Tiny timber cabin opens up to the French countryside
Kyoto-based architecture 2m26 used locally sourced materials to build a peaceful tiny timber cabin tucked into the French countryside. At just 376 square feet, La Petite Maison is compact, but floor-to-ceiling glass panels, multiple sliding glass doors and an open courtyard strategically connect the home's interior to its quaint surroundings, making it feel vast. Located in the picturesque countryside of Guitinières in southwestern France, the tiny cabin was built onsite. From the onset, the architects were inspired to create a small, minimalist living space that blended seamlessly into its natural surroundings. Related: Transparent, prefab tiny cabin offers the best views of the Italian Alps La Petit Maison boasts a strategic design that makes it feel much more open and spacious than its square footage would lead one to believe. Made out of locally sourced materials , the square frame is crafted from light Douglas fir. The frame is elevated off the landscape with small concrete piles to reduce its site impact as much as possible. In order to open up the tiny home, which is designed to be a guest house, the architects decided to use multiple massive panels of glass to usher in views of the idyllic countryside. Several sliding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with natural light and blur the line between the indoors and outdoors. Additionally, guests can enjoy spending time in the open-air courtyard that sits between the living space and the exterior. The minimalist interiors feature sparse furnishings. Made out of the same locally sourced wood as the structure, the furniture inside the tiny timber cabin is completely utilitarian, with just enough pieces for seating, dining and sleeping. Although the interior design is completely free of any sort of frivolous amenities, the guest house provides visitors with a relaxing, no-frills place to disconnect from stress while reconnecting with nature. + 2m26 Images via 2m26

Marc Thorpe designs live/work buildings built from earth bricks
Comments Off on Marc Thorpe designs live/work buildings built from earth bricks
New York-based architecture studio Marc Thorpe Design has unveiled renderings for the Dakar Houses, a series of live/work spaces for the artisans of furniture brand Moroso, located on the outskirts of the Senegalese capital of Dakar. Designed with compressed earth bricks, a common building material in western Senegal, the multipurpose units take inspiration from the local architectural vernacular. The economical earth bricks also have the advantage of thermal mass to provide comfortable indoor temperatures without artificial heating or cooling. Created to house Moroso's Dakar-based artisans, the Dakar Houses will consist of two apartments that flank a central workshop for manufacturing the furniture brand's decade-old line of handcrafted and brightly colored outdoor furnishings. In echoing the furniture line's celebration of local craftsmanship, the Dakar Houses also pay homage to building materials and techniques common to the West African region. Related: Ancient green building technique helps ease West Africa housing crisis "The intention was to create a work-based community allowing a village to develop around a central economic constituent," Marc Thorpe Design explained. "The units are designed to house the workers as well as various parts of the manufacturing process of M'Afrique's furniture , such as the handicraft work of welding and weaving. The apartments would be designed based on the required space for each individual family." Each unit comprises three volumes — two apartments and a central workspace — that are staggered to create favorable solar shading conditions. Steeply pitched roofs top the minimalist units, which are left unadorned to emphasize the earth bricks. Made from local soil, the bricks are cured over several weeks. Next, they are soaked in water each morning, then baked in the sun beneath a tarp until they are ready for construction. During the day, the earthen walls absorb heat to provide a cool indoor environment; at night, that heat is slowly dissipated and warms the air. + Marc Thorpe Design Images via Marc Thorpe Design

New guest home in Estonia uses a weathered metal facade to blend into ancient castle ruins

Comments Off on New guest home in Estonia uses a weathered metal facade to blend into ancient castle ruins
Visitors to the the ruins of a 14th-century castle in Vastseliina, Estonia will now have a beautiful place to stay in this beautiful guest home by Estonian architects, Kaos Architects . The Pilgrims' House was clad in a weathered steel to compliment the ancient ruins of a 14th-century castle. Located in southeastern Estonia, the complex is a medieval setting with the ruins of a 14th century castle and an old pub house tucked into the rolling green hills and valleys adjacent to the Piusa river. When tasked with designing a guest home for the unique space, the bucolic atmosphere prompted the architects to create something that would be modern and comfortable, but that would blend in seamlessly with the landscape as well as the older buildings on site. Related:Modern gabled guesthouse embraces passive solar in Australia Along with the idyllic landscape, the architects were also inspired by the castle's long history . After a miracle was reported to have taken place there in 1353, the castle complex became a popular pilgrimage destination. Although in ruins today, the site is used as an "experience center" to welcome guests who would like to experience the medieval way of life. To create the new addition to the complex , the architects tucked the Pilgrims' House into a deep slope in the landscape so that it would not block the view of the castle ruins. Partially hidden by bushes and trees, the center's weathered metal facade was intentionally used so that it would compliment the red brick and granite of the ruins. On the interior of the building, the design went medieval through and through. High ceilings and wooden doors, brick floors and secret niches create a vibrant, fresh interior with plenty of medieval features such as the steel chandeliers. Various small windows are reminiscent of early castles, offering scenic views while providing the utmost in privacy. In one room, a jet black wall showcases white graphics that were inspired by old engravings, featuring the area's long history. Guests will enjoy a stay in the Pilgrim's House where the personnel is dressed in medieval clothing and serve traditional fare. Although the guest rooms are quite humble, they do have hints of modern comforts such as a claw foot bathtub and simple Scandinavian-inspired furniture . + KAOS Architects Via Archdaily Photography by Terje Ugandi and Maris Tomba via KAOS Architects

