SPOKANE, Wash. – After picking up a pair of wins on senior weekend, the Whitworth Pirates close out their season on the road this weekend against George Fox and Lewis & Clark.
Whitworth opens its weekend against George Fox on Saturday, Nov. 3 and closes the season the following day against Lewis & Clark. Both matches begin at 12:00 p.m.
Video and live statistics links will be available on the Whitworth women's soccer schedule.
The Pirates: Whitworth (11-4-3, 9-3-2 NWC) celebrated its senior weekend with 2-0 wins over Willamette and Linfield. The Pirates opened the weekend by taking down the Bearcats to move up to third in the Northwest Conference. Arielle Van Peursem opened the scoring by knocking in a low goal off a header from Brixiada Mendoza, and Coby Yoshimura secured the win by floating the Bucs' second goal well over the head of the goalkeeper. On the other end of the field, Molly Webster made six saves to earn a shutout
Yoshimura and Van Peursem struck again against Linfield, but in reverse order. Yoshimura kicked off the scoring with a header that trickled through the defense and into the net before Van Peursem rocketed a goal in from a difficult angle. Webster held the Wildcats scoreless to give the Bucs a win on senior day.
Magnificent Molly: Since she transferred to Whitworth Molly Webster has been one of the best goalkeepers in the Northwest Conference. The senior is third in the NWC in saves (73) and save percentage (.830) and sits in fifth in goals against average (0.85).
Clutch Coby: Senior forward Coby Yoshimura has been nothing but clutch for the Pirates. Yoshimura is tied for first in the Northwest Conference with four match-winning goals this season. The senior scored go-ahead goals against Carroll (Mont.) and Whitman and both matches against Linfield.
Working Overtime: The Pirates put in plenty of extra work early in their season. Four of Whitworth's first six matches needed overtime, and the Bucs went 2-0-2 in those contests. Whitworth remains undefeated (2-0-3) in overtime after its tie with Lewis & Clark last time the two teams played.
Home Sweet Home: During third-year head coach Bryan Olson's tenure at Whitworth, the Pirates are 20-4-2 playing on the Whitworth Soccer Field. After their wins last weekend, the Bucs are 5-2-1 at home in 2018 after a combined record of 15-2-1 the two years prior.
The Bruins: George Fox (5-9-2, 3-9-2 NWC) enters the weekend having won two of its last three matches, owning wins over Lewis & Clark and Willamette during that stretch. Last week, the Bruins defeated the Pios and fell to NWC-leading Puget Sound, both with a 2-0 score line. Their wins last weekend put the Bruins just two points out of sixth place in the NWC, which is currently held by Whitman. Savannah Moisan powers the George Fox offense with a team-leading five goals and Annalisa Klein defends the net with a 1.25 goals against average. A trio of freshman led Whitworth to a 2-1 win over George Fox last time the two teams played. Brixiada Mendoza headed in a pass from Gabriella Coprivnicar and Kalyn Gill scored unassisted in the win.
The Pioneers: Lewis & Clark (3-13-2, 1-12-2 NWC) enters the weekend having lost its last six matches. The Pios struggled to score during conference play, totaling just three goals against NWC opponents. Lewis & Clark is also one of just three teams in the NWC that has allowed more than 20 goals. Anna Saucedo is the Pios' top offensive threat, having scored three goals with three assists on the year. Megan Sawyer is the Pioneer netminder and owns a .1.56 goals against average with a .763 save percentage. Sawyer held Whitworth scoreless last time the two teams played, resulting in a 0-0 tie.
The Coach: Bryan Olson was named the head coach for the Pirate women's soccer team in February of 2016 and enters his third year leading the Bucs in the fall of 2018. In his two seasons at the helm, Whitworth has a 22-16-2 overall record and a 20-10-2 mark in the Northwest Conference.
Olson was the top assistant coach for the Whitworth men's soccer team for six seasons prior to leading the women's team. His title was elevated to Associate Head Coach ahead of the 2015 season. Over that time the Pirate men's team posted a record of 66-17-12 and made the NCAA Division III Tournament three times (2012, 2014 and 2015).

KUCHING: The harvest of Sarawak's premium Bario rice, rated as the best in the region and rich in minerals and vitamins, is expected to be poor this year.
This was expressed by Rurum Kelabit Sarawak vice president Dr Roland Mattu on his return from a recent visit home in Bario.
He said this was because there is no irrigation for the padi field and farmers are relying on rain water only, but with very little rain in the last month of September.
He pointed out the problem came after an agricultural development contractor was given the contract by the government to provide for irrigation.
This resulted in the traditional farm dams being abandoned in anticipation of the new pipe irrigation under construction. Unfortunately, technical problems arose and as yet there is no irrigation which means the lack of running water and this is going to lead to a poor harvest, he lamented.
"I have been following the farming for many decades as my parent have been farmers, I have never been more concerned about a seasonal failure than this year.
"Many of the farms that have not been planted and those planted are without water and all are doomed to failure. There is urgent need for action and farmers are at a loss as where to turn. There is a chance of salvaging some of the farms but this will need immediate action to get water onto the paddy field in Paramapuh, Maraiw, Arur Laab, and Arur Dalan," he said yesterday.
He also said he has met Pemanca Philip Lakai who has highlighted the problem to the authority concerned but who also now feels helpless.
"One of the most important part of Bario Rice cultivation is to have abundant fresh water from the mountain (flow) into the bunds especially after the planting season (but) as this is not happening, the planted fields for harvest is doomed to fail.
"There is an urgent need for corrective action and on behalf of all of the farmers in Bario. As vice president of Rurum Kelabit Sarawak, I appeal to all concerned for your help," he pleaded.
On behalf of the Bario Asal farmers, he said they are all looking forward for the new irrigation and mechanised farming as the way forward but the delay is making them very anxious.
"Our ancestors have been cultivating wet padi for generations, surely some of what we have been practising is of great value rather than a revolution with modern methods.
"There should be a careful conservation of our farming methods that are good and merge with modern methods to take it to greater heights. The irrigation may take another year to complete and we cannot afford to have poor harvest two years in a row," he said.
Based on news reports, RM17 million was allocated for the Bario Rice Industry Development Project under the National Key Result Areas (NKRA) in January 2012.
Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu was quoted as saying the implementation of the project, between 2011 and 2015, involving 800 hectares of highland in the Bario area, had been offered to Syarikat Bario Ceria Sdn Bhd.

