Midnight Garden 12 x 16 PAD Decor Transfer™
Our Decor Transfers™ are designed in scale and motif to be appropriate for decor. Use them to add a unique touch to your furniture projects, wall art or accessories. Pressure sensitive, you apply them by rubbing them onto the surface. Ensure a long lasting result by sealing with a quality sealer.
We've made many of our new Decor Transfers™ "buildable", by adding opacity, (so that they look good when they overlap) and making the designs themselves more versatile, so that they work visually, when used in combination. Since the designs are more opaque than previous versions, they will show up well against dark colors as well as light.

At the San Francisco School of Flower Design, founded by celebrity florist, Michael Gaffney, their students learn a large variety of different floral designs. Everything from traditional to contemporary design work is covered during their exciting 4- or 8-week semester. A gorgeous mix of fresh flower and green materials are provided to the students during each day's class (all materials are included with the tuition cost), as well as live demonstrations, flower market field trips, instructor assistance and best of all, hands on designing by the students themselves. Michael Gaffney who has been featured on the Hallmark Channel, Today Show and Huffington Post states, "In my book Design Star, there are 100 tips to flower design, but in class there are 1000. Being in class and having that one-on-one access to an instructor is important to learning good design habits and techniques."
Classes in San Francisco are offered in the afternoon and evenings on Mondays and Wednesdays of each week during the semester. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. If you would like more information about classes and how to register, please call 1-877-32-BLOOM today or go to http://www.sanfranciscoflowerdesign.com for details.

This year's drought delivered a pricey punch to US aquaculture, the business of raising fish like bass and catfish for food. Worldwide, aquaculture has grown into a $119 billion industry, but the lack of water and high temperatures in 2012 hurt many U.S. fish farmers who were already struggling to compete on a global scale.
At Osage Catfisheries, about one mile off the highway in rural, central Missouri, there are dozens of rectangular ponds with rounded corners. Some of them are empty, some have water, but not one is completely full.
Co-owner Steve Kahrs dons a pair of shorts on an unusually warm December day and surveys his ponds. Today, the water is fairly still with a few ripples from the warm breeze. He stands in front of one pond filled with catfish about eight to 12 inches long and points to the dirty rings circling up a white PVC pipe for about a foot before it becomes white again.
"They're out of the water a ways," he says. "Our average depth is still about five feet. But we're a good 10 or 12 inches down of where we'd keep it."
Down the highway a few miles, Kahrs' office can be found in a small house next to two tiny ponds where his father first started raising fish about 60 years ago. Scattered about the property are sinks and large tubs filled with catfish, bluegill and paddlefish. Kahrs says this year, the drought proved to be tough on the family business — one that sorely depends on water.
"We did fall short on our production numbers that we wanted," he says.
The dry conditions and high temperatures forced many fish farmers here to dig deep to keep their fish healthy and fed. For Kahrs, that meant paying for more energy to pump clean, cool water out of his wells and into the ponds around the clock.
"We probably chewed through about 30 percent more of our power than we did the year before, and the year before was not that good," he says.
It wasn't just the water levels. The soaring temperatures in the summer turned up the burner on the ponds. When that happens, oxygen levels in the water drop and a fish's metabolism slows down. To counteract this, Kahrs says he was pumping water nearly every day from April through September.
Farmers also saw the price of fish feed shoot up because it contains soybean and corn, which underperformed this year because of the drought.
John Hargreaves, a former aquaculture professor at Mississippi State University who now consults for global aquaculture development projects, says acreage of catfish ponds have dropped considerably since the early 2000s. The rising production costs of fish farming, erratic weather and a less expensive type of catfish from Asia have all hurt the catfish industry in the US.
"Production is down, and one of the big drivers for that was the increase in imports of pangasius catfish from Vietnam, China and so forth," he says. "Those imports have substituted for domestic catfish."
