Paving slabs are to be invisibly marked by a council to deter thieves from stealing York stone. Leeds City Council said in 2015 it had had to replace £50,000 worth of the stone in a year.
It has started to spray traceable liquid over the slabs so paving stones if found can be checked to see if they are stolen.
Councillor Richard Lewis said the council was "losing a huge number of slabs".
York stone is a textured stone quarried in Yorkshire and features in much of the paving in the older parts of the city.
It is common in Armley, Beeston, Burley, Chapel Allerton, Gledhow, Harehills, Headingley, Pudsey and Roundhay.
Mr Lewis said: "Whatever you have in the public domain - if it has a value to it - you have people trying to steal it."
The council had about 520 reports of missing or stolen paving in 2015-16.
The forensic traceable liquid called SmartWater is almost invisible to the naked eye and each solution has its own code identifying its origin.
The first year of a rolling programme to spray the city's paving will cost about £10,000, the council said.
Mr Lewis added that the council "had to do something" and hoped criminals would realise Leeds was a "no-go area" for paving theft.

Going Native In Murcia (3rd Edition): All You Need To Know About Visiting, Living and Home Buying in Murcia and Spain's Costa Calida
EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE MURCIA REGION! Full of useful tips straight from a British couple who now call this region their home. Let Debbie and Marcus be your guides as they share their love for Murcia, its people and its surrounds with intimate details, personal stories and hot tips for visitors, home buyers and new natives alike. This third edition has been carefully revised and is packed full of 300% more information including all town guides and selected maps. Going Native in Murcia – the most comprehensive guide in print – is now even better.
- Comprehensive town and city guide with map
- The best places to eat, drink and have fun
- Where to find the best beaches
- Fun stuff to do from hiking to golf and scuba to horseriding
- All about the food, wines and tapas of the region
- Party all year round with the detailed fiesta finder
- How to get all the home comforts (without the rubbish weather)
- Tips for dog and cat owners
- Natives share their stories
- Dealing with builders, DIY and gardening
- Coping with home sickness
This third edition has been carefully revised and is packed full of extra information. Going Native in Murcia – the most comprehensive guide in print – is now even better.
This book has taken 9 years to research and has been a real pleasure, taking us around the whole region that we now like to call our home. The first edition came out in May 2005, when we had to force ourselves to stop adding information and get the book out there! This third edition for 2012 has been fully revised and updated and includes maps, 300% more information, data on every town in the region, a list of the golf courses, the new airport details, what's happening at Paramount, plus loads more…
The book was borne out of the frustration of none of the major guides covering the region, or at best only dedicating 4 or 5 pages to it. When they did mention Murcia they focused entirely on the golf complexes and housing estates. In fact, the only guides we could find that covered the Murcia region in any detail were in Spanish, interspersing flowery language with inaccurate information. So we felt it was time for someone to put this major region firmly on the map.
Murcia is a beauty, with warm and welcoming people, a strong property market, wonderful food and fantastic weather. Our goal for you as you read this book is that you'll be able to enjoy visiting this region in all its glory – with us as your equally wide-eyed guides. If you're thinking of investing here or even making this region your new home then the sections on buying and visiting will tell you all you need to know.

Depeche Mode are back, releasing their 14th studio album which the British synth-pop musicians describe as "bleak".
The Syrian conflict and rise of nationalism in Europe are cited by the band as inspiration for their songs on "Spirit".
"I think it is a quite bleak album, it doesn't view humanity very kindly but … by calling it 'Spirit', maybe that helps to get us back on the right path," guitarist and keyboardist Martin Gore told Reuters in an interview, reports Reuters.
"We knew it was a little bit dangerous to make an album that could be construed as being political but we felt that it was necessary in these times."
The group, which was formed in the 1980s, premiered their latest work at a Berlin concert on Friday night.
The first single "Where's the Revolution?" was inspired in 2015.
"The world was not as bad as it is today but there were a lot of things going on, one of the big things for me was Syria, maybe it's got worse but it was awful back then," Gore said.
"Nationalism is popular again… Remember the last time we saw nationalism before the Second World War, and there's potential for some really bad things to happen," keyboardist Andrew Fletcher said, adding the group were "not known for making political statements."

As I've mentioned before, my saga to relieve my dry, itchy scalp continues. For some background, I think after a few too many misadventures with reviewing shampoos, my scalp decided to just rebel and now I'm super cautious about what I use. To counteract the incessant itching and flaking, I've tried a few different oils, but nothing seemed to work - nothing that is until I tried Lush's Superbalm.
This thick all natural paste is specifically designed to relief and repair flaking, itchy scalp:
- Coconut oil - a natural emollient that deeply nourishes skin and can relieve psoriasis and excema
- Candelilla wax - another natural emollient that's often used as a substitute for beeswax in vegan products
- Salicylic acid - an exfoliant that helps encourage your scalp to shed buildup that causes scalp irritation
- Rose wax - an emollient
- Rose, chamomile and lavender oils - help soothe and calm irritation
Like all Lush products, Superbalm has a strong fragrance. While some reviewers were turned off by Superbalm's scent, I personally loved it. Superbalm smells like a mix of menthol, coconut oil and something almost medicinal, which really appeals to me as I find medicinal scents relaxing.
The balm itself is housed in a cute 45 g tin that retails for $23.95 at any Lush store. It's a thick, pale green balm, with a texture similar to hair pomade. To use, simply scoop out a bit at a time and massage it directly into your scalp; wait 20 minutes and then wash it out.
The trickiest part of using Superbalm is knowing how much to use. After reading through the reviews, it's pretty common to over-apply and end up with super greasy strands; since you typically use this pre-shower though, that's not a big problem. I like to scoop out very little at a time, just slightly covering the pads of my fingers with product, and applying it a bit at a time wherever my scalp is irritated.
I usually apply Superbalm before I shower, or if I plan to shower in the morning, then I'll wear it overnight. I've even taken to applying it during the day if I'm feeling particularly itchy and it helps a lot to keep my scalp comfortable.
Immediately after applying, it feels like my scalp just breathes a sigh of relief. My head just feels so relaxed and I have no nagging feeling of itchiness like I normally do. Yes, it is a bit of a pain to wash this stuff out and if I don't wash my hair for a couple days then the itchiness returns full force, but based on my experiences so far, this is the closest to actual relief I've gotten yet. I'll definitely be repurchasing this again and again!
Final Verdict
Buy - a powerful balm that instantly reliefs dry, itchy scalp. Must have!
Never miss out

