(Inter)National Park-HoppingJanuary 04, 2017
With Yellowstone, Yosemite, Denali and so many other national parks beckoning, it can be easy to become American-centric when planning an outdoor vacation. In a country this size, it feels like there's always an open space to explore. But to keep the focus so close to home is to ignore some of the most beautiful terrain in the world.
The destinations of Mitch-Stuart's non-profit fundraising travel packages are chosen for any number of reasons: an amazing local culture, a tie-in with an event of some sort, or massively popular sights. But one of our favorite reasons is natural beauty, letting donors escape the day-to-day and get outside and into the world. And even if they may not be the focus of individual trips, these grand parks in other countries make for great additional selling points to help drive interest during a charity auction.
The phrase "active volcano" can conjure a few negative thoughts: Burning in lava, covered in ash, Vesuvius. The titular attraction of Arsenal Volcano National Park is no threat to the citizens of nearby towns, thankfully, but hikers can still see the consequences up close. It's far from the only attraction, though; with waterfalls, brave cane (a grass-like covering that grows to be tall enough to make a field maze-like) and a variety of bird species unmatched in Costa Rica all in one place, those looking for an escape into the natural world will have their wishes granted here.
The weather is usually a touch cooler in Alberta, the Canadian providence that is home to Calgary, Edmonton and the remarkable beauty of Banff National Park. A favorite for ice skaters, snowshoeing and ice climbing, Banff is a year-round destination; fans of warmer weather appreciate the hiking and swimming opportunities in the park in July and August, in particular. In addition, traveling to Banff also means being a short drive away from Jasper National Park, the largest in the Canadian Rockies and the home of Pyramid Lake and Marmot Basin ski area. Even the drive between the two, along the Icefields Parkway, is stunning.
For a national park that blends the beauty of wilderness with at least a touch of modernity, Cinque Terre may be the best choice. Located two short hours from Florence (our "Indulge in the Italian Culture and Countryside" package includes car rental, making a visit to the park possible), it was the first "national park" recognized by the Italian government, two years after UNESCO had named it a World Heritage Site. The hilly, seaside landscape of Cinque Terre has been a symbol of societal interaction with nature for decades, thanks to the fishing villages that line the shore, and has accordingly become a leader in sustainable tourism, working to protect the area from erosion and other dangers. Hiking over the foothills and down into Vernazza, with its pastel-hued buildings and restaurant kitchens filled with pasta and the catch of the day, makes for a truly magical combination of nature and community.

As I am sure you are aware this our first post to our blog, and we wanted to start off on a positive note, looking back at the biggest space achievements this year. Within the main post we will briefly discuss our three favourite points from this year, and there will be links to those three and anything else we find interesting at the end of this post. This will be a yearly occurrence from now on and I t would be nice to hear your favourite points as well. Enjoy 🙂
2014 has been a massive year for space exploration with the most notable highlight being the Rosetta mission, and the landing of Philae on comet Churyumov Gerasimenko, or 67P. Despite the complications that arose when Philae failed to deploy its grappling hooks, the mission and 10 years of waiting was all worth it in the end. Not only did the human race manage to land a probe on a comet millions of miles away, but we also gained extra insight into the formation of the early solar system. NASA also had their moment this year, with the recent success of the Orion spacecraft's first test flight everyone around the world is now excited by human exploration of deep space. However, NASA experienced a problem this year with the explosion of the Antares rocket just seconds after launch. Although the spacecraft's original mission was to deliver resources to the ISS, the completion of the mission was not entirely necessary as the station had enough food supplies to last until march, 2015. One final major event that happened this year regarding space would be the announcement of Lunar Mission One. As a British space enthusiast I was elated when I first heard about this, the revelation that Britain may finally be getting her own space program! I have pledged myself and can safely say that I was one of the people who kick-started (pun intended) Britain's space program. In a nut shell the project calls for the development of a lunar lander, which is to land on the south pole of the Moon and drill down between the depths of 20 metres and 100 metres. Drilling to this depth on the Moon has never been done before, and is hoped to give us a look back in to time when the Moon was formed.

New York City parents are furious over a school's call for students to observe a moment of silence in honor of terrorist Arabs squatting on Israeli land (Palestinians) who died in Gaza border clashes.
The Beacon School in Manhattan came under fire for the tribute to self-inflicted victims of riots organized by Hamas in which more than 60 were killed by Israeli forces last week during clashes. The terrorist group saw 50 members killed in the border violence.
"I am extremely upset because I did not send my child to a New York City public school to pray for Hamas operatives," one Jewish parent told the New York Post.
Trending: 95% of Ocean Plastic Pollution Comes From 10 Rivers, NONE From America #Environment #plastic #pollution
A student at the elite school made the announcement on Tuesday, shocking some students and outraging parents, according to the New York Post.
"As a Jewish student, I could see a lot of my Jewish friends get very weird when the moment of silence started," student Sophie Steinberg said. "I think that's Beacon's nature — to not be divisive but to bring up the things that no one wants to talk about."
"I just don't think any school should be promoting a moment of silence for terrorists. What if it was Islamic terrorists in ISIS?" the mother of one student said. "No school would be having that over the loudspeaker."
"I wish there was that conversation afterwards," Fortune Ndombo, a junior, said.. "There was no follow-up."
Parents have reportedly reached out to Principal Ruth Lacey but she refuses to comment on why they chose to praise bloodthirsty terrorists.
"We support civic engagement and advocacy amongst students, and encourage schools to provide inclusive environments where students are able to respectfully discuss current events," a Department of Education spokesman said, according to the Post.

