Product Description
The Rollpaw kit is a simple solution for projects that need small grippers. It is driven by two 9g SunFounder servos: one to control the jaws to open and close, and the other to control the rotating of the paw. When the jaws is fully stretched, the maximum distance is 60mm, which means it can grip an object with a 60-mm diameter. The joints of the two jaws are all connected with self-locking nuts, so that they would not fall off easily during the rotating and keep the paw "safe and sound". The Rollpaw is easy to assemble and use with the code provided.

The art of woodwork has existed for centuries, almost as long as mankind itself. There is scientific evidence showing that early woodworking, like making statues and weapons has existed since the Neolithic era. As a matter of fact, the overall development of a civilization depended on its skill in woodworking, making it a sign of progress. For this reason, woodworkers and people skilled in this art are part of a long existing, culturally rich heritage.
People, who have just taken up woodworking, need to know the necessary materials and tools required to get started. Gathering the right professional woodworking tools is of the utmost importance. It is not possible to start the most basic woodworking project without having the right tools. This article has listed the ten most important professional woodworking tools that you need to get started. Also, when and how to use them, how you can get creative when using a particular tool, has been described briefly under every heading. Most tools can be gotten from your local hardware store and all of them are hand tools, as it is bets to master them before moving onto power tools (if you want to use power tools later on).
1) Claw Hammer
Most projects at work and at home require hammers of some sort, making them an essential tool. However, for woodworking, a claw hammer, having a particular rounded and smooth finish to its head, is generally recommended. It is one of the most versatile and helpful type of hammer for woodworking. One should go with a hammer that is solid when held and not too heavy. Usually, a 16 oz. head on a claw hammer is said to be the "standard weight." However, most people who want to get involved in woodworking should start with a 20 oz. model. This model is easier and more versatile to use for a wide variety of jobs. As you become more involved in woodworking, one claw hammer of every size needs to be in your toolbox.
2) Combination Square
A combination square is the perfect tool when you want fuse accuracy with versatility when measuring. The basic structure of a combination square includes a blade, a rule and interchangeable head pieces. The steelhead is the most common of these heads and is made for measuring both 90 and 45-degree angles. It is usually available in 12-inch and 6-inch models. The 6-inch combination square is highly recommended as a starting point because it is smaller and can fit into tight spaces. As with the claw hammer, as you get more involved in woodworking, you will have to buy in both sizes.
3) Chisels
The need of removing materials from a surface is always present when you are woodworking. This is where chisels come in. Chisels can be bought in a variety of sizes, which range from 0.25-inch to 1 inch. There are many kinds of chisels and each has a different function. These include bench chisels (for chopping), pairing chisels (for shaving), and mortise chisels. It is necessary to have a variety of chisels in your tool box for most woodworking projects.
4) Block Plane
This is a small tool which you use at the end of a woodworking project in order to clean up the edges and get the desired "finished" and smooth look. Block planes are used to shave wood so that it can fit into tight spaces and are smaller than most other planes. Block planes can be held in one hand while using because their size is usually as big as an average sized hand. The iron which actually shaves the wood is embedded in the block at a low angle when compared with other planes.
5) Folding Wood Rule or Retractable Tape Measure
The use of a folding wood rule and a retractable tape measure when it comes to woodworking depends on personal preference, so you can use one or the other. Some experts say, that the folding wood rule, is the tool that should be used because it can be made compact and can measure up to 6 feet. Also, it is not likely to collapse when being used to measure an object, while an aluminum retractable tape measure may end up collapsing.
6) Level
Levels are available in a wide variety of sizes and technologies nowadays. These include short or torpedo levels, long levels and laser levels. The basic function of levels is to make proper horizontal and vertical lines in shelves, cabinets and other wood-based projects. It is necessary to give the finished product a sense of symmetry and this tool is ideal for that purpose.
7) Hand Saw
Handsaws are an obvious necessity when it comes to buying professional woodworking tools. These are used for making delicate, small cuts in wood that are too complicated to be made with a power saw. At the very least, it is essential to have a back saw, for cutting dovetails and tennons, as well as a coping saw, for clearing corners and cutting arcs.
8) Spokeshave
A spokeshave is a kind of plane. It is used to give shape to circular or cylindrical pieces. Spokeshaves consist of two handles with a long blade in the middle. To use the spokeshave you need to pull the tool, this will get rid of fine wood shavings. Chair legs and support rods can be made easily with the help of this particular tool.
9) Utility Knife
It is made of a single blade, locked into place and happens to be one tool that almost every person, even beginners are aware of. A utility knife can be used to score or scribe a piece of stock as well as to clean hinge areas. It may be one of the simplest woodworking tools out there but it can prove to be useful at any point when you may need a knife.
10) Sliding Bevel
This professional woodworking tool is quite similar to a combination square. It can produce any angle and lock it into place as well. This allows you to produce similar angles at different parts of any project.

