Country manors in Galicia: culture and nature
Pazo de Oca Manor House
These unique places to stay are a great option if you want to do rural tourism and discover Galicia.
Legends, fairytales and poems talk about these country manors as part of Galician culture. These buildings are based on medieval castles and fortresses. They have very typical architecture, with large doors, a courtyard, "hórreos" (raised granaries), dovecots, gardens and walls. These houses can be found all over Galicia, although the most important ones are those situated in four large valleys: the historic Mariñas de A Coruña y Betanzos; the fertile valley of Salnés; Valle del Ulla, close to the city of Santiago de Compostela; and Valle del Fragoso, in the south of Galicia. Some can also be found in the small valleys in the region of Ourense. These country manors are usually situated in beautiful natural surroundings, and the gardens boast ponds and fountains amongst ancient trees and bushes that are carefully looked after. If you are going on the Way of Saint James, if you love nature or if you want alternative tourism while enjoying all the comforts and a reasonable quality/price ratio, these 17th and 18th century buildings are the perfect place for you to stay. Country manors in Galicia come in all shapes and sizes, like the Monastery-House of San Lorenzo de Trasouto or the curious Pazo de Oca, which has been built on a medieval tower.

#2 from 2013: Challenges for India's Livelihood Youth Skill Development in Rural Areas
Our Top Ten blog posts by readership in 2013
This post was originally published on July 2, 2013
A critical element in India's 12th Five Year Plan (2012-2017) is the generation of productive and gainful employment on a sufficient scale. The aim of such planning is to systematically absorb the growing working population in the unorganized sector of an expanding economy. This sector contributes about sixty percent of the country's GDP. Infact, it employs workers in micro enterprises, unpaid family work, casual labor and home based work on a mammoth scale. In addition, it also absorbs migrant laborers, farmers, artisans and more importantly out of school rural youth.
In the last decade, the Indian economy has witnessed a structural transformation from agricultural activities to manufacturing and services oriented activities. A distinct feature of this transition has been a substantial decline in the absolute number of people employed in agriculture. However, according to the Planning Commission, a crucial factor in the migration of the labor force from rural to urban areas is its temporary nature and occurrence only in lean agricultural seasons. Besides, this large chunk of labor force is not available to participate in the manufacturing or the services oriented activities due to severe lack of appropriate skill sets. According to the Commission, the latter reflects rural distress, driven by the fact, that more than eighty percent of India's farming households are small and marginal, tilling only less than 2.5 acres of land.

A Japanese seafood wholesaler found this lavender king crab in a shipment of regular king crabs. According to the company's president Kenetsu Mikami, this is the first time he has seen a crab of this color in 25 years. "It could be a good omen," he says.
True. Or it can be a sign that the kaiju apocalypse is near, Mr. Mikami. The company put it on display either way. According to RocketNews, biologists in Hokkaido say that the cause of the coloration could be "the effect of its diet or possibly a mutation causing a lack of pigment."

