Creative Ways to Get More Out of the Clamps You’ve Got
How to Get the Most Out of Your Clamps
Even though I have dozens of clamps in my workshop, there are still times when I don’t have exactly what I need and it’s time to do some creative clamping.
For example, if I have a piece of loose veneer in the center of a panel, it is nearly impossible to find a clamp with a throat deep enough to reach. My solution is to take a small block of wood and place it on the loose veneer. On top of that, I place a strip of wood that is long enough to reach to the edges of the panel. Then I attach one clamp on either end. As I tighten it up, pressure is applied exactly on the spot I want.
If I’m clamping two boards together, but the biggest clamp I have is not long enough to span the distance, I interlock two shorter clamps turning them into one longer one.
Sometimes one of the most challenging clamping jobs is trying to hold something vertical while I work on the edges. To solve this clamping dilemma I take an adjustable c-clamp and attach it near the bottom edge on both ends. Then clamp the clamps to the tabletop or workbench. This leaves both hands free to work.
On occasion, I’ll create my own clamp by cutting a board on the diagonal, screwing it down to a base and tapping in a wedge to hold the work piece in place.
All of these ideas will be much clearer when you watch the video.

Electronic cigarette advertising expenditures tripled in the United States from $6.4 million in 2011 to $18.3 million in 2012, according to a study by RTI International.
The study, published in the April issue of American Journal of Preventive Medicine, is the first to comprehensively estimate e-cigarette ad expenditures across media channels in the United States. Researchers analyzed data from leading media companies that systematically track ad expenditures for consumer products in magazines, TV, newspapers, radio and the Internet.
“E-cigarette advertising expenditures are focusing heavily on national markets and TV ads, which will likely increase consumer awareness and use of e-cigarettes,” said Annice Kim, Ph.D., senior social scientist at RTI and co-author of the study.
The study found e-cigarette ad expenditures were highest in magazines and TV and lowest in newspapers and on the Internet. The study found e-cigarette magazine ad expenditures increased from $1.4 million in 2011 to $10.8 million in 2012, while TV ad expenditures grew from $3.2 million to $5 million.
Previous research by RTI indicated that adult smokers are receptive to e-cigarette TV ads and report intention to try e-cigarettes after viewing the ads. This research suggests that the increase in e-cigarette ad expenditures, particularly TV ads, will increase the likelihood of awareness and use of e-cigarettes.
The study also found national markets were increasingly targeted; comprising 54.9 percent of e-cigarette ad buys in 2011 and increasing to 87 percent in 2012.
RTI researchers identified more than 80 unique advertised brands; however, blu eCigs, a leading e-cigarette company, accounted for 76.7 percent of all e-cigarette advertising expenditures in 2012.
“Our results suggest that federal-level efforts are needed to track e-cigarette advertising, as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission does not currently require companies to report e-cigarette ad expenditures,” Kim said. “Tobacco companies are required to report their ad expenditures annually to the FTC, but there are no comparable reporting requirements for e-cigarette companies because e-cigarettes are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.”

Gothic architecture is aggressive, dark, tall and at times ominous. That wasn’t by accident, especially in the case of religious architecture. Cathedrals, churches and other religious buildings stood not only as places of worship and business, but as a monument to the religion they served. The spires on the tallest towers reach higher to the kingdom of heaven (if you’re into that sort of thing) and dwarf any worshiper who sets foot inside.
Despite the aggressive appearance and nature of these buildings, they were also designed to let in the light. Amidst the dark recesses of apses, vaulted ceilings and cloisters the stained glass windows let in light, illuminating the space. Huge bursts of color break through the otherwise dark and grim spaces to illuminate the building and in theory, the people inside.
Today we visited the Sao Paulo Cathedral, in the heart of Old Sao Paulo. The timing was perfect and as we exited, the sun began to lower, shooting beams through the stained glass windows—brightening the mosaics, reflecting on the floors and offering a bit of optimism to the many that come to pray. I tried my best to capture a few of the dark spots and present the cathedral in a more illuminated way.
I’m really letting my architecture freak flag fly here in Sao Paulo and I’m totally cool with that.
Sao Paulo by sunset. This place goes on forever on all sides, can’t stop won’t stop.
Neoclassical architecture, never not getting it done. I think the reason it becomes so popular with people is because in every country all over the world, it’s used as a statement by the civic body. It’s intimidating, but welcoming and is meant to impress whomever is exposed to it. Corinthian columns, sweeping archways, huge vaulted ceilings and a careful eye for symmetry can be found in almost every example. Here, the Museu Paulista da Universidade de Sao Paulo had a huge accompanying garden (full of skateboarders) which you often find attached to neoclassical buildings etc., no matter where you are. Creative expression it seems, is far more universal than language…which we’re all finding quickly because none of us can fluently speak Portugese.
Walked through Batman Alley in Sao Paulo yesterday. Graffiti and street art are entirely legal and encouraged here. Up and down the walls, garages and back lots of buildings are thousands of different tags, murals and messages.
Every Wednesday there’s a rap battle that goes down and while I can’t speak Portugese and can’t rap, I kinda wanna see what that’s all about. This is just one of many pieces we saw, prolly gonna drop a few as we make our way through the city this week.
One thing you can’t overlook in Sao Paulo is the youth culture. There are tons of kids in the streets, not in a disenfranchised youth kind of way, but in a convivial way. They all hang out, much like the kids do in Manhattan. There is a massive skateboarding culture here and you can easily spot a group of kids going from hill to hill, mostly on longboards. It’s nice to see them all sort of rally around something as opposed to getting in each other’s face about it.

Space Furniture presents Doyl, a new take on the padded leather chair.
September 20th, 2011
Simple, comfortable and refined, Doyl is Gabriele and Oscar Buratti’s reinterpretation of the traditional padded leather chair.
The classic proportions of the chair have been inverted, turning concave lines into convex, enhancing the chair’s softness and creating an interesting new shape. Padding adds extra comfort.
The designers have placed great importance on graphic markings. Continuous stitching on the fronts and backs of the chair correspond to the cutting lines and junctions of the leather.
The leather is folded, curved and turned inside out, but never cut.
Alternative technical materials offer different colour variations, for a range of bright hues.
Doyl is available through Space Furniture.

