Annie Shepherd's love of landscapes and experience with cross-country moves serve as inspiration for the playful pieces she makes in the UrbanGlass studio. She sat down with us to talk about the influence of her environment on her art practice.
Could you start by describing your background in glass?
I saw glassblowing on a field trip [in high school], then later had an assignment to shadow someone in the field I was interested in pursuing. I reached out to a glass maker at a local college, spent a day there, and was like woah. That definitely cemented my desire to go to a school that offered glass; I wanted that to be an option available to me. I started at a college in Nebraska [where I grew up], Hastings College, and then I ended up transferring halfway through and finished my degree at Alfred University.
It's been almost five years now that I've lived here [in Brooklyn]. During that time I've also worked as one of the contract glassblowers for Corning, and did the cruise ship a couple times, which was a really interesting opportunity. It was like my work-cation. [Laughs.] I currently freelance full-time, whether that's fabricating for artists, assisting, being part of a production team, or teaching... 100% of my working time is in glass, which I feel very fortunate about.
I can see that cartography is a recurring theme in your work. Why do you think you're so drawn to it?
I've been trying to think about this myself recently, like what's the work's origin story, why maps? They've been present in my work since I was in school. I think a lot of it began with moving, and trying to figure out location and "belonging." Like, thinking about how just because you're in a specific physical place, does that make it your home?
A map in itself gives you a lot of information about a location, and absolutely nothing at the same time. I listened to a podcast about mapping, and [the host] described this map they created of all of the pumpkins in their neighborhood during Halloween, which I thought was really interesting.
Speaking of which, how do you choose the locations that you spotlight in your jewelry collection?
A lot of them are places that are special to me, or are visually attractive to me because of their linework. I definitely am drawn to those "sacred green spaces" that exist in Brooklyn and New York in general. Like the piece I made for Jewelry Week last fall was a two-piece combo of Prospect Park and the Botanic Gardens. It's this kind of urban oasis for me.
Does your more sculptural work also tie into these ideas of place/belonging?
Yeah! I might see this hilly landscape and think, how can I playfully bring that into glass without being super literal? Like the Land Lump vases [at UrbanGlass|ware]. Each one is a funky little rolling landscape. I had a lot of fun with those in particular!
Living in New York, and being in more of an urban landscape, we're surrounded by buildings and sharp edges and windows and things like that. Those sort of influences, the things we're surrounded by all the time, have definitely crept into my work. I'll take photos of buildings with those overlapping shapes and then bring that into the hot shop and sketch it out as a basis for some of my forms. It probably doesn't read very literally, but it's those eclipsing shapes that bleed into my form-making.
Oh, I'll have to revisit some of your work with that in mind! Do you notice any other major influences that shape your glassmaking?
Well, my list of influential artists is never-ending. Nancy Callan's amazing for her work with pattern and line, I've had the opportunity to take a class with her before. Ethan Stern was a visiting instructor at UrbanGlass last year, and he helped make a lot of things click for me. I really admire him as an artist, as well as his process and the work that he makes.
So in addition to taking classes with other artists, you teach as well. Do you find the switch between the role of student vs. teacher affect how you think about glass?
Absolutely. I think that it's the biggest treat to be a student. Oh man, that's the best, when you can be in a class and focus on and advance your own practice. And through teaching, having to explain the process to others makes you realize why you do things, and how you do things, and recognize those little bits of efficiency you've picked up along the way. I enjoy teaching and getting to pass on what I've learned from other people over the years to the next wave of glass makers.
Interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Sign up for one of the classes Annie will be teaching this summer at UrbanGlass! Her Map Jewelry and Land Lumps are available through UrbanGlass|ware, and more of her work can be seen on her website.

European scholarships are for those students who performed the well in academics. you may not get a scholarship with just writing an article. but if you participate in any competition for writing articles and win, you can get the winning price. that's the best way to get some help with your article.
there are numbers of scholarships in Europe that you can read if you like at https://medium.com/@edugoabroad/scholarships-for-i...

As you are already doing an undergraduate degree, presume you are asking about a Master's or a PhD.
One of my daughters was a Psych undergraduate and did her undergraduate thesis on animal learning. Her work confirmed a study done at Harvard some years before which nobody until then had been able to replicate. Harvard offered her a funded PhD (no tuition + stipend) but instead she went to vet school.
No better way on the planet to get the right kind of attention than a great undergraduate thesis. How are you doing with yours? Don't waste your time with an 'article' whatever that is supposed to be.
- ibu guruLv 710 months ago
First, there is no such thing as "perfect." Second, psychology is a very popular major in US, Europe, etc, and citizens need advanced degrees to work in the field. You're likely not getting any financial aid to go to grad school abroad in a glutted field where you can never use your degree, never qualify for any temporary employment visa. Third, with the extremely high rate of student visa fraud (intent to remain is visa fraud), Iranians can have a very tough time proving they are returning to their country of citizenship, which is a requirement for any temporary visa such as student visa.

In the USA, no an essay/article isn't going to get you a scholarship from a university.
You can go on any US university's web site to read what scholarships they offer, how much they pay out and the requirements for them.
Are you looking at Graduate schools? Scholarships are usually based on your academics. Grades from your undergrad studies.

