Hello again! We are currently sailing at a snails pace between Bonaire and Curaçao. Captain Sean McDuff (awesome name) said that even sailboats could beat us....Bonaire, Curaçao and Aruba are so close so that's how it is. Bonaire was amazing! I did a lot of research and found a fantastic water taxi company, contacted them before hand, and found out where to find them. Once off the ship, it was a short walk to the Caribe Watersports tent where we obtained our water taxi tickets for transport over to Klein and No Name Beach. We were sent over to the pier to wait for the taxi, and there was a nice little beach right there that the kids could play in the water while waiting. It was perfect! The taxi came and we loaded up for a bumpy ride (27 knot winds) over to the most amazing uninhabited island called Klein.
Klein is a highly coveted and guarded area due to its protected reef systems. They will not allow selling of anything on the beach, there are no bathrooms, and there are only two postage size tables with cover.
We got there and after applying a massive amount of sunscreen, we headed up the beach to an entrance point into the reef. There is a well marked natural entry way into the reef. You are not allowed to go in anywhere else. This was the first time we were using our full face snorkels. My daughter (she is 12) and I left my husband and son at the start of the entryway as my son was scared. The snorkeling was AMAZING.....but very very hard. It is supposed to be a very easy 20 feet snorkel back down to where the taxi dropped us off, but with the winds being so high, and the water being choppy....it was a struggle. This also cut down the amount of sea life that we saw. We made it about 3/4 of the way down the snorkel route, and then my daughter started to hyperventilate. Thankfully, my husband was able to see this, and the fact that I couldn't hear what Paige was saying, as you can't hear anything with full face snorkels. He found his own natural break in the reef and rescued us. Apparently, he and Connor didn't make it far either. He also had a panic attack due to the overwhelming depth of the drop off on the side of the reef system that we were swimming on. So, he decided that they would follow our snorkel path along shore just incase anything happened to us. I am glad he did!
After recovering and convincing Paige that she didn't ruin what I hoped would be the best snorkel of our lives, we took a gorgeous walk along the waters edge, and then came back and played as a family. We stayed on Klein for about 3 hours, and then took the water taxi back to town. Caribe was great! They even offered to take family pictures of us!
Once back in town, we continued a great day. There are only 4 stores in port, two generic souvenir stores, and two jewelry stores (no Diamonds International). We decided to walk, and I am sooo glad that we did. We came across an open air market where Paige purchased a super cute necklace made of something indigenous to Bonaire (I can't remember), and some salt products as you just have to buy when you are in Bonaire. At this point we were starving and moved further into town. Most places were full. We finally came across a cute little restaurant called Karel's. It was so yummy and they had the best staff! We will definitely go back!
Shopping at some local shops with some original handmade items was next on the list. I picked up a couple of flamingo items made of local drift wood, which I adore. Then the time was coming to head back to the ship, but there was still enough time to take one more dip at that beach we used in the morning while waiting for the taxi! Did I mention that the beach is right at the port and free? Paige had watched a bunch of locals jump off the pier into the water by the ship and begged to do that, so she got one last Bonaire hurrah!
Back on the ship, we quickly changed clothes and headed up to Family Bingo. We were told that this activity is usually really busy, but we were the only four there! The kids ended up leaving with two Inky stuffed animals, a beach towel, a backpack, and a hat.
Dinner was Italian night tonight. We were our waiters only customers tonight, so we got amazing service with way way way too much food brought out. He was so attentive to the kids, and taught them magic tricks with promises of more tomorrow night. Paige then headed off to kids club while my husband, son and I head off to the illusionist show. Now....a drink and a movie on the pool deck!


Today, Google published a Transparency Report detailing the levels of malware and phishing sites the company detects on the web.
Malware sites contain code to install malicious software onto users' computers. Hackers can use this software to capture and transmit users' private or sensitive information.
Google started the Safe Browsing program in 2006, which catalogs suspected malicious websites and warns people while browsing the web if they happen to come across a flagged site. Google is actively flagging up to 10,000 sites per day, and reports that through sharing this data with other browsers, they are able to help keep 1 billion users safe.
In an attempt to continue protecting internet citizens, Google has expanded their Transparency Report to include malware and phishing data. They hope that this new Safe Browsing section of the report will shed more light on the sources of the attacks.
The report includes the frequency at which users are being warned about malware while browsing, but also contains data about how quickly websites are reinfected after a website owner or operator removes malware and where these malicious sites are hosted around the world.
Safe browsing has done a lot to improve the safety of the uninformed or casual web user. And, while it has been known to throw some false positives when scanning legitimate websites, shielding 1 billion users from potentially dangerous sites far outweighs that inconvenience.

The Bianconeri are in the process of finalising an agreement with Genoa which will see them acquire the highly-rated Argentine defender from their Serie A rivals.
Juventus are closing in on a deal which will see them acquire Cristian Romero from Genoa as part of a €30 m package.
The 20-year-old defender has emerged as a top target for the Bianconeri in recent times.
An aging backline is in need of reinforcement and those in Turin are starting to piece together plans for the future.
They have already seen Medhi Benatia depart, with the Morocco international having completed a January switch to Qatari side Al-Duhail.
Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci still have plenty of football left in them, but they cannot go on forever.
With that in mind, Juve are looking to ensure that they have suitable successors in place, with Romero fitting the mould as he prepares to finalise a switch to the Allianz Stadium.
Genoa had been hoping to generate around €35m from any sale, but a deal which includes a number of bonuses could see a compromise reached.
Once an agreement is pushed through, Juve will then take a decision on what do with Romero in the immediate future.
He will officially join their books during the summer transfer window, but may not figure for them in 2019-20.
One option being considered is to allow the youngster to spend next season back on loan at Genoa.
The highly-rated Argentine will then be given a chance to see regular game time while furthering his development.
That may be the best option as Juve are also exploring the possibility to luring Matthijs de Ligt away from Ajax.
If Juve were to win the race for the Netherlands international, he would slot straight into the first-team fold at the club, meaning regular opportunities for Romero would be limited.
De Ligt is only 19 years of age, but is considered to be a ready-made option for anyone prepared to pay the going rate for a player of his obvious potential.
Romero, meanwhile, only linked up with Genoa in the summer of 2018 after departing Belgrano in his homeland, but is considered one of the top young defenders in Serie A.
Fourteen appearances have been taken in during his time in Italy, with one goal recorded, and his rapid rise to prominence is what has brought him to the attention of league champions Juve.