Genetic diversity of Adansonia digitata (l.) And Vitelleria paradoxa (c.f. Gaertn) in Nigeria
This study evaluated the genetic diversity of Adansonia digitata and Vitelleria paradoxa in three savanna ecological zones of Nigeria using ten microsatellite markers. Leaf samples were collected from three savanna ecological zones of Nigeria. Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from 0.020g powder of silica gel dried leaves using the modified Doyle and Doyle (1990) protocol. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed in a volume of 25μl in a DNA thermal cycler. PCR products were separated by electrophoresis using 2% agarose gel inTBE buffer. Fragment sizes were estimated using ladder – DNA sizing marker and analysed using CERVUS. Averagely high genetic diversity (He) was recorded for A. digitata and V. paradoxa genotypes for Sudan Savanna (0.6572, 0.5792) and Guinea Savanna (0.6050, 0.5302) but significantly higher in Derived Savanna ecological zone (0.8093, 0.7372). A good strategy to protect these endangered tree species is to protect more of their habitat and also to develop their plantation outside their natural habitat.
Key words: Adansonia digitata¸ Vitelleria paradoxa, Genetic diversity, conservation, Microsatellites.

On 10th November 2020, the world lost one of the best DJs ever to do it. DJ Spinbad (born Chris Sullivan) was a true legend of the scene – an incredibly skilled DJ, and creator of some of the best, most influential mixes ever recorded. He was 46.
A fixture on New York radio for many years, Spinbad was probably best known for his wildly creative 80s Megamixes. As A-Trak put it,
“The level of artistry that he put into his mixtapes… he sent everyone back to school. Those “80s Mega Mix” tapes changed the game, straight up.”
DJ Yoda spoke of how greatly Spinbad influenced his style, and opened doors for other DJs to walk through.
‘Spinbad is one of the main reasons that I am a DJ. Let me tell you how important his infamous 80s pop mix is. Spinbad was the first hip-hop mixtape DJ to leave the comfort zone of rap music. He showed me that music isn’t something you need to be embarrassed about.’
I would say that open-format DJing as we know it goes back to those mixes. It is hard for people who didn’t see the impact to understand the degree to which he liberated DJs from having to feel like some music was off-limits, not cool enough to be taken seriously. I remember hearing about them, and ordering them from Turntable Lab, and being so excited when they arrived via airmail. They totally opened my mind.
But he could throw down hip-hop better than the rest too – his Cold Cutz Remixes mixtape with DJ JS-One is a masterclass, and his FABRICLIVE mix stands as one of the very best from that impeccable series.
In particular I loved this incredible mash-up of KRS-One’s Hip Hop vs Rap from Cold Cutz Remixes, cutting up the suitable instrumentals as KRS rapped through dozens of hip hop anthems. I was lucky enough to pick this up on 12″ when it got pressed, and it ALWAYS had people running over to ask what the hell it was!
Spinbad was genuinely an elite DJ. But, more importantly, he was also good man, with the tributes not just focused on his undeniable prowess on the decks, but also on him, as a human. Comedian Russell Peters, who Spinbad toured with, paid tribute to his friend
RIP DJ Spinbad, you will be missed.

What makes the summit of Mount Allan an attractive goal for day hikers? Wildflowers! There's an extended ridge walk with great views of the surrounding landscape. The Rock Garden at the 5.5 km mark is unlike anything we've seen in the Canadian Rockies. While it's steep, there's no vertigo-inducing exposure. Centennial Ridge to Mount Allan …
Hiking Banff National Park – Cirque Peak via Helen Lake
Cirque Peak via Helen Lake trail is a challenging day hike along the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park. It's not for everyone: there are a couple of scrambly bits, there is a bit of exposure to stree drop-offs and it's very steep. But for those with the experience and skills to summit the views of Bow Lake, Bow Glacier and Dolomite Peak are absolutely stunning. The summit is small and the hike is popular, so leave early to beat the crowds.
Hiking Kootenay National Park – Floe Lake and Numa Pass
Floe Lake and Numa Pass are part of the multi-day backpacking route between Marble Canyon and Vermillion Crossing in Kootenay National Park: the Rockwall. Most itineraries describe it as a four to five day adventure, and recommend starting with the trail into Floe Lake. Since we're strictly day hikers, we ascended the trail to Floe Lake for lunch, continued to Numa Pass in the early afternoon and retraced our route arriving back at the parking lot a little before 6 pm. A long and rewarding day, the Floe Lake backcountry campground has got us thinking about giving backpacking a try.
Hiking the Bow Valley – Ha Ling
Compared to the old Ha Ling Trail, the upgraded and realigned route is significantly improved. But it's still challenging - short and steep. If you opt to give this one a try, I strongly recommend hiking/urban poles. There's not water, so be sure to pack lots. And it's pretty exposed up top, so pack one more layer than you think you'll need!
Hiking Kananaskis Country – Chester Lake
Chester Lake is a great shoulder season hike, can be done on snowshoes in winter, and has a lake for skipping stones, dipping toes or watching fish rise. It's pretty easy, with less than 400 meters elevation gain. And there are a few options to extend your hike past the lake: a loop around the lake, the Elephant Rocks, or continuing up to Three Lakes Valley.

The vast numbers of benefits to children practicing on coloring pages simply can not be overstated from a psychological point of view. It's important to start children on easy images so that they can experience a sense of achievement. As their coloring skill improves, they can be given more complex patterns and images to color. Giving children books and pages to color is a highly effective way to help them become better artists and writers, to enable them to concentrate better, to reduce the likelihood that they will suffer from mental problems, and to teach them important life lessons and values. Children who begin coloring at a young age will enjoy the benefits it can bestow for years to come.

The heat is ON!
Chief Minister Jon Stanhope and the Minister for Municipal Services John Hargreaves have just announced that the duplication of Gungahlin Drive is to start immediately.
- Work will commence on the southern end of the GDE immediately with a tender to be called next month with work to begin on the northern end of the road to be completed within the term of the next government.
Completion in four years.
Whingeing, it gets stuff done!
The Liberal policy is on their website dated 21 July, but I couldn’t tell you when it got there.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Brendan Smyth is having a swipe at the Stanhopian U-Turn. He asks some hard questions about the funding:
- The question that the Chief Minister now has to answer for the Canberra community is how will he fund the GDE duplication project? Will he:
- introduce a second appropriation bill?
- raid the Treasurer’s Advance?
- suck in funds from other road projects (as he did for the first GDE project)?
- undertake a borrowing program to raise the capital?
We’re also somewhat interested as to how Zed is going to fund his proposal.
FURTHER UPDATE: Greens’ candidate Shane Rattenbury is saying he’d like to see a transit lane being built with the rest of it.
More Updateyness: The Community Alliance’s Norvan Vogt is attacking “One road for the price of two” and promising that he’d do better if he were king.
One more update for the road: Zed Seselja is so furious about his over-complicated media strategy leaving himself open to gazumping that he’s issued one of his amazingly rare media releases to vent his outrage at the same policy as his own being announced by the Government.
Surely the policy isn’t all that bad Zed? It is rather like your own.


