Wrapping up 2020 in Solution Set
I'm ready for 2021.
I had big goals for Solution Set in 2020, but like seemingly everything else, this year forced me to change my plans. We published on a fairly erratic schedule this year, but starting in January, we'll be back in your inbox on a regular basis.
However, I'm still figuring out what exactly that will look like. That's where I need your help. I created a very short survey to learn more how Solution Set can be most useful for you. We'll continue to publish case studies, but I want to add additional types of resources that can add value. I have some initial ideas, but the survey will help narrow our focus.
[Take the survey here.]
I'll report back on our plans for 2021 after the holidays, but thank you for your input, and thanks for reading Solution Set.
But before we turn the page to the new year, I thought it'd be worthwhile to share a few of our highlights from 2020. It's been a long, tough year, but these stories showcased journalists and news organizations who were doing their best to serve their communities at a a time of immense need. I hope they'll provide you with some inspiration for 2021.
Thanks, and we'll see you in January.

This fall, Solution Set partnered with Democracy Fund's Local News Lab and Engaged Journalism Lab to showcase Black-led local news organizations that are using engaged journalism strategies to identify and meet community information needs while building sustainable business models.
We tried to call attention to the outlets doing essential community-focused journalism. Engaged Journalism Lab covered how Flint Beat built a new newsroom from scratch and Local News Lab reported on The Triibe's deep commitment to building community in Chicago.
In Solution Set, my colleague Elise Goldstein reported on Madison365's path to business sustainability by focusing on serving communities of color in Wisconsin. I reported on Bridge Detroit's Community Priorities Model, which it uses to plan coverage around topic areas that most resonate with local residents.
All four stories are definitely worth your time.
How one nonprofit newsroom utilized its board of directors to boost its fundraising with a matching campaign
In early April, readers of inewsource, the San Diego, Calif.-based nonprofit investigative site, received an email from Karin Winner, president of the site's board of directors.
"This past month has been unprecedented in so many ways," Winner wrote. She continued: "We know you agree that fact-based news is a necessity. Especially now. If you're able to make a monthly donation to get us through this crisis, please do so now."
This was the kick-off of a three-day fundraising campaign inewsource launched in response to the coronavirus pandemic. While the nonprofit regularly fundraises, this was a unique approach for the site: it enlisted its board to create a matching challenge.
We dove into the thinking behind inewsource's campaign to learn more about how it utilized its board of directors to help grow the impact of its fundraising. Even though inewsource is a nonprofit newsroom, there certainly were lessons here for for-profit outlets as well.

'All Facts. No panic.' How The Philadelphia Inquirer covered the early stages of the pandemic
In mid-march, Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Ellie Silverman was sent to report on the first government-supported coronavirus testing site in Philadelphia. She wanted to speak with people who were coming to get tested, but, understandably, didn't want to risk getting sick herself.
She came up with a simple solution: She walked up and down the line of cars with a hand-made poster board asking people to call her to chat. They did. And The Inquirer published a story about their experiences.
The pandemic created large and small challenges for news organizations around the world, and outlets, such as The Inquirer, have continued to come up with solutions to report the news and provide life-saving information to their communities, all while making sure that their own teams remain safe and healthy. Solutions have ranged from small and creative — like Silverman's newsgathering improvisation — to a wholesale reorganization of news beats, workflows, product development, subscription and donation marketing.
This issue of Solution Set, from the early days of the pandemic in March, examined how The Inquirer covered the onset of coronavirus, how it developed new products to meet reader needs, reorganized its news organization in real-time, and how it's gained financial support even as it brought its reporting outside its pay meter.

