In this section of our Bowling with Game Engines series, we will be implementing our bowling game using the open source Godot engine. The idea is straight forward, implement the same simple 3D game across a number of game engines. One warning right up front, this engine uses Godot 2.x on the eve of Godot 3.0 being released. Godot 3.0 will receive rather large changes to the 3D portions of Godot. We will go step by step through the process of creating our game, both in text as well as a video version available. All of the assets used in this tutorial are available on Patreon as part of the bowling game kit, along with project files and this document in PDF form. Don't worry, these aren't needed to follow along. There is a video version of this entire process available here or embedded below.
First fire up Godot and create a new project. Once Godot is loaded, click New Project, then pick a location to create the project in. The project directory will be the project's name.
Now double click your newly created project to load it.
Let's start things off by creating our Title screen. Before we go too far ahead, lets create an empty node to parent our scene then save it. In the Scene panel, click the Plus Icon
Select Node from the following dialog:
Select the Scene menu, then Save Scene as:
Name it TitleScene.tscn and click Save. Ok now the we have a Scene to work with, time to get to work. Let's import the title scene image. You can use any supported texture format, but if you are working from the Patreon files, the document you want is Titlescreen.png. Select the Import Menu, then Texture
In the following dialog, be sure to select 2D Texture, locate the texture you want to import, then click the Import button. The defaults for Texture options and format are fine. Please note, for 2D steps you can actually skip this step and directly copy the texture into your project folder using Explorer/Finder.
Now that we have our title screen texture, it's time to go ahead and use it. In the Scene panel, select the node we created earlier, then click the + Icon. This time we want to add a node of type TextureFrame. You can filter the options available in the node list to quickly find the node you want to create.
Now that we've created a TextureFrame node, in the Inspector, locate the Texture property, drop down the menu and select Load. Select our newly loaded texture.
Now turn the Expand property on:
And resize the Texture to the full size of your viewport:
Woot, most of the way there… now we want to add some looping title music that palys when the game starts. We need to import a song to use. In this case I'm using a simple WAV file that we are going to loop. The process is just like with Textures, select Import->Audio Sample
In the resulting dialog, locate the WAV file you want to import, in options select Loop then finally select Import.
Ok, now that we have a sound effect to play, let's play it. In the Scene panel, select TextureFrame then click the + Icon. This time the node type we want is a sample player. Your scene should look like this now:
Hmmm, that error Icon can't be a good thing, can it? No worries, we just need to define the sample to play. This is going to take a couple step sthough, first we need to add a Sample Library, then add our sample to it. Don't worry, it's not that difficult. With the SamplePlayer selected, in the Inspector drop down the Samples option and select New SampleLibrary.
Now select samples again and this time choose Edit.
This brings up a new editing window:
Click the folder icon, select your imported sample in the resulting dialog. It should then look like:
Now in the Inspector we should be able to select our newly loaded sample in the Play menu:
This whoever has one EXTREMELY annoying side effect… the sample will play over and over in the editor while you have this scene open. Yeah, it gets annoying fast. Time to do our first scripting instead! Let's add some code that plays our sound when the scene is loaded… a sure way to keep sane! This means we need to add a script to node in our scene… don't worry, its pretty easy.
We are going to create and attach a script to the TextureFrame node, the parent of our SamplePlayer. Right click the Texture Frame in the Scene panel, then select Attach Script.
In the resulting dialog click the .. next to Path and name your file TitleScreen.gd, then click Create.
This will bring up the script editor like so:
Now we want to change the code like so:
func _ready():
Now it's time to check out all of our hard work. Now click the Play icon:
Since this is the first time we've run it, we need to tell Godot which Scene is the entry point for our application.
Click the Select button. Then select TitleScreen.tscn in the resulting dialog. Now your application should run!
Now of course we have to get to the guts of our actual game. Next we create our next scene where the majority of the game is going to occur. First make sure to save your existing scene if you haven't already. Then click Scene->New Scene.
Every scene must have at least one node. So in our newly created scene, again click the + Icon in the Scene Panel and select Node. Now save the scene as GameScene.tscn.
Perfect, now we have somewhere to go from our title screen... Next, we need to have some kind of action or trigger to switch between scenes. We are going to handle the scene change whenever the user presses any key or clicks any mouse button. This involves appending a bit of code to our script. Simply add the following function at the bottom of TitleScene.gd:
func _input(event):
if(event.type == InputEvent.KEY || event.type == InputEvent.MOUSE_BUTTON):
Excellent! We are now done with the Title scene… Time to move onto the main event!
If it isn't already loaded, load up GameScene.tscn. Simply double click it in the asset view:
Multiple scenes can be open at once and you cant toggle between them using tabs across the top of the screen. You can also switch between scripting, 2D and 3D modes. We are working in 3D in this scene, so make sure that's selected.
Now we are going to assemble all of the various assets we need to create our game. We have a Bowling Pin, Bowling Lane and in this example a Bowling Ball. You may note this differs from other "Bowling With" tutorials, in that in other tutorials we procedurally generate the bowling ball. In Godot 2.x there are no editor assessable geometric primitives so we instead import the bowling ball as a 3D model. There is however a plugin available for Godot that enables you to create meshes like spheres, cubes and planes that I document the use of in this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca2FcVb2lBk ).
Click here for next part in the series.
Godot Tutorial 3D
Click here for the previous tutorial section.
Now it's time to create our bowling lane. If you are a Patreon, the resources we are using are located in the GFS Dropbox in the GameKits\Bowling folder. Godot works a bit different from other game engines in that complex models are imported as scenes. Simply select Import->Scene
At a minimum select the DAE (COLLADA) file location, then the location within your project to import into, then finally click import.
One thing that is very important to realize here is this process will import the entire scene from the model file. This includes lights, cameras, etc… so be sure when you export to DAE, you only export the items you want imported. Of course, you've got the option of deleting unneeded items in Godot if needed.
It is possible that the import process doesn't always bring in the textures, so we will cover doing this part manually. If your model imported fully textured, you can skip ahead and ignore this section. First import that texture object into your scene. The bowling lane has two textures, a diffuse (color) and normal (depth) map. Select Import->Texture.
Then select the texture, where to import it and finally hit the import button.
Repeat this process for each texture file you need to import. Now we need to define a material on our BowlingLane node. Select the BowlingLane, locate MeshInstance->Material->0, click the drop down and select New FixedMaterial.
This will create a new material. Drop it down again and this time select Edit.
Now locate Diffuse, drop down the pull down and select Load.
Select your newly imported Diffuse texture. Now repeat the process for Normal
You can control the strength of the normal map using the Normal Depth setting:
Your Bowling Lane should now look a lot more like a bowling lane than before!
Now we need to add some Physics nodes to our lane. In the Scene graph, select the BowlingLane mesh instance, right click and select Add Child Node.
Select StaticBody.
This will make our lane part of the physics simulation, but as the name suggests, it wont be affected by it. So basically, a static body can be hit, but nothing will happen to it. Finally, we need to define the geometry of physics object. Right click your newly created StaticBody, select Add Child Node Again and this time select CollisionShape.
With the newly created CollisionShape selected, locate Shape, drop down and select New BoxShape.
Now select the Shape drop down again and select Edit
Now modify the Extents until it tightly wraps the underlying shape.
We are now done with the lane. Save the scene file and close it.
Now we repeat the exact same process, except this time with our bowling pin. The process is actually identical, except instead of creating a StaticBody, we create a PhysicsBody. However, in this case the RigidBody needs to be the parent of the Pin. Don't worry, its pretty simple. Be sure to make the RigidBody node a child of the Root "BowlingPin" node, then drag the Pin node onto the newly created RigidBody. So we can identify the node in code later, also rename it from RigidBody to PinRigidBody. The end result should look like:
In the properties of our RigidBody, we also want to set Can Sleep off and Contact Monitor on, like so:
Now it's time to put it all together. Go back to GameScene in the editor and we need to create some instances of our lane and pins. Simply locate the lane in the assets view, right click and select Instance.
Now repeat the process for the bowling pin. Your scene should now look something like:
Next reposition the bowling pin and so it's above the lane and down a bit. Now it's the moment of truth… are you a 5 pin or 10 pin fan? Either way, duplicate the first pin. Locate it in the Scene panel, right click and select duplicate ( or select and hit Ctrl + D ).
Then move the pin into position and repeat the process. If you want, now is your chance to create 7 pin bowling! Personally, I went with 5, and it looks like this:
5 pin for life! We are certainly getting there! It's at least starting to feel like a bowling game. It would be a good time to check out our work, but press play and you'll notice a problem… nothing shows up! That's because we need to create a camera! With the root node selected, create a new node and select Camera:
Now position the camera in your scene using the transform manipulator. With a camera node selected, you can hit the Preview button at any time to, well, preview the camera.
Now when we press play…
Hmm, a bit dark in here isn't it? Well that makes sense, we have no lights in our scene. We have two options here… we can add some lights or we can add ambient lighting. Getting the later right is probably a bit easier, so lets take that approach. With the camera selected, located the Environment setting, drop it down and select New Environment
Now drop it down again, this time selecting Edit. Now turn Ambient lighting on and select a color close to white.
One thing you might find is that the results are really blurry and undesirable. There are two ways to address this… first, select the texture, locate the flags propert and turn off MipMap and Filtering:
Finally, in the mesh of an imported scene, you can turn off baked lighting:
Both of these steps are completely optional. At this point our game should look like:
And our scene should look like:
Now all we need is a ball! Click here for the next tutorial section.
Godot 3D Tutorial
Click here for the previous section in this tutorial.
Time for the exact same process as pin and lane, except this time rename the RigidBody to BowlingBallRigidBody. The major differences are we used a SphereShape for our collision shape.
Plus, in physics, in addition to setting Sleep off, and Contact Listener on, we increase the Mass to 3. The value doesn't really matter, this just means our bowling ball is 3x heavier than the pins.
Just for now lets get things rolling (ugh… the puns) and give our ball some initial velocity, so when we play our game, things happen. We will override this in a bit when we implement user control. Simply set the velocity to -15 or so on the Z axis:
Now when you play the game, if you've done everything correctly, the ball should roll down the lane and hit the pins.
Almost there! Now let's add some audio that happens when the ball hits a pin. It's the exact same process as back when we created our title screen, so I'm not going to go over it again. Just be sure to add the SamplePlayer to the bowling ball like so:
Then go in and create a sample library and add our bowling ball sound effect, in my case Hit.wav.
Now it's time to do a bit of coding. The BowlingBall is going to be the heart of our game, so let's add the script to it. Using the same process as back in the title screen, select the BowlingBall root node and attach a new script. Now select the child BowlingBallRigidBody node, switch to the Node tab, select body_enter and hit the Connect button at the bottom right hand corner.
Another window will pop up asking you which node to connect to. Select our BowlingBall node then click Connect.
This will open up the script editor and create a new function for us. Inside the function enter the following code:
func _on_BowlingBall_body_enter( body ):
var name = body.get_name()
if name == "PinBody":
Now when you play the scene, when the bowling ball hits the pins, audio should play!
** Before you continue… go back to the bowling ball and remove the Linear velocity we added earlier! We are going to handle that manually from this point on! **
Next we need to give the user some control over the bowling ball. First off, we need to create an Input map. We are going to use left and right arrows for moving the ball, well… left and right. Additionally, the space bar will be used to throw the ball.
Go to the Scene -> Project Settings Menu, then switch to the Input Map tab. Now we are going to add an entry. Simply enter LEFT in the text box, then click Add:
Click the + Icon, then select Key
When prompted, press the Left arrow key
Now repeat this process for Right and Space. You can of course map multiple keys to a single ID, so if you wanted LEFT to also trigger when the A key is pressed, or on Left mouse click, you can. Now lets wire our script up to handle input. Simply add or replace the following in your BowlingBall script:
func _ready():
func _input(event):
Great, we can now control our ball, have collisions with pins and audio plays. We are 99% of the way toward a finished game… only one catch… you can only play once… that's a bit of an issue no? Let's do a quick and direct reset by reloading the scene when the user presses the R key. Add RESET to the InputMap and append the following code to your _input() function:
And our final complete code should look like:
extends Spatial
func _ready():
func _input(event):
func _on_BowlingBallRigidBody_body_enter( body ):
var name = body.get_name()
if name == "PinRigidBody":
And all done, one complete if primitive bowling game! Once again, here is the video version.
With the upcoming release of Godot 3.0, Visual Programming is now officially part of the game engine. In this tutorial we are going to look at the basics of programming using the new Visual Programming interface.
To get started using Visual Programming, just like using GDScript or other options, you have to attach a script to an object in Godot, like so:
In the script creation dialog, you can now select the programming language to use:
It will now bring you to the following programming interface:
To get started, we need to implement one of the available Godot callbacks. These are exactly the same as GDScript and represent various different functions that will be called over time by the game engine. To get started, in the Members section, click the following icon:
The various different callback functions available for the selected object type are available:
The most commonly used callbacks are _process() which is called every pass through the game loop, _ready() which is called when the object has been created, _init() which is called to create the object (think constructor), and _input() which is called when input is received. We are going to create an exceedingly simple example here that moves our sprite each from, so select _process. Now you should see:
White arrows represent program flow. Connections on the right represent output, while connections on the left represent input. This is the entry point for our code and is going to be called each frame. You can see we are passed a floating point value "delta" as a parameter. Now we need to get a reference to our object, we use a "self" node for this. You can locate notes via search:
This gives us access to the Sprite object our script is attached.
Now click on the blue/green ball output from the Sprite and drag a connection out, selecting Get as the option:
This will now give you access to all of the data of a sprite object and all other inherited classes:
Locate and select position, which is a Vector2 object. Now lets create a variable we are going to use to define our move amount. In the variables section, click +:
Now right click and select Edit Variable:
Select type as Vector2 and value of (1,0)
Finally click the variable name and rename it to moveBy. Now drag our newly created variable onto the canvas:
Now we want to create an Add node and add our two vectors together, like so:
Now we use another Self (or the same one we created earlier) and this time do a Set and select position. We now pass in the added Vector2 result, also we attach program flow from _process, like so:
This simple program will cause the sprite to move by 1 pixel per update.
Godot Tutorial
Today Godot just released the first downloadable version of the upcoming Godot 3.0 game engine. This is an alpha level release, so while mostly feature complete do expect to encounter several bugs. If you are waiting for C# support, unfortunately it did not make it into the alpha release but hopefully will be released soon. This alpha however is absolutely packed with new functionality including the completely new 3D renderer and material system, a new visual programming language, GDNative, an updated UI and much more.
From the release notes:
The featuresNow, there are still some cool features that can already be played with in this alpha1 build, and we are looking forward to seeing what you will come up with using the new 3D renderer. There is no exhaustive listing of all the new features to experiment with, but you can read past articles of this blog and check Juan's Twitter feed for some teasers :)Please use the community channels to discuss with existing users and learn how to use the new workflows of Godot 3.0 - as of this writing there is almost no documentation on the new features, but this alpha1 build should serve as a starting point for documentation writers.

