A New Chapter
I'm excited to share that I am starting as the new director at Austin Center for Design. Jon Kolko, the founder of the school, will be transitioning into an advisor role and remains as core faculty. I know many people will wonder what this means for the school, so I hope to take a moment today to share some thoughts.
I was part of the AC4D's inaugural class of ten students back in 2010. I was drawn to the school's immersive approach, entrepreneurial spirit, and its opinionated focus on working on problems that matter. The inaugural class acted as co-founders of the school. We shaped the curriculum for future years, and charted new territories with the career paths we each took on after the program.
My own personal journey since graduation involved building two startups from the ground up. I co-founded HourSchool, an education platform where anyone can take or teach a class, inspired from the research we did with the homeless population during AC4D. It was bootstrapped and scrappy. I learned to code, grow a team and market with very little budget. A few years later, I moved on to join Aunt Bertha, a search and referral platform for social services. I helped grow that company from 4 people to 40 people through 2 rounds of funding, built and led multiple departments, and our product has touched the lives of over 300,000 people to date. As I began teaching at AC4D in the last couple of years, I had to reflect on my own experiences in order to share the lessons learned with my students. Those experiences – taking something to scale, relentlessly iterating and executing, while convincing others to join my mission – are also what I hope to bring to my new role at AC4D.
Jon and many faculty members have built an incredibly strong foundation: an education pedagogy that embraces empathy, prototyping, and abductive logic; that stands upon a foundation of solving problems worth solving. The program features small class sizes, affordability, and access to world-class working design practitioners. The faculty instills in our students a culture of rigor and constant iterations. Their success is reflected in the AC4D alumni's career paths, happiness, and salary. As I take over the director position, the lofty vision that the school was founded on remains unchanged: to transform society through design and design education. My job is to build upon the foundation Jon and others have created.
I have spent many hours chatting with alumni and faculty as they reflected on their experiences. I have also talked to people in the industry to understand what they are demanding from new designers. With these findings and together with AC4D's theory of change, I believe the following are the biggest opportunities to extend the impact of our school:
1) Design Jobs in the Public Sector: When the school first started, design jobs in the public sector were rare, at least in the United States. Designers who want to work on social issues had to venture out on their own, or resorted to working for Fortune 500 to make a living. We had supply, but not a lot of demand. In recent years though, more and more progressive organizations have been joining forces and started to invest heavily in the role of design when considering how they deliver services to their constituents. AC4D is in a great position to work directly with governments and foundations to tackle the challenges they face, through our students' studio projects, fellowship placements after graduation, and other consultative engagements to support capacity-building initiatives within these institutions. This will ultimately lead to more design job opportunities in the public sector. My vision is to see design positions proliferate through every department of our government and a Chief Design Officer at every institution that is working towards the public good.
2) Support our Social Entrepreneurs: A focus on social entrepreneurship has always been with us from the start. When our students graduate and decide to venture out on their own, like most entrepreneurs, they have to be scrappy and lean. Anyone who has started their own business before would know that the runway doesn't last forever and often times, it's a race against time. AC4D will continue to build partnerships that help our students take their ideas further, faster: working with coding academies to get concepts off the ground, piloting minimal viable products with schools and clinics, or collaborating with data scientists and policy makers to inform go-to-market strategies.
3) Growth and Sustainability: This transition also marks a good time to evaluate our internal operations. Creating a diverse funding strategy, building a team of staff, and providing more formal support for students, such as financial aid, are all natural progressions as the school heads into the new decade. This is also important to ensure that our education remains affordable and accessible, for people from all walks of life who aspire to use the power of design to address the wicked problems we face today.
People have asked what my motivation is to taking on this role. My answer is a simple one: AC4D changed my life, and I have witnessed it changed many others who went through the program. I'm excited and honored to be part of the journey of our future students. Here's to a new chapter and all the new possibilities it will lead us.

Fall is here and we have been trying to get out and enjoy it as much as we can before mean old man winter comes :( My mom and I NEVER get to do anything together alone. We went to the covered bridge a couple years ago and have been waiting to go back, so this year we went up the night before, got a room, and had a GIRLS WEEKEND!!!
|A little room service for dinner
|Preshopping selfie
The Covered Bridge Festival is located in Parke County Indiana and takes place for a week, starting on the 2nd Friday in October every year. They have whole towns full of vendors selling any and everything you can think of and every fair type food imaginable (Im not going to lie, I basically go for the food)
|Funnel cake
|Taco salad (after I ate half of a not so great corndog)
|Me and my momma
|It was raining most of the day and pretty cold
The best part is the drive up. All of the leaves are turning and it is such a beautiful trip...
We stopped off at a picnic area for more food (this time we had a tenderloin, fried pickles, and curly fries lol) and we sat near this comforting sign...
They actually made us get up a move away lol
|This is her, Im nervous about the snakes and getting rained on look
That Friday my in-laws set up an awesome night out at their house for the kids. Papaw took them on a hayride, they had hot dogs on the bonfire, and got to spend some good quality time with all of their cousins. (The adults had a pretty good time too)
|Jude loves tractors
Sunday it was time to root on our Colts again. This time we left the kids at home and filled our backseats with kids of another kind...
|Me, my mother in law next me, and our gal Angie in the back
A few days later was my 30th birthday!! The hubs had to work, but my momma made me a delicious dinner and got me a cake. We went out to eat the next night as a fam and I threw myself a party later on (more on that later this post)
That weekend was Luke's cousins wedding, so we headed to Louisville for fun festivities with the family (It was another beautiful drive)...
This Friday was Halloween. Unfortunately daddy had to work again this year, but GG came trick or treating with us! Isabelle prepared by painting her "Elsa" pumpkin and got the nice surprise of loosing her first tooth on Halloween...
|Halloween jammies
|Doing a little shopping while sissy is at school
|My Hollywood Diva and Thomas the Train
|Isabelle and her bestie
Saturday was my birthday party! I have had several birthday parties at our family cabin over the years so I thought it was perfect for my 30th...
The remote location and the devastating realization that I am 30 made the Zombie Apocalypse the perfect theme...
With the busy weekend behind us, we have been taking it pretty easy around here...
Stay tuned for more fall fun to come!!

