Prospect Jam Co.
Rikki Teeters
Prospect Jam Co. is a small business based in Cincinnati. Owner, Emily Hutton, makes small-batch preserves with natural ingredients. We interviewed this new business owner about her delicious jams! Meet Prospect Jam Co. on June 3 at our Summer Maker Mart at Strongwater Columbus!
Tell us about your business (name, location, background, mission, etc.).
Prospect Jam Co. is an artisan preserve company based in Cincinnati, Ohio. We make Copper Crafted, Small-Batch Preserves. PJco specializes in a variety of jams and marmalades with a focus on seasonal and intentionally unique flavors.
We take pride in our process. Our preserves are cooked in copper pots and produced in small batches. By crafting in the traditional French method, we are able to extract only the natural pectin within the fruit itself, without the addition of preservatives. We focus on the details, from the ingredients we use, to our packaging, to how we prepare each fruit before preservation. We believe in sourcing organic and local ingredients when we can.
We're brand new (!) and we're super excited to be a part of the Ohio maker community. You can currently find selections of our preserves at the following retailers in Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio: Pistacia Vera (Columbus), The Rhined, Rooted Juicery, Deerhaus Decor and Mainwood Pastry. Keep a look out for us at local fleas and markets too!
What drew you to your craft?
It has been such an amazing journey and a fairly organic one. Honestly, I needed every stepping stone to get where I am today, and look forward to many more. It started baking beside my grandmother. I always loved being her helper when she let me. I loved everything about the art of baking and its process. The more we spent time in the kitchen together the more I wanted to help out. When it came to settling on a program in college; it was the same commitment to process that came with making, that drew me to visual art. It became clear that working with my hands was how I liked to work, interacting with and touching the materials themselves. I became fond of organic materials specifically, from there, it only made sense that I explore working in clay. I graduated with a BFA in ceramics from The Ohio State University. There, I had been making things out of clay that looked liked edible pastries. I knew it was time to start working in the food industry, in whatever capacity I could get.
I am very fortunate to have connected with two amazing, hard-working, family owned businesses in the years following. Both, The Northstar Cafe and Pistacia Vera, in Columbus provided me with experience in the food world. While balancing teaching ceramics at a small studio and learning the workings of the restaurant, I fell in love with the environment and the hospitality industry. At that point, the opportunity to work full time in the pastry kitchen presented itself, of course I said yes. There I learned everything I could and continued to pursue my interests in food in whatever spare time I had. Eventually, I was given the opportunity to lead a team of people doing the thing I was most passionate about, making things like cake, cookies, dough and jam, as well as creating experiences for our guests.
My husband and I had the opportunity to move to Cincinnati in 2015 and I couldn't say no. The culinary scene here is thriving with independent business and I knew I wanted to be a part of it. The preserve business was a natural transition from the pastry gig, where I had done development for a line of jam and marmalades. The experience I had working with materials and ingredients in the past and the relationship between them, played a role in deciding to pursue my interest in preservation. It's almost as if every batch has its own identity, just as a single platter or mug can have its own. For me, the joy is in nurturing every batch to create something lovely.
What is your favorite thing you have ever made?
I've made a lot of things, in lots of mediums at this point. Many of them on a crazy, conceptual idea. ( i.e. a chocolate molded Barbie filled with rendered bacon fat - not intended for consumption, to be clear, but now that I think about it…) My favorite is a simple brioche dough. I still enjoy baking it and eating it, topped with a little salt and sugar with a PJco seasonal jam. Though, the marmalades tend to be my favorite. In a way, it becomes a variation on the Orange Rolls I used to make with my Grandmother every holiday.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was younger, I had a decent rock collection so naturally I wanted to be a geologist. I spent a lot of time looking at sand underneath microscopes and recording what part of the world it came from and the minerals it was composed of. Looking back, my experiences in some way have shaped who I am and what I do today. I was able to apply my interest in materials to ceramics previously. Now I get to apply the science to ingredients and fruit through cooking and pastry.
What is your creative process?
I'm a Virgo so, lots of list making. Brainstorming combined with shopping at farmers markets and liquor stores for inspiration. I always tell people I build the jam flavors like I would build a cocktail, so that's where the liquor piece come in. It also comes with a fair amount of testing, adding layers of flavors or ingredients and finding the most dynamic, unique and satisfying one. I find a lot of inspiration through travel and the eating experiences I have had and the cocktails I've imbibed.
What advice would you give yourself 10 years ago?
Of course, people say this all the time but truly, you will learn invaluable lessons from making mistakes and experiencing failure. Take those, apply what you have learned and move forward.
Why is it important to support local artists & makers?
My father is an artist, so I grew up around art. Throughout my life, I've continued to surround myself with people that make art in some way, shape, or form. Not only do I appreciate art, but I feel it is important to support artists because those are the people that fuel my own creativity and the communities around them. The makers, whether that be a ceramicist, a chef, a painter or an artisan bread baker, these are the people that help shape the culture within our state and beyond.
Why do you love doing what you do?
I am continuously grateful for the opportunity to get to do what I do. To be a maker. The support I have received from my husband, small business owners, professors and family where they have provided mentorship, education and encouragement is incredible. I love the process, the continuous learning and the explorative nature of being a business owner and jam maker. The cooking part, especially pastry and sweet things, requires intuition and patience. I get to learn and practice both of those too. I get the opportunity to teach and learn about flavors and ingredients simultaneously. I get to continue exploring. I get to share it with others, in hopes of inspiring someone else or simply creating a moment of enjoyment. To be able to share and create an experience through a tiny detail that might be tucked on a cheese board or hidden in a layer of cake. Or maybe the preserve is the star of the show on morning toast. These are the things that make it rewarding.
What advice do you have for other people who want to start their own businesses?
I don't know how qualified I am to be giving advice, I am a brand new business owner! The one thing I will say is when you know you are passionate about something, when something feels just right when you're participating in it, pursue that. Pursue the things that your intuition, mind and body are telling you to do and commit to it.
What is your favorite thing about exploring Ohio?
I have lived in Ohio my whole life. I've gotten to witness its growth as a state. I am proud to see national recognition for the artisans and businesses that have created something noteworthy. I also love seeing connections that business owners and organizations, such as Ohio Explored, are providing to link more of our Ohio cities together. Moving from Columbus to Cincinnati, I had hoped to see more of a connection between the two cities and it is happening. I can't wait to see how strong our mighty Ohio community can grow.

