Mena Trott At TED 2006
We rank and catalog what is and is not important. Worse, others who barely understand us rank and dispose of what they do not understand.
In this 2006 TED Talk Mena Trott makes the case that blogs and bloggers are a valid and essential part of the storytelling tradition. Mena is one of the founders of Six Apart. For more information and inspiration visit http://www.ted.com

These young ladies made my summer mornings as special as special can be. Neither I nor any of my sibilings have kids so hanging out with my friends' kids daily if only for a little bit, for six weeks, was charming. Getting in touch with my 'auntie' self.

Art and Eros in Los Angeles
It was like any gallery show. Some good, some base level art work and a couple of exceptional pieces. They had to be, they cost at least $4,500 and up.
The piece that I like the best was the white marble with the hips and thighs just like mine!
The images are of an explicit nature. Seriously explicit. If you have trouble with naked fruit of a human nature you aren't gonna like this. Absolutely not safe for work.

Women :: Gatekeepers to Sex?
Trailer for a short from the Tribeca Film Festival on how things for women change, sometimes only with great courage.
Sadly, one step forward is often followed by three steps back.
Women have historically been the keepers of sexual morality, and have borne social and legal responsibility for men unable to keep their pants zipped.
"Cover yourself," has been an answer in some cultures, and if a woman fails to prevent male sexual aggression, she pays with her life.
What's with that?
It's time for men to take responsibility for their pressing sexuality.

Penguin Day is a day-long workshop for nonprofit organizations to explore the range of issues and options inovlved in using Free and Open Source Software. Penguin Days happen in different locations several times a year and for the past three years, these meetings have taken place after the annual NTC: Nonprofit Technology Conference. Last Saturday, I attended my first one. Although I was pretty exhausted by Saturday, I learned a great deal.
I was curious to observe the gender balance at Penguin Day and while I'm not as meticulous as Christine in counting and calculating the number of women and men in the room, I took a quick video to get a reading. Very roughly, the percentages for Penguin Day look better than industry standards for both OS and commercial software. The video incorporates some slides from Angela Byron's excellent presentation, "Women in Floss" which also speaks to the dark side of gender issues in FOSS communities. The presentation offers some good pointers to women in how to get involved in FOSS communities.

My cousin Erin got married this weekend in Washington D.C. and Jen and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. I have many fond childhood memories of both Erin and her sister, Stephanie, and am so glad we have re-connected as adults, spending some time together here in New York this past year. An unfortunate incident occured at the reception, something I am replaying in my head over and over, wishing I had said and done things differently. Jen and I discuss what happened here because now, with video and the Internet, people are held more accountable for their actions. I chose not to record the incident as it was happening out of respect for my cousin Erin on her wedding day. But I will say this: The invention of video blogging and the convenience of You Tube is a gauntlet thrown down at the feet of bigotry, homophobia, sexism, racism and all the ugliness that humans can muster.

The 10th October is World Mental Health Day, an annual date aimed at raising awareness of mental health issues and mobilising efforts in support of mental wellbeing.
Curry & Chaat is an (amazingly titled) initiative championed by Mental Health Foundation, a UK charity that researches and addresses the source of mental health problems. The campaign is all about getting together with friends, family and/or colleagues, having a curry and raising money and awareness for good mental health. You can learn more about Curry & Chaat here.
As mental wellbeing is a key focus for Hallmark, we held our very own Curry & Chaat event on World Mental Health Day.
Our canteen served delicious chicken tikka masala and vegan chickpea curry, along with tasty samosas and an array of condiments.
Hallmarkers submitted their suggestions and tips for improving mental wellbeing in the workplace, and there was opportunity to sign up for a confidential talk with a mental health steward. We also had a few collection boxes for Mental Health Foundation (we'll keep you updated with the total amount!).
It was a fantastic event and brilliant to see so many people discussing ideas.
And although we held our Curry & Chaat on World Mental Health Day, you can hold your own event at any time of the year. We're very tempted by festive curry recipes…all for a great cause, of course!

The symbol of the National Service Scheme, as appearing on the cover page of this Manual is based on the ' Rath ' wheel of the Konark Sun Temple situated in Orissa. These giant wheels of the Sun Temple portray the cycle of creation, preservation and release, and signify the movement in life across time and space.
The design of the symbol, a simplified form of the Sun-chariot wheel primarily depicts movement. The wheel signifies the progressive cycle of life. It stands for continuity as well as change and implies the continuous striving of NSS for social transformation and upliftment.
NSS was formally launched on 24th September, 1969, the birth centenary year of the Father of the Nation. Therefore, 24th September is celebrated every year as NSS Day with appropriate programmes and activities.
- To enable the students to understand the society in which they work.

Occasionally a customer sends us a really awesome picture of one of our teas. They have ranged from pictures in the packaging, to pictures of the loose tea, to pictures of happy people drinking them to…. We love seeing these.
In fact, we've liked them so much that when we've been given permission to use them, we do. It adds more life to our listings, and it amuses me to have pictures of our teas and cocoas and coffees "in the wild."
It has gotten to the point where I am almost saddened by all of the listings that do not have these special gift-pics.
In light of this, Mister Tea and I have decided that we will offer a special (5%) discount for photos we use. Or, if you'd rather, we'll make a note to include a sample of something you haven't tried with your next order.

Robot Food brands Jenson Button-backed restaurant
Harrogate-based consultancy Robot Food has created the branding for new restaurant brand Victus, which has opened its first branch in the town and is backed by Formula One star Jenson Button.
The consultancy has developed an identity for the restaurant as well as a website, signage, point-of-sale material, menus and uniforms.
Victus aims to offer fresh, healthy seasonal food. Victus founding member Jenson Button says, 'Having a keen interest in great food and different types of cuisines from around the world I wanted to be part of a restaurant that combined all of my favourite elements of dining out with friends.'
The company says, 'Victus stands for Love, Life and Food and that ethos has been applied to everything, from the food on the menu to the artwork on the walls.'
It says it has been planning the Victus launch for two years, while refurbishment has been ongoing on site for five months.
For the identity, Robot Food has develped a logo with five colourways to add variation. The identity can also be stripped back to just the typeface for applications such as main exterior signage.
The brand illustration was created by illustrator Jono Wood and has also been used to created bespoke wallpaper within the restaurant.

