World's Biggest 3D Activedesk Installation
With 150 z-Space-enabled ActiveDesks in Aston University's new 3D Labs, Virtalis has installed the largest number of zSpaces anywhere in the world. The ActiveDesk brings VR to desk-based working.
Prof James Wolffsohn, deputy dean of the School of Life & Health Sciences at Aston University, explained: "With research showing that women struggle more with perceiving in 3D environments, we decided to put in a bid to the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) in support of bringing more women into STEM subjects. We were successful and our zSpace-based ActiveDesks are allowing us to teach large numbers of people via individualised experiential learning."
zSpace enables natural interaction with virtual-holographic 3D imagery. It allows 3D objects to float in front of your eyes while you control the distance, zoom and rotation. The result is a wholly immersive and interactive virtual environment in which to better explore and understand information and data. Two years ago, Virtalis developed drivers that brought models created using its Visionary Render software into zSpace.
Prof Wolffsohn said: "Our ActiveDesks feature a range of software, from Cyber-Anatomy to Visionary Render, which means they can be used by multiple disciplinary groups of students, including psychology, biology, pharmacy, optometry, audiology and engineering specialities, such as mechanical, product design and biomedical. Immersive environments stimulate intra and inter-disciplinary communications, facilitating a level of understanding often thought to be unattainable using conventional methods. Our students now have the luxury of exploration and repetition until they are feeling confident about a topic. We have therefore scheduled the Labs' timetable as a mixture of free learning and seminars."
The new VR Labs chime perfectly with the current trend towards a more tailored approach to individual learning. The ActiveDesks will engender more innovative teaching, but crucially, students will also be able to learn at their own pace. "zSpaces are most definitely a step up from simulated 3D engineering animations on a screen", said Prof Wolffsohn. "True 3D allows engineers to experience a real world environment, with the ability to look around objects, as well as to piece components together, seeing how things fit prior to prototyping."
Using a special zSpace camera to capture the 3D image on a student's zSpace. This image can then be transmitted to the entire VR Lab in projected pseudo-3D to form the ultimate in interactive lectures. In use since the beginning of term, so far, students report being amazed by the interactivity and technological advance the new devices represent.
"We chose Virtalis' tender primarily because of the future collaboration offered", commented Prof Wolffsohn. "An ongoing relationship with our technology supplier was important to us as we aim to lead the field in technology-enabled higher education learning environments of the future."

text: "I like making movies. Typically I am pretty reserved, and that is not something people who are reserved do very often. You are putting yourself out there, and that can be pretty nerve wracking. There is kind of inevitable judgement, and sometimes it's hard to think about. I have various anxiety disorders and I have obsessive compulsive disorder and sometimes it affects my general ability to go to school. You sort of learn to get used to it. Don't let it get to you, just keep pushing onward."

With This Disease Fighting Coconut Rice Pudding Put All Other Desserts To Shame
Traditional rice pudding is high in both processed foods and fat. However, using coconut milk in the place of regular milk, replacing white rice with brown and removing the egg, creates a healthier alternative. This recipe is healthier, animal-friendly, and really delicious.
Coconut milk
Besides being a good choice for vegans, the replacement of regular milk with coconut milk is much healthier too. Coconut milk is rich in copper, whose elevated levels in the body have been found to boost immunity.It is an excellent source of niacin, a nutrient which is of utmost importance when it comes to the reproductive and mental health. It also increases stress-relieving hormones and sex hormones.
Brown rice
According to a study from the University of Harvard, consuming brown rice in the place of white rice can reduce diabetes risk. Apart from this, there are many other health benefits associated with the consumption of brown rice.
Serves: 8
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 3 hours 35 minutes (slow cooker)
- 1 cup U.S.-grown short grain brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 can light coconut milk
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
How to make:
Put the water, brown rice, coconut milk, vanilla, and maple syrup into a slow cooker and cook on low heat for about 3 hours. Then, add the raisins and cinnamon.

Persistent Puppy – VIDEO
Oh my goodness… Bandit is one determined pup… he wants to play with the "big dogs"… first looks like he found a new game, riding the treadmill off the back… then he's determined to try to imitate the big guy and walk it… Had me smiling til my cheeks hurt and giggling til I had tears in my eyes… so precious!
From peace love and pitbulls, great organization! They say that the PLP pack is in quarantine until Bandit, their newest rescue pup, has had his shots so it's home gym for exercise… and Bandit just being Bandit, a heartbreakingly adorable pup!
Shared this on FTLTD's Facebook page and it was such a hit and have seen it all over since then… enjoy!
FYI – the adult dog's lead is attached to the emergency stop on the treadmill, not the treadmill itself.

