The Alestiidae or African Tetra family is composed of, among others, the genera Alestes, Arnoldichthys, Brycinus, Hemigrammopetersius, Hydrocynus and Phenacogrammus and are exclusively found in Africa.
SIZE: The Alestiidae family includes fish from a great range of sizes. An adult Lepidarchus adonis grows no larger than 3 / 5 " (1.5 cm) while the African Tiger fish ( Hydrocynus goliath ) attains a length of 5'(150 cm).
S: The fish of this family usually swim in the middle water levels.
TANK: The tank size ranges depending on the size of the fish. For most, it should be at least 32"(80 cm) long or 30 gallons (114 L). The tank should be arranged in dark colors and have floating plants to diffuse the light. Many fish of this family are timid, thus hiding places should be provided.
WATER: These fish can tolerate a pH from 6.2-7.8, but prefer neutral water. They like medium to hard water ranging from 4-18 dH, and require a temperature of 72-79°F (22-26°C).
SB: Most Alestids are peaceful, schooling fish that can be kept in a community tank with fish having similar behaviors. However, there are exceptions, the species of the genus Hydrocynus are highly aggressive and predatory fish.
SC: In general, Alestids can be combined with Synodontis , Corydoras, and Loricarid catfish; some South American Characins, gouramis, Mormyrids, and many West African Cichlids.
FOOD: Most fish of the Alestiidae family are omnivorous and will eat most foods. Live; insect larvae, crustaceans, worms, aquatic insects; flakes; freeze-dried.
B: Several species have been bred, nearly all in soft water. Some are very prolific-up to 14,000 eggs being laid at one spawning-while others may lay as few as 20. No species in the Alestiidae Family participate in brood care.
BP: Breeding, if possible, is usually fairly difficult.
R: The fish of the genus Hydrocynus are not aquarium fish!
DC: For the most part, the fish of this family are fairly easy to care for, although frequent partial water changes are recommended for most species.
Congo Tetra, Congo Salmon
Phenacogrammas interruptus
SYN: Micralestesinterruptus, Alestopetersius interruptus, Hemigrammalestes interruptus, Petersius codalus
PD: The Congo Tetra has a laterally compressed body, large eyes, and large scales. The body in reflected light is iridescent green, blue, yellow, and sometimes even violet. the dorsal and caudal fins are transparent to brown, while the tail has a white fringe. The fins are elongated and flowing.
SIZE: 5" (13 cm)
SS: Golden Congo Tetra (Phenacogrammas aurantiacus ), Black Banded Congo Tetra( P. huloti )
HAB: Western Africa; Zaire (Congo) River watershed
S: bottom, middle
TANK: 32" (80 cm) or 30 gallons (114 L). Adult fish should be kept in a 40"(122 cm) or 45-55 gallon (170-209 L) tank. The tank should be well-planted with a cover of floating plants to diffuse the lighting. Leave open swimming areas. Use good filtration to keep the water clean.
WATER: 6-7.5 (6.7); 4-18 dH (7); 73-82°F (23-28°C)
SB: The Congo Tetra is a peaceful fish recommended for most community tanks. Do not combine this African Tetra with fish that have a fin-nipping nature. The Congo Tetra can be kept in pairs orin schools.
SC: Peaceful Synodontis, Pelvicachromis, South American tetras, Corydoras, Discus, Glass Catfish.
FOOD: The Congo Tetra is occasionally a timid eater that may not eat when it feels uncomfortable. Live; insect larvae, brine shrimp, aquatic insects, Tubifex ; flakes; vegetable matter.
SEX: Male is larger and more colorful. Males have elongated dorsal, anal, and caudal fins
B: A pair should be kept in heavily planted tank with soft water. Feed the pair a varied diet of mosquito larvae, blood worms, and brine shrimp. Courtship is initiated by the morning sun or bright light. A pair will spawn in the shallows and will drop 300 eggs. Remove the pair after the spawning is complete. The eggs develop a hard shell before hatching. Fry hatch in six days. Start feeding with brine shrimp nauplii and Infusoria.
BP: 8. Congo Tetras are challenging fish to breed.
R: The Congo Tetra is a timid and easily frightened fish. It is sensitive to noise and water pollutants. Frequent partial water changes are required for the Congo Tetra to thrive.

DOTr and LTO receives initial batch of plates
The issue with the supply of license plates seems to be a never-ending story for the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and has been going on since the last two presidential administrations. However, the LTO may have already started to finally put an end to this nightmare.
Just recently, Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary, Jaime Bautista, together with LTO officer-in-charge Atty. Hector Villacorta, received the initial shipment of 108,400 motor vehicle plates that are ready for stamping from Trojan-Tonnjes Joint Venture – the winning bidder to supply the nation's license plate requirements.
PHP 1.4B savings
According to Bautista, the government was able to save PHP 1.4 billion of tax payer's money because the plates only cost PHP 3.8 billion versus the initial PHP 5.2 billion.
"These [license] plates, our procurement cost us almost PHP 3.8 billion. In fact, we're very happy to inform everyone that because of transparent bidding, we are able to generate savings based on the approved estimate of PHP 5.2 billion. So, we were able to achieve PHP 1.4 billion in savings through this procurement," said Bautista.
16 million backlog
While this is definitely good news, we might not see the end of the license plate backlog within the next few months. According to DOTr, the total number of blank plates acquired by the agency from Trojan is 16,040,640 to address the ongoing backlog by the LTO.
Trojan, is committed to delivering a minimum of 60,000 blank plates to the LTO weekly. If our math is right, this means the LTO still expects 15,932,240 blank plates and with Trojan's 60,000 deliveries every week, the backlog should be over in about 5 years - that is if the LTO can keep up with the stamping of plates.

