Sakura Lust
Over the course of a year, Kent visited Japanese love hotels and ryokans (a Japanese inn) hoping to capture a kind of intimacy which comes with knowing your subject; the shared amity that allows a certain vulnerability to show through. His capturing of the carnality of sex is brought together with the delicacy which intimacy, no matter the type, intrinsically demands. In some photos, his models are bound and constrained. Yet, his work invariably pays some homage to the delicacy of nature.
Each photo contains a flower or plant of some sort—whether it be printed on a slinking kimono or depicted on a tile in the background of the shot. While these touches are often subtle, Kent brings the concept full circle in photographs where the flower is really the central focus. In one such instance, an asiatic lily is placed innocently between his subject's legs—her body is bathed in red light, adding a somewhat garish feel to something that gives the impression of being demure, despite the actual subject matter.
Kent's hope was to create a feeling of 'escapism' in "Sakura Lust," which is why he chose ryokans and love hotels as his setting. He believes that these inns give the feeling of entering an entirely new world—outside, the individual is a part of the majority- you work, you get coffee with friends, you live a life within the boundaries of another person's life and environment. However, these inns and hotels bring about a sense of isolation. Inside, you can be anyone, you can be no one; inside, you are ephemeral, just like the cherry blossom.
Love and lust, on the other hand, is both transitory and permanent at once. An act of love can happen in an instance, and yet its effects are bound within us, despite how important or unimportant it feels in the moment. In these photos, Kent paints the body as a treasure trove, and sexuality as a driving force for growth. We are at once bound to sex, to love, but Kent shows the softer side -the delicacy- of the erotic. There is a certain fragility and innocence conveyed in the glance of his subjects—there is no lewdness here, but rather a feather-soft elegance.
In these photos, we see the sensuality in lasciviousness, the excitement that exists in a fleeting moment of intimacy, and the self-awareness which sex inevitably requires. In these moments, one exists such as the sakura blossoming in the torrent of emotion and feeling, and the withering and rebirth which ultimately comes after.

Ever since the dawn of TV, we have been viewing, copying and writing down recipes from our favourite celebrity chefs. From Fanny Craddock to Rick Stein, even to Gordon Ramsay's rather intimidating programmes, we love to watch these masters at their work. We all have to eat, so when somebody comes along with easy ideas for us to follow, practical tips to follow and mouth-watering recipes for us to try out, we love them for it. Even if some of the ideas can be a bit out there and perhaps a bit pricy, we can't help but be obsessed by cooking programmes, whether we intend to recreate the recipes or not. Read on to find out about some of the best celebrity chefs out there here!
Mary Berry
As Brits, we can't have any self-respecting list of up-to-date celebrity chefs that inspire us, without including the legend that is Mary Berry. With a fantastic career that has spanned decades and eras, she has been whipping up delicious homemade meals and treats that make our mouths water. She really is a great cook with a fondness for the unique British flavours and dishes that we can call our own, and the simple flavours she leans towards mean her meals are family friendly too. Mary is probably best known for her baking though, and while she has produced many cookery books, it is her baking books that have made her such a household name in the UK. We really love the fact too that she goes all in for seasonal dishes, and she is undeniably the reigning queen of baking in the UK.
Jamie Oliver
Having burst onto the scene some 15 years ago, the fresh-faced lad from Essex wowed us all with his modern and fun approach to cooking that vamped up home-cooked meals into something worthy of a top restaurant. He may have mellowed slightly since his debut when he favoured lashings of olive oil and somewhat pricy ingredients that would be beyond most family's weekly grocery shop, and is best known nowadays for his campaigns to make school meals healthier, stop overfishing and embrace other breeds of fish than cod and tuna, and his easy to follow 30 minute meals. He is also an advocate for home-grown produce, and as shown in his 'Jamie at Home' book with its accompanying series, he's not afraid to get his hands dirty when it comes to growing his own veggies too.
Nigella Lawson
And finally we have the femme fatale of British cooking, the gorgeous Nigella Lawson. With her obvious delight in cooking and appreciation of food along with her sultry tones and glamorous beauty, she made cooking sexy. She really does make sumptuous meals and desserts that are perfect for special occasions when you really want to impress. Nigella is also pretty relatable though, thanks to the fact that she doesn't believe in adding unnecessarily to your workload and that cutting the odd corner here and there is no problem. She has to be one of the most famous chocaholic's in the UK, and we love her for it.

Art Institute Field Trip
Donald Jude
American, 1928-1994
Untitled, 1968
I really liked this piece because it was really simple and clean. The squares were somehow really satisfying to look at because they were perfect and symmetrical. If you looked at this piece from the top, it seemed like the colours were creating an ombre effect. This piece caught my eye initially because it's so geometric and the colour is striking. I really enjoy looking at minimalistic art because of the simplicity.
stop motion project
this is the finished project that fiona and i created. in this project we used a stop motion app to make gummy bears move around the screen. i would like to change the sound and make it fade out at the end but idk how to do that. by doing this project i learned how to use the stop motion app and it was really fun.
fiona and i are almost done with our gummy bear stop motion. the only thing that"s left to do is put music in it. i think this project is really fun and i really like working with the stop motion app. after we finish this project we are going to design advanced media arts sweatpants.
future plans
fiona and i are working on a stop motion using gummy bears. we are using an app called 'stop motion' on my iphone.

