Unless you’ve been frozen in a block of ice for a decade, you understand that the law enforcement profession is facing some very difficult circumstances. Crime is up, retention is low, and recruiting is all but gone. While some believe that the current crisis is recent, there has been a slow churn towards where we are today and if our leaders don’t act now, the future will be bleak, and our communities may have law enforcement in the future, but they won’t exactly be doing “law” and “enforcement.”
If law enforcement continues to play with clowns, we will become clowns and that is exactly what has happened. I’ve always found it amazing that there has been a constant complaint from our profession of how the media reports stories, but we continue to rely on them to send our message to the public. If we truly want to improve the profession, we need to stop playing this game. The mainstream media has lost all sense of ethics and truth and the public knows that. A record low Americans trust them with just 11% of Americans having any confidence in television news. Virtually every “high profile” police case has started with lies from the media, so we need to understand who we are dealing with and just stop.
Today, more than ever, there is an opportunity for law enforcement agencies to be their own news agency. From websites to video to the various social media pages, law enforcement needs to drive their communities to their news and move them away from the media. Not only does this make sense, but the public is craving it. There was a reason why COPS and LIVE PD were two of the most popular shows on television and there are agencies, such as Miami PD, that have larger followings on YouTube than most cable networks. While the technology isn’t difficult, Law Officer offers a service that will facilitate the news for your agency that includes a unique domain name and even writers for articles.
If you must talk to the news, I would recommend doing what Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb does. He records any interviews he gives to the media to make sure their editors don’t do what we know they often do and when he suspects they will, he releases the interview before the media does. If we are serious about improving law enforcement, we must start with the media and destroy the false narratives that they have built through the years.
The dirty little secret in law enforcement is the sheer avoidance that many agencies take on real training. While there are some agencies that take this seriously, many simply “check the box” of what is required and move to the next year. This is both derelict and irresponsible. If beauticians and bankers are getting more training than cops, we have a problem and as I outlined in my book, that is exactly what is happening.
Law enforcement is a business of potential chaos and tragedy and when that occurs, those wearing a badge better have the best and most applicable training possible. On a regular basis, your officers need training on survival, firearms, defensive tactics, and leadership principles. If you want to truly “bulletproof” your agency, get your officers specialized training in mental health and medical techniques. It takes less than two weeks to get certifications in emergency medical responders and crisis intervention and the price paid will be more than worth it to avoid the pending doom if you do not have that in your toolbox.
Ignore The Haters
Every city has a very small group of cop haters. They may be masking themselves as lawyers, activists, or concerned citizens but if their only goal is to derail you from your main mission, reducing crime, it is nothing but a distraction. Every bad idea and so-called reform that is currently destroying the profession has been from our leaders’ taking advice from them and it’s time that it stops. Bullies feed off of attention and if we keep giving them that, they will only double down on their “demands.”
Policing is a simple premise. Bad guys (and gals) commit crime and it is our job to stop them within the constitutional guidelines as set forth by the United States Constitution. We need to stay in that lane and stop dancing with those that have no desire to help us with that mission.
Collect and Report All Data
Nothing has been more destructive to the law enforcement profession in recent years than the narrative that the profession is racist. The cop haters call this “disproportionate” or “disparity” and it is a scam. Oddly enough, it is a fraud that has worked very well because we are permitting it. Law enforcement doesn’t get to dictate who commits crime, who calls 911 and who attacks cops but at the same time our leaders keep making promises that we cannot control when it comes to the so-called disparity problem in policing.
Frankly, groups like the ACLU and their lawyer minions must be laughing all the way to the bank at how easy it has been to convince the public that the profession is running out there and targeting minorities. This is accomplished through taking the data on police activity (arrests, use of force, etc.) and comparing that directly to the United States Census. In the scientific community, this is called “junk science” because the comparison is flawed. Law enforcement activity has nothing to do with the census and everything to do with crime. Any comparison with policing must be done by comparing who is committing crime and that rarely falls along the census.
This is an easy fix and I’m amazed at how few agencies practice it. Every agency should publish their data including arrests, stops and use of force and place the demographics of criminals right beside it. Every agency I’ve done this for has been practically dead even and thus, no disparity. Utilizing Part 1 crimes (Robbery, Rape, Burglary, Homicide, etc.) is particularly effective at showing a “disparity” in crime because law enforcement doesn’t choose those criminals. The victims of crime do, and we simply arrest them.
