 Fujifilm Việt Nam | FUJIFILM SQUARE showroom wins award for excellence “Art of Moment Award” at Mécénat Awards 2018.
FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) has been awarded the award for excellence “Art of Moment Award" at Japan Mécénat Awards 2018, organized by the Association for Corporate Support of the Arts for the activities in which Fujifilm has engaged at FUJIFILM SQUARE*, a multi-purpose showroom run by the company in its headquarter in Tokyo Midtown (Minato Ward, Tokyo). The award was presented in recognition of (1) the management of the FUJIFILM PHOTO SALON (2) the management of the Photo History Museum and (3) the collection and display of Fujifilm Photo Collection.
FUJIFILM SQUARE operates every day** and is free to enter, giving visitors the opportunity to enjoy photographic exhibitions and various other displays. Since the opening of the facility in 2007, more than 1,300 exhibitions were held and total of more than 6 million people from wide variety of ages have visited the facility.
Since the company's founding, Fujifilm has consistently communicated the wonder, joy and emotion of photography, as well as the importance of preserving photographs, in order to preserve and sustain the culture of photography. In 1957, the Fuji Photo Salon opened in Ginza, Tokyo, as a place for high-quality works from both professional and amateur photographers to go on display. Since the 2000s, as the digitalization brought a rapid decline in demand for photographic film, Fujifilm once again declared a commitment to strive for the further enhancement of the culture of photography even as the photographic film industry as a whole stood at a crossroads, promising to continue the company's photography business. In 2007, concurrent with the relocation of the company's headquarters to Tokyo Midtown, the Fuji Photo Salon was renamed FUJIFILM PHOTO SALON, other facilities including the Photo History Museum were added, and the facility reopened as FUJIFILM SQUARE with an expanded exhibition space. FUJIILM SQUARE is now enjoyed by guests of a wide variety of different ages, who come to view a diverse range of exhibitions including not only famous historic photographs but also photographs taken by popular young photographers for social media as well as photographs taken using instax, Fujifilm's popular instant camera system. In addition, FUJIFILM SQUARE holds various events including commentaries on the photographic exhibits. These occasions have proved popular with visitors as a means of deepening their understanding of the works on display.
In 2014, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the company's founding, Fujifilm launched the Fujifilm Photo Collection, a collection of specially selected photographs from each of 101 influential photographers in Japan from the end of Edo period through to the modern day. By exhibiting this unique collection at museums around the country, Fujifilm has helped draw attention to the artistic value of these works while also promoting understanding of the history of photography in Japan.
1) For many years, FUJIFILM SQUARE has exhibited photographs, providing a venue for their appreciation by the public, working to communicate the philosophy that a photographer is an “exhibitor” and those viewing photography are “appreciators of the art”, providing an opportunity for a photographer and viewer to experience an emotional connection through these artworks, thereby contributing to the growing awareness and appreciation of the culture of photography.
2) By creating opportunities for the exhibition of timeless precious photographs, and communicating to “appreciators of the art” in an easily understandable manner appropriate for our times the essence of photography as a means of recording events as well as an artistic medium, FUJIFILM SQUARE is continuing to pursue new possibilities for upholding and further fostering the culture of photography.
FUJIFILM SQUARE contributes to art and culture through various activities but this is not possible through the work of Fujifilm alone. It became possible together with the wonderful photographic works provided by the various exhibitors and many people who come to visit the venue and appreciate photography. Fujifilm is committed to continuing to communicate true value of photography and, through its activities at FUJIILM SQUARE, Fujifilm will continue working to achieve the further development of the culture of photography.
Through the further development of leading-edge, proprietary technology, Fujifilm is striving to provide new value, contributing to the resolution of various social issues, while also being committed to ongoing growth and innovation and will never stop evolving.
* FUJIFILM SQUARE includes not only the FUJIIFILM PHOTO SALON and the Photo History Museum, but also the Touch Fujifilm space where visitors can try out Fujifilm's new photography-related products and the Gallery X, an exhibition space where visitors can experiment with Fujifilm's X Series Premium Digital Cameras. The venue also contains ASTALIFT Roppongi, a directly operated retail outlet where visitors can purchase the full range of Fujifilm's cosmetics and supplements products.
In 1991, the Association for Corporate Support of the Arts founded these awards, which recognize highly beneficial projects by corporations and corporate foundations for the support of the arts, with the aim of encouraging corporate patronage of artistic projects and increasing public interest in these activities.
The awardees are decided on the basis of an evaluation that covers the company's ingenuity and making use of its managerial resources, the involvement of the company in the arts, culture and the wider community, the company's attitude to continuing and expanding the activities, and the activities' degree of importance in contributing to the arts and wider culture.
This year's awards, entitled “This is MECENAT 2018”, attracted 152 entrants. A town of third-party experts selected a total of seven awards, namely, the Grand Mécénat Award, five Awards for excellence and the Award Granted by the Commissioner for Cultural Affairs.

Pine Brook, NJ January 4, 2010 Elusys Therapeutics, Inc. (Elusys), a privately-held biopharmaceutical company, announced today that it has signed a contract potentially totaling up to $143 million to complete the final development, commercial manufacturing and licensure of Anthim, the companys late stage anthrax therapeutic. Funding will be provided by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The first contract year, called the base year, provides $16.8 million of funding with options for additional funding over the following four years. If licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the federal government could buy Anthim for the Strategic National Stockpile under Project Bioshield. Project Bioshield is designed to accelerate the research, development, purchase and availability of effective medical countermeasures for the Strategic National Stockpile.Anthim is being developed by Elusys to treat people stricken by inhaled anthrax and to prevent illness from anthrax.
We are extremely pleased to extend our partnership with BARDA as we move into the final stages of drug development. This is a significant milestone for our company and the Anthim development program, said Elizabeth Posillico, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Elusys Therapeutics. Anthim consistently provides significant survival benefit in the treatment of anthrax infection in animal models and is safe and well-tolerated when administered to human subjects. Anthim has the potential to deliver considerable therapeutic benefit to Americans infected with anthrax in a bioterrorism emergency.
The new contract, one of the largest awarded by BARDA for advanced product development, will support the companys clinical and commercial strategy, including scaling up manufacturing, expanded human safety trials and pivotal, non-clinical effectiveness studies in animals, through FDA licensure. Anthim has been granted Fast-Track status and Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA.
Anthim has been developed under a National Institutes of Health (NIH) contract, using the BARDA Biodefense Medical Countermeasures Development Fund, as well as funding from the Department of Defense and the private sector. Elusys has completed two safety studies in humans, and numerous studies demonstrating safety and efficacy in animal models.
At a recent BARDA Stakeholders Workshop, Elusys reported on data from two animal studies as well as clinical safety studies highlighting the therapeutic potential for Anthim in the treatment of anthrax disease. Using an established non-human primate treatment model, up to 79% of animals treated with a single, intravenous dose of Anthim at the onset of symptoms survived a lethal inhalational challenge with anthrax spores. All animals in this study had confirmed levels of anthrax in their blood at the time of Anthim treatment.
Anthim shows significant survival benefit even when administered days after infection with anthrax spores, added Dr. Leslie Casey, Vice President of Research, Elusys. Importantly, Anthim is a highly effective therapeutic countermeasure with potential to treat antibiotic-resistant strains of anthrax. Anthim can complement and potentially provide added benefit to antibiotic treatment as well.
Elusys also reported results from an animal study that demonstrated that a single dose of Anthim provided up to 94% survival when administered to study subjects after symptoms of disease were present.
The results of these studies are consistent with previously conducted animal studies using Anthim and continue to show the dramatic increase in survival that Anthim can provide. Anthim, given either by intravenous or intramuscular administration, also provides a high level of survival when given immediately after anthrax exposure in animal models.
In two dose-escalating human clinical safety studies, results show Anthim to be safe and well-tolerated at doses at or above the anticipated efficacious dose in humans.
This project is supported with federal funds from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), under Contract No. HHSO100201000026C, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institute of Health (NIH), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), under Contract No. HHSN272200700035C.
Anthim has been extensively studied in multiple models of anthrax infection and has consistently prevented death in 70 100% of animals treated with a single dose of drug. Anthim shows excellent potential as an effective therapeutic for treatment of people infected or exposed to anthrax spores.
Anthim is a high-affinity, humanized and deimmunized monoclonal antibody that targets the protective antigen of B. anthracis and neutralizes the lethal effects of anthrax toxins. It is being developed for prevention and treatment of inhalational anthrax following a biowarfare attack. Prior to this contract, Elusys has received a total of $34 million in government funding for advanced development of Anthim. Funding has been received from HHS, BARDA, NIAID and the Department of Defense.
Elusys Therapeutics, a private company based in Pine Brook, New Jersey, is focused on the development of antibody therapeutics for the treatment of life-threatening disease. Current investors include Essex Woodlands Health Ventures LLC, Invesco Private Capital, Crescendo Ventures, MedImmune Ventures and Pfizer. For more information please visit www.elusys.com.

