7 Steps to Building an Extremely Profitable Mobile Hair Business
Have you ever thought about escaping the salon and starting your own mobile hair business?
Imagine the perks! Keeping all of your revenue and product sales. Controlling your own schedule. Escaping the salon drama. Enjoying more privacy with your clients.And having the freedom and independence to run your own business on YOUR terms, not someone else's.
Sounds great, right? Well, it's within your reach! But that doesn't mean it will be easy. Lucky for you, we at Cribcut have done the research and gathered all the practical, hands-on experience you could ask for. And we've put together the 7 steps you NEED to take in order to operate your own successful, independent, mobile hair business.
Maintain—or start—your online presence.
Mobile-Responsive Website: In today's world, having an online presence is a MUST. If you don't have a professional-looking, mobile-responsive website, clients will find the next stylist who does. At a bare minimum, your website should:
- Highlight your hair background and education
- Showcase your work through client photos
- Include testimonials from some of your most loyal clientele
- Give a breakdown of your prices and services along with your contact information
Social Media: Your social media profiles can't be forgotten, either. In fact, they're equally important as your website. Having a regularly updated social media presence is critical in giving your potential clients confidence that you're both active as a stylist and on top of your game!
The most common networks on which to build your profile are Instagram and Facebook, but if you have the bandwidth, try experimenting with Snapchat and Twitter too. Whichever platform you choose, just make sure to keep your profiles up-to-date weekly—if not daily! It's also good to mention that you're a "travelling hair- stylist" somewhere in your profile description.
Make scheduling and payment easy for clients.
Instant Payments: As instant payments, credit cards, and on-demand services become more and more prevalent, asking your clients to text or DM you for a booking doesn't cut it anymore. You need to remove as much friction as possible from your clients' booking experience. It will result in more appointments booked for you and a larger client list! Use a scheduling tool to accept payments online and give your clients up-to-the-minute information on your availability.
Automation: Having an automated system is also going to make your life a heck of a lot easier. Instead of texting back and forth and constantly looking at your calendar, an online booking system acts as your "virtual receptionist" and shows clients up-to-date information on appointment availability. You want to be so busy that you don't have time to be texting back and forth with clients!
Have the right equipment.
Lean and Mean: As a mobile stylist, you have one huge advantage compared to your fellow salon owners: you have basically no overhead! While salon owners have to pay monthly rent, make constant cosmetic upgrades to their storefront, and keep all the physical equipment in the salon clean and updated, you can stay "lean and mean" as you travel from client to client.
But you will need some equipment as a travelling hair professional. After spending years as mobile stylists, here's our list of "must have" items for your travelling hair business:
Rolling Case: You want a case that is portable and large enough to store your tools, yet lightweight to make traveling easy. You don't want to be lugging around a heavy case all day! There are several travelling stylist cases on the market, and you'll need to find the one that fits your needs best.Professional-grade cases have plenty of individual storage compartments, which can be rearranged according to each stylist's specific needs. We can even give you expert recommendations for organizing it!
Portable Vacuum: If we could give new mobile stylists one piece of advice, it would be not to forget to clean up the mess when you leave a client's home or office! Clients LOVE having you come to them and will oftentimes pay more for that luxury, but they do expect a certain level of cleanliness. In our expe- rience as mobile stylists,the number-one question we get before a client books an appointment is this: "What happens to the mess?" So grab a portable vacuum, put it in your backpack, and don't forget to clean up before you leave. You might even get some big tips because of it.
Shampoo Tray and Hose: We've found that most clients, as long as they're mobile enough, don't mind simply washing their hair in the sink. However, some clients such as seniors or hospital patients may not have that luxury. It's a good idea to keep some shampooing tools in your car for those times you might need them. These tools could include a shampoo tray, an inflatable basin, a portable hose, or even something as advanced as the WashMeGo mobile hair washing system.
Mind your safety and insurance.
Make Safety a Priority: As a mobile stylist, safety is your number-one priority. In the unlikely event that something unexpected were to happen on your day-to-day journeys, you want to be prepared.
On top of your safety, you also want to make sure you're protected financially with business insurance. Every smart business owner insures themselves and their operation. What if a client trips over your cord? What if you take a tumble at a client's house? These events are all unlikely, but that's why insurance is there—just in case!
Here are a few ideas on how to stay safe as a mobile stylist:
Research Your Clients Ahead of Time: Do they have Facebook? A LinkedIn account? Doing a quick Google search on your new clients should give you a pretty good indication of who they are.
Have an Emergency Contact: Whether it's a significant other, parent, or best friend, it can't hurt to have someone on speed dial and ready to ring.
Keep a Record of Your Appointments: On top of the day-to-day convenience of an online scheduling system, there's one more benefit: an easily viewable record of all your appointments. This way, you'll have a track record of where you are and who your clients are.
Get Credit Cards for First-Time Bookings: By only accepting credit cards, you'll have a form of "identity" on file for each new client. This will deter any would-be troublemakers from using your services. One step ahead of this even? Find a sche- duling system that makes clients create an account with Facebook login—which is exactly what we do at Cribcut. This is just one more step of verification for you to ensure your safety.
Have the proper independent business structure and licensing.
Business Structure: When you become a mobile stylist, you become a business owner! For many reasons, including tax breaks and protection, you should set up the proper business structure.
This is oftentimes very affordable and easy to set up, but it will vary by state or province. Typically, registering yourself as a sole proprietor should do the trick. Lots of legal firms offer free advice on this type of information, so do a quick Google search and find out the rules for your area!
Licensing: You'll want to check with your local hair association on the licensing requirements for mobile stylists. Some areas are more lenient than others, but a call to your local rep will answer any questions you might have.
Establish a strong financial foundation.
Stay on Top of Your Finances: One of the most important decisions you can make as an entrepreneur is staying on top of your finances. This means putting the right amount away for taxes and keeping track of your eligible expenses (which you're able to write off, by the way!).
One of the easiest and best investments you can make is hiring the right bookkeeper. They'll pay dividends many times over and save you from any unexpected surprises come tax season. If there's one person you want to pay, even before yourself, it's the tax man!
Build your client base.
You love doing hair, right? It's probably why you became a stylist in the first place. But how do you find clients and maintain relationships with them? Perhaps more than any other step listed above, finding new clients and keeping them happy are the keys to your success.
Clients will already love the fact that you come to them (instead of making them travel to the salon), so you have a built-in advantage. But it will still require some hustle to build up a group of loyal and high-paying customers.
Here are some ideas you can start implementing today:
Maintain and Active Socia Media Presence: Post frequently and use popular hashtags to attract more viewers.
Ask for Referrals: Have a happy client? Now's the time to ask for a referral! Leave business cards with your happiest clients and encourage them to spread the word about your new mobile business.
Buy and Sell Groups: Actively post on Facebook, Kijiji, Craigslist, and other local groups. Keep an eye out for those seeking a new stylist. Including discounts for first-time customers is a good idea in these marketplaces.
Post Flyers at Local Establishments Grocery stores, community halls, and churches are some of the best places to post a flyer.
Hospitals and Senior Communities: Reach out to your local hospital or retirement home and to see if you can leave business cards or flyers. Those with limited mobility, no means of transportation, or who just need a "boost" with a fresh hairdo may become some of your most loyal and happy clientele.
Advertise While You Drive: Why not display a magnet on the side of your car? You'll be visiting so many different homes and offices that this is consistent free advertising!
Leave Brochures at Local Businesses: Business owners love helping other business owners, so it's worth reaching out to a few to see if you can leave some marketing materials around their offices. Perhaps even offer a discount to incentivize those booking with you for the the first time.
What are you waiting for? Begin your mobile stylist journey today!
Running your own mobile hair salon can be both extremely lucrative and rewarding. But you'll need to be willing to put in the work to make
it happen! The 7 steps listed above should give you a good indication of what it takes to be a successful mobile hair stylist.
If you're interested in taking on this new opportunity but don't want to go at it totally alone, consider joining us at Cribcut!

