Vietnamese shrimp export: positive outlook!
November 23, 2010 Leave a comment
Accordingto Vietnam Customs in the first 9 months of 2010, Vietnameseshrimp export has reached 167,170 MT, valued at over US$1.4 billion,up 14.2% in volume and 22.13% in value compared to the same period of 2009.
|Since early this year, Vietnamese shrimp export has not have any huge difficulties, both export volume and value to most major markets have been up sharply.
Among the 10 top Vietnam's shrimp import markets, only Canada reduced to import this product. In the first 9 months of 2010, shrimp export to Chinaincreased greatest with 13,058 MT, worth over US$95 million, up 67.5% in volume and 62.2% in value over the same period last year. Although export price to this market was lower than other markets, export value remained high growth since the beginning of 2010.
Although facing the antidumping duty, shrimp export to the U.S. in the first 9 months of 2010 has still grown very "impressively" with 36,258 MT, worth US$376 million, up 13.9% in volume and nearly 30% in value over the same period last year. That was due to producer community's outstanding efforts in the status of domestic raw material shortages and acumen, taking advantage of opportunities created by import markets. In the past years, Indonesia has always been a fiercest competitor of Vietnamese shrimp industry. However, since QI, 2010, Indonesian shrimp export to the U.S. has decreased continuously as export volume of Prima JSC – its largest producer and exporter decreased due to infectious diseases. In addition, the U.S. shrimp catches fell compared to last year due to oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico – theU.S. major shrimp catching area making the domestic shrimp supply less more, even causing the shortage.
In 2010, shrimp export to EU has grown remarkably though many country members fell into the serious debt crisis. In the first 9 months of this year, shrimp export to this market has reached 30,980 MT, valued at US$225.5 million, up 10.3% in volume and 18.4% in value over the same period last year.Germany, France and the UK – three leading importers of Vietnamese shrimp seemed to not suffer from this debt crisis. Shrimp export value to these markets increased 56.8%, 12.3% and 6.2%, respectively to France, Germanyand England.
2010 has also been a good year for shrimp export to Japan. Since early this year, shrimp export to this market continued to increase. Following the inspection trip to Vietnam seafood processing industry in March 2010, good assessments of Food Safety Department – Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare on the quality and food safety management methods ofVietnam's seafood processing plants drove forces to shrimp export growth to this market.
It is forecasted that in the remaining months of 2010, Vietnam shrimp export would continue its growth unless markets' conditions had many big changes.

The size of the stability regions of Jupiter Trojans
Astrophysikalisches Institut, Universität Jena, Schillergässchen 2-3, 07745 Jena, Germany e-mail: email@example.com
Accepted: 15 February 2006
Context.We have known about the Trojan group of asteroids since 1906. With a suspected number comparable to that of the main-belt, they move around the Lagrangian points L4 and L5 of the Sun-Jupiter system.
Aims. During the past century the Trojan asteroids were the topic of many studies of their orbital dynamics and stability. In recent years it has been possible to perform extensive numerical simulations of the motion of these asteroids and thus also to investigate the size and structure of the stability region around the Lagrangian points. The aim of this work is to find new numerical estimates of the size and shape of the stability region. Additionally, the problem of the asymmetry between the two Trojan groups (there seem to be more asteroids in L4 than in L5) is investigated.
Methods.We investigate the extension of this regions in the () and () plane (where ) and show how the initial inclination and initial eccentricity change the size and shape of this region. The problem of Trojan asymmetry is investigated by directly analyzing the evolution of orbital parameters.
Results.We find both that there is a "critical" eccentricity of that plays an important role in the dynamics of Trojan asteroids and influences the structure of the stability regions and that the region of the small amplitudes of is larger for L4 due to the influence of Saturn and thus the L4 group of Trojans seems to be more stable than the L5 group.
Key words: celestial mechanics / minor planets, asteroids / methods: N-body simulations

Since this whole week has been very interesting (to say the least lol :P), I'm not sure what tonight's episode will be. Normally, it would be the Nominations episode, but I'm wondering what they'll show as far as the whole Chima drama thing.
Today, the HG's plan on having a "day off" and some fun in the sun. As Jeff said last night, "That's why it's called SUN-day." lol ;-)
I'm gonna enjoy the day with my husband (who misses me very much! lol), family, and friends. I'll be back tonight though.
If you would like to watch the houseguests & listen in on their conversations, then check out the live feeds!! You'll get to watch them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including all the endurance comps!! Speaking of, I'm thinking this week's HOH Comp will be an endurance comp, it's been 3 weeks now & the past 2 HOH Comps have been question comps.
Let's all take the afternoon off & meet back here tonight @ 8pm EST!! :D

