chappaqua transformation, chappaqua - ny
This 1980s Westchester colonial is a transformation in the truest sense of the word: the entire house was stripped to the studs. While most of the interior walls remained intact, each room was custom designed from scratch with new flooring, moldings, and built-in cabinets. The addition of a screened porch just off the main family room now serves as a way for the homeowners to entertain both indoors and out. The design team added further definition to the exterior by including new bays and porch roofs. The striking colors add the finishing touch, giving the home the timeless charm for which Daniel Contelmo Architects is renowned.

Genu recurvatum is a deformity in the knee joint, so that the knee bends backwards. In this deformity, excessive extension occurs in the tibiofemoral joint. Genu recurvatum is also called knee hyperextension and back knee. This deformity is more common in women and people with familial ligamentous laxity.Hyperextension of the knee may be mild, moderate or severe.
The normal range of motion (ROM) of the knee joint is from 0 to 135 degrees in an adult. Full knee extension should be no more than 10 degrees. In genu recurvatum (back knee), normal extension is increased. The development of genu recurvatum may lead to knee pain and knee osteoarthritis.
The most important factors of knee stability include:
Ligaments of the knee:
The knee joint is stabilized by four main ligaments:
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The ACL has an important role in stabilization of knee extension movement by preventing the knee from hyperextending.
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
Medial collateral ligament (MCL)
Lateral collateral ligament (LCL)
Joint capsule or articular capsule (especially posterior knee capsule)
Quadriceps femoris muscle
Appropriate alignment of the femur and tibia (especially in knee extension position )
The following factors may be involved in causing this deformity:

A floral bouquet of a dress ended up in my mailbox a few months back and I had been waiting for just the right time to wear. Tracy sent this my way from Maryland after spending a day garage sale-ing...Tracy, you're my kind of gal!! "The draped material at the waist matched the sleeves which is so pretty, so perhaps you can change it up a bit. I love flowers and this just seemed like something you would have picked out. How did I do?"
Loved the floral print, but it was a bit overwhelming not to mention a smidge big.
I started by cutting about eight inches from the bottom of the dress.
There was lots of lovely leftover fabric and I thought it would be fun to use it as some ruffles, to tie into the layered sleeves.
Before we went ruffle-ing, I trimmed the neck as this is where the fun excess material is going to go!
I began to pin my ruffles - did a little gather and overlap action at each inch.
Once my ruffles were pinned, I tacked them down the the neckline of the piece...
...and sewed it in place. I also took in the body of the piece as well from the back as there was already a seam in place. I just brought it in a few inches more.
With my eBay boots, I took my new dress to dinner with one of my gals to catch up over some Italian food and cocktails. Just the way to spend a Wednesday night!
It was warmer during the day, but as the photo was being taken I was actually freezing! I may have brought out this summer dress a bit early :)
We split some pizza and had martinis to go with while running into friends and taking a break from our busy work weeks.
New ruffled dress was a success - always fun getting complimented by people who don't know that it was crafted on my sewing machine. Total win!! Thanks for sending Tracy - you did fabulously :)

Almacenes Paris, one of South America's oldest and best department store retailers, felt it needed to update its store design to further solidify and attract a younger customer base, a force in today's Latin American consumer market.
RYA Design Consultancy (Dallas) was retained to take on this challenge: change the visual impression of Almacenes, turning it into more of a fashion department store.
The three-level, 150,000-square-foot store prototype opened in Santiago's La Florida district, combining the use of bold lifestyle-graphic billboards, lighting and splashes of color to create a dynamic visual language that speaks to a younger customer base.
At major mall entrances, such as in the cosmetics and fragrance department, the ceiling features suspended translucent arched panels with compact fluorescent light tubes. "We created an almost theatrical stage concept," says Tom Herndon, RYA's partner and ceo.
Square columns dominate the space, becoming a signature identity for the store. "The columns were seen as the signposts of the store to tell a story," says Herndon. "Some columns are lighted, and all can take a graphic or color panel."
Colorful lifestyle graphics, some of which are backlit, were also used as a visual beacon to draw customers through the store. The 16-foot-high perimeter walls challenged the retailer's visual merchandising team to use the space graphically. Large billboard graphics function as department or brand identification as well as lifestyle impressions.
Product is showcased via simple yet functional modular fixture systems. "Sophisticated fixture solutions are present on the perimeter walls, but they are minimally scaled and designed to incorporate the graphics," says Herndon.
Also notable in the store are the blue back-painted glass panels that announce the escalator core. This bright blue reflects the branded signature color for Almacenes Paris.

As you can see, this picture was taken of Tila at LAX as she was leaving us for her whirlwind tour to Australia. You know, the one where she called out the wrong name of the city she was in...but can you blame her?
"When u tour in so many cities & fly out every single day, u sometimes tend to forget what city ur in next." Gosh Tila, I'm sure that doing this for a whole three days really is taxing. I mean, wow. Everybody golf clap for Tila.
Anyway bitches, let's get back on topic. Last night we all saw the most epic fail ever on the internets when Tila claimed she had a miscarriage when that mean ol' chair fell on her. That happened 28 days ago. I know this because her old account is still accessible at celebritytweet.com. Way over on page 36 you can read about the chair falling on her. Or you can just gaze upon it here in a lovely screen cap:
(Side note: You can go to pages 29 and 30 to see her having severe pain and going to the doctor as soon as the the office opens O WAIT NEVERMIND LOLOLOLOL the day before leaving for Australia)
So if you count 28 days ago, that's February 13. She performed in Adelaide on February 18. That means, math wizards, that picture of Tila at the airport was taken February 17 - 4 DAYS AFTER A MISCARRIAGE.
Can we consider this for a moment? I mean, look at the smile on her face. Is that the smile of a woman who just lost a baby? That sentence doesn't even make sense. Who the fuck smiles after losing a baby? And for fuck's sake WHO THE FUCK WEARS WHITE LEGGINGS 4 DAYS AFTER A MISCARRIAGE?
Tila? Real talk - you fail. No, seriously. You fail.

Hey guys, I just wanted to maybe point out that the stuff Tila is saying she bought, is probably the free swag she scored at that Oscar gift party she crashed. It looks to be in line with the usual swag they hand out (usually a bag or two, perfumes and makeup along with gift cards and other things) I dont think she bought this at all, in fact I'm pretty sure this is the swag she got and nothing more.

