I believe in facing the world one frontline at a time. My career at the United Nations has seen me posted in the United States, Croatia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, Switzerland and Haiti.
I was born in Osaka, Japan, but grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii, where my family moved when I was two years old. At university I saw Mrs. Sadako Ogata speak when she was High Commissioner for Refugees. She inspired and drew me to the Organization. My father had worked in El Salvador as a volunteer when he was a young man. His sense of service and the personal reward from the experience were strong influences on my choice of career.
I joined the United Nations through the National Competitive Recruitment Examination in public information, which I took in 1992. At the United Nations, I have worn several hats, from being an Electoral Observer in the Central African Republic to a Civil Affairs Officer in Croatia. I have worked with teams from the Yearbook Section and the News and Media Division of the Department of Public Information (DPI), the Executive Office of DPI, the Situation Centre, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Today, I am a Human Rights Officer. I am usually based in Geneva and work in the Peace Missions Support/Rapid Response section of the Field Operations and Technical Cooperation Division of OHCHR. I head the Humanitarian Action Unit, which works to make human rights a part of operational responses to humanitarian crises.
Haiti is home to me now. I am part of the surge deployment team here, following the 12 January earthquake, which supports the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) response to the current crisis.
A typical day for me starts at 7 a.m. when I leave my house. The human rights team here leads the protection cluster – which addresses protection concerns, both from the law and order point of view as well as helping to ensure that the aid gets to those who need it most. It can be a lot of meetings, but one Sunday, for example, we drove out to a food distribution site, to talk to people and see how it was going. Who was not getting food and why? So many buildings have been destroyed, and there is so much fear of aftershocks, that some of us sleep in our offices or have tents pitched at the HQ. Others go home but sleep outside in tents. We work in prefabricated containers, nestled under mango trees. We are always yelling, because of the constant roar of helicopters and airplanes coming in and out. Immediately after the earthquake, the offices hosted more than 1200 non-governmental organizations, most of which worked out of the MINUSTAH logistical base.
What inspires me every day at the United Nations is the thought that a full day's work hopefully translates into an improved life for others. I do not think I could do it day-in-day-out if it were for a better bottom line.
Coming to Haiti was a challenge. The United Nations has been traumatized here, as much as the host population. Like many other colleagues, I also lost friends here. But it is inspiring to see everyone pulling together and helping one another out. Nearly every day I run into an old friend that I have not seen since my Croatia or Congo days, and who has volunteered to be a part of this effort. We all watch out for each other.
The United Nations is a big organization, but at the same time it is a proper community of friends and colleagues. In Hawaii, where I come from, we use the word 'Ohana,' which means family. It is the idea that we are all responsible for one another and should help each other when and where we can. I try to live the spirit of Ohana with my United Nations family.

March For Our Lives
March 27, 2018
Gun violence is an issue that has been prominent in the nation for a very long time, due to the rise of mass shootings. More specifically, mass shootings that take place in schools. Very recently, 17 students and teachers were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, making it the second-deadliest public school shooting in American history.
People have had enough.
The March For Our Lives is a nationwide protest against gun violence that was held last Saturday. There were rallies all over the nation, from New York to Washington D.C to Los Angeles to Miami all protesting the same issue.
March For Our Lives' mission statement states, "Not one more. We cannot allow one more child to be shot at school. We cannot allow one more teacher to make a choice to jump in front of a firing assault rifle to save the lives of students. We cannot allow one more family to wait for a call or text that never comes. Our schools are unsafe. Our children and teachers are dying. We must make it our top priority to save these lives."
Young people are coming together to make their voices heard about this important issue, to make sure that children don't have to go to school in fear anymore. Thousands of people came to rallies, holding up signs, marching, and speaking for what they believe in.
Many celebrities attended the various marches as well, including performers like Miley Cyrus. Other public figures, such as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West also came to support the cause.
The support for ending gun violence is relevant and is only growing. Although the march is over, the fight for our lives continues.

If all you want out of a smart speaker is a way to manage your smart devices, check the weather and listen to some podcasts while you're in the kitchen, you don't need a large speaker.
Both the $49 Google Home Mini and the $50 Amazon Echo Dot do the job well. But you do have other options: Zolo offers the Mojo ($79) as an alternative small smart speaker. However, although it costs twice as much as the Google Home Mini, the Mojo doesn't deliver twice the value, and isn't quite up to par with the best smart speakers on the market.
Available only in black, the 3.7 x 2.7-inch Mojo is compact and simple in design; compared to the wide, disc-shaped Google Home Mini (3.9 x 1.7 inches), it takes up much less counter space but is almost twice as tall. The unit houses a single 1.7-inch driver.
The top of the Mojo doesn't have any buttons, but its surface is touch-sensitive: Swipe left to lower the volume, swipe right to raise it and tap to pause a track. The gestures worked well.
The top has four LEDs that pulse when Google Assistant is listening. The LEDs also show the volume level when you change it.
MORE: Our Favorite Smart Home Gadgets and Systems
The front of the Mojo has a single button for muting the microphone, and the back has a button for Bluetooth pairing. There's no power button; you have to unplug it if you want to turn it off.
Google Assistant
The Mojo supports Google Assistant, which was responsive to my requests from across the room. It played music from Spotify, turned on a Wemo Switch and cued up YouTube videos on a Chromecast. Unlike the Google Home Mini, the Mojo can't make calls — a limitation that also plagues other third-party speakers with Google Assistant.. Google has said this feature will be available on third-party speakers in the future.
Audio Performance
The Mojo produces average sound for a small speaker; voices and vocals stand out in the mix, but the audio lacks resonance. By comparison, the Google Home Mini produces more bass, which makes it sound fuller.
On Childish Gambino's "This Is America," Donald Glover's rapping was easy to understand, but the deep bass that drives the song was hard to make out. Similarly, Courtney Barnett's vocals on "City Looks Pretty" were clear, but the distorted guitars lacked presence. Acoustic songs such as Big Star's "Thirteen" and Fleetwood Mac's "Never Going Back Again" also sounded thin.
Wireless Connectivity and Setup
As with other speakers that include Google Assistant, you use the Google Home app to set up the Mojo. You connect through your Wi-Fi router to get internet access, and you can choose 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz — although, with the speaker's limited fidelity, there's really no benefit to picking 5 GHz. You can also pair the speaker with other devices through Bluetooth, which is handy if Google Assistant doesn't support your preferred music service.
Through the Google Home app, you can add the Mojo to a multiroom setup, but unlike on the Google Home Mini, you can't adjust the bass or treble.
Bottom Line
The Zolo Mojo gets the job done as a small smart speaker; it doesn't take up much space and is responsive to voice commands. It doesn't sound great, but few small smart speakers do. Its biggest problem is its price: At $79, it's nearly twice as much as the Google Home Mini, which has more features and slightly better sound. If the cost were the same, the Zolo's size might make the difference, but as it is, the Google Home Mini is the better choice for most people.

