The 17/18 President of UCL's Lawyers Without Borders Student Division takes us through their activity at UCL, as well as plans for next year
Eamonn Lynch-Bowers
President of LWOB UCL Student Division
Lawyers Without Borders is a pro bono organisation with a global presence. Its dedication to strong international ties and worldwide collaboration allow LWOB to draw upon the strength of lawyers from all over the world to face the legal challenges of the 21st century, particularly in the developing world. The charity does crucial work in parts of the world where the tradition of the Rule of Law – access to justice, equality before the state, open and fair criminal trials etc. – is in acute need of reinforcement and substantiation by trained legal experts. Historically, the charity's recruitment of volunteers has been focused on the USA, Britain, and Australia, though its reach is expanding every year.
LWOB student division at UCL facilitates the core values of the organisation within the student community.
One of the first challenges to face when setting out to defend these values is a lack of general legal awareness. Often, the issues LWOB seek to confront remain largely outside the public eye – though naturally, the well-reported actions of leaders who seek to demolish existing Human Rights frameworks for political rather than legal reasons are also well covered by Lawyers Without Borders. This can lead to overarching misconceptions of the issues LWOB seek to tackle – therefore, the student division has taken steps to improve public understanding. In 2016 we began work to publish a termly newsletter, which we hope to continue into the next academic year. The aim of this publication is to bring the university community closer to the issues that LWOB, and the students who comprise our division, are seeking to solve. These issues have ranged from FGM and ethical commercial practice to the international legal framework and systemic governmental corruption. Similar issues have also been addressed by our weekly blog, which tends to explore legal aspects of current events such as the recent Miller case on Brexit and the Trump presidency.
We have also encouraged students and staff to attend events that serve to stimulate dialogue and promote discussion between experts and interested groups. Last year, for example, we hosted a lecture on the issue of modern slavery in the corporate world, at which guests including Amnesty International and UCL's own Centre for Access to Justice (CAJ) spoke on this important issue. It is very important to the student division at UCL that we are able to bring such groups together, thereby improving collaboration between pro bono institutions.
In addition, the UCL division has been striving to reach out to the broader community. It is for this reason that we have been pushing social media as a useful channel for encouraging those who might not be aware of the importance of pro bono organisations to take interest in our causes on a case by case basis. We have developed an online presence on Facebook and Twitter, and hope to expand on this by working with other LWOB student divisions to broaden our reach.
Next term we hope to develop the work of the 16/17 academic year, in particular increasing our output of written content through our newly created publications subdivision. We will build on the events we created last year, as well as aim to host a larger conference attended by LWOB affiliations from across the country to bring legal experts from the university sector together.
As LWOB expands at UCL, having been founded last year, we hope to encourage more students to engage with the issues that Lawyers Without Borders defend daily, and encourage student activism in pro bono work generally.
In October 2017, we will be accepting applications for new members of the Lawyers Without Borders Student Division to work in subgroups. For more information, see the CAJ website (Here).

|That'd be pretty cool though if someone did make a Sasara figure in that costume, I guess I'd prefer it if the bikini weren't removable, unless she were anatomically realistic. I've got a lot of figures with a castoff option whose clothing looks unusually bulky since it has to be robust enough to handle being removed so these days, I don't mind too much if a figure can't have its clothes removed. Except for Daiki's Saber. I'm still upset about that.

RFL Home & Garden Expo 2016 – Aphrodite Shop, Heart Homes & BaZar
The RFL Home & Garden Expo 2016 is now open and will run to March 6th. It's the largest and longest running event dedicated to Home & Garden in Second Life™ and raises funds for Relay For Life – The American Cancer Society. Read more about it on their extensive website. As you can imagine, there's all sorts of exhibitors from well known brands to up and coming designers, hobbyists and professional merchants. Each exhibitor is required to release two brand new 100% donation items and there's also a wonderful 50% donation gacha section and even a special hunt!
This is possibly my last Expo post but it's by no means least – and I'm showing items from Aphrodite Shop, Heart Homes and BaZar.
Aphrodite Shop make all sorts of wonderful and comprehensive furniture and decor sets, often on a theme. These include a lot of family and couples oriented sets, including some very cute nursery sets for babies and toddlers. They are also well known for their interactive kitchenware, centerpieces and themed food items. In addition they make some lovely garden items such as campfires, greenhouses children's tea party sets and garden tea table sets.
The 100% donation items include a magnificent tiered cake stand with inspirational cupcakes, cookies and larger decorated cakes at the top. The double layered cloth table is also included and you can rez this as a coalesced piece at 25 LI. Permissions are Copy/Modify. Other donation items are the two boxes of inspirational cupcakes and cookies. These open on touch and close again to keep them fresh! Cupcakes are 14 LI and cookies 7 LI. Both are Copy.
Heart Homes are a partner company to Aphrodite Shop, and they sell full room sets of furniture so basically, lounges, dining rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms… in addition there are some gorgeous homes and outdoorsy items like greenhouses and outside tea tables fully set. Some of these are themed, for example holiday lounge furniture, fantasy bathroom, Tuscan country bedroom set. The idea being that if you're not a stylist, here's a whole room of furniture already matched and no problem… just rez!
The 100% donation item is the 'Model's Bath Tub', a humorous addition to your home in the shape of a high heeled shoe! The tub is 5 LI and Copy. You need to sit on the tub to fill the bath with plenty of choices – cool or hot steamy water, bubble bath, rose petals red or white, milk and chocolate. After all that, there's an empty and clean texture which gives you a super shiny bath. Poses are single sits for ladies and gents – 9 and 6 – some of which add props to amusing interactive animations.
BaZar is a well known and long established Home & Garden company run by Ria, whom I had the pleasure of interviewing some while back. A most pleasant person who tries her best to please her customers, of which there are many!
For the 100% donations items, Ria has made the "Glam Closets", for both ladies and gents. Now you can rez these units separately or simply use the rezzer for the lot which is easier to use when you want the closets lined up properly. Extreme low Land Impact of only 15 for all this F.A.B. You've just got to have a wall spare in your bedroom for this lot. There's two varieties – warm wood and a pristine white wood. I really couldn't decide which I liked best and I suppose it would depend on your existing decor.
The detailing is wonderful, even a gent's watch collection and a safe is included. Pick and choose your units or use them all.
BaZar's Hunt gift is the "GRS Chair", LI 3, a modern classic with texture change wood and blanket. There's also a simple version without blanket included in the gift and that drops the LI to 2. There are 6 poses for ladies and gents plus some interactive animations such as reading, drinking coffee and surfing your tablet. Here's the white wood version by the white Glam Closets and you know you can never get Moz off his computers *laughs*.
Finally, there's the "Glam Ottoman". A little beauty at 2 LI, Permissions are Copy/Modify. There's texture change for beige, leather and softest blue – perfect for various decorations schemes.
Here's me in a moment of contemplation about… what's for dinner 🙂 Animations are 9 assorted poses for both ladies and gents plus 8 couples poses. You can also set access on this furniture in case you don't want some of your friends leaping around on your pristine Ottoman!
Direct Slurl to Aphrodite Shop on Hope 3
Direct Slurl to Heart Homes on Hope 3
Direct Slurl to BaZar on Hope 8
Stop Press! There's an Expo photo contest on with thousands of lindens worth of prizes!! Everyone is invited… read all the details here.
Cheers, m'dears 🙂