Reading this Blog opens up so many old wombs for the real women that has been through such tragedy such as losing a child or a woman who cant even conceive.
Tila has never walked in our shoes. And to see her play around with this topic alone makes me nauseas.
I have NEVER, EVER in my life seen a celebrity(Whatever today's society labels this "THING" to be) that would go through this much or take it this far to draw attention to herself.
Thank You to the writers (and your little helpers) at the Tilasrotspot for putting in the time, patience, late nights and I know headaches in airing out this "THING" and who she really is.
On the behalf of so many women, REAL WOMEN who gathers the strength to still keep it moving after losing a child that they've carried under their hearts and not take this as some form of a sick twisted joke! There's NO excuse for her bullshit at this point.
Again?!....Thank You for being the voice to so many of us who has been through this!
Lots of Love,

Vy, that almost made me cry. I cannot express the rage I feel toward Tila right at this moment. Last night when she wrote that note I saw many of my friends react to it, friends who have been through that situation and who were genuinely hurt and VERY angered that she would toss it around like it's nothing. It made me furious. I'm pretty sure the other authors feel the same way.
Thank you for the lovely comment and please, rest assured that we aren't going to stop this. As I wrote on the hotspot earlier, her other lies have been tame in comparison. But this one is low. REAL LOW.

Recent Tila tweet -just ate my pizza & passed out and just woke up again. I have camps on the bottom left side of my belly! bleh! anyway u wanna phone chat?-
Hmm already with the cramps? Didnt she say that she could feel her baby on the left side?
Also this tweet: PS-Im EXTREMELY FLATTERED THAT EVERYONE IS SOOO FIXATED ON MY PREGNANCY! NOBODY WAS THIS FIXATED ON OTHER CELEBS SO THANKS! HA! NITE!
Now shes going on about spending 18 grand on herself. Louis Vuitton is the easiest fake to get, you can get really nice real leather ones that will fool anyone. The rest of the stuff looks like free swag. As well that metallic pink bag is several seasons old. And the only thing that comes up when I do a search for it is a lot of fakes and talk about it from 2005.
My guess is that these are bags she bought when she had money in 2005/2006. Sad.
I love how she says she has spent 30g on her baby. Seeing as she has claimed to have several miscarriages you would think that spending that much on a fake week old embryo would be the furthest thing from her mind. A normal sane woman who had several real miscarriages would never go around talking about her pregnancy before the first trimester was over. Let alone go out and buy stuff. Plus where would Tila even put 30g worth of stuff in her 2bdrm apartment? I love that she thinks moving into a two story house is some sort of major claim to fame.
Oh and seeing how she hasnt been of twitter or Facebook for more than like an hour in the past few days when does she think she went shopping? Wouldnt all her paparazzi be following her? Cos shes so hot and famous?

Haha! I saw those fake ass bags she posted too. Along with the (probably) empty cosmetic containers. She's so full of crap.
ALSO...isn't she supposed to be in London? And has been there for the past month? 1.) I can see her dirty ass house in the background of one of those pictures. 2.) How does she explain being at that "Secret Room" thing last week? 3.) How is she seeing her Dr. every other day if he's in LA and she's in London? 4.) How long ago was her trip to Australia? Was it even a month ago?
Hmmm... Once again... somethin' in the milk ain't clean!

Okay this isn't really about this post.. well one thing. On facebook she says she spent 18 grand.. but on twitter wasn't it only "10g's" according to her?
The thing I wanted to ask was.. didn't she say in a tweet that she was drinking redbull? or maybe it was an older one. Anyway the point is... if you're going to have a fake pregnancy you should read the label of what you ingest so you don't hurt your fake baby. Redbull and all other energy drinks say NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PREGNANT WOMEN or young children. Of course fake alien babies might be different who knows?

Jesus. This bitch is lower than low.
Back in December I went in for a prenatal appointment and the baby no longer had a heartbeat. I was exactly 10 weeks along and the baby measured 9 weeks 6 days which means it happened just the day before. I was scheduled for a D&C and the entire process from beginning to end was the absolute most horrifying experience of my life. The feelings of loss and emptiness were almost too much to bear after wards. To see this bitch make light and an absolute mockery of such a terrible situation angers me beyond belief.
Oh, and white leggings 4 days post-miscarriage? Give me a fucking break. Go to hell, Tila.

The more I read her garbage the angrier I get about her fake pregnancy. I am one of those women who lost a child only I carried mine to term and lost him @ 3 months to SIDS. She, with her lies have opened up so many wounds for me and I am angry. I had finally found a bit of peace with it but now with her lies I have lost that peace and now only remember
the pain and anguish of losing my Kyle. How dare she make light of losing a child to miscarriage and then lie again about being pregnant when Drs. always tell you, after a misscarriage, to refrain from sex for 6 weeks. So how can she be pregnant already? How could she possibly have any symptoms or even feel the baby? And how would she have a clue that it's twins? My money is on she os preparing to announce a miscarriage any day now. I am just so fucking angry. How dare she lie about something that is so heart wrenching for so many of us?

I'm so sorry Mailee, that must have been extremely painful. I can't even imagine. :(
But please do not let this greasy little hobbit upset you! Don't let her have that power over you. Don't let her take your peace away from you. She's insignificant. Yes, what she's doing is HORRIBLE but she will pay for it...karma's a bigger bitch than she is!

I KNOW couture bags VERY well. LV is the easiest to fake. In any big city you can find them on street corners left and right being sold. One of hers in the picture isn't even a real purse in the line it's a replica of. Meaning, the pattern on the bag and the style of the bag itself together isn't something made by LV. This usually happens with knock offs. They mix and match patterns and styles that you can't get without buying it knock off. There are huge factories in China that make replicas of all of these things (purses/bags/shoes/clothes/etc). I used to know someone who bought/sold this kind of thing here in the states from various sellers in China.

And Anon @ 4:59...the mental picture of TT digging around trash bins is hysterical! And not completely unbelievable.

Wow, I must be blind or something! Where on the screen cap does it say she claimed to have had a miscarriage?

At the time of the "miscarriage", she did not mention it. She hit her head, twittered about it, went to the ER, was out in an hour and then flew to Australia in white leggings for her karaoke bar-hop.
Only recently has she stated that she had the miscarriage when she hit her head with the chair. Those screen caps are shown in some other entries on this site.

She didn't really even come out and say "I had a miscarriage". She says some BS like, "I was pregnant, then something horrible happened and I wasn't pregnant anymore but now I'm pregnant again! YOU figure it out!"