Its aim is to produce web based, serve yourself, user friendly guidance for Developers, Regulators, Sector Stakeholders and those involved in the Construction Industry to minimise impacts on Local Air Quality arising from everyday aspects of construction activity.
What we are doing FIRSTLY is holding a Seminar on Monday February 8th, 2010 at the Concorde Suite at Manchester International Airport to gather together stakeholders from across the Greater Manchester Area to consult as widely as possible with them and obtain their views relating to delivering and regulating building projects, as to what can additionally can be achieved in the current economic climate to minimise the impacts on Local Air Quality during the long periods when construction activity is present within neighbourhoods.
We shall also be consulting with Communities, the Health Sector, Business, Lenders, Development Agencies, Academics Consultants, Architects and Regional Offices of Central Government where Particulate Matter (dust and grit) and diesel engined exhaust gases are an additional impact upon Local Air Quality which in Urban Areas, District Centres and City/Town centres already receive significant impacts from traffic, industrial processes and the combined effects of emissions from space and water heating from industrial, commercial and residential premises.
Manchester International Airport has an enviable and professional reputation for placing environmental issues at the top of its business agenda and the Partnership is indebted to the Manchester Airport Group for its assistance with this project.
Improving Air Quality in these categories of area across Greater Manchester is the main reason for each constituent Local Authority across the Greater Manchester Local area already having declared Air Quality Management Areas for which Action Plans exist.
What we are doing SECONDLY using a professional facilitator, is "capturing" all the outcomes from the Consultation at the February 8th 2010 Event/Seminar collating them and moving forward to publish them in the form of web based, serve yourself user friendly Guidance which will be an information resource in the next five to ten year period.
We are driving this project forward because Air Quality, although vastly improved from that that existed in the 1950's and 1960's, is a key Environmental factor for all individuals and communities across Greater Manchester and where future generations deserve to inherit the highest standards of Air Quality that the Greater Manchester Region can deliver.
Although the Construction Industry is in a period of relative inactivity currently, now appears to be the time to prepare for when the United Kingdom comes out of recession where answers provided in the next twelve months can guide stakeholders managing environmental priorities and responsibilities in the next five to ten year period.
The Guidance when developed will be practical and will be targeted at construction activity ranging from the construction of two or three houses through to large scale engineering construction producing public and commercial developments, new roads and all other infrastructure projects. The Guidance will be developed for the benefit of individuals, Small and Medium Enterprises and larger Plc's.
Key priorities for Contractors and Property developers will be what practical measures will be expected from them, what minimum standards do they have to comply with now, what additional viable improved standards relating to Air Quality can they deliver, what will they be required to deliver relating to Air Quality when developing within existing Air Quality Management Areas and how will the Guidance stand as an alternative to standards which can be required now under Planning Section 106 agreements.
Key priorities for the Health Sector, Regulators, Academics, Architects and Consultants will be what contribution can regional Guidance relating to Air Quality in and around Construction Sites, make directly and indirectly to the clinical regional incidence of Respiratory Disease, Local and Regional Health Statistics and Costs and what will be deliverable in a Region coming out of recession.

Infinitezimalni račun je grana matematike, koja se bavi funkcijama, derivacijama, integralima, limesima funkcije i graničnim vrijednostima. Proučava razumijevanje i opisivanje promjena mjerljivih varijabli. Središnji koncept kojim se opisuje promjena varijable je funkcija. Dvije glavne grane su diferencijalni račun i integralni račun. Infinitezimalni račun je osnova matematičke analize .

Koristi se u znanosti, ekonomiji, inženjerstvu itd. Služi za rješavanje mnogih matematičkih problema, koji se ne mogu riješiti algebrom ili geometrijom.
Infinitezimalni račun se na latinskom jeziku kaže "calculus infinitesimalis" i iz toga je proizašao naziv "kalkulus", koji se koristi u dijelu svijeta. Riječ "infinitesimalis" znači "beskrajno mala količina".

Povijest

U antičkom razdoblju bilo je ideja sličnih infinitezimalnom računu. Egipćani su računali volumen piramide bez vrha. Grci Eudoks i Arhimed koristili su metodu ekshaustacije, koja je metoda izračunavanja površine nekog oblika tako što se u njega ubacuje niz poligona, čije površine konvergiraju prema površini cijelog oblika. Tu metodu koristio je i Kinez Liu Hui u 3. stoljeću, da bi izračunao površinu kruga. U 5. stoljeću Ču Čungdži koristio je metodu, koja će se kasnije nazvati Cavalierov princip za volumen sfere.

Godine 499. indijski je matematičar Aryabhata I. računao infinitezimalanim računom i zapisao astronomski problem u obliku diferencijalne jednadžbe. Na temelju te jednadžbe, u 12. stoljeću Bhaskara je razvio neku vrstu derivacije. Oko 1000. godine Ibn al-Haitam osmislio je formulu za sve vrste četvrtih potencija i time priredio put za integralni račun. U 12. stoljeću perzijski matematičar Šaraf al-Din al-Tusi otkrio je pravilo za odvajanje kubičnoga polinoma. U 17. stoljeću japanski matematičar Takakazu Shinsuke Seki došao je do osnovnih spoznaja infinitezimalnoga računa.

Infinitezimalni račun otkrili su neovisno jedan o drugome u otprilike isto vrijeme Isaac Newton i Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Otkrili su zakone diferencijalnog i integralnog računa, derivacije i približne polinomske serije. Njihov rad nastavili su matematičari Augustin Louis Cauchy, Bernhard Riemann, Karl Weierstrass, Henri Léon Lebesgue i dr.

Glavna poglavlja

Derivacija
Derivacija funkcije  je granična vrijednost kvocijenta prirasta funkcije i prirasta argumenta kada prirast argumenta teži nuli.

Najčešće se označava s  ili pak samo s .

Integral
Za danu funkciju f(x) realne varijable x i interval [a,b] na pravcu realnih brojeva, integral

predstavlja površinu područja u xy-ravnini ograničenu grafom od f, x-osi, i vertikalnim crtama x=a i x=b.

Limes funkcije
Poglavlje limesa funkcije razvilo se iz problema, kako izračunati vrijednost funkcije u slučajevima, kada funkcija nije dobro definirana npr.: dijeljenje s nulom. Limes funkcije f u točki a je broj, kojemu se pridružuje funkcijska vrijednost f(x), kada se vrijednost x približuje a.

Karol Parno Gierliński (ur. 12 marca 1938 w Poznaniu, zm. 4 lutego 2015 w Nowym Mieście nad Pilicą) – romsko-polski rzeźbiarz, poeta i prozaik; działacz społeczny. Twórca pierwszego w Polsce elementarza dla dzieci romskich "Miri szkoła – Romano elementaro".

Życiorys
Pochodził z rodziny Sinti zamieszkałej w Wielkopolsce od kilku pokoleń. Ojciec – Ludwik, który był oficerem Wojska Polskiego, oraz matka – Wacława padli ofiarą Porajmos (eksterminacji Cyganów przez III Rzeszę), a on sam został uratowany z transportu do obozu zagłady przez Alfredę Markowską (Noncię). Wychowywała go i zadbała o edukację babcia, która po wyzwoleniu z obozu koncentracyjnego pod Hamburgiem powróciła z nim do Polski.

W 1957 ukończył Technikum Chemiczne w Poznaniu. W latach 1957-1963 studiował w Państwowej Wyższej Szkole Sztuk Plastycznych w Poznaniu.

W młodości zarabiał na życie jako wędrowny kotlarz. Pracował również w zawodach konserwatora dzieł sztuki, instruktora zajęć plastycznych i nauczyciela. Był kierownikiem literackim zespołów działających pod auspicjami Poznańskiej Estrady, w tym Cygańskiego Zespołu Pieśni i Tańca "Roma".

W 2001 został wyróżniony odznaką Zasłużony Działacz Kultury. W 2011 w uznaniu działań na rzecz zachowania i rozwoju języków romskich oraz propagowania edukacji wśród Romów został odznaczony Złotym Krzyżem Zasługi.

Twórczość
Rzeźbę uprawiał zawodowo od 1963 aż do śmierci. Największy wpływ na jego twórczość wywarł prof. Jan Maria Jakub. Początkowo pracował w metalu, później najczęściej w drewnie. Jego prace były wielokrotnie wystawiane w kraju i za granicą, znajdują się w licznych muzeach (m.in. w Pile, Gorzowie Wielkopolskim i Weilburgu) oraz zbiorach prywatnych. Około roku 2011 zainteresował się malarstwem i stworzył serię obrazów olejnych o tematyce romskiej.

