Problems with Water Soluble Outliner/Gutta in Silk Painting
Recently I have had a problem with Pebeo's gold outliner (shown above) coming off at the final washing stage. I have noticed too that other silk painters are posting about it on the internet.
I have used this product for years without a problem. I usually iron fix a silk painting as soon as it is finished then wash it before ironing again and framing. However recently I finished a painting that had taken a long time to do and was not happy to see some of the carefully applied gold lines floating off in the water. This had not happened before. Usually it is the reverse, if a bit of the gold gets on clothing or the wrong part of the work, it is practically impossible to remove.
I rescued the work and reapplied the lines.
On Pebeo's website there is a PDF about the product. It says leave for 2 days after iron fixing before washing. As I have not had this problem before I can only guess that maybe the product has changed. It would be helpful if Pebeo printed this on the tube.
For many years I have used water based outliners ('gutta') for resist lines when painting on silk.
I have tried lots of different makes. I prefer them to spirit based gutta as they are odourless. The clear water based version can be removed with water whereas the spirit based one is removed by dry cleaning or solvent.
However the water based ones are not without other problems. They are more likely to leak especially when working very wet.
Sometimes there is a small gap in the gutta or the extra wetness starts to dissolve the line and allow colour to seep through.Often though it is just that the silk has become over saturated and over loaded so the colour spills over the line like when you try to carry an overfull teacup.
With some makes the metallic versions keep well in their tubes. Others don't they either become too thick and unusable or they separate in the tube so that when you come to use them a lot of clear liquid oozes out. They can't be stirred when in the tube, you can try massaging the tube with the lid on but this doesn't usually help much.
I had one tube of Javanna metallic glitter that oozed clear liquid from the first time I used it leaving the metallic bits behind. It never worked properly and was probably past it when I bought it.
On the other hand I found a tube of AV Vallejo black outliner which I bought about 25 years which is still working fine.
My recommendations
I am currently using Marabu contours and effects. Available from Silkcrafts
I have clear, gold, silver and a metallic glitter which has not separated. It is available in a squeezey bottle. The nozzle produces a fairly thick line so I attach a metal nib with a finer nozzle. The bottle is refillable from a larger container which makes it more economical.
Wax or solvent based gutta work best but both need an extra process to remove.
I don't use solvent based gutta because of the smell.
I like using beeswax. It flows easily from a tjanting or kiska to give delicate lines or can be brushed, sponged or stamped on. I bought it from the local bee keepers group. Or you can get batik wax online.
Other silk painters speak well of Resistad which is only available mail order from New Zealand. I have some but haven't tried it yet.

Hi Tessa. What is the reason for washing your picture if you are going to frame it? I have been just ironing mine and putting them on freezer paper before framing.

Hi Jo, good question,I wash them if any clear gutta was used as sometimes I use it in parts of the painting even when I use metallic gutta.

How Timbuk2 Leverages Its Goal To Drive Business And Neighborhood Progress
12/02/2019 | business development | No Comments
Too typically, I've encountered enterprise managers hiring Gross sales people and classifying them as Enterprise Developers. For that reason, it has been tough to discern the unique features of the enterprise improvement operate and whether or not these actions are a supply of earnings. Enterprise growth activities lengthen across totally different departments, together with sales, marketing, mission management, product administration and vendor administration.
Gross sales improvement roles can include enterprise improvement rep (BDR) or sales improvement rep (SDR) roles. Product Administration: Regulatory standards and market necessities range throughout countries. Enterprise growth entails all duties and processes regarding both the analytical preparation, monitoring and help of growth opportunities.
From the start of corporations through incubators and seed accelerators, to boosting growth for small and medium firms by means of second stage business accelerators, to advising company giants via administration consulting companies, enterprise growth constitute an vital factor any part of the company life cycle.
Job titles continually evolve based on the changing needs of companies. These companies and products aren't chiropractic providers however they're associated to well being and one thing that chiropractic patients could be focused on. For the reason that beginning, Timbuk2 has been dedicated to crafting durable, useful bags that suit the specific needs of every consumer.
This want was the first and pure expression of the corporate's purpose, city progress, and ever since Rob built the first iconic Timbuk2 messenger bag in his storage, the corporate has grown its enterprise, manufacturing amenities, retail footprint, and customized program, all whereas staying true to its core neighborhood of San Francisco.
A method or another, these establishments work together with firms on their progress journey and provide all kinds of resources to help them, including funding and bodily work areas (offices), professional support, recommendation and mentoring, instruments and frameworks, technique improvement and operations effectivity, and entry to important networks within the enterprise ecosystem.
Each business has its life cycle that it undergoes during the course of its complete existence. Figuring out alternatives to achieve new clients by getting into into new markets is one essential gateway to unlocking long-time period value.