The 2018 BMW 3 Series should be on the list for buyers looking for a compact luxury sports sedan. Whether it's enjoying a blend of refinement and features or smooth driving and sharp handling to the max.
The 3 Series has a legacy that BMW built a few decades ago when making a compact luxury car. The 3 Series is the best-selling car in its class, few can match its exquisite performance, though that does not stop other manufacturers from trying.
Trim, Features and Engine Specs
The 2018 BMW 3 Series is available in sedan and wagon body styles. Sedans come in 320i, 328d, 330i, 330e and 340i trim levels with rear-wheel drive as standard. All-wheel drive is optional on all except the 330e hybrid. The wagon is available in 330i xDrive and 328d xDrive trims.
The 2018 BMW 3 Series 320i starts with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 180 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. It has a choice of a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission. The EPA fuel economy ratings of 28 mpg combined (24 city/35 highway) for a rear-wheel-drive with the automatic. The manual version rates at 27 mpg combined (23/35), and the xDrive version at 27 mpg combined (23/34).
Standard feature includes remote unlocking and locking, 17-inch wheels, automatic wipers, push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, premium vinyl upholstery, Bluetooth connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity, the iDrive infotainment interface, BMW Assist emergency telematics, a 6.5-inch display and a nine-speaker sound system.
The 2018 BMW 3 Serie 330i get a more powerful 2.0-liter engine good for 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The EPA estimates at 27 mpg combined (24 city/34 highway) for the automatic rear-wheel drive and 27 mpg combined (23/33) for the xDrive. The manual version rating at 25 mpg combined (21/32). It also adds LED headlights, auto-dimming mirrors, power-folding and heated side mirrors, driver-seat memory settings, power-adjustable front sport seats, paddle shifters for automatic transmission and split-folding rear seat.
The 2018 BMW 3 Series 328d and 330e sedans are similarly to the 330i. Both use a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired to the eight-speed automatic. The 328d engine uses diesel fuel and produces 180 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. Rear-drive 328d sedans are rated at 36 mpg combined (31 city/43 highway), while the 328d xDrive sedan and wagon are both rated at 34 mpg combined 34 mpg combined (30/40).
The 330e hybrid engine uses conventional gasoline along with an electric motor for a combined 248 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The battery can be charged from a 240-volt outlet in 2.2 hours. According to the EPA, the 330e achieves 71 mpg combined with a 14-mile EV range factored in and in regular gas-electric mode.
The 2018 BMW 3 Series 328d and 330i wagons are similar to the sedans but also adds roof rails, a panoramic sunroof, a power liftgate and the eight-speed automatic transmission.
The 2018 BMW 3 Series 340i sedan is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine generates 320 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. With the automatic, EPA-rated at 25 mpg combined (21/33) with RWD and (21/31) with AWD. The manual drops to 23 mpg combined (19/29) for both RWD and AWD. In performance test, an all-wheel-drive 340i accelerated from zero to 60 mph in impressive 4.4 seconds.
The 340i also adds a sunroof, keyless entry and ignition, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system (optional on other models), the Premium and M Sport package content.
There are several optional packages for the 2018 BMW 3 Series. The Premium package adds an 8.5-inch display screen, a navigation system, a head-up display, BMW's Remote Services and heated front seats. The Executive package adds adaptive side and top-view parking cameras, LED headlights and upgraded leather upholstery.
Another optional package is Track Handling, which improves steering and handling. The Driving Assistance package that adds advanced driver safety features.
The 2018 3 Series cabin combines BMW classic design with the latest technology. Familiar analog measuring instruments made historical connections with BMW decades earlier, and material quality remained outstanding. The build quality is also very good. The standard 6.5-inch iDrive infotainment system is sufficient, but you'll want a 8.8-inch screen that offers a true luxury electronic interface. The touch pad at the top can be used to receive input using a finger. Overall, iDrive is easy to use, thanks to sharp graphics, sensible menus, and fast processing times.
The 320i manually adjusted standard front seats is very supportive and comfortable, and choosing an upgraded sports chair will certainly offer even more. There are impressive adjustments regardless of whether you choose a manual or power chair, and the telescoping steering wheel pulls back far enough even for the tall driver. The visibility around is also very nice thanks to the fairly thin pillars and lots of glass.
If accommodation is your priority, the 2018 BMW 3 Series rear seat is spacious, even a 6ft passenger can sit comfortably with ample headroom. You will not find a wider back seat in this class. 13 cubic feet of luggage space is above the average sedan in this class, while the wagon offers a maximum cargo capacity of 53 cubic feet with rear seats folded. That is almost the same as rival the 2018 Audi Allroad.
Release Date and Price
The 2018 BMW 3 Series is expected to go on sale summer the following year. The 2018 BMW 3 Series 320i sedan has Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting around $36,000, while the 340i variants beginning just under $50,000. The plug-in hybrid 330e starts around $46,500 and wagon start in the mid-$40,000 range. All-wheel drive adds about $2,000.

The South Australian Government has begun introducing digital passes and licences. This means that South Australians can carry selected Government issued passes and licences on an Apple or Android smart phone or tablet device.
Digital passes and licences will be introduced in stages. Proof of age passes, boat licences, and land agent and land sales representative registrations became available on 29 May 2017. Additional passes, licences and other functions will be added to the system from the second half of 2017.
Digital passes and licences are provided through the mySA GOV account (an update of the EzyReg account) and mySA GOV app. Digital passes and licences displayed in the mySA GOV app are a valid form of identification.
While current plastic and paper passes and licences will continue to be issued, some people may choose to only carry their digital proof of age pass.
Liquor licensees, Security and Investigation Agents, and justices of the peace will need to be able to verify digital passes or licences, commencing with proof of age passes from 29 May 2017.
There are two ways a digital pass or licence can be validated:
- "Shake-to-animate"
If you do not have a smartphone or tablet, you can view the digital pass or licence in the app on the pass/licence holder's smartphone or tablet. A "shake-to-animate" security feature has been added to the app. This feature animates the screen and display the current time and date. It is recommended that you ask the digital pass or licence holder to 'shake to animate' the screen and see the current date and time to prove that the visual is not a photo or screenshot.
- Create a mySA GOV account and install mySA GOV app on your smartphone or tablet
Once a mySA GOV account has been created, log into the app, press the validate button and point your camera at the barcode on the pass you wish to verify. (For businesses with several staff, separate accounts will need to be created for each staff person as accounts cannot be shared across multiple devices simultaneously). To create a mySA GOV account visit — sa.gov.au/mysagov
For more information about the mySA GOV app, setting up a mySA GOV account, and validating digital passes and licences visit — my.sa.gov.au
If you need help creating a mySA GOV account call Service SA on 1300 450 422 (Monday to Friday) during business hours or email — myaccountassistance [at] sa.gov.au ()

