Below you will find facts about your indoor air quality that is effected by MOLD, LEAD, RADON, ALLERGENS & MORE.
Molds are simple, microscopic organisms whose purpose in the ecosystem is to break down dead materials. Molds can be found on plants, dry leaves, and on just about every other organic material. Some molds are useful, such as those used to make antibiotics and cheese.
Some molds are known to be highly toxic when ingested, such as the types that invade grains and peanuts. Most of the mold found indoors comes from outdoors.
Molds reproduce by very tiny particles called spores. The spores are very light and can float in on the air currents and find a suitable spot to grow. If mold spores land on a suitable surface, they will begin to grow.
Molds need three things to thrive- moisture, food and a surface to grow on. Molds can be seen throughout the house, and can be found in most bathrooms. Mold growth can often be seen in the form of discoloration, and can appear in many colors- white, orange, pink, blue, green, black or brown. When molds are present in large quantities (called colonies) they can cause health problems in some people.
Who Does Mold Affect?
Mold spores can cause adverse reactions, much like pollen from plants and some molds are more hazardous than others. They can cause health problems when they become airborne and are inhaled in large quantities. Although everyone is exposed to mold in some concentration in the outdoor air, indoor exposure to molds is not healthy for anyone. In particular, people with allergies, existing respiratory conditions or suppressed immune systems are especially susceptible to health problems from mold exposure. Additionally, infants and children, pregnant women and the elderly can be sensitive to the effects of mold exposure. For some people, a small number of mold spores can cause health problems, whereas for others, it may take many more.
What Are Symptoms of Mold Exposure?
There are many symptoms of mold exposure and the severity of the symptoms depends on the sensitivity of the exposed person. Allergic reactions are the most common and typically include: respiratory problems such as wheezing and difficulty breathing; nasal and sinus congestion; burning, watery, reddened eyes or blurry vision; sore throat; dry cough; nose and throat irritation; shortness of breath; and skin irritation.
Other less common effects are: nervous system problems (headaches, memory loss, and moodiness); aches and pains; and fever. If you have any of these symptoms, and they are reduced or completely gone when you leave the suspect area, chances are you have been exposed to some sort of allergen, quite possibly mold.
How Can I Tell if I Have Mold in My Home?
Some mold problems are obvious- you can see it growing, others are not so obvious. If you can see mold, or if there is a musty odor in your home, you probably have a mold problem. Areas that are wet, or have been wet due to flooding, leaky plumbing, leaky roofing, or areas that are humid (such as bathrooms and laundry rooms) are most likely to have mold growth. Look for previous water damage.
Visible mold growth may be found underneath wallpaper and baseboards, behind walls, or may be evident by discolored plaster or drywall. If you don't have any observable mold, but are experiencing symptoms likely to be mold-induced, the mold could be growing in areas you can't see, such as the ducts of a heating/cooling system. In this case, the only way to know if you have mold spores is to test.
Many home inspectors or Industrial Hygienists can conduct air sampling to detect the presence of these spores in your home. If you have obvious mold, you can conduct a swab test that can be analyzed to determine the molds that are present. Testing is the only way to determine if you have a mold problem and what type it is. Take a copy of the laboratory report along with you when you visit your doctor or allergist. This will aid in determining a method of treatment.
What Should I Do If I have Mold?
The first course of action is to determine why the mold is growing. Investigate any areas that are moist, and repair the source of the moisture. There could be a roof or plumbing leak, or groundwater leaking into your basement. Your air conditioning drip pan could have mold growing in it or your air duct system could be contaminated with mold. If you see mold in your laundry room, chances are that your dryer is not properly vented to the outside.
Clothes dryers generate humidity and should never be vented inside the house. Mold will grow on any surface that provides moisture and food. Substances that are porous and can trap molds, such as paper, rags, wallboard and wood, should be thrown out. After you have made all the repairs, it is time to clean. Use the following pointers:
· Mix a household cleaner that does not contain ammonia with hot water and scrub affected areas before sanitizing with a bleach solution that is 10% bleach and 90% water.
· Wear gloves when handling moldy materials. If you are sensitive to mold, you may wish to wear a particulate-removing respirator or facemask. Also wear protective clothing that is easily cleaned or may be discarded.
· Hard, non-porous materials can be cleaned with a solution of bleach and water, 10% bleach to 90% water. Use a sponge or cloth to wipe the area clean. Never mix bleach with other cleaning products; it can produce a toxic gas! It is important to clean thoroughly because if you leave some mold behind, the spores will be easily released back into the air when the material dries out.
· Remove porous materials such as ceiling tiles, carpeting and sheetrock (drywall) and dispose of them. They are nearly impossible to clean and will surely produce more spores when dry.
· If mold is the result of flooding, remove all drywall to at least 12 inches above the high water mark. Visually inspect the interior of the walls to ensure that you removed all contaminated drywall.
· Allow the area to dry for 2-3 days after cleaning and sanitizing with the bleach solution.
· Use a stiff brush to remove mold from block walls or uneven surfaces.
· Have family members or bystanders leave the area while cleaning or abatement is being done.
How Can I Keep Mold From Damaging My Home?
Remove water damage as soon as it is noticed.
Dr. John C. Weicher, the Federal Housing Commissioner has issued a radon gas and mold Notice (H 2004-08) requiring that a release agreement (HUD-9548-E) be included in all sales contracts for HUD-acquired single family properties. The agreement notifies purchasers of the potential health problems caused by exposure to radon and some molds.
Lead dust is especially dangerous to children and also to women who are, or wish to become, pregnant. Most houses built before 1978 contain some lead-based paint. Lead-based paint is not dangerous if it is properly cared for. However, when lead-based paint deteriorates, chalks or is disturbed during remodeling, repainting or routine maintenance, it creates an invisible, tasteless and odorless toxic lead dust.
Most cases of lead poisoning are caused by exposure to this dust. Even such seemingly harmless acts as opening or closing a window, or rubbing a door jamb, are enough to create and release significant levels of poisonous lead dust.
Lead dust settles on floors and other surfaces where children play. It gets on their hands and toys, and ends up in their mouths. Slowly and without noticeable symptoms, they are poisoned.
Many homeowners unknowingly contaminate their homes when they remodel or repaint rooms that contain lead-based paint. Even though homeowners may be careful to remove paint chips, they don't realize that as they sand and scrape, lead dust is being created. That lead dust is easily spread throughout the home on their shoes, clothing and on air currents.
Pets are also highly susceptible to lead poisoning from lead contaminated dust. They pick it up on their fur and paws, and then ingest it while grooming themselves. Because of their relatively small body size, it doesn't take much lead to poison a dog or cat.
What Are Some Sources of Lead Exposure?
Urban soil and dust (deposits from paint, gasoline and industrial sources)
Soil can become contaminated when exterior lead-based paint flakes, chalks or peels and gets into the soil. Homes near certain industries such as smelters or lead-acid (automotive) battery manufacturers may have lead in the soil due to close proximity to those operations. Use of leaded gasoline in America has left behind deposits of lead in much of the nation's soil. Children often play in this soil, which is easily tracked into the home.
Drinking water (leached from lead pipes, solder, service lines and brass fixtures)
Lead contaminates drinking water primarily through corrosion of plumbing materials. As surprising as it sounds, some brand new faucets, new solder and new brass fittings can leach more lead than old ones. Although lead solder was outlawed for use in drinking water systems in 1986, it is still widely available for other uses and can be found in any hardware store. Studies of newer homes indicate that lead solder is being used, even though it has been outlawed.
Over time, minerals build up inside the piping system and act as an insulator between the water and lead containing components. Therefore, lead levels in water from older homes may be lower than lead levels in water from newer homes. Additionally, some treatments, such as "shocking" (super chlorination) will clean out the piping system. This cleaning removes the mineral deposits, causing the water to be exposed to leaded components once again.
Vinyl miniblinds (lead is used as a plastic strengthener)
For many years, an estimated 25 million vinyl miniblinds containing lead were imported into the United States each year. The plastic in the blinds deteriorates from exposure to sunlight and forms lead dust.
Therefore, even homes without lead-based paint can be sources of lead exposure. Lead is dangerous because it is so easily overlooked, and many people are unaware that these hazards exist.
What Are Some Risks of Lead Poisoning?
Lead poisoning can keep your children from realizing their full potential.
Children are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning. Once in the body, lead interferes with the body's production of chemicals called neurotransmitters, that are necessary for proper brain functioning.
A child who has lead poisoning may not look or act sick. Early detection of lead hazards in your home is crucial to preventing lead exposure and poisoning. The ONLY way to detect lead is to test.
Even low levels of lead exposure, persisting throughout childhood, can slow normal development and be the root cause of the following problems:
Birth defects
Hyperactivity: Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
Lowered IQ
Behavioral problems
Learning disabilities
Women exposed to lead who become pregnant can pass lead directly to the developing baby.
· This exposure does not have to be recent. Pregnant women and women of childbearing age face the risk of passing lead to their unborn child, because lead is stored in the bones and tooth dentin for extended periods of time. Changes that occur in a woman's body during pregnancy result in the stored lead being released back into the blood stream. That lead can then pass across the placenta to the developing baby.
Lead exposure in pregnant women can cause:
Premature birth
Low birth weight
Under no circumstances should an expectant mother be involved in the repainting or renovation of a nursery (or any other room) if it is at all possible that lead paint is present. Scraping and sanding may cause elevated levels of lead dust, which put the mother and her unborn child at risk of lead exposure. A lead dust test should always be conducted at the completion of renovation.
Radon is a naturally occurring gas caused by the breakdown of uranium and radium-containing rock deposits in the earth's crust. Chronic exposure to radon can cause or contribute to lung cancer.
Where Does Radon in My Water Come From
As water moves through the ground, radon gas can be carried in the water to your tap. When well water is agitated at warm temperatures in the home, radon is released into the air. When you shower, bathe or simply run the tap, the radon in the water is liberated into the air, forming radon gas that can be inhaled. According to the EPA, radon levels in ground water are highest in New England and the Appalachian uplands of the Mid-Atlantic and Southern states. Certain areas around the Rocky Mountains, California, Texas and the upper Midwest also have elevated levels of radon in the ground water. These areas are most likely to have elevated radon in water levels, but radon in water can occur anywhere in the U.S.
How Do I Test for Radon in My Water?
Testing for radon in your water is actually quite simple. Simply contact your lab and obtain a testing kit. They will supply you with information and everything you need to take a water sample for radon analysis. You will receive special containers that you fill with water samples and ship to your lab. In a few days, the lab will send you a report detailing the radon content of your water.
If I Have Radon in My Water, What Should I Do?
Simple aeration removes up to 99% of radon from water. Radon is rarely a problem in public systems because the water is aerated during water treatment. Unfortunately, this does not occur in water being drawn from a private well. Aeration treatment equipment aerates the water, and then vents the gas to the outside. This treatment option requires that the gas be vented above the roof line; otherwise the gas may enter the home.
Another option is granular activated carbon filtration. In this type of treatment, the water is filtered through carbon which absorbs the radon. This type of filter requires relatively large amounts of carbon and a long contact time to be efficient. The carbon from a radon filtration system may have to be handled specially for disposal since the potential build up of radioactivity can make it hazardous.
What Are Biological Pollutants?
Biological pollutants are or were living organisms. They promote poor indoor air quality and may be a major cause of days lost from work or school, and of doctor and hospital visits. Some can even damage surfaces inside and outside of your house. Biological pollutants can travel through the air and are often invisible.
What Are Some Common Indoor Biological Pollutants?
· Animal dander (minute scales from hair, feathers and skin)
· Dust mite and cockroach parts
· Fungi (molds)
· Infectious agents (bacteria or viruses)
· Pollen
Some of these substances are in every home. It is impossible to get rid of them all. Even a spotless home may permit the growth of biological pollutants. Two conditions are essential to support growth: nutrients and moisture. These conditions can be found in many locations, such as bathrooms, damp or flooded basements, wet appliances (such as humidifiers or air conditioners), and even some carpets and furniture.
Modern materials and construction techniques may reduce the amount of outside air brought into buildings which may result in high moisture levels inside. Using humidifiers, unvented heaters, and air conditioners in our homes has increased the chances of moisture forming on interior surfaces. This encourages the growth of certain biological pollutants.
The Scope of the Problem
Most information about sources and health effects of biological pollutants is based on studies of large office buildings and two surveys of homes in northern U.S. and Canada. These surveys show that 30% to 50% of all structures have damp conditions which may encourage the growth and buildup of biological pollutants. The percentage is likely to be higher in warm, moist climates.
Some diseases and illnesses have been linked with biological pollutants in the indoor environment, however, many of them have unrelated causes. Therefore, we do not know how many health problems are a direct result of poor indoor air.
Health Effects of Biological Pollutants
All of us are exposed to biological pollutants, however, the effects on our health depend upon the type and amount of biological pollution and the individual person. Some people do not experience one or more of the following reactions:
· Allergic
· Infectious
· Toxic
Except for the spread of infections indoors, ALLERGIC REACTIONS may be the most common health problem with the indoor air quality in homes. They are often connected with animal dander (mostly from cats and dogs), with house dust mites (microscopic animals living in household dust), and with pollen. Allergic reactions can range from a simple flu-like symptom to mildly threatening, as in a severe asthma attack. Some common signs and symptoms are:
· Watery eyes
· Runny nose and sneezing
· Nasal congestion
· Itching
· Coughing
· Wheezing and difficulty breathing
· Headache
· Fatigue
Health experts are especially concerned about people with asthma. These people have very sensitive airways that can react to various irritants, making breathing difficult.
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is conducted primarily for the protection of the purchaser of a residential, rental or community property from assuming an unknown environmental risk. Many financial institutions are requiring this assessment prior to loan approval.
What are Phase I Elements?
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment determines, for a parcel of real estate, the "recognized environmental conditions." That is, the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of the substance(s) into structures on the property, or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property. It does this by accomplishing due diligence in:
Initial Components of an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Phase I
The first few steps in the process of an ESA are to evaluate the site that is to be investigated. After a review of the records and questionnaire supplied by the property owner, relevant records are to be collected on past and present activities regarding the site and neighboring sites that could be a contributing factor in an environmental concern.
Site Inspection
During a site inspection, the reviewer looks for site activities or uses which pose a high potential for environmental contamination. These "red flag" items include:
· Storage tanks (underground and above ground)
· Water wells (domestic, agricultural or industrial)
· Waste water systems
· Drums or chemical storage areas
· Ponds or surface impoundments
· Maintenance or shop areas
· Sumps or storm drains
· Stained soil or pavement
· Transformers
· Piles of waste or trash
· Dead or dying vegetation
· Unusual odors
If any of these "red flags" are observed, further evaluation may be needed to determine if a problem exists.
In order to determine current and past site practices, interviews with persons familiar with the site are extremely valuable. Property owners, site managers, former employees, neighbors or local area officials can often provide useful information.
Historical Record Review
Review the use and improvements made to the site by conducting a title search, interviewing past and present owners, neighbors, and anyone else who may have knowledge of the history of the property such as building inspectors, health inspectors and assessors.
Review records, permits and licenses that give information on what has been built or installed on the property. This includes building, zoning, planning, sewer, water, fire, environmental and other department records that would have information on or have an interest in the property and neighboring properties.
Investigate the subject property and neighboring properties with regard to the EPA's National Priority List or Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Information System (CERCLIS) List and similar state lists showing known locations of hazardous waste sites.
Analyze aerial photographs to determine the construction or destruction of buildings and the existence of ponds and disposal areas on the property over time.

