Hazardous materials, are common in many facilities and job sites. With the increasing complexity and sophistication of modern industrial processes, the use hazardous materials, such as chemicals, solvents and rare metals, are also rising. The wastes produced by these industries are equally hazardous, if not more so.
It is important for employees to know how to recognize these potentially dangerous substances, how to handle them safely, and how to dispose of them properly.
In 1976, the EPA created the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the handling of hazardous waste.
In 1986, OSHA was given the task of protecting employees who deal with hazardous material and waste (HAZMAT workers). In 1990, OSHA formalized the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) Standard.
The HAZWOPER regulations specify varying requirements for employee training depending on the employee's level of involvement with hazardous materials. As outlined in OSHA FAQs, these levels include
- clean-up operations — required by a governmental body, whether federal, state, local, or other involving hazardous substances — that are conducted at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites;
- corrective actions involving clean-up operations at sites covered by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) as amended (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.);
- voluntary clean-up operations at sites recognized by federal, state, local, or other governmental body as uncontrolled hazardous waste sites;
- operations involving hazardous wastes that are conducted at treatment, storage, and disposal facilities regulated by Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 264 and 265 pursuant to RCRA, or by agencies under agreement with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement RCRA regulations; and
- emergency response operations for releases of, or substantial threats of releases of, hazardous substances regardless of the location of the hazard.
The "HAZWOPER Series" of training programs provides employees with information the regulation requires them to have. By combining various programs in the series, training packages can be configured to help meet all of the OSHA HAZWOPER training requirements.

Why a Mid-cycle Review
Since its founding in 1957, the University of Waterloo has risen to the top echelons of post-secondary education in the world. Success like ours does not happen by accident. Strategic planning allows the University of Waterloo to address existing and emerging challenges, always with an eye to the future. In 2007, we produced our Sixth Decade Plan, called Pursuing Global Excellence: Seizing Opportunities for Canada.
Since this bold plan was unveiled, the University of Waterloo has celebrated many accomplishments, including a new health sciences campus in Kitchener, expanded global partnerships, and in 2012, the grand openings of both the Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum-Nano Centre and the new University of Waterloo Stratford Campus.
Since 2007, much has changed, both here and around the world. Those changes bring new challenges and opportunities.
Defining our strategic vision
In 2011, President and Vice-Chancellor Feridun Hamdullahpur brought fresh eyes to our strategic plan with the Mid-cycle Review, which engaged our students, faculty, staff and alumni in a comprehensive review of our strategic direction. Over the course of many months, the president consulted with a broad group of stakeholders and analyzed their feedback, as we assessed our progress towards our sixth decade goals, and whether those goals continued to reflect new global realities.
Scope: 4 key questions
- What would you see for the University of Waterloo as one of the globally recognized and respected universities?
- What might hold us back from getting there?
- What recommendations do you have?
- What priorities do we need to focus on?

As the European Commission is currently reviewing the EU budget, the Greek and Italian Prime Ministers have warned the Visegrad Group (V4) – Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary – that they will veto their access to structural funds.
Athens and Rome demand the V4 group to comply with the European Commission's mandatory refugee relocation plan put forward a year ago.
The plan envisages the relocation of 160,000 asylum seekers from Greece and Italy across the bloc. The European Commissioner for Migration, Dimitris Avramopoulos, told the Polish Rzeczpospolita on Thursday that the European Commission remains committed to the plan.
From Athens, the Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Thursday that "if a member state does not want to adhere to the agreement, it will be a good idea to cut – or at least limit – it's funding from Brussels."
Speaking to Italy's public broadcaster, RAI1, on Tuesday, Matteo Renzi said he would veto EU funds to countries that refuse to comply with the mandatory relocation plan. "We give 20 billion (euros) to Europe so that we can get back 12 — and if Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia want to preach at us about immigrants, allow Italy to say that the system is no longer working."
"If you build walls against immigrants, you can forget about seeing Italian money. If the immigrants don't go there, the money won't go there either," Renzi clarified.
The European Commission requested from Italy "clarifications" on its 2017 budget. Italy responded that it will have a higher budget deficit this year to meet the cost of refugees from arriving in Italy via the Mediterranean from North Africa. Up until October 2016 Italy had received 155,000 refugees.

When I entered CSN Stores Big Bad Bedroom Breakup for a chance at a $10,000 makeover, I didn't have high hopes of winning. I never win anything. Imagine my surprise when I received notification that out of 6,100 entries mine was chosen as one of the 200+ finalists competing for the semi finals! I submitted my pictures and made it here to the finals! There are only 86 of us and the contestant with the most votes will automatically be placed in the Top 5 Contendors, but the winner of the $10,000 bedroom make-over will be chosen by celebrity designer Michael Payne and the CSN Room Rescue Crew.
So I need your VOTE. Please go here and scroll over pictures to Vickie in Escondido (approx 3rd pic) then click on picture and to vote click five stars (if you are on Facebook. You may have to click on the Contest Voting tab to get to the voting) or go VOTE here for -Vickie in Escondido (approx 3rd pic) (if you don't use Facebook). This would be a dream come true for me and I truly appreciate each and every vote. Voting is open until September 10th, so tell everyone you know!
Here is my submission and my pic:
My bedroom is other peoples' leftovers and throwaways. After 28 years of marriage, my husband and I hit a rough spot a few years ago when he became disabled, but has been unable to receive his benefits (still waiting 3yrs later). I was the sole provider, until the economy stole my job last year. Since then, we've been evicted and gave away most of our stuff. Now we are stable again, but have no money to style our bedroom. Due to all of this bad stuff, our time in the bedroom has been spent for sleep alone. I miss our close time, I miss cuddling and feeling at peace and comfortable in our room: our space.
See how badly I need to win? I don't even have a dresser! I just move my folded laundry from place to place, depending on the time of day.
You can make a difference just by voting. And telling your friends and family to vote! Imagine getting to watch my bedroom be decorated by a celebrity designer!
I wanna breakup with my bedroom! Help!

