Where can I find out more information about the Missing People charity?
Missing People is the only charity in the UK which specialises in, and is dedicated to, bringing missing children and adults back together with their families. For more information visit the charity's website at the following address: www.missingpeople.org.uk
The charity Missing People works with the police forces to help them locate missing people. The charity issues a public appeal when someone is reported to the police as having gone missing.
What kinds of missing people alerts does Royal Mail issue?
We issue 'High Risk Missing People Alerts' for adults and children who have been reported to the police as missing. We also issue 'Child Rescue Alerts' when a child has been abducted or disappears with immediate risk to life. Both alerts are collectively known as 'Missing People alerts'.
High Risk Missing People Alerts
We issue an alert when an adult or child goes missing who is vulnerable and in danger. For example, they may have been the victim of a serious crime. We also issue an alert when someone goes missing who is believed to pose a risk to the public. These are known as 'High Risk Missing People Alerts'.
There are likely to be around 50 of these alerts a year. Usually the alert will not be nationwide. So, not everyone using a hand-held scanner will receive each one.
Child Rescue Alerts
We issue an alert when a child is abducted or disappears with immediate risk to life. Every minute after abduction is crucial to bring a child home safely, so immediate action is vital. These are known as 'Child Rescue Alerts'.
There are likely to be around four or five of them a year. They are most likely to be national alerts, so everyone who has a hand-held scanner will receive them.
Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of people go missing in the UK each year. The charity Missing People issues missing people appeals for all of those who have been reported by the police as missing. Appeals are publicised on its website and through social media and other media partners. We are supporting the charity in publicising appeals for only those people who are classified as high risk. People may be classified as higher risk than others because of factors such as their age, health or the disappearance being very out of character. We will not send alerts for those deemed lower risk. However, if you wish to see details about all missing people, please visit the Missing People website at the following address: www.missingpeople.org.uk/help-us-find.html. If you see someone in your community that matches a description, please get in touch with the charity.
Example messages:
Child Rescue Alert: Angela Davis 6 dark hair, 4' 5", red coat, yellow scarf, white boots missing from Meadowhall. Seen her? Call 0300 200 0200. Picture: http://childrescuealert.org.uk/
High Risk Missing Person Alert: Alison Joyner, female, 24, missing from Tamworth, West Midlands. Seen her? Call 116000. Picture: https://www.missingpeople.org.uk/alisonjoyner14005104
If you see a missing person or child you should call the number given in the hand-held scanner message as soon as possible. If you make the observation during your rounds, please stop to make the call and report the missing person. The call should only take you a few minutes. Once made, continue with your work unless you have spoken to the police and have been instructed to do otherwise. It is important that you continue on with your work as soon as possible. Our obligations to our customers are of paramount importance.
Please click here to find out what questions you are likely to be asked when you respond to an alert.
If you are concerned about the safety of yourself or anybody else please immediately call the police on 999, referencing the appropriate Missing People alert. Please do not approach the person.
What can I do if I don't have a hand-held scanner device?
Missing People alerts are also published on our dedicated Missing People webpage and on our TV screens. This means that everyone working for Royal Mail can help find missing people and reunite families.
If you respond to an alert you are likely to be asked the following questions:
Name of the missing person
Time and date you saw the person
Location where you saw the person
What they looked like and what they were wearing
What the circumstances were
i. If you are responding to a High Risk Missing Person Alert you will be asked to contact the charity about your sighting. The charity will not pass your details onto the police unless you indicate that you are happy for them to do so. If you do provide your details, the police may wish to speak to you to check for further information which may help find the person.
ii. If you are responding to a Child Rescue Alert, the phone number provided in the message will put you directly in touch with the police.
Visit the website at www.missingpeople.org.uk or call the helpline on 116 000.


We hear from dancer Chris Ofanoa as The New Zealand Dance Company tours Australasia with their production Rotunda to commemorate the centenary of the WWI Anzac landing at Gallipoli.
Rotunda is a living memorial that celebrates the Anzac spirit with themes of courage, community and loss, and a desire for peace. We hear from dancer Chris Ofanoa as The New Zealand Dance Company tours Australasia to commemorate the centenary of the World War I Anzac landing at Gallipoli.
Rotunda features the collision of a live brass band with the raw power of contemporary dance. The choreography integrates shadow play, mace twirling, a 24 piece marching band, and a fusion of waiata with dynamic contemporary dance theatre. The production includes a transformative set by Joe Bleakley and costuming by Jane Holland.
Created by the company's artistic director Shona McCullagh in collaboration with NZDC dancers and Don McGlashan as musical director, Rotunda brings to life the world of the band rotunda as an iconic symbol of New Zealand community.
"The performers' journeys go to the heart of change and crisis, where compassion and kinship are illuminated by a haunting, humourous and deeply felt score," says Ms McCullagh.
Chris tells us about himself and the research for his role including analysing letters written by soldiers, poems and war images.
About 2-4pm because I'm fully awake and functioning, both mentally and physically so the chances of productive movement generation and idea contemplation is high.
Then 8pm-11pm is a great reflection time with multiple thoughts and alternate solutions to dance queries from the day.
My dance aesthetic could be described as sharp, hard and intricate movements, influenced largely on my hip-hop background and contemporary training.
I get a buzz from creating movement, or being given a choreographic task to generate movements; the texturising that can be found within simple movement and the overlapping between dance genres.
It has a huge impact on what I create with movement. Inside the studio creates a very different outcome to being outside.
Both! It's dependent on what type of work I am creating. If it's a hip-hop phrase, I focus on the intricate details first. If I'm creating a dance piece covering a wider variety of concepts, I structure material around the bigger picture.
I'm still working that out!
When I was in high school I taught a group of students and I loved seeing the journey they had from when I started to when they performed.
At my recent graduation, there was one dude who had a different gown, and was awarded a doctorate. He was being acknowledged for the completion of all his hard work, and I was inspired by his ability to persevere. It raises a thought that there is always another step to improving yourself.
Tell us a bit about your creative background.
I started dancing when I was 12 or 13, joining a hip hop crew and competing in competitions. I recently competed at the World Hip Hop Championships with Fresh Movement, as part of their Mega Crew. I have just graduated from Unitec with a Bachelor of Performing and Screen Arts. Now I've got a full time dance apprenticeship with The New Zealand Dance Company.
Tell us about Rotunda, the production and your role in it.
Rotunda commemorates the centenary of WW1, the ANZAC's who fought, those who were back home holding the fort, and those who didn't make it back. My role is as the right-hand man to the Leader in the community, who loses his life in the war and the impact that has on the men and women.
What research was involved and what have you discovered about WWI and Gallipoli in the process?
We analysed letters written by soldiers, read poems, looked at war images and weapons (the bayonets) and discussed the effects of shell shock that returned soldiers experienced. For me it's the shock that certain things happened, like fathers signing certificates of their underage sons, and the vague thoughts of what war was - being told it's an adventure, or how close the trenches were with the enemy, so close you could see the enemies' eyes.
How has it been received so far and what are the future plans for the work?
The response has been sick. Standing ovations and really amazing audience reactions.
What's the best way to listen to music, and why?
Lying down with head phones on.
What's your big idea for 2015?
To take every opportunity I can to develop myself as a dancer and artist.

