Hawaii State Public Library
Partner: Hawaii State Public Library System
Launched: October 6, 2016
The Hawaii State Public Library System serves as a pillar of our community helping to nurture a lifelong love of reading and learning through its physical and digital spaces. Averaging 80,000 visitors a month, the site is a robust and content rich adventure, that has something for people of all ages, needs, abilities, and interests. The site is more than just books — you can access quilt patterns, yearbooks, eBooks, talking books for the visually impaired, take free online classes, learn a new language or visit one of the 10,000 events they put on each year.

Designed for people
User Centered Design is the process of designing a website from the perspective of a user. Through collaborative workshops, we uncovered design strategies that would appeal to both the fiercely loyal and new users alike. We used patrons' personal stories about how the library has impacted their lives, to surface and promote the library's diverse services, gave it a more friendly, conversational tone, and re-organized everything to reflect how patrons ask questions, making it easier for users to search and find the items they seek.
Many behaviors, one deep need
While creating user personas, we learned that while everyone uses the library for a thousand specific reasons, their positive and negative experiences of the library pivot on a perception of belonging. This insight led to our strategy of narrating the site through a series of stories about belonging and using narrative to expose the library's hidden resources (books are all about telling stories, and so are websites).
Visual look and brand
The library card is an iconic symbol in Hawaii and enjoys massive brand recognition. Given this, it made sense to use the same elements to create our visual system. We also found an overwhelming sense of fierce brand loyalty among the frequent users so our strategy became to focus on them (and let the others come along).
The library card is an iconic symbol and a big part of the library's brand.
The library has been thrilled with the reactions both among the staff, who found the new site instantly easier to use and can now more easily direct patrons to resources, and patrons, who are discovering resources they did not previously know were available. One of the biggest successes has been the event listings that now surface thousands of cultural, community, computer, reading, and instructional events at all the branches on all the islands. And everyone who uses the site seems to find at least one thing they did not previously know the library offered… which was exactly our goal!
The redesign has delivered a new standard for library sites nationwide and has been the recipient of five awards, including Best Government Website.

This External PCP Regulator build by Huma is specialy designed for airgun shooting is can be screwed on to a 200/300 bar scuba tank with DIN connection.
The regulator will reduce the outgoing pressure according to your settings so you can optimize the working pressure matching your airrifle. This will result in a constant pelletspeed and better groups. The regulator is equipped with a pressure gauge what will indicate the set pressure. The ressure can be set by turning the set-screw to adjust the pressure. Just unscrew the regulator from the tank, adjust it it to your wishes, and screw it back on.
Within these settings the regulator can be set stepless in pressure. The standard setting is "2" in the pressure range 100-200 bar.

