Science writer Alanna Mitchell has arguably done more than any single person to ring warning bells internationally about the deteriorating state of our oceans due to climate change.
In 2009, her book Sea Sick: The Global Ocean in Crisis was released to wide acclaim, winning the prestigious Grantham Award. It then morphed into a popular TED Talk, and is now a one-woman play which Mitchell is performing around the world, including this August at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
"This is not my father's science," says Mitchell. "In my father's day a scientist would spend an entire career trying to figure out the life cycle of a single creature — how many babies it had, what it ate, how it spent the winter. It was all leisurely. Today they are racing to try and figure out how one species, humans, are radically altering nature's plan."
A native of Regina, Mitchell has been one of Canada's leading science journalists and authors for decades, getting her start at the Financial Post and then the Globe and Mail. She has written about everything from cancer to climate change, evolution to Arctic exploration. Her most recent book, The Spinning Magnet, explains Earth's electromagnetic field and how a reversal of the planet's magnetic poles might impact our modern infrastructure.
About the threat posed by declining ocean health, Mitchell is unequivocal: "If everything on land were to die tomorrow, everything in the ocean would be fine. But if everything in the ocean were to die tomorrow, everything on land would die too."
Covering more than 70 per cent of Earth's surface, oceans play a hugely important role in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and cycling other nutrients, but as humans continue to pump more and more CO2 into the atmosphere, the chemistry of the ocean is changing. As Mitchell puts it, chemistry determines biology, and in the decade since Sea Sick, worrying trends such as coral bleaching, the deoxygenation of coastal areas and the movement of marine organisms away from the coasts and equator have only intensified.
"[This is] a hinge moment in the history of our civilization," says Mitchell. "This is the moment that's going to make all the difference, not just for us but for all sorts of other species. We don't have the time or luxury to delay anymore."

The 2016 UK Houzz Landscaping Survey unveiled an astonishing 59% of homeowners are prioritising outdoor living as the biggest influence in their overall outdoor project design.
The yearly study found that 90% of homeowners are updating structural elements, whilst 82% are revamping outdoor systems and equipment and 80% are transforming beds and borders. Due to the scale of these projects, over a third of outdoor overhaulers are obtaining the assistance of a landscape contractor/architect/designer or a gardener to ensure their projects run smoothly.
These types of garden makeovers are having a notable impact on British outdoor living, with 81% reporting that they spend more time outside as a result of these changes. Additionally, 78% of homeowners are now relaxing, 70% are eating and 67% are entertaining in their newly-transformed spaces. Gardening is no longer the most popular function of outdoor spaces, with 70% of Brits preferring to relax in their alfresco area.
With more than half of all outdoor renovators spending over five hours a week in their gardens, it's not surprising that outdoor shading options, such as our folding arm patio awnings and highly-acclaimed louvered roofs have never been in such high demand. Homeowners are rapidly realising the numerous lifestyle benefits an attractive alfresco area can provide, with our clients reaping the rewards of outdoor living on a day-to-day basis, remaining protected from harmful UV rays whilst sheltered from any unwelcome rain showers.

