Black Hill's 'demand' charge out of line
Hilltop Market closed its doors Jan. 27, 2018. Several factors were involved in our decision to close and reinvent ourselves with a different business model. Overhead costs, specifically our Black Hills Energy bill was one factor. As a small business with big energy usage, coolers and freezers running constantly, our power bill was the biggest expense right behind merchandise and payroll. Brian Dieter, partner and electrician, made many upgrades in our lighting, electrical panel and energy saving equipment. These changes made little difference in our power bill, and I will tell you why.
The demand charge used by Black Hills is out of line with other energy suppliers in Colorado. Once a commercial customer passes 10 kW of demand, it enters the demand class of billing rate schedules. The monthly demand, which you pay for a particular month, is determined by the highest 15 minutes of rate of demand. This "spike" can happen when several high demand units start up all at once, coming off a defrost cycle for instance. A business owner can control that event somewhat, but what if there is a power outage, even a short one, and all the coolers and freezer come back on simultaneously? The demand can go above 50 kW AND once you hit that 50kW level, you can't be charged for less than 50 kW for the next 12 months no matter what energy saving measures you try.
The Black Hills threshold creates a business-unfriendly climate for Cañon City. The commercial "demand" charge threshold should be raised from 10kW to 25kW used by other providers, including Xcel. Also, the demand "punishment" period should be reduced from the current 12 months.
Cañon City's Energy Future group asks our community to get educated, get involved in the energy decisions coming in the next few months. Keep up with this effort through Facebook @canoncitysenergyfuture.
Carol Dunn,
Cañon City

Oval shields such as this were used by the Roman cavaly units. The oval design was much easier to use on horse back than the leigonary's rectangular shield. The large size offered good protection to the soldier as well as the flank of the mount. The Roman Cavalry Clipeus (flat shield) is made of wood with a painted linen covered front. Edged all around with brass and finished with a central brass boss. Includes a traditional horizontal wood hand grip.

Los Angeles County Democratic Party Chair and California Democratic Party Vice Chair Eric C. Bauman released the following statement congratulating the newly sworn-in California State Legislators:
"We at the LACDP offer our sincerest congratulations to our new Democratic supermajorities in both the State Senate and the State Assembly. We know they will build the legislative and legal wall we need around our state to protect Californians from the dangerous policies of Donald Trump.
"Under the leadership of Speaker Anthony Rendon and President pro Tem Kevin de León, California will continue to be the progressive beacon of the United States. As pro Tem de León said, our state legislature 'has been called to service at a pivotal – some would say portentous — moment in our state's and our nation's history.'
"While much of the country is continuing down the narrow-minded and bigoted path laid out by the Republican Party, our legislature is ready to begin the next great progressive era in California. As Speaker Rendon pointed out, 'Californians should be wary of national calls for unity and healing. Unity must be separated from complicity… We don't need healing, we need to fight.'"

Throughout its extensive history, the American flag has had its peaks and troughs. It's been hoisted by U.S. marines at Iwo Jima in World War II and burned as an effigy in places like the Middle East. However now, the student government at University of Califorinia-Davis doesn't think the American flag is representative of all.
According to Campus Reform, the Student Senate at UC-Davis voted to strike a bylaw that requires the American flag to be displayed at meetings. The bill states that "the concept of United States of America and patriotism is different for every individual, it should not be compulsory that the flag is in view at all times during Senate meetings."
The bill continues. "Considering that the flag is seldom present at Senate meetings, it should not be mandated by the Bylaws as a codified practice. Alternatively, it should be at the discretion of the Senate whether presenting the flag is presently necessary."
Deborah Porter, political director of the UC-Davis College Republicans, was not having any of it, calling it disrespectful to those in uniform.
"The University of California has long been a public university dedicated to the education of its students. The flag of the United States of America stands for the educational opportunity provided by America, as well as the sacrifice of our military soldiers and veterans to provide us with this freedom," Porter told Campus Reform.
"Restricting the flag to be displayed at the mercy of the President pro-tempore is a slap in the face to our military members, and their sacrifice, even to the death, for our freedoms. I hold our military members in high respect, and thus vehemently oppose Senate Bill 76."

Happy holidays to you all!
Today I am sharing tips on how to create a festive tablescape without accumulating any waste whatsoever. Yes, it's absolutely possible! Nothing was thrown away after this session and nothing was bought apart from the seasonal fruit and nuts that we later ate.
First things first, find out what's in season. I checked online and found a list of fruit and veggies that were in season in Spain and then went to my local market to buy; pomegranates, grapes, tomatoes and chestnuts. While I was there, I spotted some dried goji berries and walnuts that I thought would add to the colour palette and give some extra texture.
For the tablecloth, I used a deep navy, almost black wool fabric that I had lying around, I never throw fabrics away as I always end up finding another use for them. The napkins were also bits of fabric I had saved from past events.
I really wanted to add a Christmassy element without buying flowers or greenery, so I created these twig wreaths with foliage I foraged by the river close to where I live. I had no idea how they were going to turn out, but had so much fun playing Christmas tunes, drinking hot chocolate and making them that I didn't mind. They were really easy to make, first I made different sized circles out of wire, that I shaped around plant pots, and then I secured the foliage with the wire.
Together, they actually looked pretty good!
I hope you like the finished look. The best part of this table centrepiece is that you and your guests can pick away at it throughout the meal.
Merry Christmas everyone x

Free Friday Tasting: Classics And A Curveball
We have three familiar varietals for our Free Friday Tasting this week — Cab, Chard, Sauv Blanc — and one seriously fun Spanish red — Montsant! We're trying them from 4-6 p.m. today. We'll be back pouring samples of the same on Saturday, 12-3 p.m.
Niner, Chardonnay, Edna Valley, CA 2015 — This is from a spot just 3 miles from the Pacific Ocean, and it has plenty of coastal personality and balance. Silky body with warm bread, stone fruit, and caramel. The winemakers stirred up the lees while it was in the barrel (about a 1/3 of which were New French Oak), which amplifies cream notes and pear flavor. Regularly $19; Special Tasting Price $16.
Tangent, Sauvignon Blanc, Edna Valley, CA 2014 — Definitely worth a shot if you like French and New Zealand style Sauvignon Blancs and want to branch out a little. You're in the ballpark of green apple and grapefruit, lime and lemon zest. Slightly herbal, mineral finish. Like high-end athletic clothes, you're going to want it on a hot day. Shop $13.
Llenca Plana, Montsant, Spain 2016 — Made from Carignan and Grenache, just like the much more expensive Priorat region, this has a medium body but is still quite powerful. Red and dark fruits, good acidity, and a long-lasting finish. Just plain fun to drink. Shop $16.
Alias, Cabernet Sauvignon, California 2016 — Great for when you just gotta grab a Cab. Quaffable. Medium body, dark berry fruit, violet color. A straightforward oaky Cabernet, it's a meat-and-potatoes selection, and a no-brainer pairing for… meat and potatoes. Shop $10.

