Today, traditional TV still accounts for the lion's share of video viewing, but online and mobile are where the growth is. From fourth quarter 2012 to fourth-quarter 2013, the hours consumers spent watching online video grew 30%. When managed together, TV/digital/mobile hold the potential to drive real impact for advertisers—enabling them to maximize the customers they reach and/or reinforce key messaging across screens. After all, 'It's all about screens'.

For Tuesday, October 21, 2014 (Posted 10.22.14)
CBS #1 as 'NCIS' again top program on Tuesday.
The Tiffany Network managed to maintain overnight Tuesday dominance despite facing Game One of The 2014 World Series, narrowly beating baseball by two-tenths of a rating point (or 2%)) in households. Black Rock slipped by only 4% from one week earlier with its line-up beginning at 8P with 'NCIS' drawing with 16.88 million viewers and a 10.5/16 with a terrific episode about a hijacking at sea. Great to see the always popular Coast Guard Investigative Service Agent Borin in the episode. She should be a regular. Besides, she has red hair, always a popular choice with Gibbs. At 9P, 'NCIS: New Orleans' continued its strong performance by delivering a great mystery episode and drawing 15.87 million viewers and a 9.5/14, again #1 in its time slot. To understand how good this is, the new show is only 1 million viewers less than the #1 drama on all of television. Wow! At 10P, 'Person of Interest' in a continuing crazy plot which is becoming more and more difficult to follow dropped to second in its time slot with 9.26 million viewers and a 6.0/10. If this program gets any more confusing, it will be looking for a pink slip. What was once a great program has turned into a muddy mess of conspiracy theories and robotic killers. Time to get back to the basics which made this program great in the first place.
Finally, the Animal Network of Broadcast has figured out why baseball is very, very good for them. At 8P, the '2014 World Series' began Game One in Kansas City as the San Francisco Giants beat the Royals and drew 10.68 million viewers and a strong 8.5/14. In an age of live sporting events being kind of television, Murdoch's Minons finally figured it out as they should have been doing the entire post season journey instead of handing it off to a sub-cable cousin. One week earlier, Murdochville averaged a mere 1.4/2 in the household overnights with its combination of reruns of 'The Simpsons' and 'Bob's Burgers' and original episodes of the falling 'New Girl' and 'The Mindy Project'.
The Peacock Network never really had much of a chance on Tuesday. At 8P, 'The Voice' finished with 11.50 million viewers and a 7.8/12, good for third in its time slot. At 9P, 'Marry Me slipped badly to 6.07 million viewers and a 4.2/6, which was 25% below the 5.6/9 series-opener last week. That translated into 7.54 million viewers. At 930P, 'About A Boy' finished third in its time slot with 4.89 million viewers and a 3.3/5, which dropped by 21% from the 4.2/6 season-opener one week earlier. It was followed at 10P by 'Chicago Fire' with 7.43 million viewers and a 4.6/8. Comparably, overnight growth for 'Chicago Fire' out of 'About a Boy' is a noticeable 39%. 'About A Boy' is a winner despite the horrible 'Marry Me'. Git rid of 'Marry Me' and Peacock has a chance to grow.
The Alphabet Network is beginning the alphabet with z. It if gets any worse, the suits at Disneyville will all be asleep. At 8P, 'Selfie' attracted 3.81 million pop culture viewers and a 2.8/4. At 830P, 'Manhattan Love Story' was even worse with 2.65 million friends and family and a 2.1/3, which dropped from year-ago occupant 'Marvel's Agents of SHIELD (5.1/ 8 on 10/22/13) by an average of 52%. Overnight results for both comedies, which have three more scripts ordered, were series-lows. By the way, CW's 'The Flash' beat 'Manhattan Love Story'. At 9P, relocated 'Marvel's Agents of SHIELD' could only muster a fourth-place 4.29 million viewers and a 3.0/5. There is no relationship between the two sitcoms and the comic book series. Then, at 10P, one of the network's best new programs actually increased viewership despite such horrible lead-ins. 'Forever' drew a network high of 4.80 million viewers and a 3.4/6, which was equal to last week with NO lead in strength. In a tremendous episode featuring a 'Jack the Ripper' rip-off, the good Doctor was able to only dies once in this episode but for good reason. It is Must See TV ON DEMAND. Great show.
The Little Network That Could almost did. What a Tuesday! At 8P, 'The Flash' while dropping 10% from week two still drew 3.38 million viewers and a 2.7/4. That 2.7 rating was 80% above year-ago occupant 'The Originals' (1.5/2 on 10/22/13). At 9P, 'Supernatural' drew 2.10 million viewers and a 1.5/2 which was equal to last week and a year ago. The suits at the Little One did good on Tuesday.
CBS finished #1 with 14.00 million viewers and a whopping 8.7/14. And not far behind was FOX which finished with 10.68 million viewers and an 8.5/14. NBC finished with 8.14 million viewers and a 5.4/9. ABC was completely out of it as it drew 4.11 million viewers and a 2.9/5. The CW nearly beat Alphabet Net with 2.74 million viewers and a 2.1/3.
Today In TV History
On this date in 1939, the first televised pro football game was telecast from New York. Brooklyn defeated Philadelphia 23-14. While no record of that telecast was found, a clip from the 1939 Championship Game from the storied Green Bay Packers did. Ed Danowski of New York passes but Green Bay intercepts. Cecil Isbell of Green Bay passes to Joe Laws for a TD and 17-0 lead. Arnie Herber of Green Bay completes long pass to Harry Jacunski. Ernie Smith kicks 42 yard field goal. Benton of Green Bay intercepts Giants pass. Jacunski goes to New York one yard line. Jankowski score final Green Bay TD. Crowds on field. And the Green Bay Packers, America's Team, wins another of its league leading championships pennants in Titletown, USA.
Digital/Mobile News
Few videos were watched to full completion during Q2, reports Adobe, although videos viewed on desktops were 3 times more likely than those viewed on mobile devices to reach 75% completion. Separately, the study finds that mobile devices were responsible for more than 1 in 4 video starts in Q2 (26.6%), up from 18.6% a year earlier.

