Some people think that farmers are hick and uneducated but let me tell you they are anything but. Farmers need to be well versed and competent in many areas. They are managing multi million dollar enterprises and they need to be very switched on or they will rapidly go down the gurgler.
Modern farmers need to be skilled in animal husbandry and animal health, soil health and plant and weed species, budgeting, mechanics, fencing, and be competent with computer data entry, farm mapping and recording.
To be efficient and profitable in the modern world they have to be able to embrace new technologies and apply them in their business operation. With biosecurity becoming a major issue modern farmers need to be well versed in disease management and pest and weed control measures. This requires regular monitoring and recording of whats is happening on the ground.
Farms are getting bigger in area and the numbers of livestock are increasing as the farm has had to be more productive and efficient. With an ever increasing world population the demand for food and other primary products such as wool and cotton will continue to increase To keep up with this ever increasing demand farmers need to employ more efficient and cost effective means of monitoring their day to day operation. .
Maintaining fences and eradicating weeds are essential tasks that need to be kept up on every farm. There are hundreds of kilometers of fencing which need to be checked to maintain stock security and hundreds of acres of pasture that if infested with weeds will not produce nutritous feed for the animals.
Modern technology has come to the rescue with the innovative use of drones which can almost replace a labour unit in keeping up with the monitoring of fences and pasture. They can also be used to move stock when the feed available in the current paddock is consumed and fresh feed is required. They can ensure there is adequate water supply for the animals and detect any sick or injured animals .all without the farmer needing to leave his home and in much less time.
Drones will rapidly be taken up as a necessary piece of equipment on every viable and efficient farm. The use of drone technology can save the modern farmer many hours of time spent physically inspecting fences , pasture and livestock and he can use the information beaming back to his office computer to prioritise his work program for each day.
Drone technology is being used not just for monitoring but also for spraying crops to eradicate pests or weeds and has proven to be very effective as.they can maintain an even distance above the crop to ensure an even distribution of the spray which in itself is often very expensive.. They can also work over difficult or uneven terrain thus eliminating the need to work dangerous areas on a quad bike or tractor. This is another big plus as farm accidents have been a major concern over the past 20 years as farmers have endeavoured to do all these tasks themselves travelling around on a quad bike.
My husband and I and our son have all had serious quad bike accidents which meant a lot of lost time in hospital and time away from the business,without the cost of on going medical care and rehabilitation.
In the coming years you will see more and more farmers sending drones out over their farms , they are ready to and already are embracing this relatively new technology with gusto and enthusiasm.

A couple months ago, a dear artistic friend, Tina Walker, posed this collab. Several very talented ladies signed up………………including me!!! What fun!!!!! Now the planning stage………..hmmm, what to do? Where do I start?? I have never tried to weave let alone finish a project!!!!!
Fast forward to the end of March………………I am in need of a loom or something like it. Our little town of Ashfield has a group called Needles and Threads. Out went a call for some help………………….I HAVE NEVER WEAVED BEFORE!!! Before long, a wonderful lady offered her loom and a few hints. I took her up on the offer. Picking up a Bekka table top loom, I was astonished that it was in pieces….Oh NO, now what? Fortunately, the directions were in the bag………..off I set to put it together. DONE! I read the instructions to get a idea of how to weave. I proceeded to get started. Weaving is a challenge! It took me three weeks to finish weaving my banner. I tore it apart two times as I did not like the way it was going together. I learned tons along the way!!! Like……..the warp yarn(up and down) needs to be thicker and stronger. It started to pull apart after I got halfway done. I had to splice it together several times. I also need to remember needle felting pulls the warf(yarn going sideways) tight making my piece look like it pulled together towards the top.
Thinking I will weave again but make my own loom.
Here is my finished weaving project complete with a needle felted sheep's head. Another first for me! You know, I could not leave a blank space open…………..LOL!!!!
Here is a list of materials I used(including photos): Rug needle, needle felting kit, wool yarn from our sheep and bought( the grey, burgundy and brown wool is from our sheep and the unscoured cream wool is bought), twig, metal heart conchos, antiqueed metal chain and roving from our sheep(grey, white, brown, dark yellow and black).
The woolen yarn:
The needle felting kit:
The wool Roving:
Weaving the different colored warfs with the rug needle…….just going back and forth. From right to left, I weaved through the warp. Then from left to right, I pulled the needle straight through. So, it is like over and under……..back and forth. I stopped and started colors by intertwining the colors together.
A shed stick helps separate the warp. You also use a shed stick to push the warf yarns together so there is no gaps.
Now, on to needle felting the sheep head. This is from a photo of a ewe we owned. She helped build our flock into what it is today!!! I copied the photo onto heavy cardstock then fussy cut it out. I then traced the cutout with a Sharpie onto the banner. Then I started adding roving, piece by piece to fill in the lines. Using a special needle, I felted the roving in place. This needle has barbs, similar to fish scales……………sheep's wool also has barbs, much like fish scales too. By going up and down with the needle………….you will mesh the roving together with itself and the wool yarn of the banner.
The different textures within this felted piece comes from layering different colors and felting some washed raw curly wool partially.
To finish the piece off…………….I braided three pieces of yarn(one for the hanger, bottom piece and small piece under sheep's head). I added the metal pieces to the braids then attached them to the weaving using Beacon's 3 in 1 glue.
I have a lot of fun with this piece……….love the way it turned out!!!
Please join me in this fabulous weaving blog hop……………….if you started on my blog, you need to visit Tina Walker's blog. It has been a honor to be among the bloggers!!!!

Working hard would be my answer: Blog Response
Scrolling through the blogs of some of my classmates is pretty interesting—some unfathomable at times.
I never lived anywhere else but the East Coast, so I wouldn't know what life is like in other parts of the country. However, I would agree East Coast living is hectic at times.
Since the time I was 16 I have worked and went to school—let me just say it has not been easy. I would really love a break. Midwestgirl2eastcoastaddress I agree–I just can't justify hiring someone. (Although sometimes it does sound appealing.)
In a past life—about two years ago—I was a personal assistant. The work is grueling. As a PA, job assignments could vary from finding a plumber, calling to dispute a charge on a cell phone bill, cleaning out a huge storage unit, to creating spreadsheets for tax purposes. The amount of laziness some people have is alarming. I remember driving ½ hour to my employer's house to drop-off a prescription, simply because they were in bed and didn't feel like doing it themselves. The alarming part was I received my very own credit card, access to W2's and bank statements. How much of a person's life should be organized by another person before caution is taken?
Lucky for the Personal Assistant who got the job posted on Georgetown Student Employment, a task list is sent everyday by 9:00 am. I was paged anytime of the day my "employer" saw fit.
The job post alarmed me for a couple of other reasons, in addition to those posted by Midwestgirl2eastcoastaddress:
– Estimating hours for tasks may not work. i.e.½ to pick-up Frosted Flakes and green grapes from the Safeway may not work. What if you go to one store, there was a sale on Frosted Flakes and you have to fly over to the next store, but suddenly your stuck in traffic for 2 hours. How do you equate that one?
– "Other random tasks" assigned and "work additional hours" open to far too much. I should hope the PA has the option of saying no or else they will need a PA.
Contrary to Midwestgirl2eastcoastaddress I don't think this person ever did chores. I just hope they know someone with a job connection, because starting at the bottom of the career ladder and being a marketing/communication assistant or legal aide may not work.