Design research
Thorough analysis of markets, audiences and human behaviour for various self-directed projects produced for my MA.
User-centred design
Projects for my MA Information Design utilising interviews and user testing as part of the design process.
Interface design
A cross-platform application and an accessible interface for the deaf. Projects undertaken during the MA Information Design.
Newspaper redesigns
Complex projects involving reorganising systems of production and delivery and the creation of extensive typographic style guides.
Corporate Communications
High quality communication materials for corporate and editorial clients including branding and trade marketing materials.
Design for the community
Work for the public service and community-based organisations in areas such as deafness and child welfare.
Design for music & theatre
Small theatre companies, independent musicians and a national orchestra. Output across various media.
Creative design
The tactile stuff. A variety of projects from letterpress business cards to wallpaper design and the creative use of found materials.
Design research
Research has always been a fundamental part of any project I do and is key to discovering a design solution which works for both customer and client.
I believe that the best design is one that is appropriate for the user, and the only way to find out what they need is to ask them.
I would like to work even more collaboratively in my future roles and am looking forward to working with a team that values participatory design.
The images shown here are from the research phase of my MA projects as well as from my initial planning for this website.
- Collecting a 'class of documents' to investigate how the immigration service could be improved through better form design.
- Patterns are combinations of design elements that work together to solve a problem. This table is a collection of patterns in forms design.
- Grouping and collating data for the design of this website.
- Genre audit for the design of a cross-platform application.
- Three main user needs (discovered through user interviews) are aligned to content elements to ensure that content meets user needs.
- Structural and thematic analysis of viral videos for a project for the National Relay Service.
User-centred design
The following two projects were undertaken during the MA Information Design and focused on a problem from the perspective of the user.
Instructional design
A karate manual designed as part of an exercise in instructional design. After an initial task analysis, prototypes were created to test how best represent movement in a two dimensional media. The prototypes were tested with 8 participants.
In-depth analysis of procedural text and the rhetorical structures common in instruction manuals enabled the explanations to be shortened. This de-cluttered the page and made each sequence more clear.
The final book has split pages to allow a user to revise key movements without losing their place as well as an in-built stand to make the viewing of the manual easier.
This project investigated how a redesigned public wayfinding system could improve feelings of safety and promote the use of sustainable transport to and from a public space.
Interviews with users of the public space were undertaken at the beginning of the project.
- Page from my report investigating methods of representing movement on a static page.
- Final book design showing the split page functionality.
- Page from the final design that explains to the user how the book works.
- Page from the final design showing part of a karate sequence.
- People create mental maps to help understand spaces. A user's sketch of their mental map can help identify problems in the design of a space.
- Analysis of user paths within the public space and where signage and improved lighting is required.
- Sign design was based on the ribbons of the maypole. The length of each 'ribbon' corresponds to the distance to the location.
Cross-platform interface design
An application designed for use on a desktop computer and the iPhone. The application allows users to create customized travel itineraries from user-generated content that they can download to their iPhone to use once travelling.
Personas were created after contextual research and interviews with potential users.
Accessible interface redesign
The National Relay Service provide phone calls for the deaf and the hearing impaired. Their internet application required redesigning to make it more user-friendly and attractive to their diverse audience.
I added social networking components as well as various designs to aid the user. For example, the 'dim the lights' function that darkens everything on the screen other than the conversation window so that the user's attention is not compromised.
Both of these projects were undertaken during the MA Information Design.
- iPhone user flow for the Tale Trails cross-platform interface.
- Home page of the desktop version of the cross-platform interface.
- Elastic list design for the Tale Trails cross-platform interface.
- Redesign of the National Relay Service's internet application that enables deaf people to phone the hearing.
- 'Dim the lights' feature focuses the user's attention on the chat window.
Newspaper redesigns
Whilst working for de Luxe & Associates I was the lead designer on many newspaper and magazine redesigns. These are extremely complex projects that involve multiple stakeholders. The two newspapers shown here are just two examples of the type of work conducted for a newspaper redesign project.
The Hong Kong Standard
I was the lead designer on this large-scale and complex redesign project for a Hong Kong English-speaking newspaper.
The role began with conceptual design presentations to senior editorial staff. After initial approval I was then responsible for multiple strands of the redesign project including: overseeing the technical implementation of new fonts and styles; training of sub-editors and layout staff; management of style guide creation; and management of junior staff.
The Sydney Olympic newspapers
I was the lead designer on the Sydney 2000 Olympics project for John Fairfax Publications (publisher of the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age).
One year out from the Olympics I began to design typographic styles and present to and collaborate with senior editorial staff on how the papers could be best designed.
As there were to be four editions per day, I designed the papers to be extremely modular so that layout staff could quickly update pages without destroying the clean design aesthetic.
I also had new icons commissioned as the official ones were not sophisticated enough for this design.
- The redesigned Hong Kong Standard front page (left) and the paper before the redesign (right).
- Redesigned spread. A more condensed headline font allows for a larger point size to be used whilst also fitting more words per line.
- From the typographic style guide.
- Sydney Olympic newspapers. Three editions per day were differentiated by the use of colour in the masthead.
- Internal spread from Olympic newspaper. This is a prototype page produced during the design phase.
- Icons commissioned from illustrator Simon Harris.
Corporate communications
The unexpected, the artistic, the nostalgic—all ways that a company's message can resonate with an audience. I start by looking at the audience profile and the client's goals for the project and then craft a perfect solution to please both parties.
It always helps to have a sense of humour.
- Trade marketing material designed and art directed for the Australian Financial Review Magazine to promote their brand within advertising agencies.
- Commissioned paintings from Mark Gerada were used in all visual materials for a technology conference and then taken into the company's permanent art collection.
- New logo and associated branding materials for Fairfax's digital division.
- Promotion for an interactive edition of Time magazine designed to promote the concept of interactivity within a print media.
- Promotion for Sydney photographer Martin Mischkulnig who was returning to work after a major operation. Yes, that is him in the hospital bed.
Design for the community
I worked part-time for three years for Armedia who only do work for clients in the public service or non-profit arenas. Small budgets and extremely tight deadlines are the challenges of working with these clients, but the payoff is that the work is of benefit to the community.
Work shown here is for the National Association for the Protection of Children from Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN), an organisation dedicated to fighting for the rights of children. www.napcan.org.au; and the National Relay Service, an organisation who provide phone calls for the deaf and hard of hearing. www.relayservice.com.au
- Postcards designed for the NAPCAN.
- Posters designed for the NAPCAN.
- Posters designed and art directed for the National Relay Service.
- Postcard designed for the National Relay Service. After the post-it note is removed, HELL becomes HELLO.
Company B, Belvoir St Theatre
I designed and art directed promotional material for Company B, Belvoir St Theatre from 2005 till 2009.
With each production I read the script and then brainstormed with directors and marketing staff to get the best image and typographic idea to sell each show to the public.
I also designed postcards, posters, cinema slides, invitations, key rings, vouchers, and annual reports for the Company.
Other clients
I have also designed posters for the Sydney Symphony, flyers for various club nights, and record covers. Working for these very creative clients is a wonderful opportunity to explore my creative skills.
- Pages from the 2009 Season Book for Company B, Belvoir St Theatre.
- Pages from the 2009 Season Book for Company B, Belvoir St Theatre.
- Pages from the 2009 Season Book for Company B, Belvoir St Theatre.
- Voucher design for Company B, Belvoir St Theatre.
- Art direction and design of postcards for various plays at Company B. Photographer Alex Craig.
- Poster design and concepts for the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, produced in conjunction with Digital Eskimo.
- Cover design for Sydney hip hop band Astronomy Class. Writing styles by Presto.
- Flyer designs for various club nights in Sydney.
Creative design
I really love print and its tactility. I am particularly interested in using found materials and old technologies such as letterpress printing.
- Letterpress card printed/embossed at the University of Reading on an Albion Press using the Linotype Futura collection.
- Type for my business card in the form.
- Business cards foil stamped on found stock, including old record covers.
- Wallpaper designed for Naked & Angry, a division of Threadless (the t-shirt people).
- Business cards for a lighting designer printed using thermography (raised-printing) to make the cards more tactile.