6 lessons for making personal film projects actually happen.
We're big believers in personal projects at Story & Heart.
Partly because they result many more incredible stories being shared in the world—stories that likely wouldn't have been shared otherwise. And partly because they're often the truest and purest representations of the beating hearts behind cameras. There are no client requests. No marketing agendas. No corporate filters.
These stories are inspiring and refreshing. So why aren't we seeing more them from filmmakers worldwide?
Often personal projects mean personally funded, which means money is a big part. Personal projects also—by definition—take up personal time. Which we know is in precious short supply for many filmmakers. And when you really dig in, there are many more hurdles that also get in the way of making personal projects actually happen.
We recently spoke with Brent Foster, photojournalist and filmmaker, about how he's been able to balance building his filmmaking business with his remarkable personal project, "While I'm Here: The Legacy Project".
From our conversation with Brent, here are 6 lessons learned in making personal film projects happen.
1) Spend time finding stories you connect with.
It starts with the story—it has to. Without a story you connect with, the chances of you even completing the film are slim, let alone it being a vehicle for displaying your talent, vision, and heart.
Brent Foster: "First of all, finding the right subjects has been way more challenging than I thought it was going to be—especially after the first. With 'The Highway Man' we realized that we want to find people that are living legacies that are doing amazing, but who are also doing amazing things to help others. That combination is challenging. We found a lot of people who are doing things to help others but maybe aren't necessarily phenomenal film characters themselves. We found a lot of people who are just incredible characters, but they're not looking to pass that on, or they're not looking to sort of continue, pass that legacy onto other people. Research has taken a lot more time than we would have initially anticipated."
Be ruthless when selecting personal projects.
Make sure that the story is something that matters to you and that your characters will bring it to life—even if it means more work in pre-production than you anticipated.
2) Put your personal projects in the calendar.
Once you've found your amazing story and characters for your personal project, put everything in your calendar: Pre-production, production, and post-production days should all be included.
Brent Foster: "We would never do them otherwise, if they weren't in the calendar. Our days are so packed between family and work that it's really hard to make time for these kinds of projects—it really is."
Busy happens. And busy is the silent killer of personal projects.
Intentionally carve out time in your schedule to make sure your personal projects are protected.
Brent Foster: "It's a challenge, but it's something that we care about so much and drives us so much that we really want to make sure that it doesn't slip away as we're focusing—especially during the summer and busy months—on paying projects too. We are making sure that each week we take the time to block those spots where we say, 'This day is a Legacy day and we're going to be working on pre-production for this particular project for The Legacy Project,' and kind of move from there."
3) Spread them out over a long period.
But don't carve out too much personal projects time in any period of time.
As we hinted at earlier, money is a large hurdle for personal projects. By spreading them out over a longer period of time you'll be able to balance both paid work and personal projects, ensuring both happen, the lights stay on, and your creative fuel tank is refilled.
Brent Foster: "The Legacy Project has become that approach where we know we're not going to be making money. It's something where we really want to tell stories that we think are important, and get them out there. But we also have to afford to feed our couple of kids at the end of the day and pay for our house. What we've tried to do is just space them out over the period of about a year and a half."
The added bonus of spreading out your personal projects is you can give them the attention they deserve.
Brent Foster: "We want to make sure that we also have ample time to pre-produce each one as we move along. What we're trying to do is schedule time in our week to be able to take on the projects that we're doing commercially, and then also be able to have a day or a half day to be able to work on research, pre-production and planning for Legacy Projects as they move along."
4) Start now and set an end goal.
Brent Foster: "I've actually had a lot of people reach out to me and say, 'I've thought about doing a project about legacies,' or 'I've thought about doing this portrait project or this video project.' It's real easy to think about though, right? At some point get out there and jump into it, kind of force yourself into it. I like the idea of setting at least a timeline on it where I say, 'Okay, we're going to be working on this for 18 months.' There's an end goal there. It's not a hard fast deadline but there's an end goal there. I also like the idea that we can kind of take our time through this process too and get these stories out there properly. Set a deadline that is going to light a fire under you, but set a realistic one that's going to keep you going."
Make sure your personal project has an end goal in the calendar. We're a fan of SMART goals here at Story & Heart, but regardless of the how you define a goal—and as we mentioned earlier—make sure its end date is in your calendar.
Without the typical client deadline, it's easy for personal projects to perpetuate forever.
What that means for you is there is no satisfaction of achieving something—anything. And without that motivation of success and completion, the chances of you making more personal projects happen is slim to none. And that makes us and the world sad.
5) Push yourself to the max—in the right direction.
There is security in the comfy client blanket of not wanting to push too far out of the normal or expected. Personal projects don't have that blanket, and it can be scary. But don't let that happen.
Use your personal projects as an opportunity to push yourself like you've never been pushed.
Brent Foster: "I want to make sure with each project we do that we're pushing ourselves to the max creatively and that we are spending that pre-production time. I want each one to be better than the last one. For me, it's a real test personally as well. Even though I've been a photojournalist for forever, I'm still pretty damn new to the filmmaking game."
In addition to pushing yourself creativity, be strategic with your personal projects. We shared a great nugget from Dan Riordan of Gnarly Bay in our "5 tips for making a killer reel" blog post last week that's also fitting here:
Dan Riordan: "It is the easiest way to communicate what you're capable of and to guide your ship towards what kind of work you hope to do in the future."
The same applies for personal projects. Use them to guide where you want your non-personal projects to go.
Brent Foster: "One of my first newspaper jobs, I took my vacation and went and worked on a photo essay in the Gaza Strip. Then I came back and my next newspaper job I took a vacation and covered a story in Thailand. It's never been the paycheck, right? It's always been sort of like, 'How am I going to fund what I actually want to do?' Also, always trying to find that job that's going to balance that nicely too. I really thought for a long time that newspapers were going to be that for me. Where, it was like, 'If I make it to the LA Times then I'm going to be golden. I'm good to go. I'll be traveling everywhere I want to. I'll be able to take those projects on.' You kind of realize quickly that it's never really going to happen that way so you have to make it happen for yourself."
6) Views don't matter. Your Why does.
You've spent all of this time finding an amazing story and characters, putting everything in the calendar, going through the different stages of production, and successfully meeting your end goal. Now it's time to upload your film and eagerly wait for all of those "Joe Schmo liked your video" or "Your video has been added to 'The Most Amazing Film Ever' channel" emails, right?
While praise is fun and exciting, don't lose focus of your Why.
Remember why you created your personal project in the first place and know that by overcoming all of the hurdles you faced in bringing it to light, you're already successful—regardless of the view count, likes, or praise.
Brent Foster: "I had no idea that it would have that direct impact to help him [The Highway Man] and the numbers didn't matter. It was a weird thing for me because I really looked at success as the number of video views, and what we realized was the success was the engagement, both the community engagement and the engagement with people that we previously had nothing to do with. I was like, 'That is why we are doing this. That is why we are creating these films. It's not the 100,000 views. It doesn't matter in this case.' That was such a kind of big thing for me because I have always sort of felt working as a photojournalist that you're always trying to justify why you're there. You're there at the hardest time in somebody's life in a lot of these assignments, where their loved-one has just died, or their struggling in one way or another and you're there trying to take pictures to help tell this story and help create and sort of have that impact. In this case we directly created that impact in one film and were actually able to help that person right away."
Bonus: Personal projects are a great way to find talented collaborators.
Personal project doesn't mean solo project.
Use your personal project as an opportunity to bring in like-minded collaborators.
Brent Foster: "It's also been a real cool way to start to build the team that you really want to work with, too. I'm trying to kind of work with different people along the way. Work with people that I've worked with in the past but bring them in on a passion project, collaborate with them, bring in their look on things too. It's been a fun way for me to start to develop that team a little bit as well."
Ready to start a personal project? Share it in the comments below—even if you don't know what it is yet, a simple "I'm in" is enough to help you make it happen.
Fired up—ready to make a personal project happen?
One of the biggest ways we've found to actually make something happen is to write it down. Even if it's just a starting idea—a glimmer of something.
Special thanks to Brent Foster for sharing his insight on making personal projects happen with us, and to RODE, Kessler, Zylight, and Marmoset for supporting the "While I'm Here: The Legacy Project."

