What do we understand by Intangible Assets?
Intangible assets are all those elements that contribute to the development and proper functioning of a company without the existence of a physic element that supports it.
Elements that are capable of creating future income, that determine the economic entry for other competitors and improve the company's financial return.
All companies should be capable to determine its Intangible Assets economic value, whether it's as a whole or separately.
We could say that Intangible Assets are made of:
- Marketing Intangibles: Trademarks, Trade Names, Copyrights, Internet Domains, Commercial Know-How…
- Manufacturing Intangibles: Patents, Utility Models, Industrial Designs, Technical Non-disclosed Know-How, Commercial Secrets, Inventions, Formulas, Manufacturing Processes, Industrial Copyright…
- Mixed Intangibles: the Company's Reputation, Business Models….
Do the Intangible Assets have any value?
Of course, sometimes, it's equal or even greater than the value of tangible assets, although, it's frequent that these types of assets are not valued.
This results from various causes including the complexity concerning valuation, the absence of clearly defined legal frameworks, as well as the fact that this valuation is voluntary and even that sometimes the company doesn't even know it has a valuable intangible asset for the company's activity.
How do we value Intangible Assets or one of its elements?
Normally, the valuation is a fusion between the economic concept of value and the juridical concept of property. Intangible assets can be measured as a whole, but it's always advisable to have an individual valuation of each asset in case we have to make a transaction with it.
There are three reasonable methods to valuate assets:
- Based in the market, they are directly related with what has been obtained in a previous transaction of that same asset or from similar ones.
- Based on the cost, like the "creating cost" or "substitution cost" of a specific asset, they derive from the principle that there's an existing relation between cost and value.
- Methods that result from an estimation of economic benefits (also called income methods).
Which industrial and intellectual method for asset valuation do we use at 'Herrero & Asociados'?
At HERRERO & ASOCIADOS we are aware that each and every method proposed is limited, so we have created our own valuation method, respecting and following international standards established in the UNE 166008:2012 regulation.

Summer Wanderlust
"A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving." – Lao Tzu
"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends." – Maya Angelou
Two great quotes from two great teachers. I happened upon them online as I was thinking about what subject to write about today. The best place for me to start any creative writing venture, where the choice of content is solely up to me, is to start from where I am. Today, I am in the mindset of my upcoming travels now that the summer season is upon us. Oh how juicy it is!
I think Lao Tzu was definitely onto something when he coined the above quote. If I am in the present moment and not the upcoming moment, no matter how highly anticipated it might be, I am free. Isn't freedom a big part of why we feel the need to escape our daily routines when summer hits, and go find ourselves anew, preferably in completely different environments than our own? To really free your mind when embarking on a summer get away, you must detach from any set expectations of what your adventure will turn out to be. I've had so many wonderful experiences traveling far and wide when I let go of my expectations of how the trip would turn out. Surrender to the path ahead of you, make basic plans: book travel tickets and accommodations (or not) and then let go and enjoy the journey.
Maya Angelou's words gives us pause and remind us of another great result from summer's wanderlust: by meeting people from foreign lands on their soil, we very often get a clearer sense of who we ultimately are, with all of our basic needs & our complexities, and how closely knit our human race actually is. I am not that different from a woman in Beijing or Cusco. How might this realization broaden my thinking into a more expansive and inclusive perspective of the world and all of its inhabitants.
As for my summer wanderlust plans, Canada is calling, where I'll be happily ensconced with my guy. Juicy indeed.

Surrealism and Pop Culture High Brow/Low Brow →
Where does it emanate from and what does it all mean? As an Artist and designer I create to inspire and just to see what I can do. I created a book called Cosmic Beauty using Film Images and Studio photographs and then degrading imagery that were high quality photographs by transferring to my iphone and painting on apps, that I found to be exciting, sometimes I would work for hours just redoing the imagery and then I would further deconstruct by collaging and reworking in photoshop. The layers would add new meaning t my work. I called my art POP Surrealism. The Colors and Textures and 3 D Process Popped and added an ethereal and at the same time surreal quality to my work.
There was an art movement created called low brow art or pop surrealism; I have a hard time putting names to art. I think it fits perfectly in it's own way.
The term "Pop Surrealism" was coined by The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum for its 1998 exhibit of the same name. An exhibit of some of my favorite
artists. Gregory Crewdson, Cindy Sherman, Mariko Mori, etc. I am not implying to be in company of this art, but to be inspired by the movement. For lack of what to call my work I thought I coined the phrase. I am influenced by the Surreal quality of imagination that allows freedom of the mind. The colors in my work adding a dimension and 3D push. Water elements are always present in my art.
The New York Times said the exhibit was like water and oil. I like that. From the depth and the shallows. The subconscious and the pop culture can co-exist.
The Power Of The Female Gaze →
The Power of the Female Gaze
Hypnotic and bewildering, a sideward glance that is both furtively powerful and discreet. How can that be? I recently watched the documentary on Princess Diana - "Diana: In Her Own Words", on The National Geographic Channel - and was reminded of the power of "The Gaze"
Diana was grand and beautiful, but she held a shy sideward gaze that captivated a Prince, A World of Humanity, and The Heart of People. She had you from the start. From the first shy glance. It held mystery, and allure, and promise of a hidden compassion that dwelled beneath. As a photographer, I am always interested in the gaze of my subjects. It reflects a moment of realness. A moment where my subject is at home. One where we meet and separate at the same time. It is the women that I photograph that have an unusual reaction-or look as we say. I have cast and photographed thousand of models for worldwide commercials and print campaigns and they are so use to being sexy in front of the camera when a man is photographing them. When I photograph them, I find that they are more natural and carefree laughing and flirting with the camera itself or imagining who will one day be viewing this image. I take a beat, until I get the reaction I need. The shift of power from photographer to subject changes rapidly. It's a constant flux. The sexy vibe is there…different. Very different then say, a pose of a model from a shoot with Helmut Newton, Nan Golden, Cindy Sherman, Mario Testino, Bruce Weber, Ellen Von Unworth, Lillian Bassman, Louise Dahl-Wolf (Of course these are exceptional photographers with exceptionally noticeable styles). However it made me think of the intent and the editing of my captures. More importantly it makes me think of The power of the female Gaze.
Our society is so obsessed with photography- no secret..just take a look around. Sexy images abound..however not all are truly sexy in the real sense. Some just fake it. I've come to realize that just as I am looking for truth in Art and Beauty..The Beauty of The Female Gaze and power is just that..you can't fake it. A photo may only capture a portion of truth..but the fragment of true is in the moment.
That Gaze that started it all