Publication date: March 20, 2012
Monseñor: The Last Journey of Óscar Romero is an 88-minute film that tells the story of the growing repression of the poor in El Salvador in the late 1970s. It is interwoven with the story of Archbishop Óscar Romero, or Monseñor as he was commonly known, and recounts the short time between his installation as archbishop of San Salvador in 1977 and his assassination on March 24, 1980.
Using the power of the pulpit, Romero—who was beatified in 2015—delivered messages of hope in weekly sermons that became national events. Encouraging direct action against often violent oppression, Romero's speaking touched millions and affected political events in El Salvador that still have impact to this day.
The martyrdom of Archbishop Romero is a powerful witness to the life of a modern Christian hero. The film recounts these events through actual footage of the time and interviews with many who were there and knew the Monseñor.
The film was produced by the Kellogg Institute at the University of Notre Dame.
Download the Free Study Guide.
In collaboration with the University of Notre Dame's Latin American/North American Church Concerns (LANACC), Ave Maria Press released a free online resource to accompany the film Monseñor: The Last Journey of Óscar Romero.
The thirty-eight-page study guide facilitates a week devoted to the study of St. Óscar Romero through viewing of the film, student research, and group discussion. The guide's five-day plan involves an introduction to the life of Romero, viewing the film and discussing its key topics, and a synopsis of the material through the sharing of student reports and projects.
This is a perfect way to incorporate a strand of social justice in virtually any course in a Catholic high school theology curriculum. The study guide also offers an adaptation for parish religious education programs.

"A great resource for our work for peace and justice."
"I urge everyone to buy this inspiring documentary. It's perfect for the classroom, church groups, peace and justice meetings; for anyone discouraged by recent church developments and ongoing global wars; and anyone who wonders what prophetic peacemaking might look like. I wish it could be shown in every church in the nation. Monseñor and the beautiful study guide that is also available are a great resource for our work for peace and justice."

Welcome to New York, 1911. Youtuber Guy Jones came across some astounding old footage from the New York Museum of Modern Art's film library. The documentary footage was taken in New York over 100 years ago, three years before the outbreak of World War I. MoMA's restoration of New York 1911 was derived from the original nitrate print of the film and looked surprisingly good; with added music by Ben Model. But Guy Jones improved upon it by adding ambient sounds, instead of music, to the silent footage and slowing down the speed for a more natural appearance.
Welcome To New York 1911
The documentary travelogue of New York City was made by a team of cameramen with the Swedish company Svenska Biografteatern, who were sent around the world to make pictures of well-known places. (They also filmed at Niagara Falls and in Paris, Monte Carlo, and Venice, although New York 1911 is the only selection in the Museum's collection.)
Opening and closing with shots of the Statue of Liberty, the film also includes New York Harbor; Battery Park and the John Ericsson statue; the elevated railways at Bowery and Worth Streets; Broadway sights like Grace Church and Mark Cross; the Flatiron Building on Fifth Avenue; and Madison Avenue.
Produced only three years before the outbreak of World War I, the everyday life of the city recorded here—street traffic, people going about their business—has a casual, almost pastoral quality that differs from the modernist perspective of later city-symphony films like Paul Strand and Charles Sheeler's Manhatta (1921).
Take note of the surprising and remarkably timeless expression of boredom exhibited by a young girl filmed as she was chauffeured along Broadway in the front seat of a convertible limousine:
You can view the Original MoMA restored version of New York 1911 with music by Ben Model. 9 min. at this link: https://youtu.be/2LxxoaIa_uk
And here is the version that has been wonderfully altered by Guy Jones with added ambient sounds and slowed down speed, making you feel as though you are right there:
This project was part of Moving-image works from the MoMA collection.

Bitcoin is currently taking a firm hold on the online casino world, and gaming has been revolutionized dramatically. As the popularity of Bitcoin continues to grow, more and more fans of gaming have started adopting the cryptocurrency and are looking at new ways they can utilize the technology to its full potential. This is where Bitcoin gambling sites come in. The revolutionary cryptocurrency technology is erupting amongst the online gaming landscape and now the accessibility of this kind of gaming is bigger than ever. Here, we're taking a closer look at why the online gaming world is adopting this technology and what it has to offer which regular games do not.
Safe & Verifiable Game Results
Also known as provably fair gaming, on a Bitcoin gaming site many games can be verified as a safe and fair game to play on. This is achieved by providing players access to the server seeds, which can guarantee that the games are completely unaltered by the software or site admin, and any changes to the game's results would be tracked and spotted by the players themselves. This is an exciting new feature offered by cryptocurrency gaming sites and is one of the key reasons why many gamers are making the switch to Bitcoin online games.
Infinitesimal Fees
When playing a regular online game, when it comes to depositing or withdrawing, many players are faced with high fees simply to take back the money that they have won! This can be incredulous to some players and has led to an attraction to the infinitesimal fees offered by Bitcoin gaming sites. Due to all transactions taking place through the network, there are no debit or credit card fees which are placed on top. While some sites do charge for these transactions, the fees are minimal and some Bitcoin gaming sites even offer zero fees!
Player Anonymity
This is a key reason as to why Bitcoin gaming sites are growing in popularity. When signing up for a regular online game, players are generally required to upload copies of ID, personal statements, utility bills and other types of personal documents in order to ensure that their account is completely secure. While this may appear to be a much more secure option for many players, if that site was to be hacked, the player's personal information could be accessible on the server for the hackers to do what they please with.
This threat of identity theft is becoming increasingly prominent, with hacks into the NHS and many other mainstream databases hitting the news. However, Bitcoin gaming sites provide a new opportunity for players to game, without having to upload any form of personal data. Instead, all players have to do is create a username and password, and deposit their funds from their Bitcoin wallet, quickly and efficiently. It really is as simple as that.

