Item details
This piece of material/fabric is medium weight cotton, I think it is broadcloth, white (off white) with country blue stripes. It measures 168" L x 60" W, a little over 4 1/2 yards. This fabric reminds me of a tablecloth and napkins my grandma had in her kitchen when I was growing up. Would be great to make tablecloth and/or napkins for kitchen/picnic tables, curtains, etc......
First picture is of the material, second picture is a close up of the pattern on material, third picture is a closeup of the material.
I have had this plus many more pieces of fabric for a long time. I am getting rid of most of the material I have since I don't do much sewing anymore. Check out the other pieces I have for sale in my shop. There is yardage also, besides just pieces.
Sorry, this material may have a wood smoke smell to it, I have it stored in tubs where I thought the smoke would not penetrate. I do heat with wood during the winter.
I usually ship items within 24 hours of receiving notice of cleared payment either thru etsy checkout or paypal although it can take up to 3 days to ship depending on weekends and holidays. If you want to purchase more than one piece of material from me please contact me so I can change the shipping charges. I will do my best to keep shipping charges down to the US, due to the costs of shipping internationally I have not listed a shipping charge, if you are interested contact me...but material is not lightweight, kinda heavy even small amounts of it.
Thanks for taking a look!!! Have a nice day!!!

Choosing your wedding photographer should take just as much consideration as choosing the right venue or wedding cake. This is not an area that you just want to brush off and choose whoever is recommended from your family or who has the best price. You will want to be able to cherish and show off your wedding images for the rest of your life so you want to take the time to carefully choose the best photographer for you and your fiancé. These steps will help guide you to finding the perfect photographer to shoot your big day.
How would you describe your style?
What You Want to Know: Every photographer has their own unique style. Some photographers will take stunning traditional photos but may struggle with the creative personal portraits you want and vice versa. Knowing what style your photographer specializes in will immediately let you know if they are the one you should be considering.
My Style
I have a clean, modern, photo journalistic style. My style is based on authentic looks that tell the story just like you remember it.
Have you shot a wedding similar to ours?
What You Want to Know: If you are planning a big wedding with over 200 guests, you may not want to go with a photographer that has only shot small and intimate weddings. This is also important for the location as well. Does your photographer have experience shooting in low lighting? Large venues? Small private gardens?
My Depth of Experience
I have shot in several indoor and outdoor venues in the states and oversees. I have captured beautiful images in the brightest of days and darkest of nights.
How many weddings do you typically shoot in a year?
What You Want to Know: Some photographers may only shoot a small number of weddings per year. This may be because they work more closely and spend more time with each of their couples. Other photographers may only do photography as a side job. Also consider asking how long they have been shooting weddings and what other types of photography they do.
My Schedule
Over the last 7 years I have learned that my magic number is 15 weddings a year. At 15 weddings I can deliver the high level of customer service that my clients require.
What does your typical wedding day schedule look like?
What You Want to Know: This will give you an idea of how early you can expect your photographer to show up and begin shooting on the day of and how late they usually stay. This will also let you know what you can expect on your wedding day in terms of what types of photos they tend to include throughout the day.
First Curl to Last Dance
My approach to telling your wedding story is full day coverage from first curl to last dance. As soon as you and your girls start getting ready I will be there.
What are some of the biggest challenges you have faced when shooting a wedding and how have you handled them?
What You Want to Know: This answer to this question can be very telling. If the photographer says they have never had any challenges you might not want to go with them. There is always some kind of setback on the wedding day from the weather not cooperating, traffic throwing off the timeline, wardrobe malfunctions to equipment malfunctions. You want to trust that your photographer can handle the stress and be honest with you to ensure that they can assist in helping everything run smoothly.
Stress free is for me
Once as the bride was getting ready she realized the seamstress forgot to pack the belt / sash for her wedding dress. I immediately reached out to a local bridal shop and I was able to drive and get a backup sash so the bride could go on with the day. Throughout the day I am focused on stopping stress so you can have a smooth wedding day.
Can you describe what your post process is like?
What You Want to Know: Not only will this tell you just how long you can expect to wait for your edited images but this will also give you a clear idea of what techniques your photographer uses. How many images can you expect? How many of these images do they retouch? Can you view the complete set of images? How can you get prints made? The editing process will take at least a month so you want to make sure the wait is worth it and the final product you receive is something you will be able to cherish for years to come.
After the big day
You can expect to see your images within a month of your big day. We will post sneak peaks on Instagram and other social media sites. Once you receive the link to your online gallery you will see all of your images edited by hand. A good mix of black and white and custom edits will be highlighted throughout your album. You will then be able to order images online or schedule an appointment to design your heirloom album.

