Neba Solo
Neba Solo
Since 1996 Neba Solo has been dazzling audiences in Mali and abroad with his innovative and virtuosic bala style and thought-provoking compositions. He has become something like the Charlie Parker of the Senufo bala. Just as everyone imitated Bird after his emergence on the bebop scene of the 1940s, so every young bala player longs to play like Neba Solo. There are many imitators but only one Neba Solo.
Balafon is actually the French word for instrument that is known as bala in Bambara and cekiw in Senufo. It is a wooden xylophone with calabash resonators, and comes in various sizes. Wooden xylophones, with various names, tunings, and number of keys are found throughout the African continent, and each cultural tradition has personalized the instrument in its own way.
Neba Solo (b. 1969), whose given name is Souleymane Traoré was raised in the village of Neba which is twenty-five miles northeast of Sikasso, Mali's second largest city in the Southeastern corner of the country. His father Zano Traoré was a master bala player who very early on recognized his son's extraordinary talent. As child Neba Solo learned all instruments in the traditional Senufo ensemble including the bara drums (small and large), the tchatchara, the karinyan, and the ceikiw (bala). As a teenager he and his older brother Ousmane led a group that played for all sorts of celebrations, festivals, dances, naming ceremonies, funerals, weddings, and other social events at villages throughout the Kenedougou region (southeastern Mali). Souleymane's reputation quickly spread by word of mouth and soon people were asking each other whether they had heard the Solo (short for Souleymane) from Neba. Soon everyone was calling him Neba Solo.
When he was eighteen years old Solo heard Alpha Blondy's reggae recording of Jersualem. He was particularly enchanted by the bass line and decided to try building a bala with added bass notes. His father and other Senufo were at first skeptical of the changes he was proposed to make in the instrument. Before he could continue developing his ideas he had to receive his father's permission. They came to an agreement: his father gave him a certain period of time in which to make a recording based on his new ideas. If his father liked the result, he would grant him his permission to continue his musical direction. Solo went into the countryside to gather wood to begin building his new bala. He added three bass notes to the traditional 17 keys and also experimented with various tunings. First and foremost, he wanted to expand the role of the bass line in his music. He ultimately took a traditional Senufo tune that everyone knew and created his own version of it with expanded bass line and new tuning. He played it for Senufo audiences and recorded it for his father. Everyone agreed that the new version of the tune was an improvement and his father, at the end of 1987, granted him permission to pursue his new musical direction.
Throughout the next several years Neba Solo developed a new sound for the bala ensemble. Instead of three bala-one for bass, one for treble, and one for accompaniment-Solo used two bala. The accompaniment parts were distributed between the treble and bass instruments. His brother Siaka, who plays the treble bala, plays and improvises tremble melodies with his right hand while playing accompaniment parts with the left hand. Solo plays and improvises bass lines with his left hand and plays accompaniment parts with his right hand. Neba Solo also began distinguishing himself as a composer, by writing many, many songs on topics of social interest in Mali-vaccination, female excision, corruption, environmental issues, and the like. He has completed his third album, Neba Kady, which has been a smashing success in Mali. He is now looking for a distributor in the West.
Enjoy his music!

Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong is a premium grade oolong grown at an altitdue of 1500m. This high quality oolong is from Cameron Tea, an online tea seller based in Taiwan. Cameron Tea has a small line up right now, but everything looks good quality, offering both premium and competition grade oolongs and black teas.
It is HOT here in Southern California. Roasting hot and it's only May! I hope all the out of towners heading to the World Tea Expo here at the end of the month will be ready for weather! As much as I want a higher caffeine tea to counter sleeping bad from the heat (which I finally gave in last night and turned on the AC), I want a lighter tea to get some kind of a refreshing effect. With that said, a green oolong would be an ideal tea session today.
I will be reviewing the Premium Grade Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong today. The teas were pretty quick to arrive, despite coming all the way from Taiwan. Interesting packaging from Cameron Tea for each of their teas. Within the box is a vacuumed pack bag of tea.
Dry Leaf
Once I opened the vacuumed pack, I got hit with Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong's fragrance – very strong floral and butter candy scent. The dry leaf is HUGE and weighty.
Steeping Instructions
Cameron has steeping instructions listed in their FAQ section, which was a western steeping hybrid of using 3 to 5 grams of tea, boiling water with a 1 to 1.5 minute steep. Additional steepings, add 30 to 50 seconds. I decided to follow their instructions, but I can see Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong is made for gong fu brewing.
After a minute I had a linen yellow cup of tea with lots of floral loveliness going on.
Tasting of Cameron Tea's Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong
If I could describe Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong in one word it would be "Sunny". Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong is excellent quality – the tea has a light body that is crisp, clear, and fresh. Throughout the sip is a lightly silky texture. The floral is quite nice, 4/10 on the Floral-0-meter, with notes of buttercups. Along with the floral is a balanced honey sweetness and buttery notes. This tea sips in as pure sun! As the tea cools, it is quite refreshing due to the fresh and crisp flavor. No grassy or vegetal notes. Also no dry or bitterness.
With this steeping method, my second, third and fourth resteeps were very consistent in flavor. By the way, I love how clear Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong looks!
After a couple resteeps I had to check out the leaves of Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong. HUGE!
Premium grade Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong is high quality and fresh green oolong – a luxurious treat for an oolong drinker! The premium grade is a couple dollars cheaper compared to the competition grade, but if you want to go ALL OUT, you can and get the competition grade. I really enjoyed the light, crisp body of Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong, with a great balance of silky texture and sweetness.

Our vision at Seneca Foods is to continue to grow as the leader in packaged produce by remaining deeply rooted in our fundamental beliefs, and through a shared commitment to those we serve. That shared commitment directly involves our relationship with our employees.
Employees will be treated with respect and we will look to promote from within to provide advancement opportunities to our employees and develop loyalty.

All in all, it is the combined team effort of every member of our Seneca Family that will enable us to be successful in reaching it.
Seneca Learns
We have developed programs to empower our employees with the skills necessary to help them in making a difference to our company. These programs positively impact both our employees and the work environment. Two key programs are Seneca GROWS (Get Rid of Waste Systematically) and Seneca SAVES (Seneca Adding Value Employee System).
GROWS is an approach to learning based on the philosophy that job enrichment must come from uninhibited involvement of those affected. It highlights respect and understanding, and reinforces growth and engagement between the individual and the organization. At the center of GROWS is the development of a continuous improvement action plan. Action plans are instrumental in helping to reach many of Seneca's objectives. We create action plans by reviewing situations in the work area and looking for possible improvements. Many action plans impact the areas of Quality, Human Safety, Cost Reduction, Productivity, or the Environment.
SAVES is an action oriented process improvement program founded on systematic lean problem solving, disciplined waste elimination, superior cost management, and iterative continuous improvements across the organization impacting areas such as quality, service delivery, and employee safety. The program is committed to supporting professional development and personal growth of employees by providing education, training, and direct coaching on the application of lean tools and methodologies. It also fosters a learning organization by promoting reflection, self-assessment, and learning from our experiences.

Today, Congressmen Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-09) was joined by local veterans along with representatives of Catholic Charities of the Dioceses Paterson and Archdioceses of Newark to announce that the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) has awarded a $1.7 million federal grant to Catholic Charities' Catholic Family and Community Service (CFCS) in Paterson that will fund a major expansion of service available to New Jersey veterans. The federal grant will allow Paterson-based CFCS to become a primary provider of services to very-low income veterans and their families who are homeless or about to be without permanent housing in seven New Jersey Counties, including Bergen and Passaic, while convening a task force of local service providers to address unmet needs among veterans.
"Catholic Family and Community Service provides much needed services to veterans at risk of becoming homeless," said Rep. Pascrell. "By assisting those veterans in keeping their homes during difficult financial times, Catholic Family and Community Service is helping fulfill this nation's commitment to our bravest men and women. This federal grant will allow CFCS to expand their services to my district in Bergen and Hudson Counties, and help more deserving veterans throughout Northern New Jersey. Our brave men and women in uniform sacrificed so much protecting our country and deserve every available resource as they return to civilian life."
Today's announcement took place at the inaugural meeting of the Northern New Jersey Veteran Services Advisory Consortium - a task force convened by CFCS to better identify and coordinate veteran services in Northern New Jersey. The task force will include the County Human Service providers for each county, the city of Paterson Human Services and Housing authority staff and nonprofits that work with veterans from each region.
Through the VA grant, CFCS will now be able to provide housing assistance for veterans in coordination with local organizations to assist the needs of veterans throughout Bergen, Passaic, Hudson, Morris, Sussex, Essex, and Union Counties. The grant is a part of the Supportive Services for Veterans Families (SSVF) Program that helps the VA in its fight against veteran homelessness and rapidly re-housing those who have recently fallen into homelessness.
Since 2011, CFCS has assisted veterans by finding housing for them and their families and through other various programs including assistance with healthcare, financial planning, transportation, childcare and legal services under its Community Support Services Department.
"Catholic Family and Community Service is excited to be able to continue to serve our veterans population," said Diane Silbernagel, Executive Director of Catholic Family and Community Services. "We believe that by combining resources from both of the Catholic Charities of Paterson and Newark we will provide a comprehensive array of services to veterans and their families."
This is the third year SSVF grants have helped veterans and their families find or remain in their homes. Last year, VA provided about $100 million to assist approximately 50,000 veterans and family members. Nearly 90 percent of the veterans who completed the program in 2012 transitioned to permanent housing. In 2009, President Obama and Secretary Shinseki announced the federal government's goal to end veterans' homelessness in 2015. This is the first year CFCS has applied for a grant that would be administered in Bergen, Passaic, Hudson, Morris, Sussex, Essex, and Union Counties.

