What exactly is DMX? In this article, Duke DeJong demystifies those three little letters and hows how they assist us in lighting design.
By now, most people involved in church tech have seen these three little letters (DMX) and know they are the key to controlling your lights. But I find that's often all people know about it. We're going to change that today.
Digital Multiplex
In the early years of lighting, proprietary communication protocols were pretty much the only way to talk to your dimmer racks from your lighting console. Every one had its own language, which as you can imagine, made it really hard to mix and match gear without an "interpreter". While there were some interpreting pieces of gear out there, it wasn't until 1986 when the Engineering Commission of United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT) created Digital Multiplex, or DMX for short. Driven by the emergence of new "intelligent lights" and the desire to have different brands play nicely with each other, we finally had a standard language for all lighting things to speak.
But What Is DMX?
DMX communicates 512 channels of information to everything it is connected to. Every channel is communicating a simple value somewhere between 0 and 255 which we often convert to a percentage of 0-100%. It is a pipeline of information and everything connected to a universe of DMX can pull from all 512 channels. We tell a fixture or dimmer rack what channels we want it to listen to by addressing the fixture/dimmer.
For example, if you have a 4 channel dimmer pack addressed to channel 1, it will look for the values on channels 1-4 and provide power to the fixtures plugged in at the value you've sent it. An LED fixture in 4 channel mode (Red, Green, Blue, Intensity) addressed to channel 101 will see a value for Red in channel 101, Green in 102, Blue in 103, and overall intensity in 104.
You tell any given fixture or dimmer which channels it should take its values from and it will, simple as that. DMX travels to fixtures or dimmers via DMX cable, which has 120 ohm resistance (as opposed to microphone cable which has 75 ohm resistance) and uses either 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connectors.
The Remote Control
So if DMX is just a conduit of information, what generates those values for each of the 512 channels? Your lighting console handles that job. It serves as a highly sophisticated universal remote.
You know those remotes where you select an input and then the remote changes the values for the functions that piece of gear has (like channel, volume, menu settings, etc.)? A lighting controller works the same way, except it simply says, "OK input 1, 255. Input 2, 128. Input 3, 0." It does this for all 512 channels constantly, updating the values it sends as you tell it to. And if a fixture has multiple channels of information, it's just like having more features available on the remote for that source.
Practical Applications
One of the beautiful things about DMX is that you can hook up your fixtures in any order and, as long as they are all addressed properly, they'll all get the values they are looking for. DMX is meant to be daisy chained, though it's recommended that you don't daisy chain more than 30 fixtures together. If you have more than 30 fixtures or your fixtures are spread out so far that daisy chaining them isn't practical, you can buy an opti splitter to distribute DMX safely and completely to all of your fixtures.
It's also highly recommended that you terminate your DMX line with DMX terminator. DMX moves information at a high speed, so it's critical to give it the best signal path possible—free from interference and the possibility of getting bogged down. Too many fixtures on one chain, not having your line terminated, and using microphone cable instead of DMX are all things that can cause interference in your communication. That can result in lights doing interesting things. Those fixtures then are still receiving communication; it's just not always the right communication.
Hopefully that clears up any questions or confusion that revolves around DMX for you. It's really as simple as being a conduit of 512 channels of information, and it's a critical component to making your lighting systems work. Use it correctly, and you will have the power and control to do great things with your lighting

I am in EXCEL 2013 and I want to extract the data when I have excel open with the ADD IN or COM
I finally got a response from IBM. see below:
Here is the information on only
able to use the Data Transfer Addin only one time in MS Excel 2013. As stated
we have not tested IBM Access for Windows with Excel 2013 so technically it is
not supported, but here is what we found.
One important new feature of Excel 2013 is that it no longer supports MDI (Multiple Document Interface) and it now uses the SDI (Single Document Interface) paradigm, just following a trend that other Office applications, like Word, started a few years ago. With this new behavior, every Excel document opens a window handled by the same Excel process.
With Excel 2013, the default you have is to create a new window within the existing Excel process. In order to force the creation of a separate instance of the Excel process, you have these options:
1. From the command prompt, run EXCEL /X and you will open Excel window as a new instance. The /X command switch forces the creation of a new instance.
2. Right click on the Excel Tab in Windows taskbar keeping the ALT key pressed. And without releasing the ALT key, click on "Microsoft Excel 2013" option from the context menu. Excel will ask you if you require opening Excel as a new instance. You might press YES.
Please note you cannot use this technique to open an existing document – you have to create the new Excel process first, and then open the existing workbook from there"
3. The other option would be to remove and add the Data Transfer addin every time you need to use in Excel 2013.

