O. 71/87 p. 209 - 250, Public Record Office Proceedings of a General Court Martial held in the Camp at Rhode Island on Monday the 7th of September 1778, by virtue of Warrants from His Excellency Sir Henry Clinton, Knight of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath, General and Commander in Chief of all His Majesty's Forces within the Colonies, laying on the Atlantic Ocean, from Nova Scotia to West Florida inclusive, &ca &ca &ca. Dated at Head Quarters, in Newport, September the 2d 1778. Lieutenant Colonel John Campbell [22nd Regiment] President. Members Lieut. Col. Andrew Bruce [54th Regiment] Lieut. Col. Rawlins Hillman [22nd Regiment] Capt. Stephen Bromfield [43th Regiment] Capt. Thomas Coore [54th Regiment] Capt. Duncan Cameron [54th Regiment] Capt. John Bachop [54th Regiment] Capt.

Thomas Cornwall [not identified] Capt. Andrew Maxwell [not identified] Capt. Thomas Chapman [not identified] Captain Henry Barry, Deputy Judge Advocate Saturday September 12th 1778, The Court being assembled. Prisoner Hubertus Reimar, of the 22d Regiment and Captain Handfield's Company being brought before the Court, was charged with being guilty of Desertion. Interpreter Serjeant Cling of the 54th Regiment was sworn to duly Interpret all Evidences delivered by Foreigners, and explain to the Prisoner, who is a German, those delivered by the British ones against him. 1st Evidence Serjeant George Reason, of the same Regiment and Company with the Prisoner, being duly sworn deposes, that early on the Morning of the 14th of August, the Prisoner was absent, that on examining his Necessaries, three Shirts and two pair of Stockings were missing, and that the same day the Prisoner was brought to his Regiment by two Soldiers of the Anspach Corps, and adds, the Regiment was at that time encamped within the lines of Newport, as also, that till then, the Prisoner had always behaved himself well. 2d Evidence John William Brown, Grenadier in the Anspach Regiment of Voit, being duly sworn deposes, (the same being interpreted to the Court) that being Sentry on the outside of the Abattees, about ten o'Clock one night, he heard a noise in front of him, on which he Challenged, but receiving no reply fired, when the prisoner called out to him, and the other Soldier who was posted with him and desired them not to fire again, as he was coming in to them, that he then came up to them and said, he had lost his way, and appeared to be in liquor, but desired them to take him to the Regiment. 3rd Evidence John Free, private soldier in the same Regiment with the former Evidence being duly sworn, deposes, (the same being interpreted to the Court) in substance as the foregoing Evidence, with whom he was posted Sentry when the prisoner was taken by them. Defence The Prisoner Hubertus Reimar, being called to, and put on his Defence, says he was in Liquor when he went from his Tent, and had no design to Desert the Regiment. The Court having heard and considered the Evidence against the Prisoner Hubertus Reimar, as also his Defence is of Opinion, he is not Guilty of the Crime laid to his Charge and doth therefore Acquit him. John Campbell Lieut. Col. 22nd Regt. Henry Barry D. J. Advocate Confirmed HClinton. Notes Hubertus Reimar was a laborer born in 1749 in Friere (?) in Germany. He was one of some 2000 Germans recruited in 1776 to serve in British regiments (not to be confused with the 'Hessian' regiments, composed entirely of German soldiers). Reimar departed Germany in May of 1776 and arrived in America as part of a large reinforcement in October of that year. He served in Captain Edward Handfield's company. He was discharged after the war, and is one of very few of the German recruits to receive a pension through Chelsea Hospital. [WO 12; WO 120] Serjeant George Reason also served in Handfield's company. He was one of about 20 men of this company taken prisoner at the battle of Connecticut Farms on June 8, 1780. [WO 12]


text: Unlike many wedding photographers, who have a signature styling of their photos (e.g. black and white, vibrant natural colour, Instagram-y filters) I use a range of styles to suit clients' preferences. Perhaps the most popular finish at the moment is a rich, deep, desaturated colour, with 'crushed' blacks. This image is a good example of this style. The style you choose for your wedding photographs profoundly affects how your photos will feel and will also colour (literally and metaphorically) how you remember your day.

A Little Bit of MysteryThis will not make sense to all but a small handful of you out there (if that many).........but I am compelled to share this as a thank you to a certain someone.
The possibilities and potential that may lie here
make me very anxious to investigate it further than I already have. I appreciate the work done by my secret agent and I am sorry that the other half of her suggestion wasn't a possiblity this weekend. Secret Agent--it's been on my mind since we last discussed it and truthfully, it's all I can do not to take a quick ride in the car.........I'm not joking here.

Police arrest driver over fake ID papers after locking down City workers in London's Gherkin tower as they sent robot to invesigate suspicious car
- Armed police seal off streets in the heart of London's financial district
- 'Suspicious' Ford Focus outside cafe is examined by bomb disposal robot
- Workers inside the iconic building were pictured shut in stairwells during alert
- Police have declared the scene safe but arrested man over separate suspicions
Workers in London's famous 'Gherkin' building were shut into stairwells today when a suspicious car sparked a major security alert.
Streets around the iconic skyscraper, real name 30 St Mary Axe, were emptied and bomb disposal experts were drafted in to examine a suspicious Ford Focus.
A robot was used to examine the car, which was later declared safe, but a man was arrested on suspicious having false documents.
City of London Police tweeted at 11:53am: 'We are currently in attendance in St Mary Axe (EC3) following a report of a suspicious vehicle parked on the street.
'Road closures are currently in place in the surrounding area and people are advised to find different routes.'
The cordon was later lifted and police said the car had been found to be safe. A man was however arrested over a separate alleged offence.
A spokesman said: 'We can confirm all road closures in the area surrounding St Mary Axe (EC3) have been lifted and the vehicle has been deemed non-suspicious.
'The driver of the vehicle has been arrested for possession of false identity documents.'
The alert comes just days after an evacuation of Oxford Circus Underground station sparked panic in central London.
Shoppers ran in fear as teams of armed police were called in following reports of shooting which were thought to have been sparked by a fight in the tube station.

