Something that almost no one knows about me is that I like to sing, and that I have a really good singing voice. I used to sing with a choir, but that kind of singing didn't really touch me deep down, though I thought the songs were lovely and I enjoyed singing them. Also, my voice was not drowned out by the others, but was part of a greater whole in which my own voice could not be individually sussed out. I liked it that way.
I'm so self-conscious that I'm even afraid of expressing myself when I'm BY myself. I sing in my truck when I'm driving all the time, but the music is usually loud enough that I either can't hear myself very well, or my voice is part of the music, like when I was in the choir. My voice reduces in volume automatically when the music's volume goes down. I'm afraid to hear myself for some reason. It's the same reason I can't dance. There's something about that kind of free and open expression that makes me very afraid. I think it's because those kinds of expression must be full-on. You can't be fettered by self-consciousness or doubt or anything else negative in order to do those things to their fullest extent. And for whatever reason, I am severely hampered by shyness and fear when it comes to things like dancing and singing. I can do them to a certain extent when I'm inebriated, which makes me understand why so many performers are substance abusers. It's the only way they can get up there and do their thing.
I really want to be the kind of person who can dance and sing and not worry about what others think, including myself. I wish I knew why I scrutinize myself so intensely to the extent that I can't sing and dance just with myself. That seems stupid to me, but the part of me that is afraid to do those things doesn't think it's stupid. It thinks I just don't understand, and I don't. Maybe that's some other suppressed aspect of my childhood trying to free itself from time's chains.
I also think it's because I'm afraid of the attention that I know I will get if I express myself that way. I know I can be amazing, and it fills me with fear to imagine having people watch me or hear me in that way, no matter how much they're enjoying it. That part of me wants to be free, but I don't know how to let it go.
Singing and dancing aren't the only things that I can't or don't do because of my own severe self-consciousness. I know how to play some instruments very well (or at least I used to), but I was never able to fully develop my playing skill because I was afraid of other people hearing me, and after time that seeped into my own mind, making it difficult to even hear myself. Maybe that fear of dancing, playing, and singing is just a manifestation of the same scrutiny I put my art through. So much so that even now I look at pieces of my art that make others gasp, and all I see are mistakes. I can't see the beauty through my own perfectionism.
Also, when I think about what it might feel like to dance and sing, I want to cry. Like there's something inside that will be unleashed by doing those things, and I'm afraid of what it might be or for others to see it. Maybe that's that last ball of sadness that still lives deep inside me. I used to think of my sadness as a bottomless well from which bad feelings were constantly upwelling. I feared they would never stop and I would have to wallow in my past for my entire life. Well, in recent times, I've begun to see the bottom of the well, or at least know that it's there. Writing down my life story had a great deal to do with that. Seeing it all laid out and dragged from the proverbial closet put a lot of things in perspective. So did drawing out the path of my life as it related to spirituality, my first task from Spiritual Nomad.
But there's still this knot of sadness whose nature I can't quite put my finger on. I suspect it's not based in anything but habit. It's the manifestation of the soldiers I stationed around my soul in order to protect it from bad people and bad things. They're very good at their job and have done it for so long that they can't see anything but their original orders, like that Japanese soldier they found hiding on a Pacific island who would not deviate from his orders until the Prime Minister of Japan ordered him to stand down. They also praised him for his tenacity and patriotism. I'm trying to do the same thing with the guards in my mind. Their job is done now. Danger has passed. But they don't know what to do with themselves now, and so that ball of sadness sits there, very well guarded by now misguided mental soldiers. Until it's gone, I will feel choked.
I wish I knew how to tell them to stand down. I wish I knew what to tell them to make them feel that their job is over but that they are appreciated. That their protection has become a hindrance in the absence of 'war'.
That they are keeping part of me caged.

Our fans are our biggest asset and as a token of appreciation, we are featuring our biggest Die Hard Fans this month to celebrate Althea's 3rd birthday! Starting off with Renee Alexis: she is an avid writer who enjoys books, coffee breaks, travelling, and Korean skincare products! Read on to find out how she became a huge K-beauty lover with Althea since December 2016!
1) Hey, Renee! Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you became interested in K-beauty.
Hello, my name is Renee Alexis. I am a blogger from the Philippines who loves books, food, and adventure. I came across a friend's post in Instagram sharing her haul from Althea and I was instantly curious about it because the things she bought were super cute! I opened Althea's website and was immediately engrossed by all the wonderful things I saw with my eyes.
From that day on, I would always go to Althea's website to go through what must have been hundreds of pages about all the new products I was seeing. What enticed me more were the lovely curated boxes they had back then that comes with a really great price! I would then go to YouTube to search for more info and video reviews on those products. Until finally after just days of browsing Althea's website and watching YouTube videos, I hauled so many products that I received 4 Let it Snow boxes after Christmas!
That was how I jump-started my K-beauty journey. Through Althea's blog and social media sites, I got to know new products. Through YouTube and K-beauty enthusiasts, I developed a new love and obsession that to this day, I am still very much addicted to. My skin has been through the worst breakout and Korean products have really helped me get past them. I got most of my products from Althea and if I hadn't discovered Althea, I think I wouldn't be into K-beauty this much.
2) In your most honest opinion, tell us what really makes Althea special.
Althea fuels my love for K-beauty. This is the site where I can get authentic products to satisfy my K-beauty craving with reasonable prices and free shipping(!!!). And let's face it, that's what we all look for when we shop for practicality's sake, haha!
Special mention to Althea's curated boxes, they were what I really spend my money on because I've discovered products I got to love by not spending a fortune. Those boxes allowed me to discover and try out new products that I wouldn't even think of purchasing. Oh, how I miss those kinds of boxes...
Another factor I love about Althea and its team is that they appreciate the effort their customers put into the unboxing and review blog/vlog posts they do by recognizing them. I'm just a small-time blogger and sharing my posts in your Facebook page really, really means a lot to me, so thank you so much for that.
Althea differs from other K-beauty sites because they value their customers. They interact with us, whether it's through replying to Facebook comments and messages or engaging on Instagram by liking tagged photos and viewing tagged stories. And also, I just have to say that I enjoy watching every time Eros and Sydney do Althea's IG stories, they have a special place in my heart. ^_^
3) If you could bring 5 beauty items to travel with, what would they be and why?
Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel
This is my favorite soothing gel slash moisturizer of all time. It is that good!
Etude House Soon Jung PH 5.5 Relief Toner
Hands down one of my favorite gentle toners to soothe irritated and sensitive skin!
Son & Park Beauty Water
I love how this product can be used as a cleansing water, a toner, and a refreshing mist. I love its scent and how it contains skin-loving ingredients that don't irritate my acne-prone skin at all!
Nacific Fresh Herb Origin Serum
Loving this one because it contains vitamin C and other antioxidants. I love how its an oil and an essence in one!
Bare Essentials Fixer Cream
Such a rich cream that does wonders to my skin! The moisturizing and plumping effects it does to my skin is priceless, I love this product!
Awesome! Thank you so much, Renee, for your love and support!
Awesome! Thank you so much, Renee, for your love and support!

