My name is Candi, I connected to your site from Amy Boeckman's I have two children with Down Syndrome and Cri du Chat Syndrome, my son was in the NICU with Amy's son Kaden, Zachery is 4, and my daughter Allie is going to be 3 in a few weeks. Your son is very handsome. Neither of my kids walk or talk and they both have mickey buttons, Zachery has had 6surgeries, and has a trach..which I don't know if we will ever get rid of it:( my daughter has just had 2 surgeries so far, but I know tonsils diffiently in my son has to come out before the trach is ever thoguht about. I just have to say, I live in a town, where my kids seem to be the only one that have diabilites, and it's kinda lonley to have no one to talk to about your kids, it's almost like yes we as a family know they have these problems, but we don't socialize with other families who go through the same things we do, I hope that your son is doing well and hope his surgery goes well I was reading about ENT well Zach has to get his tonsils out and also his testicles have never dropped so they actually want to do a combo..but I don't want my poor boy to have all that pain. We actually go Tuesday the 24th to the surgery clinc for a bigger mickeybutton and a consultation on the orceopex?? it seems that all we do is going to appt. latley I have canceld alot with the theory if he ain't sick and he is doing well I want to stay away from them!!!

Imagine your favorite grilled chicken or pork slathered with a rich, spicy-sweet peach-bourbon barbeque sauce. This is my absolute favorite homemade barbecue sauce recipe. Pair this tangy sauce with the tastiest pork skewers. PLUS: there is bacon between the chunks of pork!! Now it's a party!
How to make BBQ sauce from scratch.
Making barbecue sauce from scratch isn't as hard as you think.
When you make homemade barbecue sauce, you can leave out all the bad stuff like corn syrup and preservatives.
This barbecue recipe is made without ketchup. This recipe might not be a super easy bbq sauce recipe, but it is the best homemade bbq sauce I have ever made.
- Start by caramelizing onions, tomatoes, and in this case, the peaches.
- Add a little bit of apple cider vinegar, and a few spices.
- Then let your tangy-sweet barbecue sauce cook down until it is as thick as you want it.
- I use an immersion blender for this recipe to get my sauce a little bit smoother.
You might be wondering, how long does homemade BBQ sauce last?
Why go through all that effort if you can't keep it awhile. When I have made this barbecue sauce, I have kept it in an airtight container for around one month. Homemade barbecue sauce doesn't hang around too long at my house. We usually eat it way before it goes bad.
What goes with BBQ sauce?
I am all about summer grilling!
I could cook on the grill every day. I love grilled meats and veggies – not to mention being outside while I'm cooking. Easier clean up is just a bonus that comes with throwing everything on the grill. Who needs pots and pans?
Peaches and Bourbon – Is there a better combination?
Being a bourbon fan I might be a little bit prejudice here. Because if we're being honest, bourbon goes with just about everything, right? This sweet and spicy barbecue sauce has the perfect amount of sweet heat. The peaches and the panela sugar create a sweet caramelly flavor, while the bourbon and cayenne give it a nice spicy kick.
I highly recommend going out of your way to buy the panela sugar. You can find panela sugar in a Hispanic grocery store. Or if you don't have a Hispanic market in your area, you can order it HERE!
The little details are what can take a recipe from pretty good to amazing! You can't quite reproduce the rich flavor of panela with brown or white sugar. Of course, this barbecue sauce is delicious either way, but the panela sugar makes this sweet bbq sauce exceptional.
This Peach-Bourbon Barbecue Sauce recipe is a Keeper.
There are some recipes that I keep making over and over again.
What is the best meat for BBQ?
I like to serve grilled chicken or pork with this sweet and spicy barbecue sauce.
I recently discovered a pork tri-tip cut.
This roast cut is often called a pork club roast. The pork club roast is a boneless pork roast cut. It is a tender cut that is leaner than a pork shoulder. I had never heard of it before. It turned out to be a delicious cut.
When you love cooking as much as I do, it's natural to be on a first name basis with your butcher. If you can't find this 'club roast' cut, you can use pork tenderloin instead. You could also ask your butcher if they have any stew cut pork.
These pork skewers are perfect with this barbecue sauce. I usually make these shish kabobs with a little bit of applewood smoked bacon slapped between each piece of meat. Can you say bacon-tastic? I also use my signature BBQ Spice Rub. You can download it here!
How to make barbecued pork on a campfire?
This recipe was so easy to make camping. I am a Master of campfire cooking. I bring my Lodge brand camp oven with me and cook in it the whole time. Want to know what other campfire recipes I cooked while camping?
Check out my post on super easy camping recipes to see what we ate on our Big Sur camping tip! You will be truly inspired!

