Hand Painting elegant Silk Scarves for the Style Conscious and Art Curious Individual.
Handmade in Britain
Georgia Elliott is a British painter & printmaker inspired by travel & vast landscapes. She specialises in hand painting contemporary scenes, usually entire landscapes across each silk scarf. Interested in capturing a sense of place, Georgia gets excited about building texture & layered colour into each design.
Each scarf is individually hand painted using natural inks.
Why Organic Silk?
We are often asked what the difference is between organic and 'normal' silk, well the answer is, no nasty chemicals.
In a similar process to farming, organic silk production means that no harsh chemicals, pesticides or insecticides have been used in the production of the silk fibres and in producing the finished fabric. Fantastic news for the environment, production workers & your skin.
Our silk is certified with GOTS quality (Global Organic Textiles Standard). We believe that supporting fair wages & treatment of workers is essential to growing a sustainable & honest future for the fashion industry. Click here if you would like to learn more about GOTS.
We are proud to be using UK suppliers for our Stationary - Packaging - Fair-trade Silk - Natural Inks
The Beginning
As an Illustration graduate from The University for the Creative Arts, Georgia was was always keen to experiment with new crafts and techniques. After her Nan taught her the traditional practice of silk painting, Georgia developed her own unique print method which allows the scarves to be washed.
" The first collection was Inspired after travelling around Iceland in a tiny Nissan Micra. My husband and I stopped at a different town each day, discovering new adventures and breathtaking sights. The sketchbooks began to fill & the collection had begun. "
The Name
The name Daubs & Dashes was borrowed from two painting terms. Together they summarise the process of our image making.
Daub: to smear a surface, usually with paint or plaster. Dash: to apply roughly, as by splashing.
Practical Luxury
It was important that our scarves were both elegant & functional for modern living.
- Small Limited Edition batches to preserve there quality
- Hand wash & iron. No dry cleaners necessary!
- Individually hand painted making each one completely unique
- Finished with hand rolled hems & our trademark stamp
- Made from the finest fair-trade, organic silk
- Handmade in England

This wonderful picture to celebrate the French national day. The picture was shot by Xavier Cotton, the Passion pour l'aviation's webmaster.
This wonderful picture to celebrate the French national day. The picture was shot by Xavier Cotton, the Passion pour l'aviation's webmaster.
July 6, 2011 – The legendary Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport could have been inserted into this list but it closed down on July 6th, 1998 i.e. exactly 13 years ago, and this top ten gathers airfields still in service only. Gibraltar airport could have been part of it as a route (yes, you've well read) crosses its runway.
It must be very difficult to set up such ranking. This is what AirfareWatchdog has tried to do. Among them, a striking view of Courchevel airport at an altitude of 2,008 m featuring a steep slope in the middle of its runway.
According to CNN, and the FBI, a man flew without being actually checked-in as he « slipped » onto the plane. The technique may have worked already since the stowaway got ten invalid boarding passes in his bag. Moreover, none of these passes mentioned his own identity!
No other fighter aircraft will be as omnipresent at the Paris Air Show as the Rafale as it has been shorlisted for India's MMRCA (Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft) tender along with the Eurofighter. The IAF (Indian Air Force) is to order 126 multirole fighter aircraft for a deal of up to $10 billion. The French Dassault Rafale is still in competition with the Swedish SAAB JAS 39 Gripen, and the American F/A-18E/F Super Hornet in Brazil.
The Rafale also remains with the Gripen, and the Eurofighter in the Swiss NAC competition in order to replace the Swiss Air Force F-5s. The French Air Force has already demonstrated through the Rafale its combat readiness in Afghanistan, and over Libya. Its brand new reconnaissance pod Reco NG is now flying, and it managed to strike moving targets with its laser-guided AASM – Air-to-Ground Modular Weapon – beyond all expectations.
Its new Thales RBE2-AA AESA radar is still being developed. It has already been tested, and should be fully operational next year.
ToT (Transfer of Technology) has been pledged for the Rafale if the Indian government were to make its procurement decision.

electronic Advice and Diagnosis Via the Internet following Computerised Evaluation
The Continence Research team have designed and built an online interective eHealth program for children with urinary incontinence who are on the waiting list for our continence service (which currently has a 24 month waiting time). The first program was built in 2011 and was designed to help families and their GP's manage the child's wetting problem while they were waiting to see the specialist. The program involved the families logging on, answering a series of questions and receiving treatment advice with support from their GP, until they visited the program again in a few weeks' time. The families were given access to the program link for 4-6 months.
We piloted our first version in January 2012 and we have just completed piloting our fifth version in 2016, recruiting a total of 165 families to date. After feedback from the families and the doctors involved, we continued to improve and refine the program. The most consistent issue we found was lack of adherence to the program advice, so for our final pilot we built in an "intelligent agent" called Dr Evie who talked the families through their treatment plan. Our provisional results so far indicate that the families who visited the program the most gained a better result and that approximately one third of the participants became dry by the end of their time on the program.
In the future, we hope to conduct a randomised controlled trial to test the effect of the program for children on the continence clinic waiting list. If it is found to be cost effective, we hope to make the program accessible to children with wetting issues.