Are you looking to develop a high-quality business flyer? Then it needs some very specific design additions to make it stand out.
Flyers are, despite what some people say, still a very strong way to advertise your business. When designed and printed by companies like Fast Printing Co, you can make sure that the job is carried out in a manner befitting of your needs as a professional.
To help you make the right call, then, here are ten tips to follow along with to make sure your flyer designs rock.
- Start off by making sure there is a clear functionality to the design. Most of the time, you need it to be easy to look at and striking enough to catch the eye. Ensure details and key points are crystal-clear.
- It's a good idea to use grids to help make sure information is broken into clear points of interest. From the information points to describing your company aims through to pricing and contact details, use gridding to separate it accordingly.
- Know your audience. Take a closer look at what your ideal target is going to be and try to work towards that. Look at something a bit more minimalistic in a corporate environment, a little more outrageous for creative industries.
- That being said, you shouldn't acquiesce to create something dull and boring for the reader. Go that extra mile and make sure that the flyer content is still interesting; use brand-specific colors and imagery that perfectly details the point in the first place.
- Get inspired by modern technology. When you use a mobile app, what do you hate? Cluttered user interfaces. Make sure your flyer follows the same principle, with efficient information display and easy-to-read fonts that avoid clashing or contrasting.
- Make it optimistic – from someone hopping around the dancefloor to promote a night club event to a happy person celebrating their success for a training program, capture the emotion you expect the person viewing the flyer to feel if they attend.
- If you want to use an image as the main focal point of the flyer, do so. Use it as the background image and build the rest of the design on top of that, instead of re-sizing and shoehorning the image in.
- Use smart shape design to help make text stand out, present calls to action and various other aspects to help make the flyer a little more attractive to potential readers; geometry can really help sell the point of the flyer!
- Feel the flyer is a bit too sombre/upbeat, depending on the message being presented? Then add in a little dashing of color. Reducing the mood with deep colors makes sense, as does lightening the tone with bright, optimistic colors.
- Lastly, try and keep it nice and artistic for the aim that it might be kept. With a cool design or something a bit more innovative, you are likely to get your flyer kept. The longer it stays in their possession, the more likely they are to take action on it!
Keeping all of the above in mind, then, you can surely see how easy it is to take things to a whole new level from an artistic sense.

The Most Powerful Way to Learn is Not What You Think
Here's the reason why trying to learn something new often fails.
Posted Apr 10, 2017
Something important tends to be missing from most articles about lifelong learning. Because they fail to identify—as do educators and trainers on the whole—the challenges presented by what psychologists call proactive interference. In other words, to successfully learn something new we first need to "unlearn" what we've previously been taught.
For example, the reason I have to think twice about which political party someone is referring to when they talk about "red states" and "blue states" in the U.S. is because I was born in the U.K. Over there I learned those colors in reverse: red for socialists; blue for conservatives. You've likely had similar experiences, as when your attempt to learn a new language interferes with one you already know. When I tried to learn Spanish as an adult after being taught French in high school, I ended up mixing the two together in a mish-mash I call "Franish."
While learning doesn't always happen as quickly or easily as we're led to believe, holding on to stubborn, outdated beliefs and mistaken assumptions can make you obsolete in your business or industry without ever knowing why.
To become a strategic, lifelong unlearner you need to consciously challenge what has worked in the past. Try the following three approaches:
1. Prove yourself wrong
In describing how he navigated the doubt and uncertainty of scientific experimentation, award-winning theoretical physicist Richard Feynman wrote: "We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress."
In today's VUCA world that's wise advice. It's just not that easy to think "Could I be wrong?" when confirmation bias prompts us to look for evidence that we're right. Even though history is littered with prominent people and institutions whose false predictions continue to dog them as a result.
Continually questioning assumptions is something Julie Friedman Steele, Board Chair of the World Future Society and founder/CEO of The 3D Printer Experience (3DPX) benefits from.
"When I launched 3DPX I had to constantly unlearn things I assumed would work. Like imagining a 3D printer in every home, before learning about the dangers of toxic particle emissions," says Steele. "It's uncomfortable finding out that what you once considered true doesn't hold up. That's why there's a bigger shift in digital manufacturing by people like me. It was because of my ability to unlearn things that don't work and embrace the new that I could fly right by others with a traditional manufacturing background."
2. Gather from broad sources.
There are many reasons why co-working hubs are thriving. Not least the innovations that come from intermingling the perspectives of designers, engineers, entrepreneurs, marketers and programmers. Such challenges to previously fixed "habits of mind" are vital to unlearning, says University of Texas at Austin associate professor of educational psychology, Andrew Butler.
"There are many ways in which we acquire misinformation and inaccurate mental models, including from books and movies. Instead of relying on what you think you know, you should gather information from a wide variety of trusted sources."
Dr. Butler did this before shifting from being a Post Doc to assistant professor. "I asked different people what I needed to do to be successful. Each helped me gain clarity on different aspects of the role, like teaching, researching, getting grant funding, and mentoring students. All jobs evolve. The more complex and less defined your future role, the greater number of diverse people you need to guide you. Gone are the days when it's a case of "I've got it now"."
3. Feel the fear…
Adeo Ressi, CEO of Founder Institute also knows a thing or two about unlearning as he helps transition people from corporate jobs to entrepreneurial roles.
"It takes three and a half months to wipe away a lot of bad conditioning and recondition former employees with attitudes and behaviors that lead to entrepreneurial success," says Ressi. He often uses using fear as a motivator, such as requiring aspiring founders to set up a website, attract 2,000 people, and sell 50 products in a limited time.
"Most people who think that's impossible achieve far superior results as they unlearn the perceived limitations of their potential," says Ressi, who believes that most businesses teach people to "maximize to the minimum, as in 'what's the minimum I need to do to achieve this outcome?'"
This suggests that instead of simply discarding redundant skills in favor of new ones, the greatest benefit of unlearning could come from questioning and testing how little we believe we're capable of.
Nevertheless, whenever you see the words "lifelong learner," remember what Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu advised: "To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things every day."

