We are purveyors of the camp lifestyle. We aim to bring the magic of sleeping under the stars within reach for folks that don't necessarily have the time or gear for DIY camping.
Our Pop-Up Service supplies furnished bell tents for special occasions: festivals, weddings, retreats and the like.
Our boutique campground, in development, provides an easy getaway spot for folks that want to feel like they've escaped to nature but are still close to urban amenities.
What's our story? Well, we like adventure and we can't think of anything more adventurous than running our own business. We spent the past year living and traveling in southern Spain and weren't content settling back into the nine to five routine. Upon returning, we purchased a 1974 VW camper and spent the summer camping and tootling around. Through these adventures (and misadventures) we have refined the art of comfortable outdoor adventuring. Our experiences traveling and being outdoors have informed the design of our business. We want to make it easy to get outside and stay outside.

What is your WHY? Your why for improving your health has to be a gargantuan beast to that of your excuses, obstacles and tragedies. Why? Because I've been overweight and had trouble catching my breath. I've been the one to blame my schedule or injuries, and I've gone through tragedies that have ultimately changed my life. The only thing that got me out of bed to face a new day was that I had 51 reasons WHY I should get better over my 50 excuses not to.
As a prior athlete, former military service member and competitive martial arts practitioner, it's fair to say been around the block a few times. I've helped people through all walks of life whether that be the fearless serving our country meet their own rigorous fitness standards, the elderly the ability to walk on their own and play with their grandchildren, or transforming individuals to lose more than 100 pounds.
I believe in functional fitness, progression and variety. There is no one size fits all to this equation. I expect you to show up and bring your best because there is no substitution for hard work.

There aren't a lot of organizations in which I am fully confident. If you have a heart to do something outside of your normal day to day life, my encouragement to you is this...GO TO THIS WEBSITE and read about this family and this organization. If you can't personally go and do, please consider donating to the great work they do to honor their beautiful daughter, Olivia.
Olivia Ray was a beautiful ten year old little girl who loved travelling the world with her family as they worked with a variety of humanitarian organizations.
Dedicated to Olivia, Olivia's Basket provides aid and support to special projects around the world, helping those in need.
Olivia's Basket is a natural extension of our family as we continue to serve. It is not meant as a way to give value to Olivia's life, because we believe her life already had a beautiful intended purpose. And though she was young, Olivia loved being able to help others.
And this is what Olivia's Basket is dedicated to; helping others.
To date, through generous gifts from hundreds of people, and over one hundred volunteers, we have built seventeen new homes in Mexico and Honduras.
Each day when Olivia left for school she heard, "Olivia be a light today. You never know if there is somebody who who needs a hug or just needs needs someone to be nice to them."
This is why we are here. And this is what we love doing; telling everyone we meet that good things happen when we work together.
Please explore oliviasbasket.org and be encouraged.
And consider being a special part of helping others in honor of a special girl.
Thank you from all of us. We are the Ray family,

We started out as a group of friends who moved to Jackson Hole, WY lived in our cars, rock climbed full time and gardened part time. The summer weaned and demand for firewood waxed. Having a newly defined love for the woods we thought it would be neat to cut the dead wood out of the forest and heat people's homes. Between our group of friends we owned a truck, a chainsaw and could obtain enough firewood permits between ourselves to provide wood for the residents of Jackson Hole. With the right tools and the desire to work we went at it, and each summer we cleaned the forests and prevented wildfires from spreading and paying for college.
Seeing the beautiful designs these dead trees would create with their soft grain patterns we fell for wood faster than we were falling the dead wood of the forest. Although most of the wood we removed was used for firewood we occasionally found beautiful pieces with extravagant natural knots, twists, shapes, and patterns. We would save these unique beauties for ourselves to make center pieces and art for peoples homes and give them as gifts.
Although our efforts have been great in reducing the risk for wild fire, we felt we could give back more to the earth. In our firewood efforts we learned and came to a new understanding that the earth had provided us with much more than work; that work provided us fitness, food, intelligence, peace of mind, a way through college, and lasting relationships with the people of Jackson Hole and the surrounding areas.
For every hammock you buy two trees are planted. Hence the name Madera. We love giving back and since the nature of the business is...well, nature... we naturally owe all our efforts to the very thing that inspired us. We have partnered with Trees for the future to plant trees in remote parts of the world.
Our Partner; Trees for the future not only plants trees, they teach local farmers about nitrogen fixation and sustainable farming. Trees are planted in many locations in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Uganda, Ethopia, Southern Africa, etc.

This is the best storyline that the Pokémon series has done (Disclaimer: I still haven't played Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky). Witness one of the most successful video game franchise tell the story of Lillie, an shy girl who carries a Pokémon called Nebby in a duffle bag. If that wasn't enough, Pokémon borrows from real-world biology once again and provides regional variants of Pokémon we've become familiar with.
Phoenix Wright travels to the Kingdom of Khurai'n to meet up with Maya Fey, but quickly discovers that their court system there is so corrupt that lawyers don't even exist. Meanwhile, Apollo Justice rediscovers his past and finally gets the game he deserves!
Undertale's genocide path is one of the most unique experience in video games that works specifically because of it's narrative. It's boring, it's lonely, it's depressing and it's extremely frustrating – It's trying its damn hardest to get you, the player, to quit because you are a heartless serial killer. And if you succeed in your quest, be prepared to have the game permanently altered.
Undertale is such an incredible video game story that I had to make this a two-part review. The premise is simple: every monster you encounter in the game can be killed or spared. Should you choose to be a heartless murderer, the game will treat use as such. Conversely, should you choose to extend the hand of friendship to each monster you meet, you may find a way to save them all.
After a long hiatus, the Ace Attorney series returned on the 3DS with a game that references all the tropes that made the series so good. Phoenix Wright has his badge back, Apollo Justice was given a better backstory and Athena Cykes, our newest lawyer, joins the team to prove the innocence of a man who once saved her life.
Following up the Ace Attorney trilogy was never going to be easy, but radically changing Phoenix Wright's character in order to shoehorn him into the story where he didn't belong? Overall, it seemed like the ace attorney formula was running out of steam.
When the first Ace Attorney game was remade for the Nintendo DS, it was given an extra case: Rise from the Ashes. Surprisingly, this case was adapted into a musical by Takarazuka Revue in Japan. What's even more surprising is that it worked really well, leading me to wonder if we should try to make more video game musical adaptations.
On a fateful night, opera singer Red becomes targeted by a nefarious organization seeking to provide stability to an every-changing virtual world. Guided by the voice of her lover trapped inside The Transistor, she seeks to save what's left of the world now crumbling around her.
After the world was literally torn into pieces by the calamity, a kid seeks out the bastion. Along the way, his actions (directed by you) are narrated by a man who hopes to undo the events that destroyed the world.