Wow! It's been a really busy week. I've managed to get a regular weekly gig at a local restaurant and it's going really well. No one is as surprised about that as I am. I've battled my performance anxiety for so long, I wasn't sure I'd be able to actually go through with it. But, once I push past the initial fear and get going, I become completely immersed in the performance and my passion and love for magic so outweighs my fear that it is almost nonexistent. It's magic, really.
Anyway, here is a brand new Magic Time! In this episode, I let you guys behind the scenes to see what it's like to learn a new trick. It's not as easy as I thought…

With applications for nitrogen gas now proliferating in a number of industries such as food and beverages, chemicals and power generation, we offer a professional service for design and installation based on individual requirements and environments.
We install low maintenance, highly efficient systems with a range of capacities to match our customers' process challenges.
Typical applications include:
- Food Packaging Industry
The food industry uses nitrogen to eliminate residual oxygen in packaging, reducing the potential for bacterial growth and enhancing product quality and shelf life.
- Nitrogen 'Blanketing'
Where potentially dangerous chemicals are used in the manufacturing process, 'blanketing' with nitrogen can make an important contribution to personnel safety. This process promotes chemical integrity, controlling oxygen concentration and humidity and working to reduce the risk of contamination and changes to the chemical properties.
ACE systems generate nitrogen through compressed air at both low and high pressure.

Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey voted for Sen. Ted Cruz for President in Tuesday's Republican primary election.
"I voted for Ted Cruz," Toomey told a reporter who filmed the exchange as Toomey headed to his car.
The Pennsylvania legislator described Cruz as a "solid conservative" to the Morning Call. Toomey referenced serving with Cruz in the U.S. Senate, saying that he believed the Texas senator has a "real, viable shot of beating Hillary Clinton."
While Toomey voted for Cruz on Tuesday, he had not made a formal public endorsement.
Toomey previously supported Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Rubio dropped out of the race in mid-March after a crushing defeat to GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. With over 45 percent of the vote to Rubio's 27, Trump took home all 99 of the Sunshine State's delegates.
Radio host Chris Stigall asked Cruz on the Tuesday edition of his program, "Do you think Pat Toomey's seat is in jeopardy if Donald Trump is the nominee?"
Cruz responded, "If Donald is the nominee every blue state and purple state Republican running is in grave jeopardy and there is nothing that can be done about it."
"If I am the nominee, Pat Toomey gets re-elected. If Donald Trump is the nominee, the Senate is gone and there's nothing you can do about it."
Toomey faces a tough re-election bid. Four Democrats are gunning for his job, according to ABC 27 News: retired admiral and former congressman Joe Sestak, former gubernatorial Chief of Staff Katie McGinty, Braddock mayor John Fetterman and Joe Vodvarka.
Trump had double digit polling leads in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. The statewide winner will take home 17 delegates and another 54 will be elected directly by the voters at the congressional district level. The 54 directly elected Pennsylvania delegates are unbound to any candidate on a first round vote for the Republican presidential nomination at the Republican National convention.

I indeed like this phrase. Words, agreements, meetings may fly away suddenly in business life unless you get an agreement on the paper or on the e-mail, etc…
I think if someone makes a deal with you on the phone or face to face, one of you should send a e-mail to redact the deal for the future. This e-mail had better includes these explanations;
As you know, we made a deal with you face to face / on the phone. I just wanted to send this deal's details as e-mail. If you don't accept the details below, please let me know.
[Put the whole details of your deal]
Check again then don't hesitate to send it!
It's going to make you feel cool. Because in the future, this person can easily say "Hey, our deal is not like that, I didn't make a deal with this conditions."When you face this type of problem, be cool since you already proved your deal's details by sending a mail. Furthermore, you needn't to wait for an answer because not answering the e-mail generally means I agree with you. Afterwards, if he says you,"Hey, sorry. I didn't see your e-mail", probably the best answer will be "Why don't you check your e-mails regularly. As I told you, I sent you the details."
This is really essential unwritten rule of business life. No matter what happens, try to have or send e-mail included all of your deal's details in order to feel free for the future. Bye the way, although this rule demonstrates you more professional, sometimes some problems may be solved fastly within "mutual understanding."
Enough again,
Let me know your opinions,
Bonus: If you know Turkish, don't forget to follow my Turkish blog, Medium is the new platform for me in English.