The National Transportation Safety Board says safety systems at the Chicago Transit Authority's O'Hare station were inadequate to stop the train involved in a violent crash two weeks ago which injured 32 people.
In a preliminary report issued Monday, the safety agency said a trackside device known as a "trip", designed to throw the train into emergency stop did activate the proper braking systems. But, the report noted, "due to the train speed, the distance from the fixed trip stop to the track bumper post was too short to stop the train."
"If it had been placed properly, then this would not have happened," said Jerry Latherow, a lawyer representing four of the crash victims. "One thing I was very glad to see was the CTA acted on this immediately."
He was referring to a CTA announcement last Friday, that they had moved that trip stop further out from the end of the platform. The rail agency also said they were modifying work rules for motormen. The NTSB report noted that train operator Brittney Haywood admitted dozing off at the controls just prior to the crash. Soon, the CTA says, it will implement new schedules where no operator will work more than 12 hours of actual train duty in a 14 hour period.
"They are confirming that there are things that did not stop this," union chief Robert Kelly said Monday, pointedly challenging CTA President Forrest Claypool on the new scheduling plans. "He cannot just walk in and start unilaterally changing work rules!"
- March 24: 32 Injured in Crash
- March 24: NTSB Takes Over Investigation
- March 25: Union: Operator Appears to Have Dozed Off
Kelly said while his union backs any change which will enhance safety, any rule changes must be negotiated with the union. And he questioned the math of how the CTA can implement the new schedules.
"They're saying what they want to do, and my experience says you're going to need a lot more people," Kelly said.
As for the firing of Haywood on Friday, Kelly said, "They did a disciplinary reaction, not a disciplinary action."
Kelly suggested the termination was illegal and unnecessary, and said it would be up to Haywood to decide if she wants to challenge it through the formal grievance process. If the CTA rejected that, he said a decision on sending her termination to arbitration would require a vote of the union board, and the rank and file membership.
"There are several things that didn't work," Kelly said. "And there was part human error."
But even as he conceded that, Kelly left open the possibility that the union would fight to keep Haywood's job.
"She said she dozed off," he said. "She didn't say she pulled out a pillow and went to sleep!"

Will Digital Empower or Destroy CUs?
CUs must overcome generational disadvantages to succeed in the digital payments space.
The conclusion of PSCU's street interview video project during its MoPRO conference in Las Vegas produced a moment of particular clarity.
A poster boy of the millennials, stopped randomly by attendees to glean his perspective on financial services options, turned directly at the camera, shrugged, and asked rhetorically, "Who likes banks?"
Few do, at least from the 80 million strong 18- to 34-year-old age group, says Fredda McDonald (above), PSCU's executive vice president/chief creative officer.
In fact, survey respondents from that generation placed four of the nation's biggest banks among their list of the 10 colossal businesses they most like to hate.
"We think that's good news—except they don't know the difference between us and banks," McDonald said during a breakout session about digital payments.
In fact, one-third of millennials prefer to live bank-free, and nearly three-quarters believe banks will be displaced by Apple, Google, Square, or PayPal—even though only the latter two currently offer financial services.
Meanwhile, nearly three-quarters of millennials don't know what a credit union is.
That identity crisis could prove credit unions' undoing in the ongoing payments revolution, which revolves around the millennials and the rapid ascent of mobile technology, says McDonald.
She noted that Netflix's digital strategy undercut both Blockbuster Video and the mom-and-pop video store in her favorite vacation spot.
"They were displaced by digital, and both entities lost," McDonald said. "Credit unions have that same danger if they don't adapt to the millennial shift. Millennials will have it no other way. Not that they'll be isolated to the digital or mobile experience, but it's going to be the dominant way they interact."
The bad news: Credit unions must overcome some generational disadvantages among a leadership class that boasts an average age of 55 among CEOs and 67 among directors.
The good news: Credit unions project three qualities—legitimacy, trust, and a fundamental sense of fairness—that resonate among the generation that will catalyze the ongoing shift to mobile payments.
And while banks' deep pockets give them an advantage in constructing a brick-and-mortar and mass-media presence, credit unions can go toe-to-toe in technology so long as they capitalize on the power of social media and analytics, McDonald says.
Why is the timing right for credit unions to pounce on digital?
Consider that TV, which dominated advertising dollars since its debut more than 60 years ago, has been supplanted by digital as the most impactful advertising medium, according to McDonald, citing a 2013 study indicating consumers are twice as likely to act on a digital ad.
"This is putting the marketing community on its ear," McDonald said. "Those of us who were classically trained are like, 'What do you do with that? How do you reach 313 million Americans through digital and social?' You don't—you reach them through analytics."
PSCU recently demonstrated the power of a targeted digital message when its "Make Your Money Matter" pilot program, launched in eight markets, produced 31 million Facebook impressions in six weeks, tripling its "stretch" goal.
The platform, which creates awareness about credit union advantages and allows young consumers to own prepaid cards while migrating them to full membership, was named "best educational resources website" and a top-five finalist for the People's Choice Award at the 2014 South by Southwest Festival in March in Austin, Texas.
Going beyond the aggregate numbers, the campaign produced analytical gems such as the fact 30-something yoga enthusiasts are eight times as likely as the average person to join a credit union.
This prompted McDonald to ask, "How could you ever figure that out from putting up a billboard?"
She addressed the National Association of Credit Union Service Organizations' (NACUSO) 2014 annual conference in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