The reality of Tila Tequila's situation
Casey Johnson's death sent her into a tailspin. Now the 'Shot at Love' star
says she just wants to be a businesswoman. Can she really step out of the
March 13, 2010|By Amy Kaufman >>>
Tila Tequila had looked everywhere, but she could not find her pills.
"I need to take my medication. My happy pills," she said, as she pushed
aside some of the empty Red Bull cans that were strewn about her Studio City
house. She wouldn't name the medication but explained, "Just so much has
been going on, my doctor has been giving me stuff to help me cope."
It was a late, very rainy evening in January, and the 28-year-old reality
television star and tabloid mainstay -- born Thien-Thanh Thi Nguyen -- had
not had a good day. Only a few moments earlier, she'd opened the door to her
home to find that her dog, Onyx, had chewed up a pair of her Lucite heels.
She chained him to a stripper pole. With a Swiffer mop from the kitchen, she
tried to brush aside the pieces of chewed up shoe, but the Velcro mop
affixed itself to her rug instead. "I don't know how to use this thing," she
said, tossing it aside in frustration.
She was trying to clean up before being photographed, a prospect she found
irritating, although she had previously agreed to it.
"What is this for again?" she said, sitting down at her piano, which was
covered in Christmas tree lights and vases of roses. "I'm not gonna do like
a model, Maxim thing. That's not who I am anymore." Instead, she had opted
to play a tribute song to her late fiancée, 30-year-old Johnson & Johnson
heiress Casey Johnson, who died in January from diabetes complications.

I was bored and reading Tila's crap on twitter.. she showed her "new" things on facebook and put a link to it on twitter. well in the post right after she says this is the kind of thing that will be at her garage sell and links to the same pictures! The very next post is about buying the stuff again. Did she "buy" it just to sell it in her garage sell? ;)

Oh I was wrong in my post from.. earlier. She first says her purchases were "10 G's" then it was $15,000 next was $18,000. I don't care how much money you have there is a big difference between 10 and 18 thousand.
I want to say ladies that I am very sorry for all of your losses and struggles with fertility. I hope and pray that each of you one day have the beautiful babies that you all deserve! I have been blessed with two girls of my own so I would never dare say I know how it feels. I have watched both of my sisters go through similar situations though. One sister has suffered miscarriages and the other had to have an ovary removed and has so far been unable to conceive after years of trying. I feel guilty for having the children that my sister can't. So it makes me so sick to see someone act like having a child is no big deal. Once she even said something about any woman can have a child... I wanted to smack her and say No they can't! Sometimes it doesn't work out that way!... bitch! I can completely see why Tila outrages everyone. I'm disgusted by her on behalf of all women. :)

Did anyone see her twits over the past 24 hours?
1) Claimed to be in London visiting her 'baby daddy' where she has been 'for the past month, pretending to be in LA.' Used a ridiculous fake British accent and sounded in complete meltdown.
2) After an anti-fan jokingly spoke of breaking into her house (very obviously a joke) she claimed to be phoning the police - a tweet which she subsequently deleted (I have the screen grabs).
3) "I'm gonna go take Onyx for a little walk now and grab a bite to eat to see my best friend. Have a wonderful night everyone!" Less than 12 hours after claiming to be in London?
4)"Anyway, I also have to finish filling out all this paper work for adopting a baby. It's a long process but I'm very happy about it. Muah! nite." I thought the adoption process was nearly over? And "a baby"? That's a far cry from her darling boy who is sick and alone in an orphanage waiting for 'mama Tila."
I have screen grabs for all this crap.

Thank you for exposing Tila's lies. This kind of crap burns me up.I have dealt with infertility for years now and I have had 4 REAL miscarriages.If Tila had a miscarriage at 15 weeks, she would have more than likely been admitted to the hospital and certainly would not have taken off to Austraila in 4 days.I've never had a miscarriage that late, latest was 12 weeks.But it took me literally about 2 weeks to feel like getting out of the house at all and that was just to pick up some food.
Now, if Tila has done ivf..as has already been uncovered, it would be a long process with taking ovulation induction medication or injections, etc.If she is due December 1st, she would have had an egg retrieval on the 10th, approximately.A few days after the retrieval you go in and get the embryos implanted.Also after the embryo implantation you have to stay lying down for,I believe, a day.A blood pregnancy test would not even be positive until about 3 or 4 days from now.So she has NO way of knowing she is now pregnant.This pisses me off.There are SO many people who have suffered the real pain of miscarriage and child loss..there are so many people who would give anything to be able to just up and do ivf or adopt from Russia or wherever(like my husband and I)but can't because it is so expensive.
BTW, I have done another round of fertility meds this month..just so happens I ovulated on the 10th,which gives me a due date of Dec 1.I dont have a clue yet whether I am pregnant or not.And I won't for a while.
The last thing Ive ever thought of doing is lying about being pregnant to fill the void(?).It's crazy.She is crazy.
Tila makes me realize just how unfair life is.Some people have all the fake problems there are to have,and they get all kinds of attention.Those who have real problems, well, they just have to deal with them best they can.I pray that this woman will get the help that she so obviously needs.

The charter school movement began in Minnesota, and continues to be strong, thanks in part to the Minnesota Association of Charter Schools, which represents a majority of Minnesota's 164 charters.
MTCS is a member of the association, headed by Executive Director Gene Piccolo, a veteran school administrator and former assistant commissioner of the Minnesota Board of Education.
Piccolo explains that the association, MACS, has three main purposes: public policy, leadership development and building community.
MACS represents the interests of charter schools and students at the Minnesota legislature, does research and helps advance public discussions of charter schools. The organization also provides training for charter school leaders and helps board members with governance issues. MACS also helps build unity and community among charter schools.
A lawsuit accusing Minneapolis Public Schools of de facto discrimination with segregated schools has caused some concern because the state Education Department is said to be working to include coverage of charter schools through rulemaking. Piccolo says charter schools should not be covered because students choose to go to these schools and are not arbitrarily assigned by the local school board.
Though the legislature has a short session this year MACS will seek to obtain increases in extended day revenues, including longer school days and other activities.
MTCS leaders are pleased to have the association looking out for charter students and schools every day.