Okay I really couldn't find this... if it's here srry. But I switched my emulator to the lle plug in for a little bit. I was told it ran WW better. Well it kinda did, but it got rid of almost all the sound anyway. All that was left was maybe my walking sounds... That was the weird part. Literally everything else was gone. When I switched back to HLE which was working before it didn't go back. The problem continued. So I don't think it was my plug ins.....
Most of my sound just stopped....
That had happened once to me for some reason. I guess you'll have to try renaming/deleting the "DSP.ini" and "Dolphin.ini" files in User\Config.
I'd like to know how this happened... Is there any particular INI setting that could be causing that to happen?
My computer specs:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x86
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @2.66Ghz - 2GB of DDR2 RAM (400Mhz)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512
You probably enabled the fix item hang patch which also bugs out the sound, disable that and LLE should be fine. There are not as many problem with HLE audio with Windwaker as there is with ZTP, SMG1, SMG2 and MKDD, however Windwaker may have some minor audio issues with HLE such as the hanging during cutscenes, loading saves, after stepping through the portal after beating a dungeon, some missing sounds/music. With LLE none of these are issues and LLE is wonderful as long as your system can handle it.
I think I turned off the patch after getting frustrated, but didn't test it again. It seems to have worked thx.

Wohler, Loft London Solutions partnership addresses multiplatform delivery in U.K. and EMEA regions
Wohler Technologies and Loft London Solutions announced the formation of an alliance that will provide professional services and support for Wohler Technologies' RadiantGrid enterprise-class solution for faster-than-real-time media transformation. The newly formed partnership addresses U.K. and EMEA region content providers' rapidly growing need to transform content quickly and efficiently for multiplatform delivery.
RadiantGrid offers a full-featured solution for intelligent orchestration of file-based workflows including standards conversion, format conversion, transcoding, QC, loudness correction, and image-quality enhancement. The RadiantGrid platform leverages advanced, proprietary parallel processing technologies to deliver high-quality results at faster-than-real-time speeds, while interfacing with existing scheduling and business process management systems.
Loft London Solutions will support Wohler's U.K./EMEA team in offering RadiantGrid customers a range of professional services, including design and build, training, and post-sales support. Loft London Studios has recently opened an enterprise support center based in London, and this new support hub will provide clients peace of mind with a local presence within the EMEA territory for tier 1, 2, and 3 support activities ranging from workflow analysis and best practices through to fault diagnosing and software upgrades. The new support center also offers a complete network operations center for live monitoring.
"We are pleased to inaugurate operations in our new facility by partnering with Wohler, a leading global brand supplier to broadcasters and content providers," said James Gibson, managing director of Loft London Solutions. "By integrating closely with the Radiant Grid API and working with Wohler to standardize hardware, we have been able to produce an enterprise-class remote monitoring platform that feeds data back live to our NOC on a four-tier basis. This in turn allows for proactive rather than reactive support, ensuring clients achieve the maximum TCO from the install. We are also working on a number of new RadiantGrid-based solutions, in which we have integrated other best-of-breed vendors to produce solutions for end-to-end workflows that are offered as off-the-shelf-solutions."
Our new collaboration with Loft London Solutions will enable us to provide a higher degree of focus and support for our RadiantGrid customers throughout the U.K. and the EMEA region," said Terry Allford, U.K./EMEA business development and channel manager for Wohler Technologies. "We believe our customers will see an immediate benefit in deployment of our enterprise-class software solutions."

