Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy" (Robert Tew). Learning to let go is not always easy, but it can be one of the most important things that you do for yourself. Some relationships, behaviors, and emotions are just not worth all the aggravation and despair. Anything that causes that much anguish affects your mind, body, and spirit and can place you in a dark tunnel going nowhere.
Do you have any habits that no longer serve you and that are holding you back from becoming the best person you can possibly be? Are you holding back on your fullest potential? Do you experience erratic emotions of anger or sadness that keep you in a vicious cycle of chaos and stress?
A healthy mental and emotional state are two of the most important reasons to learn to respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy. It's not easy, for sure, especially if you have lived through a lot of trauma such as child abuse. You may have learned a pattern, which at one time served you well to survive the events, but are these patterns serving you today? Many of us that lived through chronic childhood trauma or domestic violence placed our dreams, ambitions, creativity and our identity aside to survive. We stopped thinking about what we could do and who we could be. Now that we are out of danger, however, are we still in the survival mode?
If you have lived through a lot of trauma, your self-worth may be extremely low, and you may need to do some work on this before you move out of the survival mode. I just want to say, don't give up and don't give in to anything that no longer serves you and grows you. Sometimes, when the work to change things becomes difficult, we begin to think that it is not possible to move past our current situation, but I am here to tell you that you can! Mental and emotional wellness begins with you, but you need to stay consistent in your personal growth and and development. It is possible to move past anything, including an abusive relationship or the memories of an abusive childhood and uncover true happiness.

Johnny contacted me a few weeks ago and asked me if I felt like doing a new one for him and I of course said "Hell, yeah!". He gave me a rough outline of what he was looking for. As always it needed to be an 11 or more on the "badass scale" and I was very happy to oblige.
We went through several different variations. At one point we thought a biker style patch might be fun before we changed direction and ended up with riveted and bolted metal. A very fun project and I can't wait to wear one of these myself.

Welcome to my latest Fall 2018 newsletter with a glimpse of what I am currently working on and recently completed projects.
It has been quite a while since my last newsletter. I have been so deeply involved in various projects that I simply did not get around to writing and putting one together for you. I always love to be very busy and active, but it is now really high time to give you a brief update on my recent artwork and activities, so it is with great pleasure that I present to you this October 2018 edition of the Ian Marsden Illustration Newsletter.
Below a selection of sample artwork and highlights from recent projects.
I was delighted and honored that I received a shoutout in the recent "Inside Google" Blog post celebrating 20 years of Google and the history of the Google Doodles. From 1999 to the end of 2000 I was the artist creating all Google Doodles. It is very nice to be remembered in this way.
Many thanks to Google and to Ryan Germick the Principal Doodle Design director.
Some really exciting news: I have signed a book deal with Schiffer Books for my first graphic novel and my first book in the U.S. market. It is for the graphic novel adaptation of "The Way I Was" the adult memoir of the late Broadway and Hollywood composer Marvin Hamlisch. The publication date for the graphic novel is spring 2020.
I had the great pleasure of adapting a series of texts about the harvesting and production phases of their high-quality vital mushroom products for Hawlik Gesundheitsprodukte GmbH and transforming them into short videos with elegant watercolor illustrations and pleasing voice overs.
I was involved from the initial conceptual sketching phase and storyboard, then personally illustrated each scene and added light, unobtrusive animation and finally I produced a series of 6 different videos in 3 languages (English, German, French) for which I also supervised the recording of the voiceover in person in studios in Paris and Berlin.
The German voice was recorded in Berlin with the renowned actor Kaspar Eichel (German synchronization voice of Robert Redford, Richard Dreyfuss) at Livelive studio (in cooperation with the agency Sprecherdatei), the French voice was recorded in Paris with the Actor Daniel Beretta (French synchronization voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger and many others) in collaboration with Titrafilm, the English voiceover was provided by David A. Watson and the agency GreatBritishVoices.
Having these videos available as a marketing tool for their website but also for trade shows and for their sales department is an invaluable asset. Highly complex processes and details of the production can be relayed to clients and buyers quickly and in a pleasant format in various markets/languages 24/7.
It was a lot of fun working on this rather extensive project and I am delighted that the client was very happy with the result and customer reactions have been extremely positive.
I am delighted to announce that I am collaborating on an ongoing series of training videos for the Johner Institut GmbH in Konstanz, Germany for their e-learning platform. I myself am providing the English language voice and I am also the spokesperson. The collaboration has been highly stimulating and creative and it is a true pleasure to work with Prof. Dr. Christian Johner on his videos for the Johner Institute teaching platform. More details on this project perhaps in a future update.

As part of the usual illustration services I provide, it has been my great pleasure over the past months to work with various agencies and companies / corporations, many of which are regular clients, on their needs for high quality, clear and appealing business graphics and illustrations for their external or internal communication needs. Here a few recent examples.
I am continuing the relatively new avenue of my career of wine logo and wine label designer and artist. My most recent design is a fun logo and label illustration for 'Domaine Les Tuileries' Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. I like it a lot personally even though I dialed the "French" button up to 11, evidently.
I got a lovely mention in an article in the French press / Midi Libre. Thank you very much.
The local Mayor's office in the village where I live asked me if I would design the Mayor's New Year's card. I was of course honored to come up with a personalized card and drawing for this purpose.
Thank you very much for taking the time to browse through my newsletter. Unless we speak directly beforehand, my next e-mail to you will be my traditional Holiday / End of the year greeting.
I hope you have a wonderful fall season.

I will share some of the images in my blog and my social media as well.
In 2012 I had the distinct honor of being asked by the legendary New York Friar's Club, to create a cartoon character version of the club's signature monk and a series of cartoons and animations for the official Friar's Club website.
The briefing required animations and graphics featuring the monk in all kinds of different situations and poses to be placed on the homepage and also some special custom monks featuring caricatured faces of recognizable "brothers".
Even the furniture such as the wooden bar and the pool table at which the Jackie Gleason monk is playing had to be recognizable.
As a previous member of the National Cartoonists Society, I had the pleasure of attending several Christmas brunches at the Los Angeles branch of the club, so it was a particular pleasure to be able to contribute to the Friar's cause.

It was on December 2nd, 1998 (almost 20 years ago!) that I started my first website "Marsdencartoons.com".
It evolved over many iterations, and later for several years it also hosted the Marsdencartoons Cartoonist's Directory which was a popular resource to find links to illustrators and cartoonists all over the world.
Such as my personal sketchbook, the first Google Doodles which were created by me, Advertising and Business Illustration, Custom Whiteboard Videos and Explainer Videos design and production, Editorial Illustration, Comics, Logos, Character Design and Mascot Design, Ritzenhoff Designs, Children's Book Illustration, Wacom Tutorial Videos by Ian Marsden, Packaging Design and some of the album covers I created for La Toya Jackson and Ja-Tail Enterprises LLC.
For a few years it autoforwarded to my new domain, but a few months ago I let the old marsdencartoons.com domain name expire. A fresh new start.
It appears that another company has purchased the domain name marsdencartoons.com and is now putting up a website for Illustration and Graphics.
This is of course perfectly fine and quite normal I guess by Internet standards, although it would be interesting to know who the "Marsden" is who is featured in their domain name. Because one thing I can tell you is that it is NOT me.
For the record, I wanted to state categorically: that I, Ian David Marsden, am no longer the owner of the domain marsdencartoons.com, I am in no way involved in their enterprise, and am not affiliated anymore in any way with marsdencartoons.com. Any transactions with this domain will not include any involvement with me and you will not be purchasing artwork created by me.
Thank you for your continued interest in my artwork and more from my studio very soon.

