When there is not love for a child to remember,
Then there is nothing for the child to remember except the hate.
— Roger Dean Kiser
Violent conflicts have devastating consequences for the entire population. A change in the characteristics of conflict has made civilians more susceptible to the devastation from conflict. Today, a majority of combat related deaths are civilians. Armed conflict mostly affects women and children; orphans are the most vulnerable. Young children lack the capability to take care of themselves and depend on external support for survival. A child that lost its parents to conflict and is not enjoying the care of a third person is deemed to die. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), suffering from civil conflict for several decades, has produced multiple generations of orphans. To achieve long lasting and sustainable peace, orphans have to receive the education that enables them to integrate themselves into society, ensures employment, and promotes reconciliation. The future is going to ask for a next generation of environmental aware leaders that have the skills to address climate change and natural resource management. Hence, orphans in the DRC have to benefit from a comprehensive approach, combining the provision of basic needs, education, environmental skills development, and peace building.
The DRC is one of the poorest countries in the world and is ranked 187th of Human Development Index, and thus, has the lowest ranking of all countries. The life expectancy in the DRC is 48.4 years, the average years of schooling are 3.5 years, GNI per capita in PPP terms is US$ 280 and the Gender Inequality Index (GII) value is 0.722. The GII measures inequality between men and women in terms of reproductive health, empowerment and the labor market; DRCs GII value of 0.722 is the world highest after Iraq, Yemen and Niger (UNDP, 2012b). Even though the government is investing in economic alternatives, the economy is heavily reliant on natural resources and minerals, where revenues fail to reach the majority of the people. In 2011, the DRC had an estimated population of 71 million people (USDS, 2012). Over 54 percent of the population lives below the poverty line, roughly 30 percent of the population has no access to clean drinking water, and 87,000 Congolese are living with HIV (UNICEF, 2012a).
The DRC, former Zaire, gained independence from Belgium in June 1960. In 1990, President Mobutu increased his involvement in Rwanda, and even supplied the Hutu government in Rwanda with arms. The DRCs contribution had terrible consequences. In 1994, within three months, 800,000 Tutsi were killed in the Genocide. When the Tutsi rebellion successfully ousted the Hutu government, one million Hutu crossed the border to the Kivu region in Eastern Congo in only two days. Since then, the Eastern region in the DRC was used as a battleground between Hutu and Tutsi rebels. Even after overthrowing President Mobutu and defeating the Hutu insurgence, the Tutsi led government of Rwanda and the government of Uganda maintained their influence in the Kivu region to benefit from its vast natural resources (Meredith, 2005). In the North people still face further insecurity due to the presence of the Lords Resistance Army (UNICEF, 2012b). Even though, in 2008, the government signed a peace agreement with over 20 armed rebel groups, heavy fighting continued and is intensifying every day. (USDS, 2012) Since 1998, more than 5.4 million people died as a consequence of the war (UNICEF, 2012b).
Orphans can be defined as children that lost their father, mother or both. Given this definition, there have been 132 million orphans in the developing world in 2005. This definition is primarily used in the humanitarian aid sector. Industrialized countries only consider children that lost both parents as orphans. By this account, there are over 13 million children in developing countries that have lost both parents and depend on family members, relatives and the entire community (UNICEF, 2012c). According to UNICEF (2012c), five percent of all orphans are under the age of five. This further led to the terms single orphan, with one parent, and double orphan, without parents (UNICEF, 2012c).
An estimated 800,000 orphans and other vulnerable children between the ages 0 and 17 years are living in the DRC (UNICEF, 2012a). Orphaned children comprise almost 15 percent of the population younger than 18 years old (Bloemen, 2009). School attendance of orphaned children is significantly lower then the rate of non-orphans. In the DRC the ratio of school attendance rate of orphans to school attendance rate of non-orphans is 0.74 (UNData, 2012). Children are further affected because armed rebel groups take advantage of the insecurity in the region and force children to join their rebel groups. At least 60,000 school children are at risk of being recruited. As of today, 2,000 children are already participating in violent conflicts (UNICEF, 2012b).
Grave violations are taking place, including massacres of entire villages by armed groups, mass rape, abductions, exploitation and abuse, and child recruitment and use in armed forces and groups. At the same time, malnutrition has surpassed emergency levels; nationally, one million children suffer from severe acute malnutrition (SAM). (UNICEF, 2012b p.1)
Malnutrition in the DRC is not a result of food shortages overall, but rather a consequence of limited access to nutritional food (UNICEF, 2012b). Also, given that rape is the weapon of choice, women and girls are constantly susceptible to Gender-Based-Violence (GBV). This year alone, over 5,000 women have been raped in one province alone (UNDP, 2012b). The suffering caused by ongoing violence makes migration seem like the only viable option. Currently, more than 2.2 million internally displaced people (IDP) live in the Eastern region of the DRC; an estimated 50 percent of them are children below the age of 18. Another 25,000 people fled to Uganda, and Rwanda is hosting another 17,000 Congolese refugees (UNICEF, 2012b). In total, there are over 430,000 Congolese refugees living in all the neighboring countries. The great number of IDPs and refugees is a direct and indirect consequence of the ongoing conflict in the Kivu region (USDS, 2012). In addition to discussing the physical harm to orphans, Kiser (2004) underlines the importance of the psychological impact. There is one key element that is the real cause of the orphan's problem. It is the lack of unconditional love, the given right to be accepted as a child and to be loved as a child, no matter what you do. (Kiser, 2004)
Behind all this horrific facts are silent voices of little personalities, whose days are filled with desperation and hope. Eleven-year old Rodrigue, an orphan from the Kivu region, wrote a letter to Father Christmas, telling him about the civil war and children that lost their parents during the war. He continues to describe that many of them live on the streets and have no food or clothes and ends the letter asking for help (SOS Children, 2012).
Vulnerable children, affected by the bloody war in the DRC, are in sincere need for assistance. Initiatives addressing their needs have to aim for long lasting conflict resolution and a new generation that is tolerant, open-minded, environmental aware and possesses the skills to thrive in future markets.

