Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
Azealia Banks is guiltlessly racking up her roster of industry foes in practically every corner of Hollywood, from the rap world with RZA, Remy Ma and Cardi B all the way to the small screen circle with folks like then-14-year-old Skai Jackson.
She now has fellow Harlemite and singer, dance icon and model Teyana Taylor on her hit list, as told by a shady accusation she made regarding the Shumpert matriarch's choreography talents.
Azealia posted a behind-the-scenes clip to Instagram of the choreo for her commemoratory track titled "Anna Wintour," inspired by the famed fashion guru and longtime Vogue editor-in-chief. The Ice Princess is donned in a form-fitting crop top and curve-hugging shorts as she whips, rocks, rolls and poses to the beat. A fan pointed out that the vibes from the footage is reminiscent of Taylor's widely-celebrated, iconic cameo in Kanye West's "FADE" visual, which premiered during the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.
Azealia's response to the fan, however, hinted at something not so celebratory.
"@kevinlibrado lol you mean the chorography she stole from @bornready_matt and tried not to give him credit for until he got a lawyer involved…" she wrote back to the fan.
Neither Matthew Pasterisa, the alleged "FADE" original choreographer in question, nor Teyana responded to Azealia's comment, despite several fans tagging them both in responses to the Harlem rapper. There's also no public knowledge of any lawsuits or legal combat between them either, but instead, an interview where Teyana credited her co-choregraphy with Pasterisa following the overwhelmingly positive reception of the video.
"By the way, the dance scene at the very, very end, maybe the last eight counts that I did; me and one of my homeboys Matthew Pasterisa actually made that choreography for Beyoncé for when the 'End of Time' came out," the GOOD Music signee shared with Vogue magazine. "She loved it but she wound up not being able to use it because she was pregnant, but back then the world didn't know. All this time that choreography was just sitting there. And as soon as I was freestyling it just came out naturally."
Thus, Azealia's accusation should probably be taken with just a small pinch of salt.
See her allegation below.

Responsible procurement is the 'golden thread' running through the City Corporation's overarching City Procurement Strategy. It recognises our responsibility to help the organisation procure value for money goods, services and works, whilst maximising social value, minimising environmental impacts and ensuring the ethical treatment of people throughout its supply chains.
The City Corporation is continually strengthening its pursuit of these goals, grouped into three key pillars of Responsible Procurement, with value for money principles applying throughout:
Suppliers to the City Corporation will be expected to share in our commitment to responsible procurement through the delivery of goods, services and works – the extent to which will depend on the nature, scope and value of each contract.
The way in which we pre-qualify bidders, specify requirements and evaluate potential suppliers reflects the Corporation's commitment to responsible procurement, as do the terms and conditions of the contracts we make.
The City Corporation's first Modern Slavery Statement brings together the roles, remits, commitments and all work undertaken to tackle modern slavery and human trafficking by the City of London Police, Department for Children and Community Services, Community Safety, Port Health & Public Protection, HR, City Procurement, the Barbican, City Bridge Trust and Heart of the City. The Statement also details plans for continuous improvement and will be refreshed in July 2019.

A workshop at SML College about symbolism and the ideology of national socialism run by German intern, Laura Bernard.
One morning at SML College, just before our community meeting, one of the older students began drawing swastikas on a flip-chart. Although it was most likely intended to be a provocative joke, myself and the other adults in the community, immediately agreed that using this symbol in any way is completely unacceptable. Although, we clarified that this was a real no-go, I still felt the need to pursue a deeper discussion on the subject. It seemed that most of the students didn´t see why drawing a swastika was such a big deal and some of them didn't even know what it was. The perfect opportunity for a session on political education at SML College was born.
The aim of the workshop I prepared was to give the students a notion of what national socialism means. What are the basic ideas of this ideology? Which consequences would their implementation cause society? Rather than give them a lecture on this rather heavy subject, I prepared a series of games, activities and discussions that would allow them to understand through experience and encourage them to draw their own conclusions.
For the first game every student got a sticker on their forehead which was one of four colours: red, yellow, blue or green. Whilst they could see everyone else's sticker, they didn't know which colour their own sticker was. The task was to build four groups without talking. After a little while four groups were formed – a red one, a yellow, a blue and a green one. Well done, BUT: Why did they build the groups related to the colours? It was not required in the task. They could have built the groups in any way: by age, friends, favourites, etc. This game was supposed to highlight how easily an population divides their self into groups, just because someone set up some random marks.
The next exercise established a hierarchical order between the groups: from now on the reds and the yellows were called "Elites" whilst the blues and greens were "Subhumans". Unsurprisingly, the "Elites" were superior to the "Subhumans" and to distinguish betweeh the two the "Subhumans" had to wear an armlet. Now they had to go around and collect posters I had spread all over the building before which were showing different slogans like: "Subhumans are not welcome in here", "Elites resist, don´t buy anything from Subhumans!", ect… I didn't invent these slogans. All of them were very common in nazi-Germany, I just replaced Germans with "Elites" and Jews with "Subhumans". When the students came back with the slogans they had to sit in a circle: "Elites" on chairs and "Subhumans" on the floor. "Subhumans" were ordered to spread the slogans in the centre and read them out while the "Elites" ate the candy they had received from me, the leader, for their great work. And who had to collect the candy papers? Of course the Subhumans.
Finally the children started to protest against this injustice. Some of them didn´t like to be "Elites" any more and others started to disagree with their "Subhuman" title. After a short while everybody was engaged in a serious discussion about equality and human rights. Eventually they came to the conclusion, that every human should be treated equally and with respect and that there shouldn't be any classification. And of course the former "Subhumans" got candy too.
Now it was my time, to give a little input. I told them about the four main principles of national socialism (Racial ideology, Anti-Semitism, settler colonialism and the leader principle) and let them draw the parallels to our game and the slogans. Now they had to think about how the implementation of these principles would affect society. To give them an example, I told them about nazi-Germany and its awful results. But as the issue of national socialism is not confined to the past, it was important to talk about how these ideas still exist in society today for example with the rise of far-right-wing movements throughout Europe. We watched a short video (Link underneath) which showed the activities of far-right-wing movements in different countries in Europe. The task was to pay attention to certain symbols, gestures, phrases and the raised issues. In the sharing of thoughts that followed the students were surprised to realise that what we saw was quite similar to the principles we discussed earlier. Only that Muslims and refugees replaced Jews as the main subjects of offences. It was very clear to everybody then, that national socialism is an ongoing problem. At the end we discussed whether it made sense to ban certain symbols, gestures and phrases to thwart these movements or not. We didn't find a final answer, but agreed that we should respect the feelings of the people who feel offended by a swastika.