A Barcelona Foodies Experience is a delicious and fulfilling (as well as belly filling!) way to get to know this incredible city. While Spanish cooking classes are incredibly popular too, it's always nice to have it prepared for you! Are you a real food lover? Do you seek out the best cuisine on every trip that you take? Or maybe you're a tentative foodie – you usually check review websites for the best restaurants in your area, but sometimes you fall into the tourist traps that line Barcelona's busy streets. Guarantee your group a delectable day of authentic Spanish cuisine with our Barcelona Foodies Experience. Be it a treat during a corporate trip or an exciting activity for a hungry holidaymaker, a private food tour is a great choice that everyone can get involved in. This three-hour exploration is sure to excite and amaze your whole group.
Market Culture
Barcelona's markets are at the heart and soul of everyday life in the old and beautiful city. People will shop multiple times a week just to make sure they have the freshest products possible for their cooking. No food tour is complete without a trip through one of the finest displays of local produce – the Boqueria market, located on the historic Las Ramblas, the most famous street in Barcelona. This enormous and diverse market will bring the origins of Spanish food to life by providing a multi-sensory experience. See, smell, hear, touch, and most importantly, taste the flavours of Barcelona with an expert guide to demystify the market's contents. How do people choose which stall to shop at? What's the best time to visit the market? How long have these stalls been here? Have all these questions answered and more on your private food tour.
Barcelona Gastronomy - The produce
There's nothing more important than keeping well fed on a trip. Barcelona is a city that is very easy to walk around and there are so many things that can be seen using your own two feet rather than a bus or a train. This takes the right kind of fuel. Taking a private food tour with the Barcelona Foodies Experience provides your group with the exceptional food. Try the world-famous Spanish jamón – cured pork taken from the hind leg of the famous Iberian pigs which are unique to Spain and Portugal – and some other local snacks that will give you a snapshot of the quality foods available in the capital of Catalonia.
Thirst Quenching: Catalan Wine & Cava
A private food tour, of course, will also need some drinks to go alongside the tempting snacks. The Barcelona Foodies Experience provides your group with a refreshing glass of the regional sparkling wine, Cava. Cava is Catalonia's answer to champagne and goes perfectly with so many different foods. It's also a great aperitif that can be drank morning, noon and night. This private food tour also incorporates a wine tasting! Explore Spain through her diverse wines and learn about how special Spanish wine can be.
Tour breakdown
Over three hours, you will…
- Have an expert guide to lead your group
- Walk through some of the old city of Barcelona
- Visit the Boqueria market*
- Try two delicious morsels directly from market vendors
- "Jamón" tasting
- Wine tasting.

Zoe Ma Ma, which Gretchen Kurtz reviews this week, gets compliments for the setup at its new Denver location, as well as for its downhome Chinese fare. But one thing isn't drawing raves: a 15 percent sustainability initiative fee that's added to all tabs unless a customer specifically opts out. Owner Edwin Zoe says the "first priority" of the fee is to give his employees a living Wage. "Principally, it makes no sense to me that we, as one of the richest nations, pay dedicated, hard-working people, many with families and children, minimum wages that cannot afford them reasonable housing, education, or health care," he explains. But Daniel isn't buying it:
F That....Tip all you want, but do not put the server's new salary on my bill.
Have you eaten at the Zoe Ma Ma by Union Station? What do you think of the food? The sustainability initiative fee?

There are two important factors to consider when deciding on a term deposit. The first is the length of term you're willing to commit to; the second is the amount you wish to deposit.
The length of time and amount of your deposit will determine the fixed-interest rate you receive. With this in mind, you can now compare deals on offer by different banks and financial institutions.
The most common term deposits on offer are three-, six-, 12- and 24-month terms. However, some banks, credit unions and building societies advertise deals for four-, five- and seven-month terms.
Often, these special offers are often only available for a limited period of time and require a minimum or maximum balance.
When considering a seven-month special term deposit, you first need to find out who's offering one, and the size of the deposit needed. From there, it's a simple comparison between interest rates.
How is interest paid on a term deposit?
How interest is paid on a term deposit will depend on what you've agreed to. Interest on term deposits can be paid on maturity, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually.
The choice of interest payment is often fixed to the term. For example, you might only be able to choose to have your interest paid monthly if you invest for 12 months or more.
However, it's safe to assume that the longer you leave your interest before it's paid, the higher the interest rate you'll receive.
How the interest is paid on a seven-month special term deposit may vary to the standard options, and may not be negotiable at all.
Many term deposit special offers, such as seven-month terms, pay interest only at maturity.
Before you settle on a particular term deposit, it's worth running a calculation to see what your estimated return will be. There's a range of online calculators available that provide this function.
The actual value of your return may depend on whether you withdraw money during the term, what frequency you opt for interest to be paid, or whether there are any exit fees or charges.
Can I withdraw money from my term deposit?
There's no law preventing you from withdrawing your money from a seven-month special term deposit, or any other term deposit, ahead of schedule. If you want to access your money before it matures, it's likely to incur a penalty and/or administrative fee.
To do this, you would need to provide notice of your intention to withdraw funds from the term deposit. This notice period varies from bank to bank and can be anywhere up to 31 days.
Most banks and financial institutions offering term deposits will outline whether or not the interest rate will be reduced if you withdraw money from your term deposit before it reaches maturity.
A term deposit is a cash investment where your money is invested for an agreed rate of interest over a fixed amount of time, or term.
Before taking out a seven-month special term deposit, be sure that the amount of money you're prepared to deposit can be off-limits for the agreed time.