"My teaching philosophy is derived from my firm belief that true knowledge comes from understanding, not from memorization."
Jeffrey Hopper thinks it's essential that his students truly understand the business concepts he teaches. That's why he helps them find opportunities for real-world experience and internships.
"It's necessary for students to connect new concepts to a point of reference outside of the academic environment and appreciate why the information is significant," says Hopper. "A personal connection promotes learning because the information becomes relevant to their lives rather than just a concept in a textbook that may show up on an exam."
Seeing students make that connection is Hopper's most gratifying moment as a teacher. "It's what motivated me to become an educator in the first place and what continues to drive me today," he says.
As a Transylvania graduate, Hopper understands the value of a liberal arts background in the business world and graduate school. He's noticed an increasing awareness among recruiters, too.
"The ability to think, question, explore, analyze, and make connections is critical for success in business," says Hopper. "That makes the liberal arts the perfect complement to a business administration major."

Methodology and Array Technology for Finding and Describing Leaks in a Well
This paper presents a new technology and methods that can detect leak locations in a well and illustrate the flow profile of the leak. A substantial amount of time and effort can be expended in repairing leaks in wells, and these methods can reduce that time. The paper shows results and compares them to those of other techniques for a well that had been shut in as a result of a small leak.
Noise tools have been used to detect the sound of leak flow to provide an estimated description on the basis of the magnitude of the noise and the frequency properties. Typically, these tools consisted of one hydrophone or receiver that was limited to frequency and information recorded. The majority of these tools provided stationary measurements that can reduce the optimum intercept of leak or leaks. Many new calculations have been performed that have improved these results; nonetheless, they can still be hampered by physical properties of sound conveyance through layers of hardware or changes in the structure of the well.
During the last few decades, advancements in passive acoustic devices have included broadening measurements, improving quality, and increasing the observed aspects of the measurements. Meanwhile, minimal advancements have been realized in the oil industry for leak/flow detection or characterization. The oil industry needed a device that could accurately locate and characterize leaks and flow behind pipe to reduce risks and nonproductive time. To improve the multiplicity of the sound measurement originating from fluid and gas movement, an array of hydrophone sensors was researched and tested to develop new relationships and characterization possibilities. The acoustic linear array with distributed hydrophone sensors could be synchronized to obtain information emanating from a flow source and fused together to obtain new insight into leaks and flow characterization.

Tullow Oil CEO, Exploration Director Resign Amid Lower Production Outlook
The resignations come as the company makes downward revisions to its production guidance after a disappointing performance from its TEN and Jubilee fields offshore Ghana.
Report Recounts the Missed Signals Leading to a Blowout that Killed Five
Regulators say the blowout that killed five workers on a Patterson-UTI rig in Oklahoma was the product of a slow-moving series of missed signals, misleading testing, and miscalculations that failed to control a natural gas influx.
More Tweaks Than Transformation in Rewrite of Well Control Rule
The new well control rule is evidence that memories of the Macondo blowout remain a powerful force for caution. Despite the rhetoric on both sides of this hot-button issue suggesting big changes, the final changes were incremental.

Great on iPhone 8, issues dragging the map on the 11
I loved this app so much! Having lived in 2 locations that are frequented by hurricanes, Florida & Coastal North Carolina, this app is a MUST during hurricane season. I used it all the time on my iPhone 8 with no issues. But I just got the iPhone 11, and noticed one issue I never had on the iPhone 8. And seeing no other reviews describing this same issue (the iPhone 11 has only been out now for 4 days), I felt I should report it just in case others have the same issue, and so maybe a fix can occur. I have tried restarting my phone and reinstalling the app, but problem persists.
The issue happens when you try to drag the map to look at other locations. Instead of the animated map moving to reveal more of the map, it zooms in. Making it impossible to look at other locations, other than the default location. I was able to move it only a little but it was a battle getting it to respond at al and would still only do that while simultaneously zooming in.
If I am doing something wrong, please let me know! But I still say it's been the best visual weather app out there! And I hope this problem goes away soon! I will change my rating to 5 stars if I can get it to work again.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback. We know about this issue and the reason is iOS 13. Right now we are still working on this problem. Everything should be correct on iOS 13.1. Please follow up this link https://community.windy.com/topic/9672/several-issues-with-upgrade-to-ios-13/3
Thank you for your patience. Barbora
The best weather app out there
I was a huge fan of Storm from WeatherUnderground and hadn't checked out the other options recently, but when The Weather Channel killed Storm and replaced it with a mediocre weather channel version I had a look at the other options and was very happy to find Windy. It's so much much better than the others, let me count (a few of) the ways: You can pick your forecast model! And then compare the different models to see where they differ! That to me is a game changer. The timeline along the bottom is so great to see how pressure and fronts will move - I feel like I've learned a lot just by using the app. The many layer options are great - set it for what you want to see and don't be distracted by what you don't. And of course the wind animation options make for a visually appealing interface. Seeing how the different altitude winds are moving and changing is so useful and interesting. I'd gladly pay money for this app, there are just so many great things to say about it. And if all you want is a sun, a cloud, or an umbrella for where you live that's there for you too. I was bummed when Storm was killed off but am so happy to have found this great app.
Wow...Absolutely Amazing!
This app is the example by which all other statistical apps should be judged. The info is from a huge number of sources and accurate. Historical data is available for multiple forecasts and aviation wx is available as well.
I remember the disappointment many of us felt after losing the old Storm app. Well look no further because this app not only meets, but far exceeds it by light years.
I'm a person who can appreciate outstanding graphical design and messaging, whether for an app or PowerPoint slide. The individual(s) who designed this have an excellent understanding of visual messaging.
I've found a few issues for improvement: recommend making the settings icon the universal gear icon; sometimes the app displays Celsius even when Fh is selected, and to allow favoriting from within forecasts (ie selecting an airport from the map doesn't allow favoriting, it must be typed in.). Of course YMMV as I'm still learning the navigation, but this is truly an app that drives informative engagement.