It's only fair to share
I've still got and wear clothes that I've had since I was a teenager. Clothes are memories and I like to keep the "good ones" with me.
Many of my clothes however come with "pre-memories" ie: second-hand. I've always favoured clothes shopping at charity shops to find those certain "somethings" that reflect me rather than the fashion of the day. I never used to think about the people that would benefit from my purchases though; now I do.
This is why, even though I know it's polite to just say "thank you" when complimented on what I'm wearing I love to tell people that my outfit, or part of it, came from a local charity shop at some ridiculously cheap price.
I have loads of clothes but I record Marbella Now TV show once a week and although I don't go to even a fraction of the events that are celebrated in our glorious city I often find myself wondering what to wear.
Fortunately we have a large selection of charity shops to choose from: the Debra shops supporting the Butterfly Children's Charity and Cudeca Shops to help fund the Málaga Cancer Hospice to name but two plus I always pick up many a gem from the Triple A animal rescue centre events too! Nothing to be ashamed of, or embarrassed, quite the contrary. These charities are very worthy causes and rely on our community for their very survival so instead of just handing over all my hard earned money to the big corporations without a second thought, why not pop into these very tempting alternatives?
Charity shops unite us as a community: we can share our clothes but also our time as they all need volunteers to serve in the shops, even a couple of hours a week would help if you can spare yourself for a while!
Charity shops are wardrobes to the world; particularly in five star Marbella where people give away GREAT STUFF from all over the globe! If you ever needed an excuse to go shopping this is it! Almost an obligation I'd say, it's in aid of charity! If you agree, in true Facebook style, remember it's only fair to share!

Police Reportedly Do A Wellness Check On Chris Brown After He Posts His Address On Social Media
Last week Chris Brown and Offset exchanged a few words on social media after Offset left a comment under one of Chris' posts concerning 21 Savage. One thing led to another, and Chris Brown ended up dropping his location and told Offset to pull up.
Well after exposing his address to his millions of followers, police reportedly made a visit to Chris' home to make sure he was okay.
According to TMZ, law enforcement sources revealed that someone made a call to LAPD saying that they were concerned for Chris' well being. Police reportedly showed up around 10:30pm on Friday and spoke to Chris' security, who reassured that he was fine and there were no issues with Offset.
The source added that police advised Chris' team to remove the most with his home address.
The whole beef stemmed from Chris posting an edited video of 21 Savage rapping in an English accent, in the wake of the news that he was actually born in London. This caused Offset to comment, "Memes ain't funny lame."
Chris later responded, which led to their feud via social media.