Whether you have a large fall tree maintenance service project planned, need to hire someone for fall tree services, or just need to do some preventative tree maintenance in the Portland metro, the following tips will help ensure that your fall leaves don't turn into unwanted winter pests and your trees will last the winter months without damaging your property.
Tree fall and winter storm damage is one of the most common issues Portland homeowners encounter each fall—and also one of the least talked about. But fall isn't just falling here in the Pacific Northwest; it's also peak time for winter storms, which means that if you don't take care of your trees before fall ends, they may suffer serious damage in the winter. And not only is fall the perfect time for preventative fall tree maintenance, but it's also a great time to hire one of the best Portland fall tree services in the area. Tree Time Tree Service can be there for all your needs.
Trees are valuable to any homeowner because they're carefree—you plant them, they grow—but fall leaves can become a nuisance, and fall tree service is important for your trees. Leaves and branches fall every year, but if you're in the Portland metro area and don't do any fall tree preventative service, that fall foliage can end up damaging your home or worse: breaking limbs and becoming hazardous to people and property near and around your home.
Preventative tree maintenance in the Portland metro
There are many fall tree service tips and tips that can help you out in the Portland metro area, but here we'll provide you with just a few of the most important that Tree Time Tree Service wants to share with you.
fallen branch removal is important for fall tree maintenance, but winter weather is just as big of fall risk to your fall service trees. We'll go over fallen leaves in a bit, but keep in mind that winter is coming—and with it high winds and heavy snowfall. That means that if you haven't already, now is the time to hire one of the best fall tree services Portland has to offer- Tree Time Tree Service.
So what should you do in preparation for the fall, and what do you need to get done? The following are some tips and services you need to have done this fall.
While fall isn't technically falling until the autumnal equinox—which was early last week—there's enough fall color outside that we're going to say that fall is currently in full effect.
What you need to do:
While fall leaves may be beautiful to look at—and fun for the kids to jump into—the fall foliage can damage your lawn or worse: fall off of trees onto pathways around your home where people could potentially slip.
Fall tree maintenance
You need preventative tree maintenance. According to Tree Time Tree Service, fall tree maintenance and service is the best way to prevent fall leaves and branches from damaging your lawn and other properties. Preventative tree maintenance is always good for the care of your tree and property.
Fall leaves have begun to give off that fall color everyone loves! And while fall trees are beautiful, it's also time to do fall tree maintenance. Tree Time Tree Service knows that this is a busy time of year, but you can't fall behind in fall tree service.
For fall tree removal, fall tree limb cutting, or fall tree trimming contact the pros at Tree Time today to schedule your fall preventative tree maintenance in the Portland metro. Tree Time Tree Service is near you and just a call away.
We are the fall tree maintenance service, experts. For more information visit our website https://www.treetimeservice.com or give us a call.

Nakajima Park measures some 21 hectares (a metric unit of surface area, equal to 100 acres) and has been listed in the "100 Most Popular Urban Parks in Japan." Before the destructive typhoon of 2004, it had about 5,000 trees, including Japanese red spruce, yew, gingko, and other conifers, as well as Yezo wild cherry, black acacia, and elma. The Yezo wild cherry in the park blossom in early May, wisteria in early June, black acacia and Japanese iris in mid-June, and roses of various colors in July. [Information from the "Nakajima Map & Guide" by the Sapporo Foundation for Greener Parks]
This aerial view of Nakajima Park, hanging in Kitara Hall, shows what it was like before a number of high-rise condominiums were constructed. The concert hall can be seen on the left as well as the surrounding area. (My apartment is the gray building on the lower edge, right of center, where the 2 streets end.)
The following are photos I have taken while walking around Nakajima Park, just a few minutes from my apartment. According to Yahoo Travel, the park is the oldest in Sapporo. Click on any photo below to take a walk in the park with me!

