One day you tell us to drink milk, lots of milk so that are bones are strong and healthy. I'm sorry I believe I heard something about "drinking too much milk is bad for our bones?" What? This type of stuff goes on and on and I for one am sick of it.
I already wrote an essay in my blog about anti-anxiety pills for anxious people are going to give us, most probably, Alzheimer's disease. What a great idea to tell someone who is anxious to begin with, without alternative ideas. I have anxiety issues, I have no problem revealing that and when my psychiatrist told me, albeit rather nervously, about this new study, she gave me a handout of a copy of the study.
Maybe that would have been handled better if this had begun in the beginning of the session and discussed with alternatives. What happened after being told? Major anxiety. After processing this new information, if indeed it is true, I need to think of quality of life and choices. But, that is something we should have talked about BEFORE those five sheets of paper were handed to my sweaty palms.
Do we need to know every simple thing at every minute of every hour of every day? Some of you want to know, some of us don't. Yes, I know freedom of speech but what about something in the middle? I don't want to know everything, every minute in every detail. Plus, the media exploits serious events, I truly can't handle it. That is why I choose NOT to watch the news at night because there is enough madness, violence, gore and blood in the world that I don't want to be reminded of it before I TRY to go to sleep. Do you understand?
All I'm asking is for is for you to think and be considerate. Think before you speak? Do complete research before you announce news like its one of the Entertainment Shows on television. At least they are honest, their intent is to entertain.
What you are doing is tormenting people. Do this, no do that. So now, when we get anxious, we have to think twice before we take an anti-anxiety pill because for years it has been the solution to so many of our problems, now we live in fear, choosing quality of life vs. quantity of life. Please, just think about it.
Here it is, free style writing the title: three words that came to mind and now I am just typing without thinking about it or looking at/correcting it. I am not reading sentence by sentence I am considering this as a writing exercise. I've heard writers do this twice a day but I don't think I have the fortitude for that. Besides, I am getting really tired and loopy and God knows what will be on this page when I finish.
prancing in their kilts, Mrs. Kelly probably planning her St. Patrick's day party already. I have known two wonen of Irish descent and we don't mix well, I wonder why.I don't think it's a religious thing at all, maybe our astrological signs are so differente. But, the two women have similar traits , coldness, showing no emotion, blank. Just a coincidence.
Everyone knows I wear my heart on my sleeve, the complete opposite of that and sometimes I really need to shut up. I say too much lately and I need to control my mouth. Lately words come out that I used to edit and censore and for a few months I'm slipping, something to work on like mindful meditation twice a week.
of my relationship with my daughter that was so hard for so many years. My son, is as always sweet and lovable.
I worry about my mother and think about bad things too much, Ebola and bad diseases and worrying about things I have no control over, what's the use of worrying if you haven o control? Exactly, useless. Stop.
I want to invent something, sell a script, write a book, try to remember things with attention to detail. Like names, I will ay it outloud several times or in my head. I will make a list and write about 2014 as it comes to an end. And we will say, as we do every year, 2014 was a horrible year and that next year 2015 will be much better. Truthfully, we've been saying that for years. Here's hoping.
In the past there were groups on favorite colors with deadlines and stress. This Happy Yellow Friday is for anyone who loves the color yellow like I do. Once a week, on Fridays I will post something that has yellow in it.
Feel free to post photos you like with yellow in it here too. I do this at the very start of Winter which really makes me Blue.
…And You Thought I Was Anxious Before??
Telling anxious patients that their anti anxiety meds are going to probably give them Alzheimers disease in the future is really not the way to go. I mean it, I should know, I am a patient that suffers from anxiety and I really don't want to hear this, it's making me even MORE anxious. Now I can't use my medication? What's the point? You can't take away medication without substitution? Don't tell us this without coming up with a different plan at the same time.
Don't tell me there is a link and then say good-bye, see you in two weeks. That is all sorts of wrong. Telling us that anti anxiety meds are going to give us Alzheimer's disease in the future is like handing over loaded guns and hundreds of dangerous pills to someone threatening suicide.
Apparently, there's this new article out that people are getting anxious about, you can feel the tremors in the air, a cup of wiggling orange jello in a steel cup.
The psychiatrists, all over, are desperately copying the article that says the anti-anxiety medicines are strongly linked to gettng Alzheimers disease. Do you think that information is something that we need to hear without a …But…Or we will try…..? We come to you, worried and afraid and we fear pain, illness, madness, flying on planes or driving and getting lost and…the list continues and is different for everyone.
a professor at college and sent me some research that the study is completely inconclusive. Hmmm. That sounds good but should I believe him? Not yet. Only when I hear it from MY doctor will I feel more relaxed.By the way, I think my psychiatrist was anxious about this study as well, I thought of that today. I did not get a sense of calmness from her at all. I am going to ask her some day.
As usual, I've decided to cut my prescription in half (my doctors are not fond of me self-prescribing) but hey, in this case I think it's perfectly reasonable. I didn't go cold turkey and I added a Benadryl. In good faith I sent all this information in an email to my lovely psychiatrist. She is a goddess.
and I haven't needed it for a while. However, I have been practicing mindful meditation and now I will commit to doing it twice a day.
So, before we all panic, let's think of this as a new beginning. I'm not going to lie I feel the first rumblings in my stomach, that's where it starts for me. I stop typing, I take three deep, long breaths to calm myself down. I didn't open a prescription bottle that has little orange pills in it. I am trying to say good-bye to you, Xanax, even though I will probably will miss you but I will feel cleaner and stronger without you. I hope.
Call us toll–free anytime day or night at 1.800.272.3900.
I refuse to believe that in the next few days snow is in the forecast. Yes, I am in the ultimate denial stage. I've heard from multiple sources that the temperature is going to drop quickly and that the predicted heavy rain will fall and turn into snow. Yes, SNOW.
I once went on a trip to visit my grandparents with my dad in Vienna, Austria. ( Remember we always had free airline tickets.) Do I remember the time I spent with my grandparents? Honestly, no.I remember that my Opa was grumpy but he did love me best and Oma made incredible, moist schnitzel, the best I've had in my entire life. Naturally, I remembered food. I also remembered the desserts that my dad and I shared. Both of us had the worst sweet addiction in the world.
I can't remember what I had for dinner last night but I do remember desserts I have had when I was a teenager. On that trip to Vienna we had a red currant pie that when you took a bite the currants would explode in your mouth. I've looked, searching for something similar now for forty years. The other dessert we called "The Swan" filled with vanilla cream, a delicate white meringue, shaped into a swan, covered in aluminum to take home.
Many years later we would look at each other and just say.."remember the swan?" My father is long deceased but when I think of these moments that we shared together they make me feel close to him. I have not disappointed him in my pursuit of sweets. In fact, I have carried that trait on to my now grown-up children.
