Tips for Protecting Your Food Truck's Staff
Even though the space your food truck and commercial kitchen takes up is minimal compared to many restaurants, the same types of injuries take place. Knowing how to avoid these injuries can help you prevent some of them from happening. Be sure to train your staff to observe these safety rules to prevent them from becoming victims of injury.
Work-related burns are a leading cause of occupational injury in the United States. How can you avoid burn injuries in your food truck? Take the following precautions:
Avoid overcrowding on range tops.
Set pot handles away from burners, and never allow handles to stick out over the edge of the range.
Adjust burner flames to cover only the bottom of a pan.
Avoid loose clothing when working around ranges or ovens.
Avoid porous fabrics, such as canvas, on your footwear because they don't protect feet from spills and burns.
Check hot foods on the stove carefully by uncovering steaming food containers away from your face.
Don't leave hot oil or grease unattended.
Use hot pads when removing items from the microwave or oven, and lift lids cautiously to allow steam to escape.
Take extra-special care if you have a fryer on your food truck; fryer mishaps often result in burns. Here are some guidelines for fryer safety:
Use grease-containing units that dump automatically.
Use fryers that lower food automatically into the hot oil.
Use splash guards on fryers.
Use potholders, gloves, or mitts.
Shake off excess ice crystals before placing a fryer basket in hot oil.
Fill fryer baskets only halfway.
Raise and lower fryer baskets gently.
Don't stand too close to or lean over hot oil.
Keep liquids and beverages away from fryers.
Follow the fryer manufacturer's directions when adding new fat or oil and/or when disposing of oil.
Cuts, lacerations, and puncture wounds
Cuts, lacerations, and puncture wounds are some of the most common injuries reported in the food service industry. These injuries can be caused from handling knives or other cutting equipment. You can reduce their likelihood by implementing some simple strategies:
Provide knives that are the right size and type for each job.
Provide proper storage for knives (counter racks, wall racks, or storage blocks).
Keep knives sharp (dull knives are unsafe).
Keep handles in good repair; tighten or replace loose handles.
Never leave knives soaking in water.
Stop cutting and place the knife you're using in a flat, safe place if you're interrupted.
Pass a knife to colleagues by laying it on a counter, or pass it with the blade pointed down.
Never try to catch a falling knife.
Keep fingers tucked on the hand that's holding the food when you're cutting.
Never rush your staff; allow enough time to work safely.
Sprains and strains
Sprains and strains of muscles and tendons are common among food service workers. Improper lifting and repetitive motions are often associated with sprains, strains, and tear injuries in food trucks. With proper training and open communication between employees and managers, many of these injuries can be prevented. Use these tips to avoid sprains and strains while lifting loads:
Get help when the load is heavy, awkward, or unstable.
Hold the load close to your body.
Avoid twisting your body while lifting a heavy object.
Slips, trips, and falls
Slips and falls can occur on wet or contaminated surfaces. Common sources of slippery floors in food trucks include overspray from sinks, leaking equipment or pipes, food debris, and spills. You can prevent slip, trip, and fall injuries by taking these preventive measures:
Clean up spills immediately (spilled or dropped food, grease, oil, and water can be extremely dangerous).
Use nonslip matting on the floors.
Keep the aisle clear at all times.
Remove tripping hazards, such as cords and hoses, by storing them properly.
Wearing appropriate footwear is a useful way to avoid falls, too:
Wear sturdy shoes with slip-resistant soles and low heels (no leather soles, open toe, platform, or high heels).
Keep shoes laced and tightly tied; you can easily trip over an untied shoelace!
Look for a tread that channels liquid out from under the shoe to prevent hydroplaning.
Driving accidents
Learning some basic truck driving safety tips can help you get to your next destination safely. Food trucks are powerful vehicles that can be potential hazards if not handled properly. You can avoid injuring or even killing yourself or others on the road by following these suggestions:
Be aware of your blind spots. Other drivers may not be aware of the areas you can't see while you're driving your truck. Watch out for vehicles in these blind spots. Blind spots represent danger areas around your truck where crashes are more likely to occur. One-third of all crashes between trucks and cars take place because of blind spots.
Drive slowly in work zones. Watch out for road construction and stay alert. Work zone crashes are more likely to happen during the day. Almost one-third of fatal crashes in work zones involved trucks. Take your time going through work zones and give yourself plenty of room.
Always leave enough space between you and the vehicle in front of you. If you hit someone from behind, you're typically considered at fault, regardless of the situation. Food trucks require more stopping distances than other vehicles. Take advantage of your driving height and anticipate braking situations.
Buckle up for safety. If you're in a crash, a seatbelt can save your life and those around you. A seatbelt keeps you in your seat and allows you to maintain control of your truck or bus. A major cause of automotive fatalities involves being ejected from the vehicle. Wearing seatbelts is the single most effective way to save lives and reduce injures on the road.
Use a second vehicle. Each passenger in your truck must wear a seatbelt. This means that if you require a staff of six to operate your truck and you have only two seats with seatbelts, the additional staff members must follow the truck in another vehicle. Following this procedure will help prevent your employees from getting injured.
Use a spotter. Because of the size of your truck and because most of the spots you'll be parking in weren't designed with your truck in mind, have one of your employees assist you in parking. This person can help you avoid hitting someone or something that's hidden in one of your blind spots.
Drive defensively. Avoid aggressive drivers. It's estimated that each year, two-thirds of all traffic fatalities are caused by aggressive driving behaviors. Keep your distance and maintain a safe speed. The only thing speed will increase is your chance for a crash.