Bonamia ostreae
In May 2017, MPI detected the flat oyster parasite Bonamia ostreae on flat oyster farms in Stewart Island. Find out about the parasite, what we're doing to try to control its spread, and the rules that apply to the movement of shellfish and marine farm equipment.
What is Bonamia ostreae?
Bonamia ostreae is a parasite that can be fatal for flat oysters. Outbreaks of Bonamia ostreae overseas have severely impacted oyster fisheries, and it could have similar impacts here.
The parasite was first detected in New Zealand in the Marlborough Sounds in 2015, and subsequently discovered on flat oyster farms in Big Glory Bay, Stewart Island in May 2017.
Controlled Area Notice restricts shellfish movements
A Controlled Area Notice is in place to help prevent the further spread of Bonamia ostreae. This legally restricts movements of some shellfish species, including their spat, out of the Contained Zone (Nelson and Marlborough) and into the Protected Zone covering Southland, Otago and the Chatham Islands.
The notice also restricts the movement of some shellfish species, and marine farm equipment and craft, into and out of Stewart Island.
Controlled Area Notice [PDF, 4.5 MB]
You may need a permit
If you're moving restricted shellfish stock, or marine farm equipment and craft, into or out of zones covered by the Controlled Area Notice, you may need a permit.
What you can do to prevent the spread
If you're out on the water, collecting shellfish or fishing in areas listed under the Controlled Area Notice, there are steps you can take to help prevent the spread of Bonamia ostreae.
The risk of Bonamia ostreae spreading to flat oysters increases if any shellfish, or their discarded shells and waste, are moved from one area to another in the water. This risk is particularly high in Big Glory Bay and Paterson Inlet (Stewart Island).
To protect our wild oysters from Bonamia ostreae:
- Don't throw shells or shellfish waste overboard.
- Return undersized or excess shellfish back to where you collected them.
- Dispose of shells and shellfish waste at home or in a landfill.
- Clean your fishing gear after you've finished collecting.
- Keep your boat hull clean.
How to spot infection
Generally, signs of the disease caused by Bonamia ostreae, which can often go undetected, are:
- poor condition
- gills that appear corroded
- yellow discolouration of the gills and mantle.
Flat oyster farmers and harvesters who see these signs in oysters, or mass mortality, should call our Exotic Pest and Disease Hotline – 0800 80 99 66.
Fact sheet about Bonamia ostreae [PDF, 800 KB]
No food safety risk
There is no food safety issue from eating oysters with Bonamia ostreae. Fresh, good quality New Zealand oysters continue to be safe to eat.
What MPI is doing
Planning for long term management
MPI is planning for the long-term management of Bonamia ostreae and has identified key activities that aim to protect uninfected wild oyster populations. A Governance Group has been set up to support the delivery of a programme of work that:
- maintains the Controlled Area Notice
- provides for continued monitoring of wild oyster populations and marine farms
The programme also promotes biosecurity best practice and will identify when and where it may be appropriate for the farming of flat oysters to occur.
MPI's response
MPI's response to the incursion of Bonamia ostreae commenced in 2015, and was formally closed in December 2018. On 12 June 2017, following the detection of Bonamia ostreae in Stewart Island, MPI delivered a Notice of Direction to flat oyster farmers in Big Glory Bay in Stewart Island and Marlborough requiring the removal of all flat oyster stocks (examples provided below). The removal of farms was completed in late 2017
Key documents produced during the response are provided below.
- Bonamia ostreae investigation report [PDF, 4.2 MB]
- Report of the Technical Advisory Group on resilience breeding in flat oysters [PDF, 616 KB]
- Fact sheet about Bonamia ostreae response [PDF, 297 KB]
- Notice of Direction Big Glory Bay [PDF, 484 KB]
- Notice of Direction Marlborough [PDF, 464 KB]
Compensation for losses
There are provisions for compensation under the Biosecurity Act 1993. If you can prove financial losses arising from MPI's exercise of powers under the Biosecurity Act, and your loss resulted from damage or destruction of property, or from restrictions placed on the movement or disposal of your goods – you can claim compensation for those losses.
Compensation is funded from a special appropriation from Parliament requiring, in some cases, Crown Law endorsement and Cabinet approval.
The Act gives clear grounds for compensation but the losses must have actually occurred and can be verified, and you have been unable to mitigate the losses by taking every step that is reasonable in the circumstances.
Affected parties have to apply for compensation.
The amount paid depends on what verifiable losses have incurred as the result of any direction by MPI. Each situation will be different and every claim has to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. MPI's compensation team will assess claims under section 162A of the Biosecurity Act.
If you have questions about compensation email:
Application form and guidance on the compensation process
Welfare and support
The welfare of people affected by the response is important to us. We understand that many people may be worried about the activities and impacts associated with the Bonamia ostreae response. Stress and anxiety affect people differently – ask for help early.
Some groups that may be able to help include:
Help and information for fishers, oyster farmers and people affected by biosecurity responses' [PDF, 1.3 MB]
Who to contact
If you have questions about Bonamia ostreae:
- email firstname.lastname@example.com
- call our Exotic Pest and Disease Hotline – 0800 80 99 66.