'It was no secret ..., but nothing changed ...'
Jordan Knew of Sexual Assaults, and for Years
Number of accusers as of, 3 August 2018, exceed 100
Jordan using congressional staff to run background checks on accusers
Trump, Ryan and McConnell,
pull back from their blanket declarations of Jordan's innocence
Sordid details are appalling,
13 July 2018 AP
Jordan's accusers have parents, friends and relatives, who were told about the sexual assaults and their conversations with assistant coach Jordan at the time as well as other
written records, such as,
text messages recorded and enshrined on their ubiquitous cell phones, the messages that never go away.
Jordan resignation, inevitable
Jordan claims that the allegations against him are motivated politically and are being made because his detractors want to stand in the way of him gaining a leadership position within Congress, he has stated incredulously that he is under consideration for Speaker of the House of Representatives when a beleaguered Paul Ryan surrenders the gavel after the autumn elections. As allegations take on a sinister tint, Jordan's re-election is by no means assured.
In a word, Jordan wants us to believe that this entire affair, in substance and timing, came about because there is a conspiracy directed towards him. It follows therefore that Jim Jordan claims that he is also a victim of the sexual assault allegations.
This sets the stage so that when Jordan is forced to resign inevitably, it will not be because he turned a blind eye to sexual assault when he was a coach, but like Pruitt, he was forced to resign because of the relentless pressure put upon him and his family by an all too anti-Trump and anti-white-nationalist agenda 'fake' press.
Perhaps, Jordan ought to consider that demeaning the seriousness of the allegations in any way also demeans the victims, and that is a poor defensive as well as a baseless offensive posture to assume and maintain over the course of what will be a long and detailed investigation into the facts.
It is noted however that this is the same Jim Jordan who asserted on several cable news programs that Trump had never lied to him, personally. Trump has lied to the American people repeatedly, Jim Jordan is a representative of some of the people that Trump has lied to, and yet Trump, Jordan claims, has never lied to him, posing an inexplicable disconnect between reality and the truth. Notwithstanding that a member of the Christian-right could so easily ignore Matthew 25:40 (whatsoever you do ...), the willingness to construct and advance such a false argument is proof positive that critical thinking, the modern nomenclature for the study of logic, is a vital part of a classical education that must remain an essential element of curricula at every level.
Before the number of accusers had grown to more than 100, Trump had said that he believed Jordan's protestations that at no time was he aware or ever informed about the alleged sexual assaults by the team doctor. Trump,,the one who has never lied to Jordan, also maintains he knew nothing about the nothing meeting in Trump Tower with the Russians in July 2016 and, the payment to the Playboy model was without his direct knowledge or input. As the number of accusers have grown, Trump, Ryan and McConnell have pulled back from their blanket pronouncements of Jordan's innocence.
Inexplicably, for an innocent man, Jordan has been using his congressional staff to run background checks on his accusers. Using taxpayer money to attack taxpayers. And, Jordan has recently declared that one of his accusers is a criminal. A recent statement by another coach from Ohio State that Jordan asked to make a statement in his behalf, perhaps put it best, 'I am willing to speak on Jordan's behalf, but when he has to testify under oath in a court of law, he is on his own.'
Jordan will shortly be given the opportunity to claim under oath that he heard nothing, saw nothing, and knew nothing about the lurid behavior in Larkins Hall. Disinformation before the press is regrettable and demeans the body politic when perpetrated by an elected official, but if Jordan maintains the lie under oath, he commits perjury.
The case against Jordan may well come down to whom you believe, his accusers and their contemporaneous written records or the protestations of avid Trump supporter.
Jordan does not state that he did not hear the locker room chatter, Jordan simply maintains that locker room talk about the alleged sexual assaults in his presence does not constitute a report to him concerning the alleged sexual assaults. Under cross examination, unless it is before a committee convened by Paul Ryan, Gowdy or Nunes, Jordan will find that politics will not triumph over the truth and facts. Jordan will be called to testify under oath, and before that he must remember that lying to the FBI and other police agencies is a crime.
There are two glaringly obvious problems with Jordan's current assertions about the case against him.
First, there are a growing number witnesses (more than 100 at the time of this posting) several of whom state that they brought the sexual assault allegations to Jordan's attention on more than one occasion. And second, several of the witnesses that have come forward and obtained legal representation, have not only made sworn statements to authorities, but have also submitted to lie-detector tests at the request of their legal representation. Others will follow in due course.
Although lie-detector evidence is not admissible in a court of law, often legal representatives request or encourage their prospective clients to voluntarily avail themselves to the test. Especially, when the person they are accusing can get the President of the United States, who knows nothing of the case, to so publicly declare Jordan faultless, blameless and wholly without liability.
The lie-detector test gives legal representation several insights into their prospective clients. Not the least of which is the veracity of their claims, but also their ability to tell their story under stressful circumstances, such as when being examined by a judge, Grand Jury, or cross examined in a court of law.
And, of course, Jordan's accusers have parents, friends and relatives who were told about the sexual assaults and their conversations with assistant coach Jordan at the time as well as their
written records, such as, text messages recorded and enshrined on their ubiquitous cell phones.
Jordan must realize surely that the alleged sexual impropriety occurred over a period of some twenty years and there are potentially hundreds of victims, even during the eight-year period that Jordan was an assistant coach.
Jordan's assertion that although there is multiple witness evidence that he heard the allegations of sexual assault spoken about in the intimate atmosphere of the university athletic locker room, Jordan maintains that locker room talk does not constitute a report
de jure
of the allegations to him as an assistant coach, is nevertheless an admission that Jordan was made aware of the allegations.
The idea as advanced by Jordan that in the locker room he was not a paid employee of The Ohio State University with all the rules and regulations that govern his relations with and responsibilities to students and athletes of that university, but was just one of the lads, illustrates a frighteningly ignorant understanding of American Jurisprudence and administrative regulations on the part of a soon-to-be former member of the United States federal legislature.
The evidence is that Jordan was made aware of the allegations of sexual misconduct on multiple occasions and he did nothing about it.