COMMENTARY: Can America Really Afford Peace? The Unspoken Question
Wednesday, February 20, 2013 - 15:24 By Joseph J. Honick
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. -- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, farewell address, Jan. 17, 1961
While we listen to all the chatter about troop withdrawals, deficits and all kind of political back and forth accusations about our economy, no one is asking if we can afford to have peace anytime soon.
Tough question, right? Appropriate also!
1. we are still in a war mode in Afghanistan and lurching toward more in the Middle East;
2. all that requires sustained defense industry production and employment;
3. we nevertheless are awash in unemployment, debt and unpaid bills;
So….can we really afford the economic impact of something that looks like peace?
No one wants to deal with what will happen if almost the whole war-based industrial and military complex comes to a screeching halt.
The subject is not even quietly asked in the Halls of Congress and in the campaign offices of those almost clownishly demanding attention for their candidates at all levels,
But think about it because not many responsible people are : Tens of thousands of men and women, including their highly paid bosses, are operating in the defense industries whose daily contracts from the Department of Defense are at least in the hundreds of millions. Not quite as conspicuous are the tens of thousands of civilian contractors operating in the various war zones and who actually outnumber our military personnel at least in Afghanistan!
Though we and others have raised the issue of the One- Trillion- and- Counting cost of these ever increasingly expensive wars we cannot win or even end, only recently did the New York Times suddenly make that "investment" a front page story. Even then, their reporter omitted the more than One- Billion- and- counting the governments of Messrs Bush and Obama have "invested" in paying private PR and advertising firms to keep "selling" Americans and the world that we not only were doing something necessary but actually winning.
Imagine: having to sell wars supposedly intended to keep the nation free of bad people and their assaults!
Think again for a moment:
1. Despite the President's declared intention to "draw down" thousands of troops in 2012, the Department of Defense has major contracts on the books for billions of dollars to do work projected for the next several years just inside Afghanistan.
2. A recent 36-page report by the Congressional Research Service not only shows the number of defense contractor personnel right in Afghanistan substantially exceeds our military forces, but includes admissions by Secretary of Defense Gates of not all that long ago that we have not had very efficient management of those contractors and their contracts. See CRS Report titled: DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE CONTRACTORS IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ: BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS, dated May 13, 2011;
3. There has yet to be much of any media attention to those defense contractor personnel living in Afghanistan, what facilities they have residentially, recreationally etc and who is paying for all that. You can be sure they do not live the same tough lives of our military personnel.
4. No one has yet even tried to answer questions I raised some months ago as to why the most powerful forces in the world cannot defeat something called "insurgents", but we cannot even find and destroy their channels of supply, financing, training and recruitment.
Are there answers to these points? Well there are certainly places to begin.
First, there needs to be a Congressional probe of why we have failed to negotiate any kind of payback from the Iraqi government we helped top install in return for our sacrifice of men, women, money and a lot more. Why has not one Congressional unit even raised the question of our helping the Iraqis merely auction off the oil fields we helped put back in action without getting a dime participation in the profits that will roll in?
Second, it has already been adduced that some major defense industry contractors have hugely overcharged for products and services. It would be a measure of public confidence building if our government would make a larger issue of this fact and demonstrate what actions are being taken to recover those taxpayer investments.
Third, if the Congress cannot handle researching these and other concerns, it would be useful if citizen groups organize to raise these important questions.
It should not have been lost on the American voters that even the Republican contenders for the presidency who chatted amiably with each other in New Hampshire and Iowa were virtually in agreement regarding the terrible and questionable state of affairs in Afghanistan where even that nation's head of state has said we Americans are "occupiers."
Solution: citizens should demand that our communications media ask these questions and insist on answers.
After all this done, if any is, we will still be saddled with the reality that a return to any kind of peace will result not only in withdrawal of troops and their equipment, but the removal of all those civilian contractors whose corporations have been doing well on the American taxpayer. Apparently no strategies have been put in place to figure out how to handle such major job displacement.
In one small area of such concerns, even if we create something called peace in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of questionable wars, we have already inserted ourselves in what has come to be known as the "Arab Spring" where major PR firms are finding wonderfully new and suddenly well financed clients among so called "rebel" operations whose leadership may or may not be to our liking or benefit.
So I repeat the question: can America really afford peace?

The Magnet In That Old Hunk of Wood
Listen to Audio (right click to save)
It started out as a family adventure; it ended as a family tragedy. James Reddick took his 12-year-old son and his 11-year-old daughter on a hiking expedition up on Mount Rainier in Washington State. All of a sudden, a freak snowstorm arose. It created instant blizzard conditions and hurricane force winds. With a blinding 'white out' around them, they could not go any further. Dad knew they had to create some kind of shelter. All he could do was to cut out a large hole in the ground; he used a cup from their cooking kit to do it, and then he put his children in that hole and he covered it with a tarp. But the fierce winds just kept blowing the tarp away, and that left the children exposed to that deadly storm. The father tried everything he could find to hold down the tarp, but nothing worked. Finally, in one last desperate attempt to save his children, he actually lay across that hole himself to keep the snow from blowing in. Two days later, a search party noticed the edge of a backpack. They uncovered the hole and they found the two children alive and well. But first they uncovered their father who froze to death, protecting the ones he loved.
That father had given the highest kind of love there is - the giving of his life so people he loved would not have to die. It is that kind of love that touches us in the deepest part of us; it's a compelling love. It's why I'm asking you to open your heart today to the One who has loved you like that.
It's Jesus who said those oft-quoted words: "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). Then, in John 10:11, our word for today from the Word of God, Jesus says, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep." I'm one of those sheep that He laid down His life for, and so are you. And that's why it is so important that you make sure you belong to Him; that you've responded to Jesus. The Son of God put His body between you and the awful consequences of running your own life, eternal separation from God. When He died on the cross, Jesus took the storm of God's judgment on Himself. He died so you don't have to.
Malcolm Muggeridge was one of the most respected British journalists of the last century. His keen insights and his distinctive writings appeared regularly in some of England's most respected publications. For much of his life, he was an articulate unbeliever when it came to Jesus. But later in life, his perspective changed dramatically. He became a committed and outspoken follower of Jesus Christ. When he was asked what drew him to Christ, he simply said, "It is the cross, more than anything else, that has called me inexorably to Christ."
Not Christianity, not rituals, not beliefs, not even the great teachings and miracles of Jesus. It was His cross. See, there really is a magnet in that old hunk of wood; a magnet that draws us to the foot of that cross to see how very much He loves us. In your heart, would you allow yourself to walk up to that old skull-shaped hill, stand there at the foot of that cross and look at the agony of the Son of God, nailed to that cross. And listen as He looks your way and says, "Father, forgive him"..."Father, forgive her."
Put all the excuses aside, all your religion, your failures, those hypocrites you've known, those questions, and just let it finally overwhelm you. God's one and only Son loves me; He died for me! And then, bow down at that cross and give yourself to this One who cared more about your life than His own. Tell Him, "Jesus, I'm Yours!"
If you'd like to be sure you belong to Him, we would love to help you know how to begin a relationship with Him and where to go from here. If you'll just go to our website, that's really what it's there for. It's called YoursForLife.net. Would you visit us there as soon as you can today?
I can understand if you walk by Christians or even Christianity. But please, don't walk by the cross! That is a love you just dare not pass by. And it is your only hope of heaven.
Learn how to begin a personal, love-relationship with the God who made you.