Although it clearly says Edgewater Beach, it really is in Rogers Park. it shows the old Birchwood Country Club building that was just recently torn down
- March 15, 2011 at 4:05 PM
Ya your right because the small building with the peaked roof just to the left of the lifeguard perch
is still there and that's on the end of Touhy ave.
Was that country club relocated to Highland Park?
Because a Birtchwood club was established there in 1958
- March 15, 2011 at 8:19 PM
To my knowledge the Birchwood County club never relocated; it disbanded some time ago. The subdivision there was called Birchwood and the train stop on the St. Paul RR (now the red line)at Jarvis was called Birchwood.

I stuck pieces of plastic and metal together at an Evanston, Ill., assembly line. We produced photocopiers for a company called American Photocopy.
I hated the work. It was hot and boring. But it was useful. It taught me to get good grades in school so I might have other choices.
Four years later, good grades got me a job as a researcher at a TV station.
To my surprise, that became a career. I never planned to be a TV reporter. I hadn't even watched TV news. I never took a journalism course.
But by showing up and trying stuff, I found a career.
I write about this because I'm appalled watching politicians kill off "first" jobs. (They say it's to protect us.)
First, they raise the minimum wage. Forcing employers to pay $7.25 an hour leaves them reluctant to give unskilled kids a chance -- why pay more than a worker can produce? So they offer fewer "first" jobs.
On top of that, the Obama Labor Department has issued a fact sheet that says free internships are only legal if the employer derives "no immediate advantage" from the intern.
Are you kidding me? What's the point of that? I want interns who are helpful!
The bureaucrats say they will crack down on companies that don't pay, but that's a terrible thing to do.
Unpaid internships are great. They are win-win. They let young people experiment with careers, and figure out what they'd like and what they're good at. They help employers produce better things and recruit new employees.
I've used interns all my career. They have done some of my best research. Some became journalists themselves. Many told me: "Thank you! I learned more working for you than I learned in college, and I didn't have to pay tuition!
I could have paid them, but then I would have used fewer interns. When I worked at ABC, the network decided to pay them -- $10 an hour -- but it also cut the number of internships by half. Politicians don't get it. Neither do most people. Polls show that Americans support raising the minimum wage. Most probably also support limits on unpaid internships, believing that they replace paid work.
But they don't.
OK, sometimes they do. But the free exchange of labor creates so many good things that, in the long run, more jobs are created and many more people get paid work -- and we get better work.
But American politicians think they "protect" workers by limiting employers' (and workers') choices and giving handouts to the unemployed.
Outside a welfare office near Fox News, I was told that because of high unemployment, there are no jobs: "There's nothing out there. Nothing." I asked my team to check that out. They walked around for two hours, and within a few blocks of that welfare office they found lots of businesses that want to hire people. On the same block where I was told that there are no jobs, a store manager said he was desperate for applicants. "We need like two or three people all the time."
Of the 79 businesses that we asked, 40 said they would hire. Twenty-four said they would take people with no experience. All wished more people would apply.
I told German Munoz, a recent high school graduate, about one of the jobs offered, at a soul food restaurant. He went there and was hired to wash dishes for minimum wage. Within a few days, he was promoted to busboy -- then to waiter. Now, two weeks later, he makes twice the minimum wage. German doesn't want a career as a waiter, but he says it's great having a real first job.
"I meet successful people, and they give good advice and tips on how to become successful. I love it. I love going there every day and learning new stuff. It is like a stepping stone," he said. Exactly.
Low-wage first jobs are indispensable for both personal advancement and social progress. Our best hope for prosperity is the free market. Government must get out of our way and allow consenting adults to create as many "first" jobs as possible.

Approaching code as process: Prototyping ethnographic methodologies
Published in: Kuckuck. Notizen zur Alltagskultur 1/2021: "Code" (publication page)
Date: 2021-07-21
Some research fields force us to look at computer code, for example, when we study coding practices, programmers or software engineers. Yet in many research fields we encounter code in a more subtle form, as it is the ground for every digital phenomenon. Code is not a defined category but rather a methodological perspective that should be considered in every anthropology of the digital. It is a perspective we deliberately include for a necessary understanding of digital practices. But how can we approach code methodologically? This article, which forms the first result of a subsequent and ongoing collaboration to develop a methodological approach for the analysis of code, explores how we can grasp code theoretically and empirically in ethnographic research.