Minnesota State's tough nonconference slate might be one of the toughest in the country
It's time to get ready for college hockey
In the post-modern landscape of college hockey, a team like Minnesota State can accomplish three things with its nonconference schedule:
— It can maintain or renew old regional rivalries.
— It can boost its strength of schedule for national-tournament consideration at the end of the year.
— It can provide unique experiences for players and fans alike.
This weekend's series at North Dakota checks all three boxes, just as last week's season-opening games at the Verizon Center against Boston University did.
"For sure, it's definitely exciting playing Boston University and North Dakota, two teams that are pretty storied franchises," Mavericks senior Max Coatta said.
The Mavericks swept the Terriers a week ago and hope to keep things rolling this weekend at Ralph Engelstad Arena at Grand Forks, North Dakota, against the Fighting Hawks.

— Minn. St. Athletics (@MinnStAthletics) October 15, 2018
It will mark the first time MSU and UND are playing each other since they were both members of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association in 2012-13.
College hockey's big realignment took place after that season, and several WCHA teams went their separate ways.
Minnesota State has tried to keep many of those teams close, however, scheduling Minnesota, St. Cloud State, Minnesota Duluth and Nebraska-Omaha in nonconference play, while mixing in teams from the east such as Boston University, Providence, Princeton and Connecticut. The Mavericks have gone 19-17 against those teams since the 2013-14 season.

Mavericks coach Mike Hastings said playing the old rivals is important, but so is giving his team the experience of going out east, as MSU did last year at Boston University, and having those teams, in turn, come to Mankato.
"No. 1, there's interest and excitement," Hastings said. "BU has a national reputation. Year in and year out, they expect to be in the national tournament and compete for a Hockey East championship. If you're a fan and you turn on the tournament, the Boston Terriers are in there."
Boston University was ranked eighth when it played MSU last week. North Dakota is currently No. 16.
"It's another challenge for us," Hastings said. "Consistently, UND is one of the best teams in the country. We're going into a facility that's going to have 11,000-plus on their side."

North Dakota will return the favor and come to Mankato next season.
"People remember what it was like to have North Dakota in this building and to go up there," Hastings said.
The Mavericks will play No. 6 Minnesota home and home on Nov. 2-3 and take on No. 3 Minnesota Duluth, the defending national champion, to start Arizona State's tournament on Dec. 28-29. Clarkson, a team currently receiving votes in the polls, is the other team there.
"Who doesn't love competition?" Hastings said. "You want to play the best and you want to compare yourself to teams that are going to make you better every day."
The opponents, perhaps, are starting to feel the same way. Minnesota State, currently ranked No. 7, is coming off its third WCHA regular-season championship in four years and its fourth national-tournament appearance in six seasons. No team has won more games in the last six-plus seasons than the Mavericks with 153 victories.
"It's important for us to keep getting better," Hastings said. "In order to do that, we have to keep challenging ourselves so the program can continue to grow.
"There's an expectation from the administration and the community and internally from the players and coaches of excellence and success. It doesn't always get measured on the scoreboard, but it's about building something sustainable."

No. 5 Minnesota State men's hockey shuts out No. 4 Minnesota Duluth

Q: piped node.js ServerResponse object throws write after end in formidable event A basic html form with enctype='multipart' not included here. The first trip to the server serves without error, but after two trips through upload path. Node throws "write after end Error".   Calling resp.end() inside the event does not produce this error and it happens only if the stream piping is done inside of formidable event.
const http = require( "http" );
const form = require( 'formidable' ).IncomingForm();

    function fileStream( filepath){
        let readstream = fs.createReadStream(filepath );
        readstream.setEncoding( "utf8" );
        return readstream;
    }

    let server = http.createServer();
    server.listen( 8080 );

    server.on( "request", function( req, resp ){

        let requestpath = url.parse( req.url ).pathname.slice( 1 );

    switch ( requestpath ) {
            case "upload":
                form.parse( req );
                form.on( "field", function( field ){
   //throws "ERR_STREAM_WRITE_AFTER_END" after 2nd request/upload trip
                    filestream( "index.html").pipe( resp );
                } )
                break;
            default:
                filestream( "index.html").pipe( resp );
                break;
        }
    } )

According to Node.js, stream piped to IncomingMessage will call end() after the readstream is closed. I am trying to understand what the cause of the error is. since formidable does not seem to end response.

A: You need to create a new IncomingForm instance for each request:
const { IncomingForm } = require('formidable');

...

switch (requestpath) {
  case "upload":
    const form = IncomingForm();
    form.parse(req);
    form.on("field", function(field) {

If you don't, for each request an additional field event will be emitted (I guess that formidable internally stores body data by appending to some internal buffer).
After the first field event is emitted, and your code streams the file (which subsequently ends the response), the second field event will try to do the same and will cause the error to occur.

Jordan, Robert Pattinson, Ryan Gosling, Sandra Bullock, Tom Cruise
Actors lead the list of the best paid names on the big screen in 2021, according to Variety magazine. Robert Pattinson earned $ 3 million for the next DC Comics film, making him one of the lowest-paid Batmans. Chris Pine (11.5 million) – "Dungeons and Dragons", Keanu Reeves (12 million) – "Matrix 4", Tom Cruise (13 million) – "Top Gun: Maverick" and Michael B. Jordan (15 million) – "Without Remorse" are among the names on the list.
Three other superstars join the list earning the $ 20 million mark. Brad Pitt will star in the thriller "Bullet Train" which will be directed by David Leitch and has an all-star ensemble. In "Thor: Love and Thunder" one of the most anticipated films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Chris Hemsworth will once again dress as a superhero. While Ryan Gosling will star alongside Chris Evans and Ana de Armas in the upcoming thriller "The Gray Man" from the Russo brothers, which will be released on Netflix.
Mark Wahlberg features in "Spenser Confidential" another action picture in his style, for $30 million. Leonardo Di Caprio, who is in the cast of "Don't Look Up," a film on which Netflix, has earnings in a similar range.
Denzel Washington and Will Smith, on the other hand, bring in 40 million each. The first is the lead in "The Little Things," a thriller film starring Jared Leto and Rami Malek. The other actor will play the father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams in "King Richard."
Dwayne Johnson, who had held the title of highest-paid actor for several years, is now in second place. This time, we'll see "The Rock" in "Red One," one of Amazon Studios' greatest bets for next year, for which the studio has paid 50 million dollars to the actor exclusively.
And it is Daniel Craig, not because of his role as 007, but because of his role as investigator Benoit Blanc in the sequel to "Knives Out," who beats The Rock. The Netflix production will pay the British a big chunk of money in the magnitude of $100 million.
Only three actresses stand out. Sandra Bullock earns a significant $ 20 million. The 57-year-old actress will co-star alongside Channing Tatum and Daniel Radcliffe in "The Lost City of D," an adventure and comedy film. The release date for this Paramount Pictures production is April 15, 2022.
Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence are tied for a salary of $25 million. The legendary 53-year-old actress co-stars with Denzel Washington in Netflix's "Leave the World Behind," a thriller based on Rumaan Alam's novel. While the 31-year-old is a co-star in "Don't Look Up" a story about two astronomers attempting to convey to the globe that a comet will hit the Earth in six months and might end mankind, alongside Di Caprio.

