Administration building at the Kansas Women's Industrial Farm, Lansing, Kansas
This is a photograph of the administration building at the Kansas Women's Industrial Farm in Lansing, Kansas. In 1916, this facility was established, and, for a year, it was a branch of the men's prison at the Kansas State Penitentiary in Leavenworth County. In 1917, it began operating as a separate, satellite unit. The Industrial Farm was under the supervision of the State Board of Administration before coming under the control of the Board of Penal Institutions, which was eventually reorganized as the Department of Corrections. It housed women who had committed crimes against the state. In 1980, the facility became co-correctional and the name was changed to the Kansas Correctional Institution at Lansing in 1983.

A hanging in Kansas
Creator: Topeka State Journal Company
This newspaper article published in the Topeka State Journal illustrates the confusion surrounding the history of state death penalty laws in Kansas. The article concerns the possible execution, under federal law, of a convict at the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth. The article claims that should this execution proceed "Kansas will see its first legal hanging in its history as a state." The article concludes by saying "that there never has been a hanging under state law in Kansas." In fact, between 1862-1888 there were nine legal executions in Kansas under state law, three under military law, and two under federal law. The state repealed its capital punishment law in 1907.

Those unfortunate souls who lost their jobs during the most recent downturn in the economy are living proof that the term 'employment for life' has become a myth. Of course, the economy moves in cycles and the current downturn will pass by who knows when the next upturn will peter out, to be followed by another downturn and another. There is yet another thing to consider. One of best idea that rises is Low Cost Franchise Opportunities in UK. Even during periods when the economy is strong, mergers, acquisitions and other corporate strategies will be followed by rationalisation drives and jobs will be lost.
The Low Cost Franchise Opportunities is a great way to start their own business in the UK. Should you consider starting your own business but hesitate at the perceived risks, ask yourself the question. Given the uncertainties of the world economy, what could be riskier than depending on others to keep you employed? Of course, there are risks attached to starting your own business. The free enterprise system can be a harsh task master, but this does not mean that you have to fail. You just have to be extra careful.
After assessing your strengths and weaknesses realistically, you need to take some calculated risks. Going the Low cost franchise route in the UK fits perfectly into this scenario. The slogan 'Being in business for yourself but not by yourself' sums up what it is all about.
Investing in a Low Cost franchise Opportunities allows you to enter entrepreneurship with a safety net. And no, it doesn't mean that you have to flip burgers for the rest of your life, unless of course you choose to. Opportunities in Low Cost franchising are no longer limited to quick service restaurants. The list of sectors that have had franchised business established are virtually endless, and can be divided as many times as you'd like to split various sectors.
The biggest and most significant hurdle that would-be entrepreneurs encounter is capital or, to be more precise, lack of thereof. Because most franchises are highly formalised, investment levels are relatively high. This is not necessarily a bad thing because customers are more likely to trust a business that is properly resourced. This tends to result in the payback period being shorter than if you run a makeshift operation. There is also a marked willingness among commercial banks to offer franchisees of reputable franchisors preferential access to loans.
The use of franchisor's brand by a franchisee: Whether the brand controlled rigidly, as is the case with the major food and beverage franchises, or the brand is secondary to the community trading name, like in the case with Trussell Trust where franchisees operate as 'Swindon Foodbank' with a sub-brand of 'seeded by the Trussell Trust'. There will be some element of branding provided from the franchisor to the franchisee. Usually, a franchise will control its brand, and ensure that a franchisee's signage, printed literature and web presence is consistent with the franchise's brand guidelines.
The use of a franchisor's operating system by a franchisee: A franchise agreement includes passing the systems and processes of the business to the franchisee. Every business format franchise should be systematised to a point where the operations can be defined within an operating manual, which can be passed to anyone to allow them to run the business. The phrase that is often used for this is a 'turnkey business'. An incoming franchisee should expect to receive an operations manual as part of the package.
Payments from the franchisee to the franchisor: In exchange for the brand and systems, there is normally a payment from the franchisee to the franchisor. This will usually be both an initial franchisee fee, together with an ingoing management service fee (MSF). The MSF is often calculated as a percentage of sales; however, in some businesses it is a flat monthly fee. There are often other fees payable, such as a contribution to a central marketing levy, or purchases of centrally supplied goods.
Legal agreement between the franchisee and franchisor: Underpinning the above is a legal agreement between the franchisee and franchisor. This usually takes a standard form and is often non-negotiable. A legal agreement will set out the obligations of both the franchisee and franchisor, the payments due to the franchisor and the franchisee, and will set the scene for the ongoing relationship.
There are 10 important business considerations for a Franchise business model that must be well-thought-out before taking the plunge.
Capital is provided by the franchisee since they fund the set-up of the business.
Faster growth is possible since there is less cost involved, the company can set up units very quickly.
Fewer staff need to be employed by the head office, since many staff will be managed by the franchisees.
If provides a wider range and more secure units for products and services.
The business benefits from local knowledge and contacts.
There is greater protection against the forces of recession.
A mature franchise network enables national customers to be services.
There is greater return on capital invested by franchisor.
The business unit is operated by highly motivated owners, as the franchisees reap the benefits of their own hard work.
The fees that are typically charged in a franchise can be divided into initial fee (or upfront fee) and an ongoing fee, usually described as a management service fee. Most franchised networks also collect a fee that is used to collectively fund the cost of product marketing. In addition, it is the franchisee's responsibility to fund the setting up of the business and provide the necessary working capital.
The initial fee is a fixed amount that is almost akin to a joining fee. It is usually payable at the time when the franchise agreement is signed and pays for the assistance with site selection, the establishment of the business, initial training for the franchisee and staff and, in suitable circumstances, access to preferential sources of supply. The actual amount varies greatly, not so must from one network to the other but from one industry sector to another. The reason for this is that the time and effort it takes the franchisor to set up one franchisee in business is affected by the complexity of operating the business.
The management service fee pays for the cost of ongoing support and allows the franchisor to make a profit. In most instances, it is calculated as a percentage of the franchisee's sales and is payable in arrears, usually within a week or so after the end of the reporting month.