Comments Off on This luxurious tiny home is powered by Southern Californian sunshine
Who says a tiny house can't be luxurious? Certainly not David Latimer and Taylor Mallon of New Frontier Tiny Homes, designers of this comfortable and alluring solar-powered tiny home. The contemporary farmhouse style of the Orchid House allows for off-grid living without sacrificing comfort, and it is entirely powered by solar energy. Though it was built in Nashville, the Orchid House currently resides on an undeveloped piece of property in Southern California . The owner is an LA-based artist who decided a tiny house was the best option for the remote space. The structure is built on wheels, so it can be moved easily for relocation or emergencies (like wildfires, from which it recently had to be saved). Related: Breathtakingly beautiful tiny home is surprisingly luxurious inside The structure is wholly powered by the famous Southern Californian sunshine. Both the siding and the roof of the house are made of the same dimensional cedar. The designer used an intricate process to give the roof a floating appearance inspired by Scandinavian architecture . The inside walls and ceiling of this beautiful tiny home are made of maple plywood, except for inside the bathroom, which is made entirely of tile and mirrors. The floor is solid oak and all the furniture is walnut. New Frontier Tiny Homes custom-built all of the furniture except for the kitchen table and chairs, which are from West Elm. A combination of floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights brings natural light into the entire dwelling. A garage door allows for the opening up of the entire wall as well, so there's a sense of openness between the interior and the natural environment outside. The designers' love of clean lines inspired the storage, which is completely hidden. The open-floor plan makes room for a guest area, and the loft has space for a lavish king-sized bed. The restroom features a full-sized shower and "The Rolls Royce of non-flushable toilets ," according to the designers. The incinerator toilet ensures there are no pesky sewer or septic systems for the property, making it both uncomplicated and environmentally friendly. As gorgeous as this home looks during the day, it is just as breathtaking at night. Inspired by a total solar eclipse witnessed in 2017, the designers used valence LED lighting strips to create a lovely glowing effect around the light fixtures and front porch. Each lighting strip can be dimmed and has a separate switch. + New Frontier Tiny Homes Via Dwell Photography by StudioBuell Photography via New Frontier Tiny Homes

Greenhouse gas emissions rose during 2018 after three year decline
Comments Off on Greenhouse gas emissions rose during 2018 after three year decline
After a solid decline for the past three years, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United States rose in 2018. According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), power generation, natural gas and oil consumption resulted in an emissions increase of 3.4 percent, marking the second largest annual gain since 1996. The only year that emissions increased at a more significant rate was 2010, when emissions went up 3.6 percent after a huge recession-driven decline the year before. Even though a record number of coal-fired power plants closed last year, natural gas replaced the majority of the lost generation rather than instead renewables — and also fed the demand for electricity growth. The result of using natural gas over renewables meant a 1.9 percent increase in power sector emissions. However, the biggest source of emissions for the third year in a row was the transportation sector due to the growing demand for diesel and jet fuel that offset a noticeable decline in gasoline consumption. Related: University of Waterloo has created a CO2 powder which could help fight climate change Because of unusual cold weather in the beginning of 2018, the building and industrial sectors also showed significant emissions gains. But, there has also been very little progress in these sectors when it comes to decarbonization strategies. In the United States, CO2 emissions from fossil fuels peaked back in 2007 at approximately 6 billion tons, but thanks to the great recession and the switch in power generation from coal to natural gas, wind and solar, emissions fell by 12.1 percent (an average of 1.6 percent per year) between 2007 and 2015. Yet in the last couple of years the pace of emissions decline has slowed down. Not to mention, the lack of a proper climate change policy will leave the U.S. at risk of putting the Paris Agreement reduction goals (26-28 percent cut below 2005 levels by 2025) out of reach. + Rhodium Group Image via cwizner

California's "Skip the Slip" bill pushes for digital receipts
Comments Off on California's "Skip the Slip" bill pushes for digital receipts
A legislator in the California Assembly has introduced a bill that, if passed, would require retailers to make digital receipts the default instead of paper. California Assemblymember Phil Ting (D – San Francisco) has introduced AB 161 , nicknamed "Skip the Slip." If it becomes law, it would be the first of its kind in the United States. According to Green America , each year up to 10 million trees in the U.S. are used to make the paper for receipts, and the process takes 21 billion gallons of water. The receipts also produce a ton of waste — nearly 686 million pounds. If the state of California decides to skip the paper receipts, it will save 12 billion pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) from being released into the atmosphere, which is the equivalent of one million cars on the road. Related: 86% of teens in study have traces of BPA in their bodies In recent years, paper receipts have gotten longer and longer, thanks to the addition of coupons and member rewards programs. The length is not the only problem. According to the Ecology Center, approximately 93 percent of paper receipts are coated with BPA or BPS to help make them legible. Green America said, "When we touch receipts, the chemical coating is absorbed into our bodies through our hands in mere seconds." There are documented connections between BPA and developmental and neurological problems. Researchers at the New York State Department of Health said that BPA also impacts fetal development, and it is linked to reproductive problems, type 2 diabetes and thyroid conditions. Beth Porter, Green America's climate and recycling director, said that this new legislation would prevent millions of trees from being logged for paper receipts, and it will make California a leader on the issue. Some innovative companies are already doing their part to lessen the environmental impact and reduce the health risks that come with paper receipts. Businesses like Best Buy, Starbucks and Whole Foods Market are already offering digital receipts, and card readers for smartphones are also offering paperless transactions. + AB 161 Via Treehugger and Green America Image via Shutterstock

One for Hundred a furniture company that grows more wood than it uses
Comments Off on One for Hundred a furniture company that grows more wood than it uses
One for Hundred , an Austrian furniture company, was founded on the belief that creating furniture doesn't have to go hand-in-hand with destroying forests . With this philosophy in mind, Anna and Karl Philip Prinzhorn — the founders of One for Hundred — decided to plant 100 trees for every piece of wooden furniture that they sell. The decision about where to plant the trees and harvest the wood for the furniture was an easy one, because it all comes from the company's own forest just outside of Vienna that has been in the family for seven generations, spanning ownership for more than 200 years. Because of this personal connection, the designers place emphasis on maintaining the health of a diverse blend of trees in the forest. Their goal is to use the trees to make quality wood pieces while simultaneously preserving the forest for the next generation. Related: Karton creates ultra-durable cardboard furniture for every room in your home While other manufacturers harvest and ship internationally, One for Hundred spins the sustainability dial way up with short forest-to-workshop travel requirements. In fact, the master craftspeople are located a short distance from the forest where the trees are harvested. Cut in the winter, the wood is sent to the craftspeople and dried for months before being turned into unique furniture pieces. Each piece of furniture is customizable to suit the customer's preference of size, wood choice and color. Wood options include ash, oak, walnut, cherry, larch and maple. The One for Hundred furniture also includes the ability to be flat-packed, offering a storage solution and reducing shipping costs. The furnishings have a sleek, Scandinavian vibe with models including coffee and side tables, wall shelving, benches and media storage cabinets. The tree-to-table efforts of One for Hundred are being widely recognized, as can be seen in the company's recent invitation to the Vienna Design Week 2018 as well as the Blickfang Vienna Fair. With a focus on the future as well as the present, Anna and Karl Philip hope to inspire sustainability in an industry often criticized as anything but. + One for Hundred Via Dwell Images via One for Hundred