W latach 60. XX w. był członkiem Korespondencyjnego Klubu Młodych Pisarzy ZMW oraz grupy literackiej "Wiry". Był członkiem Związku Literatów Polskich. Jako poeta zadebiutował w 1968 wierszem "Deszcz" zamieszczonym w tygodniku Nowa Wieś. Jego utwory poetyckie były publikowane w prasie literackiej i w almanachach. W 2001 ukazał się nakładem Wydawnictwa NICE zbiór jego poezji pt. "Xaratuno thuv / Odległy dym", który wzbudził znaczne zainteresowanie i został przetłumaczony na język niemiecki przez Karin Wolff. W roku 2007 został wydany obszerny zbór opowiadań pt. "Meteory / Siłałe cierhenia", zaś w roku 2012 wybór dawnych i nowych wierszy zatytułowany "Róża pustyni".

Praktycznie cała jego twórczość literacka powstała w języku polskim. Jest mocno nasycona problematyką cygańską; wielokrotnie powraca wątek wymuszonej rezygnacji z wędrownego trybu życia; prezentowane jest specyficzne, cygańskie poczucie humoru. Równocześnie w jego wierszach oraz opowiadaniach można znaleźć liczne odniesienia do zagadnień uniwersalnych, zadumę nad światem i istotą człowieczeństwa.

Autor koncepcji oraz tekstu pionierskiego podręcznika dla dzieci romskich w wieku wczesnoszkolnym pt. "Miri szkoła – Romano elementaro". W 2007 ukazało się pilotażowe wydanie podręcznika w dialekcie Polska Roma, poszerzone i poprawione rok później w kolejnej edycji. Podręcznik ten został przełożony na dialekt Bergitka Roma, a jego wersja elektroniczna, uzupełniona o sprawdziany ze znajomości słownictwa romskiego i arytmetyki, znalazła się w multimedialnym podręczniku dla dzieci romskich wydanym w 2009 w Kostrzynie nad Odrą.

Zajmował się tłumaczeniem tekstów na dialekty romskie.

Jako aktor wystąpił w 2009 w serialu telewizyjnym Na dobre i na złe (w odcinku "Kabała"), grając rolę Hauptmano. W filmie fabularnym Papusza w 2013 zagrał rolę Śero Roma.

Uważany za znawcę języka, kultury oraz obyczajowości romskiej, był konsultantem kilku prac magisterskich i doktorskich z dziedziny cyganologii.

Darius Rucker took the stage to rousing applause from a crazed female crowd. He had the fans on their feet from the beginning of his set in anticipation of his bluesy country sound. This reporter is a little (okay a decade) behind, expecting him to sing Hootie songs.
He finished his set with his massive hit, "Wagon Wheel." Fans got on their feet and really enjoyed his show, sang at the top of their lungs, which continued until the end of Lady Antebellum.
Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley, and David Haywood of Lady Antebellum crushed the crowd at White River in Auburn. The 8 members of the band who are traveling the country with Rucker entered the stage with all of the presence of a stadium show. The lights went dark and Hillary, Charles, and David were backlit with piercing spot lights.
The lights came up and the full band was revealed. The band spanned the entire stage with the main 3 traversing back and forth. The mostly female crowd loved it. What makes me say female crowd?
I pulled in the parking lot in my little Ford Focus where I was flanked by two huge, 4×4 trucks. My first thought was how cliché at a country show. To my surprise, 4 attractive women with lace tops, short skirts, and boots climbed out. Yep, cliché destroyed. This same story played out all over the amphitheatre.
LA sang "American Honey" to a couple celebrating their 8th anniversary. A woman next to me said that she had the same song at her wedding. I looked around, this same theme encompassed the crowd.
The fans became part of the performance with lighted bracelets. Everyone had bracelets on that changed color in unison depending on the song selection. I had never seen that before and it was super fun.
The dancing never stopped the entire show.

PT Bank Tabungan Pensiunan Nasional Tbk - BTPN or referred to as "Bank BTPN" is a reputable privately-owned bank in Indonesia that focuses on serving and empowering low-income communities ; pensioners, micro, small and medium enterprises, and mass market. The Bank's main business focus rests on six business pillars: pension business (BTPN Purna Bakti), micro entrepreneurs (BTPN Mitra Usaha), small and medium business segment (BTPN Mitra Bisnis), funding business (BTPN Sinaya), lower-income segment (BTPN Wow!), and urban tech-savvy customers (Jenius). Bank BTPN was first established in 1958 as Bank Pegawai Pensiunan Militer (BAPEMIL) with main business to served retired military personnel. In 1986, BAPEMIL was officially organised under the name of Bank Tabungan Pensiunan Nasional. Later in 2008, the Bank has been listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange with stock code of "BTPN".

08/17/21 - TE Will Mallory, rSr/2023, Miami
The always charismatic, always outspoken, mostly upbeat Brevin Jordan was the Hurricanes tight end you couldn't help noticing, whether on the field making NFL-type moves, on the sideline injured or in a Zoom teleconference prompting hearty laughs. Now, i t's Will Mallory's stage, and Jordan's 6-5, 245-pound talented close friend and former roommate, who missed the spring recovering from shoulder surgery, is back at full strength and determined to make a grand entrance.
"It's definitely different," Mallory, a 22-year-old fourth-year junior, told reporters last weekend at fall camp, when asked about the void left by Jordan, drafted in the fifth round by the Houston Texans. "Been living with Brevin - I've been with him since I got here. But being the main guy is exactly why I wanted to come here. "It's my shot, my turn, I'm ready for it. I've got a great group of guys behind me, too, that can contribute. I'm excited for the opportunity to step up for this team." Last season, while Jordan was catchin g 38 passes for 576 yards and seven touchdowns and dragging defenders along with him in eight games, Mallory was catching 22 passes for 329 yards and four touchdowns in 11 games. - Miami Herald

James Corden is hosting the Tony Awards for the second year!
"Extra" caught up with the funnyman, who joked he is "full of abject fear."
James won the Emmy for last year's broadcast, and he's afraid he can't top that.
He said, "We probably can't, that's why this entire thing is probably a mistake. We should have really gone out on that." As for Sunday, he told us, "I hope it will be fun… We have a big opening planned… It might be too ambitious, we'll see."
Corden wants to opening to honor the actors and "do justice to the incredible people that are in that room."
He's also not afraid to give his take on President Trump and First Lady Melania's trip to London.
"I'm British and I live in America and I feel very privileged to do so… It's very strange watching Donald Trump meet the Queen. I wonder what he says… is someone like, 'This is Queen Elizabeth II,' and he is like, 'This is Melania III'?… I imagine him meeting the Queen being like, 'When do we meet the Burger King?'"
He is taking his "Late Late Show" to London as well! "We have incredible guests coming down there. Tom Hanks is going to be there, Millie Bobby Brown, Lily James, the cast of 'The X-Men'… there is a huge list of people," he said. "Jake Gyllenhaal just got added. There is a great list of people coming down to have some fun."
The Tony Awards air Sunday on CBS.