Best tools for converting flash to HTML5
With the apparent rise in the popularity, Hypertext Markup Language 5 is fast becoming the go-to-technique when one wants to render videos online. Gone are those days when you needed to have the latest version to Adobe Flash to play the video. Thanks to HTML5, now we have the best and a more versatile technique to play videos online without worrying about downloading or compatibility issues. This is a great boon as we don't have to simply waste time.
The very conversation about Flash and HTML5 naturally brings us to the next pertinent question; how can one convert Flash site to HTML5. It is obviously recommended to upgrade and convert all your stuff from flash to HTML5.
There are several applications one can find online to achieve conversion of Flash to HTML5. One of the easily accessible and effective convertersthat many designers and programmers use to achieve the same is Google Swiffy, which, as you would know, is free. One of the best features that attracted many coders and designers to it is that it is exceptionally fast in doing what it is supposed to do and it can carry out the conversion on the browser itself in a flawless manner.
However, this HTML5 conversion tool has become more and more redundant as there are several other applications published by various software developers. As the case is, there must be newer programs to carry out the same tasks, only better and more efficiently. All are unique in several aspects and understanding them is vital to help you in deciding the right one suitable for your exact purpose.
Major Reasons for Using Authoring Tools for Converting Flash based eLearning Courses to HTML5 format
Authoring tools offer an edge over Google Swiffy during Flash to HTML5 migration process. This is contributing to their increasing popularity among e-course developers. There are many reasons for using authoring tools to convert Flash to HTML5 content for exceptional results. These are discussed below.
E-courses become compatible with different devices and browsers
Contemporary learners using e-courses don't want to remain bound to a particular device or browser. They seek versatility in accessing the courses. This is made possible through e-learning courses converted with authoring tools. A learner can choose a preferred device and browse the course at his/ her convenience.
Flash courses suffered from the limitation that they could not be played on modern devices such as Android smartphones, iPhones, iPads, Android tabs, advanced laptops etc. Once the e-content has been converted from Flash to HTML5 with the help of authoring tools, it becomes responsive. Resultantly, the content in HTML5 format can be accessed from any mobile device or browser of choice.
Courses can be updated with efficiency
If you want to add new elements to existing eLearning content, you can do so relatively easily after converting the existing Flash based content to HTML5 with the aid of authoring tools. Flash courses can be updated in any of two preferred ways.
The content can be updated with contemporary policies, trends in eLearning domain, and new case studies. Also, the course can be updated in more articulated step by step instructional manner.
A course that has been developed many years back becomes outdated and should be updated with newer inputs. With the help of a rapid authoring tool, the eLearning course can be developed and redesigned from start with ease. A newer outlook of the content can be presented to enhance its appeal. Flash to HTML5 conversion strategies can include modern instructional methods like simulation based training and micro learning.
Learning experience can be made more immersive using authoring tools such as 'Articulate Storyline'. When a course is redesigned using it, contemporary interactive feature 'dial and slider' can be incorporated. The old Flash based content can be rendered more interactive with the tool.
If the course in Flash had been developed using an earlier version of the authoring tool, you can upgrade the same by incorporating updated features by leveraging advanced functions of same authoring tool. The Flash course can be reprogrammed and republished for better output in HTML5 format.
If source files are not available and the course does not carry complex multimedia and interactive elements, you can adopt the strategy of 'Record' conversion during elearning translation from old to HTML5 format. The 'Rebuild' conversion process needs to be adopted if the source files of Flash course are missing but the eLearning content has media elements in it.
Courses can be translated easily into different languages
When a Flash based course is translated manually or with Swiffy, one needs to retrieve suitable content, place the same in standardized template, and then go about replacing the content with translated version within the course. This consumes significant amount of time.
However, when authoring tools are used for conversion of Flash based eLearning course into HTML5, you can avail of the in-built support for HTML5 export. This simplifies the process of translation. By leveraging the functionalities of tools, precisely translated eLearning content can be made available to learners so that they can browse the courses in their preferred languages.
The authoring tools offer multi-language option for publishing content. By exercising this option, the entire course content can be exported to RTF format for translation with a single click. The RTF format is globally preferred by translation vendors. After completion of translation, the translated content can be incorporated in the eLearning module for publishing in HTML5 format. You can convert elearning courses into multiple languages easily and quickly with authoring tools.
In the eLearning market, many authoring tools with cutting-edge conversion features are available. You can expeditiously transform Flash based content to HTML5 format. With the help of authoring tools, obsolete eLearning content can be redesigned or translated to multiple languages so that the needs of contemporary learners are catered to.

There are a lot of tips for converting flash to html5 to be considered while using this tool.
This is one of the most favorite tools among flash animation to html5 companies.

dominKnow | One has become popular as a useful authoring tool in eLearning segment. The dominKnow platform has released a number of authoring tools which have been subjected to improvisation. This is evident from dominKnow | One release which blends the power of dominKnow Claro with the responsiveness of dominKnow Flow. The authoring tool also has inbuilt support to facilitate simulations of software.
This tool is cloud based. Different eLearning course developers can collaborate for collectively working on various projects. The turnaround time thus becomes lower. Courses in Flash can be converted to HTML5 really fast. The courses can be reviewed by different reviewers from multiple locations.
Advantages: The authoring tool permits the usage of custom scripts, triggers and variables which allows for customization. Recreation and rebuilding of the interactions which were Flash based can be done easily. As all the resources are centrally shared on the cloud, reuse of learning components becomes easier. The tool is being updated at regular intervals. Keeping this in perspective, it would be wise to expect new update of dominKnow with more advanced features sooner.
The SmartBuilder tool can easily allow creation of eLearning courses which are complex in nature. Quizzes, textual content, interactivities, and multimedia elements can be integrated with ease. eLearning developers who have already worked with content authoring tools would find it really productive to use. The tool does not support editing videos and recording screens. For Flash powered e-courses, you need to have all the source files as the 'record' mode would not work while converting Flash to HTML5.
Advantages: You can avail of a number of interactions which can be readily used. The templates and functional aspects are flexible to use and apply.
This authoring tool prides itself of an intuitive interface. eLearning developers can work and collaborate without experiencing any location based constraint. This is because the tool is hosted over the cloud. The tool may not be suitable for your needs if you want it to be ultra-flexible in designing.
Advantages: When you need more agility in Flash to HTML5 conversion, you can use the quick start wizards and inbuilt templates to become more productive. Another important feature is the inclusion of beginner guides which offers step by step direction for developing eLearning courses. The tool is based in cloud. It supports eLearning course development in multiple languages.
This easy to use authoring tool can facilitate development of eLearning courses in-house. However, the tool lacks the number of interactivities which are offered by other authoring tools like the dominKnow and Storyline.
Advantages: The tool is easy to use. It is responsive in nature which facilitates development of courses for mobile. You can develop different formats for questionnaires. Quizzes can be customized.
Composica is a great authoring tool for facilitating collaboration of team members on any project. The tool does not support redressing of the developers' queries and as such it has not been very successful for converting Flash courses to HTML5
Advantages: The tool has inbuilt support for group development function. Different developers can be part of the same project. However, the same slide cannot be worked upon by all at one point of time
These eLearning authoring tools are most extensively used for HTML5 output. You can go for free deals that the tools provide you with. Depending on your expenses, you need to choose the right open-source tool. Try out these tools to know the benefits and cons and check out whether they cater to your requirements. However, it is necessary to gain expertise in using these tools to get the desired output. Have a look at "Converting flash to html5- Merits in e-learning", that you might find useful.
As you would understand with all the advantages and benefits of the Hypertext Markup Language 5, we will finally talk about the things it cannot do and how it limits to explore the areas we may need to. However, until we reach a place where such things become common and inevitable, let us not have such a conversation today.