Also strongly recommended is visiting the site by Roy Latham, who frequently visits Sapporo, to see some excellent photos of Nakajima Park. The page also includes a map of the park.
Inside Nakajima Parks stands Hoheikan, a building which is designated as a National Important Cultural Property. According to a brochure by the city of Sapporo, "Hoheikan is a building which the Hokkaido Kitakushi, or Development commission, an organization of the Meiji Government, constructed as a hotel in 1880. It is regarded as a historic an dprestigious building where the Emperors of the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras stayed. It is representative of Western-style wooden architecture of that time, as well as a valuable example of rare Western-style wooden architecture still in existence. At present, it is open to the public as a cultural property and is utilized as a hall for wedding ceremonies and concerts." I myself attended a small violin/accordian concert there on the 4th of July, 2005, and had a chance to enjoy the remarkable interior. (Photo above by CA Edington. More photos and information in Japanese can be seen at Houheikain.)
The Sapporo Foundation for Greener Parks provides the following information about the origin of Nakajima Park and Sapporo: "The Toyohira River flows through the Jozankei ravine and widens near the foot of Mt. Moiwa to form a large alluvial fan. Sapporo began its development on this fan and has been growing ever since. Nakajima Park was constructed by incorporating a section of the Kamokamo River, a branch of the Toyohira River."
In 1874, a sluice gate was constructed on the Kamokamo River and a lumberyard opened. Logs felled upstream on the Toyohira River were temporarily stored at the lumberyard before being floated downstream to a lumber mill on Otomo Canal (the present-day Sosei River). Around 1882, the local residents began to request that the lumberyard, which had fallen into disuse and was becoming dilapidated, be converted into a park. In 1887, a program was initiated to turn the lumberyard and the adjoining area into an amusement park. [Note by C.A.: I remember when there was a roller coaster and small amusement park within Nakajima Park before Kitara Hall was built.] In 1907, Yasuhei Nagaoka, a Tokyo-based authority on landscape gardening, was invited to Sapporo to head its urban development. Some of his basic planning can be seen in present-day central Sapporo.
The Park Management Section, Greenery Promotion Department, Environment Bureau, City of Sapporo. Nakajima Park Map & Guide.
The Park Management Section describes Nakajima Park this way: "With its rich verdure and water, the park is a favorite leisure spot. It is in the center of Sapporo and commands a view of Mt. Moiwa. In the Meiji Era, the land was used as a lumberyard to collect trees that had fallen along the Toyohira River. Now, it features Kitara (Sapporo Concert Hall), Hokkaido Museum of Literature, and various other facilities. It is a venue for festivals, sports events and flower markets. In the Kamokamo River flowing through the park, you can see many wild birds, migratory ducks and carp. It's a natural oasis in an urban area. Youngsters, the elderly, women, men, and tourists all visit throughout the year. In winter a cross-country skiing course is open."

Campbell's to add salt back into Select Harvest soups: Good health doesn't sell
Reducing salt may be healthy for consumers, but it doesn't seem to be going down well for business.
At an investor meeting on Tuesday, Campbell Soup Co.'s incoming chief executive, Denise Morrison, announced an about-face: The company, which won kudos from health advocates for lowering sodium in its soups a few years back, will be adding salt back into its 31 Select Harvest soups in an effort to improve the way they taste.
The soups, which are marketed as a more natural option made with "real ingredients," initially had about 700 to 800 milligrams of sodium in a serving, Reuters reported. Company executives -- led by Morrison, who used to head the company's North American soup, sauces and beverages business -- had reduced salt levels to about 480 mg. Now those levels will shoot back up to 650 mg per serving. (Healthy Request soups will not get a salt boost.)
Eating too much salt has been widely associated with increased cases of high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes, though recently some researchers have raised questions about sodium's negative health effects (see related stories, to left). The FDA recommends no more than 2,300 mg of salt per day. A 2010 report from the Institute of Medicine noted that most Americans get about 3,400 mg each day. The biggest culprits? Restaurant food and packaged foods, such as canned soups.
Health advocates expressed dismay at Campbell's move. In a statement released Wednesday, Michael F. Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, asked, "Why resort to salt? Why not improve tomato soup [flavor] with more and better-quality tomatoes, or chicken noodle soup with more chicken?"
But Wall Street licked its lips. Campbell's soup sales have been weak, and the company faces a lawsuit over its soups' lower-sodium labeling, which some consumers have complained is misleading. But after the Tuesday announcement of the salt strategy and other product initiatives focused on improving taste, the company's stock price went up 1.3%.