Tutoring: Students and teachers discuss pros and cons of tutoring at the school
December 9, 2017
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a physics student must be in want of a tutor.
Out of 185 upperclassmen who are currently taking physics or have taken physics and responded to an anonymous poll by the Record, 30 percent used a tutor. Many students expect physics, whether taken over the summer or the regular school year, to be a difficult course and seek help outside of school.
"Driving the need for tutoring can be a mix of many factors, including but not limited to the rigor of one's course load, the presence of a learning or other disability, a family crisis, competing interests both in and out of school, or the pressure associated with any given year, Head of School Dr. Tom Kelly said.
"Summer physics (SuPhy) was really intense and I needed someone to help because if you don't get it, you're screwed. You need to have someone extra to help you because the teachers are helping other kids during the day," Malka Krijestorac (11) said.
Every year for the past four years, Library Department Chair Caroline Bartels has sent out a tutoring list to every student taking Summer School, she said.
On the second day of SuPhy, Bliss Beyer (12) said, "This isn't going to work without a tutor." Beyer did problem sets and ICPs (in-class practice problems) and studied for tests with her tutor. She would not have passed summer physics without him, she said.
"I used a tutor every night for at least five hours during SuPhy," Beyer said. "That's not an exaggeration."
Science teacher Dr. Jane Wesely said she knows students in her physics class use tutors. "I don't know how many use tutors because students don't tend to talk about it to me," Wesely said.
Science teacher Oleg Zvezdin worries that using tutors may distract struggling students from using resources they already have and that he recommends, such as meeting with their teachers and working with their classmates, he said.
Casey Lutnick (11) said her physics tutor gave her an advantage in some ways over other people because she could have her questions answered out of class.
"There are times when I see students do particularly well on problem sets in physics, but their work on tests is not nearly as good," Science Department Chair Dr. Stephen Palfrey said. "There can be lots of reasons for that, but one thing I often end up being concerned with is 'Are they getting too much help from somebody else?'"
Physics is adored by much of the student body, but perceived as consuming too much time outside of school, Kelly said. "Our teachers worked diligently to make some changes to this year's program in light of reported concerns, and have committed the bulk of their free time on campus to supporting their students," he said.
"We have made some changes over the last few years cutting some content. We thought hard about the overarching themes we wanted to run through the course and cut a few topics which felt least connected to those themes. We have also tried to incorporate more time throughout the week for problem solving in the classroom," Zvezdin said.
Tutoring is common for other academic subjects as well; out of the 342 students who responded to The Record poll, 49 percent have used a tutor for an academic class.
Ben Rosenbaum (11) has used a tutor in science and math. After struggling with tests, his parents pushed him to get a tutor, he said. Rosenbaum tried two tutors, but both of them just did all of his schoolwork and did not help him to understand the material, he said.
"I was not doing much of my work and relying on them," Rosenbaum said.
"At any given time, the school probably recommends outside tutoring for approximately ten-15 percent of the student body," Kelly said. "As for what the number looks like beyond what the school recommends, it's hard to say. I'm well aware of many students thoughtfully engaged with a tutor who have chosen not to share this additional level of support with the school," Kelly said.
Science and math are the two most common subjects for students to be tutored in. According to a recent poll of 342 students, of the 185 that had a tutor, 55 percent have been tutored in science and 66 percent have been tutored in math.
Maya Scholnick (12) began using a tutor because she was "struggling to understand concepts in science and wanted to make sure that [she] stayed at the same level as [her] class," she said.
Anya Swift's (12) tutors clarify the material by explaining and personalizing it, she said. "In many science classes, I found that with people who understood everything, teachers would teach at those people's level and leave the rest of us in the dust," she said.
Having a math tutor once a week made going over homework, studying, and doing test corrections easier because concepts that confused him were easier to understand with a tutor, Josh Benson (11) said.
School policy allows teachers to tutor students outside of the classroom, as long as they are not tutoring students they teach in school, Mathematics Department Chair Charles Worrall said.
"I do think it's appropriate for some kids to have help with tutoring sometimes," Worrall said. "I tend to think it's good when it's about helping kids to catch onto things they weren't totally catching on to, as opposed to drilling to make the difference between an A- and an A or something like that," he said.
Math teacher Jessica Emory occasionally tutors students in school. "Everyone benefits from hearing information from a number of different voices and resources," Emory said. "If your teacher works, that's great, but if not, having a tutor gives you another resource."
Out of 342 students polled, 61.4 percent believe that tutoring creates an unfair advantage for people who have them over people who do not.
Benson said his tutor gave him an advantage over other students because it was a resource other students in his class could not access. "That's why, when I stopped needing one at the end of sophomore year, I dropped it," Benson said.
Scholnick, who uses a tutor in math and science, said it was extremely helpful. "It was nice just to have the one-on-one sessions and have things re-explained and to slow it down to make things easier to follow," Scholnick said. "It hasn't made me do better than other kids, but advanced me to do better than I could and try to get back to the same level as other kids," she said.
Although science and math are the two subjects in which students receive the most tutoring, students have tutors in history and English as well, where in addition to the issue of receiving too much help, there can be concerns about plagiarism.
Grace Sander (12) uses a tutor for math and for writing essays. She has found her tutor to be very helpful, mostly because she always has access to him, she said.
English teacher Harry Bauld is against tutoring because it is used by students to get better grades than their work deserves and because it currently favors those who can afford tutors, especially the "best" tutors, he said.
Lucy Rittmaster (11) also uses a history tutor. "My history tutor forces me to reread my work and helps with some grammar," Rittmaster said.
"We want students to think for themselves," English teacher Deborah Stanford said. "We want them to process information to the best of their capability."
"I think the whole issue of tutoring is abused because students are using it when it's not needed," Stanford said. "They're trying to short-circuit the learning process."
"It's to succeed in this competitive environment for the endgame of college. Our mission is to make students better learners, more analytical, adaptable, creative readers, writers and thinkers," Bauld said.
Stanford has occasionally talked to students about plagiarism in papers they submit. "The issue of a paper being organized, conceived, written by someone else, someone else feeding ideas and or words; that's plagiarism," Stanford said.
"You have a conversation with the student, a one-on-one asking what the process was in constructing the paper," Stanford said. 'It can sometimes be a very uncomfortable conversation where the young person immediately gets on the defensive and the adult is struggling to figure out how to make this truly a teachable moment."
"You can tell the difference in someone's authentic voice. Students don't understand how easy it is to tell the difference between work you actually wrote and work that has been advised by others," Bauld said.
There have been incidents in the past where tutors can aid students too much in their work, leading to students receiving "academic penalties of plagiarism," History Department Chair Dr. Daniel Link said.
A later issue will feature the second part in our series on tutoring, focusing on the socioeconomics of tutoring as well as the school's Tutoring Center.

We do. We really, really do. We Protestants need the papacy. We need it for our theology. We need it for our politics. We need it more than we want to admit.
And this is a good thing. (Yeah, I said it Rev. Hess, the papacy is a good thing!) For those Lutherans and other Protestants who think Pope Francis, Pope Benedict XVI, and Saints John Paul II and John XXIII are the antichrist, you should probably stop reading this post right now, because I am a Lutheran pastor who is utterly captivated by the papacy.

Charles Babbage (1791 to 1871) A mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer. Babbage is best remembered for originating the concept of a programmable computer in 1822. The Difference Engine was never completed.
Sydney Padua, creator of the graphic novel, is an animator and visual effects artist, usually employed in making monsters for the movies. She started drawing comics by accident with the webcomic 2D Goggles or The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage. Originally from the Canadian prairie, she now lives in London with her husband.

