A new find...
Sunday, July 10, 2011
Now, I will be the first to admit... Authentique is not a style that I would usually get excited about. However, the first thing that caught my eye was the 'grey'. I'm a huge fan of grey but never get to play with it in my scrapping because it's not often used by manufacturers. So when I spied a company who was willing to use 'grey' as the new black I was totally intrigued to the point that I made my first purchase and waited patiently for the postman to arrive.
Okay, I know this layout is very different for me with all the florals etc and not a critter in sight, but gee I had fun. And it was so nice to do a layout just for me... no deadline, no theme, no products I had to use... just for fun!
Now, I can honestly say that Authentique products are better in person than veiwing them on-line... the quality is superb, so much so that your paper gives that delightfully crisp cutting sound when you are snipping away with your scissors.
The large alphas are quite thick which made them perfect for cutting around each letter and still have them hold their shape. The mini alphas and words won't fall off your page in a hurry as they peel beautifully from their packaging and stick fast once down.
I decided to re-create the floral pattern by hand stitching larger versions of it on the background cardstock which of course had to be grey. I then added hints of chalk inside the stitched areas just to highlight the pattern.
Well that's it for my project and I must say, I think I'm going to have to down tools on required projects a bit more often and simply scrap for the fun.
From farm to you...

Yes Melinda, it sure looks all so very magical...beautifully styled by you too...lovely!ReplyDelete
Melinda - Wow. Your work is amazing. I share your love of grey, which is why I insisted it be a part of our inaugural release. It's wonderful to hear how you recognized the quality of our products. The weight and texture of our papers and stickers are as important to our process as the designs themselves. It is refreshing that these details were not lost on you. You are clearly a pro, which only makes your feedback that much more meaningful.ReplyDelete

Even in a down economy, a raft of new mobile devices is tempting consumers and inevitably, the corporate workforce. Rumors abound that a new iPhone will be released next month along with Palm's Pre and more smartphones based on Google's Android platform are in the works.
The new features and form factors offer consumer more choice, but the new phones are going to be a management headache for IT departments, according to industry experts.
"It's going to get worse because, where it used to be Windows Mobile and Research in Motion's BlackBerry and Symbian in Europe, now everyone is competing in the smartphone marketplace," said analyst Jack Gold, who heads J.Gold Associates. "You add the iPhone, Android and Palm's Pre, that gets pretty difficult. Most companies can't handle that many."
Gold said some company's might choose to restrict what employees can do with some of the newer devices. "Like if you're just going to do e-mail, that's fine," he told InternetNews.com. "But then that restricts the benefits of mobility if you can't run other apps."
Apple's iPhone supports Microsoft's Exchange Server, so in terms of corporate e-mail it is compatible. But enterprise mobile management firm Odyssey Software said Apple doesn't offer nearly the level of manageability big companies are used to for Windows Mobile devices and RIM's BlackBerry line.
"There are some very exciting platforms, like the iPhone, that have raised the user experience and our customers are coming to us and asking us for the same management features we offer for Windows Mobile," Mark Gentile, president and CEO of Odyssey Software, told InternetNews.com.
Odyssey has been developing for Windows Mobile devices since 1998. Gentile says BlackBerry and iPhone support are the two biggest requests his company's hearing from enterprise customers. He said Odyssey recently evaluated BlackBerry and concluded it could extend the same depth of services it offers for Windows Mobile and such a move is being considered.
Hitting the iPhone's limits
However, a similar analysis left Odyssey to conclude it can't, at this time, extend to the iPhone. Read more about the problems iPhone and other new mobile platforms face at InternetNews.com.

