On October 12th and 13th Innovation Social came to New York holding our inaugural Innovation Social Global. Global's are our premium meet-ups where we invite fifty Innovation Leaders and Thinkers to spend a day and half discussing the key issues and sharing experiences and learnings. Think of it like an Innovation Salon - a historical concept for the gathering of like minded people to learn, challenge and evolve. The inaugural Innovation Social Global was only made possible thanks to the support of our wonderful Partners - TDA Creative, Google and EQT Ventures. Thank you so much Abby, Lars and Ted.
We kicked off the programme at The Mill, who kindly hosted us, and with an Innovation Social tradition - That's Me That Is. Everyone had 2 minutes to introduce themselves with one image which represented long-term and strategic innovation. The images used were varied and fascinating and my personal favourite was Coney Island which was a hot bed of Innovation as it is, for example, where baby incubators were first invented. Who knew!? Conversations covered fly knit from Nike, the ever-present Air BnB and more technical examples such as Blockchain.
We then welcomed Dr Kate Stone to the floor to talk about her ceaseless pursuit of Innovation in paper - making paper smart through the use of inbuilt circuit boards. Kate is at the forefront of Innovation everyday as she is an inventor and an explorer. Her advice to big business when it comes to Innovation? It only works when it is a way of life - it cannot hide in the basement it needs to be at the heart of everything the organisation does.
After a round of demo's from Kate we then went onto The Mill's roof terrace to enjoy the Wok+Wine experience. Wok+Wine use proven psychological methodologies to drive connections, change perceptions and encourage people to learn how to think in new and unconventional ways. For example the table is too small ensuring everyone mixes, the food is eaten by hand to level everyone to share the same experience and there is only one type of wine so anyone can top anyone up. It was delicious, fun and the view from the terrace was incredible. A 12 foot table of shrimp really can create moments of serendipity.
The next day sixty Innovation leaders and thinkers met at Betaworks in the West Village to really get to the heart of the programme. How to sustain Innovation for the long-term followed by a deep dive into AI. Our co-founder Nadya Powell kicked off the morning by talking about the four things that enable Innovation for the long-term: culture, process, partnerships and leadership. She used Amazon as a case study of how keeping a day 1 culture - where you focus on outcomes not process - is critical to building an Innovation Culture. And also explored the value of rest - something we all too rarely talk about - as only when we rest can we make tangental connections which lead to Innovation. Nadya's talk acted as the perfect warm-up for some of the key issues of the day.
Nadya then handed over to James Cooper to talk about how Betaworks have built an Innovation culture. James spent some time talking about some of the unique attributes of Betaworks and one that stood out is its generosity. When Betaworks build a product that they feel will be successful on a wider scale they spin it out of the company and establish it as a business in it's own right - which is exactly what they did with Giphy and Poncho. Betaworks still retain equity in the business but they let the founding team lead the business thereby ensuring the best people seek Betaworks out. James ended with one of the more controversial quotes of the day - You can pivot a product but you can't pivot culture - which caused much debate. His overall point was it is harder to pivot culture than a product and there are all too few examples of culture being pivoted successfully. James then joined our 'Innovation for the long-term panel' for further discussion.
The panel focussed on the four ingredients that enable long-term strategic innovation - culture, process, partnerships and leadership and to drive this debate we were privileged to have Soraya Darabi, Itai Asseo, Susan Lyne and James Cooper join us all hosted by Nadya. The discussions were too involved to do justice to here but highlights included James questioning whether an Innovation process is ever needed as at Betaworks they have no defined innovation process and instead organise themselves according to key values such as generosity and entrepreneurialism. Susan focussed on Amazon's use of the dual operating system: half the business follows a standard operating model and the other follows a defined innovation process. Lastly, Itai highlighted the role of leadership at Salesforce, as though Salesforce Ignite is the Innovation arm of Salesforce the leadership ensure it is integrated into everything the business does.
A tradition of Innovation Social is Innovation Stories - case studies of innovation from the front line of leaders and thinkers doing it everyday. Hosted by the wonderful Kate Gardiner we were privileged to have four case studies of innovation shared with us - all of which provided clear insight into where next for Innovation.
First up was Rem Reynolds from Inamoto&Co talking about their Incubation Programme Toyota Next inspired by the insight that in 2025, the way we move & travel will be significantly enhanced or changed. Toyota Next aims to identify innovative startups to design the next-generation applications for Transportation & Automotive. On the announcement day Toyota's stock went up 1.5%, equivalent to $3.8bn, so there are already strong signs of success. The first set of applications are closed - it is a large scale and long term programme - and we look forward to what is next.