Background on the California Building and Tower. One of the most iconic buildings in San Diego is the California Building, otherwise known as the Museum of Man. Whether one is walking or driving into Balboa Park over the Cabrillo Bridge, or flying into San Diego from foreign or domestic destinations, the California Building is hard to miss with its signature blue dome, stone ornamentation and soaring tower. Although many locals and tourists alike assume that the California Building was originally a church, especially because of the chimes in the California Tower, the building was specifically designed by noted architect Bertram Goodhue to serve as the entryway for the Panama-California Exposition of 1915. After the exposition ended, a group of prominent San Diego citizens formed the San Diego Museum Association to retain the exhibits from the exposition, and from that point on, the building became the home of the San Diego Museum of Man, a museum of anthropology and science.
While the museum has had and does have some amazing exhibits, one of the most striking features of the museum is and has been the California Tower, which is attached to the California Building. Topped with a weather vane featuring the ship of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, the Tower itself is 198 feet tall, and 462 feet above sea level. But, for a majority of the last hundred years, despite its readily visible stairs ascending upward, the California Tower has been closed to members of the general public. However, the story of the California Tower is one with a happy ending: as of January 1, 2015, the California Tower has been reopened to the public, and now features some of the best views in all of San Diego.
Tour Information. In order to ascend the California Tower, visitors are required to participate in a guided tour that is run by the Museum of Man. These tours, which operate every forty minutes, can be reserved online through the Museum of Man, and are limited to twelve participants per group. The tours are run by museum guides which provide visitors with information about the Museum, Balboa Park, the Panama-California Exposition, and San Diego. The tour ascends 125 steps from the entryway of the Museum to the first viewing deck at 357 feet above sea level. (Due to safety concerns, the tour does not ascend to the top of the California Tower).
Tour Review. While I am not a San Diego native, I have spent most of my life in San Diego. Ever since I was a small child, I wanted to climb the tower in order to experience what was inside. Since I was also a fan of the museum, I think I assumed that the tower held some long lost secret artifacts. When the Museum announced that tours would begin on January 1, 2015, I was excited to see what I had missed. Unfortunately, there were other people in the city who felt the same way I did, and for the first four months the tower was open for tours, I was not able to get tickets; but finally, over Memorial Day weekend, I was able to get tickets. The day of my tour dawned cloudy and rainy, but even the damp weather could not put a damper on my enthusiasm for the tower tour. Despite the weather, the tour did not disappoint. My guide was knowledgeable about the history of the building, the park, and the city, and provided me with more facts than I could remember – or recount here about all of these things and more.
In terms of being inside the tower, while there were no long-lost artifacts, there was a fresh, modern staircase, partially funded by private donors, and an interesting perspective looking from the inside out of the tower. While much is made of the 125 step ascent to the viewing platform by the Museum, in my opinion, the steps were not a challenge (a view that was shared by my tour group). While it is worth noting that there are that many steps, and there is no elevator, it appears to me that people of moderate levels of fitness would be able to ascend the tower easily, especially given the timeframe provided by the museum. Finally, I would be remiss if I did not talk about the views from the observation platform. Even though I did not have the best weather (as one can see from the photos), it was still amazing to see the three hundred and sixty degree views of the city, the coast, and the county that the tower provided, and it made me feel a little bit like a bird. The museum touts the tower's viewing range as twenty-three miles on a clear day, and based on what I saw on a cloudy day, I would say that is entirely accurate. The only downside I found to the tour was length of time on the viewing platform – I would have preferred to go and come as I wanted – but, given that the time constraints also limited the amount of people on the platform to a small amount, I found the constraints reasonable.
Overall, I'd say that the California Tower Tour is the best new tourist attraction in San Diego of 2015; and will be so for many years to come, as it provides great views of the city, and a great experience. It is truly something that one could return to many times without seeing – or experiencing the same thing, and provides great insight and perspective into San Diego's modern history.
Tips. As I mentioned above, the tour is quite popular, so potential visitors should book tickets in advance in order to ensure that they will be able to climb the tower. Also, while San Diego generally has great weather, in order to avoid cloudy days, visitors would want to visit the tower from mid-June through mid-April.

Voluntary negotiations may lead to some time > slots of permission. Otherwise, we get "regulated" off the band. Some more information from another Amateur -- he phrased it all better than I can: "First of all, let me point you to the FCC document (47 CFR 2.106 Footnote US7) that spells out the 50 watt limit and the map showing the areas affected: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/maps/us7/ This particular map shows areas that are under this particular ruling. Not all of these are PAVE-PAWS sites. There are three major PAVE-PAWS sites in the US. One at Cape Cod at Otis AFB, One at Beale AFB in California and one in Alaska. They are a part of the ITW/AA or Integrated Attack Warning/ Attack Assessment system that is controlled by NORAD at CMC ( Cheyenne Mtn.) now to be moved to Schreiver AFB. These other areas on the map may or may not be part of the ITW/AA system described here but have some strategic gear that may have the potential for UHF radio interference." My comments: The map is interesting. For example, the ENTIRE state of Arizona is under this rule. Did you Arizona hams out there know this? Same with Florida. Any repeaters higher than 50W in either place? Any hams using more than 50W to hit birds from either place? Sure. Proof positive that a reasonable solution can probably be found. The Amateur allocation in the UHF band is a Primary allocation of the US Military in the US, with the specific wording in the NTIA documentation stating the military is to "treat Amateurs as Primary". Since Amateurs are licensed by the FCC, the FCC has final say on what and where we can operate in these bands that are mixed-use. Right now, the politics are afoot... the AF, NTIA, and FCC are probably all having a ball discussing what the next move is, with ARRL right in the middle of it offering "technical assistance". > So now its use it AND lose it...can't win! > good luck to us? Could be. Maybe not. Quite a few "interested parties" involved on all sides. It will be interesting to see how professional and courteous all sides can be in the negotiations. Panic and conjecture don't really help anyone involved in the process, I'm sure. Locally, an agreeable solution to problems arising from a different military system (EPLRS) was found here in Colorado a number of years ago. The system was hammering the inputs to all of the high-mountain UHF repeaters in the area with pulse modulation type noise. (Generically, EPLRS is a spread-spectrum data system.) The folks in charge of the system talked with other reasonable folks, and the operational frequency characteristics of the system were modified to avoid the repeater inputs... so it wouldn't be "heard" as much... it was still in use and on-air, but didn't continue to be a daily problem for repeater owners/operators. Only through the anonymous and patient help of some volunteers in the right organizations did the problems get mitigated. Hopefully in this new scenario, the "right" people are once again quietly engaging in conversation/thought, and are sending appropriate feedback to the people making the decisions. Nate WY0X

