Not only are chemical manufacturers regulated, the regulating agencies vary depending on the chemicals produced. The ATF, DEA, FSIS, EPA or FDA may be involved. Most likely, more than one agency will require compliance documentation.
The ingredients or the finished products may be controlled substances. Inventory storage can be problematic with chemicals. Some have particular storage requirements regarding temperature or humidity. Others should not be stored in combination, like chlorine and ammonia. Many chemicals have a limited shelf life. Some chemicals have strict regulations concerning disposal. Even shipping is regulated in many cases. The inventory system should assist with all of these issues.
Order entry and fulfilment has some interesting issues as well. If the chemicals are restricted, the order entry system must identify the customer securely. The required material safety data sheets (MSDSes) must be enclosed. The shipping labels must include any required warnings. The receiving system should mirror the order entry and fulfillment systems. The vendor should be securely identified. The vendor should issue an advance shipping notice (ASN). Any discrepancies should be identified by the system and sent to management so that the appropriate authorities are notified.
Standard features are:
Firms that manufacture controlled chemicals generally have on-premise enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Firms that make less-restricted chemicals, particularly small and medium-sized companies, may choose to use cloud-based solutions.
Chemical manufacturers should examine the following functions to meet their unique requirements:
|Available to promise, Capable to promise
|Available to promise (ATP) and capable to promise (CTP) are measures of manufacturing capacity. The system should calculate the ATP and CTP for any stock item, accounting for ingredients on hand and any work in process.
|MSDS handling
|OSHA requires that the MSDS for a product be delivered by the seller, but only for certain customers. The system should have a repository of all MSDSes. The fulfillment system, based on information from the CRM system, should identify (or produce) any required data sheets for packing.
|Integration with ERP
|If the chemical manufacturing facility is part of a larger operation, the manufacturing software must integrate with the parent software. It can either be a set of modules of an ERP system or or it can pass required transaction data.
|Lot tracing and recall management
|Each lot must be identified and tracked. The ingredients of each batch must be tied to their individual batch number as well.
|Recall management
|Recalls are initiated for two reasons. First, a problem in the process causes a product to become tainted or contaminated. Second, an ingredient is tainted or contaminated. In either case, the system needs to identify all of the affected batches and the customers that received those batches.
|Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) compliance
|The system should support reporting for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) management, in accordance with HACCP Principle 7: "Establish record-keeping and documentation procedures."
|ATF compliance
|If a chemical manufacturer makes explosives or any of the components used in explosives, it is subject to ATF oversight. The Safe Explosives Act, among others, details required compliance reporting, including reporting theft and loss.
|FDA compliance
|If a chemical manufacturer makes products that are used in the manufacturing of food or drugs, the compounds may be regulated by the FDA. The system should provide all compliance reporting and support the petitioning process. The system should maintain records in compliance with the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002.
|Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) compliance
|If the chemical manufacturer makes products for agricultural purposes, it may be subject to FSIS-specific sections of HACCP, sections 326.6(b) and 381.606(b). The system should maintain records as mandated under section 417.5.
|DEA compliance
|If the chemical manufacturer makes products or uses ingredients regulated under the Controlled Substances Act, it is subject to oversight from the DEA. The system should document compliance with the act and have access to a current database of controlled substances, regulated chemicals and analogues.
|Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) compliance
|If the chemical manufacturer makes or uses products listed under the Toxic Substance Control Act, the substance may be regulated by the EPA. The system should maintain all compliant records as well as preparing a pre-manufacture notice (PMN) before a new compound is created.
|Recipe management and batch sizing
|The system should include recipe management, including ingredient substitution and batch scaling. In some cases, ingredients are encoded to keep the recipes secret. Advanced systems can size batches to quantities of ingredients in stock.
|Quality assurance
|The system should support quality assurance (QA) testing. The protocols should be documented and implemented through the software. The QA system should randomly identify samples for testing and compare test results against norms. Advanced systems will feature dashboards that will alert management to problems with quality.
|Code of Federal Regulations 21 Part 11 compliance
|Strictly speaking, no software package can be 21 CFR Part 11 compliant because the rule stipulates administrative and procedural controls as well as technical implementation for electronic and hybrid record keeping. However, it can support 21 CFR Part 11 by completely implementing the technical requirements.
|Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) compliance
|cGMP compliance is required for many regulatory agencies at the state and federal levels as well as for insurance purposes. The system should produce required compliance reports.
|Yield variances
|The system should track actual yield versus expected yield for each batch. The system should report excessive variance based on user-defined thresholds and indicate if variances are so large that regulating agencies should be notified.
|Packing & drumming
|The inventory system must be able to value and price items in different container sizes. It must also identify or generate suitable labels for containers.
|Inventory storage planning
|Some chemicals require a specific storage environment. Some are dangerous to store in combination. The inventory system and receiving systems should notify any special requirements. Advanced systems will have three-dimensional models of the storage areas for products and ingredients and automatically check for potential storage issues.
|Expiration tracking
|Both chemical ingredients and chemical products can have limited shelf lives. The system needs to track expired and close-to-end-of-life inventory.
|Many chemicals have restrictions on shipping either via USPS or common carrier. The system should identify any special requirements and produce appropriate shipping labels.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

"Bongos … we heard bongos in the middle of the mountains … finally, we broke through the fog and entered what seemed another world. Up above, blue skies, but on the ground was one big festival, party.—Ralf P.
Thanks, Ralf, we had an awesome time too. Ralf was just one of the many who put grandma's house on the backburner during Easter weekend to attend the First Annual Baldy Banked Slalom. Conditions on the hill were looking good, as the So Cal mountains had received a fresh layer of snow the night before. Saturday's early morning fog cleared throughout the day and people in their vintage gear, costumes, and race bibs were ready for a full day of riding.
With over 50 people racing, the competition was deep to win Arbor snowboards, skateboards, apparel, and Mt. Baldy season passes. As the slalom course received its final grooming for the riders to blaze down, DJ Eric provided the beats on the outside Baldy deck with his turntable/bongo drum combo. The vibe was solid all day and the Arbor tent shared its love with 2007 demo snowboards.
The men's race was a tight finish as first, second, and third place were separated by less than a second, but Andrew Marriner claimed first with a time of 1:13. Women's winner, Jaime Donnelly, dominated the competition and finished in 1:18.
Special thanks to all who attended and to Ole Ellingson of Mt. Baldy for helping make this event not only possible, but also ridiculously fun. You know the Baldy Banked Slalom is coming back strong for years to come!