Iconfinder designer report Q1 2021
Invoking the superpowers of the icon designer community
We live in extraordinary times when our lives are shaken up and our routines readapted by forces out of our control. This is the time of staying at home, of exchanging personal gatherings with virtual ones, or of exploring the great outdoors when possible. It is the golden age of food delivery and online shopping, and perhaps the digitalisation of all that had remained face to face until now.
Like any other new situation, it doesn't come unaccompanied, but brings along joy and bitterness alike: cleaner air, more silence, the rediscovery of love for cooking, time to read the books earlier put aside, growth for some businesses, loss for some others, more family time for some, less for some others, definitely fewer hugs, more loneliness, more disconnection, a larger need for self-care and for good mood.
In this unfamiliar reality, we keep looking for ways to bridge the gaps that have formed between us, by using the tools and talents each of us have. You don't have to be a doctor or a nurse to make a difference when you have an equally important superpower: designing the language that everybody understands. And what better moment to make that language uplifting, inspiring, hopeful, positive, rich, and diverse?
By sharing data and news from the icon market, this designer report is an endeavour to guide you to create the icons we all need.
P.S. All data shared in this report is also gathered in this sheet, for easy access.
This report contains:
· Features and improvements for designers at Iconfinder
· The new 3D style
· How 2020 changed what the world searches for
· Most searched keywords of 2020
· Keywords that need more icons
· Missing logos and trademarks
· Subsequent searches as inspiration for sets and better tagging
· Icons that are specific to Q1
Features and improvements for designers at Iconfinder
In spite of a turbulent year 2020, not everything has been bad news. At Iconfinder, we have brought to you some new features and functionalities that can help you as a contributor. In case you missed them, here is a summary of what is new and how it can be useful to you.
New icon search engine
In September, we launched a new search engine for icons. Compared to the previous version, which did not differentiate between the time an icon was downloaded, this new engine gives a higher weight to newer downloads. This way, icons that are recently downloaded will rank higher in the results and the results stay more up to date with the demand trends.
Tip: Uploading the right icons at the right time will give you more visibility than before.
How things are named and labeled has become more important also. Besides tags, whenever customers make a search, we now look in icon set names, family names and designer names when returning the results. For example, a search for "business" will naturally show results of icons tagged with that keyword, but also return icons from sets that have that keyword in the set name — for instance a "Business Essentials" set.
Tip: Be mindful of how you name your sets and icon families. Choose a designer name that is easy to remember and easy to spell.
Read more about the new search engine.
Staff picks
Staff picks (previously called "featured") are icon sets that the Iconfinder team considers of high quality, relevant to current events, and original in their concepts or design. When we feature a set, it ranks higher in the search results, customers can find it when filtering (there is a filter for showing only staff picks), it is published on our Pinterest page (where it receives around 15 million monthly views) and it can be included in recommendation emails to customers. Learn how we choose the Staff picks.
Tip: Striving to create beautiful and unique icons that stand out from the rest can bring you higher visibility and, consequently, higher earnings.
Improved Sales analytics
Earlier in March, we also launched an improved version of the Sales analytics tool, which you have probably already noticed. Here you can more easily check your icons and icon sets ordered by sales for a chosen time period. Additionally, you can also check if there are any tag issues — for instance, if some icons have too few or too many tags. Read more about the updates to Sales analytics.
Tip: Know your best selling icons and your worst selling ones. Create more of what sells and less of what doesn't. Make sure you keep tags between 2 and 7.
The new 3D style
Following the development in 2020, graphic design has shifted in a direction opposite to the world news. When the world feels dark and unfriendly, design shines with all its colours. When we are surrounded by bad news, design becomes bright, heartwarming, and relatable.
Some time ago, we saw the culmination of the flat illustrative style. We are now noticing more and more companies that instead use a cute 3D style for their communication. It can be seen as a response to everybody feeling more distant from each other — an attempt to connect. We expect this new style to be widely adopted in 2021 and occupy the same place as the flat style previously had.
Characteristics of the new 3D style
This new style has some particular traits that make it novel and distinguishable.
- It is created using 3D software: Unlike some past trends which used light and shadow in 2D designs to make them look three-dimensional, these new graphics are drawn using 3D modelling software.
- It uses bright, happy colours: The colour palettes vibrate with positive energy.
- It uses rounded and soft shapes: Plump hands and bodies, rounded corners, all are there to create a safe and friendly environment. There are no sharp edges that can hurt us, especially not sharp elbows, knuckles or knee caps.
- It plays with proportions: Tending to be caricaturesque, objects and characters do not stay true to a realistic appearance. Instead, they generally have larger hands and bodies and a smaller head (or viceversa), which make them appear cute and funny.
- They embrace quirkiness: These designs are not afraid to show their personality as a reminder that we are all eccentric in different ways and that nobody is normal. They might be goofy, clumsy, or childish, like ice-cream too much, or get overly excited about receiving mail. They are not afraid to express themselves and they definitely don't take life too seriously.
How to draw good quality 3D icons
- Get the shapes right: It can be easy to create shapes directly to 3D software, but that might make you overlook the small details like, for example, the anatomy of a hand. It is a good practice to draw the shapes on paper before, to spot what doesn't work.
- Use 3D software: Some software suitable for icon design can be Blender (all platforms), Cinema4d (all platforms), or 3D studio Max (Windows only), but there are many others out there.
- Spend time on perfecting the lights and shadows: 3D objects naturally have light and shadow areas, so you need to spend extra time in getting these right. These are an excellent opportunity to add some magic to your designs.
- Choose good textures: Materials become very important in three-dimensional objects and one common pitfall is having your icons look as if made of plastic. In the example below, the icon on the left looks like a plastic doll, with hard materials. The icon on the right has a soft-looking skin and a specific texture for the hair; notice the material of the sweater and the reflection on the glasses.
- Get the right level of detail: These icons are often used for landing pages or as the main element in apps, so they need to work well in larger sizes — aim around 1024x1024, but think that the icons should be simplified enough so that they keep working well when scaled down.
Here is another example of a slightly different approach to 3D from Github's new homepage.
As a side note, even though this is a trendy new design style, it does not mean that other icon styles are not relevant anymore. The 3D has its own particular application, whereas the other styles keep being very important in other contexts.
How 2020 changed what the world searches for
The corona pandemic not only created a demand for new icons related to the virus, social distancing, hand washing or wearing masks, but also directed our attention to new topics like mental wellbeing and the emergence of an 'untact' economy. Let's see what the search data from Iconfinder shows about these.
Corona-related searches
Here is an overview of the corona-related searches during the entire year 2020. They reached a peak during March and April and have been slowing down since, with a slight upwards trend in November. These sum up to around 10,000 searches per month.
In the last few months of the year, searches for the keyword "vaccine" have doubled.
Mental wellbeing
2020 has also been a year of looking inwards and of taking care of ourselves first amidst a sea of negative news. We noticed a growing trend in searches for keywords such as "psychology", "mental health", "anxiety", "loneliness", "mental wellbeing", "self care" and similar.
Below are charts showing the evolution of searches for specific keywords in 2019 and 2020. We are seeing how the interest in some topics has doubled over time.
We have already seen some good examples of sets on these topics uploaded to the Iconfinder marketplace that help spreading positivity.
Ideas for other sets can be: understanding emotions or emotional intelligence, healthy habits, the new normal, staying in touch with friends and family, remote work, among others.
Untact — the new term for the Covid economy
When looking at the search data, we noticed a new word standing out from the rest, for which we didn't have any icons: 'Untact'. Becoming popular in South Korea, the term refers to an economy without personal contact, as a consequence of the pandemic and of the measures to minimise the virus spread.
According to this news article from the BBC, the definition of untact is:
'Untact' — a combination of the prefix 'un' and the word 'contact'. It describes doing things without direct contact with others, such as using self-service kiosks, shopping online or making contactless payments. Some believe this is a natural progression in a modern society like South Korea, which combines robotic baristas, virtual make-up studios and digital financial transactions with an ageing population and a shrinking labour force.
The news article offers inspiration for new icon set themes — untact economy and society, untact delivery, untact meetings and social gatherings, remote healthcare and social services, social services during covid, digital inclusivity, digital literacy for the elderly etc.
We already have some good examples of sets on these themes, as the one below.
Most searched keywords of 2020
The table below presents the keywords that Iconfinder visitors searched for during 2020, ordered from most searches to least.
The most interesting keywords for you are those with a supply-demand ratio lower than 1. These are the ones with fewer icons than searches, so there are opportunities to add more icons.
Keywords that need more icons
From the keywords above, we only selected those with a supply-demand ratio lower than 1, which means they offer better opportunities to add icons. The keywords at the top of the list are those with the fewest icons.
Apart from adding more icons, these are also an invitation for better tagging. In some cases, we already have the icons, but customers cannot find them with their searches — for example "3 dots" or "step 1".
Missing logos and trademarks
Customers are sometimes looking for original and up-to-date logos and trademarked elements on Iconfinder. We compiled a list of searches of this nature for which we don't have any icons. These icons need to be offered as free downloads, yet they will nevertheless attract customers to your icon shop.
Subsequent searches as inspiration for sets and better tagging
Customers refine their searches. This means they search for something first and then they change the keyword to something else and make a second search.
There are 2 types of subsequent searches:
Type 1. Complementary keywords: These are icons that customers want to buy together. For example, "phone" and "email", or " download" and "upload".
Tip: Use these as inspiration for what icons to include in the same icon set or icon family.
Type 2. Synonym keywords: These are keywords that customers use to find the same icon. Some examples are "money" and "cash", "file" and "document".
Tip: Use these to tag your icons better.
The table below shows the combinations of subsequent searches on Iconfinder, from most searches to least.
To make it easier to use, we re-grouped the subsequent searches by the first search term in the table below.
Icons that are specific to Q1
In Q1, we expect a demand for icons related to several events such as:
- Chinese New Year — February 12. Relevant keywords can be: 'chinese new year', 'cny', 'lunar new year', 'chinese zodiac', 'year of the ox', 'prosperity', 'reunion dinner', 'pineapple tart' etc. Read more about relevant keywords and concepts for the Chinese New Year.
- Valentine's Day — February 14. Relevant keywords are: 'valentine's day', 'love', 'romance', 'gift', 'cupid', 'chocolate' etc.
- Carnival — end of February (dates vary for each country). Relevant keywords are: 'carnival mask', 'carnival costume' etc.
- Spring — starting in March. Relevant keywords can be: 'spring', 'blossoms', 'flowers', 'renewal', 'sakura', 'sakura festival'.
- Easter — April 4. Relevant keywords can be: 'easter', 'easter egg', 'happy easter', 'egg hunt', 'easter bunny' etc.
For all these events, icon searches start in advance, so it is a good idea to be early at uploading seasonal icons. The graph below shows how the number of searches for the seasonal keywords evolved during the quarter.
*the dates for some festivities vary every year. The graph shows data for 2020 (Chinese New Year was on January 25, and Easter was on April 12).
Diversity is important when creating icons for seasonal festivities. Whenever the sets include people, pay attention to not limiting yourself to one type of person, but stay open to different skin colour, age, gender, profession, ethnicity, culture etc. whenever it makes sense. To learn more about this topic, check out The issue of diversity in icon design.
We hope that this report has given you some clarity and new inspiration for what icons to create in the first quarter of 2021. We look forward to seeing your superpowers in action.
This report is part of a series that is released every quarter. It crunches data on supply and demand on the Iconfinder marketplace, hoping to lead designers to create the right icons.
All data shared in this report is also gathered in this sheet, for easy access. Icons featured here are from the Saly-3D set by Alzea.