Between 2010 and 2011, 20 percent of domestic catfish farms shut down. And as we reported before, seafood imports are also hurting the domestic shrimp market.
So what can fish farmers do to survive the stiff competition and spells of inhospitable weather? Some researchers have been looking into modifying the pond system to make it more energy efficient. Others are experimenting with new feed recipes requiring less expensive ingredients. But, Hargreaves says, even that might be not enough to save this domestic industry.
"There's no silver bullet or game changer. That's for certain," he says.
In the meantime, Kahrs plans to repurpose at least 20 acres of catfish ponds to raise other species, like paddlefish and bass. He hopes they'll be more lucrative. But most of all he's hoping for a solid snowpack this winter and lots of rain in the spring.

The souring of buttery instrumentals by Zach Saginaw crafts a trickle-down effect of warm beats hitting jagged rocks. Like settling down at the end of the day in an uncomfortable chair sent by the LA beat scene, Shigeto is just above melancholic but is never far away from disaffected, creating silver linings — just like the eponymous track 11 — with fractures in them.
The mixing of analogue plug-ins with methods using digital chopsticks, hardens adolescent innocence to cold facts. "Olivia" gets heads nodding while administering paper cuts to ears, and hip-hop burbles chunter under their breath ("Detroit Part 1"). Any positivity is always consumed mildly, a habitual sweetness in the air ("Ritual Howl") handled with concern. Where one or two beats refuse to let on, sometimes you wish Shigeto would come out and be less emotionally indistinct. "Perfect Crime" noodles and fidgets away, teasing with hopeful segments that are quickly done for.
Saginaw sifting through several processes at once is why his mood never appears as cut and dried as merely lonely or savouring isolation. With there being no barren spells of emptiness, flickers, squirms and tics in a smothered surround sound create a low-rent richness you feel you can lean on. Conversely, when fighting for sleep as temperature takes over, the lava lamp alongside starting to churn fiery colours, this is just the instrumentalism to go with it.

Emotionally Charged Google Ad Chronicles COVID-19 Search Terms, Ends With Vaccine Call-to-Action
Did Google's new advertisement get you all up in your feels?
An unexpectedly powerful, minute-long video from Google uploaded to YouTube and shown during the NCAA Final Four games over the weekend, titled "get back to what you love," showed how search results have changed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to today.
In the commercial, the search engine shows "sweat pants" changing to just "pants" and a scheduled "virtual happy hour" edited to an in-real-life "happy hour" calendar notice, illustrating how the world is beginning to open back up again due to the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccines.
"While there's still uncertainty ahead, the vaccine gives us reason for hope," Google writes in the video's description. "As the vaccine becomes more available, you may have questions. Search 'covid vaccine' to get the facts."
The ad encourages viewers to search the phrase "covid vaccine near me" to schedule their appointment, as well as to visit the website for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for additional information about the vaccine.
Despite the ad's optimistic outlook, some did not like how Google portrayed the current state of the coronavirus pandemic.
"Google is acting like the pandemic is over? I'd say it's well from over personally," one user wrote on Twitter. "Plenty of people still don't have the vaccine and continue to fight the pandemic every day. Hopeful outlook but slightly insensitive in my opinion"
"I love the creative for @Google's #advert for life returning to normal. However I can't help feel it's a little premature; it's not normal yet. Am I missing the point? Is it just about hope for the future? It certainly evoked an emotional response in me," another added.
Others couldn't help but find the video to be incredibly heartwarming and hopeful.
"This commercial gave me feels I wasn't prepared for… I'm so hopeful that normal is on its way back to us," a Twitter user shared.
"Wow. This is good. Why isn't the CDC using this!?!?!? Maybe I teared up a little...." another added.
Some folks who pay attention to detail, however, are simply not having the extra leading space in the search engine and clicks used in the video, though.
"Love this ad, but my OCD is making me mad: 1) The extra leading space on the 'new' search terms 2) Ad should have ended with a solid "click" as the user hit enter Otherwise, awesome," a Twitter user pointed out.