Henkel is joining forces with partners from across industries to spark a wave of innovation in the design, production and recycling of packaging materials. As a participant in the New Plastics Economy initiative, the company will share its leading expertise to drive progress toward efficient, safe and environmentally sustainable packaging.
The New Plastics Economy (NPEC) is a three-year initiative aiming to build momentum toward a plastics system based on the "circular economy" principle. The central idea of the circular economy is to gather materials after they have been used and process them so they can be reintegrated into another production process – over and over again. This saves resources and reduces the environmental impact. The NPEC is bringing key stakeholders together to rethink and redesign the future of plastics, starting with packaging. It is targeting a shift away from incremental improvements and fragmented initiatives, and moving toward a shared direction that delivers positive outcomes along the plastics value chain. The initiative is led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
"Henkel is delighted to be part of the New Plastics Economy, and we're looking forward to working with partners to drive innovations that make a big impact," says Dr. Thorsten Leopold, Head of International Packaging Development for Home Care products. "Our company is in a strong position to make a valuable contribution to the NPEC because of its unique business model: On the one hand, Henkel can contribute as a manufacturer of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), like laundry detergent, shampoo or glue sticks. However, the company is also a global leader in adhesives and other advanced technologies that are used for packaging applications: These range from glues that seal boxes or secure product labels, through to functional and protective coatings for plastic packaging, and adhesives that hold the different layers of flexible packaging together. Taken together, this means we're able to offer expertise from both perspectives, as an FMCG manufacturer and a supplier of adhesives and other technologies: Which gives our teams a uniquely broad understanding of the challenges and possible solutions related to packaging."
Throughout its 140-year history, Henkel has leveraged its innovative power to drive leadership in sustainability. Commitment to leadership in sustainability is anchored firmly in Henkel's corporate values. In line with this commitment, Henkel's teams of packaging developers continually create innovative, intelligent and resource-efficient packaging solutions, by focusing on three principles: prevent, reduce, and reuse. This means producing less packaging and waste, developing better packaging and enabling a circular economy.
Henkel's innovations in sustainable packaging include the bottles for its premium brand Perwoll Wolle & Feines in Germany, which were manufactured with 15 percent recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) from post-consumer sources during a recent pilot project. Henkel's packaging experts were able to retain the luminous pink color of the Perwoll bottle without making any compromises on the performance or fragrance of the product. The company also collaborated with Ball Corporation, a manufacturer of metal packaging including cans, to develop a technology enabling the use of up to 25 percent recycled aluminum in cans for the deodorant sprays from Henkel's Fa, Souplesse and Neutromed brands. The buckets for Henkel's Metylan wallpaper paste are another example: They are made of 50 percent recycled material and 50 percent waste from industrial production that is fed back into the process for manufacturing new buckets.
Participating in the NPEC forms part of Henkel's comprehensive strategy for sustainable packaging. This is built around a set of key targets for the year 2020:
• Reduce the weight of packaging measured against net sales to 20 percent (base year 2010).
• Increase the proportion of recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) in bottles to 33 percent in Europe, and the proportion of recycled aluminum in cans to 9 percent.
• Reach more than 300 million consumers through more targeted information on recycling.
These targets pay into Henkel's overall sustainability strategy, which aims to triple the value it creates for the footprint made by its operations, products and services by the year 2030 (base year 2010). It calls this ambition to become three times more efficient "Factor 3".

Page 2: Promotion
A common feature of its marketing strategy is promotion, one of the four Ps. Samsung promotes its products in a variety of ways ranging from attending the relevant trade fairs for each of its products, to providing print brochures, posters and specification sheets.
Information about products is also available on Samsung's website and via brochure lines. Brochure lines are 0800 numbers which the public can use to find out more about specific products and at which retail outlets they are available. Samsung increases general brand awareness through corporate sponsorship, lending its support to such events as the Royal Windsor Horse Show and the Samsung Open tennis tournament.
All of these methods of promotion are available to support the launch of a specific product. The marketing approach for each product may vary, however they are co-ordinated and monitored by the marcoms division, Samsung's internal communications network. Marcoms maintain accurate product and dealer information on a database allowing the employees of
Samsung to monitor what form of promotion is available to what product and who is to be involved.
Samsung has played a leading role in the development of DVD (digital video discs), the revolutionary new format which provides near studio quality picture and sound reproduction using the latest digital technology. The data capacity of DVD is up to 26 times greater than that of a CD or CD-ROM, which means flexibility and quality can be vastly improved. Samsung has included all the most sophisticated features, but at a very keen price. As increasing numbers of electronics companies have launched DVD models, the average price has fallen consistently and was forecast to fall by 50 per cent during 1999.

Im having some trouble with blogging on my phone still, sorry.
These are of Steve taking Schooner sailing in the dinghy
My inside plants
Steve working on a project. He rebedded the pedestal in the cockpit but needed access in the quarter birth which is our storage area.
This is us waiting for our water taxi on the Cay on supply day with the other shoppers. Well the gringo shoppers. Its always an all day thing because you have to wait until the boats are unloaded then the stores are closed for lunch between 12-2.

These images are (reduced copies of) my final selection for the Square Mile assignment.
My Square Mile is the River Medway where it passes through Maidstone. The area encompasses the riverside paths and four bridges (one rail/foot bridge, two road bridges and a footbridge). Despite unpromising surroundings, a main road on most of one side and a trading estate on most of the other, it is well used as a leisure/recreation area. The river itself is used by pleasure-boaters, rowers and canoeists. The footpaths are used by joggers, anglers, dog walkers, swan-feeders and those just eating their lunches or walking from A to B. I have tried to cover most of the area and most of the activities.
The brief calls for 1500px images, suggesting the size of the old 5×3-inch enprints; I decided to go for a snapshot approach, using a snapshot camera. All photographs are shot on HP5+ film in an Olympus Trip 35.