In case you weren't already aware that Dr. Tony Fauci is a liar, he just gave us all crystal clear evidence.
Here's the claim he made just a few days ago: "I didn’t recommend locking anything down."
That quote is from July of 2022.
Now here's what he said back in October of 2020:
"When it became clear that we had community spread in the country, I recommended to the president that we shut the country down. That was a very difficult decision, because I knew it would have serious economic consequences, which it did."
Even recently, Fauci seemed to indicate he would favor more shutdowns.

Alaska Responds to EPA power grab
The State of Alaska has responded to the EPA’s threatened preemptive veto of large mining operations in the Bristol Bay region of Alaska via a letter to EPA Regional Administrator Dennis McLerran dated April 29, 2014. The letter was once again signed by Alaska’s Attorney General, Michael Geraghty. The letter makes very interesting reading. In parallel, the Pebble Partnership submitted similar comments. You can find the State of Alaska letter at the following link.
The EPA’s bogus Bristol Bay Assessment has significant problems, as would be expected from a document that was drawn up after the fact to prop up an earlier internal agency decision to kill the project.
For example, it does not describe any conditions under which the EPA would regulate how fill is used in Kvichak and Nushigak watersheds. Additionally, until there is a mine plan, it is simply not possible for any regulatory agency to do anything other than speculate on what will or will not happen. They will be making it up as they go, and inviting other regulators in the Army Corps and the State of Alaska to join them in a group grope.
The State letter has attached a letter from the Army Corps dated March 14, 2014 stating they have not yet started the public interest review and evaluation process, and that it would be premature to submit anything to the public record.
The EPA claims over and over that it is not possible to build water channels that mitigate or correct any damage to salmon habitat by mining. They reference a 2006 paper multiple times to back up this assertion. In doing so, they ignore over a century of successful mining here in Alaska and elsewhere where habitat restoration has gone wonderfully well, including mines the EPA has participated in the permitting process, like the Fort Knox Mine right here in Alaska. In many places, the mitigated habitat has been significantly better for rearing salmon than the original undisturbed watershed. Yes, this means we know how to raise salmon.
The letter closes with a charge that in taking this action, the EPA is conducting an illegal taking of state land via regulatory fiat. They are violating the Statehood Compact. They are breaking existing public law, most notably the 1972 Clean Water Act. The State has internal EPA documents in its possession stating that the EPA wants to take their action so that it can “serve as a model of proactive watershed planning” which is a role reserved to the states, not the EPA.
The most important thing about this fight is what the EPA is not publicly saying. The entire anti-Pebble action is an attempt by the EPA to subvert existing public law so as to set itself up as the sole regulator of watersheds nationwide, usurping statutory authority given the Army Corps of Engineers and the states. This is a test case for a massive power grab. And if they get away with unilaterally expanding their authority, there will be no end to their obstruction, as they will effectively have nationalized control of all development from now until when a Congress and administration steps in to stop them.
The Army Corps of Engineers was given the power to evaluate projects and issue permits by congress in the 1972 Clean Water Act. The EPA, which desperately wanted that power at the time, has a secondary role of reviewing and potentially vetoing those projects. It has been scheming to regain what they believe they were denied for the last 40 years. This is little more than a raw power grab by a feral federal agency, a power grab that was being discussed internally a full two years before they claimed to have received a formal request from local tribes to preemptively intervene.
This is going to have to be fought at the legislative and congressional levels, as the courts will not bail out the states from a lawless EPA. We saw the latest example of that observation with the SCOTUS upholding of the bizarre Cross State Air Pollution Rule, effectively banning all new coal-fired power plants last month.
This fight is not yet over. And the rumors investigation into RICO charges for the process of putting together the Bristol Bay Assessment continue.

The "iron rice bowl" is a Chinese idiom which referred to the now abolished system of guaranteed lifetime employment.
After the Communists came to power, all workers and farmers were put under state control.
Their work units controlled every aspect of daily life, including the allocation of housing, food and clothing. They also decided who could marry and when, and who was allowed to have children.
In return, work units would look after their workers for life.
But China's transition from a centrally planned economy to a market economy has smashed the old guarantees.
Millions of workers have been laid off as state-run firms have been restructured or shut down.
This has sparked angry protests from their workers, who complain they have been left without the welfare benefits they were once promised.