- ½ cup Bourbon
- 3 tbsp Tomato paste

- ¼ tsp Allspice
- ½ tsp Black pepper
- ¼ tsp Cayenne pepper you can use more if you like a little more spice
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground mustard
- Add the oil, onion, garlic and peaches to a medium sized sauce pan.
- Cook on medium high until peaches are soft and the sauce starts to caramelize and thicken. Approximately 30 minutes.
- Time may vary depending on how ripe your peaches are.
- Add the tomato paste, and sugar. Allow it to incorporate into the fruit.
- Add the apple cider vinegar and bourbon. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce the temperature and add spices. Simmer to let spices infuse into sauce.


text: Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone (AMTZ), Kalam Institute of Health Technology (KIHT), National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies (NABCB) under the Quality Council of India (QCI) with support of Indian Medical Devices Industry have jointly proposed to evolve a consortium for biomedical engineering skills in India. The proposed "Indian Bio-medical Skill Consortium (IBSC)" shall put in place an equivalence system of value-based assessment covering educational training, work experience and competency possessed by practitioners of biomedical engineering skills. To facilitate this a large number of assessment centers are being planned across several states in India where competency test on key bio-medical engineering skills could be undertaken by practitioners of bio-medical engineering from mechanical, electronics, electrical, health IT, clinical and allied engineering subjects. The outcome shall be a Technology Competency Score (TCS) level (1 to 10) which shall be framed on parity with other such professional bodies in many other countries. While the TCS score shall not be a licence to practice the subject, it shall be an internationally harmonised rating for skill recognition.

Rain has arrived and we got quite a bit of it. With that a lot of good fishing happened and I was lucky enough to get a few here and there. The water is starting to clear now and later this week there will be more rain to change the color and rise our rivers to make it fishing excellent again. Let it rain, let it rain. Lets go Sac River, Feather River, and Yuba River!

Bijia Mountain Wind Farm, the fifth wind farm in the Poyang Lake area in East China's Jiangxi province, has connected to the grid and begun to generate power.
China's troubled solar-panel manufacturing industry should see light at the end of the tunnel as early as this year, the CEO of a major panel manufacturer said.
Chinese Commerce Minister Chen Deming Friday urged politicians and entrepreneurs of the European Union to properly handle the solar panel friction with China to avoid greater losses for both sides.
Shanxi province, China's energy base, aims to transform its traditional coal industry amid mounting pressure from environmental protection and ecological restoration, top officials said on Thursday.
Communist Party of China (CPC) chief of southwest China's Yunnan province Qin Guangrong said Thursday that no hydropower development projects have been launched on the Nujiang River, denying speculation that the river may be dammed.
Officials behind China's self-developed nuclear reactor, known as the CAP1400, expect to sign its first overseas orders for the technology this year.
The fate of the world's leading maker of solar panels has become more in doubt, as its recently ousted chairman said the board has no plan for refinancing.
An expansion project for a power converter station that will allow power to be transmitted from Northeast China to North China has been completed.
"In the coming years, China's demand for the radioactive ore will surge with the booming development of nuclear power," said a researcher.
Chinese producers on Thursday protested the United States' latest decision to slash trade duties on solar energy products from China.
The US International Trade Commission decided Wednesday that the US solar industry was materially injured by Chinese imports.
China said on Monday that it has made a complaint to the World Trade Organization against photovoltaic subsidies in the European Union.
China announced on Thursday that it will begin an anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation into European imports of solar-grade polysilicon.
Higher energy-efficiency standards, rational prices on carbon and deep investments in urban energy infrastructure could quicken China's transition to a green economy.
The possible establishment of new business partnerships amid supportive government initiatives may raise the solar industry's chances for recovery.
China consumed 715.7 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity generated by clean energy sources in the first nine months of 2012, up 22.5 percent year-on-year.
China's photovoltaic industry, which is suffering from European and US trade protectionism and domestic overcapacity, is expected to reach a turning point.
The Ministry of Commerce on Thursday condemned a US decision to slap duties on billions of dollars worth of Chinese solar energy products.
US anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties on China's crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells "signals protectionism" and hinders new energy development.
The US Commerce Department has affirmed steep tariffs ranging from 18.32 percent to 249.96 percent on Chinese solar panel imports.