Sonny Cabberwal and Saneel Radia then talked about the innovation programme that forms the basis of the partnership between R/GA and Newell Brands. Newell Brands are a FMCG business with a long-standing heritage and are starting to investigate the implications the connected home will have on their product set. Sonny's advice to businesses looking to innovate is trust - you cannot change a heritage brand like Newell overnight as first you must build trust in the team and the experiments you wish to undertake. Saneel's advice was to ensure there is a small, senior (board level) steering committee for Innovation endeavours as he has never seen a programme succeed without this. We would have all loved triple the time we had with Sonny and Saneel - the perfect case study of Innovation.
Laura Brounstein then talked about the work she is doing at Hearst, specifically Cosmopolitan, to innovate the business model. Traditionally advertising and editorial have been carefully separated, church and state, with neither having knowledge of what the other is doing. Laura has been undertaking a series of experiments where the two collide with brands building out stories and experiences for the readership, always with close allegiance to Cosmopoliton's purpose. This has met with huge success as it has enabled their readers to have bigger and more authentic conversations. How did she make it happen - proved there was a commercial benefit. In this case the bottom line did the talking.
Last up was Tom McLeod who blew our minds with his new start-up Omni - an on-demand access and storage company. Omni began as Tom needed to move and put stuff in storage and could not comprehend how difficult storage currently is. Once an item is in storage it is almost impossible to take it out and then - for example - your golf clubs can never be used again. Tom felt this was a waste of resources and was contributing to the increase in 'stuff' in the world. So he designed a way for people to access their stuff on demand and even to make it available to other people to 'borrow'. Wow.
As the discussions ended it was time to move onto the next segment - a deep-dive into AI. Three speakers took to the stage starting with Claire Graves from The Webbys. The Webbys has just completed research into consumer views on AI and suffice to say people are more accepting than you would think. Claire then gave us a tour of all the many uses and flaws of AI with our particular favourite being AI driven image recognition...is it a labradoodle or fried chicken?
Sarah Fay then took to the stage and spoke about her experience of AI as part of Glasswing Ventures, a VC that specialises in funding AI focussed companies. One of her biggest challenges is selecting which start-ups to fund as many claim to be AI but when you look under the hood they are instead using someone else's tech to power their AI capability. Sarah ended her talk by talking about JIBO, the first ever social robot for the home, a robot that both Sarah and Justin have on back-order. He definitely points at the power of the future of AI and is worth getting to know more.
Last up was Justin Hendrix from NYC Media Lab who kicked off by explaining the concept of NYC Media Lab - it is a consortium of organisations (New York City Economic Development Corporation, School of Visual Arts, New York University, Columbia University, The New School, CUNY, IESE, and Pratt Institute) generate research and development, knowledge transfer, and talent across all of the city's campuses. If anyone follows Justin on Twitter you will know he has a pretty dystopian view of the future and to drill how AI can remove certainty from the world he shared this video demonstrating Adobe's Photoshop for Voice which enables anyone to change anything someone says - watch from 3 minutes in. The biggest irony of this clip is that no-one seems to acknowlede the implications of the technology re: fake news. Scary stuff.
Before we broke for our round tables sessions we had a very special fireside chat between Katie Longmyer, a connector between brands and creative talent, Kerin Rose Gold, luxury eyewear designer and fashion pundit, and Nick Catchdubs, music producer and DJ. The fireside chat was inspired by the concept - how do you achieve that difficult second album which was the perfect metaphor for sustaining innovation. These three people are at the intersection of brands and creativity everyday and shared their experience of how to stay innovative despite the commercial pressures of reality. Their plea was when brands work in partnerships with creatives, to drive more innovation through the business, to not expect the creative to then change their style, work or beliefs for that brand. That is not partnership, instead it is simply a hand for hire - which nicely picked up some of our conversations from the first panel around the power of partnerships.
The fireside chat drew the event to a close and we moved to round table discussions - a chance for everyone to discuss and share their thoughts on some of the key themes of the day. A huge thank you to Justin Hendrix for hosting the AI table, to James Cooper for hosting the Innovation culture table and to Anthony Mayfield for hosting the Innovation process table. The conversation could have continued long into the night - but at 5pm we decided to move the conversation to a different location and went to a rooftop bar overlooking the High Line. So over wine, beer and gin we could talk Innovation until the stars twinkled.
Innovation Socials' first foray to New York was a huge success and the attendees gave it an overwhelmingly positive score of 8.7 out of 10. A few of our favourite quotes are:
"A coming together of leaders, influencers and decision makers, sharing real experiences, challenges and information in a respectful, egalitarian and fun way.
"Innovation Social is a perfect balance of inspiration speakers and opportunity to meet new people"
Once again a huge thank you to our partners - EQT Ventures, Google and TDA Creative - to our amazing advisory board and to our speakers. And in some ways most importantly, to our guests whose desire to get involved in the subject of Innovation made it the real success.
We plan to come back to New York in May 2018 and if you would like to speak or attend don't hesitate to contact Nadya.