Some franchisors levy a fixed monthly fee but most bona fide franchise practitioners frown upon this practice. It removed the joint risk-taking aspects which should be at the heart of every franchise arrangement. A short-sighted franchisor could recruit large numbers of franchisees then sit back and collect fee income from them without providing any worthwhile assistance in return. In the long run, such an approach would not be sustainable, and the network would surely fail but this self-styled franchisor would still walk away with a sizable sum of money.
Management services can range from 1 per cent to 8 per cent or more. In industry sectors where sales are high but margins relatively low, for example in certain retail operations, 1 percent may be all the franchisee can afford. Volume ensures that the arrangement remains attractive for the franchisor. Higher percentages are common in industry sectors where gross margins are high but sales levels relatively low, for example in plumbing repairs.
The marketing fee is sometimes referred to as a contribution to the advertising fund. In most instances, it is calculated in the same way as the management services fee, but legitimate exceptions exist. To increase its ability to find major campaigns and plan them well in advance, a network may decide to levy a fixed monthly fee. As long as this money is spent on product advertising and all franchisees in the network benefit equally, this practice is acceptable.
Some networks charge other fees, usually in exchange for providing services that go beyond the normal obligations for the franchisor and therefore not covered by the management services fee. An example if an administration service to franchisees. This may offer franchisees genuine benefits, especially if most of the franchised businesses are relatively small and the employment is an administrative assistance would not be justified. Case must be taken to ensure that such practices do not erode the franchisee's profitability.
By joining a franchise, you are obtaining the business model and the business plan that has been proven to be successful in the past. In the case of established franchise networks, you might also be purchasing a well-known brand, either locally or nationally. To put this into context, a franchisee of McDonalds could open in almost any town across the UK and have brand recognition locally from day one, unlike an independent fast-food start-up.
The franchisor will have an obligation to support you in your business, and as a franchisor becomes more mature they tend to employ regional franchise managers to provide hands-on advice and support. Since the franchisor has vested interest in your success, particularly if they receive a percentage-based MSF, they will be motivated to help you develop your business to generate more sales and ultimately make more profit.
As mentioned earlier, the business model is proven, and the main benefit of this is that, in theory the risk to you as an investor should be lower than investing in a start-up business. This is simply because there is a proven blueprint, which will give you the benefit of the franchisor's experience in business.
Unlike shareholdings in listed companies and rental properties, you will have a direct input into the performance of your business, whether at an operations level or at a managerial/strategic level.
Most business format franchises require a level of input from the franchisee, and hence cannot be deemed true 'turnkey' investments. There is therefore the potential risk of you being unable to work, which will affect the return that you will receive from your business. Traditional investments such as shareholdings in listed companies and rental properties will continue to generate a return without your direct input.
A franchise has an entry cost, which is made up of both the franchise fee and the initial working capital, which might appear to be higher than the minimum required investment to start your business, or indeed the minimum required investment to entry to the stock market .
Which trading as a franchise you will be under various obligations that will be set out within the franchise agreement. They will include operations requirements (for example, you may be required to operate at certain times, or restricted to supplying certain products); and also restrictions, particularly if you are given an exclusive territory. These restrictions are generally for the good of the whole network, either from the reputational respective or from a commercial perspective; however, as an independent business owner you would be able to operate without these concerns.
Now that we know broadly what a franchise is, and some of the reasons why you should invest in a franchise, we can look at what personality traits can skills are desirable, or indeed essential, in a franchisee.
Mental fortitude: able to maintain focus through difficult trading periods as well as the good ones.
Note: When appointing potential franchise owners, a franchisor will look for all the above, plus a number for additional vital attributes. Specifically, candidates will usually be required to demonstrate that they are able to conform.
In a bona fide franchise arrangement, the agreement between the franchisor and franchisee is recorded in a franchise agreement. This is a substantial document that should set out the rights and obligations of both parties. Unlike may other commercial agreements, franchise agreements need to take the interest of both parties into account. This notwithstanding, the franchise agreement will be weighted in favour of the franchisor. This is necessary because the franchisor must have the power to enforce uniformity in the widest sense of the word throughout the network.
The success of the network depends on a trust relationship plus enthusiastic cooperation between the franchisor and all franchisees. If one franchisee were to discover that another franchisee was granted more favourable terms, this trust would be destroyed.
Mature networks can have hundred of franchisees. If each one of them were given a customised franchise agreement, administration of the network would be an absolute nightmare.
The franchise agreement is a long-term agreement, usually extending over five to seven years; some franchise agreements run for up to 20 years. The franchise agreement will contain a renewal clause in favour of the franchisee. When the original franchise agreement comes to an end, the franchisee will have the right to extent it by a similar period, but this may be subject to certain conditions as set out in the franchise agreement.
The franchise agreement should address what will happen if the franchisee should wish to sell the business. Although the franchisee owns the business, the franchisor will wish to control who becomes a member of the network. It is customary, therefore, that the franchisor reserves the right to veto the sale of the franchise to a person that does not meet the basic admission criteria in force at the time. The sale may also be subject to the incoming franchisee being willing to sign a franchise agreement and undergo training. Should the franchisee die, and no suitable heir is willing to take over, the franchisor will usually operate the business on behalf of the estate until a new franchisee can be found.
While franchising has been around in various forms for a long time, it is still a relatively new area to many people. Franchises can be developed in various sectors, and one franchise might be the polar opposite of another. Its not limited to a certain type of business. Franchises can also be established by relatively new businesses, as well as by long established business and normally consists of the licence of a brand, system and a 'way of doing business', together with a fee for the rights to those. The franchisor can franchisee are bound together by a legal agreement. For a business if you can find a franchise you are passionate about, and are willing to conform to its operational guidelines and have adequate funding, going the franchising route is the safest wat to take charge of your life and become your own boss. However, not all franchises are created equal and none come with a guarantee. The onus is on you to undertake an in-depth investigation.