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS Plan To Work On New Music In 2018
December 15, 2017
According to The Pulse Of Radio, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS plan to mostly stay off the road in 2018 and begin writing new music. Asked about the group's plans for the new year, drummer Chad Smith told ABC Radio: "We're just gonna take a break for the rest of this year, and then we'll start up [and] probably write some more songs next year. Hopefully [we'll] make a record at some point. That's the plan."
Following a benefit that took place Thursday night (December 14) in San Francisco to raise money for wildfire relief, the CHILI PEPPERS are only scheduled for now to headline three Lollapalooza festivals in Argentina, Chile and Brazil next March.
Other than that, Smith said: "There's not gonna be any more touring next year, really," adding, "We're just concentrating on writing more songs and getting better and trying to keep doing what we're doing, 'cause we love it."
Singer Anthony Kiedis told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that every record the CHILI PEPPERS have released is special to the band in its own way. "I feel like every record we make is a milestone," he said. "Every record we make sums up where we've been and where we're at when we make it. They all strike me as being very poignant indicators of who and what we are at that point in time."
The California quartet spent much of 2017 touring in support of their 11th studio album, 2016's "The Getaway".

Andrea Anderson
I've always had a passion for real estate, even though it wasn't my first career. When buying my first home, I found the entire process fascinating — from house hunting to closing. I left a large international brokerage firm to work with a smaller boutique real estate agency, in order to better serve my community and the people who live in it. Buying or selling a home can be exciting, but it can also be stressful. It's particularly stressful for first-timers and those who have a short timeline. I know this firsthand, because I've been there myself. That's why I work extra hard to keep my clients informed, and to make the process as smooth as possible.
My Pledge to you:
Whether you are buying or selling, I understand the process can often be challenging and complicated. I focus on taking the pressure off of you, so you can make clear and concise decisions throughout the process. If you have any questions about my real estate services, or what I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to serving you!

Who doesn't like extra cash in their wallet?
An easy way to save money is by applying simple, effective energy conservation methods. We do it all the time, whether we realize it or not. With a little intention and a little effort, you can really make a difference. You can off a light, you can air dry your clothes, and so on. These simple tricks lower your bills and keep more money in your pocket.
There are plenty of ways you can apply energy conservation methods to save you money. But before we go into action, we need to understand the background first.
What Does Energy Conservation Mean?
To put it simply, energy conservation is the prevention of wasted energy. When you conserve energy, you lower your energy consumption.
Why Should You Implement Energy Conservation Methods?
There are several good reasons why you should practice energy conservation. Not only will you save money and keep your bills low, but it's great for the environment too. You can even increase the value of your property. Who doesn't love greater home equity?
Now that you know what it all means and why you should do it, check out our favorite methods below to get started.
Top 11 Energy Conservation Methods
1. Switch to solar
It's not just good for the environment, but possibly the easiest way to lower bills without foregoing your favorite electricity habits. Solar power helps your household use far less of the traditional utility-provided electricity, meaning you lower your bills dramatically. Solar panels also help offset the costs incurred during a power outage (including keeping appliances such as the refrigerator running).
Better still, solar rates are much more stable; you can lock in low electricity rates for a long time, while utilities raise rates frequently and unpredictably.
Read here how our solar installation process works to help save you money!
Want to hear more about low cost solar power?
Call Us: 855-857-2567
2. Change out your light bulbs
Take out your incandescent light bulbs and replace them with energy efficient light bulbs like LEDs or compact florecent bulbs. Although they are more expensive, they cost you less in the long run because they use less energy. They also last much, much longer – several years, in fact.
3. Buy appliances that are energy efficient
Make sure you purchase appliances with the ENERGY STAR label. Those come with a federal guarantee that your appliance will consume less energy. Again, these will be more expensive but will save you money over time.
4. Invest in a programmable thermostat
These are great for keeping costs low. You can set them to automatically turn off, or reduce heating or cooling in your home while you are away.
5. Seal air leaks in your home
Weatherize your home by making sure all windows and doors are properly sealed. Implement techniques like weather stripping or caulking. Make sure your attic is properly insulated to keep heat inside.
6. Turn off your electrical gadgets
Resist the urge to use stand by mode! You can save a lot of money by fully turning off your electrical gadgets and appliances.
You can save even more money by keeping things unplugged when you're not using them – your toaster, your phone chargers, etc.
7. Upgrade your heating and air conditioning systems
Look for the ENERGY STAR label when replacing your heating and air conditioning equipment. Be sure to purchase your AC and furnace at the same time to ensure they operate at their maximum rated energy efficiency.
8. Add motion detectors to external lighting
This ensures external lights only come on when needed. And don't forget to use energy efficient light bulbs! Halogen bulbs are great for external lighting.
9. Purchase low flow fixtures to conserve water
Buying low flow fixtures such as faucets, showerheads, or toilets can save gallons of water and save you money on your water bill.
10. Close your doors
It's a good rule of thumb to make sure your refrigerator and oven doors stay closed. Keep that cold or hot air contained. Remember to close your front door as well.
11. Keep your filters clean
Always empty your dryer's lint filter so the appliance operates efficiently. Also remember to change out the filter in your furnace regularly for the same reason.
Start Saving Money on Your Electric Bills
Implementing these energy conservation methods will make you energy efficient and save you money. They're fast and easy to do, and there's no reason to delay – especially on switching to solar power!
Reach out to Horizon Solar Power to set up a free consultation to see how solar power will put more money in your pocket each month!