Don't stop moving was written by myself on the 11th of February 2013. Any similarity to any other tag or tutorial is co-incidental.
Supplies Needed
Tube of choice. I have used the amazing artwork of Keith Garvey, available HERE
FTU Scrap kit - Guitar Star by Addictive Pleasures HERE
Mask WSL 184 by Chelle HERE
Template 23 by Me HERE
Filters Used
EyeCandy-Shadowlab (optional)
Right, best put the kettle on and grab your comfy cushion, I've written an epic here ! No I'm jesting, it just appears lengthy. If you delete the amount of times I've written Selections-select all-float-defloat- invert-delete and select none, There would be hardly any tut at all lol. To cut a long story short, we'll be using selections a lot.
Open template, duplicate and close original. Delete credits and background layer. In layer palette go to black rectangle. Selections-select all-float. Paste paper 12 as a new layer. Selections-defloat- invert and hit delete. select none and delete original layer.
Layer Palette-white rectangle. Selections-select all-float, paste paper 11 resized by 60 %. Selections-defloat-invert and delete, select none. Apply Photoeffex-Scanlines with settings below.
Delete original Layer.
Delete original Layer.
Back to layer palette.Merge the 2 grey rounded rectangles and selections-select all- float, open a new raster layer and flood fill with a 2 colour Linear gradient (I used Black & Gold) angle 45 repeats 2. Change blend mode to overlay, select none and merge layer down. Still with this layer Selections and float again, Paste a close up of your tube into one of the rectangles and place in desired position. Selections-defloat-invert and delete any overhang. Select None.Duplicate your tube and image-mirror, It should automatically fit inside the opposite rectangle. Merge the 2 tube layers. Apply Xero-Radiance to your liking and change blend mode to lumiance legacy. Now merge this layer down with your rectangles. Duplicate this now merged layer and working with the copy, Selections-select all-float. Defloat-modify and contract by 5, Invert and hit delete. Select None. In layer palette go to original copy and change blend mode to Multiply. Add dropshadow if you wish.
Layer palette, Grey circle. Select float and paste paper 7. Defloat-invert-delete.Select none. Edge effects-Enhance and apply Xero Radiance. Delete original grey circle and back to your copy to apply a border. Select all- float-defloat- modify-select selection borders. Settings-Both sides width 4, anti alias checked. Open a new raster layer and flood fill inside your selection with black. Select None. Go to adjust- Apply Noise-Gaussian-35-Monochrome checked. Add a drop shadow to your liking.
Small Grey Squares. Take your magic wand and click inside each square. Promote selection to layer. Paste paper 11 and defloat-invert and delete. Select None. Apply Vertical scanlines s before. Back in layer palette delete promoted selection. On the templates original squares add noise, settings as before. Select your Inner squares again and float. paste a copy of your tube resized to fit inside the top right hand square. Defloat-invert and delete your excess. Select None. Duplicate and mirror and move image down to fit inside bottom left square. merge tube layers down and change blend mode to hard light.
Paste elements of your choice. Dropshadow to your liking. I added ...
Music notes 2-resized to 60%. Placed inside circle, beneath border, Eraser excess.
Sparkles-resized to 80%. Behind circle, lower half of tag.
Ribbon Eyelets 2- resized to 60%. Behind circle, over rectangles, to the right of tag.
Single music note 2-resized to 20%. Placed over top left square, Duplicate- mirror over bottom right square.
Paste your main tube and move below funky wordart. Apply Xero-radiance to your liking and drop shadow.
Funky wordart- select -all float and paste paper 11. Defloat-invert and delete. Select none. Delete original. I added EyeCandy Shadowlab-Black-distance 2-opacity 100, Direction 9. Duplicate and move the copy upto the top of your tag and change blend mode to lumiance legacy. Go back to bottom copy and (depending on tube used) make it a little larger. If you ve used a half tube you ll want it to disguise where your tube ends. I resized by 105%. For Dont stop moving wordart, apply shadowlab or drop shadow to your liking.
Nearly Finished... go to very bottom of layer palette and paste paper 10. Resize to 95%. Load mask from disk-fit to layer. In layer palette, delete mask and merge group. use your raster deform tool to stretch it out to fit your tag to your liking. Change opacity to 80%.
Add Your name and relevant copyright info. Merge Visible, crop and sharpen. Save as Png.
Hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and are pleased with your Tag, Sal :)