Ferrite magnets are a large class of magnets that include chemical compounds such as hematite (Fe2
The first magnets that people are exposed to are usually ferrite magnets, as they are the cheapest and most common. Children are often given toys made up of iron filings that can be moved around with this type of magnet — usually magnetite. If the magnet is placed on the filings, the resulting pattern they are pulled into reveals the shape of the magnetic field. The Earth itself produces a similar magnetic field, though trillions of times larger and about 10,000 times weaker.
Ferrite magnets, also known as ferromagnetic materials, are generally classified into two categories based on their magnetic coercivity, or persistence of internal magnetism: soft ferrites and hard ferrites. These categorizations do not refer to the actual hardness of the magnets — both types are brittle ceramics — but rather their coercive force. Depending on whether a magnet is soft or hard, it may have different applications. For instance, a hard magnet might be used in a radio or a hard disk, while a soft one could be used as a transformer core or an electromagnet core.
The strength of a ferrite magnet, like any other magnet, can be measured in teslas. One tesla represents one weber per square meter, with a weber being a unit of magnetic flux such that it would produce one volt of electricity if reduced to zero in one second. Here are some examples, starting with the weaker magnetic fields and moving to stronger:

DHCP: Properties and purposes
DHCP is the abbreviation of "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol". DHCP is a protocol which allows the server to allocate an IP Address to every client or computer on the network automatically. This means that whenever a computer joins a DHCP server, it will automatically be given an IP address. There is a lot more information which a DHCP server can provide to the client depending on the requirement of the situation. Nowadays, most of the devices are configured in a way that they automatically search for a DHCP server and asks it to allocate an IP address to it automatically. In this section we will be discussing the main purposes of DHCP as well as some technical properties associated with it. It is important to know that this process makes use of a coherent process to ensure that there is no overlapping of IP Addresses and the network runs smoothly. The main properties which we will be dealing with include Static IP Addressing, Dynamic IP Addressing, Reservations, Scopes, Leases and Options. It is interesting to know how most of the components of DHCP function collaboratively to make the system flawless.
Static vs. Dynamic IP Addressing
There are generally two ways in which DHCP servers hold the ability to allocate IP Addresses to the devices. Either they can allocate them Static IP addresses or they can provide them with Dynamic IP Addresses. The choice of the type of IP Addressing depends on the need of the situation and the type of the device under consideration. Below, you will find the details relating to both of these types of IP Addressing and you will also encounter their main uses and benefits in different situations.
According to the general method used by the DHCP, every client is allocated an IP Address automatically when it logs on to the system. However, it is important to know that these clients are allocated with a different IP Address every time they join the network. In fact, many of the computers come configured as such that they automatically ask a DHCP server to allocate them an IP Address every time they join the network. This type of IP Addressing in which the IP Address allocated to the device varies every single time is known as Dynamic IP Addressing. This type of IP Addressing is quite suitable with computers or related devices which are not quite important entities in the flow of the network and there is no problem with allocating them with Dynamic IP Addresses. Not only does it increase the accuracy of the whole process, it saves the administrators from a lot of manual effort which they might have to do.
However, devices such as servers, printer and router interfaces are quite important and it is essential that they are allocated with a fixed IP Address. This allocation of fixed IP Addresses is referred to as Static IP Addressing. This type of IP Addressing ensures that all the important and integral devices in the network have fixed IP addresses in order to avoid any problem which might occur with these devices, such as overlapping of IP Addresses. This is the reason why DHCP servers are manually allocated with fixed IP Addresses so that the whole system does not collapse due to a small issue. While the computers can bear the risk of having any related problem, servers need to be protected in every possible way to prevent the whole network from collapsing.
The allocation of static addresses to clients, servers or printers poses a problem to the whole system of DHCP. Static IP Addressing would mean that the administrator has made certain changes to the network which the DHCP server records do not recognize. In order to avoid this issue and bring all of the records on the same page, the process of Reservation has been introduced. It is a very useful and important process which makes a lot of processes simpler and more efficient.
Reservation means that the DHCP will "reserve" a particular IP Addresses for some devices. This means that every time these devices connect to the network, they will connect using the IP Addresses which have been stored for them in the DHCP server. This is done by storing their IP Address in correspondence to their MAC address, which will always remain fixed. The process of reservation is best for devices such as servers and printers on the network that required a fixed IP Address every time they connect to the network. This process will let all the control to come under the system of DHCP which will add up to the accuracy and efficiency of the system. Since no records will be manually entered into the system in this case, the whole process will become fast and more accurate due to better synchronization. In addition to this, the reserved clients will not be bound by the any time limit for which they will hold their fixed IP Address. This is because they already have a fixed IP Address in store for them so they do not have to apply again and again to renew their lease or extend their period for holding the IP Address.
In fact, the process of reservation has made a lot of things much simpler and manageable. If the system is maintained in an appropriate manner, you will surely have no problem with it. In addition to this, the amount of hard work which it saves the administrator from is also laudable.
Have you ever wondered that how do DHCP servers determine which IP Addresses are supposed to be allocated to the clients? Is the process completely random or are there still any limitations? Well, considering the complexity of various networks and the existence of colossal number of devices all over the world, the IP Addresses have to be managed in an effective way. This is the reason why the process of allocation of IP Addresses is not a totally random process. There are ranges of IP Addresses which are allocated to different organizations. It is the strict responsibility of this organization to make sure that it allocates its clients with IP Addresses from this range. For your ease, this range is given a special name, known as Scope. The scope of an organization limits the number of IP Addresses which it can provide the clients with. This not only eliminates a lot of problems, it provides a great benefit to manage and operate the whole system in an effective and efficient manner.
The size of the Scopes depends on the size of the networks for which they are assigned. For a large network, the scope will be large while for a small network the scope will also be less. The basic purpose behind the allocation of these scopes is to make sure that there is not overlapping of IP Addresses and every device is strictly allocated with a different IP Address. The problems which might occur without the existence of scopes are colossal, as in that case the IP Addresses will be duplicated and the data will not be able to find the correct path to its destination. The process of DHCP is quite useful for us, and we should us it effectively to make sure we do not encounter any issue. The process of configuration of scopes on DHCP servers is a complex task, which you will get to know at a later stage.
When a client joins a DHCP server, it is not allocated with an IP Address forever. In fact, there is a fixed duration for which that IP Address is provided to the client. Thus, the IP Address should be renewed before this duration expires. This fixed duration which is provided by the DHCP server to the client is referred to as a Lease. This lease can be thought of as a fixed contract which the DHCP makes with the client. If the client fails to renew the lease agreement before the lease has expired, he will not be able to connect to the network anymore. This strict policy has been set to make sure that everyone who has got a lease renews it on time to ensure the smooth running and efficient performance of the whole system.
It is essential to make sure that the Lease is renewed before expiry. Generally, the lease given to the clients is of 8 days. The clients, to remain on the safe side, make a request for the renewal of the lease on the 4th day so that they are not even near to the time of expiry. However, the records of the client are held in the database even one day after the data of expiry. This is done to provide a relaxation to the client who might not have been able to renew the lease due to a serious issue. You should keep in mind that the lease time depends on the size of the network. If the size of the network is large and you have to go about a number of IP Addresses, then it is logical to provide more lease time. However, if the size of network is relatively small, you should consider reducing the lease time. This process is extremely important and essential to ensure that the IP Address of each device is changed and updated on a regular basis. It is the responsibility of the client to apply for lease renewals every time.
Options (DNS Servers, suffixes)
Till now, we have basically focused on the main use of DHCP which is related to the allocation of IP Addresses to the clients and other devices. However, you are not yet familiar with many other facilities and features which the DHCP server tends to provide you with. Yes, a DHCP server is much more than a system which allocated IP Address to the devices. A DHCP server can provide you a lot of other information related to that network and its entities. Just to mention one, the DHCP server provides you the addresses of DNS servers in the network. In addition to this, it also provides the clients with the address of the main gateway which could enable them to gain access to other networks. All of these facilities are provided for the benefit of the client and to ensure that you can get all the useful information which could help you to a great extent.
Not only do you get a lot of information, you can also access a lot of settings which you can do on your system. All of this information and settings are available to you in the scope Options of DHCP servers. You can find out the most relevant information which you will need and you can use to perform your task. These extra options let the DHCP servers to stand out and provide you with an exceptionally well service. You can think of DHCP servers as a service provider which makes your work easy through its main service, but then also provides many extra features to enrich your experience and make sure that you get the best out of it.
In this chapter, we have dealt with the topic of DHCP in detail. We know that DHCP servers are very important for the automatic allocation of IP Addresses. However, we also came to know how this process can be made better to increase the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the whole system. The concept of reservation has been introduced to let you know how the problem relating to static IP Addresses can be catered and how all of the addresses can be brought under the category of DHCP servers. The concept of scopes has been defined to let you know that the process of allocation of IP Addresses is not completely random. In fact, there is a set of IP addresses from which each server should choose to allocate the clients on the network. All of these processes are in place to ensure that the process of IP Address allocation is impeccable and this great system works as efficiently as possible.