créateur du logo de l'IBD 2017* qui se tiendra à Nice du 4 au 8 octobre 2017.
* L'IBD (International Board of Directors) est la réunion annuelle de la direction de Mensa international (cinq représentants élus) et des Présidents des 31 Mensa nationales. Il s'agit d'une réunion de travail de quatre jours durant lesquels les grandes orientations futures de Mensa sont discutées et votées. C'est également l'occasion d'un grand rassemblement de tous les Mensans du monde entier qui souhaitent s'associer à l'événement à travers un programme parallèle d'activités et la rencontre des "délégués" lors d'événements prestigieux comme la soirée de lancement de l'événement (ice breaker), le diner de gala, ou la soirée de clôture (Helsinky party).
Le choix du logo de l'IBD 2017 s'est fait sur concours que tu as gagné. Quelle a été ta réaction ?
J'ai été très heureux et très agréablement surpris pour être honnête. Surpris, parce que même si je suis un professionnel chevronné, le logo que je proposais était un peu insouciant et même humoristique. Par expérience, je savais que ce genre de logo n'était pas d'emblée choisi pour des événements plutôt « sérieux » comme l'IBD. Et puis, il y a une petite histoire drôle : dans le croquis initial, le petit bonhomme tenait un verre de vin rouge dans sa main gauche. Cela a finalement été retiré afin de ne pas offenser les visiteurs étrangers ou les gens qui voient l'alcool comme une chose n'ayant pas sa place dans les affichages publics.
Tu es dessinateur, illustrateur humoristique et designer. Quel a été ton parcours ?
J'ai toujours dessiné même tout petit. Mes parents m'ont acheté du papier et des crayons et bien sûr aussi un tas de BD au lieu des ballons de football ou autres jouets qui pourraient paraître plus habituel sur une liste de souhaits de petit garçon. À l'école primaire, j'ai écrit et dessiné un petit journal que j'ai vendu pour augmenter mon argent de poche. À l'âge de 15 ans, j'ai commencé à envoyer des dessins de cartoons aux journaux et magazines, et à l'âge de 16 ans, plusieurs d'entre eux ont été acceptés et achetés par le Nebelspalter, une revue suisse satirique très renommée (le plus ancien journal satirique d'Europe qui compte plus de 115 ans de publication). J'ai travaillé comme dessinateur tout en suivant une formation de graphiste. À l'âge de 18 ans, j'avais mon propre atelier dans le vieux quartier de Zurich. Je publiais régulièrement des dessins dans les grands journaux et magazines suisses et j'ai même écrit et dessiné, avec mes propres personnages, un segment d'une émission pour enfants de la télévision suisse. Des illustrations publicitaires et des bandes dessinées imprimées sur des canettes de Coca Cola ont suivi. À l'âge de 21 ans, je suis retourné à New York, ma ville natale, pour essayer de vendre des dessins au New Yorker et au fameux Mad Magazine, les deux magazines qui publient tant de mes idoles de dessinateurs. J'ai effectivement atteint ces deux objectifs de vie, mais seulement 10 ans plus tard, alors que je vivais à Santa Monica, en Californie. À 30 ans, j'ai repris des études d'animation (traditional animation and computer animation – 2D et 3D) à la célèbre Académie of Entertainment Technology, Santa Monica College. J'y ai aussi suivi une formation assez avancée dans les graphiques numériques. C'était l'époque où les graphiques numériques commençaient à atteindre un niveau suffisamment intéressant pour faire évoluer l'industrie.
C'était en 1999 et 2000. Google était encore une entreprise en croissance et personne ne savait qu'elle deviendrait le colosse qu'elle est aujourd'hui. Google m'a contacté sur la recommandation d'un collègue qui m'avait proposé comme candidat intéressant. Ils ont aimé mes échantillons et c'était parti. On a commencé avec le gag d'un poisson d'avril. Puis j'ai fait toute une série de dessins pendant un an et demi. Celui qui a été vraiment un grand succès et dont les gens se souviennent, c'est le petit kangourou de ma création qui faisait du sport autour du logo Google chaque jour pendant les Jeux olympiques d'été de Sydney en l'an 2000.
À cette époque, Google était tellement satisfait de mon travail et de mes idées qu'ils m'ont offert de venir travailler pour eux en tant que principal google designer. Pour cela, je devais déménager de Santa Monica à la Silicon Valley. Mais, je venais de commencer mes études d'animation à l'AET, j'avais une fille de 2 ans et la seconde en route et j'ai pensé qu'il était plus sûr de poursuivre ma carrière de dessinateur et d'illustrateur dans l'édition et les dessins animés de la télévision et du cinéma à Los Angeles. De plus, j'aimais vraiment beaucoup notre appartement situé à quelques centaines de mètres de la mer, nos promenades au pied de Santa Monica et sur la plage de Venice Beach. Je ne me voyais pas du tout dans la Silicone Valley en poste salarié dans une entreprise tech. J'avoue que je n'avais pas tout à fait vu ou compris le potentiel qu'il y avait à travailler pour un moteur de recherche sur Internet. Une décision qui probablement m'a coûté quelques dizaines de millions de dollars. On ne sait pas. Être Mensan ne veut pas dire qu'on ne peut pas être con aussi ! Mais je ne regrette rien et j'ai fait beaucoup d'autres choses amusantes et intéressantes après. Mais sans les dizaines de millions cependant !
Tu travailles en libéral ?
Un travail comme le mien n'existe pas vraiment sous le statut d'employé. Aussi, je travaille chez moi, dans un petit village entouré de vignes du sud de la France. Je fais mes propres heures, aucun patron ne regarde par-dessus mon épaule (je regarde mes propres épaules en fait !). J'ai la porte ouverte pour mes filles (maintenant il y en a trois, on a ajouté une petite qui est née à Montpellier.) C'est le bonheur, non ? Il est vrai que je ne sais pas encore sur quels projets je vais travailler dans trois mois ou dans un an, mais ça aussi c'est très excitant et rafraîchissant. Et j'ai pas mal de clients réguliers qui reviennent régulièrement pour m'embaucher. Ce n'est donc pas totalement kamikaze, ce que je fais !
Que conseillerais-tu aux personnes qui sont attirées par ce métier ?
Je leur conseillerais de ne pas perdre espoir, de ne jamais prendre un rejet à cœur et de rester fidèle à elles-mêmes. Essayer de vendre ses œuvres d'art peut donner l'impression de vendre un morceau de soi-même. Le rejet peut piquer doublement, car tout cela semble très personnel. Cela n'est jamais facile. Faites simplement votre truc.
Comment as-tu connu Mensa ?
À la fin des années 80 à New York, j'ai acheté un tas de livres de poche Mensa avec des quiz et autres énigmes (par Abby F. Salny, je crois). J'aimais les faire, ils semblaient logiques et la plupart du temps assez faciles. J'ai toujours aimé l'esprit des problèmes ludiques, les mystères de Sherlock Holmes et les romans policiers en général. En faisant des recherches, j'ai découvert où les gens de Mensa organisaient leur prochain test et je m'y suis inscrit. Je suis allé un samedi matin après une nuit très lourde et inattendue (une nuit blanche bien arrosée – j'avais 22 ans et j'étais célibataire à New York). De façon étonnante j'ai réussi le test malgré mon mal aux cheveux et voilà ! On y est toujours, 25 ans plus tard ! D'abord je suis entré à New York Mensa, puis à Mensa Suisse, puis à GLAAM (Greater Los Angeles Area Mensa) et finalement à Mensa France.
As-tu une dernière chose à dire ?
Merci de m'accorder cette interview et surtout merci d'avoir choisi mon logo pour l'IBD !
Et j'espère qu'on va se voir pour un apéritif à Nice !