Dump The Feds
Federal Law Enforcement needs local agencies to do just about anything and while we should continue those partnerships when it comes to fighting crime, we need to stop taking any money from the federal government that comes with stipulations. In particular grant funding today comes with an agreement from the local agency that they will adopt federal law enforcement policies and procedures. Until recently this would have included not using body cameras and today it can include adopting the use of force policies passed by the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
Not only do many of the requirements completely ignore what the United States Supreme Court has adopted such as limiting qualified immunity, banning no knock warrants, and limiting deadly force as a “last resort” only but it also takes away the use of the very effective and safe carotid holds. Of course, chokeholds have been a deadly force option for decades and that has also been banned, which leaves law enforcement with one fewer option before they have to shoot someone.
Most agencies haven’t skipped a beat and have continued taking the money and while I know many rely on the funding, they need to understand that once they do it, they are not running their police department…the federal government is and the last I checked, none of this is working well for us or the communities served.
Only A Start
There is much more to say on this topic, and I cover much more in my seminars and books, but we need to start somewhere. Not a week goes by where I don’t speak to someone facing these issues and I’ll be glad to help you as well. Fixing law enforcement may seem daunting but that is eliminated with real leadership.
Today, more than ever, it is real leadership that law enforcement needs.

Sergio Garcia made two things clear Saturday after his third round at the U.S. Open:
He stands by Twitter comments he made about Chambers Bay’s greens being unfit to host an event of this magnitude, and says those comments were not meant as criticism but to spark change.
“Don’t get me wrong,” Garcia said after a round of even-par 70, “I think there’s three or four (holes) that are great.”
He commended the beauty of holes 7, 10 and 13, which feature fescue grass.
But Garcia said the only remedy for the Chambers Bay greens is to have all 18 holes redone with either all fescue grass or all poa grass.
“The problem is when you have different types of grass, they all grow differently, and they’re very uneven,” he said. “It was a statement (on Twitter) to make sure the USGA doesn’t allow this to happen to one of the best tournaments we have all year.
“The majors deserve to be in a great shape,” Garcia continued. “Unfortunately, that didn’t happen this week. The U.S. Open deserves better.”
On Friday, Garcia tweeted, “I think a championship of the caliber of @USOpengolf deserves better quality green surfaces than we have this week but maybe I’m wrong!”
The Spaniard wasn’t the only golfer to speak out about the greens. Henrik Stenson, after his second round Friday, said the greens felt “like putting on broccoli.”
Some players, including Ian Poulter, were critical of the Chambers Bay course before the championship began. But scrutiny of the greens increased after some of the world’s best golfers began playing on them.
Garcia didn’t say that future U.S. Opens or PGA championships shouldn’t be played at Chambers Bay. He said he liked the course’s setup, the challenges of the tee boxes and the crowds.
But the greens were not up to par, he contended.
“It doesn’t feel right,” Garcia said.

Varastettu kuolema (1938)
Dubious characters with tainted pasts. Double-crossing. Thwarted plans. Political unrest in a dark, moody, sparse Finland under tsarist Russian rule. Aristocratic revolutionaries, letterpress printers, hidden weaponry, mysterious women.
A partly confusing tale that fascinates despite its many flaws. Sometimes stunning, sometimes crude and clumsy, with quirky storytelling and silent movie segments. Sly irony and absurd details surprises and adds life. The uneven execution matches the desperate urgency of the subject.
An artifact from another world. Maybe in my book of expressionism and nationalism.

With yet another winter storm headed our way, Cranston Police have wasted no time in getting a parking ban in place.
The ban starts at 9 a.m. and will last until midnight.
Police said they responded to 20 accidents during the last storm and urged motorists to be careful on the roads, especially during the afternoon commute.
Conditions could get especially treacherous since the state is on the verge of running out of road salt. The dwindling supplies compelled the state Department of Transportation to use less salt on the roads during the last storm.
"The R.I. Emergency Management Agency has been working closely with RIDOT, local emergency managers and departments of public works to monitor salt supplies given the ongoing regional and national salt shortage," DOT spokeswoman Rose Amoros said. "This recent storm has again put a strain on all resources."