The search was done on 30 April 2015 at 16:10 hrs.
The Top 10 includes original graphic novels, or original graphic short-story anthologies.
The story must be complete, but can be complete in no more than three volumes.
All graphic novels are published after 1st January 2010. They should not be reprints of older works.
We have accepted that graphic novels that appear for the first time in the English language can be seen as new to the market, even if they are older works, provided they are published within the period.
The Top 10 does not include adaptations, illustrated books, cartoon-books, childrens' books, film tie-ins, spin offs or part works or the superhero genre.
It does not include graphic novels that are listed as available on pre-order but not actually published.

The top executives at Apple has once again showcased their knack at avoiding the punitive hands of the tax collector after the Silicon Valley-based tech company reported a 2 percent tax spending for the chunk of money generated by the sales of their products overseas in the last fiscal year.
According to its annual report filed with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission, Apple only shelled out $713 million in taxes on $26.87 billion in foreign profits.
On the other hand, the iPhone maker spent a whopping $12.26 billion in federal taxes and $1.06 billion in state taxes for the profits they earned in the United States.
Apple's growing business empire was attributed to its engaging line of innovative products and tax strategies overseas.
Like many multi-national conglomerates, Apple is racking up the large portion of their profit money from the sales of their products abroad, where tax policies are lax and favorable for their business.
However, these profits tend to stay overseas as companies tried to avoid an onerous 35 percent tax rate if they decided to 'repatriate' their money obtained in foreign lands back to the United States. Several companies such as Cisco Systems have previously asked for tax relief for the repatriation of their overseas profits.
Despite spending an incredibly cheap amount of money for their overseas taxes, Apple has not utilized any loopholes just to prevent paying lucrative taxes.
Instead, the company's top executives used their smarts to capitalize on the slack tax regulations abroad, giving them the leverage to spend less out of their enormous profits.
"These technology giants are playing by the rules, but the problem is the rules are broken. Who sets the rules? The government. And yet the government all but takes it out on the individual taxpayer by making them drag the country out of economic downturn kicking and screaming," said ZDNet's Zack Whittaker.
With the competition in the U.S tech market increasingly becomes tighter than ever, Apple will not stop at tapping all possible options to capitalize on the profit opportunities at tax-friendly countries such as China and India.

8 Tips for Planning Your Next Thailand Vacation
The stats are in: Southeast Asia has been steadily rising in popularity and as a result 32.6 million foreign tourists took a Thailand vacation in 2016 alone.
Are you planning your Thailand vacation, but unsure or overwhelmed where to start in the "Land of Smiles?"
Don't worry! We're here to provide guidance on one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
Let's get into the best tips for creating an unforgettable adventure!
Planning Your Thailand Vacation
Plan Your Trip Early
With a bit of advanced planning, you can consequently score very affordable budget tickets to Thailand.
In fact, when planned accordingly, a trip from Los Angeles to Bangkok may cost nearly the same as a trip from Los Angeles to New York City. Not bad, right?
A few airfare tips:
- Fly into Bangkok (as it is the cheapest airport, on average, to fly into)
- Travel on Tuesdays, which are historically the cheapest days of the week for flying
- Consider traveling in the off-season
- Track flights and watch for price drops
Map out Where You Want to Go
Most people start out in Bangkok, but please don't limit your stay just to the city. There is so much to see in this country!
Many people visit Thailand for several weeks at a time, but determine how many days you want your trip to last, as this will help determine your itinerary.
For example, if you're interested in scenery, nature, and the classic elephant experience, you can't have a proper Thailand vacation without a visit to Chiang Mai in the north region. If you're looking for more of a beach vibe, you're going to want to look into the South region.
As a general note, map out where you want to visit first, and figure out the accommodations afterwards.
Determine the Type of Trip You Want
Just like most countries, Thailand offers a variety of organized tours. These tours often handle transportation, excursions, and accommodations at a fixed, package price. This is probably a great option for those who simply want the peace of mind of someone else taking care of their travel details.
However, with a bit of advanced research and planning, you can navigate your own trip and itinerary. This allows you significantly more freedom, flexibility, and ability to change your plans at the last moment. It also allows you to design the exact trip you want without taking a group of strangers into consideration.
Note that thousands of backpackers venture through Thailand each year. With practical safety sense and responsibility, this country is friendly to anyone traveling solo or doing it on their own.
Bring Your Appetite (And an Open Mind)
Ready for the most flavorful and delicious cuisine of your life? You're in for a treat on your Thailand vacation. This is home to some of the best dishes in the world, so bring an empty stomach and an appetite.
Enjoy authentic Thai meals (pad thai, anyone?) for as little as $1-2 on the streets. Other great dishes include:
- Kuay Teow Moo Daeng (Red Pork Noodle Soup)
- Pad Kra Pao (Miced pork or checked sit fried with basil and chilies, served over a plate of steamed rice)
- Som Tam (Shaved papaya tossed with various vegetables and chilies)
- Banana Pancakes (Fried dough filled with bananas and topped with condensed milk, chocolate, and sugar)
- Mango Sticky Rice (sticky rice, mangos, and coconut cream syrup)
If you're feeling thirsty, be sure to check out famous Thai beers to pair with your meals. Be sure to gulp one down from a 7-Eleven (it's tradition!).
Looking for more of a caffeine buzz? Thailand is known for its complex-tasting coffee varieties with special strains of Arabica beans and Nacha coffee. They're also known for their world-famous iced teas (Cha Manao).
And, if you're feeling brave? There are plenty of options to eat insects. We're talking crickets, mealworms, and beetles. Enjoy!
Figure out Transportation
Getting around during your Thailand vacation will be relatively inexpensive, even if you're traveling between larger distances.
For example, local buses run for as little as 8 THB per trip. Motorbike taxis range around 35 THB and prices are also negotiable. Additionally, depending on the season and local weather temperatures, many cities are walkable.
Even train service around the country is cheap, with trains costing as little as 50 THB. Furthermore, if you ever feel confused or concerned about the prices, just ask. Thai people are known for their friendly and helpful personalities!
Look into Activities
Ready to try scuba diving? Interested in deep water soloing? Want to experience a classic Thai massage or visit an elephant sanctuary?
Thailand is known for having infinite activities (the kind that leave a lasting memory) for every kind of traveler.
Some of our classic favorites include:
- Visiting a floating market
- Bathing an elephant
- Having a fish spa
- Taking a traditional Muay Thai class
- Stretching out in a yoga class
- Riding in a tuk tuk (3-wheeled motorized vehicle seen all around Thailand)
- Exploring the various historical temples
- Taking a traditional cooking class
- Visiting a night market
Be Flexible
This is an amazing country full of beautiful sights and experiences. It's therefore very common for foreigners to visit for a Thailand vacation and never want to leave!
With that in mind, even if you are planning out a tight itinerary, be sure to plan a bit of free time for just wandering around and taking the day spontaneously. Do your best to be flexible with your travel plans.
After all, who knows? You may end up getting scuba certified in the process as a result of spending a few extra days at the beach.
You may extend a two-week trip into two months (you wouldn't be the first, and you certainly won't be the last).
Indulge Yourself
Even though Thailand offers a variety of inexpensive activities, there is no shortage of first-class and five-star experiences.
Consider taking in all the beautiful sights and experiences while staying in a luxurious accommodation and having your every need pampered. After all, this is vacation! You deserve to be treated well!
In conclusion, if you're searching for the ultimate Thailand experience with the authentic feel our country is known for, Howie's HomesStay is happy to help you have the trip of your lifetime! Check out all inclusive rates here.

