The Student Desk Store features designs for home, preschools and classrooms. We carry basic open-front styles along with color-coordinated desks for bedroom furniture ensembles. Modern and traditional designs include mobile cart styles and tiered computer stands. We cater to the education market and home shopper with quality products from leading manufacturers.
Scaled models for younger ones provide space for nurturing curious young minds. We've selected a range of computer desks and activity tables that are sized so your preschooler can be comfortably seated. Multi-user units create a unique interactive experience that helps kids learn while having fun.
In the classroom or in group sessions, every child should have a comfortable work space. Our selection includes ADA compliant tables with adjustable heights and locking casters for easy access. Tablet arm and open front styles are featured here in sizes for all youth. Side storage, multiple tiers and CPU holders are all design options. We also offer tables that can be grouped for discussions or separated for more formal presentations. Mobile stations are practical for any learning environment as well. Arrange them based on number of students or move them from room to room as needed.
At home, the Student Desk Store is your resource for stylish and practical pieces that every child, youth and teen will love. These can coordinate with other furnishings while providing a private space that's necessary for finishing homework and other projects. Styles for girls include beautiful white and natural finishes with scalloped and carved accents. Boys will like the rugged appeal of hammered metal cabinetry in our Monster line. An array of other popular colors and designs offers opportunities for customizing according to personality and changing tastes.

Matching chairs in classic and modern styles will complete your child's study space. As you browse this category, it's easy to narrow your choices by material and finish options.
When selecting any desk, you'll want to assess the requirements. It needs to be spacious enough for laptops or personal computers. The surface may only need to be large enough for a notepad and textbook. In this case, tablet arms are ideal. For multi-task settings, peninsulas and expanded corner units might do the job. Many of our models include width options for easier selection.
Surface and frame materials are designed for rugged use. Laminate and wood veneer tops are included for easy cleanup and scuff resistance. Metal bases are powder coated in neutral tones that will coordinate with any educational setting. Some bases are also laminates over sturdy construction that can withstand the daily abuse from kids in a classroom.
Peripheral accessories include presentation carts and laptop cabinets for charging and storage. These are specifically designed to provide locking protection for valuable equipment. They're updated with such options as cord management and built-in plugs. In a multi-media environment, they'll be valuable assets for educators. Teacher desks with edge-banding color choices are designed to coordinate with our specialty line of preschool workstations. Like their smaller counterparts, these also have rounded edges and durable surfaces.
Choosing the right furniture that's age-appropriate is critical for a healthy learning environment. That's why the Student Desk Store offers a vast range of styles and sizes for preschool through college and beyond. Whether you're purchasing in bulk for institutional use or selecting a single piece for home decor, we're pleased to offer assistance with your selection. Please feel free to contact our customer service representatives with questions about products, pricing and shipping.

Gamification: Applying Game Principles to Your Teaching
Stereotype Threat and Microagressions in the College Classroom
Parker Palmer and Maryellen Weimer talk about the underpinnings of their approaches to their work as teachers. They discuss the critical role of self-knowledge as a precursor to your work with students as well as why it is the key to growth and development as teachers. Whether you are a new or experienced faculty member who ended the semester on a high note or a low note, you'll gain insight, inspiration, and validation from this impassioned conversation.
Their conversation does not go down a list of tips or techniques. Instead, it gets to the heart of why teachers teach. They discuss the critical-and difficult-role of self-knowledge as a precursor to your work with students. Listening to this conversation will not result in a to-do checklist-instead it will give you something to reflect on now and for a long time to come.
Palmer and Weimer discuss why self-knowledge is the key to growth and development as teachers, and why truth-not techniques-heals and empowers those who have lost heart. Their dialogue revolves around the following questions:
Listening to Drs. Palmer and Weimer, you'll have no doubt that finding the fortitude to teach past the challenges you face can produce deep joy and satisfaction.
The editors at Magna Publications believe that this is one of the best productions they've ever done. CETL is providing on-line access for UW-Superior faculty and staff only so they may view and re-view this conversation at their convenience.