(1 tenderloin steak per person) We can cut the tenderloin into 1-1/2 to 2 inch thick pieces. You will have anywhere from 4 to 6 steaks that resemble thick hockey pucks.

A little anatomy The tenderloin is the psoas muscle (pronounced ‘so-as’) located in the back, close to the shoulder and extending down to the hip of the steer. It does not get too much play or movement, and because of that it is considered the most tender and delicate portion of beef. Tenderloin weighs anywhere […]

It's almost decision time at London's Tate Britain so it's a good week to visit the Turner Prize in relative peace, ahead of the much-anticipated winner's announcement on December 1. Regardless of tabloid mudslinging and starry competition, there is impressive work in this show, particularly from Runa Islam and Goshka Macuga. You can even pick up a pin badge to display allegiance to your favourite. Almost as good as the US election, see? Most of the Runa Islam badges have gone – I take this to be an indicator of the people's choice …
Don't head straight home from Tate Britain and miss a little gem upstairs from Lucy Skaer and Rosalind Nashashibi in the Art Now space. Pygmalion Event is a two-screen video work in which footage of the priest of the Vence Chapel in France (designed by Matisse as a complete artwork), is juxtaposed with a selection of quietly coded objects on the left. The priest's glorious bright robes suggest that he might be in the process of becoming an artwork himself, but this installation is a heady blend of religion, confusion, mocking and transcendence.
Goshka Macuga's work for the Turner Prize show is a series of collages made after researching the archives of Eileen Agar and Paul Nash, two English artists who had an affair in the 1930s. Those of you near Chichester over the next few months have a chance to look at Agar's own work in collage at Pallant House Gallery. Agar, who died in 1991, is due a revision: her strong sense of irony and lyrical use of colour undermine the historical view of her simply as a surrealist.
In Stirling, a subtly intellectual quartet of female artists are also looking back to feminist art history. In Concrete Shadows, a collaborative exhibition at the Changing Room, Kate Davis, Ines Schaber, Lucy Skaer and Catherine Street examine their own work in light of feminist predecessors working in the 1970s, such as Leonora Carrington and Nancy Holt, whose huge concrete Sun Tunnels in Utah have been photographed by Schaber. Expect to see some large, yet delicate drawings from Kate Davis of crumpled exhibition leaflets, and sculptures and film by Skaer and Street. As shadows of the previous generation grow longer, it's likely you will find a palpable sense of longing here. Has something, once solid, melted into air?
The opposite is true at Maureen Paley in London's East End, where dreams and music appear to have taken physical forms. Inspired by a childhood friend's nightmare involving lava burning a harp, Daria Martin attempts to transform this imagined anxiety into reality, by collaborating with actor Nina Fog and musician Zeena Parkins on Harpstrings and Lava. What emerges is an ethereal film involving a feral-like woman in a cave, which dips in and out of sleep and wakefulness, guided by the on-screen presence of Parkins playing the film's soundtrack.
Finally this week we turn to Bristol, where a new art gallery is opening in Sydney Row, a burgeoning hub by the water that includes Spike Island and Picture this. Works/Projects, run by curator Simon Morrissey, will present new exhibitions and artist projects in the city, as well as working commercially with a group of artists. The gallery opens its doors this week with an exhibition from Richard Woods, an artist known for creating new facades for buildings with his Changing Rooms-style approach. In this sparkling white space within an old tea-packing factory, Woods has clad the interior with a print that mimics the building's true walls made of grey breezeblocks: a reminder that the factory's history is still right here, no matter how many licks of white paint you give it.

- The ancient wine warehouses of Paris
- An atmosphere of an enchanting world
- You will be able to go to the amusement park and enjoy certain rides.
Located in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, the excursion to the fairground arts museum takes place in the heart of Bercy. This museum makes together a collection of entertaining industry objects, dating from the 19th and 20th century. Here we find the true soul of the funfair, across the history of the golden times, the rides of yesteryear, and the exhibitions and shows. Surprises and wonders are waiting for you …
Jean-Paul Favond, producer of this unusual museum was at the time, both an actor in a troupe and an antique dealer. Being a passionate collector, he opened an antique shop: The Tribunal, in the 1970s. At 30 years old, he founded the Louvre of the Antique Dealers where he gathered, one more time, many objects arousing curiosity, linked to the entertainment industry and the fairground arts in general. In the 1980s, he converted the Tribulum into a themed bistro, where the entrance ticket was paid for with drinks.