* Spring Nature Craft: Pine Cone Eggs
I wish I could take credit for this idea, but I have to give credit where credit is due...
My 4 year old "C" came up with this project in, wait for it.... January.
While we were standing in 6 inches of snow at the bus stop.
Our neighbor's tree had just fallen down in the storm
and there were pine cones and branches everywhere.
"C" picked one up and asked if we could take some home to paint as "Easter Eggs"
So that's exactly what we did.
Except, I've been saving the pine cones in my garage for 3 months.
I set up "C" with a paper plate and some washable acrylic craft paint.
She chose pink, green, blue, and purple as our "Easter colors."
Get ready for painted fingers!
Pretty Painted Easter "Eggs"
Happy Spring Crafting!
Our kids have a lot of great ideas,
if we just listen to what they have to say.

Red bean and pepper meatballs
This is my favorite meatballs recipe to date. It's spicy, it's rich, it's deliciously thick and serves as a complete meal on it's own. It's one of my never failed meals, because it's impossible to make it taste bad, it can even survive burning (a bit :P), wrong order of cooking, missing ingredients and virtually any cooking disaster you can imagine ;-)

Tips for a Successful Midwinter Meeting
From Midwinter2008
Revision as of 14:54, 8 January 2008 by Admin (Talk | contribs) (→Welcome and Orientation Emails - Archive)
Adapted from the New Members Round Table (NMRT) "Conference Tips for ALA Annual"
Welcome and Orientation Emails - Archive
to review the Welcome and Orientation Email 1
To review the Orientation Email 2
Before Conference
- Check preview pages in December issue of American Libraries. Mark discussion groups and meetings of interest. Use ALA Handbook of Organizations for information about individual units and committees.
- Ask friends and colleagues what they are involved in and what they enjoy. Try to attend meetings or discussion groups with them at the Midwinter. Suggest that they introduce you to people.
- Plan for follow-up. Many libraries ask employees to report back on their meeting experiences. It is easier to synthesize needed information if you consider these questions before the conference.
- Cooperate with co-workers. If multiple people from your library are attending, talk with them about attending different sessions and meeting to discuss your experiences afterwards. Stay focused.
- Pack comfortable shoes. Pack clothing that is comfortable but still professional. Pack snacks such as granola or power bars, or plan to buy some snacks and small bottles of water after you arrive.
- Bring business cards.
At the Midwinter Meeting
- Don't feel overwhelmed with the program guide at registration. When you have a free moment (hopefully your first night at the meeting), review the guide and revise your original schedule to fit the time and place of meetings.
- Don't schedule time too tightly. Allow enough time to go from one meeting to another. Schedule time for relaxing and sightseeing. Allow for seredipity--the person behind you in the coffee line may be just the person you need to talk with about your current project!
- Each day bring your revised schedule or tear out the program pages for that day as a reminder of meeting times and places.
- It's easier to remember all of the interesting ideas you hear and people you meet if you make a note soon after -- try taking five minutes to "brain dump" the highlights of a meeting into your notebook before you go on to something new.
- Meetings of committees and discussion groups are at many different hotels in the city. The program guide provides maps which can help you gauge the distances between meetings. Don't worry if you arrive a little late or if you need to leave early. Attendees regularly come and go from meetings and discussion groups.
- If you want to get involved, attend committee meetings and introduce yourself to the chairperson.
- See also Getting the Most Out of the Exhibits
Other Meeting Tips
- Bring business cards with you. If you are a library school student, you may want to have business cards printed. The Midwinter Meeting can be an excellent opportunity to network, and you can distribute the business cards on the Exhibit/Trade Show Floor.
- Check Cognotes, the daily conference newspaper, for last-minute additions and changes.
- Wear your badge to meetings and social events, but not on the street. This "brands" you as a visitor and a possible target.
- Attend vendor luncheons and receptions, talk to people in meetings, on the shuttle buses and at other events.
After Midwinter
- Keep Connections. Follow up with colleagues or presenters that you met. Getting to know new colleagues and peers is one of the most rewarding components of attendance.
- Apply Your Experiences. Even if you are not required to report on your time at the Midwinter Meeting, you will retain new information and ideas better if you discuss them with co-workers. Share your notes or experiment with new ideas that learned about at conference.