I've lived in San Antonio some thirty years, and I'm still discovering little gems I didn't know existed! The historic Dashiell House is one of my recent finds.
It features gourmet food, a charming River Walk patio and a spectacular setting in an historic home built in the 1850's.
This place could be the perfecting setting for your next special event. The beautifully renovated building (owned by the San Antonio Conservation Society) has 18-foot tall ceilings, shuttered windows, two fireplaces and original wood trim.
The charming inside dining rooms seat about 65 guests, and there's even more room to be had on the beautiful patio situated on the quiet side of the River Walk by the Arneson Theater. Plus, the food is prepared by the talented chefs at the award winning Fig Tree Restaurant next door.
The Dashiell sits right across the walkway from the Little Church at La Villita and is perfect for wedding receptions, showers…any special occassion. If you'd like to see more, head to my website for a preview of the historic home. If you'd like to get more information about reserving the Dashiell House, call 210-225-2111.

Teenager Tegan Hughes acquired the most severe hairstyle of her life on Tuesday while hundreds of pupils at Malmesbury School cheered her on.
It took ten minutes for hairdresser Amanda Phillips to shave off Tegan's 18-inch locks on the school hall stage.
The 18-year-old of Stanton St Quintin made the sacrifice for charity in memory of her aunt Dorothy Evison, who died of cancer 13 years ago.
Tegan said: "For me this was very personal. I've always wanted do something to raise money for a cancer charity because of what happened to nana.
"I've been thinking about a sponsored head shave for some time – this was as good a time as any."
Tegan – known to her friends by her middle name Bekka – asked if she could have her head shorn in front of the school so she could collect more donations in a bucket.
The hall was packed for the lunch-time spectacle.
She said: "I was quite nervous earlier in the day but when it was time for the head shave I was more interested to see what I would look like.
"Everyone clapped while my hair was coming off – it was all very positive.
"I was a bit shocked when saw it in the mirror. After looking at it a couple of times it wasn't so bad. I'd been dying my hair blonde for a while but I'm dark again."
She raised around £200 for Cancer Research UK and her hair will go to the Little Princess Trust, which provides wigs for children who have lost their hair after contracting cancer.
Her brothers Jacob, 14, and Samuel, nine, both sponsored Tegan with their pocket money.
Her mother Susanne Hughes said: "It's a bit of a shock to see her like this, but it's still the same old Tegan.
"She told me a couple of weeks ago that she was going to do this. I'm very proud of her and I know her nana would have been, too."
After adding cash from the collection bucket to her sponsorship money Tegan has so far raised £287. Her target is £500 and people can donate at www.justgiving.com/Tegan-Bekka-Hughes/