Strange Brew- Worlds Priciest Drink? Indo's Secret
By Michael Doliveck ~ Balifornian Villas, Tours and Travel Blog
It's highly sought after and its worth its weight in silver. It's only available from certain parts of Indonesia. It's the drink of choice for the ultra-wealthy. It's been featured in movies, Oprah swears by it, and its known as one of the most expensive drinks in the world. What is it?
Well, it's called Kopi Luwak and it might surprise you as to how it is made.
Kopi is the Indonesian word for coffee, and Luwak is a small marsupial also known as the paradoxurus or Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). They only live on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in Indonesia. The Luwak is a small tree-dwelling animal that climbs among the coffee trees eating only the ripest, reddest coffee cherries. They then digest and eventually excrete the bean. The proteolytic enzymes in the cat-like animals' stomachs adds a unique flavor through fermentation during the digestion process. Locals then collect the "processed" bean. It is then washed, sun dried, lightly roasted and then brewed to yield an aromatic coffee with very little bitterness.
Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world. It sells for $100 to $700 a pound and special varieties have sold for over $3000 a pound! It can also be purchased by the cup for up to $50. Not to worry as Balifornian Tours can take you to authentic locations selling some of the highest quality Kopi Luwak found in the islands for a much lower price (around $4-$6 a cup)

It's really not that bad and you will come away with a great story from your travels to Bali. Let us know what you think.
From all of us at Balifornian Villas, Tours and Travel Blog, we wish you happy travels and happy drinking too! Salamat Jalan dan Salamat Minum!!

After an unfortunate and unceremonious exit with the Note 7 last year, Samsung is back in full force this year with the Note 8, and it's easily the best Note device to date.
If you read the reviews last year, you'd find reviewers calling the Note 7 almost perfect. How do you improve on something that's almost perfect?
Well, Samsung's response to that was the introduce the Infinity Display in the S8 and S8+, and now to bring that same, amazing display to the Note 8.
What can take advantage of a large display better than a canvas for an S-Pen and the vast multi-tasking capabilities of the Note series?
Design & Build Quality
The design of the Note 8 is absolutely stunning. Taking very clear clues from the S8+ and the Note 7, you now have a gorgeous, large, yet very useable and manageable, 6.3" inch display with almost no bezel on the sides, and extremely minimal on the top and bottom to keep the screen clear and the symmetry of the phone pristine.
The glass melts down the sides to meet with the glossy aluminum frame. I will say, the smoothness of the transition from glass to metal isn't as smooth here as it was on the Galaxy S8+. This is understandable because of the choice to introduce a tighter curve on the Note 8 to allow the S-Pen to have a larger surface to write on, but I can't help but think Samsung could've done a little better here.
The cameras on the back are flush with the body, no more camera bumps. Next to the Cameras, we have the Fingerprint sensor. Frankly, this is one area where I feel that criticisms are too harsh on. Is it in a less-than-desirable location? Yes. Is it bad? No. Truth is, give it a couple days and you'll get used to it. It's different, not bad. And the cameras are specially coated to heavily resist fingerprints and smudges much more effectively than the rest of the phone. On the bottom, we have the USB-C jack, a headphone jack (good guy Samsung), the speaker grill, and the S-Pen slot. On the left side a volume rockers with up and down merged into one, and the Bixby button below that. More on Bixby later.
All in all, the Note 8 is every bit as gorgeous and striking as the S8/S8+ that came before it. Know that when you own one of these devices, you will definitely feel like you're holding a truly premium and excellently built device.

The Note 8 packs the same processor as the S8/S8+ with the Snapdragon 835. However, Samsung has upgraded the RAM of the Note 8 to 6GB, up from 4GB. Though, I don't think you'll see any differences with that change. We've reached a point in smartphone performance that nearly all the flagship devices have such high levels of performance (from a raw power perspective) that it's almost pointless to talk about it. Fact is, if you buy a phone in this price tier, it will be fast, and it will be powerful. However, there is something else to consider, and that is UI fluidity. Samsung has gone to great lengths to improve this on their devices and in my experience it's really great here, with almost no lag ever; however, the fluidity of the interface, isn't as buttery smooth and slick as a Google Pixel or an iPhone. Samsung needs to focus on reaching that solid and stable 60 FPS framerate in their interface if they want to compete with the Pixel in terms of day-to-day UI fluidity.

Gone are the days of the dreaded TouchWiz experience. Enter Samsung's new UX design, now known as Samsung Experience. Introduced with the Note 7 and the Galaxy S8, the Samsung Experience UX is a much cleaner, more intuitive, and more visually pleasing design compared to the old TouchWiz UX that old Samsung phones carried. Not only that, but it's significantly faster, and no longer feels clunky. I'd even go so far as to say that it doesn't feel like a "skin" on top of Android anymore. It feels more like what Samsung truly intends to have their OS look and feel like.
New features like "App-Pair" allow you to preset sets of apps that you commonly use together in multi-window mode, to open up at the same time.

It's additions like these that Samsung is known for these days. Adding Quality of Life improvements for day-to-day usage, to make tasks and things you do regularly easier and faster.
It's in that same vein that Samsung wants to push Bixby, the virtual assistant that Samsung has decided to go all in with, by adding a physical button for it on the left side of the phone. That was a bold move with the S8/S8+, but how has Bixby fared since then? Well, to be honest, Bixby has gotten way better, but it still isn't great. The button is considerably more responsive now, and the available commands have increased greatly. Bixby is finally beginning to deliver on the promise of being able to control the device with your voice, with things like being able to tell Bixby to turn your WiFi on and off or to open the camera and take a picture. Bixby has a long way to go and having a different goal in mind compared to Siri and Google Assistant means it may stand a chance. Write up on these assistants coming at a later date.