Guest Reviews | Key West Hotel Reviews
My husband and I and 2 friends stayed at the Chelsea House Hotel for 2 nights. Believe me, we all wish we had more time to enjoy the wonderful facilities. John checked us in and informed us that we had been upgraded to a king room, we were quite surprised and delighted, and he was so informative and helpful. All front desk personnel were awesome and extremely welcoming and helpful. The manager, and I am so sorry I did not remember his name, is a definite plus for the establishment. Obviously we enjoyed our stay and will return very soon. Thanks for the excellent hospitality!!By: Nancy Sutton December 14, 2015

Frame rates
This will create a video slideshow (using the encoder libx264) from series of numerically sequential PNG images named img001.png, img002.png, img003.png, etc.
In this example each image will have a duration of 5 seconds (the inverse of 1/5 frames per second). By using a separate -r (frames per second) for the input and output you can control the duration at which each input is displayed and tell ffmpeg the frame rate you want for the output file. If the input -r is lower than the output -r ffmpeg will duplicate frames to reach your desired output frame rate. If the input -r is higher than the output -r ffmpeg will drop frames to reach your desired output frame rate.
If you want the input and output frame rates to be the same, then just declare an input -r and the output will inherit the same value.
Default for input is -r 25 which will be used if no -r is used.
ffmpeg -r 1/5 -i img%03d.png -c:v libx264 -r 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4
This will create a slideshow in which each image has a duration of 15 seconds:
ffmpeg -r 1/15 -i img%03d.png -c:v libx264 -r 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4
Important: All images in a series need to be of the same size and format.
Color space conversion and chroma sub-sampling
By default when using libx264, and depending on your input, ffmpeg will attempt to avoid color subsampling. Technically this is preferred, but unfortunately almost all video players and many online video services only support YUV 4:2:0. PNG uses the RGB color space, so when using PNG images as your input you must add -pix_fmt yuv420p or -vf format=yuv420p if you want maximum compatibility. You can omit this if you are using JPG images as inputs.
Using a glob pattern
ffmpeg also supports bash-style globbing (* represents any number of any characters). This is useful if your images are sequential but not necessarily in a numerically sequential order as in the previous examples.
ffmpeg -r 1 -pattern_type glob -i '*.jpg' -c:v libx264 out.mp4
For PNG images:
ffmpeg -r 1 -pattern_type glob -i '*.png' -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4
Using a single image as an input
If you want to create a video out of just one image, this will do (output video duration is set to 30 seconds with -t 30):
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i img.png -c:v libx264 -t 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4
Adding audio
If you want to add audio (e.g. audio.wav) to one "poster" image, you need -shortest to tell it to stop after the audio stream is finished. We use the internal AAC encoder, but you can use any other AAC encoder as well:
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i img.jpg -i audio.wav -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -strict experimental -b:a 192k -shortest out.mp4

This spring's international bodega will fill you with exotic rhythms! (If you're allowed to say that…) There will be hot feet and hips will be moving when Dragestil plays!

Dragestil will make it rock this international night!

Older CPUs designed by Intel (and cloned by other companies) used an external math coprocessor chip to perform floating-point operations. However, when Intel introduced the 486DX, it included a built-in math coprocessor, and every processor built by Intel (and AMD and VIA/Cyrix, for that matter) since then includes a math coprocessor. Coprocessors provide hardware for floating-point math, which otherwise would create an excessive drain on the main CPU. Math chips speed your computer's operation only when you are running software designed to take advantage of the coprocessor.
Most applications that formerly used floating-point math now use MMX/SSE instructions instead. These instructions are faster ...

text: As posted earlier, HCM provided the design for a new winter recreation facility for Lake Elmo Park Reserve. The purpose of the building is to act as a trail-head or warming house for winter park activities, including cross-country skiing; however it will be used throughout the year. The building is surrounding by beautiful landscape and wrapping around the site are various cross country ski trails for the public to enjoy. As you can see the project is almost complete. The interior finishes are being wrapped up while the exterior is still needs to be stained and the site work completed. The mild winter weather was unfortunate for those people wanting to get out and ski, however it was perfect for the contractor. The construction process has been great; Jorgenson and KA have done a great job with the pace and overall craftsmanship of the building. They care about the details and it shows! Can't wait to plan an HCM outing next winter to enjoy a fire looking over the beautiful trails!

