A decline in the proportion of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions absorbed by land and oceans is speeding up the growth of atmospheric CO2, according to a paper published 23 October 2007 in the US Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
Lead author and Executive Director of the Global Carbon Project, CSIRO's Dr Pep Canadell, says the acceleration is due to three factors: global economic growth; the world's economy becoming more carbon intense (that is, since 2000 more carbon is being emitted to produce each dollar of global wealth); and a deterioration in the land and oceans' ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere at the required rate.
"What we are seeing is a decrease in the planet's ability to absorb carbon emissions due to human activity," Dr Canadell says.
"Fifty years ago, for every tonne of CO2 emitted, 600kg were removed by land and ocean sinks. However, in 2006, only 550kg were removed per tonne and that amount is falling."
Dr Canadell says the results have major implications for the current and future growth of atmospheric CO2.
"The majority of current emission scenarios for modelling climate through the 21st century assume sustained decreases in the carbon intensity of the global economy, which have not occurred since 2000," he says.
CSIRO's Dr Mike Raupach, a co-chair of the Global Carbon Project, says "The carbon cycle is generating stronger-than-expected and sooner-than-expected climate 'forcing' – that is, mechanisms that 'force' the climate to change. In turn, climate change itself is feeding back to affect the carbon cycle, decreasing land and ocean sinks."
Most of the co-authors of the study – including Dr Canadell and Dr Raupach – are members of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 earlier this month.
Dr Raupach says the research shows that the Earth is losing its restorative capacity to absorb CO2 emissions following massive increases in emissions over the past half century. "The longer we delay reducing emissions, the more restorative capacity will be lost," Dr Raupach says.

New research reveals that investment banks are cutting back on both the number of analysts they employ and the number of stocks they cover.
According to Starmine, 326 UK stocks are currently researched, the lowest number since 1999. Analyst numbers have reduced 15% from the 1999 peak to 293. Across Europe, stocks researched have fallen by 15% since the 2002 peak and analyst numbers have fallen by around 20% since 1999. Only in North America have the number of stocks researched increased - to a record 298, up 20% on last year.
US regulator the Securities and Exchange Commission is said to be investigating around a dozen brokerage firms, including Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and Charles Schwab, for failing to adhere to the 'best execution' obligation, whereby stocks are acquired for customers at the best available price.
UBS is said to have acheived a hiring coup, when the firm attracted Merrill Lynch star broker John Fitzpatrick to join up. Fitzpatrick is said to have managed in excess of $1bn for Merrill clients, including former General Electric CEO, Jack Welsh. Merrill is trying to play down the broker's move, saying that 'we're net positive in recruiting from UBS this year'.
Finally, former US Vice-President Al Gore is starting up a London-based investment management business with David Blood, who used to head up asset management at Goldman. The new firm is to be called Generation Investment Management. The firm will also have an office in Washington (surprise, surprise). Minimum investment will be $3m.

New Advanced Upper School Courses Expand Rigor and Deepen Student Offerings
The Upper School added six innovative and unique advanced course offerings this school year to continually deepen and broaden the St. Margaret's curriculum to challenge student ability, interest and scholarship.
"These outstanding new course offerings go beyond the standard and reflect our focus on relevant 21st-century curriculum and the ever-increasing skill and interests of our students. Our students and parents expect this from us, and we have the shared vision, agility and bench-strength in our faculty to continually evolve and deliver dynamic, advanced and unique curriculum," said Upper School Principal Tony Jordan.
The six new Upper School courses offered this school year are:
- Advanced Placement Physics C, taught by Steve Harless
- Multivariable Calculus, taught by Math Department Chair Steve Sherman
- Introduction to Software Engineering, taught by Gene Wie
- Holocaust and Contemporary Genocide, taught by Brian Carmer
- Chinese V, taught by Esther Hsu
- The Study and Production of American Cinema, taught by Nicki Yokota
"We are very thoughtful about the new courses we add to our curriculum to serve student interest and advanced skill, and we look for ongoing opportunities to motivate our students at the highest levels of study and to tap the superior depth of expertise among our faculty," said Mr. Jordan.
"Multivariable calculus, for example, is a college-level advanced math course. We recognized that we have a cohort of upper class students who were capable of stretching themselves to work at that level of math study, as well as the faculty expertise in Math Department Chair Steve Sherman to teach the course. It is an outstanding addition to our program—we stretch our students by continuing to stretch our curriculum. We expect students to continue to rise to new levels and take these courses in the coming years as well," said Mr. Jordan.
Assistant Principal Ryan Dahlem added, "St. Margaret's students are enthusiastic learners, intellectually curious, highly motivated and possess areas of genuine academic passion. These new course offerings, both in STEM disciplines and the humanities, provide opportunities for students to pursue in-depth study in subjects that matter to them."
Introduction to software engineering, another course addition this year, is a highly specialized advanced computer science course only for students who have already excelled in Advanced Placement computer science. The breadth of St. Margaret's computer science program has prepared many students for this advanced study and this course will take them further.
"In delivering increasingly rigorous coursework that is relevant to their lives, we are nurturing the highest level of academic pursuit and engagement to prepare students to thrive in college and ultimately as lifelong learners. We know, too, that college admission offices respond well to students who have demonstrated intellectual vitality in high school and will bring their talents and love of learning to college. The breadth of our curriculum provides opportunities for students to nurture their academic passions and demonstrate the curiosity and energy sought by universities across the country," said Mr. Dahlem.
Course Descriptions for the Five New Advanced Upper School Offerings
Advanced Placement Physics C
This course is a two-part course broken into AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism. The mechanics portion of the class includes units on kinematics, Newton's Laws of Motion, work, energy, power, linear momentum, circular motion, angular momentum, oscillatory motion and gravitation. The electricity and magnetism portion of the class include units on electrostatics, conductors, capacitors and dielectrics, electric circuits, magnetic fields and electromagnetism. At the end of the course, there are two AP tests, one for each section of the course. AP Physics C is a calculus-based course that will use definite integrals and derivatives. The mechanics portion of the class is equivalent to the introductory physics sequence taken by science and engineering students at most colleges and universities. The electricity and magnetism portion of the class is equivalent to the second semester of the introductory physics sequence typically offered at colleges and universities.
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus Honors or AP Calculus AB
Corequisite: AP Calculus BC
Multi-variable Calculus
This is a year-long college level course in calculus. It extends the ideas of calculus of a single variable as presented in AP level calculus courses (AB and BC). The course employs a flipped classroom platform using courseware from MIT and parallels similar courses offered at the collegiate level. Topics covered include vectors, matrices, parametric equations for planes and lines, vector valued functions, partial derivatives, gradients, lagrange multipliers, and multiple integration techniques. The course also blends foundational ideas from differential equations and linear algebra. An emphasis will be placed on collaborative analysis as applied to real life problems and student-centered discovery.
Prerequisite: Successful completion of AP Calculus BC and departmental approval
An elective course for Upper School students
The Holocaust and Contemporary Genocide
In this course students will engage in a comprehensive study of the events leading up to the Holocaust, the historical context of the Holocaust itself, and understand the relevance to contemporary society. Students will examine literature and other media reflecting many perspectives in order to gain a greater understanding of how the Holocaust originated, developed, and subsequently affected the lives of people in central Europe and elsewhere in the world. Students in this course will study first-hand accounts of Holocaust survivors, particularly the forgotten or overlooked victims including women, children, the disabled, elderly, homosexuals, and others throughout Europe who dared to oppose the Nazi regime. A major focus of this course is to provoke critical thought about the destructive and constructive ways in which cultural differences may be identified and resolved. Furthermore, students will develop an understanding of the ramifications of stereotyping, prejudice, racism, and anti-Semitism in society. Finally, students will analyze comparisons to cotemporary genocides that have occurred in many different parts of the world. Special topics to be addressed include social oppression, conflict identification and management, international peace and justice, and global citizenship.
Introduction to Software Engineering
For students who have completed AP computer science, this project-based course is a survey into contemporary software engineering techniques. Using the popular Android smartphone platform, students will work in teams to develop a variety of software applications to improve mobile access to campus resources.
Prerequisite: AP Computer Science
An elective course for Upper School students
The Study and Production of American Cinema
Students will learn the history of American cinema by screening classic films from the inception of this art form and its evolution throughout the decades. Students will develop an appreciation of film through classroom lectures and discussion on the climate of change via historical events, societal attitudes, economic conditions, and technological innovation. Students will demonstrate their understanding through project-based assignments of creating media projects based on genres, styles or directors.
Chinese V
This course will give students an opportunity to refine their four language proficiency skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing in the intermediate-high level across the three communicative modes (interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational) and the five Cs (communication, culture, connections, comparisons and communities) as defined in the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century.
Essential grammar is reviewed and defined for advanced proficiency in the language. This course provides students an opportunity to immerse in the richness of Chinese language and culture by comparing Chinese-speaking cultures with his/her own culture and presenting selections from a variety of literature and media. Students are required to speak in Chinese as much as possible to increase their confidence in applying target language at home, at school, and in the community.
Prerequisite: Chinese IV or to have passed the Chinese V Placement Test.