Hey all!
Looks like it's simple character time again! This time it's that gritty Vampire-Vampire hunter kerVamps the Soulstaker!
During the terrible Vampire Clan Wars, kerVamps bought himself several rolls of two-ply rune-paper. This rune paper had both accuracy and penetration magically sewn into it. When this rune paper was wrapped around a classic stake, kerVamps had created a deadly projectile that would launch off of his wooden casters at the speed of magic! (which is terribly fast).
Here we can see that kerVamps has practiced on a slower member of his brethren by pinning him to a cliff! poor little bat, hopefully the vampire clan wars will be over soon so this bloodshed will cease!

Havn't signed on in a very long time, but I just had to log on and tell you how great this picture is. The weapon he's holding kind of reminds me of "Jak and Daxter".

While the Sony HMZ-T1 personal headset is capable of some of the best 3D effects I've ever seen, it's uncomfortable to wear for extended periods and images suffer from blurriness.
Sony's daft new HMZ-T3W might look like something from a '90s virtual-reality movie -- but wearing it is like watching a 750-inch TV.
Pricing not available
The Palm Tungsten T3 combines powerful business and multimedia features with a Schwarzenegger-size screen.
The Sony PRS-T2 is a perfectly good touch-screen e-reader whose only sin is that it doesn't have any competitive advantages over Amazon's and Barnes & Noble's e-readers.
A likable ultracompact snapshot camera, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T2 nevertheless faces stiff competition from its own siblings, the T20 and T200.
The Cell2Tel Bluetooth Gateway offers a smart solution for those who want to use their cell phones with a regular landline telephone.
With the design improvements and enhancements of Windows Mobile 6.5, the HTC Touch2 makes for a nice smartphone for first-time users. Unfortunately, it's not bound for the U.S. and may not be worth its unlocked price.
Pricing not available
The HTC HD2's size and older operating system aren't ideal, but you won't find a more powerful or entertaining smartphone in T-Mobile's lineup.
Toshiba takes a solid premium 15-inch laptop and adds a great-looking 4K touchscreen while keeping the price reasonable. But at this point, it's mostly for bragging rights or early adopters.
A great follow-up to the T1i, if you want the best photo and video quality in a dSLR for less than $1,000, the Canon EOS Rebel T2i is hard to beat.

Devious Dungeon is a great hack-and-slash dungeon crawler that's perfect for those who long for the simpler platform games of the past.

Geekerati like Felicia Day, Wil Wheaton, Weird Al, and more celebrate four decades of dice-rolling derring-do by lending their voices to a free Audible audiobook by R.A. Salvatore.
Though there are several perpetual runners in the App Store, the 3D over the shoulder perspective, multiple paths, and ability to pick up and upgrade items make this title worth checking out.
Pricing not available
The graphical style for Rocketcat Games titles has always had that cute, cartoonish quality, but don't let it fool you -- Wayward Souls is tough.
Devious Dungeon on iOS gives you fun and addictive hack-and-slash gameplay on your iOS device.
EA's remake of the Peter Molyneux classic for mobile represents some of the more unscrupulous tactics mobile gaming has to offer.