- Stop RSCD agent service
- delete BladelogicRSCD user
- Start RSCD agent service
- check BladelogicRSCD user is created

3. Re: BladeLogicRSCD gets locked repeatedlyrichard mcleod Oct 9, 2014 8:12 AM (in response to Muralidharan sridharan)
I've seen this help in the past:
Make sure the RSCD Service has dependencies for the Server Service (lanmanserver) and Netlogon (netlogon)
You can add the dependencies via cmdline using this
sc config rscdsvc depend= lanmanserver/netlogon
Before starting the newly configured service, delete the BladeLogicRSCD

Looks like BladeLogicRSCD Agent password has bee expired.
Either delete BladeLogicRSCD User. When RSCD agent will start it will create new BladeLogicRSCD user
or You can use chapw command to reset the password but this will require Automation Principal.

I think you are running a rather old version of the Agent . There are several defects related to this exact issue and those might not been fixed in 8.2.1.
We ran on 8.2.2 for a while and at least this version did not have those issues
6. Re: BladeLogicRSCD gets locked repeatedlyYanick Girouard Oct 9, 2014 1:26 PM (in response to Muralidharan sridharan)1 of 1 people found this helpful
If the server is a domain controller, none of the above is the issue. The account would get locked because member servers try to execute commands on the domain (commands which have to connect to the domain controller in a way). The member servers it will lock the domain controller's BladeLogicRSCD account because the password is different than their local BladeLogicRSCD account.
You can tell that by checking the auth logs of the DC and find the source server that locked the account.
The solution to that is this:
1. Stop the agent on ALL replicated domain controllers
2. Manually edit the following registry key (on each domain controller) to the same value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BladeLogic\RSCD Agent\BladelogicRSCDUser
Set it to a new name no longer than 20 characters
3. Start the RSCD agent on one of the replicated domain controllers (or just start it on the one if you only have one).
4. Confirm the new account name was created by the agent.
5. Wait for domain replication to occur, confirm on other DCs that the account is visible to them as well.
6. Start the RSCD agent on remaining replicated DCs
7. Delete the old BladeLogicRSCD account on the DCs as it's no longer needed.
What this will do essentially, is force an authentication failure if ever a member server tries to execute a command that needs to query one of the DCs because the BladeLogicRSCD account the agent runs as won't exist on the DC.
7. Re: BladeLogicRSCD gets locked repeatedlyMuralidharan sridharan Oct 14, 2014 4:12 AM (in response to Muralidharan sridharan)
thanks everyone for the suggestions.

NFL free agency news: Wide receiver Brandon Marshall visits Seahawks
Brandon Marshall is revisiting some old stomping grounds as his quest to find a new team continues.
The Seahawks hosted the veteran wide receiver for a visit Wednesday after he previously visited the team as a restricted free agent in 2010, ESPN reported.
According to the Seattle Times, it was unclear if a signing was imminent as of later Wednesday evening.
Marshall signed a two-year deal worth $11 million with the Giants last offseason but was released last month with a failed physical designation. He suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 5 last season but already wasn't performing up to expectations before getting hurt.
Marshall, 34, had 18 catches for 154 yards in five games for the Giants.

Northwest ISD's curriculum team has selected the district's elementary Writers of the Month for April 2018, honoring two students for their academic capabilities.
This month's honorees include Rylan Lund from Haslet Elementary School and Loseli Cannon from Lakeview Elementary School. Each writer selected his or her favorite recent work to highlight for the award.
For his featured work, Rylan chose an essay about his first time visiting Houston and the city's Space Center. He added that he likes to write fiction stories in his free time, as well as narratives since they describe his own experiences. For her featured work, Loseli chose her essay describing two reasons she is a good friend. She said the essay gave details and used similes to help the reader visualize details.
The district's literacy coaches work with a group of campus teachers and administrators to select students who show exemplary writing performance or tremendous growth as writers. After students are chosen, each is asked to select his or her favorite work of writing and explain why that work was chosen.
Students are recognized by district educators as well as through the Northwest ISD English Language Arts program with a certificate of achievement.