Many firms have been weighed down by a nasty deal they later regretted — that is where you want to develop a degree of understanding and belief with your business development individual. It pervades your complete task of marketing communication and full knowledge of the product.
From the birth of concepts to early startups, to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who search second stage growth, and all they option to technique implementation for company giants, many establishments exist to assist firms in their business improvement efforts.
Driving gross sales is another operate where business development is often categorized. This is a perfect time for businesses to think about enlargement or diversification. Providers embody: job analysis, coaching needs assessment, pre-employment training, pre-manufacturing technical and crew-based mostly training.
How To Create An Effective Enterprise Growth Technique
The topics of Government Contracting and Enterprise Development are tied intently collectively; to be involved in Government Contracting, you will need to have interaction in energetic Business Improvement. While the time spent by the gross sales leads in the pursuit phase can happen over a 12 months previous to the solicitation difficulty date, RFP response dates usually range from 30 to 60 days. Timbuk2 is a chief example of a company that's maintained its model ethos whereas scaling its bottom line.
By following a core imaginative and prescient, purpose-built companies have an easier time cultivating client advocacy, fostering group and growing their company round one thing greater than their brand or business. For those who're the typical small business starting, growing and even simply surviving in a troublesome economic market with little or no credit, you additionally want enterprise development methods that do not eat up your cash movement.
What Is Business Development?
In the desk beneath a classification of enterprise growth institutions are plotted out, based on the assorted levels within the firm life cycle.
What is business growth? An excellent example of a brand founded on a purpose that is stayed true to its roots by way of progress and growth is Timbuk2 The San Francisco-primarily based bag maker was began in 1989 by bike messenger, Rob Honeycutt who needed to make the purposeful, utilitarian messenger bag accessible to all.

Enterprise Growth
Each enterprise has its life cycle that it undergoes through the course of its whole existence.

I wasn't that into the Olympics until the U.S. Men's speed skaters started blaming their poor performance on new space-age uniforms supplied by Under Armour.
Here's my take on the situation:
First, it got me wondering what kind of design flaw could seriously impair performance?
Only thing I could come up with that the the crotch is cut too high. Ouch. Otherwise, there would be more specifics revealed about the design gotcha.
More important, what moron — or team of morons — or moronic coach of a team of morons — decides to try a revolutionary new piece of equipment for the first time in the biggest competition of their lives.
C'mon man. You use the bat that you've been swinging all season, right?
I had to chuckle when the team performed worse when they changed back to there old speed-suits.
Maybe it's not the uniforms but what's in the uniforms.
With the new uniforms vindicated, the team started whining that they trained at high altitude and the low altitude ice in Sochi is mushier than they're used to.
C'mon man, again.
The Olympics venue has been known for what, a decade or more?
You train for night games by practicing under the lights, not on the surface of the sun.
Bottom line: I'm reminded of my high school football coach who regularly reminded us that excuses are for losers.
That said, next time I have a bad day, I'll just chalk it up to the cut of my Jos. A. Bank's trousers.
Might work …

Journal Article

Look inside Download PDF (free)
The aim of this study is to examine how job satisfaction influences the relationship between company performance, knowledge sharing, and organizational culture, perceived through the prism of Hofstede's cultural dimensions, controlled by company size and staff position. A survey of 910 Polish employees (mainly knowledge workers) with different roles and experiences across different industries was conducted. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings prove that job satisfaction is a strong mediator for company culture dimensions and knowledge sharing by the high skilled employee. The influence of masculinity, long‑term perspective, and collectivism on knowledge sharing are fully mediated by job satisfaction. Uncertainty avoidance and power distance are partially mediated. The relationship between job satisfaction and company performance is complementarily mediated by knowledge sharing. For optimum company performance, it is important to create a company culture that, first, increases job satisfaction and, second, enhances knowledge sharing. Job satisfaction of knowledge workers in Poland is influenced by low power distance, teamwork, and long‑term perspective, and clear rules, strength, and a dominant and assertive male style of management lead to knowledge sharing. The main value of this study is the complete picture it provides of the mediation function of job satisfaction for company culture and knowledge sharing and performance based on a multi‑sector sample.
Keywords: Job satisfaction, knowledge sharing, organizational culture, company performance, Hofstede's cultural dimensions, structural equation modeling, knowledge management, knowledge workers

June 18th, 2007
Red Sox 9, San Fran 5:
And that would be a sweep….
3-3 on a 6 game home stand, with the 6th series sweep of this season. Not the best, by and stretch–but better than a losing record…and I could have done without the Barry Bonds home-run–and people thing Manny does too much stylin? And what about that snarky comment of his? "I believe I had two, but we'll leave it at one…" commenting on the controversial foul ball from Friday. Is there a poorer sport in all of baseball? I cannot even tell you how glad I am he is gone…he is the worst thing for the game…and yet there were tons of "Bonds" jerseys in the stands over the weekend. Why on earth would someone wear the jersey of a cheater, and a thoroughly crappy human being?
While Tim Wakefield was not at his sharpest, going 5 2/3, giving up 5 runs on 8 hits (including 2 homers), while walking 1 and striking out 3, he was good enough on a day where practically the whole lineup contributed to the offense, with everyone in the starting nine getting a hit, except for Wily Mo and Julio Lugo (what a shocker there…)
"I don't do interleague play.": Brendan Donnelly's ready answer every time he was asked about his being placed on the DL, retroactively to June 11th. Eventually he relented and mentioned the tightness he experienced in his forearm when starting his warm-ups during Friday night's game. On Saturday, the MRI showed swelling in the muscle, so team doctors recommended placing him on the DL, and since he hadn't pitched in nearly a week, his DL stint is retroactive to June 11, which means he can be reactivated early next week. Manny Delcarmen was called up from Pawtucket to replace Donnelly in the bullpen…
Of course, the Mets could not get it done, and get a win in last night's game against the Skanks…but as I have said before–the Skanks can win all they want–as long as the Sox continue to win, life is good…although…a couple more (like, say, TWENTY) games between them and the Sox would not be unwelcome…
Tonight: The Sox head to Atlanta to begin the final 6 games of their interleague play for the 2007 campaign, beginning with 3 against the Braves and then 3 with the Padres. Curt Schilling takes the mound this evening, opposed by Chuck James. First pitch is 7:05 pm–I wonder which Curt Schilling we will get this time?