Emile Short advocates inclusiveness
Justice Emile Francis Short, the former Commissioner of Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), on Monday urged for more inclusiveness in the governance system of the country, to enhance good governance.
He expressed worry that under the current practice of "winner takes all" where all other Ghanaians who do not belong to the ruling party, were excluded from national governance and decision making, did not promote good governance.
Justice Short suggested that after the election the constitutional review process should be continued, to seek proposals from Ghanaians on the best form of governance.
He made these remarks during the third edition of Media Foundation for West Africa's (MFWA) "Town Hall meeting on Ghana's 2016 Election" in Accra.
Themed, 'Making Ghana's 2016 election peaceful- The role of stakeholders", the event brought together representatives from the Electoral Commission, Ghana Police Service, National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Christian Council, Office of the Chief Imam and political party representatives.
Justice Short said "the winner takes all" form of governance had led to the marginalisation of people, who were capable of contributing their quota to the development of Ghana, stressing that the practice did not promote democratic governance in the country.
The former CHRAJ boss expressed concern about the formation of vigilante groups, and urged the Police Administration to put in measures to dissolve such groups.
According to Justice Short, their activities posed a threat to national security and the 2016 elections.
Justice Short expressed hope in the Electoral Commission, saying they should work hard to instill confidence into Ghanaians before, during and after the 2016 elections.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Vance Gariba of the Nima Police Command said the Police Service had gone through modern trends of policing, and were ready to protect the country.
He, however, cautioned that the police would deal with those who would engage in violence during the elections.
"We shall clamp down fiercely on anyone who tries to cause any disturbance in our country because Ghana comes first," he stressed.
The stakeholders highlighted the interventions they had put in place for peaceful elections, and the representatives of the political parties pledged to obey rules that govern elections in the country.

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me…I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:35-40
Our Objectives
In Matthew 28:18—20, Jesus told us the goal of all this was "to make disciples." It is our hope that those who are deeper in faith of Christ, will reach out to those who are not yet strong in theirs. If we all gave of ourselves to a few people, we could one day, "turn the world upside down." (Acts17:6). This is how Jesus did it.

Introducing the International Space Station's Radio, iRobot Radio.
The following information is important to read, before activating.
The ISS Neuroacoustic Research Experiment:
Although Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is beginning to serve multiple purposes, in most regards for the safety of the crew aboard the International Space Station (ISS), their purpose in this Neuroacoustic Research Experiment is a therapeutic one. This purpose of this experiment is the development of a program to reduce stress on astronauts, who work in the most dangerous environments of space.
Robots currently assigned to the ISS are Robonaut 2 (R2, aka DJ Que), Valkyrie and the latest female prototype, A.I. AURA. Each is programmed to provide a unique therapeutic program, using a scientific process known as brainwave synchronization.
In this process, carefully chosen musical tracks, containing select isochronic tones and dynamic binaural bass beats, are transmitted through human brain waves simultaneously across "Binaural Frequencies". Theoretically, psychological healing can be achieved below the threshold of conscious perception. This project has been adequately named, Machine Love. Electronic Music Therapy is now broadcasting from above and beyond.
GENRE: This is a Cosmic Electronic Space Lounge Genre. AURA is programmed for recharging, providing downtempo tracks. Robonaut is programmed to energize, by providing midtempo plus. No Explicit music! Select tracks are chosen in the highest quality for deep bass and clear tones. Most music is in FLAC format and may take a moment to activate, depending on your internet speed.
NOTE: Over-The-Ear Stereo Headphones are required, in order to receive the therapeutic benefits intended by this experimental research program.
The ISS Earth Viewing Experiment:
The HD Earth Viewing Experiment was activated in 2014 and includes several commercial HD video cameras aimed at the earth, which are enclosed in a pressurized and temperature controlled housing. While the cameras collect beautiful images of the earth from the station, the primary purpose of the experiment is an engineering one. The crew of the ISS monitors the rate at which the HD video camera image quality degrades when exposed to the space environment, mainly from radiation damage. The experiment also helps verify the effectiveness of the design of the housing for the thermal control.
The ISS orbits earth every 92 minutes at 17,150 miles per hour (that's about 5 miles per second!) Half of it's orbit is spent on the dark side of the earth, created the earth's shadow. The result being, each day and night lasts approximately 46 minutes. Therefore, the crew enjoys a beautiful sunrise or sunset every 46 minute.
Astronauts aboard the ISS keep an active Earth View Camera facing the earth at all times. However, the camera goes dark every other 46 minutes, due to the earth's shadow obstructing the view (indicated by a temporary black screen). A loss of signal is indicated by a blue screen. When possible, a pre-recorded video is provided during dark times. In addition, a "LIVE" message is displayed to indicate the Camera is actually on.