Roger Federer vs Dusan Lajovic
2018 Wimbledon, 1st round
Date: Monday, 2 July 2018
Expected Start at 11:30 UK / 12:30 CET
Surface: Grass.
Roger Federer will begin his title defense quest on the first day of the competition as he is set to open the play at the centre court of the All England Club on Monday. The first opponent comes in the like of Dusan Lajovic who should really not be a threat given his very limited experience on the grass.
The Serbian has only won six matches on this surface in his entire career and he is currently 27-year-old. His grass court record is 6/16. Dusan was in for a confidence-boosting run last week in Antalya, but he only could not go beyond the second round falling 2-1 to Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia.
He is generally good at working the ball all around the court, but he shows his best tennis on the dirt. Lajovic proved how dangerous he can be on the clay when he forced World No 3 Alexander Zverev into five sets at this edition of Roland Garros just a month ago.
Roger Federer vs Dusan Lajovic: Head-to-head
This will only be the second head to head tie between the two likes.
Interestingly, the first one happened right at Wimbledon, exactly one year ago.
Roger Federer hardly broke a sweat back then, beating Lajovic 3-0 (7-6 6-2 6-3) in the second round.
Roger Federer vs Dusan Lajovic: Prediction
The current circumstances suggest a one-way street from the very first point and we'd be very surprised to see Lajovic taking a set here. Federer skipped the entire clay court season to get back to playing as the tour moved on to grass.
The Swiss legend has won eight in a row ever since, clinching the Stuttgart title (win over Milos Raonic in the final) before the surprising defeat to NextGen Borna Coric in the Halle final.
The odds offered for Federer to win in straight sets won't make anyone rich, set at 1.22, but it's a pick you can add freely to your accumulators as we can't see how the Serbian could get away with a set here.
You can back Under 28.5 games in the match at the odds of 1.66, while Federer -8.5 games handicap is another bet worth a punt at 1.60.
Roger Federer vs Dusan Lajovic: Betting Tips
Under 28.5 games in the match @ 1.66
Roger Federer -8.5 games handicap @ 1.60.

I spent most of the day cleaning up after the Videogame BANG! party on Saturday. Then I got to hang out with some friends and got to hold that beautiful baby again! =)
I'm hoping to take a photo tomorrow that I've been wanting to take for over a year. I attempted it last week, but didn't want to lay down in the wet bushes and couldn't quite get the angle I needed. I'll have to bring a towel so I can lay on that tomorrow.

Adventure travel is all about letting yourself free and exploring the beauty of a place on your own and its people too. In this way you experience the place in an exclusive way that might not have been experienced by anyone else. So how to be the adventurous person and get your journey going on the right direction in the right manner to give you the most beautiful experience of a journey in your life. So if you are interested in this type of exploration of a place you can actually go for sailing. But then how to go for sailing? You can hire a yacht for yourself. Just imagine the luxury of having your yacht and the sea around, the scenic view that you can actually view. Surely not every one is lucky enough to have an experience of this sort in their lives.
Yachts are the perfect answer to go on a fun vacation and an adventure travel on a pristine coastline with a group, alone or anyhow you would like to. There are two types of yachts that you can rent for yourself. Firstly you can get it through a bareboat. This type of renting is preferred to those people who have training in sailing and have the idea of seamanship.
These people are equipped with tips and methods that can help them for the sailing journey. Another type of yacht that can be rented is a crewed yacht. This yacht is preferred to those people who do not have an idea of seamanship, yet want to have the sea adventure travel. A crewed yacht comes with an entire crew of more or less thirty or more staff. Basically it consists of captain, chef, stewardesses, engineers, deckhands, dive masters, mates and many others. For getting the best yacht renters for yourself you can search online to get the most appropriate offer for yourself.
Yachts are also of various types. One of them is the aerie yacht which consists of a capacity of carrying ten travelers apart from six crew members. This yacht has been designed dramatically and using the technology, thus it is very lightweight and yet tough enough to stand the sea troubles and the whole journey. Most importantly if you can afford something a notch higher than you can get a luxury yacht for your adventure travel. Believe it or not, it is going to be the journey of a lifetime once you get on a luxury yacht, and it will be engraved in your memory forever.
This is what all the travelers have experienced and said about this kind of a journey. If your pocket allows this expenditure, then it is strongly recommended to you, as you can have the landscape view of azure water and bright orange sky on you. It is indeed an enthralling experience. For an adventure travel on a yacht, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and the South East Asian Sea are preferred above others. You can anyway make your own selection to do your bit of exploration. Enjoy!