Introduction: Coffee Command Center
I live in a tiny apartment with a tiny kitchen. But man do I love coffee. I love having my coffee machine out and plugged in and ready to go at a moment's notice. I love having my ground coffee right next to my coffee machine so I don't have to think too hard in the morning when I brew my (first) pot. I also like having a place where I can jot down ideas, to-do lists, or grocery lists right near the coffee pot so that I can write things down while I'm waiting for my pot to brew. With so little space, it was really difficult to get this put together, but there happened to be a completely unusable space right next to the end of my kitchen counter...and it turns out a lot of people have a similar unusable space!
What you'll need:
- a side or end table of your choosing
- a coffee machine
- a cool tray (I collect old Graniteware and this was a great place to display some of my favorite pieces)
- a small bucket or pencil cup
- a notebook
- several extra placemats
- an empty 2-lb. coffee can
- an empty 16 oz. coffee can
- a coffee scoop
- coffee filters to fit your machine
- coffee (duh)
- a small bowl or something to put your rings/watch in when you cook (I used a little finger pot my kid made at school)
- any other coffee or tea-related items that you want to have nearby - I also have Earl Gray tea bags, a bag of loose leaf tea from a specialty shop, a tea steeping mechanism, and a can of Pumpkin Spice coffee from Trader Joe's
- Optional: coffee-related artwork
- Optional: clock
- Optional (not pictured): a mail sorter for the wall above your command center
The first thing you'll do is position your table near the kitchen and close enough to an outlet that your coffee machine cord will reach. If it doesn't reach, you'll need to get an extension cord or a power strip to accommodate that.
I like to use spare placemats underneath the coffee machine and other things. It ties it all together and also keeps the placemats handy for when I have guests.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Command Center
This part is pretty simple - get an assortment of pens, pencils, and other things you find handy to keep around (scissors, lighters, keychains, etc.) and put them in a pretty bucket or cup holder. Slide your notebook against the wall behind the bucket so it's available but not in the way.
Step 2: The Coffee Station
This is my favorite part: the place where the coffee is!
First, take your large coffee can and clean it out and dry it well (set it out to dry overnight, it's HARD to dry these things with a towel). Then simply cover it with pretty paper, fabric, or paint it...or just leave it as it is, if you like the label that's on it already. Take out a small stack of coffee filters and tuck it into the bottom of the coffee can.
Now take your smaller empty can, clean it and dry it the same way as above, and fill it with the coffee of your choice. I usually buy giant bags of coffee from Costco and just stash the extra in the bottom of the pantry until I need to refill my small coffee can. Cram your scoop in there so that the lid will close.
Slip that smaller coffee can into the larger coffee can, on top of the coffee filters. If the lid for the larger can won't close, take out some of the filters and try again.
Now place the large coffee can inside your tray and arrange some tea bags around it in an attractive fashion. Place other items around it that appeal to you - I don't always drink Pumpkin Spice Coffee from Trader Joe's, but I like the way the can looks so I leave it there. I have another tiny Graniteware bucket that is the perfect size for my loose-tea infuser. And I have a bag of nice loose leaf tea from a local place that I love.
This basically leads to a total no-brainer routine in the morning: your coffee and filters aren't stashed away in some weird place or in a cabinet or something, and you don't have to think too hard about it. Just open the big can, take out the small can, remove a filter, add a few scoops of coffee, and put it all back together. It takes about thirty seconds.
Step 3: Your Coffee Machine
The coffee machine should be on top of a plastic placemat, or some other surface you don't mind getting wet (because it probably will get a little wet underneath it). Make sure it's placed in such a way that you can easily reach all of the components.
Clean your coffee machine regularly! You'd be shocked how much better your coffee will taste after you've run a cleaning agent (buy one specifically for coffee machines or use vinegar followed by several water-only brew cycles) through it.
Hang some artwork and a clock and you're good to go! You now have most of what you need to start your day in one small area, and you're not even eating up any counter space with it. Way to go, you!