Embed a Vimeo Video into a React Website
In this article, we're going to walk through the process of embedding a Vimeo video into a React application/website. To do most of the heavy lifting, we'll use the ReactPlayer npm package and React component to embed the video.
Let's get started!
Table of Contents
Create a React Application
Before we can add ReactPlayer and our Vimeo video, we need a React application we can work with. The easiest way to do this is by using the Create-React-App
npm package. It allows us to build react apps quickly and with no build configuration.
Install Node.js
First, you'll need Node.js installed if you don't have it already.
If needed, we created a guide on installing Node.js. It covers installations for Linux, Windows, and macOS.
With Node.js installed, we can move on to the next step.
Create App with Create-React-App
Now we're ready to create the React app.
To make things quick and easy, we will use the Create-React-App npm package. It's a quick way to build React applications with no build configuration.
To create the app, use one of the following commands (depends on what method you prefer):
$ npx create-react-app your-site
$ npm init react-app your-site
$ yarn create react-app your-site
Test App on Local Host
Now that your application has been built, let's test the site locally to make sure it's working. Inside the newly created project, you can run some built-in commands.
In the terminal window, move into your project folder with the command:
$ cd your-site
Then, run one of the two following commands to run the application:
$ npm start
$ yarn start
When the application is done compiling, you should see a similar message in your terminal:
Compiled Successfully!
You can now view your-site in the browser.
Local: http://localhost:3000/
On Your Network: http://192.168.42.125:3000/
Note that the development build is not optimized.
To create a production build, use yarn build.
Your application is now running and you can view it in your browser:
You should now see this or something similar when you visit your website in the browser:
If everything went as planned, you now have a React application running and you're ready to embed the Vimeo video.
Add Vimeo Video
We'll be using the ReactPlayer npm package to embed a Vimeo video.
Let's get ReactPlayer added to our React application.
Install ReactPlayer Npm Package
Open a terminal window and navigate to the root directory of the Create-React-App application you created earlier.
Then, execute the following command to install the package and save it to your project's dependencies:
$ npm install react-player --save
Or you can install it using Yarn with this command:
$ yarn add react-player
Now we're ready to add it to our app.
Add ReactPlayer Component To Your App
Open the Create-React-App application we created earlier in your favorite text editor. We need to make updates to the
App.js file in the
src directory.
Update App.js File
Open the
/src/App.js file for editing.
Update the contents of the
App.js file to look like this:
// /src/App.js
import React from "react"
import ReactPlayer from "react-player"
function App() {
return (
export default App
The main things we do are import the
react-player npm package and then add a component to our page called
Then, we added the URL of the Vimeo video (replace this with the URL of the video you want to embed) and a style object to the
ReactPlayer component.
ReactPlayer provides many more options for general and service-specific playback. Check out the project's Github page if you want to learn more.
View Your App
Open your app in your browser and notice the changes. If all went well, it should look something like the screenshot below.
The ReactPlayer component is now embedded in your webpage!
Congratulations! You have successfully embedded a Vimeo video into your application.

Baseplan Software Helps Keep JLG On Top
Baseplan allows us to accurately measure our business, to set up KPIs in terms of efficiency and in the end that really helps us to improve our support to our customers.
It links all the operations of our business from our people in the field to our back office staff. For us Baseplan Software has become a total operating system." Bob Mules, General Manager, Australia and New Zealand.
In Australia's highly competitive access equipment market, a product range renowned for its quality, performance and innovation is merely a good start.
That's why the management of JLG Industries Australia set out to back it with the best possible support systems - including Baseplan Software.
"Baseplan pilots began in 2008 covering CRM, IVT and the financial modules, and the full Baseplan package went live in 2009, which covers parts, service, sales and finance."
"With Baseplan's help we are also able to implement processes to feed the local accounting data back to our American parent company's accounting system in a format it can use," Simone Klingberg said. "We're sending back our month-end and year-end financials at the touch of a button."
Just as important for the company was the roll out of the IVT module which allowed JLG's service division to deliver major speed and efficiency improvements for customers.