Travel Success Tips: How to Enhance Your Vacation by:Sam Serio
The majority of people look to have the perfect vacation when they take time off work today. The world is an extremely stressful place these days and it can be difficult to relax when at home as a result. The stresses and strains of modern day life can really cause problems regarding the health of most individuals as well as affecting family life and personal relationships. It is therefore essential that anyone travelling to get away for a week do just that. Travel success is much sought after, but it is up to you to go out and get it.
The perfect vacation should have several qualities. All are the same for everybody in terms of the travel success tip, but there is no one solution for everyone. You really have to examine what it is that you want from your vacation in order to achieve travel success. So without further ado, here are the tips that can make the perfect vacation for you:
- What are your main interests? - If you hate lying on a beach for hours on end and feel bored just thinking about it then a beach holiday would not make the perfect vacation for you! Travel success is all about enjoyment and having fun so you need to assess what sort of activities will make you happy and ensure that you forget about the world at home for a while. If you love culture then go for a city break to somewhere like Florence in Italy or Dublin in Ireland. If you do like a beach break then Cancun, Mexico or Montego Bay in Jamaica may fulfil your needs. Choose wisely and enjoy yourself for a while.
- Decide upon your budget - Travel success is all about relieving stress so the perfect vacation will not cause you financial difficulties and the stress that brings when you get back! If you formulate a budget that highlights what you can afford to spend and stick to it then you can do as you please within that boundary and still be comfortable when you get home.
- Decide who you want to take with you - Taking the whole family with you may be as stressful as if you were at work but simply taking your partner and your children would allow you to have the perfect vacation and achieve travel success. Travel success is spending time with your immediate family and/or partner because you may not see them from day to day back in the real world so create some sort of idyll for yourself!
- Prepare in advance - There is nothing worse than leaving the preparation and packing until the last minute because you are bound to forget something. Making preparations well in advance will set you well on the way to achieving travel success and the perfect vacation! Make a list and pack exactly what you need without the extras and then you can settle into your vacation without stress and hassle!
Travel success is not hard to achieve, but improper planning and poor judgement can make it the vacation from hell. If you only get a few weeks off a year to enjoy yourself then be sure to make the most of them with travel success!

Not all mediators have the same style in conducting a mediation. There is no set mediator formula that is followed by all. The mediator's personality and background are very much part of the style. That should be no surprise to students of human nature but to someone unfamiliar with the mediation process it might come as a bit of a shock to learn that the mediator's style during the mediation greatly affects the likelihood of success. This particular blog will focus on several of the different mediator styles and how they might affect the outcome. This blog assumes that the circumstances of the mediation are that parties to a legal dispute have been brought together for the purpose of arriving at a settlement, the parties' caucus separately, and the mediator performs shuttle diplomacy.
One style that is frequently encountered might best be called the Courier Style. This style mediator tends to restrict his/her involvement to listening and passing messages and offers back and forth, much like a messenger going between opposing sides in a combat zone. Instead of a combat zone, there are different rooms. The courier mediator will often hesitate to argue with the lawyers for the parties or to offer separate independent opinions on the merits of the case or key issues. If the parties are highly motivated to settle and prepared to compromise, the courier will succeed. The result will be driven by offers generated by the lawyers. If the lawyers are unable to use the process to arrive at a settlement, the mediation will fail. The mediator will be of little help in that instance because of the nature of the role that he/she has had during the mediation. Unfortunately, a large percentage of mediators fall into this category and the parties involved in mediation often feel they have wasted both time and money.
Another style is the mediator who wants you to know that they feel your pain. I call this style the Best Friend Forever (BFF). Compassion and sensitivity are the hallmarks of this style along with lots of direct conversation with the client. The client conversation is designed to weaken the client to the point of surrender. The client will hear repeatedly how important it is to the healing process and to other family members to reach a settlement, any settlement, so long as it brings an end to the pain of being in a lawsuit. If the other party to the dispute is also sensitive and caring, this particular style will succeed and peace will reign. If the other side is ruthless and cold hearted, the case may still settle but with only one party making significant concessions. The mediators in this category pride themselves on being able to resolve any kind of legal dispute, regardless of whether they know anything about the law involved as they focus on technique and compassion for their new best friend, the client. Caution! Feeling your pain is great as part of a funeral service but after the mediation ends this mediator best friend you have just made will never see you again and you are stuck with the settlement.
You may also encounter what I call the Judgmental Style. This type comes to your mediation with preconceived opinions of how your case should settle and is not shy about letting you know them. There will be little if any subtlety in telling you and your attorney what should happen and why. Confrontational statements flow easily as your case is evaluated and dismissed by this type, all in the interest of forcing a settlement. Theoretically, this happens in both rooms but you can't be sure. This mediator type will also impose his or her value system on your case and often make you feel bad about yourself with critical personal comments. If you are easy to scare or intimidate, this type will produce a settlement every time. Unfortunately, you have to live with the settlement and it will be one in which you as the client and party to the dispute played a very small role. As for your attorney protecting you, forget it: Why do you think this mediator was picked?
This particular style of mediator starts pushing for exchange of settlement offers from the first minutes of the mediation. This mediator has little interest in the story of the case or the concerns of the parties. Much like an auctioneer, the mediator seeks to start a bidding war. The client has very little involvement as the lawyers become the bidders. The negotiation is with the mediator and the parties are there mostly to nod their head yes or no in response to proposals. This approach often succeeds in producing a settlement but as a party you need to be careful not to get swept away by the process. And you need to be with a lawyer you can really trust as everything will happen quickly.
Ideally, a successful mediation will end with all involved feeling that a fair result has been achieved. The mediator style most likely to attain this result is one I call the Synergistic Mediator. This style will listen to the parties and counsel, understand the case and the law that applies, and be flexible in approach. There will be conversation but it will be focused and directed to an end result. Client involvement will be encouraged. Confrontation and judgmental statements designed to intimidate are avoided while the legal positions and risks will be evaluated, analyzed and discussed. There will be a conversation between the separate rooms and real negotiation of the case will occur. Various outcomes will be explored and the parties will be encouraged to make the settlement one that they own rather than one they are told is best for them or that ignores the pressures of the situation in the interests of expediency.
There is an old saying among trial lawyers that a good settlement is one in which the parties are each equally unhappy. In my mind, that is equivalent to saying that any settlement is better than going to trial. Many mediators subscribe to both of these beliefs. I don't. In my view, the substance of the settlement and the perception of fairness are of utmost importance. If the parties are left at the end of the day feeling sick about the process and the result, only the mediator and the attorneys will be satisfied. They get paid and go home but the parties are left feeling angry and disillusioned, wishing ever after they had gone to trial. My recommendation is to find a Synergistic Mediator who will in most instances be the one most capable of achieving a successful mediation where a fair result is achieved.