Key Legislation Authored
Keeping Minnesotans Safe & Healthy

Minnesota Zoo Improvements
Legal Advocacy for Sexual Assault Victims

Minnesota Zoo Treetop Trail
Key Legislation Passed in 2019:
Keeping Minnesotans Safe & Healthy (HF 148)
This bill allows trained emergency medical technicians (EMTs) to provide community follow up home care for patients after emergency room visits. Current law permits paramedics, but not EMTs to carry out this practice. My bill, which has been signed into law, also expands paramedics' ability to now incorporate telemedicine as a part of their practice.
John's Emergency Medical Service bill passed with bipartisan support and no opposition.
Dennis A. Groth Memorial Bridge (HF 611)
After years of work, the Dennis A. Groth Memorial Bridge has finally been passed into law. This bridge is marked at U.S. Highway 52 over Dakota County State-Aid Highway 42, known as 145th Street, within the city of Rosemount. It is designated as Warrant Officer Dennis A. Groth Memorial Bridge.
Minnesota Zoo Improvements (HF 2510)
I sponsored legislation that was included in the final budget to dedicate more funding for long overdue improvements to the Minnesota Zoo. In addition to improvements, these funds will support education and accessibility programs. The zoo is an important economic contributor to our area, providing jobs and drawing people from all over Minnesota to visit.
Legal Advocacy for Sexual Assault Victims (HF 614)
When someone has experienced trauma, their ability to learn, achieve, and succeed are put at risk, and our budget addresses this. My bill, which would require colleges to notify victims of sexual assault that legal advocacy services are available to them, was included in the final higher education budget bill and signed into law.
Minnesota Principles Academy (HF 1335)
Developed by the University of Minnesota College of Education and Human Development, the Minnesota Principals Academy is a program that enables cohorts of practicing principals to put leadership best practices from education, business, military, and other fields to work on behalf of their students and schools. Through my advocacy, this important program was able to receive funding in 2019.
Legislation I Am Working On:
Capitol Flag Program (HF 1740)
Under this program, families would be able to request one Minnesotan or American flag that is flown over the Capitol, and receive it in commemoration of their lost loved one, free of charge. Unfortunately, the legislation was not included in the final budget, but I'll continue to advocate for it in the future.
Support Our Students Grant (HF 1363)
This bill would enable school districts to hire additional school support services personnel including licensed school counselors, school psychologists, school social workers, school nurses, and chemical dependency counselors. Although this bill was not incorporated into the final education budget bill, safe school supplement aid was included. I'll keep working on this important bill moving forward.
Representative Huot and Senator Clausen taking a ride on the old monorail line at the Minnesota Zoo, which would be converted into the Treetop Trail.
Minnesota Zoo Treetop Trail (HF 2328)
2020 is a bonding year at the Capitol, which means that the legislature will be appropriating money for long-term projects in communities across Minnesota. This session I will be advocating for funding to be allocated to the Minnesota Zoo for their Treetop Trail project, along with other improvements. The plan calls for repurposing the zoo's dormant monorail line to create a 1.3-mile elevated walkway that would loop through a variety of animal habitats, including native Minnesotan oak forests and wetlands, and allow visitors to see the lands and animals from a different perspective.

In addition to the spectacular beauty, nearly every aspect of its resources is of scientific interest. There are rare plant communities, endangered archeological sites, unique geological formations, and incredibly rich flora and fauna of both land and sea. Deriving its name from the offshore rocks at Punta de los Lobos Marinos, Point of the Sea Wolves, where the sound of the sea lions carries inland, the Reserve has often been called "the crown jewel of the State Park System". Point Lobos has offered many things to millions of people who have visited it over the years.
This area contains headlands, coves and rolling meadows. The offshore area, part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, forms one of the richest underwater habitats in the world popular with divers. Wildlife includes seals, sea lions, sea otters and migrating gray whales (from December to May). Thousands of seabirds also make the Reserve their home. Hiking trails follow the shoreline and lead to hidden coves. The area used to be the home of a turn-of-the-century whaling and abalone industry. After an 18-month closure, the Whalers Cabin has reopened to the public. A small cabin built by Chinese fishermen Located on the bluff above Whalers Cove, the Whalers Cabin is now a cultural history museum.The cabin is open from 9 AM - 5 PM daily, when staffing is available, with a maximum of 8 visitors at a time inside.