"VIDA!" – a festival of the senses
Nicole Nau and Luis Pereyra right now toured in France, at the Folies Bergère in Paris, whrer they have been amazing. More than ever, their new program "Vida" is a tribute to the culture of their native country, Argentina. "Vida" portrays tango in all its melancholy, elegance and eroticism – but also takes the audience into rural Argentina, where the vidala, zamba and chacarera are danced, where gauchos compete at tap dancing and boleadoras swirl. A dazzling display of virtuoso dance and thrilling live music – a festival of the senses.
"Argentina is more than Tango" – say, of all people, two of the best and most renowned tango dancers in the world, Nicole Nau and Luis Pereyra, who see themselves as empathetic cultural ambassadors of Argentina. They do not bring a show to the stage, but rather a piece of Argentinean life – in which tango has a starring role, of course. Following the successful 2013 tour with 100,000 delighted spectators in Europe and America and nightly standing ovations, they are back on tour through Europe.
With "Vida" (Spanish for "Life"), Nicole Nau and Luis Pereyra are once again celebrating a festival of the senses with the dancers and musicians in their company. They dance the pain, hope, joy and power of their people. They dance the moment, they live in the moment – again and again, brimming with intensity, passion and vitality. "Vida" is a tribute to the culture of their homeland, Argentina: to tango in all its melancholia, its elegance and eroticism – but also its primal power, its playful lightness and joy that are too often masked by clichés. But "Vida" also takes the audience to rural Argentina, where the vidala, the zamba and the chacarera are danced. The powerful beat of the large bombo drums, the rapid Argentinean tap dance in which the gauchos compete and the breakneck whirling of the boleadoras are pure rhythm, bursting with energy. Music, song and dance are brought together in celebration: of the culture of their country, of life itself.
- Nicole Nau and Luis Pereyra were awarded the Argentinean State Prize for Culture in 2012 and 2016 for their authentic representation of Argentinean culture.
- In 2014, the Nicole Nau & Luis Pereyra Company was elected a member of CID UNESCO.
- In 2001, Luis Pereyra received a Tony Award.
- Nicole Nau appears on two stamps issued by the Argentinean postal service.
- Nicole is an author and has published three books on tango.
- Luis Pereyra gave a lesson to Lady Diana and Prince Charles in Buckingham Palace and danced for Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Marty Cosens in the US.
- Nicole Nau danced for Boris Jelzin in Russia.
- Marcello Mastroianni and Omar Sharif complimented her performance.
- President Menem named her the best tango dancer in Argentina.