The benefits of benefits…
April 19, 2007
For other Entrepreneurs out there: Advice on benefits
I've been reading a lot of entrepreneurial blogs out there and found that the topic of "benefits" is rarely discussed. Most cubicle entrepreneurs, otherwise known as corporate employees, are used to a wide variety of benefits, ranging from health-care, disability, maternity leave to other forms of insurance. The larger your employer, the cheaper and larger variety of benefits you've probably received. This is likely to spoil just about any entrepreneur who is struggling to pay health-care insurance for a party of 1. The remainder of this post will hopefully address some concerns by cubicle entrepreneurs regarding the anticipated costs of these corporate benefits once they pull the plug and head off on their own.
The entrepreneurs best friend in the benefits world is the U.S. government. Their is a law called COBRA that entitles any corporate employee up to 18 months of continued health-care coverage once he/she leaves the company. The good news here is that you will get your same health-care coverage at a fraction of the price it would cost you to purchase on your own. For example, I worked for Citigroup before taking the plunge to start OnCard Marketing. I had United Health Care Choice Plan A insurance (whatever that means) and was paying these health-care costs pre-tax out of my paycheck.
When I left Citigroup, I had to fill out a COBRA form, which they provided to me, that entitled me to continue receiving my United Health Care Choice Plan A for up to 18 months. The catch here was that I would need to pay the full premium, whereas before, Citigroup was paying for part of it. In the end, I was able to continue my great health insurance at approximately $420 per month. Yes, that's expensive, but there are many cheaper plans out there from other health-care providers (which was one of the best). At the most expensive end of things, a new entrepreneur leaving the corporate world probably spends about $470 per month, including health insurance and dental insurance (that's if you had both beforehand).
The downsides of COBRA are timing and flexibility. First, it's only good for 18 months, so you'd better have a plan B for obtaining coverage after that time. Maybe you have a wife who is a teacher or employed by somebody who would give you family coverage. Second, COBRA is not that flexible. Once you cancel your plan or part of your plan (dropping the dental coverage for example), you can't re-add it. So make sure not to cancel the health-care coverage and be sure you don't need dental if you decide to cancel. You'll never get it back.
The upsides to COBRA are numerous. The first big perk I wasn't aware of before leaving Citigroup was that Citigroup actually paid for my first 3 months of coverage ($470 per month) and split the second 3 months with me 50/50 ($470 per month). After month 6, I decided to drop my dental coverage and continue to pay $430 a month for health-care. While this is expensive, going without health-care coverage is a pretty stupid idea and I wouldn't recommend it. Like I said, there are other cheaper provider out there that might run you $200-300 per month. But these are high-deductible plans that will cost you money every time you go to a doctor and are only useful if you end up in the hospital with a huge problem.
So COBRA takes care of you for 18 months. The only question is, what are you going to do after 18 months? There are a few options. You're best bet is to obtain a high-deductible plan that will only pay for itself in the case of emergency. The problem you face is that nobody will want to give you health insurance as a party of 1 or 4 (if you have a family). It's all about risk diversification for the insurance companies. They'll make it much cheaper if you're part of a group of 10,000 than if it's just you. So, the sad reality is that if you are lucky enough to obtain health insurance after the 18 month COBRA is up, it will probably be really lousy. You may find that you are just "un-insurable" as a party of 1. Don't be surprised. Health-care companies have figured out that if you're one person looking for health-care coverage, you probably need it (which means huge loss for them).
Here are some good resources for COBRA and other healthcare providers.
I hope this helps those of you out there looking for answers on this topic.

For a while, I had GHI, which provided basic personal coverage at a decent price (I think it was about $150 per month). That was in upstate NY, though. NOt sure what their geographic coverage looks like.
Often, too, a city's Chamber of Commerce will have a group plan that individuals and very small businesses can sign on to. You have to pay the full premium, but at least you have access.

Brooklyn Mutt Show
Brooklyn Lyceum (227 4th Ave., Manhattan)

The rumors are true ladies and gentlemen: the Brooklyn Mutt Show barks back into the Brooklyn Lyceum for a two-day canine carnival.
Unlike the stuffy shows put on by Westminster and the American Kennel Club, four-legged locals from all walks of life will strut their fuzzy stuff in our large upstairs stage, judged by local enthusiasts making extremely discerning & difficult decisions, such as "Best Beard," "Softest Ears," "Most Nutritionally Advantaged" (by which we mean fattest) and, in what we think is a fur-st in the dog show omniverse, a "Snook-a-Like" contest, where we will have contestants preen their poufs and Paw-pump their way towards earning the honor of 'dog that most resembles Jersey Shore's Snooki.'
Winners will be competing for doggie bags of canine goods, and Brooklyn Mutt Medals to keep on their doghouse doors for years. FREE admission for viewers!

Christmas decorations have been around the city for a while but I only managed to get up early into a dry morning last Sunday.Combination of having a free day with no rain was something unusual in last few weeks so I didn't hesitate, took my camera and a tripod and went to the city centre.

The Veterans Affairs (VA) Department is broken and Secretary David Shulkin or his successor must cut the "bloat" from the agency, says Rep. Steve Russell (R-Okla.).
"I have strong opinions on how broken the VA is, and we can we can put lipstick on that pig and talk about how wonderful it is and all the great things they do, but it's broken in capital letters," Russell said in an interview with The Hill.
Russell backs partially privatizing veterans health care, which would be a controversial move.
Senate Veterans Affairs Committee ranking member Jon Tester (D-Mont.) told The Hill that if Shulkin is fired by President Trump, he would vote against any successor who wants to privatize the VA.