New App for NYC Pre-K and Elementary School Info
With the DOE spewing out all sorts of data on our public schools in NYC, you would hope that some entrepreneuring person would put it all together and deliver it on a platform that parents could use. And, thankfully, someone has! And, not surprisingly, the someone who did is a parent of a 3 year old getting ready for Pre-K.
Edward Yau of Dendro Kids, has created Sage, a NYC public pre-k and elementary school search for the mobile web. You can search for your school by entering your address to find your zoned school and schools nearby. Want to know more? Find out the school's basic information, state exam results and NYC progress report grades. You can also search for schools by intersection, zip or name if you're just looking around. Tips about the admissions process are offered along the way.
Edward has entered his helpful app in the NYC Big Apps competition in hopes that it will win recognition. The NYC Big Apps competition is where the NYC administration releases data from city agencies and invites software developers to make innovative applications to improve the lives of NYC citizens. NYC Big Apps has received a record number of app submissions in this year's competition- but Edward's is the only app for NYC parents. Let's let Mayor Bloomberg know that we care about our NYC schools and vote for his application to win.
Voting ends on March 8th, so vote here for Sage and say that you care about NYC education.

Step Out Of The Black - Poem by Dawn Michelle
Painful intelligence
Is something you harbor
Your alibi is innocence
But that you have slaughtered
Death, your one hope
Or so it seems to you
With this life you must cope
Since none of it is through
You dream of silence
And ending it all
You feed off of violence
And a 'long lonely hall'
You love the dark sky
For its vast emptiness
With the stars you can hide
And forget all the rest
All alone you're content
Whether it should be this way
'From God you were sent'
With confidence I can say
As for your suicidal thoughts
Don't let them come back
Your blood has been bought
Now step out of the black

SAN DIEGO, California -- A former All-SWAC selection with Alabama State, Roderick Henderson is a small-school stud eager to make the jump to a much bigger stage in the NFL, one he would love to see set in Los Angeles.
"The Chargers are a great organization," Henderson said in an interview with Chargers Wire's lead contributor Austin Gayle Monday. "I think I would fit well in Los Angeles. I already played in the stadium they'll be playing in (StubHub Center), and I'd love to play there," Henderson opined.
The 6-foot-1, 352-pound monster totaled 35 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, six quarterback hurries and one sack in his senior season with the Hornets, leading to an invite to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.
Having suited up with legendary coach Mike Martz's National Team at the sixth annual all-star event, Henderson already had an opportunity to impress NFL personnel and draw a significant following at StubHub Center in late January.
Since then, Henderson has worked to refine his craft and continued to drive up his draft stock with a strong performance at his Pro Day in early March.

Kelly has leased space for his BCI Commercial Roofing Inc. from Castle, and the two firms have worked on a joint project at O'Hare International Airport. BCI has also worked as a Castle subcontractor and Castle helped guarantee a bond that BCI needed to get a contract at O'Hare.
State records show Castle is linked to yet another construction firm, MBB Construction, which also lists Blum as its president. MBB had not received any state contracts in recent years, until it won two worth up to $353,000 in the current fiscal year.

Boxes still remain to be unpacked, and the elevator isn't yet operating, but the Rensselaer County Regional Chamber of Commerce is settling into its new space in the Proctor's Theatre building in downtown Troy.
The raw space that chamber and public officials gathered in last winter to announce the move to Proctor's has been turned into state-of-the-art offices and conference rooms with smart TVs. Original hardwood floors were salvaged, refinished and reinstalled. Floor tiles in the main entrance match exterior tiles on the freshly restored building.
Inside, large windows provide views of the Fourth Street cityscape while letting in plenty of light. Light grey and pale yellow walls offset wood and glass doors.
The good news for chamber members: They'll be able to use the conference rooms and kitchenettes for meetings and conferences.
"We have 1,200 members, and 85 percent are small businesses," Chamber President Linda Hillman said during a tour Wednesday morning.
A bit of history reportedly occurred at the site of Hillman's office on the second floor. It was there in early 1965 that the first American radio listeners heard a recording of what would turn into one of the Rolling Stones' biggest hits, Satisfaction.
The space at the time was occupied by WTRY, then a Top 40 rock station, and one of its DJs had obtained a pre-release copy of the 45.
The chamber occupies 5,000 square feet on two floors. In all, the four-story building has 20,000 square feet of leasable space, not including the theater. Until the chamber's arrival over the Labor Day weekend, the building had been empty since the late 1970s.
Some in the city had sought to tear it down, arguing it had no future. But Hillman was grateful Wednesday that the building had been saved and is now being reused.
Columbia Development, the landlord, meticulously restored the facade, re-installing gargoyles and cleaning the tiles and bricks. It is talking with other potential tenants and its president, Joseph Nicolla, hopes that Proctor's and another structure Columbia restored, the Chasan building, will serve as catalysts for the revitalization of Fourth Street.