Accidental: Courier-ista • My New Role • Bearer of bad news • Bearer of good news • Trainer • Banker
Accidental: Courier-ista • My New Role • Maintain Materials • Communication • Website editor
Accidental: Courier-ista • Goals • To secure a predictable and reliable service • To secure a predictable and stable price • To ensure safety and timeliness
Importance • In a time of decreasing library budgets, interlibrary loan helps ensure patrons have access to materials even if their local library can't provide it. • The cost of sending items can often be prohibitive to all types of libraries.
Importance • Courier services can reduce the cost of shipping ILLs. • They can also help connect you to libraries you may not be currently using as borrowing partners.
Importance • Many libraries see reductions in their workflow due to the ease of packaging and sending items via a courier as opposed to traditional mailing via the United States Postal Service, UPS, FedEx, etc.
Importance • Libraries who join a courier service often see an increase in ILLs, as shipping becomes easier and less expensive for both the library and the patron.
Types of Services • Hosted and run by a library • Hosted and run by a consortium • Own the vehicles • Own the bags and bins • Hires drivers directly • Creates their own policies and procedures
Types of Services • Hosted by a library run by a vendor • Hosted by a consortium run by a vendor • Vendor might own the vehicles • Library or Consortium might own the bags and bins • Vendor might employ their own drivers • Vendor might contract out for drivers • Library or Consortium might create their own policies and procedures or are subject to the vendors
Justifying Services There are some simple things to consider if you are trying to determine whether your library is a good candidate for a courier service or if you are justifying your membership in a courier service.
Justifying Services • Amount of ILLs sent yearly • Average cost of shipping and packaging • Importance of delivery speed • The total cost of the service
Justifying Services Generic Public Library – Example • The courier service costs $5,000 for 5-day a week delivery. • Generic Public sends an average of 2500 ILLs annually. • Turn-around time is not huge factor since public library patrons can generally wait a week or more
Justifying Services • Generic Public Library – Example • Low Cost estimate of shipping via USPS • $3.98 per package • Includes the cost of the packing materials • Reminder that this library sends 2500 ILLs packages yearly • So for USPS the cost would be annually $9,950
Justifying Services • Generic Public Library – Example • Side by side comparison • USPS annual cost: $9,950 ($3.98 x 2500) • Courier annual cost: $5,000 ( 5 day flat rate) • Difference : $4,950
Justifying Services Academic Library – Example • The courier service costs $5,000 for 5-day a week delivery. • Academic Library sends an average of 6500 packages annually. • Turn-around time is a huge factor since these patrons cannot generally wait a week or more.
Justifying Services Academic Library – Example • Side by side comparison • USPS annual cost: $25,870 ($3.98 x 6500) • Courier annual cost: $5,000 ( 5 day flat rate) • Difference : $20,870
Justifying Services In the Alliance: In the last year the courier transported over 305,000 packages! USPS: $1,204,750.00
Justifying Services In the Alliance: In the last year the courier has shipped over 305,000 packages! Courier: $403,464.00
Justifying Services In the Alliance: In the last year the courier has shipped over 305,000 packages! Difference: $801,286.00
Assessment of Service • Questions to ask your Courier Manager • Are lost & damaged items covered? • What is the average transit time? • Is a different packaging or labeling system required?
Assessment of Service: • Weight • Volume • Stop • Gas • Construction • Weather • Etc…
Assessment of Service • A growing trend in courier services is connecting to outside courier networks. • For instance, the Trans-Amigos Express serves Texas, Arkansas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. • They connect to three outside courier services serving Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Illinois.
Assessment of Service • Those connections add up to 650+ additional libraries that can be reached through the courier for no additional charge. • This allows for a much larger reach and more cost savings for libraries.
Assessment of Service • Those connections can also take a much longer time to send and receive items, as they often involve items changing hands multiple times
Assessment of Service • The delay may mean that these connections are only valuable for returning items or for sending items that are not time sensitive.
Assessment of Service • Furthermore, many agreements between courier services do not provide for reimbursement in the case of lost or damaged items.