early abortions, New York City, New Jersey, Aspiration Procedure, early abortion, abortion pill
A: Dear Natalie, Thank you for your question about early abortions in New York City and New Jersey. Many women are not aware that they have more options in terminating a pregnancy if they are less than 10 weeks pregnant. My preferred method for early abortion is the Aspiration Procedure. This nonsurgical, noninvasive procedure only takes a few minutes to complete. It is a natural procedure and does not involve electric suction, scraping of the uterus, or general sedation. Most women describe the procedure as similar to getting a pap smear. You recover immediately, and can resume your normal activities when you leave the office. The Aspiration...
What Are the Pros and Cons of early abortion?
A: An early abortion is generally defined as one that occurs before the 10th week of pregnancy. Having the procedure done during this time allows a person to quickly act on her decision before the fetus goes through major developmental changes. It also affords her the opportunity to terminate the pregnancy using safer and gentler options than she will have later. The negative aspect of early abortions is that the feeling of having a deadline can motivate a woman who has not made a firm decision to act prematurely. early abortion allows a woman to terminate her pregnancy before there are any visible signs so that she can move on with her life....
time frame of early abortion
A: Hello, joan, First of all, 9 weeks isn"t an early abortion. For one thing, a pill abortion will no longer work. But more importantly, abortion could greatly increase the medical harm she is experiencing. Also, I don"t offhand see any reason why her fetus would have been harmed by the diet, especially if she gets away from the chemicals at this point. If the baby were greatly harmed, she probably would have miscarried. One thing I want to warn you about the Atkins diet is that it uses artificial sweeteners, and these are also very harmful. I don"t know if you mean to say that she is on 10 servings of carbs a day, or 10 grams of carbs. There are other alternatives. For example, if you...
abortion Pill, Aspiration Procedure, early abortion Methods, surgical abortion
A: Dear Erica, There are two early abortion methods that are safe and noninvasive: the abortion Pill, and the Aspiration abortion Procedure. I recommend both of these methods over a surgical abortion. The Aspiration abortion procedure is different from a surgical abortion because 1) there is no scraping; 2) there is no electric suction; 3) there is minimal discomfort so there is no need to be put to sleep; 4) there is immediate recovery; 5) it can me done in a private examination room, not an operaing room; 6) it is nonsurgical so you can eat and drink before your visit; and 7) you can resume your normal...
Safest early abortion Methods, Aspiration Procedure
A: Dear Jenny, Your question is similar to another question I answered yesterday -I am thinking you asked both questions. Just in case, I have cut and pasted the other answer, in case you did not get it. According to my own knowledge, having had 3 abortions does not put you at significant risk for placenta previa, but I do not have enough medical information about your history to feel comfortable answering this question. IF you WANT the pregnancy and are considering continuing the pregnancy, you should set up an appointment with a good OB/Gyn as soon as possible who will look at your history and help you make a decision regarding the risks. IF you DO NOT want to continue the pregnancy, the safest way for you to end and
abortion pill, early abortion, cytotec abortion, misoprostol, aspiration abortion
A: Dear Yosoymia, I"m sorry you"re having such a hard time getting the medical care you need. If you lived in a country with legal abortion, it would be better for you to see a doctor. Cytotec abortions only work about 80% of the time. RU486, or Mifepristone, increases your chances to almost 100%. The best early abortion procedure is the nonsurgical Aspiration Procedure. This procedure takes less than 5 minutes, is very gentle, and does not utilize scraping or electric suction. I do not know of an office that offers the Aspiration procedure in Arizona, but there is an office in New Mexico. You can find this office at http://www.early
Safest early abortion Method Aspiration Procedure
A: Dear E, The most wonderful thing about the Aspiration abortion method and the abortion Pill is that they do not cause risks for future pregnancies. The Aspiration Procedure and the abortion Pill are the safest early abortion methods. They are both nonsurgical methods, and allow the uterus to naturally release the early pregnancy lining (which is similar to a heavy period). Surgical abortion is extremely safe, and there is virtually no risk from getting repeat surgical abortions. However, if you are able to get an Aspiration procedure or the
early abortion options
A: Dear Steph, It sounds like you are making the right decision for yourself at this time. First, there is very little risk of perforation with an early pregnancy. Usually this would happen with someone who is further along, and who had multiple c-sections. Even if an extremely unlikely perforation happened for an early pregnancy, it is typically mild and treated like a bruise - the uterus heals very quickly. Surgical abortion is one of the safest medical procedures and complications are extremely rare. However, if this still scares you, you are very early in your pregnancy and you are eligible to get a non surgical abortion. The
Safe early abortion Methods and Procedures
A: Dear Rads, The most safe early abortion methods are the Aspiration Procedure and the abortion Pill. These nonsurgical methods are best described in earlyabortion.com. Unfortunately, even though the World Health Organization endorses the Aspiration abortion Method as the safest abortion procedure, it is extremely difficult to find a doctor who performs it in most countries. However, the abortion pill is easier to find, and the earlier you use it, the more simple it is. My third choice would be a surgical abortion method. If this is your...
how to find an early abortion doctor or clinic
A: Yes, National abortion Federation Clinics are reputable. You should get good care there. You may want to consider the abortion pill at this stage of pregnancy if the manual aspiration procedure is not available. I hope this is helpful, Doctor Joan earlyabortionOptions.com...

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) reports the results from its first fiscal quarter of 2014 on Oct. 24. Goldman Sachs analysts note that the company's near-term fundamentals haven't been the primary focus lately. However, they're especially concerned about Windows sales, and their estimate for the division is $180 million below Wall Street consensus.
Goldman thinks consensus for Microsoft is too high
In their report this week to investors, analysts Heather Bellini, Sonya Banerjee, Shateel Alam and Brian Baytosh are estimating revenue of $17.75 billion and earnings of 53 cents per share for Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT). That's compared to average Wall Street estimates of $17.83 billion in revenue and earnings of 55 cents per share. They said their lower estimates are due to their view that Windows will be a problem area for the company in the most recently completed quarter.
They estimate that global PC shipments fell 11.5 percent year over year during the third quarter of the year. However, IDC's preliminary data suggests that they only fell 7.6 percent year over year. They did not adjust their Windows forecast because the data from IDC is still preliminary. However, it implies a $65 million tailwind for Microsoft's next quarterly report, which would add less than half a penny to Microsoft's earnings per share.
The analysts also believe consensus margins are too high, but they note that Microsoft's fundamentals aren't what have been driving its stock recently.
Expectations for the current quarter
For Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)'s second fiscal quarter of the year, the Goldman Sachs analysts are estimating revenue of $22.85 billion and 70 cents per share in revenue. That's compared to consensus estimates of $22.88 billion and 75 cents per share in earnings. Once again, they're expecting Windows sales to be less than others are expecting. Their Windows estimate is about 5 percent below Wall Street expectations, although they said it's "slightly offset" by their "more optimistic view" on Microsoft Business Division, which is 2 percent above consensus.
Another key part of their lower estimates is again their operating forecast, which is 33.6 percent for the last three months of the year. That's about 50 basis points below consensus, and it factors in the launch of the Xbox One, sales from the Surface tablets, and continuing investments as Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) keeps pushing toward a greater focus on devices and services.
The Goldman Sachs analysts maintained their Sell rating and $28 per share price target on Microsoft. As of this writing, shares were up less than 1 percent.

Little M and I saw some small, simple ghosts hanging from a tree the other day when we were out walking Feeney. He pointed and laughed. I told him they're called "ghosts" and asked if he'd like to make some. He laughed. He doesn't say "yes" yet, he just laughs his assent.
So yesterday after getting our flu shots bright and early at his pediatrician's office, we went to JoAnn's for our special project supplies. While talking about what we were going to make he was repeating "ghos," but by the time we were hanging them on the tree in our front yard he was calling them "boos."
... Just before making our boos, we were running around the addition and I hid behind a wall and jumped out shouting "boo!"As I jumped out, my mind was simultaneously thinking, "this could be a really bad idea." But Little M screeched with delight and started hiding behind walls and shouting "boo" at me. Then my wild child and I went inside to make ghosts, which I told him "say boo." So these are now boos and that's why.
makes 6 ghosts
2 yards of inexpensive dress lining or similarly gauzy fabric
6 - 3" styrofoam
fishing line cut into 6 ~12" lengths
black sharpie
fabric scissors
To make the ghosts
1. Trim selvedge edges off of fabric
2. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise and cut into two (2) long strips
3. Cut each strip into three (3) equal pieces, resulting in 6 approximate squares
4. Place a styrofoam ball in the center of each square
5. Cinch fabric around the base of the ball and tie tight with one end of the fishing line to make the ghost's neck
6. Knot the other end of the fishing line into a hanging loop
7. Draw eyes and a mouth on the ghost's face, opposite the knot - we did a mix of smiles and "O" boo faces
8. Hang from trees in your yard
Happy Halloween!