From Hensleigh Wedgwood [after 9 March 1871]1
My dear Charles
I am very glad of an opportunity of discussing this question with you as it clears my own ideas and if anything further occurs to you you cannot please me more than by having it out.2
The foundation with both of us is I think the sympathy which man has with his fellows or his disposition to take pleasure in their joys & to be pained by their sorrows. This sympathy prompts him to act for another as he would for himself, to relieve his wants, to defend him against attack or to save him from danger. It seems to be part of the same disposition that actions performed in obedience to this sympathy excite the admiration of the spectator in proportion to the difficulties thrown in the way of the action by selfish considerations. At any rate it is a fact that the case is so; the exhibition of kindness and sympathy excites our love. If courage is shewn in addition our feelings rise to admiration, while the exhibition of fear tends to produce contempt. Direct opposition to the sympathetic feelings or the exhibition of positive malice excites aversion, indignation, hatred.
I should think that the admiration of temperance arises in a manner analogous to your cases of expression by opposition. We admire sympathetic action in proportion as it triumphs over selfish inducements to the contrary and hence excessive devotion to purely selfish gratification becomes of itself an object of contempt Thus our sympathetic feelings build up a standard of right and wrong to which action must conform in order to meet with our approbation. When man looks back on his own past conduct he judges himself and awards approbation and blame in the same way as if he was thinking of the conduct of another person. He feels contempt at the thoughts of his own meanness or pusillanimity, horror at his cruelty. If I am contemplating a case in which I have abstained from an effort to save another I am guided in my judgement by the chance I had of effecting my purpose. If I know that I cannot swim I do not blame myself at all for not throwing myself into the water to save a man, and this I think is very much against your notion that the ruling principle is the discomfort felt at the failure to act on a permanent instinct3
It seems to me that mine is a vera causa adequate to account for the phenomena I refer to it. On the other hand I do not think that your principle is a vera causa at all.4 I have no experience of the kind I do not see that the painful feelings of dissatisfied instinct could be made matter of actual experience by the thought of a past breach of the instinct any more than the sufferings of hunger or of bodily pain Nor do I see that if they could they would account for the emotions of approbation or reprobation which must all be considered under one head. I hear that Henrietta5 says we go on repeating our own views without attending to the arguments of the other, so I have scored the positive objection that I have to your principle, independent of the point that there is no room for it in my view & that it would not account for the phenomenon if there was—
Ever Yours | HW.
CD annotations
Answers CD's letter [7560], on points of agreement between them, the chief one being the sympathy which man has with his fellows. Disagrees however with CD's "principle" of the painful feelings of dissatisfied instinct.

The upstairs TV room is still the wrong colour, but I am no longer sure I want it to be the same colour as the formal living...perhaps you can have too much of a good thing.
Our A/C duct points have been cutout and the exchange unit installed:

Fairmont have also asked us for the heights that our towel rails and toilet roll holders should be installed at. I have no idea how we're going to work that one out. I would love to walk around the house with the installer and the pieces and just move them about until it looks/feels right. But I doubt that will happen, so I guess we just need to roughly work it out and hope for the best!

Be careful when interpreting the pricing trend reports that some of the ad networks and other sources are publishing. Many of these reports are focused on subsections of the Internet and oftentimes are statistically not relevant due to sample size.
It is clear that marketers want to maximize ROI/efficiency, especially in a challenging economy. However, what makes viewing the Internet as a whole challenging is that there are few apples-to-apples comparisons. Every publisher, network, etc. is different.
Our internal research has shown that oftentimes the most expensive placements drive the best value, which is ultimately what clients are looking for. If a publisher reduces their sell CPM from $20 to $10, but increases the number of ads on the page from two to five, does that benefit the marketer? It allows the publisher to drive an increased eCPM of $50 from $40 (assuming complete sell out), while the marketer's effectiveness is greatly reduced because there is more ad competition on the page.
My advice to marketers is to be aware of market and pricing trends, and avoid making rash decisions. While reducing one's CPM by 20% may be attractive initially, the resulting 40% decline in performance will be counterproductive to your overall marketing objectives. Sometimes a price reduction is incredibly valuable, but from my experience, there are times when it has the opposite effect.

Federico Balzaretti is one step closer to leaving Palermo for Roma after undergoing a medical with the Giallorossi on Wednesday, Sky Sport Italia reports.
The Italy international is continually being linked with a move away from the Sicilians, and it now appears to be only a matter of time before the left-back completes his transfer to the Stadio Olimpico side.
Roma coach Zdenek Zeman is eager to add some fresh blood to his defence, and he has made the 30-year-old defender his primary transfer target.
Balzaretti started his professional career with Torino, and also wore the jerseys of Varese, Siena, Juventus and Fiorentina before joining Palermo in the summer of 2008.
He has since developed into a key player for the Rosaneri, and has attracted the interest of Roma as a result.
The left-back snubbed a move to Napoli at the end of July, while clubs such as AC Milan, Juventus, Lazio and Paris Sain-Germain were also keeping tabs on him.

Wayne State University joins the Commuter Challenge 2017
Wayne State University is excited to announce its support for the Detroit Commuter Challenge in 2017. The Challenge encourages single-passenger drivers to try a more sustainable and healthy mode of travel to work during the month of May.
As the seventh-largest employer in Detroit, Wayne State strives to lead the region in efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from commuting trips by 175,000 pounds in the month of May. This is equivalent to the weight of 33 cars. By reducing the vehicle miles driven alone, air pollution is reduced in Southeast Michigan.
A critical aspect of Wayne State University's mission is to positively impact the local community and be a leader in the revitalization of Detroit. The university is an investor in numerous projects to improve its campus and Midtown, including transportation services and infrastructure such as Detroit Bike Share and the QLINE operated by M-1 RAIL. These and other projects such as Zipcar, the Midtown Greenway Loop, public bike repair stands, electric vehicle charging stations and Wayne State's free campus shuttle increase mobility options for the campus and surrounding community, enhancing connectivity and quality of life.
The Detroit Commuter Challenge is just one more way for Wayne State to incentivize the campus community and neighborhood to get involved in earth-friendly initiatives. The Challenge runs through the entire month of May (May 1-31).
To register for the 13th annual Detroit Commuter Challenge visit: www.detroitcommuterchallenge.com.

'Super Synthesising' the evidence of what works best in education for development
This blog post by David Coleman, Senior Education Advisor at the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, gives a good synopsis of research synthesis looking at the evidence of 'what works in education'.
I recently took part in a panel discussion titled 'Achieving impact through research in international development settings', held as part of the Building Evidence in Education (or BE2) annual meetings. The panel explored how closer links between the demand for evidence by policymakers and its supply by researchers could be forged. Discussions included the types of impact policymakers are seeking from education research and, in turn, the challenges that researchers face in achieving such impact.
It was a good opportunity to preview a document we at the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), together with our colleagues at the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) and Cardno have been developing. Dubbed a 'Super Synthesis' of the evidence, our ambition has been to boil down the findings from robust syntheses of the 'what works in education' literature, and then to synthesise their collective findings into a short, easy-to-use document.
To our relief, the feedback during the panel session and in the reception afterwards was positive, even enthusiastic. Thus reassured, we redoubled our efforts and now, our Super Synthesis is done. It is an avowedly practitioner tool, consistent with the intent of the Impact Initiative: to increase the uptake and impact of research findings, through the development of a compelling and – we hope – user-friendly tool.
We had three starting points. First, there are things that every policy maker and development partner working in the field of education want to know: what works? What are the best ways to get kids into school, keep them there, and learn? Which options have the best evidence of their effectiveness? And what are the costs?

