Swimming 101 - a guide for parents
by coach Jason Cawkwell
As an introduction to the new iM Skilled program, the following article was created to help parents of young swimmers navigate their way through the world of swimming with the Regina Dolphins. As you will see from each of the levels of the iM Skilled program, the emphasis is on having "legal" progression of all four strokes, turns and the development of Individual Medley.
Below is a summary of what our coaches are looking for in each of the strokes and some basic rules that surround them.
Swimming skills need to be developed in late childhood (girls 8 – 11, boys 9 - 12)
Emphasis on skill development and the learning of all four (4) competitive swim strokes, starts, turns and finishes are of utmost importance as is teaching with a "Multi - stroke" approach. This teaching methodology is applied in order to maintain a high level of interest and reduces risk of injury due to repetitive strain or poor technique. It is important for overall development that all stroke techniques are introduced and skill concepts mastered as young swimmers tend to demonstrate a natural predilection to any 1 or 2 strokes., however, the introduction of all of the competitive swimming strokes and skills at this development age, provides better opportunity for improvements later in their swimming career as the swimmers improve and mature.
In Competitive or Speed Swimming we use four competitive swimming stroke. These are Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Freestyle along with the Individual Medley as a combination of all four of these strokes.
Butterfly 101
Butterfly is considered by many to be the most beautiful and powerful of all the strokes and it is a very visually striking stroke. Some consider it to be very difficult and although it does require power from the athlete, it requires much more in terms of timing, rhythm and control. At the Regina Dolphins we consider the Butterfly essential to learning, as when swimmers master this stroke the whole world of swimming seems somewhat less daunting.
What we look for to be "legal""
The Butterfly stroke is a symmetrical stroke with one side "mirroring" what the other side is doing. Butterfly features a simultaneous recovery of the arms over the water combined with an undulating dolphin kick. For the dolphin kick, the swimmer must keep both legs together and may not use a flutter or breaststroke kick.

Turning and finishing requirements
For turning and finishing, swimmers must have both hands touch the wall simultaneously (at the same time)
Backstroke 101
Having a good Backstroke is the foundation for swimming well. Backstroke swimming uses an alternating motion with the arms and using a flutter kick while on the back. Having a great body position that is high in the water, straight and firm is key to swimming well on all strokes and is easily mastered at an early stage.

Turning and finishing requirements
For turning, swimmers may rotate to their front and perform a flip turn (similar to a freestyle flip turn) and some part of the swimmer must touch the wall. The swimmer must start and finish the swim on their back.

Breaststroke 101
The Breaststroke is the oldest of all the swim strokes with European Gentlemen preferring the stroke due to its elegance over the savage nature of the crawl strokes. The Breaststroke is a symmetrical stroke with both sides of the body "mirroring" the other.
What we look for to be "legal"
It uses a simultaneous movement of the arms in the same horizontal plane. The hands are pressed out from in front of the breast in an inverted heart shaped pattern and the hand being recovered under or on the surface of the water (unlike butterfly that needs recovery over the water) . The kick is a simultaneous with feet turned out, with a somewhat circular motion similar to that of a frog although a narrower whip like version - hence the name whip kick.