Miniature Horse
Miniature Horse
A monumental miniature, this polished perch is perfect for stashing your rings, earrings or accoutrements.
Each piece is designed and sculpted by Jonathan and his team in our Soho studio. Next, it's cast in solid brass and polished to perfection by hand. Like a fine wine or your favorite leather jacket, our brass only gets better with age. Over time, the polished brass will develop a rich natural patina. If desired, buff out fingerprints and surface. And here's a nifty designer's tip: If you have no patience for patina, drop your brass in a bucket of acetone (but only at your own risk).

Pets, Pets,
Note: This column which first appeared here 10/ 19/06 is being reprinted because it has been nominated for a Muse Medallion in the editorial category of the Cat Writers Association (CWA) Communication Contest, but more important, because it has been a year, and Babylon Shelter has not begun a mandatory spay/neuter program prior to adoption. The vets' response to the bid has been disappointing. The Town is in the process of trying to offset the adoption price, so Babylon fees are comparable to other municipal shelters. Hopefully that will happen soon, very soon.
Spaying and neutering pets prior to adoption is the only way to ensure that these animals won't add to the staggering pet overpopulation problem. Bonds, vouchers, and certificates are not a sure thing. All municipal shelters in Nassau and Suffolk, with the exception of Babylon Town Shelter, now perform mandatory altering before the animals go to new homes. Even NYC shelters have made great strides via the Mayor's Alliance and Maddie's Fund. Hopefully, Babylon will become proactive ASAP. Despite many years of preaching, I blame myself, in part, for not being able to convince my Town Hall how crucial mandatory spay/neuter is to block future animal suffering and expense to taxpayers.
Some somber statistics: .... an unspayed cat, her mate, and their offspring, producing two litters a year can total 11.6 million cats in nine years... one unspayed dog and her pups can produce 67 thousand dogs in 6 years ( Spay USA)...seven dogs and cats are born everyday for each person born in the US. Only 1 in 5 of these stay in their original home for their lifetime (HSUS)...The cost of having a pregnant female can be higher than the cost of spaying... In a 1997 survey of 1,038 US shelters, over 56 percent of the dogs and 71 percent of the cats surrendered were euthanized.....It cost shelters approximately $100 to capture, house, feed, and eventually kill each homeless animal. (Doris Day Animal League)
Reputable non-profit groups always require animals to be castrated before placement. Municipals rarely offered this "bonus' in the past. Hempstead Shelter was the latest to send adopted animals to a vet to be altered. That leaves Babylon as the only LI municipal shelter still using the $35 New York State neuter bond which does little to encourage compliance.
The other L.I. pounds accomplish mandatory spay/ neuter for adopted animals in a variety of ways. Some transport the animals to the cooperating vet (hired by contract or, in rare cases, pro bono), and the new owners either pick up their pet at the hospital or the shelter; some have vets perform the operations at clinics adjoining the shelter. Certain Towns allow early castrations on puppies and kittens, at least eight weeks or two pounds; while others collect the neuter fee in full and require the infant pet to come back when 6 months old for the traditional spay/neuter. Fees vary by Town, but include rabies shots for animals over three months and NYS licenses for dogs
Some shelter specifics: Brookhaven is fortunate to have an animal hospital next door. The Town has a contract with a vet there. Residents can also bring their pets for low cost spay/neuter. Oyster Bay also uses a bid. The shelter delivers all adopted animals to the designated hospital. Surgeries are performed there; already castrated animals are verified; and owners pick up their new dog or cat at that vet. Southold sends their dogs/cats to one of two cooperating clinics, and even puts registered microchips in the pet. Huntington has a combined municipal/nonprofit effort, also a separate dog and cat shelter, with the League for Animal Protection volunteers working out of the 2 Town shelters. No adopted pet leaves without being altered first.
Thanks to the perseverance of (retired) director Matt Caracciolo, Islip Shelter has a spay clinic in a trailer next to the shelter. The Town and VCA Animal Hospitals work as a team. The Town bought the trailer, pays utilities, and hired a vet tech and kennel aide. VCA owns the medical equipment and provides a veterinarian for spay/neuter twice a week. They share the cost of supplies. As a follow up, VCA offers a free first exam at any of their 8 hospitals on LI. A similar plan could work beautifully at Babylon Shelter too, plus it would also solve their time consuming problem of having ACOs transport every animal even owner redemptions- to a hospital for rabies shot. A vet, a vet tech- a wish come true.
In October, 2001, New York State passed a law giving municipal shelters 2 choices: either neuter the adopted animal before it leaves, or charge a state $35 bond to be refunded when the owner shows proof of surgery. Unclaimed money went into a fund that financed state low cost certificates. Participating vets would perform spay/neuters for about $30. These certificates are a well-guarded secret. The vets are few and far between. I've seen one used in five years. As of 2006 new, unclear rules state that now the owner has to apply to Albany for a voucher and supply proof of financial need, like food stamps. How many are going to take the time to do that?
I also blame the state for coming up with a perfunctory option that doesn't curb overpopulation. It's paperwork heavy with little benefit. Responsible owners will neuter whether there is a bond (which isn't deducted from the surgery cost) or not. You have only two months to comply. I've asked vets for extension notes for rescued dogs with heartworm. Many folks will hear a neutering price of $100+, especially on a big dog, and opt to forfeit the $35. In our "throw-away" society, some will return Mama and her pups/kittens to the pound. If shelters neuter for you, one price fits all- Yorkie to St. Bernard. When the law first passed, I called the State Attorney to see if owners would still have to pay the bond on strays that appeared neutered but didn't have vet proof. He said they hadn't thought of that, and he'd get back to me. I'm still waiting.
Uninformed critics- including those who never set foot in a pound- often make comments, disparaging Town shelters, labeling them good or bad.
You can't compare the animal problems of a huge Town to a small one, or impoverished areas to those of the affluent. I'm quick to defend Babylon Shelter which serves residents of all incomes. For 24 years I've watched a small staff, without a vet or vet tech, try to help countless, neglected animals. As a former educator in a hard-working, lower socio-economic district, I resent these shelter rankings, as I do the berating of students' test scores in poor communities. Animal control is similar in that neighborhoods and tax bases feeding into the shelters determine the number and condition of animals arriving, and the money available for programs.
It's time that Babylon become as progressive as the rest of LI and NYC , and devise a plan for mandatory spay/neuter of all adopted shelter animals before release. Let's get started now. I may be mistaken again, but I think that Babylon Town Hall is open to suggestions and help from other Town shelters, humane groups, and me- that disappointed, defensive preacher.
Presently Babylon Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon is packed with dogs and cats needing forever homes. This male mini Poodle in Cage 23 had a beauty bath by a volunteer last week. He can jump like a happy circus dog. In contrast, "Sadie" in Cage 55 is a sad sack, a 1 year petite Pit/Border Collie, hiding in the kennel but so lovey -dovey when out. Only have room to list a few this week:
Female: a Ridgeback mix Cage 51; "Coco"- chocolate Cocker Spaniel in the Puppy Room.
Male: "Seuss"- parti-color Cocker Spaniel Cage 67; "Santana"- shy Shep. mix rock star Cage 43.