Review: 11th Annual ELNs and Advanced Laboratory Solutions Conference
Gerhard Noelken (Pfizer), Frank Klöck (Bayer), Mohit Agnihotri (Novartis), Pascal Maes (Johnson & Johnson), Julie Spry and Charles Demarest (Pfizer), Ralph Haffner (Roche), Daniel Domine (Merck) and Edward Reilly (Baxter), were just some of the stellar speakers line-up.
From these presentations it seems there is a need to standardize laboratory data systems, especially since big Pharma is outsourcing many activities that were previously performed internally. This fragmentation of the life science information landscape has required additional effort to be expended to ensure that data is consistent across systems (which still requires improvement).
Cat Andersen (Array BioPharma), Ruud van der Pol (DSM), Sheraz Gul (European ScreeningPort), Carla Marchioro (Aptuit), Simon Coles (Amphora Research Systems), Michael Engelmann (CSL Behring), Agnes Huot (Biogen Idec) and Henry Hallam (Lonza and the University of Southampton) presented in this area.
The companies giving presentations varied considerably. In the case of the larger Biotech companies the complexity of their internal process were shown to be comparable to big Pharma with IT projects taking 2-3 year projects to improve internal processes. The presentations from the CRO's highlighted the breadth of their customers and that it can be difficult and expensive to ensure their processes and fully aligned with their external customers.
Jeremy Frey (University of Southampton), Cecilia Björkdahl (Karolinska Institute) and Lawrence Percival-Alwyn (The Genome Analysis Centre) gave presentations that covered various aspects of IT such as nomenclature and novel methods to capture data.
John Trigg (phaseFour Informatics), Peter Boogaard (Industrial Lab Automation), Mike Elliott (Atrium Research), Bernhard Schirm (Quattro Research) delivered particularly revealing presentations that shed light on current IT trends.
The presenters lookedat how the lines between ELNs and LIMs are becoming blurred, the increasing trend of externalizing R&D despite a relatively small percentage of organisations having an externalisation strategy in place and cloud computing. No doubt these topics will continue to have a high profile in the future of IT conferences.
Taken together, this meeting presented research at the forefront of IT solutions including ELNs and LIMs with speakers from broad backgrounds. It was an excellent forum for the exchange of ideasamong researchers covering both academia and industrial efforts in the field of drug discovery.

Rumors have been floating around the Internet that Samsung is planning on unveiling not one, but two, variants of the Galaxy Gear 2 along with the Galaxy S5 at Barcelona in MWC next week. @evleaks just confirmed these rumors and even posted a low-quality blurry picture, giving the world its first glimpse as to what the two Galaxy Gear 2 variants will look like.
Samsung Gear: Reviews, Specs, Apps, Models & News
Galaxy Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo make an appearance courtesy of @evleaks (Update: Apparently not!)
Best Buy drops Galaxy Gear price to $150, gears up for Galaxy Note 3 promo
If you thought there was no way Samsung could unveil a second-generation Galaxy Gear smartwatch later this month, at MWC, since its predecessor is still fairly young, you may want to reconsider.
The Galaxy Gear 2 will be unveiled in London in March or April and look nothing like the original
Samsung's Galaxy Gear, the company's first attempt at a smart watch, wasn't exactly well received by the market. It shipped with hilariously premature software that crippled the battery life and made notifications useless. It also shipped with support for only smartphone, the Galaxy Note 3. It doesn't matter that the software got better and compatibility increased a month or two after the product started shipping, because people read the initial Gear reviews, got a bad taste in their mouths, and decided to skip the watch.
Tinkerers have figured out how to make the Galaxy Gear work with Google's Nexus 5
Samsung's smart watch, the Galaxy Gear, is a great product (read my review) that's unfortunately priced too high and only works with other Samsung devices. Actually, scratch that, the second point has just been made moot thanks to the work done by people who live in the XDA forums. If you have the patience to follow this nine step installation process detailed on Smartwatch Fans, then you can make a Galaxy Gear work with a Nexus 5. Note that they've tried to make the Gear with other Android phones, but have failed.
Samsung's Galaxy Gear: I think I'm the only person on Earth that actually likes this thing
Watches are a touchy subject. If you're a young person, you've probably never owned one because you've relied on your phone to tell you the time since you learned the letters of the alphabet. If you're older, you probably owned a watch or two at some point, but then you eventually got a phone and failed to see the need to own a device that required manual calibration every few months. As for me, I got my first phone right as I got my first car. Before then, I had several time pieces. Nothing fancy, but enough so that I could coordinate my watch with my outfits.
Video: Fleksy brings a QWERTY keyboard to Samsung's smart watch, the Galaxy Gear
Samsung's Galaxy Gear isn't just some dumb Bluetooth screen that displays notifications. It's a full blown Android device with an OLED screen, 800 MHz processor, and half a gigabyte of RAM. Because of that, you can sideload applications on it, which is exactly what the guys at Fleksy have done. They wanted to input text on their Gear instead of taking their phone out, so they wrote a keyboard. From the quick hands-on video that The Verge produced, it looks like it actually works too!
Samsung's latest Galaxy Gear ad is the most cringe worthy thing you will see this year
Samsung advertisements have generally been a hit or a miss. Sometimes, the company manages to come up with some truly excellent ads, and sometimes, its ads end up suggesting that their products can help you get laid. Samsung is now ending the year by releasing a new advert for the Galaxy Gear, that is hilariously bad.
Verizon's Galaxy Note 2 update brings the latest version of Jelly Bean and Galaxy Gear compatibility
A couple of days ago, the Verizon's Galaxy S3 started receiving its Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update. Joining it today is its bigger brother, the Galaxy Note 2. The Sprint and T-Mobile variant of the Note 2 have already received their fair share of Jelly Bean love, with the Verizon variant joining them today.
Video: Samsung's latest Galaxy Gear ad is a Christmas version of a creepy self-help seminar
Christmas is just two weeks away, which means you're going to get absolutely plastered with ads from companies trying to convince you that if you don't buy their newest widgets, you'll end up feeling lonely, depressed, and out of touch with mainstream culture. So with those cheery holiday thoughts in the back of your mind, check out Samsung's new ad for their smart watch, the Galaxy Gear.
Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watch gets its first custom ROM
Samsung has shipped almost 800,000 units of its Galaxy Gear smart watch since launch and is gearing up to push the watch in the final months of this fiscal year. Folks that scoop them up this holiday season will be able to some fun hacking thisdevice if they so please. Besides the basic tweaks, the first custom ROM has made its appearance on the forums over at xda-developers.