Comments Off on Penda unveils a futuristic micro-cabin inspired by Beijings hutongs
The micro-apartment concept has been sweeping cities around the world due to overcrowding and rising housing prices. But out of the need to provide solutions for urban housing issues, some designers are looking toward the future. Known for its innovative housing concepts, Penda has just unveiled the MINI Living Urban Cabin, designed to achieve "maximum quality of living within a minimum space" by forgoing walls almost completely. The 160-square-foot, pod-like cabin is a futuristic, circular volume with a sleek, white facade. Designed as a temporary living space, the micro-apartment was conceptualized to offer a high degree of flexibility within a compact, open-air structure. Related: Penda unveils temporary nature-filled "village" for the Beijing Horticultural Expo Penda co-founding partner and architect Sun Dayong sought inspiration for the design in Beijing's architectural history , specifically the city's beloved hutongs. By putting a modern take on traditional Beijing architecture, the open-air cabin is meant to connect the residents to the community. The cabin features various volumes jutting out from the upper layer of the structure. Lined in a reflective gold cladding, these volumes have cut-outs that give the structure a playful, futuristic appearance but also allow natural light to filter into the living space. Inside, the design is divided into two living areas on either side, each separated by thin columns. In the middle of the living areas, a sitting hammock swings from the roof, inviting activity and conversation as well as providing a place to relax and read. Elsewhere in the home, transforming furnishings were chosen for their space-saving techniques that offer the ultimate in flexibility . In fact, much of the furniture was built with push, fold and rotate mechanisms to provide various uses. Even the front door folds outward, reminiscent of a spaceship. + Penda Via Archdaily Photography by Xia zhi, Laurian Ghinitoiu via Penda

Plastic-fishing group in Amsterdam turns trash into contemporary furniture

Comments Off on Plastic-fishing group in Amsterdam turns trash into contemporary furniture
If we remove plastic from the world's waterways, what happens to it next? Amsterdam -based Plastic Whale , the "first professional plastic-fishing company in the world" according to founder Marius Smit , came up with a creative answer: circular furniture . They teamed up with LAMA Concept and Vepa to design the Plastic Whale Circular Furniture collection, all of which is made with trash fished from the city's canals. Plastic Whale takes thousands of people plastic fishing in Amsterdam's canals every year, removing tons of plastic trash, according to their video. They've created fishing boats out of plastic collected and then decided to make something new with the garbage: office furniture. They enlisted the help of design firm LAMA Concept to design the pieces, and furniture manufacturer Vepa to produce and sell them. Related: Pentatonic launches new brand of modern furniture made with nothing but trash They've created a boardroom table , chairs , a lamp , and an acoustic panel. Vepa director Janwillem de Kam said in a statement , "For the manufacture of the furniture we use PET bottles that have been collected by Plastic Whale. We also melt steel waste into the base of the chair. We are fast moving towards a waste-free factory and even ensure that we process the waste from others in this collection." Plastic Whale said they also utilize residual fabrics for the chair. LAMA Concept co-owner Yvonne Laurysen said they were inspired by whales for the furniture's designs : "Think, for example, of the look and feel of the characteristic skin, the adipose tissue, and the impressive skeleton." Surfacing whales inspired the boardroom table's appearance, the chairs got their look from the shape of a whale's tail, barnacles provided inspiration for the lamp, and a whale's bellow offered the spark for the acoustic panels. When a customer is done with the furniture, they can return it to Vepa, which will create new pieces and even return a deposit. The furniture can be ordered via exclusive dealers with prices available on request; you can email Vepa for more information. Some of the proceeds will go to organizations fighting the plastic problem like SweepSmart in India. You can find out more about Plastic Whale's collection here . + Plastic Whale + Vepa + LAMA Concept Images via LAMA Concept and courtesy of Vepa

DIY tiny cabin is made out of old skateboards and a horse trough
Comments Off on DIY tiny cabin is made out of old skateboards and a horse trough
When it comes to DIY , sometimes just one simple tool can make all of the difference. Nick Orso spent two years researching, planning, and building an eco-friendly tiny cabin on wheels . Using a simple Excel spreadsheet, he created the final design to scale for the "Tiny Cabin That Excels." Built with reclaimed materials such as old skateboards and a salvaged horse trough repurposed as a water basin, his beautiful timber cabin – which also includes a composting toilet and tankless water heater – may be compact, but it comes with a lot of character. Nick Orso's mobile cabin is located in a picturesque lot near a historic estate just out of Center City, Philadelphia. With large french doors and plenty of windows, it makes a perfect woodsy retreat. That said, since it's built on a standard flatbed trailer, the mobile tiny home can be installed just about anywhere. Related: Escape Traveler is a tiny cabin on wheels that can be moved anywhere Orso built the cabin using quite a few reclaimed materials , such as an old horse trough, which was installed as the shower basin. His passion for skateboarding is also reflected throughout. In the kitchen, for example, he lined the side of the bar with recycled skateboards salvaged from a friend's skateboard shop. Now, almost completely finished, Orso seems a bit hesitant as what to do with his cool cabin , "I hope to put it up in the woods as kind of retreat, and then who knows what that could lead to? It was a passion I had, he explains, "and I decided to throw away my free time and sanity to achieve it". Via Urban Engineers Photography by Urban Engineers , and video by Urban Video Productions

