'Career Stretch' & Readiness: Does It Differ From a Gender Lens?
Stretch opportunities – those meaty assignments requiring expertise outside one's regular duties – are all the rage right now. Companies like them because they provide employees with challenges and new skills, while acting as a trial run of an employee's competence. Employees like stretch assignments because they signify a temporary opportunity to show their stuff, get exposure to new groups and leaders, and to lean in to an area of interest or passion.
But what factors go into a professional's decision to raise their hand for a stretch role or assignment? What makes them shrink away?
This week Be Leaderly's Selena Rezvani served as a guest on Coffee Break with Game-Changers Radio, Presented by SAP. Together with host Bonnie Graham and panelists Robert F. Solomon Jr., Director of Talent Development with the Network of Executive Women (NEW) and Shuchi Sharma, Global Vice President and Leader of Gender Intelligence at SAP, the group dug into the many factors that make us stretch and challenge ourselves.
We encourage you to listen to the group's lively analysis of everything from "mansplaining", to how networks impact the ability to stretch, to insights and advice for overcoming potential roadblocks, to negotiating stretch assignments on one's own terms. Excitingly, the group also takes a sneak peek of an upcoming research report by Be Leaderly, where we investigate how men and women determine their 'readiness to stretch' differently and what factors they consider in their decision making process.

Can Turkey stem the refugee tide?
After lengthy negotiations, Ankara and the EU finalised their refugee deal. Now comes the hard part.
by David Lepeska
Some European countries, including Germany, would like to set up refugee processing centres within Turkey, writes Lepeska [EPA]
Just over two weeks ago in an exclusive interview, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent a chill through Europe. "What would happen if these 2.2 million refugees get out of Turkey and start marching towards the EU," he wondered, referring to the 28-nation European Union.
The next day a group of jihadis killed 130 people in Paris. When the world learned that one of the attackers had apparently posed as a Syrian refugee to travel from Turkey to Greece and into France, Erdogan's suggestion morphed for many into something of a doomsday scenario.
EU seeks deal with Turkey to curb refugee crisis
Many EU states quickly established temporary border controls, which threaten to end the bloc's 20-year-old open border system, known as Schengen.
Still the migrants streamed in, up to 5,000 a day. "We cannot accommodate any more refugees in Europe," French Prime Minister Manuel Valls pressed last week. "That's not possible."
Game changer?
That desperation fuelled negotiations with Turkey, which led on Sunday to an agreement that aims to improve the lives of refugees in Turkey in order to turn illegal migration into - much slower - legal migration.
Erdogan leveraged the threat, and Europe bent over backwards to accommodate his demands, offering $3.2bn in refugee aid, visa-free travel across the 28-nation EU, and speeded up accession talks for Turkey.
If Turkey were to embrace its inner Australia and put its refugees on the fast track to asylum and potential citizenship, that could change the game.
In return, Turkey will tighten border controls, particularly in the Aegean Sea - the main route for refugees and migrants heading to Europe. It will also allow the EU to send back thousands of migrants and give refugees in Turkey the right to work and greater access to education.
As Erdogan continued to deal with the fallout from Turkey's recent downing of a Russian fighter jet near the Syrian border, Turkey's Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu led the delegation to Brussels, saying the deal marked a "historic day" for Turkey-EU relations.
It's likely to improve strained ties, but mistrust lingers. European officials, for instance, have stressed that their willingness to deliver the promised benefits hinges on Turkey's compliance. Sticking points remain, such as the disbursal of the $3.2bn, just $530m of which will come from the EU budget. Several member states dragged their feet on committing to their share of the remaining funds.
In addition, some European countries, including Germany, would like to set up refugee processing centres within Turkey, like those already operating in Italy and Greece. Turkey has yet to agree.
Accession talks will resume this month. EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Turkey needs to show progress in human rights, media freedom, and in reaching peace with the Kurds, and promised to engage in high-level dialogue with Turkish officials on every key issue.
The biggest winners are likely to be the nearly three million refugees in Turkey (Syrians, plus Iraqis, Afghanis, Iranians and some from troubled African nations). Officially, they are not refugees, but temporary guests. They cannot legally join the workforce nor apply for asylum, as they would in European countries such as Germany and Sweden.
Some live in well-run refugee camps, while others have started businesses and are doing fine. But the vast majority struggle to get by, taking under-the-table jobs - working in restaurants, in construction, or in the fields, including many children - and living in cramped, inadequate housing, or on the street.

In recent months Turkey has quietly stopped accepting more refugees, while aid funding has declined sharply in the past year, cutting crucial aid programmes. Just last week Amnesty International found that Ankara had deported dozens of Syrians back to Syria, putting them at risk of "serious human rights abuse". Many face arbitrary detention as well, according to Amnesty researchers.
It's easy to see why many might seek a better life in Europe. To persuade them to stay, Turkey must change their legal status, provide opportunities, and give them access to services - and that's primarily what this deal is about.

"We do not expect anyone to guard our borders for us," European Council President Donald Tusk said in Brussels. "That can and should only be done by Europeans. But we expect a major step towards changing the rules of the game when it comes to stemming the migration flow that is coming to the EU via Turkey."
Without Ankara's commitment, EU efforts to stem the tide will fail. Yet, even with EU backing, is Turkey capable of stopping, or significantly slowing, the refugee departures? To reach Europe, particularly Greece, a refugee just needs $1,000 and a bit of luck.
It remains to be seen whether this deal will alter that calculation. Europe is putting its trust in Ankara, but Turkey's coastguard is understaffed, with officers working day-long shifts of late, according to recent reports. They seem largely unable to deal with the complex tasks at hand - dismantling smuggling networks, saving lives at sea, and housing arrested would-be migrants.
Also read: The EU's stinking refugee deal with Turkey
There have been signs of progress. Last week an Istanbul court issued arrest warrants for 16 people accused of smuggling migrants into Europe. Days earlier, at Istanbul's main airport, Turkey arrested and later deported eight Moroccans carrying documents that suggested they had planned to follow the migrant route into Europe and execute a terrorist attack.
Also, Turkish and Greek officials have agreed to collaborate on tracking smugglers near the border areas and increase cooperation between their respective coastguards.
"There is no recipe to make this stop," said Metin Corabatir, president of the Research Centre on Asylum and Migration, in Ankara last week. "It is really difficult to physically stop them, and as you take more preventive measures, people put themselves at greater risk."
If Turkey were to embrace its inner Australia and put its refugees on the fast track to asylum and potential citizenship, that could change the game. Erdogan has repeatedly lauded his country's generosity and facility in responding to the crush of refugees. "We have not closed our doors in the face of these refugees," he said at the Atlantic Council's recent energy summit in Istanbul. "We have opened our doors."
Turkey's president now has a chance to prove his country is willing to take the next step and make its guests feel at home. The clock is ticking.