Interview with Japanese, Germany-based artist Lieko Ikemura: A sense of contemporaneity in her newest work, "Sinus Spring"
In an exhibition organized in collaboration between The National Art Center, Tokyo and Kunstmuseum Basel in Switzerland, the largest to-date solo exhibition of work by Germany-based internationally-acclaimed artist Leiko Ikemura is happening now.
Ikemura was born in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture, and spent her youth in the politically tumultuous 1960s. She majored in Spanish at Osaka University of Foreign Studies. In 1973, she travelled to Spain alone, learning the basics of academic art at University of Seville. Since then, she has lived in Switzerland and Germany, getting high acclaim from the contemporary art world for many years.
"Just as a lion separated from the herd will always sleep and hunt alone, I have always fought alone."
As she once said in an interview, Ikemura has built her own world with her artwork, leaving behind a language every time she moved, and using new languages in facing the robust societies of Europe. She resisted using exoticism to her advantage as an Asian, and instead ambitiously pursued the high road as a carrier of legitimate art history.
Ikemura's first solo exhibition at an art museum in Japan was in 2011, and since then over seven years have passed. I spoke to her about her life spent in tireless pursuit of creation.
This is internationally-renowned artist Leiko Ikemura's first large-scale solo exhibition in Japan in eight years. The exhibition will tour to Kunstmuseum Basel from spring to summer.
"The solo exhibition in 2011 was an important one that allowed me to become conscious of my relationships with people, and reflect on my own life. This time, I am looking at the world with an even broader perspective. I hope that people will read the messages I have hidden in my work, like how the girls I often draw have grown through struggle. I want to feel rather than judge, and understand with poetry rather than PC (political correctness) in response to current-day political and social problems."
The exhibition is made up of a collection of sixteen installations that show Ikemura's multifaceted creative activities. The huge exhibition space was composed by architect Philipp von Matt, and it was designed to be more than simple separate thematic blocks, and instead to have the spaces connect and intermingle with one another. Viewers are not limited to a single route, but are able to move from one space to the next, standing and looking as they go. They might take a break in the large exhibition room that functions as a sort of central square, then freely scatter in whatever direction they like. This seems to be a metaphor for the free movement of people, economy, and culture that was the ideal society (that the EU once aimed to achieve).
Prologue and Epilogue "Circle of Life"(1977 Etching on paper 29×26.5cm Collection of the artist)
"Although I am based in Europe, I'm always thinking about Eastern philosophy. That's where there is no beginning and no end, where death connects to rebirth, and there is a world view and sense of history that is based on cycles, not conflict. At this exhibition, I wanted to create a space that was smoothly connected, where people could broaden their perspective. I felt that to do so was part of the way my art is represented. I wanted to aim for a space where people are not looking passively but where they can breathe together with the work."
This exhibition space of magnificent scale contains all the series she has worked on to date, and the way that visitors can walk through the exhibit however they please, with vivid colors changing as they go, gives a feeling of a mature poetic quality that fills the space to its corners.
Drawings from her Neo-Expressionist period have strong lines and a sharp and intense self-awareness. Paintings and sculptures of ghost-like young girls with vague outlines appear from the shadows. Poems with a free and rich linguistic sense written by Ikemura herself are scattered throughout.
Of special note is the installation made up of accumulated terra cotta and ceramic pieces that she has been working on since the 1980s. People, animals, and imaginary creatures, standing together in large numbers in their raw and innocent states, appearing like earthen figures excavated from an ancient ruin.
Ikemura says that with regards to ceramics, "The texture of the clay and the way something comes into being through passing over my skin is thrilling."
NEXT PAGE → How have Ikemura's artwork changed since the 1990s?
Leiko Ikemura
Born in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture in 1951. The artist currently resides in Germany. After dropping out of the Spanish Language program at Osaka University of Foreign Language Studies, she entered the University of Seville Faculty of Fine Arts in Spain, where she majored in Fine Art. Next she lived in Zurich, Switzerland, then Nuremburg, before basing herself in Berlin and Cologne from the late 1980s onward. She works in a diverse range of media, including painting, sculpture, drawing, watercolor, printmaking, photography, and more. She has a lot of female fans who feel a connection with her social sentiments and the motifs she uses (such as small animals, natural-looking girls, mothers with children, mystical landscapes, and more).

"I have known Corinne & Jerome since the 1980″s. My experience goes back to the original Abintra. I have received from them as well as other therapists who were working there at the time. I have taken workshops there and also worked there. We have a history together. I have always felt good about their integrity and expertise. I consider them friends as well as long standing colleagues. " Viana Daven, LMP since the mid 70′s.
"I am writing a recommendation for Abintra Wellness Center not as a consumer but as a business associate.
From 1995 to 2000 I sublet an office from Jerome and Corinne, having already been acquainted with them long before I'd even thought to become a massage practitioner. Our association does go back a considerable span of time, some 25 years, as a matter of fact.
In establishing my office within the Abintra Wellness Center, I found Corinne and Jerome to be caring, involved professionals who are consistently concerned with the upliftment of the profession of massage. They treat each client, theirs or mine, with equal care and solicitation. Their customer service approach wi an equal balance of professional concern, clear communication regarding the seemingly endless web of insurance billing and gentle humor.
When they had their larger center, they welcomed a diversity of practitioners, workshop participants and clients to Abintra Wellness Center, facilitating growth, expansion and learning for innumerable practitioners of the healing arts.
"I think this is the best place in Seattle to get a massage. Although I never saw Jerome, I am sure the experience would be similar to Corinne. Corinne is such a caring, genuine, and kind person. She is a good listener and wants to help a person feel his or her best. Abintra Wellness Center is professional and understanding. Abintra goes out of its way to make a good experience for others. As someone who has had massages and varying kinds of places, Abintra is by far the best!
One more thing, when I was pregnant and couldn't make it in for an appointment, Corinne called me to give me some pointers on what I could do myself to alleviate pain. She also emailed me some suggestions. This is just one of many examples of how Corrine empathizes with people and goes out of her way to help.
I had lower back and neck pain. Going to Abintra Wellness regularly helped my back and neck pain to go away. I am also a runner, and receiving massages helped me to avoid injury. In addition, going to Abintra Wellness while pregnant also helped provide comfort during that time.
"I have been a client of Abintra Wellness & Corinne Kelly since 2009. I sought massage therapy to alleviate muscle pains in my neck, shoulders, and leg muscle pain and was referred to Abintra Wellness by my primary doctor. My work environment is highly stressful and my body has been storing all the stress in my muscles. Corinne Kelly of Abintra Wellness, through her magical healing hands, has alleviated the muscle pain from the affected areas. Seeing Corinne Kelly for my monthly massage therapy session is the highlight of my month and I look forward to every visit.
"My experience at Abintra Wellness Center was wonderful! I was referred for massage therapy because of injuries from an automobile accident. Corinne has healing hands; there is no doubt! She certainly makes my body feel better every session. The injuries from the accident have healed. I've learned, however, that ongoing massage is so beneficial to my well being. Even though it is not longer covered by me medical insurance, I am more than willing to pay for the benefits of Corinne's massages." Karen Jones, Retired Teacher, Seattle's Greenlake neighborhood.
"I have the good fortune of seeing both Corinne and Jerome on a regular basis.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a smaller bowl, combine the egg, milk, and melted butter. Blend the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is almost smooth. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes.
Heat a frying pan (cast iron works well) or griddle on medium-high heat. Grease the pan lightly with butter or a neutral vegetable oil. Use about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake, and do not crowd the pan. Fry each pancake until its surface is covered with bubbles. Flip and fry the other side for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat until all the batter is gone.
You can substitute cream for the milk for a richer pancake, or buttermilk for a tangier version. If the batter gets too thick, add a little extra milk.