My daughter is a chocolate fan, definitely inherited from her dad's side of the family. It's chocolate, dark chocolate and nothing else. It could be ice cream or cake but it has to be chocolate, once in a while they will have coffee mixed in but that's all.
Ah, but my son comes from my side of the family with the love of fruit, custard tarts, crème brûlée and all things vanilla. Sure, we won't turn down a brownie but our main focus is definitely NOT on chocolate, just the opposite. We like pear tarts and apple crumbles, strawberry fruit tarts with vanilla custard, blueberry pies and for me, anything with coconut or lemon.
Dessert makes a sad day or a bad day happier. It doesn't have to be big, and it doesn't have to be a large serving but in our family it does indeed have to exist. My husband and I, since the kids are in college, have a new ritual in the evening: after dinner and cleaning up, working/writing for a while around 8:30 we start to watch television on our bed. Our dog, Lexi is always at our feet. A half hour goes by and instinctively we look at each other and smile.
We continue watching our show, we eat our desserts slowly (well, I do) and that makes the world a little brighter. Compared to some people it's not a big deal but for us it's not only enough, it's heavenly sweet.
In memory of my dad.
look up, not down, joy!
bending to the force of the wind, back and forward, soon stood upright again when the storm had passed.
Moral of Aesops Fable: Obscurity often brings security.
Nobody felt safe, we knew the world had changed and the power of us poppies were strengthened by the support of having one another. Sometimes, close friends would whisper their fears amongst themselves but mostly, we walked with our heads lowered, burrowed in heavy winter jackets as if their jackets were shields, our hoods covering our faces, of course they were. We hid beneath as many layers as we possibly could because deep inside we are scared to death, our new reality. We couldn't lie, we were all in this together and that brought comfort to us.
Even when we didn't watch the news or read the papers, the news would slip out like oily black ink and it would stain our petals, our brains and those images never, ever would go away. Fear was imprinted on our souls and there was nothing we could do to forget what we had seen or heard.
It was the devil's handshake, some people called it, those who thought they knew better or pretended that they weren't afraid, those boasting about how much money they had, their egos, over-inflated, grown-up bullies.
a child, an elder grandmother, sweet white puppies. There was no excuse for that, the fat cow could not ever explain that away even if anyone wanted to listen but nobody did. Her justice will come in her own way, in tepid waters of muddy grass, sloshing through messy brown mud endlessly, never finding her way back. Homeless. Alone. Thinking she was smarter, because of her size and depth, stronger, more powerful than everyone else. All bluster, self-deprecating to hide the cruel reality of knowing not who she really was but how others truly saw her.
yellow, and blue, laughing together, the sound of sweet angels in a club, chirpy birds were invited but the club had no room for her.
The tables had turned, it taken a long time but eventually karma had caught up. Our soft willows, loose wildflowers, dancing in the wind, singing songs, perhaps not in harmony, but with delight and passion, having fun, we felt sorry for that big old maid, that over-critical stump.
Alone, all alone in the middle of the forest, away from everyone else, while the rest of us could bend with the wind, smile at the sunshine with the lovely wind and whistles as a mere game of promise and friendship and love.
We were all friends, together, except for Her, that snobby tree, who criticized everybody, yet never looked inside her rotten, ugly, stump, its decay on the inside visible to those outside, its scent slowly, insidiously, reeking of week old trash, of judgment, of her.
that kept us together, happy. We trusted one another.
We were one united bunch of laughing flowers,our heads gloriously pointed to sun. The old, big tree stump, callous and mean, sat in shambles on the ground, broken, alone. we walked over its pieces and never looked back.When it rained all of us just bent a little lower and in the distance you could hear us not breaking but singing, quiet songs, happy songs in unison.
When our kids come home from college for a visit, suddenly our kitchen is bursting with the smell of my freshly baked banana bread with raisins and chocolate chips, soon afterwards dark chocolate brownies are left to cool waiting for me to slather on the thick, creamy dark chocolate frosting.
Their dad and I have both gone to the supermarket to stock up on their favorite foods, they could stay four weeks, even though they are only here for four days or is it one day? It doesn't matter. We pack the leftovers so the kids can take them to share with their friends.
Black Raspberry Chip, and Chocolate, Chocolate Chip. We also have Mango Sorbet, Blood Orange Sorbet and Haagen Daas' Pistachio ice cream (which to me, is a great disappointment, vanilla with a couple of shelled pistachio nuts in it. I won't buy it again.) Any suggestions of another brand of pistachio ice cream?
We have rainbow cookies, molasses cookies.
BOTH of my grown-up children came home a day early as a surprise and I consider myself deeply blessed. I am truly grateful to be able to have one night together with my whole family, where we eat will be up to them, with our approval, and bound by price range and affordability.
Tonight, we will eat leftovers with no complaints and if there are complaints, that's okay, the only other option is…no other option. I do regret how lenient we were with our children when they were small. I felt like a short order cook, a grilled cheese for one, spaghetti with meatballs for the other….the things you learn in hindsight.
We all make mistakes as parents but if that's the worst mistake we made then I think we did pretty well. We have super nice, polite kind, kids, independent, loving, street smart and compassionate. What more could a mother and a father want? NOTHING.
Are they perfect? No. Are we? Heck no. Do we wish they would change certain things? Sometimes. No, I am NOT going to argue with you about this!! (you- know -who) I know that they wish the same for us. We're a family, we all need to work together. Every single one of us needs to learn how to compromise and accept not always being right. Accepting someone's difference is harder than deciding to disagree. Respect another person's position without judgment. Try.
What would you rather be, a very old friend asked me thirty years ago, right or at peace?
My answer thirty years ago was" right," I changed my answer in the years to come. The kids will learn that, in time. Or, they won't. That is entirely up to them. It took me a long time to see it, peace wins for me now, every single time.
We all grow-up, we make mistakes, we fall down, we get up and we fall down again. Children, like adults, learn, from their mistakes. Let them make them.
When our kids went back to school a few days ago my husband and I went right back to eating very simple meals. Scrambled eggs with cheese and toast, pasta with meat sauce, home-made pea soup, chunky with carrots, ham, spices and a salad and french bread. A roasted chicken, rice and freshly cut vegetables with a yogurt dill sauce. After dinner, we often go upstairs, lie on our bed, watch our television set with a small (ok, medium) bowl of ice cream in our hands (with rainbow-colored sprinkles for me) to watch the Jimmy Fallon show from the night before. A simpler life, quieter, we accept what we have, what we can't change and that's okay. Love what you have today, understand and accept that you will see your children less, yesterday is gone and we don't know what the future will bring.
Enjoy the moment. Be Thankful. Breathe.
Give. Me. The. Shot. The Vaccine. I want it. I want it NOW. No, not in a few minutes, not in a month or two. I can't wait another second. Find someone, someone with authority to approve it. I can't beg or grovel anymore. I know the kids' vaccination exists, I know you have it in your back pediatric room. Stick it to me. In my arm or in my behind, just do it. Trust me, I will not cry, unless the tears are of relief.