SpongeBob SquarePants poses a clear and present danger to society, especially the children, and must be expunged (pun intended). From Celine Ryan at campusreform.org:
- A professor at the University of Washington recently published an article in an academic journal about the children’s cartoon “SpongeBob SquarePants,” claiming it perpetuates a legacy of violence against the indigenous people of the Pacific.
The professor argues that the cartoon is involved in the “occupation” of native lands, and that the show participates in “cultural appropriation” by way of its island motif.
A university professor deemed the beloved cartoon “SpongeBob Squarepants” “violent,” “racist,” and “insidious” in a scholarly article.
University of Washington professor Holly Barker published her musings on the yellow sponge cartoon character and his deep-sea pals in an academic journal called The Contemporary Pacific: A Journal of Island Affairs, which features “readable” articles focused on “social, economic, political, ecological, and cultural topics.”
A free-to-the-student education, paid for by the government, will have very little value. From Bill Sardi at lewrockwell.com:
Free college education is now being handed out to high school graduates and will lead to the ruination of many unwary young Americans.
Here is what happens when higher education becomes commoditized:
1. More people compete for jobs that require college degrees. Greater supply and no increased demand means those graduates who do obtain jobs in their field will be paid less. With more graduates than job openings, these students who momentarily wore a cap and gown in a proud graduation ceremony may end up doing menial labor, like the women who clean my home or the waiters at a restaurant I frequent. Labor is still subject to supply and demand. It may be tough to graduate in engineering, but too many engineers and their earning power erodes. There are 117,553 graduates with an engineering degree entering the job market each year. Colleges do no counseling to inform students that the career field they have chosen may have a limited number of job openings. This borders on fraud.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—An update issued Tuesday to the 2017–2018 Common Core educational standards now allows students to answer mathematics problems by responding with whatever their feelings are telling them at the time.
One example problem given to illustrate the updated standards asked students to figure out when a 6:00 a.m. train leaving Boston at thirty miles per hour and a 7:00 a.m. Milwaukee train headed the opposite direction at forty miles per hour will intersect. A list of possible solutions to the sample problem published in the Common Core standards obtained by reporters indicated that “Ugh,” “I’m offended,” “Triggered,” “Trains scare me,” “Boston scares me,” “Milwaukee scares me,” and “Kill yourself,” would all be scored as correct.
“Any emotion, feeling, statement, or catchphrase is an acceptable answer to most of the problems in the new mathematics standards,” a Common Core representative told reporters. “As long as students are being sincere, genuine, authentic, and true to themselves at the time they are answering the question, that’s all we can ask as educators.”
“Who are we to tell anyone that their own mathematical truth is wrong?” the rep added.
According to the rep, the Common Core standards will be updated next year to include feelings as acceptable responses to any and all questions pertaining to biology, chemistry, grammar, and history, while sources claim that English literature teachers have already been accepting emotions as responses for years.
A culture that doesn’t reproduce dies. From Paul Craig Roberts at paulcraigroberts.com:
It is paradoxical that feminism together with other ideological movements has destroyed the natural feminism of women and turned them into sexual items. The 19-year old who intends to get her tubes tied is turning herself into a pure sexual commodity ( https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/08/02/the-turn-against-motherhood/ ). That women are transitioning themselves into sex dolls is a paradoxical result after decades of feminist propaganda that reduced the sexual relationship between men and women from a loving relationship to “men’s use of women’s bodies.” The feminists have now achieved what they decried.
Feminism has not liberated women. It has liberated women from woman’s role. The kind of stable committed relationships that men and women formerly had are difficult to find today except in the oldest generation.
As The Saker recently wrote, we are experiencing “the gradual irrelevance of an entire civilization,” one that has been emptied of its history, foundational purpose, integrity, spirituality, and moral conscience. It is doubtful after decades of anti-male propaganda that the relationship between men and women can be restored. Thus has the family been undermined. White ethnicities are disappearing from earth as the birth rate is less than the death rate, and 19-year old women are having their tubes tied.
Student loans for higher education has become a very profitable racket. From Wolf Richter at wolfstreet.com:
The University-Corporate-Financial Complex is going to squeal.
OK, I’m going to wade into this debate. And I’m going to do it with my boots on.
The student loan fiasco – the pile of debt that has ballooned to $1.6 trillion – and what to do about it – particularly how much of that student debt to forgive at the expense of taxpayers – has now entered the list of presidential campaign promises.
These promises of student-loan forgiveness are efforts to buy votes at the expense of the rest of the taxpayers, whose money this is, on the principle that whoever proposes the biggest debt-forgiveness will get the most votes from those graduates and their parents.
I can’t blame them. It’s just too juicy a low-hanging fruit. If I were a politician running for office, I’d promise the same damn thing, and that’s why I’m not running for office.
But this $1.6 trillion is an asset on the government’s books. It was funded by tax receipts and debt that the government issued. If hypothetically, all students paid off their federal student loans today, the gross national debt would drop by 7%, from $22.5 trillion to $20.9 trillion.
Forgiving these student loans wipes out that asset, but the national debt that funded these student loans remains. That’s how that would work. There are no freebies, when it comes to debt.
If you like a service in the private market, the market will probably provide more of it. If you like something the government provides, it may well shut the service down. From John Stossel at townhall.com:
Source: AP Photo/Christopher Torchia
With most services, you get to shop around, but rarely can you do that with government-run schools.
Philadelphia mom Elaine Wells was upset to learn that there were fights every day in the school her son attended. So she walked him over to another school.
“We went to go enroll and we were told, ‘He can’t go here!’ That was my wake up call,” Wells tell me in my latest video.
She entered her sons in a charter school lottery, hoping to get them into a charter school.
“You’re on pins and needles, hoping and praying,” she said. But politicians stack the odds against kids who want to escape government-run schools. Philly rejected 75% of the applicants.
Wells’ kids did eventually manage to get into a charter called Boys’ Latin. I’m happy for them. I wish government bureaucrats would let all kids have similar chances.
Wells was so eager for her sons to attend that she arranged to have one repeat the sixth grade.

Floods that occasionally surge from immense lakes trapped beneath the Antarctic ice sheet can significantly speed the flow of ice in overlying glaciers, a new study shows.
Scientists have known about the existence of large subglacial lakes in Antarctica — some of them larger than North America’s Lake Ontario — for decades. Only in the last few years, however, have satellite observations of shifts in the ice cap hinted that large volumes of water sometimes spill from one lake to another (SN: 6/17/06, p. 382).
Now, scientists’ observations, published online in Nature Geoscience on November 16, link one such flood to a 14-month–long acceleration of one of Antarctica’s largest glaciers.
The findings provide “the piece in the water-iceflow puzzle that had been missing so far: direct evidence for glacier acceleration as a result of subglacial floods,” says Helen Amanda Fricker, a glaciologist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif. “This paper really nails it.”
“This is the smoking gun we thought was out there,” says Robert Bindschadler, a glaciologist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. “This [finding] will bring smiles to a lot of scientists’ faces.”
Each year, Byrd Glacier drains about 20 billion metric tons of ice from an area of Antarctica that is almost twice the size of Texas. The main trunk of the glacier, which dumps that ice into the Ross Ice Shelf, is about 75 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide, says Leigh Stearns, a glaciologist at the University of Maine in Orono. Data suggest that between November 1960 and December 2005, ice at the glacier’s grounding line — the point where the glacier flows into the floating ice shelf — moved seaward at a steady rate of about 825 meters per year.
Then, between December 2005 and February 2007, satellite observations indicate that the lowermost 100-kilometer stretch of Byrd Glacier sped up significantly. During this time, flow rates at the glacier’s grounding line reached about 900 meters per year, a 9 percent increase. That boosted ice discharge from the glacier in 2006 by 1.7 billion metric tons, Stearns and her colleagues estimate.
Before and during the same time period, NASA’s Earth-orbiting ICESat probe detected rapid changes in the elevation of the ice sheet nearby. Between March 2004 and November 2005, two broad areas about 200 kilometers upstream of Byrd Glacier’s grounding line rose several meters — a sign that the subglacial lakes inferred to be located there gained about 2.1 cubic kilometers of water. Then, the surface of the ice sheet over those lakes began to fall, signifying drainage of the freshly accumulated water. Between June 2006 and April 2007, about 1.7 cubic kilometers of that water flowed downstream — right beneath the trunk of the glacier, which at that time was speeding along much faster than normal. The precise dates that these events began and ended are uncertain, Stearns notes, because satellite observations of the region are sporadic.
The 14-month–long acceleration of the Byrd Glacier probably isn’t related to climate change, the researchers note. Computer models used to estimate the amount of ice flowing off Antarctica should be updated in the future to account for the occasional episode of subglacial flooding, Stearns suggests. At present, however, satellites capable of detecting subglacial flooding haven’t been observing Antarctica long enough to know how often these episodes occur.
Previous studies have noted an increase in the speed of Antarctic ice streams after the ice flowed across subglacial lakes, a hint that the bedrock downstream was better lubricated by water flowing out of those lakes (SN: 3/31/07, p. 202). And although none of the occasional floods from Antarctica’s subglacial lakes have previously been linked to changes in the behavior of overlying glaciers, scientists have suspected the lubricating effect of such floods could be substantial (SN: 3/3/07, p. 142).