Trump Vs Planned Parenthood // Why Australian Women Give a Damn
The day after the election of Donald Trump to President of the United States in January 2017, tens of thousands of women marched in the USA, Australia, Scandinavia and right across the world, hot on the streets on their hometown in protest.
We think it goes without saying that any man preparing to eradicate Planned Parenthood's lifesaving services and make it harder and harder for women to have control over their own bodies and medical choices is not one you'd like to see running your local corner store, let alone one of the most powerful and influential nations in the world. Yet the argument goes that the U.S is a long way away from Australia and we've got enough of our own problem politicians to worry about here. Why the hell would we care about what's happening on the other side of the world?
As journalism graduate, passionate globe trotter and proud U.S citizen Jill Martin told us,
'The election of Donald Trump, a brash racist and proven misogynist has brought to light the staggering levels of sexism we still have to fight throughout the west and the concerning questions we all have about the future of women.
Regardless of where they're from, how can women speak out against men who violate them when a man with a long history of objectifying women is now a key player in global politics? How can the future include powerful female contribution if we allow our boys to grow up with as little respect for women as the U.S president? The truth is it can't, so we marched to let our voices as women be heard across the world.
The concerns of female autonomy, access to healthcare and rights to one's own body struck a chord even in your hometown of Melbourne with thousands gathering to protest against the re-emersion of a sexist patriarchal world order.'
How we're doing our bit at Silent Arrow… and how you can do yours.
Women's rights are a core value of likeminded retailer The Other Wild who share our belief in a world that celebrates female autonomy and empowerment. In a show of support for our sisters in the States, the Women's March Movement and Girl Power around the world we've featured The Other Wild's 'The Future is Female' tee in our latest photoshoot to help raise awareness and much needed sales. We urge all you true rad girls out there to join the cause and do your bit by purchasing your 'The Future is Female' t-shirt as 25% of all sales go directly to Planned Parenthood, an epic organisation founded on the idea that women should have the information and care they need to live strong, healthy lives and fulfil their dreams… no ceiling, no limits.

Spanish Wells
|Kintala is in the middle of the row
|Two of our neighbors on a doggie run
And the fact is I like this little town. Not nearly as "prettied up" as Hope Town or New Plymouth; Spanish Wells is a working class place. Home to a fishing fleet it also boasts the kind of hard working boatyard that warms this old mechanic's soul. Golf Carts buzz around along with a swarm of 50 and 75cc Japanese motorcycles. Little water taxis come and go and, twice a day, a huge Power Cat Taxi (looking more like a train) finds its way in and out. It is all very human and busy, yet Island friendly with the natives exhibiting a bewildering mix of accents. People born and raised within yards of each other sound like they came from different ends of the English speaking world. It is equal parts strange and delightful. This place just makes me smile, which is probably worth the $20 / day all by itself.

Getting off to a good start breast feeding yourpremature baby can be difficult. But with someeducation and planning it can be done succesfully.
Successfully being able to breastfeed your premature baby depends on both your commitment and your baby's health and outlook after leaving the hospital.
The best way to get off to a good start is to start pumping your breastmilk right after delivering your premature baby. The first few days after birth provide the colostrum your baby needs to fight infection and this is critical for preterm babies born prior to 37 weeks gestation. Their immune systems are not fully developed and they need any extra boost they can get.
Depending on how early your baby was, you may or may not be able to give him or her your breastmilk. Some babies need to wait until they mature a little more. In that case, you only need to store your milk in a freezer, which most every NICU has. If breastmilk is expected to be used within a few days, a couple days in the refrigerator will suffice.
While your baby is in the hospital, keeping up with a pumping schedule is crucial. Every two to three hours you should pump both your breasts and store the milk where provided in the NICU. Even at night, you need to wake up every few hours like you would if you had a newborn at home. Nighttime pumping is essential to building a healthy milk supply.
If at all possible, avoid bottles in the NICU and try to have your baby finger-fed with a small tube attached to your finger which supplies your milk from a syringe. As your baby sucks on a finger they receive your breastmilk.
As soon as your baby is able to nurse in your arms, do it. The sooner the better for your baby. And once you can keep up that routine as well. A baby is much more effective at getting milk from your breasts than a pump is. You will find that you may express only a small amount when pumping but that your baby gains better once he or she is nursing at the breast.
Once your baby is discharged to go home from the hospital, you may still need to pump if your are still building your milk supply. And if your baby needs to wean off bottles for some reason, just take it slow and don't rush. Even if your baby cannot nurse exclusively from the breast for awhile, the fact that your preemie is getting your milk is what really counts.