2001 Summer Gear Review – Black Hills Trout Fishing
The Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming.
I grew up fishing western South Dakota bass ponds within sight of the cool Black Hills, mountains filled with trout ponds embedded in the ponderosa pine timber. I enjoyed fishing trout streams and bass puddles in the morning, and then driving the beatup '57 Chevy pickup a short distance after lunch to fish the hot afternoons fishing Iron Creek Lake. Please click photos.
It is the best of two different fishing worlds: I fish a few hours for hot bass and Mirror Lake trout action near McNenny State Fish Hatchery west of Spearfish; the trout congregate in two deep holes in Mirror Lake, feeding aggressively in the deep natural artesian springs bubbling up water that rained down on earth over 500 years ago, now filtered throught the schist, shale, and clay to eventually form Red Water River.
SEAEAGLE – I am a shore fishing expert on Mirror Lake, but I knew there had to be a better way to land those largemouth bass lunkers lazing in the far reaches of the cattail bogs. I found the answer at the 2001 American Fishing Association ICAST show in Las Vegas.
The new inflatable SeaEagle catamaran canoe/kayak is slim, light, inexpensive and paddles with stealth. Bass see only a gray SeaEagle cloud gliding effortless overhead.
Bass, cattails, and a SeaEagle catamaran go together naturally. I can get in close to the cool cattail cover meeting the murky reed-free deeps. The big boys bask in the cattails, and then they dart out for juvenile sunfish and bluegill baitfish, before dashing back into their lair.
Cattails produce enormous amounts of oxygen during bright, sunny days, and bass love oxygenated protection, as do baitfish. Cattails reverse the oxygen generators at night or on cloudy days, devouring oxygen, driving bass and baitfish into deeper water.
Bass do not lurk under dead, decaying brown cattails, again because of hypoxia. They love O. I only cast upon green cattail cover where there is the most O. During heavy bloom. cattails produce alkaline mats, eating up the O, moving the bass out to deeper water. During cattail blooms I paddle my new SeaEagle to the trout springs on the other side of Mirror Lake.
BASS BAITING – I have used hoppers and flies to draw the bass out of their hideouts. I came across a unique Fly Trap fly case from Waterworks (800/435-9374) that clips anywhere on your clothing, even your pants. It comes with an unusual clipping feature that is easy to operate, and my flies are right where I need them. Waterworks also makes a nice, no-slip grip glove called the Fighter, offering UV protection in non-fish scaring, non-reflective colors.
If the bass are not fly happy, I have plenty of live grasshoppers i captured shore side. With a hopper on a Murad hook and a water bobber clenched 18 inches up the line, I cast onto the cattail cover to avoid baitfish gobblers, and the water bopper keeps the hopper from sinking. Jerking the rod tip slightly makes the bass explode, and I usually catch "keepers" on each cast
After the bass action drops off in the long hot afternoon, I paddle the SeaEagle to the trout springs on the far side of the lake, mirroring the red clay bluffs. Like loaves of strategically placed French rolls, the trout gulp artesian bubbles in their own private oxygen bar. They love O too. The more oxygen the more active the fishing.
KING HAWK – With my new, revolutionary gold OX-530 KingHawk, I reel effortlessly. I have never used such a smooth reel. I grew up with $5 reels that were always tangling. The premium priced KingHawk is manufactured with five ball bearings for a smooth, quiet and precise retrieve. There are six models in the KingHawk series, including saltwater rigs that are slightly heavier than the fresh water. Because the KingHawk is so light, I can feel every trout tug on the line with an unusual sensitivity. For more info on the KingHawk line email@example.com
Big black anvil thunderclouds often build up in the Black Hills in the late summer afternoons, hammering the hills with rain showers, bringing out the night crawlers, which trout love to gobble up. I recently acquired a Syclone flashlight from Streamlight.
The Syclone has many unique features, such as polycarbonate lens, and a spot-to-flood beam, and it fits handily in the hand, and in the tackle box. The 105 degree pivoting head is great, but what I really like is the back-up amber LED for night vision backyard crawler crawling. Then it is a worm blast with the 5,000 candlepower main Krypton beam. With a 72 hour run time, the Syclone lasts all summer.
I also use Streamlight's Stylus penlight for early morning map reading to find that Forest Service road that takes me to backcountry streams for first light flycastings.
BOMA GRILLING – Later, that night I open-fire grill my catch-of-the-day in my stainless steel South African boma cooker. I have never seen many of these Boma's around. It is a cylinder tube with a tenderbox in the side and a grill on top and is only one foot in grilling diameter. It does not take many coals to grill on a Boma. The sides heat up fast, and the fish or steaks grill in no time at all, and I can thow the 18-inch-long Boma in the back of the Chey with no cleaning so I can be off to the next angling hideout.