Suppose, i have event tree and each node has a type namely 'event', 'sequence' and 'set'. A node can have 'n' branches.
event- leaf node
sequence- the leaf node must come in sequence like for node 'A' in the example tree the sequence must be only B->C
set- any combination of leaf node may appear in sequence like for node 'E' in the example tree: the sequence may be F->G, G->F
For example:
So, I have to generate all the possible sequence of event for a given tree. The example tree will have 4 event sequences which are
So, how it can be done in java to find out all possible sequences.
Any algorithm will also be a great help.

Book Review – "The Rotation: A Season with the Phillies and the Greatest Pitching Staff Ever Assembled"
The new Phillies book, "The Rotation: A Season with the Phillies and the Greatest Pitching Staff Ever Assembled" was written by Phillies beat reporters Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com and Todd Zolecki of "The Zo Zone." The book offers an inside view of the much-hyped 2011 Phillies starting pitching staff led by Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels.
As an avid Phillies fan, the two major things I look for in any book about the team are as follows: 1 – Does it tell me anything that I did not already know? 2 – Is it entertaining? Both of those questions, I can answer with an emphatic, "Yes."
The thing that really stood out in this book was the amount of behind-the-scenes details. The authors provide a true inside look at multiple aspects of the game, including the modern day player-reporter relationship, front office dealings, personal lives of "The Rotation" and what really makes each person tick.
The Cliff Lee chapter was my favorite. This segment gives an in-depth account of the initial Lee acquisition, the trade to Seattle and the re-signing of Lee. There are verbal accounts from everyone involved including Lee, his agent, the Phillies front office staff and other involved parties. An actual e-email sent to Dave Montgomery prior to re-signing Lee is even posted in the book.
After reading all about the gut-wrenching details and roller coaster of emotions involved in these trades and signings, I actually felt sorry for those people, including Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. and especially assistant GM Scott Proefrock. You will have to read it for yourself to believe it. What these men went through with their families, co-workers and the press is much more intricate than it appeared in the news.
And those are exactly the kind of details that make this book truly stand out. It includes everything you ever wanted to know and then some.
Even the month by month recount of "The Rotation" during the 2011 season goes above and beyond. It not only provides statistics and baseball details, but the authors also bring the characters to life with personal stories and locker room banter. For example, the veil of Halladay's steel demeanor is slightly peeled back when his first game back in Toronto as a Phillie is recounted. And did you know that Lee made a bet with Kyle Kendrick that involved a belt and smacking each other with it?
What we do know is exactly how the story ends. And that is the only issue with this book, which can hardly be blamed on the authors. We all would have preferred the "happy" ending but it was just not meant to be. Perhaps they can write that happy ending after the 2012 season? I am sure every member of the 2012 rotation is thinking the exact same thing.
If you do not yet have a copy of the book, get it here! Also, Jim Salisbury and Todd Zolecki will be signing copies of their book in various locations as follows:
•March 19: Bright House Field in Clearwater, FL, 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.
•April 2: Barnes & Noble in Plymouth Meeting, PA, 7 p.m.
•April 3: Chester County Book Company in West Chester, PA, 7 p.m.
•April 26: Barnes & Noble in Marlton, NJ, 7 p.m.

