A pair of leather covered brass Brighton Bun Travelling Candlesticks. A number of companies such as the Army & Navy Store and Harrods sold leather covered Brighton Buns but they are much harder to find than pressed portable candlesticks of the period.
The dishes are made of pressed brass backed in leather whilst the removable sconces and their screw fittings to the dishes are cast brass. The sconces are a better shape than standard, pressed Buns and the tramline ring turnings elevate them further. Also described as Military Candlesticks, this version would have been a more desirable model at their time of manufacture and remain so to this day. Circa 1900.
Size of each set up is given.

It's all fear of making the wrong statement. I'm brave enough, but it's still terrifying. Last time was the intern I work with. She's cute and 21 and I work with her a lot.. nothing there for me but I've been really lonely so talking to her is a little more nerve-wracking. The other day she started wearing eye makeup. I noticed right away and complimented her. I was worried she'd think I was being weird because I don't say things like that to her, ever. She thanked me and asked if it looks okay. LOL. I complimented her skill to reassure her.
I compliment but sometimes I just keep it to myself. You also have to admit, while women compliment a lot more, not all compliments are genuine. There is a lot of bitching that goes on in offices and I've worked in quite a few.
hahahaha.. men neva compliment its left for women
bcause guys are more honest in these things? if they say something they mean it... and many women just say it to make the otherone happy and keep them being nice to them self

plus to most men such things arn't as important unless they like someone really much
What a lovely question to ask.

I like your avatar.
Folks sometimes call me the SweetestAssKisser? =)
Sexual harassment!
The fellas haven't even noticed.
gay men do.
some give out a lot more
It isn't the manly thing to do! They are Men! I love Men!

- One of the major leaps PTV has taken was the production of new and additional programs to give new meaning to alternative programming and make primetime viewing more inviting, PTV guarantees to bring distinctive and captivating shows that will bring ample and balanced entertainment to its audience.
- With 27 provincial stations strategically located around the archipelago and carried by the largest number of cable operators in the country today, the People's Television Network offers you superior service, satellite power and unbeatable nationwide reach and coverage.
- Professionalism, Integrity, Commitment, and Dedication
- Teamwork, Innovation, and Service, Excellence
- Value for God, Country and People
The country's government television network began operations in 1974 as GTV-4. It was renamed Maharlika Broadcasting System in 1980 and following the People Power Revolution in 1986, became People's Television 4. On March 26, 1992, President Corazon C. Aquino signed Republic Act 7306, turning PTV Network into a government corporation known formally as People's Television Network, Inc.
In June 1992, the network was given a one-time equity funding for capital outlay. Shortly after he took over the mantle of government in June 1992, president Fidel V. Ramos appointed PTV Network's first board of directors. The Network was given a one-time equity funding for capital outlay.
Since 1992, PTV has been operating on revenues it generates on its own. RA 7306 stipulates that the government shall not allocate funds for the operations of the network.
PTV has been on full satellite transmission nationwide since 1992. Its flagship station, PTV-4, which is based in Quezon City, boasts of a 40-kilowatt brand-new transmitter sitting on a 500-foot (150 m) tower. With its 27 provincial stations and its affiliation with over 800 cable systems across the country, the network has extended its reach to approximately 85% of the television viewing public nationwide. Since then, PTV has set a new trend in the Philippine television industry by being the first to acquire digital technology. It is also the first network to use all solid-state transmitters in its provincial stations with power ranging from 1kw to 10kw. It is also the first station to convert its satellite transmission to digital compression as well as simultaneous transmission of main programs to the network's provincial stations and independent cable TV systems.
PTV is also known for the excellence it has shown in the late 80's by garnering several awards for three succeeding years from the Catholic Mass Media Awards and producing our several award-winning programs.
In July 16, 2001, under the new management appointed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, PTV adopted the name National Broadcasting Network (NBN) carrying a new slogan One People. One Nation. One Vision.
For the past years, PTV exerted efforts in finding ways to improve the network. In fact, they have converted their satellite transmission recently to digital video compression making it possible for interactive Satellite News Gathering transmission during news and special events coverage.

