Bahamas, San Salvador: Bahamas National Trust seeks to establish a National Park system
Published: 2014-06-16 23:00:00
Countries: Bahamas
This partnership has led to a number of critical areas around the Island being identified as part of the new park system, these 5 areas include:
Great Lake Park:
This park area includes the Great Lake on the interior of the island which will also include the mangroves up to the high water mark. There are at least 3 different types of reptiles living on the islets within the Great Lakes including the highly endangered San Salvador Rock iguana. This area, as a part of the park system, would help to also protect a number of different bird types including some herons and cormorants that nest on the interior.
Pigeon Creek Park:
This area is the only tidal body of water flowing into an inlet on the island. The mangroves and sea grass beds makes it the perfect nursery for all kinds of juvenile marine life, from groupers to starfish, stingrays to sharks and turtles. San Salvador being isolated from the Bahama Banks relies on this area as its main source of fisheries replenishment.
Grahams Harbor:
This park area with its extensive sea grass and eel grass beds as well as coral reef serve as a very important breeding ground for conch and other marine animals. It also houses a number of cays such as Green Cay - home to the largest population of San Salvador Rock Iguanas - and also Cato, Gaulin and White Rock Cay nesting sites for migrating sea birds. San Salvador has more species of sea birds nesting on and around these Cays than any other Island in the Bahamas.
West Coast Dive Site protected Area:
For over 40 years San Salvador has been a dive community. It has been ranked as high as number 3 diving spot in the world by Dive Magazine and Scuba Magazine. Designating this site for protection ensures an increase in the fish populations within the area, which means more for the divers to see, increasing the tourist dollars to this already lucrative market, and ensuring further stimulation of the Islands economy.
Greens Bay Park:
This area protects a major iguana population on Crab Cay. Its rocky shoreline also helps to protect visiting White tailed Tropic Birds and Audubon Shearwaters. The peninsula also helps to protect the reefs from potential dangers from Storrs Lake, a salt pond should it be opened to the sea.

In Postojna Cave, one of the most fascinating karst caves in the world, baby olms (also known as human fish) are expected in the next few weeks. This is an extremely rare occurrence, as baby olms have hatched in an aquarium only once thus far, in France in the middle of the last century. So the miraculous birth, which is being carefully followed by people from all around the world is an incredible opportunity to visit the karst underground and meet its famous denizen, also known as "the little dragon."
A cave miracle under the watchful eye of the whole world
This cave miracle, which usually happens in the depths of underground waters, is now happening before the eyes of visitors, in an aquarium that you can reach by underground train. Because olms are hard to find in nature, this is the only way for us to get to know them more closely. It is for this very reason that the anticipation of the new generation of olms is such a special and rare phenomenon, which is also being carefully followed by biologists from all around the world.
The first egg was noticed by one of the tour guides at Postojna Cave at the end of January. He immediately informed the cave biologists, who also could not believe that Slovenia got another chance to welcome baby olms into the world in such a short period of time. One of the female olms at Postojna Cave hatched eggs in 2013 as well, but no young were able to develop at that time. This time, biologists are handling the eggs much more carefully: they are developing nicely, and the baby olms are already growing tails. Because olms hatch after about four months, the time is approaching when Slovenia will be able to welcome the young, so we will have the opportunity to see and care for "dragon" babies, which has happened once before in history.
A mysterious mythological creature
Although olms have lived in caves for millions of years, very little is known about them. People first saw olms in the 17th century, when a river flushed them out of their natural habitat due to heavy rainfall. They were named "small dragons" due to their size and red gills, which resemble a baroque collar.
Today, we know that the olm, also known as proteus, is the only vertebrate living exclusively underground. This small animal is fully adjusted to living in the dark, because its skin does not contain protective pigment, and the pale pink colour of its skin is due to the capillaries under it. The olm could advise us how to live long, as it lives up to 100 years, and its life is very slow and inactive. It has "mythological" characteristics because of the 'poor appetite' – the olm can survive for up to ten years without food, and it only reproduces every six or seven years. It is blind, it does not even have eyes, but in addition to sharpened senses of smell and hearing, it also feels its surroundings by detecting electrical energy and magnetic waves.
A ceremonial gift
The fact that Slovenians, prior to the introduction of the euro, kept the olm in their wallets, depicted on their coins, is also proof that they are aware of the importance of this mysterious cave animal. In Yugoslavia, President Tito offered them as ceremonial gifts.
A sign of clean water
The most important aspect of the olm is certainly that it only lives in extremely clean water. If the olm disappears from a body of water, this indicates that it is polluted, so Slovenians are exceedingly glad that these "small dragons" have lived in here underground for so long. It would be hard to give up our water, which is drinkable almost throughout the country.
Not only is the water in Slovenia clean, but it also covers a significant part of its territory. Local people can enjoy no less than 1300 natural and artificial lakes, sources, waterfalls, rivers, and the sea. The 27,000 kilometres of the highly ramified network of rivers and 54,000 kilometres of river banks and lake shores make this small country one of the richest countries in the world when it comes to water resources.
One of the most beautiful caves in the world
Postojna Cave is considered one of the most beautiful and the most biologically diverse karst caves in the world. The River Pivka created a magical world of tunnels, underground halls and dripstone galleries under its surface, which have been attracting visitors for over 200 years.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

100 Drawings and National Security
100 drawings (count em) had to go to final art in about 6 days, here. The sketches were laying around for weeks. Great art director, great client. Circumstances conspired against us all in the end-game.
Now that I'm done, here's a National Security suggestion for these troubling times:
I'd like to recommend 100 final drawings in six days to the CIA as a sure fire way to turn a completely and otherwise rational man into a blubbering grease spot of his former self. He will, by day six, tell you anything you want to know. The method comes complete, with a customary bright light focused on the subject day and night. Last minute changes to finals are suggested to create further distress and self-doubt . Our national security folks should know: You will break any man, he will tell you anything you want to know using this cruel but completely acceptable method of gathering important intelligence.

Corrective Services Commission - licensing of filling operations, Silverwater Prison Complex
The ICAC investigated the circumstances surrounding the granting and enforcement of a licence to excavate, fill and otherwise operate on land at or near the Silverwater Prison Complex to Bradshaw Waste Industries Pty Ltd by the Corrective Services Commission or the Department of Corrective Services, after January 1982, and the conduct of persons, including present and former public officials.
In its investigation report, made public in February 1990, the ICAC stated that there was insufficient evidence to warrant consideration of the prosecution of any person for any offence, or the taking of disciplinary action against any person, or the taking of action against any public official with a view to dismissal.