|Project Period:
|Online and Face-to-face Training period
|Trishia OCTAVIANO
|Governance & Economy Department
|ASEF Public Diplomacy Training
Governance & Human Rights
|7th F2F-Training in Siem Reap, Cambodia
Public diplomacy involves strategies and activities aimed at influencing both the foreign and domestic public, understanding their attitudes towards foreign policy and shaping their views on related issues. These efforts help establish a dialogue across borders that improves understanding of each other, and shapes more positive perceptions of a country's foreign policy priorities or an organisation's international relations. For this reason, it is important that those actors responsible for improving the image of their country or organisation have a well-informed understanding of how they are currently perceived. This ensures that new initiatives can be implemented to build on strengths, address any perceived misunderstanding, and improve the overall relationship.
As a contribution to public diplomacy efforts of the 53 Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) Partners, the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) established the ASEF Public Diplomacy Training in 2013, in partnership with the DiploFoundation (Diplo) of Switzerland and the National Centre for Research on Europe (NCRE) based in New Zealand. Since then, 6 tutored online courses and 6 face-to-face workshops have been conducted and more than 220 participants have benefited from the training.
Through the Face-to-face Training and the Online Course, participantswill gain insights into the current perceptions of diplomacy efforts in Asia and Europe and how to incorporate public diplomacy skills into their daily work. The specific objectives are to:
1. 7th Online Course 29 July - 20 September 2019
2. 7th Face-to-face Training, Siem Reap, Cambodia 21-25 October 2019
Please refer to the uploaded leaflet for more information on the Training.
UPDATE: The application process has been completed. The training organisers no longer accept new applications since the list of participants has been finalized. Thank you for your understanding.

I've been working on the Dbl Fourpatch strippy. Once I found the perfect brown things came together really fast. Originally it was going to echo the look of the late 1800's. But it talked to me and told me something different.
I drafted it in EQ6 to plan borders and get an idea of the finished dimensions. It was at that point that a little voice asked- do I want yet another nap sized quilt? The plain borders brought the size to 63" x 76". I don't seem to make bed quilts. They just finish wherever. Well not this time!
I shopped six different stores to find the perfect brown; but while there I also found the perfect red. This is the new proposed layout. The last border is five inches. It finishes at a whopping 108" x 98". Oh my head... what am I thinking? But I'm pysched again and the juices are flowing. I haven't been this excited about making a quilt in a long time.
I've begun cutting the pieced border. Only fifty-five each of red and brown two and a half inch squares. Not as bad as I thought...

Spain is a country full of art, history, mountains, beaches, and tasty tapas. It has quite a few big cities with their own special cultural perks. You can find Gaudi's modernist architecture in Barcelona, or medieval castles in Segovia. If beaches and nightlife are more your thing, Spain can even offer that – in Ibiza! Here are some of Spain's top tourist attractions.
Basilica de la Sagrada Familia
Antoni Gaudi spent over 40 years designing the Temple of the Sagrada Familia. The temple was left unfinished upon his death, but is now pending completion. Nearby, you can find the Gaudi House Museum, where Gaudi lived for 20 years while working on his masterpiece.
The Alhambra and Generalife Gardens
These palaces in Granada are a highlight of Spain's Islamic period during the Middle Ages. The complex includes several buildings, towers, walls, gardens, and a mosque – all with delicate carvings, tile-lined ceilings, and the arches that Islamic work is known to have.
Cordoba's Great Mosque: Mezquita
Mezquita is one of the world's greatest works of Islamic architecture. It is a large, spacious mosque with numerous arches striped with orange color. Although it is heavily crowded by tourists, it is still said to have a calming effect on those visiting from abroad.
The Prado and Paseo del Artes
Madrid is home to the Prado Museum, one of the top art museums in the world for all that it has to offer, but the Paseo del Artes makes this stop all the more memorable. For one mile along the boulevard, there is a high concentration of artwork held in many more museums, including Reina Sofia National Art Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, and the CaixaForum.
San Lorenzo de El Escorial
Travel about 45 kilometers northwest of Madrid to the summer home of Spain's kings to see a huge complex of attractions. At San Lorenzo de El Escorial, the complex includes a monastery, church, royal palace, mausoleum, library, and museum. There are 16 courtyards, and the church sits at the complex core. This church is made of jasper and red marble.
Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao
This museum is one of modern and contemporary art designed by Frank Gehry and located in Bilbao, Spain. It is one of the largest museums in Spain and the building itself is one of the most admired works of contemporary architecture, and it has been frequently named as one of the most important works completed since 1980 in the World Architecture Survey.
Seville Cathedral and Alcazar
La Giralda tower, Seville Cathedral, and the Alcazar are a combined UNESCO World Heritage Site. These three buildings form a complex in the heart of Sevilla. They date back to the Reconquest of 1248 to the 16th century and feature Moorish influences. This is where you can find the tomb of Christopher Columbus, and valuable documents from the archives of the colonies of the Americas are kept there as well.
Santiago de Compostela Cathedral
The Santiago Cathedral was a destination for medieval pilgrims who walked the Way of St. James for months before arriving there. It is home to the relics of St. James, and so many pilgrims have laid their hands on the pillars that a groove has been worn in the stone.
Plaza Mayor
Located in Spain's capital city of Madrid, Plaza Mayor has been important to this country since the 16th century. It has played its part over the years as a stage of ceremonial events such as the proclamation of a new king, the canonization of saints, the burning of heretics, knight's tournaments, and bull fights. It's a pedestrian-only square, so there aren't any vehicles coming in to ruin the charm of it.
Costa del Sol
Said to be one of Europe's sunniest places, the beaches of Costa del Sol (coast of the sun) are accurately named. After initial overdevelopment of the beaches, the province of Andalucia has taken steps to undo some of the building to take the beaches back to their former, clean and attractive glory. Even the coast's city of Malaga is getting a bit of an upgrade, so everything flows in harmony with the beachy surroundings.
Toledo's Old City
This city sits high on a granite hill and is surrounded on three sides by the Tagus River. Its buildings are made up of Moorish, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture, and the town is laid out with narrow streets and alleys to reflect its Moorish past. Churches and convents are also present here and give a view of the Christian period as well.
Spain has a rich culture and a long history, and it's easy to see in each of its districts and cities. Visiting or living abroad there will bring you any amount of adventure, and you're sure to fall in love with this country.

Love my new 802
Still giving myself a hands on education with the new (to me) mrs802 I bought myself for Christmas (from my wife). It does have the usb installed, but didn't have the cd burner, so I ordered one and installed it after getting a pata/sata adapter. Problem is, the 802 is not recognizing it, because I get a "no cd drive" message. Any input on the subject would be greatly appreciated. I would much rather be able to burn directly to cd and really have no use for the usb. Thanks for having me!

does your pata/sata adapter have a Master/Slave jumper or setting?
I believe it needs to be set to Slave.