Browning Model BSS B-S/S Sidelock Grade II 12GA SxS 26″ Double Shotgun 1983
Make: Browning
Model: B-S/S Sidelock Grade II
Serial Number: 01069PX918
Year of Manufacture: 1983
Gauge: 12 Gauge, 2 ¾" Shells
Action Type: Top Lever Break Side by Side (SxS) with Double Triggers and Ejectors
Markings: The left side of the left barrel is marked ""BROWNING ARMS COMPANY MORGAN, UTAH & MONTREAL P.Q. / MADE IN JAPAN" and the right side of the right barrel is marked "B-S/S SPECIAL STEEL 12 GA. SHELLS – 2 ¾"". The lug that retains the forearm is marked "2" on the right. The underside of the left barrel is marked with a "3" and the underside of the right barrel is marked with a "4". The left barrel flat is marked with an "H" contained in an interrupted circle, "01069", a circled "SP" proof with three line at the top, "NP", "12", "26"" and "**" denoting Modified choke. The right barrel flat is marked with an "H" contained in an interrupted circle, circled "SP" proof with three line at the top, "NP", "12", "26"" and a double "**-" denoting Improved Cylinder choke. The inside of the forearm hardware is marked "01069". The left water table is marked with an "H" in an interrupted circle and the serial number. The underside of the receiver is marked with a circled "R" over "BrowninG" with scroll engraving on the trigger guard, throughout the receiver, and barrel latch lever.
Barrel Length: 26"
Choke: The right barrel is choked Improved Cylinder and the left barrel is choked Modified.
Weight: 10 lbs, 1.7 oz
Sights / Optics: This shotgun is mounted with a flattened steel bead front sight.
Stock Configuration & Condition: The stocks are checkered walnut with a splinter forearm, straight grip and comb, and checkering at the rear of the buttstock. The checkering appears unmarred and there are no chips, cracks or scratches in either stock. There are a few sparsely scattered compressions and draglines, the most notable being on the right side of the buttstock. If the condition of the wood wasn't so nice, these marks might not even warrant mention. The LOP measures 14 1/4" & 13 1/8" from the fronts of the triggers to the back of the buttstock. The drop at the comb is about 1 5/8" and the drop at the heel is about 2 1/2". The stocks rate in about Fine-Plus overall condition.
Type of Finish: Blue Barrels & Coined Receiver
Finish Originality: Original
Bore Condition: The bores are bright. There is no erosion. In this writer's opinion, the bores rate 10/10.
Overall Condition: This shotgun retains about 97% of its metal finish. The barrels and receiver show sparse light marks. The screw heads are sharp. The markings are clear. Overall, this shotgun rates in about Fine-Excellent condition.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly and the automatic safety is applied upon moving the top lever. We have not fired this shotgun. As with all previously owned firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None.
Our Assessment: The Browning Side by Side or BSS as it's known is famous for reliability and longevity. They are almost impossible to wear out. Browning BSS sidelock was offered from 1983-1987. Even though these Holland & Holland-pattern side-by-sides were very well made, they weren't big sellers. This example was manufactured in 1983 and shows more signs of storage wear than shooting. It has double triggers and the safety engages automatically upon opening the gun. It balances just ahead of the barrel hinge and points well with its 26" barrels. This would make a great field gun for the larger upland birds and a great cowboy action shooting side-by-side, if you were willing to subject this nice shotgun to such hard use. Please see our photos and good luck!