MANILA-- The European Union (EU) has committed some 6.1 million euros to the Philippines for the Trade-Related and Technical Assistance Project Phase Four (TRTA-4), EU Ambassador to the Philippines Franz Jessen said.
We are committed to support the strengthening of Philippines' integration into the world economy, and to contribute to the country's inclusive growth goals, he said during the closing ceremony of the TRTA-3 in Pasig City Tuesday.
The support for TRTA-4 will be for the next four years.
The EU and the Philippines started the TRTA in 2005.
The TRTA-3, which ran from 2014 to 2017, has focused on trade policy, competition policy, national quality infrastructure, sanitary and phytosanitary conformity, and trade facilitation.
It also supported activities of various government agencies such as Department of Trade and Industry's (DTI) Philippine Export Development Plan as well as giving training and capacity building for staff of the Department of Agriculture, Food and Drug Administration, Department of Justice's Office for Competition, and Bureau of Customs.
Under the TRTA-3, the Philippine Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (PhilRASFF) was launched.
The PhilRASFF is a web-based alert system for food authorities to immediately respond to food safety incidents.
This will be in cooperation with EU RASFF and ASEAN RASFF and the International Network of Food Safety Authorities (INFOSAN), in which parties will be exchanging information on food safety incidents.
By working on trade-related issues through the project, the EU and the Philippines collaborated on strengthening the framework for trade policy for inclusive growth, and enhancing our capacity to implement a competition policy and a national quality infrastructure that would protect consumers and improve compliance with international standards, DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez said.
Trade is a lever for economic growth, job creation, and poverty reduction. As ASEAN chair in 2017, the Philippines also recognizes the strong implications of trade for regional cooperation and stability, he added.

Barbourville, city, seat of Knox county, southeastern Kentucky, U.S. It lies on the Cumberland River, in the Cumberland Mountains, and is a gateway to Daniel Boone National Forest. It was founded in 1800 and named for James Barbour, who donated land for the town site. Union College was established there by the Methodist Church in 1879. The Dr. Thomas Walker State Historic Site, 6 miles (10 km) south of the city, has a replica of the log cabin (the first house in Kentucky) built in 1750 by Walker, who explored the region and named the Cumberland Gap. During the American Civil War, Confederate troops attacked a small Union force there (September 19, 1861), Kentucky's first encounter of the war.
Barbourville is an agricultural trading centre (tobacco, timber, vegetables, and sorghum) and has some light industry. Tourism is also important to the economy. A floodwall protects the city from the meandering Cumberland River. Pop. (2000) 3,589; (2010) 3,165.

Some days at Microsoft, we do things that just make you go, "Hmmmmmm…." Other days, we do things that you just want to share with everyone, and today is one of those days! Today we posted a release about, "Microsoft and Feeding America Join Forces to Fight Hunger," where Microsoft and Feeding America have partnered up to help fight hunger in the United States through the "Browser for the Better" campaign. So what is this campaign and how can you join and help?
It is simple, really. For every completed download of Internet Explorer 8, Microsoft's Browser for the Better campaign (running today through Aug. 8, 2009*) will donate the financial equivalent of eight meals to Feeding America's network of 206 local food banks, which supplies food to more than 25 million Americans each year. The ways you can help are:
- Head out to the "Browser for the Better" campaign site and download Internet Explorer 8.
- Spread the word about the "Browser for the Better" campaign to your peers and those you know through your word of mouth, blogs, newsgroups, newsletters, etc. After all, the more people who participate, the more of an impact we can have on helping feed needy people through this campaign.
I hope you will help us in this campaign by utilizing the "Browser for the Better" campaign site for your Internet Explorer 8 download today and by helping us spread the word to increase the number of meals we can share. Also, for those of you coming to Worldwide Partner Conference in New Orleans, this July, be sure to join us in giving back – WPC Day of Giving, Sunday, July 12 in New Orleans.
Thank you and have a wonderful day,

I think it's fair to say that you're either a bath person or a shower person?
|To the left you can see the shower doors. It's built in, same subway wall tile and floor tiles. Toilet sits hidden on the other side of that wall.
My vision for the bathroom was crystal clear in my head, but I had no pictures or anything to show people so finding the right floor tiles that were close to concrete in texture and colour was a mission. I was thrilled when i found these at Salvatore Ceramics at Brendale - the subway tile for the walls was the perfect match.
Pedestal basin and antique bevelled mirror with an old broom cupboard for storage (thanks to Katherine at the Old Boathouse ... 3years ago now) which we spruced up. Was hard to find a tall skinny cupboard that wasn't new laminate. I toyed between this idea and some kartell stackable drawers. Definitely happy with this.
|We added trimming, shelves inside, laquered black and added a new hardware.
|Since the old goods and chattals shop closed down at Woollongabba 2 years ago i have found solace in Paddington hardware for great handles which is where i snagged this stunner.
|We added VJ panelling to the cove where the toilet is (it's just to the left of the cupboard- no need to witness) and linen cupboard sits in behind the louvred door there too. That wall was painted in such a perfect shade of light grey. 'White Gazebo' by Dulux. An antique wooden towel rail takes care of the bath mat

Atomic Mastering – Likely the most well-liked educational resolution for self assist tutorials on a selection of technology locations. In the age of the web other technologies geeks have emerged and they have began new websites and blogs to update other technologies geeks with cool news on gadgets. Develop group sites with significant content from projects, the most recent sales supplies or specifics about the firm picnic. I enjoy these mini sets mainly because, honestly, I've In no way gone through and entire bottle of typical sized nail polish.
Dane, Winfield, and Bird make up the one of a kind combination of Georgia Tech students and alumni who share the passionate hatred for all issues University sic of Georgia. We need to generate a number of sub sites inside a web-site collection with template as group web site. We've located new web pages that give functionalities not found elsewhere, but we've also included a handful of that have been about for a when, but have seriously come into their own in current years. Compared to internet sites like Reddit, the userbase is tiny, but the content material over there is pretty intriguing. How-To Geek might be an on-line tech magazine but trust me, that is not just what it all covers.
Ahead of I go into detail about some of the certain tech healthcare ID bracelet brands accessible on the market place right now, here's some simple info about how tech healthcare ID bracelets function and who can advantage from wearing one. Gizmodo is design and style and technologies weblog about anything that concerns cool new dogital stuff and gizmos.
There are some red dot sites on the market that have up to a 6 MOA dot which is superior for close variety but not as effective at distances previous 100 yards. It could be tempting to grab a cheap tablet during a promotion, but be aware that from time to time, the specs on those really inexpensive tech gifts are typically very standard. Use Google search to obtain the correct facts across all of your internal internet sites. These web pages under have been viewed as from each a purchaser and seller point of view. TechGuru is a major technologies web page, devoted to software, gadgets, tech news and critiques.
Several of the tech ID bracelets have a fashionable, sporty look and the typical person might not even know you're wearing a healthcare ID bracelet. So whilst my nephew's fancy, wildly age-inappropriate birthday present is the hottest piece of tech on the market suitable now, it is virtually guaranteed to be outdated prior to the little guy hits puberty—who knows what phones will look like then! Youngsters can be tough on tech products, and so when it comes to buying tech gifts for young children, it's quite crucial to keep the prospective for harm in thoughts. I primarily lined the red dot up to my iron websites and then tweaked it minimally from there.