Once there was a ball in the mansion. Eliza Simpson visited it, dressed as a young lady. Later, in follow-up confusion, she ran to the stall and helped Virgil to escape.

Young Choreographers' Competition: objectives and issues
It is often difficult today for a young classical/neo-classical choreographer to gain recognition or launch a creative project. Hiring an ensemble of classically trained dancers that can be available for several weeks to create a performance, finding theaters where they can be booked, etc. are activities that are too often out of reach.
Thus above and beyond providing support for emerging young choreographers and new talented individuals, one of the issues pointed out is renewing the ballet repertoire and giving it high visibility in the profession both nationally and internationally.
To assist emerging young choreographers, in 2015, Charles Jude and Thierry Malandain have decided to create a competition to identify, highlight and assist two budding talents during three seasons by giving them the means to create for an ensemble of classical dancers and present their work to audiences.
Another objective is also to help attract and promote aspiring choreographers that didn't dare try their luck until now.
The purpose is to assist an "artistic associate" at the Centre for Choreographic Cooperation to prepare him or her to direct a Ballet (artistic and team management, communication, partner relationships, seeking funding, etc.).
Today, the Bordeaux National Opera's Ballet, the Malandain Ballet Biarritz with the CCN Ballet de l'Opéra national du Rhin and the support of the Caisse des Dépôts group, launch the 2nd Edition of the Emergent choreographers contest.
Competition's General Programme
15 october 2017 – 17 december 2017: call for applications
15 january 2018: six finalists nomination
27 may 2018: final round for the 6 finalists. Selection in Bordeaux (France) Grand Theatre of two winners and special awards
2018-2019 Season: creating and performing residencies with both Ballet companies.
Six finalist
The six candidates selected for the final phase which will take place May 27 2018 at the Grand Théâtre of Bordeaux (France) are:
★ Robert Bondara (Polish National Ballet)
★ Marioenrico D'Angelo (Saarländisches Staatstheater)
★ Craig Davidson (ex Ballet Royal des Flandres from 2003 to 2013 & Sempeoper Ballet from 2014 to 2017)
★ Julien Guérin (Ballets de Monte Carlo)
★ Ludmilla Komkova (Ballet du Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden)
★ Mattia Russo (Compañía Nacional de Danza de España from 2012 to 2017, choreographer in the company Kor'sia) & Antonio De Rosa (Compañía Nacional de Danza de España from 2011 to 2017 – soloist from 2013, choreographer in the company Kor'sia)
Centre for Choreographic Cooperation
Before presiding over the destinies of their respective dance troupes, the former Bordeaux National Opera Ballet's Choreographer and Director Charles Jude and the Toulouse Capitole Ballet's Choreographer and Dance Director Kader Belarbi were leading "étoile" dancers at the Paris Opera Ballet. As for Thierry Malandain, he has made a name for himself as the creator of works presented in France and worldwide with Malandain Ballet Biarritz as well as prestigious international ballets.
Today, these three figures focus on the aesthetics of classical dance from its roots to its most current forms. Their collaboration is a result of the Greater South West's Centre for Choreographic Cooperation (in French: Pôle de coopération chorégraphique du Grand Sud-Ouest).
The Centre's project came to be in 2012 as a result of several observations. Ballet, now more than ever, continues to delight a broad audience thanks to works taken from its repertoire and creations. Despite this popularity, there are only five hundred dancers employed under permanent contracts in France, there are very few troupes compared to other countries, and ultimately there aren't many young choreographers demanding a commitment to academic vocabulary. This is even more ironic than the vocabulary, since Ballet as a theatrical genre earned a reputation for excellence in France before spreading throughout Europe and then worldwide.
In this context, the Centre's aim is to encourage a joint analysis of Ballet today by creating and producing new choreographies, an economic model for tours, conditions for emerging young classical/neo-classical choreographers, training and dancing careers, etc.