This post is my contribution to Change.org's Blog Action Day 2010, an annual event that unites the world's bloggers with the goal of sparking discussion and collective action. This year, more than 3,000 bloggers are writing about water, a global issue that affects everyone.
I made this video last year to illustrate the process I personally had to go through in order to have a glass of water while living in Kenya. The video quality is pretty terrible, so please forgive me as bandwidth did not allow for a better version and I did not save the original.
Other blogs have and will discuss the impact of water issues on the undeveloped world. I want to do something slightly different and show how it affected my life for a year. That is not to put my experiences on par with people who struggle for water on a daily basis. I always had the option to buy a bottled water if I absolutely needed it. My point is to show how the lack of clean water can cause a shift in the way one can operate . With much time and energy spent in regards to water, the energy spent collecting, storing and treating water can prevent people from doing other things.
Without any real order, I am going to quickly list the ways that water impacted my life:
- Every morning I had to do the following (took up roughly 45 min a day more or less):
- Fill up solar shower to heat up in the sun
- Collect water to be filtered.
- Store filtered water in bottles.
- Boil at least one pot full of filtered water and store it
- 500 mL of Coke cost 30 KSH while 500 mL of water cost 35 KSH
- We had a box to allow sitting when using the toilet
- Toilet is flushed by giving a strong toss of water
- This means that a bucket of water has to be present and filled on a regular basis as a few L of water is necessary for a proper flush
- Shower frequency was directly related to rain frequency; more rain = more water = more showers
- Rain means life stops; with mud roads from the rain, everything stops once rain comes
- When it does not rain for awhile, thinking about when it will rain again becomes a pre-occupation for everyone
What's the point?
The lack of clean water means everything. African women walk over 40 billion hours each year carrying cisterns weighing up to 18 kilograms to gather water, which is usually still not safe to drink. After that, the water should be filtered and boiled. However, as it is additional work to gather firewood and costs money to have a reasonable water filter, water is often boiled every so often and generally delivered as tea or coffee. Many times it is drank untreated; exposing the consumers to waterborne illness.
I had it easy compared to everyone else, yet water dominated my life. It meant that I could shower 2-3 times a week (sometimes more or less depending on water), dishes and clothes had to be washed in bulk to conserve water and developed a relationship with rain as if it was a person. Maybe I became a little sensitive to it, but the fact is that for a person who did not have to struggle at the same level as others; it meant that it was a significant burden to the rest of the community.
What should be done?
I make no claim to be an expert, only a person who has a small level of personal experience. Because of this I will make no large claims. The fact is that the solution is to provide the ability for every person to access clean water in their homes.
Some will suggest that we can play a part by taking shorter showers, hand washing dishes, never leaving the water running and so on. It is nice to think that we can turn off the shower when lathering up and save the world. There is an ease to this action. However, how does that bring clean water to Cameroon? I am not suggesting that water conservation is not important, but let's not connect it to the problem that affects billions of people.
This is a nice exercise in bringing about awareness in terms of clean water, but it is an issue that is far more complicated than a single post can cover. Even the solutions that are touted (playpumps) are not always sustainable solutions.
This is an infrastructure issue.
Water issues have to become a part of the entire package of development. Resources have to be allocated to work towards providing clean water solutions. This includes proper latrines, running water, clean water and high availability of all resources.
Here in the US?
We bring water to a desert to entertain people…
You have to check out this post on the Tao of Water. It is a fantastic meditation on water that everyone should read.
*I don't usually offer petition links, but since I am participating and they will be broadcasting my post, the least I can do is provide the above banner to the change.org petition.

The question of net neutrality has been up for debate on several occasions in the last decade, but never has it been more significant than it is now. Governing bodies of several nations control, or aim to police our freedom of speech online. None have had more direct impact than the policies of the United States of America.
Now a single country is determined to meter and blockade what is now a world wide community. It is not perfect, but no single political group can be allowed to decide who has the lion's http://premier-pharmacy.com/product-category/blood-pressure share of bandwidth. A simple analogy:
Choose your drink: Coke or Pepsi and get instant access, but dare to choose lemonade and you'll be waiting in line with everyone else.
This is what the FCC proposes to do by allowing their Internet to be defined as a service, instead of a utility. This issue affects everyone and is bigger than gaming. It's about freedom.
Tell the FCC that they need to leave the internet alone! Battle for the Net! See also the EFF's discussion of Net Neutrality for more information.

Bill and Melinda Gates to Lobby for Global Health Funds
Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Bill and Melinda Gates will make an unusual personal appeal to Washington officials Tuesday night, asking them to continue funding global health initiatives despite the recession and to commit to nearly halve the number of child deaths worldwide by 2025.
"Government funding that's coming from the United States is making a huge difference on the ground in the developing world," Melinda Gates said in an interview last week. Particularly over the past four to five years, she said, "it's really palpable -- it's making a huge difference saving lives."
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the largest private foundation in the world. But Gates said that even with its great wealth, the fund is focused on being a catalyst for much larger government-funded projects in health and education. "We have put about $11.9 billion in global health since the inception of this," she said, most of it within the past decade. "Our money is tiny."
The U.S. government's annual contribution to global health initiatives has increased dramatically in recent years, from $1.5 billion in 2001 to $7.7 billion in 2009.
Last month, the Gates foundation launched an advertising campaign in Washington highlighting the successes it has experienced worldwide.
Bill Gates, who made his fortune as a founder of Microsoft, will appear with his wife Tuesday evening at the Shakespeare Theatre Company's Sidney Harman Hall in downtown Washington. They will address members of Congress, the U.S. global AIDS and malaria coordinators, the health policy counselor for the White House Office of Management and Budget and others.
The presentation, separate meetings with lawmakers and the media campaign are meant to show that U.S. funding is saving lives and that the Gateses think child deaths worldwide can be cut from more than 9 million to 5 million a year in the next 15 years. They point to an AIDS program launched in 2003 by President George W. Bush that is estimated to have saved more than 1 million lives. A Bush initiative on malaria reached an estimated 32 million people last year. And the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, which gets a third of its budget from the United States, helped bring 88 million bed nets treated with insecticide to children at risk of getting malaria from mosquitoes.
"We are concerned because of the economic challenges that a lot of industrial nations are facing," said Jon Liden, spokesman for the Global Fund.
U.S. lawmakers will be debating massive spending programs even as they face an enormous deficit.
Liden said that malaria could be virtually eliminated as a global health problem within a decade and that the transmission of HIV from mothers to children could be by 2015 -- if the funding continues.
The U.S. budget for fiscal 2010 is not yet finalized.
The U.S. spending -- and that of the Gates foundation -- has at times been controversial, said Dean Jamison, professor of global health at the University of Washington.
"We don't have an AIDS vaccine, don't have a malaria vaccine," he said. But the foundation has spurred research, and the money has undoubtedly had an enormous impact, Jamison said.