[Water] is the fundamental of the original soundscape and the sound which above all others gives us the most delight in its myriad transformations… filling an atavistic consciousness with the full-frequencied throb of water. All roads lead to water. Given the chance, probably all men would live at the edge of the element, within earshot of its moods night and day. We wander from it but the departure is temporary.

Sep 12, 2017
There's a general election in NZ on 23 September, and we've invited each of the four major political parties to chat social enterprise, community and engagement. This second episode with Chloe Swarbrick and Gareth Hughes from NZGreens.
These four shorter-form episodes publish daily 11th-14th September 2017. Our long-form '2 guests, brews and weeks' returns next week to the 'normal' fortnightly schedule and 'founder stories and journeys to now' content. Our purpose in producing this series is to 'be useful to building the social enterprise sector in New Zealand through meaningful dialogue with politicians'. We're under no illusions that what they say will bias your primary voting decisions, but we do hope this series is useful in learning more about where each party sees #SocEnt currently, and what intent and plans (if any) they have for the future.
two weeks in creative endeavour is an independent show (in all senses of the word). We have no affiliation with any of the politicians featured. Grateful thanks to them for giving valuable time to share their views in the digital. Episode recorded at BizDojo Wellington last month/Wednesday 16th August 2017.

Best Nashville Spots You've Never Heard Of
1. Miel
Located in the historic Johnson's Meat Market building off of Charlotte Avenue, Miel is a refreshing and delicious take on French style cuisine. This restaurant is one of my favorites and never disappoints when it comes to fresh and complex flavors. Whether a date night or a "treat yo self" happy hour, Miel's tranquil atmosphere provides an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
2. Mas Tacos
It is truly hard to find tacos in Nashville that compare to the ones you will find at Mas Tacos. This smaller-than-your-living-room space often has a line out the door and for good reason. With staples such as street corn and horchata, the tacos change from day to day offering a wide variety from shrimp to fried avocado. Authentic street food style fare is what you will find at this East Nashville staple.
3. Dino's
You don't get more East Nashville than Dino's. What I mean by this is until this place was revamped in 2015, it was full of smoke and locals who had been coming for years. (and I mean yeeeeears...) Under new management, the establishment has kept all of its original charm without the smoke, praise! What most people don't know is it's one of the best spots for a late night meal. Whether it's the best grilled cheese sandwich you've ever had or a Porter Road Butcher burger, your tastebuds will thank you.
4. Clawson's Deli
Clawson's considers themselves the "purveyors of first-rate sandwiches" and I have absolutely no room to argue. Nestled in the cozy neighborhood of Wedgewood Houston, this sandwich pub is always serving up the freshest ingredients alongside some of the best beers in town. Next time you're in the mood for an artisan sandwich made with the best that homemade can offer, head over to Clawson's and park yourself there for a good time.
5. Little Mosko's
This gem might be Nashville's best kept secret. Located in the lobby of the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, Little Mosko's serves up everything from the best avocado toast you'll have in your life to a pimento cheese sandwich that you'll want to write home about. Owner and head Chef Alex and his sidekick, Lauren Moskovitz, serve up some of the best made to order dishes at a reasonable price for the bright minds of Nashville. Their love and dedication to each other and their food is reflected in everything from homemade grits to gluten free chocolate chip cookies. Believe me when I tell you it's an absolute must for anyone who has not had the pleasure of enjoying some Little Mosko's fare.
Bar Spots
1. Bar Sovereign
Most people (tourists) would be shocked to find that there is a culture of some of the most sophisticated ,hip and trendy bars in Nashville, Tennessee. One bar in particular, Bar Sovereign, looks more like a rundown office building from the front then a trendy new hot spot. Don't be fooled by the walls that they got (J.Lo anyone?), Bar Sovereign is serving up some of the best cocktails in a eclectic environment that will elevate any post work drink meeting.
2. Buffalo Billiards
For the most die hard sports fans, Buffalo Billiards is one of the best places in town to catch a game. With an entire wall of flat screen TVs, this location is never packed and easy to show up mid game and get a seat with your pals, sipping on PBR. It is located on Broadway which gives you an endless amount of options when it's time to move on to the next spot. Often overlooked, it truly is a spot to be visited when thinking about your Saturday game-day plans.
3. Skulls Rainbow Room
Skulls Rainbow Room has seen the evolution of Nashville better than any other bar in town. Opened in 1948 by David "Skull" Shuleman, this bar has been everything from a jazz bar to a strip-tease. Nowadays, Skulls is home to a burlesque show that brings crowds off the streets of Broadway to a different time in our towns history. Delicious food and fantastic cocktails make it an unforgettable stop on Printers Alley.
4. Old Glory
This gem is new to the Nashville scene, having only opened earlier this year. Luckily for its patrons, owners Alexis and Britt Solar have kept its industrial charm of the old 1920s boiler room it used to be. Located in the rear alley of the Edgehill building, Old Glory is not marked by a sign but rather a very large gold triangle on the front door. It gives Nashville a much needed New York vibe while creating a comfortable and trendy space to enjoy cocktails and creative apps.
5. Greenhouse Bar
This outdoorsy location is exactly what one needs after a long day at the office. A far cry from the neon lights of Broadway, the Greenhouse Bar in housed inside an old greenhouse with plants and greenery at every turn. A delicious menu and fantastic cocktails, this is a spot that will accommodate everything from a cozy Tinder date to a birthday celebration with the gal pals.
Always Truthful,
Boozy Bridesmaid
Almost done…

