Interview by Aaron de Silva
Twenty years have flown by since Sim Boon Yang and Calvin Sim set up eco-id. In the course of these two decades, the pair have orchestrated many an award-winning resort, helping to redefine the resort typology in the process. Revisiting their early works – such as The Metropolitan, The Sarojin and the W Maldives – Boon and Cal (as they like to be called) reminisce about their struggles and triumphs. A resort's reflecting pool inspires contemplation; similarly, moments like this allow introspection. And just as the pool's mirror-like surface reflects the beauty around it, a revisitation allows an appreciation of the big picture.
Looking back on your early projects, what comes to mind?
Our first project was a hotel in Manado, Indonesia, that Tang Wee Kit (Executive Chairman of Tang Holdings) commissioned us to do.
Wee Kit had one condition, which was that he wanted us to set up our own firm. So we started the company with one employee in the basement of my house!
Unfortunately the Manado project stalled, but we had a few ongoing residential projects and A&A (additions and alterations) works. That led us to a few hospitality projects such as The Metropolitan hotel in Bangkok; The Sarojin, a classical resort in Khao Lak, Thailand; and the W Maldives, the first W resort in the world. Another interesting chapter was when, by chance, we got approached by RSH Limited to work on a Reebok shop that could be rolled out internationally, on different scales – mega-flagship, medium-sized store, store-in-store.
Sounds like you scored a coup!
We had no track record, only good ideas. (Reebok) took a risk with us. Our concept for the 7,000 sq. ft. mega-flagship in Millenia Walk had an electronic shopfront composed of back-projection TVs, a branding wall, and a stainless steel bridge which customers had to cross. When they arrived inside, there was an edutainment section, a shoe wall, a Star Wars-like console etc. Then they entered a capsule, which had TVs playing music and information on Reebok. It was very futuristic, but unfortunately a little too ahead of its time. It lasted for about six months, and then it was taken down. However, Reebok bought the rights from us and rolled out the concept in different scales all around the world.
That experience taught us about branding and how to engage the target market correctly. Eventually, that became important to our work in hotels.
Another retail project where branding was important was Emotus, an affordable luxury watch shop. That exercise was a struggle between articulating the shop's identity and individual watch brand identities, and how you give equivalent weightage to each. High-end watch shops usually practice the culture of intimidation, but if you overdo it, nobody will come. So we had to make the shop feel classy but also welcoming.
How do you feel about those projects now?
In the early days, there was a certain naivety in the way we approached things. We didn't have a lot of experience running a business. But over time, we learnt to sharpen our acumen.
What were you seeking to express?
The early jobs were not about showing off. We liked the challenge of doing something that we had never done before. We had no preconceived ideas of what it should look like. Every job was done from the ground up.
We wanted to craft spaces well, in terms of elegance and proportion. Simple terms that are somewhat lost these days. People tend to look for the 'wow' factor.
What fundamentals did those early projects contribute to your understanding today?
Detailing. Doing residential and retail projects forced us to deal with things on all scales.
Experience is a double-edged sword. Your knowledge has increased, but so has the baggage that comes with it. Jadedness can set in very easily.
Every project that we take on, we look at it from a fresh angle. We don't let that jadedness affect us. Like with The Metropolitan. The client required us to think out of the box. How do you convert an old, 300-room YMCA into a glamorous hotel? We did major work to this hotel, created a new lobby, a new gym, the Met Bar, redid the pool, and converted the gym into duplex suites. It was an exercise in restraint, how not to overdo things. That's the DNA of the operator, Christina Ong (head of COMO Hotels and Resorts).
Around the same time, we did The Sarojin. We kept it very clean. It was near a beach but not on the beach, so there were no attractive physical attributes. The only thing the site had was an old banyan tree that sat on land that was always flooded. So we made it into a reflecting pool, with the tree in the centre, and that became the focal point for the whole resort. The arrival pavilion framed views to the tree. The Sarojin had no obvious brand, but it had an identity, and that identity became the brand.
Then came the W Maldives. How did that come about?
We first started working with Starwood Asia Pacific on feasibility studies etc. That was how we got our foot in the door. Then there was a design competition, and fortunately we won. It was interesting because the client had not done a resort before, and all they knew was the Balinese aesthetic. We said that it didn't have to be grounded in a Balinese look, but a chic, modern, tropical lifestyle.
In 1997, just one year after starting the company, the Asian Financial Crisis hit. How did that affect you?
We've always been very careful with how we ran the business, whether in terms of hiring or otherwise.
We were lucky in that we had a good balance of bigger projects and residential jobs.
Has the way you work changed in the last 20 years?
We still work in much the same way, except maybe we've refined our processes. Now, when we start on a resort project, we're more informed, and it begins with a particular narrative. That's the trick, to get it right in the early stages, when you're inspired by the DNA of the project or the narrative of the location. We used to go to client presentations with 20 AutoCAD drawings, but now we show them a magazine that we produce in-house, specifically for the project. We started doing that when we were working on The Metropolitan. A magazine looks more presentable than storyboards. Clients tend to criticise less with a book. They feel like it's already complete.
What do you think your role as an architect is today?
I think having a healthy disregard for convention is important, because then you scrutinise everything. We have a contrarian view of things, and the more we apply that, the more we look at things differently.
We're only involved in a minute spectrum of architecture and design. I don't think what we're doing is going to make a dent in the grand scheme of things. We get a lot of satisfaction when we finish the job.

Els jovians (en llatí: ioviani) i herculans (en llatí: herculiani) van ser els palatins superiors, Guàrdia Imperial, unitats dels emperadors de finals de l'Imperi Romà dels anys 290 fins al segle setè. El nom prové de l'equació dels dos co-emperadors Dioclecià i Maximià amb els déus romans Júpiter i Hèrcules. L'antiga Guàrdia Pretoriana es va basar en el Castra Praetoria a Roma, i van demostrar sovint deslleialtat a la Corona, fent i deposant emperadors i fins i tot en una ocasió el 193 posant l'Imperial tron a subhasta al millor postor (cf.: Didi Julià). Així, Dioclecià, que va governar des de Nicomèdia, promogué dues legions fidels de la Il·líria (Legió V Iovia i VI Herculana), l'àrea d'on ell també descendia, per ser els protectors personals dels emperadors romans.
La guàrdia pretoriana va seguir existint fins a la seva abolició per Constantí I el Gran a prop del 312, i se substitueix per la guàrdia imperial, Scholae Palatinae. Les dues legions però segueixen sent comptades entre les unitats superiors de l'exèrcit, i després de la seva divisió entre els imperis romans d'Orient i d'Occident, també van quedar dividides.