Today I read in a Newspaper that women over 30 should be spending more time in moderate exercise, 150 minutes per day was suggested, which reminded me how inactive I am. Recently I completed a Handbook which started out Notes to Self and putting it together has challenged me on many issues, particularly the exercise issue. Being considerably overweight I recognise that my reasonably good health status for my age has much to do with the active exercise I was involved in up to my 40's. I ponder though that exercise is not the only movement we need to be aware of and include a page from said Handbook below for your consideration…..AND MINE…thanks for the reminder Courier Mail.
Life, Love, Health, Laughter, Joy, Passion, Emotion, Success, IT'S ALL ABOUT FLOW and to maintain this FLOW we need to maintain unhindered Motion. Every internal part of our body in its natural state is in consistent motion including our brain, heart, lungs, intestines, kidneys, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, cells, lymph and circulatory system.
We need to be consistently aware of the effect sitting has on our body and its moving parts and systems. It reduces the motion of nutrients and energy through the body. The clear circulation of oxygen and the free flow of blood and lymph are all vital for our ongoing wellbeing.
Sitting also tends to form stiffness and blockages to clear flow throughout our spine, neck and shoulders etc. If this develops a curved or stooped frame, it impacts on the vital heart and lung organs hence reducing their full capacity to beat, inhale and exhale.
It is imperative to get up and move around every 30 minutes or so for around 5 minutes, whether from our desk or lounge. This allows the motion of venous return from our feet to be enhanced along with a return to mostly unheeded FLOW in the rest of our body.
Motion obviously includes exercise. It doesn't need to be strenuous and can fit into our usual daily activities of gardening, housework, walking to work etc. Otherwise engage in a 30-40 minute walk at a pace enjoyable to you 4-5 times each week, Tai Chi or a similar practice.
The main catalyst for restricted motion within our energy and physical components is blocked/trapped/frozen negative Emotions that we deny, suppress or remain unconscious of. They are the very reason we develop compulsions and addictions, which are the arsenal used by the primitive part of our brain (amygdala) to create emotional disconnection, seemingly protecting us from what it sees as a threat. It cannot differentiate between an internal threat for example suppressed Anger being triggered and an external threat such as Tiger ready to leap.
This suppression keeps the emotion stuck in our energy system instead of moving through us like the weather (Emotion=EnergyinMotion) which then affects our physiology at some level along with our relationships and lifestyle goals and outcomes. Remember, suppressed emotions have a toxic physiology of their own, which impacts negatively on wellbeing.
Because we have a long history of being selective about which emotional expression is acceptable, most negative emotions have been trapped since childhood, or inherited even. They have then compounded with further emotional injuries added over the years, which are usually attracted by the initial trapped emotion which acts as a magnet for more of the same. From a health perspective the harder we push the emotion/s down the harder they kick back, hence dis-ease develops. Emotions are totally natural, allow them to FLOW."
"Movement is life and life is movement"

Copy a task to future date
Анонім 8 років тому • оновлено Ana Loraine 2 роки тому • 6
I have an important task that occurs every fourth Friday (as an example). Please add ability to repeat a task or (much easier) to just duplicate a task then I could modify it. This way a user does not have to cut/paste the title and notes.
Franklin-Covey app used to have a type of repeating task that when you marked it complete, it would pop-up and you'd fill in the next due date and save it - thus, "idiot-proofing" the repeat so you don't forget to move it forward.
After adding a future task - it would be nice to jump directly back to "Today".
Great APP - keep up the super work!
You can copy a task by doing holding CTRL when you drag a task!
I am planning to add recurring tasks soon. It won't work exactly the way you are describing it (Notes are not copied, and you are not prompted for the next date). This is why I have renamed your suggestion to "Copy a task to future date" so that people can vote on it.
There is a "Today" button when you pass your mouse under the big blue left arrow in your weekplan.
You can copy a task by doing holding CTRL when you drag a task!
Is it still possible to copy and paste tasks? I would like to be able to rename a task. That pops up often but is slightly different everytime.
Hi there!
Thank you for the inquiry.
Copying of the task by holding CTRL while dragging it is not available with the new version.
Thank you for the reply! Is there anyway to copy tasks?
You may highlight the texts from the tasks then use the copy and paste function of your pc.
Also, you can use the repeat function:
Please let us know if you need further assistance with the app. :)

Emerald is a green gemstone varying in depths of green colour to very dark and peacock greens. Often referred to as an inspirational stone and helps you to find what you are looking for on a personal level. Emerald is beneficial to the heart and opens it up to positive emotions and brings calm to the mental, physical and emotional levels. Emeralds aid those wishing to bring out their clairvoyant insights and tune into their intuitive mind. Use Emeralds with the crystal of Malachite for healing of Body and Mind.
This stone benefits those needing strength and hope to move through difficult times and situations. Worn as a pendant over the heart is said to protect the wearer from the pain of lost love, jealousy or deception. It strengthens the mind aiding clear thinking, concentration and knowledge. Emeralds help you recognise the truth and to have understanding toward others. This Gemstone is said to be beneficial to the eyes, muscle structure, heart, lungs and bones; it is also an excellent detoxifier for the liver.
Emeralds are sourced mainly for use in jewellery, especially rings and pendants but can also make beautiful ear rings and can be quite expensive for a well faceted dark green specimen. Raw specimens are accessible and not as expensive to purchase.
Emerald aids in the recovery of situations that have had emotional upheaval or torment. This gemstone aligns its energy with the zodiac star signs of;
Leo July 23rd – August 22nd. Leo the Lion is drawn to this stone to protect the heart from hurt and to help them thru difficult times of love.