Iberian and Wasabi are awesome colors. I am sad Wasabi is going away. I wish there were more items in Iberian as red is the best color. Mars Red is not a true red although it looks like it is on the web site.
Unless something was posted and the Color List + News sticky isn't up to date, I don't see Wasabi (Halcyon 200d) noted as one of the announced retiring colors. Wasabi Aether (liner/packing cubes) is to retire.
Has anyone mentioned Verde/Ultraviolet? Those brilliant pops of color in the midst of green are so vernal, like an azalea in bloom. It makes me feel happy.

Eastbound Florida coming down the hill between Union & Kipling. Trap 1: Squad car sits on Pierson Street (south) which cannot be seen until you’ve driven past it. Trap 2: Approaching Kipling, squad car sits in dental parking lot (north).
A cop car will sit in the median and nail Northbound speeders after coming around a simi-blind corner. They trap speeders there more often around the end of the month.
the cops usually wait on the cross roads to the frontage road. The speed limit towards Indiana is 35. They also wait when going east right on top of the hill after you pass the community college. I’ve seen they there before but yesterday there was 5 cops car waiting in a side street and the cop with the radar was on the sidewalk looking like a pedestrian but pointing his radar to everybody comming up the hill.

Raphael, the boys and I are back in Florida, this time for the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. I'm super excited to be among the select bloggers invited and attending the annual event. I've really needed my Disney fix.
Although I've been to Disney World several times before, this is the first time I'm going as a mother with two boys. It's a bit surreal to be their as the parent now. Yes, I know they are not even 6-months-old yet, but it's still thrilling knowing it's their first trip to Disney World. I can't wait to take photos of them with different characters. I went out and bought them even more Disney Baby outfits to wear too. I think for a change, I'm going to go all matchy matchy on them. If not now, when?
We then checked in our bags at the departure airline and once we landed, we simply stepped off the plane with babies in our arms, bypassed baggage claim and caught a bus straight to our hotel. It was like having a Fast Pass through the airport. Disney fairies then grabbed our bags for us and delivered them directly to our room within 3 hours. It was indeed magical! Between our diaper bags and flying with infant twins we already had our hands full. Going back should be even easier as we just check our bags in at the hotel when leaving instead of at the airport, they print our boarding passes too.
We are staying at Disney's Contemporary Resort. Below is the view from our balcony and the Mickey surprise that was waiting for us on the bed.
Stay tuned for more Disney magic and news from the conference, you can also follow my tweets and Instagram profile for the latest and greatest pics and updates as they happen.

The modern life has become such that we all are struggling to achieve some unattainable goals for ourselves and is willing or unwilling participating in a rat race. As a result of this increased competition among each other, the demands also far exceed our means of satisfying those demands. Credit card companies and other financial lenders are taking complete advantage of this huge surge in demand by providing easy loan schemes and ‘buy now pay later’ options to the modern consumer. When an individual discovers that he can purchase all that he wants on the basis on these loan and credit schemes it becomes a way of life for him, until its pay back time. Once the debts have accumulated to a large sum, an individual may find that he is under the burden of multiple debts without any financial means to repay his loans. In such a situation the debt management services UK can come to the rescue of a debtor.
The debt management services UK have helped many debtors relief themselves from the burden of multiple debts through planned financial management and financial support in the form of easy loans. The vendor offering debt management services UK will first analyze the financial status of the individual who has applied for such a service and judge his repayment capability. All the multiple debts of the debtor are then consolidated under a single, payable monthly amount that he can pay back as part of the loan repayment scheme. At times, the debt management service providers will also negotiate with the creditors or lenders on behalf of the debtor in order to reduce or freeze the rates of interest or penalties that have been charged on the loan. Such bargaining and negotiation helps to reduce the amount of debt to be paid back by the borrower, thereby reducing his financial burden.
At times, if the debt amount still seems much beyond the financial capacity of the debtor, the company providing debt management services UK may even arrange for a loan for the individual with the help of which he could easily repay all his multiple debts, consolidated into a single amount. The loan provided to the individual for his debt repayment has a comparatively low rate of interest, which further serves to reduce the burden of debt on him.
So, even if you have given in to the temptation of easy loans and accumulated a massive debt on yourself, then the debt management services UK can help you achieve debt freedom before it is too late. Most of the companies providing such services have their online websites that provide every information on the services. Like in the case of any other financial service, in this case too, you must carry out your own research and judge the services offered by different companies, before selecting a plan that is best suited to your financial state. If you choose wisely then the financial burden of debt can soon be a thing of the past for you.

Are you thinking of filing a personal injury lawsuit in Indiana?
You’ve been in an accident or experienced injury due to the negligence of another person. The hospital bills are mounting, and you have no idea how you will pay them. You’re taking medication for the pain and are unable to work. What should you do? Your first step is to consult with a personal injury attorney who will review your situation and determine the best course of action.
File a Personal Injury Lawsuit or Insurance Claim?
Personal injury comes in many forms: car accidents, falls, defective products, etc. Before filing a lawsuit, you may be advised to check into filing a claim instead. This should occur before a suit is considered.
The claims process consists of a series of negotiations that take place between you and the claims adjuster of the negligent party’s insurance company. The goal is to arrive at a monetary settlement that satisfies both parties. If such an agreement cannot be reached, it’s time to consult with a personal injury attorney to file the suit.
There are a number of reasons why a compromise can’t be reached in a personal injury claim. Perhaps the claims adjuster denies the insured caused the accident or disagrees with the severity of the injuries you sustained. The insurance company may also refuse to pay the monetary amount you are requesting. This is where an accident attorney can help.
Before filing a lawsuit, you should be aware of the costs involved. Often times, a negotiated settlement is preferable to a trial because it saves you money. Trials can also be lengthy, which can result in an interruption in pay due to more time requested off work.
• Costs of acquiring medical records, police reports, witness statements, etc.
It is often tempting to file a suit because you are unhappy with the amount of money offered by the insurance company. This, alone, is not a reason to choose this route. Before making the decision to file, carefully consider the potential costs and time associated with going to court. Some injuries may not be serious enough to merit a trial, and you could wind up spending more than you receive in damages.
Arbitration is another option to consider before filing a personal injury suit. Here, both sides agree to present their case to a third party called an arbiter who then decides the outcome. The costs are much lower than those associated with a trial, and the process doesn’t take as long because the hearing can be set more quickly.
The time limit for filing a personal injury suit is called the statute of limitations. Failing to file before that time limit expires will result in losing your right to sue. If this occurs, you may not re-coop any damages you are seeking.
In the state of Indiana, the statute of limitations is two years. This time limit typically begins on the date the accident occurs. You’ll want to make note of both the time limit and date on which it began when contacting an Indianapolis personal injury attorney.
There is a comparative fault rule in Indiana that applies to injured persons who are found to be partly at fault for the incident or accident that led to his or her injuries. This serves to reduce or eliminate damages, depending on how much fault is assigned the injured person.
Indiana’s comparative fault rule works in this way. Suppose you are driving just over the speed limit when another car turns in front of you, causing impact. It is determined you share 25 percent of the fault, and the other driver is responsible for 75 percent. In this case, the damages you are awarded would be reduced by 25 percent. If your fault is found to be 50 percent or more, you will be prohibited from collecting damages from another at-fault party.
When it comes to automobile accident claims, Indiana is a “fault” or “at-fault” state. This gives an injured party multiple options. The injured person can file a claim with his or her own insurance company, file a claim with another driver’s insurance company, making it a third-party claim, or seek damages in court. In this type of insurance settlement negotiation, the threat of going to court can be used as a bargaining tool even if a lawsuit is never filed. You can always consult with a personal injury attorney who can help you make the right decision.
Before filing any lawsuit, do your homework carefully. An Indianapolis personal injury attorney can provide you with the legal information you’ll need to decide which solution is best for you. The time following an accident or other type of personal injury is always stressful, especially when medical bills are involved, but the decision to file should never be taken lightly. You should consider the situation from all angles before entering into such a costly endeavor. However, if your injuries are serious enough, seeking damages may be the most appropriate route for you to take.
If you have been injured in an accident or incident involving another party, call Goodin Abernathy immediately to learn more about your legal options.

