"The word boredom did not enter the language until the eighteenth century*. No one knows its etymology. One guess is that bore may derive from the French verb bourrer, to stuff.
Question: Why was there no such word before the eighteenth century?...
"Is it because the self first had the means of understanding itself through myth, albeit incorrectly, later understood itself through religion as a creature of God, and now has the means of understanding the Cosmos through positive science but not itself because the self cannot be grasped by positive science, and that therefore the self can perceive itself only as a ghost in the machine? How else can a ghost feel otherwise toward a machine than bored?"
(Walker Percy, Lost In the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book)

I love this bookshop. You can spend as long as you like there. Chairs upstairs if you want to sit down and the cafe is good. Food limited but cakes are excellent. Reasonably priced - thank goodness Costa is no longer there.
The shop is rather tight to get around, especially with a wheelchair or pushchair. They do stock a wide range of books but sometimes it is not easy to track down a particular book, or indeed a member of staff to help. The coffee shop is great with a wide variety of drinks.

Great book shop. Unending selection and full of surprise finds. For shop fronts it's one of my favourites! I really wonder where the missing letters have gone though.....
You have to check out this lovely and dirt cheap bookstore. Run by the hardworking and inimitable Tim Barton. Only beef I have is the no chairs to sit on issue at poetry events.....😌

This bookshop, bindery and stationary shop is a treasure in Hastings; like a miniature literary Liberty store, tucked away down a backstreet that makes it feel slightly magical to discover. A treat for all those who love beautiful books and things related. Stylish, friendly, and impossible to visit without buying something.
A wonderful place to visit, home to beautifully bound books, fine paper and cards. Neal restored one of my old books with care and consideration

20 July (Part 2) - Chopping and changing
you plant a load of trees in June in time for the council's
Civic Parade the chances are they will struggle to survive and leafless trees
might not impress Boris Johnson when our own glorious leader shows him around town
in a few weeks time.
So a company called Glendale Civic Trees has been taking out the old ones and hoping to nurse them back to health, and replacing them with lush new greenery. Money no object.

You're a homeowner and determined your home's roof needs fixing or needs to be improved with a replacement roof. You're all set to get moving. What's the optimal way to get a high quality roofer who will accomplish a good job? What could you look for in a roof contractor or contractor to obtain this work? Mead
When homeowners choose to repair a roof or replace that roof with asphalt during the cold winter months, they're often plagued by worries that their family will freeze before the job is completed. In the same vein, those starting a roofing job in the sweltering summer months worry that they'll be facing heat stroke. These concerns are perfectly normal and common among many homeowners looking for roofing fixes or roof replacement contractors.
MeadWhen hiring professional roofers you should confirm that they are able to match colors, style and material with adjoining homes. To prepare you to better evaluate the recommendation of your new roofer, use this guide and familiarize yourself with the many choices you have. But prior to your trip to the building supply center or the roofing supply, you need to carefully observe the roofing materials on the house you are trying to match. Later when you ask your roofing contractor to match the next door neighbor's roof as closely as possible, you can supply him with the results of your research.Visual InspectionThere are no rules, but it makes sense to start by observing the roof you need to match, the reference roof. Clearly your budget must be a key deciding factor, but take a close look at your reference roof and keep it in mind throughout the process. Note the color, type of shingles, and the texture. Roofing materials come in asphalt, wood, slate, metal, and other materials. Among asphalt shingles, there are plain shingles and those which are layered to simulate shake shingles. Knowing the nature of the material in addition to its color will help you narrow your choices more quickly. You might even want to snap a quick digital picture or two to take with you to the building supply center. When it Has to Match Another reason to check your neighbor's roof is to see if theirs needs to be replaced too. If you both work together you can try to negotiate an even better price with a roofer to do both roofs at the same time. Then you can use the same brand, style and color of shingles on both roofs. Talk about making your homes look more uniform and cohesive. But if you will be installing a new roof but your neighbor is not, you can still choose shingles that are similar in color and appearance to his. You can even ask your neighbor if he has records of the brand and color he used. Be sure to notice the condition of the reference roof. If the reference roof is old, the shingles are probably worn and the color faded from the sun and rain. In that case, it is best to chose shade slightly darker than the reference roof. That way when your neighbor later decides to replace his roof, the colors will be a be a better match to yours.When to Consider a Contrasting Roof Maybe you have always hated the color of your neighbor's roof and now that you are replacing your own, there is no way that you want to coordinate. In times like these, it is important to remember that even though your home is a twin, it is a unique house that can be decorated in any manner you choose. Perhaps those multi-brown shingles that you love will clash horribly with your neighbor's Spanish red shingles. If you are okay with how the house will look after your shingles are installed, then feel free to proceed. Just remember that your next door neighbor has to live with the look of the house, as well. By following this simple guide, professional roofers will almost certainly be impressed with your knowledge of roofing materials and your ability to properly judge their recommendation. More importantly, by doing your research in advance, you will be prepared to make an informed decision and can be happier with your new roof for years to come.
Collecting Roof Repair EstimatesLet us define first what a roofer is. A roofer is a person who specializes in roofing construction, concentrating on the application of materials that water proof and weather proof buildings that supports the top structure of the building against wind, heavy rain, snow and other natural calamities. When you need to repair your roof, replace roof coverings or do some maintenance, you will hire a roofer. A competent roofer will provide you with sound advice on products, reasonable explanation of procedures, and, most important-solid results - no leaks, and a durable roof. The question is how will you find the right roofing constructor? Relax. It's not that hard. All you have to do is follow some easy steps that I will be telling but you should consider the time, money and your effort in finding a trustworthy roofer. Most likely, hiring a roofer is as simple as you know just like you are choosing things what to buy in a grocery store and I suggest that you should take the same care in choosing your roofing contractor as you would in a grocery store. Let us now begin our search. Word of mouth from friends and families is the best reference. You can check the past roofing jobs of your colleagues, neighbours and acquaintances and you can compare it. You can also search lots of roofing contractor's lists in the yellow pages, newspapers and building supply store. Gathering more than 3 contractors is great. Remember, don't just trust one contractor. As much as possible gather as many as you can for your comparison. Since you already gathered enough lists, you will then visit their office and not just talk them by phone. Talking with them in person is a lot better. Whether you are talking with the salesman or the owner, Interview them and ask those you're impressed with to bid on your job.When meeting with your roofing contractor, Of course you must ask and take into consideration, the company's integrity, quality workmanship, years in business and overall, good feeling. Aside from that, you must also consider roofer's state license, roofer's insurance, warranty, estimates and their bids. Most contractors' warranty is within one year only. Make sure you do understand and keep a copy for your own. About contractor's workmanship, errors usually are found within the first year, probably the first good storm. The reason this question is important and most roofing contractors will warranty the workmanship, and the manufacture will warranty the product as long as it is installed correctly. You should also do some research how a contractor handles problems that involved complaints from the customers. Since contractors often meet unreliable homeowners, it's in your best interest to conduct your interviews in a manner that shows you're serious and can pay for their work. If you feel confident that the contractor is truly interested in your project, ask for the company's vital statistics-specific business information which will help you make your final decision. Choosing the most qualified roofer will allow you to enjoy your new roof even more.

