"Can you make me a logo?" I have had this request three times this week. It turns out that one of the requests came from a pre-launch startup. I know the founders, understand their vision, and have worked with them for several months brainstorming, etc. Fulfilling their request was easy. I understand their target market, positioning, and product. Beginning to build them a brand identity is a reasonable request.
But when a unfamiliar startup asks me the same question, its a lot harder to deliver without doing the proper diligence.
Dude, its a basic building block for your company, that's why you want one so badly.
A logo is a nice end goal but in order to create an effective one, we need to understand what it represents. The logo is a major component of branding and the corporate brand is rooted in intuition. Not the intuition of the CEO or management team but of the customer. The term "branding" was first used to describe a burnt image into flesh using a hot poker. A corporate brand's goal is to be burnt into the brain, to be experienced and intuitively translated into objective associations. Companies compete for this neural real estate. So, we have our work cut out for us.
For a brand to launch it needs a strategy that incorporates, the names, colors, icons, imagery, and most importantly the desired positioning reflected in the message. Many entrepreneurs operate under the fallacy that if you have a superior product the rest will come. You have heard the cliches about great products staying on shelves or about large percentages of companies failing. Both of these primarily, and for arguments sake only, exist because of lack of marketing. Branding (and the logo) are worth getting right before you launch.
Understand the target market – what makes this company different and new?
Listen to what the founders want their company to stand for. Brainstorm for adjectives, draw pictures, anything emotionally based.
Use my tools – simple things like a thesaurus and google! What do these things mean to other people?
Sometimes, I can't figure out how to achieve an A+. Usually its because the product is so new and different just about anything would do, or the founders haven't done their homework and don't quite have a grasp on the 'what' and 'why'.
company that makes products for disabled persons, including braille books.
In summary: 1) define your target market based on your research, 2) hire someone that understands the fundamentals of branding AND knows design software, and 3) make your decision based on "logic" and what makes you happy! After all, you have to like it.
Please post comments on your thoughts and initial reactions. If you have any questions .. just ask!
Props to Chris Gammill for the conversations leading up to this post and help editing!
yes i like this logo,you are a creative man.

"Сцена в Раундхей Гардън" () е британски късометражен ням филм на режисьора Луи Льо Принс от 1888 година, заснет на 14 октомври същата година. Той е вторият филм на Льо Принс след "Мъж се разхожда на ъгъла" от предходната година.

Продукция
Кинолентата е заснета като експериментален филм, чиято цел е да се провери работоспособността на поредната хронофотографска камера, изобретена от Льо Принс. На заснетите кадри се вижда как роднините на режисьора се разхождат в градината на имението "Раундхей Гардън" в Оукууд Грейндж, предградие на Лийдс, Великобритания, което е било собственост на тъста и тъщата на Льо Принс, Джоузеф и Сара Уитли. На лентата се виждат и Адолф Льо Принс – син на режисьора, и Хариет Хартли. 10 дни след заснемането на филма, на 24 октомври 1888 година, на 72-годишна възраст почива Сара Уитли.

Технически особености
Филмът е заснет на ролирана фотохартия с ширина 54 милиметра, разработена през 1884 година от Джордж Истман и Уилям Уокър. За снимките е използвана хронофотографска камера с условно название "LPCCP Mk II" с обектив, предшественик на по-малко удачната камера с 16 обектива. Льо Принс е бил изобретил 2 такива камери, различаващи се несъществено една от друга. Според сведенията на Адолф Льо Принс, за кадрите в "Раундхей Гардън" е използван първия екземпляр, снимащ с 12 кадъра в секунда. Льо Принс никога не е монтирал кинолентата като завършен филм, а е съществувал като отделни кадри до 1930 година, когато е бил копиран на стъклена фотографска плака в Лондонския музей на науката, където дъщерята Мери на режисьора е предала оригиналния негатив, съдържащ 20 кадъра (1,66 секунди екранно време при честота 12 кадъра в секунда).

През 1989 година в "Британския национален медиямузей" в Брадфорд движещите се изображения са възпроизведени по цифровия метод, в резултат на което се получават 52 кадъра с времетраене от 2,11 секунди.

Number and end: I'm a 5-Plus heeler. I've been a heeler all my life and just last year started tying on. I'm a 5 header, but it's not something I work on all that much.
Association of Preference: My wife and I and another couple own Team Roping Canada, so that's where I primarily rope. But I also have a World Series card and National Amateur card and a USTRC card. I support them all.
Rope of Choice: I use a medium soft Classic Powerline Lite.
Best Horse You Ever Rode: A horse I called Skip. I sold him to Dean Tuftin in 2002. I hadn't seen him for probably two or three years. I went to a roping in Vegas about four or five years ago and parked by the horse corrals. In the morning, I got up and went out and I saw this horse standing in a pen right behind my trailer and thought, "That's Skip." I jumped over the pen and lifted up the corner of his blanket and saw my brand on him. Turns out Dean Tuftin sold him to Dugan Kelly and he sold him to a guy in California.
Favorite Roping: I've been to the World Series a couple times and I quite enjoy that. I've been to the Reno Rodeo Invitational, too. I've never done any good at either, but there's something about those ropings that gets your mojo running.
Why You Rope: I'm an addict. There's so many great people in the sport and they're all doing something they enjoy. It's a competitive sport, but it's not competitive among the competitors. It's more about putting your best foot forward against someone else's best foot.
Biggest Win: In 1998, me and a friend won the Open at the Canadian Team Roping Finals and we were not expected to do anything there, but we beat the best of Canada on that particular day. Memory-wise, that was the biggest.
Competition Philosophy: I try to do the best I can with what I have to work with.
Real Job: I have two aspects. I'm a farrier and I've been a farrier for 40 years.
What's Your Role with Team Roping Canada? We bought into it with another couple eight years ago. It's a big part of our life and a part of our income. We put some ropings on up there, the Canadian Team Roping Finals is probably one of the biggest team ropings in Canada. I also handicap the team ropers, we have around 1,000 members. We had a Team Roping Canada event in Arizona and out of the 280 teams, there were only two I didn't know.
percent of the ropers at the local jackpots in Arizona are Canadian. A lot of them are retired, but some people just take time off and come down for a few weeks for sunshine and roping.

