Bemidji Area Schools, teachers agree on new contract
BEMIDJI--Bemidji Area Schools board members approved Monday a new contract with the Bemidji Education Association, the school district's teachers union.
BEMIDJI-Bemidji Area Schools board members approved Monday a new contract with the Bemidji Education Association, the school district's teachers union.
The two-year agreement calls for a restructured salary schedule for district teachers this school year, retroactive to July 1, and across-the-board 2 percent raises the next.
"The salary schedule for 2017-18 reflects a restructuring to address concerns that Bemidji's salary schedule is below market comparable school districts at the beginning and end of teachers' career with Bemidji," Jordan Hickman, the school district's human resources director, told board members.
This year's salary bumps range from an extra $600 per year to $1,400, depending on a given teacher's education and experience. Figures provided in an appendix of the contract put some raises, especially those for newer teachers, as high as 3.5 percent.
"We wanted to bump up our starting teacher salary because that was really low," said Jason Koester, the union's president. Staff compared starting teacher salaries at 10 similarly sized school districts in Greater Minnesota such Moorhead and Grand Rapids, he said. "Out of those 10 schools, our starting salary was dead last. So we're trying to bump that up to be more competitive."
Hickman said Bemidji Area Schools had the second-highest salary for mid-career teachers and the fifth-highest salary for teachers near the end of their time there.
The new contract also bumps the district's insurance premium contributions next school year, but not this one, and revises its grievance procedure. The district and union also agreed to eliminate two health insurance plan options as well.
The "total package" compensation increase over both years is 4.19 percent, according to documents supplied at Monday's board meeting, which also indicate the district will pay for part of the pay raises with money that would otherwise go to some retirees' fringe benefits that Hickman said are being phased out.
And outside of the contract, district and union leaders agreed to put half of Bemidji Area Schools' revenue earmarked for staff development-a projected $349,000 of $698,000 total-back into the general fund this year and next.

Unwanted surface waves can be detected by noting additional unexpected signals on
the waveform display. If these signals can be damped and traced to their source
using an oil-wetted finger as explained in 18.104.22.168, unwanted surface waves are
j. When designing shoes for curved surfaces, the sound beam path in the shoe and the test part must be
considered in order to assure coverage of the area of interest within the test part. Generally the sound
beam path in the shoe can be considered to be a straight projection of the face of the search unit; in
almost all cases the sound travel in the shoes will be in the near field, characterized by no beam spread
(see paragraph 22.214.171.124.2 and Figure 5-12). The beam path in the part can be obtained by using Snell's
Law to determine the refracted angle at various points across the sound beam where it enters the test
part surface (see paragraph 126.96.36.199 and Figure 5-43).
Figure 5-43. Example of Determining the Sound Beam Path in a Test Part with a Curved Surface.
k. With certain inspection setups, particularly when using shoes to generate straight beams in parts with
curved surfaces, multiple reflections from the shoe-to-test part interface can interfere with the
inspection. To avoid this, the shoe shall be made thick enough to avoid interference with the intended
inspection application. Consider the inspection setup shown in Figure 5-44. It is important only that
the inspector be able to recognize and identify indications on the waveform display. Reflections caused
by the shoe are easily recognized simply by raising the shoe off the surface of the material. If the
indications remain on the screen, the plastic shoe is the cause. Slotting the shoe as shown in Figure 5-
41 may reduce or eliminate such interference signals. It is not necessary for the operator to calculate
the sound paths to and from various reflectors. However, it is important the operator know how to
recognize nonrelevant indications from the reflectors and minimize their cause.