Finally, over the years, his growing collection and all of his experiences put together made the famous Fairground Arts Museum, which eventually moved to the Bercy district in 1996.
A true heritage of the show and entertainment realm, the Fairground Arts Museum, named at this time Pavillons of Bercy, was the place for events, the open day and other celebrations around the holiday tradition.
Located in the former warehouses of Bercy, this surprising museum gathers henceforth, collections of rides, fairground attractions and many festive objects. The goal of Jean-Paul Favond was to offer the visitors a museum alive and an amazing place that sends you back into your childhood. It is across his innovative set design that Jean-Paul give life to the objects and thus, share them with the general public.
Famous for its parties and its continual ambience, the Bercy district was at one time a vine-growing faubourg, filled with open-air cafes or dance halls and warehouses of wine traders. At this time, these history-packed surroundings constitute a privileged place for tax-free wine.
Indeed, it is across a cobbled street lined with white stone cellars, strewn along the famous Cour Saint-Emilion, that one can guess that the Bercy district was once a veritable wine market.
Built around ancient wine covered markets, the district has a unique architecture, where stone, wood and glass blend harmoniously. Today, the Cour Saint-Emilion and its 42 wine cellars are counted among the historical monuments of France.
Since the end of the 20th century, the district has been renovated and reorganised. It is modernizing and takes the new name of “Bercy Village”. Covering more than 26,000 m2, this village is made up of numerous shops, restaurants and quiet terraces.
It is also an entertainment place, open 7 days out of 7, year-round gives.
Bercy Village offers animations and shows for all ages. It is a place where fun and relaxation rhyme, where we can find exhibitions, concerts and free group activities, accessible for all.
Come to discover this beautiful flowery, familial and historical place with your family and friends. Year-round, Bercy Village offers you a friendly ambience with its magical and enchanting atmosphere.
In addition to your excursion to the fairground arts museum, do not hesitate to book your tour with our agency. We offer you a complete and comfortable service so that you get to explore the most beautiful places in France. Share these experiences with family or friends and create new pages in your story.

As I mentioned yesterday, this month is focusing a lot on sentiments! The design team has been pulling out lots of old favorite images from previously released sets as they work on their projects We can hardly wait to share everything with you! In the meantime, we have a few more peeks to share!
Dawn McVey is continuing her Boutique Borders collection with a beauty this month! This art deco style frame has style with a simplicity that I just love. The congratulatory sentiments are also a perfect addition to any collection, and can be mixed and matched with the other sentiments in the entire Boutique Borders series!
The Wonderful Words series from Heather Nichols also has another fabulous addition this month. This fun retro font overlaid with stars is definitely a great basic that can be used for so many different types of recipients. With a bit of heat embossing it could be elegant, in bright and bold colors it could be kid-friendly; it really has it all!
I've also put together a small $5 set that just has a few large full length "congratulations" in a variety of fonts. There have been many requests for this over the years and this mini set ought to be the perfect little something for that. Just think, it can be paired up with companion sentiments from Congrats All Ways and so many other previously released sets!

The animated adaptation of the manga had 26 episodes and was produced by Ufotable studios, under Haruo Sotozaki, and released in April 2019. Subsequently, a film titled Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-hen was released in theaters in Japan on October 16, 2020.
Synopsis of Kimetsu no Yaiba
In the Taisho era in Japan, Tanjirou Kamado is a kind and intelligent boy who lives with his family in the mountains.
Tanjirou has become the head of his family after his father’s death, making constant trips to the village at the mountain’s foot to sell firewood and charcoal.
However, his life changes when one day, returning home after spending a night out, he discovers that his family has been killed by a demon.
Tanjirou and her sister Nezuko are the only survivors now, but she has been turned into a demon, although surprisingly, she still shows emotions and seems to have a sense of reason.
After an encounter with Giyuu Tomioka, a demon hunter, Tanjirou decides to become a demon hunter to hunt down the murderer of his family and find a way to return Nezuko to normal.

The NWTRPA’s strategic goal number one is:
“Continue to transform the NWTRPA and influence change in the recreation sector through a commitment to decolonization, reconciliation, and racial equity.”