In a small patch of Bamako, a few plots of land stand strong. Bamako 2009
In the southern corner of the Sahara, and on the fringe of the capital city Bamako, the fertile Magnambougou district offers an essential oasis. Along the banks of the river Niger, carefully organized plots of land crisscross broken houses and dirt roads. As urbanization of Mali's capital continues — a trend replicated across West Africa — the tranquil 'green lung' plays an increasingly positive role in cooling and feeding the sun-soaked city.
Independent growers farm greens and root vegetables on small plots of land with basic tools. This is perhaps an inefficient approach compared to industrial agriculture, yet Magnambougou farms drive the informal economy. Local vendors sell the produce at markets, while deliverymen make short trips between field and shop. It's a rare instance of small-scale growers providing a capital city with some degree of food independence.
Still, subsistence crops are diminishing under the weight of urbanization and population expansion. Planners and developers continue to prioritize residential zoning over arable land. To fight this, Malian farmers are forming collectives, backed by community funding. They say they must work creatively to make sure farms stay local, prices stay affordable for residents, and the city stays cool — all the while finding time to ensure their crops can flourish.

Did a little DIY a few weekends back!
We decided it was time to replace our sink and faucet
in the kitchen -- something we've wanted to do since
we first moved in.
Here's the old, rusty one. . .
My super-star husband took it out. We decided to replace it
with stainless. (I know -- it's hard to keep clean, but when it
is clean, it looks really nice.) While we liked the black porcelin,
it didn't match our counter tops, and we thought stainless
would look good with the LG appliances we plan to get.
(Hopefully soon!)
Out with the old.
No home project would be complete without a deviation from
the plan. One of the valves broke and water GUSHED out.
That wet vac we got from D's dad saved the day again!!
Four trips to Lowe's and seven hours later, David finished
what started off as a simple Sunday project. I so appreciate
all his hard work -- I love the finished product. The sinks
are deep and it's all fresh and new.

I'm sure that just by reading the title of this post, you most likely let out a groan in solidarity. Winter skin is the absolute worst. It's a fact. I live in Massachusetts, which means I get to deal with the joys of dry itchy skin for a good six months. Recently, I've developed a new nighttime routine with the hope of keeping winter skin at bay. With the help of Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus body wash, my new routine is working out perfectly.
Given that winter turns me into a hermit of sorts (I swear I take one step inside the door after work and all energy/motivation is lost), I decided to start showering at night instead of the morning. I've been a morning shower person my entire life, but I recently found myself really rushing to get out the door... which meant almost every day I was forgetting my wallet, laptop charger, or lunch.
I may be new to nighttime showering, but I'm loving it. It's become a part of my day that I really enjoy, instead of something that I have to do in order to go about my day. Part of the reason why I love it so much is because:
A.) I actually have time to exfoliate and shave
B.) I've switched to skincare products that help combat my dry winter skin. Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus body wash is made up of cleansers and moisturizers (shea butter!) which clean and hydrate my skin.
I lather up with either a puff or exfoliating gloves, and I swear I noticed a difference in my skin after the first use. Typically, my skin becomes dry and tight moments after I leave the shower. After using Olay for the first time I was surprised to find my skin feeling comfortable and soothed. I also want to note that the Manuka Honey and Lavender scents are to die for. Both are so relaxing and comforting after a day at work!
After showering I'll change into some cozy clothes and make a cup of tea to cap off my routine. Okay, let's keep it real: my routine isn't truly complete until I relax with some online browsing/shopping.
If you're looking for ways to combat dry skin, I hope you'll participate in Olay's Winter Skin Challenge. Try Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus for softer and more moisturized skin. This moisturizing body wash has changed my skin for the better during the cold winter months and I hope others will love it as much as I do!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Olay. The opinions and text are all mine. #ad

A look around the typical feed store shows a dizzying array of different horse feeds.
And of course, all of them are proclaiming to be the best for your horse!
So, to help clarify things, we're going to quickly run through the different types of feed that are available out there.
I encourage you to spend some time clicking on the various feed types to take a more in-depth look at them.
Senior Feeds
Senior feeds are designed with the senior in mind. They contain higher amounts of certain nutrients, and a highly digestible fiber source.
Complete Feeds
Complete feeds are designed to replace most, if not all, hay and other forage in a horse's diet. Due to this, they have high fiber contents, and are lower in nutrients. They must be fed at relatively high levels to provide a horse with the needed nutrients.
Pelleted Feeds
Pelleted feeds are simply feeds that have been made into pellets. They vary in quality and nutrition levels.
Sweet Feeds
Sweet feeds are feeds that have added sugar to make them more palatable to the horse. Usually the sugar is added in the form of molasses. The high sugar and starch content in these feeds can be the cause of behavioral issues and health problems.
Ration Balancers
Ration balancers (also sometimes called diet balancers) are nutrient dense feeds meant to be fed in small amounts. They are an ideal base to most feed programs.
Hopefully this quick look at the types of horse feed available has helped clear up some of the confusion at the feed store.