Turning and finishing requirements
For turning and at the finishing, as with Butterfly, the swimmer must touch the wall with both hands simultaneously.
Freestyle 101
Freestyle or "front crawl" is the fastest of all the strokes. While technically the swimmer may choose any means to propel them through the water (that's why it's called Freestyle) at the Regina Dolphins we will be using the front crawl stroke when addressing Freestyle. This stroke is characterized by the alternate stroking of the arms over the surface of the water with face down and turning the head to the side to breath. The Freestyle uses a Flutter Kick (an alternating up-and-down action).
Turning and finishing requirements
For turning, swimmers will be taught to perform the Flip a turn. (While not noticeably faster at a young/developmental level is without a doubt the fastest turn to use later in swimming. The Flip Turn is a somersault action prior to touching the end of the pool. At the wall, some part of the swimmer must touch prior to commencement of the next length.
Individual Medley 101
The Individual Medley, which is more commonly referred to as the I.M., uses all four strokes. The IM begins with the Butterfly, then Backstroke, with Breaststroke and Freestyle after. Each stroke is allowed 1/4 of the race. So in the 100 IM: 25 m is allocated to all strokes. Freestyle in the IM can only be a stroke that has not yet been performed, therefore, front crawl is a requirement of the final freestyle leg of the race.
What we look for to be "legal"
All the individual rules for swimming, turning and finishing must be adhered to while swimming the Individual Medley.
Turning and finishing requirements
All rules mentioned in the individual stroke 101 must be used.
Parents guide to competition 101
Types of Competitions 101
In Competitions (or "Meets" as they are commonly referred to) swimmers compete in different age groups and at meets appropriate at their level. Some competitions require Qualifying times (or "Cuts"). These times are usually for Provincial or National Level swim meets and are published at either Swim Sask (here) or Swimming Canada (here). The age category of which the swimmer will compete in, is defined based on their age calculated on the first day of the swim meet.
Types of Meet
1) Inter Club Relay and fun night meets - Full Club involvement.
2) Inter Clubs Mini Meets - Junior Groups only.
3) Developmental Meets - Saskatchewan series meets.
4) Invitational Meets
5) Qualifying Meets - Winnipeg PWI Meet, Edmonton EKI Meet etc
7) Provincial Level Meets - A Provincials, Junior Cup (10&U Girls, 11&U Boys), ManSask
8) SNC National Level Meets - Western Canadian Championships, National age Groups
9) International events - Trials, Commonwealth Games, World Champs and Olympic Games.
Meet Sign Ups 101
A few weeks prior to every competition the coaches/team manager will send out information regarding the upcoming meet such as dates, venues and which training groups should be in attendance and other relevant information. From this email you will follow the link provided to the clubs "sign up" page and select either Accept or Decline before the stated closing date. Your coach will then add which events they want your swimmer to do at the meet. Once these have been added and relays selected these entries are submitted to the meet organizer Via Swim Canada for time verification.
Relays 101
Often swimmers will state that relays are the most fun part of a swim meet. if your swimmer is entered into the swim meet, it is expected that your swimmer will be part of a relay should they be selected. The Regina Dolphins Coaches will often select as many teams as possible (based on the number of swimmers in each age category) sometimes if numbers are high enough the club will field A,B,C,D and even E teams. However at some meets only 2 teams are allowed.
Selections for Relays are done by the coach using best times or best current form, and are usually (where possible) selected fastest to slowest. Sometimes medley relays can look confusing as swimmers may not be swimming their "favored" stroke, yet the teams overall time will be faster. The coaching staff always endeavor to select teams using objective criteria where possible.
The technical rules of swimming are designed to provide a fair and equal "playing condition" of competition and to ensure uniformity in the sport. Each swimming stroke has specific rules designed to ensure that no swimmer gets an unfair competitive advantage over another swimmer. Swimming Canada (SNC) rules can be found here.
Competition pools may be short course (25 meters) or long course (50 meters). The international standard (as used in the Olympics) is 50 meters. World records are accomplished in both 25 and 50 meter pools. The Regina Dolphins have maintained records for these distances 25 meter records and 50 meter records (please visit our Club Records section)
The Lawson Aquatic Centre can switch between Long course and short course by moving the Bulk Heads in the middle of the pool.
Officials are present at all competitions to enforce the technical rules of swimming (mentioned above) so the competition is fair and equal. Officials have to attend clinics, pass a test and work meets before being certified.
The technical rules of swimming are designed to provide fair and equitable conditions of competition and to promote uniformity in the sport.
BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE - From time to time the RODS will put on classes to help get parents certified to all levels of officiating. Swim Meets cannot run without the involvement of officials therefore all parents are encouraged to get involved with some form of officiating. For more details contact (here)

Latest update on TTC, City, Province upload discussions
This morning (Oct. 16), the City released an update report on the future of public transit in Toronto, including both expansion projects and ownership of the existing network.
I am pleased to let you know that in partnership with City Manager Chris Murray, the City and TTC have been able to secure terms of an agreement that would leave our existing subway system as it is today, with the TTC operating and maintaining all elements.
This was a critically important part of these negotiations and was important to me in order to preserve and build on the excellent work you all do day in and day out. It was also City Council's position that we should continue to own, operate and maintain the subway as part of an integrated transit network.
The other good news from this agreement with the Province is City money that was previously to be dedicated to expansion projects will now remain with the city for use on state of good repair work, including those items highlighted in the TTC's Capital Investment Plan.
With respect to expansion, the Province has agreed to fully fund the delivery of their priority projects with support from the Federal Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF), with the TTC operating the lines and retaining fare revenues.
I think you will agree that having these matters resolved accomplishes two important things: It addresses concerns we had regarding the future of our network and how those changes might impact our employees; it also means Torontonians will be getting more, much-needed high order transit.
The full report is available on the City's website at http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2019.EX9.1

Fuel prices remain unchanged for December
WINDHOEK – The Ministry of Mines and Energy has confirmed that fuel pump prices for December will remain unchanged, as prices at the entry port of Walvis Bay remain stable at N$13.05 per litre for 95 Octane Unleaded Petrol and N$13.63 per litre for Diesel 50ppm.
In a media statement, the mines and energy minister noted that the global oil market supply and demand remained relatively steady throughout the month of November, 2019.
"There were no major disruptions in the market, and this has kept the prices of refined oil at relatively stable levels. Barrel prices for both Unleaded Petrol 95 and Diesel 50 ppm traded at daily averages, ranging from about US$69 to US$77. This range compares equally to the range recorded during the last review of fuel prices back in October," read the statement.
He added that similarly, the exchange rate between the Namibia Dollar and the US Dollar did not fluctuate much throughout the month of November. On average, the Namibia Dollar only gained minimal value against the US Dollar, from N$14.88 in October 2019 to N$14.80 per US Dollar for the period under review. This slight appreciation, said Alweendo, implies exchange rate and fuel price stability.
Meanwhile, the under-recoveries per product on the Basic Fuel Price (BFP) import parity landed in Walvis Bay as calculated at 25 November 2019 were 31.716 c/e for 95 Octane Unleaded Petrol and 9.212 c/e for Diesel 50ppm. Under-recoveries usually call for an increase in fuel pump prices to fulfil fuel supplier cost recovery purposes. However, Alweendo stated that the National Energy Fund is financially stable and will absorb these moderate under-recoveries on behalf of consumers. He estimated that the subsidy will be in excess of N$30 million.
"The stability in fuel prices is expected to contribute meaningfully to the many economic activities that are usually rife during the end-of-the-year festive season," Alweendo concluded.