Venue: London Road, Peterborough
Attendance: 4,494
Score: Peterborough Utd 1 v Gillingham 0
Referee: Tony Ward.
It was the late, late show at London Road as Posh booked their FA Cup passage via an upright and the involuntary contribution of Gillingham defender Ivan Haines.
Not that Posh leading scorer Nick Cusack would share that view of the last gap winner .
For while the record books will dictate that youngster Haines must carry the can foe his sides FA Cup exit, Cusack will claim, with some justification that he should be credited with the extra time decider.
The former Leicester man met Noel Luke's deep cross in classic fashion at the far post and as the ball cannoned back off the upright, bungling Haines found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time as the ball bounced over the line off his back pedalling frame.
But Cusack himself must take second place in Posh's roll of honour behind keeper Paul Crichton, who kept a clean sheet against all odds.
For as the 20 year old former Forest custodian fumbled his way through the opening stages, few among the London Road crowd were aware of his handicap.
A serious bout of bronchitis had confined Crichton to bed over the weekend and with disposed keeper Joe Neenan nursing a calf strain, the new keeper had to join striker David Longhurst in the queue for pre match painkilling injections.
And despite the occasional lapse, Crichton played his part in securing manager Mick Jones most treasured wish – a clean sheet.
That the tie, still deadlocked after 200 minutes of 'cat and mouse' football, should be decided in such dramatic circumstances was in keeping with the best traditions of the FA Cup.
A little less desirable, however, was Gillingham's Welsh striker Steve Lovell.
Lovell's 106 dismissal after striking referee Tony Ward with the match ball was a thoughtless antic which undoubtedly turned the tables in Posh's favour.
For Lovell had proved the Gills most likely marksman after beating Crichton, but grazing the post, with a 61st minute drive.
Against the Gills ten men, however, Posh suddenly became the favourites, after weathering long spells of pressure from the mid Kent outfit.
The first half was a particularly lacklustre affair, with Goldsmith subdued by the dual presence of Scottish international George Burley and returning former Posh skipper, Trevor Quow.
Hat-trick hero David Longhurst also found the going a little tougher, despite maintaining his high level of work rate.
Bryn Gunn's volley, from an intricately worked 42nd minute free kick, was the closest Posh came to a first half breakthrough, while Gillingham's Mark Cooper,
David Smith and disgraced Lovell all forced Crichton into some unorthodox saves as the Posh keeper battled against his ailment.
The second half belonged to the Gills who kept up their bombardment of the Posh goal for fully half an hour, before surrendering the late initiative to the Posh.
Again it was the striking trio that tested the Posh rearguard on numerous occasions, although a timely intervention from Noel Luke kept out a near certain strike from George Shipley on the hour.
And Shipley, replacing injured midfield ace Gavin Peacock, squandered a second clear chance with the last kick of normal time as he failed to get on the end of Mark Cooper's header from the far post.
Extra time brought few clear cut chances, but with Lovell despatched for his early bath, it always appeared likely that a bizarre ending with settle the outcome.
And after Haines inexperience of such pressures caught him trying a little too hard to keep the Gills goal intact, Posh were in front and Keith Burkenshaw's men, for once, had nothing left to offer.
The Posh: Paul Crichton, Steve Collins, Bryn Gunn, Noel Luke, Gerry McElhinney, Keith Oakes, Gary Andrews, Mick Halsall, Nick Cusack, David Longhurst and Craig Goldsmith.
Unused subs: Carl Madrick and Ashley Carr.
Gillingham: Kite, George Burley, Haylock, Shipley, Ivan Haines, Walker, Cooper, Trevor Quow, Steve Lovell, Docker and Smith.
Unused subs: Lillis and Williams.
Goal scorer: The Posh – Ivan Haines (own goal) 118 mins.
Bookings: Steve Lovell (Gillingham) 25 mins and 106 mins.
Sending off: Steve Lovell (Gillingham) 106 mins – second bookable offence.

Mangaluru Nov 12, 2016: State JD(S) chief HD Kumaraswamy felt that Tanveer Sait gained more importance after he was allegedly caught watching porn during Tippu Jayanthi celebration at Raichur and BJP protest against the same was sidelined.
Addressing media at the circuit house on November 12, Saturday he said that both the parties are busy in playing vote bank politics instead of showing concern towards the problems of the state.
Referring to the controversial Tippu Jayanthi celebration Kumaraswamy said that, was it really required? BJP opposed the celebration but the entire state focus was shifted to Raichur where Tanveer Sait caught watching porn during the program.
Entire state is witnessing several murders for which culprits are still under shell and stringent action should be taken against the accused without politicizing the issue, said Kumaraswamy.
He took potshots on state government for showing lack of concern towards farmer who are facing severe problem and recently state government has submitted report which clearly says that farmers faced huge loss of 16 crores. Siddarammaih visited drought hit area and media reported as it was just a formality as was seen that Chief Minister was not interested to listen to their problem, he added.
Regard to Tanveer Sait row, he said that opposition party are demanding his resignation but he is not ready to give resignation. When BJP members watched porn Siddarmmaih demanded their resignation but today it has been changed and Tanveer should resign.
Mastigudi Movie incident
Kumaraswamy said that, the entire team of Mastigudi movie has took childish decision which claimed two lives of stuntmen. Now on this case producer has been taken to custody but actually production manager should be under bars then stunt director and finally the director. Government should enforce policy regarding dangerous stunts.
Demonetization of 500 and 1000 rupees notes
He lauded PM Narendra Modi for the step but the he failed to follow the right step. Due to the quick decision people led to panic to obtain cash and new notes.