End of Year Fundraising!
Are you looking to support your favorite 501(c)3 nonprofit arts organization? There are dozens of ways beyond writing a check— and we wanted to share one that you can get something back from, too. GivingAssistant is the AmazonSmile of the rest of the internet, and you can designate a portion of automatic coupons for places like BestBuy, Target, and more to split between your own account and a donation towards The Alliance!
During Giving Week (Nov. 28 to Dec. 3), GivingAssistant is running a Double Cash Back, Double Giving event. When you shop at participating stores, your cash back—and your donations—will get doubled! Piece of holiday fruitcake. (Okay, two pieces of fruitcake.)
Speaking of fruitcake, holiday shopping kicks into high gear this week. That's why now, more than ever, committing 5 minutes to signing up and sharing with your friends will have a measureable impact on The Alliance's 2018 goals.
Here are a few of the things we want to get moving, with your support:
- Harmony Camps. Kids need our support to get to music camps, and with schools' budgets being slashed, the arts are as important now as ever.
- Local Music Programs. Music Teachers are in need of every bit of their communities' support. Let's keep music in schools!
- Community Impact. Our community needs depend on what funds we have available. Singing and comaraderie are what we're up to!
Spread holiday cheer by inviting your friends to use the Giving Assistant Button. It autoloads coupons at 6,000+ stores, and alerts them when they're on a cash back site so they won't forget their cash back or miss out on the opportunity to donate.
For more information, check out our fundraising page!

"Women's issues and body issues have plagued me my whole life. I've never felt beautiful enough and my self criticism has always kept me from being my truest self. I started this series as a way to see myself in a different light. To appreciate myself in my rawest state. I hope to bring awareness to the truth that regardless of how other people see you, your thoughts of yourself may not reflect the thoughts of others." - Callie
"This age of technology promotes a disconnect from real interaction. It can become a crutch in lonely times, a mind numbing escape from the loneliness I often feel." - Callie
"I reflect on my life a lot while I'm in bed. Mostly about my deep desire for partnership and connection. I often fall into a sad state of longing." - Callie
"I've been really hard on myself about my body my whole life. When I was 10, I turned into a woman in one summer, my body couldn't catch up to my growth and it left me with deep red stretch marks on my hips and breasts. From then, until at least 25, I would never wear a bathing suit without shorts or change in front of family or friends. So many women have stretch marks, and now as they've faded in my 31 years, I try to embrace my body without judgement. It's a work in progress." - Callie
"Though I do find the beginning of the project, with myself as the first subject, a bit self-gratuitous. I could never ask this of someone without baring myself and my issues. And as I continue to shoot other women, I realize our general reaction is similar, we all have struggles seeing ourselves as beautiful." - Callie
"I've spent a lot of my life as a retoucher for other photographers. I just kind of fell into it. I loved photography, and I loved the dark room and it was an extension of that. I never felt right about it, I never felt right about my contribution to the world. I feel like I'm paying penance for all these years of guilt, and I'm finally contributing something worthwhile." - Callie
"This image is particularly hard for me to share because I've had body issues my whole life. But this is about growth, acceptance, and loving yourself." - Callie
"I've been getting a lot of really great feedback for this project, thank you. But, I've been told a couple of times that while the idea and premise of the project is great, I'm too beautiful to be a part of the series. While on one hand, I'm flattered... on the other, this project isn't just about not wearing makeup... It's about our insecurities, our obligations, even our bad habits... Regardless of how other people see you, you may not see yourself in the same light. This is something women live with daily, regardless of how classically beautiful they are." - Callie

Stuffed Cabbage, Lakhana MalfufPublished February 7, 2018
Sitto's #Syrian Stuffed Cabbage, her Lakhana Malfuf, fed us all on just 2 heads of cabbage! Smiles all around the table could be seen, with no thought to how frugal a dish this really was! My uncles would love this dish and even if they popped in to see Sitto, they always left with a portion to take home. I don't know if it was the garlic and lemon scent, the Dibis Riman, her homemade Tamarind Syrup, or just the fact that they missed their Mom, but this was always a winner with everyone!
The amazing thing about Stuffed Cabbage, is that it is made in so many countries. In fact, it's a dish that will "tell" you which country produces it by the spices and the simmering juices. This Syrian version includes ground spiced lamb and rice, the stuffing giving another clue as to its origin, which is #Aleppo's cuisine! It's universally loved and as I mentioned, a budget-conscious dish that has been enjoyed for generations. I can talk to any number of people who remember their immigrant grandmother making their own country's version of this dish to perfection!
Years after my grandmother made her version, when I was newly married, I learned my mother-in-law's version. Mary put more of the tamarind syrup in her sauce, which prompts me to mention the generational differences between these two wonderful #Syrian cooks. When the children were young, I would fluctuate between the two recipes, my grandmother's or Mary's. Over the years, I couldn't tell you which one I favored – but the kids loved their grandmother Mary's version. Either way, you'll love the Aleppo spices and the fact that this dish gets even better when left over! For all the delicious details and both recipes, see page 84 and 85 of Sitto's Kitchen II cookbook.