One of the major improvements over the S8+ is the addition of a second camera module on the back of the device. This is the first phone Samsung has produced with a Dual-Camera setup on the back. Samsung has opted to go with one lens being the same 12MP f/1.7 as in the S8/S8+, and in addition to that a 12MP f/2.4 2x optical zoom lens. What this means is that you can now simply tap the 2x button and it'll switch between the two cameras, one being "wide angle" (which it really isn't, because it's only "wide" relative to the other lens on this phone) and the other being a zoomed in Telephoto lens. No more digital zooming and losing quality in the process!
Now, it's worth mentioning that the telephoto lens has a smaller aperture of f/2.4 so it won't work as well in low light as the main camera, but it should still perform pretty well, namely because Samsung made sure to include Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) in both cameras! Notably, the pixel size of the telephoto lens is also smaller at 1.0µm, whereas the wide angle lens is 1.44µm. This is important because larger pixels typically result in clearer images with less noise.

The new bonus feature that Samsung added is called Live Focus. It's basically like Portrait Mode on an iPhone, with 2 main differences. The first is that you can control the amount of background blur in the photo even after you've taken the photo! The second is that the camera will take shots with both cameras at the same time so that in case you find your main shot was sub-par, you have the main camera version as well for you to play with.

Similar to what happened last year with the Note 7 (relative to the S7 Edge), the battery in the Note 8 is smaller than the one in the S8+. Specifically, it has 200mAh less capacity. The reason for this is primarily because of the S-Pen. The device itself is only a tad larger than the S8+, but has a large portion of it taken up by the S-Pen slot, and an additional back camera. Additionally, Samsung probably didn't want to push the battery capacity too high, to prevent any issues like the ones that happened with the Note 7. That being said, I should add a couple of notes here regarding the battery. Samsung has implemented a massively overhauled safety program to ensure that the creation of the batteries is extremely rigorously designed and tested to prevent any explosions or problems. These new batteries don't explode at all, even if you cut them with metal (which in most cases should make it explode). This means that Samsung has really innovated with the safety of these batteries. Finally, they also added a new benefit to these batteries. They extended their lives. Whereas prior batteries would have about 20% of their maximum life depleted over 2 years, Samsung is claiming that these new batteries would only lose about 5% over 2 years. This is excellent news because, in theory, it means that your phone will last longer over time!

Now, regarding daily battery life. I'm sort of on the fence with this one. It's been somewhat hit or miss and I'm almost completely positive that it's a software related matter. There are days where I will get great battery life within 4.5-5.5 hours of SOT (Screen-on-Time), and there are other days where I'm only at about 3.5 hours of SOT. That's a pretty big spread, but as always, battery life really depends on what you're doing with the device. 3 Hours playing a game is not equal to 3 hours browsing the web. Knowing this, as a reminder, research shows that the average person spends anywhere from 2.5-4 hours a day on their phones, which means that for most use cases, the battery life of the Note 8 (and definitely the S8+) is more than suitable for everyday needs and getting through the whole day. I work at a desk and can put my phone on a wireless charging pad most of the day, but I've been avoiding doing this and have been getting home with about 30-40% remaining pretty regularly.

The S-Pen
The S-Pen is the main reason why someone should get a Note device. There's nothing like it on the market and fortunately, that hasn't stopped Samsung from making it better over time. Whether it's with Screen-Off Memo, which allows you to take a note on the device without ever turning on your screen, or taking high-quality GIF's at will just by selecting something on your screen, the S-Pen is a powerful tool that allows you to do things that no other device can. It's truly liberating sometimes. Also, Live Messages are super fun! And save as GIFs so they work everywhere!

Personally, I use it for photo editing on the go, taking screenshots and quickly jotting notes on them (or instructions to send off to someone who needs help with an app), and for signing documents quickly and easily. The photo editing aspect is really powerful because you can use something like Adobe Lightroom to mask images with precision to make your changes much more accurate.
The S-Pen is something that you'll either love and will use all the time, or will think is fun and will forget and never use it. You have to try it and use it for a while to figure out which one you are. If you are the latter, don't buy the Note 8 (unless you're really into the dual camera setup), and just get an S8+ instead. If you do like it, Note 8 is the best phone you can get.

The Samsung Note 8 is the best phone Samsung has produced to date, and it's an incredible device. The Cameras are some of the best available on a smartphone. The display is unmatched by any device (even the upcoming iPhone X has only about half the peak brightness of this display). Performance is some of the best you can get right now, beaten only by the iPhone 8/8 Plus and depending on what you're talking about the OnePlus 5 and Google Pixel/XL. It's a beast of a phone.
Ultimately, if you're looking for the best device currently on the market, think you could really put the S-Pen to good use, AND you can justify the price ($929+tax if purchased outright), then you'll be extremely happy with the Note 8. If you find that price steep, and you don't think you'd use the S-Pen much, then I'd recommend going for the S8+ for now as it has just about all the features of the Note 8, except the second back camera (the first one is identical to the one in the S8+) and the S-Pen.
Enjoy the Samsung Note 8, you won't be disappointed.

There were roughly three women to every one man working at Butcher's. Although there were women in all the departments, there were set men's and women's jobs, sometimes due to the strength needed for a particular job. Men operated the machines and women did various supporting tasks. This division of labour was, in fact, supported by the unions.
Most of those designated as skilled workers were men and were therefore paid more than the women, but if men were new to the job, sometimes women, who actually knew the tasks very well, would take over. Women did all the inspection.

Chapter 9 The Economics of Outsmarting Waste

The main reason why waste is sent to landfills and incinerators and why few of our outputs are recycled (like they technically can be) is all tied up in the economics of waste. It is simply more expensive to collect and recycle most things than the results are worth, and it's cheap—because we allow it to be cheap—to send waste to a landfill or an incinerator.
Because our world is so economically motivated, perhaps we can make outsmarting waste more attractive by speaking the language of economics. There are hidden economic benefits of investing in the process of outsmarting waste on several different levels. Like the whole of outsmarting waste, these benefits can begin with you at home.
Although outsmarting waste may require an investment of your time, every aspect should save you money. If you don't buy unnecessary items, you can save money for something more important. Packaged processed food tends to be more expensive then unpackaged fresh foods. Durable products, even though they may cost more initially, will last longer than disposables and should save you money over the long term. Buying used instead of new will also leave a few extra bucks in your pocket.See All Chapters

From the macro perspective, we see garbage as a phenomenal volume of mixed complex materials and primarily useless outputs whose creation is driven by our chronic consumerism. If we are looking for the true value in garbage, it is best to look at garbage from the micro perspective—a perspective that looks at the makeup of garbage—and dissect what a single piece of garbage really is.
Let's use the example of a "disposable" coffee cup. First, it is important to make the distinction between a new and a used coffee cup. Both are coffee cups, but one has positive value: a coffee shop would buy a new cup to serve you that venti chai latte. The other cup—the used one—has negative value (a coffee shop would not buy it back from you). Once you've indulged in your drink, you will most likely put the cup in a garbage can (as coffee cups are not recyclable in today's recycling systems due to the plastic coating on the inside), the owner of which will have to pay for that coffee cup to be transported to a nearby landfill or incinerator.See All Chapters
Chapter 1 Where the Modern Idea of Garbage Originated