Economics alumna Alaska-bound after accepting position with North Pacific Fisheries Management Council
Sarah Marrinan '09 and her proactive approach to learning in and out of the classroom while a student at Lake Forest College prepared her for graduate school and her new position as a fisheries economist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
A year and a half after graduating from Lake Forest College, Sarah Marrinan '09 decided her career goals in economics required a master's degree. So, she decided to go to graduate school.
She contacted several of her professors asking for letters of recommendation; she knew they would remember her.
With the help of letters from Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Economics and Business Rob Lemke, A. B. Dick Professor of Economics Robert Baade, Volwiler Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science Edward Packel, and Associate Professor and Chair of Communication David Park she was accepted into the University of Maine's Resource Economics and Policy graduate program and offered a research fellowship.
And so began Marrinan's path that, starting September 16, continues as a Fisheries Economist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) North Pacific Fisheries Management Council in Anchorage, Alaska. There, she will be developing and presenting reports on policy and economic work for stakeholders of the fisheries industry.
"I discovered this position when I was in grad school. Despite not having a lot of experience with fisheries specifically, I was really excited by the prospect. I've spent a couple of summers in Alaska and had developed an interest in this resource market," said Marrinan, who graduated from UMaine in the summer of 2012. "It aligned my professional interest of resource economics with my personal interest in fisheries."
Marrinan said her experience at Lake Forest College as an economics and communication double major prepared her for graduate school course work.
"Economists aren't well known for their writing skills. Comm courses at Lake Forest gave me the advantage in this department and really balanced out my skillset," she said.
In addition to gaining fundamental writing and critical thinking skills, she appreciated working with "great professors who, when I called them a year and a half out of college, they still remembered me and wrote recommendations."
In mid-July, she emailed some of her professors to thank them for their support and inform them about her new position.
"I wanted to make sure they knew how helpful their references were and indirectly will continue to be," she said. "My economics and math professors triggered my passion for economic theory. They should know how far their networks extend, and I know that Lemke in particular likes to keep track of his past students. Even though Lake Forest is a small college, we have an impressive network of alumni."
In her email, she also offered to talk to undergraduate Foresters with similar career ambitions, particularly those interested in the Washington, D.C. area. That is where Marrinan has been completing a research fellowship at the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Center for Environmental Economics since earning her master's degree. Her last day was September 6.
She advises current Lake Forest College students to use their time as an undergraduate to understand their interests, not to undersell their strengths, and to be proactive.
"Because Lake Forest College is a small environment, if you want to have campus events, you have to set them up. And if you want people to come to your events, you have to go out and recruit them. That ability to be proactive is a skill that Lake Forest students develop, and it becomes a huge asset," she said. "Searching for a job is tough. You have to be proactive."

A pancreatic islet cell
Alternative Names
Islet cell tumors; Islet of Langerhans tumor; Neuroendocrine tumors
In the healthy pancreas, cells called islet cells produce hormones that regulate a several bodily functions. These include blood sugar level and the production of stomach acid.
Tumors that arise from islet cells of the pancreas can also produce a variety of hormones, which can lead to specific symptoms.
Pancreatic islet cell tumors can be noncancerous (
Islet cell tumors include:
- Gastrinoma (
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome)
- Glucagonoma
A family history of multiple
Symptoms depend on which hormone is made by the tumor.
For example, insulinomas produce insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels. Symptoms may include:
- Feeling tired or weak
- Shaking or sweating
- Headache
- Hunger
- Nervousness, anxiety, or feeling irritable
- Unclear thinking or feeling uneasy
- Double or blurry vision
- Fast or pounding heartbeat
If your blood sugar gets too low, you may faint, have a seizure, or even go into a coma.
Gastrinomas make the hormone gastrin, which tells the body to make stomach acid. Symptoms may include:
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Ulcers in the stomach and small bowel
- Vomiting blood (occasionally)
Glucagonomas make the hormone glucagon, which helps the body raise blood sugar levels. Symptoms can include:
- Diabetes
- Red, blistery rash in the groin or buttocks
- Weight loss
- Frequent urination and thirst
Exams and Tests
Blood tests may vary depending upon the symptoms, but may include:
Fasting glucoselevel Gastrin level Glucose tolerance test Secretin stimulation testfor pancreas Blood glucagonlevel Blood insulin C-peptide
- Blood insulin level
Imaging tests may be done:
Abdominal CT scan Abdominal ultrasound
- Endoscopic
ultrasound MRI of abdomen
A blood sample may also be taken from a vein in the pancreas for testing.
Sometimes, surgery is needed to diagnose and treat this condition. During this procedure, the surgeon examines the pancreas by hand and with ultrasound.
Treatment depends on the type of tumor and if it is cancerous.
Cancerous tumors can grow quickly and spread to other organs. They may not be treatable. Tumors are usually removed with surgery, if possible.
If cancer cells spread to the liver, a part of the liver may also be removed, if possible. If the cancer is widespread, chemotherapy may be used to try and shrink the tumors.
If the abnormal production of hormones is causing symptoms, you may receive medications to counteract their effects. For example, with gastrinomas, the overproduction of gastrin leads to too much acid in the stomach. Medications that block stomach acid release can reduce symptoms.
Outlook (Prognosis)
You may be cured if the tumors are surgically removed before they have spread to other organs. If tumors are cancerous, chemotherapy may be used, but it usually cannot cure patients.
Life-threatening problems (such as very low blood sugar) can occur due to excess hormone production, or if the cancer spreads throughout the body.
Possible Complications
- Diabetes
- Hormone crises (if the tumor releases certain types of hormones)
Severe low blood sugar (from insulinomas)
- Severe ulcers in the stomach and small intestine (from gastrinomas)
- Spread of the tumor to the liver
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of these tumors, especially if you have a family history of MEN I.
There is no known prevention for these tumors.