His mom wanted him to be the first black president, but when he started coding at 9 years old. Newell cultivate this entrepreneurial acumen during his childhood, he had to break the news to her that he didn't want to move into the White House. Instead, he wanted to be Steve Jobs.
Later down the road, while working at MIT, Apple and Google as an engineer gave him the confidence to start his own company. With investments from a Google director and seed accelerator Y Combinator he was able to get FLIP through beta testing and in the Apple App Store by March 2016.
This story starts with a pair of Nike Tiffany Dunks. Back in 2014, Brooklyn-born Kemar Newell was running a sneaker consignment/retail store/barber shop with some buddies in Silicon Valley. "It was dope," he says. "It was where all the designers, athletes, and celebrities—all the local sneakerheads came to get their kicks."
Before the release of the Tiffany Dunks, Newell had already pre-sold five or six pairs of the shoes before realizing that he couldn't get the inventory. "I had to do a campout," he remembers. For those of you who haven't seen the barricaded lines snaking around blocks, often with kids with sleeping bags and camping chairs waiting overnight, a campout is when people literally wait hours, sometimes days in line before a big drop to get the shoes they want.
"I realized that the majority of people doing this were kids. People as young as nine [years old] all the way to 25 were waiting in line, but the majority were kids in middle school or high school who had the time to do it. I asked them, 'What are you guys going to do with your shoes?' They were like, 'I'm going to sell them on eBay,' or 'I'm going to sell them on Craigslist.' They told me that they price them at $500." And here's where he had his big idea. Just because someone prices a shoe at $500 doesn't mean it will sell at that price. He offered the kids $250, which was about $150 more than they'd pay for them up front, and then he'd try reselling them. "Five out of six kids took that deal that I pitched. I was like, 'Wow, that is such a high conversion rate; let me go ahead and scale this methodology in an app.'"
And so, he launched Flip, an app where anyone can list their sneakers with a guarantee they'll sell in 90 minutes. The 90-minute auction model has been a key point to the app's success: "In building out this model, we figured out that we can not only sell stuff, but we can also increase the demand on things that may not be as appealing or trendy at that specific time. We care that the sellers want to sell fast and buyers want a reasonable price or have a say in price."
And what exactly are the most sought-after sneakers, you ask? For Flip's user base, which is currently doubling month over month, it's usually the Yeezy.
But even with this pricing model, they're seeing shoes selling for higher prices than in other marketplaces, which is interesting mainly because the app is built to help both buyers and sellers—buyers are able to find rare shoes not available anywhere else, and sellers can move their inventory quickly and get the best prices for them.
Meanwhile, buying, wearing and selling sneakers remained a passion for Newell; his own collection is legendary.

Morgan Stanley is now considering Bitcoin as a new institutional asset class. The information was released in a recent report made by the research division of the company. The topic of the report was related to the status of Bitcoin, Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies in general.
Bitcoin is an Institutional Asset Class
In a report titled "Update: Bitcoin, Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain" Morgan Stanley updates an older report released in December 2017. According to the report, Bitcoin has been changing its thesis during the last years. Between 2017 and 2018, the popular virtual currency registered many different changes.
Bitcoin became a store of value in 2017, a thesis that remains valid in the community. As a deflationary asset, an increasing demand would generate pressure on its price. During 2018, several fiat currencies experienced different problems. In Turkey and Argentina, the local fiat currencies abruptly depreciated against the US dollar. Investors decided to move towards Bitcoin and embrace it as new refugee against these devaluations.
Perhaps one of the most interesting things is related to the fact that Bitcoin is now considered a new institutional investment class. There are several platforms that are starting to create institutional-grade crypto solutions. The Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) or Fidelity Investments are just an example of this. These two companies are working to offer new platforms for institutions.
The report also talks about stablecoins, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), institutional investments and more. About stablecoins, the report says that not all stablecoins will survive. For Morgan Stanley, those that have higher chances to prosper are the ones with lower transaction costs and highest liquidity.
The ICO section looks not so bullish as the others. Indeed, the money raised by ICOs has been decreasing during the whole year. As per Morgan Stanley, the next development to watch is related to security token offerings and regulated ICOs. The report shows that 64% of ICOs has failed during the first year.
Clearly, institutions are paying more attention to Bitcoin and virtual currencies. Not only because of the Bakkt platform, but also because in 2019, a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) could be approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). If this happens, wealthy and institutional investors will be able to have access to the crypto market.
Morgan Stanley marks how this cryptocurrency is evolving and becoming more mature as time passes. With proper regulations and infrastructure, Bitcoin could be added to new portfolios around the world.

Soooooo.... I have been playing (working) with the fleece I've acquired.
On June 21st I attended the Lambs Down Festival in Carleton Place and was fortunate enough to bump into Carlene, a woman I met at the Knit Knackers Spin night and who is also a member of the Ottawa Valley Weavers' and Spinners' Guild.
Since this was held at the Canadian Cooperative Wool Growers location, I knew she had snagged a good load of fleece recently. Thankfully, she was ever so helpful and directed me to the location for picking out fleece. We found a gentleman there, who provided garbage bags and said "go to it".
I filled 2 garbage bags!! 14 lbs of fleece, of a medium-coarse grade, for $3.00 per lb. Unfortunately, you really have to dig through them and have at least some knowledge of what you're looking for, in order to process and spin it into yarn.
That was where Carlene was most helpful. Even though the fleeces are just dumped in a bin, sorting through it and finding what looks to be decent quality is the trick. And just so you know, in the farming vernacular, a "tag" is a big-ass lump of crap from the sheep's rear end. LOL Carlene just about jumped when she warned me I almost put my hand on a big lump of it.
Anyways, she was a good sport and spent the time helping me and I can't thank her enough.
Enough of that... now for pictures:

Your Possibility Action Plan
Think about this - It is easier to accept the impossible than to expect the possible. Do you find yourself wanting to throw your hands up in the air and walk away with a pitiful sigh? "I tried" takes a small amount of energy. The minute exertion of a "try" cannot be compared to the "stick-um" you've got to muster to wait on the possible. Possibility takes belief, faith, strength, courage, patience, humility, sweat, and many tears. Possibility is not for the weak and fainthearted. Praise the Lord, unlike men, impossible is not God's standard operating procedure (Matthew 19:26)!
I have trusted God's power to remove mountains. Have you? Are you dealing with a mountain right now? Have you looked at it, decided there's just no use. It appears impossible to climb, move or scale? Have you pulled up a chair to sit down in it's shadow with your head in your hands and a frown on your face? You're in a good position. Bow your head a bit more, drop to your knees and ask God to show you his possibilities, your possibilities. Believe him, stick with him until it happens. Never give up on God because he never gives up on you!
Try this...Set aside one coin you can keep with you all the time. Seeing is believing. If you are about to throw your hands up, reach into your pocket instead. Take out your coin and read it. Visibly remind yourself "In God We Trust, because with Him, All Things are Possible!"
Trusting in possibilities,
The Happy Handicap