Author Spotlight: Katharine Johnson
Posted on May 10, 2019 inAuthor Spotlight
Today is publication day for her newest novel The Suspects, and today I bring you an author spotlight for Katharine Johnson:
Katharine Johnson was born in Bristol and now lives in Berkshire. She's worked as a journalist on lots of magazines and has written a history book about Windsor. When not writing you'll usually find her with a book in one hand and a coffee in the other, restoring a house in Italy, walking her spaniel or playing netball (although not usually at the same time.)
Katharine's New Novel:
Publication Day: Today, May 10, 2019
Publisher: Crooked Cat Books
316 Pages
Shallow Grave meets The Secret History in this quirky psychological thriller
Bristol, 1988. Five young graduates on the threshold of their careers buy a house together in order to get a foot on the property ladder before prices spiral out of their reach. But it soon becomes the house share from hell.
After their New Year's Eve party, they discover a body – and it's clear they'll be the first suspects. As each of them has a good reason from their past not to trust the police, they come up with a solution – one which forces them into a life of secrets and lies. But can they trust each other?
Purchase The Suspects NOW.
A short Q&A with Katharine:
Why did you write The Suspects?
I love stories that involve a small group of people in a claustrophobic situation. The shared house gives my characters something they're desperate to hold onto but that also traps them. They're thrown together as almost strangers but suddenly have to depend on each other to stay ahead of the police – but they're also increasingly worried about the enemy within. When it comes down to it, will they stick together as they've promised, or save themselves?
When did you start writing?
I've always enjoyed making up stories and wrote my first book aged nine. I've made a living out of writing as a journalist but I came back to writing fiction around ten years ago when my three children were all at school and I had a bit more time. I wrote some stories for magazines, got lots of rejections, wrote some more, got a few published and then I enrolled on a creative writing course and finally decided to have a go at writing a novel I'd been planning to write for years.
What do you find the hardest aspect of writing a novel?
I love the early bit – getting the ideas, seeing where the plot goes. I like the early revision too but going over the final manuscript is hard because I always see things I want to change and it's so hard to spot your own silly mistakes.
What do you enjoy most about writing?
Getting into the heads of different characters as they try and think their way out of a situation.
What do you like least about writing?
There aren't enough hours in the day to keep on top of all the marketing and promotion while trying to write your next book. It all seems to take me much longer than everyone else!
What's the best advice you've had about writing?
Keep going until the end of the first draft – it might be terrible but no one's going to see it. Then when you've got to the end and have the whole picture you can worry about fixing things, putting in foreshadowing, hooks etc.
What are you reading at the moment?
I've just finished Our House by Louise Candlish – it's so brilliant I want to start all over again!

Author Spotlight: Taylor Saville
Posted on September 23, 2018 inAuthor Spotlight, Review
Today we are bringing you an Author Spotlight for Taylor Saville! We have all kinds of goodies for you today: Information on Taylor and her novel Jagged Mind, which also includes Kim's review. As a bonus, Taylor is being awesome enough to do a giveaway of not one, but THREE novels and more (US Only). Come on and get to know Taylor and her work:
Taylor Saville is the author of Jagged Mind, and while it is not her first novel, it is the first novel she chose to publish. Her husband, Jeffrey Smith, or Ascending Storm, is a professional artist and designs all of her book covers. She has a new title planned to be released this Fall, and a fantasy trilogy that is well under way. She is also currently writing three new novels simultaneously, so expect many more titles in the future! She will be an author to look out for!
"Jagged Mind took years to bring to life. I'm elated for people to experience the story that took so much out of me to create. This novel is also complete with eleven full-page, interior illustrations."
Jagged Mind:
Is there any true deliverance for the depraved? Does love change people? These questions surround the life of Harper Nolan. The foul-mouthed, chain-smoking, self-destructive lead singer of the metal band known as Jagged Mind. Locked in a cycle of self-mutilation, violence, and alcohol abuse, the threads of his life slowly begin to unravel, much to the unease of his more levelheaded bandmates. Though right when his world is ready to collapse entirely from beneath his feet, he falls harder than he ever could have imagined for the naive, sheltered girl who changes everything. He believes her love can save him, when in reality, she is merely the flame which detonates the bomb, sending their lives spiraling into a nightmare too intense to fathom. A nightmare which leaves him convinced he must end his own life. Though to his horror… life refuses to let him go.