Regardless, the advert has surely stirred up all sorts of emotional responses from viewers.
Watch the commercial, below.

Consumers decide to eat away from home for many different reasons. Maybe they're looking for a fun-filled environment or a family-friendly atmosphere. Or perhaps they crave a favorite menu item or simply a convenient, budget-friendly meal. Often the decision to eat out stems from more than one reason. Restaurants that genuinely understand consumers' most significant visit drivers can take important steps to tweak their operations and win incremental business.
"We see a strong relationship between different consumer dining occasions and the reengineering of operators' menus," says Darren Tristano, Vice President of Technomic. "We've identified several distinct dining occasions and they're directly influenced by consumer needs and industry trends. As operators and suppliers recognize how these occasions differ, they can spot opportunities to not only reposition menu offerings, but to update and revamp service elements, in order to meet the direct needs of customers for each occasion and gain valuable foodservice dollars."
To help foodservice executives better understand consumer behavior, preferences and attitudes regarding a variety of key dining-occasion needstates, Technomic has developed the Menu Positioning & Occasion Driver Consumer Trend Report.
Seventy percent of consumers say they order shareable meals so they can try more than one item on the menu. Although most convenience-driven meal occasions are for takeout or delivery (58%), two-fifths are for dine-in (42%), indicating that speed of service is also a key factor for dine-in occasions.
Cravings are strong foodservice purchase drivers; 50% of all consumers'—and 59% of younger males' (aged 18-24)—foodservice occasions are driven by cravings.
More than any other factor, 69% of consumers report that dining with friends contributes to a fun, exciting restaurant experience.
When having a regular meal with family or friends, nearly three-fifths of consumers (58%) prefer comfort foods.
Technomic's Menu Positioning & Occasion Driver Consumer Trend Report provides information on today's developments around how food and beverage offerings are being promoted on the menu to directly appeal to consumers for specific occasions. The Menu & Dining Occasion Trends section provides a comprehensive overview of current trends for key dining occasions. The Consumer Insights sections examines consumer definitions, patronage, purchasing behavior and preferences based on findings from an exclusive survey from 1,500 consumers. Finally, the report appendices feature detailed concept and menu profiles for 10 concepts that reveal how operators are positioning brands and menus to cater to consumers.

Temporary Files
In this chapter, we describe how to create temporary files and directories, how to remove them, and how to work with programs which do not create files in ways that are safe with a shared directory for temporary files. General file system manipulation is treated in a separate chapter, File System Manipulation.
Secure creation of temporary files has four different aspects.
The location of the directory for temporary files must be obtained in a secure manner (that is, untrusted environment variables must be ignored, see xref:tasks/Tasks-Processes.adoc#sect-Defensive_Coding-Tasks-secure_getenv[Accessing Environment Variables).
A new file must be created. Reusing an existing file must be avoided (the
race condition). This is tricky because traditionally, system-wide temporary directories shared by all users are used. -
The file must be created in a way that makes it impossible for other users to open it.
The descriptor for the temporary file should not leak to subprocesses.
All functions mentioned below will take care of these aspects.
Traditionally, temporary files are often used to reduce memory
usage of programs. More and more systems use RAM-based file
systems such as tmpfs
for storing temporary
files, to increase performance and decrease wear on Flash storage.
As a result, spooling data to temporary files does not result in
any memory savings, and the related complexity can be avoided if
the data is kept in process memory.