These photos are from Miners Beach in Port Macquarie. Unofficially known as a nudists beach, this particular spot is a hidden gem from the main Miners Beach because of its rockiness.
On this day, my husband had some office work to wrap up. So I decided to venture out on my own. That gave me a few hours to myself. And I love my me-time.
While walking up to the lookout point via Shelly Beach to Miners, I saw a wooden stairway going down towards a beach. I thought maybe that's the main beach. I was curious to check out what is this beach like and a little scared of running into naked people. Anyway, I still made my way down, walking cautiously, if I see any nudists, I'd make a u-turn back. But my good luck or whatever, this part of the Miners Beach was empty! I made myself at ease, settling myself on a comfy rock and gazing all around, just to be sure. It was so serene and it's just me and my solitude, with whole beach to myself! 😀
I sat here for a long time, with my thoughts, with my writing, with my book, occasionally playing in sea, trying to take in all the sea salt in the air. Talking to the sea. I must have been here for 2-3 hours. I realise now that my back is all sun burnt😋 … In the first photo you can see that this side of Miners Beach is filled with colourful pebbles. In fact, there was a butterfly too, fluttering around! I was wondering what is she doing on a beach as there was no flower but just pebbles and she was hopping from one pebble to another. Then I saw a green winged dragonfly. Made me feel like I am in a mystical island 🌴😯!
But that's a day, a time that I'll always cherish. There was a lot of inner dialogue exchange that happened within myself. That's the sea effect you see! I read somewhere, whenever you find yourself near a sea, start meditating. Maybe there's a direct connect.
Regardless, I am so thankful for that day, that moment. ❤

Money isn't everything, but the salary you pay your employees directly impacts their standard of living. Consequently, top talent won't stay in their jobs for long if they're being underpaid.
The departure of your best and brightest employees would likely wreak havoc on your organization, so ensuring these individuals remain properly compensated should be a top priority. While there's no steadfast rule governing the appropriate time to dole out raises, this is generally decided annually when performance reviews are given.
If the time has come to give your top employees a much-deserved raise, use these tips to determine the size of each person's salary bump.
Research Market Rate
Find out how the employee's salary compares to other local professionals with similar jobs by conducting research on sites like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and PayScale.com. This will give you a good starting point to base the person's raise on. If you find they're currently underpaid, it may be wise to give them a bit more than intended, so they're earning a little above the average salary range. After all, if you're not willing to pay a competitive salary for your top professionals, another company will be happy to step in.
Assess Performance & Overall Value
Even with top talent, raises should never be awarded due to feelings of obligation. Granting salary increases for no justifiable reason gives employees no incentive to work hard. Carefully examine each person's contributions to the company since their last raise. This may be easier for some employees than others (Ex. you can easily track the amount of revenue a sales professional has brought in) but do your best.
Take Your Budget Into Account
No matter what, never give raises your company can't afford to pay. Giving a smaller pay increase or none at all is much better than eventually going bankrupt because your company can't handle payroll expenses. If you can't afford to grant the sizable raise an employee deserves, offer enticing fringe benefits. This may include anything from extra vacation days and work from home benefits to the ability to bring their dog to work.