22 U.S. Code § 286s - Consideration of basic human needs in economic adjustment programs supported by Fund
(a) Formulation and design of programs
The President shall instruct the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of State, and other appropriate Federal officials to use all appropriate means to encourage countries, in formulating economic adjustment programs to deal with their balance of payments difficulties, to design those programs so as to safeguard, to the maximum feasible extent, jobs, investment, real per capita income, policies to reduce the gap in wealth between rich and poor, and social programs such as health, housing, and education.
(b) Changes in Fund guidelines, policies, and decisions; review prior to approval of standby arrangements; coordination among institutions; coordination between Fund and Bank; periodic analyses
To ensure the effectiveness of economic adjustment programs supported by Fund resources and the reinforcement of those programs by longer term efforts to promote sustained growth and improved living conditions—
(1) United States representatives to the Fund shall recommend and shall work for changes in Fund guidelines, policies, and decisions that would—
(A) permit stand-by arrangements to be extended beyond three years, as necessary to enable Fund members to implement their economic adjustment programs successfully;
(B) provide that in approving any economic adjustment program the Fund shall take into account the effect such program will have on jobs, investment, real per capita income, the gap in wealth between the rich and poor, and social programs such as health, housing, and education, in order to seek to minimize the adverse impact of those adjustment programs on basic human needs; and
(A) before voting on the approval of any standby arrangement with respect to any economic adjustment program, the United States Executive Director shall review—
(i) any analysis of factors prepared by the Fund or the member country in accordance with subparagraphs (B) and (C) of paragraph (1), or
(3) United States representatives to the Fund, to the Bank, and to other appropriate institutions shall work toward improving coordination among these institutions and, in particular, shall work toward formulation of programs in association with economic adjustment programs supported by Fund resources which
(A) will, among other things, promote employment, investment, real income per capita, improvements in income distribution, and the objectives of social programs such as health, housing, and education, and
(B) will, to the maximum extent feasible and consistent with the borrowing country's need to improve its balance of payments position within a reasonable period, ameliorate any adverse effects of economic adjustment programs on the poor;
(4) United States representatives to the Fund and the Bank shall seek amendments to decisions on policies on the use of Fund and Bank resources to provide that, where countries are seeking Extended Fund Facility or upper credit tranche drawings from the Fund and are eligible to receive financing from the Bank, the Fund and Bank will coordinate their financing activities in order—
(A) to take into account the effects of economic adjustment programs on the areas listed in clause (A) of paragraph (3),
(B) to provide, to the extent feasible, Bank project loans designed to safeguard and further basic human needs in countries adopting economic adjustment programs supported by Fund resources, and

UNDATED, WI (WTAQ) - Northern Wisconsin is getting its normal invasion of mosquitoes – but southern Wisconsin is not.
You would think with all the rain that fell last month, folks in the south would constantly be itching.
However, UW Madison entomologist Phil Pellitteri says the repeated soakings are washing away the stagnant water that mosquitoes need to breed. He says the same water needs to be standing for up to 12 days for the blood-sucking skeeters to breed.
He also said last summer's drought could still be having an impact.
The National Weather Service said southwest Wisconsin had its wettest June ever.

KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
Four Motorcycle Deaths on Kentucky Roadways Last Week (June 8 - 14)
Date of News Release: 06/15/09
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- Preliminary statistics* indicate that eleven people died in eleven separate crashes on Kentucky roadways from Monday, June 8 through Sunday, June 14, 2009.
Four of the victims were riding motorcycles and two of those crashes involved the suspected use of alcohol. Motorcycle crashes occurred in Daviess, Lawrence, Montgomery and Wolfe counties and none of the victims were wearing helmets.
Six of the crashes involved motor vehicles and four of those victims were not wearing seat belts. Single-fatality crashes occurred in Bell, Logan, Lyon, Meade, Pendleton, and Pike counties. Alcohol was a factor in three of the crashes.
On bicycle fatality occurred in Trigg county and the victim was not wearing a helmet.
Through June 14, preliminary statistics* indicate that 342 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2009. This is 7 more than reported for the same time period in 2008. There were 287 motor vehicle fatalities and 160 of those victims were not wearing seat belts. Sixteen pedestrians have been killed. Thirty-three fatalities involved a motorcycle and five fatalities involved an ATV. A total of eighty-one fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

Video Introduction
"Blended Learning": On Campus + Online
The Masters of Nutrition Science and Policy degree is taught through a combination of online learning and campus-based residencies in Boston. This format gives students who are unable to attend class full time in Boston the opportunity to earn a Tufts Friedman School masters degree with minimal interruption to existing career and/or family obligations.
Every semester for approximately one week, students and Tufts faculty meet in Boston for an intensive residency period of course work and study. Residencies give students the opportunity to meet fellow students and faculty face-to-face and to become fully immersed in the experience of attending one of the nation's premier research universities. Students also experience essential hands-on learning which cannot be taught in a fully-online environment.
The remainder of the semester is facilitated online by Tufts faculty utilizing innovative technologies and instructional methods. Students can complete the program in as few as 16 months, but are able to extend their studies if they choose to take fewer courses each semester. Learn more about how the MNSP program utilizes blended learning.