ECR Link and the Benefits It Offers for Your Business
Moka ECR Link (Electronic Cash Register Link) is a feature found on Moka POS to process payments by debit/credit cards through GoBiz PLUS devices.
With this feature, the cashier does not need to enter the amount that needs to be paid and the type of card used by the customer manually into the EDC machine. The payment amount and card type have been integrated, and are automatically input to Moka POS. Ultimately, the nominal amount that appears is guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
In comparison, outlets without the ECR feature still need to input the payment amount and card type manually into Moka POS. This condition creates the risk of incorrect input and also takes more time to process transactions.
Here's a comparison between outlets with and without Moka's ECR Link:
|Using ECR Link
|Without ECR Link
|Registering EDC
|Requesting for EDC can be done through Moka POS
|Requesting for EDCs need to be done through various banks according to the EDC service providers
|Data Consolidation & Transaction Amount
|Automatically consolidated with Moka POS
|Not automatically consolidated and needs to be tagged manually in Moka POS
|Accuracy of Revenue Data
|100% Accurate
|Not 100% Accurate
|Operational Impact to Cashier
|Easier to use
Cashier does not need to manually input the transaction amount on the EDC and only has to choose the payment method using GoBiz Plus
|Less easy to use
Cashier needs to manually input the transaction amount and the customer's payment card's number on the EDC and on Moka POS. This step is required to record the proof of transactions in case said transaction is not recorded properly in the EDC