Third Party Car Insurance Premium will Rise
- DetailsWritten by PolicyBazaar -
- Hits : 36350 -
Modified 19 December 2017
Third Party Car Insurance in India
Automobile insurance in India is an industry that has faced lot of problems over the past few years. The risk exposure of this industry and decrease in profitability has made very tough for insurance companies to operate but as third party insurance cover is set to rise, these companies may find it little easier to operate.
Insurance Regulatory Authority of India has recently announced changes to the third party car insurance clause which is mandatory for every vehicle owner and has increased car insurance premium for this particular clause. The third party car insurance cover is mandatory and controlled by insurance regulator and its tariffs are also controlled by it.
New Premium for Third Party Car Insurance
As per the new tariffs, private car owners would have to pay premium subjected to the size of the vehicles. The hike would be in the range of 6-40 per cent and effective from 01-April, 2013.
Motor third party insurance is obligatory for all working vehicles. So an individual will need to buy this cover even before you can take your car out of the showroom. The policy covers you in case the insured vehicle causes harm to life or property of a third party. The insurance cover is only provided in case of an accident and not if the act is deliberate or with an illegal intent.
An individual can get auto insurance quote from several sources. Auto insurance quote can be obtained through insurance aggregators online which has emerged as most convenient mode of obtaining insurance quotes over the few years.
The quotes can also be obtained via preferred insurance provider website as well. The other modes of obtaining third party car insurance quotes are via direct agents and directly through insurance companies by visiting their premises.
The main difference between both these methods is the ease and convenience offered by online techniques. An individual can buy auto insurance online while sitting at home which helps in further reduction in insurance quotes due to automatic reduction in travel costs and utility costs.

Automobile insurance in India must be bought with clear intent of securing yourself against potential risks and accidents and not with intent to fulfill legal obligations. A comprehensive car insurance plan can save you from any financial setback while third party car insurance cover can save you from damages claimed by third party in case your vehicle is involved in an accident.

Five things about Q3 office leasing in the Sacramento areaSacramento Business Journal
Companies continued to suck up available space during the third quarter of 2016 in the Sacramento regional market. Kidder Mathews tracked 360,783 square feet of absorption in July through September, bringing the vacancy rate to 12.2 percent. Kevin Sheehan, managing partner at Kidder Mathews, said he believes the office market is the strongest it's been in at least four years. Here are more insights:
1. Squeeze for space
Sheehan said much of the activity is fueled by a lack of new space coming online in recent years.
2. Looking at second choices
With no new space, and the existing best space gobbled up, more firms are looking at class B/C buildings as an option, Sheehan said.
3. Gap still seen in rents
To build a new suburban office building would cost $2.70 a square foot, Sheehan said. Even the best Highway 50 corridor buildings are at about $1.85 a square foot now.
4. Downtown has ingress, egress
Some firms are still looking for downtown Sacramento space, but others, concerned about traffic, would like to be somewhere a bit more sedate.
5. Strong winds to keep blowing
Not only do most experts expect the fourth quarter to remain positive, they expect all of 2017 to be positive as well, Sheehan said.

text: MAKE AN IMPACT. MAKE A DIFFERENCE! 26 December, 2016 Posted In : Blog 0 : comment There are necessities. And then, there are luxuries. It's very disheartening to see we live in a world in which some people have the freedom to spend lavishly whereas others struggle to buy the necessities. It's high time that we ask ourselves this question, "Do we really need this? Will this make a significant difference in my life if I don't buy it?" If the answer is yes, go for it. But if it isn't, it'll be a divine thing if you can use that money to buy someone else their share of necessities. This was the most important lesson I learnt during my internship at CRY. Throughout the course of my internship, I did surveys, studied the data, interacted with and taught numerous children from the slums. During this, I realized how enthusiastic and cheerful those children are. No means to afford interesting gadgets or modern toys. With hardly any means to afford necessities such as medicines and stationery items for their education, they stand ever so tall with jubilant hearts and a contagious smile. They laugh their lungs out and have fun with whatever little things they have or are provided with. This really shows that it's not like only wealthy people are happy. By teaching them their subjects I learnt how to be content with whatever you already have. This internship undoubtedly gave a new meaning to my life, which has changed me for the good. I believe it is the duty of each and every individual to ensure that these children receive the basic necessities so that they can lead a normal life without any hurdle to their health, education and well-being. During the course of my internships, I also came to know of the ground realities. Falling ill is a nightmare for them because their diseases either go unnoticed or if not, parents have no means to afford the treatment. The impact of tropical diseases on them is devastating. They lose their childhood battling diseases and in many unfortunate cases, children also succumb to these diseases at a very tender age. Also, in the absence of education and the pressure to earn money for a living forces them into child labor. Is this what childhood is meant for? The image of a child working at factories or a showroom or selling articles at traffic signals or working anywhere for that matter is one of the most heart-breaking sights. The internship with CRY helped me get close to them, understand them, work for them so that they can have a brighter future. Today I stand tall, proud of myself since I grabbed the opportunity to help with both hands and made an impact which was life-changing for me and I'd like to believe I made an impact in their lives too. So the next time, instead of that burger from McDonalds, I would like to buy someone happiness. Instead of that swanky car, I'd be thrilled to buy someone their smile. Instead of that fancy gadget, I'd be most honored to buy someone a life. My advice to everyone out there would be- Let's make a difference. Lend a hand and be a part of the revolution!