SugarCRM is a manufacturer of CRM software solutions based in the USA, which unveiled its new corporate design in Hanover.
SugarCRM had very few requirements at the start of the project so we had a lot of freedom to develop the basic idea and a design concept. Since a software manufacturer cannot advertise itself with striking exhibits, the visual power of the stand design is very important. At the time of creating the concept, the corporate design was being redeveloped by the parent company in the USA.
In consultation with both the German branch and the headquarter in the USA, we designed a stand system that includes reusable elements and is based on a sustainable approach. When the parent company sent the new corporate design, we adapted the stand concept and added eye-catching red and black areas, which fully harnessed the potential of the new corporate design. Large red illuminated cubes based on the SugarCRM logo add some looseness to the formal structure. The white stools with red cushions are also inspired by the logo.
The system is used at five different trade fairs, at which the only change needed is to adapt the visual framework, consisting of walls and floor, to the respective stand size.
Co-exhibitors and sales partners of SugarCRM offer practical, lively demonstrations of possible applications for the software at info terminals. The focus is on customer communication, so details such as catering play an important role. For example, red tomato soup matching the new corporate colors was served at the stand and became a big hit among visitors and the stand team.

Researchers at Tufts University in Massachusetts have grown a 3D human tissue model that mimics “structural and functional features of the brain” and demonstrates “neural activity”.
That sounds a lot like scientists have figured out how to grow a human brain.
They’ve come close in the past. Brain tissue cells have been grown and cultured in two-dimensional models, but they don’t have the complexity of a natural neural network.
And 3D models that have successfully been grown have, until now, been missing a key ingredient — neurons sourced from living humans.
It’s difficult to convince someone living to part with their brain tissue. But a bit of skin, not so much.
And with advances in stem cell technology, we just took a step down the road toward building a fresh brain out of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that can be taken from many sources, including skin.
iPSCs are created by turning back the clock on cell development to their embryonic-like precursors. They can then be dialled forward again to any cell type — and that includes neurons.
Once you’ve got your neurons, they can be trained to grow on scaffolds made of silk protein and collagen.
Which is exactly, for the first time, what came out of a collaborative effort between engineering and the medical science researchers from Tufts University School of Engineering, Tufts University School of Medicine, the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts, and the Jackson Laboratory.
While others have used iPSCs to create “brain-like organoids”, the Tufts’ brain has a porous structure, which gives neurons crucial oxygenation and nutrients so they can “function in a native state”.
And a “window” in the centre of each 3D matrix allows researchers to visualise the growth, organisation and behaviour of individual cells.
You can let your imagination run wild with thoughts of rogue nations and zombie armies, but scientists are much nobler.
“The growth of neural networks is sustained and very consistent in the 3D tissue models, whether we use cells from healthy individuals or cells from patients with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease,” said William Cantley, from the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts and first author of the study.
Because they can use cells from patients with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other conditions, this breakthrough means they can now study how such diseases start, progress, and respond to treatment.
The team is already thinking about how to make their model more complex, and study the kind of interactions that are involved in signaling, learning and plasticity, and degeneration.
The full report was published today in ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, a journal of the American Chemical Society.

P.S. Friday we have a special guest visiting in honor of Remembrance Day/Veteran’s Day that you won’t want to miss.
Your Turn: What’s the most memorable or touching gift you’ve ever received…not counting God’s most precious gift of his son?
Thank you, Sandra. I just ordered my copy. LOVE this idea.
Oooh, good question. I’m not sure. Sometimes surprise gifts really touch me, just because they’re not for any reason so that kind of makes them special.
I wish I liked to cook! As it is, I barely open my cookbook. LOL Great idea though. Hope it sells amazingly!
Great information, Sandra! I’ll pass on though to friends who like to cook more than me! lol I can’t wait for Friday’s guest!
My most memorable gift would be my family ring that hubby got me last year for Christmas. I’ve never cried before receiving a gift (I’m so not a cryer) but the tears slipped out when I opened my ring last year. Every time I look at it I’m just in awe of the gift my family is to me! My whole life really is represented in that ring. What a blessing!
The most recent precious gift that I received was a nut roll.
Let me explain…5 years ago, I was with some friends, and we were talking about Christmas traditions. I mentioned how I always knew it was 2 days to Christmas because my mother always made her nut roll then. The house smelled wonderful with the rich aroma of Christmas nut roll.
I also mentioned how much I missed it because my mom had passed away a few years before. That year, two days before Christmas, my friend brought me her homemade, unbaked nut roll for me to bake in the oven and fill my house with the aroma of a fond memory. Every year since, my friend makes me a nut roll to bake in my own oven – to remember my mom’s Christmas tradition.
Loree, what a wonderful, precious gift…you had me crying before I even got to the end of your comment.
Eileen, such a beautiful reminder of the true jewels in your life. I still remember how proudly my dad presented my mom with a family ring many, many years ago.
Jackie, yes, feel free to pass the gift along…perhaps they’ll share the results like Loree’s dear friend!
Ha. Really?? :0) Okay, I LOVE recipe books! If only my attempt at the recipes inside them turned out the way they were supposed to…it’s best to keep me out of the kitchen whenever possible, but I have managed to raise two children and one husband and all three are still alive and kicking.
Thanks, Sandra! New food ideas are always welcome. Most memorable or touching gift I’ve received… my brain shut down an hour or so ago for the day, and I’m coming up dry. I know the gifts are there, though!
Let’s put a good spin on this, Sandra… I’m having trouble with a memorable gift because there are so many. I have a great husband! How ’bout the opal ring he gave me for our 25th? Or the birthday he sent me to my parents’ empty house for a day to write? Hmmm… that’s been a long while.
Love them, Janet! What a sweetie!
LOVE the title ‘Novel Morsels’ and the idea is great.
One of the most memorable and touching gifts I ever received was from a young girl I barely new in Cork, Ireland. I was living there putzing about after high school and had been invited to a church family’s home for Christmas day.
The large family (seven children and one on the way) lived out in the country in rather primitive conditions. They had been living in trailer but it had burned down and so the dad had converted an old out building into a home of sorts. The ‘house’ had four rooms — main kitchen/sitting room with a big fireplace and two bedrooms — one for the boys and one for the girls.
They had absolutely NO money. Their Christmas gifts consisted of one solitary item per child purchased at a church ‘jumble’ sale. The kids were thrilled to have visitors on Christmas and proudly showed off their treasured gifts.
The oldest daughter, Jacqueline hugged an Enid Blyton book to her chest, beaming at her good fortune. I’d read a lot of Enid Blyton so we happily bonded over a best-loved author.
One of the children shyly asked what I had gotten for Christmas. Alas, my Christmas parcels hadn’t arrived from home. (I didn’t get them until February!) All the children were very upset that I hadn’t received anything on Christmas and when I admitted I was a little homesick as well, Jacqueline made a surprising sacrifice. She gave me her only Christmas gift — that Enid Blyton book!!!!! I still have it to this day. It reminds me of the pure, selfless spirit of Christmas.
Oh, Kav, what a beautiful story and family. Thank you so much for sharing it.

