Melanie Gilligan, The Common Sense: Episode 1 (2014)
This article marks the online premiere of Melanie Gilligan's The Common Sense: Episode 1, which will also show on our front page through Thursday, May 16. The full series will be available online on June 11, 2015 at thecommonsense.org.
Last week for Rhizome I wrote about some qualitative changes effected by Airbnb on the city of Berlin, referring to a quantitative survey called "What do the data say?" to get a grasp of the lived reality of the "sharing" economy and the labor it entails. This week, I refer to the most recent video project by Canadian artist Melanie Gilligan, The Common Sense, for an entirely different way of making meaning from this reality—not in an analytical sense, but in a speculative one.

We may have missed the message from Confucius given more than 2,000 years ago: "The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home."
Alleviating suffering while creating conditions for the people of the world to flourish along with preserving the planet are tall orders. We are routinely reminded by politicians and pundits that the solutions to such issues are only to be found in big government and big international institutions. While governments and institutions play important roles, we may have missed the message from Confucius given more than 2,000 years ago: "The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home." I have often wondered why Confucius chose "integrity of the home" for his description.
Saving the people of the world and the planet is actually a cottage industry. It starts in homes and families and communities, not in large bureaucratic buildings.
Not all homes are the same. The people who occupy any particular home vary widely. The structural integrity of the home, however, is made up of core principles, values and personal responsibility. If such morals are not taught and learned in the home, it matters little what government laws or regulations require — the structural integrity of the home will, under pressure, be compromised and the strength of the nation will be diminished and eventually destroyed.
Russell M. Nelson, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, recently admonished members around the world to live Christ-centered lives in a home-centered, church-supported approach to worship and devotion. He recognizes the need to fortify the moral structural integrity within homes.
Sheri Dew, executive vice president of Deseret Management Corporation, once described the need for such structural integrity by describing the fatal flaws of the world's first jet airliner, the British-made de Havilland Comet.
"When the Comet was introduced in 1949, the future seemed bright for jet travel and the Comet was the undisputed, front-and-center leader — until three Comets unexpectedly disintegrated in flight, killing all aboard. The planes were grounded as puzzled engineers worked feverishly to understand why they had operated flawlessly at first, only to break apart later in midair. The engineers set up a fuselage in a large pool and pumped water in and out, simulating the effects of repeated cabin pressurization. At first, the experiment revealed nothing, nothing at all. But over time the pressurized circumstances yielded a startling discovery. The repeated stress caused small, microscopic cracks to form around the rectangular windows, cracks that would eventually widened into gaping holes. The planes could not withstand repeated pressure. They lacked structural integrity, and the pressurized circumstances revealed what the Comet was at its core — a bright shiny pretender that was not secure or safe."
Creating a safe and secure world will require significant repair to the structural integrity of homes across the country and around the world. Such repairs cannot be outsourced to government agencies, signed into existence by the executive branch or voted into being by Congress.
Recent events in Washington show how destructive politicians can be to the nation while ignoring the power of the immense strength of structural integrity in the homes of the American people.
While the intense and ugly battle to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh raged on, political parties raised money, ranted for hours and railed against the opposition. Absolutely absent from the conversation were any mention of the principles, values and personal responsibilities central to the cause of the calamity.
Far from the lights and cameras and removed from the divisive rhetoric, however, families sat around kitchen tables and in living rooms to talk about issues that would not only preserve the structural integrity of their lives and homes, but of the nation.
At home, underage and binge drinking were actually discussed. At home, conversations were happening about premarital sex, unsupervised parties, consent and respect for women and men. From these pages, Christian Sagers raised a critical question for every home to consider about what he termed as the real "con job" of the Kavanaugh hearings — the notion the nation has embraced that sex has become a commodity rather than a sacrament.
More homes having these simple conversations could be transformational for individual lives and for the country. The Supreme Court nomination process could have been an entirely different discussion.
Governments have limits. Homes with this type of integrity have immense power to influence neighborhoods and communities.
Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelves Apostles of the church recently spoke to the G20 Interfaith Forum on how the individuals in strong homes and communities do far more to impact real lives than government ever could. In describing the church's self reliance program, he said, "In just three-and-a-half years, over 700,000 participants have taken a course, including thousands from other faiths. In Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay alone, almost 7,000 business have been started or improved, over 4,200 individuals have found a new or better job, about 1,500 participants completed a personal financial course, and approximately 7,000 others started an education with a career goal. From data we collected from participants in just these four South American countries, 40 percent reported increasing their income after attending a self-reliance group, 37 percent increased their savings, and 54 percent decreased their consumer debt."
Countless other examples show that home truly is where principles and values are taught, where character is forged and where personal responsibility is practiced. Confucius, from his 2,000-year-old perch, was right: "The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home."
Save the world? Start at home.

The CLIP image viewer provides a convenient way to view and search copies of the Mercantile Navy List (MNL).
You can search for the entries for a particular ship, and browse through page-by-page. For editions after 1870, MNL was divided into two sections - steam and sail and, from 1920 onwards, a section for motor vessels was added. You can search in a different section, change to another year, or change the name of the vessel you are searching for.
The current year and page are shown on the title bar, together with the name and type of ship that you were searching for.
The control bar on the top right of the image is used to control the image.
You can change the magnification of the image by clicking the and icons, or by clicking or right-clicking on the image itself.
The current page is shown on the control bar. To move from one page to the next, use the icons next to the page box. To go to a particular page, enter the page number into the box and click the button
To change to a different year or type of vessel, or to search for a different name, click the button on the title bar.
For images from Google Books, we use Google's own image viewer, which has its own controls at the top right.The Google Books image viewer has its own built-in search facility. This will search the whole document, not just vessel names, so may produce unexpected results, but can also be used to search for people's names, for example.
Our own CLIP images were made at the Maritime Collection at Southampton Central Library, the Bartlett Library at the National Maritime Museum, Cornwall in Falmouth, Gwynedd Archives Service in Caernarfon and Gwynedd Archives Service in Dolgellau. We are most grateful to the staff of these repositories for their kind help.
We have tried hard to present the images as well as possible, but obviously we can take no responsibilty for the images from other sources. Some of the images are missing, partially missing, blurred, or rotated so that they are difficult to view. Some editions are so tightly bound that it is not possible to make good images of the gutter margin of some pages. We apologise for any difficulties this may cause. We are trying to remedy this where we can, but we feel that those images are still worth displaying. For rotated images, the best solution in the short-term is to right-click on the image, copy it, paste it into your favourite image viewer and rotate it there. This can also a good way to save or print out a copy of the image.