Meditation is performed in a state of inner and outer stillness and concentration. The core objective of meditation is to channel awareness into a more positive direction by totally transforming one's state of mind and concentration. The individual preparing to meditate usually starts off by harnessing awareness, such as focusing the mind onto a certain object. Once attention gets engaged, concentration turns into meditation.
While there are a wide variety of meditation techniques, two main categories comprise all major forms. The first, concentrative meditation focuses the attention on the breath, an image or a sound, in order to still the mind and allow a greater awareness and clarity to emerge. Sitting silently and focusing on dynamics of breathing is concentrative meditation in its most basic form. Anxiety causes breathing to become shallow, rigid and uneven. In contrast in a state of tranquillity and calmness, breathing is slow, deep and even.
The purpose of the second category, mindfulness meditation is to increase awareness of the inundation of "sensations and feelings" around oneself, but at a distance. In mindfulness meditation, one experiences every aspect of the environment without consciously thinking about or reacting to it, thus gaining intense calmness and clarity.
Meditation is important to all aspects of our well being. All of us are confronted everyday with tasks to do and often this leads to worry that in turn inhibits clear thinking towards finding solutions. The underwater in every sense offers the most ideal environment for natural and unconscious pathway to meditation at its best.
In water, the environment and awareness of breathing creates a natural relaxed state. It is not enough to simply be relaxed, the diver needs to be focused, totally aware of his or her depth, position, and resources to permit him or her to take better and safer decisions. Zen Harmony Mediation teaches the practices required for skilful and skilfully controlled response to any underwater situation scuba divers and any on-surface-water situation for snorkelers. Achieving a meditative focus during scuba diving as well as during snorkelling empowers the focus to truly see and feel the beauty of the oceanic water world.
Zen Harmony Meditation is an important part of Zen Harmony pre dive process.

why do people color eggs on easter
What is Easter about? Easter is a Christian festival that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Bible says Christ died on the cross on Good Friday and came back to life three days later. Easter is on different dates each year, between 21 March and 25 April, depending on when there's a full moon in spring. There are some unusual modern traditions associated with it. Why do we have Easter eggs? A lot of us may chomp on chocolate eggs at Easter, but originally eating eggs was not allowed by the church during the week leading up to Easter (known as Holy Week). So any eggs laid that week were saved and decorated to make them "Holy Week eggs", then given to children as gifts. Victorians adapted the tradition with satin-covered cardboard eggs filled with Easter gifts. Why are Easter eggs made of chocolate? The first chocolate eggs appeared in France and Germany in the 19th Century but were bitter and hard. As chocolate-making techniques improved, hollow eggs like the ones we have today were developed. They very quickly became popular and remain popular today. What's the Easter Bunny then? The story of the Easter Bunny is thought to have become common in the 19th Century. Rabbits usually give birth to a big litter of babies (called kittens), so they became a symbol of new life.
Legend has it that the Easter Bunny lays, decorates and hides eggs as they are also a symbol of new life. It doesn't do all the work alone though. In Switzerland, Easter eggs are delivered by a cuckoo, and by a fox in parts of Germany.
Food Historian Bruce Kraig takes a look at the Christian Holy Day. Colored eggs, chocolate rabbits, baked hams and roasted lamb. These are all foods we prepare and enjoy at Easter. But have you ever wondered how these traditions evolved or why eat these foods at Easter time? Food historian Bruce Kraig explains: The main Christian holy day (actually more than a month) celebrates Jesus' resurrection, but the idea of rebirth in the spring season and many customs come from older observances. The name Easter is used in English speaking countries-in other countries it's some version of Paschal. That word comes from the Hebrew Pesach, or Passover because Jesus' Last Supper was likely a Seder. Easter comes from an early German/Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn-rebirth of the year, Eostre. Her symbol was a rabbit that laid eggs. Egg symbolism is even older than that. The earliest representations date to at least 7,000 year ago in the Neolithic civilizations of Eastern Europe- eggs, female deities, even the color red and designs on modern Easter eggs are found there.
Hot cross buns (I'll show them) probably come from Eostre celebrations-the cross is ancient Anglo-Saxon symbol, from at least the 5th century AD. Hatching eggs remind people of newborn or reborn life and rabbits are prolific breeders especially in the spring. Because Christians are supposed to observe Lent before Easter and can't eat eggs or meat, you can see why these two would become important foods when Lent is ended. Decorating Easter eggs dates to Medieval Europe; so does egg rolling. In America, dyed and decorated Easter eggs were brought by Germans in the later 18th and 19th centuries, especially Pennsylvania Dutch. They became popular during the 19th century as Easter celebrations became more focused on children-it's fun. Other ethic groups, Greeks for instance, use red-that's as old as the Neolithic and blood means new life. Hiding and hunting eggs might mean hunting for a suitable mate, but more likely comes from rural traditions when people would have to find eggs laid in fields and hedges by chickens and other birds. It also means hunting rabbits. This, too, became a children's game (that's happened to lots of our holiday customs-like Halloween).
Eggs are a big part of Easter foods, whether eaten alone or in all the fancy baked breads of the season. If Jesus ate meat at the Last Supper, it would have been lamb. Jewish Passover traditions call for lamb, and so do most European traditions. But, in north Europe pigs, were always important. Hams, from pigs slaughtered in the winter, then salted and smoked were ready to eat in the spring-before fresh meats were available. This is especially true in North America where lamb was never an important meat. Easter/Spring is supposed to make people happy (as in the end of winter in Chicago) and what could make us happier than sugar and theobromide-chocolate? That's a 19th century invention; chocolate eggs, rabbits, chicks and the like because hardened chocolate candies weren't invented until about 1850 and not popular until the late 1870s (it's a matter of technology). Besides, when egg production became industrialized, egg gifts did not seem too special. Chocolate, now more widely available, is always welcomed because we love it. New production methods allowed mass production of filled chocolate candies-creams, especially, so Easter confections moved from boutique candy makers to the wider retail market. Chocolate candies became cheaper and cheaper, especially as less and less chocolate was used (maybe 15% in most common candies) and by the 20th century the market was flooded with holiday candies.
Valentine's Day and Christmas are two other big ones. If you're not going out to catch a rabbit or hunt up eggs in fields, then just buy some candy avatars-especially marshmallow Peeps (how about blue ones? ). Bruce Kraig is the founding President of Culinary Historians of Chicago. With a Ph. D. in History and Archaeology, Dr. Kraig is Professor Emeritus in History and Humanities at Roosevelt University, Chicago. An internationally recognized food historian, he has been host and writer for a series of award-winning food documentaries for PBS. Dr. Kraig has also appeared on ABC National News, Good Morning America, and BBC News. He delivered the keynote address to America's food editors at the 1998 Pillsbury Bake-Off, and is a regular speaker at the Oxford (England) Symposium on Food and Cookery.

