Look, retainers suck. So we fixed them. We don't spend a few hours a month fulfilling our contractual obligations, we tie our success to yours and live the journey with you. Through sustainable innovation and a radically honest approach, we've got the ideas and know-how to help ensure success through design, market fit and full spectrum product consultancy.
Somewhere in between a little push and doing it all for you, Assessment Tier 1 involves us identifying the most valuable problems we can solve for you and creating a time-specific, actionable project plan that when followed will take you one large step closer to your goals.
Tier 2 rachets up the deliverables. We'll design an entire product flow from end to end, ready to implement in your product. Whether it's optimising your customer acquisition or designing a brand new feature flow, we'll deliver something your customers will love engaging with.
Identifying your goals is vital to ensuring the success of your product or business. Finding what your users want and making improvements where they are struggling can turn around revenue, growth and a whole range of other beautiful things (like success metrics). Assessment Tier 1 does exactly this, and nothing more.
After gathering data on what we're looking for, we can then get to looking at the screens (or flow) we're focusing on. Our professionally trained eyes have overseen countless successful projects and products, and we pass that experience on to you in the form of design feedback, functionality improvements and conversion optimisation recommendations.
We'll gather all of this information into a guide, that when followed will improve your product, simple as. Turnaround time from booking to delivery is usually within 2 weeks. Much quicker than a full consultancy agreement would be.
We'll send over a questionnaire before our first exploration call, so we are armed with the right data coming in and can assess where we should focus our efforts.
We'll review around 5 key screens, or one full user flow, and provide you with a guide to taking your product's flaws and turning them into achievements. This guide will arrive as a 10-15 page PDF document, outlining recommendations, quick wins, and other relevant information to level up your product. If you'd like this feedback mocked up into concepts and custom UI work, we'd recommend Assessment T2.
In T2, you have an excellent opportunity to have our suggestions visualised, so you're able to implement our best-suggested solution fully. Most clients request this anyway after receiving their assessment, so save time and money by picking it up as one package. There's a 100% money back guarantee on both Assessment packages anyway, so you can afford to take a risk!
As we do in T1, we'll run through a core set of screens or one whole user flow and provide actionable feedback, suggestions and improvements that could be made to the experience and design. However, unlike T1 after you get your audit, we'll conduct a one-day design sprint and provide .sketch files and an extended PDF with custom UI and design work, aimed at solving your most prominent product problems.
We understand you're busy, so we're always as efficient as possible with your time. We'll start with a quick call to learn about your business and walk through your app, talk about what problems your users are happening and ideate how we could solve the problems and turn them into delights. Other than that, we can keep things as hands-on as you want, we'll ask questions when needed and update you when big important things are happening.
You just need a push. You know you're on the right track, but something is missing, and you're just not quite sure what. You reach out to your friends, even your investors, who give great advice, but nothing actionable. They haven't solved this problem before. We have though.
The Battle Plan is a 60 minute direct download from our brains to yours. You can use the call however you desire, provided it can be discussed in around an hour. Some good examples of how to effectively use this call include: Soundboarding next steps for your product, branding advice, quick design teardowns and feedback on content or marketing. Our team have solved every issue you may be facing in the product realm, and we mainline that knowledge and experience directly into your veins.
Following successful payment, we'll be in touch to schedule a call in the next seven days. Before that call we'd love it if you could send over: Your ideal outcomes from the call, a link to your product (or whatever you'd like to discuss) and any relevant documents and information. You'll need a solid internet connection and a good microphone, we'll use Zoom.
You'll get a recording of call, an email summary of the actions we discussed, and a free email follow up to see how you're doing a few weeks down the line.
In a world dominated by screens, design and product have become vital components of your business. Overlooking these and how they affect your users is costing you and your team the success deserved. A unified product vision can only be realised if your design, marketing, dev and sales teams are unified around the product. We can get you there.
The £5,500 pricing is per person, per month. They'll get access to our experts and a guide to ensure their goals are achieved at the end of the required time period.
For that we will deliver full training in product execution, covering ideation, product/market fit, design delivery and through to content, and that's just us getting started. We tailor each package on a per client basis to ensure maximum return on investment and how best to have a long lasting impact.
You bring us disciples, and we will deliver a product powerhouse, ready to add value across all areas of your business, a true asset in today's technology market.Knowledge is the key to problem solving and by showing you how we work and sharing that experience with you, you're guaranteed results and a more effective work life.
You're adding new core functionality for your app, and just good is not enough. Your customers are expectant and your investors are watching. You need to go into Orbit. When companies like Bumble, Reach PLC, Booking.com and Google had this problem, they came to us and they were not disappointed. You won't be either.
We will able to craft your thoughts into a tangible list of features that we can wireframe and build into clickable prototypes that we test with your users. We make sure things are just right before ramping up the intensity, reaching development ready in one month or less.
Our sprints happen at lightspeed, achieving in weeks what takes most design studios months. We'll take those prototypes we tested and flesh them out, adding your design style and suggesting refinements, validating along the way to ensure we're always heading in the right direction.
The result is a .sketch file, a Marvel prototype and a Zeplin guide for your developers to use when building this. As things get built out, we'll pop in occasionally for QA, ensuring everything is being translated well into the live product and functionality is at the standard it needs to be.
Once you've cleared checkout you'll receive an introductory questionnaire. We will use the answers to do some in-depth research into your product, customers and market that will form the basis of our first Zoom call.
Want to keep improving things and keep your customers and their opinions at the centre of your company? Pair Orbit with Sustainer to continue the success.
A sustainer is not a retainer, we're active in our approach and believe that investment in sustainability is the key to a projects' success. Our work continues long after a product ships - testing, iteration and improvements are always needed and we're on hand to find them and discover the best ways to more customers, more money and the happiest users around!
Every month we'll work with you to comb through your backlog and create sprint plans. Once they're ready, we'll get to execution. We test with users along the way as needed and keep the customer at the centre of the process. We become your remote product and creative directors, sharing our vast knowledge with you to guide you towards the most successful and delightful solutions everyone will find a joy to use.
If we've already worked together, then we'll already have a pretty good idea of the steps we need to take next and will have discussed them. If this is a first time engagement (how exciting!), we'll jump on a call and have you send over as much information as you can. Already got a plan? Great! We'd be happy to help you refine it and convert it into actionable sprints we can execute.
There's this feature you've got, and it was a great idea, but the execution just wasn't quite there. It would be a waste to throw away all that design and development time. How about we get that feature purring like a V8? Tell us your goals and about your users, and we'll provide the problems they're having that are costing you.
Once we've identified the core problem, we'll find a way to solve it that your users will understand and love. Through careful and curated research, combined with our knowledge and your users' opinions, we can find your optimal route to success.
A tune up isn't a one time deal, you can get one every time you need a feature tweaking, so it's just right for you and your users (or your money back!). This is also a great first project, giving us a chance to learn more about how you work, so we can offer our best suggestions for your next steps.
You've got a new feature or product launch coming up, and you need a landing page, a damn fine one at that. It needs to go beyond conveying information and generate real excitement amongst your users, and maybe your investors too.
But designing and building the first impression your customers will have of your product means taking senior product, design, marketing and development resources off your product, and that's not it chief 🙅. This trade off usually results in a rushed landing page, and rushed becomes your customers first impression on launch. And then you wonder why you're not converting as well as you'd hoped.
We can solve that for you.
We begin with research and planning to unify your product, design and marketing goals, and then get right into wireframing, proposing copy, general shape and overall design philosophy.
Once approved, we'll move onto building high fidelity mockups in Sketch. One round of revisions will be plenty to get everything perfect before providing everything wrapped in a responsive Webflow shaped bow, ready to launch!
We're happy to set everything up on your domain for you, and after the project, you'll get full access to the Webflow account, the original .sketch files and our design guidelines, all zipped up in a, well, ZIP file. Good times. We also include a free check-in a couple months after you go live, to see how we can help keep things awesome.
The first steps you need to take are adding this here product to your cart, paying your project fee and letting us know your email. We'll be in touch within 24 hours Monday - Friday and gather everything we need from you.
We'll need information, assets and anything else you think is essential, but after that we're going to be doing the leg work here. Turnaround time for a finished page, including revisions and launch is around 4 weeks.