I love your post. You are right it takes a lot to fight, but the victory is much sweeter in the end than anger and being mad at yourself for not trying.ReplyDelete
It does take that "stick-um" (Randy Jackson LOL)
to do the impossible to us but, all things are possible with my God.
Yes I am dealing with a mountain right now and yes I have thought about not trying anymore.
I am begining to see the light once more till the Devil comes sticking his head out again, which I know he will but, I pray God gives me the words and confort I need at the time to chop it off when he does.Replies
I will never forget the "stick-um" message from Randy! I can hear him saying it now. I pray you'll have that "stick-um" and the words you need for your mountain. Just keep fighting! Thanks for the comment!Delete
Thanks for the inspiring post. I need to trust more...ReplyDeleteReplies
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for following my blog! :)Delete

Maybe it can, but I'm not a clover dev to look into that. This is just the way I found it to work. If you have FV and you'll start update process, after regular reboot into the same partition, you'll see the update unapplied, it will be still hanging in AppStore. I believe the update files getting loaded into separate partition and OSX sets itself to boot from it, but since we have clover, it just throws us a regular boot menu, ignoring what OSX prioritized for itself. That's why you have to choose that partition manually.
My EFI bundle attached, just to make the life easier for someone. Merged all the stuff from different forums. FileVault 2 capable with internal keyboard working (no need for USB KB to enter the password), no debug errors tearing the login screen. OSX update from AppleStore supported (if you use FileVault, after initial reboot during update, press F3 in clover and select "Install from Prebooter" in order to apply updates, second reboot - go to "FileVault from Prebooter").Replace entire EFI folder, run KextUtility to refresh the caches and reboot. Enjoy! Thanks to authors of those drivers. Tested on Xiaomi Air Pro 2018, i7 16 RAM model. neolo_xiomi_pro_efi_bundle_APFS_FILEVAULT2_ENABLED.zip
AppleKeyFeeder.efi works for internal keyboard on Xiaomi Air Pro on a FV2 pass prompt screen, but I have some ERRORs output on a left side of the login screen, constantly going down. "ERROR LWSmcUINT8ForKEy smcProtocol->SmcValue failed for key "***" "ERROR LWSmcUINT8ForKEy smcProtocol->SmcValue failed for key "***" "ERROR LWSmcUINT8ForKEy smcProtocol->SmcValue failed for key "***" Also AppleKeyFeeder.efi seems breaks the trackpad and backlight control after boot.
Actually NO, still locks up on PERC 6/i after some random access load, until I power reset it. It's not a cooling problem, but driver. Very unreliable. Such a frustration.
Actually yes, remaking the cooling system seems helped, no mo freezes or degraded arrays. Thanks.
Hi. The driver is great, but PERC 6/i with latest firmware on EL Capitan (latest as well) is freezes after some major file operations. Freezes for good, finder goes unresponsive so bad that I can't even do soft reboot, only power reset helps. When idle it doesn't freeze for weeks. Having 2 raids type 1, 4 sas drives 600G each, using release kext, nothing crazy. Changed drives back and forth, all drives are brand new. What is wrong with it?

I just got HDMI working for my TV... accidentally on 9800GT Not fully but at least something. What I did: !!!! Upgraded to 10.8.3->Got headache with NVenabler->went in -s and removed it ->booted with GraphicsEnabler (My PC monitor was connected with DVI cable to HDMI port via HDMI to DVI converter, because I broke DVI port on graphics card) -> I decided to plug out PC monitor and connect TV into HDMI port with HDMI-HDMI cable (without converters). And voila, TV detected signal as DVI (1600x900 @ 60) and I can see desktop there. Major problems: - No sound, certainly (pointing on S-Pdif or HDMI in sound settings does nothing). - TV remains detected as my PC monitor, but I able to set proper resolution for it in system settings. - After reboot cable replugging with PC monitor+converter required, TV can't be detected itself. I think it's EDID issue, or TV doesn't send anything to OSX to be detected. Big step forward, but I need help to make it usable. Here is some photos attached. Any help will be appreciated.
external DVI not working
Neolo replied to Crazy X's topic in nVidiaMaybe dvi port is broken? I have same thing, it just stopped gaining digital signal without reasons.
There is 3 ports - dvi, VGA and hdmi
Thank you for reply. I want at least video (sound I could attach via spdif separate connector). But why audio will never work? This card should mix it with using internal s-pdif connector.
Gigabyte 9800GT Silent Cell -> HDMI (10.8.2)
Neolo posted a topic in nVidiaHi. I desperately need to make native HDMI port (without converters) on Gigabyte 9800GT Silent Cell 1GB on 10.8.2 OSX, and this is very frustrating... This card has next outputs (from left to right): DVI - VGA - HDMI Basically DVI + VGA are works on 100% but nothing on HDMI (I can see picture there only when OS is booting, afterwards it disappears). I have tried next: 1) GraphicsEnabler = Yes : DVI - OK, VGA - OK, HDMI - FAIL (hangs OSX when plugged in) 2) GraphicsEnabler = Yes + UseNvidiaROM = Yes and \ or VBIOS = Yes + rom file in /Extra : Unable to boot, constant reboots (no matter what rom is used - native or from Mac 8800GT) 3) GraphicsEnabler = Yes + NVCAP = 04000000000003000c0000000000000700000000 (extracted from native rom): DVI - OK, VGA - OK, HDMI - No signal (screen on DVI flashes with blue background when HDMI plugged in, OSX not freezing) 4) NVEnabler: DVI - OK, VGA - OK, HDMI - No signal (no flashes, no react when plugged in) 5) NVEnabler + edited plist (added NVCAP and VBIOS Hex): DVI - OK, VGA - OK, HDMI - No signal (no flashes, no react when plugged in) I think NVCAP should be adjusted somehow, because I managed to get no freezes with extracted NVCAP and I see graphics reconfiguratiion when plugging HDMI cable but TV still prints "No signal". I assume it sends wrong signal on it and it needs to be swapped somehow by NVCAP but I don't know how. I saw a lot people where trying to get HDMI work on 9800GT, but all success with roms manipulating is drops on 10.7.x and higher. Extracted rom attached. Please help. 10de_0614.rom.zip