How Bill Clinton does it
On an arcane subject — whether Obama is "robbing" Medicare of $716 billion to pay for his health care overhaul — Clinton sought to turn the tables by saying GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan's approach similarly counts $716 billion in Medicare savings. "I don't know whether to laugh or cry," Clinton said, before cracking in one of the night's top sound bites, "It takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what you did."
Keep relentlessly focused on the persuadable voterContinue Reading
Clinton's was not the only speech that thrilled Democrats in Charlotte Wednesday night. Just before Clinton went on, the crowd cheered lustily for Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, who has shot to prominence by vociferously taking on Wall Street. But Warren is struggling to win even as a Democrat in a historically liberal state. Her message against allegedly conniving corporations strikes some swing voters as strident — precisely the reason so many people at the convention liked her and her attacks on Romney. But those people's minds are already made up.
Clinton, by contrast, never mentioned Bain Capital or Swiss bank accounts or many of the other stock applause lines at this convention. It's not that Clinton himself probably doesn't enjoy hearing some of these attacks or even believe them, at least in part, but he doesn't believe they resonate with the voters in the middle Democrats need most.
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) said Clinton's approach is "more impactful for independent voters," adding that Clinton over time has gained "street cred" with this group. "He's been through the ringer. He's vouching for what Obama has done."
Clinton's discipline in focusing on independents comes naturally. He grew up running as a progressive politician in a conservative Southern state. He learned an acute sensitivity about being caricatured as too liberal, as well as a self-confidence that even skeptical voters can be won over with the right appeal. These are mental habits that don't come as easily to Democrats, including Obama, who grow up courting liberal voters and not thinking defensively.
Own your speech — don't outsource it
If Clinton sounded sincere in his delivery, consider this as a novel possibility for why: He really believed the arguments he was making. And he was stating them in language that felt natural to him.
With just a couple exceptions, you could pick just about any speech at random at either Tampa or Charlotte to find examples of the way many politicians do not own their own speeches. The consultant-driven lines — suburban women between 35 and 40 want you to say this — stand out like neon. So do the swollen, rhythmic passages that looked good on a speechwriter's laptop but obviously do not sound anything like the politician delivering the lines.
Clinton gets plenty of speechwriter help and staff input on his speeches. But he never ends up being herded by the help into saying something that he doesn't actually think or that doesn't sound like the way he would put it.
The truth is that Obama would sound off-key if he tried to give a speech the way Clinton does. Obama has delivered his own share of rhetorical hits. But it does seem clear that the relationship between the men turned an important chapter this week.
The old view on the Obama political team, stretching back to 2008 and the early days of the administration, was that Clinton stood for the politics of artifice and fancy footwork — an approach that yielded only "small-ball" results. Obama, they believed, stood for big things.
The new view on the Obama team, shared by many Democrats, is that Clinton knows a thing or two about blending argument, language, and performance to achieve the biggest thing for any first-term president, which is becoming a second-term president.

Samsung's monitors have often had the upper hand when it comes to looks, and the PX2370 tech gadgets are no exception: it's gorgeous. The screen sprouts from a slender see-through stand, it measures barely 18mm thick, and the clear plastic trim that clings to the bezel helps it melt subtly into its surroundings. If aesthetics alone were enough to guarantee a monitor's success, the PX2370 would sell in droves.
You may get a beautiful-looking monitor but there's no fancy, high-quality IPS panel at its heart. Instead, you get standard TN technology, measuring 23in across and with a Full HD resolution.
Dab the touch-sensitive power button and the monitor springs to life. It's bright – we measured it at 287cd/m2 – and colors are vibrant and well-adjusted out of the box. Testing didn't show up any horrendous shortcomings either, with only slight banding in grey scale transitions.
The PX2370 tech gadgets isn't hugely better than the far cheaper Hanns.G HL231, however. Our X-Rite colorimeter showed the PX2370 giving an average Delta E reading of 3.6 and peaking at a maximum of 7.5 in the greens. The colour temperature reading was just a little way off from the ideal of 6,500k at 6,732k, and gamma a bit off at an average of 2.0. We'd expect the LED backlighting to be better too. On a black screen, it leaks in from every side.
Even worse, the price is far too high, which means it's an option only for those who crave looks over quality. In these Labs you'll find several more capable monitors that cost considerably less.

New Hampshire must be on to something. The state is No. 1 for financial literacy and it had one of the top five average credit scores in the country at the end of last year.
That success likely stems from a variety of things: New Hampshire requires personal finance education in schools, has one of the highest high school graduation rates, has some of the most educated residents in the country and has the lowest portion of unbanked households in the country. In short: New Hampshire residents seem to have the resources to make smart financial decisions.
The Most Financially Literate States
A recent report from WalletHub took several financial and educational metrics and analyzed them to come up with the country's most (and least) financially literate states. The rankings are based on savings habits and spending patterns, in addition to states' educational requirements.
New Hampshire came out on top, followed closely by several states with similarly high credit scores (based on 2013 credit score data from Experian-Oliver Wyman Market Intelligence Reports).
1. New Hampshire
2. Utah
3. Virginia
4. New Jersey
5. Minnesota
6. South Dakota
7. North Dakota
8. Maryland
9. Idaho
10. Massachusetts
Five of those states are also among those with the top 10 average credit scores.
Financial literacy matters because everyone has to deal with money — and it's crucial to manage money well by spending within your means, saving for large purchases and unexpected expenses, paying your bills on time and understanding the terms of any financial products (usually credit cards or loans) you use.
Even if you didn't start out with the best financial foundation, you can learn from and correct past mistakes. One of the most helpful things you can do is learn how your past actions influence your credit standing and access to financial products in the future. Reviewing your credit scores and credit reports is a great habit to form, because you can connect how things like on-time payments and how much credit you use impact your credit scores. If you want to see where you stand, you can get two free credit scores with a Credit.com account, along with advice on how to improve or maintain them.