Tournament Etiquette Guide
Prepared by the Rules Committee of the Australian Scrabble Players' Association
Issued July 2007
What is etiquette? It's being courteous and considerate, playing in the "spirit of the game" a spirit of friendly competition, with mutual respect; regarding the opponent as an adversary but not an enemy. Etiquette is desired while Rules are required. A player may choose not to observe etiquette, without breaking any rules.
But etiquette, like manners, is particular to a community. Newcomers to the Scrabble tournament scene may not know what is considered etiquette, and may find it helpful (as may seasoned players) to read an explanation that has been generally agreed upon by that community.
If you have any query about a rule or etiquette in a situation that arises during a game, call the Tournament Director (TD)! You aren't expected to know everything about every possible situation. The TD can look up the relevant rule or point of etiquette and let you and your opponent know, or make a ruling if need be. It is undoubtedly preferable to clarify at the time than to regret after a game that you didn't.
Arrive at the assigned table punctually for the start of a game. Your late arrival is discourteous to your opponent, and could cause the tournament to run late.
Do not talk or rattle tiles during pre-game announcements.
It is not acceptable to use mobile phones (receiving or sending) in the playing area while any game is still in progress. (Permission to receive emergency calls may be obtained from the TD.)
It is expected that more experienced players will help newer players if they are unsure of procedures and rules, especially in relation to scoring, challenge and the use of clocks. For example, reminding a less experienced player who forgets to press the clock.
It is not acceptable during a game to ask your opponent if a word is allowable, (yours or theirs), or to ask what a word means.
Play your tiles the right way up, with the number at the bottom (e.g. N, I, O). Place tiles properly on the squares.
Respect the equipment. Do not mark tiles or boards with pen/pencil. It is advised not to bring cups or glasses to the playing tables.
Place the tile bag within comfortable reach of both players.
Keep any comments, unnecessary conversation or other noises to a minimum during a game, to reduce distractions not only to your opponent, but also to surrounding players.
Avoid saying aloud the word that you are playing so that your opponent cannot be misled or confused by a mispronunciation of the word played.
Avoid "stream of consciousness" talk about your decision-making.
Especially refrain from moaning or commenting during the game about your tiles or your luck; that can also be construed as a ruse that can mislead your opponent into making a play which advantages you.
You may warn your opponent not to draw tiles while you are considering whether to challenge (see Rules 6.1 and 10.1), but be aware that you are thus preventing your opponent from seeing their new tiles and legitimately thinking about their next move. Therefore, unless you have any doubt about a move, it is courteous to accept a move immediately, by writing the opponent's score.
The clock is neutralised during a challenge, or to resolve a score discrepancy (Rule 3.3), or when the TD is called. When the matter has been resolved, the person whose turn is over should restart the opponent's clock. That said, either player, of course, may restart the clock.
Whilst it is advisable to confirm cumulative scores at intervals during the game, it should not be over-frequent, because it can break the opponent's train of thought. This should be done on your own time (Rule 6.3).
Occasionally a player must leave the room mid-game for emergency reasons. The TD should be made aware that this is happening. If at all possible before leaving, the player should make his/her move, neutralise the clock, and not replace tiles. When the absent player returns, the opponent's clock is started.
It is not obligatory to announce the number of tiles left in the bag when you count or draw tiles, or to indicate to the opponent when the bag is empty. (It may be polite to do so, but the opponent shouldn't rely on it, in case you are mistaken.)
When a game is over you may want to discuss aspects of that game with your opponent or with others before you clear the board. However, after handing your result sheet in, your first concern should be for nearby players who are still playing. It is unacceptable to disrupt their game with your conversation.
At the end of each game, clear the table of debris, challenge slips, rubbish, own equipment, so that it is ready for the next users. Please also return any equipment that you have moved.
If observing a game, leave a comfortable distance around the players, stay absolutely silent, make absolutely no indication of your opinion of a player's rack or the board, and do not look up words. Call the TD if anyone is disturbing your game. The TD may modify or put a halt to observation if indicated. (Rule 12.4)
Refrain from wearing strong perfume or after-shave, as many people react adversely
All players are requested to maintain a reasonable level of personal hygiene to minimise mouth and body odours, and to maintain a clean, undistracting appearance.