Actor Daniel Craig has topped the list of highest-paid movie actors in 2021, earning $100 million more than actor Dwayne Johnson.
Daniel Craig got his money, according to reports, from Knives Out 2 and Knives Out 3. Dwayne Johnson, on the other hand, has made $50 million from Amazon's Red One, a holiday-themed action film.
Will Smith and Denzel Washington are just behind Johnson, with each earning USD 40 million for their flicks King Richard and The Little Things, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Netflix flicks 'Don't Look Up' and 'Spenser Confidential' earned Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg $30 million apiece.
Jennifer Lawrence, who earned USD 25 million from Don't Look Up, is ranked sixth.
Julia Roberts (USD 25 million from Leave the World Behind), Sandra Bullock (USD 20 million from The Lost City of D), and Ryan Gosling are among the top ten actors on the list (USD 20 million from The Gray Man).
For 'Thor: Love and Thunder' and 'Bullet Train,' Chris Hemsworth and Brad Pitt matched Ryan's $20 million.
Actor Michael B. Jordan received $15 million for his role in 'Without Remorse,' whereas Tom Cruise was only paid $13 million up front for his role in 'Top Gun: Maverick.' Keanu Reeves is ranked 15th on the list, with earnings of $12-14 million from 'The Matrix 4'. Chris Pine, who reportedly got $11.5 million from his picture 'Dungeons & Dragons,' and Robert Pattinson, who reportedly received $3 million from 'The Batman,' join the A-listers above.

The IRS Attacks Family-owned Businesses
By Kenny Stein
The estate tax, applied to assets of someone when they die, represents a tiny portion of federal revenue. But for farms and businesses at risk of being caught by this death tax, the effects can be huge. If a business or farm is valuable enough to be ensnared by the estate tax, passing on this asset built and developed over a lifetime, or across generations, becomes extraordinarily difficult and costly, sometimes even impossible. But apparently the Internal Revenue Service does not think this situation is bad enough and has proposed new regulations which would make passing on a business to your children even more difficult.
The estate tax includes exemption levels below which assets in an estate can avoid tax. In the case of a farm or business, however, the total value of the enterprise often exceeds this threshold. The estate tax applies not just to wholly owned enterprises, but even fractional ownership stakes of larger enterprises. So for example if three brothers own equal stakes in a business and one dies, his heirs will have to pay estate tax on the value of the one-third of the business he owned.
Such a situation leads to an obvious problem: what if his heirs do not have enough cash to cover that estate tax? After all, the value of the company is just on paper. Should the heirs be forced to sell that one-third of the company to pay the taxes? And if so, who would buy one-third of a family-owned company, knowing that they will not have control over the business (since the other two brothers own the majority of the company)?
To address this issue, the IRS allows for the value of minority stakes in businesses (like the brother's one third) to be discounted to account for the fact that such a stake would be near impossible to sell for the full paper value. These accounting measures can substantially reduce the cost of estate taxes, allowing family-owned businesses to remain in the family rather than being sold off to cover the death tax.
To the Obama administration's IRS, however, these accounting provisions are evil. They don't like the idea of anyone escaping the long arm of the tax man. So the IRS has proposed changing its accounting rules to severely limit the ability to discount the value of stakes in family-owned businesses.
This is an assault on family-owned businesses, pure and simple. Rather than creating a system where an entrepreneur can pass on a business or farm to his children, the Obama administration wants to swing the tax hammer. They don't care that this means that family businesses will have to be sold off; they just want more money for the federal leviathan.
These rules are not yet final, they are just at the proposed stage. This means that the public still has an opportunity to weigh in with comments. You have until Nov. 2 to make your voice heard, comment now at this link.

In July 2015, FreedomWorks Foundation published an issue brief, From High Seas to Highway Robbery: How Civil Asset Forfeiture Became One of the Worst Forms of Government Overreach, which documented the history of civil asset forfeiture and how it came to be used so frequently. In the more than four years since the publication of this issue brief, several states have passed reforms to protect innocent individuals from civil asset forfeiture. There has also been a case at the Supreme Court that touches on the issue.

Dumpster Fire of the Month: House Democrats' Rules Allow for a Suspension of the Debt Limit
Tucked away in the rules that House Democrats rolled out at the beginning of the 116th Congress is a provision that temporarily suspends the debt limit if the House of Representatives passes a budget resolution. The provision is what's known as a self-executing rule. This may be legislative inside baseball, but it's a rather radical change to the rules that differs from even from a similar rule employed in the past.

Key Vote NO on S.J.Res. 64 - Disapproval Resolution to Weaken Free Speech and Privacy Protections
On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and urge them to vote NO on S.J.Res. 64, the disapproval resolution under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify the Department of the Treasury's policy to end the collection of donor information to certain 501(c) nonprofit organizations. S.J.Res. 64 would weaken free speech protections and put donor privacy at risk.


The setup consisted of a 5 gallon bucket with rubber seal to form the main enclosure, a 3 gallon bucket to hold the carbon, a plastic coffee can, some thin aluminum screen, 4" OD toilet anchors to act as ports, and a tube of silicone caulk to seal everything up. All components, except for the active carbon itself and the coffee can, can be found at a Home Depot for about $20.
Basically, I took the plastic coffee can, cut the sides out, and added some screen held in place with silicone to be my innermost support. For the 4" port on the bottom, I used a toilet anchor and cut 4" holes through the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and a 3 gallon bucket and sealed everything up with silicone. A small ring of PVC that press fit the 4" OD toilet anchor was added for mechanical support (you can kinda see it in the pic where the 4" ducting is installed below).
The 3 gallon bucket was used to form a support cage which screen was attached to, much like the coffee can, but this time the holes were cut with the same 4" hole cutter that was used to make the holes for the 4" inlet (toilet anchor). The active carbon is poured in to the 3 gallon bucket and forms an envelope around the coffee can. Once filled, the 3 gallon bucket lid is installed. I probably took a little too much material out of the sides of the 3 gallon bucket, as it was a little difficult to get the lid on it because the sides kept collapsing a bit.
It took a little less that 3 quarts of active carbon to fill the void in the 3 gallon bucket (about 60 oz. by weight). I was surprised that very little of the active carbon actually made it through the screen (a little less than a tablespoon) while filling. After filling, I attached a 4" hose to the inlet and sucked some air through the filter (I would suggest you do this along with filling the filter outside) with a small dust collector motor. Airflow didn't seem particularly impeded by the filter so it should work well with the dust collection system in the shop.
In normal operation, air from the laser cutter would come in the coffee can where it would pass through 1.5"-2" or more of active carbon between the 3 gallon bucket interior and the coffee can exterior, then out the lid of the 5 gallon bucket. I'm eager to actually put this thing to the test here in the next 2-ish weeks and see if it actually works for filtering out the nasty gasses put off by the laser in operation.