The Decemberists Show
Posted by Gerald on June 7, 2009
Thursday, June 4, my friend Steve and I went to see the Decemberists in concert at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. We drove there in the leading edge of a band of thunderstorms that made the drive, uh, interesting (thank you Steve) and which had Steve's wife Mandy a bit concerned. While we saw a few fender-benders along the way – which created a couple traffic jams – we got there and back safely.
We had planned to see the band last year, but that show was cancelled. Steve had seen them before but this was my first exposure to them live. It was a good show. I think I can sum up my reaction in something I said to Steve between songs; "This show is reminding me of everything I like about hearing live music and everything I hate about hearing live music."
The last concert I saw was something like 12 or 13 years ago. I saw REM at Iowa State University, I think touring behind the "Monster" album if I'm remembering right. It was a good show, but my real memory is that I got back at 3 am to find a phone message waiting for me from a friend who also shared my adviser at Iowa (this friend was also named Steve, coincidentally). Steve told me to call him back "as soon as I got in" – but given that it was 3 am and that he had two kids I waited until morning. That was when I first learned that my adviser was going to have a sex-change operation. The events of that day rather overshadowed the evening before.
In any case, I just hadn't had occasion to see a live concert since then. I'm now 45 and I have to say that was on my mind. While I am unapologetic about liking what I like, I also don't want to be that pathetic old guy trying to fit in with the kids. Upon arriving though, I found that the crowd varied in age as much as the crowd I had been in at my only Rolling Stones concert. Most of the audience were college-aged, which I expected, but there were also parents with kids and there were people – without kids – as old or older than me. Sitting right in front of us were three kids who were barely out of high school if they were out at all. This really surprised me – the younger people I mean. I know what I appreciate about the Decemberists' music and it includes things live subtlties in the lyrics and references to the past and to everything from Celtic mythology to Shakespeare. I was left wondering if they were hearing those same things or if something else brought them to this band.
The opening band was Blind Pilot. Steve and I were both unfamiliar with them. I liked their music well enough, but I'd need to listen to it a bit more to determine if I'm really a fan. I might go looking the next time I'm buying music. Still, they performed well and were engaging on-stage.
The Decemberists' show was divided into two halves.
First they performed their latest album "The Hazards of Love" straight through. For those readers who haven't heard it, this album is a sort of "rock opera" (that is recorded – and was played live – without any breaks between songs). It draws heavily on themes from British folk tales and songs (I'm reminded most strongly of Tam Lin). They performed well – with one really stand-out element I'll get to in a moment – but this part of the show suffered from the problem the album does. I'd give the music here a solid B+, but the whole thing does – as Steve was pointing out after the show – suffer from being a bit of an intellectual exercise. You are never quite swept away by it. I think the problem is that they are trying to be true to traditions of folk music, indie rock, and the rock opera a la Pete Townshend or Jimmy Page. The result doesn't quite jell, but I think Steve was right when he said of this "Ambition can be a good thing."
The stand-out element from this album and from the performance of it at the show is Shara Worden from My Beautiful Diamond (a band about which I know nothing). She sings the part of a sort of fairie queen and brings to it a vocal power immediately reminiscent of Ann Wilson from Heart. Onpstage she was dynamic and her solo was the high point of the first half show as it is also the high point of the album. I also have to say I was surprised at how small she is. Sort of like Pat Benatar she packs a lot of vocal power into a very small frame.
After a short intermission the band returned to play a selection of favorites from thier various albums beginning with "Leslie Ann Levine" from "Castaways and Cutouts" – which always struck me as a great opening song. In many ways this was the better half of the show because the band was able to do what they do best. I thoroughly enjoyed these songs. During an extended instrumental bit during "The Chimbley Sweep" from "Her Majesty the Decemberists," Colin Meloy and Chris Funk began an amusing guitar duel which culminated with each of them reaching into the audience and brining a kid on stage who took over the instrument. I'm still not sure how staged this was, because at least one of the kids was suspiciously good. Still, it was fun. Again, Shara Worden stole the show, though. At the end of the set, but before the obligatory encore, the band slipped into Heart's "Crazy on You" and Worden came back on stage along with the woman who sings the female lead in Hazards (Becky Stark from Lavender Diamond – another band I am completely unfamiliar with). They split the verses of the song between them. The band's instrumental performance of the song was worthy of the original and Worden's vocals were fantastic. Stark did well, better than I would have assumed, but Worden just brought the house down. The encore brought things down a bit (where else was there to go?) and ended with "Sons and Daughters" from "The Crane Wife", which always struck me as an excellent closing song. All in all it was a good set.
Some of the kids in the crowd were bubbling and calling this "the best show ever." I can't really agree – I've seen the Stones. Still, it was a good show and I'm really glad I went.
Now – I mentioned my quote earlier about this reminding me of what I love and hate about live music. Here is the hate part – members of the crowd. The woman behind me with the ululating shriek worthy of a mourning Bedouin woman. The guy who had to bellow "Sons and Daughters!" at every halt during the second half of the show. The two stumbling drunk girls who came in after the band began playing Hazards and sat down next to me – which prompted an extended exchange involving the ushers when the real ticket holders arrived. All the people who came in late rather than sit through what was a perfectly goos opening band. The replacing of bic lighter with cellphone lights. All this irritated me – but not enough to make it into an evening that I didn't enjoy.
Other moments of note – my first McDonalds food in a couple of years (who knew they were a coffee bar?) – the girl in front of us and the two guys who weren't getting anywhere with her – the most confusing parking deck I've ever been in – and the guy with the crappy Fiat who definitely wasn't getting any from his girlfriend that night.
Let me just finish by saying thanks again to Steve. He is the person who turned me on to the Decemberists to begin with – and in the process got me really listening to music again after several years. He also did the driving. I think that had I done that the irritation factor would have overwhelmed my enjoyment of the evening. Thanks, dude. I'm going to miss you.

[…] Gerald and I went to see The Decemberists perform HOL in Raleigh back in June of 2009. I meant to post a blog entry about the show. I had this whole thing worked up in my head about the differences between going to a show now and pre-cell phone camera, but it never happened. Gerald did post a nice entry about the show—and he touched on a lot of what we talked about on the road back to Greensboro. You can find it here: The Decemberists Show. […]