I got this recipe quite a while ago when I was in The Smokey Mountains. The Great Smokey Mountains are about an hour away from where I grew up so my family and I would visit quite often, it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been on earth. Us Tennesseans have always protected the nature around us for as long as we've been there, it means a lot to us. In fact at the time when the railroads were first being built they wanted to run it through The Smokey Mountains and offered a high amount of money to do so, but we refused. It's still a treasure that we hold dear and everyone takes such care.
I was able to take T when he was only 1, but unfortunately he doesn't remember too much. We always drive up through Cades Cove and since people are so good to the animals they just love you, deer and horses will just freely walk up to you for a rub, it's pretty magical. And the beauty of seeing the nature and black bears run freely will take your breathe away. I wish that each one of you get a chance to see our state sometime in your life, and if not National Geographic now has a show filming the park, you should check it out.
Back in the old days women always used dried fruit to make these little pies, you can definitely see why when you make them. The more wet the fruit is, the harder the dough is to work with, it will make your dough gooey and hard to seal, so get out as much of the wetness as you can. Like I said, this is why dried fruit was used, and also think preserves are typically used to. We fill these pies with everything, and apples are usually everyone's first choice, but I've been craving peach pie and went with it. We eat these for breakfast and dessert, pretty much anytime of the day for anything.
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup cold butter
1 egg white (reserve yolk)
1/2 cup buttermilk (I used laban)
1 cup diced peaches (strained)
Powdered sugar, for topping
1 beaten egg yolk
Sunflower oil for frying
1. In a mixing bowl, add flour, salt and sugar, add butter in small chunks and mix in a food processor until butter is combined and the mixture is coarse. Add egg white and buttermilk, mix until a smooth consistency has formed. Add more flour if needed. Boil up the dough and place in the a plastic bag and sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
2. In a stock pan pan on medium heat, add oil, about 2-3 inches. Allow the oil heat to reach 350F.
3. Meanwhile, on a lightly floured nonstick baking mat roll the dough thin. Cut out large circles (5-6 inch) and place a spoonful of fruit in the center. Brush a small amount of the yolk on the edge of half the circle (if you brush all the edge or brush too much, it will be too wet to seal) and then carefully fold and seal pie with a fork.
4. Carefully place the pies into the hot oil and allow to cook until golden. Place on a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar before servings.
Yields: 1 dozen

Being passionate about social causes and environmental sustainability, I love working with changemakers, activists and non-profits.
The process of outer transformation through inner change has long fascinated me, and the coaching process I use helps changemakers to gain clarity in their purpose and values, ground their vision in their daily actions, and create space to not just campaign for change, but embody it.
Together we look at several areas including:
- Visioning – developing, clarifying and enhancing individuals and organisation's sense of purpose and intention
- Stress resilience & burnout prevention
- Countering compassion fatigue
- Values based living, and how this impacts the work of changemakers
- Shifting focus from problem-based mindsets to values-based solutions
- Aligning personal visions with organisational goals
- Work/life balance
- Mindfulness and meditation
- Self-care, while still enhancing our compassion and connection to others

"I believe piano lessons should be enjoyable! I focus on sight-reading, technique, ear training, composition and theory, teaching various styles to unlock a love for playing the piano. I encourage my students to perform and hold annual recitals and performances that they may participate in. My goal is for each student to walk away with a new passion for music!"
~ Lydia Bandy
From her Westminster studio, Lydia Bandy teaches beginner through advanced level piano lessons to students from age 6 through adult.
Lydia supports her students' performance through recitals and competitions, including opportunities to play live at Starry Night Bakery, the Clavinova Festival, and recitals at McDaniel College, among other locations. These performances give students the chance to showcase their improvement and learn to perform in non-threatening, enjoyable settings. Parents and students agree that Lydia has a talent for teaching, as noted in her client testimonials.
Background & Experience
With a lifelong love for music and the piano, Lydia progressed from a small child playing cartoon melodies through formal lessons and competitions into an accomplished pianist and composer. During high school, Lydia also became Assistant Piano Teacher to the late Judy Ferencz, the former President of the Maryland State Music Teachers Association. In 2004, she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from McDaniel College in 2004, after studying classical piano under Dr. David Kreider. Since graduation, Lydia has steadily built up a private piano clientele, which currently includes over 55 students. In 2011, Lydia was invited to join the Barnes-Ferencz Competition Committee; she encourages students to participate in this judged memorial competition. Read all about Lydia...

LISBON, March 31 (Reuters) - Portugal has agreed to sell a 75 percent stake in state-rescued lender Novo Banco to U.S. private equity firm Lone Star in exchange for a capital injection of 1 billion euros into the institution, the Bank of Portugal said on Friday.
"The sale is an important step for stability of the banking system," Bank of Portugal Gov. Carlos Costa told reporters. "The agreement allows to meet the deadline set jointly with the European Commission for the sale of Novo Banco."
Portugal's Bank Resolution Fund will retain the remaining 25 percent stake in Novo Banco, which is the bridge bank carved out of Banco Espirito Santo, which crumbled in 2014. The country injected 4.9 billion euros, mostly via the resolution fund, into the 'good bank'.
Under the terms of the deal, Lone Star will inject 750 million euros when the deal is formally closed and another 250 million within three years.
Also, Novo Banco will swap 500 million euros of senior bonds for new bonds as means to reinforce its common equity Tier 1 capital ratio before Lone Star takes over the bank.
The Bank of Portugal said a contingent capital mechanism will be set up to meet potential capital needs at the bank worth up to 3.89 billion euros, explaining that the mechanism did not represent any guarantee to cover any losses.