In Recession, Renters Are Tripling Up Instead of Doubling Up to Save Money
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - September 29, 2009) - Faced with uncertain economic times,
renters around the nation are saving money on their monthly housing costs
by opting to split a 3-bedroom apartment rather than living alone in more
expensive 1-bedroom apartments. MyNewPlace, one of the largest online
apartment listing sites, recently conducted a survey of internal search
data, which showed that the share of searches for 3-bedroom apartments made
significant gains at the expense of 1-bedroom apartments since the
beginning of 2008.
Based on a sample of nearly 10 million searches for 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom
apartments that took place on MyNewPlace.com between January 2008 and June
2009, the percentage of searches for 3-bedroom apartments consistently
increased each quarter while searches for 1-bedroom apartments decreased.
The share of searches for 2-bedroom apartments meanwhile stayed steady,
suggesting that instead of 'doubling up,' renters are tripling up for even
greater rent savings.
Since monthly rents are often lower per bedroom the more bedrooms an
apartment has, the changing search patterns reflect an overall trend of
renters looking for more economical housing options without sacrificing
ideal locations and amenities.
Top Ten Cities for Roommates Looking to Save on Housing
Where are savvy renters saving money by moving in with roommates? Combining
regional search data with average prices for apartments listed on
MyNewPlace, MyNewPlace.com put together a list of the top ten cities where
renters are saving:
-- Washington, DC: Not surprisingly, the cities with the highest rents
often offer the highest potential for savings. The share of 3-bedroom
searches in the area around the nation's capital has grown by 87%, with
renters saving as much as $800/month by bunking up -- nearly $10,000 per
-- Philadelphia: Faced with high housing costs, renters in the City of
Brotherly Love are getting friendlier than ever, with searches for 3-
bedroom apartments more than doubling, with average savings of around $490
per month.
-- Atlanta: Atlanta saw 1-bedroom searches decline by half and 3-bedroom
searches more than double, as eager renters pursued $413/month savings by
moving in with roommates.
-- San Jose: Silicon Valley renters sought to mitigate the area's
notoriously expensive rents by finding roommates -- at a savings of more
than $600/month.
-- Chicago: Windy City residents braced against the chilly economic
climate by cozying up with roommates, doubling up their 3-bedroom searches,
to the tune of $560/month savings.
-- Denver: Renters are tripling up in the Mile High City at some of the
highest rates in the country, and saving nearly $350/month in the process.
-- Los Angeles: In the City of Angels, even the beautiful people are
moving in together. Three beautiful people under one roof could save more
than $525 each.
-- Seattle: 3-bedroom search share increased 113% from January 2008 to
June 2009, with savings of up to $500/month for each roommate. That's a lot
of cups of coffee.
-- Las Vegas: Nevadans aren't gambling when it comes to their housing
costs. Las Vegas has among the highest growth in 3-bedroom searches
nationwide, and each roommate could be saving $360/month.
-- Boston & Cambridge: Renters in the Boston area aren't tripling up at
quite the rates of the rest of the cities on our list, but they should be
-- there's up to $880/month to be saved.

Since the recession officially began in December 2007, renters have increasingly searched for 3-bedroom apartments over 1-bedroom apartments.

Bankers and traders found guilty of rigging benchmark rates from Libor to oil would face tougher fines and other sanctions in the future under a deal reached by the European Union to overhaul its penalties for market abuse.
Nations clinched a draft accord with European Parliament lawmakers to toughen sanctions against market abuse. The accord sets out minimum penalties available to regulators when they punish perpetrators. As well as rate rigging, the draft law covers other kinds of market manipulation and insider trading.
"On top of manipulation of Libor we are witnessing more alleged and potential manipulation of benchmarks in energy markets such as oil and gas, while investigations have begun into whether traders at some of the world's biggest banks have manipulated foreign exchange rates," Arlene McCarthy, the parliament's lead lawmaker on the proposals, said in an e-mailed statement on the deal. The law ''provides for tough minimum sanctions and a permanent ban from working in the industry."
Global regulators have fined UBS AG, Barclays Plc and Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc about $2.5 billion in the past year for distorting Libor and similar benchmarks. At least a dozen firms remain under investigation around the world. Probes into potential rigging have expanded beyond interbank lending rates such as Libor to include markets ranging from oil prices to foreign exchange.
Oil Probe
Royal Dutch Shell Plc, BP Plc, Statoil ASA and Platts, the oil-price data collector owned by McGraw Hill Financial Inc., are being investigated by the European Commission on price fixing concerns.
Michel Barnier, the EU's financial services commissioner, said the new rules would respond "recent scandals on interest rate, commodity and currency benchmarks."
He said investors will "be reassured that manipulation of benchmarks is prohibited and subject to strict sanctions."
Financial Stability Board Chairman Mark Carney, the next Bank of England governor, said this week that global regulators will set up a task force with banks in a bid to repair or replace tarnished benchmarks in the wake of the rate-rigging scandals.
Legislators and national officials had to overcome splits on topics including the maximum fines available to regulators, with legislators pushing for stronger sanctions than those proposed by national governments.