(Rochester, NY) – The Rochester Lancers today announced the return of the Lancers Head Coach Doug Miller and Assistant Coach Rey Martinez. The most successful Lancers coaching tag team to date will be back for another season. They brought the team to their best record since 2011 with a 10-10 finish. After a thrilling postseason series with rival Syracuse, they also brought the team to their first ever playoff victory and nearly defeated Baltimore in the Eastern Division Finals. Miller, the 2012-13 MISL League MVP and leading scorer reached the playoffs in just his first stint as Head Coach. With the help of his coaching staff that includes former Lancers player and fan-favorite Rey Martinez, Billy Ginther, John Berardicurti, and Travis Johns, he expects even more success for the 2015-16 campaign. "Our goal this past season was to win an MASL Championship," said Doug Miller, Lancers Head Coach. "We narrowly missed that, but I am proud of the adversity we overcame as a team and the growth which will put us in an even better position for next season." Season tickets are now on sale. If ordered by May 1, fans will receive a $15 discount per ticket. To order tickets, or for full player bios, visit www.rlancers.com. |

Ok, so we all know I love my husband, and I know we ALL love our husbands but SOME DAYS, you just want to BOOT THEM OUT THE DOOR. Am I right here ladies? I'm just bothered today, and I needed to vent. Just some rules for husbands out there to follow:
1. Your space needs to be as clean as "my" space and your "Space" should NEVER encroach on my "space". Drew has his wall, and I'll admit that I have 2 walls, but I have scrapbooking, and I have sewing, and it's not like I'm sewing stuff for myself — most of it involves Halloween costumes and patching jeans for the Little mister. And, did I mention I'm HERE more often, and he has an OFFICE at SCHOOL? It drives me INSANE when his stuff is on my cabinet. I know… move on, but sometimes you just can't.
2. NEVER read the newspaper while your wife is working. Just don't do it. That's why God gave us sundays. I can scrap, you can read. Period. NOT Monday Mornings.
3. Cleaning is love. That's it — if you were to totally clean a space, I would be SO MADLY DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH YOU, I don't know what would happen, but we would definately need protection. 🙂 And that's all i have to say about that. Now, back to our regularly scheduled "I love my husband" blog.
Why don't husbands understand #3? Why, oh why? Yes, my husband will go and do a bunch of cleaning, but it, a month later I ask him to clean something….I already cleaned up the whole house!! huh?
Amen sister! You could have signed that blog with my name at the bottom!
Hee hee – so funny. Read these blogs out of synch but glad to say he took some of it to heart and cleaned. Enjoy it while it lasts (the clean house I mean).

On Arrival - Remove the plants from the box as soon as they arrive and check that the compost is adequately moist, watering if necessary with tepid water. Leave them on a shaded windowsill or in a greenhouse for a few hours to settle before further handling, ensuring a frost-free non-draughty situation. Potting On - These plants should be potted on as soon as possible, but they will keep quite well for 2–3 days if necessary, provided they are kept in a warm light place and are not allowed to dry out. Use 10cm (4") pots and a good quality moist proprietary compost and set the plants so that the top of the root ball is level with the compost surface. After potting, give a thorough watering, but thereafter take care to avoid overwet conditions, particularly as the young plants become re-established. Grow on in a light, humid position, and maintain an initial temperature of 16–18˚C (60–65˚F).

The state Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of the Dodgers and City Hall, moving plans for a baseball stadium in Chavez Ravine one huge step closer to reality. The Times' coverage was breathless, no surprise since the paper was an open champion of the deal with the Dodgers.
"Progress must not be stopped in Los Angeles," Mayor Norris Poulson said in Gene Blake's lead story.
The Supreme Court reversed a Superior Court ruling that said the contract between the city and the Dodgers was invalid. Phill Silver, an attorney for one of the taxpayers whose lawsuits were the reason for the Superior Court decision, planned to seek a hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Other than a few paragraphs dealing with Silver, there was little indication how controversial the deal was. City Council members who had been against the stadium deal had no part in the first-day story. The Times' Blake had another story on Jan. 15 that included a no comment from John Holland, a strong opponent of the stadium deal and this from Karl Rundberg, who initially favored the stadium plan and then turned against it: "Is it settled? Frankly, I haven't changed my mind."
Dodger owner Walter O'Malley said the stadium would be ready in time for the 1960 season. "We'll open with less seating capacity--32,000--but as the season goes on we'll add more seats until we reach the 52,000 figure," he told The Times' Mal Florence. The following day, City Atty. Roger Arnebergh described that timetable as "extremely optimistic."
The Times took a day and then editorialized on the whole matter. There was no shortage of sports phrases--the court's decision was a unanimous "call" and the Dodgers "and the majorities of voters and City Council members who favor the contract were nearly thrown out at third after the election when a Superior Court judge ruled that the agreement was invalid."