Hmm: DNC Rapid Response Machine Now Boosting Trump Attacks Against DeSantis Guy Benson
As Barack Obama prepares for his trip to Israel on March 20th—his first as President—he might consider taking the opportunity to correct common distortions about the Jewish state that his administration has, on occasion, helped to promote. Clearing away some of these persistent misunderstandings on the part of both policy makers and the public could strengthen America's connection to its closest Middle Eastern ally, but also help the president make the peace process progress he clearly craves as a goal of his second term.
For instance, President Obama should acknowledge that too many Americans currently believe the following myths about Israel's present and past:
*That Israel is a uniquely dangerous nation facing appalling levels of violence, and will only improve security by making major concessions to the Palestinians. In fact, Israel is one of the safer societies on earth with a murder rate much less than half that of the United States (2.1 vs. 4.8 per 100,000 population). Since cracking down on Palestinian militants and building a security barrier beginning in 2003, Israel has experienced less than 190 homicides a year (including terrorist incidents), in a national population of 8 million. President Obama's home town of Chicago suffered 535 murders last year—three times the killing, with barely one third the population. Moreover, the improvement in Israel's domestic security has everything to do with smart policing and effective anti-terror strategies and nothing to do with appeasing Palestinians. Major Israeli concessions—like the Oslo Accords of 1993, the unilateral withdrawal from Southern Lebanon in 2000, and the evacuation of Jewish communities from Gaza in 2005—produced only spikes in violence, not periods of enhanced calm or quiet.
*That the Palestinians constitute one of the most wretchedly oppressed, destitute populations on earth. The truth is that Palestinian economic progress has been impressive by any standards: with a reported growth rate (in both the West Bank and Gaza) of 5.7 percent, compared to 2012 GDP growth of just 2.2 percent in the United States. Yes, too many Palestinians still languish in poverty but the percentage below the official poverty line in the West Bank (23.5 percent) corresponds almost precisely to the situation in nearby Egypt, recipient of nearly two billion dollars in annual American aid. The educational achievements among Palestinians also far exceed those in neighboring nations with an illiteracy rate (7 percent) generally acknowledged as among the lowest in the Arab world. Moreover, long before the vaunted Arab Spring, Palestinians chose their own local leaders in West Bank elections (since the 1970's) while electing representatives to a national parliament since 1994. The difficulty in staging new elections after 2006 stemmed from the bloody split between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, not Israeli intervention.
*That Israel emerged as a Jewish state and won international recognition as a direct consequence of the suffering of the Holocaust. Actually, the 52 nations of the League of Nations voted to endorse "the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine" and to support "reconstituting their National Home in that country" in July, 1922 – a full 11 years before Hitler's rise to power. At the beginning of World War II, well over half a million Jews already made their homes in the future state of Israel. The rapid population growth that saw more than a million Jewish immigrants in the first twelve years of the new nation's independence came primarily from Jews fleeing Islamic countries (Morocco, Yemen, Iraq, Egypt and so forth) rather than refugees from Hitler-ravaged Europe. These "Oriental Jews" soon comprised the Israeli majority, outnumbering Holocaust survivors more than two-to-one.
*Jewish settlers displaced the indigenous Palestinian population and practiced ruthless ethnic cleansing to wipe out a distinctive, well-established civilization. Far from driving Arabs away from the contested territory, the return of Jews to their ancient homeland drew tens of thousands of new immigrants from neighboring Islamic countries and saw massive increases in Arab population. Between 1919 and 1939, the Jewish population increased by 470,000 while the non-Jewish population (almost entirely Arab) soared by 588,000. Despite the undeniable suffering of Palestinian Arabs during major wars in 1948-49 and 1967, their numbers steadily increased. At the time of Israeli independence, 1.3 million Palestinians lived between the Jordan River and the sea; 5.5 million live in the same space today, including 1.6 million in Gaza under the rule of Hamas, 2.5 million in the West Bank under the rule of the Palestinian Authority and 1.4 million Arab citizens of Israel. For the first time in history, Palestinians have established an independent identity distinguishing them from their fellow Arabs. Prior to the establishment of the modern state of Israel, no one served as King, Viceroy, Sultan, Prime Minister, governor or Emir of a principality of Palestine, and no one other than Zionist Jews claimed the title "Palestinian."
*Israel is a desert, a parched, desolate land that struggles to support its teeming population. The most stunning revelation for most first-time visitors to Israel involves the green fields and lush pine forests that cover surprising stretches of territory, particularly in the north of the country. Since 1910, the Jewish National Fund has planted an amazing total of nearly 300 million trees in Israel, altering the landscape and even the climate. Jerusalem, at a mountainous elevation of close to 3,000 feet above sea level, receives average precipitation of 22 inches—well in excess of the 15 inches of Los Angeles. The economy's wildly successful agricultural sector not only feeds the Israeli population but ships millions of tons of fruits and vegetables to the European Union.
If Barack Obama showed the courage and vision to depart from the standard itinerary of visiting dignitaries, he might make his own startling discoveries when he travels to the always surprising nation that Zionist pioneer Theodore Herzl described as the "Old New Land." Instead of spending all his time meeting with big-shots, or making expected stops at the Holocaust Museum and sacred shrines of three great religions, he might explore less publicized portions of an unexpectedly spacious, varied landscape and even visit one of those well-established, peaceful Jewish communities that much of the world derides as "settlements." Aside from informing a more effective American policy in the Middle East, an unconventional trip to Israel by our tourist-in-chief could help shatter the notion of the Jewish state as a perpetually embattled war-on-terror theme park and convey the more accurate picture of a place of hope, happiness and relentless progress.

Vasohibin 2 promotes malignant behaviors of pancreatic cancer cells by inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition via Hedgehog signaling pathway
Ye Zhang, Xiaofeng Xue, Xiaoqian Zhao, Lei Qin, Yu Shen, Huiqiang Dou, Jialin Sun, Tong Wang, Da Qing Yang
Background: Based on previous findings, we hypothesized that Vasohibin 2 (VASH2) protein may induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of pancreatic cancer (PC) cells by promoting the malignant behaviors of these cells. The present study aimed to test this hypothesis and explore the possible mechanisms involved. Methods: The expression of VASH2 in PC tissues and cell lines was detected by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot. PC cells with overexpression or knockdown of VASH2 were used to examine the involvement of VASH2 in EMT by detecting the expression of epithelial (E-cadherin) and mesenchymal (vimentin) markers and EMT-related transcription factor ZEB1/2, in gemcitabine resistance and tumor cell invasion by apoptosis and invasion assays, and in cancer stem cell-like phenotypes by detecting the proportion of CD24 + CD44 + and side population (SP) cells in PC cells with flow cytometry. The impact of VASH2 overexpression and knockdown on components of the Hedgehog signaling pathway was also assessed. Results: We found that VASH2 was highly expressed in PC tissues and cells. It promoted the EMT of PC cells by altering ZEB1/2 expression. VASH2 also stimulated invasion and chemotherapeutic resistance of PC cells and increased the proportion of cancer stem-like cells in PC cells. VASH2 did so by upregulating the expression of multiple molecules in the Hedgehog signaling pathway of PC cells. Conclusion: VASH2 promotes malignant behaviors of PC cells by inducing EMT via activation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway.