For some people, the issue of vision is often a great problem, which brings the need of having eye glasses. Long-sightedness, shortsightedness or an allergic reaction in the eye of some sort necessitates the need for eye correction. There are a number of ways that people use to deal with any eye defects such as laser surgery, wearing contact lenses, eye glasses or even using eye drops. Glasses seem to be the most common way people go for, but it is not as easy as it sounds. It requires a lot of consideration to be put in place before buying a pair of spectacles.
The main reason for buying a pair of glasses is to be able to correct a certain defect in your body. Choosing the right eye glasses, therefore, means that you will have to understand what it is that you are suffering from to be able to find just the right glasses. Visiting the optometrist will enable you to know the basic requirements for your eyes and avoid ruining your eyes further by wearing the wrong glasses.
We would all love to have just the perfect glasses that can complement our face and give us a look we desire. In doing this, we also need to consider the amount of money we put into purchasing a pair of glasses. Considering that after some time you will need to go back to the hospital and have the lenses checked or adjusted makes it necessary to avoid spending too much money on buying glasses. While avoiding over spending, do not go for cheap glasses that will not be able to serve you for the required time.
While getting ready for work or any other business, we always make sure that the accessories we wear go hand in hand with our clothes. This is the same principle to consider when purchasing glasses. The frame should complement the shape of your face. Also depending on your lifestyle or place of work, the spectacles should be able to suit your place of work. Avoid going for oversize glasses or those that are too small for your comfort.
Sometimes when buying your glasses, there may be a mix-up and what you get is not really what you had requested. When making a purchase always go to a store that will provide you with a return policy. This will always guarantee that, incase the glasses do not help as such, you can always take them back to be given a different and more efficient one.

When you start up your Maltego client, you are first greeted by the Home page. The Home page includes the Maltego Start Page on the left which includes links to our social media accounts and sometimes important notifications. We general use Twitter to post notifications about new features and we use YouTube to post any new video tutorials that we do. Any critical notifications will be posted directly on this page.
A maximum of 10 transforms will run at once in Maltego XL and a maximum of 5 for other client versions. Additional transforms will be queued until the earlier transforms have completed.
When multiple graphs are opened in the Maltego client, they will each have their own tab above the main graph window. Graphs that have not been saved yet will be displayed as New Graph (number). Once a graph is saved, the display name on the name tag will change to the name under which it was saved. The graph name will be written in bold when changes are made to graph that have not been saved yet.
The Shift Left and Shift Right buttons from the drop down menu can be used to change tab ordering. The other items not described in the image above are used to make a graph tab into its own floating window however these options are rarely used.
2. Lock Layout – Locks all entities that are currently on the graph from moving when transforms return. The new entities that are returned by transforms will still be laid out.
3. Full vs incremental Layouts – This option should be used during collaborative sessions when you want to preserve your graph layout.
5. Hierarchical layout - In hierarchical layout entities are grouped by layers that are stacked on top of each other. Think of this as a tree based layout – like a file manager.
6. Circular layout - Nodes that are most central to the graph (e.g. most links) appear in the middle of circles with the other nodes scattered around it.
7. Organic layout - In organic layout nodes are packed tight together in such a way that the distance between each entity and all the other entities are minimized. The closer the entities are to each other the more connected they are.
9 Freezing the graph – The freeze button is used when you have many nodes that are coming into the graph (e.g. running a lot of transforms on many nodes) and don’t wish for the layout to be constantly updating. By delaying the layout, the application can process transforms faster as it does not need to update the display after every transform. To unfreeze the graph simply press the same button and the graph will resume as normal.
10. Refresh graph – Enabled when your graph is frozen and new entities have been returned. Allows you to manually refresh the graph layout.
The next section in the layout sidebar is under View. Views are used to extract non-obvious information from large graphs – where the analyst cannot see clear relationships by manual inspection of data. Views can be used to determine the size and color of entities based on different properties of the graph. It is possible to write your own views however is beyond the scope of this document. The seven views that come with Maltego out-the-box size entities according to different properties and are explained below.
11. Normal View – When you are zoomed in close to entities, the entity icon will be rendered on the graph. When you zoom out to legend view, each entity is represented by the same sized ball with a color that corresponds to the entity type. This view is the default view when you start a new graph.
12. Diverse decent – this view is probably the most difficult to understand. With diverse decent, entities are sized according to the number of incoming links the entity has. However, incoming links with different grandparent entities are weighted higher. This is better explained with a graph.
17. Ball size by Weight – This will size entities based on the entity’s weight. Some transforms (such as the search engine ones) return a weight field that represents the relevance of the entity. The graph below shows the results of a search engine transform. As you can see from the graph, in block layout, the entities are ordered according to their weight.
18. List View -The List View can be used as an alternative to the above entity views as a way to view the graphs information in a tabular layout. The behaviour of the List View is the same as an entity view. Items selected in the List View will appear in the Detail View. The entity selection behavior and functionality is identical between the entity view and the list view. Changing from "Entity Selection" to "Link Selection" will display all the graph links in a List View instead of the entities.

I thought we'd make a category where we can all share those little tidbits that we enjoy at home with everyone.. like photos of gardens and things of that nature. It's in a separate forum here because everyone may not want to download a bunch of images in the chat forums.
Well.. we all like showing off our holiday snaps, especially when we've been somewhere posh.. this is the spot for those you'd like to share with us.


text: If you're in NYC tomorrow (October 13th), you'll want to head down to Gansevoort St. in the city. Tokidoki will be at Yoyamart for what will certainly be an amazing signing and party. The event will take place from 7PM through 10PM, so get there early and prepare for the fun.