The Court's recent gerrymandering decision recognized Reynolds v. Sims as so flawed in its reasoning as not to deserve mention.
The Fourteenth Amendment, Original Meaning Originalism and How to Approach the Historical Record: A Response to David Upham
My thanks to the Library of Law and Liberty for inviting me to respond to David Upham's review of my new book, The Fourteenth Amendment and the Privileges and Immunities of American Citizenship (Cambridge U. Press 2014). Thanks also to Prof. Upham for taking the time to review the book and his gracious acknowledgement that it constitutes a step forward in our understanding of the Privileges or Immunities Clause. Unfortunately, in some of his more critical comments, it appears that Upham has misunderstood the theory of the book and (worse) missed much of the evidence presented in the book.
First, just to summarize the book itself. The effort is to recover the original meaning of the text. I proceed by investigating the historical usage of terms like "privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states" (language found in the Comity Clause) and "privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States" (language originally found in antebellum treaties and, ultimately in the Fourteenth Amendment). This reflects a methodology that seeks to identify patterns of usage in order to determine the likely understanding of a competent speaker of the English language aware of the content in which the text was communicated for ratification. Note: The book seeks to identify historical patterns of usage, not historically unanimous usage.
I conclude that, although the Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article IV seems superficially similar to the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, in fact these two provisions are worded differently for a reason–they protect two distinguishable sets of rights. The Comity Clause's protection of the rights "of citizens in the several states" was broadly understood as providing visiting citizens equal access to a limited set of state-secured rights. The 14th Amendment, on the other hand, protects the rights "of citizens of the United States," and was broadly understood as protecting all constitutionally enumerated rights. These national Privileges and Immunities of American citizenship were understood to include not only the equal protection rights of the Comity Clause, but also the substantive rights of the first eight amendments (among others).
I arrive at this conclusion by exploring antebellum legal and political rhetoric, the drafting debates, and the public discussion of the 14th Amendment during the political debates of 1866. I do not build my case (as others have) on Bingham's 1871 speech (which supports my view), or on any particular antebellum speech. The effort is to identify patterns of usage; no one piece of evidence, pro or anti, can establish a convincing pattern. So, although it is helpful to learn what Poland, Bingham and others said on specific occasions, the overall effort is to identify broad patterns of usage in an effort to determine the most likely original meaning of the text. In this regard, being able to trace a particular understanding of national privileges and immunities from the time of the Louisiana Cession, through the antebellum period, through the drafting debates, and into the public debates of 1866 is itself evidence of a common understanding (whether or not anyone in 1866 was conscious of the fact that they were repeating an idea which had first emerged decades earlier in discussions of United States treaties).
Counter-usage, of course, may signal either a different understanding, an emerging understanding, or nothing more than an outlier understanding. You cannot know without engaging the full body of evidence. And, in fact, there were numerous examples of counter-readings of "privileges and immunities," both liberal and conservative. What these outliers failed to achieve, however, was sufficient agreement to establish a pattern of usage and common understanding.
This is why so much of Upham's review misses the mark. He apparently believes that the arguments in my book can be successfully countered by presenting instances of disagreement. But one can always find instances of disagreement, particularly as political partisans vie for their favored view of a particular text. What we are looking for are arguments that prevailed, or arguments that reflect common (even if not unanimous) understanding. Worse, Upham appears to miss what are clearly established patterns of usage.
One example: Upham points out that the antebellum meaning of the Comity Clause was contested: There were, as he puts it "controversies and sharp divisions on the courts." If by controversies, Upham means that there were arguments before the courts, then yes, there were. But, no, the courts themselves were not sharply divided—they were broad agreement about the equal protection reading of the Comity Clause, as were treatise writers. Upham tries to find disagreement by pointing to decisions that declined to define the full list of protected privileges and immunities. But no one is arguing about which rights received equal protection (a contested question). The issue was whether all such rights, whatever they were, received only equal protection: On this point courts broadly agreed: The Comity Clause did nothing more than provide visiting citizens a degree of equal access to a limited (if not completely defined) set of state-secured rights. Upham cannot reasonably claim otherwise.
The investigation of the debates in the 39th Congress regarding the Comity Clause reveals the same pattern. A majority of the members repeatedly rejected efforts to read the Comity Clause as protecting substantive national rights. Instead the majority embraced the very common antebellum equal protection reading. Upham tries to claim that only Democrats followed the equal protection reading of the Clause and that Republicans were vague on the issue. This is not only false, I devote an entire section in the book to disproving it.
As just one example, the Radical Republican Samuel Shallabarger eventually conceded that Comity Clause provided nothing more than a degree of equal protection for visiting citizens—citing as he does so antebellum case law and treatises. Shellabarger wanted to provide broader protection but conceded the Comity Clause provided no additional protections. (See Lash, p. 167, CG, 39th Cong. 1st Sess. app. at 293) Yes, one can find Radical Republicans in the early months pressing for a broader reading of the clause. No, these arguments did not represent common understanding and they were repeatedly defeated—so decidedly that such arguments were eventually abandoned by the 39th Cong. Radical Republicans themselves.
The same debates that revealed the consensus equal protection reading of the Comity Clause also convinced John Bingham to redraft his proposed Fourteenth Amendment. Bingham's efforts that Spring were directed at forcing the states to protect the substantive rights listed in the Bill of Rights. His initial draft used the language of the Comity Clause due to Bingham's initial belief that this clause, properly read, required the states to respect the Bill of Rights. After hearing his colleagues describe his proposed language as doing nothing more than enforcing the Comity Clause, Bingham withdrew his first draft and replaced it with a version that used the language of antebellum treaties—language that, if read consistently with antebellum rhetoric, would force the states to protect enumerated constitutional rights. If Bingham simply wanted to enforce the Comity Clause, it is exceedingly odd that he would do so by removing the language of the Comity Clause from his amendment. On the other hand, if Bingham's effort was to protect all constitutionally enumerated rights, including the Comity Clause and the Bill of Rights, then it seems a bit more than a coincidence that he decided to use language that already had a long history of being understood as protecting enumerated constitutional rights.
Upham resists this reading and claims that there is no evidence that anyone distinguished the rights protected by the Comity Clause from the rights protected by the 14th Amendment's Privileges or Immunities Clause. But the most famous speech in the historical record does exactly that, and does so expressly. Presenting the proposed final draft of the amendment to his colleagues in the Senate, Jacob Howard described the Privileges or Immunities Clause as protecting Comity Clause rights and other constitutionally enumerated rights. According to Howard:
Now, sir, here is a mass of privileges, immunities, and rights, some of them secured by the second section of the fourth article of the Constitution, which I have recited, some by the first eight amendments of the Constitution; and it is a fact well worthy of attention that the course of decision of our courts and the present settled doctrine is, that all these immunities, privileges, rights, thus guarantied by the Constitution or recognized by it, are secured to the citizen solely as a citizen of the United States and as a party in their courts.
Howard here expressly distinguishes Comity Clause Rights from other enumerated rights and claims the amendment will protect them all. Howard's speech was widely reprinted and was so influential that the proposed Fourteenth Amendment became known as the "Howard Amendment." As the book explains, Howard's description of the Clause tracks antebellum political and legal rhetoric which also understood the term "privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States," as referring to all constitutionally enumerated rights, whether in Article IV or in the Bill of Rights.
Prof. Upham correctly points out that not everyone agreed. Sen. Poland, for example, included a line in one of his speeches that described the Clause as protecting only those rights covered by the Comity Clause. Actually, you can find other sporadic examples of disagreement—examples which I include in my book. But my book does not claim unanimous agreement about the meaning of the Privileges or Immunities clause, only common agreement. Howard's speech (it probably goes without saying) was far more influential than Poland's sentence. As the debates of 1866 proceeded, it became clear that the country understood the Clause as accomplishing much more than simply Comity Clause-style equal protection.
Remarkably, Prof. Upham does not address the public discussion of the Privileges or Immunities Clause that occurred prior to the elections of 1866. This discussion occupies the central part of the book! The elections that year constituted a referendum on the Fourteenth Amendment, with Republicans in favor and Democrats (under the leadership of Andrew Johnson) opposed. When Louisiana state officials led an attack killing a group of freedmen meeting in New Orleans in the summer of 1866, political commentary exploded with cries favoring the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment and its protection of privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, rights which Republicans repeatedly described as including the liberties listed the Bill of Rights. When the Southern Loyalists Convention met that September, the members adopted an "Appeal" that specifically pointed to the former rebel states' abridgment of the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States—privileges they expressly described as including both the rights listed in the Bill of Rights and Comity Clause rights. According to the Appeal:
Statute books groaned under despotic laws against unlawful and insurrectionary assemblies aimed at the constitutional guarantees of the right to peaceably assemble and petition for redress of grievances; it proscribed democratic literature as incendiary; it nullified constitutional guarantees of freedom of free speech and a free press; it deprived citizens of the other States of their privileges and immunities in the States . . . .
The Appeal concluded by announcing its support of the Republicans in the forthcoming elections and calling for the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Republicans eventually enjoyed a landslide victory that Fall. Days after the election "Madison" of the New York Times wrote:
The elections are now over. The country has decided between the policy of the President and Congress. . . . The one great issue really settled is, that the people will not lose the fruits of the victory won in the suppression of the rebellion. They demand and will have protection for every citizen of the United States, everywhere within the national jurisdiction—full and complete protection in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property, the pursuit of happiness, the right to speak and write his sentiments, regardless of localities; to keep and bear arms in his own defence, to be tried and sustained in every way as an equal, without the distinction to race, condition or color. These are the demands; these the securities required.
As had Howard, "Madison" understood the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States included both Comity Clause rights (what the Corfield case had described as the equal right to pursue happiness) and other enumerated rights. Recognizing the distinction between the language of the proposed Amendment and the more limited language of the Comity Clause, President Andrew Johnson made an eleventh hour proposal to replace the proposed Amendment with a draft that used the language of the Comity Clause instead of Bingham's reference to the privileges and immunities of national citizenship. Johnson's effort to limit the scope of the Amendment, obviously, was unsuccessful. But it stands as one more piece of evidence that the both Democrats and Republicans understood the language of the Fourteenth Amendment as covering different and broader territory than the Comity Clause.
Over and over again, in antebellum rhetoric, in the drafting debates, and in the public discussion of the proposed amendment, we find evidence that the term "the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States" was understood as distinguishable from the more limited language of the Comity Clause. The Privileges and Immunities of national citizenship included all constitutionally enumerated rights, both those equal protection rights of the Comity Clause and those enumerated rights in the Bill of Rights. The evidence is not unanimous, but substantial enough to establish a pattern of usage representing the likely original meaning of the Privileges or Immunities Clause.
Enough. Prof. Upham makes a number of other claims about the historical evidence with which I either disagree or I believe are countered by a larger body of evidence. It would take an entire book to fully respond.
So, I end my response by encouraging readers to engage this evidence by reading the book!

