To consider what overalls display is to name what details emerge when viewing or examining them. Are they simple, constructed from one-ply cotton that extends from the leg up over the shoulders, a narrow bib, and no or only back pockets? According to 1850s catalogues and wholesale flyers, the first overalls worn by farmers and tradesmen were simple and mass produced (Hemken 73). They were also baggy, so they could fit over and protect clothing.
Or, are the overalls more complex, with thick, maybe even oiled, waterproof denim, a reinforced diamond stitched in the back, adjustable straps hooked to the front with sturdy clasps, wide bibs for coverage from armpit to armpit, loops for hammers and other tools, and multiple pockets for watches, rulers, and manuals? Do they have a label that reads, "Union Made"?
The 1890s label was a way to increase sales and support Union workers. A percentage of sales went to the United Garment Workers Association to rally against long hours and dangerous conditions (Hemken 48).
The mechanized man satirized in the film Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin wore his bib overalls for protection from factory mishaps. The ideal fit was close to the body to prevent snagging on machinery.
What information do bib overalls store? Besides, what is literally found in pockets, there are encoded memories that can affect choices to wear overalls or how to photograph them (Losh). According to Ann Revenaugh Hemken's thesis on the development and use of bib overalls, "[overalls] are perceived as a uniform for the working masses, especially those in agriculture. Historic photographs showed evidence that males were the primary wearers through the early 1900's" (Abstract). In the 1940s, patents and advertising messages focused on young men wanting work clothes that were "like Dad's," absent because of war (Hemken 40). Around the time child labor laws were implemented (1916), parents were guilted into buying overalls called "Brownies" to protect their children during outside playtime (Hemken 34 and 47). During the scarcity of World War II, wearing overalls was considered patriotic. Their image in magazines was used for propaganda (Honey 2 and 117). Normal Rockwell's cover on the Saturday Evening Post showed Rosie the Riveter in bibs and safety googles, with Hitler's autobiography, Mein Kampf, firmly underfoot. While working class women donned overalls to weld and drive trucks, to support country and family, many stopped wearing the workclothes once the war was over, eager for new wardrobe choices.
How do overalls disseminate information? Through being worn, they distribute messages about culture, personal preferences, and identity. In the recession of the early 1990s, Rap culture re-appropriated work clothing and made it hip hop. Their Dickies overalls, Timberland work boots, and bandannas became part of "the gangsta rap style of West Coast rappers" (Blanco 4-155). Urban and "hyper-masculine," the oversized clothing may have been a choice to dominate in videos. Their bibs became message boards for graffiti. According to Scott L. Ruff who writes for MIT's academic journal Thresholds, "skin and by extension clothing has been a mark of oppression and a site of resistance" (74).
Through the years, seemingly during times of recession, overalls become practical, popular, tribal. They have been worn by Fly Girls and female celebrities for their roominess and comfort. Unfortunately, their image in film and TV is increasingly used globally to stereotype the rural South (e.g., Deliverance, Two Thousand Maniacs) (DeKeseredy, Muzzatti and. Donnermeyer 182), as urban city goers fear the unknown of being part of a tribe that works the land.

Richard's thoughts – Retail Design Expo 'Retail Reset: The 17/18 Trendscape'
Retail, as we all know, is a landscape experiencing vast, exhilarating and often overwhelming levels of flux. This year's Retail Design expo gave us a great opportunity to get some deeper insights into the different consumer mindsets and what we as a business should be thinking about on future projects.
A real highlight for me was the keynote talk by Katie Baron, Head of Retail at Stylus. Stylus is an innovation research and trends membership service that helps businesses process global consumer lifestyle, consumer product and consumer engagement insights, stimulating innovation and growth.
Baron's talk 'Retail Reset: The 17/18 Trendscape' delved into the retail strategies that are required to respond to the four need-to-know emerging consumer mindsets. These included:
Transformation/Acceleration Economy – Where brands are now delivering more than just products but facilitating the consumers need for self improvement, for example Adidas's Game plan A offers 'Skill Drills' and features article like 'Create your own Luck: How an intern became a VP' .
The Unifying Theatre of Speed – deals with our need for speed, an expectation driven by online and next day delivery and how retailers can make this part of the in-store experience. We loved how Yun Eyewear approached this by offering customized prescription glasses in 20 minutes, using clever store design and a well thought out consumer journey to help create theatre.
Trans Brands & Crossover Commerce spoke of brands joining together to create a cross pollination of ideas. This section looked at how brands are becoming fully omni-channel and giving consumers even more options to connect with a brands values, lifestyle and aesthetic but of course always giving the option to purchase.
American clothes brand 'Marine Layer' now has its own Marine Layer endorsed Airbnb rooms, conveniently situated next to their retail stores, to quote them ' imagine sleeping in a Marine Layer store, except with a bed and shower, and without clothes to purchase (although you'll receive a sweet discount next door during your stay)'
Fantasy, Risk & Exploration Catering to a Chameleonic Culture explores the consumers need for new and the options for spontaneity, Marni's Milan Design Week installation titled 'Playland'. Consisting of several different, sand-covered areas, separated only by the color of each section's floor coat. Marni's modern, high-fashion playground rendition sees the brand offering its distinct take on traditional playground equipment, as it encourages onlookers to create their own, elaborate fantasies as they visually interact with the installation. Alongside such equipment, the Marni Playland is said to contain certain interactive elements, such as purpose-made picnic blankets offered to those who wish to settle down on the sand in and around a selection of specially crafted label furniture.
Baron's summary and advice 'aid self acceleration, make on demand memorable, embrace overlaps and brand disloyalty, fuel fantasy and create for update'.
At TRC we'll be looking closely at how we can apply some of this thinking to our own projects over the coming year.