Jurgen Klopp wants Steven Gerrard to replace him as Liverpool manager when he eventually leaves his post at Anfield.
Reds legend Gerrard is the current Rangers boss, and has guided the Glasgow club to second in the Scottish Premiership, three points behind bitter rivals Celtic.
Prior to managing in Scotland, Gerrard was in charge of Liverpool's Under-18s and worked underneath Klopp shortly after retiring.
And Klopp is confident that when his time comes to leave Liverpool - or he finds himself being sacked as the result of a bad run - Gerrard would do a good job at the reins at Anfield.
"Kenny and Stevie have both been a really big support from day one," Klopp told Four Four Two.
"Second, my position as a manager has nothing to do with the people around me. If Liverpool were to sack me tomorrow, then maybe Kenny would be the first choice to replace me, but they would probably bring Stevie down from Glasgow.
"If you ask who should follow me, I'd say Stevie. I help him whenever I can. If someone gets your job, it's not about them, it's about you not being good enough.
"I'm old enough to know that I give this job everything. I'm not a genius, I'm not perfect, but I give the club 100 per cent. If that's enough, great. If it's not, then it's just the problem of the situation."
Klopp has hinted he may retire from football when his contract expires at Liverpool. The German is tied down till 2022, and currently has no plans to sign an extension.

This weekend was a freaking roller coaster. Friday night Chad and I went on our second date since Remy was born. It was really nice. And super nice of a dear friend to watch the kiddos while we went out. But guess what? Our "date" was only an hour long — and not for lack of trying! We even ate slow! But we were both so exhausted that we just headed home to pick up the kiddos afterward.
On Saturday we went to our friends' daughters birthday party! We all had the best time! The kids were so tired that they actually slept for a half hour on the way home (that never happens). And seriously we were all in bed at 7:30.
And, this week I'm seriously headed for (another) breakdown. I kinda have a bit too much on my plate, work-wise this week. I know, I know… I'm not even working full-time. However, this week I'm working ALMOST full-time. And bringing the kiddos with me. We are all going to be worn out. Heck! I already am worn out and the week is just starting!
That being said, I'm grateful to have a job where I can bring my kiddos with me and not have to worry about childcare!
I'm content with our current almost Fall weather! Just the slight cooling off that we've had has been glorious! ?
I wish and hope that this chiropractor appointment we have for Remy helps her. We've been waiting ages to get her in (ok just three weeks). Girlfriend needs some help with sleep!
Happiness is a good meal and a happy family.