Most court cases involving patent law are corporate battles, with one company suing another for infringing on its intellectual property rights and, therefore, profits. Big companies fighting over big money can seem painfully irrelevant, especially when so many of us are simply struggling to get by.
But the case coming before the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday challenging two patents is a different animal, with enormous implications for both our health and shared humanity. The patents in question are on two human genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, commonly referred to as the "breast cancer genes."
We all have these genes in the cells of our bodies, but certain variants in some people significantly increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Learning whether you have these risk-elevating mutations can be important because it gives you the opportunity to consider increased surveillance (such as cancer screenings and mammography) and even surgery to remove healthy organs.
The patents give one biotechnology company, Myriad Genetics Inc., sweeping control of the two genes. Myriad's monopoly harms women's health, impedes cancer research and raises important ethical questions about control over the human genome.

Hello Loves,
I'm so on a roll right now an I'm loving it. I have been enjoying the shooting and the posting here on my blog and on my Instagram. My goal for this year is to double the amount of subscribers on my YouTube and on my Instagram. I feel that if I keep the content coming I will reach that goal. Nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it and know that nothing is handed without some hard work. Life can be what you make of it, so be wise.
I love this whole look. It looks very chic and sophisticated...almost makes me look like those elegant back in the day movie stars. At least I know that this may be something they would have worn.

Hello everybody,
I wonder if anyone can answer my noob enquiry
I'm using Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.10 with 3.4.2 kernel.
Whenever I try to choose from the desktop setup : Bare desktop with no icons, it don't save this setting and next session i find all the icons are still there, same as with the Rox panels i create, they disappear after reboot.
If this is fixed in Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.12 .. please advice me how can upgrade my version without losing the setting i have for now.

Post subject: No Desktop Icon Problem with Exprimo 5x3.4.12
I don't like desktop icons or complex menus. So I remove the former, and added a couple application launchers to JWM's tray, and fbpanel (on the left of attached screenshot, currently unhidden by mouse-over). My settings are persistent over reboots. But I don't recall having a problem with 5x3.4.10 either. Default desktop icons used to appear on reboot if I changed (added or deleted) Sfses, but I think that the recent builds overcame that.
Correct me if I'm wrong: (1) to remove the desktop icons you right-click them and select remove. (2) to Add/change JWM's tray launchers you use JWM Configuration from the menu & click to restart JWM; and (3) that your settings are OK until you reboot.
Aside from removing some/all desktop icons, what other display configurations/settings are you making? It appears that you're using Conky, but what did you use to obtain the icons/launchers on the top panel?
5x3.4.12 with only desktop drive icons, Jwm tray & fbpanel

Thanx mikeslr,
This is my first month as linux user, 2nd week as puppy user, and i admit this is the most helpful community in the linux world
I'm using on the top "wbar" and at the sides of the screen "pwidgets" application that is based on Conky.
My issue is that the some savings are not persistent in Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.10..as you see in the screenshot the option of no desktop icons is already saved from the last session, i don't alter or change any settings.. just save and reboot, next session comes with the icons appearing and the rox panel i have on the top is gone too.

If Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.12 got this fixed I was wondering .. whether i can upgrade my current distro without losing my installed applications and my saved settings ?

I used to have problems with rox pinboard icons coming back as well. What worked for me was to delete the icons, then remove the file named
and then reboot. If that does not work for you, try editing the file named
and remove whatever icon entries you like from that file...and reboot.
I've tried tinycore and slitaz, which are also great tiny distros ...smaller even than puppy, but I stick with puppy becuase of the wealth of knowledge in this forum, and it's helpful members.

Thanx Tman,
That trick solved the issue
.. it worked after deleting : PuppyPin & PuppyPin-CPY & PuppyPinTMP files from /tmp/.. though the PuppyPin file was only having backdrop reference for the "Pwidgets" application.
After searching I could guess there might be an incompatibility issue for the conky based Pwidgets with dpup distro's generally .. that's is why the desktop was reverting to its default settings in my case ..
If so I'm wondering if pemasu can make for a us a compatible dpup pet for pwidgets.
I'm about to upgrade Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.10 to 5.X.3.4.12 .. Can I synchronize my current settings to the new version ..i.e, make a pet for current theme and apply it into the new version?

Post subject: Desktop icons & upgrading
Hi again Xtanova,
First, while still in 5x3.4.10, follow the advice Tman gave. He knows far more than I about a Puppy's internal workings. I'm glad he responded because frankly, I didn't know why you had that problem, while I didn't. I suspected it might have something to do with how Conky --which I haven't used recently-- interacts with PuppyPin and was going to suggest you post your question on the Conky Thread.
As far as I recall, both 5x3.4.10 and 5x3.4.11 use the same kernel as that now used in 5x3.4.12, both being merely "bug-fix" upgrades although 11 & 12 were built using a newer Woof. So it's unlikely that applications you've added won't work, or settings won't carry over, with one important exception. The first time a "new" puppy uses the SaveFile from a prior version, the default desktop icons may show up. Tman's recommendations which involve deleting default instructions --if they worked in "10"-- may carry over to '12'. If not, you'll have to repeat them.
A couple of things I'd suggest before you upgrade. First, backup your SaveFile to a protected location. When Puppy boots it will look for SaveFiles at the root of every drive/partition, and in every folder one level down. If it finds more than one SaveFile, it will offer you a choice of which to use.
It will not look in a folder within a folder:
3rd level folder with the root of a drive/partition being the first level. You can't ordinarily backup a SaveFile while its in use. But you can backup a SaveFile if you booted Puppy without it, from another Puppy, or from Windows if it can read/write the partition on which Puppy is located. If none of those options are available, consider installing Hot Backup:
. You can always re-install a Puppy which worked for a newer one which didn't.
Second, make a note of what applications you installed in 10. Then take a look at the changes which were made in 11 & 12: They're on the first page of this thread. Before upgrading, delete any applications which have been added to the new version, or which applications in the new version may have rendered superfluous. No reason to waste SaveFile space on them.
Two other things I recommend if you haven't already done so: (1) use Grub4Dos as your bootloader --it will automatically create menu listings for Windows, Frugally installed Puppies and almost all "Full Install" Linux distros. (2) Place Puppy's necessary files in a distinct folder rather than at the root of a drive/partition. I don't want to "hijack" this thread more than necessary. PM me if you want to know why, or need help.