The audacity!
Rwandans are audacious. If they can think it, they believe they can do it. They set goals which outsiders deem unachievable. Failure is not an acceptable option for Rwandans, but it is far more noble than inaction.
Rwandans dream big dreams and then they mobilize the entire country. They are focused. They are driven. For example, they are presently increasing the number of public classrooms in the country by 50% in less than six months, and to achieve this they are deploying the army, genocide convicts doing community service, and each of the local communities.
And Rwandans have recently determined that their brightest future will be as an Anglophone country, something that requires the immediate deployment of 1,200 ESL teachers, of which they may have 20....no, make that 21,.....Anna Reed.
Where will Rwanda find such teachers? They do not know, but that does not cause them to baulk. Do we in the West who love Rwanda have any ideas that are a worthy match to the hope and audacity of Rwanda? Do we want to come alongside them with the necessary ESL teachers and programs as they labor to become an Anglophone country, and might we soon be celebrating their success and audacity along with them?

Why does copper sulphate induce a kind of rust on a nail?
Q. Hello.
I'm doing a project and I was wondering if anybody could tell me what the chemical for copper sulphate is, and why it (induces) rust so quickly, if any one knows the answers to these questions, please feel free to tell me here! :) Thank you.
Oh yes, this is semi-urgent so if you have an answer please tell me now. ;)Courtney S [last name deleted for privacy by Editor]
- Trenton Ontario, Canada
A. Hi, Courtney. Actually, the chemical for copper sulfate [linked by editor to product info at Amazon] is called copper sulphate; it is usually found as blue copper sulphate pentahydrate crystals (sometimes available in pool supply stores), and the chemical formula for that is CuSO4·5H2O. Those crystals can be dissolved in water or diluted sulphuric acid and then it will make a blue solution of copper sulphate.
To my knowledge it does not cause a nail to rust, but copper metal does plate out onto the nail, and copper is sort of an orange-ish color that could perhaps be mistaken for rust. If you tell us what grade you are in we can try a grade-appropriate answer (by which I mean that if you are a high school senior, we do no favor to your education by talking babytalk; but there may be little point in esoteric chemistry terminology if you are in grade school, years away from studying chemistry nomenclature). Good luck!

Copper sulphate rusts really quickly because when oxygen is interfered sulfate it causes a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction causes anything to rust in minutes or even hours. Copper's sulphate chemical properties are that it reacts to oxygen and once the oxygen reacts it eats away the copper sulphate metal.
Sincerely,Yevgeny Shnaper
- Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Congratulations to Mr Mooney on his patience when answering these questions - I'd just like to add a less misleading answer to this question than that provided by Mr Shnaper.
A. The "rust" on the nail is probably a powdery coating of metallic copper (which looks a rusty reddish brown), the copper ions come out of solution, oxidising the metallic iron atoms to make them into iron ions which dissolve. The "oxidising" here means a transfer of electrons (the copper ions are "reduced" at the same time). Copper II sulphate doesn't react too easily with oxygen as stated, it's already so "oxidised" that it can in fact "oxidise" the iron metal.
I use this resource occasionally to clear up queries on metal finishing chemistry and generally trust what I read here, so I guess most people would, and hate to think of them being so misled.

What do electrons have to do with it?2006
Q. I'm a student in eighth grade working on a school science project in immersion copper plating and need to find out what is happening when the copper moves to the nail. My teacher said I need to describe it through a chemical equation. I am completely at a loss of how to find this out. Could you help me?Peter [last name deleted for privacy by Editor]
student eighth grade - Hillsborough, California
A. Hi Peter. The copper is dissolved in the watery solution as copper ions, which are blue, and they plate out onto the nail as copper metal, which is sort of orange. I'm surprised that an 8th-grader has the chemistry vocabulary to be able to understand such a reaction as a chemical formula, but it would be approximately like this:
Fe0 + Cu++SO4-- => Cu0 + Fe++SO4- -
Copper (Cu) is more electrochemically noble than iron (Fe) so it will displace iron from the surface, i.e., cause iron metal to dissolve into the solution so it (copper) can come out as a metal. Another way to look at this is that when metals have enough electrons they appear as the familiar metallic form, but when they don't have enough electrons they appear as soluble positively charged ions dissolved in solution. When iron and copper fight over the necessary electrons to balance their positive charges, and be reduced to metal rather than being ions, copper always wins. Copper exerts this more powerful pull on electrons due to nuclear physics principles that I can't quite explain because it is beyond my grade level. Good luck!

Q. I have to write a lab report on this experiment...how the copper in the copper sulfate solution transfers to the iron ... why does it do this? (anything to do with electrons ... I'm in high school so a more in depth answer is fine)Campbell F [last name deleted for privacy by Editor]
student - New York, New York
February 28, 2009
A. Hi, Campbell. The paper clip is zinc plated steel. Just as salt or sugar will dissolve into solution up to an equilibrium point, metals will dissolve as well. So ionized copper will be in solution from the copper sulphate, and ionized zinc will go into solution from the coating on the paper clip.
Copper is more noble than zinc, meaning that when the two metals are available in this way, the copper has a stronger affinity for becoming/staying in metallic form (i.e., to grab or hold onto its electrons so it is not oxidized). So zinc will dissolve into the solution and copper will deposit out as metal on the paper clip until the paper clip is completely covered with copper. Once it is covered with copper metal and no more zinc is exposed, the reaction is finished. To learn more, read up on the "galvanic series" and the "seawater series". Best of luck.

Q. Hi, I'm in 8th grade and I am doing a lab report but need to finish my analysis and can't figure out where the copper on the nails surface comes from?
This is urgent please respond quickly. Thank you
student - Toronto, Ontario
A. Assuming you dipped your nail into copper sulphate, the copper came from the copper sulphate, Julia. The copper is dissolved as copper ions in the blue copper sulphate, but deposits out as orange copper metal. Although copper metal is orange, copper ions are blue.

