While there have been many tributes onstage at the Nipsey Hussle memorial service taking place at Los Angeles' Staples Center today, there are many more within the event's program. Tributes from Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, YG, the Game and athletes such as Russell Westbrook and James Harden are included in the program.
Jay-Z wrote:
"Renown[ed] late Professor Dr. Howard Thurman introduced us – many years ago – to the existence of a new black man …..
"'…. there is something in every one of us that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in ourselves and that IT is the only true guide that we would ever have. And that if we cannot hear it, we will all of our lives spend our days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls!'"
"'Top of the top," this is how Nip always greeted me in the morning as if he was reminding me that he was steadfastly holding on to the top of the top of his own life string and destiny!
"So, Top of the top – Nip
"The world just got to see a flash of your brilliance.
"You were a curious soul who was evolving at a speed that was truly inspiring.
"The seeds you have planted are already bearing fruit.
"The outpouring of admiration is testimony to the love and respect you've farmed.
"Sleep well King, The Marathon continues as a line of energy for all of us to consider.
Fellow South L.A. native Lamar, who is featured on Hussle's song "Dedication," remembered working with the rapper early in his career.
"In 2009, I remember trekking cities alongside Nipsey and family. Both performing as opening acts on The Game LAX tour. Our sprinter van trailed their mobile home from state to state.
"Though I was there as support for my brother Jay Rock, Nipsey greeted me as one of his own. And that was very commendable. Casually, I would go out to the crowd and listen to the substance he spewed on stage. Thinking to myself, this is the type of talent I want to be a part of. His charisma and way with words was powerful. But his integrity as a person made me even more enthused.
"I watched a young, ambitious black male orchestrate fellowship amongst the men around him on that tour. Determined to execute one thing—and that was Greatness. Greatness in knowledge, greatness in wealth, and greatness in self. My curiosity about who he really was started to grow from that moment in time. Was he a product of Crenshaw and Slauson? Was he a radical? Or was he a thinker? That mystique kept me engaged throughout his life and career. The years progressed, and my admiration grew from up close and from afar. Watching his interviews, his philosophies, and his work amongst the black community.
"Time surely revealed itself. I realized Nipsey was all of those perspectives. But most importantly, he was a vessel from God. As my heart aches for him and his family, I understand that the Most High doesn't make mistakes. I pray that Ermias Foundation continues to blossom. I pray for those who trespass against it.
"A true King will be tested in adversity. To stand in fearlessness in what he believes will impact on the earth, as well as in heaven. So thank you Nipsey the Radical. Nipsey the Thinker. Nipsey the Father. Nipsey the Brother. Nipsey the Husband. Nipsey the Friend. Nipsey the Great. And from now on, Nipsey the Messenger……Shalom."

NTU researcher among the 'Top 50 Women in Engineering'
NTU researcher Professor Eiman Kanjo has been named among the Top 50 Women in Engineering by The Women's Engineering Society (WES).
The WES has revealed the list as part of International Women in Engineering Day 2022 to celebrate women who demonstrate the creation or improvement of a product or process that makes a difference.
Eiman, Professor of Pervasive Sensing and Head of the Smart Sensing Lab in NTU's School of Science and Technology, researches topics including mobile sensing, edge computing, data science and technology for wellbeing.
Under the leadership of Professor Kanjo, her team at NTU won a 2021 Vice-Chancellor's Outstanding Research Award. Professor Kanjo is also the Award Lead of the new NTU-Turing Data Science Network funded by the Alan Turing Institute.
For 2022, the WES, in association with The Guardian and Ball Corporation, a global supplier of sustainable packaging, invited nominations on numerous factors, including their ability to support and combat climate change, work as an advocate for women in STEM, their drive to make a difference within the engineering industry and achieving beyond what would normally be expected.
The number and standard of nominations were high, emphasising the exceptional achievements made by women in this field. The WE50 awards were judged by a panel of industry experts.
This year more than ever, female engineers are applying themselves to sustainability and creating a built environment that is kinder to the natural world.
Female engineers are working hard to combat global CO2 emissions by creating products that monitor, capture and reduce carbon emissions, as well as developing energy solutions to decarbonise entire countries.
At the heart of many of the projects featured in this year's list are those that help us to be more eco-friendly, whether it be infrastructure, transport systems and all types of equipment that help us to be more sustainable.
Professor Kanjo said: "My hope is that engineers and technologists, female and male, play a more prominent role in shaping the world's future. We design and develop systems that respond to local communities' needs and we work hand in hand with end users' organisations to understand what we can do.
"I am so grateful to WES for this award, and to my family and my late father who always believed in me and encouraged me to be the engineer I am. Also thank you to all the people who have supported me over the years, including my brilliant Smart Sensing team and colleagues at NTU, without whom this would not have been possible."
Elizabeth Donnelly, CEO of WES, said: "Once again WES is delighted to celebrate the achievements of women engineers. It's a joy that so many innovative women are making a difference to our everyday lives and working to mitigate the impact that engineering has on the environment."