The mayor and aldermen continue to wrangle over a budget for the city. Meanwhile, residents and students on the West Side and seniors across the city await a decision on whether funding will be restored for the West Side Community Branch Library, or whether it will be shuttered, as mentioned on LivableMHT back in March.
The aldermen have until the June 9 to approve a budget, or the mayor’s proposal–with a 3.37% increase in local property taxes but drastic cuts from the state and federal levels resulting in overall cuts to transit, libraries, schools and other areas critical to a vibrant community–will go into effect July 1. Obviously, structural changes at the state level (and allowing greater flexibility at the municipal level) are needed to ensure more reliable revenues and efficiency, and for the city and region to be strong, competitive and attractive places to live, visit, study and work in the future. The debate over what those changes should entail are a huge topic in themselves, and maybe better left to those with a broader understanding of municipal finance and governmental structure in New Hampshire.
Going forward, though, there are some interesting solutions being employed in other cities to adapt the services and amenities that make a city great to the changes in technology and lifestyle, as well as the economy and demographics.
One such example is the Providence Community Libraries, a non-profit created in July 2009 in response to the Providence Public Library’s plan to close five of that city’s nine branch libraries and reduce service systemwide. While the PCL receives public support through taxes similar to any other public library, it also accepts private donations and is run as a private, non-profit organization. Encouragingly, their first annual report claims a savings of $3 million. It’s impossible to say if a similar arrangement would be possible or desirable in Manchester, or what kind of savings if any it might be able to accomplish, but the PCL represents an innovative, community-led response to a local problem, and one that has ensured the continuation and perhaps even expansion of a vital civic resource.
Manchester’s City Library and its administration seem to have much greater public support than the Providence Public Library did two years ago, and while the West Side branch is threatened, the overall budget doesn’t seem quite as dire. If an independent, community group is needed to support the library system in the future, it seems likely that it could supplement rather than replace the City Library in Manchester. Perhaps the Manchester City Library Foundation could somehow be strengthened and expanded to assume a stronger supporting role.
Unlike Manchester, Providence’s branch libraries are spread throughout the city, creating more of a shared incentive to support the branches. If structural funding changes don’t happen or if the City is unable to sustain the current library system in the future, there’s always a chance that a more focused community group could rally around the West Side branch library. It would be easier, though, to build support if the library system was more geographically balanced, with a central main library and smaller branches throughout the city.
In a city as diverse and with as many dense neighborhoods as Manchester, even small branch libraries serve as an important resource–not just as a place to read and borrow books, but for students to study, children to spend time after school, residents to look for jobs, newcomers to learn English, and community members to gather. Strong, local libraries are good for the community, and for the economy.
It’s possible, especially with community support and funding, that a handful of smaller branch libraries could go into vacant storefronts, or existing community centers and schools in city center neighborhoods such as the Hollow, Somerville and the North End, among other areas, especially in the city’s neighborhood centers or areas targeted for redevelopment. These branches would be especially useful in neighborhoods not within walking distance of either the current main library or West Side branch. Landlords or developers could be given incentives for hosting the branches at reduced rents or incorporating them into new projects in areas where a branch would be suitable.
These new, smaller branches could, perhaps, have just a small inventory on-hand, but provide free access to computers, periodicals and a few volumes particularly pertinent to the local neighborhood, in addition to providing a place within walking distance of many residents to drop books and request pick-ups, which could be efficiently delivered from the main branch. Just as important, these spots could provide a vital, small community gathering spot. In an age when public gathering space and internet access is often more immediately critical than stacks of books, the branches could be low-budget, relatively bare-bones, but inviting and useful libraries, while spreading the benefits and support of local branches throughout the city.
Obviously, this could all happen without requiring a private, community group, but with the budget situation as it is and with an uncertain funding future across the board, that doesn’t seem likely. LivableMHT is deeply skeptical of suggestions of privatizing public services or amenities, but there’s a good deal of merit to many public-private partnerships; and as the economy and demographics continue to evolve, it might be necessary to explore how community-based, non-profit organizations can help support and enhance those publics institutions that make Manchester an attractive, livable city for current and future residents.
There may be better ideas for improving and sustaining the city’s library system; this is just one, very rough idea. Despite the growing prevalence of e-readers and wi-fi, and the demographic and economic changes of late, libraries are remain important community assets, and there needs to be some discussion about how to sustainably fund, adapt and, yes, expand them to meet future needs.

Our friend in Asheville thought we would enjoy the LaZoom City Comedy Tour and she was right on point.
The 90-minute open-air bus tour winds its way through charming Asheville and manages to impart quite a bit of local flavor and history between the funny, corny, and sometimes bawdy, commentary.
This is a great city – chock full of unique locally owned shops and restaurants (over 90%) and more craft breweries than anywhere else in the country. You can bet the breweries are mentioned during this tour, which allows consumption of wine and/or beer while on board, and includes a rest stop at the Green Man Brewery.
Two facts that made an impression:
- despite the ghost stories, no one died during the Civil War’s Battle of Asheville, and
- last month Asheville’s nationally renowned Wicked Weed Brewing company sold out to Anheuser-Busch. We hope it’s not the start of a trend.

A short, but rigorous hike will reward you with views of the lovely Crab Orchard Falls. Even in this very dry summer, the sound of the water rushing over the rocks is powerful. The falls are extensive and have many levels, but from what I have read, have never been officially measured. Visitors park at the Valle Crucis Episcopal Church, in the upper parking lot. It is well-marked where you should and shouldn’t park and signs will direct you to the trail leading to the Falls.
The 1/2 mile hike takes you up 500′ to an elevation of 3,110′. Benches are conventionality placed every 1/10 of a mile to take any needed breaks. After reaching the top elevation, you will head down towards a network of boardwalks leading to the falls. The boardwalks are not in the best condition and it seems some restoration work may be underway. In general, use caution due to lose rocks, prolific tree roots and the potentially slippery wood walkway. It’s worth the trip.

Each little “pup” is ready to plant.
Who knew that Appalachian State University (ASU) has some amazing greenhouses and conservatory tucked away a couple of miles from campus, behind a commercial area in Bonne, NC.
I had the opportunity to tour this wonderful ASU facility and see plants from, literally, every country in the world. There were so many unusual and amazing varieties. We had a crash course in plant adaptation and got up close and personal with plants that mimic rocks, house ant farms, emit unpleasant odors, and produce mini-me offspring all by themselves. We had botany and world geography lessons rolled into one.
They have two plant sales a year (usually May and September) and also offer some public classes; volunteers are needed and welcome.