Q. I am doing a chemistry lab, and for each reaction I need to provide a balanced equation.
The reactions are:
1. bare copper wire on a hottest part of a flame held for a few minutes.
2. a nail on a test tube of the solution copper(II) sulfate
3. solid copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate over heat
4. same as number three, but then adding few drops of water
5. calcium chloride solution and sodium carbonate solution
6. mossy zinc on a test tube with hydrochloric acid solution
A. Hi, Monica. Your teacher sent me a note:
"Dear Mr. Mooney: Please just tell Monica to do her own homework!!"
Here's what I wrote back:
"I understand what you are trying to tell us, professor, and if Monica simply pastes her homework questions here and leaves it at that, we'll do as you ask and not post any answers. But if she attempts the work, we'll try to help her over any points of confusion."

Q. Hi I'm in Chemistry and one of the assignments is to figure out what you would add to a brand new shiny copper Aladdin genie lamp to make it appear as if it were a thousand years old. Obviously I would rust it, but I can't think of a creative way of rusting it, that would actually work. If I added HCl all over it would it work? What would make this lamp rust? Please help, thank you.Jackie O [last name deleted for privacy by Editor]
student - Salem, Massachusetts
December 2008
A. Hi, Jackie. Only the corrosion products of iron may properly be called rust. So you can't actually make a copper lamp "rust" because rust is iron oxide, and you can't make iron oxide from copper; it's not actually correct to call the corrosion products of copper 'rust'.
Something to think about is what would a thousand year old copper lamp actually look like? Would it be brown like an old penny or green like the statue of liberty? I'd go with green. I'm guessing that your teacher will expect you to try to answer that question and explain your choice.
About adding HCl, hydrochloric acid (only appropriate for high school students supervised by the science teacher). Actually HCl doesn't dissolve copper, it dissolves copper oxides. So the result is that it would make the lamp brighter if it had begun to tarnish. However, if you spritz the copper with HCl (preferably, use vinegar and salt because it's much safer) and let it dry, the copper / copper oxide that it had dissolved into the solution can't remain in solution because there will be no solution left after it evaporates. So the formerly dissolved copper would become sort of a corroded coating on the lamp. Think it all through and earn an "A". Good luck.

Q. Hello!
I am in the tenth grade, and my chemistry class recently did a nail lab. I'm having trouble finishing my summary, and I was wondering if you could help me. We put a nail, a small spoonful of salt, some copper sulfate crystals, and water in a plastic cup. We observed this mixture for three days. I see a lot of shiny, copper-colored clumps in the cup (possibly rust), but I'm not sure what it is. My teacher wants to know what I think is happening to the nail. What I'm wondering is what really is happening? Can you help me? Thank you!
Student - Nashville,Tennessee
August 30, 2010
A. Hi, Rachel.
You didn't describe anything appearing to be happening to the nail, and are asking us to guess what is happening without even the benefit of what it looks like. But what is probably happening at the core of it all is Cu++ + Fe0 => Cu0 + Fe++, with the Cu being the shiny copper color lumps you see. Good luck.

Q. I also have this question, I'm really bad at chem and don't understand this experiment, what happens to the salt/ sodium chloride in your equation? CU++ + FE0? I understand that rust is forming but I don't get how. Thank you.Sana R [last name deleted for privacy by Editor]

A. Hi, Sana.
You say that you're "really bad at chem", so please take this as a kindly suggestion that may help, rather than as stodgy nitpicking, but proper capitalization is essential to chemistry; you can't get passable until you pay attention to capitalization. You're asking what happens when a carbon-uranium compound reacts with a fluorine-europium compound :-)
You surely meant Cu (copper) and Fe (iron) . . .
No, rust is not forming, Sana. Copper is plating out onto the iron. Dissolved copper ions (Cu++) react with iron metal (Fe0) to form copper metal (Cu0) and dissolved iron ions (Fe++). The salt / sodium chloride is an agent that helps the conductivity and corrosion but isn't really participating in the reaction very much, but to some degree there is probably a little bit of
2Na+Cl- + Fe++SO4- - <=> Na+2+SO4- - + Fe++Cl2 going on there :-)

Q. I have to do a similar experiment to the people above. In class we slid blue copper sulfate crystal into the bottom of a test tube, added piece of paper and then some water. We then added some sodium chloride, and another piece of paper and more water. Then we took a nail, removed the coating by using steel wool and added the nail. We then again added more water until it covered the nail. We then observed the thing and I'm not sure what really happened. The copper sulfate turned dark purple. The nail had reddish brown substance on it, and I'm guessing that is rust? If it is rust, was that reaction from the salt or copper sulfate?Allan D [last name deleted for privacy by Editor]
- Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA
A. Hi, Allan.
Actually most of the question was answered a few times, so it's hard to know how to answer your question. I'm not sure whether you are younger and unable to understand the answers, or if you didn't read them yet.
I don't know what you are referring to with the "paper". Maybe you were checking the pH with pH paper?
The copper in copper sulphate is not in copper colored metallic form, but in an ionic form that colors the solution a deep blue. When you put an iron object into that solution, some of the iron from the surface dissolves into the solution, driving out some of the copper from the solution, which is reduced to copper metal on the surface of the iron. That turns the nail copper colored. I'm not exactly sure what is happening to the color of the solution, but some of the blue colored copper is leaving it, and some blackish iron sulphate or iron chloride is going into it.

Q. Hi. I'm also doing an experiment of breaking up compounds.
So I had to do a lab and I was asked to write the answer for these questions if you can please help to figure it out!
*How is the method of getting Cu out of a CuSo4 solution different from separating the components of a mixture?
*State whether the copper is combined or uncombined (I don't know what to do in this part)
*(a) in the deposit on the nail
*(b) in copper sulfate solution
- New York
A. Hi Perla.
When you encounter questions like these, the first thing to ask yourself is: "Have I not yet figured out the answer, or do I not even understand the question?" You used the phrases "breaking up compounds" and "separating the components of a mixture" -- and that should give you some ideas; but you can also google "compounds vs. mixtures". As you study compounds vs. mixtures, the meaning of the word "combined" in this context will hopefully become apparent.
If your teacher actually wrote CuSo4, rather than CuSO4, call him or her out for it :-)
... proper capitalization is crucial in chemistry. Good luck.

- bandar seri begawan, Brunei
April 1, 2013
A. Hi Kay. The answer is on this page already. But if you wish to view it from a different perspective, you have two different metals with two different oxidation potentials, connected with both an electrical path and an ionic path, so --
The more noble metal (copper) will steal electrons from the less noble metal (iron) that it is connected to, oxidizing them to positively charged ions which will dissolve into solution. Good luck.

Q. I am doing an experiment with CuSO4 crystals, then filter paper on top, NaCl, then another layer of filter paper, and iron nail and H20. My question is what does the NaCl do/help in the experiment and what are gas bubbles formed from.
Thank you.
- Los Angeles, USA
June 2015
Sorry Emily, it's too vague for me. I don't know what gas bubbles you are speaking of, nor why your procedure puts NaCl between the CuSO4 and the iron nail, or what you procedure really looks like. As a student it's important for you to distinguish between questions to which you don't know the answer vs. questions where you don't even understand the question. In the former case you are right to seek the answer, but in the latter case you must get clarity from your teacher ... and I'm not quite sure which is the case here. Good luck.