Human refuse—"garbage"—is a modern idea that arose out of our desire to chronically consume stuff that is made from ever more complex, man-made materials.
To outsmart waste we need to eliminate the very idea of waste; to do so we need to understand where the concept of waste came from and what factors brought about its existence.
Why is it that garbage exists in the human system but not more broadly in nature? Nature is a beautiful harmony of systems whereby every system's output is a useful input for other systems. An acorn that falls from a tree is an important input for a squirrel that eats it. The by-product of that delicious meal—the squirrel's poop—is an important input for the microbes that consume it. The output of the microbes—rich humus and soil—is in turn the very material from which a new oak tree may grow. Even the carbon dioxide that the squirrel exhales is what that tree may inhale. This cycle is the fundamental reason why life has thrived on our planet for millions of years. It's like the Ouroboros—the ancient symbol depicting a serpent eating its own tail; in a way, nature truly is a constant cycle of consuming itself.See All Chapters
Chapter 6 The Art of Upcycling

Chapter 6

© TerraCycle
The key difference between upcycling and reusing waste is that with upcycling the original intention of the object changes. For example, if a painter uses a painted canvas for a new painting, he is reusing the canvas. But if instead that same painter takes the canvas apart, uses the wood to make a frame, and uses the fabric to make a purse—that's upcycling.
The idea of upcycling isn't all that new. People have been upcycling for thousands of years. In fact, before the Industrial Revolution (and before processes typically needed for recycling became readily available), reuse and upcycling were common practices. There were no landfills or incinerators to speak of, and the idea of "disposable goods" simply didn't exist in the way it does today. If your pants wore out, the remaining material could be used as cleaning rags or to make another piece of clothing. If a leg broke off your kitchen table, the wood that originally made the table could be used to make a shelf.See All Chapters
Chapter 2 The Role of the Individual Purchase

Chapter 2

When looking at the root cause of garbage, we as consumers bear a large part of the responsibility. Garbage is predicated on our individual consumption. If we don't buy something, it can never become garbage.
The manufacturers that make our products are here to serve the desires of consumers (you and me). Sure, by marketing to our desires they may influence what we want—or even introduce things we never knew we wanted—but in the end we are the individuals who pull the trigger and trade our money for those goods. No one is forcing us to buy anything. By contrast we voluntarily, and in fact willingly, buy things on a daily basis. We even gain pleasure in the act of buying. Consider the recent emergence of "retail therapy," a pop-culture concept promoting the act of shopping as a way to beat depression.
Consumerism, in a way, is something of an addiction. We almost need to consume; we are constantly chasing after the next new thing (or high, for the sake of this metaphor), and our appetite to consume is never satisfied. One key difference between global consumerism and individual addiction is that this destructive habit doesn't just harm our individual bodies; it affects our planet in a real way.See All Chapters
Chapter 8 The Critical Element of Separation

In nature the waste of organisms is typically spread out in small quantities over a wide area. Unlike humans, animals in nature don't head to the same spot every time they have to poop. They don't preserve their dead, place them in caskets, and later bury them in designated areas. And they certainly don't have any garbage, let alone put it all into a big pile.
When outputs are mixed together as they are in a landfill, it is harder for them to become useful inputs. Putting even useful outputs into the garbage will render them useless outputs. While this is partly because they will not naturally decompose in a landfill, it is also because it is very hard to recycle a soda bottle (#1 plastic) when it is squashed together with a banana, a yogurt cup (#5 plastic), and a used rag.
Any one of these outputs could be recycled or composted individually. A soda bottle could be melted down into plastic, as could a yogurt cup. A banana could be composted, and a rag could be shredded and made into paper or new fabric.See All Chapters
Chapter 3 Our Primary Global Solution to Waste: Bury It

When I was a child, I had a pet rabbit that lived in a large cage on our apartment balcony. Every day I would feed her the vegetable peelings from our kitchen; she would happily eat them, later pooping out whatever her body didn't use as spherical, pearl-like droppings in one corner of her cage. She would spend the rest of her time hanging out, dreaming perhaps about nice boy rabbits, in another corner of the cage. I never once saw her venture near the "poop corner" unless she had some specific business to do. Come to think of it, if I were that rabbit, I probably wouldn't either.
The desire to be as far away from one's own waste as possible seems to be hardwired in us. Landfills constantly face NIMBY ("not in my backyard") challenges when getting zoned, and property values are lower near sewage treatment facilities, landfills, and composting sites. People simply don't like hanging out near waste. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why we invented the toilet. If you deconstruct what a toilet is, beyond being a nice ceramic seat, it's a device whose purpose is to move our waste far away from us as fast as mechanically possible.See All Chapters
Chapter 4 The Energy Inherent in Our Waste

From newspapers to hot dogs, all objects have an inherent amount of energy—their "caloric value." Simply put, caloric value is the amount of energy that is released when a particular thing is burned. Some objects burn at a positive caloric value, including candles, cigarettes, or basically anything that will continue to burn after you put a lighter to it to get it going. This can easily be calculated in a laboratory by measuring the amount of heat that the object releases per gram and subtracting the amount of energy that was used to get the burn going. Objects with a negative caloric value, on the other hand, consume more energy than they produce in the process of burning.
Calories from items with a positive caloric value are exactly the same type that we try to avoid when we go on our annual New Year's diet. In other words, if you took sugary, buttery, oil-drenched, icing- and sprinkle-topped doughnuts (yum), they would burn much better (giving you more calories) than things like asparagus, celery, apples, and other foods with a negative caloric value.See All Chapters
Chapter 7 The Science of Recycling

Because the waste problem represents more than 11 billion tons per year on a global basis,1 the fundamental solution to all that waste needs to be on an industrial scale. On such a monumental scale, it is hard to leverage the intention and the form of an object. Reuse and recycling would really have their work cut out for them, and it is much easier to focus just on composition. That is where recycling comes in.
Recycling has been in full force since the dawn of the Bronze Age (3300 BCE). Metals have always been difficult commodities to come by, and there is evidence of bronze and other metals being collected in Europe and melted down for perpetual reuse.2 This behavior was tied entirely to the economics of waste. It was very expensive to harvest new bronze from rock and significantly easier to just melt down a broken bronze object and make something new.
During the Industrial Revolution, the need for metals was enormous, and metal recycling was in full force. Just imagine how much metal it took to build the railroads that crisscross Europe and North America. During World War II, the US government urged citizens to conserve as much as they could in terms of energy, food, materials, and other essentials. Citizens were encouraged to donate metals to the war effort—helping forge everything from bullets to tanks. The culture of recycling, unlike conservation, stayed in effect after the war.See All Chapters