Easy Tips for How-To Host Your First Housewarming Party!
Once you've moved into your new house, the next step is to start making it a home. And one great way to do that is to host a Housewarming Party! Make it a joint celebration of family members and old buddies getting to see where you now live, plus neighbors who you hope will become new found friends. Here are our tips for planning a fun and easy-to-host event especially made for first-time hosts! Plus, decorating inspiration for an effortless pulled-together look! (*this post contains affiliate links)
Easy Tips for Hosting Your First Housewarming Party
- Decide on an attractive, yet simple theme to pull your party look together. You want to have a unified effect, not a hodge podge (even if you may have just unpacked and moved in). We chose sample party finds below with the theme "Home Sweet Home"!
- Send out your invitations 3 weeks to a month in advance. Be sure to include your complete new address, contact number, and directions to your home. You can opt for actual cards to be delivered or mailed, or just send evites. But do remember that everyone is busy and would appreciate enough advance notice.
- Housewarming gifts are no longer a must. Focus instead on showing off your home to old friends and new neighbors.Nowadays, it's no longer expected that guests will bring gifts for the housewarming hosts. And the former practice of enrolling in a gift registry for the home might be considered a tad tacky! If some invitees ask ahead what you need, assure them that it isn't necessary.
- Decorate your new place with themed accents to make guests feel at home. Echoing your chosen theme, put up a welcome sign, hang a party garland, set out pretty house plants and flower arrangements, and prepare a creative alternative guest book (a great way to gather everyone's addresses, and maybe recipes too!).
- Set up a buffet table, sideboard or counter for guests to help themselves to finger foods, bite-size treats, and handy drinks.Unless you're prepared to serve a sit-down meal, schedule your housewarming party for brunch time or for mid-afternoon snack time. That way, you can keep the food and drinks light, simple, and self-serve. The less hassle, clutter and clean-up for you, the better!
- If you'll have family members or BFFs among your guests, a potluck party might be a good option. They'll surely understand that you could use the extra help with the food, and they get to show off a favorite dish, dessert or drink recipe!
- Provide enough seating, but leave room for guests to move around and mingle. Have some extra stackable stools on hand that you can set out as needed, or keep neatly tucked away if guests prefer to stand.
- Have 1 or 2 fun housewarming activities or games with simple prizes. One great idea could be to have a "recipe swap" (mentioned ahead in your invites), where a box of blank recipe cards serves as an alternative guest book. You'll remember who came by the recipes that fill the box! Another could be a guessing or trivia game on details about your move or the house itself.
- If some guests are neighbors you are meeting for the first time, be sure to take this chance to get to know them better. Find out basic information about them, their family members (children? pets?), and helpful info about living in the area. Extend an invitation for them to stop by again.
- Surprise guests with housewarming gifts or party favors from you to them! Give something fun and home-related. A pretty potted succulent each? A home-baked treat? Tea towels or coasters tied with ribbon? Refrigerator magnets? A spare light bulb each (definitely practical)? Anything to have them leave your housewarming party with a smile!
Housewarming Party Decorating Ideas
We chose the theme "Home Sweet Home" as the focus of our featured finds. See how just a few key elements can give your party a pulled-together look no matter what theme you go with!
It all starts with a colorful housewarming party invitation (1) that gives advance notice of your theme, color scheme, and your new address of course! Then, take the easy approach to instant decorating with a package of party printables (2) in a complementary color scheme. These can dress up your front door, walls, mantel, and the buffet table of finger foods and treats.
Speaking of treats, set out frosted cupcakes (store-bought is fine!) trimmed with pretty cutout toppers (3) and housewarming-themed sugar cookies (4) for guests to help themselves while they mingle. Then for a party activity AND alternative guest book in one, have a box of blank recipe cards (5) for guests to share their recipes, leave little notes for you, and jot down their own addresses, too!
Finally, send everyone off with "reverse housewarming gifts"! Items like these lovely succulents in vintage tea tins (6) that will remind them of your new home as it graces theirs.

The Prague Post, 20 June 2007
Poll: Kids need stricter discipline
Survey shows 25 percent of parents support corporal punishment in schools
By Jana Donovan
For The Prague Post
While that's increasingly a dilemma for many young parents, a new survey shows that many Czechs, long seen as strict with children, still favor corporal punishment as a tried-and-true method in raising kids.
A recent poll by Median agency for the daily Mladá fronta Dnes revealed that 25 percent of the public not only supports corporal punishment but backs its use in schools, where it has long been banned.
"The poll results show that we still fall behind advanced countries in terms of cultural and social development," says Milo Kajuk, a psychologist who works with both teachers and students. "In Western Europe, if you hit a child in public, you practically have to move out of the country. Corporal punishment may have been widely used in the past, but it is not acceptable nowadays."
However, some Czech parents clearly disagree -- and are pushing to enable teachers to spank their kids for them.
A quick look at the Mladá fronta Dnes Web site is revealing. "My daughter came home from the school complaining that her teacher slapped her. When I found out that she deserved it, I slapped her two more times for good measure," wrote Jindrich K. on the site. The father said he later contacted the teacher himself, giving her permission to spank his daughter if she misbehaves.
Lacking discipline
Yet, Jindrich K.'s story isn't indicative of most parents, even if sour mommies can be seen on any stroll through a Prague playground.
Libuše Tomášková, second from right, says students weren't totally opposed to punishment, but felt some teachers could abuse it.
Though the survey did not specifically address teachers' opinions, those contacted by The Prague Post wholly disapproved of corporal punishment. But they also complain that they don't have sufficient means to punish misbehaving students, and say many parents are simply not interested in disciplining their children.
Indeed, while a minority of the poll's 636 respondents support corporal punishment, the majority agrees that better means of punishing students are necessary. Three-fifths say teachers should have the right to punish students by giving them extra homework, making them stay late after school or having them clean up. None of these punishments is allowed.
Many teachers also complain that children are becoming increasingly aggressive. "Speaking rudely to teachers, propping their legs up on tables, provocations ... I experienced all of that at the elementary school where I taught," says Karel Lasík, a young teacher at Marjánka elementary in Prague. "Still, I would not blame the kids. The atmosphere at the school was bad because teachers and the school leadership were unable to communicate not only with the students but also with one another."
Lasík says that a teacher's personality has a major impact on students' conduct.
"It's simple. Not everyone can be a teacher. It's like putting an old lady in front of a group of soldiers," agrees Kajuk, the psychologist. "A teacher must have a personality that naturally commands respect. They must be able to handle kids. And that's not easy."
Furthermore, says Jirí Ružicka, headmaster of Jan Kepler High School in Prague 6, it's hard to keep good teachers at schools because of the teachers' low salary.
Drawing the line
Ružicka says he hates the idea of corporal punishment but that it's important to be able to distinguish between corporal punishment and more innocent gestures. "Just recently, parents of one student complained that a teacher had pulled their son's ear," calling the parents' reaction extreme.
Libuše Tomášková, a senior teacher at Kepler, says she's been able to avoid using corporal punishment her entire career. "I have been at schools where it wasn't necessary. There might be schools where it could be justifiable under certain circumstances."
After she brought up a discussion in her class on whether to allow corporal punishment, the students surprisingly didn't oppose it -- at first. "But later they agreed that some teachers could misuse it," Tomášková adds.
There also appears to be a generation gap in terms of who favors school spankings and who doesn't. According to the poll, most supporters were between 45 and 50 years old, while younger people who have school-age kids were mostly against it.
"Although I can quite understand that a teacher can explode and slap a child, I still would not accept it. A teacher is not a parent and, on the top of that, being slapped in front of the class is a humiliating experience," says Lenka Lorencová, who is the mother of two schoolchildren.
She recalls a friend who withdrew her daughter from school because her teacher slapped her. "I would react the same way," Lorencová says.
Kajuk, for his part, says corporal punishment usually amounts to an emotional failure on the part of the teacher or parent. He says studies show that kids who are beaten by their parents are also aggressive when they are adults.
"My summary is that children have the same human rights as adults do," the psychologist concludes. "So why use corporal punishment on kids if we don't use it on adults?"