Photographic Resources on the Web
Ten years ago digital photography was either too low quality to be considered a serious contender, or prohibitively expensive. The arrival of highly capable and affordable consumer digital systems has turned photography into a national pastime, and there are now many websites dedicated to the subject. Here are a few which I have found useful.
All Things Photography
- Tips, tutorials and articles on almost any aspect of photography you can think of.
Lomo Homes
- An active community of photographers who push the bounds of film and digital. Also offer a range of quirky film cameras.
Traveller Dave
is always adding more pictures of old commercial vehicles to this rather strange resource. His
Traveller Homes
site is an archive from the 80s until now of converted buses and trucks which people live in.
New Cameras, Lenses and Lighting
Calumet Photographic
Supplier to professional photographers. Shops (most in out-of-town locations) in 9 major UK cities. You can also order online or by phone. Very knowledgeable staff. Not the cheapest, but probably the best.
Park Cameras
Huge range of cameras and photographic equipment from amateur to professional. Competitive prices.
Cameras and Kit on a Tight Budget
Cheap can mean nasty. However, if you tread with care it can also be good value, and possibly the only viable option if your photography is a hobby.
Digital Rev's
prices are often significantly lower than on the high street or from UK web retailers. The service is reliable and stock is 'A grade', but your goods will probably ship from Hong Kong, so the instruction manual will not necessarily be in English. Good luck if it's something complicated!
is not somewhere I personally would spend serious money. However, they have on offer a huge range of older film camera equipment at really affordable prices, and lenses which can be optically superb, from about £15 upwards. For DSLR owners on a tight budget, adaptors are available for the older mounting systems such as the K-bayonet and M42. There's no autofocus or automatic control (so you'll need a light meter unless you are very good a guessing), but you get the possibility of great photos without the pain of splashing out on brand new glass.
Morgan Computers
have been knocking out end-of-line computers since before the ark. They have an eclectic and ever-changing range of 'last years' cameras from basic to mid range, and (occasionally) some semi-professional gems. They're also worth a look for printers or scanners. Watch out for 'B Grade' stock: it's been returned and repaired and has a shorter warranty, typically 3 months, so test it well before 3 months is up.

Over the past two decades the South African government and its citizens have implemented a number of initiatives that seek to improve citizen participation, accountability, innovation and transparency in government. The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a major international initiative launched in 20 September 2011 to which South Africa has made specific commitments, but is also an opportunity to showcase existing open government initiatives across the country and build momentum around open government activities in general. Over time we aim to build stronger links between existing initiatives and the OGP commitments.

Tow Car Editor
Practical Caravan reviews the Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI Scout, a capable estate with four-wheel drive that should perform well in our rigorous tow car test
Skoda has taken a leaf from Subaru's book to make the Octavia Scout. Just as the Outback is a Legacy on stilts, so the Scout is an Octavia Estate with a raised ride height and four-wheel drive.
This raised ride height and four-wheel drive work well if towing over rough ground, and it helped with the hill starts in wet weather. However, the handbrake needed a determined pull before it held the outfit on the 1-in-6 test hill.
With longer travel suspension, it's difficult to strike the right balance between comfort and control, yet Skoda has done a good job. While there's quite a lot of lean through bends, the car kept control over the caravan in our lane-change test, although the AL-KO ATC unit showed some very high G-forces.
In terms of space, the Octavia Scout fared well. There was room for all but one item of luggage – and it was good to see a 12V socket in the boot.
Technical specs
|1605 kg
|1364 kg
|Towball limit
|75 kg
|Maximum towing limit
|1600 kg
The Practical Caravan review team thought that this was a good value, capable tow car with the benefit of 4WD.
- Four-wheel drive is a boon
- There is a 12V socket in the boot
- It has a good sized boot
- Lean through curves when towing

Try as we might to find the silver bullet to improve our education systems I fear our efforts will be in vain unless we confront the real issues.
Currently the world looks to Finland, Singapore and Shanghai for the answer. In ten years time it will be another three countries but for now we blindly believe that these jurisdictions have the solution. Each proudly accepts visitors and enjoys the world's attention, but the solution is beyond simplistic answers such as a back-to-basics approach, funding, visible learning, or better teacher education.
My hypothesis: A country's educational performance is not a reflection of the quality of its education system but a reflection of its values and culture.
I have had the opportunity to visit the big three in educational standings: Finland, Shanghai and Singapore. I have listened to their students, their teachers and parents; visited schools and observed their societies (albeit briefly). My hypothesis is a deeply reflective hunch and would need considerable research to prove but I suspect I could be right. All three countries have vastly different cultures to our own here in Australia.
Shanghai and Singapore are not too dissimilar. Shanghai classrooms are packed, with students sitting in rows, reciting in unison instructions from the teacher. There is little sign of creativity, differentiation or individualisation. Classrooms are sparse; resources are limited.
So how is it Shanghai performs so well: a culture of sheer hard work. As a country China demands a work ethic second to none. Students and their families know that the only way to a better life, the only way to lift themselves out of poverty is to work as hard as they can.
Singapore is not that different. The classrooms are less sparse and less densely populated but they still achieve the results they do through hard work.
One Year 6 student in Singapore told me that she starts school at 8am and finishes at 3:30pm. She then goes to tutoring for another three to four hours (everyday). She has homework from school and her tutor. Study doesn't finish until late at night. The children know that if their grades aren't good enough they will be taken out of the academic stream and put into a vocational program.
Finland's culture is very different, but again vastly different to our own in Australia (and at this point you could insert the UK or the USA). Their schools are surprisingly poorly resourced by our standards. Students actually receive far less instructional time and have less homework. So how is it that they have an educational system that has been outperforming most other developed nations? The country has a culture that respects teachers and values children and learning, and more importantly, a culture of trust.
The teaching profession in Finland has a high status, and it's not because of the money, but because of the value the Finnish people put on raising their children. Teacher preparation is good but even Pasi Sahlberg states that the quality of an education system can exceed the quality of teachers.
Finland is a country with high levels of trust in its people. For example, to the unaccustomed visitor it appears that the public transport runs on an honesty system. You need to buy a ticket to travel but there are no electronic gates you put your ticket into before going on the subway, no one on the trains checking if you have paid, and no security as you disembark.
From my fifth floor hotel room I spent time watching a busker. A man who had built an intriguing instrument out of bottles. When he wanted a break he left his tin money out in the open and went to buy lunch. No one stole from him.
The same level of trust is afforded to schools and teachers in Finland. There are no inspections of schools, no evaluation of teachers and no standardised tests with publicised results. Finland knows that people perform better when they are trusted, for as a result they feel empowered, valued and in control of their own life choices and consequences.
Contrast these three countries cultures with our own. In 2003 when PISA was first administered Australia performed near the top of the OECD countries. However, since then our standing has taken a remarkable turn. We speak of our education system as though somehow it's the schools' or teachers' fault that standards have taken a turn. But since 2003 not a lot has changed in our schools but in contrast, our society has.
9/11 and the Bali bombings in 2002 were turning points. Since those tragic events we have become less trusting and more suspicious and fearful. The war on terror hasn't seen victory.
Technology has become ubiquitous, transforming every facet of our lives.
Our concept of respect has been eroded, influenced by the media who cruelly attack our leaders and public figures at every turn under the guise of freedom of speech. No sooner we vote in governments then we want them ousted.
I would also argue that the 'golden' economic years in Australia (2001-2007) created a spoilt generation who have a materialistic and entitlement belief rather than a hard worth ethic and an inner peace and happiness for what they do have. I have seen this attitude pervade our students as they carry around the latest iPhone and want to be spoon feed the information they need to pass the assessment rather than expressing a sheer joy and privilege for learning.
We value economic growth above all else, even above our children. Education is no longer about enriching our humanity, but about ensuring our long-term economic viability as a nation.
Policy has commodified the heart of education (the relationships that make schools work) by increasing the accountability and scrutiny of schools (MySchool) and as a result, has undermined trust and done damage to the key relationships between teachers and students.
It is our culture that has caused the demise of our academic standards. Does this mean that we shouldn't bother with working to lift the quality of teaching and our schools: of course not. But as Peter Drucker's adage goes, we need to recognise that 'culture eats strategy for breakfast'. Society's problems, issues, norms, and values (i.e. culture) are our responsibility. We are all responsible for what society is like, and for raising and educating the next generation.