Johannesburg - Mourners from the different political parties have descended on Orlando Stadium to bid a final farewell to struggle icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
Madikizela-Mandela's funeral is expected to draw dignitaries and ambassadors from all over the world.
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and ANC supporters could be seen clad in their party regalia, singing and paying tribute to the late struggle stalwart.
Among those paying their last respects was EFF member Tshegofatso Moshoa, who said he had braved the cold weather to salute Madikizela-Mandela.
"We want unity today. She was not only an ANC member but the Mother of the Nation.

We are here to say goodbye to our mother; we don't want any problems, we are here to salute our mother."
Moshoa added that the day was all about unity and added that, as a party, they'd ensure things ran smoothly.
His words were echoed by ANC members, who praised the stalwart for uniting South Africans even in death.

Hello there, and happy Monday to you all! How many of you stayed home and called in for "Super Sick Monday"? Hahaha. The Super Bowl yesterday was quite the game, I must say!
Here's a look at what I wore to work today. Once again, I had to stay indoors to take my pictures. Not because of the wind, or the rain, but the ice. The top floor of the parking garage was a solid sheet of ice this morning. I am certainly not doing any sort of running or jumping on that. NO. SIR.
Have a great day!
What am I wearing today?
– Gap sunglasses
– Calvin Klein sweater
– Eddie Bauer shirt
– Timex watch
– Perruzo jeans
– Polo Ralph Lauren shoes

Amphora, which was set up in London in 2009 builds, manages and stores bespoke fine wine portfolios for collectors, investors and wine enthusiasts.
What is fine wine? Fine wines are defined as those which improve in the bottle with age. The most desirable and expensive of these are produced in extremely limited quantities and get rarer over time. Each bottle of Chateau Latour 2005 for instance, once opened and drunk can obviously never be replaced. Diminishing supply is what makes Fine Wine Investment unique! Fine wine take ten years or more even to reach their drinkable window. They then get better and better for decades, all the time becoming more and more desirable!
David Jackson, the brainchild behind Amphora, identified an unprecedented opportunity for wine investors in late 2008 following this credit-crunch driven market correction.
Amphora has been operating in India since 2014. The heady combination of double-digit returns from a physical, tangible asset coupled with the safe and discreet nature of wine investment evidently made Amphora's proposition very attractive to Indian investors. India is about to overtake China as Amphora's biggest market outside the UK.
"For me, India is far more than simply commercial success. These last four years have been a total joy and an incredible adventure. My clients in India have all, without exception; become personal friends, and I have had the privilege of exploring the far corners of this fascinating country. It is for these reasons that I have clocked up more than 30 Indian stamps in my passport in the last 4 years!
I have known Cecilia professionally for a couple of years now, and am thrilled to bits that one of the best known and most respected wine people in India has agreed to join our team. Having Cecilia "on the ground" is a very demonstrative statement of Amphora's commitment to its India business and clients" says, David Jackson, CEO Amphora Portfolio Management.
"India is learning fast when in comes to wines, but not many people know what a great investment commodity this liquid luxury can be too.
One of my aims is to educate Indians and wine enthusiasts that wine is not restricted to just the drinking element. Wine investors are the key to ensuring a balanced supply of mature wine to the secondary market, and Amphora helps them make the right choices. As wine is consumed, the supply effectively decreases. The imbalance between demand and supply is the main driver of prices. Wine is unique in that the producers cannot increase supply to meet the burgeoning demand from countries like India. It is relatively straightforward for makers of other luxury goods - watches, handbags, even cars – to increase production, but you cannot reproduce a vintage wine!
I look forward to raising a glass with our existing and future fine wine investors here in India!" says, Cecilia Oldne, Amphora's India partner and Ambassador.
The demand for fine wine is growing at a frantic rate in Asia, from China to India. The older generation in India favoured beer and whisky, but the younger generation is becoming more and more knowledgeable about wine – it is nothing short of a cultural revolution. The import duty however on fine wine in India is very high and at 160% - not in favor of the fine wine connoisseurs and collectors. Amphora, however, stores its clients wines in London. Storage is critical when it comes to fine wines. Even the best investment-grade wines lose their value if not stored properly.
Amphora helps investors make smart decisions by applying quantitative analysis techniques taken from the financial markets. Their head of research, Philip Staveley, was Head of Global Emerging Markets for Deutsche Bank and Merrill Lynch, and today writes a weekly wine investment feature in The Drinks Business magazine.
Once an investor puts their money on a portfolio of wine, it is bought on their behalf, registered in their name, and stored in an insured and climate-controlled London warehouse, regulated by HMRC. The Amphora team also arranges the sales of the wines for a profit on behalf of its clients.
Amphora estimate the global size of the fine wine market to be approximately 4.5 billion pounds, and long term returns on the benchmark index - the Liv-ex 100 Fine Wine Index, which tracks the value of the 100 most regularly traded investment grade wines – is just under 11%. Amphora's aim is to generate returns in excess of 15% by way of fully managed portfolios, thereby doubling invested funds in 5 years. The Liv-ex 100 Index is quoted on Thomson-Reuters and Bloomberg. Fine Wine continues to be one of the most secure global investments.
Amphora Portfolio Management
Amphora builds, manage and stores bespoke fine wine portfolios for collectors, investors and enthusiasts. No jargon, no nonsense – just jolly good advice from a professional team sporting an enviable wealth of knowledge, talent and experience drawn from the financial markets.
Amphora are award winning fine wine specialists and the friendly face of wine investment. An advisory firm that mix business and pleasure!