The millennial wave (of parents) is impacting the baby diaper market in the U.S., and it is unlike any previous wave. Millennials approach parenting, and the shopping that comes with it, with a different set of priorities and way of evaluating products. A new crop of startup companies founded by millennials has emerged to lead the way in showing how to position baby diapers in ways that appeal most to millennial parents. More recently, there are plenty of examples of the leading brands employing these same strategies.
Since 2016, more than one million millennials in the U.S. are becoming first-time moms each year. Nearly 90% of births in 2017 were to millennial moms so, to baby diaper brands, millennial parents are a critical consumer segment focal point.
Millennials are generally understood to be Americans between the ages of 25 and 37. As parents, they are older and more educated than their predecessors. According to data tracked by the CDC, the average age of first-time mothers in the U.S. was 28 in 2018, compared to 25 in 1970. Millennials are more educated than previous generations, and the most educated women have seen the most dramatic increases in motherhood.
Millennial parents are also choosing to have fewer babies. America's fertility rate reached an all-time low of 1.8 in 2018, which is below the "replacement level" estimated for developed countries of 2.1. A recent survey conducted by the Morning Consult for The New York Times found that a majority of adults in America between ages 20 to 45 said they "planned to have fewer children than their parents."
While millennials plan to have fewer children, they devote more time to parenting than previous generations. Pew Research Center found that moms spent about 25 hours a week on paid work in 2016, compared with nine hours in 1965. Despite the increased demand of time spent working, mothers also managed to spend 14 hours a week directly caring for their children, which was more than the 10 hours moms devoted on average to child care in 1965. Millennial dads chip in a lot more too these days, spending an average of 8 hours a week of their time on child care in 2014, compared to just 2.5 hours in 1965.
Millennial parents derive a strong sense of identity from being good parents. A 2010 Pew Research Center survey found that 52% said being a good parent was one of the most important goals in their lives, compared to 30% who said the same about having a successful marriage.
One parenting research expert, Rebecca Parlakian of the parent and early childhood advocacy organization Zero-to-Three, describes millennial parents as "high-information parents." Ipsos research found that 86% of millennial dads turn to YouTube for "guidance on key parenting topics," and three in four of all millennial parents say they are open to videos by brands or companies on YouTube when "seeking guidance on parenting topics."
Millennials also shop differently. A survey conducted by the National Retail Federation found that millennial parents are much more likely than other parents to 1) use their smartphones to research products (78% millennial parents; 58% other parents), 2) use a same-day shipping option (86% millennial parents; 67% other parents), and 3) use a subscription service as part of their online shopping (40% millennial parents; 18% other parents).
Millennial parents not only want to know more about the products they purchase, they also want to know more about the companies and brands they are supporting with each purchase. When Forbes conducted a broad survey of millennials in March 2018, they found that "60% of millennials tend to gravitate toward purchases that are an expression of their personality – the brand must speak to them and make them feel good." Euclid surveyed 1,500 U.S. consumers and found that, among millennials, 52% were more inclined to purchase from brands that mirrored their values and politics, compared to just 35% of baby boomers.
What do all these insights into the characteristics and motivations of millennial parents mean for the baby diapers industry? While the demographic and behavioral trends suggest the need for new approaches by baby diaper brands to deliver value and earn longer-term customer loyalty; technological developments in e-commerce, logistics, manufacturing and supply chain management have made conditions more inviting to a new host of startup companies to enter the baby diaper market.
E-commerce Baby Diaper Startups: Lower Barriers to Entry, High Barriers to Trust
The combination of affordable costs to design a website and e-commerce platform, access to contract manufacturing and a competitive ocean of low-cost third-party fulfillment and logistics providers are making longstanding barriers to entry in the baby diaper industry less relevant. These new entrants into the baby diaper market have employed innovative marketing strategies, product designs and value propositions to build a foothold in the industry, to the point that major leaders and their brands are now replicating these same strategies to maximize their appeal to millennial parents.
One lesson these startup companies reveal is millennial parents' trust must be hard-won before they become brand-loyal. Millennial parents do not assume products designed for their babies are safe. They also are skeptical about products that do not disclose their ingredients. Millennial parents able to afford premium diapers demand and prioritize safety and transparency over concerns such as environmental impact and sustainability.
The Honest Company provides an illustrative example of an internet startup founded by a millennial parent for millennial parents who share these concerns. Furthermore, it is an example of a company that continues to find ways to grow its share and evolve its product offering. The Honest Co. was founded by celebrity actress Jessica Alba in 2012 as her response to an allergic reaction to detergent suffered by her first child. The company began selling goods via a subscription model on its own website and has since grown to add broad distribution through retail brick-and-mortar channels and Amazon.
In founding the company, Alba expressed her concern about what she perceived as toxic petrochemicals not from an environmental friendliness perspective, but from a parent wanting safety above all from any product touching her baby's skin. Her mission: "I wanted safe and effective consumer products that were beautifully designed, accessibly priced, and easy to get."
Implementation of this mission hit a snag when, in 2016, reports surfaced and lawsuits followed due to false claims The Honest Co. had made when sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) was found in its detergent and in its "organic" infant formula was found to contain synthetic substances prohibited by federal law for organic products. Topping it off, in late 2016, reports surfaced regarding a tidal wave of consumer complaints that had been filed with the Federal Trade Commission about consumers' difficulty processing cancellation requests to its diaper subscription service. The Honest Co. responded promptly to all of these problems by redesigning its products and adding an easier online cancellation process for its diaper subscription service.
For its baby diapers, The Honest Co. was one of the first brands not only to specify the ingredients of its diapers, but also to disclose where they were sourced. As they increased their transparency, they also found they needed to better meet customer expectations for diaper performance. Millennial parents are like all other parent consumers of baby diapers in one respect: no-leak performance/reliability is a must. In 2018, The Honest Co. introduced an upgraded diaper design, featuring a TrueAbsorb core. Delivering a more absorbent diaper meant finding a new source, while maintaining a commitment to transparency and sustainability. They switched from sourcing corn starch-mixed superabsorbent from "Texas and Quebec, Canada," to a superabsorbent that incorporates "renewable materials" from "the U.S. and Belgium." The Honest Co. diapers are made in Mexico.
A much more recent entrant to the baby diaper market, Made Of, promises an even greater degree of transparency regarding all the materials and processes involved in manufacturing its diapers. The brand's website delivers what is called Ultimate Transparency Promise: "We've made our products, factories and our formulas to be totally open to you. Click on any product page and get every element and the whole story."
The baby diaper page, however, falls a bit short of this promise. After scrolling down several pages, when you click on "superabsorbent polymer," your see merely "Partially neutralized sodium polyacrylate. Made in USA." Then when you click "View Ingredient Details," the internet shopper is greeted with "At this point there is no document downloaded for this element." The same is true for the "transfer layer," "poly lines" and "nonwoven back side panels," which are also "Made in USA;" and the "topsheet," "backsheet," "nonwoven side panels" and "adhesives, tabs." The diapers are "Made in Mexico." Made Of's "Better Diaper" does bear an impressive slate of material certifications and partnerships, including PEFC certified forest products, Rainforest Alliance, Social Accountability 8000, and ISO 9001's certification for quality management systems; with images of certificates for each one.
While safety and transparency are the must-haves after basic reliability and performance expectations, what about the overall experience for the parent who not only buys the diapers, but regularly gets the honor of changing the diapers? Parasol is another by-millennials-for-millennials startup brand that strives to design diapers that deliver a higher level of satisfaction not only for the baby, but also for the parent. This super-premium quality diaper is made in China. The diaper features an ultra soft, 3D apertured topsheet, a thin pulp-less core made with a soft layered nonwoven/superabsorbent sandwich and a soft apertured nonwoven outer cover over a quiet, soft barrier film with a high fashion design pattern. Millennial parents, perhaps more than previous generations, really value additional levels of personalization and customizability featured in otherwise commodity products. Deloitte Consumer Review conducted research in 2015 that supports this strategy. They found that about one in five consumers was willing to pay an up to 20% premium for products with a greater degree of personalization.
As noted above, millennials also want to feel connected and aligned with the values held by the brand of diapers they buy for their babies. That's been the main focus of startups like ABBY&FINN, whose stated mission is as follows: "We truly seek to improve the lives of the children & families we touch by partnering with organizations that use diapers as incentives for participating in parenting & child wellness programs. It's so important, it's literally in our name." The "ABBY" part of the name is an anagram for BABY, and the "FINN" is an acronym for "Families in need." They offer a diaper subscription service where "with each monthly box subscription, we donate a diaper a day to families in need. That means every time you receive a box, we are donating 30 diapers right here in the U.S." Attuned supply chain partners will also seek to capture value from their part in products and brands that promote positive social causes. Symbia Logistics proudly announced, "ABBY&FINN chose Symbia thanks to our reliability, customization, fair pricing and a reputation for getting the job done right – which, as it turns out, are the very same reasons they're growing." Raw materials and components suppliers should seek opportunities to do the same.
When it comes to the diapers, ABBY&FINN are positioned much the same way as The Honest Co., Parasol, and Made Of, with a detailed list of ingredients included, as well as a list of the "harmful substances" not included in their diapers. Staying true to the values held by most millennial parents, founders Amanda and Lance Little "developed a business model that brings design-oriented, eco-friendly, premium diapers to your door, and donates 30 diapers to families-in-need." Although this company does not disclose where the diapers are made, their appearance is very similar to the Made Of diapers that are made in Mexico.
It is difficult to conclude with certainty whether diaper brands like Parasol, Made Of and ABBY&FINN will successfully grow their business enough to expand distribution to brick-and-mortar retail channels the way The Honest Co. has managed to do with its diapers.
Reliable market share data for e-commerce sales is not yet available the way it is for brick-and-mortar retail sales. The strongest evidence for why the concerns and appetites of millennial parents outlined above represent a significant consumer segment, and why the strategies innovatively employed by these startups are effective forms of appeal, is that the major brand leaders imitate these same strategies.

