There are about an ocean of card games available in the market. With each one having their own unique traits and appeal to the players, it's hard to choose which one to play during your free time.
If you're looking for a game that has both the elements of excitement and challenge, then you have stumbled on the right article. Let me introduce you to Gwent and see why it's one of the best card games on the market.
What is Gwent by the way?
Gwent is a turn-based card game between two players, with each game taking three rounds. Each player must play one card each turn from a deck of twenty-five to forty cards. The goal is to win two of three rounds by playing cards and spells to gain points called "power" on the board. A player that has the most number of points is declared the winner of the round.
Why should you play Gwent?
Below are the reasons why.
1. It is F2P-friendly
Quite frankly, card games are darn expensive, regardless if they are for trading (TCG) or collectible (CCG). Ask someone who spends a lot of his money on Hearthstone's digital cards or Yu-Gi-Oh's physical ones and you'd see the picture.
Most TCGs or CCGs often force players to get all the most expensive cards in order to even have a shot at playing competitively. It's an entirely different story with Gwent. On this game, most of the decks are viable in their budget versions so you put your faith into cheaper units.
You can pretty much do fairly well and jump into ranked as long as you have the most of the cheapest units on your collections. You've got plenty of time to learn the more complex mechanics of the game and to gather in-game currencies for future spending.
2. Creativity Gets Rewarded
With Gwent, you get rewarded for playing the game your way. Not only do you have the freedom to play any kind of deck you want but you also get a reward for doing so.
Each game lasts from two to three rounds. You get your daily rewards not for winning the whole game but for winning single rounds. That surely takes off a lot of pressure to win.
If you're the type of a busy person who does not have much time, Gwent is perfect for you. By playing for less than an hour per day, you can already obtain one card keg (Gwent's equivalent of booster packs). Two card kegs will usually take you around two hours, while three card kegs shouldn't take longer than four hours.
Gwent has undeniably one of the most F2P-friendly systems of rewards in the entire genre.
3. Consistent Game Pace
Unlike many card games, basic mechanics of Gwent largely focuses on thorough planning. The pace of the game is consistent throughout; there is no possible way to get rushed down or lose because you have drawn fewer cards than your opponents.
Same amount of resources to work with are given to each player. Since the resources is out of question, it's how you use them in a smarter way is the key to winning. You have to make smart and careful planning and you'll be heavenly rewarded
4. You Can Track Your Progress
This is the game where you can literally feel your progress. With each round that you came out as victorious, your position across many platforms also advances. As you reach the top, your journey will be filled with rewards as you pass each level or rank.
And mind you, the grind to the top is not that bad. In fact, you would only exert minimal effort until you hit the top rankings. The learning process comes natural as your collection grows steadily. You will find more incentives to get as your position increases
5. Your Decision-Making Skills is Improved
Pizza or Chinese for dinner? Subway or taxi? Night out on a Friday night or Netflix at home?
These are just some of the decisions that we have to make in our daily life. If you're struggling on making these life-changing decisions, then you probably need to try playing Gwent. If there's one thing that is common between Gwent and the famous Game of Thrones, it's about two people trying to outsmart one another from the moment they meet.
Gwent is a mind game; you have to create a plan that is simple yet complex at the same time. You have to have Plan B, or Plan C too. Flexibility is important in case your Plan A did not work out in your favor.
Just as how decision making is important, bluffing and knowing when to pass is equally important. You may perceive it as a predictable game on the surface, but it could really be erratic depending on the game plan of you and your opponent. You can work this predictability in your favor though, you can use it to throw your opponents off-balance.
6. Minimum Randomness
As with other card games, you'd find randomness in Gwent however it's not as irritating as in the other titles. In fact, its randomness is kept on a healthy level.
There are several ways for you to draw through more than 75% of your decks during the course of every, single game. So if you want to win, you must work on your card management and deck building skills. The game may have its predictability which is why complex tactics must be present at all times.
7. It is Still New
Now is the best time to get into the game and its community. Since Gwent is pretty much on its baby days, it's an excellent opportunity for content creators and players to get onboard.
Though its growth has been tremendous in the past year, there's no denying that it still has a long way to go. There are still a lot of areas to improve and you will play as a keen-eyed critic to make the game even better.

And we are back on tracks for the part 2 of our Fundamentals of composition!
In our first part (article here), we've been through:
1 - Unity & Harmony: Proximity, Similarity, Continuation, Repetition
2 - Balance: Symmetry, Asymmetry
3 - Hierarchy & Path: Visual and Intellectual journey
4 - Scales & Proportions (+ Golden Rule)
And this week we'll define the following:
5 - Dominance & Emphasis
6 - Order + Unity + Movement + Harmony = The rhythm
7 - Unity & Variety: Contrast
8 - Background & Shape: In & Out / Full & Empty
So let's get started!
5. Dominance and Emphasis
Highlight: Breaking the visual hierarchy using form to emphasise
Colour: To distinguish between elements in a series of similar forms
Size: Elements of different sizes focus viewer attention accordingly
6. Order + Unity + Movement + Harmony = The rhythm
"We can perceive the rhythm simultaneously in three different senses. First hear it, second see it and thirdly feel it in our muscles",
Paul Klee.
Rhythm plays a living link between all parts of the composition. It is at once a principle of order, diversity and unity or harmony.
The rhythm is inevitable: It makes it possible to subdivide time and space.
It works on time or landmarks perceived consciously or not according as they will be more or less emphasised. The rhythm facilitates the reading: it organises the meeting with the composition. It defines and qualifies a temporality.
The rhythmic effect can be ensured by the distribution of light and dark spots as well as by colour, formal elements, or effects of matter.
The rhythm is all the more attractive as it offers possible developments and gives a sense of infinity to the composition.
The cold is therefore a major principle.
A grid can be considered as a rhythmic frame: a frame that is chosen to mark with more or less insistence according to the final perception sought.
7. Unity and Variety: Contrast
Contrast is a principle of deviation which can go as far as contraries; it can both unite and separate. When the deviations are fully balanced and mastered, you can speak of unity and coherence as a contrasting couple. Two opposing plastic elements can offer unity by their complementarity. This is the case of couples such as black and white, red and green, the circle and the square ...
Contrasts make it possible to emphasise the identity of each actor, to reveal, to order, to amplify the visual impact, to hold the attention, to make the composition expressive.
The concept of contrast applies as much to the shape (geometry, scale), directions (horizontal, vertical, oblique), colours (hot and cold, light and dark etc.), textures (rough or smooth, matte or glossy, etc.).
8. Background and Shape: In and Out / Full and Empty
The white background often acts as an empty space from which the image emerges - this empty space being "presented for perception but not for composition" (Norman Bryson).
The background can be perceived as a concrete surface of silence, an indeterminate in which form can appear. It offers the possibility of the presence of things. Form is definitely defined only by its opposition to the bottom. This opposition between form and background is at the basis of the "Gestalt Theory".
The greater the contrast between the background and the form, the more distinctive and mutually reinforcing these elements are. In a composition, the "empty" or almost "empty" parts are as important as the solid parts where patterns abound. The white background often provides the vital space around the form; an area of rest, meditation as in a musical page, the abstract space of all possible.