Enterprise Media is your one stop solution for your training needs: including streamed learning, DVDs, USBs, and more.
Not available
The Defense Personnel Support Center provides food, medical supplies, and clothing to the U.S. military. In this program you will see how DPSC has transformed an obsolete procurement and storage system into a business operation that would be the envy of many modern organizations.
You'll learn how the center's employees led the revolution to modernize its antiquated procurement practices by imitating, and, then in some cases, surpassing, the standards of customer service and just-in-time inventory management developed by the private sector. Another innovation for DPSC was to alter its view of its internal customers. Prior to the changes, the word "customer" was never used and the level of service reflected this attitude. After the changes, DPSC not only began to call supply officers customers, but the agency actually began to treat them like customers.
DPSC created teams to develop and implement innovations. These teams benchmarked from existing systems and processes in the public and private sector to create their innovations. Each new idea was tested in a small area. The successful ideas were implemented system-wide.
"I don't think that you start off, wake up one Monday morning and say, I'm going to reengineer this entire business practice - I don't think that's how it happens. I know that didn't happen in my case. We started off with more realistic pieces of it.
First of all, in our case, you have to deal with the business practices themselves: how are we actually doing our business here and can we do it better? And for us, that meant moving from buying things one at a time to getting into corporate contracts and long-term arrangements and using best value factors which we had never done before.
The second piece has to do with changing relationships - starting with your customers, to bring them in and understand what they need better than we did before.
The third level has to do with jobs and organizations. When you change how you're doing business and you change how you're relating to your partners, your jobs change. And the organization has to change to do that.
And lastly, you move to the level of reengineering the culture of the organization. I think people who haven't been here, say for the the last five, six, or seven years or are coming through the first time, walk around and talk to the people here and feel a sense of excitement and a sense of pride in what they're doing. I think you'll see what I'm calling entrepreneurs at work. And I think that 's a radically different environment from the one that I came into, where we had government servants doing their government jobs, in a very kind of... government way."
- Change is inevitable, important and beneficial.
- Change needs to be approached as an evolution that is gradual and constant, not as a revolution.
- Change doesn't happen without support from the top and without a willingness to take risks.
- Sometimes you have to throw away old assumptions and ways of doing things in order to genuinely improve processes.
- You have to support people in the process of taking risks.
- Benchmarking other successful approaches can be helpful in deciding how to change.
This program is part of the award-winning program, "The Excellence Files."

Song: "O Holy Night"

Why You Want to Listen: In 2015, British singer Ellie Goulding did a version of one of my very favorite Christmas songs, "O Holy Night." What a sweet and lovely rendition she gave to fans, and it's now an annual goodie. Goulding must be a Christmas enthusiast, as she also took part in Band Aid 30's "Do They Know It's Christmas?".

What's In the Box

It was tough enough to track the social and political upheaval of the 1960s through domestic news coverage, let alone to pay attention to what the rest of the world was reporting. But journalists from abroad were fascinated by the roiling changes -- and often saw it quite differently.
Though U.S. network coverage of civil rights cruelties helped rally the country against the worst offenders in the South, coverage of revolutionary groups such as the Black Panther Party more often took J. Edgar Hoover's extremist stance that it was the most dangerous internal threat to the U.S. Rarely did it look at the accomplishments of its free breakfast programs, community organizing and determination to stand up to police harassment and brutality.
Swedish newsmen and filmmakers who didn't follow the FBI line came to America to learn what they could, looking at life in largely segregated black America, talking frankly and seriously with black leaders and closely following their trials.
Footage of the era, said to have been sitting in a Swedish basement for three decades, became the eye-opening documentary "The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975" making its U.S. television debut on PBS' "Independent Lens" Thursday night as part of its Black History Month series.
The modernist title owes in part to filmmaker Göran Hugo Olsson using modern-day commentary, from musicians in many cases, to accompany the found footage. Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu and Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson of the Roots add their contemporary revolutionary musing among commentaries by professors and historians.
The wealth of Swedish footage owes in part to the Panthers' desire to see their movement as an international one, or one that certainly relied on support from outside the U.S.
It is the Panthers' Embassy in Algeria where Eldridge Cleaver holds court, for example, far from the threat of FBI invasions. Martin Luther King Jr.'s visits to Stockholm to meet King Gustaf VI Adolf that are well preserved, and King's traveling partner Harry Belafonte recalls the meeting.
Some of the earliest footage in the film shows a young Stokely Carmichael speaking in Stockholm in 1967, stating in the simplest terms the recent history of black movement in the U.S., carefully stepping beyond the nonviolent action approach by King.
"In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent has to have a conscience," he points out coolly. "The United States has none."
In some ways, it is the footage of Carmichael, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and honorary "prime minister" for the Panthers, that is the revelation of "The Black Power Mixtape." How suppressed has his voice been over the years, even at a time of black history mining?
It's certainly eye-opening for modern-day commentator Kweli, who exclaims, "He has so much passion and fire inside of him," yet remains quite cool. "He seemed like a regular dude."
After telling reporters in Stockholm, "I'm not as patient as Dr. King," Carmichael takes over a Swedish interview of his own mother in Chicago to get to the point: The family's struggles and limited opportunities can be boiled down to the fact that they are black.
One gets the sense that Swedish journalists enjoyed visiting black ghettos, where they tried to get a taste of life as they paused for interviews with Huey P. Newton and Kathleen Cleaver.
The coverage was noted in the U.S. as well, when TV Guide in a cover story complained about its negativity. Swedish reporters interviewed the story's writer, balancing it with the view of director Emile de Antonio, who dismisses TV Guide as "an absolute nothing magazine."
Officially, Sweden had been so critical of America's role in Vietnam that the U.S. pulled its ambassador from Stockholm in 1968 and ended diplomatic relations with the country altogether for a time in 1972, after Prime Minister Olof Palme compared the bombings of Hanoi with the worst atrocities of Nazis.
Whatever the diplomatic relations, Swedish journalists certainly took the black revolutionaries more seriously and were plainly excited to be the first TV reporters to talk to an imprisoned Angela Davis. Still, because they worked from the same script, the question soon boiled down to: Do you have to use violence to reach your goals? Davis, receiving her first media visitor, was plainly annoyed by this, in just about the only footage that's in color rather than black-and-white.
"When somebody asks me abut violence, I just find it incredible," she says. "What it means is that the people who ask have no idea what people have gone through, what black people have experienced in this country since the time the first black person was kidnapped from the shores of Africa."
The revolutionary tone of the film may provide grist for those on the right who erroneously see PBS as some kind of government-funded left-wing propaganda machine. When was the last time Louis Farrakhan was given a forum to talk about white devils?
But "The Black Power Mixtape" qualifies as a social history of a revolutionary movement, one quashed by a mid-1970s drug infusion to black neighborhoods that film participants are quite sure was caused by the government.
More than that, the modern voices in the film are resolute that lessons of the past need to be learned as the struggle goes on.