Re: Moving Periodicals Collections/Handling the Dust Jill Brungardt 15 Feb 2006 18:28 UTC
We have a small staff and a few student workers. We are ALWAYS dusting
and vacuuming our stacks. It is a continual project because it takes a
lot of time and a TON of effort to lug the vacuum upstairs. You can only
do it for an hour at a time before it's just to heavy. We dust more
often, but try to do the dusting when we can vacuum it right up. There
is a lot of information on the "cleaning of stacks". I am sure others
will have some great references, but if not, email me directly and I
will send you what I have.

We're getting ready to move our bound periodicals collection from its
current home on our first floor to the basement. I was digging around
the shelves the other day doing some shifting (we're low on student help
these days!) and couldn't believe the amount of dust on the shelves and
the volumes. I worry that when we move the collection, we will stir up
so much dust that staff and library patrons may get sick
I couldn't find anything in the library literature, but wonder if you
have students/custodians dust the stacks on a regular basis or if you
had recommendations on the best way to clean the collection (vacuums,
wet rags) before it gets moved.
If nothing else, measuring the dust on each title may serve as an
intriguing way to gauge use!

As electrification develops, many new companies have sprung up to work on this segment. One of them is Hengchi, which is a brand made by China’s Evergrande New Energy Vehicle Group. They have launched their first product, the Hengchi 5 SUV. It has even started to send the full electric car to consumers.
Interestingly Evergrande itself does not have a background as an automotive manufacturer. However, they have prepared a big map to penetrate the global market. Evergrande’s vision also received a fairly lively response from the community. It is evident from the number of pre-orders received two weeks after the launch of Hengchi 5 last July which reached 37,000 units. Later, after the first model launched, the second product will be ready to be introduced and enter production in the first half of 2023. The third model will follow in the second half of 2023.
So what makes Hengchi 5 attractive? The first is its form in the form of an SUV. This is a concept that people are interested in today. Its dimensions are 4,725 mm long, 1,925 mm wide and 1,688 mm high. Then its ability as a fully battery-powered vehicle. The Hengchi 5 has a power output of 204 hp and 305 Nm of torque which comes from a single electric motor at the front wheels. It’s not an impressive number, but still powerful.
While the battery capacity of 72.8 kWH type lithium phosphate is able to allow the car to travel as far as 700 kilometers (based on NEDC testing). The power supply can be charged with fast charging for about 28 minutes for charging from the 30% to 80% position.
Embedded technology is no less interesting. It already has a level 2 autonomous driving system called Hengchi H-Pilot. Consists of various features such as Lane Change Assist and an automatic parking system. While the interior is made contemporary, luxurious and full of gadgets. Massive sunroof covers the roof.
The dashboard like the future car is made clean with no button knick-knacks. Purely replaced by a screen that is divided into 3. The main display measuring 14.6 inches, while the two screens for the driver and passengers measuring 10.25 inches. All information, both about vehicles and multimedia, is clearly displayed there. All three are already connected with 5G connectivity through the Baidu operating system.
The center console is also not much different, the control functions are made small so that the clean concept is fully obtained. Not to forget in the area there is a wireless charger to charge electronic devices.
Hengchi 5 itself is priced from $ 26,000 and is only presented in 1 variant. However, consumers can choose it in a variety of color options such as white, red, blue, black, brown and silver.

Marc Faber: The current system in the developed markets is not sustainable
Marc Faber, editor and publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, shared his perspective on these shifting dynamics along with his concerns that policy makers have increased the risk of unintended economic consequences, at the 2016 Financial Analysts Seminar in Chicago.
China occupies an important space in the current economic landscape. The country embraced the infrastructure growth model to catapult itself into a high-growth phase — following the examples set by Japan starting in 1950 and the Asian Tiger economies of South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore in the 1960s and 1970s — and it has been the driver of substantial economic activity for other emerging market countries, especially in Asia and Africa. The Export-Import Bank of China overtook the World Bank in 2011 as the biggest lender to sub-Saharan Africa, and China is the leading financier of infrastructure projects on the African continent.

