I was recently reading Brat Pack America, the latest book by Kevin Smokler which revisits teen movies of the 1980s and examines them with the careful consideration of an anthropologist and historian, weighing the stories and their geographical context with eyes that have watched 30 years of film unfold beyond them. It's fascinating, and such a delight to dive back into the pop culture soup where I marinated as a teen and tween. It's had me time traveling back to those tender years and sparked an unexpected insight in the work that I do now to help hardworking artists with their money.
As someone who eagerly watched John Hughes movies first in the theater, and then repeatedly at slumber parties, I'll admit that I took those stories literally. I didn't question anything, I just watched, absorbed — and to my 12-year old eyes those dramas were more like documentaries, preparing kids for the realities of life a few years down the road.
Yes, John Hughes taught me that well-to-do high school kids wear expensive, pastel, sport coats and slacks to school during the week, and trash mansions on the weekends; that being poor was reason enough for ridicule and scorn; and that economic status was indeed the most important social issue for everyone. Rich = powerful and evil, Poor = unfortunate, scrappy, but ultimately creative and good. It wasn't until I picked up Brat Pack America, that I even thought to revisit those old plots and consider the implications.
Fast forward 30 years, and I've found my life's work in talking to hardworking, scrappy, and ultimately creative and good people about their money. My goal is to help these folks use their limited resources as skillfully as possible to support their lives and their wild ambitions. But ever since I started talking to artists about their money I've noticed a common thread — and suddenly, I'm seeing a connection to those old John Hughes story lines: the people in my creative community are plagued by under earning.
The starving artists' pattern of under earning
It never comes out as "Guess what I got a job at Google and I told them, 'forget the salary, I'm here just for the experience!'" More often, what I hear is:
"I was asked to create a temporary installation for an event, but they have no budget, so I'm just going to pay for everything, and hopefully get some good exposure out of it."
"I felt weird asking how much they were going to pay me, so I did all the work, and then found out they had no budget … But that's okay, it was my fault for not asking."
"I probably could have negotiated for more, but I didn't want them to think I was only in it for the money."
I often find myself advocating to my clients that their time and expertise are worth far more than they are getting. I explain the value of their work from the buyer's perspective, and contrast that to the income they're giving up… But it doesn't always sway people.
The resistance to asking for proper compensation can be incredibly powerful — so powerful, it seems, that we habitually avoid it even after we realize that we're screwing ourselves. It feels impolite, scary, and ingrained into our personalities. We don't want to identify as being motivated by money, so we've never felt comfortable asking for it. Where did this come from?
Is it still Van Gogh's fault?
We love to blame our economic self-depreciation on the myth of the starving artist, romanticizing the penniless demise of cultural figures like Edgar Allan Poe or Mozart. But I'm now considering whether the art form that inspired this knee-jerk aversion to money can be found even closer to home.
I have to wonder — for those of us who were sensitive, art-kid-weirdos on the social fringe in the mid 1980s, watching gape-mouthed as economically-challenged, but creatively gifted teenagers suffered at the hands of their one-dimensional rich classmates — did the seed of a counter-productive idea get planted into our minds and unintentionally take root?
The idea that 'money = evil' could have easily bloomed for me in 1986 from watching the coolest gal in the universe, Pretty in Pink's Molly Ringwald get dumped by Andrew McCarthy because he didn't want to be seen at prom with her by his rich friends. I was involuntarily choked-up and teary when she showed up anyway in her shabby-chic, do-it-yourself, homemade dress crafted from hand-me-downs and thrift store scraps — even after the 50th viewing. In fact, I wanted to be her — living on the wrong side of the tracks, supporting her unemployed father with an after school record store job, painstakingly working into the night to attach grannie inspired-doilies to every item of clothing. And to walk in her shoes meant her enemies were also my enemies.
Or it might have been in 1987 while watching Some Kind of Wonderful's Eric Stoltz blow his entire college savings account on a pair of diamond earring to impress an upscale Leah Thompson, only to get belittled and terrorized by her ultra-wealthy ex-boyfriend. And this handsome, redheaded underdog was of course an artist too — with such incredible natural talent that while working at his gas station job, he was able to find the time to paint a perfectly-rendered, life-size portrait of his crush from memory, and have it hung at their local museum. I identified with his, 'I make art because I have to, even though the other kids think I'm a sissy,' perseverance, and I would have definitely joined the rumble against the rich on his behalf — if only given a chance.
We art kids of the 80s are grown up now, and may be finding it hard to sustain real life with the 'money = evil' philosophy. But that doesn't necessarily make it any easier to stand up and say, "this is what I am worth, and I need to be paid accordingly" — especially when you haven't had much practice.
Is John Hughes to blame? Probably not. He was just that moment's teen equivalent of Shakespeare, creating a tossed salad of classic high school angst dressed in the 'Me' Decade's 'rich vs. poor' vinaigrette. But recognizing what those influential films may have done, could solve the mystery for why we under earn that Van Gogh never could.
For you, it might not have been the Brat Pack, but some other snippet of pop culture from your youth that taught you to fear and loath money. Shoot me an email and tell me all about it. Or let me know if I'm full of s@#$. Either way, I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Very best,
P.S. To turn things around I created a Cue Card workbook that you can use to anticipate and practice your response to the 3 Most Awkward Money Conversations people have when negotiating a new project.
P.P.S. If you are a chronic under earner, and you want to talk about ways to make more money using your creative skills, I've got some ideas for you. Let's talk! Shoot me an email and we'll set-up a time.