Striving to live "Aloha"
June 7, 2015
Q. What confuses me is why the reaction is a displacement reaction and not double displacement reaction like that of Sodium Sulphate and Barium Chloride? Like copper is being displaced from its sulphate, so is Fe from the nail. Why doesn't the iron erode from the nail up to the point where all Cu^2+ ions have been replaced by iron and Cu2 forms a sediment/precipitate?Srishti G [last name deleted for privacy by Editor]
- Delhi, India
June 2015
A. Hi Srishti. A double displacement reaction is of the form
Your reaction of
CuSO4 + Fe => Cu + FeSO4 is of the form
AB + C => A + CB and there is only one displacement.
One reason the reaction doesn't continue until all Cu^2 ions have been replaced is that the iron becomes completely covered with copper in metallic form and there is no more iron exposed, so CuSO4 can't reach the iron anymore. A second issue to consider is that ferrous sulphate is rather soluble in water, so it doesn't tend to precipitate in this situation. Good luck.

A. Hi Marvin. Please google "galvanic series chart" and "seawater series chart" and you will find that pure nickel is even more noble than copper, so it looks like it should deposit on the iron nail even more readily ... but I'm quite sure that you'll discover that in fact it doesn't "immersion deposit" on iron anyway. One thing that makes science fun is that it's not dead easy and completely predictable by the simplest of rules; rather, it's always complicated enough to challenge us.
So please try it and tell us what happens ... then we can attempt to figure out why. Good luck

A. Marvin,
I believe what you are asking for is the "electroless nickel" plating process that was first developed sometime around the 1950s.
You may be reading that chart wrong. My lists of standard reduction potentials for half cell reactions shows the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(0) to have a positive value (trending towards a spontaneous reaction) while the reduction of Ni(II) to Ni(0) has a negative value (trending towards a non-spontaneous reaction). However, the reduction of Fe(II) to Fe(0) has an even more negative value, which means the oxidation (reverse reaction, positive value) ought to be strong enough (but only just barely) to still drive the nickel reduction forward under ideal conditions. Clearly most plating tanks are not ideal conditions, which is why the EN process relies on the presence of an additional reducing agent.

Thanks Ray, I may have misread, or may be misunderstanding something -- everyone always needs more schooling, and I appreciate when people make me realize I don't understand something I thought I did :-)
Although your 'trending towards' is correct, it's not quite the case that positive values mean spontaneous reduction to metal and negative value indicate spontaneous oxidation to ions. The zero point or reference point for half cell reaction 'voltages' is hydrogen and standard conditions; not ionization-reduction go/no-go.
Autocatalytic reactions (electroless nickel) are a quite different thing from immersion/displacement reactions (copper sulphate on steel) though. Iron doesn't dissolve into solution in an electroless nickel tank and the reaction doesn't stop when the iron is completely covered: the reaction is only Ni++ => Ni0; there is no corresponding Fe0 => Fe++ involved. The electroless nickel reduction reaction is 'spring loaded' by hypophosphite primed to reduce nickel ions to nickel metal.

Q. Hello! I'm currently in 10th grade and we have a lab experiment about placing steel wool into 10% solution of CuSO4. We placed it inside a sealed test tube and heated it for over 2 minutes. The steel wool became duller in terms of shine after heating it up. I searched up in a couple of websites that it had a displacement reaction (single if I'm correct) but I was hoping for a more in depth explanation as to why it became duller and what was happening and what the elements were "doing" to each other. I'd really appreciate a quick response, thank you!Pristine A [last name deleted for privacy by Editor]

A. Hi Pristine. Yes, it's a single displacement reaction, iron displacing copper:
Fe + CuSO4 => Cu + FeSO4
Assuming the intended reaction actually occurred, the 'dullness' is due to the fact that you formerly saw iron on the surface of the steel wool, but after this reaction you are now seeing copper, because the surface of the steel wool is now covered with copper.