Last week I convinced David to go Antique Mall shopping with me. The trip was mostly unsuccessful ending with only one purchase and an idea in the back of my head. I purchased this old window for only $5!
Monthly Archives: May 2012
Taking Care of "Organizing the House"
Messy spaces drive me bonkers. Ask my boyfriend. I like for everything I own to have a spot. Books go on certain shelves according to topic, color, size, etc. My clothes have to be hung in color and sleeve length order. My pantry is categorized by food type. The one place in the house that I allow messiness to take over? My junk drawers. So, ready to see something that embarrasses me? Don't judge me!
A Simple Fix
A couple of months ago my Dad gave me his old camera equipment. A Pentax K1000, a Kiev 88, a light meter, filters, flash, extra lenses…. The one thing that wasn't in his old camera bag? A camera strap. I didn't really think it an issue until I realized that I am an active photographer. Most of my pictures are taken of moving objects while moving. I considered making a pretty one for fun but decided that I needed something sturdy rather than pretty. So I found a plain 'ole strap on sale at Walmart last week – $4! The problem? It's too thick for the tiny holes on the camera.
So I improvised.
What's In A Name?
Well, she has a name! We made a looonnnggg list. We tried a few out. Then suddenly David said "…….." and it fits. I didn't have to think twice about it.
So meet……..
Biking the Katy Trail
We packed up the car the night before. We barely slept in anticipation. We rose at 7 and left by 7:45.
We hit our destination, Rocheport, Missouri, at 9:45 ready to go. Rocheport is one of those tiny, population 259, historic, antique towns.
Pistachio or Pachanga?
Well it's a healthy, 8 week old, girl kitten.
Biking with our Puppy
We love, love, love riding bikes. When our tiny town is vacated by 5,000 college students headed out for summer you can bike anywhere and everywhere. It's awesome. The problem? We have to leave our cute little puppy at home….
Well, David and I are planning a bike ride on the Katy Trail, a wonderful bike trail crossing Missouri, this weekend and we don't want to leave the dog at home. We're going to camp, hike, build a campfire…. It's going to be a blast that he has to be a part of. But he is definitely not learning how to run on a leash with bikes so we came up with another plan. How about building a bike trailer?! No, too expensive, time-consuming, blah, blah, blah. So we bought one!
Life Isn't Worth Living Unless You're Doing Something You Love
Recently, in my job searching I have been forced to decide what jobs I would love, excel at, tolerate, hate, etc. So I made a list with the boyfriend, inspired by the season finale of Parks & Recreation! Again, if you're not watching then you should definitely start.
We wrote down our interests, places we'd like to live, things we're already good at, and, eventually, what jobs we would like. My list is pretty varied but similar. I have a B.A. in Journalism, I like writing, reading, designing, blogging, crafting, I work well in a fast-paced environment, and I love, love, love working around people. I am willing to try anything but ultimately I would like to be happy with my career.
"Taking Care" of the House – Week 4
I am a day late with this week's installment in my "Taking Care Series." I had a crazy work week so I barely noticed when Friday finally arrived. I had a bunch of budding ideas but I simply could not choose a favorite until I read one of my favorite blogs, Dream Green DIY, to find that she had the exact same idea: rearranging!
After several rearranging mishaps in college, namely dropping a bunk bed on my roommate's head freshman year, I learned that it is important to have a plan, and strong friends, before moving things around. In college, this meant 1) measuring everything, 2) cutting out furniture shapes, 3) drawing up the plans, and 4) rearranging the paper shapes. Trust me, that takes lots of time. So a few years ago, I found this Room Planner website by Icovia that makes it super easy to come up with a design. If I could fancy up the designs this would feel exactly like Hidden Potential on HGTV.
Taking Care – Week 4 Preview
Hi everyone! This week for my take care series I have been taking care of my house. I had the day off today so I've been busy but not quite done with what I have planned. So let me tell you what to look forward to tomorrow!
Some rearranging is in order….

Have you ever worked with a nutritionist or trainer or done a diet program where you've been scolded or shamed if you didn't follow the plan exactly? Or worse, do you scold or shame yourself if you don't follow the plan exactly?
Many health/fitness practitioners who sincerely want to help you may think that acting like a drill sergeant or judgmental mother is the best way to motivate you to reach your goals. And you may think that speaking harshly to yourself, telling yourself that you are an utter failure of a person if you eat a pint of ice cream, will help you stay on course. But I find that motivation via negativity, judgment, and fear don't work in the long run.
Realize that you are human, and that it can feel very difficult at times to change old habits. When sugar, for instance, literally affects the brain in a similar way that heroin does, it helps to be forgiving when you can't resist the cookies or the chocolate. You are not alone in having trouble kicking your sugar (or carb, or fried food, or salty snacks) addiction. It takes some time and practice. I've found it's much better to focus on all the times you don't go for the sugar in situations where, in the past, you absolutely would have. Celebrate your progress, your many small victories, instead of homing in on the times you didn't make the best choice. Better choices will come the longer you stick with your new healthy habits. And remember that negativity never leads anywhere good.