What is Search.hwatchtvnow.co?
Search.hwatchtvnow.co may look like a regular search engine, but it is not. Our cyber security experts have come to the conclusion that it is a browser hijacker due to the way its developers go about distributing it. Removing this search engine is highly recommended because it can end up on your PC without your knowledge. If you do not notice that your browser's homepage has been replaced and use it as a typical search engine, then be warned that it can feature questionable promotional links that can jeopardize your PC's security as they can download links of malicious software. It may also promote scam websites that can be clones of legitimate sites.
What does Search.hwatchtvnow.co do?
Search.hwatchtvnow.co is a simple browser hijacker that enters a computer via a malicious software installer that injects this hijacker into the browser. It replaces the homepage address and in some cases the new tab page. This particular hijacker is set to replace the homepage address if you use Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The purpose for doing so is to make you use it to search the web as it draws Internet traffic to itself. Clearly, its creators want you to use it to search the web, but can you? or, better yet, should you? Researchers say that Search.hwatchtvnow.co redirects all entered search terms to a modified Yahoo search engine. You may get ad-supported results that contain promotional links that may not be labeled as promotions. You might unknowingly enter a promoted website only to find out that it is not what its headline claimed it to be. You may enter fake online shopping sites that may trick you into disclosing your online baking credentials. In short, it can subject you to all kinds of malicious content if you are not careful.
Another important aspect to note is that it will collect anonymous information about you in order to somewhat personalize the promotional links you see. It is outlined in Search.hwatchtvnow.co's privacy policy that it can obtain information such as your browsing history, search terms entered, IP address, Internet Service Provider (ISP) domain name, browser type used, operating system installed, and so on. This hijacker collects this information with the help of browser cookies and web beacons. This information is vital as it can help this hijacker's developers make more money by introducing you to content you may be interested in.
Where does Search.hwatchtvnow.co come from?
Like many of the browser hijackers we write about, Search.hwatchtvnow.co was created by Polarity Technologies, a company allegedly based in Cyprus that is dedicated to making dozens of browser hijackers each month. This company has been doing that consistently for the past year or so and it has resulted in the release of hundreds of hijackers. Among its many releases we see Search.hlocalweatherradar.co, Search.searchlivesportson.com, and Search.searchquickm.com, among others. Therefore, we do not think that this company will slow down any time soon since clandestine search results-based advertising is its bread and butter.
As far as the distribution methods of getting Search.hwatchtvnow.co on to the computer on unsuspecting users are concerned, the developers seem to do a great job at distributing its hijackers, Search.hwatchtvnow.co in particular and others as well. Our research has revealed that Search.hwatchtvnow.co is being included in software bundles featured on Filewon.com, Filewin.com, Malavida.es, and Descargar.es. These shady software distributing websites include this hijacker into their bundles and can install it onto your browser without your knowledge. For this reason, alone, you ought to replace the homepage address because it has been imposed on you.
How do I remove Search.hwatchtvnow.co?
Search.hwatchtvnow.co is nothing more but a browser hijacker aimed at replacing your browser's homepage address in an effort to make use it as a regular search engine and view its ad-supported search results that can feature links to malicious content. To keep your PC out of harm's way, you ought to remove this hijacker. If you want to do that, please see the guide provided below.

The staff/owners at Lincoln Granite were very kind and helpful. Prices were lower than a few other places I had seen. The quality of the finished product was beautiful. Every question I had was answered and other helpful information was offered as well. Such a horrible time in anyone's life to have to shop for a headstone but they understand that and make every effort to help at such a difficult time. I hope I don't have to purchase anymore headstones in the future, but if I do I will go right back to Lincoln Granite.

Even though the bulk of the housing crisis has passed, you'll still find more bank-owned homes than usual for sale across the country. Even in the best of times, there are always a few.
Bank-owned houses in Beverly Hills, usually offer good value for the money. The owner wants them sold and has no emotional attachment to prevent reducing the price if they don't sell quickly. Whether they're right for you depends upon whether you're willing to deal with a bit of clean-up, fix-up, and uncertainty.
Some banks will do initial cleaning, and some will make repairs and other improvements. A few people who lose their homes to foreclosure do consider it a point of honor to leave everything clean and in good condition.
Are the houses in Beverly Hills bank-owned?
However, when you choose to shop for bank-owned houses in Beverly Hills, you should be prepared to spend some time getting the house in shape before you are capable on moving in.
Then there's the uncertainty. This comes from not knowing the home's history.
Because the owner – the bank – has never occupied the home, they aren't required to provide a property condition report. Thus, any lurking problems are yours and your home inspector's to discover.
Next, since no one involved has ever lived there, there's no one who knows all about how to operate the various systems. If the furnace has some quirks – they'll be yours to discover. If you need to find a hidden valve in order to use the sprinkler system, it will be up to you to search for it.
I do have a list of vendors you can call on if the investigation has you stymied.
So before you decide you want to see bank owned houses in Beverly Hills, decide whether you are willing to deal with the uncertainty and whether you need a move-in ready home, or will enjoy the fix-up.
If you want to find out more, stay up-to-date with my blog, and be sure to check out my books on how to sell your home as well.

Okay, not endorsing, I just think it's funny. The firm I work for is doing some of the media and promotional work for CPAC. (Looking forward to the parties, but that's neither here nor there. Nor am I interested in discussing the boycott of some groups. They have their reasons. And I have mine for still being proud to attend. Leave it there.) In any event, we got a call from a media rep working with High Times Magazine about their representative getting credentialed as a media attendee. Fantastic. This of course led to a question of the day and a recollection of the following clip. God Bless America, puff puff give…
Hackers are fun. And sexy. Please, for the love of all that's holy, watch the Volkswagen Vader. Some of the best movie music ever composed. (Go Steelers!)
Seriously New York? Look man, are cigarettes really the most pressing issue up there? Where is a sometime smoker who just wants to be left alone to fail to quit supposed to sneak to for a smoke? Lame.
Awwwww, somebody lost a monkey in Old Town…
George Soros, you're a funny, self-loathing man.
The nephew is already a film star who's contributing to the family income. That's what I said;; don't hate. His mother would prefer that hat were orange with a power "T" but we're doing what we can.
Speaking of haters, this one popped up again recently and MUST BE SHARED. Feel it. And never forget it.
Go girl. Since lately I've been made to feel (again) kinda old and undesirable — yeah, yeah I know. But you work it out when you can. — this is badass. And here's your song lady. I like to thrash around to it. Sometimes in my old combat boots. Seriously.
Finally, the friends are throwing a tropical party at this place Saturday. Because [official invite], "It's the dead of winter. Freezing temperatures. Dirty snow. The summer seems out of reach . . . but is it? Leave your Seasonal Affective Disorder behind and party like you're in the islands. We're talking tropical cocktails with tiny umbrellas, boat drinks, coconut cups, Red Stripes, limbo contests, Bob Marley and Jimmy Buffett tunes, conga lines, leis (if you're lucky . . .)"
Dang Chicago. I am sorry for this. Makes me like you slightly more. Out of pity. But that's all.