Near & Middle East Titles: Records of Saudi Arabia 19611965 |
This is the second in the series of three titles that combine to create a large collection which offers historical evidence for the creation of Saudi Arabia, illustrating the political, social and economic changes which in just over half a century transformed the desert amirate into one of the richest countries in the world.
Throughout the collection there is an overall structure of subjects covered such as the affairs of the royal family, foreign and internal affairs, economic, civil and social development, defence policy and territorial negotiations and disputes. Although the early part of the collection is organised so as to present a series of key documents which provide researchers and historians with access to original documents upon which to base their own work, in this more modern period, 1960 to 1970, almost all of the material available has been included providing a very detailed series of papers for these years. Such coverage makes it possible to follow an argument or policy development in some detail.
Several sensitive items have been retained by the FCO, and were therefore not available for inclusion.

In this five part series part I will be elaborating the gateway control flow components and how we can use them to define the flow of our process.
Gateways are very similar to a flowchart decision element. Using a gateway you can define the control points within your process by splitting and merging paths. At runtime a gateway will determine based on the control points defined at design time the path that a token will take through a process.
There are five gateway types; Exclusive Gateway (XOR), Inclusive Gateway (OR), Parallel Gateway, Event Based Gateway and Complex Gateway.
Exclusive and Inclusive gateways consist of two outbound sequence flows; a default sequence flow representing the normal path between two objects and a conditional sequence flow to control the process flow based on the evaluation of an expression.
The "Exclusive Gateway" is one of the most commonly used gateways where you can split your process into two or more paths. When a token reaches an exclusive gateway each of the conditional outbound sequence flows is evaluated in the order that you specified during design time when configuring the exclusive gateway and the first conditional flow that is evaluated to true is taken. If none of the conditional outbound sequence flows evaluates to true then then token moves down the default sequence flow. Please note that if you do not specify a default outbound sequence flow on an "Exclusive Gateway" you will get an error at design time and will not be able to compile and deploy your process.
So let's see how you use an "Exclusive Gateway" to control the flow of a process. I have created a new BPM application using the "BPM Application" JDeveloper template and in the "Project SOA Settings" step i have selected "Composite with BPMN Process".
In the arguments step I have created two input arguments, OrderId of type int and OrderAmount of type decimal, and an output argument, Status of type string.
When you click finish it will open the process. Using the structure window I have created three process data objects to store the input arguments I have created above and hold the output argument value (orderId of type int, orderTotal of type decimal and status of type string).
Next I assigned the two input arguments (OrderId and OrderTotal) to the process data objects (orderId, orderTotal) by double-clicking on the "Start" activity, going to the "Implementation" tab and selecting "Data Associations".
Please note that i did the same thing for the "End" activity but this time i have mapped the status process data object to the Status output argument.
Just for demo purpose I came up with a very simple scenario where I will use an exclusive gateway to auto approve an order if the order total is less than 100 and to set the status to pending if the order total is greater than 100. I would like to stress that this is just for demo purposes as I would highly recommend that you use a business rules component to store the order total threshold rather than hard-coding it in the process.
Furthermore I dropped two script tasks, one between the exclusive gateway and the end activity and one just above the first script task and mapped the two status values (auto approved and pending) respectively using the "Data Associations" on each of the script tasks.
When you dropped the exclusive gateway between the start and end activity it automatically joined the exclusive gateway with the end activity using a default outbound sequence flow. Next I have created a conditional outbound sequence flow from the exclusive gateway to the "Set Order Status to Pending" script task and defined an XPath expression to check whether the orderTotal is greater than 100.
I finally provided some labels on the two outbound flow to make them better readable and joined the second script task with the end activity as follows.
Deploy your process on the integrated Weblogic server and run a test using a small order (having an order total of less than 100). The process should follow the default outbound flow and the order should be auto-approved.
Now run another test with an order having an order total of greater than 100. The process should follow the conditional outbound flow and the order should be flagged as pending.
An exclusive gateway can also be used to define a loop to check for conditions and re-executing previous steps. So to define a loop using an exclusive gateway just connect a sequence flow to a previous object.