Lessons in Business Management
By Pinkchic18, 3rd Sep 2010 | Follow this author
| RSS Feed
Posted in WikinutBusinessStarting A Business
There are many management styles out there, and some are more effective for certain types of people. But what are some general rules of thumb for being a leader in your business? Read on and find out.
Take Responsibility
When things are your duty, they need to get done. Set an example for your employees to show that being responsible is not only professional, but respectable. People who take on responsibility and fulfill their duties gain the respect and authority that is deserved.
What not to do? Pass on your responsibilities to those under you. Yes, it's true that as a manager you are able to delegate tasks that need to get done. However if they are YOUR tasks, do them. Nothing is worse than a manager who pushes all their tasks onto employees who already have their own agenda and priorities.
Give Credit Where Credit is Due
People love to be recognized for their hard work. Are your employees staying late or coming in early to make the business work? Acknowledge this. These are things that they don't technically HAVE to do, but they are doing them to help you and the business thrive. This is definitely worth crediting.
Use small gifts (gift cards, thank you gift baskets, snacks or cookie bouquets, extra vacation time) to show your employees that you are grateful for their hard work. People don't need extravagant gifts to feel appreciated. Even a sincere 'Thank you' usually does a trick. Tell them how great of a job they have done and that you are really glad that you have them.
Take One For The Team
Are there trouble customers? Maybe an employee is having a really hard time with a customer and they can't seem to figure it out. Step in and help them out. You're the manager and typically have the experience to solve the problem. Don't watch them stress out and get frustrated with the situation, it's not worth it and they'll learn more from watching you than they will by struggling.
Is it 4:00pm and your employee hasn't even taken a lunch yet because they've been swamped? This shouldn't happen on an everyday basis, if it is - consider hiring another employee. But in the case that it's a busy day, relieve your employee. Step up and take over for a little bit so that they can rejuvenate and relax. There's no point pushing your employees to the max, because not only will they not be performing at their full potential but they won't exactly admire your management skills if they never get a break from working all day long.
Respect The Employees
Show your employees that you respect them by asking their opinion. Maybe there's been problems with the logistics of how things are running. Who knows about the everyday hustle and bustle than the employee at the front line? Ask them their thoughts and you'll be surprised at the solutions they come up with.
By showing your employees that you care about their opinions, they'll be more apt to telling you how things are going and if there are any other problems that maybe you hadn't thought of before. Respect their opinions and them as people. Everyone has their own strengths, let those strengths play to their advantage in the workplace by not forcing them to conform to specific (and usually outdated) agendas.

In 1901, the British philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell uncovered a possible paradox that necessitated a modification to set theory. One version of Russell's Paradox involves a town with one male barber who, every day, shaves every man who doesn't shave himself, and no one else. Does the barber shave himself?
From The Math Book published by Sterling
Interesting number paradox
Did you know that all numbers are interesting?
Proof: Assume there exists a set of uninteresting numbers. This set would have a smallest number, which is interesting because it is the smallest uninteresting number. But a number cannot be both interesting and uninteresting, so the assumption that there exists a set of uninteresting numbers must be wrong and hence, all numbers must be interesting.

Hardline Supplements.com
Online bodybuilding supplement store. We sell hardline supplements.
Definition of hardline: An uncompromising adherance.
Think hardcore bodybuilding; no crap from anyone. I would like a cool looking LINE integrated into the logo. I would like it to have a very rough design, meaning the edges are cracked type of look. Also, try to incorporate the full name with the ".com" in it as well. That way if shirts or cards were made, it gives the impression right away that it is a website. Also, try to fit the tagline in there as well; "An Uncompromising Adherance". I would like to be able to use the logo WITH or WITHOUT the tagline if possible.
This is JUST a webstore, and there is no physical location, so the logo only needs to work for online and business cards.
Name: Hardline Supplements, OR HardlineSupplements.com