Looking for Bali travel insurance?
We'll help you find the right level of travel insurance tailored for your trip to Bali.
Whether you choose to hit the outdoors for an active getaway or indulge in a luxurious resort, you're never far away from one of the island's many impressive temples. Mountain temples like Pura Besakih scatter the landscape and the towering volcanos of Batur and Agung make for a spectacular backdrop and a trekkers' paradise.
Travelling solo? Explore the rice fields, monkey forests and markets of laidback Ubud. Families will enjoy a quiet holiday by the beach in Sanur, while honeymooners can opt to wake up in a luxury resort in Seminyak. Getting a group of friends together for a trip? Surf, snorkel and dive off Nusa Dua, and party all night with friends in Kuta.
As you can see, Bali has something for everyone – so make sure your travel insurance is a perfect match for your trip. Okay, time to pack your sarong and print out that policy to protect you from the unexpected!
Bali has some of the best food in the world – who can resist a tasty nasi goreng washed down with a crisp, cold Bintang? Still, to keep Bali belly at bay, make sure you drink bottled water, and stay away from uncooked food and ice cubes. If you do get diarrhoea or experience a high fever, see a doctor as soon as possible.
Getting around on a motorbike is a popular way to see Bali. If you do jump on a motorbike, wear a helmet and protective clothing. Remember, Bali doesn't have a reciprocal medical agreement with Australia so, if you get injured, you have to pay your own bills. Check what cover your travel insurance policy offers for motorcycling and if there are any restrictions to the cover.
Bali's peak season is during July and August, and when the Aussie school holidays hit. At this time, flights are more expensive and tourist areas are much more crowded. During the popular dry season, you might experience a smoke haze around July to October depending on prevailing winds from the north. The wet season runs from October to April and is a quieter time to visit.
Be a savvy traveller and do your research, so if the unexpected happens, at least you're covered for it. The government's Smart Traveller website lists current travel warnings for Bali. Please do note that most travel insurance policies won't cover you for an existing warning.
A few months before your departure, visit your doctor and get the necessary vaccinations for travel to Bali. There's a bunch of them, including Hepatitis A and B, typhoid and Japanese encephalitis. Being bitten by the travel bug is one thing, but being bitten by a Balinese monkey (there's a lot of them around) is another thing altogether. Protect yourself by getting a rabies vaccination.
Mozzies in Indonesia carry malaria and dengue fever so make sure you pack a decent insect repellent. It's a good idea to cover up with loose clothing, especially at dusk and dawn, and if you're walking through rainforest. Before you go, ask your doctor if you need antimalarial medication. Seek medical advice if you start to feel fluey on your trip.
Like most tourist hotspots, there are a few scams on the go in Bali. Be on the look out for pickpockets and keep an eye on your bags when using public transport. It's common for bankcards to get 'swallowed' by ATMs, so stick to using cash where you can. Check your bank balance every day, just in case.
We'll help you find the right level of travel insurance tailored for your personal trip to Bali. Taking out travel insurance means your luggage is covered, medical bills are managed and cancellation costs as outlined in your policy are covered. If you are unsure about what's covered give us a call on 13 24 80.
Get your travel insurance sorted before you go, so you can really relax and enjoy yourself. This way the only souvenirs you'll bring home is a good tan and a ton of great stories, rather than a medical bill that blitzes your bank account!

DOG ASIDE:
Every year on Thanksgiving Day from 1915 to 2011 (96 years)….one of the greatest football rivalries in college football took place on the gridirons of Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin or Kyle Field in Bryan-College Station,TX….as Texans who bled burnt orange or maroon and white all over the State of Texas would fill-up with "turkey and dressing and all the fixins" only to unbutton their pants and settle-in with the family around the television for this annual war between the two premier universities in the great State of Texas.
The Texas–Texas A&M football rivalry was an American college football rivalry between the Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies. The rivalry was played every year between 1915 and 2011, until A&M left the Big 12 Conference to join the Southeastern Conference. Texas leads the series 76–37–5.
The first meeting was in 1894. By 1911, Texas led the series 15–4–2. The series went back and forth until 1939, but Texas still led 27–15–4. After that, Texas went 36–7–1. A&M then won 10 of the next 11 games in the series. Texas then won 12 of the last 17 games in the rivalry.
In July 2011, A&M elected to join the Southeastern Conference beginning in 2012. The move to switch conferences resulted in the ending of the rivalry. On November 24, 2011, Texas faced A&M in College Station in the final scheduled meeting of the rivalry. Texas won 27–25 on a field goal as time expired. In January 2013, a Texas state legislator filed a bill that would require them to play each other every year.[1] The bill was referred to the House Committee on Higher Education on February 18, 2013
Each school mentions the other in its fight song ("and it's goodbye to A&M" in Texas Fight; the entire second verse of the Aggie War Hymn is about Texas). The football series was the third longest in college football. The last regular season football game was usually reserved for the match-up. Each school has elaborate pregame preparations for the annual football clash, including the Aggie Bonfire and Hex Rally. Texas has a unique lighting scheme for the UT Tower after beating Texas A&M.
In October 2006, General Mills announced they would honor the then third-longest running college football rivalry with a special edition Wheaties box. The box featured the helmets of Texas and Texas A&M and their respective home stadiums, Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium and Kyle Field, on either side. Although several individual college basketball and football teams had been featured previously on special edition boxes, this was the first time Wheaties had honored a rivalry series.
The game's tradition figures into the plot of the 1978 stage musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and its film adaptation; in the show, each year the game's winners (in the story, the Aggies) would celebrate at the "Chicken Ranch," until an overzealous news reporter (a character based on Marvin Zindler) endeavors to close the legendary brothel.

11 countries. 41 groups. 317 dancers.
The WHD Dance 2011 video is so full of life, enthusiasm, groovy moves and cool costumes that I am entirely overwhelmed. It was thrilling to see so many hoop dancers – some who I know in person, some who I worship from afar, and plenty of new faces – enjoying themselves with a project I coordinated. Thank you for dedicating time to learn the dance, for performing on World Hoop Day and for sending in your video.
Editing the video was an interesting challenge. The song is only 34 measures, and I received 41 videos. I decided to create an "extended mix" to accomodate each group for a full eight counts on the screen. Even so, I had to make some difficult choices about what section of each dance to use. In too many cases, I had to miss a wonderful moment, a sweet move, or I couldn't fit an entire group on the screen at once. If you danced but can't find yourself in the compilation video, accept my sincere apologies. Compromises are never ideal.
I learned a lot during this year's project, especially relating to teaching dance and to music selection and choreographing for easy editing. I hope to put my new knowledge into practice for our WHD Dance 2012. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. See you for a new dance next year!

Russia's Foreign Ministry surprised by new U.S. sanctions
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova: "The U.S. administration's decision to introduce restrictions raises eyebrows and arouses disappointment."
Sergey Pyatakov/RIA Novosti
U.S. blacklists 8 Russian companies for breaking American non-proliferation law.
Russia's Foreign Ministry expresses disappointment over the U.S. authorities' decision to introduce sanctions against 8 more Russian companies, the ministry's official spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote on her Facebook page.
"The U.S. administration's decision to introduce restrictions against a number of Russian organizations, including those linked to aircraft construction and training aviation specialists, raises eyebrows and arouses disappointment," she said.
On March 26, U.S. Administration imposed sanctions on eight more Russian companies accusing them of violating U.S. non-proliferation law concerning Iran, North Korea, and Syria.
"This new portion of sanctions does not pose any serious problems for us, of course, however, the Americans did not even name the reasons but just referred to their legislation prohibiting themselves to cooperate with Iran and Syria," the diplomat said.
Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman notes that this step "is not in line with Washington's statements on a priority of fight against terrorism, including its nest on the Syrian territory."
Among the sanctioned companies are Russia's main weapons exporter Rosobornexport, the 150th aircraft repair plant, the Aviaexport foreign economic trade company, the Bazalt Scientific and Research Corporation, the Scientific and Production Corporation 'Engineering Design Bureau (weapons manufacturing companies), the Ulyanovsk Higher Civil Aviation School, the Urals Civil Aviation Training Center, and the Zhukovsky - Gagarin Air Force Academy.
The current sanctions, due to remain in force for the coming two years, ban U.S. departments and agencies from buying any goods or services from blacklisted companies and from selling arms and military hardware to them. Also, the sanctioned companies can neither obtain licenses for buying goods listed in the export control.

