Q: What prevents me from writing a bootkit that uses a recognized UEFI key? As far as I know, UEFI Secure Boot works this way (more or less): for certain operating systems to boot, they must be signed with a key that is checked by UEFI at every boot. If a bootkit replaces the operating system, the check will fail and the system installed by the bootkit will never run.
However, if I write a bootkit that targets Windows 8, and if I insert Windows 8's key inside the bootkit, will the bootkit work? If so, why is Secure Boot considered safe? If not, why?

A: A malware author (let's call him Mel) can't just copy the keys from an existing boot loader; he has to get his own binary signed with a private key that's held by Microsoft. That said, Microsoft is signing binaries for third parties -- OS developers (Red Hat, Canonical, etc.) and even individuals are getting binaries signed. To do this, you've got to submit paperwork and pay a $99 fee to Verisign. Thereafter, Microsoft will sign the binaries you provide. I have no idea if they do any sort of virus scanning on them, though; if so, it's conceivable that some malware would be caught before it could be distributed.
Let's suppose, though, that Mel gets a malware binary signed and begins distributing it. Eventually, it'll be spotted by security researchers or detected by users, and somebody will notice it's been signed with Microsoft's key. At that point, Microsoft will be notified and will release a Windows update that will add that specific binary to a blacklist so that it will no longer boot on any machine that's received regular security updates. Microsoft will also then know that Mel is the author, since they'll presumably keep a copy of everything they sign in case of such problems. There'll be a paper trail, including things like the credit card number that was used to pay for the services and a snail-mail address used for correspondence. Presumably Microsoft will hand all that over to the authorities, and Mel will end up being visited by the police.
Of course, it's possible to imagine scenarios where a sufficiently motivated individual or criminal organization could avoid suffering such consequences -- they could use a stolen credit card to pay Verisign, use a temporary address that's not easily traced to them, etc. A US national spy agency like the NSA or CIA might also be able to intervene to get spyware or sabotage software like Flame signed. I expect that we'll see both of these things happen in the fullness of time.
The bottom line: Secure Boot puts up a hurdle for malware authors to overcome, but it's not an insurmountable one. It's just one move in a long-standing game between malware authors and OS vendors (primarily Microsoft). It has the potential to improve security, but it remains to be seen how well it will work.

Q: Inputing and printing a 2D array I am just starting to dive into 2D arrays and I am having some trouble why my output is producing a line of data rather than the dimensional matrix. All help is appreciated! Thank you!!
My code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {

int x, y, i, j;
int m[10][10];

setvbuf(stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0);

while (1) {
    printf("Number of rows? ");
    scanf("%d", &x);
    if (x == 0)
        break;
    printf("Number of columns? ");
    scanf("%d", &y);

    printf("Enter matrix values row by row: \n");
    for (i = 0; i < x; i++) {
        for (j = 0; j < y; j++) {
            scanf("%d", &(m[i][j]));
        }
    }
printf("Matrix read:\n");
    for (i = 0; i < x; i++) {
        for (j = 0; j < y; j++) {
            printf("%d", m[i][j]);
        }
    }

Imputed data:
Number of rows? 2
Number of columns? 2
Enter matrix values row by row:
1 2 3 4

Output:
Matrix read:
1234

A: To figure out why your current program is printing the line, go through the printing loop, and look at all points where you are printing the values.
You will notice that it will be something like this:

print "1", print "2", print "3", print "4".

So, the program just does that. It prints the numbers without any other "formatting" around.
You can do something like this:
printf("Matrix read:\n");
for (i = 0; i < x; i++) {
    for (j = 0; j < y; j++) {
        printf("%d ", m[i][j]);
    }
    printf("\n");
}

Notice there's a space after the number in the literal "%d ".
And then, notice that a new line is printed after every inner for loop (which corresponds to a row).
Note: You may want to use more descriptive names. Eg: row instead of x
 and column instead of y.

A: Your program is perfectly fine. It is printing the matrix in correct order too. However if you just want to format the output in a matrix format, just print "\t" and "\n" after the inner and outer loop respectively.
for (i = 0; i < x; i++) {
    for (j = 0; j < y; j++) {
        printf("%d\t", m[i][j]);
    }
    printf("\n");
}

Abstract: Changing user behaviour to encourage positive attitudes towards adopting new workflows and digital asset management (DAM) systems can make or break the success of the DAM in any organisation. This article aims to focus on the art of interpersonal communication via heuristic models, which reflect the dirt in the trenches of everyday work in a real-life corporate setting. References will be drawn from popular publications as examples of highly accessible resources that can be easily understood and accepted by non-academics performing the daily functions with DAM, and by people who use assets managed in a DAM. Understanding the power and ubiquity of habits is key to breaking through the barrier of DAM user adoption. This article also aims to inspire DAM administrators and decision makers to focus on the people (users) first, technology (DAM) second, and with the realisation that change is an ever-evolving process, which requires patience and time.

On the PC, I used a free TightVNC server for screeencasting. Students connected to it from the class PCs with a free viewer app and saw my demonstrations in a window, but could not do anything on my desktop.
I am able to connect from a PC to macOS's built-in VNC server if I supply a password (VNC viewers may control screen with password) in System preferences. However in this case, after connecting and entering this password, I am presented with the normal Mac login screen, after which I am controlling my Mac. I need a view-only connection.
If the password box is unchecked, TightVNC Viewer fails to connect, saying No security types supported. Server sent security types, but we do not support any of theirs.
TigerVNC does not have a server for macOS, only viewer. RealVNC is paid and seems to use the cloud to connect clients to their VNC server, which I'd rather do without, after all, we're on the same LAN in class. VineServer (osxvnc) seems to be abandoned and anyway crashes immediately upon start.
Apple's screen sharing is designed around security, so having multiple views in would be my last resort.
How about something like Skype for Business / MS Teams / Google Hangouts. None are truly free - you are selling access and attention to Google if you use their option and Microsoft charges for O365 to host the meeting tools. There are dozens of other collaboration tools like Slack that also enable sharing as well as the vendors like WebEx, Zoom, GoToMeeting, TeamViewer and handfuls of other startup / smaller collaboration tools.