OCZ ARC 100 240GB SATA SSD Full Review - Barefoot 3 M10 on the cheap
HD Tach will test the sequential read, random access and interface burst speeds of your attached storage device (hard drive, flash drive, removable drive, etc). All drive technologies such as SCSI, IDE/ATA, 1394, USB, SATA and RAID are supported. Test results from HD Tach can be used to confirm manufacturer specs, analyze your system for proper performance, and compare your performance with others. HD Tach is very easy to use, quick, and presents data in easy to read graphs, including the ability to compare two storage devices on screen at the same time for easy analysis.
Bursts are provided only for your review. SSD's don't cache the same way HDD's do (in many cases they don't cache reads at all), so burst testing typically results in figures that are lower than the sequential throughput figures, regardless of controller used.
HDTach feeds the tested drive a continuous string of small sequential requests. This is a single threaded operation, which means the SSD doesn't get to see what's coming next. The lower the QD=1 latency of the controller pipeline, the better the numbers we see from this test. It doesn't equate to real-world maximum throughput, but it does mean something for analysis, which is why we include these results. Here we can see how the various controllers handle this type of workload:
- The Indilinx M10 controller does well with the Vertex 460, but appears to behave in a detuned manner in the ARC.
- Marvell (Crucial) sees limited read speed, as each IO request in series requires an LBA map table lookup, which is forced to occur in series, slowing the read speed overall. Not shown on the graph is that the read speeds were ~450 MB/sec on the first pass (before the drive was fully written). Writes at QD=1 are handled well overall, but at the 128GB capacity, we can see an obvious impact of the reduced die count.
- The Samsung 840 EVO's triple core ARM controller does well with very low latency.
- SandForce (Intel Pro 2500) has a hard time on QD=1 reads as well, given that controller's relatively long instruction pipeline (double encrypted).
- The Intel 730 uses an overclocked version of their own DC S3500/S3700 enterprise controller, which was purpose-built with low IO latency in mind, so high scores here are a given.
This is the sort of reason why we keep these benches around. Their output may be dated, but it still has meaning, and when interpreted correctly, can tell us things other benches have a hard time replicating.
I know this is off topic, but whatever happened to intel's DC P3500? Is that ever going to be released?
The DC P3500 is suppose to be released by the end of August. I am waiting to buy one when it does.
.50/GB is decent, but I would love to see everyday prices dip into the .30/GB range or below.
Think it won't happen until we start making over 1.5tb in 2.5"
Based on how the SSD prices have been declining in the last 2 years, I think that $0.30/Gb is obtainable within 2 years easily, regardless of whether or not 2.5" 1.5Tb hard drives are available. I have had a 2.5" 1Tb Hard drive since 2009 and there hasn't been any indication that there is any demand for anything larger for a laptop. I have seen 2.5" 2Tb hard drives but the height is too tall to fit in most laptops.

Three things are necessary for good employment; academic, process and interpersonal skills. While academic knowledge was used to map job skills in days gone by, today's jobs require process skills. Unfortunately, process skills change rapidly, dramatically and exponentially and in ways academics cannot predict. Work also requires interaction, engagement and collaboration with other people. The quality of this communication has a direct bearing on output and productivity. While interpersonal skills are not directly taught in school and are assumed to be a product of 'upbrining" and culture, this assumption often leads to unwarranted communication disasters in the workplace. Employers find it necessary to develop employee work ethics and communication skills just to retain a productive community. In employment academic skills are not enough, process skills need to be updated, however, interpersonal skills are essential for success.