Emerging Markets At A Crossroads (PREMIUM-UNLOCKED)
The following article was originally posted for premium members of The Lyons Share on Wednesday, May 17, 2017.
Recent leader, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, is hitting a major confluence of resistance at the moment.
One theme we've been all over in 2017 is the good relative performance of international markets. That includes emerging markets, individually and collectively, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EM). EM is up some 17% this year already. But unlike many of the international standouts of 2017, EM fared extremely well in 2016 as well. In fact, since its early 2016 low, EM is up nearly 50%.
Of course, EM was badly beaten down over nearly a decade prior, in particular, since 2011. So some of this rally was certainly "overdue". However, the concern is that, at some point, the potential resistance posed by nearly a decade of overhead supply (prices) will be a factor. That point is now.
We have been pointing out in our Daily Videos that while the EM was in a nice uptrend, it was approaching a confluence of serious potential resistance on its chart, near the 1015 level. It closed yesterday at 1015.05, so it is there. What is the serious resistance? Here is the chart:
Specifically, the cluster includes a trio of key potential resistance points intersecting near the 1015 level:
- The underside of the broken Post-2002 Up trendline that connected the 2008 lows
- The Post-2007 Down Trendline that connected the peaks in 2011, 2014 and 2015
- The 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement of the 2011-2016 Decline
So what do we expect to transpire here? Our view is that this is serious resistance that carries a very strong chance of holding down EM prices for at least the intermediate-term. We do think there is also a strong chance that EM has bottomed for the cycle and has begun a new cyclical leg of advance. However, such an advance will not come in a straight line (notwithstanding EM's performance of the past 15 months).
Thus, our inclination is to take considerable profits in any broad emerging markets exposure at this time (individual EM markets may be taken on a case-by-case basis). Should this 1015 level be decisively taken out, we can revisit adding exposure. More than likely, however, we envision adding exposure into a healthy pullback. At this point, the best support below looks to be around the 940 level, and the 885 level below there.

There is nothing quite as electrifying and satisfying as falling in love especially when you've found a partner to spend your life with. But what happens when you start to realize that this man or woman might cause you more sufferings than satisfaction? You've already let yourself get so invested that you even enter the sanctity of marriage. You don't know that it's more painful than you could have imagined.
This was my experience again and again, until I started to see my relationship from a different perspective. Love alone is not enough for a marriage to work. It should be coupled with trust and respect. When you know how to embrace your weaknesses and strengths.
When my marriage failed, I kept on asking myself why it happened? But lately I realized that it's not really because my husband was wrong or I was the one faulted. It's because we never learned to accept ourselves wholeheartedly that we keep on searching from each other to fill that emptiness. For any relationship to work, both parties should be willing to feel and to deal with their ugly feelings.
For having a happy married life, love is not enough. There are still many things that will change your love life entirely. Some people even will take extreme action to prove his love to her due to lack of ability to control his feelings for a woman. Not because they don't understand what is right or wrong, but when the attraction is too strong and they are not mature enough to get themselves in control, chances are they will make mistakes unconsciously because at the moment it just feels right.
Love is not enough for a relationship. What really makes a relationship stronger and sustainable is respect, honesty, truthfulness and win- win,understanding of each other. There are so many events over which we have no control. But being happy isn't something that happens based on how others are doing for you. Happiness starts from within. No matter what happens, you have the control over your life, so, your happiness depends upon your choice even if sometimes we delude ourselves in the common belief that love alone can save or make our relationships work.

