Jemima thinks that Mars is just a barren, dull, lifeless hole. With the only people living there being lonely singing space miners. She says it's just like a historical Welsh theme park; but with love spoons instead of rollercoasters. Pod is still going to dig a little deeper though, as he loves folk traditions and really wants to hear those funny little miners singing their songs!
Yet, Jemima can't shake the feeling that she'll end up eating cheese on toast with a stick of leek in her hair... or worse!

Can Albania and Greece operate on reciprocal basis?
The decision to evict the church from the building was based on a 2002 court order that had not been enforced for years. Nevertheless, the forceful eviction attracted the attention of the media and public as it was badly handled. In one of the scenes, one of the priests actually jumped on a policeman, which goes to show the feelings and gravity of the situation which was created by the event. The Albanian Autocephalous Orthodox Church is in theory an autonomous Albanian Church. In practice, it is headed by Greek bishops, who are often perceived by the local public as acting in the interests of the Greek government.
However, I am not here to talk about this incident as I do not have knowledge of the veracity of the claims made by both parties, I just wanted to talk about the Albanian-Greek relations.
What caused a greater stir from this whole event, which was of interest to most Albanians, was the repeat involvement of the Greek government in our internal affairs. In short, the Greek government's reaction came in the form of a protest note made by their ministry of embassy/ministry of foreign affairs and it even escalated to a complaint against Albania before the European Union.
The other reaction, which is most disturbing, came in the form of unfair treatment toward Albanian immigrants traveling between Albanian and Greece, in this case toward Greece. This is a recurring issue where the Greek border police regularly turn down Albanians for "irregularities" with their papers or lack of "something" which impedes them from traveling to Greece. The list of such "issues" is long, but the main problem is the fact that Greek border authorities have used this to literally persecute and discriminate Albanians on many different levels. They have even gone so far as to prevent Albanian journalists from entering Greece in retaliation for their reporting on such issues with their nationals.
The recent incident in Tepelene turned out to be another "justification" for discrimination and ill-treatment of Albanian immigrants and travelers. However, this time it was different!
The Albanian border authorities decided to start hindering Greek nationals from entering Albania for lack of proper documentation such as official invitation, hotel reservation, etc., which is what happens regularly on the Greek side of the border. This was the first time in recent history and brought about the quick normalization of the situation on the Greek side of the border.
However, the situation is much more complex than that and the hope is for the new Rama government will push harder for better relations between both countries.

WND's Farber Finds New Heroes In Fringe Fox Newsers
Barry Farber excitedly writes in his May 27 WorldNetDaily column:
Fox News has come up with the best political show on television. It's called "The Political Insiders," and you'll never see an ivory tower, self-proclaimed political "consultant," "strategist" or political "expert." All three partners on the show have been muddied and bloodied in the political trenches for real. They are Doug Schoen, former pollster for the Clintons; Pat Caddell, former pollster for Jimmy Carter; and John LeBoutillier, former congressman from New York.
Each open-handedly and fist-clenchedly bashes his own party without hesitation or apology. When you watch "The Political Insiders," you may feel like a resident of Communist Europe hearing Radio Free Europe for the first time!
We've previously noted that Pat Caddell hasn't done anything for Democrats for years, if not decades. Similarly, Doug Schoen is a "Fox News Democrat" who has raised funds for Republicans.
LeBoutillier, of course, is the former Newsmax columnist who got too ridiculous for them even as they were still a rabidly anti-Clinton operation, refusing to publish a column of his making sleazy allegations about Gary Condit's sex life. LeBoutillier also co-wrote a bizarre novel based on Obama birther conspiracy theories.
These are the people Farber considers to be his new heroes.
Newsmax Promotes 'Experts' Pushing Dubious Claim About Keystone Pipeline
Melanie Batley writes in a May 27 Newsmax article:
President Barack Obama's reluctance to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline, despite widespread popular support for the project, is not only hindering America's energy independence but driving up the price of gas for American consumers.
According to a column in Forbes Magazine by Kathleen Hartnett White and Vance Ginn, experts at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, recent geopolitical instability and disruptions and bottlenecks in the supply of Brent crude oil from the North Sea have driven up costs for American refiners, leading to higher retail prices at the pump.
Batley doesn't mention that the Texas Public Policy Foundation is a right-wing think tank that pays its analysts to come up with opinions like that.
Batley also ignores that other experts hold other opinions on the Keystone pipeline's effect on oil prices.
The Washington Post has noted that not even the company that wants to build the pipeline is claiming that it will lower gas prices. And another Forbes columnist suggests that the pipeline might actually raise gas prices.
But most experts agree that the Keystone pipeline will little to no effect on gas prices in the U.S., since it's unlikely that oil companies will pass on their pipeline-derived savings to consumers.
WND Remains A Fact-Free Zone For Birther Conspiracy Theories
WorldNetDaily is a world where the most ridiculous claims about President Obama's birth certificate have never been challenged and WND's crediiblity hasn't been irrevocably ruined by peddling increasingly outlandish claims about the president.
Which explains why WND's Unruh still considers Donald Trump to be a credible source on birther conspiracies. Unruh writes in a May 28 article:
Billionaire Donald Trump has revealed he offered Barack Obama a $50 million donation to the president's favorite charities in exchange for releasing his personal records, but Obama never responded.
"I would take it, and I'd give it to Chicago charities, and I would give it to all sorts of charities," Trump said at a recent appearance at the National Press Club. "And they can use the money."
Trump originally offered to give $5 million to Obama's pick of charities if he would release his college and passport records.
WND reported that Trump wanted to know the place of birth Obama claimed when applying for college admission and aid.
But there was no deal.
Unruh doesn't mention any evidence Trump offered to back up his claim. Instead, he rehashes Trump's previous birther rantings and recycles the WND version of birther history, which conveniently omits the fact that most of it has been discredited.
Is Unruh really that lazy of a reporter, or is he so far in the WND bubble that the truth can't reach him anymore?
MRC's Sharyl Attkisson Dissonance Continues
A May 15 Media Research Center item by Sean Long does something we weren't sure the MRC was going to do -- call out its new BFF, former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson, for her shoddy reporting on vaccines:
More than simply covering the connection, some reporters, including former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson who reported anecdotes and interviewed many families convinced that vaccines caused their children's autism.
Attkisson was particularly prone to report such anecdotes. Some segments, such as May 18, 2004, "Evening News" began and ended with minute long interviews with parent who blamed vaccines for their children's autism. She even ended that story by asking, "How can it be wrong to err on the side of caution?"
In a similar broadcast on June 12, 2004, Attkisson included an anti-vaccination parent at a rally who claimed, "The CDC is going to become the Enron of the vaccine industry." The Enron Corporation had recently collapsed in part due to fraudulent financial practices.
Years later, on April 21, 2014, Attkisson defended her vaccine reporting to CNN's "Reliable Sources," calling them "some of the most important stories I've done."
But being the MRC, this only goes so far. Not only does Long fail to reconcile this criticism of Attkisson with the MRC's praise of her self-proclaimed martyrdom for her coverage of the Obama administration, the MRC has approvingly added an Attkisson quote about how her former CBS bosses were purportedly "ideologically entrenched" to its "Journalists Admitting Liberal Bias" page.
There seems to be a bit of cognitive dissonance here -- the MRC can't bash Attkisson for her shoddy vaccine reporting and at the same time praise her for her similarly shoddy reporting on the Obama administration. Shouldn't the same standard be applied to all of Attkisson's reporting?
Ah, but if there weren't double standards, it wouldn't be the MRC.
Logrolling In Our Time, Jim Fletcher Edition
Another Jim Fletcher column, another round of praise for a WorldNetDaily-published book he doesn't disclose is published by the same folks that publish his column:
Frankly, there is widespread dread in this country. Nothing feels the same anymore. Much of this has to do with the current occupant of the White House.
Surveillance, disregard for traditional American values and now – reports that the First Lady is asking school kids to monitor their parents – all add up to a scary new reality in which the State controls all.
Is this America?
Cheryl Chumley wondered and her research led to a new book, "Police State USA: How Orwell's Nightmare Is Becoming Our Reality." It is a chilling account of how this country became a "de facto" police state. In other words, that's already a reality, not merely possibility.
I found "Police State USA" to be hugely informative, even hopeful and buoyant as a call to action (dare I say, call to arms?) in protecting the precious freedoms that have made America … yes, exceptional.
Even if our current leaders don't believe it.
Fletcher does this a lot.
MRC's Bozell & Graham Mansplain Feminism
Shailene Woodley is fast-rising movie star, and at age 22, she's already thrown the country's most uptight feminists into a tizzy.
Time magazine asked Woodley: "Do you consider yourself a feminist?" To say she didn't give the Hollywood answer would be an understatement.
"No, because I love men, and I think the idea of 'raise women to power, take the men away from the power' is never going to work out because you need balance."
Many women continue to reject "feminism" because it evokes an ideological rigidity grounded in the hostility toward men. That, in turn, drives feminists around a bend.
This sputtering is a bit amusing. Feminists insist you support their entire agenda or you're guilty of waging a "war on women." Apparently a woman who isn't a feminist is anti-woman.
Feminists insist they care only for equality between the sexes, but if that were so, why would so many women balk? Because they hate themselves? Or because after 40 years of screaming, it is pretty apparent that activist feminists in academia, the media, and politics will never stop complaining. Forty years from now they will still be waging a war on intolerable "patriarchy."
It's becoming faddish again to mentally bra-burn. The Times found twenty-something feminist actresses who are perpetually outraged at people's failure to bow to feminism.
Many people don't accept the term "feminist" because it sounds like a very serious kind of pagan religion, with its own dogma and doctrinal enforcers. Others find feminists to be boors, pure and simple. Still others see the hypocrisy of it all. If feminists really believed women should be liberated to make their own path, wouldn't they embrace a debate over feminism? Such is the world of the "tolerant" left.