Related Articles : 27 Nakshatras in Jyotish
Moola is taken as the nineteenth nakshatra among the 27 nakshatras which are considered important in Indian astrology for making calculations from horoscopes based on Vedic astrology. The literal translation for the word Moola is The Root and as we know that the root is the most important and the innermost part of every existing being, accordingly many Vedic astrologers associate this nakshatra with being rooted, straight forward and having a tendency to look for the root of every matter. Vedic astrology assigns a Tied Bunch of Roots as the main symbol of this nakshatra and this tied bunch of roots again conveys various meanings according to different Vedic astrologers. According to many Vedic astrologers, Moola is always concerned about getting to the root of everything which means that Moola natives are very curious to know about the deepest core element of everything and they want to understand everything right from its core which makes Moola natives very good analysts. Many Vedic astrologers believe that the natives under the strong influence of this nakshatra are very straight forward in their approach and they do not like to talk about the things which they don't consider important and they rather get to the point straight away without bothering for any formalities and due to this characteristic of Moola natives, they can be perceived as harsh, rude and outspoken by other people but Moola natives do not care about what other people think about them and they keep on doing whatever they like.
Some Vedic astrologers are of the view that natives under the strong influence of Moola nakshatra are themselves very deep rooted and it is very difficult for the other people to judge them as they are very good at hiding their true emotions and feelings. It should be noted here that in most of the cases, the root of a thing is the most hidden part like in case of plants and trees, the root is hidden beneath the earth whereas the rest of the body is visible. Therefore some Vedic astrologers believe that the natives under the strong influence of this nakshatra are masters of disguise and they are very good at hiding their true emotions and feelings which makes it difficult for the other people to judge them. A different group of Vedic astrologers believes that since the roots are the strongest and innermost part of anything, therefore the natives under the strong influence of Moola nakshatra are capable of achieving strength and power in their lives where the limit of this strength and power can vary for different natives depending upon the overall tone of their horoscopes. Another group of Vedic astrologers associates this nakshatra with the hidden and occult realms. According to these Vedic astrologers, the root of anything is always hidden and is covered in mystery and accordingly the natives under the strong influence of Moola nakshatra have a tendency to connect to the hidden, mysterious and occult side of the nature and accordingly many Moola natives are likely to gain success and power with the help of some hidden knowledge or some help from the occult and some Moola natives can be seen practicing in these hidden and occult sciences as a lifetime job.
Some Vedic astrologers believe that the tied bunch of roots used as a the main symbol of this nakshatra conveys some kind of limitation or restriction associated with the success or power gained by the natives under the strong influence of this nakshatra as the concept of tying something conveys a sense of restriction and limitation whereas some other Vedic astrologers believe that the symbol of tied bunch of roots indicates that Moola natives are deeply rooted and tied with their families and they are capable of reaching success and strength by virtue of tying up with other people or organizations. This belief of a group of Vedic astrologers has its root in the fact that a tied bunch of roots is always much stronger than a single root and accordingly Moola natives can also become much stronger and can gain more success when they tie up with their friends and associates. So it can be seen from the above discussion that although Moola is associated with many kinds of characteristics according to different groups of Vedic astrologers, but the fact that Moola has something to do with getting to the root of the matters, gaining strength and success, is common among most of these explanations and accordingly it can be said that the natives under the strong influence of this nakshatra are capable of reaching success and power in their lives and this success and power is likely to come and enhance with the help of their friends and allies and at the same time Moola natives are likely to get some support from the hidden or the occult.
Vedic astrology assigns Nritti as the ruling deity of this nakshatra. Nritti is considered as the goddess of destruction according to Vedic mythology as the word Nritti literally translates into Calamity or destruction on a large scale and accordingly many characteristics of Nritti are relayed through this nakshatra which makes Moola a nakshatra which is likely to use its power and strength for the purposes of destruction and therefore most of the Vedic astrologers consider this nakshatra as an unpleasant and destructive nakshatra due to the influence of Nritti on this nakshatra. But before reaching any conclusion about the final nature of this nakshatra, let's discuss the remaining influences of planets and signs on this nakshatra. Vedic astrology assigns Ketu as the ruling planet of this nakshatra and as Ketu is generally known as a planet related with past, mysteries, troubles and problems in Vedic astrology, many negative characteristics of Ketu are relayed through this nakshatra which makes it even more difficult to handle. Ketu is known as a fiery planet in Vedic astrology and it also known as the planet which can bring destruction on a large scale and a planet which can give good or bad results in a very short period of time and most of these qualities of Ketu are relayed through this nakshatra which makes Moola a very difficult energy to handle and the natives under the strong influence of this nakshatra can find it very hard to curb their destructive potentials and direct themselves towards something constructive and any such effort of Moola natives is supported by the fact that Moola is also under the influence of Jupiter which is known as a Just, Right, and Religious planet in Vedic astrology and which promotes friendship and prosperity and not destruction.
All four parts of this nakshatra fall in the sign of Sagittarius which is a sign ruled by Jupiter. Sagittarius is considered as a very lucky, good and prosperous sign in Vedic astrology and its ruler Jupiter is known as the greatest of all natural benefic planets in Indian astrology. Therefore the influence of Jupiter and Sagittarius brings hope and some balance to this nakshatra and accordingly natives under the influence of this nakshatra are capable of directing their power and strength in a positive way but the final resultant of the energy of this nakshatra will be decided in a horoscope only after analyzing the strength of Moola, Ketu, Sagittarius and Jupiter. For example, Moola is likely to work in a negative fashion in a horoscope where Moola is very strong in itself, Ketu is strong and working negatively, Jupiter is either weak or working negatively in the horoscope and same is the case with the sign Sagittarius whereas Moola has a tendency to balance itself and work in a positive way in a horoscope where Moola is itself not very strong, Ketu is working positively in the horoscope, Jupiter is strong and positive in the horoscope and same is the case with the sign Sagittarius. So it all depends upon the overall tone of the horoscope but it should be noted here that Moola has a tendency to work in a negative way and misuse its power in most of the horoscopes and it is very difficult to positively utilize the destructive energy of this nakshatra. For example, it is believed by some Vedic astrologers that Ravana, one of the mightiest kings this earth has ever seen, was born under the strong influence of Moola and he also had other supporting planets in his horoscope and accordingly he rose to become the mightiest king of his time and he gained control over the three words known as Prithvi, Swarg and Paataal lok by virtue of the powers gained through worship of Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva.
Ravana was also known as a very diplomatic king of his times and he possessed many other good qualities. But under the strong influence of Moola, he developed a tendency to practice his free will and indulge in the deeds which were not in tune with the universal will and accordingly he saw his downfall and complete destruction of his evil forces and allies when Lord Rama, known as the incarnation of Lord Narayana, one of the three Supreme Gods, waged war on him. So it can be said that Ravana rose to great power by virtue of the energy of Moola which is capable of blessing the native with great powers but then under the negative influence of the same energy he set himself on a path which led to the destruction of many innocent people first and then finally he witnessed his own destruction. It should also be noted here that much of Ravana's strength lied in his very strong relatives, friends and allies like Meghnaad, his very powerful son who conquered Indra and was known as Indrajeet later on, Kumbhkarna his younger brother who was again one of the most powerful Rakshasas of his time and many more relatives, friends and allies who were very powerful. The above discussion points towards the belief of some Vedic astrologers that the tied bunch of roots used as the symbol of this nakshatra indicates that the native under the strong influence of this nakshatra is capable of achieving great powers with the help of strong friends, relatives and allies which was obviously the case with Ravana. So to sum up the above discussion, it can be said that Moola can bless the native with great strength and power but at the same time it is likely to bring the downfall of the native due to misuse of those powers. So Moola is an energy which should be handled very carefully as it has a strong tendency to work in a negative way and make the native misuse his power which can bring his downfall.
The natives under the strong influence of this nakshatra are usually very focused on their goals and they keep on trying to achieve their goals until they have achieved them or they have completely exhausted themselves. Moola natives are neither troubled nor bothered by the hindrances that come in their way and they keep on trying to achieve their goals relentlessly. Moola is a very impulsive nakshatra due to strong influence of Ketu and Nritti on this nakshatra and it is very quick in taking actions which many times may be without proper consideration and accordingly the native may have to regret his actions later on. But Moola natives usually do not learn from their past mistakes and they keep on repeating the same impulsiveness and suffering losses again and again. Natives under the strong influence of this nakshatra are very good planners, manipulators and diplomats and they use these qualities to gain some position of power. Many Moola natives are very good at using and exploiting their friends, relatives and allies for their own benefit and they also have a strong tendency to cut off the ones who they think have become useless for them due to which Moola natives are termed as selfish ones by some Vedic astrologers. Moola natives can be very proud and adamant and due to these characteristics, they are termed as egoistic by people around them. Some Vedic astrologers strongly believe that the downfall of Moola natives starts in many cases due to their proud and adamant nature which leads them to pick troubles with many other people and which also leads them towards doing the bad deeds and which finally brings about their downfall. So natives under the strong influence of this nakshatra should always keep a check on their ego and adamancy in order to avoid setbacks and downfalls. To summarize, Moola is considered as a very difficult nakshatra in Vedic astrology and the strong influence of this nakshtara in a horoscope can be a cause of concern for the native.
Vedic astrology assigns various kinds of professional spheres to this nakshatra and accordingly the natives under the influence of this nakshatra can be seen practicing as Kings, Heads of the states or countries, dictators, administrators possessing great powers, powerful political leaders, powerful diplomats and powerful manipulators and many other kinds of people dealing in many other kinds of professional spheres which are directly related with a power and status, black magicians, psychics, tantrics, aghorees, exorcists, paranormal healers, spiritual people practicing hard and long penance, tarot card readers, people dealing in witchcraft, astrologers and other such people dealing in similar kinds of fields, historians, librarians, doctors and especially surgeons, dentists, lawyers, judges, magistrates, spies, scientists, analysts, police officers and many other kinds of people dealing in many other kinds of professional spheres. The natives under the strong influence of this nakshatra also have a strong tendency to become gangsters, criminals, arms dealers, murderers, professional killers, serial killers, militants and other people associated with militant organizations, criminal organizations which sell and use the weapons of mass destruction, powerful dictators who wage wars on other organizations or countries and cause destructions on large scales, drug dealers and particularly the ones dealing in very harmful drugs which can again cause deaths in large numbers and many other kinds of people dealing in many other kinds of professions. Some Vedic astrologers believe that the natives with the strong influence of this nakshatra have a strong tendency to indulge in criminal activities or immoral acts.
Looking at some other facts associated with this nakshatra which are considered important for making certain specific calculations like gun Milan based for the purpose of horoscope matching for marriage, Vedic astrology considers Moola as a Neutral nakshatra and many Vedic astrologers explain this gender classification of Moola on the basis of its association with Ketu which is considered as a Neutral planet in Indian astrology. Moola is considered as Harsh in Nature and active in functioning and both of these classifications can be easily understood by looking at the functioning of this nakshatra. Vedic astrology assigns the Varna of Shudra to this nakshatra and it is considered as Tamasic in Gun and both of these classifications are again in tune with the nature and functioning of this nakshatra. Moola is considered as Rakshas in Gan according to Vedic jyotish and this classification is again explained on the basis of the nature and functioning of this nakshatra. The element of air is assigned to this nakshatra.