Dec. 29, 2013 By Jack Jodell.
As I contemplate this past year, I keep wishing it would end, so we can attempt to begin anew in 2014. It has been said that hope springs eternal, and I believe that to be a good thing. For 2013 proved to be a difficult year for me, both privately and in the world events, political and economic, which helped shape it. In August I lost my youngest brother to esophageal cancer. He fought it valiantly for 17 months, but it eventually claimed him in the end. While this was a year of many disappointments, I recognize that nothing is always all bad or all good, and, being basically optimistic at heart, I realize there are a few hopeful signs to look forward to. But before I muse over those hopeful signs, I will first disclose and then discard the intense negativity which seemingly permeates so much of our topical discussion.
The Tea Party has proven itself to be one of the most destructive forces to ever assault our federal government. It has all but devoured the once great Republican Party and has transformed it from a cautious, respectful, thinking person's conservative party into a reactionary one obsessed with turning the clock backward to the late 19th century in nearly all matters social, economic, and governmental. It presently controls the House of Representatives and its proponents have been largely successful in both paralyzing and then shutting down the federal government for a time as well as inflicting a disastrous austerity-style budget on this country. I doing so, it has vastly added to the growing ranks of the poor and disenfranchised in this country today, and that is NOT a good thing! The only real beneficiaries of this reactionary group of extremists' policies have been the wealthiest 1% and a narrow band of highly deluded, government-hating libertarians. Not so coincidentally, those were the very same groups which founded and still continue to fund this incredibly myopic and destructive force. They have made a sham out of government and have established a sort of dictatorship by the minority, in which only the 1% truly prosper at the expense of the 99% MAJORITY, especially the bottom tiers of that majority. This cannot and MUST NOT be allowed to stand any longer!
The ever-profiteering corporatist status quo has ceased to provide opportunity and wealth for the majority of citizens and now caters primarily to special interests which are overwhelmingly funded by the richest 1%. This has led to the least productive Congress in the entire history of the United States and a huge amount of justified disgust band distrust among the 99% MAJORITY. We are now bombarded constantly with nauseatingly misleading advertisements in our media. A large share of our primary sources for vital information have become centers of disinformation and distortion rather than truth. This negative corporatist influence is confusing the mass public, dividing them, and cheapening the American way of life in the process. Corporatism has become rampant: it has completely bought out the Republican Party and dominates the Democratic Party to such a huge degree that, true public servants devoted to economic justice, like Keith Ellison, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders, find themselves marginalized.
Regarding gun safety issues, this mediocre, bought-out Congress completely ignores what the majority of voters favors: stricter firearms procurement regulations. The same is true for the ever-widening disparity of wealth – here, an overwhelming majority of the public favors a much-needed rise in the minimum wage, but this do-as-little-as-possible Congress does virtually nothing to aid these desperate lower wage workers. To add insult to injury, they have even voted to drastically cut food stamps! The logic of this move is bafflingly absent, as the debt and deficit have been steadily shrinking! What the hell are these fools thinking, anyway?
The ONLY solution is for us to elect a strong, progressive-minded majority to Congress in 2014, and a strongly progressive President two years after that!
While President Obama campaigned as a bold, groundbreaking progressive back in 2008, he has proven himself to be far more moderate than most of us had hoped he would be. His cozying up to Wall Street while doing very little for those on Main Street has been a major disappointment. So, too, has been his half-hearted effort to end the war in Afghanistan, as well as his use of drones and his failure to rein in what has become an overly-paranoid spying program by the National Security Agency. In his defense, he has had virtually no cooperation from a bitterly hostile reactionary Republican-controlled House. but it is this blogger's humble opinion that he could have done a much better job in dealing with Congress by being far less aloof with them. He has shown a maddening tendency to coo when he should have been roaring, and also to roar when he should have been cooing with them. He has allowed sinister elements in the GOP to frame his debates with them rather than the opposite. His Affordable Care Act rollout was a botched effort and a perfect case in point. Consequently, he has lost much of the political capital he gained with his re-election, and now the common people are paying the price. That, too, is why the choice for President in 2016 must be a bold progressive who can skillfully and effectively push his or her agenda through an often- reluctant Congress.
On the more positive side of the scene, the opponents of corporate greed have been blessed with an unexpected new ally from an unexpected new source. I am speaking of the Roman Catholic Church's new pontiff, and Time Magazine's Person of the Year for 2013 – Pope Francis. With his courageous stand against capitalist greed, and through his call to end its over-preoccupation with culturally divisive issues like abortion and gay rights, this pope is trying to foster a much needed and long overdue shift in the Church. The end result should be a return to Catholic values of the 1950s and 1960s, when the Church took an active role in support of economic justice and civil rights – concerning itself as it should with issues of fairness, equality, and nondiscrimination. This is a very welcome change which will yield global benefits.
One thing is for certain: progressives cannot afford to sit idly by and let the Tea Party devour the Senate the same way they gobbled up the House in the disastrous midterm elections of 2010. No, friends – we must fight this destructive, anti-government and anti-progress force with everything we can to get this federal government back on track and working for the benefit of the 99% MAJORITY once again. For, if the 99% all get out and vote for progressives, it won't matter what the 1% with all its money does! So let's all gear up for a long fight, and may our combined efforts pay off at long last!

Bronx students launch handcrafted vessel in Hunts Point as part of 'Rocking the Boat' programPosted: Updated:
A boat, handcrafted by a group of Bronx students, is making its maiden voyage from the waters off Hunts Point.
A group of 12 high school students put in months of hard work during a program called "Rocking the Boat."
The nonprofit group works with students after school and teaches them everything they need to know to build a wooden sea craft. The organization says it aims to help students develop self-confidence and set ambitious goals.
The boat is making its voyage from Riverside Park up to Marina Del Ray in Throgs Neck.
The boat is being purchased by local businessman Bill Endico. All the profits will go toward sponsoring future boat-building and environment education programs.