Obtaining the Location of Temporary Directory
Some functions below need the location of a directory which stores temporary files. For C/C++ programs, use the following steps to obtain that directory:
to obtain the value of theTMPDIR
environment variable. If it is set, convert the path to a fully-resolved absolute path, usingrealpath(path, NULL)
. Check if the new path refers to a directory and is writeable. In this case, use it as the temporary directory. -
Fall back to
In Python, you can use the tempfile.tempdir
Java does not support SUID/SGID programs, so you can use the
method to
obtain the value of the TMPDIR
variable, and follow the two steps described above. (Java's
default directory selection does not honor
Named Temporary Files
The mkostemp
function creates a named
temporary file. You should specify the
flag to avoid file descriptor leaks
to subprocesses. (Applications which do not use multiple threads
can also use mkstemp
, but libraries should
use mkostemp
.) For determining the
directory part of the file name pattern, see Obtaining the Location of Temporary Directory
The file is not removed automatically. It is not safe to rename
or delete the file before processing, or transform the name in
any way (for example, by adding a file extension). If you need
multiple temporary files, call mkostemp
multiple times. Do not create additional file names derived
from the name provided by a previous
call. However, it is safe to close
the descriptor returned by mkostemp
reopen the file using the generated name.
The Python class tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile
provides similar functionality, except that the file is deleted
automatically by default. Note that you may have to use the
attribute to obtain the actual file
object because some programming interfaces cannot deal with
file-like objects. The C function mkostemp
is also available as tempfile.mkstemp
In Java, you can use the
java.io.File.createTempFile(String, String,
function, using the temporary file location
determined according to Obtaining the Location of Temporary Directory.
Do not use java.io.File.deleteOnExit()
delete temporary files, and do not register a shutdown hook for
each temporary file you create. In both cases, the deletion
hint cannot be removed from the system if you delete the
temporary file prior to termination of the VM, causing a memory
Temporary Files without Names
The tmpfile
function creates a temporary
file and immediately deletes it, while keeping the file open.
As a result, the file lacks a name and its space is deallocated
as soon as the file descriptor is closed (including the implicit
close when the process terminates). This avoids cluttering the
temporary directory with orphaned files.
Alternatively, if the maximum size of the temporary file is
known beforehand, the fmemopen
function can
be used to create a FILE *
object which is
backed by memory.
In Python, unnamed temporary files are provided by the
class, and the
class provides
a way to avoid creation of small temporary files.
Java does not support unnamed temporary files.
Temporary Directories
The mkdtemp
function can be used to create
a temporary directory. (For determining the directory part of
the file name pattern, see Obtaining the Location of Temporary Directory.)
The directory is not automatically removed. In Python, this
function is available as tempfile.mkdtemp
In Java 7, temporary directories can be created using the
java.nio.file.Files.createTempDirectory(Path, String,
When creating files in the temporary directory, use automatically generated names, e.g., derived from a sequential counter. Files with externally provided names could be picked up in unexpected contexts, and crafted names could actually point outside of the tempoary directory (due to directory traversal).
Removing a directory tree in a completely safe manner is
complicated. Unless there are overriding performance concerns,
the rm program should be used, with
the -rf
and --
Compensating for Unsafe File Creation
There are two ways to make a function or program which excepts a file name safe for use with temporary files. See Creating Safe Processes for details on subprocess creation.
Create a temporary directory and place the file there. If possible, run the program in a subprocess which uses the temporary directory as its current directory, with a restricted environment. Use generated names for all files in that temporary directory. (See Temporary Directories.)
Create the temporary file and pass the generated file name to the function or program. This only works if the function or program can cope with a zero-length existing file. It is safe only under additional assumptions:
The function or program must not create additional files whose name is derived from the specified file name or are otherwise predictable.
The function or program must not delete the file before processing it.
It must not access any existing files in the same directory.
It is often difficult to check whether these additional assumptions are matched, therefore this approach is not recommended.

Due to low attendance, rising costs, and suspected pressure from animal rights activists, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus announced the circus would close in May 2017 after 146 years.
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is a United States traveling circus company billed as "The Greatest Show on Earth." The circus, known as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows, was started in 1919 when the Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth, a circus created by P. T. Barnum and James Anthony Bailey, was merged with the Ringling Bros. World's Greatest Shows. The Ringling brothers had purchased Barnum & Bailey Ltd. following Bailey's death in 1906, but ran the circuses separately until they were merged in 1919.
