Make a hexagonal-shaped box in several sizes, plain or decorated with stars. These boxes may be used as gift boxes, boxes to store trinkets, party or wedding favors, or as decorative accents in your home.
Three of the boxes are sized to make into a stack and can be nested together for storage. All of the hexagonal boxes are collapsible and store flat. There are also patterns for petal-top boxes.
Related craft: For more collapsible box patterns, checkout the Little Gift Boxes craft project and for rectangular or square shapes see the Collapsible Boxes project.
Choose a box to make. Download and print the pattern. The boxes come in four sizes with four versions of each size—plain colored, plain black and white (B&W), colored with stars and black and white with stars. There are also patterns with red Adinkra symbols on colored or plain backgrounds that coordinate with Aunt Annie's Adinkra Symbols ePaper downloads. See the Petal-Top Hexagon Box pattern page for hexagon boxes with a special petal-top closure.
Patterns are Adobe PDF files. The Adobe Reader is available for free.
All of Aunt Annie's project patterns are designed to be printed on standard letter-size paper (8.5"x11" or A4). When printing from Adobe Reader, you may need to select Auto-Rotate and Center or Choose paper source by PDF page size to ensure the best fit.
Cut out the box pattern on the black outline. Try to make the cuts very straight. The box will be stronger and go together better if the cuts are straight.
Using a straight edge and craft knife will make some of the cutting easier, but be sure to protect the table with a cutting mat or thick piece of cardboard. Caution: Be careful. Craft knives are sharp and should not be used by children.
Tip: Always cut towards an inside corner. Cut one edge leading into an inside corner, then cut the other edge. Do not try to turn the corner and cut out after cutting in on the first edge.
Turn the box with the marked lines up. Score along each of the fold lines, red in this illustration, using a bone folder or empty ballpoint pen drawn along the edge of a ruler.
Fold the box lids, lid flaps, and box flaps on the fold lines. Flatten the box out again.
Fold the glue tab on the black line, then flatten it. Fold each side on the black line, then flatten it.
Tip: Make all of the folds very sharp by running your thumbnail or a bone folder firmly along the fold.
Put glue down the entire length of the glue tab. Shape the sides into a hexagonal shape and glue the tab to the inside of the last side.
To finish the box, fold the bottom flaps in and close the bottom lid over them. Tuck the bottom lid's flap inside the box. Repeat for the top lid.
Tip: You might decorate a plain box by gluing craft ribbon in a band around the sides or by lining the inside of the box.
Tip: To make the box stronger, cut a piece of heavy cardboard the size of the bottom of the box. Put the cardboard in the bottom of the box. Or, you can make the box stronger by gluing the bottom flaps to the bottom lid, and gluing the bottom lid flap inside the box. If you do this, your box will not be collapsible.
That's it! Your hexagonal boxes
are ready to use!

Nesting boxes: The box patterns come in four sizes, including three that nest together or make a pretty stack.
Petal-Top Bonus Patterns
Tip: Use this pattern, in color or black & white, to make a Petal-Top Hexagon Box. See the Petal-Top Box pattern page for additional pattern options.
Instructions: Make the petal-top box like other hexagon boxes, except for closing the box's top. To close the top, fold each petal over, and behind the previous petal, in counter-clockwise sequence. Push down in the center to secure the top.
Tip: The hexagon boxes are collapsible and store flat.
Tip: Make the boxes using decorative cardstock. Print one of Aunt Annie's ePapers onto white cardstock then print the box pattern on the other side.
Tip: Charms like, the little heart on the pink polka-dot boxes, can be made easily with Aunt Annie's Modeling Dough.
Tip: Plain boxes can be easily decorated with ribbon wrapped around the sides—spread a thin coating of white (PVA) glue on the back of the ribbon with a foam brush. This box's lid is decorated with Quilling.
Tip: In the Flexagon Boxed Set craft, make a box to store Hexa-hexaflexagons or to package a gift of flexagons.

Pirtek Racing's Andrew Jordan made a solid start to his 2016 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship campaign at Brands Hatch, picking up a hat-trick of points finishes to leave him well placed in the early season standings.
The season opener marked Andrew's first race weekend at the wheel of his new Motorbase Performance-run Ford Focus, and he fought back well from a challenging qualifying session to put himself firmly in the mix on race day.
Having qualified 14th on the grid in changeable weather conditions on Saturday, Andrew produced a battling drive in the opening race of the weekend to secure eleventh place, despite being hampered by a clash on the first lap and then an issue that left him down on power with his car.
With the team having resolved the problem in time for race two, Andrew was able to show what he could do with the Focus, racing his way through the pack on the soft compound Dunlop tyre to finish just off the podium in fourth; posting the fastest lap of the race in the process.
From sixth on the grid for race three, Andrew survived a lurid slide at turn one that saw his car briefly sideways in front of the field to match his earlier result after a dramatic fight to the line with the Honda of Matt Neal.
Making a move for position out of the final corner, Andrew clinched the place by just 0.037secs and now heads away from the weekend sitting in fifth in the championship standings, just nine points away from top spot.
"After a difficult time in qualifying and then in the opening race, things turned out to be okay in the end," he said. "Whilst we had done quite a bit of testing over the winter, we'd only done limited running in dry conditions so there was an element of learning this weekend, but I feel we got the most we could from races two and three.
"Whenever you move to a new team, you take time to get used to how things work, but I feel I've settled in well with the guys at Motorbase and I would have loved to reward them with a trophy in a first weekend together. Had things gone differently earlier in the weekend, then that might have been possible, but we scored good points when we could and that is what matters when it comes to the season as a whole.
"We know we haven't quite got the ultimate pace in the car at the moment but we aren't far away, and I'm confident that we'll be able to challenge when we head to Donington Park for round two."

Environmental impact study of Lakhra power project conducted
HYDERABAD: The Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (Sepa), regional office Hyderabad, has conducted the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the proposed 660MW coal-fired Lakhra power project at Jamshoro district. The assessment shows improvement in ambient air quality, as well as increased socio-economic benefits to the community in the form of employment and business opportunities, according to a press release.
In a follow-up to the review and public consultation process, a public hearing was conducted by Sepa Sindh on Tuesday at the Lakhra coal power plant site where Sepa Director General Naeem Ahmed Mughal highlighted issues regarding the environmental aspects of the project. These included the issue of waste water, water pollution and its impacts on aquatic bio-diversity of the River Indus, air pollution (dust emission, fly ash and bottom ash), ash handling, disposal practice of hazardous material, and noise pollution.
Mr Mughal said that the management should take the handling and disposal practices of flying ash seriously.
He strictly warned the management to carry out an environmental audit which covers all environmental issues effectively and rectifies the non-compliance of the Sindh Environmental Protection Act (Sepa) 2014.
The management should carry the air dispersion model on fast track, he said. They should also develop the health safety environmental section and provide personal protective equipment to all its workers.
During the public hearings, major environmental concerns have been addressed by the locals of Lakhra and its vicinity, as the coal needed to run the plant is obtained from adjacent Lakhra coal fields.
The dust collector system of the power plant has become older and as a result some particles and gases go out in to the atmosphere and settle down in surrounding areas. The power plant is also not equipped with dust collectors and filter bags, and there are some leakage points in the coal crushing chamber. Also, around 600 tons of flying ash is produced with improper disposal.
The proposed 660MW power plan will be installed on the land adjacent to the existing Lakhra fluidised bed combustion (FBC) power station.
The report also says that the impact on water quality, noise and aquatic environment is within acceptable limits.
The proposed project will bring improvement in ambient air quality as the rehabilitation of the emission controls on the existing plant would facilitate the realisation of the new plant.
A comprehensive environmental management plan has been developed to ensure the implementation of the environmental and social mitigations measures committed in the EIA.