Governor Meeting 11-15-16
Author Dezerai, Governor of Moonglow
I'm late. I'm Late for a very important date!!! The meeting was already in progress when Dezerai arrived in the meeting room of Castle Blackthorn.
Those presented when she arrived were, HRM King Blackthorn, Governor Lavendar, Baroness of Vesper, Jaafe [DKA], Lord Clym of Clough [KHV] and Excalibird the parrot.
Excalibird is HRM Secretary and keeps the minutes for the meeting. Since Dezerai had arrived late she tried to slip Excalibird a cracker for details she had missed, but he was to loyalty to his boss to betray that trust.
As she moved to her seat she over hears HRM say;
King Blackthorn: Sources close to Tomas told me they have seen four creatures climb out of an alchemical gateway
King Blackthorn: Greetings Dezerai
Dezerai: Greeting sire
King Blackthorn: Thank you for making this meeting with the schedule change
Dezerai: Cinderella will be late she is in Felucca
King Blackthorn: *nods*
King Blackthorn: I've been discussing recent news regarding Tomas the alchemist
Dezerai: oh?
King Blackthorn: He has been working against us to create a gateway. I've studied this alchemical ritual before, but never has it been successfully completed
Dezerai: sounds dangerous
King Blackthorn: four creatures spawn from the elemental byproduct needed to create the rift. They are at large and have been sighted
Dezerai: *sigh*
King Blackthorn: With Tomas still alive, it is impossible to defeat these creatures, I'm afraid... we must deal with Tomas before he can do any more damage... He's a traitor, and he must be brought to justice!
Dezerai: *nods*
King Blackthorn: I believe he is hiding in Yew, as the forest is large where he can take cover... His old lab is in the forest
Dezerai: Shame Miri is not here, her people would be a god send to scout the area.
Lavendar: Aye, she would be a great help.
Clym of Clough: We should ought to find that scoundrel Tomas and string him up
King Blackthorn: The nature of these events has lead to the reinstatement of the royal guard
Dezerai: *looks back at Clym*
Dezerai: aye
King Blackthorn: As soon as I've appointed a new leader, we will have a strong army to fight back
Dezerai: My citizens will come at the call to arms milord
King Blackthorn: Until then, we will need to stay strong and be prepared...
Dezerai: *nods*
King Blackthorn: I know Tomas well... he is a powerful alchemist, but afraid of dragons. I suggest we find our best tamers to aid in the hunt for him, as dragons are our best shot.. at drawing him out of hiding.
Alright friends, this is sobering, so I'd like to discuss a more positive subject unseated governorship
Dezerai: There are many tamers that we can call upon but let not forget our mages, archers, warriors all
King Blackthorn: Ahh, yes...
Clym of Clough: Aye, us archers are ready at your beck and call
King Blackthorn: Dezerai, we need all the help we can get
Lavendar: Have you had applications for these seats, Your Highness?
King Blackthorn: Governor elections are close, but I would still like the seats filled
King Blackthorn: Indeed, Lavendar
Lavendar: I am pleased to hear this.
King Blackthorn: Lord Clym
King Blackthorn: You wrote me, did you not?
Clym of Clough: Yes Sire, I did
King Blackthorn: Please speak freely of your wishes
Clym of Clough: May one perhaps one of my citizens of longtime would like to speak
Jaafe: Good Evening, I am Jaafe, Citizen of Skara Brae and I wish to nominate and endorse the one here beside me, known as Lord Clym of Clough for the office of Governor of Skara Brae
King Blackthorn: *nods*
Dezerai: SECOND
King Blackthorn: As there is no opposition, is there any objection to the nomination
Dezerai: *smiles back at Lord Clym*
Lavendar: Nay
Dezerai: Ney
Lavendar: He will be a good governor
Dezerai: indeed
Clym of Clough: Thank thee all for the kind words
King Blackthorn: Motion granted. Lord Clym is hereby the governor of Skara Brae
Clym of Clough: Should I be given the office
Dezerai: *claps*
Clym of Clough: I will govern to the best of my ability for the good of the citizens of Skara and Sosaria
King Blackthorn: Lord Clym, travel with me after this meeting to your offices, and I'll officially appoint you
Dezerai: *claps*
Clym of Clough: I will be happy to do that Sire
King Blackthorn: Lady Cinderella...
Dezerai: is of course late
Lavendar: Did she apply?
King Blackthorn: She applied for governorship of Minoc
Lavendar: She would be very good.
Dezerai: indeed and she would be here but where she is now one cannot recall out
King Blackthorn: *nods*
King Blackthorn: Due to her location, it is understandable
Dezerai: she sent me word, evening now I am getting a message on the wind
King Blackthorn: She did send me a letter requesting governorship
Dezerai: aye she did
Lavendar: Your Highness
King Blackthorn: I can authenticate the letter with her seal
Lavendar: I just spoke with her
Dezerai: and she would be great
Lavendar: and she is planning to be here
Lavendar: but she is in a situation where she has to wait for a boat to take her out.
King Blackthorn: Would someone like to nominate her to governorship of Minoc
Lavendar: I do nominate Cinderella
Lavendar: I asked her if she would run
King Blackthorn: Greetings, Lord Van Horn
Dezerai: and I second it