Hey everyone. If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know that I've been a bit absent lately. Basically, my dad has angiosarcoma. It's a really rare cancer of the blood vessels. A city the size of Pittsburgh sees two cases every ten years, roughly. It's certainly terminal, while he had some chemotherapy a few days ago, we won't know if it's helped at all for another week or so, and if it works, it'll give him another few weeks to months at best. It came on really fast: he felt some shortness of breath the first week of February, went into the hospital in week three, by week four he almost died from a blood vessel bursting due to weakness from the disease.
Anyway, you all have sent me tons of well-wishes and such over the last week, and it's truly appreciated. It's nice to know that I have support, as I try to support my family. I'm the oldest son, so that carries a lot of responsibilities, and you guys have helped me a lot.
However, if I can ask you for one more thing…
My dad turns 54 on Sunday. My aunt told my mom that for his birthday, she's going to email everyone she knows, ask them to send him a birthday card, and she's hoping to get 100. I think that's a pretty awesome idea, but I also happen to know that while I've mentioned to my dad that 'people on the internet I know send well-wishes,' I think it'd be super awesome to blow my aunt out of the water and give my dad a zillion cards for his last birthday.
So yeah, if you have a few minutes this week, and you're thinking of my father, send a birthday card to my house. Here's the address:
note: Five years later, I've removed the address. I haven't lived there in years, please don't see this now and send mail to some random person kthx.
Oh yeah: My dad is also Steve. I'm not a junior because he has no middle name: his mother said they were too poor to give him one.
Additionally, I mean April 1. That's his birthday. However, if you live far away and it'll be a bit late, that's perfectly fine, still send one. I think that 'oh, this card came from so far away that it took some time' is pretty awesome in its own way.
I really think this would be an awesome last gift to my dad. One of the worst things about being in the hospital is that you feel cut off from everything outside of that room, and while I've spent almost every minute of the last 8 days in there with him, keeping your spirits up helps the healing process quite a bit.
Thanks. <3 <3 <3

Puja Mehra wrote an excellent breakdown of the Narendra Modi government's economic performance of the last four years, the duration for which it has been in office. You should read it if you're interested in this sort of thing (and you should be).
However, the article's layout bothers me:
1. The references are listed at the end instead of in-line. The former is a vestige of print publishing, where it's not possible to display layered text, so printers listed a citation in the page's footer, or at the end of each chapter, for those would need to refer to it. In-line references, on the other hand, are far more convenient because they don't require the reader to jump across the page, or pages, to find the citation; it's inserted proximate to the claim itself.
2. For all the numbers, and the "empirical analysis" that the article is being lauded for, there's not a single chart in it.
The first issue in particular is something I sense a lot of people conflate with "serious" and "solemn": an article laid out such that it meets print's publishing standards, which have been improvised over hundreds of years, and as if not concerned about digital publishing, which has been around in its current form for less than a decade.
Another concern is whether the publisher of Mehra's article, The Hindu Centre for Politcs and Public Policy, is tracking the number of people whose eyeballs rest on the references portion of the page for a (statistically) significant period and the number of people who click on the links. (Of course, there's a qualitative funnel here whereby a reader clicks a reference not to verify if it contains the claim to which it has been attached but to learn.
Excluding these people) I suspect a majority of readers will rest easier knowing that a specific claim _has been_ referenced ("blah blah gurgle nyah21"), and not bother to validate it themselves. That's how we all read Wikipedia: we trust the platform to have robust rules for maintaining reliability and we trust volunteers to want to apply those rules.
When we take the existence as well as trustworthiness of this relationship for granted, we sow the seeds for a meta-design to take effect on the page we're reading: where the mere presence of certain elements encourages us to interpret the substance on the page in this way or that. Put another way, because of its ubiquity and its heritage, print publushing brings with it an attendant set of processes that must be followed before a book, article, review, etc. can be published. When the published content contains symbols that suggest these processes have been followed, we assume due diligence has been done on the publisher's part to check and prepare the content (especially since words once printed can't be unprinted).
What's curious here is that we believe we can trust an article more if it contains these symbols _irrespective_ of whether it has been published offline or online. For example, when you see a superscripted [?] next to a claim on Wikipedia ("blah blah gurgle[?] nyah"), your mind immediately works to discard it from memory (at least mine does) – in much the same way I sit up and pay more attention when I read an article is laid out in two columns on the page with references strewn around it, because it's likely a scientific paper.
Similarly, detecting the presence of such meta-design markers on Mehra's article and trusting in the validity of the substance of those markers, we're encouraged to conclude that the article is trustworthy and reliable. I would be interested in any scientific studies conducted to determine the strength of this encouragement and how readers' impression of the article changes as a result, measured the extent of the article they've already read.