cepAdhoc: Incisive comment on current EU policy issues.
cepPolicyBrief: Concise 4-page reviews of EU proposals (Regulations, Directives, Green Papers, White Papers, Communications) – including a brief summary and economic and legal assessments.
cepInput: Impulse to current discussions of EU policies.
cepStudy: Comprehensive examination of EU policy proposals affecting the economy.
The European Commission wants to bring in a system to monitor, report and verify CO2 emissions and other climate-relevant information from ships ("MRV system"). On the one hand, the data will create a basis for further political measures. On the other, companies will gain a better overview of cost reductions.
European airspace is currently divided on the basis of national boundaries rather than in order to optimise the flow of traffic. For the establishment of a "Single European Sky" (SES), the EU issued four Regulations in 2004 (SES I) and modified them in 2009 (SES II). As there were significant delays in the implementation of SES I and SES II, the proposed Regulation (SES II+) aims to speed up the process of establishing the SES.
The Commission wants to increase the distribution of building insurance for elemental damage and ensure that industrial companies can afford to remedy environmental damage.
The Commission wants to integrate the public employment services (PES) in the Member States into a formal network and improve their efficiency by way of a benchmarking system.
EU competition law is enforced by competition authorities who find infringements of competition law and, where applicable, impose fines, and by victims who bring actions for damages before national courts. With this Directive, the Commission is seeking, on the one hand, to ensure that victims of an infringement of competition law throughout the EU are able to enforce their right to full damages. On the other hand, it wants to ensure the coordination of enforcement by way of actions for damages and enforcement by way of the competition authorities.
In order to promote the deployment of broadband, the Commission wants to reduce construction costs.
The European Commission wants to increase competition for seaport services in important EU ports by extending the freedom to provide services to include port services. It also wants to make the financial relations between public authorities and port service providers more transparent and strengthen the autonomy of port management bodies to set their own infrastructure charges in order to improve investment conditions.
The Commission proposes that, in future, it will decide, together with a new Resolution Board, on the resolution of banks in SSM States. In addition, a Single Resolution Fund will be set up to finance the resolution costs.
The European Commission has proposed a "Product Safety and Market Surveillance Package" containing, in particular, a proposal for a Regulation on consumer product safety and a proposal for a Regulation on the regulatory market surveillance of products. The proposal for a Regulation on product safety aims to simplify the different rules on consumer product safety as well as ensuring that consumer products are safe.
The European Commission has proposed a "Product Safety and Market Surveillance Package" containing, in particular, a proposal for a Regulation on consumer product safety and a proposal for a Regulation on the regulatory market surveillance of products. With its proposal for a Regulation on market surveillance, the Commission wants to prevent, by way of effective and EU-wide market surveillance, the distribution of products which represent a risk to any aspect of public interest protection, such as health, safety, consumer protection and the environment.

The two-time defending state champion Havelock Rams played host to Pamlico Wednesday in a 7-on-7 scrimmage.
HAVELOCK � The two-time defending state champion Havelock Rams played host to Pamlico Wednesday in a 7-on-7 scrimmage.
The meeting was both teams� first scrimmage of the offseason.
The teams battled for nearly two hours, taking turns trying to score from 40 yards out in four-down sets.
For first year Pamlico head coach Kevin Yost, the trip to Havelock was simply about making his kids better.
�It�s kind of a clich� but if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best and Coach Bryant and his guys have won two state championships the right way and our guys competed and that is the main thing we wanted to see,� Yost said.
Both 23-man squads went right at each other and both impressed their counterparts.
�We had some fundamental mistakes that we will continue to work on but playing against a team this fast and talented as Havelock is, it can only make us better,� Yost said.
Havelock coach Jim Bob Bryant was also closely watching his guys as the Rams are competing Friday in a passing league in Charlotte.
�We wanted to get a lot of guys on the field and a lot of reps. We know who our starters are, we are just trying to build depth,� Bryant said. �For Charlotte, I mean we are going up there to win it, not just have a good showing. If they are keeping score of a game we are playing, then we want to win it.�
Havelock�s same 23 guys that competed against Pamlico will board the bus to Charlotte Thursday around 1 p.m.
Many elite teams from across the state will be competing against the Rams, including Davidson Day with top quarterback prospect Will Grier who is a Florida commit.
Bryant said that he was impressed by the young team across the field on Wednesday.
�Pamlico is tough. They have a good young team and I think coach Yost and coach Twichell and their guys are going to turn that program around either this year or the next couple years,� Bryant said.

Sunita Narain proposes more Government
we bought samples of leading brands available in the market and analysed content for the toxin. What we found was staggeringly high levels of lead in virtually all samples we checked. India does not have a mandatory standard for regulating lead in paints. We only have a voluntary code laid down by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), which specifies that lead content should be 1,000 parts per million (ppm). Our tests found that the biggest and best companies had lead levels 180 times the voluntary standard.
But we were not surprised, as I said. After all, the government has not set standards to phase out lead in this daily-use product. Something most governments had done some 20 years ago. In the US, lead had been termed the number one environmental threat to the health of children. But it was a non-issue for the industry in India. We were angry at this indifference and decided to write to all major paint companies asking them about their plans to phase out lead. We expected little response. But this time we were really surprised.
Two of the major companies — Asian Paints and Nerolac — wrote back saying that they were planning to get rid of lead. They promised that this would happen soon, within a few months. So, instead of immediately releasing our report, we thought we should wait: To recheck and to validate if the companies kept the promise they had made to us. Some months later we went to the market and picked samples of the same companies.
Our analysis found a change. Of the big five, three companies had no lead in their product. Asian Paints and Nerolac had indeed cleaned up. Berger and Shalimar still had lead in the samples we tested. Both are big companies and neither have any excuses. The fact is that companies have the technology to phase out lead. (via Sunita Narain: New coat of paint).
Actions matter
Much as I like Sunita Narain's work, her reading of this situation is wrong.
Unlike her fault-finding, this was good news. For three reasons.
1. Three out of the five biggest companies voluntarily agreed and reduced lead content – at a significant cost to their own bottom-lines. Without a sword over their head or legal threats hanging over them. Just a gentle pointer did the trick. That is good news. This is possibly why Indians trust their companies more than the Rest of the World.
2. The Government has voluntary codes – which are NOT enforced. Unlike the US. We should do more of this – and not less, Ms.Sunita Narain. Bigger Government, with greater enforcement agenda is a bad idea – and no good can ever come out of it.
For you to call for greater Government activism is simply more bad news. The American model is faulty, expensive and prone to abuse. Why copy a failed model?
3. Ms.Narain – Maybe, your organization can franchise a 'प' (Prakriti) logo – for all companies that voluntarily adhere to the highest global standards. And that will again be good news.
Let us take away the regulatory load (which will soon become overload) from the Government and move towards self-regulation.
I think it is time you took a 2ndlook.