I've noticed that there's a lot of new people to The Elder Scrolls series. I'm creating this blog so I can explain to the newbies about the many mysteries that have baffled me and other Elder scrolls veterans. I also created this to explore the things that are mysterious to me. Our first topic is the lands beyond Tamriel....
The Lands Beyond.......
Now what are the lands beyond Tamriel? These lands are rarely ever explored within the series or even visited at all. The first place is the land of the Akaviri. What are the Akaviri exactly? " Akavir, (meaning "Dragon Land" in the native Akaviri) is a continent lying some 4,200 miles to the east of Tamriel. It is the homeland of fourseemingly unrelated races collectively referred to as the "Akaviri", which is composed of the Snow Demons of Kamal, the serpent-men of Tsaesci, the Monkey People of Tang Mo, and the Tiger Dragons of Ka'Po'Tun. Little else is known about the continent or the people of Akavir, as few Tamrielians have ever dared to cross the vast ocean which separated it from Tamriel. It was believed that humans lived in Akavir at one time, but were eventually "eaten" by the Tsaesci, who have themselves launched several attacks upon Tamriel in past ages. "
There is very little known information about the lands of the Akaviri. The Akaviri are similiar to the Asian Region of the real world.
What do these Akaviri actually look like? There's only one actual picture portraying one of the Akaviri which are the Tsaesci (snake men). " It is not known exactly where the Men of Akavir came from, but some say they wereNedic (or Nede) settlers like the ones that settled in Tamriel. This is entirely possible, because if the people of Atmora migrated to Tamriel, then they most likely also migrated to Akavir. Wherever they did come from, they are gone now, as they were eaten long ago by the Vampiric snake-people of Tsaesci. As mentioned before, eaten may not refer to literal ingestion - we simply do not know. " Many of the creatures and mean of the Akavir mirror Asian culture.
" The history of Akavir mostly involves legends and tales of battles between armies of Akavir and Tamriel. A mythical story states that a great Nord Warrior once traveled to Akavir and, with the help of a dragon, slew an army of Tsaesci." - Sounds like a DLC to me :)
Whats the next mysterious land? The once elven homeland of Aldmeris. Now this place is an extreme mystery.
" Virtually nothing is known of the Elven homeland. Its location, environment, politics, religion, and even its current existence are the stuff of conjecture. Translations from the tapestries and texts in the Crystal Tower of the Isle of Summerset have yielded only the barest of sketches of a beautiful but very strange land. In no representation of Aldmeris are there any trees or life but the Aldmer themselves. It appears always as an endless city, built upon itself over and over again, until no nature remains at all. The highest towers are reserved for interring the dead, a tradition continued on by the Crystal Tower itself. "
"What had happened in Aldmeris since the elves who settled in Tamriel left is perhaps the oldest of all mysteries. For countless centuries, adventurers have sought Lost Aldmeris, only to return disappointed, if they return at all. Some say that Aldmeris was sunk into the sea by the angry gods of the Aldmer. Others claim that the elven homeland has left Mundus, and will only return when the races of mer are united as one. Legends say that there are still a few old wise elves that still live there, not wanting to go away, but none has dared to go to the Elven homeland."
This is the end of the first section. The next blog will be about the certain races like the dissappearance of the Dwemer....
Make sure you comment on what you think about these mysteries

Congratulations to Deepak for Winning a London Business Award
In the News
Have no idea if this has been posted or even if he will see this, but wanted to say congratulations to @DeepakD (founder of Latest Deals and LatestFreeStuff) for winning Disruptive Entrepreneur of The Year 2019 at the London Asian Business Awards! I remember using LFS, watched the Dragon's Den pitch, been here for this site's launch and all, and it's so nice to see it continue to grow
Also surprised to find out Deepak is from the same ends of London as me, maybe I'll see him one day!
If this is already posted, please link me to the OP!
Very well done
Good for him! Happy he got it.
However, not to sound presumptuous, but it seems everyone gets an award these days and a special day so it takes out the sentimental value out of it.
I looked up ABA and it was established just in 2006, only 13 years ago.
Very well deserved, congratulations!
Brilliant achievement, congratulations!
Awww jamie15 so nice of you. We had a great time attending the awards. We did a post on LFS fb page and group with some pics. If you are on it then please have a look. It was a very exciting eventful evening and was so honoured to be there with the Entrepreneur himself to see him pick up the award amongst 10 strong contenders.

The Sony Xperia XA and Xperia XA Ultra smartphones both started to receive the Android 7.0 Nougat update in mid-June but around a week ago, it appeared that the update had been pulled, although at the time there was no clarification on the matter. However, responding to questions about this from Xperia Blog, Sony Mobile issued an official statement yesterday about the withdrawal of the Nougat update for the Xperia XA and Xperia XA Ultra, and has confirmed that it has been temporarily halted because of "minor performance inconsistencies" pertaining to the company's delivery system. Android 7.0 Nougat was pushed out to both smartphones as an over-the-air (OTA) update, and Sony has offered reassurance to users who have already upgraded either of these devices. The Japanese multinational states that the minor issues with the update will not cause any loss of performance or affect user data, and has given assurance that the rollout will begin again once the company is sure it can offer a "seamless upgrade,"
Of these two Sony smartphones, it was the Sony Xperia XA Ultra that started to receive the Android Nougat update first, beginning with the model numbers F3211 and F3212. Just a few days later, the Nougat rollout started for the Sony Xperia XA, i.e. its model numbers F3111, F3113, F3115, F3112, and F3116. Some of the new features and changes with the Android 7.0 Nougat update include multi-window support, enhancements to the doze mode to prolong battery life, and app shortcuts. At the same time, the software will likely offer some Sony-specific improvements to the firmware and built-in apps, as generally happens with manufacturers' own user interfaces that are used on top of stock Android.
Once the temporarily paused update for the Xperia XA and XA Ultra starts rolling out again, users should be notified about the availability of the update through a push notification, as always. Alternatively, users can check manually to see if the update is ready from the phone's 'Settings' menu from where they should navigate to the 'About Phone' section and tap the 'Software Updates' option. It's recommended that downloading and installing the update should be done over a Wi-Fi connection and that devices have at least 50 percent of battery life before beginning, to avoid problems if the handset powers down during the process. All being well, it shouldn't be too much longer until the Android Nougat update once again starts rolling out to the Xperia XA and XA Ultra.