~ August 14th - 606 / Bloomingdale Trail
WHEN: Friday, August 14th - 11am-12PM.
WHERE: Meet at 1836 N. Ridgeway, Chicago, IL
COST: free!
Please note that the maximum number of attendees is 30 so we are accepting people on a first come first serve basis.
The 606 is a decade in the making.
Despite the neighborhood's historic boulevards, Logan Square needed an additional 99 acres of active open space just to be brought up to City minimums. The City's proposal to convert the Bloomingdale Line to a park was included in the 2004 Logan Square Open Space Plan, which prompted the Chicago Department of Transportation to begin applying for federal transportation funding for the project.
The park and trail system is also the signature project of Mayor Emanuel and his push to create 800 new parks, recreation areas and green spaces throughout Chicago. The City of Chicago and The Chicago Park District, and The Trust for Public Land have provided the financial, cooperative, and logistical strength to move this public-private partnership from a dream into reality.
The 606 brings together arts, history, design, trails for bikers, runners, and walkers, event spaces, alternative transportation avenues, and green, open space for neighbors, Chicagoans, and the world. We look forward to sharing The 606 with you and your family.
This is a very interesting tour that we are sure you will enjoy and learn a lot from.
RSVP: On or before Wednesday, August 12, 2015

Marriott International has announced its plans for the construction of three new hotel properties in Cape Town, this comes on the back of becoming the largest hotel group in the world. The group is also expanding further into Africa with signings of properties in Nairobi and Mauritius.
CEO of Marriott, Arne Sorenson made the announcement at the Melrose Arch Development Site, where the first two Marriott-branded properties in South Africa will be built. Last year, Marriott announced the construction of the Johannesburg Marriott Hotel Melrose Arch and the Marriott Executive Apartments Johannesburg Melrose Arch. These properties are expected to open in 2018.
The AC Hotel Cape Town will be located at the Yacht Club in the Roggebaai precinct, the gateway to Cape Town's waterfront, while the 200-room Cape Town Marriott Hotel Foreshore and the 150-room Residence Inn by Marriott Cape Town Foreshore will be located at the Harbour Arch. The Cape Town deals are in partnership with the Amdec Group.
The Sheraton brand will introduce the Sheraton Mauritius St Felix Resort and The Residences at the St Felix Resort. The resort, a part of a mixed-use development with a retail mall and residences, is scheduled to open in early 2020, with 152 guest rooms and suites and 37 apartments and villas.
In Kenya, Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi, Hurlingham, will be close to the city centre and surrounding business areas. The 96-room hotel, a conversion from an existing hotel, is expected to open in 2017.
Alex Kyriakidis, president and MD, Middle East and Africa for Marriott International, says, "The developments in both Cape Town and Johannesburg confirm the country's importance to the international travel market – for both the business and leisure traveller. From the perspective of tourism, the addition of three hotels in Cape Town, catering for different market segments among both international and domestic visitors, will strengthen the position of the city as one of the world's top destinations."

Calling an area this central "off the beaten path" can be quite daring, but we think the stretch of the Old Town between the National Theatre and the Charles Bridge can offer a truly authentic, local experience, with many venues frequented more by locals than foreign visitors. You see, most of Prague's visitors move between the two bridges along the river bank, which surely is beautiful, but sadly bypasses some hidden, shady streets just a block away from the river that can offer some nice culinary and shopping opportunities.
And on top of that, this area, which takes the total of some 15 to 30 minutes to explore at a leisurely pace, is just utterly beautiful, with a nice, quiet atmosphere that can be enjoyed literally seconds from the madness that is the Charles Bridge. Just a few steps away, you have an area where you can fall in love with Prague all over again, have a breather or contemplate the day in some of the nicest cafes and bars in Prague, and talk to the owners of some of the nicest and cleverest shops in the entire city. What follows are our personal tips for the area.

