Colorado is a state of the Western United States encompassing most of the southern Rocky Mountains as well as the northeastern portion of the Colorado Plateau and the western edge of the Great Plains. It is the 8th largest geographically and 21st most populous U.S. state. The estimated population of Colorado was 5,607,154 on July 1, 2017, an increase of 11.49% since the 2010 United States Census.
One of the advantages of Colorado vector maps of our production is the relevance of cartographic data, we constantly update all our products.
This vector map of Colorado is used by:
designers, layout designers, printers, advertisers and architects. Our product – vector maps – is designed for further editing and printing in large formats – from @Wall format (a few meters) to A-0 and A-1, A-2, A-3.
The Colorado map in vector format is used for design, urban planning, presentations and media visualizations.
The advertising and presentation map of Colorado (usually the final designer marks the routes, and puts the client's objects (shops, saloons, gas stations etc.)
The undoubted advantage is that people will NEVER throw out this advertising product – the map. In fact, as an advertising medium, a map is the most "long-playing" of the well-known polygraphic advertising media, with the longest lifespan, and the maximum number of interactions with the customer.
The state was named for the Colorado River, which early Spanish explorers named the Río Colorado for the ruddy silt the river carried from the mountains. The Territory of Colorado was organized on February 28, 1861, and on August 1, 1876, U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant signed Proclamation 230 admitting Colorado to the Union as the 38th state. Colorado is nicknamed the "Centennial State" because it became a state one century after the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence.
For travelers, maps are sold at the airports and gas stations around the world. Often the source is our vector maps.
Take a look, who purchases our vector maps of Colorado in "Our Clients and Friends" page – these are large and small companies, from super-brands like Volvo and Starbucks, to small design studios and printing houses.
It's very easy to work with vector maps of Colorado city, even for a not very experienced designer who can turn on and off the map layers, add new objects, change the colors of fill and lines according to customer requirements.
The undoubted advantage of Colorado vector maps in printing is an excellent and detailed visualization, when customer can expand a large paper map and instantly define his location, find a landmark, an object or address on map, unlike using the popular electronic formats of Google and Yandex maps for example.
Printable vector maps of Colorado are much more convenient and efficient than any electronic maps on your smartphone, because ALL DETAILS are displayed in the entire space of Colorado map.
Colorado is bordered by Wyoming to the north, Nebraska to the northeast, Kansas to the east, Oklahoma to the southeast, New Mexico to the south, Utah to the west, and touches Arizona to the southwest at the Four Corners. Colorado is noted for its vivid landscape of mountains, forests, high plains, mesas, canyons, plateaus, rivers, and desert lands. Colorado is part of the western and southwestern United States, and is one of the Mountain States.
Denver is the capital and most populous city of Colorado. Residents of the state are known as Coloradans, although the antiquated term "Coloradoan" is occasionally used.
Useful tips on working with vector maps of cities and countries in Adobe Illustrator.
«V» – launches the Selection tool (cursor, black arrow), which makes active any vector line.
«А» – launches the Direct Selection tool (white cursor), allows you to select curve elements and drag them to the desired place.
«R» – activates the Rotate tool, which helps you rotating selected objects around the center point by 360 degrees.
«E» – gives you the opportunity to use the Eraser tool and erase unnecessary parts.
«X» – switches between Fill and Stroke in the Tools section. Try to get used to this hot key and
you will quickly understand that you can't live and work without it.
Guides are not limited to vertical and horizontal in Adobe Illustrator. You can also create a diagonal guide for example. Moreover, you can turn any contours into guides. Select the outline and go to View > Guides > Make Guides (Create Guides), or simply press Cmd/Ctrl + 5. You can also turn the guides back into an editable object. Go to menu, View > Guides > Unlock Guides (Release Guides), select the guide you want to edit and select View > Guides > Release Guides (Reset Guides), or just press Cmd/Ctrl + Option / Alt + 5).
You will probably want to change the color scheme used on our Colorado vector map.
To quickly and effectively play with colors.
Of course, you can do it manually, all objects in our Colorado vector map are divided according to types and layers, and you can easily change the color gamma of vector objects in groups and layers.
But there is more effective way of working with the whole VECTOR MAP of Colorado and all layers:
The overview dialog «Edit colors»/«Repaint Graphic Object» (this dialog box name can change depending on the context):
If you have selected a part or a layer of Colorado vector map and open the dialog box by clicking the icon in the Control panel, on the Samples palette or the Color Catalog, or if you choose Edit > Edit Colors> Repaint Graphic Object, then the «Repaint Graphic Object» dialog box appears, and you get access to «Assign» and «Edit» tabs.
If a picture or a map fragment is not selected, and you open the dialog box by clicking the icon in the Control panel, on the Samples palette or in the Color Catalog, the «Edit Colors» dialog box appears and you can only access the «Edit» tab.
Regardless of the name at the top of the dialog box, the right-hand side always displays the color group of the current document, as well as two default color groups: Print Color and Grayscale. These color groups can be selected and used any time.
Create and edit color groups of Colorado vector map, and also assign colors using the «Edit Colors»/ а «Repaint Graphic Object» dialog box.
A. Creating and editing of a color group on the «Edit» tab
B. Assigning colors on the «Assign» tab
C. Select a group of colors from the «Color groups» list
The option «Repaint a graphic object» in the lower part of the dialog box allows you to preview the colors on a selected layer of Vector map, or a group of elements, and specify whether its colors will be redefined when the dialog box is closed.
The main areas of the dialog box are:
The «Edit» tab is designed to create a new or edit the existing color groups.
The harmony rules Menu and the Color Wheel are used to conduct experiments with color harmonies. The color wheel shows how colors are related in color harmony, and the color bars allow you to view and manipulate an individual color values. In addition, you can adjust the brightness, add and remove colors, save color groups and view colors on the selected Vector Map of Colorado or a separated layers.
The «Assign» tab is used to view and control on how the original colors are replaced with colors from the color group like your corporate colors in the Vector Map of Colorado city.
The assign color ability is provided only if the entire map, layer or fragment is selected in the document. You can specify which of new colors replace the current colors, whether the spot colors should be preserved and how colors are replaced (for example, you can replace colors completely or changing the color tone while maintaining the brightness). The «Assign» tab allows you to redefine colors in the Vector Map of Colorado city, or in separate layers and fragments using the current color group or reducing the number of colors in the current Vector Map.
Color groups
Is a list of all saved color groups for current document (the same groups appear in the «Samples» palette). You can edit and delete the existing color groups, as well as creating a new ones using the list of "Color Groups" in the dialog box. All changes appear in the «Samples» palette.
The highlighted color group shows, which color group is currently edited.
Any color group can be selected and edited, or used to redefine the colors in the selected vector map of Colorado city, its fragments or elements.
Saving a color group adds this group to the specified list.
Opening the «Edit Colors»/«Repaint Graphic Object» dialog box.
Open the «Edit Colors»/«Repaint Graphic Object» dialog box using one of the following methods:
«Edit»> «Edit Colors»> «Repaint Graphic object» or «Repaint With Style».
Use these commands if you need to edit the colors in the selected vector map of Colorado city.
«Repaint Graphic object» button on the «Control» panel.
Use this button if you need to adjust colors of Colorado vector map using the а «Repaint graphic object» dialog box.
The specified button is available if the selected vector map or its fragment contains two or more colors.
Note. This color editing method is convenient for global color adjustment in a vector map, if global colors were not used when creating a Map of Colorado.
The «Edit colors» button or «Edit or apply colors» on the «Color Catalog» palette