Here are the 5 ways offering your employees better nutrition makes your workforce more productive while improving your company culture.
I recently decided to make a change in the café area of my company, PostcardMania. I believe very strongly in buying organic produce and maintaining a nutritionally complete diet. Yet my company's café contained a bunch of nutritionally lacking food items containing Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) produce. I started to wonder why I was allowing my staff to buy these food items that I find to be incredibly dangerous to a person's health.
In fact, I personally wouldn't go near almost everything on the menu, so why was I encouraging my staff to eat it?
So, I decided to start my own organic garden to supply the café with fresh organic produce. We could then build a more nutritionally sound menu I could be proud of. As it turns out, it saved us money too! However, there are more benefits than just the monetary value of saving money and the philosophical benefit of practicing what you preach.
Not everyone will decide to create an organic garden for their company to use, but taking the simple steps of offering healthy alternatives to ordinary snacks in your company's break room will help you transform your workforce. Focusing on better nutrition will increase productivity, which will continue to pay off in your business.
Here are the 5 ways offering your employees better nutrition makes your workforce more productive.
When someone maintains a diet that is lacking in any of the essential vitamins and nutrients, it adversely affects them. Add to that an overload of sugar and carbohydrates (that may give a short-lived buzz of energy) and it's like you're running on 70 percent power. You feel tired, and this leads you to work slower. When you are eating a balanced diet including plenty of fruits and vegetables, your body operates on 100% capacity and you can produce up to your utmost potential.
Sickness preys upon those with weak immune systems, and immune response is weakened through poor nutrition. The healthier your employees' diets are, the less likely they are to be hit by common or chronic illnesses, and the less likely they are to develop more serious diseases, like diabetes. Imagine how much more your staff would get done solely by not missing work for being sick, not to mention the improved performance while they're there.
When you eat right, when your diet is balanced, and you are getting all the necessary nutrients your body needs to operate at its peak, and you feel better. You feel strong and healthy. You have more energy. These effects put a person in a better mood.
Have you ever heard of an effective — yet old — tactic to use when you need a favor from someone? "Wait until they're in a good mood." When you are in a good state of mind, work doesn't seem like a burden. Pitching in doesn't seem like an inconvenience. The same will go for the workplace. When your staff is all healthy and high-spirited, they will achieve their fullest potential.

I'm Ryan Eugene MacDonald, aka REM. I choose to go by my full birth name because though I've never met the other Ryan MacDonalds in this world, I know they're out there. I googled them.
I began this site in 2008 to exercise my voice as a writer and to give myself a platform for my stories. Over time, it grew into a community of like minded individuals, coming together to share and connect. Some of those people still visit the blog to this today, leaving comments when they feel inspired. I think in our separate communities and individual bubbles, we all go through the same lessons. Sharing those stories helps connect us to one another, so I hope you connect with some of mine.
Mostly I use this blog for my personal writing and rants. To express a feeling, an emotion, an experience. With everything that's going on in our world at this moment, I feel even more compelled to write it all down and share it with the world.
You can read some of my published clips and the type of reporting I do here. Additionally, I'm a content/ digital/social media/story producer for documentary series, television shows and web series that have aired on Netflix, NBC, ABC, MTV, E!, Vh1, CNBC, Logo, Bravo, and Discovery Channel.


In our first month, we've had 4000+ users join us and experience the TRUE freedom brought on by our unique model and desire to help the 'average' guy above all else.
For most other companies, this would be a crowning achievement that they would talk about endlessly. But for us, it's not that 4000 users joined us, it's the fact that roughly 83% of them were profitable within their first month already!
83% of our members were profitable in their first 30 days (vast majority of them within the first week!).
And that's without recruiting endlessly or turning into 'badass marketers'.
(Side note: Maybe it's just that I think about words differently, but does anyone else find 'badass' to be a rather strange choice of word to express 'good'??

Tom Stonor, 16 April 1940 – 4 January 2023.
By Chris Dodd
Chris Dodd on Tom Stonor, 7th Baron Camoys, Henley Steward, Museum trustee, Windsor adviser and Barclays banker.
If you were to create Lord Camoys for a saga – let us call it Stonor Revisited – you would reach for Nancy Mitford, E M Forster, Agatha Christie and P G Wodehouse.
Ralph Thomas Campion George Sherman 'Tom' Stonor was up to his neck in upper class privilege and eccentricity from the day he was born to Major Sherman Stonor, the 6th Lord Camoys, and Mary Jeanne (née Stourton, whose father rejoiced in the name Marmaduke). He learned early in his life that an ancestor commanded the left flank at Agincourt in 1415. Tom was sent to Eton and Balliol College, Oxford, and he graduated with a third in history. 'He did jolly reasonably well', said the Major.

During his progression from Eton to Oxford young Tom found that the world was his oyster when he went to Nepal at the behest of the Foreign Office to prepare Prince Birendra for entry to Eton. Birendra remained a close friend after becoming King in 1972, a reign that ended in 2001 when his son Dipendra assassinated him.
Tom Stonor, who has died aged 82, lived a life that incorporated many of the issues to be found in the stories of the novelists mentioned above. He carved a remarkable ascent to the pinnacles of merchant banking; did battle with his father and others in his feuding, Catholic family; was Lord Chamberlain and financial adviser to the House of Windsor; saved his family's property by selling off some silver; and most importantly of all, was a Steward of Henley Royal Regatta and a Trustee and President of the River & Rowing Museum.

