Finding time; the ultimate guide for freelancers with kids — Clarified.
I thought it would be easy. Well maybe not easy. But not quite this tough.
Over the last 10 years I've built a successful holiday let business. Before that, a small web development business.
I've read every book on productivity. Including Tim Ferriss's fantastic 4-Hour Work Week. And Dave Allen's productivity bible, Getting Things Done.
And then I became a foster carer. One morning, I woke up to the realisation that it was no longer just me and the dog. I was responsible for three, amazing, incredible children. And then all the productivity advice became a bit obsolete!
Since the kids arrived, I've had to rethink everything. Here's why. With an overview of what my days look like now. And a list of top tips for finding time.
Think. Why are you doing this?
Looking after three kids could easily fill all of my time. And some days it absolutely does.
But I also run a conversion optimisation agency.
I do it for my own sanity. I do it to ensure my brain can cope with more than packing lunches and ironing. I do it because I love it. But mostly I do it to set an example for these three kids.
Kids don't do what they're told. They do what they see us doing.
Look after yourself. Stay in shape. Sleep well. Eat well. Work hard. And your kids will do the same.
So if you want your kids to work hard, look after themselves, sleep well, and eat well... the easiest way to achieve this is by doing it yourself.
The way you spend your time should be based on your priorities. Putting your kids to bed, helping them with their homework, watching them play football. That's why we do this. And so your days should be organised in a way that lets you do all these things. Guilt-free.
6:00AM: I'm up. I've tried getting up earlier, but this wakes my youngest. I don't use my phone or laptop until the kids are at school. With three kids to get ready, my mornings are busy enough.
8:30AM: Walk with the kids to school.
9:00AM: Get back home. I have my Nutribullet smoothie.
9:30AM: By this time I'm either heading for the office, or the gym (depending on the day).
10:00AM: Work can finally begin! I use this time for Deep Work.
1:00/2:00PM: I'll leave the office depending on what's for tea, whether I need to stop at the shop, etc. Once I'm home, I'll have some lunch.
9PM: Eldest is off to bed. I'll do another hour of work. Then I start winding down. Give the house a quick tidy. Organise the kitchen. Sort out some laundry.
10:30PM: I'm in bed. I'll read for a bit if I'm not too exhausted.
This isn't the way you should do things! Your ideal schedule probably won't look anything like this. But what's important is that you think about how you organise your day. Base it on when you get your best work done. And think about what would work best for your family.
There aren't many working hours available when you've got kids. But there is time. And if that time is used productively, then it is possible for you to get more done than many people with full-time jobs.
And now, time for the hacks that make this all possible.
It all starts here. Seriously.
When it's all going wrong, as it does from time to time, I take things back to basics. This is a huge life leverage tactic for me.
The statistics are worrying. For adults and kids. We need more sleep. And getting plenty of sleep makes everything so much easier. It makes us perform better. It makes us happier. It even makes us healthier. Right now, and in the long run.
Bedtimes aren't just for the kids. Set them for yourself too. And stick to them!
The last hour of the day should be a screen-free zone. No laptops or phones. If you have to, make sure you have something like Night Shift set up and the brightness turned right down.
Implement a no phones in the bedroom rule. I leave my phone charging in the kitchen. If you're reluctant because you use it as an alarm clock, that's not a good enough excuse.
Don't drink alcohol. OK, so I'm loosing about 90% of people here, I know. But if you want a great night's sleep, don't drink.
I had a little health scare several years back. One very positive outcome was seeing a nutritionist.
Keep notes of your favourite meals. I use the Bear Notes app to save all my favourite recipes, including the ingredients. I can just copy and paste the ingredients when creating my shopping lists. And I tick off the things I already have.
Batch your shopping. More on this below.
Food processor. Great for quickly chopping veg. Ideal for feeding the kids veg by stealth!
Nutribullet blender. I use this every morning. Ideal for feeding yourself all the good stuff by stealth!
Soup maker. Chuck stuff in. 30 minutes later you have a healthy lunch for today, and the next few days too. I'm still trying to convince the kids that soup isn't completely disgusting.
Slow cooker. I wasn't convinced on this. My mum insisted it was brilliant. I didn't listen. So she bought me one for Christmas one year. I used it so much that I ended up buying a bigger one.
Use your diary. Each Sunday I plan our evening meals (and my lunches) for the week ahead. I'm a little more relaxed on the weekends. I start by writing the school dinners for each day (to avoid a day of Spaghetti Bolognese overload!). I use Bear to choose what we'll have. And I create my shopping list.
Online shopping. I've never got on with food shopping online. I'm not sure why. But when I asked fellow freelancers, lots of them raved about it. I'm including it here because it clearly works for many people.
3. Be clear about when you're not working.
When I'm working, I feel guilty that I'm not doing stuff for the kids. Or spending time with them.
When I'm spending time with the kids, I feel guilty about those emails I haven't replied to.
However, setting clear boundaries is one of the best ways to reduce this guilt.
Between school pick-up, and my youngest going to bed, I avoid using my laptop or my phone. I'm just there for the kids. If they're happily watching TV, playing, or at one of their 10 (yes, 10!!) after-school activities, then I will tidy the house, sort out tea, do some ironing, etc.
My biggest luxury is an office. A twenty minute drive away from the house.
This might seem like an odd decision. I'm already working with limited time. Spending some of it commuting (when I could just work from home) looks like a backwards step. But I highly recommend it.
I have a private office at a fantastic coworking space in South Wales. It really helps with my point above, helps you take your business seriously, and (depending where you work) can be a fantastic way to top into an incredible network of fellow freelancers.
If you don't, your work will suffer. Your kids will suffer. And so will you.
