One of the many things that must be considered when establishing any type of infrastructure, be it a residential building or a commercial work space or shop, is the installation of proper industrial lighting fixtures. This is because having good industrial light fixtures can help greatly in making sure that the area is safe and comfortable to work or live in.
Today, there are many light fixtures sold in the market. These light fixtures differ in sizes and uses. There are those with industrial style lighting themes as well as those that have vintage industrial lighting themes which are popular in restaurants, homes and many more places.
Before choosing what type of theme you want to get for your light fixture, it is quite important to identify first what purpose you want the light fixture to serve. It is also greatly helpful when choosing what type of light fixture you want to have. There are those that are hanging ceiling types, lamp types, wall types, as well as those that serve special purposes such as being use to accent a certain landscape, and many more.
There are many products to choose from. One of these products is the Design House 519884 Kimball 1-Light Textured Coffee Bronze Indoor Ceiling Mount.
Features of the Product
The Design House 519884 Kimball 1-Light Textured Coffee Bronze Indoor Ceiling Mount is one of the industrial ceiling lights that are steadily growing in popularity today. The fixture has an 11 x 11 7.9 inches dimension and weighs around 1.1 lbs. or about 0.49 kilograms.
The steel finish has a coffee bronze color and is infused into a modern design. The entire fixture is mounted directly to the ceiling when installed making it ideal for those who do not really like hanging light fixtures. Due to its direct mount feature, it is ideal for spaces that do not have high ceilings such as bedrooms, hallways, foyers, bathrooms, cupboards, or even for outside spaces like porches and patios as long as extra protection is provided such as metal cage for the bulb. It can also be used for work spaces especially those that need minimal disruptions or must have enough vertical space which is not possible for hanging light fixtures.
The Design House 519884 Kimball 1-Light Textured Coffee Bronze Indoor Ceiling Mount sports a single bulb socket that can support a 60 watt A19 incandescent bulb. It is also ETL as well as Celt Listed which proves its applicability for indoor use. This also proves that the light is safe for installation and public use.
Pros and Cons
The Design House 519884 Kimball 1-Light Textured Coffee Bronze Indoor Ceiling Mount is packed with a 10 year warranty which makes it easier for clients to have the item repaired if damage or malfunction occurs.
Since the light fixture is mounted directly to the ceiling, it is ideal for hallways, foyers, bathrooms, and any other rooms and spaces that require minimal installation of lights and less hassle to people.
The coffee color in the finish also adds a traditional and antique look to the fixture which makes adaptable to be use in restaurants with the same theme as well. Also, the finish is metal all over, including the canopy, so it is less sensitive compared to hassle to handle compared to those that have glass canopies.
However, even though the finish is metal as well as the canopy, the light fixture do not provide extra protection for the light bulb. This will not matter much when the bulb is installed indoors but when the light fixture will be used outdoors, you may need to provide extra protection for the bulb, especially for heavy rains, strong winds, and many more harsh elements.
Furthermore, the light fixture supports only A19 bulb types so all other types of light bulb may or may not be compatible with the fixture. In this case, you will have to purchase a bulb that is of the same or very closely related type. Also, the fixture is sold as is which means that when you buy the item, the bulb does not come along with it. The light fixture cost $31.53 plus free shipping. The bulb costs around $5 each.
Final Verdict
The Design House 519884 Kimball 1-Light Textured Coffee Bronze Indoor Ceiling Mount is a good light fixture because of its modern and simplistic design. It also has a metal finish that is coffee colored which is uncommon as compared to the usual black or white. However, even though the light fixture is good, there are still minor glitches that can be improved such as the lack of additional cover or protection for the bulb like a metal cage. This makes the light fixture not advisable to be used outdoors especially when installed in places that allows exposure to harsh weather conditions like heavy rain or strong winds.
The industrial light fixture is also mounted or installed directly attached to the ceiling which is great for those who do not want lavish and dangling lights. It can also be attached to the wall for those who prefer wall lights. However, for those who are fond of hanging ceiling lights, the Design House 519884 Kimball 1-Light Textured Coffee Bronze Indoor Ceiling Mount is not the right product.
Also, the light fixture is not sold with an A19 incandescent light bulb so you will have to buy the bulb separately. Also, the bulb to be used is restricted to an A19 bulb type so using another bulb type may not be compatible with the light fixture.
Now, no matter how you want your light fixture to be, you must never forget to consider all factors and do not focus on design and structure alone. Functionality and practicality must be considered well and must be the top priority. It is highly recommended that when choosing light fixtures, you must consider and base your decisions to proper work space lighting ergonomics. Basing on the ergonomics will help you make sure that you get the best lighting installed in your office or your home.

for string quartet
This work is available from Boosey & Hawkes for the world.
World Premiere
Muziekcentrum Vredenburg, Utrecht
Schoenberg Quartet
Composer's Notes
Louis Andriessen's latest string quartet ...miserere... is connected to the famous Miserere by Allegri in the form: A B A C A B A B. The source for this connection is the German book Melodien by Helmut Krausser. In this book, set in Italy around 1400, the alchemist Castiglio starts a quest for the '26 magic melodies'. These secret melodies have strange powers, for example the power to enamour and to heal. Andriessen has previously used part of this melodic material in Remembering that Sarabande, a piece for four violas written for the 60th birthday of Annette Morreau. ...miserere... is in fact a set of variations.

A design-led website is one that is easily navigable, showcases your brand to best effect, and has effective content which 'tells your story', getting across your unique selling proposition (USP). There are 5 website essentials you need to be aware of.
1. Be mobile-friendly
The Google mobile-friendly algorithm change last year was widely termed 'mobilegeddon', and we wrote a post about it here. If your website is not mobile optimised, it will be penalised on mobile search results pages. When you consider how many potential clients will be searching on their mobile phones for your business - from your location to the services you offer - it potentially has quite a significant impact on your business.
Unsure? Take the Google mobile-friendly test here.
2. Be consistent
If your website is over two years old, get somebody outside your business to take a look at each page with fresh eyes. How's the user experience (UX)? What is the impression given by your website?
Many firms will invest in a professional office fitout, but neglect their online presence. Your branding should be consistent, from the office and your collateral through to your website and social media channels.