Without the help of Diaconia's youth center, all of this would just not be possible. Roland needs special guidance in his life right now. His grandma gets so happy when we come over bringing food, clothes and school supplies. "It's a real blessing for us," she remarks. We also provide a hot meal for Roland when he comes each day to the youth center. One of the family's income sources comes when the grandmother collects wild herbs, mushrooms and berries and sells them at the local market or on the street corner. The only constant income is a tiny pension the grandfather gets because he is ill. Thanks to your help, we will keep hope alive in Roland's family!

Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan will not be in a position to make people smile when he announces how taxes will be increased to save our country from disaster."The purpose of a budget is to plan ahead so that there are sufficient funds to cover expenses. "Tax is the method to increase income and unfortunately as citizens of this country, we will all bear the price toward solving this problem created for us," warned Fourie.READ: Taxpayers will feel brunt of Gordhan's whipHere are some of his predictions for a budget which may be the most significant yet for South Africa's young democracy:Income1. Personal tax will rise by between 2% and 3% on all levels, taking the higher bracket from 41% to 43% and even as high as 44%.2. VAT will increase from 14% to 15%.3. The fuel levy: We should expect another increase.4. Corporate tax: No increase expected here as taxing the corporates will have a direct influence on slowing down economic growth even further, something SA can't afford at this stage.5. Sin tax: An increase should always be expected.6. Capital gains tax: A higher inclusion rate should be expected, rising from 33.3% up to 40% for individuals and companies and from 66.6% up to 70% for companies and trusts.ExpenditureOn expenditure, Fourie said government spend must be reduced and government employees' salaries must be managed in line with the budget, something which did not happen in 2015. "The higher increases created part of the problem we are facing now," said Fourie.* Visit our Budget Special and sign up for our newsletter for same day action on Pravin Gordhan's speech. share:

April 3, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
18th July 2011
Women have babies, men don't.
In primitive societies women can have at most eight to 10 children. Men can have hundreds. Will a woman hunt live prey, risking physical injury when she's pregnant with children to nurse? Is a man concerned about others' feelings if his chances of mating depend on his status and perceived hunting prowess?
Woman pass on genes (that make her and her offspring like they are) to the most offspring if they are good with people, i.e good at cooperative enterprise.
Men pass on their genes most if they handle weapons well and have high status, are good at competition. A man with no status or an uncooperative woman will pass on genes to less offspring, and thus less of successive population are like them.
Today, men and women are physically different, and tend to have different motivations and interests.
Consider magazines or TV. Men read about things, status symbols, watch Top Gear.
Women read about people, relationships, watch Gok Wan. Some are atypical, Margaret Thatcher was more "male" brained than most men, I like Gok Wan, but in the main the genders have different interests and motivations.
Neither is better, they're equal; but usually different.
Business has been seen as a male area – like hunting. Why else do people "bring home the bacon"? Consequently, the rewards are based on male interests.
If you do well at work you get status, cars, the big office, subordinates. You get recognition, are treated as a great hunter.
What does that do for most women? Nothing much. They can do the job, but when they join the board they find few rewards that they value. And perhaps they want to have children. Motherhood is a DIY project, they can't leave bearing children to their spouse and carry on being a hunter.
Some people realise that the claim "women lack experience", is largely due to a lack of role models, the equating of "experience" with "same experience as me" and that recruiting in your own image causes group think. Most don't see it and if women get there, the quota argument brands them as "token" anyway.
But when women stay on a board "on merit" they probably have the same sort of motivation and world view as most men and there is little cognitive diversity. If the women genuinely think differently to the men, they will tend to leave because they don't get rewards that they feel are worthwhile.
Actually to get diversity, you can't just cry "quota" or even encourage women, you have to change the system to provide diversity of incentive as well as cognitive diversity.

The artist creates post-modern assemblages for the internet age, mapping the chaotic network of images that we have become accustomed to online
Chris Dorland is an artist whose drag and drop approach to his imagery is organised by a chaotic logic. Layer upon layer is pasted across his canvas, while distortions and acid-hued washes lend the appearance of a screen still in the midst of processing a real excess of visual material. His latest series is 'Scanners', currently on show in a solo exhibition titled 'Chinese Ferrari body juice, easy abs diet, ryan gosling silicone core, deskjet 3520; first 500 get a free hoodie' at Five Eleven gallery. The listed format pervades; a pomegranate, a bottle of Gatorade; Robert Downey Jr, gel polished fingernails, smiling lips, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Colorlicious #365. All are subjects of the series, assembled without hierarchy or order; advertising, stock images and magazine editorials meet and interact at surprising angles. "The images are networked and cross referential," Dorland explains over the phone from New York. "There is a kind of chaos to them. I'll take two steps back, two steps forward, one step back, and one sideways. I want the work to have that sense of elasticity."
Stretching back across decades, 'Scanners' performs an abstract overview of the pop culture of the past. It is not a flexible feat of misty-eyed nostalgia that pervades Dorland's work, however, but rather a snapshot of the overwhelming accessibility of this archive now available in a digital age. "The paintings are a compression of time," he says. "It's a weird thing that we live in a time where we have access to the entire history, or at least a portion that history. So in the current moment we can go deep, really deep, into the past, while functioning in a digital network. In a weird way, that network is outside of time and space."
It is not a flexible feat of misty-eyed nostalgia that pervades Dorland's work, however, but rather a snapshot of the overwhelming accessibility of this archive now available in a digital age
This compression comprises a new form of collage: less Richard Hamilton's surreal take on society, more a direct evocation of modern life as we know it. Lived out in multiple browser windows, tabs and apps, where digitised museum archives will vie for attention alongside a new music video, Dorland's non-hierarchical visual assembly approximates this flattening of perspective. "There is an aspect of postmodernity to this, where we have all this access to the past, and it gets recirculated, reused and reabsorbed into the future. To me that is just a real thing that I observe, and therefore it ends up getting moved in into the work."
Dorland trained in painting, a background most apparent in the final physical nature of his work. Assembled onscreen, the pieces are then printed out large-scale to be hung. They are immersive; a bright spectacle of materiality that stands in opposition to the intangible ether of the online world. "The cables of the internet are hidden, and there's this whole infrastructure that our eyes don't see. There are these networks that have real ecological and financial impacts, and yet we think that it's all immaterial," he explains. "I think of the work as trying to grasp that, and speak to real world causes and repercussions that are maybe invisible to our eyes. All these different cross-references that I've made are an attempt on my part to map these structures that are not totally visible to the naked eye."
The cables of the internet are hidden, and there's this whole infrastructure that our eyes don't see. There are these networks that have real ecological and financial impacts, and yet we think that it's all immaterial
Red. Green. Blue. The base colours from behind the screen emerge fully in another series by Dorland, titled 'Image Render'. Here, these shades are unexpected and odd, and yet retain a familiar, primary edge. "I use those colour blocks as a way of ripping images apart and getting to what puts them together. It's like dismantling the image and revealing a sort of scaffolding, an underlying structure that we don't necessarily see when we're looking at something like a phone." The tools of construction are emphasised, the seamless design of an Adobe Photoshop package or iPhone 6 suddenly exposed and disruptive, naked and jagged.
This focus on the medium and materials of technology recurs throughout Dorland's work. It is immediately evident in the titling of his series: 'Scanners', 'Entertainment Hardware', 'Image Render'. Hardware is taken as their guiding framework, navigating through scanners, servers and screens. "I also think of painting as being a form of hardware," Dorland adds. "There is all of this history that gets compiled, and you can almost look at it as machinery. You have all these codes and systems that get applied to create something that's actually tangible and occurs inside a museum. You can think of museums in a hardware sense: they have these hard structures containing information, and we have codes and systems for reading that."
Dorland's multi-layered images are mobile, free-wheeling through an array of source material. Despite initial appearances, though, his work is not directly referential. Removed from the pull of the past, it is instead plugged firmly into a world of infinite data, lighting-fast web transfers and immediate downloads. This energy animates his pieces, their restless motion and flashes of colour redolent of our own digital connections and online impulses. Peel back their layers, and a rainbow is revealed.