It's all in the details! How many times have you walked into a space and the lighting wasn't quite right or the carpet was a crazy shade of orange that did not compliment the walls. Many times, clinics fall prey to the idea "we can do it ourselves" or "I can find that on my own for cheaper". Sometimes the added stress and energy needed to "DIY" just doesn't pay off. Our advice… find a company that can do it all for you while keeping you involved in the process step by step.
We have developed our Total Package Architectural Design with that idea in mind. We want you to be involved every step of the way, from finalizing the layout and flow of your space to picking the color and style of the lounge chair in your waiting room. Every client has a different expectation of the level of involvement they have in their clinic build out or remodel. We have worked with clients who work with us to pick out every detail, and we have clients who show us one picture and tell us to "run with it" to pick out each detail for them. We enjoy working with both types of clients…it makes our job fun!
Here is a brief snapshot of some of the services provided in our Total Package Architectural Design:
- Schematic Floor Plan
- Tailored Store Fixtures and Casework
- Lighting
- Seating
- Color and Finish Selection
We work with you to learn your likes and dislikes, then from there create a cohesive design plan for your entire space! In the process we provide you with an array of color samples, design layouts, and fixtures then you pick your favorites! You make all the final decisions and we take on all the work of sourcing the products and getting you the best possible price.
Avoid the mistake of trying to do it all yourself. You have enough going on in your daily business, trust this to the pros.

Where is your hometown, and what is the most interesting thing about it?
My hometown is Uniondale, which is in Long Island, N.Y. It is right outside New York City, so you are right next to the city.
Do you have any pre-game rituals or superstitions?
I usually say my own prayer. I usually listen to slow music to calm me down, because sometimes you get too excited and then by the time you get out there you are tired. I just try to calm down mentally and say my prayer.
What has been your greatest accomplishment on the football field?
We played in the Rose Bowl my junior year on the big stage and to be able to get that Big Ten Championship ring was a big accomplishment for my team.
What's the most memorable football game you've ever been a part of, be it Pop Warner, high school or college?
I would definitely say my last game of high school. We lost in the semifinals to a neighboring town and we should have won. We had so much talent and I had a couple of guys from my team go Division I-A and I-AA. New York in general doesn't have a lot of guys going out for football and to lose with that type of lineup was bad. It was pretty much a 0-0 game until the fourth quarter. I scored once, but we missed the extra point. Then they scored and kicked it. Their O-line rolled everybody to the right and had a guy sneak out to the left across the field and he was wide open. We ended up losing by one point.
Who's the most influential coach you've ever played for and why?
I would say Coach (Joe) Paterno. He is a legendary coach and he told me a lot of things about accountability and discipline. He was an old-school guy and a young guy like me came in and didn't really buy into the system. He made me understand his way. He is an old-school guy with his old-school ways. I think that went a long way and it helped me out a lot.
Who's the most famous athlete you've ever met in person? When and where did you meet them?
I have met and like Keyshawn Johnson. I met him in New York and he has his own design show. I was in a club in New York with my uncle. I guess my uncle knew him and he introduced him to me. It was more of a lounge and we were able to talk a little bit. That was during my junior year and he gave me a couple of pointers and that was fun. He told me that going into my senior year it means a lot to get good film and play hard. It's about the film, a lot. He told me not to take plays off and whatever you put on film, make it gold.
When was the first time you set foot in the city of Green Bay, and what was your first impression?
It was actually my rookie minicamp. Coming from New York, the first thing I was looking for was a skyline when I was landing. I didn't see any skyline and I was thinking, "Where is the city?" It reminded me a lot of Penn State, which was in a college town. I don't think I'll have a problem adjusting.
Prior to being drafted by the Packers, had you ever been to Lambeau Field?
No. When I was here for rookie minicamp they took us upstairs to the presidential suite and it was amazing to see the stadium. It got me real anxious to see the stadium and get ready to go.
Who is the most interesting person in your family?
I would have to say my cousin who is a little bit older than me who is an aspiring musician. He is real good, and he's working with a couple people now to get his name out there. I think it is interesting to have another guy whose name will be in the lights. He's real good. His name is Sticky Green.
Outside of anything in sports, what's your proudest accomplishment in life?
I definitely have to say graduating from college. Coming in as a freshman I did real bad my first semester, real bad. I was able to bounce back and graduate in three-and-a-half years.
What did you major in? Was there any particular reason you chose that field?
Telecommunications. I actually like audio. I took a couple of classes where I got to work in the audio studio and also in the television studio. Just working with computers and stuff like that intrigues me.
What do you think will be the toughest part about your first NFL training camp?
I think just learning the plays. When you don't know the plays, in and out, you are a little hesitant. When you know the plays by heart you are able to play at that fast speed and aren't thinking, you are reacting. I think that is going to be the hardest thing for me. Once you learn it, then you'll be able to react.
When you were a kid, did you dream of growing up to be a football player, or did you dream of something else?
I played every sport when I was a kid -- baseball, basketball and football. I was speaking with my mom the other day and she actually told me that I told her when I was three years old I was going to be a famous sports player one day. I first thought it was basketball. I was a basketball guy. But coming into high school I chose football and said I am going to take this all the way. It was more of an active, physical game. Baseball was way too slow and basketball was cool, but football you are able to hit people and not get in trouble for it, in a sense. It is a physical game that I enjoy.
At what point were you sure you were going to be in the NFL someday?
I think in college coming in as a freshman and looking up to the seniors and watching how they worked, seeing how they approached offseason and everything they did. I just tried to mirror them as I got older. Going into my senior year, looking back, I remembered the way I was working, all the sprints and stuff like that. I felt very confident the way I was working and I worked very hard.
Was there a football player you idolized growing up? Why him?
I wouldn't say I idolized a football player growing up. I think coming into college, Paul Posluszny (former linebacker for Penn State and current linebacker for the Buffalo Bills), watching the way he worked. He laid flat out. They used to call him a machine, like nothing fazed him. Whether it was running sprints, lifting weights, I really was amazed coming out of high school watching the way the older guys worked, especially him. It was amazing to me. That is another thing, I couldn't block him my freshman year. He was so elusive at the linebacker position I couldn't even touch him.
When did you attend your first NFL game, and what do you remember most about it?
For the first time last year I went to an Eagles game. Philadelphia is probably two-and-half hours from my school and that was my first one last year. I remember DeSean Jackson running all over the Kansas City Chiefs. I am a [Michael] Vick fan, so I wanted to go and see him play. It was definitely a great atmosphere and I got real excited because I knew it was coming up for me.
What has been the most exciting part about being a Packer so far?
I think the whole NFL experience, knowing that you are an NFL player. It is a great feeling making your family and neighborhood proud. It is just an amazing feeling. There are fans everywhere. They are very respectful and they love us and we love them back. I think the fans play a big part of it too.
What are your hobbies? What do you like to do when you are not playing football?
I play video games. I am a 'Call of Duty' guy. Actually, half of my team back at school is online, so I get to play with them sometimes. Everybody gets their headsets on and we all talk junk and smack to each other. It's an easy way to kill time and stay off your feet.
Are there any guys on the team that you knew from before you joined the Packers?
I met Mike Neal at an all-star game, the East-West Shrine Game. He is a Big Ten guy, but I didn't really know anybody else.
What do you want Packer fans to know about you as a person?
I feel like I came in with a lot of baggage and they were writing a lot of articles about me before I even got here. I just really want to let them know when I first came in that I have learned from my mistakes and I am ready to play hard. All I really want to do is contribute any way I can. I just want them to know that I am going to work hard. With no hard work, there's no results. That's the way I am approaching it. I want them to know I'm a worker, and a nice guy.