In case you did not know, this root has very powerful anti-inflammatory properties. In fact, it helps to prevent cancer cell growth. Curcuma is also known for treating depression without mentioning its effects on cholesterol reduction. The list is long but it is worth mentioning other benefits such as its ability to treat skin cancer, Alzheimer's and other conditions such as arthritis, heartburn, jaundice, diarrhea, gall bladder and abdominal pain.
Curcumin to treat depression
There are many different ways and medicines that you can use to cure depression, the most common Prozac. The sad thing about using any kind of drug for depression are the awful side effects that come with it, such as breathing difficulties, stomach bleeding or worse, suicidal thoughts.
This major discovery showed that turmeric can help a person with depression without the need for addressing the side effects. Turmeric treats curcumin-specific depression, which is more effective than fluoxetine containing Prozac.
How to Make Turmeric Lemonade
There are many different ways to prepare turmeric lemonade, but we have chosen the most effective and easy way.
4 cups with cold water
2 tablespoons with freshly grated turmeric or powder
4 tablespoons with 100% maple syrup, honey or stevia if you're avoiding sugar.
1 lemon or lime
1 orange (juice) (optional)
Small pinch of black pepper (always mix turmeric with black pepper)
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Stir and serve with lemon slices.
It can be consumed daily and goes well with any type of food.
Health benefits
It contains anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and natural antiviral properties.
It is a strong boost of immunity that will improve the absorption of essential nutrients.
Juices are used in many detoxifiers as nutrients to absorb and reduce calories.
The great thing about this recipe is the fact that you do not have to spend tons of money on drugs and you can do it at home, anyone using this recipe can make a perfect concoction. You can buy the ingredients anywhere, but be sure not to expose it to extreme heat, as nutrient levels can be reduced or weakened.
Taking turmeric along with certain medications can produce unwanted side effects. Therefore, we recommend that you talk to your doctor before deciding to try this natural home remedy.

Craft Hope for Haiti
I haven't shared my thoughts about the disaster in Haiti here. First of all because I keep things mostly light-hearted here but secondly because I was out of town {read: out of touch} when it happened and it took me nearly a week to catch up on what was happening in the world. The disaster and continued suffering there has moved me to tears many times in the last week. We are praying for the people there and those that are working so hard to help. I came across something today that I wanted to share. It's called Craft Hope for Haiti.
It's a wonderful way to give to the disaster relief. Crafters have generously donated hundreds of beautiful items for purchase in the Craft Hope etsy store and all proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders in Haiti. I encourage you to check it out.