Japanese schools are strict. This is evident in the students, in their high grades and uniformly respectful demeanours. HOWEVER: This is not achieved easily. No, myriad crazy steps occur in the formation of these upstanding young adults.
What I learnt this week: at Junior High Schools, it is a general school rule that the students may not dye their hair. (ASIDE: I think this is a sensible rule a) because Japanese hair does not dye well or easily, and often looks it most beautiful and luscious in its natural, ebony state and b) I really wish someone had intervened when I was 13 and stopped me from using Sunsilk Custom Highlights). Now, in any Western school that had this rule, the offending student might be suspended, or be given an official warning, or detention, or some such formulaic punishment. In the Japanese school - wait for it - the student will be taken to the front of the class, given a small towel to protect their uniform, and have their hair SPRAY PAINTED BLACK BY THE TEACHER. I am astounded by this, and also amused. I like how it could only be utilized as a remedy in a country such as Japan, where the majority of the population have the exact same hair colour. Can you imagine the same punishment being issued in NZ?
"Stand still, Amy, while I cover up these honey highlights"
"But the hair spray is BLACK. My natural hair colour is BLONDE"
"Well, you shoulda thought of that before you got these highlights, no? Stand still!"
A fellow JET reports sitting on the bus behind a group of dangerous criminals junior high school students who pulled wet wipes from their bags and calmly ran them through their hair, stripping off the spray paint and revealing the bleached bangs beneath.
Perhaps just as strange is another story I heard, this time concerning a Senior High School. On the first day of attendance at this school, each student will have their hair colour checked against a chart, where it will be matched to one of the six accepted natural shades of Japanese hair (Really Black, Black, Mostly Black, Light Black, Lighter Black, Almost Brown You Giant Weirdo). Then, in the last weeks of their attendance at the school, just before graduation, the charts will be brought back out, and if the hair colour has been altered from the original shade, the offending student must immediately take steps to restore natural colour, otherwise permission to graduate will be withheld.
"Aha! Two years ago your hair was BLACK! Now it is clearly LIGHT BLACK!"
"But... The sun... The natural aging process.... My harsh shampoo..."
"No excuses! No graduation! NO CAREER! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA...."
Delinquent. Also, possible Sunsilk user.


There are many dangers of drug abuse. When an individual uses drugs, there is nothing but negative side effects. Drugs may give individuals the high that they crave, but the dangers of drug abuse are very serious. Abusing narcotics, such as heroin, can cause serious health conditions such as respiratory, as well as circulatory depression, impotence, and can cause sickness from withdrawal. The sickness from withdrawal is one of the causes of addiction. An individual continues to use in order to avoid withdrawal.
Other drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, hashish, and stimulants can cause health problems such as memory impairment, rapid heart rate, infertility, weakened immune system, and psychosis. Drug abuse can also cause heart failure. The risks and dangers of drug abuse outweigh the high that these drugs provide.
Abusing drugs is very serious. Addicts need to receive professional drug abuse treatment in order to fight their addiction and live a sober life. With treatment, clients are given the tools to live drug free and resist temptation once they are released from treatment. Treatment is the best option for anyone who has a problem with drug abuse.
Abusing prescription drugs can cause seizures and coma. These serious dangers can lead to death. Abusing drugs, whether they are prescription or not, is very dangerous. Luckily, with treatment, clients can fight their addiction and save their lives. Drugs are extremely harsh on the body, and can eventually lead to death.
There are so many dangers of drug abuse, why not stop using now and get treatment?

Yes, COVID-19 is the leading cause of death for on-duty law enforcement officers so far in 2021
A nonprofit that tracks law enforcement line-of-duty deaths says there have been more than 300 deaths so far in 2021. Nearly 200 have been linked to COVID-19.
Author: Nate Hanson

People across the country are aware of the dangers law enforcement officers face doing their jobs. And while many think of danger in terms of shootings and other forms of violence, one VERIFY viewer wondered about a different threat law enforcement has faced over the last year and a half: COVID-19.
Deborah said she had seen reports that COVID-19 was the leading cause of death for law enforcement officers and wanted to know if that was true.
Is COVID-19 the leading cause of death for on-duty law enforcement officers so far in 2021?
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund
Tony Whitmire, chief of Lake City Police Department in Georgia
Chris Loftis, director of communications for Washington State Patrol
Yes, COVID-19 is the leading cause of death for on-duty law enforcement officers so far in 2021. It was also the leading cause of death in 2020.
Two nonprofit organizations, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and the Officer Down Memorial Page, track law enforcement line-of-duty deaths in the United States. The organizations consider police officers, sheriff's deputies, officers in federal agencies with the power to arrest, correctional officers, and military police officers performing typical law enforcement duties as law enforcement officers.
A banner on the Officer Down Memorial Page website says, "COVID is the #1 killer of LEOs [law enforcement officers] in 2020 and 2021."
The Officer Down Memorial Page considers COVID-19 the cause of a line-of-duty death when it's determined an officer contracted the virus as a direct result of their duties.
"Evidence of a direct relation between a duty-related incident and the contraction of a disease or illness must be presented in the form of official documentation," the group says.
According to Officer Down Memorial Page data, there have been 316 line-of-duty deaths in 2021, as of Sept. 29. Of those deaths, 198 have been linked to officers contracting COVID-19 while on duty. Gunfire, which is the second-leading line-of-duty cause of death, has led to 43 deaths so far in 2021.