Les dues legions però segueix sent comptats entre les unitats superiors de l'exèrcit, i després de la seva divisió entre l'Orient i Occident, ells també estaven dividits.

Al document de finals del segle quart Notitia Dignitatum, s'anomenen, per l'oest (amb el títol seniores), directament sota el comandament de la peditum magister, i per l'Orient (iuniores), sota el comandament del magister militum praesentalis. El 398, els Jovians i Herculans d'Occident van ser part de la petita unitat que va envair província d'Àfrica i va suprimir la revolta Gildònica.

Q: @Html.DropDownListFor not populating with validation element I have an MVC project in studio 2013 based on C#.
I have a number of fields on a web pags using razor syntax some of these are just regular @Html.EditorFor() with a class of @class = "form-control" and others are @Html.DropDownListFor().
I have a model that has enables me to add data annotations for form validation. I am using entity framework to bring in my districts from SQL and i am displaying these as a list for the dropdown.  this all works fine, its purely an issue with displaying the validation message im having.
Please take a look at the following code sample i have used to create these.
Here is my model...
namespace MySystem.Models
{
    [MetadataType(typeof(CRecord_Buddy))]
    public partial class CRecord
    {

     // properties used to pull back and display the name etc instead on an   id in dropdown boxes.

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Select District.")]
    public string DistrictName { get; set; }

 public class CRecord_Buddy
    {
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter a Surname.")]
        public string Surname { get; set; }

        ...
    }
 }

}
my create.cshtml page looks like the following...
//code for Surname
 @Html.EditorFor(model => model.client.Surname, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
 @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.client.Surname, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
 @Html.ValidationMessage("Surname", "*", new { @class = "text-danger" })

//code for district
 @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.client.District, new SelectList(Model.allDistricts, "ID", "District1", 1), "- Select District -")
 @Html.ValidationMessage("DistrictName", "*", new { @class = "text-danger" })
 @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.client.District, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

The below is a image of what is displayed when the validation kicks in...

As you can see from the above images, the validation works fine for the @Html.EditorFor item but not the @Html.Dropdownlistfor item.  These are both set up the same in terms of populating the validation but i cant seem to get the dropdownlist item working properly.
Any suggestions are welcome.

A: Required attribute is on DistrictName not on District.
That's reason validation result is not visible.

A: Try to define as shown below:
//code for district
@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.client.DistrictName, new SelectList(Model.allDistricts,
    "ID", "District1", 1), "- Select District -")
@Html.ValidationMessage("DistrictName", "*", new { @class = "text-danger" })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.client.DistrictName, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })


Students can change the world! Students in a classroom are presented with a real world problem and a toolkit customized to meet the problem. Teams are formed and community members who can speak to the issue are brought in.

Colgate plan takes shape as developer eyes closing
Brian Sharp
Plans for Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School are taking shape with a concept released this week showing new apartment construction atop the hill but nothing on the south lawn.
The historic school has called the 22.4-acre parcel off South Goodman Street near Highland Avenue home since 1928. But with roughly 100 students and seven faculty, school officials announced plans to sell the property back in 2016.
An initial deal fell through, but local developer Angelo Ingrassia stepped in and has been quietly working with school and city officials, as well as neighbors on an adaptive reuse of the secluded property. Ingrassia expects to close on purchase of the property this spring, when the school moves to its new home in Village Gate.
Any new construction, if it happens, would be after users are found for the main building, Strong Hall, said Michael Palumbo, COO of Flaum Management Co., which Ingrassia and his Spot on Development have retained as a consultant and real estate broker.
"The plan is to focus on Strong Hall first, and this other stuff would come later on," Palumbo said.
The concept shows two buildings, a five-story structure north of Strong Hall, and a two-story building on the northeastern edge of the property, totaling 125 apartments, adding to the 28 units that currently exist and would be renovated.
Strong Hall houses a chapel, a large banquet and catering facility and more that has been and is likely to remain as event space. The remaining square footage could be filled by anything from a boutique hotel to office tenants or a charter school. A construction timetable will be driven by market. Hope Lodge will remain.

Q: Multiindex Pivot column difference I will like to create a column on the multiindex pivot which takes the difference of last two columns (i.e. 2017 - 2016). I will also like to refer year columns by column number as these years will change in future
raw_data = {'year': [2016,2016,2017,2017],
              'month':[1,2,3,4],
            'area': ['A','B','A','B'],
'age': [10,12,50,52]}
df1 = pd.DataFrame(raw_data, columns = ['year','area','month','age'])
table=pd.pivot_table(df1,index='area','month'],columns='year',values='age',aggfunc='sum').fillna(0)

the new table should look as follows
       year     2016    2017    diff
area   month
A      1        10.0    0.0     -10.0
       3        0.0     50.0     50.0
B      2        12.0    0.0      -12.0
       4        0.0     52.0      52.0

A: Subtract columns selected by positions by DataFrame.iloc:
table['diff'] = table.iloc[:, -1] - table.iloc[:, -2]

print (table)
year        2016  2017  diff
area month
A    1      10.0   0.0 -10.0
     3       0.0  50.0  50.0