In 2007, the Friedman School joined with Ras Al Khaimah, one of the seven Emirates in the United Arab Emirates to participate in establishing Ras Al Khaimah, as a hub for nutrition education that would serve populations in the UAE, neighboring Gulf States and South Asia.
Among the projects was the establishment of a unique masters degree program taught in a blended format of online learning plus three to four residencies in the UAE, each of which is approximately eight days. The MNSP program, which began in the UAE continues today with additional course offerings and residencies on Tufts' Boston Health Sciences Campus.
The Program Director of the blended learning degree program, Dr. Lynne Ausman, is the Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi Professor in International Nutrition, a professorship endowed with a gift from the government of Ras Al Khaimah and given in acknowledgement to Dr. Ausman for her contributions to the success of the masters program in Ras Al Khaimah.
The Master of Nutrition Science and Policy (MNSP) degree program offers an interdisciplinary curriculum of advanced study in nutrition science, global and US food policy, global nutrition programs, statistics, applied research skills, plus a two-course concentration area selected by the student.
Students will complete ten credits* of coursework consisting of a required core curriculum, two electives and a one-credit research or project based thesis. The electives allow students to concentrate in a specific field as perceived important for the student's education or career objectives. The curriculum is designed to enhance the study of nutrition at both the science and policy levels.
Required Courses
Science & Policy Core-4 credits, Research Skills Core- 3 credits, Electives-2 credits, Thesis-1 credit
*Please note that one-credit courses at Tufts are equal to four credits in other institutions.
Science and Policy Core
NUTB 205-Nutritional Biochemistry with Community/Clinical Applications: Macronutrients
Students will explore the fundamental roles of nutrients in biological systems and the implications of macronutrient biological functions on food and nutrition policy. Emphasis will be placed on the function of nutrients as defined by their chemistry, interrelations among nutrient functions, mechanistic approaches in the analysis of nutrient‐disease relationships, and recent advances in the basic sciences related to nutrition and nutrient function. The course will integrate examples of community, clinical and public health policy applications throughout the term. Published journal articles from the peer reviewed literature, case histories, and public policy documents will form the basis for critical review and discussion. This is the first of a two course sequence (NUTB 205 and NUTB 305 – may be taken in either order).
Offered annually in fall
NUTB 305-Nutritional Biochemistry with Community/Clinical Applications: Micronutrients
Students will continue the exploration of the fundamental roles of nutrients in biological systems and the implications of micronutrient biological functions on food and nutrition policy. As with NUTB 205, emphasis will be on the function of nutrients as defined by their chemistry, interrelations among nutrient functions, mechanistic approaches in the analysis of nutrient-disease relationships, and recent advances in the basic sciences related to nutrition and nutrient function. This is the second of a two course sequence (NUTB 205 and NUTB 305 maybe taken in either order).
Offered annually in spring
NUTB 238-Economics for Food and Nutrition Policy
This course equips students with the principles used for economic analysis of food and nutrition policies around the world. We use the graphical methods taught in standard, one-semester courses on the principles of economics, but our motivation, examples and applications are focused on food and nutrition problems in the United States and elsewhere. On completion, students will be able to obtain the data and apply the analytical methods needed to:
- explain and predict consumption, production and trade in agriculture and food markets
- evaluate the social welfare consequences of market failure, collective action and government policies including regulation, taxation and enforcement of property rights in agriculture and food markets
- measure poverty and inequality in income, wealth, nutrition and health, as influenced by changes in markets and policies; and
- describe macroeconomic relationships, fluctuations and trends in incomes, employment, economic growth and development.
Faculty: Masters
Offered annually in fall
NUTB 206-Global Food and Nutrition Policy
Varying global and national forces drive food production and consumption within and among nations. The possibilities and limitations facing nutrition professionals in any given situation require an understanding of policy and the basic principles of policy formation. In order to be effective, professionals need an understanding of the indicators that are available to diagnose the situation, the skills to seek out information, and the ability to correctly interpret the results. Students will examine and apply these skills to specific case examples and evaluate the range of programs used to address over and under-nutrition, and which interventions are appropriate in varying circumstances.
The class will cover: a) how science influences the policy agenda, and how policy debates influence the scientific and programmatic agenda; b) the scientific underpinnings of food and nutrition policies and development of normative guidance; c) how empirical findings in scientific research and operational programming make their way into policy and law; d) global debates and controversies in nutrition; e) how to evaluate what works best and what the alternatives should be considered; f) a review of key organizations involved in global food and nutrition policy and programming.
Faculty: Kennedy