Almost all organisations emit carbon dioxide as the result of using a source of energy derived from the burning of fossil fuels — to travel, operate equipment or heat and light premises. There has been international debate, however, on whether carbon dioxide emissions really are resulting in major changes to global weather, including unusual storms and fluctuating temperature patterns.
The UK Government has taken a firm stance, however, and stated its commitment to addressing the problem of carbon dioxide emissions and tackling the consequences of climate change.
In November 2007, the Climate Change Bill was introduced in the UK Parliament and is programmed to come into force later in 2008.
When enacted, the Bill will introduce a target for the UK to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by at least 60 per cent by the year 2050.
An independent Committee on climate change will be established to advise the UK Government and report to Parliament on progress in achieving the target, taking account of a range of influencing factors.
The Bill provides for the UK Government to carry out regular risk assessments of the impact of climate change and to operate a programme for dealing with the risks identified. It also contains powers for the UK Government to require public bodies and statutory undertakers — such as electricity companies — to draw up plans to deal with the impact of climate change.
It would appear highly likely therefore that public bodies and large organisations will be playing a significant part in leading the community, including business organisations everywhere, to become engaged in responding effectively to the problems caused by carbon dioxide emissions and their consequent impact on the environment.
Whether or not anyone agrees with the view that carbon dioxide is contributing to climate change or harming the environment, most people would probably agree that it can only be of benefit to businesses to manage energy production and consumption more efficiently.
How Can Businesses Respond to the Call to Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions?
There are many ways in which organisations can contribute to a programme of energy management and efficiency and carbon dioxide reduction. The more obvious ways include an audit of an organisation's premises and assets to check for improvements — sometimes at low cost or with identifiable savings – that can reduce energy consumption and make better use of energy consumed. These include improved insulation, an upgrade of vehicles or equipment, encouraging alternative means of travel, avoiding unnecessary journeys and new ways of working, such as allowing more staff to work from home.
What is Carbon Offsetting?
Methods have been established to calculate the amount of 'greenhouse gas' produced by an organisation's carbon emissions each year. The result is commonly referred to as an organisation's 'carbon footprint'.
In addition to managing energy consumption more efficiently, organisations can take part in schemes that have been created to enable businesses and individuals to reduce the impact of their carbon footprints by contributing a financial sum to recognised international projects to 'offset' the amount of carbon produced.
The schemes include projects aimed at absorbing carbon dioxide or creating energy from renewable sources involving forestry and the planting of new trees; the use of waste carbon dioxide to produce new products; and creating energy through renewable methods that do not include the burning of fossils, such as wind or solar panels.
Carbon Dioxide Emissions and the Process of Going Carbon Neutral
Andrew Herbert, Chairman of Touchstone Renard — a UK Industry Leader and Acknowledged Expert in Environmental and Energy Management — Evaluates the Impact of Carbon Emissions and the Process of Going Carbon Neutral.
As the past Managing Director of the London based group, Radio Taxis, Andrew Herbert led the organisation to become the first taxi business in the UK to go carbon neutral.
Radio Taxis' high level of environmental awareness and responsibility inspired and won the admiration of London and the world, resulting in prestigious awards, new opportunities and substantially increased annual revenues.
In 2006, in his role as past Managing Director of Radio Taxis, Andrew Herbert, chairman of Touchstone Renard, successfully managed a ground-breaking project for the organisation, aimed at introducing energy efficiencies, offsetting carbon emissions and becoming carbon neutral.
Operating from several offices around the UK capital, with over 3000 drivers and heavy reliance on the use of vehicles to provide their service, Radio Taxis appreciated the extent to which their carbon emissions were impacting on the environment and sought to address the situation.
Under Andrew Herbert's leadership, Radio Taxis introduced an energy efficiency programme to reduce fuel consumption and famously embarked on a scheme to offset their carbon emissions. They achieved the latter by investing in five international projects, including forestry and the generation of renewable energy by the use of solar panels.
The effect was much celebrated, catching the imagination of people in London and worldwide. Radio Taxis moved rapidly ahead of their London competitors, inspiring continuing confidence and loyalty amongst their existing customers and winning exciting new business opportunities elsewhere. The cost of offsetting was considerably outweighed by increased annual revenues.
Radio Taxis have stated that, in the long term, they would like to use alternative fuels to reduce the impact of their business operations on the environment even further.