Every mixer wants a clean and clear mix. No matter what genre music you produce – the end result should be clean. Each sound needs a place to live within the frequency spectrum (20Hz-20kHz). Unfortunately, more times than not, our mixes sound muddy. In order to combat the unwanted muddiness, we need to understand what causes mud in a track. In the following tutorial we'll teach you an easy way to get a squeaky clean mix!
Mud is usually a term we use in production to describe something that sounds dirty, muffled or simply too crowded. Most of the times mud is caused by too much low end on bass tracks and/or reverb. It can also be caused by too much low mids (think frequencies in the 250Hz and 500Hz range).
Every instrument you deal with has a fundamental frequency in the 250-500 Hz range. A fundamental frequency is "the lowest frequency produced by the oscillation of the whole of an object, as distinct from the harmonics of higher frequency."
When you play a note there isn't only one frequency present. There are a bunch of harmonics involved. The sound you record, whether it be guitar, piano or a soft synth, is made up of a fundamental frequency combined with harmonics at higher frequencies. The higher frequencies is what helps us distinguish one note from the next.
Now that we understand that all sounds have a fundamental frequency, we can apply that knowledge to our mix. The next time you mix a song think about all the sounds you have. Now think about all those fundamental frequencies fighting for space to live in the 250Hz – 500 Hz range. Obviously we're going to have a huge build-up of frequencies in that range that needs some serious cleanup.
Now that you have a good understanding on what cause muddiness, take a look at this video to see how we manage our low-mid frequencies. You'll be surprised how a simple technique can make a huge difference. All you need is a simple eq and cut any unwanted low end frequencies on sounds that don't really need it anyway! In doing so you'll achieve a clear mix. In turn it will also give breathing room for the bass and kick drum to live happily ever after.

AHL All Star Classic to feature inter-league game with Färjestad BK
by Da lil Guy on 09/10/13 at 12:10 PM ET
Comments (0)
The American Hockey League is apparently looking to build on the hockey connections between Sweden and North America, and build a little rivalry in the process.
The league has announced that this year's AHL All-Star Classic in St. John's NL will feature an inter-league game between a team of AHL stars the SHL's Färjestad BK.
This is a really cool idea, and one that will probably get tongues wagging about increasing the integration between North American and European pro-leagues. No word on any reciprocation by the AHL - but one has to assume that something could be in the works that will see an AHL team head to Sweden at some point.

Location: Sommer's Beach, Tortola
Today was our 7th rotation day. First, we started our day with a hearty breakfast of eggs. Then we went on the Picos and had a treasure hunt: Gryffendor vs. Knot Guilty. Gryffendor was the winner by 20 points! After that, we did ski sports, and Paula did a jump on the wakeboard. Mathis got up on one ski! For lunch, we had tortilla soup, and it was so delicious. After we went on our deep dive down to 70 ft! Then we watched a couple of videos about plastic in the ocean. We definitely have a new perspective now! We had a beach BBQ with the whole program, which was super good. Then we came back to the boat and hung out! It was a really long, but fun day!

External Solid Wall Insulation System Failure Investigations & Design Service
EWI System Failure Investigations
Solid wall and external wall insulation systems have been a popular choice to improve the energy efficiency of buildings for a number of years now but did you know they are failing at an alarming rate?
Malone Associates Ltd have been predicting for a number of years that we would see a high rate of EWI system failures and we are confident that our prediction has proved to be correct. We are published experts in EWI systems so please read 'The Risky Business of Covering Up', which is available Here
We have reviewed a number of systems failures in high rise blocks and have consistently found problems relating to inadequate design, poor installation standards, poor management and storage of site materials and poor detailing around windows and other junction details, so that in effect, the defects are being built in.
We are a leading UK expert in these system failures and can carry out a comprehensive investigation and provide documentary evidence as to the cause of your system failure. Our investigation & report will determine whether the system has been poorly designed, poorly managed & installed or poorly maintained.
EWI System Design Service
We believe that good design is the key to successful EWI installations. We have a detailed knowledge of non-traditional housing and solid walled properties and can carry out a detailed structural assessment in both low rise and high rise stock.
This assessment is critical to understanding what type of EWI system can be safely installed, particularly with regards to reaching a decision on whether a structural or non-structural EWI system should be used. As Chartered Building Engineers with an expertise both in building technology, structural assessment of 'hard to treat' properties and external wall insulation systems, you can be assured of the very best guidance in planning your EWI project. Moreover, if you want our expertise in project managing your EWI installations then you can rest easy that works quality management will be to the highest and exacting standards. Please call us to discuss your EWI project.
What you can expect from an EWI Failure Investigation.
- A thorough desktop review of the building construction type, the EWI system, the system component parts and a check to ensure it meets BBA approval.
- A review of any additional reports provided by the system manufacturers or installers.
- A detailed review of the design process.
- A thermal imaging survey to help pinpoint areas of failure.
- An initial internal investigation of any damp areas to establish whether the cause is penetrating damp and to carry out an initial visual external assessment to easily accessible areas and to collect photographic evidence for further desktop review.
- An assessment of all supplementary factors such as windows, wall fixings, external vents, parapet wall details, sealants etc.
- A detailed invasive site investigation focussed to specific areas as directed from initial survey work. This will involve opening up the render system to assess the severity of failure and the cause.
- Finally, we will provide a detailed written report that includes a photographic defect schedule of our findings, our conclusions as to the cause and responsibility for failure, and detailed recommendations.