The Daily Banter-
By Mark Ames: Every week, it seems there's another tragic story about a suicide or murder-suicides linked to foreclosure trauma. Some of the more spectacular murder-by-foreclosure stories the past few years have been collected by a blog called "Greenspan's Body Count"—others, myself included, have been writing about these terrible stories of class warfare being waged by the only side fighting it, and winning it, as Warren Buffett rightly said.
Before the 2008 crisis, the media paid little attention to the death toll taken on Americans by the decades-long class warfare waged against the 99%. Now they're impossible to ignore. Stories like the US soldier in Iraq who committed suicide so that his wife could collect life insurance, and save their family home from foreclosure. Or the courtroom-suicide in Phoenix, in which a Yale-educated banker-swindler swallowed a cyanide capsule after being found guilty of setting his 10,000 sq foot McMansion on fire as a way of collecting insurance and evading mortgage payments he couldn't afford.
Despite the somewhat increased media attention given to these tragic stories nowadays, there is one suicide directly tied to foreclosure fraud that has been completely ignored by the media. Her name was Tracy Lawrence, and for a brief moment last year, between the moment she turned whistleblower and her untimely and bizarre suicide, Tracy Lawrence's testimony threatened to blow the entire fraud-closure criminal enterprise wide open, with repercussions that could have easily reverberated all the way up to the major banks and GSEs complicit in one of the greatest crimes this country has ever experienced.

With a view to action experience seems in no respect inferior to art, and men of experience succeed even better than those who have theory without experience. (The reason is that experience is knowledge of individuals, art of universals, and actions and productions are all concerned with the individual; for the physician does not cure man, except in an incidental way, but Callias or Socrates or some other called by some such individual name, who happens to be a man. If, then, a man has the theory without the experience, and recognizes the universal but does not know the individual included in this, he will often fail to cure; for it is the individual that is to be cured.) But yet we think that knowledge and understanding belong to art rather than to experience, and we suppose artists to be wiser than men of experience (which implies that Wisdom depends in all cases rather on knowledge); and this because the former know the cause, but the latter do not. For men of experience know that the thing is so, but do not know why, while the others know the 'why' and the cause. Hence we think also that the masterworkers in each craft are more honourable and know in a truer sense and are wiser than the manual workers, because they know the causes of the things that are done (we think the manual workers are like certain lifeless things which act indeed, but act without knowing what they do, as fire burns,-but while the lifeless things perform each of their functions by a natural tendency, the labourers perform them through habit); thus we view them as being wiser not in virtue of being able to act, but of having the theory for themselves and knowing the causes. And in general it is a sign of the man who knows and of the man who does not know, that the former can teach, and therefore we think art more truly knowledge than experience is; for artists can teach, and men of mere experience cannot.
Again, we do not regard any of the senses as Wisdom; yet surely these give the most authoritative knowledge of particulars. But they do not tell us the 'why' of anything-e.g. why fire is hot; they only say that it is hot.

Introduction First of all, I would like to thank Blizzard for creating a game that has passed more time and money away than any other game! I played Diablo off and on for over 3 years before Diablo 2 came out. I also am thankful that the items I would have changed were now in place, but for the most part, this article is NOT about reviewing Diablo 2, it is about getting the most from the game. If you want to pass this information along, please tell people about my pages. Don't [Continue Reading]

The Witnesses Now For Jesus conference has been held annually during October at the Blue Mountain Christian Retreat in New Ringgold, Pennsylvania since 1979. In 2017 we had our first annual Mid-West conference and in 2018 our first West Coast conference.
Since 1979 the Witnesses Now For Jesus conference has been a gathering place for exiting and ex-jehovah's Witnesses, those who are called to minister to Jehovah's Witnesses and others who are interested in or have been effected by the teachings and culture of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Why the name "Witnesses Now for Jesus"? Acts 1:8 (NIV) – "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Joan Cetnar hosted the Witnesses Now For Jesus with her husband Bill from it's inception in 1979 until 1991, when Bill passed away and then by herself until 2011. Since then a team has coordinated the conferences.

The Main Reasons for Hiring Professional Company Formation Consultants in the UAE
More and more entrepreneurs are seeking to establish new businesses in the United Arab Emirates. This is because there is a conducive business environment and the area is strategically positioned. Entrepreneurs also prefer it because it is well connected to air, water and road networks. Foreign investors can choose to register companies on their own but it is more advisable to hire consultants. This article explains the value of hiring a company formation consultant in the UAE.
When setting up a company in a new country, you are basically diving into the unknown. No matter how well prepared you are, you are still likely to encounter something you did not know about. A company formation consultant is usually from that country or has many years' experience working there. Such professionals are therefore the best people to answer all your questions and enlighten you. They will advise on all legal matters, best locations and cultural expectations among many other things. You will be able to make more informed decisions as a result.
There are many free zones in the UAE, some in Dubai and others in other cities. Each free zone has its own rules and is suitable for certain businesses. A professional consultant will be able to advise on the suitable free zone for you.
If it is your first time registering a company in the UAE, you may find the process hectic and tiring. There are a lot of documents that are required and many authorizations. The language may also be a problem especially for foreigners. When you hire a consultant, you are basically hiring someone to do all the heavy lifting on your behalf. When you let the expert handle the registration, you can direct your energy on your areas of expertise.
Not only is the process long and stressful, it also involves many details. There are many documents to be filled and a lot of signatures to be obtained. Some registrations become unsuccessful because a certain step was missed or certain documents filled incorrectly. A professional on the other hand knows all the steps, including the minor ones you might overlook. This is to say that you have the best chance of a successful registration when you hire an expert.
The more you do something many times, the better at it you become. Even with UAE offshore company formation, this statement is very true. A UAE company formation expert will know which doors to knock on and which people to call in every circumstance. They also have a professional relationship with the registering authorities. In other words, a professional consultant will not only achieve the desired results, they will also do it in record time. While the process might take weeks for you, a professional will get results in a matter of days.