Two of our younger members Helen Gardner and Mike Hubber got engaged over Christmas 2015. We send them our best wishes for a happy and healthy future together.
Retirement of John MacAngus 2015
John was born in Balintore, Ross-Shire, Scotland. He came to England in 1961. Was married in 1967 and came to live in Kettering. After seeing an article in the Kettering Evening Telegraph about the Kettering Caledonian Society, he decided he would like to join. He became a member in 1981. And was very soon elected onto the committee he became president in 1989/90. And has been a long standing member of the committee for about 33 years. But he now feels it is time to retire and let some of the younger members and new blood take his place on the committee.
I'm sure the committee and all members of the society would like to join with me in thanking John for all the hours he has put in over the years to help make the society into what it is today.dit text

Recap: Wise Choices, Session 2 - Living in a Dangerous Environment
Text: Ephesians 5:15-17
Principle: We need God's wisdom to make it in this world.
- Remind the students why it is necessary to walk wisely in this world. Briefly review last week's lesson about where true wisdom comes from.
- Discuss the concept of walking wisely by avoiding temptation. We can't put ourselves in places or situations that are unwise.
- Share that we have to take what the Word of God says about walking with wisdom seriously. The world can be a dangerous place, and if we are not walking in God's wisdom, we are asking for trouble.
Read: Ephesians 5:15-17
Ephesians is a book that can help us learn how to walk wisely in this world.
Throughout this book, Paul writes about what we need to make wise decisions.
Paul challenges the Christians in Ephesus to live differently than the world does in light of the work Christ has done it their lives.
The principle here is illustrated in Jesus' parable about building a house on a foundation of rock instead of sand.
Tell your students that Paul means it when he says, "Do not be foolish."
Thought 1: Do not be foolish.
- Walking foolishly means constantly surrounding yourself with things that are not of God.
- Satan does not want God's children to experience abundant lives. Satan's goal is destroy our lives, but he disguises his destruction to make it look attractive to us.
- It's easier to be foolish than to be wise
Thought 2: Walking as wise people.
- It is important for us to be careful in our own walks.
- We can't walk in God's will and pursue foolishness at the same time.
- Wisdom is something we need to ask God for daily.


text: LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil futures slipped Thursday as traders sought insight on demand from mixed economic data. Crude oil for November delivery CLX22, -51.19% closed the seesaw session down 2 cents at $92.10 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. "A good deal of this is simple price chasing on very short-term time frame," said Citi analyst Tim Evans about Thursday's choppy action. In other developments, Goldman Sachs cut its 2013 projection of Brent crude oil prices to $110 a barrel, and TransCanada Corp. TRP, +0.43% said it will shut down its Keystone pipeline for three days following an anomaly with the pipeline.

Tomorrow, I'll be spending most of the day in transit, and it's unclear to me at this point how much blogging I'll be able to sneak in once I arrive at my ultimate destination. So, before I lose access to my computer, I wanted to put together a list of things that make me thankful.
I'm thankful that I have a loving family, even if we don't always see eye to eye on all things. In an unstable world, a stable nuclear family is one of life's great blessings.
I'm thankful that this same loving family, from youngest to oldest, enjoys good health. As to the oldest in my family (and we're talking octogenarians), I am reasonably certain that I will be able to enjoy their presence in my life for some time to come.
I'm thankful for the endless bounty that America offers: food, shelter, reasonable safety from the extreme threats of the world, economic opportunity (even in down times), and unparalleled freedom. I never take for granted the sheer dumb luck that saw me being born in late 20th century America, and not in some other place, at some other time.
I'm thankful for this blog, which provides an endless outlet for my verbal and political energy.
I'm thankful for my blog readers, who have become a very important community to me, and whose friendship I cherish more than any one of them can imagine.
I'm thankful that I really like my in-laws, since I'll be spending several days in their company. The fact that they're well-informed and, as I am, neocons, means that I'll have a lot of mental stimulation that should be reflected in my blog upon my return.
I'm thankful for Don Quixote's friendship. His entry into my life, and the fact that we ended up being friends, was something I never anticipated, and I am perpetually grateful. I'm also grateful that his wife is a generous and wonderful soul who recognizes that ours is a true platonic friendship, and makes the friendship even stronger by being a cheerful, intelligent and interesting participant in our lunches whenever she is available.
I'm thankful for martial arts, which makes me feel strong and gives me a learning curve when so much else in my life has flat-lined. (I'll never really figure out how to be "the perfect" mother, I know how to be a lawyer, and there's only so good you can get at folding laundry.) Who knew I'd love tackling people and taking them down?
I'm thankful that, no matter how bitter this last election was (and it was very bitter), we are still looking forward to a peaceful handover of power in January 2009. Look back on world history and you will appreciate what an extraordinary accomplishment that his. I wish President Obama a safe and short presidency, that sees him forced to govern to the center, to the great disappointment of his more fervent admirers.
So, if you don't hear from me again before Thursday — Happy Thanksgiving!