The typical recommendation is to run a nice bath. Take a book in there with you. And a glass of wine. But just go do something that's a luxury for you. Only you will know what that could be.
I go to the gym. Three times a week. It's something that's just for me. And it's good for me. Which helps justify the time it takes up each week.
TIP: Accountability. I train in a group class at the gym. I need to book in advance. And if I don't go, I still have to pay. This keeps me accountable. And means I almost never miss a session.
6. Outsource your cleaning and your accounting.
Outsourcing isn't a revolutionary idea. If you want more time, get other people to do stuff for you.
Hiring a cleaner was such a good decision. Chris is here for 2 hours each week, and gets more done than I could do in double the time. With the 4+ hours I save each week, I earn more than what it costs me. Plus the house stays clean (or rather, doesn't get too out of control!). And I feel less guilty about working when I could be cleaning the house.
I've also got a gardener. This was a slightly tougher decision as I enjoy gardening. However, I'm not very good at it. And finding the time for it was always a challenge. The compromise is that Rich just comes along when I need his help. And I can deal with maintaining the garden (which I mainly do when the sun is shining!).
The financial side of my business falls into both 'don't enjoy' and 'completely rubbish at' categories. For a small business, outsourcing my accounting is a large overhead to commit too. But it's one that pays off for me.
Think about what you can outsource. Think about what you're no good at. Start with the things that fit into both those categories.
7. Get help with childcare.
This is the response I usually get when I tell people what I do. And then comes the guilt. Because the honest answer is I can't. Nobody can. It's impossible.
I can only do what I do because of the amazing support network I have around me. Don't be afraid to ask for help from those willing to give it. This could be anything from the occasional school pick-up by a relative, to a childminder a few times a week.
Quite a general one, I know. But there are a few tools I wanted to mention, as they're things I couldn't live without.
Todoist is my virtual to-do list of choice. It's brilliant. I recommend it to everyone I meet. Getting organised on this helps keep my head clear. And it's a huge factor in being able to do focussed, productive work - making the most of that limited time each week.
Notebooks, and loads of them. I keep one next to my bed. One in my bag for work. One in the car. If something work related pops into my head, I don't need to get my phone out. But I can remain present by writing it down and removing the worry that I'll forget about it.
Not sure where your time is disappearing? Try tracking it. Toggl is a great tool for this.
Another tool I rave about all the time is Pocket. I previously wrote about how it is my inbox lifesaver. It's an essential tool for me ensuring I stay productive and avoid distractions.
9. Batch similar jobs together.
Drive to the supermarket. Buy bread. Get home. Check some emails. Then drive back to the supermarket and buy milk. Go home and check social media. Then back to the supermarket again for another item of the shopping list.
I mentioned Pocket above. Batching is one of the reasons I love it as a tool. When I rattle through my inbox, I can save all the things I might want to read, then read them all at an appropriate time. For me this is usually the hour after the last kid goes to bed.
Shop twice a week. The analogy above might be extreme, but how many of us spend way more time than we need to at the supermarket. I go on a Monday and a Friday. The tips in the 'Eat well' section make this a lot easier.
Social media is another great example. Spend an hour to get all your Instagram photos and captions ready for the week ahead. Use Buffer to schedule your tweets.
Extend the idea of batching to home life too. Buy a load of birthday cards in bulk. And keep a cupboard of gifts to avoid last minute shopping trips before birthday parties. If you can, batch wrap them in advance for extra super-productivity points.
10. Get the kids to help.
I often say that if it takes me 10 minutes to do something, it'll take 20 minutes if the kids are helping.
And whilst I do stand by that, giving kids some responsibilities can certainly help you (and them) in the long run. In particular, look for daily tasks they can take on. Making their own beds. Tidying their own toys away.
I'm completely honest with the kids on this. It actually isn't possible for me to do everything for them. Or at least, if it I did, we just wouldn't have time to do all the fun stuff each week too.
11. Schedule your washing machine.
Scheduling can be a lifesaver. And it's an idea that's closely linked to routines.
For adults, routines can be really helpful. For children, they can be amazing. For children who have suffered early life trauma (like those that I support), it's absolutely essential.
I've already spoken about Buffer for scheduling your social media posts. And making time in your weekly routine to batch this work together. But think about what else you can schedule.
I try to get the dishwasher on after our evening meal, so that I can open it before I go to bed, so that it's all dry and ready to go away when I get up the next morning.
Setting your washing machine to be finished when you get up in the morning is another great way to use scheduling to your advantage.
When you're working for yourself, or running a small business, saying no is really tough. There's always a feeling that you're turning money away.
But instead, think about saying no to something as making space to say yes to something better.
Us freelancer parents do so much, but thinking we can do it all and be everything to everyone is just setting ourselves up for failure.
For me, it's being able to sit and wait without thinking "I have to use this time for something productive!". It's about loving what I do, but also being able to switch off and be completely present, and enjoy the kids growing up. It's about doing a job that can be put on pause so that I'm able to put the kids first. It's about doing great work, and letting the kids see what joy can be found in that.
I hope this guide is useful. I currently have a huge pile of ironing to do. And I'm sat writing this on my laptop on a Saturday morning (football rained off) while the kids watch TV. I am absolutely not living the perfect life of productivity and organisation. But these tips from my own experience (and from the amazing, incredible, wonderful people of the Doing It For The Kids Facebook Community) have helped me out massively. I hope they help you too.