Robert Harkness
You can hear a full interview by clicking here.
Robert was born in Wellington, 1913, to a family of 5 children. He was one of twins. I interviewed him in his room at Aspen House, Tauranga in July, 2012. He was in good health for a 99 year old, very lucid and much more like someone in their 60s or 70s than the near century that he was. His age meant he could recall events as far back as the Armistice/ end of hostilities after World War One, the spread of the Spanish Flu Epidemic in Wellington and the Great Depression years. Robert, or Bob as he usually referred to himself as, moved to Tauranga with his young family in 1954. He worked for the Papamoa Quarries, Roberts Concrete Products (building the Wharf until 1962), as well as Bay Fertilisers for 16 years before retiring at 65 years of age.
His parent's Christian beliefs were in his memory central to family life. His Father emigrated from Scotland where he was Scottish Presbyterian and connected with the Brethren in Wellington. His father taught him to play the trumpet, a hobby he kept until the age of 95. As a teenager (1926) Bob worked in the meat works during holiday periods. He went to the Wellington Technical College and did an engineering course before working as an apprentice during the Great Depression to avoid getting the sack. Once qualified however he lost his job due to widespread unemployment. After 3 months of working around the house he heard about a job in the workshop (for the railways) and applied and won the position (May 1934).
Called up for service in the Second World War he was classified as Essential Services and required to stay in New Zealand working on locomotive engines and other railways related work. He recalls feeling relief that he could carry on with his life. Life in New Zealand consisted of long hard working days. Due to labour shortages across the country women moved into many jobs previously held by men. Working nightshifts Bob considered buying a motorbike but instead bought his first car, an Austin. Petrol shortages meant he had to choose carefully when and where he would use it. During these years Bobs first wife made slippers for the soldiers at war. He recalls the men returning bitter from the war in 1946/47, seeing it as a "waste of time".
Bob moved to Tauranga in 1954. He recalls Tauranga as a "cosy little town", "nice and easy". He had two children 9 and 6 when he first moved. Bob remarried as a widower at the age of 70 (pictured)

19 June 2018.
Early morning ride along the southern shore of lake Constance (Bodensee in German) which forms the border between Switzerland and Germany, was so calm after the turbulent river that feeds it, unlike me who woke up in the night with vertigo!
I was horrified of course, and so worried that I would not be able to ride.
Got up on my bike and off I went, no problems so long as I didn't look up!
Very quiet little villages along the way, only builders and road workers to be seen. After an hour of looking out for a coffee bar, eventually pedalled up to a little bakery where two ladies and three dogs sat at my table and we chatted for a while. Gulped down a delicious hot croissant with a cappuccino.
Fantastic choice for bike rides here…
The cycling is going well, I'm getting better at 'handling' the bike, and can almost always manage a u-turn in a small street without falling over.
Zipped passed the ancient city of Constance, pity to miss the medieval part across the river, but went on to Stein-am-Rhine instead to see the frescoes.
A Chinese tour group were being herded by their guide, he was yelling at them to look at this look at that, and they all had their phones up to their faces taking photos of this and that.
The colour of the Rhine is singularly beautiful here, with its shifting emerald greens and turquoise greys. It mesmerises as it swirls along with surging whirlpools while sighing against its banks.
Such a joy to be riding with this enormously famous waterway. Beats washing windows at home.
After lunch in Schaffhausen (a delicious mango-curry-coco soup), I saw the falls at Neuhausen am Rheinfall… Apparently only eels manage to wiggle their way up these falls.
About the body, two noticeable changes happening now that I've reached 1500 kms. My hearing has improved, and my bum has lifted!
Arrived very tired at Waldshut-Tiengen to find my pre-booked motel room in an industrial zone, 3 kms away from any restaurant..
Todays ride – 100kms
Odometer 1510.9
average speed 18kph.

Archives For August 2008
If you read my previous blog about eLearning, then you already know that I have been creating software tools for knowledge capture and sharing (i.e. SCATE Ignite) for over 15 years. Once a college adjunct professor and the Director of Engineering for a large automotive supplier, I have always been amazed by the disconnect between college education, formal corporate training, and on the job knowledge sharing.
All three of these approaches are required to produce the best employees, but unfortunately, due to our culture of empire building, bridging the gap between these elements has been quite difficult.
In addition to running a company I also coach team sports. So let's for a minute compare a company to an athletic team (i.e. football or my favorite ice hockey). To build a strong team, a coach must first find highly trained athletes that possess the fundemental skills. This is like hiring gradutes from college with good grades. Then these players are trained within a system, similar to learning a business process within a company. Finally they are expected to perform as a collective unit, passing (sharing), scoring (completing tasks) and finally winning (closing).
Unfortunately, many companies especially in the US do not run in this manner. It seems that we try to hire the best from college, train them on the business processes and then provide an environment where they build their own little empire. In many cases employees are afraid to share their knowledge with others due to the insecurity of losing their job. I have worked within many environments where one department would not provide adequate information to others just for the sake of losing control. This will kill a company's efficiency and productivity.
Let me ask you this, how many athletes that don't pass the ball or puck make the pros? This is simple..NONE. Successful teams do not often win on the shoulders of one person. It requires working together for the collective success of the team.
So if a business is exactly the same as a team, then how do we get people within a company to work together and share knowledge?
Well first you need to change the company mindset. This needs to be mandated from the top, just like the Coach of any team. If the Coach doesn't push the issue of passing (sharing) the ball (knowledge and information) then the players (employees) will not respond in a coordinated team effort.
Secondly, once mandated, a company needs a process and system where employees can easily share knowledge. Wiki's and Learning Management system's (LMS) are good, however, with the emergence of social networking technology like the knowledge and media sharing sites igniteCAST.com, chrysler.ignitecast.com, the industry is raising the bar.
Finally companies need to recognize and reward employees that make conscious effort to contribute and share their knowledge.
Funny concept..rewarding people for working together, instead of just for their individual accomplishments!
I welcome your comments.