Depleted LSU Tigers Embarrass Texas A&M with Texas Bowl Showing
Bruce Mikells Published: January 5, 2022
ESPN College Football via YouTube
Hold on a minute. LSU didn't play Texas A&M in last night's Tax Act Texas Bowl, they played Kansas State. I know, I can sense your confusion. But, I can explain.
First, let's talk about the game last night. It wasn't the kind of performance that we are used to seeing from LSU but then again it was what most of us expected. The TIgers who have been depleted by a coaching change, transfers, opt-outs, COVID, and just about every other issue showed up in Houston last night and were defeated.
The final score was Kansas State 42 - LSU 20. In that game, the Tigers had a lot of players playing out of position, including Jontre Kirklin at quarterback. The senior for the Tigers has played cornerback, wide receiver, and done a stint or two in the "wildcat" position too.
In last night's Texas Bowl Kirklin threw for three touchdowns. This puts him in some pretty elite company at LSU. Only Joe Burrow and Matt Flynn have accomplished that feat in a bowl game. So, good for Kirklin who graduated from LSU in December.
Here's how the game unfolded if you didn't get the chance or were just too squeamish to watch. And we would be wrong for not congratulating Kansas State on a great game and a great season. You made your fan base proud.
So how did LSU getting beat by Kansas State embarrass Texas A&M? The Tigers did it by showing up. LSU played last night's game with only 39 scholarship athletes in uniform. That's quite a few less than the Tigers or any other big-time college program shows up with to play a game.
Another SEC school, Texas A&M faced similar issues but declined to field a team for the Gator Bowl. Instead, the yellow-bellied Aggies and their overpaid-hasn't-really-won-anything coach Jimbo Fisher turned tail and ran when faced with the daunting task of taking on Wake Forest in that game.
Texas A&M University via YouTube
The Aggies boast of being "the Home of the 12th Man". Once upon a time that might have been true. Because apparently there was a time when an Aggie fan came out of the stands to join the football team to help them finish a game.
According to the actions of Coach Fisher, A&M should be forced to change that "home of the 12th man" slogan to "home of the available scholarship athletes". Because a lack of scholarship athletes is why A&M wussed out on the Gator Bowl.
Now before you, Aggie fans start shooting the messenger let me tell you this. My Dad got his PHD from A&M, so did my Uncle in fact he was a professor at the university for decades. When I spoke to my Uncle over the holidays he was extremely upset that the Aggies didn't have the cajones to show up and at least make the effort in the Gator Bowl.
Meanwhile, LSU with all their distractions, an interim head coach, and a lot of uncertainty still showed up and took their lickin'. I guess that's the difference between an "available scholarship athlete" and a man. And for the Tiger players that did take the field last night. Five out of five stars would support you again.

Thanet council clears St George's graveyard site after homeless group leaves – but now it looks like this again
November 21, 2018 Kathy Bailes News 9
Thanet council has now cleared the graveyard at St George's Photo Trevor Shonk
Thanet council cleared mess left behind by rough sleepers in St George's Church graveyard in Ramsgate on Friday – but just days later this is how it looks.
The group, who had pitched around six tents on the site, left the graveyard following a fire on November 12 when a man's tent 'exploded' in what is thought to have been an accident with a camping gas bottle. No-one was injured. Council workers attempted a clear up but the site is again a mess with rubbish strewn across the graveyard.
Ramsgate mayor Trevor Shonk said he visited police following the fire to make sure it was not an arson attempt targeting those sleeping on the streets.
He says a flurry of criticism that he was reporting the group was unwarranted.
He said: "I have dropped food for them and my clean clothes. The reason I went to the police was to make sure someone hadn't fire bombed them.
"I wanted to find out how and why the fire started and check their welfare. I was told officers are awaiting a report on the matter from the fire brigade.
"It is very easy for people to knock me but I know what I do for all homeless. Every year I give money to the Salvation Army and to the Sailors' Church for Christmas dinners.
"I also called Thanet council to clear the site for health and safety reasons."
Trevor Shonk
The group had been sleeping in the graveyard for many weeks after the church gave permission for one man to stay there. There have been complaints from residents of intimidating and antisocial behaviour. St George's Church was involved with trying to find accommodation for group.
Thanet Winter Shelter scheme, which runs from November to March and offers beds, advice and practical help, food and cleaning facilities for people living rough, opened its doors on Monday.
The scheme takes place at different isle churches throughout the four month period.

Ramsgate resident
Shame Shonk doesn't clean up the rest of Ramsgate. It's a dump. Shonk has done nothing for Ramsgate except things that benefit his own gains…waste of space…..
Well never mind Ramsgate Resident. Why don't you become mayor and show what you can do.
What we can do is not vote for Trevor Shonk.
If I were to walk in there and see someone sleeping across my family members grave I would physically remove them. They have no respect.
What would you do if you saw someone allowing their dog to crap on someone's grave?
Marva Rees
I doubt if you would actually try to remove a sleeping person. What is the point of doing so? There are few safe places for homeless people to sleep out-of-doors and the fact that so many people are in such a situation speaks volumes for the shortcomings of our society.
The commercialization of Christmas is a grossdisgusting travesty of an ancient pagan and Christian religious festival. If a church cemetery can't be a sort of sanctuary, then what can?
Kent Resident
That is sacrilege of a sacred resting place. I don't believe even homeless people need to have such disregard for the sanctuary they are given. A bible lies neglected on the ground amongst the rubbish strewn all over and one of the gravestones is now destroyed too. My goodness, we want to help them but they make it hard for us. Nobody should be without a home in the UK, but some people actually live like this and will not be first on the list to be offered permanent accommodation. The grace of those giving up their time serving the homeless can be misplaced on some but that doesn't mean they should stop altogether. Maybe our Tory government should divert more money away from other schemes to help put right the mess they have got wrong with Universal Credit, sanctions and fake assessments! The death rates of vulnerable people associated with cuts to benefits has shot up over the period since these changes took place after the Tories got into power.
Kent Resident – The welfare of the living takes precedence over the welfare of rotten corpses. ALWAYS.
Yes Callum the living are important, however there should still be respect for the dead.