Grumbling Fur: New Album Details
Neto Light-Lopez
, March 12th, 2013 13:45
Experimental duo set to be releasing Glynnaestra through new label Thrill Jockey; tour dates below
Daniel O'Sullivan of Ulver and Guapo and Alexander Tucker (imbogodom) have announced that they'll be joining forces again as Grumbling Fur for a new album of psychedelic sonic explorations, Glynnaestra.
The duo "have crafted an avant-pop album assembled as one would a collage," reads the text accompanying the album's release. "This structural foundation is built up via an eclectic array of instruments, both acoustic and modified, to pulsating electronic sounds. ... As their history attests, this is a group unbound from the restrictions of traditionalism and unafraid to shed the pretence of pure abstraction. There's a tradition of subterranean Englishness at play, harking back to This Heat's Deceit and Eno's Another Green World. In their first fully realised album as a duo, the process and texture ripple with a kind of electro-gnosis. Glynnaestra herself (an archaic goddess divined by Tucker and O'Sullivan) presides over the record, transcendent and sphinx like: an apt muse for an album of such lovely and powerful music."
They've recently signed to Thrill Jockey, who will be releasing the record on July 22; in advance of that, the duo will be touring in support of the LP. Their tour dates run as follows.
Wed 27 - Camden Arts Centre, London
Wed 17- Camden Arts Centre, London
Wed 27 - St. Pauls Church, Birmingham w/ Barn Owl and Ex Easter Island Head
Sat 4 - Camden Arts Centre, London
Sat 8 - The Grundy Art, Blackpool

How to Become an Invaluable Employee in 3 Steps
Entrepreneurship: we have heard this word time and time again, but what about Intrapreneurship? Intrapreneurship is applying an entrepreneurial mindset to an employee role. As an employee, many of us have real concerns about being replaced, laid off, or even fired. By employing an intrapreneurial focus to your role, you can become an invaluable employee that the company covets and needs. In an interview on The Dr. Jaime Show, Jodi McLean, author of Intrapreneur: Discover how to be the Irreplaceable Employee shares 3 tips on what it takes to become an Invaluable Employee.
How to Become an Invaluable Employee in 3 Steps
Step 1: Know Your Value
As an intrapreneur, you must approach your employee role as your own business. Companies market their strengths and their unique value to their prospects and customers every single day. That's how businesses fill their pipeline with qualified leads and new customers while keeping their current client base happy. As an employee, you need to shift your focus to thinking about the services that you provide as being your own business, and your one-and-only client is the company that pays you. No one owes you a position or a paycheck, you have to re-earn that revenue stream every day that you come to work.
You must become self-aware so that you can understand your personal marketability that will not only keep your "one-and-only client" happy but also entice potential customers to take notice of you and gain new job opportunities. In order to know your value, make a list of the unique features that you bring to your role. It can be things like tenure, examples of innovative ideas, problem-solving measures, bottom-line sensitivity, and advocacy for the company.
Step 2: Have a Pitch
To become an invaluable employee you should be able to pitch your company to a client. You must understand the customer's problems and the unique solutions that your company solves in order to complete a successful pitch. Having a strong pitch can solve the problem in one short sentence. If your company doesn't already have a corporate pitch, this is your opportunity to step up and show initiative and innovation. Way to be an intrapreneur!

Step 3: Be Brave
Being an intrapreneur requires stepping up and taking a stand and that can be scary. It is important that you internalize and believe in your strengths. You must feel conviction in your value. Market yourself and relentlessly. Make corporate leaders very aware of the value and strategic commitment that you bring to the company. Speak up and be vocal about your successes and hard work. Be brave in marketing yourself to your "one and only" client.
You can be brave by speaking out professionally through the many social media platforms. Try blogging as a method to promote your company. Also, you can be a valuable asset to your company by being prepared for meetings and bringing innovative ideas to share. During annual performance reviews, take charge with well-written and documented examples of projects you have lead up throughout the year. Consider opportunities outside of your department, like having lunch with leaders from different divisions or attending networking events to meet people in your community. Think outside of the job parameters in the company policies when it comes to being brave and speaking up. Thinking outside of the box is part of what makes you an intrapreneur and invaluable employee.

Environmentalists have used the start of the federal election campaign to rally for reef protection outside Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's office on Brisbane's eastside.
They are calling for a halt to a proposed coal terminal expansion and associated 'dredge dump' at Abbot Point in north Queensland.
The group of about 15 protesters dumped a pile of mud outside Mr Rudd's office this morning.
Federal Environment Minister Mark Butler is due to make a decision on the proposal this week.
His office says the official start of the election campaign will not delay the decision.
The expansion would require dumping three million cubic metres of dredge spoil at sea.
But it has strong local support, with more than 600 people rallying in Bowen to show their support for the plan earlier this month.
Groups such as the Bowen Business Chamber and Whitsundays Marketing and Development have described it as critical for the region's economy.
But Australian Marine Conservation Society spokeswoman Felicity Wishart says the Great Barrier Reef is under threat.
"It's a $6 billion tourism asset – it generates 60,000 jobs," she said.
"We want the reef to be an election issue where all politicians from all sides stand up and protect it.
"We know that the dumping of dredge spoil leads to damage to seagrasses, which is the important habitat to dugongs and turtles.
"We know that it damages the reef and we know that the reef is already in poor condition.
"It's been downgraded just in the last couple of weeks by the Minister, by the Department of Environment, saying that its health has gone from moderate to poor.
"We can't afford to continue to put more stress on the reef."

text: It just came to my attention that there are no Canvas-created instructions for parents. Or maybe we don't know where to find them. Has anybody already created their own? Before we embark on creating documentation, instructions and simulations for parents I'd like to get some hints, tips, etc. Does anyone have a course we could copy and start from? Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Democracy is NOT an end; it is a means to fulfill self determination for a group or county but, most importantly, for individuals.
Anti-colonial movements secured national self determination. However, they failed to deliver on the second half of the promise to promote individual self determination with expansive human liberty.
It turns out that democracy does not necessarily support individual self determination. Indeed, "social democracy" is by its very name & results antithetical to individual self determination & self ownership.
Becoming a "slave" to a State run by local people may not be an improvement over being enslaved by colonial masters.

We had to cancel today's WRW holiday party due to inclement weather. However, our hostess has offered a barbeque for us in July if members are interested. July can become crazy with vacations and RWA Nationals, but a cookout could be a fun, low key way to organize an event to get all our WRW friends together to mingle and catch up.
So think about it and let us know if you'd be interested in a July cookout since we missed our opportunity to get together this holiday season. If there's enough interest, we'll post more details in 2014.
Enjoy your day. Be safe.

6 Minute Perfection!
Posted by Jimmy | | Posted on 8:42 PM
I've been going on about cooking eggs and what's the proper way to cook them. I stated about how the 6 minute egg is my favorite way to eat a boiled egg. It is absolutely delicious when cooked right. The yolk is runny and the white is firm.
I've had a few people come up to me and say that their eggs cracked when they put the egg in the boiling water. I normally start off with room temperature eggs but if you're like any normal person, you keep your eggs in the refrigerator and that can cause cracking in the egg when you drop it into boiling water. The egg shell can't take the differences in pressure that's going on inside the egg.
So, I searched for a solution to the problem and a few people had mentioned that you can poke a hole in the shell on the larger end of the egg (normally where there's an egg pocket). Keep in mind you do not want to poke a hole in the egg and start with cold water. Your egg white will run out into the water.
I took a hammer and a nail and proceeded to poke holes in the eggs using the egg carton as a holder. I was trying not to poke a hole in the membrane so the egg white wouldn't run out but as it turns out it didn't matter too much .
Once the holes were punched I put them into boiling water. You can't really see it in the picture but one of the eggs had egg white running out. When you use boiling water the egg white will cook fast enough so not alot of egg white will leak out.
As soon as you put the egg in the water, start your timer for 6 minutes. Once your 6 minutes is up immediately take the eggs out of the water and put them in an ice bath. This will allow that pesky white membrane to seize up and make the eggs easier to peel.
The final product is a perfectly cooked egg. Below is the one egg that ran out and you can see that the egg white running out didn't make much of a difference. Try a 6 minute egg tonight and eat it with some butter toast and jam or straight into your mouth with a little bit of sea salt! Delicious!