I am Vibrant, I am Subtle
I look at the bigger picture, My heart lies in minute details
I dream, I plan the course of the journey
I am the face, I am the heart
We are so very different, so uneven; and we get together to create a balance!
In Chinese philosophy Yin and Yang are used to describe how apparently opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary. At Uneven the two founders Shourya Patel and Dexter Fernandes have, over the past decade proved this philosophy to be true, yet again!
Working with two of the most distinguished architectural & interior design firms of Vadodara respectively, the two founders had the inner urge to start a practice of their own. One which would allow them to choose projects which offer creative freedom. Right from the beginning in 2007 till now, 'no limits' is the buzzwords at Uneven. Constantly challenging the norm, constantly pushing for innovations, constantly striving to achieve something new and elusive... Along with architecture and interior design our repertoire includes designing weddings, sets, exhibition stalls and various events.
Over the years Uneven has grown to a team of over 20 professional 'friends'. The term 'friends' is used because a rare sense of comradery exists amongst the team working in a fun filled atmosphere at the studio. Be it a impromptu dance, an enviable playlist of music played at all times, a pet dog 'short circuit' as part of the team, theme oriented days celebrated with crazy fervor or coming up with countless reasons to party...we take our work seriously...but we don't take ourselves seriously. And hence can retain our freshness.
We are working on strategic design projects not just in Vadodara, but also in Raipur, Chennai, Mehsana, Aurangabad, Mumbai, Anand, Mundra and many more. A lot of our work has been featured in various leading magazines for architecture and interior design like Society Interiors, Inside Outside, Trends, Home Review, Better Interiors, and many more...
"Architecture is inhabited sculpture"
If asked for two attributes that define Uneven, then it surely would be Passion & Love for art & architecture. A rigorous design process is adopted wherein the project is taken up with a 360 degree approach. Whereby ensuring that each element, be it the form, the function, the branding and the interiors go in sync with the basic idea. This enables each of our work to stand out due to the detailing on each and every aspect. No wonder our design projects have been awarded in each of the categories from a small aquarium studio to large luxury housing project to individual bungalow designs.
A cohesive team, with each member pitching in their best is what defines the people at Uneven. Possessing a flat structure, ideas at times even come from the junior-most member of the team. The team members collaborate, working seamlessly with the clients on one hand and the suppliers / craftsmen on the other to ensure smooth functioning and efficient project management. A process led approach towards work ensures each stage gets its due importance, resulting in a stellar product full of finesses and character…with a stamp of Uneven!
The atmosphere at the Uneven Office is one that makes the clients feel at home. Creating relationships with our valued clients that shall last a lifetime.
We believe in our processes and our ideas, and are in love with the work and the projects we do. No efforts are spared to get the right feel to the project. We bend backwards to help our clients achieve their desired results. We also do not compromise to make our clients happy, and if required defend our ideas with passionate zeal.
No cutting corners, No Short cuts, Yes to Risks, Yes to Innovation.
Prospective clients...beware!
Having worked on over 200 projects, each one is close to our hearts. A few notable ones include:
|Dexter Fernandes, Proprietors
|Shourya Patel, Proprietors
|Hritu Patel, Finance HR Admin
Hi I am Hritu Patel. UNEVEN is like my second home. I am proud to be a part of it. Growing with family over the years has been a great experience with all ups and downs.

A majority of us have to deal with smaller living spaces. This is because of the fact that there are certain belongings that even if we do not use, hold significance in our lives. And since we can not throw them, storing them with other essentials makes us compromise on the limited living space that we have. Here are some of the reasons why storing our belongings in a NY storage unit is a better alternative than storing them at home –
Unlimited storage space – Whether it is your seasonal clothing, books, important documents or even the whole furniture of your house, storage space can be rented as per your requirement.
Safety and security – As self storage units are 24 hours under camera surveillance and protected by armed guards, fencing and other sophisticated security gadgets, they offer more protection for your belongings. In addition, self storage units are properly maintained and also offer climate control storage options that keep the belongings safe from adverse temperatures and pests.
Easy access – Ease of access is another important feature as this allows you to access your belongings at any time 24x7.
Self storage is the best option when it comes to storing your belongings safely. Find the New York self storage facility near you and keep your belongings safe and secure without compromising on your living space.

How to Use Shopping Cart Software for Your Online Business
When you go to the supermarket or another store, you pick goodies off the shelves and put them in a shopping cart. Your online business shopping cart software works on a similar principle. When you go to the cash register to pay for what you've selected, you empty the cart and present your goods to the cashier.
Shopping cart software performs the same functions on an e-commerce site. Such software sets up a system that allows online shoppers to select items displayed for sale. The selections are held in a virtual shopping cart that "remembers" what the shopper has selected before checking out.
Shopping cart programs are pretty technical for nonprogrammers to set up, but if you're ambitious and want to try it, you can download and install a free program — Perlshop. Signing up with a web host that provides you with shopping cart software as part of its services, however, is far easier than tackling this task yourself.
A shopping cart is often described as an essential part of many e-commerce websites, and web hosts usually boast about including a cart along with their other businesses services. You don't have to use a shopping cart on your site, though.
Some shoppers are put off by them; they're just as likely to abandon a purchase than follow through by submitting payment. Plenty of other e-businesses allow users to phone or fax in an order or fill out an online form instead.

Business & Real Estate
Medical device maker, slashing Sacramento jobs, sells for $1.2 billion
Volcano Corp., the medical-device maker born in the Sacramento area but moving scores of jobs to Costa Rica, agreed to a $1.2 billion takeover Wednesday under pressure from unhappy shareholders.
Now based in San Diego, Volcano said it is being sold to Dutch electronics conglomerate Philips for $1.2 billion, or $18 a share. The announcement sent Volcano's stock price up 55 percent on the day, closing at $17.84 on the Nasdaq market.
The deal has been approved by Volcano's board of directors but requires shareholder approval.
A maker of catheters and equipment for treating heart disease, Volcano had been criticized by shareholders in the past year for not cutting expenses quickly or deeply enough. The company lost $18.6 million in the first nine months of this year on revenue of $294 million.
Part of Volcano's response to shareholders has been to relocate its Rancho Cordova manufacturing operations and several hundred jobs to Costa Rica, where it opened a plant in 2012. The job transfer began in July 2013 and another 170 jobs were scheduled to move earlier this week, according to filings with the state Employment Development Department.
By next July, the company has said it expects to cease all manufacturing in Rancho Cordova. City officials have said they've been told some research and development jobs would remain in Rancho Cordova.
It wasn't clear what effect the Philips sale would have on the Rancho Cordova operations.
Volcano was founded in Rancho Cordova in 2000 but moved to San Diego in 2008. At one time, it employed more than 500 workers in Rancho Cordova.