Rihanna Clapped Back at a Fan Who Told Her to 'Go Back to Singing'
byNicole Bloom 3 months ago
Photo: Shutterstock.
RiRi has teased an upcoming album, and fans are itching for its release. Patience is, perhaps, not their virtue, however. And the singer isn't taking any of the complaints. Rihanna clapped back after recent Fenty Beauty backlash and fans complained she was spending too much time on her makeup products and lingerie, Savage x Fenty, and not enough on her new music. They want songs! Honestly, can you blame them? We are ~dying~ to hear new music from the "Bitch Better Have My Money" singer but guys—we need to give her some time. She's exploring other avenues and interests, and that's super cool too.
Comments By Celebs' Instagram captured the interaction between Rihanna and a fan who was demanding new music. The user commented on her latest promo video for the Sunstalkr Bronzer writing, "ok now can u please go back to singing." As we might have suspected, the 31-year-old singer did not let this comment slide unnoticed. She replied, "i love how y'all tell me what to do. it's great."
Called. Out! And to the next commenter who uttered a similar sentiment ("Annoyed. We want the album sis"), Rihanna simply wrote, "well this is bronzer." She is literally teaching us how to take the high road while also getting her point across, 10-fold.
And here's the thing, we know an album is coming. Rihanna herself has confirmed that it will, in fact, drop this year! Recent reports from sources at Us Weekly say Rihanna is done recording—so the studio album should't be too far away. If her part in the studio singing is done, now it's really up to her producers and sound mixers. So for now, let's let RiRi enjoy this new work, right? Power to you, girl!
This is bronzer. #CommentsByCelebs

Time Isn't Money. It's Far More Valuable!
Welcome to my new blog about the ways design thinking can be applied to almost everything in life. There is much more coming soon. Stay tuned!
The Waste of Inventory and A Few Books I Want to Read | Brad Bonham on Time Isn't Money. It's Far More Valuable!


I'm a 24-year-old graduate student from New Jersey. While technically I'm in an English-focused program, my personal research tends to revolve around video games and feminism.
About three years ago I decided to start Not Quite Literally as a sort of dumping ground for my brain. The blog was also sort of a promise to myself — I'd write more. You know. Actually more. While most writers know how those promises tend to go, Not Quite Literally actually worked out kinda well for me. A few months after I started blogging I was noticed by the Editor-and-Chief of an upcoming gaming blog, which landed me my first professional writing gig. Not too long after I was inspired to start the writing process on my first novel.
I felt like a real writer. It was awesome.
And then I started grad school last August.
All of my productivity stopped. Everything that wasn't a paper just stopped. I couldn't focus on anything but academia. Progress on my novel stopped. I stepped away from my position as a journalist. I stopped posting to Not Quite Literally.
Slowly, however, as I've gotten used to the pace of grad school, I've started to miss writing — you know, writing — not for someone else, but for myself. So I went out and finished the first draft of my novel.
And, of course, I decided to start blogging again.
So what should I expect to read here?
Despite the fact that I mentioned my academic pursuits first I'm hardly a pure academic. As such, you can expect to read articles on anything that happens to come to my mind. This means feminist critiques, music/movie/entertainment reviews, ludological studies, car enthusiast ramblings, notes on relationships, and just about everything else. It's a variety.
If you need to contact me the best method is tweeting at me. Alternatively, commenting on the blog.

Check out the time and place of Arabian Prince's birth and a lot of more information!
Kim Renard Nazel is popularly known as Arabian Prince and also Professor X, is an American rapper, singer, record producer as well as a DJ. He joined his professional career in 1984, his music mostly being a hip hop and using instruments like vocals, keyboards, drum machines, and sampler. He has produced his music from various labels such as Orpheus Records and Stones Throw Records, among others. He is also known to be a member of N.W.A. group.
Read about Arabian Prince's career and accomplishments in the following section.
Nazel's music career began when he was still in High School as he used to sell mixtapes he made in school. He started taking the name DJ Prince since then. After high school, he started working at Del Amo Mall luggage store, and the owner, Sam Nassif, asked him to DJ a party he held at his community. He already had some experience and performed several weekends, which turned out a success making Nassif invest more in that place. Nassif was the one who funded Nazel to record his first single, Strange Life.
Below is a short description of Arabian Prince's family situation. Check it out!
Arabian Prince is very secretive about his relationship life. He has not disclosed any information whether he is married or divorced and if he has any kids. He is thus regarded as single as no information even shows if he is gay or not. He seems not interested in family life, and if he has one, he does not like sharing it with the public. He has chosen to concentrate more on his career and leave the rest about his personal life away from the media.

3 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Floats We Want To See This Year!
Just floating some ideas here...
Halloween has come and gone and now it's time to focus on the next big holiday — and no, turn off that Christmas music, because I'm talking about Thanksgiving!
Although Thanksgiving is the holiday where you eat until the seams of your sweatpants burst and consume so much turkey that even the thought of the dry and disappointing taste nauseates you, Thanksgiving has some wonderful gems to offer, primarily gems that fly in the sky.
That's right folks, I'm talking about parade floats!
While I love these floating orbs of happiness and commercialization, I do get tired of seeing the same stale ones every year. "Oh look, there goes Snoopy! That's the first time I've ever seen that float," said no one, ever.
In an attempt to revamp the current state of parade floats, AKA one of America's most pressing issues, I will offer three ideas for fresh floats to make the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade lineup more appealing than the cold holiday leftovers it has come to resemble!
1. BoJack Horseman ("BoJack Horseman")
Sure, this cartoon isn't for kids, but that doesn't mean the titular character from the red-hot Netflix series should be excluded from the Thanksgiving festivities. I personally think that there's too much angled at children in these parades anyway -- throw a few more mature characters into the mix so us older-but-not-fully-grown folks have something to look forward to as well.
2. Eric Cartman ("South Park")
A "South Park" float is long overdue, and Cartman is the perfect character from the show to represent at the parade since (A) he is the most recognizable character, (B) is already the appropriate dimensions for a float, and (C) appropriately represents the amount of gluttony taking place during this holiday. If the powers-that-be at the parade don't have a Cartman float, all I can say is "Screw you guys, I'm going home!" Also, props to "The View" and Raven-Symone for giving Cartman the national respect he deserves.
3. Linda Belcher ("Bob's Burgers")
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm obsessed with Linda Belcher, the fiercely hilarious mom from "Bob's Burgers". Just imagine her pink spectacles peeping down at you while her original Thanksgiving song plays in the background. Linda gives me life, and the world will all echo her popular "Alright!" if the parade is lucky enough to be graced by her floaty presence.
Hopefully these three characters will soon rightfully taking their place in the pantheon of parade floats, but for now at least we can see the Spongebob float for the millionth time...