One of the most influential and important fly fishermen in history was Theodore Gordon. A legend even in his own day, his reputation was enhanced in the decades after his death to the point that he has become one of the luminaries of the field, the American alternative to the many British fly fishing writers. Gordon was a knowledgable writer and this column on flies is of particular interest as it has many lessons of great utility still today. It appeared in 1912 in Forest & Stream. The second part of this article will appear a week from today.
THE study of the insects born of the water and forming a considerable portion of the trout's food is one proposition. The imitation of these delicate creatures is another and requires much time, labor and close attention to detail. The hard-worked business or professional man, whose recreation is angling, can by close observation become sufficiently acquainted with the insects most favored by the trout for all practical purposes. He will, if he is a believer in imitation, have sufficient knowledge of the insects that prevail upon the waters he fishes, to guide him in the selection of his artificial flies and will know naturals when they appear, also their seasons, and when to expect them. He has not much leisure for fly dressing, nor for the endless task of searching for and buying perfect materials that will satisfy him and enable him to realize his ideals. Many of the best amateur fly tiers purchase a portion of their stock, thus saving time for the creation of a few favorite patterns. They know that enormous stocks of well dressed artificials, are carried by the best shops, and that they can match most flies in size and color. However, their fingers are often busy in leisure hours, and there is great satisfaction in killing trout with the work of one's own hands.
Those of us who have actually lived upon the trout streams in youth and in maturity have been favored by opportunity. We have not the diversions, the excitement and keen competition of life in a great city. In the country, sport and all things pertaining to it becomes of great importance to us, and fishing and shooting become to a great extent our only recreations. We spend our leisure in or near the water, and the habit of observation grows upon us. The flies that interest the angler and the trout, aside from those land insects occasionally blown upon the water, or like the ants, seek it in the winged state of their own will, may be divided into a few great families and may be recognized by the position of their wings and their habits when in or on the water. These insects are the day flies (Ephemeride), the stone flies (Peplidae), the case worms or caddis flies (Phryganidae) and gnats and midges which belong mostly to the order of the Diptera. There are other flies, of course, but these are by far the most important. We wish to know in advance what insects may be expected at certain times, and their sizes and colors, as we do not care to be tying flies when we would be fishing. Then we ascertain the time of the rise; that is, the hours of the day when these insects will undergo the transformation from larva, nymphs or grubs, into winged flies, and this varies with the seasons and temperature. Yet day after day it may occur at nearly the same hour. I fancy that the temperature of the water has a good deal to do with it. Early in the season the rise is usually after mid-day and before 3 o'clock P.M. As the weather becomes warmer, the flies may appear early and late in the day, but the best of days for the angler are those when the rise is at short intervals, or when a few flies continue to hatch out all day long. The day flies come from a larva that lives in the gravel, under stones or in moss or mud; the caddis flies from little cases of sand and gravel or bits of wood; the stone flies from larva and the gnats and midges from the water and the land: A well made artificial fly having a natural appearance and having good colors put into it may answer for more than one species.
Dun for instance is a common color among insects, from gray to almost purple, a dark blue dun. Yellow is another standard color, from a pale fleshy yellow through delicate primrose to orange. Brown is quite fashionable, particularly for evening wear, although in spring it is quite proper in the morning and may run from a soft yellowish brown to brown red. Black is never out of season and is comme il faut for bugs and gnats of many sorts.
I have even collected a black spinner, a perfect day fly with clear wings.
The family names of all the gnats. and midges need not trouble us over much. We want only the position of the wings, color and size of these tiny' creatures. Many of the day flies and caddis are extremely small, but are easily recognized. Tile larger trout are not much given to midging on our mountain streams, unless these insects are superabundant. If any man wishes to tackle a tough proposition, let him try for a big trout that is rising at tiny insects, in quiet water that is as clear as glass (and as smooth). Unless the fish happens to be unsophisticated and will accept a fly of respectable proportions, the task is a difficult one. Then, if ever, one wishes for invisible gut and the hand of a fairy. Trout that are feeding, or ready to feed, in rough or crinkly water are 'easy if the surroundings are such that we can present the fly from the correct position and place it so that it floats down naturally.
A fly dressed after a day fly may answer for one of the caddis of similar coloration. Pull off the tail if you like, but it assists in balancing and floating the fly. When the caddis, flutters, its wings are up. When in the air and sunlight, its buzzing wings and the legs give one the impression of a little halo around the body. The stone flies often raise their big wings when running on the water, and when laying eggs of course their wings are tip. Because of the color of the wings the English yellow Sally is often used for one of our caddis flies, but a simple yellow hackle of the right shade will often kill better, and I have seen a yellow tag do good work. Hackle flies may be made to float and kill well. I have used what are called spent spinners a great deal, and these are supposed to represent the day flies in the very last stage of their existence, but mine are not always spent. Some insects carry their eggs in a bag at their hinder ends, and when this is conspicuous, it must be quite attractive to the trout. The insect may deposit its eggs in one parcel by a single dip in the water, but then again it may not. I have seen them come down from a height, make one dip and fly away, but many flies dip a number of times in one place, then fly a short distance and do it again. I have seen an insect come out from a bush and pound up and down like a piece of machinery, then fly back to the bush. The female stone flies are heavy and clumsy in laying eggs. They are sometimes caught by the current and carried downstream a short distance before they can rise again.
The common stone fly appears on these waters in limited numbers throughout the season, but there are other species of this fly that have a short season during which they are plentiful. One of these is quite fat and more yellow than the common species. Some of the western rivers have great hatches of stone flies. We have at least two species of May fly (Ephentera) and probably many more. I have had specimens of three that I thought differed most decidedly in coloration and even in size, but color is not very reliable in distinguishing the species in fish and flies. Some familiar insects rise in multitudes one year and are scarce the next season. Any angler of experience can select an assortment of artificial flies that will kill well on all waters where the dry-fly is good medicine. As the years pass, he picks up a pattern here and there and stows it away in his box for a special occasion. He has known days when one little shabby fly made all the difference between a full creel and a few small trout, and he has an eye for any fly of perfect coloration.