We are unfortunately used to seeing animals in terrible conditions, tortured to do useless things in a circus, imprisoned in a zoo without being guilty of anything. But there is worse than that: the breeding of animals for profit, by selling parts of them. Since we got to know about a company that breeds crocodiles to sell their skins and meat, we pretended to be interested in this company's business and, once the owner was not there, and thanks to an employee who was only interested in money (he was richly paid to let us film), we managed to enter the slaughterhouse for crocodiles to witness what should not exist on earth.
"Hello, my name is Sweenie. I'm a guide at the crocodile farm.
We breed Nile crocodiles at this farm. We have got 5,000 crocodiles.
In this dam, we have 600 crocodiles and they are 6 years old.
We are breeding crocodiles for their skin and meat. If they are 6 years old we kill them for their skin and their meat. For the meat, you can only eat the tail and the legs – the other parts are poisonous. The skin they use to make shoes and bags and handbags. The pool is 2 metres deep. Crocodiles can all fit in the water, they all sleep in the water. If it's winter – like now – they don't eat. They hibernate for 4 months. Crocodiles keep their mouth open for cooling. So if see a crocodile with its mouth open, it's cooling its body. That's how they regulate their body temperature.
These ones are 5 years old. We have got more males here, that's why they're bigger than those ones. The big ones are the males, which grow fast.
These are 4 years old. We breed them every year. We've got the big ones for breeding. One crocodile can lay 30-70 eggs, and the eggs take 3 months to hatch. After they lay eggs, we collect the eggs from the big ones and put them in the incubator.
These are 3 years old. We feed the small ones chicken – they eat small pieces of chicken twice a week.
We change the water every week. We have workers that go in and clean everything and change the water. The crocodiles can't harm you. They start to be aggressive when they are 10 years old.
These ones are 2 years old. They could be eaten by fish eagles – that's why we've put the net on top. They are too small. We have protected them from the fish eagles because they are too young. We feed them small pieces of chicken twice a week.
These are the big ones for breeding. We don't kill them, we just keep them here for breeding. We've got 50 big crocodiles. 34 females and 16 males. Just for breeding. They also eat chicken twice a week. One big crocodile can eat 10 chickens. During breeding they leave their eggs here – they bury their eggs in the sand. Then the workers go in to collect the eggs. In order to go in the workers use a pipe – they beat the crocodiles and chase them away. They are between 25 and 81 years old. They can live up to 120 years. When a crocodile is fully grown its length is 6 metres. The longest we have here is 5 metres.
Crocodiles can breed until they die. With crocodiles, the more they grow the more they produce. They fight a lot during mating season. That's why some of them don't have tails and nails. Some of their fingers are lost because of the fighting. They fight each other a lot.
They sleep in the water. The pool there is 3 metres deep. When we feed them we call them. If you say "come" they all come closer – then we throw the chickens in. They can sense food from a long distance. If you put some chickens here they can sense them and they get closer for the food.
This building over here is where we keep the food for the crocodiles and it's where we incubate the eggs. So that's where we keep our eggs for hatching".

"I always wished this photo from the night Gary proposed in London was more... well, pretty. Knowing Tara's unique style and that she was born in England, I showed it to her and asked if she could turn it into something prettier."- Audrey Wallace
And then I went to work. I began by doing a sketch of the London Eye accompanied by various Art Nouveau inspired designs against a backdrop of the London skyline. This was one of the most important steps in completing this piece because a good composition and plan set in place at the beginning helps eliminate a lot of problem solving along the way.
Here is where I laid on the first wash of paint. I painted a few layers for the sky grading from dark to light toward the horizon.
Then I added the warm sunset glow...
I continued downward adding water. After the water was done, I began the London sky line giving some depth with varying shades of silhouettes and sizes of buildings. Some say at this stage it looks like the scene of something out of Mary Poppins.
This part was fun... adding the twinkling lights was like putting the cherry on the top of the skyline. The city all of the sudden looked alive and inviting.
I then added the lovely couple. Floating on the water, but not for long.
And now we have two peas in a pod.
I brought the Union Jack into my Art Nouveau inspired designs and used the sunset as my inspiration for colors.
Here is the finished result.

If one has the time, and the luxury of having a car, or rented a car, driving around the South Island of New Zealand is one of the great adventures in life. Aside from cities and towns, a majority of the island has little traffic, and nothing but sweeping views of far off mountains, expansive coastlines, and almost everything in between. While it is hard to single out one specific drive with the "best" views, any list would surely include the stretch of State Highway 94 from Te Anau to the Milford Sound (otherwise known as the Milford Road). Along this 118 kilometer (73 miles) stretch of road, one has fantastic views of Fiordland National Park, with alpine meadows, snowcapped peaks, waterfalls, old growth forests, and glacial valleys. The only downside to this road is that unlike other stretches of New Zealand highways, it is narrow, and at times, does not have places to pull out and admire the view.
While the intrepid traveler can stop at the Divide, and day-hike Key Summit as part or all of the Routeburn Track, and a lucky few can backpack the Milford Track, casual travelers are best served by a stop at the Chasm either on their way to Milford Sound or back, a spot with a short walk but one with epic views of the national park.
Directions: The Chasm is well-signed off of SH 94, and is located some one hundred and nine kilometers northeast from Te Anau. Even though it is hard to miss, it is located approximately five kilometers from the Homer Tunnel. From the parking area, it is a short, graded gravel path that leads out in a small loop across an open expanse, before ducking under the trees, and passing over two bridges that cross the Cleddau River. Here, along the river is where the trail gets its name as there are numerous sculpted rocks from thousands of years of flowing water, and many picturesque waterfalls that drop off into hidden channels carved into the rock. At 400 mostly flat meters, this is a trail that is suitable for everyone and one that is worth a stop because of the many great views of the park that it provides.
Tips: Although it may seem obvious, visitors should stay behind the barriers at this spot, as a fall could be fatal or cause serious injury. Visitors to the area who are interested in a multi-spot adventure can easily fit this, Key Summit, and the visitor's area around Milford Sound in a day's exploring.

This post covers a topic much talked about right now – the gold production cost for mining companies.
Just like we discussed a while back in the article on gold production break even level miners are having an increasingly difficult time staying profitable and generating free cash flow at current gold prices.
Recently, ZeroHedge wrote about this. According to Citibank, "a combination of rising unit costs (15% yoy), sustained high capital budgets and a falling gold price have resulted in a fast contraction in margins – so much that no gold company under our coverage will generate Free Cash Flow at spot gold."
See graph below for illustration on how much of the mining space is under water today.
Read the full article here: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-07-07/citi-no-gold-company-will-generate-free-cash-flow-current-gold-prices
This bodes well for gold prices as a diminished supply should lead to higher prices going forward even if demand should stay constant. As I've covered earlier, there are many reasons for why demand should increase going forward though.