General Motors is selling a new line of cars now, ones aimed at introductory or first-time car buyers. They're fairly easy to maintain, with things like the oil dipstick painted fluorescent orange so it's easy to find, and the radiator cap bright blue, and so forth. They're marketed as low-cost, low-maintenance vehicles for people who've never owned a new car before, or just want something simpler and less complicated.
They have all the same safety features as most new cars, including seat belts, anti-lock brakes and both passenger- and driver-side air bags. The bags are triggered by an impact anywhere from the front left quarter-panel around the front all the way to the front right quarter-panel. They're the typical gas-bubble-type air bags you see in movies or commercials — nothing new or innovative, and in fact quite ordinary.
The odd thing about the air bags is, they're actually disabled when you buy the car. You can activate them manually, if you see you're going to be in an accident, by reaching across to the passenger's side of the car, opening the glove box and holding down the "air bag enable" button inside there. Keep that button pressed throughout the crash, and the air bags will deploy as soon as the sensors in the frame are triggered.
Of course, you can hard-wire the air bags to an activated state too, although that's a little bit advanced, and requires a little know-how.
It might strike you as odd that someone would have to manually enable the air bags. It's a safety feature, true. But the car was designed by a team of engineers who have had experience driving, building and designing cars for decades. The original Model T, built by Henry Ford himself, didn't have air bags, and the design team decided that while they're a useful and interesting safety feature, the car really shouldn't deviate from the plan set up by Ford decades ago. It's a mix of tradition and function.
And since air bags only protect you in a crash that originates from the front end of the car, air bags aren't going to save you in every situation. If you're broadsided in an accident, you'll probably still be killed, so the air bags didn't do anything to help anyway. Disabling them just makes more sense. Or would you prefer the entire car was lined with air bags, to protect you from any impact, from any direction? Effectively insulating you from any possible bad thing that might happen? That's impractical, and only shows how little you understand about car design.
And really, driving a car is a dangerous thing to be doing in the first place. You shouldn't get behind the wheel of a car unless you know exactly where you're going, how to get there, traffic patterns, rules of the road, etc. So in general, you'd do better to leave driving to experts, like the design team, or perhaps just take the bus. Eventually you'll be experienced enough to know good driving from bad driving, and then you won't need to worry about crashing. None of the design team ever worries about crashing, unless it's on purpose.
But overall — and this is the most important point — the design team feels if none of those options works, then perhaps motorized transportation isn't really for you. You should really consider alternative ways of getting to work.
Ironically, or perhaps not ironically, a number of Japanese and Korean car manufacturers have matched the General Motors designs with cars of their own. They're stylish, shiny and clean, a little more petite and a little less expensive, but with all the same features, bells and whistles as the GM versions. For all practical purposes, the two cars work the same and do the same thing. In fact, looking at one, you might not be able to tell it from its Detroit counterpart.
The foreign models, however, reverse the logic when it comes to air bags. The air bags are enabled for a crash through the same region — from quarter-panel to quarter-panel — and there's a manual override on the dashboard. It's two buttons this time: one you press to activate the air bag kill switch, and a second that confirms it. Holding both of those buttons down during a crash prevents the air bags from deploying.
The logic here is that, as a first-time car buyer, you're probably more interested in safety and security than you are about traditional car design. Henry Ford's original car is important, but not necessarily the only way to do business. Enabling that safety feature by default is a boon and a selling point to a first-time car buyer. But if you happen to be suicidal, or an adrenaline junkie, or just one of those people genetically predisposed toward risk-taking behavior, you can still override the air bags and end your life in complete control — one hand on the steering wheel, and two fingers on those buttons.
And the foreign car makers know that you're the owner of the car, and you're going to do with it whatever you will. Chances are you just want to commute in an orderly and slow fashion twice a day, then park your car in the garage and go back to your life. For most first-time car owners, it's a tool and not so much a toy. So those air bags might never need to be deployed at all. But for the one or two times when something goes wrong, either through error or through someone else's misbehavior, it's good to have them.
The foreign car companies acknowledge that air bags won't save you in every crash. They also acknowledge that there's no point in going overboard and lining every square centimeter of the car with air bags, coating the door, the handles, the steering wheel and the windshield with bubble wrap so you don't hit your head. But they do like the idea that, in a situation where you're driving and someone collides with you (perhaps on purpose, like those risk-takers), you have that small added feature of protection.
So that's where I am with the default behavior of rm. Reversing the Ubuntu default wouldn't change the function at all. It wouldn't prevent rm from doing its job, it doesn't involve rewriting rm at all, nothing would change and there would still be ways circumvent it.
It might offend some UNIX purists, but preserve-root is already the default in a lot of other distros — including, as Luke mentioned, Solaris 10, Arch Linux and even the dead Lowarch distro — and there doesn't seem to be any uproar over that.
The only thing it would do is insulate one random Ubuntu newcomer from deleting their entire system. It's not perfect and there are lots of ways around it, but doesn't one small safety feature enabled at the start make more sense?