Friendship Day 2019: 10 Unique gift ideas for your friends!
Here are 10 gift ideas that might help you while selecting the perfect Friendship Day gift is being celebrated on August 4.
Trending Photos
Friendship Day is celebrated every year on the first Sunday of August. This year, the date happens to be 4th, which is today. Many people are busy planning their perfect day out with buddies while some with to make it extra special by showers gifts on their friends. All of us have our own, different ways of letting our friends know just how much they mean to us. After all, the beauty of friendship is hard to put in words and even harder to express.
Here are some last-minute gift ideas that might help you while selecting the perfect Friendship Day gift:
Say how much they mean to you with 'A Poem'
Nothing can bring out the beauty of your friendship better than a heartfelt poem. Here's one such poem that you can gift your friend in the form of a scroll and watch his/her face light up!
"I have your back and you got mine,
A friend like you is hard to find,
You're the person I go to when life gets hard,
You pull me out of miseries, heal my scars.
You're the one I seek when I need a solution,
You have a way out of almost every confusion.
You're the ray of hope when it gets dark,
Like the last surviving son of Stark,
It has always been a pleasure to spend time with you,
My partner in crime, words to define you are few.
Let's just say we make up a great pair,
A very Happy Friendship Day, my dear!"
Treat their taste buds with Home- Made Oreo Cake (simple, in under 10 mins)
Is your friend a big foodie? Gift him/her an Oreo cake made by you and we're sure it'll be the best gift ever! All you need is take some Oreo biscuits (about 2 Big packets) and one cup milk. Blend these two together in a blender or a mixer grinder then pour the batter on to a greased, microwave proof bowl. Put the cake in a microwave for almost 6 minutes and bingo! Your cake is ready. Decorate it with gems and some chocolate syrup if you like.
Help them binge-watch with Netflix
If you two Netflix and chill a lot, and if your friend is a serious TV watcher, what could be better than a free subscription? Gift your friend a free Netflix subscription and we guarantee he/she will love you forever! You might want to hurry up though, the best of shows are already streaming!
Help them get the best of things via Shopping Vouchers
This one is especially for all the girls out there. Not that guys can't shop, they do of course, but it's a fact that women are more prone to shopping. So gift your girl- friend with free shopping vouchers and watch her happier than ever before!
A Pet is the best way to say 'you mean a lot to me'
If you friend stays with his/her family, you might want to get confirmation from her/his parents first. Once done, a pet would be the perfect gift if your friend is an animal lover. Cat, Dog, or even a bird! Anything will spread smiles and love.
A Letter inside a photo frame is cute!
While a picture of you and your friend inside a photo frame is quite common, we decided to give this idea a twist. How about a letter inside a fancy photo frame? Sounds cool, right? Go on and start writing down your thoughts in a beautiful handwriting on a plain piece of paper. You can write about some of your best memories - what you like the most in your friend, some inside jokes and so on. Once the letter is ready, buy the perfect photo frame and combine the two.
A Friendship Day video montage will make them smile
If you know a bit of video editing, this is the most trending yet unique gift for your friends. Make a video montage of some of your best pictures or videos, add in some special effects, music and voila! Another perfect gift for your friend is all set. You can also use the poem given at the top in your video.
Remind them of the best moments with a Photo Collage
Camera clicked, developed photos will be the best pick. You can also use printouts of some of your pictures together. Take a big chart paper and arrange all the photos in the form of a collage. You can write a few quotes on friendship too.
Huge supply of coffee for your caffeine addict friend!
If your friend is a coffee lover, there's no better gift than a big bag of coffee for her.him. Pick out some of her.his favourite coffee brands and gift her/him a big pouch of each brand. Combine these together in a huge bag and we're sure they won't be able to thank you enough.
Nothing better than X-Box/ Play Station Game DVD's for the gamers
Got a gamer friend? Make her/his dreams come true by gifting her the X- Box DVD that he/she always wanted. Nothing is more precious to a gamer than gaming DVDs.
Now that we've given the ideas, get started and put them to use!

A World of Summer Possibilities on Display in the SHS Cafeteria
- Category: Schools
- Published: Wednesday, 18 January 2023 15:06
- Tyler Hughson
What's your fantasy summer activity? SHS parents and students explored a world of possibilities at the Scarsdale High School Summer Activities Fair held on the evening of Tuesday, January 17th in the SHS cafeteria.
During the fair, an impressive crowd of students and parents came to walk around and learn about nearly 50 summer programs, ranging from student travel, adventure, language immersion, sports program, academic enrichment and even a nationwide tour of amusement parks for those who love to ride roller coasters.
Organized by the Scarsdale High School PTA, the event include food, coffee and even music played by students from the School of Rock in White Plains
Liz Hoexter who co-chaired the event for the PTA had this to say, "The SHS PTA has hosted the Summer Activities Fair annually for many years. It is a wonderful annual tradition at SHS. It has been a big success and the community looks forward to attending it year after year, as it's an amazing clearinghouse of diverse summer activity vendors for parents & students alike to find wonderful summer programs."
"Personally, I am so happy we could bring back the fair after the 3 year Covid hiatus. I attended annually in the past with my 3 kids and loved it. As we started planning last fall, Covid presented a unique challenge as we encountered a bunch of former vendors who went out of business due to the pandemic. Thus, we were tasked with uncovering a new, diverse array of vendors through a ton of networking and research. Plus, we decided it would be a good add to include some local day camps, as many high school students are interested in seeking summer jobs."
"The fair was a huge success and I'd estimate easily several hundred attended. Many parents personally told me how happy they were to see the fair back & so well attended! The Summer Discovery owner Bobby Musiker, one of our vendors, personally told me this was the best SHS fair he's been to (& 'SHS has the best fairs'). The cafeteria was jam packed for most of the evening. Vendors were saying they ran out of brochures and scored many signups. Many of our nearly 50 programs asked us on the way out to please include them on our list next year! I'm sure the free Ramblin' Coffee truck didn't hurt!"
Some notable summer programs include:
Thrill Coaster Tours - A summer program where teens get to visit amusement parks all over the country and ride cool roller coasters.
Rustic Pathways - Students can travel to over 20 different countries across the globe. During that time, students can sightsee unique locations and participate in community service projects.
Barnard Pre-College Programs - Experience a summer in New York City at Barnard. Students can take various classes while living and tasting life in the city.
Tennis: Europe and North America - Teens from all over the country will get to travel to different parts of America and Europe, meet new people, and improving their skills at tennis.
School of Rock White Plains - Kids at any music level practice together in a band, are taught popular music, and by the end of the camp, get to perform a live rock show. School of Rock White Plains offers both summer and year-round experiences.
Columbia Climate School - Provides an ivy league education to teens passionate about the environment. The program is a two-week experience based at Vermont State University to drive impact in response to global warming.
Caribbean Sailing - Students aged 11-18 learn about sailing and seamanship while living with other teens aboard a 50-foot yacht. Not only that, but students will get to explore the British Virgin and Leeward Islands, scuba and snorkel in the ocean, watersports, and more.

When Do Your Breasts Start to Hurt During Pregnancy?
Preparing for Many Months of Many Changes
During pregnancy, your body will go through an amazing amount of changes, from the time of conception right through to the birth of your baby—and beyond! Although your breasts might start to feel like an entity all their own, the changes they go through are normal and are helping your body care for and prepare for your baby.
When the Tenderness Kicks In
Nine Months Pregnant With Sore Breasts
Learn More
Breast sensitivity is often one of the earliest signs of pregnancy. It's caused by your changing hormones, specifically, progesterone and estrogen. You may begin to notice your breasts becoming tender around weeks four to seven. This soreness may continue throughout your first trimester, but ease off as your hormones balance. A supportive bra may help relieve the discomfort, and you might even decide to wear one while you're sleeping. If you find underwire uncomfortable, try a cotton bra instead. Cool compresses or a warm bath may also give your breasts with some relief. It's also important for your partner to understand how to touch you gently and to even be careful when hugging you.
Other Changes
Your breasts go through many changes during your pregnancy, and tenderness is just one of them. During the first few weeks of pregnancy, you may find your nipples standing out more than usual and that they are another source of tenderness. The area around your nipples, the areolas, may begin to change in color. It's not uncommon for them to become darker in addition to becoming larger. This color may persist after childbirth or may return to your pre-pregnant appearance. You also may notice an increase in the number of veins that show below the surface of the skin on your breasts. This is no cause for alarm; on the contrary, these veins are carrying nutrients to your baby.
You can expect your breasts to increase in size during your pregnancy. Growth can begin as early as your first trimester and may continue into your final trimester. This is a result of increased fat stores; later, they're larger because they're producing milk. The changing size of your breasts may result in stretch marks. The growth can also cause your skin to become itchy. Using lotion may help alleviate the itch.
During your third trimester, your breasts may begin to leak colostrum, which is the nutrient-rich first milk your body produces. It's a pale yellow color. You can begin using breast pads to keep your clothing dry during leaks.