Click this button if you need to edit colors on the «Color Catalog» palette or edit and then apply them to the selected Vector Map of Colorado or its fragment.
The «Edit color group» button or «Edit or apply color group» on the «Samples» palette.
Click this button if you need to edit the colors in the specific color group or edit and apply them to the selected Vector Map of Colorado or a group of its elements, for example, the whole layer "Streets and lines". You can also double-click the color group in the Samples panel to open the dialog box.
If the map file is too large and your computer freezes or even can't open it quickly:
1. Try to reduce the color resolution of the video card (display) to 256 colors while working with a large map.
2. Using Windows Task Manager, select all the application you don't need, while working with map, just turn them off.
3. Launch Adobe Illustrator. (DO NOT OPEN the vector map file)
4. Start the Windows Task Manager using administrator rights > Find the "Illustrator" process > set the «real time» priority,
5. Open the file. When you see the LEGACY FONT popup window – click "OK" (do not update). You can restore the TEXT later.
6. Can also be useful: When file is opened – Edit > Settings > Basic Settings > disable smoothing. /// It looks scary, but works quickly)))
We recommend saving the file in Adobe Illustrator 10 version. It's much more stable when working with VERY BIG size files.
Unlike its neighbors to the north, west and east, Colorado has been recognized as a strongly socially liberal state. Same-sex marriage in Colorado has been legal since 2014, and it was the second state in the U.S. (after Washington) to legalize recreational cannabis. The state is known for its progressive views on abortion and assisted suicide; Coloradans rejected a 2008 referendum that would have criminalized abortion, and approved a measure in 2016 that legalized assisted suicide in the state, and remains one of six states (along with the District of Columbia) to have legalized assisted suicide. In 2018, Colorado became the first state in the United States to elect an openly gay governor, Jared Polis, in the 2018 gubernatorial election.
Colorado is notable for its diverse geography, which includes alpine mountains, high plains, deserts with huge sand dunes, and deep canyons. In 1861, the United States Congress defined the boundaries of the new Territory of Colorado exclusively by lines of latitude and longitude, stretching from 37°N to 41°N latitude, and from 102°02'48″W to 109°02'48″W longitude (25°W to 32°W from the Washington Meridian). After 157 years of government surveys, the borders of Colorado are now officially defined by 697 boundary markers and 697 straight boundary lines. Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah are the only states that have their borders defined solely by straight boundary lines with no natural features. The southwest corner of Colorado is the Four Corners Monument at 36°59'56″N, 109°2'43″W. This is the only place in the United States where four states meet: Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah.
The geography of the U.S. State of Colorado is diverse, encompassing both rugged mountainous terrain, vast plains, desert lands, desert canyons, and mesas. In 1861, the United States Congress defined the boundaries of the new Territory of Colorado exclusively by lines of latitude and longitude, stretching from 37°N to 41°N latitude, and from 102°02'48″W to 109°02'48″W longitude (25°W to 32°W from the Washington Meridian). Starting in 1868, official surveys demarcated the boundaries, deviating from the parallels and meridians in several places. Later surveys attempted to correct some of these mistakes but in 1925 the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed that the earlier demarcation was the official boundary. The borders of Colorado are now officially defined by 697 boundary markers connected by straight boundary lines. Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah are the only states that have their borders defined solely by straight boundary lines with no natural features. The southwest corner of Colorado is the Four Corners Monument at 36°59'56″N, 109°2'43″W. This is the only place in the United States where four states meet: Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah.
The summit of Mount Elbert at 14,440 feet (4,401.2 m) elevation in Lake County is the state's highest point and the highest point in the Rocky Mountains of North America. Colorado has approximately 550 mountain peaks that exceed 4000 meters elevation. Colorado is the only U.S. state that lies entirely above 1000 meters elevation. The state's lowest elevation is 3,317 feet (1,011 m) at the point on the eastern boundary of Yuma County where the Arikaree River flows into the state of Kansas.
To the east of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado are the Colorado Eastern Plains/High Plains, the section of the Great Plains within Colorado at elevations ranging from 3,500 to 7,000 feet (1,100 to 2,100 metres). The Midwest states of Kansas and Nebraska border Colorado to the east and northeast.
The plains are sparsely settled with most population along the South Platte and the Arkansas rivers. Rainfall is meager, averaging about 15 inches (380 mm) annually. There is some irrigated farming, but much of the land is used for dryland farming or ranching. Winter wheat is a typical crop and most small towns in the region boast both a water tower and a grain elevator.
The bulk of Colorado's population lives along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains in the Front Range Urban Corridor. This region is partially protected from prevailing storms by the high mountains to the west.
Snowpack accumulation at 14,255 feet (4345 m) on Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park.
To the west lies the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains with notable peaks such as Longs Peak, Mount Evans, Pikes Peak, and the Spanish Peaks near Walsenburg in the south. This area drains to the east, is forested, and partially urbanized. With urbanization, utilization of the forest for timbering and grazing resulted in accumulation of fuel. During the drought of 2002 devastating forest fires swept this area.
The Continental Divide stretches along the crest of the Rocky Mountains. To the west of the Continental Divide is the Western Slope. Water west of the Continental Divide drains west into the Pacific Ocean via the Colorado River. Western Colorado is made up of mountains, mesas, desert canyons, and desert lands.
Within the interior of the Rocky Mountains are several large parks or high broad basins. In the north, on the east side of the Continental Divide is North Park. North Park is drained by the North Platte River, which flows north into the northwest state of Wyoming. Just south but on the west side of the Continental Divide is Middle Park, drained by the Colorado River. South Park is the headwaters of the South Platte River. To the south lies the San Luis Valley, the headwaters of the Rio Grande, which drains into New Mexico. Across the Sangre de Cristo Range to the east of the San Luis Valley lies the Wet Mountain Valley. These basins, particularly the San Luis Valley, lie along the Rio Grande Rift, a major tectonic feature. See Rift.
The Rocky Mountains within Colorado contain 54 peaks that are 14,000 feet (4270 m) or higher, known as fourteeners. The mountains are timbered with conifers and aspen to the tree line, at an elevation of about 12,000 feet (3,650 m) in southern Colorado to about 10,500 feet (3,200 m) in northern Colorado; above this only alpine vegetation grows. The Rockies are snow-covered only in the winter; most snow melts by mid-August with the exception of a few small glaciers. The Colorado Mineral Belt, stretching from the San Juan Mountains in the southwest to Boulder and Central City on the front range, contains most of the historic gold and silver mining districts of Colorado.
The Western Slope is generally drained by the Colorado River and its tributaries. Notable to the south are the San Juan Mountains, an extremely rugged mountain range, and to the west of the San Juans, the Colorado Plateau, a high desert bordering Southern Utah. Grand Junction is the largest city on the Western Slope. Grand Junction is served by Interstate Highway I-70. To the southeast of Grand Junction is Grand Mesa, a large flat-topped desert mountain. Further east are the ski resorts of Aspen, Vail, Crested Butte, and Steamboat Springs.
From west to east, the state consists of desert basins, desert canyons and mesas, turning into desert plateaus, then alpine mountains, and then the grasslands of the High Plains. Mount Elbert is the highest peak in the Rocky Mountains of North America. The famous Pikes Peak is just west of Colorado Springs. Its lone peak is visible from near the Kansas border on clear days.
US State
Colorado, a western U.S. state, has a diverse landscape of arid desert, river canyons and snow-covered Rocky Mountains, which are partly protected by Rocky Mountain National Park. Elsewhere, Mesa Verde National Park features Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings. Perched a mile above sea level, Denver, Colorado's capital and largest city, features a vibrant downtown area.