Building Up Catholic Culture in Kansas
Benedictine College is bringing some of the best of today's Catholic thinking to the public through its Gregorian Institute.
T he feast of St. Gregory the Great on Sept. 3 saw Benedictine College formally launch its new Gregorian Institute and Gregorian Fellowship program.
Through the Gregorian Institute, the college, in Atchison, Kan., will try to renew Catholic culture and freedom of religious expression by promoting Catholic identity in public life.
Naming the new institute after the great Benedictine Pope was a natural for the college, according to Tom Hoopes, who founded the institute, and Joseph Wurtz, dean of students.
Hoopes, who is vice president of college relations and Benedictine's writer in residence, said the college wants to present to students St. Gregory's appreciation for truth, beauty and goodness as well as his example of strong, practical leadership.
"He lived out this charism of leadership," Wurtz said. "We're engaging the culture using our skills and talents for the common good and want to raise up individuals to character, competence and commitment to greatness. Who better represents that?"
The Gregorian Institute is already moving into high gear with its next issue of The Gregorian, a digest of speeches given on campus, a speakers program, conferences and white papers — not to mention its undergraduate Gregorian Fellowship program.
The Gregorian and the white papers are meant to help leaders in all walks of life. Hoopes said the idea is to nail down the principles of Catholic identity in different disciplines "so people in the professions can discuss what it means to be a Catholic and be true to your Catholic identity in your profession."
A four-year Gregorian Fellowship program will help introduce 25 students drawn from each class to classical thought on leadership as well as truth, beauty and goodness "and also get them to meet Catholics who are at the top of their profession and enthusiastic about their Catholic identity," Hoopes said. While the general public will be able to hear prominent Catholic speakers on campus, Gregorian Fellows will get to speak with them on a more intimate level. They have already met with Princeton University professor Robert George.
"The institute and fellowship offers great opportunity to interface with these intellectual giants who are out to engage the culture for the better," said Wurtz.
Recent speakers have included Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, Ave Maria University's new president, H. James Towey, Vienna Cardinal Christoph Schönborn and Jesuit Father Robert Spitzer. Upcoming speakers include papal biographer George Weigel.
Gregorian Fellows will also look at the various dimensions of leadership from sources such as the classics of literature, politics and spirituality and involvement in campus activities; they will also have lunch with Benedictine's president, Stephen Minnis, to talk about issues of the day.
Faith in Life
But the Gregorian Institute isn't intended just to build Catholic leadership for the fellows and students on campus. The Gregorian is free for anyone who wants to subscribe and so are the white papers, soon to be posted on the institute's website, TheGregorian.org.
The aim of the white papers, written by Catholic professional leaders, is to help Catholics live their faith and Catholic identity in their fields. What does it mean to be a Catholic nurse, engineer or lawyer? The first paper will be on "Blessed Cardinal Newman and Conscience."
"With the white papers, we're starting a discussion we hope will be at the service of the Church," Hoopes said.
Hoopes explained that the Second Vatican Council sought to help people integrate their faith life with their life in the world.
"That remains a big problem in our day too — the problem," he stressed. "We help to find ways for people to be proud of being Catholic and really grow in effectiveness and confidence through their faith. Our faith in the public square makes a difference."
As an aid, The Gregorian features crucial speeches by top Catholics who examine the critical issues that confront our country and world using faith and reason.
The institute also hopes to reach teenagers. In the works is a Ten Commandments series for Catholic high schools (that can be downloaded as a free poster) to introduce teens to Catholic-identity issues.
Freshman fellows like Vincent Petruccelli of Rockville. Md., are excited about the prospects.
He said applying for the fellowship "confirmed my choice of Benedictine, in that it was such an awesome opportunity" to write essays examining what our role as Catholics in society is, what the role of the Church is, and what bringing our Catholic beliefs into society means in our personal lives.
Petruccelli enjoys the fellowship with 24 other freshmen whose faith is important to them. He's already eagerly looking forward to the fellowship's examination of Shakespeare and Dostoyevsky, scheduled for March.
Robert George himself showed great enthusiasm for Benedictine's mission.
"It is confident in its Catholic identity and at the same time enthusiastically engaged with the larger intellectual culture," he wrote on the Mirror of Justice blog Sept. 2. "Its leadership is bright, dedicated, deeply faithful and remarkably youthful. If Benedictine College and schools like it are the future of Catholic higher education in the United States — and I believe they are — then the Church and the world will be very well served indeed."
Hoopes, who joined Benedictine's staff in 2009 after some 10 years as editor of the Register, sees the success of the college prefiguring what the Gregorian Institute can accomplish. He called the school a textbook example of how being faithful to Catholic identity can transform an organization. Ever since Blessed John Paul II promulgated Ex Corde Ecclesiae, a document on how Catholic identity is integral to Catholic higher education, Benedictine has undergone a renaissance. In 1991 it had the
lowest enrollment in its 150-year history, with 572 full-time undergrads. Today, the number of new students on campus is greater
than the total number of students
in 1991.
"By all the data you look at," Hoopes noted, "absolutely the reason we're so successful is our fidelity to our Catholic identity."
The Gregorian Institute hopes to bring that same kind of success by forming leaders to bring Catholic identity into the public square, similar to the impact of the former Ignatius Institute started by Jesuit Father Joseph Fessio, which Hoopes attended; he and his fellow students became editors at the Register, Our Sunday Visitor and Catholic World Report.
"By focusing on the truth of the faith and giving us confidence in our Catholic identity," Hoopes assessed, "that program did more than it ever expected to do. We hope we can do the same with the Gregorian Institute."
Register staff writer Joseph Pronechen is based in Trumbull, Connecticut.

Re: For newcomers..........
Hi I'm a new homesteads in Denmark. Dh and I have 10 cows mostly jerseys or mixed. One has a cleft palate so we made him a pet ox and plan on him dragging logs and firewood for us to save dh back. We also have 2 pet pygmy Nubian goats, 2 turkeys and 3 chickens who are going to be dinner if the laying isn't better this year. Seriously the turkeys gave me less than 10 eggs and I think dh bought 2 pretty chickens aka roosters and the one that was laying got fed up and quit after maybe ten or so eggs too. Our homestead is organic and we have a lovely young orchard and huge strawberry patch. I'm looking forward to learning a lot here. Thanks

Remembering Jimmy Armfield, Two Years On
22 Jan 2020 09:21 am, by YorkshireSquare
It is two years to the day since we lost one of Leeds United's greatest managers and one of football's nicest men, Jimmy Armfield.
Armfield was born in Denton Manchester on 21st September 1935 and moved with his family to Blackpool at an early age. He signed for Blackpool in September 1954 after being spotted in a practice match at Bloomfield Road by then Manager Joe Smith. He made his League debut on 27th December 1954 at Portsmouth and after making just two appearances in the 1954-55 season quickly established himself as the club's first choice right-back in the following season. This started his long association with the club which culminated in him being the holder of the Bloomfield Road club's appearance record with five hundred and sixty eight League games, in which he managed six goals.
Armfield was voted Young Player of the Year in 1959. In 1966, he narrowly lost out to Bobby Charlton for the Footballer of the Year award and had to content himself with being Blackpool's Player of the Year. Although Blackpool were a consistent First Division club they never won any honours until after they had been relegated in 1966/67 and the loyal full-back was part of the 1969/70 promotion-winning team who fought their way back into the top flight as runners-up. Unfortunately the club again suffered relegation in Armfield's final season with them before retirement in 1970/71 after seventeen years loyal service to the one club, who he played six hundred and twenty-seven times in all competitions.
Armfield won forty-three caps for England between 1959 and 1966, and captained his country on fifteen occasions. He made his international debut on 13th May 1959, against Brazil in front of over 120,000 fans. He played in the 1962 World Cup in Chile, where he was acclaimed as "the best right-back in the world". He was also voted "best right-back in Europe" between 1962 and 1964. He was included in the 1966 World Cup-winning squad but missed out on the tournament through injury. He also represented the Football League twelve times and gained nine Under-Twenty-three caps for his country.
Gentleman Jim took his first steps into football management with Third Division Bolton Wanderers and got them to seventh place in his first season of 1971-72 and soon tasted success the following season when they finished up as the Champions of Division Three and were duly promoted to the Second Division, where he consolidated with an eleventh position finish. After the turmoil at Leeds caused by the Clough debacle it was understandable that the club did not rush headlong into another disaster. The board deliberated before appointing the quiet, unassuming and immaculate temperament possessing ex-England Captain. On the one hand he certainly had an excellent football brain and a calming influence, but was relatively untried as an elite Manager.
As it turned out he was just what Leeds required in their hour of need and soon after he took over the club's position improved. While the atrocious start they had made to the League season would inhibit their ability to mount any challenge for the League Championship. Therefore Armfield concentrated on the European Cup. He made few changes to the playing staff in his first season and relied upon the hunger of the older players to take them to the their first European Cup Final with a string of outstanding performances. He achieved what Don Revie had not been able to do but luck was not on United's side in the Final with Bayern Munich in Paris.
In the aftermath of the defeat there was a riot by the hooligan element of the supporters and only a well-reasoned defence by Armfield at the UEFA hearing managed to cut down United's ban in Europe from four years to two. There was also a fifth place in the League as he relied on the old guard. It fell to his task to dismantle the ageing Revie team of heroes of the Glory Years. He quietly and efficiently released Terry Cooper, Johnny Giles, Billy Bremner, Norman Hunter and, due to barracking by the fans, Terry Yorath.
He brought in the immensely popular and talented Tony Currie from Sheffield United, Welsh midfielder Brian Flynn and striker Ray Hankin from Burnley and flying Scottish winger Arthur Graham from Aberdeen. Leeds reached the Semi-Finals of the FA Cup in 1977 and a steady tenth in the League. A place in the League Cup Semi-Finals in 1978 and a solid ninth in the League was not good enough for the success-hungry board and although Armfield had, with the help of his able coach Don Howe, moulded United into a solid dependable team capable of better things, he was dismissed at the end of the season and replaced by Jock Stein.
The Leeds post was Armfield's final managerial role, and he decided to work in radio. He became best known as a match summariser for BBC Radio Five Live. He also became a consultant with the Football. In 2000 he was awarded an OBE and in 2004 he was appointed a Deputy Lieutenant of his home county of Lancashire. In 2005–2006 he served as High Sheriff of Lancashire. Armfield was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2010 New Year's Honours list for services to the community in Lancashire. The South Stand at Bloomfield Road, which was opened on 20 March 2010, was named the "Jimmy Armfield South Stand". A life-size statue of Armfield was unveiled on 1st May 2011 at Bloomfield Road.
After a long and courageous battle with cancer Armfield passed away at the age of 82 at Trinity Hospice in Blackpool on 22nd January 2018. On that day Leeds United lost one of their greatest managers and football one of its greatest voices.