Bonny Doon Cigare Volant 2013
HEY!! Unless you are currently doing heart surgery ---- STOP, breathe, and allow the MAJESTY of Bonny Doon's Cigare Volant deal that we are serving up WASH over you. WOW. A LEGENDARY wine from maestro Randall Grahm, at the BEST price you have EVER imagined. Deep, complex and intense "Chateauneuf-du-Pape in CA" brilliance. MUST be tasted to be believed at our price. Sensational. Truly sensational. 93 POINTS!!!
Bonny Doon, and this wine in particular, holds some significance for us (well, your humble scribe, anyway). It was really one of our "epiphany" wines way back in the oh-so-distant mid-90s. At our price, this is a whalloping, face-melting guitar-solo level of a deal for a wine that is fantastically complex, layered, chameleon-like, and a critic fave. 93 POINTS?! Did we mention that?
Deep, dark, mysterious and redolent with Chateauneuf-like savory-ness, it packs in sweet macerated blue fruits, smoked meat, teriyaki, and delicious pie crust highlights. This truly is a dead-serious mouthful of wine. A TOTAL COUP for us!! PLEASE do not miss!! Wow!! We still can't believe it! While it lasts…
While Bonny Doon Vineyard began with the (in retrospect) foolish attempt to replicate Burgundy in California, Randall Grahm realized early on that he would have far more success creating more distinctive and original wines working with Rhône varieties in the Central Coast of California. The key learning here (achieved somewhat accidentally but fortuitously) was that in a warm, Mediterranean climate, it is usually blended wines that are most successful. In 1986 Bonny Doon Vineyard released the inaugural vintage (1984) of Le Cigare Volant, an homage to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and this continues as the winery's flagship/starship brand.
Appellation: Central Coast
Blend: Southern Rhone Red Blend
Varietal: 55% grenache, 25% syrah, 16% mourvèdre, 4% cinsaut
Vineyard: 38% Rancho Solo, 21% Bien Nacido 18% Ventana, 17% Del Barba, 4% Bechtold, 2% Alta Loma
Winemaker: Randall Grahm
Farming: Biodynamic viticulture and biodynamic practices
Alcohol: 14.50%
TA: 6.5g/100mLs
Production: 2400
Since then, Bonny Doon Vineyard has enjoyed a long history of innovation – the first to truly popularize Rhône grapes in California, to successfully work with cryo-extraction for sundry "Vins de Glacière, the first to utilize microbullage in California, the first to popularize screwcaps for premium wines, and, quite significantly, the first to embrace true transparency in labeling with its ingredient labeling initiative. The upside of all of this activity has brought an extraordinary amount of creativity and research to the California wine scene; the doon-side, as it were, was perhaps an ever so slight inability to focus, to settle doon, if you will, into a single, coherent direction.1
Bonny Doon Vineyard grew and grew with some incredibly popular brands (Big House, Cardinal Zin and Pacific Rim) until it became the 28th largest winery in the United States. Randall came to the realization – better late than Nevers – that he had found that the company had diverged to a great extent from his original intention of producing soulful, distinctive and original wines, and that while it was amusing to be able to get restaurant reservations almost anywhere (the only real tangible perk he was able to discern from the vast scale of the operation), it was time to take a decisive course correction. With this in mind, he sold off the larger brands (Big House and Cardinal Zin) in 2006 and Pacific Rim in 2010.
In the intervening years, the focus of the winery has been to spend far more time working with vineyards in improving their practices, as well as on making wines with a much lighter touch – using indigenous yeast whenever possible, and more or less eschewing vinous maquillage, (at least not to Tammy Faye Bakker-like levels). Recently, Randall has purchased an extraordinary property in San Juan Bautista, which he calls Popelouchum, (the Mutsun word for "paradise,") where he is profoundly intent on producing singular wines expressive of place. There are also very grand plans afoot to plant a dry-farmed Estate Cigare vineyard. #staydooned.

There's perhaps no better example of this system in action than the sci-fi comedy series, Rick and Morty , which Harmon co-created. But you might be thinking, this is a blog for authors, not TV comedy writers. Why are they talking about a cartoon with a burping granddad? Well, it has to do with something no novelist can avoid: structure. Click To Tweet. It lays out a kind of narrative arc that's commonly used by myths from all over the world and emphases how almost all forms of storytelling have a cyclical nature. In broad strokes, they always involve:. Some of these labels allude to a particular type story: tales of squires becoming sword-wielding knights, recovering potions from some hidden cave. Real life-and-death stuff. What Harmon did is refine these to just eight steps which kind of coincide with standard plot points.
Dawn of X is a relaunch initiative presented by Marvel Comics of various comics related to the X-Men franchise. Mutants are offered asylum on the island of Krakoa, ruled under a council formed by Professor X , Magneto and Apocalypse , among others. While several factions deal with their own issues, Moira MacTaggert warns them all about an incoming threat that may doom mutantkind, and probably the whole world.

By Matt Donnelly. Senior Film Writer. In a triumphant return to the San Diego Comic-Con main stage, leadership at Marvel Studios managed some splashy surprises and showed off risky creative bets for the next two years of content coming from the superhero operation. But the biggest takeaway from the Saturday presentation inside Hall H was how important Marvel will make Disney Plus, the new digital streaming product and Netflix rival that the Walt Disney Company is launching in November.
The mere visual of Disney Plus programs occupying equal space on a graphic timeline of upcoming Marvel movies — projected wide in Hall H — lent the service a kind of cachet that earlier looks at the platform failed to inspire. Marvel has long rejoiced in making audiences students in their craft, hiding easter eggs in films and even training a generation of moviegoers to stay glued to their reclining seats through end credits for bonus scenes that tease the next adventure.
It was also the title that revealed the least in Hall H, only showing an animated logo in a vintage-looking font that came accompanied by the sounds of radio frequencies. All of those titles are anchored by legacy characters introduced in the 11 years that Marvel has risen to cultural dominance. The theatrical slate, on the other hand, is highly experimental.
Kumail Nanjiani and Brian Tyree Henry got pop-star-level reception in the room when the cast was revealed, as did a fierce and maternal Salma Hayek. Fans stood on their feet, and Jolie seemed winded telling the crowd how excited she was to be there. Currently in production, the title is scheduled for a November release.

See the gallery. See the MCU box-office results. The warrior Thor Chris Hemsworth is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard by his father Odin Sir Anthony Hopkins for his arrogance and sent to Earth to live amongst humans. Falling in love with scientist Jane Foster Natalie Portman teaches Thor much-needed lessons, and his new-found strength comes into play as a villain from his homeland sends dark forces toward Earth.
In the pantheon of Marvel Superheroes, from my vantage point, Thor is a second-tier player.

Unfortunately, it will be the only Marvel Studios release in , due to the worldwide pandemic that has delayed productions and shut down movie theaters, with no clear indication of when they will reopen. Across the summer of , Marvel made big waves by releasing the Phase Four film and television slate, revealing the cast of the upcoming Eternals , and reconciling with Sony for at least two more Spider-Man appearances in MCU films.