Pier Toffoletti
Emerald Stare II
Golden Gaze
Lost In Your Eyes II
Straight Forward
Golden Stare
Pier Toffoletti is an artist in motion but his journeys, which take him to every corner of the globe, are not just intercontinental; they are also journeys through time. At the age of 12 he was given two books on Michelangelo and Cézanne and became fascinated with their work; this sparked a passion for history of art, from the Renaissance masters to Italian post war abstract artist Afro Basaldella. 'I have always been attracted to the great masters who broke apart the figure to bring out the emotionality of sign and color — emotion at its purest. I feel rooted in the Renaissance, and heir to the great classical authors. My work is an attempt to put my two souls — the figurative and the informal one, in communication."
The intensity and magic of Pier Toffoletti's painting arises from the conflict between vision and abstraction which leads him to work on two levels. The first focuses on ordered chaos and beauty represented by the purity and sincerity of a female face. The drama begins when he creates this figurative ideal within an abstract framework which cannot hold it, and the figurative work emerges to overcome the chaos. The face becomes a symbol for the essence of our humanity, says Pier Toffoletti, "nature stripped of all prejudice or disguise."
As they emerge, the clear-eyed women in Pier Toffoletti's arresting portraits gaze out through a mass of disarranged brushstrokes formed from paints mixed with powdered marble dust, clay or sand. The classical beauty of these female subjects, the natural textures and the medium used in the creative process make them powerful symbols of both feminine beauty and nature itself; alongside this they are dominated by subtle gradations of black and white tones overlaid with luminous veils of colour which bring an understated yet intense element of modernity to the execution.
Pier Toffoletti was born in 1957 in the Italian province of Udine, and from an early age showed sign of following in the footsteps of his artist grandfather. In 1976 he obtained his diploma as a master of applied arts and shortly afterwards opened his own creative design studio, painting only in his spare time In the early 1990s he made a series of trips to Central and South America and spending time in these spectacular areas of natural beauty changed his life; realising he has become too wrapped up in his work he took a step back from business and began to paint seriously. He launched his professional career as the 1990s drew to a close, exhibiting his works at the Institute of Italian Culture in Tokyo in 1999 and at Palazzo Zenobio in Venice in 2002.
In 2005 Pier Toffoletti held his first solo show at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Arezzo. This was a resounding success, and since then he has taken part in over 200 solo and collective events in museums, galleries and public institutions in Europe, the USA and Japan. His most recent exhibitions in 2021 were at the 17th Architecture Biennial in Venice as part of the "Senza terra- Pomerio" project, and a solo show in Portugal at the Centrum Sete Sois Sete Luas.
Original Works from Pier Toffoletti

I wrote this poem in 1972. At the time I don't think I knew how true it was.
a mirror of his past.
a mirror of it all.
A friend read this recently and told me of a professor friend of hers that said "it's the cracks in a person's mirror that makes them interesting". It made me think of how people and events have an influence in our lives. I guess each one has it's own little crack. This is my mirror cracks and all.
My father was everything a father should be. He was there every time I needed him. He was there for boy scouts, little league and for numerous other things. He was the strong silent type and that shows in me. It took me becoming an adult and watching him suffer through many illnesses for me to truly appreciate the person he was. He was a bigger influence on me than I knew. I didn't know until his funeral how much he influenced others. He was my hero and if I can be even half the person he was I will have been successful in my life.
I believe my biggest influences were women. My grandmother left many impressions on me that exist even today. I remember her asking me one day if I knew why people used profanity. Her explanation was they do it to make people listen to them and it works. People do listen but they don't hear what you say. They only hear the profanity. She was also the person that told me being honest was the most important thing you'll ever be in life. She told me it's more important how you feel about yourself than what others think. I've lived her advice and found she was right.
The preacher at the church my family went to was named Lea Joyner. She was the first woman ordained in the Methodist church in the country. She was an amazing person. Even though she knew of my problems with organized religion, she advised me when I asked and managed to not preach. I've never known a more giving person. I remember a story told by a member of the church. He arrived at the church one day and observed a person that he knew to be a local wino. He asked her how much she had given him and she answered twenty dollars. She explained that he had told her he needed to get his life together, get cleaned up and get a job. He responded that she should know he would probably go out and by more to drink. She said I know but what if this was the time he really would straighten out and I said no. This is the way she lived her life and the way it ended. She was murdered in 1985 by a young man that she was counseling. She is the one who most taught me that you couldn't judge someone by their appearance. She was the one I first heard say that we had no right to judge anyone else and should spend our time getting our own lives straight.
My mother and I had what I can only describe as a physic link. She knew what I was going to do before I did it. I remember grounding myself one time while I was in high school. One of the rules was I was not supposed to go out of town without informing my parents. I picked up my date and a friend of hers and her friend asked if I would take her to pick up her boyfriend. The place was about an hours drive away and we went straight there and back. No big deal or so I thought. When I walked through the door at home the first words out of my mother's mouth was "where have you been!". One thing I always knew was not to lie to my mother so I told her. She said OK now what is going to be your punishment? That's when I grounded myself from using the car except to go to school. To this day I have no idea how she knew. On the other hand when I began my rebellious, radical ways, civil rights stuff, anti war protest, hippie ways and that sort of things) she was the first to back me. She told me she may not agree with me but she would defend my right to my beliefs. She loved and defended the rights of all animals. She helped me see the beauty of the world.
There have been other influences. My grandfather was literally a cowboy when he was fifteen. Broke horses and everything. I always loved listening to his stories. My aunt's husband grew up on an Apache reservation. Listening to him I believe is a large part of my interest in Native American culture. Beginning in grammar school one of my best friends was Jewish. His father and mother met in the prison camps. Both lost all their families in the camps. Even though I know he didn't tell us the worst, his stories of the camps left a lasting impression on me. My first political influences were the Kennedys. I remember the day the President was killed. They were giving updates over the intercom at school. When they announced that he had died a kid next to me started to clap. If you have seen the movie Airplane and remember what the nun did you'll know what happened. Without thinking or looking I backhanded him and knocked him and his desk upside down. First and only time I was ever sent to the principal's office. Bobby Kennedy was running for President in 1968, the year I turned 21 and was able to vote, and I campaigned for him. It was an exciting time. He made probably my favorite quote of all time. "Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not." When he was killed something in me went with him.
There have been many more influences. Far too many to mention all of them. I believe in some way everyone we come in contact with influences us in some way. Sometimes that influence is good, sometimes not. It's what makes us who we are. I believe my cracks have been good ones. So if I have become a good person it because I have had many good influences in my life and I observed them, listened and absorbed all I could. I truly am a mirror of my past.

United States | Return fire
California's governor takes aim at Texas with a new gun law
Doubling down on a dubious legal manoeuvre
Jul 28th 2022 | Sacramento
Usually imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but not for Gavin Newsom, California's governor. On July 22nd he signed a law which copies Texas's sb 8, a controversial act that lets private citizens sue people involved in administering or abetting abortion. Mr Newsom's law lets private citizens sue people who are illegally involved with guns. Now Californians will be able to bring lawsuits against those who make, distribute and sell illegal assault weapons and gun parts that lack a serial number, as well as anyone who sells a firearm to someone under 21. Violators will have to pay $10,000 for each infraction, the exact penalty Texas specified.