The only pediatrician I know to have a kind and open heart is Dr. Batman, he thinks outside the box, he cares. No, he was not my children's pediatrician at the big Medical Group not far from NYC but that's okay. We called him Batman when my children were little, he had all kinds of Batman gear and toys in his office, every time he saw us he smiled. Even when my daughter, wearing her sweet pink dress, white tights and black shiny shoes kicked him in his shin, he was nice. I was mortified.
It was one of those horrific mother moments. I wanted to move to another country or enroll my daughter in juvenile hall but I made her write an apology note at home and more importantly I marched her back in and made her give it to him. Lesson learned.
I'm starting a revolution, a Vaccinate Eppiglottitis revoution. WHY can't we have it. "Because" is NOT an answer. "Because it's just for kids does NOT HELP.
Spell it out. Why are you torturing so many thousands of people every day and leaving them at risk of dying? Of their throats swelling up, unable to breathe, causing them the worst pain that they have ever had? Trust me, giving birth was like a walk in the park compared to this.
I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, well, maybe one or two.
We deserve an answer. All of us who have had Eppiglottitis deserve an answer and "no" and "Cuz" is not acceptable anymore. Why can't we use the children's vaccination in some way to help us adults that are suffering, many times over, with this life threatening illness?
Please find out we need to know, doctors and hospitals and The American Medical Association needs to know. We deserve an answer. It's our right. Plus, we are begging and we are at your mercy. Ok?

Last night I was reading Carrots'N'Cake and she mentioned a pumpkin smoothie in one of her older blog posts. I pinned the image on Pinterest because it sounded so good!
Today after CrossFit I was ravenous and really wanted to get some good protein in. I immediately thought of this smoothie. I paired it with Amy's Gluten-free, Vegan Tofu Breakfast Burrito and it was such a great meal. I think I will definitely be held over until I get off work at 5.
Added 1 tbsp of chia seeds today...yum!

Marq Review (Formerly Lucidpress)
For those that need an easy to use online publishing software, Lucidpress is a good alternative to professional DTP software. Especially for schools, universities and other educational institutions, Lucidpress offers a simple publishing solution that works on both Mac and PC. It's definitely not suitable for professional publishing and complex layouts though.
Easy to use desktop publisher
Lots of professional templates
Easy to colloborate as a team
Good for branding
Not as powerful as Adobe InDesign
Some InDesign imports don't work well
Lacks professional desktop publishing features
Marq (formerly Lucidpress) is an online desktop publishing software for creating books, brochures, magazines, advertisements, flyers and more.
Marq was previously known as Lucidpress which also makes the popular diagramming software Lucidchart but rebranded as Marq in 2022.
We chose Marq as one of the best alternatives to Microsoft Publisher for Mac and in this review we take a closer look at what it can do.
Although it can't compete with professional graphic design software like Adobe InDesign, Marq is a lot simpler and cheaper.
However with Adobe offering generous discounts of 60% on the entire Creative Cloud suite, the cost advantage is narrowing.
What is Marq?
What Is Marq Used For?
Marq Features
Is Marq Really Free?
Is Marq Compatible With Publisher?
Marq vs InDesign
Marq Pricing
Marq brands itself as a "brand templating solution" but is basically an online desktop publishing software that's aimed at those without much DTP knowledge.
Marq is cloud based so there's nothing to install on your Mac or Windows PC.
Marq is made by the makers of Lucidchart which is a powerful online diagramming tool and one of most popular alternatives to Visio on a Mac.
Marq claims to be used by over 8 million users including large enterprises such as John Hopkins, Fidelity and EMI Health.
Marq can be used for any kind of online or offline publication but is particularly popular with school districts for educational purposes and non-profits for making things like flyers, newsletters and other publicity.
This is partly because Marq is one of the few publishing apps to be integrated with G Suite and Classroom.
Since it's cloud based, Marq works on any computer including those that don't have the specs to run Adobe InDesign or Creative Cloud.
This also makes Marq popular with charities, non-profits and businesses that need to create newsletters, brochures, reports, presentations and more.
Some of the features that stand out in Marq are:
An easy to use interface
Drag and drop functionality
Full text control
High-quality templates
Easy collaboration and sharing with colleagues
Great for brand building
InDesign import tool
If you're using it for branding, Marq is very good at making sure your brand logo and other features are standardized across publicity material.
Marq allows you to drag and drop textboxes and images, crop images, choose different fonts and upload your own.
You can drag and drop logos, symbols and other branding and Marq always ensures that everything is in proportion.
As well as all the standard templates for magazines, books, flyers, postcards and more, you can also create interactive online documents. You can also insert multimedia into your content such as YouTube videos.
There's no lack of professional DTP tools in Marq including layers, advanced text controls, text box reflowing, typesetting features and a decent choice of templates.
One of the things we like about Marq products is that they make it very easy to collaborate with others on projects.
So it's very easy for an editorial team to work on the same document wherever they are in the world. Collaborators can chat, make edits and leave comments in the main interface.
Everything you create is saved on Marq's servers so there's no risk of losing anything but you can also save to Dropbox.
For schools, there's useful integration with G Suite and Clasrooms.
The free version of Marq is very basic and limited to three pages and three documents so it's not suitable for professional use.
You can always use the free version of Marq to put together a sample document and then subscribe if you're happy with the results.
However, if you're a student or educator, Marq is free to use with an Educational Account.
If you're looking for a free desktop publishing software, we also suggest looking at Scribus.
Marq cannot import Microsoft Publisher .pub files but you can export to PDF and other formats which can be imported into Publisher.
If you need to regularly import and export MS Publisher files though, then Marq isn't a good idea.
There are also other ways to open Microsoft Publisher files on a Mac.
Although Marq can import Adobe InDesign (IDML) files, it can't compare with a professional desktop publishing program like Adobe InDesign.
InDesign is an industry standard design tool aimed at professional and graphic designers that need to create complex layouts.
Marq has nothing like the bells and whistles of a pro publishing tool like InDesign. It's a simple online publishing tool which is aimed at beginners and those without DTP skills.
In general, we also wouldn't recommend using an online tool for handling layouts through a browser as it's much slower than on a desktop.
The Marq InDesign import tool also isn't perfect. Often when you upload a file, there will be red triangles indicating that information is missing.
The main problem is because InDesign and Marq interpret certain layers and formatting differently so your InDesign document often won't look the same when it's imported into Marq.
For example, you will need to upload the InDesign fonts separately for example and any missing images.
The spacing parameters are also different in Marq vs InDesign which can be confusing. Expanding text boxes and finding layers in Marq after an IDML file has been imported can also be difficult.
Note that Marq can also only import in IDML format – it doesn't support Adobe's proprietary INDD format.