Summer Program 2015
Purpose of the program
In summer of 2012 YWAM St.Lucia hosted their first ever summer program. The summer program is a two week program which is held during the summer time. The purpose of this program is to help participants draw closer to God to learn how to know him and make him known, Serve those in need as expression of Love, build healthy relationships and explore some of their gifting and talents.
This year YWAM Saint Lucia hosted their 4th summer program which started on the 2nd of August to the 15th. During that time we hosted 40 peoples from eight Nationalities including 31 participants which of aged 12 to 34 years. Participants came from different parts of the world with a multinational group of 19 arriving from Barbados including Canada and USA, we also had Germany, England, Brazil, St Marteen, but also St.Lucia and Cameroon.
giving the number of participant the YWAM main compound could only host the girls and serve serve as gathering place for meals and some meetings the other participants and volunteer where hosted in two difference apartment rented 10 minutes away. the ten outside the Main YWAM compound help shelter from the sun during meals
Everyday we started the program with half and hour of bible reading, after participants were given the opportunity to give their feedback on what they understood and how it will be applied to their lives now and in the future. A time of worship and intercession followed. The days were divided into two, on mornings were lecture and on afternoons outreach, which was a practical activity. During the first week of the program different topics were taught, such as: Quiet time, sharing your faith, Assurance of Salvation and more, which helped in strengthening their faith and the foundations of their Christian lives. On the afternoons participants were taken to the boys training center and different elderly homes around the city which helped them serve in different ways. They presented songs, dramas, shared their lives with some and just spent time listening to them especially the elders. We also had some time of small group where the participants shared their views on what they leant from the teachings taught earlier in the day, this gave the individuals the opportunity to share their heart and how they feel about the teachings. Also we spent time playing football, basketball and many other fun games, not forgetting craft with Jumbo, where the participants were taught how to make local crafts such as hats, fruit baskets, birds and fishes with coconut branches. That they enjoyed very much.
In the second week we had a few teachings, but went a bit more practical. We spent time in the city doing track distribution and also bus evangelizing, which encouraged participants to share their faith and the love of Jesus Christ with those persons that they met, an experience which was new to most of them, but they did enjoy it, some of them hoping to do it after when they get back home.
After sharing with and serving persons, we had an island tour, where we went to Soufriere, visited the Maranatha prayer gardens, went to the Tourelle waterfall, spent time at the beach and also the sulfur springs which was incredible.
Through out the entire program after speaking to the participants it was realized that their expectations were met and some were even exceeded. Some of them the way they viewed God changed, they created great friendships and looking forward to sharing with their friends and families about this great experience. Participants were also encouraged to hold on tightly to the principles that they were taught, to help them in their Christian walk in order to bring a change to those around them. This Caribbean Wave program was another success...

Earlier this month I held my first live artist workshop at Whole Wheat & Honey Cafe. I demonstrated how I make hand carved stamps, and then students followed along and carved their own potato stamps, which they used for making lots of holiday cards.
It was a really great way to mark the transition from my previous job as full time manager of the cafe for the past 4 years - to my new job - as an entrepreneur and creative teacher growing my business online.
Since we are moving away from my hometown for a year so that my partner can complete his Masters, I really wanted to host a live workshop at the cafe as a test run for the online stamp carving course I am hoping to release online before Christmas.
I won't always be able to be in the same room with the people who want to learn creative skills from me. That is why I really want to build creative courses that my students can purchase online and complete in their own home on their own schedule.
Like anything new, you always learn valuable lessons from your first experience. The evening was scheduled to start at 7pm and finish by 9pm. I had a single page workshop outline typed up with each section assigned an amount of time and also one scheduled break in the middle. Very organized.
When I made it to the front of the room to address the class that we were about to start, I couldn't find my outline, having misplaced it while unpacking all the supplies. After ad-libbing nervously for a minute, I just started going over the supplies we were going to be using and eventually found my sheet, hidden underneath, lol.
The class was attentive and eager to get started, which was so exciting. After a brief demo at the front of the room it was self-directed from there, as I floated about the room to answer questions and just be generally amazed at the awesome cards they were creating on their own.
I realized early on that we might run short on time, but instead of panicking too much I asked the participants if anyone needed to be home by 9pm as planned, but everyone was happy to stay until a bit later to finish up.
Once we got started carving our potato stamps and letting our first layer of paint on our cards dry - I thought it was also important to take a break and tell a bit about my own story and how I got to this point - teaching people how to carve stamps with the goal of growing a creative business.
The quick version - I have always loved fabrics - specifically the bright, colourful patterns and designs printed on fabric. That's how I first learned how to sew as a teenager - I would find something at the thrift store - like a large floral moo moo dress that someones grandmother would have worn - and I'd cut it up and turn it into a fashionable skirt in my own size - because I loved the print on the fabric so much.
Growing up in a small town there really wasn't a lot of options for shopping - so it was exciting for me as a teenager who wanted to wear something different - to make some truly original clothes myself.
My first career was as a Fashion Designer, but after leaving that behind in my early 20's to travel, I have dabbled in many other creative outlets and eventually back to my true love of textiles. In wanting to create print and patterns on fabric, I eventually learned how to carve my own illustrations into rubber blocks, that can be used for printing patterns on nearly any kind of material, including paper stock for cards, and of course onto fabric as well.
I also had on display the work that I completed as part of my artist residency this summer at the City of Fort St John Passive House. I took the month of August off to create a body of work that had been calling to be made by me for a long time.
This included drawings, many stamps, and ultimately 60 square feet of hand-printed fabric that I am planning to sew into a quilt before 2016 is over. By making art in the passive house I really wanted to convey what a special space it is - and recognize what a privilege it was to call the space our home and share it with the public through tours this past year (and more) as ambassadors of the demonstration project.
What I really love about making and using my own hand carved stamps - is how each stamp never really produces the same image twice. Depending on the colour or the surface material and the pressure used to push the block onto the surface - there will always be something unique about each print. I also love how the act of carving into the surface of a block, can bring a flat illustration to life with depth and texture.
What I loved about teaching this workshop was watching how with a little bit of instruction - each person in the room can take the same set of supplies and basic skills and create their own unique version of the project. It really is just as fun to watch others create as creating itself.
And the feeling was contagious based on the following feedback from a friend below!
I think this photo about sums up the evening - a whole lot of fun, laughter and creative abandon! #artandwine
I can't wait to share the online version of this course when I finish creating it in time for Christmas. And the evening was such a success that I might even try to drive back home for a live Valentine card making workshop in February - we will see how the winter roads are!