Oscar Party to Benefit Low-Income Mexicans
By Fredric Dannen
When the first Academy Awards ceremony was held in May 1929, the presentation took place at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in the form of a party for about 270 invited guests. This year, when the Oscar statuettes are handed out, a worldwide television audience of between 30 and 40 million is likely to be watching. For those viewers who long for the party atmosphere of the inaugural ceremony, there are, in many cities, gatherings of people at restaurants and hotels on Oscar night. In San Miguel, the most popular and festive of these Oscar parties also benefits a nonprofit organization that helps low-income Mexicans.
This year's Oscar party will be held at La Chopería, Canal 21, on Sunday, February 22, beginning with the red carpet ceremony at 6pm and continuing until the final award is presented for Best Picture, usually around 11pm—though revelers have been known to linger well past midnight. The 150-peso admission price includes a drink and appetizers. While there is no dress code, partygoers are encouraged to dress up. The party will feature an emcee, door prizes, and activities, including (if you are so inclined) the opportunity to be photographed holding a replica of an Oscar statuette. There will be multiple screens carrying the awards program live.
The nonprofit organization sponsoring the party, Apoyo a Gente Emprendedora, A.C., was founded in 2003 by Ezequiel Mojica to help redress the cycle of poverty in rural Mexico. Apoyo, says board member and project coordinator, Daniela Franco Gage, "is not a charity organization, but rather an educational one. Apoyo helps people get out of debt and become financially independent." Though Apoyo does offer micro financing (small interest-free loans); the repayment rate is nearly 90 percent. More important is the training and mentoring that Apoyo provides. The organization works in over two dozen rural communities in the state of Guanajuato and low-income neighborhoods in San Miguel, where Apoyo is based.
In little more than a decade, Apoyo has helped to start and sustain literally hundreds of businesses. The organization has three primary programs: the micro lending and training program, a curriculum to prepare high school students to enter the workforce, and a course to teach financial literacy to grade school children. The third program, called Impulso (momentum), was launched two years ago in seven rural schools. Franco, who oversees the program, says that studies show that children imbued with financial intelligence are far more likely to grow into fiscally responsible and solvent adults. The curriculum begins in the first grade with a 12-hour course and is bolstered by refresher courses through the sixth grade. "Whenever we take on a new school," Franco says, "it's a six-year commitment." The current enrollment, about 200 students, is expected to nearly double by next year. The proceeds of the Oscar party will directly fund Impulso, which has attracted the interest of rural communities in which the program is not yet offered. "Our goal is to be in more schools, and reach more children," Franco says.