Kit Review : HG 1/144 Stark Jegan
It's been so long since I've reviewed a kit..so after my long hiatus..I'll start with something simple..however..i don't have a good camera and lighting..so please bear with me :)
So here it is guys..the HG 1/144 Stark Jegan from the Gundam Unicorn series!
Some info on the suit:
The RGM-89S Stark Jegan is a prototype mobile suit built as a mid-range fire support unit. The overall performance is greatly increased over the standard RGM 89 Jegan.The Stark Jegan's legs are fitted with additional armor, and new armaments are incorporated across the body, including a pair of machine guns and two sets of missile launchers. The large missile launcher is capable of mounting a nuclear warhead. The Stark Jegan can also carry a bazooka or beam rifle. The Stark Jegan is slower with the additional armor and armaments, but if necessary, they can be ejected.

The ProFlex Methodology: Agile Manufacturing in Practice
Today, manufacturing production systems are required to be responsive, re-configurable, adaptable, and flexible. The fulfilment of these requirements is directly related to the method used to design and develop their control applications. The paper presents the result of an investigation study to capture current techniques adopted by logic designers during the design and development of control applications at IntRoSys. The result of this study is then used as the foundation for the development of a methodology and its related tools for achieving agility in programming manufacturing control systems.

United States Army deception formations of World War II
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (January 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The United States Army created a large number of notional deception formations that were used in a number of World War II deception operations. The most notable fictional US formation was the First U.S. Army Group (FUSAG); this field army was originally intended as the main invasion force for the Invasion of Normandy, however that was renamed to the 12th Army Group. FUSAG remained in existence on paper and was used during Operation Fortitude South to divert Axis attention to the Pas de Calais area.[1][page needed]
The imaginary formations ranged in size from battalion to field army and were faked using documents, photographs, double agents, news reportage and physical subterfuge. Some of the units were either based on existing decommissioned formations (usually World War I formations) or created afresh. Many were used multiple times, Clarke in particular believed that reusing units in the long term would help establish their existence in the mind of the enemy.[2]
Field armies and army groups[edit]
|1st US Army Group (FUSAG)
|1943 – October 1944
|Fortitude South
|Created for the planning of the invasion of Normandy the FUSAG later became redundant and was used to mislead Axis that the Allies intended a major invasion at Pas de Calais. Later utilised to threaten airborne landings in September 1944.
|2nd US Army Group (SUSAG)
|Originally intended to take the role of the FUSAG, but when the latter's job was taken over by the 12th Army Group the formation became redundant.
|Twelfth Army
|Activated as part of SHAEF, never used.
|Fourteenth Army
|May 1944 – October 1944
|Fortitude South
|A subordinate of FUSAG, supposedly landed in Liverpool and stationed in Little Waltham, Essex. Moved from FUSAG to SHAEF later in the year; double agents reported to the Germans that it was largely US convicts.
|IX Amphibious Corps
|The notional amphibious component of the Ninth Fleet. Used to convey to the Japanese that the United States planned to attack the Kuriles rather than the Marianas.[1][page needed]
|XXX Corps
|Fortitude South
|Activated as part of SHAEF, never used.[1][page needed]
|XXXI Corps
|XXXIII Corps
|Fortitude South
|XXXV Airborne Corps
|Pastel Two
|Formed part of Operation Pastel Two, the planned deception for Operation Olympic, but never formally used.[3] The final version of Operation Pastel incorporated notional airborne landings, using dummy parachutists in the interior of Kyūshū.[4][5] XXXV Airborne Corps was designated as carrying out this task.[4] Had Operation Pastel been carried out, the first elements of the Corps, quartering parties of the notional 18th Airborne Division, would have been depicted as reaching Okinawa on 15 August 1945.[6] Following this glider pilots were to have been depicted as reaching Okinawa around 20 August 1945, followed by the troops of the real 11th and 18th Airborne Divisions, starting to arrive in Okinawa on 1 September 1945. On the same day the notional corps headquarters would have been activated.[3][5]
|XXXVII Corps
|Fortitude South
|XXXVIII Corps
|Fortitude South
|Activated as part of SHAEF, never used.[1][page needed]
|XXXIX Corps
|Fortitude South
|Activated as part of SHAEF, never used.[1][page needed]
|6th Airborne Division
|May – July 1944
|'Operation Vendetta', 1944.
|This notional formation was 'built up' around real units, the 517th Regimental Combat Team, 1st Battalion, 551st Parachute Infantry Regiment & the 550th Airborne Infantry Battalion which were depicted as operating under a single command when in fact they were operating separately.[2] Supposedly arrived in Sicily from the United States in May 1944. It was notionally attached to the Seventh United States Army and was to be dropped on the town of Paulhan in France to support a fictional invasion of the Narbonne region. It was disposed of by announcing in July 1944 that the division had been disbanded.[2]
|9th Airborne Division
|June – November 1944
|Fortitude South
|11th Infantry Division
|? – October 1944
|Fortitude South
|14th Infantry Division
|Activated as part of SHAEF, never used.
|17th Infantry Division
|June – October 1944
|Fortitude South
|18th Airborne Division
Pastel Two
|21st Airborne Division
|June – November 1944
|Fortitude South
|The division was initially depicted as being under the direct command of US 14th Army with its headquarters located in Fulbeck, Lincolnshire in June 1944. In the Pas de Calais landings it and the 9th Airborne Division were to be dropped behind the XXXVII Corps beachheads. In August 1944 it was notionally transferred to the direct command of First United States Army Group, where it assisted in the training of the U.S. 48th Infantry Division in air landing techniques. In the aftermath of Fortitude South, the notional U.S. 9th and 21st Airborne Divisions, the notional British 2nd Airborne Division, and the real United States 17th Airborne Division were used to depict an airborne threat to the Kiel-Bremen area, supporting Operation Market Garden.[7] In November 1944 it was announced that the division had been merged with the 9th Airborne Division to form the 13th Airborne Division, a real unit that was about to be deployed to France.
|22nd Infantry Division
|48th Infantry Division
|June – December 1944
|Fortitude South
|The 48th Infantry Division was "created" in 1944 as an 'phantom division'. It formed part of Operation Quicksilver and Fortitude South II to replace the real 6th Armored Division when it moved to Normandy.[8][9]
The division was presented to the Germans as a well trained unit that had been formed at Camp Clatsop, Oregon, in 1942. Following training at the Desert Training Center and maneuvers in the Olympic Peninsula the division had guarded the ALCAN Highway before being shipped to England in June 1944, where Agent Garbo reported that the uncle of one of his agents (An American NCO in the ETO Services of Supply.[10]) was a member of the division, which was not at the time he made the report under the command of either the First US Army Group or the 21st Army Group.[2][11] After disembarkation, the division established its initial headquarters at Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire before moving to Woodbridge in Suffolk.[2] There, as part of the U.S. XXXIII Corps (United States) of the US 14th Army it was assigned the role of following up the Pas de Calais landings.[12]
Following Fortitude South II the division was depicted as moving to Brockenhurst in Hampshire where it carried out air landing training in conjunction with the US 21st Airborne Division. In December 1944 the division was depicted as moving to Dundee in Scotland where it was disbanded at the start of 1945, with some soldiers being used as replacements for other units while a small cadre returned to the United States.[2]
|50th Infantry Division
|55th Infantry Division
|October 1943 – March 1945
|Fortitude North
|59th Infantry Division
|Fortitude South
|15th Armored Division
|Activated as part of SHAEF, never used.
|25th Armored Division
|Fortitude South
|39th Armored Division
|Activated as part of SHAEF, never used.