WELLINGTON | A local priest has made his second statue donation here in the Diocese of Palm Beach in an effort to spread the message about the saint he knew personally, and the latest gift comes near the 50-year anniversary of the death of the holy man.
"This is my legacy to Padre Pio because he healed me," said Father James DeVita, a retired priest who assists at St. Thomas More Parish in Boynton Beach, where he donated a Padre Pio statue in 2014. In March, he donated another life-size statue of the saint to St. Thérèse de Lisieux Parish in Wellington.
"I am almost 90 years old and I am here today. This is my legacy to Padre Pio. I want to do something for him because he did something for me," said Father DeVita, who knew St. Pio of Pietrelcina — better known as Padre Pio — and credits the saint's healing prayers for his recovery when he was on his deathbed with typhoid fever.
Father DeVita is a priest of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York. He is a native of San Giovanni Rotondo, the city in southern Italy, where he served as an altar boy for Padre Pio, who lived in the city from 1916 until his death. This Sept. 23 marks the 50-year anniversary of the saint's death and the official feast day set aside by the Church to honor Padre Pio, who received the stigmata, the wounds of Christ's crucifixion, and was known for his reputation as a tireless confessor. He was declared a saint in 2002 by Pope John Paul II.
Formal statue-unveiling ceremonies took place March 18 at St. Thérèse de Lisieux following a late-morning Mass, at which Father DeVita concelebrated and gave the homily. The church was packed with parishioners and visitors. During the Mass, he fondly talked about his experiences as a boy with the future saint.
Padre Pio, a Capuchin, was known for his care for the elderly and sick. In 1947, he founded a hospital in San Giovanni Rotondo, the Home for the Relief of Suffering, which continues to operate and provide services to the area. Father DeVita was a patient at the facility when he contracted typhoid, which left him in a coma for five days and on his deathbed. "Padre Pio was notified that I was in a coma," said Father DeVita. "He came to me and blessed me. He told everyone not to worry. He assured the people I would be OK."
In March, Father DeVita celebrated his 88th birthday and in June he will celebrate his 61st year as a Salesian of Don Bosco priest. Reflecting on his priesthood, he recalled celebrating his first Mass in Italy wearing one of Padre Pio's stoles. "I was very privileged to know him," said Father DeVita.
During ceremonies, Father David Downey, pastor of St. Thérèse, blessed the 600-pound statue with holy water, and then blessed all the parishioners and guests. "Father DeVita gave the statue of Padre Pio to the parish," he said. "It is a beautiful statue. Father DeVita knew him personally. We welcome him and all the people here today."
The inscription on the statue gives an inspiring faith message: "Place your heart gently in Our Lord's wounds. Have great confidence in his mercy for he will never abandon you." The closing words at the bottom are a special touch, "A gift from my heart to yours. Father James DeVita." (The same inscription appears on the large statue made in Mexico donated to St. Thomas More.)
"It is a beautiful statue," said parishioner Nella Colombo, who was at the Mass with friends and family. "We love the words on the marble."
Parishioner Camillo Benso traveled to San Giovanni Rotondo to purchase the $10,000 statue for Father DeVita. The large piece, bought from a company located one block from where Padre Pio is buried, was then shipped to Miami.
"Supporters helped with the shipping costs and the marble," Benso explained. When asked why Father DeVita selected St. Thérèse de Lisieux Parish to safeguard the beautiful statue, he said that Italian friends from the Diocese of Rockville Centre, where Father DeVita formerly served, are actively involved at St. Thérèse de Lisieux. He said Father DeVita felt that the parish would provide a good home for the statue, now standing near the front of the church in a prominent spot.
"You now become the spiritual children of Padre Pio," Father DeVita told the St. Thérèse faithful. "Padre Pio told us 'I will be standing at the gates of heaven waiting for my spiritual children. Please place your heart gently in Our Lord's wounds. Have great confidence in his mercy. He will never abandon you.' God bless you and pray for me."
The day before the unveiling in Wellington, Pope Francis made his first visit to the shrine of Padre Pio in Italy. The shrine is a very popular site visited by Catholics each year and the place where Padre Pio's body remains. St. John Paul II, who canonized Padre Pio, visited in 1987, and Pope Benedict XVI came to the area in 2016.
St. Thérèse De Lisieux Parish is located at 11800 Lake Worth Road, Wellington. The large statue is located on the grounds near the west side of the church entrance near the parish pavilion. For information, call 561-784-0689. St. Thomas More is located at 10935 S. Military Trail, Boynton Beach. For information about its statue, call 561-737-3095.

Although not officially a two-parter, there is one episode that is a continuation of the one that ran before it. Who knows what it is? It's not one of the Hollywood episodes.
Views: 96
The Jim Lindsey episodes come to mind.
Sorry, try again Bernie.
The episode in question takes place the day after the previous episode.
I would say "The Return of Barney Fife" followed by "The Legend of Barney Fife".
Correct, Mayor. "The Legend of Barney Fife" takes place the day after the class reunion party.
How about the Hollywood trip

Southeast Asia Adventure: Our Trip
When I first met Casey, it didn't take long for our conversation to land on the topic of travel. We compared stories of our adventures studying abroad in Australia and debated our favorite European cities. It excited me to see someone's eyes light up in the same way as mine when we talked about seeing the world. "What's the main place you're dying to go next?" I asked, already picturing the postcard-perfect beaches and ancient pagodas of my ultimate dream destination.
"Thailand," he said without hesitation.
Perfect. Answer. In that moment, I never would have thought we'd be boarding a plane to Bangkok 10 months later.
As of now, we want to make Thailand our home base for the first few months and go on to explore the surrounding countries of Southeast Asia for as long as we can. We're thinking we'll be gone for about 6 months, although I certainly wouldn't complain if that turned into a more extended stay.
When you're traveling, you never know what might come up. Maybe we'll fall so in love with Laos that we won't make it down to Malaysia. Or maybe we'll be held at the border of Cambodia, forcing us to stay a little longer than we planned. Of course, money is going to be majorly influential so it's hard to set any plan in stone.
But that's just part of the fun.
A lot of the trips I've been on have been rigid and planned to a T. Two summers ago I visited six countries in 18 days, flying from Istanbul to Vienna and road tripping through Central Europe. We booked all of our accommodations beforehand, so we were constantly rushing to make sure we'd reach our next destination on time.
On this trip, I want to travel slow. Live in Bangkok for a few months and get to know the chaotic city. Meet other travelers and learn the local's perspective of the best places to go. Just get there and see where the wind blows us.
That's not to say there aren't a few places that definitely make the must-see list.
Ha Long Bay - Vietnam
Angkor Wat - Cambodia
Wat Rong Khun - Thailand
Shwedagon Pagoda - Myanmar