12 Awesome Server Admin Apps for Windows Phone 7
Previously, we looked we looked at server admin apps for the iOS and Android mobile operating systems. Now, we'll look at some server and administration apps for the Windows Phone 7 platform. These apps are designed for monitoring, remote desktop management, database administration and a variety of other server-related tasks.
1. Pingdom Pulse
Pingdom Pulse (Free) provides access to your free or paid Pingdom account, a hosted third-party server monitoring service. You can view a summary of all your Pingdom checks, including current status and response time. You can also see a summary of the past 30 days performance for each check. Additionally, you can run manual checks on any http server.
2. Mobile Server Stats
Mobile Server Stats ($1.99 after trial) provides remote real-time monitoring stats of a Windows Server or PC when its free server component is installed on the computer. Get standard statistics (e.g., on system, CPU, drives, processors, services, running processes, users and groups) and add custom WMI queries. It also includes simple HTTP server monitoring. You can view real-time statistics or cached polls stored on the computer.
3. Network Tools
Network Tools (Free ad-based or $2.99) uses a remote server to run pings, TCP port connection tests and HTTP/HTTPS connection tests. It also provides a graphical display of their ping, port 80 and HTTP response statuses. Remember, a remote server is used, so it can't reach local resources; they must be accessible via the Internet.
4. Wake My PC
Wake My PC (Free) lets you remotely boot up computers via the Wake-On-LAN (WOL) protocol. This is especially useful if you must remotely access files or connect via remote desktop. You must configure your compatible computer (in the BIOS) and network to use WOL. Then, simply enter in the computer's MAC address and Internet IP info.
5. Mobile DDNS
Mobile DDNS ($0.99) is a DDNS client for your phone to update DDNS providers: DynDNS, NameCheap and ZoneEdit. This is great if you must connect to your phone via the Internet. You don't have to find and track your public IP. Just use the host name from a DDNS provider, and it will always point to your phone.
6. Cool Remote
Cool Remote (Free) is used to remotely connect to and control a Windows (XP/2003/Vista/2008) machine running its free server application from your phone or any other computer via the web browser. It features full PC keyboard support (including ctrl, alt, shift, tab, esc, win, fn, home and end) and multi-monitor support. You can input connection details or scan the local network to find the PC.

While I wasn't able to make it to the 2014 Cattle Industry Convention in Nashville, TN, I've still been able to follow all of the action on the BEEF magazine Facebook and Twitter pages. BEEF Senior Associate Editor Jamie Purfeerst has been busy tweeting, photos photos and uploading new information on Facebook as the convention has unfolded to keep all of us back home posted about the ins and outs of this annual event.
Yesterday, I felt like I was sitting next to the 8,000 cattle men and women who have come together for the big event. If you're on social media, you can continue to watch updates as they unfold. If not, I've rounded up some of the best social media updates for you to look through this morning.
See This Photo Gallery: Cattlemen Meet In Tennessee For The 2014 Cattle Industry Convention
Here is a round-up of 10 interesting tweets from around the convention:

2. @REAL_BEEFMAN The #PetersonFarmBros perform their hit parody Chore at the opening general session of #beefmeet w/ @gregpeterson33
3. @sierra_jepson Lessons from Captain Phillips: when you are in a tough situation, it's best to pray for strength and patience rather than rescue. #beefmeet
4. @karajo26 At retail meat case, most consumers don't look at $/lb., they look at total $/package. Good #beef merchandising matters. #beefmeet
5. @erica_davis8 We need to be #BeefCommanders and show consumers that we care. Best statement I've heard. #beefmeet
6. @TierraMay "If you love what you're doing, there's no work involved." - Rooter Brite #CIC14 #beefmeet

Finally, I want to extend my deepest condolences and prayers to the family of Glenn and Elaine Mull, Amy Harter, and Samantha Harter, who passed away in a tragic plane crash on their way to the 2014 Cattle Industry Convention. The family is a prominent beef industry family from Kansas. You can read about the tragedy here.
As I understand it, the family was given a lovely tribute last night at the convention. It's so great to be a part of an industry that rallies around its own. God bless the Mull family during this tragic time, and be sure to keep them in your prayers.
Are you at the convention? What's your favorite feature so far? What are you looking forward to most in the next couple of days?