What Is An AtheistQUESTION: What is an Atheist?
Richard Watson states in his 1831 book, A Biblical and Theological Dictionary: "Atheist, in the strict and proper sense of the word, is one who does not believe in the existence of a god, or who owns no being superior to nature."
Robert Flint, in his 1885 book Anti-Theistic Theories states: "Every man is an atheist who does not believe that there is a God."
Strong Atheism
The strong atheist, also known as an explicit atheist or a positive atheist, denies the existence of God or any other deities. This person's views are based solely on what can be found to be true using the scientific method. Since the existence of God cannot be proven using science, the strong atheist concludes that God doesn't exist.
Weak Atheism
The second type of atheist is the weak atheist, also known as an implicit atheist or a negative atheist. This person does not deny the existence of God outright, but rather claims a religious relativism. That is, she would claim that anyone's belief can be true for that person, but she doesn't believe in God herself.
An Atheistic Worldview What are the implications for a religious atheist? Without God, he arrives at the necessary philosophies of moral relativism and naturalism. But does his view line up with objective reality? And is there any evidence for a God?

Bahamians like our sets and pairs. Peas n' Rice, Gin & Coconut Water, Sunshine & Sand. But there seems to be a disconnect between law enforcement and the justice system.
It is deceptive to scoff at the police in the face of the ludicrous crime in our country. But I'm of the mindset that our police force wants to and genuinely tries to do a good job. Even stripped of adequate tools and funding the Royal Bahamas Police Force catches crooks. This is despite the government openly fighting to prevent paying Police their deserved overtime, despite slashed budgets and despite having just one boat to patrol all of Abaco.
The most pressing example of this: the highly public capture of three boat thieves red handed several weeks ago. Those three men are set to be released by the court system. Look to page seven for the full details of this fiasco.
But the story's abridged version is this: despite overwhelming evidence (see: "Caught Red Handed") if the boat's owner is not present at trial the case will be thrown out. Why would the owner not show up? Abaco is his second home and it costs a lot of money to get here from where he currently is. Couple that with the fact that "court dates" in our country are remarkably fluid, it is easy to understand why the victim is not keen on dropping a couple grand to show up to what should be an open and shut case and not even have the guarantee his efforts would be justified.
His frustration, and ours, is excruciating.
But this is currently the law of the land. And unless our North Abaco MP is able to convince his colleagues in Cabinet that there needs to be a new approach to matters such as these, well, then, it appears our police force's efforts are in vain.
Get to know these thieves faces. Because they may be applying for a job at your marina soon.

NSEA-Retired Insurance & Medicare Support
Insurance and Medicare Supplement
Health insurance is an important part of retirement. If you are 65 or older when you retire, you will go onto Medicare when the insurance from your school district stops. If you are insured with the Blue Cross plans from Educators Health Alliance (EHA), you will receive a mailing from Blue Cross about 4-6 weeks before your insurance coverage ends giving you information on NSEA-Retired BlueSenior Classic Medicare Supplement with optional dental coverage. This is the ONLY Medicare supplement that is endorsed by NSEA-Retired and underwritten by Blue Cross. The mailing comes automatically from Blue Cross in a plain, white envelope with a green sticker on the front indicating that the envelope contains information about NSEA-Retired BlueSenior Classic. This is the only notice you will receive on our endorsed Medicare supplement. Fill out the forms that are in the envelope and return them by the deadlines listed in the mailing to enroll in NSEA-Retired BlueSenior Classic.
As you approach age 65, you will receive many mailings from insurance companies promoting their Medicare supplement products. Be careful! Blue Cross calls its general Medicare supplement "BlueSenior Classic." If you do not see the name NSEA-Retired BlueSenior Classic on the materials, and if you do not have the option to select dental coverage, it is not the supplement that NSEA-Retired endorses.
If you are not enrolled in an EHA plan when you turn 65, or if you selected COBRA coverage when you retired, you may enroll in NSEA-Retired BlueSenior Classic if you are a member of NSEA-Retired. You will need to call Blue Cross about 60 days before your insurance coverage ends to request that enrollment information be sent to you. Call Blue Cross at 1-800-562-6394 to request the enrollment information. Be sure to identify yourself as a member of NSEA-Retired to ensure that the proper forms are sent to you.
Since your EHA coverage ends on August 31 of the year that you retire, you will need to have your Medicare coverage start with an effective date of September 1 of that year. Your Medicare supplement should also begin coverage on September 1. You will also need to sign up for Medicare Part D, the prescription drug benefit for Medicare, with a start date of September 1. The procedures that you need to follow to sign up for Medicare are outlined in Health insurance after you retire, a guide to post-retirement insurance options prepared by NSEA-Retired. CLICK HERE to download this useful guide.
If you are younger than 65 when you retire, you have the option of continuing your EHA coverage as a direct-bill, early-retiree subscriber. The forms explaining the insurance options available to you will be sent automatically by Blue Cross about 4-6 weeks before your coverage ends -- for most individuals, this will be in mid-July, since your coverage through your school district typically ends on August 31 of the year you retire. Fill out the forms and return them by the deadline listed in the mailing to be sure that your coverage will begin on time.
In order to participate in EHA early-retiree coverage, you must also be a Special Services member of NSEA. The fees for NSEA Special Services are determined by your membership status when you retire. If you retire as an NSEA member, your Special Services fees will include NSEA-Retired annual dues unless you are a life member of NSEA-Retired. You can become a life member of NSEA-Retired at any time during your teaching career to avoid the annual retired dues payment. Click on the JOIN NOW link at the top of this web page to enroll now as a life member of NSEA-Retired. Special Services fees only last as long as you need early-retiree coverage -- typically until age 65.
Individuals who are married when they retire may select two single retiree policies (one for each spouse) rather than retiree-and-spouse coverage. Both individuals must pay Special Services fees in order to have two single policies. The premiums for two single policies are lower than for retiree-and-spouse coverage. It is less expensive to enroll with two single policies when you retire, even after paying Special Services fees for both individuals.
Additional information about the three early-retiree coverage options available from EHA is featured on the main web page for NSEA-Retired. The handouts from the early-retiree seminars that NSEA-Retired holds each year are on that page and can be downloaded and viewed for more complete information.
If you have questions about how to sign up for our Medicare supplement, be sure to call Blue Cross at 1-800-562-6394 to get help. If you call the general Blue Cross number on the back of your membership card, you will not be connected to service representatives who have knowledge of our Medicare supplement.