Programming is a powerful way to express interaction. It allows you to express complex behavior like logic, variables and loops by using simple building blocks.
But while programming becomes easier over time, it can be challenging to get started. This guide is meant to help you take the first steps, as well as teach you how to improve in an efficient manner. The most important thing to remember is that you do not have to know everything to begin. Start with the foundations of a programming language and aim to continually improve. A key thing to remember is that in programming, there is usually a smarter way to solve a problem and chances are, there is documentation to prove it. Even the most advanced users pick up new tricks from inspecting other people's code.
If you get stuck, don't be afraid to search online or ask for help. The Framer community is full of programmers of all levels, most of whom will be happy to help. Remember, there's no such thing as a stupid question in programming.
It's also not bad to make mistakes. In fact, this is the very essence of programming – code, run into error, solve error, continue. No matter how far you advance, this will become a natural workflow for you. In the beginning, you'll spend a good amount of time being frustrated by small syntax errors, mostly because programming relies on precision. Any wrong
. , ; " or
} will result in an error and you'll often have no idea why. But push through and master the syntax. You'll be surprised at how quickly you get better at it.
Many of our users choose to start with Framer like they would with CSS. Just some simple layers with styles will get you far. From there you can pick up calculations, variables and functions. Start small, build on your foundation and don't be afraid to ask for help.
Framer is built on top of CoffeeScript. CoffeeScript is a simplified version of JavaScript that makes it more legible and efficient to write. It also helps avoid common mistakes that are easily made in JavaScript.
We chose CoffeeScript for Framer because its properties neatly align with the goals that designers typically have when building interactive work. As a bonus, learning CoffeeScript will give you an edge when it comes to learning similar languages, like JavaScript or Swift.
One of the most important syntax differences is that CoffeeScript uses whitespace (tabs and spaces) for its language structure, as opposed to curly brackets. This makes code generally more readable, but can also cause errors in your code.
Whitespace (tabs and spaces) is an important part of CoffeeScript. Though convenient to use, it makes you more prone to making errors, most of which you may miss (although we lightly visualize them in your text editor). So try not to mix up tabs and spaces.
In general, programming languages are very case sensitive. Simply put, if you have a variable named `box`, it is not the same as `Box`. This takes a little getting used to, but it will start to come naturally after a while.
You can quickly inspect values by printing them. This is a common way to learn what exactly is happening within a program. See below.
print "Hello" # Prints Hello print 10 + 1 # Prints 11
Variables are used to store information that you use or change later. They can be labeled with descriptive name, so the code makes sense if you read it. It is helpful to think of variables as containers that hold information.
A variable in its simplest form looks like this. The word Framer is saved in a variable named box. From here on, we can reference it at any point.
container = "Something in it"
You can give a variable any name, as long as it's a single word.
boxA = "Something"boxB = 12345 # A variable can be a number too
To make this more Framer specific, we have to introduce how you create Layers. They are the building blocks for pretty much everything in Framer. You can learn more about them in the guide. But for now, let's create one with the
new keyword and store it in a variable.
myLayer =
Say you want to create multiple layers with the same width. You can fill in the same number repeatedly, but what if you want to change the value later? Ideally, you would only have to define and edit it once. This is where variables come in.
screenWidth = 400 myLayerA = width: screenWidth myLayerB = width: screenWidth
Both layers now use the variable
screenWidth as their width, and you can change both by only editing one number.
When working with values, you will often use numbers to define postition, size, opacity and much more. Numbers can also be used for calculations.
Many layer properties are expressed as numbers. If you are familiar with CSS, you will notice that you don't have to add units like "px" here. The numbers make sense by themselves, depending on where they're used.
layerA = width: 200 height: 200 opacity: 0.5
You can also calculate with numbers by using
+ - * / and more. In programming these are called operators.
print 400 + 100 / 10 * 6
This is great for calculating layer properties, too.
layerA.width = 500 / 2
You can even combine numbers and properties in calculations. Say you want the layer width to be half the width of another layer.
layerA.width = layerBwidth / 2
Sometimes you may want to change a variable based on itself. Like when offsetting a layer slightly, moving it to the right in this example, by adding 100 to the original value.
# layerA.x is 200 by default layerA.x = layerAx + 100
Strings are pieces of text wrapped within quotation marks. In Framer, they are often used to define color values, layer names and HTML content. They can be single words or entire sentences.
layerA = name: "button" html: "click me"
Like numbers, you can add strings together with
+. In the case of a string, that means that the text is concatenated, without a seperator.
# This code: print "click" + "me" # Is the same as: print "clickme"
You can combine variables and strings together too.
name = "Koen"city = "Amsterdam" print "Hello my name is " + name + " and I live in " + city# Hello my name is Koen and I live in Amsterdam
This is very powerful, but you can see how this could get hard to read. Luckily, you can also use templates.
print "Hello my name is and I live in "# Hello my name is Koen and I live in Amsterdam
You can even add simple logic to templates.
age = 25 print "I'm now and in ten years from now."# I'm 25 now and 35 in ten years from now.
Booleans are values that can only be true or false. You can think of them like a light switch. They are often used to enable or disable features.
Some properties can simply be toggled on or off. For example, you can hide a layer using the
visible property. Or you can make a layer draggable by using
layerA.visible = falselayerB.draggable.enabled = true
With the
not keyword, you can reverse a boolean.
# Switches the visibility of a layer layer.visible = not layervisible
You can combine booleans with the
and and
or keywords. This means they either both have to be true or one of them has to be true.
print layerBvisible and layerCvisible # false print layerBvisible or layerCvisible # true
To make decisions in your code, you can use logic. We call these parts conditionals, as they only run a specific part of the code, when a condition is met.
Say we want to toggle a layers visibility when clicking another layer. With an if-statement, you can check if a layer is visible or not.
button = # Place a layer in the center layerA = point: Aligncenter buttononClick -> if layerAvisible layerA.visible = false else layerA.visible = true
Besides checking for properties, you can also check for values by comparing them. Typical comparisons for numbers are smaller than and larger than. These are called comparison operators. Below,
layerA will turn red once you drag it below the
layerA = layerA.draggable.enabled = true marker = x: Aligncenter y: Aligncenter layerAonDrag -> if layerAy > markery layerA.backgroundColor = "red"
Because if-conditions are always booleans, you can also check for multiple conditions at once, by combining them with
and or
layerAonDrag -> if layerAx > markerx and layerAy > markery layerA.backgroundColor = "red" else layerA.backgroundColor = "green"
Loops & Arrays
Loops and Arrays help you to create and edit multiple elements at once. Think lists of layers, properties or animations. If you learn to use them well, they can help you to avoid writing repetitive code.
Below, we've created 3 layers, all sharing the same properties.
layerA = size: 50 backgroundColor: "blue" layerB = size: 50 backgroundColor: "blue" layerC = size: 50 backgroundColor: "blue"
This looks pretty repetitive, and can be simplified by using a for-loop. First, we need an array with as many numbers as we need layers. We can generate this with the syntax
[1..3], which is a shorthand for an array like
[1, 2, 3]. You can make these as big as you like.
for index in 1..3 layer = size: 50 backgroundColor: "blue"
index is a variable that represents the number in the array for that iteration of the loop. It starts at
1, then becomes
2, and finally
Because it is a number, we can use it to do calculations and position the generated layers in the form of a list.
for i in 1..3 layer = size: 50 backgroundColor: "blue" y: i * 200
The code above will position the top of the layers layers at y positions
400 and
600. You can make arrays of practically everything, but a common use case is to put layers in an array, and loop over them. This is an easy way to change properties of multiple layers at once.
layerA = layerB = layerC = # Put all the layers in an array so we can loop them layers = layerAlayerBlayerC for layer in layers layer.size = 50 layer.backgroundColor = "blue"
Events in Loops
There is a very common error when using loops to set up layers and event handlers. In the code below you might expect the layer you click on to change color, but instead only the last layer ever will.
layerA = x: 0layerB = x: 220layerC = x: 440 layers = layerAlayerBlayerC for layer in layers layeronClick -> layer.backgroundColor = "blue"
This is due to something called Scoping and you can read more about it below. But if you run into this, you can get it to work like this.
for layer in layers layeronClick -> this.backgroundColor = "blue"
Functions allow you make blocks of code that you run at a specific point, or use multiple times. They are often used in Events and for general organization. The basic syntax for a function contains an arrow
-> and whitespace. Once defined, you can execute the function with paranthases. Let's create a very simple function and execute it a few times.
= -> print "Hello!" print "How are you?" sayHellosayHellosayHello
Notice how all the lines inside the function are indented. We call this the function body. Now instead of executing the function ourselves we can tell Framer to do so. This can be on click, tap or any other Event.
layerA = layerAonClick -> layerA.rotation = layerArotation + 10
You might notice that the function above has no name like the
sayHello function. But it also works with a name.
layerA = = -> layerA.rotation = layerArotation + 10 layerAonClickrotate
Just like a mathematical formula, a function can have multiple inputs and an output. Say you wanted to convert
y = x * 10 to a function.
= return x * 10 print y10 # Prints 100
But a more programmatic way to write this is with sensible names. Notice how nothing except the names changed compared to the function above, but it is a lot more readable.
= return someNumber * 10 print timesTen10 # Prints 100
The function inputs are called parameters and the output the return value, hence the return keyword. As an example in Framer, we might want to make a function to rotate layers and use it on multiple layers.
layerA = layerB = x: Alignright = layer.rotation = layerrotation + 10 # Now, we can pass in any layer! Neat. layerAonClick -> rotatelayerA layerBonClick -> rotatelayerB
Multiple parameters are separated by commas. Another parameter we could add is the amount of rotation.
# Multiple parameters = layer.rotation = layerrotation + degrees layerAonClick -> rotatelayerA10
If you find yourself often using the same value in a function, you can specify a default value for a parameter to make it optional. Now you could omit that value when calling the function.
= layer.rotation = layerrotation + degrees # 10 degrees rotatelayerA # 50 degrees rotatelayerB50
Below, you see how we can use the return value (or output) on getting the largest layer width. The value is then applied to layerC.
= if firstLayerwidth > secondLayerwidth return firstLayerwidth else return secondLayerwidth layerC = width: largestWidthlayerAlayerB
Objects are a way to structure data and used all over the place in Framer, from layers to animations. Think of an object as a way to organize values. There is a lookup
key that contains a
value, like a name and an address in a phone book. Like functions, they use whitespace.
people = koen: "123 Main Street" sara: "456 Wall Street" jorn: "789 Arts Street" print peoplekoen
There are many applications for objects, but the most common one in Framer is to provide options when creating a new Layer.
myLayer = x: 200 y: 200 backgroundColor: "red"
The value of a key can be anything, even another object. This requires nesting. In Framer, you'll see this when defining animation properties. Notice the double indentation.
layeranimate x: 100 y: 200 backgroundColor: "red" options: curve: Springdamping: 0.5 time: 0.5
Going back to creating your own simple object, there are two ways to get the value for a key. Using the key directly (called dot notation) or using the key as a string. They both do the exact same thing.
ages = koen: 33 jorn: 32 ben: 21 print ageskoenprint ages"ben"
The string-based notation is useful when you want to generate an object with different states in Framer.
layerA = # Add states within a loop for i in 1..3 layerAstates"state"= y: i * 200
You can also loop over objects. The main difference with arrays is that you have to use a
for...of loop instead of
for...in and that you get back both the key and value.
people = koen: 33 jorn: 32 ben: 21 for keyvalue of people print keyvalue # Or more logically named for nameage of people print nameage
Classes are objects that can be extended to add or change behavior. For example, our Components are all classes that extend Layer. We call them subclasses. Subclasses inherit basic functionality, but add extra features, like the scrollable content in the ScrollComponent. Classes can be constructed with the
new keyword. This will call the special
constructor function and return an instance of that class. Below, layerA is a variable that contains an instance of Layer.
layerA =
It's easy to create your own subclass. If you have multiple buttons in your prototype, you can create a class that has its own constructor which specifies the size and background color of your button.
# Create Class : # Get default layer functionality superoptions # Set default properties @width = 300 @height = 100 @backgroundColor = "maroon" # Create button button =
@ symbol refers to the Button itself. This button is not really flexible, though. We can't set the size of a specific button, because the value is overridden in the constructor.
# This does not work button = width: 250 # This will work button.width = 250
To make this work, we have to merge the default options with the options provided to the constructor. Here we use the lodash defaults function to merge the provided options with our own defaults.
: super _defaults options width: 300 height: 100 backgroundColor: "maroon" # Works! button = width: 250
We can also add our own functions to the Button.
: super _defaults options width: 300 height: 100 # Deactivate by default @deactivate : -> @backgroundColor = "red" : -> @backgroundColor = "maroon"
Now, these functions are a part of every button. So we can use them to add interactivity to our button, for example.
buttononTapStart -> @activate buttononTapEnd -> @deactivate
We can also add the event handlers to the button itself by placing them within the constructor. All buttons now inherit this interactivity.
: super _defaults options width: 300 height: 100 # Deactivate by default @deactivate # Add events handlers @onTapStart -> @activate @onTapEnd -> @deactivate : -> @backgroundColor = "red" : -> @backgroundColor = "maroon"
Comparing Loops, Objects and Classes
There are often many ways to achieve the same thing in programming. This is both great, and sometimes tricky. For instance, you can create two blue layers in a loop.
for i in 1..2 backgroundColor: "blue"
Or with a function.
= backgroundColor: backgroundColor createLayer"blue"createLayer"blue"
Or with a class.
: super @backgroundColor = "blue"
But here is no "right" way. It's normal to go back through your code and rewrite small parts as you better learn what your needs are.
In programming, scope refers to the value of a variable within a block of code. Sometimes, you can't access a value, depending on where you retrieve it. You may run into scope bugs when using Events in a loop. Let's take a look at what happens when we add a click event.
for i in 0...3 layer = backgroundColor: "blue" y: i * 250 layeronClick -> layer.backgroundColor = "red"
The code above does not work as you might expect: when you click any layer, the third one turns red! What's wrong? The
onClick function uses the variable
layer to change the background color. However, this variable is updated each time at the start of the loop.
The background color only changes after you click, and at that moment the value of
layer is what it was set to the last time the loop ran: the third layer. There are a couple solutions for this.
Using "this"
Instead of using the variable
layer we can also find the layer that was clicked by using
this. The value of
this depends on where it's used. Within event handlers, it often refers to the layer.
for i in 0...3 layer = backgroundColor: "blue" y: i * 250 layeronClick -> this.backgroundColor = "red"
You can also use
@ as a shorthand for the
this keyword.
layeronClick -> @backgroundColor = "red"
Using "do"
Another solution is to "capture" the variable with
do. For example, if you need to use it within event handlers of other layers.
button = for i in 1..3 layer = backgroundColor: "blue" y: i * 250 do buttononClick -> layer.backgroundColor = "red"
button is used to change the color of all layers created in the loop.