Hello, and welcome to another edition of The Monitor, WIRED's entertainment news roundup. Once again, the coronavirus is dominating the conversation in the pop culture world. Who's talking about it? Well, Elton John, J. K. Rowling, and Disney, for starters. Let's get going.
Disney Is Donating 100,000 N95 Masks to Covid-19 Relief Efforts
Following the closures of its parks in the US due to coronavirus, Disney announced this week that it is donating 100,000 N95 masks to the states of New York, California, and Florida. The Mouse House is also donating 150,000 rain ponchos to the humanitarian organization MedShare in the hopes that they can protect clothing and prolong the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Relatedly, Bob Iger, the Disney CEO who recently stepped down, announced that he will be forgoing his salary amid the Covid-19 crisis.
J. K. Rowling Wants to Help Your Bored Kids Stuck at Home
If you have kids and you're following stay-at-home orders, chances are you're all struggling to stay entertained. There are online storytimes, online drawing classes, and homeschooling, sure, but those things only fill so many hours. For Potterheads looking for something else to do, J. K. Rowling is here to help. Harry Potter at Home is a new subsite of the Wizarding World online hub that's full of puzzles, articles, quizzes, and other Potter pastimes designed to help cooped up kids. "Parents, teachers, and carers working to keep children amused and interested while we're on lockdown might need a bit of magic," Rowling said in a tweet announcing the site.

Elton John Threw a Living Room Concert and Raised $8 Million for Covid-19
Last Sunday, Elton John hosted a "Living Room Concert for America"—a series of livestream performances from artists including Billie Eilish, Mariah Carey, and Dave Grohl. The event, which aired on Fox and iHeartMedia, encouraged viewers to support Feeding America and First Responders Children's Foundation and ultimately ended up raising some $8 million for coronavirus relief. Not bad for a "living room concert" that looked like it was filmed in John's kitchen.

1 Answer
Ok. This is frequent issue with Magento 126.96.36.199 I don't know why? Try this. Go to code/core/Mage/Customer/Model/Customer.php
find validate()
method in this method find
$confirmation = $this->getConfirmation();
Replace it with
$confirmation = $this->getPasswordConfirmation();
Simple.. Also, If you have not overridden Customer Model then do it. else make change directly in the Mage files.
Here are some link on this issue-
Try this and let me know once again, if work mark ans as read
Hi Anup, thank you for your answer. In the code/core/Mage/Customer/Model/Customer.php file I have start with line 844 <pre><code> $confirmation = $this->getPasswordConfirmation(); if ($password != $confirmation) { $errors[] = Mage::helper('customer')->__('Please make sure your passwords match.'); } so the modification is there, so no success– RobertFeb 16, 2016 at 13:55
please take a look here this is the problem, i put there a lot of informations about this error: magento.stackexchange.com/questions/101750/…– RobertFeb 16, 2016 at 14:07
1My opinion is that exist two fields, maybe this fields can't saved in database, but i don't have any idea how to check this.– RobertFeb 16, 2016 at 14:12
Hey, try to search with "**field is required fields" see where it is coming from. Also, add your code of validate function(). Please let me know are you using custom theme? You have any other Model of Customer in your local code? Feb 17, 2016 at 5:40
Problem Solved- See this link- magento.stackexchange.com/questions/101750/… Thanks To Robertd. Feb 17, 2016 at 5:45

On 10th of February Liubov Cherkashchenko defended her doctoral thesis "New insights into alphaviral nsP2 functions" for obtainig the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ( in Biomedical Technology)
Supervisior: professor Andres Merits, University of Tartu
Opponent: Dr. Jelke Fros, Associate Professor, Wageningen University (Netherlands)
Over the last decades, the intensive studies of factors/activities responsible for multiple aspects of alphavirus infection have been performed. In particular, our understanding about structures and functions of viral RNA replicase and its components has significantly increased. Novel findings emphasize that one of the first and most essential event in alphavirus infection is processing of the ns polyprotein carried out by its nsP2 region and an individual nsP2; this process not only ensures the release of functional replicase subunits but also determines would these proteins form the active RCs or not. Thus, it is increasingly evident that nsP2 is one of the "main driving forces" of successful RNA replication. Furthermore, due to its versatile functions and various activities nsP2 is involved in other aspects of infection. It is one of the key determinants associated with activation as well as counteracting of antiviral response in infected cells. Therefore, different modifications of the protein, including point mutations, often have drastic impact on alphavirus infection. However, much of the precise mechanisms of P2 action remain enigmatic. What is clear is that nsP2 does not act alone, its activities are modulated by other components of viral replicase.
The current study allowed us to identify and confirm new functions and properties of nsP2 and alphavirus RNA replicase. The general conclusions of this study can be presented as follows:

After the shortest tenure of any British prime minister, Liz Truss resigned last month after just a fleeting 44 days in office. She made the decision following a chaotic chain of events, such as sky-high mortgages, a slump in the pound and the loss of our longest-reigning monarch – which resulted in 10 days of Government activity being paused, making her days in power even briefer. As the pound begins to rise again (at the time of writing) and the public compares Truss' time as PM to that of a wilting, 60p Tesco iceberg lettuce, the nation was, once again, left in a momentary period of uncertainty prior to the succession of Rishi Sunak.
While Truss will be remembered for her impact on housing, specifically for first-time buyers and private renters, many from the construction industry have already stressed that Sunak must act urgently to increase supplies of housing and stabilise interest rates.
Whilst this resignation has resulted in a last-minute change in content plans in this month's edition of FC&A, we continue to bring you the latest news from other areas of the industry. Once again, sustainability runs through the pages of this issue, with a focus on roofing systems. On page 26, Sarah Peake, Sustainability Manager at Sika UK, talks about sustainability regulations and initiatives affecting architects and specifiers and the roofing systems that can meet their requirements.
Elsewhere, turn the page to page 28 to learn more from Ross Finnie, Sales Director at SIG Design & Technology (SIG D&T), about a new type of roof that combines the power-generating benefits of a solar roof with the biodiversity gains of a green roof.

