In reality, though, Pilates can be continued safely during a normal pregnancy with a doctor's permission and following certain guidelines. And Pilates is beneficial to the pregnant body in several key ways that make it very worthwhile.
1) Pilates exercises can be adapted to the varying stages of pregnancy.
Just like Pilates adapts to different fitness levels, its exercises can be adapted and done with varying intensity as the pregnancy progresses. Pilates will help keep the core muscles strengthened to make the rigors of labor easier, and it will also help the balance issues that arise as the baby grows and pushes on back, neck and leg muscles. Certain exercises must be avoided during pregnancy, but the ones that can be done safely are helpful.
2) Pilates is a non-impact form of exercise.
Running, aerobics, and even fitness walking are all considered high impact types of exercise. And while some high-impact exercise methods like walking are still okay for most pregnant women to do, Pilates can offer a safer alternative that won't put additional stress on joints, ligaments and bones.
3) Pilates can strengthen abdominals and prevent diastasis recti.
According to certified Pilates instructor Jenn Seracuse, it is safe for pregnant moms to do exercises that target their transverse abdominal muscles, avoiding work on the rectus muscles (commonly known as the six-pack). By strengthening the transverse abdominal muscles, women can avoid the separation of the 2 sides of the rectus muscle. This separation, known as diastasis recti, affects up to 1/3 of all women and can prevent the abs from returning to their natural state after pregnancy.
4) Pilates strengthens the pelvic floor.
The pelvic floor supports all the organs in the lower abdominal cavity, including the uterus. Furthermore, the pelvic floor needs to relax for baby to pass through, and Pilates is unique in training the pelvic floor muscles to both support the growing uterus and release when it is time for baby to be born. In addition, a strong pelvic floor will help the body return to its pre-pregancy state sooner and prevent problems with incontinence down the road.
5) Pilates helps with breath control.
One effect of the growing baby is pressure on the diaphragm. Lung capacity doesn't change, but it can feel increasingly hard to breathe. The breathing techniques involved in Pilates work the intercostal muscles surrounding the ribcage, which helps with breathing. Being trained to do breathing exercises as part of Pilates can also make learning Lamaze or other breathing techniques for labor and childbirth easier.
When using Pilates as a workout during pregnancy, it is prudent to use extra caution when getting up from and down onto the mat, as well as when using the exercise ball. Exercises that are done while lying prone (face-down) and on the back should be avoided after the first trimester because of undue pressure and circulation problems that can occur.

Whether you're preparing your current home for your vacation, or preparing your vacation home for your departure to your current home, it is important to prepare your home for long-term vacancy. Homes are a significant investment and hold a lot of precious items and memories. Make sure your home is properly prepared for your extended stay away by following the advice in this blog post.
The first step in preparing your home for a long-term vacancy is turning off the water supply, if possible. There is no need for a vacant home to have running water. If nobody plans on bathing, cooking, or using the bathroom in the home, turning off the water supply can prevent water leaks and water damage.
If you cannot turn off the water in your home before you leave, make sure to keep the furnace on. This way the pipes in your home will stay warm enough so they do not freeze and rupture, in the event of unexpectedly cold winter temperatures. Also, make sure to set the home's thermostat to 55 degrees or more to keep the interior at a safe temperature.
While the water of your home should be turned off in the event of an extended stay away, the electricity should remain on. HVAC systems require electricity, which keeps the air in your home circulating. Lights, alarms, and timers are also run by electricity, which can protect your home from burglary or vandalism. Even though the electricity should be left on, refrigerators, freezers, and any appliances that will not be in use should be unplugged. This way you won't be paying an expensive bill, and mold will not collect in your appliances.
If you have delivery services, subscriptions, or services performed at your house on a regular basis, be sure to cancel these things. Inform your newspaper supplier you will be gone for several months, cancel your home's cleaning services, and have your mail forwarded to your new address.
Follow these steps and your home is ready for your departure. While you are away, consider the services available through Paradise Home Watch. Our staff will make sure your home is safe while you are away, offering peace of mind and protecting you from potential problems. To learn more about our services, give us a call at 941-866-2440.