Backcross breeding for improved resistance to common bacterial blight in pinto bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. )
Date of this Version
May 2005
Published in Plant Breeding 124, 282—287 (2005).
Common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli reduces common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. ) yield and quality worldwide. Genetic resistance provides effective disease control; however, a high level of resistance is difficult to attain and does not exist in pinto bean, the most important dry bean market class in North America. Our objective was to determine if a backcross breeding approach with the aid of molecular markers linked to quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to CBB in a donor parent could be used to attain higher levels of resistance to CBB in pinto bean. QTL conditioning CBB resistance from the donor parent XAN 159 were introgressed into the recurrent parent 'Chase' using classical backcross breeding and intermittent marker-assisted selection. 'Chase' pinto bean is moderately resistant and the breeding line XAN 159 is highly resistant to Xanthomonas campestris. Marker assays confirmed the presence of independent QTL from GN no. 1 Sel 27 and XAN 159 in advanced backcross-derived pinto bean lines with improved CBB resistance. Agronomic characteristics of 'Chase' were fully recovered in the backcross-derived lines. An important QTL for CBB resistance from XAN 159 on linkage group B6 was not introgressed because tight linkage between this QTL and the dominant V allele that causes an unacceptable black-mottled seed coat color pattern in pinto bean could not be broken.

Hi Everyone/Lurker's Intro
Hi All,
I've officially joined your forum, after lurking for a while and deciding that there's a lot of stuff to be learned here. I'm not sure how this all works yet so if I post in the wrong place or mess up let me know.
I've been playing with guitars and synths on and off for a while, but have never had any lessons so this is where I came to learn to play properly and understand music theory. Until recently I've been playing in Open C tuning on a 7string which I used because I like heavy music, but I want to learn music theory for guitar and that means learning in standard first. As a guitarist, I suspect I'm a frustrated keyboard player, because when i sit down to play I love endless arpeggio loops with a drum machine and tapping patterns for hours on end. There's a real zen element to playing like this for me and I feel like its a valid form of musical expression, but I want to know what else I can do with the instrument. I'm happy to have found lessons from the beginning and it's great to find a teacher who focuses on the very very basics. I've put alternate tunings, 7-strings and effects away for now, and I'm re-learning to play from the beginning on a basic strat through a clean channel. Wish me luck!
See you all in the forums :-)

Good luck! This comes late but better late than never. It must be an eyeopening experience to change from a roaring B or A string (drop the B string like a hero) growl to a pesky clean sound. But that's how it goes. For me a 7 string is a nice thing to have, since you can keep your standard six string tuning and then go to the nether regions at will. Of course you didn't have a standard tuning so the step "down" might be a but more radical. But anyway the best of luck to you in learning the six string and know, there's plenty of strings in that too!

Welcome! The more guitar fanatics, the better...
Cool. I have had a few seven strings, and even recently picked up a 9 string. I have a couple of Chapman Sticks that I just love also, well one in my posession and an aluminum railboard that is on order. I am pretty stoked about it. Stick is fun. Probably my biggest obsession right now...
The 9 string guitar, well I am not to sure what to really do with it, most just kind of do the one finger flog thing in a drop tuning. I really like what Animals as Leaders does... I have to get it outfitted with better pickups, the Ibanez ones are trash.
That being said, yeah the 6 string still has a lot to say I think.
RE: Hi Everyone/Lurker's Introin PB Guitarstudio FORUMS Sun Aug 31, 2014 2:31 pm

Man those chapman sticks are almost like a learning new instrument so are the 9 string guitars. I've played some 8 strings (as in trying not owned) and they are ok, not as hard to get used to, as people may think, but mostly I stick with the 6 shooter for now, but now that you mentioned that 9 string......
Of course the potential in any extra string will open up all kinds of crazy inversions but it is true that the one finger flog thing in drop tuning seems to be the main thing that occupies the time when more strings appear! Perhaps some unknown player emerges and shows the potential sooner or later.
Tosin Abasi is really good player and he does open up the possibilities of how versatile an 8 string can be! Perhaps he will start to use a 9 stringer?
I don't know what it is with Ibanez putting cheapo pickups in to their good axes? I would think that they would have some experience by now to know that it is not something that the buyer wants to find out and then has to put up with the extra work and pay.

Hi Scottulus and Mr Gurgle
Nice to meet you guys :)
I don't even know what a chapman stick is!
Ive been playing exclusively in standard since I joined here and I'm slowly getting used to it. Started learning the CAGED system as per PB method and its great! I'm very much a beginner so everything is awesome to me right now lol.
Hope to see you guys around!

Nice to meet you too Ivan!
If you are interested to see what the Chapman stick looks like, I think Scottulus has one on his channel! It is basically a tap style string instrument. Both hands tap on the fretboard (think Stanley Jordan on the guitar, except added strings and range).
Good luck to you on your practicing and playing. Guitar is an awesome instrument and PB is a really good and thorough teacher. Info that you can now get easily is just priceless. Just stick with it and it pays dividends.