It would be preferable in electronic form - for example, the files output by a digital camera and the words in MS word or similar format.
This allows the content text to be copied rather than recreated which saves time.
Will my website design be "Search Engine" friendly?
All our websites are created with search engines in mind and the website design is compliant with the current search engine guidelines.
Are there any hidden costs associated with your web design services?
No. We discuss with you your website requirements and then price accordingly and once you have placed an order for your website design with us,
that price is strictly adhered to unless you wish to change the specification before /during or after the design process and / or add other
components not requested in the initial quotation.
Do I need a database on my website?
This depends upon the amount of information you wish to be displayed on your website. If you have quite a few products/services, then yes it would be advantageous although not necessary. This would be initially discussed in detail with you and if a database is advised we would explain in detail exactly how this works and what is involved. If this route was taken then the costs would increase for development initially, but as more products etc were required to added then the background work is already in place.
How do I update my website?
There are many different methods which can be used to update websites.
The method you choose and the functionality we build into your website design is solely up to yourself although of course we will be glad to advise you which method will suit your needs.
If you have a small website consisting of just a few pages and will only wish to make changes very infrequently, then usually it is more cost effective simply to ask us to carry out these changes for you. We can recommend software that allows the content to be updated by you, as long as you are comfortable editing. This would need to be established at the start of the design process.
Another method would be to use a database and have all the content held there. An admin section would be created and the content etc would be managed that way.
Do you use Flash animation?
Yes, we do use flash as and when required.
It is important to note that there are times when flash animations can be an asset but it would be unwise
to use "flash" to create an entire website or even entire pages of your website as search engines are not able
to read the content of flash and therefore any words used in animations will not be indexed
by the search engines.
Generally it is best to use flash for smaller banners, advertisements or demonstrations and incorporate the flash animation into a web page which also includes some written text in html. This way the search engines will be able to index your information.
Can I get e-mail with my website?
Yes. You can have as many email addresses as you wish, we will set-up several email addresses e.g. firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com and forward them to any address you require. This would be done where the website is hosted and you can have up to 20 email addresses.
Can I see how many visitors I've had to my website?
Yes we provide online secure website statistics software which records where you visitors are coming from and which pages they looked at, which search engines are being used, which phrases are being typed into which search engines and many more interesting web tracking facts which you should find useful for future marketing campaigns.
Can I have an e-commerce system?
Yes you can. We have Secure Servers (SSL) which use the latest encryption methods to ensure that your customers can buy from you website knowing that the information they enter is secure and safe. If you wish your customers' payments to be "cleared on line" we can interface to organisations like WorldPay and PayPal.
How much will a website cost?
The cost of a web site varies depending on the sites complexity and therefore are priced on an individual basis. As with most things, the more work put into a project, the more it costs. With this, you get free hosting for a period and free domain registration, for 1 year if a .com or 2 years for a .co.uk registration. Also included is the SEO and all emails set up required for the site. We don't ask for all the payment up front, but request an initial deposit. With payments at agreed milestones throughout the process on larger projects. On smaller brochure websites, payment is normally an initial deposit with the final payment on completion. If you give us a call we will be pleased to discuss your requirements and give you a fixed quotation.
How many pages can I have on my site?
As many as you like. From a search engines point of view - The more the better!
I already have a website and I need it updating, can you help me?
Yes, we would be happy to look at your existing website and give you a quote for updating it.
Do you redesign existing websites?
Yes we do. We can redesign, retaining your company corporate style or we can redesign to give you a complete new image. Is your website up to date - let us provide you a Free of Charge Website Evaluation - we can redesign your website to take advantage of the latest web technologies.

The Turf Club: Bar & Grill – Another Hidden Gem
We've all heard of the insanely popular Disney restaurants located in the theme parks and even a few in the resorts. Chef Mickey's has become a staple for Guests to take their children to. The Crystal Palace and Cinderella's Royal Table at the Magic Kingdom are family traditions to dine at. And 'Ohana is one restaurant which almost everyone who has dined at raves about. But what about the more hidden restaurants? The ones which can generally be pretty easy to find a reservation for, but end up giving fantastic service and even better food? For example, have you ever dined at The Wave located on the lobby level of Disney's Contemporary Resort? One of my favorite restaurants at Walt Disney World. If you want a signature dining experience, consider Artist Point. Located at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, this restaurant has been well hidden from Guests for 20 years. However, most of their diners are repeat Guests. So much so, both the Cast Members and diners know each other by name. But we're not here to talk about these other restaurants. We're here to discuss a restaurant I've heard rave reviews about for months and finally had the chance to dine at: The Turf Club Bar and Grill. Read the rest of this entry
Photo Report: Toy Story Mania's Third Track
A couple months ago, Disney's Hollywood Studios debuted its third track for Toy Story Midway Mania! Located right next door inside the usually empty Sound Stage 1, which was used to years ago for the Frozen Summer Fun ice rink and activities, the third track has increased the rides capacity by 50%. The wait times have largely dipped in numbers and FastPasses are now much easier to reserve right before you visit! I finally had the chance to see the second loading station and take some photos. The details are fabulous and honestly, knock the original station out of the park. As for the ride itself, it is exactly the same and surprising Disney was able to fit all of this inside the single building. Check out the photos below. Read the rest of this entry
REVIEW: Winter Summerland is Perfect for Beginners
Did you know you could play miniature golf on Walt Disney World property? In fact, they have two completely different courses: Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland. Located right next to Blizzard Beach water park is Disney's Winter Summerland. And it's themed to, you guessed it, Santa's Village in winter and summer! I've wanted to play this course for many years and finally had the chance to. If you've never played mini golf on Disney property, it's a great way to take a break from the crowds! One round of golf costs $14 for adults and $12 for children (3-9 years). Read the rest of this entry
Halloween Horror Nights 26 – Everything You Need to Know
Here we are everyone! One month away from the opening of what looks like an incredible year for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando. It's been a long summer of waiting to hear all of the announcements and we have not been disappointed. Six IP houses and three originals, an up-charge house bringing us to an even ten. Plus, we're getting five scare zones and two shows again. Chance returns this year as our host and is getting her own house and scare zone. With the official HHN Twitter announcing they had decided to do all of the most requested houses this year, it certainly sounds like it is going to be another season for the books! I think the fans will be in love with everything they have to offer for this season. Here is everything you need to know! Read the rest of this entry
Surprise Announcement – Virtual Reality Experience Brings HHN 26 to 10 Houses
Just two days ago, Universal Orlando announced their three original houses and five scare zones, leaving us to believe there was just one house left to be announced. Well, it turns out that wasn't the case. Today, Universal Orlando announced a brand new virtual reality up-charge experience coming to HHN 26! Check out the announcement below!
HHN 26 – All but One House Announced!
Yesterday, Universal decided to release details of all three of their original houses PLUS all five scare zones! It was quite an exciting time. This tallies us to 8 out of 9 houses, 5 scare zones, and 2 shows! The event is packed yet again for another year of crazy fun, only this time, Chance is in charge. And thanks to a tweet from the official HHN twitter account (Hollywood), we now know they decided to do all of the properties fans request most often. Since Hollywood and Orlando are duplicating many houses, this comes as no surprise. Check out the newly released details below! Read the rest of this entry
Suicide Squad: Screw the Critics
Yea, I know the title is ironic because I'm writing my own review and thus becoming a critic myself, but read it anyway. Also, this review will be as spoiler free as possible since the trailers left quite a bit of the plot out of them, so no worries. This is definitely of one my longer reviews, so if it's too much for you to read, there is a TL:DR recap at the end.
So let's get started. If you don't know much about Suicide Squad, one of the easiest comparisons and ways to explain it is it is basically DC's version of Guardians of the Galaxy. Bare bones, it's a handful of bad guys brought together to team up to do some good. And yet, it's so much more. Directed by David Ayer, Suicide Squad is DC's third installment into their cinematic universe. In the film, Amanda Waller, played by the lovely Viola Davis, has assembled a team of the worst of the worst; "bad guys" with unique Read the rest of this entry