affinity designer Coffee Time
Garytagreg posted a topic in Share your work"Coffee Time" I'm really not very good with hand drawing (stick figures only!) so I really like the concept of vector drawing in which I can make changes after the fact and tweak to my hearts content. To learn how to use Affinity Designer (I have played with some vector stuff before in Inkscape but nothing much at all), I decided to make something look as real as I could that wouldn't need too much raw drawing skill and I came up with "Coffee Time" : 100% created from scratch vector drawing (no brushes or pixel layers except for the use of the fx "Layer effects"). I did use a photo for reference but I didn't do any tracing or anything. I'm really, really happy how it turned out. I tried out all sorts of things and learned a lot but it was a lot of fun :) As this is a "Learn and Share" forum, I thought I'd share exactly what I did (see the other other attached pictures). It's not perfect and I'm a beginner, but hopefully others might be able to learn something, too Enjoy! :) My Process: 01 Create 2 sets of circle shapes to represent the top and bottom of the cup. Squish the top and the bottom with the move tool. The top circle has a smaller one on top to remove later to make a lip for the cup. I deliberately used bright colours to make the shapes easy to distinguish from each other. 02 Join the circles with the corners of a rectangle shape to form the side of the cup. 03 Shape the rectangle with the node tool. Add a handle. Clone the top circle and move it down to make the surface of the coffee. 04 Create a set of "shading shapes" to put on top of the side of the cup. These will then be given a gradient colour and transparency to give the illusion of a bumpy surface. 05 Create some circles and overlay some shading shapes . I used the the smart duplicate function to repeatedly rotate duplicates of the shading shape easily. 06 Squish the saucer with the move tool and move into place under the saucer 07 Change the colours to something closer to the final version and play with gradients and transparencies. I also blurred it to make it blend more naturally. Once I got something that looked good, I made a style of it and then applied it to the others and then hand tweaked each one. 08 Do the same to the saucer. Also added some detail (reflection of the inside of the cup and blurred it) to the coffee. 09 Add a background with a gradient. I used the noise slider to give it some texture. I also added some steam with just a hand drawn shape. 10 Add a shadow. I just duplicated the cup and saucer, blacked them out and then put them in place underneath everything and used the shear tool to project it out. I also added some fine detail on the edge of the side of the cup to add to the bumpiness illusion. Made the lip a nice shiny gold with a slightly tweaked version of the built in "metal" style. Added some self shadowing to the saucer and further deformed the circle shape it to give a more 3D look to it. 11 Added reflections and spectral highlights to the cup and saucer. Now it looks nice and shiny. For the final version, I also added some bubbles to the coffee (lots of circle shapes) and the text, converted to curves and then given a steam like style (actually the same one I used for the shading shapes!) and then each character rotated and scaled to make it look like steam from the coffee.

affinity designer OMEGA Speedmaster
pmeinertz posted a topic in Share your workHi, For my fourth try in AD I wanted to illustrate at Omega Speedmaster watch. Think it worked out well :-). Still a few glitches here and there :-( The hardest to figure out how to make was the wristband with the try to make it look woven. I did it with a costume made brush I made. I am still amazed how well AD performs. Great to get under the skin of the software. I set my self these challenges (HTC Phone, Nexus phone, Bulb and this) so that I would be sure to really learn to use AD, not just fooling around. Compared to how I usually does these illustrations Photoshop (Vector Layers), then AD is by far the easiest. Please enjoy! If anybody is interested I can upload the original AD file. UPDATE! I have added the AD original file also now. Br, Philip Omega.afdesign

synaptyx posted a topic in Share your workHey guys. I'm loving Affinity Designer and Photo and switched over as my Adobe subscription ran out around Affinity's release day. I am participating in the betas and am really impressed with the team's work and engagement with users. I am currently working on a watch project in WatchUSeek's F71 (Affordables) forum and this is the result. An homage to the vintage and modern Seamasters and James Bond, we are partnering with Lew and Huey watch co to have this made into a real watch! This has been my first full project rendered completely in Affinity apps and am now not pining for AI, or PS in any way. lol :D
affinity designer Sony IC recorder
Garytagreg posted a topic in Share your workHi all Its been a while since I posted any work and I was wanting to make another custom icon for a device I plug into my computer again: this time my "Sony IC Recorder" voice recorder. I wasn't able to match the fonts exactly, but it looks good enough for me (especially when its resized really small when used as an icon!). I did find the advanced font adjustments useful at getting "close" to the originals. I was also quite happy with how easy it was to give the rounded effect on the top and the bottom of the device by simple adding more points to a gradient and moving them around until I got a convincing shading. I also took the opportunity to make a custom style for the LCD display, so now if I want one, I just click once and all the works already done! :) Hope you like it :)
affinity designer Kindle Paperwhite Poster
Garytagreg posted a topic in Share your workI was making a icon to use as a replacement for the one automatically displayed on the desktop when I plug in my kindle paperwhite and it turned out quite well. So, I thought I'd make it even more accurate and make a marketing-type poster. All vector and all done in Affinity Designer, including all the text, lines and icons on the display. It really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, mainly because its really a lot of rounded rectangle shapes, but that's what makes vector art (and AD) great :) I'm hoping to make a more 3D-ish one that appears to be rotated around 20~30 degrees around the y-axis sometime, but I'm happy with this "straight on" one, too. I've also include the icon as a png if anyone would like to use it. Hope you like it! edit: re-uploaded the png with a few minor fixes for some strokes getting too big after resizing the layer