Van Horn: Hello
Lavendar: in many ways.
Lavendar: She is very trustworthy
Dezerai: her message to me they are almost done
King Blackthorn: If there is no opposition, I will grant her governorship of Minoc
Dezerai: *claps*
King Blackthorn: *writes notes*
Clym of Clough: *claps*
King Blackthorn: Friends, though the room is a bit empty, we have a full court
King Blackthorn: Has anyone been in contact with Miri
Lavendar: Nay, not since last meeting.
Clym of Clough: yes, one in my guild has
Lavendar: She does not use the carrier pigeons that most of us keep. So, she is a bit harder to reach.
Clym of Clough: she has some pressing issues with her life and is moving I believe
King Blackthorn: Please let her know two things if you are in touch...
Lavendar: There is a means I may be able to communicate with her.
Clym of Clough: I will be happy to relay any message when I do see her again
King Blackthorn: I still need to appoint her to governorship of Yew
Lavendar: Aye.
Dezerai: *nods*
Lavendar: Your Highness, I have a question
King Blackthorn: And I was notified that during the battle defending Britain again Eric, she was slain
Lavendar: Miri was slain?
Clym of Clough: ?
King Blackthorn: ah yes... she was resurrected by a mage very quickly
Lavendar: Thank goodness.
King Blackthorn: But she lost some of her belongings
Lavendar: I believe I saw that.
Lavendar: Most unfortunate.
King Blackthorn: A knight was able to recover it for her in the aftermath
Lavendar: Oh, very good.
Clym of Clough: oh my, I did not hear of that but I have also been out of reach in far away travels
King Blackthorn: So please let her know that she can retrieve her belongings from me
King Blackthorn: They will be safe in my vault until then
Lavendar: Oh, certainly we will let her know if we see her.
King Blackthorn: *smiles*
Clym of Clough: I will relay that also
Dezerai: thank goodness
King Blackthorn: Welcome Dialos
Dezerai: Hail sir
King Blackthorn: Governor Dezerai...
Dezerai: welcome

King Blackthorn: Please be on the lookout for any strange creatures

Lavendar: which is simply that I am traveling
Lavendar: the date of our next meeting.
Lavendar: So, I will not be able to attend.
King Blackthorn: *nods*
Lavendar: If it is the 2nd Sunday of December.
King Blackthorn: That's quite alright
King Blackthorn: It is scheduled for that day, but many governors are traveling over the next few months
Dezerai: *nods*
King Blackthorn: If a turnout like this is expected, I am open to alternative dates
Lavendar: I don't want to change the date just for myself
Lavendar: but I will be gone that weekend traveling by sea to another land.
King Blackthorn: *nods*
King Blackthorn: understood
Dezerai: beware the monsters of the deep Milady
Lavendar: Also if your Highness needs any help with the EM hall. I would be glad to help. That is all I have to report.