Advisory and brokerage firm Prestwick Mortgage Group is out with three new mortgage-servicing rights (MSR) offerings for agency loan pools valued in total at $2.6 billion.
One of those MSR offerings involves a Ginnie Mae loan pool of 7,591 mortgages with valued at $2 billion based on the unpaid principal balance. The package is being marketed with Prestwick's strategic partner, San Diego-based Mortgage Capital Trading (MCT) on behalf of an "independent mortgage banker."
The average note rate for the loan pool is 3.7%, with an average servicing fee of 0.3693%, the MSR bid documents show. The average delinquency rate for the loans in the pool stands at 14.1% — which includes loans 30 days past due and foreclosures. Bids are for the MSR offering— comprised of loans originated in Colorado, Texas and the Southeast — are due Oct. 6.
"Ginnie Mae loans tend to have, or tend to be more delinquent than conventional products," said Azad Rafat, MSR senior director at MCT, in a prior interview. "On average, the rate of delinquency is about two times as much as the conventional product."
Ginnie Mae makes it possible for lenders to originate qualifying mortgages that they can then securitize through the government-sponsored agency. Ginnie, however, guarantees only the principal and interest payments to purchasers of its bonds, which are sold worldwide.
The underlying loans carry guarantees, or a mortgage insurance certification, from the housing agencies approving the loans — which include single-family mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
How mortgage companies can add revenue certainty in uncertain times
For mortgage servicers as well as lenders with a healthy servicing portfolio, the changing market environment can be a time to thrive — to expand and strengthen revenue streams outside of just mortgages.
Presented by: Branch
Prestwick also is marketing a separate MSR package on behalf of an unnamed independent mortgage banker that is composed of 1,239 Ginnie Mae Loans valued at $228 million. The average note rate for loans in the pool is 3.857%, with an average servicing fee of 0.3752%, the MSR bid documents show. The average delinquency rate for the loans in the pool stands at 14.9%
Bids are for the MSR offering— comprised of loans originated primarily in Texas and the Midwest — are due today, September 27.
The third MSR package being actively marketed by Prestwick — once again on behalf of an independent mortgage banker — involves a combined Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae loan pool of 1,544 residential mortgages valued at $372 million. The average note rate for the pool is 3.659%, with the servicing-fee strip averaging 0.2548%.
The average delinquency rate for the loan pool is 2.72%. Mortgages from Florida, New Mexico, Ohio and Wisconsin account for more than half of the originations. Bids on the MSR package due Oct. 4, offering documents show.
The current MSR offerings are not outliers by any means. Prestwick has been very active in the MSR market over the past few months, including some big-ticket deals.
In early August, Prestwick and strategic partner MCT, released bid documents for a bulk servicing offering involving a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan pool composed of 5,590 mortgages valued at $1.1 billion, with bids due August 17. The seller was described in the bid documents once again as an "independent mortgage banker."
Later in August, Prestwick unveiled another mortgage-servicing rights (MSRs) offering for a package of 2,544 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans valued at $598 million — with bids due Sept. 8. Prestwick was listed as the exclusive broker, with the seller identified an "independent mortgage banker."
In July, Prestwick, again with MCT as its partner, released bid documents for two separate MSR offerings involving loan portfolios valued at $1.85 billion in total. One of Prestwick's packages on the auction block, offered by a party once again identified in bid documents as "an independent mortgage banker," involved MSRs for a pool of 2,826 Freddie Mac loans valued at $749 million. The other MSR offering involved a combined package of 4,853 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans valued at $1.1 billion — also being offered by a party identified only as an "independent mortgage banker."
Over the first half of 2022, mortgage interest rates rose rapidly — with the Federal Reserve adding rate-bump accelerants to the mix. Consequently, loan-prepayment speeds dropped for lower-rate loans due to diminished refinancing activity. That, in turn, amplified the value of MSRs because the lower-rate loans are expected to pay out over a longer period.
Those dynamics have sparked a dynamic MSR market so far this year, as HousingWire has reported previously.

A four-month-old white Silkie bird was brought to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Pookode with a complaint of lameness and inability to bear weight along with profuse watery diarrhoea for four days. The condition was tentatively diagnosed as Perosis due to mineral deficiency by general physical examination and from clinical signs. The bird was treated with a multi-mineral feed supplement for a period of one week and advised to feed a balanced poultry diet to prevent future recurrence. The bird made an uneventful recovery after treatment.

Need Fabricated Metal Pieces? Use These Pointers
When you need metal components or pieces that aren't commercially available, you'll need a reputable fabrication shop to create the parts you need. Without knowing much about these shops, you may be unaware of issues that regularly arise during this kind of work. Use these pointers along the way to help you.
Ask about Proper Materials
There are many metals to use on your project, and you may want to use the ones you're familiar with when better, more affordable options are available. Steel pieces might be what you need, but you might suggest stainless steel to the fabrication shop when regular cold-rolled steel work work just as well for your needs. Asking the shop about different kinds of metal before fabrication begins could save you money and work out better for your project.
Remember Finishes
It's important that your budget and time frame makes room for finishing that may need to be done on the surface of your pieces or along edges. For example, if your pieces will be subject to constant abrasions, you may need to ask for blackening finish. The shop can offer suggestions about what might be needed for the types of metal pieces you've ordered.
Find Out if Laser Cutting is an Option
Laser cutting allows pieces to be fabricated more quickly. In addition, this process can often eliminate the need for finishing work along the edges because the laser cuts smoothly. A laser might also be preferable because if your design team makes changes or you decide you want something slightly different, the new design is easily uploaded into the laser's software right away so you're not stuck with too many pieces you can no longer use.
Ask About Workflow
It's not enough to know that a fabrication shop can do what you ask of them; you also need to be sure that their completion date fits in with your own project needs. That's why it's important to ask about other jobs happening in the space and whether they are on schedule before you even place your order. Being sure that your pieces will be done when needed can alleviate a lot of other headaches.
When you're able to deal with the issues laid out here, you can get great pieces and complete your work projects on time. Throughout this process, talking regularly with the fabrication shop like Garelick Steel can ensure you get what your company needs.

Talk:Dairy Milker
The Holistic View of the Dairy
When we talk about the dairy milker, we must remember that the system described herein is a basic individual unit called the "bucket milker." There is also a milking system called a "pipeline milker" which transports milk directly to the refrigerated bulk tank using a combination of vacuum and pumps. Milk from bucket milkers must be poured through a filter into the bulk tank whereas milk from a pipeline milker is contained within a closed system which helps prevent contamination. Bucket milkers are good for very small dairies, but tend to be problematic in larger dairies.
It is important to remember that expressing the milk is only the first step toward dairy production. We must then have a place for milk storage (bulk tank), and the capability to process the milk for human consumption (pasteurizer, cheese vat, bottler, etc.). All of this equipment must be taken into consideration when we develop our dairy system. Not only does the dairy need to have equipment meeting Pasteurized Milk Ordinance standards, it also needs to have a building that meets these standards. Compressed Earth Blocks are probably not appropriate for this type of building since creameries are required to have water-impervious walls that can be washed down.