A brief summary about the early days of circus reveals:
In 1884, five of the seven Ringling brothers had started a small circus in Baraboo, Wisconsin. This was about the same time that Barnum & Bailey were at the peak of their popularity. Similar to dozens of small circuses that toured the Midwest and the Northeast at the time, the brothers moved their circus from town to town in small animal-drawn caravans. Their circus rapidly grew and they were soon able to move their circus by train, which allowed them to have the largest traveling amusement enterprise of that time. Bailey's European tour gave the Ringling brothers an opportunity to move their show from the Midwest to the eastern seaboard. Faced with the new competition, Bailey took his show west of the Rocky Mountains for the first time in 1905. He died the next year, and the circus was sold to the Ringling Brothers. [Wikipedia]
A fascinating aspect of the circus is the transportation methods used, beginning in the late 19th century. Trains, and train wagons transported people, equipment, animals, and performers state-to-state and overseas by country. A seemingly economical and fast way to travel, the mode of travel wasn't without its peril.
The Railroad Tradition at Ringling Bros.
1830s Railroads and circuses begin to appear in the Eastern United States
1840s Circuses begin using boxcars and stock cars for limited distances
1870s April 18, 1872 Ð the P.T. Barnum Circus loaded onto flat cars "piggyback" -style on the Pennsylvania Railroad. Rented sleepers serve as solid circus train, the first unit train concept
1890s The best circuses move by rail: Barnum & Bailey has 56 cars, Ringling Bros. has 56 cars
1920s Ringling Bros. totals almost 100 cars traveling by rail
1950s Ringling Bros. shifts to combined rail/truck transportation
1960s Ringling Bros. discontinues using tents and returns to 100% rail transportation
1969 Ringling Bros. forms second rail unit
The first circus to travel by rail was the Den Stone Circus in 1854. Through out the history of the American circus, train wrecks have taken many lives. The last fatal circus train wreck occurred in 1994 near Lakeland, Florida. [www.circusesandsideshows.com]
Regardless of the irony about train wrecks and the circus, the history of rail and commerce is documented in photographs quite effectively and idyllically. It speaks to the nature of the business and revealed a lifestyle of hard labor and endless travel. Depending on what you believe, we have replaced the circus with our own media circus, and nevertheless the early traveling sideshow and the romanticism of the train has a place in Americana, now almost only captured in images.
[All images in gallery are from Collection of Circus Travel photography albums. c. 1890-1960. A fabulous pair of albums containing upwards of 550 black and white original photographs and clippings of circus vehicles, parades, acts and equipment dating from the late 19th century through the Depression and war years up to the late 1950's and early 1960's. 2 volumes, quarto,
approx 34 leaves per volumes, 310 images in volume I, 234 images in vol II with some loose and displaced images throughout. The albums are 1940's rexine bound ring binders with heavy sugar paper leaves, all images in very good condition or better, the majority captioned with typed tape slips either on the image or adjacent to it on the album page. Very Good+. Spiral Bound. (#9077)]

A zero-cost cultural afternoon
On Sunday in Barcelona most ticket-office staff seem to have part of the day off, so you won't have to buy tickets for most main museums. The only thing to remember is this rule only applies after 3pm or all day on the first Sunday in the month. That's right! You can enjoy the top museums without paying a penny… surely one of the best deals in town.
To make it easier for you to choose, below we'll tell you about the participating museums and the best times to visit for free.
Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. A must-see museum… and not just because it boasts spectacular views of the city and Plaça d'Espanya from its vantage point on Montjuïc , but because it showcases the world's finest collection of and works by some of the leading artists from Catalonia's home-grown art nouveau movement, modernisme, such as Gaudí and Casas, Gothic art, great European Renaissance and baroque painters, such as Titian and Velázquez, and a photography collection that completes the museum's holdings. The museum also stages temporary exhibitions and is the perfect place to lose yourself in history on a leisurely Sunday.
