Individuo Look Book
Individuo is a wool-rich fabric with a distinctive look and feel available in four contemplative colourways. Its fluid, graduated colour appearance is ever-changing and ensures no two areas of fabric are the same. We worked closely with our dyers throughout the development process to perfect a special dyeing technique. It was important to create the right look, depth of colour and to have a collection of colours that all responded with the right amount of contrast during the dyeing process. We have created a digital look book, which showcases this beautiful fabric from development to finished fabric.
Bast Fibre Blends
From field to fabric… Our new Bast Fibre Blends brochure explains how we are pioneering designers and manufacturers of bast fibre fabrics made from innovative blends of pure new wool combined with naturally occurring textile fibres derived from harvested nettles, hemp, flax and jute. Bast fibres are found in the outer part of the stem of the plant, just inside the bark, making them strong, elastic and flexible, so ideal characteristics for spinning into yarn and weaving into fabric.
Bus Users Survey
We asked over 600 passengers in six different regions exactly what they think of the fabrics and finishes on the seats of the buses they travel on.

Option #2: in addition to the above, allows for a family to join the program with the use of some classroom days at BA. This option allows students to attend classes at BA during the three days of the Home School Conference and the week of field days at no charge. In addition to these days, the students are allowed 20 classroom days at BA per school year at the day rate of full-time students if they choice the Dual Enrollment option.
Requirements of all home school families include parents providing their own curriculum, monitoring their children's progress and reaching the goals of the chosen curriculum, and adhering to their home country's educational standards and expectations.

Our top sights, highlights and exclusive tips
We help you plan your trip
All our trips are tailored by our South Pacific experts to meet your needs. We will create a unique offer for you - free of charge and without obligation.Plan your Trip
Tahiti has rightfully earned the reputation as a paradise retreat full of bedazzling nature and colorful underwater findings. Allow your imagination to be taken as though a wave by the blue South Pacific waters that surround this tropical island. Hike a mountain until you reach French Polynesia's highest point. Walk beneath waterfalls, take a dip in a green lagoon, or perhaps visit Papeete, a modernized island city full of esplanade walkways and warm local welcomes. It's all here in the fantastical French Polynesian island of Tahiti.
Mont Orohena
Water Gardens Vaipahi
Plage Vaiava
Faarumai Waterfall
Tahiti Lagoon Paradise
Rise up with the sun and ready to hike Mt. Orohena, an extinct volcano that reaches the dizzying heights of 7,352 feet, is French Polynesia's highest point. For those wishing to get lost in the clouds, guides are available to offer insight into the volcanoes slightly unusual rock formation, flora and vegetation. On a clear day the sweeping views from the peak of this mountain are endless and worldly.
Coconut trees, lily pads, and cascading waters; few gardens on earth can rival the tranquil vibe of the aquatic: Water Gardens Vaipahi. Located on the south coast of the Island, several tours will walk you through overhanging trees and spilling waters, whilst introducing you to fragrant lilies so intricate in detail, you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd entered the Garden of Eden.
Sun yourself beside the shallow waters found at Plague Vaiava. A popular spot for locals (always a good sign) and tourists alike, paddle boarding, a snorkel, or cool down swim are popular pastimes at this idyllic beach-side retreat. Lay back with a good book or company as you catch rays in this tranquil west coast setting that's always in vogue.
A 45-minute drive from Papeete, winding roads lead to the falling waters of Faarumai. Enjoy this purely natural environment in utter peace. A short stroll through mape and coconut trees leads to two other waterfalls (Haamaremare Rahi and Haamaremare Iti). A dip in the natural pool waters found in this area will feel divine.
French Polynesia's capital, Papeete bursts with authentic Polynesian life, enthralling museums (check out Pearl Museum), markets, excellent fresh cuisine, and charming local welcomes. Papeete's main market, Marche de Papeete (5 am opening) bubbles with life as locals explore the various artisan stands and fresh food stalls on offer. The waterfront esplanade is the perfect spot to witness a crimson sunset in this modestly sized and modernized city.
The aptly named Tahiti Lagoon Paradise provides you with private tours that accommodate snorkeling alongside dolphins, turtles and tropical fish. Explore the jagged coral reef found in the underworld below. The streaked blues of these waters will enchant as you catch a breath, whilst taking in the stunning backdrop of Mount Orohena.