Paul Mit And Andrew Severin, Co-Founders Of FlowMapp- A Cutting-Edge Full Stack UX Platform Built Without Seed Funding
Be one of the first to comment
by AsiaTechDaily Writer
PUBLISHED: April 23, 2020 UPDATED: April 24, 2020
in Interviews, Product Launching
Paul Mit And Andrew Severin are co-founders of FlowMapp, a cutting edge full stack UX platform. It helps to design exceptional UX for beautiful products, websites, and apps with the online collaborative tools.
Digital agency Brandivision has been successfully operating on the website development and digital design market for 5 years when the team faced the problem. They couldn't find a suitable tool to build a sitemap for their client's projects. At the time, all the available services were unable to provide the required functionality, did not satisfy the development needs, and were just awkward to use. So that's when the idea of FlowMapp began, and Brandivision ended.
It took a year for the team to switch for product development and start to work on an international startup. Tools that were used by more than 120 000 designers from 150 countries, including product teams of Intel, InVision, Isobar, Kontrapunkt, Accenture, Peugeot, Unicef, Pega.
In an exclusive interview with AsiaTechDaily, Andrew and Paul say:
The big mistake is the unwillingness to do routine things such as financial reporting, tax payments, legal documentation.
At first, it might seem incomprehensible, but it isn't mandatory to deep dive into it. You should understand it in general – it is always possible to use some help from an outside expert.
Hiring too many people from the start is a mistake too.
It is important to determine priorities and directions of development for the company and to close positions precisely while monitoring the company's bills and trying no to inflate spendings.
Read on to know more about Andrew and Paul and how they managed to build up a startup without seed funding.
Please tell me about your personal background, and what are you working on currently?
Andrew Severin: Hey! I'm in design for more than 10 years, studied UI/UX Design in BMSTU (Bauman Moscow State Technical University). I started like most other guys as a freelancer. In 2012 founded a web-studio where we created awesome websites and branding and, over time went Top-50 best production and outsource companies in Russia. Since 2017 I'm working on FlowMapp as CEO.
Paul Mit: Finally, I can proudly answer the question, "What are you working on currently?" that I dedicate all of my time to grow up our FlowMapp startup. But Andrew and I still remember the time when it was just a «side project.»
My background is pretty diverse — I worked in big international corporations such as Yandex and MediaCom WPP, along with small digital agencies. I came to product development from the world of marketing and advertising. I have a tech, and economic education also graduated from the «British Higher School of Art & Design.»
What motivated you to get started with your company?
Andrew Severin: I have never wanted and never liked to be an employee. As I mentioned, I founded my first company in 2012, and in a few years of working as a digital-production studio, we realized that we are not satisfied with software in the field of website design, which in the time was commonly used in the industry. So that is how we decided to create our product for the visual designing of digital products and services — Flowmapp. It wasn't an easy task because we didn't attract any investments, but it wasn't a problem rather that additional motivation. To launch a startup on your funds and with it take a good position among competitors, receive hundreds of thousands of users — this is a real drive and indescribable emotions!
Paul Mit: In total, I launched 5 failed startups, so I always had this urge to create my own company. My primary motivation came from the dissatisfaction of the world around me and the idea of making it a bit better.
Working in big companies opens up a lot of opportunities, but here is the other side of the coin – you can see a lot of things that can be improved, but because of corporate structures, you're not allowed to affect many of them. Therefore the primary motivation is control over the product and the processes multiplied by the desire to be involved in creating something new.
How have you attracted users and grown your company from the start?
Paul Mit: We are absolute advocates of organic growth and conception of Product Led Growth.
Andrew Severin: Here is what we did to find our first users:
We shared our launch with friends, acquaintances, and just people we know.
We launched on Product Hunt to reach the startup community (became the TOP-3 product of the day).
We sent cold requests to the target audience(companies).
It was registered in free catalogs and classifiers of new services.
Our first articles and landings are written to promote the CEO.
We were in touch with the first users and asked them to share us with their communities.
What's your business model, and how have you grown your revenue? What strategy worked best?
Paul Mit: We did not invent any revolutionary business model; we are working on a classic SaaS model with providing Freemium access along with the opportunity to use a free trial.
It's our deliberate decision to allow users to use our product for free. We also created a convenient opportunity to cancel a subscription in case a team or a user decided to take a break for somewhat reason. If so, all the data and projects get saved in our system. And it is always possible to return to them.
It allows us to increase the loyal part of the audience.
Andrew Severin: Our advice is: stick to the path of the maximum openness rather than the path of limitation.
How much money (funding) have you raised in total so far? When was the recent funding round? (Additionally, any plan for the future?)
Paul Mit: Ok, give me a minute to calculate, '0'. We didn't use any funds, although some offerings were received. It is our own decision and strategic thinking. We have some plans to attract investments for scaling, but it will happen only when time is right and the product developed enough.
To be honest, we're not too thrilled about some principles of the venture capital industry and seed funding. We're trying to orient on the history of companies that have created great products and still control them: Mailchimp, Hotjar, Shopify, ShutterStock, Behance, Grammarly, and 37signals, of course.
Take a look at them. It's when money is a greater evil for an early development stage for a startup rather than a good thing.
What are some marketing tips to help maximize the success of a product launch?
Andrew Severin:
First of all, make a research on the target audience for your product.
Compile an abundant offer as accurately as possible, no wishy-washy.
Don't spend money on advertising before you checked all the available free channels of user acquisition.
Find the place (community) where your target audience lives and become their "guy."
Try to connect with influencers in your niche to get some public reviews for your product.
Warm-up an interest in your product before launch (beta test with limited invites, accounts in social media where you will post your development progress).
What is a good product launch checklist?
Paul Mit:
Your MVP is working.
Product landing describes its value and functionality.
You have a convenient channel to chat with users.
You have support in advance and interest from the community.
You have a clear vision of future development and a year roadmap.
Good luck 🚀
What's the hardest thing about product launches?
Andrew Severin: The hardest thing is to decide when your product is ready for launch.
Release it too early to demonstrate not fully functional product, but pivot it in time and save resources? Or delay the launch and polish the product just to learn after release that your it is not engaging in its current state against your expectations? You should decide what's essential and what's not and don't delay too much!
Paul Mit: The hardest things is in the field of strategy rather than in tactical steps:
Keep your focus.
Prioritize your tasks accurately, not cling for everything that occurs on your way. You should always keep in mind what is really important at the early stage of development and what is possible to put off for later development stages.
What are the most common mistakes founders make when they start a company? (or What should all first-time startup founders know before they start their business?)
Andrew Severin: The big mistake is the unwillingness to do routine things such as financial reporting, tax payments, legal documentation.
Paul Mit: The top of my favorite mistakes include:
Lack of preliminary feedback from the target audience of a product. It'd better be done while you are on the stage of an idea before development. Trust me, 5 conversations with your future users can change the composition of your MVP for 80%.
Competitive orientation. There is always the temptation to do this, but it will only distract you.
Spending your time to attract money from investors rather than spending time to draw money from clients.
Not to chat with leaving users. These guys can tell you a lot of useful things.
Listen to everyone.
Listen to nobody.
What do most startups get wrong about marketing?
Paul Mit: The biggest problem of marketing — it isn't necessary for startup. Startups need growth hacking.
Andrew Severin: Well, you never spoke a more accurate word.
What's the best advice you've ever received? And What advice do you have for someone who is interested in doing similar things like yours or in a similar direction?
Andrew: "Screw It, Let's Do It" (by Richard Branson), and his " There's no time like the present, no better day than today, or no righter time than right now."
Paul: «Erase all and do it again.» I use it often. It is beneficial.
What are the one or two things that you would do differently if you could go back to 10 years ago?
Paul Mit: No way!
Andrew Severin: Everything goes as its course, and I think I wouldn't change anything if I went for 10 years into the past. I'd start to sport earlier, though.