Man gets waxed to raise money for seven-year-old Hornchurch girl fighting cancer
PUBLISHED: 12:02 01 April 2014 | UPDATED: 14:12 01 April 2014
A man got a full body wax to raise money for brave Hornchurch girl Joni- Mai Stevens.
Craig Jackson, 41, decided to have a full body wax at Kearns gym, Abbs Cross Gardens, Hornchurch, to help raise money for Joni- Mai, who is fighting a rare form of cancer for the second time in her young life.
His decision paid off as he managed to raise around £1,200.
He had originally been aiming to raise £500, so the fundraising total exceeded his expectations.
Speaking about the painful fundraiser, his wife Jane Jackson said: "It did hurt but he was very brave. He's ok now, just a bit sore."
Craig and Joni- Mai's father, Kevin Stevens, used to work together at Havering council around 14 years ago.
Craig and Jane have since moved to Cambridge, but they have made sure to stay in touch with the family.
Jane said: "They're our friends and we just wanted to do something.
"My husband worked with Joni's dad and they kept in contact."
Asked how Joni- Mai's parents felt about her husband's fundraising, Jane said: "They were pleased, they appreciated it."
Jane said that people had been very supportive and generous when they heard about her husband's plan to raise money for Joni- Mai's treatment.
"Considering we have just asked friends, colleagues and on Facebook, it's been a good response," she said.
Joni- Mai was first diagnosed with ewing's sarcoma, a rare form of primary bone cancer found in children, in 2011. In September 2012 she was in remission but around 15 months later received the heartbreaking diagnosis of relapsed ewing's sarcoma.
Her parents, Holly and Kevin Stevens, are now raising money to take their daughter to America for specialist treatment.

Finally! He's home!!! I went to the vets today with my Mom and my best friend Michael. It was really funny because all the techs had a little party for him...I couldn't believe it. They said he was one of the best patients they ever had because most patients will be all hissy and impatient because of being locked up. Not the Opmaster! :LOL: He's really a cool dude! Ha! So, I was really relieved. Not only did Opie have a successful operation, but we made some really nice friends over there too.
Well, the prognosis looks pretty good. He's going to be in a cage for about another week or so. I have some meds for him including prednisone, but I'm not supposed to use that one unless he appears to be in bad pain (which he hasn't had pain meds for over a day and the doc doubts very seriously that he needs it) He's already putting pressure on that one leg and the doc's very happy with his progress. So am I!!!
I put him in the spare room until the cage is ready and I noticed that Cash, Cary and Murphy were playing footsies with him under the door. That was soooo cute to see! :laughing2:laughing2 :LOL::LOL: Murphy knows Opie...Cash and Cary don't (but soon enough!) Anyway, I have to go finish his condo...Just another door and it's done, he even has a skylight! :LOL: :laughing2: I'm so happy!!!!
I'll keep ya posted and thanks so much for all your love!
Love & Major Hugs,

Crystal H.I have had plenty of moving experience, especially during college! As much as I believe in putting down roots, I also believe in shaking things up and sharing in new experiences. My advice when it comes to moving is plan ahead and get as much done as possible before the actual moving day. This is not just because I am a planner in general, but also because I believe in enjoying the experience and celebrating the move once it is done. Both of these become difficult if you are stressing about the last minute details or trying to catch up on a month's worth of work!