I really am flabbergasted by how amazing ya'll are. I'm overwhelmed—in a good way.
While this blog has always been a running diary of my daily adventures in eating and exercising, it is also about having a healthy perspective. That's the part I've lost, and in order to find my way back to that magical medium in my mind I've decided to cut back on the food photos and exercise diary. I'm not sure what that means, but my promise to you is to try and keep it interesting around here, and my promise to me is to be nice…to myself.
I'm not giving up on photographing food completely, just photographing all of my food. Like today, today's food needed photographing, because it was an experiment in mail-order chefdom!
At a party last month I met the founder of Plated, Nick Taranto–he was recently written up in the New York Times Business, Dining & Wine, and Dining & Wine (again) sections. We were chatting about food blogging,and when I checked my inbox the next day he'd sent me a voucher for two free meals!
I actually bought four meals, so I did pay a bit for this little experiment, but not much, each plate came out to $15.
Since The Fella is out and about tonight, I figured I had the perfect opportunity to experiment in the kitchen—reason being, I ordered fish and chicken entrees and Roy is a vegetarian. We try to keep the house meat free, but when I do need a meat-based meal I eat it when he's not around to watch.
So, what was on the menu tonight?
Roasted Salmon with Spring Pea Salad and Potatoes
My box o'food arrived while I was at work, luckily it was well iced and insulated, and still cold when I got home. A major concern when you're ordering fresh fish!
Inside where all sorts of baggies labeled by dish with their ingredients. I took out all of my "Salmon" ingredients and got started.
Armed with a list of ingredients, equipment, and instructions on how to make each dish (with awesometacular photo guides) I rolled up my sleeves and started cooking. Basically this experience was like reading a cookbook, only all of the ingredients are perfectly portioned in front of you and there's little to no prep work.
The recipe itself was really simple and the whole meal was finished in 30 minutes. The instructions even tell you when to start cooking things, as in "While the salmon cooks, start assembling the salad), ensuring that everything comes out at the same time.
I'm not sure I would want to fork over $15 for a regular at-home dinner on a regular basis, but I could definitely see myself using Plated again when I'm having people over for dinner, wanting to impress them, but not spend all my time in the kitchen. Also, I really liked the fact that I didn't have to waste time measuring, all the ingredients were perfectly proportioned inside.
The best part is that I have left overs.
The other best part is that I can keep the recipe card, and now have a new easy dish for fish-eating friends!
Later this week I'll be testing out a chicken and pasta dish, I'll keep you posted.

Research Interests
▪ Breast cancer genetics. ▪ Hormonal carcinogenesis. ▪ Breast cancer mouse models. ▪ Role of WWOX in cancer and other human pathologies. 1. Ductal Carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is by definition a cancerous precursor lesion to Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of the breast. Importantly, there are no reliable biomarkers to facilitate the distinction of DCIS lesions with higher chance of progression versus those lesions that are unlikely to progress. Thus, specific biomarkers for accurate patient stratification are needed to benefit patients from receiving unnecessary aggressive treatments and vice versa to identify those patients that require closer monitoring post standard treatment. Currently the Aldaz laboratory is engaged in comprehensive approaches to characterize the genome, transcriptome and methylome of DCIS lesions with the goal of identifying key driver mutations, epigenetic changes and gene expression alterations that occur at pre-invasive stages of breast cancer progression. These studies will lead to the identification of novel biomarkers with great potential to better stratify DCIS patients while hopefully impacting clinical management of DCIS patients while leading to the development of rationale based targeted therapeutic approaches. 2. Several years ago the Aldaz laboratory discovered a putative tumor suppressor gene (WWOX) affected in breast and many other cancers. This gene spans the second most common chromosomal fragile site, FRA16D and as consequence is frequently affected by genomic abnormalities and chromosomal rearrangements. A mouse conditional KO model has been developed for better understanding the role of WWOX in cancer. Interestingly, the WWOX locus was also shown to be a target in familial dyslipidemias and metabolic syndrome related conditions. Indeed, we recently demonstrated that WWOX modulates HDL metabolism and lipoprotein gene expression. In other recent collaborative studies it has been confirmed that WWOX is found mutated in a new form of autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia with epilepsy and mental retardation. In summary, multiple approaches are being pursued at Dr. Aldaz's lab to understand the role of WWOX not only in cancer but also in other important human pathological conditions.

Ellsbury diagnosed with different fracture
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
The second injury was likely sustained on May 23, just Ellsbury's second game back from the disabled list, when he made a diving catch in the bottom of the seventh inning in Philadelphia against Raul Ibanez. Ellsbury played one more game after that diving stop before he had to shut it down again.
Ellsbury won't do any baseball activities for roughly two weeks. He flew from Los Angeles to Arizona and will likely do his rehab exercises at the Athletes Performance Institute in Tempe for the next couple of weeks.
Though the Red Sox didn't issue a timetable for Ellsbury's return to the active roster, it seems unlikely that he would return before the All-Star break, which is on July 12.
The Red Sox issued a joint statement from team medical director Thomas Gill and Yocum before Thursday night's game against the Indians.
"An MRI of Jacoby's thoracic spine and posterior rib area, recommended by us jointly, revealed a non-displaced rib fracture and edema in the left posterior-axillary line. This fracture, which is in a different area than the initial fractures and which was not present on previous scans, is likely the result of a new injury which occurred when Jacoby dove and impacted the ground during his brief return to play. Jacoby will require several weeks of rest and physical therapy."
Ellsbury suffered a hairline fracture of four ribs in the sixth game of the season following a jarring collision with teammate Adrian Beltre. Ellsbury has played just nine games in 2010.
Jeremy Hermida, Bill Hall and Darnell McDonald will continue to share at-bats in the outfield during Ellsbury's absence. Mike Cameron, who was nearly moved to a corner outfield spot when it appeared Ellsbury was going to be back with the team, will continue to man center field.
The Red Sox have spent a lot of time this week trying to determine exactly what was wrong with Ellsbury. Francona has been in frequent contact with Ellsbury's agent, Scott Boras.
"He needs a couple of weeks of, when I say rest -- therapy, rehab, kind of probably non-baseball related," said Francona. "Posterior, he's sore. The idea was to go out and get him checked, and I'm glad we did. I think he needs some time down. Again, the communication from Boras' side has been fantastic. I know he's got a lot going on. I can see why his guys like him, because he's on top of everything, which is appreciated.
"I know he's talked to [general manager] Theo [Epstein] a bunch, but we'll send Jake to Arizona and get him going there, and then it's still going to always come back to 'as tolerated.' That's never going to change, because of what's happened to him, we'll kind of do the best we can."
Playing most of the season without Ellsbury, their dynamic leadoff man and best basestealer, the Red Sox entered Thursday night's game with a 35-26 record, five games behind the Rays in the American League East.
Marco Scutaro has served as the primary leadoff man in Ellsbury's absence.