When they were very young, my children would often ask me to read them the Little Golden Book, Tootle. A beloved standard of kiddie literature, "Tootle" tells the story of the eponymous "baby locomotive" who is in training at the Lower Trainswitch School for Locomotives. A diligent and ambitious student, Tootle works hard to master that most important of locomotive lessons, Staying on the Rails No Matter What. But one day, after being challenged to a race by a swift black horse, Tootle chooses to jump the tracks in order to keep pace with his competitor. The race ends in a meadow whose sights and smells captivate Tootle. In the ensuing days, Tootle visits the meadow again and again, leaving the rails so that he is free to chase butterflies and dance amid the buttercups.
It isn't until Tootle is waylaid by a scheme carried out by Bill, the head of the Lower Trainswitch School, that the young locomotive realizes the error of his ways.
Bill supplies red flags to all of the townsfolk, who hide themselves in the meadow grass. When the young locomotive jumps the tracks and rolls into the field, a villager's red flag is suddenly "poked up from the grass and waved hard." When Tootle turns to the left, there is another red flag, and when he turns to the right, there is yet another.
"And of course, Tootle ha[s]to stop for each one, for a locomotive must always Stop for a Red Flag Waving."
There's an allegory here.
Right up until the black horse's challenge, Tootle is able to distinguish right locomotive behavior from wrong locomotive behavior. He knows that going off the rails can never be justified. Yet his pride compels Tootle to make the wrong choice.
"I can't let a horse beat me," he says. "Everyone at school will laugh at me."
After the race, as he is standing in the beautiful field of flowers, Tootle finds him bedazzled by the landscape. He momentarily forgets his brazen flouting of the Number One rule of conscientious locomotivery, Staying on the Rails No Matter What.
Later on, however, his conscience bothers him. Back at the school, Tootle says "nothing about leaving the rails," but he thinks about it that night in the roundhouse.
And Tootle makes up his mind not to sin again.
"Tomorrow I will work hard," resolves Tootle. "I will not even think of leaving the rails, no matter what."
The next day, Tootle is dutifully practicing Staying on the Rails No Matter What. When the track curves towards the meadow, however, Tootle's resolve is weakened by a "big yellow carpet" of buttercups.
"How I should like to play in them and hold one under my searchlight to see if I like butter!" Tootle thinks.
And so begins Tootle's inward struggle. As he clicks and clacks around the Great Curve, his wheels – goading Tootle like little demons – begin to say over and over again, "Do you like butter? Do you?"
"I don't know," snaps Tootle. "But I'm going to find out."
And Tootle gives in to the temptation of the open field. He "hop[s]off the tracks and bump[s]along the meadow to the yellow buttercups." There the young locomotive frolics with abandon until the sun begins to set.
The next day, and the day after that, Tootle leaves the rails and rolls into the meadow to play. He no longer feels guilty about his wrongdoing. His conscience calloused by repeated transgressions, Tootle routinely "tootl[es} happily down the tracks" in anticipation of his daily meadow jaunt, hopping eagerly off the rails with no thought other than "what a beautiful day it [is]."
Aware of Tootle's illicit excursions, Bill puts his plan into effect at Tootle's next visit to the meadow. Tootle, faced with a waving red flag at every turn, has nowhere to go. "Why did I think this meadow was such a fine place?" wonders the young locomotive. The forbidden field has lost its appeal for the sorrowful Tootle. Tears of regret are "ready to slide out of his boiler."
Suddenly, Tootle notices Bill standing on the tracks, holding a big green flag.
"This is the place for me," says Tootle. "There is nothing but red flags for locomotives that get off their tracks."
And the villagers shout, "Hurray for Tootle!" and hail the young locomotive as a lost sheep might be welcomed back into the fold.
Can you recommend any other children's books that could be used as catechism tools?

THE AGRICULTURE OF EDO & TOKYO Shinagawa Negi and Kabu
Facing to Edo Bay, the people here in Shinagawa lived on fishing and farming.
Negi (welsh onion) was introduced to Edo during 1573-1529 by the settlers from Osaka district. Its culture started in and around Shinagawa post town and won the brand name 'Shinagawa Negi'. The record around 1804 describes of the Shinagawa Kabu (turnip) which was grown for preserved food in winter. The center of vegetable production gradually moved to Oi and Osaki areas.

nominal return(redirected from Continuously compounded nominal and real returns)
Also found in: Wikipedia.
Nominal Return
The rate of return on an investment without adjusting for inflation. It is calculated simply by taking the dollar amount of the return and comparing it to the amount invested. A high nominal return does not guarantee a real profit. For example, if the nominal return on an investment is 7% and the inflation rate is 4%, the real rate of return is only 3%.

The rate of return on an investment without adjustment for inflation. While nominal return is useful in comparing the returns from different investments, it can be a very misleading indication of true investor earnings on an investment. Compare real return.

Say No to Concretisation, let our "Mother Earth" breath.
Concretisation of Trees space, leads to death of Our Friends (trees) and Our (We, My Children & Grand Children) Future.
what is Concretisation ?
The concretisation of trees in city has been an ongoing process, not necessarily as a result of any planned strategy to damage, fell or reduce the number of trees in city, but large as a callousness and ignorance of city people towards the needs and rights of our tree friends.
Concretisation is a fiscal drive. It is a fact that each bit of soil is being covered in different parts of the the city, be it in the residential colonies, on the main avenues or even in institutional areas and campuses etc.
Why is it happening ? (More area under concrete implies more money)
One probable reason for this high rate and pace of concretisation activity is that each square feet of concretisation entails a particular charge/ rate by the civic agencies involved. Thus, with more concretisation, more money can be made by the contractor and even the agencies involved in the concretisation process. Then, there is the added pressure from the corruption that is plaguing our society today, which is also known to be manifested in this form. More area under concrete implies more money.
The Myth, Loose soil in city is understood as an unnecessary cause of dust in people's house. Nothing however can be far from the truth. The dust in City's air is largely a result of the desertification of city, which is again a result of the cutting and felling of large number of trees. Unaware of this fact, city people think or equate soil with dirt and germs and for them loose soil is also a big waste since it makes for very bad parking space.
Where is it needed the most ?
It needs to be noted that in reality, choosing the concrete way is usually very expensive and used only at places where there is heavy vehicles movement, e.g. roads and highways. At the same time, leaving areas without concrete often requires it to be maintained with greens and trees, for which no one seems to have the consideration or the patience.

Stress – It's all in your HEAD!
The fact is stress is simply a thought we have, good or bad, its a thought. The problem is what happens
in our body when we are exposed to stress. Your digestive system shuts down, your need for protein
increases, your need for nutrients goes up.

As a Hobbyist, you need simple amplifier circuits to make audio projects. Here explains the design of two Simple Amplifier circuits using IC BEL 1895 and TDA 2002.
1 Watt Audio Amplifier using BEL 1895
BEL 1895 is a nice Amplifier IC that gives clear audio 1 W out put through a 8 Ohms speaker. It is ideal to make a portable amplifier for the Mobile phone, MP3 player etc. BEL 1895 works off 3 to 6 volts, so two 1.5 volt pen cells are sufficient to power the circuit. No explanation is needed for the circuit. Just wire like this and enjoy its performance.Fig.1 shows the Audio amplifier using BEL 1895. Connect the audio out from the Mobile phone or FM radio to the inputs observing the polarity.
Fig.2 shows the Mic amplifier using BEL 1895 IC. You can make a Mini addressing system or Intercom ( 2 units required) using this design.
8 Watt Audio Amplifier using TDA 2002
TDA 2002 is a powerful audio Amplifier ideal for public addressing system in a room or to amplify the sound from a Music system. It works off 9-16 volts. This IC needs a Heat Sink.Fig.3 shows the design of Amplifier using TDA 2002.