NEW YORK (AP) — An administrative law judge has ruled that Labor Department officials investigating gender pay bias had asked Google for data in a way that’s too broad and intrusive on employee privacy.
Google must still provide data, including contact information, on 8,000 employees — just not data on the more than 25,000 workers originally sought.
At issue is whether Google pays women less than men. The Labor Department said in April that it found “systemic compensation disparities.” But Google denied the charges, saying it conducts rigorous analysis to ensure that its pay practices are gender-blind.
The decision, issued on Friday, is preliminary. The Labor Department can file objections before it becomes final. The ruling doesn’t yet decide, either way, whether Google discriminated.

I am Luke Skywalker.
“This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. What he was doing. Adventure. Heh! Excitement. Heh! A Jedi craves not these things.”
So sayeth Yoda.
Like Luke, I have been guilty of staring off at the horizon, imagining myself in a completely different life. Never satisfied with what I have. Always thinking about what I don’t.
Today I follow the advice of Raymond Chandler, who says I should block out time just for writing. I don’t have to write anything. But I can’t do anything else during this time.
Presence is a word that gets thrown around a lot. Two definitions come to mind. The first is sort of a code word for building an audience, for capturing people’s attention. I guess this blog is my attempt to have an online presence. Along with my social media pages.
Then there is the spiritual definition of being present, of living in the moment. I find this message most often accompanied by pictures of people doing yoga, meditating, laying on the beach, or some combination of all three.
For me, it is easy to be present when I am on the beach. That is a moment I want to enjoy.
It has been hard for me to find pictures to share. Not that there is a shortage of things to see. But trying to pair images with the words on the page. To have an image that captures the essence of “presence”. Like doing yoga on the beach. Or standing on top of a mountain.
Would the message of presence be as powerful when combined with pictures of me sitting at my desk, struggling to write this? Or sitting in an office, poring over lines of code, looking for one tiny little mistake that is throwing my entire program for a loop?
I don’t want to stay present for that. Why shouldn’t my mind wander off to faraway lands and thrilling heroics?
But that is when presence is most valuable, isn’t it?
So I sit and stare at the blank page.

Dental office administration is a critical component of any dental practice, whether a small, single-dentist office or a large multi-specialty practice. The role of a dental office administrator is to ensure efficient and effective operations, manage patient care, financial management, human resources, marketing, patient acquisition, regulatory compliance, and technology management. Let’s explore the role and responsibilities of dental office administrators and the importance of their role in dental practice.
The Role and Responsibilities of Dental Office Administrators
Managing Patient Care
One of the primary responsibilities of a dental office administrator is managing patient care. This includes scheduling appointments, managing patient flow, and coordinating with dental professionals to provide patient care. Dental office administrators also maintain patient records and ensure patient confidentiality. They are responsible for managing patient inquiries and complaints and ensuring patients have a positive experience when visiting the practice.
Dental office administrators are responsible for managing the financial aspects of a dental practice. This includes billing and insurance claims management, budgeting, financial planning, managing accounts receivable and payable, and coordinating with accounting and bookkeeping professionals. Dental office administrators must be proficient in dental insurance procedures and regulations to ensure proper billing and insurance claims processing.
Human Resources Management
Dental office administrators are also responsible for managing human resources. This includes recruiting, hiring, and training staff, managing employee benefits and compensation, maintaining employee records and documentation, managing employee performance, and handling disciplinary actions when necessary.
Marketing and Patient Acquisition
Dental office administrators are responsible for developing and implementing marketing strategies to attract and retain new patients. This includes managing patient referral programs, monitoring and analyzing patient satisfaction and feedback, and coordinating community outreach and events.
Ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations is a critical responsibility of dental office administrators. They are responsible for managing OSHA and HIPAA requirements, maintaining infection control and sterilization protocols, and conducting safety and risk assessments.
This includes managing electronic health records and patient management software, ensuring hardware and software compatibility and functionality, coordinating with IT professionals for maintenance and updates, and implementing and managing telehealth services.

Sequential Injection is based on stacking sample and reagent zones, by aspiration into a holding coil, and by their mixing executed by flow reversal, that transports the reaction mixture into and through the detector.
As the sample zone is aspirated into the holding coil, it acquires a modified parabolic profile, as it passes through the rotor and adjacent ports of the LOV module (A). In absence of radial mixing the sequentially aspirated sample and reagent zones would not mix and will not react (B).
However, the design of the flow path, with abrupt change of directions and of internal diameters promotes radial mixing assisted by local turbulence and facilitates chemical reactions, intended to quantify the analyte (C). Note that the initial formation of the parabolic profile is beneficial, as it increases the contact area through which the interaction of sample with regent solutions takes place. The subsequent flow reversal will promote the radial mixing.

The New Ceramic Interior Fressko Cup is a reusable cup coated in ceramic to keep your favorite drink cold or hot and to prevent changing the taste and quality of your drink.
What's the point of inside ceramic-coated cups?
- Taste and flavor retention: the ceramic coating creates a smooth, non-porous surface that doesn’t absorb liquids or flavors like uncoated materials like terracotta or clay. This helps maintain the original taste and aroma of your beverage, especially for sensitive beverages like tea or coffee.
- Durability and resistance to staining: The Fressko range of reusable cups is renowned for their quality. Our new ceramic coating offers that same level of protection from chipping, scratching, and cracking while maintaining a clean, stain-free surface. This helps the cup maintain its appearance for longer.
- Hygiene: The non-porous surface of the ceramic coating makes it easier to clean the cup and prevents the growth of bacteria and mold. This is especially important for cups used for hot beverages.
- Thermal insulation: Fressko’s ceramic cups offer the same exceptional thermal insulation as our stainless-steel products. They are designed to maintain the temperature of your hot beverages for long periods. This ensures that you can savor your drink at your preferred temperature for an extended duration, no matter where you are.
- Timeless cup aesthetic: The ceramic coating’s sleek and lustrous finish imparts a classic cup look and feel, especially when complemented by matching interior and exterior color choices.

