The most important decision of your life, the one that will affect every other decision you make, is the commitment to love and accept yourself. It directly affects the quality of your relationships, your work, your free time, your faith, and your future.
Why, then, is this so difficult to do?
I grew up with nine siblings. I had two older brothers, three older sisters, three younger sisters, and a younger brother.
I never fit in. My sisters were tall and thin with beautiful, long, lush hair. By eleven years old, I was short and very curvy. My hair was fine, thin, and wild.
For the most part, my siblings did as they were told. I was outspoken, out of control, and rebellious.
I wore my sister's hand-me-down school uniforms. I rolled up the hems on the skirts and popped buttons on the blouses. My look was unkempt.
I was teased and bullied at home and at school. Yet I didn't go quietly into the night. I fought for my place in my family. To protect myself, I developed a good punch and grew a sharp tongue.
I was twenty-seven years old and married with four children when I became desperate enough to seek out my first therapist. I felt alone, stuck, and unlovable. I was determined to change.
After six months of working through my childhood issues, old thoughts, beliefs, and events, I felt alive again. It was like stripping off several layers of paint from an antique piece of furniture. I found myself restored to my original beauty.
Feelings of lack are never-ending. Every time a goal is reached or you possess the next big thing, your ego will move the line.
Feeling worthy requires you to see yourself with fresh eyes of self-awareness and love. Acceptance and love must come from within.
You don't have to be different to be worthy. Your worth is in your true nature, a core of love and inner goodness. You are a beautiful light. You are love. We can bury our magnificence, but it's impossible to destroy.
Loving ourselves isn't a one time event. It's an endless, ongoing process.
It begins with you, enfolding yourself in your own affection and appreciation.
Read on for steps to discover your worth and enfold yourself in affection and appreciation.
1. Begin your day with love (not technology).
2. Take time to meditate and journal.
Spend time focusing inward daily. Begin with five minutes of meditation and five minutes of journaling each morning. Gradually increase this time.
Use affirmations to train your mind to become more positive. Put a wrist band on your right wrist. When you're participating in self-criticism, move the band to your left wrist.
Let go of numbing your feelings. Shopping, eating, and drinking are examples of avoiding discomfort, sadness, and pain. Mindfully breathe your way through your feelings and emotions.
Try something new. Learn a language. Go places you've never been. Do things you haven't done before. You have a right to an awesome life.
6. Enjoy life enhancing activities.
Find exercise you like. Discover healthy foods that are good for you. Turn off technology for a day and spend time doing things that make you feel alive.
7. Become willing to surrender.
Breathe, relax, and let go. You can never see the whole picture. You don't know what anything is for. Stop fighting against yourself by thinking and desiring people and events in your life should be different. Your plan may be different from your soul's intentions.
8. Work on personal and spiritual development.
Be willing to surrender and grow. Life is a journey. We are here to learn and love on a deeper level. Take penguin steps and life becomes difficult. One step at a time is enough to proceed forward.
Love yourself enough to believe in the limitless opportunities available to you. Take action and create a beautiful life for yourself.
Let go of urgency and fear. Relax and transform striving into thriving. Trust in yourself, do good work, and you will see results.
Train your mind to be grateful. Appreciate your talents, beauty, and brilliance. Love your imperfectly perfect self.
12. Be guided by your intuition.
All answers come from within. Look for signs and pay attention to your gut feelings. You'll hear two inner voices when you need to make a decision. The quiet voice is your higher self; the loud voice is your ego. Always go with the quieter voice.
13. Do what honors and respects you.
Don't participate in activities that bring you down. Don't allow toxic people in your life. Love everyone, but be discerning on who you allow into your life.
Suffering comes from living in the pain of the past or the fear of the future. Put your attention on the present moment and be at peace.
16. Discover the power of fun.
Speak up and speak out. Allow yourself to be seen, known, and heard. Get comfortable with intimacy (in-to-me-see).
19. Become aware of self neglect and rejection.
20. Imagine what your life would look like if you believed in your worth.
Dedicate your life to loving you. Make it your main event.
Self-rejection and neglect is painful. You deserve to be happy. You have a right to be accepted and loved. If necessary, seek help from a support group, counselor, or coach. It's the best investment you can make.
Because we are all interconnected, when I love me, I also love you. Together through our love, we can heal ourselves, each other, and the world. Love is our purpose, our true calling. It begins with and within each of us.