Window Condensation: Understanding What It Means
It's almost that season where energy efficient windows can affect your heating bill by holding more temperate air in your room while keeping the elements outside. However, you may start to notice condensation settling on your windows and doors during colder months.
If you see condensation on your window, don't stress! It isn't time to start diagnosing your window. The fact is, condensation on the inside of your windows—known as roomside condensation—isn't a sign of a defective window at all. Rather, it means your windows are being efficient.
So, what is creating the condensation on your windows? And, more importantly, what signs of condensation should raise alarms about your window's health? Here are the facts about window condensation:
Do my new windows or doors lead to condensation?
Some homeowners connect the sight of condensation in the months after installing new windows with unnoticed problems during the installation process. Condensation on windows and doors is not caused by the window or door product. Instead, it comes due to high humidity levels in your home.
As a matter of fact, the presence of condensation more often than not is a result of the increased energy efficiency of your new windows. Air with more humidity keeps water vapor until it touches a surface temperature less than or equal to the dew point—the temperature at which air becomes saturated and produces dew. Because glass surfaces are often the coldest part of the room, condensation shows up on windows initially, in the form of water droplets or frost on the roomside of the window. As the air inside becomes drier, or as the glass surface becomes warmer, condensation begins to disappear.
More than a few factors go into whether you might see condensation on your windows. You might even find that a window in one part of your room has roomside condensation while one on the other side doesn't. Air circulation, changing room temperatures, air register location, and the type and size of the window can all influence the chances of roomside condensation. Even the glass type, window coverings and screens and proximity to a water source can all have an impact on what levels of humidity are around a window.
Why do I at times see condensation on opposite sides of the window?
Your previous windows may have been drafty or didn't have the advanced, energy efficient technology of today's windows. Additionally, other home repairs, such as adding a new roof or siding, might also establish a tighter seal against air infiltration in your home. Because of that, your home may keep more humidity making condensation more frequentl than before.
In the warmer seasons, this same phenomenon can be noticed on the outside of your windows. Exterior condensation can gather due to high outdoor humidity, little or no wind, and a clear night sky. It establishes itself in the same way as roomside condensation, when the temperature of the glass cools below the dew point of the outside air. Since the cooler air inside your house isn't leaking due to increased energy efficiency, it's more likely to see external condensation at times like these.
You can deal with exterior condensation by opening shades at night to warm up exterior glass and increase air circulation by removing any shrubbery that might be obstructing windows. Adjusting the air conditioner a few degrees warmer can also make a difference.
For roomside condensation, there are a group of factors that can impact the humidity in your home. Here are a couple of common culprits that can lead to roomside condensation:
Due to this better insulation, some windows can have a strip of condensation that forms all the way around the roomside of the window. Most often, this occurs when the center of the glass stays warmer than the glass closest to the edge. It isn't a sign that the window is leaking air or not functioning correctly.
Can Roomside Condensation Hurt My Windows?
One area where condensation on windows should become an immediate concern, however, is if condensation is noticed between the two sealed panes of insulating glass in multi-pane windows. In this instance, condensation is a mark of seal failure and the insulating glass should be replaced.
More often than not though, condensation on your windows doesn't mean there is a concern with your windows. It serves as an alert to the possibility of other unseen, potentially pricey problems in other areas in your house.
High indoor humidity can result in structural damage and even upset your health. Because these effects frequently go without notice in the wall cavities, attics and crawl spaces, the visible sign of condensation on glass is a good signal that humidity levels are too high. And while window condensation and musty odors might be seen as bothersome, they can grow into more severe concerns such as water stains on walls and ceilings if left unresolved.
In the same way, left unaddressed, condensation issues can mean window problems over time. Make sure to take continual roomside condensation seriously. Think of it as an early alarm to high humidity in your room, one that can easily be resolved before it gets worse. Understanding condensation is just the beginning to keeping your home comfortable and maintaining your windows. If you have any questions about condensation and whether your windows and doors are resisting condensation effectively, give Pella Windows and Doors in Davenport a call or visit the showroom.

UA Financial Board
"The purpose of this committee shall be to recommend allocations for student group funding to the UA Principal Officers and Council in a fair, beneficial, and responsible manner." -Finboard Bylaws, Article II
The Financial Board (Finboard) allocates funding to student groups in order to support their events. The overall mission and goal of Finboard is to objectively and fairly support all student groups within the limits of the budget and the Finboard Funding Policies.
Finboard Ongoing Initiatives
As a part of the UA's ongoing initiative to support the MIT undergraduate community, Finboard is pleased to offer MIT undergraduates the opportunity to apply for the UA Travel Grant. This grant is oriented towards funding individual students up to $1,000 to attend professional or academic conferences that will enhance students' undergraduate experience beyond MIT's campus. Detailed information about the Travel Grant can be found here. Please first fill out the UA Travel Grant Application and then submit it via the UA Travel Grant Application Form.
In addition, the UA is pleased to be leading the Pilot Program to allow student groups to both more easily keep track of their Funding Account Balances and spend Finboard-allocated funds over an extended time-frame. More information about the Pilot Program can be found here.
How To Apply for Finboard Funding
Finboard funds ASA recognized student groups composed of a majority of undergraduate students. If a student group is eligible to apply for Finboard Funding, they can apply for funding at finboard.mit.edu when the funding applications are open. There are four funding cycles per year - Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring. A breakdown of the periods of these four cycles is as follows:
Winter Cycle: January 1 - March 31
Spring Cycle: April 1 - June 30
Summer Cycle: July 1 - September 30
Fall Cycle: October 1 - December 31
The funding application opens for each cycle according to the calendar below. Eligible student groups can apply, using the Finboard Funding Policies as a guideline. Please consult the Example Finboard Funding Application as a reference. Applications are then reviewed by Finboard, and funds are allocated and sent to SAO for approval. Once approved, the allocations are released to the student groups. If a student group wishes to appeal the results, they may do so once the Appeals application opens. Finboard then reviews those Appeals and sends those allocations to SAO and once approved, the Appeals are released to student groups. At that point, all funding is final.
Student groups can use the Roles Database to see their Pilot Accounts (F/S, for Fall and Spring, respectively), Funding Accounts (if not involved in the Pilot Program), and Main Accounts by clicking on the corresponding links. Finboard will update these spreadsheets on a semesterly-basis.
How Finboard Funding Works
Once a student group has been allocated funds, that group may then "use" those funds. When a group is allocated funds, there is no physical transfer of funds into the student group's Funding Account. Rather, the student group may process reimbursements against their Funding Account up to the amount allocated, and only for line items specifically applied for an approved during the Finboard Funding Application process. Student groups may only utilize funds for the cycle for which they applied for; funds do not "carry over" to the next cycle. The reimbursements must be processed in a timely manner, and RFPs must be submitted by 15 days after the end of the cycle for which the funds were allocated. Note: if a student group is involved in the Pilot Program, then the funds will actually be transferred into the group's Pilot Account (for the Spring or Fall).
Winter Cycle: January 1 - March 31
Spring Cycle: April 1 - June 30