Please feel free to contact us! We are here to help you!!
Michele and I are busy mom's, just like you! We know how expensive it is to raise children today!
I have 3 children~Mckenzie (14), Sophie (12) and Nash (10). They play every sport- atleast it feels that way! LOL I live in my car! I am a typical "soccer mom". Sporting equipment gets expensive~ that's why I first started shopping JBF and I was AMAZED at what I found, for a fraction of the price!! Then I figured I might as well sell my stuff and make some extra cash~ My 1st check was over $300, on items I was just going to give away!
Michele has 2 beautiful girls~ Madison (17) and Mackenzie (13). They dance almost every night of the week!
I told Michele (my bestie) for JBF for years! When she finally tried it, she was HOOKED!
We have been best friends for over 6 years, our daughters are best friends, our husbands are best friends, and now we are partners! Our sale is a family event and you will see us all there! We look forward to meeting you at our event(s)!!

In recent years, rock climbing has gone from extreme to mainstream. Every year, more and more people are trying this fun, adventurous sport. Igneous Rock Gym plans to take advantage of this rapid growth by being the first and only climbing gym in Igneous.
According to census.gov, the greater Igneous metropolitan area has a population in excess of 350,000 people. People in nearly all demographics can and do climb; therefore, it is realistic to use this figure as a starting point for the potential climbing customer market. The key to Igneous Rock Gym's success will be to make indoor climbing appealing to the largest cross section of population. This will be achieved through the following means:
More and more Americans are looking to pay for experiences rather than just products. Igneous Rock Gym will focus on providing each customer with an experience that will make them want to come back for more.
Igneous Rock Gym will be a Limited Liability Company, with start-up funding provided in its entirety by the owners, Micah Quartz and Cole Granite. Quartz and Granite bring unique skills to the company with expertise in building design and construction, and over ten years in the climbing gym industry.
Climbing gyms have high start-up costs; however, once built, they enjoy extremely low cost of sales. These high margins will allow Igneous Rock Gym to generate strong profits during its first 12 months of operation. Sales for the first year will be just over $250,000, with a very solid net profit to sales ratio. During the next two fiscal years, profits are projected to increase. A modest yearly growth in sales is used for these projections. If the fitness gym industry's growth rate of 10% were used, the profits would be even higher.
Igneous Rock Gym's mission is to provide patrons of all ages a fun, safe environment in which to exercise, socialize, and gain new climbing skills. By focusing on these fundamental qualities, the friendly and knowledgeable staff will create an environment that is welcoming to wanting to try climbing for the first time as well as the experienced climber.
Igneous Rock Gym plans on achieving three objectives:
The success of any climbing gym depends on four key factors:

You survived Thanksgiving without going into a food coma. You got the Christmas tree up without breaking any of the important ornaments and with many happy recollections of family time. Nobody fell of the ladder when you were hanging up the outdoor lights, and only one strand of lights was broken. Despite the obvious blessings of the holiday elves, you still can't relax, because in half an hour, guest will be pouring through your front door, expecting a holiday party to end all holiday parties. Take a deep breath, because it is all going to be ok. Sublime Homes has come up with a handy guide to putting on the final touches to your party and mitigating crises before the guest arrive.
If everything has gone smoothly in your preparation stage – all the food came out fine, and nothing unexpected cropped up – but you still feel like you need to do something, don't worry, you are just having some mild anxiety before your party starts. At this point you should do a final look over of your food and decorations, maybe fluff your pillows, and turn on your favorite music. Your friends are going to have a great time at your holiday party.
If you have had a minor kerfuffle with your decorations – after all, not everyone can be the queen of Pinterest, and many 'easy' DIY decorations are far from that – you have to decide if you have enough time to totally start over, turn your craft into a new thing, or go for a minimalist theme. If you have enough time to restart your DIY decoration project, take a deep breath and consider scaling back the project. If you don't have enough time to totally start re-decorating, but won't let Pinterest get the better of you, there are ways you can turn your problem project into something new. Deformed cut out snowflakes can be quickly cut up into confetti to create 'snow' on your tables. If your Christmas cookies and treats didn't come out as cute as they should have, put a cheeky note out on the table that you are saving the best treats for Santa. If all else fails, you can always rid yourself of the chaotic craft, and opt for a more minimalist theme, letting your good company be the center piece of your party. Don't let decoration issues bring you down as you host your party. The holidays are about spending time with the people you love, and if you can let the stress of decorating go, you and your loved ones will be able to laugh about your holiday mishap. If you want a good laugh, you can always pull up Good Housekeeping's gallery of holiday fails.
Every good party needs food. Realizing that your meal or snacks didn't come out the way they should have can be one of the most stressful things to happen before your guests arrive. For dinner parties, or any other type of party where the main focus is a sit-down meal, it is crucial you prepare wisely. If a side dish didn't come out the way the recipe said it would, scrap it, and move on. There is almost always too much food made for parties, so having one dish absent, won't cause a problem. For portions of the meal like desert or bread, consider sending a family member to the grocery store for a replacement. For problems with main courses of a dinner party, you are going to have to find a way to replace or fix the food. If you don't have time to restart or repurpose your dish, sending a family member out to get a roast chicken from the store is generally the best option. If the problem with your food is cosmetic, don't worry about it. If you are throwing a dinner party, make a joke as you serve it, and if you are throwing a snack based party, just put out a cheeky note.
As you wait for your guest to arrive to your holiday party, keep in mind that despite whatever issue you are having with preparations, your friends and family are coming over to spend time with you, not because they expect to have a five-star meal or attend an event. The holidays are about being with the people you love, so don't let a minor setback make you miss out on your friends and family.

text: From Biochemical Engineering to Synthetic Biology: A Short History of Engineering Impacts on Biotechnology Originally delivered Sep 27, 2012 Source: SBE - Society for Biological Engineering Type: Archived WebinarLevel: Intermediate Duration: 1 hour PDHs: 1.00 Share This Post: Preview Webinar: Harvey Blanch's webinar will focus on how biochemical engineering developed in response to the need for large-scale production of antibiotics in the 1940s and 50s, even though fermentation provided a route to many industrial organic chemicals prior to their production from petroleum. He will review the growth and impact of biochemical engineering over the past 70 years, with a focus on the role of genetic engineering and molecular biology in expanding industrial biotechnology. The Society for Biological Engineering presents the Bailey Award each year to an individual who has had an important impact on bioengineering and whose achievements have advanced the profession. Professor Jay Bailey, for whom the award is named, left an educational legacy that touched many modern biochemical and biological engineers in the profession today. The award has been endowed by Cytos Biotechnology and recipients include Terry Papoutsakis, Chaitan Khosla, Harvey Blanch, James Liao, James Swartz, George Georgiou, Robert Langer, Nicholas Peppas, Edwin Lightfoot, and Michael Shuler. The Bailey Webinar Series hosts lectures from each of these award recipients. Dr. Harvey Blanch of UC Berkeley will discuss the role of genetic engineering and molecular biology in expanding industrial biotechnology. Presenter(s): Harvey Blanch Research Interests Current research in the Blanch lab is focused on three areas: Protein interactions: The broad objectives of this research are to develop molecular-thermodynamic descriptions of the behavior of proteins in electrolyte solutions, to provide a framework for the design and optimization of protein separation systems, in particular protein separation by precipitation and protein crystallization.