text: First of all, it's been a long time and I shouldn't have left you without a dope beat to step to … or at least some blog posts to read. Astute readers and "Friends-of-Snob" have pointed out on numerous occasions my last post here was in November. My last articles on Clutch and The Root were in January and I promised, on the Facebooks and Twitters, that I'd come back in February and now March is almost over. So, yes, that is all true. My goal was to redo my site and re-brand/re-launch on WordPress, but WordPress struggled to import all my old posts (I've been blogging since 2007, so there are quite a few) and I'm so busy and impatient I no longer have the energy to futz around with my own HTML and make something pretty.


text: mirili 3 Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Hi everybody , I have had acne since I was 14 years old. Now I am 22 and I can tell that I kind of have it under control, mainly thanks to bcp . I dont get inflamed acne anymore, but I have lots and lots of blackheads and flesh colored bumps under my skin and also a lot of hyperpigmentation and scars from old acne. I started using Locacid (0.05 tretinoin cream gel) 3 weeks ago. I didnt experience initial breakout yet and I can tell that the texture of my skin has improved, but I still have a lot of blackeads and hyperpigmentation and scars. I know that tretinoin can help to fade these but it is going to take a long time. I hope that tretinoin will help me achieve my goals and I will have clear skin eventually. I also have problems with picking and that is one of the reasons I am making this log, because with my weekly updates I want to update also on my picking problem and if I picked at my skin that week or not. I hope this helps me during my treatement and any recommendations are appreciated (if somebody is actually reading this ).

Not what I expected
I got the sample and it had a nice clean smell, nothing too intense. I'm not one to get 3-in-1 or 2-in-1 products but thought this would be good to take on vacation to cut down on space. I ordered the full version and when it came in I noticed the smell was not the same as the sample. If I didn't know any better I would say it was a totally different product. The tube looks the exact same as the sample bottle. While some people may like the smell, it was too strong for me and was nothing like what was in the sample. It reminds me of a certain drugstore body splash that my grandfather uses. If the sample smelled the same as the full product I would not have purchased the full tube. I am very disappointed with the difference between the two. In my opinion I think it is a bit over priced for no more than what it is.1

China Q3 B2C Growth Slowed, Oppenheimer Downgrades VIPShop, Lowers LightInTheBox TP
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
In the third-quarter, B2C e-commerce growth moderated to 50% year-on-year, down from 82% in Q2 and 96% in Q1.
Oppenheimer analyst Andy Yeung expects revenue growth for the three B2C companies under his coverage - VIPShop (VIPS), Dang Dang (DANG) and LightInTheBox (LITB) - to be robust, but moderating, in the coming quarters - and that is not good for VIPShop, which is priced for perfection. As a result, the analyst downgraded the online discounter to Hold on rich valuation. VIPShop gained 316.5% year-to-date and almost 50% since it reported Q2 results.
Here is Oppenheimer:
While VIPS' investment thesis of strong growth and margin expansion remains largely intact, we
believe its fundamentals have yet to catch up with the stock's valuation. Based on our 2014 estimates, VIPS is trading at ~49x PE, 1.7x EV/sales, ~33x EV/EBITDA and ~1.0 PEG multiples, a premium to all its Chinese and US e-commerce peers, except Amazon. Hence we are downgrading the stock from Outperform to Perform and removing our price target of $35.
Shares in LightInTheBox pulled back almost 50% since it reported a dismal Q2 in August. Oppenheimer seems sympathetic to the company even as it lowers Buy price target from $17 to $11.5:
While investors were understandably disappointed with LITB growth trajectory and potential impact on its margin expansion trajectory given potential lower sales volumes to defray expenses, the stock appears oversold. It may take LITB a couple more quarters to remedy its recent merchandizing and marketing issues and rebuild its credibility with investors, the company should be able to sustain solid revenue growth (30%+ y/y) and y/y margin expansion through 2014. As such, we're lowering our price target from $17 to $11.50 on lower estimates but maintaining our Outperform rating on LITB. Our price target of $11.50 is based on a ~19x 2014E EV/EBITDA multiple.
Oppenheimer believes all three stocks will pull back after earnings report. VIPShop is reporting today. Dang Dang is reporting on November 14. LightInTheBox is reporting on Nov. 19.