Seriously, how fast are these weeks going? Not that I'm complaining that it's Friday again, helloooo gin.
To celebrate the end of the working week (can I get a 'hell yeaahh') I thought I'd do a little round up of five things I've been loving/wearing/listening to etc etc.
001: Instagram account I've been loving: @imhannahwhiting
With a feed full to the brim of pointy loafers, all things fluffy, and sassiness to boot, I'm forever getting wardrobe/general life envy!
002: Most played song: The Maccabees- Something Like Happiness
I went to see the babes that are The Maccabees not so long ago and quickly realised that every single song of theirs is a complete and utter toe-tapper. Including this one from their newest album, Marks to Prove it. Also, it helps that Orlando is pretty much the dream.
003: Most worn items:
Super busy weeks at work and attempting to stay on track with going to the gym four nights a week make for some seriously comfy clothes when I settle in for the night... enter these cosy suede slippers from Next, and bright pink vintage sweatshirt. A glass of red wine may or may not also be involved...
004: Fave quote:
Love love love love this. When the grind gets too much, just remember this, gals!! How much does it remind you of The Devil Wears Prada, though? That film always reminds me of my bestie, eating Malteasers and having a good ol' goss on her bed!
005: Fave new purchase:
I spotted these absolute beauties in Primark and raced them to the till before you could say "seriously Jess, more shoes?!". It was at said till, where I was told that they had been reduced to 6 pounds. 6 English pounds. They did actually rip my feet apart on their first outing to the office, but I just can't be mad at them.
Anyway I hope you enjoyed this little round up, and I hope you all have wonderfully sassy weekends! Now, where's that gin...
Jess x

They say, if you're suffering from an ailment, NEVER TURN TO THE INTERNET FOR ADVICE! Well, I bumped into a woman at the Clinique counter to get some day and night serum to ward off fine lines and wrinkles. But then we got to talking and she suggested using baking soda and water to buff the skin. I thought, SURE! I've got distilled water and a box in the fridge...
But because I wasn't sure about the ratios to mix, I went online. That's when I discovered a 2013 article WARNING AGAINST THE USE OF BAKING SODA ON THE SKIN!
The super LONGGGGGGG article is here if you want to reference it later for an exhaustive chemistry lesson on molecules. Granted, the article, written by Natalie Bell, was published on a skincare website called Futurederm, which sells its own line of products. So it would be in their best interest to steer people from home remedies in an effort to sell more stuff.
However, when I looked at the science behind it, I have a hard time arguing with the findings, which showed that baking soda, when combined with water, loses its "base" ph and actually becomes alkaline. For those who don't know, the 14-ph scale goes like this: 7 is considered base. Anything less is considered acidic. Anything higher is considered alkaline.
When it comes to the efficacy of skincare products, science tends to show that the more acidic the product is, the better it is at fixing and caring for skin. The reverse is also true. The more alkaline a product is, the less likely it will help. In fact, research, according to the article, has proven that alkaline products actually harm the epidermis and permanently.
Um, that's pretty scary. The whole point of the regimen is to help, hydrate and heal the skin--not destroy it.
That's when I started looking further into this scary claim that baking soda (registering an 8ph, which is alkaline), is harmful when used on the skin. But the more I looked, the less I saw that backed this up. What I did find, however, were scores of articles about the miracle of baking soda, especially on the skin.
I think I am going to sit on this a minute before I put baking soda on my face. I am not going to say that I agree or disagree with this just yet. Gonna hit pause and come back to this later.
What do you all think?

Unfortunately, Catherine's much younger new lover, the ambitious Platon Zubov, stands in his way. Grisha determines that to preserve Catherine's legacy he must save her from Zubov's dangerous influence and win back her heart.
Now...When she learns she is the lost heiress to the Romanov throne, Veronica Herrera's life turns upside down. Dmitry Potemkin, one of Grisha's descendants, invites Veronica to Russia to accept a ceremonial position as Russia's new tsarina. Seeking purpose, Veronica agrees to act as an advocate to free a Russian artist sentenced to prison for displaying paintings critical of the church and government.

Note on broadband
This report takes the roll-out of next generation broadband as its prerequisite starting point. The single area of consensus among all stakeholders was the need for free or affordable high speed broadband. This was viewed as the sine qua non of an internationally competitive digital sector.
Since DCENR is currently examining the responses to the NGB consultation paper, this report takes the roll-out of next generation broadband as the prerequisite starting point, and bypasses the current infrastructural dialogue in favour of a longer term assessment of the key emerging trends that will impact on Ireland's digital competitiveness.
6 Responses
Fair enough, and good to have that explained. But it is not clear that it is justified, especially on the "free or affordable" part. Where is the evidence from past or present government or service provider behaviour?
I agree with the above. Just one other comment, a writing point – could jargon and obscure abbreviations – defined as anything an average Irish citizen would not recognised – be avoided, or in proper Web style, linked to an explanation, here or in Wikipedia.
Thanks for the prompt response! There may be a typo in the first link, as it 404's.
Good progress, if badly belated, has been made on high-speed access in Ireland, but yes, more needs to be done, and especially on price. Compared to other cities, especially those with free wifi, the situation even in Dublin is a disgrace, and the service for visitors, even after paying extortionate fees, is often flaky. Home broadband with cable seems pretty robust in general, but other forms seem rather less reliable. I think "next generation broadband" (what is meant there anyway?) is a little advanced for now: let's try to get the basics working, and see off dial-up services.

Virginia's (Un)happy Hour: Is the State Restricting Ads and Economic Rights?
Regulatory Transparency Project Teleforum
Listen & Download
In Virginia, it's perfectly legal to have a happy hour; it's just illegal to talk about it. The state has several advertising restrictions that opponents claim are outdated and prevent businesses from communicating entirely truthful information about their legal happy hour practices--including the price of any drink. These laws affect entrepreneurs like Chef Geoff Tracy, who owns three restaurants in the DC metro area. In this Teleforum, Chef Geoff tells his story of how these restrictions have driven up the cost of doing business, how they have forced him to alter his successful business model, and why he ultimately decided to sue Virginia over them. Chef Geoff's attorney, Anastasia Boden of the Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), will discuss the lawsuit, explaining why she believes economic regulations are a growing threat to businesses and share what PLF is doing to fight for economic liberty and free speech in the courts.