His portfolio of activities centred on Stonor Park in the hinterland of Henley, where his neighbours included John Mortimer, the thriller writer; Sir William McAlpine who had a full-size steam train set in his garden; Jeremy Paxman, the university challenger; the Duke and Duchess of Kent and the artists John and Myfanwy Piper.
Tom Stoner's pedigree on his father's side was the Talbot Earls of Shrewsbury, the Nevills of Abergavenny and via an illegitimate line, the De La Pole Dukes of Suffolk. He was also a direct descendant of Robert Peel, the British Prime Minister, and a descendant of the family that founded Brown University in Rhode Island. On his mother's side, he was descended from Charles II through Charlotte Lee, Countess of Lichfield, and the illegitimate daughter of the monarch.
Stonor Park, near Henley, home to the Stonor Family for 850 years.
The title that Tom inherited in 1976 relates to Saint Edmund Campion, a Catholic martyr in the reign of Elizabeth I. He took refuge in a priest hole at Stonor Park and published his book Decem Rationes (Ten Reasons for Being a Catholic) in 1581 before he was discovered and executed for his faith at Tyburn. He was beatified in 1886 and canonised as a martyr in 1970.
Scanning his pathway through the City reveals why Tom was in demand by institutions seeking investment or financial advice. The list includes National Provincial and Rothschild, Rothschild Intercontinental Bank and Amex Bank. After the 'Big Bang' reforms in the City in 1986, he transformed Barclays from a high street to a merchant bank. Barclays Merchant Bank became Barclays de Zoete and then Barclays Capital, of which Tom was the first chief exec. He was also a director of Barclays Bank International and Barclays Bank plc.

Directorships held included Jacksons of Piccadilly, Sotheby's, Mercantile Credit, National Provident Institution, the Administrative Staff College, 3i Group and Perpetual. He was President of the Mail Users Association, Prime Warden of the Fishmongers' Company as well as a Steward of Henley Royal Regatta and a Trustee of the River and Rowing Museum.
Tom's bruising life among City institutions was noticed at Buckingham Palace and Whitehall, and in 1998 he became Lord Chamberlain. His task was to make the royal household more open and transparent and to continue the reforms started by his predecessor, Lord Airlie. He was, incidentally, the first Roman Catholic to head the Queen's household since the Reformation. He soon made his presence felt by stepping on the gas in response to twin pressures exerted by Tony Blair's new Labour government and the media – pressures generated by what was perceived to be the royal family's inadequate response to the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997.
In the House of Lords Tom sat on the select committee on the European Economic Community (forerunner of the European Union) and was a member of the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission (now English Heritage) and the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts.
Tom also held office in religious affairs, being a consultor of the extraordinary session of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Holy See from 1991 to 2009, and he was appointed chairman of the Tablet Trust in 2009.

My first contact with Tom was at a Stonor Park open day where he had donned a white coat to supervise car parking. I came to know him in his rowing sphere during regattas or functions at the River & Rowing Museum. He was one of those rare beings with whom rapport was immediately present, even though our time in one another's company was minimal. You would know at a glance what he thought about a proposal, and take your lead from it. Paul Mainds, the chief exec of the museum from 1999 to 2013, says that President Tom was determinedly much more than a name on the letterhead. 'He was generous with his time, gave wise counsel and was always willing to deploy his extraordinary range of contacts.'
Given these attributes, it was a wonder that Tom got himself into family fights. He fell out with his mother and did not speak with her faction of the family for several years, even though her dowager's cottage was merely 600 yards from the main house. He refused to help out when she ran up debts of £100,000, but mother and son were reconciled before she died.
Tom's parents pictured at their wedding in 1938. They were an odd pair, particularly if their daughter Julia's 2006 version on their life together (Sherman's Wife) is anywhere near accurate. The Spectator magazine titled their 2006 critique of Julia's book "Rampant fascism near Henley" and their article is online here.
In the 1976 battle to save Stonor, his relationship with his father Sherman was marred by the latter's drinking, and the 7th Baron Camoys did not get a mention in the will of the 6th Baron Camoys of Stonor Park and Newport, Rhode Island. Tom's elder sister Julia, a formidable historian and author of books on the misdemeanours of her family, joined the title fray by claiming that Camoys was rightfully hers by barony of writ.
Sherman struggled to pay for the upkeep of the 235-acre estate that was part medieval, part Tudor with eighteenth century modifications. It was said to have been in the possession of the same family for longer than any other house in England. Tom was determined to keep it in that family.
Sherman's solution shortly before his death in 1976 was to put the 35-room property on the market for £400,000, declining his son's offer of £150,000. Feuding resulted in sale of some contents including £12,800 worth of stuffed birds, butterflies and other wonders of natural history. Meanwhile, the house itself did not find a buyer, so the new Baron Camoys bought it from the executors, along with most of the family portraits and a library with an important collection of Catholic books. As a lover of fine art and antiques, Tom enjoyed refurnishing his prize. The house was opened to the public for the first time in 1979.
Tom's mother pictured in 1975, just before she and her husband were forced to move from the 35-bedroom Stonor Park to the five-bedroom Dower Cottage in Stonor village (pictured below).
Tom was a rotund chain smoker with a humorous twinkle in his eye. He was also vertically challenged. Seeing himself one day described in print as 'flinty', he declared that 'pudding like' would be more accurate. His duties at Henley Regatta were none too onerous. Elected to the august oligarchy known as stewards in 1978, he was a judge at the start of the course from 1979 to 1995, billeted with another aligner in their waterside tent furnished with its own bijou cocktail bar. From 1996 to 2013 he was a judge on the finish line. Meanwhile, he also served on the regatta's investment advisory group. Tom's ancestors Thomas and Charles Stoner were elected stewards in 1839, the year of the first regatta, and Tom was the eighth member of his family to wear the silver badge.
Tom's contribution to the establishment of the River & Rowing Museum (RRM) was priceless. Paul Mainds, just appointed as chief executive in 1999, first met him at a reception for the Museum of the Year award that occurred a few months after the Queen opened the iconic building designed by the architect David, now Sir David, Chipperfield. Tom immediately offered help to build the RRM's reputation. Until he left in 2013, Paul appreciated that Tom was always available at the house nestling among the gentle Chiltern slopes. One Christmas time, the chapel was made available for a carol service for the RRM's Henley 100 supporters club.
Paul says of Tom: 'The museum ran an extensive programme of special exhibitions, and it was important to engage the right person to speak at an opening. Lord Camoys was the perfect speaker to do the honours for our major John Piper exhibition. He treated us to recollections of his neighbours, the Piper family, as well as insightful reflections on Piper's art and the artist's collaborators.
'Tom also introduced high profile visitors to the museum, among whom was the Crown Prince of Japan (now the Emperor), who broke his journey to Highgrove to call on the Crown Prince of the UK and Commonwealth (now the King).'
Japan's Crown Prince Naruhito is guided around the River and Rowing Museum by the then Chief Executive, Paul Mainds, in 2001. The article writer is second from the right. Picture Courtesy of the RRM.
Paul also recalled that Tom assisted Paul's daughter when she decided to practise medicine in a remote part of Nepal. He prepared her as he had once prepared Prince Birendra for Eton, producing contacts and inside knowledge of the area.
'Just before I left the museum it was included in the Times newspaper's list of one of the best 50 museums in the world,' Paul says. 'That was recognition that we all enjoyed, and Tom's part in it was by no means small. He regularly laid down challenges at meetings of trustees, adopting an authoritative manner tempered by encouragement. These things are the measure of the man!'
We could go on and on with stories and secrets from banking, royal houses, feuding families, priest holes, crews with nerves on the start and crews crossing the finish line, the roots of rowing, the heritage of Henley and tales of the mighty River Thames – as writers such as Wodehouse, Mitford, Christie and Forster did. But it's time to say 'RIP' to Tom Camoys, who lived a life proving that fact is stranger than fiction. Who would have imagined coming across a bride, as Tom did, who bore the maiden name 'Hyde Parker?'
Beth Hyde Parker married Tom in 1966. She is pictured here in 1958 as one of Country Life's "Girls in Pearls".
Ralph Thomas Campion George Sherman 'Tom' Stonor, 7th Baron Camoys, banker and former Lord Chamberlain, born 16 April, 1940; died 4 January 2023. Survived by his wife Elisabeth (née Hyde Parker) and their daughters Alina, Emily, Sophie, and son Ralph William Robert-Thompson Stoner.