"Seeking Happily Ever After" Ball on Thu, Aug. 14
A fundraising Ball worthy of a fairytale! To help fund the completion of their documentary "Seeking Happily Ever After," Filmmakers Kerry David ("My Date with Drew", "Making Miles — The Miles Davis Story") and Michelle Cove (bestselling author "I'm Not Mad, I just Hate You!") are throwing an exclusive fundraising Ball on Thursday August 14th at Aqua, 424 N Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA. All proceeds from the event will go towards completing "Seeking Happily Ever After" — a feature-length documentary.
Re-defining the Fairytale!
Re-defining the Fairytale!
Tickets can only be bought online at: Seeking Happily Ever After Fundraising Party
Producer Kerry David says, "This party celebrates men and women at any age, and any stage — single, married, divorced, gay or straight, who are living or seeking their Happily Ever After." This fun filled party will include:
* Mini-fashion show by Rem Productions with clothes by trendy LA boutique SydneyMichelle
* Fabulous Shoes contest: wear your best pumps and we'll award prizes for Most Glamorous, Most Dangerous and Most Courageous to Walk In
* Emcee Jay Black, voted #1 comedian on the college circuit
* Tunes spinning from DJ Dodge from MTV/Europe
* A chance to be interviewed for the DVD bonus features
* Special auction item — a date with Brian Herzlinger at Geoffrey's restaurant, Malibu
* EXTRA! TV show is documenting the filmmakers journey, so dress your best!
One generation's struggle to redefine the fairytale!
With single women today re-writing the rules for love, marriage and success, "Seeking Happily Ever After" explores why there are more single women (over 6 million) in their 30s today than at any other time in history, and how they are redefining what "Happily Ever After" means.
Are you living YOUR "Happily Ever After" or someone else'sä Director Cove shares, "This story goes beyond the current state of single women in the US and into the core of relationships in our society. We've had incredible responses with the interviews in cities across the country. Everyone is asking us what can they do to make sure this doc gets made. This fundraiser Ball is a big step toward getting this film in theaters."

Food glorious food
Already a £3 billion a year industry, food and drink is clearly in a healthy state and is being driven increasingly by companies investing in innovative products, processes and marketing techniques.
Food and drink is also an industry located predominantly in rural communities and is contributing substantially to the economic regeneration of these areas, creating employment opportunities across a range of skills including sales and marketing, engineering and product development.
Forty-one local food and drink companies, mostly smaller enterprises, recently racked up a record 160 gold stars in the UK industry's most prestigious competition, the Great Taste Awards, organised annually by the influential Guild of Fine Food. Five of the companies achieved top ranking for superb food and one, McCartney's of Moira, was named Supreme Champion, the first time this coveted title has been awarded to a Northern Ireland business.
The outstanding achievements of local companies in the awards also demonstrates that they can compete and win at an international level. Several award winners are already selling abroad. They include Dale Farm, Belfast; Fivemiletown Creamery, Tyrone; Kestrel Foods, Craigavon; Punjana, Belfast; Suki Tea, Belfast, White's, Tandragree, and Whitewater Brewing Company, Kilkeel.
Underpinning the remarkable achievements of local companies in the awards is a commitment to the type of market-led innovation, especially in terms of new product development, which Invest Northern Ireland has sought to stimulate and support through a range of programmes.
Two key programmes, Innovation Vouchers and Grant for R&D, have been deployed to assist companies, both large and small, to come up with new ideas that will lead to greater business outside Northern Ireland. More than 200 projects have been supported by Invest NI from food and drink companies through these programmes.
The Innovation Voucher programme, for instance, provides funding of £4,000 for an agreed project involving a link up between a company and a third level institution such Queen's University, Belfast and the University of Ulster.
Most of the food and drink projects, however, have encouraged tie-ups with experts at the Loughry Campus of the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE), which has an extremely well-equipped Food Incubation Centre. An Innovation Voucher enables a company to develop and test the business potential of an idea for a new product or process.
The Grant for R&D Programme offers greater funding to bring a new product to market. Invest NI works closely with the universities, further education colleges and CAFRE to assist food and drink companies here to improve their competitiveness in markets outside Northern Ireland including Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland.
Other forms of support from Invest NI can then assist companies to realise the potential of a product or service particularly in the global marketplace.
This is further complemented by Invest NI's comprehensive portfolio of trade development activities including trade missions, exhibition and trade development activities. Trade missions offer ambitious companies, including those in the food and drink sector, significant opportunities to explore new markets.
Significant support is available for companies on the ground in key markets such as Europe, North America, the Middle East, India and Asia especially China. They provide up-to-date market data, lead generation and support, including guidance on business procedures, foreign language services and advice on shipping issues. Invest NI also organises Northern Ireland presentations at international food exhibitions such as SIAL, Paris; Anuga, Cologne, IFE, London, SHOP, Dublin and the UK Speciality Food shows.
In addition, Invest NI has a team of market advisers in Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland which brokers meetings between companies and potential customers.
This all adds up to a comprehensive portfolio of support from Invest NI for enterprising food and drink companies keen to innovate for success in international markets.