Last year, I got the opportunity to play hockey against the Red Wing Alumni at Joe Louis Area. George Bowman, one of the goalies from the alumni helped to organize the event. My company SCATE Technologies, Inc. sponsored the event and we also launched a new piece of software called www.mysplake.com. I also invited most of my close friends and co-workers from (Canada, England and the US) to either play or watch us get smoked. Even though they beat us 13-11 (they were toying with us) we had excellent time of great hockey, good people, cold beer, good food and live music at the Olympia room.
With growing up in Ontario, Canada, I always supported the Toronto Maple Leaf (please no laughing). But let me tell you, after that experience I have to say the Red Wing organization is a class act. I actually supported the Red Wings for the first time this season (2007-8 season), but unlike the Leafs, they did not let me down. What a great season it was!
We will be launching new software products this fall so look out Red Wing Alumni SCATE and I want a rematch. HAHA

The decision to move to a new office is not always connected with the expansion of the company or the reduction of staff. Size does matter, but this is not the only argument. It is an important strategic step to choose a location for your company. Moving means finding a place that matches your financial, marketing and other goals. In other words, this is an important factor for successful business development. Are you looking for such a location in Kyiv? You can find more information about different offers from landlords at the A-Office website.
Indicators of a need for relocation
We have prepared a list of the main reasons for moving to a new business center in the center of Kyiv to help you make the right decision.
Insecure nature of the area. If your office has an unfavorable location, it may cause some problems with employment of professional. This is especially relevant to companies that require highly specialized specialists. A good area is important for customers. Therefore, it is better to rent an office in BC, located closer to the central part of the city and the lively places.
Damage to reputation. The loft in the bohemian style can be an ideal place to start. But if is a growing company, the office must also change. Choosing a location that does not match the company's image can damage its reputation. It is worth choosing an office in the business center, which will make an impression of the solidity and stability of your company.
Outdated services. Are you satisfied with the quality of services provided in the business center? How do they meet the needs of employees and customers? Obsolete buildings can cause a risk to health.
Lack of new repairs, slow internet, lack of parking spaces, poor heating and water supply clearly indicate the need for relocation.
Market changes. Perhaps in another area there are new opportunities for business development. In this case, relocation can be useful on a long-term horizon.
Dissatisfied team. Happy employees are productive employees. If your staff is dissatisfied with your work environment, it's time to make changes.
Prohibition of repairs. Some landlords do not allow their customers to do repairs and even set forth such a provision in the agreement. If you need to improve the workspace and cannot agree on this, it's time to look for a new location.
High costs. You may need significant savings to offset additional costs. This is especially true for small businesses.
Reducing the cost of rent and utilities by moving to a more economical office can be justified.
Wrong size. Labor productivity drops dramatically in crowded offices. Too much space means that you pay for something that is not used.

Google urges attendees to wear 'pronoun stickers' at developers conference
Google's annual developers conference i/o 2018 starts Tuesday, and many are sharing on Twitter that attendees are being encouraged to wear "pronoun stickers."
ABC 7's reporter Matt Keller posted a photo on Twitter of a station at the conference check-in with stickers reading "they," "him" and "her" and a sign reading, "We care about your pronouns. Add a sticker to your badge to share with others which ones you prefer."
Others on Twitter applauded Google for offering the stickers.
"Thanks #googleio2018 for the pronoun stickers at check in," tweeted Julia Grebenstein.
"Are those pronoun stickers official? That's an awesome idea!" David Lyons tweeted.
"Yay pronoun stickers! #io18" chimed in Russell Holly.
ALSO: Does your job make you sign a 'Love Contract'? The complications of dating in the tech bubble
Pronoun stickers are becoming increasingly common at conferences to foster inclusiveness and reduce instances of misgendering.
The American Association of Physics Teachers uses the stickers at its conferences, for example.
A sign at a March 2017 meeting said these stickers "make it easy for people to communicate their pronoun sets to others, especially for people who use uncommon pronouns or who have recently changed which pronouns they use."
Twitter users have also noted over the past year that the stickers have been offered at events ranging from a Salesforce gathering to the Global Digital Humanities Symposium.