"If they're going to open that door…to put women's lives at risk, I'll do it to save people's lives any day of the week," Mr Newsom told The Economist. He has run an advertisement in Texan newspapers trumpeting California's efforts to keep people safe from gun violence. It is a direct attack on Greg Abbott, Texas's governor, who has pushed restrictions on abortion while loosening those on gun sales. Mr Newsom's office likes to remind people that in recent years California has had a lower per-head death rate in mass shootings than many southern states with more permissive gun laws.
The Golden State's new "bounty-hunter" law is important for two reasons. First, it shows how Mr Newsom is trying to position himself as a leading progressive voice nationally. Guns are a winning issue among Democratic voters, who favour more controls. Mr Newsom is rumoured to be considering a run for president in 2024, although he denies it. "It's just not happening," he says. "She [Vice-President Kamala Harris] is my friend."
Second, California is pushing the envelope with gun rules, creating potential "showdowns" with the Supreme Court, says Ken Miller, of Claremont McKenna College. The "bounty hunter" construct empowers individuals, rather than the state, to sue. Mr Newsom reckons if the Supreme Court were to find California's law invalid, it would have to throw out the one in Texas, which is similarly structured. But after its recent decision to scrap the constitutional right to abortion, the court could rule against California's bounty-hunter law without restoring abortion access in Texas (where a near-blanket ban goes into effect on August 25th).
The laws also differ in their reach. Whereas Texas's bounty-hunter law quickly limited access to abortion, California's is "unlikely to have any significant impact", predicts Adam Winkler, of the University of California, Los Angeles. It is already in effect illegal to buy assault weapons or sell guns to under 21-year-olds in California, so the law is mostly symbolic.
Some worry about the consequences of copying a mechanism which even the press release for the Californian gun law describes as "wrongheaded". The American Civil Liberties Union argues that "replicating the reprehensible Texas model only serves to legitimise and promote it". It is concerned about a "dangerous legal precedent" for other states to enact bounty-hunting laws. ■

Driven by fear of the unknown, resistance also spills into the managerial level in the form of avoidance, or lack of accountability. There is an unwillingness in top management to assign accountability to project leaders, Copulsky says. It's what he calls the nobody syndrome. But CRM success depends on that accountability. "We have tended to find a high correlation between lack of success and lack of accountability," Copulsky adds.
The fact is, if accountability is not taken at the upper most managerial level, negligence there will only breed negligence among those who should be using the system, but aren't, making failure inevitable.

[dropcap]L[/dropcap]ast week it was all about my top 5 favourite foundations of 2017. Today, it's all about popping those cheekbones and slimming that jaw with bronzers and contours. Bronzer is something I'm extremely picky about. The right contouring shade takes me from looking like a potato to having actual cheekbones. I tried a stupid amount of products in 2017, and I'm rounding up my top pics for them all. Keep reading to find out my top 5 and why they made the cut!
My complexion: Light (MAC NC20-25) with neutral-yellow undertones.
My bronzer/contour prerequisites: Bronzers need to be neutral or even rosy toned to look good on me. Anything too golden makes me look jaundiced. Contouring powder can't be too taupe or it makes me look sallow.
Hourglass possibly makes the most gorgeous range of bronzers on the market in my opinion. With warm and cool tones, there is really something for everyone. I own two shades but haven't been able to put down Diffused Bronze Light since I bought it several months ago. It gives my cheeks a gorgeous sculpted look whilst not looking flat or sallow. I swear every time I wore this when I was pregnant someone commented how incredible it was that I hadn't gained any weight in my face… I totally had but this was working for me!
My favourite bronzer of all time for reliability and continuity. I've written about the formula, finish, undertone and longevity countless times. I will never, not have this in my collection.
When it comes to easy all in one option for contouring, bronzing and highlighting with a matte finish, this is IT. The formula is silky smooth and pigmented and doesn't cling or go patchy. When it comes to choosing something to take on travels, Smashbox is the way to go!
This is a cult classic and there's good reason; The tone of these are strictly meant for contouring (available in Light, Medium and Dark) and truly mimic natural shadow. The formula and texture is smooth and is pressed hard which means its hard to pick up too much product and give yourself taupe coloured zebra stripes.
The best part of this is the ability to choose your own shade and make your own little compact! Pair with a blush, highlighter or two shades of contouring in a warm and a cool for ultimate blending! I love this system to bits, you can read my review here.
What were your favourite bronzing and contouring products of the year?

"I NEVER WANTED TO BE A FOOTBALL PLAYER. I WANTED TO BE A POLICEMAN."
In 1985, at just 9 years old, Mario got his first try-out with the Ajax Youth Team, making the team after only two preliminary games.
Mario made his debut in the first team of Ajax on 14th August 1996, at the opening of the Amsterdam Arena against Italian club A.C. Milan. He was only 19 years old. That same year Mario won the "Best Young Player" trophy, and subsequently signed a 2-year contract with Ajax.
Mario was born in Amsterdam and is the 4th out of 5 children. He grew up with a single mother working 2 jobs in order to provide for her children. She'd rush home, make dinner and hurry to her 2nd job, very often forgetting to eat!
To this day, Mario is amazed at how his mother managed such a large family, and hectic work schedule.
Growing up, Mario was taught the value of "giving back." From an early age, he was determined to succeed in life in order to give back to his mother, family and friends, who had always been there for him. Mario thanks his mother, Diana, for the love and confidence she instilled in him, which has been instrumental to his past and current success.


In October 2015, WM ice technics, manufacturer of top-quality ice resurfacing machinery, presented their latest breakthrough: The WM Mammoth, a fully-electric ice resurfacing machine for standard ice rinks. And now, just three years on, the 100th WM Mammoth is leaving the production site of the South Tyrolean company. A success story beyond our wildest dreams. The WM Mammoth has won over clients in every corner of the world through, first and foremost, its efficiency and user-friendliness, along with its integrated edger, tilt-access engine compartment, quick-change system for rapid blade replacement and its fully-automated mode. The ice resurfacer features countless details that make work operations comfortable and safe. This has been confirmed not only by positive customer feedback, but also by type-testing carried out by Suva, Switzerland's independent certification association. In creating the WM Mammoth, WM ice technics have achieved a new milestone in innovative design. In November 2017, when we presented the first fully-automated WM Mammoth Auto Drive, the company took a step into the future: Through its positioning system, the Mammoth Auto Drive can fully resurface an ice rink, even without a driver.
WM ice technics is a market leader with resurfacing machinery. The company was founded in 1986 by machinist Willy Mulser and, despite its growth, it has remained a family company. Development, production and assembly all take place under one roof. WM ice technics are masters of innovation and, with their unceasing avant-garde developments, never fail to attract attention. The production range currently features four ice-resurfacing machines: The WM evo2 for ice ovals, the WM Mammoth and WM Mammoth Auto Drive for standard ice rinks, the WM Compact for small ice rinks and the WM Pinguino for mobile ice rinks.