3. Be authentic
Is your content the same as every other accounting practice? Consider professional copywriting services (complete with questionnaire and in-depth personal
interview) for a deep dive into your vision, passion, and expertise. What's your niche? What drives you? What can you offer your clients? Looking at
Google Analytics, the 'About Us' page tends to be one of the most highly viewed pages - because people really want to know about you.
From your imagery, headings, language and navigation, make sure you get across the 'essence' of who you are.
4. Be communicative
No blog? It's time to change that. Regularly blogging, or using a monthly content subscription, gives you content for your email marketing and social media campaigns. If you want to increase your lead generation, you need some activity happening. Let your clients know what you're up to, and expand your referral networks with a dedicated content marketing strategy.
5. Be engaging
The easiest way to encourage engagement through your website is to have 'call-to-actions' (CTA's) on your Homepage. Make it easy for people to connect,
interact and engage with you, for example by having an eBook prospective clients can download in return for giving you their email address.
Time for a change?
If you score a 'miss' on any of the five website essentials, we're happy to review your website and offer best practice recommendations. Please contact us for more information on how you can get those essentials sorted and deliver results for your business.
Or, let's have coffee.

Another good workout!
Another useful pre-season workout saw us held to a 1-1 draw by South African champions Orlando Pirates in the second game of the 2011 Vodacom Challenge at the Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit.
Another useful pre-season workout saw us held to a 1-1 draw by South African champions Orlando Pirates in the second game of the 2011 Vodacom Challenge at the Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit.
Rafael van der Vaart's excellent 11th minute free-kick capped what was a bright start for us before the Pirates came back into it and found an equaliser five minutes before half-time through Happy Jele.
After a host of half-time substitutions, neither team could find a winner in an entertaining second half as we now await the winner of Thursday's Soweto derby in Saturday's final at Coca-Cola Park, Johannesburg.
Harry Redknapp named a much-changed starting XI from Saturday's defeat in Polokwane.
Luka Modric captained a side that included new signing Brad Friedel for the first time, with Bongani Khumalo also making a first Spurs start.
Pirates kept the ball well in the opening stages but we always looked the most dangerous going forward, like when Gareth Bale crashed his way down the left flank before firing over from a tight angle after just five minutes.
And just over 10 minutes later our pressure told when David Bentley won a free-kick 25 yards out and Rafael van der Vaart pinged home our first goal of pre-season with a perfectly struck free-kick.
Pirates were not to be downhearted though and looked to strike back almost immediately when Bongane Ndulula headed wide Jele's cross at the near post.
However, Jermain Defoe had an even better chance to double our on 22 minutes but couldn't turn home Bale's dangerous ball across the face of goal.
The Welshman then tried to match Van der Vaart's earlier effort with a free-kick from a similar position on 33 minutes, but Senzo Meyiwa was equal to his dipping strike.
And then five minutes before half-time, Pirates were back on level terms almost out of nothing.
Jele played a one-two in the bottom right corner with Isaac Chansa before firing at goal from a tight angle. Friedel got a hand to it, but it wasn't strong enough to keep the shot out, sending the Nelspruit crowd wild.
It certainly gave Pirates a lift as they looked to get themselves in front before the break with Ndulula striking a dangerous shot across the face of goal.
And then they once again had the ball in Friedel's net when Daine Klate tapped home after the American stopper had kept out Ndulula's initial shot but was flagged offside.
So we got back into the dressing rooms on level terms when Harry made a host of changes for the second half.
Kyle Walker, Michael Dawson, Aaron Lennon, Robbie Keane and Roman Pavlyuchenko came on, with Vedran Corluka assuming an unusual role in the centre of midfield.
Soon after the break, we had a golden chance to go back in front. Bale was once again the provider with a ball across the face of goal that Lennon could only stab wide.
Pirates had also made changes, the most impressive of which, Mark Mayambela, went on a tremendous solo run on the hour mark before firing over from a tight angle.
But we were unlucky not to take the lead three minutes later when Keane linked up well with Niko Kranjcar for the latter to chip over the on-rushing Meyiwa, only for Lucky Lekgwathi to clear off the line.
Keane himself then nearly capitalised on some suspect handling from Meyiwa following Danny Rose's cross, before Mayambela sent a 30 yard shot just inches wide.
Then, with 10 minutes remaining, some fantastic last ditch defending denied Oupa Manyisa in front of goal following a neat passing move.
Spurs (4-4-1-1): Friedel; Naughton (Walker, 46), Kaboul (Dawson, 46), Khumalo, Rose; Bentley (Lennon, 46), Palacios (Corluka, 46), Modric (Jenas, 61), Bale (Kranjcar, 61); Van der Vaart (Keane, 46); Defoe (Pavlyuchenko, 46)
Goals: Van der Vaart (11)
Pirates (4-3-3): Meyiwa; Jele (Ntusi, 65), Mahamutsa (Sangweni, 46), Lekgwathi (Johannes, 65) Cloete; Chansa (Mayambela, 46), Jali (Ngobeni, 65) Manyisa; Segolela (Bester, 77), Ndulula (Mabena, 74), Klate (Doutie, 46)
Goals: Jele (40)

Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas began as the private collection of Kay and Velma Kimbell as well as Dr. and Mrs. Coleman Carter, Kay's sister. The four friends established The Kimbell Art Foundation in 1936 and collected mostly French and British portraits of the 18th and 19th centuries.
At the time of Mr. Kimbell's death in 1964, the foundation had amassed 260 paintings and 86 other pieces of art. The Kimbell estate was willed to the foundation with the clear instruction to start a museum to bring art to Fort. Worth and the State of Texas. Velma donated her half of the estate to the foundation as well a week after Kay's death.
The foundation named an executive director in 1966 and together with the nine members of the board of directors, they began to plan and blueprint what would become Kimbell Art Museum. The museum would be first class and only accept the most aesthetically pleasing and highest quality art to the collection. The Kimbell collection is now around 350 pieces representing a wide variety of time periods and historical importance.
The museum broke ground in 1966, being designed by Louis Kahn. After opening in fall of 1972, the building was mused as one of the finest Art Museums to ever be built and is considered the masterpiece of Kahn's career. The museum went against popular trend and allowed the galleries to be flooded with natural light and garden elements. This became quite a unique and admired design because the museum was seen differently depending upon time of day and season.