Adoption of Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln (VSBK) Technology to Tile Manufacturing Industry of Sri Lanka
GSA has been bestowed with the responsibility of adopting "Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln" (VSBK) technology to Tile Manufacturing Industry of Sri Lanka by the Sri Lanka Tile Manufactures Co-op Society Limited under the patronage of Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (SEA). This is the first time that an attempt of this nature is being made to adopt this technology to the tile manufacturing.
VSBK technology is used in many Asian countries such as China, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Vietnam for brick making. VSBK technology has been proved to be 100% more efficient than intermittent Hoffman kilns.
Sustainability of the Sri Lankan Tile Industry is at stake mainly due to the acute shortage of its major fuel source - forest wood. Though there are many restrictions, legislations and regulations preventing indiscriminate exploitation of forest wood and transporting for commercial purposes, it is continuing at an alarming rate posing a major environmental threat.
Having realized the threat to the industry due to acute shortage of forest wood, some time back, tile millers partially switched over to relatively inexpensive and easily available rubber wood. However, nowadays rubber wood has alternative high value uses such as furniture, chip boards, plywood manufacturing, etc. Therefore, tile industry has to again totally rely on forest wood.
Another recent development of fuel switching by the tile millers is the use of saw dust for the 'low temperature firing stage' of the firing cycle. This initiative of using saw dust which is now considered as a waste product as well as environmentally problematic by-product, is a very welcome move. A recent study showed that the majority (around 87%) of tiles mills in Dankotuwa area of Sri Lanka uses saw dust. Average use of saw dust in a mill is around 140 cubes per year and hence the total usage in 'Dankotuwa Tile Industry Cluster' is estimated to be over 28,000 cubes per year. As a result of this fuel switch over, according to tile millers, avoided use of forest wood in the industry is around 75,000 yds year.
However, forest wood is being used for the 'high temperature fire' stage of the firing cycle. In Dankotuwa cluster alone, use of forest wood is estimated to be over 350,000 yards per annum.
Though the supply restrictions and the price escalation of fuel is beyond control, Tile Industry continues to use age old technologies which are very inefficient whereas even the countries in our region use more efficient kilns.
One such low cost and energy efficient technology is the 'Vertical Shaft Brick Kilns' (VSBK) now used in countries such as China, India and Vietnam for brick making. Continuous type VSBK are said to be 100% more efficient than intermittent Hoffman kilns.
Having realized the threat to the industry due to acute shortage of forest wood and the use of inefficient technologies, some millers on their own explored the possibility of adopting more energy efficient firing technologies such as VSBK.
Having also understood that Vietnam is more successful in adopting the VSBK technology compared to other countries and more importantly indigenizing the same to suit local conditions in a relatively short span of time, Tile Manufacturers Co-op Society Ltd decided to adopt the technology by obtaining the required information from Vietnam. A highly welcoming response was received from Vietnam for a request from Sri Lanka to obtain details of this technology by providing opportunity for a Sri Lankan study team to have a fact finding mission in Vietnam from 8th to 11th October 2008.
Since the introduction of VSBK technology to Vietnam in 2002, during the past 6 years, Vietnam now has over 600 such kilns all over the country.
It is believed that the exposure of the Sri Lankan delegation to the operations of VSBK in Vietnam would greatly contribute for its adoption not only for the Sri Lankan Tile Manufacturing industry but also to Sri Lankan Brick Manufacturing Industry which is mostly operative in rural areas making use of age old and highly inefficient and environmentally harmful "clamp kilns".
VINASME (Vietnam Association of Small & Medium Enterprises) and CBC (The Centre for Business Entities and Communities Development) coordinated the entire programme with the invitation of M/s Gamini Senanayake Association Private Limited.
It is expected to complete the project by August 2009.

To understand hair fall better, we need to understand the cycle of hair.
Each hair has a hair root or hair follicle deep inside the skin and a hair shaft or the hair as we see it, coming out of the skin. Each hair follicle gives rise to many hair in its lifetime. So the hair will grow for a fixed period of time, say 2-3 years. Then it enters a transition stage for a few days, where the root separates from the hair. The separated dead hair then is shed off in the shedding stage. At the same time, a new hair starts growing from the roots.
Normally, we have about 85-90% of our hair in growth stage and only 10-15% participate in the shedding stage at any given time.
If our body undergoes any stress - may be due to nutritional deficiencies, or physical stress of an illness or pregnancy or hormonal imbalances and many other forms of stress - the blood supply to hair gets affected. This prevents further growth and the hair in growth stage enters premature shedding stage. This increases the number of hair in shedding stage and we start seeing significant hair fall.
The good news here is that although we have hair fall, at least our hair roots or follicles are intact and they can grow new hair; provided the stress is relieved and we have created a healthy environment (blood supply, nutrients) around the hair follicles.
- Identify and treat the root cause
- Provide the entire range of 14 nutrients needed for hair growth
- Improve the blood supply to the hair roots and nourish the hair roots
- Create growth factors to stimulate new growth

It's often the small mechanical issues that lead to rides being ruined. This 12 point check list will help make sure your ride runs to plan…
Allen keys
Tyre pressure guage
Track pump
1. Check your brakes
Essential for your safety. If you manage only one of these checks, make sure it's the brakes which get done first. Pull the levers with your normal braking force. Push the bike hard forwards: the wheels should be stopped and effectively locked.
Both brakes should operate with the same hand force, come on at the same time and return quickly and cleanly to their off position when released.
2. Check your quick releases
It pays to check your quick release levers for tightness and that they're closed correctly. Make sure the levers are tight and folded in towards the bicycle frame, against the forks on the front and against the chainstay at the back.
3. Are your spokes tight?
Spoke tension isn't usually a critical issue, though keeping it monitored will save you from serious issues. Grip pairs of crossed spokes and give a gentle squeeze. Do this with each pair in turn, on each side of the wheel. You're looking for even tension in all the spokes. Spokes which are dramatically over or under the median tension need looking at.
4. Keep your tyres topped up
Low tyre pressure won't necessarily mean a bad or ruined ride, but if it's too low it can lead to punctures, tyre damage, tyre wear or rim damage. Best to keep a bit more air in them than a bit less. However, too much will make for a bone jarring ride. Follow the manufacturer's recommended pressure range (usually embossed on the sidewall of the tyre), as a starting point and adjust from there.
5. Make sure stem and bar bolts are tight
Ensure that your stem and handlebar bolts are tight, however more tension on stem and handlebar bolts isn't always better, especially with carbon components. In this instance use a torque wrench and tighten to the exact torque specified by the manufacturer.
7. Check for bottom bracket bearing play
Hold the tips of the two crank arms and gently rock them back and fore against each other (perpendicular to the direction of rotation). You're feeling for any sense of looseness or play in the bottom bracket bearing. As they're usually not user adjustable on modern bikes, a loose bottom bracket will need to be replaced.
8. Chain ring bolt and pedal check
Two of the most common and overlooked sources of annoying creaking and squeaking are chain ring bolts and pedals. Give the chainring bolts a tweak just to ensure they haven't backed off.
9. Look out for gear problems
From behind the bike, check that the derailleur hanger is straight and in line with the jockey wheels. Likewise that the jockey wheels are in line with the sprockets. If they're not it's usually a sign that the hanger (occasionally the derailleur arm) is bent. Derailleur hangers can be straightened or replaced, a bent derailleur will usually be replaced.
Run through the indexing: shifts should be clean and crisp. The chain should not be able to be shifted beyond the upper and lower limits of the cassette.
10. Check the frame
Just after a bike wash is a good time to do a check over as the frame is clean, making any cracks or unusual marks in the paint or frame finish easier to spot. Areas to check are under around the headtube, and where the chain stays meet the bottom bracket shell. Anything unusual in look or feel of the tube/joint surface or finish should be investigated.
11. Keep your cleats cosy
Shoe cleats are another hidden issue waiting to ruin a ride. They can work loose and wear out, leading to annoying squeaks and knee-knackering misalignment. Keep them tight, clean, in good repair and properly adjusted.
12. Make sure your phone's charged
Be prepared so you can call home to say I've double flatted, bonked, fallen off, or made it to the top of the biggest hill in the county!