This week, in a scathing take-down of Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton linked him to white supremacists and white nationalists in the alt-right movement, and laid bare his own history of racial discrimination. Republicans responded with deafening silence.
Clinton spelled out the impact Trump's rhetoric and his association with far-right bigots on our national discourse.
"From the start, Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia," Clinton said, before reciting a litany of Trump's blatantly racist assertions. "He is taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over the Republican Party. His disregard for the values that make our country great is profoundly dangerous."
Clinton, in one killer sentence, effectively put Donald Trump in a box he's unlikely to talk his way out of between now and November.
It all culminated in one brutal paragraph in which Clinton managed to hit on many of the key themes of her address: "A man with a long history of racial discrimination, who traffics in dark conspiracy theories drawn from the pages of supermarket tabloids and the far reaches of the internet, should never run our government or command our military."
Plus, she did it all without ever once actually calling Trump a racist. She laid out the evidence, connected the dots, and trusted Americans to get the picture.
You might expect Republicans would rush to defend their nominee and standard-bearer from such a devastating attack. You would be wrong. The big story, after Clinton's speech, is the deafening silence of Republican leadershipApparently House Speaker Paul Ryan either couldn't be bothered or couldn't bear to watch.
Recap: Asked for response to Clinton's 'alt-right' speech:
Ryan spox: "Doubt he saw it."
McConnell spox: "I don't think he saw the speech."
— Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) August 26, 2016
The Republican Party has tweeted about everything but Clinton's speech, and failed to even issue so much as a press release in Trump's defense. No leading Republicans have come forward to defend Trump. Running mate Mike Pence flew back to Indiana, to survey storm damage, and hasn't been heard from since.
RNC Communications Director Sean Spicer went on television to defend Trump and fell flat on his face.
Not only did no Republicans come forward to defend Trump, but none came forward to denounce him either. Not a singe one in the 24 hours since this speech has come forward to say that they can no longer in good conscience support Donald Trump. Clinton's speech wasn't just designed to take down Trump. It was also designed to give Republicans a escape hatch.
Offered one last chance to be on the right side of history, or at least not on the wrong side of it, not one Republican took it. That says as much about the Republican Party as Clinton said about Trump.
Here's the best of the rest of the worst in wingnuttery this week:
- Poor Trump surrogate Kaleigh McEnany got taken to school when she dared quote Martin Luther King in her defense of Trump, after Clinton's speech nailed him racism and ties to the alt-right movement.
- It's not just Trump. Maine Gov. Paul LePage doubled down on his earlier claim that 90 percent of drug dealers are black or Hispanic. LePage also left a obscenity-laced voicemail challenging Maine Rep. Drew Gattine to a duel for having called LePage racist.
- The Republican mayor of Midland City, Alabama, got racist on Facebook after losing her seat to a black candidate. "I lost. The ni**er won," griped Mayor Patsy Capshaw Skipper
- In a joyous moment of pure schadenfreude, Donald Trump totally ruined the launch for Ann Coulter's new book, "In Trump We Trust," when he appeared to flip-flop on his hardline stance on immigration. Coulter flew into a rage on Twitter, mocking Trump's new stance.
- RNC Communications Director Sean Spicer apparently lost it when CNN host Brianna Keilar send him why Donald Trump won't speak directly to black voters.
- Anti-Muslim activist Pamela Geller told One America News Network's Graham Ledger that the stakes in this election are so high that if Donald Trump loses, "it's like Czechoslovakia and Hitler."
- How far the mighty have fallen. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani went on Fox News to say that Hillary Clinton is winning only because the media is ignoring her health issues. It seems so far beneath a man of Giuliani's former stature to be on television flogging a long debunked conspiracy theory based on YouTube videos, that the Washington Post editorial board is worried for about his health. (Not really.)
- "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert diagnosed Giuliani as a "man with his head up his own ass."
- Conservative commentator Ben Stein is no doctor, but he decided to play one on TV, and diagnosed Hillary Clinton for Newsmax host Steve Salzburg. Maybe Stein suffers from the same malady as Giuliani.
- Armed white supremacists surrounded the NAACP building in Houston, Texas, with banner that read "white lives matter," among other things. Another sign read, "14 words," a reference to the white supremacist slogan, "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."
- Liberty Counsel attorney Matt Staver, speaking to a Pennsylvania anti-abortion group, said that only the "brainwashed" think the Supreme Court ruing on marriage equality is really the law of the land. Well, only "brainwashed" by actually reading the Constitution.
- Former congressperson Michele Bachmann said in a Minnesota Public Radio interview that she is now advising Donald Trump on foreign affairs, apparently with an eye towards the "last days."
- Bachmann also told Breitbart News that President Obama has "sanctioned" violence against conservatives and white people, so long as it protects the "people favorable to the Obama position, politically."
- Florida Republican candidate for Congress Dan Bongino launched a profanity-laden tirade at Politico reporter Marc Caputo. Bonging apparently objected to an earlier story claiming that most of his campaign donations came from outside his district.
- It's got to take a lot to rattle Glenn Beck, but Beck was spooked by a call from a Donald Trump supporter who warned "We're going to come after him personally," if Trump backs off of his promises on immigration.
- Former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros filed suit against the network, accusing the right-wing media network of operating "like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency, and misogyny."

This amazingly beautiful, colourful illustration depicts a three-dimensional image of a group of clindamycin-resistant Group-B Streptococcus (GBS), also known as S. agalactiae, bacteria, which were at the time arranged in chains.
The artistic recreation is based on a scanning electron microscopic (SEM) image.
If you look very carefully, you can even see a number of these organisms undergoing the process of cell division along the long axis of their respective chains.
Read below for more details about how to order your print.
How to order your print:
Step 1 – Choose the size – we make from 5×7 – 30×40 inches.
Step 2 – Select your material. We can print your order onto either White felt textured paper, metal or stretch canvas.
Once you select your combination the price will display.
Material Descriptions:
1) White paper print:
Is a cold pressed bright white paper, very high-quality, archival grade with a textured surface. 340gsm
2) Stretched canvas:
Is a thick archival grade, poly-cotton blend canvas that provides greater durability. Stretched over 1.5 inch kiln dried pine stretcher bars to ensure that the canvas print does not warp or bow over time.
3) Metal print:
If you are looking for a super high definition piece of art with brilliant color vibrancy, Metal Prints are the way to go! Metal prints, also known as Aluminum Prints, offer a vibrancy of color not seen in other types of prints. Because of the way that the image is infused into the aluminum's coating, the colors on a metal print are incredibly vivid. Upon viewing an aluminum print for the first time, people often think the brilliance of color is due to artificial lighting, rather than the medium itself. Comes with a inset frame mount that positions your picture a dramatic ¾ inch from the wall.