Privacy breach reveals lack of ethical integrity
It was revealed this week that highly personal information about Sean Bruyea, an outspoken critic of veterans' affairs in Canada, was included in a 2006 briefing note for a federal cabinet Minister (Psychiatric report of veterans critic inserted in minister's briefing: documents, Toronto Star, September 21 2010). Apparently, the briefing note was seen by several senior bureaucrats. In addition, Mr. Bruyea's file was accessed by hundreds of people, who shared Mr. Bruyea's private information with hundreds more, including political staffers.
With few exceptions (relating mainly to legal compliance), Canada's Privacy Act prohibits the use and disclosure of personal information without the consent of the individual to whom it relates, except for the purpose for which the information was originally obtained. In this case, the private information was originally collected to determine Mr. Bruyea's eligibility under a disability program, but appears to have been used to undermine Mr. Bruyea's credibility as a policy critic.
The mis-use and disclosure of Mr. Bruyea's personal information is an appalling breach of privacy that should concern us for several reasons. Read why here…

First dates are highly unpredictable. The uncertainties associated with meeting a new person can be overwhelming. Rhetorical questions flow through your brain like whirlwinds and you're simply not sure of what to expect. The situation is worse when you've only through online dating! The first physical meeting is tense and you will always be immersed in thoughts contemplating the possible eventualities. Let's look at the perfect first date!
Luckily, researchers have determined what's likely to work on your first date and what you should entirely dodge. Here are some tips that can guarantee a perfect date for you:
1, Honesty
Approximately 81% of people give misleading information on their online profiles. This can lead to embarrassing first dates. It's always recommended that you include your accurate data such as age, height, weight, and complexion. Honesty is a definite method to avoid unpleasant situations during your first date.
2, Your outfit
You should strive to ensure that you remain your authentic self during the date. If you try a new outfit that you've never worn before, you are likely to have an awkward experience. For example, if you're used to wearing flowing dresses, never try to wear a miniskirt with the hope of impressing your new catch. It might just backfire on you terribly!
Also, ensure that you choose a color that will light up your moods. Here, you can go with your favorite color. If you aren't sure, then you can wear black. There exist enough research that proves that black can stir confidence. Just wear a nice outfit that will inspire self-love.
3, Conversation
It's likely that the environment will be tense during your first date. If you're not careful, you may find yourself in an embarrassing situation where there is an eerie silence from both parties.
But what kind of conversation is ideal for a first date?
You should never restrict yourself! If you attempt this, you're likely to run out of convo materials. It's advisable that you allow the conversation to flow naturally.
A study conducted to determine the ideal topics for a first date showed that the majority of people endorse politics, religion, and financial conversations. When you engage in such topics, you're likely to veer into a topic that you are conversant with which will restore the natural environment.
However, there are specific topics that you should avoid. A whopping 86% are uncomfortable talking about their ex and 75% disapprove sports as a topic of discussion during your first date.
1, The manners
Never use your phone during your first date. If possible, you can activate the silent mode to avoid distractions. 75% of daters would immediately get disinterested in a person giving too much attention to their phones!
2, The length
According to Match's Singles survey in America, many daters think that the first date should take a maximum of two and a half hours. If it takes too long, you'll likely to get bored which will mess up your first date experience. It's advisable to keep it short but memorable!
The bottom line
This guide may not be universal! If you feel that you're okay with your first date, then you can always trust your guts. However, if you find the date frightening, then you can use these tips optimally. We have an accompanying article for the do's and don'ts of a first date you should read too.