But before I set off for my solo trip to Europe a few months ago, I was quite apprehensive.
In fact, my fears were the reason why I've been planning such trips in my head for years but have never taken the steps to go on one.
But I'm happy to say that the trip gave me plenty of opportunities to confront my beliefs and learn from them.
What were these self-limiting beliefs then?

boot partition and recovery partition backup questions
My device is fully rooted, and I believe the bootloader has been unlocked from the factory. However, I still have the stock recovery image installed because my device is not supported by clockworkmod or twrp. However, I'm eventually going to try messing around with it. So, before I do anything, I want to back things up and make sure I can use the backups.
I used the following guide which helped me backup the boot and recovery partitions.
I used "dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd0 of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096" etc...
I also did the same with romdump and a diff showed that the dd produced images and romdump images were identical.
So, I put these images on my pc and rebooted the phone into fastboot mode.
Then I used the command:
fastboot boot boot.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
both gave me these results:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.348s]
FAILED (remote: incomplete bootimage)
finished. total time: 1.350s
However, another file that I found on the phone at /system/recovery_from_boot.p produced these results:
creating boot image...
creating boot image - 905216 bytes
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.222s]
OKAY [ 0.038s]
However, the phone did nothing and I had to reboot the phone to get it out of fastboot mode.
So, what am I doing wrong here? If I can't use the backup images that I made to boot the phone, the seem to be fairly worthless....
p.s. My phone is a Pantech/Sky IM-A690S from South Korea

Sure, get an operatng system disk and install it. As long as the issue was not caused by a bad hard drive. You don't need a recovery partition or restore disks, but you do need some sort of an oprating system to install. You can get a restore disk from the PC vendor or borrow an OEM disk from someone and use your key.

By Jaclyn Carlson The month of February is a fast & furious one for designers, retailers and creatives about to enter into the wholesale market. Prepare for long days and sleepless nights as suppliers make sure stock and samples are in order and buyers plan out a budget and purchasing decisions. That's right, it's trade fair season and at this time every year the retail industry descends on Sydney to discover the latest and greatest in the Australian market.
If you're a creative thinking about wholesaling, then this post I wrote last year will help shed some light on an often overwhelming situation. If you are already familar with the world of trade shows then you'll understand the long days and sensory overload that comes with visiting the three big retail events that took place this past week: Life Instyle, Reed Gift Fairs and Home & Giving.
Each one has it's own unique selling point but all provide an incredible behind the scenes look at the talent that is right here in Australia. In a time when many people are looking overseas to make purchases or feel that design talent is lacking, this is there perfect opportunity to see, touch and feel products that are raising the bar and putting Australia on the retail map.
Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Jaclyn Carlson is the author behind the Sydney-based blog, Little Paper Trees. When not documenting her expat adventures, she can be found working for one of Australia's top design & homewares trade shows. Passionate and prone to wasting hours on Pinterest, she has years of experience in marketing, advertising and PR and aims to put Sydney's creative women in the spotlight with her monthly column.

Anchovy Fillets
Size: Three 3.17oz jars
Donostia Anchovies come from the Cantabrian Sea, off the coast of Spain's northern Basque region.
Famed for their rich flavor and meaty fillets, connoisseurs place them at the apex of European anchovies, above even the best Italian brands.
• Gluten-free
• Certified kosher*
• Average 18 anchovies per jar
• Sourced from a certified sustainable fishery
• Product of Spain
*Certification occurs in Spain and is attested to by the supplier
These amazing anchovies are sustainably wild-caught in the Cantabrian Sea, which forms the southern portion of the Bay of Biscay.
Upon harvest, they're packed in salt in large barrels to cure in a traditional "salumera" process for 5 to 6 months.
After being salt-cured to ensure complete safety/purity, the fish are hand filleted and jarred in olive oil.