Hello! I — blogger, love of God and people. Food — it is certainly good and well, but we must remember that in front of us waiting for eternity and where we spend it, depends only on us!
Everyone in some sins, but the severity of this sin saved us JESUS CHRIST!
And if we repent of our sins and call upon his heart and Christ, we shall be saved from hell, which is prepared for the devil, but the devil does not want to go there himself and tempts people to sin. But God loves us, because he gave for us on the death of the most precious thing he had — his Son Jesus.
Pray a prayer: Heavenly Father! I ask you — I'm sorry, I repent of my sins, because I lived without you. Jesus Christ, come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior, make me be what You want me to. I thank thee that in eternity I will be with you! Amen.

(Dedicated to Marti Anderson, Melinda and John Tackitt, Erin Lance and her mom, Louise, Karen Duncanwood, Don and Tieka, Mary Carll, the Wilds, Rick Silva and family, the Chauvin family, Renee Goulart and Stephen Rose, and everyone else I knew in Paradise and Magalia, displaced by the fire, still seeking firm ground three months later. And to those I didn't know, too.)
I've moved often in the course of my lifetime. Most Americans do. The last move I made, however, was involuntary, forced by the huge conflagration that took our home of some sixteen years, the longest we'd ever lived in one place. Along with tens of thousands who lost their homes (and even their hometown) to that catastrophic blaze that took the "Pleasure" out of Paradise and environs, we've been trying to adjust to a world in which the stove isn't where it used to be, where the sun comes in through different windows in strange bedrooms, and where things don't readily come to hand as they once did in more familiar surroundings.
In a quote sometimes attributed to Mark Twain, "it ain't that people are ignorant so much it is that they know so much that isn't so." It also turns out to be true that it ain't so much what we don't know so much as it is what we have to learn over and over again, a thought that has occurred to me quite often of late as we worked to make a new home for ourselves. Once, a long time ago, my wife designed a house we built on ten acres out in the woods up in Quincy. We tried hard to make the place perfect, custom made for our specific needs and our personalities, with a place for everything and everything in its best and proper place. Before the foundation was poured, we tried to anticipate everything. We weren't wealthy, so we didn't have carte blanche or a blank check. Within reason, however, we should have been able to forecast and plan for our own needs, the fulfillment of our basic desires for comfort and convenience.
Alas, we didn't entirely manage that. Although it was a most pleasant house in a place I loved, there just was no way to clearly foresee what actual day-to-day living would be like under that roof. There was a lot we got right, much that Karen planned wisely for, but it was surprising how many things we hadn't considered, how many times we found ourselves saying "we should have…" or "we could have" done this thing or that thing once we had lived in the place for awhile and found that we would still be required to adapt to the house, even though we thought few adaptations would be necessary.
We are now trying to adapt to a house that is about 500 square feet smaller than the one we lost to fire on November 8th. We've furnished this little rental and made it comfy. Despite our best efforts, however, it is slow to become entirely"homey" yet. Two months later, we remain in the process of adapting ourselves to the new space, getting used to where to find the paper towels, or to know without thinking just how much fiddling is required to make the water temp in the shower not too hot and not too cold. We have to look for where to plug in the vacuum cleaner, and our cats have had to adjust to a place that lacks a cat door. Then, too, three cats in a house as small as this presents its own challenges, especially since the cats' litter boxes are no longer out in the over-sized garage we had up in Magalia.
I'm not complaining, mind you. I'm just reminding myself that even if we had moved by choice, even if the house we rented was twice as big and twice as nice, we would still be finding it necessary to adjust ourselves to the new spatial arrangements that shelter us from the elements.
And I say this especially for so many people in Paradise who lived in their houses far longer than we lived in ours, people who may not have had a fraction of the experience with moving and resettling that we had before we moved to the ridge.
A bit of cheap advice then, for what it's worth: Do all you can to make where you are your home, but also bear in mind that wherever we go, there we are. Whether renting, buying, or dependent upon the kindness of strangers, no matter what color the walls are painted or the unfamiliar furniture arranged, our space never really becomes ours without the undeniable difficulties of adapting ourselves to new surroundings.
Especially, perhaps, when those changes come unexpectedly and under dire duress.