What Measures Should You Adopt for Ensuring that Your Carpets Continue to Look Clean and Stylish?/
Flooring suppliers in Australia can provide an enviable range of flooring materials and options. Among these, carpets are probably the most comfortable. They feel incredibly soft underfoot. In addition, installing them is hardly a challenging proposition.
Not surprisingly, many homeowners have installed carpets in their Sutherland Shire properties. However, carpets are not the best when it comes to durability. They are prone to gathering dirt, dust, dander and all kinds of allergens. So, if you don't take proper care of your carpets and clean them regularly, they will start looking dirty and shabby fairly quickly.
It goes without saying that keeping your carpet in prime condition remains an ongoing task. But, it is worth highlighting that you can increase the lifespan of your carpet by maintaining it well.
Some of the top tips to consider for taking good care of your carpets involve:
- Vacuuming Regularly: All your carpets need a thorough vacuuming at least once a week. For carpets placed in high-traffic areas, consider vacuuming them twice a week. Doing so could help you get rid of the dust and dirt accumulated in the fibres. This would go a long way towards keeping your carpets clean and fresh.
- Avoiding Treading on Carpets with Shoes and Other Footwear: The lesser opportunities for dirt and dust to accumulate on your carpets, the longer your carpets will last. As such, it might be a good idea to remove their shoes and other footwear at the entrance to the house. Using slippers indoors only could ensure that dirt from outside does not make your carpets dirty.
- Cleaning Spills Immediately: Not everyone realises how important it is to clean a spill immediately. The longer you leave the spill, the tougher it becomes to remove it subsequently. Instead of scrubbing the stain, simply dab at it. Follow this up by cleaning the carpet with a recommended carpet cleaner.
- Keeping Your Pets Clean: If you have pets in the house, always ensure that you clean their paws once they come indoors. This is especially so if your living areas feature carpets. Pet hair has a tendency to drop and accumulate on carpets. So, you might need to vacuum more frequently if this is the case. Consider using some repellents in case you want to make your pets avoid the carpeted areas in your home.
- De-odourising Your Carpets: At times, carpets can seem to give off unpleasant odours. To get rid of these odours, sprinkle some baking soda on the carpet. Baking soda can absorb odours well, thereby keeping your carpet odour-free. Be cautious when using carpet powders as they could leave residual stains.
- Using Area Rugs and Runners: Whether you have vinyl or laminate flooring in your Picton home, adding carpets to your home interiors could be great. However, using carpets in high-traffic areas could make them wear faster. Avoid this by using area rugs and runner in such areas. Area rugs and runners do not wear as fast as carpets do. In addition, they could enable you to infuse some colour into your interior décor.
- Availing the Services of Professional Carpet Cleaning Companies: At least once a year, it might be worthwhile to use professional carpet cleaning services for cleaning your carpets thoroughly. Research online and visit forums and review sites to ascertain the best carpet cleaning company in your area.

Just found out a documentary on childbirth that was made a few years ago and was conceived and directed by Leslie Dektor, a director I worked with on several commercials, some of them prize winners, and one of the best directors I ever worked with (including on movies, TV shows and plays), and for which I wrote a poem (about the birth of my youngest child, Flynn), and Leslie used lines from it in the voiceover (me reading) and onscreen (printed words, as section dividers etc.), is free to see here on Vimeo. Worth watching.

There was once a time, and not that long ago, when you could be assured of finding a shop capable of making everything from a bespoke suit to a pair of custom shoes in your city. The economies of scale involved and the efficiencies of our times have sent those practices and the artisans who ran them nearly into extinction.
Or perhaps not.
Now a pair of European designers, Eugenia Morpurgo and Juan Montero have created their Don't Run-Beta shop as a proof-of-concept to bring back the idea of locally-made goods being built to order in an economical and sensible way.
Their experimental shoe shop is focused on the idea that, due to the most modern production techniques, shoe making and design might one day prove an alternative to mass production through small scale, on demand. digital fabrication.
"This is about trying new things in a shop. By laser cutting and 3D printing shoes on the premises, we eliminate a good chunk of production," Montero says.
They do it by printing and assembling each shoe – no glue is used – from five or more pieces of leather and printed materials. Using rapid manufacturing via laser cutters and 3D printers, the shop can create the components from scratch. It's a startling sort of process where no stitching or gluing is needed for the assembled shoes.
Montero adds that the shop also benefits from what he calls "controlled waste."
"We only have to buy as much as we can store," Montero said. "We make the shoes on demand. There's no surplus, There's no warehouse of size 8's. We pick the raw material, cut the raw material, and when it runs out? We buy some more. This effectively reduces the need for any real physical storage and helps to eliminate as much as 75% of the current production process.
Importantly, it also allows us to bypass the huge initial economic investments implicated in shoe production."
The method has other benefits as well, like what to do with the footwear once it's useful life has ended. They call it "facilitated disassembly," and it means components can be disposed of and recycled.
The shoes themselves, and they're admittedly limited by the process, were created from templates created by shoe designers Sophia Guggenberger, Eliska Kuchtova and Anastsija Mase. The designers were tasked with developing and producing a pair of shoes based on the Don't Run - Beta system, and they had to work within the constraints the production method.

#EnergyStorage #FlowBattery #Vanadium @CellCubeEnergy installs 1st of 2 long duration flow battery systems for a solar storage microgrid in Victor, NY. Will be used to reduce peak demand charges, self-consumption of solar energy, & resilience w/microgrid. https://read.bi/2ua8tGQ
O'Connell Electric is installing two CellCube systems at their facility in Victor, New York,, as part of testing and evaluating system integration and performance. O'Connell plans on integrating two CellCube systems as part of a solar/storage microgrid system. The system will generate benefits for O'Connell by (1) reducing their peak demand charges; (2) enabling self-consumption from the energy generated by their solar system; and (3) Providing energy during outage events.
O'Connell is also planning on representing the CellCube line of products in the Northeastern United States, and has an interest in fully understanding the performance and capabilities of the system before offering it to their customers.
Velerity Insight - The system O'Connell is implementing is ground breaking in its configuration, technology choice and application. Most innovative is O'Connell's leveraging multiple value streams to extract the most value from their investment. With an eight hour flow battery, O'Connell will be able to reliably reduce their peak energy use and reduce their demand charges. For commercial customers, demand charges can represent up to 30% of their monthly electric bills, even more when solar is installed.
The second opportunity to derive value from the flow battery is to keep solar generated electricity from going on to the grid. Depending on the net metering contract under which O'Connell is operating, the value of solar electrons that escape onto the grid are typically compensated at less than retail value. Accordingly, keeping those electrons close to home, for self-generation, is more valuable than exporting them to the grid.
The third value being provided by the flow battery is to provide backup power during outages. A fourth value, which has not been identified, is for O'Connell to go on a time of use rate, and then to time shift the use of stored energy from low value time periods to high value time periods. The use of long duration storage to provide multiple value streams for end-use customers is the true innovation of this configuration.