Causes of law enforcement line-of-duty deaths in 2021, as of Sept. 29.
The Officer Down Memorial Page says there were 372 total line-of-duty deaths in 2020, including 243 deaths linked to COVID-19.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund releases mid-year and full-year fatality reports. In the 2021 mid-year report, the group identified 155 federal, state, tribal and local law enforcement officers who had died in the line of duty as of June 30. Of the 155 officers who had died, 71 died "as a result of contracting [COVID-19] while executing official duties."
"The 155 line-of-duty deaths are on a pace to exceed the 295 law enforcement fatalities recorded in 2020, which was the second-highest total on record," the group said in the report. "At this rate, officer line-of-duty deaths could near the 1930 toll of 312 fatalities, which is the most ever recorded by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund in a single year."
One law enforcement agency hit especially hard by COVID-19 has been the Lake City Police Department in Georgia. Police chief Tony Whitmire said within five weeks, two officers in the 16-officer department died after contracting COVID-19 -- and their deaths were determined to be line-of-duty deaths.
"I've been in this business a little over 40 years, and I don't know that anything has affected law enforcement like this has," Whitmire said of the pandemic.
Whitmire said it's not surprising to him that COVID-19 has been the leading cause of death for on-duty law enforcement officers. That's because while officers can take safety measures such as wearing masks, social distancing and getting vaccinated, they can't eliminate contact with the public.
"We can't work from home, we can't really isolate, we have to be out there," Whitmire said. "Just because the pandemic was here and folks were isolating and not going to work and all those kinds of things didn't mean that we still didn't have calls to answer and people that needed help."
In Washington, a state patrol detective, 38-year-old Eric Gunderson, died on Sept. 26 from COVID-19. Chris Loftis, director of communications for Washington State Patrol, said Gunderson was traveling while representing the agency when he contracted COVID-19.
"We lost a family member," Loftis said.
He said Gunderson's death is another tragic example of how dangerous COVID-19 is, and the risks law enforcement officers take every day doing their job.
"We cannot isolate ourselves. Our business is the people's business," Loftis said. "Detective Gunderson's loss has just made it that much more real to us because it's not just a statistic or a name on the news. It's a person we know."

#NK missile
(2nd LD) N. Korea fires short-range projectiles into East Sea
All Headlines 11:20 May 04, 2019
(ATTN: CHANGES slug, headline; UPDATES throughout to change missiles to projectiles in accordance with JCS modification; ADDS more details, background throughout, photo; CORRECTS distance projectiles flew)
By Oh Seok-min
SEOUL, May 4 (Yonhap) -- North Korea fired a barrage of unidentified short-range projectiles into the East Sea on Saturday, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said, in apparent saber-rattling amid stalled nuclear talks with the United States.
The JCS had earlier said the North fired multiple short-range "missiles" but later revised the announcement to portray what was fired only as "projectiles." The projectiles were fired from areas near the east coast town of Wonsan between 9:06 a.m. and 9:27 a.m., the JCS said.
The change suggests the firings could have involved multiple rocket launchers, not missiles.
"What the North fired this time is not a ballistic missile," a military official said.
The projectiles flew about 70 kilometers to 200 kilometers, the JCS said, adding that South Korean and U.S. authorities are analyzing details of the projectiles and the intention behind the firings.
"Our military has been closely watching North Korea's movements and has maintained a full-fledged posture in close coordination with the U.S.," the JCS said.
Last month, North Korea test-fired what it called "the new tactical guided weapon," which, according to Seoul authorities, appeared to be a guided weapon for ground combat.
The firings were seen as a message to the U.S. amid a deadlock in their denuclearization negotiations. February's summit in Hanoi between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un collapsed without a deal.
The North wants sanctions relief in exchange for partial denuclearization measures. But the U.S. has rejected the demand, insisting that it won't relax sanctions until the communist nation's complete denuclearization.

Sheehans Give Choir Workshop at OCA National Cathedral
From February 8 to 10, St. Nicholas Cathedral in Washington, DC, the OCA's primatial cathedral, hosted a choir workshop with Benedict and Maria Sheehan. Benedict is Director of Music at St. Tikhon's Seminary and Monastery, and Maria teaches Music Theory and Voice at St. Tikhon's. The workshop was attended by members of the St. Nicholas Cathedral Choir as well as a number of guest singers and directors from the DC area.
The workshop began on Friday evening, February 8, with a lecture and discussion entitled "The Next Ten Years: The Work of Orthodox Musicians in America." During the lecture the Sheehans emphasized the need for serious reinvestment in liturgical music over the next decade, or else, they warned, we risk losing much of the musical richness we take for granted in church today. They said much has already been lost, and they expressed the conviction that the next decade will prove pivotal in determining whether this damage is irreparable or not. They also emphasized the importance of cathedrals, especially ones as prominent as St. Nicholas, being willing to take up the mantle of musical leadership within the Church at large. "Liturgical music," Benedict argued, "is one of the Church's most powerful evangelical tools, provided the tradition is sufficiently valued and sustained. Investing time and resources in it will pay dividends."
The workshop continued Saturday morning with an intensive session on vocal technique with Maria, an experienced singer and vocal music educator. During her methodical presentation, she helped participants realize that vocal technique is really a form of physical fitness that requires daily investment. "We have to forge deliberate technical paths to vocal fitness," she said, "given our present age in which music tends to be consumed rather than made, and most people no longer sing every day." Maria's session was followed in the afternoon by repertoire rehearsal and ensemble building with Benedict. Maestro Sheehan also worked on conducting and rehearsal technique with the cathedral's music director, pianist and conductor Serge Romanchak, and with assistant directors Elena Forrest, Kevin Fritts, Andrea Lutov, and Kirill Reimann.
On Sunday morning, Maria led a warm-up and vocal technique "refresher" class with workshop participants, and the assembled choir sang Divine Liturgy. The Liturgy was celebrated by the cathedral's associate pastors, Archpriest George Kokhno and Archpriest Valery Shemchuk, along with Archpriest Dennis Bradley and Deacon Igor Panyutin. Fr. George thanked the Sheehans in his homily and expressed his hope that this was the first of many such workshops.
The weekend's efforts concluded Sunday afternoon with a wrap-up question and answer period about what specifically the St. Nicholas Cathedral community can do to strengthen its music program going forward. Those assembled, along with Fr. George and Mr. Romanchak, expressed eagerness for the Sheehans to forge an ongoing relationship with St. Nicholas and to help them build up their choir.
The Sheehans' next workshop will be held at William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri, from March 21 to 24. Their next parish workshop will be at Christ the Savior Orthodox Church in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, from April 5 to 7. They also gave a workshop in January at St. Michael's Antiochian Orthodox Church in Louisville, Kentucky.