The athletic profile will highlight the student athlete's athletic and academic achievements. We will include the student athlete's picture in their athletic gear if at all possible. If there is recruiting video, that will be included on the athletic profile as well.
The athletic profile will constantly be updated with new information on that student athlete's athletic achievements along with any academic achievements.
If there are additional videos they will be included as well.
College coaches love information. College coaches want to be constantly updated on what that student athlete is doing from game to game during their season and throughout the academic school year.
Developing a target list of college programs. Our scouts at Woods Recruiting will help the student athlete choose the appropriate college programs to target. Our scouts are not just going to focus on Division I programs.
We're going to focus on college programs that fit the needs of student athletes. We're going to focus on Division I, Division II, Division III athletic programs, and NAIA athletic programs.
And for those student athletes who do not qualify academically, the focus will be on athletic programs at junior colleges.
Note: The scout, the student athlete, and the parents will decide, as a group, on the appropriate college programs to target. It's critical to spread out the number of college programs and not focus solely on Division I.
If the Division I opportunity is available there is no doubt our scouts can help you reach that level.
Your Dream Is To Play In College
Targeting college programs for recruitment
At Woods Recruiting it is a collaborative effort to target appropriate college programs for our student-athletes.
We have several of methods we use to build relationships with college coaches.
Starting the recruiting process early enough I will give you the student-athlete a greater chance of receiving maximum exposure from college coaches.
The later you start the recruiting process you will run the risk of eliminating college programs from the recruiting process before you even get started.
Keep in mind the recruiting process is exactly that it is a process that takes several weeks if not months to build relationships with college coaches by effectively getting information directly to them.
Our job is to target a strong list of appropriate college programs for college exposure.
We will leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of the best college opportunity for all of our student-athletes.
Consult and educate. We understand the recruiting process can be somewhat complicated to understand and figure out. Our Scouts and woods recruiting have been trained and educated on all aspects of the recruiting process.
Many of our Scouts are former College athletes, High School coaches Club coaches and youth coaches.
our job is to help educate and consult with you on all aspects of the recruiting process so you do not waste valuable time and make critical errors that could cost you a great deal of hardship frustration anger and pain in the recruiting process.
It seems as though the rules of the college recruiting process are always changing, but in reality it is the interpretation of the rules of the recruiting process that are changing.
Parents of student-athletes if you go at the college recruiting process alone you could run the risk of making critical errors our job is to help guide you through the process and help you find the best college athletic opportunity available.
In all the years I have been in the recruiting business procrastination on the part of parents and student-athletes has been devastating. There are only so many days in the recruiting process a day loss is a day you cannot ever make up.
College programs are identifying talented student-athletes earlier than ever before.
If your name is not in front of college coaches then you have a major college recruiting problem. Everyday, every week you sit back and think about what you should do college coaches have moved on to other recruitable student-athletes.
Don't let procrastination be the Killer of the recruiting process and destroy your dreams of ever going to college and getting an education. Put your trust in Woods Recruiting we will not let you down.
Woods Recruiting cannot guarantee a full athletic scholarship. Woods Recruiting or any of our scouts cannot promise a full athletic scholarship. We can guarantee that we will do our very best and give you 110% of our efforts, knowledge, and experience to achieve college placement.
Sometimes there are factors that prohibit student athletes from getting recruited and placed in college that are out of the control of Woods Recruiting.
Throughout the history of Woods Recruiting, we have maintained a 95% success rate. Five percent of the student athletes we worked with do not get recruited or placed in college.
Sometimes the reasons are somewhat ridiculous on the part of the student athletes and their parents. Bad grades. Criminal behavior. Poor social media behavior.
Woods Recruiting started in 1989. The number one goal has always been to assist student-athletes with the college recruiting process.
We take pride in the work we do on behalf of high school student-athletes every single day.
Our passion has always been helping as many student-athletes as we possibly can while not trying to make it about money.
Money is important don't get me wrong but many recruiting services lose sight of why they're in the business in the first place.
We will continue to serve and assist and guide and educate as many high school student-athletes as possible.
student-athletes, you only get one chance to go from high school athlete to college athlete, Let Woods Recruiting recruiting guide you every step through the challenging college recruiting process, we will not let you down.

Is this ad supposed to accomplish something? The reader takes away NOTHING. Except a horrible blonde joke that isn't remotely funny.
This is the kind of ad that makes me sad to be in this business. Try harder please.
i like it too... dont take it so seriously... just advertising... and it makes you smile

Sometimes you have to enlarge the image more to see the real stuff.
Sometimes you still need to go deeper... and try to get out the message.
and sometimes you just have to Enjoy it without any reason... until someones asks you to Wipe that silly Grin out of your face.

It's a full Ironman.
- 2.4 mile swim (3.86 km), athletes have 2 hours, 20 minutes to complete it
- 112 mile cycle (180.25 km), athletes have 8 hours to complete it
- 26.2 mile marathon run (42.2 km), athletes have 6 hours, 30 minutes to complete it.
This week the nights have gone down to 9 degrees Celsius 9 (48 F). The days sometimes warmed up to 15 degrees Celsius (59 F). All this, and just last week some of us were bemoaning temperatures around 32 C (90 F), with a little humidity.
Today I felt very lucky to enjoy a few quiet moments at the Ironman swim departure site after the meeting of volunteer kayakers for swim support.
Tomorrow morning, the swim depart site will be quite the opposite when the beach and water is filled with action, athletes, and tremendous energy.
Each swim buoy marker is 130 metres (426.5 feet) apart along the 2.4 mile swim. The 2.4 mile swim distance may not look like much on a small map that you see in a local newspaper. But, when you see the Zodiac boats hauling out, and quietly placing each numbered marker, the scale of the swim, and the distance the athletes will cover, suddenly starts to come into stark perspective. Wow! I'm happy I'll be in a kayak.
There are 13 numbered yellow buoys heading out from the swim depart at the Tremblant Beach and Tennis Club - they disappear quickly in the fog - there's a turning point - the swim is a loop - and 13 orange numbered buoys on the return stretch to Parc Plage. The distance between the yellow and orange buoys in the middle of the loop is about 400 metres (.2 miles). Swim support is inside and outside the swim loop and there are some resting platforms along the way at specified buoys.
There are many more details and lots of professional support for the athletes, but let's rest before the event and enjoy the peaceful foggy views.
It is my first experience as a volunteer for an Ironman competition. The dedication, organization, and the volunteer and professional support for the athletes at the event is incredible. Of course, the dedication and training the athletes go through, and the support from their families is another story. Why they do it is their story.
During the event, of course, we volunteer kayakers are on duty and working. No photos. The media and event photogs are onsite for that.
Happy and safe trails.