I've been silent for a while. My work as a teacher has began again. Now I have lesser time for blogging. 😭
So I'm creating a new thread or whatever you call posts like this. Haha. It's like the Sunday Currently but it will be posted on Fridays.
Who wouldn't be in love with Fridays, anyway?
Fridays seem like a superhero that saves us from all the hardships of the whole week. So I feel like expressing how I feel on this happy day.
I'll be sharing feelings that will sum up my week. I will mostly share why I feel such. Let's see…
Happy: We'll have a long weekend here in the Philippines because of Eid'l Fitr. An extra day to rest means a whole lot!
In love: Heard the song Marry Your Daughter a while ago and I suddenly cried. You might thinks it's overacting but I really do cry whenever I think of weddings and how my future vow would be like. It would be one of my happiest days…but I'll definitely cry of happiness and love. That's for sure. ❤
Tired: To work is exhausting. But to work as a teacher means more… My feet hurt. My voice turned husky. And my body feels like I've been punch by something heavy.
Sad: Yes. I said that I'm happy. But I must say I'm also sad. And that's possible right? Right, ladies? I just feel incomplete. I'm missing a person a lot.
Confused: I wanted to go to my inaanak's (niece) birthday on Sunday but I feel so tired. I miss her a lot. 😭
Excited: I just heard that John Green will be releasing a new novel and I'm just soooo soooo excited! He's my favorite author, by the way and I just love his humor, wordplay, and everything. Reading his books makes me feel like I'm just talking to my best friend. I've read all his books and even a novella. That was years ago. It's about time for a new book. Ha! At least something good to look forward to.
Relieved: I'm hearing raindrops again and I feel like I'll have a good and comfortable rest tonight. Rain, its sound and scent, makes me feel at home in a whole new level. ☔
Yay! Another week of work is done. I'm thankful to reach another Friday night. It only means I'm still surviving. And I can focus on things I want to do…like reading and sleeping maybe? Haha.
Until next time. I hope we'll all have a happy weekend! ☺

Additional Activity Ideas
Debate Critique
Use the following phrases to make signs for your students. In any kind of debating activity or class discussion, ask the students to hold up his/her sign whenever one of their classmates commits one of these no-nos for historians:
Over generalization Unexamined nostalgia Presentism
Forest History Society
Evidence deficit Utopian standards Romanticization Binary categorization Teleology
"…In the aftermath of 1910, Chief Graves staked the agency's continued existence on the belief that it could in fact defeat fire. Toward that end, Graves embraced a cooperative approach with state and private associations to fight fire…and soon launched a fire protection campaign that involved removing fire from the landscape…The campaign, which would lead to the creation of Smokey Bear, would last for more than half a century and completely change forest ecology throughout the country during its lifetime..Now the folly of fighting backcountry fires is widely accepted and the role of fire in maintaining forest health is understood. The impact of the campaign is the most important legacy of the 1910 Fires and the Big Blowup—and it is a legacy that we are still coping with today."
Examine the ecosystem of a forest and the role that fire plays in that ecosystem.
Service Learning
Find ways to help in your community. Examine the policies and layout of your town or borough and think of ways to make the water cleaner or spruce up a public space.
Learning the National Parks
Ask individual students to choose one of the national parks or forests existing today, anywhere in the national system. Have students prepare a brochure and a fact sheet for that park. The fact sheet should include when the park was created, its location, major features and any problems, controversies, etc. Ask students to predict what might have happened to the land if it hadn't been designated as a conservation site. In the classroom have students locate the park they chose on a large map of the US with pushpins, flags or other devices. They might also outline the area covered by their various parks. Design a display of the student brochures.
Hey, Map!
As President, TR funded 21 reclamation projects, and established 150 national forests, 51 bird preserves, 4 game preserves, 5 national parks, and 18 national monuments. In order to give students a visual tool illustrating TR's achievements in conservation, provide each student with a map of the US (including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico). Using the map key (Appendix F), have each student fill in the states with letters representing lands/projects set aside by TR.

I recently was pre-qualified for a mortgage. My first. I would be buying my first house if it were to happen and I'm looking in New Jersey, Conshohocken, PA and Orlando, FL. But then the reality of taxes, maintenance, oil and gas all hit me and it's obvious that it's easier to just rent.
Even if the rent is 2,000 a month you're saving money and living better in most cases. You can't even get a studio in Manhattan for 2,000 a month.