Yesterday I did not feel all that great after a relatively poor night of sleep, though I did stop by Swan Lake briefly and get out on a walk to the park with Connor.
Today I stopped by Swan Lake this morning after dropping Connor off at school. I also stopped by Centennial Building and to look around on my way home. Late this morning I took advantage of pleasant weather to go for a walk to Totem Park.
Weather: Yesterday was rainy and a bit breezy. Snow level dropped to about 2900 feet or so. Today it started out overcast, but became partly cloudy for much of the late morning and early afternoon. Clouds moved in again later in the afternoon, though I did not notice any rain. This evening after sunset there were clear skies over town. The temperature this morning was near 40, and the snow level behind town was probably around 2700 feet. Mt. Edgecumbe was mostly covered in clouds when I looked, but what I could see through the breaks appeared to have no snow, despite the crater rim's elevation being between 2800 and 3200 feet in elevation. Perhaps the far side (which is the higher part) had snow, or it was just warmer out there.
Birds: Yesterday the two scaups were still at Swan Lake. I also saw three American Wigeons, and the Cackling Goose. At Totem Park we noted the Ruddy Turnstone, American Pipits, Savannah Sparrows and the Spotted Sandpiper.
This morning at Swan Lake I saw two American Wigeons, two Greater Scaups, a Hooded Merganser (on the HPR side of the lake), and the Cackling Goose.
On the rocks near the Crescent Harbor boat ramp, there were quite a few Black Turnstones and Surfbirds. They alternated between the rocks just inside the breakwater, the rocks on the outside of the breakwater, and the rocks across the Kettleson Library cove. There were probably more than 100 birds in total, with most of them Black Turnstones. I saw perhaps 10 Surfbirds.
As I was leaving the house for my walk, I noticed two Song Sparrows singing back and forth. One was by Austin House, the other in the large elderberry just down the drive. I think the sunshine brought out the urge to sing, as I heard more Song Sparrows singing down along the beach also.
There were quite a few Black Turnstones and a few gulls at Sage Beach. There were also several Harlequin Ducks.
I think I saw a couple of Red-necked Grebes out in Crescent Bay.
There was a Hermit Thrush along the beach at the same place where one seemed to join me for a time on my walk a couple of days ago. A little further up the beach I saw two more Hermit Thrushes. Later I also saw another Hermit Thrush in the woods near the trail as it nears the bridge across the river.
There were quite a few Savannah Sparrows and not quite as many Song Sparrows scatter about foraging at the upper part of the beach.
I do not know if it's coincidental timing or not, but the number of gulls at Totem Park has been much less in the few days since I saw the goshawk kill the gull. At first I thought it might be because I was visiting at high tides, but today the tide was out a bit and there were still far fewer gulls. There are fewer salmon carcasses on the beach, but most of the gulls on the beach before were not eating at the time anyway. Today I saw perhaps a couple of hundred gulls in 2 or 3 flocks at different places on the tide flats. I saw some Black-legged Kittiwakes out from the beach between the Battlesite and the River Mouth.
At the river mouth there were 50+ Harlequin Ducks, 5 Northern Pintails, a Green-winged Teal, several Mallards, 4 Barrow's Goldeneye, and around 15 Surf Scoters. The goldeneyes were the first I have seen this fall. Six Common Mergansers flew up to the river while I was watching, but by the time I got up there, I only saw 2 diving at the lower part of the estuary. I was interested to see a Northern Pintail diving with them. I think of pintails as dabbling ducks, so it was strange to see this one diving, presumably for salmon eggs. It seemed to require more effort to get underwater than the mergansers did.
There were quite a few gulls in the estuary and river, but still not as many as I had seen last week and before.
On my walk around the flats I also saw several Pelagic Cormorants and I think one Double-crested Cormorant.