"Highly Recommended ! "
I've really enjoyed working with Scott.
He has a very detailed understanding of sales, and sales processes, and with his 'granular view' (as he likes to call it), still manages to break common processes and practices down to a very fine level, and amazingly, does so while still making the training fun and engaging.
He has been a real pleasure, and I would recommend to anyone, experienced in sales or otherwise, who might benefit from a thoughtful and enlightening perspective on what makes sales and sales processes work

Well, lookie there, a David Beckham stadium project has actually taken a step forward:
On Wednesday, Miami commissioners voted to hold a November referendum to ask voters if the city should negotiate a no-bid lease with Beckham's ownership group to build a $1 billion commercial and soccer stadium complex on the city's only municipal golf course, Melreese Country Club. Voters will decide if the city should make an exception to its competitive bidding law to allow the administration to negotiate the no-bid deal with the Beckham group, a for-profit private entity, to develop 131 acres of public land.
In other words, Miami city commissioner Ken Russell switched his vote to "yes," after Beckham's partner Jorge Mas agreed to phase in a minimum $15 an hour wage requirement for commercial tenants at the stadium complex. So score one for being the squeaky wheel.
The stadium plan will now be up to voters, which, you know, it's tough to complain about — if Miami residents think giving up a golf course for a reasonable price is a fair swap for getting a soccer stadium, then more power to them. (One still has to hope that Mas and Beckham won't sway them with campaign ads making phony economic claims as the Heat did 22 years ago, but that's a bridge we'll cross this fall.) Technically, the commission still has to negotiate an actual deal if the vote passes, but since Beckham and Mas already got three votes to hold the vote, it's unlikely those votes will flip back against them if a referendum passes.
So congrats to Beckham for finally, after so many long years, taking an actual step forward toward the MLS expansion franchise he was promised in exchange for signing with the Los Angeles Galaxy, and — sorry, what's that?
A lawsuit has been filed against the city of Miami claiming that it broke its charter when it entered into a no-bid deal to put a Major League Soccer stadium on city-owned property.
Well, it was an unreservedly good day for Becks for an hour or so, anyway.