Audiobook review: "The Call of the Wild" By Jack London
Audiobook review: "The Call of the Wild"
By Jack London
Read by William Roberts
Published by Naxos Audiobooks
Approx 3.5 hours
Once again it was time to visit a classic. So, why not listen to a book that takes you on an adventure from the point of view of a dog. This is one of those books that is assigned in school and is a classic story. From high school to college, student's through the years have analyzed the book into submission. I'm not here to analyze, I may bring up some aspects I found interesting to me, but I don't expect this to be graded by any literature professor, so I'll will mainly be talking about just the fun I had listening to the audiobook version of this classic.
So right off the bat, I'll talk about the narrator, William Roberts. His voice was crisp and clear and he did a perfect job of reading this classic. Roberts was able to convey through his voice the entire story and keep my attention. Sometimes when I dive into a classic novel the reader has a dry matter of fact voice, much like some of my old literature professors. Roberts was able to vocally demonstrate the many emotions and surprises in the story. So from the beginning of the story all the to the last word William Roberts delivered this story with passion and authority with a little touch of a backwoods mountain man.
What makes this story most interesting is that, for the most part, it is told from the point of view of a dog. The main character in this story is Buck, a St. Bernard / Scotch Collie mix. His breed is important because of what his life becomes. The setting of the story is the time of the late 1800's Alaska Gold Rush. Buck is stolen from the luxurious life in the Santa Clara Valley as the pet of a Judge and his family. He is soon shipped to Seattle where he learns the law of the club and becomes submissive enough to be trained as a sled dog in the Klondike.
The story follows Buck as he learns how to survive in the frozen north. Buck is then sold to a pair of French-Canadian dispatchers from the Canadian government, François and Perrault, who take him with them to the Klondike region of Canada. There they train him as a sled dog. Buck first learns by watching then becomes the leader of the pack in a fight to the death with Spitz the lead dog on the team. Buck then develops a reputation with man and dog as a force to be reckoned with. As Buck learns the new skills, he learns more and more on how to rely on the primitive skills required. The more skills he requires the more primitive Buck becomes constantly being called to let loose the domestication and become a wild dog.
After Buck's fight with Spitz the team is sold to a "Scottish half breed" man working the mail service. The dogs must carry a heavy load to the mining areas, and the journey they make is tiresome and long. One of the team, a Husky named Dave, becomes sick and eventually has to be shot.
Buck's next owners are a trio of inexperienced city folk (Hal, Charles, and a woman named Mercedes). Inexperienced at surviving in the Northern wilderness, they struggle to control the sled and ignore warnings that the spring melt poses dangers. They overfeed the dogs and starve them when the food runs out and argue constantly amongst themselves on various issues. On their journey they meet John Thornton, an experienced outdoorsman, who notices that the dogs have been poorly treated and are in a weakened condition. He warns the trio against crossing the river, but they refuse his advice and order Buck to move on. Exhausted, starving, and sensing the danger ahead, Buck refuses and stays down lying in the snow. After Buck is beaten by Hal, Thornton sees the power and uniquenesss in Buck. Thornton cuts Buck free from his straps and tells the trio he is keeping him. After some argument, the trio leaves and tries to cross the river, but as Thornton warned, the ice gives way and the three fall into the river and drown, along with the sled and neglected dogs.
Buck and Thornton become best of friends as Thornton nurses Buck back to the full capacity of the powerful dog he is. Buck returns the favor when Thornton falls into the river and Buck saves his life. Soon the two are making frequent trips to pan for gold. On one of those trips Thornton gets caught up in a boasting match during which he has stated that Buck could break loose a sled loaded down with a half ton of cargo and pull it 100 yards. This wins $1,600 in gold dust for Thornton but the opposing bettor wants to buy Buck from Thornton, but the bond between Buck and Thornton goes beyond any monetary value.
The call of the wild continues to beckon Buck as he makes regular solo trips into the forest while Thornton continues his hunt for gold. Returning from one trip Buck finds the camp raided and many dead. The Yeehat natives are celebrating the conquest when Buck arrives and Buck seeks revenge.
After the loss of the last true friend he had Buck finally answers the call and joins a pack of wolves to become a source of legend for many years to come. While his adventures may sound simple, the feeling of survival and return to mother Earth becomes the underlying theme and can be related to humans or animals. The idea that Buck is affected by having to kill one of his own to take power and then refusing to be violent until he seeks revenge for Thornton's slaughter shows a lot about the character behind Buck.
Treat your self to a revisit to a classic through this very well presented audio version.

Avengers: Endgame Officially Passes Avatar as Biggest Movie of All Time
Avengers: Endgame has officially overtaken Avatar as the highest-grossing movie of all time. There's never been an event movie quite like Avengers: Endgame; the film is essentially a celebration of the last decade's worth of Marvel blockbusters, with a time travel plot that sent its heroes back to key moments in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
There's been intense debate as to whether or not Avengers: Endgame would become the highest-performing movie of all time, taking the crown from Avatar. James Cameron's epic has held the #1 slot for a decade, in part because it simply didn't have as much competition back in 2009. Marvel Studios faced a much more competitive summer, and they pulled out all the stops, even re-releasing Avengers: Endgame with a deleted scene and a tribute to the late, great Stan Lee.
Everything Added To Avengers: Endgame For The Re-Release
According to Variety, Avengers: Endgame has officially passed Avatar as the highest-grossing film of all time. On Saturday, the blockbuster crossed $2.7892 billion at the global box office, and will exceed the $500,000 in ticket sales needed to surpass Avatar's $2.7897 billion benchmark. Disney co-chairman and chief creative officer Alan Horn issued a congratulatory statement to the studio. He said:
«A huge congratulations to the Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Studios teams, and thank you to the fans around the world who lifted 'Avengers: Endgame' to these historic heights.Of course, even with the passage of a decade, the impact of James Cameron's Avatar remains as powerful as ever, and the astonishing achievements of both of these films are ongoing proof of the power of movies to move people and bring them together in a shared experience. The talented filmmakers behind these worlds have much more in store, and we look forward to the future of both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Pandora.»
This is truly a tremendous achievement for Marvel Studios, and the fandom will be delighted with the news. It comes in spite of repeated reports that Avengers: Endgame would fall just short, in spite of the re-release. But the news is certainly perfectly timed — Avengers: Endgame passed this milestone literally at the moment Kevin Feige was taking to the stage at Comic-Con 2019 to present the beginning of Marvel's Phase 4 slate.
Alan Horn's comment is a particularly interesting one, though, because of the care he takes stressing the significance of both Avengers: Endgame and Avatar. No doubt Avatar's #1 position would have figured prominently in the marketing for James Cameron's sequels, and Disney is heavily invested in those; they aim to synergize the sequel releases with the opening of more World of Pandora theme parks. Of course, the amusing question is whether or not Disney will do another Avatar re-release ahead of these sequels — which could potentially mean Cameron steals this crown back next year.
In truth, though, this was a win-win scenario for Disney. In the aftermath of the Disney/Fox acquisition, they own 7 of the top 10 highest-grossing movies of all time. Whether Avengers: Endgame beat Avatar or not, Disney would consider the film to be a resounding success.