Not since Sheff & Doc have I jumped on a bandwagon just cause a team has some cool cats on the roster...anyone have an xtra Cubbie hat?
I think the Bulls selection is even easier than this one!
With a silky smooth jumper w/ NBA 3-point range, a vast array of low-post moves, better hands than Tori Hunter, and a relentless passion to clean the glass, The Bease will average 24 ppg 12 rpg by his 2nd season in the Association and will end-up being one of the all-time greats.
Similar to Beasley, as soon as Mayo enters the gym he's a threat to score. With a lightning quick cross-over in either direction, a pull-up J that's unstoppable, and an underrated defensive intensity, OJ will step right-in be a dominate force in year one.
With a ridiculous combination of speed & strength, Rose will be a nightmare for virtually every guard in the NBA for the next 12 years. While more of a true point than Mayo, the comparisons to CP3 & D-Will are a lil over-hyped as his natural playmaking abilities are nowhere close to where those two were prior to the draft. Throw-in a jumper that needs some work and he may need more time than people think.
Just cause #12 doesn't play D, doesn't mean all white-kids can't play D!
The talk that he's in the 10-12 range has more to do with his light shade than his baller abilities. Since Bill Walton, no Big Man has entered the draft with more all-around skills than Mr. Love, not to mention, he's a much better shooter than the annoying broadcaster ever was. Sure he needs to lose a little baby-fat, but he's more athletic than advertised and has a bball IQ that's off the charts. While PGs are the flavor of the year, Love's ability to dominate the high-post will completely alter the defensive strategy of his opponents.
As for how I'm warming-up to the Douggy Collins 2nd sideline tour in Chi-Town, I think he'll combine with Beasley to make the Bulls a top-3 team in the East next year. While he'll be burned out by year two, it enables Johnny Pax to convince a young brilliant assistant to come to the Windy City knowing he'll be a Head Coach by 2010. Alrighty, enough roundball talk, let's hit it up with some ATS diamond picks.
While that's not Bernie the Brewer...he's just as cool!
...so just cheer on the Brew Crew and wish me luck!

Barbie Introduces Gender-Inclusive Line Of Dolls And Stan Twitter Is Here For It
BY Alexis Barron | September 30, 2019 AT 9:10 am
By Alexis Barron September 30, 2019 at 9:10 am
@ creatableworld / Twitter
We've all heard something or another about how Gen Z is changing the world. And one of the generation's biggest fights is for a non-binary future. They're leading the change in the way we think about gender. Young people are creating new vocabularies and taxonomies, and older generations are playing catch-up.
Mattel, a 74 year old company is trying to stay up to date. The maker of hyper-feminine Barbie doll, has announced the launch of 'Creatable World' the first series of gender-fluid dolls. These toys differ from the classic gendered Barbie and Ken, in subtle yet significant ways. Children of any gender identification are welcome to play with them. The slogan reads, "A doll line designed to keep labels out and invite everyone in", a clear nod to trans and nonbinary identities, the company is betting on where it thinks the country is going.
All 'Creatable World' dolls look like a 7 year old with short hair, and each comes with a wig to switch up the look.
A 🌎 without labels means everyone is invited to play. Welcome to @CreatableWorld, where we let toys be toys so kids can be kids. #AllWelcome
A post shared by MATTEL (@mattel) on Sep 24, 2019 at 9:32pm PDT
The doll can be either a boy, a girl, neither or both. Carefully designed, the gender-neutral doll has features that betray no gender. The eyelashes are not too long or fluttery, the jaw not too wide. It doesn't have Barbie-like breasts or Ken-like broad shoulders. All of the 'Creatable World' series dolls look like a 7 year old with short hair, and each comes with a wig of long locks and a wardrobe fit for any fashion-conscious kid; hoodies, sneakers, t-shirts and tutus and camo pants.
Kids don't want their toys dictated by gender norms, Mattel wants kids to express themselves freely.
"Toys are a reflection of culture and as the world continues to celebrate the positive impact of inclusivity, we felt it was time to create a doll line free of labels," Mattel said in a statement. "Through research, we heard that kids don't want their toys dictated by gender norms. This line allows all kids to express themselves freely."
Younger generations are challenging the constraints and traditional meanings of gender and toy companies are actively repackaging their products to align with the shift in representation, inclusion and diversity that Gen-Z children are largely responsible for.
Toy companies are trying, sometimes too hard: Hasbro and Mattel have been accused of attempting to profit off culture wars.
For years, consumers have pushed back against "pink aisles" and "blue aisles", in the name of exposing children to whichever toy they may like regardless of their gender-identification; like girls playing with building blocks and boys with dolls. In 2015, Target eliminated gender specific sections, and Disney got rid of "girls" and "boys" labels from its children's costumes, inviting anyone to dress as Captain America or a princess if they so choose to. Just this month, Hasbro released Ms Monopoly, where women players earn more than men. Mattel launched culturally diverse Barbies not long ago (Including "Día de los Muertos Barbie" which garnered them some accusations of cultural appropriation).
The response has not been completely positive. Hasbro and Mattel have been accused of attempting to profit off culture wars.
The range of 'Creatable Worlds' has won the heart of some members or the LGBTQ community who are happy to see such inclusion.
Mattel's gender neutral doll has won over some members of the LGBTQ community. "So many children and parents never saw themselves represented in toys and dolls, but this new line raises the bar for inclusion thanks to input from parents, physicians and children themselves," the LGBT advocacy group Glaad wrote on Twitter.
The toy-makers however, have made it clear that they do not have a political stance; "We're not in the business of politics," Mattel's president told Time Magazine, "and we respect the decision any parent makes around how they raise their kids. Our job is to stimulate imaginations. Our toys are ultimately canvases for cultural conversation, but it's your conversation, not ours; your opinion, not ours."
Earlier this year Mattel made another attempt at inclusivity launching a black Barbie doll in a wheelchair as part of their 'Fashionista' range.
Mattel has been attempting to widen its scope on representation by creating more inclusive toys for a while. Earlier this year, the toy company announced the launch of a black Barbie doll, who wears her hair natural and uses a wheelchair, the launch sent the internet into a frenzy.
The doll, which comes with a ramp so that she can access Barbie Dreamhouses, was received with much praise on Twitter. Users were loving everything, from her natural hairstyle to the design of the wheelchair, which is an everyday chair rather than those commonly used in hospitals.
Mattel will launch 'Creatable World' exclusively online for the time being, in part to better control the message.