King Blackthorn: It is in need of some work
King Blackthorn: I'll send a note to discuss the details of the refurbishment
King Blackthorn: If there is nothing else to report, the floor is open...
King Blackthorn: *looks over shoulder*
King Blackthorn: Really,chairs on the other side of this table would be nice
Dezerai: aye
Cinderella: Sorry for my tardiness Your Majesty
Lavendar: Aye, they would.
Clym of Clough: I believe Sunday meetings are better for at least some citizens and at least one Governor
You see: chair
Dezerai: true
Lavendar: Aye, there is no plan to change Sunday meetings
Lavendar: I simply cannot attend December 11
King Blackthorn: Agreed - this was a last-minute change
Clym of Clough: and yes on the chairs
Clym of Clough: seems strange to have our citizens seated at the King and Governor's back
King Blackthorn: Lady Cinderella, you've been appointed governor of Minoc
Dezerai: I have always wonder why we had the chair behind us, any that spoke we had to turn our head
Dezerai: to see who it was
King Blackthorn: And Lord Clym of Skara Brae
King Blackthorn: I'll look into adding chairs
King Blackthorn: I want this court to feel inclusive
Dezerai: hello
Eastre: is it over?
Clym of Clough: If not I know a fair carpenter who could make and place some for meetings
Dezerai: not quite
King Blackthorn: *nods*
Lavendar: Ah, that would be a help
King Blackthorn: That would be helpful
Clym of Clough: How long they might last with all our sneaky little thieves tho, I do not know
Clym of Clough: heh
King Blackthorn: I can cast a spell to keep them in place
Dezerai: *nods*
Clym of Clough: ah well that would be very good indeed
King Blackthorn: Unless we have something that needs to stay in this room, shall we take a field trip?
Lavendar: I am hoping
Clym of Clough: I am ready for a trip
King Blackthorn: First to Skara Brae, then Minoc
Lavendar: our two governors can be appointed
Dezerai: aye
Lavendar: and we can witness
King Blackthorn: indeed
Eastre: can I come?
Dezerai: *nods*
Lavendar: their promotion!
King Blackthorn: All are welcome to come
Dezerai: yes you may
Eastre: k
Dezerai: all are welcome
King Blackthorn: One moment while I find my tired old runebook...
Dezerai: *smiles*
King Blackthorn: hrm...
Clym of Clough: we mayhaps to go outside?
King Blackthorn: This room has a strong spell that prevents even me from casting a gate spell
King Blackthorn: *smiles*
Eastre: heh
King Blackthorn: shall we...
Dezerai: then we leave this room
Lavendar: so shall we all run out?
Dezerai: they took a side door
Clym of Clough: ah I shall just use my sacred journey
where are we going first, do you know?
Dezerai: Skara
With that both quickly moved to Skara Brae
You see: Lord Clym of Clough [KHV]
You see: Lavendar Baroness of Vesper
You see: Lady Joyce Countess of Moonglow
You see: Lady Eastre Countess of Minoc
You see: Lady Cinderella [PAS]