Cold and flu season is officially here. Dentist in Newberg Dr. Jennifer McLeod and her team at Newberg Family Dental understand how important it is for patients of all ages to stay healthy during this time of year. As leaves turn colors and fall from the trees, consider these head to toe tips to keep the cold away!
Keeping germs away from your head – and especially your face – is a simple and effective way to stay healthy during this cold and flu season. Cold and flu viruses spread through the air and from surfaces. Avoid touching your face, especially your mouth, nose and eyes in order to keep those germs from spreading to you!
If you are already experiencing symptoms, be considerate of others and cover your nose and mouth when sneezing or coughing. The best way to prevent the spread of germs is to cough or sneeze into the crook of your elbow to avoid getting germs on your hands and then spreading them onto surfaces. Use tissues that you can then discard in the trash to help keep germs from getting on your hands.
Another essential way to keep germs off your hands is to wash them frequently throughout the day. Using soap and warm water, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds at a time. While alcohol-based sanitizers are good for those times when there is no access to soap and water, it's important to use them in conjunction with frequent hand washing.
There's a reason why the saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," is so popular. A diet full of whole foods can keep your whole body working at its best to fight germs. Stick with a diet that's full of fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, legumes, and lean protein sources to keep your body running smoothly and at its healthiest. Foods like these are full of nutrients to help your body naturally fight disease.
Falling to sickness can sometimes happen when we don't get enough sleep. If you don't have an early bedtime, it's time to start. The nights are getting longer and it's getting darker outside earlier, which makes this a prime environment for some extra shut-eye. Work on getting a full 8 hours of sleep per night to keep your body in shape to fight the cold and flu germs!
Last but not least, treat those legs and feet to some exercise and then some pampering. Your well-rested, well-fed body will be ready for a good workout. Put on some athletic shoes and start moving a little bit each day. Try a 30-minute walk during your lunch break at work or right after dinner. The exercise will help keep everything in balance as you avoid germs this cold and flu season.
To help your body stay healthy and strong, schedule an appointment with Newberg dentist Dr. Jennifer McLeod. Call Newberg Family Dental at t (503) 278-4281 for your personal appointment!

Updated: Revised plans for redevelopment of derelict hotel
by Lisa Reeves
Tuesday 2nd October 2018
Tue 2nd Oct 2018
New plans to demolish the County Hotel, which has remained vacant since its closure in November 2009, and redevelop the site have been submitted to Cheshire East Council.
Permission had previously been sought to demolish the existing three storey building and erect three residential blocks containing 26 two bedroom apartments at the Harden Park site, which lies within within the North Cheshire Green Belt.
The application was initially scheduled to be determined by the Northern Planning Committee in May but it was withdrawn from the agenda to allow officers more time to discuss potential affordable provision - which was the main reason the Planning Officer was recommending it for refusal.
The application was then considered at the June meeting of the Northern Planning Committee, when Mr P Wakefield, Principal Planning Officer, reported that information had now been received to enable the calculation of the developer's financial contribution for the off-site provision of affordable housing, which amounted to approximately £600,000.
However, the applicant had stated that there was a viability issue associated with the development site and only approximately £300,000 was available for a contribution towards off-site affordable housing.
As a result the application was deferred again so an appraisal of the viability report could be carried out along with an investigation of the options for a pedestrian crossing to Wilmslow Road.
It has since been withdrawn and a revised scheme submitted.
Jamie Hall Projects Director at Hall & Co Property explained "The previous scheme was recommended for approval on the planning committee agenda of 6th June 2018, but in the background we had been undertaking ongoing viability work to ensure that any planning approval is commercially deliverable to enable this long time vacant site to be redeveloped."
Following discussions with Cheshire East, revisions have been made and the proposals are now formally resubmitted. Hall & Co Property are seeking planning permission for the demolition of the existing hotel building and erection of two residential blocks, consisting of 22 apartments and 4 townhouses, together with parking, landscaping and associated works,
Changes from the earlier scheme include: reduced height of the buildings; reduced floorspace; setting back of the townhouse block to create a more open aspect; relocation of the bin stores away from the front of the buildings and the creation of a pedestrian refuge on Alderley Road."
Jamie Hall Projects Director said "These amendments enhance the proposals from the previous scheme and also address some of the comments made by nearby residents on the previous scheme, this proposal has produced a scheme that is viable and will secure the redevelopment of the site upon receipt of planning permission."
Updated 5th October - The planning application can now been viewed on Cheshire East Council's planning portal by searching for planning reference 18/4867M.

Many of you have asked for a tutorial on how to create the image that is on the cover of the 2009 What?s New Brochure. We are pleased to offer a tutorial in our online training library which can be found at http://www.nemetschek.net/training/free_resource.php While you are there I hope you will take the opportunity to look at some of our other free tutorials.
Based on the excitement over the image, we would like to offer some background how it was created. Richard Gue, a recent addition to our CAD Consultant team created this image. We challenged him as a new employee to create a stunning image that displayed the power of Vectorworks. After only using Vectorworks for 3 weeks he presented us with the image you have seen. When you see the tutorial you may be surprised to learn that the basic image was created with only 12 steps, and in less than 5 minutes. The tutorial does not go through the final rendering or background additions, but in less than 30 minutes Richard, a new user, created the final image, a stunning example of using simple techniques in Vectorworks to create powerful designs.
We hope you find the tutorial useful and appreciate your excitement over the image.
I believe step 9 needs more clarification as I am not able to get the same selection "S" line connecting to the same points as in the example... apart from that it works!