It's rumoured that Harry Styles is planning on getting a huge new tattoo, large enough to cover his whole back. It is said that he wants to cover his back as he feels that he has too many tattoo's on the front side of his body.
The One Direction singer already has a large collection of tattoos scattered all over his arms and chest. He is right about his tattoos mostly facing to the front or semi front or sideways. So now, he's planning to get one humungous tattoo that will cover his entire back.
The pop singer got his first ink in 2012 by Freddy Negrete, a Los Angeles based tattoo artist who made the tattoo designs in the movies "Blade" and "Bound By Honor". Style's first tattoo was a five point star, representing each band member of One Direction. Since then Harry's body collection has grown, with designs including a large butter fly tattoo on his chest and the famed ship which he got with former girlfriend Taylor Swift.
A huge tattoo is a serious project to tackle with, "The whole thing could take months" the Shamrock Social Tattoo Parlour artist says. He also mentioned that Harry prefers a Hebrew themed design. Style's have a Hebrew text of his sister Gemma on his left arm. "Harry will probably have more Hebrew lettering. He already has his sister's name in Hebrew on his arm and he loves it … He talks right through [being tattooed] and is always joking." He added.
While Harry may be a tattoo lover, his mother Anne Cox is against the inkings.


From time to time the question is raised as to why the use of The Accessible Exit Sign Project designs and Icon is restricted and protected under copyright, trademark and registered designs. The reason for this is essentially to maintain consistency.
As discussed earlier the design of the Japanese style 'Running Man' design has been extensively remodelled, modified and altered in numerous way around the world in designs that differ from that presented by Yukio Ota in 1979. By controlling the use of the image it is believed that one can control consistency, which is a critical part to successfully implementing any new initiative.
This approach also protects the licensees, or sign manufacturers, who have shown a commitment to helping to provide a safer built environment. These licensees have been required to make new molds, produce new designs, change marketing, websites and promotional information at their own cost.

Raise the roof and waterproof it
Roofing and waterproofing go hand in hand. There are several innovations happening in these segments
by Team CW
There are several details to consider when designing a home, and in recent years the construction industry has seen incredible innovations in both technology and design. Homeowners have more design options to choose from than ever before. While most people tend to focus on interior spaces like kitchens and bathrooms, residential roofing has come a long way, offering a wide variety of exciting materials. What is more, the home buyer/owner has to also look at waterproofing so as to enjoy a peaceful stay under that roof.
Roofs can be constructed from a wide variety of materials and in a wide variety of shapes depending on the requirements they have to satisfy, the local climate, the availability of materials and skills, the span to be covered, and so on. Your roof is a large part of the exterior appearance of your home, so it's worth paying attention to its looks. Different types of roofing, different materials, and different colours can drastically affect the overall style of your house. Besides appearances, roofing also plays a significant role in the value of your home, its efficiency, and its durability.
A new report depicts the current status of roofing industry with a special focus on asbestos, tile and metal roofing segments. Currently, the roofing sector is preparing for the next generation products, with infrastructure and industrial boom being the major demand drivers. Airports, metro rails, Special Economic Zones, industrial cities and IT parks have initiated the need for enhanced construction technology. Urban consumers are gradually shifting from conventional roofing system to high quality, more technically advanced roofing systems based on their purchasing capacity. Affordable housing programmes also aids in demand generation for the roofing industry.
The emerging concept of PEB provides huge opportunity for the metal roofing players to capitalise on. Manufacturing industries such as power, automobile, engineering goods and services including logistics, warehouses and infrastructure are large users of PEB. Presently India's per capita steel consumption is around 45-50kg which is way lower than the world average of 175kg signifying the expansion opportunity for the steel roofing industry owing to the increasing construction activities across the country. However, lack of skilled labour force required for roofing installation and maintenance adversely impacts the roofing market. Further, the presence of unorganised players offering roofing products at low prices poses major threat to the organised players in the industry.
Riten Choudhury.
Construction and building materials company Everest Industries has started offering turnkey solutions for pre-fabricated buildings. The company is also offering grid connected solar roofing systems that enable a commercial establishment to cut down their costs on energy. It prefers to set up the generation capacity and offer power or enable customers to set up the facility by arranging the necessary finance.
Similarly, Riten Choudhury, MD, Tata BlueScope Steel, says, "We are proud of our sophisticated equipment at our Jamshedpur plant. The imported machinery is highly advanced and that ensures quality across coating and paint thickness. At our other plants too, we have imported the machinery from global leaders such as Bradbury and Hayes. These machines perform accurate roll-forming and punching operations."
In terms of coil parameters, Tata Bluescope Steel has a well-equipped laboratory of international standards with a technical team trained at BlueScope Steel Australia, which monitors the quality. The company procures high tensile steel with a strength of 650-700mpi from Tata Steel. This is further processed through top-end equipment supplied by internationally renowned manufacturers like Siemens VAI, Fives, Hatch, SAS, and Ajax. This ensures complete flatness, uniform metal, colour coating and baking. "We also have global tie-ups with world class paint suppliers like AkzoNobel and PPG for products which have been developed by them in collaboration with BlueScope Steel. This enables us to supply customers with painted products having high gloss finish with superior durability. Our own factories at Hinjewadi and Jamshedpur are constructed using 100% of our steel and are landmarks. The life of steel also depends on the metal coating thickness. Unfortunately in India several manufacturers misguide customers by selling lower quality steel of 50-70gsm and offering it as 120gsm. We have also seen the retail markets being flooded with imported material of very poor quality. We hope that with the consolidation happening in the steel industry, one will see better quality products being offered to customers," adds Choudhury.
Solar panels have existed in various forms for quite some time now. However, the green movement brought outstanding attention to panels as a roofing option. They were often seen as bulky and unattractive until manufacturers created sleek and elegant looking versions that sky-rocketed interest. Tesla, a leading company in the electric and solar development, launched solar tiles that look like conventional roofing tile. They save energy and cut utility bills.
The building envelope refers to the external walls, windows, roof and floor. A building's envelope, especially roofs and walls, contribute to as much as 28% and 45% of the energy loss in buildings. Good thermal insulation for the envelope is crucial to prevent heat from seeping in through the exterior of the building. Most buildings unfortunately don't offer adequate thermal insulation for the building envelope thereby unnecessarily enhancing its energy usage, carbon footprint and lifecycle costs.
Ashok Mohanani, chairman, EKTA World, and VP, NAREDCO Maharashtra, says, "Growing application of bitumen as roll roofing component in residential and commercial building structures on account of its unique properties including high viscosity and stickiness is expected to have a positive impact on the market. In terms of product type, bituminous roofing has emerged as the most preferred roofing material due to its waterproofing ability and pocket-friendly pricing in countries like India, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Indonesia. The segment accounted for over 45% of the global roofing market in recent times. These roofing materials find wide-ranging usage in schools, offices, retail stores, and hospitals."
Ashok Mohanani.
The rising recognition of thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) on account of being heat reflective and an energy efficient roofing system is likely to have an optimistic force on the market growth over the next few years. In terms of the trends in the waterproofing industry at present organised players are bringing in huge investments to set up training facilities for marketing personnel and applicators. Several players in the industry are tying up with foreign players to bring in advanced technologies thus enhancing quality and improvement in the lifespan of structures, adds Mohanani.
One of the major problems faced by the builders during the foundation layout is water. Apart from burning down, perhaps the worst thing that can happen to a residential structure or a building is a basement problem. Wet soil below the foundation can swell or lose strength. The waterproofing industry is so different that sometimes it gets difficult to identify general technological trends. Waterproofing solutions are mainly used in commercial and institutional tenders, to prevent any kind of leakage in the building structure.
Shabbir Kanchwala.
Shabbir Kanchwala, senior VP, K Raheja Corp, says, "Leakage in structure, especially roofs and walls, have been a cause of concern due to water leakage from different parts of the building. The most popular form of waterproofing are PVC roofing systems and TPO roofing. PVC roofing systems have witnessed tremendous growth in recent years, due to a variety of standout features, notably the longevity, resilience in harsh weather and temperature extremes, low lifecycle costs, energy efficiency, heat and solar reflectance, flame resistance, chemical and grease resistance, ease of maintenance, ease and flexibility of installation, and inherent recyclability/re-use, among many other benefits. TPO roofing casings are also used, as they are highly resistant to tears, impacts and punctures, with good elasticity to allow for building movement. The usage of waterproofing solutions offer several benefits, such as superior fire and wind resistance, very high tensile strength, and waterproofing features."
Dr Fixit, the construction and the waterproofing expert, has announced the launch of building envelope solutions for roof and walls for better thermal insulation of the building. With this launch the brand aims to strengthen its low energy consumption system and spearhead the propagation of modern system solutions against conventional approach. Dr Sanjay Bahadur, Global CEO, construction chemical division, Pidilite Industries, says, "With energy being in short supply across large parts of India, it is essential to create comprehensive solutions that are energy efficient and best suited for creating sustainable structures. With this launch Dr Fixit aim to provide customers with energy efficient products and remain certain that it will offer unmatched performance and sustainable structures."
Dr Sanjay Bahadur.
Waterproofing rehabilitation initiatives help increase the shelf life of concrete which initially have good returns on investment. Swadesh Anand, director, EPC, Paradigm Realty, says, "Several factors lead to the selection of waterproofing be it foundation construction, environmental conditions, geotechnical factors to be under potential for hydrostatic pressure. Various other additional trends in waterproofing are 'geotechnical selection factors, hybrid waterproofing materials'. Hydrophilic water stops are the newest trend which relies on the concrete construction joints which are a back-up to the waterproofing membrane installed on the exterior surface."
Developers have become very diligent and are trying new ways to ensure that there is no seepage or leaks in the building. Using synthetic sand instead of river sand helps in providing a waterproof construction along with aluminum formwork construction to eliminate joint seepage.