The Slow Movement advocates a cultural shift toward slowing down life's pace. It began with Carlo Petrini's protest against the opening of a McDonald's restaurant in Piazza di Spagna, Rome in 1986 that sparked the creation of the Slow Food organization. Over time, this developed into a subculture in other areas, such as Cittaslow (Slow Cities), Slow living, Slow Travel, and Slow Design.
Geir Berthelsen and his creation of The World Institute of Slowness[1] presented a vision in 1999 for an entire 'Slow Planet' and a need to teach the world the way of Slow.
Professor Guttorm Fløistad summarizes the philosophy, stating:
The only thing for certain is that everything changes. The rate of change increases. If you want to hang on you better speed up. That is the message of today. It could however be useful to remind everyone that our basic needs never change. The need to be seen and appreciated! It is the need to belong. The need for nearness and care, and for a little love! This is given only through slowness in human relations. In order to master changes, we have to recover slowness, reflection and togetherness. There we will find real renewal.
The only thing for certain is that everything changes. The rate of change increases. If you want to hang on you better speed up. That is the message of today. It could however be useful to remind everyone that our basic needs never change. The need to be seen and appreciated! It is the need to belong. The need for nearness and care, and for a little love! This is given only through slowness in human relations. In order to master changes, we have to recover slowness, reflection and togetherness. There we will find real renewal.
The Slow Movement is not organized and controlled by a single organization. A fundamental characteristic of the Slow Movement is that it is propounded, and its momentum maintained, by individuals who constitute the expanding global community of Slow. Its popularity has grown considerably since the rise of Slow Food and Cittaslow in Europe, with Slow initiatives spreading as far as Australia and Japan.
Opposed to the culture of fast food, the sub-movement known as Slow Food seeks to encourage the enjoyment of regional produce, traditional foods, which are often grown organically and to enjoy these foods in the company of others. It aims to defend agricultural biodiversity.
The movement claims 83,000 members in 50 countries, which are organized into 800 Convivia or local chapters.[2] Sometimes operating under a logo of a snail, the collective philosophy is to preserve and support traditional ways of life. Today, 42 states in the U.S. have their own convivium.
In 2004, representatives from food communities in more than 150 countries met in Turin under the umbrella of the Terra Madre (Mother Earth) network.
For more details on this topic, see Slow Gardening.
Slow Gardening is a movement that helps gardeners savor what they grow using all their senses through all the seasons. It is not about being lazy; rather it is aimed at getting more out of what they do.
The principal perspective of slow is to experience life in a fundamentally different way. Adherents believe that the experience of being present leads to what Abraham Maslow refers to as peak experience.
The International Institute of Not Doing Much(IINDM) is a humorous approach to the serious topic of time poverty, incivility, and workaholism. The Institute's fictional presence promotes counter-urgency. First created in 2005, SlowDownNow.org is a continually evolving work of art and humor which reports it has over 5,000 members.
Slow Money is a movement to organize investors and donors to steer new sources of capital to small food enterprises, organic farms, and local food systems. Slow Money takes its name from the Slow Food movement. Slow Money aims to develop the relationship between capital markets and place, including social and soil fertility. Slow Money is supporting the grass-roots mobilization through network building, convening, publishing, and incubating intermediary strategies and structures of funding.
The goals of the Cittaslow movement is to resist the homogenization and globalization of towns and cities and seeks to improve the quality and enjoyment of living by encouraging happiness and self-determination.
Slow parenting encourages parents to plan less for their children, instead allowing them to enjoy their childhood and explore the world at their own pace. It is a response to hyper-parenting and helicopter parenting, the widespread trend for parents to schedule activities and classes after school every day and every weekend, to solve problems on behalf of the children, and to buy services from commercial suppliers rather than letting nature take its course. It was described most specifically by Carl Honoré in Under Pressure: Rescuing Our Children from the Culture Of Hyper-Parenting.[4]
Slow Travel is an evolving movement that has taken its inspiration from nineteenth-century European travel writers, such as Théophile Gautier, who reacted against the cult of speed, prompting some modern analysts to ask "If we have slow food and slow cities, then why not slow travel?".[5] Other literary and exploration traditions, from early Arab travellers to late nineteenth-century Yiddish writers, have also identified with slow travel, usually marking its connection with community as its most distinctive feature. Espousing modes of travel that were the norm in some less developed societies became, for some writers and travellers from western Europe such as Isabelle Eberhardt, a way of engaging more seriously with those societies.[6]
Advocates of slow travel argue that all too often the potential pleasure of the journey is lost by too eager anticipation of arrival. Slow travel, it is asserted, is a state of mind which allows travellers to engage more fully with communities along their route, often favouring visits to spots enjoyed by local residents rather than merely following guidebooks.[7] As such, slow travel shares some common values with ecotourism. Its advocates and devotees generally look for low-impact travel styles, even to the extent of eschewing flying.
Aspects of slow travel, including some of the principles detailed in the Manifesto for Slow Travel,[8] are now increasingly featuring in travel writing. The magazine Hidden Europe, which published the Manifesto for Slow Travel, has particularly showcased slow travel, featuring articles that focus on unhurried, low-impact journeys and advocating a stronger engagement with communities that lie en route.
A new book series launched in May 2010 by Bradt Travel Guides explicitly espouses slow travel ideas with volumes that focus very much on local communities within a tightly defined area, often advocating the use of public transport along the way. Titles include Bus-Pass Britain, Slow Norfolk and Suffolk, Slow Devon and Exmoor, Slow Cotswolds, Slow North Yorkshire and Slow Sussex and South Downs National Park.
In the United States, the slow travel movement has manifested the renewed interest of historic two-lane roads, including U.S. Route 66, and the Lincoln Highway which was the first transcontinental road for the automobile across America.
Slow Art is an emerging movement evolving out of a philosophy of art and life expounded by the artist Tim Slowinski. Later developments in Slow Art have been championed by such proponents as Michael Kimmelman, chief art critic and columnist for the New York Times. It advocates appreciating an art work in itself as opposed to a rapid, flitting witnessing of art common in a hectic societal setting. One of its central tenets is that people often seek out what they already know as opposed to allowing the artist to present a journey or piece in its entirety.
Another interpretation of Slow Art relates to creating art in a slow way. This practice is about being mindful of detail, valuing the history inherent in re-usable materials, putting time into creating small items. The practice encourages the maker to be naturally meditative as they create. "Slow" ends up being a way of being. An example of local makers creating in this way is highlighted by those involved with the inaugural Eastside Makers Market in Tasmania.
Slow Media is a movement aiming at sustainable and focused media production as well as media consumption. It formed in the context of a massive acceleration of news distribution ending in almost real-time digital media such as Twitter. Beginning 2010 many local Slow Media initiatives formed in the USA[9] and Europe (Germany,[10] France, Italy) leading to a high attention in mass-media.[11] Others experiment with a reduction of their daily media intake and log their efforts online ("Slow Media Diet").
The term "Slow Fashion" was coined by Kate Fletcher in 2007 (Centre for Sustainable Fashion, UK).[12] "Slow fashion is not a seasonal trend that comes and goes like animal print, but a sustainable fashion movement that is gaining momentum."[13]
The Slow Fashion Movement is based on the same principles of the Slow Food Movement, as the alternative to mass-produced clothing (AKA "Fast-Fashion"). Initially, The Slow Clothing Movement was intended to reject all mass-produced clothing, referring only to clothing made by hand,[14] but has broadened to include many interpretations and is practiced in various ways.[15]
Some examples of slow fashion practices include:
The Slow Fashion movement is a unified representation of all the "sustainable", "eco", "green", and "ethical" fashion movements. It encourages education about the garment industry's connection and impact on the environment and depleting resources, slowing of the supply chain to reduce the number of trends and seasons, to encourage quality production, and return greater value to garments removing the image of disposability of fashion.[16][17] [18] A key phrase repeatedly heard in reference to Slow Fashion is "quality over quantity". This phrase is used to summarize the basic principles of slowing down the rate of clothing consumption by choosing garments that last longer.
The Slow Science movement's objective is to enable scientists to take the time to think and read. The prevalent culture of science is publish or perish, where scientists are judged to be better if they publish more papers in less time, and only these who do so are able to maintain their careers. Those who practice and promote slow science suggest that "society should give scientists the time they need".[19]
Slow Goods takes its core direction from various elements of the overall 'Slow Movement' and applying it to the concept, design and manufacturing of physical objects. It focuses on low production runs, the usage of craftspeople within the process and on-shore manufacturing. Proponents of this philosophy seek and collaborate with smaller, local supply and service partners. Slow Goods practitioners must have those tenets baked into their business model, it must be the top driver in the procurement of sustainable materials and manufacturing techniques. The rationale for this local engagement facilitates the assurance of quality, the revitalization of local manufacturing industries and reduces greatly the footprint related to the shipment of goods across regions of land and or water. Again, quality always supersedes quantity. The genesis of a product is becoming more of concern for consumers. Some companies have now woven this philosophy into their corporate structure. The source of a product and its parts has become increasingly more important.
This movement seeks to break current conventions of perpetuating the disposable nature of mass production. By using higher quality materials and craftsmanship, items attain a longer lifespan that harkens back to manufacturing golden era of the past.
Slow Church is a movement in Christian praxis which integrates Slow Movement principles into the structure and character of the local church. The phrase was introduced in 2008 by Christian bloggers working independently who imagined what such a "Slow Church" might look like.[20][21][22] Over the next several years, the concept continued to be discussed online and in print by various writers and ministers.[23][24][25] In July 2012, a three-day conference titled Slow Church: Abiding Together in the Patient Work of God was held on the campus of DePaul University in Chicago on the topic of Slow Church and featured Christian ethicist Stanley Hauerwas and Kyle Childress among others.[26] An online blog called "Slow Church" written by Chris Smith and John Pattison is hosted by Patheos,[27][28] and Smith and Pattison have written a forthcoming book by the same name to be published in 2013.[27][29]
Ethics, ecology, and economy are cited as areas of central concern to Slow Church.[30][31] Smith describes Slow Church as a "conversation" not a movement and has cited New Monasticism as an influence.[30] In its emphases on non-traditional ways for churches to operate and on "conversation" over dogma and hierarchy, Slow Church is also related to the broader Christian "Emerging church" movement.
Recent technological advances have resulted in a fast paced style of living. Slow counselors understand that many clients are seeking ways to reduce stress and cultivate a more balanced approach to life. Developed by Dr. Randy Astramovich and Dr. Wendy Hoskins and rooted in the Slow Movement, Slow Counseling offers counselors a wellness focused foundation for addressing the time urgency and stress often reported by clients.[32]