Plastic of the front abdominal wall
Weight changes, fat tissue gathering in the lower part of the abdomen and pregnancy may stretch abdominal muscles and skin. When the abdomen is sagging and floppy and conservative measures and liposuction do not help, surgery might solve the problem.
How is the operation performed?
Tummy tuck is performed under general anaesthetics and lasts for 2-3 hours. The incision is bigger than in case of the caesarean section, the scar is often wider and more visible. The incision is made from one hip to another. The slack muscles are trimmed with stitching. The belly button is left in the initial location as before the surgery. Excessive fat tissue and skin are removed and the incision is closed, however, two drains are left in the wound during the stay in hospital. After tummy tuck we recommend staying in hospital for two nights. After surgery pain may be experienced in the operated area, however, it does not last long and can be alleviated by painkillers. After surgery the personnel of the hospital observes the patient and gives further recommendations for the treatment of the wound. Stitches are removed after 7-10 days. The procedure is generally painless.
Depending on the nature of work, a 1-2 weeks' recovery period is required after the operation. The family doctor issues the sick list to the patient. A compressive garment to support the abdomen has to be worn day and night during one month after tummy tuck. Sick leave of 1.5-3 weeks might be needed after the abdominal surgery. Gym, aerobics and other sport events, which may affect the healing of the wound, should be avoided for about a month. Lifting heavy weights and hard physical work should be avoided. Sauna and hot baths should also be avoided. Swelling and haemorrhage is possible after the operation but they disappear within three months. The final result becomes evident after six months.