3/4 Shots
Shooting 3/4s
This is a helpful angle to master, it's really good in public places if you are planning to shoot your coffee, or meal in restaurants and cafes. Usually the location background is a natural part of the image, unlike shooting in your home and seeing the radiator or appliances or other distractions in the background.
It's the go to shot if you want to show a bit of the side of something and the top, like a decorated cake with a slice removed, or a pot of stew, you can see the depth and interior but also what the top looks like. It's in between an overhead and a head on shot.
The problem with this shot is getting the angle just right, tall glasses or bottles can distort, having large items closer to the lens may be out of focus and look out of proportion to the rest of the image and detract from the main subject or image story.
When food is piled high like this mound of spaghetti or this pyramid of strawberries, shooting overhead is not going to give you the full story, you won't see the depth or fullness of each dish, nor would you get a good idea of pastry detail in the strawberry tart. Head on wouldn't work for the spaghetti because you'd mainly see the black side of the pan and whilst the strawberries could be head on it would be much harder to incorporate the second tart plus the balsamic they look far more inviting, sumptuous and accessible from this angle.

Cadillac XTS - More Safety Features
One last post of videos from Cadillac highlighting features on the new XTS to keep you and yours safe. First off - Automatic braking. This feature scans the road ahead and will slow the XTS if you don't to avoid a collision:
Next up, if you were wondering what testing conditions Cadillac used for their radar-based front collision avoidance - we have this video that acknowledges how the driving environment can make it hard for a system like this to work reliably and what Cadillac did to stress test their technology:
Lastly, we have a demonstration of how the radar systems combined with conventional ultrasonic parking sensors allows the XTS to avoid playing real-world bumper cars:

Frizzy hair - Hair Care
When you go our the air moisture is absorbed into the hair without you knowing it. Due to the absorbtion of moisture in the hair, hair looks dry and lacks lusture. It is very difficult to control such type of hairs. This type of problem occurs when rough treatment is given to the hairs. This may also occur due to tight hair bands.
You could get rid of this by doing certain steps. Allow the lather of the shampoo to get into roots of the hairs when you wast your hairs. If you use gels apply it when the hair is wet for best results. If you are going to use conditioners use it from the mid to the end of the hairs or you could use a leave-in conditionar.

With 2013 declared the driest year on record in California, water supply and drought top last year's list of environmental issues affecting Santa Cruz County. Below I list some of the milestones of environmental change for 2013:
- A dwindling number of great white sharks off the coast of California become official candidates for protection under the state's Endangered Species Act. The state will conduct a one-year study to see if this shark population qualifies for state protection.
- Single-use plastic bag ban goes into effect in Santa Cruz and Capitola, following earlier bans by the city of Watsonville and Santa Cruz County
- A federal court rules that the Bureau of Land Management violated the law when it failed to consider the environmental impacts of fracking before auctioning off some 2,500 acres in Monterey County to oil companies.
- Local videographers Lois Robin and Ed Schehl release their film "Liquid Assets: Protecting Our Creeks, Streams and Rivers," featuring local watershed experts (vimeo.com/64674879).
- Some 300 Santa Cruz protesters joined approximately 2 million worldwide in the March Against Monsanto, the biotechnology corporation driving the increase in crops with genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
- City of Santa Cruz releases the desal project Draft Environmental Impact Report for public review.
- Center for Biological Diversity files suit over a new management plan for Big Basin State Park, requesting State Parks to better protect the marbled murrelet, an endangered seabird that nests in old-growth redwoods.
- Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District restores bus service to Big Basin State Park, after a substantial showing of public support.
- The federal government announces that it will conduct a major analysis of the risks of fracking on California's public lands.
- The Rim Fire burns approximately 280 square miles in the Sierra, threatening Hetch Hetchy reservoir and burning portions of Yosemite National Park.
- Save the Redwoods League hosts a redwood and climate symposium in Berkeley entitled, "Past, Present and Future of Redwoods." New research shows that old-growth redwoods sequester more carbon from the atmosphere than any other living thing.
- Santa Cruz City Council puts desalination on hold due to public pressure to consider alternatives.
- Gov. Jerry Brown signs AB 904 -- a controversial state forestry bill -- into law, but only after local environmental groups successfully lobbied key state lawmakers to exclude Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, San Mateo and Marin counties from the bill. The new law relaxes timber harvest rules and reduces public review for non-industrial timber harvesting in less populated parts of the state.
- The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors approves a moratorium on fracking as Supervisor John Leopold seeks a permanent amendment to the county's general plan to ban the practice.
- The 27th Annual San Lorenzo River and Road Cleanup draws a crowd of active volunteers.
- Water level at the city of Santa Cruz reservoir Loch Lomond drops to a 16-year low.
- California legalizes industrial hemp; federal law still prohibits hemp production
- More than 400 public comments on the desal draft EIR demonstrate wide opposition to the project.
- Santa Cruz City Council votes to form a 14-member advisory panel to examine alternatives to desal and make recommendations for managing a water supply impacted by severe drought and mandated fish habitat restoration.
- Typhoon Haiyan, the largest tropical cyclone ever recorded, hits the Philippines, killing approximately 10,000 people and causing massive destruction.
- Local water agencies meet to discuss the possibility of using the old Hansen Quarry in Scotts Valley as a water recharge site for regional groundwater aquifers.
- CalFire suspends backyard brush burning throughout the county, due to wildfire risk.

Global stressors, such as ocean acidification, constitute a rapidly emerging and significant problem for marine organisms, ecosystem functioning and services. The coastal ecosystems of the Humboldt Current System (HCS) off Chile harbour a broad physical–chemical latitudinal and temporal gradient with considerable patchiness in local oceanographic conditions. This heterogeneity may, in turn, modulate the specific tolerances of organisms to climate stress in species with populations distributed along this environmental gradient. Negative response ratios are observed in species models (mussels, gastropods and planktonic copepods) exposed to changes in the partial pressure of CO2 () far from the average and extreme levels experienced in their native habitats. This variability in response between populations reveals the potential role of local adaptation and/or adaptive phenotypic plasticity in increasing resilience of species to environmental change. The growing use of standard ocean acidification scenarios and treatment levels in experimental protocols brings with it a danger that inter-population differences are confounded by the varying environmental conditions naturally experienced by different populations. Here, we propose the use of a simple index taking into account the natural variability, for a better interpretation of the potential consequences of ocean acidification on species inhabiting variable coastal ecosystems. Using scenarios that take into account the natural variability will allow understanding of the limits to plasticity across organismal traits, populations and species.