About BIE
BIE Mission Statement
The British Institute of Embalmers (BIE) was founded in 1927 by a group of 15 funeral directors who recognized the need for a separate organization for the professional embalmer.
The 'Memorandum of Association' lists 19 objectives for which the Institute was established. Many of these are legal statements concerning the activities in which the Institute may be concerned and, whilst vital for the correct functioning of the Institute, are not directly concerned with embalming itself. Those, which give the clue to the purpose of the Institute, are as follows:
(a) To support and protect the status, character and interests of persons professing or
practicing the art or science of embalming the dead.
(b) To promote the efficient tuition of persons seeking to study and practice the said art or
(c) To encourage, by providing lectures and tuition and by testing by examination or
otherwise, and by awarding certificates, prizes and distinctions, and by instituting and
establishing grants, rewards and other benefactions, the study and practice of improved
(i) For preserving and disinfecting bodies of the dead;
(ii) For preventing or lessening the danger of such bodies propagating disease;
(iii) Of branches of knowledge having relation to the treatment, sanitation and disposal of
such bodies.
(d) To consider all questions affecting the interests of persons engaged in embalming,
sanitation, and disposal of the bodies of the dead, and to initiate and watch over, and, if
thought desirable, to petition Parliament, or promote deputation's in relation to
any public measure affecting any matters aforesaid, and to promote improvements in the
principles and administration of the law relating to the treatment and disposal of the
bodies of the dead."
The Code of Ethics
I believe the practice of embalming is in the interest of public health and promise to promote Embalming to the best of my ability.
I will treat with respect each dead human body.
I pledge a complete confidential relationship to those I am called upon to serve.
I will endeavor to promote scientific research in the problems affecting embalming.
I undertake to abide by the regulations of The British Institute of Embalmers, and to support, to the best of my ability, any meetings or gatherings arranged by them.

3. Olivier Giroud
The inclusion of Olivier Giroud may have thrown you off a little and rightly so. The French striker has certainly been dipping his toes into the faith side of things recently and is asking questions about what is means to be a Christian. Whether or not he is quite there yet, is between Olivier and God, but there has been some promising signs that Giroud is understanding more about who God is and what Jesus has done for him, for you and for me.
When Arsenal won the F.A. Cup at the end of the 2016/2017 season, the French striker was pictured, lifting off his Gunners jersey to reveal a shirt with the words, "I am the way the truth and the life – Jesus"
The French striker will be looking to push Les Bleus to the next level after they lost out in the final of Euro 2016 to Portugal just 2 years back. Can Giroud help France go one step further and lift the World Cup once again?