Phil Bale is leader of Cardiff Council and is currently guiding the city as it links with neighbouring boroughs to bid for a City Deal. He talks to New Start about super-regions, timebanking and building Cardiff's social economy.
Q. Negotiations are taking place for City Deal funding for the emerging Cardiff capital region. What will the deal mean for the region?
A. Yes, I'm representing the city I was born in at a really exciting time. We are the fastest growing city in Wales and we are making big decisions in terms of planning the future of Cardiff and aligning that with the wider city region in a way that hasn't happened in the past. I have good relations with other local authorities and we are working together on a city region agenda with the Welsh government. The focal point around a City Deal has really galvanised minds and energy.
'There is a history of strong social movements in south Wales
and it's important to do all we can to get the best possible outcomes'
One of first things I was keen to do when I became leader was to re-connect Cardiff with the rest of the UK's city agenda. We need to use the benefits of devolution to Wales for our own advantage and in a UK context. The Wales Act will give fiscal and borrowing powers to Welsh government and allow us to do things that cities in rest of UK are still negotiating.
Q. The Cardiff capital region includes the south Wales valleys, which have some of the highest levels of poverty in the UK.
A. What is it about our region that has such potential, that has the legacy of industry but which is the only part of the UK that in the 1930s was designated an assisted area and is still there today? We recognise that there are real socio-economic challenges in our region and also in our city. We have some of the biggest gaps in terms of life expectancy and opportunity for people within Cardiff and in the wider region. One of things that drives me is that I don't want Cardiff's growth to leave people behind. I want Cardiff and the wider region to grow together.
The City Deal process enables us to take a city region view. Projects in the past may have been driven by strong business or political lobbying, but looking at a whole city region allows a much more balanced view in terms of projects that contribute to the economy and also wider projects around health for example.
Q. How will you ensure that the City Deal reaches into the poorer areas of the capital and the region?
A. The outline we submitted for the City Deal included an infrastructure fund for transport projects and for the business community and also to grow the social economy in Wales and the Cardiff region. There is also a strong 'into work' agenda included too. There are opportunities to look at programmes here that take resources from Welsh government as well as the UK government and pool them at a regional level in a way that we haven't been able to do before. That investment may not take place in Cardiff but may be outside of the city. We are big and mature enough as a city to recognise the collective opportunity of connecting the wider region to address some of those longstanding issues.
I've spoken to the Wales Co-operative Centre to ask if they could provide input into the City Deal process to give us an idea of other projects that may have greater social benefit.
We have also recently formed the Great Western Cities Partnership – with Newport and Bristol – to highlight the scale of the broader western offer in the UK. I'm excited by the opportunities of a city region. If you look at some of the most successful regions – and super regions – they are highlighting their scale and impact. Over summer I spent a week in the Oresund region linking Copenhagen and Malmo. We have to do all we can as a capital region to raise our profile internationally for export and inward investment.
Q. The City Deal calls for projects that uplift GVA. What's your view on the focus of GVA as a measurement of local wealth?
A. Everyone has their different views about how you measure economic activity and success. The City Deal is based around GVA uplift and we have to be mindful that, while there are different ways to measure, we have to get a balance. The social economy will be a part of the City Deal. There is a history of a strong social movements in south Wales and it's important to do all we can to get the best possible outcomes. We have a great legacy in Wales of community organisations: the Miners' Institutes were raised with contributions from local people and the libraries built for community benefit. We need to be able to capture that social benefit in the investment we make in infrastructure and in jobs and skills training. We need to do that so we don't leave people behind. We can set criteria to ensure we monitor the spread of economic wealth and opportunity across the city region.

The vast majority of car accidents are due to human error and the injuries and financial consequences can be life-altering. Most people practice defensive driving behind the wheel but accidents still occur due to careless drivers, intoxicated drivers, and negligent drivers. Property damage and injuries caused by car accidents can incur costs ranging into tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars making it nearly impossible for some victims to financially recover.
The at-fault driver or his or her insurance company may try to deny responsibility, making it more difficult to tal<e your case to court. This is where the experienced attorneys at Radney, Radney & Jackson come in.
We specialize in representing clients who have been injured due to the negligence of others and we work diligently to investigate the facts. If you have been injured in a car accident, we stand firm in representing your best interests.
To learn more about your rights and the potential you have for compensation, contact the attorneys of Radney, Radney & Jacl<son at (256) 234-2547 for a free consultation.

Mount Richardson 3084 m, Banff National Park
Click photos to enlarge
Mount Richardson from the summit of Mount Redoubt
Mount Richardson 3086 m, rises high in the Skoki area near Lake Louise. The ascent is mainly a long hike, and grants views of the distant Goodsirs and Sir Donald (I think I saw it!), but even better views of big Lake Louise peaks like Mounts Lefroy and Victoria that lie across the valley. You can do this as a day trip, but many parties camp at Hidden Lake and spend time hiking, scrambling and exploring the alpine surroundings. When the body needs a rest, you can always go fishing in the lakes nearby. Hardy souls may even try taking a dip in the frigid waters.
Lake Louise group from Mount Richardson. There are many fine mountaineering objectives in this select group of summits and a few good scrambles too. Five peaks in the area are over 11,000' (3353m) high.