Reviewed by: Kim
Kim's rating: 4.5 stars
Kim's Review:
So, add another book to the list of "books that made Kim ugly cry." Taylor was so kind in giving me a free e-book copy and I'm gonna give the most glowing endorsement a booknerd can possibly give: I bought a physical copy off of Amazon. That's right! On top of the free e-book copy, I ordered a physical copy because I want it tangibly sitting on my shelf. Before I even start talking about the story, I want to mention the brilliant illustrations that are included in this book. Taylor's husband, Jeff, is a professional artist and he created several gorgeous pictures to go along with the story. Once my copy arrived, first thing I did was flip through the book looking for all the artwork. They are amazing and enhanced my reading.
Now, the story . . . fair warning, Taylor is a soul torturer. To be honest, when I first started reading, I was expecting to hate Harper and sludge through another cliché love story of good girl falls for bad boy and she helps him discover the teddy bear within. Nope! The story is a roller coaster of emotions and feelings and tragedy and happiness and love and hate and disgust and stomach-churning and hope and I didn't think my heart could take anymore, and that was barely half way through! I do not remember the last time I connected so emotionally to a character like I did with Harper. Every single thing that he went through, that happened to him, that he did, I took personally. There were times when I was literally sick to my stomach because of the things Harper did and participated in. As the darkness inside him got darker and bleaker and deeper, I wanted to jump into the story and beat him and hug him all at the same time. Hope and despair go hand in hand throughout the entire book! I'm pretty sure I developed an anxiety disorder while reading Jagged Mind, in all the best and worst ways! I wish I could accurately describe just how much this book made me feel. And y'all know that I'm a relatively shallow person so that's a pretty big deal! When I finished the last page, I just sat and cried. My heart broke so completely and it felt so good and so bad simultaneously.
I identified with Emmaline. She and I are the sheltered chicks thrown into a crazy world and I appreciated her realism. There were times that she frustrated me because she was so cautious and reserved with Harper, when my "happily ever after" brain just wanted them to fall in love and everything to work out perfectly, and sometimes it just felt like she was leading him on and it really bugs me when girls do that. The other members of the band were just as turbulent in my mind. Gray, Harper's best friend and the band's bassist, alternated between love and hate for me. But I absolutely loved the banter between all the guys. It cracked me up! Indeed, I did laugh out loud several times when the band got together and joked and mocked together. I just became so invested in the characters and I find myself missing them, now that I've finished the book. Even the secondary characters that have very small parts in the plot were so real and so genuine that I've already asked Taylor to write another book to tell the story of one of them. Ok, two of them! ?
The reason I gave Jagged Mind 4.5 stars instead of a full 5 stars is relatively minor, once I got used to it. Taylor gets so deep into the minds of all the characters that sometimes the distinction between everyone gets a little murky. One minute, you're in Harper's head, contemplating his deep-seated self-hate, then the next sentence, you're in Rence's head, pondering the future of the band. And the easiest way to fix it would be the pronouns, but even those got confusing. Once I figured it out, I was able to easily think my way through it, but it did get a bit distracting at times. However, I definitely wouldn't trade the window into everyone's thoughts for all the clear pronouns in the world, so overall, it worked out well.
I'm going to include the message I sent to Taylor as soon as I finished the book so hopefully I can convey just how much this book meant to me:
"I'm not sure what to say …
Thank you for sharing your book with me. I usually rate books by the emotions they illicit and I gauge my emotions by their physical manifestations. I'm in tears, Taylor. I had to blink to clear my eyes so I could even finish the last 2 pages. Once I closed the book, I sobbed. Very few books have brought out that kind of reaction, and your book is one of them. I don't want to say that Jagged Mind is "awesome" or "amazing" because they're too shallow and they don't do it justice. I don't know what word to use yet … you're a writer, give me a word! All I can say is that I love your book and I plan on keeping it on my shelf for the rest of my life and I plan on rereading many times."
I hope that, in some way, channels a few of the feelings that I had to endure while reading Jagged Mind. I absolutely recommend this book, definitely not to teens, but to anyone looking for a deep, poignant, disturbing, moving read.

Neptune's Daughter
274 Pages
Sarah Bennett doesn't remember the night her mother tumbled down the stairs at Bennett House, despite allegedly witnessing the fatal fall. There was talk of foul play, dark whispers, and sidelong glances, all aimed at Sarah, prompting her family to send her to The Laurels, an exclusive asylum in San Francisco, under a cloud of suspicion. Now, on the one-year anniversary of her mother's murder, Sarah has been summoned home. Convinced of her innocence, she returns to Bennett House, hoping to put the broken pieces of her life back together. But when another murder occurs shortly after her arrival, Sarah once again finds herself a suspect, as she is drawn into a web of suspicion and lies. In order to clear her name, Sarah must remember what happened the fateful night her mother died. But as she works to regain her memory, the real murderer watches, ready to kill again to protect a dark family secret.
252 Pages
San Francisco, March 1943 – Sarah Bennett harbors two secrets: She sees ghosts, and she's in love with a spy. When Sarah takes a job with occult expert Dr. Matthew Geisler, he promises to help her understand the sorrowful spirit that seems to have attached itself to her—a spirit whose incessant weeping only she can hear. Meanwhile, as Sarah struggles to cope with the relentless weeping, she comes face to face with Zeke, the man who left her six months earlier and is ostensibly convalescing from injuries suffered in an alleged accident. But Zeke has secrets of his own, and Sarah's love and trust are soon put to the test. Things take an even darker turn when an attempt is made on Geisler's life, and Sarah finds herself caught in a struggle between the living and the dead. Unsure who she can trust, she must unlock the mystery of the weeping ghost in order to save Dr. Geisler—and herself—from an unknown enemy.
267 Pages
Zeke's sister-in-law, Rachel Winslow Caen, was despondent over her inability to carry a child to term, so when her body was found on Christmas Eve, 1937 drowned, her family assumed she took her own life. Now, five years later, one of the emeralds that Rachel was wearing at the time of her death has turned up at a stonecutter's in Portland, Oregon. Zeke's brother, Simon, who has paid off his gambling debts with funds from an unknown source, is under suspicion of murdering Rachel and taking the emeralds. The town gossips are certain that Simon's family will influence the investigation and that Simon will get away with murder.
With troubles of their own and in need of a place to hide, Sarah and Zeke return to Zeke's hometown and set out to clear Simon's name. Things take a sinister turn when Rachel Caen's ghost leads Sarah to another emerald, hidden away in the Caen house. Did one of Zeke's family members murder Rachel? Who can Sarah trust? Sarah and Zeke pit their wits against a cunning killer who will stop at nothing to thwart them, and discover just how far someone will go for the love of family and tradition.
Set in California in 1943, Neptune's Daughter is a taut mystery told in the style of Mary Stewart, Dorothy Eden, and Victoria Holt, and is a poignant reminder of civilian life on the home front during the Second World War.

Ninetales legend
| The picture used in this article is unsatisfactory.
Reason: text in bottom left corner
Please feel free to replace it so it conforms to Bulbapedia conventions.
The Curse of Ninetales is a 1000 year old legend told by Whiscash in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. According to this legend, a greedy Trainer once entered a sacred dungeon, known to contain many rare Pokémon. The trainer encountered a Ninetales and crudely grabbed one of its tails. The trainer was supposed to receive a curse as a result of this action, but his Gardevoir took the curse, doing its duty as a Gardevoir by protecting its master. This startled the Ninetales. The trainer, horrified, fled the scene in fear of the curse. Ninetales told Gardevoir that the trainer would one day become a Pokémon. This would bring on many natural disasters.
- There once lived a Pokémon by the name of Ninetales.
- Now, Ninetales had many tails, all of them imbued with psychic power...
- It was said that anyone so foolish as to touch a tail would be cursed for a thousand years.
- But there was someone so foolish as to grab a tail. And it was a human.
- As one might expect, the human that grabbed the tail was subjected to a thousand-year curse.
- However, just as the curse was cast, a Pokémon named Gardevoir shielded the human...
- And sacrificed herself to absorb the curse.
- Taking pity on Gardevoir, Ninetales asked the human this...
- "Do you wish to save Gardevoir?" It asked...
- But the human had already abandoned Gardevoir and fled.
- Ninetales became disillusioned with the human...
- And it made this prediction...
- "That human will one day be reborn as a Pokémon..."
- "And when the human becomes a Pokémon..."
- "The world's balance will be upset..."
Gengar, eavesdropping on the player's conversation with Xatu, told the public that the player was that trainer, and they were causing the natural disasters. The public was shocked, and chased the player and their companion out of town. However, Ninetales then told that the player (and Team A.C.T.) was definitely NOT the cursed trainer. Gengar was exposed as a liar, and was then chased out of town himself.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
In the epilogue, it is revealed that Gengar is the greedy trainer of the legend.