As the three most important emotions in the recognition of love, friendship, and affection are like the three notes of the most beautiful movement in heaven and earth. They reflect each other and shine with each other, writing out happiness and perfection in life. Afterwards, he thought that he had mastered the design of the master, He also observed this happy love, friendship and affection, and gradually sublimated them, using a realistic material to perfectly represent it, which is the rose K gold, white gold and yellow K gold.
Thus, in 1924, a tricolor gold series fake Trinity De Cartier ring was born.

When I think of the Doherty family, I picture a clear blue sky, shining between the rusty weave of a playground backstop, and jammed in between the twisted links, a tennis ball.
This image is drawn from an early Doherty encounter when, as my own tiny son scratched with a stick in the always-mesmerizing, endlessly fascinating orange clay dust of the old Fairview Park softball field, some of the bigger kids were playing with a tennis ball and a chunky plastic bat. One of them dealing the ball an especially tremendous whack, the pop-up foul shot high into the air, lodging in the chain link backstop. The o's of many child mouths drooped into frowns.
"We need a Doherty," called our friend Jeanne from the sidelines, where she stood with her toddler Gabe perched on her cocked hip. "A Doherty could get that."
And, sure enough, there went a Doherty—it must have been Mark, or possibly Matthias—scrambling like a spider monkey up the backstop, and popping the ball out. Then, turning a victorious grin to his adoring fans, he braced his gym shoes against the chain link as if intending to fly from that height onto the infield. But a warning call of, "Now…" from Jane brought him down the more advisable, slower route.
After this, the name of Doherty became part of our family lexicon. It started with obvious cognates: a tattered blue grocery bag fluttering from the high branches of a blossoming pear tree, a lost balloon bouncing against the ceiling of St. Paul's gym. We would see something out of reach or unattainable, and remark, "Well, this is a job for a Doherty," recalling the graceful ease of the little boy who knew instinctively that if you just throw your whole self at a problem without fear, you have a better chance of success than if you stay safe in the dust.
Over the years, "We need a Doherty" began to take on more nuanced meaning. Say that John and I had spent the morning cleaning the gutters, bemoaning our increasing age and decreasing nimbleness as we tentatively ascended and descended the shaky ladder. Then, the conversation might go:
"Know what we need?"
And then we'd try our best to channel our inner Doherty long enough to get that last really difficult gutter over the back porch.
Eventually, our confidence in the Doherty brand prompted us to appeal directly to the family on a couple of occasions when we seriously doubted our own strength and stamina. Our favorite of these happened last summer, when Greg and Matthias, armed with sledge hammers, made about half an hour's work of an old house foundation that had for twenty years posed a much-hated hazard even as it lurked under our kitchen.
My own tendency when considering the tennis ball in the backstop is to focus first on the ball—the obstacle, the dilemma, the loss. Gradually, as frustration builds, I will direct my resentment to the chain link, and the way it cruelly snares the ball in its flight. But the right thing to do, I know—the Doherty thing—is to look past those things, at all those diamonds of azure sky. Then breathe deep, and take a running leap.