This book is the latest in a number of histories of Byzantium that have been published recently with a general audience in mind, and it is one of the most readable of its kind. It offers a grand narrative from the foundation to the fall of Constantinople (330-1453 AD) that focuses on emperors, politics, and war, and is liberally sprinkled will well-chosen anecdotes.
The Lost World will be less useful to scholars as it has no footnotes. Also, its goal is to present a brisk narrative undisturbed by the speed-bumps of academic criticism and skepticism, so it avoids debates, theories, and controversies. Harris makes his choices offstage and reports the facts. Novice readers will not be aware that a lot of what he reports can be--and usually has been--doubted, both the narrative facts and the interpretive framework into which he embeds them. There is almost no criticism of the sources, with one exception: Zosimos' account of Constantine takes yet another beating in chapter one. [1] At the end of the book there are suggestions for further reading which consist of a brief paragraph of citations for each chapter, mostly of books (and a handful of articles), all in English. The Lost World is well written with regard to pacing, prose, and style. These are not lecture notes stitched together and electroshocked by publication into ambulating as a textbook. It was written with care in order to be read. The anecdotes are also well placed, though the unsuspecting reader will not know that many of them are fictions. And there are good turns of phrase that enliven the narrative, e.g., Byzantium "found itself at the end of a kind of ethnic bowling alley" (5). I would not assign the book to undergraduate students, because it does not teach them to be critical of our sources and models, but I would recommend it (among others) to a nonacademic reader who knew nothing about Byzantium and wanted to learn. The book presents Byzantium as dynamic and exciting.
Harris does not explain for whom he wrote the book: "I wanted to investigate why Byzantium lasted for so long" (x, 4). If this was the goal of the book, however, only chapter 1 and the epilogue (240-242) address the question directly and explicitly. In the other chapters, the reader has to infer from the narrative what enabled Byzantium to last for so long. Chapter 1, however, is more analytical and complex. After contrasting Zosimos and Eusebios on Constantine and the foundation of Constantinople, Harris proposes a number of factors that we are meant to take as possible causes of Byzantium's longevity (though their causal mechanisms are not always spelled out). These include the impregnable city of Constantinople; "dominant Christianity"; a political theory that both exalted and restrained the emperor; ascetic spirituality; the visual expression of the spiritual; and an approach to foreign threats that was not purely military. I won't argue with Constantinople and the flexible and adaptive stance toward threatened borders. But I doubt it has been proven here (or anywhere else) that ascetic spirituality and dominant Christianity played a role in imperial survival, though the latter claim especially is often repeated as a truism. How can it be tested? Dominant Christianity compared to what? Most historical societies have religions that perform analogous roles (such as fostering solidarity and a common purpose), while Harris' own narrative shows how Christian obsessions could at times hinder good governance. And factors that I would put at the top of my list are surprising absent from Harris' analysis, specifically the efficiency of the imperial bureaucracy, above all tax-collection, and the centralized administration of the armed forces and law, as well as the national unity provided by a common Roman identity.
Like many Byzantinists before him, and many surely to come, Harris does not believe the Byzantines when they said that they were Romans. In fact, he implies they were
lying about it: "they pulled off one of the greatest deceptions in history, presenting their society in terms of absolute continuity with the past: to the very end they insisted on describing themselves as 'Romans' as if nothing had changed since ancient times" (5). Yet no theoretical standpoint of which I am aware authorizes us to dismiss the identity-claim of a culture simply because stuff changes. No: what we have here is a longstanding western prejudice about who does and who does not have "rights" to the Roman legacy, and the straw man of "change" has been reverse-engineered to deny the Byzantines' Roman identity. If one were so inclined, the same argument from deception could also be made against the Romans of the time of Cicero, or Ovid, or Hadrian, etc. Besides, the Byzantines knew perfectly well that much had changed since ancient times, for example Christianity and a reduction in the size of empire, but they (correctly) believed that these changes did not strip them of their right to be Romans. Among the main reasons their society survived for so long were in fact the modes, assets, assimilative capacity, and cultural specificity of their Roman identity. Conversely, some of the "changes" that Harris proposes can be doubted, for example that "Christianity brought...a conception of rulership that combined political and religious leadership under one head of state" (20, cf. 22). The implied Caesaropapism aside, political and religious leadership had not been so split in the pagan Roman empire that they needed to be united by Christianity.
The epilogue closes with perceptive words that deserve to be quoted at length because they are timely for readers anywhere in Europe and the United States. They also speak to Byzantium's ability to remain relevant in contemporary debates, and challenge historians to insist on that relevance, as Harris does admirably in his closing words:
"The empire survived and retained its culture and identity while all around it the world was in a state of flux. It did so not by becoming a narrow, militaristic state that battened down the hatches and adopted a siege mentality. On the contrary, it strove to turn the constant tide of humanity that washed up against its borders to its advantage, playing one off against the other, bringing some inside its borders to boost its own manpower and integrating them into its own religious system and culture. Thus if Byzantium has one outstanding legacy it is not perhaps Orthodox Christianity or its preservation of classical Greek literature. Rather it is the lesson that the strength of a society lies in its ability to adapt and incorporate outsiders in even the most adverse circumstances" (242).
1. On the basis of their scholia in the surviving manuscript of Zosimos, I suspect that Byzantine scholars preserved his history precisely because his anti-Christian account of Constantine was so easy to refute. It made pagan views of history look ridiculous.