Home Method, Not Madness – Partnering for a True Zero Waste factory
Method, Not Madness – Partnering for a True Zero Waste factory
As part of Rockwell's Automation Fair, IE was given a guided tour of the Method soap factory - one of the most forward-looking manufacturing facilities in the US
Method factory
On first sight, Chicago's Pullman District may not seem like the place you might expect to find one of the United States' most progressive factories. Passing a giant Walmart and dilapidated buildings on a once prosperous brownfield site in a deprived suburb of the country's third largest city, the first sign is a large 600 kW wind turbine. As the factory itself comes into view, it's unmissable with its façade of unpainted concrete adorned with rows of brightly coloured banners. Three large solar panels rise above the parking lot, giving shade to the cars parked beneath on sunny days.
Housed inside this unassuming yet colourful former steel mill is the Method factory. One of the People Against Dirty brands, owned by S C Johnson, Method manufactures design-driven home, fabric and personal care products formulated with naturally derived, biodegradable ingredients. To put it in the company's own words, it "puts the hurt on dirt without doing harm to people, creatures or the planet."
And it doesn't stop there. As IE learned from the hours spent speaking, listening and watching the facility at work, Method is rewriting the rule book on manufacturing – and it's succeeding.
Following the acquisition by Belgian eco-cleaning product company Ecover in 2012, Method found that it had the financial muscle to become what it wanted to be – at the vanguard of green industry - with a facility that is the physical embodiment of the company's philosophy.
Two guys and a bathtub
Method was founded by roommates Adam Lowry and Eric Ryan. "Your classic two guys, bathtub, made a product, went out and sold it story," explained Kirk Jaglinski, Director of Engineering & Technical Services.
The pair were part of the soap industry for a while before branching out on their own. They wanted to disrupt the industry and make something without the levels of harmful chemicals used in traditional soaps and detergents.
As Jaglinksi explained: "For example, a lot of sanitation is done using bleach. If you look at bleach, it has a lot of negative environmental impacts."
"The idea is making it safer, friendlier and more environmentally responsible through the whole chain. Because that's the point. We want to make it safe to the point where you could ingest it," he added.
There are stories that in some of the early sales pitches, one of the founders used to actually drink the all-purpose-cleaner from the bottle to demonstrate its safety and chemical-free credentials.
Partnering with Rockwell Automation
Logistically, maximising efficiency, along with the usual issues for manufacturing is a mammoth task, not easier by the increasingly varied demands of customers. With such a vast array of products on the market and outlets to sell them in, getting the technology right is a key priority, which is where Rockwell Automation comes in.
Steve Mulder, Regional Segment Manager of CBG at Rockwell North America remarked: "Take the example of groceries sold at gas stations, grocery stores, pharmacies. With so many options, it's a big job from a production standpoint. And it's all to meet the changing consumer needs and preferences."
"This challenge translates to some interesting things on the floor."
Rockwell's involvement with Method was to "connect people's imagination with the potential of machines. We want to be the enabler," he added.
Method inside
The world's only LEED platinum factory
It's understandable why this project is an exciting one for those involved. This is not your standard soap factory. This is the world's only LEED platinum soap factory. And the company has clearly taken the effort to go the extra mile. This is reinforced with a second accolade – following an 18-month waste analysis by the US Green Building Council, Method was awarded a second platinum status, for "True Zero Waste" - the first factory to be awarded both honours.
The attention to detail in terms of environmental impact is noticeable, and the more you learn, the more impressive it becomes. South-facing windows and skylights to let the natural light in; "bringing the outdoors in instead of creating light through electricity," as Production Director, Shannon McCann put it.
Looking outside those windows, we learn that the ground had to be decontaminated from the residue of its steelmaking past. The vegetation surrounding the building is comprised of native grasses and shrubs – giving the piece of land in front of the factory a look and feel more akin to that which would have been in that spot for centuries before the arrival of European settlers some two centuries prior. There are spots allocated for beekeeping, thus aiding pollination, and the land is also home to a lot of snakes, who take shelter in the warmth of the building's foundations during the winter months.
The Method plant is heated entirely by heat from the machines. Even in the depth of winter, the machine's produce enough heat to keep things toasty.
All the soap made in this facility uses natural, biodegradable ingredients, but this isn't just a soap factory, it makes its own packaging too. Method stopped buying in plastic bottles from suppliers and now all bottles are made onsite from 100% recycled plastic, along with the film that wraps it too. The whole process is dealt with onsite and even the delivery trucks use biodiesel.
Method factory floor
Gotham Greens on the roof
Part of the building's design criteria was the greenhouse on the roof. "Bringing food into a food desert," said McCann.
The building boasts the world's largest commercial rooftop greenhouse, run by Gotham Greens. "It's about using every possible space of a building. A lot of buildings should look into rooftop greenhouses," he said. The 7,000 metre (75,000 sq. ft) facility provides much of Chicago with freshly bagged mixed salad throughout the year.
The site has been the location for grand industrial ideas before. Pullman was a planned model industrial town, built in the 1880s, for workers at the Pullman Palace Car Company, which left the area in 1955.
The factory follows architect William McDonough's Cradle to Cradle concept right through to its conclusion. Every aspect is constantly tweaked to improve efficiency, reduce waste and, not only lessen or neutralise environmental impact, but to actually give back to the surroundings. When the time comes for the building to be demolished, everything is already in place for repurposing. The concrete, the steel, the pipes – everything that the building is made from can be reused to utilise its current attributes to take on a new life.
70% of the workforce comes from the surrounding ZIP codes, giving people from a deprived part of Chicago an opportunity for training, employment and the opportunity to be part of a truly progressive force in US industry.
One of the things that really comes across during the visit is that passion within the people who work there. Shannon's pride in the factory is palpable as he sums up Method's purpose "we want to make products that people can be proud to have in their home and we're going to keep getting better."