The Lazy Modeler's Toolbox
A few weeks ago, I began posting unedited modeling and scene-building time-lapse videos (the series is called The Apartment and I'll be uploading more installments as I get down to editing the captures) documenting the construction of my Classical scene.
As the comments about the videos started rolling in, several people began asking whether I was using mainly native 3ds Max tools or some third-party scripts to model. I realized that the reason they were asking was that I was using a fair number of custom keyboard commands to trigger third-party tools, which made it difficult for people with their own installs of Max to understand what was going on.
From there came the idea of a short post documenting all the third-party scripts and plugins that I have integrated into my daily workflow. In order to make things simple, I will focus on free tools, ignoring for now the likes of Forest Pack, RailClone or GrowFX, which are big, mind-bending modeling solutions in their own right that just happen to run in 3ds Max.
I will also limit myself to the tools I use on a daily basis. I've collected many cool scripts over the years, some of which are still being maintained, but I only ever use a handful of them regularly. The scripts below are those that have passed the test of time. These are the tools I install on the first day whenever I set up a new version of Max.
I realize there's a degree of habit involved here. As Max evolves, it develops new functionalities that can make some scripts obsolete. Sometimes, though, I will still keep using the third party tool out of sheer inertia or laziness.
I will add to this list over time if I come across more indispensable gems. Likewise, please tell me your thoughts about these, suggest your own, and let me know about better alternatives.
Drag & Drop Reference Image by cbuelter
You've seen this one over and over again in my modeling time-lapses. Drag any image file into the window and this script will make a plane to the image's exact dimension and map it with the image as a texture. This turns a laborious process into a one-click affair. There are a few options too, including assigning a V-Ray material to the plane. A must-have to bring any blueprint, plans or references into Max quickly.
(The cbuelter site seems to be down right now so not sure exactly where to find the script these days.)
Extend Borders by Racoon Artworks
This is kind of hard to explain but this script extrudes the open borders of a poly object while conserving the model's existing angles instead of distorting them as a native extrude would. Check the videos on the site and you'll know what I mean. This is one of the tools that I have mapped to my keyboard and use over and over again. It's super fast and addresses one of the oldest and most vexing gripes about modeling in Max.
Racoon has a few other tools on the site that may be worth checking out. I'm intrigued by Shape Connect, for example, but I haven't tried it yet.
Rapid Tools by Rapid Tools
This one is a gold mine and hugely popular. It's a Swiss army knife suite of modeling scripts that offer a mixture of productivity tools (make stuff faster than naked Max) and extensions (make stuff that naked Max can't do).
The list of tools is long but my favorites include fast-loop-regularizer to make circles on models, zero-weld tool, which takes the tedium out of welding verts, and the RapidQCap, to cap cylinders and other open model parts with nice quads.
There are many more things in the list that I don't use that often but are still incredible time-savers, including a fast conformer and a Spline FFD modifier. Check out the site for even more stuff.
Mass Randomizer by Arda Kutlu
There are many randomizers around and this is the one I've settled on. It offers a quick way to randomize the rotation, translation, mat ID, UVs, etc. of any objects.
Soulburn Scripts by Neil Blevins
This is a classic that hardly needs introducing. Like RapidTools, Neil's big bag of scripts offers a huge selection of smart and fast tools to make your modeling life easier. A personal favorite is the object detacher, which works in the blink of an eye.
MultiTexture by CG-Source
Many renderers have developed their own versions of MultiTexture, but the original still works nicely and the latest version has some interesting new functionalities (which have unfortunately made it a little clunkier to use).
While you're on the site, check their collection of commercial textures that can be used in conjunction with the script.
Floor Generator by CG-Source
A must-have for anyone who does interiors, the tool generates various types of parquet geometry inside a closed spline, with cool randomizing options. You can use it in combination with MultiTexture to make wood floors that show no visible repetition over large areas.
The latest version is now a modifier, which has the huge advantage of being non-destructive. The basic tool is free but there's a paid version too that adds different styles of floors, such as basket-weave or hexagon tiles.
Unique Material ID by CG-Source
Another free tool by cg-source that works very well in conjunction with MultiTexture. Use it in those situations where you need to randomize the material IDs of elements in your mesh without setting a specific ID range.
Glue by Itoosoft
A simple tool by the makers of Forest Pack and RailClone that drops a spline on a mesh object. I'm always surprised at how often I find myself using it. Very useful to drop text on curved surfaces for instance.
Clone by Itoosoft
Another Itoosoft free tool. Recent versions of Max have far more powerful cloning tools that use MCG these days. But I never warmed to any of them, strangely, and I always find myself going back to this super simple version.
Thanks Bertrand! I've been using the drag-and-drop reference image ever since I saw your first timelapse and it's a real time saver.
Nicela.. Thanks for sharing
Glad to see you like my Extend Borders script! 🙂
I had a look at your timelapse videos and I'm pretty sure you could make good use of the ShapeConnect script. If you ever try it, I would be happy to see your results (or let me know if it doesn't work for you).
Hi Bertrand, great idea to collect some usefull scripts for 3dsmax. One of my favourites are the ones from pixamoon, especially – bitmap tracking- which is very handy for collecting, relinking and copying bitmaps.
Options for finding related materials and objects for specific bitmaps and so on….it`s a gem i use nearly on every project and it is regularly updated for new functions and debugging.
There are some other scripts on the site, which are worth to take a deeper look at.