Good overall design and points for not fabricating parts that are cheaper to buy. One of the overlooked aspects in Adsorption systems is the reverse part of such processes. Everything that gets captured will eventually both saturate the medium's capacity and be released when conditions favor release.
That's a major gotcha for the unwary. The carbon pack will at some point be so supersaturated by nasty volatiles that it WILL outgas them under forseeable operating conditions. Which mandates a planned "Purge Cycle: to manage those volatiles. Either doing so at a place in an exhaust airstream or feeding into a combustion process.
I'd suggest considerations of transporting saturated Adsorbers to where a burner will be running for either space heat or metal heating operations that would be above the destruction thresholds for such volatiles. Even though the heat gain will be negligibly trivial and not a value consideration, feeding vapors through a burner is one of the best potential harm mitigation methods. There's also the non-trivial risk from carbon dust explosions being initiated by low flash point chemicals in such canisters, Ignition sources potentially being when purging into an afterburner or just arcing from motor brushes- and yes..static discharges from airflow.

PRESERVING HISTORIC PROPERTIES
There are many historic buildings on Cape Cod, and many in Yarmouth itself.
We are proud to say that the Society owns and maintains five of these historic properties, some of which were donated to us for preservation by people whose families held and even lived in them for generations.
They include:
• The Captain Bangs Hallet House Museum
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the centerpiece of the Society's properties, this home is a stately, fully-furnished sea captain's home, circa 1700s-1840. It is the only one like it on Cape Cod regularly open to the public. In 1958, the house and 50 acres of adjacent woodland associated with it were given as a generous gift to the Society in support of our mission by Guido Perera, a descendant of Anthony Thacher, one of the three original founders of Yarmouth.
MUSEUM HOURS: Open Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 1-4 PM through October 8th. Docent Guided Tours 1-4 PM, (last tour
3 PM).
ADMISSION: $5 for adults; FREE to all HSOY Members, Yarmouth residents, and kids.
Also on the grounds of the Captain Bangs Hallet House Museum is a
Weeping Beech Tree, one of only a few on the Cape. It's a spectacular
sight with an enormous spread and limbs that literally embrace all those
who stand beneath it. There's a photo of it in the weddings slideshow for
the Kelley Chapel elsewhere on this website.
FOR YOUR BUCKET LIST This massive English Weeping Beech, on the grounds of the Captain Bangs Hallet House Museum, is approximately 150 years old and has to be seen to be believed. Selfies welcome.
• The Kelley Chapel
This non-denominational Chapel was built in South Yarmouth by David Kelley, a Quaker, for his daughter, Rosa, who taught bible lessons to the children of the poor. It was also used by community members for baptisms and other various celebrations. It was donated to the Society in 1959 by the builder's grandson, Amos Kelley Haswell, who led the Quaker community for many years and it is now the scene of many memorable Cape Cod weddings and other events.
• The Benjamin T. Gorham Cobbler Shop
A circa 1850 building, which the Society saved in 2005, relocated and restored, now serves as the Society's administrative office and houses our archival collections. It is located at 229 Old King's Highway (Route 6A) in Yarmouth Port, MA. 02675.
• The Benjamin Hallet Blacksmith Shop
Now located on the HSOY Nature trail next to the Kelley Chapel, this Blacksmith Shop dates from the mid-19th century. It was donated to the Society in the 1950s by descendants of Louis B. Thacher.
• The Faith Tufts Gatehouse
This small building served as the original Davenport Real Estate office located on Ferry Street in West Dennis. It was donated to the Society by John Davenport in the late 1950s and moved to its present location.
• The Nature Trails
The Nature Trails, maintained by the Historical Society of Old Yarmouth, begin at the Faith Tufts Gatehouse. They meander through more than 50 acres of woodland splendor for all who enjoy the outdoors. Trail maps are available in the mailbox next to the front door of the Gatehouse. Although the trails are now rich with forest vegetation and botanical specimens, this was not always the case. For on this 50 acres was located the first golf course on Cape Cod. Built in the 1890s as a private course for the Thacher family, the course was used for several decades but then allowed to revert to its natural state. The land was generously donated to the historical society by Mr. Guido Perera, a descendant of the Thacher family. If you look closely, you can still catch a glimpse of the golf course landscape. Today, the trail wanders toward Miller's Pond and through acres of Cape Cod's natural beauty.
NATURE TRAILS HOURS: Open daily year round dawn to dusk.
ADMISSION: A donation is requested to help maintain the trails. A letter-slot in the front door of the Gatehouse is provided for donations. Thank you!
• TAKE A PEEK: Enjoy a Virtual Walk on our Nature Trails via this short video generously contributed by David A. Blake. (See if you can identify the mystery creature that periodically visits Miller's Pond!)
NATURE TRAILS MAP (click this link for a downloadable pdf you can print and carry with you).
DIRECTIONS: From Mid-Cape Highway (Route 6), take exit 7. Go north on Willow Street to Route 6A. Turn right onto 6A approximately 6/10 of a mile. Large sign for entrance to Nature Trails is on the right, immediately before the entrance to the Yarmouth Port Post Office.
Trails are reached by parking and walking down a gravel road approximately 50 yards. Printed "Trail Guides" are available in metal letter-box at the door of the small Gatehouse building, just before the gravel road. (From Route 28, take Willow Street, West Yarmouth Road, or Station Avenue to get to Route 6A, thence to the Post Office.)


Parenting is the ultimate asana! Like any good yoga, it bring us to our edges every day.
When we are at our edge emotionally or mentally -- the place where we think we can't stand it a second longer -- we don't always have to run away.
Sometimes we can stay there and breathe a bit, and we may find we can go a little deeper into the interaction, or we may decide to retreat. Either choice is okay.
It's the deep breath that allows us to decide and choose rather than react.

