Kern and Burn: The Book
About Kern and Burn
Kern and Burn invites design entrepreneurs—those who pursue self-initiated projects, to think for themselves, and channel passions into self-made careers—to share their perspectives. They are designers who dream big and burn the midnight oil to forge their own paths.
In December 2011, we started the blog, 100 Days of Design Entrepreneurship where we share our process and research for the book. Each day, we post an inspiring story, article, or interview on design entrepreneurship. We have worked hard to curate interesting content and the outpouring of kind words that we've received has reinforced our excitement for the project.
The blog presents short, inspirational excerpts from our discussions. The printed book expands on these conversations and presents long-format features, interviews, pivotal essays, original writing, and interludes from the Kern and Burn authors.
We encourage our peers to challenge the traditional role of graphic designers by presenting the perspectives and experiences of those who have used design to do more. We celebrate designers who solve big problems, aim to delight their audiences, make meaningful work that benefits others, and most importantly, live their lives to the fullest. We believe good design is all about good people. Our book is about good people who happen to be designers.
We have talked to design leaders and innovators at startups like Twitter, Airbnb, and Kickstarter, founders such as Khoi Vinh and Cameron Koczon, designers that craft products like Peter Buchanan-Smith and Studio Neat, those who champion side projects like SwissMiss and Christian Helms, and those who believe in the importance of writing and self-publishing, like The Manual. See our website for a complete list of contributors. We will continue to add new contributors as we progress through the 100 Days of Design Entrepreneurship.
We're honored to share their stories with our readers. The launch of our Kickstarter project marks the beginning of a wonderful collaboration with an even larger community. As always, thanks for joining us on the journey.
The Book
We are making a book that captures the energy and excitement of design entrepreneurs. A book that inspires the design community to Kern and Burn—to perfect our craft and to work obsessively hard. It is a book that focuses on designers' lives, decisions, and aspirations rather than their techniques and color palettes. A book that challenges our peers to believe in themselves, and think about their lives as a design problem.
As we make our way through the 100 Days of Design Entrepreneurship we edit our discussions, curate our interviews, compile essays, reflect on what we've learned, and work to craft a book that is as beautiful as our content is rich. The format and narrative of the book will evolve through the process.
The book's title is also in the works, we'll announce it when the time is right! We've adopted the startup mentality and are putting this project out there before it's perfect, packaged, and ready to ship, (heck, before it even has a title), but we like that. That means we get the chance to involve the design community in our design process, the book's production, and we get to share the reward of creating something meaningful, together.
If we reach our goal, with your contribution, we will use the funding to hire an editor, refine our design, and begin production.
Our reward levels include some fun additions to the printed book, including a digital copy, a small-format process book with highlights from the 100 Days of Design Entrepreneurship, a letterpress pica ruler bookmark (for the Kern in all of us), and a series of hand-pulled screen printed posters.
Supporters will receive exclusive updates as we develop the book. We encourage your feedback throughout the process, and are excited to see it all take shape.
Kern and Burn Team
Kern and Burn is a collaboration between Jessica Karle Heltzel and Tim Hoover. They are both finishing their MFA degrees in graphic design at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).

In the world of science, the two terms are still quite distinct. Research must be organized and directed towards either proving or disproving a hypothesis. In this sense, blindly searching for information in an unsystematic way is not research. So who cares? And, more important, why should we care? Let me give an example that illustrates the difference.
John Doe is looking for his Great-grandfather (GGF), Richard Doe. He begins be going onto a large online genealogical database website and looks for his GGF's name. He tries several combinations of spellings in several documents. He is searching for information, but has he yet to do any research? Searching is an uncommitted activity. The question is whether or not any of the search results match his previously determined criteria for identifying his GGF. To the extent that John Doe has done previous searching and has some idea or theory about his GGF, he may have crossed the line from searching to research. The point is that searching can go on forever without producing any results. If you want to make progress, especially in really hard cases, you have to move beyond mere searching and begin to on around the research cycle.
Here is a commonly used example:
The basic steps are as follows:
- Identify what you know.
- Decide what you want to learn.
- Select records to search.
- Obtain and search the records.
- Evaluate and Use the information.

Took a trip up to the tug hill kite fest this weekend, and spent saturday seeing some old friends a riding a bit, southerly winds weren't optimal, and despite the large size of the fields they filled up with kiters pretty quick, a little to crowded for my liking, but fun none-the-less.
Soooo, I decided to head down to Oneida Lake on Sunday with some friends and we had a great day. Thick powder as you can see in the video, probably 18". We arrived at 10:00 to NO WIND, nuts, but the forecast was calling for the good stuff. So we waited around and things started to build by 11:30 or so. Once up and rolling the wind really picked up and I was nicely powered on the Montana 9.5.
Crazy weather day, Sunny bluebird to snowy squall, on and off, all afternoon but the wind was fairly consistent and smooth. At 2:30 a BIG one rolled in and visibility on the lake dropped to virtually zero and everybody packed it in. Perfect timing because my legs were shot from riding in thick beautiful pow....