Many less fortunate children in Uganda-Africa have been separated from their parents and relatives by unavoidable situations like death and wars and others are just abandoned by their parents because they seem to have no future.
Vangrace Compassion Ministries since 2003 decided to take of such children and cater for them. These children need a decent home in which they can live in. A home that will not remind them of their past but a home that will raise and mould them in the fear of our Lord Jesus. In this, you can contribute any amount to build up our orphanage that will raise a unify generation in Christ which will transform lives of many people in Africa.
We not only house them but we also educate them as many millions of children live in desperately poor communities where schools have been destroyed by war, disaster, or decay. In some cases, affordable schools are simply too far away. Vangrace Compassion Ministries has a plan of constructing a standard school that will enable thousands of children to pursue their dreams of a better life.
Our mission is to give children a hopeful future. That begins with having a good start in life, with a roof, warm bed, Education, food and safe drinking water.

DITT Construction Ltd have successfully achieved certification under ISO 9001:2008 confirming the company's progress in achieving standards of quality that are recognised and respected throughout the industry.
Certification has been achieved after a rigorous two stage external audit carried out by the accreditation agency SGS United Kingdom Ltd.
ISO 9001 is an internationally recognised standard developed to set the benchmark for a Business Management System, consisting of a series of procedures that cover all the key processes in a business together with effective monitoring of these, and a method of facilitating continual improvement.
DITT have been working towards certification for the past 12 months. The process included the involvement of a student under the Shell Step Placement Scheme last summer, before employing a Business Systems Manager to take the project forward towards successful certification.
DITT is one of only a few construction companies or builders merchants in the North of Scotland to achieve this recognition.

Are you a content curmudgeon?
A simple test
If you don't know if you're a content curmudgeon, or have no idea what we're talking about, here's a simple test.
Do you daydream (at least ten times a day) of quietly disconnecting your Facebook account and watching it sink, waving its arms in panic, to the bottom of some dark lake where it will slowly be picked clean by catfish as it dies a wretched death, mutely sucking in precious oxygen from mud bubbles like some sort of primitive marine creature previously unknown to man? Does your drowning account have the face and arms of Mark Zuckerberg?
Do you every wonder what the writer of the latest "surprisingly easy" 10-step guide looks like and where on his face or forehead your fist would best fit?
Do you ever have the feeling, like me, that all those people that used to sign up for jobs offering "big bucks" and "career advancement" for stuffing envelopes from the comfort of their kitchen tables have migrated en masse into content creation? And that there are thousands of new recruits daily—all with PhDs—now working out of the comfort of a Starbucks or a park bench or the beach? And that they will continue to spawn like soap bubbles, creating many future iterations of themselves and their content until it all merges—man and content—into a gibbering fever dream that is the exact opposite of what Morpheus was promising in The Matrix?
Have you ever said to yourself, "I would rather spend a weekend driving ATVs with Justin Bieber than finish reading this article?"
If you answered "OMG, yes!" to any of these questions, maybe you're a content curmudgeon too.
If you're still in doubt, here's a list of five things that will make any bona fide content curmudgeon feel like they've experienced the literary equivalent of a night in one of Liberace's bathrobes.
5 signs you're a content curmudgeon
You bristle when you find a sentence that starts with, "Point is", as in:
"Point is, curating content can help you build a massive following of people ready to buy your product."
You don't want to be talked at like the elderly victim of an insurance scam whenenever there's a statistic involved.
"So if 82% of marketers are curating content the right way, then why do only 41% say it works? Simple. Because they're publishing aggregated content."
And then be talked at by GIFs.
"I'll let these two GIFs do the talking for me."
You're looking over your shoulder for a talking monkey you can shoot every time you read the words "crazy" or "badass" instead of "very" in marketing content specially designed to mobilize your potential.
"That means I'm not going to list out every tool under the sun, because that's just crazy confusing (you'll see why). And I'm not going to speak in hypotheticals that don't give a clear objective."
"Time to curate some badass content. Ready?"
The phrase "great content creator" only makes you think of Gerry Melba, the little boy in fourth grade that won prizes for sucking milk up his nose and then spitting it back out his mouth.
"Every great content curator follows three steps to curate the best content in the land."
The sad truth
All five of these examples come from the first few paragraphs of one Buzz Sumo article that we have found to be the content marketing equivalent of Zay Tonday's Chocolate Rain. How far can you get before the cringe factor sets in and forces you to look the other way?
Let us know in the comments section.
Next week, stay tuned for the antidote to cringeworthy copy.