2021 Free Agency
Every Mavericks 2021 free agency rumor, Part 2
Once more unto the breach, free agency is closing in.
By Josh Bowe@Boweman55 Aug 1, 2021, 9:59pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Every Mavericks 2021 free agency rumor, Part 2
Photo by Glenn James/NBAE via Getty Images
Editor's note: Our posts only leave the comments on for 30 days after publishing, so we're republishing our rumors post again so we can continue the comments thread as free agency starts. Click here to hear Josh and Kirk speak on pre-agency.
A pivotal offseason is nearing for the Mavericks. After two straight disappointing playoff exits with Luka Doncic playing like an MVP, Dallas cleaned house, with coach Rick Carlisle and longtime general manager Donnie Nelson leaving the franchise. With that change, expectations rise for new opportunities.
The Mavericks are clearly not OK with the results the two playoffs, so we can possibly expect a raucous free agency. We'll round up every rumor, much like we've done before, so you can bookmark this page or check back often to see every new rumor.
August 2, 12:54 p.m.—Grant Afseth of Dallas Basketball reports that the Mavericks aren't expect to land either of Kyle Lowry or DeMar DeRozan.
The Dallas Mavericks are not expected to be the team to land either Kyle Lowry or DeMar DeRozan in free agency, a league source tells @MavericksSI.
Lowry was believed to be the Mavericks' top target ahead of free agency to add a secondary ball-hander next to Luka Doncic.
— Grant Afseth (@GrantAfseth) August 2, 2021
Lowry to Miami has seemed to be almost a done deal for a day or so now, but DeRozan being off the table for the Mavericks is a new development. There were no rumors that the Mavericks and DeRozan were close to a deal, however. Dallas will have to search elsewhere for the secondary ballhandler they need to pair with Luka Doncic.
August 2, 12:00 p.m.—Marc Stein reports that Luka Doncic will not sign his five year, $202 million extension until after his run with the Slovenian national team at the Olympics. Stein also reports that the Mavericks bringing back Boban Marjanovic is "the one certainty about the Mavericks offseason..."
The news regarding Doncic should come as no surprise, as he's consistently shooed away any questions regarding the Mavericks or the NBA. He's laser focused on the Olympics right now.
Bringing back Marjanovic makes sense, as he and Doncic are very close, but re-signing him being the only certainty for this Mavericks front office is a little disconcerting, to say the least.
August 2, 8:00 a.m.—Jackie MacMullen of ESPN, while on the Bill Simmons podcast, mentioned that she's heard Laurie Markkanen wants to come to Dallas to team up with Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis.
The comment is around the 1:05:00 mark of the podcast, and there's some other Mavericks discussion as well. It's the first inkling of a connection between Dallas and Markkanen. The fourth year forward out of Arizona averaged 13.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game last season. He's only played in more than 52 games once in his career, though, and that was his rookie season when he appeared in 68. The Mavericks would probably be hesitant to bring aboard a player with an injury history like Markkanen unless the contract is a bargain.
August 1, 4:56 — Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report reports Tim Hardaway Jr. is no longer the Mavericks' first priority heading into free agency
Dallas has been linked a lot to Richaun Holmes, Kelly Oubre and THJ.
Also says that it was reported that THJ was their priority headed into free agency. Isn't the case anymore.
— Esfandiar | Es (@JustEsBaraheni) August 1, 2021
That's a little jarring considering Stein continuously reported the Mavericks' two priorities were inking a deal with Lowry and re-signing Hardaway. Something seems up with the front office.
Hardaway is coming off a tremendous year where he averaged 16 points while shooting 39 percent from three, and he was quite literally the only Maverick capable of generating his own bucket aside from Luka Doncic. As a gunner capable of popping off for 30-plus points any given night, the Mavericks better tread carefully. There aren't many players like Hardaway (even with his flaws) on the market.
However, Fischer also noted the Mavericks were being linked frequently to Richaun Holmes and Kelly Oubre Jr. With the Mavericks picking up Willie Cauley-Stein's option and likely reaching an agreement with Boban Marjanovic, Holmes would enter a crowded frontcourt. Oubre would represent a desperation free-agent signing.
August 1, 3:00 p.m — Marc Stein reports there is "extreme confidence" Dallas will re-sign Boban Marjanovic
Extreme confidence in Dallas that they will re-sign popular center Boban Marjanovic, league sources say.
More free agency from me all week via https://t.co/A6ycVmnrjq
— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) August 1, 2021
What a bomb. Marjanovic averaged 4.7 points and 3.9 rebounds in only 33 games for the Mavericks last season but averaged 12 points and eight rebounds in four playoff games against the Clippers.
As a team/fan/organization favorite, it's not a total head-scratching move, but it is a little bewildering this was the first leak to come out regarding the Mavericks' plans with Lowry all but headed to Miami. The Mavericks' sights were (and should still be) set much higher than the 13th, 14th or 15th man on the roster at this point.
August 1, 1:20 p.m — Miami Heat pick up Goran Dragic's $19.4 million player option for next season
It was later reported that this was a necessary step for a likely (if not imminent) sign-and-trade between the Heat and Raptors sending Kyle Lowry to Miami. This effectively ends the Mavericks' pursuit of Lowry.
Of course, things can change, but it seems the player the Mavericks were heavily targeting in free agency is off the board before free agency even began.
July 28, 12:15 p.m — Mavericks expected to offer Kyle Lowry three year, $90 million deal
Speaking on Spotify Greenroom, Marc Stein stated the Mavericks offer to Lowry, but also noted that the Pelicans, who recently made moves to open up cap space, could come in and offer close the $36 million annually. Stein also noted that the Heat and 76ers have long been interested in Lowry, but his comments today sounded like the Mavericks and Pelicans were in an arms race to sign the 35-year-old point guard.
July 27, 12:45 p.m. — Mavericks focusing on retaining Tim Hardaway Jr., landing Kyle Lowry
Marc Stein — one of the media members most connected to the Dallas front office — has noted some changes to the team's free agency plan in his newsletter. While Dallas was expected to play wait-and-see with Kawhi Leonard, Stein says the Mavericks have scrapped those plans. Instead, the team will now focus their energy on re-signing Tim Hardaway Jr. and also attempt to land veteran point guard Kyle Lowry.
July 27, 10:35 a.m. — Mavericks potentially interested in Goran Dragic
Brian Windhorst from ESPN said during a podcast that Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic has "lots of fans" in front offices of the Mavericks and Pelicans.
There's been a lot of noise about Dragic and the Mavericks ever since Dallas drafted his Slovenian teammate Luka Doncic in 2018. During free agency in 2019, the Mavericks were thought to have traded for Dragic in what ended up being a botched trade between Miami and Dallas. Dragic and Doncic share the same agent and the Mavericks still need guard help, so the fit makes sense, even at Dragic's age.
July 27, 10:30 a.m. — Mavericks offering Josh Richardson in trade talks
According to Jake Fischer from Bleacher Report, the Dallas Mavericks are discussing trades with Josh Richardson.
Richardson just finished his first season in Dallas after being acquired last year for Seth Curry. The trade was obviously a disaster, with Richardson shooting a career-worst from three and barely improving in any of his career marks, despite playing next to Luka Doncic and the more open Mavericks offense. Defensively, he wasn't the difference maker the Mavericks hoped.
Richardson has an $11 million player option that makes sense for him to opt-in to, considering how low his stock is right now. If so, it makes sense for the Mavericks to move on.
July 22, 10:30 a.m. — Mavericks expected to pursue Richaun Holmes
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Dallas Mavericks are expected to pursue Richaun Holmes after two breakout seasons with the Sacramento Kings. Charania also noted that the Charlotte Hornets were also expected to show interest in Holmes.
In his sixth season, Holmes turned in a career year averaging 14.2 points and 8.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.6 blocks while shooting 64 percent from the field. Holmes could command a deal somewhere between $15-$20 million per year according to The Sacramento Bee.
July 16, 12:30 p.m. — Mavericks not detered by Kawhi Leonard's surgery; Nico Harrison a hot commodity
NBA reporter Marc Stein dropped some Mavericks-related nuggets in a post to his substack Friday morning. The two Mavs related topics revolved around the Mavericks interest in Kawhi Leonard and how sought after Nico Harrison was across the league.
Stein writes that Leonard's recent ACL injury and surgery are not deterring the Mavericks interest in pursuing him this summer in free agency.
"Dallas, just to name one expected suitor, will not be dissuaded from pursuing Leonard even if he's forced to miss all of next season, league sources say," Stein wrote.
On Harrison, Stein reports that both the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs had great interest in bringing Harrison into their organizations.
July 14, 1:09 p.m. — Mavericks interested in former Mavs great Nerlens Noel
After a successful season with the resurgent New York Knicks, center Nerlens Noel is entering free agency. Several teams will kick the tires on the seven-year veteran, including the Dallas Mavericks, SNYtv's Ian Begley reports.
According to league sources, Begley says, the Mavericks, Brooklyn Nets, Toronto Raptors, and Charlotte Hornets are all interested in Noel's talent. This season, he averaged 5.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 2.2 blocks in 24 minutes per game. Noel appeared in 64 games with the Knicks and started 41.
July 9, 10:08 a.m. — Mavericks interested in Spencer Dinwiddie?
Report: Mavericks interested in signing Spencer Dinwiddie this offseason https://t.co/UNnMNPQxkq
— NBA Central (@TheNBACentral) July 9, 2021
According to The New York Daily News, the Mavericks have shown interest in signing Spencer Dinwiddie. Dinwiddie would be an attempt to solve the secondary ball handler issues that have plagued the Mavericks during the Luka Doncic era.
Dinwiddie does not appear to be a perfect fit with Luka due to his mediocre 3-point shooting. However, his catch and shoot percentages show promise that he could improve if spoon fed the types of looks Luka often gets his teammates. In addition he would most certainly represent an upgrade in pure talent and athleticism for the Mavericks.
July 2, 7:20 a.m. — Mavericks chasing Mike Conley
According to The Athletic's John Hollinger, the Mavericks appear to be in the market for free agent point guard Mike Conley. Conley just wrapped up a contract he signed with the Grizzlies in 2016, but finished with the Jazz. Utah has been an impressive regular season team the last two seasons, but have failed to reach the conference finals.
"The team to watch with Conley is Dallas, though," Hollinger told Nate Duncan on a recent episode of Duncan's podcast. "I mean, they were the team that was after him when he was a free agent last time and he re-signed with Memphis. Yeah, I would definitely keep an eye on Dallas."
As Hollinger notes, and we wrote about at the time, the Mavericks were very interested in Conley before he re-signed with Memphis back in 2016. It would be very Mavericks to acquire Conley now, at the tail end of his career after failing to grab him closer to his prime, much like what happened with Deron Williams.
July 1, 7:57 a.m. — Mavericks in the hunt for Kawhi Leonard?
Oh boy, here we go. From The Ringer's Kevin O'Conner's piece that looks at the Clippers and where they go from here after losing to the Suns in the Western Conference Finals.
But Leonard can exercise his player option and become an unrestricted free agent this summer. No one knows what's truly going on inside Leonard's head, but front office executives and agents around the NBA often gossip about the possibility that he leaves since teams are lining up and conspiring to get him.
The Mavericks and Heat plan to make a hard push to acquire Leonard, league sources say. The Knicks will also pursue any superstar that becomes available, and a long list of other suitors would at least make an attempt if he hits the market. Who wouldn't want a 30-year-old two-time Finals MVP still performing at an All-NBA level?
Dallas is considered by some executives to be the most serious threat to land Kawhi because of Luka Doncic's presence and the front office's ability to create maximum cap space or work out a sign-and-trade. During Leonard's years with Nike, he also developed a good relationship with Nico Harrison, the Mavs' new general manager and a former longtime executive at the company.
Leonard would obviously be the biggest free agent signing in Mavericks history if they somehow pulled it off, but it seems highly improbable Leonard wants to leave Southern California, after he made such a big stink during his time in San Antonio and even Toronto to make sure he got there. Hell, Leonard threw away a potential dynasty in Toronto just to get back to California. Why would he leave after just two seasons?
Anyway, with how poorly the Mavericks have done in the playoffs with Luka Doncic, expect the Mavericks to be attached to every single name that could be available. The Mavericks are likely hungry for massive upgrades and, well, agents sure do love to use that leverage for their clients.