Love it. Can you post a picture where you step back and let us see the whole set up? I am interested in seeing the bottom and how it fits next to the cabinet. Do you use a table that folds down, or a flat with no fold?
I like your coffee can storage container, the paper you picked out is really pretty. I have my coffee stuff in a large wooden bowl (kind of like a fruit bowl) and it looks a little junky! :(

Fans of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth [Official Site, Steam], don't spend all your money during the Steam Winter Sale. Next week, one day after the Steam sale has ended, Isaac's "Afterbirth+" expansion will be released. Some of the new features in this second expansion, set to arrive on January 3rd, are:
- "greedier" mode, (This is probably Hard mode for Greed.)
- 62 achievements,
- 5 achievement challenges,
- 2 transformations,
- 60+ items, 20+ trinkets, 10+ pickups,
- 1 player character, (Apollyon?)
- 1 final chapter, 1 boss,
- 200+ rooms,
- 4+ bosses, 5+ enemies/champions,
- victory lap feature, (Continue when finished; info.)
- "bestiary" (A page that tracks your kills.)
Also, it may feature daily runs for Greed mode.
It'll be $9.99 but during the first week of release, players who own "Afterbirth" can buy "Afterbirth+" for $6.66.
Unfortunately, one of the expansion's features will not be available on Linux. In a FAQ post, Nicalis founder Tyrone Rodriguez stated that "mod support tools will only be for Windows". This means that Linux players will not be able to craft their own rooms and enemies. The good news is that playing such mods should work fine on Linux.
How many Isaac achievements do you have?
Are you looking forward to this new "Afterbirth+" expansion? Personally, I can't wait to play it.
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:

Chipper Jones says he thinks he injured himself while running out of the batter's box. For a baseball player, this seems like a pretty innocuous place to injure themselves. How exactly do you get injured coming out of a batter's box? Swing, turn, run. A layperson (you and I) does not come out of a batter's box, but a similarly innocuous place might be, say, a bathroom. So imagine a buddy told you he hurt himself taking a crap. Previous week, he strained something showering. Couple of weeks ago, while putting unicorn jizz (that's what I call toothpaste) on his toothbrush, he pulled a metacarpal. Previously, he's broke a toe changing the TP, popped an eardrum Q-Tipping, sliced off a piece of nose while shaving, got a hernia while toweling off and he got a Grade 3 windburn from a blow dryer. Would you think your friend was a good bet to stay healthy until October? Yeah, me neither. As for Wainwright, this strikes me as really bad luck for his owners (which is me for many teams). He says that he should be fine and there's no official word. I doubt official word is at all positive. Brace yourself for different options. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday:
Matt Garza/Dioner Navarro – Had a scuffle in the dugout yesterday, causing Garza to get pulled early. Going forward this is a problem for one of my teams because I have both guys. Here's my plan of action, I'm going to sit Navarro whenever Garza pitches, but in the meantime I'm going to have my corner infielder, Helton, talk to both of them about the importance of the Lord, charity and all of that. Then I'm going to bring Keith Foulke in to talk to both guys because– Wait, this is fantasy baseball, not real. Oh, yeah, then Dioner and Garza will be fine.
Kyle Lohse – 7-2. The "h" in his name is like a precarious Jenga piece. At some point it will be pulled out, his success will collapse, and all he'll do for your team is Lose.
Kevin Slowey – 8 ER in 3 IP. Another outing like that and he's on the short bus back to AAA.
Aaron Harang – I'm trying not to blame that long relief outing still, but…. Ugh. He's an excellent buy low candidate right now. He is better than his numbers.
Alexei Ramirez – 3-for-4 with a home run. The Alex(e)i with the 'e' is showing the Alexi without the 'e' they're only similar in almost names.
Mark Reynolds – Now 6 home runs in 15 games. If you remember from the beginning of the season, Reynolds is what you call streaky.
Nick Swisher – Getting hot. If he's on your waivers, he's absolutely worth a pickup. He's valuable when he's hot.
Jason Giambi – 14th home run. Much like Ron Jeremy, Giambi sports a 'stache, swings a big bat, and appears out of shape and over the hill.
Luke Scott – From the files of abandoned outfielders that never produced, here comes another streaky hitter. Hit two home runs yesterday. Might hit three more in the next week. Cust kayin'.
Gavin Floyd – He has a 20/1 K/BB ratio in his last three starts. And his first name is Gavin. What's not to like?
Wandy Rodriguez – Lost to the Cards, but his line doesn't look awful. Only allowed four hits and no earned runs. 7 Ks.
Mark Teixeira – PABST has five HRs in the last 11 games. Might have officially turned the corner into a full season stud or FABST? Um… Not sure about this one anymore.
Justin Masterson – That's it. You got what you got. I wouldn't start him in his next start.
Curtis Granderson – I was happy to see Granderson hit a HR, but I was even happier to see him bat ninth. That makes a lot more sense than Miggy in the sixth hole.
Ryan Tucker – Must Die. I'd bid maybe a $1 in NL-Only leagues, but that's about it.
BJ Upton – Two home runs in three days. Maybe this is when the power streak comes on. Then again, it was in Texas and Ramon Vazquez is hitting in Texas.
Vernon Wells – Not only came back early from a wrist injury, but hit a home run yesterday. I'd try and sell him quickfast.
Jose Guillen – Just in case you missed it, he hit 3 HR and 9 RBI over the weekend at Yankee Stadium. That's now 9 HR and 45 RBI for the year (albeit with 25 R and .262 AVG). Between this and Milton Bradley's triple crown run, 2008 is shaping up as the year of the crazy. Jose had a incredibly silent 23/99/.290 last year in Seattle after some troubles in Washington, but he's worth taking a flier on if he's hanging around on the FA wire. BTW, how incredibly dull is Carlos Guillen in comparison to Jose and Ozzie Guillen? Jose and Ozzie Canseco were pretty nutty too.