Most people at some time during their life, experience stress, anxiety, and even depression. Students, for example, have the pressures associated with assessments, exams, goals targets and homework and on the other their developing personal relationships, work life, and family. For students and older people alike major life transitions such as family break-ups, bereavement or just moving home can all increase stress worry and anxiety.
Whilst these are relatively low-level examples of mental health issues, they are nevertheless issues that usually impact, adversely, on performance. Whilst many people get through these times of stress and worry without support there are many others who struggle to do so and in some cases issues escalate into more serious mental health problems and can show up as excessive drinking, smoking, drug addiction and self-harm.
Whilst most organisations make provision for assessing and supporting individuals, who have been diagnosed with serious mental health issues, many staff and colleagues will be experiencing lower level and/or temporary conditions that need to be identified and support provided.
This means that all line managers, HR specialists, teachers, trainers and learning support assistants need to be able to identify who may be experiencing mental health issues and know what support they are required to give, how and when.
Indeed in a recent employment tribunal case resulted in a high street retailer being recommended by a judge to arrange Mental Health Awareness training for all their staff.
This one day course provides broad ranging advice and guidance way to identify those who may have problems and how best to react in a range of typical circumstances. It explores the role employers and service providers have in improving the mental health and well-being of employees as well as respecting the different needs and circumstances of clients, customers, learners and students. It also considers the policies and action plans that need to be in place to meet legislation and support good mental health well-being.
Specific Needs & Learning Difficulties Courses
For Whom
This one day course can be aligned to the need of managers at all levels from first-line to Director across all business sectors. It is also suitable for teachers, trainers and learning support teams within schools, colleges and independent learning providers.
The course can be tailored for separate or mixed cohorts of staff, managers and volunteers and the more specific needs of those having to address mental health issues with students in learning and training environments.
Aims and Objectives
Delegates will:
• Consider definitions of "mental disorder" and other terms
• Recognise the points of convergence and divergence between definitions of "learning disabilities" and mental health problems
• Look at a range of examples of mental health problems, symptoms and other terms
• Talk about causes of many mental health problems
• Examine some of the signs around mental health problems-spotting the signs
• Exchange ideas AND receive information about 7 recurring pieces of best practice in the modern workplace
• Determine appropriate and safe responses in a crisis situation
• Focus on the 10 key UK laws and appropriate European directives which impact on the mental health agenda –bringing rights and responsibilities
• Be assisted in developing or updating existing policies supporting staff, students and service users as well as volunteers
• Identify further sources of information & support
1. Terms, Definitions and Legislation
This introductory session explores the terms and definitions that relate to mental health issues and the legislation that impacts on all organisations
• Terms and Definitions
• 10 important Acts of Parliament
2. Causes, Symptoms and Identification
Whilst line managers, HR staff, teachers, trainers and support assistants are seldom professional counsellors, they are in an ideal position to assist people in accessing advice, guidance and support. Behaviours that may indicate that someone is grappling with mental health issues could include excessive procrastination, poor attendance, disruptive behaviour, and/or marked changes in appearance. There is also the need to be on the lookout for overly dependent students or staff or those who make frequent requests for help or seem to be unable to make their own decisions.
This session explores the tell-tale signs for many common problems including:
• Depression including anxiety, stress and worry
• Eating Disorders
• Self Harm
• Substance abuse, including drugs, alcohol and tobacco
• Neuro Diverse Conditions that may underlie the above
3 Advising and Addressing Mental Health Issues
line managers, HR staff, teachers, trainers and support assistants will frequently observe behaviours that could indicate underlying mental health issues or students and staff may even self-report. In both cases it is important that all those who may be know how to manage the situation effectively.
This session explores a range of possible approaches, the situation in which they may prove effective together with this risks and challenges associated with them.
• What you can do
• When to do it
• Where to do it
• How to do it
• Why you should do
• Why you should not do it
• When to involve the person affected
• When not to involve the person affected
4. Confidentiality
This session considers the, often conflicting, issues round legal and compliance responsibilities, the need to main trust and confidentiality.
5. Putting it all together
The fifth session brings all of the above together. Participants consider a range of case studies that link back to the situations covered in session 1 and consider, in each how best to proceed.
6. Theory to Practice
The last session explores what needs to be done by participants at both the organisational and participant levels to enable mental health issues to be addressed more effectively. It also considers any mental health worries about specific staff that have arisen during the course of the workshop, and what action is needed for these

So, when I'm not battling respiratory infections, dealing with stupid telephone companies, fighting with computers, arguing with very large publishers about compensation for their use-without-permission of things I wrote, or otherwise being productive, I've been writing fiction.
It's not very good, but it's cheap.
Anyway, my latest novel is now available for the Kindle, if that's your thing – you can grab a copy here, if you like sex, drugs, and environmental terrorism. There's also a paperback edition, which makes a great gift for the people in your life who like sex, drugs, and environmental terrorism. It's available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, et cetera. People outside the United States can get a copy right here for less than ten dollars, with free worldwide shipping.
On a related note, I've been publishing fiction as paperbacks and e-books since July 2010. In that time I've put out six titles, two of them novel-length. I've sold copies to people all over the world, gotten reviews from a handful of complete strangers, and made… well, next-to-nothing, by anyone's standards.
Lest you think I'm kidding about my lack of success, I just received my first-ever royalty cheque for the books I've written. Yep, it took seventeen months for me to actually see a penny. Barely a thousand pennies, actually…
I'm seriously tempted to not even bother cashing it. I'd kind of like to tape it to the wall in my office, as a reminder of why I desperately need to quit this failed experiment in writing fiction.
Self-publishing only makes you money if you're good at it. If you're considering trying to wow the world with your fiction, remember Sturgeon's Law, and the Occupy movement: 90% of everything is crap, and you are, almost certainly, among the 90%. I know I am.
I'm trying to finish up my next novel – a highly-derivative tale of life, love, and facial trauma – by early January, so if you'll excuse me, I've got to go write some more cruft nobody is ever going to read, now.