Aqua Claudia was an aqueduct of ancient Rome that, like the Anio Novus, was begun by emperor Caligula in 38 AD and completed by Claudius in 52. The channel length was 45–46 miles (ca. 69 km, most of which was underground) in different times and volume at the springs was 191,190 cubic metres in 24 hours.

Pizza toppings make the pie unique and tasty and with dozens of options, customizing a pizza to your exact specifications is simple. So, as far as an answer to the question of which toppings are best for pizza, there is really no one size fits all answer. It all depends on what you like and what you're in the mood to eat. You can always change your pizza pie the next time you order pizza delivery near me.
If you want the typical pizza that most people order, top it with pepperoni. Or, if you want two toppings, add sausage. Many people love it when the cheese is piled high, so they order extra cheese on their pizza. Prefer more healthy options? There are tons of ideas for a healthy pizza pie as well. Maybe you'd like to top your pie with spinach or black olives to get that extra health kick.
Other popular pizza toppings include:
· Bacon
· Mushroom
· Chicken
· Beef
· Onions
· Red Peppers
This is not a complete list of pizza toppings, of course, but includes some of the most popular options. Does pineapple go on pizza? Of course it does, if that is what you like. Many people enjoy the taste of a Hawaiian pizza, which is topped with delicious pineapple and ham. If you like it then you really should eat it without worrying about what anyone else thinks. It's your pizza, have it your way!
You also have your choice of pizza crusts which further personalize your pie. You can pick from hand tossed, thin crust, gluten-free, whole-grain, and an assortment of other types of crust. They enhance the flavor of the pizza and give you the options that you want. Now that you're ready to eat pizza, what will go on tonight's pie?

Our homeowner loved her home, but not the interior. Working along side designer, Jennifer May of Refresh Custom Designs, the first floor of the home was given an updated looked by reconfiguraing the lay out of the Kitchen and Dining Room. The Kitchen was updated by using white cabinetry with an accent color for the Island. The cook top was relocated from the original Island, so that a new Prep Sink and additional seating could be added. The homeowner, not wanting to see the Refrigerator, had Refrigerator Panels installed to match the new cabinetry. In the Dining Area, new cabinetry was installed to match the cabinets in the Kitchen and a window seat was also added. In the Master Bathroom, Marble was installed from Floor to Ceiling, with new lighting and fixtures. A custom designed window was added in the shower to bring in natural light. The first floor guest bathroom, was given a face lift by adding a tile wainscotting and new cabinetry and marble vanity.

The Vampire Council, also known as the Council of Elders or The Senate, was tasked with protecting the last remaining Pureblood families.
The Council of Elders controlled the Vampire society. They were given control by the last Kuran King (Rido, Haruka and Juri Kuran's father) when he yielded his kingship. The Ichijo and Shiki families are known to be Pro-Council. The last Head of the Council was Asato Ichijo.
Before Yuki was awakened to her Pureblood state, the Hunter's Association and the Vampire Council conspired together–or rather their leaders Asato Ichijo and the Hunter's Association President–with the intention of following the mad king Rido Kuran and gaining more power. Asato Ichijo's motive was to replace Kaname Kuran with Rido Kuran, making him Head of the Kuran family. This would also make the Council have more control. In return for the Hunter's Association's help, Asato gave the President Rido Kuran's powerful Pureblood blood, unfortunately turning him into a vampire.
The Council was destroyed by Kaname Kuran, as being unable to distinguish between right and wrong, when he killed the highest members of the Council[1]. However, since the destruction of the Council, the former lower ranked members, young vampires have now been causing trouble going wild in the neighborhoods.[2].If a Pureblood was killed, they would have their murderer killed.
In Vampire Knight Guilty, Zero was accused of being the murderer of Shizuka Hio. When in truth, it was Kaname. Yuki has a small mysterious conversation with a vampire outside the school, and the vampire attacks her. Yuki is then saved by Zero, and Zero kills the vampire using the Bloody Rose. More vampires approach Yuki and Zero. Just before they can attack, Kaname and the Night Class arrive and turns them to ash and Kaname injures one of the henchmen's shoulder. The remaining men tell Kaname that his desire to protect a murderer, will be reported back to the Senate.