One of the reasons for the paucity in blog updates is that I had been spending a LOT of time in the gym working out to get in tip top shape (one week I went 9 times: once every weekday and twice a day on weekends). I have a really good personal trainer at the gym and I lost about 10 pounds in the last 2 mos, but by that I mean losing 20 lbs of fat and gaining 10 lbs of muscle.HOWEVER, after just 3 days in Japan, 2 mos of hardcore training have gone straight out the window. hahaha. Nah, just kidding but eating ramen every day is KILLING me. Especially since I have no qualms about ordering 替え玉 (kaedama) a 2nd (or 3rd... or 4th) serving of noodles to go with any ramen broth that's left over. =P Aside from a modicum of protein from the chashu pork, ramen is predominantly carbs, sodium and saturated fats. I thought Ramen Jiro was as bad as you can get (for your health, taste-wise Jiro is f*cking AWESOME) but yesterday I went to a place called Junk Garage. The original shop is in Saitama and it is quite legendary. You can read about the original store in esteemed ramen blogs such as Ramen Adventures and Ramenate, Junk Garage essentially went out of their way to one-up Ramen Jiro for the title of most decadently unhealthy yet equally delicious bowl of noodles on the planet. If you want insulin dependent diabetes eat at Junk Garage a few times and I'm sure you'll get your wish. I went to the new location @ Ramen Street in Tokyo Station This is what my bowl of maze-men looked like:
It doesn't look too frightening, but maze-men is an upgraded form of abura-soba. Abura-soba is a style of Ramen where the soup is replaced with an oil-like gravy of melted pork fat. Bubuka is a chain that makes an awesome bowl of regular abura-soba. Maze-men takes abura-soba and throws in nastier ingredients that you mix together into a thick, HEAVY, testicular fortitude increasing meal. The standard maze-men at Junk Garage comes with premium noodles (from top-rated sister tsukemen shop Rokrinsha) drenched in a puddle of pork fat then layered with THICK pieces of mouth-watering chashu, mayonnaise, baby star crispy noodles, bonito flakes and spices. On top of that you can add varying amount of cheese, fresh garlic, more chashu, a heap of bean sprouts and get this... extra morsels of pure fat. Did I ask for extra fat? Oh hell yeah! I did get all the possible toppings but I didn't go overboard on the quantity. Correction: I didn't ask for yasai/moyashi (bean sprouts) cuz if you pile that sh*t up your bowl has the potential to look like this:
(note: the "yasai" is more typically a topping for Junk Garage's ramen which they also serve in addition to the more popular maze-soba. That's because the bean sprouts can soak up the soup to some degree but with maze-soba the sprouts just stay raw and crispy. blech.) (the massive bowl pictured above is actually the ramen, not the maze-soba at Junk Garage.)
After eating a bowl of maze-soba at Junk Garage you feel a bit queasy. The first 1/3 is like heaven and then the extreme fat/carb overload becomes progressively cloying. Too much of a good thing leaving you with the feeling that you might not want to eat ramen ever again. I don't even want to know how many calories are in a bowl of maze-soba but I'm sure I already hit my week's quota with that one serving.
If you go to Japan and want to satisfy your ramen fix, Junk Garage is definitely a place you want on your list as one of the most manliest and badass bowls around. Ramen Jiro is for pussies in comparison to Junk Garage. hahaha.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay enough about soup, fat and noodles.
The main reason I'm in Japan right now is to see shows and get nore video footage of the NMFT 3 bands. I had a pre-determined week off of work during the 1st week of August (due to OR shutdowns) so I decided to tack on an extra week of vacation prior to make a trip to Japan more worthwhile. UNFORTUNATELY, I'm in Japan for what seems like the sh*ttiest 2 weeks of shows in the history of rock music in Japan. Because of the big summer rock festivals Fuji Rock and Rock in Japan coming up this weekend and next, respectively it seems a lot of my favorite bands have decided to take a break. That and they probably want to enjoy the beach and summer weather. NATSUMEN invited me to go to Fuji Rock with them but I despise big music festivals especially in intensely hot and and humid weather. I just found out that uhnellys and Kominami Yasuha (congrats!!) are also playing at Fuji Rock but even NATSUMEN + uhnellys + deerhoof + Kominami Yasuha + Battles + Clammbon isn't enough to sway me since watching a performance at a big festival is barely a step above watching the same performance on youtube in terms of view and atmosphere. And at least I can choose to turn the air-conditioning on when I watch videos with my laptop on Youtube. Seeing a band play at a small live house is by far the best way to watch a live performance.
July 24 arrived in Tokyo in the evening. Didn't make it to Shimokitazawa ERA in time to watch Indigo la End and Happy!Mari (show started at 4pm. WTF?!) so I went to Club Que instead and saw Hoover's Ooover vs Noodles. I'm a sucker for female bands but I've never been a fan of the Noodles. A lot of my friends like them but to me they're about as generic an all-female garage-punk band can get. They've been together for 20 years now. Cripes! I at least give them props for making and playing music for so long. On the other hand, Hoover Oover is a band that makes incredibly catchy pop-punk songs and I've always wanted to see them perform at least once. On Sunday I got my chance and they didn't disappoint. All 4 members are great musicians but the highlight of their music is Masami's sweet-nasal voice with rapid-fire legato delivery
Some of my favorite female singers have a soft, "unappealing" nasal voice but utilize a legato technique to create an interesting flow: Eriko Hashimoto (Chatmonchy), Etsuko Yakushimaru (Soutaisei Riron), Makiko Hasegawa (Phenomenon). Well only the Chatmonchy clip has Ecchan flowing speedily in legato but trust me the other too use the same technique as well.
I forgot to bring my camera so here's my spy-cam footage of Hoover's Ooover taken with my iPhone:
Hoover's Ooover is a band I was interested in a few years ago but never had the chance to see live. Mainly because I tend to go to more underground shows and if they're playing there's usually a band I'd rather see more on the same night. But I'm pretty glad I got to see them on Sunday. They definitely kicked the Noodles collective arses (but yet again mad respect to Noodles for 20 years in the biz). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 25 Tickets to see Kowloon / Mouse on the Keys / toe @ O-west were long sold out but if I wanted to I could have gotten on the guest-list to watch the show for free. Unfortunately, I procrastinated on emailing Nakamura of Kowloon and never put myself on the guest list. I think the reason why is because I don't want to get into a situation where I owe big favors to bands who might guilt me into bringing them to Canada. =) Watching one of these bands in a single night is just the right amount of instrumental post-rock. But watching all 3 bands in the same night equates to instrumental meltdown. It would be like eating Junk Garage maze-soba for breakfast, lunch and dinner. ^%#@$ too much!!! So I can't say I was uber-disappointed that I missed watching this show, especially since I've seen all 3 bands play before. I did stop by O-west in case they had extra tickets at the door (no dice) but they were selling band merch outside so I picked up a new toe T-shirt and the concert shirt which came in XL (sweet! XL is pretty rare for T-shirts in Japan).
Instead of toe / MOTK / Kowloon I ended up going to Shimokita Daisy Bar to watch 昆虫キッズ.
edit: crap. gotta jet. will finish post later