ORLANDO, Fla. - Georgia's Amarlo Herrera will be trying to tackle Nebraska I-back Ameer Abdullah in Tuesday's Capital One Bowl.
But that didn't stop Abdullah from texting the Bulldogs linebacker this week after arriving in town in hopes of catching up with him.
They played together two years ago in the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Abdullah, who leads Nebraska with 1,089 rushing yards and eight touchdowns this year as a sophomore, played cornerback and had two interceptions in the game.
"He didn't know where he was going then," Herrera said. "He was a good DB. I just knew him at DB. He made big plays at DB. I didn't know he could play offense."
The 5-foot-9, 185-pound Abdullah, from Homewood, Ala., was viewed by most schools at a cornerback because of his size.
"Nebraska recruited me for the position I wanted to play, which is running back," he said. "They were the best fit for me."
He had a brother who played in-state at Auburn and he said the Tigers liked him as a cornerback. Auburn and Alabama didn't offer him until late in the recruiting process.
He said he knows fans in Alabama are passionate about the Crimson Tide and Tigers, but said Cornhusker fans may be more excited about their team.
He points to 50 consecutive years of sellouts at Memorial Stadium.
"That's a testament of what these fans bring to our program," he said.
He's watched film of Alabama rushing for 350 yards against Georgia in the SEC title game.
"They're susceptible to the run, but I know they can also stop the run," Abdullah said. "We can't go in thinking they let a lot of yards rushed on them on the ground. We can't just think we're going to walk in and run the ball on them. We've got to come off the ball and get good push from our o-line. We've got to run hard and finish our runs."
Herrera and his Georgia teammates will be trying to stop Abdullah and senior Rex Burkhead, who was limited to seven games this season with a knee injury.
"He's a really big kid, he's good," Abdullah said of Herrera. "He's grown a lot since I've seen him. It's going to be fun playing against some people back from the South, people you knew in high school."

Now that school has started, the clutter is back. Kids tend to come home and drop their school gear anywhere and everywhere. Papers, folders, school bags, writing utensils, books etc... get scattered around the entire home, and sometimes, even lost!

Here is a simple solution. Top Shelf Garage (TSG) offers 2,3, and 4 shelf units that come in many different sizes to meet your needs. TSG's storage solutions are made in the USA with heavy-duty, recycled plastic which is chemical and weather resistant. They are sturdy, durable, long-lasting and will stand the test of time.

TSG's storage systems are modular and lightweight so they can easily be taken apart and used for other purposes such as below. A table for your kids to their school work and messy projects. Just wipe clean!

I have been retired for two months. Between my projects, this website and travel my time is occupied. In fact, I enjoy myself immensely!
I want to touch on recent world events that have impacted how we see things and act towards each other. The last several years our nation has become divided over politics, race, gun control, abortion national security, etc. We are still in the midst of name calling and investigations.
Dwelling on these topics may cause depression and turmoil among friends and family members. I have a solution.
Turn off the news and give social media a rest for a few days. I don't think we realize how much our psyche is controlled by just what we read, post and follow on social media.
Focus on family and friends, but not through social media.
I have friends that I converse with on social media sometimes daily. Some of them I have never met in person. Most of these friends are introduced to me from other friends on social media that have similar interests. This is the problem.
Our blogs, emails and other forms of communication usually focus on one topic depending on the friend I am conversing with. Current events usually influence the topics. Current events are seldom uplifting. Newspapers have a saying, "If it bleeds it leads."
For example this website is for and about first responders. Most first responders have a dangerous job. It stands to reason that there will be blogs about death. I try to temper the blog with humorous memes to lighten the topic.
If you find yourself in the dumps, do yourself a favor. Turn off social media. FB, blogs, text messages and news feeds on your devices can be an information overload.
I'm going to post a couple of guest blogs today, then I'm leaving town for a mini vacation. I was going to take my computer to stay updated on comments and contact me messages but I've decided to give it a rest.
Our house sitter is arriving tonight and I'll be back soon.
It's time to concentrate on family and friends face to face.
Editors Note: My former criminal justice professor, Howie Katz is turning 91 tomorrow. We're going to celebrate his birthday over lunch today. Face to face. Happy Birthday Howie!