text: Relentless and propulsive, Sersophane is a symbol for what is yet to come - the as of now unknown and unnamed materialised in a goddess of hope and wisdom, holding her ground in a crumbling world. The album that bears her name is the fourth record from the Swedish instrumental quartet Gösta Berlings Saga. Dark and dystopian, the album is characterized by an eclectic mix of references, combining tight minimalistic grooves and driving/aggressive rhythms with unruly noise and a vibrant edge. Within this musical universe, Sersophane represents the will not to resign to passive pessimism, casting her beacon of light in the shape of shimmering melodies and epic adventures into unknown terrain. Sersophane is a stripped down affair compared to the band''s previous album, more akin to 2009''s Detta Har Hänt in terms of the recording process. All the basic tracks were recorded live in Studio Rymden over a period of two days, as a way of safeguarding a sense of spontaneity for the material and maintaining the raw feel of a live show. This aspiration was present during post processing too, as obvious solutions in terms of instrumentation and arrangements were avoided in order to find new ways forward. The result is the band''s most coherent album thus far, thematically consistent with little added to the core, Alexander Skepp (drums, percussion & synthesizers), Einar Baldursson (electric, acoustic & lap steel guitars & synthesizers), David Lundberg (Fender Rhodes, synthesizers and Mellotron), Gabriel Tapper (bass & Moog Taurus).

Do you follow or subscribe to various social media, SEO or copywriting organisations?
Are you hoping to get advice that will make the world of difference? To find the 'Golden Ticket' that means you get more followers, more engagement and thousands more visitors to your website?
Keeping up to date with latest trends, new algorithms and so on is an essential part of what I do. But it can soon lead to brain overload and confusion.
In any one day, I might see dozens of articles and links pop up on my screen offering the best way to quadruple traffic, or headlines telling me to forget everything I thought I knew about SEO because, Lordy, have I got that all wrong! I am told several times a day about the three/five/seven things that I MUST do if I want my Facebook business page to gain any traction whatsoever.
Some of the advice is outdated, some is confusing and some is so obvious you wonder what the point of the article was.
If this resonates with you – if you've felt as if you've downed ten cups of coffee and the words are beginning to jumble up before your eyes, you may need to have an audit. Take a rest from the mind bending jargon and give those YouTube tutorials where a smiley and well-meaning person is shouting at you, a big swerve.
If you accept that 80% of what is out there is clutter and focus on the 20% that's worthwhile life could become easier.
- Wait until you find a real gem, a fantastic idea well expressed that makes sense and that you believe in.
- Bookmark the article for future reference and check out the author or organisation that supplied it.
- Trawl their website and social channels for further evidence of their credibility.
If you read their copy and feel slightly envious that they have produced something engaging and well-crafted, you'll know that what they say and how they say it is going to have some value for you.
Of course, this all depends of what you do, your personal approach and on who your clients are. Your 'trash' may well be my diamond in the rough. It's often down to what your gut feeling is and whether you find yourself nodding along in agreement or frowning slightly because something doesn't ring true. Trust your own instincts, be prepared to change your mind, but most of all, keep learning.

The Sandwich GenerationBy Linda Emslie on 29 September 2017
Can you remember a time, when as a teenager you felt like you didn't belong? I'm referring to something a little more than the usual teenage struggle for identity that most of us experinece. At the point of time I'm thinking of there was a lot of talk about the Baby Boomers and the effect they were having on the economy. How their shopping choices were driving demand and market responses.
If you're that old then you're just like me and can relate to the angst of the lost souls caught between the demographic profiling of the Baby Boomers and the next big thing, Gen Y.
Remember that? Yes? Then you are a Generation X, just like me, lost between the cashed up boomers and the up-and-coming trend setters.
Well, here it is just a few years later ;) OK decades later, and we're on the brink of another much more unsettling facet of being the generation caught in the middle.
The trend I'm referring to here is not rosy. It's been coined the "sandwich generation" by REST Industry Super in their White Paper "The Journey Begins" which was published in May 2017. It refers to us, stuck in the middle: with our Baby-Boomer parents moving into aged-care (and perhaps needing to be cared for by us first) and our children (bless them) living at home for longer and longer!
The "nest egg" that so many of us have been working hard for on the promise of a golden dream life when we retire, is now being chopped up and distributed between our day-to-day needs, the needs of our ageing parents, and to help our children get a firmer foothold out there in the world.
There is a need to make our slim financial resources stretch further and further.
Here are some unsettling stats contained in the REST White Paper:
- Nearly half of older (50+ years) working Australians expect to retire with debt.
- 1 in 3 (35%) retirees are living a "frugal" retirement.
- Older working Australians are likely to work for longer (if they can find employment) because they provide financial assistance to their:
- kids for things like education, home deposits, weddings and everyday expenses
- parents, for medical costs.
I see plenty of people in my healing space, from all walks of life, struggling to manage their individual variations of the scenario outlined above. For some of them, they are managing both ends: looking after parents, and helping out the kids. Many of them talk about either putting off their retirement, or not actually being able to see an end point, because the money isn't going far enough.
This level of stress is heart-breaking to witness, and deadly to experience. The levels of stress induced by this type of squeeze are phenomenal. Don't underestimate the impact it has on your health.
The good news is, you can still take action to change this. It is never too late to start turning your finances around, to change the trajectory of your current path.
Simple action steps you can take include:
- Change the way you think about money. You don't work for it – make it work for you.
- Toss out your current rule book and take on a new financial literacy foundation that places you front and centre and in charge of your money. Stop playing the game by the "institutions" rules.
- Pay Yourself First! Rather than be a good citizen paying your bills first with nothing left at the end for you, turn it around. Pay yourself first.
- Develop an understanding that the money you earn today is not just for you today. It is for the future you. Develop a relationship with your future self and include them in your money decisions.
If you want to take decisive action, let's talk. You can get in touch directly to ask questions – [email protected], or make a time for an in-depth discussion on your particular situation.