The museum has three levels. The subfloor basement is not accessible by visitors. The lower lever has the entry way gallery, conservation labs, shipping and receiving areas and offices. The upper level is the main attraction and is comprised of the two main galleries, café, gift shop, library, two garden courtyards, and auditorium.
The Piano Pavilion
In November, 2013, another museum building was added to the property so that the Kimbell could expand in everything it could offer the community. The permanent collection at The Kimbell had large parts of it stored away whenever the museum would host an exhibit. The Piano Pavilion was built to allow the Kimbell to be the permanent collection's home while seasonal exhibits would be set up in the Pavilion. This new building also had classrooms that are part of their full scale education program, a considerably large auditorium, a library and underground parking.
Comprised of only around 350 pieces, the Kimbell Collection is smaller than most art museums. The mission of The Kimbell was always to provide quality over quantity and this collection has been deemed one of the highest quality collections on display.
The Kimbell Foundation have been very selective about the works displayed in the museum. Taking into account the collections at other museums, The Kimbell does not have anything that is from beyond the mid-20th century out of respect to the modern art museum and no American art as that is the focus of another art museum in the area. The Kimbell has some of the world's most ancient antique art pieces dating back to the third millennium B.C. in Egypt as well as from ancient Assyria, Greece and Rome.
European Art is a compilation of 17th and 18th century works from the Italian renaissance in the 1800's and painting and sculpture from Britain, France, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, and Finland.
Asian Art has a wide assortment of different mediums of artistic works. There are bronze statues, ceramics and pottery, paintings, and more from Thailand, China, Cambodia, Tibet, Nepal, India, Japan and Korea. Many different cultures are featured in this collection.
Pre-Columbian Art shows pieces from Ancient South American and Mexican cultures such as the Mayans, Olmec, and Aztecs. Many of the pieces are stone, jade, bronze and ceramic. There are also a few pieces by the Conte and Wari ancient civilizations.
African and Oceanic Art focuses on the art of West and Central Africa. Most pieces are made out of wood while some are bronze and terracotta as well. The Oceanic Art is a few pieces from the Maori people.
All of the Collections are located in the Kimbell Art Museum and can also be viewed online. The Kimbell Foundation has taken great strides to provide the most accurate provenance possible for each art work in their collection. Some of these pieces can be traced all the way back to the first buyer and some are particularly interesting because of the change of ownership during World War II Nazi era.
Art exhibitions are generally held in the Piano Pavilion. The current exhibit is Monet: The Early Years, and will be running through the end of January 2017. The works on display are from the beginning of Monet's career as an artist. From his debut in 1858 through the first twenty years.
Upcoming exhibitions include Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture, A Modern Vision: European Masterworks from The Phillips Collection.
The Kimbell Art Museum is dedicated to enriching the Fort Worth community through art and hosts several educational opportunities for adult and child learners.
Friday Evening Lectures is a special program on select Fridays where visitors can listen to speakers that are relevant to the Permanent Collection or exhibitions at The Piano Pavilion.
Art in Context is a Wednesdays lunch hour presentation that focuses on one or a few related pieces of the Kimbell Permanent Collection.
The Artist's Eye is a discussion based peer group that gets together on selected Saturdays. This group talks about different works and add their own special insights based on their own craft. Kimbell staff moderates the discussion but it is participant lead.
State of the Arts is a yearly, hour long presentation where art professionals and moderators discuss the state of the arts in Texas and culturally relevant topics.
Symposia is a day-long event where visitors can attend discussion panels on a variety of topics from leading world art experts. This event also serves to announce the grand opening of the special exhibitions every year.
Artful Readings is one of the only presentations that requires an admittance fee, however this adults- only event serves wine and light refreshments for patrons. The connections between select literary pieces and works of art in The Kimbell are discussed. Registration is required.
On select Sundays, Films are also shown on different artists or the history behind varied pieces of art. The Kimbell and The Piano Pavilion regularly produce live music in the auditoriums and performances such as stage performance, dance performance, public dances, and orchestras.
The Kimbell has opportunities for schools and the public to participate in a variety of hands on learning education through many different programs.
Studio Art Workshops are classes for learning an art form. There are adult only classes, family and children's classes, as well as teen workshops and programs for educators only. Studio Art also includes a gallery tour that is relevant to the medium being learned about. Registration and fee are required but each workshop includes lunch from the onsite restaurant.
Studio Five 90 is a Friday evening open workshop where artists that enjoy any medium can come together to create and mingle. There are also gallery activities to spark discussion and creativity. This workshop is for teens and adults only and seating is limited.
Viewpoints is a community program for those who suffer with Alzheimer's disease. Memory care centers chaperone these engagements.
There are several programs that are members only and include private tours, coffee hours, exhibition tours, and member's only nights. There are also a few different programs for teens to hang out at the museum after hours and drop in studios for small kids. The Kimbell has a program for everyone and frequently hosts school and university field trips.
The Buffet Restaurant is located at The Kimbell and serves lunch, desserts, and Friday evening dinner. There is also a café in The Pavilion that serves sandwiches, light snacks, desserts, and beverages. The cafe's hours extend past the restaurant's so grabbing a snack is always easy when visiting The Kimbell.
When visiting the Kimbell, there will be public guided tours scheduled throughout the day. These tours require no additional tickets or fees. Tours will be either the Permanent Collection, Special Exhibitions, or a tour specifically to educate on the architecture and history of the two buildings with tours of both.
Conservation and Research at The Kimbell
Louis Kahn designed a room in the museum to be specifically used for treating and examining paintings. The room is filled with bright natural light and visitors in the East Gallery can watch the happenings in the Conservation Room through a large window. Kimbell staff uses this space to restore and preserve important art works.
The Research department at The Kimbell frequently uses the conservation room as well, however, their primary focus is finding the provenance behind each art work at the museum, dating and authenticating various works.

Changing Your Diet? Try These Nutrition Tips And Tricks
3 years ago Imas Masitoh Comments Off on Changing Your Diet? Try These Nutrition Tips And Tricks
Learn what foods your body requires. You need to understand your own needs. Here are some way to achieve a healthy diet that others have found helpful.
Try packing your own lunch for work or school meals.It just takes about ten minutes or less to make yourself some meals and snacks.