Start your own button-making business
and earn $50.00 an hour! I'll show you how
Ever thought of starting your own business?
One you could operate from home?
One that would be fun and profitable?
If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, then making buttons (also known as badges) could be what you've been looking for!
In the following article, I am going to share my own button-making experiences and show you how you can earn more than $50.00 an hour making buttons.
Sound too good to be true?
Give me a few minutes of your time and I'll show you how.
My First Button-making Breakthrough
My first breakthrough as a button-maker came in 1991, while attending a week-long convention of the National Association of Letter Carriers, in New Orleans.
I had previously been a Letter Carrier and I decided to take my button machine to the convention in hopes of making and selling buttons.
My strategy was simple... I set up a folding table on the sidewalk outside the convention center and sold buttons to the conventioneers as they made their way into the convention each morning, and then again each afternoon as they were leaving the convention center.
To replace the buttons I sold each day, I simply made more each night in my hotel room.
The buttons I made had sayings that were popular with Letter Carriers; sayings like "Union Letter Carrier... and Proud of It!", "My Supervisor is Dumber than Your Supervisor" and one that said "National Association of Letter Carriers Convention - New Orleans, Louisiana- 1991" that served as an inexpensive souvenier for anyone who attended the convention.
To make a long story short, I sold $1800 worth of buttons ($1.50 each, or 4 for $5.00) during the five days I was at the convention!
That's me, on the left, in the photo above. Notice the smile on my face... and the large wad of cash in my left hand.
As I was driving home, after the convention, it struck me that I just might be onto something. I had been looking for a way to earn additional income and this experience had been fun and profitable, so I decided to give it a shot.
And that, my friend, is how Dr. Don's Buttons came to be.
Earn $50.00 an hour (or more) making buttons!
Earlier I told you I would show you how to earn $50.00 an hour making buttons and if you will give me a few more minutes of your time, I will walk you through the process and share some of the most profitable button-making ideas I've come up with. Ideas you are free to use yourself.
Sports and School Activity Buttons
One of the more profitable button-making ideas I've come up with, is what I call "Personalized Sports and School Activity Buttons". I will use them as my first example to show you how easy... and how profitable button-making can be.
Not long after the convention in New Orleans, I received a call from a woman whose son attended a high school in our area. She wanted to know if I could make buttons for their booster club; buttons they could then resell at the games for a profit.
I told her I could, and the result was the concept of "Personalized Sports and School Activity Buttons", samples of which are shown below.
What makes this type of button so profitable is that they are personalized. Each button will have the name and/or jersey number of a player, as well as the name of the school and the team.
Family members love this type of button, since they are far more meaningful than a button that merely says "Football Mom" or "Basketball Dad".
To make Personalized Sports and School Activity Buttons, you start by creating a template that includes both the school name and the team name. After that, you add a graphic that represents the particular sport you are working with.
After you have created the template (and saved it), simply enter each player's name and/or jersey number on the template. Then, repeat the process until you have buttons for all the players, in the quantity you need.
When I first started doing these buttons (in the mid 1990's), I sold them for $1.50 each. The booster club would then turn around and sell them to the player's parents, grandparents, and girlfriends for $3.00 - $4.00 each.
I was happy, the families were happy, and the booster club was happy, too!
One of the things I enjoyed about this arrangement was that I didn't have to sell the buttons myself; the booster club did!
However, if you are going to the games anyway, you might be able to sell the buttons yourself and significantly increase the amount of profit you would earn.
For more ideas on how to make money, making this type of button, click here.
Determining Your Costs and Your Profits
When you do buttons in this manner, here's how to determine your costs and the amount of profit you would earn.
Let's say you receive an order for 100 personalized Sports Buttons and you sold them for $2.00 each (you are free to charge whatever you wish, but when someone asks us to produce them now, that's what we typically charge).
100 x $2.00 equals $200.00 in total sales.
(With football teams, where you may have 50 or more players on a team, an order of 100 buttons is realistic. And don't forget... most high schools have Freshman, Junior Varsity and Varsity teams).
The next step is to determine the cost of the supplies needed to make 100 buttons.
Purchased in a quantity of 1000, the cost per button works out to be 11 cents each.
(11 cents x 100 = $11.00)
Now, we need to factor in the cost of printing the designs.
If you're using an inkjet printer, that would be the cost of your ink and paper.
I doubt that it would be this much, but let's say that averaged out to be 5 cents per design.
(5 cents x 100 = $5.00)
So, the cost of materials to make 100 buttons would be about $16.00.
$200.00 - $16.00 = $184.00
In this example, your net profit would be $184.00.
Now, to determine how much you would be earning per hour, divide the amount of time you would spend making the buttons into the amount of profit you have earned.
You know it's going to take a certain amount of time to design your buttons. In the beginning, it will take a bit more time, but after creating the initial design, it's easy to save your designs and use them as templates so the next time you want to make buttons, you simply change the school name and team name for each school you are working with.
When your template is ready, then all you need to do is type in the player's name (and if applicable, their jersey number) with your graphics program and print the number of designs you need for each player.
This might take anywhere between 60-90 minutes. Let's say it takes you 90 minutes.
After printing your designs, you now need to cut them from the printed sheets and then make your buttons.
Inexpensive button machines, like those produced by Badge-A-Minit, are only able to make about one button or badge a minute, (60 buttons per hour). They also have a tendency to produce poor quality buttons, where the edge of the paper design or plastic covering may stick out the sides of the button or where the button falls apart after being made because the edge of the buttons weren't crimped tightly.
On the other hand, our Model 225 button machine is capable of producing 4 or 5 buttons per minute and buttons made with the Model 225 will be professional quality. They will not suffer the poor quality issues described above.
And as you can imagine, faster and better... is better, when you are making buttons you are going to sell!
With our Model 225, it will take you about 30 minutes to make 100 buttons.
The next step in the process is to then verify each button and make certain you spelled each name correctly, that the correct jersey number appears on each design, and that you produced buttons for everyone who ordered them.
Let's add another 15 minutes to do that.
Using this example, the amount of time you would likely spend creating 100 personalized sports buttons would be about 2 hours and 15 minutes (135 minutes).
Now let's divide the $184 profit you earned, by the 135 minutes you would likely spend doing the buttons. As you can see, the amount you earn would be $1.36 a minute or $81.60 an hour.
Now, imagine how earning more than $50 an hour could change your life.
Political Campaign Buttons
The thing that keeps more people from making political campaign buttons is simply that they lack the ability to create the specialized backgrounds politicians want on their buttons. Things like flags, banners... you know, political-looking stuff.
I know, because when I first started to make buttons in 1990, that's what kept me from making them.
I wanted to make political campaign buttons (because I knew there was good money to be made) but I didn't have the ability to create the backgrounds myself and I couldn't afford to pay a graphic artist $50 an hour to do them for me.
Because of that, I didn't make political campaign buttons until 1999, some 9 years after I started making buttons.
And the only reason I was able to do so then, was because I hired a full-time graphic artist.
The challenges I went through back then inspired me to put political button templates on CDs and make them available to our customers.
By doing so, now anyone who wants to make political campaign buttons can do so and all you have to do is add text to any of the designs found on any of our Political Button Design CDs.
You can purchase one of our Political Button Template CDs for only $79.95 and get started in the very lucrative field of making political campaign buttons, even if you have absolutely no graphic design experience.
You Won't Believe How Easy it is to Create Political Campaign Buttons
To create a design for a political campaign button, using one of our Political Button Template CDs, simply find a template you'd like to use and open it using any graphics program that can work with .jpg files, or our Online Button Design Studio. Then add the candidate's name and office they are seeking, with the program's text tool.
Once you have the text sized and positioned the way you want, send your design to print.
It couldn't get any easier than that!
Below are examples that show you just how easy it can be to make great looking political buttons, using the templates found on our Political Button Template CDs.
The images in the left column (above) are the templates in their raw state, as you wll find them on our CDs. The images on the right are what your finished buttons might look like after you have added text.
Knowing what I know now, I would have been happy to have paid $500 or more for a product like our Political Button Template CDs. That's because I would have been able to recoup the $500 very quickly and started making incredible profits as soon as I had started making political campaign buttons.
The good news is that our Political Button Template CDs won't cost you $500.
They are only $79.95 each... or can purchase all four for only $259.95
If you don't yet own a button machine, but are ready to get started, you can choose to receive a copy of any Button Design CD we offer, FREE OF CHARGE, when you purchase one of our button-making kits.
Why They're So Profitable!
The reason that making political campaign buttons can be more profitable than Sports Booster Buttons is that they take less time to create.
With Sports Booster Buttons, you must personalize each button and then verify the information for each button.
With political campaign buttons, you typically create one design, duplicate it on your computer, print out the necessary number of designs, and then make however many buttons your customer ordered.
Let's say you were going to make 100 campaign buttons for your candidate and you are going to charge them $100.
To create a campaign button design, using one of our Political Button Templates CDs, simply choose a template, add a few words (their name and office being sought) and send it to print.
That might take 15 minutes.
Once you have printed your designs, you still need to make the buttons and as before, it will likely take about thirty minutes to make 100 buttons.
So the amount of time necessary to design, print, and make 100 campaign buttons would be about 45 minutes.
The cost for the materials to make 100 buttons would be the same as in the previous example, $16.00.
Now, to determine the profit you would earn on this order, let's take the $100 (if that's what you are charging your client), subtract $16.00 for the button parts and printing, which leaves you a profit of $84.00.
But because you only spent 45 minutes to complete the order, what you would earn from this job would work out to be $112.00 per hour... or nearly $1.86 a minute!!
Making Buttons for High School Reunions
Making buttons for high school reunions can also be a very profitable venture.
They are more labor intensive than other types of buttons, but that's what makes them so profitable.