Such professional services would be able to bring the best and excellent global publishing experiences to you and ultimately your clients.

High Resolution Radar Quantitative Precipitation Estimation in the San Francisco Bay Area: Rainfall Monitoring for the Urban Environments
Although the San Francisco Bay Area has coverage from the operational NEXRAD radar network, a combination of complex topography and marine environment provides unique forecasting challenges. As part of NOAA's El Niño Rapid Response Field Campaign efforts to help improve understanding of heavy rainfall processes in the Bay Area, an X-band radar system was deployed in Santa Clara to augment operational monitoring with research-quality, high-resolution measurements of precipitation from February through May 2016. The system provided high quality precipitation estimates for use by the National Weather Service to forecast extreme flooding and by the Santa Clara's hydrologic modeling system to predict localized urban runoff.
In a new study to be published in the Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan, researchers from the ESRL Physical Sciences Division and Colorado State University analyzed rainfall from several events that occurred in March 2016 in the Santa Clara – San Jose region. They found that rainfall estimates from the X-band radar were in good agreement with rain gauge measurements over accumulation periods ranging from minutes to hours. Hourly rainfall accumulations from the X-band were shown to perform better than similar estimates from NEXRAD.
The X-band radar provided high quality rainfall estimates that performed better than NEXRAD, demonstrating the added value of the X-band system. In the San Francisco Bay area, a network of X-band radars, together with advanced precipitation forecasting techniques, has been shown to produce benefits to cost ratio of 5 to 1.
High resolution rainfall monitoring systems in urban regions can provide a host of benefits across different sectors of the economy, including flood damage mitigation, water quality, water supply, and transportation—and help keep communities safer.
Authors of High Resolution Radar Quantitative Precipitation Estimation in the San Francisco Bay Area: Rainfall Monitoring for the Urban Environment are: Rob Cifelli (NOAA), Haonan Chen (CIRA) and Lynn Johnson (CIRES) of ESRL's Physical Sciences Division, and V. Chandrasekar of Colorado State University.

- hot italian sausage

- roasted red peppers
- basil

It's not surprising that I'm often asked what my favorite pizza is. What may surprise you is that I have a difficult time answering that question. We have such amazing pizzas at Tutta Bella and so many to choose from that it is challenging to decide. But then a light bulb goes off, I remember and the answer flows freely…
"The Pulcinella," I exclaim!
Pulcinella is one of the best-known figures in the Neapolitan culture. The character was originally developed in the 16th century by traveling troupes of actors in Naples as part of the genre of performance theatre called Commedia dell'Arte.
Today, if you walk the streets of Naples you will find thousands of different forms of this character, always dressed in a large, white smock and soft white hat. On his face rests a black half-mask with a hooked nose.
Pulcinella has become a good luck charm in Neapolitan culture and a symbol of someone who rebels against the abuses and humiliations received by the powerful. He does so jokingly, with good humor and a sly smile. In many depictions of this character, he can be found eating pasta or cooking pizza since they represent the historical foods of Naples. Even our cherished accrediting body for "true Neapolitan pizza," the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN), has Pulcinella in their logo.
Tutta Bella's Pulcinella pizza is as playful a take on Neapolitan pizza as Pulcinella is a character. It starts with an extra virgin olive oil base and then it is dressed with fresh mozzarella, hot Italian sausage, our housemade sweet/hot pickled peppers, roasted red peppers, fresh basil and Pecorino Romano.
I am always very excited when the Pulcinella makes an appearance as this playful pizza is by far my favorite! Please join us at Tutta Bella from September 10 through October 7 for a Pulcinella pizza. Maybe it will become your favorite, too!