If US spec audis can be changed to e-code lens, who sells them? ----------------------------- DOT lights, used in USA and Canada, provide a very scattered pattern of light, and the reflectors are not optimized (rather poorly designed, really). The eurolights are the lights used by Audi anywhere but USA and Canada. Eurolights provide a strong distinct pattern, with a sharp vertical cutoff, and a flare on the right side for traffic signs. For the USA, make sure you don't buy lights designed for England, where they drive on the other side of the road, and the flare is thus reversed (left side). I've got more details on my site, including info on wiring harnesses (make your own, or custom by Todd Candey at Vortrag). We recently organized a group purchase through a vender (Denon) for a substantial discount, based on volume; that was supposed to run through October 15, but they will extend it because they're having trouble getting Bosch in Germany to properly package the light units for shipping; about half of the lights they receive are damaged and not useable. See: http://members.aol.com/c1j1miller/eurolights.html Other venders also sell eurolights, such as Metrix in Canada (wholesale only), Blaufergnugen, Wolfsport, ... I think someone on the 20v sublist was also organizing a group purchase of hella H4 lights for 80/90/coupe quattros, with your old lights in trade, running under $300. I don't know if that's good or not. HTH, Chris Miller, Windham NH, email@example.com '91 200q ==> http://members.aol.com/c1j1miller/index.html

(Previous section here.)
Because this is staged in Salzburg, the English dialogue of the play has been translated into German. The sung texts remain in English. You might think this would be strange, but for whatever reason, I didn't find it jarring. And the production gets some good mileage out of the language-swapping; in Act V one of the characters begins a speech about the future glory of Britain, in English, which is interrupted by someone else reminding the speaker, in German, that the audience might not understand what he's saying, and perhaps the speech should be in German – it's quite funny. (And it shows, happily I think, that WWII was a long time ago.)
But there is war in this opera. The costumes of Arthur and his followers look like mid-twentieth century military uniforms, and when the Saxons arrive, they are wearing pith helmets and I think rain capes – but they all seem to have neon-pink hair! Later on, Osmond (I want to call him Donny or something, because then I wouldn't get him mixed up with Oswald) bicycles onto the stage wearing a fatigue-green rain poncho. But this is a production that undercuts "interpretation" in that sense – it's not about WWII, or about twentieth-century war in general. There are too many other things going on, and the production itself is too generally cheerful for that. Philidel (Alexandra Henkel, with singing bits sung by Barbara Bonney) wears a grubby white 17th-century suit and striped socks; Emmeline and Matilda have black dresses and Doc Martens, Harnoncourt gets to wear a little fuzzy hat for the "frost" scene (which has penguins!), there are angels with airplane signal lights during "hither this way," Merlin descends to the stage at one point on a wind-surfing board, the "mirror" that Emmeline looks into when she regains her sight is a video camera, everyone is in evening gowns by the end – there are too many touches like this to list. The cumulative effect is to push the drama right back where it belongs into the realm of lighthearted fairy story.
There is also plenty of interaction between performers and orchestra and performers and audience. While being pursued at one point Philidel leaps down into the orchestra pit and asks one of the violinists "Alice! is there room?" and then pleads with Harnoncourt to have the orchestra play something – "Schubert! Schumann! Verdi! Anything!" as a diversion. In Act IV, Merlin enters through the auditorium, disguised as an elderly and conservative opera-goer who disrupts the performance (an usher tries to intervene, but is powerless to stop the monologue) and holds forth about how she is tired of all these new productions and insists that she knows how the classics ought to be staged, because they were done in their original and appropriate form twenty-five years ago, and all this new nonsense is awful – the scene is quite funny. (The audience in this seems so unresponsive! They don't laugh or react nearly as much as I would expect.)
This production, in other words, is fun and coherent in its very lack of coherence and immensely entertaining – and oh yeah, there is also some pretty nice singing in it.

Only Hospital in Area to be recognized as Center of Excellence
Comprehensive Breast Center in Grand Rapids becomes a Certified Quality Breast Center of Excellence in the National Quality Measures for Breast Centers Program™ (NQMBC™). This distinguished honor represents a commitment by this breast center to provide the highest level of quality breast health care to patients in their community.
Measuring and comparing quality performance is essential in assessing patient care and allocating resources where improvement is desired. In today's dynamic health care industry, breast centers are faced with providing quality care while simultaneously keeping costs under control. A center's staff must not only be familiar with existing standards of care, but must also be aware of new advances in technology. Mercy Health Saint Mary's Comprehensive Breast Center actively ensures they provide the best possible quality care to breast patients in their community.
"Our patients can be assured that we are tracking and measuring our quality against national standards, and we are being found to be a 'center of excellence,'" said Carole Gentry, BSN, Manager, Mercy Health Comprehensive Breast Center in Grand Rapids.
The National Quality Measures for Breast Centers™ were developed by referencing the Health Care Advisory Board's Clinical Quality Dash Board for breast centers published in the fall of 2004. The National Quality Measures for Breast Centers™ reflect more than five years of work, which has culminated in the adoption of more than 33 National Quality Indicators™.
The National Consortium of Breast Centers promotes excellence in breast health care for the general public through a network of diverse professionals dedicated to the active exchange of ideas and resources. It serves as an informational resource and provides support services to those rendering care to people with breast diseases through educational programs, newsletters, a national directory and patient forums. It encourages professionals to concentrate and specialize in activities related to breast disease and encourages the development of programs and centers that address breast disease and promote breast health. It facilitates collaborative research opportunities on issues of breast health; and developed a set of core measures to define, improve and sustain quality standards in breast health care programs and for quality performance in all types of breast health care facilities.

Frog Baby
I forgot to say something in my last post. My second ever blog post talked about how I bought a couple of jumpers from the op shop to unravel (frog) for cheap yarn. Well, I've completed two projects made from some of that yarn. The first one was this baby jumpsuit:
I based it largely on a jumpsuit pattern from
this book
, but I added the frills and embroidery based on a couple of patterns from
this book
. It turned out a bit more clowny than I would have liked, but I'm pretty happy with it.
The other pattern, made from the same yarn, was
this awesome free one
, which I made for my cousin. The frogged yarn in question yarn was only used for the chain, as you can see:
That was all. Hope you enjoy my finished objects,
The Knitted Kitten

"We have positioned the company to evaluate any potential strategic alternatives, including a sale, in the 30 days before the financing is set to close," said Chairman James Feuille, who along with Peter Gotcher will resign from the board. "I believe the steps we are taking today offer Pandora the ability to consider all opportunities and to set a course for the future." Under the deal, the investment firm plans to buy $150 million of the company's convertible preferred stock. Pandora will have the option to increase the amount to $250 million if it chooses to issue additional shares. Richard Sarnoff, KKR's head of media and communications private equity investing in the Americas, will join the company's board of directors. "We believe that Pandora is uniquely positioned over the long term given the sheer size of its user base, the quality of its new subscription services and the fact that it has created one of the few scaled streaming media businesses in the U.S.," said Sarnoff. The news comes four months after Pandora announced plans to cut its U.S. workforce by 7% in a bid to reduce operating costs and move toward full-year profitability. https://www.pandora.com/ http://investor.pandora.com/file/Index?KeyFile=2000479435 http://investor.pandora.com/file/Index?KeyFile=2000479401 _____________________________________________ o San Francisco-Based Remix Raises $10 Million in First Round of Funding San Francisco -- Remix, the San Francisco-based developer of an online platform for public transit design, said on Tuesday it has raised $10 million in its first round of funding, led by Sequoia Capital.