We've all probably seen a few spiders in our time, but one thing that many St. Louis homeowners are wondering is whether spiders in our region are dangerous or not. Chances are, the spiders that you are seeing in your home are a type of house spider but there are also other species of spiders including the brown recluse spider and black widow spider that can more of a threat to humans.
Both brown recluse and black widow spiders pose a threat to humans because of potential reactions from their bites, but neither species is aggressive by nature. In fact, they would much prefer to be left alone and will always try to find secluded places to remain during the day and then hunt at night. The trouble comes when these spiders feel threatened or are accidentally handled.
The reason that these spiders are considered dangerous is mainly due to the fact that their bites can produce a strong reaction in humans. Brown recluse spider bites can produce a strong stinging sensation accompanied by potential open ulcers that are slow to heal. Black widow spiders can produce a reaction including swelling, muscle cramps and flu like symptoms. Fatalities have been reported but are extremely rare.
The best way to reduce encounters with dangerous spiders in St. Louis and Mid-Missouri is to try to eliminate the things that they are attracted to. Here are a few spider prevention tips from our St. Louis pest control pros at Rottler:
Eliminate tall grass and heavy landscaping close to the foundation of the home where spiders are likely to hide.
Add door sweeps to any doors that leave a gap once closed.
Place sticky traps to catch spiders in basements, along walls, near furniture, or other areas where spiders are likely to be wandering.
Remove spider webs from around the home.
Be thorough in inspecting things such as clothing in the closet, shoes that have not been worn in a while, or even the curtains and drapes. Before handling these items, check for spiders!
For added protection against spiders, our pest technicians at Rottler highly recommend having exterior barrier treatments to help prevent spiders from getting into the home.

For every online marketer creating something viral is like attaining nirvana! In fact, it is the dream of every marketer to get their content viral and once there, no one can stop the content from being shared and liked by "N" numbers of Internet users. And we all know what happens next! You instantly become an Internet phenomenon and your website traffic shoots high. But here comes the catch! You must either be very lucky or be able to create a content that is catchy enough to get viral in the world of web. Unfortunately, for business content the scope is quite narrow not only because it takes a lot of knowledge and understanding to create something that will impress the hardcore business, but also because many marketers are yet to discover the tricks to take their creation on a viral spree.
This is where you need to understand the concept and basic rules of viral content marketing. Now many of the Internet marketers mush have heard about viral co-efficiency, but how do you define it? Viral coefficient is the number of users generated by a single online user sharing your online content. The higher you achieve viral coefficient for your content, the more successful you are going to be. Thus, this is one of the most important factors of viral content marketing. The next is viral cycle time, which represents the time required for your content to go viral. In general, the viral cycle time of content is within a day or two of its publishing. The final component of viral content marketing is knowing the total available market i.e. the number of users who are likely to find your online content shareable. The value is likely to be higher with generic content while niche content has a narrow value.
This is the basic of viral content marketing and now the question arises is how to get the content go viral! Here, you need to understand the readers' mind. You must understand that users will only share content when they are emotionally connected with your subject and the material you are offering. And the connection must be strong enough to motivate them to share with the other users. And here you competitor is everyone and not just with other players of your domain as every marketer is trying to vie the attention of the online users. Thus, you must offer something different, unique, eye-catching, or something that connects with your users at some level in order to go viral.