Kenya's Rugby Sevens team have made history after winning their first ever title in the HSBC World Series
Benjamin Ayimba's side, inspired by two-try hero Collins Injera and sponsored by Kenya Airways, beat leaders Fiji 30-7 in Singapore to put their name on the rugby map.
It was a memorable occasion for the team, and the country, because it has taken 115 tournaments and 629 matches to make it happen. Kenya have reached the finals once before – losing to England in Wellington in 2013 – but have never lifted silverware.
This time, however, led by captain Andrew Amonde and assisted by brothers Collins Injera and Humphrey Kayange, they proved unstoppable.
A fresh approach
It has been an incredible turnaround for the team under new coach Ayimba, who took over the team in 2015 following a frustrating campaign the previous year. With seven members of the squad under the age of 24, their future looks bright – especially with an Olympics to look forward to in Rio in August. Certainly in the National Stadium in Singapore they looked stronger than ever. The underdogs had a game plan – and it worked.
Having beaten France in the quarter-finals and Argentina in the semis they scored the opening try through Oscar Ayodi and never looked back.
Injera added two more tries (the 224th and 225th of his career), which leaves him tantalisingly close to the all-time record of Argentina's Santiago Gomez Cora.
Substitutes Nelson Oyoo – who ran the length of the pitch – and Frank Wanyama added tries to complete an incredible victory typified by hard work and incredible fitness.
Kayange said: "What a way to win it! Fiji has been a top side all season and coming into this game we knew it would be tough – but we fancied our chances and got the win in the end. It is a big moment for Kenya."
World Sevens top try scorers
1 Santiago Gomez Cora (Argentina) 230
2 Collins Injera (Kenya) 225
3 Ben Gollings (England) 220
4 Dan Norton (England) 205
5 Fabian Jurie (South Africa) 179
Quick chat with Collins Injera
Voted player of the tournament at the Singapore Sevens
Q What an incredible achievement for Kenya Rugby! What does it mean to the team and the country?
It means a lot. Kenyan rugby has come a long way and getting one over on Fiji is really special. Especially as we won our first title. We've waited a long time.
Q You beat a good team in the final, too…
Exactly. Right now they are the strongest team. They are leading the championship but we kept believing.
Q What about you personally? What did it mean for you?
It felt awesome. It's always been one of my goals to win one of the legs, and now it's happened. We've really worked hard. We reached the final in 2013 and lost it, and coming into this one, we had to prepare well and believe that we were going to win it. The boys deserved it.
Q You have a chance to become the all-time top try scorer in Sevens history. Is that your next focus?
Winning the final meant more to me than the tries. I'm not focused on them because the ultimate goal is to medal at the Olympics later this year. It's a big year for Kenya.
"It was a long, hard battle. We got to the final and sniffed the win, and we just played hard. We kept to our guns and kept on pressing, and the results came our way."
Captain Andrew Amonde
"You have made us proud, our star continues to shine as a powerhouse in sports. A brilliant, confident and powerful effort has earned Team Kenya a richly deserved victory."
President Uhuru Kenyatta
"I don't think it has sunk in, it will take a few hours – probably when I get a proper look at the trophy."
Kenya coach Benjamin Ayimba

Our planet's future is one of the biggest concerns of 2019. There are a lot of articles about it on social medias and newspapers, we heard about it on every platform… But we often feel helpless. What can we really do to avoid worst-case scenarios?
Of course, there are somethings for which we don't have power over… Governments and big enterprises have it when it comes to laws or large-scale pollution.
At OLA Bamboo, we truly believe that every gesture is important and if everybody is doing their part, we can reduce pollution, especially plastic pollution. Our power, as individual, is to choose how and what we buy. So… Use it!
Which is why, we opt for an eco-friendly toothbrush like the OLA Bamboo's. The handle can be composted, which is great! You only have to pull out the bristles with pliers or break head before throwing the handle in the compost; the other part will go in the garbage.
We choose great quality nylon for our toothbrushes's bristles… because the first purpose of a toothbrush is a good brushing! By the way, the only bristles that are actually compostable are made from wild boar's hairs… For us it is NOT an option! And about bioplastic bristles… It's still plastic! This bioplastic is controversial because there will always remain micro particles in the environment and they'll enter the food chain. On the top of that, bioplastic isn't the best for cleaning your teeth!