In celebration of the iconic brand's 60th anniversary, the glamorous Barbie Dreamhouse Airbnb Experience boasts amenities such as an infinity pool with a water slide, an open-air meditation room, a small movie theater, third-floor basketball court and panoramic views of the Pacific.
With Barbie's aesthetic in mind, the decor is chic, modern and, naturally, awash in pink.
All of this is possible because Barbie is celebrating her 60th birthday!
Barbie's Malibu Dream House will be available on Airbnb for a two-night stay in honor of the doll's 60th anniversary. Airbnb is partnering with Mattel to make the Dream House a reality for Barbie fans.
In honor of Barbie, Airbnb will also make a donation to the Barbie Dream Gap Project GoFundMe initiative, which aims to encourage young girls to pursue any career path they choose and increase the representation of women in all fields.
The house can sleep four guests, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The larger bedroom features a pink accent wall and a walk-in closet.
Though Airbnb makes it clear that if you'll be visiting with more than one other guest, you'll have to share a bed. I mean I'm in Barbie's Malibu Dream House. I think I can manage that.
Barbie's Malibu Dream House also has an infinity pool and a water slide. And a meditation space, because being Barbie can be stressful.
And yes, even the closets are decked out in all things Barbie.
The walk-in closet comes with clothes from Barbie's many careers over the years. No word on whether or not you'll be able to have your own Barbie fashion photo shoot or if they're just there for decor but fashion lovers rejoice.
But your Barbie Dream House experience comes with a whole mix of other Barbie-centric activities.
Lucky guests will also have the opportunity to take part in just the sort of culturally enriching hobbies Barbie enjoys, led by other impressive women like herself: Fencing pro Ibtihaj Muhammad will be on-hand for private lessons; Jill Meyers, an aerospace engineer, is offering in-depth tours of the Columbia Memorial Space Center; and local chef Gina Clarke-Helm can teach you how to cook with California's farm-to-table fare.
But it's all temporary. After the birthday celebration, the house will then return to its regular Airbnb listing (without the Barbie décor). So get your booking on!

If you were a teen in the 90s you had to have a Caboodles organizer—the bright plastic cases filled with trays for organizing makeup. (And If you had one, you probably grew up to be the kind of person who hangs out in The Container Store for fun). Growing up, I played with Barbie dolls and just as I lost interest, I moved on makeup, which led me to discover Caboodles. Somehow though, I never got to play with both 90s classics at the same time.
Now that 90s nostalgia is at an all-time high, Mattel and Caboodles are fixing that, by launching a collaboration between the two 90s icons, after all this time.
Caboodles announced the collab with Barbie via an Instagram giveaway gifting the original collab Barbie doll and her caboodles from the 90s.

Caboodles recently launched an adorable collaboration with Mattel which features several case designs with barbie inspired accents and colors. The classic On-The-Go and 'Pretty in Petite' cases from the nineties are making a comeback in 'Iconic Pink' (a true nostalgic Barbie Dream House hot pink) and Pure Glam (a more subtle rose gold). In addition to the legendary Barbie color palette collection, there will be a truly epic clear case. The clear Barbie X Caboodles makeup organizer is a neat freak's dream. The collection will expand to Ulta this month and there's more in the pipeline well into 2020.
This is not the first time the beauty organizer brand partners with Barbie. In the early 90s, Caboodles partnered with Mattel to release a Caboodles Barbie. The doll retailed for $12.99 and came with "a real makeup case and glitter beach makeup," according to the 1993 ad. You might still be able to get one on Etsy or eBay. For the launch of their new collection, Caboodles gave away a vintage case from that very first collaboration to one lucky winner on Instagram.
The collaboration appeals to women now as much as it did when they were kids.
"Barbie inspires the limitless potential in every girl, and we are committed to championing girls of all ages and giving them the tools to succeed," said Mattel's vice president of global strategy and U.S. consumer products, Diane Reichenberger, who said the brand is thrilled to bring back a collaboration that will appeal to women now as much as it did when they were kids.
In the same joint statement, Khadeja Salley, director of lifestyle brands at Caboodles' parent company, Plano Synergy, said, "At the core of the Caboodles brand is the idea that organization can and should be limitless, driving potential for women and girls to express their individuality all while tackling any challenges life throws at them," adding, "Sharing common core beliefs and a passion for encouraging others to follow their dreams, we are excited to present this quintessential collection to both nostalgic and new consumers."
Caboodles were inspired by tackle boxes, but for organizing makeup and beauty products.
Although company legend has it that Caboodles were inspired by a 1986 People magazine photoshoot where Vanna White used a fishing tackle box as a makeup organizer, Caboodles were actually the brainchild of New Zealand native Leonie Mateer. When she relocated to California in the 1980s, Mateer wanted to start a business; she recalled that she had once seen a model arriving to a photoshoot with a tackle box to organize her cosmetics, and the idea was born.
Leonie Mateer came up with the name 'Caboodles' in the bathtub and launched in the late 80s.
"I knew that the name needed to be colorful if it was to appeal to my target audience—teens," Mateer wrote in her book, The Caboodle Blueprint: Turn Your Idea Into Millions. "I was sitting in my bathtub reading a huge Oxford English Dictionary," she recalled. "I came across 'Caboodles,' which had a definition of 'a collection or clutter of things.' How perfect, I thought, for an organizer box." The first boxes, called 'on-the-go organizers' hit the market in 1987 and were an instant hit. In the first two years, the company sold 2 million years. By 1992, The New York Times reported that "nearly 80 percent of teenage girls in the country are aware of Caboodles." Eventually, the line grew to 70 products, which retailed between $5 and $40.
You can now relive your very organized teen years by picking up a brand new Caboodle. The Caboodles x Barbie collection is now available for purchase at Caboodles website and will launch an additional exclusive line at Ulta nationwide this coming October.