Chemical inhomogeneity and inclusions are the most severe defect types in bearing steel which have great influences on the ingot quality and final product properties. Based on a series of full-dissections of steel ingots varying with composition and weight, numerous experimental characterizations by SEM, EPMA, TEM, ASPEX and 3D Micro-CT techniques and multi-scale simulations, a new driving force, inclusion flotation, has been discovered to drive the formation of solutal macrosegregation, especially channel segregation. Sufficient populations of light oxide-based inclusions with appropriate size are able to alter the local flow pattern and destabilize the mushy zone, consequently dominating the channel segregation formation. Accordingly, a significant concept to control the macrosegregation in practice is the low-oxygen purifying treatment of the melt and inclusion modification, such as via Rare earth addition. Actually, even with a highly low proportional of RE's additions in industrial-level 100Cr6 bearing steel ingots, inclusions can be effectively modified into smaller and much more compatible RE-O-S type with Fe matrix, and over 60% large-size inclusions beyond 5 μm disappear, avoiding the growth of large-size MnS/Al2O3. In addition, the small density contrast between RE-O-S inclusions and steels also leads to a slow flowing among inter-dendritic regions. These two factors reduce and even eliminate channel segregation, and also lower the global macrosegregation extent significantly. The magic of RE treatment on segregation control has been widely verified and applied in other special steels of mould, gear and nuclear power component. Besides, the appropriate casting process and optimized ingot design are also significant factors to reduce macrosegregation in bearing steel. For instance, the higher superheat degree above 40 oC induces the longer solidification time and stronger interdendritic natural convection; meanwhile the decrease of the local cooling rate coarsens the dendrite arm, consequently elevating the mushy zone permeability. Obviously, both the large density difference and coarse microstructure provoke the severity of macrosegregation. On the other hand, the larger height, narrower shoulder width and the smaller taper in the riser are beneficial to shifting the hot spot and the maximum segregation value from the ingot body towards the riser top. In summary, the current study highlights the importance to produce super-homogenized bearing steel by jointly purifying the steel melt, modifying the inclusions, lowering superheat degree and ideal hot-top design.


In an effort to ensure that retrenched public officers are given all possible assistance, Government has established the Household Mitigation Unit, and its staff is hard at work.
This disclosure has come from Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, who said the Unit is playing an important role in "minimizing the social and psychological impact of the retrenchment exercise on affected individuals and households by taking proactive steps to reduce potential fallout".
Ms. Mottley explained that the Unit is tracking and working with vulnerable individuals, as well as helping to facilitate the options they make as they transition from the public sector. She added that the Unit's employees were working closely with the Advisor to the Prime Minister on Poverty Alleviation, Corey Lane.
The Household Mitigation Unit is located at Government Headquarters, Bay Street, St. Michael, and may be reached by calling 535-5366, or by contacting the Field/Programme Officers on 832-0092 or 832-0093.
Ms. Mottley pointed out that some retrenched workers had been re-employed, including 43 persons who are working on a contractual basis in the weeding and debushing programme of the Ministry of Transport, Works and Maintenance.
She also disclosed that a new initiative would be started shortly with regard to digitizing records for an organization and 20 retrenched workers would be immediately employed.
She added that the officers in the Unit had assisted a number of retrenched persons who were interested in Government's Trust Loan Fund.

The prediction of the probability of soil erosion in agricultural areas was conducted to identify sites that are susceptible to various degrees (or states) of soil erosion and to develop possible preventative / mitigative measures.
The loss of fertile soils is a significant problem that persists in semi-arid and arid regions, but can also occur in temperate zones. In addition to the detrimental effects on agricultural areas, the mobility of soil creates problems on roads, in populated areas and in reservoirs where drinking water is stored. The ability to make accurate predictions that inform about areas prone to soil erosion facilitates the making of sound decisions in support of best management practices.

KAMILA ANDINI and her third feature film, "YUNI", (Indonesia, 2021)
by Cynthia Webb, at Brisbane International Film Festival, Qld, Australia
(Scroll to below the photos, to find the article please!)
Kamila Andini and her third feature film, "Yuni" 2021
by Cynthia Webb, Brisbane, QLD, Australia
The first thing to mention is that I am a long time friend of Kamila Andini and her family, so there is no objectivity possible, however deeper insights ARE possible. When I see any of her films, I see them through my own eyes, which also see and know Kamila as a sensitive, intelligent and deeply empathetic young woman who has turned her creative talent to film-making.