Texas Man Accused Of Murder After Woman's Dismembered Body Found Stuffed In U-Haul Box, Police Say
Source: Houston Police Department; UNSPLASH
By:Aaron Rasmussen
May 7 2022, Published 8:28 a.m. ET
A man in Texas was arrested in connection to the slaying of a woman whose body was discovered stuffed inside a U-Haul cardboard box, authorities said.
On April 17, a resident at an apartment complex in Houston reported finding the bloody moving box in the parking lot and called police, KPRC-TV reported.
Firefighters responding to the scene located the box and discovered the dismembered body of Flor Aidee Vega inside, court records show.
According to the Medical Examiner's Office, Vega was wrapped in a fitted sheet and plastic, and she had suffered broken facial bones as well as cuts to her face and neck from what is believed to have been a machete or ax.
Vega's death was ruled a homicide caused by blunt force trauma.
Man ran over and killed victim in parking lot, now charged with murder, Las Vegas cops say
Unlicensed Las Vegas couple accused of selling illicit lip and Botox injections on social media
A Las Vegas woman was dropped off at the ER and left for dead. Video surveillance could help solve the cold case.
After the grisly discovery, investigators executed a search warrant at the home of Miguel Angel Moreno, 60, and found blood droplets in his apartment's kitchen, living room and bathroom as well as a mattress covered in biological material and wrapped in plastic and sheets similar in appearance to those found with Vega's body, police said.
Surveillance video recovered from near the scene allegedly shows Moreno using a dolly to transport the U-Haul box to the parking lot, according to detectives.
Moreno claimed his home was broken into and the intruder left the U-Haul box behind, KTRK-TV reported.
Police have not disclosed how or if Moreno and the victim knew each other.
Moreno was being held on $500,000 bond in connection to a tampering charge and a bond has not been set yet for the murder charge recently filed against him.

That said, the EISP (evil internet service provider) moniker shall remain. I just like the way it sounds, and given their response time to the outage, they definitely deserve the descriptor.
The Just for Openers convention starts in two weeks. And, both TC and I are flying out to see what openers (and corkscrews) can be had in San Antonio. I have been stockpiling tradebait for the meeting, and will continue to do so over the coming days. The latest find might be a little hard to part with; a nice pocket knife with corkscrew advertising American Brewing Co.
While the EISP (evil internet service provider) still hasn't gotten our phone or internet back up and running, the corkscrewing continues!
I am waiting for a confirmation of a deal for a nice French folding corkscrew–pictures later if the deal goes through–and I have added a Murphy page to the website. Not only does the page include pictures of some of the Murphys in the collection, it also includes the article Bob Nugent wrote 20 years ago on the company and their corkscrews.
If you need a little reading material, you may want to check it out; Murphy Corkscrews.
After being down a week last month, we are into our second day without internet or phone service at our house.
So, it is back to the library or ARC for free wireless. Fortunately, a few deals were made before the EISP went off line and destroyed our ability to communicate with the outside world.
News and updates if we are ever back up and running!
A couple of years ago, a fellow collector sent me a lovely Thomason III in return for selling part of his collection for him. It made my best 6 that year, and it is one of my favorite corkscrews. However, one Thomason III is simply not enough, and I keep trying to acquire another.
This morning, I was poised to snap another up, but apparently there were several others poised with more pounds in their pockets than I.
The Will & Finck corkscrew arrived. And, it is truly remarkable, the carving is done in such a way that the ivory looks like it was braided; a fantastic corkscrew!
Just before our trip to Costa Rica, we spent the night with our good friends Jim and Gina–they were part of the Costa Rican clan that spent the week sunning, drinking, fishing, and genuinely having a fabulous time.
She explained, that she saw this wine bottle with a corkscrew on it, and knew that it had to be mine. I was thrilled. It is a great addition to the corkscrew collection, and the growing Gina Poppe collection.
Tommy called yesterday, and I got to meet (over speakerphone) his significant other. Not that she is REALLY his significant other, but apparently these two are attached at the hip, and at her urging, they went antiquing yesterday. And, what should they find, but a signed Will & Finck ivory handled corkscrew with blade. It looks to be an awesome piece!
And, while Tommy found a great corkscrew, I made a HUGE find. Not that it is as rare as Tommy's W & F, but it is bigger.
Yes, I finally found another oversized bell corkscrew. My last one found its way into Milt Becker's collection–a Walker, with large bell. This one is a Williamson with the oversized bell assist. Not common, and if negotiations go as planned, this will be a nice addition to the corkscrew collection!
Hopefully, I will finally be able to open those 6 litre bottles of wine that are laying around!
More corkscrew (and beer advertising opener) news to follow in the coming days!
Just before we left for Costa Rica, a corkscrew was offered, and I did indeed make a fair offer for the corkscrew. Said corkscrew was then put on eBay, then taken off, as eBay frowns on people selling ivory. The corkscrew was relisted on eBay, and taken off again, as eBay REALLY frowns on people selling ivory.
The aforementioned corkscrew offer-er must have been thinking about my offer whilst having their eBay experience (twice). After a couple of emails, we agreed on a price, and the carved ivory Will & Finck corkscrew is now on its way to Vinalhaven.
I will post better photos when the corkscrew arrives, but this is definitely going to be a welcome addition to the collection.
Not many packages arrived while we were in Costa Rica, but there were a couple. And, I did manage to pick up a couple of corkscrews at a local antique store yesterday. Here are the latest arrivals/acquisitions!

'The Compleat Beatles': 10 Takeaways From Great, Overlooked Fab Four Doc
How George Harrison's mom nurtured her son's talent, what George Martin saw as the band's key song and more from the classic out-of-print 1982 film
Colin Fleming