#TJAG (The Just Almost Games, June 30, 2018):
What's your kill count? Do cats and dogs play to win? Do you like running and racing? Does play express freedom while pushing at the boundaries of reality, materials, & rules? Does normal life lend solidity to games, even though they may be interrupted by reality? Are literature and games both forms of cultural simulation? Would a Martian visiting Earth be able to distinguish work from play? Why can games only be enacted (& not narrated) in real time by the player? Must players be aware of their effects on each other for a situation to be a game? How does nature make its moves? Are the rules of a game arbitrary though not irrational? Can legal moves be illogical and/or unethical? How 'large' games can be, & must they be conclusive? Can several mathematical proofs be thought of as (systemic and/or narrative) turn-based games? Are all perfect information games winnable? How are games with imperfect or incomplete information different? Can anything be learnt via play? Why doesn't game-play develop as fast as the simulation of spaces? Could games be used for 'serious' purposes in the future? Would leisure stay free? Or, might games cease to be play even as we bet everything on it? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using concepts from literature (Prof. Supriya Chaudhuri, Jadavpur University, Kolkata), logic (Dr. Sujata Ghosh, ISI, Chennai), & game design (Dhruv Jani, Studio Oleomingus, Vapi).
Listen in…

%0 Journal Article %J Clin Neurol Neurosurg %D 2015 %T Pre-operative Image-based Segmentation of the Cranial Nerves and Blood Vessels in Microvascular Decompression: Can We Prevent Unnecessary Explorations? %A Dolati, Parviz %A Golby, Alexandra %A Eichberg, Daniel %A Abolfotoh, Mohamad %A Dunn, Ian F %A Mukundan, Srinivasan %A Hulou, Mohamed M %A Al-Mefty, Ossama %X
OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to validate the accuracy of image-based pre-operative segmentation using the gold standard endoscopic and microscopic findings for localization and pre-operative diagnosis of the offensive vessel. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fourteen TN and 6 HS cases were randomly selected. All patients had 3T MRI, which included thin-sectioned 3D space T2, 3D Time of Flight and MPRAGE Sequences. Imaging sequences were loaded in BrainLab iPlanNet and fused. Individual segmentation of the affected cranial nerves and the compressing vascular structure was performed by a neurosurgeon, and the results were compared with the microscopic and endoscopic findings by two blinded neurosurgeons. For each case, at least three neurovascular landmarks were targeted. Each segmented neurovascular element was validated by manual placement of the navigation probe over each target, and errors of localization were measured in mm. RESULTS: All patients underwent retro-sigmoid craniotomy and MVD using both microscope and endoscope. Based on image segmentation, the compressing vessel was identified in all cases except one, which was also negative intraoperatively. Perfect correspondence was found between image-based segmentation and endoscopic and microscopic images and videos (Dice coefficient of 1). Measurement accuracy was 0.45±0.21mm (mean±SD). CONCLUSION: Image-based segmentation is a promising method for pre-operative identification and localization of offending blood vessels causing HFS and TN. Using this method may prevent some unnecessary explorations on especially atypical cases with no vascular contacts. However, negative pre-operative image segmentation may not preclude one from exploration in classic cases of TN or HFS. A multicenter study with larger number of cases is recommended.%B Clin Neurol Neurosurg %V 139 %P 159-65 %8 2015 Dec %G eng %1 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26476700?dopt=Abstract %R 10.1016/j.clineuro.2015.10.006

Abdul Ghani, Abdul Hadi and Gani, Hasmawati (1984) The level of acceptance of ESSO autogas by private motorcar owners as perceived by ESSO autogas dealers / Abdul Hadi Abdul Ghani and Hasmawati Gani. [Student Project] (Unpublished)
Esso autogas was introduced by Esso Malaysia Berhad barely a year ago. In general autogas or LPG used to power motor vehicle is something the public know little about it.

The main objective of this research was to determine the level of acceptance of Esso autogas by private motor car owners as percieved by Esso autogas dealers. In order to achieve the above objective it was decided that all the Esso autogas dealers in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya were personally interviewed. Other related informations from the Technical Division of the Road and Transport Department and the Ministry of Trade and Industry were also taken into consideration. The findings from the research showed that the level of acceptance of Esso autogas by private motor car owners as perceived by the Esso autogas dealers is very low.

Listening to podcasts has been really helpful in our development as entrepreneurs. Podcasts are a superb resource for learning. And many other bloggers and business owners feel the same. In the last few years, this form of content has been a great source of learning, inspiration and entertainment for many people and its popularity is growing. In this post, I share the best podcasts for business owners, entrepreneurs, and bloggers will entertain and inspire you to build better businesses online.
SEO, marketing, and the techniques for building businesses change every year and 2020 will be no different. In fact, 2020 will probably see more changes in the way content is created and how entrepreneurs build products and services. Why? Because competition is tougher. Google's algorithm is getting smarter and more selective, and investors are becoming wary of startups with no revenue-generating ability.
So to keep ahead of these changes it's important to listen to the experts. I've selected my favourite podcasters based on their ability to deliver value to entrepreneurs. If you're interested in entrepreneurship then these are podcasts you should listen to.
But first, What is a podcast?
Most people reading this blog will have some idea of what a Podcast is but here's a refresher and some interesting statistics.
The word podcast is a mix of the words iPod and Broadcasting. Podcasts were originally MP3 files of audio shows (think interviews or monologues) that people listened to on their iPods. As the technology became more advanced and people started to listen to audio shows on other devices and other formats the word Podcast came to be a term to describe any long-form audio show that you can download and listen to on a device.
There are now regular shows on any topics you can think of any many people prefer listening to Podcasts over reading magazines or newspapers. Somewhere between 150,000 and 200,000 podcasts are currently active in English. Podcast subscriptions passed the 1 billion mark back in 2013 and popularity has only increased since then.
If we take Google Trends as an indicator then podcasts with a focus on entrepreneurship are growing in popularity at an even greater rate. The keyword 'Entrepreneur Podcast' has increased steadily in the last couple of years.
And finally, the term 'podcasts for entrepreneurs' is a long-tail keyword so it will naturally have fewer searches but it is growing steadily now also.
According to the PEW Research Center, the percentage of Americans listening to Podcasts has doubled since 2008 and one third of the entire population has listened to a podcast at some stage.
Podcasts are big business. John Lee Dumas of EOfire.com puts his income online every month. Reading these income reports I get a clear view of the potential of shows for entrepreneurs and business people. In February 2016 his site earned just under $600,000. That's impressive for a business that drives all of its sales from the shows he records at a breakneck pace. His secret is consistency and smart business tactics. For many years he has produced a podcast every single day and his audience of entrepreneurs, digital nomads, and niche business owners listen in their thousands.
Podcasts for Entrepreneurs – The List
This is a personal list so it's not the definitive 'best of', but then every list is a personalised opinion in some form or another. However, I'm an entrepreneur, blogger, and a big consumer of podcasts so I'd consider my opinion on this topic to be well informed. At any rate, if you're new to this particular broadcast medium or you want to find some new shows to listen to, try the podcasts below and expand your own list from there.