Gabriel White graduated at the top of the class at angel school and attends a human school on earth in pursuit of knowledge, but then gets engrossed in a web game and decides its too much trouble to go anywhere. – ANN
Streaming at: Crunchyroll
Number of Episodes: 12
Source: Manga
Episode 1 Summary: Gabriel is the embodiment of angelic behavior. She graduates at the top of her class in angel school, then descends to earth in order to observe humans close up and make their lives better. It's a lofty task, but her inherent kindness and helpfulness keeps her on the straight-and-narrow, as one would expect of such a divine being. It's this trait of helpfulness that turns out to be her eventual downfall, however; while playing an MMO, Gabriel becomes tempted by a weapon that she can use to heal other characters, and soon gets sucked into a life of gaming and skipping school. She'd play hooky every day if not for her friend Vigne, an unusually straight-laced demon with a strong sense of responsibility. Gabriel also shares her school days with Satanichia, another demon who fancies herself the future Queen of Hell (but who's afraid of dogs and can't even manage to get away with not turning in her homework) and Raphiel, another angel with a vile personality.
Impressions: In the continuing saga of no one being able to predict what I'm going to find funny, I went into this show with zero expectations and actually laughed out loud a couple of times by the time the credits rolled. I guess I'm just not as self-aware as I think I am.
The show itself is deceptively simple, and seems to revolve around one particular concept – angels and demons behaving in ways that are generally thought of as being contrary to their very nature. Gabriel and Raphi are both blessed with various shades of shitty attitude, while Vigne and Satanichia are either overly-kind or ineffectual, depending on the moment. It's a gag that ought to run out of steam really quickly (and it very well could after a couple more episodes; I don't really know what to expect at this point), but it definitely just works. By the time Satanichia was ranting about not doing her homework, I was definitely laughing to myself.
Part of what I think really gets me going is that Gabriel's situation is pretty relateable. I played an MMO for a period of about three months many years ago, and never quite got into it much until I was asked by some other characters to join a raid. I got sucked into the experience completely, and spent an entire Sunday's worth of daylight playing the stupid thing. After it was over and we all went our separate ways, I looked to see that more than six hours had passed since I'd started; probably not that impressive to many of you, but it was a huge amount of time to me. Whereas I made the choice then and there to stop completely, though, Gabriel lets herself fall further and further down the rabbit hole, essentially screwing up her life in the process. I think seeing her flaws laid out and knowing full well that I could have become something similar, given the chance and the inclination, makes her story amusing to watch on some level.
I read some other anime blogs, of course, and in poking around I learned a new term for Gabriel's character type -she's a trash character (side note: Anime Feminist is a great blog – whereas I tend to be more broad and incorporate my own feminism into my anime examinations, they are very focused on the subject and are good at pointing out some of the things that I might overlook. Check them out!). Trash characters are those characters who, for whatever reason, have stopped caring about social propriety and let their real, harsh opinions and bad habits fly free for all to see. The iconic ones tend to be young women who stop caring about putting up appearances – one example that I can think of is Yukino from His and Her Circumstances, who appears to be very put-together at school, but who becomes a lazy slob at home. There are of course some questions as to whether this is a good thing or a bad thing as far as women's representation; to summarize some of the good points, these characters seem to reject traditional femininity but at the same time it's usually in service of some moé appeal. In short: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As usual, interpretations are in the eye of the beholder.
As for myself, I'm aware that this story was likely written to appeal to males on some level (the story originally appeared in a shounen magazine, after all), but I'm the type of fan who tends to overlook the hard demographic markers and take things for myself, since there isn't nearly as much material created specifically for my particular demographic (anime made for mid-thirties women is in short supply, sadly). This has been a very roundabout way of saying that I identify with what Gabriel is going through in that its so, so easy to fall off the productivity wagon, lose hope, and become cynical about life and towards others. Most of the time I find it easier to stay inside and screw around on the computer than to leave the house and go do something more "productive," so despite her specific situation being more extreme, I find that it makes sense to me.
I think if Gabriel were a lone lead, though, the show would get irritating quickly. It's the ensemble cast and its members' variable personality quirks that really make the episode entertaining. I mentioned Satanichia's inflated perception of herself as being memorable (just look at that accompanying image to the left – I think it's pretty representative of her personality), and it rings true for almost every scene she's in. I think a lot of other reviewers have found her to be outright grating, but I tend to like noisy, clueless characters (think Yukko from Nichijou) so I think that's why she hit me the right way. Vigne just tries so hard to be a demon and yet can't seem to help but be a goody two-shoes sweetheart. And Raphiel… when I say "bad personality" I don't think that properly encapsulates how rotten she is. She's truly a bully, but in a manipulative way that worms its way around your conscious perception and catches you by surprise. She's the type of character I would despise in a more serious setting, but as a foil for Satanichia I think she works well.
Overall I'm reminded a bit of Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, which has a similar story premise (but a more adult, vulgar outlook). In that series, there's a constant questioning of what acts are actually "good" or "bad," to the point that it actually becomes fairly serious and broad-reaching inquiry regarding morality and being judgmental about women's behavior. Right now the characters in this anime are maintaining a solid, humorous balance and I suspect the show won't really be asking those big, serious questions at any point. As I mentioned before, though, I worry that something more will have to happen in order to keep up the level of interest, because a one-gag show is rarely funny for twelve episodes.
As with most comedies, there are a couple of questionable gags. One in particular (that I admittedly laughed at anyway – sorry for being a flawed feminist and human being) involves Gabriel attempting a divine teleportation to make it to school on time. Ultimately, the only thing that transports is the pair of panties she's wearing (it's implied that the rest of her is so corrupted that the spell just doesn't work), and they appear over her desk in class. A group of teenage boys sees this as a divine miracle. Despite the scene being about a minute long, I feel like there are a lot of things I could pick apart – teenagers are not always the smartest, but I think the assumption that teenage boys are so goofy and sex-starved that the act of seeing a pair of a girl's underwear is a miracle makes me roll my eyes. I feel like the rest of the show is funny enough on its own merits that it doesn't have to stoop to this level, so it's a little bit frustrating to me. But again, I still chuckled at it.
I truly have no idea whether this anime series can remain funny beyond the first episode (I recall my experience with Himouto Umaru-chan where I found the introductory episode chuckle-worthy but the subsequent couple of episodes so profoundly flat that I dropped it like a turd), but I liked the introductory episode quite a bit. As of this writing, the second episode is available, so I might just go check it out. In any case, if you have a taste for somewhat low-brow comedic antics, I would definitely give this one a look.
Pros: Its simple premise provides more humor than might be apparent from first glance. The characters' personalities are over-the-top but meld well into a comedic unit. Gabriel is relateable.
Cons: Some of the gags are maybe too low-brow and/or cynical. There's the potential for one-note gags as the show progresses (or doesn't, as might be the case).