Projection Mapping
Liverpool | Manchester | London | Glasgow
What is Projection Mapping?
Projection mapping is a projection technology used to turn objects into a display for video projection. These objects can be three-dimensional and complex like building facades or simple 2D surfaces like conference stage sets. It's even possible to project onto moving objects.
Most clients that use projection mapping want us to project onto the stage backdrop at their event, onto a product that they are showcasing or onto part of their event venue (either internal walls or the entrance facade).
Our Projection Mapping Services
There are two parts to our projection mapping service:
1. Projection mapping equipment hire
Our AV hire department stocks a range of projectors suitable for projection mapping anything from a small object in a dark room to large buildings. As well as the projectors and lenses that are required for projection mapping, we also supply media servers. Media servers are used to replay the video content and to "map" it onto the building.
2. Content creation
Our content creation department can provide ideas for your video content or can work alongside your own agency or creative team. We create the videos and images that are projected during your event.
Outdoor Projection Mapping
Outdoor projection mapping is a great way to:
- make a big impact as your guests arrive for a gala dinner or awards ceremony.
- provide a huge backdrop to a stage as part of a festival, concert or other outdoor event.
- promote a brand or draw attention to a building to passing traffic.
- launch a new building.
Outdoor projection mapping can be used for a single-day event or left in place for a number of weeks or months. The longer the projection is in place, the less it costs per day to run because you are able to split the cost of setup and content creation over the whole period of the projection.
Outdoor Projection Mapping Example
Stage Set Projection Mapping
Projection mapped stage sets are very popular with conference and awards ceremony organisers. Projection mapping is a fantastic alternative to fully printed graphics for conference stage sets as it offers the change to change the backdrop for each session, include live twitter feeds, incorporate live camera projection and make any PowerPoint slides a seamless part of the conference backdrop.
For awards ceremonies and gala dinners there are some really effective options for projection mapped stage sets including moving graphics during "walk up stings" and winners names appearing across the backdrop. The whole stage set could even be branded with the award category's sponsor's branding for each category.
Stage Set Projection Mapping example
How Much does Projection Mapping Cost?
The cost of projection mapping depends on three main factors:
1. The size of the area that you want to project onto.
The larger the projection surface, the larger the projectors you need. Depending on the size of the projection surface you may need 2 or more projectors.
2. The length and type of video content required
We have a large library of stock video content that can be used to create some stunning stage backdrops and visual imagery on buildings.
Many of our clients prefer us to design and create bespoke content for their projection. This can be one of the most costly parts of a projection mapping project. The cost of content depends on the size of projection, the complexity of the content and the length of the content.
3. Location of the projection
The first consideration is whether the projection is indoors or outdoors. If the projection is taking place outdoors (e.g. onto a building) then one of the main considerations will be what time the event is taking place. Usually projection mapping only works after dusk and the darker it gets the more vivid the projection will be. The further towards daylight the projection is required the brighter the projectors that will be required.
The next thing is to ensure there is a good position for the projectors. Outdoors, this could be another nearby building or an area where small scaffolding towers could be build. Indoors this might be from rigging points in the venue roof or from stands at the back of the room.
4. Length of Projection
Once the content has been created and the equipment has been set up the only additional cost is the daily equipment hire.

My Dog Ate It..../
.... well, ok, he didn't, but if I had actually written something he might have. EXCUSES! So I was fully intending on writing a new post today but due to a number of things which don't matter except that they have "interrogated my plans", as Zach would say, I have not. So, tomorrow.
I would like to quickly make a plea for people not to be shy about signing my Guestbook. I know there are people reading the blog (site admin tells me so :P ) but it would be really great to know who you are! Don't worry, I don't sell anything, there will be no e-mails, solicitations, stalking... much... kidding :) I'll be writing regardless, it's just nice to know who the audience is sometimes.
Oh and my microwave continues to emanate a faint Bacos-like smell despite numerous cleanings. I knew you were wondering ;)