Cut, Make, and Trim
By Valerie Wilson
Ulster has long been known for its textile industries based on the manufacture, and decoration of, cotton and linen. This blog will look at the associated garment making industry in Ulster and the relationship between outworkers and agents.
From the mid-1800s until the late 1900s, the stitching industries of Belfast, Ballymena, mid –Ulster and Derry/Londonderry played a major role in the social and economic life of the north of Ireland. The garment industry employed tens of thousands, mostly women, making shirts, collars, aprons, blouses and underwear for the local and global markets. By the 1850s shirt factories in Derry and the surrounding district were producing up to 250,000 shirts per year (1).
Girls at school in Ireland had, since the 1830s, received instruction in a wide range of needlework techniques, including lace making, crochet, knitting and dressmaking. The National School Board for Education in Ireland published their own textbooks and trained teachers for this curriculum. As traditional skills such as hand spinning of cotton or flax were increasingly replaced by mechanised processes, this education equipped young women for potential employment in the garment and embroidery industries. The School Board also embraced new technology by purchasing hundreds of hand cranked sewing machines for distribution to schools throughout Ireland (2).
Outwork supported the stitching industries through a network of highly skilled dressmakers and embroiderers, working to a number of agents, who in turn supplied finished goods to warehouses and retailers. It was common for shirt manufacturers to supply sewing machines for home use by their outworkers. The system of working became commonly known as 'cut, make and trim', with the agents providing bundles of pre- cut sections to be embroidered or made up into garments. In 1911 an embroiderer working in her own home could earn 4shillings and sixpence for embroidering monograms on four dozen handkerchiefs. This wage was comparable with that of a farm labourer at the time and the working conditions at home, although sometimes basic, were preferable to conditions in the damp and noisy linen mills (3).
In the factories, men were generally responsible for the cutting out of garment sections, to be sewn up in batches of 12 by female stitchers. Use of an electrically-driven band cutter meant that one operative could cut through multiple layers of fabric, up to seventy, at one time. Before production moved entirely into cities or towns the relationship between agents and outworkers prospered, particularly with regard to the finer work on blouses, christening robes, and handkerchiefs. Agents for lace making and embroidery could be found in almost every town and village in Ulster and by the early 1900s The Belfast School of Art was producing a steady stream of designers trained for work in the textiles industry (4). Some factories adopted a dual approach for a while, employing both outworkers and site-based workers until the growth of the ready- to- wear market made it more economic to centralise production.
From the late 1800s, up until the 1920s, white shirts made in Derry dominated the European market. In 1912 Derry-based factories exported twenty million collars annually (5). The Tillie factory had the largest concentration of installed sewing machines in the world, meriting a mention in Das Kapital by Karl Marx. Shirt making in Derry and the North West provide plentiful employment for women and the products were often marketed as "Derry made by Derry maids".
Garment manufacture in Ulster received a much-needed boost during WW2 by producing shirts, uniforms, aprons and overalls under the British government's Utility Clothing Scheme. The industry slumped after the 1950s however as technology evolved and factories adopted American–led working practices. Glenaden, one of the last of the large 44 shirt factories that once defined the city of Derry, closed in 2008. Today, Smyth & Gibson are the only remaining shirt factory in the city, hand- cutting in traditional style, producing shirts for the high-end market in menswear.
Initiatives such Linen Biennale NI 2018 however offer a glimmer of hope for the future, encouraging a rethink of textile design – with fashions based on ethical, sustainable and innovative uses of familiar fabrics, allied to traditional cutting and piecing skills.

Graphic design and journalism students create iPad edition of university newspaper
on Thursday,April 08,2010 17:04
On the heels of the release of Apple's iPad, students from Abilene Christian University (ACU) have announced the creation of the first-ever school newspaper that can be read on the device.
Over the past 70 days, student journalists, programmers and designers have been collaborating to create an edition of the university's paper, The Optimist, for release on the iPad. Administrators from the school's journalism and mass communication departments partnered to launch the project immediately after Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the device nine weeks ago.
Students and faculty from the university's journalism, graphic design and information technology departments then created the Mobile Media Task Force to develop a digital publication platform for The Optimist.
Colter Hettich, a graphic design student at ACU and editor of the newspaper, said those who worked on the project "had to think about how to tell stories differently," and admitted that "it took a while to figure out where we would configure our images, photos and even cutlines."
This is not the first time the newspaper has explored the possibilities of mobile media, as The Optimist is already available in iPhone and iPod Touch formats.

You've Got This.
According to Ellyn Satter, a great role model of mine who just *gets it* when it comes to feeding, the parent is responsible for what, when and where the meals are being served and the child is responsible for deciding how much, if any, they want to eat. So, with this all being said, the parent's' job is done when they plan a meal, buy the food, prep it and serve it. Done! [Insert sigh of relief here.] But sometimes when a parent is following this method, when their job is done, there's no sense of relief. Because the rest is out of their control. Parents are expected to step back and let go and let their children take over. As a former picky eater myself, YES! That's exactly what they need to do! But as an adult who understands judgment from other adults, of course I can see how that would be difficult. Other parents who are unfamiliar with Satter's philosophy might question why the parent isn't making their child eat or not punishing them for not eating. Maybe they make comments of their own or compare their children's eating habits. All of these things make it difficult to "step back and let go." But you know what? The fact that you've done the research, found the method that has the highest success rate and stuck to it shows that you will find success of your own. Whatever that may mean, and however long that may take for you and yours. [Now insert that sigh of relief.] You've got this.