This book starts with an 8-chapter course that teaches you how to use HTML5 and CSS3 to build websites. This course works for beginners as well as experienced web designers, and the last chapter teaches you how to use Responsive Web Design so your pages will look good and work right on any screen, from phone to tablet to desktop.
When you complete this course, you will be able to develop web pages at a professional level. Then, you can go on to any other section or chapter in this book to learn new skills whenever you need them.
Once you have a good grasp of how to develop web pages, you can understand today's best practices for designing a site, as shown in chapter 18. Then, chapter 19 shows you not only how test and deploy your website, but also how to get the site indexed on the major search engines and directories.
As we see it, mastering HTML5 and CSS3 will make any web developer at any level more effective.
Most important is a new chapter on Responsive Web Design that presents all of the skills that you need for building responsive websites that will work on all screens, from phones to tablets to computers. This is the last chapter in section 1, and you're likely to learn more from this one chapter than you can from complete books on the Responsive Web Design.
Beyond that, though, every chapter in the book has been improved, enhanced, and upgraded. That's why this book works better than ever in every way.
Although you can use any text editor with this book, a text editor that includes syntax coloring, auto-completion, and error-marking will help you code more quickly and with fewer errors. In the book, we recommend Aptana Studio 3; however, it's no longer supported and has become hard to install.
If you combine our HTML5 and CSS3 book with its companion books, you'll have the answers to all of your client-side development questions.
"In 20-plus years of reading and writing software manuals, I've never seen anyone take as much care to teach one thing at a time as Boehm and Ruvalcaba do in Murach's HTML5 and CSS3 (3rd Edition). Their consistent pattern is a two-page spread: textbook prose on the left; code and annotation on the right. If a topic's too big to fit in two pages, they make it two topics.
To give you an idea of how well this book works, you can download this chapter. It shows you how to use the CSS box model to control the spacing above, below, and on the sides of elements like headings, text, and images.
This chapter also shows you how to use CSS to add borders or backgrounds to elements. That includes the CSS3 features that let you round the corners of borders, add shadows to borders, and provide gradients as backgrounds…without using the images that were required before CSS3.
Murach's HTML5 and CSS3 (3rd Edition) shows how to use Aptana as the text editor for developing HTML and CSS code. Unfortunately, Aptana is no longer supported and has become difficult to install.
So our recommendation is to use Brackets instead. Developed by Adobe, Brackets is easy to install and use, has some excellent features, and runs on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux systems. So this tutorial shows you how to install and use it.
Great book that fills in the gaps where other books leave holes. Section 1 (Chapters 1 through 8) set up a great HTML 5 foundation for web design. I gave four stars instead of five because the new edition still devotes almost a whole chapter on Aptana Studio, the recommended IDE for the book, though Aptana Studio is no www.brackets.io or Jetbrains Webstorm.


Flat-out fabulous. These horizontally oriented bar necklaces each boast a variety of multi-colored crystals. From LOGO Links by Lori Goldstein.
LOGO Links by Lori Goldstein Set of Two Delicate Bar Necklaces is rated 3.7 out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by liefje from Very Cool This pair of necklaces is great! Perfect for any age. They're delicate yet have a nice presence. Love the colors - somehow neutral. Easy to wear - doesn't really matter if they're a little higher or lower because every position looks beautiful. Very glad I bought them.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Gypsydog from Looked very cheap.... I have several of LOGO's necklaces and love them. The white and bronze one that looks like a big medallion, I love that! And a couple more I wear all the time. This, at least in the goldtone, just looks cheap. I think it's the stones. It's one of those pieces that looks like you're 'trying to hard'. Besides the aesthetics, it is a struggle to put these TWO necklaces on and get them the 'right' distance from each other each time. If I were going to keep them, which I am not, but if I were, I would find the perfect hole in each and paint it with a little gold sparkly nail polish and put the necklaces on 'backwards' each time, using my visual que as a guide. Just a big miss for me on this one.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Goodys girl from Very feminine This is a hit Lori! This necklace is not the dramatic pieces we've seen, but more of a 'hello, I'm here.' Lightweight and the stones still light up your face. I would recommend as a gift for my mother or daughter. Simply lovely!


production industries. It is therefore important that technicians and engineers should have knowledge on pneumatic systems air operated valves accessories. Pneumatic system consists of a compressor plant, pipe lines control valves and drive members. The air is compressed in an air compressor and from the compressor plant the flow media is transmitted to the pneumatic cylinder through a well laid pipe line system. So keeping in mind about the importance of pneumatic system are introducing a project called Automatic pneumatic water pumping system. Here all need is a compressor pneumatic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, piston pump. The aim of the project is pneumatic operated piston water pump. The piston is reciprocated with the help of a pneumatic cylinder solenoid valve. There are two cylinders are used in this project, one for pneumatic cylinder and another one for hydraulic cylinder. This pumping system also can be used in pumping of water supply in agriculture lands, Industrial pumping and also in domestical applications.