Chocolate cake is one of my favourite desserts, specifically black forest cake. While I love black forest cake I notice that I never eat the cherry filling. So I decided to make my own version of this classic cake and leave out the the tangy cherries. To make the chocolate cake (aka the best chocolate cake) I used this recipe. After the cake was completed, I iced it with whipped cream, and sprinkled the top with hershey kisses chocolate shavings. This was my first experience of baking a cake from scratch, and since it turned out so well I know it won't be my last handmade chocolate cake.

Trello is a Kanban-style project management tool that is a visual way to see all the tasks that you or your team need to accomplish, which makes it easier to see what everyone on the team is doing at a given time. It's also free, which means that it's accessible to small and large groups as well as to individuals run businesses or who want to track personal tasks. Among project management tools, Trello is one of the easiest ones to use and implement, but its blank-slate interface can be a bit daunting. Luckily, we have some tips to help you and your team get the most out of Trello, no matter what you're using it to track.

What is Kanban?

The Kanban style of project management is inspired by a Japanese manufacturing process that Toyota implemented in the late 1940's. Its aim was to increase efficiency in its factories by tracking inventory in real time, using cards that passed between workers on the floor. When a particular material ran out, workers would make a note of that on the card, which would make its way to the supplier who would then ship the requested material to the warehouse. These cards were often called Kanban, which means sign or billboard in Japanese.

So how does this translate to project management? Software like Trello takes this concept of passing around cards and puts it into a visual interface, where tasks are laid out on a board and matched with a team's work capacity. At its most basic, a board will have three sections, as shown in the image above: to do, doing (or in the process), and done. However, teams can use this tool in any way that works for them. Some teams may prefer a real board, while others want the convenience of a virtual solution, like Trello.

How to Use Trello

Trello utilizes boards, which contain lists, which are made up of cards. Boards can represent projects (website redesign, bathroom renovation), lists can be used for tasks (graphics, tiling), and cards can contain sub-tasks or options (hire a designer, tile sizes and colors).

Once you've decided how to organize your lists, you can start adding cards, which in turn can have checklists and labels. Checklists are a way to break down tasks into sub-tasks. For example, if you're using Trello to plan a vacation, you might have a card for a restaurant you want to try, with a checklist that includes making a reservation, researching the best dishes to get, and checking if it's child-friendly. Labels can be used to represent a card's status (approved, submitted, etc.) or category (science, technology, arts, etc.) or any tag you want. Then you can conduct a search that will bring up all science related cards or all approved cards, for example. You don't have to add a title to a label, though; you can also use them for color-coding (up to 10 colors are available; a color blind option is available).

As you start working on and completing tasks, you can easily drag and drop cards from one list to another, and eventually archive cards and lists once the interface becomes unwieldy.

You can assign cards to team members as well as add comments, file attachments, color-coded labels, and due dates. Team members can @ mention others in comments to start a conversation. You can upload files from your computer as well as from cloud storage services including Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive.

Also included is a nifty email integration. Each board has a unique email address that you can use to create cards (tasks). You can send attachments to that email address as well. And best yet, when you get an email notification, you can reply to it directly rather than launching Trello.

Notifications, including mentions and comments, are available from the mobile apps, a desktop browser, and via email. Trello has apps for iPhone, iPad, Android phones, tablets, and watches, and Kindle Fire tablets.

Trello offers more than 30 add-on features and integrations, which it calls power-ups. Examples of power-ups include a calendar view, a card repeater for recurring tasks, as well as integration with Evernote, Google Hangouts, Salesforce, and more. Free accounts include one power-up per board.

All of Trello's core features are free, though there is a paid version called Trello Gold ($5 per month or $45 per year) which adds some perks, including three power-ups per board (rather than one). It also includes attractive board backgrounds and stickers, custom emojis and larger attachments uploads (250 MB rather than 10 MB). Trello offers one free month of Gold membership for every person you get to join Trello, up to 12 months.