Ecosia Search Engine Raises $330,000+ For Amazon Rainforest
Image: Screenshot, Ecosia.org
Green search engine Ecosia was already making waves at its first birthday, by which point it had contributed $160,000 to WWF's Jureuena rainforest project in Brazil. Now, six months later, the search engine (which is powered by Bing) has raised $334,202.63 for the rainforest, and that number keeps climbing.The Guardian, which calls Ecosia a "mask" for Microsoft's Bing search engine, reports that 80% of the revenue from search advertising goes directly to WWF, which runs the Tumucumaque rainforest project in northern Brazil—home to about 54% of all bird species in the Amazon and the last major unpolluted water reserves in the Neotropics (containing about 20% of all the Earth's water), according to Ecosia.
The Guardian also says that Berlin-based Ecosia reports an estimated 700,000 searches a day, offsets the emissions from each search, and runs its own servers on green energy.

It's been quite a long time since Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus called off their engagement (nope, still not OK with it), but Hemmo has yet to comment on the break up publicly. Until now. Sort of.
Yep, Liam has apparently broken his silence over his split from the "Bangerz" singer —and by that, we mean he was allegedlly heard discussing Miley while on vacay with friends in Italy.
According to the New York Post, a source claims to have overheard our future husband Liam having a chat about his ex-fiancee while dining with pals, and the "poweful connection" he once shared with her.
Apparently he also said that the two of them will "always be best friends," with the source adding: "Liam kept raving about how amazing she was, how much they clicked and understood everything about each other."
While Liam has remained tight-lipped (hate that expression, don't know why we just used it) over the whole thang, Miley hasn't been quite so reserved, repeatedly talking about her ex in interviews and implying that all sorts of song lyrics are about him.
Are you still waiting for Liam and Miley to reunite? Let us know in the comments!

The Tuterians were a spacefaring humanoid species from the Delta Quadrant. It is known that they had close ties with the Krenim Imperium for several years, which were still standing in the early 25th century. During the 2390s, the Borg threatened the Tuterian homeworld. To prevent themselves from being assimilated, the Tuterians used modified Solanae technology, successfully saving their home planet.
During the Vaadwaur Supremacy's attack on the Krenim Imperium, at least one Tuterian was on Kyana Prime when the Krenim used temporal technology to hide their cities by taking them out of the timestream.
When the Iconian Resistance used the Krenim temporal weapon ship to prevent the USS Yamato from discovering Iconia, it ended up creating a timeline where the Borg discovered the Tuterians and assimilated them, granting them superior tech used to invade and assimilate Romulus. In desperation, Captain Nog used the weapon ship to attack a Borg transwarp gate to fix the timeline, however, in doing so caused the timeline to change where the Tuterians were, instead, seemingly assimilated by the Borg before they could master the use of Solanae tech to defend themselves. (STO mission: "Butterfly")
However, a Krenim known as Noye discovered that the Tuterians had survived, escaping into another plane of existence that they can't escape out of, becoming the Sphere Builders. (STO mission: "Time and Tide")