HomeAudienceAdminSpeed Up Application Rendering with HTTP/2 Support
Speed Up Application Rendering with HTTP/2 Support
By Maniappan Rajagopalan
HTTP, which stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, is the mechanism used to request Web pages from a server and render them on a screen. HTTP/1.1, which is commonly used today, was made standard in 1999. Slowly but surely, we are now advancing to the HTTP/2 regime, which promises to give us a better and speedier browsing experience.
Many of the websites today have servers that support HTTP protocols, which are based on standards that were released in 1999. The focus of Web browser and application developers, since then, has been on the various strategies that could be deployed to lay out the files on browsers in a better way for faster rendering and a more real-time experience. But the effort by Google (with SPDY) and its adoption by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) to make it a standard with an RFC (Request for Comments), changed the way files are rendered to the browser from the Web server, speeding up application rendering substantially.
This article gives the history of the HTTP and the advantages of the newly released standard, HTTP/2, which is catching up because it ensures faster real-time rendering of data in the browsers.
A brief history of the HTTP standard
Tim Berners-Lee, considered the inventor of Web technologies, proposed the World Wide Web project in 1989 with his team at CERN. This involved a server that transported data over the TCP/IP and was called a Web server. This implemented one protocol action called 'GET', which indicated to the server that the 'User Agent', also called the 'Browser', had sent this request to get the data (Web page) referred by the parameter that it sent along with the request. The Web page that resides in a relative location inside the Web server requested is known as the URL (universal resource locator) that points to the simplified markup language based file, namely, the HTML file.
Figure 1: Pre-Internet connectivity
The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) consists of identifiers (markups) that refer to various segments of the file (like the header, body and footer), the divisions inside these sections, various data types referred to in the page (namely, images), as well as audio/video links that are later fetched by the browsers to display or play. The server that serves these hypertext files is also called a HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) server. This server implementation was later made into a standard by the IETF with the RFC 1945 document.
This way of exchanging documents and information became popular very quickly since the protocols that were used earlier, like the FTP (file transfer), Gopher (search and retrieve) and TELNET (a connection to another machine) were all found to be difficult to use by graduates who were not computer savvy in the college campuses. This technique caught on fast in the early 1990s.
These servers were run on mainframes and/or servers that were in the intranets of campuses and enterprises, and were primarily used to serve internal documentation and forms.
The very first website that was created by Tim Berners-Lee is still active at http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
HTTP versions
This initial HTTP protocol version was denoted by the number 0.9. Figure 2 provides the timeline for the various versions that were released and the features that the protocols supported.
The actions that were supported in each of these versions and the standard document number (RFC) are tabulated below:
The initial version supported only the GET action. This was restricted to serving the HTML files and the associated files (images) that were referred with the '<IMG>' tag. Applications at that time were mainly serving documents with images, forms that could be downloaded and printed, calendars with events marked, etc.
With the linking of email capability into the HTML syntax, there was a need to collect the feedback and contact details of people visiting the website, and sending it to appropriate personnel within the college and/or company. This is when corporate websites started appearing in the dial-up connected Internet, and these companies wanted their visitors to also fill up some forms that would enable them to collect information. This led to the POST action being supported, which would send the information collected in the browser back into the Web server for saving and sending as emails. This was the start of two-way data handling from the servers and browsers.
Browser based applications were developed, and there was a need for additional actions to be supported that would enable the server to interact with the thick client applications running on the browser to exchange data and enable workflows for the browser users. The competition amongst browser developers to capture market share did not focus on HTTP enhancements and instead laid emphasis on faster rendering of text and images in the browser itself. Since these improvements saturated, the browser vendors along with Google(SPDY) efforts started looking at how to handle the improvements via enhanced exchange of data from HTTP servers and hence this new protocol standard.
History of user agent(s) or Web browser(s)
The first browser that was developed by NCSA in 1993 was known as Mosaic and was later renamed as Netscape Navigator. Its descendant is Mozilla Firefox and, in 1995, Microsoft licensed it to create Internet Explorer. Apple released its browser, Safari, in 2003 and Google later released Chrome in 2008. Each browser competed on efficiency and faster rendering of these Hypertext files to attract a larger user base. Cross-platform (OS) versions of these browsers were also released to increase their adoption.
Apart from the performance improvements in rendering the content on the screen, efforts were made to alter content storage and retrieval to make it reach and render faster in the browsers. Pages were kept compressed and transferred to avoid latency in lower bandwidth connections. The progressive rendering of images using the interlaced GIF standard was attempted.
Figure 2: HTTP timeline
Genesis of the HTTP/2 standard
As these changes took place, the nature of content rendered on the browsers also started to become more real-time as compared to static content that was rendered in the 1990s, right up till the mid-2000s. To address this challenge, those at Google realised that browser behaviour needed to be addressed by providing additional information to it from the server, regarding which part of the content needed to be changed immediately and which portions had to remain static.
The SPDY protocol, which was made public by Google in July 2012, was developed to provide information to the browser using a new command that would update only a certain part of the Web page with greater speed; hence, the protocol was called SPeeDY. It also used other techniques to speed up the transport of the files from the server to the browser by compressing the files using the gzip mechanism.
This was contributed by Google to the IETF standards body that took up the standardisation effort using the RFC 7540, which was completed in May 2015. Apart from other changes, a new protocol method, PATCH, was added. The PUT action replaces the data which is sent from the browser completely, in the server; with PATCH, the browser sends only the incremental changes that need to be done on the server and thereby enables quicker changes on the server side.
Google, with the SPDY protocol, started making changes in the behaviour of the HTTP server, and followed this by showing the performance improvements due to the Chrome browser enhancements to support this protocol. This grabbed the attention of many content delivery service providers who were handling high requests for the 'static' files that were hosted by them instead of application hosting servers. This was done predominantly to reduce the access times for these static files by hosting them nearer to the location of the browsers themselves.
Browsers that implemented HTTP/1.1 had the issue of locking up the requests thread to the server till the parse of the initial set of files was completed. This led to it taking longer to serve the browser's request for files and this affected the performance of these CDN (content delivery network) providers. This motivated Google and these adopters to make it a standard for the HTTP servers themselves, which led to the implementation of this version (from the draft stage itself) in the leading servers and browsers.
Support for Web servers and browsers
Some of the popular Web servers and the corresponding versions that are supported are tabulated below:
Browsers with the minimum version where the support is available are listed in Figure 3.
Many CDN providers, like Akamai (which spearheaded the adoption of this standard), CloudFlare and CDN77, have moved their servers to the latest versions that support this protocol. Apart from these providers, other application server provider who depend on high performance of HTTP servers also have moved to the latest versions.
The advantages of HTTP/2
Apart from compression of the data being sent from the server to the client, the following are additional changes that have been made in this version.
A. Concurrency support: Multiple requests can be sent by the client over the same connection as opposed to a single request per HTTP connection in HTTP/1.1. The response can come in a different sequence than the order in which the requests were placed to quickly render the information that comes in early.
B. Support for prioritisation indication: The browser can indicate to the server the priority of resources requested from it, and the server can change the sequence in which it transmits resources, thus helping the browser to handle these faster.
C. Server push support: This helps in the server indicating the availability of additional information for the requests that have been made by the browser, which were not part of the request that it sent earlier.
D. Compression support: Compression of data and the header reduces the time taken to transport the information to the browser.
E. PATCH support: This is a modification of the PUT action, whereby the browser instructs the server to update the information partially instead of a complete replacement as in PUT.
F. RST_STREAM support: This indicates to the server that the user has moved away from the operation that was requested (hit Back or stop the loading button, abort the download, etc), so that it can quickly abandon all the transfers from the server, instead of wasting bandwidth as happened with earlier versions.
Figure 3: Browser support
Measuring speed improvements
Akamai, a leading CDN provider, has been in the forefront with respect to the adoption of the HTTP/2 standards and has supported the SPDY efforts. A demo hosted by it on http://http2.akamai.com/ provides the relative timings taken to load its famous tiled Spinning Globe image, both in HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. With the former, the latency was 264ms and the load time was 32.7ms. With HTTP/2, the latency was 0ms and the load time was 3.17ms.
CDN provider Cloudflare has the highest number of SPDY and HTTP/2 based servers running across the world, and in its demo site https://www.cloudflare.com/http2/ the performance improvements are also three times higher when compared to HTTP/1.1 based systems. The time taken to load the tiled image of its server distribution map was 25.18s with the HTTP/1.1 server and 8.34s with the HTTP/2 server.
These improvements are certainly useful in faster loading of websites and real-time updates. This will also increase site affinity with users in locations where broadband connectivity and high speeds are still not available.
Migrating to a new standard
According to a worldwide website tracking software (https://blog.shodan.io/tracking-http2-0-adoption/), in December 2015, HTTP 1.1 servers were still three times more than the combined number of various forms of SPDY and HTTP/2 supported servers. Moving to HTTP/2 standards provides all the advantages that come with the protocol, and a checklist will help in planning and executing the migration.
If the website being migrated already has secure (SSL) support, it will be easy to upgrade the version to the appropriate one that contains this support. If the website doesn't have SSL support, the first step would be to convert it into a secure site (HTTPS) and then ensure that the server has the support for the new standard.
After the server is moved to the latest version, a detailed study of the layout of the resources served from it needs to be made to ensure that the advantages of the concurrency, prioritisation and the push support are appropriately utilised by the applications hosted in the server. Additionally, the SEO optimisations done and image types that are used in applications have to be analysed to ensure that the server's performance can be improved and the functionalities are maintained from the earlier versions.