Friends and family call her Dini, and Dini grew up observing and more importantly, absorbing the cinematic work of her father Garin Nugroho, who has long been Indonesia's most internationally recognized film director. Having studied Sociology at Deakin University in Australia, Kamila Andini added academic knowledge to what she already knew about her own people, their cultural ways and their lives in Java, Indonesia.
Kamila Andini has made three feature films now, plus a one hour 'short film', which almost became a feature. All have been internationally successful and receiving very good reviews at international film festivals. Probably some of those reviewers had no personal experience of the multi-cultural nature of Indonesia, and the varied ways of living across that great archipelago. It's a complex land of many totally different ethnic groups, with their own languages and ways of life. Watching films about other cultures can be very informative and inspiring, even though probably we also miss out on some of the nuances of cultural beliefs that are being portrayed, but slip past us. But after spending years watching world cinema we can learn so much. Most important of all, is the knowledge that everywhere people have the same hopes and dreams and needs.
The first feature was about a little known group, the Bajau or Sea-Gypsy people who live in bamboo huts on jetties, built above coral reefs, rather than on the actual 'mainland' of the islands. They live on the sea, and from the sea. These people can be found throughout South East Asia, from the Philippines, to Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The film's title is "The Mirror Never Lies" (or "Laut Bercermin", 2011). It is beautiful to behold, thanks to glorious location in South East Suluwesi and the stunning cinematography. The story is about a ten year old girl, waiting for her father to come home from a fishing trip in his tiny boat. He's days then weeks late, and probably won't return, but hope springs eternal.
This was followed in 2018, with a film Kamila had been planning for a very long time, and had told me about back in 2011. The title, "The Seen and the Unseen" ("Sekala, Niskala") – which is Balinese language for the same, meaning that both worlds exist together in the Balinese culture. This film was about twin children, a boy and a girl around the same age as her previous young protagonist. The boy becomes fatally ill, and is in hospital, and the story examines the Balinese girl's spiritual way of coping with losing "her other half".
Between these films, Kamila made "Following Diana" – about a Javanese wife and mother, whose husband has decided he wants to take a second wife. Diana just won't stand for it, and prefers anything to being superseded by a younger woman. No woman anywhere would want this, and Kamila Andini is well aware of that fact , especially now that she herself is a married woman with two young daughters. Diana chooses the more difficult way in practical terms, to live as a solo-mother, rather than allow her pride and dignity to be insulted this way, a way that is still happening in Muslim Indonesia, although officially 'frowned upon'.
So now in her third feature film, "Yuni", Kamila has tackled another situation that commonly occurs in Indonesia – that of teenage love and marriage, or even teenage marriage minus the love, because it is pressed upon the unfortunate girls by the demands of the traditions and the parents. The not often considered lost hopes and dreams of the young women is the most important theme in Kamila's mind.
Of course this also happens in many other Islamic cultures, in the regions far from the more sophisticated and modern cities. Indonesia is very comparable to Turkey, with Sunni Islam, with a small number of sophisticated, modern 21st Century lifestyle cities, and remote but vast areas of villages and small towns where the old customs are still applied. I have seen Turkish films on exactly the same theme.
There are many countries which have a sort of split personality such as this, and it's so difficult in this Internet era, for the young women living in the remote traditional small towns and villages. Modernization raced ahead at dizzying speed in the outside world, where in their villages, and probably the minds of their parents, time almost stood still. On their cellphones, teenagers find out how their contemporaries in the cities are living, and what is happening in the outside world. They want to be free to develop their talents, their lives, and their fullfil their potential. But their hopes and dreams are often thwarted by their parents, and the close-knit life and traditions of the villages, which belong to a by-gone era.
So here in "Yuni", we can see through the empathetic eyes of Kamila Andini, the life of Yuni, who is 16 years old and one of the smartest students in her school. She is about to graduate from high school and would love to continue her studies. One of her teachers has even organised a scholarship for her. BUT, back at her home living with her beloved grandmother, while her parents work far away in Jakarta, suitors are coming calling with offers of marriage, explaining unimpressive dowrys as persuasion. First is a handsome young man who works at the local factory and has career potential. She spurns him. Second is a kind and nice man, twice her age and already married, who wants to make her his second wife. He brings his wife and says she approves, but did she have any option?