For some reason, many classic children's books that our grandparents read were considered harmful by the Soviet educators, such as Little Women, Little Lord Fauntleroy and Daddy-Long-Legs, of which I had only heard or read in other children's books. Perhaps they were considered sentimental. Mark Twain on the other hand was welcome, and we all read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Prince and the Pauper. Much of the wit of both books was lost on me, both because of my age and because of my cultural ignorance. For instance, when Tom says in Sunday school that the first two apostles' names were David and Goliath, I didn't get it.
I didn't get much of Alice in Wonderland either, especially because the translation I had was extremely poor. When I eventually read the original I realised that all the strange things the characters said were jokes and puns. But it didn't matter. I loved Alice and read it over and over again, and still today I remember some of the poor translation better than the original. I don't know why Alice was acceptable for the Soviet pedagogy when so much other nineteenth-century children's literature wasn't, and fairy tales were considered particularly dangerous.
Selma Lagerlöf's The Wonderful Adventures of Nils was popular already in my grandmother's childhood, but in the early '50s is was published as a retelling, rather a clumsy one as I discovered when I studied the subject academically, with lots of historical and geographical inaccuracies, but as a child I didn't know and didn't care. The miniature perspective was something I was familiar with from Dunno and Thumbelina: the wonderful world of animals was reminiscent of my favourite nature stories, and there was just the right touch of magic. When I moved to Sweden, names and facts from Nils echoed in my explorations.
The book was part of a larger venture, when suddenly lots of foreign classics were translated: Winnie-the-Pooh, The Little Prince, which of course were read by grownups as much as children. Today it is called crossover, then it was just a common acknowledgment that the best children's books are good for everyone. Yet I believe that the status of Western classics contributed to their popularity among adults. Karlsson-on-the-Roof came about the same time, and I have already explained why it was "the best-loved" of Astrid Lindgren's books in Russia.
Some of these translated books were very odd. Again, I have written about Muffin the Mule; but there was also The Adventures of Chunky, by Leila Berg, who actually died just a couple of years ago. If I had known that she was alive when I moved to the UK, I would have contacted her to tell her how passionately I loved her book. But to a child, all authors are by definition dead, so it didn't even occur to me that the author of my childhood favourite could be alive. Why was this book translated? Why this book, of all English books? By all standards, it was obsolete already. I remember I was puzzled that one of Chunky's friends didn't know what a refrigerator was. I was also puzzled that Chunky's parents went to meet the king. Kings didn't fit into a realistic story. Chunky's parents went to meet the king because, as I realise now, they worked on a super-secret military project, but it wasn't spelled out, and for a dislocated reader like myself it didn't say anything. Yet I loved this book for its nice everyday adventures and pranks, and without reference frames, without the background of Swallows and Amazons or Just William, I didn't see its flaws. Maybe they aren't flaws, maybe it is just one of many average books that come and go, but for me it was one of the Great Books, an indispensible book from which I still remember long passages by heart.
Not least, there were books by Gianni Rodari. Some children's literature scholars may know his book The Grammar of Fantasy, but only one of his children's books is translated into English, The Befana's Toy Shop, which in Russian was closer to its original title, The Blue Train, but more imaginative: The Travels of the Blue Arrow. For me, this book had everything I wanted from a good story. There was the miniature perspective of the animated toys and the eternal quest plot. There was the vague boundary between real and magic. There was the misery of poverty. There was the tragedy of parting and the joy of reunion. I wasn't quite happy with the ending because the Blue Arrow crew never found the boy they were looking for, as a true happy ending should be. Maybe it was exactly why I liked this book so much.
I liked Rodari's other books as well, the satirical Gelsomino in the Land of Liars and Cippolino the Onion Boy. I didn't care about their political messages: Rodari was a convinced Communist, which explains wy his books were translated in the Soviet Union and sold millions of copies. In Cippolino, some fruits and vegetables are rich and oppress other fruits and vegetables, who finally revolt and establish a better society. It was fine by me, because it was just like other stories about the underprivileged who revolt. What puzzled me was the allocation of roles. I would understand if all fruit were rich and all vegetables poor, but there was no logic in the construction of this world. Gelsomino was a very transparent satire on the Communist regime, a 1984 for kiddies, but again, I didn't care, but enjoyed the wordplay and the absurdity. If the grownups ever saw the satire, they kept it to themselves.
Was I then a tremendously naïve and uncritical reader who didn't understand books beyond the superficial plot? From my clever scholarly perspective today, what attracted me? Did I engage with the characters? Did I share their joys and sorrows? Did I ever ask myself the Important Question: what were these books really about? What did the authors want to say? Neither my parent nor school teachers ever asked such questions, and unless prompted, I don't think a child can ever think of them. Yet these books were obviously important and formative, and I kept re-reading them and remember them as if I read them yesterday. Again, from my scholarly viewpoint, I engaged with the characters emotionally, but never asking myself whether I liked them or wanted to be like them. Possibly, all these characters were far too strange.

#VGMA2014 - Unseen Photos & The Candid Review.
So by now you have heard, seen and read what happened at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards and what a bore it was. The Shatta movement fans are still celebrating over Shatta Wale's Artiste of the Year award (which I hope has been found by now) and Sonnie Badu is also in cloud nine for winning 2 awards Gospel Artiste of the Year and Best Male Vocal Performance of the Year.
This was my first Ghana Music Awards and for a holder of a VIP ticket I was mildly disappointed with the annual event. If not for the fact that I had a Red Room ticket which enabled me to rest my feet and nibble on some hors d'oeuvres, I would have left earlier than I actually did.
Organisation was bad, late and delayed. I stood outside at the main gates with other VIP guests as the place wasn't ready as told by a heavily armed police/soldier. After a 15minute wait we were finally allowed in and there was no VIP welcome. Surprise!! I kept my hopes up for the rest of the night.
Here are some photos you may have missed amongst the numerous already online and my candid view on the event.
Gowns with neck plunging necklines were pretty much out there at the awards night whilst some kept the gowns as demure or spectacular as possible.
Guests and fans to the event dressed to either the nines or just as outrageous as possible to the event and who was I to be surprised. The worst fashion moments on my previous post highlights reasons why Fashion Police must be brought to events like this. Why do some ladies go through discomfort and pain to wear platforms they have no business or skill in wearing? It was almost hilarious!
Inside the RedRoom VIP, there wasn't much action going on but I got the opportunity to meet some executives from the sponsoring telco.
OJ picked his award for Best Gospel Song of the Year and put on a good performance later on in the show.
Castro and his crew picked up Best Highlife Song of the Year for Odo Pa.
So I hear this lady (pictured above) is Shatta Wale's girlfriend. True? Well she took the award so if anyone is looking for her, hope this photo helps. :) That was Shatta's Best Reggae/Dancehall Song of the Year award.
What can I say about KOD coming out with this #selfie? Yawa! Bad and wrong move my guy. Here is a tip: Selfies are best when done outta the blue, take a look at the #OscarSelfie for example. Bam! Calling Joselyn Dumas (who looked surprised at her name being mentioned) and John Dumelo and co was so un-selfie of you and then asking the crowd to say 'TWEAA' was awful. I am so sure that wasn't the best selfie in Ghana as predicted.
I was pretty surprised to see Cindy Thompson trending on Twitter on Monday morning. O_0 How was that even possible? It turns out people were trolling on her performance and appearance on the stage at the awards night. Whilst some tweeted that they were expecting offering to be up next, another tweeted about the event not being a revival. Trolls.
The look on this guy's face. Hmmm....
So the famous proposal Elikem made to Pokello went slightly viral on social media. I couldn't help but wonder about the authenticity of the bended knee act. I mean look at her face in the photo! It looks like, 'Dude, WTF are you doing?' lol!
The best performance went to Sarkodie. Hands down! This guy has some die-hard fans. I heard one guy shout from the back 'You be devil, herh! You be devil wai!' lol!
I left after Sarkodie's performance because after that I knew nothing better was going to come up and I was tired of tweeting for Vodafone for free #VGMA2014. The Ghanaian audience as usual was luck lustre.
How VIP ticket holders were made to sit so far behind just beat my imagination. CharterHouse get your house in order.
The rest of the awards are here:
Best Group Of The Year
New Artiste Of The Year
Joey B
Album Of The Year
Sarkodie – Sarkology
Vodafone Most Popular Song Of The Year
Shatta Wale – Dancehall King
Artiste Of The Year