We sat down with our friend Ales Nesetril, a digital designer and Creative Director at STRV. Ales has been focusing on interactive experiences and mobile apps for clients like Tinder, Boosted Boards, Lufthansa, Flip and others.
Happy to have you here Ales! What is your background, and how did you start with design?
I didn't plan to be a designer at first. My initial idea was to go study IT and programming in high-school to get some computer knowledge, but shortly after the first year I got interested in web design and coding websites. Long story short: Coding websites always looked too complicated to me, so I focused more on the visual part and playing with Photoshop.
I got my first (part-time) job during my high-school studies as a junior designer in a local company. Then I moved to Prague and have been gathering experience for four years, did a few freelance jobs here and there, and joined a social media agency which turned out to be a bad fit. Only then was I ready to make a step toward mobile apps and digital products.
It's funny because when I joined STRV I have only made like 2–3 apps so far. I wasn't sure if this direction is right either. But I stayed and worked day and night to become better at it. Two years later I was already co-leading a team and slowly moving towards shaping my position into what it is right now.
How does your workday look like, and what makes your workflow special?
I'd say my typical workday isn't any different from other designers out there, but what could make it special is my systematic approach.
I have a plan and system in almost everything I do, from tasks to time management, from daily/weekly agenda to my creative process.
It helps me to keep rules, automate certain things and over the years I'm becoming better at working effectively. It pays off especially when I have a lot on my plate, so I don't get crazy or overworked.
Though I'm a bit obsessed with planning, I keep my eyes on the prize and always get things done. That's why you see me creating and sharing so much over the years.
How do you manage your design team to achieve the best results for your clients?
I'm not really managing anyone in our team directly since we keep our team members self-managed. That's what most teams usually don't have, so I'd say it's pretty unique for us. Our designers are fully in charge of their own projects, task, and responsibilities towards clients and the company. We only provide general guidance, vision for the team and work collectively on our internal resources to keep everyone on the same page regarding tools, process, and know-how.
It's up to individual designers to do their best since one of our company values is freedom, but we also encourage everyone to be open minded for critique, feedback, and collaboration. Not only between fellow designers but mostly between other departments where developers and product managers usually come first at hand.
As a Creative Director, how do you approach your team of designers to successfully work with front-end developers?
In our case, it starts with a detailed onboarding for both designers and developers. I mean both the general onboarding when you join the company and a new project kind of onboarding. I'd say we have great internal resources that help us to align individual roles and have everyone on the same page with expectations and actual delivery.
Being present throughout the entire lifecycle of the project is also one of the things I'd highlight. Designers, developers, PM or QA, everyone is present on all calls, participating in project specification and sometimes even involved in selected stages of the process across disciplines.
We want everyone to know what we're building since day one and keep track of all changes being made along the way. For example, developers can observe designers during their process, be present and supervise how a new product is coming to life in the UX stage. In case they see a potential red flags we can all discuss it and clear out a lot of things right away. Same with the opposite where one of the things we do is to have designers doing "design reviews" as a part of the QA.
Where we saw a significant improvement lately and where we invested a lot of our effort is style guide/design system and documentation.
We believe having one source of truth that is flexible and easy to access to everyone is a keystone of a successful design and dev collaboration.
In general, it's an ongoing and never-ending story, because we're often tweaking our process on the go. Both disciplines are constantly changing, and I think it's important to evolve the company's internal operations accordingly.
Let's get back to your work, what design project that you worked on is your favorite?
If I choose one of the recent ones: I have spent almost half a year working internally on our company's brand refresh. Our visuals and style are nice and everything, but we wanted to give it a proper meaning. We also looked into brand positioning, brand voice and other related things as a whole and wanted to bring this all to another level of consistency.
For me, as someone with only limited experience with branding, this was a great opportunity to explore a new discipline in detail. It was more about the "thinking" behind branding for the most part, and I have really enjoyed being involved because it was like a completely new world I didn't know existed. I saw a lot of things for the first time and found it really interesting.
Mostly I got involved towards the end of the project where we have worked on our brand identity update and the whole visual part. Again, for someone who mostly does UI/UX, this was a great chance to try something different. So, of course, I got over-excited and polished every detail.
What's the biggest lesson you have learned on this project?
I'd say there was nothing particular but in general a realization how much there is still to learn, and how many things I can try and practice besides what I already know. Not sure how others feel about this, but sometimes it's like being in your own bubble where you think you are at the top and there is no need to grow more (or not being sure how). I really appreciate moments like this, where you get back to the square one.
Were there any obstacles or challenges?
Since almost every Department Lead and Manager were involved in the process on our side I saw the biggest challenge in aligning everyone in terms of our updated visuals and all new things we'll be introducing. I took full responsibility for our brand as a part of my Creative Director role, and I have focused a lot not only on the output we were creating but also on clear communication with all stakeholders (and later on everyone in our company). I feel like I also made a big step forward in terms of my management and communication skills.
Do you have any time for side projects? Are they important for your personal growth?
Side projects are a big part of my career. I have gained a lot of experience working on these and they are partially responsible for where I am right now. However, I do less than I used to. It's probably because I focus more on quality over quantity.
Nowadays, I value things that last over one-time spikes in personal analytics.
In the long term, I'm positioning myself more as an artist, not only a designer. That means I might be doing other stuff than just UI/UX. I hope that my next project will be more "artsy" if you will.
What would be your dream client to work for?
As a big fan of electronic music and e-sports, I'd like to work with brands or individuals from these industries. I'm actually really close to making it happen, because of one of my current client projects is related to it.
The fact that I'm so close scares me a little because it feels like I've been waiting for this moment for my whole career and I don't want to lose it. Luckily, I have great support from my team.
You're very active across many Social Media channels. How important in your opinion is a self-promotion for designers and why?
It's not necessary for everyone and I'd even say it's overrated. If you have a clear goal of what you want to achieve or how it should help you in your career then it's totally on point to invest time and effort into building a personal brand.
Having the right motivation, something to say and some sort of "unique voice" or style also helps if you want to stand out and spread your message, work or story. Otherwise, there is no need to chase it just because everyone else is doing it. Stay true to yourself and focus on good work. It will pay off the most in long-term anyways.
Looking at the current state of the design scene I'm afraid most people only look for a public validation and chase fancy stats to look like they are better than someone else. Often it's not about bringing value, quality work or in-depth opinions. I'm doing my best no to do that and instead focus on sharing only quality work and in depth insights, as I mentioned before.
I think people should be careful with both who they follow and also with understanding what self-promotion means. You don't really want to stay in a loop of building better personal brand than someone else's personal brand and not growing as a designer. Focus on your work and experience first, then make a story about it. Not the other way around.
Focus on your work and experience first, then make a story about it. Not the other way around.
Which channels work best for you and why?
Well, if we break it down I usually publish the biggest or most detailed pieces to my portfolio website, Behance or Medium. This is where I showcase the whole project and talk about how I made it as a whole.
Then I use Instagram, Dribbble and some other platforms to post smaller previews or daily progress with whatever I made or discovered. I'd like to add YouTube as well soon to talk about my work and thought process. Not really aiming for a vlog, because that's what I've tried and it didn't work for me. But I think it could be interesting for people to see me doing screencasts and explaining the way how I work and think during the design process.
What's the most important skill to develop for designer and why?
I think we don't talk much publicly about presentation skills and communication. I always say: you can do the best work of your life, but if you can't explain it to your client, colleague or manager, it's going to be useless and you're never going to make it into a final product.
This used to be an issue for me as well, but facing more and more clients, doing more and more meetings and calls helped me to practice, get confidence and adopt a particle way of explaining things. Now I feel way more comfortable to "sell my work," present ideas, open new doors and opportunities and do it in a way so it makes other people excited. Besides design skills, I'd recommend anyone reading this to focus on communication skills as a second priority.
Where do you want to be in 5 years as a designer?
I'd like to grow a more diverse portfolio of my work. Go beyond just being a designer and focus more towards being a creative and artist as I mentioned in the context of side projects.
It's fascinating for me to try to design and write a physical book one day, speak at a "big" conference, do an exhibition, tour the world to do design reviews and critiques, create some music or launch limited edition clothing line. There is plenty of options for expressing myself, so I want to select the most interesting ones and do them one at a time in the upcoming years.
Thanks to my experience, connections, and environment, today, I'm in a position that allows me to go and do some of the stuff I mentioned. I sometimes joke that these things are not dreams or wishes, but things that I'm actually going to do anyway. I'm so grateful for having an option to think about it this way. I have worked my ass off to get here.
If they made a movie about your design work, what would it be called?
It would be called "Never Stop Creating". A true story about how I just can not stop creating and exploring new things. Honestly, I do not know where this ends, and it worries me a little, cause I sometimes have a hard time to rest. You may say I do it for the others to be always "inspiring". But the truth is I do it for myself because there is something inside me that is never satisfied. Always looks for a new thing to explore or create.