Egypt Retain World Junior Title
July 18, 2012 admin All News, Juniors, Middle East, World Champs
In today's fifth successive meeting in the climax of the biennial World Squash Federation event, it was favourites Egypt who again triumphed over second seeds Pakistan in the final of the Doha WSF Men's World Junior Team Squash Championship at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex in the Qatar capital Doha to retain the title.
First up was Egypt's Mazen Hesham Ga Sabry, an individual quarter-finalist, against the younger of the two Bokhari brothers in the Pakistani squad. Syed Ali Shah Bokhari made a great start, taking an early lead and winning the first game, but once his Egyptian opponent found his range he became increasingly dominant as he took the next three games to give Egypt the lead 7-11, 11-8, 11-5, 11-6.
The second match was the top string battle between Marwan El Shorbagy and Nasir Iqbal – a repeat of the individual quarter-final, won by Egyptian El Shorbagy en-route to securing the individual title for the second time in a row.
Again the Pakistani made a good start, but Shorbagy patiently pegged back the early lead, then closed out the game from nine-all. As in the earlier match, the tide flowed the Egyptian way thereafter, Shorbagy seemingly having the answer for everything Iqbal tried as he won 11-9, 11-7, 11-6 in 39 minutes to keep the world team title in Egyptian hands.
"This is our second title in a row," said a delighted Egyptian National Coach Amir Wagih. "Both the players today played really well – Mazen played a solid match and Marwan played a perfect match!
"Those two tournament titles, both individuals and team event, are very important for Egypt. The two weeks have been long, the team has done a fantastic job, well done to them.
"We promised we would come back to our country with the cups, and that's what we are doing. I'm so proud of my team!"
The result sees Marwan finishing his junior career on a high – and the 18-year-old from Alexandria was naturally delighted: "I'm so happy Egypt has won the title again, and as for myself, winning this title again, with a different team, is such an honour. We've been working hard to be able to have such a result, and it's a small gift we are making for our country.
"Today, I played my best squash at last, I must have relaxed a bit, and when you are representing and playing for your country, it's a completely different thing. I'm so happy we get to keep this title in Egypt, and so proud I was able to win two individual titles too.
"We would like to thank our Federation, for the support they are giving us, and our National Coach Amir – and of course the Qatari Federation for organising this superb event, for the welcome they offered us, and for the hard work the Qatar Team has produced these two weeks. Thank you, Qatar!"
The opening tie on the glass court saw India claim their highest-ever finish after upsetting third seeds and former championsEngland 2/0.
"We've done today what no other Indian men's team ever done before," said an ecstatic Indian national coach Cyrus Poncha. "And this is also the first time ever a men's team has beaten England.
"It was an outstanding performance. We have had great teams in the past – notably our 2004 and 2008 teams – but this team has eclipsed them all. It is truly a proud moment for Indian squash."
Elsewhere in the playoffs, Japan lost out to Asian neighbours Hong Kong China in the play-off for fifth place – Hong Kong's highest finish – but 13/18 seeds Japan will go home on the back of a massive best-ever performance.
Eighth seeds Canada celebrated a nail-biting 2/1 win over rivals USA for 7th place.
Brazil lost out to Germany in the play-off for 11th place – but will be delighted with an unexpected best-ever 12th place finish – while Iraq and hosts Qatar can reflect well on maiden appearances that saw them finish strongly, in 21st and 19th places, respectively.

Wine's Science Revealed
By Janet Eastman
Consider the oak barrel. It stores, ages, flavors wine, and that's about the extent of most of our barrel knowledge. Phil Burton wants to change that. He's been working for Barrel Builders in Calistoga, CA. since 1975 and he'll be one of the presenters at the Science of Wine, three days of wine education May 6-8 in Ashland.
May 7, Burton will explain where the world's oak comes from, how it differs and why it costs $1,000 for a French barrel. Then he'll reconstruct a barrel before the audience's eyes. "Building one from scratch is messy, noisy and requires a fire," Burton says. "I will bring a finished barrel in pieces and put it together in about 20 minutes."
He's prepared to answer anything from "Are all barrels made of wood?" to "Can you discuss the development of trans-lactones during toasting?" Afterward, there will be a wine and food reception.
Here's the lineup for the 7th Annual Science of Wine, which funds ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum's educational programs for 15,000 schoolchildren and teachers each year.
For more information, call (541) 482-6767 or go to www.scienceofwineashland.com.
6-10 p.m., Winemakers' Dinner at the Ashland Springs Hotel with each course introduced by the winemaker from Pebblestone Cellars, Red Lily Vineyards, RoxyAnn Winery, Trium, Wooldridge Creek Vineyard and Winery, and Velocity Wine Cellars. Fee: $85
6-9 p.m., lectures and reception at ScienceWorks Museum on barrel making by Phil Burton of Barrel Builders and biodynamic wines by Bill Steele of Cowhorn Vineyard & Garden. Fee: $40
6:30–11 p.m., Science of Wine Gala fundraiser with offerings by 15 wineries and 15 restaurants. Fee: $65


We have developed a new biofabrication process in which the precise control of bacterial motion is used to fabricate customizable networks of cellulose nanofibrils. This article describes how the motion of Acetobacter xylinum can be controlled by electric fields while the bacteria simultaneously produce nanocellulose, resulting in networks with aligned fibers. Since the electrolysis of water due to the application of electric fields produces the oxygen in the culture media far from the liquid-air boundary, aerobic cellulose production in 3D structures is readily achievable. Five separate sets of experiments were conducted to demonstrate the assembly of nanocellulose by A. xylinum in the presence of electric fields in micro-and macro-environments. This study demonstrates a new concept of bottom up material synthesis by the control of a biological assembly process.