Deeply Embedded In The Green Landscape : OUTrial House
Located in a green landscape flanked by trees on all sides, the OUTrial House has some defining features that make the 1,937 square foot residential structure seem part of the landscape. In order to keep the surroundings as natural as possible, Polish architects from KWK Promes "raised" a carved part of the grassy property up to act as the roof, creating a continuation of nature around and on top of the house. Some new tasks were given to the architects after starting the project and they changed the arrangement quite a bit: "When the whole was ready, the client came up with another request, to create some space for a small recording studio and a conservatory. The latter was obtained by linking the ground floor with the grassy roof through an "incision" in the green plane and "bending" the incised fragment down, inside the building. This procedure turned the roof into an atrium, as the only way to reach it was through the interior of the house.
As opposed, however, to a typical atrium, the newly-created space has all the advantages of an outer garden while remaining a safe, internal zone within the building. This way, a new type of house was created, and its designation – outrial – is to convey the idea of an atypical atrium which is part of both the interior and the exterior of the building. The studio was created in a similar way as the conservatory, but in order to ensure work comfort for a rock musician, it was isolated from the rest of the house by shifting it upwards." The interiors were flooded with natural light bouncing off the green landscape and the interiors were designed to contrast with the grass-covered outdoor staircase and front entrance. A luxurious mixture of natural and man-made create a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.

(BPT) - A volatile economy and tough job market have revived American workers' interest in continuing education. Now more than ever, adults are returning to educational environments to advance their skills, training and knowledge.
"Continuing education generally refers to any type of post-secondary education for the purpose of keeping current with changes in a particular field of study or for preparation to obtain a certification," says Dr. Marianne Greenfield, a program chair at Argosy University, Atlanta. "Some professions require that you earn continuing education credits in order to maintain a license. The goal of continuing education is to offer adults who already possess a college or university degree further opportunity for learning without having to enroll in a degree program."
"Now more than ever, it's important for employees and professionals to keep up with all the latest skills and relevant knowledge necessary to compete in today's workforce," says Dr. George Spagnola, chair of the College of Education at Argosy University, Sarasota. "While a traditional education is necessary in today's workforce, it is also a cornerstone upon which one can build a better future through continuing education."
Greenfield agrees. "As more and more people are obtaining academic degrees, the advantage lies with the candidate whose skills and knowledge are current and relevant in the workplace," she says. "Continuing education is especially important in areas such as human resources, engineering, technology, finance and health care, where rapid advances occur, leading to constantly evolving practices." For many professions, certifications and licenses are requirements for employment opportunities, so continuing education is important for job seekers and professionals in those fields.
And obtaining continuing education is more convenient for learners. "Advances in technology have made continuing education more accessible," says Spagnola. "Options are available to pursue continuing education online, at a physical location or in a combination of both. These technology breakthroughs help so many to continue their education and advance their professional knowledge while working and raising a family."
Given the number of people raising families and working, that flexibility of education can be key to continuing education success. Look for an institution or provider that can meet your educational needs while still allowing you to meet your personal and professional obligations. "Seek out a student-centered institution that meets your needs both academically and non-academically," says Spagnola.
"Although there are many course providers who cater to those seeking continuing education, it is important to find an accredited institution to ensure your efforts yield results," says Greenfield. "Look for programs that offer you access to and learning from quality instructors with real-life experience in the specific field of study." Make sure that the program you are considering is compatible with any requirements you will face for licensure.
And while there are costs associated with continuing education, many people can find financial assistance in the form of tuition assistance programs offered through their employers. "Tuition assistance programs are of huge benefit to employees and the company," says Spagnola. "As an employee, you receive financial assistance for your education and your employer, in turn, gets an employee advancing their knowledge and skills and applying them to the organizations."
"The benefits far outweigh the expense and many private sector employers will pay for or reimburse the expense if a compelling case is made for the added competitive advantage for the organization," agrees Greenfield. "And if your employer isn't able to assist you with the costs, the Internal Revenue Service allows you to deduct a portion of qualifying continuing education expenses on your federal tax return. If you pay the expense on behalf of a spouse or a dependent child, you can also claim the deduction."

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Author: Keith Gilyard
Title of work: Poemograhies
Alfredo Lujan uses the reader-response approach to explore Keith Gilyard's poetry. The students examine the meaning of the title Poemographies, work in small groups to discuss several of Gilyard's poems, and create their own visual "poemographies" in response to Gilyard's work. Gilyard meets with the students, reads from his collection, and leads them in a response-based writing activity.
To prepare for the lesson, view The Expanding Canon video program 2, Part I. Online, review the Session 2 theory overview, strategies, information about the authors and literature, resources, and the downloadable print guide. Also read Poemographies -- selected poems available in the print guide.
Teachers will need the following supplies:
Standards for the English Language Arts
Day 1
1. The class discusses the meaning of the word "poemographies."
They observe that the title could represent a combination of poetry and geography, poetry and photography, poetry and biography, or poetry and autobiography.
2. Students divide themselves into small groups, based on their interpretations of the word "poemographies." Students interview others in their group about their interpretations of the poems.
3. Lujan then asks students to create visual interpretations of Gilyard's poetry at home.
Day 2
1. Students present their visual "poemographies" to the class, explaining their individual creative choices.
2. The class walks to a plaza in downtown Santa Fe, where they meet with Keith Gilyard. Gilyard reads his poem "the hatmaker" to the class. (Teachers may want to show students a clip featuring Keith Gilyard from The Expanding Canon video program 2, Part I.)
3. Gilyard tells students how he likes to capture the sights and sounds of his environment in his poetry. He asks students to walk around the plaza to collect images and impressions to create their own poems.
4. The students share their poems with the whole group and then ask Gilyard questions about his life and his work.

Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak, said on Wednesday that it is "too early" to be sending out any messages to Syria's Bashar Assad, or to expect any word from Damascus, reported the Jerusalem Post.
"I think it is too early at this stage, mere days after the funeral of Hafez Assad and when his heir is still only a candidate for the presidency," said Barak.
Justice minister, Yossi Beilin, however, sent out his own message of sorts, saying that "Bashar Assad needs to know that there is a government in Israel that wants peace and is ready to pay the price of that peace. We should not miss the opportunity."
Uri Saguy, who headed the Israeli negotiating team to the last round of talks with the Syrians in Shepherdstown in January, was quoted as saying that returning to the negotiating table was in the Syrians' interest, and voiced his hope that Assad would recognize this.
"I am not caught up in a concept, and I am not living in a dream, but I do think there is room for guarded optimism with regard to future talks," said Saguy.
Saguy said that for Syria to achieve such goals as retrieving the Golan Heights, bettering its strategic relations with the West, and keeping some modicum of power in Lebanon it would do well to re-enter talks with Israel.
Saguy compared Israel and Syria to an older couple thinking about marriage, said the paper.
"They might need a prenuptial agreement," he said, positing that agreements on water, land, security and the like would have to be worked out so that if the sides parted, each would know what it had the right to keep.
"But rationally speaking they - and we - have reason to return to the diplomatic platform," he said - Albawaba.com

Discovery of CWD in Missouri Reinforces Need for Vigilance in Texas
AUSTIN – The recent discovery of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in a captive deer in Missouri underscores the need for vigilance in monitoring whitetails and taking action when questionable deer are discovered in Texas captive breeding facilities.
The animal that tested positive for CWD was a captive white-tailed deer inspected as part of Missouri's CWD surveillance and testing program. Preliminary tests were conducted by the USDA National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, Iowa, and a "tested positive" result was disclosed last week.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has investigated several deer smuggling cases involving whitetails brought into the state from several states where CWD has been confirmed, including Missouri.
"This is why we banned importation of deer from out of state and why we continue to monitor for illegal activity," said Carter Smith, Executive Director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
In February 2010 a case of CWD was confirmed in Linn County, Missouri, on a captive hunting preserve operated by the same entity, Heartland Wildlife Ranches, LLC. The Linn County facility was depopulated and no further infection was identified at that facility. The current case was identified through increased surveillance required by the management plan implemented from the previous CWD incident.
Since TPWD implemented a CWD surveillance initiative 10 years ago, more than 35,000 deer have been tested in Texas; the results to date have all come back "not detected."
"The absence of any disease findings is by no means a reason to stop testing," Smith said. "The best measures we can take are proactive ones, and our goal is to keep CWD out of the state at all costs."
CWD is a fatal disease of North American elk and deer, including white-tailed deer and mule deer. There is no indication that CWD in deer can lead to disease in native livestock or people. Wildlife officials regard prevention as the primary and most effective tool to combat CWD. Once established in a wild population, diseases are extremely difficult, and sometimes impossible, to eradicate.
TPWD has stepped up epidemiological investigations involving questionable deer held illegally in Texas with input and assistance from representatives of the Texas Animal Health Commission, Texas Wildlife Association, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Texas Deer Association, private veterinarians and other stakeholders.
"We take disease issues very seriously because of the potential impacts to Texas' natural resources and the multi-million dollar hunting and deer breeding industries," Smith said. "TPWD works collaboratively with deer breeders and other deer stakeholders to develop and implement rules to minimize the risk of CWD in Texas."
The implications from a CWD outbreak in Texas' internationally recognized white-tailed deer population, both free-ranging and captive, would be significant. Deer hunting is an important cultural and recreational component of Texas lifestyle, pursued annually by more than 600,000 sportsmen, and has an economic impact to the state in excess of $2.2 billion a year, according to published reports. In addition, studies show deer breeding activities have an economic impact in Texas of about $650 million annually.
CWD was originally described in captive animals 35 years ago in Colorado. However, over the last five years, the fatal disease has been detected in free-ranging and captive cervids in several surrounding states and Canada. The Missouri discovery places CWD in 20 states and Canadian provinces.
The general deer hunting season in Texas opens Nov. 5 and TPWD biologists will be at locker plants and processing facilities collecting voluntarily-submitted hunter harvested deer tissue samples for CWD testing. Hunters can also contact their local TPWD wildlife biologist if they would like to offer samples for testing. A contact list of TPWD biologists can be found online at http://tpwd.texas.gov/landwater/land/technical_guidance/biologists/.

June 2 (GIN) – In his second try for elected office, Peter Mutharika captured the winning margin of victory and edged out Malawi's first woman president – Joyce Banda.
The 74 year old Mutharika, brother of a former president, was declared the victor last week in a disputed election. But he comes into office under a cloud, accused of attempting a constitutional coup two years ago by hiding the death of his brother, President Bingu wa Mutharika, in order to block Mrs. Banda – then vice-president – from assuming the presidency.
When President Bingu wa Mutharika suffered a cardiac arrest on April 5, 2012, brother Peter allegedly pushed forward a measure allowing him to become President, overriding the constitution. A secret meeting to swear him in failed and Mrs. Banda was elevated to the top job.
As president, Mrs. Banda undid some of Bingu's more damaging measures: she opened up political space (resulting in this past election being Malawi's most fiercely contested) and enticed donors back into the country (40% of Malawi's budget comes from international aid), took a personal pay cut and sold the ex-president's luxury jet.
She fired the Inspector General of Police, Peter Mukhito, accused of instilling a climate of fear through arbitrary arrests and the shooting of 19 people during anti-government protests in 2011.
Others dismissed were finance minister Ken Lipenga and justice minister Ralph Kasambara over the so-called "Cash-gate" corruption controversy.
Still, Mrs. Banda appeared to go too far in appeasing the International Monetary Fund, agreeing to austerity measures and painful structural reforms. These came at a high price for the majority of Malawians who now struggle to cope with the continuous rise in the cost of food, especially bread and the staple maize meal.
Incoming president Mutharika, meanwhile, gave his inaugural address this week at the Kamuzu Stadium in the commercial capital, Blantyre, where he made grand promises, pledging to grow the economy based on tobacco by 7.5 percent annually over the next five years, and fight corruption.
He said his government would invest in infrastructure and improve food supplies in a country where about half of the population lives on less than $1 a day.
"The economy of this country has collapsed, our civil servants aren't working, the private sector isn't working and our children aren't going to school," he said.
Mutharika, who lived abroad for approximately 40 years, reportedly turned in his U.S. green card this year. The constitution of Malawi prohibits dual citizenship.
The U.S. and UK have already sent congratulations to the newly-elected Mutharika and Mr. Saulos Chilema, vice president with the U.S. "look(ing) forward to continuing our close partnership with the Government of Malawi in the advance of our mutual interests of supporting Malawi's development." w/pix of P. Mutharika