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our family. Adoption has been the most tremendous gift in our life, and words cannot express how much we admire the strength that you have to consider such an enormous decision. We want to be respectful of your choices and let you know that we are just humbled that you are taking the time to let us introduce ourselves.
Our names are Megan & Bill, & we became parents to our sweet son, Gus, through adoption in 2016. We are so excited and ready to grow our family through adoption. Family is the most important thing to us, and we know that we have so much love to share. We both come from big families with brothers & sisters, and we want Gus to have those same strong sibling bonds.
About Us
We both went to the same college but met through mutual friends shortly after graduation about 13 years ago, and we have been married for 6 of those years. We love spending time with our family & friends, taking Gus and our dog, Tyler, for walks or to the park – or just for adventures in our backyard. We both love learning and we cannot wait to instill that curiosity for the world around us in our children through visiting new people and places.
About Bill (by Megan)
After just our first date, I realized that Bill was like no one else that I had ever met. He is passionate & dedicated to his work, but is also so easy going & fun when he clocks out at the end of the day. Gus cannot get enough of his Dada. They play, chase & laugh so hard that they wear each other out. Bill loves sports and is always highly competitive when it comes to board games.He also takes pride in work on projects around the house and in the yard. Bill runs a well-established IT company where he started out as an employee more than 15 years ago & is now the President /Owner.
About Megan (by Bill)
Megan loves to laugh & has the greatest sense of humor I have ever encountered. She is also a great listener & has a tremendous amount of patience & calm in reserve which you can never have too much of with a rambunctious toddler. Megan has a Bachelor's Degree in English, & remains an avid reader. Gus is already a budding bookworm, too – they will read book after book together! Megan loves arts & crafts — especially knitting. She has practically made a zoo of lovable creatures for the kids in our life.Megan has a great full-time job in marketing at a Fortune 500 company. We are thrilled that her work offers onsite daycare & flexible scheduling so that we can make the most of our time at work & at home with Gus.
About Gus
Gus is one of the happiest, silliest, & sweetest little boys around. He loves dancing, playing outside, blowing kisses, reading books, and generally making everyone laugh. He loves spending time with his 2 cousins that are very close in age, and is always so sweet with his baby cousin. We just know that he will be such a fantastic big brother.
Our Dog, Tyler
We rescued our dog, Tyler, when he was just a few months old. For the first few years he had the energy of a puppy, and could run as fast (if not faster) as any dog in the dog park. Now that he is closing in on 12 years old, he mostly likes to nap and eat. Gus & Tyler are best buds, and we have even nicknamed Tyler "The Baby Monitor," because he always lets us know that Gus is up before we can hear it on the monitor.
Our House/Neighborhood
We live on a quiet street in a great school district in our city. We have a big backyard that backs up to woods and we love spotting deer, bunnies and other animals out our back window with Gus. We have an in-ground pool and great patio that has made our backyard pretty popular in warm weather, and we love having friends and family over to help us relax and enjoy our free time.

The powers of evil and death will never triumph over Christ and the church he built on the rock of Peter and continues to fortify with his successors, Pope Benedict XVI told new archbishops from 18 countries.
More quotes:
Though the church and Christ are continually walking toward their cross, suffering and being tossed to and fro like a small boat on a sea whipped up "by the winds of ideologies, ... in the suffering church, Christ is victorious," the pope said during a Mass in St. Peter's Basilica for the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul June 29.
We all need to remind ourselves this from time to time. It is tempting to think that all is lost because of the present age, but we must hold on and have faith.
And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, "Save, Lord; we are perishing." And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O men of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?" (Matthew 8:24-27)

Leeks are one of the oldest vegetables, but that doesn't mean that they can't add a unique flavor to your dishes.
Availability & Origin These vegetables are available year-round, but they peak during late winter and early spring. The top three producing countries are Indonesia, Turkey, and Belgium. The top producing states in the U.S. are California, New Jersey, Michigan, and Virginia.
Appearance & Flavor Their long, cylindrical stem closely resembles that of a scallion. This stem is white at the root and grows more green the closer to the top you look. Leek leaves are stiff and have a blue-green hue.
Storage To get up to a week from your leeks, wrap them tightly in plastic and store them in the refrigerator.
Ways to Enjoy Enjoy them raw in your salads and dips or cooked in your soups, casseroles, and sauces. Try this leek dish and switch things up at your dinner table.
History Remember how we said the leek is one of the oldest vegetables? Well, the oldest cookbook from Roman times-written by Apicus around the 3rd century-mentioned the leek. Fun fact: The Roman Emperor Nero's love of leeks was said to be so outrageous that he was given the nickname of Poropahgus, meaning "leek-eater."