Reimagining the Future of Design Education
Alex Wright, Etsy and Carnegie Mellon School of Design
Erica Dorn, Managing Director, The Good Work Institute
Interaction designers shape the everyday experiences of billions of people across the planet. Yet for all their reach and influence, many practicing designers nonetheless struggle to incorporate long-term time horizons into their work. In an age of big data, A/B testing and Lean/Agile methods, those challenges are growing more pronounced as designers often find themselves working in environments that tend to prioritize short-term, measurable outcomes over more complex, systemic concerns.
While most IxD practitioners espouse the humanist values of empathy and customer-centeredness that are the hallmarks of good experience design, the profession's sometimes narrow focus on "the user" can also work against weighing the broader social, political, and environmental effects of the work they do.
How might interaction designers embed more sustainable, long-term perspectives into their work? What kinds of organizational and/or economic pressures prevent them from doing so? And how could futuring and forecasting methods help us begin to envision a set of alternative futures for interaction design education? Those are some of the questions we invited participants to explore in this three-hour workshop at the 2018 IxDA Education Summit.
Building on a foundational body of work drawn from the fields of alternative economics and futuring, we set out to introduce a set of frameworks and tools to help a group of 20 designers and educators begin to embed longer-term thinking in their practices, and explore how they might develop more ownership of their own work experience and its impact on the world.
Given the context of this workshop taking place at the IxDA Education Summit, we also wanted to challenge participants to apply some of these methods in real time to identify and explore a set of long-term trends that could shape the future of interaction design education.
As a first step, we introduced participants to a set of overview material on alternative economics, focusing the conversation around how we think about value creation in the context of Ethan Roland's Eight Forms of Capital model.
By giving participants a brief exposure to the field of alternative economics, we hoped to begin offering a new vocabulary and set of framing tools to help them explore the possibilities of re-envisioning project goals in non-monetary terms. For those interested in probing further on this topic, we'd also recommend Paul Mason's Post-Capitalism, E.F. Schumacher's seminal Small Is Beautiful, and a more extended reading list through Good Work Institute.
Next, we began to introduce a set of tools drawn from the world of futuring studies. Over the past three decades, professional futurists have made great headway in introducing techniques like forecasting and scenario planning to senior leaders in many organizations. But these efforts have remained largely confined to the executive suite, often inaccessible to design practitioners. Recently, futurists like Stuart Candy have begun to create tools for "experiential futuring" that bridge contemporary design practice with established forecasting methods.
Exercise 1: The Thing From the Future
In our first collaborative exercise, the group engaged in a modified version of The Thing From The Future, a game developed by Stuart Candy and colleagues at the Situation Lab to stimulate participants to engage in exploratory futuring exercises.
The deck consists of three types of cards, which can then be laid out to form one-sentence provocations that take the following form:
"In a _____ future, there is a _____ related to _____."
For example:
"In a global future, there is a law related to water."
"In a feminist future, there is a tattoo related to aging."
"In a ridiculous future, there is a ritual related to food."
Exercise 2: Scenario Planning
In this exercise, we challenged participants to work together in teams to explore a range of possible outcomes for design education by conducting a scenario planning exercise modeled after Jay Ogilvy's planning matrix model which allows participants to frame their thinking by mapping out the interactions between a set of critical uncertainties.
As a group we brainstormed a set of potential uncertainties that might influence the future trajectory of design education. A few themes that emerged from these discussions:
- Ethics are becoming more embedded in design practice (but we don't want "ethics" to become the new "empathy!")
- The growing specialization of design practices (e.g., designing for AI, voice, embedded interactions) vs. the need to create well-rounded generalists capable of adapting to the future
- The trend towards self-paced online learning, raising questions about the role of credentialing institutions like universities and design schools
- The changing role of design educators; could/should they become more like career coaches who have more ongoing relationships with practitioners rather than serving as skill providers
- The growth of cross-disciplinary practices (e.g., design thinking becoming an established component of business school and engineering education), and the potential risks of dissolution / blurring of the disciplines
Using these inputs as a starting point for discussion, we honed in a set of uncertainties that seemed most critical/actionable, and began to map them out for further discussion. Ultimately, we settled on the trend towards self-paced learning and the growth of disciplinary specialization as two useful matrices to begin using for a scenario planning exercise.
During our workshop exercise, we split the participants into four groups, each of which tackled one of the four quadrants. Below is a condensation of the themes and outcomes we identified during the exercise:
Reflections and next steps
Looking ahead, we hope to build on the work from the IxDA Education Summit to continue prototyping this curriculum in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon School of Design and the Good Work Institute. As a next step, we'll be offering a revised version of this curriculum in a situated learning environment at Etsy (where Alex works), in hope of continuing to iterate on the form of the workshop and ultimately making it more widely available in open-source form.
As part of this exploration, we hope to continue probing on some of these questions:
- What cultural factors outside the boundaries of an organization militate for or against certain types of horizons?
- How can an internally focused program of research avoid the consumerist trap of self-improvement? How might we connect systems-level thinking with self-reflection on personal values and meaningful work? How might we probe on the "fidelity gap" between individuals' self-expressed values and their actions and behaviors? How might this program offer a framework to align and integrated expressed personal values within complex systems that create more meaningful work.
- How could an educational program like this create opportunities to consider much longer-term ethical concerns affecting the well-being of future generations?
Ultimately, any theory of change to emerge out of this research will hinge on the question of how personal, reflective modes of practice intersect with larger organizational, social, and political systems; and measuring the extent to which a program of professional education can serve as a useful intervention to address the wider-angle concerns of transition design. By developing a theory of change for how practicing UX designers can effectively contribute to long-term positive or pro-social systemic outcomes, we hope to make a meaningful contribution to the future trajectory of interaction design education.