Nevada defines murder as an unlawful killing of a human being done with malice. First-degree murder comprises:
- premeditated killings, and
- felony murder, which are killings done while the suspect is committing a serious felony such as robbery
Second-degree murder comprises unintentional killings where the suspect acted so recklessly that death was a foreseeable consequence.
It may be possible to get murder charges dismissed or plea bargained down to manslaughter. Otherwise, murder is a category A felony carrying a possible life sentence in Nevada State Prison.
In first-degree murder cases, courts may impose the death penalty when the aggravating circumstances outweigh all the mitigating circumstances.
A Murder conviction may be avoided where the defense attorney can show that either:
- the defendant acted in self-defense,
- the killing was an accident,
- the defendant was insane,
- the defendant's confession was coerced,
- the police performed an illegal search, and/or
- the defendant was misidentified as the killer.
In this article, our Las Vegas criminal defense attorneys discuss:
- 1. What are 1st and 2nd-degree murder?
- 2. Can I plea bargain down to manslaughter?
- 3. Will I get the death penalty?
- 4. Will I go to prison?
- 5. How do I fight the charges?
- 6. Will I get charged in federal court?
- 7. Can the case get sealed?
- 8. Will I get deported?
- 9. Nevada homicide offenses
1. What is the legal definition of murder in Nevada?
Murder is the unlawful and malicious killing of another human being. Depending on the circumstances of the case, suspects may be prosecuted for either first-degree or second-degree murder:1
1.1. First-degree murder
First-degree murder comprises any premeditated act of killing. Examples include purposely shooting, stabbing, strangling, poisoning, torturing, or beating someone to death.2
First-degree murder is the most serious crime in Nevada law. The maximum penalty is life in prison or, in some cases, the death penalty.3
1.1.1. Felony murder
First-degree murder also comprises "felony murder." This is when a person kills another while committing any of the following serious felonies:
- rape,
- burglary,
- arson,
- kidnapping,
- robbery,
- child abuse,
- elder abuse, or
- sexual abuse of a child (such as lewdness with a minor)
A person is liable for felony murder even if he/she had no intention of killing anyone while committing the underlying felony."4 Henderson criminal defense attorney Michael Becker gives an example:
Example: James intends to rob his ex-wife Jane of the money she got in their divorce trial. So one night he shows up at Jane's house and instructs her to empty her safe while he holds her up at gunpoint. James' hand is shaking from nerves and accidentally squeezes the trigger, killing Jane. Even though James had no intention to kill Jane, James will face a first degree murder charge because Jane's death occurred while James was committing robbery.
1.1.2. Aiding & Abetting
Accomplices who help others carry out a murder face murder charges themselves even if they did not physically cause the death. Examples of aiding and abetting are:
- "keeping a lookout" while another person is committing the murder
- pretending to be an alibi to the person who committed the murder
- giving information to a person to help him/her commit the murder
In short, accomplices to a killing are treated the same as the "principal" who actually killed the victim.5
Note that aiding and abetting a murder is an entirely different concept from conspiracy to commit murder. The Nevada crime of conspiracy is when two or more people agree to break the law. So if two people conspire together to commit a murder but get caught before they can carry it out, they will still face conspiracy charges.6
1.2. Second-degree murder
Second-degree murder comprises unintentional homicides where the defendant behaved so recklessly that death was a foreseeable result. The classic example is playing Russian roulette: Even if the defendant had no desire to hurt anyone, any reasonable person would know that firing a partly loaded gun at someone carries a high risk of causing death.
Other examples of second-degree murder may include:
- throwing an object off a roof when there is a crowd below, causing the object to strike and kill one of the people on the street
- firing a gun into a building that the defendant wrongly believes is vacant, and an occupant dies
- setting off fireworks knowing there is a person within an unsafe distance, and the person dies from the explosion
Second-degree murder is the second most serious crime in Nevada law after first-degree murder. The maximum penalty is life in prison.7
1.2.1. Death by drugs
Unintentionally causing someone's death by providing him/her drugs is always prosecuted as second-degree murder. An example is bringing brownies laced with ecstasy to a potluck, and one of the guests has a bad reaction to the drug and dies. Learn more about death by drugs in Nevada (NRS 453.333).8
1.3. Attempt murder
Like it sounds, the crime of attempted murder is deliberately trying to kill someone but not succeeding. An example is shooting at someone, but the bullet misses or does not fatally wound the victim.9
Note that if the victim dies from his/her injuries while the defendant is being prosecuted for attempt murder, the prosecutor can switch the charge to murder.10
2. Can a Nevada murder charge be reduced to manslaughter?
Possibly. Murder trials take a lot of time and effort, and prosecutors may be willing to reduce a murder charge to manslaughter as a way to avoid litigation.
Like murder, manslaughter is a type of homicide. But unlike murder, manslaughter is killing without malice and premeditation. There are two kinds of manslaughter in Nevada:
- Voluntary manslaughter is killing in the heat of passion. The typical example is a spouse unexpectedly finding his/her spouse in bed with another person and immediately killing the affair partner out of rage. The maximum prison term is ten years.11
- Involuntary manslaughter is an unintentional killing done while either breaking the law (such as hunting without a license) or by being negligent (such as leaving out a loaded gun). The maximum prison term is four years.12
In addition to carrying lesser penalties than murder, manslaughter also carries less of a social stigma. People with manslaughter convictions may have an easier time moving on with their lives and jobs than people with a murder conviction on their record.
3. Does murder carry the death penalty in Nevada?
Nevada judges may impose the death penalty for a first-degree murder conviction only if:
- the court finds there is at least one aggravating circumstance (such as that the defendant tortured the victim before killing him/her), and
- the aggravating circumstances outweigh all the mitigating circumstances (such as that the defendant was abused as a child)
In short, only first-degree murder qualifies as "capital murder." And the court is required to impose the death penalty only if it finds the defendant more deserving of punishment than mercy.13
Note that defendants who were under eighteen (18) at the time of the killing or who are intellectually disabled may not be sentenced to death.14
Also note that there are various legal recourses defendants can use to try to reverse a death penalty sentence. These include appeals and writs of habeas corpus, which may take several years to work through the court system.
The death penalty is carried out in Nevada by lethal injection at Ely State Prison.15
4. What are the penalties for murder in Nevada?
The possible punishments depend on whether the defendant was convicted of first or second-degree murder. Because second-degree murder comprises unintentional killings, the penalties are less severe:16
|Nevada Murder charge
|Penalties (Category A Felony)
1st-degree murder
2nd-degree murder
When determining the harshness of the final sentence, the judge or jury takes into account all of the aggravating and mitigating circumstances.
Aggravating circumstances are factors that make the murder more shameful. Examples include:
- the defendant tortured the victim prior to killing him/her
- the victim was under 14-years old
- the defendant killed at random without a motive17
Mitigating factors make the defendant more deserving of a lighter punishment. Examples include:
- the defendant grew up in an abusive home
- the defendant has contributed to the community
- the defendant is a good parent18
Note that defendants who were under 18 at the time of the murder may be eligible for parole after serving 20 years in prison.19
Also see our article about Nevada asset forfeiture laws.
4.1. Penalty enhancements
Nevada courts may increase murder sentences by one to twenty (1 - 20) years if:
- the defendant used a deadly weapon such as a gun to commit the murder,20 or
- the victim in the case was aged sixty (60) or older21
4.2. Attempt murder penalties
|Nevada Attempt Murder charge
without poison22
category A felony:
The prison sentence may be increased by one to twenty (1 - 20) years if the defendant used a deadly weapon, or if the victim was aged sixty (60) or older.24
4.3. Conspiracy to commit murder
Conspiracy to commit murder is a category B felony carrying:
- two to ten (2 - 10) years in prison, and