How would you score the apocalypse? What would the end of the world sound like if you put it to music? Perhaps it would be wrapped in a Western twang with notes of regret, longing, uncertainty, and struggle playing throughout. Whatever the end result, it wouldn't be your typical sword-and-sorcery anthem.
This was the task given to the Fallen Earth team of Lead Composer Enrique Varela and Audio Director Michael Franke: to put the apocalypse to music. In addition to faction themes, the team wanted to create music to compliment the emotions that players would most likely experience while traveling the wasteland. "My intentions were to have a range of moods, playing with dichotomies," Varela said. "You have negative or dark moods such as fear, sadness, suspense, danger, and then you have positive or light moods like triumph, tranquility, security."
Franke put it best, not just for Fallen Earth but for all MMO music, when he said, "I really wanted the audio to melt into the game's setting, and become another believable part of the world. For me, the highest compliment is when a player can leave that little check-box for sound alone."
It's a Western apocalypse, and it's all ours to listen to in this week's Jukebox Heroes!

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of "Dilemmas in a general theory of planning" (1973), a seminal paper in which Rittel and fellow planning professor Melvin Webber formally presented the thesis that numerous problems in planning, management, and policy-making are by nature wicked, and stand in sharp contrast to the problems of engineering and sciences. They identified 10 properties typical of wicked problems 03/07/2013Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies, AUT 2 MULTIPLE REASONS TO ENVISION
Indeterminacy in problem formulation Non-definitiveness in problem solution Non-solubility Irreversible consequentiality Individual uniqueness 03/07/2013Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies, AUT 3 40 YEARS AGO TODAY …
03/07/2013Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies, AUT 4 SIMON VS.RITTEL & WEBER? POPULAR CONFUSIONS AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS
Engineering, medicine, business, architecture, and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent not with how things are but with how they might be in short, with design Artificial systems and adaptive systems have properties that make them particularly susceptible to simulation via simplified models. We have usually thought of city planning as a means whereby the planner's creative activity could build a system that would satisfy the needs of a populace. Perhaps we should think of city planning as a valuable creative activity in which many members of a community can have the opportunity of participating if we have wits to organize the process that way. Design for distant futures would be wholly impossible if remote events had to be envisioned in detail. What makes such design even conceivable is that we need to know or guess about the future only enough to guide the commitments we must make today. We can view the matter quite symmetrically. An artifact can be thought of as a meeting point an "interface" in today's terms between an "inner" environment, the substance and organization of the artifact itself, and an ''outer" environment, the surroundings in which it operates. If the inner environment is appropriate to the outer environment, or vice versa, the artifact will serve its intended purpose. Thus, if the clock is immune to buffeting, it will serve as a ship's chronometer. Feedback mechanisms, on the other hand, by continually responding to discrepancies between a system's actual and desired states, adapt it to long-range fluctuations in the environment without forecasting. In whatever directions the environment changes, the feedback adjustment tracks it, with of course some delay. Thus the traditional definition of the professional's role is highly compatible with bounded rationality, which is most comfortable with problems having clear-cut and limited goals. But as knowledge grows, the role of the professional comes under questioning. Developments in technology give professionals the power to produce larger and broader effects at the same time that they become more clearly aware of the remote consequences of their prescriptions. 03/07/2013Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies, AUT 5 CONTINGENCY, ARTEFACTS, AND SOME OTHER (ECONOMIC) THOUGHTS
In spite of its many achievements, however, working with wicked problems is still an evolving and, to a large extent, emerging enterprise in a stage of enlightenment. Much of its research and scholarship, as substantive as it may seem, remains largely a repetitive description of the social reality of wickedness, rather than well-grounded theoretical explorations or empirical investigations. The focus has been placed upon raising awareness, preaching for acceptance, and advocating creative adaptation strategies and innovative approaches. But little has been reported on exactly how these ideas and proposed approaches can be operationalized 03/07/2013Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies, AUT 6 PROBLEM

New tools for health is an cluster based in East Sweden, the aim of which is to create new products and services that result in more efficient healthcare and increased independence – with the home as a base. In partnership with other stakeholders that support innovation, we support mobile solutions based on information and communication technology within four focus areas: patients with diabetes and heart failure, as well as fall prevention and to ensure that the elderly feel safe and socially included.