John Tavares was sitting in an empty dressing room last week and talking about his desire for a Stanley Cup, the window of opportunity for an NHL player, and (once again) why he chose to sign with the Toronto Maple Leafs this summer, but his eyes kept darting towards the thick silver band on his finger, which at that moment was cutting off circulation to the rest of his hand.
It took getting married this summer for Tavares to realize that his fingers tend to get bigger in the morning. It's good to know this now, we suppose, because if all goes according to plan this season, Tavares and the rest of the Toronto Maple Leafs will be heading back to the jeweller next summer.
When he does, he'll want to order a championship ring that is at least one size larger than the last one he bought.
Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but that's why Tavares signed in Toronto. He wants to win a championship. And while he has given himself seven years to get it done, he wants to get it out of the way sooner rather than later. That's the immediate goal. Or rather, that's the expectation — both from Tavares and Maple Leafs fans.
It might be unfair to suggest that it's Stanley Cup or bust for the Leafs, who enter training camp on Friday as the prohibitive favourites to go all the way now that they have two of the top-10 centres in the league. At the same time, they've used up their mulligans from the past two years.
It's no longer acceptable to lose in the first round, as they did against Washington in 2017 and Boston in 2018. The rebuild is long over. Their young guys can't use their ages as excuses. Starting on Oct. 3, anything short of playing for a championship will be deemed a letdown.
"I think it's fair, but I still think we have a lot to prove," Leafs centre Auston Matthews, who turns 21 next week, told Postmedia News. "We haven't proven anything. It's been two years in the playoffs and it's been two years with the same results. They can do all the odds and stuff like that, but in the end we still haven't done anything. We still have a lot of work to do.
It's not just the Leafs who will be feeling the crush of expectations this season.
Back in 2015, the Hockey News predicted the Winnipeg Jets would win the Cup this year. After they finished with 114 points in the regular season — second-most in the league — and reached the conference final, the magazine doubled down on that prediction.
For once, the expectations aren't just a case of misplaced optimism. While the rebuild is on for the Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators and Vancouver Canucks, the time is now for a Canadian team to bring the Stanley Cup north of the border. And when it comes to which team will do it, it's all up for grabs.
Bodog betting site had Toronto as the pre-season favourites to win the Cup, with Winnipeg ranked third behind Tampa Bay. But don't discount the Flames or the Oilers.
After an eventful summer where Calgary fired its coach, swapped Dougie Hamilton out for Noah Hanifin, and then added sniper James Neal, the Flames enter the season as perhaps the best team in the Pacific Division. That is, if Edmonton doesn't find a way to rebound from last year's mess and reclaim the top spot.
When you have the best player in the world on your roster, anything is a possibility.
Indeed, there's going to be surprises and disappointments. There always is. No one expected that the Oilers would miss the playoffs last year or that Vegas would win the division and then reach the final. But for the first time in a while, the window is open for a Canadian team to do something special.
When asked about moving on from the Tavares era, Lamoriello was blunt in his assessment on what the Islanders accomplished during Tavares' time in New York.
"There's no aftermath. Players come and go," Lamoriello told New York Post at the Islanders' golf outing Tuesday. "It's different if they had won championships. It's different if they had had a lot of success. They haven't done much — and I don't say that with any disrespect. Haven't been to the playoffs the last couple years. Things haven't worked out the way everybody would have liked them to, from what my understanding is.

El oasis Schirmacher es una meseta libre de hielo de  de largo y hasta  de ancho que contiene más de cien lagos de agua dulce. Se encuentra en la zona de las colinas Schirmacher, en la Costa de la Princesa Astrid, a su vez en la Tierra de la Reina Maud en la Antártida Oriental. Su altitud media es de unos 100metros sobre el nivel del mar. Con una superficie de , el oasis Schirmacher es uno de los oasis antárticos más pequeños, y climatológicamente es un desierto polar típico.

Geografía
El oasis se encuentra entre el borde de la cubierta de hielo de la Antártida y la barrera de hielo Novolázarevskaya. Esta meseta de 100 metros de altitud supone una barrera a la corriente de hielo en dirección norte.

El borde septentrional del oasis contiene lagos superficialmente separados del océano en la superficie, pero que están conectados a él por debajo del hielo superficial, por lo que presentan mareas. Estos lagos contienen agua dulce o bien una capa de agua salada superpuesta por otra de agua dulce.