CNS' Starr Upset Abstinence Not Mentioned As Solution To Sexual Disease
CNSNews.com reporter Penny Starr -- who likes to make false, alarmist claims about how morning-after pills cause abortion -- has a freakout about someone else's supposed alarmist claim in a May 19 CNS article:
Dr. Vanessa Cullins, vice president for external medical affairs at the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, says in a video that the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted disease that everyone will contract.
"In terms of sexually transmitted diseases, expect to have HPV once you become sexually intimate," says Cullins, who is an obstetrician and gynecologist. "All of us get it."
Starr's only source of rebuttal is Dr. Donna Harrison, "executive director and director of research and public policy at the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists," so you know it's biased:
Harrison said an HPV diagnosis can "change a woman's life forever."
Harrison said she also is sexually active as a married woman but she has not contracted the virus because she is in a monogamous relationship.
"That is the safest way to avoid sexually transmitted diseases," Harrison said.
Neither Harrison nor Starr mention Gardasil, a vaccine that can prevent HPV infections, but Starr's fellow Media Research Center co-workers have been busy fearmongering about that. Her article, oddly, includes a picture marked as "HPV vaccine."
Starr doesn't seem to be upset that Planned Parenthood may be overstating the prevalence of HPV -- even she concedes that "79 million Americans are infected with the virus" -- but, instead, she's upset that Planned Parenthood and the Centers for Disease Control are living in the real world, not in her right-wing Christian world, and do not mention absinence as a way to avoid catching HPV.
Also, this Planned Parenthood video Starr is writing about is not a new one -- it was released in 2009. Starr does not explain why it took her five years to write about it.
WND's Erik Rush: My Conspiracy Theories Are True!
In his May 21 WorldNetDaily column, Erik Rush bashes a Newsweek writer's attempt to shoot down various conspiracy theories (though, characteristically, he doesn't provide a link to this article so his readers can see for themselves), complaining that Newsweek's Kurt Eichenwald "mixes lies with the truth, in that he similarly mocks both the most preposterous, nearly universally rejected conspiracy theories and those that have already been proven to be factual."
He's particularly upset that Newsweek dismisses right-wing Agenda 21 freakouts as a conspiracy theory:
The "award-winning plan" to which he refers was indeed a United Nations Agenda 21 design. Like Smart Meters mandated in municipalities and then installed in private homes while local law enforcement stands menacingly by, there are literally hundreds of Agenda 21 "suggestions" in regulatory queues across America, sponsored politically and financially by radical local politicians and ideological millionaires. In my community, we certainly know who they are.
But Rush never responds to what Eichenwald has to say in debunking the Agenda 21 conspiracies:
The idea was simple: Under the auspices of the U.N., those countries expressed their interest in managing urban development and land-use policies in ways that minimized the impact on the environment. At the time, mainstream conservative and liberal politicians considered the concept to be fairly inconsequential.
No more. Extremist organizations latched on to Agenda 21 as an attempt by the U.N. and the "New World Order" to seize private property to advance the causes of communism and to crush all dissent. Death maps will be created to determine where people will be allowed to live, some of the theories go. Trees will be given the same rights as humans. Electricity companies will conduct surveillance on customers.
By 2012, the Republican National Committee—overlooking that a Republican president had signed Agenda 21—adopted a resolution slamming the document as an "insidious scheme" designed to impose a "socialist/communist redistribution of wealth." That language was toned down by the time of the Republican National Convention, but wild claims about Agenda 21 survived, saying the barely financed, unenforceable declaration was "insidious" and "erosive of American sovereignty."
Today, the Agenda 21 conspiracy is raised around the country when local zoning boards—many of whom have never even heard of the U.N. statement—attempt to adopt development plans that control willy-nilly construction while considering environmental impact.
Rush goes on to stick to one of his more outlandish conspiracy theories:
Back in March, I revealed that a source in the intelligence community had informed me that Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 was hijacked in a Central Intelligence Agency-sponsored operation reeking of corporate and government intrigue, that the airliner had not crashed and that the manufacturer, Boeing, had likely been involved due to the technical implications of such an undertaking.
I was roundly ridiculed, of course, yet this week Malaysia's influential former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad accused the CIA and Boeing of having done just that, describing the very scenario I outlined, and detailing how it might have been accomplished in the same way it was initially explained to me. Mohamad also charged that the missing aircraft's current whereabouts are known to the alleged conspirators.
This is just one of the recent "conspiracy theories" and "phony scandals" that have either borne out in truth, or appear to contain more than an element of truth.
Just because a public official (or, in this case, a former public official) echoes your conspiracy theory doesn't mean that it has been "borne out in truth." You know, just like Joe Arpaio spouting birther conspiracy theories doesn't mean they've been proven true.
Newsmax Promotes Dubious Anti-Global Warming Petition
Cheryl K. Chumley writes in a May 20 Newsmax article:
While the United Nations and the Obama administration assert that climate change is settled science and requires dramatic regulatory oversight, 31,072 U.S. scientists have signed the Petition Project, saying the issue remains decidedly unsettled.
"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will in the foreseeable future cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate," the petition says.
Urgent: Who Is Your Choice for the GOP's 2016 Nominee?
"The purpose of the Petition Project is to demonstrate that the claim of 'settled science' and an overwhelming 'consensus' in favor of the hypothesis of human-caused global warming and consequent climatological damage is wrong," the petition asserts. "No such consensus or settled science exists."
Over 9,000 of the petition's signatories have a Ph.D. in a scientific field.
We first wrote about this petition in 2008, when the number of signees was also at around 31,000. As we noted then, few of those signees have degrees in fields related to climate science. Further, there have been more than 10.6 million science graduates as defined by Robinson's group since the 1970-71 school year, making the 31,000 on the petition a tiny fraction of that -- 0.3 percent, to be exact -- small enough that one could call it "fringe."
The rest of Chumley's article consists of right-wing talking points by climate change "skeptics."
WND's Farah Still Clings To Clinton Conspiracy Theories
The Daily Beast talked to some of the most notorious Clinton-haters of the 1990s, and finds that many of them have kept their hatred stoked for lo these many years. At the top of that list, of course, is WorldNetDaily's Joseph Farah, who still clings to many of the old Clinton conspiracies, like the death of Vince Voster:
"We were simply asking questions about the death of a high-ranking administration official in very peculiar circumstances, and we were just supposed to accept the conventional answers even though when you look at the forensic evidence there were a lot of questions," said Joseph Farah, the editor of WND.com and the former head of the Western Journalism Center
In 1996, the Columbia Journalism Review described the WJC as dedicated to "trying to inject the dark view of Foster's death into mainstream reporting and thinking. Last year, to this end, the Center bought full-page ads in several major newspapers, including The New York Times… to offer for sale special Vince Foster reports."