Gracie Mansion might be dubbed the "People's House" — but the only folks enjoying the taxpayer-owned landmark these days are the de Blasios.
No public tours have been allowed at the circa-1799 Upper East Side manse since Hizzoner and family moved in nearly six months ago.
The red carpet has remained rolled up despite promises in June, when the de Blasios began moving from their Park Slope home to the new digs, that tours would resume in September after they were settled.
"What's he hiding? Why is he not letting people in?" wondered neighbor Rose Rafferty, 75.
"We do pay his salary and it's not his house," she fumed. "It's a shame he's not opening it up for the adults that elected him and more for the children of the adults that elected him."
The latest revelation comes after The Post reported the mayor ordered the installation, without permits, of a 10-foot-tall fence inside a 6-foot-high brick wall to keep the public's prying eyes from his yard. City Hall said the barrier was for security reasons.
The mayor's need for seclusion is a far cry from when Mayor Rudy Giuliani lived there with his family. Back then, public tours were available every Wednesday and Thursday morning, according to 2001 press reports.
In the Bloomberg years, when the mansion was empty, access increased — with two days for school tours and a day for public visitors every week.
"I would like to take my kids there," said father-of-two Sammie Arthur, 45, a Brownsville resident who works on the Upper East Side. "I find it troubling that if I'm able to go to the White House in Washington, DC, I should also be able to go to the mayor's house in my own city."
The Gracie Mansion Conservancy voicemail says the tour program is "temporarily unavailable" and will resume in the spring.
City Hall confirmed Saturday that tours had been suspended and will resume next year, but its explanation was murky.
"Staff is working on a new program that is more representative of all of New York," said mayoral spokesperson Rebecca Katz. She did not elaborate on what was meant by "representative."
The Conservancy's Facebook page hasn't been updated since late September.
"There's no more tours," said an NYPD cop working the security detail at the mansion Saturday.

Cannabis Karma is Bringing the Essential Good Vibes on #420one
When Princess Mirabal created Cannabis Karma, it was out of the need for setting the tone of a space that encouraged the normalization of using marijuana for recreational purposes.
The goal was not only to entertain people of "like-minded" perspective, but to encourage those people to work together, experience art together and do their part to normalize the usage of marijuana. Similarly to how available and frequent the usage of alcohol has become, those who engage in marijuana consumption should have cool, safe places for adults to gather in celebration in a relaxed lounge environment.
Princess Mirabal brought in her experience and friends from the culture of the Burning Man festival to curate a space from top to bottom. From decorations to the kind of music played, Cannabis Karma was born with a weekly pop up event structure hosting over 350 people each week.
More than a lounge, Cannabis Karma creates a sacred space with art installations, goddesses, weed fairies, themed concepts and wardrobes. Depending on the event, there might even be fire breathers and fire spinners. In short, the entertainment value is through the roof.
At The National Cannabis Festival, party goers will experience a full Bohemian smoking hookah lounge with marble tables, full carpeting and the Cannabis Karma standard of chilled out vibes. Because the events are word of mouth, the ambiance of the crowd is one you won't want to miss.
Here's a few words from Princess Mirabal on the concepts and design of Cannabis Karma. Don't miss the exhibitor fair this year at RFK Stadium! See you on #420one
Describe the uniqueness that is the Cannabis Karma brand.
The CK brand uniqueness stems from our passion and commitment to our community. Our mission is to normalize the adult consumption of cannabis in a relaxed chilled environment which includes event planning and consulting.
Talk about the creative process that goes into your weekly pop-ups and how the Mondays have grown since the inception.
Strategically we conceptualized our brand expanding. In doing so we created our weekly pop up events that has captured the attention of an eclectic, diverse and thriving community. I simply wanted to spread the Cannabis Karma with like minded people.
What can we expect from the Cannabis Karma activation at the National Cannabis Festival this year?
You can expect us to bring "good vibes" and energy that will transcend throughout this community.

Robo advisors are increasingly growing in popularity, and these automated services are threatening to take huge amounts of business away from traditional financial advisors.
Multiple different segments of the investing public have already taken advantage of robo advisors for a variety of reasons. Many traditional financial advisors have decided to work cooperatively with robo advisors rather than try to compete with them directly, and this strategy has helped streamline the process and reduce costs.
Millennials use robo advisors because they remove the perceived "guess work" out of investing, which provides a measure of comfort to hesitant millennial investors. And often, robo advisors offer cheaper fees than human advisors, which also makes them attractive to this group.
And retirees and high net worth individuals can often test robo advisors because they have more disposable income.
But which robo advisor should you use?
To help you narrow down the choices, BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has decided to review some of the most popular robo advisors on the market to help you make the most informed decision.
In this article, we'll cover Moneyfarm.