King's Park, Stirling
13. October 2008 · 1 comment · Categories: Crown Estate
There's a bit of a rumpus in Stirling over plans by the Crown Estate Commission to sell the King's Park to a (yet to be established) public trust for £600,000 (see the Herald story today). The King's Park is an ancient possession of the Crown in Scotland.
Why should anyone have to pay £600,000 for a part of Scotland's national heritage which we already own? Imagine if the same were to happen with Holyrood Park (but it can't because it was handed over by the Crown Estate Commission to Scottish Ministers in 1999). Indeed if you read the briefing below you'll find a long list of historic properties which were transferred just before devolution. Why was King's Park excluded?
Remember the Crown Estate Commission is merely the administrative body which is charged with managing Crown land in Scotland. The land itself is owned by the Crown and the property rights of the Crown in Scotland are a devolved matter (see Schedule 5, Part 1, paragraph 3(1) of the Scotland Act).
Documents of interest include: –
Briefing Paper on the current proposal published by King's Park Community Council
Annex 7 of the Crown Estate Review Working Group Report
The Crown Estate Review Working Group Report (full report – 2.2Mb)
Crown Estate Review Working Group submission to the Calman Commission

Thanks for the email drawing attention to the King's Park scam; I had read about it with interest.
My understanding of Scottish Constitutional Law is that so-called Crown Property is in fact beneficially owned by the People of Scotland. The CEC is merely the administrator of property held in title by the Crown on behalf of the People of Scotland. The Crown does not own King's Park, the people of Scotland do. The Crown therefore cannot sell what it doesn't own.
As the law stands, the trustees of the Stirling Common Good Fund, being all the elected Councillors in the unitary authority area, can simply refuse to approve CG funds to be used to purchase property which is already owned by both the Stirling people and the rest of the Scottish people.
I also have grave misgivings about a trust being formed as it las a lesser degree of scrutiny than CG funds do. The next step would be to form a charity which would effectively obscure scrutiny further.
It seems therefore that I entirely agree with your observations and from my own experience of dealings with the CEC they will behave with arrogant intransigence, claiming that they are only conforming to their remit of maximising value of 'crown property'. Bah, Humbug!

Personal injury lawsuits (i.e. civil lawsuits claiming that the plaintiff suffered a physical injury due to the negligent or wrongful act of the defendant) come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Most often these claims arise out of car accidents, violent acts (such as assaults), defective products, slip and falls, or incidents involving medical malpractice and are filed against individuals or businesses. However, sometimes a personal injury lawsuit will be filed against a government entity (for example, a city, state, or the federal government). When this happens there are several special filing requirements and deadlines that the plaintiff must be aware of.
Although governments entities are generally immune from being sued, the Iowa state government as well as the Federal government have both enacted Tort Claim Acts that conditionally waive immunity under certain circumstances so that individuals who claim to have been injured by a government entity can bring their claims. However, these acts contain a variety of requirements that injured plaintiffs must abide by. One of the most notable of these requirements involves providing notice to the government.
For example, under the Iowa Tort Claims Act, personal injury plaintiffs interested in filing a claim at the state level must generally provide notice of their claim to the state appeal board within two years of the date on which they were injured (or the date on which they reasonably should have discovered that they were injured). Additionally, notice of municipal claims must generally be provided within six months.
Important: Please note that the law in Iowa surrounding notice requirements is quite complicated and that under some circumstances plaintiffs only have 60 days to provide notice. Therefore, if you are interested in suing a government entity be sure to consult with a local personal injury attorney without delay in order to best avoid having your claim barred.
Each state has its own statute of limitations that determines how much time an injured plaintiff within the state has to file a personal injury claim. Under section 614.1(2) of the Iowa Code, injured plaintiffs in Iowa generally have two years from the date on which they were injured (or the date on which they reasonably should have discovered their injury) within which to file their claim. Here in Iowa this two year statute of limitations applies regardless of whether the claim is filed against a private individual/business or an Iowa state entity. Additionally, it is also important to note that under 28 U.S.C. § 2401 personal injury claims filed against the United States of America must also generally be filed within two years.
Some states limit the amount of compensation that personal injury plaintiffs who file claims against the state can recover by instituting damage caps. Here in Iowa, the only damage cap that is currently in effect for personal injury awards issued against a state entity is contained in section 669.4 of the Iowa Code and notes that punitive damages can not be awarded against the state.
Whether you are filing a personal injury claim against the government, an individual person, or a business, it is important that you consult with a local personal injury lawyer about your legal options as soon as possible in order to best protect your interests. Here at the Noyes Law Office our team of experienced Southeast Iowa personal injury lawyers represent injured clients throughout Iowa and would be happy to assist you.

This is a fairly standard idea. Simply take a rhythm and stretch the duration of each chord in the progression (or note in the riff) equally. Use the same chords (or notes) from the original rhythm in the stretched rhythm.
To make this idea as clear as possible, the original rhythm that I use will be quarter notes. In each example, the numbers above the quarter-notes correspond to the numbers above the notes in the stretched rhythm example.
For the first example, I've stretched each quarter-note equally by an eighth note.
You can stretch whichever note(s) you want. Here I've stretched beats 2 and 4.
Another idea is to stretch the notes in an ever-increasing gradient. In the next example, each succeeding note gets longer than the one before it by an eighth note.
Use this technique as a way of brainstorming variations and generating new ideas. Stretching a couple of notes in the original rhythm creates a related rhythm. Moving from the original rhythm to the stretched rhythm and back relieves monotony.

The Gauteng provincial government announced today that it is setting aside R123m as part of the plan to plug the funding gap for etolls created by the lower toll. The announcement was made by the province's MEC of finance, Barbara Creecy at the Gauteng Midterm Budget Speech at the Gauteng Legislature in Johannesburg.
The new budget line is a requirement of the new etolls dispensation, announced by deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa, in May. According to Creasy, the R123m in today's budget is 50% of the total amount required, the rest of which will come from central government.
Opponents to the etolling scheme, however, have been quick to point out that Sanral is off of its original monthly revenue targets by more than R123m a month, never mind its annual deficit. The roads agency originally budgeted for R260m to be received from etoll collections per month by this time in order to maintain its payments on the debt taken out to fund improvement works to Gauteng freeways. The most the firm has ever raised in one month is R120m in June 2014. It has since revised its revenue projections down to around R55-60m a month and according to the latest figures, that's what it's collecting. It's not yet revealed whether or not the 60% discount applied to accounts in arrears has raised any substantial revenue.
In the original estimation of the funding gap caused by lower toll fees, Ramaphosa said that the total government contibution would be R390m per annum – given that the lower fees came in to effect after the 2014/15 financial year started, the Gauteng contribution of R123m would seem to be slightly lower than that.
We've contacted Sanral for comment.