Slotland Is Worth It
You win more money at Slotland than at any other online casino on average due to their 98% payout promise - most of other casinos payout between 94% and 96%.
Slotland has the most generous deposit bonus as well, requiring you to wager only 13 times your deposit (whereas most casinos require somewhere between 21x and 51x).
I found it hard to believe these figures - how could one casino be so much cheaper to play at? Is this a start-up casino, testing a new business model that may or may not fail? Will they charge some ridiculous banking fees to compensate for the generous games?
15 Years of Experience
Turns out, Slotland is one of the longest-running casinos online, having started its operations in 1998. You can choose the old design or the new design for the casino website - a testament to having loyal customers who are so used to the old version that they want to play on it forever.
At Slotland, Less Is More
Slotland has only 30 games and they're only available inside the browser - this means you have a sufficient variety of slot machines at your disposal and you can play without downloading anything at all.
And unlike at other online casinos, the in-browser playing experience is awesome. In fact, I believe you're going to like it more than you like a desktop version of any other casino.
They've done a great deal of usability testing to remove anything unnecessary from the casino interface. The people at Slotland seem to understand that less is more, which is certainly a style to my liking.
Free Deposits and Withdrawals
"No way."
That's what I replied to the customer service representative at Slotland after he told me that they charge no fees at all for using any of their deposit or withdrawal methods.
In this day and age - when most internet casinos run tight games and charge for everything you do - Slotland not only offers the most generous games and bonuses but have the cheapest money transactions as well.
Since other reputable casinos have payouts around 96%, you'll have lost 50% of the money at Slotland that you would otherwise have lost at a casino with a 96% payback if you were to wager a $1,000. In the long run, as you keep on playing more and more spins, it's going to be a lot of money you'll lose if you decide to play at a low payback casino instead of Slotland.
Common Deposit Methods
One of the only areas that Slotland is like other casinos is its deposit and withdrawal options; they're the same as just about any of the top online casinos.
USA players can deposit via VISA credit or debits cards, and non-US players have options such as Neteller, Skrill and InstaDebit. For withdrawals, USA players have cheques, non-US players can withdraw via mentioned e-wallets, cheques or wire transfer.
Easiest Bonuses
You'll get the easiest-to-clear welcome bonus at Slotland. While industry norm is that players have to wager about 30-40 times their deposit amount to clear their bonuses, at Slotland you only have to wager 13 times the deposit. The welcome bonus is 100% up to a $100.
On top of the welcome deposit bonus, you'll get 50% up to a $100 bonuses for nine additional deposits - therefore, as a new player, you have bonuses waiting for the first ten of your deposits.
Additional bonuses include Monthly Mystery and Weekly Draw.
They Care About Customers
I consider Slotland one of the best best real-money slot casinos and one of the reasons is its customer-friendliness. Their live and e-mail supports are friendly and so far dealing with them has been a pleasure.
When I needed to know something that the customer support was unable to tell me, they asked me if I wanted one of the managers to send me an e-mail about it at a later time. Sure enough, after about 24 hours, I get an e-mail, in which the issue is thoroughly explained.
Slotland accepts players from countries like USA, UK and Australia and others.

450 Extra Seats During Peak for Cleveland Line
22 October 2013
More than 200 additional train services a day will be added to the south-east Queensland network from January 20 next year.
Cleveland, Ormiston, Wellington Point and Birkdale have benefited as part of the major timetable overhaul across south-east Queensland.
This is a great result for local commuters with an increase of two services during peak periods in the morning and afternoon.
The two additional services on the Cleveland line provide an extra 450 seats in both the morning and afternoon peak periods.
Public transport users can expect improved connections, better reliability and more frequent services.
The Newman Government has work had to find the saving across Queensland Rail to deliver more frequent services and from January next year we will be delivering.

text: Call it a comet comeback. A day after scientists declared ISON dead, they're rethinking that assessment. Scientists speculated that the comet, which was barreling toward the sun earlier in the week --- had probably flown too close and been destroyed. Not so -- it seems. A smaller, paler version of ISON appears to have survived being completely incinerated. It's also being called the 'zombie comet'. The latest findings are consistent with the one thing scientists have repeatedly said about the comet. SOUNDBITE: ASTROPHYSICIST KARL BATTAMS SAYING: "ISON is just weird. It has behaved unpredictably at times with, when it's done something strange, we've spent some time scratching our heads, figuring out ok, what's it doing? And then when we think we know what it's doing, and we think we can predict what it's then going to do, it goes and does something different." Preliminary analysis suggests that the zombie comet may had held onto a part of its nucleus

When I think about an engagement shoot, it's rare that I think of them as "sexy" or "funny". Usually, I think about them as "boring" or "cheesy". Sorry, but it's true. I mean how many ways can a couple smile at the camera or look longingly at each other? Right? But, when I received Chelsea and Darian's shoot from the super talented Creatrix Photography, I was excited to show you, brideys, that an engagement shoot can be fun and sexy all at the same time.
It doesn't hurt that Chelsea and Darian are a great looking couple, but more than that, it's clear that they are completely captivated by one another. Sparks are flying all over the place with these two! And yet, they are laughing their way through the shoot. They are having a ball and it shows!
Brideys, this is the way to do it! Have fun with it! Get into the moment! Lose yourselves! Trust me, based on these photographs, Chelsea and Darian will look back at their engagement session as more than just a photo shoot, but more like a fantastic memory.
Sexy. Funny. Sexy.Clearly funny! I wonder what she was laughing at!!Anybody else thinking Top Gun right now?Nothing like using Hawaii as your backdrop...Congratulations Chelsea and Darian!! I can't wait to see your wedding pics!!!