Just to clarify - I don't think there is anything wrong with saying the toss has affected the match. More that it's a bit pointless to go into finer details.

Oh please, every 3rd cricket thread you are in there with a snide comment about the thread being useless. Which is a shame as you are usually very interesting to read.
England's 373 puts the pitch in perspective, doesn't it? Maybe it was good bowling and not the pitch that was responsible for Australia's first innings.
What about the century partnership between Strauss and Trott? In any event if the pitch was as terrible as claimed it should have been possible to set reasonably attacking fields to the lower middle order and bowl them out cheaply. If the pitch is giving serious assitance, attack is always the best form of defense.
And Australia end up with 80 for 0. So 395 runs scored for the loss of 6 wickets on Day 3 of an alleged minefield.
Well done England for winning the Ashes. There will be no miracles for 0z tomorrow I hate to say.
The luck has always been with England this series.
4 tosses won by Strauss
last pair surviving at Cardiff
Dodgy umpiring
What a great heist by England.
Aus 100's 7
Eng 100's 2
2 - 1 to England undeserved but ya, congratulations nonetheless.

McCann reflects fondly on his time with Braves
ATLANTA -- When Howie McCann received two tickets for the first regular-season game played at Turner Field, he flipped a coin to determine which of his two teenage sons would accompany him.
Sixteen years later, Chipper Jones and Andruw Jones are the only two men who have played more games at Turner Field than the kid whose first entry into the stadium came courtesy of winning that coin flip.
ATLANTA -- When Howie McCann received two tickets for the first regular-season game played at Turner Field, he flipped a coin to determine which of his two teenage sons would accompany him.
Sixteen years later, Chipper Jones and Andruw Jones are the only two men who have played more games at Turner Field than the kid whose first entry into the stadium came courtesy of winning that coin flip.
"That is just surreal," Brian McCann said when informed of that fact. "I grew up a big Braves fan. To be able to say I played the first half of my career in Atlanta and to be mentioned in the same breath as those guys, I really don't have the words for it. This is where I grew up and this is home for me."
While Atlanta will continue to serve as his home and the place where he spent the first nine seasons of his Major League career, McCann now looks forward to beginning the newest chapter of his life -- with the Yankees, who lured him to New York with a five-year, $85 million contract.
But as McCann prepares to become part of a history enriched by Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle, he carries nothing but fond memories away from the opportunity he had to spend the early part of his career playing alongside some of the Braves legends he idolized while growing up 30 minutes north of downtown Atlanta.
"I got to play for Bobby Cox," McCann said. "I got to be teammates with Chipper Jones, Tim Hudson, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz. I don't know if it gets much better than that, being from Atlanta."
McCann's storybook journey with the Braves began when he was selected in the second round of the 2002 First-Year Player Draft. Three years later, he came to the Major Leagues as a baby-faced, 21-year-old catcher and made an immediate impact. He singled off Oakland's Dan Haren in his first at-bat and then hit the decisive go-ahead home run while catching Smoltz's complete-game victory the following afternoon.
"I will never forget my first game," McCann said. "I'll never forget that feeling of walking out to the bullpen, having my buddies, who were in college at the time, yelling at me. That is probably a feeling I'll never forget."
McCann created a wealth of memories, as he earned All-Star selections during each of his first six full seasons and collected five Silver Slugger Awards while with the Braves.
Many Braves fans will always remember what he did against Roger Clemens in Game 2 of the 2005 National League Division Series. In his first postseason at-bat, the rookie catcher electrified Turner Field when he sent a decisive three-run home run over the right-field wall.
During a workout at Minute Maid Park the following day, McCann said, "I still have to pinch myself and make sure it's really me."
There were many instances over the past nine seasons when McCann had reason to wonder if he was dreaming. During the first month of his career, he drew regular praise from Smoltz. A decade earlier, he had been thrilled with the simple fact that Smoltz had taken a picture with him.
While Smoltz and Glavine helped him learn how to call games and guide pitchers through certain situations, McCann credits Chipper Jones for helping him find early offensive success at the big league level.
But McCann's compliments extend beyond the players and coaches he met in Atlanta. As he reminisced earlier this week, he credited the guidance provided by his Minor League managers -- Brian Snitker, Randy Ingle and Rocket Wheeler.
"I feel very fortunate that Atlanta was the team that drafted me," McCann said. "I met some very important people along the way who turned me into the player I am today. I wouldn't have wanted to come up in any other organization than the Atlanta Braves."
McCann entered this past season with the realization that it would likely be his last in Atlanta. It had become evident that an American League club that could use him as both a catcher and designated hitter would likely trump any offer the Braves would have been comfortable making to a backstop who will turn 30 in February.
Still, McCann says he never truly felt distracted by the future opportunities that awaited him once he entered the free-agent market.
"It was hard to think about just because of how good we were," McCann said. "There were bigger things on our menu than what was happening to me. We had a legit shot to win a World Series. We had a great team. To be honest with you, it didn't hit me until that last game in [Los Angeles]. That was the first time it really hit me hard, and I realized there is a really good chance that was the last game I played for Atlanta."
When McCann donned his Yankees jersey for the first time during a news conference on Thursday afternoon, he said, "To say this is one of the best days of my life would be an understatement."
While McCann is understandably excited about this next opportunity, he leaves Atlanta knowing that he has already experienced some of the best years of his life.
"I've had time to reflect on the time I spent with the Braves," McCann said. "I take away nothing but positive memories. Everything was very positive about my experience. I feel very, very lucky to have been a part of that organization."