When to go: Admission is free on the first Sunday of the month and on Saturday after 3pm. The museum is also free all day on 11th and 24th September and 18th May, World Museum Day.
Museu d'Història de Barcelona. You mustn't miss this museum if you want to understand and experience Barcelona from its origins to the present day. MUHBA preserves, studies, documents, disseminates and showcases the city's historic heritage and its main museum is housed in the Casa Padellàs, one of the buildings that make up the Monumental Ensemble of the Plaça del Rei, in the Gothic Quarter. This means that the area around the museum is also full of history.
When to go: Admission is free every Sunday after 3pm and all day on the first Sunday in the month. The museum is also free all day on the Feast of Santa Eulàlia (12th February), 24th September and 18th May.
Museu Picasso. This is the city's most visited museum and one of its oldest. It was founded at the behest of the artist and his friend and secretary Jaume Sabartés, who donated his collection. The museum has on display many portraits of the friends and personalities who were part of Picasso's circle, as well as engravings, lithographs and ceramics. The most outstanding exhibit is the complete series of 58 canvasses based on Las Meninas by Velázquez, which Picasso donated after Sabartés' death. The museum is located in the centre of the Born district, in five Gothic palazzos that make up one of the finest examples of civil architecture from the Gothic period. Another work of art you have to take your time to look at.
When to go: We recommend you get there early because there's nearly always a queue to get in. Admission is free on Sunday from 3pm to 7pm and all day on the first Sunday in the month, 12th February, 18th May and 24th September.Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB). You're bound to spot the CCCB because there's usually a hip and trendy crowd milling around nearby, along with skateboarders and bars with cool terraces. Situated in the centre of Barcelona, in the Raval district, this cultural attraction opened in 1994 on premises formerly occupied by the poorhouse, the Casa de la Caritat which was built in 1802 on the site of a medieval monastery. The façade and part of the original courtyard have been preserved; the rest was rebuilt using glass and steel. The CCCB organizes and produces exhibitions, debates, festivals and concerts, programmes film cycles, courses and lectures, and encourages creation using new technologies and languages. An absolute must if you want to discover and share trends and creativity in their purest state.
When to go: Admission is free every Sunday from 3pm to 8pm, on 12th February, 18th May, Museum Night, and 24th September.
Barcelona's museums are everywhere, just like its beauty. So, if you're looking for something different like the Museu de la Música, NAT (Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona), the Museu de Disseny de Barcelona and many more … and find how many you can visit without paying a cent.
Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. Address: Parc de Montjuïc. How to get there: Plaça Espanya (L1, L3).
Museu d'Història de Barcelona. Address: Plaça del Rei. How to get there: Jaume I (L4).
Museu Picasso. Address: carrer Montcada, 15-23. How to get there: Jaume I (L4).

Maximus II of Constantinople
Maximus II of Constantinople was patriarch of the Church of Constantinople, in exile in Nicea, from June to December 1216.
Little is known of the life of Maximus II. Prior to being named patriarch he had been abbot of the monastery of the Akoimetoi and was the confessor of the emperor Theodore I Laskaris who in exile after the Latin conquest of Constantinople led the Empire of Nicea.
Maximus became patriarch in June 1216. He was patriarch-in-exile, living in Nicea, as his titular seat was occupied by Latin patriarchs in Constantinople.
His appointment as patriarch was criticized by the writers George Akropolites (c.1217-1282) and Nikephoros Kallistos Xanthopoulos (1256-1335), noting him as "uneducated".[1] and having become patriarch through his intrigue into the palace's women's quarters. Akropolites writes that he "paid court to the women's quarters and was in turn courted by it; for it was nothing else which raised him to such eminence."[2]
Maximus II died in office in December 1216 after only six months on the patriarchal throne.