When planning a diet made up of sufficient calories and nutrition, include a minimum of eight ounces of daily lean meats. This amount of meat will amply fulfill your needs for protein and iron that you need. Great protein sources include bison, venison or any other sort of lean meat.
These meals often have high amounts of fat and fats that are bad for you. Buy and prepare fresh veggies and cook them yourself to gain the most health benefits from them.
This will enable you to enjoy dining out without betraying your commitment to good nutrition.
Pay attention to your meal plan in order to have a better day.When you eat too much, it does cumulative damage to your overall health.This can reduce your metabolism and overall health.
Do you want to eat a lot less red meat you're eating? Use red meat to add a bit of flavor to your vegetables and vegetables. The Chinese and Mediterranean people do this and they have a lot less problems with heart diseases.
Smoothies make and healthy treat. Here is one way to make your next smoothie. Add some flax seed with omega 3 fatty acids or cocoa powder to your smoothie for an antioxidant-rich pick-me-up. These ingredients will both give your flavor a boost and add some extra nutritional punch to the nutrients that you need while providing antioxidants as well.
Fruit juice is a good alternative to raw veggies and fruits. Drinking juice with a straw will help to prevent tooth decay.
Get good sleep every night and drink too much alcohol. These things are unhealthy for your pores and make your skin. Bigger pores mean more dirt and infections that lead to pimples. Get a good night's sleep and consume no more than one glass of alcohol.
You don't have to give up your favorite fried foods or sweets to achieve good nutrition in pregnancy, but you will have to limit how much of them you consume. Don't feel bad if you do eat fatty treats once in awhile, but both you and your baby will benefit when you make healthier choices.
Diabetics should be careful since alcohol can cause blood sugar levels.
A valuable nutrition tip during pregnancy is making sure you get enough calcium in your diet. Calcium is important for unborn babies so they can develop healthy bones and bones.
Salads don't have to be limited to lettuce and ranch dressing. You can add just about any healthy fruit imaginable as well as veggies and nuts to dried fruits. You can try out different dressings in order to keep your salads with homemade salad dressings.
Nutrition plays an important part of your emotional well being and health. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help you avoid physical and disease.
If you slip some days don't worry. If you start to feel guilty, you have a greater chance of falling back into your bad eating habits. Just think of it as a cheat day and start fresh when you left off. Getting down on yourself is not accomplish anything.
You can use record keeping as many records as possible that will chart your progress. If you were overweight, log the successes in pounds dropped and inches lost as your diet has improved.
Make simple meals that your entire family will love. When you keep to basic dishes that everyone loves, you can be assured that they will have a healthy meal.
Fruit is vital to add to your diet if you suffer runny stools. Fruit and lots of fiber for digestion as well as other helpful nutrients.
There are certain tactics that you can do to improve your diet. If you consistently follow this rule when choosing what to eat, it will soon blend seamlessly into your daily routine.
Do not eat cereals full of sugar for breakfast. These cereals are loaded with preservatives and preservatives; many even have trans fats.
Healthy fats are important to include in your diet everyday. Healthy fats do not include those found in french fries, burgers or french fries.You should always try to avoid them.
Greek yogurt is an easy way to incorporate more protein that can be added to your diet. Non-fat Greek yogurt can be used in recipes as a great low calorie switch from fattier sour cream. It can actually replace just about any cream-like ingredient. Greek yogurt has a lot of protein and less fat than meat.
Be careful whenever substituting ground beef as a method of cutting calories and fat. Ground turkey also comes in various levels of fat, just like ground beef, you may not save calories.
Even the busiest parent should set aside time to prepare a lunch for their children to take to school, you need to make healthy meals for your kids. The foods that they have at school are going to impact their educational and playground energy.
By now, you should realize the importance of the suggestions offered above and take them to heart. Keep in mind that you need good nutrition to have good health. Continue to learn all you can. It'll be worth it!

Darjeeling, Sept. 10: Additional sessions judge Santanu Mishra today delivered a judgement in a rape case 28 days after the charges were framed against three accused, making the trial one of the fastest in Darjeeling in the recent times.
The case was related to the rape of a three-year-old girl in Kalimpong subdivision in April.
While one of the accused, Sunil Rai, 35 has been sentenced to rigorous life imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 50,000, Prabal Pradhan, 32, has been sentenced to one year rigorous imprisonment with a fine of Rs 5,000. The third accused, Sambhu Subba, 33, has been acquitted.
Public prosecutor Pranay Rai said: "On April 18, 2014, a three-year-old girl was playing in the courtyard of one Dil Kumar Darzi, who also runs a restaurant, around 6pm. One of the accused in the case, Sunil Rai, who was in the restaurant, called the girl on the pretext of buying sweets (for her)."
Later, Sunil took the child to a secluded playground where he committed the crime, Rai said. When the girl's mother did not find her, she started looking for the child.
"It was then that Dil Kumar and Reshma Darzi (a local resident) told the villagers that they had seen the child with Sunil. The villagers started searching, and after some time, they heard the girl's cries from behind a bush. The victim was in a semi-unconscious state with blood stains on the lower part of the body," said Rai.
"At a distance, they saw Sunil running away and the accused was also seen having a conversation with Sambhu Subba (another villager). Sunil fled the spot and took shelter at Prabal Pradhan's house. Prabal and Sambhu were arrested around 9pm but the prime accused, Sunil, could not be found," said Rai.
The next day, police arrested Sunil from a hotel in Kalimpong.
The accused persons were booked under Section 376 (2) (i) (rape) of the IPC, Section 6 of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, and Section 212 of the IPC (harbouring an accused).
"The charges were framed on August 14, 2014, and during the trial, 17 witnesses were examined. This is one of the fastest trails to be completed in recent times, despite Darjeeling not having a fast-track court," Rai said.
He added that judge Mishra has directed that 80 per cent of the fine from the accused duo be paid as compensation to the victim. "The victim is also entitled to get compensation from the state government and the district legal service authority," said Rai.

{Continued from THE PALL in PART 24}
There was the north tower, a monolith fearsomely dwarfing the atrium roof. A vicious cut had formed across the west face (and the north, barely visible). Smoke issued from the gaping holes around the tower, forming a sickening, broad stream into the grimy sky.