Every day I make a point of trying to learn something new. Our knowledge of nutrition and health is constantly changing, shifting, and growing, and it's important for me to keep up on what's happening in my field. In addition to reading scientific journals and studies that cover nutrition, one of the ways I like to do this is to follow on Twitter some very wise people who are passionate about improving our health and well-being. Below are some of the best tweets I've come across lately, tweets that contain some excellent food for thought …
Michelle May M.D. @EatWhatYouLove Jul 12
Feeling overly hungry doesn't mean you need more food than usual; it just means you need to eat soon.
My comment on this: This is so smart. So many of us think that if we're super hungry, we need to order more food or put more food on our plate, when in fact, a normal portion will do just fine. This is an issue of timing, not quantity.
Frank Lipman MD @DrFrankLipman Jul 4
For many headache sufferers, a diet lacking in magnesium may be part of the problem. So I recommend magnesium-rich leafy greens as well as cruciferous veggies like broccoli and cauliflower.
My comment on this: I have seen this work with my clients! On several occasions more greens led to fewer or no headaches.
Frank Lipman MD @DrFrankLipman Jun 7
Crucial to develop healthy habits…..because once a habit is developed, they work effortlessly for you, partly because the brain loves habits. When actions become habitual, they are automatic.
My comment on this: Building healthier habits over an extended period is a big part of what I do. This is why I don't meet with my clients just once or twice, but 6-12 times over 3-6 months. We need that much time to overwrite our old unhealthy habits with new healthier habits.
Blue ZonesVerified account @BlueZones Apr 27
The five pillars of every longevity diet in the world are: whole grains, tubers, greens, nuts, and beans. If you're an American and eating a cup of beans a day, you're probably adding 4 years to your life expectancy.
My comment on this: Blue Zones is all about tracking what leads to a healthy and long life. Beware of fad diets that try to tell you that whole grains, root vegetables, and beans are on the "no" list. Evidence from around the world proves they should be at the top of your "yes" list.
Dalai LamaVerified account @DalaiLama May 4
Scientists warn that constant fear and anger are bad for our health, while being compassionate and warm-hearted contributes to our physical and mental well-being. Therefore, just as we observe physical hygiene to stay well, we need to cultivate a kind of emotional hygiene too.
My comment on this: This speaks for itself!
Filed under: Healthy Lifestyle, weight loss | Tags: diet, stress, weight gain, weight loss
Do you feel stuck? Do you believe that you eat well and exercise consistently, but you still aren't losing weight? The answer to this dilemma may have nothing to do with food or working out.
It's important to look at four other factors that might be getting in your way:
Lack of sleep. Numerous studies have shown that lack of sleep leads to weight gain. If you're regularly getting less than seven hours of sleep, expect to feel hungrier than you otherwise would, and know that you will likely find yourself taking in more calories than if you'd had a good night's sleep.
Stress. The fact is, stress makes us fat. And actively releasing that stress and relaxing can help us lose weight, in a way that all the steamed broccoli and skinless chicken breast in the world can't. Stress activates a biological response that makes us feel hungry (which is why so many of us stress eat). Carbs and sugar are particularly appealing when we're stressed. And stress leads to increased storage of belly fat.
Boredom. Many of us don't realize how often we eat mindlessly, when we're not even hungry. Boredom can be a big driver of this, where we end up using food as an activity, a way to fill time. Notice if you automatically hit the fridge when you can't think of anything else to do with yourself.
A pleasure deficit. Are you having enough fun? If all you do is work and attend to various obligations, and it's rare that you do anything that brings you joy, you may end up eating for pleasure. That hot fudge sundae that feels like the highlight of your week? It would be helpful to find something else that feels like a highlight of your week that doesn't involve 1,200 calories.
Filed under: Healthy Lifestyle, weight loss | Tags: Ayurveda, Dr. Mark Hyman, John Douillard, when you eat matters
When I was attending the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I heard two anecdotes, one from Dr. Mark Hyman and the other from Ayurvedic practitioner Dr. John Douillard, about how much it can matter when you eat.
Dr. Hyman explained how the last thing you want to do is eat most of your food before bed, as that food tends to get stored as fat as we sleep. He called eating like this the "sumo wrestler diet," as sumo wrestlers in Japan, when they want to put on weight, will make a point of eating right before bed.
Dr. Douillard, on the other hand, explained how he helped a very obese man lose a lot of weight by recommending that he eat only one meal a day—a Thanksgiving-sized meal—at noon. The man was stunned to find that this odd-sounding directive actually worked, and the pounds fell off. According to Ayurvedic tradition, our digestive system is functioning optimally in the middle of the day, and that is when we should be eating the bulk of our calories as a result. While I think the one-meal-a-day approach is a bit extreme for most of us, I do like the idea of a big hearty lunch.
While everyone is different, most of my clients who are looking to lose weight find it helpful to frontload their calories earlier in the day—a good solid breakfast, a big lunch, and then a more modest dinner. Many also find it helpful to stick to regular meal times, and avoid grazing all day. Some newer studies have found that it's better for our metabolism to wait about 4-6 hours between eating times, and to give ourselves a good 12 hours between dinner and breakfast. If we're constantly snacking, then our bodies don't have an opportunity to start burning our fat stores.
So don't assume that as long as you stick to a certain number of calories a day then you'll lose weight. For best results, watch the clock.
Filed under: Healthy Lifestyle, weight loss | Tags: best and worst foods, food rules
One of the reasons that strict diets don't work so well over the long haul is that we can start to feel deprived. Maybe we're okay for a few weeks or even a couple of months eating no carbs, or no this, or no that. But sooner or later we can't take it anymore, and we binge, or simply throw in the towel and say, "I'm done." And then we regain the weight.
It's human nature to rebel against constraints. When it comes to dieting, if you feel that there are stringent rules to follow and you're a failure if you slip up, this becomes very taxing, both physically and emotionally. "Why can't I just eat what I want?" you might find yourself saying.
What can often be helpful when you're looking to lose weight is to tell yourself that you're allowed to eat whatever you want. There are no strict rules, and therefore there is no way for you to "cheat" or "mess up."
But you are going to want to think carefully about what foods you choose to eat. If you choose to eat lots of cake and chips every day, then you will gain weight. You know this. So is that really what you want to choose to eat today, given your goal to lose weight? Each time that you choose to have chips for a snack instead of fruit or nuts, each time you have cookies or ice cream or fries, you need to realize that this choice will directly lead to a high likelihood that you will not lose weight this week. So which is more important to you—the five-minute joy of the cookie, or your desire to be lighter?
And it doesn't have to be all about will power. I understand that in the moment when faced with the choice of whether or not to eat the chocolate in your pantry, you may feel like a junkie trying to just say no to a fix. Remember that eating healthier foods on a regular basis will lead to a physical calming of those strong desires to eat junk.
So stop telling yourself, "I can't eat this," or "I shouldn't." Instead, ask yourself if you truly want to be eating this, if this helps further your goals. This small change in the way you talk to yourself can make such a difference.
Filed under: Healthy Lifestyle, weight loss | Tags: appetite, compulsive eating, why am I hungry all the time
When new clients first begin their programs with me, they will often express the concern that it's hard for them to lose weight because they just feel hungry all the time. They find themselves grazing all day, perhaps, or feel "out of control." Maybe they even get up in the middle of the night to eat, so hungry that they can't go back to sleep unless they have a bowl of cereal or some leftover pasta.
Why does this happen?
In my experience, there are four main reasons why you may feel like you're never satisfied:
You're consuming too much sugar and/or refined carbs. Foods with added sugar as well as refined white carbs like white bread and white pasta are appetite stimulants. Choose whole grain foods instead, and keep sugary treats to a minimum.
You're not eating enough protein and/or fat. Vegetables and fruits are a super important part of a healthy diet, but they're not terribly filling on their own. Protein and fat will keep you fuller longer, and curb that feeling that you just want to keep eating.
You need a more substantial breakfast and lunch. When we're trying to lose weight, many of us make the mistake of skimping on breakfast and lunch, thinking that the fewer calories we consume, the better. But what tends to happen then is come late afternoon, we become ravenous. We snack too much, then we have a huge dinner, and then maybe we keep eating after dinner in front of the TV too. In the end, we take in more calories overall than we would have if we had a nice hearty breakfast and lunch. It's better to frontload your calories earlier in the day—going to bed on a very full stomach leads to fat storage.
You're not actually hungry. It's important to learn to distinguish between true hunger and what can simply be a desire to eat. Is your stomach rumbling with hunger pangs? Or do you just really want a bag of potato chips because you love chips so much and they sound really good right now? And if you're not sure if you're truly hungry … then you're not hungry.

The uplifting and inspiring stories are everywhere:
- The woman who created a wellness clinic for under-served populations in her neighborhood
- The man who lost 200 pounds after being housebound for a decade
- The mother who worked tirelessly bringing her sick child to radiant health
- The grandfather who quit cigarettes to realize his dream of running a marathon
Every day, people just like you go out into the world and make their dreams come true.
They did it. Why not you? You're no different than any of these successful individuals.
True, it sounds hard. In fact, it probably is hard, with a number of obstacles to overcome. That may be reason enough to put your dream on permanent hold.
"Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them… they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight."
- Orison Swett Marden, writer
Could a Plan Help?
The easiest way to turn a dream or goal into reality is one step at a time:
- Choose one thing to get done. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
- Identify what scares you most. Ask yourself: What's the worst thing that could happen if I face this fear? Write down the worst-case scenario and how you would confront it.
- Identify a small (non-food) reward for yourself once you've accomplished that activity.
- Then just do it. Complete and check that task off your list.
- Now treat yourself to the reward, rejoice, and celebrate!
- Repeat the above steps as many times as necessary and watch yourself get happier and healthier by pursuing what you desire.