LEWISTON, Idaho – On the bright side, Point Loma Nazarene University gets another shot.
The Sea Lions got a strong pitching effort from Andrew Bovich, but the bats never came to life as Lubbock Christian (Texas) topped PLNU 5-1 in a championship round game of the NAIA World Series last night at Harris Field on the Lewis-Clark State campus.
“We didn't show up and play our game,” PLNU coach Joe Schaefer said. “It's a little disappointing, maybe even a little embarrassing that we play so well all week then this is what we bring out tonight.”
The Sea Lions rolled through the tournament with four straight wins, including a 2-1 victory over the Chaparrals on Tuesday, and entered last night's game needing to win one of potentially two games.
Last night's loss in the double-elimation event means tonight's rematch between Lubbock Christian (51-8) and PLNU (48-12) will determine the NAIA national champion.
A PLNU victory would make the Sea Lions the first San Diego university to win a national baseball championship since USIU won the NAIA title in 1973.
Last night, Lubbock Christian rolled with two big swings in the third inning.
Armando Dominguez opened the scoring with a solo home run down the left-field line, then Will Stramp made it 3-0 with a two-run shot to right-center.
“I felt I had my stuff tonight and a couple of those guys are really good hitters so I thought I threw – aside from one home run – all of them were pretty good pitches they got a hold of,” said Bovich (13-1), who struck out nine but took the loss, his first of the year.
Unfortunately for Bovich, his offense never got rolling as Chaparral starter Rene Garcia (11-1) went the distance, striking out five and scattering six hits.
“It feels great, I can't even talk right now,” Garcia said. “It's an amazing feeling.”
The three-run third made Garcia feel even better.
“These guys have always come up clutch for me; it's a big relief when your offense comes through for you.”
LCU tacked on one more in the fourth, then got a solo homer in the eighth from Ross Blondin before the Sea Lions showed some late life as Wes Kartch singled, took second on a passed ball and scored on a Tyler Kuehl single.

Rotate Effect (Rotate Effect) rotates the video orientation to the Target angle (in circular degrees). As the image rotates its edges will likely move outside the Screen boundaries and get clipped. To avoid clipping, combine Rotate Effect with a Scale Effect. For example, Scale the size to 0.5 (50% size). Then as it rotates it should not move outside the Screen bounds. Translate Effects can also be useful here to move the video within the Screen.
Rotatation is performed using the on the Origin Point as the pivot point. An Origin Point centered on the image (X,Y = 0.5,0.5) is generally the best choice. See the Origin Point section for details the values.
In Figure 1, Origin Points (red dots based on X,Y values below the diagram) affect the way the image is rotated. Light blue rectangle is the image unrotated. Cyan rectangle is the image rotated by 45 degrees. Arrows show the direction of rotatation.
As a productivity aid, you can save the entire effect (all values on all tabs) as a Favorite with the Save as Favorite Values button. Then you can set all values of an effect from the Favorite values using the Set from Favorite Values button. Separate favorites are saved for each type of effect (Rotate, rotation, etc).
This example shows a video rotated to 45 degrees.

Ford and Chevrolet may be crosstown rivals, but that hasn’t stopped the two from working together or inadvertently using the same parts. It should come as no surprise that transmissions have been at the heart of the two’s collaboration and parts sharing. Now, Road & Track is reporting the two will likely use the same gearbox for their top-tier performance cars. The two have shared transmissions before thanks to Tremec, an American transmission and drivetrain manufacturer. Recently, an employee newsletter for a Tremec supplier reveals such sharing is again likely.
Rumors have long swirled the mid-engine Corvette would opt for a dual-clutch gearbox instead of a manual transmission. Similar rumors also swirled for the 2020 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 after a spy video captured the car performing suspiciously quick upshifts through the gears. Now, both may use the same gearbox.
According to Road & Track, development for a dual-clutch transmission for General Motors began with Tremec supplier Fassler in 2016. The project was named “GM-DCT.” In 2017, Tremec asked for assistance developing a new projected called “Ford-DCT.” Apparently, Tremec asked for a few changes, possibly making the Ford gearbox a variant of the GM-designed one for the mid-engine Corvette with both using similar parts. One of the several newsletters that spelled out this supplier information said the two gearboxes would be used for the Mustang GT500 and mid-engine Corvette.
The transmission the two could use is allegedly called the Tremec TR-9007. The supplier also has a TR-7007, which is likely designed to handle less torque than the performance-oriented TR-9007. Right now, this is just connecting dots; however, it makes sense. While several suppliers make dual-clutch gearboxes, Ford and GM have reliably used Tremec to supply gearboxes for several of their sports cars. This is how both Ford and GM have used the same transmissions in the past.


Will Nicoll and Matt Moss, also known as Steel Toed Slippers, have risen from the roots of redwoods in Humboldt County to bring the world a tall and sturdy serving of classic American rock soiled in soul, funk, blues, and jazz influences. It all started the fall of 2006 when Will and Matt, who didn't know each other yet, were just beginning another school year in their small town of McKinleyville, California. Will, a high school junior, roamed around the halls with his acoustic guitar and harmonica on a daily basis, and Matt, a freshman, woke up every morning at 5 am to play drums in the school's swing band. It was when one of the school's counselors noticed Matt playing drums in the band room one day after class that he knew the two had to meet. He introduced them to each other later that day at lunch and the rest is history (still) in the making.
After deciding on a band name for their new group, Will and Matt and a couple different bass players, took Humboldt County by storm. Playing at nearly every venue in the county, Steel Toed Slippers became a well known and highly respected name among the local music scene in Humboldt. It was clear very early on that these small town boys were onto something much bigger than their youthful selves. In 2007, the band did their first west coast tour with shows from Humboldt all the way to Los Angeles ending with a sold out show at The Whiskey A Go Go. It was at this point that the guys realized that LA was the place to be, and soon decided to re-locate. For the next couple years, Will attended the Musicians Institute, and Matt studied jazz at the Hamilton Music Academy.
Grant Farm is a refreshing harvest of a band from the fertile Front Range of Colorado. This much-anticipated four-piece represents the fruition of the efforts of National Flatpicking Champion Tyler Grant, one of the hottest and best-known guitar players on the scene today. Tyler was a member of The Drew Emmitt Band and The Emmitt-Nershi Band from 2005 until 2010 when he went on his own to pursue his calling as a bandleader. In Grant Farm he is partnered with dynamic drummer Chris Misner, also of the Drew Emmitt Band and Bill Nershi's Blue Planet. The quartet is completed by funky phenom Adrian "Ace" Engfer on bass and the prodigious Sean Foley on keyboards. Grant Farm has established a movement based on their connection to roots music of all kinds, devotion to their fans and family, and their brilliant performances of Rocky Mountain Rock and Roll.
Grant Farm is a band on a mission. Tyler, Chris, Ace and Sean are experienced players of renown in their own right, but as a unit they form a greater whole, and are working hard to grow into the best band that they can be. Members of Grant Farm have been featured on stage with the likes of Leftover Salmon, The String Cheese Incident, Yonder Mountain String Band, The Infamous Stringdusters, The Motet, Head For The Hills, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Tim O'Brien, Dumpstaphunk, Tony Rice, Larry Keel, Keller Williams, Jon Oates, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Disco Biscuits, Abigail Washburn and Peter Rowan.