Particular emphasis is placed on understanding energy expenditure and body composition and their components, and how these may change during physiological stress or illness. Students then learn about enteral and parenteral nutrition and fundamental aspects of nutrition support. These core elements are then applied in the study of various disease states and clinical nutrition therapy. Students also have the opportunity to explore diet and disease in an approved area of their interest through written and oral presentation.
Offered annually in summer
NUTB 210-Monitoring and Evaluation of Nutrition and Food Security Programs
Inadequate project monitoring and evaluation (M&E) represent a major constraint in domestic and international programmatic efforts to address problems of malnutrition. The absence of sound M&E processes in large numbers of nutrition projects, despite continued evidence of their value in assessing and improving project performance, suggests that many project planners and managers may not yet have the necessary skills or understanding to develop and operate such systems. In this course students will become familiar with the strategies and techniques for monitoring and evaluating projects, particularly those related to nutrition and food security. They will be exposed to multiple domestic and international examples of monitoring and evaluation systems. Students will gain experience in the design of regional monitoring and evaluation plans and be able to assess the adequacy of proposals and program evaluations designed by others.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The Jerry Parins Cruise for Cancer benefit presented checks totaling $99,000 to six local cancer support groups Tuesday.
"The Packers are proud of Jerry and all of the work that he has done over the past 10 years to raise money for an important cause," said Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy.
Parins, the Packers' former director of security and organizer of the event, distributed money to Angel Classic Inc., Bellin Health Foundation Inc. (Patient Assistance Fund), St. Mary's Hospital (A Woman's Place), St. Vincent Hospital (Child Life Program), St. Vincent Hospital (Compassionate Care Fund) and Unity Limited Partnership (Hope for Grieving Families).
"Couple weeks ago, the 8th of June, we had our 10th annual ride and obviously it was such a great success," said Parins, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2003. "It was my best ride."
Parins thanked everyone behind the scenes who helped organize the 2012 Cruise for Cancer. Since its inception, the event has raised nearly $700,000 for the cause.

WHAT'S AWFUL: Curved barbells in hip piercings. Also it may just be the angle but they look pretty uneven to me.
HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: Remove them, let them heal, and get pierced with the correct jewelry.