Automatic pressure sensitive label application equipment is a boon to the packaging industry since it significantly helps reduce the costs associated with labeling. The increase in productivity can be substantial. It is not uncommon to produce an ROI measured in months. The advantage of automatic labeling equipment is its adaptability to different product sizes and shapes. Effective labeling simply needs you to determine the product material, label size and shape, the rate of application, and its location on the product. Then, choose one of the three primary techniques of automatic labeling: Merge, Tamp, or Blow on. Let's learn more about each technique.
Merge' or 'Wipe on' labeling is the most popular of the automatic labeling techniques available. The label is accelerated to make sure it meets the product at the precise time at which it passes by the applicators' dispense edge. The label is then applied to the surface of the product with the use of a roller or a brush. The label's speed and feed rate is controlled by the applicator, which needs to be mounted in the same direction at which the product travels. This ensures that the label is synchronously applied to the product. The conveyor of the product must maintain consistent speed, direction, and orientation. The difficulty with the merge technique is that the coordination of the label applicator and the product speeds must be precise. The merge applicator is simple to set up, and easy to maintain.
Here's a great example of a merge applicator in motion on Youtube.
The tamp technique is particularly useful in applying smaller labels with an impressive accuracy. The label that is meant to be planted on the product is first dispensed onto a pad that is held by a venturi vacuum. The pad is then moved in the direction of the product with the help of a pneumatic tamp cylinder. The label is applied onto the product as the pneumatic solenoid provides a controlled and accurate blast of compressed air. The tamp technique is more difficult to set up but it maintains good control of small labels for placement on tricky products. The speed of tamp applicators is slower than merge.
Here's a great example of a tamp applicator in motion on Youtube.
Blow On
The blow on technique is an effective replacement to the popular merge technique, and it is particularly well suited for premium labels and coupons. The technique utilizes an electric fan to create a vacuum in a box with a plate built into the bottom. The label is peeled off the liner, directly under the vacuum plate where it is positioned less than a few inches above the product. The product advances along a conveyor, the label is applied using a blast of compressed air at the precise moment the product passes beneath the vacuum box suspending the label. Of the three techniques, this is the most sophisticated since it has adjustability for different label sizes and shapes by altering the motif of the air blast. The rate of application for blow on labels is as fast as the label is fed from the applicator. It suits the requirements for premium labeling of fragile products or food products since there is no contact between the product and the label applicator.
Here's a great example of a blow applicator in motion on Youtube.
These automatic labeling methods have far outperformed the traditional techniques. For comprehensive labeling solutions, contact Jet Label – Western Canada's largest label manufacturer, with locations in Edmonton, Calgary, Kelowna, Vancouver, Prince George, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg.

Many businesses, products, and places have names rooted in space and astronomy. We're featuring one every Tuesday on Seattle Astronomy.
Today's Astro Biz is the Subaru. It's not only a line of Japanese-made motor vehicles, but also the Japanese name for the open star cluster many of us know as the Pleiades, The Seven Sisters, or M45.
The Pleiades is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and it's one of the most easily visible, as the seven daughters of Atlas are pursued by the hunter Orion across the evening sky.
There are a couple of levels of meaning in the Subaru logo. The six stars are the number in the cluster visible to the naked eye; two of the sisters are so close together that they appear as one. In Japanese, the word Subaru means "unite," and in the logo the large star represents Fuji Heavy Industries, and the others the five smaller companies that merged to form the conglomerate.
The Pleiades are well placed for observing these days; they're already high in the east at dusk and reach their highest point in the south a bit after 10 p.m. PST.
Do you have a favorite Astro Biz? Send us a photo and a brief description, and you may be featured in a future Astro Biz!