The Government is proposing to raise the 'small claims limit' for anyone who has been injured in a collision on the road. Currently £1000, they want to raise this to £5000. They say this will tackle the high number of allegedly fraudulent whiplash claims.
But we think Pedestrians should't be included in these reforms
These reforms will affect access to justice for people in collisions across England and Wales, whether they've had a whiplash injury or not. It will mean that more pedestrians will have to pay for legal support.
Pedestrians and other vulnerable road users need protection from the negligent behaviour of others, but instead through these reforms ministers want to remove their rights and prevent them receiving vital legal assistance when they are hurt on our roads.
We want the Government to remove vulnerable road users from the scope of its personal injury reform programme reforms altogether.
Please contact your MP to oppose the increase in the 'small claims limit' for vulnerable road users or help spread the word. Click below to use the simple form produced by the Vulnerable Road Users Group.

I like the size of the 1:24 scale. It's perfect, imo. Gr8 detailing, too.
I love cars of the 50s but the first diecast model I ever purchased wasn't until the early 90s when I discovered FM 1:24 scale precision diecast models in a newspaper ad. It was the blue 1956 Thunderbird. I was soon hooked on collecting 1:24 models. I do have about ten 1:18s but display only two because of space limitations. I also have one 1:16 diecast, the DM 1953 Cadillac Eldorado, plus one 1:43 model, a resin Neo 1957 Cadillac Coupe de Ville in blue.

Hadley Joy,
You are the face of God's redemption story in my life. You see, you came at the perfect time. We had just experienced a miscarriage, a loss that I was not prepared for, nor could anyone ever be. Worse than the physical symptoms I experienced was my broken heart. I felt a sadness deeper than I had ever experienced before. I had no words. I felt alone, scared, angry, bitter and numb.
I pray that you never have to experience this kind of loss. But I want you to know that no matter where life takes you and what life brings your way, God will meet you right in the midst of your mess, just like he did for me. God met me in the midst of it all. He continued to teach me so much through our loss. He reminded me that his timing and His plan rarely look like our own, but they always work for His glory, even if we don't see the full picture.
Out of the darkness, out of the void, God gave us you.
Joy and Sadness, rejoicing and mourning. It seems nearly impossible to hold such opposing feelings so tightly, to process them simultaneously and yet to feel both so distinctly. But that's right where your story began.
At first, I feared that somehow, I loved your sister and our sweet angel baby so much that I wouldn't have the capacity to love you well, or at least not as I knew you deserved. But as you grew and I felt your movements, I knew my love for you would be uniquely ours.
Feb 18, 2019 is a day that forever changed me. The moment that I heard your cry for the very first time was equally one of the sweetest and hardest moments of my life. In that moment it was official. The echo of a cry that never came to be was met with the sweetest sound and the promise of new life. Then, the same doctor who had held my hand the year before as she delivered the most devastating news possible handed me the most precious gift imaginable. You.
You see, I realized in those moments that it was you all along. God used you to start to fill the void. You were an answer to our deepest cries and greatest desires. God knew that our journey to you would be littered with pain, but he also knew your sweet face and he knew you were what we needed.
"Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of JOY." (Psalm 126:5). Your middle name, Joy, serves to remind us of God's faithfulness. Your easy-going personality, your smiles and your pure joy are simply a gift.
Hadley, not a day goes by that I don't look into your sweet blue eyes, touch your tiny fingers, kiss your perfectly rosy cheeks and thank God for your life. As we prepare to celebrate your first birthday (I'm still not convinced this is possible already), I cannot help but think about your own story that you are sure to write. I want you to know that you are powerful. You are strong. You are a blessing beyond what we could have ever imagined and are most certainly more than your Daddy and I deserve.
Know that I will always be right here, cheering you on, praying for you and loving the person that God created in YOU!

It is nice to meet you, my name is UVI Back in Black. I am one of the oldest UVI chairs, which does not mean that my brothers are better than me because they are younger. My origin story is really quite simple. Remember summer? Remember that unbearable heat? And remember how sweaty you become because you are completely overwhelmed by the heat? Unlike my brothers who are covered with PU leather, I'm covered with a strong mesh. This means that, no matter how sweaty you are – you will never stick to me.
If you are looking for a chair that can take the heat, I am that guy!