When I realized how many heart baubles had accumulated in my bead box, I decided it was time to finally do something with them. The result is this cute heart bracelet, which I made just in time for Valentine's Day.
So where are the hearts from? Some are from pieces of broken jewelry, like the sparkly rhinestone and pearl charm. It was part of a pin that was one of my go-to accessories in the '80s. (It was in style then, I think.) Other hearts are leftovers from projects gone by. To get the hearts ready for stringing, I gave them hanging wires and dressed them up with more beads.And now for the easy part -- crocheting the beads onto a strand of narrow red ribbon. I used a steel crochet hook small enough to fit through the wire loops, chained five chain stitches, and added the first bead by crocheting right through the loop. I attached the remaining beads the same way, making five chain stitches between them. Before I finished the chain I made sure the bracelet fit around my wrist (it's a Valentine present for myself). No fancy jewelry techniques for attaching the clasp and ring; I just tied them to the ends of the chain and wove the extra ribbon into the stitching.

EDGEWATER, Fla., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ — GPS AnyPlace, the wholly owned subsidiary of SecuraCom GPS, LLC, an Internet based GPS vehicle location and fleet management systems company, announced today, that the system successfully located a woman who on occasion suffers from memory lapse. While the person still had the capability to safely drive a car, she has on occasion become disoriented and unable to find her way back home.
GPS AnyPlace President/CEO, Gary Ryan, received a call Sunday evening from Madeleine D., the daughter of the driver who called to report "we have just found my Mother 29 miles away from her home". Madeleine had suspected her Mother was missing and called her Brother to have him check to see if she was home. She was not and should have been.
Madeleine then instructed her Brother to log into the GPS AnyPlace servers in Atlanta, Georgia via the internet and instructed him to simply enter the user name and password and hit the "track now" button. Within 5 seconds, the vehicle was located in a shopping mall. The use of Microsoft Mappoint and Google satellite maps pin pointed the position of the Mother's car, right down to the exact parking spot, where Police contacted the driver and escorted her to the Police department.
Madeleine states, "if I had not purchased this system from your company back in 2005, we would have never found her. I really believe your system saved my Mother's life!" Affordable, accurate and consistent operation are what makes the BigBrother GSM tracking device a leader in the industry with thousands of units deployed world-wide. While the company mainly focuses on fleet users, often clients with similar situations to those of Madeleine, buy the system for peace of mind. Monitoring teen driving habits is also becoming a popular application of the product.
The BIG BROTHER GPS is a completely self contained live (real time) tracking device that enables fleet managers, concerned parents and others to simply view the real time and historical location, speed and heading of the vehicle being driven via the Internet at http://www.gpsfast.com. Installed in a covert manner and completely concealed within the vehicle, the unit features geographic out of area alerts, speed alerts, optional crash sensor and panic button alert notification features which immediately alert the family in the event of an emergency and more. BIG BROTHER GPS utilizes state of the art communication technology coupled with the latest Internet Linux based Server mapping platform enabling coverage virtually anywhere in the world where GSM wireless networks operate.
SecuraCom GPS, LLC dba GPS AnyPlace operates an East coast operation based in Edgewater, Florida and services small to large commercial fleet and contracting businesses world-wide with its network partner KORE Telematics and UHS Systems of Australia.

A couple of weeks ago I took a walk through a past life. A quarter of a century ago I was still a teenager, albeit approaching the end of those years. I worked for a posh convenience store called Cullens in Gloucester Road, Kensington. And for a while I had a very posh address on Oakley Street. The actual accommodation that I called home was anything but posh. A bedsit with a communal toilet and shower room a couple of flights of stairs up, the rent for which amounted to half my weekly wages. The peeled paint on the walls was old enough to qualify as an exhibit on the Antiques Roadshow. The less said about the loo and shower the better.
But it was all about the location. At one end of the street is Kings Road, which was one of the hippest parts of London. At the other end you'll find the Albert Bridge, which looks resplendant in the evening with its pink paint job, illuminated by enough bulbs to light up a sizeable village. When I finished work on the late shift at about 10.30, I'd sometimes go with a couple of friends for a beer in the Stanhope Tavern. In those days, pubs threw the punters out at about half past eleven, so we needed to find other ways to amuse ourselves. Now and again, during the warmer summer months, we'd walk down to the Albert Bridge with a few tins of lager and discuss the rights and wrongs of the world. I doubt the beers added much to the intellectual content of our conversations, but that's by the by.
There is a tree to one side of the Albert Bridge, next to a bench, on the north bank of the river. It is a great tree to climb with reasonably comfortable perches for three people. We'd sit up in the tree chatting for an hour or two. In hushed voices. We didn't want to alert our prey to our presence. The river path would be deserted at that time of night. Even the road traffic was pretty minimal. Every now and then a jogger would pass and we'd scare him out of his skin for our amusement. Outrageous sneezes were our weapon of choice. Cruel I know, but the sort of person that goes out for a midnight jog is a glutton for punishment anyway.
The biggest drawback of my living arrangements came when nature called in the middle of the night. It's a long old walk up two creaky flights of stairs in the pitch black at three in the morning. I won't lie. There was more than one occasion when I opened the sash window of my room and watered the plants in the garden three stories below. If it had been a particularly heavy night, I could water some of next doors fuchsias too. I was just doing my bit for the environment.
Perhaps you're appalled at my loutish behaviour, so let's move along. Next stop on the walk is the junction of Oakley Street and Kings Road. There's a fire station right opposite. To the best of my memory, it's the only fire station I have ever been inside. My visit came in the middle of the night. I casually strolled in the front door wearing a t-shirt, my boxer shorts and a pair of trainers. Not my most dignified ever entrance, I'll admit. I explained my predicament, which probably needed little explaining.
On one of the rare occasions I had opted to do the decent thing and clamber up the stairs to use the loo rather than the window, I had forgotten to take the keys to my room. The door closed and locked shut behind me. Awkward. There's an exception to every rule, and I had just discovered the one for the old saying, 'don't piss on your own doorstep'. I clearly should have.
The only solution seemed to be to seek the help of a fireman at the local station, who would surely be fully equipped with the necessary tools for a problem such as this. I was right. Three of them came up with a bag of spanners, screwdrivers, hammers, other tough looking implements and a huge library of jokes, all of which were squarely aimed at me. They inspected the lock and frame and then selected the right tool for the job. Which turned out to be a hefty boot to kick the door in. Not entirely what I was expecting.
But it got me back in. And besides I was a low income tenant in a flat barely above slum status. The landlord should expect such incidents. Not that I hung around to see the landlord when I vacated. I disappeared quick sharpish a few weeks rent in arrears, leaving behind an unsecured door, a three foot pile of Autocar and Motor magazines, some unwashed dishes and the most thoroughly watered flower beds in the whole of Chelsea.