How the Who's Half-Hour Live 'My Generation' Paved the Way for 'Tommy'
If you're looking for documentaries on the Beatles, you don't have a shortage of options, with two of the splashier offerings being, of course, the Anthology series, and Ron Howard's Eight Days a Week.
The latter is blessed with rich, high-quality, color footage of the years when the Beatles went global, a band as world-brightening rocket that would sometimes pause itself to blast out 30 minutes' worth of songs on a stage. The Anthology boasted amusing, fulsome commentary from the surviving Beatles, with John Lennon piped in from archival recordings. It was as close as you got to the four men sitting down for a repast, post-1970, and sharing what it had all been like.
Ron Howard's Beatles Doc 'Eight Days a Week': 10 Things We Learned
But one Beatles doc you might not know – and its cause has not been helped by not having an authorized DVD release yet – is 1982's The Compleat Beatles, written by David Silver, directed by Patrick Montgomery, and narrated by Malcolm McDowell, chief droog from Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Clocking in at two hours – and titled in the spirit of The Compleat Angler, England's definitive book on fishing, from 1653 – The Compleat Beatles tells the band's entire story, from pre-fame days, with checkpoints at each album, right up through the breakup. It's brimming with keen musical analysis, and a coterie of voices you normally don't get with a Beatles documentary.
For a long time, in the VHS era, it was a staple of high-school music teachers, starting 35 years ago in the summer and fall of '82. If you were lucky enough to have had the TV set wheeled in by a Beatles-mad instructor, you know this is a special film.
Here are 10 reasons to check out this overlooked masterwork of the Beatles' cinematic canon.
1. Writer David Silver had a pitch-perfect understanding of the Beatles' career arc – and importance in their time and beyond.
"Poets of a generation, heroes of an era," The Compleat Beatles begins, with Malcolm McDowell reciting Silver's lines with Shakespearean gravity. This is to be a proper assessment of a band that was so much more than a rock & roll collective, something we're made to feel immediately. "Like all poets and heroes, they reflected the spirt of their times." The early sequences in the film present footage of a bygone Liverpool, which looks pretty grim, as if nothing mercurial could emerge from this seaport. When the opening chords of the Beatles' cover of Chuck Berry's "Rock and Roll Music" kick in, the film itself seems to pop with possibility, as if infused with Beatle-esque spirit. There was nothing the band couldn't do, and now there will be nothing this movie can't do.
2. Gerry Marsden was an ace witness to what the Beatles were doing.
The leader of Gerry and the Pacemakers, perpetual Liverpudlian also-rans, Gerry Marsden was always broad-spirited when it came to talking about the band that so outpaced his own, but you don't get to hear him very much on film. Here he explains how the Liverpool acts were able to transform skiffle into something far grittier from what he terms the "ackky dacky" sounds of Lonnie Donegan. First he whips out a guitar to show how Donegan would play "Jambalaya," before remarking "we'd get the record and we'd rock it up a little bit," entering forth into a cool little demonstration. It's a great primer for how the Northern bands were able to develop their own sound from what was a reductive, chipper genre in skiffle.
3. Early manager Allan Williams was quite the character.
Williams liked his tall tales, and the Beatles basically screwed the guy over after he hooked them up with Hamburg and they jumped ship for Brian Epstein, but Williams clearly loved reminiscing about his relationship with the band, which would continue on for a while still. (And resurface later when the legality of the Hamburg Star Club tapes was in dispute.) He describes a letter from Howie Casey of Derry and the Seniors begging him not to send "that bum group the Beatles" over to Hamburg, for fear that this would mess up everyone else's good thing. Williams then goes on to (accurately) describe the style of then-drummer Pete Best as not very clever. Hardly a feeling-sparer, which is probably why the likes of John Lennon liked him – at least for a while.
4. George Harrison's mom deserves serious props.
The Compleat Beatles does an excellent job of synthesizing how the Beatles came together in their pre-fame years (complete with an image of John Lennon's report card decrying his "insolence"), with a clear, concise chronology, and valuable insight directed towards the subject of George Harrison and his mother. Most Beatles studies focus, in terms of maternal subjects, on Lennon and his mother, Julia, and Paul McCartney and his late mother, Mary, but Mrs. Harrison knew a thing or two about rocking out. "To his classmates, George Harrison was the boy whose father drove the bus they all rode to school," McDowell states. "His mother sat up with him night after night as he taught himself how to play Buddy Holly songs," with his inclusion in the Quarrymen assured because "his mother could tolerate their noisy rehearsals." Way to go, Mrs. H.
5. Reeperbahn mainstay Horst Fascher was one badass MF.
The Compleat Beatles makes commendable use of the underrated Star Club material to soundtrack several scenes, and it's a delight when self-professed Beatles protector Horst Fascher turns up on camera. He made sure that they didn't get in too much distress on their first Reeperbahn forays, or, as he puts it in the film, "If you are in trouble with some girls who are prostitutes, and you don't know the girls are prostitutes, and the pimps find out, you can get in a lot of trouble," which made Horst the guy to seek out to cure your ills and keep your ass intact, given that he was a former boxer who had been booted from competition for killing a sailor in a street fight. Ah, Hamburg.
6. The Litherland Town Hall show from December 27th, 1960, was the watershed gig of the Beatles' career.
The film also features a number of segments with Bill Harry, a friend of the band who was instrumental in spreading the good word about them in Liverpool – even before they deserved it – with his Mersey Beat magazine, which documented the comings and goings of life on the local beat scene. Harry gives the backstory for the gig that would change the Beatles' career. "They came back from Hamburg still as an unknown band," Harry remembers, but he promoted they hell out of them, "because they were close friends of mine." This got a promoter to book them at Litherland Town Hall, shortly following Christmas in 1960. Allan Williams was there, too. "The moment the Beatles struck up and did their stomping, every kid froze, and then they ran to the stage and started screaming." That would be the gist of a lot of what was to follow.
7. According to George Martin, "Yesterday" was the crucial pivot point for the band's sonic development.
Martin is eloquent throughout The Compleat Beatles: erudite, dapper, utterly sure of himself, being interviewed in a recording studio by his console, with no Beatles intruding with misremembered bits of info, something that dogged the Anthology. It's just Martin, holding a master class in what it was like from his end to work with these guys. "They always wanted to have new ideas and sounds coming through. I found that they were almost more inquisitive than I was. In fact, in the end, it kind of exhausted me. Sometimes they knew what they wanted to do, but more often than not, they didn't," coming across like Yoda both frustrated and blown away by the gifts of Luke Skywalker. Regarding "Yesterday": "It isn't really a Beatles song," Martin remembers saying to McCartney, then goes through how he made his pitch for the Beatles to forsake their standard drum-bass-guitar attack, which would become, through various methods, the mode of the future.
8. The doc features the coolest, trippiest, most cost-effective visual evocation of "Tomorrow Never Knows" ever filmed.
McDowell's narration intones that "Two of John's songs 'She Said She Said' and 'Tomorrow Never Knows' were the results of his recent experiments with drugs" – fair enough – as a quick tour of Revolver begins, but what follows is brilliant: Using only the cover of the album, director Montgomery, through a series of sweeps, pans and fast dissolves, gives us something of a visual acid trip, as "Tomorrow Never Knows" blasts from the soundtrack. Once you see the effect, it's hard to disgorge it from your mind each time going forward that you hear that mindblower of a track.
9. The band's final world tour was pure terror, and no film better evokes it.
With a collage of on-the-street interviews, footage from Beatles record burnings and people getting hurt at shows as frantic MCs plead for calm, The Compleat Beatles provides a strong sense of why touring had to stop for the band. As the footage unfurls, there's a low droning figure in the soundtrack, sort of like the protracted hum of the final chord on the Sgt. Pepper album stretched out for several minutes. We also get a self-righteous cop in Minneapolis who goes on at some length about how much he hates the Beatles: "As far as Beatle music, I could care about it not one bit personally … one of their group, with the British accent, told us they would never come back to Minneapolis, and I told him that would be too soon for me."
10. In Martin's view, the Beatles were fated to become huge.
George Martin has a lot of key lines regarding his four upstarts and their career. At one point he states, "Without Brian Epstein, the Beatles wouldn't have existed," by which he means that success would not have come to them and they would not be the galvanic entity we all know. But Martin is in downright Socratic mode, though, when he ventures towards a larger explanation for that success. "I think that the great thing about the Beatles was that they were of their time, their timing was right. They didn't choose it – someone chose it for them. But the timing was right, and they left their mark in history because of it."