La capa de hielo de la Antártida, al sur del oasis Schirmacher, alcanza altitudes de 1500m. Los nunataks Skaly Instituta Geologii Arktiki (Skaly IGA) y Basisny-Kit sobresalen de la capa de hielo.

El punto más alto del oasis Schirmacher es el Monte Rebristaya, con 228m. El lago interior más profundo del oasis, con 34,5m, es el lago Glubokoye, y el de mayor superficie es el lago Sub, con 0,5km².

Clima
El clima del oasis Schirmacher es relativamente suave para las condiciones habituales de la Antártida. La temperatura media anual es de -10,4°C (0,9°C en verano frente a -22°C en invierno), la velocidad media del viento es de 9,7m/s, la precipitación media anual es de 264,5mm y hay 350 horas de luz al mes. Debido a su equilibrio térmico positivo, el oasis Schirmacher está clasificado como una «zona de clima costero».

Flora y fauna
El suelo rocoso del oasis solo permite el crecimiento de una cantidad limitada de plantas poco exigentes, como los musgos y los líquenes. Los animales son raros, aunque se ven algunas especies como el págalo subantártico, el petrel antártico, el petrel nível, el paíño de Wilson y, en ocasiones, el pingüino adelaida.

Historia
A comienzos de 1939, Alemania lanzó una expedición bajo la dirección del capitán Alfred Ritscher para explorar un área virgen de la Antártida. La expedición cartografió un área comprendida entre las latitudes 69°10'S y 76°30'S y entre las longitudes 11°30'O y 20°00'E, con una superficie total de  a la que llamó Neuschwabenland, o Nueva Suabia. El área fue reconocida por dos hidroplanos Dornier, Boreas y Passat, uno de los cuales bajo los mandos de Richardheinrich Schirmacher, quien el 3 de febrero de 1939 halló el oasis y el lago en su centro. Schirmacher bautizó los dos con su propio apellido.

Base Novolázarevskaya

El 10 de marzo de 1959, la Unión Soviética montó la base de investigación Lázarev en la plataforma de hielo de la región del oasis Schirmacher. La estación fue instalada de nuevo en 1961 en el oasis y nombrada Novolázarevskaya.

En verano, hasta 70 personas viven y trabajan en la base, cifra que se reduce a una media de 30 personas. Se realizan investigaciones en ciencias naturales, en campos tales como la geodesia, la glaciología, la limnología, el geomagnetismo, la geología, la biología, la meteorología, la sismología, etc.

El 20 de diciembre de 2007, se construyó el baño ruso cerca de la estación, el único edificio de madera laminada encolada de la Antártida.

Base Georg Forster

El 21 de abril de 1976, a unos 2km de la base rusa Novolázarevskaya y a unos , la República Democrática Alemana instaló la primera base alemana en la Antártida, nombrada en 1987 como Base Georg Forster en honor al naturalista alemán Georg Forster. Durante sus 17 años de servicio, más de 100 científicos trabajaron en la base y realizaron notables contribuciones, entre las que destacan sus mediciones del agujero de la capa de ozono. La base dejó de estar activa en febrero de 1993, y en 1996 fue desmantelada.

Tras la disolución del Bloque Oriental, partes del oasis Schirmacher estaban entre las regiones más contaminadas de la Antártida. Exploradores polares del Instituto Alfred Wegener de Investigación Polar y Marina de Bremerhaven y del Instituto de Investigación Ártica y Antártica de San Petersburgo se deshicieron de 1016 toneladas de chatarra y otros residuos de la base alemana y de la cercana base rusa Novolázarevskaya.

El sitio de la antigua base está marcado por una placa de bronce. Está clasificado como sitio histórico de la Antártida (SMH 87) a propuesta de Alemania a la Reunión Consultiva del Tratado Antártico.

Base Maitri

En 1981, la India lanzó su programa antártico. En 1983, se instaló la Base Dakshin Gangotri en la plataforma de hielo, a unos 90km del oasis Schirmacher, pero fue abandonada en 1989 debido a la excesiva acumulación de nieve. En 1988, se instaló la Base Maitri en el oasis Schirmacher, a unos 5km de la Base Novolázarevskaya.

Maitri cuenta con una estación meteorológica y un observatorio geomagnético y sismológico, y puede albergar a unos 26 científicos y técnicos.