WoW Woman in 3D and AR | Elinor Pitt, co-founder of Stitched/
Interview by Marija Butkovic @MarijaButkovic
Elinor Pitt is co-founder at Stitched, a fast-growing ecommerce company selling made-to-measure curtains and blinds using 3D customisation technology. Stitched believes in a new generation of products that are made from sustainable materials, rather than mass-produced synthetic alternatives that are harmful to the environment. Formerly, Elinor was a Senior Interior Designer at Kensington Design in London and Tech Analyst at Nomura, she also graduated from KLC School of Interior Design Graduate; University of Bristol, Electronic and Communications Engineering.
What is the idea behind Stitched and how did you come up with it?
My background was originally in the traditionally male dominated environment of electronic engineering and I then worked in the reverse demographic of the very female led interior design world and it was quite natural to decide to connect these two paths that formed part of my journey.
Having spent 6 years working in the home decor industry I was frustrated by the lack of customisation technology that could better articulate to the customer how things were made. I was also really sad to see issues with the mass production of home furnishings and issues with supply chain in the textiles industry and thought there must be ways of doing things better.
When did it all start and do you have other members in your team?
In September 2016 I left my job and went into a phase of technical exploration and started to look at 3D technologies and Augmented Reality capabilities. Soon after I met my co-founder Will and that is when Stitched was born. It was just us for 8 months working out of coffee shops around London before we found our 3rd team member which forced us to find proper offices. 9 months later and we are now a full time team of 7 with various part-time roles helping us fill out tasks as we grow. We wouldn't have been able to grow out our team so quickly if we hadn't managed to close out our pre-seed investment round earlier this year.
How long did it take you to be where you are now?
1 year 9 months since I've been working full time on Stitched, but it wouldn't exist if I hadn't pursued my previous study/careers in engineering (5 years) and home decor (6 years), so you could say longer … but really, I may have planted a seed but the business is gaining momentum from all the different people that are adding their own unique touch and making Stitched their own, we've got so many mixed skills in the business now.
What was the biggest obstacle?
So far it was definitely raising investment. Will and I spent so much time pitching to investors and trying to raise funds, it was exciting but sends you on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. It's hard, because you need the funds to help the business grow and build great foundations but it also takes valuable time away from focusing on the business itself.
What are your biggest achievements to date?
Biggest achievements, probably persuading such an amazing group of people to come and work with us, it's quite scary because we believe so much in the business and finding fast followers and people to come and join us full time helps keep the momentum and the excitement going whilst evolving our business quickly in an age of technical acceleration.
What are your projects you are currently working on within your company?
We are working on lots of things, but probably most interesting for your readers is our tech developments. Now that our CTO has joined us we are moving much more quickly, we are focusing on improvements on our 3D capabilities and realism, it's difficult because people are shopping through a web browser we have to be careful on making sure our 3D models are built in the simplest way so as not to waste people's data allowances, it's a tough balance.
We are also working on our AR developments and are excited. We focus a lot on measuring capabilities which is where we feel AR actually becomes useful for the home decor industry, that's why we first decided to focus on 3D in web browsers, get customers used to the idea of shopping in 3D before easing them in to AR over time which to a lot people isn't quite good enough/accessible yet.
What will be the key trends in the AR/VR industry in the next 5 years and where do you see it heading?
We believe very much that mobile devices will probably become obsolete in time and most likely wearable glasses will become the new norm, a world of assisted reality. We have a pair of the first SnapChat glasses in the office, not because we use them that much, but more because we believe they will become iconic in time as the first movers in trying to get people used to the idea of wearing technology everyday.
What are the challenges of being a female founder and entrepreneur in AR/VR?
I have definitely have found a lot of our investors meetings quite intimidating, unusually most of our investors are actually women and are all hugely inspirational advisors to have supporting the business offering up different strategic advice. A lot of people assume our financial director is a guy and when we correct them and say "she" there is often a moment of realisation for many, it's great to be changing the norm.
I am really lucky as I have a great co-founder Will who is hugely supportive of women in business in general - we very much share the load and whilst I am a female founder the business has been built from scratch by both us and grows with each new person that joins.
What is the most important piece of advice you can give to all female founders and female entrepreneurs in AR/VR out there?
Stay visionary, once you get into the details of your business it's very easy to get bogged down by the small things, always remember to come back up for air and take a look around at the world around and get excited again about the age of technical acceleration.
Who are your 3 inspirational women in AR/VR?
The Unfold duo: Amandine Flachs / Luciana Carvalho Se, our business was just ideas when I attended my first event and the networking via them was what springboarded me into meeting all the various people that were stepping stones to help create and grow the business.
Nonny de la Peña - I saw her speak at SVVR last year with our lead angel investor Melinda Page and recognise that she has done huge amounts for the AR/VR community.

Over at the food policy blog, Parke Wilde takes issue with my answer to a question from Dan Koontz at the Casual Kitchen blog. Or perhaps the issue is that Dan asked the question? Or, perhaps that I didn't mention Michelle Obama in my answer?
Parke makes a good point that many folks, including the first lady, advocate personal responsibility. Indeed, the Let's Move! campaign seems as clear a sign as any that Mrs. Obama is encouraging folks to get off their duffs.
But, Parke also seems to insinuate that somehow this discussion of personal responsibility is aiming at a straw man or lining up and knocking down carnival dolls as Parke puts it. As if there aren't people out there who use the "lack of personal responsibility" premise as motivation for public policy. Thus, it might be useful to share a segment from a paper I co-authored in the journal Appetite:
Consumer activist groups and many public health professionals, on the other hand, have repeatedly argued that individuals are powerless to stop the rising tide of obesity; that forces outside their control (in other words, environmental factors) are to blame and are in need of constraint. The following quotations are illustrative of this viewpoint:
•"The obesity crisis would not be solved by treating it as a personal failing on the part of those who weigh too much… We must realize that our predicament cannot be solved through individual action alone." David Satcher, 16th Surgeon General of the United States (Levi, Segal, & St. Laurent, 2011).
•"Obesity is not merely a matter of individual responsibility. Such suggestions are naive and simplistic." Bruce Silverglade, Center for Science in the Public Interest (Silverglade, 2004).
•"We've got to move beyond personal responsibility." Margo Wootan, Center for Science in the Public Interest (Balko, 2004).
•"If only it were that simple. The harsh reality is that millions of Americans can't be trusted to look after their own well-being." David Lazarus, consumer columnist, Los Angeles Times (Lazarus, 2012).
•"Everyone talks about personal responsibility, and that won't work here... These are things that have to be done at a governmental level, and government has to get off its ass." Robert Lustig, pediatric endocrinologist, University of California at San Francisco (Allday, 2012).
These are hardly straw men or women.
By the way, the title of that paper in Appetite is "Who is to blame for the rise in obesity", and our nationwide consumer survey revealed the following:
Eighty percent said individuals were primarily to blame for the rise in obesity. Parents were the next-most blameworthy group, with 59% ascribing primary blame. Responses fell along three dimensions related to individual responsibility, agribusiness responsibility, and government-farm policy. A number of individual-specific factors were associated with perceptions of blame. For example, individuals with a more statist score on the economic political ideology scale were more likely to blame the government and agribusiness for obesity.
Now, back to Parke's point.
Do some food companies use a "personal responsibility" mantra to try to avoid regulation. You bet. But, do some food activists do the reverse to advocate for regulation?
Which is worse?
I think there is a problem with the message of many in the food movement on this issue. It is contradictory and undermines people's volition. For example, In Michael Moss's book Salt, Sugar, Fat he concludes by saying:
They may have salt, sugar, and fat on their side, but we, ultimately, have the power to make choices. After all, we decide what to buy. We decide how much to eat.
So, there we have it. Moss apparently advocates personal responsibility.
But, didn't Moss just spend the preceding ~300 pages trying to convince us that our food choices are out of our control - that we are "hooked" - and that we are little match for the teams of scientists and advertisers employed by Big Food? The implicit implication seems to be that consumers need a more powerful third party - the government - to constrain Big Food - because these are matters beyond our control.
That's a story of helplessness - of victimization. And whether they mean it nor not, narratives such as this can be demotivating.
To advocate people take personal responsibility for their food choices - as I have - is a message of empowerment.
Parke is right that some of the "food police" also encourage (and practice) personal responsibility, but I contend that much of their writing and their policy advocacy undermines their own message.