That Video of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Dancing Actually Has a Lot to Do With Higher Ed
By Brock Read and
Andy Thomason
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a freshman member of Congress from New York, dances in 2010 in a video produced at Boston University while she was an undergraduate there.
As an attempted gotcha, it was a flop. A video that circulated this week on Twitter, showing the newly minted U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dancing on a rooftop during her college days, was meant to be a black mark of some sort. Instead, most of the internet found it charming.
As a history lesson in miniature, though, the video was more revealing — a reminder of an era when video mash-ups not only ruled the earth (and college campuses), but also struck both wonks and cultural critics as a big deal.
Although the tweet that started it all (now deleted) claimed the video was a "high school" clip of Ocasio-Cortez, the video was actually produced by a center at Boston University while the New York Democrat was an undergraduate there.
According to a 2010 university news release, the video was the brainchild of Raúl Fernandez, assistant director of the Howard Thurman Center. At the time, a YouTube mash-up of famous dancing scenes from The Breakfast Club and some other Brat Pack movies with "Lisztomania," a song by the French pop-rock band Phoenix, was ubiquitous.
Fernandez thought a university-made video, paying homage to the viral hit, would express institutional values like diversity and connection. So he asked a couple of students to run with the idea. With an assist from the university's assistant dean of students, they found the perfect stage: the roof of the College of Arts and Sciences.
One Saturday about 20 students got up before dawn to film. "Most people didn't understand why we had to gather so early," said one of them, Julian Jensen, "but we shot them and immediately replayed the footage, and they saw how beautiful the light was."
The beautiful light was augmented by some jokey touches that are at least halfway clever. Rhett, the university's costumed terrier mascot, re-enacted a scene from Pretty in Pink, taking on the role of Jon Cryer serenading Molly Ringwald in a record store.
The video is goofy and earnest. That's true now, and it was true back when it was created. But at the time, even the silliest viral phenomena could be seen as heady stuff. Digital technology had opened up new pathways for creating and disseminating derivative art and cultural commentary, while scholars and advocates argued that intellectual-property law hadn't caught up to that new reality.
Perhaps the most eloquent spokesman for that view was Lawrence Lessig, the professor at Stanford and Harvard who had become an influential guru on technology, law, and culture. For years Lessig had championed what he called "read/write culture," in which everyday people felt empowered to generate their own creative product, over "read-only culture," in which hard-line enforcement of copyright and corporate control of the internet discouraged those people from doing so. "We need to celebrate (and support) the rebirth of a remix culture," wrote Lessig in 2008, introducing Remix, his book-length statement of intent.
To Lessig, the Brat-Pack-meets-Phoenix craze was a demonstration of the fecundity of remix culture. One enterprising creator had thought to mash together a song from 2009 with film clips from the 1980s. A group of enterprising Brooklynites had then turned the concept into their own live-action video. Soon homages had proliferated across the globe — in Riga, in Nairobi, in Rio de Janeiro, and on a Boston University rooftop, where a future congresswoman tried on some of Ally Sheedy's old moves. The professor incorporated scenes from some of those videos into an online presentation on fair-use doctrine, a much-invoked but erratically understood pillar of copyright law. (For the uninitiated: Fair-use doctrine allows for limited reproduction of copyrighted material in "transformative" cases, like commentary or parody.)
Parker Higgins was the longtime director of copyright activism at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the digital-rights advocacy group of which Lessig was once a board member. On Twitter, he picked up the story from there.
The delightful dancing video of AOC that is being circulated right now* is actually part of a pretty storied, if now mostly forgotten, remix culture phenomenon. If you'll allow me...
* apparently by numbskulls incapable of joy
— Parker Higgins (@xor) January 3, 2019
As Higgins recalls, Phoenix's Australian record company, Liberation Music, sued Lessig for distributing "Lisztomania" in his lecture. Lessig, joining forces with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, sued back. His lecture on fair use had now turned into a lawsuit in which he asserted his own right to fair use.
Lessig's settlement with the company amounted to a win for the professor. Liberation Music paid the scholar an undisclosed sum, and the record label adopted "new policies that respect fair use," according to a foundation press release.
Lessig's days as a copyright crusader are largely over; he's moved on to fighting against corruption in American politics. In October he published an essay arguing that the Electoral College is itself a form of corruption — "a shadow of slavery's power on America today that undermines our nation as a democratic republic." Those words weren't his own. He was approvingly quoting a rare national politician who had criticized the body. That politician's name: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Home→Insight→5 items every good trading plan MUST contain.
Face it, trading is a business. Every good business has a business plan, whether on paper or at least in the head of the owner. Likewise, as a trader, you're going to be stricken with emotions whenever you're winning or losing a ton of money and it's easy to get sidetracked. Whether or not you believe you have multiple personalities, please assume you have 2 personalities when you're trading: your Rational self and your Emotional self. You create your trading plan when you're your Rational self and you use it to remind your Emotional self to stay on track whenever your elated from all the profits you're making or deep in despair from losses.
I recommend writing down your trading plans if you're new to trading. Paper and pencil is fine but Evernote is recommended to keep track of your progress in a digital journal.
#1: Ask yourself: why do you need this money?
Let's face it, you can't eat money. Money doesn't bring you happiness, at least not in its pure form as pieces of paper or numbers in your bank or brokerage account. Obviously, it's the things that money can buy that'll bring you happiness, satisfaction, or meaning in life. Money can buy goods and services like a new sports car, your child's college education, a nice vacation, etc. but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Money can also buy you freedom if you accumulate a nest egg of, say, at least 25x of your living expenses and invest that nest egg in a safe portfolio. You can also pay down your debts like student loans or a mortgage. You might even have a cause you're very passionate about like animal welfare, saving the planet, etc. and wish to support it with generous donations in the future.
Money is only a resource for achieving the goals that mean the most to you in life. (What? If you don't have many goals at all, then spend some time to find some meaningful ones with this cool exercise.) Remind yourself of the real reason behind your pursuit of money everyday when you trade and imagine the joy that the end result will bring. See money and the numbers in your brokerage accounts as merely an indicator of progress towards this goal, not the end result you're after.
Note: don't confuse this with what Financial Advisors call Time Horizon: the amount of time you have before you need the money; Time Horizon is something you should have discussed with yourself in #1 when you've figured out the goals your money will help you achieve like retirement, a child's education, a nice beach house, etc.
Time frame is merely the average amount of time you expect to hold the trades in your strategy. Do you want to be a scalper, holding trades for seconds or minutes? A day trader who opens and closes positions in the same day? A swing trader who holds positions for a few days to a few weeks? A position trader who holds for months or an investor who holds for years? Not all of your strategies have to be of the same time frame and it's perfectly fine to exit a trade before its intended time, but NEVER, EVER hold on to a trade, especially a losing one, longer than the time you allotted in your trading plan! In other words, don't ever use the popular excuse that the stock you were day trading and ended up losing money on is a good long term investment so you continue holding it for days, weeks, or even months hoping it'll return to breakeven.
Now we get to the "meat" of your trading or investing strategy. (Most traders who even make trading plans will only have this one section.) What are your rules for entry/exit? What technical indicators, fundamentals, and/or chart patterns do you seek to decide when to buy or sell? Is it a momentum or mean reversion based strategy? Get those rules down, preferably on paper, so you'll have a disciplined plan to follow especially for when the going gets tough! Every time you check your strategy during the predetermined interval in #3, you should determine whether any of your entry/exit signals have come hit and execute the corresponding trade.
This is perhaps the most important part of any trading plan but it must be done after the first 4 sections. You MUST decide the maximum amount of money you're willing to lose on this strategy before you shut it down and move on! Many traders blow up or go broke because they didn't have a discipline plan for getting out of a trade after they've lost a predetermined amount of money! You will NOT be one of THEM!!!
If the interval you've determined in #3 for checking your performance is longer than, say, a few days, then I recommend automating the process of exiting your trade once you've lost your target amount. A stop loss order is the most convenient way, but if your security is prone to big gaps between trading days, then you might want to use options to better enforce a maximum loss. This will also protect you in the event of a black swan causing unexpected and unprecedented losses for many traders taking the same position.
Pick a more frequent time frame for evaluating your performance.
While having a trading plan is no guarantee of success for a trader, not having a plan will almost always end in disaster. Trading is like a business and while some businesses can get away with having no official business plan, traders will almost always end up succumbing to their emotions when their money is on the line. By having an effective trading plan that includes at least the 5 items I've outlined above, you will have the discipline to stay on the course or protect your wealth no matter what the financial markets throw at you.