Supporters of civil unions gather to mourn, regroup and get ready for 2013
Several hundred fired-up Coloradans attended what was called an "uncivil soiree" Wednesday, a combination group therapy/pep rally over the fate of civil unions this year in the legislature and the importance of electing of more like-minded lawmakers in November.
Among those who spoke were two gay Denver Democrats, Sen. Pat Steadman and House Minority Leader Mark Ferrandino, who co-sponsored the civil unions legislation.
Ferrandino praised an article in Sunday's Denver Post detailing the death of civil unions and some of the backroom maneuvering. He noted that in the article, it was reported that Republican Speaker Frank McNulty informed the governor's office if the bill passed he wanted a low-key, private bill signing.
"You know what? Next year when we pass this bill, we're not doing a quiet ceremony," Ferrandino said. What else he said was drowned out on the tape because the cheers were so loud.

lcjohnson1988IndianaAge: 45-54Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5April 1, 2014lcjohnson1988IndianaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4Cassidy Shaw has met a new friend and soon introduces her to her two other best friends, Nicole Hedges and Allison Pierce. Cassidy will do anything for a story for her job as crime reporter. Elizabeth Avery is Cassidy's new friend and is a master manipulator. She cons Cassidy into buying her new clothes and lies fly out of her mouth as easily as air. Cassidy has no idea her new friend is a sociopath, an expert liar, as well as a murderer. Cassidy feels empty inside and thinks maybe Elizabeth's friendship can help fill that void.
Nicole discovers something that will change her life forever. She pushes away Leif Larson, who she had begun to think of as her boyfriend. She tells no one about what is stressing her out initially. She thinks she can handle it on her own. She dives in to work, trying to find out who killed a young intern reporter at Cassidy's TV station. She is also helping Allison gather evidence to convict another murderer, who is also a medical student.
Allison is faced with a decision regarding her down-and-out sister, who has reappeared in her life and begins to live with Allison and her husband as she has nowhere else to go. Lindsay promises she is clean and sober and has left her loser boyfriend behind. Allison also knows something is wrong with Nicole, but can't get a straight answer from her. Once she finally learns what is going on with Nicole, she decides to pray for her and show her Christ by loving her and supporting her with mercy and compassion. Allison is also intent on catching two criminals and putting them in jail for a very long time.
While there is a ton of action and lots of thrills, an interesting and entertaining plot, I really wish there were no sexual situations in the story. The plot moves along quickly and I couldn't put the book down. I have really come to enjoy these three female characters and almost feel like they are friends of my own. I hope the next book can maintain the high energy, but without the sexual situations. The next book in the series is titled, Eyes of Justice. I look forward to reading about the Triple Threat Club's latest adventure in fighting crime.
SimkaAge: 18-24Gender: female3 Stars Out Of 5It's Ok...April 8, 2012SimkaAge: 18-24Gender: femaleQuality: 3Value: 3Meets Expectations: 2This book is the third in the Triple Threat series featuring: Allison, a federal prosecutor; Nicole a FBI agent; and Cassidy a TV journalist. These three intelligent women investigate a new cold-blooded murderer-- Elizabeth Avery. She is beautiful, smart and clever, but under all of that she is cold, calculated, and a manipulative person. But more important than that, she is dangerous. After the murder of a reporter, she catches the interest of the 'Triple Threat'. They must connect the pieces to catch Avery before it is too late...
Overall, I must say that this book was OK. It wasn't terrible and it wasn't over the top. Knowing who the culprit was before hand was a clever idea, but I find it took out the fun of 'guessing who did it'. There was good action, and twists and turns that were very commendable.
*I received a free copy of this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze. The opinions I have expressed are entirely my own.
Josh PhelpsBerea, KyAge: 35-44Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Heart of Ice is amazing!February 29, 2012Josh PhelpsBerea, KyAge: 35-44Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Another homerun! That is how I would describe this next installment of the Triple Threat Club. Heart of Ice, by Lis Wiehl and April Henry is riveting and will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the novel.
When multiple bodies turn up Allison, the federal prosecutor, and Nicole, an FBI Agent must figure out who is responsible. Insert Elizabeth who has the gift of manipulation and can get most people to do whatever she wants them to do. From getting free clothes to having people kill for her, she won't stop until she gets what she wants. This poses a problem as she friends Cassidy, the reporter and third member of the triple threat club. Read along as the one hits close to home for all of the ladies as they search out the truth.
This book is full of twists, turns, and surprises that will keep you reading and not wanting to put the book down. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes murder mysteries. You will not be disappointed and you do not need to read the other books in the triple threat club, but they are just as exciting. This book is written with a Christian perspective but also tends to lean towards general fiction.