1.1 Overview
u-blox 5 ICs set a new standard for GPS and GALILEO receivers. Powered by the high performance 50-channel
u-blox 5 positioning engine, these ICs provide excellent performance and flexibility at an economical price. A
32-channel acquisition engine with over 1 million effective correlators is capable of massive parallel searches.
This enables a Time To First Fix (TTFF) of less than 1 second, while long correlation/dwell times make possible the
best-in-class acquisition and tracking sensitivity. An available functionality is KickStart, a new feature enabling
accelerated acquisition of weak signals. Once acquired, satellites are passed on to a power-optimized dedicated
tracking engine. This arrangement allows the GPS and GALILEO engine to simultaneously track up to 16
satellites while searching for new ones. u-blox 5's advanced jamming suppression mechanism and innovative RF
architecture provide a high level of immunity to jamming, ensuring maximum GPS and GALILEO performance.
u-blox 5 positioning technology has been specifically designed for applications with tight cost, size and power
constraints. Its highly integrated architecture brings the complete positioning process, from antenna input to
position data output, into a compact self-contained solution requiring few external components. The BOM
consists of a minimal number of components that are all low cost and passive. An integrated LDO and LNA is
included, there is no need for an external Flash EPROM. Crystals as well as TCXOs are supported. u-blox 5 ICs are
designed to allow 2-layer PCB integration, and their small footprint enables cost-effective use of board area.
Innovative power hardware and software features ensure very low power consumption. The fully integrated
Power Management Unit (PMU) allows for a single supply voltage source. All required core and I/O voltages are
generated internally by means of LDOs (Low-Drop-Out Regulators).
u-blox 5 ICs are available in two different packages: A single-chip version (2 dies in 1 parcel) has the RF and
baseband ICs integrated into a single 56-pin MLF package measuring 8x8 mm. Alternatively, a dual-chip version
is available with the RF-IC in a 4x4 mm 24-pin MLF package and the baseband-IC in a 9x9 mm 100-pin CVBGA.
With the dual-chip solution the External Memory Interface (EMI) can be used to connect an optional external
Flash EPROM.
All u-blox 5 ICs are RoHS compliant (lead-free) and green (no halogens).
u-blox 5 ICs are not designed for life saving or supporting devices or for aviation and should not be used in
products that could in any way negatively impact the security or health of the user or third parties or that could
cause damage to goods.
1.2 Highlights and Features
• 50-channel u-blox 5 engine with over 1 million effective correlators
• <1 second Time To First Fix for Hot and Aided Starts
• SuperSense® Indoor GPS providing best-in-class acquisition and tracking sensitivity
• Accelerated startup at weak signals with KickStart feature

As a media producer, the properties that I create are protected by U.S. copyright law. Copyright and patent laws were enacted by our founding fathers to encourage the creation of new ideas. It works! There are many reasons that America is the most prosperous nation in history. One of the primary reasons is the fact that creators of new ideas are protected and allowed to prosper from those new ideas. What gets rewarded gets done.
Under these laws, every image and sound that I capture or record become my property (or the property of whoever I am under contract). This is true for any professional photographer, video/cinematographer, or recordist. I own and reserve all rights to the property I create and capture. As my customer, I give you certain and specific rights to my property based on money that you pay me. Just because I send you a file, that does not mean that you have the right to edit, copy, or print it. You may only legally do what I give you specific written permission to do. It is highly unusual for me to give an individual permission to edit, copy, or print my work. This is for two reasons. First, this is one way that I make my living. It is common among aspiring photographers to give their customers a "disk" for them to make their own prints. This is not a sustainable business model. The second reason, and this is just as important to me as the first reason, is that I am an artist. The final step in my art is the edited print. I take great care in ensuring each print is the highest quality and presentation, and deserves to have my name on it.