My basement workshop is so crammed full of stuff I literally can't use it. My workbench, a sturdy hardwood library table, is covered in junk to the point that I couldn't find a square foot that didn't have two layers of detritus on it — the top layer is big things like old projects that no longer work, boxes of stuff, fragile but light things perched on top. Underneath is the magma of bent resistors, snippets of LED strip, #4 screws, mystery fasteners I'll never use, purple circuit boards from old versions of projects, and a surprising number of SparkFun and Adafruit breakouts that have filtered down from higher up in the heap.
When work on something I bring the parts up to the dining room and work on the table, which is great for many reasons — more space, better light, and superior noms access top the list. The down side is that I don't devote any time to making my real shop into a viable working place, and it becomes a cluttered store room by default.
I am therefore focusing on a four-part plan to reclaim my work space from heaps of junk.
1. Have a System, Not a Gimmick Fix
Most workshop clutter articles involve "clever tricks" category, you know, grandpa's jam jars on the ceiling kind of thing. It usually boils down to, what's a cute and fun way to store the stuff currently in your workshop?
In short, it presupposes that one system will be all that it takes to get your work area in order. I am reminded of those old-school pegboards where the owner drew outlines for the saw, hammer, clamp, and so on. Inevitably old tools were lost and new ones added, and from that point forward, the pegboard sucks. You get to look at a saw outline with a hammer hanging in front of it, barring repainting. No one would blame you for zeroing out at that point.
This is not to say that those organization ideas can't be used — they're just not a panacea. A few months ago I wrote a piece on using peanut butter jars to store LEGO and metal hardware, with laser-cut wooden trays allowing me to stack up a bunch of jars in a relatively small amount of floor space.
I tried to build that in with modularity, the trays can accommodate seven small or four big jars each. More to the point, I definitely need multiple shifting, flexible solutions so that my system doesn't become a hindrance.
2. Only Work Goes on the Bench
There's a reason why it's called the workbench, because I work on it. When people talk about clutter they shouldn't be referring to the stuff one's currently working on. That's not clutter, that's just work. But it becomes clutter when I'm not working on anything on the bench and it's still messy. Then the bench has become storage, and that is a dangerous and fraught path, at least within the realm of cleanliness.
If you have to set a project aside, either for reasons of time, parts, or boredom, box that project up. If nothing else it will save your stuff from getting dusty or damp.
It never hurts to maximize your real estate by take advantage of Z-space. I have a bunch of old 2x6s in my garage and I had an idea for a low shelf along the back of my table, and I could put my meter, adjustable power supply, power strip, and so on there. But in the end, the more stuff that's not the project, the worse off I'll be.
3. Set Up an Overflow Area
There will always be stuff that ends up in my workshop that doesn't have a place. Most of the time it ends up on top of the workbench. Putting it there is supposed to make me want to work on it, but instead it prevents me from using the bench as effectively, and contributes to it becoming an intriguing but frustrating junk heap.
I want to set up a backup storage area — a shelf, maybe — where I can put stuff temporarily. Nothing will stay on that shelf stays longer than a year. That way I can hold on to something interesting while still recognizing that it's on borrowed time, and either it gets used in a period of time or it gets donated or recycled.
Not coincidentally, the local hackerspace has a wonderful junk shelf — though much neater than it used to be. Now it has strict policy for not letting anything stay forever, no matter how juicy. Sometimes you just have to be ruthless.
4. Give it Away, Now
I've come to accept that I'm totally a 'tronics and tool hoarder. I have 25 DC motors right next to me, but I'll still spend two hours disassembling a broken toy to harvest yet another. I have to acknowledge that I have too much stuff, and I need to get rid of it, and that's really at the heart of all clutter problems, a surplus of crap.