Effulgence notePosted: February 7, 2017 Filed under: Color Burst, Effulgence | Tags: color burst, Penny Black stamps, WOW embossing powders 13 Comments
When I was making my pink and gold love card last week I had two panels on the go. I created both using the emboss resist method along with colorburst powders. I didn't do too much blending on this one so the patterns the powders made after I'd spritzed them remain, especially on the left hand side of the panel.
I embossed the 'Effulgence' stamp on hot pressed watercolour paper in clear powder then sprinkled ultramarine and violet colorburst powders over the panel. I spritzed the panel from above and watched the colour move before adding any more powder or water.
I wanted the area around the flowers to be completely covered in paint so I blended some areas with a paintbrush. Around the edges I left it abstract. The panel was very tall and thin so I ended up with a tall thin card finished with a sentiment popped up over the flower stems.

Lovely NeighbourhoodPosted: February 1, 2017 Filed under: Color Burst, Neighborhood love | Tags: color burst, Fabriano Watercolour Paper, Penny Black creative dies, Penny Black stamps 2 Comments
These cute little dies are part of a set called Neighborhood love; I love the little house and building dies Penny Black has brought out even though they challenge my fear of the fiddly factor. I started this card by positioning a frisket film circle mask on a piece of watercolour paper. I sprinkled ultramarine blue powder and a tiny bit of merlot over the panel and spritzed it lightly from above. I spritzed only until I could see some patterns appearing but stopped before all the spots of colour started joining together. I used a heat tool to dry it, pointing the tool down at the panel not from the side to reduce the chance of the wet paint moving across the panel. It reminds me of a mosaic.
I painted another small piece of watercolour paper with merlot colorburst powder then die cut the buildings from the piece and attached them across the bottom of the panel.
I removed the mask then wanted to hand letter a sentiment inside the moon; I ended up not being game and chose this sweet sentiment from the 'forever & always' set.

Powdered snowflakesPosted: January 20, 2017 Filed under: All is Bright, Color Burst, Soft Grace | Tags: color burst, Penny Black stamps 19 Comments
The keyword for the January challenge over at CAS watercolour is snowflake and there are a few days left to participate. I have very simple looking cards to share but they are not quite so simple to make. There is a bit of trial and error involved in order to avoid a colourful mess. To create these two little cards I used what I like to call the 'water stamping technique'. I stamped with only water then lightly sprinkled colorburst powder over the water stamped image. I left it alone to dry then shook off any extra powder that hadn't been activated by the water.
The problem comes when you have too little or too much water. Too little gives you an incomplete image, too much and you get a mess! I applied water to my stamp with a paint brush rather than a spritzer and stamped on watercolour paper. It's a fun technique to try and won't really deplete your supply of materials too much!

Limberlost cardPosted: July 8, 2016 Filed under: Butterfly trio, Color Burst, Time, Wondrous | Tags: color burst, Penny Black stamps, Ranger Distress stains 28 Comments
Earlier in the week I posted my art journal page inspired by 'A Girl of the Limberlost'. After completing the page I wanted to create a card with a similar feel. When I created my first book inspired journal page (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) I created the card first then expanded the scene into a double page. This time I am working the other way round.
I created the butterflies the same way as shown on the video but directly on the watercolour panel. I used gold embossing powder and changed the colour palette for the wings. I stamped the butterflies again on label paper and cut them out to make masks to protect the painted butterflies while I stamped and coloured the background foliage. This panel was my colouring for day#3 of Kathy Racoosin's 30 day colouring challenge.
I used the large leafy outline stamp, Wondrous, inked with forest moss distress stain to fill the background with leaves then painted forest moss stain in and around the leaves. I painted extra layers around the edges of the butterflies to lift them a little. When that all dried I stamped on of the new 'time' stamps and spritzed it so it would bleed into the background. To finish the background I splattered some dark brown stain and some water.
The panel was already quite large so I decided not to mat it in a co-ordinating colour. Instead I chose to string some beads on a gold thread and attach that down the side of the card. Thank you for all your generous comments this week. I am thrilled you enjoy what I share here and always love to hear from you. I was very interested to read that several of you enjoyed 'A Girl of the Limberlost" as much as I did.

Tern Builds Consumer Interest For Cargo Node on Kickstarter
TAIPEI, Taiwan – Tern and Xtracycle design partnered this fall to successfully crowdfund a full-sized folding cargo-bike on Kickstarter. Their project, the Cargo Node, raised over 140,000 euro from supporters across three continents. "The campaign proved that consumers around the world see the potential of folding cargo-bikes," says Josh Hon, founder and Team Captain of Tern.
"In high-density cities, the value of cargo-bikes multiplies," says Xtracycle founder Ross Evans. "Cargo-bikes are optimal for medium-distance errands and they let you cut through traffic. Unfortunately, in dense cities, space is at a premium, and cargo-bikes are big. The Cargo Node solves this problem by offering the ride quality and carrying capacity of a cargo-bike, while folding to 1/3rd of its total volume in 10 seconds."
Niche product?
Josh Hon, "In person, it's an amazing bike that deftly solves the problem it was designed for. On paper though, a folding cargo-bike sounds like a niche product. This was our original challenge when we first presented the concept to our global distributors. While Tern's partners around the world were impressed with the bike, as an unproven category, the Cargo Node would require a leap of faith from dealers and distributors."
Remove risk for dealers and distributors
Hon continues: "Traditional distribution models force distributors and dealers to assume significant risk in the sales-cycle of bicycles. We realized Kickstarter could help us remove risk for dealers and distributors. Over the course of the one-month campaign more than 20,000 people visited the Cargo Node Kickstarter page. The campaign reached over 100,000 potential customers through social media and received support from 168 backers in seven different countries."
Using these statistics, Tern will build confidence with its distributor and dealer network and prove the potential global consumer demand for the product. Click here for the Kickstarter campaign: https://goo.gl/d2mhKl