"Don't stop, ladies!" a police officer shouted. "Keep moving!"
The thick antenna was barely detectable. I grimaced as I viewed this wounded dragon and wanted to scream as loud as I could, just like Marian. Something tiny heaved out of the huge, smoky hole on the north - it looked almost like a person. I believe it was, since dozens of people did jump from the tower.
"Marian, don't look anymore! We've got to go!"
I yanked on her arm. I could see exits with personnel guiding the civilians out. Marian resisted, and I almost fell again. She was fixed to that spot. The officer who yelled at us pulled us apart. He began giving Marian a pep talk. Her eyes looked glazed as she continued to stare fixedly at that fractured tower.
"Keep going, miss. I'll talk to her," he said to me.
I burst into a sprint and ran across the rest of the atrium. My head was tilted back slightly. Distant palm trees bounced and floated in my peripheral vision before receding from view. My idiotic mind responded with ... this uncharted desert isle ... with Gilligan ... the Skipper too... I continued to the exit. The officials there told me to keep going and out to the marina.
Into the darkness of day. That was exactly what it was. Though my watch indicated 10:23 a.m., the entire world, formerly burnished by that brilliant late summer day, was now bleak and soupy gray. I stopped walking and began to closely study the tableau before me. I became the outsider, the witness I had always considered myself to be. It was more as if I were watching historic footage or were hermetically sealed from the disaster - suspended from space and time, as it were.
Everything was pasty gray - people, their clothing, the buildings, the greenery, the ground. Tattered papers � corporate reports, letters, computer printouts, and the like � also littered the area. I was in a kind of forecourt or plaza between the Financial Center and an inlet. This was the North Cove Marina, normally a docking for both luxury yachts and ferries. My fingers tapped on my camera.
i took several shots of wtc 1's suffering. i had to. there must be a record of this awful day
There were commuter boats, Coast Guard ships, and tour vessels. People - some injured, most gray ghosts - were being loaded onto the boats. A few chugged across the Hudson. The evacuation of the British at Dunkirk in 1940. This is what this is like. People either walked toward the marina or meandered about. Some people were crying or shaking their heads. A few tried to make cell phones work. Their clothes were torn and stained. Some had wounds and burns. Faces were hollow and frightened. They're casualties of some war. Will we soon really be at war?
Moving away from the Financial Center, I paused to look down at myself. I was a big, stinking mess. Bloodstains and spots were intermixed with that strange gray dust. The makeshift bandage on my arm was entirely red, barely visible beneath the gray. I turned and looked back and saw the north tower. It still loomed high over the petite, fragile-looking Winter Garden and Financial Center towers - belching that disgusting smoke. It was dominant but mortally injured. Would it remain standing?
I fumbled for my digital camera and took several shots of WTC 1's suffering. I had to. There must be a record of this awful day. I took more pictures of the marina, of the racket and confusion, of the beleaguered refugees. I tried to be energetic, but a faint dizziness hit me (I realized later this was due to my blood loss).
It was not enough to defeat me, but I finally decided to shut the camera off. I took out my drawing pad and made a quick sketch of the tower and surrounding buildings. As I looked up once during my artwork, I saw another object fall from the structure - another person.
I gasped but continued to draw, gripped with this fever that I had to preserve these events somehow. I thought, For everyone, especially those who die, and those who'll live to tell about this.
I drew distraught faces and shadowy figures walking from the destruction.
The lost souls who walked by stared at me oddly and peered at my pad in surprise. One man, his right eye a large welt, said, "Yeah, go ahead, draw it. Draw how the bastards are killing us."
Firefighters, cops, and rescue personnel directed people toward ferries. My watch now indicated it was 10:26 a.m. I saw the policeman who had assisted Marian escorting her out of the Winter Garden. When I eventually stepped onto a boat, I lost touch with her.
Insane. Insane again--
Standing there, I was reminded of my recurring tugboat nightmare. Now the captains were finally going to take us away from the towers. No, revise that - tower.
I glanced at my watch yet again - 10:27 a.m. Had I not been shooting images of the fountain and towers only four hours ago? Had I not been sitting there on a bench, gazing at Koenig's fine Sphere again, savoring doughnuts and letting coffee warm my throat in the bright early morning, topped by that wondrous azure sky--?
10:28. The rumbling began faintly, just as it had when the south tower disintegrated. Everyone's heads seemed to snap around to look in the direction of the sound, including me.
The north tower's antenna began to tilt, at first almost undiscernibly. Realizing what was happening, I dropped my drawing pad and pencil and pointed my camera at the scene. Fortunately I had left it turned on. My view of this last chapter in the WTC's life switched from my own vision to the liquid crystal viewfinder on the back of the camera.
"Oh, my God! Oh, my God!" people yelled.
"Holy shit!" a few others said.
People panicked and ran toward the marina. Others dashed out of the Financial Center. Screaming and crying were ubiquitous. Insanely again, I remained where I was to remember the structure's end.
The antenna slanted crazily to the right as the north tower's summit dissolved and started spewing rubble outward. The antenna vanished in a haze of debris. The tower shrank before our eyes, precipitously dropping straight down. Like controlled demolition! Like the old Hudson's Building in downtown Detroit! All was accompanied by that unholy rumbling, that growling, earthquake-like thunder. The earth shuddered. Some cried and screamed. I pressed the shutter button as fast as possible, trying to save this nightmare for the future.
"No, no!"
"Please, God, please!"
"Not again!"
"Oh, my God, my God!"
"Why? Why?"
More sobbing and shrieking. The tower was mostly gone when it slipped behind the Winter Garden's arc, while simultaneously raining new destruction on it and the Financial Center towers.
WTC 1 was gone. The rumbling ceased. The ground grew still. I turned off my camera and let it slip from my hands. It hung as a dull weight around my neck. I picked up my art pad. The sound was succeeded by a new, thick cloud, a menacing, diabolical looking mass of dark gray that erupted from the tower's old spot. Part of it hung in a harsh plume, marking the structure's ruins. Other portions spread outward, joining the pall from the south tower. The fog engulfed everything and rapaciously spread over the Winter Garden and the Financial Center's spires. It ruthlessly expanded and charged toward the evacuees, the public safety workers, the emergency personnel, the ferries, the marina.