The company said it will use the proceeds to accelerate product development, expand its sales and marketing activities and broaden its geographic reach. Remix's web-based platform is designed to help city planners quickly design transit routes and immediately understand the cost and demographic impact of a proposed change. More then 200 cities currently use the platform. "Public transit determines more about a person's life than almost any other factor. But there's a gap between where our public transit is and where it needs to be," said co-founder and CEO Sam Hashemi. "We believe technology has the potential to dramatically improve public transportation." Founded in 2014, Remix now has raised a total of $12 million from Sequoia, Y Combinator and SV Angel. https://www.remix.com/ http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/remix-raises-10-million-in-series-a-funding-led-by-sequoia-300454374.html _____________________________________________ o S.F.-Based Climate Corp. Acquires Agriculture Software Company HydroBio San Francisco -- The Climate Corp., a San Francisco-based unit of Monsanto that develops digital tools designed to help farmers increase their productivity, said it has acquired Denver-based agriculture software company HydroBio. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Climate Corp. said the acquisition will strengthen its efforts to deliver digital technologies to farmers. "HydroBio has unique irrigation-focused data analytics capabilities, and as global water use for crop production increases, efficient irrigation is becoming even more important to the future of sustainable agriculture," said CEO Mike Stern. "Their tools will complement our Climate FieldView digital agriculture platform offerings in the future." HydroBio uses a combination of satellite imagery, soil data and hyper-local weather data to deliver irrigation insights for farmers to help improve crop water-use efficiency and maximize yields. Monsanto Growth Ventures (MGV), the venture capital arm of Monsanto, was an early investor in HydroBio.http://www.climate.comhttp://www.hydrobioars.com https://www.climate.com/newsroom/the-climate-corporation-acquires-hydrobio-accelerates-delivery-of-data-driven-water-management-insights-for-more-farmers-across-globe/27 _____________________________________________ o San Jose-Based Datos IO Lands New Investments from Cisco and NetApp San Jose, Calif. -- Datos IO, the San Jose-based developer of application-centric data management technology, said on Tuesday it has landed new investments from Cisco Investments and NetApp. Financial terms of the deals were not disclosed.

Despite numerous published reports, however, the agency denied the website issue was the result of a call to action by comedian John Oliver, the host of HBO's "Last Week Tonight," who urged viewers to submit comments to the FCC against proposed changes to the Obama-era rules. The website problem appeared to begin around the same time Oliver's show aired Sunday night. "Beginning on Sunday night at midnight, our analysis reveals that the FCC was subject to multiple distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDos). These were deliberate attempts by external actors to bombard the FCC's comment system with a high amount of traffic to our commercial cloud host," wrote David Bray, the FCC's chief information office, in a statement. "These actors were not attempting to file comments themselves; rather they made it difficult for legitimate commenters to access and file with the FCC." Bray said the attacks overwhelmed the FCC's servers, preventing them from responding to people attempting to submit comments. https://www.fcc.gov/document/statement-fcc-cio-denial-service-attack-fcc-comment-system_____________________________________________ o Briefly Noted: (Santa Clara, Calif.)

- for those members, they always influence by "pihak atasan", they join to robocon , they have only one objective "learn and use robocon things" !! They do not have the heart want to improve the robocon result and improve for anything. They just want to take some benefit from robocon. They are not really want to sacrife their time to improve robocon.
sabahking = complain king?
sabahking= ben xiao hai ?
I always know that I learn the things very slow. I am not talented to design the robot and write programming !! But I always know my role very well. I really and really prepare to sacrife my time to help anybody and try my best to do the things. But I feel that doing this type of job in robocon will never be respected by anybody !! who do the robot and write programming only will respected by people? I still remember that when I am scout in secondary school. My leader is telling me everybody is equally important when we are organising our big camp fire in muar and everything is fair to everybody !! We really take everybody as our family of sas scout !! This is the SAS SCOUT SPIRIT that will be plant in my heart forever. I do not think there in any spirit inside the ums robocon. Maybe I am really old ...... new generation coming and have new idea.
At the end enjoy this song. I am not blaming anything and any person. I should say that maybe I am not suitable to join any society in my university again !!