Farewell 2016 you horrible horrible year!
This spoof trailer kind of sums it up but 2016 was not such a great year. And a few more people were lost since it was made like Carrie Fisher and Richard Adams just a few days ago who, perhaps, is not as well known but was a very influential writer for me. He wrote Watership Down a childhood favorite book of mine. He gave me a love for rabbits. As you can see in the image from Singularity of Kumiko below I put in his book as one the things strewn about at the accident scene. If you have not read it then I would suggest picking it up. Also here in Canada we lost Leonard Cohen whose music, lyrics and poetry I admired greatly. And then at the start of the year my Father died of ALS which Trumps them all (no pun intended)
But then I prefer a glass half full. There have been some great things happening in 2016. While it was too late for my father thanks to the ice bucket challenge the gene responsible for ALS has been found, meaning we are closer to an effective treatment. Hmm well there was a significant increase in tiger numbers for the first time in a century. Scientists figured out how to link robotic limbs with the part of the brain that deals with intent to move so people don't have to think about how they will move the limb, it can just happen.
Child mortality is down across the planet, the ozone layer is repairing itself, A 4-year old befriends a lonely man and helpedhim heal after losing his wife
new Star Wars movies are being made that don't suck, two Olympic runners collided and fell as one struggled to rise from the track the other stopped to encourage her opponent knowingly forfeiting her chance for a medal with the delay. And tons of other things no doubt. Happy new year everyone.

"Hand" opens December 10th.
I would like to thank everyone who voted for me at the AVI awards. I won both the Favorite Machinima Artist and Favorite Artist categories.
Hand will open tomorrow December 10th. Phemie's mixer exploded so she can't play for the opening but will instead play live at 2pm SLT on the 18th of December (Sunday). Again I would like to thank Phemie for composing a song for the machinima trailer based on conversations we had about the story for Hand. I think she did a fantastic job absorbing the mood and it was a pleasure to create the trailer around her song. The musician named Haze was also very helpful by layering in ambient sound to Phemies track. Great job you two. I also would like to thank Bellimora, a wonderfully talented scripter, who made the hud for the work and essentially helped with any scripting that was beyond me. Scripting and me don't get along
|Flutter and Hand
If you are able to then please put in the windlight settings, shadows and use Firestorm viewer. The directions are at the landing point. The hud will attach to you automatically and the pages for the story will appear this time when you walk close to a scene with Flutter (the main character) in it. Not all scenes with Flutter have a page but many do. The hud also has a text to local chat button if english is not your first language. Just click this to send the chat to local and then copy/paste it into an online translator. There are seven pages to the story and I hope you will enjoy it.

New artwork "Hand" opens December 10th
After three months or so of writing and building, my new artwork "Hand" is ready to open. It will open December 10th (which is a terrible time to open something other than Christmas related work as Linden Lab will be promoting all those very soon). There will be a special concert by Phemie Alcott at 12 noon SLT. Phemie, along with some additional sounds by Haze, wrote a wonderful song specifically for the artwork which you can hear in the machinima trailer above which I created for it. She is one of the phenominal talents who reside in our virtual world, and I was fortunate to have her take the time to create something for me. When you arrive there will again be an experience to accept (If you accepted one of mine before you won't need to) and on the wall some settings to put on the shadows with projectors. Firestorm is the best viewer to use as I have used a feature which lets me change the windlight sky by altitude. So some floors of the building have different windlights and they will trigger if you use Firestorm. There will be a narrative in a hud and this time the pages will appear when you walk within the proximity of the main character named Flutter. You will meet her in a subway sitting on a bench to start. There are lots of little hidden things as usual and I am going to limit the amount of avatars to try to keep lag down.
Sadly I am not sure how long this work will stay up this time. As my work takes longer and longer to create as it gets more complex it means that people don't come to the region as much as I am building it. An unfortunate side effect of that is I don't receive tips towards paying tier during the build process which was three months and translates to $900 USD. For the first time in 8 years I don't have tier rent for next month. So if you can afford to tip then please do so that Immersiva can stay open.

Halloweenies has made the transition to mobiles recently. Retaining the same whacky sense of Halloween theme with Frankenstein, monsters, witches it's more funny than scary. Playing on iPad, iPhone or android phones, gamers are treated with a cute graphics and animations without any lagging or glitches. Time for collecting the treats as playing this slot is simple and easy.
Halloweenies symbols
How about making yourself comfortable as you will end up playing for long? Werewolves, witches, Frankenstein, pumpkins, a loopy eyed Pink Bunnies, a wide range of sweets are the regular symbols that wander on to the 5 reels. Each of these symbols are surrounded by a green halo adding to the ghostly settings. The screaming wail in the background for every win is not that annoying and makes it more engaging.
Pelin ominaisuudet
Halloweenies is a 5 reel, 20 payline slot game themed around the Halloween celebrations. More on the fun side, this has the usual wilds, bonus games, free spins and scatters to win the 13,000 coins prize.
Wilds: The monster shaped wild symbols in Halloweenies substitutes for all the regular symbols to form winning combinations. Bag 13,000 coins for 5 of them on the reels.
Scatters: The psycho looking Pink Bunny is the scatter that pays at any position. The number 13 is the number of free spins you land up with when 3 or more of the Pink Bunnies wind up on the reels. All the wins are tripled. And the free spins can be retriggered.
Pick A Pumpkin Bonus Round: 3 or more of the Pumpkin symbols appearing on the reels trigger this round. Presented with 13 pumpkins, you pick them revealing a bonus prize. Rather unimaginative, but the round can be triggered during the free spins, leading to a higher percentage wins.
Min / Max Bet per spin (£/$/€): 0.01 – 0.50
Jackpots (£/$/€): 13,000 coins
Closing thoughts
Halloweenies is a regular payout slot game. Decent looking with features that has a lot to offer, it has all the things for an entertaining, engaging and fun filled time at the slots.

Happy Monday!
I woke up this morning thinking it was Sunday, such a downer when I realized I was off by a day. Isn't that the worst?
The family is finally not sick any more, YIPPEE! I felt like this just dragged on forever. You don't realize how much you depend on being healthy until suddenly you're sick and the simplest chores become daunting.
My camera is still being worked one, it feels like it's been forever! It's kind of left me unmotivated to start any new projects and I've been compensating by 'Instagramming' like crazy! Ironically, now my iphone camera isn't working any more. What bad luck I have with cameras lately!
Isn't this home inspiring? I know it's given me a bit of motivation I need to get through this Monday. Hope you all have great and productive weeks!

Gossip sites have been abuzz with rumors about the state of Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom'smarriage, but it seems that another relationship was going under at the same time.
Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner and husband Bruce Jenner announced their separation this afternoon.
"We are living separately and we are much happier this way," the couple tells E!, home to their family's many reality shows. "But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority."
Kris also spoke to Us Weekly, revealing that they kept the separation under wraps for a year and reiterating that there's no bitterness between the two.
"There is no animosity. We are united and committed to our family. … We ended a marriage, but that's not the end of our friendship. I will always love him, but we are longer a couple in that way."
The couple celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary this spring and have laughed off reports of marital strife in the past.
The Jenners have two teen daughters together — Kylie and Kendall — and Kris is also mother to reality stars Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob Kardashian.