That Foster was murdered, Farah says now, "is not something you will ever see me saying. I am a journalist. I don't draw conclusions unless there is proper evidence for it. I don't what happened but I don't think he committed suicide in Fort Marcy Park."
Of course, Farah is being utterly disingenuous. If you reject the idea that Foster committed suicide, the only other possible conclusion you can come to is that he was murdered.
But that's not the only thing Farah is willing to lie about. He even denies being a Clinton-hater, even though WND's early days were dripping with hatred for Clintbn:
"They called us Clinton-haters. I was never a hater," Farah says. "But you could certainly say I was one of his enemies."
And even with the remove of two decades, Farah stands by his reporting—although he acknowledges that not all of it was in the tradition of even-handed journalism.
"Accurate? Yes. Fairness is a nice thing that we try to do in journalism. We don't want to smear people. We don't want to be untruthful. But the most important thing is holding power accountable, and that is what we tried to do."
As we have seen with WND's coverage of Obama, Farah has absolutely no problem smearing people and being untruthful.
By contrast, Newsmax's Christopher Ruddy has tried to distance himself from his Clinton-era excesses:
"At the time, I think I was just trying to do a good job as a journalist, but it was to just get caught up in this anti-Clinton movement and belief that he was a bad guy no matter what he did," said Chris Ruddy, CEO of the conservative media company NewsMax, and close ally at the time of both Scaife and Farah.
"It becomes almost like trench warfare. You have a permanent stalemate and a permanent sense of war and anger and it keeps escalating and there is nobody to bring a truce," Ruddy said.
He found his way out of the hysteria, he says, during the Bush years, a period which by comparison made Clinton look sober and judicious. At New York City Mayor Ed Koch's urging, Ruddy and Scaife reached out to Clinton, and met with him for lunch at his Harlem office in 2007.
Now, he says, "I don't feel like I did anything wrong. I think that at the time I was acting as the opposition press. Do I think it was over the top? Yes. This was 20 years ago. It was my first big adventure in journalism. I was caught up in the moment. You live and learn and you grow. Do I think it was a mistake to be attacking the president? Um… Yes, in the way I did, yes."
Of course, true believer Farah was having none of that:
"Scaife and Ruddy have run from what they did," said Farah. "Without any real explanation that makes any sense. You won't see them talking about Vince Foster any more. They think Clinton has grown up since leaving the presidency, that he is somehow a changed man. Well, maybe they are the ones that changed."
Farah has not changed -- he's as willing to spew hate and lies as ever.
CNS' Jeffrey Can't Stop Peddling Obamacare 'Abortion-Inducing Drug' Myth
Terry Jeffrey rants in a May 21 CNSNews.com column:
Two Senate committees held hearings this month on the nomination of Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell to succeed Kathleen Sebelius as secretary of Health and Human Services, the federal agency most responsible for overseeing implementation of Obamacare.
In these two hearings, according to transcripts published by CQ Transcriptions, the senators and the nominee spoke approximately 49,000 words. Not one of these words directly addressed the contraception-sterilization-abortion-inducing drug regulation that Sebelius issued under Obamacare and that is now the target of more than 90 lawsuits.
The central question in the lawsuits filed against Sebelius is whether the federal government can force Americans into complicity with the taking of innocent human life by compelling them to buy or provide health insurance that covers abortion-inducing drugs.
As the enforcer, Burwell will effectively tell Americans: Under Obamacare's individual mandate, you must buy health insurance, and under our regulation, that insurance must cover abortion-inducing drugs.
As we've repeatedly documented, no drugs that fit the medical definition of "abortion-inducing drugs" are covered by Obamacare.
Why must Jeffrey and CNS continue to lie about this provision?
WND Thinks People Getting Robbed Is 'Delicious'
A May 21 WorldNetDaily article by Jay Baggett carries the headline "Delicious irony at 'no guns allowed' restaurants." What was that "delicious irony"? A robbery:
The armed robber who shot and robbed a 20-year-old man outside this Houston Jack in the Box Sunday probably didn't know the fast-food chain had only nine days earlier banned guns at their restaurants.
Or maybe he didn't care.
Or maybe he realized his chances of encountering meaningful resistance were slim.
The shooting came on the heels of the chain capitulating to demands by the anti-gun activist group Mothers Demand Action that law-abiding gunowners be banned from bringing their weapons into the restaurants.
"Creating a warm and inviting environment for all of our guests and employees is a top priority for Jack in the Box," read the corporation's news release. "The presence of guns inside a restaurant could create an uncomfortable situation for our guests and employees and lead to unintended consequences. While we respect the rights of all our guests, we would prefer that guests not bring their guns inside our restaurants."
Unfortunately, defenseless customers create a "warm and inviting environment" for the wrong people.
How callous and amoral is WND that it finds schadenfreude in someone being the victim of a crime?
AIM's Kincaid Is Still Promoting Falsehood-Prone Joel Gilbert
Topic: Accuracy in Media
WorldNetDaily's Jerome Corsi is not the only right-winger who's sticking with Joel Gilbert.
Accuracy in Media's Cliff Kincaid follows in Corsi's footsteps by devoting a May 20 column to Gilbert's latest Obama-bashing film. Kincaid lionizes Gilbert as "the filmmaker who exposed Barack Obama's Marxist background, and debt to a pro-Soviet Communist Party operative," and proclaims that Gilbert's previous film, "Dreams From My Real Father," "examined the hidden history of America's first black president in a serious and matter-of-fact manner."
Kincaid, of course, refuses to acknowledge that "Dreams From My Real Father" has been utterly discredited and Gilbert himself exposed as a charlatan unconcerned with facts or reality. But Kincaid has always ignored that particular truth.
Kincaid works for an outfit called Accuracy in Media, yet he champions a filmmaker notorious for his inaccuracy. Funny, that.
The Perfect WND Storm: Corsi Quotes A Birther to Defend Criminal D'Souza
Jerome Corsi inadvertently reveals the ulterior motive for sticking up for admitted criminal Dinesh D'Souza and perpetuating the notion of an Obama conspiracy against him: He wants to help D'Souza cash in on his next movie.
Corsi writes in a May 20 WorldNetDaily article:
Getting prosecuted by the Obama Justice Department is likely to increase the box office for Dinesh D'Souza's new documentary, "America," scheduled to open in theaters July 4, according to some Hollywood observers.
If the Obama administration had calculated that a criminal prosecution would silence him, as some critics charge, D'Souza appears to have turned the tables. The early consensus is that D'Souza has affirmed the Hollywood truism about publicity.
Moreover, even if D'Souza is sentenced to prison, he remains out on bail until the fall, free to promote his upcoming documentary without restrictions.
Even better from a marketing point of view, D'Souza, by advancing the theme of "selective prosecution," has succeeded in positioning himself as yet another member of an Obama "enemies list" that extends far beyond the tea party.
"In Hollywood, any publicity, good or bad, is better than no publicity at all," said Bettina Viviano, a successful Hollywood producer who includes among her credits having worked as vice president of production for Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment.
She told WND that with "the IRS scandal targeting tea-party conservatives, a lot of people are on to the theme that the Obama administration targets its enemies."
"People are smart enough to know that Dinesh D'Souza was targeted by the Obama administration," she said.
Corsi doesn't mention that Viviano is a birther who got some right-wing ink claiming without evidence that Bill Clinton once claimed that Obama wasn't eligible to be president.
To sum up: Birther and Obama-hater Corsi quotes a fellow birther to defend an admitted criminal (and, yes, an Obama-hater). It's the quintessential WND article.