AIRPICK can sort an extremely wide range of products at a low investment level.
AIRPICK offers:
The e-commerce revolution offers huge growth potential. However, this also means that your warehouse can reach its limits much sooner than expected. E-commerce and omni-channel warehouses face increasing pressure to tackle rising operational costs. These arise from increasing customer requirements, such as the demand for fast order delivery. In addition, increasing storage requirements, expanding SKU ranges (stock keeping units) and dealing with variable order sizes can be serious challenges, as well as a lack of available workforce.
To keep up with an exponentially growing market, scalable solutions are vital. As part of our next generation of scalable solutions – evolutions – Vanderlande offers FASTPICK, which seamlessly integrates innovative systems, intelligent software and life-cycle services.
FASTPICK is a goods-to-person order fulfilment system that uses the advanced ADAPTO shuttles for product storage and retrieval for day-to-day operations. To handle short-term peaks in a cost-efficient way, highly efficient trolley picking is used to complement the goods-to-person system.
It offers:
Goods receiving is the basis for all other warehouse activities. It is important to receive products correctly in order to handle them appropriately for put-away, storage, order picking or shipping. After unloading, Vanderlande's VISION warehouse management system drives the identification, checking and registration of products. The functionality includes handling of returns, unexpected goods and repacking. Goods are directed to storage, order picking or directly for shipping through a cross-docking process.
Depending on product velocity and specific characteristics, goods can be stored either on pallets or trays, and in cartons or totes. They can be automatically directed for storage or order picking, minimising manual handling and providing speed and efficiency in replenishment and supply.
A number of companies, including La Halle – Vivarte, Onninen and Argos have already trusted Vanderlande to deliver automated goods receiving solutions.
In addition to faster and more efficient loading and unloading, the telescopic belt conveyor vastly improves ergonomic working conditions for operators. The extendable variation minimises the need for operators to carry products manually and places drop-off points at their side on demand by a simple joystick movement.
Vanderlande has implemented telescopic belt conveyors (extendables) at Argos, Casaventa, NG2 and VF Europe.
It facilitates the efficient and ergonomic repacking/receiving of items (from cartons) into totes. In addition, it offers various levels of automation (for higher productivity levels) and receiving into single and multi-compartment totes.
Each variant of the RECEIVE@EASE workstation is geared towards specific productivity and functional process requirements. They have been designed in line with the ergonomics of the PICK@EASE range with the support of Dutch research institute TNO, and implemented for a number of customers, including Onninen. The benefits of RECEIVE@EASE include:
Automated cross-docking is especially beneficial for fresh products to ensure product quality. Vanderlande has implemented automated cross-docking systems for food retailers, such as E.Leclerc.
The system is especially useful for push flows to create a fast fashion model when handling apparel and footwear. Automated cross-docking is also gaining popularity for dealing with high-tech products and electronics to achieve a short time-to-market window.
Vanderlande's cross-docking system, based on automated sortation and VISION software, has a wide range of benefits, including:
Warehouse operations are coming under increasing pressure due to labour scarcity, expensive floor space and higher customer demands for delivery response times and accuracy.
Vanderlande recognises the important role played by automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) in meeting the tough demands of any logistics operation. The company's solutions help to maximise efficiency and productivity in distribution centres and make optimal use of floor space.
Vanderlande's complete range of AS/RS includes miniloads, shuttles and load-handling devices that integrate seamlessly into existing operations. These systems can handle different types of products, such as pallets, totes, trays, cartons and even car tyres. The company's experience in logistics and material handling is an invaluable resource when deciding on the most appropriate solution for individual requirements.
The AS/RS have been implemented in a wide range of industries for more than 300 well-known companies, including Van Den Ban, Audi and Kaufland.
Through multidirectional movement and sequencing, ADAPTO delivers goods in the appropriate order to the correct picking station. Therefore, the order fulfilment is fast and accurate. This facilitates same-day deliveries, which is ideal for the e-commerce market.
ADAPTO requires a limited initial investment. As and when a DC needs to change in the future, its adaptive and scalable configuration makes it possible to expand on a 'step-by-step' basis. Additional aisles can be added while the system is operational. If order volumes grow, more shuttles can be deployed to cope with extra demand.
In addition, storage capacity and throughput can be scaled independently, which helps you to keep any future investments in line with your individual requirements. The modular design makes optimal use of all existing space within your DC, regardless of shape or size.
This system can achieve extremely high throughput rates, and is especially suitable for the highest capacity goods-to-man order picking and consolidation processes. This is due to its ability to access all goods quickly and deliver them when required, which also helps to improve operator efficiency.
The shuttle system is a cost-effective solution for short-term storage of order totes. Store-friendly delivery is facilitated by the automatic presentation of totes/cartons in the required sequence for stacking on pallets or roll cages. The result is fast, efficient order consolidation with minimum manual labour requirements.
The QUICKSTORE HDS has been implemented in a wide range of industries, such as parts and components, food retail and e-commerce. A number of companies have already installed this particular system, including Zalando, Edeka, Onninen and Tesco.
The company offers a range of standard miniloads and load-handling solutions, including: single or double-deep storage; single or double mast; single, double or quadruple shuttles; and load-handling devices based on belts, telescope or vacuum telescope.
Vanderlande's BARRACUDA is a highly reliable load-handling device for multi-deep products in post-beam racking. It handles cartons, totes and trays of variable dimensions in a form-locked, positive way, which guarantees maximum availability.
Selecting the appropriate miniload AS/RS depends on the storage capacity and required throughput. Vanderlande's miniloads have been implemented in a wide range of industries, such as parts and components, automotive, food, fashion and non-food. More than 1,000 miniloads have already been installed for companies, including Tommy Hilfiger, Herma and GAME Stores.These solutions offer a range of benefits, including:
By sorting pallets in automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), or pallet high-bay storage, a reduction in handling can be achieved. Optimum use of available floor space is also a benefit. Various types of (semi) AS/RS solutions can be integrated for (temporary) storage of raw materials or (semi) finished products.
Traditionally pallets are stored in racks, flow racks or block stacking and picked by forklift trucks. Automated pallet-picking systems can deliver significant benefits by ensuring constant capacity and careful product handling.