"Almost all of us" is the key here, I think. And the further we go back from today, how does the percentage change?Zarxrax wrote:I think its more the fact that a few people made some amvs early on, and then people saw them at conventions or wherever, and then just copied it. "Hey, why don't I make something like that?"
I mean, why are AMVs even a *thing*? When people watch anime, is their natural inclination to imagine the scenes playing along to a song? Most people would only have such thoughts if they had seen it done before.
I mean how did almost all of us get into AMVs to begin with? We saw other AMVs.
It isn't my inclination to imagine scenes playing along to a song when I watch anime... but it *is* my inclination to imagine scenes playing along to a song, when I hear a song. I may not edit to live action, but I have plenty of live action ideas. And I've been doing this since I was a small child. When I started editing in the late 90s, I made what I call now proto-AMVs, my thought process came from a type of fanfiction called songfics, and they were independent of anything I had seen... Until I met Quu. And found that this was an actual thing, and there was an entire hobby for it. Prior to that point, it was merely me fussing around with footage and songs based on this concept of "what if I could actually take the animation and create a visual songfic?" While the idea of AMVs had certainly been around for years and years at this point, when I was 13, I had no idea anyone else had thought of it, because I was so steeped in another and admittedly non-visual hobby, that of fanfiction. Encountering Quu, and later Phade and Waldo, etc, in #fanfic on Nabiki, pretty much changed everything.

Trulia Set to Hang a "For Sale" Sign on Its Stock
Trulia, the second-largest real estate listings site in the U.S., is expected to go public this week.
The San Francisco company's shares could be priced as soon as tomorrow night, and start trading Thursday morning. Trulia is offering six million shares at $14 to $16 apiece, which, at the midpoint of that range, would raise $65.8 million in net proceeds to the company. That would also value Trulia at $461 million.
Trulia trails behind sector leader Zillow, which held a very successful IPO last year. Zillow sold shares at $20, and now trades near $43 a share, valuing the company at $1.24 billion, or nearly three times Trulia's proposed value. Trulia is expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol TRLA.
A third company in the space, Realtor.com, trades publicly under the corporate name of Move, Inc.
Morningstar analyst James Krapfel wrote in a note to investors that he believes Zillow is the better bet over the long term, although, in his opinion, both companies are poised to grow as more consumers and agents shift the house-hunting process online.
"We believe Trulia has a growing network effect that could keep upstart online competitors at bay, but believe Zillow's larger network effect will allow Zillow to maintain its position as the primary home search marketplace," Krapfel wrote in the note.
Last week, Zillow sued Trulia, alleging that its Trulia Estimates feature infringes on Zillow's patent related to estimating the value for homes and properties. Zillow is seeking a permanent injunction against Trulia, damages and attorneys' fees.
A Trulia spokesperson did not reply to emails seeking comment, which is standard practice during the IPO process.
Trulia leveraged a new provision in the JOBS Act that allowed it to file for a public offering confidentially. It did not disclose any financials until 21 days before its road show, which perhaps has allowed it to fly under the radar, compared to other recent tech IPOs.
In the company's online road show, Trulia highlighted its mobile strategy, saying that, unlike other recent companies that went public and have struggled, it is benefiting from the smartphone trend.
Trulia co-founder and CEO Pete Flint said mobile works for real estate because customers are often out spending the afternoon looking at open houses. Likewise, real estate agents are mobile professionals, conducting their business wherever they happen to be. Because of that, ads monetize better on mobile than they do on the Web, he said. For example, the company's average revenue per agent is $167 a month on mobile versus $134 a month on the Web.
In 2011, the company nearly doubled its losses to $6.2 million from $3.8 million a year earlier, at the same time doubling revenue to $38.5 million.
Proceeds from the offering are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Current shareholders, including Flint and other executives and directors, expect to sell one million shares in the offering.

UNC Hospitals "Legs for Life®" Free Screenings
Free screenings for vascular diseases will be held at UNC Hospitals in September as part of the Legs for Life® campaign, a national screening program designed to raise awareness of the dangers of vascular disease.
Sep 21, 2013
from 09:00 AM to 01:00 PM
|Procedural Recovery Unit (PRU), 2nd floor of N.C. Memorial Hospital
|Contact Name
|Jenni Hughes or Jessica Cote
|Contact Phone
|(919) 966-6646
|Add event to calendar
Physicians and nurses from the UNC Center for Heart and Vascular Care will provide free screenings for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) on Saturday, September 21, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Procedural Recovery Unit (PRU) on the second floor of N.C. Memorial Hospital.
Deadly vascular conditions like peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) affect more than 10 million Americans.
To register for a free screening for PAD and/or AAA at UNC Hospitals, or to learn more, call the UNC Center for Heart and Vascular Care at (919) 966-6646 or email email@example.com.
PAD affects about 10 million people in the United States, but many people do not know they have the disease. PAD is a sign of arteriosclerosis (clogged blood vessels) in the leg. Arteriosclerosis is the primary cause of heart attack, the number one cause of death in the United States.
In the early stages, there may be no symptoms. People may experience pain in the leg while walking that eases when they are at rest. Other symptoms may include swelling or numbness in the leg or skin discoloration. Those at highest risk for PAD include individuals age 50 and over who have a family history of cardiovascular disease and/or have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or are smokers, and people who are overweight and/or lead an inactive lifestyle.
"The screening for peripheral arterial disease is easy and painless, using a test called the ankle brachial index to compare blood pressure in a patient's arms and ankles," says Kyung Kim, MD, Assistant Professor, UNC Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology.
"Treatment options for PAD range from simple lifestyle changes or medical therapy, to more advanced options like angioplasty."
AAA affects as many as five to seven percent of people over the age of 60 and is caused by a weakened area in the aorta, the main vessel that supplies blood from the heart to the rest of the body. When blood flows through the aorta, the weakened area bulges like a balloon, and if it grows large enough, there is a danger that it will burst.
Accounting for more than 15,000 deaths each year, the incidence of AAA has tripled in the United States in the past 30 years, probably due to aging in the population.
Abdominal aortic aneurysms are often called a "silent killer," as patients often have no symptoms until their aneurysm bursts. Fifty percent of all patients with a ruptured aneurysm die from the condition, which is why screening is crucial for people at highest risk.
People who are at highest risk for AAA include males over the age of 60 with a history of tobacco use and/or atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), and males and females who have a family history of AAA.
"Screening people with high risk factors is the best way to find an aortic aneurysm," says Mark Farber, MD, Director, UNC Aortic Disease Management and Professor, Department of Surgery and Radiology.
"During the screening, we will examine the patient's family history, provide an ultrasound if necessary, and then discuss the next steps for follow-up care with the patient's primary care physician."
To register for a free screening for PAD and/or AAA at UNC Hospitals, or to learn more, call the UNC Center for Heart and Vascular Care at (919) 966-6646 or email email@example.com.