Why are coloured gemstones so underrated?
In Australia, coloured gemstones often play second fiddle to diamonds, and outside the big three – ruby, sapphire and emerald – the knowledge of the general population is lacking. This is a problem because not only are customers missing out on an array of wonderful gemstones, retailers are missing many opportunities to make sales.
The classic example is opal: for years the average person thought of it as something that a tourist would purchase for $6 – or alternatively, was sold overseas for tens of thousands of dollars. However, artisan jewellers and the custom-make market has changed all that. Today there is a flourishing market for opal varieties such as boulder, pipe, fossil, crystal, plus standard white and black.
It's up to us, the experts, to change perceptions in a similar manner about other gemstones. So, let me set the record straight on a few of the most underrated stars.
The amount of times I've had people turn up their nose at zircon is off the charts! This is purely because the name sounds similar to cubic zirconia, so the customer thinks you are trying to sell them a synthetic.
It can be so bad, that once I had a jeweller with over thirty years experience tell me they weren't interested in zircon, because they didn't carry synthetics – at which point I politely informed them that was fine, because the tray of stones I was presenting came from an artisanal mine in the Northern Territory.
While zircon has an acceptable hardness of around seven, it is seen as less suitable for jewellery because it is less durable. But emerald, which has a tendency to chip, and pearls, which are soft and susceptible to chemical wear – are still widely used without protest.
"There is a growing trend to use a diamond cut on spinel to produce very attractive pieces, especially in lesser known colours such as grey and steel tones"
With a refractive index exceeding almost any other natural stone, and a range of hues from pure white to sultry mauves and pinks – not to mention the vivid blues produced with heat treatment – zircon can produce the most amazing sparkly gems.
Stones such as apatite, kyanite, fluorite and facet quality varieties of minerals like sunstone and moonstone have all been overlooked often, due to slightly lower durability. But these days, consumers are looking for something fresh and exciting; less durable gems, if set sympathetically and cared for properly, can fill this demand and usually at a fraction of the cost of other stones.
There are also more obscure stones creeping into the market. For those who have not seen a stunning teal or vivid electric blue apatite, it is definitely something to seek out.
Garnet is a durable and cost effective gemstone that also has good recognition with consumers. Most people think of garnets as orange-brown or very dark, wine coloured gems, yet green garnets like tsavorite and demantoid can be unbelievably beautiful.
Rhodolite garnet is also becoming more prominent: an amazing range of hues from the most intense pure violet, to almost candy like raspberry tones are now available – no longer only the dark ruddy purple it was often associated with. If that were not enough, it's also not uncommon to see colour-change garnet on the market. These make an excellent alternative for people looking for an affordable multi-hued stone.
I have also noticed a growing interest for raw gem material. As with the rise of opal, people are looking for organic, naturally styled jewellery, and this is the perfect avenue to use more obscure and interesting rough gems. If your customer shows an interest in less mainstream styles – why not show them a few more colour options?
The demand for deep red spinel in South East Asia is filtering down to Australia too. Another great looking gem with a refractive index and hardness approaching sapphire, there is a growing trend to use a diamond cut on spinel to produce very attractive pieces, especially in lesser known colours such as grey and steel tones. Encourage your customers to admire these combinations – if they don't know about them, they can't buy them!
I enjoy the teaching process, and the recognition a consumer gains when they come to me looking for, say, a standard blue sapphire, and end up with a steel blue spinel they never knew they would fall in love with. There really is an amazing world of coloured gemstones to be discovered which can provide beautiful, cost effective, and unique alternatives for gemstone jewellery. We just have to be willing to take the plunge; first ourselves – then to help our customers do it too.


Antidiarrheal medicine helps stop frequent loose bowel movements, called diarrhea.
You should not use antidiarrheal medicines in children unless recommended by your child's healthcare provider.
What is antidiarrheal medicine used for?
Antidiarrheal medicine helps stop frequent loose bowel movements, called diarrhea. It's common for most children to have diarrhea once in a while. Common causes include infections caused by bacteria or a virus, some foods, and stress. Diarrhea is one way that your child's body gets rid of an infection. You should not use antidiarrheal medicines in young children unless recommended by your child's healthcare provider.
Antispasmodic medicines that slow food down as it moves through the bowel. This gives the body more time to absorb water from food, which makes the stool firmer. Your child will also have fewer stools.
Many antidiarrheal medicines contain both a stool thickener and an antispasmodic medicine.

Does Nabisco still make Lemon Coolers cookies? (The ones covered in powdered sugar that had a light lemon taste.) My mom tried to find them after my dad requested them, but none of our stores have them anymore! Does anyone know a recipe for something similar? Thanks!
I finally found them. If you have a dollar general store in your area, they just started stocking them, the originals, too.
Im looking for the Lemon Coolers why would they stop making those!
Sunshine Lemon Coolers ceased to exist when Keebler acquired Sunshine Bakery, as most of us know.
controlling what we want or need. A boycott, blackmail if will, until they return Lemon Coolers and Hydrox.
Revolt, it has to start somewhere, the time is now. We are all the consumers after all!
I want Keebler to start making the Lemon Cooler Cookies!
I dont know where you live but over Christmas me and my family went to the Cracker Barrel in Allen I found they sell them there. So good!
Girl Scout Savannah Smiles are the closest I've found to the lemon coolers, since they are only available once a year I stock up!
This is one of my favorite cookies. Sometimes I add some of the lemonade powder to the cookie dough and add more to the powdered sugar to make them very lemony.
In a large bowl, cream together: sugars, shortening, egg, vanilla, and salt. Add the flour and baking powder. Add 1 Tbsp of water and continue mixing until dough forms a ball.
Roll dough into 3/4-inch balls and flatten slightly onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until light brown.
While cookies bake combine 1 cup powdered sugar with the lemonade powder in a large Ziploc bag and shake to mix. Remove cookies from the oven and put them in the Ziploc bag while they are still hot, shake until all cookies are coated.
Roll dough into 3/4-inch balls and flatten slightly onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until cookies are light brown.
As cookies bake, combine 1 cup powdered sugar with the lemonade drink mix in a large plastic bag and shake thoroughly to mix.
Loved those Sunshine lemon coolers. I found a cookie that is almost as good.
Love the Lemon Coolers - reminds me of childhood and eating way too many.
I have tried the Sweet William lemon cookies and they are really divine! They're more crumbly and tea cookie like than the LCs. No crunchy lemon bits, but I still couldn't help myself and had to have my folks hide them so I wouldn't eat their entire bag (and I'm not a food addict).
They bought theirs over the holidays at a SoCal Costco store, but my mom thinks they were a Christmas item. I concur since I haven't seen them in mine in NoCal. Supposedly Whole Foods might be carrying them depending on your area.
Enjoy! I'm off to Google them and see what happens.
I do love those Lemon Coolers. Found the Archway Iced Lemonade cookies just today and I am eating them right now as I type.


Thailand's Board of Investment (BOI) has set up a new incentive policy that prioritises remote areas and border regions in the country, according to the institutions secretary-general, Udom Wongwiwatchai.
"Investors in remote areas such as Mae Hong Son and Yasothon and the special economic areas in the three restive southernmost provinces and along border areas should be allowed to enjoy the highest privileges, such as corporate income tax exemption for eight years," he said.
He added the new investment incentive policy is scheduled to go before the board chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Kittiratt Na-Ranong in Mai, with implementation expected in July 2013.
The BPI plans to scrap the current emphasis on geographic zones. These would be replaced by new regional clusters that promote a concentration of investment, plus one-stop services.
There would also be a strong emphasis on border areas, with companies encouraged to build cross-border supply chains and develop regional clusters with Thailand's neighbours.
Incentives would be phased out for heavy industries, low-value-added industries, factories that cause environmental problems or consume a lot of energy, and concession and monopoly industries such as telecoms and concession roads.
Meanwhile, investments in the service sector, product champions and research and development would be given preferential treatment by the BOI.
The new policy will be aimed at 10 groups: primary infrastructure and logistics, primary industries, medical and science tools, alternative energy and environmental services, industrial promotion services, advanced technology, food and processed agricultural goods, hospitality and wellness, automotive and transportation, and electronic and electrical goods.
Udom also said that the BOI is also committed to encouraging Thai firms to invest overseas. It recently established the Thai Overseas Investment Support Centre to provide training to business operators wanting to invest abroad, focusing mainly on restaurants, hotels, health services, spas, automotive and parts, petrochemicals and mining, and construction.