Shinji Finally Finds Happiness in New Evangelion Mag
Anniversary mook showcases new goods and some confusion for fans
Kara Dennison
June 16, 2019 10:06pm EDT (6/16/19)
It's a busy time for Evangelion. Netflix is squaring up to stream the series, merch line RADIO EVA is celebrating ten years, and (hopefully) we're getting the next Rebuild movie next year. In the midst of all this, a new magazine cover has caught fans' eyes for more than one reason.
The aforementioned RADIO EVA is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a new mook featuring upcoming merchandise offerings, event teasers, and messages from famous names associated with the franchise. The cover features new art by Mai Yoneyama, the character designer for Kiznaiver and sub-character designer for FLCL Progressive, of Shinji and Asuka having a grand old time at the beach:
The art is gorgeous... but in particular, it looks like Yoneyama is hoping to get Shinji out of his awkward phase. Some Japanese fans have reacted asking who the good-looking guy is... while others have pointed out that they appear to be running next to the sea of blood from End of Evangelion, which puts a whole new spin on this happy picture.
It's also worth noting that Shinji is literally wearing a shirt featuring that exact beach. Considering they're both decked out head to toe in RADIO EVA apparel (including Asuka's LONGINUS tote displayed on the cover), odds are we'll be able to buy it for ourselves.
The mook is currently available to order from the RADIO EVA website.

Metro Nashville Public Schools will have a full plate in 2018, with much of it aimed at continuing to improve student performance and parent satisfaction.
Thanks to a highly competitive $15.9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education, MNPS will create five more elementary magnet schools (grades K-4) for the 2018-19 school year.
Each new middle school has a specialty, so parents and students can pick and choose what's most important to them and attend with a voucher. Students will be able to ride for free on Metro buses to any school in the district.
MNPS is hosting its annual School Choice Festival Monday, Jan. 23 from 5-7 p.m. at The Fairgrounds. Representatives of all Metro Schools come together to share the programs and services they offer for students to meet a variety of interests, talents and needs.
The 2018-19 school choice application process begins Jan. 10, and the application deadline will be Feb.2.
This year's festival takes place after the optional school's application has been released.
Many families move during winter break, so this change will allow more time for families to prepare for the application process. At the event, families may visit with as many school representatives as they like, meet teachers, learn more about school programs and sign-up for school tours.
"We are trying to attract middle class families to attend public school again because without diversity we cannot have equity," Michaud says.
Metro Nashville Public Schools Director Shawn Joseph says 2018 will be about deepening the "culture of collaboration" at MNPS.
"We will continue to empower our people through professional growth and shared accountability – all of this to promote active student engagement and consistent improvement in academic achievement so that they will realize our goal of exceeding great expectations," Joseph says.
Here are MNPS descriptions of the new elementary magnet programs.
Inglewood Elementary engages students through critical thinking, collaboration and communication in a warm, demanding environment. Our unique approach to learning ensures every student experiences integrated instruction specializing in the environmental sciences.
Quarterly STEAM challenges provide students with the opportunity to design potential solutions to real world environmental issues through literacy, math, science and social studies.
Solutions are developed utilizing the engineering design process and abundant technology. We partner with scientists from Vanderbilt University, the University of West Virginia, the American Alliance for Innovative Systems and various community experts to provide learning experiences in the classroom, in the STEAM lab, and in the field.
STEAM is further enhanced through enrichment opportunities including a musical band, art studio, onstage performances, STEAM enrichment clubs, creative after-school care, multimedia Maker Space and a hydroponic greenhouse.
Students will engage in hands-on, immersive and experiential learning opportunities that will develop investigation, research and procedural skills. Students will develop STEAM-focused technology and coding skills, achieve mastery of science content, and improve their informational writing skills.
Partnerships with Vanderbilt University's Center for Science Outreach, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and the Nashville Zoo will expand students' knowledge and interest in scientific processes in the biological sciences.
The school's revitalized arts program will add new disciplines and content to the arts curriculum and integrate arts into core subject instruction to help students build skills in critical thinking communication, collaboration, and creativity. Warner will foster strong partnerships within the Music City community to provide unique instructional and enrichment experiences to students in a diversity of arts disciplines not currently offered in other MNPS elementary schools.
Enhancements to the arts program include a dance studio equipped with mirrors, flooring and ballet bars; individualized music instruction (piano, percussion and string instruments), and an art studio equipped with easels, pottery wheel and kiln. In addition, students will have the opportunity to learn about video production by creating their own daily newscasts.
The program will provide students with in-depth exposure to environmental engineering through a new thematic curriculum integrated across core content areas. Enhanced related-arts curricula and a new engineering class, enrichment activities, outdoor lessons, field trips and clubs, and partnerships with local organizations with expertise in science and engineering will provide real-world connections for students.
Each grade level will incorporate project-based applications of STEAM concepts and skills using the research-based Engineering is Elementary curriculum as a foundation. The school will work with the Adventure Science Center in the areas of environmental sciences, physics and engineering, and with Vanderbilt University's Department of Engineering where students will learn to code robots to perform simple functions.
Metro Schools introduces a new Early College High School program at Middle College High School for the 2018-19 school year. Admitted students can fast track their college plans or begin building a career by simultaneously earning a high school diploma and college associate's degree in just four years – and at no cost to families.
The program will offer a rigorous curriculum providing higher education and industry partnership experiences for students. The application process is open to current 8th graders who will enter high school as 9th graders in the 2018-19 school year. A total of 100 seats are open for qualified applicants. Students will be responsible for their own transportation to and from the school.
Students will participate in STEAM project-based learning modules in order to instill an entrepreneurial mindset that fosters innovation, risk-taking, and perseverance. The school's goal is to prepare students for careers that do not yet exist as well as develop 21st century skills – creativity, collaboration, communication and critical thinking.
Entrepreneurial design will be integrated through the use of interdisciplinary thematic curriculum building a foundation within the areas of science, technology, engineering, art and math. Students will utilize an innovation lab and launch simulation as they work through the design process.
Students will learn from partners, entrepreneurs, innovators and other professionals who share the entrepreneurial mindset within the STEAM industry. Students will have time throughout the program to develop their own ideas, build on skills that are most challenging to them, work with specialists to enrich their learning, and dig deeper into their projects.