Imagine that you are a new entrepreneur. You have a great idea; you did your research, you're feeling optimistic and you just registered your company name. Experienced business people might call you naive.
The phone rings and someone asks for you by your company name. Wow! - you think, customers are calling already. Hello? - ok so it is not a customer, just someone offering a free gift, no wait, she said two free gifts - guaranteed! Hum, something for free, this sounds interesting.
She said you filled out a form at some trade show, (didn't catch the name of the trade show). That's possible because you have been to several trade shows. Sure you probably filled out the form she is talking about, even though you can't remember the form or the trade show.
What's that she is saying? Any two prizes out of a list including a fax machine, a trip to Club Med, a new computer, a diamond pendant, (oh your wife would love that - maybe she would actually appreciate your business idea), a video camera - latest technology, a 52 inch TV (she called it an entertainment centre) - which you could trade for $8,000 in cash. There were some other prizes but you start to wonder what do I have to do to get the prizes and how soon can I get them?
Reality Check
So far so good. Ok, what did I win? Oh, she said, the gift is contingent on a purchase of advertising.
"But I don't need advertising - just send me my gift. " I declared. At this point she hung up on me. I guess I blew the deal of the century. Stupid me, I asked too many questions. No free TV, Diamond pendant or trip to Club Med. The video camera sounded nice too.
This was the third call I received like this since I registered my business name just a few months ago. I wonder, how many more of these calls will I receive and how many people do they catch?
All three calls followed the same pattern. In none of the cases did we get to ordering. I suspect they wanted a credit card order over the phone.
The purpose was to sell a very specific order of advertising - pens with my company name - no choices, just take it or leave it. The order cost was between $200 and $300. I don't remember how many pens. She did not try to allow me the details to make an educated buying decision.
They spent 95% of the time explaining the free gifts, model numbers and the features of each "prize". At no time did the caller their purpose as that of selling pens. They obliquely referred to advertising. I had to probe to get details.
Each time it was a young sounding female voice that called. "Are you married?" she cooed. "Oh then your wife would love the diamond pendant. " Do they use a young sounding male voice to call a female registered business?
She made a big deal out of the fact that the purchase was 100% tax deductible. She did not seem to appreciate my statement that all business advertising expenses are 100% tax deductible. Soon after I said this she hung up.
Each time they called from Montreal, but they were selling in Ontario. What does that do to the verbal promises and guarantees? To contest any breach of promise would I go to court in Montreal, and how would I prove what they said on the phone? They have a different form of law in Quebec, - different from the rest of the country. They use the French civil law in Quebec. Too bad they didn't keep that other French machinery of civil law - the guillotine.
I know that there are many reputable specialty advertising firms in the area. When I need advertising, I will contact one of them and then I can see and touch the product and see whom I am dealing with. I will also be able to shop around and pick the product and supplier who best suits my needs - when I am ready. In the meantime, buyer beware!
PS. The above is a true story. In each case my questions became unbearable for the caller and they hung up. It's been several months now and there have been no more calls. I still do not need pens imprinted with my name.