Unfortunately this is not a problem that we can wish away.
In a opinion worth reading, philosopher Firmin DeBrabander writes:
(in her book The Human Condition, philosopher Hannah Arendt) offers two points that are salient to our thinking about guns: for one, they insert a hierarchy of some kind, but fundamental nonetheless, and thereby undermine equality. But furthermore, guns pose a monumental challenge to freedom, and particular, the liberty that is the hallmark of any democracy worthy of the name — that is, freedom of speech. Guns do communicate, after all, but in a way that is contrary to free speech aspirations: for, guns chasten speech.
This becomes clear if only you pry a little more deeply into the N.R.A.'s logic behind an armed society. An armed society is polite, by their thinking, precisely because guns would compel everyone to tamp down eccentric behavior, and refrain from actions that might seem threatening. The suggestion is that guns liberally interspersed throughout society would cause us all to walk gingerly — not make any sudden, unexpected moves — and watch what we say, how we act, whom we might offend.
Nassim Taleb chimes in with his thoughts, on a facebook post that's since been removed:
I cannot possibly buy the argument that people need weapons in case the government fails them and democracy breaks down. If the narrative were true, someone over the past 5 years would have taken arms to express frustration with the banking establishment hijacking the political system for self-enrichment –one of the greatest iniquities ever, ever — and other similar lobbyists, instead of using weapons against schoolchildren and college students. The reason we have arms is gun lobby, period.
To repeat the argument against the long peace, a weirdo with a knife can't go far. Just as I don't want to be in a plane with an armed gumnan on board, I don't want weirdos with guns in civil society. Via Negativa: gun control is perhaps one of the very few things the government should do.
Taleb's argument reminds me of Warren Buffett's:
you know, thousands of years ago we had psychotics and we had religious fanatics and we had megalomaniacs. But about the most they could do was throw a stone at somebody if they wished evil on them.
Today, since 1945, the ability to inflict evil, or harm, on other people in huge numbers has grown exponentially. And right now there's the knowledge around to use nuclear material. And we've got to hope that the wrong people don't get their hands on it.
I'll end with the words of Thomas Jefferson on the progress of the human mind:
I am certainly not an advocate for frequent and untried changes in laws and constitutions. I think moderate imperfections had better be borne with; because, when once known, we accommodate ourselves to them, and find practical means of correcting their ill effects. But I know also, that laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy, as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.

Long haired dogs can be very high maintenance when it comes to grooming. If you have a short haired dog, it will need much less time and attention but to keep his skin and hair in good condition, you should groom him at least once a week. Start with a rubber brush to get dead skin , loosened hair and dirt off. Then brush against the hair to look for fleas and ticks. Follow up with a natural bristle brush to distribute his natural oils throughout his coat. Then use a shammy cloth to shine him up. Now you're done! Now you may want to take a minute to check his ears, look inside his mouth, rub his paws and look for anything that seems unusual. When you check him out, he'll feel like he's getting a mini massage.
Remember, your pets count!