Our little Pippin died yesterday afternoon. It was very sudden, and very quick - a stroke most likely. He simply fell from the perch in his cage and was gone. Ken and I were both there in the room. I saw him fall and jumped up immediately to see what had happened, but there was nothing we could do. It's such a helpless feeling to stand by and watch a beloved pet die before your eyes. But I am so very grateful that we shared his company for six years, that we were there with him in the end, and that it was quick.
He was such a lovely, funny and dear little personality. He could always make us laugh. He will be missed very much.
I'm sorry you lost him. Beloved pets leave big holes in our lives when they are gone.
Thank you, hon. *hugs* Yes, they really do. We miss him a lot.
Oh,dear! I am so profoundly sorry!!! It is very sad to lose the dearest pet who brought all theirs love and devotion to you, making life more colourful and worth to cope. Please accept my deep and sincere condolences.I am sympathizing with you in your sorrow.
I'm so sorry. I loved Pippin too, and I never got to meet him in person. Their little lives are too short. But his was certainly a happy one.
Oh, thank you for saying that! *hugs* He was such a dear little guy, always so cute and funny. Yes, their lives are all too short for how much joy they bring into our lives.
I'm so sorry, but it does sound like a good end to a lovely life, which is all any of us can hope for.

River Street Waterfront: Water & City
BIG-BJARKE INGELS GROUP
The Brooklyn waterfront is continually evolving. What was once a soft shoreline of wetlands, marshes, shallows, beaches and tidal flats is now a series of elevated piers, bulkheads and physical barriers, compromising the relationship between water and city. Inspired by the opportunity to create a living waterfront, BIG's River Street Waterfront Master Plan vision, in collaboration with Two Trees Management and James Corner Field Operations, seeks to enhance the connectivity of the public waterfront, restore natural habitats, elevate the standard for urban waterfront resiliency and transform the way New Yorkers interact with the East River.
By deconstructing and re-naturalizing the built urban shoreline, the water's edge is expanded into the city, creating a beach that brings people out to the water. A circular path frames a protected cove, providing 360° panoramic views of Brooklyn and Manhattan. By extending landscape-piers to the concrete caissons existing today, breakwaters are created that dissipate wave action from river waves and wakes from boats. This protected cove will support in-water recreation such as swimming and boating, while mitigating the effects of storm surge on the neighborhood.
The expanded and enhanced shoreline creates six acres of new park space (including three acres of in-water programming), featuring an outdoor tidal classroom, tidal pools, picnic and hammock grove, and a nature walk. Habitat restoration addresses the biodiversity gap on the East River and builds off other initiatives in the region. This encourages the return of wildlife to the East River, which we are already beginning to see today.
The building footprint results from expanding the public realm, significantly increasing public park space while minimizing the building area at the ground level. Framing the new park are public-facing programs: a new 47,000 sf YMCA, 30,000 sf of neighborhood-oriented retail space and 4,500 sf of community occupied kiosks. The remainder of the two mixed-income buildings will provide 1,000 total units of housing, 250 of which will be below market rate. The residential towers are oriented to limit view obstruction from the neighborhood and maximize the Metropolitan Avenue view corridor. Blending the towers with the landscape softens the relationship between building and park, forming a gateway that welcomes the community to the water.
"Our proposal closes one of the last remaining gaps in the continuous transformation of the Williamsburg waterfront into a post-industrial natural habitat. Rather than stopping at the hard edge of the old dock, Metropolitan avenue is split into a pedestrian loop extending all the way in to the river, connecting the dots of the concrete caissons to form an urban archipelago of recreative islands while protecting a beach and body of water for water sports and wetlands. The radical transformation of Copenhagen's port into a swimmable extension of the public space that we helped pioneer two decades ago, now seems to be knocking at the door in Williamsburg and the entire East River. The River Loop will be the first of many invitations for New Yorkers to dip their toes in the water." Bjarke Ingels, Founding Partner & Creative Director.
"We investigated the opportunity to stretch the Williamsburg waterfront landward with a circular pier and protected cove for water-based activities, inviting New Yorkers to take back and enjoy the river as a social and ecological public amenity. Surrounded by a necklace of recreation, educational and commercial programs, we envision the historic piers to be renewed and teeming with life. The masterplan proposes splitting Metropolitan Avenue into two diagonal pathways that connect to the waterfront promenade, resulting in triangular building footprints with views to the East River. Two towers inspired by Williamsburg warehouses are injected with neighborhood-oriented retail at its base, while the traditional podium is replaced by cascading terraces that frame and soften the relationship to the park." Daniel Sundlin, Partner, BIG.