Marq also doesn't have material resources like the incredible Adobe Stock which gives you access to millions of professional photos and multimedia to create truly stunning results.
As mentioned, the free version of Marq is only really suitable for testing the product as it is limited to 3 documents and 3 pages.
Pricing plans for Marq start at $8 per month and the Team version starting at $10 per month for a maximum of 3 users. There is also Business pricing beyond this.
Marq also offers a Print pricing service where you can order printed versions of your documents made in Marq
Pricing is based on document type, size and quantity.

You know all those fancy gaming tables that the most dedicated of board-gamers have? The ones that are the cost of a small car and the size of a horse's coffin? I always wondered why they had a recessed playing area – it seemed uncomfortable and awkward, like playing poker on a pool table. It looked like you'd need to be constantly reaching down into a pit of crumbs and sorrow to engage in even the most perfunctory way with the game you were playing.
I don't wonder about the recessed area any more.
I get the cube part. Not sure where the quest is.
Cube Quest is a likeable game but if you play it on a normal dining table you'll spend as much time searching the floor for game pieces as you do taking part in the fun. It's a two player dueling game that combines physical position with all the precision of a game of pool. You'll find yourself orbiting around the table, examining each cube in exquisite detail for the best angle of attack. If you're playing on a flat surface you'll also find yourselves positioning yourself opposite your opponent like you were a nervous goalie. You spend considerable time and energy hoping to catch a cube before it and everything around it goes ricocheting under an appliance. That could be extremely aggravating were it not for the fact you'll most likely be laughing like an idiot when you're trying to reclaim it. Cube Quest is a game where schadenfreude, humiliation, and karmic balancing all come together and entwine repeatedly over the course of ten or so minutes.
As part of the game you lay out three neoprene mats to represent the territory of battle. There are two castles on opposite ends of the terrain, and a wall in the middle that represents where our territory becomes their territory, and vice versa. Then each player takes a handful of cubes, either the 'standard army' or a bespoke army built up from a point allowance.
Your king has to be somewhere in the castle.
Your pieces have to be somewhere in your territory.
And that's it! Everything else is your own little sandbox – you can build cubes, or towers, or formations. You can distribute your troops wildly around your terrain, or clump them up. You can focus on dispersal – creating a loose-knit web of troops that contains no obvious point of maximum leverage. Or you can build walls that create juicy targets but have the heavy inevitably of physics behind them. And if you have any sense at all, you'll be doing that behind a partition wall so neither player knows what the other is constructing.
I'm not going to pretend that you're going to be doing anything particularly clever here – there are fundamental limits to how inventive you can be with cubes and the laws of momentum. It's not a deeply expressive system but it's fun nonetheless. You can have a tight regiment that makes frontal attack useless. Or maybe you want to put your toughest fighters up and front, with your grunts serving as shield and arrow fodder. Maybe you want a line of cubes at the back to absorb any impact against your king?
Maybe you want something a little more inventive?
Or maybe you fancy the kind of thing that's going to limit your ability to attack, but will seriously hamper any chance your opponent has to knock your king off the mat.
What are you cooking up over there?
… without any idea of what your opponent is building. This creates a great revelatory moment of anticipation. You lift the box to reveal the formations that had hitherto been hidden and then you stare aghast at the horrors your opponent has arrayed before them.
That's disappointing. Where's the heart?
Doing it this way means that you can't rely on the situational knowledge that comes from seeing a defense being constructed. That avoids the 'rock paper scissors' style of reactive tailoring, and speeds up the whole process considerably. Technically this is part of 'advanced play' but you really should do it from game one if you want to get the best out of the box.
Can you get your fingers in there? Asking for a friend.
Once you're both ready you start the battle, each player in turn choosing a cube and flicking it against the enemy forces hoping to knock the king off the map.
Each cube type has a different flavour to play – some are more resilient than others, some more agile, and some have special magical powers that can be spent when convenient.
Oh, I was hoping for something more dramatic.
The resilience of cubes is handled via the faces. Many of these have 'shadowed' sides – when one of your cubes falls into enemy territory with its shadow side up, it is 'captured'. You roll that cube, and if a shadow side comes up again it's discarded back to the box. Otherwise it's 'released' and you get it back, placing it in your castle for future deployment. If it leaves the mat as part of its movement, it's gone forever. All you can do is wave goodbye as your little soldier sails away and off the opposite side of the playing area without hitting anything on the journey. Your grunts have more shadowed sides, which means they're fragile and flimsy – when they fall into enemy territory you've got a good chance of losing them. Strikers have only one side in shadow, so when they get sent into battle they're probably going to survive. Even if they don't you've got a good chance they'll be released when you roll them. You don't have to worry about shadow sides in your own territory which creates an instant bifurcation of responsibilities and weighted roles. Strikers are for attacking, grunts are for defending.
And sometimes you'll fail to find the correct balance between force and precision – your assault might end up setting your opponent up for a painful counter-attack.
But not *much* more, it seems.
It might seem like all you need to do is flick as hard as you can and eventually someone will win, but that's the same philosophy behind 'Hit the cue ball as hard as you can and it'll be fine' in a game of snooker. Cube Quest is a game of positional advantage, and that advantage will be yours, or it will be your opponent's. Force can be a useful tool, but it's difficult to make use of it without sending your own troops rolling cheerfully to their doom. There are few experiences quite so disheartening as setting up the perfect attack only to find your striker sail into the air and off the edge of the table. Especially knowing as it happens that you've just ceded the advantage of position to your opponent.
In games like this, if you're not the hunter, then you're the hunted.
I can't emphasise enough how often the tension between the competing forces of power and precision will be your undoing. Many times you'll flick only to find that last minute hesitation does little more than cause it to 'floop' over with all the enthusiasm of a sleeping dog in the sun. Other times you'll put just a little too much strength behind the attack, and it'll go wide or end up doing collateral damage to your own positioning. Friendly fire is common, and if your own attack knocks your cubes to the shadow side they're just as captured as they would be if your enemy had done it. An over-zealous attack might send your target and your own cube off the side of the mat to their shared death. Sometimes all you'll do is knock three or so of your own cubes out of play, especially when defending against an attack in tricky situations. Often you'll only end up doing more harm than good, and you can easily knock your own soldiers out of play with a ham-handed flick of the wrong cube in the wrong way.
The great thing about all of this though is everything is so quick and easy to set up and play that you can roll through a five games in a half-hour. Once you knock a king off the mat you shake hands, gather up your forces, and then try again. And again. And again. You can keep doing it until you become bored, and the short play-time means that you'll never have over-committed your enthusiasm.
Once you've mastered the basic game, you can take advantage of the other cubes you can use in your armies.