So much has happened since the November economic statement, and so much has changed.
Parliament resumes Monday with the Speech from the Throne, and then on Tuesday all eyes are on the budget.
While other nations have pursued a policy of "bailout plan first," Canada is taking a legislative approach to economic stimulus.
Analysts are watching for big spending plans, big deficits and anticipate a relatively gloomy outlook.
Ottawa is looking for big impact, turning its eye to pulling through the economic slowdown this year and seeing some recovery in 2010.
Heather Scoffield has been The Globe and Mail's economics reporter for the past 3½ years, first in Toronto and now based in Ottawa.
She has covered monetary policy for The Globe for the past eight years. She has also covered fiscal policy, industrial policy and trade policy for The Globe, and has written about every federal budget since 1997.
She took questions Monday to talk about the country, the economy and the budget.
Editor's Note: globeandmail.com editors will read and allow or reject each question/comment. Comments/questions may be edited for length or clarity. HTML is not allowed. We will not publish questions/comments that include personal attacks on participants in these discussions, that make false or unsubstantiated allegations, that purport to quote people or reports where the purported quote or fact cannot be easily verified, or questions/comments that include vulgar language or libellous statements. Preference will be given to readers who submit questions/comments using their full name and home town, rather than a pseudonym.
Cathryn Motherwell, deputy editor, Report on Business: Welcome to this pre-budget Monday. As part of our continuing offering of discussions on key issues, we introduce Heather Scoffield, the Globe's economics reporter. Based in Ottawa, she brings a unique perspective to the coverage of what will be a most interesting and all-encompassing document on Tuesday. We have many reader questions, so we'll dive right in.
News from Ottawa writes:
In every jurisdiction where it has been tried, most recently in Japan, massive government spending to blast the economy out of an economic sinkhole has not worked according to plan. Rather, it has impoverished future generations left to deal with the debt. Our economic problems are due to US greed and US malaise. Rather than ballooning our national debt unnecessarily, why not let the US solve their issues, one way or another, which will automatically lift us out of the mess that has spilled over the border from them?
Heather Scoffield:
The free-rider approach to economic recovery probably isn't the best way to maintain good relations with the rest of the world. Besides, I'm not sure the Canadian public would be willing to wait that long for recovery. The massive stimulus packages being offered elsewhere in the world will no doubt benefit Canada eventually. But Canada has also agreed, through its participation in the G8, the G20 and the IMF, to pull some of its own weight too. Even so, a full recovery in the United States is years away, and would only trickle through to Canada through exports and stability in financial markets. We need that, but we also need some help with domestic demand, which is contracting. That's what Canada's own stimulus is for.
Bob Robert from Canada asks:
The government should offer an early retirement incentive. With all the boomers nearing retirement this would help youth and allow companies to reduce their payrolls.
Heather Scoffield:
You touch on some good points: youth are likely to feel the brunt of the effect of the recession. And surveys suggest many older workers are cancelling their early retirement plans because their savings have been hammered in the market, and because their plans for post-retirement work look shaky. Plus, economists have recommended for years that Ottawa reform the Canada Pension Plan to give older workers more flexibility to collect benefits and ease their way out of the workforce. But I think there's also incentive for individual companies to design their layoff packages to keep their younger employees and encourage the older ones to leave. Often, older workers can use severance packages to bridge to retirement.
Alan Pater from Vancouver asks:
Canadian households have taken on record levels of debt during the last decades. What could be included in the budget to ensure that household debt is reduced to more reasonable levels while increasing employment?
Heather Scoffield:
I doubt the government will have anything to specifically lower household debt, beyond using fiscal stimulus to boost the economy, create jobs, and generally trying to prevent conditions from deteriorating so badly that household debt would become unmanageable for many families. The Bank of Canada flagged household debt as being in a risky position if the recession takes a major turn for the worse. Household debt burdens are widely considered manageable for now, however, since some interest rates are quite low and credit is still widely available. That could change if unemployment increases rapidly. So Ottawa would be best targeting unemployment rather than specifically looking at household debt.
Patricia Seeley from Toronto asks:
The Conservatives are on record as opposing big government spending and deficits, but are proposing just that in the upcoming budget -- in fact, they've already 'bought' support in a lot of sectors by divulging many of their budget 'secrets' ahead of schedule. I suspect that this radical turn-around is a cynical and desperate move to hold on to power. Do Canadians really expect them to administer this stimulus program in an intelligent and helpful way, when it goes so thoroughly against their political grain?
Heather Scoffield:
The argument you present is a good summary of the NDP position. Leader Jack Layton argues that regardless of what ideas the budget presents, he does not trust Prime Minister Stephen Harper to actually implement the ideas. But the Conservative government will live or die depending on how they manage the economy in the coming year. There's no doubt that running a deficit and purposely enlarging it with a stimulus package goes against their political grain, as you say. But I think they learned a thing or two in November, when they let their political grain run amok and almost lost their hold on power.
Alan Stewart from St. Catharines Ont. writes:
Heather, would it be wise for the government to start with Obama's stimulus bill shrunk to Canadian size, or at least include a specific idea or to and acknowledge it as taken from Obama, or would that be too transparent an attempt to fend off negative comparisons between Harper and Obama?
Heather Scoffield:
Canada should definitely be watching the U.S. stimulus packages closely. They have been experimenting with stimulus for over a year now, have mounds of research on what works, what doesn't, and what type of government package can best target certain problems. But I don't think Ottawa should be striving to copy the structure of Obama's package. Canada has its own unique economy which requires its own unique stimulus. Plus, the size of the package in the United States will be, and needs to be, much bigger than here (measured, of course, in proportion to the size of each country's economy). It looks like Ottawa's package will amount to 1.5 per cent of gross domestic product, while the U.S. package will be much bigger. But their problems are also much bigger.
Auroran Bear from Montreal asks:
Why isn't Canada taking advantage of the economic downturn to diversify out of the auto industry? The U.S. has the critical mass advantage here so why aren't we looking at moving into other industries where we have a comparative advantage?
Why not sponsor a home grown auto industry based on alternative energies that would produce cars that are actually in demand globally?
Heather Scoffield:Ontario's economy has prospered most years partly because of its auto production, and it has actually taken me by surprise that the Ontario economy didn't stumble earlier, as the U.S. economy sank and cut back its demand for cars. So that speaks to the already-diversified base of the province's industries. But of course, governments should be thinking ahead, and design their stimulus in a way that will take into account the pressing need for alternative energy. Governments in Canada and the United States have made their emergency lending programs for the auto companies contingent on them having a reasonable business plan for the future, so there are signs they want to see evidence that the Detroit Three will produce cars that will be in demand for some time.
Ryan Dykstra asks:
I understand that a paper is to report what others say. Why not question that what is being said at times? This question stems from the comments that the various economist shave spouted off the last number of weeks, from there is no recession, Canada is in good shape to Canada is in recession. Inflation is bad to inflation is needed to get us out of debt.
The public is getting confused with all the retoric and would refreshing to see an article that spells out what the ramification are ifyou do this and when you do that.
I understand full well most of it will be based on assumptions but at least you are introduced to the issue from both sides.
Thank you, Ryan
Heather Scoffield:Economists love to joke about how they never agree, but the Globe does try to present a coherent story about the economy that allows readers to understand what is happening, in addition to exposing various interpretations of developments. It seems to me that Canada is in a recession, but compared to other countries, we have some underlying strengths that will help us face the bad times with less pain than elsewhere. As for inflation, it was a huge problem in the summer, as food and fuel prices rose, so many policy makers believed it was, as you say, "bad." Now, deflation is a risk, so that's also not good news. And in the United States, where the Federal Reserve's key rate is basically zero, many experts believe that the best way for policy makers to get people and businesses back buying, lending and borrowing again is to print money. That will pose an inflation problem later, but it's thought easier to solve an inflation problem than a deflation problem.
So, yes, it's all changing so quickly that it can be bewildering. But presenting many different points of view is a sign of a healthy debate at a crucial time.
Peter H from Ottawa asks:
With the NDP and Bloc saying they will almost certainly vote against the budget, the pressure is going to be on the Liberals. At this point, they have no money to go to an election and the coalition is not very popular. Do you think the Liberals are going to be looking for a way to vote for the budget even if it includes/excludes some stimulus measures Ignatieff has opposed such as tax cuts?
Heather Scoffield:The benefit of introducing a huge stimulus package is that the Conservatives can put something for everyone in there, and make it very difficult for the Liberals to say No. Plus, I don't think the electorate will have much patience with political brinksmanship, now that the economy is in a recession and meaningful policy action in Ottawa has been delayed for months, first by political posturing, then by an election campaign, then by a poorly designed and spiteful economic update, and finally by prorogation. So I can see the Liberals supporting the budget, warts and all, but keeping the Conservatives on a short leash as they move to implement the measures.
DJ from Canada asks:
What do you think of Peter Schiff's contention that the U.S. economy is a house of cards that has already started to collapse ? He was the contrarian when everyone else was cheerleading for Wall Street.
Heather Scoffield answers:
Peter Schiff's latest concern is that the U.S. government is issuing too many Treasuries, creating a bubble. I believe he argues that the bubble could burst because the rest of the world can only carry so much U.S. debt without wanting more of a return.
Indeed, the question of whether Treasuries are in a bubble is hotly debated far and wide these days. And given the amount of bubble-bursting these days (housing, commodities), it's not wise to ignore these questions. Still, U.S. consumption is hugely important to the entire world economy. It makes up about 15 per cent of global demand. Plus, U.S. Treasuries are widely considered as safe as safe can be. So there are good arguments on both sides of this bubble debate. I do wonder, however, how wise it was of the new U.S. administration to deliberately poke China in the eye and consider labeling China a currency manipulator, when China's holdings of Treasuries are so important right now.
Cathryn Motherwell:
Heather, thanks for taking the time today to answer reader questions. Do you have any last observations as we head into budget day on Tuesday?
Heather Scoffield answers:
Thanks for your thoughtful questions. Tuesday's budget will likely prove to be a seminal one. More important will be the government's implementation of its measures. Will it be able to push its money out into the economy quickly enough and in a way that is targeted at the recovery, or will it drag its feet, or succumb to the various policy agendas fighting for supremacy these days. Judging from the questions here today, well informed Canadians are watching closely!