Zanac is a famous and very difficult vertical shooter created by Compile in 1986. It was a very revolutionary game which is based off of the Aleste games (Some early Compile games) and also added several mechanics. One of the most notable aspects of Zanac is the game's AI.
Note: This is a by memory approximation.
Zanac involves the fight of a lone fighter sent out to destroy an ancient alien battle system.
When humanity traveled into space and explored, they happened to find an ancient artifact that they attempted to decipher. After some time, several members of the expedition decided to force the artifact to activate by firing upon it, which unknown to them, activated an ancient battle system set up by the creators of the artifact to punish those who used violence to solve the riddle of the artifact.
In time, the battle system located Earth and attacked it mercilessly with the goal to destroy humanity. However, other scientists eventually solved the artifact's riddle and discovered that the artifact was a method of communication for other races. If the artifact was deciphered via peaceful methods and analysis, then it would reveal all the data that the aliens had. If however the artifact was attacked in an attempt to get the data by force, then it would activate the battle computer and target the offending race with the mission to eliminate all of that race.
With the correct activation of the artifact, the battle system should have deactivated but it did not. Due to many years of deactivation, the program degraded and once it activated it could not be stopped. However, the alien data also told of the battle system's operation, which explained a potential weakness.
The battle system was designed to attack large battleships and obliterate fleets. It was also able to endure long battles, where it would release waves of ships for counter-defense. Based on this, it was determined that a small but very powerful fighter might be able to penetrate the battle system's defenses and destroy it. Thus the AFX-6502-ZANAC fighter was born and the story begins.
Zanac pits the player against numerous waves of enemies and several bases that sometimes need to be destroyed in order to continue. The weapons system is exactly like the Aleste series in that you can collect powerups with numbers that represent different weapon types. Each time you collect the same type, it gets upgraded and gets more powerful. Also, there are powerups that increase the power of your main gun. Where Zanac branches off of Aleste is the many secrets in the game and most notably, the game AI which changes based on several factors. It is noted as being one of the most sophisticated AI's to date in a game.
As stated before, weapons in Zanac come in the form of numbered powerups that when the same type is collected multiple times, the weapon becomes powered up. Most weapons either have a limited number of uses or is timed. Picking up a powerup resets this limit to max. Your main gun has 4 levels of power, with the last one being more of a secret and is the best type to get. Below are the different weapon types and their maximum level.
- Main Gun - Level 4
- 0 - All Range Cannon - Level 3
- 1 - Straight Crusher - Level 5
- 2 - Field Shutter - Level 5
- 3 - Circular - Level 5
- 4 - Vibrator - Level 5
- 5 - Rewinder - Level 10
- 6 - Plasma Flash - Level 4 (Level 5 is a one time special)
- 7 - High Speed - Level 5
The game AI is the most interesting aspect of Zanac and will make every game experience different due to it's sophistication. The AI adapts to many aspects of the player, for example what weapons the player has and what level they are. Most importantly, if the player fires more, the AI reacts by sending more powerful enemies. The AI is designed to exploit any potential weakness in the player's current weapons and also how much of a threat the player presents due to the amount of shots fired and the power of the current weapons. This means that very few things are static in the game. The AI's difficulty can be lowered under several conditions, one being the destruction of a SART, a type of enemy that occasionally files along the sides of the screen then darts back up. On that note, the AI reacts very violently on the use of the Field Shutter and will send out many waves of enemies in an attempt to destroy the shield and the player.
Various SecretsEdit
Zanac is filled with many secrets and makes for a very good experience to get them. Listed below are the types of secrets in Zanac and a short description of them.
Main Gun Level 4Edit
There are two ways of getting the main gun to level 4. The first way is to activate an Eye-Eye, which will also powerup your weapon to max. If you use this method, be sure the main gun is level 3 or else the next gun powerup you collect will revert the main gun to level 0-2. The next method is to collect 32 main gun powerups without switching weapons and dying.
Blue LandersEdit
The Lander is an icon for Compile, stemming from some of their earlier games. In Zanac, it gives you a 1-up and is gotten by destroying SARTs and weapon carriers. This is not exactly a random event for there is a complex scoring scheme designed around how many shots are fired from the main gun, your other weapons, and the score.
In order to earn 2 Landers in the beginning, shoot the first SART and nothing else using only your secondary weapon. The second Lander is earned by shooting nothing after the first Lander and once again shooting the SART with only the secondary weapon.
Red Landers and Bullet LimitEdit
Red Landers not only give the player a 1-up, but also lowers the bullet limit, which allows the main gun to fire more frequently. There are 6 levels of the bullet limit and at max, this can make the main gun the most powerful weapon in the game. In order to get the Red Lander, simply shoot the Blue Lander until it turns red. Another small benefit is instead of moving to the top of the screen, the Red Lander moves towards the bottom, making it easy to get.
Level 5 Plasma FlashEdit
Level 5 of the Plasma Flash is a one time use weapon. In terms of firing, it is exactly like the earlier levels in that a ball is released and when it hits something, almost everything is destroyed. What's so special about this one is that once it flashes, any enemy that was destroyed by the Plasma Flash turns into Blue Landers! Using this in places of high enemy/block concentration can help get the bullet limit up to max and net many lives.
Fairies and Eye-EyesEdit
Fairies are a very special type of "powerup". When they are released, they are blue and do nothing but slowly move upwards. Once touched, they act as a screen clearer and also follow the ship around. Once you reach a boss, the Fairy instantly destroys the boss.
Eye-Eyes are a special panel type. When deactivated they are blue and turn red when shot enough times. These when activated, instantly increase your main gun to level 4 and also increase your secondary weapon to max.
There are certain screen-clearer panels that look like a smiling face instead of just the eyes. When shot enough times, they release a screen cleaner as normal, but if you wait a short time, the middle becomes hollow. If touched at this time, you warp, usually to the next area. There is one stage where warping can actually put you in an earlier area.

I met up with my old friend, "Sam", last week. He was walking his bike up the street, a large bag draped over the handle bars. Sam is about my age, with sun hardened skin and strands of mid length hair pulled back in a tail. He is a generous man, affable and open hearted. He is also a binner, sleeps rough most of the time and, in his own words, usually "drunk as a skunk." I've known him for about sixteen years. Sam is always kind to me, gives me writing advice and once he defended my honour. I like him a lot.
Although it is doubtful he could be diagnosed with a mental health issue, Sam hangs with those who have one: they are the most honest people, he says, good people; you know where they stand. These friends provide him with companionship but also stress and concern; our conversation was filled with both laughter and poignancy as he described recent events. He keeps a look out when buddies go missing or run away in fear; provides food and shelter when he can and is more than willing to share a swig. He offered me a bike once, a dumpster find that needed but few repairs. Security guards and the cops in my neighbourhood know him and give him latitude, shop owners provide him with food for labour done and, ever so often, he tells me of a house sitting job. I gave him a gift certificate one Christmas to a food store. It embarrassed him—he works for his pay.
I am continually amazed at his ingenuity and his willingness to share and yet, I would never invite him home for a cup of tea. There is this fine line, no, I lie, a concrete barrier between him and me. It is not based on class or riches, job status or even alcohol. (Okay, the alcohol does influence my position but he is not always that drunk). The substances that make up this barrier, in fact, are mutable. Some days it is because I fear he may bring bed bugs into my apartment (although I have never seen him scratch); other times it is because he is slightly dirty and still others, a fear of future neediness. But once again, this excuse has no foundation, he has always been respectful of my boundaries.
As I sit here writing I am not quite sure that I even know my truth; like the barriers between Sam and I, that truth is fickle. Perhaps I don't invite him in because I don't want to feel obliged. Once invited, the door is open: there is no reason, in my convoluted mind, to bar the entrance again. I will never have peace in my sanctuary—always waiting for the door bell to ring. But that screams out poor boundaries on both our parts and I know that ignoring phone calls or door chimes is not unfamiliar to me.
It is interesting to look at those invisible walls that can lie between us and those in our community. I have friends at work that I don't see outside the job and I am pretty certain I will not trade phone numbers when I quit. Then there are the shop keepers and clerks, and, vice versa, those I serve as a cashier. I have great conversations with some of these people while errands are done but I find a slight discomfort when I find myself next to them on the bus. It is almost akin to a one-night stand: intimate knowledge of the other's body (or what they like to buy) but practical ignorance in how the person thinks or feels. What does one say when you are out of your proscribed roles?
Perhaps it is the idea that close friends have been through the ringer while passing acquaintances have not. You both know who the other is. You have experienced (and accepted) most of their personas—and they yours—compromises have been made; tolerances expanded. There is an implicit agreement that you are in it for the long run. With store clerks and work buddies you know your time together is limited and the space constrained. Here, too, compromises are made and tolerance expanded but only because you don't have to live with them or have them over for coffee.
But all this doesn't really explain why I keep Sam at arm's length. Perhaps, I just dont want to be reminded that we are all just ill-fated moments away from living on the street. Then again, maybe it is just my fear of intimacy: do I really want/need another friend who knows me more than I would like?
After a while I told Sam I had to go. Our visit was drawing to a natural close anyway but something else was pulling me away. Although I wouldn't have been able to articulate it that day, in retrospect, I think a part of me was questioning who this man was and what he meant to me. What was my responsibility to him?
As we readied to go, I asked for our usual hug. Our arms wrapped around each other. It was a solid, almost fierce hug.
Thinking back on that short moment in time, I wonder if therein lies the answer. Perhaps our relationship is fine as it stands; perhaps it is enough.