This attractive large bamboo designed cast iron trivet let you serve a pot of hot tea without worrying about damaging your table. It is traditionally designed for holding hot cast iron teapot (tetsubin) and has 3 legs underneath for stability. Cast ironware is praised worldwide for their beauty, strength, and superb quality. Diameter: 6 3/4".
I am not using this product in its traditional form of usage. Instead, it is embedded in the frame of the doorway into my studio. It makes a wonderful transition between my Asian family room and my eclectic studio.
The black bamboo cast iron trivet goes so very well with my aunt's Japanise iron tea pot. The small decorative piece in the living rooms adds serenity.


A con man poses as a scientist in order to get hold of a secret formula for hardened steel. He has to contend with the police and other criminals who also want the formula.
It's Gizmo Maguffin time. In this case, the Maguffin is as listed above; the formula for hardened steel (personally, I never thought of steel as particularly soft in the first place, but what do I know). It's never actually used in the film, but everybody's after it and it leads to murder. The movie is a little confusing at first because it doesn't leave you much time to sort out the characters and their motivations, but I found the con man charming and clever enough that I got caught up in it anyways, and the plot does sort itself out after a bit. It's a British B-movie thriller with slight touches of noir to it, and it's moderately entertaining. It's worth a look for the curious, if you can find it.


the GazettE's upcoming spring 2018 album is the continuation of DOGMA?
the GazettE's upcoming spring 2018 album is the continuation of DOGMA?
After long and hot summer day at the GazettE's festival LIVE IN SUMMER 17 "BURST INTO A BLAZE 3" earlier today, the news about the GazettE's upcoming spring 2018 album broke out at the end of the encore! Right after the members left the stage, all focus was aimed towards the big monitors by the stage where an artistic and cryptic video was shown. What this video revealed was of course the new album which we just mentioned—the name is unclear at this point—but also a few intriguing details regarding it.
They introduce the album with "The next scene", "DOGMA" and flashed a bunch of semi-cryptic messages. Is this is the continuation of DOGMA, the metamorphose of DOGMA as it is ambiguously told throughout the video? From the looks of it, it could be that the band is building upon the album DOGMA and is keeping the same theme of Project: Dark Age—which comprises of the three releases: UNDYING, DOGMA, and UGLY, amongst other movements.
Yes, we're expecting a heavy one.

We are very honored and pleased to announce that Christopher Parrish and his Dill Pickles Ragtime Band, is now our official club band. Chris is the leader/pianist of his group, along with Robin Hopkins on the banjo and Sam Kubina on the tuba. Piano, banjo and tuba (and sometimes washboard), were the early bands of the ragtime era. We are looking forward to having this group perform for us in future concerts and festivals.

A piano duet with Adam Swanson & Florian Kruger playing the Dill Pickles Rag. It's not unusual that many of the performers will team up with each other for duets, trios,quartets and more, during the show and even performing after hours. Adam is a member of the Delaware Valley Ragtime Society.
The late John Arpin playing his own composition, "The Toronto Blues." Several members of the Delaware Valley Ragtime Society are also composers, including Tom Brian and Bill Edwards. They say that imitation is the finest compliment you can give to someone. Go to the MORE page and click on Coming Events to hear Adam Swanson playing John's composition here, and several other songs from his recent concert. Adam had the privilege of knowing John and playing duets with him at other festivals. They both appeared at the Bohem Jazz & Ragtime Festival held in Kecskemet, Hungary in March 2007. He has also toured in Switzerland.
Proof you don't need a stage to perform, even a stairway works. This is a unique combination of guitar and flute. Ragtime is not just for piano only. They perform Scott Joplin's MAPLE LEAF RAG, using the intro from Joplin's THE ENTERTAINER .
Ragtime is America's first original music. Known for its entrancing syncopated rhythms, it was popular from the late 1890s up to World War I. It received a boost in popularity in the late 70's, due to the musical artistry of the late Marvin Hamlisch with his musical score for the movie, "THE STING." The movie showcased the ragtime music of Scott Joplin.
A fine example of the excellent talent you will hear at any festival.
This is Tom Briar performing his own composition," Blue Lampshade ." Tom is one of our members of the Delaware Valley Ragtime Society.
The videos below are a sample of the fun and great music to be had by a festival.
Alex Hassan & Frederick Hodges play
Der Kilometerfresser: Schneller Foxtrot
für 2 Klaviere
By Ernst Fischer
The Russian Rag by William Cobb, based on a prelude by Rachmaninoff, made famous by Dave Appolon. Played by The Modern Mandolin Quartette.
Frederick Hodges - accompanying The Peacherine Ragtime Orchestra ( Central Pennsylvania Ragtime Society ) and their rendition of a rare 1922 fox trot orchestra version of "NOLA."
Anderson & Roe Piano Duo
Just as Mozart appropriated the Turkish style into his "Rondo alla turca," we've appropriated the music of Mozart into our own. We've titled the piece "Ragtime alla turca" and although it diverts considerably from the notes of Mozart's rondo, we sought to capture the utter joyousness and virtuosity -- and the folksiness and sense of play -- of the original work.
Frederick Hodges playing his arrangement of "Kitten On The Keys", a novelty ragtime piece.
Dennis James - plays "NOLA" at the Blind Boone Festival, on Blind Boone's concert grand piano. I had the privilege of meeting Dennis when I was in Binghamton New York for the Musical Box Society East Coast Chapter meeting. I visited the home of Marion and Harvey Roehl, where Dennis accompanied the silent film, The Great Train Robbery, on Harvey's Model 50 American Photoplayer piano/pipe organ with 2 percussion and sound effects chambers.. See the video down below for a fine example of a smaller unit.
Some video examples of some of the entertainment possibilities that exist for a project of this magnitude. If you love Ragtime music, please call me, (215) 353 - 0570, and lets share some ideas. Everyone is welcome to join our group and the artistic value alone will be well worth the effort.