- The average berry has 200 seeds, the only fruit whose seeds are on its exterior surface! The seeds are really the fruit!
- Usually grown from runner daughters, they will grow from seed. Just throw down caps you bit the berry from. Sooner or later, you will have a plant you didn't 'plant.' Strawberry seed saving is simple.
- Eight out of 10 strawberries grown in the U.S. are grown in California!
- Strawberries came in second to blueberries in the USDA's analysis of antioxidant capacity of 40 fruits and vegetables. They are also rich in dietary fiber and manganese, and contain more vitamin C than any other berry.

When do I plant strawberries? Not now, NOVEMBER 1 to 10! Yes, it's that specific for winter chill at the perfect time! They start producing runners now, but cut them off until early July! Then let them grow, and cut off the new baby plants mid October for November planting. Or, just let them grow to fill spots where, for one reason or another, a plant has gone missing, needs replacing, and/or another could fit in. When those needs are taken care of, cut off the rest of the runners. These runner plant babies will grow so fast you will be getting berries from them late summer and fall if you have everbearers/day neutral types!!
My plant isn't producing….
Variety – If it is an everbearer, day neutral, variety it will produce almost all year. June/spring bearers put out a prolific batch in June, then it's over. No amount of care or feeding is going to make that plant have berries after June. Sorry. Best to get the varieties your local nursery carries. Or talk with them about special ordering well in advance, so they can get the ones you want.
Temps – cold weather slows down pollinators.
Shaded – believe me, strawberries like all-day sun! If you are going to tuck them in among other plants, be sure to put them on the sunny side!
Hungry – think about it! A strawberry plant is often pumping out several berries at a time! They are using up soil nutrition, so feed them! Try a light solution of fish emulsion/kelp every other week over some sprinkled seabird guano or a well aged manure. Give your strawberries a little fertilizer in the 0-10-10 proportions; that's lots of phosphorus and potassium for strong roots and uptake of nutrients, blooms and fruits!
Water – don't let them dry out, they will stop producing. This month they tend to grow more leaves, send out runners. Clip off the runners for now, so they don't take your plant's energy away from producing berries, unless you want more plants right away.
Mulching is good. They love pine needle mulch, if you have some about, because they prefer slightly acidic soil. Drape your berries over pine cones to keep them off the ground, out of the slug zone.
Age – First year plants and 3rd year plants don't produce as well.
My berries are really tiny! Strawberry varieties vary from mammoth chocolatiers, to midget but mighty tasty alpines. If it isn't a variety issue, it may be diseased. See below please.
Misshapen berries or split in two sections with a hole in the center
Irregular watering Your berry grows fast when it has water, then is restricted when it doesn't….
Western Tarnished Plant Bugs, feed on the flowers and developing surface seeds that stimulate growth causing misshapen berries, hard clusters of yellow seeds on the tip of the fruit. Clean up debris. Once you see this, you are too late to prevent it any further. Bummer. UC Davis IPM Integrated Pest Management on Lygus Hesperus. Image of typical cat-faced berries.
Pollination Strawberry flowers are usually open and attractive to bees only a day or less. Temperatures below 60F, low night temperatures, & high humidity result in inadequate pollination, low yields of small or misshapen fruit. Strawberries require multiple pollination for perfect fruit formation. Generally, as the number of pollinator visits increases, there will be an increase in fruit set, number of seed per fruit, fruit shape, and fruit weight. ABOUT BEES: per NCSU 'Bees rarely fly when the temperature is below 55°F. Flights seldom intensify until the temperature reaches 70°F. Wind speed beyond 15 miles per hour seriously slows bee activity. Cool, cloudy weather and threatening storms greatly reduce bee flights. In poor weather, bees foraging at more distant locations will remain in the hive, and only those that have been foraging nearby will be active. Pumpkin, squash, and watermelon flowers normally open around daybreak and close by noon; whereas, cucumbers, strawberries, and muskmelons generally remain open the entire day.' So if the weather isn't right THE DAY OR MORNING your flower opens…..
Whole plant has yellow leaves. The most common cause is nutrient deficiencies due to overwatering. Overwatering causes poor root growth making it difficult to move enough water to the leaves during hot weather. Lay back on watering; give your babies some Nitrogen –fish emulsion/kelp.
Strawberry Pests
Pecked If birds are pecking your berries, put bird netting or a wire dome over them.
Rebecca & David Barker, Pilgrim Terrace Community Garden, Plot 41, staked the chicken wire in place, push it up to harvest, down to just the right height when done!
Holes in them, Chewed Silvery slime trails are the giveaway! Use the pine cones to drape your berries over to keep them off the ground. Put down some Sluggo or the like, to kill off night-time nibblers, slugs, snails. Harvest regularly before the berry gets soft and smelly, just before the buglets are attracted! Those little black pointy worms? I'm trying to find out what they are. If you know, let me know, ok?!
Uprooted Sad to say, that sounds like 'possums, raccoon, or skunk. They are looking for your earth worms or grubs. Just like bunnies, these critters won't jump a low barrier. They just go around it. So install a foot tall perimeter of wire pieces, black plastic plant flats, old trellis parts, whatever you have around, or go get something that looks good to you so you will be happy. Relocating the critters is a good choice because, they do have children, that have children, that…
Strawberry Diseases StrawberryPlants.org for full list of diseases. Here's a link to the 3 Most common leaf diseases with images.
Angular Leaf Spot – exactly that. Spotted leaves. A cosmetic problem until it isn't. Your plant will produce, but it won't thrive. Spread by water, harvest before you water, water under the leaves, remove badly spotted leaves, don't use them as mulch, wash your hands before going on to another plant.
Strawberry Blight – the fungus is often confused with angular leaf spot, overwinters in old leaves, remove them. Remove old leaves from runner plants before setting. All day sun, well-drained soil, in an area with circulation, equals less fungus. For good air circulation, plant far enough apart, remove weeds, remove, replant and/or give away runner baby sets. Plant resistant varieties for your area of your state. Discussion of SoCal varieties. When you buy new plants be sure they are certified from a disease-free nursery. If you use a fungicide, spray the underside of leaves as well as the tops.
Successful SoCal varieties!
Chandler is the most widely commercially grown strawberry in California. High yield, early producer, large southern berry. It's a June bearer, so if you want year round supply, this is not your berry.
Seascape is an ever-bearing, big day neutral, all year strawberry, harvests are more abundant in late spring. High yield, resistant to most diseases except leaf spot. Reliable producer in fall, performs well in hot, dry climates. Berry is bright red inside and out!
Oso Grande Another June bearer, high yield big berry, good in warm climates.
Eat your red plump strawberries! Fresh from your garden, strawberry Sundae, strawberry sauce, strawberry pie, cake, bread, strawberry ice cream, whipped cream, yoghurt, cream cheese, cheesecake, strawberry shake, chocolate dipped, strawberry lemonade, strawberry Syrah, and, as always, the traditional, Strawberry Shortcake!!