The move to utility computing may be hedged around with discussions about outsourcing, and hardware platforms, but actually it is much simpler than that, according to Marc Andreessen, chairman of Opsware. In fact, it is just one more aspect of a long march from client-server computing to web-based systems, a march that will rewrite the business models of server and system management companies.
It's not surprising to hear the erstwhile uber-browser maker still puts the Web front and centre. But with his new project, DCML, an effort to create a standard for data centre integration, he has something that should finally stop journalists asking about his days in the browser wars between Netscape and Microsoft six years ago.
For one of the industry's fastest achievers, he takes a surprisingly long view of the changing tech landscape. "The biggest thing in the industry is the transition from client-server to the Web," he says, a cycle he expects to take twenty-five years and is only reaching critical mass now.
We might get depressed about the decline in technology spending, he says, but web applications are being developed,and the majority of the investment is being lost from the old guard. "Client server companies like Sun and Oracle are doing poorly, " he says. "The big Unix businesses are in decline and the next five years will see a huge move to Intel and Linux."
If anything the poor financial climate is forcing the issue of utility computing that DCML addresses, he says: "You have 5000 to 20,000 servers running thousands of applications. It is critical for the business and you have to run the system without 2000 people."
The Opsware story
Opsware is the new name for Loudcloud, the Web-based outsourcing company that Andreessen founded in 1999, some time after AOL bought his first company, Netscape. Loudcloud was one of a large number of application service provider (ASP) start-ups that came and went in the late 1990s, when that business model was hyped and found wanting.
By 2002, it became obvious that Loudcloud could not make a sensible living out of that business. Despite the short-term hype around ASPs, Andreessen now sees them as part of a long-term move towards outsourcing. However, it is a move that only very large companies can profit by.
"Outsourcing is a game for big companies," he says. "Firms decide on their partner based on the balance sheet not the technology." An outsourcing partner should be someone who will still be there in ten years, other considerations are secondary, he says.
Despite the fact that Loudcloud could not survive as an ASP, the company had built some good automation software to support its data-centres. In 2001, the company hived off its existing customers and infrastructure to outsourcing giant EDS, renamed itself Opsware and re-focussed on reselling the automation technology.
"Loudcloud had 2000 servers on three continents," he says. "Our technology can automate and support systems from IBM, HP, Sun and others. That is how we get traction." Outsourcers need multi-vendor utility computing schemes, instead of the single-vendor approaches of Sun and IBM. Customers include EDS, naturally, but also HP's services arm and NEC in Japan.
"When a company outsources, the outsourcer gets 3000 servers and 3000 people," says Andreessen. "In order to make a profit they must automate and use fewer than 3000 people, or move the work offshore." Automation is a big enabler for the offshore stage of outsourcing, says Andreessen: "EDS is moving to Opsware as part of an offshore push. EDS is moving systems to India or Latin America but they are automated and deployed with Opsware first."
Automation is also important to the IT manager who wants to avoid being outsourced, he says: "Ninety-seven percent of IT is still in-house." Most companies have a hybrid approach, and efficiency is needed in-house as well.
DCML – rewriting the data centre
Opsware has got backing from EDS, and more than twenty other companies, to publish the Data Center Markup Language, an XML-based data format that defines servers and applications and other objects in a data-centre.
"Any component should be able to describe itself in DCML," says Andreessen, a neat summation of an idea which should, if it works, remove much of the labour in current systems administration and management.
While DCML is clearly based on Opsware's own work, and EDS' backing is important, the other headline sponsor is a big surprise. Computer Associates, like its rivals IBM's Tivoli and HP's OpenView division, has a lot invested in the old labour-intensive way of building and managing data centres. "It is impressive that CA wants to change the way things work," says Andreessen. "Tivoli would prefer that this not happen."
Other significant supporters include the testing company, Mercury Interactive, monitoring companies NetIQ and Micromuse, the middleware companies Tibco and BEA, and utility computing company Ejasent, regarded as an Opsware rival.
Apart from EDS and CA, the big players aren't there yet, but that doesn't bother Andreessen, as he believes they will be forced in later. "Big companies adopt standards late," he says, pointing out that IBM and Sun would prefer that customers buy everything from one place. "People will say 'No way!' to them." Although HP is not part of the DCML group, it will be getting DCML from Opsware and BEA, he says.
Microsoft is a special case he says, since its desire to gain presence in the data centre (as well as its commitment to different models of building data centres) will overcome its reluctance to countenance a multi-vendor approach that embraces Linux. "DCML is a superset of Microsoft's SDM [the utility-like solution Microsoft launched earlier this year]. Microsoft people would prefer the data centre to be all Windows, but failing that, this is the kind of thing they will adopt, like they adopted TCP/IP and HTML." Ironically enough, much of those HTML developments came from Netscape, once Andreessen's home and Microsoft's arch-rival.
The time-table is urgent, but not hasty. A draft specification exists but will not be published until early 2004, after agreement by DCML members. "It's being driven by [one time Netscape employee] Tim Howes, who drove the LDAP directory standard," says Andreessen. As with classic Internet standards, the draft will be accompanied by a working, open-source reference implementation available for download. Using DCML, a server can be described exactly and cloned (which could have a direct use in disaster recovery). The description includes best practices in handling the server, and management and performance information.
"DCML will be in products in early 2004," says Andreessen, meaning that Opsware will comply with it. He expects ten to fifteen companies to ship products during 2004. "Companies will support DCML in different ways – for instance, BEA will configure servers by feeding them a DCML description, while Micromuse could use DCML to get a description of what is there to be monitored."
Like Netscape's HTML work, DCML is being put to the market before the standards bodies, but Andreessen plans to offer it to a standards body (most likely the Oasis group) during 2004. Although he wants to get it into a formal standards process, Andreessen has no illusions. "The problem with the standards process is big companies have full-time standards people," he says. "The people you want on a standard are the people who make things work."
DCML adopts the oft-quoted slogan of the Internet standards body, the IETF: "We reject kings, presidents and voting. We believe in rough consensus and running code."
"HTML has never been formally ratified, you know," he says, quietly. "It's a draft standard and keeps moving." (Have a look at the World Wide Web Consortium's HTML page and, surprisingly enough, the inventor of Mosaic and Netscape is right. HTML and XHTML are a series of "recommendations" based on "consensus").
A persuasive case
Overall, Andreessen's case is persuasive. Riding the waves of outsourcing, automation, web-enabling and cost-cutting must be a good move at this stage. One drawback could be the simplicity of the standard – sample DCML code, like other XML formats, is so "readable" it is hard to believe it is significant.
This time next year, DCML could be starting to make data centres more manageable.