Employee satisfaction in the era of Robotics
These days, robots are engaging in various organizations to raise the employee satisfaction. Not only in fiction movies, books and in toy stores but also in a real way, they are improvingthe workplace for the employees. Today, the technology has developed beyond mechanics and motors for including software robots that would assist employees to help them to do the tasks more easily and quickly.
The robots can also perform pre-programmed tasks and can also provide artificial intelligence and machine learning for providing better guidance and learning to them. Various manufacturing industries have designed robots for doing the tasks which are dangerous for humans. Today, Robots have become more sophisticated than earlier.
Now, get certified with robotics process automation certification provided by renowned centers in their training program at various places.
In modern times, various automations are designed for employee convenience, production,and satisfaction. Here are some examples-
- Virtual agents, virtual assistance, and chatbots: These are the non-human software programs which are available in mobile apps or various websites. These programs leverage interaction and provide an answer to the questions asked by humans. Virtual agents are extremely used to improve self-service options and helping people to find extra information or knowledge for a particular need. These functions are often user-friendly and used to reinforce the company's brand identity.
- Desktop automation: This software program is designed to enhance employee productivity, completing tasks more quickly and also helps them to perform data reentry across many systems. Some versions of these systems also guide employees through instructions, tasks, providing important information.
- Robotics process automation– This software performs tasks within the longer processor which is not performed by humans. The system performs repetitive tasks which are often boring for a human to perform such as re-entry across various different systems based on the specific decision.
Why robots?
Robots are considered to raise employees satisfaction because just as organizations continue to invent and evolve cool new gadgets and technologies that will enhance their performance and increase their satisfaction as well, but more in better and fun way, robots can be used in the organizations to handle work to help them to get it done faster. Along with it, they can do work more consistently and accurately with fewer expenses.
There is an even bigger benefit which is that the employees can be shifted from boring and repetitive tasks to more value-added tasks. The new tasks are quite competitive to them and they can learn new skills and gain more knowledge which ultimately helps them to increase their production and satisfaction level.
Role of robotics in assisting employees in each stage of their life cycle–
- Recruitment advantage– The lifecycle of an employee begins with the recruitment stage. Advanced technology like robotics which new recruits are looking for to make their work more efficient and fulfilling too. By engaging new systems which reduced the load of dull and repetitive tasks, new employees can showcase their use of technologies as a basis which provides value to their work.
- Keeping their work interesting– The employees want challenging tasks and opportunities that will not only provide monetary satisfaction but also gives noon monetary advantages. With automation technology, employees are free tofocus their time and energy on work that wants human touch and keep their work more interesting.
- The path to leadership– The employees also want career opportunities and personal development as well. The robotic processes enable them to do the tasks for which they were hired in the organization. This will provide them a feeling of value and satisfaction too. The technology provides them a platform to showcase their capabilities and putting them in the position of a leader.
Workforce benefited from Robotics
- Manufacturing a happy workforce– Manufacturing is the industry that is most benefited from automation. According to the reports, the advanced technology has a positive impact on the employee morale. To ascertain its impact, three conditions were laid down-
- One in which humans were assigned all the tasks
- One in which robots were assigned all the tasks
- Last in which both humans and robots would delegate tasks to one another
The results turn out that the workers claim that the robots better understand them and improved efficiency as well. Therefore, they better prefer to have robots to work with them.
- Healthcare's assembly line– In today's life, many hospitals are making use of Aethon's TUG robots for automation of hospital's supply chain by transferring sheets, meals, medicines to and from patients. Like manufacturing industry, the administration of hospitals also requires experts in their team for constant material movement. For example- a product must get from points A to B to C, with multiple stops and tasks along the way. Thus, TUG robots automate the entire task and specialized employees as well.
Conclusion– No matter, whether it's manufacturing unit or any other industry, maximizing employee satisfaction is always a priority. It is no more secret now that automation is always expected to have a positive effect on employees in coming decades. Due to its profound effects, Robots are welcomed as a valuable team member in many businesses. In the last, we can say that employees see robots as their assistants and for their satisfaction, companies are empowering them.

The automatic mode sometimes mistakes an indented paragraph for a centered paragraph. This only typically occurs when the first line of the paragraph is not filled to the right. When the formatting error occurs, simply pad the line out so that it extends past the fill column and re-apply the formatting.
Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to alleviate this problem, but it occurs infrequently.

We see more vehicle-related accidents caused by plain ignorance, thanks to CCTV cameras and dashcams. We witness motorists intentionally or unintentionally counterflowing, beating the red light, or swerving. Some are even unable to do even basic tasks like parking without causing damage. This is often the result of informal training by unqualified driving instructors like family drivers, relatives, or friends. One of the likely reasons for this is people's unwillingness to spend on formal driving courses.
Well, someone wants to change that. MG Philippines has partnered with Socialites Excellent Driving to offer scholarships geared toward responsible driving. The two companies believe that learning the safe and proper way to drive shouldn't be expensive. Its main objective is to encourage people to join the program to promote safety behind the wheel.
The goal is to help build a better society and country by motivating these individuals to become responsible drivers through this scholarship. This continuous three-year program begins this month. Applicants and students can sign up and begin their training within this period.
To avail this free scholarship program, applicants need to submit the following:
* an application form;
* a résumé for non-student applicants;
* two valid government IDs; and
* a driving student permit.
After the requirements have been submitted, the applicant will be evaluated for the MG Responsible Driving Scholarship, which consists of an orientation, a minimum number of driving hours, and a certification.
Each month, 20 individuals will be chosen to participate in the program. On top of this promising endeavor, the first driving experience of the participants will be in MG cars.
Socialites Excellent Driving was founded in 1969, making it one of the oldest driving schools in the country. It currently has 21 branches in Metro Manila. This program is a step in the right direction to safer roads. Hopefully this encourages more companies to follow the same path, and promote safe and proper driving.