The countdown to Christmas has started … 12 days to be exact! In the working world, it possibly means social functions, celebrations and end of year parties. And, that generally involves alcohol! For some, a few sips loosen the lips and for others the mask is removed! Alcohol has such an effect on people - sometimes it can help us discover a person whom we don't generally 'work with'!
As Cyndi Lauper sang in her song, 'True Colours' – "I can see your true colours shining through", we sometimes see the 'real you' appearing at this time of year. Can you recall watching the 'quieter person' in the business discovering their voice and then the 'noisy person' mellow and quietening down? There is a chemical reaction in our brain, which lessens the ability to choose our behaviours.
When I work with businesses, we use a tool, Strength Deployment Inventory, which helps people identify and talk about their 'true colours' – linking how they behave to the anchor of their values. In so many cases people operate in environments where their 'true colours' are prevented. So, they, borrow 'strengths' to survive. A general statement "but I'm different at home or with my friends!" usually identifies the person borrowing – however, there is always a choice in doing so. On the flip-side when alcohol is introduced, we are limited in our choice of behaviour.
As a leader, the goal is to gain the best from people, have them operate in a space that allows their 'true colours' to shine through. If you can help someone be themself, 24/7, you are a 'SUPER LEADER'. The fundamental question is "Do you allow or encourage alcohol to be consumed at this time of year?" And, for what purpose do you do this?

Learning The Secrets About Supplies
Why Your Home Needs A Good Misting System Are you one of the many homeowners who are constantly dealing with bugs and the extreme heat? If you answered "yes", then your home needs it's own misting system. Misting systems are very popular among homeowners because they can get rid of irritating pests and at the same time provide you will a cooler environment. This should be on the top of your shopping list especially during the summer season. In this article, allow me to share with you some good reasons as to why you should install a high quality misting system. If you love hosting outdoor parties, then you know the feeling of constantly having to deal with pests such as mosquitoes, flies, bees, etc. Although it is true, that you can always buy zappers, torches, and bug sprays, these can only do so much. If you want to get rid of your bug problem permanently, then you have to invest on a high quality misting system. Doesn't matter what type of bugs you have, a good misting system can easy repel them. Because misting systems are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (also known as EPA), they are safe for our children, our animals, and even the environment. Once you install a high quality misting system, your bug problem will be a thing in the past.. Another advantage of installing a good misting system is that it has the ability to keep your surroundings cool. You and your family will now be comfortable outdoors. This is achieved when your misting system sprinkles very tiny drops of water and then creating an evaporating fog in the process. The areas that your misting system covers will be 30 degrees cooler. This will benefit you and your guests a lot especially when you are hosting an important outdoor event.
Resources Tips for The Average Joe
If you are a farmer or an animal breeder, the more you should consider investing on a good misting system. Animal breeders will have the peace of mind they need whenever they send their animals outdoors. If you are one of them, you can easily install this around stables, barns, and even kennels. After all, your pets/ animals deserve a comfortable home.
What You Should Know About Resources This Year
If you are now planning to buy one, you can easily order online. If you want to know more about the misting systems that are for sale, just open and browse the website of a trusted manufacturer. When doing so, always check if there are any reviews, ratings, or testimonials about the products they are selling. Whether you are purchasing a misting system to get rid of your bug problem or you simply want a cooler environment, you will love adding this amazing equipment inside your home.