How many would drop out if they had to pay a Medicaid premium?
Staff writer
Asked if she could afford $30 a month to keep her three children current on the state's insurance for low-income Floridians, Andrea Powers said she was uncertain.
"Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't," said the Gainesville stay-at-home mom.
An academic exercise from Georgetown University that was released last month suggests that many parents such as Powers can't afford such a payment.
The Jessie Ball DuPont Fund commissioned a study that GU's Health Policy Institute authored. The study found that the $10-per-patient premium that the Florida Legislature put into the Medicaid reform measure last year likely would result in more than 800,000 children — nearly half of the state's current caseload of children — dropped from the Medicaid rolls.
Florida's premium would be the most far-reaching to date because of the charge to everyone regardless of income or age, the report says.
The premiums are part of a larger Medicaid reform proposal the Legislature passed and that Gov. Rick Scott signed last year. It aims chiefly to move the state's nearly 3 million Medicaid recipients into managed care plans run by private companies. The state would pay the private companies a set amount per patient to manage each person's care.
The federal government has to approve the changes -— including the premium requirement — and that decision is pending. Federal officials said they don't have a timeline for approval.
State Rep. Keith Perry, R-Gainesville, said he voted for last year's reform package that included the premiums. He has also proposed another set of reforms for this session that would put Medicaid beneficiaries into more traditional, private plans.
But he's torn on whether they should pay premiums.
"There should be some level of support" from Medicaid recipients, he said, also adding that he wouldn't want to see truly disadvantaged Floridians dropped from Medicaid because they couldn't pay.
The governor's press office laid out a similar position.
"I can tell you he wants to preserve our safety nets for our children and the most vulnerable among us," said Lane Wright, Scott's spokesman.
Wright declined to address whether premiums should be paid for each Medicaid patient — saying he hadn't had the time to look into the question.
"Governor Scott hasn't had a chance to see the study you mentioned and evaluate its claims, so we can't respond specifically to that," he said.
But Wright also said reform is necessary to keep Medicaid's growth in check.
"This spending could overrun our budget," he said.
As the economy has worsened, the number of Medicaid enrollees has grown in recent years as has Medicaid spending.
Between 2006-07 and the current fiscal year, spending on health care for the state's poorest residents — including those in nursing homes — has increased more than 40 percent to $20.3 billion, the study found.
Meanwhile, the Medicaid caseload that the state Department of Children and Families reported for the district including Marion County in November shows a 67 percent increase since 2006. In the district that includes Alachua County, the number of Medicaid enrollees increased 32 percent to 49,254 residents in November.
To qualify for Medicaid, recipients must earn no more than set income levels, which in some cases are well below the federal poverty level.
Figuring how many Florida children would be dropped from Medicaid was done using the historic experience of other states that had instituted similar requirements with other state-sponsored health insurance, said a spokeswoman for the Jesse DuPont Fund, a Jacksonville-based philanthropic group.
"They used a mathematical formula based on what we've seen happen in other places," said Mary Littlepage, fund spokeswoman.
Bruce Rueben, president of the Florida Hospital Association, said he's not sure how the state would even begin to collect such a premium.
"I don't know that they can kick you out of Medicaid based on any other criteria than income," he said. "I don't know how they can make that stick."
Over at the pediatric clinic of the Alachua County Health Department, nurse practitioner Nancy Day said she couldn't imagine some of the families she sees regularly coming up with the premium payments.
"They don't have $3 to get a bus," she said. "It's going to be hard on families."