BELLFLOWER, Calif. (KABC) -- A two-year-old girl was severely injured in a fall at a Bellflower apartment complex on Monday.
Responding officers said the child landed on concrete after a one-story fall.
Her injuries were so severe that deputies rushed her to Long Beach Memorial Hospital in their squad car, rather than wait for an ambulance to arrive.
There is no word yet on the child's current condition.

The Cloud Chasers Dream – Quad Coils Supported
Tsunami 24 Plus RDA by GeekVape
GeekVape Tsunami 24 RDA is an update of the popular Tsunami RDA atomizer, which was recently launched by Geekvape. The device uses the same performance as the smaller diameter version, offering users several additional benefits:
The increased diameter of the atomizer allowed to increase its width and, as a result, to increase the working volume of the liquid and coils size. Now taking into account the E-liquid the atomizer is able to hold about 1.5 ml of liquid.
Also, as the second improvement of the increase in the diameter of the device, when using wide spirals, it is now much more convenient to stack the wick tails in the base.
For the squonk mod lovers, when there is a squonk bottle with E-liquid under the RDA, when pressed, the liquid enters the base of the Tsunami RDA. Complete with center pin with internal cut is supplied with the device, allowing you to quickly convert this RDA dripper into a bottom feeder.
GeekVape Tsunami RDA dripper features
Geekvape is a company that never stops at what has been accomplished and is constantly expanding its product range to cater to lovers of completely different configurations. The format of devices with a diameter of 24 mm literally a year ago was rejected by the market and was considered something unaesthetic and out of standards, but with the growth of the dimensions of mechanical mods and battery packs with electronic boards, atomizers with larger diameters became relevant. Increasing the diameter of devices allows you to make the winding and maintenance of atomizers a little more convenient, allowing creative users to use much more massive winding while offering a larger working volume of devices.
The GeekVape Tsunami RDA, like his younger brother, is an RDA that is serviced by a drip and needs to be installed independently. For building coils, you will need a wire to create a spiral. You can use kantal, nichrome, various types of wire for thermal monitoring, or various options for ready-made coils such as Clapton, Staple wire and many others offered by Geekvape. As the wick material, you can use Japanese organic cotton or cellulose fiber.
Structurally, the GeekVape Tsunami RDA consists of three parts: the base with racks, the body of the RDA chamber and the drip type.
RDA Body
The device's spirals are blown in similarly to the well-known Kennedy atomizer: at the bottom of the base there are two oval holes with a height of 3.5 mm and a width of 8 mm for air supply, each of which passes into two holes under the spirals, each 4 mm wide. On the body of the RDA chamber there are three similar holes, by combining these holes and turning the body of the RDA chamber, you can adjust the airflow to your preference. Since the holes on the body of the RDA chamber are three, the dip atomizer can be used both in a double helix and in a single helix configuration.
RDA 510 Connection
The connector part is made according to the standard 510, the positive pin is gold-plated for better contact and is adjustable in length using a positive screwdriver. The Tsunami RDA also includes an additional positive pin made of stainless steel, designed for squonk mods. These are battery packs that carry a bubble with a liquid, when pressed, the liquid enters the atomizer through the positive contact.
The positive rack insulator is made of PEEK material, which is produced in Germany and is a plastic that is resistant to high temperatures.
At the bottom of the atomizer there is information about the manufacturer of the device, the serial number of the specific instance and the autograph of the chief designer of Geekvape.
The inner part of the body of the RDA chamber is processed in the form of a hemisphere, which is made for the best flavor transfer.
Build Deck
The base of the GeekVape Tsunami RDA is made according to the principles laid down by the Velocity atomizer – two massive racks are spaced apart on opposite sides of the base. In each rack there are two through wide openings for mounting spirals, each 3 mm wide and 2.1 mm high, and the distance between the posts is 6.6 mm. Taken together, these numbers mean that in this drip atomizer, you can set the winding of absolutely any complexity without any restrictions. When installing the spiral are fixed in the holes with hexagon wrench screws.
Drip Tips