HILLSBORO — Brad Keller pitched a three-hitter and Wilmington defeated Hillsboro 4-1 Monday in a South Central Ohio League baseball game at Dick Schafer Park.
Keller (2-1 on the year) walked one and hit a couple of batters. He struck out eight, including the final batter of the game.
"He pitched a marvelous game," WHS coach Rick Kneisel said of Keller, whose other win this season came in a relief effort against Hillsboro. "He had not had a real start. It was some gutsy pitching."
As the game went to the bottom of the seventh, Keller was on a short leash, Kneisel said.
"We had Stephen (Krause) warmed up and ready to be brought in," the WHS coach said. "If anybody would have got on, that would have been it (for Keller)."
Instead, Keller put the Indians out in order to push the Hurricane record to 8-6 overall and 7-1 in the SCOL.
Andrew Davis and Keller had two hits each. Davis scored three times while Keller doubled and drove in a run.
Brady McCune and Chad Davis also had RBIs for WHS. Krause had a hit and drove in a run. Chris Wolary tripled for the Hurricane.

Check our facebook page for the variety of ways you can celebrate National Bike Month in Euclid. Perhaps you have an idea we can help you promote. Look for more detail in the April and May Observers.
March Bicyclist of the month Eric Wernet, Euclid resident.
Where do you enjoy riding?
I enjoy riding the streets of Cleveland and the Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Seeing the city from a bike gives me a better appreciation for the architecture and the intricacies of the city.
Do you ride year round? How do you dress for the cold?
I do ride year round but certainly not as much in the winter. I prepare for the cold with a lot of layers. The most important of which is the windblocking materials! A good pair of mittens are an absolute necessity!!
You ride your bike to work. Describe the experience.
I do ride my bike to work. It is a 6 mile commute and on the way into work is uphill, 100% of the time. I enjoy it, it raises my heartrate and allows me to see what is around me in much slower detail. My only real issues are on warmer days, getting ready to tackle the day after the sweaty ride in. I am a school teacher and access to a shower would be a nice plus that I don't have.
If you could change or improve one thing about the experience, what would it be?
I feel like riding the streets is a good experience for me but I know it makes a lot of people hesitant and uncomfortable. Having more dedicated bike lanes and more off street or bike only spaces would open up riding to a wider public.
Why do you ride?
I ride because the feeling of getting yourself from point A to Point B on my own power is exhilarating. Taking the time to ride and observe the world around me is the goal. I truly love to be out on my bike when I have the chance to do it.

Since the launch of Equities First Holdings in 2002, the firm has transacted over 100 business deals for clients around the world, ranging from highly qualified persons to global enterprises. In 2012, the company reported a growth of 30 percent and an increased growth of 45 percent in 2013. In 2013, Equities accelerated its growth through the partnership with Meridian Equity Partners, an international investment firm operating from its headquarters in London. As a result of the transaction, Equities labor force rose by 50 percent. Al Christy, the chief executive officer of Equities, stated that Equities growth is continuous due to the provision of the highly beneficial stock-based loans. He revealed that a majority of the business clients included investors, executives, enterprises and high net worth individuals who needed the cash for capital.
Equities First Holdings offers customers with stock-based loans that have a fixed interest rate of three to four percent and fixed loan to value ratio of fifty to seventy-five percent. The stock-based loans have a non-recourse nature, meaning a borrower can use the amount for any venture of choice. A client is allowed to use stock in another company as collateral to acquire a loan. Once the loan's payment is complete, the stock is not dumped into the open market, but it is reassigned back to the borrower. In the case of fluctuation of markets during the transaction process, a client has the full right to walk away from the business deal, free of any future responsibilities arising from the dealings.
Al Christy stated the Equities ensures that it maintains a transparent and integral loan process by recruiting highly qualified legal practitioners to oversee the process. He revealed that Equities aim is to provide clients with maximum benefits of the stock-based loans so as to ensure their personal and professional goals become a reality.

With Fall being just around the corner it's about time to say our goodbyes to the season.
Labor Day weekend was thoroughly enjoyed. My dear cousin planned a big get-together for my mom's side of the family. There was a big crowd and tons of good food, lots of laughter and great catching-up time. It was wonderful getting to see everyone after such a long time and a big heart-felt thanks to her for planning and hosting at her lovely house, the rain didn't put a damper on anything, in my opinion.
Next up was a canning party at my lil' sis' house. What an adventure that was! Our first try at canning meat and also 4 lbs. of beans. I'm sure glad we had my bro-in-law there to keep an eye on the 3 and 4 year olds while we were busy in the kitchen. Although the canned meat didn't work out as well as we expected we still had a good turn out and best of all, it seemed like less work and lots of fun when you're canning with someone you love and enjoy being around!
I am a bit sad, Saturday and last evening my hubby and I did our garden and yard clean-up. Everything in the gardens was pulled or chopped and burned. It was getting more than just ragged looking and most everything was finished producing and since we decided to not do a Fall garden it was time for it to go. I ended up with at least three gallons of mixed hot and sweet peppers so I guess I'll be doing pepper relish either today or tomorrow.
I noticed the past two evenings while we were out burning brush, the moon has just been extremely gorgeous. I just read this morning that it's called the "Harvest Moon", time for harvesting of the crops before the change of seasons. I'm very thankful for our harvest and looking forward to the Fall season, my most favorite time of the year! ;)
Have a great week y'all!