Ashley Dean and Broken Pixel
I first encountered Broken Pixel animator Ashley Dean's work at Bradford Animation Festival last November, where he was showing his latest music video Lost at Sea for the band Cashier No. 9. The animation, which won Best Video at the Northern Ireland Music Awards follows the lead singer of the band aboard a small, but life-size wooden boat, setting sail around Leeds city centre and beyond. The video also features some impressive visual effects of the band performing convincingly in pixilation and disappearing into the floor with a splash, as if they too have been swept out to sea. Oh, did I mention there is a spectacled crab and a harmonica-playing fish? The idea was simple but genius. And like other great work, I wished I had thought of it first.
The narrative appealed to me greatly, half Michel Gondry and half childish imagination, but it was the aesthetics of the piece that I really loved, created through the props and the cinematography. Lost at Sea has an unpolished, handmade quality and really gives a sense of how much fun it must have been to create; something which I feel animators are sometimes scared of showing through their work.
Much of Broken Pixel's animated music videos share this same charm and imaginative quality, as Ashley takes the viewer to cardboard islands, polystyrene ice caps and inside a chalky white snow globe. It seems as though he fears nothing: be it other animation techniques (Ashley also has experience with 2D and is starting to use more computer animation) or the craziest and most ambitious ideas, that many other animators wouldn't even consider due to their complexity. It is Ashley's refusal to put a limit on his imagination that makes Broken Pixel's work so special. His ambitious ideas are achieved through what is obviously a labour of love, an abundance of talent and a true dedication to animating.
Once part of Leeds based iLiKETRAiNS, Ashley began by producing animated music videos for the band, as well as visuals to accompany them as they played. This included producing a feature length animation for the bands album Elegies to Lessons Learnt, in which he explored a different famous historical figure for each song. This quickly progressed to Ashley making videos for friends bands, gaining more recognition and opportunities from higher profile musicians. Over the years he has built up an impressive and extensive back catalogue, working with Fossil Collective, Lupen Crook and Lone Wolf. Recently, Ashley's animation La Campanella, commissioned to advertise the classical music season at Opera North, won the award for Best Animation at the Royal Television Society Awards. We caught up with him to find out a bit more about this film, why he thinks music works so well with animation and where on earth he gets his ideas from.
Check out Ashley's latest work, the new video for Beth Orton's 'Something More Beautiful' here.
You don't come from a conventional animation background, having studied Graphic Arts and Design at Leeds Metropolitan University. How did animation relate to this subject and were there many others on the course that chose to work in animation too?
Growing up I wanted to be a graphic designer and my ultimate ambition was to design record covers. It wasn't until the 2nd year of the course that I had a go at animation (although I had tried my hand on Deluxe Paint III on my Amgia 500 in the early '90s). Graphic Arts and Design at Leeds Met is a wonderfully varied course, so one day my tutor Len Grey shut me in a room and, in his broad Glaswiegian accent, told me to 'Animate a fight!'. I had loads of photos knocking around from another project so I started to push them around and really started to enjoy the process. I went back in the next day with a bit of a soundtrack and made this :
I made it on an ancient Sony Umatic animation machine alongside a fellow student called Tom de Gay who was attempting a much more ambitious animation about a malevolent hamster. When we returned on the second day his machine had broken and erased is his day's work. He never animated again. I often see this a crossroads in my life, and I'm thankful Tom took the hit, not me! (He's a very successful graphic designer now so I don't think he minds…)
You began your career as part of the band iliketrains, making their music videos and acting as a digital artist during live shows, before moving onto creating music videos for other bands. What is it about the combination of music and animation that you feel makes them work so well together?
Certain sounds and imagery create a wonderful psychological fusion. People talk about how well Dark Side of the Moon compliments The Wizard of Oz, but the same phenomenon applies to all manner of sound and imagery, try Watching Fritz Lang's Metropolis alongside Drukqs by Aphex Twin. It's this bond that I search for in a music video; the moment when the sounds feels like it's conducting the audio. A project I'm working on at the moment hits every beat in a murmuration of starlings. It wasn't planned or edited, but we've managed to fluke a thing of beauty.
Do you have a specific way of approaching a new project? Do you begin with your own ideas and apply them to the music, or do you find that the music dictates the animation?
From my earliest projects I have let music dictate what I put on the screen. I usually listen to a track 30 or 40 times on repeat, letting the sounds spark ideas and imagery in my mind. By knowing the music inside-out when I'm animating, I can get a feel for the pace, tone and rhythm, then when it comes to the edit, the footage usually just falls into place. I am slightly cursed now however and can't stop images flowing into my brain. I lived in Japan for a year and visited a Zen temple for a weekend. When we were supposed to be meditating and clearing our heads, the sounds of the trees swaying in the distance and bells lightly tinkling in the breeze conspired to form a Hanna-Barbera style cartoon in my head which wouldn't go away. Even when the monks beat me with sticks.
What are the main complications / problems working as a freelance animator?
It's very frustrating to spend half my time trying to bring in the next piece of work when I should be working on the current one. Ideally I'd join an agency, but the amount of time it would take to put together a package to catch someone's eye would mean I'd never get anything done.
Congratulations on winning the Royal Televison Award! Can you explain a little bit about the film and how it came about?
The film was commissioned by Opera North last autumn. It was a nice brief as it gave us free rein with design and an opportunity to work with a genre of music I'd not tried before. I had worked with Graham Pilling before on 'We March On' and 'Garden Grow' and was excited to bring some more of his illustrations to life. I bought the sheet music for La Campanella (the staff in the music shop were very impressed!) and we colour coded each note of the music (thanks to the dedicated work of intern Solomon Honey) and built the design around the patterns it created.
The whole awards thing was a bit of a whirlwind. My Mum helps me out by entering my films into festivals, and I had totally forgotten about the RTS awards. During the England match that evening I got a series of panicked texts from a friend at the awards who said that it would be in our best interests to get down there… Me and my wife, Lydia hopped on the train in York (after England had limped to 1-1 draw with France), called Graham and headed to the Queens hotel. The staff kindly arranged a table at the back (it felt like the kids table at a wedding) and we sat, shellshocked, as the night unfolded.
Most of the awards seemed to be for hard hitting news items on Look North or Calendar, so it was quite bizarre to hear cheers go up when a clip announced 'The man's leg was found by a dog walker…' Thankfully we didn't have to make a speech and we only got a bit of stick for being late from the host (the skinny one from the Full Monty).
Broken Pixel's back catalogue of music videos shows an impressive range of stop motion styles and techniques. What is it about stop motion, opposed to other forms of animation, that you prefer? And what materials are your favourite to work with?
To be honest, I love all forms of animation. I've been working a lot in 2D (pencil and After Effects) this summer and I'm a big fan of pixilation. I'd probably even give CGI a go if I had time to get my head around some new programs. But I suppose the thing that keeps bringing me back to turmoil of model stop-motion is the texture and tactility of the models and sets. I love to build worlds, and I find immense satisfaction in constructing sets, props and characters that you can prod and poke into life. I find that corrugated cardboard is the most compliant and abundant material available.
My most ambitious stop-motion video to date 'Let it Go' is a love letter to the possibilities of paper (and Desert Island Discs and Minecraft.)
I particularly love your video for Lone Wolf 'Keep Your Eyes on the Road' which is an impressive homage to the legendary stop motion music video Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. What inspired you to re-create such a famous animation? And what are some of your other favourite animated music videos?
Thank you! I was always fascinated by the video growing up, especially the bit when he turns into plasticine. I thought a while back that it would be a great challenge to recreate the video with another solo artist, as a homage and a showcase of all the animation techniques I had learned over the years. So I teamed up with Lone Wolf (real name Paul Marshall), and put him through a week of hell.
There were so many different processes to manage and things to make, but I had great help from my long term collaborator Kevin Roper, my Dad and the gang of friends who turned up for the group scene at the end. At one stage I managed to glue Paul's eyes closed with latex, and he almost got DVT from squatting down for one of the 4 hour takes. I felt empathy for Nick Park during the chicken dancing scene; I only had one slippery, decomposing carcass to manipulate instead of the two he had to deal with. I managed to turn that shot around in 45 minutes, the smell drove me into a spectacular (slap dash) stop-motion blur.
As for other animated music videos, I really love the work of David Wilson, he's like a British Michel Gondry. He did an incredible piece of work using a table full of praxinoscopes…
I have series of favourite lists on my YouTube channel (I like to make lists!) This is my current top 10 animated music videos…
Of your own work, what has been your favourite to animation to make so far and what are you most proud of?
I still reckon the 6 year old iLiKETRAiNS video 'The Beeching Report' is my most satisfying piece of work. The song is about Dr Richard Beeching who closed down a huge part of the British railway system in the 1960's. His report estimated that 40,700 workers would lose their jobs as a direct result of his proposal (in reality a lot more people than that were made redundant). I thought that this was such a disgustingly incomprehensibly large number of people, so I tried to illustrate it on screen. Myself and Guy and Dave from the band spent 2 months rolling 40,700 balls of plasticine on our lunch breaks at work. It was heartbreaking to think that each one of these little balls was a person or family whose lives had been wrecked.
I also built a life-sized Beeching from chicken wire and plasticine and took him and the endless trays of plasticine to Coulonges sur L'Autize in France to animate over the Christmas Holidays. I spent 5 solid days on my hands and knees shifting those blobs around, and I was satisfied by the end that I had fulfilled my brief as closely as possible.
Chicken Wire Beeching is still sat rotting on a shelf in my studio. The bastard.
What can we look forward to seeing from you in the future?
It's due to be a busy summer in the Broken Pixel studio! We're currently working on a video for a folk-electronica pioneer, best known for her work in the mid 90's, then I'll hopefully be teaming up with Graham again to do some opera work. I create a treasure hunt for Green Man festival each year and this time we've had it going all around the country (www.woodsense.net). I'll be heading over to Wales for the festival in August to run a tournament of Woodsense; an ancient Welsh board game. There's a pixilated video in the pipeline for a Leeds band called Stalking Horse and I've a couple of short film projects that might get off the ground soon…!