Helms can be flicked twice per turn, provided they end their first flick in your territory. Skulks can go 'into hiding' when they enter an enemy's territory, being placed on the map in an advantageous position at a later turn. Healers can be traded in to recover dead troops, and the freeze cube can be balanced on top of other cubes to prevent them being flicked.
If you want that freeze cube gone, you're going to have to focus friendly fire on your own troops until it is knocked off. As long as a cube is pinned by a freeze cube, it can't do anything of value. Clumping troops together is good defensive strategy, but it might be your undoing if someone can lock them down, forcing you to invest your own turns into undoing the curse. On the other hand, it can be a fixed defensive structure you can take advantage of yourself if you want to be clever about it. You can turn your opponent's aggression into your own salvation.
Unfortunately, that's pretty much the only opportunity you get to be clever, because for all its frantic fun Cube Quest is a very limited experience. For one thing, the range of troops on offer is disappointingly small. You can tell just by opening the box that it's going to need a meaty expansion pack to bring out its best. At the time of writing no such expansion is available. I'd go as far as to say that really it's a prototype of a game that managed to get a big-box release. There is so much potential in the design that the missed opportunities are palpable. What about siege engine cubes? What about different shapes? What about different weight and composition cubes? What about physical terrain? You could wring a lot of genuinely interesting gameplay out of this by exploiting the physicality of the design without even worrying about layering new rules in. Metal cubes! Magnets! Irregularly shaped pieces!
It's really not enough to sustain the game beyond a handful of skirmishes. Even the asymmetrical armies you can build from a point budget don't have the interesting interplay that would be needed to take advantage of the idea. In fact I'd go so far as to say there is no meaningful interplay at all.
On top of this you have to layer the turn based system which removes all the real tension from play. You flick a cube, then they flick a cube, then you flick a cube. There's very little peril, and no real reason other than positional redundancy to attack with more than one cube at a time. It means that instead of battles being fraught and exciting they're more like a half-hearted tug of war that never really gets going. You can easily house-rule this away though – I recommend 'one flick plus one extra per cube in the enemy territory'. That would allow players to set up interesting chains and flanking manoeuvres, and add a real sense of danger when you cede control of play to your opponent. It makes play more interestingly strategic without much of an increase in rules complexity.
Cube Quest borrows its physical metaphors from pool or snooker. It has though managed to miss out on the key element that makes these games fun and interesting – the momentum of play which creates tactical flexibility. It nails the unreliability of physical placement within spatial constraints, but manages to miss the larger point. If a game's going to be fun over the long term it has to have opportunities for interesting decisions and the execution of strategy. The decisions in Cube Quest are interesting for a while but you soon realise that you only ever paddle in the shallowest waters of the design space. It places most of the burden of fun on the muscle-decision of physical interaction. That's fine but if you're going to do that you need to make sure the rules bring out the best in that kind of play. Football is interesting (to some people) because a team can take possession and use that possession to get the most out of formations and positional roles. It would be a weaker game if one team kicked the ball, and then the other kicked the ball. That's what we've got here.
The final issue is that the components are just a bit – shonky. The mats need to be stored rolled up like olde-timey scrolls, and when they're rolled out they don't sit fully flat on the table. In a more interesting game with terrain and scenery that might have been cool, On a playing surface that is otherwise designed to be symmetrical it's a problem that interferes with the physics of play. I have, on occasion, seen a cube that was destined for the grave saved by the curling edge of the mat. Again, you can house-rule a satisfying solution to these occasional annoyances but you really shouldn't have to. The cubes too feel cheap, and the faces start to peel off after only a few games. It doesn't interfere with play, but it does feel like you might have bought the pound-shop knock-off of a game instead of the thing proper. That's an impression forcefully underscored by the fact the neoprene map segments stink like the cheap mouse-mat you'd buy from a dodgy trader working an open-air market stall.
I've mentioned several times you can fix (most of) these issues yourself – it's a game that is extremely amenable to modification since the rules are very succinct and most of the play is physical. There's nothing to stop you adding your own scenery from anything you find around the house. You can add in your own shapes – throw in random meeple, pandemic disease cubes. Hell, throw in a Rubik's cube and see what happens. You can hang a lot off of the frame of Cube Quest.
However, I'm not a believer that we should review a game in the form it could be with your own modifications. We review the game as it comes out of the box. While that game is certainly possessed of moments of great enjoyment it has a trajectory of fun over time that follows the curve of one of its flicked cubes. It begins strongly, loses speed rapidly, and then eventually plummets off the edge of a table and under the fridge, never to be seen again.

COVID-19 Messaging: 5 Key Considerations
Ad Council
Dateline: New York, NY
COVID-19 has challenged all of us to be exceptionally quick and focused with our communications. Fortunately, experts across industries have never been more generous with sharing insights into the best ways to communicate to audiences about how to keep themselves and others safe.
I recently tuned into OpenIDEO's webinar on communication and behavior change during the time of COVID-19, where experts across tech and philanthropy shared insights based on the following question: "How might we rapidly inform and empower communities around the world to stay safe and healthy during the COVID-19 outbreak?"
The webinar introduced and validated some key messaging tips that resonated with my experience working as a strategist at the Ad Council and as someone with a background in public health. Below are my top five takeaways that all communicators should consider when crafting messages related to COVID-19.
1. Understand a person's emotional arc and then nudge them toward a more positive experience.
When COVID-19 first became a prominent threat to Americans, people initially experienced inward-focused concerns—fear for themselves and their inner circle—as evidenced by the panic buying of toilet paper and hand sanitizer. However, over time, as people started to become more comfortable with the new reality of social distancing, they shifted from looking inward to looking outward to consider how they could help and support others. This is where we've seen the emergence of countless stories of kindness that give us hope and make us feel more united. As Americans become more hopeful and less worried as they settle into their "new normal," it may be an opportune time to help edge them towards behaviors that support others.
2. Encourage people to do meaningful things actively.
Most COVID-19 related messages have focused on passive actions, like staying home. However, people want to feel like they're actively doing something in order to feel fulfilled. And helping is one of the most effective ways to give people a sense of agency and purpose. Some brands, like Lowe's, have tapped into this desire to help by giving their consumers ways to express gratitude from home. This new app also empowers homebound users to help track the spread of COVID-19 simply by logging how they feel daily, even if unrelated to COVID-19 symptoms.
A post shared by Lowe's Home Improvement (@loweshomeimprovement) on Apr 9, 2020 at 2:20pm PDT
3. Say less, say it from the heart, and emphasize shared humanity.
COVID-19 may be scary and complex, but in New York state, Governor Andrew Cuomo is a great model for how to effectively communicate about protecting yourself and others. His messages are simple, they express empathy, and in talking about his brother who was battling COVID-19, he demonstrated shared humanity by emphasizing what flattening the curve means for his family and what it means for us all.
4. Most of us working in the advertising industry have privilege in some way. Be sure to check yours as you communicate with others.