Q; Does your Strum Buddy "Buzz" or "rattle" on the clean setting? Some pickups do create this sound.


Years 6 and 7 wowed their families, friends and staff on Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th March with their production of 'The Green Daydream Machine', written by our very own Musical Director Mr Tan.
Whilst being catapulted back in time, the school children met Cleopatra, Robert Kett and also saw the Queen's Coronation, before being transported back to the current day where they are faced with a History test which they ace!
We would like to say a big well done to all of Year 6 and 7 who took part, and a massive thank you to Miss Thompson, Mrs Galloway and Mr Tan for writing, organising and directing such a brilliant performance!

Google May Be Evil, but Not Wicked
By: Michael Hickins | April 02, 2009
Google just released an application for the G1 smartphone from HTC that helps sight-impaired people dial their phones. It turns out, of course, that the app is also popular among sighted people. I guess that proves the old saw that sometimes you can do well by doing good. But I don't
Google just released an application for the G1 smartphone from HTC that helps sight-impaired people dial their phones. It turns out, of course, that the app is also popular among sighted people. I guess that proves the old saw that sometimes you can do well by doing good.
But I don't think that was foremost in the minds of the developers who created the app -- one of them happens to be sight-impaired.
There's nothing new about big companies trying to show their softer side, and while corporate responsibility is just a buzzword to some, for many it's something demanded by shareholders and employees. There's nothing wrong with Microsoft trying to help bridge the digital divide, but in the back of your mind you know it's being done partly to protect Microsoft's potential markets in developing nations from incursions from open-source alternatives.
Google's health care initiative could get the company a little good PR, and you could even argue that anything that brings more users is good for Google, even if it never earns a nickel directly from the product. Call Google evil if you will. But I don't think you can call it wicked.

Q: Cannot access media files from woocommerce folder I have developed a addon of woocommerce to upload video as a downloadable product and the customer is able to view that video in a popup rather downloading it from My Account > Downloads area.
I am facing issue that when i am trying to load video uploaded in /wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_uploads/my-video.mp4, it gives me error of 403 i.e I don't have access to the file of the folder.
When i compared the file and folder permissions with the default folders of wp then i find that the folders and files inside woocommerce_uploads have same permission.
I searched for the solution but didn't find anything yet.
Can anyone suggest me that how i can access this file so that it will load inside a popup.

A: woocommerce_uploads . folder will be containing an .htaccess file with deny from all inside it, please remove those texts.

20,000 profiles is – thankfully – just one per cent of the total number of users of the app, but that will be little comfort for those who have had their information compromised.
The company says that credit and payment card information was encrypted, and was not compromised in the security breach.
However, victims who have had their passport details stolen may face serious consequences, as fraudsters could use the details to set up accounts with insurance firms, mobile phone operators, banks and the like if they do not require sight of the physical passport.
As a consequence, victims might find themselves with ruined credit scores and bills, from which it may take a considerable length of time to untangle themselves.
There is also a risk that a fraudster could use the stolen information to request a new physical passport. However, Air Canada says that the Canadian government describes that risk as "low" provided the genuine passport holder still has physical ownership of the document.
BBC News, however, raises the issue that Air Canada required account passwords to merely be between 6 and 10 characters, and could not contain symbols. That, in itself, goes against the Canadian government's own password advice.
However, it is not known if weak password policies played a part in the breach via Air Canada's mobile app. And Air Canada says it has toughened password requirements since the incident, and users will be prompted to choose a new password next time they access the app or website.
Air Canada does offer some sensible advice – reminding customers to keep a close eye on their financial transactions, to contact their financial services provider if they see any unusual activity, and to "be aware of any changes to their credit rating".