As we said, at first glance, setting up Trello is a bit intimidating because there aren't many restrictions on how you can use it. On the one hand, you can create boards that simply show what you've finished, what's you're working on, and what's next. On the other hand, you can go deeper, creating to-do lists divided into categories or departments.

You can use Trello to track anything from personal tasks to professional projects to event planning, but here are a few real-world examples to get you started.

Using Trello to Manage a Home Renovation

Let's say you're planning to renovate one or more rooms in your home. If you've ever survived a renovation, you know there are lots of moving parts, and plenty of surprises, no matter how carefully you prepare. Organizing all the decisions you need to make in Trello, can help keep the project on track. Let's say you're planning a kitchen renovation. In this case, you could create a board called Kitchen Renovation, and then add lists dedicated to each element that you're replacing.

The Kitchen Renovation board can include lists for:

Potential contractors

Each appliance that you're replacing

Cabinetry

Countertops and backsplash

Flooring

Plumbing

Electrical

The cards for each list would include the dimensions, budget, and must have features, as well as any models that you're considering. Cards for plumbing could include pipe replacement, new water line, as well as the estimated price, and related concerns, such as water shutdowns. You can easily attach images of the materials and appliances that you're considering, and link to product listings so you can price shop. Once you make a decision, you can use labels to name or color code the product or material.

Finally, for each card, you can create checklists. For example, a refrigerator card could have a checklist that includes disposal of the old refrigerator and installing a water line for the icemaker.

If you're renovating several rooms, just create a board for each one, and list out everything you need to consider; continually add lists and cards and move elements around as needed.

Invite other family members to your boards, and assign them cards to distribute the necessary work, such as product and pricing research, scheduling, and other logistics. Trello has a public home renovation board that you can copy to your own account.

Planning a Vacation with Trello

Traveling with several family members or friends can quickly get complicated. Use Trello to choose a destination, plan activities, and schedule transportation. In this case, you could have one board that contains possible places to visit, and another for the trip once you've decided where to go.

The Trip board can include lists for:

Flight options

Ground transportation

Hotels, Airbnb listings, cabin rentals, and camping sites

Tourist attractions

Restaurants and food stores

Under the potential destinations board, you would create a list for each place, with cards for travel time, budget, pros/cons, and any other considerations. The lists in the trip board would include cards for airlines, rental cars, notable cuisine in the area, and attractions such as museums, shopping, and neighborhoods to explore. If you decide to go on a cruise, you can create lists for things to do on board and for the planned stops, as well as the transportation necessary to get to the ship. Use labels to indicate chosen items, or to highlight contenders after you've narrowed your choices down. Add checklists to cards for booking and scheduling tours or cruise events. Trello also has a public vacation board that you can use as a starting point.

Tracking Personal Goals and Projects

Whether you're looking to clean out the clutter in your home or garage, take up a hobby, or exercise more, you can easily track it in Trello. Create boards for New Year's resolutions, or for multi-step projects, such as attic cleanout or home office organization.

For a resolutions board, create a list for each resolution, and then cards for how you can implement them, such as joining a gym, going for daily walks, or buying home exercise equipment. Use the lists on a personal project to break down the big tasks, with cards for sub-tasks. For example, a spring cleaning board could include lists for rooms and other areas of the home. Lists would have cards for associated tasks, such as cleaning supplies needed, an inventory of items you want to sell, donate, or throw out, and tasks you want to outsource such as window cleaning or tree removal.

Managing a Freelance or Consultancy Business

Finally, if you run your own business, Trello can be your top-notch assistant. Boards can represent projects, with lists for each stage or milestone, and cards for related tasks. Freelance writers can use Trello to manage story pitches and published works.

Let's say you have a project board for a website redesign. Your lists could include important tasks, such as hiring a designer and other important roles as well as milestones, such as choosing a color scheme, managing layouts, and getting approvals along the way. Cards would include proposed color schemes and layouts, and the steps needed to prepare for meetings. A freelance writer could have boards for story ideas, publications, and marketing. Lists can represent stages, such as in process, submitted, and published, or you can use labels to do that.

Trello is a simple, but powerful tool, and it's worth spending some time tinkering with it. If you're not sure where to begin, browse through Trello's user community, which includes public boards that you can copy to your account.