Sewing to Fit: Thoughts on a Curriculum
If you've met me, you know I am not an average-sized person. I'm six feet tall and wear a size 12 shoe. Women like me are not allowed by garment manufacturers. I've pieced together a wardrobe of lucky thrift shop finds and carefully chosen off-the-rack men's jeans- but still. The things that fit me best, both by form and personality, are the ones I've taken time to make by hand.
We are all in the same boat. It's rare to find off-the-rack clothing that works for our bodies, feels ethically good to buy, and is still affordable..
Because my mom is a seamstress, I have long had an odd knowledge of my body. One side of my ribcage is larger than the other. My shoulders are narrow. My waist-to-hip length is between 4 and 6 inches longer than "standard" – any pair of women's pants I try on will cut into me at a very unflattering spot. You get the idea. (And you can probably hear my teenage diatribe about how "they" choose "standard." Right next to my diatribe about the BMI chart.)
How does this translate? When I sew for myself, I have to add inches to the length of every pattern piece. I move bust darts and ease one side of the back. I change the shape of the crotch seam. Nothing looks like the original pattern piece when I am finished. It looks like me instead. We would like all of you to have access to these skills as well.
It was with delight that I met Elizabeth Woods, who will be heading up our advanced sewing curriculum. Liz is a fantastic seamstress with some really fun and quirky costume design under her belt. She has a degree in engineering which helps her every day in her costuming business. Sewing is engineering, folks.
She's also a tough fit for off-the-rack clothing, standing just five feet tall. When we sat down the first thing we chatted about was the alterations we have to make to get our clothes to fit.
Liz will be teaching a series of classes – from beginner to advanced – to get your sewing skills rocking.
We're designing a three-pronged curriculum, roughly divided into 1) technical skills; 2) patternmaking; and 3) design and embellishment. These three areas do overlap, so things may not always fit cleanly into one category. There will be beginning, intermediate, and advanced classes available in each area. The curriculum will include everything from a simple learn how to sew class, like Robin's mitered napkin and tote classes, which teach you essential foundation skills; to clothing and pattern alteration and making custom jeans and lingerie, which incorporate all of the things you learn from the beginning.
Here are Liz's thoughts:
How we approach the things that surround us, and particularly the things that surround our bodies, has a huge impact on how we carry out our daily lives. When clothes fit - in both style and cut - confidence soars. Clothes and accessories communicate wordlessly to the outside world, and it is powerful to deliberately set the messages being transmitted.
I was nine when I learned how to sew, and I've had a needle in my hand every day since. I love to imbue the items of our daily lives with personality. I grew up on a farm with tight resources. I learned how to make things from what was available around me. My grandmothers taught me Depression-era thrift and dressmaking skill. Today, we have many choices about where our goods are sourced - mass-market clothing remains one of the deeply contentious industries, with rampantly unfair pay for workers and little service paid to individual needs for customers.
Join me in honing a set of skills that are boundlessly creative and deeply personal - defining and making your own wardrobe from the inside out.
I hope you are as excited about the sewing curriculum as I am. Keep your eyes on our calendar for classes as they pop up -- Zippers is posted, and a cap class will go up in the next week, followed by a custom leggings class. Please send along any requests or thoughts!

text: Sexual Health STDs Symptoms Print Diagnosis and Treatment of Mycoplasma Genitalium Common bacteria linked to STIs in women and men By Elizabeth Boskey, PhD Updated October 22, 2019 Medically reviewed by Susan Olender, MD Jess Wiberg / Getty Images More in STDs Symptoms Chlamydia Herpes HPV Gonorrhea Causes & Risk Factors Syphilis Diagnosis Living With Prevention Treatment More STDs View All Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), has only recently started to be recognized as a significant health concern. It is a relatively common bacteria that was discovered in the 1980s. At that point, mycoplasma was thought to be harmless, effectively "hitching a ride" on the back of other diseases rather than causing disease on its own. These days, that's no longer true. Mycoplasma genitalium is thought to be a significant cause of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) with scientists only just beginning to give it the full attention it deserves. Understanding Mycoplasma Genitalium It is now clear that Mycoplasma genitalium is the prime rather than secondary cause of many infections, including forms of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU). It has also been associated with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and implicated in other infections once attributed to other bacteria. By and large, most cases of MG are asymptomatic. If symptoms do appear, they are largely nonspecific and easily mistaken for other STIs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea. Mycoplasma genitalium symptoms also differ significantly in women and men: Women tend to experience vaginal itching, burning on urination, and pain during intercourse. They may also find themselves bleeding between periods or after sex. MG is also associated with bacterial vaginosis, the symptoms of which can include a fishy odor after sex and changes in vaginal discharge.Men, on the other hand, may experience urethral discharge, burning on urination, and pain and swelling of the joints (arthritis). MG is the most common cause of non-chlamydial non-gonococcal urethritis in men. Symptoms of Common STDs Challenges in Diagnosis The main barrier to diagnosing MG is that there is no approved blood test to confirm infection. Direct diagnosis requires a bacterial culture, which takes up to six months to grow. There are other ways to directly identify mycoplasm genitalium, but those tests are mostly reserved for research. Because of this, MG is usually diagnosed a presumptively. In other words, a doctor will assume MG is the cause of a person's symptoms after they have made an effort to rule out all other options. To most experienced clinicians today, MG is generally assumed to be involved in both BV and NGU infections. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 15 to 20 percent of non-gonococcal urethritis cases are directly caused by MG. MG is implicated in one out of every three cases of persistent or recurrent urethritis. Mycoplasma can also be detected in 10 to 30 percent of women with symptoms of cervical inflammation or infection. Treatment Mycoplasma genitalium is standardly treated with antibiotics, most commonly a single 1g dose of azithromycin. While azithromycin is considered safe and effective, there is now evidence of increasing resistance to the drug in populations where it broadly used. While other antibiotics may be substituted, doxycycline is considered less effective (albeit with a lower risk of resistance). An extended course of moxifloxacin has been shown to be very effective in some studies. However, shorter courses are associated with treatment failure. Issues with treatment failures in cases of NGU because of the presence of MG highlight a growing problem with the syndromic treatment of STIs. Syndromic treatment is where doctors treating a class of diseases in the same way, without testing for their cause. This type of treatment presumptively exposes a person to medications that may not work as well or effectively as the treatment that would be chosen if the cause of the disease was known. In the event of a bacterial infection, using the wrong drug can also potentially add to the already huge problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Growing concerns about antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea have led to multiple changes in the recommended treatment regimen over the past decade. There are concerns that, in time, no reliable treatment will be available for this common STD. How Do Doctors Choose the Right Antibiotic Treatment? Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