Actions the NWTRPA identified within its 2023-2026 Strategic Plan that fall under this Strategic Goal #1 are:
Establish and implement a multi-year plan and capacity to review and update NWTRPA governance, management, operations, and offerings through a reconciliation, decolonization, and racial equity lens, with an initial focus on:
- Adopting/implementing Racial Equity Plan
- The Walking Challenge
- Employee handbook
- Board proceedings and processes
- Staff recruitment and retention
Also supports GOAL #6
Provide onboarding and ongoing professional development for staff and Board members about decolonization, reconciliation and racial equity, and their relationship to recreation in the NWT
Also supports GOAL #6
Develop/sustain reciprocal relationships with Indigenous governments/organizations that respect community priorities and ways of working
Engage with Indigenous governments and organizations and a broad cross-section of stakeholders to develop a culturally appropriate definition of recreation
Also supports GOAL #2
Develop or support resources or initiatives that explore the relationship between colonialism and recreation in the NWT
Advocate for action on decolonization, reconciliation, and racial equity within the recreation sector in the NWT and Canada
“We envision a territory where everyone has access to recreation programs and spaces that foster healthy individuals and families, strong cultures, and vibrant communities.”
– NWTRPA Vision
As recreation leaders, we are asking ourselves what we can do to combat racism generally, and anti-Black racism specifically, in our sector and communities. We are asking ourselves how we can honour the adage of truth before reconciliation and engage in decolonizing our sector.
We cannot understand recreation and parks, past and present, without considering racism and colonialism. Prejudice and discrimination are woven into the fabric of our sector and the first step in combating racism in recreation and parks is acknowledging that fact.
NWTRPA’s Commitment to Reconciliation & Decolonization:
The NWTRPA is committed to reconciliation, decolonization and racial equity. We have undertaken many initiatives to meet this commitment and both of our recent strategic plans (2018-21 and 2023-26) include goals that align with these commitments. Please see below for a timeline of our journey:
The NWTRPA formally initiated our reconciliation and decolonization journey. The Board of Directors formed a working group to explore how the organization might best engage in the 94 calls to action listed in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action (TRC) report. At our 2016 annual general assembly, the NWTRPA membership voted to endorse the TRC Calls to Action and adopted the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) as a framework for future activities.
The Board and staff participated in training facilitated by Dene Nahjo, a Sǫ̀mba K’è/Yellowknife based Indigenous leadership organization, resulting in a shared understanding and definition of decolonization: Decolonization is about transformation and the dismantling of an unjust system. It is about revealing and owning the harms of the past, raising awareness about inequities of the present, but most importantly, about remaking social and political systems in order to truly respect the rights and well-being of Indigenous peoples.
The theme and program of the 2017 NWTRPA and Youth Conference, held in Inuuvik/Inuvik, was focused on decolonization. Notably, the keynote presentation was about recreation at residential schools in the Inuvik region.
The NWTRPA completed a Strategic Plan (2018-2021) with a primary goal to work with intention to advance decolonization and reconciliation through their work, workplaces, and relationships. The organization’s strategic plan included developing a program review process to guide and determine if NWTRPA program content, services, and delivery are in line with their commitment to decolonization and reconciliation. In 2018, in partnership with Dr. Crystal Gail Fraser, a Gwichyà Gwich’in historian at the University of Alberta, the NWTRPA initiated a research project called “How I Survived”: Recreation at Northern Residential Schools. The purpose of the project is to gather stories from survivors in order to document and understand how recreation was a part of the residential school, hostel, and day school experience, as well as the significance of recreation for students. This project is guided by an advisory committee of survivors and intergenerational survivors.
The NWTRPA advocated the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) to include TRC and UNDRIP into their strategic outlook.
Released a statement on racism in recreation and parks.
The NWTRPA awards program was reviewed with the support of Bushkids (an on-the-Land learning initiative based in Yellowknife) and a committee composed of staff, board, and past award recipients. The committee was to provide recommendations on the awards program and on the review process. The NWTRPA is working to implement the recommendations and have updated the terminology, nominations form, criteria, the selection committee composition, and provided options for the physical award and recognition.
The NWTRPA Board of Directors also approved a territorial land acknowledgement for the NWTRPA website, and they implemented a “respect of the land” as the first agenda item for all Board meetings.