Wyatt Russell joins the returning cast as John Walker — the U. Agent of Marvel Comics fame. Are the Sokovia Accords still in effect? Will the lead characters have to register with some government agency?
As hard as it might be to imagine an MCU without the superheroes we've come to love over the past decade of twenty-plus blockbusters, it's comforting to know the universe isn't done. That leads to the question of what's coming next, and Marvel Studios has already announced a dozen new films and shows and their release dates, as well as eight other films and shows still awaiting release dates. So, here's everything you need to know about what's next for the MCU.
The complete list of upcoming Marvel MCU Phase 4 movies However, be advised, almost EVERY MCU Phase 4 date has Jane Foster will wield the hammer just as she did in the comics!). Release date: July 8,
Reunited by their father's death, estranged siblings with extraordinary powers uncover shocking family secrets — and a looming threat to humanity. Years after they rose to fame as young crime-fighting superheroes, the estranged Hargreeves siblings come together to mark their father's death. After sharing the story of his time travel with Vanya, Five hunts for the owner of a fake eye.
But two mysterious assassins are hot on his trail. Worried their mother is hiding something, Luther and Allison call a family meeting. Cha-Cha and Hazel catch a big break in their hunt for Five. The story of Luther's transformation emerges. At the motel, Klaus puts Hazel and Cha-Cha's training to the test. Allison grows suspicious of Leonard. Five lets Luther in on his secret, Klaus returns from a harrowing trip through time, and Vanya begins to feel different without her meds.
Sparks fly when Vanya finds her siblings holding an emergency family meeting without her. Five starts his new job at HQ. Cha-Cha faces a dilemma.
Even more new shows were revealed at D23, the biennial Disney fan convention. Based on everything we know so far, the Marvel Cinematic Universe will never be the same again. Following the events of Avengers: Endgame , the MCU will be radically different as new heroes join the universe and familiar faces take on new identities. In several interviews about the new movies, Feige has made it clear that Phase Four is all about new beginnings. But keeping track of everything amidst the hype can be dizzying.
They also claim it features some of the best combat sequences the MCU has ever seen.

By Mat Elfring and Chris E. So far, has been a rough year for Marvel. While the wait to kick off Phase 4 has been delayed, there is still plenty to be excited about. We know the release dates for upcoming movies and television shows, and there were a few huge surprises, like the announcement of a Blade movie. We've known for months that Marvel has specific dates slotted for "Untitled Marvel Projects," and now, we can finally fill in the gaps with confirmed release dates.
Below, you'll find everything confirmed for the future of Marvel, from the movies and TV shows within the MCU to the Hulu animated and live-action series which may or may not live outside of the shared cinematic universe. Please keep in mind that this list leaves out Sony's Marvel properties like Venom and their future projects–like the Into The Spider-Verse sequel–as they're not produced by Marvel Studios. Ever since The Avengers, fans of the MCU have been waiting and waiting and waiting for a solo Black Widow movie, and it's finally starting to come together, but it has been a bit of a bumpy road with not much to report on.
Back in July , Marvel approached more than 60 female directors to helm the project, and Cate Shortland was tapped to direct. Ned Branson was brought on to write the film. Black Widow's first trailer arrived in December in spectacular fashion, bringing with it some potential clues about the movie's plot and first-looks at brand new faces.
It's a year since The Eternals was teased. He again teased The Eternals at a press day for Captain Marvel , saying he wanted to introduce an ensemble team to the MCU, like Guardians of the Galaxy, but not tonally. So who, or what, are The Eternals?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to have an insanely busy Phase 4, which is the upcoming MCU stage that will contain a massive mix of limited TV series and regular superhero movies. We initially thought that February 8th, May 6th, and July 29th were the dates of unannounced Phase 4 films that will premiere in Per The Hollywood Reporter , Marvel has now set five extra dates for Marvel movies, one in and four others in

AHS: Apocalypse: Emma Roberts' Madison Raises Hell in First-Look Photo
By Andy Swift / August 28 2018, 11:05 AM PDT
Courtesy of FX
"Scorched earth" might sound like an extreme term, but in the case of this new photo from the set of American Horror Story: Apocalypse, it's the only way to describe the scene. Emma Roberts on Tuesday shared a snap of herself on the set of the FX drama's upcoming eighth season — premiering Wednesday, Sept. 12 at 10/9c — giving diehard fans of both Murder House and Coven something to enjoy.
The picture finds Roberts in character as Coven's Madison Montgomery, standing atop the wreckage of what appears to be the home of Murder House's Ben and Vivien Harmon (played by Dylan McDermott and Connie Britton, both of whom are scheduled to return this season). Adding to the intrigue of the situation, Roberts captioned her photo, "I bring you Madison Montgomery on #AHS8. Does the bitch survive the #Apocalypse?" Though it's probably pointless to even speculate about whether her character will "survive," considering she's already returned from the dead (at least) once before.
And this isn't the first behind-the-scenes treat from the AHS: Apocalypse set. Series creator Ryan Murphy recently shared shots of McDermott and Britton back in their characters' home, as well as a look at all of the Coven witches returning for Apocalypse, including Roberts, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe, Gabourey Sidibe, Frances Conroy and Stevie Nicks.
Browse the shot of Roberts' character below, then drop a comment with your hopes for AHS: Apocalypse.

Q: Setting treshold when using Mika Tuupola's Viewport Selectors I'm currently working in a portfolio site with horizontal navigation (http://espaun256.prompt-dev.com/moving/), and I'm using Mika Tuupola's Viewport Selectors (http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/viewport) to set the element closest to the center of the screen.
So far I have this:
$('#wrap').bind('scrollstop', function(){
    var inview = $('article.post:in-viewport').get().length,
        center = Math.round(inview/2)-1;

    $('article.post:in-viewport:eq('+center+')').addClass('activo');
});

Even if I'm close to get what I'm looking for, I know that there must be better and cleaner ways to do it...
... for example setting left and right screen tresholds using the same Viewport Selectors plugin ... any help figuring out how to set up tresholds would be very much appreciated.

A: Ok! so... I found this brilliant improvement of Mika Tuupola's Viewport Selectors here:
https://github.com/theluk/jquery_viewport/tree/d7ed501b5eac2bed90253c134df611cd2d843112
which adds the ability to pass the treshold as the selector parameter...
Thank you theluk1 for the help.
So, I came to this:
$('#wrap').bind('scrollstop', function(){
    var inviewID = $('article.post:not(:left-of-screen('+ whatever-treshold +'))').attr('id');
    $('#'+inviewID).addClass('activo');
});

... and works so much better!