An international team of scientists is planning to dig out Scotland's Loch Ness next month – not looking for the mythical monster, like so many before, but its DNA footprint.
Maybe. Never get your hopes up. Even the head of the project, Neil Gemmell of Otago University in New Zealand, doubts that the Loch Ness Monster actually exists. The professor of evolutionary genetics was quite open that he used the legend as a hook to arouse interest in a study on the biodiversity of the lake.
That is, when the team encounters the genetic sequence of an immortal dinosaur or a monster they promised to let us know.
"It really resonates with people of all cultures around the world, I really do not know why."
1; though that is Project differs from others because it promises to find something in the hidden depths of the lake, even if it is just the DNA of fish and newly discovered bacteria.
A Christian, Saint Columba , claimed to have seen the Loch Ness monster in the sixth century, PBS said. It was about to attack a swimmer, so the saint lifted his hand and ordered him to withdraw in the name of God. (19659004) The myth became a sensation after a new road was built along the lake shore in the 1930s, PBS wrote, and the locals reported a massive rippling.
The London Daily Mail soon hired a hunter to pursue the monster, wrote PBS. He returned with incredible stories of the beast and plaster casts of his four-toed footprints – which soon turned out to be hippos.
And yet, in 1934, the Daily Mail published what would become the iconic photograph of the Loch Ness Monster – a large giraffe-like neck rising from the water in the silhouette.
"It was discovered 60 years later as dizziness using a sea monster model on a toy submarine," Reuters wrote, but the image has nonetheless inspired many to seek out the beast itself.
Most efforts were unimpressive – unless you're convinced that the monster can be seen by Apple Maps or what looks bad. Floating Log is actually an old Nessie.
But besides the cranks, serious expeditions were also made.
The BCC funded a project in 2003 that examined the entire length of the lake with sonar, Reuters noted. Nothing unusual was found.
Perhaps the next to succeed was an 2016 expedition that found a 30-foot Loch Ness monster movie prop that sank to the bottom in 1969.
The Teams plan to navigate the entire lake and collect water samples at various depths filled with DNA fragments from all sorts of lives. They will do the same at two nearby lakes, as control groups, and then analyze the DNA to see what kind of curiosities really live in Loch Ness.
"He predicts that they will document new ways of life," wrote Reuters, "Especially Bacteria." Gemmell also hopes to collect data on an invasive species of Pacific Pink Salmon.
But the professor knows his audience.
Like our Facebook page for more conversation and coverage from the Bay Area and beyond.
As he explains in a YouTube video, he's on the lookout for strange DNA sequences and says his team could even tell if they're tracking down the genetic sequence of a Plesiosaur – the supposedly extinct marine creature Some believe the Loch Ness Monster is.
"That seems unlikely," said Gemmell, noting that the lake had frozen several times in the 50 million years since the extinction of plesiosaurs.
But he is open to everything, and his team plans to showcase everything they find in the hole in early 2019.
"The world has been waiting for an answer for more than a thousand years," it says on the project's website. "It's only months away."