Viseu will have the largest venue in central Portugal. Why? What for?
Creating Viseu Arena is much more than - or is not at all - a hardware project.
Creating in Viseu the largest theatre of Centro de Portugal region is part of a strategy. A regional development strategy or, in other words, the creation of a cultural and tourist brand of excellence. In this sense, we are talking more about software or brainware.
This infrastructure is a condition of context, an instrument, not an end in itself. Furthermore, in this case it is a requalification, restyling and technical upgrade of a pre-existing infrastructure: the city's multipurpose pavilion, built in 2003.
This is all the more important, however, as it fills a regional gap: in the centre of the country there is no large, licensed, multi-purpose showroom for more than 1000 people. On the other hand, Viseu is today experiencing a cultural growth and a rediscovery of tourism that is not compatible with the lack of this type of equipment.
The project is therefore not driven by a building obsession. What moves this partnership between the Municipality, Viseu Marca (the city's territorial marketing association) and the Arena society, are objectives of cultural decentralisation in the country, including Viseu in the national and Iberian itinerary of shows offer, strengthening the tourist attractiveness of the city-region and promotion of creative and cultural industries.
The project also values and takes advantage of Viseu's strategic location in the country and the Peninsula and its connectivity network, its relevant demographic dimension, its historical and heritage status, as well as its human, creative and artistic ecosystem.
In fact, Viseu is today a historical city with 2500 years, previous to the very founding of the Portuguese nationality, and the most important Interior county in the country (or outside the Braga – Setúbal route), with 100 thousand inhabitants. It is also a reference in its standard of quality of life, bearing the"Best City to Live" seal. In addition, it has a stock of extraordinary heritage, rural and natural resources, and very promising entrepreneurial, creative and cultural skills.
Finally, the city's geographical centrality, its proximity to Porto and its privileged connections, less than an hour or two away, from a constellation of cities like Aveiro, Guarda, Lamego, Vila Real, Chaves, Coimbra, Leiria, Fatima, but also Salamanca and Ciudad Rodrigo, make Viseu a destination with a potential attraction for a target population of well over five million inhabitants and tourists.
It is in this context of opportunity - highlighted by the evident saturation of the main national tourist destinations - that "Viseu Arena" project arises, conceived by a new generation mayor, Almeida Henriques, the current mayor of Viseu.
With its opening scheduled for the end of 2018, this will be the largest theatre and multipurpose venue in the centre of Portugal, with a capacity of over 5500 people and an arena of 2500 square metres. Compared to initial estimates, the room's capacity for a standing audience increases by more than 1,500 seats.
In architect Moisés Rosa (Arena Atlântico team member)'s reconversion and requalification project, it was tried to safeguard the equipment's flexibility for all types and scales of events - that is, a truly multipurpose vocation, as well as a high quality in hospitality and public comfort, acoustics, aesthetics, functionality and safety. The economic sustainability of the project and its superior quality are seen as mandatory for its success.
The crucial involvement of Sociedade Arena Atlântico, with a high level of management and operation with this type of equipment know-how, also contributes to this strategy of sustainability. Its participation is focused not only on the venue's requalification project, but also on the design of the business model and support to Viseu Marca (the future local manager) in the marketing strategy and future commercial promotion.
Some of the new features include screens and a light curtain on the building's facade, promoting a dialogue with the city, the creation of new public areas (a suspended tribune, 14 cabins and 680 premium seats), 5 bars and a panoramic lounge over the city oriented for catering and premium events.
Putting aside a certain typical Portuguese modesty, I have no doubt that Viseu is now becoming a very interesting case study regarding sustainable cultural tourism and territorial marketing. A marketing and tourism strategy that, aimed at attracting audiences, visitors and activities, chooses the community itself and its identity as the main differentiation factor.
In this strategy the powerful combination of attributes, experiences and city imaginary stand out - diverse, but well positioned.
In this mix, there are simultaneously the "city of Viriato" and its strong material and immaterial patrimonial charm, the "garden city" that simultaneously expresses urban aesthetic and ethics, the "wine town" of Dão, the secular São Mateus Fair (which consolidated its revitalisation in 2017) and an almost non stop calendar of diversified cultural offer.
The thread that unites this multidimensionality is a real promise of happiness. Today we know that you do not have to go far to have an unforgettable experience.

Two people accused of assaulting a young woman and dumping her along a South County freeway were ordered held without bail pending an arraignment next week.
Cathy McCoy, 47, and Christopher Carrera, 32 knew the woman found naked, slashed and badly bruised along State Route 125 on Aug. 18
Defense attorneys wouldn't comment on the nature of the relationship or how things escalated to these circumstances.
The woman told police she was abducted in an SUV while approaching a house in City Heights
At an arraignment Wednesday, prosecutors dropped attempted murder charges against McCoy and Carrera.
While the DA's office isn't commenting on why they're not prosecuting attempted murder counts, investigators say the victim's life was in serious jeopardy after a brutal attack that ended with her being kicked, punched and dragged down a freeway embankment
The pair still faces charges ranging from kidnapping, sexual assault and assault with a deadly weapon and intimidation.
"They know that they're looking at a lot of time. I mean, it's a very serious case," said McCoy's co-counsel Kerry Armstrong.
McCoy has an undisclosed disability and although she knows her co-defendant, her lawyers say they are not involved in a relationship.
"Our understanding at this point is that they are acquaintances. There is no intimate relationship that has been alleged or will ever be alleged," said David Shapiro, McCoy's co-counsel. My understanding is, they are just friends."
The defendants agreed to stay in custody, without bail, to work out unspecified issues with their lawyers.
They're scheduled to enter pleas to the charges on Monday.
A protective order was issued, barring them or any associates from trying to contact the victim.
They face 25-years to life behind bars if convicted.

An extremely unique photography session for children, this one took place at the public library! It was a slight challenge for me but provided very unique perspectives and angles to play with, as well as tons of symmetrical frames and repetitive bookshelves. We had a great time reading, exploring and just having fun.

How far would you go for love? How about all the way from Lockhart, Texas?!
That's what Tom and Sandra Thornell did once they got one look at this beautiful Basset Hound named Lacey. Lacey (now Alexandria) came to Animal Care Services in terrible shape — she was living on the streets with a badly broken leg and was hungry and alone.
Her injuries and the sheer number of dogs coming into the shelter left her in real danger of being euthanized.
An ACS foster noticed her sweet temperament and after some top-notch medical care, Alexandria spent some time healing.
Knowing those big brown eyes would be hard to resist, she was one of the first shelter dogs featured on MySA.com's new pet page. That's where the Thornells come in.
After spotting her on MySA.com, Mrs. Thornell arranged to drive down to the shelter across from the Zoo. Needless to say, it was love at first sight.
Alexandria was adopted on the spot and spends her days playing with her "brother" Basset, Hannibal.
So many other animals at ACS are waiting for their happy endings. Please adopt or foster a pet from Animal Care Services. Call 207-6650 for more information or come by the Adoption Center Monday through Saturday. Have a heart and save a life

This is a game that was designed to be a much more casual version of Tap Happy. It is a simple bubble popping game, but one in which the proper color must be popped. Beyond this, it has weapons which pop everything.
Bombs will literally destroy everything on screen, while a bow and arrow must be timed to shoot what you want to. Shuriken can be flung, and the pinwheel will blow all of the bubbles back to the bottom. Beyond this, spike balls can be dropped to destroy any bubble that dares to touch them.
In addition, this game utilizes Scoreloop in order to maintain a global high score board, as well as add social features, challenges, and the ability to support the game through getting extra backgrounds and music.