El Campionat Africà de Nacions, (nom complet: Campionat Total Africà de Nacions) és un torneig de futbol que es va presentar per primera vegada l'11 de setembre de 2007. Està organitzat per la Confederació Africana de Futbol i la disputen els millors equips nacionals africans, amb la condició que es convoqui només a aquells jugadors que es troben en actiu als campionats de lliga domèstics durant la temporada en què es disputa la competició. Els jugadors expatriats, encara que es trobin en altres equips africans, no poden formar part de la selecció.

La primera edició del torneig va ser l'edició de 2009. La seu va ser Costa d'Ivori, i el primer vencedor la selecció de la República Democràtica del Congo. Per la segona edició del torneig es va expandir la terna d'equips a 16 seleccions, celebrant-se al Sudan el 2011. Aquella edició va ser guanyada per Tunísia, coincidint amb l'inici de la Revolució de Tunísia.

El torneig se celebra cada dos anys, alternant amb la Copa d'Àfrica.

Brighton Gay Men's Chorus Fringe Show 2014: Nautical But Nice on 2nd & 3rd May at St George's Church, Kemptown
Home/Press Release/Brighton Gay Men's Chorus Fringe Show 2014: Nautical But Nice on 2nd & 3rd May at St George's Church, Kemptown
Brighton Gay Men's Chorus sets sail on May 2nd and 3rd in time for the launch of Brighton Fringe festival, when it will be presenting its latest show, Nautical But Nice, at St George's Church in the heart of Brighton's Kemptown. A light-hearted musical adventure on the High Cs, Nautical But Nice will chart the murky exploits of some of Brighton's unsung gay pirates.
Marc Yarrow, Brighton Gay Men's Chorus' Musical Director, says:
"With the inimitable support of Tim Nail at the piano, I am really excited to be directing the Chorus' fourth appearance in Brighton's Fringe Festival. When I was first appointed as MD, I was proud to initiate our participation in Brighton's world-renowned annual cultural event. For this year's nautical themed show I have devised a programme that caters to a wide range of musical tastes, with offerings from modern musical icons such as Lady Gaga, Kate Bush and David Bowie, through to classics by Sondheim and Faure – and, as usual, many of the musical numbers will be in-house arrangements."
Paul Charlton, Chairman for the Chorus, added:
"Our Fringe Show has become a firm favourite in our annual musical calendar, both with the boys and our loyal and growing audience. We are also delighted that once again that Brighton Gay Men's Chorus' distinctive fun-filled approach to music-making will be promoting our own charitable objective of helping to raise funds for two extremely local worthy charitable causes, the Brighton branch of the RNLI and a Worthing based charity Wolfram Syndrome UK Support Group."
Nautical But Nice takes place at 7.30 pm on 2nd & 3rd May at St. George's Church in Kemptown, Brighton. Doors open at 7pm. Licensed Bar available before and during the interval. Tickets (£12 Standard/ £10 Concession) and more information are available at: www.brightongmc.org (no booking fees) or the Fringe Box office: boxoffice.brightonfringe.org/music/5792/brighton-gay-men-s-chorus-nautical-but-nice
Brighton Gay Men's Chorus was established in 2005 and now has around 80 members.
It is a registered charity, no. 1137437, with 3 key charitable objectives:
The promotion of equality and diversity for the public benefit by the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, in particular but not exclusively by raising public awareness of discrimination towards and issues affecting the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender (LGBT) community, and in such other ways as are exclusively charitable as the trustees may from time to time determine.

Q: Certificate error with Internet Explorer 9 one of my coworkers installed IE9 on their computer. They are now having trouble accessing some websites that once worked(and still work) in other browsers.
One example is this page: https://secure.projectmanager.com/login.aspx
In Firefox and Chrome, there is no certificate error and the certificate is verified and such. In IE9 it will say "Certificate Error: Navigation Blocked". When pressing the "continue to site" button though, nothing changes, it just stays on the same page. We've tried adding the site to trusted sites, but nothing is helping this.
Is this a bug in IE9 or is there error elsewhere?
Also, it's not a cache issue because this is the first time accessing that site from that computer. And that site works fine from Firefox and Chrome on that computer, and works fine from IE8 on my computer.

A: *

*Make sure your PC's date and time is correct.

*You may also follow these steps and check if it helps.

*

*Type 'inetcpl.cpl' in the start search box.

*Click on contents tab.

*Click on certificates.

*Click on 'Trusted Root Certification Authority' tab.

*Select the website name and click on 'Remove'.

*Restart Internet Explorer & try to access the website.

*Do an IE reset: go to Internet Options, Advanced Tab and hit the reset button.

More suggestions

A: This is simply fixed

*

*Browse to the site whose certificate you want to trust.

*When told "There is a problem with this website's security certificate.", choose "Continue to this website (not recommended)."

*Copy the entire URL from the command bar.

*Select Tools->Internet Options.

*Select Security->Trusted sites->Sites.

*Paste the URL in the box provided

*Confirm the URL matches, and click "Add".

*Close the "Internet Options" dialog box.

*Refresh the current page. If the error persists you may need to restart explorer.

A: The problem has been caused by Microsoft Security Update for Windows 7 (KB2585542) If you uninstall this update the problem is fixed.

A: I encountered these same symptoms once when a bad root certificate was installed for a site.
A Microsoft SBS2008 had recreated its local CA root certificate for unknown reasons and automatically renewed its SSL certificate with that, but the remote clients still had the old root certificate installed.
Trying to install the new certificate over the old one did not work. The certificate wizard displayed a "success" message but there was still only the old one installed. After forcibly uninstalling the bad root certificate and then installing the good one, the problem was gone.