A Non-Apology
Dear Marks and Spencer Manchester. It was me, and I'm far from sorry. I took my basket of Dine in for 10 goodies, selected from your specific chilled shelves to your self-check-out. Your staff manning the area ignored me, watched me struggle with my laptop bag, basket and shopping bags and drop my basket on the first available self-check-out.
That check-out was dead. As a dodo. I thought it was just saving energy with the screen off (Remember your Plan A because there's no Plan B – Although Plan A is to make 5p per carrier bag on convenience shopping for many years before it is to become mandatory), so tapped the screen and nothing. I work in IT, I have heard of Power Save and Energy Star.
Your staff had the opportunity to help me, they didn't. Not even a helpful out of order sign on the machine was to be seen.
I found another machine. Lugged my stuff over, and scanned my items to find my dine in for 10 was over 20 pounds at the payment screen. I looked around, remembered the staff hadn't helped me earlier, wondered if they could be bothered now and realised I was doing their work anyway. I walked out.
Yes it was me, I left that bag of goods there and I 'simply' walked out of your M&S…
A Silent Protest of Poor Service and Bad Technology
My better half asked me what my silent protest achieved. Well I did point out I wasn't terribly struck on what I was buying anyway and to have to deal with an impulse purchase that was surrounded by bad customer service and dysfunctional technology it wasn't worth my time or money. The dysfunctional self-checkout probably saved my waistline and wallet.
The irony is not lost on me that I'm a Managing Director of a company that implements business cost saving technologies. A self-checkout could be one of those!
This got me thinking. Last weekend I was off doing a relatively large Cisco Meraki project up in a high-tech manufacturing facility. I should say that the Cisco Meraki stuff is lovely kit. My opinion of what may happen to Meraki inside Cisco is another question, but for now let's forget about that!
Cisco Meraki stuff just works, I have never really implemented technology that I haven't found frustrating, scary and puzzling at first (that's on the implementation side, not on the user side I may add). Although I do tend to be a quick study. When I did my training a few years ago (hi @merakisimon!) I flew through the engineers training faster than usual as I found it that easy. Never mind all this datacentre hyperconverged stuff and the guff that is Internet of Things. Meraki is the future of Cisco, provided Cisco resist their Borg mentality to layer it in TPS reports and such like.
Technology that just works…
The kit is so good that during my long weekend of roll-out, whilst we were awaiting areas to be patched into the core switches the wireless access points had automatically found each other, clustered and started serving clients on the network – prior to us even getting a direct LAN connection patched into them. One of the AP's had also caused a head scratcher, when it was serving clients in cluster mode, despite being plugged into an active LAN switch. Turned out we hadn't quite clipped in the AP's network cable.
Equipment so good it works when the engineers haven't quite done their job right!
Yes there are things that it doesn't do that I wish it could, but I can understand it, I don't walk up to it and think it's gone into power save like my self-checkout nightmare. There's an understanding between the human and the tech, not just on the user front end, but the back end of the technology that us IT Pro's use. This is a real game-changer when it comes to technology, quite often the interfaces that us techies use is largely left as rough as it can be with little thought going into it. We're all under pressure to reduce overheads and IT department costs, this is how that process should start – with kit that's easy to administer.
Cisco, traditionally has created its own language, its own ecosystem and made sure that without CCNA and other accreditations you weren't going to touch it. I know a lot of IT Managers who say their life is difficult enough, why use command line these days. I agree too.
We all just need kit in our lives that is easy to use, no learning curves and causes no fear, confusion or frustrations. Networks should be things that can be easily visualised and modified and Meraki makes this easy, command line does not.
With help when you need it
I'm sure I've mentioned customer service on this blog before… maybe just a little! That's all important too, those that have had a Cisco experience a bit like my Marks and Spencer episode of being ignored when I had a problem, you need not worry with the Cisco Meraki brand. The whole platform and ability to raise tickets directly based on the equipment you're having a problem with is built into the dashboard.
Cisco and Meraki are currently taking what's good about each other and putting it to good use. The enterprise resilient hardware technologies and methodologies are coming from big Cisco and being incorporated into Meraki's hardware. Essentially allowing Meraki's cloud based management and dashboard to be used to make enterprise hardware easy to use and configure is a real time saver for ever-stretched IT departments and IT organisations. In return, Cisco are leaving Meraki to keep some independence…
If you want to experience Cisco Meraki yourself and possibly get yourself a free wireless access point, then click here. Otherwise you can also contact us and speak to a real human who'll explain all you need to know about Cisco or Cisco Meraki.
We don't do self-checkouts, but if we did, they'd work and we'd always be there to help!