Know Your Small Conference Winners: UNC-Asheville Bulldogs
By Dave Ryan Mar 6, 2011, 5:08pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Know Your Small Conference Winners: UNC-Asheville Bulldogs
The bids keep rolling in, and the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs are your automatic qualifiers from the Big South Conference after a 13-point win over Coastal Carolina. Saturday's victory marked the second time in as many weeks that the Bulldogs knocked off the conference-leading Chanticleers, making their trip to the 2011 NCAA Tournament all the more sweet.
Asheville's last trip to the dance was back in 2003 after a 14-16 regular season that was capped off by a comparable run in the Big South Tournament. The Bulldogs went on to beat Texas Southern in the 64/65 play-in game that year, and then were lucky enough to get blown out by No. 1 Texas to end their season.
Home to underground highlight machine John Williams, aka "The Masked Dunker", this UNCA team is comprised of two seniors, five juniors, four sophomores, and three freshman. Williams, one of the two elder statesmen, might be the most popular guy on the team because of his filthy dunking, but the core of this offense is built around a trio of juniors and nifty ball movement.
A breakdown after the jump...
Location: Asheville, North Carolina
Enrollment: 3,609
Record: 19-13 (11-7)
Leading scorers: Matt Dickey (15.3 ppg); J.P. Primm (14.4); Chris Stephenson (9.4)
What to know:
Opened the season with a 70-69 OT win over Auburn despite trailing by 16 at halftime. Lost road games to North Carolina, Georgetown, and Ohio State by a combined 73 points.
Offensively, everything feeds through leading scorers Dickey and Primm. Both are solid bets to drain a couple of three-pointers most nights, but can be erratic from deep against longer defenders. Primm especially struggled with his shot down the stretch.
Pesky defenders are everywhere. The Bulldogs are ranked 10th in the country in defensive turnover percentage (24.5%). Nine players on the roster average at least 0.50 steals per game. The 6'4" John Williams is one of the game's most dangerous weakside shot blockers.
Leading rebounder D.J. Cunningham (7.5 rpg) missed the Big South title game because of an injured ankle. At the moment his status for the NCAA tourney is still up in the air. Only a sophomore, Cunningham (6'10", 240 lbs) is the lone player taller than 6'8" on UNCA's roster, and against an elite school likely to have a dominant big man or two, the Bulldogs could be helpless on the interior without him.
Projected seed: #16. The Bulldogs are peaking at the right time and present an interesting defensive look because of how active they are. But against teams that make a point to close out on shooters, the 1-2 punch of Dickey and Primm has struggled to find the bottom of the net. The Bulldogs certainly have the ability to put a couple of decent runs together and scare somebody early on, but a debilitating lack of size makes it hard to believe they can compete with a No. 1 or No. 2 seed for a full 40-minute game.

Standard term life insurance policies with a wide variety of riders.
Primerica Financial Services, also called Prime America, offers fairly standard term life insurance coverage at rates that are a bit higher than average. While the company's sales tactics receive criticism, Primerica has a great financial strength rating and is prompt in paying claims.
Primerica offers a variety of options when it comes to their term policies but doesn't have alternatives for those that want whole life insurance or other permanent life insurance products. In addition, their agents are captive, meaning agents will only show you policies and quotes from Primerica.
Primerica just offers term life insurance, not whole life or other life insurance products. However, Primerica does offer two term products: Custom Advantage and TermNow. The primary difference between these is that TermNow has a maximum death benefit of $300,000 and typically doesn't require a medical exam, meaning it's more expensive.
Primerica offers term life insurance coverage for 10-year, 15-year, 20-year, 30-year, and 35-year terms, though the set of term lengths available change according to your age. It's also important to keep in mind that some longer term policies (such as the 30-year and 35-year options) only guarantee level premiums for the first 20 years. So, if your premiums later increase and you're not able to cover the higher cost, you might lose your coverage.
However, all of Primerica's policies do offer the option of "guaranteed insurability" until age 95, meaning you can renew your policy without undergoing a new health exam or application. Premiums for the new policy would increase solely due to your age. Guaranteed insurability can be an incredibly valuable feature since, for example, you might get cancer or another disease during the original term that would make it incredibly challenging to qualify for a new policy (and, if you did manage to get coverage, the cost would be incredibly high).
Primerica also offers several riders which act as add-ons to their term coverage, allowing you to customize a policy to your financial situation, though each rider will typically increase your premiums by a small amount.
One of the most unique riders Primerica offers is an increasing benefit rider, which allows you to increase the death benefit of your policy up to 10% per year for 10 years. Most insurers only offer decreasing term insurance policies, in which the death benefit becomes smaller over time, because financial obligations tend to decrease with age. For example, say you purchased enough life insurance to cover your mortgage--as you made mortgage payments, the outstanding loan, and therefore your coverage needs, would decrease. Given this, increasing benefit term policies are somewhat rare, and Primerica is an option if you want the flexibility of increasing coverage during the term. Just note that this option is only available up until age 55.
TermNow is only available if your life insurance policy has a death benefit between $15,000 to $300,000. Since the payout is limited, Primerica offers you the option to go through a simplified underwriting process with no medical exam. Instead, you give them permission to run your personal details through several databases (such as the Medical Information Bureau and DMV) and, if no issues come up, Primerica issues coverage within a few minutes. The key downside to TermNow is that, similar to all simplified underwriting life insurance products, the premiums will be significantly higher.
With Custom Advantage, the underwriting process can take between 1 to 6 weeks, but you have the benefits of being able to choose any face value (death benefits can be over $1 million) and paying lower premiums for comparable coverage. And, while it may sound like a hassle, the medical exam typically takes less than an hour and can be scheduled at your home or work.
ValuePenguin compared sample term life insurance quotes from Primerica against 50 insurers and found that Primerica ranged from 11% to 29% more expensive for the same coverage.
Sample quotes were for a 35-year old non-smoker male in great health. All policies are for $500,00 in coverage.
Primerica is rated A+ (Superior) by A.M. Best and the company states that they pay 94% of claims within 14 days, on average. Positive consumer reviews discuss how the company offers a wide range of financial products, such as mutual funds and investment accounts, and some of Primerica's agents are featured as being particularly knowledgeable.
Complaints primarily focus on Primerica's salesforce and sales process, which can best be described as a multi-level marketing operation. Primerica life insurance policies can only be purchased through their captive agents who are not allowed to represent other insurers, meaning you have to check yourself whether better quotes can be found elsewhere.
Additionally, agents are incentivized to not only sell life insurance to friends and relatives, but also recruit them as agents (the "recruiting agent" receives a portion of the commission from each sale one of the recruits makes). Given Primerica has a large number of new agents joining and working part-time (the average pay per licensed agent was $6,088 in 2016), many agents receive poor ratings due to their lack of experience with life insurance.