A: That made the trick for me, enjoy :)

Advertisements for Themselves
Take a gander at the pathetic ad campaigns magazines and newspapers are running to promote their industries.
By Jack Shafer
Sept 28, 20106:17 PM
An ad for "magazines"
The newspaper industry is likely to hit a 25-year low in advertising sales this year. * If so, it will end up billing about half of what it billed in its record year of 2005.
But the newspaper industry aims to win back those advertisers, of course. Its trade association, the Newspaper Association of America, placed a full-page ad in the business section of today's New York Times that features a testimonial to the power of newspapers by Rishad Tobaccowala, the chief strategy and innovation officer at Vivaki, which is part of the Publicis Groupe advertising firm.
The ad isn't really designed for you or me but for advertisers, intended to excite them about buying ads in newspapers. But if you were an advertiser, would you be persuaded by Tobaccowala's rambling testimonial, drawn from an Adweekpiece he wrote earlier this month? Tobaccowala couldn't be fuzzier about the usefulness of newspapers if he tried.
The ad, which also features a portrait of Tobaccowala, the NAA slogan "Newspaper: The Multi-Medium," and a pointer to the NAA's promotional Web site Newspapermedia.com, is so bad I can imagine advertisers interpreting it as the newspaper industry's no-confidence vote in itself. * Nobody would blame advertisers if they looked at the NAA ad and used it as an excuse to pull their buys from the Times and other papers.
But, wait—there is more incompetence from the NAA! The home page for Newspapermedia.com is supposed to play a promotional video for its "Newspaper: The Multi-Medium" campaign. But the video failed to load on all but a handful of computers in our New York and Washington offices, no matter which browser—IE 7, Firefox, or Chrome—was running. What part of multimedia doesn't the NAA understand?
The newspaper industry isn't the only old media running ads touting itself. Back in April, the Magazine Publishers of America started its "Magazines, the Power of Print" campaign, and various magazines donated $90 million in ad space to it. The MPA, echoing the hopes of the NAA, designed its pitch to convince the advertising industry that magazines remain relevant in the digital age because 1) readers still delight in print and 2) magazines have a digital component, too!
As one who subscribes to four daily newspapers and plows through 30 or more magazines a month, I should be a soft target for the newspaper and magazine industries' messages. Instead of criticizing the campaigns, I should be ripping these ads out of my publications, taping them to lengths of dowel rod, and running them up and down the street like battle flags. Instead, these ads sadden me. Their insufferable pleading and self-promotion make me think of the old guy in the office who can't stop telling his younger co-workers—and his younger boss—that he's still a player and that he could prove it if only they'd just give him a chance. Just one more chance.
If anybody understands how to make a print advertisement that really, really works, it should be newspaper and magazine people. But these two campaigns are so bumbling, so unpersuasive, so dull, that you've got to wonder whether any advertising intelligence went into making them. Maybe the goal was to sell the newspaper and magazine businesses as outposts of the desperate and pitiful worthy of advertiser charity. If so, Clios all around.
For clear-eyed analysis of the print industry, please consult Alan D. Mutter's blog, Reflections of a Newsosaur. I dare the NAA to put him in a promotional ad. Feeling desperate, pleading, and pathetic? Please don't send mail to slate.pressbox@gmail.com or follow my Twitter feed.

Q: Different Alternate Representations of Functions Could someone please point out a source with detailed steps / other pointers for different alternate representations of functions?
For example, I know of two such ways
1) Taylor Series Expansion
2) Fourier Transform
Any suggestions for other such methods would be highly appreciated. Please note, I am looking to solve the problem from the linked question below and hence looking to see if any such alternate representation of functions could be helpful towards the simplification of the below.
Origin of Question:
Simplifying Multiple Integral for Compound Probability Density Function


Common water wave evolution equations, such as the mild slope equation, parabolic approximations and Boussinesq equations, are approximate statements of conservation laws. A feasible measure of their adequecy is their ability to predict steady progressive wave propagation over a horizontal bottom, where near-exact kinematics are predicted by steady wave theory. None of the common evolution equations satisfy the conservation laws. The relative errors are surprisingly large and no existing evolution is acceptable. A Boussinesq-style equation, with almost acceptable error levels, is suggested. An accurate, robust and viable water wave evolution equation for an uneven bottom is not presently available.

Organ transplantation without lifelong medication thanks to nanotechnology
IO Eindhoven
Een schematische representatie van de werking van de nieuwe nano-immuuntherapie. Tekening: Willem Mulder
A new nano-immune therapy that programs the immune system offers hope for patients who, after an organ transplant, have to take many medications to combat rejection. A mouse study shows that targeted 'reprogramming' of myeloid cells successfully counteracts organ rejection without further medication. Professor Willem Mulder published these results in Immunity, the most important journal in the field of immunology. He recently started a research group at TU Eindhoven on this subject.
Patients who receive an organ transplant have to take a whole series of immunosuppressive drugs every day for life afterwards to prevent rejection of the organ. This is known as symptom control, which tries to suppress the already activated immune system. Moreover, this method has many side effects: infections and the development of cancer are no longer controlled by this paralyzed immune system. Researcher Willem Mulder and a team of internationally renowned researchers now present a nano-immunotherapy that specifically programs the right cells of the immune system in the bone marrow, even before the immune response starts. And all this while the rest of the immune system remains active.
During an organ transplant, T-cells attack the transplanted organ and so the body rejects it. If the T cells are activated by, for example, an infection or a transplant, they 'remember' it. However, the T-cells are initially activated by myeloid cells. Specific treatment of myeloid cells is, therefore, an elegant way to prevent activation of the T-cell memory against the transplanted organ.
Your weekly innovation overview Every sunday the best articles of the week in your inbox.
Until recently, the focus had been exclusively on suppressing the T-cells with medication, because it was thought that only these T-cells would have a memory function. The Nijmegen Spinoza premium winner Mihai Netea recently discovered that myeloid cells also have a memory function. Mulder and his team then developed a nano-immunotherapy in close collaboration with Netea to program these myeloid cells in the bone marrow. The T cells are then not activated and can still perform the normal immune response against infections and cancer.
For the study, mice were given only 3 injections with the new nano-immunotherapy within a week of a heart transplant. Without further treatment, 75% of the mice still showed no rejection symptoms after 100 days, while in all untreated mice the transplanted hearts were rejected within 10 days.
Mulder: "This technique can increase the success rate of organ transplants, making treatment safer and easier for patients. Because our nanotechnology 'reprograms' the immune system, we also apply this treatment strategy in other diseases in which the immune system plays an important role. We have also achieved promising results for cardiovascular disease in mouse models."
Mulder conducted his research at the University Medical Center of Mount Sinai in New York. In February he was awarded a prestigious Vici grant of 1.5 million euros, among other things for the continuation of this research. In September he started a Precision Medicine research group at the Biomedical Technology department of Eindhoven University of Technology.