Jalen Milton says he's always seen himself as a witty and chill individual, but over the course of his four years at BL, other students and faculty have seen him grow into a leader who isn't afraid to voice his opinion and cares for what everyone has to say.
Milton started at BL his freshman year in 2013, and he was searching for a place to be himself and make a contribution to his community. The Diversity Club proved to be the best fit to express his thoughts and opinions on serious issues that affect national communities. Milton knew he wanted to bring his own unique style to the Diversity Club with his one-and-only sense of humor and also the ability to return to a serious state of mind to stay on track.
Ms. Kristen Tubman, the faculty representative for the Boys' Latin Diversity Club, saw this from Milton and learned from him how to view situations from a different point of view. "I've learned that we don't always need to take things seriously, that sometimes we can see the humorous side of things," Ms. Tubman said, "but that we have to know when to make that switch."
Students also noticed Milton's impact in the club and have learned when to take a break to have some fun.
"He's always there, he always has something witty to say and something that always throws us off guard because we don't always think in that direction…he always has a nice time, and makes sure everyone else is having a nice time," said Trey-Lonte Gaither, a major contributor and leader of the Diversity Club.
Milton may seem like the quiet guy in school, but he is never afraid to show who he truly is. He leaves an enjoyable and everlasting atmosphere with every serious conversation within the Diversity Club. His energy allows everyone to loosen up and be themselves while also addressing serious issues when there needs to be a conversation among the club.
This energy and character have certainly rubbed off on some of the other student members part of the club.
"He's probably the nicest kid I've met here at BL. He's such a respectable guy, and I never hear him talk bad about anyone. He always respects your opinion and will share his opinion with you without being scared. So he's a pretty comfortable guy to be around," stated by Matt Luterman, another key member of the Diversity Club.
Milton's ability to bring a comfortable atmosphere shows that he doesn't mind the awkward conversations that some people may not consider having.
The sense of comfortability also plays a big part in being a leader. Milton isn't afraid to be himself around other people, and that's always a trait looked for in leaders. Gaither and Luterman both see Milton as a leader by example and someone for everyone to model themselves after.
"He brings a lot of leadership roles to facilitate his own group and loves to be involved as much as he can. He's shown that with his work that he's preparing for the University of Baltimore Leadership Conference," Gaither explained.
"He gives a good example, and he's quiet until his opinion is needed and doesn't hold it back," said Ms. Tubman.
Milton has certainly left his mark on the Diversity Club as a leader no one expected. His quiet but informative personality puts in him in the exclusive category of talks least, says most.
Milton says he can't wait to showcase himself at the Leadership Conference on November 12th where he will be presenting his "Break the Silence, Speak Up" workshop. Jalen also looks to continue to work with the Diversity Club/Organizations to whichever college he goes to in the upcoming year.