Gray: FC cannot review M21-1 revision to "inland waterways" definition/
Gray v. Secy of Veterans Affairs, 875 F.3d 1102 (Fed. Cir. Nov. 16, 2017)
HELD: The Federal Circuit lacks jurisdiction to review VA's policy manual revisions that exclude Navy personnel who served outside the "inland waterways" – including ports, harbors, and open-water bays – because the M21-1 policy manual is merely "guidance to VA adjudicators" and "lacks the force and effect of law."
SUMMARY: Robert Gray is a Blue Water Navy veteran who challenged VA's exclusion of Da Nang Harbor from its definition of "inland waterways" for purposes of presumptive service connection for conditions related to herbicide (Agent Orange) exposure. The Veterans Court concluded that VA's definition was "both inconsistent with the regulatory purpose and irrational," and remanded for VA to "reevaluate its definition of 'inland waterway' to be consistent with [38 C.F.R.] § 3.307(a)(6)(iii)," the regulation governing the presumption of herbicide exposure.
Instead of amending the regulation – which would have required notice-and-comment rulemaking – VA amended its M21-1 policy manual with language that continued "to exclude all Navy personnel who served … in [Vietnam's] ports, harbors, and open waters [] from presumptive service connection for diseases or illnesses connected with exposure to Agent Orange."
Mr. Gray challenged the amendment to VA's policy under 38 U.S.C. § 502, which governs judicial review of rules and regulations. This statute limits the Federal Circuit's jurisdiction to agency actions that are subject to two provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act – 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(1) and § 553. The question in this appeal is whether the revision to the M21-1 falls under § 552(a)(1). The Federal Circuit held that it did not.
This provision covers agency actions that are published in the Federal Register and are "substantive rules of general applicability as authorized by law, and statements of general policy or interpretations of general applicability formulated and adopted by the agency." In other words – notice-and-comment rulemaking. The Federal Circuit stated that there are three factors to consider in assessing "whether an agency action constitutes substantive rulemaking … (1) the [a]gency's own characteristics of the action; (2) whether the action was published in the Federal Register or the Code of Federal Regulations; and (3) whether the action has binding effects on private parties or on the agency." (quoting Disabled Am. Veterans v. Sec'y of Veterans Affairs, 859 F.3d 1072, 1077 (Fed. Cir. 2017).
The Court found that the M21-1 is meant to guide VA adjudicators, but "is not intended to establish substantive rules." The Court noted that the Board is not bound by the M21-1 – and thus "where the action is not binding on private parties or the agency itself, we have no jurisdiction to review it."
The Court found that Mr. Gray – and his fellow Blue Water Navy Veterans – still had other options to pursue. First, if they are "adversely affected by a M21-1" provision, they can challenge that provision on direct appeal. Second, they can petition VA for rulemaking. (Mr. Gray pointed out that both options were currently pending.) The Court recognized that it would likely take years for "individual adjudications or petitions for rulemaking" to run their course. Unfortunately, the sad reality of this situation does not change the Federal Circuit's jurisdiction.
In a partial dissent, Judge Dyk argued that DAV was wrongly decided and that it unnecessarily narrows the Court's jurisdiction. In Judge Dyk's view, the "relevant question for jurisdictional purposes … is whether the Manual revisions here are properly characterized as 'statements of general policy or interpretations of general applicability." If so, the Federal Circuit would have jurisdiction to review the challenge. The problem with DAV (and, now, the majority opinion in this case), is that it essentially enables VA to evade judicial review by simply not publishing the revision in the Federal Register.

"I'm calling to confess to a killing."
Those are the first words in a disturbing call placed by 16-year-old Rylan Salzman to a 911 operator in Tacoma, Washington last Tuesday, according to KIRO
Salzman then tells the operator that he killed his father, Richard, by beating him over the head with a cane.
The operator asks where Salzman's body is.
"He's outside in a container of sorts," Salzman said.
Police later unearthed the body of Salzman's father in a wooden compost box in the family's backyard, KIRO reports.
Throughout the call, which can be heard above, Salzman is calm and collected.
Salzman claimed to the operator that the killing was not premeditated. But he said that he and his dad had been drinking when they got into an argument and his father shoved him.
"I said something to him and told him to stop, he shoved me and I had a cane in my hand at the time," Salzman said. "It wasn't premeditated or anything but I had been drinking and I just started swinging. We had a conflicted childhood past. It was sort of a tipping point."
He tells the operator he waited five days before confessing because he wanted to spend more time with his mom and sister. But after his mother wanted to hire a search party to find her husband, Salzman told her about the killing.
"This is a strange case of patricide," prosecutor Mark Lindquist said, according to KOMO. "The motives are still being investigated."
Salzman is charged with second-degree murder as an adult. He pleaded not guilty at a preliminary hearing on Friday.