w/ Rich McLean, Golf Canada Level 4 Rules Official @lobwedge
Marty McFly: "Hey, Doc, we better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88."
Doc Brown: "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!"
Okay, so over the last few columns we've taken a bit of look at some of the rules changes coming up in 2019. What are your impressions? Are there some you like more than others? Have you looked at them any further on your own? I highly recommend having a read through them before January, if for no other reason than to be somewhat familiar with how things will work before you tee it up next season. HINT: Start with the Definitions at the back of the book. These are the foundation to understanding and applying what you're reading. If you can nail these down first, you're way ahead of the game.
I've already had plenty of questions this year from the guys I play with. We've had some good discussions too, and they're starting to catch on. That's exciting for me. These guys really want to hit the ground running next year. The big "hits" so far are the possibility of expanded Penalty Areas, other than just water, and the two-stroke option for Unplayable Ball in a bunker. My personal fave is the 3-minute ball search maximum (I spend enough time in the woods already). Even those of us who study the rules are asking questions. It's in our nature. We all want to be ready for January 1st.
Trust me, the R&A and USGA aren't trying to reinvent the wheel. Let's just say they're trying to make the car easier to drive. A little less "GPS", and a bit more "heads-up". The principle of the game remains the same: Get your ball from the teeing ground in to the hole, in as few strokes as possible, under the rules. Match Play is still Match Play, and Stroke Play is still Stroke Play (and Stableford, and Foursomes, and Four-Ball…). And, while some of the names may have changed that describe the different areas on the course, you're still making swings, and chips, and pitches, and putts, with 14 clubs and a ball.
Is it nerve-wracking? Sure. Anything new comes with a bit of a break-in period. There'll be questions, and we'll take second guesses, and we'll all make mistakes for a little while. That's all part of learning. On the other hand, this is also a pretty exciting time. Think about it. We get to be first. There aren't too many times you truly get to be first at something. Pretty cool, eh?
So "old rules", what do you have to say for yourselves? You've served us admirably for the last billion years, but we are so done with you. Time to retire along with your hard-collared shirts, your plaid bell-bottom Sansabelts, and your metal spikes. There are new kids in town, and they all want to play.
Same great game. Great new rules. Let's take this baby up to 88 and see what happens!

Well, the player formerly known as "Zag" seems to have is life taken over by real life. Yeah, I know- tastes like teenspirit went out the window and only thing left in the air is the dust left from the vaccuum filter. In other words, it sucks to be missing some of you guys.
It's been great and I'll try to keep in touch. If ya need someone to talk to I'm at firstname.lastname@example.com, I'm on facebook now- thanks to Melissa and Nash.
Keep it real everyone and throw me a line. If you see Zagerr's or Zugerr's on you just let'm know you knew the real deal
You're company was appreciated and I hope I wasn't a guest you regret having. Be safe everyone and as Jimi Hendrix would say it "See ya in the next world and don't be late!"
Yours truly,
Zag (Alan C)

"Aqueduct" (2016), glazed stoneware and porcelain, 8 x 8 x 1 feet, all images via Courtney Mattison "Aqueduct" (2016), glazed stoneware and porcelain, 8 x 8 x 1 feet Doubling as an artist and ocean advocate, Courtney Mattison (previously) produces large-scale ceramic installations that draw attention to conservation of our planet's seas.
Her latest installation "Aqueduct" showcases hundreds of porcelain sea creatures including anemones, sponges, and coral sprouting from a porcelain air duct. The piece asks us to imagine the plight of these undersea creatures as tropical sea temperatures begin to rise, asking where they might migrate to once their homes have been rendered uninhabitable. In addition to large-scale installations, Mattison also sculpts more intimate vignettes. The Denver-based artist studied marine ecology and ceramics at Skidmore College and received a Master of Arts degree in environmental studies from Brown University.

Aurel Schmidt Maneater October 4–November 1, 2008 76 Grand Street In this new body of work, Aurel Schmidt munches her way through modernist masterpieces, transforming them with graphite and colored pencil into seething masses of interwoven debris.
Gravitating toward the most iconic and most macho, she turns the gallery into a sort of Museum of Modern Art gone wrong. Picasso's "Weeping Women" are her first meal: Composition and color are retained while one lady's hat becomes a nest of seagulls and pigeons and her eyes are transformed into circles of feeding flies; the eyebrows are drawn as crawling centipedes, and her tears form pink cockroaches.

ONE HUNDRED MILES into the desert north of Los Angeles, at the intersection of two crumbling roads that are slowly re-assimilating into the ruddy, sunbaked earth, a flimsy, black folding umbrella—the kind that sells for $7 at a drugstore—fends off the high-noon rays from its perch on a metal stand.
Beneath its shade, a tall man in a blue dress shirt and black jeans climbs onto a ladder, oblivious to the 85-degree heat. He peers through binoculars, concentrating intently on two land surveyors working about 15 yards in front of him and, beyond, the scrubland extending to the horizon. The binoculars are balanced atop an accordion-like, oversize black camera. After a moment, the man triggers the shutter by squeezing a small piston with a precise flicking motion that calls to mind Roger Federer's net game. Then he lifts his head, runs his fingers through his chin-length gray hair and removes the exposed sheet of film from the camera before sliding in another. Taryn Simon. Information.

The CDC identified the healthcare industry as the second fastest growing sector of the economy. The increase of workers to this industry has also brought about an increase in workplace injuries. One type of injury, the dreaded back injury, can be felt by everyone from a nurse to a maintenance man to the staff making beds and delivering meals. The latter two groups can be helped to avoid the low back strain health care workers are susceptible to by the use of a CartCaddyLite.
The linen carts that carry the linens to the patients' rooms are large and not easily moved in the tight hallways and constricted spaces of a hospital or nursing home. The linen cart that is pushed from room to room may be overloaded to cut down on the trips to the linen closet. Unfortunately these scenarios may also increase the trips to the doctor's office for the workers who are responsible for those duties. Having a linen cart puller can reduce the strain associated with maneuvering heavy loads and minimize the possibility of injuries associated with these stressful tasks.
Employees who have access to a cart puller will be more efficiently using their time and less likely to suffer a back injury while pushing around a fully loaded linen cart. The CartCaddyLite has a tight turning radius and is very easy to maneuver. This makes these versatile pieces of equipment perfect for use in facilities that are cramped, crowded or that have space constraints.
There is a possibility for injury in any field that involves regular physical labor. In order for a hospital or nursing facility to minimize this risk and keep valuable employees healthy they need to provide employees access to the right equipment. The CartCaddyLite can instantly eliminate some of the stress associated with these difficult jobs and create a safer work environment for employees.
Features and Specifications
Standard CartCaddyLite Features
Optional CartCaddyLite Features
Front and Side CartCaddyLite Dimensions
The CartCaddyLite has the power for applications involving a wide variety of cart types including dollies, hand trucks, a linen cart, hospital carts, a maintenance cart, and a hospital bed. Our CartCaddyLite electric cart linen cart pusher has the ability to maneuver easily in extremely tight spaces.