Harassment and Bullying
What is workplace harassment?
Harassment is generally defined as unwanted conduct. It may be based on a specific characteristic possessed by an individual, such as their age, race or sexual orientation, or it may be that the perpetrator of the harassment just does not like or get on with the individual that they are troubling.
There is no claim for 'workplace bullying' but there are things you can do to address it. The action you take and recourse you have will depend on the reason that you are being harassed.
What are some examples of workplace harassment?
What is the obligation of the employer in preventing harassment in the workplace?
Every employer has a duty of care to its employees and is therefore responsible for protecting them from harassment as far as it is possible to do so. An employer should take all reasonable steps to deal with and prevent harassment in the workplace.
What must the employer do when there is a harassment problem in the workplace?
The employer must take steps to investigate and address the problem. The employer is vicariously liable for the actions of its employees, which means it is responsible for their behaviour and can be held accountable for the behaviour and actions of its employees in court.
Upon receiving a grievance in relation to harassment, the employer must follow the grievance procedure, and must investigate the matter. Should the perpetrator of the harassment be found to have harassed another employee, appropriate disciplinary action should be taken according to the seriousness of the offence.
The employer must show that it has done everything reasonable to investigate and resolve the matter.
Even if a grievance has not been raised, if the employer becomes aware of harassment in the workplace it should still take steps to try to resolve and prevent this as a matter of good practice, and to protect itself and its employees.
What is the employer's liability if it fails to deal with a harassment problem in the workplace?
If an employer fails to deal properly with a complaint of or obvious harassment, then the employee who is being harassed may issue a claim against the employer in the employment tribunal, even if the employer is not directly responsible for the harassment.
What can happen if a supervisor does not take the employee's complaint of harassment seriously?
If a supervisor doesn't take the employee's complaint of harassment seriously, the employee will have a number of options.
Although the employee cannot bring a claim for 'bullying' as such, he or she might be able to resign and claim constructive dismissal. If the harassment relates to a 'protected characteristic' (i.e. age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation) then the employee may have a claim for discrimination.
What should an employee do if he or she is harassed by another person at work?
The employee should raise a grievance following the employer's grievance procedure. This can usually be found in the employee handbook
What if a supervisor is harassing the employee?
If a supervisor is harassing an employee then the employee still has the right to ask their employer to address this by raising a grievance. If the grievance procedure states that the employee must raise a grievance with their supervisor, this of course would not be a suitable option if the grievance is about the supervisor.
If the grievance procedure doesn't say what to do as an alternative if the grievance relates to a supervisor, then the employee should speak to someone else to ask what procedure to follow. If this is not an option, the grievance should be addressed to someone higher up than the supervisor, for example, your supervisor's supervisor.
How to report harassment?
The best way to report harassment to your employer is by way of a grievance, as set out above.
If the harassment amounts to criminal activity then you may consider it necessary to contact the police.
What can we do to help?
If you are an employee who is being harassed, you may need help and support to understand your rights. We can assist by advising on how you can ask your employer to deal with the matter, and can explain whether your employer is liable for the actions of the person who is harassing you.
Here at SSB our employment law team can also assist employers who are dealing with harassment in the workplace, regardless of what stage the matter has reached. On occasion employers can be harassed by employees. If this is happening to you and you need advice on how to deal with this employee, we can assist.