Alternative fuel sources used to power cargo ship
January 14, 2015	0 By Amanda Giasson
A ship has been designed to run off of wind power and gas.
Norwegian engineer, Terje Lade, is working on a new method for ships that will lower emissions, fuel consumption, and bunker expenses, in an effort to make ships more eco-efficient, and has designed a cargo vessel – Vindskip – that relies on alternative fuel sources for power, instead of on heavy fuel oil for propulsion.
The sea vessel makes use of wind energy and LNG.
Lade, the managing director of the company Lade AS, has developed a new type of cargo ship that uses the propriety Vindskip technology and includes software created by Fraunhofer researchers. This software will help to make sure that available wind energy will be used optimally at any time.
According to the Lade As website, "Vindskip is a hybrid merchant vessel for sustainable sea transport, driven by the wind and LNG." Vindskip benefits from free-blowing wind, which makes it highly energy efficient. The freighter's hull acts as a wing sail, which allows it to make the most of the wind on the high seas. However, to be able to maneuver the ship on the sea and maintain a steady speed, the vessel has been equipped with propulsion machinery that runs on LNG (liquefied natural gas). This makes the machinery both cost-effective and friendly for the environment.
Alternative fuel sources like wind and LNG could cut down on fuel costs and emissions.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) wants to lower the impact that ocean liners, which run on heavy fuel oil, have on the environment. Reducing the pollution is important, considering 90% of all goods in the world are transported via international shipping.
The problem, however, is that higher quality fuel is more expensive than the heavy fuel oil that is currently used. This means that shipping companies are faced with a huge challenge because, by 2020, in certain areas, ships will only be permitted to use fuel containing 0.1% sulfur. Since this high-quality fuel with reduced sulfur is more expensive, it will be difficult for these companies to lower their fuel costs and meet the new emission regulations.
That being said, according to the Norwegian company's calculations, with Vindskip's combination of the alternative fuel sources, wind and LNG, the average approximate fuel consumption is only 60% and carbon dioxide emissions are lowered by 80%. Lade predicts that the ship will set sail as early as 2019.