Director Paul Foster (no relation, honest!) takes on the 10for10 challenge
Paul Foster has two major projects in the near future – diving into The Deep Blue Sea with the glorious Nancy Caroll and opening a UK tour of Curtains with Jason Manford. And it is surely in no small part to his revelatory work on A Little Night Music (featuring a career-best Josefina Gabrielle) at the Watermill in 2017 that his star is rising so.
I asked him to recall a little of that time:
"A testament to truly brilliant creative colleagues and a matchless cast that we pulled it off in four weeks!. The quality of that material is so apparent and to get to know Sondheim a little as we prepared for it was incredible. I'd got his autograph when I worked the cloakroom at the National but left it on the 91 bus, so the emails and calls squared the circle!"

Profitable small companies can quickly go out of business if they run out of money. Likewise, unprofitable unprof small companies can be kept afloat for a long period of time if they have a good cash balance. In other words, money is the life blood of American small companies.
Small Business Loans in Ridgway, Colorado
Naturally, when times are tough, inability to get capital to pay daily business expenses frequently becomes a source of concern, stress and anxiety and distraction for small business owners.
In these cases, many small business owners think about looking for short-term funding.
Small Business Loans in Ridgway, Colorado
Sadly, the majority of huge city and town traditional loan providers have stiff and rigorous criteria that their clients should fulfill.
Because of this, there is four particular functions that are required by those seeking business financing.
Easy credit approval:
Companies have a different credit ranking from business owner. Even if business owner has a high credit history, business might not have an established credit rating (particularly if recently developed). Therefore, potential loan providers need to offer solutions with that take the business owner's individual credit into factor to consider and that accepts candidates with less than ideal credit.
Fast Financing Time:
Generally, when a company is seeking out a loan, they have operating expenses that they have to be able to pay within the next 7-14 days (such as payroll and suppliers). As such, loans that take weeks to be approved and finances just aren't ideal to most businesses requirements
No Red Tape:
Numerous traditional loan providers needs months of bank declarations and years of income tax return to be able to process a loan application. While this may not be a big deal to a reputable business, it's not very useful for a new business that has stayed in business for 6 months to a year
Small Company Friendly:
Oftentimes, brick and mortar loan providers only service companies doing 20k or more in monthly income. This disqualifies smaller sized businesses doing 10k-15k in monthly revenue.
Because of the rigorous aforementioned certification requirements enforced by conventional loan providers, a growing number of company owner are turning to the myriad of online lending options now readily available to small business owners in Ridgway, Colorado
GoTorro Small Business Loans supplies fast funding in as low as 48 hours, of quantities varying from $10,000 – $500,000 to customers that satisfy the following basic certification requirements:
500+ FICO Score
6+ Months in Business
10k+ Monthly Revenue
No security, No bank statements, No Financials, No Tax Returns, and no credit references are needed.

Gidea Park rapper 'humbled' by opportunity to perform to thousands at Havering Show this weekend
PUBLISHED: 13:30 25 August 2017 | UPDATED: 14:24 25 August 2017
Shaun Bales
An up and coming rapper is looking forward to taking the stage in front of thousands of Havering residents this week when he plays the Havering Show.
Shaun Bales, of Durham Avenue, Gidea Park – who goes by the name Absonetti – released his surprise hit All Of The Time in July, and is now preparing to take the show in Harrow Lodge Park, Hornchurch, by storm this weekend.
He said: "There are something like 50,000 people there across the two days, so it's a really great chance and I'm really, really looking forward to it.
"It's a wonderful opportunity."
The 27-year-old will be taking to the event's main stage at 12.50pm on Sunday, and he told the Recorder he felt incredibly grateful to have been considered as a potential act for the main stage.
He said:"It's truly humbling to be given such a good opportunity to go out there and have people hear my music.
"It's a really big show and as long as the weather is all right it will be a really good day – hopefully when I'm on stage people like what they hear."
Absonetti's debut mixtape, The A Wave, is available for free online at mediafire.com, and the music video for All Of The Time has racked up thousands of views on YouTube.
He added: "The feedback on the single's been really good so far, it's a bit of a summer anthem so it will be good to perform it on stage."
And there are a number of other new experiences Absonetti will be enjoying in the run-up to his big performance on Sunday.
Anyone interested to learn more about him can hear him interviewed live on air on Time 107.5FM the day before.
"I'm on Time FM on Saturday to talk about the show and what I do, which is a nice surprise," he told the Recorder.
"I didn't know anything about it but the organisers of the show told me I had a chance to go on, talk about the single and preview some of the songs I'll be playing on stage during the weekend, so I thought it would be fun."

Switchboard is open 09:00-11:00 and 12:00-15:00
A private pilot flying with a passenger were about to look at a house in Kåfjorddalen in Troms County, Norway when the airplane hit a cable car wire. Parts of the tail and the right wing were torn off the airplane and the plane was close to becoming uncontrollable. However, the commander regained control and landed later at Tromsø Airport Langnes (ENTC). The cable car was equipped with an Obstacle Collision Avoidance System (OCAS) warning system, but neither the flashlight nor the aural warning via the VHF-radio was detected by the pilot. The investigation has revealed that the warning lights were ineffective. Furthermore, the system has a fundamental weakness because the aural warning is only allowed to be transmitted at 6 frequencies. These frequencies does not necessarily correlate with the frequencies used for radio communication in the area, and have to be intentionally set manually for the warning to be received. The AIBN believes that the Norwegian CAA has not given these issues sufficient focus during the system's operational approval.
Safety recommendation SL nr. 2013/02T
A large number of OCAS installations are currently out of service.
The Norwegian Accident Investigation Board therefore recommends that the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority immediately find compensatory measures to ensure that obstacles to aircraft in flight equipped with OCAS installations get a satisfactory warning system.
Safety recommendation SL nr. 2013/03T
The Norwegian Accident Investigation Board is of the opinion that difficult and partly misleading information about OCAS installations degrades the warning system efficiency.
The Norwegian Accident Investigation Board recommends that information about the system's functionality, active frequencies and individual installation locations must be substantially improved in order to reach important user groups.
Safety recommendation SL no. 2013/04T
The Norwegian Accident Investigation Board is of the opinion that future systems for obstacle warning to aircraft in flight should be based on readily available equipment/methods such as the use of GPS and electronic maps. A database of obstacles already exists at NRL.
The Norwegian Accident Investigation Board therefore recommends that the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority in collaboration with a map provider find a solution so that this information can be made conveniently available to actual user groups.