DVLA Number Plate Falls Off And Reg Plate Thefts ReportedReg Plates Article
DVLA Number Plate Falls Off And Reg Plate Thefts Reported
Police patrolling the M6 north pulled over a pricey Lamborghini after it was spotted missing a NUMBERPLATE.
The pricey supercar - which can cost around £200,000 - was stopped in Staffordshire on Sunday.
It is not uncommon for number plates to be stolen from vehicles.
Criminals target cars that are similar to the car they are driving, in an attempt to avoid apprehension and identification when committing crimes.
If you ask someone who has had their plates stolen, they will soon tell you how costly, inconvenient and stressful it can be.
Police are asking community members to do all they can to secure their number plates and make them more difficult to remove. Police will continue to target and detect offenders, but they need your help.
If you notice your neighbour's registration plate is recently missing, tell them, and encourage them to report it to police immediately.
If your number plates are stolen you will firstly need to report the theft to your local police. You will need to contact Service Tasmania and pay to get new plates. You will also need to contact your insurance company.
You will have some explaining to do if you are pulled up by the police as it is also an offence to drive a car without plates affixed.
A stolen number plate is most likely being used on a car that is being driven by someone without a licence or is disqualified from driving, and is potentially an unsafe or dangerous driver. They are also actively avoiding police in order to commit a range of crimes including petrol stealing, car theft and burglaries.
Thefts are occurring during the day and night and are being stolen from cars parked in all areas including carparks, public streets and private driveways.
Park your car in a secure place, off the street, ideally with garaging and sensor lighting. Stay alert, report suspicious behaviour to police.
Kicking off on 6 February to coincide with 'Safer Internet Day', the campaign seeks to remind people that the only place to find DVLA services is on Gov.uk, and that any text or email asking for personal information is not from the DVLA and should be deleted without clicking.
Aimed at all motorists, the campaign's emphasis is on digital channels, as online is where phishing is most prevalent.
But the DVLA recognises that, given the broad age range of its audience, many motorists renew their car tax by phone. The organisation is therefore targeting traditional media too.
With social the medium of choice (via the DVLA's Twitter and Facebook channels), impactful imagery is being used to convey the message, built on a 'mask' visual depicting danger and crookery.
The campaign's central message is telling people what they should and should not expect when dealing with the DVLA online or on the phone. Activity encourages people to click through to a DVLA news story that gives details on staying safe online and on the phone. It provides links to sites including Get Safe Online and various government portals where they can report suspicious behaviour.
The timescale of the campaign is indefinite, with the DVLA planning to reinforce its messaging on a regular basis into the long term.
Measuring the campaign's impact will be a critical element in the push. The DVLA will track the number of views to its news story and is monitoring impressions and engagement on social media, its media coverage and calls and complaints made to its call centre.
Liz Rees, the DVLA's head of external comms, said: "We often receive messages from customers and colleagues about refund scams purporting to be from DVLA. More recently, people have been posting their documents online without realising that their personal details are clearly visible. It's important that motorists understand the risks of posting personal details online.
"We also want to remind them that we will not send any texts or emails asking for personal details and that the only place to find official DVLA services and information is Gov.uk."
When you are getting a valuation for your private registration number, think about the fact that certain types of number plate match will lead to much higher worth. These include plates that represent names, initials, models or makes of cars, or words.
The rarity and desirability of any combination of letters and numbers on a registration plate will essentially determine its value on the market. Bear in mind that there is only one version of every number plate in existence, so each is basically rare because it's unique. But its value requires more than that exclusivity, it must also be worth something to somebody else. People will pay more for a good representation of their name than they will for an average representation of their initials, for instance, so how well a number plate depicts the word, interest, name or initials in question can add or subtract £hundreds or even more from its price tag.

Journaling, meditation and pathways to generation issues
Recently while contemplating things that are going on in my life I have been watching various videos and reading some fairly technical books. The books have helped me to make intellectual sense of what is happening inside my body. The videos have set me thinking about other things.
Neither has given answers, to my why, but they have provided tools and insights which have set me on a course of looking deeper.
Lying here in the early hours the word trust came to me again. It's a word that I was exploring in my journal before I closed my eyes and in fact, it's a word that has been coming to me on a regular basis. I just haven't been able to find my way to what it wants to say to me.
Yes, I have been journaling, but what has come up has been more fear-based thoughts around trusting my body to heal. I know it can, but my old friend fear taps me on the shoulder and says 'are you sure?'' Yes, I am, but something has still niggled me. Like it niggles me about trusting that I will find love again after the Dickie Quick episode.
This morning I sat with pen poised and was writing about something which I thought was unrelated to trust when I found myself on a journey. I wrote a few things down and then let myself slip into a meditative state. During this state, the word Grandad came to me. Allowing whatever else to arrive, I was witnessing his life where there was a considerable lack of trust. His mother by all accounts had been unfaithful, she had children by other men, left and I think at some point he'd been put in a children's home.
Later when he married he carried this with him into his relationship, where he was soon to be disappointed when his wife gave all of their savings to her father. Again I believe he'd got himself into trouble financially and asked his daughter to bail him out. She did so without consultation; again I think not once but twice.
Imagine how this must have translated to his three daughters, one of which is my mum?
Mum married a man whom she thought was nothing like my Granddad. My dad was outgoing, handsome and a charmer. She fell deeply in love with him, little knowing that beneath his exterior was another damaged and fragmented soul. My dad and I say this with no malice was a gambler, smoker, drinker and womaniser… Although this didn't become evident until later life, mum had married a man she could not trust.
When I was born I carried with me the resonance of all of these people and in the simplicity of journaling and meditating I have been made aware of something that has never crossed my mind before in search of why.
We often think we know why or how we arrived at the life and body that we now inhabit, but the truth is that unless we switch off the noise and explore, we can never trace the pathways to the root of something.
Journaling by hand in a warm and safe environment where you can switch off and allow what needs to be said to come out is powerful. Find a space and time that suits you and just allow for a moment a word to come to you.
Set an intention that you want your journaling to explore the matter at hand. In my case, I wanted to explore the generational link to this word – trust.
Write five other words around it and then sit with it. One of these words will be the one that you will want to explore. Write and allow the words to come. It doesn't matter how you start or what you write, trust that what needs to come out will.
Once you have written and feel that there is nothing more to come, close your eyes and connect with some part of you. This might be your heart or your third eye. From out of nowhere a word, picture, a song will come to you. Just wait, do not try to force anything. Allow it to speak to you and just observe. In my example this morning it was Granddad and flashes of his life.
Journal again and explore
Once you come out of meditation, start your journaling again with the new information you have received. What happens is enlightening.
The generation link
For me, there was a definite generational link with trust. I wondered to what extent my cells have been damaged by this vibrational resonance. I say 'damaged' not in the context that I have been smacked around the head with a brick. More that I am curious about how these fragments from across generations could be so deeply embedded in my psyche. It's curious isn't?
We know from Masaru Emoto's water experiments that water responds to various stimuli and can change shape when introduced to both beauty and horror. If water can be so affected by its environment and 'conditioning', it makes sense that we too can, given how much water we have in our bodies.
Water is in every cell. Every cell, therefore, must carry, I believe a generational resonance. If that is the case then exploring our issues through another lens could be helpful in understanding where we find ourselves today.
When you have some understanding of why, then you have an opportunity to change, just like Emoto did with the resonance in the water cells. You can do this with journaling, meditation, being in nature, speaking to yourself with kindness and love, listening to beautiful music, connecting with friends and a whole myriad of feel-good things.
How does this speak to you?
Does this resonate with you? Is there something that you have been trying to get to the root of that could be a lightly held vibration from across time in your cells?
Put pen to paper and explore. Drift into meditation and allow.
I use journaling to not only unlock hidden pathways to me but to help me make sense of all sorts of things. Currently, I am journaling about my osteoporosis journey as this is the subject of a book that I am writing. Journaling supports me by helping me to pull together ideas such as this so that I can encourage others to find their (in this case) potential cause for dis-ease or ways to support healing pathways.
If you have a book that you want to write, please get in touch. Your story can be something you have already lived or one you are living. Either way, you will be able to write it with new eyes and understanding. Let's connect and explore.