It was a glorious day whenever my grandma pulled an eggy, billowy, puffed yellow dutch baby from the oven, her coffee cup in one hand and kitchen towel tucked into her skirt. I always wondered how she could create such a wonder in practically no time.
When I got a bit older, Grandma shared her secrets for entertaining with me, and that included easy recipes that looked like she'd spent a whole day preparing. Her dutch baby was one of those recipes, a glorified oven pancake that came together in one bowl from ingredients typically found in a pantry, and was ready to eat in less than 30 minutes.
With the help of my KitchenAid® appliances, I've created a delicious rendition of the classic dutch baby, with raspberries and rich coconut cream. It's my brunch go-to when I'm hosting my girlfriends. It couldn't be easier to make, and it's even gluten-free! To begin, start by preheating your oven to 400°F. When the oven reaches 300°F, place your KitchenAid® 5-ply Copper Core 8″ Skillet in the oven. This Skillet has a 5-Ply Copper Core Design for optimal and even heating, which is essential for baking a nice, fluffy dutch baby.
Then, mix together milk and lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, add the flour, tapioca starch, eggs, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla to your KitchenAid® 9-Cup Food Processor with ExactSlice™ System. After 5 minutes, add the lemon-milk mixture to your Food Processor and process on high for 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides, and process for 10 more seconds. The resulting batter will be thin and frothy. I love this Food Processor because it does a really nice job of combining together all these ingredients to make the perfect batter for this recipe.
When the batter is thin and frothy and your oven is preheated, you'll remove your Skillet from your oven and coat the surface with butter. Then, pour the batter immediately into the piping hot Skillet and return to the oven to cook for about 18 minutes.
While that's cooking, use your KitchenAid® 7-Speed Hand Mixer to whip coconut cream into a dreamy, soft-peaked whipped cream. My Hand Mixer and I are best friends because it's so portable and easy to use. Plus, it has a nice soft grip handle, making it super comfortable to work with in the kitchen.
After 18 minutes, your dutch baby will be lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven.
Immediately top your dutch baby with your whipped coconut cream, almonds, raspberries, and lemon zest, to taste.
The great thing about this recipe is that you can top your dutch baby with virtually anything. Try topping with almond butter and mini chocolate chips, or perhaps a nice lemon curd with fresh strawberries. You can even make your dutch baby savory by topping with avocado and salsa. The possibilities are truly endless.
Be sure to share your take on this Dutch Baby with Raspberries and Coconut Cream recipe with us on Instagram using #MadeWithKitchenAid for a chance to be featured.
Gluten-Free Dutch Baby with Raspberries and Coconut Cream
Makes 3 servings
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup brown rice flour (40 grams)
1/4 cup tapioca starch (30 grams)
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 tablespoon butter or organic vegetable shortening
1/2 cup cold coconut cream
1 cup fresh raspberries
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Lemon zest, to taste
Preheat oven to 400°F. When it gets to 300°F, place your KitchenAid® 5-ply Copper Core 8″ Skillet in the oven to heat it up.
Stir together the milk and lemon juice. Let sit for 5 minutes. Add the flour, tapioca starch, eggs, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla to your KitchenAid® 9-Cup Food Processor with ExactSlice™ System. Then, add your lemon-milk mixture to the Food Processor and process on high for 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides, and process for 10 more seconds. Batter will be thin and frothy.
Remove the Skillet from your oven and add butter or vegetable shortening, swirling to melt and coat the entire surface. Immediately pour your batter into the hot Skillet and return to the oven for 18 minutes, until pancake is lightly browned and has puffed up.
While the pancake is baking, whip cold coconut cream in a metal bowl with your KitchenAid® 7-Speed Hand Mixer on a high speed until soft peaks form.
When pancake is finished baking, top with coconut cream, fresh raspberries, almonds, and lemon zest. Serve immediately

Why another blog?
Teacher Assistants, Education Assistants, School Service Officers, or any other title you may have, have a difficult job with students who have behaviour concerns. (This doesn't mean teachers don't have a difficult job. I think we would all recognise they do as well. However, I'm especially talking to TAs here.)
You can often feel isolated when handling these behaviours and you often have little or no training behind you.
I know the newer TAs may have completed an Education Support Certificate. and this would go some way to assisting you to deal with the behaviour concerns. However, I'm not sure this helps with all of the issues you face.
( depositphotos.com)
I have had 10 years experience working specifically with students who had these concerns. It was during a time when schools had enough money to pay for great training.
But let me start at the beginning!
I have 3 daughters, all who have had behaviour concerns! And before you judge please hear my story.
Daughter number 1:
My eldest daughter is now 33 years old. When she began school, she was in an open plan class setting. She would often complain of not being able to work out the teacher's instructions when given to the whole class.
I took her to an occupational therapist, who told me messages went into her brain but got jumbled there. REMEMBER this was before all the diagnoses we have these days. After learning through my own reading about Asperger's Syndrome I began treating her as if she had Asperger's. It has only been the last 12 months, yes at the age 33 years I have realised she has Auditory Processing Disorder. And with the frustrations of this she had her episodes of behaviour concerns.
Daughter number 2:
Always a girl with behaviour concerns! Diagnosed with ADHD! I had always treated her as if she had ADHD, but she was not diagnosed until age fourteen, at her request. I was also told by a professional she had 'abandonment issues'. That was more likely because of our family situation at the time. However, I knew very little of what this title meant.
(Vector Toons)
Daughter number 3:
My youngest daughter I only met when she was 8 years of age. Let's just say she had some major behaviour concerns and I was her support worker in her school. Her issues stemmed from abandonment and trauma. The rest of her story is for her to tell, apart from the fact she was one of my first guinea pigs when I began work in this field.
It was because of my birth daughters that I developed an interest in this area and was then lucky enough to work with the students I did.

Mad Men just had it's mid-season premiere on Sunday with an episode titled "Severance" (did you watch??), and for the die-hards out there you know that there are only a few episodes left until the show is gone forever. Sad face. We will especially miss the fashion, which has been so epic over the years it's spawned a Banana Republic line and countless Halloween costumes.
The show's costume designer Janie Bryant spoke with InStyle this week to dish on what to expect in the final episodes. Head over to InStyle to see more pics and get more dish on the final episodes from Janie!