Few guitar players are more exciting than Scott Pemberton. He plays his instrument with a passion that is seldom equaled. It is not surprising that he receives comparisons to a wide variety of the greats spanning many genres including Jimi Hendrix, Dick Dale and Grant Green. A Scott Pemberton Super Band show unfolds a lot like an awesome date. Imagine cool conversation over dinner with the Meters, then drinks and dancing with the Lips, and finally the after-party with James Brown that leaves you sweaty and satisfied. This is no movie date. An evening with Scott Pemberton will be a night to remember.
Native Portlander (Oregon), Scott Pemberton has amassed a loyal following. Fans come out in force to see him play show after show. With a deep catalogue and a mastery of improvisation, every show is different and memorable. With Scott you never know what is next, an unexpected interpretation of a well known favorite or a captivating original. A Portland area secret no longer, Scott is sure to make the same impact on the rest of the country as he has on Portland’s music scene.
Musically speaking, Electro-Americana may best describe Arthur Lee Land’s eclectic fusion of folk-rock, AfroGrass (worldbeat/bluegrass) and electronica, but cannot fully explain the unique dynamics at work when Arthur enters the studio or takes the stage. The multi-talented performer blends elements from distinctive parts of his career for this recording: his longtime wheelhouse as a touring musician playing folk-rock, country and roots; a world beat/bluegrass hybrid, inspired by a tour of West Africa; and his Art of Live-Looping techniques which have defined his solo live shows since the early 2000s. Then add to this mix - co-producer, engineer and DJ Aaron Shier, who brought in his influences of electronic, house and pop music.
JaimeWyatt is a striking figure who walks the Earth with an old soul. Her repertoire tells stories of heartbreak and redemption, delivered by a voice that is both rich and magnetic. Comparisons are frequently drawn to Chrissie Hynde, Stevie Nicks and at times she has been anointed a female Tom Petty. Wyatt is a dynamic performer, dually noted as a powerhouse singer and stellar guitar player, sailing between vintage 60’s and 70’s rock n roll anthems and heartfelt ballads of love and confusion.
Dynamic, quirky and highly energetic indie rock trio Finn Riggins has made a name for itself around the West and the greater US as road warriors from the oft-overlooked state of Idaho over the last several years. Since the release of their debut album A SOLDIER, A SAINT, AN OCEAN EXPLORER on Portland’s beloved mom-and-pop label Tender Loving Empire in 2007, they have averaged close to 200 shows a year in 43 states — including a massive 80-day tour around the entire perimeter of the US in the Spring of 2010. Most of this touring has been on the backs of their DIY ethic and wide open approach to the changing music industry. In 2009 and 2010 they played three different support tours with fellow Idahoans Built To Spill while supporting their sophomore album VS WILDERNESS (Tender Loving Empire).
The collaborative brainchild of three music school graduates from the University of Idaho — Cameron Bouiss, Eric Gilbert and Lisa Simpson — Finn Riggins has always been a tough entity for the music industry to pin down. Their genre-defying approach to rock-n-roll has yielded a long stream of varied explanations for their sound over the years — experimental pop, prog-pop, post-punk post-epic 70s rock, synth-driven indie rock, and so on. One consistent thread through most of the press raves over the years has been the fact that Finn Riggins’ sound is unique and fresh and not adhering to any particular trend, all while being accessible through pop-hooks and an incredibly well executed and fun live show.
Since relocating to Boise, ID in early 2009 from the small mountain town of Hailey, ID at the foot of the Pioneer Mountain Range, Finn Riggins have become key players in the young music and art scene of Idaho’s largest population center. They took their first extended break from touring in 2011 to further connect with their local scene and focus on writing and creating anew. In a November 2011 NYLON feature on the Boise scene Chad Dryden of The Record Exchange is quoted confirming the band, “injected much-needed life into the scene.” During this time Eric Gilbert helped develop Treefort Music Fest – a festival geared toward promoting the Boise scene and raising money for independent station Radio Boise, the first to support local artists in decades. 2012 was the festival’s inaugural year and was a great success.
Ease Up began in the Fall of 2009 in Los Angeles, CA with the idea of starting a band that blended elements of ska punk, reggae and rock. Since 2009, Ease Up has independently released two EP’s, If You Only Knew (March, 2010) and On the Fly (June 2011) while playing an average of 100 shows per year. Ease Up has shared the stage with many popular ska/reggae/rock bands including: Fishbone, The Aggrolites, Tomorrows Bad Seeds, The Expendables, Mishka, The English Beat, The Dirty Heads, Pato Banton, Natural Vibrations, Echo Movement, C-Money & the Players Inc., Seedless, Stranger, and many more. Ease Up is currently writing and recording new music at 17th Street Recording in Costa Mesa, CA for their first full-length album to be released in Spring/Summer 2013.
Power trios are by definition musically challenging, but OLIO manages to combine a great, soulful rhythm section with cool guitar work, melodic vocal lines and tight harmonies. We caught up with the band at the 2012 Indie Music Festival in Vegas last month, and shot the brief interview and live performance video clip above. Olio really impressed with a blend of all the right stuff: creativity, musicianship, and chemistry, along with strong songwriting skills and a great interpersonal dynamic among the band members.

The Clumsy Lovers have brought their mix of fiddle and banjo-fuelled, bluegrassified Celtic rock to North American audiences for over a decade. With more than 2500 performances under their belts, their high-energy shows have worn out dance floors and created a loyal following in 49 states and across their homeland of Canada.
In addition to their live shows, The Clumsy Lovers have also released a series of award-winning and critically acclaimed recordings. Early self-produced recordings garnered the attention of venerated label Nettwerk Records, which came on board to release “After The Flood” (2005) and “Smart Kid” (2006). Both albums won a CD of the year nod from the Indie Acoustic Music awards, as well as being nominated for numerous other honors (including multiple mentions from The West Coast Music Awards, and the Canadian Folk Music Awards).