It's easy to stay home when you can work remotely or when you have the financial means of stocking up on food. But many people, especially those who are systemically marginalized, do not have those privileges. The recommendation to wear a mask may seem simple to white Americans, but for Black or Asian folks, it could invite risk. For those who are deaf or hard of hearing, masks can further isolate them. As communicators, it's vitally important to always check our own privilege by thinking about how our audience will perceive our message and find approaches that are sensitive to their lived experience.
5. Audiences are looking to people who are influential rather than people who are famous.
The days where people turn to celebrities for guidance are changing. Even most young people, who are typically reachable through influencers, aren't turning to online influencers for news about COVID-19. "We're in this together" messages from the rich and famous have at times been met with criticism, making audiences less receptive to their intended messages. However, from this pandemic, a new breed of influencers have emerged—healthcare workers, public health experts, and activists have won people's respect and attention, making them highly relevant messengers during this time.
We may be living in an unprecedented time, but these recommendations can help us be better communicators not only now, but also after the pandemic is over. As we navigate this new normal, not all our COVID-19 messaging will be perfect. What's most important is our willingness to listen, to learn and to make sure our audiences' lived experiences are respected.

Rockies notes, 4/22
April 22, 2012 Jordan Schelling
Young's speed helping swing games for Rox
By Jordan Schelling / Special to MLB.com
MILWAUKEE — He's started just one game this season, but Eric Young Jr. has been an integral part of the Rockies' success.
"He's a weapon," manager Jim Tracy said. "And he has embraced the role that he has right now."
Young has played in 12 of Colorado's first 14 games, showing an excellent approach at the plate as a pinch-hitter, and even better skills on the basepaths.
In fact, Young's baserunning was key in the Rockies' victory on Opening Day, and again Friday when they took the series opener from the Brewers at Miller Park. Both situations involved the outfielder advancing following errors on pickoff attempts and coming around to score go-ahead runs.
Young drew a big leadoff walk Saturday night in the sixth inning, which he followed up by stealing second and scoring a game-tying run on a groundout two batters later. In his fourth-year as a utility player for the Rockies, Young has the freedom to steal whenever he sees the right opportunity to do so.
"He has done just an absolute fantastic job in his role on this ballclub," Tracy said. "A guy with that kind of speed that's part of his game, that works on things like that, why would I sit over here and guess when he can stand there and see for himself and know if he can or can't get a jump and take advantage of the situation?
"You let the light be green. Don't go through the intersection if it goes to caution or red and cause a bad accident, and get to second. Simple as that. That's what he does. He's been absolutely terrific."
Extra work before season paying off for Colvin
MILWAUKEE — Even his manager has been a little surprised by Tyler Colvin's hot start for the Rockies.
After a breakout year in 2010, Colvin's production dropped off last season with the Cubs. However, over his first 10 games and 26 at-bats with the Rockies, Colvin batted .346 with a home run and five RBIs.
Including Sunday against the Brewers, Colvin had started six of the Rockies' first 15 contests. He batted in the No. 2 hole in the finale against Milwaukee, a spot where his numbers have not been particularly impressive in his career. Colvin has just eight hits in 59 career at-bats batting second, with a slash line of .136/.164/.237.
Even so, it's a spot where manager Jim Tracy likes his bat.
"He handles the bat extremely well," Tracy said. "Tyler Colvin's a guy you can put runners in motion with, and he's going to get a good swing off and put the ball in play.
"This is also a bat that you have to respect from a depth standpoint and not cheat too much to the point where if there's multiple runners, he's going to burn you and drive a ball over your head. He has that capability, he makes those outfielders stay honest that way."
Colvin also has been a valuable and versatile defender, having already played each of the three outfield positions and first base at least once each. His start Friday night gave right fielder Michael Cuddyer an extra day off to rest his bruised left big toe, while Dexter Fowler got a day off Sunday.
Tracy said the Rockies brought Colvin in two months before Spring Training to get a jump on working with the young outfielder. Colvin came to the Rockies in a trade with the Cubs in December.
"We got very proactive on this one," Tracy said. "There were some things that we saw on film that we strongly felt had to be cleaned up, that we felt like, 'This is the big reason why he took a major step backward in 2011, in relation to where he was in 2010.'
"We wanted to get started and give him the opportunity to take the information home with him, knowing he still had eight weeks to go, rather than vice versa."
Cuddyer made sure to track Humber's perfecto
MILWAUKEE — Fans across the nation tuned in Saturday evening to catch the end of the White Sox game at Seattle, as Philip Humber completed the 21st perfect game in Major League history.
In the visitor's clubhouse at Miller Park, the Rockies were watching as well. Right fielder Michael Cuddyer looked on with particular interest, being Humber's former teammate.
"It's unbelievable," Cuddyer said. "What's even more amazing is the White Sox have 18 no-hitters. It's incredible."
Cuddyer played with Humber briefly during the 2008-09 seasons, when Humber pitched 20 2/3 innings in 13 relief appearances for the Twins.
Did Cuddyer ever see perfect-game type stuff out of Humber?
"Well, perfect games, obviously you've got to have good stuff, but a lot of things also have to go your way," Cuddyer said, "So I think [Saturday] was his day. I didn't see the whole game, but it was definitely his day. That's for sure."
While he's never been involved personally in a perfect game, Cuddyer was in right field for the Twins on May 3 last year, when Francisco Liriano no-hit the White Sox.
Cuddyer reflected on what it's like being a part of a game like that.
"A lot of excitement," Cuddyer said. "During that ninth inning, you're more nervous as a defensive player than the pitcher is, especially in a perfect game. Because if you mess it up, then you messed it up for him. Not you or for the team. It's nerve-wracking."

Julian Calor is a Dutch wunderkind with talent that exceeds beyond his years. At just 21-years-old, Julian has already set the scene alight with his unique sense of melody and chord progressions that have continued to send his presence surging forward. Sending his early demos into Revealed Recordings, the sound of Julian has since shot through the stratosphere, his #3 Beatport smash 'Tyhoon' garnering millions of stream plays online and capturing the attention of those that matter. With Revealed label boss Hardwell being a supporter of his from the start, it seemed only fitting that the World #1 DJ offered him the chance to construct a spellbinding debut album titled 'Evolve' that presents itself as a release of eclectic beauty.
In the single-driven EDM market, tracks can make or break artists in a flash with a shelf life that is often startlingly short - and where it is extremely uncommon to see an artist of this age undertaking a full, debut album release so early on in their career, Julian has worked to achieve a timeless document that will cement itself in Revealed's history as a stand-out, career-crossroads release, set to propel Julian to dizzying new heights. Presenting the finest work of his career to date, both 'Evolve' and 'Cell' - the first two cuts to be teased from the full-length - soared to take the #2 and #6 positions on the Beatport Progressive House Chart respectively, sending appetites salivating for this hotly-anticipated debut release. With an additional 14 tracks that cover a wide range of musical influences from the club-ready to the euphoric, the atmospheric to the immersive, Julian laces his signature melodic and progressive house with a twist of electro, blending together his trademark musicality for a constantly-evolving sound.