Food Fight at Milwaukee & Logan
I think we can all agree that croissants are awesome. What two Logan Square businesses cannot agree about is who can sell just one.
Last week, the Chicago Reader covered the news that newly-opened La Boulangerie cannot sell a single croissant, yet can sell them by the dozen. Turns out, owner Vincent Colombet signed a lease with a non-compete clause that prevents his business from selling goods that would overlap with neighboring New Wave Coffee: coffee, tea, sandwiches, baked goods, etc. This is a fairly standard business practice, especially when you consider La Boulangerie and New Wave are in the same building.
People in the rapidly-gentrifying area are up in skinny arms about this, bitching to anyone who will listen in the comments on the Reader story, on Yelp, and of course on the ever colorful Logan Square Yahoo! mailing list. Well, today New Wave owner Zach Zulauf responded on the mailing list. After the jump, the text of the letter:
To my friends and neighbors in Logan Square and any other concerned parties,
I wanted to set the record straight regarding this kerfuffle about croissants, New Wave Coffee & La Boulangerie. When New Wave signed our lease on the space, we put in a pretty standard clause that said that the landlord couldn't rent to other businesses that sold coffee, tea, sandwiches, baked goods, etc. It's nothing unusual, and it only covers from our space to the corner.
Vincent really wanted to rent that corner space, and he came begging us to allow him a special permission to rent that space, even though he'd be selling crepes and baguettes. Our landlord thought Vincent would be a good tenant, and we thought the two businesses could be complimentary. So we sat down and spent a lot of time and effort trying to find a way to allow La Boulangerie to rent that space.
We didn't have to allow the business in. And Vincent didn't have accept our agreement. And he was always welcome to rent the many other store fronts around that we don't have any say over. But Vincent really wanted that location.
Vincent decided that he was perfectly fine not selling coffee, tea, or individual croissants or pastries. And he decided that it was a worthwhile trade off to get that space. So we rewrote some of our lease language to allow him in to the building.
To be clear: La Boulangerie would never have that space if we hadn't worked hard to create an exception to allow them into the building.
Now for Vincent to go crying about the situation is disingenuous. He made an agreement not to sell certain things. He said he was happy with the arrangement. He was thrilled to get the space he wanted. Now if he wants to paint New Wave or myself as the bad guy in this situation, especially after we've gone way out of our way to accommodate him, then he's a man of no honor.
No lawyers, with or without capes, are going to change the agreement that Vincent made with us. If Vincent can't make his business model work within the confines of our agreement, he has no one to blame but himself. This is a problem Vincent decided to create for himself. And for him to go whining to the press and the neighborhood is immature and shows the real problems behind La Boulangerie.
Zach Zulauf
New Wave Coffee
It's unclear how much Colombet was actually complaining to begin with, or if the Reader's Sula was just chatting him up, found out some juicy info, and ran with it.
Either way, business is booming in Logan Square these days, and if a resolution with the lease can't be reached, there are no less than seven empty storefronts on the next block up Milwaukee.

Climate Change, Past, Present and Future
The current climate crisis isn't the first time human beings have faced global climate change. Extreme weather, ice sheets melting into the Arctic ocean, and mega-droughts lasting a century or more: it all happened before, between the tenth and the fifteenth centuries. The global warming of the Middle Ages changed civilization, bringing both great disorder and great opportunity.

Sun/Star of Macedonia mounted on bezel , Extra Large Size
The Macedonian 'sun' or 'star' (has also been described as a 'starburst' by historians) was found embossed on the solid gold larnax in the burial tomb of Philip II of Macedon (father of Alexander the Great) outside the town of Vergina in Northern Greece. The sun which remains today a well known Greek symbol was an emblem of the mighty Macedonian dynasty and possibly a religious symbol at the time of Alexander the Great. The excavations in Vergina constitute a sensational archaeological site, while the larnaca itself is today kept in a museum very close by.
The pendant is double faced (both sides are the same), has a nicely convexed shape. Theres an appealing contrast between the rays that are glossy and the matte background.

Some Thoughts on Mixing Pigs
Wendell Berry in the 'Unsettling of America' writes…'the standards of cheapness and convenience, which are irresistibly simplifying and therefore inevitably exploitative, have been substituted for the standard of health (of both people and land), which would enforce consideration of essential complexities.' To put this into context, Wendell is writing at this point about the fact that 'the consumer wants food to be as cheap as possible' and 'the producer wants it to be as expensive as possible.' In the brackets the text could be paraphrased 'people and pigs'. I recommend this book to anyone who has a genuine calling to, as he succinctly puts it,' living out of the possibility of kindly use' in terms of the way we farm, through understanding and imagination. This is in contrast to the institutional and organisational solutions that have, narrowly defined and simplified actions.
Industrial principles can override essential complexities yet the key to success within industrial production is to understand and to bring to bear benefits inherent in such complexities. For this collection of thoughts, I am indebted to Bobbie Watchorn née Fryers for allowing me to read her degree dissertation, written in 1976 in which she herself acknowledges research as far back as 1949.
For some time, I have believed that mixing pigs whether sows or their progeny, at various stages of their respective production cycles incurs a production cost in degrees of lost performance. Some mixing is unavoidable but most is dictated by industrial thinking. Measurement of this assumed loss is scant and unavailable, hence this piece is just some thoughts on the subject.
The breeding herd.
My belief for the breeding herd is based on the service group being a herd within the (total) herd. The 'ideal' group size for feeding pigs, below, is 10 to 20 and I suspect that this holds true for the service group of sows. It is quite common practise on larger herds to have three separate parts of each service group. There will be the replacement gilts in a group of their own, or on smaller herds they will be housed separately throughout the first gestation in order to manage their development. This is because the gilt will continue to develop towards adulthood possibly through to their second parturition. The sow will be split between small and large which usually equates to parities 2 and 3 in the smalls group and parities 4 and above in the larger animal group. This works reasonably well if the individual service group mirror the herd in parity distribution as parity 1, service to weaning will make up around 24% of the herd, parities 2 and 3 a further 42% and parity 4 and above the remaining 34%. The most important thing about getting the replacement flow and the service group balance correct is that cohorts of animals move through the herd production cycles undisturbed and avoid any introduction of sows outside the cohorts causing maladaptive behaviour leading to stress. Part of achieving this uncompromised flow is a strict management of breeding failure (which is another subject) where the practise of re-serving returns is kept to a minimum level or not at all. The benefit is the mitigation of social upheaval that can contribute to reduced overall output performance. Each parity cohort stays together, apart from any culls and mixes with only one other cohort (in a 1 to 5 parity structure) at the beginning of 4 of the 5 production cycles in a lifetime. This can also contribute to less culls, and reduced sow mortality.
The feeding herd.
The first hierarchy begins to become established in the litter once all the piglets have arrived. The sibling hierarchy will remain as long as siblings are retained in the same group therefore if litters are mixed after weaning pigs become members of more than one hierarchy simultaneously. These complexities need understanding in order to mitigate as much as possible the loss of feed efficiency through stress. Bobbie Watchorn puts it like this 'A knowledge of the maximum number of individuals which can form a linear-type dominance hierarchy would seem to be important. It could be argued that this number might also represent the maximum number of animals which can organise themselves into a behaviourally stable group, and that this should therefore be the maximum number of animals kept in any one pen.'
Pigs of similar social rating tend to continually antagonize one another whereas groups of varied social rating establish more settled dominant/subordinate hierarchy's. Grading pigs into batches at weaning seems to ensure an on-going insecurity in the batch. Any further introduction/removal of pigs leads to further stress. Research suggests that pigs belonging to a single stable hierarchy is limited by the pigs' capacity to remember the identity of the other members of the hierarchy. This supports the importance of size variation within the group.
In her 1976 dissertation, Bobbie Watchorn cites reasonably comprehensive research that suggests the ideal group size is between 10 and 20 pigs for establishing a stable hierarchy. Husbandry will play a large part in achieving and maintaining success at these levels. However, a good proportion of indoor finishing accommodation is based on the 'ideal' population range. Currently weaned pigs are commonly graded into large groups and the group size reduces as they move through. An increasing number of producers are also grading into gender groups. Mixing is therefore considerable.
I have long suspected that long narrow pens, in terms of shape, are detrimental to social stability in feeding herd groups because they increase the encounters between pigs in the pen. Pigs like their personal space just as much as me and you. Bobbie Watchorn highlighted the fact that pigs 'maintain a "personal field" only in front of their heads and often rest side by side in physical contact with one another'.
Much discussion has taken place in recent years on the subject of phase feeding of grouped slaughter generation pigs. This has even more relevance if the grouping is based on the above as it optimizes the efficiency gains from reduced and improved management of grouping these pigs.
There is much more to discuss in regard to the on-going welfare of the pig which ironically Bobbie Watchorn also covers in her work from 1976, but this piece has simply concentrated on some thoughts on the mixing of pigs.
I wish to express my gratitude to Bobbie Watchorn for allowing me to read and use her work.