Billionaire Clive Palmer rules out vying for a casino licence in Qld
Queensland billionaire Clive Palmer says he will not be competing for one of the three new casino licences issued by the State Government.
The Government announced on Monday it will offer up to three new casino licences in the state - one being part of a redevelopment of government buildings in Brisbane's CBD.
It says other licences could be offered as part of major resort developments.
Premier Campbell Newman said extra revenue was not a factor in the Government's decision.
Mr Palmer today told reporters he was not planning on vying for one of the licences.
"I don't think so," he said. "Given the state of the economy, we need to limit the damage that gambling can do to our society.
Current major licence holders in Qld:
- Treasury Casino in Brisbane
- Jupiters Gold Coast
- Jupiters Townsville Hotel and Casino
- The Reef Hotel Casino in Cairns
"We have an integrated plan up at Coolum that we wanted to do and bring about $3 billion or $4 billion to Queensland, create a lot of jobs, but the Newman Government didn't want that.
"Whether I do business in Queensland is not important to me."
Mr Palmer says he is not sure if many casinos could survive in Queensland.
"All I can say about casinos is from a commercial thing rather than a political thing, if you go up to Townsville there is a casino up there that is making $4 million a year - that is about it.
"Having a casino is not an answer to enterprise or to demand or things like that."
He says the Palmer United Party wants to focus on the positive things about Queensland.
"What we have to offer in the Great Barrier Reef, the rainforests and wildlife and the national parks," he said.
"That is what will get people to Queensland more than a casino."

Sweet Baby Jameson
Babies like Jameson make me excited to go to work in my studio every day.
Not only is he totally delicious, but this perfect little cherub also stayed in dreamland the entire photo shoot. This allowed me to work my magic nonstop.
And as a result, I was able to stage several different set ups. Squee!!!
Of course, I always love to take the pictures of mom and dad with their little miracle. I will seriously never tire of watching the way parents look at each other and at their baby.
It's truly the purest form of love and I am honored to be able to capture that for posterity.
Jameson's mom and dad dressed in white for their first family portraits. Mama is a nurse and Dad works in finance.
But don't let that fool you! Both of them have a wilder side too. They absolutely love Harley Davidson Motorcycles. In fact, their super cool engagement pictures were taken while they were riding their bikes. If only they made baby motorcycles, am I right?!?!
And I couldn't resist photographing their sweetie with their wedding rings too.
But I also took pictures of the softer side of baby Jameson. Since he remained sleeping, I got to pull out all the stops.
Mom and Dad brought along an adorable costume change for him as well: a hat with his name printed all over it! I was kind of obsessed with the hat, actually.
Especially after I learned that this is how Jameson's Mom and Dad announced to their family what his name was! What a cool way to announce a little one's name.
Congratulations M Family! Jameson is perfect!

You can hire an individual caregiver or work with an agency. We encourage you to work with an agency in order to leverage their greater resources.

At Assisting Hands Home Care, we would send a substitute caregiver in this situation.

We currently have an opportunity for a TEFL qualified teacher in our Brisbane school. We can promise you a stimulating environment, support every step of the way, and ongoing academic career progression.Recruitment for our Summer Schools begins in January each year and continues until May. Please contact us at that time if you would like to apply for summer 2009. Those who wish to apply for a full-time teaching position in one of our year-round schools should email a CV to Lesley Chilton at the address given on the job heading page.
The minimum qualification is CELTA or TESOL certification. We will however, consider teachers with considerable teaching experience.
In this unit ,i was able to review some of the common differeces between speaking and writing.When it comes to writing we don't give the students encough time to practice in class does ignoring it in a way but they are both important while writing requires greater degree of accuracy ,speaking on the hand requires greater degree of fluency.And they are both equally important when it comes to language learning.Teaching receptive skills plays an important role in learning opportunities for the students. The students reading and writing abilities and most certainly associated with their listening ability, and this lesson has identified the various ways that this can be successfully accomplished. The receptive skills, reading and listening are fundamental in helping students to effectively communicate with other people.

Gujarat election dates to be announced at 1pm by Election Commission
The Commission has been under attack from opposition parties for not announcing the Gujarat dates along with Himachal Pradesh, which goes to polls on November 9.The date for the Himachal election was announced on October 12.
The delay, according to the opposition, was meant to allow the BJP government in the state and at the Centre to sidestep provisions of the model code and offer sops to the electorate to swing votes in its favour.
The elections in Gujarat will test the Bharatiya Janata Party's popularity where it ruled for 22 years, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi having served as a three-term chief minister before 2014.
The ruling BJP is locked in a high decibel electoral contest with the Congress, which has sharpened its attacks against the economic policies of the incumbent government.
Chief Election Commissioner AK Joti had earlier defended the delay in announcing the election, saying that multiple factors including weather, flood relief work and festivities were considered in the decision.

our testimonials
I worked with Chris when I decided to set up my business, he helped me to make my dream a reality, we got a methodical plan together and over the months he helped me make a smooth transition from being employed to running my own business. Chris is a very calming influence when you feel like there is a lot of pressure and he works through it with you at your pace.
I have been a consultant for 11 years and very rarely recommend people into my clients as I feel that they may not meet my own high expectations, but I recommended Chris into one of my clients and she has had nothing but praise for him and she was at a real low point in her business…
Chris has the ability to have challenging conversations (at times very challenging) but critically, off the back of building trust between both parties, candour and sharing a desire to work for positive outcomes as an outcome of the relationship. Although emotionally demanding at times, it has helped that based on establishing trust, we can be very direct, open and overcome difficult subject matter and communication. This is key in the quest for both personal and professional development as an individual and for the business I lead. Our engagement has seen Chris help us create an environment where people of different ages, abilities and experience can begin to work together with a clearer methodology, process and measured outcomes…
Having spent many years of my life building business that I had ownership in, I had found myself in a large corporate role and had a burning desire to get back into a more entrepreneurial lifestyle. As a frustrated entrepreneur stuck in a corporate role, I needed someone who had the expertise and right approach to help me re-ignite the passion and spark I had for launching my own venture, whilst managing the challenges of my high-pressure role at the time.
Chris has this. His personal approach, experience of the entrepreneurial world but most importantly his agile and flexible approach was a good fit for me. He's also passionate and focussed, and really invested his energy into me and my business…
In the first three months working with Chris the way I manage my business has completely changed for the better. I think the most important result has been to learn to work ON my business and to gain focus on where I want to get to.
The journey so far has really made me realise that not only can I have an aim to grow but also that I can achieve it. I have gained knowledge, wisdom and focus. I liken you to a fellow Director of my company and having you on board has enabled me to really structure my Digital Agency and also better support associated partnerships.
Investment of any form of business development is something that I don't take lightly. I must say that the journey we are going on is rewarding…
VeloSkin is my first venture into creating a new brand product line and running my own business. Chris became involved in the business shortly after launching and immediately wanted to understand all aspects, including me, why the business started, how it was being operated and what plans the business had both short and longer term. In a very short space of time, Chris focused how I operated, enabling me to get tasks done. He explained the importance of recognising and prioritising key goals that would deliver growth and drive the business forward…
Chris has been a constant support for me both in the business and personally, launching the business has been both rewarding and challenging due to a number of reasons and Chris has always been there to support me with experience and practical guidance…

be astonished to know how I have thriven"