The Electric Lady Studio Guitar, commonly referred to as the Jimi Hendrix Statue, is a life-size bronze sculpture of Jimi Hendrix by Daryl Smith, located at the intersection of Broadway and Pine Street in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, in the United States. The statue depicts Hendrix playing a Stratocaster. Visit Seattle, a private nonprofit marketing organization, includes the sculpture in its list of African American Heritage Sites.

The work was vandalized in 2013.

The sculpture is part of a collection of statues on Capitol Hill including Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and Elvis Presley. The guitars featured with the statues were part of an "alternative corporate art collection" formed by Michael J. Malone, founder of AEI Music Corporation (now known as DMX) and Hunters Capital. The statues are currently all owned and maintained by Hunters Capital.

Her whispered words were a prayer and Kalin fell even deeper for the beautiful, kind-hearted queen of the Dragon Bloods.
"She'll stay with me." Dexter spoke up. Kalin opened her mouth in slight protest, but he stopped. "I know you and I haven't always gotten along, Kalin, and I've had my reasons as to why I've been so hard on you. However, that aside, the queen can't just be left in anyone's care. I'll protect her as if she were my own daughter."
Kalin studied Dexter as he spoke and suspected there was much more to what he had just said. Kalin sighed. "You're right. I'd feel better if she was in your care." She caressed Venia's hand with her thumb and it calmed her down.
"Well, if there is nothing else..." Dexter began, but then paused and Kalin smiled because she knew he already knew.
"Venia can spit fireballs." She said, still chuckling.
Venia tugged on her hand and Kalin's gaze went to hers. "Why did you tell him that?" She asked and she was clearly upset. No, upset wasn't it, she was angry.
"He already knew." Kalin said with a smile.
Venia's gaze flew to Dexter. "How?" She demanded.
"Every Dragon Blood has powers. One of mine is knowing some things, but not all, as they happen or before they happen. I am also the power keeper, meaning I know which Dragon Blood can do what. I already knew and while Kalin's away, I'll help you out." Dexter and Mario left after Dexter finished his speech.
"Hey, it's okay. He can help you understand your power or powers. I trust him." Kalin said, drawing Venia's gaze.
Kalin rubbed Venia's shoulders and whispered sweet words to her, effectively calming her.

At last – the FreeFrom Foods Awards shortlist is out.
I was invited to be on the judging panel for a couple of the categories again this year. This is a privilege—and not just because I got to taste 28 different kinds of cake in an afternoon!
It is fascinating, and a rare chance to spend the day in the company of experts in various aspects of living gluten free.
But we—and the other judging teams—did eventually make our decisions. The winners of the Awards will be announced at the ceremony in London, in April. I'm looking forward to it!
Tasting such a wide variety of bread and cake at the same time made some things really clear. One of these is that the quality of gluten free goods is rising, and therefore that the 'minimum acceptable quality bar' for products is getting ever higher these days.
There are still too many 'good enough' products out there on the supermarket shelves. I think we should be expecting more.
Some of the products I tasted were indistinguishable from 'standard' products. Not necessarily identical, but they didn't come with that 'obviously gluten free' taste or smell. I'm sure you know what I mean!
One or two of the products were so good that I would buy them even if we didn't need them to be gluten free. (Not everyone in my family eats gluten free). You'll have to wait for the Awards results to find out which the judges liked best!
So if this is possible, why are there still so many 'adequate' products, rather than good ones? Even given the fact that people have differing tastes (as evidenced by the discussions on judging days), it is clear that some products are just not as good as others.
Yet we accept them, and go on buying them.
and people who live gluten free should be able to choose delicious, high quality products too.

Frederik Willem Waldemar (Berlijn, 2 augustus 1817 - Münster, 17 februari 1849), Prins van Pruisen, was een Pruisisch militair en reiziger.

Waldemar was de jongste zoon van prins Willem van Pruisen, een broer van Frederik Willem III, en van Maria Anna van Hessen-Homburg, een dochter van van landgraaf Frederik V. Van zijn vijf oudere broers en zusters overleefde alleen de latere admiraal Adalbert zijn kindertijd. Zijn jongste zuster Marie was koningin van Beieren.

Hij trad zoals gebruikelijk al vroeg in dienst en bracht het tot kolonel. Zijn drang verre landen te zien leidde hem naar de Middellandse Zee, naar Zuid-Amerika en in 1844 in India, waar hij via Calcutta en Hindoestan naar de Himalaya trok. Zijn reis kwam tot een einde door de Eerste Sikh-oorlog. In de Slag bij Ferozeshah (21/22 december 1845), waarvan hij de eerste dag meemaakte, werd zijn begeleider en jeugdvriend Werner Hoffmeister dodelijk getroffen door een kogel. De Britse bevelhebber Hugh Gough verzocht Waldemar daarna dringend terug te keren. In Duitsland werd hij op 9 maart 1848 bevelhebber van de dertiende cavaleriebrigade te Münster. Verzwakt door de ontberingen van de reis en het Indiase klimaat stierf hij aldaar op 17 februari 1849.

Enige jaren na zijn dood verscheen een reisverslag, samengesteld uit zijn dagboeken en tekeningen, Zur Erinnerung an die Reise des Prinzen Waldemar von Preußen nach Indien 1844-1846 (Berlijn 1855). Van Hoffmeister verscheen Briefe aus Indien. Von Dr. W. Hoffmeister, Arzt im Gefolge Sr. Königl. Hoheit des Prinzen Waldemar von Preußen (Brunswijk 1847).