It would seem the key to happiness this November is sunshine in your pocket, good soul in your feet, and a ticket to see Trolls.
The directors of DreamWorks' and 20th Century Fox's new animated feature want one thing from you and one thing only: For you to just be happy. Mike Mitchell and Walt Dohrn are the directors behind the film loosely inspired by the 20th century dolls of the same name (emphasis on 'loosely'); the pair came to their bright idea of Trolls after facing endless amounts of negativity and fear in the news and the world at large.
"We said, the world itself is so full of social unrest and so much violence, so let's make something with some happy in it," says Dohrn, a Shrek franchise alum who co-directs alongside principal helmer Mitchell (Shrek Forever After, Sky High).
As Trolls prepares to delight little and big crowds this weekend, EW sat down with the directing duo to inquire about how plastic dolls, Hiyao Miyazaki, and Justin Timberlake all contributed to the happiest movie this year.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What do you even do when a studio approaches you and says, "Hey guys, do you remember Trolls?"
WALT DOHRN: Well first you say, yes, we remember Trolls. We played with them on these shag carpets in the '70s.
MIKE MITCHELL: We both grew up in the '70s. But the next thing that you say is, 'Yeah, and we have a way to make this into something.' Because the thing is, there is no history to these.
DOHRN: They didn't really have anything. Essentially it was a blank slate and an opportunity for us to create a whole unique world that you've never seen before. No characters, no mythology. There was nothing attached to it. The original Troll doll that we're talking about was Thomas Dam.
MITCHELL: This old wood carver from Denmark. His daughter was scared of trolls, which are typically known as baby-snatching evil creatures that live under bridges. So because his daughter was scared, he carved this happy troll with puffy hair—
DOHRN: And little clothes and arms outstretched and that kind of cute-ugly face, and that was the origin. There wasn't any story more than that.
MITCHELL: All we inherited was the ugly-cute stubby little body, and definitely the hair, which we held on to. But other than that, there was nothing else! Creatively, it was really exciting for us.
You probably played around with several ideas — the trolls as toys, the trolls living in a world with humans. What else did you spitball?
MITCHELL: We launched into the world we created right off, because we didn't want to make them as toys because we didn't want to make a toy commercial. I like to think that we're not commercial filmmakers but just filmmakers, and storytellers, and so what Walt and I like are fairy tales. We love fairy tales and we're really inspired by the Japanese animated films by Miyazaki. He did Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro. And Walt and I have friends that work on the TV show Adventure Time, and so we thought, let's take those two things that are really inspiring to us and show our love of those two things in a gigantic CGI DreamWorks film. How do we westernize Miyazaki and include those weird, strange creatures but really create our own world?
DOHRN: And we didn't want to make a film that took place in the real world. What's so great about animation is you can transport the audience to a place they've never been to before, so that was the source of our first inspiration.
Which moment in the film would you say is the most Miyazaki?
MITCHELL: The sequence of "Get Back Up Again." It's the song that Anna Kendrick sings as she's traveling and we go, in a matter of three minutes, to 27 locations, which is not normal for a movie.
DOHRN: And we meet all these kind of supernatural, surreal creatures. All the way up through "Sound of Silence." The whole troll forest had that Miyazaki spirit, I think.
Your art department has achieved some really tremendous effects in terms of hand-crafted texturing here. When did that lightbulb go off as something you wanted to do?
DOHRN: I have to credit Kendal Cronkhite for getting us there. She's our production designer and she's amazing. But it started from the fact that the technology for these CGI films has gotten so, so sophisticated. Skin textures can look so real that you could swear it's human skin up on the screen. So we wanted to go the other way: Our trolls themselves are like gummy bears locked in velvet, and the world, instead of being hyper-real, we wanted to use natural fibers.
MITCHELL: We really wanted this kind of tactile experience for the audience where they felt like they could reach in and want to touch it. We also really wanted a hand-crafted feel to the world. Yes, we use digital technology to create that world, but we just wanted to try to return to the basics. Everything feels like an artist made it.
Most of the trolls look relatively similar, but there are some unique shapes and colors. Is there a greater assortment of troll species and races out there?
DOHRN: We imagined that there is a whole universe of trolls. For this story, we happen to just tap into this one tribe, but we imagined the universe is so vast, much like our own world, there are many facets to the kind of trolls that exist.
MITCHELL: To be fair, there's only one giraffe troll in the mix, and that came from Walt and I, early on, when we were constructing the story, we visited a lot of strange, wonderful collectors of troll dolls, and in every collection for some reason there's this funky giraffe with a troll head and this, like, '70s hat on. That's how Ron Funches' character came into it.
That answers my next question, which is, what the hell is Cooper?
MITCHELL: Maybe there's a whole tribe of Coopers out there!
DOHRN: We definitely imagined that there's a tribe of Coopers. Maybe someday he'll meet his brothers and sisters.[ew_image nid="2808681″ align="left" width="320″ height="240″]
Beyond aesthetics and world-building, what were some of your benchmark story epiphanies?
MITCHELL: One of the things that happened early on is we knew that we wanted to do a needle-drop musical.
DOHRN: A jukebox musical with classic songs.
MITCHELL: And we knew that we wanted to make it really irreverent and funny and not just for kids. We wanted it for adults. Early on, we decided on something and it was kind of the moment when we got really excited. All the media out there is so dark and scary. Anything on the news, not just for kids but for adults, is terrifying, and the internet is such a judgmental, negative space. And that sounds kind of strange — how do we make a film about happiness? But I started to listen to TED Talks about happiness.
DOHRN: And this great Harvard study that's been going on now for like four decades, where they really talk about the source of it.
MITCHELL: So Walt and I came up with the idea that we honestly think that everyone's born with this innate happiness inside them. After debating for a while, we're like, let's make our movie about that. That's what it is, and it was really an inspiration for us. This is exactly the time when the world needs this.
DOHRN: And once we clued into that, it really informed how we wrote the scenes and how we went about it.
MITCHELL: We used happiness to design the characters. The colors are informed by that, the music is certainly informed by that. That was the lynchpin that got us going.
Was Poppy ever too happy?
DOHRN: Especially in the beginning. We realized, we wanted her to be naïve but this level of insane naïvete and optimism wasn't that relatable to most people.
MITCHELL: It really helped that Anna Kendrick was our first actress that we got on board very early on. She helped us craft Poppy. Anna didn't want her to be your typical animated princess, and Anna brought this edge to her. It was really fun to work with Anna and come up with this intelligence that Poppy has. Even though she's still super naïve, it becomes her superpower.
Why did you opt for classic music instead of making it a full, traditional new musical?
MITCHELL: It seems like we've seen that a million times in animated films, and specifically with Pasek and Paul's song "Get Back Up Again," we wanted to skewer the animated musical that we've seen many, many times and kind of have more fun with it. Also, it's how people listen to music — they mix it up on their phones, they hit all different eras.
DOHRN: What's really great is once we brought Justin into the process, he said, "Hey, I can make some music for you." That was incredible because we got to some story points where we just couldn't find the right song. That's why Justin made "Can't Stop the Feeling" for us. He crafted that after we talked about it for a long time, and then he went out and did it, and lo and behold, he made it a hit song, which I honestly can't believe to this day.
And you originally sought him out just to be a voice actor, right?
DOHRN: We just wanted Justin as a voice because he's a great actor and he's got an excellent sense of humor, and he's so funny on Saturday Night Live. So we just went to him as a voice actor, but as we were pitching to him, he was listening to the music we had — we already had Earth, Wind & Fire and Cyndi Lauper — and then he pitched us. He was like, "Guys, I want to do this but I also want to help you do the music. This is so awesome." And it was really fortunate because I don't know if we could have done it without him, without that song that he made for us, and also, he went back and helped us bring a cohesiveness to all the songs. He kind of Troll-ified every song.
There's already talk of life for trolls after this film. What's on the horizon for you guys?
MITCHELL: Walt and I have worked on so many franchises like Shrek and SpongeBob and Chipmunks, and we just want to go on and keep creating more. We loved the blank slate of just creating a world from scratch, and we want to just keep doing that.
Trolls is now in theaters.