Dream word – ROCK
Ezekiel 28:14
"You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones." NKJV.
Stones of fire
The old Celtic legend says, that this particular saint had power over wild beasts, and in particular, had power over a "chrysalids" type of gigantic cow, which was of use to him as a kind of ancient, all in one, U-Haul and milk truck. This particular cow had the care and oversight of a wild wolf who one day came and prostrated himself before the saint, repentant and forlorn, as a passing King had killed his charge for food. The King, having placed pieces of the cow in a cooking pot, despite the fierceness of the fires set under it could not get the water to boil! Thus the king, discerning both the power of God and their culpability in killing the saint's large cow, eventually also came, and like the wolf, prostrated himself before the saint, as he and his entourage sought both his forgiveness and his protection from God's wrath. These two things, St Brynach provided, and to prove the efficacy of his word, Brynach raised the giant cow from the dead, restoring him to the care of the wild wolf. For such devoutness, magnanimity and power, the king gave St Brynach land for a monastery and church and also freedom from taxation to boot, and frankly, who wouldn't! Interestingly, it was this same given land, to which an angel of the Lord had previously directed Brynach to proceed to, as he was praying on the mount of his visitation. This mount is now named, Carn Ingli, or the Mount of Angels. Yes, this marvellous and still mystical region in the West of Wales, from which the magical and healing blue rocks of the Neolithic masterpiece we have come to know as Stonehenge were once hewn and quarried, was apparently first footed and owned by the angels and became to all spiritual peoples, a listening post, a meeting place, indeed, a sacred place of practical business between the material and spiritual realms. Wales is a strange place!
In noting God's delight in all things material, I have observed from the Scripture, God's particular fascination and delight with untouched stone, stone shaped only by those four distinct tools at His command and in His hand. That is, time and water, wind and weather. The Celts might have said that "These four Divine tools, make shapes among the rocks and amidst the standing stones, and in forming an interface between the spiritual and material realms, they scoop out conduits of power, make places of interaction and interface, and allow heaven to touch the earth!"
In the same way dear friends, God takes the passing of time, the wind of adversity, the water of His sanctification and the weather of our journey, to rightly shape His living stones of healing, His present saints, the church of His own dear Son, to change them into a listening post, even a proclaiming place of power, where heaven can touch the earth once more. Surely, when the living healing stones of Christ and the Holy priests of the Most High God, gather in the standing circle of His love, surely then, from within that sacred place and out of that true and magical Royal Blue Kingdom of the Son, anything is possible and anything can happen? From there, maybe even wolves could begin to care for giant cows once more and the Kings of the earth might come to us again, for healing, for protection, for power and for provision.
Stonehenge is being excavated once more, so that it's secrets may be found, whilst the church IN these ancient lands and of these ancient lands, continues in its horrific decline into uncared for and unheeded "laughability". It is time that the spiritual and the material once again meet together in the church of the living God.
Listen: "But He answered and said to them, 'I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out'." - Luke 19:40 NKJV.
Pray: So set a fire underneath Your standing stones O God, the heat of which would crack open our clam like mouths to speak forth the sweetest of praise to the greatest of names on the earth, under the earth and in the earth and in that great name of heaven we so confidently and rightly pray to you and shout out tonight. Jesus!

Focus Features has unveiled the first Beasts of No Nation image from True Detective director Cary Fukunaga's upcoming child soldier drama. Fukunaga also wrote the pic, which is based on author Uzodinma Iweala's novel of the same name and revolves around a young boy who is forced to join a unit of mercenary fighters when a civil war erupts in his West African country. Idris Elba, who is also a producer on the film, plays the army's terrifying commander, and judging by this first-look image he appears to be rather imposing. Though many may just know Fukunaga as the director of all eight True Detective episodes, his past two features, Jane Eyre and Sin Nombre, have been excellent, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing his passion project Beasts of No Nation realized on the big screen.
Hit the jump to take a look at the first Beasts of No Nation image. The film is currently in production in Ghana.
Image via Deadline.
Here's the synopsis for Iweala's novel:
In this stunning debut novel, Agu, a young boy in an unnamed West African nation, is recruited into a unit of guerrilla fighters as civil war engulfs his country. Haunted by his father's own death at the hands of militants, Agu is vulnerable to the dangerous yet paternal nature of his new commander. While the war rages on, Agu becomes increasingly divorced from the life he had known before the conflict started—a life of school friends, church services, and time with his family still intact.
In a powerful, strikingly original voice that vividly captures Agu's youth and confusion, Uzodinma Iweala has produced a harrowing, inventive, and deeply affecting novel. [BN.com]

The R24 release of 3D InterOp is now available for download. Although they are available online, not everyone pours over the 3D InterOp Release Notes for R24 like we might hope. What follows is a shorter summary of what's new in 3D InterOp Suite R24. The description of what's new falls into three areas; new products, functional enhancements, and platform changes.
Addressing the first, 'new products' area, several additions are included in the R24 release of 3D InterOp. 3D InterOp Graphical now provides the ability to import Solid Edge files. In addition, the new Solid Edge Reader Component allows the import of product structure or exact geometry. The Solid Edge Reader Component is also available as a Direct translator or a Parasolid kernel-based translator. Still on the subject of expanded graphical import, the STEP Graphical Component in 3D InterOp now supports importing graphical PMI from STEP files.
Beyond data translation, many applications have a need to publish graphical data. 3D InterOp Graphical now provides support for writing 3D PDF files. This provides an easy way to distribute 3D information to an audience using the ubiquitous Adobe PDF Reader.
The second area describes the functional enhancements in the R24 release. This is by far the largest area with significant enhancements to every translator. As with each release, 3D InterOp R24 includes faster performance for every translator, especially for large multi-body parts. By leveraging the benefits of multi-processing, most applications should see up to 40% faster translation.
One of the unique characteristics of 3D InterOp translators is the ability to import the various data types as independent chapters of a book. Applications can selectively access product structure, graphical data, geometry, or PMI information. This offers tremendous flexibility to application developers. However, once an application imports data, R24 provides the ability to associate information between these different 'data buckets'. For example, applications can relate PMI information with the Geometry that's associated with a given GEOMTOL. Or functionality can be presented which allows a user to associate (or link) the graphical display with the associated PMI information highlighted. In other words, this new functionality provides full associativity with owning model geometry and datum / datum targets enabling the applications to walk from graphical PMI to semantic PMI similar to originating source CAD system.
Figure 1: Linking between Graphical PMI and Mechanical/Semantic PMI
Several of the translators now allow the import of materials properties. Material properties could include name, density, or strength. This is now supported in the CATIA V5, NX, Creo, SolidWorks, and Inventor Reader Components. For even more flexibility, the CATIA V5, NX, Creo, and SolidWorks Reader Components now support User Defined Attributes (UDA). This allows applications to import custom name and value pairs.
Although platform changes are not the biggest news, they tend to affect the largest number of users. Mac OS X has changed significantly for this release. The product is now available as 64-bit binaries with the architecture name 'macos_a64'. This new 64-bit support replaces the previous 32-bit support. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 support was upgraded to Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (SP1). Additionally, 3D InterOp now supports the Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 32-bit compiler and Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 64-bit compiler on the Windows 32/64-bit (excluding Windows XP) operating systems.
R24 marks the beginning of depreciation for the gcc 4.1.2 (RHEL 4.0 OS), VS 2005 for (Microsoft Windows), and IBM VisualAge C++ 10.1 (Microsoft Windows) compilers. R24 is the last version that supports Windows Vista, Windows XP, as well as the VS 2008 compiler.
Hopefully, this overview has piqued your curiosity to learn more about the R24 release of 3D InterOp Suite. The best resource to see more detail is the 3D InterOp Release Notes for R24.

"Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully." ~I Peter 5:7
Why is it we feel we need to minimize our pain? Where did we get the idea that we would become a burden to God? How did we come to believe that it is unspiritual to admit that we have been a victim of something awful? Abuse, violence, the death of a loved one, the loss of employment, vicious gossip, divorce, unfaithfulness, a bad accident, incarceration, war. God cares when we have suffered as the result of something being done to us. And God cares when we have suffered from trauma as the result of something not happening. When love, safety and security from those we trust is missing, we get trauma in the form of abandonment, unfaithfulness, embezzlement, betrayal, gossip or neglect. And to pretend that we are not affected and everything is fine is to only add to the damage left in trauma's wake. It is not spiritual to "tough it out." It is spiritual to be healed. Peter is pleading with us to cast all of our cares onto Jesus. His whole book speaks about the suffering of Jesus and how He understands our suffering. And here Peter assures us that Jesus "cares for you." He cares for you with deep affection. Today, bring your pain to Jesus. Tell Him about your trauma. Ask Him to give you strength, forgiveness, peace and a deep understanding of love. Ask Him to heal your broken heart; heal your deep wounds of grief and anger. Bring all of your cares. Cast them on Him. And leave them there with Him.
Father God, Abba, I come to You. I come to You with all my burdens, all my cares. You know my pain. You know my suffering. I bring it all to You. Heal my hurts. Heal my heart. Return me to joy, I pray ~Amen!
Yours, because we're His,

Strange Broken GUI
Sometimes if wait for a long while, the screen gui fully loads ok. However, the gui is not usable and seems to be hung.
This definitely doesn't look good. It looks either as if there's an error within the rendering process, or the common problem that on some systems, the Electron caches fail during a switch of the underlying system. So two suggestions:
- First, please make sure to check whether or not there are errors displayed in the dev console. If you cannot activate the debug mode, set the respective setting in the config.json to "true" (it's in your user data's folder).
- Also, try clearing out the full user data folder (after backing up the important files, obviously: config.json, stats.json, custom.css, tags.json, targets.json and user.dic
But it really looks like a cache issue due to the fact that the toolbar icon font is not even loaded
Ok. Turns out there was a "bad" document. It was a document full of html. Perhaps the html was malformed or something.
Anyway deleted the document and zettlr seems to load alright except for the usual pause. Hopefully this pause can be significantly reduced in the next zettlr iteration.
While I think I managed to reduce the loading time, I think especially with older file systems (non-SSD) it will still take a little bit of time as there's still no caching. That will need some more time as there's a lot of stuff involved
But it's good to hear that the issue has been resolved -- albeit Zettlr shouldn't die simply due to a document full of HTML -- normally it should never parse that o.O

What's New in 2.7On the backend, those who upgrade to 2.7 will see an overhaul of the administrative interface of WordPress as well. Automattic, the company behind WordPress' development, has made major changes to the administrative interface including cleaning up the menu structure by categorizing like items in a much more logically laid out system. As can be seen in the screenshot below, commonly used options are exposed using collapse/expand menus on the vertical bar on the left. We think that the post draft screen is much more concise and uncluttered.
WordPress 2.7 Interface
Additionally, WordPress administrators can also find and install WordPress plug-ins from the blog administration page. With prior versions, installing plug-ins involved downloading a file, uploading it via FTP and activating the plug-in through the admin interface. WordPress 2.7 will also feature time-savers for blog authors and administrators. Users will be able to conduct bulk edits on posts and will be able to reply to comments from the admin interface, rather than having to navigate to the individual post's comment section. It is likely that your WordPress theme will need to be tweaked to accommodate WordPress 2.7. Namely, the threaded comments will likely cause problems initially for many existing WordPress 2.6 themes.

Light Drinking May Boost Breast Cancer Survival
Sponsored adThis sponsor paid to have this advertisement placed in this section.
Booze and breast cancer may not be such a lethal combination, a new study finds. Past studies have suggested that drinking can boost the risk of developing breast cancer. But new research, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, suggests that drinking moderately before or after diagnosis does not create an added health risk, and may even have some cardiovascular benefits. "Moderate alcohol consumption before or after breast cancer diagnosis is not associated with an increased risk of death from breast cancer," says Polly A. Newcomb, lead author and researcher at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. Researchers studied alcohol intake before and after diagnosis for 4,881 women with breast cancer. They found that survival was similar for women who drank after diagnosis compared to those who abstained. The also found that those who drank moderately before getting cancer, had a lower risk of dying from breast cancer or cardiovascular disease. According to the authors, cardiovascular disease is becoming more common among breast cancer survivors. Though the results are good news for moderate drinkers, the authors note that this study is observational, and other factors—such as healthy lifestyle—may impact the results.

Rethinking How Students Learn: Teach Less, Learn More
I know, this blog is turning into the "Rethinking How Students Learn" blog lately. My apologies, but I like reflecting on what I'm reading and I hope you're enjoying reading the posts. By all means, don't be passive; chime in with some comments if you please.
The country of Singapore has undertaken a massive initiative, with four key "visions," that will help them take education to the next level – "21st century learning." They are:
- Thinking Schools, Learning Nation.
- Teach Less, Learn More.
- Tight, Loose, Tight.
- Professional Learning Communities (as discussed in my last post)
"Thinking Schools, Learning Nation" is about fostering in students a core set of life skills (thinking, creating, problem solving, collaboration, wonderment, tolerance for ambiguity, and persistence). "Wonderment" and "tolerance for ambiguity" are two characteristics not often included in 21st century skills, but I find them intriguing – and may just have to revisit them in a future post!
The "Teach Less, Learn More" is closely related to the first vision and promotes "teaching in ways that help students learn without being taught." It seems paradoxical at first glance; how will my students learn if I don't teach them? The truth is, when we provide students an essential question and allow them to explore the potential answers, we are building in them skills that will make them lifelong learners. As stated in the book:
The change process is about evolutionary thinking, not revolutionary thinking, and it all begins with critical collaborative conversations. While their system has traditionally compartmentalized the curriculum by disciplines that honor quantity…they find that this structure can be deliberately shifted to…honor the quality of student outcomes.
"Tight Loose Tight," is also very intriguing approach. According to the authors of this chapter, Robin Fogarty and Brian M. Pete:
The T-L-T formula combines an adherence to central design principles (tight) with expected accommodations to the needs, resources, constraints, and particularities that occur in any school or district (loose), when these don't conflict with the theoretical framework (tight) and, ultimately, with the stated goals and desired results.
The best part of the T-L-T philosophy is the message that schools CAN evolve without sacrificing the educational philosophy and characteristics that have defined them in years past. As a school, we can still promote rigorous learning, quality leadership skills, and compassionate service to others. We just have to figure out how to do it in a 21st century context – for our students' sakes.
That's where the PLC (the fourth Singaporean vision) comes into play. If we (the teachers) work together as a team, through various scopes and methods, we can achieve success for our students, our school community, state, nation, and the world.
With our help, Heritage Hall students will continue to learn, to lead, and to serve…the world…in the 21st Century and beyond.
Heritage Hall Launches "Evolution 21!"
"Strange things are afoot at the Circle K." [Keanu Reeves as Ted Theodore Logan in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure]
I wouldn't say strange things are afoot at Heritage Hall, but they certainly are new and exciting. A group of Charger educators has been tasked with preserving the best elements of our traditional education while exploring new and innovative ways to prepare the students of the 21st century. This blog will serve to chart our course as we blaze new trails to the future of learning.
To further quote the 80's movie classic, "Greetings, my excellent friends," and welcome to the official Blog of the e21 Team at Heritage Hall.