Slang is an alternative to the use of proper language and grammar. It's used by people for different reasons.
Some use it to be different and unique. Others use it as a form of rebellion against authority or established expectations and norms.
One way or the other, slang has a way of working itself into accepted mainstream language. Dictionaries add slang words as they become so commonly used that they are used in everyday conversations.
But there are a few slang words that are so completely annoying that we hope they never become completely acceptable.
10 The Cat's Pajamas
This one is throwing it back…throwing it wayyyy back! In fact, throwing it back to the 1920s.
The 1920s in America was also known as "the Roaring Twenties". It was a decade of good times and prosperity, until the Wall Street crash of late 1929.
Silly slang terms were popular at the time. One such slang term was "the cat's pajamas". Even though the term makes absolutely no sense, if someone said you were "the cat's pajamas" then they considered you the very best or excellent.
We hope you find this top 10 list to be "the cat's pajamas" too. But that doesn't mean we'd be unhappy if we never heard it said again.
9 Chillax
If you use the term "chillax", then you probably are the type of person that would actually chillax.
It is a term that lazily combines two words that mean to take it easy: chill and relax. It means to just hang out, and don't get worked up.
But if you're really so relaxed (or lazy) that you have to merge your words to communicate, chances are you are already chillaxing too much.
One of the most annoying things about this word is that if someone does tell you to "chillax", you probably won't be capable of doing so as you're so irate that they used the phrase.
There's nothing more annoying than being told to calm down when you're freaking out.
8 Ducky Shincracker
Ducky what? This is another slang throwback to yesteryear. In the 1940s, the American population was mainly focused on World War II and the struggles associated with that difficult time.
However, in order to draw the attention away from the sadness and horrors the war brought, the 1940s also became known as the "Swing Era".
It was a time when the public wanted a distraction through movies, music and dance. The slang of the time reflected that need for fun too.
During the 1940s, a "ducky shincracker" was someone who was a good dancer.
Ducky shincrackers were likely the best dance partners for 1940s popular dances like the jitterbug, swing, and lindy hop.
We hope it dances off into the sunset and never returns.
7 Fo Shizzle
Thanks, Snoop Dogg. It was Snoopzilla himself who brought the world's most irritating rap slang term "fo shizzle" into main-stream culture.
Basically, if you ask your child a simple question such as, "Would you like some mashed potatoes, honey?" and you get the answer, "Fo shizzle pops!" translate it as "Of course, I love mashed potatoes dad".
It's a form of answering in the affirmative to replace terms such as "for sure", "yes" and "I agree". However, to entirely blame Snoop for bringing this annoying slang into our homes isn't entirely fair.
People have been adding the suffix "izz" and "izzle" to words for years to add a bit more "pizzazz" and "fizzle" to our language.
6 Bae
"Bae" is a new term that drives most parents "cray" (more about that term later)! The word is rumored to have origins as a form of the word "baa"…which is obviously the sound a sheep makes.
Some have also rumored that it's a word that translates to mean "poop" in Danish. Or it could be an acronym that means "before all else".
One way or the other, for young people today "bae" is intended to be a term of affection often referring to a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Or it might refer to someone they'd like to be romantically involved with but aren't. Just like other affectionate terms, "bae" can also be used to refer to inanimate objects.
If your child says, "Hey pop…those mashed potatoes are bae", he means they are really good. For adults that use proper grammar, bae is just bad.
5 Ankle Biter
Have you ever been bitten on the ankle? Fleas, ants, mosquitos, and even animals may cause bites in the ankle area. But, have you ever been bitten on the ankle by a child?
Coined sometime around the 1950s-1960s, the slang "ankle biter" refers to a small child. It's a term probably related more to their short stature and close proximity to the ankles than an overwhelming desire to munch on an adult's feet.
However, if you're a parent or sibling you've probably seen some pretty demonic child tantrums where you thought your body (even your ankles) was in danger. Nasty little ankle-biters.
4 Up Your Nose With A Rubber Hose
One of the most bizarre slang terms involving inserting inanimate objects into an orifice, is "up your nose with a rubber hose".
This term goes back to the 1970s and the hit television show Welcome Back, Kotter. The term essentially means "I'm annoyed, leave me alone" or "screw you", and was used frequently by actor John Travolta playing the character Vinnie Barbarino.
Although the term coming from Travolta's television character completely fit, it drove many 70s parents over the edge when used as a response from one of their own teenagers.
3 Gag Me With A Spoon
In the 1980s, most teenage girls wanted to talk like a "valley girl". Actually, they like totally like wanted to like talk like a valley girl. Speaking proper English was grody to the max…I mean, gag me with a spoon!
As demonstrated in the previous sentence, "gag me with a spoon" is a slang term that expresses complete disgust.
If you were to stick a spoon down your throat, clearly the gag reflex would kick in and induce vomiting.
Therefore, anything that was seen as offensive or unwanted enough to make you gag was met with the immediate response of "gag me with a spoon".
An example, used in a familiar sentence, "I like totally don't want any like mashed potatoes, dad. Gag me with a spoon!"
2 Cray Cray
Teenagers of the 21st century are not especially creative thus far when it comes to slang terms. Their slang mainly consist of shortened words, misspellings, and acronyms.
One particularly annoying shortened slang term is "cray cray". Is it baby speak for crayon? Is it a dish using crayfish?
No, it means someone who is completely crazy crazy…but minus the "z". To be "cray" you are slightly nuts. If you are "cray cray", you are completely bonkers.
Straightjacket, certifiably, over the cuckoo's nest, crazy. However, combined with the slang term, "bae", it's a bit fun. As in "Your bae is cray". Has a poetic ring to it, no?
"YOLO" is an acronym for "You Only Live Once". For some it's a way of life, and for others it's just a way to say, "what the hell, I do what I want" or "live life to the fullest".
Mostly it's just annoying. Yes, everything that lives must someday die on this earth. But, tossing the slang phrase around as an excuse for bad behavior or risk-taking is irritating to say the least.
Tell the wrong person "YOLO" and you just might find out how true that statement is…because they are going to have the desire to kill you.
Run like hell…YOLO.