This Phantom Duet is hot! Just listen to that Piano-Disc equipped piano traveling all over the place in the third chorus! One of the catchiest foxtrots around (written by Harry Warren) and Adam Carroll's Ampico arrangement sounds like it was just made to be paired with the Mighty Wurlizer. The console you see here was in the home of the late Jesse Crawford.
"Home in Pasadena" is played by Jim Riggs.

On the upright piano in the main room are Jack & Chris Bradshaw. On the grand piano are Tom Brier and Larisa Migachyov. On banjo is Martin Podhrazsky. Then we move into one of the next rooms and find Kathi Backus on a third piano, and in yet another room, John Remmers on piano number four. This was just after midnight on Saturday night / early Sunday morning during the 2009 Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival in August.

Ninja Pizza Girl is best described as endless runner meets platformer. This game was originally a kickstarter in 2014 from Disparity Games. The Gamers Lounge has taken the time to check this out on PS4 and has some positive things to say about it.
The game is fun and it's easy to pick up and play. The story behind the game is simple, gamers play a girl named Gemma who works for her family's pizza business. Gamers will have to navigate platforms by jumping, dashing, slide kicking and bouncing off walls to reach their goal. The game also has ninjas and parkour. The ninjas keep it interesting, they add the X factor to this endless runner. There are multiple paths in each linear level and as the levels progress gamers are going to have to be depend on their reflexes.
One of the actions I struggled with the most was rolling after long drops. This will help gamers keep their momentum without costing them time. Gamers will collect salvage and then purchase items to boost Gemma's self esteem. Each stage has a small intro with a cutscene which helps move the story along.
The graphics remind me of platformers from the 90s, and everything is easy on the eyes. There is a nice tutorial that introduces gamers to the basics. While I was playing, I kept thinking of SpeedRunners from tinyBuild. I felt the action and progression of the levels was very similar to SpeedRunners. The game also reminded me of Mirror's Edge in a 2D environment with all the parkour elements.
I wish this game had a multiplayer component or something with co-op. The story has some nice substance to it but it feels short in some ways. The music and sound effects and upbeat and designed to keep up with the speed of the game.
Game is out on PS4, Xbox One, and Steam for $10 and there are plans for it to come to the Wii U, iOs and Android soon. Game was provided by the publisher for the review.


A series of inspirational quotes printed on to wallpaper are helping to inspire students and create a more inviting workspace at the busy Lambeth Academy in Clapham, London.
With only a 2 week lead time between the initial creative meeting and the clients half term installation requirements we rose to the challenge and completed this school graphics project with time to spare.
Our team quickly created alternative designs, all working within the schools' brand colours and typographic style.
Final designs were presented as 3D photographic mock-ups so the school could clearly visualise the finished artwork in their school building. After a little fine tuning and adjustment finished artwork was approved for production.
A full colour printed wall covering was chosen for these graphics, it provides a superior finish and can be installed on almost any surface. We then applied a durable matt laminate finish to make the large prints suitable for even the busiest areas – we also use this production process for installations in public buildings, retail and of course busy schools.
Our fitters were on site on time and prepared in advance. They made quick work of a multiple location installation within the school, finishing ahead of schedule.

Sixth Form prospectus design that asks students at Wrotham School in Kent to really think about what they want do in the future.
Our headline asks an important question and was written with intent. It's a headline typeset in extra bold to show its importance and designed to get students at Wrotham School really thinking about what they want to do in their futures.
Students' thinking is encouraged with grids that showcase career options throughout the prospectus design. These prompt thought into the world of work and outline the pathways required for each outcome.
The Sixth Form prospectus design for Wrotham School continues to help build the schools' visual brand identity.
It features the schools bold use of orange combined with a strong typographic style used throughout the schools other marketing materials and signage.
A new school prospectus designed to boost both enrolment and reputation within the local community, and to give the students a sense of pride and ambition.
Our work for Kingsdown School in Swindon started with creating a new school identity and school uniform design. Both were received well, especially with students who liked the more contemporary feel and the fresh style of the new clothing.
The brief for the Kingsdown School prospectus design was to help present not only the schools' new identity but also its' new vision and ethos designed to put Kingsdown School on track for many future successes.
A fresh photographic style was used to help tell a visual story of student engagement and enthusiasm. Each image was carefully planned and taken which gave us a good selection to call upon especially with our full page design.
You can download a copy of the Kingsdown School prospectus at the Kingsdown School website.
School prospectus design in the style of a coffee table book that combines strong messages and large images and takes a step away from the standard portrait format.
Wrotham School commissioned a new school prospectus design that reflected the individuality of the school, students achievements and the wide curriculum on offer. The brief also called for the prospectus design to 'feel' different too.
While pupils at Wrotham School enjoy strong academic success, many students also participate in the wider creative, performing arts and sporting opportunities available.
The new school prospectus design used a mix of fresh photography and large messages that created a landscape coffee table style book that clearly positions the school apart from its' contemporaries.
Orange was a bold choice, but it reflects both the creativity and vibrancy found at the school and importantly sets a visual contrast with the traditional black.

New branding for premium prosecco label gets showcased at Vidici launch!
After months of hard work from all involved it was a busy weekend for new premium drink label Vidici Prosecco with launch parties @SugarHut and @themezebromley.
The label features a bespoke split Bodoni Book 'V' motif which hints at classical Italian styles. It's reproduced unabashedly in gloss gold over a shrink wrap pearlescent bottle.
It's not just its branding that's crisp and distinctive, its taste is challenging the Champagne market with one sommelier saying "[Vidici is] characterised by a brilliant light yellow straw colour, Vidici is delicate on the nose providing hints of honeydew and citrus fruits. On the palate it is fresh, crisp and distinctive. An excellent example of classic prosecco".