Meetings industry is recognized to be the most important one in the world. It has had a tremendous influence on development potential in Poland recent years. Poland Meeting Destination conference finished not long ago. During some discussion panels delegates were answering questions about a current position of the meeting sector, business tourism connected with it, the role of the sector for a county's economy and also its influence on the image of Poland. The subject of organizing meetings and conferences in Poland is the one treated very seriously.
Organizers of meetings and conferences in Poland are invited by professional organizations such as Association of Conferences and Congresses inPoland which is the oldest organization of that kind Poland. The association operates through lobbying which is good for development of conference services in Poland. It is also an advocate which protects the businesses of professional congress organizers. It works on the international area - it is a co-founder of European Federation EFAPCO.
Conference organizer in Poland more information
The industry of meetings, including the conference organization, is a very strong element of economy in well developed countries. Both congresses as well as conferences, exhibitions, trade fairs and other business meetings makeup about 3-6% of GDP in western countries. Polish meeting industry is definitely smaller though it generates multimillion turnovers and it provides dozen thousands of jobs. The industry is considered to be as one of the sectors of the future not only by the conference organizers in Poland themselves but by specialists.
Infrastructure in Poland is not only hotels, restaurants, professional transport services, catering services but all different variety of entertainment. There is rich and strong online infrastructure, for example very well operating online program called SYSKONF where you can register members of conferences, congresses, trainings or other events. A very easy administration panel makes that every conference organizer in Poland is able to deal with the system service. It also allows making a registration in many languages, collect charges, diversify prices or other options for particular participants, printing ID badges or issuing invoices.
Conference organizer in Poland
There are many professional centers which deal with conferences and congresses in Poland. ICE KRAKÓW is one of the business and cultural cards of Cracow. It is located just in the heart of the city, but it is not the only one reason why it is used by many conference organizers in Poland. There are many events held like congresses, symposiums, business meetings, cultural events – such as concerts, opera spectacles, theatre and ballet performance and even social events. ICE KRAKÓW has got 4 rooms where Auditorium Hall is prepared to hold up to 1915 guests, Theatre Hall for 600 guests, Small Hall for 300 guests. The place is one of many examples which proves that Poland has got high quality congress infrastructure.