I love this stuff. I came across the recipe from Carla Hall in Saveur and I cannot stop making it.
It stays good in the fridge for about three weeks, but it doesn't stand a chance in my house. I put this zippy emulsion on everything. Grilled/roasted/raw vegetables, fish, salad, with Greek yogurt (for a bright topping), avocado toast, or in pancake batter. It's too easy. Carla says you can blend the whole lemon, but lemon seeds are my nemesis so TAKE 'EM OUT. Really wash your lemon, if it's organic there's most likely a little dirt that can go; if it's not it's been sprayed with all kinds of weird s*** at the supermarket and THAT can definitely go. Cool water, damp sponge…only takes a minute.
1 whole lemon cut into 5-6 pieces, seeds removed, peels on
about 8oz, (or a coffee mug)of olive oil. I used Colavita for this because I'm infusing it. No need to break out the fancy stuff, this recipe is good enough as it is.
Blitz the living heck out of it. If you have a Vitamix, let it go for a minute straight on high. If you have a blender, stick blender, or food processor then 3-5 minutes should do ya. There shouldn't be any pieces or hunks of lemon peel flying around.
Refrigerate and use frequently, but I don't need to tell you that…

KUALA LUMPUR – Another tip in the hunt for Malaysian Airlines flight 370, but is it real?
New photos taken over the Indian ocean show pieces scattered, about 122 of them in all. It is still unclear if these belong to the missing plane.
"We have not linked any debris to MH370, speculation will go on and people will look to Malaysia. But I think history will judge us well," said Malaysian Acting Transportation Minister, Hishammuddin Hussein.
The Malaysian government concludes "all lives lost," leaving families and friends so outraged, they storm the streets protesting, demanding answers.
One protester said, "from the beginning, they just hide everything. And I don't think this kind of government, a liar and even a murderer, can solve anything."
Is this debris really from missing flight 370, or not? Either way, will this information bring closure for the families and friends? probably not.

SAN FRANCISCO — Revision3 is experimenting with offering more shows live as well as on-demand, the company's CEO Jim Louderback told us at the recent Beet.TV online video roundtable in San Francisco.
Earlier this year, the Web TV company began recording its gaming show "Co-Op" live so viewers can watch the show online as it happens on Revision3.com and Justin.TV, with the recorded version hitting the Web about six hours later.
Expect Revision3 to offer live online versions of more of its shows throughout the year because the programming strategy helps strengthen the relationship between the show, the hosts, and the core fans, Louderback said. About 5% of the "Co-Op" audience has been tuning in for the live version.