Amy Porterfield presents one of the best podcasts in the podcasting world. In any niche. If you want to learn how to run your own course, create webinars, build a profitable business, or market your online business, this podcast is pure gold.
Amy is an excellent presenter and delivers tons of value in every episode. She interviews some of the biggest names in internet marketing such as Pat Flynn, Marie Forleo, and Andrew Warner. A great podcast for beginners and advanced entrepreneurs and marketers.

The guys at Authority Hacker have done a lot in the last 5-6 years. They started an agency and then sold it. The built a successful health niche site and made a lot of money from it. They started a website to teach people how to make money from authority sites (called Authority Hacker). And recently they built several websites to prove that they can do what they teach.

The podcast of Michael Stelzner's Social Media Examiner is the go-to show for trends and techniques to use in the social media world. With the constant changes in Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, SnapChat, Twitter, and the other social media platforms, there's always something to talk about.
Mike asks great questions and is able to get the most out of the guests that come on his show. He's been in the social media game for a long time and is just as knowledgable as many of his guests.

I found The Hustle and Flowchart show near the end of last year and I haven't missed an episode since then. Matt and Joe are entertaining, funny, and full of ideas. But more importantly, they understand online business. With 10 years experience building and growing websites for themselves and their clients, these guys have the authority to talk about paid ads, content marketing, SEO, and conversion optimization.
Guests on the show range from investors to affiliate marketers, Google Ads specialists to SEO experts, and everything in between.

Most of the guests will be unknown to the public at large, but in a way, this makes things more interesting. Learn from people that are still in the trenches, fighting their way towards achieving success. Hear about how others have managed to grow their online businesses from small projects to to successful six-figure businesses.
Some of the early episodes are just audio versions of older YouTube videos but Doug prefaces each episode with details about dates and tries to update the audience with relevant information.

The Side Hustle Project [Podcast]
The Side Hustle Project is one of those shows that rarely fails to deliver. Ryan Robinson must be a well-connected man because he's got the cream of the crop in the business world on his podcast.
The show is marketed as showcasing side projects and ideas that people have grown on the side to become successful and profitable businesses. Many of the guests are far from being side-hustlers but they started off that way. Listen to interviews with some of the internet business world's biggest names: Brian Dean of Backlinko, Shane Parrish of Farnam Street, Neil Patel of Crazy Egg and KISSmetrics, and Grant Cordone of, well, lots of things.