Collaborative ideation is a key practice for innovation. Implementing suitable appropriability mechanisms during this collaborative ideation is a necessary yet difficult task. This difficulty owes to a high level of uncertainty and low level of codification because partners work on loosely defined concepts that may change during the collaboration. Firms can employ several appropriability mechanisms to protect their knowledge. Examples include patents, copyright, legal agreements, document management, lead time, secrecy and complexity. However, the best time to apply each mechanism remains unclear, and few empirical studies have explored this issue. This study is based on exploratory case studies of three manufacturing firms. The goal is to identify which appropriability mechanisms are pertinent at each phase of collaborative ideation and how they influence the effectiveness of protection. The results of the analysis lead to the development of a model describing the managerial practices that influence the effectiveness of protection. The results also lead to a set of research propositions to define when each appropriability mechanism is most likely to be used. Overall, this research contributes to the discussion of how to integrate formal and informal appropriability mechanisms for safe collaborative ideation. The paper concludes by discussing theoretical and managerial implications as well as directions for future research.
Validerad;2019;Nivå 2;2019-04-11 (oliekm)
The front end of innovation is critical to innovative efforts in firms yet it remains to be poorly understood. This especially important since innovation efforts in the front end are becoming increasingly open in line with the era of open innovation. Although the literature on the front end of innovation is well developed, prior studies have largely focused on bilateral agreements and have overlooked conditions for collaborations with science-based partners (universities and research institutes). This is especially true for manufacturing firms, for which a continuous stream of new product ideas are a key source of competitiveness. To make things worse, the front end of innovation in this setting is often characterized by incongruent practices by partners, different magnitudes of fuzziness, and high risks in revealing new ideas. Developing new product definitions with different partners is thus a risky endeavor that may seriously compromise competitive advantages if mishandled. Therefore, there is a need for greater knowledge to facilitate the collaborative front end with different types of partners. Accordingly, the purpose of this dissertation is to understand how to manage the collaborative front end in manufacturing firms, with a particular focus on requirements, capabilities, and conditions.
To fulfill this research purpose, data on manufacturing firms were collected through four case studies and one survey. In total, this dissertation is based on empirical data from 81 interviews with R&D members across 10 medium-sized and large manufacturing firms, as well as a survey of 146 small and medium-sized manufacturing firms. Respondents were based in Brazil or Sweden. The key theories and literatures covered in this dissertation include coordination modes, control mechanisms, organizational routines, the resource-based view, and appropriability mechanisms.
This dissertation makes numerous theoretical contributions to the front-end literature. First, it extends the front-end literature by presenting the concepts of systematic idea generation and fuzziness assessment as a prerequisite for improving front-end performance. Second, this dissertation extends the front-end literature by listing the collaboration conditions that help firms cooperate with science-based partners. By collaborating with science-based partners, firms can access (unpublished) codified and tacit scientific knowledge, enabling them to rapidly build on the latest research findings. The findings suggest particular practices that can be applied to reduce cultural differences and diminish goal divergence among project members. Third, the findings in this dissertation enrich the front-end literature by describing a set of detailed practices to streamline the involvement of different types of partners using diverse protective practices. Fourth, it suggests a theoretical framework that describes how to manage the collaborative front end of innovation. The theoretical framework explains how manufacturing firms can use their organizational capabilities to develop new product ideas efficiently and safely. In particular, the framework discerns the capabilities that are necessary to explore mechanisms, practices, and routines in terms of divergent thinking, external expertise, and multiple opinions. Altogether, these contributions assist firms to better manage collaborative front end.

Debbie Macomber brings us to the Alaskan wilderness for a magical Christmas tale about finding love where it's least expected.
Before beginning her dream job as sous chef in one of Seattle's hottest new restaurants, Josie Avery takes a summer position cooking at a lakeside lodge in the remote Alaskan town of Ponder. Josie falls for the rustic charms of the local community—including Jack Corcoran, the crotchety keeper of Ponder's famed sourdough starter, and, in particular, the quiet and intense Palmer Saxon, a famed master swordsmith.
Josie and Palmer become close during the long Alaskan summer days, but Josie knows that, come fall, she'll be returning to reality and the career she's worked so hard for. Palmer, on the other hand, would like nothing better than to make Josie his wife and to keep her in Ponder. But Josie can't imagine abandoning her mother back in the Emerald City and sacrificing her career to stay in this isolated town—not even for a man she's quickly coming to love.
Fate has other plans. Josie misses the last boat out of town before winter sets in, stranding her in Ponder and putting her dream job at risk. As the holidays approach, Josie and Palmer must grapple with the complications that arise when dreams confront reality, and the Christmas magic that can happen when they put their faith in love.