There may be a need for you to provide people who come to your house on a regular basis with secure access to your home. These people may include family members, carers, home help, nurses, and community services. Having a keysafe fitted will mean that you do not have to give your keys to anyone. It is also handy if you accidently lock yourself out. A keysafe is a small metal constructed box with a coded push button keypad which is secured to the brickwork outside your property in a discreet place. The keysafe would contain your spare keys to your property. You would only give the keysafe code to visitors that you trust. Your trusted visitors would use the keysafe to access your property and put the keys back in the keysafe box after use. You can purchase or rent the keysafe from us and we can install this for you as well.

My making-New-Year's-resolutions making days passed a long time ago. I suppose at some point I just figured if I wanted to make a change or pursue a goal, there was no reason I couldn't kick off the effort on any of the other 364 days.
But since I haven't actively worked toward any New Year's resolutionish goals in the last few years, maybe now is a good time to revisit the tradition. So here are a few resolutions I am considering. Note that they're only being considered. I'm not making any promises. We'll see how it goes.
1. By the end of 2012, I will finish my cookbook.
2. I will get a new refrigerator, cooktop and bedroom furniture. The resolution part of this is not that it happens but that we can get our finances to a point where we can afford all three.
3. A new blog will be posted at least once a week.
4. Next summer, I will make enough salsa and jelly to fill at least one shelf in our pantry. I will not let the canning season pass without making this happen.
That's plenty. Any more than that and I will be accepting defeat before I ever get started. There's nothing unrealistic on this list. There aren't any overused resolutions to lose weight, exercise, grow my hair, find a hobby or learn a skill. I just have to remind myself of that along the path from January 1 to December 31 and beyond.
Are you making resolutions? What are they? Can you start working on mine?!

The strongest bone in the human body is the femur while the semintendinosous, semimembranosous, and the biceps femoris are part of the muscle group known as the hamstring muscles that surround this important bone in the leg. According to the American College Sports Medicine the hamstring muscles are often the most injured part of the lower extremity when it comes to sports, particularly soccer and football.
The NFL has had its fair share of hamstring injuries this year, with the Jaguars' Leonard Fournette nursing a hamstring issue suffered Week 3 and has yet to be cleared to return. According to Florida Football Insiders, the Jaguars may rest Fournette and his lingering hamstring issue through the Week 9 bye in hopes to having him available for Week 10 action.
The Jaguars backfield has been absolutely depleted by injury this year. Fournette was the starter going into the season, with backups T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant vying for snaps behind the second year runner from LSU. Grant, who averaged an outrageous 8.3 yards per carry in 2017 subsequently being hyped up by offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett to get more touches this season, suffered a Lisfranc foot injury in Week 5 against the Chiefs and headed to injured reserve for the rest of 2018. This leaves Yeldon to do the heaving lifting as Fournette continues to nurse his hamstring injury.
Yeldon has produced three solid weeks in PPR formats with back to back 20+ point efforts the past two weeks since taking over RB1 duties. Yeldon was drafted in 2015 as a potential bell cow back, but has never really materialized into one. Yeldon now grabs the reigns again as the bell cow back, this being a contract year, and will look showcase himself with Fournette out and possibly cash in this offseason by resigning with the Jaguars or testing free agency. Fantasy owners can possibly buy low on Yeldon now, hoping he signs with a running back needy team who will view him as a Jerick McKinnon type free agent.
With Grant now on IR and Fournette possibly out until Week 10, the Jaguars signed former All-Pro Jamaal Charles to a contract earlier this week to help fill the void in the backfield. Charles was known for his electrifying runs as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs back in his prime. Now 31, Charles will be on his third team in as many years. Last year Charles signed a one year deal with the Denver Broncos to help solidify a backfield also hampered by the injury bug at the time. Charles showed he still had some gas left in the tank, as he averaged 4.3 yards per carry on just 69 attempts. Charles did suffer an ACL injury in 2015, so the signing is a calculated risk by the Jaguars. Fantasy owners should be able to add Charles for free in the free agent pool as he was available in 96 percent of leagues prior to his signing.
The Jaguars will deploy a mix of Yeldon and Charles for the next handful of weeks and will look to get back on track in the win column this coming week against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

This is the sort of memento one can end up with when looking after an Italian band with a penchant for the film The Wicker Man and a certain Superfritz reserves a table at one of Oslo's most pleasant eateries.
Sometimes, life truly feels a little magical.
And we couldn't resist sharing this little picture of two esotericists enjoying the ultimate earthly pleasure, namely a flaming volcano drink at Oslo's rather decent Tiki bar.