Blur - Charmless Man
Big Brother and the Holding Company - Cheap Thrills
Blur - Chemical World
Spacehog - The Chinese Album
The Dukes of Stratosphear - Chips From the Chocolate Fireball
Paul McCartney - Choba B CCCP
R.E.M. - Chronic Town
Frank Zappa - Chunga's Revenge
The Who - Civic Arena, Long Beach, CA 12/10/71
The Rolling Stones - Civic Center, Pittsburgh, PA 7/22/72
Cream - Civic Auditorium, San Jose, CA 5/25/68
Two Blur singles kick things off, and while Charmless Man has decent B-sides, Chemical World has some B-sides that are excellent and arguably as strong as album tracks of the era (most notably Young & Lovely, My Ark, and Es Schmect). The first great Janis Joplin album, with Big Brother and the Holding Company, is a (mostly) live album mixed to sound almost like a studio record, and is a perfect slice of 1967/68 San Francisco hard rock, and includes the classic "Piece of My Heart" and "Ball and Chain" among other gems. Spacehog's second album is a much more experimental and subdued affair than their debut but is an overlooked album that has some excellent cuts, especially "Carry On," "2nd Avenue," and "Mungo City." The Dukes were XTC's alter-ego and their homage to 1960s psychedelia, and is so good that sometimes you have to remind yourself that you're listening to music made in the mid-1980s and not the mid-1960s! Paul's first album of covers was initially a USSR-only release (hence the title, which translates to "Back in the USSR," of course) and a way to revitalize his flagging spirits in the wake of two lackluster albums in the 1980s ("Give My Regards to Broad Street" and "Press to Play"). It's quite good and would pave the way for his comeback with 1989's "Flowers In the Dirt." R.E.M.'s debut EP is pure power-pop perfection and still sounds as fresh and exciting as it did in 1982. Zappa's 1970 album is the first in his string of classic albums where he perfectly blended his experimental, social comment, and hard rock threads into more accessible music. It's worth the price of admission alone for the guitar solo on Transylvania Boogie and the beauty of the closing Sharleena. This batch of albums closes with a trio of shows from Civic-named arenas: a legendary Who gig from their incredible 1971 US tour (this is one of the best gigs on the whole tour), a great Stones gig from their legendary and over-the-top 1972 US tour, and a great show from Cream's penultimate tour of the US in 1968.

Nvidia happens to be one of the largest names with in the world of GPUs, and they have released what is known for being one of the most advanced Geforce cards, the Nvidia Geforce GTX 970. Apparently, this card was actually designed with the intention of being used by only serious gamers in order to do some serious gaming. Also, the architecture of this card is Nvidia's Maxwell.
Want to know some of the key features that go with this card? Some of them include the 1.50 MHz core clock and the 1,753 MHz 4GB GDDR5 memory. This card comes with over 5 billion transistors and also comes with 1,664 stream processors. The card requires two 6 pin power connectors.
This model by Nvidia happens to be right at the middle when it comes to the models that have recently been released by Nvidia, even though it does sport some fresh hardware. This card comes with the GM204 core which is made use of along with the GTX 980, even though it comes with 2,048 stream processors and it has a higher clock base that is at 1,126MHz.
The architecture behind this card actually makes it so that the card is able to handle power greatly, however, the main strength with this card lies with how efficient it is. Nvidia did a lot in order to re-configure the stream processors of this card. What does this mean? It happens to mean that there are more jobs that will be able to get delegated if there is increased precision. This will make it so that there is less power used and less heat that is being generated.
This card seems to be going into a big war though. It comes with a complete throughput of 3.49 TFLOPS, and this is actually very good. However, many users have already pointed out that the Radeon R9 290 that came from AMD comes at a price tag that much lower and it has a throughput that is 4.84 TFLOPS.
GPU Features for Ethereum mining
Basic specs:
Hash Rate : 15.9 MH/s
Modded specs:
Power: 125 W
Hash Rate: 22.9 MH/s
Ref: Reddit.com
Pros and Cons
The Nvidia GTX 970 is considered to be one of the best Nvidia GPUs that are focused on gaming. Of course, this card also has been noticed a lot for its great amounts of efficiency, which is just another of its great pros. Although, many users are quite unsure how to handle the fact that this card costs more than that of the superior Radeon R9 290. Also, it has been noticed by many users that this card is not too good when it comes to smoothly playing the 4K games. Another of the cons would be that it would take around 634 days just to see some profit coming off of this card with the amount that it costs and the amount that can be made using it.
Final Thoughts on The NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 970
The Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 is good, but it seems to be just too much price for the amount of time that it would take to profit using it. All in all, it would probably be better to get one of the many other GPUs out there that are better for mining Ethereum.

NAUP WAUP at OTR from Trevor Flinn on Vimeo.
The first weekend in April saw the long awaited opening of Naup Waup's first exhibition at Off the Rails Gallery; the culmination of 12 years of research work with a remote tribal community called Pariet Amam.
"My art is a personal reflection of a journey defining myself, who I am as a male, a black indigenous tribal person from the remote Amam tribe of Papua New Ginea. I intend to make my art be a tool and venue for creating discorse and sharing of ideas and creating bridges between the oral world to the digital and the printed society.Creating paintings and drawing images is a way of sharing my soul searching story and knowledge in defining my place, history and my rich cultural heritage." Naup Waup, April 2010.
Naup's ongoing research project is called "Pariet Project"; a social-cultural mapping and community empowering Project initiated with the intention to empower remote and marginalised tribal communities.
Visitors to the exhibition had the opportunity to hear Naup speak about both his art practice and his ongoing project work. Naup was accompanied by his wife and three children, during his stay in Dunkeld, who all assisted with making the show a great success.