Out of all the major launches that automakers are preparing for 2021, one of the most important is undoubtedly the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser. An off-roading icon and the counterculture T-shirt wearing equivalent to the cardigan-wearing Land Rover family. The current-generation Land Cruiser has been on the scene for several years now, but it's starting to get long in the tooth, especially in the face of tightening fuel economy regulations and evolving rivals. As a result, Toyota has unveiled the 2022 model, bringing newfound vigor and new technology to the venerable full-size trail buster.
Bigger And Better Land Cruiser Comes With A Prominent Catch
So far, it seems like there could be nothing that can stand in the way of your Land Cruiser purchase, right? Wrong, with Toyota revealing that the United States will not be getting the model, with the outgoing one serving as our country's last taste of Land Cruiser magic. But if your willing to make the plane ride to the regions of the world where the 2022 Land Cruiser will be sold, you will like what it brings to the table for the new model year.
The exterior styling has been completely revamped, with the front fascia featuring all-new headlights and a reworked grille design that is more aggressive and assertive than the outgoing model. The long-rumored GR Sport variant moves the dial up a notch and comes with minor adornments that enhance its looks and contribute to functionality. The side profile is largely unchanged from the old model, with the rear styling smoothing out some of the rough edges and adding new taillights. The look allows the Land Cruiser to be brawny and modern at the same time, with the all-new TNGA platform bringing weight savings to the Land Cruiser. This platform is also slated for the 2022 Tundra pick-up and looks for similar gains in that model.
Technology Makes A Bigger Mark In Land Cruiser Interior
One of the glaring weaknesses that defined the Land Cruiser was its technology. The outgoing model did not offer much when it came to key pillar expectations like infotainment and comfort. The interior of the 2022 version eliminates this, and Toyota engineers have made massive changes to help bring it into the modern age. A 9.0-inch infotainment screen is the standard unit on hand, but buyers can opt for a larger 12.3-inch screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration is part of the package, and the SUV even comes equipped with a wireless phone charging pad.
A novel fingerprint ID system is coming to the Land Cruiser. At the same time, an air ionizer, an electronically adjustable steering wheel, and adaptive high beams are just some of the Lexus flavored luxuries that will be making their way to the Land Cruiser for the 2022 model year. In addition, Toyota's Safety Sense suite of driver assistance tech is also making its way to the Land Cruiser for 2022 with goodies such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and more.
Twin-Turbo V6 Loses Cylinders But Still Gains Plenty Of Power
However, the biggest change is found under the hood, with the 5.7 liter naturally aspirated V8 being retired. In its place is an all-new 3.5 liter V6 that produces 409 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. Of course, boost is king, and the increased boost helps the new V6 crank out an extra 30 hp compared with the outgoing V8. There's also 80 extra lb-ft of torque, and Tundra buyers should be taking notes since there's a good chance that this engine and the aforementioned figures will be carried over to the pickup intact.
Other regions of the world will also get a 3.3. liter turbodiesel, but the gas engine is arguably where the spotlight will shine the brightest, with the willing engine being mated to a 10-speed automatic, allowing the Land Cruiser to make the sprint to 62 mph in 6.7 seconds. Along with the boosted engine, the Land Cruiser is also boasting upgrades in other areas. That includes the adaptive variable suspension and an upgraded version of the familiar electronically controlled kinetic dynamic suspension stabilization system (E-KDSS.) In addition, an upgraded Multi-Terrain selector now has modes for Deep Snow and an Auto mode.
How Much Of The Land Cruiser's Technology Will Make It Stateside?
As mentioned, the Land Cruiser is not coming to the United States, but some of the inner workings are slated to come stateside. Many of them will end up in the 2022 Toyota Tundra, which will make its debut soon. With both of them already having an established history of borrowing parts from each other when needed, it would not be a major shock if this were to occur again.
The key pieces would include the 3.5 liter V6, some but not all of the off-road hardware, as well as some of the core interior pieces that make the 2022 Land Cruiser tick. Of course, we hope that Toyota will eventually reverse its decision and bring the Land Cruiser back to our shores, but in the meantime, we look forward to seeing some of this hardware come in a distinctly pickup-shaped wrapper.

President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un are potentially meeting in just two months — and a flurry of weekend activity was a reminder of how frenzied the last-minute preparations for a historic face-to-face are likely to be.
On Friday, Kim announced his country would no longer test nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles, which he used to threaten the world for much of 2017. Kim said his country didn't need to conduct more tests because he already knows how effective they are — which is scary.
On Sunday, Trump tweeted that Pyongyang agreed to dismantle its nuclear and missile programs so that it can never attack another country with them — but it hasn't. And nine hours later, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump plans to tell Kim his country must take concrete steps to scrap its programs before the US lifts any of the sanctions that have been battering its economy for years.
It looks like both leaders have already started to position themselves ahead of their encounter. That means both sides may play out the high-stakes negotiation in public before they actually meet in private.
If you missed any of it because you wanted to enjoy a North Korea-free weekend, don't worry. We've got you covered.
North Korea will stop testing nuclear weapons and long-range missiles
Kim shocked the world last Friday.
"From April 21, North Korea will stop nuclear tests and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles," the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported Kim decreeing. "The North will shut down a nuclear test site in the country's northern side to prove the vow to suspend nuclear test."
That's a potentially huge deal. Much of the animosity between Washington and Pyongyang last year grew because Kim tested very threatening weapons in 2017. Last September, Pyongyang tested its largest nuclear bomb to date, one that was seven times stronger than the weapon America dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. And last November, Kim tested a missile that could reach all of the United States.
Now, it seems, Kim feels satisfied his weapons are sufficiently powerful, but there is some mystery as to why. One possibility is that he now knows the strength of his weapons arsenal. Conducting more tests wouldn't tell him more than he already knows, but it would anger the US and its key regional allies South Korea and Japan — and he may think the gain doesn't outweigh the risk.
Second, the US-led campaign to impose increasingly strong economic and diplomatic pressure on Pyongyang — through stringent sanctions and global isolation — may have taken its toll. North Korea is an extremely impoverished country, but it spends about 22 percent of its funds to bankroll the military. Meanwhile, North Koreans live on about $1,700 a year.
Kim has made improving the economy one of his priorities. When he gained power in 2011, he outlined a strategy known as byungjin, or "parallel advance." The crux of the strategy was the dual, rapid improvement of North Korea's nuclear and economic prowess. But on Friday, Kim announced his regime would scrap that strategy for a "new strategic line," namely, rebuilding the North Korean economy. Redirecting resources from weapons to the economy — perhaps to improve the lives of everyday North Koreans — could form part of that effort.
And finally, Kim has an important meeting with Moon, South Korea's president, on Thursday. Both leaders will negotiate — and potentially sign — a peace treaty to end the Korean War. That conflict ended in an armistice in 1953, not a peace treaty, so the Koreas technically remain at war.
All parties to that war — including China and the United States — must sign a peace treaty for it to officially end, says Charles Armstrong, a professor of Korean history at Columbia University. Promising not to test any more weapons might make the Kim-Moon summit at the inter-Korean border a little calmer.
South Korea made its own conciliatory gesture on Monday by turning off loudspeakers at the inter-Korean border. Seoul stopped blaring K-pop — South Korea's world-famous brand of popular music (for example, "Gangnam Style") — into North Korea as a show of good faith before Kim meets Moon. Seoul uses that music as a propaganda tool to show it's more advanced than its northern neighbor. North Korea does something similar, although its music consists of less catchy propaganda tunes.
But let's be clear: North Korea could restart testing at any time, and Kim's statement doesn't say his country will never try out weapons again. So it's worth not getting too excited over this — even though some already have.
"North Korea suspending its nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missiles is a welcome move, but it's important for the president and others not to overstate its significance," Mintaro Oba, a former Obama State Department official who worked on North Korean affairs, told me.
Well ...
Trump said North Korea "agreed to denuclearization." That's not true.
Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Fake News NBC just stated that we have given up so much in our negotiations with North Korea, and they have given up nothing. Wow, we haven't given up anything & they have agreed to denuclearization (so great for World), site closure, & no more testing!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 22, 2018
Trump, apparently watching TV on Sunday morning, didn't like what Meet the Press host Chuck Todd said about North Korea.
"Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Fake News NBC just stated that we have given up so much in our negotiations with North Korea, and they have given up nothing," Trump tweeted. "Wow, we haven't given up anything & they have agreed to denuclearization (so great for World), site closure, & no more testing!"
There are two problems with that tweet (aside from the president attacking a journalist on social media).
First, North Korea hasn't agreed to denuclearization — that is, the complete dismantling of its nuclear program. In the same statement where Kim promised to pause testing weapons, Kim called his nuclear program a "powerful treasured sword," which shows just how much he values it.
But there's also little incentive for North Korea to give up its nuclear arsenal. The regime believes the US and South Korea plan to invade and topple its government, and having the ability to strike the US or its closest allies with a nuclear weapon serves as a clear deterrent against that outcome.
Kim is keenly aware of the relevant history. Iraq's Saddam Hussein persuaded much of the world that he had restarted his country's nuclear weapons program; he hadn't, but the boasts helped spark the 2003 invasion that drove him from power. In Libya, Muammar Qaddafi gave up his program to build closer ties to the West but was eventually ousted from power and killed by a mob.
And second, the US has given Kim a major concession: a meeting with Trump. Past American administrations knew how much North Korea wanted the prestige of meeting a US president, and viewed a summit as a prize Washington would only offer when Pyongyang acceded to its demands. But Trump flipped that on his head, agreeing in March to sit down with Kim in either late May or early June regardless of whether Kim actually showed any clear signs of dismantling his nuclear arsenal.
That's a big win for North Korea, as the regime wants to look like a legitimate power. Sitting down with the leader of the world's most powerful country is one way to do that — and all Kim had to do was suggest his country wouldn't test weapons anymore.
But what matters most is what both leaders actually talk about when they meet. It turns out some of the talking points have started to leak out.
Here's what Trump will tell Kim
On Sunday evening, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump will convey two major demands to Kim when they meet.
First, North Korea must dismantle its nuclear program very quickly. And second, Trump won't lift sanctions on Pyongyang until it has made substantial progress in that dismantling effort.
It's a bold move, but it makes some sense. In past negotiations, North Korea offered some concessions in exchange for economic relief but then backed out or cheated on a deal. Pyongyang is not particularly trustworthy, so Trump wants to see actual progress before he rewards the regime.
"When the president says that he will not make the mistakes of the past, that means the US will not be making substantial concessions, such as lifting sanctions, until North Korea has substantially dismantled its nuclear programs," a senior US official told the Journal.
Robert Manning, a Koreas expert at the Atlantic Council think tank, told me there are pros and cons to Trump's stance. "Trump is right to want to front-load a deal: big steps to dismantle and disable nuclear weapons and missiles in exchange for a significant rollback of sanctions." The problem, he continued, is the offer is "a nonstarter. Why would they unilaterally surrender and trust Trump to give them what they want?"
Trump may be aware of the risk, per another Sunday tweet, but he believes his predecessors should've made similar efforts.
....We are a long way from conclusion on North Korea, maybe things will work out, and maybe they won't - only time will tell....But the work I am doing now should have been done a long time ago!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 22, 2018
It's unclear how Kim will react to this offer if Trump proposes it in two months. But the North Korean leader's answer may influence how much Trump continues to try diplomacy instead of war to solve the nuclear problem.