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- Alex Steen, Jason Arnott and Alex Pietrangelo scored consecutive goals in the third period Sunday, carrying the St. Louis Blues to a 6-4 win over Columbus.
Trailing 3-2 entering the final frame, the Blues exploded for the three straight scores, triggered by Steen's equalizer 58 seconds into the period.
Arnott got the game-winner 6 minutes later when David Perron stole the puck behind the Columbus and fed him in the crease for a quick shot past Blue Jackets goalie Steve Mason.
Pietrangelo added an insurance tally, and T.J. Oshie chipped in a goal and an assist for Blues, who won for the ninth time in 11 home games and moved into second place in the Central Division.
Jaroslav Halak stopped 28-of-32 shots to earn the victory.
Derick Brassard provided a goal and an assist, and Fedor Tyutin added three assists for Columbus.
Mason finished with 28 saves.

After 25 years on air, Oprah Winfrey signed off from her iconic syndicated talk show Wednesday morning. But she refused to say goodbye.
"Until we meet again," she said. "To God be the glory."
The talk show host leaves her No. 1 rated daytime show to run her OWN network full time from L.A. Though her plans have been known for sometime, watching her final show was bittersweet for many fans.
Audience members were crying throughout the hour-long goodbye show on Wednesday.
But for once, the show wasn't about the reactions of the audience. The final show, which marked Oprah's 4,561st day on set, was all about Oprah, and the talk show host didn't want to talk about melancholy feelings.
"All sweet, no bitter," Oprah said about leaving. She has no regrets from her 25 years on the stage, besides not shedding light on more controversial issues. She said she would have liked to feature more stories on sexual predators.
The final show was a stark contrast to the United Center spectaculars that led up to the finale. The preceding two shows were stocked with famous guests and extraordinary goodbyes from the likes of Maria Shriver, Michael Jordan and Will Smith. And Oprah enjoyed every second of them.
"Did you see my face?" she laughs.
"I non-jokingly say my team and Jesus," she said about the secrets to her success.
She also praised the more than 30,000 people whose lives were affected by her show, which often offered a venue where individuals, from celebrities to everyday folks, could unburden themselves of secrets and let emotions flow.
"They all had the same thing in common," she said. "They all wanted validation."

Villa at Cape of Good Hope .. The main reason for the French photographer Jean-Marc Lederman bought a villa near the town of Llandudno on the Cape of Good Hope, had fabulous views, the views from the windows. "They are breathtaking, but the rest of the building was boring: a standard two-storey box of bricks" - says Lederman. The new owner immediately decided that the villa you need to change, to give it the scale and scope - Lederman has long dreamed of living in a house that would resemble the style of Frank Lloyd creation Rayta.Prezhde you begin to repair Lederman had lived in the house for a year, learning how to the light changes during the day, and depending on the season. "I needed to get a feel for what this place is, and then redo something," - he says. The first step was the architectural transformation: basement Lederman turned into a photographic studio on the top did a spacious terrace with a swimming pool, has attached garage.

Precision Dynamics and Intellitix to Exhibit RFID Technology at the International Music Festival Conference (IMFCON)
Innovative Technology Reduces Admission Lines, Increases Spending, and Connects Event Planners to Guests via Social Media
Valencia, CA (Nov. 27, 2012) – Precision Dynamics Corporation (PDC), the global leader in automatic wristband identification, and Intellitix, the global leader in RFID solutions for live events, will showcase their RFID solutions designed to enhance guest experiences at the International Music Festival Conference (IMFCON) from December 2 to 4, at the Hyatt Regency in Austin, TX.
IMFCON is the largest international organization representing today's music festival market. Industry experts will have the opportunity to personally experience PDC's Smart Band® RFID Wristband System in an interactive, live demonstration with Intellitix's access control system and social media technology. An RFID chip containing a unique 16-character code is sealed inside each Smart Band®. This code is validated by the Intellitix system when the wristband-wearing person comes in contact with one of its custom-built entrance portals or other RFID hardware.
For electronic access control, each Intellitix entrance portal has a throughput rate of more than 2,500 persons per hour. Dramatically reducing queuing times, the system allows guests to spend more time inside the venue focusing on performances and concessions. The identifying code programmed in each Smart Band® deters counterfeiting and scalping, while providing peace of mind to promoters.
Intellitix and PDC's RFID technology also enables fans to take advantage of the latest social media craze at festivals—linking live to Facebook to instantly share concert experiences with friends. Guests are able to sync their PDC Smart Band® to their Facebook page, then with a quick flick of the wrist, communicate online via Intellitix' RFID-enabled Live Click Stations that can be installed near concert stages, or anywhere throughout an event.
"RFID technology is a perfect avenue to connect promoters to their guests via social media. The social media aspect of RFID technology transforms guests into international event ambassadors, providing free advertising and branding for the festival," said Robin Barber, vice president of leisure and entertainment for Precision Dynamics.
Since its launch in 2001, PDC's Smart Band® RFID Wristband System has been implemented at music festivals across North America as part of time-saving applications that help redefine the guest experience, while bringing significant bottom line benefits to the festivals that use them. Applications for the Smart Band® include: cashless point-of-sale; cashless arcade and vending; social media integration; keyless hotel and locker access; electronic access control; photo management systems; and customer loyalty programs. Additional PDC RFID Solutions include PDC Smart® Cards, Key Fobs, Lanyards, and Parking Passes. For more information, visit www.pdcorp.com/rfid.
Since Intellitix launched its suite of services in 2011, it has become the leading global provider of RFID technology for live events that includes access control, cashless payment systems, social media integration, staff management, brand activation tools, audience profiling and active RFID. Intellitix technology both reduces overhead for event organizers, while simultaneously generating additional income streams and directly improving the patron experience. For more information, please visit www.intellitix.com.
About Precision Dynamics Corporation
With over 50 years of experience, PDC is the global leader and pacesetter in the development of wristband and label systems for healthcare, leisure and entertainment, and law enforcement. The company introduced the first patient bar code ID wristband, patented Smart Band® Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) wristbands, and the award winning PDC Smart® Kiosk. PDC is committed to 100% quality in service, design, and manufacturing and complies with ISO-9001 standards (Organization for International Standards).
About Intellitix
Intellitix is a global provider of RFID access control and cashless payment systems for live events. Since 2011, Intellitix has activated over 2 million RFID tags at festivals in North America and Europe. The technology cut queues to a minimum, eradicated ticket fraud and unwanted resale, and its proprietary software and fully integrated hardware is 100% secure and reliable.