Antedone (in greco Ἀνθηδών) era una città situata in Beozia, citata da Omero nel II libro dell'Iliade, il cosiddetto catalogo delle navi.

La polis era situata sulla costa settentrionale del Golfo di Eubea (secondo le indicazioni di Dicearco da Messina a 70 stadi da Calcide e a 160 da Tebe) ai piedi del Monte Messapio. In tempi antichi, si credeva che l'insediamento avesse avuto come suo eponimo un personaggio mitologico di nome Antedone. La polis fu membro della Lega Anfizionica e fu il porto di Tebe.

Le rovine della città si trovano nei pressi del villaggio di Loukisia.

Riferimenti antichi
Il più antico riferimento alla città si trova in Omero nel Catalogo delle navi del II libro, in cui si scrive che la città era geograficamente la più remota della Beozia, essendo a nord del Golfo di Eubea. Di qui l'epiteto "la più lontana"

Secondo il mito, gli antichi antedoniesi erano i discendenti del dio marino Glauco, che si credeva nativo del luogo. Infatti, un'antica moneta di Antedone, ora conservata al Museo Archeologico di Calcide, reca sopra una delle facce una rappresentazione di Glauco.

Gli antedoniesi, secondo fonti antiche, erano diversi dalle altre genti della Beozia e verranno descritti come traci. Dicearco ci tramanda, inoltre, che questi erano principalmente carpentieri navali, marinai e pescatori, che come fonte di reddito avevano i commerci di pesce, spugne e porpora. Egli aggiunge che l'agorà era circondata da una doppia stoà piantumata con alberi. Un'altra importante fonte è Pausania il Periegeta che nella sua Periegesi della Grecia scrive che nel cuore della città c'era un boschetto dedicato ai Cabiri, al cui interno era presente un tempio di quelle divinità, e nei pressi un tempio di Demetra e Persefone. Fuori dalle mura cittadine era presente un tempio dedicato a Dioniso e una località non meglio specificata chiamata "Il salto di Glauco". Inoltre, il vino di Antedone era molto rinomato nell'antichità.

Scavi archeologici
Gli scavi archeologici che hanno avuto luogo finora hanno portato alla scoperta dei templi dei Cabiri, di Demetra e di Persefone, citati da Pausania. Nei pressi del porto è stata portata alla luce una basilica paleocristiana di età tardo-romana. Il porto di Antedone era molto grande per quei tempi: dai due moli, il bacino portuale potrebbe essere stato chiuso da una lunga catena al fine di proteggere i moli dalle incursioni nemiche e dai forti venti della regione. La città si spopolò durante il periodo bizantino a causa delle incursioni dei pirati. Gli antedoniesi furono costretti a trasferirsi nell'interno, alle pendici settentrionali del Monte Messapio (oggi Ktypas), dove fondarono un insediamento contadino che divenne il nucleo della odierna Loukissia. Per edificare il nuovo insediamento furono utilizzati materiali della vecchia città, con cui, per esempio, venne in parte costruita la piccola chiesa di San Giorgio, ora situata fuori Loukissia. Questa chiesa fornisce dati preziosi per lo studio dell'architettura bizantina in Grecia: a questo si deve il restauro finanziato dal Ministero della Cultura greco nel luglio 2010. Gli scavi dell'antico porto sono stati effettuati da un team di archeologi greci, tedeschi e americani.

Only recently moved into the area & was really surprised to find a pub serving such good quality food at such a reasonable price. 10 out of 10 for quality & value. Try the Sunday lunch, its a struggle to eat it all & the steaks on a Thursday are top notch, in town you'd easily be paying �15 + for them. Well worth a visit.
Lovely little pub with good hearty cooking. Went to book it for something to eat, but the number is wrong on this site.
It's actually 01440 821 847. I'll inform them this evening.
This pub is a traditional house, sixteenth century oak beamed bar with open fire and real ale in a tankard if this what you like. But the real feature is the home cooking provided by one of the proprietors Susan Smith; Chris Smith provides the ale. Always ask what has been cooked on the day. One day it�s steak pie another fish pie, etc. It really is very good food at modest prices.
I was there for lunch on Sunday last and it would be hard to beat for a traditional meal followed by home made apple pie for less than �10.
Visited on a Friday evening in Novemember, Warm and Cosy Pub, Very busy, furnished with comfortable old sofas and chairs, choice of Three real ales, the two I tried, Woodfordes Wherry and I can't recall the other, both seemed a bit tired, nothing actually wrong but lacked that extra zing, maybe they where both nearing the end of the barrel, I would certainly give the pub another visit.

Q: Can we filter messages from Amazon SQS queue by message attributes? For now I have tried to filter the messages based on Message Attribute Name="Class". As you can see in the below code
//Specify attribute list
        List<string> AttributesList = new List<string>();
        AttributesList.Add("Class");
        receiveMessageRequest.MessageAttributeNames = AttributesList;
        receiveMessageRequest.QueueUrl = urlSQS;
        receiveMessageRequest.MaxNumberOfMessages = 10;
        ReceiveMessageResponse receiveMessageResponse = objClient.ReceiveMessage(receiveMessageRequest);

But the messages are not been filtered based on the provided MessageAttributeName = "class".

A: Please note this regarding messaging services on AWS
SQS : No filtering support ( while picking up messages)
SNS : Supports attributes-based filtering: subscriber can set a subscription attribute (a subscription filter policy) which is applied on incoming messages and only relevant messages can be sent to the subscriber.
EventBridge:  Amazon EventBridge supports declarative filtering using event patterns. With event pattern content filtering you can write complex rules that only trigger under very specific conditions. For instance, you might want a rule that will trigger only when a field of the event is within a specific numeric range, if the event comes from a specific IP address, or only if a specific field does not exist in the event JSON.
Please refer my article for a detailed difference between main messaging frameworks on AWS.
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mastering-art-decoupling-application-architecture-aws-amit-meena/

A: receiveMessageRequest.MessageAttributeNames = AttributesList;

This tells SQS which message attributes you want it to return with the message if the are present on the message.  It is not a message filter.  If the attributes aren't present, nothing happens.
But your confusion seems understandable -- it's not actually obvious why the API even has this functionality, though it may be a holdover from when SQS supported only smaller messages than it does today, or it may be so that you can avoid spending any time parsing information from the response that you will end up discarding.  I almost always just ask for All.