Revis put out a request for us to argue for Fiction's Greatest Archer, and finally determine who is the best of the best with a bow and arrow. What follows is my rambling argument for the character I believe to be the winner in this contest. And, it isn't too late to submit your own entry if you disagree with my choice.
How do we define "greatest?" And what makes someone an "archer?"
It would be easy to spout off names that exemplify great archers: Robin Hood, William Tell, Hawkeye, Green Arrow, etc… I'd say with the divorce rate at its current percentage, perhaps Cupid is no longer as great an archer as he used to be. Right? Anyway, the point is that our legends are full of people who knew how to knock an arrow and fire it straight and true to great effect.
Perhaps, then, we could argue that being a great archer isn't really all that great on its own? So, shall we delve deeper into these characters to see what makes them each stand out more than others of the same skill?
Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor, while tormenting an evil sheriff and thwarting the nefarious plots of a prince. Hawkeye and Green Arrow are nearly peerless in their shooting abilities and have saved countless lives while stopping the efforts of villains the world over. I'd argue that their efforts in saving the world should place them higher on the list than Robin Hood, and I'm sure you'd agree.
However, neither of them are the greatest fictional archer.
Tanis Half-Elven, of Krynn, gets that distinction. Not only is he an exceptional archer, not only did he use his skills to help save his world, but he also took on the leadership role in the small group of heroes that led the efforts to overthrow the dark forces swallowing their world, and he helped bring the knowledge of the true gods back to the people at the same time, while also learning to excel with several different weapons besides his favored bow.
He fought dragons. He faced the Queen of Darkness. He inspired courage when all hope seemed to be lost. He did so humbly, reluctant to be leading others, reluctant to be seen as a hero. But, he was a hero through his actions and his willingness to sacrifice everything for his friends and loved ones in the pursuit of justice, fairness, righteousness, and in the end, he gave his life in those very endeavors.
If Green Arrow or Hawkeye ever give their lives in their battles against evil, then perhaps they could then be considered alongside Tanis as the greatest fictional archer, but until that time, Tanis stands alone.
Not entirely alone… I have no doubt a certain Kender has found a way to keep his friend company…
If you like any of the fantasy I write here in the Kingdom, and you have not already read the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, perhaps you should. Those three books (and the rest of the stories involving the characters introduced in those books) are arguably my greatest writing influence. In other words, if you like my magic stories, you should read these as well.

The first Congento Annual Meeting took place on October 11th and gathered 45 people at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC). The participants were managers, technicians, caretakers, vets, and researchers, from different backgrounds and different institutes, sharing the same keen interest in developing a comprehensive infrastructure to support research using genetically tractable organisms.
Jocelyne Demengeot, IGC PI and member of the Congento Steering Committee, opened the event with a travel through the history and the roots of the infrastructure – a dream that has existed for more than 10 years – and revealing some glimpses into future perspectives.
Lluis Montoliu, an invited speaker from CSIC, Madrid, presented us his views regarding animal experimentation and genome editing, with a focus on applications, challenges, and transparency. Following this, Ana Mena, head of the IGC science communication and outreach team, talked about strategies to disseminate research projects with animal models – to media and laypeople- based on what is currently done in the institute.
This first session was followed by a session of short talks by the participants that had a chance to present some of the work developed in their facilities. Covering different models and topics (from training to cryopreservation), this session raised a lot of interest, and it was a well-taken opportunity to share knowledge and to discuss new synergies.
After lunch, networking and visiting the IGC animal facilities, it was time for the working groups to present the work developed during the first year of the project. Achievements, challenges and future directions were presented and originated a fruitful debate.
Following the meeting, the coordinators still found time to sit together and further deepen some of the topics discussed throughout the day.
Overall, this meeting was an important moment to reinforce the Consortium spirit and strengthen bonds for an evergrowing and prolific collaboration.

Symmetry and asymmetry: the method of moving spheres
Qinian Jin, YanYan Li, and Haoyuan Xu
This paper consists of two parts. The first part concerns a question raised by Véron on the symmetry property of positive solutions of the semilinear elliptic equation $$ \Delta u+\frac{c}{|x|^2} u +u^{(n+2)/(n-2)}=0 \quad \mbox{in } \mathbb {R}^n\setminus \{0\}. $$ The second part concerns some nonlinear elliptic equations on the unit sphere ${\mathbb S}^n$. By the method of moving spheres and the global bifurcation theory, we obtain various symmetry, asymmetry, and non-existence results.