RECYCLING MATTERS – LABOUR ARE FAILING EXETER
“It is more than frustration, it is anger that Exeter remains at the bottom of Devon’s recycling league table,” says Cllr Anne Jobson responding to the Editorial in the Express and Echo (29th July 2021), “
“Whilst other Local Authorities in Devon have increased their recycling rates - Exeter’s have got worse. The blame for this lies squarely with the Labour ruling administration. Labour have done nothing and will do as little as possible until forced to improve recycling as a result of the Conservative Government’s Environment Bill..”
CONSERVATIVE GROUP Exeter City Council
“Cllr Bialyk is wrong to blame delays to the Environment Bill for Exeter’s lack of a plan and timetable. Other local Authorities have got on with it – Exeter has not. Put simply - the Labour Ruling Group on Exeter City Council are failing the people of Exeter. Exeter residents have made it clear time and time again that they want to recycle - the Council should be helping them to do so.”
“Cllr Harvey is already planning his excuses when he is reported as saying that larger authorities will be further up the line when it comes to receiving new refuse collection vehicles.”
“If Exeter had got on with it when they made their promise in 2019 then those vehicles could be in place and helping Exeter deliver on its recycling.”
“In 1995 Exeter was the highest performing Devon Authority with 8.2% and achieved its highest collection rate in 2010 with 36.9%. Since then whilst other authorities have introduced food-waste and rolled out new services Exeter has been left lagging behind and getting worse year on year. Between 2015 and 2020 no other Devon Local Authority has fallen below 40% whilst Exeter has fallen below 30%.”
Cllr Anne Jobson OBE
These are taken from the annual reports of the Devon Authorities Strategic Waste Committee – generally published in the October of Each Year – Devon County Council.
In 2015/16 Devon recycled 55.1% of its waste.
In 2016/17 Devon recycled 55.7% of its waste.
In 2017/18 that dropped to 54%, rising to 56% in 2018/19
In 2019/20 Devon recycled 56.6% of its waste.
For the same period
Exeter recycled 33.4% in 2015/16;
Exeter recycled 31.6% in 2016/17
Exeter’s recycling rate had dropped to 30.8 in 2017/18
Exeter recycling rate dropped again to 27.1% in 2018/19
Exeter recycling rate dropped yet again to 26.1% in 2019/20.
The highest rated authorities in Devon during this period had recycling rates in excess of 50% with our closest neighbour, East Devon, achieving 60.5% in 2019/20.
No other Council in Devon had a rate below 40% during the same period.
As far back as 2018/19 a 53% increase was achieved in Devon for kerbside food waste collection and all other Local Authorities in Devon save for Exeter had a food waste collection.

A Rancho Cordova man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for his alleged role in a scheme to obtain $141,000 worth of gold coins.
Garik Voskanyan, 30, of Rancho Cordova and Karapet Damaryan, 63, of Glendale, are charged with bank fraud and identity theft, according to a federal Department of Justice news release.
A federal grand jury returned the two-count indictment Aug. 15. The indictment alleges that Damaryan and Voskanyan were part of a scheme to take control of another person's bank account and wire money to a gold bullion dealer in Placerville in exchange for 96 gold coins worth approximately $141,000. According to court documents, the defendants were caught by Placer County sheriff's deputies when they arrived to take possession of the gold coins.
Damaryan also is charged with aggravated identity theft for allegedly using a false driver's license in the name of the victim during the bank fraud scheme.
Damaryan and Voskanyan made an initial appearance in court Tuesday and were released on $50,000 bond each. They are to be arraigned Friday before U.S. District Judge Carolyn K. Dalaney.
The case resulted from an investigation by the U.S. Secret Service and the Placer County Sheriff's Office.

Bryce Creative Services, a Hull-based design consultancy specialising in retail in-mall design and communication programmes, has been acquired by Visuality Design, also based in Hull. Visuality’s client list includes Asda, Smith & Nephew, Sara Lee and Scottish & Newcastle Retail.
Former sole proprietor of Bryce Creative, John Bryce, will join the Visuality board as executive director and his team will move into Visuality’s offices.
At this stage, no job losses or appointments are envisaged. “Our intention is simply to bring the two teams together and go forward from there,” says Visuality’s marketing director, Tony Nunan.
The acquisition, says Nunan, continues Visuality’s policy of extending its branding and packaging design business into specialist areas relating to shopping. “Working with clients like Meadowhall and Centro, [Europe’s biggest leisure and retail complex, in Germany] enabled Bryce Creative to build up unique insights into how to communicate with shoppers on a very large scale.
These insights will add significantly to our ability to advise our clients on all aspects of the shopping process,” adds Nunan.
The business of 5-online, which provides clients with digital media design, e-commerce, data housing and ASP services, will integrate with the existing e-xcentric business, formed through the acquisition of MCA holdings earlier this year.

In a world of white privilege, it can be difficult for people of colour to navigate their identity, never mind how the intersection of religious and political identity relates to their beliefs.
That’s why photographer Bobby Rogers decided to create a photo series about what it means to be black and Muslim today.
The stunning shots, which illustrate the “essence of black culture” through young adulthood, have gone viral since they were released on the micro-blogging site.
The subjects have also detailed their experiences with these identity intersections, which are written next to the portraits.
“#BeingblackandMuslim means sometimes being erased from conversations on Islam & blackness. But always belonging to both,” one muse wrote.
“#BeingblackandMuslim means constantly being asked to choose between your race and your religion because society has tried to convince you that only one can exist,” said another.
“#BeingblackandMuslim means understanding there’s no American identity without exploring black religious thought and political identity,” added one contributor.
Rogers, a Minnesotan photographer and illustrator, was inspired by the popular Twitter hashtag, #BeingblackandMuslim, and decided that he wanted to capture “the most resilient human beings in the world”.
Discussing the photo series, Rogers said that he wanted to explore how “exhausting” the erasure of cultural identity can be.
“There is an increasingly prejudicial connection being made between Blackness & Islam which fuels the erasure of Black Muslims in pop culture,” wrote Rogers on Twitter.
"Simply existing at the axis of #BeingBlackandMuslim can be exhausting. You're always not enough. Always having to validate your existence."
According to the American ISPU, 25% of the Muslim community are black or African American, making it one of the most racially diverse religion in the country.
Rogers, who has released nine photos under the theme so far, plans to continue the inspiring project.

text: Chichi was 12 years old when she wound up in a kill shelter. Chichi had a severe dental disease, her gums were rotting along with her teeth which caused a harsh odor. Chichi couldn't eat properly and we could only assume how painful her recent years have been. She had urgent surgery and when she woke up she was such a happy dog! One of our best fosters offered to foster Chichi while she was recovering from the surgery. At her foster home, she was so spoiled and loved her belly rubs and cuddles. She was even getting cooked food just for her. As if things couldn't get any better, her foster dad decided that Chichi deserves to be spoiled like this for the rest of her life, so he decided to adopt her and never let her go.