Opened at 2 pm to give it some air. First impression then with a few small sips were that this is a beautiful, pure and fragrant expression of classic North Rhone Syrah.
A few hours later, after it's had some time to breathe, it's utterly jawdropping.
I am awed that a wine with this finesse and sense of seamlessness is still available for around $35. (I can think of very few examples from Côte-Rôtie or other more exalted and more expensive appellations that have this sort of fragrance, purity and elegance.)
Fresh berried fruit framed by a bright high toned florality, savoury earthiness and gentler meaty and saline elements, all conveyed with a delicate touch and amazing finesse on the palate. Bright acids keep it very fresh and lively, and the flavours linger long after each sip. Utterly spectacular wine.
Thanks, Eric.

He didn't don gumboots but Prince Charles has been out on the farm in New Zealand, where he learned about innovative wetland developments and forestry plantings.
The property, Waipiko Farm near Cheltenham, is owned by John and Diny Dermer, who run it as a lamb and bull finishing unit and it also has multiple forestry plantings.
The heir to the throne then joined a group of local farmers and Minister for Primary Industries David Carter for afternoon tea and chatted about agriculture.
Mrs Dermer made sure the prince didn't leave the farm empty handed, giving him some lemons from her tree.
Meanwhile, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, visited the equine and wildlife research centres at Massey University in Palmerston North.
The royals enjoyed a slice of rural Kiwi life on their tour of Manawatu.
About 3000 locals - the biggest crowd of the royal tour so far - cheered and waved as the motorcade pulled up in the Feilding town centre, where the prince and duchess were met by Manawatu Mayor Margaret Kouvelis and Rangitikei MP Ian McKelvie.
Prince Charles and Camilla, who was wearing a pale green Anna Valentine coat and dress ensemble, stopped to talk with many of those who had lined the streets for hours beforehand.
With a smile, the prince accepted a carnation buttonhole from one royal enthusiast.
Jump jam dance groups from Lytton Street School provided entertainment as the royals came face to face with farm animals and watched a sheep get shorn.
The couple wandered through the award-winning farmers' market and Camilla sampled local gourmet delights prepared by Palmerston North caterer Hester Guy.
School children and adults waved flags and some donned Union Jack hats and Victorian costumes.
The warm temperatures became too much for one elderly woman who fainted from what bystanders described as a combination of the heat and excitement.
The royals stopped at the town's war memorial on their walkabout and met with the family of Lieutenant Tim O'Donnell, the first Kiwi soldier killed in Afghanistan.
The royals were expected to headed back to Wellington on Thursday evening, before visiting Christchurch on Friday morning.

The system allows you to research a company's activities, registration statements, prospectuses, and periodic reports, which include financial statements. EDGAR also provides access to correspondence about corporate filings reviewed by the SEC staff since August 1, 2004.

Helpful tips
Searching EDGAR
You can search the EDGAR database in several different ways. If you know the name of the company you want to research, or its ticker symbol, EDGAR's Companies & Other Filers Search is a good place to start. The search results will be shown in a list, starting with the company's most recent filing. This is how the EDGAR search page looks:
Another option is to use the EDGAR Full-Text Search, which allows you to search the full text of EDGAR filings from the last four years based on keywords. Search results appear as a list of filings, beginning with the most recent. The type of filing is shown in the left-hand column.
Common Documents for Researching Investments
Here are the most common types of documents you will find on file with the SEC, which will help you research your investments:
Corporate Reports
Quarterly and annual corporate reports describe the business and include financial statements showing where the company's money came from and how it was spent. The required forms are:
- Annual Reports - Form 10-K. The annual report includes the company's history, audited financial statements, a discussion of products and services, a review of the organization and its operations, and a discussion of the company's major markets.
- Quarterly Reports - Form 10-Q. Each quarter, companies file unaudited financial statements and information about the company's operations in the previous three months. The 10-Q often compares the company's performance in the current quarter to the previous quarter, and to the same quarter in the prior year.
For additional information on how to read a company's financial statements, please read our Beginner's Guide to Financial Statements.
There are four primary financial statements:
- Balance sheets show a company's assets and liabilities at a fixed point in time.
- Income statements show how much money a company made and spent over a period of time.
- Cash flow statements show the exchange of money between a company and the outside world over a period of time.
- Statement of shareholders' equity shows changes in the value of owned stock in the company over time.
Other Reports
Other reports of interest to investors available on EDGAR include:
- Registration Statements. By law, public companies in the U.S. must disclose important financial information before they issue securities such as stocks and bonds for sale to the public. This includes a description of the security being offered; information about the company's properties, business, and management; and financial statements audited by independent auditors. The SEC may examine a company's registration statement to determine whether it complies with U.S. disclosure requirements but it does not evaluate the merits of offerings to determine if the securities are "good" investments.
- Form 8-K. Companies file this form with the SEC to announce major events that shareholders should know about, including bankruptcy proceedings, a change in corporate leadership (such as a new director or officer), and preliminary earnings announcements.
- Forms 3, 4, and 5. Corporate insiders - the company's officers and directors, and anyone owning more than 10% of its stock - must file a "statement of ownership" about those securities with the SEC.
- Form 3 is the initial ownership statement.
- Form 4 reports changes in ownership when the owners buy or sell some of their stock, and must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
- Form 5 is used to report any transactions that should have been reported earlier on a Form 4, or that were eligible for deferred reporting. If a Form 5 must be filed, it is due 45 days after the end of the company's fiscal year.
Helpful tips
Always check to see if a filing has been amended. When reviewing filings, especially registration statements and periodic reports filed on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, check to see if the filing has been amended. Amended filings are designated by adding "/A" after the file name.
There are many different forms used in EDGAR. The SEC's website includes a description of form types accepted by EDGAR.