Red envelopes/packets are money wrapped in red paper given to kids from their parents, grandparents and others as New Year gifts. They are called hongbao in Mandarin and lai see in Cantonese. Sending red packets is a well-observed custom at Chinese New Year.
The Significance of Red Envelopes
Chinese people love the color red, and regard red as the symbol of energy, happiness and good luck. Sending red packets is a channel for sending good wishes and luck. Actually, the significance of red packets is the red paper, not the money inside. Wrapping money in red packets is hoped to bring more happiness and blessing to the receivers. Hence, it is impolite to open a red packet in front of the person who gives you.
In China, the red packet is called yasui qian (压岁钱 /yaa-sway chyen/), which means 'suppressing ghosts money'. Those who receive a red packet are wished another year negotiated safely and peacefully.
The Giving of Red Packets
Those who intend to send red packets prepare them in advance, such as after the New Year's Feast, as when the bell of a New Year is ringing, kids begin to pay New Year visits to greet their elders, and then it is customary for the elders to give the kids their red packets immediately. Hongbao can be put under kids' pillows by their parents if they fall asleep on the New Year's Eve.
Who should I give a red packet to? And how much should I put in it?
Traditionally speaking, if you have started earning money, it is time to start your experience of giving red packets. Giving a red packet is a way to share your blessings. Generally the amount of money wrapped in the red packets depends on your income.
However, there is a custom that if you are not married, you need not to send red packets to others. Your close relatives (like your parents and your grandparents) would keep giving you red packets even though you are married, which is a symbolism of their love and blessings to you.
- To your elders (especially your parents and grandparents): always $100 – $300
- To the younger generation without income (especially those who are still at school), such as the children of your close friends, your relatives and your colleagues: always $10 – $30
- To your own children: always $20 to the amount you happy to give
- To your employees: always $20 – $200 (always given on the last working day before the Chinese New Year holiday)
- To other children: Prepare some small red packets with $5 or $10 for acquaintances' children, in case you meet them during the Chinese New Year period.
However, they are only guidelines. The true meaning shall always be a way "to share your blessing".
Happy Chinese New Year!!

UPVC, Metal & Timber Garden Sheds, Garages, Workshops & Outdoor Storage Buildings
You may not have a convenient storage area that would perfectly accommodate a mini digger or other piece of plant machinery, so the smart option is to hire. Many construction projects could benefit from the use of professional machinery or equipment, and luckily there are several hire companies to choose from in places like Epping and Rainham. Of course not all of these offer the same level of customer care or indeed high quality, well maintained equipment. These are important aspects if you want a safe and hassle free hiring experience. A few tips to ensure this include:-
1. Hire Safety
Safety is a priority with any kind of equipment, but especially where large plant machinery is concerned. All vehicles and equipment needs to be maintained and serviced rigorously on a frequent basis. Proper safety means taking the correct steps to ensure that every stage of the hire runs smoothly, from safe usage to transporting and delivering equipment.
2. Fit for Purpose Equipment
A big part of customer care concerns advising and making sure that the correct items for each job are being used. Vehicles may be to large or too small for a specific job, and it's sometimes hard for hirers to tell. The right guidance is essential for best results, and companies like Rhino Plant Hire, based in Essex get this right every time!
3. Condition of Machinery
Old or damaged machinery is often hired out to unsuspecting customers, increasing the risk of breakdown or accident. Even if this isn't the case, older versions are unlikely to be as efficient as newer models. A hire company with a policy of continual machinery renewal is the way to go here, some even offer their high performance second hand machinery for sale.
Rhino are members of the Construction Plant Hire Association [CPA], an organisation which is dedicated to supporting professionals within the plant hire industry. They offer all kinds of sound advice, helping hire companies to give their customers a positive service every time.

CSUB summer economics program culminates with largest class in history
July 03, 2013
California State University, Bakersfield is proud to announce that the largest class in the history of its Enterprise College completed the program today. A total of 235 in-coming senior students from 15 schools of the Kern High School District (KHSD) participated in this year's three-week program (June 17 – July 3), which educates students in the principles of economics and the essentials of leadership.
Enterprise College was founded in 1976, and is offered through a partnership between CSUB and KHSD. High school students entering their senior year with at least a 3.0 Grade Point Average and enrollment in at least one College Preparation or Honors course during their junior year, are eligible to apply. CSUB's School of Business and Public Administration coordinates and offers the classes. Upon completion, students receive credit for the college course Economics 100 (5 quarter units) as well as credit for their senior-year required economics course.
"We increased our class size from 140 last year to 235 this year," said Dr. Abbas Grammy, Professor of Economics at CSUB and Director and Instructor of Enterprise College. "I am pleased that more students are responding to the opportunity of collecting both high school and college credit. Because of the program, many students who participate choose CSUB to complete their long-term educational goals."
Enterprise College instructors include Grammy, and Drs. Aaron Hedge, Donna Simmons, Hoseein Bidgoli, Steven Daniels and Vince Carter. In addition, Dr. Charles Wall, Emeritus Professor of Management, Bakersfield College, provided students with the valuable lessons of community involvement. The program is funded through the Young Scholars Program and the Mid State Development Corporation, which allows the student cost to be reduced from $1,000 to only $100.

No, I'm not talking about the Cowry Catchers artbook (although I have gotten first proof, and it looks awesome!)
I'm talking about my Tumblr and Pinterest accounts. I'm going to try harder this year to post art from my books there regularly, so if you're on those platforms, please follow me and share my pictures. I'm doing this because I have a lot of artistically-rich story content, but Twitter and Facebook are not good social media platforms for sharing images or discovering things via artwork. I feel like I need to make more of an effort to engage on platforms that focus on images.
Also, with the cowrycatchers.com website gone for good, the artwork from those books is no longer available anywhere other than the ebooks. Apart from Book 1, it's now behind a pay-wall. Since the podcast on Podiobooks promises listeners that the artwork from books 1-3 is available for viewing, I feel like I need to get that back up somewhere, and it will draw more eyeballs on Tumblr and Pinterest than on my website. So, I plan to add a few images a day and try to engage more with folks on those sites. I'll post some art that's not available anywhere else, so follow along if you're interested.
If you don't want to deal with those sites, but still want to follow along, there's a Tumblr RSS feed here - http://alhilton.tumblr.com/rss I think there's a Pinterest feed, too, but it's basically the same content.

Arizona Republican Senate candidate J.D. Hayworth is trumpeting support from backers of 2008 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
That would not be considered out of the ordinary, except for the fact that Romney has endorsed the man Hayworth is challenging; Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
Hayworth, a former congressman and talk radio host, took to Twitter Wednesday to show that Romney supporters have created a Facebook group titled "Mitt Romney Supporters for JD Hayworth."
Observers predicted that Romney's endorsement would allow McCain, the GOP presidential nominee in 2008, to collect conservative support that he needs since Hayworth is challenging him on the right.
As with any endorsement, it's unclear to which candidate Romney supporters will flock. So far, the Facebook group only has 66 members.