Halfbridled to enter Beaumont
LEXINGTON, Ky. - It appears the scare involving Halfbridled last week was only that - a scare.
Trainer Richard Mandella said Monday that Halfbridled has fully recovered from the cramping incident that precluded her from running in the Ashland Stakes last weekend at Keeneland and that he intends to run her Thursday in the $250,000 Stonerside Beaumont Stakes. The Beaumont will serve as Halfbridled's final prep for the April 30 Kentucky Oaks.
"She's back to her old self," Mandella said Monday. "I actually breezed her three-eighths this morning, but it was still dark and the clockers didn't catch her. I know she went slow and easy. It was just something to hold her over, something to keep her head in the game. She came out of it fine. We're ready."
The Beaumont is a Grade 2 race at the Beard Course distance of seven furlongs and 184 feet. Although the one-turn distance may not be ideal in terms of preparing for the 1 1/8-mile Oaks, Mandella is simply thankful that the filly made such a quick recovery and will be able to squeeze in a final prep. Halfbridled, bred and owned by Wertheimer Farm, has raced just once since completing an undefeated season last October in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, having finished second to Silent Sighs in the March 13 Santa Anita Oaks.
Halfbridled was scratched Friday, the day before the Ashland, after she "tied up," or suffered cramps, when cooling out following a routine gallop. Mandella said Halfbridled has something of a history of tying up, although he said that before the Friday incident she had not had any such setbacks in several months.
Entries for the Beaumont were to be drawn Tuesday. Before Mandella revealed that Halfbridled would run, the field was expected to be a large one. These were the 3-year-old fillies likely to run: Forestier, Movant, Saltwater Runner, She's a Rebel Too, Sweet Vision, Tingwithasting, Victory U. S. A., Whirlwind Charlott, and Wildwood Flower.
In the absence of Halfbridled, Madcap Escapade was sent away as the odds-on favorite among the four remaining fillies in the Ashland. Madcap Escapade held on to win by a half-length over Ashado.
Perfect Soul, Honor in War head toward rematch
The last time a major grass race for older horses was run at Keeneland, Perfect Soul and Honor in War finished one-two in the Grade 1 Shadwell Mile.
That was in early October. A little more than six months later, with each of them having had just one more race apiece, the 5-year-old horses are expected to renew their rivalry Friday in the Grade 2, $200,000 Maker's Mark Mile.
Perfect Soul, trained by Roger Attfield, will be making his first start since finishing ninth in the Breeders' Cup Mile some three weeks after his Shadwell win. Honor in War, forced to skip the BC Mile because of a minor ankle injury, will be making his second start since the Shadwell, having finished third in a recent allowance race at Gulfstream.
Palaestra latest winner out of Flying Heat
The maiden victory by Palaestra on Saturday at Keeneland marked yet another success for the filly's dam, Flying Heat. Palaestra, a 3-year-old by Atticus, is the eighth foal out of Flying Heat, a Private Account mare who already has produced stakes horses Pompeii, Ground Storm, Omi, and Flying Lauren.
"She's been one terrific mare, hasn't she?" said John Kimmel, who trains Palaestra for owner Robert Clay of Three Chimneys Farm.
Palaestra, making her second career start after finishing fifth in a turf route at Gulfstream in February, stalked the pace before drawing clear to win by four lengths under Frank Lovato Jr.
Nice weather boosts weekend handle
Business was thriving here Saturday when Keeneland recorded its 10th-highest all-sources handle in history, with more than $11.7 million. That number easily surpassed the $9.4 million bet on the corresponding day last year. Ideal weather surely was a factor in the increase, just as Keeneland officials attributed nasty weather to a downturn in business here on Friday, opening day.
On the racetrack, John Velazquez, who recently departed Gulfstream Park as the leading rider, grabbed the early lead in the Keeneland riding chase. Velazquez rode five winners on the opening three-day weekend, one more than Pat Day and Shane Sellers and two more than Robby Albarado.
Wednesday's Blue Grass draw open to public
Keeneland figures to draw an earlier crowd than usual Wednesday. That's because, for the first time ever, the track is opening its post-position draw for the Blue Grass Stakes to the public. The draw will be held at 11:30 a.m. Eastern in the paddock. Many fans can be expected to stick around for the nine-race card that starts at 1:15.
The Blue Grass is the only Saturday race to be drawn Wednesday. The rest of the card will be drawn Thursday, as usual.
Congaree vs. Wando in Commonwealth BC
The Commonwealth Breeders' Cup figures to have one of the most attractive matchups in its 18-year history Saturday when Congaree, a winner of $3.25 million, meets Wando, the Canadian Triple Crown champion who has earned nearly $2.4 million.
Congaree was scheduled to ship to Churchill Downs from California this week. Wando has been at Keeneland for the past two weeks or so with trainer Michael Keogh.
The Grade 2, $250,000 Commonwealth BC is run at seven furlongs.
* The Rev. John Dalton, who was widely known among fellow racing fans at Gulfstream, Churchill, and Keeneland, died last week in Louisville at 72.