Karnataka, India: Buffalo Racing In Muddy Waters
Visions of chaos put to rest
By Suruchi Dumpawar
The rhythmic beat of drums and trumpets reverberates in the air. The area from where the sound emanates is jam-packed and I can barely see the goings on from my position. Camera in hand, I make way through the all-men crowd dexterously, swinging my head to the intoxicating music.
I find myself inside a unique arena (I had been expecting a marshy field all along); two tracks dug up and filled with slush run parallel to each other for about 450 ft. with the spectators' stands adjacent to the two tracks with a well defined boundary to keep the spectators in check.
The chaotic scenes that I had been imagining in my mind all the while are put to rest; Koti Chennaya Kambala, organized at Puttur, a small village in Karnataka, India, is a highly professional affair.
What is the fuss all about?
And this entire hullabaloo is for the buffaloes; paired with the help of a yoke they are lined up with their owners ready to enter the arena. Fresh after a pooja and a wash at the temple nearby, their black skin gleams in the blazing sun, they are decorated with fancy ropes, mirrors and some of them even sport amulets.
The men are well sculpted; having a six-pack is no big deal here. Most of them are bare-chested wearing just a modest lungi. (A kind of wrap common in South India.)
A man wearing a red turban and a matching lungi checks the buffaloes' teeth with the air of a specialist. Checking for bad breadth? No. I later come to know that buffaloes are partitioned into different groups (small, medium and big I guess) according to the number of their fallen teeth. Ingenious, I must say!
An organizer is very happy to see my friends and me, mistaking us for reporters as all of us are sporting cameras. When we inform him that we are just hobbyists he sportingly gives us the scarves which the volunteers are wearing.
"Go close and shoot" he tells us in Kanadda and that's exactly what we do, we have an up, close and personal encounter with the buffaloes of Puttur.
…and the action begins!
We position ourselves at the starting line. An enclosure is made for the buffaloes waiting in line for their turn; it is difficult to control some of them who are raring to be free and have a go at the slushy track. The main race will only start in the afternoon now is the time for the first timers to show their skills.
The first buffalo pair looks every bit menacing their muscles taut, quivering with excitement and their noses flaring. Agitated by the incessant whipping and war cries of the lone rider (who is called Saarthi) behind them, they rush past us at maddening speed leaving a trail of water flying behind.
Splash, Splash, Splash!
All this happens so fast that I fail to retract my camera in time and so it gets a generous helping of the mucky water. A fitting start to a day that is going to be action packed.
No serious damage done though, thankfully. After a few runs I am taking pictures with the ease of a photographer seasoned for kambala.
Some of the buffaloes cover the length of the track in a mere 10-15 seconds. I realize that running in water keeping pace with galloping buffaloes is no mean feat. Many a men fall in the slush, face down, unable to keep up with their more sturdy counterparts.
But some men make it look really easy and I secretly wish to run in the slush; the muddy water does look tempting in this scorching sun. Maybe I'll do this in Kadri Kambala sometime where there are races for women and children too sans the buffaloes.
All thanks to an underworld don
The area around the arena dons a festive look; bhel and pani puri the ubiquitous Indian street food are present here too, "Pepsi Coca cola" a stereo announces running in a loop continuously, the pao-pao of the candy-floss man's cart adds to the din. We settle for a glass of sugarcane juice that as always is surprisingly refreshing.
Muthappa Rai looks down on us from huge posters, sporting a French beard and talking on a mobile phone. I find him good-looking quite contrary to the appearance I had expected when I had heard that he was a underworld don turned social worker.
He hails from Puttur and is the organizer of the Koti Chennaya Kambala this year, which I later come to know, is the largest Kambala in Karnataka drawing a crowd of around a lakh people.
We now stand close to the finishing line that slants upwards; a simple braking mechanism to stop the buffaloes running at break neck speed.
But still some of them crash straight into the crowd standing at the finishing line; some men rush with whips to control them and no harm is done.
As photography in the scorching sun is a tiring job, hunger pangs start making themselves felt in no time. There is some time for the main event to start, so we head towards a friend's cousin's place for lunch.
I simply love the way these traditional homes are built, they are so inviting and cozy, and make you feel right at home. All characteristics of an ideal home I feel. The lunch is traditional Tulu(pertaining to Southwestern Karnataka) fair and is yummylicious. Revitalized, after the lunch and a little rest we revisit the arena.
Scampering for life amidst crashing buffaloes
The bands are playing elaborately; the main event has started. The buffaloes are burlier now; they run even faster and splash more water in the process. I want to get some head-on shots of the buffaloes so we join the freelance photographer with his bazooka like lens, who is already standing at the finishing line.
This is as adventurous as it gets! I point my camera on the buffaloes till I feel they are at a safe distance and then scamper inside the crowd for protection.
The men look at me amused and sometimes I have the eerie feeling that the buffaloes too are eyeing me curiously, but then it is just a feeling. None of the buffaloes crash on us but we do have some close shaves.
Contest of a different kind
As the evening matures it becomes even more cool and pleasant; the floodlights cast obscure reflections on the track. The dignitaries have started to arrive and the speeches on the stage run parallel to the commentary in the arena. Now comes the part for which I had been waiting for all through.
Kambala is not just about completing the stretch of the track in the least time; that is one aspect of the race. There is another unusual aspect too.
In the middle of the track some markers are placed at the height of 6.5 and 7.5 feet respectively. The idea is that the splashing water should rise to this height. And for this the Saarthi has to stand on a plank attached to the buffaloes.
As the first pair with the Saarthi on the plank arrives it is a most bizarre sight. The blurred outline of a man is visible through the diaphanous film of water rising all around the buffaloes.
The man himself seems to be hanging on to nothing but air and when they approach the middle of the track, where the markers are placed, the water astonishingly rises to great heights and manages to touch the 6.5 ft mark. I feel that the man has fallen into water by now but as the pair approaches the finishing line I am shocked to see that he is still there hanging on to the buffaloes.
Leaving in the middle of action
Many buffaloes thus pass by, but none touch the 7.5 ft mark. But there is enough time; the competition will go on through the night ending only on Monday evening.
And that reminds me that I have to be in office tomorrow. The night seems promising, Yakshagana, an opera like art form of Karnataka, is also supposed to happen and I've been wanting to watch one for quite sometime.
Loath that I am to leave I wonder at the juxtaposition of the two different lives I seem to live on the weekdays and weekends.
I've been really lucky to have watched Kambala; the one in Puttur is amongst the last to happen during the Kambala season, which starts from December and goes on till March.
Information about the Kambala schedule is hard to get by on the Internet, but I promise myself to come back for the Kambala next year, if not Puttur some other location. After Jallikattu, a bull taming sport that happens in Tamil Nadu, India, and the action packed-Kambala I want my tryst with rural sports to continue.
Tour Info
Puttur, a village near Mangalore, Karnataka, India
When does Kambala happen?
Kambala is a traditional buffalo racing sport in muddy waters, which happens, in the Udupi and Mangalore districts of Karnataka and also in the Kasargod district of Kerala from the month of December to March. As many as 30 events happen in small villages over this period. The information about Kambala schedule is hard to get on the Internet but I found this site useful.
Do you need to book tickets?
No. Kambala is open for all without any charges, the organizers I am sure would be more than glad to have you there.
Where to stay?
If you are planning to attend Kambala, best would be to stay in Mangalore, which is a major city in Southwestern Karnata, and visit the location of Kambala from there. Find unique lodging in Karnataka and interesting Karnataka tours online.