By Simon Fischler
The UNQUENCHABLE anti-Semitism that spews from the mouth, pen and/or performances of Roger Waters is sometimes astounding.
Last month Waters performed in Belgium. During his concert he dazzled his audience dressed in a quasi Nazi uniform and adorned his stage with a giant, floating pig bearing the Star of David on it.
Sure Rog, you're no anti-Semite!
Now the man has continued his Himmler-like mission against the Jewish Nation and the Jewish Nation State by calling on the Rock and Roll world to boycott Israel.
Mr. Waters has chosen to do this right after more than 700 people were killed by the Egyptian Army in one weekend. But Roger isn't calling for a boycott of Egypt.
Nor is he calling for a boycott of Syria where the apartheid Alawite regime of Bashar Assad has been responsible for the death of over 100,000 Syrian citizens in two and a half years of civil war.
Mr. Waters is not calling for a boycott of the Hamas-led government of Gaza that preaches genocide by calling for the destruction of Israel, an 80 percent Jewish country!
Nor has Roger called to boycott Hamas for openly committing crimes against humanity by shooting rockets intentionally into Israeli civilian centers and by using its own Gazan population as human shields.
None of this bothers Roger Waters, cause the people committing these heinous crimes aren't Jews or the Jewish Nation!
It is plain and simple: Roger Waters has an addiction; he is addicted to hating Israel. He is bent on causing the Jewish Nation and the Jewish Nation State harm through lies and innuendo of the worst kind.
Roger Waters is so fixated on trying to cause harm to Israel that he is willing to overlook facts that prove clearly Israel is a state that stands for liberty, freedom and democracy! He ignores the fact that Israel's minorities (Israeli Arabs, Druze and Circassians) have greater freedoms than minorities in the United States or his own United Kingdom.
Waters overlooks the fact that Israeli Arabs can vote in all Israeli elections, are members of the Knesset, go to Israeli universities and are doctors, nurses and so on.
He forgets that the Druze of Israel, making up about 150,000 citizens are fervently pro-Israeli, serve in the Israel Defense Forces and have a very high representation in the Knesset. The Circassian Muslims also have the same love and dedication to Israel as the Druze.
Waters chooses to overlook Israel taking in wounded Syrian citizens daily and providing them emergency health care at the expense of Israeli citizens. These are citizens of an enemy country!
I ask the Rock and Roll world -- and the rest of the world for that matter -- to say ENOUGH to Roger Waters, Alice Walker, Stephen Hawkings and the rest of these so-called liberal intellectuals and celebrities committing the worst type of anti-Semitism for their own personal benefit!
Others should follow the example of super-model Bar Raphaeli who said to Roger, "Fine, make your boycott complete: stop using photographs of me in your concerts!"
You go, girl!

With approximately 400 elementary and high school districts across Montana participating in its self-funded and self-administered workers' compensation pool, in addition to 147 of the state's school districts in its self-insured property and liability pool, the Montana Schools Group Insurance Authority (MSGIA) sought a technology-based system to dramatically improve its outdated, disparate claims data capture, analytical and reporting tools.
When MSGIA turned to Origami Risk, a leading risk and insurance Software as a Service technology firm, they found a solution that delivered the robust automation and data management capabilities they required, setting the stage for even greater enhancements to their workflows. Working with Origami, which has a culture built around collaboration and client focus, MSGIA has automated workflows and critical policy and claim communication in ways that have vastly improved their underwriting capabilities, while also strengthening claims management, loss control and related member services.
At the same time, MSGIA provides real-time access to critical claim reporting tools and resources, and loss control information to member school districts throughout the state. Today, with the implementation of Origami's technology and ongoing collaboration with Origami's team of professionals, MSGIA is driving further innovation and continuous improvement across its risk operations. This enables MSGIA's risk management team and members to become more productive, efficient and effective.

Some friends of mine got married last night - it was a wonderful New Years Eve celebration! While loading their car this morning, it was stolen in Milwaukee with everything they had traveled with and received as gifts. What a sad way to start out a new chapter of their lives and the new year!
I'm sure it's a long shot, but if anyone local to Milwaukee spots a gray VW Jetta with IL plates, it could be theirs.
Update: Sounds like they have the only key fob, so once the car was turned off, it wouldn't be able to be started again.