Steve Madden shuffles to new Lincoln Road spot, settles lawsuit
A Lincoln Road property owner's dispute with a former tenant almost cost him a much more lucrative lease deal with shoe retailer Steve Madden, The Real Deal has learned.
Santa Monica resident James Argyropoulos, who owns a two-floor building at 433 Lincoln Road through a company also called 433 Lincoln Road, finalized a deal in May to lease 2,100 square feet of retail space to Steve Madden for nearly $50,000 a month – roughly double what the landlord had been charging jewelry and watch store Mini Mall Gallery, according to court documents obtained by TRD.
However, Mini Mall Gallery owner Roni Mualem refused to move out, insisting he and Argyropoulos had agreed on a lease extension until 2020 and that he would continue paying $23,206 in monthly rent, which is significantly below-market rate, Argyropoulos' attorney William Clayton told TRD. In June, 433 Lincoln Road filed an eviction lawsuit against Mini Mall Gallery.
"The tenant claimed he could stay on for another five years according to a lease option that was never properly executed," said Clayton, a shareholder with the law firm Greenberg Traurig. "We challenged it and won."
On Sept. 10, Miami-Dade County Court Judge Donald Cannava granted final judgment for 433 Lincoln Road LLC after Mini Mall Gallery failed to place one month's rent deposit into a court registry per a July court order. Clayton said Mini Mall moved out on Sept. 20. Mualem could not be reached for comment and the phone number for Mini Mall has been disconnected. His attorney Vivian Jaime did not respond to an interview request sent via email.
The delays caused by the eviction proceedings prompted Steve Madden to sue 433 Lincoln Road in Miami-Dade Circuit Court. Steve Madden wanted to terminate its lease agreement based on alleged misrepresentations by the property owner. Steve Madden's complaint, which was transferred to Miami federal court in August, states the retailer was looking for a new spot because the company needs to relocate from its current location at 817 Lincoln Road, where it has a month-to-month lease.
Steve Madden signed a 10-year lease agreement with 433 Lincoln Road on May 6. The shoe company accused Argyropoulos of failing to disclose that Mualem was refusing to vacate the space because of the five-year extension he allegedly negotiated with 433 Lincoln Road.
"It is now clear that defendant misrepresented and omitted material facts regarding the term of tenant's lease in order to induce Madden into signing the lease and the addendum in the hope that it could force tenant out of the premises so that it could secure a higher lease price," the complaint states.
In recent years, the Lincoln Road Mall has become one of the hottest retail sectors in the Miami real estate market, with rents reaching $300 a square foot. Earlier this month, real estate investors and developers Jonathan Fryd and Michael Comras sold an entire block that stretches from 1001 Lincoln Road to 1035 Lincoln Road to Spanish billionaire Amancio Ortega for $370 million. Fryd and Comras bought the properties for a combined $12 million in 1999 and 2000. Over the summer, New York investor David Edelstein plunked down $6,500 per square foot for two buildings at 918 and 920 Lincoln Road.
Clayton told TRD that 433 Lincoln Road and Steve Madden have settled and that the shoe retailer agreed to a new lease commencement date of Oct. 1, which was confirmed by a spokesperson for the company's law firm, Becker & Poliakoff.
"Our client is thrilled with the expediency in which it was resolved," Clayton said. "The expediency was important because Steve Madden is deeply interested in building and occupying the space before late fall 2015."

No matter what occurred, it can be very difficult to escape the grip of negative emotions surrounding those kinds of experiences.

Polymer clay is a sculpting medium used by crafters and artists alike. It's soft and can be easily formed into a wide variety of shapes. The great thing about polymer clay is that, while it's soft and easy to manipulate, when baked it becomes hard. Because it's so versatile, it can be used to make many different kinds of jewelry.[1]