When I studied philosophy, authenticity was an important concept to me. In existentialism, authenticity is the degree to which one remains true to oneself, despite external pressures. It's about choosing to follow your own conscious self rather than give way to pressures of others and of our material world.
When I first started writing as a journalist, and later blogging, authenticity was a notion I leaned on again. I wouldn't write about a company just because they sent me free stuff. I would tell those stories I really wanted to tell, even if they weren't always going to be the most popular, even - in the case of my blog - if they were only meaningful for me.
The problem with putting authenticity on a computer screen, though, is that people begin to reduce it to the supporting visuals. And then it becomes a buzzword for that certain kind of look. The look of distressed tables and rustic meals, for example. Of patina 'til kingdom come, whether it's beards or boats, blankets or peeling paint, candle wax or the slow decay of roses. These things can, of course, be authentic. But authenticity is really about intention not manifestation. A luxe pad, even a distastefully blingerific pad, can be as authentic to its owner as a humble, rustic or sparse one.
We make a significant mistake when we simply equate a certain look alone with authenticity, or when we think that authenticity is a quality that can be managed or instilled top-down, like an outfit planned or decor scheme, rather than fostered bottom-up in a very personal way.
I understand why we're a generation craving the uber-tactile: We sit at screens for hours every day so those images that most conjure a life with deep seams and layered storytelling call to us. I too have got lost in blogs that give me a taste of something that seems more sensual than my monitor or cubicle walls. And I also think the aesthetic of our moment is a beautiful one — I like slab dining tables and wabi-sabi dinnerware as much as the next person.
But there's a tipping point. A moment when it becomes coiffed and constructed in a manner that betrays and torments its original, humble appeal. And it's not the coiffing and construction alone that makes it dishonest. It's the dissonance between the down-to-earthness portrayed and the time, money, effort that went into creating it. As Felicia said in her Kinfolk cookbook review, "They drive miles for mussels and set a formidable table in their outdoor barns. Theirs is a life of cultivated beauty that carries its own disquiet, giving the illusion of simplicity when it's nothing more than understated affluence and luxury" (See more from Felicia here).
Authenticity is mostly about being honest with yourself and that can't be judged by an aesthetic alone. What you naturally do for yourself (I would add, "by yourself") is probably the most authentic "you". Authenticity can be captured by a photograph taken in a certain moment, but it can't be constructed for a photograph. Still, I wince a little when people get bitchy about photographs — vitriol about twine and Mason jars is a red herring. It's not the aesthetic that's the problem but what that aesthetic purports to be, especially when it isn't natural at all, but over-contemplated and complicated, convoluted to extremes.
Personally, I don't have a vendetta against boys with beards or Mason jars or twine or canoes. I easily pass over things that aren't to my taste without fuss. But I do want objects and events in my world to arise in a certain way. Not planned painstakingly and stripped of spontaneous connections. Not sponsored by West Elm, Terrain, Anthropologie or any of those usual suspects. But simply occurring in the world when a certain moment arises. And being felt deeply rather than method-acted through. Not a scene to be set and stepped into and self-congratulated on. But a moment of spontaneous synchronicity that gives rise to magical connections with others or is simply enjoyed for oneself.
I've been wondering a lot lately why authenticity has been confused with an aesthetic. And if the perpetrators even think about the language they're using, the dissonance they're creating, or if they're just capitalizing on this economic moment, packaging a product with a deep and visceral need (a spiritual one, even).
I occasionally worry that we desire some conveniently canned version of authenticity more than we're willing to step back and be critical and build it for ourselves. That we let marketing people co-opt the concept and apply it to PR stints and celebrity endorsements and other greedy voices. That we invest in the superficial look we associate with our need instead of simply following our own conscious selves and blocking out the noise and pressure of this material world.
Authenticity used to be a word I reached for, but now it makes me recoil. It has become the language of business transactions, profitable relationships, merchandising. It's become much more of visual and tactile concept, than a visceral, individual or ethical one. But being authentic really begins in a much more subjective place, a place deeper down - that doesn't throw shapes, but just does what feels right.

Nikon Suffers Huge Losses and Cancels Cameras, Crashing Stock
Venerable still camera manufacturer Nikon, which has failed to gain traction in the motion market, has pulled back its product offerings and laid off staff.
"Are you Nikon or Canon?" It was a long-time question among photographers. Most serious photographers had a commitment in some form to at least one or the other brand, which was a difficult hurdle for latecomers like Sony moving into the market.
Filmmakers, however, have mostly avoided Nikon, while buying Canon in droves (we have more than twice as many articles tagged "Canon" than "Nikon," for instance), with filmmakers gravitating towards either the 5D/7D line or the newer C line. Of course, Canon is usually cross-shopped against offerings from Sony or Panasonic, but Nikon failed to occupy much space in the motion market.
After releasing a "notice of extraordinary loss" yesterday indicating that the company had hemorrhaged roughly $260 million in the last three quarters of 2016, Nikon announced the cancellation of the DL camera series. The announcement triggered a one-day stock drop of 14.6%, which cost the company around $1 billion in market capitalization. To be fair to the camera department, most of last year's reported losses were related to restructuring in the semiconductor lithography business, but the effects will certainly be felt in the cinema world.
This ultimately means less competition and fewer choices for filmmakers.
This comes in addition to the announcement last November that Nikon would cut more than 1,000 jobs through early retirement.
Most immediate is the loss of the DL line, which was only announced last February and was intended to be a competitor to the RX100, with internal 4K recording and a choice of three different integrated lenses, depending on the model you chose. While professional filmmakers tend to prefer interchangeable lenses, integrated lenses can be a great choice for the beginner, both in terms of keeping overall package price down and offering a good zoom range for the money. In addition, the line offered other attractive features, like 1200fps slow motion, clean HDMI out for external recorder, and a price under $1,000. Those features would have made it a great C camera on a multi-camera shoot. Alas, now the camera will never be released.
To recover from the losses, Nikon is apparently going to refocus its camera business more directly on profits and worry less about revenue. This is great from a business perspective, although it's possible Nikon will focus on its core business (mid-to-high-end still photography) and pull back from integrating video features (Hasselblad and Leica, which dominate the high end, are notoriously slow with video features, releasing cameras in 2016 with only HD video mode).
This ultimately means less competition and fewer choices for filmmakers.

Bit shocking, though this article, plus the recent BM camera thread does imply that "conservative Canon" do quietly know what they are doing, despite the detractors. By contrast, Canon are announcing new products tonight (http://www.canonrumors.com/this-is-what-canon-is-announcing-tonight/), and it is rumoured a full frame 4K mirrorless is coming later in the year, in addition to C100 Mk3.
Blackmagic quality control issues, Digital Bolex dead, Axiom stillborn, and Craft on life support, what are the real choices left now ?
February 14, 2017 at 6:12PM, Edited February 14, 6:14PM
Panasonic and Sony for starters. They are doing everything right by targeting lower budget but serious in their craft filmmakers.
February 14, 2017 at 6:55PM
Cant Agree with you on Blackmagic QC... especially when you paint it with that broad brush. that mostly Unfair. your opinion but not facts.
February 15, 2017 at 2:37AM
All good responses here.
Wentworth, I was basing the BM comment on a recent NoFilmSchool thread and others, but if you know different, that is good with me. I had completely forgotten about Kinefinity, but there seem too few users/reviews (at least in the West). Sony and Fuji was mentioned, but aren't there overheating issues with continuous filming ?
It seems as if GH5 is the disruptive one at the moment. Tempting, but I would love to see that Canon 4K mirrorless.
February 15, 2017 at 7:02AM, Edited February 15, 7:04AM
After starting out with Canon then moving on to Sony > Blackmagic > Samsung, I'm finally getting a RED Epic-W and not turning back! :D
February 15, 2017 at 11:42AM
DL was a bad idea from the get go. Of course this is my personal view.
They should've looked backed on Nikon Coolpix A(one of the smallest APS-C compact camera besides Ricoh GR) before they announced this in the first place.
Coolpix A was a great camera, great marketing also but they screwed up on price. They priced the camera at $1K, I bought mine for $300 couple of years ago. Thing is a beast, and I've used fuji X100 series, trust me image does not compare and it's actually pocketable.
I love Nikon, I started with Nikon film and on to their digital, have Canon because my work provides it and bought Panasonic and Sony for personal video projects.
They have so much potential but they are too busy patening lot of technology so that no one could make that product.
Main example is they patent Nikon F series digital back way way back, everybody knew they were doing this so no one could make digital back for their Nikon F series, not to come out with one. I personally think this could've been a different market compare to their DSLR market which would've had no effect on them negatively. Just another vent from a Nikon user.
Open your eyes Nikon. Been sleeping for a long time.