Male Borderline Personality Disorder: What You Should Know
Do you or someone you know exhibit the following characteristics: frequent self-injurious behaviors (SIB), suicidal ideations or suicide attempts, frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment, unstable and intense interpersonal relationships that include alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation, identity disturbance, impulsivity (acting before thinking), chronic feelings of emptiness, and inappropriate and intense emotions that are sometimes disproportional to the trigger? Many of these characteristics make up the term Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). BPD tends to be a frequent diagnosis for females, primarily those females who have many of the above symptoms including frequent SIB and suicidal thoughts. Sadly, many males (adolescents and adults) also exhibit symptoms of BPD but are often misdiagnosed as Attention Deficit Disorder or oppositional defiant disorder. The key to identifying BPD in males is to look at the constellation of symptoms and the intensity of the emotions of the individual. This article will focus on highlighting male BPD symptoms and some of the red flags to look out for.
It can be very difficult to identify BPD in women much less men. In fact, BPD can become very confused with bipolar disorder I (mania and depression). Some research suggests that BPD is a disorder often identified and diagnosed mainly in women. Rarely is it ever diagnosed or even considered a diagnosis for a man. Why? Because the pre-established gender norms (that are limited) have made identifying symptoms of BPD difficult in men. This is why most males are misdiagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder, attention deficit disorder, conduct disorder, and even psychosis. As a result, it is important that we understand what BPD symptoms can look like in males. It is even more important to determine what BPD traits (symptoms of BPD) look like in adolescent males who cannot be diagnosed until age 18.
Psychologist Debra Mandel wrote a foreword for the book Hard to Love: Understanding and Overcoming Male Borderline Personality Disorder by Joseph Nowinski and highlighted a very important point which is:
"For years, psychology has been heavily saturated with attention on women and their relationships, as if the male gender didn't matter. Tons of attention has gone toward understanding and diagnosing insecure and emotionally unstable women, both in the worlds of counseling and self-help. However, the male gender has been seriously short changed. Well, men too, can suffer from low self-esteem, insecurity, and enormous self doubt that can compromise the stability of their intimate relationships. Because we've tended to stereotype men as the 'tough ones,' we've missed the boat on understanding the complexity of their inner world."
Red flags to look for include:
- Frequent romantic relationships (often too close together): Do you know a male who has been with tons of women? Did this guy feel guilty or did they feel admired? Believe it or not, some males with BPD symptoms will date multiple women (feel guilty later) and refuse to commit due to a fear of abandonment. Other males will "scare" their spouses away with their quick tempers, argumentativeness, and sometimes even physical aggression. An interaction with a male with BPD may include the individual saying any and everything to trigger their spouses anger. Their relationships may be frequent and too fast. Individuals with BPD tend to be emotional which is why some individuals pursue multiple relationships that begin too fast and end before you can blink.
- Drama laden behaviors and attitudes: Most of society, primarily men, would say that "women are dramatic." Some women would agree. In fact, it is a natural thing for women to be emotional with all of the emotions and hormonal fluctuations. But for males, the drama would look at bit different. For example, I previous worked with a 13 year old male who would come to therapy idealizing me and his work with me almost all month until the final week of the month when he would become very detached emotionally and standoffish. He fluctuated between liking me and confiding in me, to rejecting my ideas and therapeutic support. During these "episodes," he would also break up with a girl and pursue another. He would also reach out to old girlfriends via texting with the excuse that: "I didn't end things right, I need to make it right." This continued for years.
- Roller Coaster emotions, thoughts, and behaviors: Again, as stated above, most men are not dramatic but sometimes the way in which emotions are expressed can feel like multiple personalities. Men with BPD will often become "hot" and "cold," change perspective quickly, or exhibit very angry and hostile emotions toward others. This is the type of person who will exhibit a consistent and stable pattern of behavior, perhaps even for a long time, and then quickly change into what seems like a completely different person. An example of this would be a teenager being a "daddy's girl" one moment, and then later telling the father how awful of a person he is and how unfair his parenting is.
- Hot and Cold interactions with others:Some individuals with BPD really struggle with relationships and often have trouble with interpretation of comments, body language, and emotions. For example, a male with BPD might find it quite disturbing that his wife speaks to other men while in public. He might begin to behave oddly such as being emotionally distant, becoming easily angered, not openly communicating, or begin taking everything personally. This same man may later act as if nothing happened and instantly appear to be one of the most fair spouses you could ever have. The emotions of BPD are like a roller coaster at times and it can be difficult to determine what emotion the individual might exhibit from one moment to another.
- Frequent suicide attempts or SIB: It is a known fact within the world of psychology and psychiatry that individuals with suicidal ideations (i.e., thoughts), gestures, or threats will often use suicide as a way to manipulate their loved ones or somehow prove that they are "lovable." For example, the man above on #4 might become so jealous of his wife talking to other men than he decides to tell his wife that he will kill himself if she does not refuse to talk to other men.In this case, suicidal thoughts, threats, or in gestures is used to manipulate someone else. However, there are individuals who are seriously considering suicide because the symptoms of BPD "causes" difficulties in various domains.The pain is so intensified including the fear of abandonment that suicidal thoughts may temporarily comfort the sufferer.
- Attention seeking behaviors: Some individuals with BPD (primarily adolescents with BPD traits) crave attention, even if it is negative. The loud attitude, the blatant and aggressive words, the criticism, the accusations of being unloved and abandoned all draw attention to the individual. Males who exhibit BPD traits will often cut themselves or harm themselves in some way and then draw attention to how they harmed themselves. Other males with BPD traits may engage in risky behaviors such as unprotected sex, having multiple mother of multiple children, domestically abusing his family, making threats to keep everyone afraid and confused, or entertaining a negative group of peers (e.g., gang involvement),
- Dependency/co-dependency: Co-dependency or dependency is often a very common symptom of BPD. As stated above, the fear of abandonment makes it difficult for individuals with BPD to maintain safe, healthy, an satisfying relationships. On the other hand, there may be times when someone connected to the individual with BPD begins to rely, emotionally and psychologically, on the individual with BPD. The relationship is dependent upon the other individual who may be just as (or more) emotionally and psychologically unstable.
- Anger outbursts but social charm: Many of us are used to hearing that sociopaths or narcissists are superficial, shallow, and manipulative. But we must also consider that an individual with BPD (who may also have other diagnoses) can become very angry to the point of manipulating situations or responding to confrontations/arguments inappropriately. Anger outbursts can occur more than we think in individuals with BPD.

Kem Cetinay throws himself into Dancing On Ice rehearsals days after Amber Davies split
The Love Island star is keeping himself busy with the ITV show and left yet another rehearsal today
KEM Cetinay left another rehearsal for Dancing On Ice, days after his split with Amber Davies.
The Love Island star is keeping himself busy with the ITV show as he deals with the break up.
Kem and Amber called it quits last week after a string of bust ups.
Since then, Kem has thrown himself into training with his Dancing On Ice partner Alex Murphy and the pair were spotted on the ice a few days ago.
This morning he was spotted wrapped up warm and wheeling a suitcase while clutching a large holdall.
A pal told Sun Online: "They've been at each other's necks for the past month.
"They've clashed over the smallest things.
"It's also been very hard for them to see each other with their hectic schedules.
"They tried to make it work but realised they want different things."
Kem, 21, and Amber, 20, confirmed in a statement: "With sadness, we've decided to separate. Our schedules made it difficult. We'll remain good friends."

Amber also addressed the break up via a message to fans on social media.
She said: "Would just like to say I am incredibly overwhelmed by everyone's lovely messages and comments.
"The love and support from you all has been absolutely heartwarming. Thank you so much ❤"

'EU doesn't want Turkey because country is Muslim'
"All European countries, particularly France, is against the EU membership of Turkey because country is Muslim," says French journalist Jean-Dominique Merchet
Editor / Internet 16:16 January 12, 2017 Yeni Şafak
French journalist Jean-Dominique Merchet has said that the reason why the European Union (EU) is against admitting Turkey as a member is because Turkey is a Muslim country.
"All European countries, particularly France, is against the EU membership of Turkey because country is Muslim," Merchet said.
"We cannot even discuss Turkey's membership to EU in France. One cannot express his support to Turkey's membership to EU. I am very sorry about it," he said.
Merchet said that he is aware of the three big threats that Turkey is facing; Daesh, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ).
"Even though the international community doesn't describe the Gülenist Movement as a terrorist organization, this terror group is a great threat for Turkey," he said.
Merchet also touched upon the confusion of the United Nations on the description of armed groups in Syria and Iraq.
"There is no consensus between countries about describing armed groups in the war-torn countries, such as Syria and Iraq. They don't have a stable terrorism definition," he said.
Ankara denounces the PYD and YPG as affiliates of the PKK terrorist organization, which have been conducting terrorist attacks targeting Turkey for three decades and which is designated as a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.
However, Washington insists on indicating that YPG is their ally against Daesh, despite Turkey's warnings.
Merchet criticized European countries for not making contributions toward solving the refugee crisis, adding that Turkey and Lebanon are putting all their efforts.
More than 3 million Syrians have sought refuge in Turkey from the civil war, now in its sixth year.
Turkey is the world's biggest host of refugees, amid the greatest global movement of refugees ever recorded.
Millions left Syria and more than 600,000 people have been killed in the Syrian Civil War.
Turkey struck a deal with the EU in November to prevent migrants from traveling to Europe in return for 3 billion euro in cash, a deal on visas for Turkish citizens and renewed talks on joining the 28-nation bloc.
However, the EU broke its promise and declined to pay the money that is earmarked for the refugees being hosted in Turkey.