Pruisen, W


I got a brand new Sizzix Big Shot die cutting and embossing machine and 10 dies from the Sizzix Big Shot Balancing Act Value Pack (courtesy of Sizzix and The Balancing Act on Lifetime TV) I'm having a ball running stuff through the Big Shot just to see if it will cut and emboss things other than paper, cardstock, fabric and metal. My latest and greatest obsession is die cutting metal pop cans.
Why a soda can? Well, first I have an iced tea can from the Korean grocery store I just found. Second, was the large amount of quality Lacey - Lisa time we spent unboxed all of the goodies we got and playing catch afterward that, Third, the cute paper store was closed and I wanted to make the gift tag ASAP.
To make this tutorial go a little easier, I'm embedding a video of Lacey helping me open the Sizzix Big Shot Balancing Act Value Pack. Lacey is such a good helper!
At the risk of sounding like a commercial, you get a lot for your $139.99. If you bought everything that comes in the Balancing Act Value Pack separately it would cost you $318.99.
The Big Shot embosses and die cuts fabric, paper, card stock, and metal (think soda pop can thin type.) I even used it to emboss ribbon over on my DIY blog Condo Blues.
Learn how to make my embossed ribbon card here.
Don't worry gang, this project isn't hard or time consuming. If you can turn a crank handle you can make a professional looking card or gift tag or whatever your little heart desires with the Sizzix Big Shot.
1. Wearing work gloves, use the tin snips or heavy duty scissors to cut the ends off the pop can and down the center.
2. Flatten the cut soda can by making a sandwich. No, not to eat! To run through the Sizzix, silly. Using a Sizzix machine is all about making sandwiches with the cutting platform, dies, cutting pads, and item you want to cut. That's why I am highly qualified to use the Big Shot. I make a lot of sandwiches for my lunch.
Each type of Sizzix die and cutting material is sandwiched between two cutting pads on the correct thickness (or not) of cutting platform for that die type. Don't worry the Big Shot has it all printed on the tabs of the extended cutting platform otherwise, I'd forget what needs what too.
the proper width of the cutting platform you need to use with that type of die.
I flattened the pop can by sandwiching it between two cutting pads and running it through the Big Shot using Tab 2 on cutting platform.
3. Cut the tag by making a sandwich using the Cutting Pad, a large Framelet Die, pop can, and topped with the second Cutting Pad and cranking it though the Big Shot using Tab 2 of the Cutting Platform. Remove the tag from sandwich.
I'm using colored paper as my cutting material in this example so you can see how this Sizzix sandwich thing works since metal on metal was hard to distinguish in my test photos.
4. Cut a window into the soda can by running a sandwich using the Tab 2 of the Cutting Platform, Cutting Pad, paint chip tag, a smaller coordinating Framelet, topped with a Cutting Pad through the Big Shot. You may want to use a little piece of tape or Post It to keep the Framelet in position because these little guys can slide around when you run it through the machine.
I usually use painter's tape so it won't tear the paper after I remove it. I didn't have to worry about that with my metal can so I used the tape that was closest to my work table.
5. Use the large Framelet to die cut the coordinating paper or cardstock.
6. Glue the paper to the back of the gift tag so it is peeking through the Framelet window.
7. Label the tag using the pen.
8. Punch a hole in the soda can gift tag with the paper punch.
9. Tie the pop can gift chip tag to the bottle using the ribbon.

But honestly, I wish I had started writing long before actually expatriating. It would have been a cathartic part of the process. I believe it would have eased some of the initial frustrations knowing that many, many, many others had gone through or were going through similar scenarios. Just trying their hardest to create a new normal, fit in, connect, learn and explore in their new news. And if you have found your way here to this post because you are the one embarking on this road of expatriation as the "trailing spouse" or "expat partner" – I can't recommend highly enough reading The Expat Partner's Survival Guide by Clara Wiggins. You are NOT alone! I am helping road test the new book – a few more insider bits about Oregon Girl (see our link here!).
But Clara is just one of the many expats I have met recently. Some near and some far, we share similar experiences that connect us – whether here in Denmark, or further afield. I have truly enjoyed participating in the newly establishing My Expat Family twitter chats (#myexpatfamily) and connecting about common experiences, even gleaning some advice to enhance life here in my evolving new. Come join us – read more about how to link up and join in the fun over at Seychelles mama.
So no traveling pants, but I was nominated for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award!
Ok. So here it goes! THANK YOU ANGIE!
1) What was the best gift you have ever received?
Quick qualifier – all of the brilliant questions put out by Angie were very thought-provoking and not simple to answer, so I'm going with first responses – top of mind – what jumped in first. I have received many, many awesome and amazing gifts over my life – but first to pop in when responding to this question was my 40th birthday trip to Paris with my husband. It took some secrecy, some communal accommodation (thank you mom for agreeing to watch my three kids!) and clearly expressed wish lists! I used to say that my "dream trip" (we didn't call it a bucket list) would be to fly on the Concord to Paris and see the Kirov Ballet perform Swan Lake at the Paris Opera House. Turns out the Concord no longer exists and Paris Ballet is equally as excellent. For my 40th birthday, I got to see Swan Lake in PARIS. Sigh. Tears. Champagne. Dream lived. Sigh. Ahhh.
2) If you could steal anybody's closet (celebrity, tv/movie character, blogger, etc), whose would you want and why?
This one is tough for me as I am not one to covet famous peoples' anything. I appreciate a well-heeled celeb (as long as she isn't creating a name for herself for the wrong reasons) and look to fashion magazines more for the inspiring photography than what designer to buy next. I do appreciate Danish design and fashion, but also appreciate the high value placed on thrifted and repurposed "vintage" finds here. I don't think I can point to a specific one closet here for this answer. I'm a dabbler, call me a chameleon, the world is a stage and I like finding the next costume to "perform" in.
3) If you were an actor, would you rather be cast as the hero or the villain and why?
I was never an "actor," but I did grow up performing. Many many years in the ballet (does the wish list make more sense now?) and symphony, I loved being on stage – just not speaking on stage. So I would never choose to be the hero or the villain as defined by those would be "Best Actor" nominated roles. My gut response is – I wouldn't mind receiving "a major award" for the Best Supporting Actress in a role that was surrounded in mystery, shrouded in ambiguity – is she good or is she bad? We can't tell… YET. Snarky and surreptitious potentially, the quirky one, the colorful one. Starts off as an unknown and in her little way somehow helps the hero win the day in a subtle and did that just happen kind of way?
4) If you were a singer, what would your debut album by called?
5) What was your favorite childhood cartoon?
This is going to date me. But "Super Friends." It was on ABC Saturday morning cartoons in the 80's. "Super Twins to the rescue" anyone? "Form of?" "An eagle!" "A bucket of water!" I told you it would date me.
6) What company(ies) would you love to be a brand representative for?
Anthropologie. I love that store. Or Swedish Hasbeens. I love those.
7) What is your favorite food to cook?
8) What is your favorite holiday and why?
Christmas. For sure. I love the decorations. I love the food. I love the community. Danes call it hygge. It's cozy and warm and full of friends and family. I can't wait to celebrate it here this year. Last December was a little harried and discombobulated as we'd only been in Denmark for a couple weeks and in our flat for 10 days. This year – our community extended, we will celebrate our American Christmas love Danish style.
Listening to people eat. I heard though, that is a sign of being creative. Right? It is right?
More connections and more growing and more exploring and more learning. Above all – keep it fun!
I would love to hear from everyone, not just those nominated (seriously if you have it in you to respond – please do! You can just leave your 10 answers in the responses below.) But officially, I nominate the following blogs (in no particular order) – share the love and go check them out!
1. Where are you "from" and how does it color WHERE you are living now?
2. Please share one favorite book and why?
3. Who inspires you creatively?
5. If you could have a second home – where would it be and why?
6. Please describe a pair of shoes that made you feel special!
8. Have you had an interaction with a stranger who left an imprint on you?
9. Who is your favorite artist?
That's cool, I'll check on this # from twitter, as this is one of the social media platforms that I'm the least involved in. Love ig as well, but agree that's changed so much. And that was a nice 4th bday present! Very thoughtful.
You should join the #myexpatfamily on twitter – they do #twitterchat's that you would have lots to offer! Cheers – thanks for reading!
1. I'm from New England, and am currently living in northwest England. As an American, I was pleasantly surprised to find how much Brits like Americans, and everything (roads, food, shops) seems much smaller than in the U.S.
2. This is a tough one, I love so many books. One I love to re read is The Poisonewood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. It's an interesting read about human nature and the clash of culture.
3. I used to write a lot of short stories and fiction, my main inspirations being Roald Dahl and Ray Bradbury. Now I would say traveling to new places inspires me most. Does that count?
4. My favorite place to eat breakfast is a tiny coffee shop in my old hometown in Connecticut, where I could walk to the river and watch the boats sail by with a latte in one hand and a morning glory muffin in the other.
5. I think I would want my second home to be in Portsmouth New Hampshire. Such a fun town, and central to most of my American friends.
6. My brooks pure cadence! (Running shoes) make me feel special. a few pairs have gotten me through 5 half marathons and my first full.
8. I wish I could say yes, but I haven't had any profound interactions with strangers. That I remember. Ha.
9. Salvador Dali is my favorite artist. I love the surrealism and symbolism.
10. Taylor Swift: Blank Space. I know. But it's my first time back to America in ages.
Awesome – thanks for answering! I haven't been to Portsmouth, but I love New Hampshire – was there last summer – feels like forever ago! Cheers from Denmark!
While you're so close, you should go to St Petersburg this coming winter and see Swan Lake at the Mariinsky (formerly the Kirov) – it was an amazing performance and venue. I saw it there in January and it was one of the highlights of my trip to Russia. I am a fellow Sister (like 1000s of other bloggers, haha) and I enjoyed your answers!
OHHHHHH! I have a new wish list! That sounds amazing!! Cheers from Denmark!