Xtanova. Pwidgets is over my coding skills, which are frankly quite poor. Pwidgets has old conky version, it would need updating. I would say Pwidgets works as it works. Good that you got answers to your problem.
If you have your liked desktop created and you poweroff and reboot, your desktop has been backed up. There is desktop restore menu entry in Desktop section also. The desktop will be backed automatically with every shutdown. If you click that desktop restore, it will restore the last saved desktop.
Removing those temp PuppyPins was good advice, thank you guys.
Pelo. I would need much more information. If english is not fluent for you, why dont you pm to my account, write in french longer post about the problem, execute
dmesg > dmesg.gz
lspci - nn > lspci.gz
in console and also post those created files as attachments. I can translate your french with google translator, and it would be easier for both of us.

Once again I got bothered by DPMS (Power Save screensaver, standard on laptops), because I forgot to install my own little solution (see
) upon upgrading to Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.12. I never use any screensaver, that's why I feel bothered. So I digged a bit deeper.
There is an initialization error in /usr/bin/pupx. Right after the very first boot, Screensaver Control in PupControl --> Desktop is off, but DPMS is not turned off, as it should be. I found that by turning on the screensaver and turning it off right away again, DPMS is then disabled. It can be enabled/disabled again afterwards.
The initialization error is in /usr/bin/pupx (tail of the file):
echo -n "" > /tmp/pupx_finalparams
/tmp/pupx_mouseaccel.sh $MOUSEACCEL $MOUSETHRESHOLD quiet
/tmp/pupx_keyboard.sh $KEYBOARDVOL $KEYBOARDAUTO $KEYBOARDDELAY $KEYBOARDRATE quiet
/tmp/pupx_screen.sh $SCREENSAVERFLAG $SCREENSAVERDELAY $SCREENSAVERCYCLE $SCREENSAVERBLANKING $SCREENSAVEREXPOSURES quiet
echo -n "xset " > $HOME/.xset.sh
cat /tmp/pupx_finalparams >> $HOME/.xset.sh
chmod x $HOME/.xset.sh
#...this is evaluated at bootup by $HOME/.xinitrc
# Cleanup
rm -f /tmp/pupx_mouseaccel.sh
rm -f /tmp/pupx_keyboard.sh
rm -f /tmp/pupx_screen.sh
rm -f /tmp/pupx_finalparams
This is not happening, at least for /tmp/pupx_screen.sh and /tmp/pupx_finalparams.sh. I outcommented these two, rebooted and didn't find them in /tmp. As a consequence, .xinitsrc does not find .xset.sh in root and DPSM is not turned off initially:
/root/.xinitrc, excerpt starting at line 75:
if [ -f /root/.xset.sh ];then
#this is created by /usr/bin/pupx... <<< no, see above
eval "/root/.xset.sh" <<< doesn't exist
##Xorg has it's own fontpath settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf...
#if [ "`readlink /usr/bin/X`" != "Xorg" ];then
# #xset fp+ /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/
# #xset fp+ /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/
# xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/
# xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF/
xset s 600 600 s blank <<< so DPMS is not turned off
I guess this won't bother too many users and there's a workaround. So it is not a great priority. Nevertheless, a script should do what it is supposed to do. I have difficulty in proposing a definite solution, i.e. an update to /usr/bin/pupx. I'm sure that Puppy experts can do that in the blink of an eye....

Linuph. It is about preferences. I can disable sceensaver AND DPMS in ./xinitrc as default....as I told it is about preferences.
/usr/bin/pupx works as it is designed, probably years ago. Xinitrc script checks if pupx generated /root/.xset.sh is found. It is not found if you have not generated that file with pupx. Those temp scripts are there in /tmp during you use the pupx. As it is executed by the script, those files are deleted after exiting from the script.
Now....what could be put to the /root/.xinitrc, when .xset.sh is not found and it is not executed because it is not found, the .xinitrc executes now this:
xset s 600 600 s blank
and.... NO, DPMS is not disabled by that command:
usage: xset [-display host:dpy] option ...
To control Energy Star (DPMS) features:
-dpms Energy Star features off
+dpms Energy Star features on
dpms [standby [suspend [off]]]
force standby
force suspend
force off
force on
(also implicitly enables DPMS features)
a timeout value of zero disables the mode
For screen-saver control:
s [timeout [cycle]] s default s on
s blank s noblank s off
s expose s noexpose
s activate s reset
Yep. Screensaver and DPMS are handled separately.
...so to disable as default both of them, you can use something like this in /root/.xinitrc:
xset s off -dpms <<<<< simplest way I think
xset s 0 600 s blank -dpms <<<<<< time to blank is zero and is not executed
.....maybe there is other combinations....
So....it is just the matter what is wanted as default. Blanking or no blanking. If no blanking, I would propose that DPMS is also set off ie this command:
xset s off -dpms
Or people could put simple script in /root/Startup which executes xset the way they want.
In fact. PupControl > Desktop > Screensaver creates to the /root/Startup the ss-on or ss-off scripts which has that xset command with appropriate parameters. That is why it is the last definition ( last say ). It overrules the /root/.xset.sh or /root/.xinitrc xset commands because it is executed as last.
And..../usr/bin/pupx does create that /root/.xset.sh script. I have tested it now several times.