It was my pleasure to work with Brady Knight and his team during an extensive investigation of various options in the area of extended coverage insurance. I found Mr. Knight to be a thorough-going professional with a deep understanding of his field and a total commitment to the best interests of his clients. I am pleased to give him my unqualified recommendation.
Jack Modesett, Jr.
The Knight Planning team worked tirelessly and sourced it for us under a tight time deadline.
Our experience working with Brady Knight has been outstanding in both a professional and personal capacity. He and his firm have assisted us with a variety of cases, some much more complicated than others. When a specialized insurance product was required by us with a very limited capacity globally, Brady and his team worked tirelessly and sourced it for us under a tight time deadline. We choose to work with Brady and Knight Planning Corp. because they provide us with seasoned expertise, a great deal of personal attention, creative approaches, tenacity, and wisdom regarding complicated issues. Along the way, we became friends as well which is easy to do when working with Brady.
Anuj Sharma
Director of Strategy and Investments, Cathexis Oil and Gas
I actually started in the insurance business a long time ago and I've had insurance as part of my work responsibility on and off for my entire career and I'm now working for a private U.S. bank on the East Coast. I also sit on several corporate boards of insurance companies. I think that Brady is very unusual in that there aren't that many people his age in the business assisting the affluent multi-generationally. He has been an excellent resource for me and many others in the area of life insurance and advanced planning techniques.
Heidi Steiger
Investment Advisor, U.S. Bank
Brady has built a new business model on old-fashioned principles, commitment and hard work. He has hand-crafted a truly unique, personal style around genuine interest in his clients' lives, families and their estates. Brady is masterful at listening until he fully understands your concerns and intentions. Then he matches clients and experts, their specific needs and expertise, building a collaborative team that is tailor made for his clientele to best manage their past decisions, mitigate risks and secure their futures. There are few things more certain, more personal, more complex or more intimidating than death and taxes. There simply is no other group of professionals that is more focused or better equipped to assist us in such sensitive matters. Some companies are built by doing business with friends…Knight Planning Corporation makes lasting friendships by investing in clients.
Pat Burk
Vice President, J.D. Fields & Co.
I want to thank you all for your efforts on my policy. It wasn't easy, I know. There was a lot of hair on the file which makes this particular policy underwriting a challenge. You guys worked hard to make it presentable and probably called in a few favors. I am extremely grateful for all of your efforts and want you all to know you have a very loyal customer here. I make no promises about what that means for the firm but it means a great deal to our family to have you guys in our camp. I hope this doesn't become critical for my wife and son anytime soon but having the policy has lifted a weight off my shoulders. Thank you all for your help on the policy.
Joe Moody
Chief Investment Officer, Parkside Capital
I'm a lawyer and my practice primarily focuses on estate planning. I advise clients on wills and trusts and to process of how to go through probate after someone dies; as a result, life insurance plays a very important role in what I do because it's all been a very key part of the plan that the client puts in place to make sure that they've got all their bases covered. We work with a number of insurance people who do what Brady does; it's just that I happen to think Brady Knight is one of the best ones. Brady brings some unique attributes that I don't see a lot of other people bringing to the table.
First of all, you want people who are good at what they do and make the process easy and Brady definitely does that. For clients, estate planning can be very confusing at times because there are a lot of options. I know Brady really understands the different products. He doesn't work for a specific insurance company – he founded his own company so he's able to find what makes the most sense and is most advantageous for the client.
What I really feel that Brady does extremely well is that he takes a great deal of time to get to know his clients…he understands. With a lot of people, the experience is that they're selling you this insurance policy and as soon as they're done, they move on to the next client. Not Brady — he really makes an effort to get to know his clients, to understand not just their insurance needs, but who they are on a personal level — you can't teach that; that's just something that's part of his personality. I can tell that he really enjoys what he does, believes very strongly in its importance — that comes out in how he approaches working with his clients.
For an example, we have a client that we work on together that has quite a bit of insurance ($300M+) and is part of a very big extended family that has grown complicated. Over the years, they had been sold a number of different insurance policies by a number of different people and nobody was really keeping track of what they had or how it all fit together. Brady came in and spent lots and lots of time trying to get his arms around what insurance they had – he then helped them understand what it all entailed and what they need. Now it's all very organized and if anybody ever has a question, they can just call him and he easily says, "Of course, I can just print this out for you and you can see what I'm talking about." I know that it took a tremendous amount of time, and it's not something that he got paid for, but it was something he wanted to do because he knew it would help them. I just don't see a lot of people doing that. To me, what differentiates Brady is that he takes it the extra step, which is the follow-through. It's what happens after he's sold the insurance to them and how he makes sure they are still taken care of. That's what makes him different than the others out there. I would say to a client that I refer to Brady that you can obviously find a lot of different people out there who sell insurance, but I think you're not going to find somebody like Brady who really gets the big picture and really is going to be there not just through the purchase of the policy, but afterward to make sure that everything is being done the way it needs to be done.

text: U.S. job far from done in Afghanistan --- As the United States draws down its forces in Afghanistan and shifts from direct combat to the narrower mission of countering terrorism and training Afghan forces, some might think this is the time to declare "job done" and focus U.S. attention elsewhere. That would be a mistake. As the current violence in Iraq illustrates, the gains won by our military are fragile. Peace, once won, must be sustained. -- Afghanistan is now in the delicate process of laying the foundation for a democratic political transition – the first since President Hamid Karzai assumed the presidency. As many as 7 million Afghans, or around 60 percent of eligible voters, have twice defied the Taliban and cast ballots to select the country's next president, first in the general election and again in this month's runoff. -- The high turnout and lower level of violence than many had expected are a testament to how non-violent conflict resolution and peacebuilding can multiply and solidify the investments of the United States and the sacrifices made by American troops. The potential for international assistance to help resolve electoral disputes that have cropped up in the past week illustrates the need for continuing engagement. -- Organizations like the United States Institute of Peace, which we both serve, have been helping create the conditions for a peaceful transition that will make Afghanistan more stable and less violent, while improving the lives of the Afghan people. A stable and prosperous Afghanistan can be a vital ally of the United States in a troubled region, and will help ensure that al Qaeda and its associates never again gain a foothold in the region's mountains and valleys. -- Investing in the powerful tools of peacebuilding is both effective and cost-effective, but peacebuilding takes time. Some of the best-spent dollars are those used to prevent or reduce conflicts that can engulf regions and threaten American interests, investments that foster strong allies and partners. We should heed the lessons of our experience in Germany and South Korea, where our unflagging, long-term commitments in the aftermath of war have established thriving partnerships with now-critical allies. -- For the past several years, U.S. and other international organizations in Afghanistan have been supporting local institutions and civil society groups, working hand-in-hand to develop and employ innovative approaches that would help ensure a credible, inclusive and transparent election. -- Afghans organized forums where women challenged presidential hopefuls on economic, political and social issues, and the country's burgeoning media outlets promoted an almost non-stop run of televised candidate debates. At the grassroots level, activists organized poetry competitions that drew on treasured Afghan traditions, and ran a radio show to raise awareness about rule of law. There was even a rap video contest to devise an election anthem, and graffiti promoting a peaceful election, to engage the youth who are so important to the process and to Afghanistan's future. -- The Afghan-led efforts were underpinned by research, expertise and financial backing from the U.S. and other international donors. The outcome might help U.S. troops and their NATO-coalition partners to withdraw most of their military forces, as planned, with greater confidence that the gains won by more than a decade of fighting can be sustained. -- Tools for preventing, mitigating and resolving violent conflict – national or interfaith dialogue, facilitation skills, multiparty negotiations, and education and training to build support for the rule of law are just a few – will become only more crucial as technology spreads and global power becomes more diffuse. And the costs of such tools are relatively modest. USIP's recent annual congressional appropriations of about $35 million equals approximately the amount needed to field one light infantry rifle platoon in Afghanistan. Imagine what we could achieve with even more concerted efforts and funding for peacebuilding and conflict resolution. -- Well-done and well-resourced, peacebuilding can help prevent the loss of American lives, enhance American security and preserve U.S. tax dollars, while relieving human suffering and demonstrating America's commitment to peace. It maximizes other U.S. government investments in diplomacy, foreign assistance and the armed forces. It also strengthens local institutions around the world that can sustain long-term campaigns against deadly violence for decades after America's investment ends. - More, Stephen J. Hadley and Kristin M. Lord, Special to CNN, http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2014/06/27/u-s-job-far-from-done-in-afghanistan/