Late Autumn | By Collecting myself, I Found Tranquility.
It goes without saying that there is nothing more unchanging than change. The same idea did reflect on my ever-changing life. Evolutions and alterations are always happening. Do you feel the same way as I do?
I always know that there is a deep and profound curiosity lies at the heart of my spiritual impulse. It triggers me to travel and explore the world ceaselessly. With every journey of explorations, I am able to capture breathtaking views and enrich my inner self.
Throwback 2018, there were so many wonderful places that I have been to. For example, New York, twice. One was a refreshing treat for myself and the other was an invitation to a Cirque du Soleil premiere. Iceland, I remembered that I was soaking in the amazing Blue Lagoon and taking the boat trying to meet with divinely aurora. Vienna, a visit to a premium piano brand "Bosendorfer" factory. Taiwan, a great performance of mine was held there. And so many other places like Dublin and the Cliffs of Moher in West Ireland, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec, Amsterdam...
I guess traveling on my own has become another expertise of mine. A scenario of my curiosity travels faster than my mind would be like: Open the Google map, and feel like going somewhere. Next up, with no special intention, the trip is booked! True story. By traveling alone, I can enjoy the fruity freedom, however, it is never an easy task. Instead of calling it "traveling", I would rather regard it as a "training for life."
With regards to my inner journey: After I turned 35, I found myself addicted to perfectionism. My self-discipline rendered me to take personal training lessons and control my diet consciously. In addition, in order to elevate my career, for the first time, I tried to be a businesswoman by recruiting a team, re-designing my blog, and started learning photography. Last but not least, I never stop composing music.
Deep down in my soul, there are cravings for elevation and changes, in order to respond the callings, I try my best to bring out all the gifted talents and make everything pitch perfect. However, since these changes require lots of energy, at times I forget to take a break from the great sense of achievements. Therefore, in this chilly autumn, my tiredness and all the accumulated tenses just completely broke out. In this case, I had no choice but to slow down my pace and thoughts. Sometimes I tidied up the house casually, and sometimes I would just be a couch potato or admire the peaceful scenery from my floor windows. After all of this, I learned how to listen carefully to the needs of the body, and avoid overloading my body and mind.
Late autumn is always the best season to slow down our paces and collect ourselves again. The chilly air will cool down all the burning desire, and the dark nights will clear up our miscellaneous thoughts.
It is time to slow down, face the callings of your body, and walk yourself through all the achievements of the year. In this late autumn, I truly wish everyone to find an inner-tranquility, just like refreshing yourself after a sweaty yoga.
深秋 |沈澱
回顧這一年,外在的旅程:紐約兩次(一次去散心、另一次受太陽劇團邀請,觀賞新戲首映)、冰島泡藍湖溫泉看極光、維也納參觀 Bosendorfer 鋼琴工廠、回台灣表演、都柏林與愛爾蘭西部莫赫斷崖、多倫多、渥太華、魁北克、阿姆斯特丹。一個人旅遊已成為我的另一項專長,常常打開地圖,突然有感覺想去哪,也不知道為什麼要去,但下一秒就訂機票了 😉 真的,靈魂總是跑得比大腦快!一個人旅遊是很自由,但可一點也不輕鬆,與其說它是旅遊,我會說它是種..人生的鍛鍊。
你是不是也該慢下來傾聽身體的需要?沈澱一年下來的累積呢?願深秋帶給你的,是做完瑜珈後的大休息 🙂

Are You Berating and Neglecting Your Body....God's Holy Temple?
by Alia Fisher
Our bodies are God's gift to us…..and sadly Satan's stomping ground. The enemy knows how to distort and destroy this gift very well. Our bodies house the very spirit of God and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Even Jesus did not object to Mary's loving gesture to honor his body with the nard perfume! Being that our bodies are God's holy temple, they should be a place of peace and reverence. Yet Satan throws various weapons of war into our inner sanctuaries to distort and destroy God's dwelling. All these weapons begin in our thoughts, so we need to become aware and choose a new approach!
1) We are not happy with how we look…can lead to all kinds of punishment (mental berating, extreme diets, harsh exercise routines, or on the other end, neglecting our health by being sedentary and overeating).
2) We are frustrated with our bodies for not fulfilling some other area of desire (such as living with a disability, or those who have severe or frequent illness or injuries, living with unwanted anxiety symptoms, not being able to use it in ways we want to use it).
The enemy thrives on gradually transforming our minds and poisoning our attitudes! He is slowly destroying what God would want us to nurture and care for. Furthermore, these thoughts can become all-consuming and we slowly lose sight of God. We need to be alert and start aligning with God by loving our bodies. When we embrace the wrong attitude about our bodies, we are actually giving Satan power. When we intentionally decide to stop indulging the thoughts, we find freedom and in some mysterious way, we hand God the power and invite victory.
Romans 12:1 – Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship.
Today let's try nurturing our bodies as precious gifts, the way we would nurture a newborn baby's body. Let's try lovingly accepting our bodies for how they look even if they never change, and stop pinching our waistlines and dwelling on the negatives. Let's start eating healthy foods not for weight loss but because it's the best way to nourish our holy temples. Likewise, let's start exercising not to fit into a smaller size outfit but because it's one of the best ways to care for this bodily gift He has given us. Furthermore, the more we nurture and care for our bodies, the more energy we'll have to fulfill His purposes for us. Moreover, nurturing our bodies is a form of worship and honoring Him by taking the best possible care of these precious temples He has given us. So be sure to capture your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors this week regarding your body to ensure you're accepting, loving, and caring for it as Christ would have you do.

The Maryland Model
For a progressive journal and blog, the Washington Monthly has had a pretty shitty record on higher ed issues of late. They jump on every available corporate bandwagon and boondoggle to rant about the "failures" of higher ed in America. Luckily, if we all just become the University of Phoenix (whose 6-year grad rate for on-line degrees is 4%!), students will magically get better education for the cost of a couple of Big Macs.
Their most recent effort is better, but consider me skeptical that Maryland provides a reform model for the rest of the nation. The basic idea is that the MD public university system agreed to undergo large scale efficiency reforms under a GOP governor who also slashed state funding and allowed big tuition increases to cover the difference. That made higher ed a salient enough issue in gubernatorial politics that the next gov, a Dem, could impose a tuition freeze while massively boosting state support. So MD got the best of all worlds: cost controls, greater efficiency, better service (from profs), and increased public sector funding. Quite a bank shot. The political stars align so that elephants and donkeys compete to accomplish the right thing while advocating opposite things. Is that really replicable?
More worrisome from ground zero in TN is that none of the supposed inefficiencies in the MD system actually seem to apply to us. Profs at comprehensive unis had to go from teaching 7 courses a year to 7.5 (I, not atypically for here, have taught 9 every year). They're also expected to be on campus five days a week rather than just two. Once again, I appear to be well ahead of the curve. The budget cuts in play are also quite different: $40 million in the entire MD system vs a projected $25-30 million/year for my school alone. This after years of lean. My department, like most others, has already given up almost all of its travel budget, release time, and discretionary funds. Something like 95% of our departmental budget is faculty pay, wages which are moderately low compared to peer institutions and have not increased in a couple of years (nor will they for at least a few more). Meanwhile, despite our size, we've never really trafficked in the huge freshman lecture courses that MD has replaced with on-line and undergrad-led courses. When making draconian cuts in preparation for the expiration of stimulus funds, we'll have little choice but to fire untenured faculty, decrease course availability, and boost class sizes, though, unlike MD, we don't actually have existing classroom space to do so.
I'd like to blame our sorry-ass Dem governor for this mess, but it is a national problem to which no one (save MD) seems to be responding well. I am curious, however, as to the view on the ground up at College Park. If only I knew someone up there.