Stopping at Slowyear
Frederik Pohl's characters are generally pretty down to earth, though often with jaded quality to them. Stopping at Slowyear follows the pattern. The inhabitants of Slowyear have developed their culture to deal with a difficult landscape in which much of their time is spent avoiding intense heat in summer, intense cold in winter, as well as local illnesses that kill many of the young and elderly. Mercy Macdonald, looking to escape from the limited world of the starship, meets Blundy, a Slowyear native and acclaimed playwright. The novella follows their interaction, and the reactions of Blundy's wife.
Slowyear offers Pohl's usual mix of cynical calculation and impulsive action, but the characters feels more distant than in most of his work. The ending is effective, but somewhat abrupt, despite a good deal of foreshadowing, and not entirely 'fair'. If Pohl had spent a little more time rounding things out, the story would have been more satisfying. For all that, it's an enjoyable read, and worth picking up for Pohl fans.

Gloversville Middle School student Luke Page never expected the attention he has received after his role in helping to save a man's life last month. The eighth grader has been featured on the TV news and in a local newspaper. Read story in Fulton County Express
Most recently, during its October meeting, the Gloversville Board of Education presented a letter of commendation to the eighth-grader in recognition of his selfless and heartfelt act, and for representing the district with responsibility, respect and pride.
It all began when Luke noticed a man in medical distress outside the local Cumberland Farms in mid-September. He quickly jumped into action, alerting his mother who is trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and she began administering the life-saving procedure. Thanks to Luke and his mom, when emergency responders arrived on the scene, the paramedics were able to find a pulse and rush the man to the hospital.
According to Luke, the biggest reward of all was when he and his mom had an opportunity to meet the man whose life they saved. Luke said that was special. You can see his heartwarming reunion with the man on WNYT Newschannel 13. View Newschannel 13 story

Innsbruck is the fifth largest city in Austria, by the measure of population. It is a city set against the backdrop of the Alps, and holds a host of historic buildings, alongside the scenery.
It is close to both Munich, Germany and Northern Italy, and is a must-see location on any trip to this region.
Getting There
There is an airport located to the west of the city, with Lufthansa offering a regular flight, serving the airport, from Frankfurt, Germany. You will find seasonal flights from the UK, when the popularity of the region increases, so be sure to check when you wish to fly, to secure the best route.
Train connections are good, leading to the city station, Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof.
Once there, hiring a car, and experiencing the roads for yourself is always my best pick (see car hire guide here), as it enables you to go where you wish without the constraints of public transport. You will find plenty to explore in the area, and can really appreciate the great scenery on offer.
Innsbruck Card
The Innsbruck Card (see more here) allows for you to select a timeframe (24, 48, or 72 hours) and is worth a look to enable some free entry, discounts, and use of transport (including one return trip on each cable car in the region).
Top Itineraries
Imperial Palace
An important cultural landmark in Austria, this palace was built around 1460. You can view the staterooms, hall, chambers, and tower during the day, with guided tours providing a good insight (you will need to place a reservation for an English speaking tour).
A 15th-century town tower, the Stadtturm is located in the Old Town district of Innsbruck. It was completed in 1450 as a watchtower, and today provides from the 31-metre viewing platform, a good view across the city rooftops, with the Nordkette mountain range in the distance.
Schloss Ambras
The Ambras Castle is located in the hills of Innsbruck, and holds a range of art collections, in a link to Archduke Ferdinand II, who resided in the upper castle.
Museum of Tyrolean Folk Art
Home to a significant collection of cultural items from the regions past, you can gain an insight into some of the history of the area.
Nordkette Mountains
You cannot make a trip to Innsbruck without venturing into the mountain range to the north of the city. The Nordkettenbahnen lifts provide a ride into the mountains, and you can progress up to over 2,000 metres with minimal hiking.
The view from the top is well-worth the lift ride, and you can either stay here and progress down when ready or embark on a hike to locate some mountain huts in the area.
The highest zoo in Europe, the Alpenzoo holds a host of animals you would find in the Alps.
Winter Sports
The city itself is well-known for Alpine sports, with several ski resorts close by. A culture within the city has been built around such sports and activities, as skiing, snowboarding, and mountaineering are prominent.
Ski resorts include Nordkette and Olympia SkiWorld, and there are many opportunities to experience this kind of activity.
Being in the Alps, take advantage of the mountains and discover some of the trekking trails in the area.
Water Sports
Whilst a lot will visit for the winter sports experience, summer holds the ability to partake in a variety of water sports, with swimming, sailing, and surfing all options.
Where to Stay
Hotel comparison websites such as Hotels.com*, Booking.com*, and Agoda* will show you the prices for hotels in and around Innsbruck.

$10 Face Value 1964 Kennedy Half Dollars 90% Silver 20-Coin Roll (Uncirculated)
$10 Face Value 1964 Kennedy Half Dollars 90% Silver 20-Coin Roll (Uncirculated)
The Kennedy Half Dollars were issued to memorialize the slain leader, John F. Kennedy, on November 22, 1963. The coin was and continues to be extremely popular even today. The two designers involved in creating this coin, were the US Mint's chief engraver, Gilroy Roberts, for the obverse, and the reverse was designed by his assistant engraver Frank Gasparro.
Now you can buy the 1964 Silver Kennedy Half Dollars in a 20-coin roll with a face value of $10 in total.
Coin Features:
- Roll of twenty coins, each made from 90% fine silver with a weight of 0.3617 troy oz.
- Each coin comes in Uncirculated Condition.
- All coins in the roll were minted in 1964.
- Comes in a clear protective plastic roll containing 20 Kennedy Half Dollars for a total of $10 face value.
- Obverse: Features a left facing handsome portrait of John F. Kennedy. Inscriptions - "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and year of mintage (1964). A design by Gilroy Roberts.
- Reverse: An adaptation of the Presidential Seal showing an eagle with its wings widespread upholding a striped shield, as well as an olive branch and bundle of arrows in its talons. Inscriptions - "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "HALF DOLLAR," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM." Design by Frank Gasparro.
On November 22, 1963, America lost a young and vibrant leader, President John F. Kennedy. He was assassinated in Dallas, Texas while he was on a political trip to Texas. Within hours after his death, the US Mint was considering bringing out a new coin to honor the assassinated leader. The Mint Director, Eva Adams, informed the chief engraver, Gilroy Roberts, that he wanted him to create a design for this new coin as soon as possible.
Due to the time constraint, Gilroy had to use the already existing bust of Kennedy, also his design, that was used for the Mint's Presidential series. While Gilroy was given the responsibility of designing the obverse, the reverse was trusted to assistant graver Frank Gasparro, who had designed the reverse for the Kennedy medal.
It was not yet decided as to which denomination would be chosen for the new coin. The recently widowed Jacqueline Kennedy had chosen the half dollar to honor her husband as she did not want to replace George Washington on the quarter dollar.
Since it had been only 16 years since the Franklin Half Dollars came into circulation, to introduce a new coin, a congressional act was required as per the 1890 law. According to the law, a coin has to serve for up to 25 years before it can be replaced by a new coin without the congressional act. A bill authorizing the Kennedy Half Dollar was passed on December 30, 1963. On January 30, 1964, the first set of coins were struck at the Denver Mint followed by the Philadelphia Mint the next week.