Case Study
World-class mechanical sealing specialist chooses Solid Edge for 3D modeling
AESSEAL (Solid Edge and NX)
Solid Edge has empowered AESSEAL's design team to work more effectively, enabling the company to develop and introduce the complex products that are now demanded by the highly competitive mechanical sealing industry
The AESSEAL group of companies are world-class specialists in the mechanical sealing industry that design, manufacture and distribute precision engineered mechanical seals and sealing systems. It is an incredibly competitive industry and AESSEAL has become the only major international new entrant in the last twenty years.
The company has sold several million seals since 1979 and has increased sales by more than 20 percent year over year, to reach an expected turnover for 2004 of £46m. Today, they export 75 percent of its output to 64 countries worldwide.
The keys to AESSEAL's success are continued product innovation and development and a strong belief in customer service. Over the years the company has started to develop increasingly complex products. It was becoming more time consuming and laborious to create the sophisticated designs that were needed and the designers found it difficult to visualize complex products using the 2D computer aided design (CAD) software the company had relied upon for many years.
A need for 3D modeling software
In 1999, AESSEAL had ambitious plans to broaden the product range and to introduce even more speciality components. Recognizing the extra burden this would place on the design team and the 2D CAD software it was using, the company tasked senior designer, Chris Newton, with the objective of finding more effective 3D CAD modeling software that would enable the designers to do their job more effectively. If they continued to use their old 2D CAD software, the designers would find it almost impossible to visualize and create many of the new components that were planned for the future.
There were growing inefficiencies and wasted time because the designers were restricted by what they could do with the software. "It could take two to three days to create and lay out the design of intricate components such as helical scrolls – a part which is incorporated into pumping devices," Newton explains.
On top of this, it could take another full day to transfer information from the 2D CAD package to the machine tools that are used to manufacture the components. This cumbersome process required engineers to perform trigonometric calculations and re-program the machine tools manually. All the while, the machine tools were sitting idle and it was estimated that they were running at 20 percent efficiency.
Eliminating bottlenecks
By upgrading to 3D CAD modeling software, the company was hoping to eliminate bottlenecks and to reduce the time it took to bring products from conception to production.
The company felt the solution that most suited its needs was Solid Edge® from Siemens, a powerful 3D CAD software that embeds design data management capabilities. This, complemented by Solid Edge's superior core modeling and process workflows, greatly eases the design of the increasingly complex products required to meet today's changing market demands.
In addition to Solid Edge, AESSEAL realized that it could benefit from the total integration of NX™ CAM, the machining module from Siemens' NX digital manufacturing portfolio. NX CAM enables the 3D designs that have been created on Solid Edge to be programmed to create CNC part program files that can be loaded directly onto the multiple machine tools on the shop floor at any one of AESSEAL's production facilities worldwide.
One of AESSEAL's priorities was to choose a design product from a major player that was sure to be around and providing ongoing support for years to come. The company built a short list based on the large well established suppliers of 3D modeling software which included Solid Edge, Solid Works, Pro Engineer and Mechanical Desktop from Autodesk.
Solid Edge passed all the tests
When Newton started checking off the criteria he wanted in the new software, the list soon began to narrow and it was obvious that Solid Edge passed all the tests.
First, Solid Edge was able to run on PC workstations, which AESSEAL preferred to the more expensive UNIX systems that other packages required.
Next, Solid Edge allowed the designers to easily switch between 3D and 2D if they needed to. For example, some of the designers wanted to be able to put initial thoughts on an electronic drawing board in 2D to help them think through a design and conceptualize it. With competitive products it was not as straightforward to do this.
Another major benefit was the fact that Solid Edge could integrate totally with Siemens' NX CAM software, enabling AESSEAL to streamline the complete process from product design to getting the designs into manufacture and onto its machine tools as electronic files.
But the overriding reason for Solid Edge being chosen was that it was far and away the easiest to use. Newton explains, "I've used a wide number of CAD packages in my time and I can quite clearly say that Solid Edge is the easiest to pick up and run with. It's so intuitive. After completing the initial introductory training it's possible to go away and use the package to design quite complex products."
Finally, Solid Edge was interoperable with AESSEAL's other applications such as Algor, its Finite Element Analysis (FEA) package. The analytical tool allows a trained engineer to take the 3D component models and simulate how they will react in the field under different conditions such as temperatures and pressures. This process is now a key part of AESSEAL's new product testing process that helps assess whether a design is sound or faulty.
The company initially purchased a single seat of Solid Edge at its global headquarters in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom, from the Siemens value added reseller SOLID Applications Ltd. Within months, AESSEAL was adding more seats and it now runs 17 seats on a PC network in Rotherham, another couple in Derby and Peterborough and nine seats in Pune, India, as well as one in China and another in Knoxville, Tenneessee, United States, for a total of 30 seats.
A smooth migration to Solid Edge
Technically, the migration to Solid Edge was very smooth. AESSEAL continued to run its existing 2D software for a time, with Siemens and SOLID Applications conducting on-site training for the company's design team. The solution is incorporated into AESSEAL's workflow software, ADMIT, which allows designers to store and retrieve designs and instigates the various approval and checking processes that a design needs to go through before it is passed.
At the same time as introducing Solid Edge, AESSEAL implemented NX CAM, which it purchased direct from Siemens. The company currently runs five seats of NX CAM on its network in Rotherham and India.
The biggest challenge in moving to Solid Edge was probably more a cultural one versus a technological one. Many of AESSEAL's designers had grown so used to working in 2D over the years that it was a difficult process for them to transition to 3D. But the fact that Solid Edge is so easy to pick up, use and embraces a complete hybrid 2D/3D design workflow has helped to make this pill a little easier to swallow.
The most significant benefit
The most significant benefit that has emerged from using Solid Edge is that the company has empowered the design team to work more effectively, enabling the company to develop and introduce the complex products that are demanded by the market more quickly than previously.
The design team is able to visualize and develop designs with greater ease and elegance, so that the time to complete complex jobs has been slashed. Newton notes, "By using Solid Edge the time that the designers take in completing complicated jobs, such as designing an intricate helical scroll, has been slashed from two days to around half an hour."
Added to this, with NX CAM the complete process has been automated so it only takes minutes to program and transfer 3D designs generated on Solid Edge into CNC files, which can be fed directly onto the machine tools on the shop floor. Previously, for a complex job, this could absorb a day of manual programming on the machine tools.
Solid Edge has also transformed the way that AESSEAL communicates with casting suppliers who make the castings for use in the manufacturing process. In the past, the company would have to share the raw design data with casting suppliers who would then have to re-create AESSEAL's designs using their own design software. Using Solid Edge, AESSEAL can email the 3D model as an IGES electronic file which the casting suppliers can incorporate into their systems.
Finally, the 3D models created on Solid Edge are powerful sales and marketing tools. The 3D models are imported into AESSEAL's Interactive Product Animator marketing software to create stills and animations that can be used in presentations and corporate videos.
"Mechanical seals have hundreds of precision parts inside that have taken years to develop," says Jonathan Woodhead, AESSEAL's worldwide marketing manager. "But from the outside they just appear to be a hunk of metal. By enabling customers and potential customers to see animations and 3D models of what is actually going on inside the seals, we can provide much better insight into what people are buying and produce more persuasive sales messages."
Queen's Award for Innovation
Solid Edge was instrumental in helping AESSEAL win its sixth Queen's Award for Innovation in 2003 for a range of products for use in refineries. One of the patented features of the winning product range was a 3D pumping scroll, part of a mechanical seal that forces cooling fluid around the seal to ensure it can work at high temperatures and ensures it is kept lubricated. This is an extremely complex component that can only be properly visualized and designed in 3D. Before implementing Solid Edge, AESSEAL's designers would have been unable to create the necessary designs.

FINANCIAL ADVANTAGES to Managed Care Plans – There are a wide range of sorts of Health protection arranges out there. Picking the right one for yourself can be troublesome at the outset, particularly on the off chance that you don't realize what you are searching for. You may experience difficulty choosing which one would be better for you.
Medical coverage is separated into two expansive classifications reimbursement and oversaw care arranges. Repayment arranges, additionally usually called repayment arrangements, will repay your medicinal costs up to a specific point of confinement. Under the Reimbursement arrange, the safety net provider pays a rate of the aggregate charges, paying little mind to how much the charges are. With the repayment arrange, the back up plan will pay a predetermined sum each day for a predefined number of days. The sum repaid does not depend on the expense of therapeutic consideration, but rather what you are repaid will never surpass your costs.
The other famous kind of medical coverage arrangements is overseen care arranges. The three sorts of financial information approaches arranged as oversaw consideration arrangements are HMOs, POSs, and PPOs. This kind of protection is more famous than the reimbursement arrangement, as they offer more adaptability. With these sorts of choices you either pay a month to month charge regardless of how often you see a specialist, or pay a co-installment however no month to month expense. With oversaw care arranges, you are given alternatives of consideration.
The arrangement you pick and the measure of cash you wish to pay decides how huge of a system of specialists and experts you can see and still be secured under the arrangement. Some oversaw auto arranges (frequently PPOs) offer sponsorship programs from a system of clinics and medicinal administrations. You can frequently get this sort of arrangement through your boss.
Overseen human services arrangements are better for the normal individual because of the way that they are more financially savvy. While reimbursement arrangements might give you significantly more flexibility in cost, you will need to utilize the medicinal services supplier that the safety net provider picks.

On the off chance that you have a particular handicap, this can introduce itself as an issue. Over the long haul, an oversaw care arrangement will spare you cash, particularly if crises emerge when you are away. These sorts of arrangements likewise are more adaptable in approach. Before you buy any sort of medical coverage, make certain to inquire about the numerous choices accessible for you and your family to guarantee you get the most ideal scope for the least month to month premium or deductible.