Making use of hospital interior design pictures and concepts
Making use of hospital interior design pictures and concepts
When planning for a hospital interior designing project, it is often wise to do as much research as you can on the concepts, designs and other ideas that can and are able to be used for a project from start to finish. One of them involves the use of hospital interior design pictures. These pictures are most helpful because they help tell the story and illustrate the story being before, during, and after the hospital interior design project is finished.
How hospital interior design pictures are used
Hospital interior design pictures are mainly used to illustrate the hospital interior design project as well as help sell an interior design company seeking services. They are always colorful and very professional looking, which is important when putting hospital interior design pictures on display at the center in which a project will be undertaken or online on a blog or website. Generally, because redesigned or designed healthcare facilities or departments are occupied after the projects are completed the photography needs to be done quickly, so its important to have high quality pictures taken as soon as it can be done and for use.
When the hospital interior design pictures are used for a project, they usually start out as sketches or ideas based on thoroughly research of the facility, what kinds of needs are being expressed, and sometimes based on other hospital interior design picture ideas that have been found in other magazines or online or previously done before. The sketches that are created for the hosptial interior design project range from the simple to the complex. More than one sketch is drawn and the one most-liked will be chosen for the project.
Along with hand-drawn sketches, a hospital interior designer is also able to create computer-generated hospital interior design pictures on the computer. This is where a background in graphic design can also be helpful because using computer programs to create hospital interior design pictures requires some knowledge of the program as well as computer experience. Programs that can be used to create hospital interior design pictures include such examples as: 3D Canvas, Blender, DX Studio, and OpenFX. These programs can be found online and downloaded for free.
If a hospital is going to be redesigned, oftentimes hospital interior design pictures are taken before the remodeling begins. This gives a visual idea of what can be changed or not including color, furniture, rearrangement and additions. Sometimes hospital interior design pictures can be taken during the project to document progression. Once the project is finished, of course taking hospital interior design pictures is also imperative because it helps sell the designer, products used, as well as attract future hospital interior design ideas and interest.
What is really cool about hospital interior design pictures and sketches is that they can be used for ideas when designing homes, apartments, offices, etc. They can also be used for an interior design portfolio to help promote the designer for future jobs, in interviews for points of reference on previous projects, and even for projects and examples for interior design classes. If a hospital administrator is considering using a hospital interior design company for their facility, looking at hospital interior design pictures will also give them ideas about what they are looking for but also whether or not after talking with the designer if they are open to doing the design just like the picture or be open to ideas using the hospital interior design picture as the basis for a design.
Are floor plans also considered hospital interior design pictures?
While sketches and actual pictures can be used for hospital interior design pictures, floor plans can also be considered as hospital interior design pictures. When seeking to start a hosptial inteior design project, the floor plan is the most important element overall because it helps change the design and construction of the area being designed. It also helps with the implementation of sculptures and other art and architecture that can be used in the design space.
Where to find examples of hospital interior design pictures
Hospital interior design pictures can be found virtually everywhere, especially online. These pictures are colorful and are professionally done by the hospital interior designers themselves as well as by professional interior design photographers who are hired to take them. It's interesting looking at the array of pictures and styles to help brainstorm an forumulate ideas for projects and designs.
As far as the Internet is concerned, besides Google, hospital interior design pictures can be found on interior design blogs such as yanko design, design spotter, and better living through design. Many interior design companies are currently online and have shown off their examples with success on their websites or even as pictures for articles talking about the hospital or health care center that they designed, what materials and inspiration were used, etc. These are not only US-based companies, they are also companies based in other countries such as South Korea, India, and parts of Europe.
Whether it is before and after pictures or floor plans, hospital interior design pictures are key illustrations for hospital interior designing. These pictures tell an illustrated story of changes, color, and other elements that are involved with the design space that needs designing or even redesigning in most instances. They are fascinating to look at and sometimes help with ideas for other interior designs and coloring of spaces and rooms personally and professionally.
In order to express one's creativity, hospital interior design pictures help accentuate this artistic expression visually. Since interior designing in general is a creative art-form, hospital interior designing in general is another forum and aspect of it. The more visually appealing one can design and create inspiration for hospitals and health care settings, the more successful they will be using the aids of floor plans, color, types of furniture, and of course the nuance that the health care facility wants to add or needs in the space. With the use of hosptial interior design pictures, these ideas can be realized further and can help with the continuation and success of the hospital interior design industry as a whole.