Moneyfarm in 2017 vs 2018
Despite a recent regulatory crackdown on robo advisors, Moneyfarm continues to grow. The company announced in May of 2018 that it raised £40 million in Series B funding - the largest funding round by a European digital wealth manager to date - from Allianz Asset Management.
Moneyfarm Review Summary
Moneyfarm is a robo advisor currently available only to residents of the U.K. and Italy who are age 18 or older. The automated financial manager is an excellent entry point for those investors, particularly those who have managed their money online in the past. Moneyfarm offers a Stocks and Shares Individual Savings Accounts (ISA), a type of investment created by the U.K. government, along with a General Investment Account and personal pension.
- Assets Under Management (AUM):£400 million
- Minimum Account Balance: £1
- Fee Range: 0.4% to 0.7% per year
- Account Types: ISAs, General Investment Account, and Pension (SIPP)
- Services: Human Support, Mobile App, Always-on Monitoring, Advice Center, Simple Fees
- Promotion: The Money to the Masses offer gets your first £15,000 managed free for one year
Moneyfarm Fees & Pricing
Moneyfarm uses Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs), an investment type created by the U.K. government that provides tax-free allowances. There are two types of main ISAs: Cash ISAs and Stocks and Shares ISAs. Investors can pay into multiple ISAs in the same year. Each person has an annual ISA allowance of £20k, but they can split this across as many ISA types as they see fit (e.g. Stocks & Shares, Cash, Lifetime ISA, Help to Buy ISA, Innovation ISA etc.). Moneyfarm currently offers a Stocks & Shares ISA.
Moneyfarm has a £1 minimum account requirement, but the company suggests that you invest at least £1,500 to have an optimally balanced portfolio.
As for fees, Moneyfarm's system is as follows:
- £1 to £20,000: 0.7% (although you can get the first £15,000 managed free for one year)
- £20,001 to £100,000: 0.6%
- £100,001 to £500,000: 0.5%
- £500,000 or more: 0.4%
The company automatically deducts its fees quarterly from your account and calculates them using the following formula:
(Sum of daily portfolio value x Annual fee %) / 365
Moneyfarm AUM, Returns, & Portfolio Performance
Moneyfarm currently has 26,000 active investors and £400m assets under management. As previously mentioned, in 2018, the company secured £40m in the largest European fundraising of its kind.
As for returns, Yodelar tracked Moneyfarm's 2017 growth and overall performance for investments both over and under £50,000, across all six Moneyfarm risk levels. The results were as follows:
Moneyfarm Features
If Moneyfarm had a weakness, it was the company's lack of robust features for its robo advisor. But recently the company has taken steps to enhance its service. Here's a basic rundown of what Moneyfarm has to offer:
- Human Support: Moneyfarm has trained specialists who can provide hands-on support and explain the advice people have been given and talk through market fluctuations.
- Always-on Monitoring: All Moneyfarm portfolios are monitored round-the-clock by a team of human experts that make up an Investment Committee, rebalancing them whenever necessary.
- Advice Center: The new investment Advice Center simplifies and makes it easier for people to get investment advice on an ongoing basis, periodically prompting customers to update key information to make sure their portfolio continues to meet their financial goals.
- Simple Fees: Fees are calculated according to the total AUM you have across all your Moneyfarm portfolios, meaning if you invest with Moneyfarm in a number of ways (e.g. ISA and a pension) you will be rewarded by paying less.
- Mobile App: Moneyfarm's mobile app lets you review your portfolio, evaluate performance, analyze asset allocation, and withdraw money from your account.
Moneyfarm Competitors
Moneyfarm stacks up extremely well compared to its peers in many respects, but it undoubtedly has a handful of weaknesses when compared to other robo advisors.
The £1 minimum account requirement makes Moneyfarm extremely attractive to new or inexperienced investors (even the £1,500 suggested minimum is reasonable). Betterment and Hedgeable both have no minimum, while WiseBanyan has a $1 requirement. Wealthfront, meanwhile, carries a $500 minimum, while SigFig requires $2,000 and Ally Invest Management Portfolios requires $2,500. Other companies have even higher minimums, such as FutureAdvisor ($10,000), Schwab Intelligent Portfolio ($5,000), and Personal Capital ($25,000). But none of these touch Vanguard's dollar amount of $50,000.
With regard to management fees, Moneyfarm unfortunately starts at 0.70%, which is on the higher end of the spectrum compared to other robo advisors. The 0.6% fee for the next tier is slightly more manageable, but it requires a significant portfolio balance (£20,000). But let's take a look at some other robo advisors.
SigFig has a 0.25% fee, while Betterment carries a range of 0.25% to 0.45% for their non-Plus and non-Premium accounts. And FutureAdvisor charges a flat 0.5% fee.
More to Learn
Moneyfarm is just one of the many robo advisors on the market, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

It all Depends on How We See
Job 31:4
Does God not see my ways, and number all my steps?
Hebrews 4:13 (NIV)
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
On a good day, it makes me happy. On a very bad day it brings me comfort. Most days, however, I don't think of it all that much: God's all-seeing eye upon the steps of my life. Once in a while we, like Jonah, might try to hide from God. Once in a while we might even cringe to think of God's awareness, knowledge, watchfulness, and uncovering.
Those, however, who embrace the goodness of God, and see him as a loving and merciful Father in heaven, who sent his Son to die for us and our salvation, will delight in the omniscience of God. That God knows and sees all things is good because he is good. His steadfast love endures forever. Great is his faithfulness.
There is, however, an edge to God's all-knowing and all-seeing nature. Because God is also just, there will be an accounting. Our actions matter to him. Our way of life for good or ill is weighed in the scales of his justice. We know and believe that Jesus balances those scales. We also know that God deeply desires that we act and live as though we are his children, and not children of wrath and rebellion.
How do you see God? Do you know and believe that he sees you with eyes of grace and love?