Everybody's been wanting a peek at Samsung's new Galaxy S6 phone for some time, but they weren't going to know or see a thing about it until March 1st at Galaxy Unpacked, Samsung's globally-live streamed premiere event for the S6 phone. Before Unpacked, Samsung asked director Paul Mignot to swell the fervor for the Galaxy S6, with a teaser film promoting the event, and he delivered something astounding. Paul Mignot poured his signature aesthetic of dark atmospheres and sleek, lustrous surfaces into the Galaxy Unpacked promo film; in the 45-second piece, a symphony of marvelous colors and shapes erupt from a black abyss. No actual Galaxy S6 phone is shown in the teaser, yet the enigma generated by Paul's film brought Galaxy Unpacked to the attention of the whole world, netting 3 million views on YouTube in just a few days.

HELP! Robert Freeman is a Legend, and His Life's Work is in Danger of Utter Ruin
P.I.G. director Dean Freeman's father Robert Freeman was a trailblazing photographer, best known for the portraits and album covers he shot for his good friends, The Beatles.
Tragically, Robert is currently in ill health, and unable to personally protect his portfolio—a photograph collection of tremendous cultural value, featuring the first ever Pirelli Calendar: Plus canonical stills of the 20th Century's greatest icons, from Muhammad Ali to John Coltrane to Andy Warhol. Robert's son Dean, with some assistance from Robert's friend Sir Paul McCartney, is raising money here to help preserve Robert's life's work: Dean is selling a piece of very rare Beatles memorabilia: a limited batch of prints of the exclusive above photo of John Lennon, taken by Robert inside Lennon's home in Surrey. The high-quality, C-type metallic paper prints of this photo will be scanned from the original photograph directly and only upon order, and no more of these expert reprints will be made after May 15, 2015. Buy soon, to help the great cause of protecting both Robert's and the world's pictorial legacy.

More on the film: Indie Game: The Movie (2012, 103 min., dirs. Lisanne Pajot & James Swirsky) The late Roger Ebert claimed that video games are not art, but even he found Indie Game: The Movie to be "fascinating," and a strong counter-point to his statement. This Sundance Award-winning, fully Kickstarter-funded documentary gives ode to those most trivialized and dismissed of all modern craftsmen, video game designers, and sheds light on the stress, heartbreak, and genius that go into making a playable video game.
The four subjects presented in Indie Game: The Movie are all independent game designers, who riskily finance, conceive, code, and lose sleep over their single-and-multi-player labours of love, in hopes of placating the notoriously vocal gaming community, and producing the next Xbox Marketplace mega-hit. Indie Game: The Movie is not only a demystifying look into the game-design process, but also an engrossing drama about the thought and sacrifice needed to make anything of significance in this world, whether it's art or not.

Walking into The Drouthy Bear is like coming home to your own neighborhood bar — even if you live nowhere near the picturesque coastal town of Camden. This adorable pub is located on Elm Street, the town's main drag, and within a few steps inside, I fully expected to see Ted Danson behind the bar, wiping down a pint glass, and a pretentious psychiatrist sipping sherry in the corner.
While no one knew my name or shouted "Norm!" as the man behind me entered, I was immediately greeted by our bartender with a large smile and a warm hello. The first thing I noticed, as I stared slack-jawed at the stocked bottles behind the bar, was the extensive whiskey and scotch collection. Its website touts over 70 single malts and whiskeys from around the world, however when I asked the bartender, I was told it was currently over 150.
To put it simply, it is a whiskey lover's dream.
Peeking out from behind some of the bottles was a vaguely familiar black bottle. Laphroaig 25 is a rare scotch that I've never even seen at another bar before. It retails for over $500 a bottle, and here at The Drouthy Bear, it costs $90 a pour. Needless to say, I didn't try that one. I did, however, try a small pour of the Port Charlotte Islay Single Malt. Holy peated deliciousness. Like most Islays, each sip was filled with the signature smoky peat of the region, however, with this scotch, it was balanced and had end notes of creamy vanilla to counter the strong peat, which with some scotch, can be overbearing.
In addition to the impressive whiskey and scotch collection, The Drouthy Bear has an incredible cocktail list, as well as an extensive beer collection featuring several craft beers I had never heard of, including the crisp and delicious Wheat 'N' Potatoes from Banded Horn Brewing in Biddeford.
Two of the most notable cocktails were the Bramble ($10), which had Hendrick's Gin, blueberries, blackberries and soda water. It was refreshing and fruity (without being too sweet), while retaining the juniper notes of the gin. The Relapse (also $10) was made with Goslings Rum, fresh lemon, maple syrup and ginger bitters. With these unique blend of flavors, I was surprised that they worked so well. It was cool and light and could easily be just as delicious served hot for a winter drink as it was refreshing as a summer drink on ice.
Great drinks and friendly service aren't the only notable traits of The Drouthy Bear. The cute space was once a historic home that owners Andrew and Shannon Stewart renovated into the bar. Perhaps that's what gives it its cozy feel. As you wander in the entrance, you're met with the bar immediately on your right. The room horseshoes around and curves into several different areas to drink or eat. There is also an outdoor patio, both in the front and the back, to embrace those gorgeous summer days and nights. Inside, you'll find a fireplace for when those balmy nights turn into crisp winters and stacks of board games to keep yourself busy.
According to the website, Andrew Stewart was born in Scotland and spent much of his childhood within the local pubs. It was only natural that he wanted to create a local pub that payed homage to Scottish, Irish and British pub culture as well as the food. It only takes a few minutes to see the warmth, love and sense of community here at The Drouthy Bear. With trivia night every Tuesday, traditional live music every Wednesday and afternoon tea every day between 2 and 4 p.m., it's clear that this pub is great for families and patrons of all ages, locals and vacationers alike. It has a bit of something for everyone.
WHERE: 50 Elm St., Camden
WEBSITE: drouthybear.com
HOURS: 11 a.m. " 'til we want to go home," according to the website, (usually until at least 10:30 p.m., earlier or later depending on business) Tuesday through Saturday
AMENITIES: Lunch, dinner, Tuesday night trivia, live music Wednesday, indoor seating, outdoor seating, back outdoor patio
WHEELCHAIR ACCESS: No
BOTTOM LINE: The Drouthy Bear isn't a place to be missed. If you are in the Camden area, I highly recommend popping in for a pint, a shot, dinner, a cocktail — anything, really. For such a small, tourist-driven town, The Drouthy Bear maintains a feel for the locals, yet welcomes everyone. They have truly refined what they do, and they do it well. Cozy and friendly, the atmosphere is perfect for families as well as adults looking for a fun night. The bottom line is simply: Go there.