"The album is called Evolve because that is what I experienced during the making of this album, I started producing hip hop tracks 7 years ago and house music 3 years ago, my sound evolved" Julian states of the project's title, adding: "When playing around in the studio I wanted to experiment with different tempos as well, I felt no boundaries to try out whatever I wanted when making this album'" - a self-assured project that held no restrictions, a notion that aided Julian in collating this power package of a release, giving the listener a journey on which to sit back, relax and dream away, yet at the same time will get any dance floor to a higher state. Take the 115 bpm masterpiece 'Another Template', taking the use of melodies that twist and turn below his signature electro sound, before the unique, down-tempo sound of the electronic-led 'To The Core' - featuring a striking vocal from Quilla - steers 'Evolve' into yet another dimension. Showing his DJ flair on the album also, Julian brings peak-time monsters such as 'Sorcerer' and 'Draw Mode' with its techno-leaning stance, ensure that Julian's body of work across this debut artist album release is recognized as a document of productions that will truly stand the test of time.


The Fenwick senior is one of eight students nationally to earn Purdue's prestigious scholarship, which is valued at more than $200,000!
Fenwick High School senior student Garrett Mulcahy is the proud recipient of a Beering Scholarship from Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. The 18-year-old, who resides in Elmhurst and attended Bryan Middle School, plans to study mathematics in the fall of 2017. Garrett's father, Patrick, is head of the Theology Department at Fenwick.
But Diane Facinelli, Ph.D., assistant dean for recruitment and admissions at Purdue, reassures that the Beering award is quite real. "Garrett Mulcahy truly is an interdisciplinary student who loves everything from literature and languages, to science and math, and looks forward to reading French existentialist thinkers in their own tongue," praises Facinelli, who also is a clinical professor in the university's Honors College. "His plan at this stage in his life is to eventually obtain a Ph.D. in mathematics, but currently he is looking forward to absorbing as much of Purdue's rich academic and extracurricular culture as possible as a member of the Purdue Honors College's class of 2022.
"We chose Garrett because he is not only a good student, but also a good person," Facinelli continues. "He embodies the ideals and values portrayed by Purdue's ninth president, Dr. Steven C. Beering," who created this scholarship program by raising private funds for the endowment, which approaches $200,000 annually for the eight students selected.
To whom does Mulcahy attribute his varied academic interests? "My parents wanted well-read children," he says matter-of-factly. "My Dad majored in philosophy, and my Mom [Teri] majored in international studies" as undergraduate students. While their son adds that he always has enjoyed studying English and French, Garrett really gravitated toward science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects. Math, especially, is a forte for him. In the recent American Mathematics Competitions, Mulcahy received the top Junior-Senior score of 100.5, which qualified him for the super-challenging American Invitational Math Exam.
Two years ago, Mulcahy won a $5,000 scholarship from the American Chemical Society in the 55th annual Chicago Section Scholarship Exam in Chemistry. He was the only student of a private Catholic school to receive a scholarship. Even as a 14-year-old freshman at Fenwick, Mulcahy showed high potential, placing second in the state of Illinois in the Biology category at the Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering (WYSE) competition. "I was nervous but also excited to be on the varsity team as a freshman," Mulcahy recalls. He has received a lot of encouragement from math teacher Finnell and two other Fenwick faculty members: Ramzi Farran (chemistry) and David Kleinhans (physics).
"I remember Mr. Farran stopping outside my locker freshman year to say how impressed he was with my practice test performances and telling me I could do well," Mulcahy recalls. "I had his class my sophomore year and learned that he educates the whole person. He truly helped to shape my world view.
"Junior year I had Mr. Kleinhans, who absolutely loves physics," he continues. "He does a really good job pushing people" to give their best effort. Kleinhans tells his students not to get down on themselves, that poor test scores every now and then are to be expected. "We learn life lessons about how to bounce back from adversity," Mulcahy notes. "My mindset changed from being so results-oriented to being more growth-oriented. Kind and caring teachers like them are what make Fenwick so special," Mulcahy concludes.
Kleinhans offers high praise for the scholarly young man: "In addition to performing at the highest levels in class, Garrett looks for all additional STEM enrichment opportunities. He was a valuable member of our WYSE team, which finished first in the Illinois state competition in the 2015-2016 academic year. Garrett was a key contributor and has earned a top-three individual medal in each of his prior years." Last year as a junior, he placed second in chemistry. For this year's WYSE team, which scored a perfect 500 and won its sectional at North Central College (Naperville), he placed first in chemistry and mathematics. The team travels to the state competition in Champaign on April 20.
Excelling in the classroom and laboratory is only part of Mulcahy's dossier. Athletically, he demonstrates his versatility in Fenwick's storied swimming pool. A four-year letterman on the Friars' swim team, Garrett specializes in the butterfly stroke and went to the state sectional meet as a sophomore. He was named a team captain this past season.
Garrett and his dad say they are grateful for the support and encouragement of the Fenwick community. Mulcahy is one of 7,000 students mentored by aforementioned chemistry instructor Farran, who taught at Fenwick for 35 years before retiring in 2016. During Farran's tenure, the school witnessed an increase in chemistry enrollment from some 20 percent to nearly 90 percent.
In addition to Farran, the elder Mulcahy also acknowledges another science teacher: Kevin Roche, who leads Fenwick's TEAMS competition. (TEAMS is an acronym for Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science, an annual competition for high school students designed to help them discover their potential for engineering.) And of his colleague Kleinhans, Mulcahy explains he truly goes above and beyond for Fenwick's students. "Dave even set up a mock interview to help Garrett prepare for a half-hour Skype interview," the appreciative parent recalls, in which the boy participated as part of Purdue's selection process.


Sandwiched between a large-scale high-rise district and a rural point-by-point ribbon development, this office building reconciles the differences between them. It takes as its stepping-off point the traditional Dutch farmstead, an assemblage of buildings tightly enfolding a courtyard. The character of the wall reflects the immediate surroundings, from the taut introverted elevation on Prins Alexanderlaan containing the main entrance with its curved expanse of glass, to the hornbeam on the side adjoining the rural area. The most prominent features on site are a centrally situated tower of stairs, lifts and services in an anthracite-coloured rendering, and a zinc-clad office wing.

Watch Margot Robbie Get Silly With 'The Suicide Squad' Gag

Yea, a few of their interactions are a bit NSFW, however there are additionally lighthearted moments that includes Robbie's banter with Flula Borg's Javelin or her loopy expertise with a bunch of birds. And then there's Elba tumble and, nicely, simply the entire forged's incapacity to maintain from laughing in between strains that's positive to make you smile.