This year is just flying past, isn't it and fingers crossed spring is on the way 🙂 . I just received my February stampy haul yesterday so be prepared for a ton or Lawn Fawn creations for the next couple of weeks hehe.
As it's Tuesday and also the first Tuesday of the month that means it's everyones' favourite challenge starting at Loves Rubberstamps….. 'Anything Goes'.
Prize Information:
One lucky participant will be chosen using a random number generator will be able to proudly display ourWinner's Badge on their blog!
We will have two different possibilities for a gift voucher prize from Loves Rubberstamps for the winner as well.
$10.00 – If the stamp used is from a company that we do not carry in our store
$20.00 – If the stamp used is from a company that we DO carry in our store
If you want to see what companies we carry visit our store Loves Rubberstamps
I mixed it up a little from my usual style today and used my fave Little Darlings stamp, Saturated Canary- Tilly ……
Side view…
Another view …
Saturated Canary- Tilly is just so funky and cute it would work for little girl and big girl cards alike. I stamped her onto Neenah Solar White Card using Momento 'Tuxedo Black' and coloured her using Copic Markers. The sentiment is from a Paper Smooches and is called Royal Cuteness.
First when I positioned Tilly straight onto to vellum layer it wasn't quite right so I quickly ran though Die-namics- Large Decorative Doily to act as a layer.
So glad you popped round today, have a good one!

After driving from Orlando to Jacksonville, then hitting up the expo, and attending the Mayo Clinic dinner with my fellow ambassadors, I was tired. Race morning for the 26.2 with Donna Half Marathon seemed to come so fast. Liz picked me up at my hotel at zero dark thirty. Somehow I forgot that I was in a hotel and didn't plan for my pre-race meal. Liz to the rescue! I'm forever grateful to her because she arrived with coffee and bagels from Dunkin Donuts! My hotel was a short drive to the Mayo Clinic, so parking there with a parking pass was convenient. We took the shuttle to the start. It was dark and kind of chilly, so being in the shuttle kept us warm for just a little bit longer.
As we arrived at the 26.2 with Donna Runners' Village, the sun was starting to rise! There were runners everywhere. And not just any runners. Runners decked out from head to toe in pink. I knew we would be painting the city pink, but to see it come together in real life was awesome! There was a silent bond among us runners. We were there for a reason. We were ready to help finish breast cancer. And I was ready to do my part!
While hanging around the corrals, I ran into several friends from Twitter. There's nothing better than spotting familiar faces at a race! I was excited to see Jen, who was running the half. Every time I see her, it's usually just for a second or two. So we decided to run the first few miles together! I was slightly nervous about the race. Coming off of the 5K and 10K at Disney, I didn't want any issues with my foot to creep up. We kept things nice and easy for the first couple miles.
We arrived at the beach at mile six. It was crazy to think we were almost half way done. It felt like we had just started. I wasn't sure about the sand at first. I have never run on sand. I don't even like sand. It's a fact. But I discovered that running on sand during a race is a different story. It was amazing!
After the beach, we were back on the roads. Once again we were surrounded by people cheering! I have never felt so supported before. Around mile 7, Liz took off on her own. This was her first half and she wanted to see what she could do. I wished her well and continued on. The funny thing is that I was never alone. All the other runners and spectators were there. Running side by side with survivors and those currently battling breast cancer was indescribable. We were all part of something bigger and I knew that.
The second half of the course had more hills. There was a ramp and a big ole' bridge. I'll be honest with ya....I had no idea about this bridge. I don't always check out the routes of races because I don't like worrying about what lies ahead. This bridge was no joke. And it was pretty much the only hurdle between runners and the finish.
After the bridge, it was just a short run to the 26.2 with Donna finish line. You could hear the crowd cheering and the after party music. It was all I needed to turn it up and finish strong. And I did just that!
My runDonna experience was amazing! From being an ambassador, to fundraising, and running, I owe a BIG thanks to everyone for your support!