Legal Eagles' Marathon Trek to Help Victims of Deadly Asbestos
Legal eagles are gearing up for a gruelling 24-hour hike to help victims of deadly asbestos.
Madelene Holdsworth, and Natalie Lamb are taking part in the Bullock Smithy Hike, covering 56 miles of stunning Peak District scenery in the space of just 24 hours.
Sponsorship money raised will go to the Greater Manchester Asbestos Victims Support Group to support people diagnosed with illnesses such as mesothelioma, an incurable cancer, as a result of being exposed to the toxic dust.
As part of the industrial disease team at law firm Slater and Gordon, both Madelene and Natalie experience first hand the vital work of the group in helping members and campaigning for better research and treatment as well as the removal of asbestos from workplaces and homes.
The client in the first case I worked on recently died as a result of exposure to asbestos so that will be my motivation.
Head of the national team at Slater and Gordon, Madelene, a mum-of-two, said: "We regularly see how these terrible diseases can irreparably impact on people and their families. The saddest thing is that in most cases it could have been avoided if they had been aware of the dangers, but many employers turned a blind eye and now innocent workers are now paying the price."
Natalie, a paralegal who is also based at the firm's Mosley Street office, added: "The client in the first case I worked on recently died as a result of exposure to asbestos so that will be my motivation.
"It is a really challenging walk, but we feel ready to meet it head on."
Asbestos, also known as "the hidden killer", is a group of minerals made up of fibres with heat resistant properties and was banned in the UK in 1999 due to its cancer-causing properties. Inhaling asbestos fibres can cause diseases which lie dormant in the body for decades so the damage is only realised much later.
Many buildings still contain asbestos, and so even today people could still be exposed to the deadly dust and fibre, which kills around 2,500 people in Great Britain every year.
The fundraising hike sets off from Hazel Grove on September 2, returning the following day. You can sponsor the team at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/NatalieLamb2

An extremely well executed piece of experimental theatre, this production fails to realise its ambitious aims.
The story of Brian Keenan remains seared on the conscience of the British public, despite the time that has lapsed since it unfolded. Keenan endured an almost unimaginable emotional and physical ordeal over four and a half years of captivity in Lebanon during the late 1980s. One of the few ways we can ever begin to try and understand his experience is via An Evil Cradling, the memoir which Keenan wrote soon after he was released.
Without Warning has been inspired by An Evil Cradling and also attempts to enable an understanding of Keenan's imprisonment. Its artistic director, Lizzi Kew Ross, speaks of Keenan's powerful writing, his 'clear and visceral word portraits'. Described at its commencement as a 'promenade piece', Without Warning requires the audience to become intimately involved in the experience, following the performers around the dimly lit tunnels underneath Waterloo Station. Very little direction is offered; the only indication of where one should stand is provided by the presence and movement of the actors.
However, the four dancers and four musicians appear and disappear with such rapidity and illogic that it was not unknown to find yourself at the back of the audience when you had, only a minute before, been at the front. This results in a very British stampede, as audience members strain to keep up with the performance, whilst also attempting to ensure they do not tread on one another's toes.
It must be as challenging a performance for the actors to act as it is for the spectators to watch. As the audience fluctuates and scatters, the configuration of the space in which the actors perform is unknown and constantly changeable. It could only work in a space such as the Old Vic Tunnels, which allows for such movement and experimentation. However, whilst the tunnels may provide the required atmosphere and space, they could not come close to conjuring up the tiny, cockroach and rat infested cells to which Keenan was confined.
Similarly, the performance does not sufficiently convey the terror Keenan must have felt, the 'constant abuse and violence', nor the 'mercurial temperament and psychotic personality' of his captors. Fittingly for a performance based on a period of time spent largely in solitude, there is no dialogue for the first 15 minutes and after that the dialogue is limited and disjointed. However, this means that the closeness that arose between Keenan and John McCarthy, a British journalist who was held with Keenan during some of his captivity, can only be hinted at.
Given its abstract nature, the performance requires a basic understanding of Brian Keenan's experience. Yet, even with this, one does not feel that Without Warning does his ordeal justice. It is undoubtedly harrowing and disconcerting but ultimately leaves the audience confused rather than affected.
• Without Warning is at The Old Vic Tunnels until 11 February.

text: In the ongoing debate over health care reform, critics are increasingly citing the lack of tort reform as a major deficiency of the current proposals floating around Congress. Republicans are using conservatives to seek tort reform to shield corporate malefactors from full accountability for their wrongdoing. Corporate interests have a vested interest in keeping the tide of public opinion running against trial lawyers because it deflects the widespread problem of negligent and reckless conduct that injures consumers. Currently 98,000 people die annually from preventable medical errors which places medical malpractice as the sixth leading cause of death in America. This immediately places victims and their families at the hands of the court system in order to achieve justice. Under the 7th amendment, victims should be guaranteed a fair trial before a jury. However Republicans are looking to infringe upon this right by enacting tort reform. Contact your local representative and inform them that trial rights should not be diminished and fight for the victims of medical malpractice. To read more about tort reform, please click the link.

Seems like most online recipes for sesame mousse use the more expensive and harder to buy sesame paste / have to grind your own black sesame. I only had black sesame powder (cheap and easy to find in Asian market) at home and using a green tea mousse recipe as guideline, I came up with a pretty decent black sesame mousse. I used a small amount of cream cheese to replace raw egg yolks in the green tea recipe as strong egg yolk taste may cover up black sesame fragrance yet I need some thickener, so a small amount of cream cheese is a good choice.

Eminent Victorians was written by Lytton Strachey in 1918, and it is one of his better known books. It contains biographies of four of Victorian England's leading figures.
Cardinal Henry Manning was an important religious figure in Victoria's England. He began his career as an Anglican clergyman but became associated with the Tractarians and converted to Catholicism. He eventually became a Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster and a cardinal.
A second biography told of the life of Florence Nightingale. She was definitely an important figure for her times, but not a likable figure, in my opinion.
Thomas Arnold was a Victorian educator responsible for a number of reforms. General Gordon, or Chinese Gordon as he was called, was a British arm officer and administrator. He is remembered for defending a city in the Sudan for almost a year as it was under seige by a local leader. He died two days before rescue arrived.
Strachey's biographies were noted for revealing the real person in place of the legend. Strachey was a member of the Bloomsbury group, a homosexual and an outstanding writer. I enjoy reading about his life as much as I enjoy his writing.