In just a few hours, we'll be on our way to Chicago for Clicker Expo! "We" as in my husband and I (why yes, I do have the best husband ever, thank you very much), not "we" as in Maisy and I. Maisy will be staying with some fabulous family for the weekend, but can I just say how unfair it is that I'm going to a huge dog conference without my dog? I miss her already, and I haven't even dropped her off yet!
We will be back very late Sunday night, and then I have to turn around and promptly go off to a social work conference Monday morning, so it'll probably be a week or so until I can update again. But when I do, you can be assured that it will be with my usual in-depth seminar posts. If you're lucky, I'll even be able to talk my husband into a doing a guest post or two.
In the meantime, feel free to check out my Facebook page. I'm planning on giving mini-updates there throughout the weekend. Otherwise, I'll see you next week with the full report!

Character in User Interfaces
Been doing a lot more motion graphic stuff recently... I did a few motion studies for a talk at SXSW this year, exploring how motion in user interfaces can add character to menus and buttons. Character and motion are the next big steps into making technology approachable and liveable - no one has issues building interfaces, but making them enjoyable makes a huge difference.

Happy New Year!
Saturday, January 2, 2016
Transition Period
As I'm currently transitioning over to my new digs at
, I thought it'd be fitting to post a bunch of transition and loading animations I've made over the past 5 years. I've worked on so many of these, from Scholastic to PBS to Sesame Street, and it's been a consistently rewarding challenge. I don't think most people go to school for animation hoping to animate loading screens, but these were some of the most fun things I made.
CloudKid was pretty much a dream job, and I couldn't be more grateful to spend all my years straight out of school working with such a talented group of people. It was a lot of work and a lot of jumping into the deep end and we made
so much stuff
, but I learned more there than I did in all my years of school. As 2016 rings in the year of Jibo, I just want to say thanks to CloudKid - for hiring me, for trusting me, for pushing me to do new and incredible things. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for them.
So to any CloudKids who ever read this, thanks. See you on the flipside.

Wild at Heart
Tuesday, April 15, 2014
Channeling my wild side today: wearing leopard trousers. Anything leopard can be rather tricky when it comes to matching it with other items, so I kept the rest of the outfit a bit plain. Luckily I threw over a huge coat, 'cause the moment I stepped out the door this morning, it started raining like crazy again. The weather seems to be a weird mix of sun, wind and rain (or hail, yikes!) all at the same time lately. Hopefully it will be back to all sunshine soon!

Dalata Hotel Group is to lease two new hotels to be built in the UK.
A new 250-room Clayton Hotel is planned for Bristol, and a 330-room Maldron Hotel for Birmingham.
The Irish hotel group now has more than 1,700 rooms in its UK development pipeline on top of the 1,968 rooms that it already owns or leases.
The four-star Clayton hotel will be a conversion of the listed facade and the existing Natwest Court office building on Broad Street in the centre of Bristol
It is expected to open in the third quarter of 2020 subject to planning approval.
The four-star Maldron hotel is also subject to planning permission and is due to open in the first three months of 2021 adjacent to the Mailbox shopping centre in central Birmingham.
Dalata will commence operations in both hotels through 35 year operating leases.
The company already operates seven Clayton hotels in the UK, with two in London, Cardiff, Leeds, Birmingham, Belfast and Manchester airport. Two new Clayton hotels are also planned for Manchester and Glasgow.
Dalata operates Maldron hotels in Londonderry, Belfast and Belfast airport with a further property under construction in Newcastle and another one planned for Glasgow.
Dalata also operates 12 Clayton and 12 Maldron hotels in Ireland.
Deputy CEO Dermot Crowley said: "We are delighted to secure agreements to lease these two very exciting new hotels in the heart of Bristol and Birmingham.
"Both cities possess very strong hotel markets and these two projects demonstrate our ability to grow a very attractive development pipeline of hotels in the UK."

Body Brushing has been around for centuries the basic concept is to use a coarse dry brush to brush the skin in a pattern. This is a great cheep, easy and effective way to promote healthy skin.
How Often:
It's best to body brush daily, a great habit to get into is doing this before you get into the shower. The brush and your skin needs to be dry hence dry brushing.
Benefits of Body Brushing:
- Stimulate lymphatic system and help body get rid of toxins
- Increase circulation
- Removes dead skin layer
- Helps remove cellulite
- Strengthens immune system.
- Tighter skin, cell renewal, and blood flow
- Aids in digestion and kidney function
- Energizes
- Helps preventing stretch marks
How to Body Brush:
Try to do this in the morning because it does tend to energize you.
Use a natural bristle brush on dry skin.
You want to brush toward your heart
Long firm strokes with your dry brush. As a variant you can try circular strokes on your knees, thighs and bottom.
Brush each area several times.
Start with feet, move up legs front to back, both sides. I like to take some extra time on the cellulite prone areas.
Then brush your abdomen up to your chest ( be gentle on the breast area)
For your arms, start with your hands and brush toward the body.
On your back brush to your shoulder blades ( the long handle brush works great for this).
Then down your neck to your shoulders.
Should take 5 minutes or so.
Rinse off in the shower, some people like to turn the water from hot to cold in three cycles to further stimulate skin.
Pat skin dry and apply your favorite moisturizer or oil, coconut oil works great.
Don't brush to hard, skin should be invigorated and stimulated not irritated or red.
- Avoid sensitive areas and broken skin.
- For extra sensitive you can use a loofa instead of the brush.
- Use softer strokes and less pressure where skin is thinner and more pressure where its tougher.If feeling sick with a cold/flu increase your bushing time maybe even twice a day to help boost immunity.
- Stop brushing if an allergic reaction appears.
- Avoid brushing if in an active cancer state.
Here are some great video tips by Green Beauty Expert Sophie Uliano on Body Brushing:
How to care for your brush:
Wash your brush with soap and water once a week. Pad the bristles into a towel to remove excess water then dry your brush in an open sunny spot if you can to prevent mildew with bristles facing downward.