martin lotti (creative director for NIKE football) interview
martin lotti (creative director for NIKE football) interview
top image: lotti with various brazil shirts designed by NIKE
designboom recently spoke to martin lotti, creative director for NIKE football, at the european launch of the 2014 brazilian national team kit in london.
DB: please can you tell us a bit about your background?
ML: I studied design at the art center college of design, first in la tour-de-peilz, switzerland and then over in the states at the los angeles campus. when I graduated is applied for an internship at NIKE and they offered me a job, which I didn't have to think very hard about accepting! back then I imagined I'd probably only work at NIKE for a few years but I've been here seventeen years now.
martin lotti, the swiss designer became creative director for NIKE football last year.
DB: what projects have you worked on at NIKE so far?
ML: I started out working in footwear; men's training shoes, women's training shoes and then women's performance shoes. then I was category creative director for all of women's training so that involved design for footwear, apparel and equipment. later I took on the role of creative director for NIKE's projects at the 2012 olympics in london. after the games I became creative director for NIKE Football global; football boots, club kits, national team kits, and the many projects we're working on for next year's world cup in brazil.
brazil national team home shirt 2014
DB: how long does a football kit take to design from start to finish?
ML: with this brazil kit we've been working on it since the last world cup. so in this case four years. at the beginning you are just dreaming about what it can be then the process intensifies right down to perfecting the smallest details. it all starts with us talking with the athletes and listening to them about what we can improve.
full kit – the shorts feature the brazilian varsity royal colorway with a white stripe and laser cut vents
DB: approximately how many people are involved in the design?
ML: it's a huge collaboration, with countless numbers of people. first we talk to the athletes, then the football association. then we spend time immersing ourself in the culture of the team, spending time in brazil and absorbing as much as we can. we then take all of this research back to our design offices in amsterdam and the US and 'squeeze out the sponge' as it were while we design the kit. the design process goes from a 2D process to a 3D process, to prototypes, then rigorous testing until we have our final kit. then it's production, launch and use. the whole process combines design, scientific research and testing, brand strategy, marketing, and retail.
david luiz poses in the new brazil kit by NIKE
DB: what insights did the brazil players give you in terms of the shirt's look?
ML: for them it's about two things. the yellow color and the crest. we paid a lot of attention to those things. the yellow is uninterrupted and bold. the crest is slightly larger than on the previous shirt and we removed the word 'brasil'.
it's a very clean, iconic and memorable kit from the outside but inside there are details that only the player will see, from up close. performance details like the laser cut ventilation and design details like on the reverse of the crest, on the inside of the shirt it says 'born to play football in portuguese'. there's also a 'canarinho' bird on the inside of the back, which is the nickname given to the team because of their yellow shirts.
a gold colored metallic weave was added to the larger crest
DB: what do the brazil players think of the new kit?
ML: those I've spoken to love it, especially the details I just mentioned. a funny thing that happened at the launch in brazil was when phil scolari said 'there's just one thing missing… the sixth star!'.
behind it on the inside of the jersey, lays a printed slogan 'nascido para jogar futebol'- brasilian portuguese for 'born to play football'.
DB: there's a lot of 'sacred ground' working when it comes to a national team kit.
what are the limitations you face how can they help you from a design perspective?
ML: for many brazilians the yellow shirt is the closest thing to the national flag. so we have to respect that and build upon it we can't seem to be re-designing a national flag. we honor the heritage and looked at how we could enhance it from a performance stand point. as a designer it's a dream project, an honor to work on the shirt that brazil will wear as hosts of the world cup.
DB: is an away kit more fun to design in some ways?
ML: home and away kits are equally fun but definitely different tasks. today there's usually a first, second and third kit for a club or country. each has a particular role and it's own specific opportunities. with a national team the first kit is almost like a national flag so your trying to stay true to that, whereas the third are more about capturing the character of the team or other aspects of the national culture, and sometimes these kits also have their own very specific history.
the 'canarinho' bird on the inside of the neck
DB: what does this new home kit represent about this moment in the country's history?
ML: its modern forward thinking and full of pride. this is the moment of brazil.
DB: do fans feature in the research when you are working on a football kit?
ML: we tend to think that if we do right by the athletes then we'll do right by the fans. it's also much easier for us to focus on the needs and opinions of the athletes. that said we do consult style leaders and influential people within the culture of the team to understand what's of importance to them. but ultimately we are designing a piece of performance equipment – so we need to deliver on that level first and foremost.
laser cut ventilation holes
DB: how can you do more in terms of sustainability with products that have a short shelf life?
ML: when we design at NIKE we consider four important things which are; performance, style, soul and sustainability. our solution should tick the right boxes in each of those areas, that's what makes a NIKE product. with regards to sustainability and this kit we have used recycled polyester in the socks, shorts, shirt and baselayer which is the first time in a kit. so it's high performance with a lower environmental impact. since we started introducing recycled polyester into our football products we've recycled over two-million water bottles.
DB: is there any way that kits could be upcycled in the way some sports shoes can?
ML: we found that people tend to want to keep their football kits because they have sentimental value. but we're always looking into how we can do things better. for example the dyes and textiles are something we constantly review to make sure that they are environmentally sound as possible.
view of the european launch of the 2014 brazilian national team kit in london.
DB: what's been the biggest challenge since you moved into NIKE football?
ML: rather than 'challenges' I think in terms of 'opportunities'. to be working in this position in the year that brazil will host the world cup brings a huge smile to my face. it's a massive responsibility but it's very exciting! I can't imagine how electric the atmosphere will be there this summer – it will be truly epic.
martin lotti
DB: what skills are you looking for when you recruit designers at NIKE football?
ML: passion. we're looking for people with a lot of it. if you love what you do, you will do great work. that's true in design or any other field. after that we're looking for designers who know how to listen. being a good listener is crucial to being a good designer and good problem solver.
in terms of a portfolio we're looking for people who can demonstrate conceptual thinking – not just a final image. people who can demonstrate a methodology. I'd think that advice applies to all areas of design whether it's designing football kits or airplanes or toothbrushes.
see our announcement of the 2014 brazilian national team kit »
"with a national team the first kit is almost like a national flag so your trying to stay true to that"
That's why Nike turned Portugal's shorts from green to red? Totally taking our National identity away from the kit to look like Liverpool? Or the fact we now have a red/crimson striped home shirt with ridiculous and unnecessary green "T's" on the shoulders to further the joke? Nike's design staff are lazy hacks who do whatever random crap comes to mind and milks free vacations out of it. The Brazil kit changed the collar and this hack goes on and on about the work he put into it?