We like to recommend facials every two to four weeks, but we realize that facials are a luxury treatment and many people (including us) can't always afford them as often as we would like to.
On a recent visit to one of our favorite spas, the marketing Pro was treated to a wonderful 75 minute facial which included the Clarisonic®, an award-winning sonic skin cleansing system. For those of you who haven't heard of the Clarisonic (um, do you live in a cave?), here is some background information on one of the latest cleansing tools for both face and body.
Clarisonic was developed by the same creators of the Sonicare® toothbrush. The waterproof, handheld unit has a soft, gentle brush which oscillates back and forth more than 300 times per second.
Clarisonic is proven to remove 6 times more makeup and 2 times more dirt and oil than manual cleansing. Cleansing this well allows the skin to better absorb skin care products, thus using less and seeing greater results from all those age-defying, youth-enhancing, line-eliminating potions we buy by the gallon.
Dermatologists, Spas and Aestheticians are making the Clarisonic part of their treatments and highly recommend the purchase of a home unit for both face care and now, body care. It effectively cleans without abrasion or harsh chemicals and is gentle for all skin types. Various brush heads are available.
So…. back to my facial:
As quiet Asian-inspired music played, flames from the aromatherapy candles burned and fountains trickled delicately, I relaxed on the luxurious facial table. My aesthetician, Sharone, asked me about my skin type and sensitivity to aromatics and plants and I grimaced to think that my brows probably needed a "tune-up" and "how many extractions is she going to do?"
Sharone gave me the Purifying and Cleansing Facial. This was the recommendation from the spa director, whom I met at a gala. At the event, we began talking the "biz", beauty that is and she asked if I had the opportunity to use the Clarisonic yet. Since I had not, she immediately handed me her card and said "call me!" Barbara Echols is extremely proud of her staff and service at Avia Spa in Santa Barbara. And I couldn't agree more!! www.aviaspa.com
This particular facial was 75 minutes and included the following products, as well as a Clarisonic treatment to both my face and décolleté. Sharone is particularly fond of Sundari skincare. Sundari embodies the principles of Ayurveda by containing the purest botanicals and advocating a methodology that seeks to establish ones holistic balance. Sundari focuses on the three skin types, and the products are formulated to address each specific type: Vata is for dry skin, Kapha is for oily skin, and Pitta is for combination skin. www.sundari.com
Products used in my facial were:
Cleanser: Gentle Gel, Neem & Burdock
Exfoliant: Honey Enzyme
Toner: Neem & Aloe Vera
Mask: Neem & Green Tea
Serum/Booster: Essential oil for Normal/Combination
Moisturizer: Neem & Avocado
Eye Cream: Neem & Chamomile Eye Oil
Lip Balm: Omega3 & Mandarine
Body Moisturizer: Gotu Kola & Lotus
My skin felt revitalized and smooth. My sensitive skin left Avia feeling refreshed. I am very pleased with the Sundari line and have started to use the Chamomile Eye Oil regularly. As for the Clarisonic: well, let's just say I couldn't have whipped out my credit card fast enough! The Clarisonic Plus Kit includes:
Cordless Clarisonic PLUS
Universal Charging Cradle (100v-240v AC; 50/60 Hz)
Sensitive Brush Head
Spot Therapy Brush Head
1 oz. trial sizes of Refreshing Gel Cleanser, Gentle Hydro Cleanser and Nourishing Care Cleanser
2 oz. trial size Refining Skin Polish
The Plus Kit runs a little over $200 depending on where you purchase (it is available at many retailers, including QVC and Clarisonic's own website.) This is a great tool for home use and in these times of tightening our budgets, IMPO Pros think the Clarisonic is a sound investment!

We also highly recommend this product for teens; this patented technology gently removes stubborn dirt and oil on a teens' skin and is convenient to use. One charge will last 30 uses. The unit is waterproof and may be stored and used in the shower. The handheld unit also guides the user with a beep to indicate movement to the next quadrant of the face.
I guess you could say IMPO is in love...again!
Let's do a little math shall we...
Jane gets a facial twice a month (cause the Pro said so and she doesn't tell Dick) which costs her anywhere from $75 to $200 per month. Jane recently lost her job. Now, boys and girls how much does Jane spend a year on treatment? IMPO by no means thinks that using a Clarisonic will replace the luxury and self-indulgence of an aesthetician's touch. However, perhaps you (and Jane) can't go as often as you used to for whatever reason (be it job loss or grumpy husband who has found your credit card statement) so at least your skin won't suffer the consequences of the credit crunch!
Up next on IMPO: Are you...special? Of course you are because you read IMPO! Our Pros tell you all about speciality products that are fun, fabulous and fantastic! What exactly is a speciality product? Guess you will have to tune in next time to find out...(insert dramatic music here)!

There are days where it sweeps over me like the fog that rolls over the hills in San Francisco slowly devouring the landscape. Gratitude. It should be a positive feeling – but at times for me it's a heavy feeling. It's so heavy that it pushes my shoulders down planting my feet firmer on the ground feeling as if I can't move. My brain glosses over, my throat seems to tighten and swell and I swallow hard hoping to swallow away the tears. The feeling of gratitude sweeps over me often – and most times I feel like it has no where to go – it just sits in my body and mind making it a lump – a lump who is unable to express out the feelings that are rushing through it and ultimately leaving me strangely dissatisfied.
As I stood at the bus stop this morning in Berlin with my backpacks weighing down on me – I felt even heavier as gratitude took over my body. Strangely I'm sad – sad because I wonder if I can ever be able to give back to all of those who I have immense gratitude for. It's these times when my life feels extremely uneven – it's these times where I feel like I take, take, take all of the goodness people have to offer me – and I have no way to give back – that's why the gratitude feels like a weight to me at times.
The only way I know to give the heaviness of gratitude a way out of my body is to write. Expressing gratitude in words at this keyboard is all I can really do.
There are no posts. Why not be the first to have your say?

Introducing Quoted: Friendship and the Hinged Gift Card Box...
January 10, 2018
Good morning and welcome to Day 1 of the January Papertrey Ink countdown! Nothing like some brand new stamping products and projects to get you going on a cold January morning. Grab something warm, and hop around to all the Papertrey team blogs to see what's new! You can find links to everyone's projects from the main Papertrey Ink blog.
Today I get to showcase a couple of the new products being introduced -- this month's Quoted set, which is an awesome friendship quote, and a fun new box die sized perfectly for gift cards!
These new products, along with anything else mentioned as "new" in today's post will be available for purchase beginning at 10pm ET on January 15th from the Papertrey Ink website.
I put together a card and gift box ensemble using these new goodies. For the card, I started off by doing a bit of watercoloring on a panel of watercolor paper that was cut with the brand new Mix & Mat: Confetti die. Just like all of the other Mix & Mat sets, there are three dies -- I used the outer scalloped frame along with the stitched border.
When my watercoloring was dry, I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it with gold powder. At the bottom I put a couple of the new birds, which you'll be seeing more of soon. They're cute and fluffy and kind of messy, and really fun to stamp.
I attached them with some foam for a little dimension.
The little gift card box was quick to put together using the new Hinged Gift Card Box die. This die also comes with a couple of different "panels" with words built into them -- really cute for embellishing the top. Here I did some watercoloring to match my card, then diecut it with the "enjoy" die from the set. All of the metallic gold droplets you see on today's projects were done using some Color Shine in Gold.
That's all for today! I'll be back here tomorrow with more - see you then!