Did you know that us human being are motivated by 3 things? Do you know what those 3 things are? I'm gonna tell you.
Do you get frustrated with yourself because you can't stop putting more on your plate than you can manage, or you manage it all but you feel completely burnt out. Let's put a stop to the dread you keep feeling about how busy and stressed you feel year after year? You need to understand the motivational triad.
Lisle and Goldhamer, and more recently my teacher Brooke Castillo, talk about something called The Motivational Triad. As biological beings we have been wired through the centuries to be motivated by 3 things: (1) Seek pleasure, (2) Avoid pain, and (3) Exert the least amount of effort.
This means for us busyaholics, the path of least effort, is to continue being busy. I know what you're thinking, "but being so busy doesn't feel good." Yes, but it is familiar. Anything that takes effort (think anything unfamiliar), if we're on cruise control, is not gonna happen naturally. We're tired of being busy, but our brains are familiar with and conditioned for, busyness because that's what we've trained it to do for years.
It's going to take effort and energy to create something different.
It's a habit now, and our brain is not going to want to expend that effort, it's busy conserving our energy remember? So we can't wait for our biological self to "want to."
We have to choose to exert effort and change that behavior.
I laugh when my mentors or I say, "hey it's not your fault..." your brain operates from these motivations-- because it's so true. You may know this, if you have read anything on new brain research.
"Cool, it's not my fault, now I can stop beating myself up and get to understanding how I can get less busy now."
Understand this, we are wired to do this. As a species. To survive. In today's world, for the most part, we don't need to stay alert for saber tooth tigers, eat food when we can get it, conserve our energy in case it's needed for an emergency. Brooke doesn't stop there though, she also teaches that in order to evolve we must change our motivation. And of course, this requires, yes, effort. As a peer of mine says….
If you want to change, you're going to have to work for it, because your default settings are not going to get you there.
Change takes effort. It requires us to proactively act differently than our auto-pilot wants to lead us, and so it requires awareness and choice.
When you begin to operate in awareness of the Motivational Triad, your biological pre-sets, you empower yourself to change, because you empower yourself to choose differently.
Can you see that if we continue to operate the way we always have, believing what we've always believed, not believing what we don't believe, all that is possible for us is to create more of the same? The same results we've created in our past. But, there is SO MUCH MORE!
What's between you and that "more" is choosing and effort.
I wish I could tell you it doesn't take work, but it does. But, here's the deal, the pay-off down the road of that effort is so huge because you begin to create a whole new experience of your life. Yes it takes work, and yes it takes time and, absolutely yes, I'm telling you the effort, the exploring, the practice is worth it!
Your path to a life without busyness does not lay in your past behaviors.
That's what got you there. Working hard and choosing differently and staying committed, eventually, a powerful and doable schedule will become no effort at all. But first, you have to practice it enough, for it to become habit.
My blog is filled with lots of tools and teachings designed to help you on this journey.

text: It's been years since I have had space AND light to make my art in. I am loving this cozy space so much this summer- light pours into the room all day and even with minimal furniture, it's where we tend to spend much of our time. The art wall has art from all of us here- me, Mike and the boys. It's my space, but I've learned that working from home and having kids means sharing a considerable amount of your limited space and supplies. Goals for the space: a round art table + stools and an easel. DOABLE!

Congruence Yoga Productions
So, here is a project that's been in development over the last 4 years and is now picking up true, pranayama steam.
As I've said before, I only aim to do work that brings benefit and beauty to this world, simultaneously supporting my nuclear family and my broader family which includes all that is (¡Les amo a todos!).
We cannot change the world without first changing our individual hearts and minds, and few things have been so effective to that end in my own life than being introduced to yoga by my soul sister Congruence Yoga. We want to share this with all who are ready (or at least yoga-curious) because we know first-hand how transformative yoga can be.
Together, she and I have embarked upon another practice (under the tutelage of director/dp/human Foster Addington): producing intentional, artful, and cinematic photos and videos that represent high quality yoga instruction.
We want to share this with the world by working with studios we respect to help them share their teaching through high-quality imagery, web development, and subscription channels.
If you are a teacher or studio that wants to know more about what we do and how we can work together, send me a message. Or, if you know a teacher or studio that might be interested (worldwide), send them a message.
Much love to my brother KillGXXD for the glorious tunes.
My name is Marcelo Asher Quarantotto.I WRITE WITH WORDS, PHOTOS, VIDEOS, WEBSITES AND MUSIC.
I am a father of three beautiful daughters and husband to the most gracious, saintly creature I've ever met. (You'll find pictures of them here from time to time.) I am also a multidisciplinary storyteller.

Kickass 27in 5k iMac stand | Axiom CNC
Like a lot of things, I had some crazy idea to create a new Monitor stand for my 2017 iMac. I did use my Axiom CNC for this but in all honesty you could pull this off with a bandsaw or scroll saw. This was also a chance for me to play around with a new designer tool called Affinity designer. For the longest time, I have been using Graphic which is a basic version of Illustrator but with Affinity designer I was able to do things like round corners with ease.
Now I know this is for a iMac but you can use the same kinda idea for any monitor.. or monitors as well as a tv tray or something alike. This was a fun project despite some of my hiccups. I might have another one coming soon! Make sure you're subscribed to my Youtube channel :)

The White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders lashed out at the press on Thursday while declining to directly answer whether she agreed with President Donald Trump's repeated use of the phrase "enemy of the people" to describe members of the media.
The New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger said he confronted Trump over the phrase last month in a meeting, citing it as an example of "inflammatory language that is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence.
Pressed by CNN's Jim Acosta, who has often clashed with the White House, to personally distance herself from the term given her role as a public liaison to the press, Sanders said the president has made his position known. She then went on to criticize Acosta and other outlets over an array of topics.

On February 28, 2018, the Supreme Court of California granted the petition of Emergent LLP client James Noel to review the appellate decision denying certification of his class action lawsuit against Rite Aid, which sold Noel and 20,000 other California consumers an inflatable "Ready Set Pool" using packaging that deceptively exaggerated the size of the pool. A copy of the petition, which includes photographs of the pool and packaging, is here.
The Supreme Court's decision on Noel's petition could affect numerous class actions brought under California's consumer protection laws. Rite Aid argued, and the appellate court agreed, that a class of pool purchasers could not be certified, because Noel had not shown that Rite Aid's records contained enough contact information for the court to personally notify each class member of the lawsuit.
This rationale would apply to every consumer class action and, Noel argued, would spell the end of consumer class actions in California. Large retailers and manufacturers often do not retain individualized data about the sales of their products, and if consumer class actions could be defeated by an absence of contact information, companies likely to be sued for deceptive advertising, defective products, or any other mass consumer harm could insulate themselves by purging their purchase records or anonymizing those records so they retained the demographic information companies use to target their advertising, but eliminated the identifying information that would permit a class action.
The parties will submit their briefs to the Court between March and May, and the Court will then set a date for argument, likely in 2019. Emergent partners Peter Roldan and Christopher Wimmer represent the late Noel, who passed away in 2016, and his widow.
Emergent LLP has an active appellate practice, representing parties in the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, California Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court of California, as well as amici curiae in the Supreme Court of the United States. To find out whether Emergent can handle your appeal, contact us.