Dinner Party Catering Holmesglen Vic
8 Insider Tips For Choosing the Right Dinner Party Catering Service In Holmesglen
When it comes to the important things that can make or break an event, couple of are as crucial as the quality, taste and appearance of the food and beverages you serve. A lot is riding on your choice which caterer to work with, and if you believe this choice really isn't that important, look at it in this manner, incredible catering can save an event that's on the rocks, but bad catering will almost always send out guests to the doors.
In addition, due to the fact that catering is frequently the # 1 or # 2 line-item expense for most events, the caterer you pick is also a considerable financial choice and can affect how much money you have left over to spend on other areas depending upon food costs and quantities.
Include the fact that caterers can vary drastically in their prices and the types of meals and services they use, and the procedure of selecting a caterer can figuratively and literally seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Personal Interest In Your Needs
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this showed up over and over and over again, mainly due to the fact that how responsive and interested a catering service is throughout your preliminary discussions is a sign of how they will perform during the length of their agreement with you (and more on agreements later on).
A prospective caterer must be finding out as much as they can about you in your first couple of conversations with them, so you ought to anticipate them to be talking and asking questions about 20% of the time and you offering responses and outlining your requirements about 80% of the time.
# 2 Ability To Handle Your Specific Type of Event In Holmesglen 3148
Not every caterer is best or every type of event, and lots of caterers themselves openly admit this.
So when interviewing your Holmesglen catering services (and you should talk with a minimum of 3 caterers for any event with a reasonable budget plan), you need to specify about the kind of occasion you are planning and the type of food and/or presentation you are anticipating. Otherwise, you may end up choosing a caterer who merely isn't a great suitable for the type or style of your occasion.
Almost every catering service has a standard menu or menus to pick from, and many do supply some level of built-in flexibility to adjust these menus to your particular needs by substituting particular items and/or tailoring others.
However, the standout caterers will surpass standardized menu alternatives and be willing to produce remarkable fare that matches much more particular style and dietary requirements.
# 3 Desire To Provide Tastings
How will you ever know exactly what a caterer can do unless you sample their goods? And more particularly, how will you know what the menu items you are considering will taste like unless you specifically attempt them?
Some people shy away from asking to sample the particular items they want for their event due to the fact that it looks like a hassle for the caterer, but it is standard to ask for a sampling of exactly what you are meaning to order prior to you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your event (once again, be prepared to pay a charge, it's a small cost to pay to ensure you choose the best caterer). And when you are sampling the food, also address how it exists, as any catering service who takes the time to effectively display a sample will probably be most likely to make that sort of effort on your occasion day.
Are you an event supervisor who has to manage catering information, spending plans and tasks?
Or are you a caterer who has to track propositions, invoices, meal selections, inventory and other customer information?
# 4 Familiarity With The Location
You may be in for a surprise if you work with a BBQ take-out joint to cater an official ballroom charity event. Or if you choose a high-end corporate occasion caterer to serve a barn wedding. Why? Because these caterers might not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get back at more specific depending upon constraints of the venue itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
Much more conventional places can likewise have constraints that caterers should follow, like particular setup standards or disposal restrictions for waste food and water, so having a caterer that is familiar with a venue's rules can potentially save you great deals of inconvenience on occasion day.
# 5 Total Explanation Of Services/Goods Promised In The Agreement
The caterer's agreement must plainly define exactly what food, beverages and services the caterer will be providing on the designated day( s). Additionally, it ought to secure you from non-performance as much as it secures the catering service from non-payment/default, so you might want to think about having a lawyer} take a look at it before you sign it.
Every detail ought to be included in the agreement, included chosen menus, variety of portions and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service information (if suitable) and all rates and extra services.
No caterer in Holmesglen with a shred of self-respect and scruples participates in a contract with plans to bail at the last minute, but you need to make certain there is a cancellation clause in your agreement simply in case your caterer needs to cancel.
You don't want to be left without recourse with only days or hours prior to your event, so simply make certain cancellation procedures and penalties remain in place so you do have a backup plan.
# 6 Referrals You Can Call and Talk To
Naturally you will have to look into the catering services in Holmesglen you are considering, and it's always good to start online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, do not stop there, as online reviews are not always reliable (or even genuine); for instance, an excellent caterer might have had a couple of nightmare/hater clients who skew their scores, while a really mediocre caterer may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some previous customers of the catering services you are thinking about and connect to them.
# 7 Insurance Coverage
Every catering service we talked with called insurance protection "a provided" for caterers, and you certainly do not want to legally be on the hook for some oversight or accident that was the fault of your caterer.
# 8 A Knowledgeable Chef and Kitchen Area Staff
Remarkably, for how long a catering business in Holmesglen has been around might not be as critical in selecting a great catering service as you may believe.
So make sure to inquire about the chef's bona fides and CV since he/she will probably be the one most responsible for the result of the meal and whether your visitors enjoy it or not.