The month of October has come to a close and I thought it would be fun to share my first of a monthly series of ranking the films released each month. Keep in mind that I didn't see every movie that was released in October, mainly missing out on "Happy Death Day," "Only the Brave," "BPM," and "Novitiate." That being said, I saw a good chunk of the films that did release this month, both good and bad, so let's begin with my ranking of the 11 October releases I saw from worst to best!
11. "The Killing of a Sacred Deer," dir. Yorgos Lanthimos
Steven, a charismatic surgeon, is forced to make an unthinkable sacrifice after his life starts to fall apart, when the behavior of a teenage boy he has taken under his wing turns sinister.
Currently sitting at a 75% on Rotten Tomatoes and an average rating of a 75 on Metacritic, this is gonna be one of those movies that I'm on the opposite side of the critics. While I was a huge fan of Lanthimos's last film, "The Lobster," I found "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" to be cynical, mean-spirited, and hollow. Despite strong cinematography and committed performances from the cast, it was hard for me to be invested in the story or characters and there's very little entertainment value in it unlike the darkly comedic tone of his previous film.
10. "Wonderstruck," dir. Todd Haynes
The story of a young boy in the Midwest is told simultaneously with a tale about a young girl in New York from fifty years ago as they both seek the same mysterious connection.
Todd Haynes is a strong visual storyteller, but with "Wonderstruck," the lacking component is the attachment to the characters, an aspect that's integral to ensuring that the story leaves an impact. Every emotional beat came off as forced and unfortunately, there were many scenes that felt meandering, dragging out the film's 117 minute runtime.
9. "Suburbicon," dir. George Clooney
A noir, small crime thriller set in the 1950s, a home invasion rattles a quiet family town.
This is one of two Matt Damon-starring productions from Paramount Pictures this year and while this one was completely panned by critics and audiences, I honestly didn't hate it as much as the other one (I'll get back to that pile of trash in December). The biggest problem with "Suburbicon" is that it's a tonal misfire at almost every turn, going back and forth between dark comedy, social satire, serious drama, and mystery thriller. None of the scenes mesh together to make for one coherent piece which is all the more frustrating when there are elements within each storyline that could have worked very well had they been explored with more depth and a smooth blend of different tones. It's George Clooney's attempt at making a Coen Brothers movie without fully grasping what makes a Coen Brothers movie so special. But hey, Oscar Isaac's great as usual.
8. "Jigsaw," dir. Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig
Bodies are turning up around the city, each having met a uniquely gruesome demise. As the investigation proceeds, evidence points to one suspect: John Kramer, the man known as Jigsaw, who has been dead for ten years.
I'm a big fan of the "Saw" franchise. I even recently reviewed each installment of the series this past Friday, even finding enjoyment in some of the more mediocre sequels. So I was excited for "Jigsaw," interested to see what new take would be brought to the series. Unfortunately, it felt like more of the same, just more polished. It started off strong with a great self-aware tone, but once the film drew closer to a twist ending so hilariously bad that it's worth the price of admission alone, it became clear that the filmmakers have lost interest in trying to do something new. That being said, I'll still be there next October if Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures decide to make another one.
7. "Una," dir. Benedict Andrews
When a young woman unexpectedly arrives at her much-older former lover's workplace, looking for answers, the secrets of their dark past threatens to unravel his new life. What follows is an emotional and unflinching excavation of inappropriate love – with shattering consequences.
I saw "Una" at last year's Toronto Film Festival and while it hasn't stuck with me enough to vividly remember the film as a whole, what I do remember is an emotionally tense drama that's entirely carried by the great leading performances by Rooney Mara and Ben Mendelsohn.
6. "Professor Marston and the Wonder Women," dir. Angela Robinson
The story of psychologist William Moulton Marston, the polyamorous relationship between his wife and his mistress, the creation of his beloved comic book character Wonder Woman, and the controversy the comic generated.
I was thoroughly entertained by this movie. Rebecca Hall, Luke Evans, and Bella Heathcote work off each other so well and add a lot to the already fascinating story, making for a sexy, fun time at the movies. It's not particularly memorable, but if you wanna see an interesting story behind the lustful bond of three people, "Professor Marston and the Wonder Women" is definitely worth checking out.
5. "Brawl in Cell Block 99," dir. S. Craig Zahler
A former boxer-turned-drug runner lands in a prison battleground after a deal gets deadly.
While I still contend that this movie did not need to be over two hours long, I had a blast with "Brawl in Cell Block 99." S. Craig Zahler does a great job at offering insane action sequences while also developing Vince Vaughn's character very well. Vaughn gives a terrific performance, brilliantly selling the brutality of this man while not sacrificing his humanity.
4. "The Square," dir. Ruben Östlund
The Square is a poignant satirical drama reflecting our times – about the sense of community, moral courage and the affluent person's need for egocentricity in an increasingly uncertain world.
Ruben Östlund follows up "Force Majeure" with one of the years funniest films. Playing a lot like a 150 minute Swedish version of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "The Square" is a hell of an entertaining ride even if it overstays its welcome. There are many moments from this movie that I keep thinking about that still make me laugh out loud. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it!
3. "The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)," dir. Noah Baumbach
An estranged family gathers together in New York for an event celebrating the artistic work of their father.
Noah Baumbach is a terrific writer/director with films like "Frances Ha" and "Mistress America." This time around with "The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)," he paints a beautifully authentic look into the lives of a dysfunctional family as well as focusing on the flaws that come with regret and frustration. Every member of the cast is fantastic with Adam Sandler doing his best work since "Punch Drunk Love," and Ben Stiller bringing a dramatic range that we rarely see from him. I loved this movie.
2. "Blade Runner 2049," dir. Denis Villeneuve
Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K, unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos. K's discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard, a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for thirty years.
I am thoroughly disappointed that more people didn't go out in droves to see "Blade Runner 2049," the best blockbuster film of the year. After seeing the movie twice, I continue to be blown away by the remarkable job Denis Villeneuve did in recapturing the spirit of the original "Blade Runner" while also expanding upon the film's deepest themes of humanity and identity. Ryan Gosling once again proves why he's one of the best actors working today bringing such an emotional vulnerability to a character that could have so easily been hollow. Look, if you haven't seen this movie, go out and see it on the biggest screen you can. It won't be in theaters much longer.
1. "The Florida Project," dir. Sean Baker
Set over one summer, the film follows precocious 6-year-old Moonee as she courts mischief and adventure with her ragtag playmates and bonds with her rebellious but caring mother, all while living in the shadows of Disney World.
I still contend that "The Florida Project" is the best film of the year and should be seriously considered as a major Oscar contender. No other film in 2017 has had such a strong emotional core as Sean Baker does a beautiful job dealing with the difficulties of raising a family while living in poverty and at the same time doing so through the beautiful innocence of childhood. It's a film so full of hope during a time where we really need more films with optimism. It's a triumph on every level.
So there you have it! It was a really solid month for movies, definitely seeing more good than bad. I'm very excited for next month as we got films like Pixar's "Coco," superhero blockbusters "Thor: Ragnarok" (which I'll be reviewing this Friday) and "Justice League," and some festival favorites that I've already seen like "Call Me By Your Name," "Lady Bird," and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri." I definitely look forward to running down those films at the end of the month!
If you want to stay updated with all my reviews of films as soon as I see them, follow me on my Letterboxd.
Thanks for reading!