I'm very late to it, but rapidly catching up on the FX series "The League," which features a few UCB-spawned performers, including Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas and Nick Kroll, in its well calibrated ensemble cast. And for Kroll, who's debuting his showcase "Kroll Show" this coming week on Comedy Central, it's still probably his best work.
The show began on the marketing hook of being about the travails of players in a fantasy football league, complete with guest appearances by Terry Bradshaw, Chad Ochocinco and other football players and broadcasters. But after its first season, it morphed into being more about the characters' misadventures, and started to show its pedigree as being created by former "Seinfeld" writer/producer Jeff Schaffer with his wife Jackie Marcus Schaffer. The stories in this half-hour comedy now often reach successfully for catchphrases, just like "Seinfeld" did, and end with utter catastrophic failures of one of the characters' schemes and plans.
As it's evolved, "The League" has definitely reached the upper echelon of TV comedy, with its network-mates, "Louie" and "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia," as well as "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Bored To Death" and "Parks & Recreation," other shows with the same sensibility and pedigree.

Question description
The company has recently changed its total annual compensation policy to improve sales.A salesperson will continue to earn a fixed annual salary of $85,000.00. The current annual sales target for every salesperson is $150,000.00.The sales incentive commission will only start when 80% of the annual sales target is met. The current commission is now 15% of total annual sales. Any annual sales below the incentive commission percentage will not earn any annual commission.If a salesperson exceeds the annual sales target, the commission will increase based on an acceleration factor. The acceleration factor is 2.0.The application should ask the user to enter annual sales, and it should display the total annual compensation.The application should also display a table of potential total annual compensation that the salesperson could have earned, in $5000 increments above the salesperson's annual sales, until it reaches 50% above the salesperson's annual sales.Sample Table: Assuming a total annual sales of $100,000, the table would look like this:

My post the other day on seeing my name for the first time in print made me think of the first time I ever heard it anywhere other than my home. It was on Sharon, Lois, and Bram's Elephant Show! You know the skiddamarinky dinky dink show? Did you ever watch that? It was one of my favorite shows when we were little and unlike most things from my childhood, when I look back on it as an adult, I still like it.
This episode pretty much captures my love for Sharon, Lois, and Bram:
I watched this episode for like 10 minutes last night and I couldn't stop laughing.
I really liked Lois. She always seemed to dance and was kind of sassy, but Bram was my favorite. He was such a gentle soul and I was certain that he read prodigiously like me and liked to wear argyle and bow ties in his time away from the show. I think I had an old man crush on him. He was the perfect grandpa type and I was perfectly grandpa-less and it didn't really matter that he was in Canada and I was in Washington State because we were made for one another.
I also liked the guest stars on the show though Eric Nagel was kind of a maniac. He didn't seem like a safe person to be on a show for small children. There was something unpredictable about him in his wild plaid and unshaved face. He had a bit of crazy about the eyes, but I loved him too.
In this particular episode, they seem to be encouraging hoarding to the tune of fuba wuba. They routinely made up these silly lyrics and choruses, but they harmonized so perfectly.
Anyways, there is a song called Jada, Jada, Jing Jing Jing. I'm not making this up. If you have an old, Polish grandpa then for whatever reason, he probably knows this song! (Trust me, old dudes have sung this to me routinely). Sharon, Lois, and Bram sang this song on their show one day and I didn't stop smiling for a whole month.
So, yes, there is a nonsensical song that has my name in it. It goes like this:
(Bob Carleton)
You've heard all about your raggy melodies
Ev'rything from opera down to harmony
But I've a little song that I will sing to you
It's going to win you through and through
There ain't much to the words, but the music is grand
And you'll be singing it to beat the band
Now you've heard of your "Will O' The Wisp"
But give a little listen to this
It goes Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing
Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing
That's a funny little bit of melody
It's so soothing and appealing to me
It goes Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing!
Anyways, I couldn't find the Sharon, Lois, and Bram version, so I'll leave you with this one instead:

Number of new customers at gun shop quadrupled last month
Law enforcement and gun dealers say that they are seeing a rise in gun sales and applications for carry permits in Iowa.
The Des Moines Register reports that the National Instant Criminal Background Check System says Iowa had 25,941 firearm background checks conducted in December 2015, more than in any other month last year.
The Polk County Sheriff's Department says it saw about 1,000 more gun carry permit applications than usual last month. Woodbury County Sheriff Dave Drew says he believes that influx is the result of rising safety concerns following high-profile gun crimes.
Tom Hudson, manager of CrossRoads Shooting Sports in Johnston, says the number of new customers at his shop quadrupled last month, and he's surprised that gun sales have not dropped off since the usual holiday increase.

In a previous post I discussed in detail strategies to help ensure the effective use of technology to improve learning outcomes. You don't have to be a fan of technology, but you do need to understand that it's a catalyst for some exciting pedagogical changes. The purposeful use of technology can innovate assessment, transform time frames around learning, increase collaboration, enable learning about information and research thanks to unprecedented access, and provide a level of student ownership like never before. These are all outcomes that any educator would (or should) openly embrace.

Early Detection Not an Iron-Clad Guarantee
Researchers in Queensland, which has the highest melanoma rate in the world, have found that melanomas less than 1mm thick cause more fatalities than "thick" melanomas at least 4mm deep.
The findings, published in the US-based Journal of Investigative Dermatology, suggest Queenslanders are having suspicious skin markings checked out before they develop. "(But) this is not preventing people from dying," said lead author David Whiteman. "It's a sobering reminder that while we have been very successful at picking melanomas up early, it's not an iron-clad guarantee."
Professor Whiteman, of the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Brisbane, said researchers had known for decades that advanced melanomas carried poor prognoses. "The danger is proportional to how deep they are when they're diagnosed," he said.
"Thin" melanomas present only marginal risks to life, leading to assumptions that most melanoma deaths arise from thick lesions. But the team's analysis of 20 years of Queensland Cancer Registry data, which took account of tumour thickness at diagnosis, revealed this was not the case.
While late-detected melanomas proved 12 times as likely to kill sufferers as those diagnosed early, the sheer number of cases — which almost doubled from about 1500 a year in the early 1990s to 2800 late last decade — meant thin tumours killed about 40 per cent more Queenslanders, on average.
Even Thin Melanoma Tumours Can Kill You
Over 15 years, this gap has grown from 24 per cent to almost 60 per cent. "We're seeing a shift in the patterns of the people dying from melanoma," Professor Whiteman said. "We must prevent melanomas in the first place, because once they occur, even thin ones can kill you."
Professor Whiteman said data from elsewhere, including the US, pointed to similar trends. He said that while the incidence of melanoma in Australians aged under 40 was declining, it remained the most common cancer among the nation's young. "That's why we mustn't give up on primary prevention — the 'slip, slop, slap'," he said. "Melanoma is almost entirely preventable."
The Melanoma Institute of Australia says about 400 extra cases are detected each year. One in 17 Australians can expect a diagnosis by the age of 85.
Melanomas comprise just 2 per cent of skin cancers but cause three-quarters of skin cancer deaths, the institute says.