The shortstop Andrelton Simmons punished with two home runs and the Los Angeles Angels won 7-8 at the Houston Astros.
Simmons (3) disappeared the ball in the second episode, with no runners ahead, and in the seventh he did with two men in circulation and finished with five RBIs.
The beneficiary with the attack of Simmons was the relay Jim Johnson (0-2) in two thirds of entry to accept four hits and two runs.
The Astros lost with reliever Joe Smith (1-1) in one inning, accepted three hits, home runs and four runs.

We can't get enough… Or we can? Everywhere we walk around, we find one or even many overwhelming our sight. Some draw attention because of the colourcombo. Some because of what is written. Some others draw attention because of their wicked designs. Some because there are so many. Though it is very annoying to get it off its surface, but it is cheap and a simple way to bomb the city with your sticky paper !
Sticker bombing, sticker tagging, sticker slapping… different terms to define the multitude of stickers or slap-up's, yet another very common threat of the city. Not necessarily the walls become victim but ALL kind of surfaces from signboards to streetlights, from public elevators to electricitycabines… It is one of the techniques within the worldwidestreetartweb to express yourself !
Having its roots in the brandingworld, several artists started to use this simple, clean and cheap version of sticky papers in the streets as a sign they passed that place. But not only this graffiti-rooted proof-of-evidence was a reason to stick, a reaction against that same advertizement world and in general a critique towards society, got defined as «subvertizing». Which combines subversive and advertising to ridicule the established world with wicked symbols and a variety of political slogans. You can collect labels from delivery companies, airlines, post offices or simply get your «Hello my name is…» stickers and do it yourself. One thing is for sure, you are never alone. Every piece that pops up, will be soon surrounded by many more!
A very known one, we already highlighted with his famous stencils, is OBEY. He wrote a whole essay in the whereabouts and whyabouts he did what he needed to do. His DIY-philosophy inspires many to try out since he himself began drawing slogans on (sticky) papers and shirts. A very famous symbol that marks his punky attitude: «Andre the Giant has a Posse».
Another famous one, you might have seen somewhere somehow but maybe not as conscious, is the French-though-based-in-Italy street artist CLET Abraham. Unlike others, his stickers only come alive when produced on street signs. Florence, Milan, Rome… were the first cities he attacked, and very soon after many more in the whole wide world. Though he is at all times respectfull to what he interacts with, since the stickers are easily removable.
So back to the DIY process:
You can print them low-cost in a copyshop or print them at home on some adhesive labels. Or you can create your own using all sticky paper you can find !
- prepare yourself with some cutting tools, some markers, some paint or spray
- create your design on paper or in photoshop
- get sticker paper
- be wild
- and ofcourse stick them around or exchange packages with likeminded sticky souls all over the world.
If you did get yourself into a sticky situation… we would love to hear ALL about it ; ) Share your results and/or tips & tricks on our (#yesyoucanspray) facebookpage !

When you decide to upgrade your ride to one that gets better gas mileage or has less mileage on the engine, you need to decide what to do with your old car. While you can trade it into the dealer to get a better price on the next car that you buy or donate it to a charity to get a deduction when you file your taxes, you'll probably want to make some extra cash and sell it yourself. Selling your car often helps you get more than you would get from a trade deal. Before you meet with buyers though, there are a few things you should do.
Get an Inspection
Buyers often have a number of questions before buying a used car like when you last changed the oil and how old the tires are in case you need to buy used tires. They may want to know more about your maintenance records and whether there are any problems with the vehicle too. When you visit your local auto repair shop Carpentersville IL mechanics can give that vehicle a thorough inspection that reveals any problems with it. Those mechanics can give you written proof of the inspection that you can show to buyers too.
Check the Value
If you look at used cars for sale online, you'll quickly find that some buyers have no idea how to list cars. These ads show vehicles that are 10+ years old with more than 100,000 miles on the engine that buyers want $5,000 or more for, which no one will pay. Those ads sit online for weeks without getting a single call. When it comes time to list your own vehicle, you need to find out exactly how much it is worth. Use a value guide and take into account the trim style, age, mileage and general condition of the car when setting its price.
Give It a Good Cleaning
Have you ever looked at a car for sale and found trash littering the backseat and a thick layer of dust on the exterior? Buyers want vehicles that are in good condition and may walk away from a sale just because of some dust. If you do not want to pay for professional cleaning, take your car to the car wash and pay for a full wash of the outside before using a vacuum to clean out the interior. You may want to use odor elimination products for car dealers to eliminate any odors in the car too.
Whether you advertise your car for sale online or in the local paper, you need to take care of some things before meeting with buyers. Make sure that you clean the vehicle, know exactly what it is worth and get a complete inspection.

Friday night was a very long night if you were a Notre Dame fan. It was even longer if you were waiting for a phone call from an NFL team. Going into Friday evening 16 former ND Football players sat and watched the NFL Draft with hopes of getting that phone call. Jerry Tillery has already been to Los Angeles and has done his media introduction. Jerry was also able to catch up with former teammate Isaac Rochell who met him at the door.
The wait for the phone call came in late on Friday night for one of Notre Dame's favorite Wide Receiver's, Miles Boykin. With the 93rd pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens picked up a steal late in the third round. The wait is over for Miles Boykin. The Ravens traded up to get the great Wide receiver.
Oh BOY(KIN)!!!
Miles Boykin has one of those names you can do a lot with. We loved using Oh Boykin! Miles made some many great plays that this phrase just rose to the top. Boykin really stepped into the spotlight at the end of the 2017/2018 season at the Citrus Bowl on New Year's Day. Down 17-14 the Irish needed a miracle and a miracle was delivered by Ian Book to Miles Boykin. A 55 yard touchdown reception was just what Irish fans were praying for. The Irish beat LSU on that play 21-17. The post game interview here. By the way he was named Citrus Bowl MVP.
Miles By The Numbers (Sr Year)
- Led team during the regular season with 803 receiving yards on 54 catches and eight TDs
- Had at least one TD catch in six straight games (STAN, VT, PITT, NAVY, NW, FSU), the longest such streak by an Irish WR since Will Fuller in 2014
- Eclipsed 100 receiving yards in three games and had two games with multiple TD catches
- Snared 11 receptions for 144 yards and a score against Stanford
- Made a pair of TD catches among eight receptions for 117 yards at No. 24 Virginia Tech
- Had four catches and two TD grabs against Navy
Congratulation to Miles Boykin and best wishes to him at the next level. #NFLBouND Cheers and Go Irish! ☘🏈⚡