Office hours are Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
About the Assessing Department
The Assessing Department is responsible for the assessment (valuation) of properties in the city. The assessment ultimately determines the amount of property taxes for each property. This is accomplished by:
Inventorying and listing all properties within the city.
Equitably evaluate all properties at 50% of the *usual selling price".
Calculate the taxable value.
Every property within the city has a record card. Each owner is responsible for the review of this card for accuracy.
The record card contains:
Assessment/Taxable Value History Legal Description
Bathrooms Owner/Taxpayer Name and Address
Bedrooms Picture of Home
Building Permits Porches/Decks
Building Sketch Sales
Finished Basement Area Square Footage of Home
Assessment/Taxable Value Appeal Process
Assessment Notices
Assessment notices show changes in state-equalized value (SEV), assessed value (AV), and taxable value (TV). The notices are sent the middle of February every year. The dates and location for appeals are on the notice.
Following are the steps in the Appeal Process if you disagree with your Assessment:
March Board of Review
Michigan Tax Tribunal
The March Board of Review was created to be a board of local citizens who examine and review the assessments and taxable value as determined by the assessor. The Board of Review begins hearings of appeals by taxpayers on the second Monday in March. An appeal to the local Board of Review is mandatory before an appeal can be filed with the Michigan Tax Tribunal. The March Board of Review has the authority to:
Conduct hearing for taxpayers to protest their assessments and taxable value.
Correct errors in names, tax descriptions, and assessments.
Grant/deny poverty exemptions.
Recompute taxable value if allowed by State Law.
Sustain, increase, or decrease assessed value based on market data.
Appeals to the Board of Review are by appointment. The taxpayer will:
Provide completed appeal form
List sales of similar properties.
Recent appraisal (helpful).
Provide his/her opinion of value
Decisions of the March Board of Review are mailed to the taxpayers of record within two weeks of the close of the March Board of Review.
The tribunal is an administrative court that hears tax appeals for all Michigan taxes. Most of the tribunal's appeals involve property tax.
Taxpayers who have appealed to the Board of Review in March, and still believe that the SEV or TV of their property is not correct, may appeal to the Michigan Tax Tribunal in the same year as the assessment is made. The filing deadlines differ by the class of property:
Commercial, Industrial, or Utility Real and Personal Property: Deadline May 31 (no prior appeal to the Board of Review is required).
Residential, Agricultural, and All Other: Deadline July 31 (prior appeal to Board of Review is mandatory).
The Small Claims Division of the tribunal is available for the residential properties or other properties with lesser amounts of value in contention. These appeals are initiated by completing a petition form.
Entire tribunal appeal must be initiated by petition served on all parties in interest (assessor, city, county, school, etc.) with proof of service of the same. Any property valuation appeal may be filed with the entire tribunal which is a more formal venue. Filing fees much accompany non-homestead property appeals. The fee schedule is available on the Tribunal's website. Both letters of appeal and petitions must be timely filed for the tribunal to have jurisdiction to hear an appeal.
Applying for Poverty Exemption
Public Act 206 of the State of Michigan provides an exemption from taxation for homesteads of individuals in poverty. The Hardship Exemption Application is required to be filed with the Board of Review.The Board of Review grants the hardship exemption if the applicant meets specific criteria. The Board of Review follows the poverty exemption guidelines adopted by the City Council in making a determination. This criterion includes asset and income thresholds in addition to medical or extraordinary hardship situations. Please contact the City Assessor at 616 825 5006 for further information.
Principal Residence Exemption / Rescind
Conditional Rescission of Principal Residence Exemption (PRE)
Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) Affidavit
Owning means you hold the legal title to the principal residence or that you are currently buying it on a notarized or recorded land contract. Renters should not file this form.
Occupying
Occupying means this is your principal residence, or the place you intend to return to whenever you go away. It is the address that appears on your driver's license or voter registration card. You may have only one principal residence at a time. Vacation homes and income property which you do not occupy as your principal residence may not be claimed.
Rescinding Your Exemption
If you claim an exemption, then stop using it as a principal residence, you must notify your assessor within 90 days of the change or you may be penalized.
Interest and Penalty
If it is determined that you claimed property that is not your principal residence, you may be subject to the additional tax plus penalty and interest as determined under the Property Tax Act.
Conditional Rescission of Principal Residence Exemption
Homeowners who have moved to a new principal residence in Michigan and have their previous home for sale may qualify for a conditional rescission for up to three tax years.
To initially qualify for a Conditional Rescission for PRE, the application form must be filed with the Rockford Assessor's Office on or before June 1 or November 1 of the first year the exemption is claimed. Thereafter, the owner must annually submit this form on or before December 31, to verify to the assessor that the property for which the PRE is retained is not occupied, is for sale, is not leased, and is not used for any business or commercial purpose.
Request to Rescind Homeowner's Principal Residential Exemption
Request to Rescind Principal Residence Exemption (PRE)
The Request to Rescind PRE Exemption Form enables people who are selling or converting their home to another use (i.e., converted it to rental property, commercial use, or you have moved out but the property is not yet sold) to rescind their exemption. It also allows owners to change the percentage that they occupy as their principal residence. This form must be filed within 90 days of the change. This rescind becomes effective January 1 following the change of use of the property.
If you fail to rescind the exemption when the property no longer qualifies, you could be billed for additional taxes, penalty, and interest by the state, county, or local treasurer.
The Property Transfer Affidavit is used to inform the assessor of the transfer (sale, inheritance, etc.) of property. The Property Transfer Affidavit is a result of the Proposal A reforms which 'caps', or limits, the rate of increase of your property's "taxable value" (the value used to calculate your tax bill). The taxable value cannot rise faster than the rate of inflation (excepting value added through additions or deletion to the property) until the property is transferred. In the tax year following the transfer of the property, the taxable value will "uncap" and become equal to the "assessed value". Assessed value is one-half of the Assessor's estimate of the market value of your property. The law now requires the transferee (buyer, inheritor, etc.) to file this form within 45 days of the transfer in order to ensure that this "uncapping" adjustment is made on all transferred property.
Failure to file a Property Transfer Affidavit can have serious consequences. If several years have elapsed when the transfer is discovered, you could be billed for all additional tax which should have been levied each year since the time the uncapping would normally have occurred, including penalty and interest.

What makes this idea work is you could insert costlier, good quality tiles into your bathroom design that will complement and improve it without breaking the bank. However, for real luxury you need to take a look at a bathroom tile design in marble and although expensive, 25 Pictures French Bedroom Designs actually is the very best flooring you may get. If value is an option then there are ways in which you can have the better of each worlds by having the principle design made up of a bathroom tile that is moderately priced. Personally, I like a harlequin bathroom design in black and white because the diamond form of the sample actually yields nicely to the stark contrast of the extreme colors. Layer textured patterns that pull the ensemble along with repeated colours and shapes, contrasting accents, and distinctive fabrics in a combination of pillow shams, comfortable throws and throw pillows.
Fragrant candles add one other layer of sensuality in pleasing scents like vanilla, musk, honeysuckle or sandalwood. Even if the room is carpeted, a mushy thick space rug will accent the decor, add coloration and curiosity to the room and provide another layer of wonderful romance. A bathroom will look clean and shiny, and by including a chrome tub and shower faucet to the combination will give the realm a recent, shimmering glow which is ideal for the bath space. For those of you that can't image the harlequin bathroom tile, think about black and white squares turned on their edge to resemble a diamond form. You could waste more tiles than you anticipate but will the outcome look as good? Often these tiles are oblong shaped and appear to resemble the costume of a mime if you possibly can recall what that appears like. Compromise with subtly patterned bedding made from sumptuous fabrics like satin, velour and micro suede.
Sheer panels that puddle on the floor create a tender cloud like environment. For a full looking therapy, the width of combined panels should equal two to three times the width of the window. Top off the panels with a decorative rod and scarf valances that let you create many seems to be. Red is the shade of ardour and doses of pink, whether or not on the walls, or in accessories, will heat up the ambiance. Or select a neutral shade of taupe for the walls, and accent with crimson in the bedding and bedding equipment. A impartial shade on the partitions provides you the choice of making a room accented by any coloration, from passionate purple to subtle blue or soothing inexperienced. In case your room is smaller and would appear claustrophobic if all walls were painted in deep crimson, attempt deep crimson on a focal wall and a lighter complementary shade on one other wall.
From crystal encrusted frames, to beveled glass, elaborate wood carvings or textured stone, you'll discover a wall mirror that is an ideal complement to your room. Look to your bedding and accessory decisions and choose window therapies that complement those fabrics. Soft candlelight is an easy-to-add accessory that provides immediate romance. While romantic floral patterns often appeal to girls, they will feel too 'frilly' for a lot of males, and your most vital consideration is to choose bedding that's mushy, luxurious and inviting. Choose bedding fabrics and patterns that enchantment to you and your companion. A wall mirror will make the room really feel brighter and more spacious and the huge array of types out there will help you accessorize your chosen model. Group fragrant candles on a mirrored tray set on a bedside table or dresser and add extra drama with elegant candle wall sconces.