Electric Central Heating Boilers
Electric Central Heating Boilers designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom
Due to the recent changes in legislation concerning flues and high efficiency boilers that often require a new gas supply pipe, Electric boilers provide a cost effective solution.
In the first instance we will always carry out a property survey to exhaust every potential solution to see if it is possible to install a gas boiler. Often in Tower blocks where the cost of adding a scaffold to the property (or even using and "absailer") is not cost effective, an Electric boiler offers a viable long term solution.
Electric boiler technology is no longer a small niche industry but rather a growing competitive market where the technology has been developed so that Electric boilers* are now as reliable as Gas Boilers
(*when installed correctly to manufacturers)
Electric boilers with built in hot water operate in the same way a gas boiler operates, other than they use electricity to generate heat instead of gas.
Types of Electric Boiler – which is best for you ?
Electric Combination Boiler – Heatre Sadia Electromax
The Most popular UK Electric Boiler is the Electromax manufactured in the UK by Heatre Sadia Limited, this boiler provides central heating to radiators and High Pressure* hot water.
*Customer requires a min of 1.5bar water pressure & 20 litres per min flow rate
The dimensions of the Electromax are
1480mm high x 550mm wide x 605mm deep
The built-in internal unvented hot water contains 180 litres of hot water stored at mains pressure, if installed to manufactures requirements the cylinder will easily supply enough hot water to several simultaneous showers without loss of flow rate, assuming the customers internal pipe work has been installed correctly.
The Electromax range includes a range of boilers specially designed to be installed and connected to homes that only have under-floor heating, no radiators.
Heating only Boiler – Heatre Sadia Amptec
Heatre Sadia Amptc boilers are really versatile, as they are small and powerful. Several boilers can be linked together to create a larger more powerful boiler, the manufacture has created special kits and wiring looms to ensure that when the boilers are installed like this, rather than operate as individual boilers, they all work together efficiently as one boiler.
The next step – Call us now 0208 829 8244
Book in our expert Ian Puddick to carry out a free survey, Ian will carry out the necessary tests and will discuss the best and cost effective heating solution.
You will be in good hands; Ian has been an expert adviser to BBC Rogue Traders, Channel 4 and ITV.
Important Facts
Water Pressure – this is the pressure/force of the water
Flow Rate – this is the volume of water flowing out of the cold water main taps (assuming the incoming stopcock is fully open).
No boiler whether gas or electric will improve water pressure or flow rate, its simple physics, what goes into the boiler, comes out of the boiler. See picture below
If you would like to operate 2 showers or hot water taps simultaneously – you must have a min water pressure of 1.5bar and even more important a min of 20 litres per minute.
Get this wrong and your shower pressure will fluctuate* when someone else washes up, flushes the loo or puts a washing machine on!
*if you have a non-thermostatic shower, it's possible the temperature will fluctuate.

The majority of our packages are three or four days in duration, however we have found that a large number of our guests, particularly those arriving from outside of Europe, would like to visit more than one region on a single holiday. And discovering a larger number of destinations and tasting a wider variety of wines across one single trip sounds perfect to us! The team at Grape Escapes have travelled extensively in Europe, not just in the wine regions and can therefore recommend and arrange tailor-made tour extensions to other regions / cities, for example Paris in France or Bilbao in Spain.
Our three and four day tours (in particular our Essential and Exclusive Breaks) can easily be combined for a longer trip, however to provide inspiration, we have put together a number of Multi-Region wine tours to regions that marry together perfectly, both oenologically and logistically! Either a hire car or travel by rail / flights between destinations will always be included.
If you cannot find the Multi-Region Break that you are looking for on our web site, please don't hesitate to contact us by telephone on +44 (0) 1920 46 86 66 or e-mail at email@example.com, and a bespoke itinerary can be created to perfectly suit your requirements.
"It's been an absolute pleasure dealing with Grape Escapes, not only very helpful and informative, you have really and truly taken the stress away from this getaway. Thank you!"

It wasn't all reporting on dead presidents and calling out the bullshit of elected officials for Walter Cronkite, who died this past Friday at the age of 92. Cronkite also did a fun little report on "Tron" back in 1982 and took a look at the way computer graphics were built into films and used to create a world and a story that couldn't be done using conventional sets and practical effects. It's neat that this story does focus on the emergence of computer generated images in cinema and attempting to predict their future prevalence. I can't help but wonder if "Tron" will once again push the technology further when the sequel hits in 2011.
Hit the jump to check out the full video. Hat tip to "Trick 'r Treat" writer/director Mike Dougherty and his twitter feed for the heads up.