I was wondering if wearing skinny ties would make me look skinny. In the recent personal events of mine, I later discovered that too much sleep makes me bloated, second, I am stucked at 170 pounds which is a no-no.
I later discovered that half of my tailored shirts and formal wear doesn't fit fabulously anymore. Now I have a 10-day break, and I must act within this period to at least lose 5 pounds, and look sexy for July. Because I will be travelling to North America! Fingers crossed!
Must hit the cardio starting tomorrow!!!

French troops in Mali take Kidal, last Islamist holdout
French forces have secured the northern Malian town of Kidal, the last main stronghold of Islamist rebels in the region, military officials say.
Militant Islamist fighters had already left the town, near the Algerian border, and are believed to be hiding in the surrounding mountains.
The capture of Kidal came days after French and Malian forces retook the provincial capitals Gao and Timbuktu.
Kidal official Haminy Maiga said the French troops had met no resistance.
"The French arrived aboard four planes," said, Mr Maiga, who heads the regional assembly.
"They took the airport and then entered the town, and there was no combat. The French are patrolling the town and two helicopters are patrolling overhead."
Earlier, French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said a sandstorm had delayed the troops from leaving the airport and entering the town.
Islamist militants extended their control of the vast north of Mali in April 2012, taking advantage of a military coup.
France - the former colonial power in Mali - launched a military operation this month after the militants appeared to be threatening the south.
The BBC's Thomas Fessy in Timbuktu says the capture of Kidal marks the end of the first phase of the military operation to oust militants from northern Mali.
France is now expecting the deployment of thousands of African forces to support the second phase - driving the al-Qaeda-linked fighters from their desert hideouts.
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Wednesday that France intended to leave Mali "quickly", and it was up to African countries to take over.
Several hundred soldiers from West African countries - including Niger and Chad - are already in Mali.
Our correspondent says French forces who entered Kidal found members of the secular National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) there.
The Tuareg rebels launched the insurgency last year before breaking away from the militants.
Their presence in Kidal explains why government troops have not yet been sent to the town, our correspondent adds.
The MNLA says it will support the French but will not allow the return of the Malian army, which it accused of "crimes against the civilian population".
Human rights groups have accused the Malian army of targeting ethnic Tuareg and Arab civilians.
An MNLA spokesman told the BBC its fighters had entered Kidal on Saturday and found no Islamist militants there.
Kidal was until recently under the control of the Ansar Dine Islamist group, which has strong ties to al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
The Islamic Movement of Azawad (IMA), which recently split from Ansar Dine, recently said that it was in control of Kidal.
The IMA has also said it rejects "extremism and terrorism" and wants a peaceful solution.
Some reports say Ansar Dine leader Iyad Ag Ghaly and Abou Zeid of AQIM have now moved to the mountainous region north of Kidal.
Meanwhile, EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels on Thursday are expected to reaffirm support for the French intervention in Mali and discuss practical details of an EU military training mission which is due to begin there next month.
On Tuesday, international donors meeting in Ethiopia pledged $455.53m (£289m) for the African Union-backed force (Afisma) and for other projects.
African leaders say the overall budget could be around $950m.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has also said credible elections in Mali would be vital to achieving peace in the country.
Mali's interim President Dioncounda Traore said on Tuesday he wanted to hold "transparent and credible" elections by 31 July.

Examples of good places to host a kid's birthday party include pizza places, bowling alleys, video game arcades and zoos. Teenagers may prefer sleepovers, favorite restaurants or places such as local parks that can be rented for a day.
Finding a good place to hold a birthday party depends on the age group attending the party. Other ideas for children's birthday parties include miniature golf courses, roller skating rinks, amusement parks or laser tag parks.
Choosing a good place for a teenage birthday party depends on the teenager's interests and personality. If the teenager likes sports, places such as rock climbing facilities or indoor batting cages are good ideas. A teen who enjoys fashion may prefer taking a group of friends to a thrift store with a predetermined amount of money and then hosting a fashion show once they return home. Artistic teens may enjoy a birthday gathering at a museum or a "paint your own pottery" studio.
For teenagers who enjoy the outdoors, birthday kayaking trips, archery lessons and horseback riding tours are good ideas. Some teenagers prefer to have birthday parties at home. Hosting a slumber party or pool party are easy and fun birthday ideas for teenagers.

"World is a cruel mistress who plucketh shine of joy from my no longer youthful brow with harpy-like claws of cruel indifference and bad food. Woe onto me for trusting an order from a sales nUb! Grief and misery to which I have succumbed drags me into abysmal dismay, where I surely be crushed and my no longer bleeding emaciated heart will break its way out of my breathless chest, drawing starved entrails in its wake, like some nightmarish cheerleader escaping filth-filled commode with a macabre garland of used tissue stuck to its dirty bare foot… … bitches."
(from an earlier conversation with a co-worker, whose department's order had me on something of a wild goose-chase for over an hour)