The Debate Over Taylor Swift
Billboard Chart
And but, her most efficient scheme may be the surprise she saved for her most ardent fans. None of them seems to have been sent to critics in advance, which meant they were largely ignored in initial evaluations. But despite their relative invisibility and muted debut, they're the greatest songs from her Midnights era hence far. Of course, there have currently been exciting tiny gems for Swifties to enjoy for a single, Midnights came out as Swift turned exactly 12,000 days old, alluding to the numbers about a clock, a present motif in her earlier operate . "[It is] a actual guided tour throughout all the items I tend to hate about myself," she explains.
Sullivan — appearing half joking and half actually despondent — filmed a different video, where he slammed his face into a piano. On this day in 2018, Swift posted a photo of herself rehearsing for her upcoming tour. The "Reputation Stadium Tour" was the last time Swift toured, as she was forced to cancel dates promoting her 2019 album "Lover" due to the coronavirus pandemic. Swift and Harris were dating at the time the song was written and when it was released, even though Swift was seen days later dancing at the Met Gala with Tom Hiddleston, whom she has also been romantically linked with. Kate is extremely talented and one particular of my favorite actresses that I've ever worked with.
That's why Kusko paired the 2009 Swift classic "Enjoy Story" with the this air sign. "Virgos are their personal worst critic and completely embody the protagonist's viewpoint of the song," says Kusko. "Virgos are also some of the ideal people who need to have to give themselves much more grace. They are not the trouble. They are usually the answer."

I mean, ever take a challenging listen to "Mad Woman" and recall all the instances you've been gaslit? "I'm so sick of operating as rapidly as I can, wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man." It is a have to-listen in advance of a salary negotiation. But there's a distinct moment I try to remember Swift definitely seeing me, piercing by way of my soul, laying it bare. It's when I saw her in the "Blank Space" music video, destroying a classic automobile read full article with a golf club outside a luxurious mansion. This was the moment that marked, in my eyes, Swift's transformation from a fantastic pop princess into a real person, with anger and raw emotion and lots of flaws. "Evermore" can have a shoutout here I keep in mind "Cowboy Like Me" was the initially song I considerably place on when I realized my crush had a girlfriend, and "Long Story Short" followed when they broke up.
", and surrenders her vulnerability in "Snow on the Beach". Along with producing partner Jack Antonoff, Swift returned to a slick pop backdrop, finely tuned on the casually strutting "Bejeweled" and biting "Karma," and created it all sound effortless.– M.R. Taylor Swift has already gifted us with a myriad of songs in the final couple of years, what with her re-recorded albums and the arrival of her tenth studio record, 'Midnights'. Her husband, Logan Santos, tells Now.com he's a "Swiftie by default" (and that his favourite album is "Folklore"). Swift rarely speaks about her private life in interviews, instead channeling stories into confessional song lyrics.
This year, extra than any year in modern history, the Midterm Elections will impact our access to basic rights, basic reproductive healthcare, and our capacity to make our government work for us," Swift wrote in a text image. Taylor Swift is taking a break from her on a regular basis scheduled Midnights programming to let fans know how crucial it is to head over to the polls and vote in Tuesday's (Nov. eight) midterm elections. In the singer's Instagram Story, she made a passionate plea to her followers about this election's value and cited all the issues voters have at stake. In the exact same speech, Swift also announced that her newest studio album "Midnights" would be released on October 21, 2022. The song, which clocks in at just more than 10 minutes extended, beat out longtime record holder Don McLean, whose eight-minute track "American Pie" held the prime position for four weeks in 1972.
"They all warned us about occasions like this / They say the road gets challenging and you get lost when you are led by blind faith," she sings in the pre-chorus. In this context, "they" would refer to those who use religion as a purpose to oppose gay rights. In March 2014, the duo took a road trip by way of Big Sur, which Kloss described as "an adventure of a lifetime with my girl." She also shared a photo of a yellow daisy, tagging Swift as the center of the flower ("Now I am your daisy"). "The song 'How You Get the Girl' is a song that I wrote about how you get the girl back if you ruined the relationship somehow and she won't speak to you anymore," Swift told Audacy in 2014. "Style" is ostensibly about Harry Types, whom Swift reportedly dated in late 2012 and early 2013. But the lyrics describe a partnership that evades commitment and clear boundaries, so each folks were romantic with others in their downtime.
Nevertheless, she will not just be touring "Midnights." Named "The Eras Tour," Swift will be singing a medley of the music of her past and present. Ticketmaster was supposed to open up sales for 1.5 million verified Taylor Swift fans last month ahead of common public ticket sales. In 2018, basketball legend Kobe Bryant won an Oscar for animated short film for the film Dear Basketball. (Legendary animator Glen Keane handled that job, as a result winning his personal first Oscar.) Because the film was primarily based on his script, having said that, Bryant shared in the prize. It was the very first time a lot of Oscar watchers became conscious that, hey, a quick-film Oscar seems to be considerably simpler to win than an Oscar in a a lot more competitive category. The Academy Awards for animated and live-action short film have long been afterthoughts in the endless Oscar ceremony.
"Naming a song following a successful country star was a move only Taylor Swift could pull off." BreAnna Kusko, an professional astrologer and psychic medium tells Finest Life that "Tim McGraw" fits completely with Aries. "Aries is the initial sign of the zodiac and has as a great deal to prove in their lives as Taylor did when she released her initially single, 'Tim McGraw,'" she says. The user adds, "So Taylor's most most likely saying here that she at times feels like absolutely everyone about her is conventionally appealing and she's not the 1 men appear to 1st." For those confused about why Taylor Swift would reference a "attractive baby" in "Anti-Hero," there's a excellent explanation. As it turns out, Taylor may possibly have really been referencing an episode of the NBC sitcom 30 Rock.
"@taylorswift13 You are one particular of the greatest loves of my life. TY for loving him," Maya wrote on Twitter in response to the lyric video. Along with the re-recorded version of the song in November 2021, Swift also shared an emotional lyric video which included household pictures and videos supplied by Ronan's mother Maya Thompson. In the wee hours of the evening, 3 hours just after the album's initial release at midnight ET sharp on Oct. 21, the 13-track project became a 20-track a single.
Taylor's romance with Calvin was full of cute PDA moments, and even a handful of award speech shout-outs.But just following celebrating their one particular-year anniversary, Taylor and Calvin's connection ended in June 2016. Although the split seemed amicable at very first, Calvin was none also please about Taylor's rapid rebound with her subsequent really like. The DJ seemingly "snapped" on social media, taking down his tweet saying that their split was totally see it here respectful. From there, Swift was romantically linked to Glee star Cory Monteith and Jake Gyllenhaal in 2010, and Conor Kennedy — son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.— in 2012. She dated yet another celebrity at the tail end of 2012, bringing in the new year with 1 Direction's Harry Designs, but the relationship ended in 2013. In 2015, Swift dated Calvin Harris, a music producer, DJ and singer, although the couple reportedly broke up in June 2016.
But it incorporates some of Swift's most unbelievable songwriting to date, both lyrically and musically. Although the Grammy winner commonly gets her due as a lyricist, she doesn't have a tendency to get credit for getting sonically innovative. But she's repeatedly proved to be ahead of the curve, switching up genres and predicting pop music trends with each new release. 1989 is another album wherein handful of tracks can truly be named "underrated" even the bonus tracks are landmark entries in Swiftie history. (See Saloni's choose for additional discussion.) The Imogen Heap-assisted "Clean" absolutely has fans, but even so, this all-time-great album closer still lives in the shadow of some of her largest-ever singles.
She's even interacted with a handful of other videos of fans recreating the dance as well. '" he recalls of finding out that Swift had seen what he'd been functioning on. Could this be an Easter egg that she's lastly going on tour again?
I am suspicious of some of the vault tracks — I do not completely believe that she's recording them specifically as they have been written all those years ago. At the Disco's "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," but in an alternate universe where they in no way even made it to the wedding for the reason that the prospective bride was "fucked in the head," or so the cynics mentioned. Swift, a hopeless romantic, loves to establish classic literary and theatrical themes — think "Love Story" — but at times things just don't work out. And this mournful track about a fancy proposal gone very wrong is all sorts of emo — even if it's wealthy-people emo.