You Have Eight Seconds Before This Message Self-Destructs18th Apr 2014
Here's a digital Mission: Impossible – you have only eight seconds to get your audience's attention. The reason, if you choose to accept it, is because our attention spans are shorter than a goldfish's (it can concentrate for nine seconds).
Research shows that only 28% of words are read on the average 593 word web page. Are our sub-goldfish attention levels driving this desire for brevity or is technology affecting our attention spans? If you've got an idea – your own or your goldfish's – let us know on email@example.com or LinkedIn.
So what are the best digital marketing tools to grab attention in eight seconds or less?
Twitter opens up an instantaneous conversation. It takes two seconds to interact with a huge audience in 140 characters. Make the headline compelling, add a great image and you'll get their attention.
Vine lets you get your message across in six seconds. Less than a quarter of brands use video to reach consumers, yet 76% of Internet users are expected to view videos online by 2015. Use a short video to tell a story and be memorable.
LinkedIn posts connect you with the right audience in three seconds. Taking a few seconds to share content helps to speak directly and quickly to your target market, ideal if you're looking to reach a B2B audience.
Images are processed 60,000 times faster in the brain than text. Use imagery to your advantage by deploying your message in interest-grabbing infographics, animations and gifs.
Rich content grabs your audience's attention. A great idea, briefly stated, is the ultimate goal for digital marketing today. If you're still reading, your mission is to share this content to avoid it self-destructing in three…two…one…
Five ways to get (social media) lucky on St Patrick's Day16th Mar 2014
How's your social media strategy? Unless you have the luck of the Irish, getting it right can be as hit or miss as finding that winning lottery ticket or backing the winner at the races.
This St Patrick's Day we'd like to help you get lucky with your social media by giving you five quick and simple tips to engage with your audience. Tell us what you think on LinkedIn – we'd like to know if our tips help you get lucky.
1.Be social – Ok, we know that St Patrick's Day is a great excuse for those of us who aren't Irish to enjoy a Guinness or two, but it's also a good excuse to be social with your audience. What could you send your customers or prospects on this day that would help bring a little luck to their business or support their common challenges?
2.Be timely – with national days such as St Patrick's Day and public holidays such as Easter, it's important to be timely with your content. The best way to support this is to have a plan or a content calendar that marks out key events happening either industry wide or across the UK. Make sure your content is already ready to go – it will make your customers feel that you are always on trend no matter what is happening. Take a look at these companies that embraced the London tube strikes.
3.Be interesting – we're bombarded by content on a regular basis, whether it's a text message, email, phone call, Skype or WhatsApp. So, the best way to cut through the noise is to be interesting and creative. Story-telling and visuals are a really powerful way of not just cutting through the noise but remaining memorable thereafter.
4.Be visual – we say this a lot but it's proven that we process images 90 times faster than words. Also, we don't really read online anymore (just 40% of us read pages with more than 111 words) So, to get your message across, keep it short and keep it visual – it'll be easy for us to see it in a crowd.
5.Get lucky – It's about understanding what is resonating with your audience and for that you need to be using social media tools. One of our favourites is Sprout Social media, where you can sign up to a 30 day free trial, to find out what interests your audience and feed that content back to them – this way marketing will finally become a services rather than a sell!
We hope that helps you stay lucky this St Patrick's Day. Tell us what other content you'd like from us next month and we'll get writing!
5 tools in my social media toolbox01st Oct 2013
Sofarbeyond asked Jennifer Reid – a long time London-based former Vancouverite who specialises in content marketing and social media strategy, what is in her social media toolbox.
#1 in my social tookit: Buffer
Buffer, coined "the smarter way to share on social media" is an online tool that allows you to populate a stream with content that Buffer shares across your social networks at specified times throughout the day (or night).
Why I like it: Because Buffer toolbar enables me to easily share content from different social media platforms and to have it be released according to schedules that I dictate. This way I am seen to be sharing a steady stream of content that gets picked up in more than one time zone. I *especially* love the fact that I can share to Twitter, my LinkedIn newsfeed, LinkedIn Company pages, Google+ pages and Facebook. Buffer saves me a lot of time.
#2 in my social tookit: Bitly
I started using Bitly in 2010 for the sole purpose of shortening long links when tweeting to stay within Twitter's 140 character limit.
Why I like it: The shortened links, called "Bitmarks" are listed on my Bitly homepage. Like Buffer, Bitly will tell me how many people clicked on the link I shared. But I can also see which sites I'm getting a high click through rate from, and which countries my clicks are originating from. I can also group common Bitmarks and then share them as bundles or email the bundles to people. For example, I could bundle up all the Bitmarks from previously shared blog posts and then send one tweet that points to the whole bundle on my Bitly homepage. Or I could simply email someone the bundle.
#3 in my social toolkit: Storify
Why I like it: I attend a lot of industry events where people are using various social media to comment. Storify enables me to pull together these threads to tell a story and it's quicker than writing a blog post. Usually my stories consist of tweets from various people. But often the more formal LinkedIn event posts are a great way to begin stories, and if someone takes a video and shares it then you've *really* struck gold.
#4 in my social toolkit: StumbleUpon
StumbleUpon is a discovery engine that finds and recommends web content to its users.
Why I like it: Tools like Buffer, Bitly and Storify are distribution and tracking time savers and help stick to my main focus, which is generating content. In the world of social media, you have to stay on top of what's new and to do that, I find StumbleUpon invaluable. I get weekly customised reading recommendations from the Web.
#5 in my social toolkit: Pocket
Pocket is a way of gathering content from the Web so that I can read it later.
Why I like it: I'd never get my day job done if I just read all my StumbleUpon recommendations, never mind if I followed the vast volume of interesting links I see on social media platforms! Pocket allows me to bookmark everything so that when I am on the train home, I can access all my saved articles from in a beautifully laid out web page.

The final stage of making the twenty five vellum bound works is now in progress. The approach that I am taking is very open-ended. Images are repeated and retranslated using a range of materials and processes. The work is very time consuming and labour-intensive. The end results engage light and surface in different ways. Images are drawn in response to what already exists in, and on, the pages – that is to say, what I had already drawn, embossed, watermarked or gilded onto the pages before the works were bound.
Each work operates individually. However I am also approaching the process as though each is a composite part of the group as a whole – a large complex drawing so to speak. Themes and images are repeated and revisited by pricking the surface of the paper and dusting powdered tarnished silver and palladium through the pinpricks. Five themes are being explored: journal, journey, refuge, relic, site. Reference material includes documentation of the journey to the site and of the site itself where the Nova Zembla prints were discovered – video stills of the icepack, 17th century etchings and photographic documentation from 20th scientific expeditions.
Below are examples of the works in progress:

A whiteboard video is a network of interconnected drawings.
Whiteboard videos are somewhat like uniform explainer video production. It is a process whereby a story having pictures gets drawn on something that looks like a whiteboard or on the whiteboard itself. The animation process uses the real effect of time lapse. Nowadays as the technology is developing the process of production does not require actual drawings and can easily be handled with whiteboard videos and animation software. Most of the marketers used this video style momentarily.
There are a few reasons why the whiteboard videos are gaining popularity among marketers, authors, and business owners: Whiteboard videos and animations are very pinpointed as the only mode of expression they possess is a whiteboard and marker to create whiteboard videos and therefore, the message comes unscattered.
Secondly, these Whiteboard videos are cheaper to produce, video production price playing a significant role with companies on a tight budget. For voiceovers, you need microphone, software and you're done. If your company wants to blend into an animation that will not cost a gold mine but still can be an effective marketing tool, this style no doubt will be the best choice. Moreover, this video style is universal. From history lessons to bank commercials, one can use this style for just about anything.
Here in this article, you will get familiar with the step by step process of creating a great whiteboard animated video.
Join us to have an idea!
1. Whiteboard Videos Script- Make it entirely proficient.
People ambush themselves into the visuals not focusing much on the script. The script is the basis of an animated video and the message you want to transmit, so it becomes necessary to have a compelling one.
Have three things in mind while you start writing a script:
The Hook
The hook is a thing to catch people's attention since it takes only a couple of seconds for them choose if they want to watch the rest of the video. So make your viewers interest by adding some component of inquisitiveness.
The Primary Message
Here comes the core/main message of your video. Be assured of having an intelligibly organized primary message to keep your viewers active since this is the part where your video will be assessed.
The Call-to-Action
The basic purpose of any video is to make the audience act, the point where CTA comes into play. You cannot derive any business point out of your video without a CTA, make sure not to force it to the people, keep it natural, make it humorous. Be relaxed and confidential!
2. Storyboard the Script
Storyboard as we already know is a graphic organizer in the form of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive media sequence. In this step, you follow the script that you created in the preliminary step to draw out the visual aspects of the video (think of yourself as a graphic structurer of your storyboard).
Storyboard is like a comic piece, the motive behind making one is to get an idea on how to structure the script scene by scene. Everything on the whiteboard videos must be connected to the drawings should be made in perfect proportions and must be perfectly placed at the perfect angle. The whole video is a huge work of art on the whiteboard. Try not to make it superficial or long as in a particular way it appears to be dodged by the companies.
3. Voice over your story
Voice over and Music is immensely important for the video to go blooming as whiteboard videos and animations are bounded regarding expressions than regular live or 2D/3D animated videos. As soon as the scripting part is finished Voiceovers should be recorded since they mark the actual time for animation stage.
Do think about purchasing professional hardware like a studio-grade Microphone (you can use a snowball mic from blue microphones) because a sluggish sound can entirely blunder your video making it look like an amateur and mucked up one and hence reduce your viewer's interest. You can rehearse on and on before the actual recording takes place. Try not to use words which are hard to give voice to since may become difficult for the viewers to understand.
4. Animate your Whiteboard Videos
There is a never-ending list of options available on which software to be used for producing the whiteboard Videos animation. If you have just started creating one you can use or go with something like Animaker Whiteboard 2.0 or Animation. There are several options available in the drop-down menu for choosing out different whiteboard video styles from the available themes.
Make your whiteboard videos jawdropping using strong visual cues (adding characters) for bracing up the script since the whole point of making it is to ease the narration.
Here your skills for the animation come into play. The effects on timing should be controlled in such a manner that it makes one think of the actual plot of a person drawing on the board.
Nothing to worry though- after all it's not rocket science.
Drag and Drop Visuals
You have to acquire a lot of your audience curiosity using images, the content being the substantiate unit. Add wording after the drawing sequence is over. Make sure that you do not animate both the text part and image together as it may indulge for more than one hand to appear on the screen thereby irritating the audience.
Enter and exit effects for screen
The whiteboard videos and animation depends on how the things or visuals enters the screen display. You can add on different effects like for exit if you rub the board, all the elements fade away.
Adjustment of timing for each scene
Managing the speed of drawings and wording is also a vital component of animation. Notice if your eye captures the drawings and wordings properly. If not there is a need to change the timing.
Adding transition effects
Transition effects can give visual interest to the whiteboard by introducing an element of motion to the graphics. The effects can make your video look more professional.
Once everything is done preview your video to check there is no timing error, to see whether your message is delivered and if some changes are required. Finish it and do not forget to share your whiteboard video to let show people your amazing animation!
Final Words
Creating whiteboard videos can be too much work if you are the only doing everything. Luckily, there are companies that can help you do it. You can break down whiteboard video creation in 3 parts, figuring out a topic, writing a script, and actually shooting the footage.
There are companies like Grey Matter India to whom you can outsource the topic finding and scriptwriting work.
Once these two tasks are done, only shooting the actual footage would be left which can be done by Grey Matter India as well.

The BJP on Friday came under attack from the JD(U), RJD and Congress following a report that the party had bought land worth crores in Bihar days before the demonetisation move was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The report in Catch News, a news website, claimed to have accessed deeds of at least 10 such property transactions allegedly done by BJP functionaries in Bihar for the party. The JD(U) and RJD asked the BJP to explain the "spurt" in land purchase and its sources of income through "donations".
The BJP said it had purchased the plots for opening district party offices and it was a coincidence that 13 of these plots were registered in the last four months.
Bihar BJP president Mangal Pandey told The Indian Express: "The fact that we have been purchasing land for party offices at district headquarters has already been in the public domain. Linking it to demonetisation looks preposterous. We have purchased plots for 23 districts… We have full records of the transactions. We made payments through drafts and RTGS."
He added that the party had purchased a plot in Barh last week — after the demonetisation — and would look for plots for 22 other district offices.
"Why is the BJP being singled out for land purchase? There were thousands of registries in Bihar in the last few months, some of which could have been made in the names of politicians from other parties," he said. BJP legislature party leader Sushil Kumar Modi said: "We paid stamp duty and filed I-T returns. Everything is in the public domain."
JD(U)'s K C Tyagi said: "There were reports on the West Bengal BJP depositing over Rs 2.5 crore just 24 hours before demonetisation, and similar reports are coming from its Rajasthan unit. Now if news of a land purchase spree comes from Bihar, the PM has a lot to explain or else we will press for a high-level probe."
Another JD(U) leader Neeraj Kumar added: "We have worked out that the BJP would need Rs 540 crore and Rs 1,374 crore to build its state and district offices. The party that declared its income as Rs 970 crore in 2015-16, saying half of it came from donations, should tell us how they are getting the money."
RJD's Manoj Kumar Jha said: "The evidence of huge land purchases by the BJP only exposes the charade of secrecy touted by it since November 8."
The Congress said that BJP and black money were inextricably linked. "Now it has been revealed that the BJP had, just before the (demonetisation) announcement, purchased properties worth crores in Bihar and other regions through cash and cheque. There is no other innovative way to convert black money into white," Congress's Randeep Surjewala said. (With ENS Delhi)