Murder confessions allowed as evidence
The judges who will be presiding over the murder trials of David Spears and Christopher Collings issued orders last week denying the defenses' motions to suppress the two men's confessions. Spears and Collings are accused of raping and murdering 9-year-old, Rowan Ford, in November 2007 at Collings' trailer in Wheaton.
A series of pre-trial hearings have been held in recent months to determine whether or not Spear's audiotaped statement and Collings' videotaped statements were admissable in court. Defense attorneys want the confessions thrown out, claiming the men were tricked or intimidated into confessing. The prosecution argued that the statements was given voluntarily and with a clear understanding of the defendants' Miranda rights.
According to Barry County Prosecutor Johnnie Cox, Pulaski County Judge Tracy L. Story denied the defense's motion to suppress Spears' statement, and Phelps County Judge Mary W. Sheffield denied motions to suppress Collings' statement as well as to suppress searches of Collings' property.
"The court has ruled their statements to police are admissable and the search of Collings' property and the evidence found there during the search is also admissable," explained Cox. "This means we can introduce this evidence at trial."
In Judge Sheffield's order, she concluded that Collings was advised of his Miranda warnings prior to his videotapped interviews on Nov. 9, 2007, at the Barry County Sheriff's Department and that the interviews were "not coercive in nature." Judge Story came to a similar conclusion after reviewing Spears' audiotaped interview. In these interviews, both men confessed to raping and murdering Ford.
Judge Sheffield's order also upheld the process by which law enforcement officers searched Collings' property and obtained DNA swabs from the defendant. "The Court finds that the defendant freely, voluntarily and knowlingly granted consent to Deputy Evenson and the Barry County Sheriff's Department to conduct a search of the property that he (Collings) resided on Nov. 9," the order reads.0.
As a result of the prolonged court proceedings, Spears trial has been postponed until August.
Collings and Spears have both been charged with first degree murder, forcible rape and statutory rape in connection with Ford's death.
|The men were arrested on Nov. 9, 2007, one week after Ford was first reported missing and the day Ford's body was discovered in a sinkhole near Powell in McDonald County.
|The actual rape and murder allegedly took place on the night of Nov. 2, 2007, in a trailer in Wheaton owned by Collings. Both Collings and Spears confessed to the crime on the day they were arrested, but there are conflicting statements in their confessions.
Collings said he took Ford from her home in Stella and brought her to his trailer in Wheaton where he raped her and then strangled her. He also admitted to disposing of Ford's body in a sinkhole.
Spears said he arrived at Collings' home to find Collings' raping his stepdaughter. Spears said he participated in the sexual assault and then strangled Ford. According to Spears' confession, he and Collings transported Ford's body to a cave.
Collings and Spears are being represented by the Missouri State Public Defenders Office. Barry County Prosecutor Johnnie Cox will be assisted in the prosecution of the case by Elizabeth Bock, assistant attorney general for the state of Missouri.
Cox is seeking the death penalty against both Collings and Spears.

Since 2003, Danielle has been making site-specific installations out of recuperated materials. Her international exhibition record includes galleries and museums in Mexico City, Athens, Cologne, New York, and many other cities. Danielle Felice Riede is the recipient of numerous awards including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship and the Virginia Commission for the Arts Fellowship in Sculpture. She is currently an Associate Professor of Art at the Herron School of Art and Design - Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis.
Tell us a little about the work that's on display at UICA.
In the winter of 2013-2014 I created an installation called "Tears and Rain" out of screens from discarded televisions, computers and tablets. "Quench" is a new version of that installation, but this time I am playing with video projections of water on those screens. Water soothes and relaxes. The work has the elemental properties of our computers, televisions and tablets, but I am using them in a different way. I am hoping that the work connects the viewer to their senses.
Most of the videos were taken in beautiful national parks in the United States and Canada.
I'm grateful for the help of RecycleForce with this project. They pointed me to the material and helped me gather it. They are an Indianapolis-based non profit offering recycling services and providing job placement for formerly incarcerated individuals.
What drew you to participate in ArtPrize this year?
I've actually never participated in ArtPrize, but I'm very excited to participate this year. I love the openness of ArtPrize and the fact that it brings such a diverse group of artists and spectators from around the world. I'm excited to be participating and honored to be part of the "Cultivate" exhibition at UICA as the theme of the show aligns so closely with my values.
UICA's exhibition is centered around food. Does your work use food as a theme or lens traditionally or is this new territory for you?
In some ways this is new territory for me in my art. I have been thinking about water, technology and biological systems, but hadn't thought so specifically about the relationship of water to human life until talking to the curator of the show. However, I did do a project at an abandoned home called "Sustainable Growths" for which I used food and art to bring the neighbors together. The primary focus of the project was an installation composed of recycled domestic items on the house, but when I realized that the neighborhood residents had difficulty accessing healthy food and after school activities, I began giving workshops for the neighborhood kids and incorporating healthy snacks like fresh produce into them. The project culminated in a neighborhood cookout at the site and it was so much fun.
Who or what has been the biggest single influence on your way of thinking?
I love being an observer of the world and just being part of this amazing planet. I usually get inspiration and ideas for work when I'm not looking for them. For example, finding the material I'm using here is the result of working with RecycleForce on another project and many of the vidoes that are projected on the screens were taken with my cell phone because something beautiful surprised me when I wasn't expecting it.
Where else have you exhibited your work? Is there a project or exhibition that stands out in your mind as your greatest accomplishment?
I have exhibited my work at galleries and museums in New York, Berlin, Cologne, Athens, Mexico City, and smaller cities in Scottland, France and Italy. I feel like the project on the abandoned home in Indianapolis may have been my biggest accomplishment though. It's hard to say. I feel fortunate to be a working artist.
What new projects do you have on the horizon?
My "Wingspan" paintings are so much fun to make and I am working with Garvey Simon Art Access in New York and a curator in France to connect those works to the public.
I also want to continue working with non-profits in Indianapolis to help develop after school art programs in neighborhoods that need them. I am also working on developing my installation, "Unwound", which is made of repurposed domestic items like wreaths.

It appears the latest Windows 10 Insider build may have a bug which could cause Explorer to crash in a loop if a WB skin is applied.
We are investigating but for now we must recommend you disable WindowBlinds before updating your Insider builds and do not enable WB until we have addressed this.
EDIT: This was addressed some time ago and as long as you are on WB 10.57 or above you should be fine.
Neil, it's not the skin. It's a Windows 10 thing. The icons do not change size just the taskbar on my Dell XPS 8910. Thank you, Neil, for all you do.
Actually it was a WB thing. For small icon mode we didn't have enough taskbar padding so the taskbar buttons end up smaller than planned. This is addressed in WB 10.59 and up.
Same inssue, Win 10 Pro, latest windowblinds release I downloaded today. Immediately after running it fors 1st time post install I get a black screen. Nothing could be done.
So, hard reset: login screen appears normal, but immed. after login in, the same black window, but this time Win returns to the login screen, tried this 3 times.
Finally had to find out how to boot in safe mode, succeeded, and succeeded to de-install.
Fatal practice on Stardock's side if yo ask me!
Your issue is unlikely to be the same issue assuming you do indeed have the very latest version of WindowBlinds.
WB 10.6 and higher will work just fine with the latest Windows 10 releases.

wb 10.62 (latest as of today) and W10 insider build 16199 ( I had to upgrade because of W10 problem with earlier build).
WB works more or less as it should but for example task bar is (partly, mostly) transparent. This happens on all skins. It looks like the right part of the bar is skinned (or maybe it's some new W10 internal styling?) Anyway the problem does not prevent WB usage, just makes it not as visually pleasing as it could.
It is the same issue here as well and I also have a Dell 8910. On my desktop, medium icons are the size of the old large icons and small icons are the size of the old medium icons. Others have reported this issue as well so I do not think it is a Dell issue.
That doesn't sound like an issue caused by WindowBlinds?