|We couldn't believe how "cheap" the drinks are at Watergat. The total cost for a beer for Tom and glass of white wine for me ZAR 38, (US $3.21).
|On the way to the petrol station...
Watergat is a pub/casual dining establishment known more for its social gatherings and pub atmosphere than as a popular dining establishment. The food is good, not great. With few restaurants directly in Marloth Park, those diners hankering for a convenient dinner out often go to Jabula as their first choice due to a fun atmosphere and great food.
|Tom was intently listening to the conversation at our table.
Another restaurant we've yet to try during this stay in the park is Marloth Park Amazing River View located directly on the Crocodile River which we'd tried four years ago and found the food acceptable, the location, exquisite.
|Sandra, and husband Paul, who live two doors from us, is a Marloth Park Honorary Ranger and now have become friends after we met at snake school.
On Wednesday evening, we hopped into the little blue car and headed to Watergat to see what the fuss was all about. We'd touched base with Sandra and Paul who'd planned to meet us there and share a table. Since they know so many people in the park, it would be a good opportunity for us to meet more locals.
|The pool playing competition occurs every Wednesday at 5:30. Many locals come to socialize while some diehard pool players join the competition. We're aren't good enough players to participate, but it was fun to be there and mingle.
We ran into several people we'd already met at other functions and the conversations flowed easily. Not only are Sandra and Paul a lovely couple, full of enthusiasm and energy but they're quick and eager to introduce us to other people.
It didn't take long for us to settle in, order drinks, mingle and also make a definitive decision not to participate in the pool tournament. We were fine playing pool on a cruise ship giggling and laughing over our blunders, but neither of us has any interest in making fools of ourselves playing against these serious players, many who've played weekly for years.
|We saw several people there we'd already met. In this short period of time, we've begun to feel like we belong.
We have a pool table here in the house and have yet to use it. Someday we will but for now, being outdoors is more appealing to us than hanging around indoors at the pool table, especially in this hot weather.
|Sandra and Paul ordered pizza.
With Easter weekend upon us, the park is filled with tourists. There are more people everywhere so we've decided to stay put over the weekend except for the Marloth Park Easter Fair which we'll attend tomorrow at the tiny Marlothi shopping center.
|Tom ordered chicken schnitzel with chips (fries in this part of the world). I forgot to take a photo of my chicken salad. The food was good, not great but we had lots of fun.
There will be plenty of entertainment at this annual event and photos ops we'll especially enjoy sharing on Easter Sunday. So please check back then.
We'll be back tomorrow with some exciting new photos from last night's adventures in the bush. May all of our family, friends, and readers have a glorious weekend.
Photo from one year ago today, March 30, 2017:
|While on the Manly Ferry, we were finally able to take a sunny morning photo of Sydney Harbour, a cruise ship, another ferry and Harbour Bay Bridge. For more photos, please click here.

Feather flags are a type of marketing tool. The sign or logo is printed on a small banner. It is then attached to a small wire frame. They can be standalone materials, with custom stands that can remain erect in solid ground. They can also be planted in soil for outdoor use.
What makes it different?
There are a variety of other flag types in the market, but this unique variety is popular because of its eye-catching design and durability. True to its name, it's shaped much like a quill. The curved side of the flag helps pull the banner taut. One end is open to allow the banner to flap in the wind. This adds to the overall aesthetic value of the item.
The banner's design can be printed on both sides. This gives it more visible to passers-by. The frame is usually made from a thin, lightweight metal. This makes it very easy to carry around. This type of flag is best used for short, direct messages. Because space is limited, the text usually has to be read from top to bottom. This poses problems for longer copies.
Where can I use Feather Flags?
This type of flag serves as a supplementary marketing material. It works best when used with other, more detailed banners. Because space is limited, it serves to initially catch the attention of passers-by. When this happens, the person can look to other signs for more details.
They are commonly used by real estate agents to increase the visibility of a listing. Homes that are up for sale will usually have this type of flag outside. This alerts people that the property is for sale. It can also be used to entice people to come to an open house. Common copies include:
- Auction
- Open house
- Inspect now
- Sale/For sale
- Welcome
This type of advertising material come in a variety of sizes. Bigger ones will have more room for text. It's not uncommon to see more information on larger varieties. Some will even include their contact details on the banner.

The EDBAG HoTT campaign starts this week and I needed a camp for my Star War imperial army. After some dithering, I eventually decided on some glowing gems in a pit by some ruins guarded by stormtroopers. Basically a variation on the pirate loot theme I've done before.
I tried to mimic the effect of glowing gems with some washes. The effect looks better in person than in this picture. After some thought, I may use some future floor wax to turn the pit into a pool with them gems in it. Ruins are old GW Lord of the Rings pieces from the MayDay auction. Stormtroopers are 25mm WEG fellows. I will darken the blaster the guy on the left is holding.
Up next: A saxon warband is done thanks to a donation of bases from Terry for my mounted guys. I also have three trees done and a couple of houses almost finished for Songs of Arthur and Merlin. A copy of Dux Bellorum just arrived as well and, of course, the HoTT campaign kicks off Tuesday. With the canning season starting to taper off and garden slowing down, I hope to paint more. I also have a huge commission of 15mm cavalry to do.

Sedona's Rustic Elegance
The Story of Gateway Cottage Wellness Center
The story begins with Sedona's early pioneers, the Jordan families. They were well known for their community involvement and for growing fruits & vegetables that were sold to markets in Phoenix, Flagstaff, Jerome, Clarkdale, Prescott, and even nation-wide. The Walter and Ruth Jordan homestead, just north of uptown Sedona, is now the site of the Sedona Heritage Museum.
George (Walter's brother) and Helen Jordan had their orchards, fruit processing barn, and sales building on the edge of uptown Sedona, just before Oak Creek Canyon. When they retired in 1958, they sold their orchards, fruit processing barn, and retail sales building. A portion of their orchards became the now defunct Hawkeye RV park. Their former fruit-processing barn is now the location of the Art Barn at the Sedona Art Center. And their Jordan Sales Building, Sedona Local Landmark #5, built with Sedona Red Rock circa 1938, has had many owners over the years.
In 2014, this former Jordan Sales Building was purchased by the founders of Gateway Cottage Wellness Center, Gregg & Ali Ponder of Sedona. Their intention is to preserve this important part of Sedona's rich history and to offer to the community many of the therapy services that have benefited Ali in her on-going recovery from a near-fatal car collision in 1994.
After nearly 2 years in renovations, Gateway Cottage Wellness Center opened in February 2016. The exterior is historically preserved while the interior is a combination of Jordan-era ambiance and modern upgrades.
Every visitor's wellness journey begins the moment they enter the Wellness Center. Many comment on the beauty of the interior and how good it feels. These "good vibes" are due to a combination of the mineral and crystal energy, low EMF, 10 air-purifiers operating in the Center, and by the loving commitment and high intentions of the founders and all who work there.
The upstairs of Gateway Cottage Wellness Center provides front-desk services and a charming retail area. The copper-faced reception counter is highlighted by a custom-made 15-foot topper of Alligator Juniper that was rescued from the 2006 Brins Mesa Fire near Sedona. The custom circular & multi-tiered shelving units are hand-made with Alligator Juniper from Mingus Mountain near Jerome. A refurbished bread rack, now display shelving, is from the mining days of Clarkdale & Jerome. The antique jewelry case is unique with an unusual curved-glass side at one end. The new wood flooring was selected to look as if George & Helen walked on it themselves. Even the upstairs restroom has the original red rock wall that was restored by a local artist.
The downstairs, which was previously the Jordan's refrigerated fruit-storage area, has been converted into a waiting area and 5 therapy rooms with original art, and a fully handicap-accessible restroom. The two floors are connected via new stairs with a custom railing or by elevator.
Outside Gateway Cottage's back door is the upper terrace. Strolling down the paved ramp, brings one to the meditation terrace complete with a calming water-feature created with a century-old local grinding stone. The lovely landscaping includes ornamental pear trees in honor of the Jordan's orchards. The parking lot is surrounded by a combination of a privacy wall and a hand-fabricated steel fence & gate crafted to appear to be from a by-gone era. The intention from day one of renovations was that everything about the Wellness Center would exude the quality of rustic elegance.
We encourage you to visit Gateway Cottage Wellness Center in person at 470 N. Hwy 89A in uptown Sedona. Our speciality at Gateway Cottage Wellness Center is creating transformative, life-changing experiences.