Former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak acted like an "emperor" who orchestrated massive fraud at a former unit of scandal-linked state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), the country's attorney-general said at his trial.
Malaysian prosecutors have begun wrapping up their first case against the ex-premier, who faces seven charges of criminal breach of trust, money laundering and abuse of power linked to alleged transfers of 42 million ringgit ($A14.6 million) into his personal bank account from SRC International, a former 1MDB unit.
Najib, who co-founded 1MDB in 2009, has also been slapped with 35 other offences linked to losses at 1MDB and other state entities.

He has plead not guilty to all charges.
Attorney-General Tommy Thomas said in his closing submissions that Najib had misused his positions as prime minister, finance minister and advisor to SRC International to obtain the funds.
"He could veto meetings, he took all decisions, he was the emperor of the company," Thomas told the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Tuesday.
He said Najib had exercised "ultimate power" to obtain government guarantees on two loans for SRC totalling four billion ringgit, which the prosecutor said was mostly misappropriated.
Defence lawyers have said Najib had no knowledge of the transfers into his accounts and that he was misled by Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low, and SRC's former chief executive, Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, both of whom are at large.
Low, who faces charges in the United States and Malaysia over his alleged central role in the 1MDB case, has consistently denied wrongdoing. Nik Faisal has never commented publicly on the case and could not be reached for comment.
Najib's lawyer, Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, is expected to rebut the prosecution's case on Wednesday, before the case is adjourned.
Trial judge Mohamad Nazlan Ghazali will rule on November 11 on whether to acquit Najib or call for him to enter his defence.

The National Basketball Association's logo, the iconic image of a player dribbling the basketball, is a lasting image in the world of professional sports.
As a child, I was always curious about the player depicted in the photo. Was that a real NBA player? If so, which basketball player appears as the silhouetted logo?
In fact, the image was a real player. A Hall of Famer actually. The logo was a picture of basketball great, Former Los Angeles Laker Jerry West.
Here is the story of how Jerry West became "The Logo".
Looking for a Facelift
In 1969, NBA commissioner J. Walter Kennedy was looking to revamp the league's brand. The league was growing and now contained 14 teams.
Two years prior, however, the NBA began feeling some pressure from an upstart competitor the American Basketball Association (ABA).
Kennedy tasked Alan Siegel to give the NBA the new refreshed look that it needed. Siegel was no stranger to branding a professional sports league as he was responsible for the MLB's iconic logo one year prior.
Siegel was good friends with Dick Schaap, then a sportswriter at the Sporting News, and asked Schaap if he could take a look at the magazine's expansive photo collection for some inspiration.
While searching the photos, Siegel's attention fell upon a particular image of league standout, Jerry West dribbling the ball, and loved it.
In an interview, Siegel said of the image:
"I was attracted to it because it was nice and vertical, and it had him leaning and dribbling… had a little motion to it."
Siegel had some other images in mind – superstars like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, and John Havlicek – but ultimately decided on the West photo.
Once Siegel's decision was made, his team traced its outline and supplanted it in the NBA shield to give us what we have today.
Is The Logo Actually Jerry West?
While it is fairly common knowledge among fans and basketball inner circles alike that the logo is indeed Jerry West, the NBA has never officially recognized him as the official logo.
When Siegel submitted the design, he never mentioned that it was West in the image, but never denied the fact in conversations.
So why was the league so hesitant in recognizing West as the face of the league's "new look"? A big reason is the league's goal at the time was to "institutionalize, rather than individualize" the league's image.
Basketball is the ultimate team sport and in the 60's the idea of one-on-one, or iso, style of play was completely foreign.
Jerry West: "I wish they would change it"
Another interesting wrinkle in the story is that West was never officially told about the logo until it came out and even then wasn't 100% sure that it was him in the picture.
He and Siegel have never spoken at great length aside from a couple of introductions through the years, where Siegel noted West's less than friendly demeanor towards him.
In April of 2017, Jerry West appeared on The Jump, a popular NBA show on ESPN, and shared his thoughts on the matter.
And they may not have been what fans would expect:
"I don't know, I don't like to do anything to call attention to myself, and when people say that, it's just not who I am, period. If they would want to change it, I wish they would. In many ways, I wish they would."
Who Else Was Considered for the NBA Logo
When asked if West had any suggestions on who's image should replace him, he had one. Michael Jordan.
"He's been the greatest player I've ever seen. And I'm probably a harsh judge of talent, in the sense that I admire players that are really good defensive players and really good offensive players. . . . And he made his teams win."
The designer, Alan Siegel, has been asked on countless occasions if he believes the league should update and change their logo and his response has always been an emphatic "NO".
"It's a really elegant, powerful presentation of basketball. It's hard, graphically, to do something that static like this. To have tension in it, movement and grace. It's very hard. I don't believe they should change it. I've done so many sports symbols, and it's hard. You can't have too many images in it. It has to be simple. It has to be powerful. It has to be dynamic. This has all these elements."
This section will answer any large questions about the NBA logo and explain why it's stayed the same for so long.
Who was the NBA Logo Before Jerry West?
There have been many great players in NBA history, but the iconic blue and red logo has always been Jerry West. Alan Siegel first designed it after the hall of famer in 1969, and it's been the same ever since.
Was Michael Jordan Ever the NBA Logo?
No. Though the Jordan symbol is incredibly well-known thanks to his shoe line, the logo has always been Jerry West.
Why is Kobe Bryant Not the NBA Logo?
After Kobe's tragic passing, many players and fans petitioned to make him the new NBA logo. However, it has not changed. That's because the NBA, which has never officially commented on the logo being Jerry West, does not want it associated with a single player.
Will the NBA Ever Change Their Logo?
At this point, it is highly unlikely. The league has been extremely happy with the original logo for decades, and they have said numerous times they are still happy with it. It's also iconic, and changing it would be a big brand shift.
The story of which player is behind the silhouette of the NBA logo is a fascinating one and plays a huge part in the lore of the early days of a league on the rise.
Talks to update the logo haven't been too serious and I, for one, hope they never change it. It is a part of a league that has grown leaps and bounds since it was first introduced during the 1971 season.
The league also has so many other concerns, and the image of the league, now a global powerhouse, is not a top priority for current commissioner David Silver.
One thing that is a priority with the league having the right balance of improving the game that we all love while continuing to honor those who were the pioneers and excelled on the court and help put the NBA on the map.
The indelible image of Jerry West's tall athletic silhouette on the league shield epitomizes the league's vision of celebrating the present while honoring the past.