Every family has its own Christmas rules: presents in the morning or after lunch, always turkey or always goose. This Christmas, my family added another commandment to our list of festive dos and don'ts - no talking about Brexit.
For the sake of family harmony, I am happy to report that Christmas Day and Boxing Day passed without a single mention of the 'B' word. That said, with the deadline to exit the EU getting ever closer, even if Brexit didn't cross my lips it was never far from my mind. Now, with the festivities over and my family's ban lifted, I just wanted to mention two things about this pivotal issue.
The first is that we expect continued uncertainty over Brexit to be one of the factors that could make investment markets volatile over the coming year. Secondly, I want to reassure you that as a business we are fully prepared for wherever the Brexit process may lead.
With our focus on long-term wealth preservation, we believe we are well positioned from an investment point of view. Volatile markets often throw up opportunities. Indeed, we were adding to positions during the market sell-off in the final quarter of 2018. We believe that remaining focused and ready to grasp any opportunities that arise is the best way to prosper in these uncertain conditions.
Saying goodbye to the EU was never going to be easy, nor is saying goodbye to our investments. As well as adding to positions during 2018, we also completed the sale of some holdings that have been in our portfolios for a long time. Taking the decision to sell long-held positions can be difficult, and it is this element of our process that we set out to explore in this Quarterly Letter.
I hope you find what follows enlightening. I would also like to wish you and your families a happy, healthy and prosperous 2019.

Bulk Builders Merchants ~ Plymouth, Devon.
Client : Bulk Builders Merchants.
Something a little bit different, a local builder's merchant in Plymouth wanted their logo created in 'Bas Relief' style. We used lightweight Thermalite blocks and it was built upon a cast concrete plinth.
Once completed it was then painted in their company colours.


This campaign launched the new Heinz product line, Beanz Creationz. With this product designed for people to be more experimental than just plain old baked beans on toast, the campaign was based on an insight that people were increasingly fascinated with discovering new and exciting tastes through pop up food outlets, food trucks and the like. I came up with the positioning line "Best beanz on the block" and brought back the "Beanz Meanz Heinz" jingle at the same time.
The next phase of the campaign saw the development of an actual Beanz Creationz Food Truck which went around Australia giving people the chance to experience the "best beanz on the block" for themselves. Some earlier stop motion recipe videos done for the brand worked well on social platforms and so that element was incorporated into the truck promo social videos as well.