After I finished watching the first episode of Tello Films' new web series The Throwaways, I had to stand up and walk away from my computer to get myself together. In fact, it took me nearly a full day to watch all ten episodes — about two hours of content — because it is one of the most heartbreakingly authentic stories about LGBTQ youth I've ever seen. It is The Misfits meets Skins meets modern-day Dickens, if Dickens had grown up gay and gotten his hands on a video camera. (And I'm only comparing it to British TV because Americans don't have the balls to put this kind of thing on the air.)
The first episode opens with honor student Olivia trying to convince her best friend to study so they'll be able to get into Brown together in the fall. Calculus gives way to making out, because these best friends and more like girlfriends, but their study date is busted up by Olivia's mom, who claims it's not the first time she's spotted the two girls doing more than homework. She tells Olivia to pack a bag for a one-way trip to de-gaying camp, and Olivia obeys — before taking her bag and running away. See, and now I've told you the plot of first ten minutes, but that synopsis doesn't even begin to do justice to the episode. I knew how the first episode was going to shake down, just from watching the trailer, but my heart still wasn't prepared for how real the story felt.
What follows in the next nine episodes is Olivia coming face-to-face with the world outside her parents' home. It is harsh and brutal and unbending — and homophobia is alive and well, thank you very much — but it is not without hope. Hiding inside the broken places, Olivia finds a community of queer women who believe that your real family isn't the one you are born into, but the one you make for yourself. Of course it's not all Christmas carols around the fire when you're a Dickensian street hoodlum. If you've got a merry band of homeless lesbian teens to feed, you kind of have to invoke the Robin Hood rule to get by.
Ashley Andersen plays Olivia. I don't know her from any other projects, but after seeing her here, I've got a feeling I'll be knowing her projects in the future for a long, long time. She simply inhabits Olivia. And Bridget McManus — who, in the spirit of full disclosure, is both my friend and our editor-in-chief's wife — is better than ever in The Throwaways. What's special about her performance is that the she does for the audience exactly what she does for Olivia: She gives us the gift of laughter so we can breathe for just a second. And she also brings it with emotional gravitas in a way I've never seen her do before.
The entire cast is diverse and hella talented, and AfterEllen.com writer Mia Jones even makes her acting debut the series. (She's just as adorable and fierce as you'd expect.)
You never really know what kind of production values you're going to get with a web series, on account of the fact that you can film some scripted dialogue on your iPhone camera and put it on YouTube and call it a web series. But The Throwaways has the highest quality production values I've ever seen in a web series, from the directing to the color correction to the sound design. I'm seriously not kidding when I say that if they'd thrown in a cross-processed skyline and some British accents, this would have felt like an episode of Skins.
Two months ago, when gay folks made their annual Pride marches through every major city in America, there was a distinct sense of victory that accompanied the annual celebration. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" had been overturned, President Obama's administration had promised to stop defending DOMA, and same-sex marriage had been legally recognized in six states, including New York. That weekend Melissa-Harris Perry sat down with a panel of LGBTQ activists to talk about what those legislative achievements mean to the gay community. Ana Oliveira, the President & CEO of The New York Women's foundation, said:
This web series steps into that crisis. It doesn't shy away from the hard truth that 40 percent of homeless youth today are queer, or the fact that those youth are faced with impossible decisions about morality when they can no longer rely on their parents to meet their basic needs. But The Throwaways doesn't abandon us in that bleak statistic. Writers Julie Keck, Jessica King and Christin Mell take us and Olivia to the dark places, to the broken places, and then they stitch us back together with a hope that feels so real.
This is a story that is compelling and gritty — and two dozen other TV buzzwords — enough for primetime network TV, but the ladies at Tello Films aren't waiting around for NBC to do something about it. They're making the magic themselves.
The Throwaways launches August 23 on TelloFilms.com in their premium content section. Check back here on AfterEllen.com later today for an exclusive clip from the series.

- I need some help, please!
8 Jun 2014
There is a possibility that I might have found my future landlord!
As I work my strategy of burning the matchstick at both ends by trading up from the WONDERboom private Rock Concert and trading down from the office (and hopefully finding a way for these trades to meet in the middle!), I have found a possible office!
My prospective Landlord and I have been crunching numbers, and talking about what he would need in order to trade with me for about 200 meters squared of office space. How exciting is that!
And so far we've come up with one idea of a possible trade. I can't go into all the nitty gritty's of the deal here and now as there are still a few meetings to be had before we have something more concrete to share.
But what I would like to let you in on, and ask for your help with please, has to do with the idea we've found to make this trade work.
If I can find another paying tenant (or two) to introduce to my possible future Landlord, then we might have a way to trade. It's a complicated trade, and will involve a few people, so all I need some help with at this stage is to find some people and/ or businesses who would like to rent some office space in Jozi town.
The area is Braamfontein, and it's a fab building in a great location. And Braamfontein rocks! It's all happening in Braamfontein lately! Even the Braamfontein Improvement District echo's that!
Braamfontein has become quite vibey with its markets, art galleries, night clubs, boutique stores, coffee shops, hotels and bars! It's also got a business and education flare, with a few entrepreneurial hubs, WITS University and some international NGO's.
So it's the perfect environment for the onematchstick office, don't you think?
Please help me spread the word, and help me to find my possible future neighbouring tenants!
If you are looking for office space in Johannesburg, and especially in Braamfontein, or know someone who is, please get in touch with me so I can organize for a viewing of the space, and we can chat about the details.
Call me on 083 730 2979!
Thank you!!

It's Sunday again and that means it's time to drag out the ol' work in progress and select six sentences to razzle and dazzle you with. The following six sentences come from a YA paranormal story of a young girl who is an exchange student in France. I hope you enjoy it. Look next week for a post on Irezumi tattoo art.
The smell of fine cigars hit her when she entered the tiny shop. It was packed with
people supporting their habit. Lizbet got in line and waited her turn behind a
man in a nice suit. He had dandruff all over his shoulders though and she made
sure to stay back from his greasy hair. The French may know how to dress, but
some of them still did not know how to bathe.
"Dunhill, menthol, two packs s'il vous plait," she asked.

The Office of the Future: How We Will Work in 2025
Shannon McGrath in Fast Company
It started with glorious failure: Chiat/Day's offices in the early 90s, designed by Frank Gehry. Cliff Kuang writes at Fast Company:
"Each day, employees checked out a phone and a Powerbook at a concierge--and then scrambled to find one of the few available seats. Despite Jay Chiat's bold vision, it was a fiasco: Employees reliant on paper used their car trunks as filing cabinets. Executives commandeered conference rooms as offices. And if you didn't get to work early enough, you didn't get a seat."
Fast Company presents a great slideshow of the Macquarie offices in Sydney, Australia. Architect Clive Wilkinson, who designed the new offices but worked with Gehry on the Chiat/Day project, notes:
"We didn't understand everything it took to make it work," Wilkinson says. "And the state of technology was fairly unevolved."
It is a very different story today. But in 2025? Will we have offices at all? More at Fast Company