Dear Customer,
The Delegated Regulation Act N. 157/2014/UE has defined the different ways to make the Declarations of Performance (DoP), released by the manufacturer according to CPR 305/2011/UE, available.
MAPEI UK in aligning with the new rules and trying to increase the customer's and user's satisfaction, has introduced three main changes / innovations:
1. We no longer ask users to download a heavy zipped file to extract the DoP: now you just have to search the needed product on the web site and open the product sheet. The link for the DoP is close to the Technical Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet.
2. In addition to the current DoP, available in the languages of the European selling countries, all the previous versions can be viewed by clicking on "see archive"
To retrieve from the archive the DoP corresponding to the CE marking printed on the packaging of a specific period, the DoP to be downloaded is the one with the closest publication date to the one printed on the packaging.
3. DoP are available as PDF validated through an "electronic signature", therefore all the printed copies are fully and legally valid both in UK and in all the foreign countries which recognize such electronic signature.
- CE marking of the construction products is restricted to the ones that are covered by a harmonized standard. Very common construction products like joints for ceramic tiles, resilient or wood adhesives, cured concrete and so on, are not currently CE marked and, as a consequence of that, it is impossible to issue the relevant DoP .
We trust this new platform will make the downloading and the consultancy of the DoP easier and more reliable and will contribute to reduce waste of paper and natural resources.
In the event of a problem to download the DoP, please do not hesitate to contact us at the following email address:
For any other information, please contact as usual or our commercial agents.

SAN JOSE — An elderly woman was struck and killed early Saturday while walking on Interstate 280, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The woman, whose identity was not immediately released, was walking in the slow lane of northbound 280 near the Highway 101 split just before 6 a.m. when the cart she was pushing was hit by a 2004 Lincoln, the CHP said. The woman was then struck by a 2005 Nissan, causing the fatal injuries.
A CHP report said the Lincoln was inspected by the officers at the scene and released to the driver, but the Nissan had to be towed for further inspection.

How exactly does a book called 'Hot Pterodactyl Boyfriend' come about? A wacky dream? A dare? Alan Cumyn reveals his inspiration behind his outrageous new novel.
So, Libba Bray ('Going Bovine', 'Lair of Dreams') was standing in front of a hundred or so writers saying we shouldn't go slavishly following the trends in YA. But she didn't say it that way. She said, "Don't go writing your hot pterodactyl boyfriend novel."
Three times. In the space of an hour.
And fireflies took over my mind. How to explain this? Years before, while riding a train, a great blue heron – I'm a fiction writer, but I'm not making this up – zapped me with a gaze. I started scribbling down the beginnings of a story about an ancient bird able to turn human and wander into the big city, almost as a vacation. But the story stalled, and a couple of novel-length experiments didn't quite happen. (I know, I know. I can go years following weirdness.) Then, when I had more or less forgotten the idea – "Don't go writing your hot pterodactyl boyfriend novel."
Me: Hot pterodactyl boyfriend – where does that come from?
Libba: I don't know Alan, I just made it up.
Me: Well, I think I'm getting an idea. (Gulp)
Libba: You should go for it. You should write that novel.
What if the bird was a pterodactyl? What if the pterodactyl came to high school? What if everybody fell in love with him? What if, in a weird way, the pterodactyl actually lives inside all of us, like remnants of DNA we never discarded?
I had to write it out just to find out what would happen.

This dramatic picture shows how the landscapes of Northumberland can, in different lights, evoke intense feelings of awe and poignancy.
This is a midsummer sunset, but there is nothing of the chocolate box in this image, more a sense of anger mixed with despair as the failures of the day extinguish the bright hopes of the morning.
These lines by A E Housman convey similar feelings in words...
Ensanguining the skies
How heavily it dies
Into the west away;
Past sight and touch and sound
Not further to be found,
How hopeless under ground
Falls the remorseful day
(A E Housman)

1. Where is the course held? The Passcsa course is held in Philadelphia in a hospital located
in Center City. 2. How is your course going to be helpful in my preparation? The highlight of our course
is your chance to practice the test under examination conditions on subjects that are carefully trained and selected to simulate
a real patient. The consultation rooms, the timing and the atmosphere is very similar to the actual test. The aim of our course
is to optimize your performance on every part of the CSA test assessment. Since many candidates are failing the CSA on the
communication section, this part will be particularly helpful in assessing and improving communication skills. 3.
What is in your manual? The manual compliments the didactic sessions. The didactic sessions focus on history taking,
physical examination, clinical note and differential diagnosis. 4. Who teaches the course? The instructors
are experienced clinicians who are licensed practicing physicians in Philadelphia. Our instructors have considerable teaching
experience in clinical medicine. For example, one instructor has successfully passed the CSA; another has published review
books in clinical medicine. 5. Tell me more about the communication portion?
We have a didactic session from a certified communication specialist. We will also identify candidates
with special communication needs. These candidates will receive extra individual tuition in communication. We
believe that this is the best way to give you feedback on different aspects of the consultation. Most candidates find this
very helpful. 6. Do you arrange accommodation? At this stage we do not arrange accommodation but will
do so soon. 7. What is included in your fee? Our fee covers tuition, course manual, lunch and refreshments.
Our fee is the most competitive on the market. 8. Why do you include discussion on getting into residency? This
is your ultimate goal. It is never too early to start thinking about this. 9. How do I register? You can
register provisionally be e-mail. Your place will be confirmed once your course fee is received. 10. Why do you
ask for the fee in advance? As you can appreciate, the course needs a lot of planning every time. This includes arranging
the correct number of SPs, examination rooms, food etc. In addition, we keep the groups small, so we do turn people away.
11. Do you offer individual tuition? No, we do not. However, being part of a small group as you will be
in the passcsa course offers may advantages. You will learn from the experience, comments and discussions of other candidates.
It is also helpful to meet other candidates and perhaps to make new friends who have similar professional goals. Therefore,
we believe that small group teaching is far superior to individual tuition. 12. When is the best time to take
the course? A few weeks before the test is the optimal time so that you can work on any "weak" points that we may
highlight during the course. However, this is not possible for most candidates. Taking the course a few days before the test
will also be very, very helpful and will optimize your performance on every aspect of the CSA.