- up to $5,000 in fines (at the judge's discretion)25
5. How do I fight Nevada murder charges?
How best to defend against a murder charge depends on the facts of the case and the available evidence. A defense attorney may seek to establish that:
- The defendant acted in self-defense (or the defense of others)
- The incident was an accident
- The defendant was insane
- The police coerced a confession
- The police conducted an illegal search
- The defendant was wrongly identified as the killer
Note that it is not a defense to murder if the defendant had no clear motive.26
5.1. Self-defense / defense of others
People in Nevada are allowed to kill another person in self-defense or defense of others. But in order to qualify as legal self-defense, the following two conditions must be met:
- it is reasonable to believe that the perpetrator is about to inflict death or substantial bodily harm, and
- the defendant fights back with no more force than necessary to deflect the threat27
In short, a person's decision to defend him/herself or others using deadly force must be reasonable in order for it to serve as a defense to murder charges:
Example: Bart and Brad get into an argument in a crowded bar. Bart yells at him, "If you don't pay me back my money, I will kill you." Scared for his life, Brad takes out his gun and shoots Bart. Although Brad may have genuinely been scared for his life, Bart's "fighting words" were insufficient to place a reasonable person in fear of immediate bodily harm: Bart did not show a weapon or lift a finger, and chances are Bart would not have tried anything in a crowd anyway.
The legal term for Brad's argument in the above example is "imperfect self-defense." Although imperfect self-defense can never get a murder charge reduced, it may persuade a prosecutor to lower a murder charge to manslaughter.
Note that Nevada law allows people to "stand their ground" and fight back as long as they are not the initial aggressor. And the "castle doctrine" permits people in their homes or cars to use deadly force against intruders.28
5.2. Accident
An accidental killing occurs when the following three conditions are true:
- the defendant had no criminal intent to do harm,
- the defendant was not acting in a negligent way at the time of the killing, and
- the defendant was not acting unlawfully at the time of the killing29
In short, an accident serves as a defense to murder when the defendant is legally blameless:
Example: Donna and Dave are standing at the top of a staircase when suddenly Donna trips on the carpet, causing Dave to fall down the stairs and die. Here, Donna should not face murder charges because the incident was a tragic accident: She had no intent to hurt Dave, she was not breaking the law, and she was not acting negligently.
Note that had Donna in the above example been acting unlawfully -- such as by slapping Dave during an argument -- Donna may still be able to escape murder charges because she had no intent to kill Dave. Instead, the prosecutor would probably charge her with involuntary manslaughter.
5.3. Insanity
Nevada courts rely on the "M'Naughten test" to determine whether a defendant is insane. This means that the court may adjudge someone "not guilty by reason of insanity" if the defense attorney can prove that either:
- the defendant did not understand the nature of his/her act, or
- the defendant could not distinguish between right and wrong30
Predictably, defense attorneys often call expert medical witnesses to testify as to the defendant's mental state.
Example: Lily kills her husband after claiming to hear demon voices demanding her to do so. At trial, the defense attorney calls a world-renowned psychiatrist to testify that Lily suffers from a psychosis where she genuinely believes she hears demon voices. If the jury buys the argument that Lily was not motivated by malice when killing her husband, the jury should acquit her.
Many defendants who are acquitted of murder due to insanity are committed to mental institutions.
5.4. False or coerced confessions
Sometimes murder suspects give a fake confession because the police coerced them with such illegal tactics as:
- threatening the suspect's family,
- threatening the suspect with the death penalty, or
- offering laxer treatment in exchange for the suspect confessing31
If the defense attorney can show that the police forced the defendant to make an involuntary confession, the judge may exclude the confession as evidence:
Example: Detective Johnson is interrogating Ray, whom he suspects of killing his girlfriend. The detective threatens to have his children put into foster care instead of with their grandparents if Ray does not confess. Scared for his kids' wellbeing, Ray confesses. But the judge later excludes this confession from evidence because Detective Johnson coerced him by threatening to break up his family.
If the defense attorney succeeds in getting the fake confession thrown out, the prosecutor may be willing to reduce or possibly dismiss the charges.
5.5. Illegal search
The Fourth Amendment limits the extent to which police may conduct searches and seizures. If the police failed to follow proper procedures, the court may be able to exclude any evidence found from the unlawful search:32
Example: Noah is found dead. The police then raid his wife Kay's office, without obtaining a Nevada search warrant. They discover her diary containing fantasies about killing Noah. The police then arrest Kay for Noah's death. At court, Kay's lawyer files a motion to suppress evidence arguing that the police's search was unlawful because they did not get a warrant. If the judge agrees, the court may exclude the diary as evidence. This could greatly weaken the state's case and could cause them to dismiss or lower the charges.
Note that had Kay in the above example consented to the search of her office, then the search would be legal. Consenting to a police search always makes it legal, even if the police do not have legal grounds to search.
5.6. Mistaken Identity
One of the leading causes of wrongful convictions is that the defendant was mistakenly identified as the killer. There are several reasons that eyewitnesses may incorrectly identify a suspect, including:
- Intoxication
- Being fixated on the weapon instead of the killer
- The heightened stress of the situation
- The passage of time between the incident and the identification
- Improper suggestion by law enforcement33
Some ways that a defense attorney can try to demonstrate an eyewitness' unreliability include:
- demanding a live lineup to observe whether the eyewitness can identify the defendant again
- challenging how the police conducted the earlier lineup in order to try to get the identification excluded as evidence
- relying on an "eyewitness identification expert" to cast doubt on the eyewitnesses' memory
If the defense attorney can demonstrate the state's witnesses are unreliable, then the state may be left with insufficient evidence to sustain a conviction.
No matter the defense, the defense attorney's job is to show that the state's evidence is too erroneous, illogical, baseless, or inadmissible for criminal charges to stand.
6. How is murder different in federal court versus Nevada state court?
The definition of murder under federal law is very similar to Nevada's.34 Some situations which elevate murder to a federal crime include:
- killing of a congressman or a judge35
- killing in order to influence a court case, such as killing a witness36
- killing during a bank robbery37
- killing while on a ship38
- killing through the mail, such as package bombers39
Typically, murder suspects face charges in either state or federal court. There are situations where a person can be charged with the same homicide in both state court and federal court, but this is rare.40
|Federal murder conviction
1st-degree murder
2nd-degree murder
Attempt murder
7. Can I get my Nevada murder case sealed?
Eventually, unless the victim was a child:
|Nevada conviction
|Waiting period to get a record seal
Murder of a child under 18
Murder of an adult42
10 years after the case ends
10 years after the case ends
Dismissal of the charge (no conviction)44
No waiting period
8. Will I get deported for murder?
Yes. Murder is an "aggravated felony" as well as a "crime of moral turpitude", both of which are deportable. Aliens who are convicted of murder face removal from the U.S. following completion of their criminal sentence.45
Non-citizens who have been accused of homicide are advised to retain experienced legal counsel right away. A skilled attorney may be able to get the charge dismissed or reduced to a non-deportable offense so the defendant can stay in the U.S. Read about the criminal defense of aliens in Nevada.
9. Other homicide offenses:
|Nevada Crime
|Definition & Penalties
A driver who negligently causes another's death.
As a misdemeanor, the punishment carries:
An impaired driver with 3 prior DUI convictions who causes another's death while behind the wheel.
As a category A felony, the punishment includes 25 years to life in prison (with the possibility of parole after 10 years)
Terminating an unborn baby is manslaughter unless a licensed physician is performing a lawful abortion.
As a category B penalty, the punishment includes:

- See State v. Boudreau, 67 Nev. 36, 214 P.2d 135 (1950)("Motive is not an essential element of murder and need not be proved to sustain a conviction, if the other evidence is sufficient.").

State, 117 Nev. 548, 27 P.3d 66 (2001)("In order to be considered legally insane under M'Naghten, a defendant must labor under a delusion so great that he is incapable of appreciating his surroundings. This delusion must do one of two things: (1) rob the defendant of the ability to understand what he is doing; or (2) deprive the defendant of the ability to appreciate that his action is wrong, that is, not authorized by law."); Hudson v. State, 108 Nev. 716, 837 P.2d 1361 (1992)("A mere history of mental illness is not enough to establish insanity.").
- Watts v. Indiana, 338 U.S. 49, 54 (1949)("involuntary confession in murder case] ("To turn the detention of an accused into a process of wrenching from him evidence which could not be extorted in open court, with all its safeguards, is so grave an abuse of the power of arrest as to offend the procedural standards of due process. This is so because it violates the underlying principle in our enforcement of the criminal law. Ours is the accusatorial, as opposed to the inquisitorial, system. Such has been the characteristic of Anglo-American criminal justice since it freed itself from practices borrowed by the Star Chamber from the Continent whereby an accused was interrogated in secret for hours on end.. Under our system, society carries the burden of proving its charge against the accused not out of his own mouth. It must establish its case not by interrogation of the accused, even under judicial safeguards, but by evidence independently secured through skillful investigation.").
- Black's Law Dictionary (9th ed. 2009), fruit-of-the-poisonous-tree doctrine. ("The rule that evidence derived from an illegal search, arrest, or interrogation is inadmissible because the evidence (the "fruit") was tainted by the illegality (the "poisonous tree") [of the initial search or seizure]. Under this doctrine, for example, a murder weapon is inadmissible if the map showing its location and used to find it was seized during an illegal search.").
- See United States v. Wade, 388 U.S. 218 (1967) ("Since it appears that there is grave potential for prejudice, intentional or not, in the pretrial lineup, which may not be capable of reconstruction at trial, and since presence of counsel itself can often avert prejudice and assure a meaningful confrontation at trial, there can be little doubt that, for Wade, the post-indictment lineup was a critical stage of the prosecution at which he was 'as much entitled to such aid [of counsel] . . . as at the trial itself.'").

You might not imagine that you exactly need much from a small, everyday bag – you know, the kind of thing that you can simply bring with you everywhere and use for whatever you may need to pick up and carry on your travels. Whether you're walking between lectures, going swimming or even just popping to the shop, the right cross-body bag can be immensely useful.
Well, that's exactly why you might want to take a closer look at the Kipling Syro bag that we've got in stock in so many interesting colours and styles right now here at R-Therapy.
A brilliant example of what makes Kipling so great
Before we get to the more specific and practical features of the Kipling Syro, let's just consider its all-round look.
As with other models of Kipling bag, you can purchase the Syro in such colours and styles as Tile White, Galaxy Orange, Dazz Soft Aloe, Sugar Stripes and Pink Chevron. Whatever option you pick, you can have a bag that's as vibrant and fun as the entire Kipling brand has always been.
Oh, and then there's the monkey key ring that has been associated with Kipling from the beginning. In short, when you buy a Kipling bag, you'll get one of these, and they're wonderfully collectable – not to mention cute – little things!
The Syro can store just about anything
For a bag that looks relatively small from the outside, the Kipling Syro is marvellous at storing pretty much anything you need to store when you're 'on the go'.
The rear section of the zipped main compartment alone includes a zipped pocket and a clipped key cord, but if you look to the front section, you'll see that there are also two drop pockets for your mobile phone and MP3 player, as well as a pen pocket.
With the Syro also offering zipped front and back pockets and a front pop-out pocket with a Velcro-fastened flap over, as well as the adjustable shoulder strap that actually enables you to wear it across the body, it's clear that you will rarely need any other bag for day-to-day use.
The even better news is that all of these colours and styles of the Kipling Syro – and so many more – are in stock right now in the R-Therapy online store, often heavily discounted.
So, why not take advantage now of the excellent deals that we can presently offer, together with our free 48-hour delivery within the UK via Royal Mail 2nd Class? We'll even dispatch your Kipling Syro on the same working day if you order before 3pm.

NHS gets new head of mental health
SUICIDE prevention worker Karen Smith has taken up the role of NHS Shetland's head of mental health.
Smith has worked as the health board's Choose Life coordinator as well as its alcohol and drugs development officer.
She accepted the offer of a 12-month secondment after NHS Shetland failed to recruit to the post.
The job, which was advertised as a secondment opportunity across the health board and Shetland Islands Council, works across health and social care and also links into voluntary groups.
NHS Shetland – which has been criticised in the last number of years for its mental health service – said that Smith has "extensive experience of service management, redesign, commissioning and development".
Director of community health and social care Simon Bokor-Ingram said Smith would bring "first-hand" experience to the role.
Smith told Shetland News in March that there had not been a single suicide in the isles in 18 months after she oversaw the roll out of training across the community.
She said there are a "really dedicated team of people" working in the mental health sector in Shetland, but she said there is a "real issue" with recruitment and retention of staff in the isles.
"I've been in Shetland for 15 years, and I started off as manager of the youth information service. For the last ten years I've been the alcohol and drug development officer and Choose Life coordinator," Smith said.
"I was based in here for a year, so I kind of got to see some of the operational stuff from the mental health team, but the head of service is much wider than just the mental health team because it's health and social care, so it's across both the NHS and the SIC."
"I am delighted to welcome Karen to this post, and that she brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience will help us to develop the mental health service in a wider sense across Shetland, working with other statutory agencies and third sector and community partners," Bokor-Ingram added.
"Karen has first-hand perspectives from the community with the work she has been doing particularly for Choose Life, travelling around the isles and talking to residents about their mental health."

Had a transfusion yesterday, and although I needed platelets too, it was just barely. They were higher than I expected...hell, all my counts were higher than I expected. I've been taking some new chinese herbal thingies from ...no really. She wears these glasses that look like she's about to enter a luge competition. She's true blue Eugenian, a crazy weird mix of hippy and yuppy...LL Bean and McKenzie Outfitters clothing and talks all oldschool, having studied under a chinese acupucturist from CHINA, you know...and has this little dog that kinda looks like a hairy turd but you can't help liking either of them once you get to know them and they seem to be helping. Stay the course, listen to your doctors, don't do anything rash, just do what you're told and you'll be fine.
Am super stoked to be going home tomorrow, getting the hell out of town. As much as I love Eugene and the people and the atmosphere...sometimes you just need a change of scenery. I liken it to a cat who's had too much pleasure and then starts biting you, you know? Just had enough and need something different. So going home to the Coos, hoping to avoid getting this cough that's lingering in my chest...hang out with my girls and maybe shoot some lovely coastaly stuff. *le sigh* just to bask in my parents' radness and get homecooked meals.