Twelve letters: Hagler Hearns. Or six letters: The War. However you spell it out, the magnificent fight that took place 34 years ago today is in a category all by itself. Middleweight king Marvelous Marvin Hagler, in his prime and tired of telling anyone who would listen he was the greatest fighter in the world, against Thomas "Hitman" Hearns, the ruling super-welterweight king and laying claim himself to being the pound-for-pound best in 1985.
With an incredible combined record of 100-3-2, Hagler and Hearns were willing to lay it all on the line, yet no-one knew just how much sheer ferocity would be witnessed inside the squared circle at a sold-out Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. When the bell rang, these two warriors, who had seriously gotten on each other's nerves in the long (too long for Hagler, who pretty much hated his media commitments) multi-city press tour to hype a fight that needed no hype, tore into one another in jaw-dropping fashion.
The usual feeling out process two top class fighters adopt in a bout was abandoned, Hagler and Hearns took it to the streets, but with skill. It was very much a hell for leather, 'I hit you, you hit me' slugfest, but the subtleties both special fighters were also displaying were, for those able to pay attention, hugely impressive (check out the quite brilliant "The War – The most explosive fight in boxing explained" on YouTube).
Hagler came out blazing and he was met by Hearns who was just as eager to trade and score the knockout. Hearns scored first blood, both in actuality and metaphorically. Hearns cracked Hagler with his right hand, stunning the champ and forcing him to hold on. Hearns also sliced open a nasty cut smack in the middle of Hagler's forehead. The opening three minutes sent shivers down the spine of any fight fan then, and they do exactly the same thing to fans choosing to pump themselves up by watching the fight today. It was epic, never to be surpassed stuff.
Hagler, though, shrugged off Hearns' right hand – which was crucially broken in the first round – and he fought through the blood. Stopping Hearns in the third-round, "the man showed his greatness tonight," a gracious Hearns would later say in defeat, Hagler finally got the praise he knew he was worthy of. Hearns too was applauded and celebrated, for he had more than played his part in the most two-sided three-round fight in middleweight history; if not in all of boxing history.
There will today no doubt be plenty of fans recalling the greatness that was unleashed in Vegas on this day in 1985. No fight has topped this one yet. No way.

Nu Ark Experiments Press Release
21 April 1998 at 9:00 am	(Film, Music, Shows, Spoken Word, Theatre, Workshops) ('blues for nina', 'Nu Ark Experiments', 'Open Palm Prayers', Arkology, Dennis Maddix, Doug Reed, Intermedia Arts, Kevin Washington, KFAI, Kona, Mankwe Ndosi, Markiss, Michael O'Brien, Miré Regulus, Rene Ford, Sam Favors, SASE, Tom Speath)
"Open Palm Prayers" Melds Music and Poetry
In Jazz-Influenced Show at Intermedia Arts, May 19, 1998
Performance Launches 'Nu Ark Experiments,' A 12-part Series
Exploring 'Force and Energy of the Oral Tradition'
A talented group of improvisational musicians and poets will demonstrate a new, multi-sensory approach to uniting word and music in performance, at an evening-length show called "Open Palm Prayers" on Tuesday, May 19, 1998. The performance takes place at 7:00 p.m. at Intermedia Arts, 2822 Lyndale Avenue South, Minneapolis. Tickets are $6, or $3 for Intermedia Arts Partners. Reservations may be made by calling (612) 871-4444.
The key to the performance concept is a jazz-influenced melding of poetry and music, according to organizer e.g. bailey, a member of the performance collective Arkology. "Our goal is to create a spoken word/music synthesis based in the aesthetic of the jazz ensemble," bailey said. "The work can originate in a word, a concept, an image, or a sound, and then each 'instrument,' including the voice, enters the ensemble on an equal footing and has an opportunity to lead and shape the experience."
"Open Palm Prayers" marks the first event in a 12-part series of innovative spoken word and musical events called Nu Ark Experiments. The aim, bailey said, is "to experiment with the presentation of spoken word by melding it with other art forms, including music, dance, and film." The series involves ten performances of set pieces and improvisational works, and two workshops designed to introduce others to improvisational techniques for blending art forms in performance. The performances and workshops will occur at several venues in the Twin Cities over the next ten months, beginning with "Open Palm Prayers" at Intermedia Arts.
At the core of the Nu Ark Experiments is a group of well-known, multi-talented artists, most of whom are members of the improvisational performance collective Arkology. At "Open Palm Prayers," for example, e.g. bailey will contribute his skills as a "verbalist," joined by Arkology members Kona (drummer), Dennis Maddix (bass), and writer/vocalists Mankwe Ndosi and Miré Regulus. The collective has also appeared with other Twin Cities musicians such as Kevin Washington, Rene Ford, Sam Favors, Markiss, Michael O'Brien, Doug Reed, and Tom Speath.
"We will explore forms and avenues not normally associated with spoken word, with the hope of bringing new life to poetry, and giving back to it the force and energy inherent in the oral tradition," said bailey.
The idea for the Nu Ark Experiments series originated with Blues for Nina, a 25-minute spoken-word/music performance about the famed singer Nina Simone that bailey presented for the opening of the 1997 Twin Cities Black Film Festival, in collaboration with five other artists. "The audience response to that piece as well as the music/word interaction in the rehearsal process motivated me to explore how to further develop this performance structure," bailey said.
Nu Ark Experiments is produced with support from a Cultural Collaborations Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. Co-sponsors for the series are SASE: The Write Place and Intermedia Arts, and KFAI Fresh Air Radio 90.3 FM Mpls/106.7 St. Paul.

1 March 1998 at 9:00 am	(Music, Recordings, Spoken Word) (Anika, Arkology, Brand New Heavies, Cabooze, Dennis Maddix, Doug Reed, Groove Garden Records, Groove Garden Sundays, Jen Downham, Kate Sullivan, Kevin Washington, Kiernan's Irish Pub, Kona, Larry Neal, Malo Adams, Mankwe Ndosi, Markiss, Mason Jennings, Michael O'Brien, Miré Regulus, Nikki Giovanni, Nina Simone, Rene Ford, Sam Favors, Selby Tigers, St. Paul Pioneer Press, Stevie Wonder, The Front, Tom Speath, Walker Art Center)
ARKOLOGY is a spoken word collective, which melds poetry with music. Our goal is to create a spoken word/music synthesis based in the aesthetic of the jazz ensemble where each instrument, including the voice, enters the ensemble on an equal footing and has an opportunity to lead and shape the resulting sound, creating a multi-sensory experience. The work originates, variously, in concept, word, image and/or sound. We perform original work, and the works of other writers and musicians, including Nikki Giovanni, Nina Simone, Larry Neal, and Stevie Wonder.
The collective was co-founded by members: e.g. bailey (verbalist), Mire Regulus (writer/vocalist), Kona (drums), Dennis Maddix (bass), Mankwe Ndosi (vocalist), ANIKA (vocalist), and Malo Adams (guitar). Currently performing with the collective are e.g. bailey, Mire Regulus, Kona, Dennis Maddix and Mankwe Ndosi. The collective has also performed with other Twin Cities musicians including Kevin Washington, Rene Ford, Sam Favors, Markiss, Michael O'Brien, Doug Reed and Tom Speath.
Arkology currently performs at Groove Garden Sundays at the Cabooze and will have upcoming performances at The Front and Kiernan's Irish Pub.
'That said, the five groups listed above each offer intelligent twists on their genres and, most important, share a commitment to simplicity and clarity of vision–be that the elegant authority of Mason Jennings, the poetic abstraction of the spoken-word/jazz collective Arkology, or the unironic teen-rebellion anthems of Selby Tigers.' – Kate Sullivan (St. Paul Pioneer Press)
'Arkology, a jazz/soul/spoken-word collective, has really come into its own over the last year…the group's Nikki Giovanni-meets-Brand New Heavies vibe has attracted more people each time I see them…' – Rachel Joyce (Walker Art Center)
'ARKOLOGY is spoken word and a hell of a rhythm section.' – Jen Downham (KFAI and Groove Garden Records)

Q: Available function for deletion of character from certain positions of a string I am looking for a function which performs delete operation on a string based on the position.
For example, given string is like that
string1 <- "hello stackoverflow"

Suppose, I want to delete 4th,10th and 18th positions.
Preferred Output
"helo stakoverflw"

I am not sure about the existence of such function.