Seventriangle Branding
Nothing's more fun than working on your own stuff. When creating my own branding I wanted to build a series of illustrations that captured a moment of suspense. These places in time are where we anticipate what's to happen next and start to evoke emotion.
There are many more ideas I'd like to add to this series, but personal work always comes last. But for now here are some of my favorites so far. The porta potties being my favorite, because it's always a moment of anticipation, suspense and emotion (mostly fear).

Ulster-born Everton hero's FA Cup medal sells for £8k
A winner's medal presented to a Northern Ireland footballer after he starred in the 1933 FA Cup final at Wembley has sold for £8,000 at auction.
The 14-carat gold medal belonged to Coleraine-born defender Billy Cook, who played right back for Everton when they beat Manchester City 3-0 in front of 120,950 people at the London venue on April 29 of that year.
Cook later returned home, and during the 1954-55 season managed Portadown.
Before the sale last week at Graham Budd Auctions in London, Cook's medal had been expected to fetch between £8,000 and £10,000.
The medal previously sold for £6,900 when it was auctioned at Christie's in Glasgow on December 10, 1998.
Cook was born in Coleraine on November 20, 1909, to Co Donegal-born carter James Cook and his wife, Co Derry-born Hannah.
He started his football career with Port Glasgow Athletic Juniors before joining Scottish giants Celtic on February 13, 1930, just 12 weeks after his 20th birthday.
He helped Celtic win the Scottish Cup in 1931, and won his first Irish cap against Scotland at Windsor Park on September 17, 1932.
He made 100 Scottish League appearances for the Bhoys before being sold to the Toffees on December 30, 1932 for £3,000.
While it might not sound a lot now, in 1932 it was possible to buy five decent houses for less than £3,000, with the average English house price then £540.
It was in his first season with Everton that he helped the club to glory at Wembley.
And in the 1938-39 season Cook helped the Goodison Park side win the league title.
After the Second World War he began his managerial career with non-league Rhyl in Wales.
In 1947 he became coach at Norwegian club SK Brann.
He later managed the Peru national team.
And following his brief spell at Shamrock Park, he became the manager of the Iraq national team.
Cook was 83 when he died in Liverpool on December 11, 1992.
One of his team-mates in the 1933 FA Cup final was the legendary Dixie Dean, whose 60 league goals for Everton in the 1927-28 season remains a record that in all likelihood will never be beaten.

Praising my horse for his good efforts
As my faithful readers will know by now, we'll be moving in late July. Joli, my handsome Portugese horse, will go ahead of hus and transfer to his new boarding place next Saturday
So today was the perfect occasion for have our last coaching session until later this summer. I've been off all week and have ridden on most days, so it was time for a little fine tuning with our instructor, Nicolas
My hobbyist photographer friend Claude was here also, to document the event
All the work we've done for the past 10 months is really starting to come together and yield good progress, which is really encouraging
By that I mean a calm, willing and engaged horse, trying to please and seeking the proper attitude
And yes, the spin is coming along a little better, too. Still a couple of millions repetitions away from proper form, but he's accepting it more and trying harder
This for instance, is defninitely a new level of effort that he didn't give before
still chaotic, but Rome wasn't built in a day, right ?
I'm happy with his tries, anyway
Don't tell as it's a secret, but one's horse's back is one of the best place to be 😉