People started running, coughing, and covering their faces with anything they could find. My eyes watered, and I hacked again as the particles shoved their way past my face cover. I looked down at myself. I was coated head to toe in more gray powder, which was so persistent that it even concealed the dried bloodstains on my clothing. Now I am an apparition, too, departing this place of crying souls. I feel like I'm in some underworld of the doomed. You ARE part of this. You are not the outsider!
"All right, everybody, start loading up again!" a man said. "We've got to move out!"
I got into a line for a large, double-deck ferry with tinted glass windows and the words "NY WATERWAY" emblazoned across her upper level.
The line in which I stood moved toward the ferry. A couple other queues fed other boats. Most people were silent and looked grief-stricken or sullen. I looked at the huge boat's side and blinked with disbelief - her name was Yogi Berra. It was unnerving to see she was named for the language-fracturing, hilarious Yankees catcher.
A couple men helped people into the ferry, including myself. People coughed loudly. I heard a roaring overhead and flinched. Others jumped, too - it was a jet. When we looked up, though, we saw an F-16, not a commercial airliner. Even more so, I realized we were in a city under siege.
I was directed to the ferry's upper level and was lucky to find a seat by the window. Once the boat was full, its engines growled as we pulled away from the dock. It joined a slow, stern procession of others crossing the Hudson River.
I sat so I could see Manhattan Island's western shore. Normally, you would have seen Nelson and David, the gargantuan dragons, ruling the skyline, but now there was a void. It was a grotesque void issuing forth with a wide band of dark gray smoke, which gave the borough a ghastly pall.
I turned on my camera again and took a couple shots. I took a couple pencils out of my pack and set my sketchpad on my lap. I rushed to draw that maimed cityscape with its smoking wound. People next to me watched intently and silently as I drew, my pencil strokes angry and fast.
Few people spoke as the ferry continued to chug along, going who knew where. I discreetly draw some of the people on the boat. One was a fireman, clad in helmet, turnout pants with broad red suspenders, and dark blue shirt with FDNY in white letters. A white dressing could be seen wrapped around his forehead and left eye. He sat motionlessly and stared down at the floor. It seemed strange to see him among the civilians.
These were a diverse crowd, reflecting their city's population. They ranged from a couple young moms with kids to several seniors. They were of a variety of racial and ethnic groups. Many wore office clothing ranging from "business casual" to formal suits. One older black woman had a black Lab - a guide dog - at her side. Nearly all had one thing in common - a thick coating of the gray powder of destruction.
I pulled my makeshift face scarf off and cautiously inhaled. The air was okay. Soft crying came from a few passengers. Another fighter jet engine could be heard as the aircraft loudly passed overhead. The closer we got to the Jersey shore, the more the air and sky became clear.
...the central railroad of new jersey terminal, a victorian structure of dark red brick, a clock tower, windows with rounded tops, and dormers...
I saw a grizzled man walking by, who looked like a deckhand, and stopped him. "Do you know where we're going?"
"Liberty State Park. There's an emergency center set up there."
"Oh. Thanks."
"No problem." The man looked at my drawing. "That's a pretty good picture."
"Thank you."
"This whole thing's just been awful. Terrorist bastards. We oughta nuke 'em."
I said nothing. The man then looked at my arm. The stained T-shirt around my forearm was barely visible.
"Looks like you got hurt pretty bad there."
"Yeah. Big piece of glass in the north tower lobby."
"They'll be able to fix that up. There's all kinds of emergency crews set up. That's what they said on the radio." I figured he meant a two-way radio.
"Then I suppose I'm going to the right place."
The man nodded and continued on, occasionally speaking to others. I saw other boats in the evacuation stream; these had sailed from Pier 11 near the end of Wall Street. I finished a drawing, from memory, of the falling north tower and drew more pictures of several of the refugees on the ferry. I felt worn out and light-headed, but still I sketched.
As I put my pencil to the broad stream of smoke rising above the WTC site, I realized that my status as outsider and observer for nearly two decades was over. I was as encrusted in dust as the rest and had moved into the camp of participants.
I looked up as we began steaming up a narrow canal. I put away my pad and pencils. Boats tied up at several long docks and unloaded their passengers. A broad green was dominated by the Central Railroad of New Jersey terminal, a Victorian structure of dark red brick, a clock tower, windows with rounded tops, and dormers set within a peaked roof covered in black shingles. Dozens upon dozens of emergency vehicles were parked in nearby lots.
My boat pulled up to the dock and weighed anchor. Rescue personnel, police, and volunteers helped people off. I also saw National Guard soldiers, which bolstered the feeling of being in a war zone. The refugees were led into a large white tent near the docks that served as a triage center.
Emotions were high, as blank-faced survivors in their ragged, grimy garments filed ashore. The murmur of voices contrasted with soft crying and the shriek of a baby. Many survivors looked in shock and lost, so the volunteers and medical workers were quick to provide guidance. Some handed out towels and bottled water to the refugees, including myself.
I was taken to the nearby tent, where I saw IV poles and stretchers with people attended by doctors and nurses. A volunteer took me to an empty gurney and helped me sit down. I took off my cumbersome backpack and camera bag, setting them next to the stretcher.

from Jeremy
With three people living in a two-bedroom two-bath apartment, you would be excused from thinking there's enough available labor to go around to keep the place spotless and tip-top shape. How could two adults who managed to clean a four-bedroom two-and-a-half-bath house not keep a much smaller place spick and span with the help of a now capable four-year old? Easy, the answer was that we hired help to clean the house and we're doing the apartment ourselves. Given that dynamic, it's not hard to figure that we have to divide out our duties in order to ensure that the place averages clean. It's not pristine at all times, and some rooms/bathrooms my be clean while others lay fallow, but it's generally a clean place to live. We each have our regular jobs when it comes to cleaning, and then we have special projects too!
When it comes to regular jobs, we need to work to our strengths. Jeremy, despite being raised a neat freak, is still kinda a neat freak (see, we can evolve within a lifetime!) Jan likes projects that help make the place livable, but isn't as much of a neat-freak as Jeremy. Joshua likes to use a spray bottle. Doesn't matter the project, a spray bottle is really the big draw. Therefore, we each focus on what we do best when it comes to dividing out the jobs we have to do.
Who does what?