Today's look-of-the-day is an eclectic collection of natural fabrics and materials in earthy tones. The inspiration behind it was the newly acquired Eskadar necklace made out of Paxiuba seeds. Its simplicity and primitiveness give it an exotic, unaffected feel and I wanted to play on that. In effect, this quality established a thematic base for the look as a whole. I chose the silk Paul Hardy dress for its earthy shade of green and the loose draping silhouette. I love how its colour slightly changes into shades of purple when the light hits it – the same shade of purple as the Paxiuba seeds of the necklace. In the interest of adding more volume to the Paxiuba necklace, I layered it on top of my old Jarina necklace. I wanted the deep purple in the seeds to pop and for the necklace to be the focal point.
This look was about pacing myself and taking a deep breath.
What I'm wearing:
- Paxiuba Uva short necklace by "Eskandar"
- Shaped Jarina Short Necklace by "Eskandar"
- Silk dress by "Paul Hardy"
- Shoes by "Guillaume Hinfray"
- Flap clutch by "Cole Haan"

Family, friends, teammates remember Swansea woman killed in October crash
Samantha Miller Memorial Service
Family, friends and roller derby teammates gathered at Valhalla cemetery in Belleville Wednesday evening to remember a Swansea mother of three killed in a crash along I-55 in Madison County on Oct. 22.
The group that gathered at Samantha Miller's grave laughed under a nearly-full moon as a strong breeze kept blowing out candles they were trying to light. They blamed her spirit for the wind.
"I gathered everyone here tonight to wish Sam a merry Christmas and to let her know that we all care and love her," Zoe Monroe, 26, Miller's younger sister, said.
I can remember more things about my sister now than ever because I want her back and it is killing me that she's gone. My sister was taken from her three beautiful children, four siblings, a mother and father, aunts, uncles, grandparents, nieces, nephews and all of her friends. She was too special to lose
Zoe Monroe, sister of Samantha Miller
Monroe wept as she spoke about her childhood. "Those days will always be remembered. I can remember more things about my sister now than ever because I want her back and it is killing me that she's gone," she said. "My sister was taken from her three beautiful children, four siblings, a mother and father, aunts, uncles, grandparents, nieces, nephews and all of her friends. She was too special to lose."
Miller worked two jobs and raised her three children on her own. Dubbed "a roller derby queen" by Monroe, Miller was a member of the Confluence Crush roller derby team and went by the name "Slam Van Diesel." Family members said Miller's teammates quickly became her second family.
"I want to thank all the derby people for all the support they had and the love they showed my daughter," said Barry Monroe, Miller's father. "You see how much Sam was loved."
Sandi Monroe, Miller's cousin, said she feels Miller every time she laces up her skates.
That's what she loved to do, and she was my cousin, my ride-or-die, my best friend. I made a promise to her and I have to keep it
Sandi Monroe, cousin of Samantha Miller
That's because she's the newest member of the Crush, having joined shortly after her cousin died.
"I just started because of her," Sandi Monroe said. "She wanted me to join and I didn't. And after this happened I made a promise to her that I was going to join. So I kept my promise up and now I'm a derby girl with 'em."
"That's what she loved to do, and she was my cousin, my ride-or-die, my best friend," Sandi Monroe added. "I made a promise to her and I have to keep it. She was well-loved, well-liked. She bent over backwards for anybody. Did what she could."
According to police reports, Miller, 27, a U.S. Air Force veteran and graduate of Belleville East High School, was outside her Mitsubishi hatchback along I-55 around 8 p.m. Oct. 22. It had broken down and she was checking on the problem. Her three children were in the car. That's when she was struck by a Chevy Silverado driven by Steven Willis.
Willis, 38, of Maryville, allegedly was drunk at the time of the crash and was charged a day later with a count of aggravated driving under the influence and a count of aggravated DUI that caused a death. Madison County State's Attorney Tom Gibbons called the crash a "horrible, tragic event. Three children are now without a mother due to (Willis') terrible decision to get behind the wheel while intoxicated."
Willis was held on $200,000 bond but posted $20,000 bail and was released.
The News-Democrat later learned Willis had 40 traffic citations since 1994, including at least 25 citations for speeding. He received court supervision in nearly all of his cases, meaning his dozens of citations do not appear on his driving record.
Willis is due in court on the aggravated DUI charges on Feb. 16. Miller's family said Wednesday they plan to attend that hearing and each one that follows.
In the mean time, Zoe Monroe said the family is taking their loss "day by day."
"Try to think about the positive things in life. I've got the right people by my side, family support," she said.

So over here we've all been sick. First I puked (ALL OVER THE CARPET).
Then Maya had a bought of about 7 pukes overnight in her bed, and during the next day, and then Naomi threw up once. Needless to say, this house smells like ralph, no matter how much carpet cleaner I use and no matter how many baths we give the kids and no matter how many holiday-scented candles I burn.
And there is no end to the laundry I've been doing. We have a LOT of blankets in this house, and we are totally out. They're all in the wash.
I'm not sure if it's norovirus or what. ( I hear 'tis the season for it.) But we've been very unhappy. For the last two days Maya has eaten two Saltines and three spoonfuls of chicken & stars. Can't even keep water down. Luckily today she bounding around like nothing happened, although her appetite isn't quite back. Me, I'll still feel really nauseated. Want to barf ALL the time.
Let's the hub doesn't catch this things, because it's been miserable.
But for once, I have been able to comfort my babies with hugs and kisses, instead of feeling like they are poison.. I am able to love them, and kiss them, and hug them, and snuggle them, and hole their hair back, and wash out barf buckets. You know, like normal moms. I think my new anti-anxiety med, Vistaril, continues to work, even though it makes me sore sleepy.

Bathing With Your Beloved. Usually Disgusting, but Consider This.
Speaking of communal bathing......
"I love you, baby." - "I love you right back." "And your toe won't even accidentally enter my bits."
Sexy, segregated, sanitary. No soaking in each other's bumbum germs. Perfection. Will be installing one of these the moment we win the lottery.

North Campus Exterior Stair & Walkway Study & Final Design
Lock Haven University, Lock Haven, PA
Stahl Sheaffer Engineering worked with the architect to complete a feasibility study for the repair/replacement of selected existing exterior concrete stairs on the Lock Haven University North Campus. The study was conducted to inspect the condition of the stairs and connecting walkways and identify possible repair and/or replacement options.
The stair and walkway systems that were part of this study included the following:
Stahl Sheaffer performed visual condition inspections for each stair and walkway system to determine the extent of concrete deterioration, settlement, undermining, and railing anchor deterioration. During the inspections, the location and condition of existing exterior lighting fixtures and existing "cut through" paths were also identified. Based upon the observed conditions of the stair and walkway facilities at the Lock Haven Campus, three possible recommendations were formulated to address the deficiencies. Stahl Sheaffer also completed design and provided inspection during construction.