Funny: Microsoft Admits MSNbot is Slow !!
We all know that Bing, the search engine from Microsoft indexes web pages at a slower rate than most of the other search engines (G and Y !! for instance).
But it's interesting to note that even Microsoft admits the truth about their MSNbot 2.0 which they introduced in November 2009.
Brett Yount, Program Manager @ Bing Webmaster Center replies to the question put forward by an Indian webmaster about only one page of his site being indexed at Bing webmaster community forum.
See his reply in the below screen shot.
It is well known in the industry that MSNbot is fairly slow
It's indeed very much true that Bing indexing is too slow and never indexes a site properly.The good example to quote here would be our Techrena itself.
See these screen shots:
Google shows that it has indexed about 125 pages of Techrena.net
Bing Indexing: Indexed only 9 pages, out of which 3 are sitemaps !! and this has been static for more than 2 months now.
Perhaps it's the time Microsoft should really think about increasing the indexing capability of MSNbot (for including in Bing).Are they listening??

Day 34: Melting
very nice, mellow last day. Began gorgeously sunny too - so soaked up
some last views of the amazing snow-capped mountains surrounding the sawmill.
Began the day by fishing the container with the gold in out of the furnace.
It was an exciting moment! Would it have spoiled? Would it have vapourised?
Would it even have melted?
B delved in - and bought out the crucible:- intact! Inside was a lovely
green, glassy solid. We could see small bits of gold glinting inside -
but lots of them. So, maybe it hadn't even melted!? J bashed the
glassy stuff, and out fell some beautiful blobs of gold, that clearly
had melted. We were all so pleased! In spite of all our worries - it had
got to temperature! I ground down the glass and gold. Ellen panned it
- and got out satisfying amounts of gold. Jonathan went off to try use
a ceben arc to re-melt the gold, to get it into more bits. The two Mikes
got the furnace re-stoked in case Jonathan's idea didn't work.
Ellen and I got on with our earrings. We based it on the spiral of a fern-heat
- the start of the growth of a punga form. It's a Maori symbol for
"life". We tapped out spiral patterns and toyed with the idea
of using garnets. When we finally tried them on, they looked surprisingly
good! I never wear gold jewellery - but I love our hammered-out gold!
idea worked. His biggest problem was containing the gold. At 1062oC,
it melted or set fire to everything it was in contact with! Once melted,
J painstakingly filed the gold down. He drew a Maori shape that was close
to the shape the gold had naturally formed, and, just like me and Ellen,
worked with it. So we all finished up. The Mikes stopped working the furnace,
Ellen and I finished early, and it was just left to J to file his gold.
Not much we could do to help The weather had closed in, the rain had begun
and we all sat, wrapped up snug in the coffee room, savouring the last
moments of the sawmill (or in some cases, snoring through them).
J finally finished
his gold creation. A beautiful Maori 'shrimp'. So, two earrings
and a gold pendant after six weeks' gold panning. Phew! Very relieved
that they actually looked quite lovely.

Nice review here of the Audi TTS.
Choosing the S version of any Audi is like ordering a large combo meal – it avails you of more of everything. Your grand hunger for speed, handling and details is meant to be sated by more horses, a better suspension and sharpened bodywork. The TTS addresses this under the hood by adding dollop of forced-induction goodness to the already turbocharged 2.0T FSI engine, juicing its numbers by 65 hp and 51 lb-ft of torque over the base TT for a total of 265 hp @ 6,000 RPM and 258 lb-ft @ 2,500 RPM. The 3.2-liter V6 TT is also down, by 15 hp and 22 lb-ft. Outside, the TT S lords its burliness over both its staid siblings with an angrier front fascia, rear skirts and rocker panels, chrome mirror accents and 18-inch split-spoke wheels.
Starting from the outside, one of the endearing qualities of the TT family is the perfect mix of spatial contradictions. We think of it as a small car, which lends itself to the idea of being a sports car. Yet it isn't that small – it's two feet longer than a MINI and 18 inches shorter than a G37 Coupe. Open the door and the cabin appears half buried in the ground, and small to boot. In truth, the car is no hassle to get into, and the cabin feel is just the right kind of enveloping: well and truly roomy yet still cozy, even intimate. The seats carry you far in comfort. The controls are merely a thought and a modest reach away.