University jobs in Australia: everything you need to know
About higher education in Australia
Australia is home to one of the best higher education systems in the world, making it a top destination for international students and academics. It has long seen foreign students – and their fees – as a national priority. In fact, the education of international students is Australia's third largest export, behind iron ore and coal, valued at £12.74 billion a year.
A quarter of all students in Australia – more than 1.3 million – are from abroad. At some institutions, and particularly in business and management courses, Australian-born students are even a minority.
Search for university and academic jobs in Australia
International staff in Australian universities
As student enrolments have grown over the past decade, so have staff numbers. In 2015 there were 120,000 full-time staff, directly employed by universities: over 50,000 academic and over 60,000 professional staff. Australian universities are keen on hiring staff from overseas, though there are immigration and visa requirements.
Some staff specialise in teaching or research, but many combine both; in 2015, more than 27,000 full-time staff members did both teaching and research, while about 15,000 were dedicated to solely to teaching and another 15,000 solely to research.
The Group of Eight (Go8) is a coalition of the most prestigious, research-intensive universities, several of which are known as Sandstone or Brick Universities, the largest and oldest in Australia. The Go8 aims to have the highest standards in academic research and student entry standards, and has a vast range of scholarships available for foreign researchers.
Australia is ranked fourth, with Germany, by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), as an international PhD student destination. The OECD also puts Australia's university completion rates as third highest, ahead of the United States and the United Kingdom.
University funding and salaries in Australia
A lecturer's average salary in 2009 was £3,894 per month, while full professor salaries started at more than £6,500 per month. Australian universities encourage employment that respects a work-life balance by offering flexible work arrangements, including part-time employment, job shares, planned career breaks and study leave.
The Department of Education is responsible for administering, funding and developing higher education policy and programmes. The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) guarantees that all institutions provide comprehensive, nationally consistent qualifications.
The Australian Government has primary responsibility for public funding of Higher Education through the 2003 Higher Education Support Act. The Australian Research Council funds both individual researchers and projects, and their Linkage programmes help to broker partnerships between researchers and industry, government and community organisations, as well as the international community. Commonwealth scholarships give a range of grants for specific purposes, including learning, teaching, research, and research training programmes.
Academic careers in Australia
In Australia, the head of a university is known as the vice-chancellor, who acts as the principal academic officer and chief executive officer. There are typically a number of vice presidents, who support the vice-chancellor on matters of administration, management and leadership. They each look after an area, such as academic affairs, corporate affairs, international affairs, research and so on.
The typical career journey for academics in Australia is modelled on the British system, and starts at the bachelor degree (typically lasting three years), followed by a master's and then a PhD. Most doctoral graduates will then be appointed at the lecturer or research assistant level. Academics have a range of job titles depending on their seniority, from research officers to lecturers and more senior roles such as professors and associate professors. Different organisations have their own established title systems, but there is a level system in use, from A to E, moving up in seniority. This, rather than the title, determines the academic rank.
Applications cannot usually be made before two years have passed since the previous application, advancement or recruitment. Tenure track positions have been scrapped, so there is occasional scrutiny and advancement is not automatic. Australian government organisations also employ a large number of academics or researchers.
Australian universities also abound with career opportunities outside teaching or academic research. The marketing and communication team manage the university's brand promotion and external relations. They work in conjunction with student recruitment officers, working from within Australia and abroad. Librarians disseminate information and provide support to students, researchers and lecturing staff.
There may also be a campus management team, responsible for on-site issues and logistic support. A student services team deals with day-to-day student issues and hosts student programmes. The admissions team manages the enrolment process. There will also be a career planning service and a team to co-ordinate alumni association activities. Finance officers safeguard a university's assets, creating financial plans and implementing financial regulations and procedures.

Saving for your child's education is one of the best investments you can make in their future. Find out how you can make the most of your education dollars with an ASG education fund.
A good quality education is key to setting your child up for life which is why both Kate & I have education funds with Australian Scholarships Group (ASG).
It's simple, put away as little as $2 per day into your child's fund, and at pre-determined educational milestones, you receive lump-sum payments to help you pay for all the big ticket items like fees, uniforms, lap-tops, textbooks, sports gear and other education expenses.
There are several types of ASG funds to choose from including the new Pathway Education Fund. The Pathway Education Fund can be set up to financially support your child through all stages of their education from pre-school to tertiary/vocational. The Pathway Education Fund is flexible so you can choose when you'd like your payments returned to you.
Both Kate & I contribute to an ASG Education Fund and Kate has just received her first payment which has been used to pay for typical costs associated with starting high school. I also make additional payments to the ASG Supplementary Education Fund so that my children will receive an additional scholorship to support them through university or TAFE.
To support our families through all stages of education, ASG also provides a library of online resources which covers every question you can think of about your child's education. Everything from choosing the right school, to building resilience and tackling bullying to supporting your child choose a career they love.
Kate & I both choose ASG because it's a member-owned fund so all profits are returned to members, it's an education fund so it's tax effective, funds are secured & safe and, finally, ASG has supported 520,000 children, just like ours, through their education since it's inception in 1974.
You can find out more about ASG and the different education funds it offers online. Or follow ASG on Facebook to keep up to date on all the latest news and get great tips on how to get the most from education related resources available to you & your child.

Another great set of slides I found recently walks through some good solutions and tool for Django developers that need multilingual support.
Starting with right-to-left ("rtl") they make excellent CSS based solutions that I presume are broadly applicable to any web design, and finishing with excellent description of some plugins/apps that can be used for multilingual namespaces.
The middle part doesn't teach much if you have done some Django and i18n before, if you haven't, it's a good, brief overview.