Appleberry, DDS, MS, Eric A. Eric Appleberry was born on February 27, 1941, to Lynton and Valeska B. Appleberry, and took his last breath on January 18, 2017. He was a man who loved his wife, his children, his vegetable garden, his dental profession, and helping others. Eric grew up in the village of Yellow Springs, Ohio, a place and community that remained close to his heart throughout his life. At age 12, just before starting 7th grade, he began working at the Yellow Springs News doing odd jobs as a "printer's devil," and within a year was running the huge 1895 Babcock press. He credited these early years for his later ability to easily "read" his dental patients' mouths upside down and backwards. According to a 1958 newspaper profile, he was known at the print shop for his technical expertise, calm under pressure, impish humor, and feisty spirit. These traits never left him. After graduating from Bryan High School in 1959, Eric attended Ohio State University, where he pursued his future wife Patricia Paxton and his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree with equal dedication and resourcefulness. He and Pat married in 1964 and were soon joined by daughters Jennifer and Nicole. In 1968 Eric entered the United States Air Force; the family was stationed in California then Japan, where daughter Gretchen was born. In 1972 they moved to Ann Arbor, where Eric earned his specialty degree in periodontics at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. He then taught at the University and eventually transitioned into full-time private practice. At home, Eric made time for nightly family dinners, frequently illustrating scientific concepts for his daughters on a seemingly endless series of napkins. He enjoyed playing folk guitar and caring for tropical fish in his 75-gallon saltwater tank. Influenced by his parents' homesteading, Eric and family moved to the countryside east of Ann Arbor where he spent many a happy hour planning and working in their giant garden. He loved taking long runs down dirt roads, soaking in the sights and sounds of the rural landscape. Eric always chose to move forward through challenges with a positive outlook. Even after a spinal cord injury in 1998 left him paralyzed from the chest down, he concentrated on what he could do, not what he couldn't. He recruited friends to help adapt his John Deere tractor with hand controls and a boat-winch-powered seat lift. An avid photographer, he continued to document family gatherings and the beauty of nature. He kept up with a wide circle of friends through the magic of the internet. Eric's wholehearted commitment to serving others took many forms over the years. He was devoted to his patients and meticulous in their care. After his injury made private practice impossible, he found other ways to contribute to his profession and community. He reviewed articles for the Journal of Periodontology and served on the UM Medical School's Institutional Review Board. He volunteered as a member of the Dean's Faculty at the UM School of Dentistry, providing students with a long-term practitioner's perspective. Although he had received a number of awards throughout his career, he felt particularly honored when the periodontal program's graduating class of 2011 selected him for their Faculty Appreciation Award. Eric was a member of the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ann Arbor and served as its treasurer and on multiple committees. He worked with organizations advocating for people with disabilities. In order to give hope and practical advice to others newly facing life with paraplegia, he wrote articles for and helped edit the UM spinal cord injury program's SCI Access newsletter. On toasting occasions, Eric would raise a glass to those unable to be present, through death or otherwise. He believed that those who have died live on in the hearts of the people whose lives they touched. Eric carried in his heart his parents, Lynton and Valeska, and his sister, Valeska Lynne Lindner. Eric is survived by his wife of 52 years, Pat Appleberry; daughters Jennifer Appleberry, Nicole (Craig Bertram) Appleberry, and Gretchen (Dylan) Peters; grandchildren Ian and Kat Peters; brothers Kim (Christine) Appleberry and Brian (Gabrielle Mikula) Appleberry; sister Karen Appleberry; cousins Bill (Marie) Appleberry and Brenda (Michael Walker) Becker; nieces, nephews, extended family, feline soulmate Tarzan, dear friends, and many others who were warmed and inspired by his compassion, generosity, and indomitable spirit. A memorial service will be held on February 18, 2017 at 11:00 am, at the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ann Arbor, 4001 Ann Arbor-Saline Rd., Ann Arbor, MI 48103. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ann Arbor or the Humane Society of Huron Valley, or simply think of Eric as you share an act of kindness in the world.
"An inspiring man. Thanks for letting the world know."

Its always important to have evidence of all our experiences!!
I highly suspect that is me snoring.... I seem to record that a lot when I'm at camp close to the recorder!
Laughter... thanks for the good laugh!
I'm not saying that what you say isn't possible, I just keep it simple. Primates slap the ground for various reasons like getting attention, frustration, and even as a warning when highly agitated so for me it is just typical primate behavior.
Last week when exploring site 2 with a friend we heard a whoop up the ridge from where we were at. He has no interest in what it may have been but did say it sure sounds like a person. Definately not an animal in his words.
Yesterday I went up and wandered around that ridge. I found numerous game trails. The things that caught my eyes the most were in that area of the ridge where we were whooped at I found 2 stick manipulations.
This is the first one that I have found where branches and sticks were weaved together. I was amazed at how it was "put" together. You can see that there is at least 3 different types of branches used. I bet I spent a good 20 minutes just looking at it. Everything natural, but no way I could phathom nature made.
The second was about 200 feet away. This one is about 6 1/2 feet off the ground.
This one kinda spooked me. It was broke off one direction and twisted to about a 45 degree angled from the direction of the break and jammed between two trees. After talking to MOMO64 I know I am gonna go looking for more! Shortly after finding this one I sat down on a log to rest. Just at the limits of my hearing, I could swear I heard an owl. When I got home it hit me that I should not be hearing owls that time of the day. If I am wrong about that someone let me know.
I will be returning to the area in the near future to do some more looking. Any ideas or input is greatly welcome.
The break isn't alarming at all to me...it can happen in nature. BUT what does set off red flags in the lower-second photo, is all the bent over arched trees....don't get me wrong, that can easily be faked /hoaxed/ done intentionally.....and THEN a photo taken. yet I cannot prove that is the case not anymore than a Bigfoot did it.
I do find it highly unusual, more so than the tree break.
even trees that have been uprooted and shoved into the ground TOP-first is supposed to warn you , THIS is their land , this is my power--stay away.
all those bent over trees in your photo -for instance, is a show of strength, and sort of a sign to stay out.....a warning of sorts.
and I don't mean to sound accousary about YOU or your friends faking this......only that it can be done rather easily----the bending over of all the trees.
again I am not saying that is what you did. people see incredible things all the time but it's the case of "I Had to be there to see it---to believe it."
see the site and environment for myself kind of thing. and no I was not there -being honest.
Those up-rooted trees in areas of clear cuts have shown up all over the country and has been debunked as the logging crews doing a victory stand after logging a challenging site. And yes you are correct nature does a lot of things out there that folks want to call bigfoot stuff. This post was from real early in my time here in the group when I was real green. I can't say for sure they were bigfoot related but it gave me a starting point for continued investigation into the area. When it gets fun is when you put a recorder close to a possible manipulation/structure and you get audio on a consistent bases. The it does put a bit more weight into it being legit.
January 8-9th, I put a drop box in the area where I first had what I think was bigfoot activity. I don't do a lot in that area because of accessibility. It does have a pretty large spring on it that has numerous game trails leading into the area. I figured if the game critters use the spring regularly I suspect that Bigfoot would also. It is a deep rugged holler with flat self limestone, with pools for the water to collect in.
It was an interesting review of the audio. The last have of the video I found to be interesting. The subtle and cautious way that was recorded there so much reminds me of the recording I've gotten around camp when we have seen eyes shine, had rocks thrown into camp, or saw silhouettes in the wood line. This is the first time I have recorded it with a drop box set up. Leads to the question: Did they smell my scent on the drop box? For that to happen, I suspect they have a much keener sense of smell than I thought. One thing about research, you always seem to get more questions than answers!
Is there a reason you use the color scheme you do for your sound system Audacity?
Sounds good... meaning you get some good sounds.
It is what audacity uses with their spectrogram settings. The colors can be turned to grey scale but once you get used to using it, it can really help in identifying sounds buy the signatures they leave behind. By the thickness of the signatures can show how close they are etc. Using it as a tool to help see what you are hearing works good for me and gives be a little heads up before I hear a vocal. I review all my audio using audacity.