Data + Communications = VigorIPPBX
1. Convergence of Networking and Telephony
Like cars and trains in transportation, networking and telephony in communication are two very distinctive fields, in that each of them has its own set of standards, protocols, and products that evolve through the developmental generations.
It is only recently, with the advancement of IP and digital technology, that the analogue based PSTN has given way to VoIP. Similarly, the IP based PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is taking over traditional PABX (Private Analogue Branch Exchange) business telephone systems.
Up until now, implementing a PBX system to manage the telephony requirements for businesses can be a nightmare, especially without the right equipment. The true legacy of the legacy PBX system is one of wiring complications with analogue lines, messy extension configurations, and difficulties supporting VoIP arrangements. In addition, there are a multitude of devices, products to be connected and configured to work together. Last but not the least, staff need to be trained to make calls based on the hardware systems, but not the way they are accustomed to.
In response to these developments, DrayTek has produced VigorIPPBX 2820, which combines comprehensive IPPBX functions with the award-winning Dual WAN Security router, Vigor2820 series routers.
The perfect marriage of a flexible and easy to manage/use IPPBX with a reliable Dual WAN, the full featured DrayTek router means:
- Improved capacity to deliver better services.
- Flexible and cost effective investment on communication infrastructure.
- Secure and reliable data and telephony networks to ensure zero interruption to business activities.
2. The key PBX features of VigorIPPBX 2820
- It allows you to take control of your telephony system with ease, allowing full flexibility in designing a reliable and effective telephone system, with hardware configuration and operational rules that fit your company or organization.
- It reduces telephony call charges and support expenses. Through SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) the inbound and outbound calls between the internal and external callers can be routed over the SIP network, bypassing the costly and cluttered connections of PSTN.
- It reduces the expenses associated with the convergence of voice and data systems. The costs to connect the data networks and the telephony separately are spared.
- It can host up to 50 extensions, allowing all registered IP phones in the LAN or remote sites around the world to have unlimited free calls through Internet, thus improving the internal communications.
- It supports IP phones, Softphones (for PC/NB/Smartphones), ATA devices (optional, e.g. VigorATA24), and analogue telephones (including DECT phones), making the connectivity of the PBX network simple and flexible.
- It supports full PBX functions, such as Auto Attendance, Call Forward/Parking/Barring, Digit Map, Hunt Group, Voice Mail to Emails, and so on.
- It has a browser-based configuration menu, and user-friendly interfaces with enhanced accessibility to features. It also has the ability to upgrade current firmware locally and remotely.
- It supports Caller Detail Records. This can list caller records for operation review purposes such as relationship-building with customers.
3. The key router features of VigorIPPBX 2820
Dual WAN / Bandwidth Management
In addition to the primary ADSL interface, the VigorIPPBX 2820 has a second WAN port to connect a second xDSL modem or any other Ethernet-based Internet feed, including xDSL, Cable, or Satellite, and a USB port to connect a 3G Mobile Broadband for as backup Internet access.
With dual WAN, not only that you will have consistently high voice quality over the phone with stable connectivity, you won't ever have to worry about any downtime from your ITSP's system affecting your operations.
To make good use of the Dual WAN capacity, you will have the freedom to setup the WANs to work in any of Failover, Load Balance or Load Sharing modes. The Failover mode means that in the event of an unexpected disturbance to the network, continuity of business and disaster recovery is guaranteed. You also have the freedom to share the broadband capacities provided by the dual WANs.
The QoS feature means that the voice data packets will take the first priorities to ensure call quality at all times.
VigorIPPBX 2820's flexible object-based firewall secures your network with DoS/DDoS prevention and URL/Web content filters, protecting your network from exterior threats whilst maintaining control from within.
The SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall allows inspection of data packets in the deeper fields to ensure no undue bugs are passed in or out of the network.
You can customize object policies with utmost flexibility, and reuse or recombine them as required.
Furthermore, the all powerful CSM of (Content Security Management) of VigorIPPBX 2820 allows network administrators to set up policies for users with extreme ease. These cover IM (e.g. MSN), Web applications, P2P (e.g. BitTorrent), URL filter, and so on. There is also a Web Content Filter, powered by Commtouch, which allows the blocking/passing of undesirable web pages by simply ticking or un-ticking the categories (e.g. Child Protection, Gambling) you wish to prohibit.
Virtual Private Network
VPN has been the leading feature in the success of DrayTek routers since the early days. Now, with the hardware-based VPN platform and hardware encryption systems AES/DES/3DS, VigorIPPBX 2820 supports all major protocols (such as IPSec/PPTP/L2TP) for up to 32 VPN tunnels. Additional features include:
- DHCP over IPSec
- Dead Peer Detection (DPD)
- Mobile One-Time Password
- NAT-Traversal (NAT-T)
Wireless LAN (for VigorIPPBX 2820n only)
DrayTek's Wireless LAN features cover all the key aspects of IEEE 802.11n standards in terms of Security/Access Control, plus extra functions:
- Wireless LAN Isolation
- Wireless SSID Isolation
- Wireless Rate Control
- WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
- WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
- WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia)
- Access Point Discovery
- Wireless Station List
With the Wireless LAN capability, you can extend all the router and IPPBX features to users in your vicinity. For example, you can share your omni-present 3G mobile broadband network with others' devices in the premises instantly.
USB Port
VigorIPPBX 2820 is equipped with a USB port that supports 3G Mobile Broadband, FTP protocol and Printer Servers.
For example, a hard drive flash-based USB storage device connected to VigorIPPBX 2820 acts as a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server, and users can access its contents with any FTP client from LAN or WAN. This means you can download files, e.g. retrieve presentation files, when you are out and about, around the clock.

Two more people have died after a driver plowed into a crowded public square in the mainland, bringing the death toll to 11, said officials from Hengdong city, Hunan.
The incident on Wednesday night injured another 44 people.
Police have taken the driver - a man in his 40s surnamed Yang - into custody, describing him as a "vengeful repeat offender."
Police added: "He drove the car by himself into the crowd at Yujiang Square and had with him shovels and daggers to attack the crowd, intending to cause serious damage."
Yang's previous offenses included drug charges, theft and intentionally causing hurt, police said.
Videos of the incident circulated briefly on social media, but were quickly removed.
Violent crime has risen in China in recent decades as the economic boom has widened the gap between rich and poor. Police have also previously blamed such attacks on militant separatists.
In 2013, two tourists were killed when a car rammed into bystanders in Tiananmen Square before bursting into flames.
Three attackers also died in the incident, which Beijing blamed on separatists from the restive Xinjiang region.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
John Kerry speaks at a February 2004 town hall event. [Source: Jim Bourg / Reuters]At a town hall event in Florida, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry reportedly says, "I've met foreign leaders who can't go out and say it all publicly, but boy, they look at you and say, you gotta win this, you gotta beat this guy [President Bush], we need a new policy, things like that." White House officials and conservative pundits immediately attack Kerry for his remarks, with Secretary of State Colin Powell telling a Fox News audience: "I don't know what foreign leaders Senator Kerry is talking about. It's an easy charge, an easy assertion to make, but if he feels that's [an] important assertion to make, he ought to list names. If he can't list names, then perhaps he ought to find something else to talk about." The White House issues a statement saying: "If Senator Kerry is going to say he has support from foreign leaders, he needs to be straightforward with the American people and state who they are.… Or the only conclusion one can draw is he's making it up to attack the president." Bush himself says, "If you're going to make an accusation in the course of a presidential campaign, you ought to back it up with facts." Over a week after Kerry's remarks are published, the pool reporter who reported the original remark, Patrick Healey of the Boston Globe, reports that Kerry did not say "foreign leaders," but "more leaders" (see March 15, 2004). The correction does little to blunt the criticism of Kerry, who does not directly challenge the assertion, but calls his choice of words "inartful." In 2008, authors Kathleen Hall Jamieson and Joseph N. Cappella will note: "Had this journalistic blunder created a firestorm of controversy around a Republican Party nominee, the conservative opinion leaders would have minimized the damage to their candidate by crying 'media bias.' The Democrats didn't have a comparable argument in their arsenal." [Boston Globe, 3/15/2004; Associated Press, 3/15/2004; Fox News, 3/16/2004; Jamieson and Cappella, 2008, pp. 4-5]