Like so many things it is not what is on the Outside, but what is on the Inside that counts – Disney's Aladdin.
It's been too long since I've sat at my computer and stared at the screen with an excitement with what I will type. There was a great deal of time that my thoughts, hopes, and dreams were tarnished by a broken heart I was desperately trying to fix. But there is a time to accept the past and move through the storm.
I found myself faced with a concept lately that is a bit scary for me and I will try my best to explain the twisty-turvy corners of my mind, but I feel as though there is a quote I should share that is an accurate summary of the thought.
Wow, my final Blog post of 2016. I apologize for it not being on it's regular day, but it seems fitting that it is today that I write this.

An Earley-style Parser for Solving the RNA-RNA Interaction Problem (Bachelor Thesis) (2010)
Wild, Sebastian
It has been observed that for understanding the biological function of certain RNA molecules, one has to study joint secondary structures of interacting pairs of RNA. In this thesis, a new approach for predicting the joint structure is proposed and implemented. For this, we introduce the class of m-dimensional context-free grammars --- an extension of stochastic context-free grammars to multiple dimensions --- and present an Earley-style semiring parser for this class. Additionally, we develop and thoroughly discuss an implementation variant of Earley parsers tailored to efficiently handle dense grammars, which embraces the grammars used for structure prediction. A currently proposed partitioning scheme for joint secondary structures is transferred into a two-dimensional context-free grammar, which in turn is used as a stochastic model for RNA-RNA interaction. This model is trained on actual data and then used for predicting most likely joint structures for given RNA molecules. While this technique has been widely used for secondary structure prediction of single molecules, RNA-RNA interaction was hardly approached this way in the past. Although our parser has O(n^3 m^3) time complexity and O(n^2 m^2) space complexity for two RNA molecules of sizes n and m, it remains practically applicable for typical sizes if enough memory is available. Experiments show that our parser is much more efficient for this application than classical Earley parsers. Moreover the predictions of joint structures are comparable in quality to current energy minimization approaches.
Randomized Jumplists With Several Jump Pointers (2015)
Neumann, Elisabeth
In 2003, a dictionary data structure called jumplist has been introduced by Brönnimann, Cazals and Durand. It is based on a circularly closed (singly) linked list, but additional jump-pointers are added to provide shortcuts to parts further ahead in the list. The original jump-and-walk data structure by Brönnimann, Cazals and Durand only introduces one jump-pointer per node. In this thesis, I add one more-jump pointer to each node and present algorithms for generation, insertion and search for the resulting data structure. Furthermore, I try to evaluate the effects on the expected search costs and the complexity of the generation and insertion. It turns out that the two-jump-pointer variant of the jumplist has a slightly better prefactor (1.2 vs. 2) in the leading term of the expected internal path length than the original version and despite the more complex structure of the two-jump-pointer variant compared to the regular jumplist, the complexity of generation and insertion remains linearithmic.

Q: Android sharedPreferences set default values issue I'm using some activities in my project. One of them is extended from PreferenceActivity.
I have a CheckBoxPreference and an EditTextPreference, I can get the values from all the other activities using:
SharedPreferences sharedPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
pref = sharedPrefs.getString("edit_text_pref", "error");

but when I open my app the values must be set to default, therefore I'm using:
PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext()).edit().clear().commit();

in my main activity.
All should be ok, but if I try to get the preference before to set it from the preferences menu I get "error" and not the default value that I set in the xml preference file.
If i comment the getDefaultSharedPreferences line it works fine but obviously when i open the app I get the old preferences.
How can i bypass this problem?

A: Take a look into
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/preference/PreferenceManager.html#setDefaultValues%28android.content.Context,%20int,%20boolean%29
Yout must be using this  setDefaultValues (Context context, int resId, boolean readAgain) some thing like
PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues(this, R.xml.preference, false);

Take a good look at the note section in the parameters. This is concering read again
Parameters
context   The context of the shared preferences.
resId The resource ID of the preference XML file.
readAgain   Whether to re-read the default values. If false, this method sets the default values only if this method has never been called in the past (or if the KEY_HAS_SET_DEFAULT_VALUES in the default value shared preferences file is false). To attempt to set the default values again bypassing this check, set readAgain to true.
Note: this will NOT reset preferences back to their default values. For that functionality, use getDefaultSharedPreferences(Context) and clear it followed by a call to this method with this parameter set to true
So I guess after clearing it you need to set it to default by passing the readAgain as true
something like
PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext()).edit().clear().commit();
 PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues(this, R.xml.preference, true);

A: You are receiving the default value itself, i.e, "error" because with Preferences, when you get the value of any preference then you need to specify a value that is to be returned if the preference is not set before. In your case, as you are setting the default value to "error" in here pref = sharedPrefs.getString("edit_text_pref", "error"); so thats what you get as the default value.

A: well, I tought the "error" was the value used if there was an error reading the value and not if the value was not set!!
Thank you it should be work, I'm going to try


Fiery the Angels Fell is a strong coral red or raspberry red (base color can appear slightly different under different lighting) that shifts golden orange to lighter orange. Can be used solo or over other colors, although this is a fairly opaque polish and two coats produce a nice duochrome foil on the nail.
Compared to Sally Hansen Lava: same color shift, much less sheer, tinted base so a slightly different base color. Compared to MAC Bad Fairy: more coral and in a lighter, reddish pink base.
Staining: This color does use lake dyes, but has a very low pigment load and should not stain. A base coat IS recommended for it however.
NOTE: I have -not- experienced staining with the pigment used in this polish, unlike quite a few of my commercial reds and pinks. Your mileage may vary, so I always recommend wearing a base coat under pinks, reds, yellows and yellow leaning greens to be safe.