The SaaS Podcast
Although the focus is on software entrepreneurs this excellent podcast is a must for any entrepreneur. The SaaS Podcast provides great insights into marketing and content strategies for businesses of any type. Created by ex-Microsoft employee Omer Khan, The SaaS Podcast's focus in on interviewing software entrepreneurs about their challenges and triumphs.
Don't be put off by the topic if you're not interested in software. Most of the interviews are about entrepreneur struggles, marketing, growth, market-fit, content, blogging, and other 'non-techie' aspects of starting a software business. Nobody talks code on this show, so it's a good place for any entrepreneur to find inspiration for their next project or current startup.
Smart Passive Income
One of the first business podcasts and a great one for the beginner entrepreneur. The Smart Passive Income podcast has been an inspiration for me and for thousands of other niche site owners, entrepreneurs, bloggers, and affiliate marketers. I think that a lot of the success of Pay Flynn's podcast is Pat's personality. He's a likeable character who shares the details of his triumphs and failures with transparency.
Pat is the kind of guy you'd like to meet at a coworking space, entrepreneur conference, or anywhere really. He can chat about blogging until the cows come home and he's been doing it as a business for almost 10 years.
Guests on the SPI show tell Pat their unique entrepreneur stories. Mostly about how they hit rock-bottom but rose to the top again. But there are always nuggets of actionable advice for anyone in business. If you want the kind of show the makes you take action, then this inspirational podcast will push all the right buttons.
Grab a pen and paper as you'll be taking lots of notes. SPI is also one of the best affiliate marketing podcasts. Pat Flynn makes most of the income from his website through affiliate marketing so he certainly understands that sector of business. Take some advice from this man!
A fairly new show, but already one of my
I've been reading the IndieHackers blog for some time now and it's definitely on my top 3 list of sites for inspiration. Courtland asks questions of entrepreneurs exactly how I would myself, or at least I think I would. The questions are direct and to the point. The interviewees don't hold back either. Revenue numbers, growth rates, marketing strategies, and bootstrapping techniques are all discussed.
If you're just starting out you can hear the stories of entrepreneurs who recently moved from no-revenue businesses to profitable. If your plan is to dominate your industry then interviews with people like Chris Chen of Instapainting (which is also one of the most popular posts on the blog) is a great podcast for inspiration.
For people who aspire to be owners of a side-income company or a business that supports their lifestyle, there are interviews for you too. IndieHackers delivers interviews with entrepreneurs in these exact situations. Check out the interview with Jason Grishkoff of submit hub.
At the time of writing, there are only a handful of podcast interviews on the site. However, Courtland is busy recording new ones and if the quality of his text interviews is anything to go by, the new podcasts coming out will be of a very high standard. I've consumed all of the text interviews on the website and am eagerly awaiting more audio versions. Long may this show continue!
Tropical MBA
These guys have been at the podcast game for years. Over those years the production on the Tropical MBA has become very polished and Dan (one of two co-founders), in particular, has really become the voice of the show. He's developed into an accomplished podcaster. I love listening to the anecdotes, success stories, and opinion of both Dan and Ian. These guys live what they preach, they don't sell out, and they don't go with a hard sell (or any 'sell', for that matter) when it comes to their own businesses.
I've learned a lot from the Tropical MBA podcast and I'm sure I'll keep adding to the database of strategies and tips. Topics discussed include:
- Lifestyle businesses
- Niche product businesses
- Relocation and living overseas
- Dropshipping
- Foreign language learning
- Remote work
- Entrepreneurial books
This is not a podcast for wannabe Mark Zuckerbergs, however. The TMBA guys preach lifestyle-business tactics and most of their guests have no desire to work for a large startup. Their idea of success is having a business that gives them the lifestyle they want. And they have a compelling way of promoting this business ethos. Every one of their guests has built a business that lets them live as they want and the message is clear: Joining the rat race is not an option for the Tropical MBA tribe. Living the dream on your own terms is the goal.
Kudos to Dan and Ian!
The Side Hustle Show
Nick Loper's Side Hustle podcast accompaniment to his very successful Side Hustle Nation website is a great resource for aspiring entrepreneurs and seasoned professionals. The focus is on making money on the side. But that doesn't mean that guests on the show are merely adding small sums to their incomes. Some of Nick's guests make millions of dollars from businesses started as small projects, extra money making opportunities, and passions that turned into lucrative businesses.
An inspiring podcast for people that need reassurance that their niche business idea is a potentially lucrative one. Some of the success stories are nothing short of amazing and will make you think twice about dismissing 'crazy ideas'.
If you'd like to follow along with a startup founder as he builds his company from scratch then the Startup podcast is for you. This is a podcast about startup culture, funding, venture capital, human resources, and more. You won't just get the good bits either. The show gives equal time to the failures as to the triumphs.
An entrepreneur's journey will have failures and the importance of learning from these challenges is huge. If you've ever felt like they are falling apart in business, the Startup show will resonate with you
A very polished show from seasoned podcaster Alex Blumberg.
Darren Rowse has been around almost as long as anyone can remember the word 'blog' being used. He was an early adopter of this format that would take over the world. Although he hasn't been as quick in adopting podcasting, Darren has built a good reputation as a podcaster since June 2015.
Much of the content of the ProBlogger show is about building a better, more profitable blog. Episodes are fairly short, with the longest being around 45 minutes. But there are tons of good value in each episode. Most of the topics discussed can also be found on the Problogger main site. Darren has been writing blogs since 2004 and there is a lot of information in those archives. But for people that prefer to consume their content in an audio format, this is a great way to learn about making a business from your website or blog.
Darren is very well known on the blogging scene and his podcast continues the laid-back and friendly style of his writing. One of the first bloggers to disclose his income levels and how he monetizes his blogs, Darren is transparent in all aspects of his business. Are you an aspiring entrepreneur who wants to know how to become a professional blogger? Well, listen up!
Andrew Warner is one of the old guard of podcasting. He's not old, but he's been at the podcasting game for a very long time (in Internet terms). Every Mixergy episode is researched, produced, and delivered by a professional team of people headed by Andrew, who does the interviewing. Andrew was a successful entrepreneur long before starting Mixergy so he's walked the talk. He understands business and he knows what it takes to grind away for years before making a breakthrough.
The show focuses on successful entrepreneurs, ones with proven revenue streams. It provides inspiraton for people starting their entrepreneurial journey and for people that have already made it.
How to listen to podcasts
Apple's podcast app is the king of podcast listening apps but is it the best?
The answer is a definite "no". I use many Apple products but some of the company's software products are frustrating, to say the least.
There are better alternatives. In fact, almost every other podcast listening app is better.
Apple's dominance of the industry thanks to pretty much inventing the whole podcast genre means that the iTunes podcast ecosystem is huge. Even show creators who shun Apple's podcast app ask for reviews on iTunes. They understand how powerful good reviews on the platform are for improving the reach of their show. Incidentally, "pod" comes from iPod, the original medium for listening to shows and "cast" comes from the word broadcast.
Podcast listenting apps:
- Apple podcasts app (iOS)
- Stitcher (iOS & Android)
- Google Podcasts (Android)
- Overcast (iOS)
- Spotify (iOS & Android)
- CastBox (iOS & Android)
- Castro (iOS & Android)
- Downcast (iOS)
- PodBean (iOS & Android)
Make your own podcast.
Marketers and business owners that jumped on the podcast bandwagon a few years ago and stuck with it are probably laughing all the way to the bank right now. Podcasting, for many creators, has become a very powerful marketing tool. It's one of the closest things to having a direct conversation with your audience. People empathize with people they regularly listen to. The sound of someone's voice can help form a connection that builds trust. Marketers know how powerful this can be.
Too late to get on the podcast train? No. In reality, it's just leaving the station.
And it's easy to get going.
PodBean has two main business models
1. A podcast creation and distribution service
2. A podcast show promotion service, which lets advertisers promote their businesses to a laser-targeted audience.
Podcast listeners are highly engaged and haven't yet succumbed to the "banner blindness" most website visitors browse with.
PodBean are offering $100 credit towards podcast advertising. The first month is free too. After that, the monthly cost is $9-14 depending on whether you pay monthly or yearly.
Castos calls itself beautifully simple podcast hosting. It integrates with WordPress and has analytics built in. There's a neat looking media player for embedding shows on your blog posts. There's also a repurposing tool which lets you send shows directly to YouTube. Repurposing is the buzzword of 2019 but it's an effective way of increasing your traffic for minimal effort. Even better when your apps do the heavy lifting for you.
Anchor FM
Anchor.fm is one of the hottest arrivals on the podcast podcasting scene. And it's not hard to see why. It's got a lot of great features and it's 100% free.
The only thing to concern yourself with is if the platform survives in the long term. Running a free service requires a lot of investment and companies that don't make money can only last for so long. It would be a shame to lose all of your podcasting episodes or have to move them to another platform.
Podiant is a UK based service with hosting starting at $12.99 a month for unlimited storage, blogs, one-to-one support, and auto-posting to YouTube and Twitter.
The interface is clean and fast and there's an analytics panel so you can see exactly what's working.
Buzzsprout is an impressive-looking podcast hosting platform used by the likes of Pat Flynn (one of the most well-known podcast hosts).
Buzzsprout offers a generous 90-day free trial. The software automaticall optimizes the audio you upload so you get the best quality playback for your audience.
It also automatically updates your podcasts on Stitcher, iTunes, and other podcast networks.
There's a free plan that gives you 2 hours a month. Great for beginning podcasters to get their feet wet. The $12 plan gives you 3 hours each month. The other plans are reasonably priced but if you plan to upload a lot of audio, other services might suit your budget better.
Finding New Podcasts
One of my favourite tools for finding great podcast episodes has nothing to do with any of the podcast apps or networks. It's called Listen Notes and is a free service for tracking keywords mentioned in podcast shows.
Add a keyword like "Tim Ferris" or "Pinterest marketing" and get an email digest of the latest shows that mention these terms.