George Clooney Finds Cinematic Treasure in True Story of Monuments Men
- Christa Banister Crosswalk.com Contributing Writer
- 2014 5 Feb
In the 30 years since a recurring role on TV's The Facts of Life officially put George Clooney on the map, something he still isn't afraid to make a crack about during a recent interview in Los Angeles for his new film Monuments Men, the now 52-year-old actor has played a wide range of memorable characters on the big screen.
Save for that dreadful Batman movie and a couple of romantic comedies that, let's just say, didn't leave a lasting impression with audiences, the Oscar-winner has managed to choose his roles well— whether he was partnering with the Coen Brothers in 2000's O Brother Where Art Thou?, masterminding the perfect casino heist in the "Oceans" trilogy or tackling weightier subject matter in Good Night and Good Luck, Syriana, Michael Clayton and The Ides of March.
But as much as he enjoys disappearing into a motley crew of characters onscreen, Clooney recently admitted that it's directing, not acting, that actually makes him the happiest.
Admitting he prefers directing to acting because he thinks "it's infinitely more creative," he says he found inspiration in a true story that was far less cynical than his previous projects.
Citing his last directorial turn in the politically charged The Ides of March, a project he was proud of but leaned a little heavy on the cynicism, Clooney says that he and frequent collaborator Grant Heslov were not only excited by the thrilling, dramatic real-life story behind Monuments Men but for the opportunity to tell an optimistic story on an epic scale.
"We've made some cynical films, but in general, we really aren't cynical people," Clooney admits. "We wanted to do a movie that wasn't cynical, a movie that was straightforward, old-fashioned and had a positive forward movement to it."
Unlikely Men on a Mission
While looking for a new directorial project that captured his attention, Clooney first became aware of the source material after Heslov finished reading the book, The Monuments Men by Robert M. Edsel with Bret Witter. While living in Florence, Italy, the author says he was inspired to find the answer to a question that he couldn't stop wondering about.
"When I was living in Florence and walking across the Pontevecchio Bridge—the only bridge that wasn't destroyed by the Nazis as they fled in 1944—I wondered how all these cultural treasures were saved and who saved them," Edsel says. "I wanted to find out the answer."
As it turns out, the answer was an unlikely group of men on an unlikely mission, namely the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives group. Heading to the front lines, a small group of artists, art historians, architects and museum curators, led the rescue effort.
"The story of the Monuments Men is one that really very few people know," says Clooney. "Artists, art dealers, architects—these were men that were far beyond the age that they were going to be drafted into a war or volunteer. But they took on this adventure because they had this belief that culture can be destroyed. If they'd failed, it could have meant the loss of six million pieces of art. They weren't going to let that happen, and the truth of the matter is, they pulled it off."
Making a World War II movie with a new, mostly unheard angle was an exciting prospect for Clooney. But what he probably most loved about working on Monuments Men was that it was a story that featured fascinating characters.
"There's a certain romance to movies like The Great Escape, The Dirty Dozen, The Guns of Navarone, The Bridge on the River Kwai," Clooney shares. "In those movies, you fell in love with the characters and the actors as much as the story. And we thought The Monuments Men was a great chance to cast interesting contemporary actors together for our version of that kind of movie—it's a fun and entertaining way to do it."
Getting Into Character
Speaking of entertaining, the ensemble cast for Monuments Men clearly enjoyed working together, a chemistry that was immediately evident in their interactions during the L.A. press junket that Crosswalk recently attended.
Starring Clooney's pal and frequent co-star Matt Damon (Elysium), Bill Murray (Hyde Park on Hudson), John Goodman (Argo), Jean Dujardin (The Artist), Hugh Bonneville (TV's "Downton Abbey"), Bob Balaban (Moonrise Kingdom) and the lone female of the group, Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine), it's clear from their easy laughter—and inside jokes—that Monuments Men was a serious film that was also fun to make.
Even Murray, who is notoriously challenging to track down was game for a good story.
"It was about two years before we started shooting—and I went, 'That sounds so good. I'd really love to be in that movie," Murray shares. "I really liked the story, chasing down stolen art in World War II. It has everything. It's an action movie, but it's also about good guys on the hunt in the name of something beautiful and wonderful."
Keeping the atmosphere light, Clooney, often known for his on-set pranks, left Murray alone but let loose on Damon in rather hilarious fashion.
"He took my wardrobe in by an eighth of an inch every other day," Damon says with a laugh. "He had the wardrobe department do it because he knew I was trying to lose weight."
Thinking it was weird because he'd been faithfully going to the gym, Damon took the tomfoolery in stride, even going on to compliment Clooney on, well, everything.
"George is obscenely talented as a director, I have to say," Damon said. "It can be a little annoying being his pal because it's kind of like God said, 'Maybe this time I'll just give one of them everything. Let's make him handsome, and as he gets older he'll even look better!'"
For more information on The Monuments Men, please visit their website. Written and directed by Clooney, the film opens nationwide on February 7 and is rated PG-13 for some images of war violence and historical smoking.