While much has been written on the French and Indian War of 1754-1763, the colonial conflicts that preceded it have received comparatively little attention. Yet in King William's War, the first clash between England and France for control of North America, the patterns of conflict for the next seventy years were laid, as were the goals and objectives of both sides, as well as the realisation that the colonies of the two nations could not coexist. King William's War actually encompassed several proxy wars being fought by the English and the French through their native allies. The Beaver Wars was a long running feud between the Iroquois Confederacy, New France, and New France's native allies over control of the lucrative fur trade. Fuelled by English guns and money, the Iroquois attempted to divert the French fur trade towards their English trading partners in Albany, and in the process gain control over other Indian tribes. To the east the pro-French Wabanaki of Maine, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick had earlier fought a war with New England, but English expansion and French urgings, aided by foolish moves and political blunders on the part of New England, erupted into a second Wabanaki War on the eve of King William's War. Thus, these two conflicts officially became one with the arrival of news of a declaration of war between France and England in 1689. The next nine years saw coordinated attacks, including French assaults on Schenectady, New York, and Massachusetts, and English attacks around Montreal and on Nova Scotia. The war ended diplomatically, but started again five years later in Queen Anne's War. A riveting history full of memorable characters and events, and supported by extensive primary source material, King William's War: The First Contest fro North America, 1689–1697 by Michael G. Laramie is the first book-length treatment of arguably the most important war to the future of North America.
This is a compelling account of an unfamiliar conflict, and is one of those books that successfully immerses you in a very different world.
History of War
The reign of King William and Queen Mary has been strangely neglected when it was the pivotal point in the development of the British Empire and the dominance at sea of the Royal Navy. This new book corrects the omission with a stylish review of what could be described as the first global war. – Very Highly Recommended
Laramie's straightforward, well-organised effort should interest readers with a taste for colonial history and detail marital narratives.

What to stream: 'The Defenders' – the super anti-team on Netflix
!Featured 08/18/2017 Sean Axmaker
Here's what's new and ready to stream now on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBO Now, Showtime Anytime, FilmStruck, video-on-demand, and other streaming services …
Netflix hosts the small screen superhero event of the year: The Defenders, the long-promised team-up of Matt Murdoch/Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Danny Rand/Iron Fist (Finn Jones). More down to earth than The Avengers, they aren't necessarily team players, which is part of the fun. The bicker, clash, and flick a lot of shit at Danny, the brooding rich white kid with the Iron Fist.
Sigourney Weaver takes villain duties as the leader of The Hand and its plan for world domination and characters from the solo series make appearances, including Elektra (Elodie Yung) and, of course, Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson), who has appeared in all four series as the private nurse to the heroes and makes the initial introductions between the loner heroes. The team doesn't actually get together for a couple of episodes but the show weaves their individual journeys together with a momentum that the solo shows never managed.
That makes The Defenders is swifter, punchier show, less complex but more energetic and splashy, and the character chemistry even makes the self-serious Danny Rand a little more bearable.
The advance reviews haven't all been glowing but they have been overwhelmingly positive. By any measure it is a return to form after the misfire of Iron Fist, and at its best it is a blast. "Both their heroic vulnerabilities and the franchise's weaknesses are superseded by the collective and the joy of watching a super-sensed, ultra-strong, bulletproof, luminous fist-wielding foursome smash soulless corporate henchmen into smithereens," writes Sophie Gilbert for The Atlantic.

I was allergic to the sun for 12 years. My neck, shoulders and chest were particularly affected. Even after only a few minutes' exposure to the sun, wheals and swellings appeared, which were painful and itchy. Even a special, very expensive sun protector was of little help. I just had to ensure that my clothing covered me completely.
In 1993 I was introduced to the teachings of Bruno Gröning because I was seeking help for my husband. A year later I went to Sicily on holiday. On the first evening there I suddenly realised that I had no allergic reactions, even though I had been all day in the sun without any special protection. This healing has persisted until today and I am wholeheartedly thankful for it.
Every time I returned to my homeland, Mauritius, I had an allergic reaction to the sun. This manifested as redness and oozing pustules. Sun lotion with a high protection factor and medically prescribed ointments did not help. This condition only improved after 14 days when my skin had become accustomed to the sun.
A year after my introduction to the teachings of Bruno Gröning I went to Mauritius. Although the temperature was 40 degrees Centigrade I had no reaction. Three years later it was the same. I have been healed since joining the community.


Framing the problem is essential to creating the correct solution. All of my research, analysis, and design is done in the context of the business, technology and user.
Analysis: How do we frame the analysis?
Many companies that build enterprise applications add a lot of features to their product. As the number of features increases the complexity and friction increases. Part of the challenge of designing for these systems is that companies do not desire to remove the features because clients are using or asking for them. However, clients also want their system to be as simple as a mobile phone app. This requires a practical approach to designing new features into the system.
I have 20 years of experience working with organizations to design and simplify highly complex systems. With these four ideas in mind, I am able to guide the product team to elegant solutions.
Results The project was completed and the client rolled the product out to 4500 users and replaced an old system. There was no training and minimal service calls. This project in the news.
Design a enterprise performance support system to improve customer service and company profitability for a highly distributed and autonomous franchise company. Design an electronic system to replace a partial electronic and manual paper process. Most of the people using the system were not computer literate and their primary job is to care for terminally ill patients.
Research User research and design was done using participatory design. To enhance the information gathering and to get clarification during the design process, company experts in each role were included in the process. Many techniques were used to gather information including, interviews, observation, using the existing computer system and reviewing training and documentation. Individual experts in each of the roles were recruited and learned how to do research, analysis and design.
Analysis After providing a vision and architecture for the project, analysis and design were performed in short cycles for each task and screen flow. Subject matter experts in each role provided input into the business processes, system processes in place, and functional requirements. Alternatives were brainstormed and the design was driven with input from the experts along the way. Paper prototypes were used to vet the design in the field.

Career

Early career
After impressing for the under-eights team of local side Honley Junior Football Club, Lindley joined the youth setup at Blackburn Rovers in October 2008. Soon after, he also began training with Manchester City's academy at a site in Bradford. Lindley was also approached by Leeds United but did not join them. Lindley remained with City until July 2019, when he departed to join Aston Villa.

Aston Villa
On 8 January 2021, Lindley made his first team debut for Aston Villa as a substitute in a FA Cup third round tie against Liverpool, after Villa had been forced to name a team of inexperienced academy players following a large amount of positive COVID-19 tests affected the first team.

On 24 May 2021, Lindley was part of the Aston Villa U18s team that won the FA Youth Cup, beating Liverpool U18s 2–1 in the final.

On 7 July 2021, he was one of several young players who signed a new contract with Aston Villa. Lindley again appeared for the first team on 24 August 2021 in Villa's away EFL Cup victory at Barrow, coming off the bench in the second half as a substitute for Frédéric Guilbert.

On 1 September 2022, Lindley joined Newport County on loan for the remainder of the 2022-23 season. He made his debut for Newport on the 13 September 2022 as a second half substitute in a 1–0 League Two defeat to Stevenage. On 29 December 2022, it was announced that Lindley would return to Villa on 1 January, after only making 5 league appearances for Newport in the first half of the season.