The Board of Directors also posted a statement of solidarity with Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc.
The NWTRPA announced a temporary name change of the annual walking challenge. Jennie Vandermeer Consulting was hired in May 2022 to complete a review of the Program with guidance from and advisory committee. Jennie Vandermeer is Sahtúgot'ı̨nę Dene from Délı̨nę, NWT and has extensive experience working with communities across the NWT specializing in the decolonization of policy, programs and services through the acknowledgement and incorporation of Indigenous culture and knowledge.
In an effort to implement ethical space principles, a board meeting was hosted on the Land.
The NWTRPA also posted another statement about National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The number one goal in the NWTRPA’s 2023-26 Strategic Plan is decolonization, reconciliation, and racial equity: Continue to transform the NWTRPA through a commitment to decolonization, reconciliation, and racial equity.
The NWTRPA Board of Directors approved a Racial Equity Plan, a diversity statement for job descriptions, and reviewed and updated the Human Resources Parameters policy with a racial equity lens.
Since 2017 training on decolonization, reconciliation, and racial equity for Board and staff has remained a priority. Topics of subsequent sessions have included: MMIWG2S, anti-racism, facilitated book clubs, ethical space, creating colonial constellations presentation, and UNDRIP.
The organization has also prioritized participating in on the land and cultural activities such as dog sledding, visiting Dechinta’s Łiwe Camp, and learning to clean ptarmigan.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of resources related to Anti-racism, Reconciliation & Decolonization relevant to our sector. If you have a suggestion to include, please let us know.
National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation Reports include a number of historical and modern report, as well as the final report and call to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
TRC 95 Calls to Action
It is important to note that though there are specific calls related to Sports & Reconciliation (#87-91) many other Calls can be interpreted and engaged with across many different sectors.
The Recreation Facilities Association of Nova Scotia developed an Anti-Racism and Discrimination Policy for Recreational Facilities and the Anti-Racism Charter in Recreation.
The National Recreation and Parks Association (United States) published this report on Racial Equity in Parks and Recreation in 2015.
The Canadian Recreation and Parks Association has committed to A Journey to Address Systemic Racism and Discrimination.
Parks for All is an Action Plan for Canada’s Park Community created in partnership by the CPRA and the Canadian Parks Council. It’s vision is to support an active and diverse parks community that cultivates shared goals, mutual respect, and collective action.
The NWT Aboriginal Sports Circle continues to champion and support Indigenous Games in the NWT, as well as access to sport opportunities for Indigenous youth.
Hotıì ts’eeda is a research support unit hosted by the Tłı̨chǫ Government and governed primarily by Northwest Territories (NWT) Indigenous Governments. Hotıì ts’eeda connects NWT organizations, and communities with researchers and funding to achieve health research and training goals. It is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
Chloe Dragon-Smith’s Jane Glassco Fellowship policy paper ‘Creating Ethical Spaces: Opportunities to Connect with Land for Life and Learning in the NWT’ presents opportunities to expand and integrate on-the-Land learning into daily life in the NWT, though her work with Ethical Spaces is transferable to many aspects of working within recreation and on the land programming in the NWT.

Creating Pearlescent And Iridescent Effects Using Metallic Color Pigments
Every metallic floor coating differs from each other unlike is the case with solid-color pigment or chips. Floors coated with these feature a glossy and deep-looking floor appearance and there are a variety of colors and visual effects.
Some of the coatings feature a beautiful three-dimensional appearance that gives the illusion of craters, ripples, and swirling rivers of metallic-looking plasma. For that reason, you will get a good solution whether you are looking for a solution for retail establishments, nightclubs, automotive showrooms, residential interiors or garage floors.
There are many reasons you might be interested in buying metallic color pigments just the same way with buying garage epoxy floor coating. For metallic color pigments, the base is a clear epoxy or polyaspartic base and the metallic powder used will color the translucent floors.
Dispersing metallic mica pigments in a variety of binders will also create seamless floors.
They are applied through a number of ways, the most effective being to pour lines out of a bucket or using a watering pot for more control of the pour and to avoid anything from going to waste. You then use a squeegee trowel to spread the coating once it is on the floor. If using two colors, it is advisable to pour each color in an opposite direction. Do not pour one color on top of another.