The United States is not as united as you think; each state has its own compliance obligations, which makes your business a foreign entity in the other 49.
Our US expert looks at foreign qualification for US compliance.
A US corporation, limited liability company or other statutory business entity is a "domestic" entity in only one state – its formation state. A business entity is considered a "foreign" entity in all other states. Every US state has the power to prohibit foreign entities from doing business within their borders – or to permit them to do business only if they comply with certain conditions the states deem necessary.
Every state has taken advantage of this power by enacting foreign qualification provisions in their state business entity laws. Entities must comply with these provisions in order to receive authority to transact business in a foreign state and to have access to the state's courts.
It is common for business entities to conduct activities in, or have contacts with, states outside of their formation states. When this occurs, qualification may be necessary, but it can be a difficult determination.
Qualification is the procedure by which a statutory business entity receives the authority to transact business in a state other than its formation state. It is a relatively straightforward process that builds upon the entity's primary formation obligations in its home state.
In general, the business entity pays a fee and files a document with the state business entity filing office, usually the secretary of state's office. Upon authorisation, the entity receives a certificate or other evidence, allowing it to do business as a qualified foreign entity in the state.
The filed document is generally known as an application for authority. Typically, it consists of a short form that asks only for certain basic information about the entity, such as legal name, jurisdiction of formation and office and director details.
In most states, this application must be accompanied by proof of formation in the home state. Generally, a certificate of existence must be filed to meet this requirement, providing evidence from the formation state that the entity has been validly formed and is up-to-date in filing the reports and paying the taxes required to stay in good standing.
Once qualified, the entity will be subject to other compliance requirements, most notably the maintenance of a registered agent and the filing of an information report.
A foreign entity that transacts business in a state without qualification is subject to penalties. Often, a monetary penalty is imposed on the entity for each year that it should have been qualified. For example, California imposes a $20 per day penalty on entities that failed to qualify.
But it may not end there. Under some state statutes, individual officers or agents doing business on behalf of the non-complying entity may be fined. A state may also collect all fees and taxes the foreign entity would have owed had it qualified when required to, plus interest, and in some cases additional fines.
The foreign qualification provisions could also prohibit a foreign business entity conducting intrastate businesses from bringing a suit or proceeding in the state's courts until it qualifies. This is referred to as a "door closing" provision. The guiding principle is that a foreign entity should not benefit from the aid of a state's courts in enforcing its rights when it is (a) violating state law and (b) not paying its fair share - unlike the state's domestic and qualified foreign entities.
Typically, if an entity has a physical location and/or employees on the payroll outside of its home state of formation, it may be doing business as a foreign entity.
An Internet-based business, which engages in interstate commerce, may not need to foreign qualify in other states if its physical locations and employees are only located in its home state of formation. It is also important to be aware that the nexus for tax purposes is not necessarily equivalent to the need to qualify as a foreign entity.
The benefits of conducting business activities across state lines are numerous for many entities, but compliance complexity increases with this expanded business reach. Every state has the power to impose conditions upon foreign business entities before allowing them to do business within its borders. A business that does not comply with these provisions does so at its own peril.