Sarah Stearns
DIY Specialist Expert Interview. 4 October 2021. Here are a few jewelry projects you can do with polymer clay.
Making a Simple Beaded Necklace with Polymer Clay
1Assemble all of your supplies. You will need several colors of polymer clay, a toothpick, a pan that can go in the oven (that will only be used for polymer clay, not food), a piece of string, and a needle that can be threaded onto the string.
- Polymer clay is available at all craft supply stores and easily available online as well.
2Loosen up the polymer clay. Polymer clay needs to be worked and warmed up a little bit before it can be easily manipulated.[2] X Research source Cut off a small piece of the first color you want to use, about the size of a marble. Roll it around in your hands, making it round and loosening it up.
- If your clay is really hard, cut it up into small pieces with a knife. Lay the pieces on on a cutting board and add a drop of mineral oil. Now knead all the little pieces back together. The mineral oil should make it more pliable.
3Pierce the ball of polymer clay right down the middle with your toothpick. Be careful that the ball keeps its round shape and that the hole made by the toothpick is big enough to get your needle through later.
- Polymer clay does not really expand or contract when cooked, but bead holes may tend to shrink a bit. This means that you should make your bead holes a little bit bigger than your needle.
4Lay your bead on your baking sheet. Remember that the baking sheet you use will should not be used for baking food after it's used for baking polymer clay.
5Repeat these steps with all of the colors of clay you have. Try to keep your beads all the same size, so that they look the same.
6Make marbled beads. Once you have practiced making beads of a single color, try mixing several colors together to create a marbled effect. Simply take small pieces of several colors and knead them together. However, be careful not to knead them too long or the colors will simply combine and create a new solid color.
- Different brands of polymer clay may have different baking directions, so it's best to only combine polymer clays of the same brand.[3] X Research source
7Make a two-sided multicolor bead. Roll each color into a long skinny tube, about a quarter inch wide and four inches long. Press all the tubes of color into each other, making one long roll. Roll out this larger roll a little bit, just to make sure that it is round. Then slice off marble size pieces and roll them into beads. Your finished bead should have two multicolored sides.
- You can make a variety of patterns and designs by using this process. Try slicing thin round pieces off of your multicolor roll and then applying the flat sides of them to the surface of a single color bead (as made in the steps above). Once the surface is covered, smooth the surface out by rolling the bead lightly in your hands.
8Follow the baking directions given on the wrapper of the clay. Be sure to follow the directions carefully, as over baking or under baking your bead can damage them.
- No matter what brand it is, it will smell up your kitchen a bit while baking. These fumes are not good for you. Be sure to open us some windows or turn on a vent to get proper ventilation.
9Remove the beads from the oven and let them cool before assembling your necklace. The beads need to be completely cool before you touch them. When they are still warm they will not be totally hard, so touching them could damage the surface.
10Assemble your necklace. Thread your needle with the string you got. Then string the beads on, paying attention to any kind of color pattern you would like to make. Once all of your beads are on the string, take the needle off the end and tie the ends of the string off, making sure the loop you make is big enough to fit over your head.
11Put on your brand new necklace!Advertisement
Making Pendants with Polymer Clay
1Purchase several different colors of polymer clay. You'll want to choose colors with projects in mind. Polymer clay blends very well, so keep in mind that you can mix colors.
- There are several different brands of polymer clay available. You may wish to purchase more than one brand to see which one you like best. Some are softer than others. Remember, however, that different brands may have different baking directions, so you may not want to mix them together.
- You can also make your own polymer clay at home.
2Choose some jewelry making accessories. You will need to plan what type of pendants you want to make.[4] X Expert Source Sarah Stearns
DIY Specialist Expert Interview. 4 October 2021. For a necklace pendant or several hanging earrings, you will need to purchase an oven-proof band holder. This is basically a piece of wire that you can stick into the clay before it is baked that is made to withstand the heat of the oven. This wire will have a loop the sticks out of the pendant, that way you can attach the pendant to a necklace string or chain or to earring wires.
- You can find a wide variety of jewelry making tools and accessories at any craft store.
3Mix and blend colors. Pick your favorite colors and blend them together just enough so that they create a marbled effect.
- You can also mix colors together completely in order to make a brand new color. It might be fun to only buy red, yellow, and blue polymer clay and try to make other colors yourself by mixing them together.
4Sculpt your polymer clay. Using your fingers alone you can sculpt pendants, figurines, or beads.[5] X Expert Source Sarah Stearns
DIY Specialist Expert Interview. 4 October 2021. Begin with simple shapes, adding small pieces of clay on top of that to create a pattern.
- Make unique shapes. There are no limits to what you can do with polymer clay. Try to make an abstract shape out of a variety of colors or a tiny version of your favorite animal. The options are endless on what you can make.
- Try covering a square or circle of polymer clay with small dots of other colors of polymer clay. Once covered, smooth out the surface gently or leave it with a textured surface.
- If you run out of ideas, try looking online for inspiration. There are a wide variety of websites that can give you ideas to start from.
5Add metal accessory pieces to your sculpted items before baking. There are some accessories that need to be baked into the piece. Be sure anything you put in the oven is oven-proof.
6Place your sculpted items on a foil covered cookie sheet. This protects both the pan and the back of the jewelry pieces.
7Bake the polymer clay items according to the package directions. Most clays are baked at 275 degrees F (135 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes.
8Allow sculpted items to cool completely. You can lightly sand with extra fine paper if needed. If you are making a necklace, thread your necklace string or chain through the wire loop on your pendant. If you are making a pair of earrings, simply attach the earring wires you purchased to the loops coming out of the pendants.Advertisement

Her work has been featured in several publications, such as Scientific American, Good Housekeeping, Vox, and Apartment Therapy. Sarah holds a BA in Psychology from Vanderbilt University.
DIY SpecialistDIY SpecialistExpert AnswerLots of things! Since polymer clay is so moldable, you can shape it into beads, pendants, and miniature charms. You can even try making bold, colorful earrings, too!
QuestionIs it possible to make jewelry with any other clay than polymer clay?Community AnswerYes, because most clays can go into the oven and be baked to harden the piece.
QuestionWhat do you recommend for the oven-proof accessories? I don't see exactly what to get at Michael's to make the clay piece attach to a fish hook earring.Community AnswerPretty much any small pieces of metal are fine in the oven. You will need small metal jump rings and eye pins. You basically stick the eye pin into the clay piece so the little hoop part is sticking out, bake it and then attach the jump ring, which you then connect to the tiny hoop at the bottom of the fish hook earring. If in doubt, there are many oven-bake (polymer) clay jewelry tutorials on YouTube.
Some people like to use a pasta maker to roll out thin sheets of clay. This is also a good way to mix colors or soften your clay. However, remember that once you use a pasta roller for polymer clay, you should not use it for making pasta again.
You can also paint the baked clay with acrylic paints. Simply shape and bake as usual. Once cool you can paint them any way you like.
If you would like your sculptures to have a glossy, matte look, you can use polymer clay glazes (found in craft stores) to polish up your artwork. They will help preserve the paint (if any) and give the jewelry a shiny look.
- The fumes from polymer clay are toxic! Be sure the room where you are baking the clay is well ventilated.Thanks
- Polymer clay should not be ingested! While many tools from the kitchen are great for working with polymer clay, be sure that anything you use does not go back to use in the kitchen.Thanks

About this article
To make a beaded necklace or bracelet with polymer clay, start by rolling a marble-sized piece of clay in your hands to warm it and make it more pliable. Then, roll it into a ball and poke a toothpick through the center so you can thread it later. Next, lay the bead on a baking sheet, then repeat the rolling and poking process to make as many beads as you want. Once the beads are rolled, bake them according to the package directions, then let them cool. Finally, thread a needle with string and push it through each bead to make a necklace or bracelet. To learn how to make a pendant out of polymer clay, read on!