On-line training is a great way to learn. I offer several courses on Kelby Training.
Attending seminars is also a good way to expand your photographic horizons. I have eight planned . . . so far in 2013!
But by far the best way to learn is to take a photography workshop. I have more than a dozen planned for 2013. They are all listed on my Workshops page.
This holiday season, why not give a loved one the gift of a photography workshop? It's a gift that will keep on giving, as your spouse continues to grow as a photographer.
On my workshops we make, rather than just take, pictures. We process our images and have group critiques. We make new friends and experience new locations.
Yes, we work, but we also have a ton of fun.
I can help you with:
- landscape photography
- people photography
- HDR photgraphy
- speedlite shooting
- Photoshop and Lightroom
- nature, wildlife and landscape photography
- composition and exposure
- plug-ins
- your social media marketing
- and more
So give the gift of a workshop - even if it's to yourself :-)
Of course, please email me with any questions.

Glitch unlocks 500 cells in prison, but no one tries to escape
WASHINGTON -- About 500 locks on cell doors simultaneously opened early Saturday inside the Montgomery County jail near Clarksburg, Md., prompting officials to declare a security emergency that included posting about 20 police cars on the perimeter of the facility.
No inmates tried to escape and the locks were reset, said Arthur Wallenstein, director of the county's Department of Correction and Rehabilitation.
Wallenstein said the cell-door locks also disengaged Tuesday before being reset. "It's definitely a problem," he said. "We must find the source of it."
County maintenance workers and outside contractors were in the jail Saturday working on the system to find a permanent fix for the doors, Wallenstein said. The doors are part of an electronic system guided by computer programs and corrections officers.
Only cell-door locks opened, Wallenstein said. No housing unit doors or hallway doors were affected, he said. Beyond those perimeters, inmates trying to leave would still have to get past corrections officers and a fence. Wallenstein said no inmates left their cells.
Still, the situation is hardly an ideal one for a jail.
"Any security door opening in an unexpected manner constitutes a major security problem," Wallenstein said.
In addition to calling in the police perimeter, Wallenstein and other corrections administrators went to the jail early Saturday morning. The locks opened about 12:20 a.m. Some were reset immediately; others were reset within an hour. Officials tested the locks until 5:45 a.m., when they let the last of the police leave.
"We handled it as a security emergency," Wallenstein said. "But nobody tried to escape."

Older estate plans for "Leave it to Beaver couples" may have been, at one time, the state of the art for couples that have been "long-married with no step-kids." But since the tax law changes effective in 2011 lifted the estate tax exemption to $5 million per spouse or $10 million per married couple, couples who leave their will and trust situation as it was may tie up much more money in trusts—or taxes—than intended, says James Lange, a CPA, estate planning attorney and president of the registered investment advisor (RIA) Lange Financial Group, LLC.
The "average client with an estate of between $500,000 to $1million or $2 million," Lange (left), told AdvisorOne in a phone interview Monday, would have had their estate plan structured with wills and trusts so the surviving spouse would have inherited assets in the amount of the exemption, say "$600,000 of a $1.2 million estate," and the balance in a trust in order to provide "trust income for life." The trust could be "invaded for health, maintenance or support reasons," he says.
A Complex Formula—That Won't Work Now
The wording of the trust "didn't say $600,000," Lange explains—the estate planning attorneys used a complicated formula with "exemption amount in year of death" language to figure out exactly the amount to fund the trust with—and that, says Lange, is the problem. Because now with the much higher estate exemption of $5 million per person or $10 million per married couple, the "formula doesn't work." So a surviving spouse may end up with a much higher amount in a trust when it is now unnecessary to have that in a trust—the "trust is over-funded," according to Lange. They "don't need the trust in the first place," now, Lange asserts.
Not only will the surviving spouse have "less discretionary income," but if the "trust is the beneficiary of an IRA or retirement plan, massive income taxes are also triggered," according a release from Lange.
Couples need to revisit their estate plan to ensure that they don't get caught in this trap.
But what happens at the end of 2012, if the $5 million or $10 million exemption sunsets as planned in the legislation? Won't that mean that families just have to do their trusts and wills all over again for the lower exemptions? Lange says there is a method he has trademarked, called the "Cascading Beneficiary Plan," and he has written a book about it, called "Retire Secure," (Wiley, 2006)