Post subject: Re: Desktop icons & upgrading
Thank you so much for all the valuable information listed in one post.
You were right both the 10 & 12 structures' are similar and the save file worked, but i had to remove the icons again as you mentioned.
I made frugal install for 5.X.3.4.12 on a pen drive first to check what it has from applications, then i copied to it the save file. During booting it asked me to upgrade the save file from 5.X.3.4.10 to 5.X.3.4.12.
The pwidgets has 1.7 conky, and it didn't work unless i install instead (conky-1.8.1-transparency-dpup) from your repo + (imlib2-1.4.2) + (libgstreamer01.10-0_0.10.30-1) + (libgstreamer-base0.10-0_0.30-1)
The desktop restore if im not mistaken had reverted the settings to defaults thus bringing the icons back.
In the end, I switched to your distro after i tried many others, and it is the most compatible for my applications
PS: Donnu why as noob but "vmlinuz" & "initrd.gz" was loading faster during boot in 5.X.3.4.10 than 5.X.3.4.12 ... for 5.X.3.4.10, I installed it on FAT32 pendrive, while 5.X.3.4.12 was frugally installed on EXT2, if it makes a difference.

Thanks for taking the trouble to take a look into this.
xset s off -dpms <<<<< simplest way I think
I normally put that in .xset.sh in /root/Startup and it works....or so I thought.
I just found out: my screen still goes blank after 10 minutes. Screensaver is off. xset q reports:
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 600
DPMS is disabled
Although DPMS is disabled the 'Off: 600' is still active. Must be something weird on my system. To set all values on zero I type 'xset dpms 0 0 0'. Then all flags are indeed off. But hold it: DPMS is enabled again. Maybe it doesn't matter now since all flags are zero. Under the motto 'double stitched holds better' I type 'xset -dpms'. Now DPMS is disabled again.
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
DPMS is disabled
The xset help screen is not very helpful. I found detailed xset info here:
And..../usr/bin/pupx does create that /root/.xset.sh script. I have tested it now several times.
Interesting. .xset.sh in not created in root nor anywhere else on my system. Neither are the /tmp files by pupx.

Some more on xset and Screen Saver Control.
SS Control writes script ss-off to /root/Startup. For disabling DPMS it uses 'xset s off -dpms' but this does not turn the last flag 'Off:' to 0. Only 'DPMS 0 0 0' will turn the whole bunch off.
I guess that would be (part of) the solution. The .xset.sh mystery remains...

If you are looking for great examples of objects born into a second life, Deptford Design Market Challenge is just the ticket. As part of the London Design Festival's green schedule of events, The Royal Festival Hall on London's Southbank is housing The Deptford Design Challenge until 25th September. Twenty-six international designers, including Conran and Partners, Stuart Haygarth, Martí Guixé, and Based Upon, were invited to redesign discarded objects from Deptford Thrift Market, turning market bargains from a broken desk fan to a dirty sofa into new and functional designs. Challenging the preconceptions of usefulness and beauty, the designers were asked to use their talents to re-work the item; creating something unique, desirable and functional.
By re-interpreting the discarded, the aim of the Market Challenge is to inspire and encourage designers to think about re-using what is available before creating an entirely new product from scratch. The possibilities for regeneration are endless: compressing or manipulating the object; reengineering it; using it as an image for a website.
The small collection of designs are exhibited amongst a mass of white painted material goods, from the odd mobile phone, a walking boot, a tea set and a camcorder. The work on display holds interesting value to the recycling of discarded material products. Three key re-designed objects I found today included a discarded guitar named "No Strings Attached" from Conran and Partners which intelligently combines iPod technology with a musical classic, Gitta Gschwendtner's shuttlecock lampshade "Shuttlecock Science", and the "Nanny's Chair" by Life is a Suite, made from second hand tea cloths and aprons.

Egypt's game of Calvinball
As a longtime correspondent and professor at George Washington University, Marc Lynch is a highly trained observer of Middle Eastern politics. So when he looked at the chaotic nature of Egypt's current political scene, after the Arab uprisings, he quickly saw a pattern.
The pattern went like this: There was no pattern.
Just when political parties and candidates felt like they were beginning to understand the system, the system changed. Parliamentary elections were held, only to have one third of the elected parliamentarians declared ineligible after the fact. Behind all these changes was the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which midway through the elections gave itself more power and diminished those of any future elected president.
It reminded Mr. Lynch of the cartoon characters Calvin and Hobbes and their favorite game, "Calvinball." Lynch writes in Foreign Policy:
"Calvinball sometimes resembles recognizable games such as football, but is quickly revealed to be something else entirely. The rules change in mid-play, as do the goals ("When I learned you were a spy, I switched goals. This is your goal and mine's hidden."), the identities of the players ("I'm actually a badminton player disguised as a double-agent football player!") and the nature of the competition ("I want you to cross my goal. The points will go to your team, which is really my team!"). The only permanent rule is that the game is never played the same way twice. Is there any better analogy for Egypt's current state of play?"
The funny part about Calvinball, of course, is that it's so chaotic that Calvin sometimes ends up losing. That's a fact that might give the generals in the SCAF some cause for concern, Lynch notes.
Land of the Free
Every age has a central political or social phenomenon that gives citizens a sense of focus. During the roaring '20s, it was the feckless abandon that came after a senseless war. The Great Depression followed up swiftly with austerity and sacrifice, World War II ushered in courage and persistence, and the cold war brought with it the "Red Menace," in which Communist sleeper cells attempted to undermine free societies.
The central narrative of the past decade was determined by the terrorist attack of Sept.11, 2001, and the desire that Americans felt for security at all costs. This was a time when US courts allowed the most significant suspension of judicial and legal rights seen in modern times. Those suspected of terrorism could be locked up indefinitely, with very little evidence.
Some of these suspects, such as University of South Florida's Sami al-Arian, remain either in jail or under threat of prosecution, merely for expressing what Mr. Arian's daughter Laila calls his constitutional right of self-expression as an American of Palestinian descent. Read Laila al-Arian's story in this week's The Nation for a warning of how a hyped-up legal system can go horribly wrong.
Canada's polite spying
Most Western countries ramped up security after the 9/11 attacks, but each in its own way. Canada, ever the counterpoint to its rough-and-tumble southern neighbor, informs citizens in advance that it is listening in on their conversations in public places, and does so politely, as Megan Garber reports in The Atlantic magazine.
"At Ottawa's airport, the Ottawa Citizen reports, signs will be posted referring passersby to a 'privacy notice' – which will, in turn, be available on the CBSA website. You can load up the site and learn exactly how – and why – the government is watching you. The CBSA will also provide a help line 'explaining how the recordings will be used, stored, disclosed, and retained.'"
Quake behavior
If you have started to look at your cellphone as some kind of spy – tracking your movements, archiving your every purchase, and passing that information along to governments, or worse, advertisers – here's something that might repair the relationship a little.
Cellphones might save lives during natural disasters. In a study published in this week's edition of "Science" magazine, Nicholas St. Fleur writes that epidemiologists Linus Bengtsson and Xin Lu from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden tracked the movements and call patterns of 2 million anonymous cellphone users in Haiti, both before and after the devastating January 2010 earthquake. What they discovered was that they could predict where people would go in an emergency, based on where they traveled for holidays.
The team found that after the earthquake, "people seemed to have traveled to where they had their significant social bonds and support," says Bengtsson. Specifically, Haitians went to the same locations where they had spent Christmas and New Year's. For example, departments (Haiti's major administrative divisions) Sud and Ouest received the highest influx of people. By understanding where people go during their holidays, the researchers say that they can accurately guess where people will go during times of disaster."
And that is good news for emergency aid groups.