The concentration and composition of PCB have been determined on various environmental materials, and the present study indicates the followings. Most of PCB in river and pond waters are adsorbed on suspended solids which are migrated and accumulated in surface sediments of river, pond and sea. The PCB dissolved in water is constituted by low chlorobiphenyl. The concentration and composition of PCB dissolved in rain water are similar to those in river water, but there are large differences between dust fall and air-born dust. PCB in rain water is probably derived from air, because the compositions of PCB in air and rain water are very similar each other. The following experiments have been performed to elucidate the mechanism of PCB pollution in environments: the amount and composition of PCB evaporated from water to atomosphere, and the adsorption on kaolin water. Some idea was proposed on the geochemical cycle of PCB from the present investigations and experiments.

New Music Friday: April 2, 2021
Refresh your playlists with this week's recommended picks! We've got new music from pop stars Demi Lovato and Olivia Rodrigo, Icelandic rock group KALEO, rising singers Olivia Holt & Chord Overstreet! All that and more in this week's edition of New Music Friday for Friday, April 2, 2021.
"The Art of Starting Over" by Demi Lovato
Lyrics: https://genius.com/Demi-lovato-the-art-of-starting-over-lyrics
DL7 is finally here!! Pop singer Demi Lovato released her latest album, Dancing With The Devil… The Art of Starting Over today! The 28-year-old songstress has made a very emotional and vulnerable album coming off a very turbulent past couple of years. I'm impressed with what she's created this time around! To narrow it down to one track for this week's picks, I'm highlighting her track called "The Art of Starting Over."
In "TAoSO," Lovato declares that it's okay if you feel lonely on whatever new journey/chapter in your life you're embarking on. It could be a recovery from an injury or disease. Or, it could be starting a new career path or perhaps starting a fresh new life in a new town, city, neighborhood, country, etc. Just know that you'll always have yourself to guide you, so in turn you're not truly alone. Be brave, and venture to new things in life that bring you joy and passion.
I dug her vocals and the overall instrumentation, it's well mixed like something Fleetwood Mac would put out. The visualizer seen above enhanced the chill mentality.
Be sure to check out the other star-studded collaborations she has on the new record which includes pop icon Ariana Grande ("Met Him Last Night,") hip-hop artist Saweetie ("My Girlfriends Are My Boyfriend,") and rising singer Noah Cyrus ("Easy.") The previously released song, "What Other People Say" with fellow Australian artist, Sam Fischer is also featured on the new LP. That track's music video already has 7 million views on YouTube plus charted around the world including Billboard's U.S. Adult Top 40 Airplay charts.
Miss Lovato even has a Tears for Fears cover! Her rendition of "Mad World" is so surreal and gave me goosebumps! Hear that one, right here.
Stay updated on all things Demi Lovato, here. What's your favorite track off the new album? Let me know in the comments below.
Hear Demi's new Album Dancing With The Devil…The Art of Starting Over today!
"deja vu" by Olivia Rodrigo
Lyrics: https://genius.com/Olivia-rodrigo-deja-vu-lyrics
If you combined the sounds and stylings of Lorde and Taylor Swift, you get Olivia Rodrigo's new song, "deja vu." The track follows the massively successful single, "driver's license" which topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts for 8 weeks straight! It's still currently in the top 5 as of this week!!
Rodrigo talks about moving on from the heartbreak while also airing out her commentary about her former lover and the new girl her ex is currently dating. The activities her ex is enjoying with this new girl is so unoriginal to the 18-year-old singer-songwriter/actress because she did exactly what they're doing. "So when you gonna tell her that we did that, too?/She thinks it's special, but it's all reused/That was our place, I found it first/I made the jokes you tell to her when she's with you," she sings.
The chorus was pretty telling too when she belts out, "do you get déjà vu when she's with you?" She's clearly still peeved about her former flame.
By the bridge part of the track, it felt like a firecracker of emotions splattered onto a canvas. This is a perfect way to hype up even more relationship based songs about her ex down the line on what's going to be her debut album! Yup, you heard that right. She's planning on releasing a whole album on May 21st! It's titled *O*R and will be released through Geffen Records/Interscope. Pre-order/pre-save it, right here.
What an amazing year she's having so far and it's only April! I predict she will get booked to perform this song on Saturday Night Live next month just in time for her album promotional cycle.
This fast track to superstardom has already caught attention from other artists including rapper Cardi B. She shared on her Twitter: "Such a sweetie pie. I can't wait to see what she have coming next!"
Such a sweetie pie .I can't wait to see what she have coming next ! https://t.co/3vn5DeXVDz
— iamcardib (@iamcardib) April 1, 2021
Rodrigo QT-ed her back saying: "love u cardi!!!!!"
love u cardi!!!!! https://t.co/3Jahk3Ufsc
— Olivia Rodrigo (@Olivia_Rodrigo) April 1, 2021
Do you see the two collaborating one day? I think if they do they'll blow everyone's mind!
In the meantime, check out the "deja vu" merch collection and more, right here!