I like a bathroom that sparkles rather than stinks, radiates cleanliness rather than bacterial spores. Honestly, who doesn't? When I lived on my own, I cleaned my whole apartment every Saturday morning, whether it needed it or not, basking in the feeling of a freshly clean place to start off the week. It was a form of Sabbath for me, ending one week and beginning the next. Then, I went to Vietnam, had maids, and all of my training went down the drain. I got lazy and complacent. After almost twelve years living with Jan I'm back to pretty regular cleaning, but not to the same degree I used to do it.
Therefore, I clean the bathrooms, and am most responsible for vacuuming, although Jan sometimes does both if I'm travelling. I'm particular about how the showers, bathtubs, and sinks are cleaned. I want a sanitary toilet (again, who doesn't?) and will work to make it so. I average cleaning the bathrooms and vacuuming once every two-three weeks (depending on travel requirements). Not bad, but not my bad-ass self from singledom either.
Jan focuses on maintaining and refreshing the kitchen, planning our meals, and usually bathing Joshua. That's a full-time job in its own right! She'll often pitch in when anything else is needed too, covering for me as I travel. She's also the point-person for most Joshua related activities; whether that's taking him to school, playing with him while I'm working, or meeting up for play-dates with other kids/parents. Jan has the key job, ensuring that the little dude is well cared for.
As for dishes, laundry, and trash we split those depending on who has the most energy or just what needs to be done at the time they are available. We rarely let dishes sit in the sink, and laundry seems to happen at least once every two-three days despite our best efforts of rewearing what isn't dirty. Trash is kinda easy because Joshua loves to go around the apartment collecting it all, then take it to the trash shoot and recycling bin.
Joshua is most responsible for spraying the windows, spraying for dusting, and spraying the floor, as well as using the swiffer in the kitchen. He loves helping out with cleaning, as long as he can use the spray. We're working to expand his abilities and desire to help. Lately he's really kicked in with the laundry because he can use the Tonka dump truck he got for the holidays to haul laundry too and from the laundry room. If we make it fun for him he's totally into helping.
What about the rest?
There's a lot of jobs that need to be done that I haven't mentioned yet. These fall into the special projects category of work that is not really divided amongst us, but is just done as needed. Among this category is cleaning the balcony, organizing all of the toys at the end of every day, watering plants, and simply picking up things that have been placed/thrown on the floor. For the small things, like picking up stuff and watering plants, we all chip in. For the bigger things, like cleaning the balcony, we're willing to pay for effort. Joshua has begun earning money by helping with projects like cleaning the balcony. We do this about once a month in the seasons when we use the balcony. He has his sandbox out there, so it's partially his as well. He's very active in gardening on it, storing his bike there, and playing out there, so he likes to have a clean environment too. We didn't want to make this a regular cleaning responsibility since it's such a big job, so we offered to pay him to help us do it. He loves that, and has used the money earned to save, give as donations, and buy himself a toy every now and then.
Our struggle
We're racking our brains to think about what other special projects we can give to Joshua for him to earn money. He really likes it, but one of the benefits we've thoroughly enjoyed about having an apartment rather than a house is that we have far less maintenance to do! Given this lightened load, we also ran out of special projects to give to an every increasingly capable young man who wants to work.
What projects do you give your kids?
How much do you pay them for these projects?
How do you divide up your household chores?

News from the StarsTime Zone AEST
4th June Full Moon in Sagittarius at 9.11pm with Lunar Eclipse not seen here.
5th June Neptune goes retrograde in Pisces
7th June Mercury enters Cancer

What's that in the sky?
For all you night owls
Mars and Saturn are high overhead. Mars is the reddish light more to the west, while Saturn is the creamy light overhead.
Mercury will be seen later in the month with a brief appearance low on the horizon at Sunset until he follows the Sun and disappears below the horizon.
Let the Moon be your guide when she will be next to Saturn 1st June and again on the 28th June. She will be next to mercury on the 21st, and next to Mars on the 26th June.
For all you early birds
Very soon you will see Jupiter rising in the east just ahead of the Sun. Maybe you will see Venus close by at the end of the month. But the rising Sun will soon obscure our vision.
The Scorpion will be diving head fist in the western horizon and soon gone from view. Let the moon be your guide when she will be next to Jupiter on the 17th June.

Why doesn't breyer release some of these kinds of models to the public? All of the REALLY pretty models are for breyerfest or special breyer events where only attendees can get the models or people that couldn't\can't make it can buy them for so much more on eBay... so, breyer, can you release some models like these to the public? THEYRE AMAZING :) *BUT SO ARE ALL OF YOUR OTHER MODELS*

we rented a car, which we picked up after breakfast. the road west was nice, full of trees, wildflowers, and tunnels. plus, we got to test out a finnish rest stop (clean/nice), but when we got out of the car we were hit with more grey, wind, rain, and cold than we had dressed for. we werent quite to our destination (the weather hadnt been predicted to be this cold) yet so we hoped for the best. it was still grey when we arrived in turku but the temperature and wind were more manageable.
turku is the oldest city in finland and used to be the capital (until it was moved to helsinki in 1812, when russia was in charge). also, being on the western side of finland, there is more of a swedish-speaking population here, the citys swedish name is åbo. when we drove into turku it seemed like a hodge podge of building types and time periods, at least from the direction we entered town. we parked near the market square and made our way to lunch: china & thai palace. yum, the food was simple, fast, and flavorful. we hadnt had good thai in a while so we were pleased.
(lunch noodles)
after lunch we went down the block to the fantastic main library branch. since the weather was still kind of yucky we were happy to go in and explore. there were so many nooks and creative spots for kids and kids at heart, so much more than dusty books on shelves to intrigue the mind, and the library had one wall of all glass windows looking out onto an interesting courtyard with art sculptures too. the place was almost too interesting, we didnt actually get any reading in. lol.
(one of many views of the kids area)
our next stop was the 100+ year old toy store called casagrande. the shelf presentation wasnt anything to write home about, but the toy selection was wonderful, and the owner was chatty. we ended up getting a new animal toy for X (a snake) and some awesome kinetic sand (really cool product from swedish company, waba fun). we also found out we can email the owner to have toys mailed to us (even though the store doesnt actually have a webstore), so that will come in handy for unique things at gift-giving times.
then we started just wandering around. we made it into the turku market hall and got some treats (GF vanilla/cherry pulla, raspberry macaroon, gingerbread cookie, and an apple pulla) and then walked a few blocks along the citys central canal/river. there was certainly lots more to see, but we were ready to just settle into our cottage and relax a bit. so, we grabbed some simple dinner stuff from the grocery store and headed 15 minutes north toward the town of naantali.