Cancer Hub delivers treatment during coronavirus pandemic
A new approach to cancer care across the capital has been introduced to ensure patients get the lifesaving treatments they need during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Cancer services across London are now being coordinated by specialist 'Cancer Hubs' led by The Royal Marsden with The Royal Marsden's local cancer alliance RM Partners, University College London Hospitals and Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals. They are working with major teaching hospitals including the Royal Free, Barts Health and Imperial, as well as local hospital partners.
In May 2020, The Royal Marsden hub operated on over 761 patients from 10 Trusts across London. This has increased to over 1454 patients to date, whose surgery would not have been possible without the Cancer Hub.
The Hub ensures NHS hospitals continue to deliver as much cancer treatment as possible across the capital, with an initial focus on surgery, which requires critical care beds.
It has also supported hospitals across the NHS and independent sector to work together to maximise capacity and ensure that people receive the treatment that they need.
Patients remain under the care of their doctor or nurse specialist at the trust where they are currently being cared for, however they may move to another site for surgery. The aim is to match patients who require cancer surgery with available capacity and the right expert clinical team, coordinating the specialist cancer workforce across the capital.
Decisions about the best approach to treatment will continue to be taken by specialist cancer doctors with their patients.
Dr Vin Diwakar, medical director for the NHS in London, said:
"Every NHS hospital is rightly carrying out as much cancer treatment as possible, while clearly needing to balance this against the risk to individuals posed by coronavirus.
"The coronavirus pandemic is the biggest health threat this country has faced in a century and the biggest challenge our health service has ever faced, which is exactly why the NHS is already increasing treatment capacity across all hospitals, while getting on with other options too, including new facilities and a landmark deal with private hospitals."