A good sign: The CTA learned its lesson from past projects and updated much of the signage for the southern Red Line reconstruction project, making it easier for riders to commute on Monday, the first weekday of the five-month initiative.
The CTA replaced maps in its train cars to reflect the nine South Side stations not in service during the track overhaul project, which formally launched Sunday, and the corresponding shuttle bus pickups. Train tracker and trains themselves were properly labeled with their destination.
Signs at Green Line stations also now reflect that they temporarily are Red Line stations.
In addition to the extra visuals, some train operators used their speakers to announce the project while some announcements were made at the stations.
There were some conflicting signs, though. The CTA didn't update the digital maps on the new rail cars with the aisle-facing seats (too expensive) that run on the Green and Red lines. Going Public noticed some bus shelters and stations with old maps.
GP also didn't see mention of the project on the electronic displays on the Belmont Red Line station platform or on the electronic signs on the inside of the new rail cars.
CTA spokesman Brian Steele said the agency will make some tweaks to signs, including adding one to the shuttle bus hub at the Garfield Green Line station, to tell riders the location of the escalator and elevator. He said the agency is calculating how much it spent on signage.
The CTA learned its lessons after some sign failures from this spring's Wells Street Bridge project and last year's decrowding initiative.
Some trains weren't properly labeled with their destinations on the first day of the Wells Street bridge project, which caused Brown Line reroutes for two weeks.
Last winter, it took weeks for the signs at some bus shelters to see updates after the December decrowding initiative, which changed the hours and/or routes of more than a dozen bus lines.
Riders who don't use the Green Line or the South Side Red Line may also have seen some modifications to their commute Monday. The CTA updated timetables of at least a dozen bus routes and every train line except for the Yellow Line.
Riders should also watch for congestion in the Red Line subway from the extra Green Line traffic. The CTA didn't report any overcrowding during the Monday morning rush hour, as it did for a few days during the Wells Street bridge project, but yesterday was only day 2 of reconstruction.
Just 152 more days to go.
Life according to BRT
On May 29, Going Public will host a panel of Chicago transit experts discussing bus rapid transit, express bus service coming to Ashland Avenue. The event will be 5:30-8 p.m., at the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington St. Go to goodchicagobrt.eventbrite.com for more information.
A weekly dispatch from a CTA station of note
This week: Austin Green Line
For those keeping track at this station on the line between Austin and Oak Park, Green Line trains were running on a single track between the Austin and Cicero stops for part of last week. The CTA said it was performing routine maintenance work that realigns the horizontal and vertical positions of track. "With the heavy use, things shift over time," CTA spokeswoman Tammy Chase said. "We use a tamper machine (track maintenance machine) to straighten everything out to keep the track in good working order."

Bombs Go Off At Boston Marathon! (Headquarters On Lockdown After Blast Near Race Finish Line)
" Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers in the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts. Competitors and race organizers were crying as they fled the chaos. Bloody spectators were being carried to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners. "There are a lot of people down," said one man, whose bib No. 17528 identified him as Frank Deruyter of North Carolina. He was not injured, but marathon workers were carrying one woman, who did not appear to be a runner, to the medical area as blood gushed from her leg. A Boston police officer was wheeled from the course with a leg injury that was bleeding." - AP

MBE for ex-Catatonia singer Cerys
Singer and broadcaster Cerys Matthews has landed an MBE for her services to music - and said it was more for the records she had played on air, than the ones she had made herself.
Matthews, formerly the singer of Welsh band Catatonia and now a radio and TV presenter, said it was "incredible" to be recognised for her passion for sharing her love of music.
The 45-year-old said: "I am delighted to receive this honour, and accept it not so much for the music I've made but for the music I've played on my BBC 6 Music show.
"Folk , blues , jazz , traditional music whose authors didn't receive recognition in their lifetimes. I am passionate about sharing music, through writing books, making documentaries and, of course, through the wonder that is radio, to an ever widening audience - and to receive recognition for this is incredible."
Matthews rose to fame in the 1990s with Catatonia whose hits included Road Rage and Mulder And Scully, before going on to accompany Sir Tom Jones on their hit duet Baby It's Cold Outside.
The 45-year-old, who studied to be a psychiatric nurse before her musical success, has also been a participant in ITV series I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!, appearing on the show in 2007.
In recent years she has become known for her work as a broadcaster, landing her weekly 6 Music show in 2008, for which she was named music broadcaster of the year at last year's Radio Academy Awards. She has hosted documentaries for Radio 4 and Radio 2 and appears as an occasional contributor on BBC1's The One Show.
Matthews, who was born in Cardiff but raised mainly in Swansea, has also published a popular book about singalong classics called Hook, Line And Singer and has been a judge for the Dylan Thomas Literary Prize for several years.
The mother of three, who is married to her manager, has also published a pair of books for children.
Bob Shennan, the controller of 6 Music and Radio 2, said: "This is a thoroughly deserved honour for Cerys. She has made a hugely significant contribution to music, both as an accomplished musician and as an exemplary broadcaster on Radio 2, 6 Music and on television."