Experts brace for wave of autistic adults
Guido Abenes appreciates their concern, but he'd really like his parents to stop worrying about him.
He's 25, he says, and he's doing fine. But he's also autistic, part of the generation of young adults who were born during the first big wave of autism cases in the United States two decades ago and are now struggling to strike out on their own.
"I tell them sometimes, 'Stop it, I'm doing things, I'm resourceful,' " said Abenes, who is a student at Cal State East Bay. "They're getting the message, I think. But they still worry."
Abenes, who wants to be a therapist someday and travel the world, is fortunate. He joined the College Internship Program in Berkeley, which provides him with a two-bedroom apartment he shares with a roommate, along with intensive, daily academic and developmental support to help him continue to thrive into adulthood.
But Abenes' situation is unusual, say autism advocates and experts, who are bracing for a flood of adults with autism who lack the support they had as children, and are entering a world that isn't ready for them.
Skyrocketing rates
It was in the late 1980s and early '90s that rates of autism started skyrocketing in the United States. A condition that once was considered rare, with fewer than 2 cases per 1,000 births in the United States, is now thought to afflict 1 in 88 children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's unclear exactly what has caused the increase, but factors could include greater awareness and better diagnosing of the condition, as well as an actual rise in cases, perhaps related to environmental factors.
For those born in that first wave and now entering adulthood, it's a tough, uncertain future. Some, like Abenes, will go to college or find jobs and eventually move out on their own.
But most will not, studies show. Most will continue to live at home and will, at best, find part-time, minimum-wage work - or no work at all. Many will suffer setbacks in their condition. Two recent studies found that only about a third of autistic young adults had jobs or went to school.
"A majority of our adults are underserved or not served at all. They can't access the same services as adults that they had as children," said Jim Ball, board chairman of the Autism Society, a national advocacy group. "We are doing a lot for our kids, but these kids are going to live to 80 or 90 years old - they're going to live the majority of their lives as adults. What are we doing for them in that realm?"
Twenty-two years old is an important turning point for many young people with autism. That's when they officially age out of the public school system that offered them educational and other supportive services.
Kids in the middle
Kids with intellectual disabilities - most notably, an IQ under 70 - often have post-high school opportunities for continued improvement and some measure of independent living. Most of them will continue to get supportive care daily for the rest of their adult lives from state and federal programs.
And the young people at the opposite end of the spectrum - the ones identified as having Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism, who may have above-average IQs or skills that will aid them in college and careers - often manage adult life just fine.
It's the ones in the middle who suffer the most, autism experts said. They don't have enough of a disability to get major supportive care, but they're clearly disabled enough that they have a hard time finding, and keeping, jobs or attending college classes.
"These are kids who seem like they could do things and be successful, and they just end up staying at home because there are very few resources for them," said Dr. Carl Feinstein, director of the Stanford Autism Center at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.
"Their parents are frustrated because they don't know how to help and they aren't so happy with their kids living in their home," he said. "Meanwhile, these kids grew up thinking they would have a driver's license and an apartment of their own, and they'd get married and have all these things that aren't happening."
That's where something like Berkeley's College Internship Program comes in. The program was started in the 1980s on the East Coast by a man who was diagnosed with Asperger's in his 50s. It serves young adults ages 18 to 26 who have autism or other types of learning disabilities, many of whom fall in that middle range of needing support.
Preparation for life
The goal of the program is to provide the support services these young people may need to be successful in school and start a career, as well as teaching life skills to help them become independent adults.
The students live in housing provided by the program in downtown Berkeley, and they usually attend classes at nearby community colleges. At the program center, students get lessons in cooking and banking and other basic living skills. They learn how to budget their time, how to apply for jobs and how to get along with co-workers and bosses.
But it's expensive: The program costs $30,000 to $70,000 a year, not including housing or tuition at other academic institutions. Scholarships are available and insurance may cover some or all of the expenses.
For those who can afford it, or whose parents have the time and energy to seek the help, there are other, similar programs. Many college campuses, including Cal State East Bay, offer extra services for autistic students.
Some businesses are starting special programs for hiring autistic employees, especially if those employees possess skills like focus and an attention to detail that can come hand-in-hand with autism. One company, Palo Alto-based Semperical, is based entirely around a model of hiring high-functioning autistic employees as test engineers.
But those jobs and support programs aren't large and there aren't many of them. Meanwhile, the group of autistic adults needing these services is only going to grow. The first generation is entering its 20s - but they'll be hitting middle age soon enough, and there are even larger generations on their heels.
Worried parents
It's not just a problem for the autistic children and adults, but for their families - especially for the parents, many of whom worry they won't be able to care for their adult children much longer.
"I hear from parents in the Baby Boomer generation who have kids in their 30s now," said Kurt Ohifs, executive director of Pacific Autism Center for Education in Santa Clara. "They come to me and say, 'I'm afraid to die, because who's going to care for my son or daughter?' "