If not for her loving but controlling parents, Beth Prudhomme might never have taken charge of her life and moved from her native Chicago to Portland, Oregon, where she's reconnected with her spirited Aunt Sunshine and found a job as a high school music teacher. If not for her friend Nichole, Beth would never have met Sam Carney, although first impressions have left Beth with serious doubts. Sam is everything Beth is not—and her parents' worst nightmare: a tattooed auto mechanic who's rough around the edges. Reserved and smart as a whip, Beth isn't exactly Sam's usual beer-drinking, pool-playing type of woman, either.
But if not for an awkward setup one evening, Beth might never have left early and been involved in a car crash. And if not for Sam—who witnessed the terrifying ordeal, rushed to her aid, and stayed with her until help arrived—Beth might have been all alone, or worse. Yet as events play out, Sam feels compelled to check on Beth almost daily at the hospital—even bringing his guitar to play songs to lift her spirits. Soon their unlikely friendship evolves into an intense attraction that surprises them both.
Before long, Beth's strong-willed mother, Ellie, blows into town spouting harsh opinions, especially about Sam, and reopening old wounds with Sunshine. When shocking secrets from Sam's past are revealed, Beth struggles to reconcile her feelings. But when Beth goes a step too far, she risks losing the man and the life she's come to love.

Nine months ago, Mark Taylor abruptly left Cedar Cove on a perilous mission to right a wrong from his past.

The Rose Harbor Inn barely seems the same without Mark, but Jo Marie can't bear to lose herself in grief once more. Determined to move forward, she begins dating again, and finds companionship when she takes on a boarder who is starting a new chapter herself.
Recovering from a twice-broken heart, Emily Gaffney, a young teacher, is staying at the inn while she looks for a home of her own. Having given up on marriage, Emily dreams of adopting children someday. She has her eye on one house in particular—with room for kids. Although Emily's inquiries about the house are rudely rebuffed, her rocky start with the owner eventually blossoms into a friendship. But when the relationship verges on something more, Emily will have to rethink what she truly wants and the chances she's willing to take.
The inn seems to be working its magic again—Emily opening herself up to love, Jo Marie moving on—until Jo Marie receives shocking news.

After high school, Cassie ran away from home to marry the wrong man, throwing away a college scholarship and breaking her parents' hearts.

Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy know that an angel's work is never done, especially during a time as wondrous as New Year's Eve. With an apprentice angel, Will, under their wings, they descend upon Times Square in New York City eager to join in the festivities. And when Will spies two lonely strangers in the crowd, he decides midnight is the perfect time to lend a heavenly helping hand.
Lucie Farrara and Aren Fairchild meet after bumping into each other—seemingly by accident—in Times Square on New Year's Eve.

But just as quickly as they're brought together, another twist of fate tears them apart, leaving Lucie and Aren with no way to reconnect.
A year later, Lucie is the chef of an acclaimed new restaurant and Aren is a successful columnist for a major New York newspaper. For all the time that's passed, the two have not forgotten their one serendipitous evening—and neither have Shirley, Goodness, Mercy, and Will.

Shy and dutiful Hannah must learn to follow her own heart . . .
And frustrated small-town-girl-turned- Broadway-wannabe Jenny needs to discover that home is where love truly lies.
It's time for the angels to shine . . . and to prove once again that when you wish upon a star, you get much more than just a pretty song!