A persona is an archetypical users based primarily on ethnographic studies of real users. A persona consists usually of a couple of pages of description of demographics, behavioural patterns, goals, abilities, attitudes and environments, as well as personal details that are included to make the persona come to life. It is also given a name to make it easy to refer to and envision as a real person.

There is nothing wrong with the memory so far. Then it's worse with night vision. Torsten works out regularly together with some friends. He has seen some old people who were alone and stopped eating properly. Anna, his wife, is feeling much better now than before when she was in great pain. She relies less on the walker now. There is luckily an elevator in the house. Torsten want contact with government officials, pharmacy or doctor in person. Phone is all right, but it's better to meet them. He says: "As long as I can go to a pharmacy and I will do you so." Since Anna became ill, the apartment is full of assistive equipment, and it occasionally goes wrong when using it. They live in a rental apartment of 72 square meters, two rooms and a kitchen. The area is good but it feels a little less safe than it did before. Torsten has a cell phone. The first one he got from one of the sons who would buy a new one. He is not so interested in trying out services supported by mobile phone or computer. Actually, he doesn't have a computer. Torsten understands well how mechanical engineering works, but the new technology is more difficult. He uses a manual when he will learn something, or he wants to be told face-to-face how new things work. Sometimes he gets help from the children. It is worrying if the technology makes direct human contact decrease. 03/07/2013Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies, AUT 12 MAPPING WHAT IS Figure 1.

"Too bad I don't have time to get to know them better, but... what now?", Åke thinks as Annas husband Toersten comes into the room and shouts, "Hey you! Who are you?" Åke helps Anna into her wheelchair and Torsten asks: "You are not a thief are you?" Åke thinks to himself: "Oh, this is tough. I'm just doing my job."

At a 5,000-square-foot gym in Rio Grande, N.J., a half dozen members cluster around a large metal frame with various handles, ropes, bars and built-in benches to help its users bend, stretch and twist themselves into an array of positions.
Dottie Drake, a registered nurse and the gym owner, is there to help them master those moves.
The gym, Fitness First for Women and Seniors, is one of a growing number of fitness centers that are beginning to replace stretching mats with more elaborate equipment.
Ms. Drake bought the Stretch Zone stretching station, made by Keiser Corporation, about a year ago. The semicircular frame can be used to perform 17 different stretches and can accommodate up to eight people at once. Ms. Drake says the machine provides support and structure for those who would normally have trouble stretching.
''Some of my clients are 95 years old,'' Ms. Drake said. ''They have trouble getting down onto the floor and getting up again.''
Cynthia Groves, a spokeswoman for Keiser, based in Fresno, Calif., said that sales were initially slow for the Stretch Zone when it was introduced about two and a half years ago but have picked up in the last 12 months.
Ms. Groves speculates that this new demand is due in part to the release of the American College of Sports Medicine's 1998 exercise guidelines which, for the first time ever, recommended that people who exercise regularly should stretch at least twice a week to preserve flexibility.
The sports medicine report definitely increased awareness of the importance of stretching, Ms. Groves said. More than 250 fitness centers have bought a Stretch Zone or the smaller Stretch Corner this year.
Precor U.S.A. has also succeeded with its Stretch Trainer, a machine with a seat designed to tilt backward as the user leans forward. A combination of body weight and gravity help control the intensity of the stretch and by switching hand and leg positions, the user can stretch nearly every muscle in the body without getting out of the seat. Since its introduction in late 1997, more than 4,500 of the $399 units have been sold to home users. About 3,000 of the larger, more substantial gym models have been sold this year.
The Stretch Zone and Stretch Trainer are among the various stretching apparatus that are being marketed to consumers and gyms.
Richard Miller, owner of the Gym Source, an exercise equipment supplier in New York, speculates that manufacturers are attempting to create a new category of fitness machines because sales of cardiovascular and strength training equipment have been flat in recent years.
''I'm not sure that the trend will last,'' Mr. Miller said, ''because stretching with apparatus is less natural than stretching without. Machines isolate one part of the body at a time which is less effective than incorporating additional muscles into the stretch.''
Mr. Miller suggests that smaller stretching devices like the Pro Stretch, a small half moon shaped piece of plastic engineered to stretch the ankle and foot, have the most staying power because this area is difficult to stretch otherwise. It sells for about $30.
Others also question the necessity of using an expensive device to increase flexibility. In a study, not yet published, Dr. Barry Bates, a professor of biomechanics and human performance at the University of Oregon at Eugene, had 40 subjects ages 20 to 60 perform regular stretching routines for eight weeks. Half of the subjects used a device similar to the Precor Stretch Trainer and half stretched without using any equipment. At the end of the study, Dr. Bates found virtually identical flexibility gains among both groups.
But Dr. Bates added that those who used machines liked them and got more incentive to stretch. And, they reported that the machines made stretching physically and psychologically easier.
''There is merit to the fact that some people may be more inclined to stretch if they have a thing that helps them do it,'' Dr. Bates said. ''Having something to interact with can make a big difference.''
Dr. Bates also said he believed there might be some advantage to having a piece of equipment to help control body positioning and the extent of the stretch. ''This may help prevent overstretching and injury,'' he added.