Goustera serves the European market with fresh produce from Greece. Our main area of production is in the north, in particular the region of Kavala/Nestos. The producers from the Kavala/Nestos region, have gone into partnership with Goustera now making it possible for them to enter the international markets. Goustera is a responsible contact source for this highly interesting region, as it becomes more accessible to the international markets. Customers both on the domestic and international markets benefit from Goustera as a source to ensure high quality, certified produce.
Furthermore, the company run by the Loutigkas family promote and expand organic farming in the area. Good advice, the distribution of biological and organic aids and resources, as well as training programmes in organic farming and environmental technology, will strengthen a region which tends to be structurally weak, and opens the doors to first class products for international traders.
At the moment Goustera is selling kiwis, pomgranates, melons, grapes, kakis and goji berries from farms in the region. The fruit is sorted, stored and packed locally by Goustera, and undergoes continual quality control checks. We will offer more products in the future if there is a demand.
Optimal conditions: extremely fertile land seated between mountains and the sea, hot summers, enough water, high humidity, significant temperature fluctuations during harvesting time and short hard winters.
Guaranteed organic quality: certified organic production, constantly monitored by the independent Fysiologiki Association; added to this, ecologically sound agricultural techniques such as green manuring and droplet irrigation.
Quality rather than quantity: No artificial fertilizers, no pesticides (therefore a reduction in crop yields and more work intensive eg. combatting weeds). There are "Safety zones" to provide distance from neighbouring conventional farmland, and the planting of Cypress and Thuja hedges as well as using vines as a natural protection against drifting pesticides.
Although Goustera's main products are kiwi fruit and pomegranates, we are happy to deliver a choice of fruit, some of them also in organic quality. Of course, our products come in a range of size and quality categories.
Kiwis – the Hayward and Tsechelidis varieties
Pomegranates – the wonderful and Akko varieties
Persimmons – eg. sharon fruit
Grapes – the Italia, Victoria and Thomson varieties
Goji berries
As a member of the "Fysiologiki" Association, Goustera is certified by an EU organic inspection body, in both areas of agriculture and processing. Organic products are only bought in from growers who possess the organic certification of the various associations.
In order to reach optimal after-ripening, the harvesting time is agreed with the growers. At each delivery, we do random checks in our own laboratory. Storage is under constant scientific monitoring to guarantee a high standard of quality.
The Produce of our farmers who follow conventional methods are certified by Global G.A.P. as well as our packing house
Goustera is ISO 22000 / HACCP certified.
Goustera Technology and Building Methods
Goustera puts a high priority on modern facilities that meet the requirements of international partners, and ensure the quality of the fruit throughout the whole process. The companies BIENTER and EUROKAT helped as in the period of building to reach a high level.
Environmentally friendly location: The Goustera buildings and facilities are situated on an industrial estate not far from the cultivation areas owned by the company, with good transport links to the motorway, the airport and the new sea-trading port. The fertile land is protected and urban sprawl is avoided.
Modern technology: An Italian-made sorting plant is able to sort up to 9 tons of fruit an hour, via 13 gates.
Performance and environmental protection: The fruit is cooled in computer-operated cold storage rooms with a capacity of up to 900 tons. The most up-to-date standards (controlled atmosphere, ethylene burners, etc.) as well as the environmentally friendly refrigerant 507 guarantee fresh and uncontaminated fruit.
Fun fact: According to the local dialect in our region of northern Greece "Goustera" means lizard. Lizards are still plentiful in our area – at least, in the places where nature is still nature. We often see them in our vegetable garden, where they help us by eating the all too greedy insects. They are a symbol for us. For the healthy balance of nature, for flexibility, mobility, and for resilience.

The seventh Kuwait government to be formed by Sheikh Nasser has taken office. Several lawmakers walked out from the parliamentary session in protest against the new government, and the prime minister's seventh since 2006.
Immediately afterwards, two Kuwaiti lawmakers submitted a request to question the prime minister, signalling a fresh challenge for the new government on its first encounter with the parliament, as expected by Political Capital. Ahmad al-Sadoun, leader of the opposition Popular Action bloc, and liberal lawmaker Abdulrahman al-Anjari, submitted a request to question the prime minister in parliament over issues including the country's four-year 30 billion dinar (US $109 billion) development plan.
Despite naming a new oil minister, the government did not include any changes to offices of state including interior, defence, foreign affairs and finance. The previous cabinet quit in March to avoid the questioning of three ministers who are all members of the ruling Al Sabah family.
May 10, 2011
Analysis and Forecast: Increasing Risk
The new cabinet, retaining most of the former one, was prone to a hostile reception by parliament. The political situation in Kuwait has become exceedingly tense due to both local and regional reasons, including the Bahrain crisis. The return of almost all the previous cabinet in the new government is seen as a means to delay the inevitable: a more radical government or dissolution of parliament. The seventh government of Sheikh Nasser in less than five years may have the shortest life, unless the Emir dissolves parliament. Dissolving parliament at this critical time facing Kuwait and region, may lead to an inflammation of the already tense political situation. The Emir may not even call for an election and wait several months. If this happens, there is an increased risk of civil unrest.
The other option that the Emir may chose is to reform the cabinet, giving key portfolios, such as foreign, defense and interior ministries to non-members of the ruling family. He will unlikely do this as this would create rifts within the ruling family itself, and inflame an already difficult status quo.
Either option, Kuwait faces a complicated political situation, which coming at this difficult regional time, threatens to spill into civil unrest.
The economic implications of either are that Kuwait's economic development plans face further delays, thereby having negative repurcussions on growth.

HONESTY Presents RENAISSANCE EP Vinyl 12″
CAT No VIEW001-12
BUY NOW in our SHOP – Also available asDigital format
A&R by Dairmount / Graphics & artwork picture by Hannes Piltz / INTU
Click the LOGOS below to DIRECTLY BUY the release on the following record shops
Also available at WEB RECORDS in Germany / NULOOP in France
Following the overwhelming feedback about our first release, we proudly present to you the RENAISSANCE EP by Berlin's HONESTY (known for his work with Daniel Paul as Slope on Sonar Kollektiv). Being his first solo EP since 2000, we are thrilled to propose you this fresh perspective on Honesty's musical identity and to include him as one of our Room with a view core artists. In our book, he is genuinely one of these "unsung heroes" of the German electronic scene that carries 20 years of dedication & experience through many sideways & projects, representing wisely an open source of musical horizons as wide as Berlin's, the city that shelters him since the mid nineties.
The cosmopolitan flair of Berlin & its club scene developments in the last 2 decades are only a part of what nourished Honesty's appetite for translating an already well furnished musical background. Honesty is a master in the art of creating "hybrid" club music that is crossing over genres & musical emotions. This EP is a jewel of "retro futurism" opening with the stunning BRIXTON BEACH. Some would probably describe it as a mixture of Neo Boogie & Proto-Techno, somewhere between vintage works of Morgan Geist & Carl Craig. We simply believe it is some of the sexiest & funkiest club soundtrack to be experienced today & tomorrow. The same could probably apply to BLEEP ME, a well rounded prototype of moody deep house mutating in a cosmic disco trip. A track able to combine a subtle atmospheric climax with a relentless disco energy. The spacey & moody aspects of Honesty's music are developing some hypnotic qualities with the dubby house of STARTER SEVEN. A track of unrevealed power as long as you didn't play on a proper sound system…
- The Renaissance EP is the first solo EP of Honesty in 10 years and is the beginning of a longer collaboration with Room With A View. A second EP will be released in autumn 2009.
- Honesty has recorded several EP's & 2 albums (M in 2003 & Komputa Groove in 2005) as Slope (with his partner Daniel Paul) on Jazzanova's Sonar Kollektiv.
- Honesty has collaborated with, remixed & been remixed by people as various as Ovasoul 7, Capitol A, Clara Hill, Mocky, Fat Freddy's Drop or Charles Webster.
- An Honesty remix will be part of Joel Alter's EP, our 6th release in autumn.