Boston Globe reporter Patrick Healey corrects his earlier report that Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry claimed "foreign leaders" were privately backing his candidacy (see March 8, 2004 and After). Healey, after reviewing the audiotape of Kerry's remarks, now reports that Kerry did not say "foreign leaders" but said "more leaders," likely referring to members of Congress. Healey's correction does little to quell the heavy criticism from the White House and conservative media pundits, who are excoriating Kerry for claiming the support of foreign heads of state without naming them.

Following nearly two years of reflection, input from more than 700 stakeholders, and many hours of envisioning the future, the SPSP Board of Directors has announced its new mission, vision, and strategic plan. The new statement of Mission, Vision, Goals and Objectives reflects not only where SPSP is today, but it provides a guidance for key priorities for the next five years. "As an organization, SPSP has a rich history of strong support for the field," said SPSP President Diane Mackie. "Going through the strategic planning process allowed us to capitalize on that while identifying key values and directions for the future."

What if you could isolate the independent variables in your research, keep costs down, and reach wider populations of research participants? What if your research situations were limited only by what you could dream up, regardless of practicality – how would that influence your research? With virtual reality, that's all possible.

text: White Star Antiques Alex Correia is a current co-owner of White Star Antiques in Providence, RI. We wanted to learn more about the start of their business and how they curate the pieces in their shop to create the much-appealing White Star aesthetic. The following comes from the conversation we had with Alex.PART ONE: THE BEGINNING OF A BUSINESS Me, Melanie (my wife), Josh and his wife Karen have the shop together now. There's a chemistry, you know? But it didn't start that way… I used to play music full-time. I toured all over in a band and it was really fun and I got to see a lot of crazy things. I would buy vintage clothing in the middle of nowhere, like in Nebraska or somewhere. I'd go into a shop and see a cool vintage Levi's jacket and then I'd bring it back and I'd either sell it to my friends or I'd consign it at a store called Rick Walkers in Boston on Newbury Street. I'd be strapped for cash because when you're a touring musician you don't really make a ton starting out. So I did that and then I moved to Providence, Rhode Island because it was really affordable. Josh and Karen were living on the east side and they had a beautiful home and they were collectors. They would have decorators come into their house and buy items; so they would basically set their house up to sell privately to interior decorators and other collectors. It's like a way to keep your collection going. You have to sell a couple things to get another couple things. It's called "leveling out." When I met Mel, she was an antique appraiser and she worked at an antique store loosely managing it. I went in asked her out and she told me no. I was with all my friends from Boston so then she laughed and said okay. I was building motorcycles in Pawtucket as a hobby with friends in a communal space. But then I found a camper on craigslist for $300, like a 1950's style airstream. So we bought it. I sold my Harley that I had built and Mel sold her '77 Volvo. Then we put all that money into rebuilding this camper. It took me 5 months to rebuild it. It had solar panels, the whole nine. Then we bought a van, we bought a bunch of vintage stuff, we took the stuff we already had, and we left and drove for 6 months across the country. We just lived in the camper and sold at antique stores on the weekends. All week we would buy stuff and then we'd sell stuff in a city, make money for gas, drive to another place, buy along the way, hang out, sell, make money. We did that for 6 months and drove like 16,000 miles. I joke and say we started our business with $300, because that was our initial investment — the camper for 300 bucks. Mel and I knew Josh and Karen just from being in Providence and they became good friends of ours. When we got back they said "man, should we open a shop?" and we were like "yeah."We looked at spaces for maybe 8 or 9 months and we found this space we're in now. When it came time to name the store, Mel and I said, "why don't we name the store White Star?". That was the name of the camper. It was the White Star model and it had a little star emblem on the back. So we moved our stuff into the shop and it was like a new chapter, a new phase, and now it's become much bigger than just Mel and I. PART TWO: DESIGNSo it started. And we wanted to see what the reaction was — because interests change, decor changes, fashion changes. So we try different things. Modern is popular. People like Danish furniture and they like the minimalist look. We started to see that people wanted really nice stuff and over the past two years, the nicest items would always leave first. I think we realized that there's a high demand for quality items that are timeless, well-built, have a lot of character, and that are just good. People don't want to go into an antique store and just buy that run-of-the-mill couch. They want a cool item that is going to hold its value and is desirable. So that's what has kind of been fueling the business. Good is good and I think you should just stick by that. It's like this living breathing thing — like how a person's clothing style changes. The shop has done that and the underlying idea is that good design will pair well with other pieces equal to it. If it's a good example of design from a period that we like, we put it in here. You'll see a table from the 1920's next to a table from the 1850's with some chairs from the 1920's with a couch from the 1950's with a coffee table from the 1970's.Context is important and that's something that we talk about. When you're building projects or designing , it has to flow, and negative space is important too. You can't just jam a bunch of information on a page the same way you can't just jam a bunch of chairs together. They have to breathe and you have to be able to see the angles and the lines. Space is important because, although someone would sit at a drafting table tilted, we would drop it down and use it as a dining table and put chairs next to it so people can visualize that. But you can't clutter it with chairs because then you don't see the best parts of the table and the characteristics. We want you to be able to understand that. It's about vignetting. It's merchandising. It's what I think a lot of other shops lack… PART THREE: GOOD CHEMISTRYAnybody who's creative might run into this issue where you can't teach someone how to be creative. You can give someone the technical tools they need to learn — like you can show someone how to mix paint, how to change the fluidity of paint, how to apply it, what brush to use to get certain lines — but you can't teach them to paint like Monet. You can't teach someone to have a creative eye. The curating is based on our tastes. I could have someone shadow us and hopefully they pick up on the styles we like, but it's difficult. We've talked about potentially hiring somebody but it always comes back to being able to trust that they're going to understand or be interested or know why something is good. Because art is subjective. I might think this is a great painting and they might not. They might think it's ugly. Which is okay! That's what's great — to be able to have those conversations. It's just good chemistry. We all care about each other. We talk about it all the time, that we're amazed that we've been able to do it this long and that it's working because in any work environment the stars kind of have to align. If you're apart of a creative department and this guy who had a certain flare moves and you get another guy, you lose that flare. So with the shop, it was definitely good that everybody got along. I think it helped that we had a lot of meetings and that we shared some drinks and hung out. We always go, "Yeah man, I'm going to help you because it's for the greater good," and that's our mentality. As long as we support each other like that, it's gonna be all up from here… PART FOUR: A GENUINE PRESENCEWe want to put good examples in here because the items you select are a reflection of you. When you sell something to somebody, you want to stand behind it. Some shops might try to be deceptive. They'll be like, "Oh you know, Pope John Paul painted this with his mom last week and I went to his house and got a tour of the Vatican…" But we don't do that. We put in things that are ready to go. They don't need work and they're not broken. You can take it, put it in your house, love it unconditionally, and have a relationship with it and we stand behind that. I try to express that and we show people that we do curate everything and we love every little item in here.A lot of people come in and think we're like four times as big as we are because we're getting new stuff in everyday. We're a small intimate space and things move quickly. But we're doing well enough where the business supports itself. We're happy we can live comfortably, you know? We're not like driving Maserati's, but we also don't really want to be. We just want to run a cool business and have fun. I think if you're genuine and you just believe in what you're doing, it all works out. So far it's worked for us — pretty cool.