When we first found out that the Mother of the Gremlin was pregnant, we were extremely concerned that the Gremlin himself would not be a very good big brother. This was not in the least because the Gremlin is a picky, bossy tyrant of a 5 year-old, but rather from the fact that to function, he requires his life be scheduled to the minute – somewhat akin to Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory.
It was an amazing surprise when the Pickle arrived and the Gremlin … loved him. The best anecdote we have of this to date is the fact that wherever we drive, the Gremlin will always reach over across car seats and hold the Pickle's hand.
Now this is not to say that we have been sitting back and just hoping the Gremlin would magically come to enjoy his brother's company. We had been putting enough time and energy into preparing him for his brother's arrival that had we been alternatively tasked to create alternative energy or create peace in the Middle East, we would have put big oil out of business and be given the Nobel Peace Prize. One of the things we had been talking to him about was if he or his brother got in trouble.
"So buddy, we need you to keep calm more than anything – if you're yelling or whining we can't understand you. But just stay calm and tell us what you saw. You won't get in trouble, and we'll get your brother fixed up, okay?"
We weren't sure if this was soaking in or not until Thursday. Everyone was going about their daily routines – the Father of the Gremlin was diligently working (and by that I mean, writing an update for this site), and the MOTG, Gremlin, and the Pickle were packed in the car on their way to CostCo. They had just pulled onto the expressway when the Gremlin piped up.
"Mumma, you should pull over and take a look at Pickles. I think he has something in his mouth and now he can't breath." The MOTG looked back, and the Gremlin calmly smiled up at her – holding his brother's hand – and there were normal signs of stirring from the Pickle's car seat. The MOTG was skeptical, but the Gremlin seemed very sure.
Once she pulled over and walked around the car, the MOTG did not manage to stay as calm as the Gremlin. The Pickle's face was moving from dark red to purple, and he was swinging and jumping, trying to move in his car seat. The MOTG fished around his mouth, and managed to extract a wood chip that had become lodged in the Pickle's throat. Once it was removed the Pickle began to breath again, right up to when he made a lunge that grabbed the wood chip and tried to again stuff it in his mouth.
The MOTG safely disposed of the wood chip, and made an inspection of the car seat and clothing to ensure no further playground-related items would be able to be inserted into the Pickle's airway. She got back in the car and started down the road.
"Thank you very much for telling me that, buddy, you probably just saved your brother's life." The Gremlin just smiled, and kept holding onto his brother's hand.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Nelson Pitlor would rather be running a successful company and paying off a $200,000 loan from Cuyahoga County than explaining how his business failed.
Pitlor's company, Accessmount, which mounted and removed lighting fixtures, is one of about 60 companies that defaulted on more than $5.8 million in county loans, according to a list provided by the county.
Cuyahoga County issued 87 loans totaling $7.38 million to 62 companies between 2003 to 2013 and has collected only $1.55 million, according to information provided by county officials.
The companies ranged from established firms, such as Accessmount, to start-ups. Some had a run of good business then folded. In nearly every case the entrepreneur and other investors say they also lost money in the venture. Some business owners say they did not understand the process of the loan and did not receive promised help.
More than $5.8 million owed to Cuyahoga County in delinquent loans - see the list.
While the county is now trying to collect on the delinquent loans, officials have said it is unlikely many of the high-risk companies have the money to pay them back.
Before the current executive-council form of county government was formed in 2010, the county-made loans that were "more like grants" and simply written off if they weren't repaid, County Executive Armond Budish has said.
The lackadaisical approach, which began under the former county commissioner form of government, is now under investigation by the county inspector general.
The county loaned millions of dollars to 270 companies over the past decade, but the economic development department had no policies or procedures to keep track of repayments -- and paperwork on many is missing, officials recently said.
80 of 270 Cuyahoga County loans delinquent - and the county lacked paperwork
County officials haven't found any ties to corrupt government officials or contractors, and a cleveland.com review of the companies shows many were small businesses that simply failed.
Take a look at two badly hit programs:
New Product Loan Fund: Fifty-eight of the loans were issued from the low-interest New Product Loan Fund, which was created in 2005, when the county still was administered by three elected commissioners. Less than $200,000 of the $2.4 million loaned has been repaid.
Company owners contacted by cleveland.com said they would have repaid the loans had their companies succeeded. Some also said they received much less support and help than had been promised from Camp Inc., a nonprofit consultant.
"They said 'Don't worry, we'll take care of you,'" said Art Zimmerman, who creates products for motorcycle racers and motorcycle owners and received two loans totaling $99,688. "They never did."
Zimmerman said he needed the loans because banks would not lend him money. But although he still makes and sells parts from his garage, DocZ International never took off. Zimmerman said he barely makes a living and cannot pay off the loan.
North Coast Opportunities Technology Fund: The fund, which was launched in 2008 under the commissioners, provided low-interest loans to high-potential technology companies.
According to the list, none of the $486,500 loaned was repaid.
"The company failed in every way, shape and form," said Robert Conway, who received $76,150 for Body Phyx International, which created equipment to relieve neuromuscular pain such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
He said he and family members put in far more money than the county.
"We were not trying to rip off the county," he said "We all got clobbered."
Cleveland Whiskey, a startup with a proprietary method that hastens the whiskey-making process, is on the list as owing $123,500 received in June 2011. Founder Tom Lix said he began repaying his loan with interest at the beginning of 2017, as required by his loan agreement.
Budish's administration has made changes to try minimize the risk the county faces in its lending. The county now partners with organizations to oversee high-risk loans.
Following are stories of some of the companies that defaulted.
Accessmount LLC: The former Twinsburg company received $200,000 in May 2005. No money has been repaid.
Nelson Pitlor developed the Accessmount system, which mounted and removed fixtures without use of a ladder and replace fixtures without rewiring. It works when the lamp is enclosed and not available for pole-based unscrewing systems.
Pitlor, who now works for Welbilt Food Service, said his company went out of business about five years ago.
He said more than $1 million in investments were lost.
"There is no way to pay the (county) loan," he said. "There really isn't anything left."
Pitlor said the business crashed following the market collapse in 2008.
Aeroclay Inc.: The former Bedford Heights company received $125,000 in December 2010. No money has been repaid.
Aeroclay is based on a Case Western Reserve University researcher's discovery of some novel ways to transform clay into a high-tech substance. The technology uses freeze-drying and polymer additives to turn clay into a versatile material that can be used as an absorbent, insulator or packing material.
The company raised $1 million from investors and received the county loan.
In July 2016 Compadre, a transport packaging design center based in Austin, Texas, obtained an exclusive license to pursue commercial uses for AeroClay, according to refrigeratedfrozenfood.com.
Although Aeroclay will be part of Compadre, CWRU professor David Schiraldi's lab will have a role in the research and development of AeroClay products.
American Innovative Products Inc: The Lakewood company received $15,000 in May 2006, $20,000 in July 2007, $53,000 in November 2008 and $14,560 in June 2009. It owes $102,824.
Walter Berry invented Siphon Flush, a product he hoped would replace toilet flappers. The product created a vacuum in an expandable chamber to force water out of the tank and into the bowl. It prevents leaks and conserves water.
Berry and the company moved to Frisco, Texas, in 2009, according to records. The status of the company is unknown. The website is not functioning, and he could not be reached for comment.
AVN Technologies LLC: The Pepper Pike company received $120,000 in June 2010. No money has been repaid.
The company invented an airway management device that improves the placement of a breathing tube into the trachea.
Inventors were anesthesiologists Dr. Howard Nearman, of University Hospitals, and Dr. Donald Voltz, of Aultman Hospital.
Voltz said the the device has been developed and a patent was issued. He and Nearman are trying to commercialize the device, which is partially robotic. They are also seeking partnerships with a medical device or airway company.
The intent is to repay the loan once the device is marketed, he said.
Body Phyx International: The Fairview Park company received $76,150 in March 2009. No money has been repaid.
Established in 2006, the company developed new technology and equipment to relieve neuromuscular pain such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
While several of the machines are being used at a physical therapy clinic, the company has been dissolved, said Robert Conway.
Caralon Global: The Cleveland company received $125,000 in March 2010. It owes $138,376.
The manufacturer of ultra-thin thermal insulating material operated from July 2009 to June 2015, according to CEO Tim Wojciechowski's LinkedIn profile.
Wojciechowski, now president and CEO of Aatru Medical Corporation, could not be reached for comment.
DocZ International: The Bay Village company received $40,000 in October 2005 and $58,266 in October 2006. It owes $99,688.
The company creates products for motorcycle racers and motorcycle owners.
Owner Art Zimmerman said he originally thought he was applying for a grant, not a loan, and did not receive the help he was promised to make his business grow.
Zimmerman said he operates the company out of his garage and earns little. He said he does not have money to repay the loans.
Future Image Technologies: The North Olmsted company received $14,145 in April 2005, $39,848 in July 2005 and $50,876 in July 2007. It has not repaid any and owes $104,869.
Company owner James Stallman designed the Kickback Kooler, a cooler that doubles as seats and can be used by tailgaters, sports spectators, campers, fishermen, boaters and beachgoers.
In 2015 he launched a Kickstarter campaign. The campaign raised $280 of the $150,000 goal. Another campaign in 2016 raised $3,544 of the $185,000 goal.
Stallman said he never received the help promised by Camp.
"They people involved told me that if it didn't take off they couldn't come after me for the funds," he said. "It is not going anywhere. I spent a lot of my own money."
NeoMed Technologies: The Cleveland company received $40,000 in August 2006 and $60,000 in October 2006. It owes $87.726.
Founder George Coleman developed a system to detect coronary artery disease.
Coleman could not be reached for comment.
Nine Iron Innovations: The Independence company received $59,846 in January 2006. It owes $57,238.
The company offered Verishot Mobile, a golf shot video monitoring, contest, and marketing program for golf courses and event managers.
The company also received funds from other sources, including JumpStart, shut down in 2011, reported Crain's Cleveland Business.
Founder Mike Burkons said at the requests of new investors and stakeholders he left the company and gave up his equity in 2009. He started a similar company, Charitee Golf LLC.
SparkBase: The Cleveland company received $700,000 in July 2013. It owes $557,278.
The company, which developed private label gift and loyalty card programs for the financial and merchant services industries, had raised nearly $9 million from a long list of investors, and received millions in investments, Crains Cleveland Business reported. The company lost clients, ran out of money and went out of business in April 2016.
Sensor Development Corp.: The company, formerly of Strongsville, is now located at Lorain County Community College in Elyria.
It received loans of $59,808 in 2006, $39,888 in 2007 and $45,025 in 2012. It owes $94,274.
Founder and President Nicholas Smilanich said he did not want to comment on the loans.
The company focuses research and development in the agricultural industry. It is developing highly sensitive and selective nanocrystalline tin-oxide sensors to detect minute amounts of gaseous volatile organic compounds.