Good morning everyone.
I am currently not here, because I am at the airport going to California with my husband for a long weekend.
We'll be gone Friday-Tuesday and I couldn't be more excited. Want to know some details?
Its basically a compound, but its pretty incredible having the water all around you
We rented a convertible so we can really enjoy ourselves. I don't know what brand or anything, I just googled convertibles.
We plan on visiting:
The spa
Our pool
We couldn't be more excited to take a little weekend-moon without the baby, and go out and eat and just worry about ourselves and relax. Kennedy will be staying with my parents and will be well taken care of, so I just get to be excited.
Are you going on vacation soon? If so, where to?

If you are reading this article, you likely need to learn how to fire an employee because it is just not working out. While this is never a pleasant situation to be in, it's one that should be handled with care. Whether it be for performance, insubordination, inability to follow rules, or a combination of the three, this article will guide you through how to fire someone in the easiest, most legally sound way possible. Please note that this article contains general information only, so you should consult your own legal professional before making any decisions.
We will go over the following regarding how to fire an employee:
- Can I Fire An Employee?
- Do I Have to Provide Severance Pay?
- Compiling Termination Paperwork
- The Termination Meeting: Breaking the News
- What to Do After the Termination
- Red Flag Situations & FAQs for Small Business Owners
- Post Mortem – Getting Ahead for Next Time
Can I Fire An Employee?
The short answer to this question is, generally, yes. Every state except Montana has "at-will" employment. At-will means that, regardless of reason, an employer can terminate an employee without cause (and vice versa – an employee can walk out without providing a reason).
However, you cannot terminate an employee for an illegal reason, such as race, pregnancy, or age, which would be discriminatory.
Even though employment is generally at-will, an employee can still sue you for discrimination or perceived wrongful termination. The more documentation you have showing that you didn't fire the employee for illegal reasons, the better off you'll be and the easier it will be to defend yourself if the employee later asks for his personnel file or hires a lawyer.
What If I Have No Paperwork on the Employee?
If your employee is caught doing something illegal, such as bringing illicit drugs into the workplace, attacking another employee, or stealing, you can fire him or her without the need for paperwork.
In other situations, if you have not collected any paperwork on the employee, that doesn't prevent you from firing him or her. At-will employment can still protect you (as long as you are not in Montana). Especially if you have cause for firing the employee, such as witnessed behavior infractions, repeated tardiness, or poor customer service, then you should be in the clear.
That being said, not having documentation makes it more difficult to defend your position if an employee sues you for discrimination or wrongful termination. If you have no documentation, it may be a good idea to hold off for a few weeks on terminating the employee until you have gathered some documentation. For instance, you could place the employee on a probationary period and document any infractions going forward. A few weeks later, you'll have the paperwork that you need.
What If My Employee is a Protected Class Member (e.g. a minority or over age 40)?
If your employee is in a protected class, you can still terminate the employee. That employee, like any other employee, is at-will.
However, because there are laws around discrimination, it's even more important to make sure you document problems with the employee's performance. If the employee is the only member of his or her class at your business, be extra thorough so that the reason for the termination is crystal clear to any independent person. Try to think if any reasonable person would look at the situation and see that termination was the only solution.
The protected classes are as follows:
- Race
- Color
- Religion
- National Origin
- Age (especially over 40)
- Sex, which now includes gender, gender presentation, and sexual orientation
- Pregnancy
- Citizenship
- Familial status
- Disabilities
- Veteran status
- Genetic information
But what if I have both issues – no paperwork and an employee in a protected class?
We would strongly advise you to consult your attorney here. This is extremely litigious territory, and an attorney can best advise you. For help finding a business attorney, click here.
A best practice is to continually document the employee's performance and infractions in his or her personnel file and make all attempts to coach your employee to success. Then, after you've exhausted that and have cause for termination, proceed as normal.
Once you are in a legally sound position to terminate an employee, you can decide whether to provide severance, compile termination paperwork, and take the next steps that we go through below.
Do I Have to Provide Severance Pay to a Terminated Employee?
No. You are not legally required to provide severance pay to an employee that you terminate.
If you do decide to pay severance, the best practice is to make severance conditional on the employee signing a termination agreement which states that they have been lawfully terminated. It is best to have an attorney draft a termination agreement template for you. This can ease your mind that this entire situation is over.
Although not legally required, severance may be most useful in two situations:
- A salaried/management employee is being let go in a tenuous situation that might not be his or her fault
- A salaried/management employee is being let go after many years with your company (at least 3)
If your employee is in a shift/hourly/part-time position, then severance generally isn't provided unless something else is at play, such as the employee belonging to a protected class.
To expand, severance is essentially the cost of what you want to give someone in thanks for their service, but also to ease your mind that this employee will 'go away' upon termination, with no lingering problems for your business.
Examples of severance policies:
- 4 weeks pay for every year with the company
- Flat amount such as 10-15% of their salary for every year of service
Compiling Termination Paperwork
As mentioned above, it's a good idea to compile as much documentation as you can before firing an employee. This way, if your employee sues for terminating for wrongful reasons, you have some documents to back you up. Below, we get into more detail about the type of paperwork you should try to gather.
Termination Tables by Business Type
Termination paperwork and what is needed can be separated by the two general types of employees:
- Hourly/shift employees
- Salaried/office employees
If you have an hourly/shift employee:

The paperwork mentioned in the tables above can be further broken down into two categories:
- Paperwork you should gather before firing the employee; and
- Paperwork you should bring to the termination meeting with you
Next, we go into more detail on each.
Paperwork Before Termination
If you are in a situation where an employee should be terminated, there ideally should be ample evidence of this issue in the employee's personnel file or paperwork. Documentation could include items similar to the following list below and should be put into the employee's personnel file in advance of your action; this is because an employee, after termination, can ask for his personnel file and is entitled to it by law. Feel free to reference our table above.
If you are like most small business owners, you might have none of the below. That's ok. We address that here.
Documentation might include any or all of the following:
- Documentation of meetings for infractions or performance issues (including dates and times)
- Documentation of verbal warnings for any infractions/ performance issues
- Written warnings for any infractions or performance issues
- Printed out emails supporting any of these problems
- Documentation of any company policy, such as maternity leave, that the employee did not comply with
- A timeline of the events showing decline in performance
- A timeline of, for example, the three strikes (i.e. the 3 dates the employee was grossly tardy, which is now why s/he is being fired)
- A signed employee handbook or policy statement outlining his/her understanding of the rules (if you don't have this- don't worry- the other items above are plenty!)
Next, the second set of paperwork:
Paperwork You Need for the Termination Meeting
For the termination meeting with the employee, you might need the following paperwork; feel free to reference our table above:
- 2 copies of the termination letter (one for your records and one for the employee)
- 2 copies of the termination agreement (Consult your attorney to compose one; this is where severance should be outlined if there is any. While there are templates on the internet, it is prudent to have an agreement by your attorney who knows you best & whose job it is to protect you and your business.)
- 1 copy of COBRA paperwork for the employee (if you offer employee health insurance- there should be a link on your provider's site or ask your broker to email it to you)
- You may need other paperwork depending on your state, which is addressed here.
- If you are doing a layoff, you will need to provide unemployment paperwork, which is unique to each state. Please check your state's government website for more details.
The Termination Meeting: Breaking the News
Before you break the news to the employee, you will need to be aware of the following issues:
- Check your state for paycheck laws and what needs to be present at the meeting
- Check the employee's age; if the employee is over 40, your termination agreement will need to have special clauses and have a certain timeline in order to be aligned with federal law.
Now that you have arrived at the day you are ready to terminate, you will need to find a trustworthy witness who can join in your termination meeting.
If you have a COO or a second in command, that is best for this situation. Do not leave this person in the dark; tell him or her what will be happening and that he or she is expected to escort the terminated employee out. If the individual is uncomfortable with the responsibility, find someone else ASAP and ask them for their confidentiality.
Go to a private conference room or meeting room for the termination meeting, with all the documents needed in front of you (print your speech if you need to). Ask your witness to get Johnny and bring him to the meeting room. There is no need to say why the meeting is taking place; if Johnny asks, your witness can just say "I don't know."
Termination Speech Template
As soon as the door is closed and Johnny is seated, break the news. Ideally, especially if this is your first termination, you should practice what you will say ahead of time. Keep it simple, to the point, and avoid using adjectives, apologies, or disclaimers in your wording. Here's a sample of a Termination Speech Template:
Johnny, we are having this meeting to tell you that your employment is being terminated. I am sure this news is upsetting; however, we need to go over some paperwork with you.
Here we have your official termination letter and a termination agreement for you to sign. If you sign the agreement, you are entitled to severance. This agreement and letter also outline your benefits and how you will get the rest of your pay you are owed through today. Please take the time you need to look it over right now, and you are welcome to take it with you. If you have questions, you are welcome to email myself (or your HR person if you have one) or we can set up a time for a call this week. The deadline for signing is also in these documents. If you do not sign the paperwork, unfortunately, the severance will be unavailable.
Johnny, it is time for you to leave our premises. Tommy here (your witness) is going to provide you a box and will help you clear your things quickly and escort you out. He will also be taking your keys and any other company property you have on hand.
(then stand up to signal for the meeting to be over)
What Might Happen at the Termination Meeting
Things that might happen during the termination meeting and what to do:
- If Johnny interrupts you, ask him to wait until you are finished because this information is important.
- If Johnny gets angry and decides to storm out, have your witness attempt to ask him back into the room. If he refuses to come back in, tell him you will be FedExing him his paperwork today, and he is no longer allowed back into the building.
- If Johnny starts to cry, that is a very normal reaction. Be respectful, and ask if he needs a tissue or a moment. Do not apologize though or qualify the termination with hugs, apologies, or excuses. Stick to the script as best as possible.
- If Johnny refuses to leave, or the situation escalates, call your building's security or 911.
- If Johnny asks for more details on why he is being fired, you can simply ask him to leave. However, if you have clear, undeniable documentation of why, feel free to verbally tell him why (i.e. you were over an hour late four times on 4/4, 5/7, 7/8, and today).
The biggest thing to keep in mind is that you need to get the paperwork to the employee and get the employee off premises. Having a debate with the employee about the why's should not be done at this moment- tempers are high, and nothing good will come from impulsive reactions.
Remember, thanks to at-will employment, you do not owe the employee an explanation. If you would like to have a conversation in the following days once tempers have cooled and termination papers have been signed, that is up to you, and it is advisable to consult your attorney prior to doing so.
What to Do After the Termination
After the meeting is over and the employee has left the premises, we suggest doing the following:
- Call your team into a conference or lunch room and tell them quickly what happened. There is no need to say why; saying that Johnny no longer works here as of today is plenty.
Although you might think this might cause current employees stress and questions about their own job security, it is better to not fuel the rumor mill. Most terminations, especially for behavior or performance, though upsetting, are not a surprise to anyone.
If you can, have something positive to add at the end of the meeting such as a compliment to the team or a big win with a client. Try to end on a good note, and assure your team that they are in a good organization.
- Ensure that IT has shut down all of Johnny's accesses and accounts. If possible, have IT do this while the termination meeting is occurring, if you can trust their confidentiality and are able to stick to the timeline. Make sure Johnny's email is forwarding to another employee or has an autoresponder.
- Figure out who is taking over Johnny's work. Do clients need to know that he no longer works at your business? Craft a simple email announcing the organizational change in a positive way to clients, vendors, or employees who missed the team meeting.
- Clean Johnny's cube or office space within a week to avoid the "ghost" issue. It makes current team members uncomfortable. If there are still personal things in there, put them in a box and email Johnny a time and place to come pick them up in a secure location.
- Perhaps within a week, treat your team to lunch, an afternoon coffee, or a happy hour. Having an event like this may seem a bit fake, but showing people you care after what might have been a big shock can help assuage any doubts that employees may have about their own job security.