At this noteworthy period in Israel, when violent attacks are engulfing the entire country, it has been meaningful to take time out to reflect on how the country got to its current state. I had the opportunity to do this last week during the 20th anniversary of the assassination of late Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
As with any issue in Israeli society, there is no black or white way to look at Yitzhak Rabin's legacy. Many Israelis focus on what is arguably the most significant aspect of Rabin's legacy, which is his efforts to make peace with the Palestinians. One of Rabin's most iconic moments as Prime Minister was when he signed the Oslo Accords, which developed the Palestinian Authority and created much of the Israeli and Palestinian divisions of the West Bank that we know today. The Israeli left wing admires Rabin's peacemaking efforts and uses Rabin's example to this day as a way to encourage developments within Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations. The Israeli right wing, however, sees Rabin's contributions as naive and disastrous because of the large concessions he made to the Palestinians, whom they view as dangerous enemies to the State of Israel. This was the attitude taken by Yigal Amir, a right-wing religious Israeli Jew who killed Rabin as a way to halt the progress of peace talks.
Corresponding to the multiple opinions about Rabin's legacy, there are many ways Israelis contemplate the anniversary of Rabin's death, which is a national memorial day. During a learning session last Thursday, my group was able to reflect on these different perspectives by looking at examples of observances of this day in past years. We looked at songs, magazine covers, and speeches that all resembled different meanings for this commemoration. One piece that I found particularly interesting was a critical response to a speech conducted by Rabin's granddaughter about her grandfather's heroism. This article stated that instead of focusing on the man himself, the memorial day should focus on the state Israeli society was left in following Rabin's death. We had a big discussion about this in my group, with people thinking both Rabin himself and Israeli society are important topics of focus when discussing Rabin's legacy.
We also looked at advertisements and magazine covers from the different anniversaries of Rabin's assassination. I was very intrigued by these because they painted very different pictures of what Rabin's legacy means in contemporary Israeli society, some of which were quite unusual to me. One that caught my attention was from the 13th anniversary, and had a Bar Mitzvah theme with musical instruments and party decorations. I did not know what this meant, since my understanding was this memorial day is supposed to be solemn and not joyful. However, one interpretation my group came up with is that for some people, the anniversary of Rabin's assassination can actually be a celebration instead of a day of mourning. Since Rabin's death led to the collapse of the peace process, and there has arguably been no Israeli Prime Minister since Rabin that has been as supportive of a comprehensive peace deal, those who oppose a peace agreement and the Israeli concessions that would go along with it celebrate the fact that Rabin's quest for peace ended with his death. This got me thinking about another major question...if Rabin had not been shot, what state would Israeli society be in today; peace or pieces?
|A poster my group made showing the complicated nature of Rabin's legacy
This theme of peace or pieces has remained on my mind long past the session in which it was introduced to me. To me, life is filled with a bunch of "what ifs," and it is normal to ponder what could have happened if a chain of events went differently. In this case, it is hard to tell what would have happened if Rabin had not been assassinated. It is possible that Rabin would have continued the progress that he made, and today Israel would be much further along in the quest for peace. It is also possible that the critics of Rabin's politics would have increased their hateful rhetoric and violence, and Israel would be left in a relationship of distrust with the Palestinians similar or worse to what it is today.
After much thought, I have chosen to view this question through a different lens. Instead of focusing on the negative implications of Rabin's assassination, I want to focus on the positive things that have come to Israel since this event. I was able to see many of these positive components up close this past Saturday night, when I attended a memorial ceremony for Rabin at Rabin Square in Tel Aviv. This was a very inspiring ceremony for many reasons. One of the biggest things that touched me was the amount of Israelis there supporting Rabin, and supporting the idea of peace. There were 100,000 people at this rally, and they were all there to send a clear message: we are sick of the violent status quo, and we want peace. I could see the crowd holding up signs with slogans like "peace now" and "we cannot eat war forever." This was very inspiring because it allowed me to see that there are so many Israelis who are fighting for better futures for themselves, their children, and their Palestinian neighbors. Since I arrived in Israel, though I have met with many activists and people invoking social change, it has been hard to visualize anything except the status quo. With the current wave of violence here, I go through each day seeing the unfortunate situations on the ground, waiting for some positive change to happen that will improve conditions for all sides. At this rally, for the first time since I stepped off the plane at Ben Gurion about one month ago, I saw a mob of Israelis who not only agree with the message of peace, but are motivated to take action to create a society in which today's challenges can disappear and every citizen can benefit. This is a message I have been eagerly waiting for, and seeing it in such a powerful way that night was one of the most inspiring experiences I have ever had in Israel.
|Shalom chaver means goodbye friend. It is what Bill Clinton said at Rabin's funeral.
Another powerful component of the rally was learning about Rabin himself, and particularly how committed he was to both peace and Israel's security. These images came across in enlightening speeches from many world leaders, including Israeli President Reuven Rivlin and US Past President Bill Clinton. I thoroughly enjoyed President Rivlin's speech because of how blunt and honest it was in demanding equal rights and peaceful living conditions for all of Israel's citizens, regardless of religion, race, and level or religious observance. My favorite part of Rivlin's speech was when he discussed Israeli unity and said, "We all have a joint dream, a joint Israeli hope. We disagree on the path but we dream of an Israel in which righteousness lights the way." This statement conveyed that no matter how divided Israeli society is, there is still hope for us all to live together in security and understanding under the scope of peace.
|Israeli President Reuven Rivlin
Bill Clinton's speech was inspiring because it mentioned much about who Rabin was as a man, and it included many conversations that Clinton personally had with Rabin. One quote of I took particular note of was when Rabin said, "We will fight terror as if there were no negotiations, and we will negotiate as if there were no terror." To me, this quote really showed Rabin's strongest qualities as a Prime Minister, which were that he kept Israel's security interests in mind while still fighting for a peaceful and sustainable future for Israelis and Palestinians. Clinton spoke of how Rabin told him this in the midst of a wave of violent riots in Israel, which showed the strength of their relationship and of the bond between the United States and Israel. Clinton also stated that Rabin's life's work was to fight for Israel's values and avoid the crossroads of Israel deciding between being a Jewish and democratic state, and he urged the Israelis in the audience to continue Rabin's work. President Obama also participated in the ceremony to honor Rabin, leaving a video message about the importance of pursuing a viable peace for the futures of Israelis and Palestinians.
All in all, I was overjoyed to take part in this historic event for Israeli society and join the country in mourning and reflection. Even more so, I was honored to join the 100,000 Israelis and prominent leaders in the crowd who recognize that peace is not just an ideal, it is a goal that needs to be reached. Rabin made huge sacrifices and ultimately gave his life in his pursuit of a future where no Israeli needs to live in fear or contempt about their identity. In my opinion, the best way to honor Rabin's legacy is to finish what he started, which includes making tough decisions for the greater good. I hope that my work with Yahel contributes something to that greater good, and the peaceful future we all dream about is not so far off.

The Flash season 2 to have 6 Speedsters
With less than a month to go for airing of The Flash season 2, all its fan boys are already pumped up. The Flash season 1 with each and every episode kept on increasing it's fan-base. It will be a tough call to select a best episode out of the series so far. WE at Pikapost, after digging in the Flash comics and linking some theories are in a condition to state that there are possibilities that we will get to see 6 SPEEDSTERS this season! You heard it right baby!
So now why don't we take a look on 6 possible speedsters in season 2!
1. Barry Allen (The FLASH)
Duh! The Scarlet speedster a.k.a The Flash is no doubt one of the five speedsters. After watching the last few minutes of season 1 and the comic-con trailer of the flash It can be deduced that season flash will be coming up with few more tricks in his pocket.
2. JAY GARRICK (The Original Flash)
Jay Garrick is the first Flash ever. Wearing a metal hat, a long sleeved T-Shirt and Jeans is the retro version. Jay got it's reference in the season one, 23rd episode "Fast enough" when he threw his hat from the time barrier to stop Reverse Flash who was supposed to get into the barrier and leave this dimension.
Jay will come in handy as it may be predicted that he is the person who helped out our streak to over come the havoc created in the final episode of first season. Though Jay is not as fast as the flash but with his age and experience will come in handy for the flash.
6. The Reverse Flash(Eobard Thawne)
That is a possibility. There is a theory that we may see Eobard Thawne again. After all he was the one guy who is to credited in season ones success. Thomas Cavanagh portrayed the character of Dr. Wells, secretly Eobard Thawne and was loved by all. Though the actual reverse flash's face was shown twice in the season(which was played by Matt Letscher). It is yet not cleared that who will play Eobard Thawne. Though there is a possibility that both Thomas and Matt may get into this season playing roles of Dr. Wells and Eobard. Quite confusing but come on this is The Flash!
The Flash TV series is all about bringing something new to the series.
So there may be possibilities that Patty Spivot who will replace Eddie Thawne as partner of Joey West and who also is love interest of Barry Allen this season may be from the Flash family.
And It won't be wrong to guess if Eddie Thawne gets back this season but with pretty bad mind set and as another speedster.
We all are as much excited you are about The Flash season 2 which returns 6th Oct on CW. Keep watching this space for more trivia's and update about the scarlet speedster!

My novel Sensation has been out for a couple of weeks now, and in line with today's fashions, I commissioned a book trailer from my friend Seth Cadin. What I ended up with is a pretty neat little avant-garde found footage film!
Given that the book is a little avant itself, I didn't mind at all. Do check it out.