Norman's Keester family won a new Thunderground Storm Shelter, you could win now!
(Norman, Ok) Pam Keester and her husband Don from Norman, Oklahoma won an underground tornado shelter from Thunderground Storm Shelters and NewsChannel 4. Keester has been trying every weeknight to win the shelter and finally won Tuesday night.
"Sitting in a closet with my husband and our dog just doesn't feel as safe as a tornado shelter will," said Keester. She's lived in several states from New York to New Mexico but believes our weather in Oklahoma is the wildest she's ever seen.
She was thrilled to have won the underground shelter because she's been trying all month long to win.
Her persistence finally paid off.

Warehouse have a fantastic new range of coats that I've been drooling over. From duffel coats to blazers to leather jackets....their selection goes on and on! Here are a few of my favourite ones that I've currently got my eye on...
Autumn coats from Warehouse by peanuts-pearls featuring a cocoon coat
~ a quilted waxed belted coat retailing at £85.00
~ this cropped blazer at only £45.00
~ another blazer, this time with an animal print retailing at £50.00
~ a dark red ovoid coat at £85.00
~ a classic quilted faux fur parka at £80.00
For now I'll keep looking at what other high street shops have to offer, but this certainly is a fantastic start to my search for a perfect autumn / winter coat!

This episode of #GoodToKnow is brought to you by my new favorite saying; On fleek.
It started on Instagram when a friend from NYC commented that my brow game was "on fleek". It matters that she works for Shobha which is where everyone (read: fashion editors, celebs, housewives, anyone with a job ok everyone) goes for meticulous brow grooming and such. Soooooo. Seeing how I'm doing my own brows now, and not nearly as well as Shashi from Shobha used to do them, I worried. Did she just insult me and my DIY-brows? Were we gonna have to break up as friends? I asked… and she explained the good news. To be on fleek means to be on point, i.e. the game is strong. SWEET.
Also, turns out that having my #browsonfleek is an especially good thing that isn't entirely new. Gotta love learning from Instagram!
Next up, I was talking about boys (this happens a lot) and I heard the term Lumbersexual. Wait. WHAT?! Mmmmhmmm.
As you hear in the video, I'm ready to talk more about Retrosexuals please and thank you. Chat me up on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with your thoughts on the matter. Be sure to tag #StatesmanSocial to be heard.
Finally, I'm asking you all to join me in supporting everyone who is #SelfieConscious and encouraging them to be both bold AND silly enough to snap-n-post a selfie in Public. Be sure to tag #StatesmanSocial so I can celebrate these successes with y'all! (Oh and, Evan-who-filmed-and-edited-this-very-video above; we're all waaaaaiting…. Please share your beautiful face with the world.)
Bye Feliciaaaaaaaa!

New Danish Chill Fidelity E50 Bluetooth Stereo speaker with good sound and exciting round design!
Danish Chill Innovation has launched a new wireless stereo Bluetooth speaker in a modern and stylish round black or white design.
The Chill Fidelity E50 Bluetooth Speaker with its distinctive metal front is equipped with two powerful 52mm Neodym Long-Throw Stereo Speakers and a powerful Passive Bass Radiator in the front.
Together with an efficient Class D amplifier, you will get a well-balanced sound, rich bass and a notably solid sound level.
Despite its relatively modest 20cm diameter size, an advanced 360° DSP (Digital Signal Processor) utilizes the surroundings, so that the speaker fills the room and thus sounds larger than its physical size. On newer TVs with Bluetooth audio support, you can also upgrade the TV sound significantly with the Chill Fidelity speaker.
Round Chill wireless Bluetooth Speaker with long operating time and range
The round Chill Fidelity E50 bluetooth speaker has also been equipped with a TF/Micro SD card reader, so you can play MP3 music files from here without being connected to Smartphone / PC / Internet.
The Chill Fidelity E50 Bluetooth 4.2+EDR Speaker features a powerful built-in rechargeable 4000mAh Dual Li-ion battery that can deliver up to 20 hours of non-stop music.
On iPhone / iPad (and many newer Android devices / versions), you can also monitor the speaker battery capacity at the top. When it's time for charging, the speaker simply connects to a regular USB power source (USB charger, USB PowerBank, PC etc.). The loudspeaker can also be used with a fixed power connection.
The Chill Fidelity E50 speaker is available in both white and black color. It lifts the bar for sound quality and sound pressure at an attractive pricelevel, compared to the many small bluetooth speakers with indifferent dazzle sound and inadequate bass that's on the market today.
So enjoy the stylish wireless speaker design and just put your favorite music on and Chill...

A/C Unit ProblemA\C unit overheated and shut down after running for aproximately 30 min. After visual inspection from ground level maintenance was unable to pin-point trouble.
A decision was made to use infrared thermography to determine the reason for overheating.
After taking a thermal image of the A\C unit, it was determined that there was excessive heat build-up at the connection of the HI pressure line to the condenser. This in turn created excessive pressure in the compressor causing the overtemp switch to kick off. Visual inspection verified there was a crushed HI pressure tube at the condenser.
Repair: Evacuated A\C system and replaced HI pressure line from Condenser to Compressor, recharged system with 6.50 LBS of Freon 22.
Total Parts & Labor: $890
Buss AssemblyFURNACE BUSS ASSEMBLY IN MAIN TRANSFORMER VAULT WHERE IT CONNECTS TO TRANSFORMER.
The thermogram shows a hot spot on the third bar from the where the buss bars connect to the transformer. If you notice there is a discoloration of this bar compared to the others possibly caused by the higher temperatures.
Down time cost on this furnace runs about $5,000 dollars an hour. If the buss bar were to blow, the turn around time on repairs usually runs any where from 24 to 36 hours. So just for the furnace downtime not counting parts and labor it would run around $120,000 to $180,000 dollars.
Acid Tank LevelsInfrared Thermography is a SAFE and effective way to verify, or check acid tank levels. Infrared can also be used on various other liquid, and solids tanks.
Currently the practice would be to have an operator manually go out and place a wooden stick in the tanks' to verify or check tank levels. The instrumentation department was also glad to see this capability to aid them in trouble-shooting problems with their level transmitters.
The time saving and safety aspects of doing thermography on just Acid tanks was estimated at 1000 man-hours a year and immeasurable safety gains.