"Skinny" by KALEO
Lyrics: https://genius.com/Kaleo-skinny-lyrics
Icelandic rock band, KALEO dropped their latest single that's sure to please their fans! Just a heads up, the lyrics are quite raw, heavy and deep for the heart and soul. I was caught a bit off guard by lead singer JJ Julius Son's swearing. Cursing on the track really packs a punch when you're dealing with verses that talks about the pressures of looking or acting a certain way in society.
I feel people currently battling or had battled with an eating disorder or have or have had body dysmorphia will really resonate with this track the most. The quintet are set to release their third studio album called Surface Sounds on April 23rd. This track plus their previously released singles "I Want More," "Break My Baby," "Alter Ego," & "Backbone" will all be a part of that new body of work.
What are your thoughts on this new one? Do you agree that KALEO makes solid records? Comment below.
Check out their official website and upcoming 2022 tour dates, here.
Listen to "Skinny" by KALEO today!
"love on you" by Olivia Holt
Lyrics: https://genius.com/Olivia-holt-love-on-you-lyrics
If you love artists like Victoria Justice or Hailee Steinfeld, then I think you'll dig the latest track from actress/musician, Olivia Holt. I think she has a similar style to them. In "love on you.," she delves into experiencing heartbreak but overcoming it pretty quick. You are confident moving on and can call yourself a stronger person than you was before dating that person. You however still want to point out that you've wasted all your love, time and energy on your ex.
The whole song is very catchy especially the chorus section where she sings: "I wasted all my love on you/Yeah, I wasted a couple years at school/'Cause I'm young and that's just what we do/Wasted all my love, wasted, wasted all my love."
I'm not sure if this will be a part of a bigger body of work later down the line but I'm certainly eager to hear more from her. This is the second single she's dropped this year which follows the inquisitive and equally catchy track, "Do You Miss Me."
I hope she makes a music video for this song. How about you?
You can catch Miss Holt in the upcoming Freeform thriller series, Cruel Summer from producer/actress Jessica Biel. The show will be premiering on April 20th and the 21st for those who want to view it on Hulu.

"Beautiful Disaster" by Chord Overstreet
Lyrics: https://genius.com/Chord-overstreet-beautiful-disaster-lyrics
For this final pick of the week, we have the first song out in 2021 from actor/singer-songwriter, Chord Overstreet. I feel this song could pass as a OneRepublic ballad. It's very impassioned and carefully crafted from a sonic standpoint. The lyrics go into a relationship that's on-again, off-again or one that's currently on the rocks. In either situation, both can be deemed a "beautiful disaster."
If you're experiencing more rough days than good days in a relationship lately, then this song is for you! If you just want to vibe out to a vulnerable song in general, then this song is for you too!
The official lyric video seen above shows Overstreet driving in a convertible alone and deep in thought with shades on. Play it in your vehicle if you want to contemplate your own past, present or future!
This track follows a series of released singles he dropped last year namely, "Water Into Wine," "Cold Feet," "What You Need," & the fan favorite "Hold On" just to name a few.
Not sure what the 32-year-old musician has in store for this year, but it would be cool to see him release and promote a full-length album. Share your predictions and your thoughts about this new song in the comments box down below.

Local shop owners are giving free deals to furloughed workers.
President Donald Trump and congress may have reached a deal on Friday to reopen the government for the next three weeks, but Montclair business and community members are still offering some relief for government employees who are in day 35 without a paycheck.
Tomorrow, Jan. 26, 2:30 p.m, the First Congregational Church will hold a luncheon for furloughed federal employees at the Guild Room, 40 South Fullerton Ave., Montclair.
Olsen Reiki, Shiatsu & Massage: Free massages in Montclair. Call Pamela Olsen at 973-393-2135 to book.
East Side Mags: Offering a free comic or graphic novel with a government ID, while supplies last.


Yes, it's possible, but nothing is guaranteed. For example, DeAndre Jordan practices free-throw shooting after every practice, but is still a horrific free throw shooter. You have to decide whether it's worth continuing to pursue or not. Also, a player may be improving, but let's say he's gone from a 40 to a 50% free throw shooter, both are still classified as 'F'.