Police in Kasese are investigating circumstances under which
cultivators attacked pastoralists in Muhokya sub-county over a
disputed land.
Cultivators hailing from Kibiri village and other areas last night
reportedly attacked Kisongora Village about a kilometer from Muhokya
sub-county headquarters and butchered three cows and eight goats.
According to the Deputy Commander of the Field Force Unit in Kasese
Charles Sanya, three other cows were injured in the overnight.
The officer in Charge of Criminal Investigations at Kasese Central
Police Station Alex Ojok also confirmed the attacks saying police
officers have been deployed in Muhokya to bring the situation to
Ojok said that so far no one has been arrested since the attackers
took off with cow and goat meet over night.
The CID however, said five cultivators who engaged the pastoralists in
another fight yesterday afternoon are in custody and will be produced
in court tomorrow.
He said that a pastoralist who was injured in yesterday afternoon
engagement was being treated at Kilembe Hospital in critical
The disputed land is being claimed by Alex Kabalira of the Bahira clan
who say they are the ridge leaders of the area.
Both sides have not adhered to the order of the Kasese Deputy RDC
Aminadabu Muhindo who said no more activities be carried out until an
amicable solution is reached.

I know this isn't a great picture... he's pretty hard to catch in the right spot... and I know that is on a hummingbird feeder... maybe he was raised by hummingbirds??? I don't know.
This little guy showed up last Friday. At first I was confused... he was sitting on the back of the rocker on the front porch... just looking in the window. As the day progressed, he began to fly up to the window and peck on it... then he would land on the screen and just hang there, looking in. He has even landed on the back door to sit and peck on it. Everyday, several times a day, he goes through this same routine!
Mickey has suggested that he sees himself in the window and thinks that he has found another of his kind. You see, this little bird isn't generally found around here. They winter in Chille, and migrate to Canada in the summer to breed, then head back to Chille.... and we are pretty sure that at some point on the journey, he became lost. And now... he is here all alone. I called a local newswriter, who happens to be a huge birding enthusiast, and I asked her opinion on what we could do. She said, "He is just going to have to figure out this isn't where he belongs, and then move on to where he is supposed to be."
I've thought about that alot over the past few days... I've decided that this little bird is sure a lesson in our Christian walk. Sometimes we go places we shouldn't... be it from a conscious choice or just by merely following the crowd, and we end up where God just doesn't want us. And like this little bird, we end up "beating our beaks" on the window or door, trying to find a different path... or someone to help us find our way home. And all the while, we haven't really figured out where we are SUPPOSED to be... we just know that it isn't where we are. Once this little guy figures our he isn't supposed to be here, we hope that he will move on and find his family... because while he isn't alone in our yard... we have tons of different types of birds... he is still lonely. We can also be lonely in a crowd when we aren't supposed to be where we are. That is when we need to turn around and walk away... or maybe walk away isn't the best choice of words... maybe I should say we "walk toward" where we were supposed to be in the first place!