Salem Oregon to Residents: Economic Independence is a Privilege, Not a Right
Megan has a very well maintained 1920's cottage in Salem Oregon.
To become economically independent, she rents out a portion of it to guests for $65 a night through airbnb.com
So far, it's been a win win for Megan and her guests.
She earns the extra income she needs to pay for her home and they get a nicely appointed, cost effective, and friendly place to stay the night.
Unfortunately, the city of Salem doesn't see it that way.
Salem's bureaucrats, like most of the bureaucrats running America's cities, don't view economic independence as a right.
They see economic independence as a privilege only they can grant.
Worse, in order to maintain their control over residents and protect existing businesses, the city has established rules that make renting a room nearly impossible.
Salem claims that Megan must:
- Obtain a conditional use permit.
- Present her plans in a public hearing.
- Pay a nearly $3,000 licensing fee.
In other words, there's no way Megan would rent her spare room if she had to get permission from Salem in this way. It's simply too hard and too expensive.
Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Salem isn't the only city where the bureaucrats prevent Americans from exercising their right to pursue economic independence.
It's going on nearly everywhere.
Fortunately, we can turn this around.
The first thing that needs to change is how cities deal with economic independence. We need to bring this thinking into the 21th Century.

| WMU News
KALAMAZOO—Building on efforts started earlier in 2012, Western Michigan University is creating a new Sustainability Across Research and Teaching faculty learning community that will begin in January and run through April 2014.
This new faculty learning community is being created to advance understanding of sustainability and to explore its implications for all disciplines.
Participants will meet once every three weeks for two hours, delve into existing research on common areas of inquiry and then design and pursue individual projects to promote sustainability in the curriculum. They will be encouraged to develop new sustainability-oriented courses, revise existing courses and apply for grants.
Space is limited, so interested faculty should register by Saturday, Jan. 12, at wmich.edu/facdev/Programs/Communities.html.
The latest program, called StART-II, builds on one of the central recommendations of a program run earlier in 2012, StART-I. That program was comprised of 42 faculty from all seven academic colleges to create more ongoing sustainability-oriented faculty development opportunities.
For more information, call the WMU Office of Sustainability at (269) 387-0742 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

2014 Equity Intern: Gemechu Geleto
Gemechu has been described by his professors as being dedicated and showing great initiative. He has demonstrated continual ambition for achieving his goals. After faced with adversity in high school, he overcame all obstacles to enter college, where he embraced the new challenges and opportunities.
During his first year at Washington State University, Gemechu gained laboratory experience, was one of few students to earn an "A" in Organic Chemistry, and was asked to run for House President of Delta Chi. While the offer from his fraternity was exciting, Gemechu turned it down, taking on the role of Scholarship Chairman instead, so he could continue to focus on his studies. "I developed an interest in science, taking classes such as general chemistry and biology, which transformed the way I viewed the world," he says.
Gemechu is a pre-med student majoring in biochemistry and planning on attending medical school to become an orthopedic surgeon. To achieve this goal, he has continued to demonstrate strong initiative by seeking out opportunities to gain experience in a medical setting. He volunteers with PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center in Vancouver, Washington, where he coordinates patient schedules and works directly with patients and families. His excellent social skills and ability to speak Oromiffa and English have assisted Gemechu in explaining medicinal effects to patients and working effectively in groups.
His interest in orthopedics grew from the desire to help those who have suffered from injuries so that they can regain and maintain good health. "I strive for excellence on a daily basis," Gemechu says. "I want my future patients to know they have the best doctor in me."
Gemechu will start down his pathway to orthopedics through the Summer Equity Research Internship Program. This competitive, eight-week internship is sponsored by the Center for Diversity and Inclusion, and places outstanding students like Gemechu in laboratory research settings at OHSU. Gemechu is working with Paul Gorman, M.D., in Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology this summer. He will also have the opportunity to shadow Dennis Crawford, M.D., Ph.D., in the Sports Medicine department.
At Dr. Gorman's lab, Gemechu is working on a research project that analyzes, observes, and potentially verifies both quantitatively and qualitatively the correlation between cognitive function, sleep, and overall quality of life in elders with regular exercise. "Through the use of self-automated and semi-automated computer based exercise systems equipped with motion sensor technology and its ability to coach the elderly population. We aim to implement an exercise intervention in the homes of these subjects that will improve their health in all aspects long-term so that they may retain their independence in their homes," he says.
For more information about the Summer Equity Internship Program, contact David Martinez, Manager of Student Recruitment and Retention.

I got a box of these for each eye (different rx's) last year to use for special occasions. For reference, I have blue-green eyes, but I got the "shine" ones for the enlarging effect. THEY WORK ON LIGHT EYES. Yes, they are more noticeable, but in a good way. My eyes definitely looked bigger, and also more brown/hazel. They didn't completely cover the green, so they added depth to my eyes with the extra color. They weren't obviously contacts unless someone got really close (like in my buffer zone). The only issue I ever had with them was when I would tilt my head for pictures-- sometimes the ring around the iris would be "off" and it would look a bit strange. Probably not even noticeable, except I was looking for it. I am going to try a different color this time, but it's a real struggle because I've loved these so much!

It is an asset to know French and have a drivers license. The kind of tasks that wed like you to do are: pick up Max from the schoolbus (between 3:45 and 4:15 pm); prepare his meal; engage in intellectually and physically stimulating activities; occasionally prepare Max for bedtime; light Housekeeping/home maintenance duties like dusting, hovering, washing, ironing. We expect you to assume the responsibility of our home when we are both absent. Working hours are somewhat flexible. The hours should cover 3:30 - 5:30 pm, but you can start earlier or work later if you want. We expect it to total to about 15-20 hours/week. This can be spread over 3 to 5 days a week, whatever is most convenient for you. We are considering signing him up for after school activities one day of the week and have him dropped off at his grandparents another day, so that we only need care for 3 days. If you are looking for full-time, we can probably pair you up with another family in the neighborhood. Hourly rate is negotiable. We live about 10 minutes walk from the 253 busstop in Caulfield.