2-(4-hloro-2-fluorophenylthio)benzaldehyde (IIa) was subjected to treatment with 1-methyl-4-piperidylmagnesium chloride and the resulting secondary alcohol IIIa was cyclized with sodium hydride to the title compound Ia. In this synthesis, two by-products were isolated and identified as compounds IV and VIa. Repeating the synthesis of compound Ib by a similar way led to isolation of Vb and VII. Reaction of thiosalicylic acid with (3-iodo-4-methoxyphenyl)acetic acid in boiling aqueous potassium hydroxide in the presence of copper gave the methoxy diacid IX which was demethylated with hydrogen bromide in acetic acid to the hydroxy diacid X. Heating with acetic anhydride afforded the title lactone acid VIII. Compound Ia is an almost noncataleptic neuroleptic with a rather low antidopaminergic activity in the test of influencing the dopamine turnover and metabolism in the rat brain striatum. The acid VIII showed some antiinflammatory activity in the test of carrageenan-induced edema of rat's paw.

Writing a book is only half the battle won. The other half leaves you at the mercy of literary agents, traditional publishers, distributors, reviewers and marketers. But writers need lose no heart because there's respite at hand, courtesy the phenomenon of self-publishing.
Let's look at top publishing solutions that can help you package and market your words to the widest possible audience.
It's a platform for new writers that allows bringing out a book at a reasonable fee for designing, formatting, printing and publishing. One can also publish books for free. It makes your book available for sale through Amazon.com.
It has enabled people in more than 225 countries to self-publish nearly two million publications via print, e-readers and tablet devices. It's available in six languages. The book is published for free, but distribution is limited to their site. However, one can get full distribution for a resonable fee.
It converts word files into ebook formats and distributes them globally to ebook etailers. They pay 85 per cent of the net profit to the authors for each book sold. The author also retains all rights and complete control of the book, its sampling, pricing, and promotion. Authors can even publish it elsewhere, if they like. Smashwords publishes the ebook for free. It provides the ebook a page on their website, and sells it there for free. It generates income through commissions from the sales of written works.
Aventine Press
It publishes the book with a few tweaks in the terms and conditions. They generally take pricing decisions based on the finished page count. They claim to be the fastest in layout, design and formatting among publishing companies, and in most cases the book is ready in three months.