What I Can Teach You About Charters

I find your characterization of DC comics as less cynical than Marvel interesting, given that my two favorite DC titles were The Watchmen and the Alan Moore Swamp Thing issues. I haven't collected comics since the 80s, so maybe things have changed.
Flashback: Crisis With The Super Friends!
In the Real World, I've done a whole lot of talking about DC Comics' "Rebirth" lately. Being a huge comics fan, it stands to reason that people would ask me for my opinion on it, and as a result, I'm finally talking about it here. If you don't know what the @#$% I'm talking about…DC's "Rebirth" is relaunch by DC Comics of its entire line of ongoing monthly superhero comic books. Using the end of "The New 52" as its launching point, DC "Rebirth" is intended to restore the DC Universe to a form much like that prior to the "Flashpoint" storyline while still somehow incorporating numerous elements of "The New 52," including New 52 continuity.
Honestly, I don't see how they are going to achieve that.
Why do such a thing? The speculator boom on "new" DC titles stopped…stopped cold. As a result, sales plummeted for DC Comics, across the board, nationally. The Comics' market share dropped, and they needed to do something. One of the key problems was twofold. In throwing continuity out the window so suddenly, long time readers were alienated…big time. A second, and related point is that DC Comics have a different feel to them, in terms of tone, than Marvel books. The New 52 was an overall "Marvelization" of DC Comics, and that made easy choices for someone like me. I can just read the books that Marvel does, and not feel frustrated by a publisher.
You see…superhero comics, as INVENTED by DC comics in 1938, are inherently positive, non cynical pieces of work. It's about magical people who are good to the core, have a positive outlook, and defeat both the odds, and evil people, time after time, off of the strength of their own outlook. For five years, during the New 52, DC Comics has been doing the opposite of that, in fact, with a grimmer outlook than the necessarily more cynical Marvel books. The New 52 has been about distrust, violence, nihilism, and in some cases outright torture…and it made readers jaded, or disappointed. They now need to FIX that.
To hold onto the audience that has "come back in" to see what happens during "Rebirth," they don't need to make a continuity change, so much as they need to make us "buy in" to that positive setting again, and that they are committed to it. To buy the idea that when Superman shows up, it is Going To Be All Right.
That's a tall order.
Superman itself is a bewildering story. Left over from "Convergence", the pre 52 Superman has apparently been in the world, incognito, helping out the younger "New 52" Superman in secret. At the end of New 52, the New 52 Superman (who was a bit of a jerk actually) dies heroically, and the older continuity Superman takes over for him publicly. Since New 52 Superman was "outed" as Clark Kent, there still hasn't been a return to the usual status quo, but that's the confusing state of affairs.
Oh, and China figured out, with Science, how to just give Superman's powers to a guy.
None of THAT stuff is drawing me back in.
So, what's the art about? In a previous Super Friends driven post, it was suggested that the protagonist was a Junior Super Friend, or some kind of Intern. The Super friends, for all of its cheesiness and not so great animation, is very much at the heart of what makes DC Comics work, when they work. It's a positive world view, where if Friends work together, with all of their magical stuff, then you can get great things done. It's very much a counterpoint to the current idea set at DC Comics in terms of publishing and film.
It also had an early attempt at diversity, in bringing in characters like Black Vulcan (African American), El Dorado (Mexican), Apache Chief (Native American) and Samurai (Japanese, depicted above). Sure…some of these portrayals were a bit stereotypical, and almost none of them got pants. Very few shows at all in the seventies had non white characters on them, forget mainstream Saturday morning cartoons designed to market comics and toys. I have to give some respect for that…and it wasn't all that hard to do, because the very perspective of DC Comics is positive. It's a world where you should have friends that are diverse, because it fits with the vision of good people as an intrinsic quality of character.
Anyway, Superman seems pretty pissed at the protagonist and Samurai, although I'm pretty sure that they had nothing to do with turning him into a toddler. I also don't really know what he expects them to do about it. I mean…Samurai is a history professor when he's not a superhero, and our hero is maybe a high school student at the time? Neither of them have advanced degrees in Four Dimensional Time Mechanics, Biology, or Gerontology, so they really don't have the skill set to fix that. Way to be a prima donna, Superman.
Drawing in the style of the old Superfriends series is not as easy as one imagines. The line work is simple, but distinctive. I didn't do any of the fancy @#$% I've been doing lately with the background…I just DREW the background. Sometimes, simple is best.
It's only the second time we have seen the protagonist dressed like she would have as a Junior Superfriend…and that preppy style is pretty much how I would have dressed at the time. Red v-neck sweater, white collared shirt with the cuff rolled outside the sweater, and ubiquitous jeans. Converse shoes. Despite being dated and boring, I still think that is a classier superhero outfit than Wendy and Marvin brought to the Superfriends' table.
This was fun to draw…I may very well go back to the protagonist's "Junior Superfriends" period of time, if only to recapture the magic that DC is trying to with "Rebirth."

One of the most neglected area of rowing fast is paying attention to eating enough food. This is a particular problem with elite and with busy athletes.
Common symptoms of this issue are listlessness, tears, lack of performance etc.