We were feelin' a retro vibe when we doodled this design. It's part arcade game, part 70s disco. The trendy feminine fit is a nice complement to its old school vibe. The 'tulip' styled back adds just enough detail to make it business in the front and a party in the back.


Anamorphic Looks Matte Box friendly filters with variously measured bokeh shaping elements - Petite, Medium & Large.
Each filter designed with a top/bottom notch for adding Flare/Streak filament.
The Flare/Streak Filter Frame is designed with multiple notches around the frame for use with various filaments.
Years ago we created the very first professional Anamorphic Looks filter kit; The CineMorph Filters by Vid-Atlantic. Before this the only other way to achieve an anamorphic look was to use expensive and complex focusing lens systems.
Now at the request of many professional independent and studio level filmmakers, we've introduced a 4x4 and 4x5.65 CineMorph set for matte-box systems. Sets include FOUR 4"x4" or 4"x5.65" CineMorph (Anamorphic Looks) Filters, each with a varying size anamorphic bokeh shaping element; Petit, Medium, Large and a Flare/Streak Frame.
The Streak/Flare Filter Frame (available in both 4x4" and 4x5.65" sizes) is designed with multiple notches all around the frame for use with various filaments.
The filters are designed to allow the user to add various gauges/sizes of flaring & streaking filaments of their choosing.
PLEASE NOTE: Flare/Streak filament not included - You can easily find various filament material in hardware stores, craft shops, etc.
Q: How do I add flares and streaks?
A: After achieving a compatible bokeh effect with your lens and camera setup you can then add nylon or other optical filaments to the filter by wrapping it around the top and bottom notches that are specifically cut into the filters by design. Many people use different gauges of fishing line to achieve a flaring effect.
Q: Which lenses are compatible?
A: Firstly, like the original CineMorph filter we recommend using medium to tele focal lengths (50mm or tighter) with apertures in the f0.95 to f2.8 range. The optics on wider focal length lenses do not take kindly to bokeh shaping and vignetting can occur. Secondly, due to all of the many camera, sensor (crop factors) and lens specifications available to us as filmmakers these days, we are not able to test all of the variables and combinations. We can not guarantee which lens systems will or will not work.
Q: I'm seeing vignetting when using these filters, what can I do?
Avoid wide focal lengths. Please use medium to tele focal length lenses.
Try switching to a larger filter size in the kit.
Adjust the distance of the matte-box and filter.
If possible use a lens with a smaller sized front optic.
Adjust the crop sensor setting on your camera if possible.
If vignetting is minimal then please crop past it in post-production if possible.
If none of these options work then the current lens and camera combination that you are using is not compatible with the filters. We can not guarantee which lens systems will or will not work, but please hold on to the filters for future use with a more friendly combination.
These filters are low cost bespoke items (made to order via precision machining) that we recommend keeping in your arsenal of tools for use on various camera/lens setups whether it be smaller SLR lens or larger Cinema lenses.

Sanity for Android Gives You Total Control Over Incoming Calls and Texts
Android: Sanity is a free utility for Android that can suppress unwanted phone calls and SMS messages, announce the names of callers when you get a call or message, allow urgent calls through even if your phone is set to silent, and more.
Sanity's features boost your phone's privacy and make sure that every time your phone rings or you get a SMS, it's from someone you want to hear from. The app will automatically refuse calls and SMS messages from people on a block list, or from any unknown or anonymous numbers. You can also tell the app to auto-answer callers on a white list, or automatically allow callers on an emergency list to get through to you even if they call during silent hours or when your phone is set to silent mode.
The app can also automatically announce a caller's name before it answers, and can record phone calls from select callers as soon as you pick up (just remember to check if recording phone calls is legal where you are before enabling this!) and save them to your SD card. The app is free at Google Play, although there's a $5 "Donate" version, which supports the developer, allows you to record more than 2 minutes of a phone call, and unlocks more settings in the app options.