Making Photo Buttons
The easiest way I know of to make money is making photo buttons!
You can take a photograph and turn it into a button that people will gladly pay $5.00 or perhaps as much as $10.00, and do so in as little 15 seconds.
In my opinion, photo buttons are best when done in the 3-inch size.
While you can make photo buttons in any size you wish, people generally prefer photo buttons to be a little larger so they can better see the person's face and they are willing to pay more money for them, when done in a larger size.
I you make your photo buttons in the 3-inch size, you can use photographic prints that measure 3-1/2" x 5", 4" x 5" or 4" x 6", which are all standard photo sizes.
One strategy I have used was to make photo buttons for sports photographers.
As a former photographer myself, I understood why photographers who did photographs of children involved in organized sports often didn't offer sports photo buttons. It wasn't because they weren't incredibly profitable. It was simply due to the hassle of having the lab that produced your photos, send the images to another part of the lab or even to an outside lab to produce buttons. Doing so slowed down the process, and kept the photographer from getting their photos into the hands of the parents.
But once sports photographers in our area learned they could stop by our location, bring a handful of photographs, and have us make sports photo buttons while they waited, we had a steady stream of sports photographers who were doing so.
And while I never did this myself, if you wanted, you could offer a mobile service and go meet the photographers at their location when they called you to do so.
Making Photo Buttons That Include Text
There was a time when making photo buttons that included text was incredibly challenging.
Now, anyone with a computer, and an Internet browser can easily create photo button designs that include text, including curved text and many advanced text options. No computer or graphic design experience is necessary.
And the best part, is, that when you purchase one of our button-making kits, you will receive 90 days of unlimited access to the Online Button Design Studio and the Photo Button Design Studio.
Click here to watch a YouTube video that will show you just how easy it is to create photo buttons using the Photo Button Design Studio.
One thing to keep in mind is that not all button machines have the ability to make quality photo buttons. Badge A Minit button machines have serious challenges in making photo buttons, but our 3-inch button machine, the Model 300 SX can easily make them