1. Introduction
The Insolvency Rules 1986 have been revoked and the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016 (IR 2016) come into force today. There are 22 Parts and 11 Schedules. Each Part is intended to cover a specific process or area, for example:
- Part 2: CVAs
- Part 3: Administrations
- Part 6: CVL
- Part 7: Winding up by the court
- Part 10: Bankruptcy
- Part 12: Court procedure and practice
- Part 14: Claims and distributions
- Part 22: Prohibited names (s.216)
Why the new rules?
- "a significant degree of future-proofing, as there will be less need for amendment to accommodate advancements in technology, business practice, and to enable e-delivery": see Explanatory Memorandum to the IR 2016
- Streamlining, restructuring, clarity, simplicity, changes in policy, modernisation and a reduction in the cost of administering estates (with improved dividends for creditors)
General points of note:
- There is a table of specific information required to identify persons and proceedings: see r.1.6.
- There are standard content requirements for numerous documents, for example notices for court proceedings and results of decisions: see Part 1 Chapters 4-8.
- Prescribed formats: r.1.8. You may depart from the requirements of a rule stating the contents of a document where either (i) the circumstances require a departure or (ii) the departure is immaterial, however compliance is essential on (i) titles of documents and (ii) statutory demands: see r.1.9.
- Any application (other than an application for an administration order, a winding up petition or a bankruptcy petition) must comply with the list of requirements: r.1.35.
- There is no longer any need to use a prescribed form, unless Schedule 2 para 15 applies, which provides four circumstances in which an old form "may" be used. This rule does not apply retrospectively.
2. Transitional provisions:
The transitional provisions are numerous: see Introductory Rule 4 and Schedule 2. Whether the IR 1986 rules continue to apply will depend on the facts of your matter, however there are numerous times when the old rules will continue to apply, but these will over time be few and far between.
3. Small debts
Which processes does this apply to?
Administration, winding up and bankruptcy: see r.14.1(1)
What is a debt?
- The definition of a bankruptcy debt is retained: see s.382 IA 1986;
- "Debt" for the purposes of administration and winding up means any debt or liability to which the company is subject on or before the relevant date or may become subject to after the relevant date, including any interest: see r.14.1(3). There are provisions within Part 14 as to calculation of interest and set-off/mutual dealings;
- For corporate insolvency, this includes tortious liability: see r.14.1(4); and
- The definition of debt or liability is very broad: see r.14.1(5-6).
What is a "small debt"?
This is the total debt where it does not exceed £1,000: see r.14.1(3).
When is the relevant date? R.14.1(3)
- When the company enters into administration or went into liquidation, that date;
- When the company enters into administration and is immediately preceded by winding up, or vice versa, the earlier of the two; and
- For bankruptcy it is the date of the bankruptcy order.
How does it work?
- R.14.31: the office-holder "may" treat a debt, which is a small debt according to (i) accounting records or (ii) the statement of affairs of the company or bankrupt, as if it were proved for the purpose of paying a dividend. There exists discretion here (which no doubt the IR 2016 intend for office-holders to utilise), but if the discretion is exercised there are four fixed requirements: see r.14.31(2).
- A creditor is deemed to have proved for a debt for the purposes of determination and payment of a dividend, but not otherwise, where (see r.14.3(3):
(a) The debt is below £1,000
(b) A notice had been delivered to the creditor of an intention to declare a dividend (pursuant to r.14.29) and that notice complies with r.14.31; and
(c) The creditor has not advised the office-holder that the debt is incorrect or not owed in response to the notice. The office-holder can create a list of small debts and send this out to small debt creditors: see r.14.31(3).
4. Officeholder reports and communications
From 6 April 2017, creditors can opt out of communications from the office-holder pursuant to r.1.36-1.39, for example when they feel that there appears to be no real prospect of a distribution. They can opt back in at any time.
The office-holder must provide certain information upon first communication with the creditors (r.1.39 – unless the first communication took place before 6 April 2017, pursuant to the transitional provision), and must continue to send the following documents to opted-out creditors (r.1.37):
- a notice required to be delivered to all creditors pursuant to IA 1986
- a notice of change of office-holder or contact details
- notices of distribution or intended distribution and
- any other documents required by the Rules.
Creditors are deemed to have given their consent to be contacted by the office-holder by electronic communication (r.1.45). This applies unless the relevant order was made before 6 April 2017 (Sch 2 para 3) and:
- when they had customarily communicated in that way with the debtor pre-insolvency; and
- when they had not expressly revoked such deemed consent to e-communication
Office-holders can now give notice that all future notices will be placed on a specified website and retained on the website for at least two months after the end of the insolvency process (r.1.49-1.51). This excludes documents requiring personal delivery, notices of intention to declare a dividend, or documents not 'delivered' generally and you no longer require the court's permission to do so.
This should make the office-holder's task more efficient and in line with modern working practices.
Progress reports
The officeholders' obligation to circulate progress reports every 6 to 12 months (depending upon the procedure – rr.18.6-18.8) is fixed by reference to the date of first appointment and is unaffected by the appointment of another insolvency practitioner. This provision will have immediate effect in all cases from 6 April 2017, but the obligations under the previous rules will continue to apply to any obligation to file a report which arose, but has not been fulfilled before that date. Note: the reintroduction of requirement of the administrator's progress report upon conversion of administration to CVL, rather than simply the notice to the Registrar of Companies (r.3.60).
Statement of affairs
A statement of affairs in an administration will protect the privacy of the company's employees, ex-employees and consumer customers by displaying their details in a separate schedule and only summarising their claims within the body of the statement (r.3.30(6)).
If the Official Receiver is concerned that publication of some or all of a bankrupt's statement of affairs would either prejudice the conduct of the bankruptcy or might reasonably be expected to lead to violence against the bankrupt, an application can be made to the court that the statement is either not filed or its disclosure restricted (r.10.57).
The old rules on statements of affairs continue to apply if the relevant order was made before 6 April 2017 (Sch 2 para 4).
5. Automatic appointment of OR as first rustee in bankruptcy
From 6 April 2017 s.287 IA 1986 ('Receivership pending appointment of trustee') will be amended: a new s.291A will provide that, instead of becoming Receiver and Manager of the bankrupt's estate pending appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, the Official Receiver will immediately be appointed as trustee upon the making of a bankruptcy order, unless the court appoints the IVA supervisor as trustee.
There is now no delay between the making of the bankruptcy order and the automatic vesting of property in a trusttee. This new provision applies where bankruptcy order made on or after 6 April 2017 and where an order was made before 6 April 2017 but no TiB has been appointed by 6 April 2017.
There will be no need to call creditors' meeting under ss.293-295 IA 1986 to appoint a first trustee in bankruptcy, as those provisions are omitted from the updated version of IA 1986. Furthermore, the OR can still be removed as trustee under amended s.298 IA 1986, using a modified procedure which is consistent with the new rules on creditors' decision-making.
6. IPs as interim receivers
Previously an IP could only be appointed as an interim receiver ahead of a bankruptcy petition hearing in quite limited circumstances (on debtors' petitions). The amendments to s.286 IA 1986 now permit the court to appoint an IP as interim receiver in all circumstances (the OR may also be appointed as interim receiver, as previously): rr.10.49-10.54.
7. Creditors' meetings replaced with "deemed consent" and "decision procedures"
There have been creditors' meetings similar to today's since the late nineteenth century. One of the ambitious aims of the new rules is to replace creditors' meetings in almost all circumstances with more modern decision-making processes.
The ways that decisions are made under the new rules may be divided into two categories:
(a) the deemed consent procedure, and
(b) decision procedures.
The "deemed consent procedure" is a way of making decisions but, confusingly, not a "decision procedure" under the rules (see s.246ZE and 379ZA of the Act).
Deemed consent
Under the deemed consent procedure, the person seeking a decision from creditors, normally the insolvency practitioner (IP), sends a proposal to creditors. If she does not receive objections from a minimum number of creditors, the creditors are deemed to have approved the proposal.
The deemed consent procedure can be used for most decisions under the Act. Most importantly, it cannot be used for decisions about the IP's remuneration, conduct or release, nor for approving IVAs and CVAs.
There are detailed regulations about what the IP's notice must contain. Unfortunately, these are not contained in one place. There are regulations for corporate insolvency (s.246ZF) and personal insolvency (s.379ZB) in the Act, regulations for both cases in the rules (r.15.7), standard regulations for all notices (r.1.4-1.5 and r.1.29-1.31) and additional regulations in particular cases. Most importantly, the notice must identify the proceedings in question, the IP's proposed decision and the consequences of objecting or not doing so.
The rules about service are no easier. The IP sending out the notice must calculate when the notice will be deemed to be served. There are nine rules about that (r.1.42-50), including r.1.43 under which the date of service may depend on whether the sender and recipient belong to the same document exchange. The IP must then calculate the minimum notice required – this depends on which of the 17 categories (see r.15.11) the matter falls into.
Unless the IP receives objections from 10% of the creditors by value, 10% of the creditors by number or 10 creditors, then creditors are deemed to have approved the proposal. If the IP does, the creditors are deemed not to have made a decision about the matter. If the IP wants to pursue the matter, he must do so by a "decision procedure".
Decision procedures
The rules identify four specific decision procedures:
(a) correspondence
(b) electronic voting
(c) virtual meetings, and
(d) physical meetings.
There is a residual category - "any other decision making procedure which enables all creditors who are entitled to participate in the making of the decision to participate equally".
The legislator appears to frown on physical meetings. They are only permitted in limited circumstances, normally only where there has been a request for a meeting by 10% of the creditors by value, 10% of the creditors by number or 10 creditors.
Again, the decision-making process begins with the IP sending out a notice. Again, there are a detailed regulations about what the notice must contain: regulations for all decision procedures (r.15.8), regulations for specific procedures (r.15.4-15.6), regulations for all notices (r.1.4-1.5 and r.1.29-1.31), and specific regulations for specific cases. The same rules about deemed service and minimum notice apply.
For the most part, decisions are made by majority according to value.
There are rules dealing with the inevitable cases where a creditor claims to be unable to take part in a decision process (because, for instance, they cannot access a website or connect to a conference call). These rules contain short time limits.