Deeper reflections
What counselling techniques can add to user experience research
Researchers rarely have the luxury of multiple sessions with the same participant and so there is a risk of understanding individuals at a superficial level. The transfer of counsellors' techniques into research has a strong potential to enable deeper and quicker elicitation of people's experiences.
The reason I say this is that previously I worked with homeless individuals with substance use problems where I used motivational interviewing, a goal-orientated form of counselling, to facilitate reflection upon existing behaviour and enable positive change. Since the skills underlying this approach are very powerful at deeply dissecting people's motivations that guide their actions, they also prove useful in user experience research.
Substance misuse clients often attend counselling sessions begrudgingly as motivation is low. Over time, trust can be built by being respectful, non-judgmental and always genuine, but there are simple methods to initiate mutual affinity in the precarious first meetings. To establish rapport quickly, it is important for clients to know that they have the counsellor's full attention, which can be achieved through sensitivity to eye contact, body positioning and tone.
Researchers and counsellors alike should aim to say as little as possible, as these silences allow the client to explore their thoughts and direct the interview towards the issues which are important to them.
Wary of professionals from a lifetime of being passed through institutions, clients often begin sessions defensively and provide terse responses. To avoid this, open questions can be employed to encourage elaboration and increase the momentum of conversations. Another technique involves saying nothing at all; our reflex is to fill 'awkward silences' so when the person finishes speaking it seems natural to ask another question. Researchers and counsellors alike should aim to say as little as possible, as these silences allow the client to explore their thoughts and direct the interview towards the issues which are important to them. Therefore, it is essential that researchers create an atmosphere where these silences feel comfortable and that the participant does not feel pressured to answer immediately.
'Scaling questions' can also help to elicit deeper thinking. For example, "On a scale of 1 to 10, where one is the worst you have ever felt and ten is the best, where would you put your mood today?" The answer is largely irrelevant, but the follow up question requires more in-depth reflections, e.g. "why did you say 3 rather than 0 or 1?" This technique can be employed in user-centred design research to qualify participant responses in quantitative data collection.
When clients make illogical statements it is important to encourage them to come to the realisation of the illogicality of their utterance themselves, as this is most likely to lead to behaviour change. If they say, "I can't stop drinking because then I couldn't hang out with my friends", the counsellor can repeat this back to them stating it as a fact rather than a question. This technique is called reflective listening and it involves repeating the client's exact words to encourage them to 'hear' their own words. Within research, participants sometimes say what they believe the researcher wants to hear, and so this technique could help extract the truth.
'Miracle questions' have been found to be powerful with depressed clients who struggle to see beyond their current situation. For instance, a question such as "If I wave my magic wand over you tonight while you sleep and these problems disappear, how would your life be different in the morning?" can enable clients to think freely without being restrained by deep-seated fears, which provides an opportunity to shift thinking towards potential change. The utilisation of this 'creative thinking' method in a research setting enables conceptualisation of truly powerful solutions. Steve Jobs claimed that "people don't know what they want until you show them", but by encouraging people to dream up (often unconventional) ideas, more user-centric technology solutions that really fit into people's lives can be generated.
Counselling methods are currently being under utilised in user experience research. The adoption of these techniques can help elicit rich data about end users even within limiting timeframes. This is a call to use them more – forewarned is forearmed!
Mindset reminder
- Crafting questions carefully then speaking as little as possible encourages elaboration and deeper thinking.
- Repeating back statements and encouraging people to dream gets to the heart of what people feel and want.

Paul Prather: Your kids are your responsibility
In my last column I acknowledged that I'm pretty much a liberal now, at least by the topsy-turvy, good-is-bad, Orwellian standards of 2013.
Notwithstanding that, a few arenas remain in which I'm not only non-progressive — I'm a reactionary.
One of those is child rearing. I believe the overall quality of parenting in this country has sunk to its all-time nadir.
Few in my circle of wife, family and friends share my opinion. They politely listen to me rant, then wander off muttering about confiscating my tinfoil hat.
I don't care.
For instance, in 1990, when the Kentucky Education Reform Act made headlines, I kept saying, "This is well-intended, but reform won't work. We'll spend billions and hardly make a dent, because we're addressing the wrong problem. The problem isn't the teachers. The problem isn't the students. The problem with education is the parents."
Two decades later, we're still wringing our hands and touting ever-shifting reforms — and I can't see we've improved education a whit. So I repeat, for the 10,000th time: The problem is the parents. Even more so today than in 1990.
I'm a parent myself. I'm a grandparent, too.
I know firsthand how challenging it is to raise kids.
And no parent or grandparent, including me, is flawless. Real life is messy and not always amenable to pat answers.
Also, some children are more difficult than others, and some are born with emotional problems or other issues that make rearing them harder still.
Occasionally, I've known parents who did almost everything right and their offspring still went wrong.
All that said, effective parenting is possible, assuming you've got a kid who's fairly teachable to begin with — just a goofy, garden-variety child. As a parent, you don't have to bat a thousand. You just have to get it mostly right most of the time.
So, while I've got my tinfoil hat on, here are my suggestions for raising productive, respectful, educable children.
■ If you're emotionally a child yourself, don't have children. Parenting is for grown-ups. If it's too late, if you've already got kids, grow up. Now.
■ Get married and stay married. Study after study has shown that kids reared in intact homes with both parents present are, on average, healthier, wealthier, better students and less at risk for every social ill than kids reared by single parents or in broken homes. Should you stay in a less-than-blissful marriage for the sake of the children? Assuming there's no physical danger or insanity — probably yes. Enduring unhappiness for your children's benefit is your duty.
■ Don't abuse drugs or alcohol. You can't be a responsible parent if you're stoned out of your gourd. I sound like Nancy Reagan, but just ... say ... no.
■ Remember, your children are no one else's responsibility. You brought them into the world — they're your job. Not the schools' job. Not the church's job. Not your parents' job. Man (or woman) up. But you'd rather go out clubbing, you say? You'd rather have your freedom? Tough beans, pal.
■ Quit being your kids' bestest buddy. You're the adult. Teach your children to do the right things the right ways at the right times for the right reasons. This may make you unpopular. So what? They're 10 years old, for crying out loud. Ask yourself: Am I so needy I require constant approval from a 10-year-old?
■ If they get into trouble, assume it's their fault. Your child's schoolteacher has 25 other kids in her class. There's no motive for him or her to arbitrarily pick on your precious darling — unless that precious darling did something wrong. Don't rush to school (or church, or the ball field) to blast the teacher (youth group leader, coach). That's not being a protector; that's being an enabler. It teaches Junior that rules don't apply to him and turns him into a sociopath. Let him reap the consequences of his errors.
■ Don't raise your voice. Nobody profits from being yelled at or hit, including kids. Let your yes be yes and your no be no. Explain your decisions and laws calmly, then stick to them. You have to outlast the little heathens.
■ Create a learning environment at home. Make it clear — by being a reader and a student yourself — that education is vital.
■ Let your children face normal adversity. They're going to encounter adults, not to mention other children, who are stupid, surly and unreasonable, who bench them on the ball team or omit them from the party invitation list. This is wonderful! It's great preparation. Life is often frustrating and unfair. They'd better learn that now.
■ Never let them suffer true abuse. There's a difference between an adult who's cranky or dumb and one who's molesting or beating them. If your kid is really in danger, it's your sacred obligation to lose your religion on his or her behalf.
■ Be the person you want your kids to become. Children are mimics. You are their role model, whether or not you intend to be. If you want them to work some day, then go to work every day. If you want them to be truthful, then be honest yourself.
■ Take them to church. They'll learn about grace and sin, about hope and charity. But if you merely send them while you pile up on the couch to watch football, you're saying these lessons are unimportant. Accompany them.
■ Hug them regularly and assure them you love them. Especially when they've messed up.
■ Pray for them. Pray for yourself, too, that you'll raise them right.
Tinfoil hat or not, I'm telling you that if parents did their jobs, we wouldn't need school reforms — or reform schools.