On the Parenting Kick
While I'm on the parenting kick . . . let me just say that this is . . . I'm trying to find a family-friendly way to say it . . . the WORST thing I've ever read on the Intertubes. Surprise, it was on Slate!
So this guy doesn't like Eric Carle. For the non-parents out there, that's a bit like dissing Dr. Seuss. Carle has a much bigger posse than some Slate d-bag . . . and the best part is that d-bag's wife, who teaches youth reading, disagrees with him, and . . . he persists in his d-baggery.
"Um, I really don't know very much, and, um, I pretty much disagree with almost everyone, but, I hate some of the most loved children's books . . . ."
I just add: "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?"
Brown Bear: "I see a d-bag looking at me. But don't worry, I mauled his hipster contrarian ass. I think he's dead."

GFW Channels Brooks, Lameness Ensues
Seriously, does George F. Will even effin' care any more? My guess is no. If you read his column this morning, which had something to do with how angry liberals are about speed "humps" and how that shows that . . . liberalism is a failure. OK. And he mocks liberals for liking "heirloom tomatoes," TWICE in the same column.
I guess Will decided to be like Brooks, visit Whole Foods, and write about his sociological observations. But he doesn't need to observe new events to know what he's known since the Ford administration, at least. So yet another GFW FAIL. Or GFWF.

For Whom Nobel Tolls
It tolls for thee. (America, F*@ Yeah!)
Didn't see this one coming. Guess no one else did either. Not much original to say here. I had a number of spontaneous, pre-commentariat reactions all of which were covered in the commentariat reactions: really?!?; ok, cool; isn't this a little premature? oh, I get it, this is a "thank you for saving the world from George W. McCain"; hmmm. . . maybe it's deserved after all. What's most disconcerting is that Obama hasn't really had to suffer--in either chains, obscurity, or anticipation--for the prize. Just a normal day in the Obama household. "Good morning daddy, you won the Nobel Peace Prize, and it's our dog's birthday." Who lives that life?
Then again, despite what the press tells us, his early accomplishments are pretty damned impressive: saved world capitalism, funded record investment in infrastructure and the environment, and restored rule of law in the world's most powerful nation by ending torture, secret prisons, and a lawless Justice Dept. He has done more to discredit global jihadist terror in just nine months than anyone alive. He has engaged friend and foe in diplomacy and renounced preemptive war. And, if you consider health care a human rights issue, he's on the verge of signing landmark legislation to extend and improve care to tens of millions. Not bad, even if we're not out of the woods on any of these issues. Rush said today that the world sees Obama as a "joke." True. On Rush.

I'm Coming Up for Air
Soon. It has been a long month since I last posted. Nothing bad, just a lot going on, from APSA, to the beginning of the semester, to F getting sick, and on and on. Oh, also a major project at work.
Plus, I have grown weary of politics. The 'debate' today is so stupid that I feel that it, literally, a waste of time. I have been reading, even some good things.

Recently I have been dedicating a lot of my content to the way Interim and Contract experts are perceived and managed. Whіlе аn interim expert саn bring уоu аll оf thе benefit thаt уоur business requires tо grow аnd stay healthy, it іѕ аlѕо important уоu change thе wау уоu treat уоur interim experts.
Some of my previous blogs on this subject can be read here. Now, although thеrе аrе а number оf unique advantages tо working іn а firm, however, it is worth nothing that firms аlѕо enjoy greater loyalty frоm staff members whо аrе motivated tо build uр thе reputation оf thе brand name. An interim expert саn add tremendous vаluе tо а business bу providing skills аnd experience nоt аvаіlаblе in-house.
In addition, thеу саn provide formal аnd informal coaching аnd training іn external, professional business practices. Aѕ thеіr role іn thе business іѕ оf а temporary, transient nature, thе interim іѕ lеѕѕ оf а threat tо thе progress оf уоur company аgаіnѕt оthеrѕ whо wоuld nоrmаllу feel threatened bу thеіr qualifications аnd broader experience, which provides a lot more productivity, creativity and growth than the expected costs.
A reluctance tо bring іn outsiders, ѕuсh аѕ non-executive directors іn larger firms, саn hamper thе uѕе оf external knowledge аnd lead tо weakness іn corporate governance. An interim expert whо hаѕ experience оf hоw larger, publicly owned organisations operate – аnd ideally whаt іt іѕ lіkе tо turn а small company іntо а larger оnе – hаѕ ѕоmеthіng раrtісulаr tо offer tо businesses аnd thаt іѕ whу уоu nееd tо treat thеm rіght ѕо thаt уоu саn gеt thе bеѕt оut оf them.
In thе smaller owner managed business, thе personality оf thе management team оr thе business founder hаѕ а fаr greater impact оn thе organisation thаn іn thе bigger business. Personality issues, fоr instance, bеtwееn members, аrе vеrу оftеn difficult tо deal with. An interim expert саn read bеtwееn thе lines аnd knоw whеn аnd hоw tо intervene fоr thе benefit оf thе business. Wіth аn objective, outsider's approach, аn interim саn provide а uѕеful counter- balance tо thе informality аnd irrationality оf thе smaller business.
Evеrу business nееdѕ company leader's whо саn increase thе business growth bу bringing іn nеw customers. Sіnсе thе ambitious аnd progressive minds lіkе thе interim employee's уоu hаvе саn hеlр уоu accomplish а growth tasks whеnеvеr required. Yоu wоuld wаnt tо mind hоw уоu relate аnd address thеm ѕо thаt уоu don't abuse thеm іn thе process whісh саn reduce thеіr level оf productivity.
Thеrе аrе а number оf opportunities thаt wіll bе brought tо уоur business bу interim experts іf уоu аllоw thеm tо work comfortably wіthоut bеіng undеr pressure оr bеіng abuse іn anyway. Evеrу business nееdѕ thе good heads аrоund tо bе аt а good state оf mind tо continuously witnessing stable progress.