Cameby Downs Mine, which is currently operating at ML 50233, is owned by Yancoal Australia Ltd which acquired Syntech Resources Pty Ltd (which was in turn previously owned by Goldman Sachs) in 2011, and with it, the mine (Yancoal, n.d.). The Cameby Downs Expansion Project was developed prior to Yancoal's ownership of the mine and although expansion (Stage 2) to the open‑cut mining is still planned, it has been reduced from the original plan by Syntech Resources (Queensland Government EHP, 2013b). Timing is uncertain because of delays to upgrade of facilities and infrastructure including development of stage two of the Wiggins Island Coal terminal and the Surat Basin railway, on which the expansion project relied (Yancoal, n.d.). The mine's water requirements for the life of the project (around 40 years) will be 8,000 to 10,000 ML a year for coal washing, coal dust suppression and production of potable water, it is intended that CSG co-produced water from nearby operations will be sourced for these purposes (Queensland Government EHP, 2010, p. 3).
The original expansion plan proposed that life of mine would be increased by up to 40 years. The revised Cameby Downs Expansion Project is reduced and although revised life of mine is not reported, the expansion may not currently apply to leases 50261 to 50268 (Queensland Government EHP, 2013b). The expansion is expected to increase annual production to 14 Mt ROM coal although this will depend on sufficient port and rail capacity via Brisbane or Gladstone using new rail links yet to be constructed. Until that time, mining is expected to proceed at a rate of up to 3 Mt/year of coal transported by rail to the Port of Brisbane for export (Queensland Government EHP, 2013b).
The EIS was due for submission to the Queensland Government on 31 March 2014 and was intended to be provided for public review (Queensland Government EHP, 2013b). An EIS was not presented to the Queensland Government by the required date and as a result the final terms of reference for the EIS have ceased to have effect (Queensland Government EHP, 2014). Should the proponent wish to continue with the EIS process further requirements must be complied with before an EIS can be submitted (Queensland Government EHP, 2014).
The project proposal includes open-cut mining of the Cameby Downs coal lease and adjoining leases for processing at the Cameby Downs coal handling and preparation plant, out-of-pit spoil dumps and in-pit spoil disposal of waste rock. The proposal also includes a rail loading facility at Cameby Downs Mine to allow transportation of coal to the Port of Gladstone in the longer term, depending on new rail infrastructure.