Quilted is a five-person worker-owned and cooperatively managed web design, web development, and print design company. We promote workplace democracy and little-d democratic ideals through designing and developing websites, print publications, and graphic identities for like-minded social-change organizations. We strive to contextualize our work within larger movements for social justice and to work collaboratively with our clients and colleagues.
Most of our projects these days are websites built with the Drupal content management framework, but we also work with other content management systems and custom PHP and Rails-based web applications. Our core competencies are design, Drupal theme development, HTML/CSS, and strategic web consulting. Our work has been growing steadily over the past three years, and we're looking for a new potential worker-owner to join our team. We're committed to slow, strategic growth with the interests of members in mind.
Three of us work in an office in Berkeley, California, one from an office in Boston, Massachusetts, and one from New Haven, Connecticut. We value working in person as much as possible. We're not a "virtual" firm; the eventual plan is for all members to work at the same location (probably the SF Bay area). We're enthusiastic about the worker-cooperative model for business, and we embody it as much as possible. All members have the same pay rate, share equitably in any profit at the end of the year, and receive identical raises as we grow. We operate entirely on the basis of consensus, with all members having equal input into decisions, and all expected to contribute actively and creatively to building the company. We all get along really well and we take the time to care for one another.

7 things to know about the new, 10,000-word New Yorker story on Augusta National
On Friday morning during second round of the U.S. Open, The New Yorker published a lengthy story on, among other things, the exclusivity and manufactured beauty of Augusta National. The story spans nearly 10,000 words, and the author, Nick Paumgarten, details his experiences during the 2019 Masters. Much of the story won't surprise GOLF.com readers, but it also includes not-so-glowing reflections about the aura and exclusivity of the club. Here are seven things you should know about the story:
1. There's a particularly amusing anecdote about phones
One of the many unique aspects of Augusta National is a strict policy that bans cell phones on the course. Paumgarten shares a brief story he heard of how one employee tried, outlandishly, to sneak his phone in anyway.
"One morning during the tournament this year, a story went around that the club had done a spot inspection of staff headquarters and found that an employee had hidden a cell phone between two slices of bread."
That might be a first. And you'd have to imagine a cell-phone sandwich wouldn't come close to matching the taste of a fresh pimento cheese sandwich.
2. The overarching message: a social commentary on America
The story is rich in detail and specificity regarding the writer's experience. But the broad message — sometimes made implicitly, sometimes explicitly — centers around a social commentary on exclusivity and America. Perhaps no passage makes that more clear than this one:
"You could say that (Augusta is) a prelapsarian paradise, a dream of a bygone America of good manners and affordable delights. You could also say that this America never really existed, except as a figment of privilege and exclusion, and that the conjuring of it, on such a scale, is a kind of provocation."
You don't have to read between the lines to get the point.
3. There's a staggering estimate for weekly merchandise sales
Any patron who visits the Masters will likely stumble into the merchandise tent at some point. For many, a shirt or hat is the perfect way to commemorate what might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Augusta National doesn't release sales data, but the story pegs an estimate — and it's a staggering number.
"The club doesn't share sales figures—it doesn't even reveal how many tickets are sold—but a popular estimate is that it moves fifty million dollars of merchandise in that one week."
Yes, you read that right. Fifty. Million.
4. He offers a light-hearted story about meeting Instagram star Bob Menery
Prior to being admitted into Berckmans, Paumgarten appears to have never heard of the Instagram sensation. Menery has over 1.8 million Instagram followers, the platform on which he shares humorous sports content. Paumgarten writes about an interaction between Menery and Brooks Koepka — and what Menery had done the year prior.
"When Menery, outside the ropes, heckled Koepka about this during an early round at the Masters, Koepka laughed, but Menery got the Pinkerton glare. 'You don't fuck around here,' he told me. Last year, Menery posted a video on Instagram in which he crank-called the club pretending to be Bill Gates (who is a member), ludicrously demanding a tee time in the midst of the tournament. Now he was hoping that no one remembered this stunt; he was having too good a time, making too many connections, and, like nearly everyone at Augusta, sorely hoping to be invited back."
5. It includes some political and cultural undertones
Or overtones? There's plenty of first-person narrative in the story, and in one scene, the author describes a phone call he makes to his son to characterize some of the people he's met and impressions he's made. It's, well, direct.
"This isn't a golf tournament. It's a cultural event where the Southern United States has its chest stuck out and is saying 'Come down and visit. It's been a hundred and fifty-five years since the Civil War, and yet we want to let people know we're a strong people, a hardworking people, a proud people.'"
He also describes interactions with other patrons about political preferences, including their thoughts on President Donald Trump and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The imposition of Trump starts in the middle of the story and grows as the story progresses. The story ends with the scene of Tiger accepting the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump at the White House Rose Garden.
6. Tiger-Trump comparisons are aplenty
Paumgarten doesn't exactly paint Tiger — nor his stunning Masters win — in the most positive light. First he directly quotes Tiger's graphic texts with a porn star during his infidelity scandal. Then, he analyzes how people react to Tiger at Augusta. His words speak for themselves.
"This was the man whom everyone was roaring for. There was something Trumpean about it all—a suggestion not of redemption and forgiveness but of indulgence, or abandon."
7. He casts doubt on the foundation of Tigermania
Paumgarten doesn't take too kindly to the crowning of Tiger as a conquering hero, especially as it pertains to his comeback. He takes particular offense to the redemptive narrative that focuses on his injury history rather than infidelity and other personal issues. The latter, he posits, is the true quality that endears him to people.
"Knowing what we do about America's capacity for forgiveness, or for willful forgetting, we can maybe allow, with some ruefulness, that the restoration of his body was more astonishing, after all."