What You Need to Get Started
If you would like to get started making buttons, here's what you will need.
Realistically, you will need a computer (or at least access to one).
You will also need is a way to design your buttons.
There are dozens of graphics programs on the market, some of which include CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Publisher, PrintShop, PrintArtist, to name a few.
The better programs can be very expensive and time consuming to learn.
You can use a "DEMO version" of the Online Button Design Studio by clicking here.
You will also need a way to print the artwork for your buttons.
If you have a computer, but don't own a color printer, go ahead and invest in a good one. It's one of the most important investments you will make.
Inkjet printers are very affordable and you can get an outstanding color printer for $100-$150.
You will also need a button machine with which to make your buttons.
Not all button machines are created equal. Some are easy to use; others are not.
Some will make professional-quality buttons; others will not!
Making buttons fast and easy with Dr. Don's Model 225 Button Machine
Shown below is a video of 6 year old Benjamin Singel demonstrating how fast and easy it is to make buttons using our Model 225 button machine. I love having people watch this video because most will say "if a six year can make buttons with a button machine, chances are I can, too".
Making buttons using the slow and cumbersome Badge A Minit Hand Press
Now click here to watch a video that shows just how slow and complicated it is to make buttons using a Badge A Minit hand press.
I think you would have to agree... there's no contest!!
If you plan to sell the buttons you are going to make, you are going to want a button machine that makes professional-quality buttons. Don't waste your money on an inexpensive button machine that makes buttons that are prone to falling apart, or that can leave paper or plastic sticking out the sides.
And don't get a button machine that is slow or difficult to operate.
The button machines we sell are well-suited for operating a small business. They're made of solid steel, so they're durable and dependable. Inexpensive machines are usually made of plastic or a plastic-like compound and cannot stand up to the rigors of making buttons over a long period of time and will produce buttons that are NOT professional quality.
(To see how our Model 225 button machine stacks up against all the 2-1/4" button machines offered by Badge-A-Minit, click here.)
The 2-1/4" is the most popular size button. And our Model 225 button machine, which makes 2-1/4" buttons, is our most popular button machine.
We market the Model 225 as the "Home-based Business Starter Kit".
The "Home-based Business Starter Kit" includes a Model 225 button press, our AC-1 circle cutter (which you use to cut your designs), enough button-making supplies to make 250 pin-back buttons, and three of our Button Design CDs
A scanner to scan artwork and photographs is helpful, but you can get by without one if you are short on cash. Color scanners are available for about $100.
So if you already have a computer (or access to one) it's truly possible to start a highly profitable, home-based button-making business for less than $500.
Making buttons can be lots of fun... and as I've shown, it can also be a very profitable venture!
When you have your own button-making business, you can set your own hours, you can work from the comfort of your own home, and you are your own boss.
Making buttons truly can be the American dream!
If you have any questions about our equipment or button-making in general, feel free to give us a call. Our friendly customer service representatives will be happy to speak with you and answer all your questions.
Think you're too young, or too old, to make buttons?
Nonsense! Our youngest customer started making buttons when he was only 6 years old. In the video above, Benjamin Singel demonstrates how incredibly easy it is to make buttons with our Model 225 button machine.
Click here to learn more about Benjamin Singel and what he has done with his button business over the last 6 years.
And Emmet Wood, of Riverside, California, is well into his 80's and is still going strong making buttons.
So there is no such thing as too young or too old to make buttons.