What do the immigration rules mean to employersVerifying identityDocumenting eligibility to workThe records you must keep
To hire smart (and legally), you need to look at more than just a person's skills and experience — you also need to verify that he or she is eligible to work in the United States.
Beginning in 1986, employers were enlisted as the first round of defense against illegal immigrants working in the U.S. In addition to job application forms and other standard employee new hire forms most companies require, the I-9 form was created. All employers were required to check job applicant's identities and work status before hiring.
Since then, the form, the I-9 regulations, the acceptable forms of ID and the penalties for not following the rules have all changed significantly. With today's steep fines and penalties, coupled with stepped-up enforcement of I-9 compliance, it's more essential than ever that employers understand exactly what's required of them when they hire new employees.
Within three days of hiring an employee, every employer must ensure that the employee has completed an employment verification form, commonly referred to as an I-9 Form. In addition, you must confirm the employee's identity and work eligibility by reviewing specific forms of documentation. They then have three days to apply for, and up to 90 days to present official proof of their identity and work status.
The initial list of acceptable identification forms has been whittled down to only a few, including passports, driver's licenses, work authorization forms and birth certificates. Some are acceptable on their own, while others require a secondary form of identification. A few additional types of identification such as school records are acceptable for prospective employees under the age of 18.
Once a prospective employee has provided one or more of the acceptable forms of identification or proof of application for one of them, it's the employer's responsibility to make sure the applicant completes the I9 form completely, correctly and accurately. The employer is also responsible for entering the type of ID reviewed, along with any unique numbers such as license number, student number or passport number. No photocopies are required, although the employer may chose to do so. Employers must also make sure they are using a new I-9 form and not an older, expired version.
Hiring immigrants, even those who are not U.S. citizens is not illegal. However, if the prospective employee is not a U.S. citizen, s/he must present documentation authorizing them to work in this country. It is the employer's responsibility to make sure the paperwork is current and valid for the type of work offered.
The I-9 form remains at the employer's work site. It does not need to be submitted to any government agency. Once signed, an electronic version may be retained to reduce paperwork storage needs. No photocopies of the ID's submitted are required.
While the forms may be stored in each employee's personnel file, it is generally recommended that I-9 forms be kept in a separate binder, folder or computer file. This makes retrieval easier should your business be audited for I-9 compliance, and it shields confidential employee records not connected with immigration issues from DHS inspectors.
Understanding and following any I-9 changes and the latest eligibility verification rules are more important than ever, especially due to the increased chance of an I-9 compliance audit by the Department of Homeland Security. For every I-9 Form that isn't complete or accurate, you could face up to $1,100 in penalties. Protect yourself from an I-9 compliance audit with the mandatory I-9 Form, clear I-9 form instructions and practical guidance on legal hiring practices.

A quick trip to the "Top End" provided a fantastic opportunity to photograph a different kind of rugged Australian landscape.
The pics of Edith Falls have been well received on Australia.com.
An aerial view of Kakadu showed the landscape as an ethereal world with the fires of the dry season smoking eriely below and winding rivers glinting in the sun.
Katherine Gorge provided some challenging lighting but the reflections added to the sense of grandure.
Although I wasn't particularly intereted in crocodiles we found that they are a huge part of tourism in the territory and I now know more about them than I could have ever imagined.

Quick edit: I am very aware of the resemblance between this character and Lars Umulaut of Guitar Hero. In fact, you could almost say that was the point...
Hey peeps, just finished this up a few days ago, so off to the blog it goes! This is quite silly, and I feel somewhat unusual for me. Strangely enough though, it came quite easily and without much struggle. This guy is supposed to represent the genre of "Black Metal", and I was checking out the costumes of bands like Immortal a lot. Immortal are pretty funny, unintentionally so. Kyler was my go-to guy for getting background info on this genre.

Heh, Immortal. I hope you saw the Call of the Wintermoon video whilst doing your research. Ridiculous. Puts me in a good mood every time.
This looks like how a blackmetal dude would appear in the World of Warcraft universe. Sweet codpiece. Though I would prefer a skull codpiece as in Mortiis' "Stargate" days:
He needs a bulge too. Or make him pull a Hoest/Taake. Heh.
As easy as it is to poke fun, many of my favorite albums come out of the genre.
Sorry to hear about the layoffs. I wish you luck.

Team red arrived in Manchester, the United Kingdom, on a mission to understand people's views on the possible Brexit and the upcoming referendum. Team red prepared a number of activities to pursue this aim, including conducting a mock referendum, workshops and interviews. Let's understand what BREXIT means in the first place before we discuss about youth views on it.
BREXIT is an abbreviation of "British exit" which refers to the possibility that Britain will withdraw from the European Union (EU). The referendum is expected to be carried out on June 23 and the big question is "Whether the British people want to leave or remain in the EU". The Yes and NO vote will determine and shape the future of Britain and the whole of the European Union. There was an important need for the red team to get youth voices towards the referendum.
On 29th April the team entered the Manchester University Students' Union and settled a platform for conducting a mock referendum on BREXIT, where students were able to vote. In the end, the majority of young people that voted were in favor of Britain remaining to be part of the EU. Only 2 votes were not going to vote at all and 1 vote was for the British to leave the EU. The mock referendum shows that young people are in general in favor of remaining part of the EU due to its benefits like free movement, exchange programs, jobs, culture, and diversity. They don't want Brexit to affect all these. However, we have to say that many students passed by the voting poll but did not want to vote, reflecting some political apathy.
The workshop was more intense and engaging in terms of Brexit awareness amongst the people that took part in it. Some ideas that came up during the session were that, for many people, the referendum does not come at the right time and that it is not done for the right reasons: it is rather a Labor Party agenda since 2013 by David Cameron to retain unity within the party. The United Kingdom has no need for a divisionism agenda right now; people need their government to focus on substantive issues to foster European Integration.
In general, the conclusions of the debate pointed out that Brexit lacks vision and coherency to what the European future should be. There is a lack of civic engagement from the first place. The government should have educated its people earlier on rather than now, when the agenda is dominated by the media. Eventually, it is made hard to convey the right information in the public sphere because media in the UK has become selective in what they report. Amongst lots of information laid out by the government, they choose one or two elements for headlines which pose a conflict or challenge to people.
In the end, Brexit referendum is not a democratic tool for engagement or integration. "If you don't know the answer, you are likely to support what you already know", said one Jury who was one of the participants.
Interviews, on the other hand, were conducted in Cardiff, Wales. However, they were not very successful in terms of getting youth views concerning Brexit. Many seem to take no interest in political affairs to the least extent of not understanding "What EU is".
Team red is very thankful for the warm hosting by Pablo Palazón from AEGEE-Manchester and all the people from this amazing antenna. All the work of Europe on Track 3 would not have been possible without them all!
Stay tuned for more information from Team Red, see you somewhere in Europe!