I just moved into my own apartment and have been struggling to find the perfect carpet for my living room. It took me weeks to decide but now I know what I want: THE KNOTS. I have created a post about this Berlin based brand a few months ago and can't decide on which one I would chose because they are all different and unique. To me, it's the perfect eyecatcher for a minimalistic home. Their vintage rugs were made about 80 years ago and are picked by Katrin, founder of the brand, with love and care. They are composed of organic materials and handcrafted applying traditional techniques. After going through a process of sun bleaching, restoring and washing THE KNOTS rugs are reborn into contemporary design with outstanding colors. Their authenticity has been accessed by a federally acknowledged expert for oriental rugs. Find out more about these outstanding rugs and visit their Showroom in Berlin for more information.

A man who may have exposed passengers and crew members on two trans-Atlantic flights earlier this month to a highly drug-resistant form of tuberculosis knew he was infected, and had been advised by health officials not to travel overseas.
The man flew to Paris from his home in Atlanta on May 12 for his wedding and honeymoon, even though health officials told him they "preferred" that he not get on the flight, he said in an interview published today in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Days later, while he was in Italy, he was contacted by officials of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and was told that he had a rare and potentially virulent form of the disease and should turn himself over to Italian health authorities immediately.
Officials of the centers said at a news conference today that they had begun to make arrangements with the Italian authorities to isolate and treat the man in Rome. But instead of cooperating with the plans, the man traveled to the Czech Republic and took a flight from Prague to Montreal.
He said in the published interview that he did that in the belief that he had been put on a no-fly list and would not be allowed to board a flight bound for the United States.Continue reading the main story
From Canada, he drove to the United States, and then turned himself in at a tuberculosis isolation hospital in New York City.
The director of the C.D.C., Julie Gerberding, said today that the man, whose name has not been released, was not highly infectious, but that there was nonetheless a possibility that others could catch the disease from him.
Dr. Martin Cetron, director of the CDC's division of global migration and quarantine, said at a news conference today that federal and international officials were still trying to track down passengers and crew members who were on the two trans-Atlantic flights the man took: Air France 385 on the night of May 12-13, and Czech Air 104 from Prague to Montreal on May 24.
Dr. Cetron said the agency was looking in particular for the passengers who sat in the two rows behind the man and the two rows in front of him, which together could add up to more than 80 people.
According to investigators, the man apparently sat in row 51 on the Air France flight, and near row 12 on the return flight to North America.
"Our focus has been on these two international flights, but we are piecing together the patient's full itinerary," Dr. Cetron said. "At this time, the patient continues to feel well and to be asymptomatic."
He told reporters at the news conference that the patient was never formally ordered not to travel, that he apparently had not broken any laws, and that he was cooperating with federal health authorities now.
Dr. Cetron said that the man flew on five other flights as well during his honeymoon, but those flights, all within Europe, were too short to pose a significant risk of transmitting the disease.
Kristen Loughman, a spokeswoman for Air France, said today that the airline provided investigators with the names of passengers who were on the flight. A spokesman for Czech Air said that his airline, too, was cooperating with the authorities.The infected man is now at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta under federally enforced isolation; he was flown there from New York City on Monday on a plane owned by the C.D.C.
He told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he was planning to undergo an intensive 18-month treatment at a hospital in Denver, and that he did not understand why he was not ordered into isolation before he left for his wedding in Europe. "I'm a very well-educated, successful, intelligent person," the man, who declined to give his name, was quoted in the newspaper interview as saying. "This is insane to me, that I have an armed guard outside my door, when I've cooperated with everything other than the whole solitary-confinement-in-Italy thing."
Dr. Cetron said the man's wife had been tested for tuberculosis and the results were negative, and that the authorities were getting touch with his coworkers and others with whom he came in regular contact.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that because this was the first airline-contact investigation for extremely drug resistant tuberculosis, it was not sure that current recommendations were adequate to determine the possible range and risk of transmission on infection.
The agency said it was advising all passengers and crew members who were on the two commercial flights to be tested for tuberculosis, even though they are believed to be at low risk of having been infected.
That appraisal was based on test results showing that the number of tuberculosis bacteria in the man's sputum was too low to detect, though it would still be enough to infect others under the right conditions.
Dr. Gerberding said at a news conference on Tuesday that her agency was erring on the side of caution because the form of tuberculosis, known as XDR TB, was often fatal and had become a growing public health threat in many countries.
Drug-susceptible, or regular, TB and XDR TB are thought to be spread the same way. Fluids containing the TB bacteria become aerosols when a person coughs, sneezes, speaks or sings. The bacteria can float in the air for several hours, depending on the environment. People who breathe air containing these bacteria can become infected.
The risk of acquiring any type of tuberculosis appears to depend on several factors, including the extent of disease in the person who is the source of the bacteria, the duration of exposure and how well the area is ventilated.
It usually takes several hours or days of exposure in poorly ventilated or crowded environments for a person to become infected. An important way to prevent the spread and transmission of the disease is by limiting an infectious person's contact with other people.
People who have a confirmed diagnosis of TB or XDR TB are generally treated in isolation and kept there until they are no longer infectious.Continue reading the main story

Cost of listening
So former President Obama earned $400,000 for a speech? I say, more power to him.
I am immensely grateful that I was able to hear him for eight years for nothing, but for the taxes I paid.
Thank you, President Obama. Charge more next time.
Now, I'm paying taxes to hear a vulgar, crude, uneducated, unenlightened president whose ability to express himself ability worse than many of my former elementary students.