Leeds mayor upset over billboard's message
BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) - The mayor of Leeds is one person we know of that is angry about a billboard near his city. People traveling westbound on I-20 near the Leeds exit can see the billboard, which reads "anti-racist is a code word for anti-white."
The message is one promoted by a website called whiterabbitradio.net. The website's founder, Tim Murdock, told Fox6 by phone from Chicago that he does not know who paid for the billboard, but he explained the message.
"The point of the message is when white people are called racist to give them something to say, something to say to defend themselves so they don't just sit silently keep getting beaten over the head over and over again. You know everyone has come to the conclusion that racism is only in white countries, only in white people's churches, houses and businesses, and white people are generally the only ones who face this charge generally on behalf of white anti-whites as well."
Leeds mayor David Miller tells Fox6 he is trying to find out who is behind the sign, but he's not happy about the message or its location near his integrated city.

Biryani is a classic Indian dish of rice and meat lavished with spices that is often served on festive occasions. When you taste it, you'll understand why.
Made Tender with Yogurt
Imagine stew beef; velvety, in a coating of yogurt.
Yogurt is a much-used marinade for Indian cooking. It is a fantastic tenderizer and works great to coat beef, chicken or lamb in whatever herbs and spices you choose to apply. And it's very forgiving – if you leave your dish draped in yogurt a couple extra hours there is no harm done.
So we first yogurt-ize and spice the beef.
And then the Biryani is…
Made awesome with spices
Infused with flavor – redolent with cayenne, coriander, cumin, ginger, turmeric and ginger
Simmered, Oh, so slow!
Then we take the marinated beef mixture and slow-cook it in a bath of onions and clarified butter until it's Sunday-roast tender…
Lentils and Rice come to the Party!
You know they want to!
Biryani… Become Soup!
And then – and only then – do we take the final liberty and add beef broth to make Biryani "soup."
- 1 pound stew beef, cut into 2-inch cubes
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoon coriander
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon clarified butter (ghee)
- ½ cup water
- ¾ cup red lentils, rinsed thoroughly in cold water
- ¾ cup basmati rice, rinsed thoroughly in cold water
- 6 cups beef broth
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 onion, minced
- Put the beef into a plastic bag or non-reactive container and add the yogurt, cayenne pepper, ginger, salt, turmeric, cumin, coriander and garlic
- Let marinade for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours
- Drop ghee into a large Dutch oven and melt over medium heat
- Toss in onion and cook until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes
- Add beef mixture and cook until beef browns on outside
- Pour in water and reduce heat to simmer
- Cover and let simmer 1 hour, until beef is fork tender
- Stir in lentils and rice and pour in beef broth
- Bring to boil
- Cook for 20 minutes, or until rice and lentils are tender
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley
Looking for the perfect pot to cook up your next batch of soup? I recommend the Lodge Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven. It comes in 11 different colors and is an excellent value for the price.

1. What is on your nightstand?
My phone, a box of tissues, two mutilated dog toys (I don't know why my terrier refuses to have nice things), and one sock.
2. What author would you totally fan?
I have to pick ONE?! Rainbow Rowell—no, Gillian Flynn—no, Tana French. Sigh. Clearly, I dissolve into a puddle of fangirl quite easily.
3. What makes you cringe?
So many things really. At the moment, my daughter's grinding her teeth and it's making me want to crawl out of my skin.
4. Do you obsessively plot out each point or just go with the flow?
Sad to report I go with the flow. It's maddening. Sometimes I don't know what I'm going to write until I sit down and do it—and that nonsense can take HOURS.
5. Is there a word you love to use?
You know, it changes from manuscript to manuscript. I used "edge" about a bazillion times in one book. In NEVER APART, it was "chins" and "heat." I think FIND ME had too many shoulders moving around. Editing has always been my friend.

Hixon Group ReviewsWrite a Review
Excellent level of service, any issues i have with my computer have been resolved within minutes & at the first attempt.
I have dealt with Jonathan and his team for a number of years, and I can say he has a first class approach to his IT services.
With a can do approach, and the highest level of professionalism, he always finds a way to improve and upgrade the systems with very little or no interruption to the business.
Jonathan always enjoys a challenge and whenever I've presented an impossible task, he has never failed to provide an effective solution.
I have been using Hixon Group for IT support and Microsoft Office 365 for over two years now and have been consistently impressed by the commitment to clients.
They ensure any problem is resolved as quickly as possible and works to make sure it does not occur again.
I have worked with Jonathan from Hixon Group on a few projects, I can not recommend him enough!
Understanding client specification and implementing a solution is one of his key skills.
Jonathan and his team have been an excellent integration partner to Totally Delicious Limited. Not only have they supported our head office "traditional" IT services but have allowed us to roll out new EPOS/Back-office across multiple sites. We were able to quickly and effectively outsource all our requirements for this business critical project. We continue to work with Jonathan, his business and have no hesitation in recommending his services.
I was always a managed services sceptic but I have to say I have always found Hixon Group to be professional, responsive and knowledgeable.
They have brought our centre into the 21st century, we can work knowing that our systems are secure, data is backed up and if we have an issue the team are just a quick telephone call to resolve the problem.
We didn't need to look at any other solution. We know that with an IT support plan from Hixon and Microsoft Office 365, we can easily set up additional shared sites and get right to work.
The increased organisation and efficiency internally will only help us better serve our clients.
Aspire provide everything we need from an IT partner and more. They ensure that we have a secure network and effective management systems to run our […] Read More