I was very intrigued by a few news reports that crossed my "e-mail desk" this week. I guess that's how you have to view e-mail these days – few write you a real letter anymore, and everyone who does send e-mail wants a response immediately. Well, in my case, they have to wait because this granny is going to take her time. But I wanted to share these interesting developments in the field of stem cell research.
You may remember that in February, a group of scientists at the University of California at Los Angeles did a surprising thing:
Led by scientists Kathrin Plath and William Lowry, UCLA researchers used genetic alteration to turn back the clock on human skin cells and create cells that are nearly identical to human embryonic stem cells, which have the ability to become every cell type found in the human body. Four regulator genes were used to create the cells, called induced pluripotent stem cells or iPS cells… The UCLA study confirms the work first reported in late November of researcher Shinya Yamanaka at Kyoto University and James Thompson [sic] at the University of Wisconsin.
In June of 2007, Professor Dianne Irving raised a red flag regarding the Yamanaka and Thomson studies, and her concerns were based on the absence of all the facts needed to make a proper judgment with regard to ethics:
Considering the enormous stakes involved, it would seem that it is incumbent upon scientists involved in especially ethically sensitive research to be as open and detailed in their publications as possible. The trend, however, seems to be to camouflage and dilute the scientific details as much as possible — not only in order to evade professionally appropriate questions from their scientific peers, but also to evade the very questions that society and ethics have traditionally required of all scientists. Rather than use and report the accurate scientific facts, it would seem that scientists prefer to secure their successes by using false and misleading manufactured "scientific" terms, verbal hype, and empty promises. Even the most basic requirements of research ethics appear to have been abandoned, including the required use of the most accurate and reliable scientific facts, as well as the "denial" of the age-old dictum that it is simply wrong to purposefully kill innocent human beings – regardless of their stage of development, ethnicity, culture, degree of illness, etc., and regardless of whether or not their destruction could be of benefit to other human beings. Needless to say, even the most desperate of sick patients should not be exposed to "therapeutic" research or clinical trials when such participation unwittingly puts them into serious danger of harm and even death. One even wonders how such patients could give legally valid "informed consent".
We would all obviously welcome a viable scientific and ethical resolution to the divisive politics of human embryo and fetal research that has consumed us for so many years. These iPS studies, however, do not appear to be that solution.
Dr. Irving's concerns about the Yamanaka and Thomson studies were later validated when, early this year, Dr. Theresa Deisher, an internationally renowned expert in the field of adult stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine, wrote, "A close inspection of the two published papers revealed that cells from an electively aborted fetus were used in the work, and therefore it cannot be considered moral."
Indeed, this statement by William Lowry, one of the UCLA study's lead scientists, clearly illustrates the need for caution about the ethics involved in this research as well: "It is important to remember that our research does not eliminate the need for embryo-based human embryonic stem cell research, but rather provides another avenue of worthwhile investigation."
The next bit of interesting news I discovered is that the Harvard Stem Cell Institute's George Daley, who once warned that reprogramming stem cells was "extremely high-risk," is now saying that he and his fellow researchers have used reprogrammed adult stem cells to produce cell lines for 10 diseases, including muscular dystrophy, juvenile diabetes and Parkinson's disease. However, because this research likewise involves the reprogramming of adult stem cells, its methodology requires further scrutiny to ensure that it did not entail the use aborted fetal or embryonic material.
Thus, because of what was discovered about the original adult stem cell reprogramming research, I always approach new supposedly non-embryonic stem cell developments with hesitancy these days, but it does at least appear that in the next case, there are promising new findings that did not involve the use of aborted fetal or embryonic material.
This study touts the use of stem cells obtained from a baby's amniotic fluid and placenta to literally create liver, pancreatic, nerve and kidney tissue. The stem cells used are readily available at birth. The lead researcher in this study, Dr. Anthony Atala, once told an interviewer regarding amniotic fluid stem cells, "Actually, the fluid is chockfull of cells, because the embryo is constantly shedding cells. But we were looking for a stem cell population, a cell that we could derive to become other things that would be nimble. And that particular cell makes up about 1 percent of the cells in the fluid and the placenta."
Because the stem cells found in the placenta and the amniotic fluid are so "nimble," Dr. Atala explained, the cells can easily be driven to become different tissues. He may have come upon a genuinely ethical solution to the ethical quagmire created by scientists who are less than fully forthcoming about their studies or are discovered to be using immoral means. Only time will tell.
But the encouraging news is that some scientists are aware of the despicable nature of research that kills one set of human beings to possibly benefit another, and they are at least searching for ethical ways to reach the same end. Let us pray that their work continues to progress, that one day soon scientists are focused on the full truth of their work and that we stop talking about ways to bend the truth.

Ellicottville, N.Y. - With almost three feet of natural snowfall over the last two weeks and more on the way, Holiday Valley's President Dennis Eshbaugh announced today that the resort will extend its season for an extra week. According to Mr. Eshbaugh, "Not only do we have a deep base with wall to wall coverage but the snow surface itself is ideal mid-winter packed powder conditions. We are happy to add a week to this already great season." The resort is currently reporting an average base depth of 17 to 56 inches with 6 quad chairlifts and 40 slopes open. Three more lifts will open for this weekend and the resort will extend hours to 9PM both Friday and Saturday evenings. At this time Holiday Valley plans on operating 5 lifts and over 30 slopes from April 1 through April 7. April 7 was the original target closing date for the resort, but revised plans are to operate one lift and 12 slopes from April 8 through April 12, then add lifts and slopes for the final weekend of April 13 and 14. "All of our plans are dependent on weather," says Eshbaugh, "but the forecast is calling for scattered snow the rest of this week, sunshine over the weekend, then one more cold air mass early next week with temperatures 2 to 4 degrees below normal." This announcement is just in time for Spring Break for many schools and colleges. The good conditions this late in the spring has had a positive impact on the community as well, with additional business for the shops and restaurants of Ellicottville in a normally quiet time of year.