Effortless Accessibility – The New Face of Digital Equality
THE MOST PROMISING ACCESSIBILITY SOLUTION - The value of a digital solution hinges on its ability to provide effortless accessibility functions to end consumers without compromising user experiences. Along the same lines, a website that fails to help differently-abled patrons attain equal experiences is bound to tarnish an organization's hard-earned reputation. A lack of special web features prevents disabled people from navigating the vast online information realm and isolates them from the general society. Hence, a company's digital architecture must be as hospitable and inclusive as its brick-and-mortar facilities.
Propelling this idea forward is an Israeli organization called EqualWeb, which provides accessibility solutions for their customers' websites. EqualWeb's cloud-based platform and state-of-the-art remediation tools provide accessibility features such as smart navigation using numeric keys, voice commands to browse the website without a mouse/keyboard, and many more. EqualWeb upholds digital equality above all; it transforms websites to make online content accessible for people with special needs. "We are the one-stop-shop for all digital accessibility needs," remarked Adam Ikar, CEO at EqualWeb. He added, "We offer a wide range of solutions that includes auditing, remediation, monitoring, and consulting, among many others."
EqualWeb has an ingrained experience of over two decades working for people with disabilities. Banking on this accumulated knowledge, the company offers a straightforward, cost-effective accessibility solution to transform its customers' websites.
Without interfering with the already running website's architecture or modifying existing codes, EqualWeb seamlessly integrates its solutions into client websites to create a digitally inclusive channel for media consumption.
EqualWeb's skilled team of IT experts, designers, programmers, and marketing professionals meticulously scan customers' site domains to unearth issues that may hinder web accessibility. The company's machine learning algorithms identify and analyze inconsistencies in data patterns. By either using an automatic remediation process or applying its fully managed manual audit plans, EqualWeb introduces accessibility rules that fit customers' code, content, and style.
With a single line of code at the back end, EqualWeb fulfills the entirety of their accessibility needs.
The company combines full WCAG 2.1 compliance with an intuitive and seamless browsing experience for all. It allows users to select from 27 accessibility functions to create the optimal browsing experience, regardless of disability or personal limitation. In its comprehensive accessibility menu, EqualWeb orchestrates features such as screen reader adjustment, keyboard navigation, numeric navigation, blink block, text reader, voice commands, color adjustments, customer color, font sizing, readable fonts, and others. These online remediation widgets are unobtrusively present on every web page to provide the ultimate accessibility for any user's needs.
EqualWeb's simple Google Chrome browser plugin automatically detects accessibility issues by locating and identifying 70 percent of potential problem areas. After scanning, the robust checker flags static and dynamic accessibility concerns on customers' HTML pages based on WCAG 2.1 compliance requirements. The checker tool, along with EqualWeb's remediation widget, helps clients mitigate any issues and expand their digital presence among users. To that end, EqualWeb's accessibility experts use its AI-based technology to periodically monitor customers' sites, highlighting any potential violation risks. When encountering inconsistencies, the EqualWeb team proficiently mitigates error and manually audits customers' websites for full WCAG compliance and certification. The company even offers customers' websites auditing to provide them an actionable checklist of accessibility constraints to prevent potential lawsuits. And EqualWeb stands behind its product. "We are proud to offer a $1 million warranty to our clients, protecting them from potential loss," said Ikar.
Success Stories that Spur Progress
A typical client onboarding process at EqualWeb begins with evaluating the customer's website before proceeding with any remediation widgets. EqualWeb then issues a report to highlight the changes required to make the website/mobile app accessible. After ensuring that the domain meets WCAG standards, EqualWeb prepares an ADA-compliant website for its customers.
To further illustrate these benefits, Ikar cites a case study where EqualWeb collaborated with Fiverr, the biggest online global trading platform. The client's website was very complex, with hundreds of components changing every month.
To facilitate a more seamless operation, Fiverr installed the EqualWeb remediation widget. EqualWeb technicians analyzed the site behind the scenes using their smart AI engine from the ground up, introducing accessibility rules that fit the code, content, and style. This automated process was not only designed to fix common issues, but also to ensure the highest levels of compliance. In Fiverr's case, this automated process fixed 70% of the accessibility issues in less than a day. Following this, EqualWeb accessibility experts initiated the manual process of auditing and remedying all Fiverr components and templates - and in less than two months, the site was 99% accessible.
Rather than hiring an expensive in-house professional, Fiverr chose to go with EqualWeb, spending only a fraction of the amount they'd have spent otherwise. Every year, the EqualWeb team conducts manual testing and adjustments to enhance the level of accessibility and bring it back to 99 percent after every update. EqualWeb's solution fixed a longstanding and perplexing issue, and the client forged a relationship with EqualWeb that stands strong to this day.
EqualWeb leaves no stone unturned to make its customers' website accessible by all, regardless of traffic or upgrade requirements. The company even goes the extra mile by offering consultancy services to help customers realize the importance of featuring the right mix of accessibility functions to serve all audience categories.
"In the physical world, it goes without saying that access for people with disabilities must be ensured, such as entrance ramps, accessible restrooms, and so on," noted Ikar. "The same goes for the digital world - morally, legally, and economically. People with disabilities must be allowed the same access, information, and ability to perform actions on stores and websites as anyone else can."
To that end, EqualWeb also provides accessibility training to help customers understand the ever-changing online landscape in the wake of premium technologies and how they affect accessibility needs for the disabled. This pragmatic approach allows clients to curate websites that serve the broadest potential audience with minimal litigation risk.
"Innovation is the essential key here. We are using machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to make our solutions more autonomic, faster, and reliable.
We're proud to be working alongside people with disabilities at every step of our development cycle to create an EqualWeb that is accessible to everyone," concluded Ikar.

How to sell to 100 enterprise clients in less than a year
Put the exit dream aside. Every startup aspires to accumulate a large number of enterprise customers - the kind whose logo, when posted on the site, would display a kind of "industry standard" and identify them as a reliable market-leading company. About half of startup companies fail at this task - how can they succeed in their own right and sell their services directly to enterprise-level organizations?
Mélange Accessibility For All Magazine
Mélange is an organization that organize workshops, conferences and tradeshows in the Caribbean in the area of accessibility. EqualWeb is proud to co-operate and present at Mélange accessibility for all Magazine. Mélange is an organization that set up workshops, conferences and tradeshows in the Caribbean in the area of accessibility.
Our shared goal is to raise awareness to the importance of inclusion people with disabilities in the Physical space and especially now also in the Digital space by using Equalweb's
Unique technology to turn any website fully usable to people with disabilities with a simple line of code.
Equalweb adapts websites to make them more accessible to people with disabilities
About 45 million people have some limitation on internet access —and the problem is not in the lack of broadband. They are people with some disability, especially visual or auditory, who need some help to surf the internet. But although Brazilian legislation requires websites to be inclusive, 99% of sites in Brazil have some barrier that makes navigation difficult, according to a study by the Web for All movement.

Melis, Gianluca (2011) Nuovi paradigmi per le reti ecologiche: definizione di una metodologia GIS per l'analisi territoriale finalizzata all'individuazione e alla gestione di reti ecologiche alla scala del paesaggio. Doctoral Thesis.
The thesis belongs to the concpetual foreground of territorial policies and planning practices for biodiversity conservation, focusing in the ecological network as a model useful in landscape planning. Ecological networks concept, attractive for its semplicity and intelligibility, leaves a real sense of imprecision and impracticability that motivate the need for a deep re-thinking of its foundamenal paradigms. This is the target of the research. The aim is to define a new GIS framework for planning capable to integrate in the latest advances in the theoretical landscape ecology, for a refinement of ecological network model towards a best integration in planning. Categorical representation of landscapes has heavily influenced the dominant paradigm (patch-matrix model) recognized meaningful in describing ecologicl processes. The inadequacy of this paradimg is the foundamental hypothesis of this research. The recognition of a complex system of hidden assumptions is demonstrated to be the real cause of failure for the ecologcal network concept and model for landscape planning. Furthermore a new theoretical development in landscape ecology (the landscape gradient model) was recognized as the new potential tool to redraw a unexplored relational domain between planning and ecology based on a process-based point of view. Thanks to recent development in GIS techniques a methodological proposal, aiming to demonstrate the skills of this new approach in facing planning problems, is presented.