Narrow your search
Here's where you find the best of the best, our top digital cameras across the board.
If you shoot primarily outdoors in daytime--especially sports, children and animals--the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 is a great choice. The cheaper DSC-H7 has a smaller LCD, lacks infrared shooting, and has a few interface differences, but is otherwise identical.
At IFA 2014, Sony announced a second round of its lens-style QX-series cameras that use your smartphone's screen for their viewfinder and controls.
Pricing not available
Basically point-and-shoots without screens and almost no physical controls, these Wi-Fi-enabled lens cameras aim to enhance your mobile photography.
A new version of Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-RX1, the RX1R, incorporates a new version of the sensor without an optical low-pass filter.
It can't match some of its competition in the features department, but the Sony Cyber-shot HX300 still packs a powerful zoom lens and plenty of point-and-shoot punch.
With a large sensor and high-quality lens, the RX10 promises great photo quality. But its feature set may not match what many folks are looking for.
With a terrific lens and a great full-frame sensor, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 delivers the best photos we've seen from a fixed-lens camera. But that doesn't come cheap.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX10 might be a fresh take on a point-and-shoot camera, but the design ends up being a bit more trouble than it's worth.
If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100's compact, elegant design, generally excellent photo quality, bright, fast lens, and speedy performance make a great package if you don't mind spending a little more money.

Weekly challenges, regular competitions and awesome prizes!
There are so many mechanical innovations and crazy inventions that technologically it is already entirely possible to have a part car, part drone, part plane parked in your garage. It does sound a little insane, but only because it's a completely new concept to us. We don't realize that when we're on a plane, we're basically flying on a drone, as drones are based on the exact same technology. Does having a personal flying vehicle in front of your home excite you or scare you?
Designing a future vehicle is a liberating experience, since there are no rules and no expectations. The Future Vehicles challenge is aimed at those who can't help but wonder what the future supercars will look like, how we'll travel from point A to point B and what new and captivating features these vehicles will possess.
Do not limit yourself to the conventional means of transport, let's explore all possible methods of travelling – from electric rickshaws, to two-wheeled part drone, part car monsters or even flying trams. Any computer-generated 3D model of a fantasy concept vehicle is welcome, as we join forces in unraveling the future travel.
3D Printing Kids Challenge: Learn, Dream, Create
If your brain is bubbling with ideas, you have a flair for technology and have the guts to go head to head with other young geniuses like yourself, take this challenge and see your inventions come to life.
Do you see ways how to improve the school life, home and leisure time using 3D-printed objects? Have you developed an inspiring toy concept or come up with a brilliant invention for everyday problems? Then go ahead and design it. The easiest way to develop a truly inventive idea for your project is to find something that causes trouble, a daily problem that gets people frustrated, something that requires a creative approach – then put your mind to it and offer a 3D printing-inspired solution.
We will welcome a wide range of good quality 3D printable models from juniors aged 14 & under.
Let your imagination roam free – learn, dream, create!
Cars are so last season. The world is changing - with the climate change threatening the survival of human beings and gas costs skyrocketing, a record number of people are opting for a much healthier and cheaper commute - cycling. There are billions of bikes produced every year, which basically means one thing - they are mainstream. FlyKly, the main sponsor of this challenge, is just the right example to illustrate cyclists' devotion to finding the smoothest and smartest way to travel.
"Cycling is a great solution to commute in the city, escape the traffic, save the environment and be part of the community. FlyKly is dedicated to making bicycle friendly cities and improving the way we travel from A to Z in the fastest, smoothest and smartest way possible. With this challenge, FlyKly would like to encourage designers to design innovative accessories for urban cycling that will be available instantly to 3D print and fun to use in order to make the urban cycling fun, safe and smart," - says Niko Klansek, Founder of FlyKly.
3D printing is here to help us take advantage of mass personalization by offering cyclists the opportunity to customize their urban beasts. 3D Printed Bicycle Accessories Challenge is an opportunity for you to tap into this huge and still growing market. Cyclists take their gear very seriously, so if you can offer them relevant, and (more importantly) better products than the ones that already exist in the marketplace, you can be sure to grow some loyal clientele.
What does it take to turn a standard bike into a street-killer? Just about everything you can think of: valve caps, mirrors, wall mounts, bottle holders, mud guards or handlebar grips… Take a good look at a bike and go reinvent it. Please.
When it comes to 3D-printed jewellery, the new technology is redefining our notion of what is possible. We know the current trends and they're exciting, but what could really blow everyone's minds is peeking into the future and bringing those visions to life through 3D printing.
3D printing is said to be completely transforming jewellery industry, but we need a proof. This time we want you to give the fashion world a little shake...
In a society where everyone's striving to stand out, custom products can certainly be the ace in your pocket. Jewellery is an essential part of a stylish look and it's such a broad range of products, too! Everything from rings, earrings and pendants to headwear or belt buckles goes under this category.
Can you think of a time when you wanted to purchase a unique piece of jewellery, but couldn't find one that you really liked? Wrong colour, size or a too mainstream design? Sure you can, we've all been there. That's what we're talking about. The 3D Printable Jewellery challenge is all about the eye-catching, memorable jewellery designs that are created to impress.
Do us a favour and dazzle us with your creativity.