While this is nothing extraordinary, the way they reorganized the channels is something to note. The old channel lineup was between 1 and 1000 and the HD channels existed in the 800 range. The HD channel order beared little resemblence to the standard definion channel lineup that was between 1 and 300.
When they reorganized the channels a few months ago, they kept the SD channels between about 1 and 499 and moved the HD channels to 500 through 999. International channels and the music channels are now between 1000 and 1999.
The neat thing that they did was align the SD channels in the same order as the HD channels. All you need to do to get the HD version of a channel (if it exists) is add 500 to the SD channel number. Of course not all SD channels have HD equivalents, and some HD channels (notably HDNet, HDMovies, and Universal HD) don't have SD equivalents.
For most cases, it's easy to fip around. For example:
- Local NBC affiliate 4 is 4 for SD and 504 for HD. It used to be 807 for HD.
- USA SD is still 50 and USA HD is 550.
- CNN SD is 100 while the HD version is 600.
I don't remember seeing any tips from Verizon touting this usability feature. It took me about a day to figure it out just by using the new channel lineup. They might want to highlight this more.
The next step up is to have one channel lineup with the ability to switch a network between SD and HD.

Enforcement of the sales ban required that Apple post a $2.6 million bond from which damages to Samsung would be paid if Apple ultimately lost its infringement case, and FOSS Patents reports that Apple has indeed moved quickly to post the bond.
Apple didn't hesitate to post its $2.6 million bond to protect Samsung againt the possibility of a successful appeal, in which case the preliminary injunction would be found to have been improperly granted. [...]Samsung has filed a request for a stay of the injunction while it appeals the decision, but for the time being Samsung is subject to the ban.
On this basis, the injunction has taken effect and Samsung must abide by it. Otherwise Apple could ask the court to sanction Samsung for contempt.
The ban only applies to the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and Samsung now offers several other tablet models that are not affected by the injunction, so it is unclear exactly how much of an economic effect the ban will have on Samsung. But the injunction does strengthen Apple's standing as it pursues this and other lawsuits against Samsung in courts around the world.

James was offered his exciting new role after an outstanding performance in the final of The Eventice, a national event management graduate recruitment competition where finalists compete for a job. The announcement was made on the final day of the International Confex in London following three days of rigorous challenges where the fifteen finalists demonstrated their ability to multi task, organise, lead, project manage, negotiate, network and present. Their skills were assessed by a group of industry professionals. When James learned that he and a second finalist, Bianca Ferreira had won a role with Bluehat Group he said: "It's a brilliant opportunity to take part; to win is an added bonus. It's nice to know that there is a job for you straight after university. Not many people have that chance." Speaking of the challenges the finalists were given James added: "They were difficult but really fun and fast-paced. It was a good opportunity to use the stuff we have learned over the last three years in a professional setting. The reason you go to University is to get to that position where you can find a job doing what you enjoy and clearly I've achieved this because I've got an amazing job to look forward to." Tim Shepley, CEO of Bluehat says: "The whole Bluehat team were really impressed with the standard of candidates at Eventice 2015. Bianca Ferreira and James Eynon were outstanding and we chose them both as winners because of their professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to go beyond the call of duty." Referring specifically to the Southampton Solent University student he adds: "James presented in an extremely positive, proactive and personable way and we know James will add real sparkle to our event solutions, in particular those that involve media, technology and live digital engagement." A second student at the University, Daniela Ribeira, reached the semi-final of the competition. The Eventice was devised by Liz Sinclaire, Director of ESP Recruitment in 2011. So far the competition has placed 17 students in jobs with the events industry.

Visual learning has always been an effective educational technique, but arguably never more so than today, when students, who are by and large digital natives, have grown so accustomed to viewing video and high-quality imagery on smartphones that these handheld devices have become virtual appendages.
- Safety Updates In Real Time. As just mentioned, networked digital signage is an excellent way to communicate safety information and emergency updates. For extreme weather events, security alerts, and other dangerous or potentially life-threatening situations, digital communication gives administration the ability to reach all quarters by displaying messages on interior and exterior wall screens, small screens in classrooms, large screens in public areas such as cafeterias and auditoriums, computer monitors, smartphones and tablets. In addition, the ability to communicate emergency updates in real time has inestimable value.
- Innovative Teaching. Large-screen digital displays can be used to bring students "up close" in large lecture-room settings. Digital screens also enable teachers to virtually bring remote learners into the classroom, not only enhancing the learning experience but also building a sense of community and morale among on-campus and off-campus students. Teachers can also use digital displays to "gamify" the learning experience — a technique rapidly gaining traction in education and business due to its impressive track record of producing results.
- Informing and Engaging. Digital signage solutions for educational institutions often include elaborate systems for wayfinding — an invaluable aid to new students and visitors. In addition to posting wayfinding information on strategically placed digital screens inside and outside buildings, interactive digital kiosks with touchscreens allow people to maintain control (very important) and input their own destination to obtain directions. Wall screens in public areas also provide an outstanding medium to convey campus news, upcoming events, student and teacher recognition, and other messages that build morale and a sense of community.

RICHMOND, Va. – VCU Women's Basketball Coach Beth O'Boyle announced the additions of assistants Rob Norris and Kate DeSorrento Wednesday.
Norris, a 13-year veteran of Division I hoops, joins VCU following a two-year stint as an assistant coach at Eastern Michigan. With the Eagles, Norris focused on guard play and was the team's defensive coordinator. In 2012-13, EMU limited its opponents to 63.8 points per game. Last season, Eastern Michigan improved its record by 10 wins, to 18-14.
"I am so excited for the opportunity to work with Rob," O'Boyle said. "He has great knowledge of the game and a proven success of developing players both on and off the court. Our players will truly benefit from his dedication and intensity."