Because we are dedicated to helping coaches and practitioners reach "financial sustainability" as well as their clients maintaining "sustainability of change", nothing can be more important than putting together an offering for clients that is 3-dimensional and saying no to a session-by-session weekly commitment model.
What that means is designing a package where the offering is coherent, cogent, and comprehensive. Where the client is moving through stages or phases that logically fit together in a holarchical way--each stage building on the previous stage or phase.
But recently, nascent practitioners have been asking me essentially this questions: "what if I am not yet clear about my offering? How can I figure out what to offer them when I am so unclear yet about my deepest gifts?" I want to answer this very important question because I have noticed that requiring the apprentices to come up with a full offering can be overwhelming and does not assist them in professional evolution, but has them contract and regress.
So, backing up to more fundamental ways to build your practice when you are new:
- Go ahead and work session by session at first. Schedule that single session
- Let them know at the beginning of the session, that once they experience you, at the end of the session, you will offer them an opportunity to sign up for more--then drop the subject and focus on their needs and outcomes
- This has them know what to expect and takes away any objection to you offering it--and gives the client a smoother more integrated experience
- At the end of the session ask them what they liked about it
- Ask them if they want more of that
- Provided you were effective, they will say yes
- Offer them a package of 4 or 6 session with a discount if they buy them all now. For instance--buy 6 get 1 free or some such offer.
All too often I have seen practitioners say some version of "if they liked the work..." or worse, "if it is meant to be then they will ask for more". Not necessarily. Sometimes they just need you to ask. Sometimes they get distracted. And even if true, I have found it is all too often a gussied-up way to avoid what is realling going on--fear and anxiety about selling--while pretending to have a "accept whatever happens" orientation to life.
Rarely, do I sense it is an authentic developmental stage they have reached.
Most importantly, if you truly want to be successful, you need to integrate the fact that no matter how good you are or effective at your craft, you are the locus of responsibility to make things happen.
That, and if you really care about your clients having permanent sustainable change you will offer them a package. Would you go to the gym once and expect to be able to compete in weight lifting? Would you go once and think you have reached a new level of fitness?
So it is with the muscles of your [and your clients'] internal experience. Help them get the exercise they need so they can attain a new level of mental and emotional fitness--a new baseline of success and fulfillment in their life, and you get financial sustainability in the process. Together, we all create a better world.
Now that is a true win-win-win.

Condemning Amit Shah for dubbing Mahatma Gandhi a 'chatur baniya', the Maharashtra unit Congress president Ashok Chavan today equated the BJP chief to the Pakistani leaders who used to criticise the Father of Nation.
Demanding an unconditional apology from Shah, Chavan said he has insulted all freedom fighters who have sacrificed themselves for the cause of the country.
Addressing a gathering in Raipur yesterday, Shah said Gandhi was a "chatur baniya", a reference to his mercantile caste, who had rightly advised dissolution of the Congress after Independence. He had also termed the Congress a sort of "special purpose vehicle" to secure freedom and as the party lacking any ideology or principles.
"Amit Shah has spoken the language of Pakistani leaders who used to constantly criticise Mahatma Gandhi. By using such language for the Mahatma, he has insulted all freedom fighters who have given their lives for the cause of freedom," Chavan told reporters here.
Seeking an unconditional apology, the Congress leader said Shah has insulted entire country by his remarks.
"Pakistani leaders used to criticise Mahatma Gandhi the way Shah has done. Today, the BJP is speaking Pakistan's language. By speaking about the caste of Mahatma, the BJP has laid bare its true face of caste politics," he said.
Accusing the BJP of spreading hatred among people, the former chief minister said the BJP has failed to understand the idea of vibrant India.

Released in the summer of 1985, Weird Science took movie goers on a rollercoaster ride of a film with two bumbling nerds who create a woman on their computer who is brought to life by a well-placed bolt of lightning. You might be interested to know that the film was based on a one-off comic titled "Made of the Future" which appeared in a 1950's EC Comics magazine called, you guessed it, Weird Science.
Gary, played by Anthony Michael Hall who was well known at the time for playing the 'awkward teenage boy' character, absolutely steals the show with his tenacity, while his shy friend Wyatt, played by Ilan Mitchell-Smith, lays a solid foundation to the pair's act. Another notable appearance is a young Robert Downy Jr. playing one of the older bullies, who matches Anthony Michael Hall's charisma in every scene they share. And of course, the great Bill Paxton does a fantastic job playing the asshole big brother, Chett. From what I understand, it actually wasn't all that well received upon release. I have a feeling that it might have fallen to the wayside thanks to the generation-defining The Breakfast Club which was released the same year.
Oh and the theme song! The theme to Weird Science would have to be one of the most electric and catchy movie songs from the 80's. It was written and performed by new-wave masters Oingo Boingo, who actually never liked playing the song live as they felt that song was rushed to meet the release of the movie and was, according to them, unfinished. I would really love to hear the finished version of the song.
The reason that Weird Science would make such an awesome remake is because of the advances in technology since the mid 80's. A computer program come to life would have a much, much larger pen to play in with smart phones, video games consoles, online RPG's and the internet in general. There is a scene in the original where the two boys hack some kind of government website to download the data they need, but the actual imagery used to show the hacking is laughable, making the hacking process look like a video game rather than the white-text-on-black-command-screen affair that it typically is.
Remake Status
Well, according to Wikipedia; "As of 2013, Universal Studios is planning to make a Weird Science remake with original Weird Science producer Joel Silver returning to produce the film and with screenwriter Michael Bacall writing the film. This film will attempt to distinguish itself from the original Weird Science film by being redone as an edgier comedy in line with 21 Jump Street and The Hangover, which were R-rated; the studio says the rating for this Weird Science remake is not certain at this stage of the movie's development."
So, better than nothing, I guess. To be honest, I don't know how much I like turning it into an "edgier comedy", as one of the underlying themes of the film is innocence, with the two boys creating a woman and then not knowing what the hell to do with her.
Strictly speaking, the movie has already been remade. A TV series of the same name was released ten years after the release of the film, and to be honest it wasn't that bad. The show managed to run for five years before being cancelled half way through its fifth season, leaving the final episode unaired. Part of the success of the TV series was altering Lisa's powers to have a time limit, thus having all magical madness she would provide fade away by the end of the episode.
I would go and see a remake of this film. Partly because I love the original, and partly because the "two nerdy guys and a smoking hot electric genie woman" formula is so fantastic that it would almost impossible to screw up.