When combined with pallet conveyors and sortation systems, this can provide a fully automated pallet-picking process. Vanderlande has already implemented these systems with Argos, Colombini, Arrow Electronics, Edeka and Tchibo.
The MICROSHUTTLE is an automated storage and retrieval system and part of Vanderlande's QUICKSTORE range of miniloads, shuttles and load-handling devices. The shuttles are not dedicated to one storage level, but can move between different levels in the racking via a lift. They make use of capacitors – ensuring they can operate autonomously, without the need for power rails in the aisles – and utilise wireless communication.
Scalability and flexibility
Each MICROSHUTTLE system can grow with an inpidual business and match the required throughput. For example, a system with 12 levels can start with only two shuttles, keeping the initial investment low. As throughput requirements increase, shuttles can be added inpidually until the maximum lift capacity is reached.
Cost effective and energy efficient
During the development of the QUICKSTORE MICROSHUTTLE, much attention was paid to minimising weight, with the design geared towards a lightweight, energy efficient and cost-effective system. The optimum combination of motor performance, acceleration and speed ensures energy efficiency.
Order picking – also known as order fulfilment – is the process of retrieving products from storage in order to meet a specific customer demand. Processing orders rapidly and accurately has a direct impact on customer satisfaction.
Selecting the best order-picking solution depends on the requirements of inpidual operations and products. Vanderlande's experience and expertise in designing and implementing these systems takes into consideration such criteria as volume and item velocity.
These integrated order-picking systems ensure each product is picked via the most suitable method. Attention will also be given to whether they will handle inpidual items, full cases or pallets. Vanderlande has already supplied these systems to companies such as Amazon, Arrow Electronics and Nike.
At the heart of the CPS is the PICK@EASE ergonomic order-picking workstation. This innovative workstation enables operators to achieve a consistently high order-picking performance – up to 1,000 order lines per operator per hour – over a prolonged period. This is also achieved without risk of any work-related injuries.
CPS takes advantage of the QUICKSTORE family of automated storage and retrieval systems. These miniloads and shuttle systems automatically store and retrieve product totes, and make optimal use of available floor space.
Vanderlande's goods-to-man order-picking systems are supported by the VISION warehouse management system, which ensures the effective handling of the entire warehousing process. Companies, such as PLUS Retail, Onninen and TVH, have already installed Vanderlande's CPS solutions.
Zone picking is a man-to-goods order-picking concept that can be used for a wide range of applications. Vanderlande's zone-picking system (ZPS) provides a reliable, accurate and structured process, with short order throughput times.
The picking area is pided into inpidual pick zones, and operators assigned there will only pick items within that zone. Products in a zone can be stored in flow racks or shelving.
Once picking in a zone is complete, the order tote or carton travels via a conveyor to the next zone (pick and pass). This system reduces walking distances during picking and eliminates crowded picking aisles during peak hours. It is highly efficient, owing to the way in which operators can pick directly into shipping cartons or totes (pick and pack).
Vanderlande has a broad experience of designing and implementing ZPS, which can be supported by a number of methods within the VISION warehouse management system (WMS). These include, paper based, RF terminals, Pick-to-Light and Pick-by-Voice. Other WMS functions related to zone picking are slotting, replenishment strategies, order planning and release, and integrated checking.
Vanderlande's picking systems have already been implemented at many companies, including DA Retail, Rossmann and Fabory.
Vanderlande's automated case picking (ACP) systems provide the tools to outperform traditional order fulfillment methods. These improvements not only benefit distribution centres, but also the efficiency of the processes at work in stores. Vanderlande's ACP design is setup to allow modular growth and ensures availability by utilising parallel activities.
The service levels of a supermarket are highly dependent on the quality and speed of its replenishment systems. When the store orders a shipment from the distribution centre, it is essential that the pallets are selected in the same sequence of product groups as the store's layout. Before the pallets are stacked, the load forming logic software defines an optimal stacking pattern, with this product group sequence in mind.
It also defines staple pallets that are filled with maximum efficiency, so that the transport volume is minimised. The finished pallets will be wrapped and transported to stores, where there will be no need for extra sortation and they can be used immediately to fill the shelves.The Load Forming Logic (LFL) software ensures:
Robotic technology
In the automated distribution centre, a robot with a special mechanical gripper is used to take full layers of product from the pallet. The layers are then deposited on a conveyor system, where inpidual products are oriented correctly by a series of processes. Safe handling in the storage system is ensured by a 3D-measuring system that uses laser technology.
Pallets can be picked from pallet high-bay storage with an automated storage and retrieval system. When combined with pallet conveyors and sortation systems, this can provide a fully automated pallet-picking process. Vanderlande has implemented pallet-picking systems at Argos, Colombini, Arrow Electronics, Edeka and Tchibo.
Batch picking increases both throughput and operator efficiency. It optimises order-picking effectiveness by maximising pick quantities and minimising operator walking distances. Orders are either sorted/consolidated by order or destination automatically, which reduces manual handling and the problems normally associated with congested aisles in traditional order picking.
Vanderlande's batch picking systems are supported by the VISION warehouse management system for the effective handling of the entire process. Functionalities include batch and resource planning, sorter control and a dashboard to display key performance indicators.
The company has broad experience of designing and implementing batch-picking systems, for companies including Amazon, Game Stores, Euro Shoe and Staples.
Picking takes place with virtually no manual labour. This type of solution is especially beneficial for fresh food in a retail environment, such as meat, poultry, deli, fruit, vegetables and dairy products. Examples have already been installed at Micarna, Edeka and Hilton Meat.
In the e-commerce market, omni-channel warehousing companies are continually looking for ways to run their operations more efficiently. They must maintain the highest level of service, meet growing consumer expectations, as well as cope with an increased order frequency, a growing number of smaller orders, and factor in the challenges associated with labour scarcity.
Vanderlande has developed smart item robotics (SIR) to help you deal with these challenges. It can handle dynamic product ranges without SKU teaching. Intelligent stacking enables the efficient positioning of goods, while products are handled smoothly and securely. SIR can also be deployed in a flexible way by allowing for operator intervention as required.