Malaysia to bar long-term pass holders from India, Indonesia, Philippines
Published at 06:00 pm September 1st, 2020
File photo: A woman walks past an AirAsia counter at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, in Sepang on July 22, 2019
The entry ban on pass holders from the three countries will include permanent residents, expatriates, students and those on spouse visas
Malaysia on Tuesday said it would bar entry of long-term immigration pass holders from India, Indonesia and the Philippines from September 7, in a bid to curtail imported coronavirus cases amid a spate of new clusters in the country.
Health authorities in Southeast Asia's third-largest economy have recorded over 9,300 cases as of Tuesday, and 128 deaths, with new cases found in clusters detected in at least four states.
The entry ban on pass holders from the three countries will include permanent residents, expatriates, students and those on spouse visas and participants of Malaysia's My Second Home programme, senior minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said
"The decision was made on the advice of the health ministry to clamp down on the spread of imported Covid-19 cases," Ismail Sabri said in a televised news conference.
India is the third most affected country by the pandemic behind the United States and Brazil, with its coronavirus tally reaching nearly 3.7 million on Tuesday.
A total of 7,505 people have died of the coronavirus in Indonesia, the highest in the region, while the Philippines, which has reported over 224,000 cases, has seen a continuous rise in infections.

Q: Making a programming paradigm What are the steps of making a programming paradigm?
If you like, please give some light illustration on the procedural programming paradigm. Also, I'd love to be referred to some light/introductory/overall-view texts.

A: Find a problem that needs solving which no other available paradigm addresses well and figure out a solution.  Not trivial, but good luck! ;)

A: That's not such a simple thing to do... Object Orientated programming is a paradigm, as is procedural programming and Aspect Orientated programming. So the short answer is: start off with a damn fine idea and proceed from there.
I got started in procedural programming using Pascal but that was a long time ago so there's probably something more appropriate these days. Maybe play with scripting a bit to get a feel for it. Python's friendly and you can pretend it's procedural if you want to.

The Guilds of Capital
For a bit more commentary and close ups of the individuals you can check out the replies to this tweet:
I've been monkeying around with the guilds of Capital some more. Still a few bits I'm not 100% on (and details will change as Matt creates them of course!) but I'm mostly happy. pic.twitter.com/skAZk3KoP3