Cuevas and Wharton leave a leagacy for the band
Emily Ruthven, Around Creek Editor
After an extremely influential few years, assistant band director Daniel Cuevas and percussion director Josh Wharton have announced their departure from the program.
Wharton will be leaving to teach elsewhere due to an impractical commute time. While Cuevas currently holds a Bachelor's degree from the University of Houston's Moores School of Music, he is leaving Clear Creek to pursue his life-long dream of having a Master's degree in music education. He will be attending Michigan University in the fall. Upon completing his degree, Cuevas plans on returning to high school to teach and then to advance onto teaching at a university.
"Teaching, without a doubt, is what I should be doing," Cuevas said.
He began teaching at Harrison High School, located in Kennesaw, Georgia, where he conducted the Concert band, Jazz Band 2, and led the color guard and winter guard program. Prior to teaching, Cuevas was a member of the extremely popular drum and bugle corps, Phantom Regiment. While at Clear Creek, Cuevas has conducted the Symphonic Band, written the band's 2014 marching show, Both Sides Now, and their 2013 show, Jacob's Ladder and has assisted in the direction of the Cadettes.
Josh Wharton holds a Bachelor's degree from the University of Kentucky, Cum Laude, in Percussion Performance. He has also performed with the United Kingdom percussion at the PASIC, the symphonic orchestra in Carnegie Hall and toured China with the Wind Ensemble. Wharton also has a Master's degree of Music in Music Theory from UH. Wharton also performed as a soloist for Aura, the UH music ensemble, under the direction of Dr. Rob Smith.
During their years at Creek, Cuevas and Wharton have had a monumental impact on the band program, especially with the students.
" My favorite part of teaching is seeing how the kids grow and mature by the end of the year," Cuevas said. "I am always so proud to see the kids become their own people and it is always exciting when the kids move up an ensemble."
For Wharton, summer band is a staple in the teaching process.
"In our June camp, which is the week after school lets out for the summer, the new leadership team gets to lead the new freshmen for the first time, and that is always interesting to see. Its fun to watch the leadership members grow as individuals and leaders," Wharton said.
For most people, teaching correlates directly with the students learning the lessons. However, Cuevas has learned some lessons from the kids.
"I learned that while my passion may not be the same as all of my students', there is still a way to share that with someone else and have them be able to enjoy and gain something from it. I learned how to help the kids develop a love of music that will stick with them even if they stop playing their instrument," Cuevas said.
Wharton has also learned some valuable lessons throughout his teaching career at Creek.
"I learned that you should never underestimate the talent of the kids. If you don't tell them their music is hard, then they will not hesitate to play it and most of the time, they end up playing it really well," Wharton said.
Being a band director at Creek comes with many memorable moments throughout the years. Some of the best ones come at homecoming.
"As much as I am always nervous for it, Fish Friday is always fun. I'm happy to see the freshman feel a part of something. Before they are fished, some of them tend to feel like they aren't really a part of the band, and Fish Friday really helps them feel included," Cuevas said.
The band has achieved many successes under the direction of Cuevas and Wharton.
"My proudest moment was when we won the Best Visual Performance caption at this year's Bands of America, or BOA. It was so cute to watch the kid's reactions." Cuevas said. "Another great memory of mine occurred at the Midwest clinic with the 2013 wind ensemble. During our piece with Michael and Chris Martin, I walked to the audience to truly enjoy the piece and I saw people crammed in the back of the theater, standing just to hear the kids play. It was so amazing."
Josh Wharton added, "It is amazing to see all of the kids step up and play super hard music. It was incredible to hear them on stage."
For the past four years, Creek's band has improved almost exponentially, both in marching band and concert band. However, the band is also known for its ability to have an insane amount of fun.
"I hope that Creek's band maintains it's awesome traditions like fish Friday," Cuevas said.
Cuevas and Wharton agreed that, "without a doubt the hardest part of leaving will be saying goodbye to the kids." Daniel Cuevas and Josh Wharton have helped the band program grow an incredible amount in a few short years.
"After Mr. Cuevas and I leave, I really hope the band keeps on pushing the standards like we have for the past couple of years. Lately, we've been sounding different from other bands in Texas, in a good way, which is really cool. I hope Clear Creek continues on this upward path that we've been traveling on the past four years," Wharton said.

Constructor Sweden helps Octapharma keep its cool
Octapharma, Sweden
Case Study Overview
Customer: Octapharma
Location: Stockholm/Sweden
Products/services used: MOVO Mobile Pallet Racking, Static Racking, Design
Octapharma is one of the biggest players in the international market for protein-based drugs. The company was founded in 1983 and now has approximately 6000 employees in 45 countries.
Storage of drugs puts great demands on safety, hygiene and temperature. Octapharma's warehouse needed to reflect this and be designed to meet the daily flow of goods and include areas such as incoming/outgoing goods, warehouse, cold and freeze storage.
These complex material handling requirements meant that they needed a partner who could offer the specialist technical advice to create an efficient and compliant facility. Constructor Sweden was the perfect fit.
Constructor solution
As they did not have any existing warehouse function, and no prior experience of choosing a pallet handling system, Octapharma's own team worked closely with Constructor's technical engineers to design the best system for them.
Each area had its own challenges. For example, the temperature in the freezing area has to be at a constant temperature of -30 degrees centigrade. The room is monitored 24/7 so that it always stays at that temperature. This also applies to the high bay storage (15-25oc) and cold room (2-8oc) which are also monitored constantly to ensure temperature consistency.
With regard to safety, the two outermost sections of the freezing storage area are shielded and interlocked. On the left side finished products are stored away from the raw materials, while on the right side the lower pallet places are shielded. These are used to store "quarantine" products.
The company had initially planned to install conventional pallet racking in the freezing area. This would have only given them 1000 pallet places. When Constructor introduced them to the idea of MOVO mobile racking, which would give them 1300 pallet places, they were delighted not only with the additional capacity but also the energy savings they would make.
Another technical issue in the freezing storage was the escape route, the specification for which is mandatory. The distance from the last mobile rack to the back wall is 1.2 metre. Constructor mounted a rack with tunnel protection above the escape route, which means this extra space can also be used for storage.
For the racking, Octapharma chose a traditional rack solution with 3 metre wide aisles in the warehouse area.
In the high bay racking, raw materials, consumables and packaging materials such as salt, chemicals, hoses and glassware are stored. The cold area is for raw materials and finished products while the freeze warehouse will be used for the storage of raw materials, intermediates and finished products.
"Our warehouse function was previously outsourced and we have wanted to bring it in-house for some time. Working with Constructor Sweden we have gained a number of advantages including obtaining better control of our warehouse logistics. Other anticipated benefits are reduced costs and improved conditions for our staff." - Sarah Lundqvist, Project Manager, Octapharma