Pinky herself
I left school after my exams when I was 16. I had always intended on staying on to study, and going to university to become a journalist (I was going through a Hunter.S.Thompson stage at that time) and that was my life's ambition. To be a rockstar gonzo music journalist...funny how things never work out how you thought, but hey ho, such is life.
Even when I left school at 16, I kept intending to enroll on some kind of course at some point, but again, life managed to get in the way of things...So for my 23rd Birthday in February, my husband's present to me was to attend a short course in Garment Construction at the local college. My mum signed up and came too.
The description on Southend college's website is thus:
This introductory course will provide you with the knowledge and skills that are required to construct your own unique garments. Based in the College's fashion centre you will have access to a range of garment construction resources and professional tutor support. If you are interested in pursing a career in fashion, or you would simply like to create your own garments as a hobby, this course will meet your personal needs.
This course is delivered on a Wednesday evening between 19:00 - 21:30 over four consecutive weeks.
At the time of us booking this course, myself and my mum did see ourselves as beginners in the sense that we had had no formal training. However, we didn't realise this would be a BEGINNERS course, as in 'this is how you wind a bobbin' etc. I think we lacked confidence at this stage. We didn't really see ourselves as more than beginner home-sewists with big ambitions.
The course was led by Tilly Batchelor, who along with her mum Candy, run a vintage reproduction dress company called Bamboo Bettie. At the time of attending this course, I had already come across Bamboo Bettie on Facebook as a suggested page and was quite surprised to have the course being run by someone who isn't just a teacher/tutor, but actually lives and breathes sewing. Perhaps this was naive of me, but hey, remember I left school at 16!
Dresses by Bamboo Bettie SWOOOOOON!
Tilly is a brilliant tutor, and you can see she has so much passion and enthusiasm for what she is creating. She always had time for each person, and handled the varied range of skills within the class brilliantly as I don't believe that anyone ever felt bored, or uninspired at any time.
By the end of the short 4 week course, each student had managed to complete a wearable skirt, all with a vintage twist.
We both really enjoyed this course. It was nice to be around some like-minded people and have a few hours of time just to focus on honing skills. Even though there were people on the course who were complete beginners, I don't feel this held us back at all.
Overall, although this class was probably intended more for complete beginners, rather than shy, under confident competent sewists, I still felt that this was a worth while and knowledgeable course to attend. Even if you hadn't managed to learn any new skills per se, you would still come away with buckets of enthusiasm and inspiration that the wonderful Tilly brought to the table.
Lastly, and most valuably to me, was the amount of confidence I gained by going on this course, and I definitely have Tilly to thank for that. Along with some skills I wasn't quite sure how to do (felled seams, inserting a zip etc), I now have the confidence to believe in my sewing and trust what I am doing, and really, that's invaluable to me.

Picture Perfect. All of the skirts we made on the course lined up in a row!

Just before noon today there was an enormous bang. We're all a bit jumpy given the recent attacks in Paris I think, and when we realised it wasn't right nearby, my coworkers and I all raced to the window. I caught a photo of the rapidly disappearing aftermath - the black smoke whipping away on the wind.
It turned out to be a gas cylinder or something on a nearby building site. I tweeted the photo, and it got some retweets. Eventually, I was contacted by the Evening Standard. Their journo asked to use my image - I said yes - and also asked me for some background. I thought I would amuse myself by ironically recounting the incident in the voice of an ordinary member of the public. They pretty much published what I said verbatim which I wasn't expecting, but hey ho.
UPDATE: It seems it was a tar boiler, which explains all the black smoke. Here is an entry about the incident on the London Fire Brigade website:
"Four fire engines and 21 firefighters were called to a fire on a building site on Lanacre Avenue in Colindale this morning.
The fire affected a
The Brigade was called at 1157 and the fire was under control by 1308. Crews from Hendon, Stanmore and Finchley fire stations are at the scene. The cause of the fire is under investigation."