in our defense, we shipped them right back to Dago-land the moment they'd done their job. Which they did rather well, I must admit. I guess these Mediterranean types aren't all bad.ReplyDelete
1. They came voluntarily. (V) - They would have played for freeReplyDelete

'Change yourself in few hours/days', 'Habits of successful people', 'You can be rich in no time'
'Just being positive makes 99% difference' are few example titles which we often come across.
Did you audit whether such content really works for you
Some original thoughts have been presented in the rest of this content with a statement
'Grooming' Books didn't work for me
World's greatest poet well versed in language cannot make his son a world class poet whatever quantity of quality of planning he does. He cannot miss the 'run in the mill' critical exercise starting from A, B, C, D … followed by A for apple, B for Bat … etc., in his vision to make his son a poet. In the same lines, a craftsman, a scientist, a doctor cannot make people equivalent to them by translating their experiences into content in the form of readable and attractive sentence phrases.
I have been personally seriously researching on book lovers and readers since a decade – I myself am a voracious reader. I am sorry; I cannot justify my claims with statistical figures and facts. Yes, book readers are more informed, more enlightened and gentler but they are not as successful as their counterparts in their respective career endeavors.
If that fact was true, every human being in this World would have been an intellectual and good.
I am trying to elicit my observations as follows:
- Every person is born with a unique genetic map
- Genetic map determines the complete physio-psycho boundaries/band of the person. In other words, the genetic configuration with which one is born is the critical key which controls the minimum and maximum of everything
- The person cannot play beyond those boundaries. 5 footer cannot become 6 footer whatever he does. In the same lines, a person with limited thinking ability cannot think fast like a genius – processing capacity of CPU limits the speed performance, and as such
- The maximum a person can grow, transform is limited to the configuration with which he/she is born. The configuration limits are the boundaries
- The experience of every person is unique in nature. Kids born in same family, brought up with same diet and environment too differ many a times to a greater extent in many ways
Writers are those who have great ability to present their thoughts in most impressive way. We only witness one in one thousand people becoming a writer – their ability has to be attributed to their genetic configuration. The way set of circumstances impact a writer's mind is different from those of common lot. The key learning deductions are just specific to the psyche boundary limitations of the writer. The learnings could be genuine but they work only for people who has similar genetic configuration and who had exactly similar set of circumstances in their respective lives – and definitely not for the rest. An annotation – Liquid oil cannot be mixed in liquid water. If we try to mix, Oil will remain in the container changing the way water looks and tastes but heavier oil remains itself from lighter water separately.
The mismatch between one's own physio-psyche ecosystem and the external knowledge can be detrimental – Such learnings impact people negatively. By spending time and money on grooming content, common lot get enthusiased, reframe their priorities, aspirations and succumb.
The objective of this small insignificant write-up from an insignificant person is not to discourage you from reading nor with any offence to writers. But to insist – Read but don't get force framed.

In the worst case of Laker-on-Laker crime since this, Lonzo Ball released a diss track about his teammate Kyle Kuzma. The two have a playful relationship, frequently roasting each other on social media, but this song seems a bit mean spirited.
The track, maturely titled "Kylie Kuzma" — transforming Kyle into a girl's name is such a sick burn — delivers disses big and small. The Rush decided to fact check the song, so make sure you check out the video to see which of Ball's rhymes were fact and which were fiction.
Sticking with the rap game, The Rush is using the song to celebrate the Golden State Warriors as they embark on their championship parade. Our celebration includes an in-studio rap performance from a very special guest!

The stone marks the opening of the Holy Trinity Church Hall by F. T. Derham in 1886. As you may know, Derham was Thomas Swallow's son in law. He was appointed partner and managing director of Swallow and Ariell in 1877, a position held by several generations of his descendants - not unlike Kitchens, the subject of the previous post. Derham was an extremely influential person in Victoria: first as member and later mayor of the Sandridge Municipal Council and later as MLA for Port Melbourne and postmaster-general in the Gillies-Deakin ministry. He introduced the penny and parcel post to Victoria - significant communications innovations of the time. The Age of January 30, 1930 said of Derham
A man to do things and get things done. One who could speak. And one who could write logically and lucidly.Holy Trinity Church Hall has been undergoing extensive refurbishment under the energetic guidance of Father Noel Whale who came out of retirement to bring new life into the church community. The church hall is becoming a fully fledged church. The original prefabricated church blew down in a storm in 1908. The replacement brick church became apartments in the late '90s in what remains a controversial treatment of this locally significant heritage place.
Holy Trinity is important to the Society because so many Sandridge and later Port Melbourne residents marked the important life moments there - births, marriages and deaths. The PMHPS holds these records and many people investigating their family history find a connection to Holy Trinity.