Press Release
Justice Department Recognizes Human Trafficking Survivor and Advocate from Washington with Special Courage Award
Owner of Salvage Company was Informed of Oil on Barge and Failed to Act before Salvage; then Ignored Leaks, failing to Report them to Authorities
The Ellensburg, Washington man responsible for a $22 million oil clean up and salvage operation on the Columbia River was sentenced today to four months in prison, eight months of home detention, 100 hours of community service and three years of supervised release, announced U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. BRET A. SIMPSON, 53, the owner of Principle Metals, LLC, pleaded guilty in July 2012 to two criminal violations of the Clean Water Act; failing to report a discharge of oil, and unlawfully discharging oil into the Columbia River near Camas, Washington. At sentencing U.S. District Judge Benjamin H. Settle told him, "it has to be known that when you undertake a responsibility that has the potential to ruin an ecosystem you're going to bear the consequences."
"This defendant's singular focus on maximizing his profits, at the expense of even minimal environmental safeguards, cost taxpayers millions of dollars," said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. "Mr. Simpson exhibited no regard for the likelihood that his misguided salvage efforts could, and in fact did, lead to an environmental emergency that was only partially averted by a massive federal and state response."
With his guilty plea SIMPSON admitted that he was informed about oil left on the 'Davy Crockett' barge before salvage operations began. However, SIMPSON failed to have the oil removed before workers started cutting up the metal barge. When the first oil spill occurred in early December 2010, SIMPSON failed to notify authorities and failed to take adequate steps to monitor the vessel or protect it from natural forces and further structural damage. Subsequent spills in January 2011 led U.S. Coast Guard investigators to identify the 'Davy Crockett' as the source and initiate a federally funded cleanup effort. Ultimately the U.S. Coast Guard and state authorities spent eight months and approximately $22 million to clean up the spill and remove the derelict barge from the river.
"Today Mr. Simpson is being held accountable for his criminal acts," said Rear Adm. Keith A. Taylor, Commander of the 13th Coast Guard District. "The next step is holding him accountable for the more than $22 million spent from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund during the extensive, Coast Guard led, multi-agency cleanup. We continue to work closely with the Department of Justice on all aspects of this case. The Coast Guard is committed to protecting the maritime environment of the Pacific Northwest and our nation. Actions like Mr. Simpson's will not be tolerated."
"Paying a serious price for environmental crime is unfortunately not new for Defendant Simpson," said Tyler Amon, Special Agent-in-Charge for the U.S. EPA's Criminal Investigation Division in Seattle. "His negligence degraded the Columbia River, created a hazard to navigation and cost more than $22 million to clean up. His sentencing today should serve as notice to irresponsible vessel owners who doubt our resolve to vigorously pursue and prosecute environmental crimes."
The M/V Davy Crockett is a former U.S. Navy ship that had been converted to a flat deck barge. SIMPSON's company planned to cut the barge apart and sell the metal for scrap. SIMPSON assembled a crew to begin dismantling the M/V Davy Crockett at its place of moorage in the Columbia River in October 2010. He made no arrangements to remove the fuel oil and diesel fuel from the vessel before the scrapping operation began. On December 1, 2010, a member of the scrapping crew cut into a structural beam of the barge, and the ship began breaking apart and leaking oil. Neither SIMPSON nor anyone else with Principle Metals LLC notified authorities about the leak. The scrapping operation was halted.
SIMPSON initially addressed the oil release by ceasing all scrapping operations, procuring a boom to limit the release of oil into the Columbia River, and directing an employee to monitor vessel conditions. The employee monitored vessel conditions for approximately one week following the initial release before being relieved of his employment. SIMPSON took no further steps to monitor the ship, or the boom, and took no steps to protect the barge from further structural damage. On January 19, 2011, an accumulation of debris next to the barge forced it to move, and additional oil was released. The Coast Guard responded to the additional movement of the barge, and issued an administrative order for SIMPSON to remove any remaining visible oil from machinery spaces and deck tubes together with other salvage debris from the vessel. SIMPSON complied and authorities believed the barge no longer posed an environmental danger. However on January 27, 2011, additional oil was released from the vessel and state and federal authorities immediately responded in an effort to limit environmental damage.
Detailed timeline of the clean up and material removed from the water is available here: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/spills/incidents/DavyCrockett/DavyCrockett.html
The case was investigated by the Environmental Protection Agency Criminal Investigation Division (EPA-CID), the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service, the Washington State Department of Ecology, and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney James Oesterle and Special Assistant United States Attorney Lieutenant Commander Marianne Gelakoska of the U.S. Coast Guard. Mr. Oesterle heads the U.S. Attorney's Office working group on environmental crimes.

Hero Super Cup: ATK Defeats Real Kashmir to Book Quarter-Final Spot
ISL side ATK defeated I-league's Real Kashmir FC side 3-1 in the Hero Super Cup pre-quarterfinals played at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar.
With two late goals, ATK beat a resilient Real Kashmir FC side 3-1 in the Hero Super Cup pre-quarterfinals played at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar.
Trending Now
The victory has set up ATK for a quarter-final clash against Delhi Dynamos FC on April 5.
You may like to read
ATK started the match on Monday with a lot of purposes and almost unlocked the Real Kashmir defence with barely two minutes on the clock. Manuel Lanzarote played in Edu Garcia with a lovely waited through ball, but the Spaniard's final effort sailed over the bar.
The ATK midfield seemed to be dominating the proceedings early on, but Real Kashmir made sure they gave the Kolkata-based side a stern reminder of the danger they pose on the eighth minute. Completely against the flow of the match, Mason Robertson showed his own passing prowess, setting up Koffi Tetteh with room to run in behind the advanced ATK defence. With just Debjit Majumdar in the ATK goal to beat, the striker scuffed his shot wide.
The chance, however, acted as a confidence booster of the Real Kashmir side as they started being a lot more adventurous from then on. Robertson was the central figure for the Snow Leopards, strutting forward at will and even drew a decent save from Debjit.
However, it was ATK who would go on to break the deadlock on the 26th minute. Edu found Lanzarote down the right wing and the ATK captain played in a hopeful ball inside the Real Kashmir box on the half turn. Real Kashmir defender Aaron Katebe was caught ball watching at the far post, as Balwant Singh out-jumped him to bury his header inside the goal past a helpless Bilal Husain Khan.
It took Real Kashmir just five minutes to hit back. Abhash Thapa carried the ball forward with intent and fed Robertson on the edge of the ATK box. The Scotsman set himself up and fired in a precise low shot from range to beat Debjit at full stretch.
Both sides traded a few half chances for till the half-time whistle, with ATK getting better opportunities. But there was nothing to separate the two sides going into the break. The scoreboard read 1-1, with everything to play for in the second 45 minutes.
The second-half was a cagey affair with both teams trying their best to seize the initiative but failed to create any big chances in a match primarily dominated by two very well-drilled defences. Most of ATK's goal threats came through set pieces, while Real Kashmir looked to break forward and hit their opponents on the counter.
As the match wore on, both head coaches started looking at their bench for inspiration and Real Kashmir gaffer David Robertson was the first to blink, bringing on Surchandra Singh in place of Ritwik Kumar Das.
Steve Coppell's spark of inspiration was, however, already on the field for ATK. It was none other than Lanzarote, who time and again, has delivered for his team when they needed him the most. A corner kick routine straight off the training ground saw Edu pick out Lanzarote on the edge of the box. The Spaniard hit it first-time and placed the ball perfectly past Bilal to make it 2-1 on the 79th minute.
The goal prompted a change from ATK, with Everton Santos coming on for the provider of the second goal, Edu. The Brazilian substitute took just seconds to register his name on the score-sheet. Taking advantage of a mistimed header by Katebe, Santos controlled the ball just outside the 16-yard box and beat Bilal with a low shot to make it 3-1 in favour of the ATK.
Real Kashmir threw everything at the opposition in an effort to find a way back into the match, but a disciplined display in the final minutes by ATK was enough to see off Real Kashmir's cavalry charge.