In the United States, prepaid money is the most rapidly growing payment instrument. It is a lifesaver to the unbanked and the underbanked. It is the payment vehicle used in an increasing number of creative arrangements. But it is also the platform of choice for many fraudsters, and it amounts to a house of cards for many incompetent entrepreneurs.
Prepaid money also describes non-speculative digital-money products, which is where the payment roadmap leads, and where the full power and possibilities of prepaid products will emerge. And for all that, it became a prime regulatory target during the Obama administration, with some uncertainties going forward owing to the anti-regulatory sentiments in Washington today.
The general-purpose reloadable card (GPR) is essentially a modern form of cash, some say Internet cash. It's a way to pay online without exposing personal information, and with risk limited to the amount loaded. And as with tethered digital cash, prepaid money may be tethered to any set of terms and conditions. Albeit, those terms are spelled out in a lengthy contract nobody reads when signing on, while tethered digital money carries its terms on its back.
Furthermore, prepaid instruments that are reversible may be reconverted to cash. It is like digital money convertible to U.S. dollars, and it may be regarded as currency. That is why prepaid instruments attract both innovators and fraudsters. For example, there are cards that are periodically recharged by a remitting agency. If those cards are stolen, so is the monthly recharge. Illicit drug deals are paid for with a bunch of prepaid cards. While the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is rightly worried about the risk to the consumer, fishy entrepreneurs leverage this innocent-sounding instrument for large-scale financial gain.
Historically, prepaid activity emerged as a response to the regulatory burden on debit cards, which at first glance look quite similar. But they're not at all alike. Cash-redeemable prepaid instruments are nothing short of a new form of currency, which is open to all the creativity as well as criminal activity associated with currency.
Come to think about it, the dollar bill was established as a prepaid instrument. You had to pay a nugget of gold to be issued this bill. And the bill served as a claim on that nugget. These paper claim checks evolved to become the real money, up to the point that in 1971 President Richard Nixon disengaged them from the claimed gold. And, lo and behold, they fly on their own. Why? Because they have the inertia of trust which they gained at the time they were gold-redeemable.
It is hard to see prepaid instruments evolving into a currency on their own. But that is because of our lack of imagination, primarily, and because of the conceptual difficulty posed by digitized dollars. Prepaid instruments allow their issuers and their users to store and transmit money without using the standard financial framework. This is promising for creative ideas. It allows us to fit payment to new technologies like robotics and the Internet of Things. But, at the same time, it is a bonanza for the criminal element.
So while the government is busy assuring consumers that they will not be cheated out of their prepaid money, the real action is with the growing economic activity that happens with prepaid devices.
We need to recognize that prepaid is rising to become modern cash, or, say, Internet-cash, and treat it as a new form of currency. Prepaid instruments will be doled out in the form of digital money, which will be stored in and paid from mobile devices to start with, then stored and paid from appliances and other devices that could buy and sell on our behalf through the growing power of artificial intelligence. Digital money is the medium to handle untethered currency as well as tethered money, or money limited to a particular use over a window of time by a designated payor to a specified payee.
Prepaid digital money carries its value and its identity through its bit embodiment, so those attributes flow with it everywhere it goes. Today's financial fraud amounts to breaking into accounts where the money resides, while the money itself is "naked." It has no identity, only a sum. Prepaid digital money is identified, tethered, tracked, and abuse-resistant.
Regulators and innovators alike should pay serious attention to this unassuming payment modality called prepaid.

I almost can't believe 2016 is over!
So. Many. Things. Happened.
It's actually a little hard to process and I still don't know how to feel about some things.
Fortunately, there are some things I do know.
I know what I want and what I love.
I know what I need and what I hope for.
It's the little things - always has to be the little things.
So far 2017 is feeling good and I'm going with it.
Some new things planned - blog, reading, Instagram wise and I'm looking forward to putting in the work to get things where I wan them.
I'm forever grateful for my little chunk of the interwebs!

I caught the new colors for today's Color Throwdown #386 on Facebook yesterday, and just had to make a card last night! Lisa has picked some great colors to work with today! Here's my card...
I used the BG Small Brick background stamp from My Favorite Things, stamping on a piece of watercolor card stock with Versmark ink, then embossed with white detail embossing powder. Over that I did a wash of watercolor using Limelight dye ink. Then I used the new Twice the Thanks Die-Namics (quickly becoming my new favorite die!) and die cut twice using Tropical Teal card stock. I layered those two die-cuts for a little extra dimension. I added a vellum circle on the left side that was cut with the Zig Zag Stitched Circle STAX Die-Namics, and layered over that a leafy branch from Blueprints 14 cut from Limelight card stock. And then I pulled out my always-a-favorite LJD Blissful Butterflies stamp set and matching dies, and die-cut a butterfly from Sno Cone card stock, then used my MISTI to stamp the butterfly in Sno Cone hybrid ink. A few clear sequins, and I called this one done!
EDITED: Eeek! Forgot to mention my layout was inspired by this week's CAS(E) this Sketch #165!
Many, MANY thanks to everyone who bought stamps and dies from me recently! Now if I could just find the time to get some more things listed... stay tuned! (And there are still some great items to be had... check out my sale page!)