Leica did release the SL with 4K, L-log and 4:2:2 output in November 2015 which makes decent images. Regardless, they are still far behind because their system is highly impractical for video.
February 14, 2017 at 7:43PM, Edited February 14, 7:43PM
Nikon had a GREAT video capable DSLR in the D800 and the follow on D810. Nikon chose to not support it just as it was gaining traction. We used the D800 on Dexter (us and wilfred were the first two shows to use them) and loved having a small body with good glass that we could use as a gopro and with the color profile that Technicolor built it was easy to grade it so we could cut it with the Alexa main camera footage.
It's sad they built a helluva good HD camera
February 14, 2017 at 11:17PM, Edited February 14, 11:17PM
WOW. 1200 fps for under $1000. Yep. Killer c-camera. No wonder they couldn't get the cameras produced... (super sarcasm)
February 15, 2017 at 12:56AM
I'm sure that's a typo. I'm fairly certain it's meant to read "120fps". 1200fps is Phantom range of fps.
February 15, 2017 at 5:54PM
Hate hearing this. Bought my first Nikon in 1978. Have a drawer full of Nikon bodies and a large set of Nikkors I use on my video camera today. Nikon dropped the ball early on in the digital revolution and Canon ran with it. No choice but to switch over like most every other photographer I know but, they were my first love.
Nikon, if you are listening, you are perfectly poised to build the greatest digital cinema camera ever made... a non-dslr form-factor black box with a super 35 (or larger) sensor. Put a fan in it and make it record internal 4K 10bit, ProRes422. $5000. Throw in a clean HDMI and SDI out for an external raw recorder, some slo-mo and, boom!, we could all call it a day.
Why not? No camera line that needs protecting like Canon. What do you have to lose?
February 15, 2017 at 9:27AM, Edited February 15, 9:29AM
Nikon has had many chances to overtake the motion image market, since they don't have a pro video line like Sony or Canon do. Offering what customers want in one camera, instead of spreading development over their full line, is a stronger model since they would decrease development costs and focus on one great product, lowering manufacturing costs. Everyone knows what are the hot specs, it's just a matter of giving people what they want; for some reason few companies actually try to do this successfully.

"Flambards" is my favourite book of the series. It is the first one of what was originally a trilogy before the arrival of "Flambards Divided".
It covers the first five episodes of the television series, which sees Christina arrive at Flambards. She discovers a divided house where Uncle Russell and his eldest son Mark are obsessed by horses and hunting, and younger son William, who has just broken his leg as the story opens, prefers the new flying machines.
Christina fits in well, I think, with the fabric of the house, learning to ride and loving hunting whilst also attempting to learn about Will's passion - flying.
The conflicts between Mark, William and Uncle Russell mark this out as the finest book of the series, and also this is reflected in the televised version. Episodes 1 to 5 were my favourite in the whole series.

Tools to grow your "brain value"
Today, I have put together a small list of tools and fun apps, so you can bring more fun, knowledge and healthy vibes into your week. I personally tested and play with these tools on a permanent basis. I would no recommend something that I don't believe will bring a great value to your life.
Here we go.
For your body:
- Freeletics or Runtastic Results - short and intense workouts without any equipment or need for a gym.
- Kitchen Stories - fun and easy way to cook new meals. Quick fact - more than 70% of how you look and feel (physically) depends on what you eat, not your workout routine.
- Fitbit - all in one fitness data app. The app makes sense if you buy a fitbit fitness tracker, preferably with a heart rate monitor.
- Runtastic - if running is your favorite exercise.
For your brain:
- Caml or Headspace - mindful meditation in the morning or when you feel the need to shut the F* up.
- Elevate - brain exercises to improve your memory, thinking speed, speaking errors etc
- Kindle - the best way to read books, besides print.
- Genius - I am using it to consume poetry, but it's created for music discovery and lyrics.
- Quora - get your answers.
- Wikipedia - when bored click on "random article" feature and learn something new.
- Medium - a great way to discover stories and interesting people.
- UrbanDictionary - because culture is so diverse, double check your writing.
- Evernote - your external brain. Remember everything.
For your performance at work:
- Momentum - get one important thing done. Every day.
- Pomodoro - make your tasks look like tasty, small and fun tomatoes
- Trello - drag to the right, or left.
- Slack - get rid of emails, within your team.
- Google Apps - because Google.
- Twitter - unlike Facebook, you can actually learn something or find useful content.
Tip: This may sounds strange from a minimalistic lifestyle / lean budget person but I suggest to always get the premium (paid version) for the apps you like. You get so much more value and quality content than trying to save those 3-5 euros a month for your beer. Trust me, your health and brain deserves a premium attitude.
Now, I am curious to read what are your favorite apps and techniques to make your day better, so please leave a comment below.