Our ancestors were farmers and lived in La Nucia, a few kilometers away from Benidorm. Our great grandfather, Francisco, married Josefina, a beautiful lady from Castellon, 250 kilometers away from Benidorm. She had to move back to La Nucia; therefore, she sold all her inheritance from Castellon. With that money she bought a property with land in Benidorm, what is now San Francisco Apartments. It was a country residence, which had the typical Mediterranean plantation such as orange trees, lemon trees, almond trees and olive trees. This property was about 4ha large, with a labor house, a fresh water well and a pond for irrigation. Interestingly, the house had some tiles with the image of Saint Francis of Assisi.
During the 1940's and 50's their children (Antonia and Pepe) decided to go to university and in the future they were dedicated to their new professions. Meanwhile, during the 50's tourism flourished and in the 60's the real estate boom took place in Benidorm. Pedro Zaragoza, a Benidorm major during that time, envisions a great Benidorm and started to develop rustic areas near the Levante beach, including Josefina's property. Part of the property was divided and cut by new streets, in order to create new plots of land to construct new buildings. Theses new streets needed to be urbanized by the property owners (in this case Francisco and their children). Asphalt for the roads, streetlights, or sewage systems to cite some examples.
They kept the house with 8000m²; however, after the death of Francisco and Josefina, they had to sell the house to a developer in 1990. The way of paying was to build the San Francisco Apartments complex. The San Francisco Apartments in Benidorm were born and transmitted to the children of Antonia and Pepe. We, Antonia's children and great children, rent these apartments to keep our ancestors' legacy.

I don't seem to be having much look with the flights at the moment. I've finally hit Mumbai, but did so via the city of Amsterdam thanks to some divine intervention from Him-on-High. After buying a ridiculously cheap ticket to India (less than £250 return), I took a train all the way up to Birmingham, pulling into England's second city at 5.30 PM. From there, I jumped another train toward Birmingham International, but got off a couple of stops early so I could sharpen up for Bombay. Above me, the planes were beginning their ascent, & all about lay hooded gangs with dodgy accents. I walked a few miles, through the pleasant suburbs of Marston Green, before reaching the airport with ten hours to spare. To kill time I found a nearby hotel, reached via the megalithic NEC centre. There wasn't a show on, so I found myself wandering through its cavernous interior like Jonah in the belly of the Whale. At the hotel I sat down with a couple of pints; watched the Birmingham / Coventry match – very apt – before mooching back to the airport & settling down for the night on a comfy Burger-King seat. Come morning, me & my fellow passengers were led onto the plane at 6AM, only to be told Amsterdam was full of fog & the plane had been delayed. During this time I reflected on how well my new 'e' passport worked; it is a veritable breeze at check-in, all computerized, & that… I'd basically been using a dodgy passport for ten years – no more nerves anymore every time I pass through passport control.
After 4 hours on the tarmac we finally set off, soaring through the dull mists into the bright, amber sunshine of the lower heavens, before descending back into the thick fog which blanketed Holland. At this point, the pilot told us we would be landing blind, a first time for me and a little nerve-wracking. Anyhow, we landed safely, only to be placed in a queue for a new set of tickets… this has turned out to be a flight to London at 7, followed by a nonstop flight to Bombay, getting there at 11am tomorrow. I don't mind really, cos it avoids late night crooks fleecing me in Bombay and I also get a chance to wander the canals and coffeshops, plus do a spot of window shopping down the Red Light district.
I decided to jump trains in & out of Schiphol airport, the yellow & blue double-deckers a nightmare for jumping – you have four different directions the conductors can come. I performed the train-jump perfectly of course, & was soon monorailing through the fog, over countless parked-up bicycles & anonymous suburbs, into the heart of Holland itself. I spent a pleasant couple of hours in the city centre, the sun a pale, white disc through the fog, lending a surreal glow to the proceedings. The Red Light district was just warming up for the afternoon trade; a handful of pimps, dealers & various miscreants slouching about, plus one 'sex' window in ten containing mainly Eastern European ladies entertaining a trickle of punters. Not me, though, & I just coffee'd & reefer'd it til the train-jump back to the airport. It was my last chance to cash in my complimentary tickets from KLM for the messy flight & so I had a huge steak dinner.
Getting out of Amsterdam was gorgeous, my plane at first slowly wheeling for ages through the mist, over motorways & canals; while other planes moved about like ghostly blimps as one-by-one we got ready to take off. Those in front did so with a huge roar & were soon just a tail-light twinkling as it faded into the fog. Finally it was our turn, & with a rush of power we were launched heavingly into the air. An hour later I was landing at Heathrow, marked out from the sky by the huge glasshouse terminal that glows with effervescent light. I then had to rush through London Heathrow to make my connection, picking up a copy of Viz en route (an unexpected bonus) & all of a sudden found myself surrounded by Indians! We were all catching a Jet Airways plane to Mumbai, which turned out to be an excellent experience – comfy as fuck, tasty food, good movies & a host of freebies – of which the toothpaste, blanket, socks, eye-coverers & comfy pillow will be accompanying me on my tour.
Ten hours later I finally made it to India, crazy fuckin' country that it is! On arrival I immediately deflected an attempt at the pre-paid taxi rank to rip me off (short changed). I shared the taxi with an innocent Aussie, & as we hurtled through the epic sprawl of Mumbai I passed on some of the wisdom I'd received when arriving green-gilled a few years back. I mean, Mumbai is huge, about 25 million souls rushing around its virtually identical roads. We felt like a couple of white blood-cells (the tan hasn't kicked in yet) surging around the arteries of a phantastic Chimera of the days of legend.
In the center of town, & with my lecture over, me & the Ozzie booked into the Salvation Army hostel & proceeded to go for a walk. My first target was the Britannia-topped, Empire-kitsch wonder that is the Victoria Train Station. I bought a ticket for Goa departing the next morning, wanting to get out of the crazy days as soon as possible. Unfortunately, tomorrow morning I have to head across town on the rail network – the busiest in the world – in fact half of all India's trains come in & out of Mumbai, with people clinging to every spare bit of atom, hanging off the roof & sides – I guess it's gonna be fun.
On the way back to base, I visited the Asiatic Society's Library. A splendid old white building which still uses cards to catalogue its books. It is also full of greaco-roman lifesize marble statues of not very famous Britons who'd been involved in the Empire. It reminded me that India is a land of opportunity for any Tom, Dick or Harry. Well, with a little will & hard work I can get these kural translated & maybe create a paper statue to my own literary efforts.