To achieve effectiveness and sustainability in today's complex, interconnected world, information security must be addressed at the highest levels of the organization, not regarded as a technical specialty relegated to the IT department
Organizations today face a global revolution in governance that directly affects their information management practices. Following the high-profile organizational failures of the past decade, legislatures, statutory authorities and regulators have created a complex array of new laws designed to force improvement in organizational governance, security, controls and transparency. Coupled with previous laws in these areas and information retention and privacy, these new laws and regulations, together with significant threats of information system disruptions from hackers, worm, virus perpetrators and terrorists create an unprecedented need for a governance approach to information management.
Information Security Governance: Guidance for Boards of Directors and Executive Management, first published in 2002, has been updated to reflect the changes in the environment, and to include many ideas and outcomes of those organizations that embrace good Information Security Governance.

Yesterday I posted a Google Maps lab assignment that I created for UBC's Advanced Cartography course earlier this year. For that class I also created a short QuantumGIS (aka QGIS) tutorial to expose students to an open source GIS and the possibility of using OpenStreetMap data to make basic maps. Here is that tutorial, which I hope some of you will find useful.
Geographical Biogeosciences 472
Advanced Cartography
QuantumGIS tutorial
In this tutorial you will learn how to use open source GIS software and free data sources. Once you have graduated, you may not have access to expensive software such as ArcGIS. In this exercise you will see that it is possible to make maps with free tools and data.
What is open source software?
Open source software means that the underlying computer code that makes up a program is published freely so that anyone can read and modify it. This means that anyone can find and fix any bugs in the software, which can make it more stable and less susceptible to bugs or computer viruses. Open source software is also almost always free of charge, which is an added benefit.
The downside to open source software has it has a reputation for lacking user-friendly interfaces, and for being challenging to learn. Open source software is also usually under constant development, meaning that some features may be lacking or incomplete. That said, some open source software is more user-friendly and stable than others.
There are several open source GIS programs to choose from, such as GRASS, uDig, gvSIG, OpenJUMP, and Cartographica. In this tutorial we will use QuantumGIS (usually called QGIS), which is one of the most powerful, stable, and user-friendly open source GIS programs. You can download it for free, and it runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
While QGIS doesn't contain all of the tools you find in ArcGIS, it lets you do a most of the basic GIS and cartographic tasks you are likely to need. It also includes a range of advanced GIS functions in the GRASS module, and you can add plug-ins written in Python if you need added functionality.
What is open data?
Just like GIS software, a lot of GIS data you encounter is not free. This either means you have to pay to access the data, or it means that you can download the data for free but are legally restricted in terms of where and how you may use it. Some free data is available from government agencies, such as the city of Vancouver (data.vancouver.ca), the government of Canada (data.gc.ca) or the US Census (census.gov/geo/www/tiger). Increasingly, you can also find data that has been crowdsourced by volunteers around the world using a creative commons license. The most popular example of this type of data is called OpenStreetMap. In this tutorial we will be using OpenStreetMap as an alternative to government or corporate data sources.
Part 1: Getting Started with QGIS
Downloading QGIS
Download QGIS from http://www.qgis.org/.
For Windows, choose the "Standalone Installer". This should be the only package you need to install.
For Mac OS X, you will be redirected to another website (KyngChaos.com) where you will have to install a few required packages (GDAL and GSL) before you install the QGIS package. Make sure you download and install each of the required packages (and the optional packages for GRASS and Python if you wish) before you install QGIS.
As with all open source software, some of the best help can be found on the mailing lists and online forums associated with the software. If you have consulted the online documentation and still can't figure out a problem, don't be shy about asking your question on the mailing lists. More experienced users are usually happy to help.
The QGIS mailing list:
After you've installed QGIS, try starting it up. You should get a blank window with a toolbar along the top. Now we have to add some data!
Part 2: Working with open source data
If you are trying to make a map, you probably already have some thematic data that you are trying to visualize. So, for the purposes of this lab, we will demonstrate a source of reference data that you can use to make basic maps, or as supporting data for a thematic map.
OpenStreetMap (often called "the Wikipedia of maps") is a collaborative free map of the world created by combining volunteer efforts with other public domain data sources. Unlike Google Maps, the raw data behind OpenStreetMap can be downloaded for free and used in a GIS. OpenStreetMap data is provided using a Creative Commons license which does not forbid using it in commercial products, but it does require that any improvements to the data must be shared back with the OpenStreetMap community.
You should be cautious when using OpenStreetMap data to be sure that it has sufficient accuracy and detail for your purpose (in fact, you should be cautious when using any dataset, for the same reasons!). Because OpenStreetMap, like Wikipedia, has been created largely by volunteers, you have no guarantee that the data will be accurate or complete. In some places data may be missing, while in other places OpenStreetMap may have data that is more detailed, accurate, and up-to-date than other professional or government data sources. Unlike other data sources, however, if you find an error in OpenStreetMap data, you can fix it yourself! Editing OpenStreetMap is outside the scope of this tutorial, but you can find out lots more about how to get started editing by going to the OpenStreetMap website: http://openstreetmap.org.
Downloading OpenStreetMap data
There are several third-party web sites that provide OpenStreetMap data in a variety of convenient formats. In our case we want the data in the form of shapefiles. We will download these shapefiles from a site called CloudMade. Start here:
Navigate down to the level of detail you want to download. For example, you might arrive at the page for BC:
You will see a variety of different file formats to download. In this case we want to download the file that ends in ".shapefiles.zip", such as british_columbia.shapefiles.zip
Download and unzip the file, using whatever unzip program you have on your particular operating system. After unzipping, you will now have a folder called "british_columbia.shapefiles". Read the readme.txt file inside the folder for a description of the different shapefiles in the folder.
Loading a shapefile into QGIS
Now we will load one of the OpenStreetMap shapefiles into QGIS (although the same steps apply for any shapefile you may wish to add).
Click this button in the menu bar:
Or, choose the menu option Layer > Add Vector Layer…
Add whichever OSM shapefiles you find interesting, but make sure that you also include the "highways" layer.
Changing the style of a layer
Once you have added a layer, you will want to change its style. Let's try changing the style of the highways layer. In the "Layers" panel, double click the highways layer. Now you can view all of its properties in the Layer Properties window that opens. (Note, if you don't have your Layers panel open, you can activate it under View > Panels > Layers). The contents of the Layer Properties window should be familiar to you if you have used ArcGIS, although the appearance will be different.
Make sure the "Style" page is selected within the Layer Properties window. In the upper left corner of the window you will see a drop-down selection box that is currently set on "Single Symbol". This means QGIS will apply a single style to all the features in the highway layer. Experiment with changing the style of the layer, either by adjusting the Color or Width properties, or choosing from the saved styles.
Now, try changing from "Single Symbol" to "Categorized". Here we can choose which column in our shapefile we want to use to apply styles. Select "TYPE" as the column, and then click the Classify button. You will see that every type of road has now been placed in its own class (you might remember this type of classification is called nominal or qualitative).
To perform a quantitative classification, switch from "Categorized" to "Graduated". Here you can select any quantitative columns from the shapefile. In this case, "LANES" is the only column we can select. Again, press the Classify button to perform an equal interval classification with five classes. (Those options can be changed to whatever you like). If you render the map with this classification, you will see that most of the roads in OpenStreetMap are lacking information on the number of lanes, so they show up in the 0 class.
Changing the projection
Another task you might need to perform in a GIS is the projection or reprojection of your data. You can determine the current map projection by looking at the EPSG code in the bottom right corner of your map window:
The EPSG system is a catalog of coordinate reference systems and map projections. In this case, EPSG:4326 tells us that our data is stored as unprojected lat/long coordinates using the WGS84 datum. We will need to project this data in order to display it properly.
To open the projection properties window, click the globe next to the EPSG number. At the top of the list of projections are the Geographic Coordinate Systems, that is, the unprojected reference systems. Scroll down until you see Projected Coordinate Systems. Expand this option, then expand the Albers Equal Area option below it. Select the projection called "NAD83 / BC Albers". Finally, check "Enable 'on the fly' CRS transformation" in the upper left of the projection properties window. Enabling this option makes QGIS function like ArcGIS, where the map view has one map projection, while the data layers that are within the window may have multiple different projections stored in their shapefiles. The projection in the original files will not change, but they will be reprojected dynamically so they are in the correct projection in the map view. Now click Okay to close this window.
You might find that your data seems to have disappeared. That is because the view remains centred on a particular set of coordinates, but those coordinates are now looking into a map view that has been reprojected. We are now looking in a different place! To find our data again, click the "Zoom Full" or "Zoom to Layer" button.
Now you should see your data again, this time reprojected to a more appropriate shape.
Part 3: Exporting from QGIS
Finally, if you want to add finishing touches to your map in Illustrator (or an open source alternative like Inkscape) you will need to export your map. You will export either as a PDF or an SVG file (either of these should be readable by Illustrator, but if you have trouble with one file type, try using the other one). The process of exporting is very similar to the process of printing in QGIS. Unfortunately, printing from QGIS is not immediately obvious.
To export as PDF or SVG, we first must create something called a Print Composer. Think of this like the Layout view in ArcGIS. First, select File > New Print Composer… to open the Composer window.
In the Composer window, set the paper size as "ANSI A (Letter)". Now click the Add New Map button along the top toolbar in the Composer window.
With the Add New Map tool highlighted, drag a rectangle in the blank white area at the left. This will be the extent of your map on the page, so most likely you will want to fill most of the white area, leaving a small margin around all sides.
You will be able to move the map inside this frame by using the hand tool, but you can't zoom in or out on the map. If you want the map to be zoomed in or out, you will have to do this in the main map window, not in the Composer. To change the zoom, you will have to select and delete this map frame, then use Add New Map again once you have changed the zoom in the main map window.
Click Close to save this Composer. Now, in File > Print Composers you will see the new print composer you created. Open this composer, and click either the PDF button or the SVG button in the toolbar to export your map.