Is Amazon Ready to Break Out Again?
By Dr. Duru written for One-Twenty
May 21, 2007
The internet sector is ablaze again with excitement. Mega-deals, big dreams, and large prospects abound again. While Google's stock has not benefited from the recent surge in excitement, many other internet-related stocks have had a lot of fun. The one stock that amazes me the most is Amazon (AMZN) (see disclaimer here).
I have long been a skeptic of Amazon. I love the business, but not the stock. I shop at Amazon all the time. But it seemed to me that AMZN rarely produced "real" profits, and given the constant discounting, free shipping deals, and intense retail competition, I could not see a way for Amazon to reach sustainable profitability, much less grow profits. Well, after declining for nearly three years from 2003 to 2006, AMZN's stock has turned into a rocket as earnings have regained some positive momentum. Back in late April, AMZN beat earnings estimates and bumped revenue guidance upwards ever so slightly. This was enough for a 27% one-day gain, and the stock has not looked back since.
There are plenty of reasons you might not want to trust this move. For example, forward P/E equals 51 and price/book equals 73. The move also smacks of short-covering. Shorts were 15% of AMZN's float before earnings were reported. Despite these warning signs, I cannot help but relax the "hating" for a bit longer and appreciate the potential for another break-out for the stock. What has caught my eye in particular is that while the stock has churned for three weeks, OBV has steadily increased. This suggests that traders and investors continue to accumulate the stock. And if this is indeed the case, the sellers are slowly but surely drying up, and the stock is destined for another leg up - more pain for the shorts.
The second chart shows that AMZN is, incredibly, reaching now for levels last seen when the dot-com bubble first burst. Amazon last saw current levels in April, 2000. AMZN has finally climbed back above its 2003 high. It peaked in December, 1999 at a closing high of $112. So, it is still a long way off from new all-time highs. But if the S&P and the NASDAQ continue creeping higher, we can only assume AMZN will continue to benefit.
Be careful out there!

The revolver 30mm needs rebalancing for the following reasons:
1. everything flies faster in t9-10, and that coupled with the bad
trajectory & shell velocity makes it even harder for 30mm to hit;
2. The 30mm still overheats very quickly, and the damage has not
changed much. If revolver 20mm has the advantage of accuracy and
good shell velocity, then revolver 30mm must have something in order
to compensate(explosiveness & higher DPM);
3. Both Britsh(ADEN) and German (MG213(30)) worked fine in 1.9 thanks
to the aiming reticles, but they are very esoteric to use in 2.0 as aiming of
large calibres become particularly difficult: you need to get close enough and,
take a huge lead in order to hit.
4. 30mm VS 20mm has been a constant competition, and different players will
choose different calibres based on his/her personal favor. 30mm at least, needs
to be as strong as 20mm to be qualified for the choice. Historically the 30mm has
almost equal fire rate as 20mm revolver cannon.
Personally I would suggest double the fire rate of revolver 30mm: revolver 30mm does
shoot faster than traditional 20mm such as HS. 404, but can be a bit slower than revolver
20mm. The german tier 10 ground attacker would also rely on its 4 nose-mounted 30mm
to do effective damage to ground targets. The german and british t10 heavy, could utilize the
massive explosiveness of their 30mm and Swift could be a terror for other light fighters attempting
to head on.

Draymond Green's suspension in Game 5 of the NBA Finals was, in many ways, a turning point.
Facing the Golden State Warriors without perhaps the Warriors' most important player, the Cleveland Cavaliers won a huge Game 5 on the road, took care of business at home in Game 6, then won Game 7 in Oakland to win the championship. In the process, they became the first team to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals.
The turn of events left some to wonder how differently the series might have ended, and how the NBA might look today, if Green had not been suspended.
So, for Green, although the NBA season is young, he still has revenge somewhere in the back of his mind. Green told NBA.com's David Aldridge that while the Warriors' first goal is to win the Western Conference, if they were to meet the Cavs again in the Finals, he has a big goal.
"That's got to be our only focus, to win the Western Conference," Green said. "And then, if Cleveland comes out of the east, I want to destroy Cleveland. No ifs, ands and buts about it. But I also know that there's steps to get to that point. And if and when we get to that point, I want to annihilate them."
Green then reiterated his point, saying:
"I want to completely destroy them. No ifs, ands or buts about it. That won't change. I'm not saying we're going to look forward to that. Like I said, there's a long road ahead. And it'll be a tough, tough road to get there. Nonetheless, if we get there, and they get there, I want to destroy them. Really ain't no other way to put it."
This is not a particularly revelatory admission by Green — professional athletes feel this way about all of their opponents — but his candor on the subject is rare. Players don't always come out and admit they want to beat their opponents, let alone "annihilate" and "completely destroy" them.
While Green admits there is a long road ahead, in a season many people feel will come down to a Finals rematch (for the second straight year), the budding rivalry between the Warriors and Cavs will be a story to watch.