Supreme Court of New Jersey
June 26, 2018
MARY HARZ, Plaintiff-Respondent,v.BOROUGH OF SPRING LAKE, a municipal corporation of the State of New Jersey; and PHILIP KAVANAUGH, Defendants-Appellants.
January 29, 2018
certification to the Superior Court, Appellate Division.
L. LaSalle argued the cause for appellants (Cleary Giacobbe
Alfieri Jacobs, attorneys; Paul L. LaSalle, on the briefs).
J. McLaughlin argued the cause for respondent (McLaughlin,
Stauffer & Shaklee, attorneys; Roger J. McLaughlin on the
brief, and Jeff Thakker, of counsel and on the brief).
J., writing for the Court.
In this
appeal, the Court considers whether a homeowner, who
challenges the issuance of a zoning permit allowing
construction on neighboring property, has a statutory right
to be heard before the Borough's Planning Board, and if
so, whether the violation of that right gives rise to an
action under the New Jersey Civil Rights Act, N.J.S.A. 10:6-1
to -2.
Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL) provisions applicable here,
when viewed in their entirety, clearly indicate that the
board of adjustment (or planning board acting as a board of
adjustment) must conduct a review of an appeal challenging
the issuance of a zoning permit and must render a decision.
That much is clear because (1) an "interested
party" may appeal a decision of a zoning officer to the
board, and the zoning officer must transmit "all the
papers constituting the record" of the appeal to the
board, N.J.S.A. 40:55D-72(a); (2) the board is empowered to
"[h]ear and decide appeals," N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70(a);
and (3) the board must "render a decision" within
120 days, N.J.S.A. 40:55D-73(a)(1).
December 31, 2009, the Borough of Spring Lake's then
zoning officer issued a zoning permit (First Permit) to
Thomas Carter to construct a two-and-a-half-story residence.
Plaintiff Mary Harz owns adjoining residential property and
brought to the attention of the new Borough zoning officer
her concern that Carter's foundation exceeded the height
permitted by the Borough's zoning ordinance.
On June
21, 2010, Harz's attorney forwarded a letter to the
zoning officer appealing the issuance of the zoning permit
and requesting that the zoning officer transmit "the
papers constituting the record" to the Planning Board,
the body responsible for hearing the appeal. Instead, the
zoning officer requested that Carter's engineer and
architect revise the proposed construction plans. The zoning
officer did not issue a stop work order or rescind the zoning
permit, but construction on the project effectively ceased.
When Carter submitted revised plans, the zoning officer
rejected them. On August 3, 2010, the zoning officer approved
a new set of revised plans and issued an amended zoning
permit (Second Permit). The next day, Harz's attorney
forwarded a letter to the zoning officer appealing from the
Second Permit on the ground that Carter's revised plans
still violated the height regulations. This time the zoning
officer transmitted the appeal to the Planning Board, which
scheduled a hearing for the evening of August 11.
On the
day that the hearing was scheduled, the Board's engineer
emailed the Board and the parties an opinion letter stating
that Carter's construction plans were not in full
conformance with the Borough's land-use ordinance. The
Borough attorney cancelled the hearing set for that evening,
and the zoning officer rescinded the amended zoning permit.
The next day, the zoning officer issued a stop work order on
Carter's project. Carter submitted revised construction
plans, and on September 1, 2010, the zoning officer issued
another permit (Third Permit). Harz believed that the revised
plans still violated the Borough's land-use ordinance.
She filed in Monmouth County Superior Court an action seeking
temporary restraints to enjoin the construction project until
Carter applied for appropriate variances before the Planning
Board. The Superior Court granted relief by entering a
temporary restraining order. Harz appealed to the Planning
Board through the zoning officer, challenging the issuance of
the most recent permit.
response to the appeal, the Planning Board conducted a
three-day hearing in October and November. On January 12,
2011, the Planning Board passed a Resolution granting in part
and denying in part Harz's appeal. The Board agreed with
Harz that Carter's plans would have resulted in a
three-story home in violation of the ordinance. Accordingly,
the Board rescinded the Third Permit until Carter satisfied
the conditions set for the construction project. After Carter
met those conditions, the zoning officer issued a final
zoning permit. No appeal was taken from the issuance of that
August 1, 2011, Harz filed a federal and state civil rights
action against defendants Borough and Philip Kavanaugh, the
initial zoning officer. The nub of Harz's complaint is
that she had to expend substantial funds to retain a lawyer
and other professionals in battling the improperly issued
zoning permits. She alleges that but for the stop-work
injunction she secured from the Superior Court, the Borough
would have continued to infringe on her right to have the
Planning Board hear her appeal from the issuance of the
zoning permits.
trial court granted the Borough's and Kavanaugh's
motion for summary judgment and dismissed the complaint. The
Appellate Division affirmed except as to Harz's state
civil rights claim against the Borough, which was remanded
for further proceedings. The Court granted the Borough's
petition for certification. 229 N.J. 591 (2017).
The Borough's zoning officer did not adhere to the
precise statutory procedures for processing Harz's
appeal, and the Court does not take issue with Harz's
claims that the Borough could have responded in a more
efficient way to her objections. In the end, however, Harz
has not established that the Borough denied her the right to
be heard before the Planning Board. She therefore cannot
demonstrate that she was deprived of a substantive right
protected by the Civil Rights Act.
N.J.S.A. 10:6-2(c) provides in part: "Any person who has
been deprived of . . . any substantive rights . . . secured
by the Constitution or laws of this State, . . . by a person
acting under color of law, may bring a civil action."
Although the Civil Rights Act does not define substantive
rights, the Court has recognized that "the term is broad
in its conception," Tumpson v. Farina, 218 N.J.
450, 473 (2014), and has looked to federal jurisprudence
construing 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to formulate a workable