The Chain of Minauros
Thanks to a pretty successful Kickstarter campaign (I mean, I guess it's going ok), Matt Colville will be streaming his next D&D campaign. I'm especially excited because the campaign his players have chosen is the Black Company campaign:
A mercenary company, the Chain falls on hard times and regroups in Capital, the greatest city in this, or any age. There the small band must lick its wounds, recruit new members, and plot its
revenge… Read more.
One of the features of this is that each player will hold a rank/title in the Company, one of which is Standard Bearer. I, of course, then had to think about what this standard might be…
So what does the name mean? Well, Minauros is a layer of the Nine Hells, and home to Jangling Hiter:
Suspended above the fetid bogs of Minauros, it is a literal city of chain, with everything from the buildings to the ground itself made of chains or chain mesh of various sizes…there is no finer chain anywhere in the multiverse than that from Jangling Hiter.
So as well as sounding super fucking cool, the Chain of Minauros are named for a chain that cannot be broken: they will honour their contract, they will hold their nerve. In word and in resolve they are unbreakable. Which is what you want from a mercenary company! (Damn, he's good at writing this stuff.)
One train of thought I like that is that whatever the banner might be the standard is also hung with actual chains. Maybe when you enlist you're given a single link of a chain, when you die that link is added to the chain on the standard so the standard bearer is literally carrying the history of the company.
Or, maybe the standard is hung with chains and the link you're given when you join is from one of these chains. When the company is small the banner hangs heavy with chain, but if you can see the standard you know you face the company at full strength. That seems cool to me. But anyway, let's play with some chains.
I think black and white makes sense, their contracts are written in black and white, they honour things to the letter. It's no nonsense. (I guess they could write their contracts in blood? White on black is just so stark and powerful though.)
I think some of the horizontal chains look a bit weak. But! I also think that they make the most sense, imagine a wall of shields all side by side, forming a single, unbreakable chain. This even fits with the ability the Sergeant gets. So we need to make that cooler.
What else do I like? The bottom right with the surrounding chain could work, it could be a bordure with the insignia of their employer in the centre.
The chain on a bend sinister is fun too, the sinister could be a nod to the hellish origins of their name. Or maybe when they fight for 'good' it's a bend proper and when they fight for the less good it's sinister. Probably impractical, unless they have an 'are we the baddies?' checkbox on their contracts or something.
Let's play with that horizontal chain and employer arms:
I think the horizontal chain is much stronger as a chief. We've also got the arms of Haldrim to stand in as the employer of our company but I'm less enamoured of this. It looks a bit jumbled. And I think I'm set on white on black.
If you went with the chief you could use different chain patterns to denote rank or distinguish troop type:
It's neat enough but how can we take it further. How about some more intricate chainwork:
I really like the fine rings, they reinforce the idea of standing strong together, you can picture the row of shields bearing this chain. I think this might be pick of the lot. We'll see how I feel in the morning.
The centre one is riffing on the idea of the link to the hells what with the sharp, angular chains, and an impossible/unbreakable link at the centre. But I like it less.
The last one is what I'd choose if the direction was to go functional, mundane.
As they're a mercenary company including weaponry makes sense. There are a few directions I thought of on this tack:
The first is that the Chain is stronger than any blade. I tried to do something with a hammer striking the chain and shattering but it was a bit too busy, the broken blade is ok but I'm not sure how well it conveys the concept.
The next is intended to show that the swords are bound/chained in your service. It also has a Damocles motif which I think works: when they take a contract there's a burden of responsibility, and possibly, death hanging over each member of the company.
The last one is somewhere between the two ideas. The sword can't break free from the chains but equally the chains are bound to it. Not sure about that. I prefer things to be less busy.
The final direction I thought of was having the chain bind a creature, the difficulty here was that the company could end up in service to… anything! If you bind a dragon or demon in your arms (not in the romantic sense) would it be awkward if you ended up in service to them? Not sure. I drew a shackle anyway:
XP Academy (updated)
I'm doodling heraldry again…
(Also it's for D&D again.)
Board with Life's Adventures in the New World campaign is coming to a close and the next campaign is XP Academy. A Harry Potter-esque school for heroes.
Of course, I couldn't resist thinking about school arms, crest, and motto.
Update: I've put together a cleaner version (not including the supporters yet):
And the original sketch:
The arms were obvious. Four quarters (like our four Hogwarts houses) but for the four core classes: Fighter, Wizard, Cleric, and Rogue. Sword, wand, hand and daggers to represent each.
For the motto I wanted something a bit clever. After dancing around a riff on hic sunt dracones for a while (and a brief dalliance with an XP/expecto patronum something or other) I got it: Solve for XP.
It riffs on 'solve for x' as a common maths question, has a sense of school patriotism ('solve puzzles and challenges for XP Academy'), and literally describes what the characters will do. (Then Google translated into Latin cos, you know.)
For our crest we have a Dragon emerging from a Dungeon (for hopefully obvious reasons).
And for our supporters we have a Beaver and an Owl. The Owl represents knowledge, learning, wisdom. The Beaver represents hard-work, and reflects the story from medieval bestiaries where beavers would bite off their own testes to escape hunters (heroes: know when to run!). It was also an excuse to draw a heraldic beaver. They're pretty weird.
Who knows if this is anywhere near what Donald had in mind! Luckily I won't have to wait long to find out.
In the meantime I'll maybe work this up from idle doodle to something a bit cleaner (that mantling needs work for sure). Update: I did!
Far from an original idea (I don't even need to google it to know that there will be a hundred takes on superhero coats of arms) but it was fun to think how I might represent each hero without just resorting to their logo/uniform on a shield.
Banner is a personal fave. The two halves of his shield for the two halves of his personality. The left side has a snake wrapped around a staff, a nod to his title (I know he's a physicist rather than an MD but we do see him treating the sick), by cropping the head/tail of the snake also represents a gamma wave.
The snake wrapped around the branch also led to the crest: a dragon chasing a dove. In medieval bestiaries, doves would fly to the Peridexion tree to escape the dragon (the devil) and the tree would keep them safe. On the shield the serpent is climbing the tree, it simultaneously represents the good Banner could do as a doctor and the worst that he lets in to the world.
Natasha's crest is fun too. All the guys have such martial crests but she's a spy, hers should be more subtle.
The wheel has eight spokes (legs) and looks like a spider sat on a web, it also spins thread like a spider, or spins a yarn like a spy. And if fairy tales have taught us anything it's that a spinning wheel can be pretty deadly: Natasha isn't the girl pricking her finger on the spindle, she's the point of the needle.
A bit of fun for a Sunday morning.
Cap for funsies. Mostly playing with outlines on my charges, adding helms and mantles, and crests. Thinking of working this up into a set.
The Southern Sanction
(I'm a sucker for completeness)
We don't know much about the old Kingdoms of the Southern Sanction. We know the names of their capitals (Saldon, Holgast, Tirrell) but the names of the kingdoms themselves are lost… (or not on the map at least!)
We know that the lich performed the rite of desecration to halt the destruction of the forest so we could try to symbolise how the landscape changed as the kingdoms of men spread.
(And we can always just do something cool for no good reason because why the hell not.)
The First Kingdom
Starting in the East we have our first kingdom. This one is closest to Titan's Gate, on the fringes of the forest. I imagine this kingdom would have had the best chance of clearing the most land before the kingdoms fell, it's also served by three rivers.
The gold and green check represents the verdant pastures (green) and abundant crops (gold). It's also distinct from the other kingdoms so far, we haven't use chequy anywhere else.
The Second Kingdom
Next up we have the kingdom to the South. My initial idea for one of the kingdoms was inspired by something I saw in York Minster a couple of weeks ago:
I loved the idea of arrows or daggers intertwined with tree trunks. It could represent conflict with the forest itself as the people of the kingdom carved out their domain, or their prowess as hunters.
Or maybe there's an old folk tale of the first king of these lands who blooded three arrows and fired each to mark the bounds of his kingdom, the land feared his reach would be too far and give him dominion over the whole world so a great forest sprung up and trapped his arrows and that's where the forest first came from.
But, ultimately I decided this was too fiddly a device for one of the main kingdoms. I liked the idea of including a weapon (as none of the human kingdoms do yet) so I figured three swords worked. As the southern kingdom's capital is near(ish) to the coast the blue field works, and with the marsh to the North and the goliath to the East I figure they would have had plenty of groups to fight.
The Third Kingdom
Finally we have the kingdom to the North. These guys are closest to the lich's island, I reckon they would have had to carve their lands from the thickest, darkest forest. My first thought was an axe but we've already got blades for the kingdom to the south and axes evoke some of our dwarven kingdoms so my next thought was fire.
We haven't used rayonny anywhere else and they're the only human kingdom using red so they're still distinct. I went for the flames moving across rather than burning up or down to give them feel that they are crawling across the shield much as the flames of men would've burned across the land.

The Riverside Airshow left an impression on the estimated 80,000 people who attended Saturday, March 24.
The high hopes were apparent at 6 a.m., when attendees were scrambling to set up their chairs in a good spot — four hours before the first event, skydivers jumping from 1,200 feet, said organizer Tom Miller.
But the crowd was still blown away when the F-22 Raptor flew by in the afternoon, he said.
Now in its 26th year, the airshow at Riverside Municipal Airport is among the Inland Empire's biggest events. It ran roughly from 9:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.