Microsoft EFS has gone through a few changes over the years, depending on the OS you're trying to recover EFS data from you may have to use different tactics. Overall however 3rd party recovery solutions like that of Passware or Elcomsoft's AEFSDR make recovery simpler by doing several steps for you. We will discuss the Microsoft EFS recovery tips, and then the 3rd party tips.
The article above list's several do's and don'ts the users are expected to know how to do. Exporting the keys/certificates to removable media being the single most important one from a security perspective. While this is a best practice it's also a little too much to ask or expect from a "user" to do. Creating recovery agent's is also a task not suited to users who probably don't use CLI tools like cipher.exe. EFS can often give people a false sense of security regarding their data. See my other article about choosing the right encryption for your needs.
New files added to this directory will be encrypted.
While the above does not list the local administrator, the local admin is able to decrypt the folder. If this were a domain joined PC, the Domain Administrator would also be able to decrypt (and or add DRA's) the file/folder, with this caveat: If the domain joined PC was not on the domain, or unable to contact the domain controller(s) when the file/folder was encrypted, then the domain administrator will not be able to decrypt.
Recovering EFS data: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722672.aspx Microsoft only gives you the option of recovering by using a DRA (data recovery agent) or having a backup of the users or other DRA's private key. This is not easy to locate across a domain, and (nearly)impossible if the machine has been reimaged or wiped.
If running as an administrator no password needed as Elcomsoft can access the SAM database the same as the OS can and recover the files effectively. Depending on your situation, you may need to supply the SAM database, SYSTEM file and possibly a SYSKEY password/bootkey depending on the 3rd party software you purchase. AEFSDR can also search for the files it needs even if the administrator is not a DRA, AEFSDR will prompt you for a password of an account that is a DRA and or user who encrypted the file/folder.
The caveat to these products too is that they be used on Basic NTFS disk's and not Dynamic. If you can't install these products on the computer in question, then you will certainly need the password that was used when the EFS files were last accessed a DRA. AEFSDR can also use a dictionary list if the password can't be remembered or that person is no longer at the company.
In my experience it's very easy to recover most EFS data, almost too easy using these 3rd party tools. There are also cases when you can't recover the data using all the tricks in the book, which can be a good thing, that's sort of the point of protecting the data. But it can also be a bad thing if you don't backup plain-text versions of the data. There is a GPO to turn off EFS on the domain or the local computer, and it may be a good idea for more Admin's to see the paradox and make the choice that best suits them. Users could be trying to do the right thing, but they may also be doing the wrong thing and keeping the administrator from being able to recover the data: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759804%28v=ws.10%29.aspx Note that enabling this option AFTER someone has used EFS will not cause it to be decrypted, check with your users first, or scan for EFS files/folders before implementing.

First-time visitors should start their introduction to Brisbane on a free Brisbane Greeter tour. These volunteer guides are passionate about their city and you can choose from a range of themed tours (such as public art, sport and Aboriginal heritage) or hone in on a particular neighbourhood.
At the city centre is the imposing heritage-listed 1920s Brisbane City Hall. Free tours run to the top of the clock tower; tickets are allocated at the Museum of Brisbane on Level 3 where the collection includes historic ceramics, contemporary art and a fashion archive donated by Easton Pearson, one of Brisbane's most successful design companies until it closed in 2016.
Join the locals at South Bank Parklands, a 16-hectare park with canopied walkways and cycle tracks, lawns for lazing and a programme of regular events from film screenings to weekend markets. The blockbuster attractions though are the man-made swimming lagoon and a beach lined with palm trees, and the Wheel of Brisbane which offers skyline vistas from gently revolving glass pods (more alternative views of the city can be found by walking or cycling the pedestrian-only Goodwill Bridge, tackling the Story Bridge Adventure Climb or abseiling the 30-metre high sandstone Kangaroo Point Cliffs).
From the parklands it's an easy walk to the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art on the South Bank (one institute, split across two adjacent riverside buildings) which showcases work by indigenous artists such as Albert Namatjira, Judith Wright, and Patricia Piccinini. Other attractions nearby include the Queensland Museum, where the displays range from insects to dinosaurs (including the state's very own Muttaburrasaurus) and more. The cultural offerings continue in the suburb of New Farm where you'll find the Brisbane Powerhouse, a former 1920s power station etched with years of graffiti that has been re-purposed as a hip venue for exhibitions, theatre, comedy and live art.
About 5km west of the city, Mount Coot-tha (pronounced Coo-tha) looms out of the flat plain and on a clear day, offers views of the city and Moreton Bay from the teahouse at the top. Venture further out still and the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is one of the few places in Australia where you can cuddle a koala. Home to more than 130 koalas, it's also a great place to hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies and get up close with other native wildlife such as emus, snakes, wombats and rowdy Tasmanian devils.