What is a prototype?
A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what's been accomplished so far and what's left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:
Explorations that test ideas and functionality.
Functional Prototype
Demonstrates the functionality of the final product, but looks different.
Appearance Prototype
Looks like the final product, but is not functional.
Design Prototype
Appearance and function match the final product, but is made with different manufacturing methods.
Production Prototype
Appearance, function, and manufacturing methods match the final product.
Prototype Gallery
These photos and videos provide a detailed look at this project's development.
Tehuané is a creative studio dedicated to create lamps through the collaboration with artisans from different parts of México that work across different disciplines and techniques. The purpose is not only to produce contemporary lamps but to create bonds and connections with the artisans and elevate their work.
Spanish version: [¿Prefieres leer en español? ¡Haga clic aquí!]
Founded by us, Csar and Emilia. We're a designer duo from México putting our skills and efforts to start this project. I, Csar, am a Product Designer attracted by lighting, and Emilia is a Graphic Designer and visual artist, and of course Viktor Skoglund which is an adventurer photographer that is a big part of the team. As creatives, we'd like to shed more light to this beautiful side of the Mexican culture.
After spending some time in China I was surprised and amazed by the value bestowed upon Chinese crafts like porcelain, which led me to question myself about the value we give to our crafts in my native country. México has an immense diversity of artisanal techniques, some of which date back to pre-hispanic times. From clay and copper work, to alebrijes and glass blowing, every region of our country has its iconic technique and craft. But most of them are undervalued and are even starting to disappear.
The name of our project comes from the Náhuatl voice "Te Huan Né", which means "you and I", evoking the idea of exchange and dialogue, between us, as designers and the artisans, aiming to explore the limits between art and craft. Combining the knowledge and mastery of technique with a fresh and contemporary perspective.
Our work method is horizontal. What does this mean? That we work hand in hand with the artisans with the purpose of involving them in the creative process and inspire them to cross the boundaries between art and craft and perhaps set aside the work based on replicas and redirect their focus on creating new and authentic pieces.
Each Luminary we create will be the result of a collaboration with an artisan. Each collaboration has the length of a month, a month where we spend time with them, getting to know them, work with them, and create with them.
Most of the times, one month is not enough to get a product done, but it's good enough to get to know the collaborator and the specific and particular way he or she works and understand their relationships with the technique and materials they use. The result of the process will be pieces inspired by life, context, and even the feeling and emotion artisans put into their work.
Also, one month is enough time to create a bond of respect and friendship, which allows working closely on details and opens the possibilities for future collaborations.
We've already worked on three collaborations:
PITAHAYA
For the first one, in Oaxaca, we collaborated with Bertha Zárate Blanco whose families have worked with pottery for many, many generations in a place called Atzompa.
Santa Maria Atzompa is located 15 minutes north from Oaxaca. It's a small town known for being a pottery community since Monte Alban times, around 500 B.C.
Contemporary Atzompa is still dedicated to pottery and it's even the base of its economy. From the population of 20 000, 90% of its inhabitants are dedicated to this kind of work. In this town, the workshops are also people's homes.
Poverty is a common issue. Education is usually not an option as young people become part of the workforce, contributing to the household and the pottery workshops.
Fortunately, working with clay becomes a passion easily. Both of the workshops we collaborated with had around 10 people working in them, but even though it's a family business, each and every one of them had their own personal and unique style.
Pitahaya came from a conversation with Berthas Family, I came to their workshop at 9 am, when I arrived they were having breakfast and invited me in. They told me a story about regional plants and what represents to them. Eligio, Bertha's brother talked about the beautiful way pitahaya bloom. I got inspired, and told them if they wanted to express that bloom in the piece we will be working on, all 12 family members loved the idea, and said SI!
The Pitahaya set consists of three different pieces which function as a family, the same way the Zarate family does, express the movement in the blooming of a Dragon Fruit flower. A bloom that could as well be from a different planet. The organic lines along with the color and texture of this type of clay will give a subtle and warm lighting to any space or environment.
The second collaboration took place in Mesillas, Sinaloa, an area known for its fine woodwork. But this area is also known for drug dealing and drug-related violence. We had to be careful when knocking doors around town because of the rumors. One week after we went there for the first time, we met someone who talked about a talented woodcarver known as "El Chacuco".
In this collaboration, things worked in a different way. When we first talked to Chacuco, he insisted we showed him a blueprint of what we wanted to make to start working from there. This is the way most artisans are used to work with designers. He questioned our process but was open to the idea of creating something different. We liked his enthusiasm and adapted to the way he wanted to collaborate.
The idea was to make an ambient lighting composition that plays with the balance between the interaction of the material and elements in a contemporary way. When we shared the idea with him, he was excited and remained that way throughout the process. With him, we created a fun but respectful bond, and admiration keeps growing from both sides.
Chacuco has been working with wood for over 30 years. He's sought after the big brands for his carving skills but in all of these years of work he had never questioned the process. "After 30 years of working with wood, making furniture, carving it, I never thought a piece could have an idea or a concept behind it…", he told us.
If you want to see more of the interview
TONAL'LAN
We just wrapped the third collaboration. This time working with blown glass in Tonalá, Jalisco, with two artisans: Sam and Willy.
During our exploration of the town, we stumbled upon a small museum that displays a bit of the history of the town. The museum's director referred us to Sam, and as soon as we stepped foot into his workshop we knew this was the place. Sam, along with his brother Willy, come from a family who has worked with this particular technique for generations. Their grandfather was part of one of the first workshops to set up in this area. Glass runs through their veins.
The history of glass is fascinating, dating all the way back to the year 2000 B.C. in Mesopotamia, and then became a proper profession in the Roman Empire around 30 B.C. But blown glass came to Jalisco until early 1900's. Tonalá was widely known for its production of glass but it's now experiencing a decline, as the crafts created there are now usually massively produced by factories that operate with over 100 people, and also, by manufacturers in China.
Sam and Willy are one of the few glass workshops that work with a small team and was exactly what we were aiming for. This particular workshop has a very special vibe to it. It's a very friendly space amidst concrete and crazy traffic. Many of the members of Sam and Willy's team are young guys seeking to learn the trade. Working with blown glass is a very dynamic and precise endeavor. Creating a single piece requires the effort of groups of two or three people, synchronized in what almost seems as an elaborate choreography.
Tonalá comes from the Nahuatl word Tonal'lan which means "place where the sun rises". This was the idea from where the Tonálan lamp took off. How could we create something that expresses the sun rising from the horizon? Or even, how does the sun appear after an eclipse? The result is a contemporary art piece, that plays with the reflection of light on the different layers of glass. We decided to make this piece partly customizable too, pairing it with a LIFX lightbulb that allows you to control the hue, tone, intensity and even timing of the light.
Want to see the whole interview?
We celebrate the artisanal process and the magic implied in every hand-made craft. Every piece that's born from these collaborations is unique, and only a series of 100 will be produced. But, an artisanal process provides them with matchless textures, characteristics and details. From the 100 pieces, not one will be identical to another.
Each one of the 100 pieces will be signed by the artisan and numbered as what it is - a piece of contemporary art.
Why does this project have value? Through this project, we have two main intentions: to help create new demand and diffusion for these traditional techniques, some of which are disappearing; but also, give them a twist by using a different approach to them. Especially by motivating artisans to experiment across the line between art and craft, working hand in hand with them through a fresh method. Not only for this particular project, but in their future personal work as well.
Shipping is a tricky subject in crowd funding. We did what we thought was the best possible option, for everyone. Including a big bite in our earnings for providing free shipping service.
But this isn't about the earnings, we are thrilled to have a possibility of being able of living by getting into different contexts and designing with new people, connections made by the appreciation of a technique.
Through these months in which we've worked in the development of Tehuané, we've recieved the help and support from incredible people, creatives, friends and relatives. We want to give special thanks to:
Our parents and our families.
To our artisans: the Zárate Blanco family, Sam, Willy and their team. Chacuco and his family. To Laura Noriega, Regina Pozo, Gonzalo y Laura, Adán Paredes; to Emanuel Bernal, Gina Labrador, Andrea Trimis, Daniela Reyes, the Atenea family; Sofi, Agustín and Pacha, to Ileana, Alba, Elias, Fredrik, Jakob, Anton, Josefine, and everyone who has accompanied us in these months of long hours and hard work; and everyone who has shared their feedback with us.
And also, to Hilario Martínez and his family for their support in our first collaborations. Hilario was invited to be a part of an exhibition in Monte Albán, a great honor in the pottery world, so our collaboration was paused. We are certain that we will create something amazing together in the future.
At the beginning of 2018, I decided to quit my job and go to Oaxaca following a hunch. Just as an exercise, no relatives, no connections, just following my gut.
Upon three days of my arrival, I was already collaborating with an artisan and realised this is how I wanted to live: being inspired and inspiring artisans. So I put all my effort and savings into this project.
Today, after almost a year later, and with all of those savings gone, I'm more sure than ever.
We believe the richness of the Mexican culture is a great starting point. There are 122 different types of crafts in México, so the possibilities of creation are huge. After many months working on Tehuané, it's clear we need your help to go on and kick this project off the ground, that's why we created this Kickstarter Campaign.
We need your help to continue this journey of learning, teaching and creating with different Artisans and techniques. We want to continue supporting artisanal communities in an economical way but also in a creative way, allowing their life quality to improve and their personal work to grow and expand into new horizons.
The prices of the luminaries are based on the criteria of the artisans. We ask them how much their effort costs, no bargain, they know their material and we accept their own judgment on the pricing.
One of our biggest challenges is that our Luminaries become social design, what does this mean? This means that the designs generated in the collaborations might get replicated by other artisans, who we haven't collaborated with yet. Instead of preventing other artisans to replicate and steal our designs, we will continue our collaborations with our artisans and give them tools so they can be one step ahead and armed with new ideas to create impact.
Also, since the nature of some of the pieces and rewards in this Kickstarter campaign are fragile, we'd like to assure you we will do everything we can to ensure the pieces make their journey to your homes and personal spaces packed carefully and safely so they arrive in a perfect condition. In case of any eventuality, we are ready to respond with a refund or replacement.
Shipping is a tricky subject in crowdfunding. We did what we thought was the best possible option, for everyone. Including a big bite in our earnings for providing free shipping service. But this isn't about the earnings, we are thrilled to have a possibility of being able of living by getting into different contexts and designing with new people, connections made by the appreciation of a technique.