Obama tries to reinvigorate Wall Street reform3 min read . Updated: 14 Sep 2009, 11:36 AM IST
Obama tries to reinvigorate Wall Street reform
Obama tries to reinvigorate Wall Street reform
Washington: US President Barack Obama will try on Monday to revive a stalled push for stricter oversight of Wall Street, using the anniversary of Lehman Brothers' collapse to argue for sweeping regulatory changes.
Obama's wide-ranging economic address in New York will also discuss plans to unwind the government's involvement in the financial sector and call upon Wall Street firms to take responsibility and avoid reckless behavior. He is to speak at 12:10 EDT (1610 GMT).
Gaps in the regulation of US banks and capital markets have been blamed for the subprime mortgage crisis and global financial chaos triggered after Lehman filed for bankruptcy on 15 September 2008.
Obama and other backers of a financial overhaul say new rules are crucial to heading off another catastrophe.
But as Obama prepares to deliver the speech at the historic Federal Hall in the heart of Wall Street, the regulatory reform effort has hit resistance in Congress, casting doubt on Obama's goal of enacting the legislation by year end.
In addition to jumpstarting the regulatory reform legislation, Obama will seek to take credit for the relative calm that has settled over the markets in the aftermath of the worst financial crisis since the 1930s great depression.
Obama's battle to pass major health care legislation has taken a toll on his popularity but he hopes to get a boost from signs the economy is starting to improve.
Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner last week told a congressional panel that the economy, while still ailing, was in far better shape than a year ago and the government could begin unwinding some of the massive support given to markets.
Adding to pressure on Obama to try to get the regulatory overhaul back on track is the approach of the Group of 20 summit on 24-25 September in Pittsburgh.
Obama will play host to leaders of major developed countries including Britain, Germany and Japan and fast-growing economies such as China for talks on strengthening the global financial structure.
Some of Obama's global counterparts want Washington to move more swiftly to reform the still vulnerable financial system. The all-consuming focus on health care legislation, Obama's highest priority, has overshadowed a package of financial regulatory measures the president unveiled in June.
Fed may get greater powers
Obama would give the Federal Reserve new powers to monitor big financial firms that could pose a "systemic risk" to the economy. He would also set up a process for the federal government to seize and liquidate troubled financial firms and create a new consumer watchdog agency for products like mortgages, car loans and credit cards.
Advocates for financial change would like to see the president take a more hands-on role in the legislation.
"It's up to the administration and the congressional leadership to breathe some life into what's left of the reform concept," former Fed vice chairman Alan Blinder wrote in a column in the New York Times. Blinder said the reform effort's pulse now seemed "faint."
Senior White House adviser Lawrence Summers told reporters Obama was committed to doing what it takes to help the legislation advance. But it will likely take more than a high-profile speech to get Washington to agree on a plan.
Blinder and other supporters of tighter rules worry lawmakers may find it more politically expedient to pass a "reform lite" package of measures that would fail to safeguard against another crisis.
While lawmakers tussle over the shape of reforms, there are also differences within the administration. The turf battles prompted Geithner in a meeting last month to scold regulators and urge them to get behind Obama's plan.
Lehman was once the fourth-largest US investment bank and its bankruptcy filing was the largest in US history.
The firm's demise and the near-collapse of insurance giant American International Group Inc sent shockwaves throughout the global financial system.
Obama has long favored tighter oversight of US financial markets and made regulatory reform one of the platforms of his presidential candidacy.
White House aides are mindful of the risk that the zeal to revamp regulations may wane as the economy improves and memories recede of last fall's financial turmoil.
"I think it is just crucial not to lose this window," White House economist Christina Romer said.

By Shakura
Old moments have gone. Time and tide wait for none. So, we should be more conscious about this. To waste time is a great foolish. I have many dreams; which are my New Year resolution.
Firstly; I want to go to abroad and my first choice is Australia. My future plan is to be established and get settled to a developed country.
Secondly; I wish if I became a social worker or a rich person; I would help the poor people of my country.
Thirdly; Bangladesh is a small country; but a large number of people are suffering from poverty. Bangladesh has had some notable successes in reducing its poverty from maintaining a steady growth rate of 5.0 percent. In the last two years, this growth rate, according to official figures, even surpassed 6.0 percent. The optimists give suggestions our government to increase the growth rate. I am very hopeful also.
Fourthly; the job vacancy is a one of the greatest problem in our country. A lot of people have not enough property or land. So, they have to struggle for this reason. Vacancy is centralized in the town. The livelihood in a city is very expensive; which the poor people cannot able to pay. And the other side, the well-learned people are increasing day by day. But the job vacancies are not increasing much. To get an honorable job is very difficult. So, I want to go abroad. In a developed country, there are enough job vacancies, much money and other facilities. I think- life is easier than our country. For this reason, I want to go to Australia and after two years I will transfer a lot of money to develop my country. It will try to pay my money to poor people for being self-reliant. I will try my best to be self-reliant. I will try my best for this purpose in my whole life. These are my New Year resolution.
Purpose of Narijibon Blog
Nari Jibon Project seeks to increase our students' and staffs' abilities through different ways: classes, practice, computers, internet, and now the Narijibon Blog. Readers and writers (our students & staff) of the Blog will both learn about our lives, culture, Nature, activities of people in Bangladesh and the Nari Jibon Project.

Make a Card Monday
I have made a card using the bunny from Thursdays post. This time I made him look fluffy with sparkle fluff. The grass was cut out on the cricut then some bling added. The sentiment printed out on the computer, inked and then added to a tooth pick. I made an extra bunny to add to the inside of the card as a pop-up and then a sentiment stamped inside.

Hi I have a few questions:
Was considering the SP-300i but I think it's discontinued. My next option is the SG-300 but this uses TrueVis ink and non-Epson print heads which has me a bit concerned. Have you noticed any dramatic difference between the new and old inks/heads?
How many heaters does the SG-300 and/or the VS-300i use?
Also, can the printing be slowed down/controlled? My goal is to print on uncoated smooth paper (flyers, posters) without bleeding.
20-30" Eco-Solvent Printer
Ask any questions you have before you make a decision

Re: 20-30" Eco-Solvent Printer
SG-300 print quality is superior to SP-300i, don't worry about it. It's also faster. There are the standard print heater and dryer, you can add extra dryers if needed but I doubt it.
You can control head carriage speed if needed. Just enter the required speed in the RIP and you're good to go.

Re: 20-30" Eco-Solvent Printer
That's good to know. Is it possible to use a ColorMunki profile tool (custom icc) or does the RIP demand control?
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your help.
Re: 20-30" Eco-Solvent Printer
VersaWorks includes most of the profile creation tools except ICC calculation. You'll need your device application (a la ProfileMaker) for that.

Article 49. Use of species-group names wrongly applied through misidentification. A previously established specific or subspecific name wrongly applied to denote a species-group taxon because of misidentification cannot be used as an available name for that taxon (even if the taxon and the taxon to which the specific or subspecific name correctly applies are in, or are later assigned to, different genera), except when a previous misidentification is deliberately employed in fixing the type species of a new nominal genus or subgenus [Arts. 11.10, 67.13].
Example. C.L. Koch (1847) recorded under the name Polydesmus scaber Perty a myriapod species different from that actually so named by Perty in 1833. Except as provided in Article 11.10, the species-group name scaber cannot be employed to denote Koch's previously undescribed species (even though he placed it in his new genus Platyrhacus without fixing it as the type species). For an example of a previous misidentification deliberately employed when fixing a type species of a new nominal genus, see Example to Article 11.10.

A price.
That magic number that will get us to agree to do anything, be anything.
Don't sit on your gold-plated high horse and say you don't because you do. Everyone does. Each of us has something we covet enough that we'd sell ourselves to have it.

I'll fight falling into bed with him. I'll fight falling in love with him even harder. I'll fail at both. And when my past and present collide in the most unexpected of ways, I'll learn that while one man's love for me has never died, the only man's love I really want will never be mine.