Yousuf Raza Gilani is the Prime Minister of Pakistan and as such is visiting the U.S. this week. He came to the role via tragedy, elevated from the vacuum created by the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the former Prime Minister to whom he had long been loyal. Despite Gilani's title, however, it is Bhutto's widower, the controversial Asif Ali Zardari, who is the true power behind Bhutto's People's Party and who has made the bulk of the decisions from his heavily guarded home in a leafy Islamabad neighborhood. Zardari is not shy about his influence, using words like "my government" and referring to himself as a "father" to the People's Party, just as Bhutto was its "mother." But now, Gilani, four months after he was elected Prime Minister, has begun to play a more assertive role.
The reviews so far have been mixed. Gilani, 56, who is from southern Punjab, has a reputation as an understated politician. He "is still adjusting to his role as Prime Minister and discovering the territorial limitations of his office," says political commentator Nusrat Javed. "But recently he has become more confident and more visible." Increased visibility, however, incurs risks, as evidenced by Gilani's first televised address two weeks ago. Dressed in a stiff black coat and flanked by two flags, the Prime Minister hailed the "defeat of dictatorship" and vowed to fulfill his government's many ambitious promises. But he was awkward on air. On occasion, he would turn to the side to speak, facing away from the camera. Then the teleprompter gave up; moments later a shot of the Himalayas filled the screen, as aides scrambled to locate a hard copy of the speech to hand to Gilani.
Riven by internal disputes and weighed down by the pressures of a fast-souring economy, Gilani's coalition government is seen as too weak to act. Indeed, he seems to have only nominal control of the powerful ISI, Pakistan's security and intelligence apparatus, which has a reputation for acting on its own; and he is seen as ceding many prerogatives of the Prime Minister's office to Zardari and to Rehman Malik, Bhutto's security chief who is now, in effect, Pakistan's Minister of the Interior. Says political analyst Talat Masood: "The present government is not in a position to tackle the serious concerns facing this country. It has hardly started to clarify its own position on extremism and terrorism."
As he set off for his first visit to Washington on Saturday, Pakistan's new Prime Minister turned to the crowd gathered on the tarmac to issue a reminder. "This is our own fight. This is our own cause," he said of his country's faltering campaign against militancy. The message is unlikely to inspire many of the Pakistanis he leaves behind. Nor will it calm the anxieties that wait for him in the U.S.
In Pakistan, the visit is widely seen as important, and it has been heavily followed by the media. It will be the first time that the Bush Administration will welcome a civilian leader of the Pakistani government. "Until now, President Bush has only ever dealt with President [Pervez] Musharraf," says Masood. "Gilani will try and present himself as a democratic alternative and win support for the new dispensation. The United States has always preferred dictators over democrats, and a lot of that has to do with the geostrategic importance that Pakistan has."
The three-day visit, which includes meetings with Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, comes at a time of renewed frustration with Islamabad's efforts to tame al-Qaeda and the Taliban in its wild North-West Frontier Province. A sample of what Gilani may hear when he steps into the Oval Office on Monday was on offer earlier this week. In the latest of a flurry of warnings, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that "more needs to be done" to choke off the flow of militants across the border from Pakistan. "We understand that it's difficult, we understand that the North-West Frontier area is difficult, but militants cannot be allowed to organize there and to plan there and to engage across the border," she told reporters during a visit to Australia.
Much of this exasperation, echoed by Western diplomats in Islamabad, stems from the government's decision to negotiate a series of peace deals with the Pakistani Taliban in the rugged tribal areas and across swathes of the North-West Frontier Province. "It is clear that the deals have led to a rise in cross-border attacks," says a senior Western diplomat, echoing other critics, "and [those in Islamabad] just seem to be turning a blind eye to them."
By contrast, the Musharraf years held obvious appeal for Washington. As a man in control of both the army and the government, the former army chief wielded greater power, and when necessary, he could be counted on to resist public opinion. Gilani's struggling civilian government is deeply susceptible to public opinion, with recent polls consistently recording majorities hostile to the use of military force. A survey published by the International Republican Institute last week revealed that 71% supported the negotiations with militants, 61% urged "development and education" as a means of countering the threat and a mere 9% were in favor of the use of military force.
A few days after his awkward TV appearance, Gilani traveled to Peshawar, where he sought to enlist the support of tribal elders from South Waziristan, the mountainous base of Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud. "I ask you people to tell me how to deal with elements bent upon militancy," he pleaded, an elaborate turban on his head. The use of military force, he told them, will only be a last resort. Many fear that it may be resorted to only when it is too late.

This morning it was announced that James Mason, a product designer in the UK, was the winner of Develop3D Magazine's Make A Bot competition.
First among hundreds of entries, James used Geomagic Freeform from 3D Systems to create a robot design that incorporated 3D sculpting, 3D scanning, old parts from the real world, and 3D design. His own head, sculpted as a caricature by Simon Goodall, tops off the design with a bobble-head action.
Here's a bit about the design in James' own words after a quick email Q&A.
Can you describe the design?
The Design evokes a bit of fun and repurposing existing objects. To look at things you may have lying around, like old parts remaining from broken old toys and then morph and modify them into something new, also giving a nod to a certain modern day animated film.
What inspired you to come up with this particular design?
First thoughts of being free to design a robot lead me of think of all types of"cool-looking" Transformers and Ironman type super heroes. Quickly reeling myself back I chose to make up a brief around the amazing state of the CAD/CAM technology Industry today. Coupled with a big sense of fun and being mindful of the typical user of this prosumer technology. I put myself in the position of the youngsters and freeing up the possibilities of creating something more personal with the kids along the lines of our very own toy figure. The result? Our own animating self-assembly robot kit figure based on the ubiquitous Bobble Head dolls of the 70's.
Whose face is that on the robot?
The face is a caricature of yours truly, this was hand sculpted by an artist friend of mine, Simon Goodall. Well I say hand sculpted, it was using the Phantom Haptic device and the FreeForm Modeling system. Using FreeForm, Simon is able to make a real-time impression of me in a very brief sitting of just 15 minutes, utilizing his natural sculpting talents in a digital format.
Working in Freeform, what were the particular challenges you had to overcome to make this design?
Working in FreeForm allowed me access to engineering functions within an organic shape, for example I needed to know exactly where the center of gravity was for the head shape. Then create an accurate recess in the underside of the Head that would be in a precise position above that center of gravity location in order for the head to balance and"wobble" just like a bobble head should. FreeForm is also the only CAD tool I know of that can have all data types in one single modeling environment and work with least effort. Hence making this process in itself a true Hybrid, reflecting the design.
See the announcement in Develop3D magazine.