Lollipops analysis
The Lollipops Analysis
Words: 2O74
March 2O11
Lollipops is a French brand of fancy fashion accessories created in 1994 by two young dynamic executives: Yann Ducarouge and Marjorie Mathieu. He's the commercial and she's the designer. InFrance, the market of fancy fashion accessories is a real niche and Lollipops has a monopolistic position. Nowadays, Lollipops products are sold in 1OO shops under "Lollipops", 12OO multi brand shops worldwide and online. To explain this phenomenon, I will cover the strategic positioning and the environment of Lollipops during this essay.
Thestrategic positioning
The strategic positioning is about the choice of elements giving to offers a credible, different and attractive position on the market and inside the customers' mind. So, it has to consider the beliefs and needs of consumers, potential advantages of the product and the product positioning of competitors. The strategic positioning takes shape through the mix marketing: price,product, place and promotion. A good positioning must to be simple, desirable, original and credible. "Consumers, saturated with products and advertising, perceive and remember only simple positioning, articulated around a small number of distinctive features" (Lindon, 1994).
In a first time, Lollipops conceived fancy leather goods only, matching bags and wallets. With its success, foundersdecided to extend their products to fancy fashion accessories: shoes, jewellery, umbrella, bell, hat... In the niche of fancy fashion accessories, Lollipops is known to be the first and the only brand until now to sell products for which the core business is the accessory. Moreover, the brand is more and more known for the very good quality and the originality of its products. The brand managed tohave a real identity by adopting a strategy of differentiation.
Indeed, the Lollipops concept is a real innovation. The brand combines luxury and street codes. According to the founders, Lollipops is a generalist brand aimed at a large active urban feminine custom: 25-4O years-old. The essential point was to create a brand of accessories for which models would be accessible and renew all thetime (5OO new models per collection, two collections per year and updating every two weeks) in order to match with the consumption society in which we live. Marjorie Mathieu, the designer, compares a Lollipops product to a "beautiful handkerchief: we use it and we throw it out when we grow tired". However, Lollipops offer middle-upmarket products, inspired by rare finds found around the world. Too,products wear the label "made in France" and are designed as luxury products: the company makes a point producing products with high quality finishes. And, in the manner of luxury brands, it capitalizes on an "image" communication. In addition, we perceive the positioning of Lollipops through its physical shops. First, it's important to know that founders wanted to have atypical shops, lookinglike family shop. So, their stores are in town-centre in order to each is worked according to its architectural features. Inside, we can find lacquered wooden house furnishing of the style Louis XVI (dressing table, armchair...), wallpaper designer, floral carpet, mirrors, frieze and panelling, chandeliers from Murano... In short, a doll house spirit in an old-rose romantic-baroque atmosphere.This positioning was chosen by founders in order to convey some values dear to their eyes. The brand gets involved for a new feminism through a playful and shifted stance in favour of a free and uninhibited femininity and an activist and unusual speech of products to messages. Briefly, the Lollipops universe it's a strong personality, a sense of self-deprecating and detail which shifts the point of...

Google in Deal With VSP Global to Offer Google Glass
Wearable Product Should Be Available to Consumers by Late 2014
SAN FRANCISCO— Google Inc. wants to bring Google Glass to the masses.
On Tuesday, the search giant announced a deal with vision-care company VSP Global to offer prescription lenses and subsidized frames for Google Glass, its wearable computer hooked onto eyeglass frames.
The deal offers Google an opportunity to reach a broader market for the device: VSP Global has a network of 30,000 eye doctors in the U.S. who can help with distribution. And 60 million people are enrolled in VSP's workplace and individual vision plans.
The Wall Street Journal reported in November that the two companies were discussing a potential transaction.
Introducing WSJD, the Journal's new home for tech news, analysis and product reviews.
Google on Tuesday also released four new frames to appeal to a wider range of potential customers. The small, hands-free computer, with the screen above the right eye, can be used to snap photos, shoot videos and get notified about text messages, among other things.
Currently, Glass is available only to early testers, numbering in the tens of thousands. The company plans to launch the device for all consumers later this year.
Offering prescription lenses for Google Glass means the device has a much larger potential market: the more than 110 million Americans who wear prescription glasses.
One obstacle that remains will be convincing consumers the glasses aren't just a niche product for nerds.
It has also joined with VSP to train eye-care professionals on how to fit the device for customers.

DANA POINT, Calif. --Medical Marijuana dispensaries in Dana Point have to give their records, including clients' names, to city investigators.An Orange County judge made the ruling this week saying one of the dispensaries has given some documents, but all need to comply.
The judge also signed a protective order to protect the confidentiality of medical marijuana patients.
Medical Marijuana is not banned in Dana Point, but the city is trying to make sure existing dispensaries are complying with state laws