Start your own classroom news channel with Newsmaker/
First off as I don't usually promote paid software unless it is really worth spending money let me say that Newsmaker is not free.
What is it? Newsmaker is a new program I purchased for our school in 2010 as we have been exploring setting up our own classroom radio and television stations and it is really a brilliant software package that we are using on an almost daily basis of late to achieve this goal.
Newsmaker compiles the process of scripting, teleprompting and recording your literacy session into a full blown video news story all within the one program with ease.
If you are using a laptop or desktop with a webcam and microphone then you are good to go straight away. You can either import text or write it within the program and then Newsmaker will set up a Teleprompter for you to read as it records you doing this.
My only complaint is that Newsmaker soes not offer built in chroma - keying for Green Screen users or the ability to add titles or credits.
You can do all of this yourself of course with other video editing packages after you have finished with newsmaker but it could be achieved all within the one program.
How can I use this in the classroom? Newsmaker could be used in nearly any form of literacy and if you are stuck for ideas elsewhere there are lesson plans located on the newsmaker site itself.
All in all Newsmaker has been a real winner with students and staff and you can download a 30 day trial here. Pricing will vary depending on location but it was definitely a cheaper option in comparison to some other educational packages out there.

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." Mahatma Gandhi
On 1 February of this year Stefan Schwarzkopf, Design Director at Inscape Publico, and I boarded Etihad flight 6408 bound for Abu Dhabi. From Abu Dhabi we flew east to Delhi where we met up with Eric Gronning, an Inscape Publico board member. The three of us then traveled together for the final leg of the journey that would land us in Varanasi on the Ganges River.
We arrived in Varanasi to begin work on the Varanasi Silk Facility. Collaborating with Nest, a nonprofit committed to the social and economic advancement of global artisans and homeworkers through supply chain transparency, sustainable business development, and widespread industry advocacy, the silk weaving facility will help numerous Varanasi artisans to reclaim their livelihoods through their own means by providing them the fair market access they need to compete with increasing cheap labor and automated silk production. The art of hand-loom weaving is one that is passed on through generations and must be learned from the age of childhood. Bringing the weavers together physically will create a heightened sense of community and environment of solidarity. Allowing for instant communication, the facility will foster greater cooperation amongst the weavers to solve problems and share experiences. Our goal is to offer a beautiful, welcoming, and inspiring work environment where the weavers will not only feel pride in themselves and their work, but also feel proud to pass their amazing skills on to their children.
Inscape Publico will be hosting an event to share our work on the Varanasi Silk Weaving Facility and raise money to support our efforts. Spartan Surfaces will be our host for the evening and Maven Women, a DC base fashion line that creates sustainable styles for women and educates and advocates to move the needle in the global fashion industry, will be our partner organization for this campaign. We have also joined forces with The Georgetown Professional Society for this event and look forward to forging a long term relationship with their members.
With appreciation,

More into the queue
A look at what is probably coming up in the new few episodes of 5 Minutes of Rum. A shout-out to Erik from Spyrate Radio for the bottle of Sugar House Distillery gold rum and to Syrus from Paper Plane in San Jose for the Santeria rum from Rational Spirits. I've been sitting on these bottles for too long, but I have some ideas I'm working on for each.
Oh and also Pusser's because sometimes you just need to kill some pain.

Game Dev Tycoon isn't the type of game I'd normally go near. After enjoying, then quickly getting annoyed with both Theme Park and Theme Hospital I've just never bothered with business sims again. This sort of popped up out of nowhere, and as my plate was relatively empty I figured it was worth a shot.
And am I glad I did. I said in the review, this needs a sequel. That is REALLY true. I've since gone back to it - always a high sign of quality if the reviewer goes back - and those problems are more apparent, though it has a slight rogue-like element in you get to keep your knowledge of the audience which is pretty cool.

Robert Martinez (Northern Arapaho) has a vision for what a Cultural Capital Fellowship will do for his Native community on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, and it's about spreading the word.
"There are many people here who are artists, but it's not known that they're professional and you can make a living," said Martinez, who has been an artist for two decades.
It's what moved Martinez to found the Northern Arapaho Artist's Society (NAAS) in 2012, which helps combat the challenges Native artists face on his reservation. The goal of the society is to promote Arapaho artists and create opportunities for them to showcase their work.
That movement will be furthered by a 2015 First Peoples Fund Cultural Capital Fellowship awarded to Martinez this year.
Since 2012, the NAAS has secured and scheduled 10 professional art shows. Helping other artists, particularly young people, is at the heart of the society and what Martinez hopes to accomplish with the grant. The grant will be used to assist the society members to travel to local schools and communities to host workshops and information sessions to guide artists in how to expand or start their careers. The NAAS artists will also provide individual demonstrations on Arapaho art technique and talk to students about mentorship activities and the growing support for emerging artists in the area.
It's a different path than what Martinez, who was previously a First Peoples Fund Artist in Business Leadership Fellow and is currently an artist success coach through First Peoples Fund's Native Artist Professional Development Training Program, experienced as he established his art career.
"I had to fight my way through and figure it out on my own," he said. "There's not a lot of help for professional artists, especially here."
Martinez has been teaching and mentoring youth on the reservation for more than 15 years. He has worked as a Title IV Indian education coordinator, working with high school students to help them focus on their education and graduate. He also served as the dean of students for the Fremont County School District, working with at-risk youth.
Martinez has started the presentations in the local community and plans to visit the local college and high school next month. His continuing connection with the schools is encouraging, he said.
"The schools are very willing to have us speak," he added.
Martinez hopes that the grant will jump start art as an economic engine on the Wind River Reservation and encourage the continuity of the Northern Arapaho culture.
"We have good Arapaho artists in the area and we want the opportunity to showcase their art," he said.
The support for First Peoples Fund has been invaluable. "It's very important," he said. "Without First Peoples Fund and this grant, I wouldn't be as far in my career as I am now."

We recently enjoyed a great day with our APS Positive Choice girls' teams for a fun round robin at Dunbar Elementary. On a beautiful soccer day, we had over 100 girls playing soccer from MA Jones Elementary, Towns Elementary, Scott Elementary, Westside Atlanta Charter School and of course, Dunbar Elementary. This day brought together, in the name of soccer, schools from different neighborhoods, such as: the West End, Mozely Park, and Northwest neighborhoods.
As the season came to a close, there was a special energy in the air. All of the girls were excited to play, and were elated with the opportunity to measure up against teams they had not faced in the regular season.