Who Will Receive the Mark of the Beast
"And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints" – (Rev.13:7-10).
"And the third angel followed them saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture, into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus" – (Rev.14:9-12). The church is raptured but the Holy Spirit stays and saves.
The Antichrist–Beast and his blasphemous mark and worship is coming soon. The rapture of God's saints must be very near when we're translated like Enoch and taken up to heaven. Then will come the great tribulation when God pours his wrath out upon this earth, upon the unsaved who have rejected salvation in his beloved Son. But during this terrible time God's mercy and grace will still be working and a great multitude will be saved and washed in Christ's blood – (Rev.7:9, 14). There are the great tribulation saints that will be persecuted and many will be martyred for their witness for Christ – (Rev. 6:9-11 &).
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tags is a technology that uses tiny computer chips hooked up to miniature antennas to track items at a distance. There are two main components to an RFID tag – a tiny silicon computer chip that contains a unique identification number and an antenna to be read by a 'reader.' RFID tags are being used in most products today and this chipping is just the start. Pets and livestock are also being chipped and the end point is an RFID injected into human flesh. The "Real ID Act" recently passed by congress is the beginning and the starting point will be chipped driver's licenses, building access cards, and student name tags, and the end point will be microchips embedded in human flesh.
During the great tribulation nobody will be able to buy or sell except they get the mark of the Beast and his number in their forehead or right hand and worship him. The mark will be a 'buy chip' and a 'spy chip' as the beast will track and spy on all who receive his mark. Instead of man tracking the beast – the Beast will track man. But he will also track the born again saints of God and persecute them and kill most of them. The Beast will be the predator that preys upon the saints of God. He is described in (Rev.13) as like a leopard with the mouth of a lion and feet of a bear – a Beastly emperor indeed. His tracking will counterfeit God's tracking of man – "Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet" – (Job ). With his failsafe method of identification the beast will hunt down the saints and kill them, especially by beheading – (Rev.20:4).
An ID
system has been started by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the United
States Animal Identification Organization – USAIO. All cattle and livestock
will be branded with RFID chips and will be mandatory in 2008. This means total
surveillance of all livestock. This means if you have one chicken, one cow, one
sheep, one horse, one goat, one bison, one llama, one turkey, or one duck, etc.
you must register the premises and the animals. Who do you think will be next?
You and me. It will be a 15 digit code with the first three numbers serving as
First we began with RFID chips with dead stock by merchants and manufacturers and now we are putting them in livestock (living stock) and finally it will be put into human stock. We will absolutely need the mark of the beast for all buying and selling like stock brokers buying and selling stock certificates on Wall Street. Our animals are being used as guinea pigs for experimental testing with the mark of the beast and then it will be used on humans. First people mark their beasts and then people will receive the mark of the beast. And that means total control and surveillance of humans by the emperor beast – the antichrist.
The beast
will be the last world emperor of a revived
One man who doesn't want to hear anything about salvation in Christ, was very excited about "The Mark of the Beast." He said he would never get the mark. I told him the Bible says plainly that only the born again saints of God will refuse the mark and suffer persecution because of it. The Beast is world emperor with power over the whole world and he makes war with the saints and overcomes them. The reason for the mark is that people will be forced to make their choice between God and Satan, good or evil. Although many people in our day think that they can avoid Christ and the gospel of salvation, one's ultimate survival during the Tribulation will be determined by a decision for or against Christ.
Who has the right to rule over the hearts of man – Christ or Antichrist? For the only time in history, people will have a deadline for declaring their allegiance to God or Satan. Throughout the last 2000 years people have accepted or rejected the gospel message. On this occasion the process will be accelerated and forced because of the mark. All humanity will be divided into two groups- those who get the mark of the Beast and those who don't. All people will be polarized into two camps – those who are born again and those who are not. Those who are not saved will worship Antichrist. Only the true saints of God will refuse to worship the Beast. Just as the three Hebrews refused to worship Nebuchadnezzar's image, so the great tribulation saints will refuse to worship Antichrist-Beast and his image. All will worship the Beast and receive his mark whose name is not written in the Lamb's book of life. The lamb's book of life includes only those who have come to Christ for eternal life. The very moment they are born again by the Holy Spirit their names are recorded in the book of life. "And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life" – (I Jn.2:25). Is your name written there?
I care not for riches, neither silver or gold
I have made sure of heaven, I have entered the fold.
In the book of the Kingdom, with it's pages so fair
I know Jesus is my Savior and my name's written there.
Lord, my sins they are many, like the sand of the sea
But Thy blood, O' my Savior, is sufficient for me.
For Thy promise is written, in bright letters that glow,
"Though your sins be as scarlet, I will make them like snow."
Yes, my name's written there, on the page bright and fair
And I look forward to meeting my Lord in the air
In the Lamb's book of life on my spiritual birthday,
Yes, my name's written there, for eternity to stay.
The Beast makes war with the saints because only the saints refuse the mark and refuse to worship him. The fight is on for the saints of the great tribulation hour. Satan's Beast also battles the Church when they return with Christ at the battle of Armageddon – (Rev.19:14). Satan attempts to destroy the martyred saints of God who "washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the lamb" – (Rev.7:14). The saints witness to the world of the true identity of the Beast and many are martyred – "And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not the lives unto the death" – (Rev.12:11). They are beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the Word of God – (Rev.20:4). Those worshiping the Beast and his image and receiving his mark are the unsaved of both Jews and Gentiles in contrast to the saved Jews and gentiles whose names are in the book of life.
All fake-believers and make-believers in churches will be brought to light. All the unsaved ministers and deacons and church members worldwide will get the mark. The true church will be forced to go underground and meet in homes and will be separated from the world religion of the Beast and will be the objects of his fearful persecution. No matter how much these unsaved church members today now insist that they will never get the mark of the Beast, they will receive it. God tells us the he will send them strong delusion to believe the lie of Antichrist, because they rejected the truth in Christ. "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" – (2 Thes.2:9-12). O' the pride in man that keeps them from repenting of sin and by faith believing on Christ in their heart and becoming holy saints of God, born again of the Holy Ghost.
When the tribulation saints suffer persecution and death, they will immediately go to heaven and receive a new eternal body. But all those who receive the mark will suffer in hell for eternity. "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name" – (Rev.14:10,11). The real decision is not about receiving the mark, the important decision is about getting born again.
The mark of the Beast will be a computer digit
It will determine our eternal destinies, God forbid it.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) 666 will identify you as a follower of Antichrist. A part of your individual number will be the same for everyone – 666 – the mark and number of the Antichrist – Beast. You will be identified and united with all those that are antichrist. You will be identified in spirit and be the same as all those that oppose Christ – one in spirit. "The spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience" – (Eph.2:2).
The saints of God who refuse the mark will also be identified. They will be identified as followers of Christ. They are identified with the same Holy Spirit, they are one in the spirit. "Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his" – (Rom.8:9). So you can plainly see with the mark of the Beast that everyone on earth will be identified with either Christ or Antichrist.
Are you a born again saint of God with your name written in the Lamb's book of life? Have you repented of your sins and turned from your wicked ways and turned to Christ for salvation? Do not go on in your sinful pride and spurn the mercy and grace in God's beloved Son on the cross. Be born again by God the Father by the incorruptible seed – "Being born again, not of corruptible, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever" – (I Pet.1:23).
O' tribulation saint, do not fear what man shall do unto you because you have conquered death in Christ. Jesus said – "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell" – (Mt.10:28). "Here is the patience and the faith of the saints" – (Rev.13:10).
All the unsaved will receive the Mark of the Beast

Our vet hospital needed to attract more customers from the surrounding area. I found Rank 1st SEO online and reached out. Our rep Johnny instructed us that, while there were 4 other vet clinics in the area. We were the only hospital within 20 miles from our town. They designed us a site and we began a local seo campaign. Instant success! Literally in 4 days we were receiving new patients, everyone was telling us they found us on Google.

Rank 1st did a SUPER job on our website. We had an older looking site that had just kind of fell to the wayside. Our competitors (some of which are less than a mile away from us) were at the top of Google search results. Our company wasn't even listed despite me searching for my service in my hometown on both the office computer and my own phone. They informed that the SEO may take some time to show results like up to 3 months or so. Wrong, less than 4 days later, the phone calls coming in were from new people in our area and close by. I have work booked for the next 4 months!

I went back to advertising in the newspaper and craigslist to make ends meet. Well a few of my friends own businesses as well and they told me on all the money I was missing out on by not having a website. I told them I had one, didn't work out, not investing. They asked,"did a professional build it and was the seo done?" I said no. That's the problem. I trust them, so right there I went online, rank 1st seo was listed I called said i own a tree service build me a site with seo and i service these areas.Two weeks later I had a fully functionally site, a week or so after that, call after call of new customers!