A: This worked for me.
string1 <- "hello stackoverflow"
paste((strsplit(string1, "")[[1]])[-c(4,10,18)],collapse="")
[1] "helo stakoverflw"

I used strsplit to split the string into a vector of characters, and then pasted only the desired characters back together into a string.
You could also write a function that does this:
delChar <- function(x,eliminate){
  paste((strsplit(x,"")[[1]])[-eliminate],collapse = "")
}

delChar(string1,c(4,10,18))
[1] "helo stakoverflw"

Summary – Why the change and what does it mean for you?
The world of data collection is changing. An ever-growing need for data protection and privacy online is leading to new data protection laws such as the GDPR in the EU and the new GDPR in Switzerland (from mid-2023).
Big players like Google, Apple, Meta and Microsoft are reacting to the growing need for anonymity with corresponding software updates, such as Apple's iOS 14 update or ad blockers activated by default in browsers.
Data protection is very important, but nevertheless these changes have repeatedly presented the digital marketing world with new challenges in recent years. Website and campaign tracking is becoming increasingly unreliable in the tools used to date. The data gaps in tools such as Universal Analytics are widening as a result of the above measures. Conversions are becoming harder to attribute, target groups are becoming less precise and targeting options are limited.
Google's answer to this data gap problem is Google Analytics 4. Since October 2020 GA4 is no longer in the beta phase and is the new Google standard.
What does the change to Google Analytics 4 mean for you?
In March 2022, Google announced that all Universal Analytics properties will stop collecting data in July 2023 and that all data will be deleted at the end of 2023. So, our historical data from before that date will no longer be available.
The most pressing questions probably are:
Will it be possible to transfer the data from Universal Analytics to Google Analytics 4 Property? The answer is: No. A completely new ledger will be opened, and data collection will start all over again.
Will you lose your data? Yes, your data will no longer be available in Analytics from the end of 2023.
What can you do to not lose the data collected in UA? The data from Universal Analytics can be exported to a data warehouse so that you still have access to the data even after Universal Analytics has been completely discontinued.
This means that the sooner you can make the move to GA4, the better! The more data you have already collected in the GA4 Property before the end of your UA Property, the easier the move will be.
The new Analytics Generation – How does Google Analytics 4 work and what are the benefits?
Unlike UA, GA4 no longer works with "hit" data based on page views, but with machine learning models and can therefore collect and predict traffic data and visitor behaviour based on "events".
The privacy-friendly approach is combined with predictive data from artificial intelligence (AI). This allows gaps to be closed that are created by the data protection measures mentioned above.
In GA4, every action performed on the website is thus tracked as an event. This makes it necessary to rethink the way we set up our website tracking, because the new approach not only allows us more flexibility in setting up tracking, but also more ownership.
The three fundamental changes in the way GA4 works in a nutshell:
Data model: The main measure changes from hits to events and a new measurement protocol enables cross-device tracking
Machine learning/modelling: Data gaps are closed, predictions can be made, and trends are being identified at an early stage
User life cycle and User centricity: From acquisition to conversion to customer retention, the user can be tracked across devices and channels via web and app.
What are the advantages of the change to Google Analytics 4?
GA4 offers new analytics approaches with machine learning techniques.
Data gaps are closed with new modelling approaches.
GA4 will also work without cookies in the future.
GA4 offers better data control than Universal Analytics. IP addresses, for example, are automatically anonymised.
It includes automatically recorded and recommended events.
Google is creating a future-oriented solution to compensate for the ever-increasing effect of data protection measures. Marketers need to rethink and get used to the new requirements and tools, the sooner the better.
Conclusion: GA4 is simpler, faster, and more versatile
Our Recommendation: Prompt Action will pay off.
At this point in time (September 2022), we recommend running a GA4 property in parallel with the UA property. The reason for this is that GA4 is still being developed further and does not yet contain all the functions that we are used to from Universal Analytics.
Google will delete all data from Google Universal Analytics at the end of 2023! This means that all historical data will be lost from this date. The data collection process itself will already be stopped as of July 2023.
We therefore recommend that you implement the changeover to GA4, including the backup of the previous Universal Analytics data, as soon as possible to avoid data loss. Furthermore, the more data available, the better the new machine learning algorithms and modelling features integrated in GA4 will work. Prompt action will pay off.
Together with Your Sidekicks, BI Concepts supports you in this process, helps you to back up the old UA data, link it to the new GA4 data and visualise it nicely. This leaves you more time for the implementation of insights.


Nina Simone said that she'd rather have people remember her for her album Nina Simone 'And Piano!' than for her surprise hit 'My Baby Just Cares For Me'. And when you listen to the album, you fully understand why.
This is Nina Simone stripped bare; an introspective, intimate album about death, reincarnation, loneliness and love.

Screaming Trees is considered as one of the ''Godfathers of Grunge''. Screaming Trees rose to fame as part of the grunge movement of the early 1990s, along with bands such as Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Nirvana.
We are proud to present you with their 7th and final album "Dust". 'Kerrang!' Magazine selected Dust as the best album of 1996 in their year-end awards.
In the early 1960s, The Chambers Brothers, four brothers from Mississippi, started to venture outside the gospel circuit, playing at coffeehouses that booked folk acts. The group became part of the wave of new music that integrated American blues and gospel traditions with modern psychedelic and rock elements, spawning a heady mix integrating all these factors.
The Chambers Brothers are best known for their 1968 hit record, the 11-minute long epic 'Time Has Come Today'.

Lok Sabha passes bill on pharmaceutical education institutes, Rajya Sabha sees repeated adjournments
New Delhi [India], December 7 (ANI): The Lok Sabha on Monday passed a bill to enhance the status of six pharmaceutical education institutes while the Rajya Sabha witnessed repeated adjournments over the demand of opposition members for revoking the suspension of 12 members.
Home Minister Amit Shah made a statement in both the Houses on the unfortunate killing of 13 civilians in Nagaland by security forces on Saturday. He said it was "a case of mistaken identity" and that a special investigation team (SIT) has been formed with direction to submit its report within one month.
The Home Minister also said that all agencies should ensure that no such unfortunate incident recurs in future while undertaking operations against insurgents.
In the Rajya Sabha, the opposition members continued their protests during the statement by the Home Minister.
Lok Sabha witnessed normal working with members raising issues of their concern.
The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Amendment) Bill, 2021 was introduced in the House.
The Lower House of Parliament also passed a bill to declare six institutes of Pharmaceutical Education and Research as institutes of national importance and to provide for a council to ensure the development of pharmaceutical education and research.
Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya replied to the debate on the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (Amendment) Bill, 2021.
The bill seeks to amend the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research Act, 1998 under which NIPER at Mohali in Punjab was declared an institute of national importance.
The Act was subsequently amended in 2007 to empower the Central Government to establish similar national institutes in different parts of the country and six new institutes were established at Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Hajipur, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Raebareli in 2007-08.
The bill provides that every institute established after the commencement of the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (Amendment) Act, 2021 shall also be an institution of national importance.
The bill seeks to rationalise the board of governors of each such institute from its existing strength of 23 to 12 members and widen the scope and number of courses run by such institutes.
The Rajya Sabha saw five adjournments with opposition members refusing to participate in the short discussion on inflation.
Members of Congress, DMK, Trinamool Congress, TRS, AAP and the Left continued their protest the entire day. Some of them also came to the well of the House. The Chair repeatedly urged them to take their places.
Twelve opposition members were suspended for "unruly conduct" on the last day of the monsoon session of parliament.
The suspended members comprise six from the Congress, two each from Trinamool Congress and Shiv Sena, and one each from CPI and CPI-M. They have been protesting near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in parliament.
The government has conveyed that they should apologise or express regret for a way forward out of the impasse. (ANI)