I bought this book for our church library at a Christian Book Store. I thought I could trust books published by Thomas Nelson but I have been proved wrong. The first two people who checked it out couldn't get past the first few chapters. One read the ending to see if it was redeeming, but she said it wasn't. So I took it home to read. It was so unedifying and a few 'Christian' words tied in did not make it an appropriate book for Christian audiences. Too much attention on the sociopath character(s).
PastorWisconsinAge: 45-54Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5An Action Packed ThrillerJanuary 26, 2012PastorWisconsinAge: 45-54Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I have thorougly enjoyed everyone of the books in the "Triple Threat" series by Lis Wiehl and April Henry. "Heart of Ice" is no exception. It is a fast read with plenty of action and thrills. There is deception, arson, and murder. We also get an inside look at the personal lives of the three main characters: Alison, a Federal prosecuter, Nicole, an FBI agent, and Cassidy, a television reporter. Together they solve the the crimes conceived by Elizabeth, who has a heart of ice. (They know her personally, but did not suspect her until...). Elizabeth is pretty and winsome, but lethal. You don't want to cross her. And Nicole's daughter is alone with her for a swimming lesson. Will Nicole get there in time and be able to save her daughter before its too late? One of the members in the Triple Threat Club is also on Elizabeth's list. Who? You will have to read the book. Most of the time, Elizabeth gets other to do her dirty work. She doesn't get too close. But this time she as to take matters into her own hands. Will she get caught and how much evil will she conceive?
I had been looking forward to this book since I read the last one in the series, "Hand of Fate". I have read the books and also listened to them on audio books. I enjoy them both ways. Now, I look foward to the fourth book in the series. I highly recommend this book. You won't be disappointed.

What is a Short Sale
A short sale in real estate occurs when the outstanding obligations (loans) against a property are greater than what the property can be sold for. Short sales are a way for homeowners to avoid foreclosure on their homes and still be able to pay off their loan by settling with lender.
This is the fastest-growing foreclosure alternative. Many lenders will allow a Short Sale, when the home sells for less than the amount of the loan. This is attractive for lenders because they lose less money than in a foreclosure. Also, Short Sales generally take less time than foreclosures, so the banks don't have to carry the properties on their books as liabilities.

BOULDER, CO - March 15, 2006
Webroot Software, Inc., the leading provider of anti-spyware software and other security technologies for the enterprise and consumer markets, is now offering its Premium Channel Edge partners an exclusive opportunity to add the Webroot Enterprise SpyAudit tool to their already comprehensive sales tool arsenal at no additional cost. Premium Channel Edge partners can use the Enterprise SpyAudit tool to quickly, easily and accurately evaluate customers' level of spyware risk. This unique tool gives Premium Channel Edge partners a clear competitive advantage to increase profitability and shorten sales cycles.
Enterprise SpyAudit provides the most accurate and thorough snapshot of the state of an enterprise's spyware infection. With comprehensive detection capabilities, Enterprise SpyAudit is a convenient tool that can be deployed seamlessly across a network to quickly detect spyware infections on a company's desktop or laptop environment. This enables Webroot Premium Channel Edge partners to immediately evaluate a company's current spyware infection status and recommend specific security programs to eradicate their current spyware infestation and better protect their networks in the future.
"Enterprise SpyAudit gives our Premium Channel Edge partners a real competitive edge. Our partners can now easily detect live spyware threats within an enterprise environment and use the results to educate their customers and better demonstrate the need for superior anti-spyware protection," said Vinay Goel, vice president of worldwide marketing for Webroot Software, Inc.

Ancient_Snowfall wrote:Yes, that makes perfect sense. As far as the going to Gweedore bit goes, Moya herself has said many times how much that can improve one's understanding of the music. (She says it in an interview that was posted recently in the concerts, clips, and interviews thread in General, and I know I've heard it other places. She said it to me herself when I met her, too.) It makes sense that the same should go for the book. (And also, reading the book can help you understand the music, too. Guess it's all a big circle. Like you said, the more you know, the more you can understand and the more real it all feels.)
I actually went to Gweedore before first reading the book. I had wanted to get it ahead of time but that didn't happen. It turned out that I got my copy a month after getting home from Ireland, so on my very first reading, I had all those images in my head. I think that it did enhance the experience, but I have nothing to compare it to, since I never read the book without having previously been up Errigal or to Bunbeg. So for me, it was meeting Moya that changed my interpretation more than going to all of those places.
And, to answer the question the whole topic is based on, I've read it twice so far, but I know I'll read it more.
Ah- it seems you had a similar experience to mine, only the other way around