If you are planning to move in a few months or weeks, you will probably first get quotes from moving companies and think that the rates are too high. You imagine that the moving process can't be that stressful if you decide to do it on your own. As the day draws closer, you will realize that you do not have enough time to get everything done in good time. It is important to understand the hidden costs associated with moving if you decided to do it yourself. Here are some of the common moving expenses that are not so obvious.
1. Time
If you decide to pack your house and move to your new home without involving professionals, you will need to have a lot of time on your hands to facilitate the move. There is so much that needs to be done before the moving day and all these things require time. You will need to sort your stuff, pack up what you will take, plan a yard sale for what you do not need, and also find a truck to hire for the move. All these take up a lot of time.
2. Rental Costs for Trucks
While you may have already budgeted for the cost of hiring a moving truck, there are other hidden costs that come with this billing. Mileage and fuel are the common extra costs for moving. The rental company will charge you based on the distance you will cover and you are responsible for fuelling for the journey. Also, it is possible that you will underestimate the size of truck you need for the move because at the back of your mind you are trying to save on cost. This means that you might have to make multiple trips back and forth to move everything. In the end, this becomes very expensive.
3. Time Off Work
It is possible to lose income when you decide to plan and execute the move without enlisting the help of a professional Toronto moving company. Hours used at home packing for the move are hours spent away from work, which will hurt your bottom line at the end of the month. If it doesn't affect the hours you clock in at work, it will affect your vacation days since you will use them to move. Lost income is one of the common moving expenses that is not so obvious.
4. Potential Personal Injuries
One of the reasons it is advisable to hire professionals for the job is to avoid hurting yourself during the packing, lifting, and loading. Personal injuries are very common in DIY moves which can be dangerous and even life-threatening. Professional movers know what their job entails and work to ensure that they avoid injuries. While you're trying to save on the cost of hiring professionals, you may end up paying a lot to treat your personal injuries sustained during the moving process.
5. Damage To Your Items
When you work with professional movers, common moving expenses you avoid include the cost of replacing any damaged or lost items during transit. This is because these companies are liable for any loss or damage of items while ion their care. If you decide to do it on your own, even with the help of friends, the cost of repairing damaged items or replacing them is entirely on you. This can end up being very expensive in the end.

Choosing a Career - The Romance Comic Book Way!
Romance comics are filled with stories of career girls -- actresses, flight attendants, nurses, secretaries. All glamorized occupations which promised readers not only a salary but perhaps a man as well. Charlton's Career Girl Romances took it a step further with a semi-regular text article entitled, "Choosing a Career." Written by advice columnist, Jeannette Copeland, these articles are straight-to-the-point and detail the various opportunities within the mentioned fields, as well as the education and training necessary for each.
Modeling is a rather "traditionally" female occupation and was often featured in romance stories as a ticket to freedom and style. Though a rather predictable career option to feature in a romance comic, this article has some good information concerning salary ($85 to $90 a week, approximately $470 in 2010) and fall back options for models -- typing and shorthand.
An article on modeling is to be expected, but how about an article on becoming a Female Sky Marshal? Bet you weren't expecting that! Do yourself a favor and read this -- it is terribly interesting from a historical perspective and a little eerie too, in light of the recent events of the past decade.
The final "Choosing a Career" article this evening (courtesy of Mykal Banta) presents two career choices that couldn't be more different -- Federal Architect and Entomologist. Though they may seem like random choices for one article, they both demonstrate ways in which educated women could enter into the ranks of Federal employment.
I was really excited to read these articles in Career Girl Romances as they are rather divergent from the usual sequential romance stories of working girls. Though a tad dry, Ms. Copeland and the gang from Charlton gave young women career ideas and options that provided alternatives to nursing, secretarial work, and other female-centric vocations.
If I find any more of these gems, I will be sure to share! They are such great snippets documenting attitudes of women in the workforce in the '70s, and I don't want any of you to miss out! Ya know -- just in case you were thinking of a career change!

OMA & BO: Beyond The Grave
[This project is part of our midterm for Future Gadgets]
We wanted to create a way for people to be able to interact from beyond the grave. We have made a physical object that embodies an individual's personality (through their cyberself) and is able to interact with the living after their death.
Website Mock-up: http://b.parsons.edu/~asokn558/futuregadgets/Oma/index.html
The concept includes a mock up of an umbrella product website where users sign up and choose who their cyberselves will be given to after their death. The website has already been collecting and tracking everyone in the cyber and real world through their use of Facebook, Twitter, Geolocations, their favorite website, and so one. Once your human body inevitably dies, your friends and loved ones will either be automatically sent the your newly reborn cyberself (in the form of this smaller digitally created, 3D printed physical creature) or they will be able to simply download and 3D print (from the comfort of their homes) their own copy.
This will allow friends and loved ones to still be able to interact with you after death. This physical avatar will allow your cyberself to continue living in the physical world after your death, creating a type of immortality. While you are still alive, you can either choose who is allowed to download your cyberself after death or make it open and allow anyone in the world to. This will essentially mean that there could be an infinite amount of your cyberselves out in the world after you die.
This concept is sort of a play on our obsession with social media and creating online personas that are sometimes more involved than our personas in our real lives. We feel that in the near future the idea of a cyberself and being able to download this into a physical, most likely cyborg enhanced body will actually be possible. However, in our concept, we have chosen to create a world where instead of living on in completely bionically enhance physical bodies after the human body inevitably fails us, we are interested in the need for population control. So, we have come up with a much smaller, compact version of immortality in the introduction of our creepy little creature named "Bo".
Technically, this physical object called "Bo" has 3 inputs and 3 outputs connected to an Arduino Uno:
- PIR (Passive InfraRed) Motion sensor built into Bo's belly button (that crystal round thingy), when a motion is detected in front of Bo it will trigger a beeping sound.
- Pressure sensor/soft potentiometer, triggers light on Bo's head that represents mood/aura reading.
- Microphone sensor, within certain range of frequency Bo will vibrate (in the video it does vibrate subtly but it's impossible to see).
Team Oma – Nithya Asokan, Christina Lafontaine, Umi Syam.