The Early Days of Bernardo Wills Architects
With Gary Bernardo and Robert Wills as the sole employees, Bernardo Wills Architects was founded in June of 1991 in an eight-by-ten foot space in the Tomlinson Black Building in Downtown Spokane.
"I recall thinking the decision was made and failure really wasn't an option," says Gary Bernardo "It had to work, and we had to do whatever it took to make it work."
"We had a couple of doors set over sawhorses with a couple of Maylines," reflects Roberts Wills about the firm's first few months. "Clients Gary and I had worked with for years at our previous firm came knocking on our door, and we were happy to have them."
Bob, Gary, and Bob Sr. Building the first conference room table.
The firm began its first expansion a few months after opening the doors. Expansion continued nearly every year thereafter until it became the sole tenant on the fourth floor of the Tomlinson Black Building in 1998.
Bernardo Wills Architects Early Focus on Public and Private Sectors
When the partners formed the firm, their business plan included an equal concentration on public and private sector clients. This is one of the key reasons behind the firm's prosperity and resilience, especially during the recent soft economies it has endured. Development of these relationships positions the firm for explosive growth when, as is the case currently, both markets are strong.
The founding partners generally divide the sectors between them. Gary Bernardo focuses on private development that includes retail, mixed-use, medical/dental facilities, office buildings, industrial facilities, and multi-family housing. Gary's experience and understanding of retail development have earned the respect of developers who consider him as a regional expert.
Robert Wills' focus has primarily been on public and government projects with clients such as Spokane Public Schools, Community Colleges of Spokane, Big Bend Community College, Spokane Airports, GSA, Wenatchee Valley College, Department of Social and Health Services and projects at Fairchild Air Force Base with the 92nd Contracting Squadron, Washington Air National Guard and the Army Corps of Engineers.
Principal Robert Pace, AIA, splits his time between the sectors for clients such as Avista, Spokane County, Grant County PUD, and Eastern Washington University.
Dell Hatch, ASLA, Principal and lead Landscape Architect, has built his career on providing services for public-sector clients throughout the Pacific Northwest. He specializes in design for parks and recreation facilities, streetscape enhancements, and urban design. Current clients include the City of Spokane Parks Department, City of Sandpoint, City of Spokane Valley, and the University of Idaho.
Bernardo Wills Architects Client Relationships
One testament to the viability and success of the firm's project management model is long-term client relationships that have developed over the years. "The satisfying thing," says Gary Bernardo, "is the number of repeat clients we have that continue to come to us for projects. Through the years as you look back you realize we've known some of them for almost 30 years. What makes that fun is some of the relationships have transcended the professional to be also personal friends."
The Bernardo Wills Architects Team
"The staff we have today are some of the best people we've had in all the years," states Wills. "One reason the company has done so well is mostly to their credit."
"One of the highlights of the practice is getting to work with some very good people," states Bernardo. "I have especially enjoyed seeing some of the younger architects grow into their capabilities. It's been pretty cool actually."
Pace, who worked alongside Bernardo and Wills at their previous firm, joined the firm in 1994. Including the Principals, firm management includes Associate Principals Chuck Horgan, AIA; David Hipp, AIA, Michael Stanicar, AIA, and Ryan Zane, AIA.
The 42 member firm features 24 licensed professionals with registrations in Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, California, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Hawaii.
The Bernardo Wills Partnership
"My father who was in business for himself said the hardest part was having good staff and good partners," states Gary Bernardo. "That hasn't been the case. Bob is someone I trust implicitly that no matter what I asked him to do he would give 110%. Though we're not entirely similar, I think we're very complimentary."
"It really is like a marriage – opposites attract," adds Wills. "The best part about the partnership is that it has endured. I think it has a lot to do with our shared philosophy about the practice of architecture, and what's good in terms of design. That has helped make it a successful partnership."
Both graduates of USC's School of Architecture, Bernardo and Wills met while at another Spokane firm. While there, the two developed a model of project management to better serve clients. This model provides Principal project involvement to ensure the quality of design and service.