In last week's post I linked to an article published recently in the Journal of Futures Studies (JFS) in which I look at the relationship between the questions that we ask about energy futures, what it is that we then take into account as relevant in exploring them, and the possible avenues for action that are apparent to us in the present as a result. As I pointed out, that article acts as a pretty good overview of the inquiry here at Beyond this Brief Anomaly, and also prepares the way for the phase into which this will head shortly. Before embarking on this next phase, it occurred to me that it might be worth dusting off some earlier work on which the JFS article was based that goes a little further in sketching out the background context for the inquiry, and that will help with locating the areas covered to date within that broader context.

A rough guide to visualising energy density
In concluding the previous post, I pointed out the problem with comparing stock-based energy sources—such as fossil fuels and uranium—with flow-based sources—such as wind and solar radiation—on the basis of their associated energy densities. [Update: strictly speaking, we're dealing here with the distinction between energy density and power density. While energy density is a straightforward and very useful way to characterise and compare energy storage media such as fuels and batteries, the infrastructure for producing fuels and electricity is often better characterised in terms of power density—the rate of energy transformation or supply per spatial unit. This reflects the more immediate dependence of a particular set of socio-economic arrangements, if it's to be maintained, on its associated energy supply rates, rather than its energy reserves. For now though, I'll continue the inquiry based on the concept of energy density, as it is arguably the more accessible concept given the nature of our direct experience with fuels—including our own fuels, the food that we eat!] Just to recap on the previous post, establishing a characteristic energy density for a given source requires that we first nominate an appropriate spatial dimension associated with that source. This is straightforward for stock-based sources involving a given quantity of material such as coal, oil or gas, and we can readily compare the energy densities between different sources. The characteristic spatial dimension is the volume occupied by the source material. Continue reading
Energy density and the prospects for renewably-powered societies
In the post prior to last week's, I looked in some detail at the energy densities associated with each of the conventional fossil fuels that together account for over 80 percent of global primary energy supply. As I pointed out, the highly concentrated nature of these energy sources is a fundamental enabling factor in relation to the forms of social and economic organisation that have evolved over the course of the industrial age. The norms, expectations habits and tendencies with which we live together today—and that for most of us, most of the time, remain largely below our thresholds of awareness—are intertwined in various ways with the characteristics of our energy sources. Different energy sources necessarily entail differences in these characteristics. In transitioning between energy source regimes, if key characteristics associated with an emerging regime differ sufficiently from those with which our major techno-economic infrastructure and socio-cultural institutions have developed, then at some point the infrastructure and institutions will themselves need to change for the process of transition to proceed. When such transition points are reached, the connections between energy resources and cultural expectations can no longer remain submerged from view: we're required to confront the changing situation, and in many cases, we too must undergo our own transformations, individually and collectively. Continue reading
In praise of fossil fuels—Part 2: the remarkable legacy of ancient life
Over the past quarter century, the justifiably deep concern held by many of us about climate change has led to a shift in humanity's relationship with fossil fuels—burning of which accounts for well over 60 percent of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. This relationship seems to have shifted from what might be roughly characterised as 'appreciative ambivalence' (as long as the supply spigots remained open) towards uneasiness at first and more recently, even open animosity. Given the bad rap that fossil fuels get from many of us now, there's more than a little irony in the fact that, even beyond the idea that the modern human identity is shaped—as I suggested last week—in the image of fossil fuels, we humans and the energy sources that enable our present ways of living are expressions of the same Earth-centred and carbon-based life continuum. As the remnants of vast accumulations of deceased organisms laid down over millions of years, fossil fuels are in a manner of speaking a gift left to us by our ancient selves. Granted, holding such a view requires that we first adopt a bio-centric sense of identity—an identity with all Earth-based life across evolutionary time. Assuming such a default mode of self-understanding may be taking things just a little too far for some readers. In the interests of advancing the systemic intent of our inquiry though, this is perhaps not an entirely unreasonable suggestion, at least as a provocation to new thinking about our collective situation i.e. a perspective with which to experiment in order to see what it might reveal.

The Pan African Writers Association (PAWA) has outlined three major events as part of its 20th Annual Conference to be held from November 5 to 7, 2009 in Accra.
Leading writers and language arts experts from within and outside Africa are expected to participate in the event, which will be on the theme "Language, Literature and Society in a fractured world".
A statement issued by PAWA said the conference was mainly for the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the founding of PAWA.
The second event, it said, was the celebration of the International African Writers Day, which is marked annually on November 7, as established by the African Union.
"The third is centenary celebration of the birth of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, first President of the Republic of Ghana and perhaps the most inspiring Pan Africanist of all times and a leading writer and thinker", it said.
The statement said answers would be found to questions bordering on how the individual did or should cope with the suffocating humiliation of poverty, the crisis of governance; the injustice of the subordination of whole peoples as in the Israeli-Palestinian situation, among other questions.
"We believe that the most promising and fulfilling answers are to be found in the written and spoken word – in a language and literature that enable men and women to capture the essence of the times and how the quality of their lives is tied to how they respond to present and future problems", it said.
It said the 20th Annual PAWA Conference would thus explore several themes and how literature and language could and were responding to the current challenges.