There are several ways to fight cellulite. Body wrapping is one of the most effective methods. This procedure can be performed at home, and the result is impressive: in a very short time cellulite will be reduced radically!
Body wrapping intensifies blood microcirculation, removes excess fluid from tissues and reduces body fat.
The most effective homemade body wraps
These procedures can not be performed during pregnancy or breast feeding. Also, body wrapping is not recommended for those who have blood vessels problems or skin diseases.
The duration depends on the composition and the sensitivity of each person – from 30 to 60 minutes.
Cleopatra's recipe
Due to its unique composition, honey regenerates the skin perfectly because it helps remove excess liquid. Milk smoothes, hydrates and nourishes the skin.
Mix a few tablespoons of honey and 2-3 tablespoons of warm milk. You should get a thick composition (like sour cream consistency). Using light massage movements, apply the mixture on the problem area and wrap it in food wrap.
Clay wraps
You can find different types of clay in pharmacies: blue, green, pink, black. The blue clay is the one with a pronounced anti-cellulite effect. It also activates the metabolic processes of the skin and has anti-inflammatory properties. You just have to dissolve it in warm water and apply it on problem areas.
Vinegar wraps
Dilute apple vinegar in water in a ratio of 1: 1. Apply the solution obtained to your skin. Then wrap the area in food wrap.
"Sweet Life" wraps
Melt 2 tablets of dark chocolate in a bain-marie. Apply the melted composition to your skin and wrap the area in food wrap. Chocolate tightens the skin and stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin. After performing regular chocolate wraps, lifting effect is guaranteed!
"Spicy" wraps
Mix ground ginger with olive oil and apply the mixture to your skin. You can use fresh ginger root (you just have to grate it). Due to ginger heating, excess fat will burn faster.
To accelerate fat burning, first clean your skin and then apply body wraps. Fat burning exercises will strengthen the muscles!
Do not forget to share these effective weight loss methods with your friends.

In a union representation election conducted this week by the National Labor Relations Board, employees at Con-way Freight's facility in Bakersfield, Calif., voted to reject representation by the Teamsters Union.
Con-way announced in a press release that the Bakersfield vote marks the fifth election defeat for the Teamsters, who have been attempting to organize employees at various Con-way Freight facilities for the past five months.
The Bakersfield vote follows previous Teamster defeats in elections at Con-way Freight facilities in Santa Fe Springs and San Fernando Valley, Calif., Manchester, N.H., and Harlingen, Texas. Earlier, the Teamsters withdrew a petition for a vote at Con-way Freight's facility in Irvine, Calif. Petitions often are withdrawn when a union believes it can't capture enough votes to win.
According to a press release, Con-way Freight currently does not have a contract with the Teamsters Union at any of its nearly 300 locations in the U.S.
Con-Way Freight is a major less-than-truckload freight transportation company, a subsidiary of Con-way Inc.

SMU at Texas Tech
Tommy Tuberville's debut at Texas Tech will feature plenty of offensive fireworks thanks to SMU's potent passing attack.
SMU offense vs. Texas Tech defense
• First-year defensive coordinator Jamie Willis has the tough task of trying to slow down June Jones' potent spread attack and talented QB Kyle Pardon, who doesn't have elite arm strength but whose touch and accuracy make him a perfect fit for this system. The true sophomore should be that much more comfortable and effective in his first full season as a starter. Making matters worse for Willis, CB LaRon Moore, who started every game last year, broke his leg during the spring and is not listed on the depth chart. On the other hand, Pardon won't have WR Emmanuel Sanders, who now plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers, to draw attention away from the rest of his receivers. He'll also be without WR Terrance Wilkerson, who is academically ineligible. Without them in the lineup the Red Raiders have enough depth at corner to at least slow down the Mustangs' passing attack.

I promised a review today, and by God, I'ma give you a review today.
I have no idea how I found it honestly. I think one of my regular comics (probably PvP) linked to it, and that's how I stumbled upon it.
Bug is a very interesting comic, written and drawn by Adam Huber. There is no story line to follow. There are no traditional main characters. There isn't a background, nor color, yet I find it refreshing. The humor can be dark at times, or slapstick. I think my favorite is when Adam takes on popular franchises, like James Bond or Batman.
I like Bug very much because it reminds me of brain crack. Brain crack is the idea (or ideas) that just stay in your head until you can get them down on paper or out of your mind. They're ideas that you don't necessarily want to say out loud, but once you put them down on paper, everything gets better and you can focus on other things.
I recommend Bug to everyone, but its mainly geared towards an older crowd I feel. Some of the humor maybe lost (entirely) on younger readers.

2.3 Size and tenure
Dexus has determined that the size of the Board should be small enough to be able to act quickly, but large enough to ensure a diverse range of views is provided on any issue.
At 30 June 2017, the Board comprised eight members including seven independent Non-Executive Directors and the Chief Executive Officer & Executive Director. The DXFM constitution allows for the appointment of up to 10 directors.
Details of directors as at 30 June 2017 are:

2.4 Board independence
Non-Executive Directors must be free of any business or other relationship that could interfere materially with the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement.
The Board has determined that each Non-Executive Director is independent as each Non-Executive Director:
- Is not a substantial Security holder of Dexus, nor otherwise associated with a substantial Security holder of Dexus
- Is not employed, nor within the last three years has been employed, in an executive capacity by Dexus
- Has not been, within the last three years, a principal or an employee of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to Dexus
- Has not been a material supplier or customer of Dexus, or otherwise associated with a material supplier or customer
- Has no material contractual relationship with Dexus (other than as a Non-Executive Director of Dexus)
Has not served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, interfere materially with the director's ability to act in the best interests of Dexus
- Is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, interfere with the director's ability to act in the best interests of Dexus Is free from family ties or cross-directorships that may compromise director independence
The Board regularly assesses the independence of its directors in light of interests disclosed to it and has determined that each Non-Executive Director has maintained independence throughout the year. The Chair is independent and not the same person as the Chief Executive Officer.
2.5 Induction programs for new Directors
The Induction Program for newly appointed directors is comprehensive and includes familiarisation with specific structures, policies and legal documents including (but not limited to):
- Outline of the Corporate and Committee structure
- Organisational charts providing details of business units
- Terms of Reference for the Board and Board Committees
- Minutes of the previous Board and Board Committee meetings
- A copy of the Constitution
- A copy of the Business Plan
- Dexus Compliance Management Framework
- Dexus Risk Management Framework
- Dexus Risk Appetite Statement
- Key Dexus policies including:
- Directors' Code of Conduct
- Securities Trading (including inside information) Policy
- Continuous Disclosure Policy
A newly appointed Non-Executive Director will meet with key members of management who will provide an overview of their areas of responsibility. Newly appointed Non-Executive Directors are encouraged to attend each of the Board Committee meetings to assist in understanding the Dexus business model and approach to corporate governance.
2.6 Meetings
The Board generally meets monthly between February and November, with additional meetings held throughout the year as required. A Board Calendar is developed and agreed at least 12 months ahead of the new calendar year. The calendar provides dates of Board and Board Committee meetings.
Board meetings are normally held at the registered office of Dexus, although some meetings may be held 'offsite' allowing directors to visit Dexus owned and managed properties. To maximise participation, video conferencing facilities are utilised as required.
Each standard Board meeting includes a Non-Executive Director only session, led by the Chair, followed by a session in which the Executive Director joins the meeting. The remaining members of the Group Management Committee including the Company Secretary then join the meeting.
Senior management is also available to provide clarification or answer questions directors may have either prior to the Board meeting or may be invited to attend and present at Board meetings.
Board and Board Committee papers are provided to directors electronically at least three business days prior to the relevant meeting.
Any Action Items identified by the directors are recorded in the minutes. The Company Secretary ensures that the Action Items are appropriately addressed and progress reported to the Board.
Agenda items for Board meetings are set by the Chair in conjunction with the Chief Executive Officer and Company Secretary and include (but are not limited to):
- Chief Executive Officer's report
- Company Secretary's report
- Minutes of Board Committee meetings
- Reports on asset acquisitions, divestments and developments
- Management presentations
- Other business where directors can raise any topical matters
Please refer to the Governance dashboard in this Governance Statement and the Active Governance Statement timeline on pages 18-19 of Dexus's 2017 Annual Report for some of the activities overseen and addressed by the Board during FY17.
Directors are required to attend all scheduled meetings unless prior approval is provided by the Chair. For the year to 30 June 2017, there was 100% attendance of Non-Executive Directors at all Board and Board Committee meetings (for which they are a member).
2.7 Access to training and information
Directors receive regular presentations by management and external advisers regarding sector, fund, and industry specific trends. Non-Executive Directors are encouraged to seek additional information from management as necessary.
Non-Executive Directors also attend property tours and are encouraged to pursue professional development opportunities at the Group's expense.
Should a Non-Executive Director wish to seek independent professional advice that they believe is necessary to discharge their responsibility as a director, the matter is initially referred to the Chair. Where the Chair determines it is appropriate that advice be sought by the Non-Executive Director, Dexus will pay for such advice.
2.8 Membership on other Boards
The Board acknowledges that membership of other boards is beneficial and accordingly supports and encourages its members to hold directorships on other boards including charitable, community and other not-for-profit boards.
The Board also acknowledges that concurrent service on multiple boards by Dexus directors may impact their overall performance and ability to devote adequate time to each board/position. The Board recognises that the time required to fulfil each directorship role varies and, as a result, has determined that it is not appropriate to set a limit on the total number of directorships held.
Directors will consider the number of directorships they hold to ensure they have sufficient time to attend to the affairs of Dexus. Should a director wish to accept directorships in addition to those already held, the matter is referred to the Chair for approval.

Montana Women at Work: Clothesline Timeline Lesson Plan (Designed for grades 4-12) This primary-source based lesson asks students to analyze historic photographs to draw conclusions about women and work from the 1870s through the 2010s. Students will discover that Montana women have always worked, but that discrimination, cultural expectations, and changing technology have influenced the types of work women undertook.
Resources for Montana History Research Projects: This information is not gathered neatly in one place--but we've created a number of lists of suggested topics--with links to more information--that would be useful for students conducting research projects.
- First is our list of Montana History Topics for National History Day. We revise this list each year to match the theme--but your students don't have to be working on NHD projects for this list to be useful. For each topic we include a list of a few primary and secondary sources (including internet sources) to get students started on their research.
- Extra! Montana News 1864-1922 is a list of topics--from anti-Chinese discrimination and bison hunting and extermination to the Mullan Road and statehood. For each topic, a volunteer searched the Montana newspapers digitzed on Chronicling America to find articles. Each topic page includes an overview, a list of key dates, links to some relevant newspaper articles, and suggested search terms for finding more information.
- Montana Biographies and Gallery of Outstanding Montanans both offer information on notable Montanans and provide good starting points for biography projects.
- Resilience: Stories of Montana Indian Women is a booklet that the Montana Office of Public Instruction published as a PDF for download. It features profiles of Indian women, originally created for the Montana Historical Society's Women's History Matters Project. The short online essays on Women's History Matters provide another rich starting point--especially since each comes with a bibliography.
Girl from the Gulches: The Story of Mary Ronan Study Guide (Designed for students 6-10). This study guide includes lesson plans, vocabulary, chapter summaries and questions, alignment to the Common Core, and other information to facilitate classroom use of Girl from the Gulches: The Story of Mary Ronan, as told to Margaret Ronan, edited by Ellen Baumler. Set in the second half of the nineteenth century, this highly readable 222-page memoir details Mary Sheehan Ronan's journey across the Great Plains, her childhood on the Colorado and Montana mining frontiers, her ascent to young womanhood in Southern California, her return to Montana as a young bride, and her life on the Flathead Indian Reservation as the wife of an Indian agent. Book One, which provides a child's-eye view of the mining frontier, is available to download as a PDF (Lexile Level 1180L). Classroom sets of Girl from the Gulches can be purchased from the Montana Historical Society Museum Store by calling toll free 1-800-243-9900.
Reader's Theater: Letters Home from Montanans at War (Designed for 7th-12th). This three-to-five period unit asks students to work in groups to read and interpret letters written by soldiers at war, from the Civil War to the Operation Iraqi Freedom. After engaging in close reading and conducting research to interpret the letters, they will perform the letters as reader's theater.
"Native American Trade Routes and the Barter Economy" includes two learning activities intended designed to complement Chapter 2 of the Montana: Stories of the Land textbook. Designed for use in grades seven through nine, Activity One, "Resources and Routes," focuses primarily on mapping pre-contact trade routes, with a special emphasis on Montana. Activity Two, "Trading Times," asks students to simulate the process through which various products from different regional tribes were bartered and disseminated to gain a better understanding of pre-contact barter economy and how it compares with the modern-day cash economy.
Hands-on History Footlockers: I've recently touted our new footlockers (like the Original Governor's Mansion or the redesigned Coming to Montana) but some of the older titles are great too. Two particular favorites of mine are Stones and Bones, which explores the earliest evidence of Montana's human history; and The Home Fires: Montana and World War II, which describes aspects of everyday life in Montana during the 1941-1945 war years. You can see the complete list of footlockers and find information on how to order them here.