A host of newfangled wheeled devices unveiled this week offer innovative solutions to urban transport which could fulfill the failed ambitions of the Segway.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, developers showed off several self-balancing wheeled contraptions that aim to provide environmentally friendly short-distance transport, as well as a host of other gadgets: skateboards, roller skates and a variety of scooter-like vehicles.
California startup IO Hawk used the show to launch its "intelligent personal mobility device," a small platform with two wheels and self-balancing technology which can be easily learned "by everyone from a five-year-old to an 81-year-old with muscular dystrophy," said company president John Soibatian.
While the $1,800 device could be viewed as a lightweight Segway -- it weighs just 22 pounds (10 kilograms), Soibatian dismisses parallels to the Segway, which launched in 2002 and never lived up to hype of revolutionizing urban mobility.
"This is not a Segway," he said. "There are no handlebars. You don't look weird. You can pick this up and throw it in your car, take it to work, take it on the train."
The IO Hawk device can travel up to six miles (10 kilometers) per hour. With its balancing gyroscopes that stabilize it, almost anyone can learn to use it in just a few minutes, said Soibatian.
In a similar vein, Chinese-based firm Inmotion highlighted a $2,500 personal transportation device that has sold in the thousands in China.
"It's set up for fun and for personal transportation," said spokesman David Fisher, who demonstrated the vehicle on the CES show floor.
"It travels up to nine miles per hour so you can really fly through parking lots and hallways."
Weighing in at 35 pounds, the Inmotion device can be used both indoors and outdoors and has a range of some 15 miles. It has handlebars reminiscent of the Segway, but they can be removed to carry the vehicle or place it in a car.
Another lightweight transporter, the Hovertrax by US startup Solowheel, is designed for indoor use in places like shopping malls and large workplaces.
The company also has a single-wheeled version for outdoor use which requires a bit more training.
"A lot of people are interested in green transportation," said spokeswoman Joalene Jolivette, who demonstrated the Hovertrax, saying it is "easy to use. You just step on it and go."
From Israeli startup Green Ride, a two-wheeled scooter introduced at CES offers a different solution for those who are looking for a more conventional ride.
"We think this is the next Vespa," said founder and chief executive Ori Dadoosh.
"We appreciate the idea of the Segway, but there were a lot of reasons it didn't work. One was a lack of regulation," which meant it was banned in some cases on sidewalks, streets and public transportation systems, Dadoosh noted.
The Green Ride "personal electric vehicle" looks more like a classic scooter with a futuristic design, but weighs just 44 pounds and can be folded up and carried on a train or into an office.
It is designed for maximum speeds of 15 miles per hour, in conformity with most European regulations for driving without a license. The company plans to launch in Europe later this year, and is looking at selling later in Australia and North America.
Meanwhile French startup Rollkers showed its connected roller skates which can be slipped over shoes to propel users up to six miles per hour.
"They are designed not for a roller skating motion, but to reproduce the natural walking motion," said Rollkers inventor Paul Chavand. "The wheels accelerate this movement."
Also on display was the ZBoard, a weight-sensing electric skateboard with regenerative braking.
California startup Acton showed another set of roller skates called "rocket skates" as well as a three-wheeled scooter than can be folded up and carried.
"We got into this to solve the problem of the last mile," said Acton's Peter Treadway.
"A lot of people use their car because it's too far to get to the train station, we have a lot of gaps in public transportation."

Many divers go off to small, remote islands out in the tropics in order to get their deep sea diving needs met. Alternatively, there are more than a couple of Scuba diving sites in Europe that are worthy of exploration by diving enthusiasts, beginner and experienced. Here are ninth best scuba diving spots in Europe you need to go to if you want to have the diving experience of a lifetime.
You will want to have your camera ready when you go out and dive in at Eddystone Reef. Let the Eddystone Lighthouse guide you out to an underwater landscape filled with incredible reefs and some of the coolest looking fish around. Located in the south of England, Eddystone Reef is one of the best diving site in Europe. Eddystone Reef attracts diving fanatics from all around of the world because of its unique terrain.
Iceland may not be the first location you put on your list of diving sites to visit, but this mysterious land has just as many interesting places to visit above the cliffs as it does below. The water may be frigid but the things you will see understand at Silfra, Thingvellir will leave you spellbound. Bring lots of insulation to keep you warm as you dive, explore and become familiar with the unknown.
This is yet another best scuba diving sites in Europe. The rolling hills of Ireland may be green but if you go out for a dive you will discover that the water off of the coast is green as well. Your view will be crystal clear and the tranquil waters will beckon you to do even more exploring of the Diamond Rocks in Kilkee, Ireland. Prepare to be dazzled by the rhythmic swaying of sea plants and you may even see a few whales swimming by.
Malta is home to one of the very best spots for diving in all of Europe. Scuba diving sites in Malta are restricted to a fairly small area, but there’s plenty of room for divers to skim the surface as well as go deep. You’ll be relaxed as you view the fabulous cliffs that make up Cirkewwa in Malta as the water stays comfortably warm all year.
Croatia may be a small country but its coastline is filled with enough diving destinations to keep diving enthusiasts very well occupied. You will enjoy high visibility levels as you explore Vis Island off of the shores of Croatia. Move slow and be patient as this diving site in Europe is dense with surprises.
Have you ever wanted to explore an underwater wreck and do more than just swim around it? In Cyprus, divers have the opportunity to swim through openings and cracks in the exterior of the sunken ship Zenobia. Plenty of sea creatures have become well acquainted with the wreckage,making their homes within. The blue waters will make it easy for you to see as you move around and learn more about how the ocean can change any man made object over time.
In Scotland, there are more wrecked ships in one location than in any other place in the world. From ships that went down during World War I to more modern wreckages, the bottom of Scapa Flow is made up of the remnants of history. Take deep water exploration to an entirely new level by visiting Scapa Flow.
Near Malta, the Blue Hole of Gozo is another attraction for divers the world over. Partially separated rom the ocean by large cliffs, this dive site is literally a deep pool that you won’t want to resist diving into. The water here is deep and the aquatic life is unlike any you have ever seen elsewhere.
scuba diving spots in Europe so every holiday is memorable.