How to Turn a Window Into a Mirror With Less Than $20!
Old windows tend to be really easy to find and happen to make some of the coolest decorations! Using a window as a decoration is unique and inexpensive and adds an awesome touch to whatever space you put it into. It is even better because older windows have a natural rustic and vintage look to them that adds really great character into almost any space and at a fraction of the cost of so many other vintage and rustic options.
With all that being said, it might seem almost a little odd to just hang up a window on the wall. After all, why would you want to look through a window pane just to see plain old wall being it. That isn't interesting or unique. Fortunately, there is a really awesome, unique, easy, and even inexpensive way to fix that problem! There is a super easy technique that you can use in order to turn any window, or any piece of clear glass really, into a mirror!
By turning the panes of an old window into mirrors, you create a super awesome and unique piece of décor that will look great almost anywhere! It adds a really sweet, modern touch to a rustic and/or vintage piece of décor. That means that it really will go great in a wonderful variety of different spaces. The other cool thing about this is that you can use any window to do it. It doesn't matter how big or small or what shape the window is or even how many panes it has. This is extremely simple to do with literally any piece of clear glass.
Since you will be using spray paint, you will definitely want to do this project outdoors. The first thing you will need to do is lay out something on the ground or a table to place the window on top of before you start spraying. You can use a tarp for this, or if you don't have a tarp, you can use a large trash bag or disposable tablecloth or anything else that you are okay with getting the spray paint on. If you use a trash bag, you can cut the sides open in order to make a larger surface for your window to rest on.
Place your window on your tarp or whatever you decide to place down before the window. You will need to clean the glass before you start the process of spraying it. This is a very important step because you don't want to spray on top of any dirt or smudges because the spray will seal it onto the glass.
Sprayway Glass Cleaner Aerosol Spray is a really awesome glass cleaner that is very effective, affordable, and smells great. Alternatively, if you are looking for something more natural, Method's Naturally Derived Glass + Surface Cleaner is also effective and affordable.
Quite possibly the most important thing to remember when doing this project is that you want to spray the OPPOSITE side of the glass that you plan to display. So, if side A is the side you want to be showing, you will spray side B of the window. That means you will clean the opposite side of the glass that you want to display. Once it is nice, clean, and completely dry, you can go ahead and start spraying. It is very important to read the instructions on your mirror spray paint. There are two different brands of this mirror spray paint that are absolutely excellent choices and come in well under $20.
Krylon's Looking Glass spray is super awesome and works incredibly well. It is very easy to use and comes with excellent instructions. Alternatively, you can get amazing results with Rust-Oleum's Mirror Effect Spray, which is even more affordable at almost half the price of Krylon's version. Both spray's have very similar instructions which are extremely important to follow for best results. The first step after you clean the glass is to shake the can of mirror spray paint very well. You will want to shake it for a good 2-3 minutes.
After shaking the can of mirror spray very well, you can remove the lid and commence the spraying process. You will want to hold the can about 8-10 inches away from the glass and take your time to make sure you spray the entire glass surface evenly. Spray a single light layer of the mirror spray and then allow it to dry for one minute. At that point, you will spray another layer of the mirror spray paint in the same way. Repeat this at least 3 times, but up to 5 times. Make sure that you do wait the full minute of time between each layer of the spray paint. This will ensure the best results.
Since you are spraying the back of your window, it probably won't matter much if the spray paint is getting on the wood of the window. However, if that is something you are worried about, you can simply cover the wood before you spray. An easy and quick way to do this is by using painter's tape such as FrogTape Multi-Surface Painting Tape. It not only is very affordable but also comes off super easy once you are done painting.

Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti has demanded 'courage, intelligence and heart' from his team as they attempt to overturn a two-goal deficit against Arsenal in the Europa League quarter-finals.
'In three words, we need courage, intelligence and heart,' Ancelotti said.
'I saw only a little courage in the early stages of the first game. Intelligence, I saw in both halves of the match. Heart is something we will put in on Thursday.
'In addition, we need a significant dose of intensity. We must seize this opportunity, we need a positive mental attitude and, I repeat, a lot of heart.
Napoli went into a so-called 'ritiro' – where the team are confined to the club's training complex or hotel – after their 3-1 Serie A win at Chievo on Sunday, although Ancelotti said he was not in favour.
'Were the players against it? No, in reality, it was me who didn't want it,' he said.

Helping you design an iconic identity to last a lifetime.
Conceptualization of a logo and iconic identity is my all time favourite thing to design because of the creative opportunity to brand a company or organization. With the clients vision and their company philosophy and the right design expertise, a stellar symbolic brand is created. I've designed many different logo's over the years, learning a thing or two about how to effectively design an identity so it lasts a lifetime. I would like to share with you 5 simple and easy tips to consider when designing a logo.
It's always best to sketch out ideas. Sometimes I will sketch 50+ concepts and pick out the strongest sketches to use for a semi-composition. Sketching will get your juices flowing and you'll notice the design concepts will gradually change and progress where a first and last sketch comparison will be completely different. Sketches are also beneficial because they save time before moving to a computer to start the identity illustration. Plus, you can trace the best sketches – an added bonus to sketching ideas first. Why not check out the blog article why it's important to create thumbnail designs outlining some other benefits of sketching.
I have to admit, I'm a minimalist when designing identities. Have you ever heard the saying "less is more"? Well this expression applies when designing a logo too. By no means am I bashing intricate logos because with proper execution they are beautiful, but after studying iconic identities you'll notice the symbols are simple. Keeping it simples allows you to easily reproduce the identity on any medium – paper, screen, t-shirts, jackets, hats or even pens.
I get excited when I get to pick the colour swatches for an identity, and if you share the same excitement as I do, be careful not to rush into colour selections before you have perfected the identity in black and white. If your design doesn't work in black and white, then it's not going to look much better in colour, even if you think it will. Sometimes your logo will have to be used in black and white colour because printing in colour won't be an option. So it's best to make sure you have a solid design that works in black and white.
Scale the logo down and scale it up. The reason for this is you'll see how rendering details get lost if the logo is scaled down to a super duper tiny size or if the rendering is poor because of a monstrous size. Keep this in mind when a logo may be reproduced on different mediums. I know for sure when anything is embroidered the little details get lost and look mangled together.
The more colours you add the more expensive that logo becomes. If you're printing with PMS (Pantone Matching System) swatches remind the client of printing costs. If a client wants a six or seven colour logo and you can't convince them to simplify the colour scheme, then run with it. But if you do have creative control with the colour scheme keep it to a maximum of three. Again, less is more.
Well, there you have it folks! 5 easy and simple tips to consider when designing an iconic identity. If you want to read more about logos then check out some of our blogs that showcase various iconic identities.