J.J. Christoffel Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett 2014
Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
Eymael continues the legacy of winemaking that drove the estate to prestige under Hans Leo, in a style that maximizes clarity: whole cluster pressing, slow and cool fermentation in fuder, racking immediately off the gross lees followed by a short time on fine lees and early bottling to preserve the freshest of fruit characters indicative to Mosel typicity.
Following the Mosel River as it slithers and weaves dramatically through the Eifel Mountains in Germany's far west, the Mosel wine region is considered by many as the source of the world's finest and longest-lived Rieslings.
Mosel's unique and unsurpassed combination of geography, geology and climate all combine together to make this true. Many of the Mosel's best vineyard sites are on the steep south or southwest facing slopes, where vines receive up to ten times more sunlight, a very desirable condition in this cold climate region. Given how many twists and turns the Mosel River makes, it is not had to find a vineyard with this exposure. In fact, the Mosel's breathtakingly steep slopes of rocky, slate-based soils straddle the riverbanks along its entire length. These rocky slate soils, as well as the river, retain and reflect heat back to the vineyards, a phenomenon that aids in the complete ripening of its grapes.
Riesling is by far the most important and prestigious grape of the Mosel, grown on approximately 60% of the region's vineyard land—typically on the desirable sites that provide the best combination of sunlight, soil type and altitude. The best Mosel Rieslings—dry or sweet—express marked acidity, low alcohol, great purity and intensity with aromas and flavors of wet slate, citrus and stone fruit. With age, the wine's color will become more golden and pleasing aromas of honey, dried apricot and sometimes petrol develop.
Other varieties planted in the Mosel include Müller-Thurgau, Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) and Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), all performing quite well here.
A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. It can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and the best exmples can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Riesling is best known in Germany and Alsace, and is also of great importance in Austria. The variety has also been particularly successful in Australia's Clare and Eden Valleys, New Zealand, Washington, cooler regions of California, and the Finger Lakes region of New York.
Tasting Notes for Riesling
Riesling can be a sweet or dry white wine. In any case it usually has a high acidity and stone fruit, citrus, spice and floral notes. At its ripest, it leans towards juicy peach, nectarine and pineapple, while cooler climes produce Rieslings redolent of meyer lemon, lime and green apple. With age, Riesling can become truly revelatory, developing unique, complex aromatics, often with a hint of petrol.
Perfect Food Pairings for Riesling
Riesling is quite versatile, enjoying the company of sweet-fleshed fish like sole, freshly shucked oysters and most Asian food. Sweeter styles work well with fruit-based desserts.
Sommelier Secrets for Riesling
It can be difficult to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling, and German labeling laws do not make things any easier. Look for the world "trocken" to indicate a dry wine, or "halbtrocken" or "feinherb" for off-dry. Some producers will include a helpful sweetness scale on the back label—happily, a growing trend.

Fracking can hurt property values of nearby homes with wells, study suggests
Property owners near shale gas wells are liable to suffer a major loss in value because of worries over water contamination, according to economists from Duke University and the nonprofit research organization Resources for the Future.Their study found Pennsylvania homeowners who use local groundwater for drinking lost up to 24 percent of their property value if they are within a mile and a quarter of a shale gas well.
But the news was far better for neighbors who get their water piped in. They saw values rise by nearly 11 percent, likely because of lease money from gas drillers and no worries about polluted water, the researchers found.
The study is among the first attempts to measure the impact on property owners of the shale gas boom sweeping the nation. It comes as the need for new regulations is being hotly debated and shale gas critics allege people are getting sick from hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, the process in which high-pressure water and chemicals are injected underground to free up the natural gas in shale rock.
There has been no scientific consensus determining that fracking pollutes groundwater. But the fear is enough to drive down property values, suggests the study, which was recently released by the nonpartisan National Bureau of Economic Research after being completed this summer. The researchers said the 24 percent drop in home values was driven by public perception instead of any actual data showing contamination. And, while those homes would get gas lease payments lessening the impact, the researchers said they are still suffering a big loss relative to the rest of the local housing market.
"The perception of how much risk there is of groundwater contamination from fracking is tremendous," said Lucija Muehlenbachs of the nonpartisan Resources for the Future, who conducted the study with colleague Elisheba Spiller and Chris Timmins, an economics professor at Duke University.
The researchers looked at property values of all homes in Washington County, Pa., near Pittsburgh. It's an area at the heart of the shale gas revolution. They found just over 200 homes within a mile and a quarter of a shale gas well.
About half the homes were on piped water. Researchers saw an increase in value in those homes. The other half relied on water wells that drew from local groundwater, and they had a significant loss in value. The researchers suggested that loss could lead to an increase in the likelihood of foreclosure in areas experiencing the rapid growth of hydraulic fracturing.
The researchers suggested their finding "provides added impetus for regulators to protect groundwater under hydraulic fracturing sites and for industry to increase transparency and voluntary action to reduce water contamination concerns."
The study was dismissed by the Marcellus Shale Coalition, the drilling industry's top trade group in Pennsylvania. A spokesman responded to the study by saying overall property values have gone up in shale areas and drilling brings jobs and tax revenue.
"Making sweeping assessments based on a narrow data set may help advance a certain narrative, but the facts are clear. Safe, job-creating American natural gas development is bolstering our region's economy," coalition spokesman Steve Forde said in an emailed statement.
It won't be the last study on the contentious subject, and the researchers themselves are starting to take a broader look at all of Pennsylvania. There already is some competing data.
Ohio State University researchers came out with an earlier study, also in Washington County near Pittsburgh. They looked at a narrower time period – about two years rather than five – and suggested drilling had less of an impact on property values.
The Ohio State researchers found about a 4 percent drop in property value for households that rely on private well water within a mile of a shale gas well. The drop was bigger and lasted longer for more rural homes surrounded by farmland, according to the Ohio State researchers. They saw a dip of more than 7 percent in value.
"We find evidence that households are negatively impacted by shale gas exploration activity, but this impact largely depends on the proximity and intensity of shale activity and diminishes over time as risk perceptions adjust following the (end) of exploration activity," they found.