About Bill: These are exciting times to be a member of the Cascade Bicycle Club! From the new Bicycling Center, programs for youth, expanded ride series and support of the Move Seattle levy, Cascade has become a relevant advocate of cycling in the community. As a candidate for the Board of Directors, I would like to participate in executing their vision and strategic plan.
Living in Shoreline and working in Bellevue, I have found that our network of trails and cycling infrastructure still has a long way to go. I’ve participated in local trail subcommittees and the Shoreline planning commission with special emphasis on urban Multimodal Transportation Planning. We live in an area where traditional transportation simply has no room for expansion, yet the population continues to swell. We have an opportunity to make this area a national model by expanding our relationships with the cities and public agencies to promote cycling as not only recreation, but a comfortable and safe method of transportation.
The rabid attitude of car versus bike in our community needs to change. I am excited to add my business experience, communication skills, perspectives and excitement about cycling in the Northwest to the board.
About Tamara: I am honored to be on the Board of Directors of the Cascade Bicycle Club. After tearing my ACL in 2010, I needed a low impact activity for rehab, started pedaling and found I have a real affinity for cycling. I bought my first road bike in 2011 (and now own three!) and have pedaled thousands of miles in the past five years. I have been on Cascade organized rides including Chilly Hilly, RSVP and Ride Around Washington (RAW) and appreciate the tremendous organization and volunteer spirit within Cascade.
I commute daily from West Seattle to South Lake Union and experience the challenges of what it means to “share the road.” To increase ridership within the community we need to have an environment that is comfortable and safe for everyone, particularly new riders.
I have a special interest in promoting greater diversity within Cascade and the riding community at large. A few years ago I read about the Major Taylor Project, thought it sounded like a great program and started volunteering at Chief Sealth High School. The skills and habits learned by students in ride club are translated to their lives and go much further than cycling. My MTP volunteer experience has been one of the highlights of my association with Cascade and exemplifies the Club’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Richard is a retired tech executive, most recently with Microsoft and earlier with Lotus in Cambridge, MA and Xerox in Palo Alto, CA. He is currently an angel investor helping start-up technology companies develop and grow. He has lived in Seattle for 25 years. Other than cycling, his interests include travel, opera, boating, and he is an avid soccer fan, holding season tickets to the Seattle Sounders.
Richard has been a bike rider his entire life and has been an active club rider in Palo Alto, Boston, and Seattle. Since retiring he has spent 2-3 months each year in France where he rides with French bike clubs. In France he became interested in randonneuring (long distance cycling) and in 2015 he completed the legendary Paris-Brest-Paris, a 1200 km event first run in 1891. He has participated in most of the events offered by Cascade - STP, RSVP, RAW, Flying Wheels, Chilly Hilly, Kitsap Classic - and is a free group ride leader and frequent participant. His favorite recent Cascade experience was volunteering to pre-ride the STP, marking the course for hazards and flagging inaccuracies.
Richard has also done many other types of riding: daily commuting, touring, tandeming, and even tricycling to work when he broke his leg and could not dismount from a bicycle. His fleet includes several folding bikes, a tandem, and a couple of steel classics, but he is most often found these days on a modern carbon fiber bike.
Richard is interested in offering a perspective based on his diversity of club involvement, having seen how a variety of clubs provide different models of a club experience to serve their communities. He is interested in advancing the safety of cyclists on our roads, having witnessed how local culture that respects cycling and legal frameworks such as vulnerable user laws can enhance rider safety. He is also interested in including the growing e-bike community in Cascade. He believes that a strong local bike club that represents all cyclists is essential to helping every cyclist.
I am a life-long cyclist excited to join the board of Cascade Bicycle Club to both participate in and support a club whose mission I believe improves the quality of life in our communities. My own cycling spans racing, touring, and commuting and I realize the benefit of the Club’s hard work every time I saddle up. The Club’s comprehensive approach to serving the community broadly, and cycling specifically, motivates me to join the Board of Directors.
Professionally, I’ve got 20 years’ experience in business consulting, with an extensive background in stakeholder management and operating model design, as well as bringing clarity and order to challenging engagements and a people-focused, empathy-driven approach to problem solving. I have volunteered for the Club in the past, doing maintenance on the fleet of bikes used for kids classes, and I am always excited by the passion of the people that make the Club work.
Off the bike and outside of work, my interests include teaching Nordic skiing, photography, and the quest to make the perfect loaf of sourdough.
Blair enjoyed riding to school, and with friends, growing up in southern California. He stopped riding after college, but then started again in the mid-80s and has been a serious recreational cyclist ever since. He has commuted by bike to both work and volunteer commitments over the years and has ridden with a number of different groups. Currently, he is part of a year-round Saturday riding group and does social/recreational rides several times a week. He has been a regular participant in Cascade’s one day rides such as Chilly Hilly, Flying Wheels, RSVP, HPC, Ride for Major Taylor, and the Red Bell 100. He has also participated in a number of multi-day tours including those offered by Cascade.
Blair spent over 35 years working in the high technology industry designing and building commercial software products and conducting computer science research. His last position was as a software architect at Microsoft. He retired from there in 2011, after 16 years, where he contributed to several major products and research initiatives. Since retiring, he has worked with a number of local charities as both a volunteer and board member. He is currently on the board of Hopelink, serves as the board Secretary, and is on the Finance Committee.
Blair has lived in King County for the past 30 years and has been a member of the Cascade Bicycle Club since the early 1990s. He has been a longtime supporter of Cascade’s educational programs and has volunteered with the Major Taylor Project since 2012. During that time, he has supported the weekly school bike clubs; ridden with the students on longer group rides and cyclocross races; and attended bike maintenance workshops.
He is a strong supporter of Cascade’s role in building a vibrant cycling community and improving access to safe cycling throughout our area. He believes Cascade’s full spectrum of activities including: education programs; advocacy programs; weekly and longer group rides; and community events are all making important contributions in these areas.
Wheels: A hand-built Erickson with lightning bolt lugs that is truly a work of art, found second-hand on Craig's list, and Catherine’s ride for speed and fun. A trusty Specialized with upright handlebars and full fenders for about town and the daily commute.
Rides: Catherine’s daily commute takes her from NE Seattle to South Lake Union via Eastlake or over the north end of Capitol Hill. She tries to get in at least one long ride every weekend, either an organized ride or a casual date with friends. Her favorite Cascade ride so far has been RSVP. This summer, she and her husband have a goal of riding the entire length of the first US Bicycle Route (USBR 10) in the state of Washington, which is on track to be finalized and certified in 2014.
About: As a Cascade Bicycle Club member, volunteer, and community advocate, Catherine is passionate about making our community a safe, fun place for bicycling. Five years ago, she started commuting to work by bike with the help of a Cascade program to encourage individuals to become regular bicycle commuters. Now she uses her bicycle as a primary form of transportation, whether biking to work, running errands by bike, or biking for fun and exercise. She and her husband even have a bike trailer that they call their “San Juan-mobile” for weekend trips to the islands on bikes.
The tragic death of one of Catherine’s PATH coworkers as he was bicycling home from work in South Lake Union that was a real call-to-action to get more involved in advocating for bicycle safety. Catherine participated in the first Advocacy Leadership Institute offered by Cascade and has been instrumental in bringing together a group of large employers in South Lake Union to advocate for programs and infrastructure that will increase safety for bicycling. She is currently working with Seattle Greenways to form the Lake Union Greenways group.
Despite the fact that the Puget Sound region still has a long way to go to make bicycling easy and safe, Catherine loves that every day she shares the road with more cyclists. She believes there is a tremendous opportunity now to increase public support for bicycling and is excited to work with Cascade to help fulfill its vision of creating a community where everyone bicycles.
She enjoys the freedom of biking in cities, mountains, and roads. She has toured the Ciclovia in Bogota, Martha's Vineyard, Maine, El Valle Sagrado in Peru, Wisconsin, the surrounding areas around Popayan-Cauca (where she grew up in Colombia) and as a tourist in Berlin, Paris, DC, NY, and Seattle. She did not own a car until she was 30 years old which taught her to value and enjoy biking, walking and public transportation. She now lives in Spokane, WA which is becoming a bike-friendly city through the hard work of local organizations.

Wheels: Haley is usually seen riding her commuter bike she spray-painted blue with yellow rims, yellow handlebar tape, matching blue & yellow panniers, and a yellow helmet. For longer rides, triathlons, and cyclocross races, she rides her beloved white GT Grade bicycle.
Favorite Rides: Haley mainly rides as a form of commuting to work and around town. Haley has also enjoyed participating in event rides including the Tour de Kitsap Century, STP, Chilly Hilly and 7 Hills of Kirkland. She looks forward to spending more time this year competing in triathlons and cyclocross races. Haley is also racking up quite a bucket list of future rides, including the Black Hills Centennial Trail in South Dakota.
About Haley: Haley grew up on the Eastside graduating from Lake Washington HS in Kirkland. She received her BS in Mathematics and Master in Teaching from Seattle University. After graduating, she spent the next three years teaching high school math at her Alma Mater. Haley then co-founded and is now co-owner of Peddler Brewing Company in Ballard which opened its doors in 2013. Her work there focuses on accounting and finances, customer service, and front-end operations. Working toward safer streets and a more welcoming community for cyclists is not only important to Haley, it is also part of the mission of Peddler Brewing Company. Specifically, she is a leader in the Connect Ballard neighborhood advocacy team and continually seeks ways for Peddler Brewing Company to support the bicycle community. Haley is pleased to be spending most of her work and "free" time focused on her three favorite hobbies: bikes, beer and math.
Haley looks to the day when the only barrier to bicycling in Seattle is the rain, and even that can be overcome with better gear.