To achieve a more extreme, exotic look, squeegee or roll out a single color and then apply another one the “dipping and shaking” way with a brush, a stir stick, etc.
A roller is then used once these colors are down, which makes sure you move the colors around or rather you can just leave it alone.
Another way to apply is through a one-stroke backroll which gives an acid stain look. Avoid blending the colors too much and going from multiple colors to just one color created from over rolling or squeegee.
Therefore ensure to avoid over rolling your backroll. Solvents such as MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), xylene, denatured alcohol and isopropyl alcohol can be applied when your product gets tacky. You can play around with different types of solvents in order to end with different effects and looks.
Using a spray bottle to apply the solvent in order to achieve the crater ripple effects will yield craters of the same size. Instead, you can pour the solvent into an open 1-gallon bucket and then use hands to scoop it out and flick it onto the floor. However, ensure you don’t over flood the floor as you go crazy with the solvents because that makes you lose your effects.
Durability: Metallic color pigments are also exceptionally durable given the very high solids count and the high-performance epoxy or polyurethane resin. They add durability because they are resistant to oil, salt, chemicals, acids, water and wear as any other high-performance epoxy floors and garage epoxy floor coatings.
Easy maintenance: These types of floor coating solutions are also easy to maintain and will reflect an outstanding amount of light because of the glossy nature of the surface. However, they can be a little slippery when wet.

St Vincent and the Grenadines secured a spot in the 2014 Youth Olympic Games when Rodell Fraser and Delshun Welcome won the male segment of the Eastern Caribbean Volleyball Association (ECVA) Zone of the NORCECA Round of the Youth Olympic Beach Qualification Tournament, which ended in St. Lucia on Sunday.
Fraser and Welcome won the gold medal and booked a berth for SVG to the 2014 Youth Olympic Games, when beach volleyball makes its debut.
There was more history making achievement, as it will be the first time SVG will be represented at the Olympic Games in a team sport.
The pair formalized their unbeaten run in the tournament, in near dominating fashion over Dominica’s Arden Elmes and Yahn Florent, taking both matches in the best of three final series.
The Vincentians won both matches 2-0. They had to ward off a defiant Elmes and Florent in the first match, but came through 21-16, 22-20. In the second match, Fraser and Welcome blew away their opponents 21-9, 21-5.
In addition, they finished the two-day tournament, dropping only one set and ended with a 10-1 win /loss ratio.
Before meeting Elmes and Florent, Fraser and Welcome saw off Grenada’s team of Sherman Clement and Jayvon Gilbert in two straight matches, to sweep the series without many complications.
The Vincentians won 2-0 (21-14, 21-15 ) and (21-14, 21-11).
And, it was an expected result according to Fraser and Welcome, who concurred that they were the best pair show.
“We knew we were the best from day one… We knew once we trained hard, it would have come easily for us… We trained very hard for this for the past two months, now we are overjoyed,” Fraser said with a broad grin.
Both acknowledged though, that they would have to work harder, to ensure that they are the two who head to China in August 2014.
Second place Dominica had a harder route to the final, taken to the golden set by the St. Lucian combination of Alexander Augier and Andre Marquis.
St Lucia won match one- 2-0 (21-11, 22-20), but Dominican sent the contest into a golden set, as they took match two 2-1 (21-23, 21-10, 15-11).
Elmes and Florent edged out Augier and Marquis in the golden set, 16-14 in thrilling fashion.
St Lucia came away with the third spot, taking the two matches at the expense of Grenada. St Lucia won 2-0 (21-12, 21-15) and 2-0 (23-21, 21-13).
But it is not all over for Dominica and St Lucia, as they have another chance at qualification in the second round which begins next year.
Full Day’s Results
FINAL Best of three: VIN d DMA 2-0 (21-16, 22-20) and 2-0 9 21-9, 21-5). Semi-finals – VIN d GRN 2-0 and 2-0 (21-14, 21-15) and (21-14, 21-11). LCA DMA 2-0 (21-11, 22-20) . DMA d LCA 2-1 (21-23, 21-10, 15-11). Golden Set: DMA d LCA 16-14. Third Place SLU d GRN 2-0 (21-12, 21-15) and 2-0 (23-21, 21-13)

Restaurant payment app Cover has just raised $5.5 million in a new round of funding, according to the company's blog. The free app, which launched last year, allows diners to pay for a meal without even looking at the check. Users simply check-in at the restaurant, order as usual, and then Cover pays the bill with a user's registered credit card. Cover can even splits the bill evenly amongst members of your party.