A personal pronoun is used to refer to the person you are speaking about. Two sets of pronouns – she/her/hers & he/him/his – imply gender when we use them. When we see someone, we typically observe their outward appearance and assign them a gender and use the affiliated pronoun. But this practice is dangerous, as we can absolutely misread a person's true gender identity and cause the individual great pain and embarrassment. It also sends the message that the way we express ourselves must fit a certain mold or we must fear being mislabeled and mistreated.
Are there other pronouns?
Yes! Besides the gendered pronouns she/her/hers & he/him/his many individuals also identify with:
They/Them Ze/Zir/Zirs
No pronouns! (Use the person's name instead)
It is also important to note that some individuals will use multiple pronouns such as she/they or they might request that you vary the pronouns that you use to address them.
What can our workplaces do to help?
- Make it a common practice to list personal pronouns in email signatures, when introducing oneself on calls & in-person meeting, and when creating name badges. If most people are listing out their personal pronouns, it will not draw attention to any one person who might feel they have to list them in fear of being mislabeled.
- Ensure your team is educated on LGBTQ+ communities and terminology. Take time to explain the difference between terms such as gender, gender identity, sex, and gender expression and how these topics relate to pronouns but do not necessarily dictate them.
- The Human Rights Campaign has put together a glossary of terms that can help to educate on LGBTQ+ terminology. This resource can be found here.
- Create policies that outline disciplinary action for team members purposefully misgendering team members or knowingly using incorrect pronouns.
- Listen to LGBTQ+ employees and customers when they make a complaint regarding pronoun misuse and take action.
- Teach your team how to be allies by never assuming someone's pronouns; correcting yourself, apologizing quickly, and resolving to be better in the future if you accidentally mispronoun someone; speaking up if they observe a team member purposefully mispronouning someone.
- For job applicants and new employees being onboarded, ensure there is a spot to list personal pronouns.
Overall, pronouns are incredibly personal, and they help define who we are. We know that some of these concepts are new to many individuals, and mistakes will be made. But even if you do not intend to harm someone does not mean that they are not going to be harmed. Make sure you are doing research beyond this article to fully understand and be supportive of everyone. Because, as we know, to truly build an inclusive environment, we must acknowledge and accept everyone for their true and unique selves.

HUFFPOST: Are you walking through life unconsciously or with eyes wide open? What are the downstream implications of your actions? Sustainability is the ability to live fully in the Present without compromising the future. This applies to the environment as well as your own personal habits.
The Power of… KINDNESS
KINDNESS. Is your outlook one of compassion or indifference? How often do you perform intentional acts of kindness? Are you a considerate person? Do you show love every day to those who love you? With the calamities of recent times, we have witnessed ordinary people perform extraordinary acts of heroism.
The Power of… GIVING
GIVING. How generous are you? Do you give freely or are there usually strings attached? At a time when your bank account may be lower than last year and the stresses may be higher, it is even more important to understand the power of giving.
The Power of… CHOICE
CHOICE. How are you choosing to live? Do you realize all of the choices you make every week, every day, every second? Do you ever truly think about the consequences? When I was four years old my mom gave me The Little Me and THE GREAT ME, by Lou Austin which laid the groundwork for my spiritual development. With a bright yellow cover and joyful illustrations, this simple book explains that there are two wills in every person: one – the will of the human self (the Little Me), the other – the will of the divine self (THE GREAT ME). Between these two forces there is a continuous running battle.