standard for identifying a substantive right under the Civil
Rights Act, id. at 474-77. In doing so, the Court
adopted the three-step test set forth in Blessing v.
Freestone, 520 U.S. 329, 340-41 (1997), id. at
475, 477, which it now refines in light of Gonzaga
University v. Doe, 536 U.S. 273, 283 (2002), for
defining when a statute confers an individual substantive
right. Under the refined three-step test, a court must
determine: (1) whether, by enacting the statute, the
Legislature intended to confer a right on an individual,
Gonzaga, 536 U.S. at 283-84; (2) whether the right
"is not so 'vague and amorphous' that its
enforcement would strain judicial competence,"
Tumpson, 218 N.J. at 475 (quoting Blessing,
520 U.S. at 340-41); and (3) whether the statute
"unambiguously impose[s] a binding obligation on the
[governmental entity]," ibid. In addition to
satisfying those three "factors," for purposes of
the New Jersey Civil Rights Act, plaintiffs must also
"show that the right is substantive, not
procedural." Id. at 478. (pp. 16-22)
2. In
Tumpson, the Court found that the Faulkner Act
conferred on the plaintiffs the substantive right of
referendum -- the right to place a recently enacted ordinance
before the voters for their approval or disapproval. 218 N.J.
at 477-78. Given that the Clerk of the City of Hoboken had
barred plaintiffs' efforts to realize that substantive
right, the only remedy then available was through the court
system. Id. at 478. Therefore, under the Civil
Rights Act, the plaintiffs were entitled to vindicate the
right of referendum. Ibid. (pp. 22-23)
3. The
MLUL clearly conferred on Harz a right to be heard before the
Planning Board on her appeal from the issuance of the zoning
permit to her neighbor. N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70(a), -72(a),
-73(a). The right to a review and decision by the Planning
Board under this statutory scheme is not amorphous but rather
self-evident. Additionally, the MLUL unambiguously imposes a
binding obligation on the Board to provide Harz with the
opportunity to be heard. Last, because an interested
party's right to be heard is inextricably tied to a
party's property rights, the MLUL right to be heard is
substantive, not procedural. (pp. 23-25)
However, the Borough never deprived Harz of her right to
appeal from an adverse decision of the zoning officer or her
right to be heard by the Planning Board. Nothing in the
record suggests that had Harz not filed her action in
Superior Court, the Planning Board would have denied her a
hearing or that the prerogative-writs action was the catalyst
for the hearing. For purposes of the Civil Rights Act, Harz
did not exhaust the statutory process for securing her right
to be heard under the MLUL. This case is unlike
Tumpson, where the plaintiffs had exhausted all
efforts to have the City Clerk validate their referendum.
Harz never reached a dead end in her efforts to be heard, nor
is there any evidence that a direct appeal to the Board would
have been futile. In fact, in response to her appeal, the
Planning Board conducted three days of hearings and ruled, in
large measure, in favor of Harz. (pp. 25-28)
JUSTICE RABNER and JUSTICES LaVECCHIA, PATTERSON,
FERNANDEZ-VINA, SOLOMON, and TIMPONE join in JUSTICE
ALBIN's opinion.
In this
appeal, we must determine whether a homeowner, who challenges
the issuance of a zoning permit allowing construction on
neighboring property, has a statutory right to be heard
before the Borough's Planning Board, and if so, whether
the violation of that right gives rise to an action under the
New Jersey Civil Rights Act, N.J.S.A. 10:6-1 to -2.
Mary Harz filed a lawsuit under the Civil Rights Act against
defendants Borough of Spring Lake and its zoning officer.
Harz claimed that a zoning permit issued to her neighbor for
construction of a residence violated the Borough's
land-use ordinance and that, when she appealed, she was
denied her right to be heard before the Planning Board -- a
right required by provisions of the Municipal Land Use Law
(MLUL).[1]See N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70; -72(a). In her
lawsuit, she contends that the denial of that statutory right
contravened a substantive right protected by the Civil Rights
Act, entitling her to relief.
trial court granted defendants' motion for summary
judgment and dismissed Harz's civil rights claim. The
Appellate Division reversed, concluding that the Borough
violated a substantive right -- Harz's statutory right of
"obtaining a board's review of an alleged zoning
on the summary judgment record, we cannot conclude that the
Borough denied Harz a substantive right cognizable under the
Civil Rights Act. The record does not support a finding that
the Borough blocked Harz from eventually securing a timely
review by the Planning Board. More specifically, Harz did not
exhaust the administrative means available under the MLUL to
have her objections heard by the Board.
the Borough's zoning officer did not adhere to the
precise statutory procedures for processing Harz's
appeal, that deviation ultimately did not infringe on
Harz's right to have her objections reviewed by the
Board. Further, Harz cannot show that her success in securing
a Superior Court order imposing temporary restraints on her
neighbor's construction was the catalyst for the Board
providing her a three-day hearing. The Planning Board
scheduled that hearing after Harz filed an appeal in the
ordinary course under the MLUL.
We do
not take issue with Harz's claims that the Borough could
have responded in a more efficient way to her objections. In
the end, however, Harz has not established that the Borough
denied her the right to be heard before the Planning Board.
She therefore cannot demonstrate that she was deprived of a
substantive right protected by the Civil Rights Act.
we reverse the judgment of the Appellate Division and dismiss
Harz's civil rights claim.
understand the facts presented and issues raised in this
case, we begin with a brief primer on the relevant MLUL
provisions governing this case.
MLUL was "designed to reform the procedures for the
planning and regulation of land uses." L. 1975, c. 291;
Governor's Statement to S. 3054 (Jan. 14, 1976).
Important for our purposes is the process set forth in the
MLUL for appealing from decisions of administrative officers,
such as a zoning officer. Typically, a zoning officer must
issue a zoning permit before a construction official can
issue a permit to an applicant seeking to build on a lot.

Use Administration (Cox & Koenig) § 2.8 at 16