Is your gut telling you that you should check on something before you terminate? Then, read our red flag situations below. As always, it is advisable to consult your attorney prior to terminating an employee if you are in one of the below situations.
I don't like my employee and neither does the team. Isn't that enough?
Technically, yes, you can terminate an employee you don't like thanks to the at-will employment clause present in all states (except Montana). However, ensure that your employee is not a victim of discrimination – do you just not like her because she is different? Is her difference related to a protected class (e.g. race or religion)? If so, terminating the employee simply because you don't like her could amount to illegal discrimination. If the employee isn't performing well or has behavioral or other problems, do your best to document performance and behavior before firing the employee.
If you don't like an employee, it could be that the hire was a mistake. Read about how to find great employees so that this mistake does not happen again.
My two employees keep fighting. It's one or the other, I can't afford to lose both. Since they both have been on each other's nerves, it is ok to terminate just the one employee and not the other?
Technically, yes, thanks to the at-will law in the 49 states except Montana. Again, ensure that the employee is not a victim of discrimination. It would be best to terminate the employee who has the weaker performance or is in worse standing behaviorally.
Other options aside from termination would include:
- Having one person change teams, job, shifts, etc…
- Involve other managers on how to resolve this – there may be something you don't know as the business owner
- Mediation between the two parties with documentable actions
Post Mortem – Getting Ahead For Next Time
Once the employee has been terminated, you get a chance to reflect. If you didn't have sufficient paperwork on hand this time around, now is the time to get your house in order so you're ready if you ever need to terminate another employee.
Here are some things you may need:
- Create an Employee Handbook
Why? – Sets clear rules & expectations and helps your employees understand they are at-will.
- Create job descriptions for each role
Why? – Sets clear expectations on what success is.
- Create a Performance Review system
Why? – Employees get feedback on their performance, are given a proper chance to improve, and those who are doing great can also have a system for reward.
- Create a documentation process for employee infractions/Progressive Discipline Policy
Why? – It provides a framework for disciplining poorly performing employees.
It's a good idea to make templates or customizable versions of the paperwork you used for this termination to save time the next time around.
The Bottom Line
Termination is never a pleasant topic. However, there is a right way how to fire an employee and a wrong way, and this article can help get you through a tough situation when you need to fire an employee. Remember that many small business owners confront this issue, and you will get through this.

The ruins of this cashel or stone fort occupy one of the highest spots on this particular hilltop. The walls are only good on the west and north sides, standing to well over 4m in places. The south and east walls have disappeared and have been replaced by a thin burren-style dry stone wall.
The central area is raised at least 1.5m above the surrounding fields. Against the inside of the west wall there are the remains of two buildings, the wall of which stand up to 2m tall in one place.
In the fields immediately to the west and east of the main structure there are a lot of smaller remains, indicating that there was quite an impressive little settlement around the cashel.
This is an explanation of (and a bit of a disclaimer for) the coordinates I provide.
Where a GPS figure is given this is the master for all other coordinates. According to my Garmin these are quite accurate.
Where there is no GPS figure the 6 figure grid reference is master for the others. This may not be very accurate as it could have come from the OS maps and could have been read by eye. Consequently, all other cordinates are going to have inaccuracies.
The calculation of Longitude and Latitude uses an algorithm that is not 100% accurate. The long/lat figures are used as a basis for calculating the UTM & ITM coordinates. Consequently, UTM & ITM coordinates are slightly out.
UTM is a global coordinate system - Universal Transverse Mercator - that is at the core of the GPS system.
ITM is the new coordinate system - Irish Transverse Mercator - that is more accurate and more GPS friendly than the Irish Grid Reference system. This will be used on the next generation of Irish OS maps.

Budget Travel recently named Portland as the world's best place to eat street food, but at just a few years old, food cart culture here can't hold a candle to the ancient art that is the street food of India. My friend Sophie Rahman, who sells classic Indian street cuisine at her Masala booth at the Hollywood Farmers' Market, is offering a class on Chowpatty, the street food of India that she describes as "India's answer to the Pacific Northwest's passion for healthy snack food eaten on the go." Made with Chat-patta spices to create such portable treats as aloo-chaat, bhel-poori and bhajia, they are commonly eaten during the day along with a cool glass of lassi or a cup of spicy chai. She adds that most of the dishes are vegetarian and are made using rice and lentils and rice and lentil flours. Having taken one of Sophie's classes, I can guarantee you'll learn a lot and eat very, very well.

Camelina Oil
Certified Organic & Kosher Certified
- Camelina sativa
- Origin: Denmark
Botanical Name
Camelina sativa
This oil comes packaged in plastic bottles.
Method of extraction
Cold Pressed and unrefined
Suggested use
Food and cosmetic use
Kosher Certified
Camelina Seed oil is very similar to Flax in appearance and properties but it has a more stable shelf life and is not prone to rancidity. This delicious oil can be used for food and cosmetic purposes and contains omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. Great for the skin, hair and eyes, camelina is also popularly used as an oil additive for our animal companion's food. This oil makes an excellent choice for natural cosmetics and hair care formulas.
Considered by many as a weed, it was known as the "gold of pleasure", and is still sold and marketed under this name in some parts of the world. Camelina is a small annual shrub with small pale yellow or greenish yellow flowers. It is referred to as false flax because it is often found growing in flax fields. Traditionally it was used for oil in lamps, and as feed for livestock. Recently, it has been looked at for its viability as a bio fuel alternative to corn and as a nutritional supplement for farm and domesticated animals. Because of its unrefined nature it has a deep color, heavy herbaceous odor and nutty flavor.