Seven years after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans has become a national laboratory for government reforms. But the process through which those experiments have been carried out rarely has been transparent or democratic. The results have been divisive, pitting new residents against those who grew up here, rich against poor, and white against Black.
Education, housing, criminal justice, health care, urban planning, even our media; systemic changes have touched every aspect life in New Orleans, often creating a template used in other cities. A few examples:
Guest Post: This Austerity Backlash Across Europe Could Transform Britain
By Owen Jones - May 11th, 2012
Published in
The Independent
When I first read Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine a few years ago, I had no idea how prescient the book was. It was a polemic about "disaster capitalism", arguing that sudden crises are intentionally manipulated to push through extreme free market policies that were otherwise not politically possible. But early 2008 was a completely different era: although Northern Rock had just suffered the first bank run for 150 years, it seemed like a bizarre blip. The US sub-prime crisis was rumbling away, but it was like sheet lightning from a distant storm. "The deficit" was not an everyday term of political debate. It was not at all clear that the world was about to be utterly transformed.
Why Now? What's Next? Naomi Klein and Yotam Marom in Conversation About OWS
By Naomi Klein - January 9th, 2012

The Nation
The following conversation between Naomi and Yotam Marom was recently recorded in New York City. Yotam is a political organizer, educator, and writer based in New York. He has been active in the Occupy Wall Street Movement, and is a member of the
Organization for a Free Society
Naomi Klein:
One of the things that's most mysterious about this moment is "Why now?" People have been fighting austerity measures and calling out abuses by the banks for a couple of years, with basically the same analysis: "We won't pay for your crisis." But it just didn't seem to take off, at least in the US. There were marches and there were political projects and there were protests like Bloombergville, but they were largely ignored. There really was not anything on a mass scale, nothing that really struck a nerve. And now suddenly, this group of people in a park set off something extraordinary. So how do you account for that, having been involved in Occupy Wall Street since the beginning, but also in earlier anti-austerity actions?
Naomi Klein's Inconvenient Climate Conclusions
By Andrew Revkin - December 8th, 2011
Published in
The New York Times
(Dot Earth blog)
Naomi Klein, the author of a string of provocative and popular books including "The Shock Doctrine," recently took on global warming policy and campaigns in
"Capitalism vs. the Climate,"
cover story for The Nation that has been mentioned by readers here more than once in the last few weeks.
The piece begins with Klein's conclusion, reached after she spent time at a
conclave on climate sponsored by the libertarian Heartland Institute
, that passionate corporate and conservative foes of curbs on greenhouse gases are right in asserting that a meaningful response to global warming would be a fatal blow to free markets and capitalism.

Here is video of the discussion.
Capitalism vs. the Climate
By Naomi Klein - November 10th, 2011
Published in
The Nation
There is a question from a gentleman in the fourth row.
He introduces himself as Richard Rothschild. He tells the crowd that he ran for county commissioner in Maryland's Carroll County because he had come to the conclusion that policies to combat global warming were actually "an attack on middle-class American capitalism." His question for the panelists, gathered in a Washington, DC, Marriott Hotel in late June, is this: "To what extent is this entire movement simply a green Trojan horse, whose belly is full with red Marxist socioeconomic doctrine?"
Here at the Heartland Institute's Sixth International Conference on Climate Change, the premier gathering for those dedicated to denying the overwhelming scientific consensus that human activity is warming the planet, this qualifies as a rhetorical question. Like asking a meeting of German central bankers if Greeks are untrustworthy. Still, the panelists aren't going to pass up an opportunity to tell the questioner just how right he is.

, spoke to the protesters at Occupy Wall Street yesterday evening, telling them their movement can follow through on the promises of the global trade protests she participated in a decade ago.
Speaking through cycles of call-and-response because the protesters have been denied a sound permit, Klein urged the protesters not to lapse into structureless disorganization.
"Being horizontal and deeply democratic is wonderful," she told them. "But these principles are compatible with the hard work of building structures and institutions that are sturdy enough to weather the storms ahead. I have great faith that this will happen."

Occupy Wall Street: The Most Important Thing in the World Now
By Naomi Klein - October 6th, 2011
Published in
The Nation
I was honored to be invited to speak at
Occupy Wall Street
on Thursday night. Since amplification is (disgracefully) banned, and everything I said had to be repeated by hundreds of people so others could hear (a.k.a. "the human microphone"), what I actually said at Liberty Plaza had to be very short. With that in mind, here is the longer, uncut version of the speech.
I love you.
And I didn't just say that so that hundreds of you would shout "I love you" back, though that is obviously a bonus feature of the human microphone. Say unto others what you would have them say unto you, only way louder.
Learning From Globalization Protests
By Naomi Klein - October 6th, 2011

Naomi was asked by the
New York Times
to contribute to an edition of "Room for Debate" about
Occupy Wall Street
: "The protesters are getting more attention and expanding outside New York. What are they doing right, and what are they missing?" Here is her response.
I can't help but compare the Occupy Wall Street protests to the movements that sprang up against corporate globalization at the end of 1990s, most visibly at the World Trade Organization summit in Seattle. Like today's protests, those demonstrations were also marked by innovative coalitions among students, trade unions and environmentalists.

What a find. These absolutely fun Playgrounds are apparently being constructed all over Denmark. We love the originality and the fact that they are constructed to the highest European safety standards. Thinking we need to plan a trip to Denmark just to go play on these playgrounds ... and I'm talking not just the little kids!
We are going to give you a visual feast here ... showing some of the playgrounds created by the company Monstrum. But be sure to hop on over to their site to see all the other original playgrounds they created. their focus is on visual design, motor challenges and safety. According to Monstrum ...
"The foremost purpose of the playgrounds is to challenge the motor skills of the child at all levels. The most successful playgrounds have a clearly defined age group or is divided into separate areas to meet the specific age groups needs. Nursery children need comfort, presence of adults and smaller challenges and older children need speed and difficult challenges, contex and elements like tree houses (seperate from the nursery kids).
Younger kids are driven and inspired by watching the skills of the older kids (mentors), and the older kids are driven by the small victories in which they can measure there own advancement with heights, length and speed."
Kudos to Monstrum!