In preparation for the governorship election in Imo State, scheduled for November 11, the Independent National Electoral Commission, on Monday, lamented that the commission had recorded a shortfall of 6,154 ad hoc staff for the exercise.
Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, the Chairman of INEC, stated this at a two-day capacity workshop for members of the INEC Press Corps in Akwanga, Nasarawa state.
The workshop with the theme “Ethical, Safety Practices and Critical Issues Relating to the Kogi, Imo, and Bayelsa Governorship Elections” is sponsored by Development Alternatives Incorporated.
Yakubu, represented by the National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, said the shortfall was observed at the close of online applications for the recruitment of ad hoc staff for the Bayelsa, Imo, and Kogi governorship elections, adding that the staff would be sourced from the neighbouring states.
“Ad hoc staff portal for the November 2023 off-cycle governorship elections in Bayelsa, Imo, and Kogi states was opened on Thursday, August 31, 2023, at 8 a.m. and closed on Monday, October 2, 2023, at midnight.
“The summary of successful applicants shows that Bayelsa and Kogi have a full complement of their requirement for all categories of ad hoc staff, while Imo has a shortfall of 6,154.
“The shortfall will be sourced from the neighbouring state,” Yakubu said.

Sprint is pushing out a small update for the 7-inch ZTE Optik today, bringing a few welcome bug fixes to the tablet and some decent software enhancements. According to the official changelog, we should be seeing the following:

TELUS has just launched a new app that ties in with their Optik TV service. Canadian customers can now watch a bunch of their subscribed channels streamed wirelessly to Android or iOS tablets and smartphones.

We first outed the $99 ZTE Optik Honeycomb tablet a week ago, and today Sprint has made it official. The 7-inch Android 3.2 device will be available Feb. 5. Spec-wise, the Optik is right up there with most other Android tablets. To wit:

The ZTE Optik just made an appearance in the latest issue of the Sprint Playbook, and it's coming in at the right price. Because Sprint is dropping their Wimax support and building out their new LTE network, this one is going to be a 3G-only device, and at $99 with a new agreement, of course, it's bound to turn a few heads. (Or not, we suppose. We'll see.) Its specs fall in line with any...

The Latest Changes In Grocery Shopping Habits
The ways that pandemics have changed how we shop for food or other groceries have entirely transformed. This evolution of grocery shopping has made significant changes in grocery shopping habits. Below we have highlighted some noticeable changes in changes in consumer behavior.
Increase Preferences Towards Online Shopping
The behavior of consumers has changed to online shopping more as compared to in-store. In the past, customers visited the brick-and-mortar stores and then purchased items, but now with the increasingly busy schedule, one can hardly find time to go shopping. That is why customers are more inclined to online shopping behavior that allows them to shop products in a diverse range from multiple stores from their comfort zone.
The evolution of grocery shopping is also visible in demographic behavior such as age, gender, education, income type, and family types. Every single thing influences the current evolution in grocery shopping. The millennials (age range between 22-36) prefer to shop online instead of going to grocery stores and wasting their hours as the people of this age are currently surviving a very purposeful life in which they have to manage households, jobs, and studies that is why it is pretty difficult for them to visit outside for grocery especially and that is why they are more concerned with online grocery shopping.
Continuous Expansion of Brick-and-mortar Stores
The changes in grocery shopping habits are continuously expanding brick and mortar stores. Now they have their presence in-store and online. In this way, the brick and mortar stores are currently gathering huge profits from both customers. One who prefers to shop online and the other ones who are more inclined to offline shopping. This also enables them to open more locations in multiple cities and reap more comprehensive benefits with more loyal customers. Many people believe that with the expansion of online services now, there is significantly less need for brick-and-mortar stores; however, brick-and-mortar stores are very beneficial for retailers that also play the role of warehouses.
Quick Decline In brand reputation
The latest grocery trends for shopper behavior also involve the quick reviews of customers towards the product and services of specific stores, which spreads quickly over the internet and ultimately reduces the brand's reputation in seconds. In the contemporary trends of grocery and retail stores, gaining positive customer feedback is the biggest asset for the retailers to reap quick rewards.
Healthy, Hygienic, and Sustainable Services
The trends toward online grocery shopping have also increased consumer pressure and preferences for healthy, hygienic, and sustainable services. Therefore the recent trends include sustainable shopping bags that are mostly replacing plastic bags with paper bags that are 100% biodegradable as compared to plastic bags. Many shoppers encourage the consumers to bring changes in grocery shopping habits and use alternatives to plastic bags. This ultimately develops a good image of sustainability in customers' minds towards specific stores or brands. Similarly, now merchants and retailers prefer to sell their products in a more sophisticated way that ensures hygienic and sustainable services and attracts customers. You have seen now in different grocery stores that fruits and vegetables are presented immaculately. Customers prefer to buy the fruits and vegetables from the brick and mortar stores instead of going outside and buying them from a cart.