Discussing The Rise of Wooden Buildings as Dorset House is completedJournal
With the completion of our latest residential project; Dorset House, an energy plus family home built to Passivhaus standards we are once again reminded of how architecture makes it possible to reimagine a more sustainable future. Our director Anna Woodeson, having spearheaded green initiatives within practice, wrote a recent article for Audi Magazine about this very topic.
Imagine a future where high-rise buildings are built without steel and concrete. It might seem like an ill-conceived idea but wood is reaching new heights as a popular building material while giving climate change a kick in the crotch.
So here's the high-rise 'storey' of wood.
Wood as a building material is as old as the hills – and the forests that have covered them since time immemorial. But in the last decade there's been a new kid on the (chopping) block – Cross Laminated Timber, or CLT. It is essentially a wood sandwich and comes in large slabs and consists of several layers of wood stacked and glued together. CLT has some big advantages over steel and concrete – it is easy to deliver to a site in a dense urban area and is quick, clean and easy to work with. Concrete, even with steel to reinforce it, doesn't always stand the test of time as anyone hit by the closures to the Hammersmith Flyover in London well knows. Wood also looks the part for those who prefer natural good looks to rough-hewn brutalism.
When discussing this with timber expert, Ashley Perry of real estate consultancy JLL, he noted that the interiors created through the use of CLT suit the less corporate client; the Facebook and Googles of the world, whose interest in their employees' health and wellbeing is expressed in their office environment.
But here's the real deal sealer: steel and concrete production currently accounts for nearly 10% of global CO2 emissions, being energy intensive, polluting and wasteful compared to CLT.
CLT is enabling architects to really branch out. In 2008 Waugh Thistleton built a nine-storey tower of CLT in Hackney, London, making it the world's tallest timber residential building. The wood used stores over 181 tonnes of carbon and, by not using a reinforced concrete frame, a further 125 tonnes of carbon were saved.
Across the Atlantic in Minneapolis, the T3 building is nearing completion. It's a seven-storey retail and office space covering 20,000 square metres. The construction is due to be completed in just 2.5 months and, to add to its environmental credentials, the majority of the wood comes from trees killed by the mountain pine beetle.
PLP Architecture and researchers from the University of Cambridge are pushing the CLT boundaries even further with plans for an 80-storey tower at the Barbican in London. If realised, it would become London's tallest building after The Shard.
However, it might seem unsettling for some to live or work in a wooden building. Certainly there are barriers to be overcome. These include legal restrictions, the greater ease with which CLT transfers noise and the lack of UK CLT production capacity. But fire is not on this list. The proponents of tall wooden buildings point out that wooden structures can be safer than steel with charred wooden surfaces protecting the structural wood beneath.
Surely there is a wider political context? In London there are over 250 towers of more than 20 storeys in the planning pipeline and London's new mayor, Sadiq Khan has promised 50,000 homes a year during his tenure. As engineer Kell Jones points out: 'What better way than to use the construction output of the next few decades as a feasible carbon capture scheme?' Wood is going places – we'd be foolish to stand in its way.

Cookie Cutter Bead Ornaments
Designed By Lennis Rodriguez
Cookie cutter bead ornaments are fun and easy to create with whatever beads you have on hand. Finish in the cookie cutter or without it for a more free-form look. Just add a ribbon hanger and they are ready to hang on the tree, a wreath, or attach to a gift.
Step: 1
You will need:
- Your favorite bead colors or bead mix—see the Shopping List for the colors we used
- Standard oven
- Cookie sheet
- Parchment paper
- Metal cookie cutters* for finishing
- Cooking spray
- Popsicle stick
- Glitter
- Ribbon
*You can re-use the cookie cutters for more ornaments, but we do not recommend re-using them for making cookies.
Step: 2
Download the PDF for the Cookie Cutter Bead Ornaments Project Sheet if you would like to print a copy of these instructions with large photos. Gather all your materials, and choose the bead colors you want to use for the cookie cutter shapes you have selected. It takes very few beads to create the ornaments.
Step: 3
Cut a piece of parchment paper to cover the cookie sheet and place the cookie cutters on top. Apply cooking spray to the cookie cutters as follows: If you intend to remove the ornament from the cookie cutter for finishing, spray thoroughly; if you plan to finish your ornament with the cookie cutter attached, spray very lightly.
Step: 4
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Remember, an adult should do all steps involving the oven and handling of the hot cookie sheet. Place beads inside the cookie cutters making sure to create just a single layer. Use the popsicle stick to help position the beads.
Step: 5
Finish adding the beads to all the cookie cutters you are using—don't forget, just a single layer! Otherwise, the beads will not melt properly. If desired, add a tiny pinch of glitter here and there for sparkle.
Step: 6
Into the oven they go! Bake for 10 minutes. Note: The intention is not to melt the beads flat. Some colors melt at different rates than others because of the color pigments used, so the appearance will be textured and varied which adds to the appeal!
Step: 7
After 10 minutes, an adult should remove the cookie sheet to a safe cooling area. Some beads will have flattened a bit, some stretched into fun shapes—cool, huh?
Step: 8
Let the ornaments and cookie cutters cool completely before handling. If you are removing the ornaments from the cutters, do so gently. Whether you finish the ornaments in or out of the cookie cutters, you can slip an end of ribbon through a gap in the beads to make the hanger.

QUẢNG TRỊ — While thousands of locals await clean water, a nearly-complete water supply project in central Quảng Trị Province has been delayed for over a year due to the lack of funding.
The project aims at providing clean water to over 1,700 households from Hải Lăng District's Hải Chánh Commune and other houses in neibouring Hải Sơn Commune.
"We have been looking forward to accessing clean water supply for years. We used to carry cans of water from the river for daily activities," Thảo, a local, told the Báo pháp luật Việt Nam (Việt Nam Law) newspaper.
"We were delighted on hearing that a water supply plant was being built, but it hasn't finished even after many years", she said, adding that residents had complained to competent agencies several times but no action had been taken.
Bùi Văn Sinh, deputy chairman of Hải Chánh Commune, said eight out of 11 villages were in need of clean water because the wells had either gone dry or were contaminated with alum.
Some 300 households in Mỹ Chánh Village often did not even have water for daily use for the past six months, he said.
Those who lived near Mỹ Chánh Market were forced to buy clean water from Thừa Thiên-Huế Province's Phong Điền District and neighbouring communes to cook their meals, he said.
The newspaper reported that most of the infrastructure-related projects, such as the management room, pumping station and mud treatment storage tank, were complete. However, with the project suspended since March last year, some areas had got damaged by the weather.
Worse still, locals were using the plant as a place to breed cows.
The project was approved in 2010 and was expected to be completed in 2012. However, due to problems in capital allocation, construction of the Hả Chánh Water supply project, with total estimated capital of nearly VNĐ31 billion (US$1.36 million) started in mid-2014 and was due to finish by the end of the following year.
Of this capital, VNĐ19 billion ($835,000) was to come from the State budget, VNĐ3billion ($132,000) from the Quảng Trị Water Supply and Construction One Member Limited Company and the rest was funded by the Italian government.
Trần Quỳnh, deputy director of Quảng Trị Water Supply and Construction One Member Limited Company, the project's investor, said in accordance with the signed contract, the Italian government was to support capital for purchasing water pipes and other equipments for the plant.
However, the Ministry of Finance has not yet allocated this sum of money for the province.
Meanwhile, just one third of the VNĐ22 billion investment ($966,000), or VNĐ7.5 billion ($330,000), has so far been disbursed, leading to suspension of the project, he said. — VNS