Forbes reports that the company plans on using the recent investment to launch a new marketing campaign and redesign the app. According to TechCrunch, Cover will also use the money to double their staff (from seven full-time employees to 15) and to "work on restaurant and user acquisition." TechCrunch notes that the app previously raised $1.5 million in seed funding and can count Eater and Resy co-founder Ben Leventhal amongst its investors. Cover's blog reveals that the app is currently partnered with over 100 restaurants including Alder and Bar Primi in New York City and Coi and Wayfare Tavern in San Francisco.

Jam Tree, an upmarket restaurant is in the eye of a storm after one of its managers allegedly racially abused a patron.
A patron identified as Nyarie Munda, took to social media to complain over the treatment they received at the joint.
Munda wrote on Facebook on how he was ‘embarrassed’ and ‘insulted’ by The Jam Tree white manager for parking at an undesignated place.
“I’d like to name and shame the owner of The Jam Tree. Yesterday my wife and I went to get food at this establishment, and on getting there, we asked if we could park in the back car park by the golf course whilst we wait for our food,” he said.
He said they parked on the grass without paying much attention and the owner got into a tirade.
“The waiter told us it was okay and we should park in the usual spot. We drove there and parked on the grass literally 3 metres away from the owners car. There was a gardener there watering the grass and he didn’t seem to have an issue with where we parked. To my surprise this white South African guy(the owner), came from nowhere and started yelling at us for parking on wet grass. The guy called us dumb, stupid and all sorts of derogatory words. Surprisingly I kept my cool and said I’m sorry for parking here, i was directed here and it’s just grass, however there’s no need to talk to us like that,” Munda added.
He says he urged the manager to communicate properly since he was a regular customer of over 8 years, and were there to promote his business but the manager went to to jump right back into a crazy fit and said his business does not need people like “him” supporting his business.
It was at that point he thought he could get beaten by the manager.
“He kept pulling crazy faces, taunting me, storming away then coming back as if he’s about to fight. Once again I kept calm and watched this mad man talk to us like we are worthless. I apologised again and cautioned him to address clients nicely but he wouldn’t have it and started with the insults again.He then stormed into Jam Tree, where we heard him yelling at the workers at the top of his voice. Soon after the waiters including the chef rushed to the car park and started apologising on this guys behalf,” said Munda.
Munda promised never to visit the establishment again.
His account triggered a conversation around racism at the place, with some patrons saying they received the same treatment.
On the local trip adviser web page, customers laid out the same allegations which received support from many who claimed to have faced the same.
One Trip Advisor user said; “ The manager of this establishment is a very racist white man who treats black customers like dogs. I went there for a meal with my family and he was very rude and shouted at us as if we were animals. But every other white person was treated with respect.”
The restaurant issued an apology over the incident, saying they cannot be racist because they ‘teach black people how to mix drinks every now and then.’
“To all our loyal customers, as most of you are aware, there has been a post circulating on social media in which one of our managers has been accused of racism. Of course, when something like this happens, there is not a clear path to response as it is a very sensitive subject in today’s society. The first thing we would like to put out there is whilst the owners of Jam Tree acknowledge that an incident took place, we vehemently deny it was a racist attack in any way,” the statement read.
They said they sell local products, so they cannot be racist.
“Jam Tree prides itself as being a multi-cultural venue. This shines through in everything we do. From our music policy to the food we serve, the drink brands we support including many local products, we are a proudly multi-cultural venue.
The manager in question has been uplifting staff in the industry by giving free bartender flaring lessons every week since he joined us. Most importantly. We would like to strongly emphasize that we are not racist. We, however, will work tirelessly to make sure there’s mutual understanding between management and patrons. We also sincerely apologize to Nyari and his wife for the unfortunate event,”added Jam Tree.
Their apology was seen by some as a case of trying to escape a racism storm by invoking a few instances of benevolence towards black people.
Other claims said Jam Tree has a whites only section, a spectacle unexpected in post-colonial Zimbabwe.