Ideally, you want a design that converts well and matches the marketing plan. But how to do this? Designers are hard to deal with, their work is something they hold on to, and you need to find the right reasons to convince them to let go.

Sometimes the decision is made only by the marketing team and the client. In this case, it's possible to have impossible to implement requirements regarding the design. For example, too much content above the fold for a site that is minimalist with lots of white space. If that's the case, expect your designers to react with statements like "this doesn't make sense" or "we can't just put all of this there."
What is the perfect balance between the two? Communication, communication, communication.
The Marketing and Design Teams Must Work Together from Day One
Take both the marketing team and, at the very least, the design lead with you on client meetings. By doing this, you can bypass many of the problems later on. Doing this will also give a feel of ease to the designers. To them it's much better to have your marketing team happy with your result as that will lead to fewer revisions. That sense of ease happens naturally thanks to clearly defined goals that both teams share.
Inner meetings between the two teams are also very welcome before the prototype stage. If possible try to create rough sketches of what components go where and write a list of clear goals. Here is a list of example goals that your designers will appreciate:
- "A large headline with a central focus on a CTA above the fold for the primary service."
- "One-page experience with all possible information and clear section separation."
- "Feel of home, warmth, traditions through images and happy faces."
Point 1: Tell the designers that you want a homepage with an initial "Welcome" section with lots of white space. Maybe a few graphics, interesting large bold font and a big screaming call to action with maybe some extra information. The end goal is to make the user click this button before continuing with the page. If that is not the case, the designer can provide smaller headline with basic intro information that leads you down the page.
Point 2: This sentence means that the primary focus is on the homepage. You won't be serving all that much information to second level pages. The designer will know to create at least ten different sections with various layouts. Experienced designers will also know to provide more areas for CTAs across the page that they can move around depending on the provided content. With these requirements, the designers will also know to provide as many options as they can for various types of content.
Point 3: This guideline will inform the designer that you are focusing your marketing plan on a group of people that value a specific kind of emotion. The different usage of colors and images might change the approach of the design team. Different layouts, different sections, the hierarchy between elements, white space and so on. This sentence alone will also inform them that they shouldn't go for too ordinary of day to day fonts, but for something more elegant.
A brief goal like this is always helpful. If something is unclear, the two teams must discuss it properly and redefine it. It's crucial to be on the same page with these types of requirements as that will reduce greatly the number of revisions. In addition, you will keep your teams more focused and happier, which in turn produces better results in less time.
Okay, but How Do You Make the Designers Listen?
This one might be a bit hard in some cases. Some designers are very protective of their products. They have great knowledge of harmony, color theory, balance and much more, in addition to years of experience, so telling them that something isn't good won't cut it. You need good arguments to back up your feedback.
*What works best?*
Provide a few links with marketing researchers, examples with big brands and the fact that you don't request from them to make their design ugly, but to modify it in another beautiful way, which will sell even better.
Your designers must be very aware of the fact, that just because something looks good it doesn't mean it sells. Positioning, wording, hierarchy and the main goal can be determined by the marketing team. How exactly all of this fits together in a harmonious way comes from the design team, and this must be well understood by everyone involved. Understanding and respect for both teams' skills are fundamental to the success of the project.
Ego is often the main villain. A professional team will leave their egos at home and work together to deliver high-quality work based on years of experience of with marketing specialists and highly creative designers. Working with only one of the two will result in failure sooner or later.
How to Provide Information to the Design Team?
As a marketing person, your job is to define the copy. The designers should not bother with this (and they won't do it if you tell them to most of the time). There are countless articles and books written on how to write the best title, define your CTAs, or how to make a visitor take action. That knowledge is not among the requirements for a designer.
By the time, you have defined the primary positioning of the content, a rough prototype should be ready. It won't contain any information. The designer, at this point, can look for inspiration on the general look and feel, play around with the color schemes, decide which fonts to use or where to place the buttons.
It would be best for the designers if they could start working on the whole design using real content. A document listing everything that needs to be put in is ideal. By doing this, they will know what kind of images are required to fit and what spacings are needed to fit the text there. If there isn't enough content, a different layout for the section might be required.
All of these decisions are made based on the content provided. With this, you can see the reason why most designers don't like working on a landing page without having the content present. When you make them work without content, it's very likely you will not like the end result. If that happens, don't blame it on the design team.
Always communicate together
If, as a designer, you're not sure what would be best in a certain case – ask the marketing team. Designers often have a good sense of when something isn't right. They've learned a lot about visual hierarchy and balance between elements. This kind of feedback should also be given to the marketing team.
Example of this: Three long paragraphs of text are provided for a listing in a single section. This will happen only if the text is divided into two columns, but then it won't look even. The designers often can come with ideas like, "Okay, let's show a small box listing similar articles." This idea is something completely different, but at the end of the day the whole product will look more balanced, it will show more information and potentially convert even better.
Another case scenario: The requirement is to build a landing page that separates into three core products. You start and end the page with this huge section, and have a lot of proof to "Why do I need this?" in the middle. Then you have three pages for each of the products with their names. The designer's idea is to separate each one of them with different colors. From this, the marketing team gets the idea to request different icons based on these colors to create marketing campaigns and update the copy itself.
Both teams are creative. Designers build something beautiful from white canvas. Marketing people develop ideas, strategies and produce a copy from a white piece of paper. Both teams are similar; both come up with ideas, and both need to work together through the whole process.
Here at DevriX, we've found that close collaboration between the design and marketing team significantly increases the quality of the initial drafts – which allow us to provide results to the clients much faster. When both teams work tightly together, we can provide rock solid decisions and clear marketing strategy that's fluently represented through the whole product.