The 5 people you will DEFINITELY meet at LFW
Rather like the capital itself, London Fashion Week draws a myriad of people from all around the world, and that's part of its enduring charm. Indigenous tribal prints meet traditional Italian tailoring. Chic, camel-clad Parisians rub shoulders with super-cute, candy-coloured Harajuku girls. There's the normcore Scandis, the East London hipsters, the diehard fashion fanatics…and, well, you get the idea. But among the various trend collectives are a few more colourful characters that pop up year-on-year without fail. Introducing the 5 people you will DEFINITELY meet at LFW this weekend…
The First-Timer
Jane's read ALL the guides; from 7 ways to get noticed at London Fashion Week through to the 5 things every fashionista will be wearing at LFW this year. She's tried on her outfit eleven times, perfected her pose in the mirror and has even memorised the faces of all the top bloggers, should she accidentally *takes selfie* bump into one. But having cram-revised every report on WGSN for the last three nights straight, come the day, Jane's a shivering, trend-mumbling mess. It's her GCSE maths exam all over again.
The Resident just-walking-through Londoner
Sarah's got a meeting to get to…five minutes ago. Brewer Street's the fastest way to get there, and she's not about to divert her route for the sake of a few fashion junkies. Heel-toe, heel-toe, she picks up the pace, and charges straight through the flock…shoulders back, head held high, stone-cold indifference on her face. And then something amazing happens. She gets papped! Sarah slows to a halt, unpins her super-streamlined hair-do, and suddenly she's striking poses like no one's business. Meeting? What meeting…?
The Attention-seekers
Tyler and Dwayne were up all night making their Transformer-esque Lego space masks. Yes, they wasted the first hour arguing over who would get to wear the black one, but having finally agreed that they swap masks halfway through the day, it was full steam ahead. And judging by the reaction, it was well worth the blood, sweat and…um…tears.
As the pair bask in the flash of cameras, fame-hungry Emma looks on in utter disbelief; next year, she'll save the £1000 she spent on designer labels, and instead nip down to her local toy shop.
The Ironists
That's ironists, not ironers. Ironers use irons, ironists don't, until it comes to LFW…that is. Having wrapped the chord of a Bosche easy-glide around his neck, to match the scuba mask on his face, the ballet tutu around his middle and the novelty Homer Simpson slippers on his feet, John's making what he thinks is a highly original, highly poignant comment on the fashion industry. Namely, that anyone can be papped as long as they wear an outlandish-enough outfit…and John's right, though his shots won't be making it into the same section as fash-blogger, Lucy, over there. Deep-down though, he loves the limelight just as much as the rest of us, and once the camera's start flashing, he sort of wishes he wore something a little more…fashionable.
The Instagram Husbands
For the first few years, John rebelled against his role as wife, Pippa's permanent photographer. He'd slip the odd thumb into shot, or "accidentally" forget to pack an SD card for the day. Now he just accepts it. Heck, he even agreed to attend photography lessons….but then again, he could hardly make a scene on Christmas day when he received the lovingly-wrapped course coupon. With glazed eyes and mechanical gestures, he snaps away. And under no circumstances is he allowed to talk to the other Instagram husbands there…or, as Pippa calls them; the enemy.
Met any wacky individuals yourself at London Fashion Week? Jot them down in the comment box below and we'll be sure to look out for them! And if you are heading down to Brewer Street this weekend, make sure you check out LFW survival guide, sharing 7 top tips to help you stand out from the crowd!

Pulse+IT website access now available
Written by Simon James on 13 October 2015 .
This post is devoted entirely to our new website, which launched a few weeks ago with quite a few additional features and refinements to be rolled out in the weeks ahead.
Whether it be as a reader or as an advertiser, our plans for the new website are more than cosmetic so please take the time to review this post and be sure to get in touch if you have any queries or feedback.
Beyond rolling out a new web server, new content management system and new visuals, the biggest development related to the new Pulse+IT website is our decision to start restricting access to selected content to paid subscribers, a process that commenced earlier in the week.
A quick note about Pulse+IT eNewsletters
Before I get to the specifics of the website, please note that the Pulse+IT eNewsletter service to which you may currently be subscribed remains free.
With subscribers at the time of writing and a trajectory pointing to 17,000 by Christmas, we have no plans to change our eNewsletter model and look forward to welcoming our 20,000th subscriber at some stage in 2016.
The only thing to be aware of in relation to the Pulse+IT eNewsletter service is that an increasing number of the articles referenced in our eNewsletters will link through to articles reserved for readers with Pulse+IT website access.
Some background
Having ceased publication of our printed magazine at the end of 2014, the introduction of a subscriber model for the Pulse+IT website has been something I've been working towards throughout the year in consultation with three of the membership organisations that supported our print offering over many years.
Pulse+IT derives most of its revenue from a diverse range of advertisers who purchase web banners, eNewsletter banners, eDMs, directory listings and webinars, however I have always felt that publishing teams perform at their best when their readership plays a direct role in the financial model of the publication.
With print publishing in rapid decline and online publications of all shapes and sizes struggling to make ends meet, I'm pleased to report that Pulse+IT has the confidence to continue to invest in independent journalism to the benefit of our readers and the health sectors in which they work.
By transitioning the Pulse+IT website to a paid service at this time, I'm seeking to ensure the viability of comprehensive reporting of eHealth and Health IT in Australia and New Zealand for many years to come, and look forward to your support in this endeavour.
So what's the deal?
To maintain access to all articles on the Pulse+IT website, individuals can purchase a subscription for $90+GST per year (three and six month options are also available). With Pulse+IT publishing around 60 articles each month and with the majority of these stories being exclusively covered by Pulse+IT, I'm confident you will agree this offer represents great value.
Before you pull out the credit card, keep the following in mind:
1. You may already have access as a member of AAPM / HIMAA / HISA
Members of AAPM, HIMAA and HISA and receive complimentary access to the Pulse+IT website as part of Pulse+IT's partnership arrangements with these organisations. Usernames and passwords for all current financial members of these organisations have been allocated, however if you are a member and have not received your details, search your inbox (or junk mail) for an email from "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it." or try performing a password reminder at the website using the email address your association has for you on file as your username. Note this may be a different address to the one you are using for the Pulse+IT eNewsletter service. Failing that, contact Pulse+IT and we will investigate.
2. You may already have access if your organisation advertises with Pulse+IT
If your organisation is a current Pulse+IT advertiser, you are entitled to a complimentary subscription for as long as your organisation remains a supporter of the publication. I have contacted all current Pulse+IT advertisers and commenced the process of issuing usernames and passwords to the staff members that have been nominated for website access, but if you haven't received your credentials, contact Pulse+IT and we will be happy to assist.
3. If you aren't currently a Pulse+IT advertiser, joining the Pulse+IT Directory is a cost effective way to get both promotional exposure and website access
If you are considering a subscription and work for an organisation that doesn't currently advertise with Pulse+IT, keep in mind that the entry point for an organisational listing in the Pulse+IT Directory is just $500+GST per year. Accordingly if you work for an organisation pitching products or services to the health sector, it is likely to make both financial and promotional sense to undertake a Pulse+IT Directory listing, and in turn receive complimentary website subscriptions for yourself and your colleagues.