A: It depends on how the message in question gets onto the queue. If you are pushing the message via SNS then yes you can filtered messages; https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sns/latest/dg/message-filtering.html
Any other filtering mechanism doesn't exist right now.
Hope that helps!

A: As per the AWS SDK method, we can use following code to do the filter.
 ReceiveMessageRequest receiveMessageRequest = new ReceiveMessageRequest("QUEUE URL" );
    receiveMessageRequest.setMaxNumberOfMessages(Integer.valueOf(1));
private static AmazonSQS sqs;
List<Message> messages = sqs.receiveMessage(receiveMessageRequest.withMessageAttributeNames("Attribute Name")).getMessages();

If you want all the message then use given code
    ReceiveMessageRequest receiveMessageRequest = new ReceiveMessageRequest("QUEUE URL" );
    receiveMessageRequest.setMaxNumberOfMessages(Integer.valueOf(1));
private static AmazonSQS sqs;
List<Message> messages = sqs.receiveMessage(receiveMessageRequest.withMessageAttributeNames("All")).getMessages();


It is becoming increasingly important for researchers to build an international profile. Networking can build greater visibility and catalyze research links between an Institute and other international centres of excellence. In turn, this can increase opportunities for funding research and potentially lead to enhanced career opportunities. The Research VISA offers research staff financial support (up to £2,500) to attend (or host) a national or international conference, workshop or seminar to present their research, or to deepen networks of contacts. Applications will be welcome from Institute Members only. Professor and Reader level staff, students and non-academic staff are not eligible to apply. The granting of a Research VISA is merit-based and preference will be given to researchers who present a convincing and purposeful case. Applications will be accepted at any time during the academic year and will be reviewed at monthly Institutes Management Board Meetings. Recipients of this award will be expected to deliver a Research Seminar detailing their research and outcomes from the award.
Research excellence is not only about publishing in internationally excellent outlets, it is also about winning research funding through the development of novel ideas and transformative research projects. The development of such research ideas often requires preliminary data. Small grants are available (up to £10,000) to support the development of ambitious, high risk, potentially disruptive ideas – to test a hypothesis or idea and gather preliminary data. As with the Research VISA Award, research development through an IDEA Award is merit-based. Proposals must not be a continuation of previous research, but rather be pump priming of a completely new and transformative research idea. Preference will be given to researchers who are able to present a convincing and compelling case to the Institute Management Board. Applications will be accepted at any time during the academic year and will be reviewed on a regular basis by the Institute Management Board (comprising of Directors from each of the Institutes). This funding scheme is intended to be light touch, allowing for a swift response. Successful completion of a Research IDEA Award may lead to an application to the RDF fund (through RSDO) to support further development of the idea into a research proposal.
£4,000- £25,000 for pump-priming novel innovative research projects, that are inter-disciplinary in nature and cross the boundaries between traditional disciplines. Applications to this scheme must combine the expertise of two or more researchers, usually members of different Research Institute Themes, and of different Research Institutes. Applications involving partnerships between non-Institute Researchers and Research Institute members are also encouraged. All project ideas must be in line with the research mission of one or more of the Research Institutes. Applications should normally be 2-3 pages long and no more than 5 pages. Short-listed proposers may then be asked to present their proposal to the Institute Management Board. This initiative is not intended to bridge funds for current staff on short-term contracts. Projects would normally be expected to begin within 2 months of notification of an award and run for a maximum of 12 months. Given the limited funds available, projects towards the higher end of this scale would have to have an especially compelling rationale to be successful. Please note, teaching relief is not an allowable cost under this initiative as this is covered under the University's Research Leave Scheme. Applicants who were unsuccessful in previous rounds can resubmit only if invited to do so. All applicants will be given feedback and may be encouraged to re-formulate their ideas in order to develop new proposals following feedback.
For further details of funding calls or to request copies of the application forms, please contact the Brunel Research Institutes Office (research-institutes@brunel.ac.uk).
Recipients of any award will be expected to produce a short report of their activities and may be asked to give a presentation.


Missed the chance to work for Harry and Meghan's florist or cake baker for their big day? In celebration of the recent Royal Wedding, Joblift has rounded up 10 jobs which give you the chance to meet the royals. Fancy bumping into Kate and Wills in a country pub? Or casually serving The Queen while she enjoys an afternoon tea? We've heard of the unusual job openings the Royal Household advertises themselves (hello, royal shoe-wearer…), but why not try landing a job at one of these regular royal hangouts to rub shoulders with the crown?
Want to work around the royal residents of Buckingham Palace?
The notoriously elegant, Claridge's is a favourite foodie hotspot of the royal Matriarch so landing a waiting job at the Michelin starred restaurant could be your best chance at meeting Queen Liz. In fact, check out the jobs available on Joblift at the moment. Alternatively, try Bellamy's, a French brasserie in Mayfair frequented by the Queen and other members. In terms of the newer royals, Bluebird in Chelsea is a rumoured favourite of Kate Middleton (and the cast of Made in Chelsea) and has a few opportunities on offer at the moment. Whereas, Ms. Markle favours the uber chic Chiltern Firehouse. Working as a Bartender or Cocktail Waitress here could see you earning a competitive salary.
Average Waiting staff salary in the UK: Often an hourly wage of around £6.13 (depending on age), but could vary.
To share a drink with our almost-married Prince, try looking for a job at The Brown Cow pub in Fulham. This is where Prince Harry toasted the birth of Prince George and where he headed to straight after he returned from his tour in Afghanistan. Alternatively, check out the numerous open vacancies at Annabel's, the private club in Mayfair. Once a favourite of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, the members-only hotspot has been frequented by Harry, Kate and Will. For another private experience, take a look at job openings at The Arts Club. Prince Philip is a patron of the creative arts club and Charles Dickens was once a member.
Average Bartender Salary: An hourly wage of around £6.83 (again depending on age and National Minimum Wage), and up to around £19,000 per year.
Just minutes from Buckingham Palace, The Goring's links with the Windsors family are longstanding. There is a secret side entrance for famous faces. Also, the hotel was the location of Kate Middleton's last night as an unmarried woman, before the Royal Wedding in 2011. Apply for the role of Night Porter now, who knows, maybe you'll be sneaking Her Majesty out as she returns to the palace. Reportedly the location of Meghan Markle's hen-do, Soho Farmhouse is a celeb-studded Cotswolds private-members club. Boasting a world-class spa, top restaurants and luxury cottages, there are plenty of jobs to suit. Owned by the Soho House franchise, you'll have a great chance to bump into the new royal and her Prince husband. Check out the open opportunities for chefs on Joblift here.
Average Night Porter wage: Around £19,500 a year.
Make sure the royal family are as comfortable as can be.
Iconic department store Fortnum & Mason is beloved by the royal family. Its tea shop and floors of high-class products are frequented regularly by the Windsors, new and old. Take a look at open vacancies here. However, why chance an encounter with a royal when you can work for one yourself? Rothesay Rooms, in the Scottish Highlands are owned by Prince Charles and feature a top hotel and local sourced Scottish cuisine, as well as the luxurious Highgrove Shop.
Average Shop Assistant wage: hourly wage of around £6.88 but varies greatly depending on seniority and responsibility.
For other royal hotspots, head to Richard Ward's salon in Sloane Square. The hairstylist famed for giving Kate Middleton her infamous blow dry has an apprenticeship scheme, as well as fixed term vacancies. Alternatively, in anticipation of a possible fourth royal baby, why not check out jobs at the private Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in London. Prince Louis may be here but landing a job in the exclusive maternity ward could see you meeting a new tiny royal in the future.