HugeDigital necesitaba un nuevo diseño de papelería y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 118 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
Need to take high resolution png files of the back and front of business cards and convert to a single sided card based on the indesign template given. Winner will be offered project to complete all 100 cards for $1500+ USD
We are a company that supplies loyalty cards to cafe's. We have 100 cafes but do not have their vector artwork. This initial contest is to find people who could do the job so we can allocate out the next 96 after the initial 4.
Each card has been scanned in front and back. A new version of the card needs to be produced but all on a single side. Where physically possible all information should be arranged onto the single side, the backside will remain blank. All logos and fonts need to match as close as possible. Some of the scanned cards are a slightly different size to the template, but the final new cards need to be the size of the template.
On some of the cards there are coffee markers that represent the consumption of a coffee. The cafe owner marks them off each time a customer buys a coffee, with the last one being free. This is usually shown by the word free. Different cafe's offer a free coffee after a different number of consumptions. If this concept exists on a card then it needs to be represented on the single sided card. Some Cafes have multiple rows but on the single sided card there will always only be one.
4 sample cards and indesign template can be downloaded from http://www.hugedigital.com/loyaltycards/
- Vector artwork in Indesign template provided
- Match colours as close as possible
- Use a font that matches as close as possible
- Include all information that exists on the card, if physically possible and still look right
- All cards will have square edges
- No rasterised images

Wow! Very odd, very neat, and very amazing that the stone is still there! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Pretty amazing. Actually, there are two gravestones that this same tree is just growing over. I'm amazed that it has only been since 1960 that this stone was placed!ReplyDelete
Wow! I've never seen anything like that!ReplyDelete

Shahid Afridi Award for (Best post of the week) Like an innings by the great man, it does not have to be very long, to be great viewing.

Anyone who has ever stood as an umpire will realise what a tough job it can be.
Shane Warne Award for (Best thread of the week) Like his bowling it must be interesting but just like his private life it can also be controversial. And the Winner is James90 for this click here , it seems I almost won the Warney this week, but in the end the better thread takes the title.

The Bradman Award (Overall CW poster of the week) Simply the best no matter what the debate or criteria. And the Winner is: No award this week
Agarkar/Mohammed award for ('At least their trying' award)

***NEW*** - Saj Award for best rant of the week (following Saj's outburst after the 3rd Test, and no Saj, we don't know what you were doing out there either, it's a sad indictment on the quality of our reserves: And the Winner is: Will Scarlet for this click here I tend to agree with WS on this one; batters indeed
Please remember, these awards are not officially endorsed by CW management

I watch a lot of Law & Order with my husband. You can always count on hearing the question, "Where were you on the night of so and so?" So I decided to ask myself that question about what was I doing on this date two years ago.
Here's a two page spread from an album I did about ME! For thirty days I wrote down the tid bits of my daily life. I got this idea from Rebecca Sower's book and I started it immediately. I try to do at least one little mini-album about myself each year...so I won't be forgotten:)
I'm working on a curriculum for a workshop and I'd love to hear how you scrapbook/journal about yourself. Does it read like a diary, an autobiography, do you use lists, quizzes or is it just random thoughts?

TUCSON, March 26 (UPI) -- A gun store owner in Tucson said he canceled the purchase of an assault weapon by Mark Kelly, husband of former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, R-Ariz..
Kelly said he bought the AR-15 to show how easy it is to buy a weapon with high-capacity magazines even with a background check. He planned to surrender the gun to Tucson police, Politico reported.
Doug MacKinlay, owner of Diamondback Police Supply, said he canceled the purchase of the rifle when he discovered Kelly didn't intend to use it.
"While I support and respect Mark Kelly's 2nd Amendment rights to purchase, possess, and use firearms in a safe and responsible manner, his recent statements to the media made it clear that his intent in purchasing the Sig Sauer M400 5.56mm rifle from us was for reasons other then for his personal use," MacKinlay wrote on Facebook Monday. "In light of this fact, I determined that it was in my company's best interest to terminate this transaction prior to his returning to my store to complete the Federal Form 4473 and NICS background check required of Mr. Kelly before he could take possession this firearm."
Giffords suffered a traumatic head injury Jan. 8, 2011, when Jared Loughner, a community college student, opened fire at a meet-and-greet outside a Tucson supermarket. She and her husband, a Navy officer and NASA shuttle commander, have founded Americans for Responsible Solutions, a group that pushes for expanded background checks for gun buyers.