Either things are going on enough that I have a topic to write about, or its so dead I can't find anything to write about. Can't we have a nice middle? But then again, thats life. 100 mph or dead.
Im back to my old sleep schedule: nonexistant. Im up all hours, and I get up somewhere near lunch to dinner. Thank you risperidal for keeping it straight as long as you did. Unfortunately I cant afford your prices or the weight gain any longer. I didn't realize it had quite spiraled back to that until I was at Burger King at 4pm and the manager was like "How is your lunch/dinner?" and I answered with "breakfast." Yep, its baaaack. On the other hand, Im getting to listen to alot of music on pandora and Ive read more books this month than last year combined. (1-2 per couple days.)
Mentally for a long time, with 3 exceptions as of late, I just stay in a "mixed" state. They're hard to medicate. They're hard to live with, but I'm pretty used to them by now. Considering its February, my normal month of ruin, I'm just sitting here waiting for SOMETHING to change. Either a depression so deep I can't function, or a high that kicks my ass. For once I'd be happy with the mixed state. This weather isn't helping at all, of course.
Once upon a time I handled writing correctly, a beginning middle and end. Here's the end.

Games on mobile platforms like iPhone and Android are getting better by the day, and with each new hardware release the limit on graphics capabilities is being pushed further. One of the top PC game engines, Unreal Engine, can now run on mobile devices; it was used to create the visually stunning Infinity Blade released at the end of last year. I gave Infinity Blade a spin the other day and it got me thinking about whether or not it would be feasible to for Windows, Mac and mobile gamers to play the same game in the same game world. In essence, an MMO that can be accessed not only from a desktop computer but from an iPhone, Droid or BB. For the rest of this article I'm going to refer to that concept as a "cross-platform" game, assuming that one platform consists of all desktop/laptop OSs and the other consists of mobile platforms.
I have no doubts as far as technology goes. The hard part of the situation is designing the game itself. You can't just port WoW or EVE to iPhone and call it a day, nor can you write a Windows version of Shadow Cities or Infinity Blade. Each platform has its own benefits and drawbacks as far as the user experience goes, and a game that mixes users from different platforms has accommodate them. Consequently, I've broken the problem down in 3 main areas of interest.
1. Menus/UI
This is not an insurmountable problem, but it is definitely one of the larger issues to deal with in the development of a cross-platform game. Traditional MMOs on PC platforms typically have plenty of menus, such as character sheets, inventories and chat and often many of these are displayed at one time. On a mobile display with <10 square inches of screen space, this isn't entirely practical.
I think the ideal system would be somewhat like an TES:Oblivion-style interface, where the majority of the screen defaults to displaying the game world unless a menu is opened. On the PC/Mac platform menus would be access with typical keyboard shortcuts, while on the phone they would "slide out" from the sides of the screen. Menus would of course have to be designed to be extremely concise, with the understanding that an iPhone user will most likely be interacting with a menu or the game world, but not both at the same time.
2. Client-World Interaction
In a classic FPS game the player changes the view with his/her mouse, moves with WASD, runs with Shift and interacts with objects with E. Unfortunately this sort of experience cannot be efficiently emulated on a mobile platform. It's been tried through a variety of methods, such as rendering a small joysticks on the screen, but the results are typically difficult to use. The bottom line is that FPS controls will not work on mobile devices.
Because of this, I think the best route to go is by implementing a point-and-click move and interaction system. Touching a location in the game world would initiate a path finding process that takes the user to the closest possible point, while touching an intractable object would open a small context menu with relevant actions for that object. This can work with a mouse or with a touch screen device, and wouldn't give either platform an advantage over the other.
3. Game Content
Given that the iPhone has significantly fewer resources and graphical capabilities when compared with a high-end desktop machine, some downsizing of textures/models and removal of effects has to take place. The smaller screens on mobile devices mean that less polygons are needed, which is helpful, but at the end of the day the mobile version of cross-platform game will properly end up looking less detailed than its desktop equivalent. There are plenty of ways to combat this though, such as decreasing view distance in exchange for an increase in nearby polygon counts, so I don't think it's as big of a concern.
In conclusion, I should mention I have no intention to develop such a game at this time. It's certainly something I'd like to do though eventually, so I plan to continue fleshing out my ideas. I'll continue to post some of them here as well as I go. That's all for now though!