If you have come here from Maggi Harding's blog, Welcome. If you would like to start back tat the beginning, please go here to the Flying Unicorns blog.
Every year in the month of November, Flying Unicorn sponsors "Flying Unicorn Gives Back." This year, we've chosen a nationally recognized charity, Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah.
For each project that is uploaded to our forum gallery, Flying Unicorn donates $1.00 to a maximum of $1,000 and. we've always reached our goal. With your help this year we will again.! Flying Unicorn also donates 5% of all sales during the month of November to the charity. Finally, do not forget to mark your calendars for our Silent Auction November 8th - November 16th .
We have set up the Flying Unicorn page on the Best Friends site where monetary donations can be made as well to help us reach this years goal of $3000.00 in charitable donations.
Best Friends' mission of No More Homeless Pets tries to place dogs and cats who are considered "unadoptable" into good homes, and to reduce the number of unwanted pets through effective spay and neuter programs. Since its inception, the number of dogs and cats being destroyed in shelters has fallen to approximately 5 million a year. There has been much progress,but there is still much more to do. Best Friends made national headlines with their intensive efforts in rescuing so many animals in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina..
My project is of sweet Chena Harding. You probably have come from Maggi Harding's blog, where she has also done a memorial page of her darling precious pup. I felt it appropriate also.
Chena was such a special dog, and close to my heart as well. You see, Maggi is not just an internet scrappy friend, Maggi is also my personal "real - life" friend and I have been to her house several times. In fact, I am lovingly called "Auntie Jen" to her pups.
These are a few photos I snapped of Maggi and Chena, Sept 2012. The photos show their special relationship, and clearly capture Chena's darling personality. Oh what a little character she was.
I was with Chena on her last day. I am forever grateful and appreciative that I was able to snap some photos of her, see her, have her smile at me, love me up and see her excitement as I stepped in the door.
This kit is so perfect for a page about Chena.
I used some bubble wrap painted with gesso, a little fun accent that Shona often does - thanks Shona for the tip and trend.
The wooden butterflies were painted with gesso and then topped with seed beads.
Do not forget to join Alda and Shona this month with their process of making the below layouts. Alda will show you step by step on our You Tube Channel, while Shona has done a complete Build a Page for you all!
Want to win a Cameo-Silhouette?
Every $5.00 donated to Best Friends via our donation page will give you a chance to win!
Additional details can be found on our forums.
So hop on over to Jackie Clark -Jax's blog - for some additional eye candy fun and thank you for your support in giving back !
You can see this project at the Prima Marketing blog, here.
Halloween with Anna Marie - When I was a young girl, I would dress as a witch each year for Halloween, black hat and black dress. Not very creative, I know, but simple. I decided to take the beautiful, sweet Anna Marie collection and transform it into something spooky- to me this symbolizes the fun of trick'o'treat night. The one night of the year that sweet little girls can transform into something different.
I started off with a plain paper mache hat from Darice that stands about 10 inches tall. I covered in Anna Marie paper. I added Prima stenciling to the brim of the hat in black embossing paste.
Glued some black tulle trim to the edge of the hat and started to layer my embellishments.
I punched a hat band from Prima's All About Me collection - "Write Me" paper and topped it with some green tulle, green Web Weave trim and then black cheesecloth.
A midst the Prima floral cluster, the button type shapes are Prima Mechanicals Vintage Center metal pieces. I used a copper rub over them from Viva.
Here is a good shot of the Prima Mechanicals and the Viva Inca Gold copper rub that was used on the metal piece. The copper rub creates a wonderful effect on the metal.
(you can see those here ), and today is tag day and fun party ideas which can be found here.
Also check out the Glitz Blog...they have some amazing Prima/Glitz projects from their team as well!
The Prima gals are playing with The Glitz Raven collection this month. It is bold, bright and playful. I thought I'd have some fun with the tag and keep it on the playful and cheery side dressing it up with some beautiful Prima Marketing flowers and crystals - yet keeping it fun with the Junkyard Faucet Wheels.
I love those Junkyard Faucet wheels. They are fun, unique and fit right in with my cluster as a flower trinket outline.
I used a little black eyelash trim tucked here and there to continue with a little creepy Halloween effect. Well, about as creepy as a tag can get.
Happy Halloween and thanks for stopping.
This month the Flying Unicorns and Leaky Shed Studios Chipboards have teamed up.
My friend asked me to create a piece for a 60th Anniversary of two lovebirds. My friend supplied me with a special photo of her Nana and Papa in the early days of their marriage when Papa won his first business award. This is the very moment he received it and is happily pointing to the award. It is a great defining moment in their lives.
I showed my friend a whole selection of paper choices and color ideas that would help frame this sentimental image wonderfully. She chose a few papers and told me to do my thing for her.
In "Jen" fashion, I just could not decide which paper and look I personally liked best so I created two pieces and let her make the difficult decision. Then she could have one to keep as well.
The resulting pieces prove that the papers and the embellishments determine the overall feel and mood of the work. Chipboard is an important element adding dimension, sentiment, elegance, and providing an anchor for the image.
Chipboard does not need to be ornately finished. All of my chipboard pieces on this layout simply had a topcoat of Stampendous Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel. A little blast of my heat gun and BAM - done and elegant looking.
I frequently use chipboard neked or with a light coat of paint. It looks fabulous any way it's used.
This is the second piece created. I used the Leaky Shed Victorian Oval to make the fussy ornate paper frame pop and give it dimension. You can see it in the inside edge.
Once again, all the Leaky Shed chipboard on this piece below were topped with gold embossing powder -easy and no fuss. The frame also had a few Prima pearls in green for accent.
What I love about chipboard is that you can make it fit your needs and vision. I used the Ornate Corner shown above and cut it into four pieces. Yes, it is absolutely spectacular "as is", but I just wanted a certain look so I cut the two side pieces off and used them as flourishes to my frame. Then I used the bottom chipboard tip at the base of my frame.
The remaining piece was used at the top left corner of my page.
Thanks so much for visiting - grab up your Leaky Shed before it's gone!
Prima Marketing and Glitz have teamed up this month to swap products in celebration of October/Halloween and all things frightful. The bold Glitz Raven Collection is great for playful pieces or spooky pieces.
In true Prima spirit, they have some opportunities for you to play along and have some fun. You can check out the rules here and maybe win a prize from Prima.
Also check out the Glitz Blog...they are going to have some amazing Prima/Glitz projects from their team as well!
Prima Marketing is the best in the world when it comes to making pretty products but they have a whole lot of cool embellishments also that were perfect for my skeleton. My skeleton is not a girly piece. I chose some Prima Wood Icon Gear embellishments for his joints and his heart. I also thought the Junkyard Findings embellishments worked well here. I grabbed the Junkyard Findings Car Parts and Faucet Wheels.
Now for some of the Glitz Raven products used: I opted for the 6" paper pack because the smaller print papers were better for my skeleton. The Raven on his arm is from Glitz Whatnots. I added black feathers, some Prima black crystals and some sugar dots on the hat and eye.
I used the Glitz cobweb stamp for his head -his head is full of cobwebs. Today is Monday after all, so maybe it's just his typical Monday? Tues may be a better day for Mr Prima Bones.
Here is a little sample of the bold and fun Glitz Raven collection that I used.
I stuck the license plate from the Junkyard Findings Car Parts that says "Remember 2 Live your dream". I thought it was funny and ironic stuck on a skeleton. Dream away Bones.
Here is a close up of his head. The eyeballs are from the AW1202 Glitz Raven Collection Titles & Accent Stickers. I saw a set of eyeballs on the sheet so I added them. Yeah - I am completely aware that skeletons do not have eyeballs, nor do they usually have Ravens on their shoulder,s so anything goes with this guy.
I love that his head is full of cobwebs and he has "holes in his memory" thanks to Prima's honeycomb stamp (960810 Prima Clear Stamp Honeycomb). Maybe the holes will get filled with some Halloween sweets.
Black teeth are never a sign of good dental hygiene. Better get that checked out, Bones - better yet, cut back on the sweets, Bones.
And last photo is Bone's partner, the Raven. He is bedazzled in Prima sugar dots on this party hat and Prima black crystals on his wings. The black feathers I added make him pop a little more as well.
You can see the full list of Prima and Glitz products if you scroll down. Remember that product codes are used here as a reference tool to help expedite your internet shopping experiences .
I had so much fun matching the bold Glitz Raven collection with the fun and innovative embellishments from Prima Marketing.