A method of, and a mobile terminal configured for, efficiently displaying an event indication in the form of a pop-up box during idle mode of a mobile terminal is provided. Upon occurrence of a second event in idle mode, it is determined whether an event pop-up box indicating an occurrence of a first event of the same type as the second event exists. When the event pop-up box indicating the occurrence of the first event exists, the event pop-up box is updated with information indicating the occurrence of the second event and displayed on a display.
This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) of Korean Patent Application Nos. 2005-27726 and 2006-20898, filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Apr. 1, 2005, and Mar. 6, 2006, respectively, the entire disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates generally to a mobile terminal. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of, and a mobile terminal configured for more efficiently displaying indications of occurrences of various events generated in a mobile terminal in idle mode.
In recent years, the development of mobile communication technology has enabled mobile terminals to exchange a variety of messages beyond traditional phone calls, including Short Messaging Service (SMS) messages, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messages, and e-mail.
Also, mobile terminals can provide a Caller Identification (CID) service so that callers can be identified.
When a message event or a missed call occurs while the mobile terminal is in idle mode, an event indication indicating the occurrence of an event appears on a display until a user presses a predetermined key, such as an OK button.
According to the conventional event indication method, when two different message events occur successively, a conventional mobile terminal displays only an indication of occurrence of the latter event on the display, although the user has not checked the former event. For instance, when a call from 010-123-4567 is missed, the user is alerted of the missed call during idle mode of the mobile terminal, as illustrated in FIG. 1A. If an SMS message is received and the missed call still has not been checked, the mobile terminal substitutes an incoming SMS message indication for the missed call indication in the display, as illustrated in FIG 1B. One drawback with the conventional event indication method is that a user is not effectively notified when a plurality of incoming events occur. Since only an indication of the latest incoming event appears in the LCD window, at any given time the user does not know the number and types of incoming events that have occurred. Further, another drawback is that the user does not know the previous event until he checks the latest incoming event because only the latest incoming event is indicated.
An object of the present invention is to address at least the above problems and disadvantages and to provide at least the advantages below. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of, and a mobile terminal configured for, efficiently displaying indications of various events generated in a mobile terminal in idle mode.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of, and a mobile terminal configured for, upon occurrences of multiple events in idle mode, displaying indications of all the events on a display.
The above objects are achieved by providing a method of, and a mobile terminal configured for, efficiently displaying an event indication in the form of a pop-up box during idle mode of a mobile terminal. In the method, upon occurrence of a second event in idle mode, it is determined whether an event pop-up box indicating an occurrence of a first event of the same type as the second event exists. When the event pop-up box indicating the occurrence of the first event exists, the event pop-up box is updated with information indicating the occurrence of the second event and displayed on a display.
In the mobile terminal, if, upon occurrence of a second event in idle mode, the event pop-up box indicating occurrence of a first event of the same type as the second event, a controller updates the event pop-up box with information indicating the occurrence of the second event, and a display displays the updated event pop-up box under control of the controller.
FIGS. 6A to 6H illustrate a plurality of arranged pop-up boxes on the display in the mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
In reference to FIG. 2, the mobile terminal includes a controller 200, a Radio Frequency (RF) module 202, a Modulator-DEModulator (MODEM) 204, an audio processor 206, a keypad 208, a memory 210, a display 212, and a video processor 214.
The RF module 202 implements the radio communication functionality of the mobile terminal. The RF module 202 comprises an RF transmitter (not shown) for upconverting and amplifying a transmission signal and an RF receiver (not shown) for low-noise-amplifying and downconverting a received signal.
The MODEM 204 is provided with a transmitter for encoding and modulating the transmission signal and a receiver for demodulating and decoding the received signal.
The audio processor 206 converts an electrical signal received from a microphone to audio data, and demodulates coded audio data received from the RF module 202 and outputs the audio data through a speaker. The audio processor 206 preferably comprises a CODer and DECoder (CODEC) for converting a digital audio signal received from the RF module 202 to an analog signal or for converting an analog audio signal generated from the microphone to a digital audio signal. The CODEC refers to a data CODEC for processing packet data and an audio CODEC for processing an audio signal such as voice. The CODEC can be incorporated in the controller 200.
The memory 210 may comprise a program memory and a data memory. The memory 210 stores information needed for controlling the operation of the mobile terminal and information selected according to user selection information.
The display 212 can be configured with a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for displaying visual data generated in the mobile terminal. If the LCD is implemented in a touch screen fashion, the display 122 can operate as an input portion.
The display 212 displays various events in pop-up boxes in idle mode under the control of the controller 200. Users are notified of various events by corresponding event pop-up boxes as illustrated in FIGS. 6A to 6H. Each event pop-up box provides information about the latest event including event date and time.
The video processor 214 generates visual data by which to display a video signal. The video processor 214 processes video data received from a camera module (not shown) or memory 210 on a frame basis and outputs the frame video data according to the characteristics and size of the display 212.
The video processor 214 also includes a video CODEC (not shown) for compressing the frame video data in a predetermined method or decompressing the compressed frame video data to the original frame video data. The video CODEC can be, for example, a JPEG CODEC, an MPEG4 CODEC, a Wavelet CODEC, or any other type of CODEC.
The keypad 208 has alphanumerical keys for inputting numbers and characters and function keys for invoking functions. The user can select an event pop-up box to be activated using directional keys in the keypad 208.
The controller 200 provides overall control of the operation of the mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Upon generation of an event during idle mode, the controller 200 determines whether an event pop-up box showing information about the same type of an event as the generated event exists. If it exists, the controller 200 updates the event pop-up box with the information about the event. After the update, the controller 200 preferably increases the count indicating the total number of events in the event pop-up box by the number of events generated.
The controller 200 also directs the display 212 to display the updated event pop-up box. If a plurality of event pop-up boxes having event information exist on the display 212, the controller 200 controls the updated event pop-up box to be displayed with the highest priority.
The event can be, for example, a missed call, a voice mail event, an SMS event, an MMS message event, a schedule event, or a Digital Rights Management (DRM) event.
If the user has checked particular events in the displayed event pop-up box, the controller 200 deletes the information of the events from the event pop-up box and decreases the event count by the number of the deleted events.
If many event pop-up boxes are to be displayed on display 212, it is preferred that only a predetermined number of event pop-up boxes are displayed as indexes, while the other event pop-up boxes are displayed as tabs.
In the absence of an event pop-up box indicating the same type of event as the generated event, the controller 200 creates an event pop-up box to store the information of the event and shows information of the event in the event pop-up box.
FIG. 3 shows a flowchart illustrating an operation for displaying an event indication in the mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the mobile terminal is in idle mode in step S302 and the controller 200 determines whether an event has occurred during idle mode in step S304. The event can be, for example, a missed call, a voice mail event, an SMS event, an MMS message event, a schedule event, or a DRM event.
A missed call is an incoming call that was not answered normally, a voice mail event is reception of a voice message, an SMS event is reception of text of a predetermined size, an MMS message event is reception of a message capable of carrying a multimedia file, a schedule event is an alarm notifying the user of a registered schedule at a registered time, and a DRM event is reception of an authentication key for a copyrighted multimedia file.
Each event is processed by a corresponding task processor. The task processor is a software module for performing a corresponding fimction. Each task processor monitors generation of a corresponding event under the control of an Operating System (OS). Upon generation of an event, the task processor notifies the main processor of the controller 200 of the event occurrence. For example, upon generation of a missed call event, a call task processor notifies the main processor of the controller 200 of the missed call event occurrence. Each task processor and the main processor are activated in the controller 200. In the following exemplary embodiments, the controller 200 performs the operational algorithms of the task processors and the main processor.
On the occurrence of an event, that is, when a task processor reports generation of an event to the controller 200, the controller 200 determines whether an event pop-up box containing information about the same type of event as the event exists in step S306.
The event pop-up box is a display tool allocated according to event type. It is a display folder in concept. For example, when a plurality of missed call events are generated, the missed call events are indicated in a missed call event pop-up box. When a plurality of voice mail events occur, the voice mail events are indicated in a voice mail event pop-up box.
In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the following event pop-up boxes are representative of those that can be defined: a missed call event pop-up box for indicating missed calls, a voice mail event pop-up box for indicating reception of voice mails, an SMS event pop-up box for indicating reception of SMS messages, a multimedia message event pop-up box for indicating reception of multimedia messages, a schedule event pop-up box for alerting the user of scheduled events, and an authentication key event pop-up box for storing and displaying an authentication key.
Step S306 is performed to check whether the incoming event is of the same type as an event indicated by an existing event pop-up box displayed on the display 212. For example, if the user did not check the previous missed calls, the controller 200 displays a missed call event pop-up box 402 (FIG. 4A) on the display 212 to indicate missed calls. Upon generation of a schedule event in this state, the controller 200 determines whether a schedule event pop-up box exists on the display 212 to indicate the schedule event.
In the presence of a corresponding event pop-up box, the controller 200 updates the event pop-up box with information about the generated event in step S316.
After updating the event pop-up box, the controller 200 increases the count indicating the total number of events in the event pop-up box in step S318. The count indicates the total number of events that the user has not checked in the event pop-up box.
For instance, if the user has not checked three voice mails indicated in the voice mail pop-up box, the event count is 3. Upon generation of a new voice mail event with the three voice mail messages unchecked, the event count of the voice mail event pop-up box is increased to 4. The event information refers to the contents and the date and time of the event. A variety of additional information can also be included in the event information.
The controller 200 determines whether a plurality of event pop-up boxes indicating events exist on the display 212 in step S320.
If only the updated event pop-up box exists, the controller 200 displays it on the display 212 in step S322. Simultaneously, the controller 200 displays the information of the generated event and the event count as well on the display 212.
On the other hand, if a plurality of event pop-up boxes exist, the controller 200 displays the updated event pop-up box on the display 212 with the highest priority in step S324.
Here, the controller 200 displays the updated event pop-up box with the highest priority over the other event pop-up boxes.
For example, when a new schedule event 404 occurs with a pop-up box 402 indicating a missed call event displayed at index 1 on the display 212 (FIG. 4A), a schedule event pop-up box 406 is activated with priority to show information about the schedule event 404, as illustrated in FIG. 4B.
Similarly, when a new voice mail event 410 is generated in the state shown in FIG. 4B, a voice mail event pop-up box 412 is activated first on the display 212 during idle mode, as illustrated in FIG. 4C.
If many event pop-up boxes are to be displayed on the display 212, only a predetermined number of event pop-up boxes are displayed as indexes, as illustrated in FIGS. 6A to 6E, while the other event pop-up boxes are displayed as tabs. If a user wants to activate a particular event pop-up box, he selects it using the keypad 208.
For example, when the user selects a right directional key on the display 212 illustrated in FIG. 6A, the controller 200 activates the second event pop-up box as illustrated in FIG. 6B. When the user selects the right directional key again on the display 212, illustrated in FIG. 6B, the controller 200 activates the third event pop-up box, as illustrated in FIG. 6C.
When the user selects a left directional key on the display 212 illustrated in FIG. 6B, the controller 200 activates the previous event pop-up box, illustrated in FIG. 6A.
On the other hand, in the absence of the corresponding existing event pop-up box in step S306, an event pop-up box to indicate the event is generated in step S308. If the generated event is triggered by key input from the user, the controller 200 neglects this event.
In step S310, the controller 200 updates the event pop-up box with information about the event and sets the count to an initial value. Since the event is the first to be indicated in the event pop-up box, the count is set to 1. Additional events cause the controller 200 to increase the event count, step S312. It is preferred that the count is set to the number of generated events.
In step S314, the controller 200 displays the updated event pop-up box.
The controller 200 determines whether the user has checked the indicated event in step S326. If the user has not checked the event, the controller 200 displays all created event pop-up boxes to allow the user to view the events in an organized manner as illustrated in FIG. 4C, even though the mobile terminal is turned on again or the display 212 is activated again.
If the user has checked the event, the controller 200 deletes the checked event information from the event pop-up box in step S328. It can be noted that event deletion means deletion of the event indication from the event pop-up box, not complete deletion of the event information. The actual event information is stored in a predetermined area of the memory 210, and can be deleted completely from a corresponding event folder within the memory 210 using a separately configured menu.
The event pop-up box displayed during idle mode can be deleted from the display 212. When a predetermined command such as, for example, "EXIT" is selected with the event pop-up box activated as illustrated in FIG. 5A, the current event pop-up box disappears as illustrated in FIG. 5B.
After deleting the checked event information, the controller 200 decreases the count by the number of deleted event indications and displays the decreased count on the display 212 in step S330.
In accordance with various exemplary embodiments of the present invention as described above, since events are indicated in the form of pop-up boxes during idle mode of a mobile terminal, and a user can easily view the event indications. Also, the event pop-up box generation and deletion algorithm according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention leads to efficient event pop-up box management.
While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