Data Governance
Data driven economyEconomic DevelopmentInternet Ethics & Regulations
Organizer 1: Melanie Stilz, Konnektiv Development AgencyOrganizer 2: Romy Hilbig, Berlin University of the Art | Weizenbaum InstituteOrganizer 3: Stefan Ullrich, TU Berlin | Weizenbaum InstituteOrganizer 4: Christopher Raetzsch, Aarhus Universitet
Speaker 1: Yuya Shibuya, Civil Society, Asia-Pacific GroupSpeaker 2: Christopher Raetzsch, Intergovernmental Organization, Western European and Others Group (WEOG)Speaker 3: Luana Lund, Government, Latin American and Caribbean Group (GRULAC)
Round Table - Circle - 90 Min
Description: The Weizenbaum Institute developed a knowledge tool that allows us to explain abstract concepts like sustainable Data Governance in an interactive hands-on-workshop with the participants of the IGF both during the session and afterwards at our booth at the IGF village.
We are planning a 90 minutes session. The possible workshop schedule:
30 minutes: Introduction of the topic, the knowledge tool and the different data governance scenarios
30 minutes: Interactive modelling of future Data Governance scenarios with the participants
30 minutes: Reflective wrap-up phase with critical approach to feasibility and possible confluence of multicultural stakeholder viewsExpected Outcomes: The interactive pathfinder for sustainable Data Governance will produce commonly shared guard rails for policy recommendations that in turn help to formulate concrete call for actions or policy recommendations in a specific case. The interactive augmented reality tool also visualises »trails of thought« (MEMEX, V. Bush 1946) that can be commented by remote participants and fellow colleagues. At the end of the workshop session, all recorded discourse interactions will be transferred to a website that can be explored by the interested public later on.
The workshop will also be a kickoff for cooperations between various international scientific, political and civil society organisations regarding sustainable Data Governance.
Data Governance exists worldwide in different variants, from top-down to bottom-up approaches. Conflicts of interest can arise in a global context that can only be resolved if there is a common framework with formulated guard rails on which all parties can agree without too much compromise. The tricky part is how to find these guard rails that serve in both directions: On the one hand, they must ensure individual sovereignty; on the other hand, they must ensure sustainability and possibly restrict individual decisions.
By identifying guard rails for policy recommendations, we will address the fundamental questions of bias and sustainability of these recommendations like: How can policy development in Data Governance be supported by technical tools? How can we identify and define differences and similarities in Data Governance across regions? In what ways can improved Data Governance influence the use and development of the Internet? With an interactive augmented reality knowledge tool developed by the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society, we want to help to formulate policy recommendations for sustainable Data Governance for a specific scenario but with an universal validity in mind.
Relevance to Theme: In a data driven entrepreneurial model, there are complex ethical, legal, economic, and technical dimensions to regard in order to formulate a policy or regulatory recommendation. Our workshops will help to identify and discuss dependencies between these dimensions and find criteria for exclusion or inclusion of specific technologies for a given scenario.Relevance to Internet Governance: To tackle a problem such as Data Governance, you first have to grasp an abstract topic in a multi-facetted debate. Our interactive pathfinder tool for sustainable Data Governance is an augmented reality »knowledge tool« (Ullrich & Messerschmidt 2019) that helps identifying guard rails and constraints in various scenarios. These scenarios will be discussed by a diverse, multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary group of workshop participants. By using our interactive knowledge tool, the participants will shape policy recommendations transparent to remote participants who then can use smart polling systems to rate these recommendations. With that kind of feedback, the workshop participants can not only identify discourse hot spots but also address their hidden assumptions that were shaped by culture.