Case Study - O'Tooles Health and Fitness
O'Tooles, Newcastle, is a health and fitness gym, combining boxing and bodybuilding. The gym is for dedicated, hardcore individuals who demand intense physical training.
With traditional gyms in a downward trend, due to those opting to work out at home, the success of O'Tooles Gym is in creating an environment and experience that is not possible to achieve in a home gym.
O'Tooles has positioned itself as the place to go for those hardcore gym-goers who need regular, intense workouts. Their vision was to create the ultimate professional atmosphere that could not be replicated at home.
A range of xcite LED fittings were installed throughout O'Tooles, to provide customers with a unique gym experience.
The new lighting system was bright and welcoming for new members, as well as creating a comfortable environment for existing gym-goers.
By replacing old fluorescent fittings that emit large amounts of heat with xcite LED luminaires which give off significantly less heat, this drop in ambient temperature becomes much more noticeable for gym-goers during particularly intense workouts. In the boxing ring it is imperative that light is even and low glare, to improve peripheral vision and help maintain focus while sparring.

xcite products can be bought over the counter at your local CEF Store, or ordered for next day delivery via CEF Online. To get more information on where to buy, contact your local CEF store.

1. What led to your interest in a career in medicine? Who or what inspired you?
A friend of mine passed away from cancer during our senior year of high school. Throughout his long battle, I was exposed to so many different aspects of medicine, from diagnosis to treatment to palliative care. From that point on, I have been interested in oncology, specifically pharmacology research. I loved my work in drug discovery, but I realized in order to feel fulfilled, I needed to make more of an impact on peoples' lives. After shadowing doctors and seeing the hospital from a different perspective, I knew I wanted to become a physician.
2. How did you prepare yourself for medical school? The application process?
I feel that the most important preparation I did for the application process was self-reflection. Since I didn't apply immediately from undergrad and spent a few years working, I was fortunate to be in a position where I didn't need to rush the process; I had time to sit back and really think about the person I am, why I was so determined to become a physician, and how all of the pieces of my life fit together. I ended up with an interesting and honest personal story. I think that when you're eager to share your story with people, the answers to questions within the applications and interviews aren't only easier, but more genuine. Just figure out your story, own it, and be excited to tell others about it!
3. What undergraduate experiences were most instrumental to your success?
My involvement with Colleges against Cancer, The Hope Lodge, and Relay for Life was invaluable to me as an applicant and as a person. I was given the opportunity to interact with patients, educate my peers, advocate for cancer related legislation, and fundraise for research. The common denominator between these activities was gaining experience in talking to people from different walks of life. It may sound trivial, but to get through the application process and to become the physician I want to be, being comfortable talking to anyone is really important. I learned so much just from interacting with people involved in these groups, from patients to caregivers to policy makers. My undergraduate research experience in Penny Beuning's DNA Repair Lab was also an instrumental experience, because I was introduced early to scientific thought, research, and problem solving.
4. What obstacles or hurdles did you overcome in your medical school journey?
The application process can be time-consuming, especially when traveling for interviews. I was fortunate to have a compassionate and understanding boss who let me take off time to finish up application materials and go to interviews. This could have been a serious issue if my employers weren't so understanding of my future goals.
5. Did you matriculate directly to medical school or did you have a gap year?
I graduated from college two and a half years before beginning medical school.
6. If you did not matriculate directly, what did you do during your gap year(s) and how valuable were those experiences?
For my final co-op, I worked with Ensemble Therapeutics researching small molecule inhibition of disease related protein-protein interactions. They allowed me to work part-time during my last semester of classes at Northeastern, and hired me as a full time research associate when I graduated. Working with such intelligent, accomplished scientists for over three years was incredible. They taught me so much about disease pathways and pharmacology. Beyond that, they helped bolster my self-confidence as a capable scientist. The responsibilities I held over specific projects and their respective target proteins forced me to better my organization and communication skills. Looking back, I am grateful I took this time away from school to mature and grow.
7. What advice do you have for new applicants considering a career in medicine?
If you are interested in becoming a physician, don't immediately become intimidated by the process and shy away. I almost made that mistake. But if you do plan on embarking on the journey, make sure you are aware of the commitment you're making, and be sure you want it for the right reasons. If you don't have much clinical experience (like myself!), find a way to spend time with doctors. I had an email template requesting to shadow, and sent it to any physician working in Boston that I thought seemed interesting. The vast majority didn't respond, but a few did, and that was all I needed.
Also, become your own personal advocate. Be certain that your application is free of errors, you follow stated rules and you respect deadlines. Don't give the admission committees reason to disregard you! If you believe that you deserve to attend medical school and become a physician, be ready and willing to fight for a spot. I think reasonable confidence and a true sense of self are crucial to success in this process.