I am in my 11th year of commuting by bicycle year-round in Seattle. I've enjoyed seeing our cycling infrastructure grow during this time. However, I think there is more we can do to provide safe cycling infrastructure for members of the community. I'm super passionate about the freedom two wheels gives me to have a energizing commute full of fresh air good for my mind and my body. I also enjoy taking part in Chilly Hilly and other organized or weekend rides with my friends and fellow cyclists. I love the camaraderie inherent in bicycling with friends and even strangers, all enjoying the many benefits for ourselves and our environment. I am excited to help improve cycling infrastructure, adoption and benefits for members working with Cascade bike.
About Margaret: I began riding seriously in Austin, Texas in 1983 with short bike tours and a local century event and continued riding tours and century events in San Diego, Calif. My husband Phil and I met in San Diego, introduced by mutual friends who knew we shared a love of cycling. We enjoyed cycling in San Diego, but the lack of safe bike infrastructure became a real barrier over time for me to access bicycling. Upon arriving in Seattle in the late ‘90’s, we discovered the terrific trails and other bike facilities that opened up this beautiful area for exploration and discovery by bike. Since then, when not riding, I have assisted as a volunteer with advocacy campaigns for transit and climate issues.
Carrie is a personal injury lawyer who earned her Bachelor of Arts from Central Washington University and received her Juris Doctor degree from University of Puget Sound Law School now known as Seattle University School of Law. She grew up in Washington and has always rode a bike.
Carrie has practiced law for almost 25 years representing plaintiffs, and for a short time, defendants. She is a member of the Washington State Bar Association and an Eagle Member of the Washington Association for Justice (WSAJ). She serves on the Client Protection Board and is Special Counsel to the Washington State Bar. She also serves on the Judicial Relations Committee of WSAJ and has served as judge and coordinator for the American Association of Justice Student Trial Advocacy Competition and Seattle University School of Law Appellate Argument Competitions.
Since childhood, Carrie has enjoyed riding bicycles. Riding symbolizes fitness, freedom, and adventure. She participates in triathlons which requires a certain level of fitness. Riding around different areas of Washington represents freedom from work life and stress. Riding around the South of France represents adventure. Being part of Cascade means sharing and promoting cycling to others.
My favorite ride is the Seattle To Portland. It inspires commitment to riding for a reason and demonstrates the idea of cyclists as a community in motion. I’ve done it 12 times so far! I’ve enjoyed RSVP, Flying Wheels, and Chilly Hilly too. I also finished RAMROD, Tour de Blast, and Seattle 2 Spokane, but that’s a different kind of “fun."
I was born here in Seattle and have been riding its streets since I was 9 years old. I have a lifelong passion for cycling that has been cultivated by the opportunities offered by Cascade. Group rides with Cascade have steered my bikes onto roads I would otherwise have never travelled in Spokane, Walla Walla, Bellingham, Camano Island, Olympia, and Tacoma. I even met the love of my life riding with Cascade. My interest, now that my kids are grown and my career has matured, is to give back to Cascade by offering my wisdom, perspective, and expertise.
Professionally I’m currently working as a Technical Project Manager at BECU. That means I influence people to get things done with no authority. So I’m a facilitator, a process analyst, a lean practitioner, a Scrum Master, and a team builder.
Board meetings are all open to the public.

Firm to share research findings on enterprise key issues and offer insights, recommendations on outsourcing.
We believe that talent shortages will continue to become more chronic as demographics and policies combine to exasperate available labor challenges, particularly in the U.S. and Europe.
Talent challenges are starting to create real hardship for enterprises—hampering innovation, delaying implementation of critical projects, and adversely impacting customer service—according to the results of a recent Everest Group survey of global enterprises. Enterprises rank the difficulty of finding, retaining, upskilling and reskilling talent among the three most pressing issues they will face in 2019. Pricing pressures and adapting to shifting business models round out the list.
Everest Group will discuss these insights in a webinar on Thursday, December 13, at 9:00 am CST: “Enterprise Key Issues in Global Sourcing: Exposing Disconnects and Unlocking Opportunities.” There is no charge to participate.
Despite the challenges enterprises face, the majority of respondents to the Everest Group survey (51 percent) viewed 2018 as a great year, and 84 percent expect growth in 2019.
Talent challenges – finding, retaining, upskilling and reskilling – are having a real, negative business impact and lead the list of enterprise key issues for 2019.
The role of the chief digital officer continues to expand. Study participants from both the enterprise and service provider viewpoints reported significantly increased decision making capacity and budgets going into 2019.
In a recent survey, service providers indicated their top technology investments are robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI)/cognitive computing; however, those don’t match enterprises’ top investment priorities, which comprise cloud solutions, automation and big data analytics. Everest Group experts will discuss the mismatch and what it means.
While cost reduction remains a high priority when outsourcing, it’s not in the top two value propositions among survey respondents.

The air quality tests for asbestos have been returned and the presence of asbestos is within the EPA’s “it’s all good” limits. Which is such a relief! I’m giddy glad that we aren’t all breathing through asbestos-lined lungs. The Big Question of the morning is: Is the return of one test (albeit the scariest one) enough to convince us it’s safe to send her to school? None of the mold tests will be back for a few days, no telling about lead and asbestos dust. I heard that the Fire Marshal would be there today. So is one enough? What if we send her back and the place has 9x the legal limit for lead contamination? I’m not particularly interested in using my child’s health to make a show of good faith.
The press knew this afternoon about the results of the asbestos in the air. They didn’t report it until their news programs, of course. Parents weren’t notified until 9:30 last night. There’s something really wrong with that. Again we were notified by email (I replied to the superintendent and reminded him that up this way we don’t all have internet), but the Superintendent did attach PDFs of the reports substantiating the results. He at least as figure out that assertions of safety aren’t enough. I am grateful for that.
There’s been a lot of trouble with the media and the school system’s PR guy. The PR guy keeps saying things like, “…Board of Education said it does regular testing for mold and asbestos levels to ensure the children stay safe.” And we keep saying, “Then where are the records of these tests? If these tests have been done, just show us the results! You could have saved yourself a lot of trouble if this were true just by just showing us the evidence!” And the press never ever questions the PR guy about it. Whatever happened to investigative journalism? I’ve told at least two reporters where to look for proof of that statement – all they have to do is make a phone call.
I’ve missed our little chats.
This entry was posted in EllieIvey, Yarn Miracle and tagged asbestos, ellie, school on April 23, 2015 by emily.
My understanding of lead exposure, is that the lead would have to be ingested (i.e. eating paint chips). I think if they have lead, it’s supposed to be contained, rather than removed.
I think mold exposure is more of an issue over the long term.
It’s nice to read about how vigilant you’re being for the sake of these kids! I grew up going to a super old elementary school with floods in the kindergarten, and vestiges of wood stoves in the classrooms. And yes, asbestos.
Oh yeah – it’s not like they’ve EVER bothered to sand the surface before just painting over it (sand blasting is what caused another Elementary School in the county to be closed for four months while they cleaned up all the weaponized lead paint). But I have found no evidence that the paint was ever sealed properly. The kids do touch the walls and spend a lot of time with their hands in their mouths. Also turns out there’s no hot water in the school.
Wait… All this AND no hot water??!? Who is in charge? What have they done with the money that is supposed to be earmarked for maintence and repairs? Arruugggghhhh!

A fishing vessel had to evacuate one of his sailors in an emergency after he had a serious illness that left him laying down for four days on the high seas.
The news began to run on social networks this Sunday 14-4, when a video recorded from the fishing vessel showed the sailor (apparently Chinese) trying to speak to a camera from the cot in which he was trying to recover in a cabin of the boat.
As can be seen in the images, the sailor had hemorrhages that had to be treated urgently and had been prostrate for several days.
The seaman was traveling in the vessel Soho Maru 58 (registration 0261) of the company Argenova, according to the Chubu website Cholila Online.
After several days at sea convalescing, this Sunday the sailor was disembarked in Puerto Quequén and from there he was transferred to the municipal hospital Dr Emilio Ferreyra, where he was referred to the Cruz Azul clinic in the center of Necochea. Your status is reserved.
In social networks, the attitude that the captain of Soho Maru 58 had in the episode was questioned. The company for which the vessel was fishing, the Galician Argenova, has been flagged on other occasions for irregularities and accidents.
In this context, the Chamber of Shipowners of Fisheries and Freezers of Argentina (CAPECA) analyzed the possible expulsion of the company as a result of an “ethically reprehensible conduct” assumed during the joint negotiations with the Union of United Maritime Workers (SOMU).

Aryballe's NeOse Pro brings objective analysis to the identification and measurement of odours and smells. The NeOse Pro isn't designed to suggest what's a good smell or a bad one, but rather that a standard for a smell has been met. This could be for quality control purposes in a fragrance or to detect fruit ripeness. There's a wide range of opportunities in food, beauty, medical and manufacturing. New car smell anyone?
The NeOse Pro is intended for commercial uses so the hand-held unit won't be on the shelves of stores anytime soon. Businesses will need around $10,000 to get their hands on the device.