Ask Andrew Bolt and the Queensland three. Does the Cabinet Room of this Government give a damn?
Behaviour monitors at the football.
Naturally no alcohol was detected and as the container was nigh empty acquaintance asked if the behaviour monitor would be so kind as to dispose of said sniffed container.
Much (expected) offence taken and an attempt was made to throw said acquaintance out of the ground.
Thwarted, a behaviour monitor posse formed and remained vigilant nearby until the end of the game hoping for some infraction that would warrant an ejection.
How long did it take the once-helpful British bobbies to become the front line of the politically correct police state?
Similarly the constabulary of the People's Republic of Victoriastan.

Once you go to organic skincare and cosmetics, you suddenly become obsessed with finding brands that will work for you without compromising your standards for beauty. Sappho Organic Cosmetics is huge winner in my book. Named for Sappho was one of the great Greek lyricists and one of the few known female poets of her time (circa 630 BC).
Eco-conscious Organic Makeup by Sappho Organic CosmeticsEach product has been formulated for purity, ease of application, quality and beauty. Our liquid foundations are preserved entirely with essential oils, chock full of antioxidants, coloured with minerals, made in North America and packaged for utility and recyclability. Most of our products are vegan, all are free of parabens, phthalates, gluten, mineral oil, talc and dimethicone.Awarded "Champion" status by the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, Environmental Working Groupwww.skindeep.comCelebrated by Hollywood clientele and makeup artists alike, Sappho Organic Cosmetics are sexy and lush, and they look and feel great on your skin. We have diligently developed products we believe are eco-friendly, safe and truly wonderful…Sappho wrote about love, and it is with much love that this project has been founded.
I was lucky enough to try a few items from this wonderful line and I am one word....obsessed! The blushes are some of the best I have tried. I got to sample Emma, Tutz and Andrea. Andrea is perfect for imparting a summer glow. Emma is a peachy-pink that is truly gorgeous on all skin tones and Tutz is pink with blue undertones (think ballerina). They are all Paraben, dimethicone, phthalate and gluten free. They are all also vegan!
My other Sappho Organic Cosmetics winners are the lip glosses. Each color is truly wearable and are vegan and organic. They smell like a citrus summer drink. I have tried both Rita and Haze (gorgeous for the fall plum look). They are chock-full of moisturizing ingredients you will love (without the chemicals you don't). They last through my morning green tea and frankly I can no longer live without them.
So my next foray into Sappho Organic Cosmetics will have to be the liquid foundation, which let's face it, if it is even half as good as the blush and lip gloss, will be liquid gold! Beauty and eco-conscious sustainability? I am in!

Surviving are his wife of 58 years, Josephine Ganguzza Masucci; two sons and daughters-in-law, Peter and Linda Masucci of Westwood, and Vincent and Peggy Masucci of Barnegat; two daughters and sons-in-law, Carol and Tony Gaeta of Montville, and Michele and John Pitt of Barnegat; a brother, Peter Masucci of Garfield; and nine grandchildren, Michael, Danielle, Peter Jr., Megan, Janelle, Nicholas, John Jr., Brianne and Ashley.
"James" was my Grandmother's cousin, they lived next door to each in Garfield,NJ for many years. He really celebrated life and I'll miss him.
On a more cycling related topic, this past weekend, I got my mother to ride a bike for 15 minutes. I don't think she can remember the last time she was actually on a bike. I tried to tell her that 30 minutes a day for three days a week is the minimum recommended amount of exercise to reduce the risk of diabetes and I couldn't remember the stats, but I did tell her that it will also reduce her risk of breast cancer(Bicycling Magaine ran an article citing studies that cycling reduces the risk of breast cancer.)
I've been twisting my mother's arm(and her sister Antonina) to ride a 10 mile event called the Heidi's Chain of Hope(10 mile,25 mile, 62 mile) a ride to benefit the Cancer House of Hope.
A bit of background though, my mother's sister Gaetana(for those at home keeping track, my grandfather had 4 daughters, no sons) is a Breast Cancer Survivor as is my cousin Linda Armstrong(no relation to LA). After recovering, Gaetana started the Cancer House of Hope as a place where people could come for emotional, psychological, and educational support in the Westfield, MA area. I met Heidi at the inaguaral "Chain Of Hope" ride two years ago. This year, the ride has been named in her memory and I will be riding it with my mother and Aunt in tow. If you are in the Westfield, MA area mid-May please consider riding the event, its a good cause. Or to make a donation Click here.