Americans don't need to agree with elected officials in their districts, they just need someone in government to represent them
Modern electoral politics typically produces two narratives: competition between candidates in individual districts and competition for overall control of government. Which of these matters more for voters? Is it most important to have their preferred candidate win in their own districts, or would voters accept an electoral loss locally if their political preferences were represented in the legislature as a whole? In new research, Jeff Harden and Chris Clark find strong evidence supporting the latter perspective. It is much more important to Americans that their political preferences are represented by a group of legislators, even if that group does not include their own representative.
A common perspective on political representation suggests that legislators should do all they can to make constituents in their districts happy—from learning their policy preferences and introducing relevant legislation to helping people in their districts who have problems with government agencies. In this view of representation, or what we refer to as a dyadic representation relationship, constituents feel represented based upon the political behavior of a single elected official. In new research, we show evidence that dyadic representation is not the only form of representation that is important to Americans; we find that if forced to choose, Americans would forgo dyadic representation from someone with whom they agree for collective representation, which refers to a person's interests being represented by a group of legislators who represent other districts.
The empirical evidence that supports our findings comes from two versions of an experiment embedded in surveys of American adults. The experiments presented respondents with short vignettes of text describing hypothetical state legislative election results. We used two different traits known to be politically important—race and party affiliation—to randomly manipulate whether respondents reading the text would be represented collectively, dyadically, both, or neither if they were constituents in the hypothetical district.
For example, we administered the race version of the experiment to a random sample of 871 African American adults. The vignette signaling collective and dyadic representation read as follows:
ELECTION NOTES
Maurice Allen won the race in district 15 with 53% of the vote, becoming the first black candidate to win in that district. Additionally, the state as a whole elected the largest contingent of black legislators in the last decade. 20% of the seats in the state legislature will be filled by black representatives when the next session begins.
Compare that with the vignette that signaled little collective and no dyadic representation:
Colin Hunter won the race in district 15 with 53% of the vote, which means the district will go at least another four years without ever being represented by a black legislator. Additionally, the state as a whole elected the smallest contingent of black legislators in the last decade. Only 5% of the seats in the state legislature will be filled by black representatives when the next session begins.
The other two vignettes interchanged text from these examples to signal collective representation but no dyadic representation and dyadic representation but little collective representation. The party version of the experiment, which we administered to a random sample of 1,000 American adults, contained similar wording. After they read one vignette at random, respondents rated whether they would feel represented in government based on the election results. Respondents gave their answers on a 0-100 scale, with 0 corresponding to "not represented" and 100 corresponding to "represented."
Figure 1 below shows the results of both experiments. The bars signify the average ratings from respondents who viewed each vignette: (A) collective/dyadic, (B) collective/no dyadic, (C) little collective/dyadic, and (D) little collective/no dyadic. The black brackets indicate the margin of error associated with each average.
Figure 1- Average values of the representation scale in each experiment
The results show that people have a strong preference for collective over dyadic representation. In both versions of the experiment, the collective representation vignettes (A and B) produced higher ratings than the vignettes with little collective representation (C and D). In the race version, ratings of the collective representation vignettes were, on average, 21 points larger than those from the two vignettes with little collective representation. That same number jumps to an average difference of 30 points in the party version of the experiment, corresponding to nearly one third of the scale.
Examining vignettes B and C within each experiment further supports this finding. In those two vignettes, respondents only "received" one type of representation (collective in B, dyadic in C). Thus, comparing responses to those two vignettes is like asking the question "if you could only have one type of representation, which would you choose?" In both versions, vignette B produced an average rating about 11 points larger than vignette C. People clearly prefer a group of legislators who represent their interests over just one like-minded representative in their districts.
At first glance this finding might seem fairly obvious; a group of many legislators representing a voter rather than just one representative seems like it should always be better. However, we maintain that these results are still somewhat surprising for a few reasons. First, by preferring collective representation over dyadic, respondents in our samples showed willingness to give up some political power. With dyadic representation, people have the ability to affect who represents them through their vote choice, and they can punish those who are out of step with their interests. However, people have far less ability to influence the overall makeup of a legislative body (i.e., who wins in several other districts). Additionally, a great deal of research shows that the connections that legislators make with people in their districts are important to constituents (for recent examples of this work, see here and here). Thus, it is surprising that collective representation—a form of representation where people do not personally know each legislator—was that much strongly preferred over dyadic.
There are many important implications of these findings for American politics. First, they are relevant to discussions about the utility of majority-minority districts. On one hand, majority-minority districts are important because they virtually guarantee representation of black interests, at least in some districts. However, our results show that blacks value black legislators even if they do not reside in those legislators' districts. Thus, majority-minority districts are not just important for providing black citizens with a black representative in their district; they are also important for representing any and all blacks in the electorate (for more on this point, see here).
On the other hand, research also shows that packing many racial minorities into a single district may result in blacks failing to receive policy representation because it often means more Republicans are being elected in surrounding districts, increasing that party's strength (see, for example, here and here). Thus, majority-minority districts allow for some black dyadic representation, but may actually depress black collective representation.
Our research also has implications for discussions about district magnitude, or the number of representatives in a district. In the United States, many (though not all) state legislative districts and all districts in the U.S. House of Representatives have a single member. By definition, multimember districts allow for a greater number of people to represent a constituent, which in turn provides a better chance that legislators will possess different traits that appeal to their constituency. We hope that our findings may spur discussions about the usefulness of increasing the number of multimember districts in the United States.
Finally, in showing that collective representation is valued over dyadic, this work also lends some support to the notion that dividing constituencies based on geographic communities may be problematic. As Andrew Rehfeld contends, removing territorial boundaries may produce other benefits to the quality of representation, such as "forcing representatives to justify themselves before a heterogeneous population" (p. xii). Our results do not directly support or refute that assertion, but they do suggest that collective representation is much more vital to Americans than political scientists previously thought.

Seattle, Washington, is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest. Located between Puget Sound and Lake Washington in King County, of which it is the county seat, and overlooking Elliott Bay, Seattle is nicknamed The Emerald City. The city is a damp green gem, with an abundance of evergreen trees throughout, and spectacular views of the Cascade mountains to the east and the Olympic mountains to the west. The cultural and business center of the Pacific Northwest, the city and its surrounding areas are the home of the Space Needle, Boeing's aircraft assembly plants, Microsoft, Amazon.com, Costco, Nintendo of America, Starbucks, T-Mobile, and the University of Washington, as well as a vibrant arts and music scene and an excellent park system.
Seattle was founded on the rough, physical industries of fishing, logging and coal mining, with San Francisco as her primary customer. Boeing, founded in 1916, grew to be Greater Seattle's primary industry as natural resources were depleted. The region's strong economic dependence on Boeing gave the oil recession and cancellation of the SST (Supersonic Transport) in the early '70s a grim effect. Over the last twenty-five years, the area has become less seedy and more developed with the massive influx of Microsoft money (and other software and biotech proceeds), but Pioneer Square is still the original Skid Row. (Yesler Way was a "Skid Road" for logs skidded downhill using dogfish oil to Henry Yesler's lumber mill).
Seattle is also substantially influenced by the presence of the University of Washington (the largest single campus in the state and recipient of over $1 billion in research grants annually), as well as multiple smaller colleges and universities. Seattle is also the center for financial, public health, and justice systems in the northwestern part of the U.S