Welcome to The Perryville Civil War Battlefield Website
Union Artillery 2017
Military Living History Participant Information and GuidelinesThe following information will guide you through the impression and guidelines for Perryville Battlefield's Living History Programs. Please read the following information thoroughly as it will answer most of the questions you may have about participating as a military living history participant. If you have further questions, email email@example.com or call 859-332-8631 to speak to the staff preservation and program coordinator.Primary ImpressionThe primary impression will be that of an artillery battery in the Army of the Ohio in the fall of 1862 during the Kentucky Campaign.FULL SCALE ARTILLERY ONLY – NO EXCEPTIONS! Military Living History Participant GuidelinesThe following guidelines were designed to insure the appropriate and typical impression of an artilleryman in the Army of the Ohio during the Kentucky Campaign of 1862. The men who made up the Army of the Ohio during 1862 were typically young men from rural communities and in general they represented the typical western theater soldier of the American Civil War. It is in their honor that we request that your impression be based upon those typical soldiers instead of some unusual or non-typical individual. Union Artillery ImpressionThese guidelines are organized in such a way as to suggest the most appropriate types of equipment and material for Living History use. As Living Historians, we must always be striving to improve our impression so as to better educate our visitors and honor the soldiers and civilians we strive to portray. These guidelines are based on continuing extensive research and documentation. The Union Artillery at PerryvilleThe Union Army at Perryville generally consisted of a mixture of veteran troops and raw recruits in the brigades, with James S. Jackson's Division being made up almost entirely raw troops. In general, one artillery battery, typically six guns, was attached to each brigade. The other divisions of the army typically had a ratio of four veteran regiments and one raw regiment. All of the artillery batteries, except for Parsons' Improvised Battery, were veteran organizations, being in the service for over a year.
"At length the order came for the battery to go to the front. How we envied the eager comrades as they swung themselves into their saddles and dashed forward at a sharp trot! The sun was hot and the horses' flanks were covered with sweat from the day's march, but they were in fine fettle, and one did not wonder at the flush of pride on the gallant Parsons' face as the guns filed past him and took their way along a narrow country road toward the left front. " -- A. Tourgee, 105th Ohio
"Parsons' Battery was noted in the National and the Confederate armies, and many stories are told of his courage and daring. At Perryville when his Battery was temporarily served by partially drilled infantry men, forty of his men were killed by a furious charge of the enemy and the rest driven back, but Parsons remained with his guns until he was dragged from them by a cavalryman, by order of General McCook." -- A Military Record of Battery D, First Ohio Veteran Volunteers Light Artillery
"It is said, that the men of the battery deserted Lieutenant Parsons while he was trying to bring one of the guns to bear on the enemy. It may be true; but it must be remembered that those men had only had their horses two weeks and their guns only ten days. They had never fired a shotted gun, and hardly a hundred blank cartridges until that day. So fierce was the attack that there was only time to change direction of part of the guns, the others remaining as at first posted, trained to the northward. Yet they stood by their guns until they lost almost forty per cent of the whole number engaged. It will not do to asperse the manhood of such men." -- A. Tourgee, 105th Ohio
The following guidelines are the minimum set of standards required to participate in the Battle of Perryville. The items that are listed under each heading are acceptable. If it is not listed, then it is not acceptable.Individual Reenactment organizations are encouraged to tailor their impressions to fit the particular batter they wish to portray. Abundant research is available upon the various units and we encourage participants to work with park staff to achieve their impression goals.Material and Construction: The enlisted men's infantry frock coats were constructed from dark blue woolen cloth. The frock was generally constructed with a six-piece body and 4 skirt panels. These coats appear to have light blue trim. There are numerous documented photos of men in Terrill's and Starkweather's Brigades wearing these coats. Federal Issue sack coats (fatigue blouse) are constructed of wool flannel (lose woven fabric with a twill weave.) These coats were issued both lined and unlined. The lining consisted of a linen or cotton and wool mixture.The artillery mounted service jacket was made from a dark blue wool material (wool broad-cloth or fine kersey). It was piped with "crimson" worsted wool tape denoting the branch. It generally was lined with coarse wool in green, brown or grey. The Schuylkill Arsenal jackets were entirely hand stitched with 12 small buttons. All jackets had hand stitched details and buttonholes. Trousers were made of sky blue woolen material (kersey). They would have been totally hand sewn or machine sewn with a single chain stitch. All trousers would have hand worked details and hand sewn buttonholes.
"100 men have joined the artillery unit of the regiment which, together with other things, leaves not over 600 men in the regiment fit for duty. The regiment was full at starting and was considered to be as good or better than any other from Ohio." -- Josiah Ayre, 105th Ohio
Jackets:* Infantry frock coats with appropriate blue wool tape * Fatigue blouses* Artillery services jacket with appropriate red wool tapeButtons: * Federal issue eagle* State buttonsSuspenders: Suspenders of civilian pattern, cotton webbing, canvas, or ticking with either button holes or leather tips with tin or brass buckles (no nickel plated metal).Trousers:* Sky blue * Sky blue footman's patternDrawers:Military issue or civilian style in cotton or wool flannel if wornShirts: * Federal Issue – domet –flannel shirt * Civilian woven checks or strips, period prints –EXTREMELY LIMITEDFootwear:* Brogan pattern shoes * Short military boots – just above the ankleWool or cotton knit socks in white, a basic color, or natural color; hand knit are bestHeadgear: * Forage cap* Period slouch hat (sewn on silk edge binding, fine wool or felt)NO cowboy hat conversions or shapeless hillbilly hat blanks and no animal parts. Hat brass should be kept at a minimum.Overcoats: * Foot pattern blue wool kersey, single breasted* Mounted pattern sky blue kersey, double breasted
Blankets:* Union issue blanket* Blanket made from period pattern wool The amount of civilian blankets should be extremely minimal. The Federal Army as it marched toward Perryville discarded blankets all the way. The 24th Wisconsin Infantry left Louisville with red wool blankets, but tossed them into the ditch along the march. These blankets were quickly picked up by veteran infantrymen who then discarded their old Federal issue "ratty" blankets. Eyewear and Glasses:Spectacles (what we call glasses today) were not a common item amongst Civil War soldiers or even civilians of that era. Hence, try to get by without glasses if you can while doing Living History or wear contact lenses. If you must wear glasses, visit antique stores and purchase a 19th century pair and have the lenses replaced with one of your prescription, preferably with safety lenses. No modern glasses may be worn at anytime as part of a Living History program.Civilian attire:Individual items of civilian attire are acceptable as identified above. The presence, though, of a recent recruit in the ranks entirely in civilian attire would certainly be possible in recently recruited artillerymen. Most new men were uniformed in about a month after joining the unit, but in a period of active campaigning, some time could pass before the usual military clothing could be issued. Personal effects:Not every soldier has to have every possible personal effect. However, having at least a few of these little items helps complete and enrich the impression. In choosing personal effects, remember that you will have to carry them. Common items were combs, toothbrush, pocketknife, housewife, handkerchief (bandannas/railroad scarves are not acceptable; they should particularly not be worn as attire or adornment) vests, civilian or military pattern wallet, writing paper pen and ink, pencil, mirror, playing cards, various game pieces' books or newspapers.Appearance:In addition to having the appropriate Living History equipment and material, it must be used and worn correctly. Pants and waist belts were worn at the real waist (i.e. the naval) and not at the hips; clothes were not form fitting. Hats and coats were worn whenever in public; pants were rarely tucked in the socks. By adopting the appropriate 19th century use and appearance, the Living History impression is remarkably improved.Kentucky was enduring a major drought during the fall of 1862. Federals and Confederates both were on lengthy marches on incredibly dusty roads. They would be extremely dirty. Their uniforms were in various states of repair and the dust and dirt would be abundantly obvious on their person and clothing.FULL SCALE ARTILLERY ONLY – NO EXCEPTIONS!Artillery Pieces will only be full-scale guns of the type used at the Battle of Perryville. Mortars, volley guns, and Gatling guns are prohibited. Artillery pieces will be equipped with limbers.