The just-food interview part two: Orkla plots return to top-line growth
By Katy Askew | 14 November 2013
Orkla CEO Age Korsvold wants better sales and margins from food (Photo: Håkon Mosvold Larsen/NTB)
With a stable of leading brands in the Nordics, Orkla is a regional powerhouse. However, a lack of focus has resulted in a sluggish performance from its food business for a number of years. CEO Age Korsvold intends to reverse this trend and has set out an ambitious plan that he believes will drive top-line growth and improved profitability. Katy Askew found out more.
Norwegian food giant Orkla benefits from leading brands in the categories and markets in which it operates. The maker of Grandiosa pizza, Felix ketchup and Stratos confectionery is the largest branded consumer goods company in the Nordics. Within the region, the company generates higher sales than either local or multinational competitors.
However, CEO Age Korsvold tells just-food, the consumer goods business has "under performed" for successive years. That assessment prompted Orkla to increase its focus on consumer goods and the company is working to shed its conglomerate status by selling off its non-core assets.
As the group ups its focus on the food side of its business, Orkla has set out an ambitious set of financial targets. "I think in order to protect your position you need to be aggressive and ambitious," Korsvold explains.
The company has divided its business into five units: foods; confectionery and snacks; home and personal care; ingredients; and international. It believes it can drive organic revenue growth of 2-3% at its foods unit, reversing a drop in the first half of 2013 of 1.1%. Likewise, Orkla plans to regain momentum at its confectionery unit, where the company aims to deliver organic growth of 3-4%, up from a first-half decline of 3.6%.
At the same time, Orkla intends to grow its EBIT margin. At its food unit, Orkla hopes to raise its adjusted EBIT margin from 13.9% in the first half of this year to 15%. In confectionery and snacks, the group wants to expand its EBIT margin from 15.4% to 16.5%.
Korsvold concedes there are no quick fixes. Achieving these targets will be, he says, a "gradual process" the company hopes to achieve by 2016. "We need a three-year period to rev up our performance," he suggests.
Orkla believes it can generate organic sales growth by renewing its focus on innovation. "We own some of the best and most loved brands in our markets. But you have to innovate, you have to expand, you have to work actively with the brands in order to maintain that position in the market place," Korsvold says at Orkla's London investor conference in September.
According to Korsvold's assessment, in the past, the decentralised nature of the business and its innovation teams has been one of the factors holding back Orkla's performance.
"Part of the issue for us has been that it is so decentralised. You need to centralise in silos. You need to use your strength to share experiences. Even the people who work on hair shampoo can learn something from the people that do pizza and the other way round. Generally I think in training, in exchanging views and also in moving people around, rotation, a centralised centre has benefits."
The company has rationalised and restructured its business and part of this process has seen Orkla reassess how its innovation teams work. Despite the five FMCG units, its innovation capabilities have been centralised.
"Our innovation teams inside Orkla today are twice as big as before we did the restructuring. There are more resources available, which mean better skills and scale. We have established a centralised team... [to] share insights and experience across business units," Korsvold says.
Orkla's innovation efforts are focused on taste and nutrition, packaging and design, as well as quality and food safety.
The company intends to create consumer excitement around its well-known brands through innovation and other brand building activities, such as increased advertising. It will also invest in pricing to ensure its price points remain competitive, Korsvold tells just-food.
At the same time, Orkla intends to strengthen its in-store execution and relationship with the retail trade. "We need to drive category growth together with the trade. It is in our interest, it is also in their interest. We need to focus on all processes, all [the] value-creation in the interaction between us as suppliers and the trade," Korsvold observes.
In order to fund these initiatives, maintain its competitive position and drive EBIT margin growth, Orkla has embarked on a comprehensive cost-cutting programme.
"I think that we talk a lot about innovation and growth. There is also a very strong message that we will extract costs. We will be much more cost effective. And that cost effectiveness will be transformed into more competitive positions. The resources you release you can invest in campaigns and advertising, price points - it is the whole array of tools available to you."
The split between improving margins and reinvesting is a "balancing act", Korsvold suggests. "If I should use the rule of thumb it's 50-50. The aim is to have a 50-50 split. Fifty per cent goes to the bottom line, 50% goes to improve our competitive position."
While Korsvold says Orkla "will never be as effective as the multinationals" in terms of margin, he recognises it is essential for the company to close the gap. "There is obviously a maximum difference between their performance and our performance."
The company has announced saving opportunities of NOK400-500m (US$64.4-80.4m). As the group integrates last year's acquisition of Norway-based food group Rieber & Son, it expects to generate synergies of NOK250-300m. The impact of continuous improvements will be "at least" NOK150m a year, Korsvold adds.
However, he tells just-food, it is "too early" to provide a total savings goal. "In food, we need to integrate Rieber first and then move to the next phase. Confectionery and snacks estimates cost savings of about NOK300m in total by 2016. That is for them a big number and I think it indicates in food, relative to size, it should be a similar sort of effect."
Opportunities of savings include centralised procurement and a simplification of Orkla's manufacturing footprint.
"We are purchasing to the tune of NOK18bn a year. In 2014, 54% of the purchasing will be done centrally. That will have an effect in that year of about NOK400m. We expect that the savings will increase from 1.9% to 2.5% of the purchasing platform as we go forward."
Orkla also intends to cut the number of SKUs "as part of the ability to invest more in the strongest brands" and to "increase the ability to reduce the number of plants and streamline the manufacturing imprint", Korsvold says.
"It is a gradual process. As you take out SKUs you need to fill out that sales volume from your stronger brands... you look at the multinationals - you see the process has been going on for years and it just keeps going."
As Orkla looks to build top-line momentum, the company is also on the hunt for acquisitions. The increased focus on Orkla's branded consumer business sees the group selling off a wide array of non-core business in areas including energy, real estate and finance. As this process progresses, Orkla will be left with a considerable war chest. In particular, Orkla is seeking "add-ons inside the current categories", Korsvold says.
"We will do very small acquisitions and we will do relatively large acquisitions. It depends on what is available. The focus will be on the Nordics and Baltics. The categories could be wider. They could be new categories or they could be adjacent categories. In principle there are no restrictions in categories."
Orkla views itself as a "strong consolidator" in its key Nordic and Baltic markets. However, as the company slims down, it becomes a more digestible size and could itself become a takeover target. Certainly, its stable of leading brands could prove a tempting prize for the multinational companies with which Orkla competes.
Korsvold is ambiguous over whether he could see Orkla becoming part of a larger global company. "I think, we will manage our consumer business. Whether consolitation goes on, whether there is global consolidation, it is not for me to speculate. If it is a short answer, it is the politically correct answer."
For details of Orkla's transformation into a branded consumer company view part one of the just-food interview.