January 2, 2017 As Seen on Huffington Post
I slipped through a significant and potentially fatal crack nearly 13 years ago when I was diagnosed with advanced stage breast cancer. Following in the footsteps of my mother's yearly regimen, I never missed my annual mammography exam. Within weeks of my 11th normal mammogram, during a routine clinical breast exam, my gynecologist felt a ridge in my right breast. A diagnostic ultrasound illuminated a large lesion, invisible by mammography, and soon after determined to be an advanced stage 3C breast cancer with metastases to 13 lymph nodes. My new-found team of physicians informed me, when I questioned my late-stage cancer diagnosis, that the culprit was my extremely dense breast tissue. This was the first time, in a dozen years, that I was enlightened with the startling truth, known by the medical community, about the limitations of mammography; the tool that I, and millions of women across the globe, count on to detect breast cancer at an early stage. Blindsided and frightened about my late-stage disease, I was outraged that this critical dense breast tissue information was a secret to most women. As opportunity lives in the cracks, I was compelled to expose the secret of the impact of dense breast tissue, both its significant masking and independent cancer risk, to decrease a preventable advanced disease and, in turn, reduce mortality from breast cancer.
I was astonished to uncover a decade of scientific studies prior to my diagnosis concluding that 40% of women have dense breast tissue and that there are other tests, such as ultrasound and MRI, when added to mammography, significantly detect early stage and node negative cancers invisible by mammography. I also was confronted with the brutal fact that my advanced stage breast cancer leaves me at greater risk of dying prematurely from breast cancer in spite of never missing an annual mammography exam. This long list of research compelled me to share my story to policy makers, representing innumerable women with dense breast tissue in my state who continue to fall through the breast cancer screening cracks using mammography alone as a screening for women with dense breasts tissue.
With a laser like focus, it took five years to relentlessly pursue equal access to an early breast cancer diagnosis for women with dense breast tissue through the legislative process as the density reporting bills were strongly opposed by the Connecticut Society of Radiologists. The density reporting bill ultimately crossed the finish line in 2009, because of our advocacy focus in addition to the accumulating scientific evidence, catapulting the state of Connecticut as the pioneer and subsequent leader in density reporting and breast health.
Immediately upon enactment of the 2009 law, Breast radiologist Dr. Jean Weigert, who testified a year before in opposition to the density reporting bill, began acquiring data to investigate whether screening breast ultrasound improves breast cancer detection in women with dense breast tissue and a recent normal mammogram result. She recently published her third research paper, The Connecticut Experiment; The Third Installment: 4 Years of Screening Women with Dense Breasts with Bilateral Ultrasound and speaks of her amazement in a recent article. "I pulled out the data from my five offices for the years 1 through 4. I tallied it all up, compared it, and found--much to my surprise--we continued to find 3.2 additional cancers per thousand in this cohort of patients with breast tissue density greater than 50%." Additionally, the study demonstrated a significant progress in reducing the false positive rate of biopsy, often cited a harm of routine ultrasound screening, where ultrasound now equals the acceptable biopsy rate for mammography.
One of Dr. Weigert's year-4 patients with a recent normal mammogram is 48 years old and at average risk of breast cancer. Having dense breasts, a recommended adjunct ultrasound uncovered a 1.5 cm, triple negative, grade 3, invasive ductal carcinoma with one macro metastasis. If this patient's cancer continued to be missed by mammography and thus delayed, her aggressive cancer most likely would have progressed to a more advanced stage, with less treatment options and poorer survival outcomes.
As we progress with breast cancer screening guidelines for women of average risk and having dense breast tissue, The Connecticut Experiment reveals that we can significantly improve breast cancer detection by reducing interval cancer and advanced disease. The randomized controlled trials of mammography conclude that the magnitude of the reduction of advanced stage breast cancer is associated with the magnitude of the reduction of mortality. Dr. Weigert's retrospective study establishes a powerful role for ultrasound in sealing the cracks of breast cancer screening in women with dense breast tissue, creating an opportunity for a reduction in advanced disease and an improvement in survival outcomes, fulfilling the purpose of a breast cancer screening program.

Since I bought these enamel pins (bought them at Michael's), I have been itching to make a bag to put them on. I made a market bag out of jute the other day (free pattern coming soon, by the way) but once I added the pins to the bag, it just didn't look right. So yesterday I rented a movie for ME (only me, not for the kids, not for my husband) to watch and I decided to crochet this using my Vintage Style Bag pattern and voilà!
The tricky part was to take pictures after I was done because there wasn't anyone to model the bag for me, so I had to improvise and hang the bag outside and on the chair, thankfully my husband has a green thumb and keeps our backyard really neat, which is why I like sitting out there with my coffee everyday.
Well, anyhow if you would like to make a bag as well, the pattern is available here.

Picture You in Agriculture, in conjunction with Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), is pleased to announce Tom Squires from Tasmania and Matt Cumming from New South Wales as the 2019 Wool Young Farming Champions. Young Farming Champions is a program that identifies youth ambassadors and future influencers working within agriculture who promote positive images and perceptions of farming.
Tom Squires grew up around sheep in Tasmania, owned his first mob by age sixteen, completed a Bachelor of Agricultural Commerce in New Zealand and is now living his dream job as a shearer and a farmer. "There's an incredible feeling of excitement as you hear sheep hooves trotting down the ramp into your stockyards, knowing they're your sheep" he says. "But the true thrill comes when you stencil your name onto your first bale of wool. There's that sense of achievement in seeing a fleece being packed into a bale, knowing someone will benefit from what you produced." Tom wants consumers to understand the entire wool supply chain and to realise the true pride farmers have for their produce. "It's a long road to this destination but I want to be a part of the change: One voice, one education, one person at a time."
Matt Cumming owns and operates a shearing contracting business in Inverell in northern NSW, a one-stop shop for all shearing needs from mustering to wool pressing. He employees a core team of six under the age of thirty, and encourages them to reach for the stars. "I am very proud of my team for their workmanship and the pride they take in their work. I especially enjoy the moment when they reach personal milestones, which enables them build confidence in themselves and their work," he says. Matt and his team compete in shearing and wool handling competitions and believe Australia's reputation for high quality wool demands a high quality shearing and wool clip preparation. "I have been mentored by many Australian and World Champions and it is important I pass on my knowledge and experiences and continue to be an advocate for professional standards within the sheep and wool industry."
Tom and Matt will participate in the Young Farming Champions leadership development program, a two-year package of support including media training, networking and mentorship opportunities to help them share their stories with the nation. In the first twelve months they will attend two immersion workshops and in their second year will visit schools as part of The Archibull Prize to raise awareness of the wool industry and the diversity of agricultural careers
Graduates of the Young Farming Champions Program include 2017 Young Australian of the Year finalist Anika Molesworth and 2018 AFR 100 Women of Influence Dr Jo Newton.