When you think about bold choices in home decorating, the first thing that probably pops into your mind is color – right? Or maybe pattern?
Yes, a fabulous emerald room is definitely bold…
…as are canary yellow accents…
…or even a room steeped in Pantone's 2014 Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid.
I agree that color is a great way to make a bold statement in your home, but what about us neutral-lovers? Or those of us that prefer softer, more muted colors? Does the absence of a strong color mean that we can't be bold in our home decorating, too? Not at all!
Sometimes, being bold is a statement, not a color.
1. Unique Shapes
Furniture that has a unique shape can be an attention grabber, even if it doesn't sport a bold color or print.
2. Scale
Drama can be created with an oversized item, whether it's a piece of furniture or wall decor.
3. Collections
When grouped together, collections can have tremendous impact, while at the same time, expressing a bit about our personalities and interests! I love this ironstone collection from Kim at Savvy Southern Style.
4. Materials
Material choices can create a dynamic and unique look, like an interior planked wall or a pebble floor.
5. The Unexpected
Sometimes, just the unexpected can grab our attention and make a bold statement. Wouldn't you agree that Courtney's plywood chalkboard is a bold – and unexpected – find for a dining room?
Even daring to use a room in a way other than how it was intended can be bold, like a dining room that's been converted to an office.
6. Architecture
Interesting, unique or dramatic architectural elements easily lend themselves to creating a bold space. Even if a home isn't built with these elements, they can be added as part of the decor.
Making bold decorating choices is more than just choosing a strong color – it's about making a strong statement. And as long as you love what you're using and feel it reflects your style, then go for it! Be brave and be bold!

Turning frowns into smiles: MCH team uses innovative pre-surgical procedure to help mend cleft lips and palates
Tuesday, April 19, 2011 - 15:53
- Christine Zeindler
Thomas was born with a cleft lip and a nose that was partially collapsed. Although his family found out about the birth defect a few days before his birth, when they held him and saw his face, they realized how serious his condition was. "His lips didn't meet, his gums were particularly crooked and misaligned and his nose was falling down on one side. I knew this condition wasn't life threatening, but thought my son would need an enormous number of surgeries," says Isabelle Billard, Thomas' mother.
Thankfully, Ms. Billard's worries were not justified. New innovative procedures performed at the Montreal Children's Hospital (MCH) of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) are giving children with cleft lips and palates reason to smile. This non-invasive intervention, called nasoalveolar molding (
) reshapes the gums, lips and nostrils, prior to surgery, resulting in near perfect features and less surgeries. NAM
"By using
, we improve the aesthetic results because we align and balance the features," says MCH pediatric orthodontist Dr. Broula Jamal. "This technique takes advantage of the malleability of the immature cartilage to make the nose as symmetric as possible and to raise the collapsed nostrils. It also helps stretch the soft tissues, like the lips, so the surgeon can close them without any tension and thus reduce the scarring. NAM
"I had never heard about this procedure before," says Ms. Billard. "Although I was nervous, I was encouraged by the thought of reducing the number of surgeries."
At five weeks of age, Thomas was fitted a custom-made molding plate similar to an orthodontic retainer. The device, which was attached to his face with small rubber bands, was worn 24-hours a-day. Each week, small adjustments were made by Dr. Jamal until the gap between the gums was small enough to attach a small post to the appliance. This post was then inserted into the nostril and slowly adjusted to lift the nose and open it.
"I saw improvements in the first week. I could see how his lip was growing in the right direction. It was very powerful to see the progressive improvement," says Ms. Billard.
Once the lips were almost closed and the nose straightened, MCH plastic surgeon Dr. Mirko Gilardino took over. After a single surgery, Thomas' lips are completely closed, his gums are aligned and you can balance a pencil on the end of his nose.
"We are seeing better end-results," says Dr. Gilardino referring to the
procedure. "We need to do less significant revisional procedures – the lips don't need much work and usually the nose requires only minor revisions." NAM
"Thomas didn't complain while wearing the appliance and the I know the
made a huge difference," says Ms. Billard. NAM
At 11-months Thomas smiles frequently, and so does his mother. "This was an effort, but it was well worth it."

Every successful shopkeeper needs to know which goods are selling well and which are going slowly, so that he can restock or phase them out, as appropriate. For the small shop, tidy bookkeeping and a glance at the shelves may give all the information necessary. But supermarkets and other big stores need quick and accurate records of a much larger flow of merchandise. That is why they use bar codes, which are printed on the packaging.
A bar code can be read by a laser scanner, which passes it to a computer. This supplies the details and price of the goods, totals the bill, and feeds the information to the cash register which prints out a receipt. The computer also records the sale for stock-keeping.
Common bar codes are European Article Numbers (EAN), based on a number with 13 digits, and Universal Product Code (UPC), based on a number with 12 digits. Each digit is represented by a series of parallel straight lines and white spaces. The laser scanner translates the information into binary digit signals, which it feeds to the computer.
The code gives the manufacturer details of the product and the package size, and includes a security code that prevents anyone altering it or the scanner misreading it. The computer supplies the price from the product information. So the only way to change the price of an item is by altering it in the computer.
A laser scans a bar code with a beam of light passed from one end to the other. It is sensitive enough to read from left to right or right to left. Although the bar codes are usually printed in black on a white background, a laser can read a bar code which is printed in any dark colour except red, and the background can be any pale or pastel colour. Some of the lasers used scan with red light, so cannot pick up a reflection from red.
Bar coding is faster and more accurate than other systems. Human error is limited because staff do not have to mark a price on every item, and checkout assistants do not have to key in prices at the till.
However#, another kind of error can occur. Because the computer supplies the prices at the checkout, the store management has to ensure that the goods on the shelves display the same prices. Also that the shelf price is changed if a computer price is altered, or a customer may appear to be charged the wrong price.
In the modern age computers have become a necessity for our daily existence. In the contemporary era of Information Technology one cannot really imagine life without them.
They are ubiquitous, all over the world, and are crucial for all sorts of functions, from storing important files performing important activities. And so when they break down, even if only for a few hours, it causes tremendous difficulties for those who rely on them.