You know when you lose your bank card and they send out a new card and PIN with the letter proclaiming in thick black ink:
"Do not write your PIN number down."
You read it, memorize it and discard it (usually in a hundred different pieces after you've taken great pleasure in ripping it up).
Then when you set up a new email address it asks you for your security question which is usually something like:
"What was the name of your first pet?"
To which you duly type the answer knowing you could not possibly ever forget such an important pup...
Well the whole thing is getting to be just a little bit of a joke....
I have three e-mail addresses: one for writing, one for social and one I use to sign upto things which I suspect will at somepoint send me junkmail (no, not those kind of things! Honestly some people just jump to the worst possible conclusions...)
Each email address has a different password and subsequently a different security question. I use one of them to log on to Facebook, a different one for Twitter and the third one for logging onto Blogspot. Each of these sites also has a unique username and password totally different from the email accounts. Combined with my password for YouTube, the three different pieces of information required to do Internet Banking (Username, Pin, and security word) aswell as all the PIN's I have for different cards in my pocket...well its all just getting a bit much to be honest.
I spent the best part of forty five minutes today trying to log onto blogspot because A) I couldnt get the right E-Mail address. B) Couldn't supply the right password and C) For the life of me could not recall if I had remembered to capitalize the first letter's of my secondary school when I first entered the security question's answer.
NIGHTMARE! (*shakes fist angrily at technology once again*)
Anyway I digress, rant over, promise.
Started on my 7-3 week this week and although I loathe the early mornings (honestly why did god rest on the seventh day? Couldnt he just have had a long lie every morning? We all have to work Sundays anyway!) I do have to admit that I secretely love this shift.
Its not that the work is any different, infact its all the same regardless of what time of day or what day of the week it is. It's the fact that I have those blissful two hours between 3-5 to indulge in writing. Chapter twelve is hand-written and to be honest I struggled abit. Writing about emotion and making it feel genuine is incredilbly hard, but i persisted and hopefully it translates well when I type it up (which may or may not be tonight...I can hear my bed calling me!) I tend to find I get more writing done in this one week than I do over every weekend I have in a month! But today something different happened...
I refer to the title 'Conversation with a stranger' although it wasn't really a stranger, but then it kind of was. A person I know sat down beside me today and told me an incredible, really quite fascinating story about their life that I had no idea about. It was fascinating, and sad.
The story was sad in that it caused massive upheavel, to the point which is difficult to comprehend-unless you've experienced it-in this persons life.It was also sad that I had worked beside this person for almost a year and had never taken the time to get to know them.
It got me thinking about how well we really know people...the reality is we don't, save a rare few. A handful of close friends, our families, if your lucky then you'll know the person you love as well as you know yourself. But all the others, they are strangers really. We may pass them in the hallway everyday, sit and discuss politics over lunch (incindentally recently discovered this is NOT an effective topic of conversation when trying to woo prospective partners, go figure?) but we never really know them.
Is it because we're all so self obsessed?
Lol, I can see what your thinking. "Nope, thats not it Phoenix, I'm not self-obsessed" ...if your not, then its a shame.
Its important to care about your own life, your the one thats living it, youve got to give it direction and purpose and if your not living to make yourself happy then why are you bothering? But that doesnt mean we have to be solely wrapped up in our own little worlds.
The world is full of incredible people, and every single one of them has a story. You probably sit next to them on the train, or say 'Hi' to them in the supermarket and for the most part you'll never give their stories a second thought...but I dare you to.
Ask a question, and listen to the answer. Say hello to a stranger and give them a smile. Phone up an old friend you havent seen in years and genuinely ask "How are things?" I dare you to make a difference to that persons day.
I learned an important lesson today. The person told me of a hard time they went through in their life, a time when they fell hard and things must have seemed so bleak. But they never failed.
As hard as it must have been they picked themselves back up and started again. I have a new found respect for this person because they had the strength to keep going even when they were hardest hit.
People really are incredible.
Go out and make some new friends, hug a stranger, get to know someone...
I dare you.

Be Cheap
Most builders wont need and wont want to purchase the most expensive mainboards and CPUs currently available. If I were to give the first-time builder just one piece of advice, it would be to avoid the most expensive top-of-the-line components, such as the fastest CPU, the biggest hard drive, the most expensive video card, and the RAM type that is currently newest and still being innovated.
You pay dearly for the most current components. Real world performance is usually just as good if you purchase slightly less than the fastest or newest components. And, youll save a bundle of money.