Jill: Selling to picky consumers is a tough business for Hain Celestial Group (HAIN) or anyone else in the specialty food space. But some companies are better equipped to face the future than others and our job is to help you identify outperformers in any given sector by analyzing the fundamentals, charts and clues from the options action.
Strategic investments plus continued efforts to contain costs, increase productivity, and enhance cash flows and margins have enabled it to deliver healthy results. Rise in consumption, innovative marketing and expanded distribution facilitated the company to post healthy sales and earnings numbers during first quarter 2013.
From a technical perspective, HAIN is currently trending above its 50-day moving average and just below its 200-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been uptrending slightly over the last month, and during that uptrend, shares of HAIN have been mostly making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action.
In just about every tag team I have done with Skip, I have said time and time again that 2013 will be a great year for the industrial and tech spaces due to the increase in capex spend. Another trend I expect to drive the tape is an increase in M&A and LBO activity due to the health of balance sheets and all of the cash that companies have accumulated over the past few years. That has to be unlocked in an effort to create shareholder value (not just via dividend increases and share buybacks). Cramer happens to agree with that as it pertains to HAIN. On CNBC, he said, "If I were running Campbell's Soup (CPB), a company devoid of serious organic growth, I would take the cheap money every bank is offering and I would purchase HAIN." For more of Cramer's M&A ideas, take the time to CLICK HERE and check out the full clip from CNBC.
My concern with HAIN is the lack of a dividend which limits the investor base to those wanting exposure to health-conscious foods, which is an industry that's seeing an increasing level of competition. In addition, the company reports tomorrow and I lean towards waiting for a better entry point before mimicking Icahn's stake in the stock. (Skip will get into that more). Something is going to happen in HAIN's price action and this how Skip and I would trade the name using one of our favorite strategies, the vertical call spread.
Skip: HAIN is in the business of processed and packaged goods. You might currently drink their popular Celestial Seasonings tea or eaten their Health Valley organic brand foods. You might also know that the Icahn family has been accumulating HAIN since 2010. That total ownership holding of the Icahn group according to HAIN financial data listed on Yahoo! Finance has grown to be over 15% of the total float as of now.
Today, (February 5), HAIN will report earnings for the last quarter which ended in December. Consensus expects $0.69 per share, a 33% gain over the previous year's performance. For fiscal year 2013, ending this June, HAIN analysts expect the company to have earned $2.42 per share, a 30% increase over 2012's $1.86 per share results.
Looking at HAIN's charts shows the stock is forming my coiling pattern. Thus, I do expect a volatility expansion to be in play soon. HAIN has a very small float of 46 million shares of which 15% of that float has been sold short. Normally I avoid such a small float stock, but this type of combination (small float and big % of that float sold short) can set off its own brand of volatility fireworks without a coiling pattern in play! Add the coil to this combustible mix and it is time for a speculative options trade.
HAIN has a very good chance to find new buyers for their stock, what little of it there is floating. Thus HAIN has the potential to move up (and down) in price rather sharply and quickly.
The trade tactic I prefer now for HAIN is the bullish out-of-the-money vertical call spread. This trade is a 100% controlled risk set up designed to profit from HAIN once again trading above 60 in the short term.
Trades: Buy to open 3 HAIN March 60 calls for $2.70 and sell to open 3 HAIN March 65 calls at $1.20.
As always, I will monitor the trade on this site in the comments section below.

William McFarlane Notman
Canadian, 1857–1913
Main Street, Winnipeg, c. 1888
albumen on paper mounted to card
19.5 x 24 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from the Photography Endowment of The Winnipeg Art Gallery Foundation Inc.
William McFarlane Notman was the son of William Notman (1826–1891), the first Canadian photographer to garner an international reputation. He began working in his father's studio in 1873. This piece comes from an album commissioned by the Canadian Pacific Railway and reveals the early illustrative function of photographs. At the time this photograph was taken it would have been used to promote Winnipeg as an ideal place for further settlement. Similar to his father's style, Notman documented the activity of the urban environment from a distance, reducing complicated shapes and lines to the bare essentials. Seen through a contemporary lens, this image is a powerful comment on the dominance of industry and the demise of the wild west.

PHOENIX (AP) Markieff Morris scored 14 points to lead five players in double figures and the Phoenix Suns beat the Portland Trail Blazers 104-93 in their preseason home opener Friday night.
Morris had an eventful first half, scoring five points and committing four fouls in only 3:47 on the floor. But the second-year forward hit 4 of 5 shots in the second half as the Suns extended a seven point halftime lead to as many as 16.
Luis Scola, Wesley Johnson and Shannon Brown had 12 points each for the Suns, who led for all but the first 2:40 of the game. Michael Beasley added 10 points.
Damian Lillard scored 15 points, and Meyers Leonard and Nicolas Batum had 14 apiece for the Blazers.