SIR has two applications. With bin-to-bin item picking, the robot picks single products from a source bin. The dimensions of each are measured while the robot is in motion and it gently stacks these into the required order carton or bin. In bin-to-belt item picking, the robot picks single items from a source bin, again taking the dimensions of the product into account, before placing it on a belt. This can then feed a pocket sorter, packing machine or other type of sorter. With SIR, Vanderlande offers the next step in flexible warehouse automation.
Vanderlande's PICK@EASE workstations offer a range of value-added service functions for multipurpose use. The modular and functional setup supports all possible business and order profiles. All versions are designed for seamless integration with Vanderlande's goods-to-person order fulfillment solutions.
PICK@EASE is a portfolio of ergonomic workstations offering a wide range of capacities – from 100 to 1,000 order lines per hour, per operator. They provide the optimal solution to support operator and process productivity.
PICK@EASE workstations help to reduce errors to almost zero. Pick-to-Light displays, detection light grids and a touchscreen maximise quality control. The touchscreen application is the central user interface for optimal process support. PICK@EASE is also supported by user-friendly VISION software.
Ergonomic design
PICK@EASE enables operators to maintain high productivity levels for sustained working periods. It features horizontal picking at the same level, optional height adjustable platforms and ergonomic mats.
In addition, Philips Dynamic Lighting is an advanced solution that brings the benefits of natural daylight indoors. This creates a natural lighting ambience that provides control over the working environment and helps to improve operator wellbeing.
The benefits of PICK@EASE include:
Vanderlande offers a range of sortation systems tailored to inpidual business processes, products, required throughput, and the volume and nature of sort destinations.These systems consist of both line sorters (sliding shoe sorters, pusher sorters and pop-up sorters) and loop sorters (cross-belt sorters and tilt-tray sorters). Vanderlande has implemented automated sortation systems at many well-known companies such as Amazon, Urban Outfitters and Edeka.
It is used mainly in batch-picking processes and cross-docking systems, and as a shipping sorter. It has capacity for up to 18,000 carriers per hour. Vanderlande has a range of CROSSORTERs, which include the 700, 1200 and 1500 versions.
The company is committed to ensuring materials are used in a way that ensures their return into technical or biological cycles. The CROSSORTER is built using sustainable materials, consisting of technological or biological materials that are safe and healthy for both humans and the environment.
The company has implemented cross-belt sorters at many well-known companies, including Nike, Urban Outfitters, Marie Claire and GAME Stores.The following results have been achieved with the CROSSORTER:
Vanderlande has implemented POSISORTERs at many well-known companies, such as Argos, Edeka and Staples.
The modular design means the TRAYSORTER is fully scalable and the configuration can be adapted to inpidual requirements. It can also be adjusted to fit into existing warehouse architecture.
Cost effective
With a low initial investment, the TRAYSORTER is an affordable and innovative sorter that helps to boost a facility's overall performance. The optimum design of the modules results in the smallest footprint concept per sorted item and a favourable ROI.
Several tray types are available:
Automated order consolidation and shipping can significantly enhance the efficiency and speed of an outbound operation. It can also enhance store-friendly delivery and reduce transport costs by optimising the loading of dollies, pallets and roll cages.
Order consolidation
Material flows from different (order picking) areas come together in an automated storage and retrieval system. Vanderlande's shuttle systems (MICROSHUTTLE, ADAPTO and HDS) are cost-effective solutions for the short-term storage of order totes and cartons. Due to its high capacity, QUICKSTORE HDS is most suitable for this purpose.
Within a short time period, flows can be sorted and grouped per order, delivery unit or shipment, and then dispatched in the precise sequence required. The result is fast, efficient order consolidation and store-friendly delivery with minimum manual labour requirements.
Automated shipping sortation
By implementing automated shipping sortation systems, goods can automatically be directed to a lane associated with a retail outlet, delivery route or provider, and geographical area. This significantly increases efficiency, improves accuracy and reduces the costs per carton, or tote, handled.
Vanderlande has installed automated shipping sortation systems at many companies, including, Casaventa, Nike, Staples, Colombini and Herma.
Packing systems with PACK@EASE workstations can be integrated with other picking concepts or delivered as stand-alones. These solutions enable customers to organise their processes in the most efficient, cost-effective way.
PACK@EASE workstations have been designed on the same ergonomic basis as the PICK@EASE range in cooperation with the Dutch research institute TNO.
This solution has been installed for a number of companies, such as Life Technologies.
The main benefits of PACK@EASE are:
In the near future robotic technology will be developed for other market segments, such as baggage handling; parcel and postal; fashion; and parts and components. This will be mainly in warehousing, with automatic item picking and ULD loading as examples of promising applications offered to Vanderlande's customers. Robotic technology provides a number of benefits:
The success of automated storage, order-picking and sortation systems depends on their reliability and cost effectiveness, or the internal transport that connects all logistic processes. The .M conveyor range is designed specifically to meet these requirements.
To enhance the effectiveness of warehouse operations, Vanderlande has
developed VISION, a warehouse management and control system. It includes:
turnkey solutions for material flow handling; user applications for picking,
counting and exception handling; and management functions in a web-based
supervisor application (business process installation).
The system supports value-added services and different user interface technologies, such as RF terminals, pick-by-voice and pick-to-light. VISION also offers extendibility, scalability and flexibility, which ensures investment security to highly automated warehouses.

I know I said I'd post this yesterday. I planned to do it when I got home last night after a visit with a friend, but I came home to find a toddler who had a cough and wasn't sleeping...
Last Friday morning after I dropped J at daycare, I turned the car around and headed practically home (we live only a few blocks from the hospital) for my scariest appointment yet...the one with the neurologist at the stroke prevention clinic.
Results from that appointment? More of the same...your tests are normal, we're not sure what's going on, let's do more tests. The neurologist was a bit concerned that my blood pressure was up, but let's be realistic here, the nurse took my blood pressure moments after I was given a brochure about TIAs because most likely that's what I had (um, to clarify, not likely). That freaked me out. A lot. I was at the appointment alone because I wasn't too concerned about it...but at that moment I could feel my blood pressure climbing and the tears building and I wished I had someone, anyone, in the room with me. The nurse asked if I was feeling anxious and told me not to worry about my blood pressure because it was probably high because of the anxiety, but the doctor, he was a little concerned. So along with the tests, I will be visiting my family doctor for weekly blood pressure monitoring sessions.
What's next? Well, an early morning MRI which will determine pretty much all the next steps and a visit with a dietitian. For now I just need to keep going with life...and avoid grapefruit.
I think I can handle that!