Suspended Magnets
Munir Associates is sole authorised representative of Eriez Magnetics in Pakistan. Suspended magnets are used in a wide range of applications, hence the need for an array of both permanent and electromagnetic designs.
Permanent Magnets
Suspended Permanent Magnets use ceramic magnetic material arranged in a very specific pattern to create a powerful magnetic field. Each model is designed for the application based on conveyor width and speed, material burden depth as well as the density or frequency of tramp iron present in the process. The magnets are permanently charged so they require no external power source to function. Typical applications involve light industrial applications like wood, tire chips or light aggregate recycling.
For larger industrial separation applications, an electromagnetic separator may be required. The popular round-core electromagnet uses round aluminum or copper wire in an oil-filled assembly to generate a powerful electromagnetic field. Eriez uses advanced, multidimensional finite element analysis to model each magnetic circuit ensuring optimum performance for each unique application. These electromagnets efficiently remove ferrous metals in heavy industrial applications like coal, limestone, sand and other aggregates.
We offer a variety of electromagnetic configurations including oil and air-cooled; round and rectangular core; explosion proof; even cryogenic superconducting magnets capable of producing the world's strongest magnetic force for separation applications.
Manual or self-cleaning
Manual-Cleaning (MC) Models
All MC models are cleaned of accumulated tramp iron by turning off magnet power periodically. MC models are recommended when occasional pieces or small amounts of iron may contaminate material flow.
Self-Cleaning (SC) Models
SC models provide completely automatic iron removal and can be installed in an "in-line" or "cross belt" position. Both SC models have a short belt conveyor built around the magnet for automatic removal of tramp iron from the magnet face. This system features a rubber conveyor belt, bearings, rugged continuous channel frame, adjustable take-ups and shaft-mounted reducer with V-belt coupling to a TEFC motor.
Factors Influencing tramp metal collection
Belt Speed: As the belt speed increases, it becomes more difficult to remove ferrous components. Larger, stronger magnets may be required for faster belt speeds.
Burden Depth: As the burden depth on the conveyor belt increases, an increase in the magnetic field strength is needed to pull the tramp iron up through the deeper burden.
Ferrous Contaminant Size: Small pieces of tramp metal (i.e. 1/2″ hex nut, 1″ cube, etc.) may be extremely difficult to remove especially when they are covered by a heavy overburden of material, compared to large items like shovel teeth, rail spikes or rebar.
Ferrous Contaminant Shape: Steel plate has a high surface area relative to its weight vs. a sphere which has the lowest surface area relative to its weight. Therefore, flat plates and rod shaped tramp metal are easier to remove than spherical or cube shaped tramp metal.
Typical magnetic field configuration of an electromagnet suspended over a conveyor belt. The magnetic field extends outward from the center of the magnet. The magnetic field is strongest at the center and diminishes towards the edges.
Positions 1 and 2 (Manual-Cleaning/MC-1 and MC-2)
This style unit consists of the magnet only. With manual-cleaning magnets, it is necessary to periodically remove the accumulated tramp iron either by hand picking or the optional mechanical stripper.
Position 1 (Self-Cleaning/SC-1)
This unit consists of a short belt conveyor built around a magnet to provide self-cleaning. This unit is designed to be mounted in Position 1, as illustrated, at the head end of a conveyor either over the trajectory of the discharged material or over the head pulley. It provides automatic removal of tramp iron in the direction of the main conveyor travel.
Position 2 (Self-Cleaning/SC-2)
This style unit consists of Position 1 Self-Cleaning unit except the self-cleaning belt travels across the magnet face at right angles to the main conveyor, providing automatic tramp iron discharge perpendicular to the direction of the moving material burden. It is designed for mounting in Position 2, as illustrated, over a conveyor belt, picking table, vibrating screen etc.

I see articles everyday from women talking about how they don't want their daughters to learn their horrible habits. Whether it be their bad eating and exercise habits or their obsessive behavior to stay thin at all costs.
There was an article about a woman who weighed herself every morning and she realized that she didn't want her daughter to inherit her same self worth issues. There was another who wrote about how real beauty has nothing to do with jean size and all to do with the person inside. There was a woman who struggled with how to tell her daughter about her past eating disorders.
My question is why does it take women having kids to realize their worth? One woman wrote how for the first time she was putting value on herself and expecting things from other people. I think of all the other women and mothers who never manage to love themselves as much as they love their children and what that actually teaches their children.
We all want to do what's best for our kids. I'm in many mom groups and read many articles. I see comments all the time with nothing but judgement of how other mothers are raising their kids. How all moms should breastfeed. Only organic healthy food… and all of this sounds GREAT! I know that was my plan in the beginning… so then why is childhood diabetes on the rise?
We need to look at our own habits. Our kids will eat what we eat… regardless of what we tell them. The same moms saying they will only feed their kids healthy fruits and veggies are the same moms stopping at Starbucks and McDonalds because they're too busy.. or need a boost.
As women and mothers we have to start putting ourselves and our health first early.. and teach through example. I don't know anyone who wants to die an early death and leave their child behind… and I don't know anyone who wants to bury their child because of diabetes and heart disease. Instead of worrying about how you look in your jeans or the number on the scale, why not think about how to live longer, stronger and happier?