I am home, I am home, I am home! It feels so good to be back in New Hampshire. Sleeping in my own bed, with Nessie snuggled by my foot. To come home to Kip's wiggly butt and puppy dog kisses. To be able to open the pantry and choose from all of my food what I want to have for a meal or a snack. To be able to shower in my own shower, and to have fresh water to clean my hair with… not saying that the hotel water was dirty, but my hair always looks cray cray when I'm using unknown hotel water.
One of the things that I am most excited about is getting back into a routine. I am so excited to start meal prepping again, but actually really meal prepping. While I've done a good job of always having meals on hand, sometimes by mid-week I slack and don't want to prep more food for the rest of the week. I really want to get back into having all main meals ready for the entire work week.
I arrived home yesterday afternoon, and after a mini workout, I showered and went grocery shopping. All that I have been craving is a big bowl of chili. Last week I had bookmarked a chili that I found, and decided to recreate it.
With Gerry almost back into school mode to finish his accounting degree, I'll have more time to prep. The great thing is that he is big into fitness and eating healthy, so this makes it easier as well. Being with someone who shares the same philosophies makes it 10x easier. He has done the macro counting before, and while he wasn't a fan of it, it's comforting to know that he knows what it's all about and doesn't give me too much crap.
The other little number that I am eager to get back into a solid routine with is my workouts. Being away from home and relying on a hotel gym for quality workouts is so hard! When I landed in DC, it was uncommonly warm for winter. With temperatures in the high 50s, I was able to go outside for a run. I squeezed in 20 minutes, and while that wasn't enough for me, it had to be since I was tight on time.
Monday I worked from 6:30 am straight until 8:30 pm, which meant that sleep was more important than working out. One of the things that I love about these trips is that it forces me to take a rest day from working out, and it is something that my body loves. I am so busy on the extra-long work days and always running around the hotel and convention center, that THAT is my workout.
On Tuesday I didn't have to work until 8 am, so I woke up at 5:25 for a hotel workout. Let's just say it was really crappy, and I will talk about that one tomorrow.
With work going back to normal now after several crazy months, I cannot wait to find the right balance of running and CrossFit. It might mean only 2 CrossFit classes a week, or it might mean 3. I am honestly just so happy to be home!
It is time to get less serious now with a photo dump.
Work party at the Smithsonian.
My favorite work friends. <3
Thursday morning. My new favorite tea. Fuzzy pencil and heat-sensitive pencils from the Smithsonian, and calculating macros for the chili.
Sugar cookie tea, Quest Bar and the Bachelor on Monday night. I <3 Farmer Chris.
Also, I went 2 days in DC without peanut butter, and I didn't even miss it OR crave it.
If you meal prep, what is a go-to meal for you?

On Saturday Feb. 9th, CBS will broadcast The GRAMMYs Will Go On: A Death In The Family, which tells the behind-the-scenes story of last year's GRAMMY Awards telecast. As someone who's had the pleasure of working on the show for more than a decade now, I know a very important part of that story came down on the big shoulders of GRAMMY telecast host LL Cool J. His charismatic and heartfelt presence as our first host in many years helped allow Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich and our whole GRAMMY team to turn the telecast on a dime to reflect the loss of Whitney Houston just 24 hours before.
Yesterday, as we were going over the script for this year's 55th GRAMMY Awards telecast -- another great musical gathering that will feature Justin Timberlake's return to music and a segment featuring Bruno Mars, Sting and Rihanna that you won't want to miss, to name just a few new GRAMMY Moments -- I briefly broke with my usual role as GRAMMY writer and asked our host a few questions about being a big part of the telecast for the second time. And no, don't call it a comeback.
So how does hosting this show feel different the second time around?
One thing that hasn't changed is that I am honored to do it. It's an honor for any musician to stand on the biggest music stage in the world -- the biggest platform for music in the entire world. And that's what the GRAMMYs is. And now to be a part of it in this show in this way is an amazing feeling. Look, some of the faces may change, and what I say may change, but that sentiment doesn't change for me.
You're clearly a pretty cool customer who showed a lot of grace under fire last year. Does having been through that experience calm any nerves for you might have this time?
No, because the GRAMMYs are a live show with all the possibilities and problems that go with that. So not to feel any anxiety associated with this event would mean that I'm taking it for granted and just automatically thinking that I've got it covered. And I don't think that's a healthy approach. I am confident that I can deliver, but I'm not going to say that I don't feel some nerves, because I do. This is an important job.
The two of us have been to a lot of music award shows over the year, but we've discussed how this show is different somehow. What do you think gives the GRAMMYs such a special atmosphere?
I think it's because you are surrounded by so many people who are hyper-creative. You're around some of the very best musicians in the world, and all the conversations, and the clothes and the combinations of styles create electricity in the air that's hard to define. You get that many charismatic people in one space and the mood is bound to be charged.
You have a new album, Authentic Hip-Hop, coming, a big hit TV show in "NCIS: Los Angeles," among so many other things you do, so you're already a busy man. I know why we need you, but why do you need the GRAMMYs in your life?
I need this because I love music, and the GRAMMYs allows me to be close to music and embrace the culture that is my first love -- and that's the world of music. It's comforting to be in my zone. I truly love music and for me, the GRAMMYs equal music. It's a mathematical equation that's proven.
Collaboration seems important to you in everything you do -- whether it's at the GRAMMYs, as an actor in film and TV, and clearly in your own music. What is the upside of collaboration?
It's very simple -- teamwork makes the dream work. That's really the answer. This world is moved by enthusiastic people. And when enthusiastic people work together in good faith and good spirits, they can do anything. They can pray together. They can build a skyscraper together. They can write a song together. It's all about collaboration. That's why I have My Connect Studio, which is a piece of technology that we put together with Sony that allows musicians all over the planet go online and collaborate in real-time. Collaboration and community are very important. We get that sense of community from music too -- it's not just the great song or the big show or the screaming fans, it's also about feeling a part of something bigger.
Do you like the fact that your musical community keeps becoming more eclectic? In just the past few weeks, you've worked with everyone from Brad Paisley to Tom Morello. Some people would say those are people from two different communities.
I just like working with great people, period. That's true whether it's Brad Paisley or Z-Trip or Tom Morello. I love the chance to collaborate with anyone great and who's committed to doing something great together.
Thanks LL for collaborating with us on the GRAMMYs again. You have brought so much to the party.
Thank you for letting me collaborate with you guys. Much love. And everybody watch!