What we know: The Republican National Committee has paid roughly $430,000 to lawyers representing the president and his eldest son, Don Jr. A White House official told me Trump will not be reimbursing the RNC for these costs. However, the White House official says he has pledged to spend the same amount, from his personal finances, "to defray the costs of legal fees for his associates, including former and current White House aides."

GV Financial Infographic
Howie Dumpty is a 2012 dark comedy directed by Jacob Kennedy. I served at the movie's Art Director. My contributions include the DVD cover/menu, promotional materials such as the movie's poster, and the illustrations that make up the ending credits. A link to the movie hosted on Vimeo is below.
SNOW DAY T-Shirt and SNOW DAY Print Ad
"SNOW DAY" was a Washington DC based bar crawl put on by Red Frog Events in December of 2011. The event was a huge success with a final attendance of over 2,000. I illustrated and digitally colored the design for the event T-Shirt, and aspects of that same design were used in a print ad to promote the event. The ad ran in DC's On Tap magazine twice in December.
Here are some audio projects I've worked on. Click on the title to go to the player. Descriptions of each project are below links.
Personal Introduction Spec Tape
This spec tape served as an introduction to my capstone Audio Production course at MSU. Using sound effects, music, and narration I created a segment that looked to highlight my personality, and interests.
"Hourz of Power" is a 3 hour metal/hardcore radio show on the MSU student radio station, IMPACT 89 FM ( voted college radio station of the year for the last 10 years by Michigan Association of Broadcasters…just saying) I used humor for this 60 second spot that focuses on just how extreme metal can be.