Your training program has to be fun or you won't stick with it past the "honeymoon" phase and you won't get to see results. Rather than doing what your friends do or trying to run a marathon on your first day of training (sounds obvious I know but it happens!), adjust your workout time and intensity so it fits your lifestyle, AND your current fitness level!. Most importantly though is to set a clear and measurable goal and to build your training around it! If you want to lose weight, don't train like a power-lifter, and if you want to put on muscle don't train like a tri-athlete!
Training is largely about consistency. While a highly-technical training program of heart rates, charts, graphs, and nutritional intake works for the most dedicated athletes, it is usually necessary only for the intermediate to advanced trainer. When you are starting out a consistent training program is much more important than a complicated program. Beyond that, try to enjoy your workout and listen to your body.
Avoid Overtraining:
Your body does not get stronger or fitter as you train, it improves while you rest! Allowing your body to rest is just as important training hard. You'll build fitness by training hard AND resting hard. The best way to avoid overtraining is to listen to your body. If your heart rate remains elevated after a night's rest, if your legs feel heavy, if you have a restless night's sleep, or your motivation fades, you may need more rest. For those who train year-round, it's wise to take a week off every three months. This is also the time to change up your routine.
As the saying goes; variety is the spice of life, and the same applies for your training. As your strength and fitness increases your body will adapt to your training program making it feel easier and denying you a harder challenge. To avoid hitting a plateau, change your program every 1-3 months depending on your fitness and ability. This could be something as easy on changing the route you take on your run, or switching from low rep- high weight exercises to high rep- low weight exercises.
Be Flexible:
If you miss a training session, don't worry, just train harder on the next day! It's training consistency that's important, not one workout.
Set Realistic Goals:
As we have said before don't try to run a marathon on your first day training! No matter what your fitness level is (or how competitive you are!) you have to set realistic goals otherwise you are setting yourself up for disappointment. So if you do want to run a marathon, try to run a half-marathon in 1 year and a full marathon a year after that!
Be Patient:
It takes time and consistency to build up fitness and performance, so don't over train or try to take a shortcut to your training. You will just end up injured or disappointed.
Be Consistent:
If we have not stressed the point enough, CONSISTENCY!!! Even if you're starting with very short workouts (even 5-10 minutes), it's very important to do them regularly, a few days a week. Don't just be a weekend warrior, be a weekday warrior too! Injuries are almost guaranteed if you do not train regularly.
Nutrition is Critical:
Proper nutrition is the fuel for your engine; if you are training properly you should also be eating properly and drinking plenty of water. The general rule of thumb is the fresher the better!
Use Proper Equipment:
No matter what sort of training you do, high-quality equipment is essential. Worn out running shoes can cause injury over time, a 20 year old cycling helmet will not protect you as much as a new helmet in a crash, ill fitting mouth guards tell a similar story. Whatever your passion invest in quality equipment!

Best Review - Top 5 Reasons to minimise electronic waste
lectronic waste is fast becoming a serious environmental issue that is causing pollution of the air, contamination of the land and waterways and which poses a health hazard to human beings. For these reasons many of the world's most influential countries have already implemented new laws to try and prevent the problem from growing any worse. Regulations such as the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive in Europe are aimed at encouraging not just more and better recycling but also re-use and the development of circular business models in which product designs eliminate most, if not all, waste from manufactured products at the drawing board.
Electronic waste contains dangerous compounds
Many electronic gadgets contain compounds such as nickel, barium, copper, mercury, and lead which are dangerous for the environment and for human beings. We are already seeing the effects of e-waste on the environment worldwide as landfill sites grow ever larger and the workers suffer side effects to their health from handling and dismantling e-waste. E-waste is a massive problem but it is not too late to halt it's growth.
We are wasting valuable resources
Did you know that mobile phones contains small quantities of precious metals such as silver, gold, copper and palladium and yet we often throw them away without a thought for the value in them even if they no longer work. Instead recycling companies could be extracting valuable metals for re-use in new phones.
Developing Countries are suffering
Wealthy nations are shipping their e-waste in huge cargo ships to places like China and then relinquishing any responsibility for it. But regulations are less stringent in developing nations and so the environmental impact is often greater.
We are using energy unnecessarily
Energy from limited fossil fuel resources is being expended mining for new materials to create new electronic gadgets when manufacturers could reuse compounds and components from old gadgets that are being discarded.
We could make charitable donations
Finally, there are many charities who can make use of old items that are still working to educate children in poorer countries, using our old PCs and laptops.
Do you like this top?
We should all understand the environmental impact of throwing away old electronics and do our best to re-use and recycle all electronic gadgets and electrical equipment. Our current "throw away" culture is simply unsustainable in a world with finite mineral and energy resources.

People and brands have conversations all day, every day. More often than not, these are the equivalent of a polite exchange about the weather. We're not saying there's anything wrong with small talk. It breaks the ice, helps us pass the time with strangers and fills otherwise uncomfortable silences. It's just that we shouldn't expect small talk to add much value to our lives or those around us.
And let's face it, for brands it's all about the value. In our 21st Century state of almost constant communication, the art of conversation is far from lost. There are plenty of brands making small talk. What's become fewer and further between are meaningful conversations. The exchanges that lead to close and lasting relationships as people develop a mutual understanding. This is the basic definition of communication. And for brands it means greater consideration, more loyalty and ultimately more sales.
We help brands build rapport with this simple formula to create meaningful, and more valuable, interactions with their consumers.
Relevance + Intelligence = Meaning
We find what's relevant to consumers by listening (data) then apply intelligence (planning and creative) to find the best way to communicate your message.
It may seem straightforward but it's clever really.
We all know consumers are a fickle bunch – why wouldn't they be, when faced with so much choice, so much value, so much to tempt them?
We believe the answer lies in building relationships. The type where each knows what the other is thinking, where they surprise each other every day – relationships that endure.
M&C Associates is based on a deep understanding of consumers, creating ideas that excite them and make them want to start a relationship or remind them why they liked you in the first place.
We do this by combining clever use of data, insight, strategy and creativity to deliver these ideas to your consumers across any medium.

I haven't made any cards lately but I've been browsing the internet a lot for inspiration and stumbled across recipe mini books.... and I'm in love with the idea of making one :) I recently made my first trip to Michaels (since I was 10 years old) and let's just say... it was disappointing. It's not as far as I thought, seems pretty convenient to get to but the prices for somethings was insane! I did get some deals and more paper (more paper!!!). I got a pack of DCWV Sweet paper which has glittery cupcake, yummylicious-looking sheets... so I am starting a recipe book to keep all my cake, chocolate and other goodies recipes.
Tonight I chose 12 papers and made some pockets on each (to hold the recipe cards). Here's some work in progress so far:
This project is probably going to take me a while since I want to embellish all the pages with cricut cuts.... and I really want to use the "From My Kitchen" Cricut cartridge, but I have yet to purchase it.
Oooooh, I also made a chocolate bar to embellish one of the pages:
Each 'piece' of chocolate is a 1x1 inch square, embossed with the Cuttlebug and is popped up on foam for some dimension.... it looks soooooo yummy!
Anyways, that's my update for today. I hope you look forward to reading more about my work in progress and finally seeing the masterpiece!