COLUMBIA, S.C. -The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has awarded a $3.52 million grant to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) to support the implementation of cross-cutting approaches to promote health and prevent and control chronic diseases and risk factors that are linked to obesity.
The funding focuses on healthy eating and active living, diabetes, and heart disease prevention-- key components to reducing the rate of obesity in South Carolina.
"Obesity kills the most people in South Carolina, makes the most people sick, and if prevented would save the most money in healthcare costs," said DHEC Director Catherine Templeton. "We want to give the people of this state the tools to live their lives healthier, better, and longer."
"The programs supported by this funding will have a direct impact on the lives of South Carolinians across the state, leading to healthier choices and longer life expectancies. Educating individuals of all ages on the benefits of making healthy lifestyle decisions is essential to changing habits and decreasing the prevalence of chronic and preventable diseases, which if prevented would help reduce the rate of obesity in South Carolina. By focusing on evidence based programs, we are taking an active approach to curb the rate of obesity, creating a brighter future for generations to come."
Working to promote healthier choices and increase healthy food access, the funds supplement work currently underway through the state's first-ever Obesity Action Plan, SCaledown.org. Unveiled last week, SCaledown.org is a collaborative effort to reduce the rate of obesity statewide, focusing on 12 and 24 month action items in four major categories: Communities, Worksites, Healthcare, and Schools/Childcare.
The initiatives supported by the grant align with the action plan's over-arching goals to:

If there's one thing the DS is known for most, it would be it's almighty sales figures. There's many things that attributed towards that success, with the most prominent being the console's huge software library. On the other hand, one of the hurdles that has caused the Wii U to slip is undeniably the lack of software the console has really suffered from.
In a recent investor meeting, Nintendo bought forward a bizarre new idea, being to introduce Nintendo DS titles to the Wii U Virtual Console. How exactly this will work is a little bit mystery as of now, and we don't know exactly when this will happen. However, we do know that it was a fantastic idea on Nintendo's part.
Provided they release enough DS games on the service. And they price them accordingly. Nobody is going to want to pay $15-$20 for DS games.
They need to keep their promises in order first. Bring the N64, stop with the NES for now. Don't waste VC assets on games with very little following, unless it has a strong cult status. There has to be a solid reason for not releasing key games on the VC, only Nintendo knows. Keep your treasures close I suppose.
they should just release digital DS games on 3DS where they'll make money.... I know they think they can help sell Wii U's and that the 3DS does not need the help but the Wii U is a loss cause, they should concentrate in making money and 3DS is where the money is

"We're getting to a time where people are starting to accept that they have white privilege. That wasn't something people were speaking openly about five years ago," says Toronto-based TV host Tyrone "T-Rex" Edwards. "So now we have people say, 'I have white privilege. Man, I didn't even realize.'
"That's cool. But guess what?" he adds. "To some people, equality means, 'Wait a minute, what do I have to give up? I don't want to give up anything. What do I have to give up in order for you to feel equal?'"
Edwards attributes this reaction to fear of change and lack of understanding that what's actually being talked about is just levelling the playing field.
"It's important that people grow up understanding that equality doesn't mean that you're losing something in order for me to gain something."
"It's important that people grow up understanding that equality doesn't mean that you're losing something in order for me to gain something," he explains. "It means that we all gain more by seeing the benefits in unity [and] embracing differences instead of shying away from them."
Edwards, who also co-founded the 10-year-old Toronto-boosting company 1LoveTO, is a host on E! News and Much, where he handles high-profile interviews and also co-hosts events like the MuchMusic Video Awards.
A father himself, he's also involved in the national youth rally We Day. He was hosting the Toronto event when he spoke to HuffPost Canada backstage about issues impacting black Canadians.
"At the end of the day is racism alive and well? Yes, it's stronger than a lot of things. In some cases, it's stronger than love. It's stronger than self-love."
"But," he stresses, "it can't be forever."
Proud to be Canadian right now, not because I think I'm safe from what Trump's win has ignited in the world but because of our Prime Minister who said when I asked, "We will continue to work with and maintain a good relationship with the U.S., we will be fine and we will maintain our values." This only a few hours after the results were in. What I took from our brief convo is that maintaining our values means we will continue to fight for equality & respect excluding none. Our values are inclusive and begin and end with love always. WE have a lot of work to do because if anything Trump taking office proved was that there are still too many that think to empower themselves they must devalue others. Arm yourself with knowledge share it with love generously and often. Talk, ask questions, talk more because WE need to make this world great for all. #LeadWithLove #WeDayOttawa #RemembranceDay #OneLove 📷@vitoamati
Edwards, who spent a number of years in the U.S. playing high school and NCAA basketball as well as studying business and speech, is also supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Beginning as a protest against police violence, it has since evolved into the biggest civil rights movement since the 1960s. While originating in the U.S., the Black Lives Matter-Toronto branch has been in the news regularly over the past few years. Their demonstrations have ranged from camping out at police headquarters to protest the police killing of Andrew Loku and briefly stopping the Pride Parade to demand a ban on police floats to organizing a recent march at the U.S. consulate against Islamophobia and white supremacy.
"Black lives matter. Can't we say that? Because if you can't even say it, how can people feel it?"
Since its inception, the movement has faced a furious backlash, including the "All Lives Matter" effort to diminish their basic ask to not be disproportionately profiled, beaten and even killed by authorities.
"You say 'Black Lives Matter' and people are like, 'Oohhhhhhh, don't say that!' It's like damn, yo! Black lives matter. Can we say that? Because if we can't even say it, how can people feel it?
"We need to say it right now," Edwards argues. "It's a reminder for everyone…who may not see the examples of black lives mattering."
Edwards has been especially focused on helping black kids know that they matter through efforts like The Remix Project and his former Concrete Hoops program, a not-for-profit camp he helped run for 11 years to teach kids basketball – and life – skills.
His efforts supporting underprivileged youth, as well as providing a positive role model on television, earned Edwards the 2016 Mandela Legacy Hope, Success, and Empowerment Award, alongside Naomi Campbell and Reverend Al Sharpton.
"Concrete Hoops was an idea to create a basketball camp that we thought was cool," he says. "We could use basketball, something that we knew and loved and understood very well, as our vehicle, our platform."
So alongside dribbling, defence and shooting stations, they'd have a self-confidence station – "we called it swag, so we were speaking the language" — a conflict-resolution station and others that got the adrenaline-fuelled kids to really open up and "share things that they probably wouldn't share if it was a class or a workshop that they had to attend. So we had some really good times."
"It's about that open dialogue, that honest dialogue. It's about respect."
Edwards says that what needs to happen right now is for people on all sides to look past their preconceptions, to "see people for more than just their shell" and judge them as individuals not stereotypes.
"At the end of the day, there's room for improvement everywhere. There's room for improvement within our communities and there's room for improvement within our policing," he says.
"It's about that open dialogue, that honest dialogue. It's about respect."