Based on the popular stories of "Little Orphan Annie," this popular musical is sure to warm your heart.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a young orphan named Annie, (Eloise Parkes) is living in the Hudson Street Orphanage in New York City. It is run by Miss Hannigan, (Karyn Gibson) a cruel alcoholic who forces the orphans to clean the building daily.
With half of a locket as her only possession, she remains optimistic that her parents, who left her on the doorstep as a baby, will return for her. Annie sneaks out with help from laundry man, Mr. Bundles, (Stephen Tomlinson) adopting a stray dog which she names Sandy and meeting the not so well-to-do in a Hooverville Slum. Annie is discovered and returned to the orphanage shortly after by a police officer.
Grace Farrell, (Sarah Thornley) secretary to billionaire Oliver Warbucks, (Tom Hart) arrives to invite an orphan to live with Warbucks for a week, to celebrate Christmas. Annie is chosen and she meets his household staff and quickly endears herself to all. Warbucks, at first dismissive of Annie due to her being female, is charmed into letting her stay.
He takes Annie and Grace on a stroll through New York City streets and Warbucks begins to develop affection for Annie. Grace urges him to adopt Annie and he meets with Miss Hannigan, convincing her to sign the adoption papers.
Warbucks reveals his plans to Annie, even offering her a new locket, but she declines. She explains the purpose of her broken locket and her hope that her parents will return with the other half. Warbucks appears on Bert Healy's radio show and offers $50,000 to find Annie's parents. This causes mass hysteria with many would-be parents appearing to claim the money.
Upon returning home, Annie is disheartened when Grace reveals none of the potential parents knew about the locket. Miss Hannigan is visited by her con artist brother Rooster, (Darren Sundborn) and his girlfriend, Lily St. Regis, (Sarah Templeton); they plot to pose as Annie's parents to gain the reward. The trio research the orphans' arrival at the orphanage and Miss Hannigan reveals that Annie's parents died; she possesses the other half of the locket.
Rooster and Lily succeed with the ruse, and Annie's departure from Warbucks is imminent. But with a slip of the tongue, Rooster gives away the plot, and President Roosevelt , (John Townsend) (with the help of the FBI) uncovers the scheme. Rooster, Lily and Miss Hannigan are arrested and Annie is officially adopted by Warbucks. At a party in which the orphans, and the Roosevelts attend, Warbucks gives Annie the new locket. She embraces her new father.
So to summarise: The good guys win, the bad guys get caught and Annie finds love in the arms of her adopted 'Daddy' Warbucks.
What musical could be happier than that?
Annie is filled with humour and heart and features some of Broadway's most memorable musical numbers, including "Little Girls", "It's the Hard Knock Life", "Easy Street", 'Maybe", "I Don't Need Anything But You" and the legendary anthem of optimism, "Tomorrow".
The original production of Annie opened April 21, 1977 at the Alvin Theatre and went on to win the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, seven Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical, the Grammy for Best Cast Show Album and seven Tony Awards, including BestMusical, Best Book (Thomas Meehan) and Best Score (Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin).
The show remains one of the biggest Broadway musical hits ever. It ran for 2,377 performances after it first opened, and has been performed in 28 languages and has been running somewhere around the world for 40 years.
The beloved score and story of Annie, never fails to leave a audience uplifted and is truly a tale with a happy ending that everyone, young or old will love!

Jim Jarmusch's Newest Film
Is Set for Limited Release

(From Focus Features)
"The Limits of Control is the new movie from filmmaker Jim Jarmusch (Broken Flowers, Down by Law). The film is set in the striking and varied landscapes of contemporary Spain (both urban and otherwise). The location shoot there united the writer/director with acclaimed cinematographer Christopher Doyle (In the Mood for Love, Paranoid Park).
Isaach De Bankolé stars in the lead role for Mr. Jarmusch; this marks the duo's fourth collaboration over nearly two decades, following Night on Earth, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, and Coffee and Cigarettes. The Limits of Control also features several other actors with whom Mr. Jarmusch has previously worked, including Alex Descas, John Hurt, Youki Kudoh, Bill Murray, and Tilda Swinton; and actors new to his films, including Hiam Abbass, Gael García Bernal, Paz De La Huerta, Jean-François Stévenin, and Luis Tosar.
The Limits of Control is the story of a mysterious loner (played by Mr. De Bankolé), a stranger, whose activities remain meticulously outside the law. He is in the process of completing a job, yet he trusts no one, and his objectives are not initially divulged.
His journey, paradoxically both intently focused and dreamlike, takes him not only across Spain but also through his own consciousness."

Kashmir Women are the Biggest Victims of Inhumane Siege
According to reports, "How to marry Kashmir women" was increasingly Googled after August 5 in India
After August 5, when India revoked Kashmir's special status and followed the move with a military lockdown, Uzma Javed did not leave her house for days.
A 20-year-old student who usually lives in Kerala, Javed had returned home to spend Eid with her relatives.
But instead of celebrating, she found herself caged in while outside, armed Indian paramilitary forces manned largely empty streets.
Before announcing the decision, one of the government's arguments for scrapping Article 370 was that it would lead to gender equality and the "emancipation" of women in the Muslim-majority region.
But days later, a number of the politicians with India's ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made sexist comments directed towards Kashmiri women.
On August 10, Manohar Lal Khattar, chief minister of Haryana, was quoted as saying: "Some people are now saying that as Kashmir is open, brides will be brought from there. But jokes apart, if [the gender] ratio is improved, then there will be a right balance in society."
Earlier, the BJP's Vikram Saini, a Member of the Legislative Assembly, said "Muslim party workers should rejoice in the new provisions. They can now marry the white-skinned women of Kashmir."
The misogyny also spread online, with posts on social media networks carrying a similar theme. And according to reports, "How to marry Kashmir women" was increasingly Googled after August 5.
"The way women of Kashmir are exoticised and objectified on a daily basis in India, the way their bodies are portrayed as vulnerable and used to create fear and intimidation, has heightened the sense of being preyed upon," said Samreen, a 22-year-old make-up artist from Srinagar.
Janees Lanker, a 22-year-old Masters student from Srinagar, blaming the political class for encouraging sexist attitudes, she also pointed to the portrayal of Kashmiri women in Indian cinema.
"Kashmiri women are shown as these innocent, naive, dolled up beings," she said, "which is nothing less than objectifying them."
Her social media feeds, she said, are peppered with memes showing "fair girls with a hijab" as objects of sexual desire, "and it's disgusting."
Nivedita Menon, a professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, said: "These are proclamations of conquest and plunder, and reveal the real intention behind the abrogation of 370."