With the football World Cup holding the world in its grips, it's the perfect time to express your support for your favourite team, player or coach. Not a fan of football? That's good too. We invite you to create 3D models of any sport – real or soon-to-be-real – and get cracking! There are no rules in the fantasy world, so don't be shy and show everyone why they should be excited about YOUR imaginary sport!
Have you read a book called "The Island of Doctor Moreau"? It is a science fiction novel about a crazy doctor who creates human-like beings from animals via vivisection in a secret island. Well, we do not suggest you to do that, not at all. We have something simpler, yet as exciting for you. We have a new interface, so, obviously, we need some plants and animals to inhabit it. Behold, it is the new challenge of a redesigned CGTrader. Show us your knowledge on flora and fauna - create the most incredible 3D models of live creatures. The authors of the best models and portfolios will be awarded with stocks for their "laboratories" of world creation. We have LightWave and ChronoSculpt licenses from NewTek LightWave as well as handy stuff from Subburb, VIZPARK, Video Copilot and Itoo Software prepared for the winners. All you need to do is to come up with a great 3D model of animal or plant and take those prizes. Come on, do it! We know, you can.
You are probably well aware that 3D printing is breaking into new territories every day. This time we're occupying the most important area of all – your home! And every other home around the world. It's time to really show everyone what can be done with a 3D printer. Why bother going shopping for homeware products, if you can print them at home? We invite you to push the limits of your creativity and design 3D printable items that would be handy at home, which is basically everything from door knobs and picture frames to cutlery sets and bedroom furniture – there are no bad ideas.
Creating a cosy and beautiful home has never been easier. Can't find a flower pot to fit your windowsill? Print one. Need a custom-made toolbox to hold all your screwdrivers? Print one. A lid of your kettle got broken? Print a new one. It's okay if you feel a little overwhelmed with the amount of choices that this challenge provides – creative chaos is an artist's best friend and we're positive you'll come back with mind-blowing 3D printable items.
Although it is a very exciting challenge, we don't expect you to work for nothing! Among other fantastic prizes, we have an assembled TAZ 4 3D printer from LulzBot to give away and plenty of cash. You get the idea, now start creating!
Easter is a very special holiday for Christians. That is why we are back with another holiday-related challenge. Did you know that Easter signifies rebirth? Then, why Easter should stay the same every year? 2014 is the year when it is going to rebirth itself. And it is going to rebirth in 3D printable items.
"How?", - you ask? Well, you will make it yourselves! That is right, we invite you, 3D designers to make change the world a little bit once again.
Create something unique. It can be a decoration or an Easter gift, or even something that depicts the end of the Great Lent. It's eggsalicious!

It was the year 2414 when the entire human race was forced to leave planet Earth as a result of the disorder in the parallel universe. It directly affected the solar system and whole Universe as we know it. No one knows what exactly happened, but the living conditions on the majority of planets became unhabitable. In these times of instability and race migration a war broke out when two origins had collided one with another due to growing supply needs and habitable territories.
The galaxy split into the origins of good and evil. The good ones were concerned to restore stability and overcome the crisis in a peaceful way. The evil ones, however, had a desire to use this crisis to take control over the whole Universe. It marked the beginning of a war that would last for hundreds of years. It still continues to this day, and the universe needs you to end this conflict!