An Integrated Framework for the Smart Business
The four levels of IT Integration are: User Interaction, Business Process, Application and Data Integration.
This article originally appeared on the BeyeNETWORK.
The previous issue of this newsletter explained how business process, business information and business collaboration technologies can be used together to provide services that enable a company to become a smart business. The convergence of these technologies means that business information and collaboration products can no longer exist in a standalone or poorly integrated environment—they must be tightly integrated into a single framework (See Figure 1) that can adapt to changing business requirements and technology evolution. To explain how this integration is achieved, I will review the four levels of integration in IT systems and show how business process, business information and business collaboration technologies can be integrated cohesively in an IT system.
The four levels of IT integration are: user interaction, business process, application and data integration. Many technologies and products fit neatly into one of these categories, but as we will see, there is a trend in the industry toward products supporting multiple integration approaches, and as a result the dividing line between these four levels of integration is not always clear cut.
User interaction integration involves providing users with a single secure interface that enables them to collaborate and share information with each other. This interface should provide a single view of business transaction data, business intelligence (BI) and business collaboration information. An enterprise portal is an example of a product that supports user interaction integration.
A key issue with integration at the user interaction level is that although the business user is given a single view of multiple disparate systems, this view often highlights the lack of business process and data integration between those systems. This is why portal vendors are now adding the ability to support compositebusiness processes that add a business semantic layer between the user interaction interface and underlying business processes. A composite process interacts with both business transaction and BI processes and applications, and thus removes the need for business users to know which physical system contains what business information. This semantic layer also enables collaborative workflow processes to be added into an enterprise portal, which means that enterprise portals are beginning to support business process integration (see discussion below) in addition to user interaction integration.
Business process integration allows organizations to use business processes both within and across organizations seamlessly. Business process design tools enable developers to analyze, model, and simulate business processes. Business process automation and integration tools then implement these process models using underlying application integration technologies, which in turn manage business transaction and business intelligence applications, and business user interaction. The key benefit here is that the design process is isolated from the physical implementation by the business semantic layer built into the process models.
It is also important to point out that business process automation tools not only manage the implementation of distinct applications, but also monitor the flow of business events between those applications, and between applications and business users. Many process management tools are adding performance monitoring capabilities into this flow for analyzing business performance. Business intelligence vendors are also beginning to tap into the business event flows so that their products can be used to manage and optimize day-to-day front-office and back-office operations. It is important, therefore, that the business performance management (BPM) solutions offered by application integration and business intelligence vendors work cohesively together.
Figure 1. An Integrated Smart Business Framework.
Application Integration
Application integration technology manages the interaction between business transaction and business intelligence applications that may reside within or outside of an organization. Many organizations, however, also use it to transfer data between applications. In the data warehousing world, for example, many extract tools (sometimes called ETL tools) work with application integration software to capture data from an application workflow, and transform and load it into a data warehouse. To highlight this trend, many data warehouse vendors now market their ETL products as a part of a data integration suite.
Application integration vendors are either adding business process management capabilities to their products, or are building connections to third-party process management solutions. The dividing line between application integration and business process integration is therefore fading. This trend will accelerate as the IT industry moves toward a service-oriented architecture (SOA) that employs XML-based Web services for managing business processes and their underlying business transactions and business intelligence applications.
Before we move on to discuss data integration, it is important to highlight some key aspects of the discussion so far. The first thing to note is that user interaction, business process, and application integration are being used not only for business transaction processing, but also for business intelligence and business collaboration. Another is that the three types of integration can interact with each other, and can be used together. This is why the marketplace is moving toward user interaction, business process, and application integration software being bundled into a single application platform.
Data integration technology has two primary objectives. The first is to provide business processes and underlying applications with a single integrated view of business information. The second is to provide facilities for copying and moving data between different systems.
Several different technologies can be used for data integration, including extract, transformation, and load (ETL) tools, right-time ETL (RT-ETL) products, and enterprise information integration (EII) software. The technology used depends on several factors such as the type of processing, the data volumes involved, data currency requirements, and the amount of data transformation needed.
Data integration suites of ETL and RT-ETL tools dominate the BI marketplace for copying and moving data between systems, and are used specifically to extract and transform transaction data for loading into a data warehouse or low-latency ODS. EII solutions, on the other hand, are beginning to gain attention as a way of providing a single view of dispersed business information without having to copy data. As discussed earlier, there is an increasing need in organizations for solutions that can exploit business intelligence processing for right-time decision making. Operational business intelligence processing enables an organization to be more responsive. This may involve the querying and analysis of current or low-latency transaction data, BI-driven alerts and automated action taking.
From a data perspective, operational BI processing may be performed directly against transaction data (using EII software, for example), or using a low-latency ODS (created using a data integration suite). Transaction data can be used directly when data query and analysis volumes and complexity are low (to determine the status of a customer order, for example). When significant data transformation and analysis is required, and where some level of data latency can be tolerated, the use of a low-latency ODS is a better approach.
Choosing the Right Integration Solution
The integrated framework shown in Figure 1 should provide business users with a seamless environment that gives them easy, but secure access to the business processes, business information, and collaboration tools they need to do their jobs. Furthermore, the framework should make it easy for IT staff to evolve with new developments in information and collaboration technologies, and allow them to install products without the need for significant integration work.
An integrated business process, business information, and collaboration framework can be built using best of breed-of-breed tools, using suites of products purchased from multiple vendors, or using an integrated platform supplied by a single vendor. Whereas purchasing best-of-breed products may, in theory, provide the best functionality, experience shows that often this functionality cannot always be fully realized because products cannot be seamlessly integrated. Integrating best-of-breed products is complex and resource intensive. This complexity leads to project delays and frustration by business users because products do not work well with each other.
For the rapid deployment of a smart business, companies should consider buying an integrated platform from a single vendor, and integrate any missing features using best-of-breed products. This enables projects to be deployed faster, and provides better functionality and usability for business users. The single platform approach also often results in a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
As business transaction, business intelligence and collaboration processing become increasingly interconnected, a tightly integrated environment will make it easier for business users to access and manage the many business processes they are involved with in their day-to-day jobs.

Brobot is the name of the robot that Mr. L controls in an attempt to kill the heroes. Brobot is described as a hovering, head-shaped robot. Mr. L built it himself, but after the robot's destruction, is rebuilt into the form of Brobot L-type.
Mr. L calls Brobot his "metal bro", but calls Brobot L-type his "metal friend".
In the course of the story, Mario fights Brobot in chapter 4-4, the Whoa Zone. The heroes fight it after fighting Mr. L himself. The fight between the heroes and Brobot occurs in space, with the help of your ally Squirps. In the battle, you must use the five different Choco-Bars floating by, in order to gain an advantage on Brobot.
- Max HP is 255, Attack is 4, Defense is 3.
- Brobot has the most HP of any boss in the entire game, however; due to the fact that you fight in space with Squirp's laser, is much easier and quicker than other bosses.