Have you ever been scouring the web for backyard garden drop diy intends to function as a project this weekend?
You do not need to miss this! I know what it is like to run from storage space particularly once you get a nagging reminder by your spouse to do something about it. Consider alternate storage although maybe not an awful one.
Now my garage is filled with my things I've gathered through the years so that I decided it was time to construct my very own backyard garden drop for storage. From the backyard garden discard designs I looked through the most crucial thing for me personally was in order to readily access any of my things whomever I wanted it. It had been very important for me to not need to pull out everything or need to climb more than things to locate what I wanted.
Unconventional and difficult to find programs
Fortunately, I discovered a pair of professionally designed custom garden sheds on the internet with two pair of doorways, one in front and another in the rear. Yes, the further doorway did create the project price more and took extra effort to put in but it had been worth the peace of mind. It is good to know I can easily get into the things I want when I need them because you will find two doorways. Both door backyard garden fall causes an issue — where do I place this arrangement? You see most homeowners will put their drop up from their backyard fence however I wanted both doorways to be vulnerable! Yup, you guessed it I turned the building and problem resolved.
Three important things to consider
Just take some opportunity to level the floor in which you intend on building the drop.
Make the attempt to put in a good base if you anticipate your drop last. Not certain what size that your backyard garden shed structure will soon be but you might have to put in a permanent base of piers installed under ground level.

New York — The timing couldn't be better for the International Emmys to honour Downton Abbey writer and creator Julian Fellowes as the acclaimed British period drama wraps up its sixth and last season with a Christmas Day finale on Britain's ITV.Elizabeth McGovern, who stars as Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham, and the show's executive producer Gareth Neame will present the honorary International Emmy Founders Award to Fellowes on Monday night at the Hilton New York.Downton Abbey was never nominated for an International Emmy honouring excellence in TV productions outside the U.S. because its producers opted to compete in the Primetime Emmys, winning 12 awards and earning the most nominations ever for an international TV series. The show's final season begins airing on PBS in the U.S. on 3 January 2016.Downton Abbey, portraying the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants amid the backdrop of such historical events as the sinking of the Titanic and World War I, has become one of the most popular TV shows in the world, airing in at least 150 countries."We give the Founders Award to somebody whose work crosses cultural boundaries to touch our common humanity," said Bruce L. Paisner, president and CEO of the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. "It's amazing with Downton — almost any place you go in the world people watch it, like it and refer to the characters.""In the guise of early 20th century aristocrats and the people who work for them, Julian has recreated everybody so people can see themselves and their situations and their life in these characters."Ceremony to be hosted by the 'Jon Stewart of the Arab world'
The presentation to Fellowes will highlight the International Emmy Awards ceremony in which 40 nominees from 19 countries will be competing in 10 categories. The ceremony will be hosted by Egyptian satirist Bassem Youssef, dubbed "the Jon Stewart of the Arab world."Britain garnered a leading seven International Emmy nominations, led by Sheridan Smith, who received a best actress nod for her role in Cilla about the rise to stardom of pop singer and TV personality Cilla Black. Rafe Spall was nominated for best actor for his role opposite Jon Hamm in the techno-thriller White Christmas, the holiday special of the anthology series Black Mirror.Brazil's five nominees include two shows that received double nominations. Doce de Mae (Sweet Mother), about a matriarch who confronts issues of aging while dispensing wisdom to her family, was nominated for best comedy and actress (Fernanda Montenegro). The series Psi (Psy), depicting the adventures of an unconventional psychotherapist, received nods for best drama and actor (Emilio de Mello).Also competing for best drama series are Britain's My Mad Fat Diary, France's Engrenages (Spiral) and Japan's MOZU Season 1 - Night Cry of the MOZU. The other comedy series nominees include France's Fais Pas Ci, Fais Pas Ca (Don't Do This, Don't Do That), Colombia's Familia en Venta, South Africa's Puppet Nation ZA, and Canada's Sensitive Skin.Michael Douglas, who won a Primetime Emmy for his portrayal of flamboyant pianist Liberace in the HBO film Behind the Candelabra, will present the honourary International Emmy Directorate Award to Richard Plepler, chairman and CEO of HBO.