Several "widely used" medications, including antipsychotics and osteoporosis drugs commonly prescribed to the elderly, are the focus of new lawsuits. The litigation stems from allegations of covering up associated side effects, according to a New York Times report.
Specifically, the lawsuits are targeting the antipsychotic Seroquel; the hormone replacement therapy Prempro; and the osteoporosis treatment Fosamax. Seroquel has links with weight gain and increased risk for diabetes; Fosamax has been linked with severe jaw decay; and Prempro has a link with increased risk for breast cancer, according to clinical trial data submitted to the Food and Drug Administration.
According to plaintiffs' lawyers, drug makers "hid early indications of the side effects and improperly marketed their medicines," the Times reports.

Futurists: Oracles or Commanders
Sam Ghandchi
Related article in Persian
آینده نگری چیست؟
There are times in history that an individual or a group is challenged with a task, for which they had never planned for. It is ironic that the futurists, who are known for planning, are facing such a dilemma in our times, being asked to be commanders rather than oracles, something for which they had not planned for. Before I explain my point further, let me first mention an incident this month.
There was an article in the Wired Magazine entitled "Futurism is Dead", by an ex-staff of WFS. In response, Cindy Wagner, the editor of The Futurist Magazine of World Future Society (WFS), has written an excellent rebuttal, entitled "Futurism is NOT Dead", which thoroughly answers all the issues raised. It is interesting that the Wired' s article was complaining why the Futurists are not prophets with greater hits, and of course the answer would be what C. Huygens wrote over three hundred years ago in 1698 that:
"I can't pretend to assert anything as positively true (for that would be madness) but only to advance a probable guess, the truth of which every one is at his own liberty to examine. If anyone therefore shall gravely tell me, that I have spent my time idly in a vain and fruitless enquiry after what by my own acknowledgment I can never come to be sure of; the answer is, that at this rate he would put down all Natural Philosophy as far as it concerns itself in searching into the Nature of things: In such noble and sublime Studies as these, 'tis a Glory to arrive at Probability, and the search itself rewards the pain." (Quoted from Plurality of Worlds, Steven J. Dick, Cambridge University Press, 1982, P. 176).
What is the Real Grievance?
I think there is something else at work here. I think futurists in the last 40 years have basically thought of their role to be that of an oracle, of course with the caveats expressed by Huygens. And basically world development of the last half century proved Modern Futurists to be right. Not because of predicting adoption of email, when USPS is still making money by postage stamps, that the Wired author is worried about; and Cindy Wagner has utterly answered, but because futurists, as early as Bertrand De Jouvenel and Ossip K. Flechtheim, predicted that a new civilization beyond capitalism and socialism was being formed, which later Daniel Bell called post-industrial society, and in reality the post-industrial information society has proved to be a right prediction. So when reviewing the last half century, the futurists have earned a very top grade as oracles.
I think what is bothering the information society enthusiasts is the reality of the unbelievable failure of the new economy in the last three years, particularly in its birthplace of Silicon Valley of California, with massive unemployment, and their anguish is actually an expression of their desire for the futurist oracles to fix this situation of the high tech. And of course, that is a problem which cannot not be solved by oracles and it needs commanders.
WFS, the biggest futurist organization worldwide, is being asked to take a leading political role to reverse the 3-year failure of information society, which is highlighted in the demise of the technology centers in the U.S. and abroad. In other words, futurism is not dead. Silicon Valley is dead and a new leadership is needed, and not new individuals with the same failed party platforms of the old parties.