How cool is this?
This here is the Hövding. Just when I think I've found the most extreme, most ridiculous-yet-somehow admirable example of bike-innovation design (I still kinda lust after the handlebar-mounted flamethrower and deployable front ski of the BOND Bike) I get something like this brought to my attention (thanks, Shelly!) and the bar is raised once again.
This thing is, essentially, an airbag for your head. When you're involved in a collision, gyroscopes and accelerometers in the collar determine that it is in fact a collision, and trigger the helium that inflates the collar. All before you hit the ground.
(Listen for the stifled snicker when the bike flips end-for-end in the last test. It's cute.)
Yeah, you may say, but that's a bit iffy, isn't it? You can do lots of things while you're wearing this collar that might look to the sensors like you were in an accident. Like suddenly looking over your shoulder - POW! Airbag! Or leaning over to check your panniers - POW! Airbag! Bending over to tie your shoe - POW! Plus, what if you just weave into the curb and topple over (I've done it: I'm not proud of it, but I've done it, back when I was first on the road and got between a bus and the curb)? That's a pretty gentle accident, but you could still whack your head - would the sensors know in time to deploy?
Apparently, though, they've tested for all that, the two Swedish industrial design students - Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin - who designed this as a masters thesis. They've run it through tons of variations, using both dummies and (very brave) stunt people. Plus, this thing learns. It connects by USB to a "black box" that saves the last ten seconds of data before your crash and stores it for later prediction. (It also uses the USB port to recharge.) No, really. Come on, how nifty is that?

Oh man. I'd heard this discussed on a cycling podcast, but I hadn't seen it, and I did in fact wonder if it would deploy when you simply swerved or looked over your shoulder. Apparently they've taken that into consideration already. Damn those Swedes are good.
Katie - AnonymousNovember 5, 2010 at 11:57 AM
if it offered the same protection as your regular helment, + this added bonus protection, then why not?
ReplyDelete Seeing that dummy falling back onto the car hood, my first thought was "gee, they should really extend that airbag to protect the spine as well as the head"
also @biblioblond: the black box can be useful when the motorist who hit you starts lying to the cops about having done so, in order to avoid an increase in their insurance rates.

Thanks for helping!
Share another experience before you go.We had a large group, we were seated immediately, buffet was good and so was the wait staff. Trouble when it came to the bill but no biggie they corrected all the problems.
I have eaten here many times but today was my last visit.. the food was horrible. The Egg drop soup tasted like fish, and was a funny looking color...the food all tasted old like it had been sitting out. Used to love the Sushi bar they had but they cut back and nothing looked fresh.. the few pieces I tried... More
We've been going to this buffet for 7 years. We've never had a bad meal here and the service is always friendly. There is a large selection of food and even some non-Chinese options for kids (and adults too!) like pizza and even fried chicken wings. Very large selection of sushi. I'm not sure why there are bad reviews for... More
Quick, no crowds, OK food, OK selection, nothing to write home about. It's close to us, & sometimes the mood just hits us.
We love taking our family here for dinner or lunch. We have been their customers since they opened. They have a wonderful selection of items and a very attentive wait staff. I particularly like the boiled shrimp, my wife the sushi and our 4 year old, the egg rolls and egg drop soup. We all go for the many desserts... More
Grand Buffet was an OK place to eat years ago, but it's pretty much disgusting now. The food is rarely fresh, but rather old and dried out and often not hot on top.