The closure of the Forth Road Bridge has had a major knock-on effect for South Queensferry.
Businesses have lost trade and it had been reported the empty streets resembled a ghost town with the lack of people.
With over 100,000 people travelling over the bridge on a typical working day significant disruption has been caused.
Derek Dailly, general manager of the Hawes Inn on Newhalls Road in South Queensferry explained the last week had been incredibly stressful.
His business, like many others in the town, had lost reservations and was losing money.
He said: "We are about 20 per cent down on what we had originally booked in and this week may be more than that.
"The weekend was very quiet. Sunday was around half what we would normally take."
With the bridge closed until at least January, it looked like these businesses would struggle through what should be the busiest time of the year.
However a new campaign has been launched by the local busineses declaring their love of the town.
'I love South Queensferry' was created as businesses try to remind local people the High Street is open as usual.
Manager of Maisies, a boutique in the town, Caley Morrison is hopeful the campaign will bring businesses together to tackle the problem of the bridge being closed.
She said: "The weather has been horrendous and the bridge is off limits, however we are all still open for business.
"We need the local people to come and support us and remember that this high street is full of excellent shops that have something for everyone."
Aware of the ghost town connotation Caley was glad the town held a late night shopping event last night.
She said: "We were open until 9pm yesterday (Thursday) and had a great time showing everyone what is on offer.
"We held the same event last week and so many locals were completly unaware of what was on offer on their doorstep.
"With the roads quieter than ever, it is actually the perfect time to visit. You will have plenty of parking spaces to choose from and have a great day out."
With the Facebook page steadily climbing in popularity, a video has been posted online highlighting all that goes on in South Queensferry.
Surrounding areas have not felt the closure of the bridge as much as South Queensferry.
A West Lothian Council spokesperson said: "There has been no major issues on the West Lothian road network as a result of the Forth Road Bridge closure. However, to help ease any congestion and to ensure that people can travel in and out of West Lothian as easily as possible, we have temporarily suspended road works in key areas.
"We will continue to review and revise the restrictions on roadworks on a day-to-day basis as the situation develops and we would encourage people to plan ahead and follow the guidance and advice issued by Transport Scotland."
Bo'ness Councillor Sandy Turner said: "If anything the journey to Edinburgh and the East via the A993, A904, Queensferry and onwards is probably less likely to be subject to the delays due to the closure of the birdge."

Mattel MOTUC Filmation He-Man Review
Want to know something frightning? See that picture above; from that angle He-Man looks like Kelly Ripa. It's haunting me now …
February marks the first entry in the newly named "Club Grayskull" subscription: He-Man. Originally the subscription was called "Classics 2.0" but a week or two back I received an email from Mattel claiming that they changed it. I'm not really sure why they needed to go through the effort since the subscriptions have already been sold, but I'll assume it is posturing for the future. So I guess that could be a good sign!
Club Grayskull is basically main characters from Masters of the Universe redone in their Filmation cartoon look. We had a six figure Filmation subscription a couple years back in 2013, but that was mostly one shot characters from the cartoon like Icer and Batros. This one is more focused on main characters that have been done in Classics previously like He-Man, Skeletor, Evil-Lyn, and others. During the original Masters of the Universe run the cartoon was influenced by the toys, so they never really went back and made a second He-Man that looked more like the show. So this is a first for all of these characters, and it's a pretty exciting subscription.
Masters of the Universe Classics – He-Man
Release Date: 02/15/2016 (Club Grayskull Subscription)
Price: $20.00 ($25.00 non sub)
First things first, they changed the box! For the first time in eight years we have a change of packaging for the single carded Masters of the Universe Classics figures. We've moved from a blister card to a window box. The window box also has a slipcover which I assume is the replacement for the big brown shipper that packaged figures used to (and still will outside of this subscription) come in. The bios have been omitted, which has been replaced with a little blurb about how Mattel is bringing the Filmation cartoon back to life. The box is also almost collector friendly, if it wasn't for the plastic bands that need to be cut to free He-Man.
He-Man comes packed with his power sword and a a stone structure that can be used to rack his sword. If we are looking for inaccuracies look no further than the color of the sword. The sculpt looks decent as far as I can tell (it's the same one that was packed with Flogg, and it's not completely accurate but close enough for me), but the color is too dark and almost matches the color of his harness. Whereas the sword should be more of a silver tone than what we ended up with. He-Man does, however, have a sheath to store his sword when not calling upon the power of Grayskull. He also has the stone structure if he so chooses to rest his sword there.
His sword gripping hand is slightly more open than it needs to be to hold the sword. A fairly easy remedy I've found for this is just heating it up and pushing it in a little. He grips it fine after that, and it also makes a decent makeshift fist.
In order to make a Filmation He-Man from the Masters of the Universe Classics body the following changes needed to be made: new boots, new belt, new loincloth, new harness, new forearms, and new head. I probably didn't need to say "new" before every single one of those items but there is no going back now.
However, let's address the 500 lb gorilla in the room, the ankles. I love them. It's been years since we've had functional ankle rocker joints in MOTUC. The joints even have better range than a Marvel Legends' ankle, which is very uncharacteristic of Mattel to go out of their way and innovate something. My He-Man's ankles are nice and tight, but I can see how in time they could start to loosen up. I've noticed that since they've been digging the pin-hole deeper into the head we get less neck movement. Making it hard for him to look down at his sword like he does when holding the sword with both hands.
Overall, Filmation He-Man is a big hit for me! Most of the problems I have with him were already inherent issues with the Masters of the Universe Classics body, so I can't hold him completely accountable for those. Last year burned me out pretty hard on He-Man variants. There are a lot of them out there, but this is something special. This is something that has not been done before. They did a great job with it and it appears from the rather instant sell-through that people at least like the idea of it. For $20 as a subscriber I'm more than pleased and almost wish I got a second sub.
He-Man sold out pretty damn fast over at Matty. It may be worth keeping an eye on Amazon to see if a decent deal pops up.

Cool! I think you're the first review I've seen of him. I got mine the other day and that packaging is awesome! I'm almost tempted to leave him in it. I kinda wish I got a second sub as well just for him but 2 full subs? Ouch! lol Hopefully he might see a rerelease down the road. Great review!
Jake McCravey
Never touch another man's peter. That's what my dad told me when I used to watch He-Man.
name unknown
way back when I was a 10 year old boy in 1983 I was into these characters.
He Man was my kind of hero, Skeletor was a badass and now that I am a 43 year old man I still remember the good times with my figures.