After providing a description of the incident and all the details leading to it, the doctor took a look in both ears followed by a quick examination of my nose and throat. Once he was done with those, he decided to do a little more looking. He got out a bottle of what he called deadener and sprayed it in my nose. He said it would taste bitter, and it did. My nose and throat went numb in a matter of minutes.
He then pulled out a device with a tube on it and went on to explain how he was going to insert it down both sides of my nose and deep into the back of my throat to see if there are any problems. He proceeded with very little warning, had me breathing, making noises and panting before pulling it out and announcing that everything looks great.
While I still have a lot of congestion, things seem to be getting better. Now all I need to worry about is the next doctor appointment to see what we will be doing about the 4 mm aneurysm they discovered during the CAT scan. So much fun, I can hardly wait until next Monday.

Phantoms player-coach Slava Koulikov admits the club's English Premier League play-offs quarter-final showdown this weekend is too close to call.
The city outfit take on Swindon Wildcats for a place in the finals at Coventry over the Easter weekend – and two teams who ended a 48-game season on the same points tally are expected to again prove very evenly-matched.
Phantoms' reward for pipping the Wildcats to fourth spot was the right to select when to stage their home game. They opted to travel to Wiltshire for the first leg on Saturday (6pm) before hosting the Wildcats in the return at Planet Ice on Sunday (5.30pm).
Koulikov said: "Finishing in fourth is a great achievement for a club of our size and budget. I'm very happy for everyone involved in our organisation and it is something we are all very proud about.
"The guys have done great to make so much progress after being ninth last season, but now it is all about the play-offs.
"I have said many times that Telford were the top team by some distance in this league and that Bracknell were a little behind everyone else. There is very little between the other seven teams and they are all capable of beating each other on any given night.
"It is a 50/50 chance this weekend as far as I'm concerned. Ourselves and Swindon were level on points at the end of a long season.
"We have won games in their rink and they have won in our building so I am expecting an exciting weekend."
Koulikov expects long-term injury absentee James Hutchinson to be available for the quarter-final showdown and his experience could prove invaluable in the shoot-out for honours.
Hutchinson was a member of the club's treble-winning team of 2008/09 and Phantoms are now attempting to reach the finals weekend in Coventry for only the second time since. The club lost at the semi-final stage in 2010/11.
Forward Edgars Bebris will also play after sitting out the final three games of the regular season with a knock.
Ticket prices for the home leg on Sunday are £14 for adults, £8 for concessions and £5 for children. They can all be booked in advance from the rink or through the club website www.gophantoms.co.uk

We chose to learn more about hunger in America, including food insecurity and the health impacts of hunger. We watched parts of a recent documentary called "A Place At the Table," about hunger in America. We had a lot of discussion around that and decided that we wanted to do something to help hungry people in our communities.
So we contacted the Alameda County Community Food Bank. There are many ways we can get involved.
1. Educate ourselves.
2. Donate/volunteer.
3. Advocate.
This week, the 4/5 students took a field trip to the Food Bank. It is an inspiring place dedicated to ending the effects of poverty of families in our community. We learned that one in six people living in the county have needed the services of this network of agencies dedicated to bringing healthy, nutritious foods to families in need. Its mission: "To alleviate hunger by providing nutritious food and nutrition education to people in need, educating the public, and promoting public policies that address hunger and its root causes."
We worked for an hour and a half with a large number of other volunteers bagging fresh fruits and vegetables for distribution to local community agencies that provide emergency food in their communities. The Food Bank relies heavily on volunteers and on donations; however, it does pay for most of the food that it provides. Did you know that every dollar spent by the Food Bank actually has the buying power of four dollars?
Over the next weeks and months, the class will continue to learn more about hunger and the organizations that are actively working to end hunger in our communities. Our next action will be to make a donation from our Happy Eating Place business to the Food Bank. We'll use an online virtual shopping cart to see how far our donation can go. You can check this out as well: https://www.vfd-accfb.org/shopforfood.aspx

The Last Supper
Jesus had followers.
These followers were called apostles.
Jesus and his apostles were eating dinner.
Jesus knew it was for the last time.
Jesus knew what was going to happen but his apostles didn't.
At dinner, Jesus took some bread, gave thanks for it, and he broke it.
He gave it to his apostles and said, "This is my body."
Jesus asked his apostles to do this in memory of him.
After dinner was over he took the cup of wine.
He gave thanks and handed it to his apostles.
"Drink this. This is my blood which will be shed for you," Jesus said.
Jesus promised the apostles that all sins would be forgiven.
The apostles were confused.
They didn't know what to think.
Jesus said, "One of you sitting here at the table will betray me."
Peter said, "I would never do that!"
Jesus looked at him and said, "Before the rooster crows you will say, three times, that you don't know me."
What do you think ?
What did Jesus mean when he passed out the bread?
What did Jesus mean when he passed out the wine?
What did Jesus promise?
Who would betray him?
Do you think Peter really will say that he didn't know who Jesus was?
Write to me and tell me what you think, BUT, ask your parents first.
Can you think of a better prayer?

The Nigeria Football Supporters Club are already inside the Stade De Lamite, here in Cotonou, venue for today's 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifier between the home-based Super Eagles and Benin Republic.
Completesportsnigeria.com's reporter who is already on the ground gathered that the over 50 supporters arrived in Cotonou today for the game and headed straight for the stadium.
They got to the stadium at around 1pm, three full hours before the 4pm kick-off, and started blaring their trumpets, beating their drums and singing their usual songs of support for the Super Eagles.
The supporters, who came with their National Chairman Samuel Ikpea, came in with three buses.
Ikpea stated that the supporters club decided to come in early to the stadium to let the home fans know that the Nigerians are in Cotonou for business.
Giving his prediction, Ikpea said the home-based Super Eagles will win 2-1.

Key Features of Zonhan Wind turbine
Key Features:
The main generator shaft is machined from 40Cr steel and heat treated to make it extremely tough.
The main generator shaft is tapered and has a keyway where the blade hub mounts prevents any hub slip.
High quality Stainless Steel bolts throughout the turbine.
High quality castellated, stainless steel nut and pin secures the hub to the main shaft.
High quality sealed bearings on the main shaft and the yaw bearing.
Vacuum pressure impregnated coil windings in the generator.
Rare Earth Magnets – The world strongest magnet!!! High quality neodymium iron boron material (NdFeB) magnets are used in the generator. These are also galvanized for longevity and are rated over 150 degrees Celsius.
Our Slip Rings use J164 carbon brush which contain 90% Copper, unlike most who use ONLY 20% Copper. This high copper content extends life and helps it carry more electricity, allowing more electricity to flow from the generator to your system.
Finned generator housing to allow for fast cooling during operation, this is to aid in effective generation.
Good blade profile and size allows these wind turbines to run relatively quiet compared to our competition.
Furling tail – During high winds this will effectively point the turbine away from the direct wind current, resulting in direct mechanical braking.
High density rubber stoppers on the tail arm.
Quality bushes through the blade bolt holes.
German made Kluber lubrication is used throughout this turbine.
As you can see from the above these are high quality, premium turbines. The quality of these are equal to or surpass any other wind turbine in the world.
These turbines produce REAL POWER in realistic conditions.
These are premium turbines, they are not second rate as we flatly refuse to sell anything but the best available.