The new 2017 Chevrolet Malibu has had a major relook at its platform, with new construction techniques resulting in a lighter, significantly tighter handling sedan. What exactly does the mid-almost-large segment stalwart bring to the showroom?
The car buyer is being chased by the industry. That is a truism that holds good like at no other time in the collective history of the four-wheeler. As global audiences evolve and their idea of what to expect in a car changes, the automotive industry is managing to almost keep pace, bringing technology and new drivetrains at a blistering pace.
Take a look at what's happening with the Chevrolet Malibu. It is a rather storied marque, bringing with it an image of upmarket Americana and a hint of the salty spray off the Pacific Ocean. Over the years, the badge has gone from a variant of the rear-wheel drive Chevelle, to a standalone badge and has even weathered a phase out and return. Now, it is a regular feature of the American road and targets customers that may not be able to opt for the larger Impala. In this generation, which debuted as a 2016 MY car in 2015, the Malibu looks ever so much like a slightly different Impala.
This new car is built on a completely new platform (the E2XX), using the modularity of the new platform to offer a wheelbase that is stretched out by 4-inches over the previous car. What this does is instantly make the cabin significantly roomier with generous rear legroom and headroom dimensions, despite the almost coupé-like sweep of the roof towards the rear deck.
The car is also wider than before, with a lower roofline, so the end result is far more dynamic even before you factor in the new styling changes around the front grille that lend a visual feel of a squatter bonnet and wrap-around fascia. The styling includes generous use of chrome garnish strips to highlight the black maws of the grille, perhaps with a touch too much of enthusiasm, as the combination of the Chevy logo on the horizontal bar, chrome surrounds and bright new LED lighting is almost at bling levels. But, that's what customers want nowadays, so who are we to argue? And it does keep continuity from the previous model generation.
The rear of the car is thankfully slightly less overt in its detailing, as is the profile itself, which uses the chrome treatment to highlight the greenhouse area. The profile looks quite dynamic and sporty, marred only by the rather prominent ratios of the front-wheel drive car with a front-axle set off to the rear of the engine centre-line.
But that's really not the area where the sales pitch will happen. The new interiors have been really worked on. The dashboard is an amalgam of multi-layered surfaces, with the lower grades getting a textured fabric inlay among all the soft-feel plastics, while the higher grades get the benefit of pseudo-leather inserts. The look and feel of the fabric is so reminiscent of a Skechers outer surface that you automatically opt for the better looking LTZ interiors.
The actual design of the instrument panel and centre console is quite improved with the LT and LTZ variants getting the larger 8-inch display, while the base 7-inch is used on the LS. The major new features here are the provision of Apple CarPlay as part of the car's infotainment kit, with almost seamless integration and operation. All you need to do is plug in the cable and authorise it from your phone. Additionally the car gets forward collision alert, rear cross-traffic warning, parking assist, lane keep assist and even pedestrian collision alert with braking.
The cars being sent to our region lack the US spec ability for tracking teenage car users as well as the choice of turbocharged engines that it comes with on the continent. Instead, the car gets the drivetrain off the last Malibu, a 2.5-litre ECOTEC engine with 186hp output mated with the 6-speed automatic transmission.
The gearshift lever is also a carryover from the past generation with its plus and minus so-called manual override offered as a button on top of the lever. As we had commented on in the previous generation, it isn't usable as a regular tiptronic, needing you to rest your right hand continuously on the lever in order to operate the toggle. In any case you can't use the toggle unless the gearshift selector is in L, effectively making the manual override some sort of fine control only for hill climb or trailer towing operations. And no, there is no paddle shift control available on the steering wheel. So the drive controls make this a sedan that is targeted at the fleet and commuter.
Driving Impressions
Straight off the bat, the car is a significant improvement over the previous generation. Yes, the cabin is the biggest draw, that and the fact that the car is seriously engineered for a muted NVH experience. If all you are looking for is a comfortable drive with almost no interference from the road, this is the car for you. The lighter body does not sacrifice anything in terms of comfort – the torsional stiffness is definitely better.
The grunt from the 186hp engine is more than adequate for a car of this size. While it isn't likely to leave many rubber strips on the tarmac, the feel you get is of a competent powerpack that has thankfully steered clear of going with a CVT like some of the competition. Steering effort is minimal, while the sense of feedback is rather muted although surprisingly accurate.
Once you realise that the car is meant to be a commuter's delight you stop trying to fiddle with the +/- on the gearshift and settle into predictable rhythms.
A capable, competent, well-thought out package is our initial assessment of the car. While some of the selling is done on the basis of perceptible quality, the real gainer for the brand will be if their promise of a lower ownership cost stands the test of time. They are promising a lower cost than on the Camry and Altima and even factor in the Sonata as a runner up.
But then, that's really the car's strength – trying to offer a value for money package on a well-crafted platform. Seriously, all we would ask for extra is the option to select a more modern choice of engine and gearbox for some spirited driving.[jpro_cars title="" make="chevrolet" model="malibu" year="2017″ fuel="all" condition="all" mileage="all" price="all"][/jpro_cars]