Jonah Johnson Describes SmartOakland Public Data Utility for Correlations Between Poverty and Asthma
Jonah Johnson uses a helicopter analogy to walk viewers through a zoom out view of Oakland to explain how to look at the data we've gathered and how to begin to see patterns that help us see systems and larger issues to address.
Here, he explains Census Tract data and how you can learn a lot about what people are being exposed to when they go home every day.
This demo looks at the correlation between poverty and asthma. The difference between the orange and blue areas are levels of poverty. Blue is not afflicted by poverty and orange is some level of poverty.
Jonah's follow on videos talk about Census Block, neighborhood, and down to the home level. Once we get to the home level we can start identifying people who are at a very high risk of exposure to various environmental issues.
The home level is where we can now go and find where at risk children currently live in lead poisoned housing units so we can connect health and other qualified service providers with their parents and care givers to intervene and get them to safety before they become lead poisoned in that unit.
Stay tuned for more dashboards that show features that will be available to tenants and landlords in the very near future.

Our Story
"Why are so few people attending our super interesting world-changing events?" "How come no one is buying this great product? It really works, it helped my grandmother."
At our past jobs we somehow always kept bumping into those kind of questions.

Looking forward to putting our findings into practice, we started out by creating strategic websites. Digging deeper in trying to reach our goals, we arrived to content strategies.
Today we are convinced that a well-researched content marketing strategy is the way to go if you want to create meaningful and lasting relationships with your customers and achieve your business goals.

I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly they were able to become acquainted with the field of pre-school education and find the best solutions even in difficult situations. I would recommend Highlight Content especially for their professional and customer-friendly communication. "

On Sunday 06 December 2015, for the first time in seven years of this National-led Government, I saw an article that suggested that it might be on the brink of a major defeat. And when one looks at all of the problems that are starting to engulf National, it is not terribly surprising. But this one is about more than National. This potential defeat, should it happen is about one man's desire to change the flag, and an opposition that is galvanized enough to cause terminal damage to this Government.
I have never liked the flag referendums. To me it has always smacked of being a smoke screen for something much worse, such as probably the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement. It just seemed when the idea first came to public attention that the timing was exquisitely poor, and had a huge stench of "why now?".
There have been so many missed opportunities in the last 20 years, not just with this National-led Government of Prime Minister John Key, but also the preceding Labour-led Government of former Prime Minister Helen Clark. Like Ms Clark, Mr Key is seeking to leave behind some sort of legacy that he hopes New Zealand will remember him fondly for. Although there was nothing spectacular about it, Ms Clark's Government is perhaps better remembered for solid governance in a period – 11 September 2001 aside – that was relatively peaceful and free of major disasters or bad world events. Now with his Government having done seven years and facing a crippling bout of third term-itis where Ministers become indifferent, mistakes start to increase and the Opposition more confident, Mr Key is trying to leave his mark.
He is struggling. The dislike of New Zealanders for the whole flag change idea is widespread – even many of my National Party mates think it is a dumb idea or that it is hiding something worse. Mr Key is struggling to shake of the perception that he will ignore the view of the voters, based on past reactions to laws changes and votes that have not gone his way. The resistance is growing and it is something that the Opposition parties are all working together on. Labour, the Greens and New Zealand First are all dead set against it, using a considerable amount of their available media time to criticize the proposals. So is the Returned Services Association, many of whose members fought and died for that flag and all that it stood for then and now. New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has also made public a suggestion to the public that they write "keep our flag" on the ballot papers.
The deadline to get votes back is Friday 11 December. Mr Key might be expecting a flood of votes to fill up mail bags all over New Zealand in the next few days, but as yet only a third of people have actually bothered voting
Could this be the red flag moment for the Prime Minister that the Opposition have spent so long trying to get? A moment when the opposition to something the Government is doing is so great that it – unless one wants to lose the 2017 election – is not worth continuing?

In Destruction Lies The Seed Of Birth
Can poetry hurt us? they ask me before
snuggling inside my words …
Yes, we must destroy
ourselves in the constant
reformation that is this very moment.
We invent a great loss to convince ourselves we have a beginning. But
loss is a current: all that dark energy becomes a radiance
syntactic and full of buzz.
Because language is part of the
human organism, a life could end as an abrupt, violent sentence:
sudden resolve to fix what's been wrong
inked /at night onto the sky's open hand
… on the fate of the mind
… the page there was no time to write on.
All that dark energy —
whatever it is, it's a passion
from one with ability
to bear being misunderstood.
Whether you sing or scream,
the process is the same: You start inside yourself.
"In Destruction Lies The Seed of Birth" is compiled from lines created by the following poets, in order of appearance: Title — Maya Angelou; Stanza 1 — Patricia Smith; Stanza 2 — Bob Holman; Stanza 3&4 — Dean Young; Stanza 5-7 — JD McClatchy; Stanza 8 — Marianne Moore; Stanza 9 — Marvin Bell.

It's no secret that I think Microsoft Teams is an awesome product. I've written in the past about how I believe Teams is a great enabler for making people more productive and brings the right tools together in a place that makes a lot of sense.
What are messaging extensions?
Message extensions are available when you are creating a chat message (either a new conversation, or when replying to an existing message). Message extensions assist you by inserting content into the chat message you are composing.
Below is the Giphy messaging extension that allows you to search for an animated image and insert it into your message.
Why develop a messaging extension?
One of the resounding benefits of the Microsoft Teams client is being able to extend the out-of-the-box capabilities and integrate with your existing line of business (LOB) applications. Usually the benefit gain in integrating LOB applications into Teams is that it reduces the context switching for users and they spend more time actually getting work done, and less time moving between application, copying/pasting data or links.
Take a CRM application as an example, if you are discussing a customer in a conversation in Teams and needed to explain where that customer was located, or what the contact details were. The steps you would normally go through would be to open your CRM application, search for the customer, find the relevant details, then cut and paste multiple fields of text switching back and forth between the customer details in the CRM app and the conversation in Teams.
By extending Teams with Messaging Extensions, it is possible to provide an integration into your CRM system that would allow a user to search for a customer in Teams while composing a chat message, select the customer and have the details formatted nicely and inserted in the chat message all without having to leave Teams or even open the CRM application.
When you look at the core LOB applications within your organisation there are some key integrations such as this that can bring about real productivity gains.

text: These days, everyone's wondering how to connect with the baby boomers, including health and wellness companies such as spas. Boomers recognize the value of holistic, non-traditional health care and are willing to pay for it. According to the International Spa Association, companies looking to capture the mature consumer should focus on three specific strategies: 1) Focus on the results derived from treatments; 2) Highlight the ability to continue at-home treatments; and 3) Promote and encourage word of mouth referrals.