In Flash, components—drag-and-drop modules of assets and code—are frequently used to promote code reuse and conserve file size, but they're not always cross-version compatible. Find out how to build components that work across several versions of Flash.
ow often have you found yourself repeating the same tasks in Flash over and over? Perhaps you've recreated a logo or animation, or rewritten some simple script again and again. Wouldn't it be great if you could drag and drop a widget into your file and just have it work? With Flash components you can often do just that.
Components are self-contained units, usually comprised of graphics and code, that you can simply drop into your file to serve a specific purpose. Components can include preloaded animations, buttons, or even code-only tasks such as a timer.
You may have tried using existing Flash components or even added third-party components to your applications, but wouldn't it be ideal if you could create your own component that did exactly what you wanted it to do? This article will help you accomplish that goal.
For the uninitiated, MovieClips are one of the three symbol types that promote efficient reusability of Flash assets. A graphical element that begins life as a circle drawn on the stage, for example, is called a shape and might be considered a 'one-time use' asset. That is, each time that circle is used, it is essentially recreated, and contributes to file size. Converting that shape into a symbol, in this case a MovieClip, places a copy of that graphical element into the library of a Flash file. Thereafter, repeated uses of that element within the same file are, essentially, references rather than new copies. This promotes reusability, improves performance and reduces file download times.
Components are basically self-contained, reusable combinations of MovieClips extended with the power of ActionScript. This article does not require fluency in either MovieClips or ActionScript but you may find a smoother road into the world of components if you have at least a fundamental understanding of both.
ActionScript, as the native scripting language of Flash, allows us to exert programmatic control over MovieClips, and gives developers the tools with which to create richer interactive experiences. Add the ability to reuse ActionScript, as well as graphical assets—all with drag-and-drop simplicity—and you have a Flash component.
Author's Note: The material from which this article was derived will be presented in a session called "Authoring Components" at the FlashForward 2005 conference in San Francisco, April 6-8.