Guess what? I'm falling in love! With Mack McAfee.
My baby daughter, Noelle, and I have been living next door to Mack since the spring. I'm still a little wary about our relationship, since I haven't always made good decisions when it comes to men. My baby's father, David Rhodes, is testament to that. I'm so worried he might sue for custody.
In the meantime, the World War II letters I found are a wonderful distraction. Both Mack and I are trying to learn what happened to the soldier who wrote them and the woman he loved.
Come by sometime for a glass of iced tea and I'll show you the letters. Plus I'll tell you the latest about Grace and Olivia, my brother Linc and his wife, Lori (who tied the knot about 5 minutes after they met!), and all our other mutual friends. Oh, and maybe Mack can join us…

Dear Listener,
I have something to confide in you. I think my husband, Dave, might be having an affair. I found an earring in his pocket, and it's not mine. I'm also worried because some jewelry was recently stolen from an old woman—and Dave used to visit her a lot. You see, he's a pastor. And a good man. I can't believe he's guilty of anything, but why won't he tell me where he's been when he comes home so late?
Listener, I'd love to hear what you think. I also want to tell you what's going on with your other friends in Cedar Cove. Like Sheriff Troy Davis, to mention one. His long-ago love, Faith Beckwith, just moved here!
So come on in and join me for a cup of tea.

Opposite Attract
Cain had chosen his lifestyle. He thrived on the challenge. No drug, he told himself, could produce the physical or emotional high of a successfully completed mission. No drug and no woman.
Then why was he standing on a cold San Francisco pier like a lovelorn teenager, hoping for a glimpse of Linette Collins?
And then he saw her. For a moment it felt as if someone had hit him against the back of his head. He went stock-still.
She stood in line at a fish and chips place. The wind whipped her hair about her face and she lifted a finger to wrap a thick strand of dark hair behind her ear.
The smart thing to do was to turn around, and walk away as fast as his feet would carry him. He'd gotten what he wanted. One last look at her. His curiosity should be satisfied.
But even as his mind formulated the thought, Cain knew that just seeing Linette again wasn't enough.

Dear Reader,
I'm living a life I couldn't even have dreamed of a few years ago. I'm married to Bobby Polgar now (you know, the famous chess champion who just happens to be the man I love!). And we've got this beautiful house with a view of Puget Sound.
Lately something's been worrying Bobby, though. When I asked, he said he was "protecting his queen"-and I got the oddest feeling he wasn't talking about chess but about me. He wouldn't say anything else.
Do you remember Get Nailed, the beauty salon in Cedar Cove? I still work there. I'll tell you about my friend Rachel, who's got two men interested in her (count 'em, two). And I'll let you in on what I've heard about Linnette McAfee, who left town when her love life fell apart. (That kind of trouble I know all about.) Come in soon for a manicure and a chat, okay?

Dear Reader,
You don't know me yet, but in a few hours that's going to change. You see, I'm inviting you to my home and my town of Cedar Cove because I want ou to meet my family, friends, and neighbors. Come and hear their stories - maybe even their secrets!
I have to admit that my own secrets are pretty open. My marriage failed some years ago, and I have a rather ... difficult relationship with my daughter, Justine. Then there's my mother, Charlotte, who has plenty of opinions and is always willing to share them.
Here's an example: I'm a family court judge and she likes to drop in on my courtroom. Recently I was hearing a divorce petition. In Charlotte's view, young Cecilia and Ian Randall hadn't tried hard enough to make their marriage work - and I agreed. So I rendered my judgement: Divorce Denied.
Well, you wouldn't believe the reaction! Thanks to an article by Jack Griffin, the editor of our local paper (and a man I wouldn't mind seeing more of!), everyone's talking.
Cedar Cove - people love it and sometimes they leave it, but they never forget it!
See you soon ...
When Susannah Nelson turned eighteen, her parents sent her to school abroad. She said goodbye to her boyfriend, Jake - and never saw him again. She never saw her brother again, either; Doug died in a car accident while she was away.
Now, at fifty, she finds herself regretting the paths not taken. Especially the chance to be with Jake . . . Long married, a mother and a teacher, she should be happy. But she feels there's something missing, although she doesn't know exactly what. Not only that, she's balancing the demands of an aging mother and a temperamental twenty-year-old daughter.
Because her mother, Vivian, a recent widow, is having difficulty coping and living alone, Susannah prepares to make some hard decisions. In returning to her hometown of Colville, Washington, to her parents' house, her girlhood friends and the garden she's always loved, she also returns to the past - and the choices she made back then.
What she discovers is that things are not always as they once seemed. Some paths are dead ends. But some gardens remain beautiful . . .