Conscious Capitalism Institute
The Conscious Capitalism Institute was founded in 2009 to advance and promote a new way of thinking about and practicing business. This has three elements:
1. Business has a higher purpose that goes beyond profits
2. Businesses are managed for the benefit of all stakeholders, not just shareholders. To represent these stakeholders, we use the acronym SPICE: Society, Partners, Investors, Customers, Employees. Society comes first because it is really the ultimate stakeholder for all businesses.
3. Businesses are led by conscious leaders, who lead by mentoring and motivating, developing and inspiring their people, instead of by command-and-control or purely based on money.
Such businesses create many kinds of wealth: financial social, cultural, environmental, intellectual, physical health, and even spiritual. They also outperform traditional profit-oriented firms by a 9-to-1 ratio over the long term (10 years).
The Conscious Capitalism Institute consists of leading academics, thought leaders and progressive CEOs who are all passionately commited to the idea that business can be a noble profession that can be a tremendous force for good in the world, if practiced in a conscious manner.
Business academics, students, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, established business leaders, public policy decision makers, media.
Conscious capilitalism is about:
1. Love
2. Caring
3. Compassion
4. Transparency
5. Integrity
6. Trust
7. Win-win-win for all stakeholders
8. Authenticity
9. Long term
10. Holistic - systems thinking
11. Business as a living ecosystem, not a soulless machine
12. Wisdom

A chance encounter with a camellia in 1996 led Vincent Chen from a career in subdivision and skyscrapers to tea making. Spying the impressive, prolifically flowering specimen, Chen's father, Tze Wan Chen, approached his neighbour and asked, in broken English, what kind of magic it took to get the camellia growing so well. The neighbour laughed and revealed his secret: dig a hole in the ground and place the camellia in the hole. But, the seed was planted. If camellia could bloom in Waikato, so could tea.
Tea is made from the Camellia sinesis, a sub-species of the camellia family. With his background in construction, Vincent Chen knew little about it. Visiting the mountainous region of Nantou Province in Taiwan (famous for its highland tea crops), Chen selected some cuttings and sped back to the airport - chilly bin in hand.
Arriving home, his 500 cuttings were propagated into 1500 seedlings and left under MAF supervision. When Chen returned to pick up the seedlings 10 months later, only 130 remained.
"Every step of the way he's been hitting a wall. Any normal human being would give up, but Vincent just keeps going," says Jeff Howell, spokesperson for Zealong. Far from being frustrated, the grateful Chen claimed this was natural selection at its finest.
Now the 35-hectare plantation in Gordonton, north Waikato, has around 1.2 million tea plants - all derived from the original, 130.
Learning to plant and propagate tea came next, and then came the challenge of brokering new markets. Being the first commercial tea plantation in New Zealand, Zealong had to work hard to prove its merit -"especially when you go into Asia," says Howell, "they are like the French with wine".
The company eventually won over the market with its "pure" claim to fame. It is one of the few organic tea plantations (certified to BioGro standards), and grows without sprays, fertilisers or pesticides. New Zealand is lucky to be biologically blessed, says Howell, lacking the pests and fungi that prey on tea in other countries.
Pesticides and fertilisers are stock-standard in major tea producing areas like China and India where their indiscriminate use leaves toxic traces in tea leaves. Most countries now have rules governing the maximum residue levels (MRL) of pesticides allowed in imported tea. However Zealong's tea is completely free of pesticides and toxic residues - and they have the test results to prove it.
Zealong tea is also the only tea on the planet produced to food safety standards (ISO 22000 HACCP), something that Chen, in his agricultural naivety, presumed to be the norm. Visiting international tea fairs, Zealong realised they were the only tea makers treating tea like food.
They adopt strict rules around safety and hygiene and also slap a traceability barcode on their products, allowing consumers to follow the tea right back to the particular block it came from and the day it was picked on.
Howell calls oolong the "rock star" of teas. It is the most demanding type to make, taking some 36 hours from picking to processing, compared with 24 hours with black tea. Zealong has recently released a sweet, citrusy black tea but it is most renowned for its oolong. It boasts three blends: the "green"-tasting Pure, the buttery, floral Aromatic, roasted at high temperatures and the Dark variety which gets its rich, charcoal flavour from repeated roastings.
Traditionally, oolong is used in formal Chinese situations; to seal a lucrative business deal or celebrate marriages. Some varieties of oolong, for example Da Hong Pao from centuries-old tea bushes in the Wuyi mountain area of China, reputedly sell for US$30,000 ($36,400) a kilogram.
The know-how required to curl the tea into the twisted, tight balls of oolong is in short supply in New Zealand. "It's like trying to find a winemaker in New Zealand in the 1960s," quips Howell.
Every year during harvest, Zealong imports expert knowledge in the form of Master Wu, a tea master from Taiwan.
Tea-making is a peasant tradition, handed down through generations. Itinerant tea masters travel from plantation to plantation and their ability to craft teas, using solely experience and human judgment, means they are in high demand.
From humble beginnings, the "world's purest tea" has found its way to the shelves of the world's glitziest tea houses. Exclusive Parisian teahouse Mariage Freres, sells re-branded Zealong tea, and elite Japanese department store Isetan stocks it. Zealong has also set up shop in Taipei's fashionable Sogo, with its highbrow neighbours like Chanel and Tiffany.
Despite this, Chen remains grounded; focused on the dream he and his father shared. "Vincent's business is to make the world's best tea. He doesn't care about anything else", says Howell.
Once picked, tea leaves start to decay, or oxidise. It is this level of oxidation that creates differing tastes and appearances among varying tea types.
Green tea has the highest level of "greenness" in the leaves (lowest oxidation levels), but the highest caffeine levels - especially Japanese green tea.
Oolong is partially oxidised (Zealong's oolong is oxidised to 20 per cent).
Black tea is fully oxidised (brown) when processed. Black tea contains the least amount of caffeine.
Herbal "teas" are not actually made from tea, but use plants like peppermint or chamomile daisies for caffeine-free infusions correctly termed "tisanes".
Oolong is best enjoyed over several sessions. Each brew releases more flavour from the curled-up leaves, and you don't have to keep adding more tea.
* Start with a clean teapot or cup (free from black tea tannins) and pre-heat with a swish of boiling water.
* Add water, which should be at least 90 degrees, (equivalent to a freshly boiled jug). Let tea steep for about a minute and a half on the first infusion and longer for each consecutive brew.
Or add a teaspoon of oolong in the morning, and top up every hour with boiling water. The flavour will continue long through the afternoon.
To get your hands on some Zealong tea, head to the website (www.zealong.com) or drop by and visit the plantation in Gordonton and watch the harvest progress.
Tea is widely touted for its health benefits, owing much of its reputation to a little known, impossible to pronounce compound called Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
This potent antioxidant, known for its antitumour properties, reduces risks of cancer and heart disease, lowers cholesterol and blood pressure and stimulates the immune system. Antioxidants also help fight the ageing processes- so knocking back a few cups a day could keep you looking youthful.
Oolong has fewer EGCGs than green tea but has historically been used for weight loss. Studies link the consumption of 8g of oolong tea daily to weight loss in 70 per cent of severely obese individuals.
Due to its semi-oxidised nature, it also helps the body excrete fats and cholesterol. Other oolong goodies inhibit stomach cancer cells and it could even have a protective effect against colon cancer.
Black tea contains the lowest level of ECGCs, but has other advantages. Research highlights its ability to prevent heart disease and certain types of cancer. It also helps with high blood pressure and is just as good as green tea at fighting diabetes.
Just making space for a pot or two of tea a day has health spin-offs. Taking 15 minutes to sit and slowly enjoy a cuppa is a great way to reduce stress-related hormones like adrenaline.