3 Types Of Wet Room Renovations
September 6, 2018
To start off a "wet room" is a bathroom that is designed to maximise space in small rooms by creating wet areas in the bathroom that are traditionally dry. A large drain or multiple drains are set up to take water away quickly from larger areas than normal with no shower screen set up or a non-full shower screen enclosure. If you are looking for an extensive break down on the pros and cons of a wet room set up Click Here.
Below is a break down of the 3 types of wet room set ups we do in Perth WA.
The Wet Wet Wet Room - Classic
This style of wet room is the most traditional form of wet room. The bathroom has no shower screen with each item in the room likely to become wet from the use of the shower head. This style is ideal for people with disabilities or anyone who hates cleaning a shower screen.
The Least Wet of All The Wet Rooms (Walk In With A Screen)
This style is the most referred to as a "wet room" due to the frequency in which we do them as bathroom renovations in Perth. The examples below are an open shower which if you want a break down of pro's and con's of this CLICK HERE. Depending on the hobless or hob finish you will have different degrees of water exiting out of the shower area. Most of the water is off your body but depending on the fall you could have water directed towards the external drain out the shower. It's important to go through the expectation with your renovator. Walk-in showers look great, they have no moving parts and like all the bathrooms on this list are designed to be assisted living friendly.
Below is a double walk in shower from a renovation we completed in Leeming WA.
I Want A Wet Room But I Still Want A Bath
Modern wet rooms are great for a family that wants a bath but often do not want a shower bath. The downside will often be the smaller vanity or water splashing but i feel the pros well outweigh the negatives. If you struggle with cleaning this will be the hardest of all the renovations to get your mind around. Water will splash around the hard to reach places of the bath and the floor plumbing plus tiling needs to be done perfectly to get this right. Saying that I personally feel this is the best for look and feel of a bathroom that's modern.
Below are examples of what I call the modern wetroom which is a fixed panel, freestanding bath and a smaller vanity set up.
Below is a bathroom renovation we completed in Thornlie WA and Churchlands . We replaced the large corner spa with a nice compact freestanding bath and a walk in shower. The Churchlands renovation was a little more complicated as we had two door ways into the room. Shower baths are not everyone's cup of tea so its important to go with an alternative if you can such as the renovation below.
Modern wet rooms are great for a family that want a bath but often don't want a shower bath. The downside will often be the smaller vanity or water splashing but i feel the pros well out weigh the negatives. In Perth it will continue to be a big part of the bathroom renovation we do going forward with slick bathrooms and more practical are the trend.
Probably the most important rule to always remember is that there are no rules for renovating. Whether you elect for complementary or clashing wall and floor tiles, the choice is yours. If there is one overall arching trend it is this, happy living spaces are what everyone is trying to archive. Whether that is making the bathroom clutter free, warm, high tech or full of wow we are trying to make our bathrooms a happy place so the only person who can tell you whats makes that space your own is you.
Its important to note that all our advice is general in nature and all bathrooms are unique so always speak to your local qualified tradesman for the best advice. At on the ball bathrooms we love feedback so let us know what you think with a comment below or if you are looking for a bathroom renovation quote and live in Perth, Western Australia contact us on 0419964678 or email us at email@example.com