Like most women, I'm many things. A mom of three, a wife of over twenty years, a business woman, holistic nutritionist, herbalist, wellness coach, and a teacher. But at heart, I'm a storyteller. Even more than that, I would say I'm a story gatherer. Stories resonate. Everyone has one, but
it's often the stories we tell ourselves that are the most important.
I too have a story. When I reflect back, it's always on those moments that changed me the most. Moments of quiet despair when my health was at its worst, and my Christmas letter to friends and family sounded like a goodbye. Moments when I thought,
"I'm not going to make it through this."
But I did.
And of course all the good moments too. Laughing until you cry. Babies. Healing hugs. Bright smiles. Jogs down the road pushing kids as their songs drift in the air. Playing in the yard. Autumn leaves. Vacations. Sand between my toes. Grass beneath my feet. The view from the top of the mountain.
As I've gotten older, I'm able to reflect back on every single one of those moments, both good and bad, and recognize a pattern. When times were at their most difficult, I never gave up. Sure, I hated every second of it, but I fought through. Asking the questions that needed to be asked. Educating myself.
Doing the work.
I'm not sure why it's always the most difficult things that compel us forward in completely new directions. Maybe that's just how the story goes. But those challenges did something.
They pushed me to LEARN how to push back.
Even to this day, whenever I feel weak in mind or body, I innately know it's time to build strength. Time to hit the gym. To challenge that hill. To nurture myself more. To write more. To read more. To ask the hard questions.
It's time to grow.
Being able to go through the hard stuff and not give up is an essential part of life. In every single story there's always that part when the character keeps mucking things up. When they've tried and failed, over and over again, until they just want to quit. But then something happens. Something extraordinary. And now they can never go back to the way things were before.
They are changed forever.
That's the work I do for myself every single day. That's the work I do in my own family. And that's the work I want to do with you. I want to help you create healthy rituals. To create a new way of living each and every day.
Every single year I am blessed to realize the important role age plays in developing wisdom and clarity. My greatest education in the field of health and wellness has been, and will continue to be, life experience.
Along with consistently building my own knowledge. I am a Holistic Wellness Professional specializing in holistic nutrition, clinical herbalism and wellness coaching. A graduate of Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine, as well as a graduate of Hill College's Holistic Wellness Pathway. Beyond that, I also hold a degree in Business Administration and Human Resources.
Before you go, please consider subscribing to my newsletter. You'll gain access to health and wellness content that I only share with subscribers, and receive info about future publications and programs as they are developed.