Hedge fund sponsors (i.e., the organizer(s) of the hedge fund) based outside the United States are usually surprised and delighted to learn about the "light touch" of U.S. regulation and low costs associated with forming a U.S. hedge fund. The United States is a tax haven for foreigners. Learn More About U.S. Incubator Hedge Funds and Starting a U.S. Hedge Fund The best news of all is that U.S. hedge funds can be marketed just like retail funds as a result of a recent law change. There is no longer a ban on advertising. Learn More About Raising Capital for a Hedge Fund This puts the United States at the top of the list as one of the best countries for hedge funds.

Foreign Owned U.S. Disregarded Entities Recently the U.S. Treasury issued regulations to require foreign-owned, single member U.S. limited liability companies (SMLLC) to disclose ownership to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The new regulations require the collection and data and do not impose a tax. The rules issued under Internal Revenue Code Section 6038A require foreign-owned SMLLCs to file Form 5472. Form 5472 is required when a single non-US entity or individual owns 25% or more of a U.S. corporation. The regulations are effective as of December 13, 2016. However, the Form 5472 portion of the regulations applies to taxable years of foreign-owned disregarded U.S. entities beginning after December 31, 2016 and ending on or after December 13, 2017. If a foreign-owned disregarded U.S. entity terminates before December 13, 2017, the U.S. entity would not need to file a 2017 Form 5472. Under the rules, these SMLLCs are treated as "corporations" for purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 6038A. The penalty for failure to file Form 5472 is $10,000 per year and filing a substantially incomplete Form 5472 constitutes a failure to file with the result that the penalty can be imposed. Therefore filing the form but omitting information is viewed as a failure to file. Incremental penalties of $10,000 are imposed if the failure to file continues past 90 days after notification is sent by the IRS--there is no ceiling on the total penalty amount.
This notwithstanding, the U.S. remains a tax haven - see See World's Favorite New Tax Haven Is the United States. The United States has long been viewed as a tax haven for foreigners. While the United States requires foreign countries to report financial account information (i.e., under FACTA) about U.S. persons to the IRS, it provides nothing in return. The United States also refuses to sign on to the Common Standard on Reporting. U.S. financial institutions report to the IRS bank deposit interest payments paid to nonresident individuals.
U.S. SEC Offshore Alert The U.S. SEC's 134-page report published in 2003--The Implications of the Growth of Hedge Funds--presents the status of the hedge fund industry as viewed in the United States. What is interesting about this SEC Report is that articles and web content authored by our very own hedge fund attorney Hannah Terhune, JD, LLM (Taxation) (when she was the Chief and only Attorney at GreenCompany.com) on offshore hedge funds was cited on page 10 of the U.S. SEC Report as providing information the SEC Staff found to be valuable in its understanding of the hedge fund industry. For a decade, hedge fund attorney Hannah Terhune has been counted on by the U.S. government and hedge fund organizers worldwide as a source of cutting edge and practical information on hedge fund formations.
You will see from this web site that we supply more information about hedge funds than most books do on the subject. It's great to see that Hannah Terhune's expertise is appreciated by the SEC! This is quite a coup for Hannah, and provides one more piece of evidence as to how she can help you. You can reach her today at hterhune@capitalmanagementservicesgroup.com or at +1 (307) 413-2212 or on Skype at: CapitalManagementServicesGroup.

Well, what a lovely Saturday... the sun is shining and I have managed to get my washing out on the line, blowing in the wind... Bathroom is cleaned top to bottom, and now I am getting ready to do a spot of crafting!
This is a card that made at this month card class. I love the simplicity and cleanliness of this card. It's so versatile it could be made for any occasion, and I love how the striped embossing turned out. Sometimes when you make white on white cards, they can appear to be too plain and lost on a mantle piece until you look at them close up - do you know what I mean? But with this card, it has texture that catches the light and makes it even more stunning, that's why I like it so much!
Remember - there is only a short time left to order from the gorgeous and stunning items from the Spring Mini Catalogue as the promotion finishes on the 30th April 2012, and you won't be able to buy them after that.
I'd be delighted to order any of these items for you and you can have them delivered to your address in the UK or if you're local to me, you can collect. I'm committed to providing excellent customer service and am always happy to offer help and advice. To place your order, just send me an email or give me a call on 07828 149666. And don't forget to add a free pack of designer paper if your order is £45 or more (Offer limited to one pack per qualifying order - click here for details).
Glad you getting some "me" time this weekend. Love this card sometimes less is more.
Oh Lynney I LOVE this, it's just beautiful, definitely my sort of card - very CAS!
I am a great fan of white on white too and your card is beautiful. Well done!
Your card is very beautiful! I love the simplicity of it. TFS!
Oh wow, so many lovely comments - thank you so much, and glad you all love the card!