"If they cared about their coal miners, they'd be giving them guaranteed pensions, 40 hour work weeks, wouldn't hire subcontractors who are paid $15 an hour to work underground without benefits. If they cared about miners, they would sign a contract with their workers guaranteeing their jobs so their miners can say, "That's unsafe, I'm not running that piece of equipment or going in that face until it's made safe" without having to worry about getting "let go" on down the road for something the company makes up, or for no reason at all under the right to work laws they lobbied for.
If they cared about their miners, when bad storms come through the area, they would shut the mines down just as soon as it began affecting the ability of an ambulance or med flight to get a miner to the hospital if they get seriously injured. Like they didn't do in Dickenson County December 18, 2009.
No, they like to show that they "support" their coal miners, but it's only show. Ask miners who get hurt in the mines why the company sends a safety officer to the hospital with them. Ask why they push to have the miner take a drug test before anything else, why they try to convince the doctor to use glue instead of stitches so they don't have to report a more serious accident to MSHA.
It's one thing to use and abuse their coal miners for their own benefit, but it's a wholly different thing to turn around and act like they give a damn about them when all the evidence points to what they care about most…profit. Nothing has changed in the last 100 years, only that coal companies have learned how to do some great media and public relations work and the people of Appalachia have become desperate enough to listen to it and clamber over one another for high wages and terrible long term benefits.
Over the past semester, I have been putting together a website as a final project for my Defining Appalachia class dealing with a contemporary Appalachian issues. Naturally, I went for something that is near and dear to my heart. Coal culture. I can't tell you how deeply saddened I am to see what our coal mining "heritage" has become. I've alluded to it before in previous posts such as "Present Day Coal Mining: Dishonoring Our Heritage", but having done this project, I find myself deeply depressed by what the coal industry has turned our heritage into.
Coal miners were some of the best people you could ever know. They were True Appalachians as I mentioned in the post. But what has become of them? What happened to those who cared so much for other people that they stood up and sacrificed their paychecks to do something right?
Coal mining used to be more than just producing coal-it was about fighting injustice in the face of the exploitative companies driven by first world greed. The lessons of justice came from our parents who fought back. I would not be who I am today if it wasn't for being raised in a union family, by parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins who all fought for justice and fair treatment when the nation and it's lust for cheap energy and steel threatened the kind and generous people of Appalachia.
Coal miners were more than just people who kept the lights on, they defended the rights of the working people. Now so many of them are fighting for themselves and only themselves to protect their jobs, they are listening and doing what the coal companies tell them to do, voting for who the companies tell them to vote for. Even the United Mine Workers leadership has been corrupted and does little to fight for the working people.
Today, I honor the miners who fought, who sacrificed, who shed their blood doing what was right for everyone, not just themselves. Today I honor the over 100,000 coal miners killed in this nation's mines, whose lives were needlessly ended in the unsafe and torturous rigors of a coal industry bent on higher profits, people whose sacrifices fulfilled the needs of a nation built on a lust for power, wealth, convenience, and comfort. Today I honor the families who nearly starved in the tent camps of Matewan, WV, and Ludlow, CO, people who seem to have been forgotten by most of today's coal miners. I honor the the many union families who suffered and gave so much to set the standards for today's "safer" working conditions and higher wages.
Today I honor to true miners of the world, not the pro-coal company coal miners who, by supporting the coal companies and coal politicians, prove their morals are no different than the wealthy people who are damning our future generations into continued poor health and poverty.