(turku market hall. so far, all the finnish market halls weve encountered look similar)
we checked in to our little red cottage at tammiston tila, a nice piece of property with an old wooden farmhouse, gardens, and a few cottages. after exploring the grounds for bit, we had a dinner of fruit and sandwiches. then we headed into picturesque naantali in search of dessert and a nice end to the evening. we won on both accounts. the town was rather packed because it was the final night of their music festival and the sun had finally decided to make its glorious appearance. the little harbor of naantali is perfectly situated to soak up every ounce of the eternal summer sun of finland. the town seemed very much like the little coastal tourist town gems of northern and UP michigan. it was so lively by the water, and the place was filled with families and couples of all ages, it could enchant anyone. we got ice cream from a little window and sat in the sun by the docks people and animal watching. then we wandered around, played at a playground, and headed back to the cottage.
(naantali harbor; playground fun)
in the morning, breakfast was served in the bright and comfy farmhouse dining room. the selection was perhaps good for most peoples diets but it was certainly not that great for people needing gluten free fare (probably the least varied offerings ive had at any nordic place weve been). to add to our leaving day experience, when we checked out we found out the linens we had rented for the cottage were 12€/person!! are you f-ing kidding me!? the cottage was quaint and the property was nice, but i cant possibly fathom going back there. nope. unfortunately this was just the beginning of our costly day because our destination was moominworld (the disney-like franchise of finland).
we did manage to dodge the 8€ parking fee for moominworld and just parked on the street in naantali. we did take the (free) moominworld train from the naantali town church to the bridge onto the island. the park entrance was 25€/person (only kids under age 2 are free)! while i will say that the island the theme park is situated on is very naturally beautiful and serene it is not worth the price, in general. when we first entered the park, we did the walking/exploring adventure through the moomin side characters storyland. and that was fun, though a little scary in tone at times (i have found that nordic stories/authors for kids are not afraid to be a little scary or 'controversial'). then we toured the whole of the moomin familys iconic house (up to the 4th floor attic and down to the cellar). and next was moominpapas area, that was fun because of the water play area.
(bridge at the end of the storyland; water play in moominpapa area)
lastly, we continued along the forested trail past moominpapas with little stopping points of other lesser characters play areas. there was a 'barefoot trail' where you were invited to take your shoes off and walk on sand, rocks, smooth stone, and through water. X loved that, but ended up slipping in the water and needing to change her clothes. then our visit descended to its dissatisfying (at least for the adults) ending. we had a nearly 40€ lunch at 'moominmamas kitchen'. it was a buffet place (which we thought would be better than the hamburger/hot dog/fries stands elsewhere) with mostly meatball, hot dog and mashed potato offerings with a few additional soggy or bland foods. and again there wasnt very much for me to choose from. sucked. then we zipped through the gift shop where there were thumb sized moomin figurines for nearly 5€/each. ha! we left that place empty-handed. and we completed our moominworld day by catching a moomin musical show that was going on by the entrance/exit of the park. what a dull and uninspired show. ugh.
(barefoot trail)
so, in summary, the park was situated on a truly lovely island in a great little gem of a town...the rest...was crap. it was the most un-finnish place weve been to since we lived here, and if they were trying to take a page from american theme parks/tourism they only really seemed to have stolen the yucky parts, with just enough 'finnish'-ness sprinkled in to be offensive and feel manipulative. the moomin franchise has actually slowly been bugging me more and more since weve lived here. its the biggest literary export of finland and the characters are all over the country and are basically a symbol of childhood. the stories seem wonderful (they are for older kids so we havent gotten to reading them for ourselves) but the branding and usage rights for the commercial aspect of the famous family are distasteful, at least in contrast to the rest of finnish culture. its so off-putting that i think i will be avoiding pretty much all moomin things in the future, except for the books. thats where the real, original enchantment and value is.
anyway, to end our trip, we walked off moominworld and stripped off the yucky feeling to be re-wrapped in the loveliness that is naantali. its called the sunshine town for a reason. the sun brightens up its harborfront for pretty much the whole day in the summer. we absorbed the energy of the relaxing people, got ourselves another ice cream treat, and ended our mini vacation on a good note. heres hoping we make it back to the west coast sometime soon.

Helping you build a remarkable business

Planning and Managing Growth:
Growth is vital to any company; there is a well-known phrase "if you're not moving forwards, you're going backwards"
Most businesses that have experienced high growth carefully strategised and planned for that growth to take place. They identify beforehand where the growth will come from, how they will stimulate it and importantly what needs to be put in place to ensure that they are capable of maintaining it; profitably!
What do we find?
Many business owners want their businesses to grow and are frustrated by a lack of growth. Others find their business is growing and they are now faced with new challenges that they feel ill equipped to face.
There are many stresses placed upon a business when it begins to grow; common areas include leadership capacity, recruitment of key skills, operational capacity and cash-flow. All of them can stop growth in its tracks; but a lack of cash can kill an otherwise healthy business.
How can we help?
Our hands on business experience means we can help you clarify your growth strategy upfront. Sound planning will underpin your growth ambitions and pre-identify many of the areas that will come under stress as you grow. We can then help you put in place strategies to develop your business capacity in key areas giving you every chance to grow profitably.
Sometimes even the best laid plans face challenges and we can help you put in place key performance indicators that will provide early identification of potential problems. The implementation of timely mitigation strategies will then keep your growth ambitions on track.
It's not only Hagrid's three headed beast of Harry Potter fame that goes by the name Fluffy. Marketing has been "accused" of being 'fluffy' by which it is meant that it is not measurable, not accountable and it is unclear how it impacts the business.Read More
So you have your marketing plan sorted out (if not, see our previous blog in this series for some useful pointers). Now you just need to make it happen.Read More
Those that plan … win! A good marketing plan dovetails with your business plan. Together they act as a navigation system for your business: assessing the conditions and setting the strategic direction.Read More