- What Is The Best Portable Monitor?
When on the go, however, in the confinement of our small laptop screen or tablet, things do not look as bright. Manufacturers have considered this and have come up with lightweight USB cable connected portable monitors, which anyone can pack along with their laptop or console while traveling or unable to use a multi-monitor setup.
The 5 Best Portable Monitors:
When buying a handy portable monitor, you should consider a variety of factors, mainly what the monitor will be used for – gaming, movies, work, reading, etc.
Below we have the 5 best portable monitors based on their capabilities, maximum resolution, viewing angles, and ease of portability:
1. ASUS MB168B 15.6 Inch LED USB Portable Monitor
From powerful PC parts to quality gaming setups and monitors, ASUS have proven their ability to create outstanding products of the highest quality. The Taiwanese IT company did not take long to come up with a great on-the-go solution, just as good for gaming, as it is for your daily needs when traveling and not having access to your desktop PC.
You might also be interested in the ASUS MB169B+, which we reviewed here.
This is another USB powered HD monitor which is to this day, the slimmest and most lightweight portable USB monitor in the world. Coming in at a little less than 2 pounds, this stylish HD monitor offers fluid and fast imaging with great contrast and features an automatic lighting sensor, which adjusts the brightness of the screen, according to the ambient lighting conditions.
With the exclusive ASUS EZlink technology, you can connect up to five portable monitors via USB 3.0, regardless of your computer's graphic capacities. Unlike other portable monitors, this one also offers backward compatibility with the older USB 2.0 ports, which can prove convenient if you need to pair the screen with an older computer.
If you are worried about the warranty of this pencil-thin device, do not delve too much into it. ASUS offers its Rapid Replacement option with this product, meaning a three-year warranty, complete with two-way free shipping.
Furthermore, the MB168B comes equipped with its own ASUS Smart Case, a two-way adjustable stand for either portrait or landscape orientation and a protective sleeve. To sum it up, this monitor will set you back more than others, but it certainly offers a lot more in return.
2. GAEMS M155 15.5 Inch HD LED Portable Monitor
Midway through our list, it is time to turn our attention to a product, screaming "hardcore gamer" right off the bat. Gaems M155 is targeted towards the console gamers, LAN party fans, and anyone who wants to enjoy gaming anywhere they are.
Almost as light as the Asus monitor, this portable gaming companion offers 720p (1080p scaled) resolution at 16:9 aspect ratio and could not be easier to plug and play. The hinged anti-slip rubber feet help the screen stay perfectly on top of a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, but it also fits and holds steady just as good on any surface.
In case you feel like streaming, there is even a camera mount with a quarter-inch socket compatible with most mounts clamps and tripods. Although the monitor is virtually lag-free and ideal for your daily gaming needs, it may present blurriness when displaying plain texts well as poor viewing angles, making it the right fit for everyone sitting in front, but not an ideal crowd-pleaser.
Another feature some might dislike is the glossy screen. While it complements the sleek design of the monitor, not everyone likes fingerprints on their monitor all the time.
Lastly, for those who love game immersion, the Gaems M155 is equipped with a single speaker and a standard 3.5mm audio jack if you decide to go full headphones mode. In any case, whether you want a great second monitor to have around while traveling, or a gaming comrade always ready to go, the M155 is a classy choice.
3. AOC e1759Fwu 17-Inch Ultra-Slim Portable Monitor
AOC is one of the most well-renowned companies specializing in producing crystal clear monitors, which are great for both work and gaming, while still maintaining a competitive price. This monitor is fully powered via USB 3.0, which means no additional cables laying around. With a 650:1 contrast ratio, the monitor's maximum resolution is 1600×900 @60hz for a great HD experience.
You might also be interested in the AOC I1601FWUX, which we reviewed here.
The ultra-slim design ensures an easy carry for every on-the-go need, such as a presentation, and the foldable flexi-stand offers an effortless switch between portrait and landscape view accompanied by an auto-pivot mode, so you do not have to switch the orientation manually.
All these features and the 16 million colors provide a picture-perfect set up for enjoying movies or reading a text without straining your eyes too much. This is an overall quality purchase for anyone who does not want to reach too deep into their pockets but still wants a good monitor to have when traveling.
4. GeChic 2501C 15.6 Inch Portable Monitor with HDMI
Moving straight to our priciest pick from the list, the GeChic 2501C is an impressive portable monitor, which combines power and style in a sleek modern package. Simple Plug&Play installation means no additional drivers needed, just connect via USB for power and data, choose your video input and you would be good to go.
Unlike others on this list, this monitor uses Real Video input, meaning no Full HD, which does not necessarily do justice to the 1080p content out there, but on the other hand, makes for a lag-free picture – an ideal gaming environment.
Extending your display to this monitor will prove to be highly beneficial for any photographer, IT technician and web designer alike, because of its clear and sharp image representation that complements of 400:1 contrast and a variety of viewing angles.
In addition, the 2501C is lightweight and thin, ideal for easy transport, and a perfect fit for any laptop bag. Being a high end buy, this USB monitor does not disappoint, meets all the requirements for an extra screen and delivers a terrific viewing experience.
5. AOC e1659Fwu 16 Inch Ultra Slim Portable Monitor
To conclude, our top 5 list is the AOC e1659Fwu. Another fantastic pick, presented by AOC, the 16-inch LED LCD portable monitor with 500:1 contrast ratio sports a sleek and classy design, appropriate for any occasion, work or leisure. Cable management will not be a problem here, since the monitor is powered by 3.0 USB, making for an easy Plug&Play installation via a single cable.
You might also be interested in the AOC I1601FWUX, which we reviewed here.
At 5ms response time, this is a crisp gaming solution for the lag-free experience. Even though no protective sleeve or case is included with the standard packaging, the display is lightweight and slim, easily portable inside any laptop bag and it perfect for frequent travelers and businessmen.
Moreover, flexi-stand and a wall mount are included, so you can set the monitor up on your wall with ease as long as you have the right wall arm and bracket. Also, this would be quite beneficial as the auto-pivot feature recognizes the switch from landscape to portrait view and adjusts accordingly.
With those features, anyone can have a multi-display set up just like in The Matrix, without the awful cable management now, and not in the distant sci-fi future. As the cheapest USB monitor on the market today, the LOC e1659Fwu is a perfect budget solution for the productivity ninjas looking for an extra monitor or two to double their work capacity.
What to Consider When Buying a Portable Monitor
Now that we have looked through a list of great options for any activity, you might consider while traveling, let us focus on the key features to consider when buying a portable USB monitor.
Monitor Resolution
Obviously, the resolution is key when looking into buying a portable monitor. You would not want to be stuck with a pixelated screen, worse than your laptop's, when extending your display or when you buy monitor meant to help you have a multi-display in a business meeting so you don't have to constantly rotate your laptop from one person or another to share your screen.
Even if you are looking for some entertainment, it is crucial that the display does not strain your eyes, so look for at least a 720p HD resolution when on the market for a portable monitor.
Monitor Weight
Another key factor to consider when you decide to invest in a USB monitor is its weight. We do not want only "moveable", we want "portable". Many great displays on the market are bulky and hard to carry around and you should not pay for extra baggage on your flight or have an inconvenience transporting your monitor.
Instead, it should be a sleek tablet-like accessory, which should serve all your needs and help you achieve optimal results, while not being too much trouble carrying it around.
Monitor Panel Display Type
While still a niche product, portable USB monitors have come a long way in terms of implemented technologies, so take into consideration the type of the monitor panel as you would a normal display for your desktop PC.
If you are an editor, designer or photographer who is constantly on the road, there are IPS panel options, which offer great quality for such a small display and can present vibrant colors with great contrast.
On the other hand, gamers who are traveling and have long layovers, or pro gamers who are looking to get a few matches between official games, can get a good number of TN displays with low response time for a portable monitor. Pack your console and display in your backpack and you are good to go to take on the competition.
Monitor Connectivity
We are talking about USB portable monitors after all, but even if you look into the best USB monitor, you should also be aware of other connectivity types. Many models offer other connections like HDMI or VGA. It is important to get to have at least one other type of connection on your portable monitor.
If you are doing a presentation, for example, and your USB ports are all full you can connect an HDMI to a larger screen or even a VGA port to a desktop computer, if you are a technician trying to fix a computer.
Even gamers run out of USB ports and even USB cables once they connect their controllers to a laptop when they get together, so having the option to connect the monitor another way is always a plus.
Gaming, photography, presentations, casual evening watching a movie or just constant traveling, portable monitors have become a great addition for anyone looking to expand their toolkit and whoever wants to improve their work environment outside of the office.
GAEMS are well known for their gaming solutions, so look no further if you are looking to take your games to the next level. On the other hand, when choosing a stylish device, which you can use daily and present at any formal event while traveling light, any option from LOC or the highly reputable ASUS monitor will be the right choice for any occasion.