Year 2013 was a very busy year for the Scala reflection/macro team. We've experimented with several new macro flavors, significantly improved the experimental reflection API, expanded the docs, and fixed a huge number of bugs submitted to JIRA. In 2014 we'll be working towards making macros non-experimental - cleaning up the API, improving tool integration and addressing long-standing issues. Below you can find a brief summary of our work and plans for the future, and the full list of changes can be found in the official changelog.
What are macros good for?
We've given a number of talks about macros, of which we would like to highlight "What Are Macros Good For?" as a great introduction to Scala macros. The talk outlines what Scala macros are, and in what capacity the notion of compile-time metaprogramming can be useful, on a series of concrete use cases from research and industry. The talk shows how Slick, Play, Shapeless, Akka, Pickling, Async, Specs, and others use macros and highlights key aspects of associated techniques. In May, we plan to follow up with a workshop at flatMap that will elaborate on implementation details of typical macros.
The biggest thing that happened to macros last year is undoubtedly quasiquotes. First prototyped and rejected in 2011, quasiquotes made a glorious comeback in 2013 thanks to the efforts of Denys Shabalin. Having proven to be incredibly useful for working with abstract syntax trees in macros and beyond, quasiquotes were included in Scala 2.11.0-M4 and are going to be shipped with the upcoming Scala 2.11.0 release. For Scala 2.10.x, quasiquotes are available in the macro paradise plugin. Denys has thrown together an epic quasiquote guide that explains everything that you need to know in order to effectively work with abstract syntax trees in your macros. In June, Denys is going to present at ScalaDays, outlining inner workings of quasiquotes and showing how quasiquotes simplify integration of external languages.
Reshaping the reflection API
The 2.11.0-RC1 release of Scala is going to include a major rehash of the reflection API that introduces a number of much needed day-to-day functionality (such as Type.typeArgs, symbolOf[T] or Symbol.isConstructor) and provides first-class support for complex macros. We're by far not done with shaping the reflection API, but the changes in Scala 2.11.0 are going to provide the foundation for the refactoring to come in the future (read more about that below in the "Future work" section). The full list of changes and recommendations on source compatibility with Scala 2.10 are provided in the changelog.
Thread safety of runtime reflection
The most pressing problem in reflection for Scala 2.10.x was its thread unsafety. Attempts to use runtime reflection (e.g. type tags) from multiple threads resulted in weird crashes documented above. We believe to have fixed this problem in Scala 2.11.0-RC1 by introducing a number of locks in critical places of our implementation. On the one hand, the strategy we are using at the moment is sub-optimal in the sense that certain frequently used operations (such as Symbol.typeSignature or TypeSymbol.typeParams) are hidden behind a global lock, but we plan to optimize that in the future. On the other hand, most of the typical APIs (e.g. Type.members or Type.<:<) either use thread-local state or don't require synchronization at all, so it's definitely worth a try.
Macro annotations
Last year, we've made several attempts at making macros capable of introducing publicly visible definitions. Our first stab at it was type macros, which made public appearance as part of the first version of macro paradise. Due to reasons outlined elsewhere, type macros were rejected for inclusion into Scala, and we shifted our attention to macro annotations, first implemented in August in the second version of macro paradise. The jury's still out on whether macro annotations are going to be included in some future version of Scala, but they are definitely not going to happen in Scala 2.11. Nevertheless, you can still get macro annotations with the macro paradise plugin, working for both Scala 2.10.x and Scala 2.11.0. In April, Travis Brown and Eugene Burmako are going to give a talk at Scalar that will elaborate on how macro annotations can be used to emulate type providers and how one can work around the absense of macro annotations in the official distribution using a clever trick.
Fundep materialization
Since Scala 2.10.2, implicit whitebox macros can be used to materialize instances of type classes, however such materialized instances can't guide type inference. In Scala 2.11.0, materializers can also affect type inference, helping scalac to infer type arguments for enclosing method applications, something that's used with great success in Shapeless. Follow Eugene Burmako's talk at a BASE meetup to learn more about this interesting technique.
Blackbox and whitebox macros
In Scala 2.11.0-RC1, macro defs are split into blackbox macros and whitebox macros, distinguished by the type of Context used in their macro implementations. Blackbox macros are currently better supported in IDEs and are more likely to be included into Scala in non-experimental capacity, whereas whitebox macros are more powerful. This is the current state of things however, and it can change in the future as we're planning to improve tool support of whitebox macros. You can read more about the differences between blackbox and whitebox macros in our documentation.
Future work
At this point it is clear that reflection and macros are useful. However there's still quite some work to be done in order to make them non-experimental. The main issues that remain to be addressed are verbosity and complexity of the underlying API, difficulties with tool integration, and potential for confusion caused by leaking compiler internals and cryptic error messages. This is something that we've been working on in Project Palladium, which aims at becoming the new foundation for metaprogramming in Scala, keeping existing functionality in place and at the same time fixing fundamental problems intrinsic to the original implementation. At ScalaDays, Eugene Burmako will present our results, showing how easy it is to metaprogram with Palladium, and outlining the place of our developments in the future of Scala.

This year: Sunday, March 31, 2019
For the French, Easter is not just a religious feast. They believe that it is not obligatory observing all Christian rites to be able to participate in this event. The French congratulate their relatives, friends and acquaintances. And even if it comes with The Easter occasion, what they actually mean is something different - they wish all the best and kindest. It is as if they said: "Life is so beautiful! And soon it will be spring!"
The week before Easter is called the Passion Week. Its every day is important for religious people. The week begins with Palm Sunday, the day when Christ entered Jerusalem. People around the world go to churches for the blessing of palm leaves. As you know, palms do not grow in France, and so willow-branches are used for blessing. On Good Friday Christ was crucified. It is very important to attend the Mourning Mass on this day, as it is considered to be the most important in the whole year.
The egg is symbolic for Easter Day, and being a symbol of life, it dates back to pagan rites of spring. It symbolizes life and Resurrection in Christian tradition. People believed that eggs laid on Easter had the strongest protective powers. This is why they collected them and used for very special occasions.
Today, like in many other European countries, Easter Rabbit has become a very popular symbol of the holiday in France. It is exactly this Rabbit that brings colored eggs. To understand the origins of this tradition we need to refer to ancient pagan rites. The legend says that Astra - a pagan Goddess of spring - turned a bird into a rabbit, but still he went on laying eggs. The second explanation of this phenomenon is much simpler. Once on Easter morning, when children went to the chicken coop to collect eggs, they saw rabbits in the grass and thought that it was them who had brought the eggs inside.
All French shops start selling chocolate eggs, hens, roosters and rabbits a month before the holiday. Early on Easter morning, parents hide chocolate eggs in the garden and when children get up, they find them under the bushes, in flower-beds, in the grass, etc.

A Six Month Investment for Eternity
Someone has estimated that in an average lifetime, we spend about 26 years sleeping. We spend 17 years eating. We spend 18 years talking. We spend 12 years in recreational activities and 12 years working, but we only spend about 6 months with God.
Why was the Bible written?
Jn 20:31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
The Bible was written to know Jesus was the savior and that each person could have eternal life.
Most people spend more time researching the value of their used car than they do researching the value of their soul.