Recent projects
- Consulting for publisher Raconteur on design and implementation of this sponsored content hub on thetimes.co.uk, working with developers from The Times. I also provide ongoing consulting to Raconteur on editorial issues.
- Leveraging my pan-European media knowledge by providing strategic advice for a major US business publisher interested in UK and European expansion.
- Running a 'strategy day' for a specialist financial publication, mixing my broad industry expertise with the great ideas from their own staff to accelerate change.
- Creating a standards handbook for a fast-growing global online publisher to boost quality, especially from new writers, to ensure its content doesn't get labelled as 'fake news'.
- As a Council Member of global professional network GLG I have provided media industry expertise to a number of US-based fund managers.
Helping publishers boost revenue and traffic
I've run sites ranging from free to locked-down paywall. I've designed spin-off projects that generate revenues without diluting quality. And I've designed and run events that have generated £200,000 in a single evening. Has your media outlet got the right mix?
Benchmarking and content analysis: A clear view of the competition is vital to fine-tune editorial strategy, but teams can sometimes overestimate their strengths and underestimate their weaknesses. Bringing in my expertise helps get away from groupthink and allows the true picture to emerge.
Restructuring the team: Old organisation structures may not work as business needs change. I have managed a number of restructuring projects involving dozens of staff and that experience means I can minimise disruption and handle all employees with sensitivity.
Improving quality: Quality journalism isn't an accident – it's the result of a partnership between staff and management and will become increasingly essential as the fightback against fake news intensifies. I have given ethics training to hundreds of journalists as well as running courses in feature-writing, news-writing and many more key skills.
Advising tech firms on content issues
News and opinion helps drive traffic and can be a vital subscriber acquisition tool for any web-based service. Ask me how this can be done cost-effectively.
Content licensing: Don't negotiate a content licensing deal without a good understanding of what you're getting and what other deals may be available. I have a decade of experience licensing everything from premium financial content to weather and travel.
Ensuring media investors avoid expensive mistakes
Brave enough to invest in the media sector? I have experience with due diligence and pre-purchase studies.
Small- and mid-sized publishers: reasons to be cheerful
Download my 2017 white paper on their challenges (and some quick fixes) here
My industry knowledge has been built up over more than 30 years. I've been the editor for Europe, the Middle East and Africa for Dow Jones Newswires (leading a team of over 330 people from Dublin to Moscow), executive editor for Europe for The Wall Street Journal, and editor of Financial News where I also ran high-profile awards and events.
I've written for The Times, The Guardian and the Financial Times and know how global media works: I have run websites in Turkish and German, and spent a decade in Asia at the South China Morning Post and Wall Street Journal.
I'm also, frankly, a bit of a geek. I have a degree in computing and co-founded a software firm after I left university. I've just built a 3D printer and my current hobby is tweaking it to printing perfection.
I'm now posting regular thoughts on industry issues to my LinkedIn page I am also a LinkedIn mentor to a number of young journalists helping them with advice on getting their first job.

Neon Letterpress Cards Are Spreading the Joy
Wouldn't it be great if there was a little more joy in the world? Now more than ever it feels like we need it. Happily new greetings card company Joy Addict has come to the rescue with a brand new range of neon letterpress cards.
Joy Addict is a quirky and colourful greeting card company. Launched in December 2016 by Katie and Xiomara, the company aims to cultivate the art of note-giving and spreading joy.
Following a successful fund raising campaign on Kickstarter, the company is launching with 20 bright, cheeky, neon letterpress greeting cards. Each card is hand-printed on an antique press in Pasadena, California using high quality, tree-free paper.
Inspiring Neon Letterpress Cards
Joy Addict's greetings cards are made for people who want to share joy and kindness in a simple, tangible way. Katie and Xiomara believe a thoughtful, handwritten note can say so much more than a text full of emojis; even though they still have a soft spot for emojis!
Putting their own twist on greetings cards, Joy Addict are inspired by all things bright, colourful, joyful and cheeky.
At the heart of what they want to achieve with their new greetings card company is a desire to share love through products and profits.
A central part of this is their commitment to give 10% of all their profits to support organisations that address both ongoing and current global issues.
Presently this support is going towards too worthwhile causes: Living Goods and World Vision's Syrian Refugee Crisis.
Bringing the Joy to Life
Joy Addict's neon letterpress cards are hand-printed in California using beautiful, thick, eco-friendly cotton paper and bright Pantone inks. In every step of the process, they aim to be as eco-friendly as possible.
The cards use tree-free paper, which is made from cotton linters, a by-product of the cotton industry recognised by the America's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a recovered fibre.
About Joy Addict
Behind Joy Addict is Katie and Xiomara, designers and stationery lovers who describe themselves as:
"Two paint-covered, cactus hugging, coffee loving, kindness seeking, outdoor adventuring friends!"
Talking about the motivation behind Joy Addict the pair commented:
"We've been pouring out our hearts, souls, and a lot of coffee into our cups not only because we love illustrating and stationery (woot!) but because we believe any product, including greeting cards, can be a force for good. When Joy Addict is launched, with every product purchased, 10% of that profit will go to organisations addressing both ongoing and current global issues. You purchase, we give. Straight up lovin' with straight up real effects. We hope that in our own quirky, neon coloured way we can seriously impact this world for good".
How to Buy Neon Letterpress Greeting Cards
Joy Addict's greeting cards retail at $5.00 each. You can also purchase a set of 6 cards for $25.00. For the true joy addict Katie and Xiomara offer a 6 month greetings card subscription, which includes 3 letterpress cards each month for $72.00.
To see more, stock or purchase from the range please visit the Joy Addict website.