Each month Maja Design has a Mood Board Challenge on their blog site. You can take inspiration from the photo, the words, the color palette - whatever moves you.
We are using Mood Boards for our challenges. We truly believe in creativity and art at Maja Design. You are free to interpret the Mood Boards in any way you'd like. They are supposed to set you in an inspirational mood without too much controlling. We would like you to be inspired by the poems, words and photos. They are not given rules, they are just there as inspiration. A jury will pick a winner and will consider how the colors and theme were used. All Mood Boards are inspired by a specific Maja collection, but you are free to use any Maja papers you'd like as long as they follow the color scheme.
We are presenting a new mood board the first Tuesday of every month. We will be presenting all participating creations that fulfill the requirements below October 29th. We will also draw a winner who will be winning a Maja Design collection of their own choice in 6×6 or 12×12.
After your creation is done, take a photo and send it to moodboard@majadesign.nu without any watermarks (size 600×600). Include your full name and address +phone number in the e-mail together with what collection you would like if you win. Don't forget to write down if you would like 6×6 or 12×12. We need your creation October 27th at the latest.
We will only publish creations that fulfill the requirements!
Hope those rules help! Why not play along? Go here to check this out.
I love the Maja Design Vintage Autumn Basic collection. And I have created some wood blocks to show my love. This is a wonderful warm collection that celebrates the vintage side of the Autumn season.
Each block is about 4 inches high and uniquely decorated. The wooden blocks were painted white first as were the individual letters. Then each letter was covered in Maja.
The "L" block has a layer of lace on the block, and the gate was made using a gate stencil and molding paste on an acrylic transparency sheet. By using an acrylic transparency sheet, I was able to cut around the molding paste and glue the gate form to my block - having the effect of a free standing gate on my block.
What am I talking about? Simple...the blue Maja paper in the background is just there to make my block stand out so you can see it better. My blocks are not mounted on the blue background paper. My gate is clear except for the parts that are stenciled in white molding paste.
I also used a piece of chipboard behind the flower and pearl floral berries.
Maybe you can see what I mean in this image. You can faintly see the outline of the gate stencil on the acrylic. A white stencil on a pure white background - phew! Hard to photo for the internet.
The "O" is covered in VAB XVIII BAS641.
This block has been stenciled first with molding paste before the letter was glued to it. The top of the block also has a piece of chipboard, some flowers and pearl berries.
The "V" block has a layer of lace, a chipboard butterfly, and more stenciling over acrylic as a background.
The "E" has been covered in Vintage Autumn Basics XXI BAS644. This block has been stenciled with molding paste and adorned with pearl berries, flowers, lace and some punching in Vintage Autumn Basics XII BAS635.
Now this is what the blocks look like without the blue background. As you can tell, the acrylic stencil backgrounds do not show up, which is why I decided to photograph on the darker background. But this image below shows how feminine and delicate the blocks are. The acrylic stencils look even better in person.
Thanks for stopping by today. Please check out Maja Design and "LIKE" them on Facebook.

Our tomatoes are getting on past their prime. Since they no longer meet out standard for quality, we have marked them down to $1.00 each. They will still grow and bear just fine, but they don't look good enough to have our name on them. We also have a few 4-packs left for $1.50 each. Come and get them while they last.