Before you buy anything, you need to know its market value. Many things we know by heart: A cup of coffee runs between $1-2, a gallon of milk about $2-3, and a movie ticket is between $8-12.
For other things, you may need to do a little research to be sure you're not getting ripped off. Five minutes on the Internet can usually give you a ballpark value on almost anything.
Once you've established the market price, you need to figure out how much of a price reduction you might ask for. The discount depends on the type of product, its abundance, and when you need it.
When shopping for manufactured goods (for example, cars, electronics, or tools), 10 percent is a good discount, and 20 percent is great. With household goods (such as furniture, appliances, and carpet) you can try for an additional 10 percent.
The deepest discounts come on services (hotels, broadband, and lawn care), where you can often get price reductions as high as 40 percent if you're willing to pay cash, bundle services, and/or commit long term. Read the entire article.

I've had a blog on Serendipity since 2004. At that time I chose Serendipity as my platform because I'd had a bad experience with WordPress (it lost my database) and I wanted something different. I was pretty happy with Serendipity for a long time. However I get the feeling (I hope wrongly) that development has slowed at present, particularly as regards themes and plugins. This made me think it was time to start looking for an alternative.
When I did this I found that things have changed a lot since 2004. In fact, Serendipity seems to be just about the last man standing when it comes to self-hosted blogging platforms, which is what WordPress was in 2004. It has now become something more ambitious, a Content Management System (CMS), which includes blogging as one of its components, though admittedly an important one.
I wasn't keen on installing a CMS at first but after about two weeks' experimenting with other possibilities I've come to the conclusion that WordPress is the best solution for me. So that's why I've started this new blog.
That doesn't mean my Serendipity blog will disappear. It's difficult or impossible to migrate material from Serendipity to WordPress so I shall keep my previous blog available indefinitely (it gets a number of hits every day). You can comment on earlier posts there but new posts will only appear here.

The Plan
Our Solid Waste Implementation Plan (or SWIP) outlines the work we plan to do over the next five years in order to align our work with the state of Vermont's Materials Management Plan. The SWIP was approved by both the CVSWMD Board of Supervisors and the State of Vermont in May, 2015. The SWIP was revised and approved by the State of Vermont in October 2016 for the following reasons: vote by the Town of Duxbury to join CVSWMD (July 26, 2016) and adoption of a new CVSWMD Solid Waste Management Ordinance (August 1, 2016). The SWIP enables us to meet state requirements for implementing Universal Recycling (Act 148) in our region. Click on the link below to download a copy of the SWIP.

Can the Socceroos beat Serbia in FIFA World Cup 2010?
The Australian Qantas Socceroos is in a must-win situation in order to advance to the next round as they face Serbia in Nelspruit tomorrow 4:30 a.m. Australian time. Currently, the team is sitting at the bottom of the Group D Standing with only a point on their pocket. I've been watching every game of the Socceroos and I'm a bit disappointed (not whining) when two Socceroos players were red-carded. Their 4-0 loss against Germany was a dismal performance aggravated by the fact that one of their star player Tim Cahill being penalized with a red card. However, with their a galant fight against Group D's leading team, Ghana with that match ended in a 1-1 draw, the hope to advance in the next round is much alive!
Australia Socceroos vs Serbia
Kick-off commences at 04:30 (AEST) on Thursday 24 June.
Socceroos fight is not only limited on the field. They are also battling cricism from mainstream media. In a related Reuter story, Australia captain Lucas Neill reacted angrily on Tuesday to suggestions that his team were a "bunch of whingers". The Australians have been criticised by some sections of the local media for complaining about some of the refereeing decisions that have gone against them at the World Cup.
Be that as it may, the fight must still go on! An article at the FIFA.com website reported Australia captain Lucas Neill has vowed to fight to the end to keep his country's FIFA World Cup™ dream alive. That's the Aussie spirit! The fact the Socceroos qualified to the World Cup is already an outstanding accomplishment. While the Socceroos have the odds stacked against them against Serbia, they have a 50-50 chance of winning against Serbia! After all the soccer ball is round and anyone from team can score a goal after goal! Go Socceroos!!!
The Qantas Socceroos Team:
- Mark Bresciano
- Tim Cahill
- Carl Valeri
- Dario Vidosic
- Brett Holman
- Joshua Kennedy
- Mark Milligan
- David Carney
- Craig Moore
- Scott Chipperfield
- Luke Wilkshire
- Lucas Neill -Team Captain
- Adam Federici