Hydration Options on the Trail
Whether you are training in December in Utah or summer in Arizona, the need for proper hydration on your runs is ever present. How are you going to make sure you have access to water and electrolytes? There are several options out there from hydration packs that you wear on your back, belts with bottles around your waist, and handhelds. I even recently just purchased a tank top with a pocket built in to the back to hold a small bottle. Within all of these options, there are literally hundreds of types of packs, belts and handhelds. It all boils down to preference. If you are running longer than 3 hours on a trail, it is more likely that you'll want to invest in a hydration pack as it has a larger storage capacity sufficient to keep you hydrated for extended periods of time. I personally don't like how belts feel while I run and can't stand holding things in my hand so I prefer a pack even on my shorter runs. I usually keep two packs in my rotation - a larger capacity pack with a 2 liter bladder and lots of pockets for fuel and gear for long mountain days and a minimal pack that holds two 17 ounce bottles for most of my two hour or shorter runs during the week.

Issue 12
July 2019
Need PayPal? Click here!
Penultimate Magazine is a magazine for lettering artists, produced BY lettering artists. Penultimate comes out on a bi-monthly basis and has a new theme each edition - from brush pens, to pointed pens, to watercolour and more. The magazine includes interviews with artists, product recommendations, reviews, how-tos, tips and tricks, insider info, community events and workshops and much, much more!
ISSUE TWELVE is... STILL NOT THEMED! We are continuing on with our open slather approach to content (although... we are focusing *a little* on processes). You'll find an interview (video and transcript) with Nina Sandelin Umont of @sandelindesigns where we chat all about her calligraphy engraving and high-profile clients. Dom tells you how NOT to manage your time. Kirstyn shows us her top secret tip to nailing large scale chalkboards. Jen helps us become system savvy. Bonnie gives us some flatlay tips, Emma shows you how to edit those photos using a free phone app, and Lesley then shows you how to plan out your social media - what a trifecta! We also talk about the creative process, how to get out of a creative rut (including what YOU guys told us you do during a funk), how to quote for custom artwork commissions - and our brush lettering, pointed pen and watercolour updates are back, as well as some more 'not intended for' supplies you can use for art.
This is a DIGITAL version of the magazine which will be made available to you after purchase - you will not receive a physical copy.
This is for ONE EDITION only. This is not a subscription. It is to order Issue Eleven of Penultimate Magazine. Please check the homepage for subscription options.
Penultimate is a BI-MONTHLY magazine, which means it comes out once every 2 months (so, 6 times per year)
**due to the image-heavy nature of this Magazine, the file size is quite large. You can read the magazine online, but to avoid blowing your data, make sure you're connected to wifi before downloading a copy to your device**
Is Penultimate a printed magazine?
Nope. Penultimate Magazine is now a fully digital magazine. Issues 1-8 are plain PDF files, but from Issue 9 onward we have more dynamic content in addition to the PDF magazine, such as downloadable files, video interviews, video demos and more! You will not receive a printed magazine.
...Can I print the magazine?
Yes, you can! You are entitled to print ONE copy of the magazine once purchased. When you login to your account and access the mag, there will be a little download link so that you can save it to your device, and either read it in your own PDF reader, or print yourself a copy.
How do I access the magazine?
Once you 'enrol' (or purchase) the magazine, you'll be prompted to either create an account or login to an existing Teachable account you have. Once purchased and logged in, the Magazine will be under 'My Courses' (menu in top right corner of screen) after it's release date.
How long do I have access to the magazine?
For as long as the internet exists!
How can I pay in PayPal?
You can pay through PayPal by clicking here, and selecting the magazine(s) of your choice. Unfortunately the Teachable platform doesn't allow PayPal for $AUD currencies, but if you click the link in the previous sentence, you can complete your purchase through Black Chalk Collective's Shopify store which has more payment options. Once you've purchased through there, please wait 15 minutes for an enrolment email. Our fancy-pants system will automatically enrol you in the magazine you bought (and even create an account for you if you haven't got one already).
Is this a subscription?
Nup, this is for one edition of the magazine. You can find subscriptions on the home page.
Are refunds available?
Sorry, no. Due to the digital nature of the magazine and the instant access, we are unable to offer refunds once you've accessed the material. Please consider before purchasing.
Who can I contact if I have any questions?
Our editor, Emma! [email protected] - Emma will try to help you with your query, however, if it is something technical related, we may have to refer you to Teachable.