Now looking at WFS, it has basically seen its role as a sounding board of analytic futurism, with excellent contributions in trends analysis, and related disciplines to define what *may* happen. And as far as visionaries, today as noted by Cindy Wagner, there are great visionaries like Ray Kurzweil who are associated with WFS, and their contributions is equal to a Buckminster Fuller plus an Einstein, when tackling the questions of what *can* happen and our far-reaching horizons. And with regards to issues like social justice, futurists are the only ones who have anything to say as an answer to dilemmas of our times, when both the left and right of old industrial world have no answer to offer. Therefore, even in the area of visionary futurism, we are far ahead.
But when it comes to participatory futurism, when a futurist asks what *should* happen, we have relied on others to represent us in the political arena, and we have failed. I think our biggest shortcoming is that after 50 years, the futurists still do not have a political party in the U.S., and we do not even have futurist political factions within the Democratic or Republican parties. Then why are we surprised that the Information Society is taking the back seat when the old industries like auto, airlines, and oil are promoted and even subsidized, when the high tech is bleeding and suffering so badly.
The Alternative
I think the following is what is bothering the new technology enthusiasts. They know futurism is not dead and in fact is the opposite, and futurism is one of the most blossoming thoughts of our times. Nonetheless they are angry of the current failures of information society, and their cry is to ask the futurists to be the commanders, to lead the world into the 21st Century post-industrial society, rather than being at the mercy of those who are subsidizing failing industries, the political parties and lobbies that represent the old industries. The old society has a strong political structure to support it, when the information society has not created its own alternative political force.
The approach of WFS to work with both the Democratic and Republican parties, and not entering partisan politics, is resulting in futurists to be the benefactors of other political parties, political forces that do not basically have the information society in mind, and are either representing agriculture and oil of the South, or the auto and other old smoke-stack industries of the North. And they have their lobbies in Washington, whereas high tech industry hardly has a political representation and is just used by all other interests of the old society.
As I have noted in my article Futurists and Politics, the early founders of Futurism were very political, but as time passed, futurists focused more on economic, cultural and social issues and lost sight of political arena. It was understandable why we made that decision. It was because as long as futurism had not matured, getting focusing on politics, could have distracted the futurists from developing our own thoughts in different areas of life, and could have reduced us to extensions of plans and platforms of other outlooks that were already strong in all disciplines. But the situation is different now, and after 40 years, the futurists have developed in all areas of inquiry.
Any civilization that has succeeded to replace an older one, has been by the advocates of the new civilization taking a political role to challenge the older civilization. One can avoid all the pitfalls of the past political forces, for example the error of statism of the socialists. But one cannot think of the need for political leadership to be frivolous, and leave it to representatives of old agricultural and industrial civilizations, and still expect things to work out for the information economy.
Futurism, not only is not dead, but it has been successful, and this is why such a political leadership role is expected from WFS. The futurists are the only ones who have solutions for the global and national issues, and it is not just something selfish to strive for our platform. It is what will help Americans and the world at large. Our platform is the way to solve the current crisis in the U.S. and abroad. A new political force in the U.S. could not be started by all the wealth of Ross Peron, but it can be started with the vision of the futurists.
In the last 20 years I have written about the retrogressive development of Iran following the reactionary 1979 Iranian Revolution. What that event has shown, is that the progress of post-industrial society is not automatic, and a reversal even to a Medieval society is possible. Thus the need for a political force that clearly sides with the post-industrial new civilization, anywhere in the world, is a must, to avoid such reversals, and to build a new society.