Horse Drawn Artillery General Operation RulesHorse-drawn artillery will operate no faster than a slow-trot, except when traveling up-hill at a cantor.Horse RequirementsNo appaloosas, paints, or pintos, unless they can visually pass for a breed commonly in use by the armies during that time period. No stallions or ponies. Do not tie horses to loose or unsecured items! Health RequirementsA current EIA Test (Coggins) is required for each animal within 1 year of the date of the event. Out of state horses will need a health certificate within 30 days of the date of the event. In state horses will need a health certificate within 1 year of the event. Health papers are required for transport within state lines. Current flu, rhino, tetanus vaccinations are highly recommended for each horse. If said paperwork is not in order, or if the veterinarian deems the animal to be unhealthy, the participant's animal will not be allowed access to the site(s). A veterinarian will be on-site or on call for the entire event weekend. Horses must be supervised and maintained at all times. Horse Equipment for the Horse Drawn Guns – all horse drawn gun harness and equipment must be period correct in construction and material. Absolutely no chrome, bright steel, nylon or overly decorated harness is allowed. If you have a question about your harness, please contact the park.Horse Miscellaneous – Forage will be provided for all horses. Water troughs will be situated near all encampments. All horse trailers will have designated parking areas. Said parking areas will be patrolled by the Kentucky Department of Parks. Camping out of trailers will not be allowed.Tentage and CampsThe living history program was developed to allow the visiting public to understand the workings of a fixed military encampment.

Camp EquipageEach soldier should carry a period tin cup, knife, fork, spoon, and tin plate. More extensive cooking items such as period individual frying pans (even improvised ones from old canteens) are not necessary and should be very limited. Cooking was done in messes (four or five to fifteen men) sharing the cooking duties and using large cooking utensils such as kettles, camp kettles, frying pans, coffee pots, Dutch ovens, large spoons and forks, butcher knives, mess pans, wooden water buckets, axes, etc. These large items were carried in the regimental baggage wagons which accompanied the troops except in the presence of the enemy. They were often packed in wooden boxes serving as mess chests. When the soldiers were issued rations (normally in three to five day increments), the baggage wagons with the cooking utensils were present except on rare occasions. In some units, the soldiers assigned to the wagon trains did the cooking and the rations were delivered cooked to the troops in the ranks. Tables, chairs, and stools were not provided for soldiers or even company officers. Due to the impression they will be allowed in the fixed encampment scenarios, but they must be period correct.

Taiwanese Rapper Transcending Industry Norms
Taking The Art Of Rap Global & Transcending Industry Norms
Bilingual Taiwanese rapper Andrew Wang proves he is a force to be reckoned with, by combining his love for the art of music—with his business savvy approach.
WORLDWIDE, November 27, 2014—It is estimated that less than 5% of musicians achieve enough success to enjoy the amount of success they require to live off of their passion for their art full-time. Even artist who have the "It Factor" required to make it big, can fail—because they lack the business savvy that is essential to make the career choices that lead to long-lasting success. That being said, those who can combine artistry with intellect will enjoy their art for many years to come—just as bilingual rapper Andrew Wang has done.
Wang entered the music industry over a decade ago, and quickly learned that diversifying his portfolio would help him to achieve the success he desired. Not only a talented Taiwanese rapper, Wang began writing and producing hits for other artists based in Shanghai's hiphop scene.He surrounds himself with creative individuals, and specializes not only in Music—but also Marketing and Fashion.
"Andrew Wang is a prolific songwriter, who has a knack for crafting chart topping hits. He is a versatile artist who has become one of the most sought after, and premier bilingual rappers and producers in Taiwan."
On top of that, Wang is a bilingual taiwanese rapper who delivers his rhymes in both English and Mandarin verbal acrobatics. This allows him the flexibility and freedom to cross over to a larger audience base—as well as experiment with the current styles of rap most popular from around the globe.
"My love of the art of rap is what keeps me writing and laying down my own tracks, but it is my passion of music that has me collaborating with others as a songwriter and producer too." Andrew Wang