I experiment in areas outside of my core interests and acquire the infrastructure for it, but sometimes it never takes hold. For instance, I have a fairly robust set of chemistry glasswork on my desk, but haven't had time to play with it in forever. Some of it is left over from my gunpowder-making youth, so there is a nostalgia factor as well. If I don't think I'm going to use it in the next year or two, why not just donate it? All those DC motors could do some elementary schools some good. If I haven't used it in a year then it goes on the free shelf at the hackerspace.
Please share some ideas you have for keeping your hackin' game in order. How much does a cluttered house connote an uncluttered mind?

You can't get very far in exploring the expanding realm of citizen science without bumping into the names Tito Jankowski and Eri Gentry. Tito has been involved in DIYbio, the global amateur biology org with local chapters, the Pearl Biotech Gel Box project (the open hardware gel electrophoresis system), and OpenPCR, the open-source PCR machine. Eri Gentry is a biotech entrepreneur, citizen science community organizer, and the co-founder (along with Tito) of BioCurious, the first hackerspace for biotech, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Goodwill through science is her passion. Eri believes that "Science + togetherness will change the world," an equation that pretty much sums up a lot of growing citizen science impulse.
We're thrilled to have Tito and Eri joining us this month to do some guest authoring on some of what they're up to and what in the world of citizen science is currently blipping their radars. Welcome Tito and Eri!

In spite of having been short-lived, "Weimar" has never lost its fascination. Until recently the Weimar Republic's place in German history was primarily defined by its catastrophic beginning and end - Germany's defeat in 1918 and the Nazi seizure of power in 1933; its history seen mainly in terms of politics and as an arena of flawed decisions and failed compromises. However, a flourishing of interdisciplinary scholarship on Weimar political culture is uncovering arenas of conflict and change that had not been studied closely before, such as gender, body politics, masculinity, citizenship, empire and borderlands, visual culture, popular culture and consumption. This collection offers new perspectives from leading scholars in the disciplines of history, art history, film studies, and German studies on the vibrant political culture of Germany in the 1920s. From the traumatic ruptures of defeat, revolution, and collapse of the Kaiser's state, the visionaries of Weimar went on to invent a republic, calling forth new citizens and cultural innovations that shaped the republic far beyond the realms of parliaments and political parties.

How to Put the 'Super' in Supervisor
Being a supervisor in any setting brings to mind a myriad of responsibilities. Is it best to guide or direct, monitor or inspect, influence or manage? As a supervisor to well over 120 speech-language pathologists in school settings during the past 15 years, I have learned a lot about duties and people.
Each situation or SLP calls for different handling at different times, but staying true to one's own supervisory style is most important, I feel. Consistency helps everyone stay connected and working toward mutual goals.
Over the years I have developed a list of seven skills that have, time and again, helped me stay on track and support staff, even when I really had no idea how to handle a particular situation! If the following list can help even one person, I offer it with humility, as I am still learning and growing:
- Listen! Actively listen to staff (and parents!). Do not interrupt or begin to form a response until the person is done speaking. Sometimes people only need to be heard.
- Be available. Let staff know how, when, where to find you helps alleviate concerns.
- Take responsibility for your actions and for those on your staff. Do what you say you will do.
- Give credit where credit is due. Usually the best ideas have come from the staff.
- Lead, follow or get out of the way. Okay, I stole this one from Thomas Paine, but it is true. Often it is necessary to lead, but recognize and follow a good idea when it is offered. At times, you have to let a staff member figure out a solution for his or herself (this I learned from a seasoned supervisor).
- Stay informed. Stay current with knowledge and skills for your area of the field; it is fine to learn from other staff or supervisors.
- ACT. Be accountable, credible, trustworthy
Your list may be very different from mine, and I would be happy to compare notes. Supervision has been, by far, my most challenging and interesting job during my 30+ year career in speech-language pathology. And I am honored to be able to work with a dedicated and professional group of individuals! Each one has taught me valuable lessons about coaching, guiding, monitoring and supervising. The staff is truly the most valuable asset, and, as such, honing one's supervisory skills is critical to your and their success. Good luck!