Stolen clubs? No worries for Cody Blick
By : BGA Proshop
Becoming a full-time golf professional is not easy. The process to earn a PGA Tour card is tough and almost all professionals aspire to play on the PGA Tour. That is where the money is and with that, there is also big endorsement money as well. There are many challenging ways to earn a spot on the PGA Tour but one way is through the secondary tour called the Web.com tour. This tour is similar to the PGA Tour but without the glitz and glamour of the main tour but it is a good stepping stone to the big stage. To get on the Web.com tour you need to qualify as it gives you a path to the main tour. The top 25 of the Web.com are given PGA Tour memberships for the next season.
Spare a thought for Cody Blick and what he had to go through to earn a spot on the Web.com. As he was about to go into his final round every golfer's worst nightmare became a reality. His clubs were stolen. This would be like going into a major presentation without your notes or talking points. You could probably wing it but you would prefer to have your "tools" with you. Taking to social media Blick asked the public for help and offered a $5000 cash reward no questions asked but unfortunately, the clubs did not show up.
So with no other choice, he played the final round with the Superintendent's driver, pro shop's wedges, random irons and a heavier than usual putter and proceeded to fire a bogey-free a 63 to vault him up the leaderboard. He finished 19 under for the week and T25, guaranteeing him the first eight events of next season.
But this is not even the best part of the story. Thinking that he would never see his clubs again he was surprised to receive a text from his mom to tell about this wild story.
The story goes, a woman from Arizona encountered a homeless man asking for money. The woman asked if he had anything to sell, so he went back into his tent and pulled out a bag of Titleist golf clubs, which she gave him $75 for.
As luck would have it, Blick had his last name stamped on his wedges so the woman jumps on online to see if she could find the owner. She quickly came across Blick's incredible Q-school story and made contact with his mum through the white pages.
"I was pretty excited, but I was also pretty skeptical," Blick said in an interview on Golf Channel.
In the end, a friend of Blick's met the woman at an In-N-Out Burger and gave her $300 for the long-lost clubs.
The clubs ended up being in great shape, especially Blick's beloved Scotty Cameron putter, but his bag was destroyed.
"It's a cool story and everything, but the fact that they were in some dude's tent kinda creeps me out," Blick said.
Blick doesn't plan on using the clubs due to the fact that Titleist quickly provided him with a new set after Q-school, but he's considering putting them in a glass case eventually to preserve them for history.

Action Postponed on Vaccine Lawsuits
Published 8:00 pm EDT, Tuesday, April 8, 2003
Associated Press Writer
A Senate committee Wednesday abruptly dropped plans to move legislation overhauling a program to compensate children injured by vaccines, raising questions about whether a bipartisan deal was unraveling.
The legislation would nullify hundreds of lawsuits claiming injury and send them to a special fund established to handle these sort of claims.
The meeting was canceled just moments after aides announced a compromise had been reached on the measure. Senate aides gave conflicting explanations: GOP aides said there were not enough members present to conduct business, but Democrats suspected it had more to do with objections to a compromise lodged by two of the four major manufacturers of vaccines.
Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., who led negotiations for Democrats, said he was disappointed.
"We have worked very hard to work out a compromise to the satisfaction of almost everyone here," Dodd said.
Under the legislation, more than 200 lawsuits filed by families who believe their children were injured by vaccines would be sent instead to a special federal fund.
Senators led by Frist say these cases always were intended for the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, and Democrats generally agree.
The issue became contentious late last year when Republicans quietly slipped the change at the last minute into homeland security legislation. Under pressure, lawmakers undid the move in subsequent legislation, but vowed to try again this year using standard legislative procedures.
Childhood vaccines are safe for almost all children, but a small number are injured each year. Under current law, injured families must file claims first with the compensation fund, where cases are independently evaluated, before going to court. Average awards are just under $1 million.
If someone's claim is denied, or if the monetary award is considered unsatisfactory, a lawsuit may be filed in federal or state courts.
Some families have found a way to skip the compensation fund and go directly to court by claiming their children were harmed by a vaccine's ingredients, rather than by the vaccine itself.
Specifically, many contend their children's autism is caused by a preservative called thimerosal, which contains mercury and once was used in the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine.
The Institute of Medicine, which gives expert advice to Congress, reviewed the issue and said in 2001 it found no proof that autism is caused by the MMR vaccine or by thimerosal. The report did say a link between thimerosal and an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders is medically plausible.
In any case, Frist, a physician, argues that these cases should have gone through the compensation fund first, like other vaccine-related claims.
The bill also improves the fund for families filing claims in several ways. It would increase maximum amounts available for pain and suffering from $250,000 to $350,000, increase the statute of limitations for filing claims from three years to six years after the onset of the injury and, for the first time, allow parents to file independent claims based on their children's suffering.
Under the deal reached late Tuesday with Dodd, Republicans agreed to give families a one-year window to enter the fund, even if they are outside the new, six-year deadline for filing claims. That includes those with court claims pending and those who never filed a case with a court or the fund.
A Democratic aide, who asked not to be identified, said that Merck and Wyeth, two of the four major vaccine manufacturers, opposed the compromise as being too generous to families. They wanted a stricter statute of limitations.
The aide added that lobbyists for vaccine manufacturer Aventis and pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly supported the compromise. Lilly is the manufacturer of thimerosal and is facing several lawsuits that would be moved to the fund under this bill.