As technology makes the world more connected, it is shrinking barriers for employees and creating an entirely new workforce and work environment: the digital workplace.
What Is The Digital Workplace?
Gartner describes the digital workplace as "a business strategy for promoting employee effectiveness and engagement through a more consumer-like computing environment." The idea of "from the cubicle to the corner office" no longer exists in the digital workplace, as work is no longer a place. Instead, it now has similar characteristics to an application. Employees want to access "work" on whatever platform they choose, both when and where it is convenient for them.
Moreover, mobility often blurs the lines between employees' work and home life while placing a certain level of expectations on employers. Creating a truly digital workplace is a significant challenge, but organizations that address the necessary dynamics will create a competitive advantage in terms of productivity, innovation, collaboration, and overall employee satisfaction.
The Rise Of The Virtual Employee
In the digital workplace, organizations need to leverage technology to enhance the employee experience. However, they also need to reimagine the employee experience the same way they would improve the customer experience. For example, facilitating the right worker connections can encourage employees to form communities, foster camaraderie, and promote loyalty. Similarly, creating a comfortable workplace with personal space and open areas for free-flowing discussion can improve productivity. Giving staff access to simple, convenient technologies similar to the ones they use in their personal lives can make their worker easier and more enjoyable.
Technology empowers virtual employees in the digital workplace thanks to rapid advancements in social and digital tools. Organizations should not only adopt a mobile-first strategy, but also a digital-first mindset.
The following are three essential components that make up the dynamics of the digital workplace:
Organizations should consider how to use these technologies to enhance the employee experience in the digital workplace.
Not only has mobility changed the experience, but cloud computing has also reshaped the relationship between employees and employers. In a cloud-based world, employees can share resources and collaborate more effectively; and with mobile solutions, they can access information on the go, enabling them to do things they couldn't do before. As companies begin to fully embrace the digital workplace, they should focus on the employee experience the same way they would on the customer experience.A passionate student of business transformation, Carol Zichi is a professional with over 30 years of experience in various areas of the computer industry.

This experience can also help strengthen a student's professional circle. "You're truly going to gain an international network," says Paul Lanzillotti, the founder and co-owner of Amerasia Consulting Group, which helps people get into undergraduate and business schools.
The fact that it topped HBS, even ever so slightly, was not an unexpected outcome. "I'm not surprised to see GSB top HBS on this list, just because Stanford seems to be edging Harvard on most lists," says Adam Hoff, a principal with Amerasia Consulting Group. "GSB is a more selective school by the numbers, it has a smaller class size and thus feels more exclusive, and it seems to be a 'hotter' school given certain macro cultural trends. We're in a world that seems to turn on the wheel of Silicon Valley, a focus on social impact, a brogues and chinos vibe over suits and wing tips. I know that among my clients who got into both, most choose Stanford. That said, I still have far more people who go into this process with HBS as their top choice and who don't even apply to Stanford than I do the opposite."
Admissions consultants say that Wharton's Round 1 admissions decisions are more focused than ever on whether the school believes a candidate can achieve his or her post-MBA career goals. Highly qualified applicants who tell the school they want to use the degree to make what could be perceived a more difficult career switch are getting dinged, says Adam Hoff of Amerasia Consulting Group.
For a pulse of the applicant market right now we turned to one of the more outspoken and candid MBA admission consultants who has been advising graduate school candidates for many years. Adam Hoff, a principal of the Amerasia Consulting Group, knows the business from two angles. He had been associate director of admissions at his alma mater, Pepperdine University, where he reviewed more than 1,000 files in each of the three years he served in the job.
Stanford's win over Harvard doesn't come as a shock to Adam Hoff, an MBA admissions consultant with Amerasia Consulting Group. "This doesn't really surprise me because Stanford has long struck me as being more curatorial in building a class," believes Hoff. " It's a much smaller school that puts a huge premium on fit and how students will mesh together – I've long used the analogy that while most admissions offices are like customs agents (stamping the appropriate passports as they come through), Stanford's is like a wedding planner putting together the seating chart for the reception dinner.
Unlike Round 2, the first round of MBA application deadlines typically has a long ramp-up time. It is filled with disciplined candidates who have made the decision to get an MBA a year or more earlier—and started the process months in advance."Round 2 is typically a race to the finish line," says Adam Hoff of Amerasia Consulting Group. "This year is no different. We're all burning the midnight oil for sure."
As Hoff concedes, "There is a prevailing theory out there that HBS is trying to drive admissions consultants out of the process. I'd like to respond to that – as much to Harvard as to potential clients. It's self-serving to say this, of course, but in all my years in admissions, I never felt more valuable to my clients than I did for my HBS folks last year. And not because I told them what to write or gave them some secret formula, but because I helped them find what made them special to begin with and then I gave them the permission and confidence to believe in that and to articulate it clearly and with assurance.

The Onset of the Cold War
The fundamental disagreement at the beginning of the Cold War involved the question of who would control postwar
Europe. The Soviet Union first learned of the American atomic bomb through the use of espionage. George Kennan's "containment"
policy proposed American vigilance regarding Soviet expansionist tendencies. The Truman Doctrine was developed as a response
to problems in greece. The Truman Doctrine marked an informal declaration of war against the U.S.S.R. The Marshall Plan proposed
the infusion of massive amounts of American capital in Western Europe. Overall, the Marshall Plan generated a broad industrial
recovery in Western Europe. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization represented a departure from traditional American isolationism.
NATO intensified Soviet fears of the West. Truman's handling of the Berlin Blockade was an important factor in his victory
in the election of 1948.

text: Thanksgiving has come and gone, which means its now Christmas galore. We may not have snow to make our winters white here in Santa Barbara, but we definitely make up for it with our spirit. At the start of December shops are always adorned with holiday decor and plenty of fake snow. Twinkling lights make State Street aglow with cheer. People start to yearn for the smell of pine in their living rooms, while local tree lots start to bustle. It's hard to deny the warmth a town radiates during December. It's not the sun or the hot sand beneath our feet keeping us warm this time of year, its each other. That may sound cliche but it's true. Also who doesn't love a great holiday party? Tacky sweaters, cheesy Christmas music and unlimited refills of champagne. Happy December everyone!