Gregg Berhalter’s decision to restrict Gio Reyna’s playing time during the FIFA World Cup prompted Reyna’s parents to threaten to expose an incident of possible domestic violence from over 30 years ago. The incident involves Berhalter kicking his girlfriend (and now wife) Rosalind in the legs during an argument. Berhalter and his wife issued a statement in which he expressed his regret for his action at the time and his cooperation with a US Soccer investigation into the matter.
The worst part of it for me is, you know, my heart aches for my wife. You know, because it was her story to tell, whether she chose to or not, and that’s what really, really saddens me.
Claudio Reyna, a former US captain and current sporting director at MLS’ Austin FC, and his wife Danielle admitted in statements to The Athletic and Espn that they pressed US Soccer Federation executives with details about Berhalter’s past.
The moves came after Berhalter told Gio Reyna, his 20-year-old son who plays for Borussia Dortmund, that he would have only a limited role at the Qatar World Cup.
Berhalter and Claudio Reyna played together on youth and high school teams as well as the US national squad and their wives were college teammates at the University of North Carolina.
US Soccer is investigating Berhalter and the incident as well as conducting a World Cup review while considering who will manage the Americans in the upcoming home-field World Cup cycle.
Berhalter said he underwent counseling after the kicking and he has not repeated any physical incidents.
“It was a shameful moment and one that I regret to this day,” Berhalter said. “There are zero excuses for my actions that night.”
Danielle Reyna challenged Berhalter’s characterization of the incident.
“Without going into detail, the statements from yesterday significantly minimize the abuse on the night in question,” she said in a statement.
“Rosalind Berhalter was my roommate, teammate and best friend, and I supported her through the trauma that followed. It took a long time for me to forgive and accept Gregg afterward.”
Reyna said she was upset when he refused her son the consideration she had given him over the incident three decades earlier.
“I worked hard to give him grace,” she said. “I would have wanted and expected him to give the same grace to Gio. This is why the present situation is so very hurtful and difficult.”
Claudio Reyna said there were no threats attached to his comments to US Soccer officials regarding Berhalter.
“While in Qatar, I shared my frustrations about my son’s World Cup experience with a number of close friends, Earnie and Brian McBride among them,” Claudio Reyna said. “However, at no time did I ever threaten anyone, nor would I ever do so.”

(we just read this in issue #120 of Total Guitar, thought it was worth showing fellow shredaholics…)
Use The Lightest Strings You Can Find
Many shredders use .08 gauge string sets. So light you’ll hardly know they’re there.
Lower Your Action
The lower your guitar’s action, the easier it is to fret the notes. Just make sure your guitar is set up properly first to avoid buzzing.
Tune Your Guitar Down 1/2 Step
This will lower the tension of your strings, making them easier to fret.
Use A Lubricant
A product such as Fast Fret will keep your strings slick and clean. You’ll find your digits will glide over them with ease.
Get Your Neck Scalloped
A scalloped fingerboard has the wood scooped out between the frets. All you have to do is lightly tough the string to fret the note, making it very fast – just ask Yngwie Malmsteen!
Keep It Clean
If the back of your guitar neck is covered in sweat and filth, it will slow you down. Give it a good wipe before you play.
Get Your Frets Dressed
This process grinds down your frets until the guitar feels almost fretless. It’s not great for strings bending, but it will make the neck feel much faster.
Avoid Gloss Finishes
Glossy guitar necks may look lovely, but after a while they get very sticky and that will seriously slow you down. Instead, take a leaf out of Zakk Wylde’s book and grab some naked wood.

The Financial Services Board (FSB) is investigating 13 businesses selling funeral policies. It says you should be extra-cautious when buying a funeral policy – from any provider.
The entities under investigation are: Matome Molefe Funeral Service of Mamelodi East, Gauteng; Eyodidi Funeral Undertakers of Khayelitsha, Western Cape; Baxolise Funerals of Mdantsane, Eastern Cape; Zelda’s Wreaths and Coffins of Victoria West, Northern Cape; City Funerals of Nancefield, Gauteng; Devine Casia of Johannesburg, Gauteng; Ndikhokhele Yehova Funeral Service of Richmond, Northern Cape; Infinitum Funeral Assist of Ladysmith, KwaZulu-Natal; Tswelopele Funerals of Koffiefontein, Free State; Itshereletso Funerals of Bluegum Bosch, Free State; Nom and Macc Funeral Services of Mafikeng, North West; Botlhe Funeral Undertakers of Zeerust, North West; and M&P Funeral Services of Hammanskraal, Gauteng.
The FSB says these businesses were asked to provide proof that their funeral policies are underwritten by a registered long-term insurance company, and were given 10 days to respond. They have either failed to respond or have failed to confirm that their policies are underwritten, as required by law.
The FSB investigates and takes action against entities that sell non-underwritten funeral policies. Such conduct breaches the Long Term Insurance Act and amounts to running an unregistered insurance business.
The FSB warns you against using Financika, an offshore online foreign-exchange trading platform that also provides advisory services, and Q International, also trading as Q Asia Pacific. Neither of these operators is an authorised financial services provider, as required by the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act.
The FSB says it has been informed that the American shares that Q International offers to prospective clients may be worthless or non-existent. You are again reminded to check beforehand with the FSB, on either the toll-free number (0800 110 443) or the website, www.fsb.co.za, whether the entity with which you intend doing financial services business is authorised to render such services.