Reasons for Designation
A small number of areas in southern England appear to have acted as foci for
ceremonial and ritual activity during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
Two of the best known and earliest recognised areas are around Avebury and
Stonehenge, now jointly designated as a World Heritage Site.
The area of chalk downland which surrounds Stonehenge contains one of the
densest and most varied groups of Neolithic and Bronze Age field monuments in
Britain. Included within the area are Stonehenge itself, the Stonehenge
cursus, the Durrington Walls henge, and a variety of burial monuments, many
grouped into cemeteries.
The area has been the subject of archaeological research since the 18th
century when Stukeley recorded many of the monuments and partially excavated a
number of the burial mounds. More recently, the collection of artefacts from
the surfaces of ploughed fields has supplemented the evidence for ritual and
burial by revealing the intensity of contemporary settlement and land-use.
In view of the importance of the area, all ceremonial and sepulchral monuments
of this period which retain significant archaeological remains are identified
as nationally important. Bowl barrows, the most numerous form of round
barrow, are funerary monuments dating from the Late Neolithic period to the
Late Bronze Age, with most examples belonging to the period 2400-1500 BC.
They were constructed as earthen or rubble mounds, normally ditched, which
covered single or multiple burials. They occur either in isolation or grouped
as cemeteries and often acted as a focus for burials in later periods. Often
superficially similar, although differing widely in size, they exhibit
regional variations in form and a variety of burial practices. There are over
10,000 surviving bowl barrows recorded nationally and at least 320 in the
Stonehenge area. This group of monuments will provide important information
on the development of this area during the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age
Despite having been levelled by cultivation, the bowl barrow 400m south east of Longbarrow Cross Roads will contain archaeological remains and environmental evidence relating to the monument and the landscape in which it was constructed. Aerial photographs have shown that the ditch fills survive undisturbed, while deposits located on the Bronze Age ground surface will survive beneath the area disturbed by cultivation.
The monument includes a levelled bowl barrow located 400m south east of
Longbarrow Cross Roads 140m east of A360 on a gentle south east facing slope.
The barrow mound is now difficult to identify on the ground. The mound is
surrounded by a ditch from which material was quarried during its
construction. This has become infilled over the years but survives as a buried
feature and is visible on aerial photographs from which the overall diameter
is calculated to be 26m.
MAP EXTRACT The site of the monument is shown on the attached map extract. It includes a 2 metre boundary around the archaeological features, considered to be essential for the monument's support and preservation.
The contents of this record have been generated from a legacy data system.
- Legacy System number:
- 10481
- Legacy System:
This monument is scheduled under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 as amended as it appears to the Secretary of State to be of national importance. This entry is a copy, the original is held by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

Directions: Dilute one drop per gallon of aquarium capacity or one teaspoon (capful or 5 ml) per 50 gallons (190 liters) of aquarium capacity in a cup of water and evenly disperse around the aquarium. Precipitated particles should be removed by a properly working mechanical filter and fine filtering medium, such as filter floss, or siphoned out. Allow 8 hours before siphoning. Repeat in 24 hours, if necessary. Operate aquarium lights for a minimum of 2 hours after use and provide good circulation and aeration during use.
Kent Pro Clear Freshwater is a long chain polymer which attracts dirt and cloudiness-causing particles into clumps which are easy to filter out or will settle to the bottom of the aquarium. Unlike competing products, Kent Pro Clear is very safe for all species of freshwater fish, and safe for plants, as well
For best results, use a fine filter floss or pad filter and force water through it. Dirt and cloudiness-causing particles will collect on this filter and can be discarded. If the tank is extremely cloudy, you can double the dose. Do not use more than two doses per week.
Deionized water, polyelectrolytes
Precautions: Do not use on marine systems. Not for human consumption. For Aquarium/Ornamental fish use only. Not for fish used for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children!