Whenever you need to wish your friend or acquaintances happy and belated birthday, or wish your near and dear ones merry Christmas, or send your beloved one happy valentines day wishes or just say hello or give a "get well soon" message to your bosom friend , you just go to a greetings card outlet or visit an online greetings card website and send the desired card. Have you ever wondered what greetings card is all about and how did it originate. If you have the desire to know, this article is for you. So, lets start with what is a greeting card. Originally, greeting cards derive from postcards ( which are single sided without the fold ) and are an illustrated, folded card usually featuring a message of greeting or other sentiment. They can be either printed or handmade.
Now, with the advent of Internet though, virtual greetings cards have evolved which doesnot fit into the above-mentioned definition. Although greeting cards are usually given on special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas or other holidays, they are also sent on 'non-occasions' to say 'hello' or 'thank you'. They are manufactured and/or hand-made by hundreds of companies big and small. Hallmark Cards and American Greetings are the largest producers of greeting cards in the U. It's the UK, where more cards per head are sent than any other nation. The UK continues as a world leader in this area, as well as leading the world in the region of greeting card design. What laid the foundation for the greeting card industry and when and how did it all began ? The custom of sending greeting cards can be traced back to the ancient Chinese, who exchanged messages of good will to celebrate the New Year, and to the early Egyptians, who conveyed their greetings on papyrus scrolls. By the early 1400s, handmade paper greeting cards were being exchanged in Europe. The Germans are known to have printed New Year's greetings from woodcuts as early as 1400, and handmade paper Valentines were being exchanged in various parts of Europe in the early to mid-1400s. However, by the 1850s, the greeting card had been transformed from a relatively expensive, handmade and hand-delivered gift to a popular and affordable means of personal communication, due largely to advances in printing and mechanization. This trend continued, fuelled by new trends like Christmas cards, the first of which appeared in published form in London in 1843 when Sir Henry Cole hired artist John Calcott Horsley to design a holiday card that he could send to his friends and acquaintances. Technical developments like color lithography in 1930 propelled the manufactured greeting card industry forward. During the 1980s the trend began to turn, with consumers increasing looking for greeting cards that were differentiated from the standard offering. In the late 1990s the market was clearly beginning to separate in to three different segments: 1.
handmade and premium cards 2. mass-manufactured cards 3. e-cards So, this is all about how the greetings card industry begun and flourished. Though the current trend is to send greetings through e-cards, there is the need to sustain the traditional greetings card industry and maintaining the age-old tradition of sending greetings card via conventional means.

How to Get to LaGuardia Airport
By Emily Zemler; Updated August 11, 2017
Tips for making your airport journey stress-free
Traveling to the airport can be a stressful experience, so planning ahead and knowing all the options is key. LaGuardia Airport in Queens services New York and its surrounding areas and is accessible via several forms of transportation. When heading to the airport from Manhattan or one of the outer boroughs, select the option that best suits your travel needs considering time, cost and traffic.
Via public transportation
The New York subway does not directly extend to LaGuardia Airport, however several buses go to and from the airport. The MTA provides buses directly between Manhattan or Queens and LaGuardia, as well as those that connect from the subway and the Long Island Railroad. A one-way trip on MTA buses costs $2.75, and tickets can be purchased at MetroCard vending machines in the stations using cash or a credit card. Passengers can also use exact change to board a bus. Passengers using MetroCards get a free transfer from the subway to the bus.

How to Get to Newark Airport
There are several buses to take, depending on your location in the New York area. The M60 SBS, which services LaGuardia Terminals B, C and D, is the best way to connect from most New York subway lines coming from Manhattan and Queens, as well as from the Metro-North Railroad. A complete bus schedule, with a full list of stops, is available on the LaGuardia Airport website. Further information is also available by calling 511.
Via taxi
LaGuardia Airport is an easy taxi ride from Manhattan, as well as Queens and Brooklyn. Metered taxis, available to hail or call throughout the city, calculate your fare based on distance and time. There is no flat rate for trips to LaGuardia. There is a $1 peak-time surcharge for trips from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and a $.50 surcharge for trips from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily, as well as a New York State tax of $.50 added to trips within the state. Be aware that there is a limit of four passengers per taxi, and the ride could take longer during the winter months if road conditions are icy or snowy. The average taxi fare to LaGuardia from central Manhattan is $50.
Via rideshare
Uber or Lyft are good options to travel to LaGuardia Airport. The cars can be summoned to any location via an app on your phone, with payment via a pre-entered credit card. These are generally cheaper than a metered taxi and you can request an Uber XL when using Uber if you have large luggage or more than four passengers. Allow extra time if there is heavy traffic or poor weather conditions, especially when coming from Manhattan. An UberX, Uber's budget-friendly option, is generally $30-39 from Manhattan.
Via rental car
Rental car drivers should allow an extra hour at LaGuardia to return the vehicle and to take a free shuttle to the terminals. The airport recommends taking your driving directions from Google Maps or Waze, and it's essential to check for traffic or road closures ahead of time. LaGuardia is located on the Grand Central Pkwy, which runs through Queens and connects to Brooklyn and Manhattan.

UK ID card data to be split among three databases
By: Seamus Egan
category: Biometrics, Government
At a meeting on identity cards at London's Social Market Foundation, Meg Hillier, UK Identity Minster, announced plans to have the stored information for new biometric ID cards to be stored across three different databases for security purposes, according to a ZDNet UK article.
The new plan was created after the original plan to store all data for the cards on a database housed by the Department for Work and Pension.
Each of the three databases will serve a different purpose to keep fraudsters from being able to easily breach and misuse citizens' personal data. The first database is to contain fingerprint and facial image data, the second is to hold other information already found on standard passports and the third is designed to connect the two and allow the housed data to work together.
Hillier acknowledged that the government has more work to do on the ID card program in general, but maintained the importance of the program so socially disadvantaged citizens can have access to secure forms of identification.