We've reached a point where internal communication is far more important than we think. Why is that? Proper communication leads to a company's success, increases employee engagement and customer satisfaction, reduces turnover, and the company image is positive.
While communicating effectively has always been a problem, the use of mobile phones has helped to lessen the burden. However, you have to know how to effectively use this to your advantage, otherwise your employees are still faced with too many emails and phone calls, little to no feedback, and your deskless employees are often left out of the loop. Kill off communication problems now before they spin out of control, use an employee app to your advantage to strengthen your relationship with your employees.
We explore 10 internal communication problems and explain how an employee app can help you overcome them.
1. How About Some Feedback?
Let's be clear, when you have a lack of feedback, you'll only get low motivation and poor work attitude from your employees. Whereas positive feedback, any feedback really, will equal employee engagement and positive, happy employees.
It's no secret that feedback shows you how your employees are getting on with their job and their coworkers and managers. Feedback also highlights an employee's weaknesses and strengths, but it's not enough to just gather feedback. You have to act on it, otherwise the data you've gathered is useless.
Use a simple platform to gather feedback from your employees, don't just rush to download the top result on Google. Really look into your options because the app should be easy enough for everyone to use, even the less tech-savvy of employees. Connecteam's employee communication app is easy to use and requires no training, simply download and go. Choose from an existing template or create your own survey and poll so that you can quickly receive feedback from your in-house and deskless employees. All entries are automatically aggregated into a visual insight, with advanced filtering, so you can easily review all data and act on it.
On top of all that, most important information sent in an email is lost, deleted, forgotten, or ignored. And that's because employees are frustrated with the amount of emails they receive, and hey, it makes perfect sense. No one wants to spend every morning sifting through an ocean full of emails! Connecteam's employee app makes it super easy to keep everyone on the same page and to simplify internal communication.
3. Direct Line of Communication.
You have to relay information, updates, and anything else to your employees. Don't be the kind of manager who doesn't share anything, or worse, forgets to! And don't just wait for the higher ups to do it because there's a slim chance that'll happen.
On the flip side, employees need to be heard and when they are, they'll become more invested and engaged. Employees should be able to easily share suggestions, share their problems, and talk about their day. Connecteam's app makes it easy to do all of this.
4. Too Many Phone Calls.
Phone calls might be the simplest way for managers to reach their employees and manage their day-to-day business needs, however, too many work calls disrupt productivity. Research has proven that when you get an unplanned call, it will take you a full 23 minutes to recover and get to what you were doing in the first place. As far as internal communication problems go, too many emails and phone calls top the list of annoyances.
An employee app, like Connecteam, helps to eliminate phone call overload. Use chat in an employee app for group or private messaging and media sharing. Create digital online forms to get structured data and history. Send updates straight to a mobile phone like announcements, birthday wishes, employee of the month success, and much more.
Onboarding should be easy! We know it can be a time consuming task, but it has to be done. Have a clear manual in place with all the rules and regulations laid out. Be sure to also introduce your new hires to the company's social atmosphere so that they'll feel more at ease. The "big things" and the "little things" matter when onboarding! Don't just plop a big manual in front of them, take them out to lunch, make sure they're greeted in a fun and nice manner by other employees, and so on.
An employee app, like Connecteam, features an online manual, including ones especially made for new employees that automatically opens as soon as they are granted access during their pre-boarding and onboarding phases. Create quizzes and track their performance, use adaptable libraries to create a knowledge hub that can be accessed at any time, and all activity is stored in the cloud so you can safely access all data results.
Don't let a language barrier become an internal communication problem. Share information and news in many languages, offer easy translation options, and also encourage intercultural training. All of this will encourage a team environment and will help to avoid misunderstandings. While it might sound like a lot of work, it isn't when you use an employee app. An employee allows you to change the language to the setting of the mobile device and switch in between languages if necessary.
7. Internal & External News Broadcast.
Employees should be the main source of all company related news. Don't let them find out something related to the company via Twitter or a new TV campaign. Share the big and little things with them!
Don't use paper on bulletin boards to share information! Instead share news easily on an employee app so that your employees are engaged and feel connected to the company.
Only communicate relevant information to relevant parties, not everyone needs to know everything. Using an employee app, like Connecteam, will help you to create specific user groups based on criteria like location; project; team, etc. and you can send content accordingly as a result.
No employee is the same! They all come from different backgrounds and have different experiences. All should be able to to safely express their experience(s), and should even be encouraged to. As a result, respect for their fellow employees will rise, the work environment is boosted, and communication is far more beneficial.
Always remember that treating employees with respect increases productivity.
When you want to develop your own internal communications, it can be highly expensive, resources can be lacking, and it just doesn't seem worth it.
An employee app, like Connecteam, is incredibly affordable and is available at a fixed monthly price ($29-$72/month for up to 200 users), saving you tons of money while boosting internal communication.


A while ago Twitter allowed tweets that were longer than the original 140 characters. Some bits of a tweet no longer counted towards the character count and they doubled it to 280 characters. To prevent breaking legacy applications they require an additional parameter when interacting with the API. You can find more details here.
It took me a while to update my own site to use the new API response, with the full_text, but I finally did that. The main thing was modifying the database to cope with the longer response. I then noticed I wasn't performing a Unicode regular expression, which broke a recent hashtag, which I've now fixed.
Also known as the "40GB should be enough space for the system volume" problem. For the last several months I've been keeping an eye on the disk space on one of my servers. I've used many tricks to temporarily save space, from moving most of the pagefile to more severe changes such as moving the SoftwareDistribution (with a junction point). More recently I decided to use compcln.exe to make the service pack permanent to help free up a bit more space. But with updates from Microsoft getting bigger (and the winsxs folder getting bloated) over the years, I had to do something more permanent to avoid the need for this regular maintenance.
It would have been simple within Disk Management if the other volume wasn't inside an extended partition. It would have been simpler if I had another disk (or volume in a better place) that I could temporarily migrate the data onto. In the end I zipped many gigs of data into much smaller files (text compresses really well) and moved them to another host over Remote Desktop. That allowed me to delete the volume and then the extended partition so I could finally expand the system drive to a much more reasonable size for the next two years (unless Microsoft release over 160GB of patches in the next two years, which seems very unlikely even for them). I've even put the SoftwareDistribution folder back to normal.
But I'm still going to procrastinate over my fileserver. There's less than 1TB of free space on the array and I'll have to think about buying even bigger disks soon. But it won't happen for a while. The next task will be much more interesting and rewarding as I plan on finally upgrading my graphics card. It should be cooler, quieter, use less power, and run significantly faster.