The charity bike ride organised by Rix Petroleum, dubbed the "Tour De Rix" in aid of Macmillan cancer support got off to a flying start from Alnwick in Northumbria on Sunday.
Now in it's third day, the Tour De Rix and the team of 10 riders will arrive in Yorkshire, at Rix Petroleum's head office, based in Hull.
From their, the team who are completing the full 262 mile route, will join fellow colleagues to do a 'short stage' from Hull to Immingham. In total 30 riders will take part in the 22 mile stretch, before the last day of the event, which takes place on Wednesday 18th June, where the riders will depart from Immingham and complete a 58 mile ride to Rix Petroleum's Spalding depot.
So far the charity bike ride has raised an impressive £15,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Below are some pictures of the event so far:

Update: I did some more testing since posting. It seems I may have had a bad XC9536 to begin with. The 2nd one I used I hadn't tried the non-tristate version of the outputs. I reprogrammed it and have been testing for a while. Seems warm to the touch, but no where near as hot as the 1st one I tried.
Glad I figured it out. Did not make much sense given the data I had on the devices.
I have a circuit in which I have an XC9536 (Vcio=5VDC) driving 4 inputs of an XR-2203 (basically a x7 darlington xstor driver to a relay). The XR-2203 specs say it's designed to be driven by 3-5V signal (CMOS/TTL....2.7K in series to the base). I programmed the XC9536 outputs as "normal" and it got very hot (may have even burned out 1 chip). I programmed another XC9536 setting outputs as tri-state (OBUFT) and using a pull-up to 5V. The CPLD still gets fairly warm.
Is there any special consideration when using a CPLD like this to drive xstors?
Thanks in advance.
Additional inductance won't help. Other than capacitance, your best bet is to add another clamp diode directly across the relay coil rather than relying only on the internal diodes of the XR-2203. That will keep any current spikes local to the relay rather than injecting them into the rest of the circuit.
It's not clear to me whether these are 9500 or 9500XL (3.3V) parts you're talking about. In either case it sounds like you have an issue with electrical over-stress. If your XR-2203 (looks like the old ULN2003A) is driving inductive loads like
relays, you need to be very careful that the inductive kick-back doesn't get into the supply for the CPLD. This could happen if you use a common supply for the relay drive and the CPLD. Note that those diodes on the output of the XR-2203 dump current into the output voltage supply from the inductive loads. If there is not sufficient capacitance to filter this reverse current you can have high voltage events on that supply.
Thanks for the response. I thought I was clear. Apologies. It is a XC9536 (I do have some XC9536XLs, but are not being used in this specific circuit).
I understand the voltage spike issue (CPLD and relays are on the same 5V supply). However, I didn't think that would contribute to heat issues on the CPLD. However, if the inductive spike affected the CPLD (as in messed up the output circuitry), then that would make sense.
Per your suggestion, I'll look at the capacitance across the supply on that board. I'll also look at the +5V line w/a scope and see what's actually going on. I wonder if I can insert some inductance in series with the relay +5 leg to see if I can reduce any spiking getting back to the CPLD?
Thanks again for the input. Any other suggestions are welcome.

That will keep any current spikes local to the relay rather than injecting them into the rest of the circuit.
Again, I appreciate the help.
The relays are small (draw just a bit more than 25 mA). However, there are 4 in this design and I expect could gen a serious spike if all are activated/deactivated at the same time :(
Back to the design board......
Thx again....

Title IIA
Title IIA Forms
The purpose of Title II-A Federal funds is to increase the academic achievement of all students through strategies such as improving teacher and Principal quality and increasing the number of highly qualified teachers in the classroom and highly qualified Principals and leaders in schools. Through the program, State & local educational agencies receive funds on a formula basis. In exchange, agencies that receive funds are held accountable to the public for improvements in academic achievement. Changes in Title II-A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), offer new opportunities for State & local education agencies to consider new and additional uses of Title II-A funds that are innovative and evidence-based.
ESU 7 offers a Title II-A Consortium for area schools to support the goal of Title II-A: Increase academic achievement of all students by helping schools and districts improve teacher and Principal quality. Participation in the ESU 7 Title II-A Consortium is offered to all nineteen ESU 7 school districts and provides professional development for teachers, Principals and other school leaders to enhance teaching and learning. This is achieved through planning and financing unit-wide activities, funding registrations, and paying stipends to those in the Consortium. ESU 7 Superintendents and Principals participate in an annual needs-assessment to determine unit-wide needs; this needs-assessment guides ESU 7 planning of Professional Development topics & speakers for the following school year and summer. Superintendents approve the Title II-A unit-wide plan in the Spring.

Chakra Rainbow Aromatic Candle with Essential Oils which has been Reiki Cleansed and Blessed in our UK Online Crystal Shop
This candle is specially made to create a Peace and Harmony atmosphere. The candle is decorated with 7 Chakra symbols representing the 7 coloured layers of stearin.
Besides it being very inspirational and decorative it is also extremely good value for money as this candle will burn for as long as 100 hours. As the candle is sheltered inside a glass container it is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. It will burn itself out in its holder and leave no wax residue.
With the candle comes a guide to Chakras in English, German and Dutch.
Each layer of the candle represents its own Chakra, therefore has its own colour :
The fragrance for this candle is Honeysuckle and Cedar.
Each candle measures approximately 21x6.5cm (8.25x2.5 inch) and weighs approximately 800 grams.(860 grams including packaging)
The candle is produced out of 100 % stearin or palm wax and includes 3% pure essential oils (Honeysuckle & Cedar). Stearin is a renewable resource that always can be replanted. It makes the candle burn very clean and smokeless. The wick used is pure cotton. As a result you will have a very steady bright flame and no waste-product as the candle burns itself out. The candle is paraffin free. It has no metal-lead or zinc-contents. Neither has it any animal derived ingredients.