Conversations have begun for Omoni Oboli's new film, Okafor's Law, with young actor, Gabriel Afolayan, sharing his experience on the set of the movie he described as a very high standard movie.
"This is one of those sets that you would be on and you are glad that you are working. You get to experience a thorough filmmaking process, the breakdown of scenes and shots and the feel of intense lightening. Those are the very important things that most of the filmmakers don't even get to do sometimes.
Incidentally, expectations are high for the movie, which apart from Omoni Oboli's acclaimed successes in recent times marks the return of notable Director of Photography (DOP) Yinka Edwards, who was away for further studies abroad. "Having Yinka Edward on set, it couldn't have been any better, with standard equipment, standard crew in terms of numbers," Afolayan said further.
He also rated Omoni's directing skills as being special. "She is special, very special. She knows everything she's looking for and that's one thing some Directors don't know about. She works in line with the vision of what she's doing. I'm very impressed with her skills and these skills will take her places trust me."
This is Oboli's fourth production ever since the actress veered into filmmaking. The new work is coming on the heels of Wives on Strike which is touted as the third most successful Nollywood movie in Cinema ever.
Okafor's Law is a comedy about a married woman who ran into her past love and had to contend with the legendary Okafor's Law to save herself and her marriage.
Okafor's Law is a law which states that if a man sleeps with a woman once, he can always bed the woman again irrespective of new developments like marriage, new boyfriend or break up.
Apart from high quality crew led by Yinka Edward and the revered Set Designer, Pat Nebo, the movie also boasts of actors and actresses of note, including Richard Mofe Damijo, Blossom Chukwujekwu, Ufuoma McDermott, Tina Mba, Toyin Aimakhu, Lala Akindoju, Yvonne Jegede, Halima Abubakar, Mary Lazarus, Uche Nnaji, Betty Irabor, Ken Erics and Omoni herself.

Yoson An will play Mulan's love interest in Disney's live-action take on the Chinese legend. The Mouse House previously adapted Mulan as an animated film back in 1998, with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Ming-Na Wen voicing the titular character. Liu Yifei will play the role in the live-action version, which re-tells the story of how young Mulan, fearing for her ailing father's life, disguises herself as a man and takes her father's place in China's army. Niki Caro, who previously joined forces with Disney on the true story-based sports drama McFarland, USA, is calling the shots this time around.
With Caro aiming to begin production in New Zealand and China this year, there have been several casting updates for Mulan over the past month. Among those now set to appear in the film are Rogue One's Donnie Yen as Commander Tung, Mulan's mentor in the military; Gong Li as the movie's villain, a powerful witch; and Jet Li as China's seasoned Emperor. Other cast members include Utkarsh Ambudkar and Ron Yuan in supporting roles as, respectively, a con man named Skath and the Imperial Regiment's second in command, Sergeant Qiang.
Related: All the Disney Cameos in Wreck-It Ralph 2
THR is further reporting that An will play Chen Honghui, a "confident and ambitious" member of Commander Tung's unit who becomes Mulan's ally before evolving into her love interest. The animated Mulan, as its fans are no doubt aware, features a different love interest for the movie's namesake; specifically Li Shang, the army captain whose speaking voice was provided by BD Wong (with Donnie Osmond performing Shang's very catchy song in the film, "I'll Make a Man Out of You"). By the sound of it though, Chen's role in the live-action Mulan will be largely identical to Shang's in the Mouse House's 2D animated movie.
An is a lesser-known actor who played a recurring role on the horror TV show Grace and had a (very) small role in the martial arts sequel Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny. He will play another minor role in this summer's giant shark thriller The Meg, but has a comparatively more substantial role in the Mortal Engines movie arriving this December (where he plays Major Chen). THR is also reporting that Chum Ehelepola will costar in Mulan as Ramtish, a character who makes up a duo with Skath in the film.
Some fans of the animated Mulan will naturally be disappointed to learn that Shang isn't a part of the live-action retelling, but it sounds like Chen should be a perfectly acceptable replacement for the character. Others might just be happy to learn that Mulan will have a love interest at all, seeing as it was rumored that Caro's version would be dropping that aspect of the story. Caro has also confirmed that the live-action Mulan will include music, so Chen may yet get to sing a little, as Shang did before him.

Buy-to-let investors made average returns of more than 16 per cent during 2007 on the back of rising property prices and increasing rents.
The average landlord made returns of 16.3 per cent on their property during the year, excluding the cost of fees and mortgage interest, up from returns of 13.5 per cent in 2006, according to Birmingham Midshires.
The rise was partly driven by a 10.7 per cent jump in house prices during the year, leaving the average investment property costing £154,795.
But the group said most of the gains were seen during the first half of 2007, with the market much more subdued during the final six months of the year as a result of the five interest rate rises over the previous 12 months.
Property values rose by just 1.6 per cent during the final three months of the year, and the slowdown is expected to continue into 2008, meaning total returns for investment landlords are not expected to be as strong this year as in the recent past.
Rents also rose during 2007, increasing by just over 13 per cent to average £698 a month.
Investors in Northern Ireland saw the strongest gains, making average returns of 44 per cent in 2007 on the back of soaring property prices in the region. The price of investment properties in Northern Ireland increased by around 39 per cent during the year, dwarfing the gains made in Greater London, which saw the second highest growth of 15.8 per cent.
The South West and the South East were the only other regions to see double digit growth, while in the East Midlands the price of investment property crept ahead by just 5.7 per cent. People looking to rent a home in Scotland saw the biggest jump in costs during the year, with rents there soaring by nearly 23 per cent, while there were also strong rises in the North at 18.2 per cent and in Greater London at 15.4 per cent.
But the East Midlands also recorded the lowest rental growth, with average rents rising by only 8.9 per cent last year, making it one of only two regions that did not see double digit increases.
Despite this, the North is still the cheapest place to rent a property at an average of just £494 a month - the only region in the UK where average monthly rents are below £500.
Overall, property investors in Northern Ireland made the biggest returns during the year at an average of 44 per cent before fees and mortgage costs, followed by investors in Greater London at 21 per cent and those in the South East and South West at just under 16 per cent each.
But even in the East Midlands, where gains were lowest, investors made a return of 11 per cent.
Tim Hague, managing director of Birmingham Midshires Mortgages, said: "The fundamentals underpinning the buy-to-let sector are sound.
"They include strong demand from higher immigration levels and housing affordability concerns for first-time buyers.
"However, we expect house price growth to be more subdued in 2008."

The best ramp I have used are those that mimics the round "biopod". Where both ramps start low on one end. And go opposite directions to meet at a hole that drops into a bucket. It increased my harvest for sure. And them going into a collection bucket was key. Lots of other critters like to eat bsf. That and instead of the dominant chickens getting the bsf when they self harvested into the paddocks all would get some when I dump a buckets worth.
50 lbs of bsf becomes livestock food.
One warning is these little guys eat, a lot, very fast. I take neighbors non compostable scraps and return them with eggs. A large bin can eat lbs and lbs of scraps in 24 hours no problem.