Cornwall U18 Players Make Final South West Squad

Three players from this season's Cornwall U18 squad have made the final cut to be part of the 23-man South West Division U18 squad for 2018. The boys are part of a succesful Cornwall U18 squad that lost only one fixture this season which was against an Exeter Chiefs Outreach U19 squad. At a county level they had victories against Devon, Oxfordshire and Somerset.
This year saw four Cornwall players selected to attend the South West Final Assessment Day (FAD) which was held at Hartpury College on 21st Jan. The FAD saw 37 players selected from the eight counties that make up the England Counties SW Division (Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset & Wilts, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Somerset). The fourth player selected for the FAD was Josh Mares (Newquay RFC) who unfortunatley suffered a hamstring injury very early in the assessment day and didn't make the cut from 37 to 25.
The 25-man SW U18 squad then played a fixture against a strong well organised Gloucester Rugby U17 Academy. The SW lost narrowly to the premiership academy side but it gave the divisional players an insight to the level required to play at this level.
The squad was then cut from 25 to 23 and this makes up the final squad that will represent the SW in the divisional weekend which is being held at Stourbridge over the weekend of 23rd - 25th Feb. Here the players will be competeing against players from all over the country, with the ultimate aim of being selected to represent England Counties at U18 level.
The CRFU U17 & U18 group management hope to make it two years in succession that a player from the squad has pulled on a "red rose" shirt for their country after St Ives player Jake Clemson represented his country last season.
'All three boys played really well at the final selection day and represented the County with Pride' said Dave Saunter Chairman of Youth and Education for CRFU, adding ' the boys follow in a long line of successful players who have come through this system for Cornwall. Their school and club coaches should be very proud of their involvement in the boys' development.'
At the time of writing Saunter was also really pleased to announce the Coaching team for the U17s/18's programme for the next 12 months. Paul Duval is remaining in place as Team Manager and the rest of the coaching team Head Coach Andy Hawkin, Forwards coach Mark Pullen and backs coach Phil Stansfield are all keen to continue.
'This is great news for the county as the guys really know the system and how to prepare the players for this route.'
Finally, Keith Lean and Saunter will continue in their positions as South West Selectors.
From all involved in Cornish rugby, we wish the boys all the luck and would like to congratulate all four players who made it through to the FAD.

Glasses e-tailer MyOptique sees bright future after acquisitions
Consumers are becoming increasingly willing to buy their glasses online, according to the CEO of glasses e-tailer MyOptique Group, which has today announced two major European acquisitions.
CEO Kevin Cornils said shoppers are purchasing optical products more frequently than historically has been achieved on the high street, in the wake of agreeing deals to take over German eyewear business 4Care and UK-based premium online eyewear company Eyewearbrands.
"It is our goal to be number one or two in each of the leading European markets, and with these acquisitions we've done that across the UK, German and Scandinavian markets where the online segment is most developed," Cornils explained.
4Care sells prescription glasses, contact lenses and sunglasses through its website Lensbest.de, its wholesale operation Acumed and popular brands Lennox Eyewear and Lenscare, while the Eyewearbrands offers more than 75 designer labels for men and women, including Dior, Oliver Peoples and Miu Miu, attracting in excess of four million unique visitors to its website per year.
By taking on these new businesses, MyOptique says it is on track to deliver sales across Europe of €100 million (£71 million) this year, serving over three million eyewear customers online in the process.
"4Care is a fantastic fit for MyOptique Group with our shared focus on innovation, passion for outstanding customer service and their strong management team," explained Cornils.
"We're excited to have [joint managing directors of 4Care] Bernd [Behrens] and Marco [Siegmund] join our executive team and help lead our continued European expansion into Germany and beyond. At the same time the acquisition of Eyewearbrands will substantially increase our premium designer offering in a fast-growing market segment."
The new acquisitions join Glasses Direct, Sunglasses Shop, LensOn, MyOptique and Netzoptiker as part of MyOptique Group's retail brand portfolio. The latest deals were financed by the group's existing investors who were joined in this round totalling €28 million by Harbert European Growth Capital and Amery Capital.

Wedding Day Bridal Party
Choosing who is going to be in your bridal party can get a little tricky. You may ask yourself if you should ask your sibling, your fiancé's sibling, that childhood friend you maybe talk to once a year, but who should you really be asking? Who is going to walk down that isle and stand by your side on the biggest day of your life!?
The real answer is, whoever you FEEL should! However, when having to make a decision between a few individuals, we want to help guide you into a final decision!
If you are contemplating between asking your brother or sister to be in your bridal party, or your fiancé's sibling, just remember that family is family. Your family will always be there for you no matter what, and your fiancé's family will now become yours! To some this might mean that asking them to be in your bridal party is important because you want them to be a part of your special day. For others this simply could mean that your siblings will understand, and maybe they can be a part of the wedding another way!
As for friends, sometimes that can be even harder to decide! When choosing which friends should be in your party, look at the bigger picture, it may help you! Consider the size of your party, or how many people you can realistically have in your bridal party. Sometimes you may not be able to ask every single one of your really good friends. Set realistic expectations. Or maybe you have a male friend you want in your bridal party, as your "Man of Honor". It is ok! Who cares if you mix up your party, as long as those are the people whom you are the closest to and will be for years to come.
Who ever you choose to be a part of your special day, just remember that these memories will last a lifetime. The people you choose should also last for years to come, and be a part of your life. Do not feel obligated to ask somebody because they asked you, do what is best for your day and your purposes. Either way, they will be in attendance, and will be supportive. Making these kind of decisions can always be difficult, but at Perfect The Event we can assist you! Contact us to see how!

Trophy Rooms
A trophy room is a personal place. It's a visible expression of its owner: a picture book of their exploits, adventures, and, perhaps most of all, that special place of refuge where one can spend time reflecting on the good things in life. It is both a display of one's passions and an artful indoor presentation of an outdoor lifestyle.
Julian and Sons offer all-inclusive consulting services to design, coordinate, and construct all aspects of the trophy room. This includes framing, electrical, lighting, mechanical, and more. We add the finishing touch by working with taxidermists, painters, and sculptors to create displays that make each room a unique reflection of its owner's tastes and interests. The result is a room that functions as a personal haven and a work of art.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like additional information or portfolio samples of our work.