- The Resources folder
The Resources folder
Vérifié avec version: 2017.3
Difficulté: Avancé
This is the third chapter in a series of articles covering Assets, Resources and resource management in Unity 5.
This chapter discusses the Resources system. This is the system that allows developers to store Assets within one or more folders named Resources and to load or unload Objects from those Assets at runtime using the Resources API.
2.1. Best Practices for the Resources System
Don't use it.
This strong recommendation is made for several reasons:
Use of the Resources folder makes fine-grained memory management more difficult
Improper use of Resources folders will increase application startup time and the length of builds
- As the number of Resources folders increases, management of the Assets within those folders becomes very difficult
The Resources system degrades a project's ability to deliver custom content to specific platforms and eliminates the possibility of incremental content upgrades
- AssetBundle Variants are Unity's primary tool for adjusting content on a per-device basis
2.2. Proper uses of the Resources system
There are two specific use cases where the Resources system can be helpful without impeding good development practices:
The ease of the Resources folder makes it an excellent system to rapidly prototype. However, when a project moves into full production, the use of the Resources folder should be eliminated.
The Resources folder may be useful in some trivial cases, if the content is:
Generally required throughout a project's lifetime
Not memory-intensive
Not prone to patching, or does not vary across platforms or devices
Used for minimal bootstrapping
Examples of this second case include MonoBehaviour singletons used to host prefabs, or ScriptableObjects containing third-party configuration data, such as a Facebook App ID.
2.3. Serialization of Resources
The Assets and Objects in all folders named "Resources" are combined into a single serialized file when a project is built. This file also contains metadata and indexing information, similar to an AssetBundle. As described in the AssetBundle documentation, this index includes a serialized lookup tree that is used to resolve a given Object's name into its appropriate File GUID and Local ID. It is also used to locate the Object at a specific byte offset in the serialized file's body.
On most platforms, the lookup data structure is a balanced search tree, which has a construction time that grows at an O(n log(n)) rate. This growth also causes the index's loading time to grow more-than-linearly as the number of Objects in Resources folders increases.
This operation is unskippable and occurs at application startup time while the initial non-interactive splash screen is displayed. Initializing a Resources system containing 10,000 assets has been observed to consume multiple seconds on low-end mobile devices, even though most of the Objects contained in Resources folders are rarely actually needed to load into an application's first scene.

Seven large financial services firms, including Cleveland-based KeyCorp and PNC Financial Services Group, are listening to the concerns of regulators about the size of executive pay and its role in financial industry risk-taking, The Wall Street Journal reports. The newspaper says the firms "are scaling back the maximum bonuses awarded to executives who beat their performance targets," according to regulatory filings. "Late last year, the Federal Reserve began contacting banks about their compensation plans, said a person familiar with the phone calls," The Journal notes. "In regulatory filings, many of the firms cited the Fed as a reason for changes." The newspaper reports the seven firms recently cut their maximum performance-based bonuses, according to a study set to be released soon — possibly today — by Compensation Advisory Partners. The study examined practices at 23 of the largest financial-services firms. Typically, the firms "promise to give top executives a certain number of shares if they meet their targets over several years, and to give them more if they exceed their targets, up to a limit," The Journal says. But the Federal Reserve "grew concerned that the programs were too sweet for big banks," and last year it "urged certain financial-services firms to cap bonuses at a lower multiple of the target payouts, usually 125% or 150% instead of 200%." PNC did just that, reducing the payout to 125% of the target award. It then approved $2 million for an additional compensation pool to be divided among the affected executives, The Journal says.
Editor's Choice
Seven big banks heed regulators' concerns about executive pay
Incubators, accelerators and co-working spaces long have been attractive places for venture capitalists looking for new, compelling startups. But Forbes.com says the venues now are "proving to be rich in networking opportunities for lawyers, accountants and business advisors." These days, "it's possible to find professional services companies walking the corridors of startup breeding grounds and co-working spaces," according to the website. The story notes that locally based CBiz Inc. signed a deal last December to "provide fledgling companies at AlleyNYC with free accounting, tax and payroll advice to start relationships that may in the future yield big returns should some of those young firms strike gold." (For what it's worth, AlleyNYC, based in New York City, bills itself as "the most badass co-working space on the planet.) Such deals make sense because young companies "can benefit from professional services that offer, for example, information on negotiating options, organizational charts or how equity comes into play," according to Forbes.com.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that the rising cost of college "has rekindled the debate about the value of a liberal-arts education," with governors in at last three states questioning the value of such degrees as history, literature and philosophy. But several central Ohio college officials tell the newspaper that a liberal-arts education has never been more important as employers complain that graduates lack communication, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. "The problems of the 21st century — 9/11, the global economic meltdown, terrorism in Boston are complex and don't come in neat little boxes," says Victoria McGillin, the provost of Otterbein University, a private liberal-arts college in Westerville. She tells the newspaper that Otterbein students take classes in the arts, literature, natural and social sciences and religion and philosophy so they are well-rounded. Otterbein also gives students real-world experience; they are encouraged to do volunteer work and undergraduate research, travel abroad and seek internships and other job experiences. The Association of American Colleges and Universities released a survey this month showing that employers want more than knowledge about a particular field. According to the survey, 93% of the 318 business leaders surveyed in January agreed that a "demonstrated capacity to think critically, communicate clearly and solve complex problems" is more important than a job candidate's major, The Dispatch notes. "The group of liberal-arts schools also announced a compact among more than 100 schools and businesses to ensure that students get the broad knowledge and intellectual skills they need to succeed in jobs," the newspaper says.