When people defend the artistic qualities of fanfic, they often turn to classic literary comparisons. Shakespeare wrote fanfiction! So did Dante, more or less! It's technically true, but this argument doesn't reflect the reality of fanfic culture. Transformative fandom evolved in reaction to modern capitalism. It's not just about writing fresh stories based on pre-existing ideas.
Copyright law is one of the main reasons fanfic culture exists in its current form, with fans turning to homemade, non-profit media to fill the gaps in legally licensed canon. In the early, pre-internet era of fanfiction, when fans published their work in print fanzines, they were hemmed in by two recurring threats: crackdowns from copyright holders and censorship of sexual content. This continued onto platforms like LiveJournal and Tumblr, echoing the evolution of online censorship elsewhere.
In this video essay for the Daily Dot's Lost History of the Internet collection, we explore the way fandom has responded to outside pressures. To people who have lived through NSFW content purges on Instagram and Tumblr, fandom's early history can seem eerily familiar.
Back in the 1970s, when fanfic zines really began to take hold, fandom was crucial to the success of Star Trek as a franchise. Star Trek's creators benefited from (and celebrated!) fan culture, but certain content was inevitably frowned upon. While Kirk/Spock is now viewed as a foundational ship for queer fandom and slash fanfic as a genre, it was heavily policed at the time. Not just by homophobic Star Trek fans who objected to same-sex media, but by American obscenity laws.
During the fanzine era, queer fanworks were typically distributed in a clandestine manner to avoid prosecution. And some fandoms were more welcoming than others. When Star Wars exploded in the 1980s, Lucasfilm had a more hands-on approach than the people behind Star Trek—at one point publishing an open letter banning "homosexual expressions of love" in Star Wars zines. Obviously, fans kept publishing queer content, but this early crackdown may explain why slashfic about Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Lando Calrissian never became a fandom juggernaut like Kirk/Spock.
As internet culture began to solidify, so did the laws restricting what could and couldn't be published. As we explain in the video, the last 30 years have seen a constant cycle of fan creators finding new ways to distribute their work, only to be ejected by online platforms or penalized by moral panics. And as we know from ongoing conflicts about online censorship, the journey certainly isn't over.

Brand Logo Colour Should Be Specific or Not – The Overview
A brand logo colour can attract your customers more than anything. It is why most of the companies, and particularly a start-up, always spend some extra cash and time on brand logo designing. It is because colour has its effects on people's minds. Colours tend to influence the shopping pattern of buyers significantly by affecting their decision-making ability. Most customers consider colour as the most significant aspect of what they want to purchase. Logos can effectively persuade customers to buy your products or services by creating a sense of connection with the brand. Logo expands the brand acknowledgement as well as makes you outshine in the market. You must have noticed this in your shopping pattern too.
The initial introduction of your company's services and the product is shaped to a great extent by the brand logo colour would not be wrong to state that logos dominate the world of the economic market. You can begin by designing an extraordinary logo for the business.
Once you have thought about setting a unique design to represent your company in the business world, it becomes essential to think about the brand logo colour. Usually, companies tend to select a particular shade to represent the brand value of the business. Still, most of the brands prefer to register a black and white logo.
Importance of Choosing a Specific Brand Logo Colour
Our senses are sensitive to graphical figures to a considerable level, and the colour is considered to be the most significant characteristic in that reaction. They effectively pass on information, inspire feelings, and add grandness to everything related to it. It makes colour, a fantastic means for achieving success when you register your start-up venture. The logo design can significantly influence your company's growth if they blend well with the brand logo colour and the patterns and text
- If you are registering your brand logo for the first time, then it is advisable to go with a logotype format that has letter/s only. Logotype can be modified to any font shape or size if needed. You can register the design of the brand logo along with the logotype, or you can do it after you have registered the logotype.
- If you choose to file your company trademark with a particular pattern of colours or shades or a combination of both, then it will get registered in that pattern only. Furthermore, the use of some specific colour combinations may be subjected to be used under the law.
- Try to design a black and white brand logo colour to register for the first time. Later, you can add richness to the logo if you register again. However, two registries of the logo can turn out to be expensive for new ventures. Some big brands chose not to associate their brand logos with any particular colour like Apple and Google.
- In India, it is allowed to register a black and white logo even if you have already filed for a coloured logo. It is usually done to reserve the company logo if any lawsuit is filled for any specific colour used.
- While promoting your business in the Indian commercial market, you need to keep in mind that the nation has people from different cultures and beliefs. Make the selection of colour pattern for the Indian market accordingly. People often relate colours and patterns with the brand and product value.
- It is highly advisable to analyze the effects of the colour logo on your business and consumers. You can do thorough research to check if your consumers connect easily with any specific colour scheme.
- If you are determined to use a particular brand logo colour, then you need to act smartly. Set an aim to make the public believe that the product you deliver is connected with that colour in a real sense. You can incorporate the colour into your product design or packaging.
Get your brand logo registered with the Trade Marks Act. Initially, try to fill for a black and white logo. Once the public begins to recognize your brand through its logo, you can move ahead with colour registration with the trademark.
It is also important to note that there are frequent changes in the registration of a colour trademark every year. It is permitted only when the owner of the brand is the source of his product or service. These changes must be distinguishable from his competitors too.
Here are some limitations about brand logo colour as per Section 10 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999:
- A trademark can be wholly or partially be limited to any combination of colours. This limitation can be taken into consideration to decide the character of the trademark.
- If a trademark is registered without any colour limitation, it shall be deemed for all colours in the logo.

Defining Success for A Novel
How do you define success for a novel? I expect the answer differs for readers and authors, but maybe not as much as you would think.

After months of worry and anticipation, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades has a cover! And may I say, in my humble opinion, it is stunning!

It's only upon closer inspection that you notice her hands are tearing out … Continue reading Cover Reveal: Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

Child's xenophobia is widely spready in Azerbaijan. Here are few examples where kids express their intolerance towards Armenia.
Hello world, my name is Arzu. I am the voice of the future generation of Azerbaijan. I have a message for Armenian terrorists. You have killed the innocent children of Azerbaijan and you are proud of it. You are happy to see Azerbaijani children murdered. But not a single child killed by Armenian vandal-terrorists is dead. They are all alive – these children live in me and in every soul of the future strong Azerbaijani generation.
Look at me carefully. You are now looking into the faces of innocent murdered children. Thanks to our beloved President Ilham Aliyev, a strong, educated and patriotic generation is developing in Azerbaijan, who is ready to give its life for its homeland. We will worthily continue the bright path of grandfather Heydar and our President Ilham Aliyev, whom you are very afraid of, because he will return all the occupied lands to the last square centimetre.
Azerbaijan, headed by our commander-in-chief, is already restoring not only the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, but justice in general. Karabakh is Azerbaijan! And we, in turn, are the future guarantee of this statement.
Ps. While claiming rights to the occupied territory by numerous mentions that Armenians killed poor children, the girl Arzu wears a shirt from Burberry brand that costs a half of the average salary in Azerbaijan.
I would like to appeal to the whole world, and especially to the Armenians. My name is Mubariz. I think this name has been familiar to you for a long time. Stop shedding the blood of innocent people. Especially small children. Your actions are terror over civilians. Karabakh is not your land. Stop before it's too late. And we are fighting for our native lands. As our President Ilham Aliyev said, "Karabakh is Azerbaijan!"
Video extract show father with his two kids. He wants all Armenians to die in a very rude form. Then the kids start repeating