Imma let you finish, but first lemme pull on your heartstrings
For the dog lovers out there, you know the saying is true: "dog is a man's best friend." Budweiser is quite aware of this and has decided to bring the Budweiser puppy back for its latest heartwarming ad. Well it's more of a quasi PSA for drunk driving, but it hits home for a lot of people out there. The spot was created in part to support the brand's 5th annual "Global Be(er) Responsible Day" – which is today. So have a cold one, but remember your #FriendsAreWaiting.

Parrish East End Stories

Wilfrid Zogbaum
1915 - 1965
Abstract Expressionism/ New York School
A fundamental theme of early-twentieth-century art is the notably close relation between abstract painting and sculpture. Much of the history of early modernism is in fact characterized by the constant striving of painting to attain the material presence of sculpture, and the striving of sculpture to realize the pictorially abstract possibilities of painting. The work of the Abstract Expressionist sculptor Wilfrid Zogbaum exemplifies such an unflagging dialogue over the course of a lifetime. Trained as a painter at the Rhode Island School of Design and Yale, Zogbaum eventually arrived in New York City, where he studied with the leading Ashcan School painter John Sloan and, beginning in 1935, Hans Hofmann. In the late 1930s, Zogbaum made his way to Europe, where he dutifully assimilated International Constructivism and Bauhaus design culture. After a brief stint in the Army Signal Corps during World War II, he returned to New York and set up shop as a commercial photographer, and joined the social and professional circles of the New York School. It was the early 1950s, and David Smith was busily pioneering a new kind of "drawing in space" in welded iron constructions. Zogbaum, who was already familiar with Long Island's East End, and who had long favored nature for inspiration, turned to the craggy landscape of Montauk for raw material, collecting rocks from the cliffs that were incorporated into welded steel figures. In other instances, he used more industrial, yet similarly scavenged, or "found," components from city streets for his assemblages. In 1959,
The Paris Review
included Zogbaum's work in a special section devoted to "Eastern Long Island Painters"—in hindsight, a testament to his transformation of the comparatively seamless two-dimensional "act" of painting into three-dimensional sculpture. Zogbaum might equally boast a more communal distinction: it was on his East End property that the region's annual tradition of the Artists & Writers softball game (to this day unbroken) was inaugurated in the summer of 1948.

Iran's oil minister has reiterated concerns that Babak Zanjani, the Iranian tycoon who is currently under arrest on suspicion of financial fraud, owes a debt of over two billion euros to the oil ministry.
Babak Zanjani - cartoon by Saeid Norouzi, Shargh daily
The Mehr News Agency reports that Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said the ministry has not received the money, and the documents Zanjani submitted to the Central Bank to show that he's paid the debt have not been verified.
Zanjani has claimed that the money was paid through the National Bank of Tajikistan.
Parliament reported earlier that the debt of 2.6 billion euros is linked to tens of thousands of barrels of crude oil that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government had sold through Zanjani.
The documents that Zanjani presented to the Central Bank reportedly were found to be "forgeries", which led to his arrest and his current incarceration at Evin Prison.

Louisiana Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer
Brain and head injury cases can be very complex. Our Louisiana brain injury lawyer has decades of experience, and understands the intricacies of these injury cases to strongly represent you.If traumatic brain injury results from an accident you may need the assistance of a Louisiana catastrophic injury lawyer. Official estimates are that at least 5.3 million Americans have a long-term need for help to perform activities of daily living as a result of a traumatic brain injury or head injury (TBI).
Head injuries and resulting brain damage can cause a wide range of functional changes affecting thinking, sensation, language, and emotions.
The human brain is an extremely complex and delicate organ. Major or minor trauma may cause traumatic brain injury. For example, a fall, motorcycle accident, or blow to the head may result in a brain injury. The effects of brain injury can be devastating as well as life-altering. Head injuries and brain damage resulting from traumatic brain injury can trigger a number of functional changes which often drastically affect a person's thinking, emotions, sensation, language and memory. It can also increase one's risk for other brain disorders that become more common as one ages.
Direct trauma to the skull commonly results in traumatic brain injury, brain damage and other injuries to the head. However, brain injury or brain damage can also result from the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the brain, which can cause shearing or tearing of nerve fibers, contusion or bruising if the brain contacts the skull, or edema or swelling.
Complications Arising from Traumatic Brain Injury
Brain injuries are a cause for great concern since they affect such a critical organ of the human body. Even the slightest trauma to the brain can leave a long-term impact on the normal functioning of an individual. High impact accidents, especially those involving automobiles, contact sports and slip and fall accidents can lead to brain injuries of varying degrees. It is estimated that about two million people in the United States suffer some type of brain trauma each year. Moreover, those most susceptible to traumatic brain injury are those of age 24 or younger. If an accident has caused you or a loved one to suffer a brain injury, then an experienced personal injury lawyer can help.
Types of Brain Injury
Brain injuries can range from the mild to the moderate to the severe. Those categorized as mild include concussion which can cause momentary loss of consciousness and temporary confusion or disorientation. Generally, layman do not recognize these as a brain injury, and their effects may manifest without notice for a long time after the accident. A closed-head injury resulting in concussion can also cause more severe and permanent injury to the brain than initially noticed. This is often un-noticed initially because the symptoms can be subtle.
Brain injury or brain trauma affects most brain functions. Mental fatigue, sleep disorders, memory lapses, inability to think clearly, nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and headaches are all symptoms of a brain injury. Neuropsychological testing can help evaluate the extent of any brain dysfunction from a head injury and help determine the right diagnosis.
Symptoms of brain injuries such as changes in eating habits, persistent crying, irritability, depression, and a loss of interest in activities may manifest in children who have sustained injury.
Treatment of Brain Injuries
Rest and some pain medications may cure mild brain injuries. But doctors will often require monitoring and follow-up visits to make sure no more subtle symptoms indicate more serious damage. More serious brain injuries may need immediate, emergency care. In the event of blood clots, skull fractures, or accumulation of fluid, surgery becomes inevitable.
The rehabilitation process can sometimes be long in duration. Some brain injury victims have to be taught basic skills such as walking, speaking and eating even. Physical therapists, occupational therapists, neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, and nurses may all have to be engaged to complete the rehabilitation process to maximize the victim's recovery.
Costs Involved in Louisiana
Treatment of brain injuries and the recovery process can be very complicated and expensive. Medical costs can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. If the injured person needs assistance or care for the rest of his or her life, then the expenses will obviously be even higher. Even mild brain injuries may require hospitalization for a couple of days to ascertain that there are no other problems.

Photo from YouTube.comI already knew who was going to be kicked off American Idol last week (bye, bye cutie-pie Casey), so I wasn't really paying that much attention to the results show. But wait, hold up ... pause ... rewind. I am loving that shirt that Crystal Bowersox is wearing.
I found out that it was the "Alligator Tee" from the couture t-shirt line Born Famous, a favorite of celebrities like Nicole Richie, Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively, and Lindsay Lohan. Best part, it's actually affordable. The shirt that Crystal is wearing is only $22 and comes in two other colors. Woot!
Born Famous; $22I have a feeling that Born Famous may become one of my new favorite lines.
Have you heard of this brand before? Do you like it?