Luxury business cards impress your customers and improve brand awareness.
Handing over a business card. It identifies you and your company and carries your contact details and maybe a brand message. The process is carried out at the start of every working relationship, every minute of every day, all around the world – often without much thought.
But now the luxury business card has raised the bar, aiming to impress your customers.
A luxury business card speaks volumes about you and the company you represent. They come in many styles and finishes to help you make your mark.
A simple will always help your presentation. Lamination is the process of taking the printed material and enclosing it between two sheets of clear plastic film. A laminated business card will have increased strength and durability, and be protected from stains and moisture. The lamination can also add sheen and vibrancy to the printed inks. While gloss and matt lamination are both popular techniques, soft touch and textured lamination can also create a finish that will stand out.
This three layered card comes in a range of colours to work with any design and help to enhance your brand. A single sheet of coloured card is bonded between sheets of high quality bright white board. This creates a thick, up to 1mm!, 800gsm card that really stand out from others.
If it's good enough for the Royal Mint then… That's right our tearproof business cards are virtually indestructible and 100% waterproof too - just like the new notes in your wallet, ask us next time you call.

Stop, Look, Listen. International investors at VTB Capital's annual London conference did all three, unaware of the creativity and planning behind the scenes.
Russia Calling London is an annual investment forum organised by VTB Capital. It gathers together international investors and Russian business leaders and provides participants an opportunity to discuss the market trends and factors that influence Russia's investment climate. Recently the event has been held at the Jumeirah Carlton Hotel in London's Belgravia.
The creative thinking and planning starts 3 months in advance and culminates right up to the evening before the event. Site visits take place early and both staging and venue dressing is designed and agreed along with support materials such as brochures and reports. Branded marketing materials, pens, pencils, flags and fun giveaways are designed and samples passed by the client for production.
A large event takes a lot of support materials, delegate packs contain branded pens, pencils and gifts, while rooms are branded with temporary event graphics.
It's a team effort, and once our creative team have finished our site team spend the day before the event preparing the venue - stage building, dressing meeting rooms and breakout areas, installing way pointing and packing delegate bags.
A business card is still one of your most important business tools, even in a digital world.
Sure you can email your contact details in a split second, but when you're meeting face-to-face your business card speaks volumes about you and the company you represent.
A well designed card will help you make that important impression. Your key information will be easy to read and clearly presented and the style of the card will showcase your company's brand.
Don't forget to consider back of the card - it can be used with great success to carry additional messages, showcase your product or repeat your information in a second language.
Don't compromise on quality. A well chosen crisp white board will always leave the right impression, it will hold both type and colour well making it easer to read. We often add a laminated finish to help give a tactile feel to a card and offer protection for the most heavy handed recipient. We're also finding soft touch finishes popular with many or to really make a mark luxury card with coloured cores.
In many cultures the exchange of business cards is an essential first step to establishing a business relationship. Travel to Hong Kong or Japan, where etiquette is key, without a business card to exchange with new associates and you might as well get the next flight home. It better be in Chinese on one side as well as your own language and of course printed and finished with care – a good first impression will set the tone for the relationship.
The specialist recruitment agency have employed new branding and a new microsite to strengthen their market position.
Harwood Recruitment, the market leading financial sales consultancy has gone live with their refresh brand identity with the launch of their website.
The brief to create a new identity that also works as an icon evolved the candidate search theme. The favoured typography has been set and redrawn to allow for the 'O' and the magnifying glass icon to work.
The logotype is at home on screen, on stationery and signage – while on social media the magnifying glass device is used in isolation.
A fully responsive one page microsite quickly gave Harwood Recruitment the credibility they needed. Utilising the Bootstrap framework and employing the Font Awesome CSS toolkit allowed for quick, cross platform development and deployment.
Wealden Rehab exhibited at the OT Show at the NEC in Birmingham and we made sure they made a stand.
The project started with a client brief about the care equipment Wealden Rehab wanted to take to the show. A creative platform and copywriting was then agreed and our exhibition design featuring clean white walls finished with laser cut vinyl typography and graphics took shape.
Incorporating large equipment into a tight space can be tricky but the build took full advantage of the space, including using the full height to emphasise Wealden Rehab's presence in the exhibition hall.
The star of the stand (if not the show!) was the integral load-bearing ceiling and doorway that was used to showcase the 'Roomer S' a revolutionary room-to-room patient transfer hoist.
No client exhibition is ready for potential customers without supporting material. Our suite of care equipment brochures meant delegates left with the right information in branded bags along with giveaway Wealden Rehab pens, hand sanitiser and spring water.
To top it off the client even had complementary Krispy Kreme doughnuts for those with a sweet tooth!
Keep on-brand with manifestation solutions that do more than just aid privacy.
We use manifestation in a range of finishes, colours and appearances. We also laser cut, as shown above, or print on the vinyl to create messaging and styling elements that develop your company's brand.
Manifestation is the term used to describe a vinyl film that is applied to glass windows, partitions and doors to stop people walking into the glass and often add privacy.

Packaging design that takes the biscuit!
Tasty promotional packaging design. Put the kettle on and grab those biscuits, give them to your clients instead and leave your message too.
Clients love gifts and these promotional packaged biscuits are great way to say you care and leave a reminder at their desk or in the office kitchen.
Each tin is designed around your brand identity and to reflect your marketing and messaging. We'll discuss ideas and designs before we agree a proof, start baking1 your biscuits and printing your promotional packaging.
That age-old question, only you can decide, but what could be a better accompaniment to that morning cuppa than a crumbly biscuit ready for dunking2.
Choose a traditional baked oats biscuit or one with a thick milk chocolate coating - both are hand baked in the UK from fine ingredients.
Just don't get crumbs everywhere!
1. We're designers, not master bakers, we'll get the professionals to do the actual baking.
2. Rye Design recognise biscuit dunking is a personal choice.
It's Valentine's Day and we're sharing the love with our bespoke card for clients.
If you're looking for a idea to get you clients attention give our team a call.
We're visiting the 'Occupation' installation by Steve Mace at the Rochester Art Gallery & Craft Case.
Guess there's a job for us if we need one.
An annual report and accounts provides a comprehensive review on a company's activities and financial position for the preceding year.
Even with the dominance of the internet on the flow of information there's still a requirement for printed reporting and financial institutions are a good example of the demand.
VTB Capital entrusted the publication of their annual report to us at Rye Design. The document provides a review of business and consists of over 100 pages of financial reporting for those that want to get down to the numbers. A digital proofing process helps keep a record of amendments and ensure accuracy throughout before a final proof is approved by the client team.
For many years annual reports have been used as a marketing tool as well as a matter of financial record. The clients brand and current messaging is used to create a document that forms part of their overall suite of customer facing material.
Pages are carefully printed in full colour on a silk art paper and then perfect bound. A matt laminated outer cover helps give a tactile feel. A PUR perfect binding is used on report and accounts, this binding uses a polyurethane reactive glue that gives a strong bind to withhold the heavy use some copies will see over the years.
With digital printing techniques short runs are feasible, cost effective and can be produced in alternative languages.
We think that if Piet Mondrian could have seen our installation at the entrance to Strood Academy in South East England he would have approved.
The huge area of stark glazing at the front of the new build academy was looking a little too formal for a building full of teenagers. Our graphics feature the Academy's logo, a representation of the nearby River Medway, framed by simple colour blocks from the 4 colleges that make up the school.
If you don't like heights look away now. It took 2 of us and a specialist scissor tower (nearly 10 meters up) to install the piece on the glazing at Strood Academy. A light fast vinyl will help the installation to stay fresh for years to come.
Tension mounts in the room @TheDrum Design Awards at The Marriott in London's Grosvenor Square.
We didn't make it on stage but enjoyed an evening of good conversation with other creatives, plus it was about time we dusted of those tuxedos.