Small business owners don't understand health reform, survey says
It seems many small business owners were waiting until after the presidential election to take the time to understand national health reform.
A recent survey by eHealthInsurance reveals widespread confusion.
Some 78 percent of small business owners said they were not familiar with health insurance exchanges and how they could impact their business.
Also, 77 percent of small employers said they were not doing any long-term planning regarding how health care reform might impact their business.
The majority of small businesses, 68 percent, either incorrectly believe or aren't sure whether they must provide health insurance to employees in 2014. And almost 70 percent either incorrectly believed or were not sure whether they would have to pay a tax for not providing health insurance.
Beginning in 2014, the Affordable Care Act requires businesses with 50 or more full-time employees to provide health insurance coverage for their workers. Businesses with fewer than 50 employees are exempt from this requirement.
The survey was conducted anonymously online in August.
eHealthInsurance is the country's first and largest private health insurance exchange.

Ignite Your Child's Love for Jesus
What's FaithLaunch?
You're about to discover a fun, easy way to do one of the most important things in the world. It's FaithLaunch: A Simple Plan to Ignite Your Child's Love for Jesus by John Trent and Jane Vogel.
FaithLaunch isn't the only method for introducing your child to Jesus, of course. But it's a good way to do it without pressuring your child, exhausting yourself, or upending your family's schedule. Each of the 13 "Family Times" takes about 30 to 45 minutes; that's 30 to 45 minutes of togetherness, not tedium. You might use one Family Time each week for 90 days or bits and pieces over a longer period. You get to decide, because FaithLaunch is flexible.
The goal is to prepare your child to begin a relationship with God. Since so many children receive Christ as Savior when they're 4 to 7 years old, each Family Time is written with that age group in mind. But shifting gears for kids ages 8 to 12 is easy; just use the optional activities.
FaithLaunch gives you plenty of fun ways to learn, including three Adventures in Odyssey episodes to listen to. You'll sculpt with clay, stage a treasure hunt, even tell a story with the help of your child's action figures or dolls. If you need an excuse to play with your child, here it is! And if you need permission to talk about what's important, that's here, too.
The plan for each Family Time is easy to follow. Your goal is clear, and the items you'll need are listed right down to snacks you might enjoy. To boost your confidence, things you might say are spelled out in bold type with answers to questions in parentheses. And you're always free to adapt the plan to fit you and your child.
There's a bonus, too - another confidence booster. In Part III of the book you'll find answers to questions your child might ask about God, the Bible, Jesus, joining God's family, and more. So there's no need to panic if your child wants to know something that isn't on the tip of your tongue!

Frank H. Johnston
Canadian, 1888–1949
Serenity, Lake of the Woods, 1922
oil on canvas
102.3 x 128.4 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery
Painting, Canadian Modern (1910-1979)
A founding member of the Group of Seven, Frank Johnston was Principal of the Winnipeg School of Art between 1921 and 1924, at which time the School was affiliated with the Winnipeg Art Gallery. In this large painting Johnston captures the geographical expanse of the Lake of the Woods in Ontario and the intensity of the region's long-lasting summer light. Johnston had a positive and lasting impact as a teacher and practicing artist in Winnipeg. He exhibited regularly in the city, and his first solo exhibition in Winnipeg was mounted at the WAG in February 1922, several months before Serenity, Lake of the Woods was painted. Johnston returned to Toronto in 1924 and, intent on pursuing an independent exhibition path, severed his formal ties with the Group.

cosmicfantasia needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 57 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
The logo is for is a macadamia nut farm, processing plant and sales operation. More details in long description.
A $300 prize is offered to entice designers to create a stylish and unique design that the owners of the business can truly be proud of whenever they see it. The color scheme used should be earthy colors.
Australian Macadamia
Not required for logo
Desired Color Scheme:
Earthy colors
Desired Style:
Stylish and unique. Use of trees, nuts and processing technology would be preferred, but don't want to make it a too busy logo. The winning logo will be Simple and Elegant and hopefully touch on all the elements mentioned in the long description/brief.
Accepted File Formats:
Vector - Adobe Illustrator
A client of ours is going to undertake an image overview and part of that will be the new logo that this contest is for. The business is a macadamia nut farm, processing plant and sales operation. Their current Website (which will be redesigned after the logo comp) can be found @ http://australianmacadamia.com.au
For more information on Macadamia Nuts please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macadamia_nuts
A $300 prize is offered to entice designers to create a stylish and unique design that the owners of the business can truly be proud of whenever they see it. The color schemes used should be earthy colors (like what is used on the current site, but not limited to just these colors), to reflect the farm business, the color of the tress and nuts and the colors of Australian native bush where Macadamias are native to.
In this particular business, the processing of the nuts is important and hence the technology used to process these nuts. Being able to subtly add the technology element to the logo would be a bonus but not absolutely necessary. To find out more about the technology side of things please see --> http://australianmacadamia.com.au/processing/
We guarantee a winner. And if there is a standout entry before the week is up we will award it early. We want this quick, but don't want to deny getting the best possible logo. We will run over a week if we absolutely have to, so that we can ensure a winner.
Please ask as many questions as required to get understand anything to do with the business and what is required.