Two graduates have set up a company that aims to boost access to elite universities by employing doctoral students to give tutorial style master-classes to bright students at underprivileged schools.
Simon Coyle and Jonathan Sobczyk are both former Teach First ambassadors and left their teaching careers to start the Brilliant Club in March 2011.
Thus far the programme has 36 confirmed secondary school programmes and is in the first stages of exploring expansion into working with primary schools. The programme has also been awarded a grant by the Sutton Trust, which told Cherwell it was impressed by the "clearly defined and compelling proposal." The Trust is optimistic about the "real potential for impact and scalability", raising "aspirations and attainment" by utilising the "largely untapped resource" of PhD students.
The company's stated goal is to increase the representation of underprivileged students at top universities. 48% of privately educated students are able to gain a place at an elite institution but this number drops to 18% among state-school pupils and falls to only 2% among students qualifying for free school meals.
The Brilliant Club hopes to raise the aspirations of talented students at underprivileged schools and boost their chances of gaining a place at a top university. The PhD students are paid for each class they teach, which Coyle has stated will encourage accountability and ensure that the scheme is not based merely on "grace and favour". Schools are also charged for each set of tutorials.
The group is currently focused in London and has recently reached an agreement to start a 'partner university' scheme with King's College University.

I'm eating a plate full of chips, pie and broccoli with so much ketchup on top of it all. Just because I can't stop pressing that fucking tube.
When placing a piece of broccoli, covered in ketchup, into my mouth, I imagine it's a dead caterpillar; it's overcooked and tastes soft. Then I have a chip resembling an empty dried insect – crunchy ends, and another hollow leftover cocoon. Ketchup. Ketchup makes it all bearable. As I cut the pie open, a great number of lifeless maggots gush out, all covered in white mold or spores. Intermingling with the ketchup. I squeeze more ketchup on top and again I can't stop pressing that fucking tube. Ketchup covers everything. Ketchup covers everything up. I take a mouthful. And another. And another.
There is blood running down the side of my mouth, I must've bitten my lip.

If you didn't know that the synthetic version only contains one of the eight parts of the vitamin, then you definitely need to read this.
It was named Vitamin E, or the antisterility vitamin in 1924 and alpha-tocopherol, one fraction of that complex, was first made in 1938.
It's primary role is as an antioxidant, where the vitamin binds to free radicals and renders them harmless. It's also thought gamma tocopherol plays a role in protecting against chronic inflammatory diseases as well.
It's the most prevalent vitamin in the body, even with 60-70% of your vitamin E being excreted daily through the faeces.
The synthetic form is one of the tocopherols only, alpha tocopherol.
Even worse, the synthetic version is mixed with alcohol to stabilise it (called esterification) to prevent oxidisation. It's then called d-alpha-tocopherol and is a chemical derivative of soybean oil.
Now, let me ask you this.
If the vitamin's primary role is as an antioxidant, but it has been "stabilised" to prevent oxidisation, is it still fulfilling it's purpose?
I doubt it.
Even worse, the synthetic version is only giving you one of the eight known components (although vitamin E naturally occurs with selenium and other vitamins).
If you want to go down the total chemical route, there is an even more refined version called dl-alpha-tocopherol that is extremely cheap and forms the main component of the lower end vitamin E ranges.
The natural (whole) version will come from carefully refined wheat germ oil and dehydrated vegetables like pea plants.
My suggestion – either "go whole" or go home.
There is small chance that you will be lacking in gamma-tocopherol, which is very common in the western diet. You are also unlikely to develop a severe diet-related deficiency unless you have a disease that affects fat absorption.
However, many people are at sub-optimal levels of all eight of the main components and even if the deficiency isn't showing now, it can take 10-20 years to show up after the imbalance starts.

Winter Fashion 2015 – Staying Warm In The City!
It's 2015 you guys and we're ready to start the year, but we need to look fashionable while doing it, right? Of course!
No matter if you're running errands in the city, going on a date night or planting seeds in the garden, I always feel that fashion adds confidence, so I love playing around with it. Below are some of my favorite Winter 2015 fashion pieces, perfect for staying warm!
Winter Coats
Probably the most important piece for your Winter closet is a good Winter Coat. First, the coat needs to be warm and protect you from the elements. Second, the coat needs to be warm… oh did I mention that already? It's important for NYC Winters! Third, it needs to look good! Coats come in all lengths, all materials and all colors so I wanted to give a good variety.
The Sporty Everyday Look
The North Face perfects the combination of comfort, warmth and style. I wear my North Face for everyday wear to work, to the grocery store, to the garden and almost everything in between. I love my Thermoball Parka because it's the perfect length. Short coats don't keep me warm enough in the Winter, so the extra coverage is important. Besides that, it has a hood (must have) and comes in my favorite Winter color – black. Is it warm? You betcha! Thermoball synthetic insulation has the warmth equivalent of 600-fill down. It's incredibly lightweight but yet retains the heat, meaning it's my favorite coat in the Winter! And for social media lovers, it has a internal media pocket, perfect for slipping your phone in.