Although the local custom says it's very unlucky to refuse a second marriage proposal, Yuni refuses anyway. Then there is a third proposal too, and this one has some hidden complications and some of them actually might even suit her. They could have perhaps been a way out for her.
However, in the meantime, Yuni has done something desperate, to try to escape marriage, because she doesn't want to marry anyone! She wants her freedom, to explore her own potential, and feels unready to even contemplate marriage.
In the film, which shows how vulnerable, ill-informed and innocent Yuni and all of her young girl-friends are, we sometimes listen in on their 'secret girls' conversations', where they share what they know about the mysterious matters of sex and men, and the frightening condition of marriage, made all the more frightening when you are only in your mid teens. They live in a small village, on the coast, a world of its own, where without the coming of the internet and the cellphone, they would be even more 'in the dark' about these matters.
Yuni is shown in several scenes going to a small kiosk to buy more internet data for her cellphone, which is her connection to the wider world. She buys this charge-up funding for her internet access from Yoga, a young man who is painfully shy and desperately in love with her. This link between her, the internet access and the young man who loves her is crucially important, symbolising and defining her predicament.
Everything is filmed on location in a typical village and school and so reality is vividly portrayed.
There is more, which is not to be told here… except to say, that once again Kamila Andini is showing her sensitivity and insight into the things that are 'women's business'.
She is a creator, and so uses her own ideas and understandings to write her own screenplays, and to find the right locations, in which to set and film her stories. Therefore of course they are one hundred percent accurate to the way of life on her own island of Java, Indonesia.
Kamila hasn't been a village girl, nor subjected to any of this sort of thing herself, but she knows it very well, from her own observations. Actually she is a sort of role model that so many young women in Indonesia would look up to with great admiration and some envy too. She's grown up in a sophisticated, artistic and loving family who also observe the old traditions of pre Islamic Java. She has known life in the city of Jakarta, and also in Yogyakarta, which is a large town, but rather like a village in so many ways. She is steeped in Javanese tradition, at the same time as being a cosmopolitan, privileged young woman of the 21st Century.
In the 2021 Asia Pacific Screen Awards, (APSA) Kamila Andini was in the nominations list for her sensitive work as Director on "YUNI". Yes, this emerging young director, is in a list competing against a maestro of world cinema, Asghar Farhadi, who started his journey on the road to international fame at APSA too, back in 2009, when he came to the Gold Coast with a film in competition, "About Elly", and a screenplay that won a grant, and became the worldwide hit "A Separation", which ultimately won the Academy Award for foreign language films. When he first came to APSA, he too was unknown outside his own country, and had made only a couple of previous feature films.
In previous APSA years, two of Kamila Andini's films have won Best Youth Feature Film. They were"The Mirror Never Lies", and "The Seen and the Unseen".
I would think that this film "YUNI" could not be screened in Indonesian cinemas, without some censorship cuts of certain scenes, and if that were to happen, it would remove a crucial aspect of the story of Yuni's life, and weaken the film's statement. This would be a great pity, because so many millions, yes millions of young women there would very much appreciate seeing, in its entirety, a film that tells their own story. (The island of Java has a population of around 130 million and half of them are women.)

Twenty-one female Republican legislators are forming a caucus in Arkansas. This was announced on Wednesday as the Arkansas Republican Women's Legislative Caucus.
The Arkansas Republican Women's Legislative Caucus have announced an emphasis on education, childcare, juvenile justice reform, expanded funding for a cancer center, as well as increased access to rural broadband access.
The caucus aims to eliminate red tape surrounding child care facilities and broadband. In addition, a particular focus has been placed on raising literacy requirements in schools.
In total, Arkansas' 92nd General Assembly has thirty-two women serving as legislators.


I'm about to buy a new tower, been considering it for months. I have the 2001 OB LS (direct drive). Some of the new aftermarket towers they have out are really swept back and the rear mounts would go behind the ski pylon. My question is this: is there any rule of thumb or distance behind the center ski pylon that the side rear tower bases can be mounted without interfering with slalom skiing? We're not super skiers but do run the course at 15 off occasionally.
If anyone knows the answer to this question, it would be appreciated. Obviously, we're not normally directly to the side of the boat, so I'm sure it can be some distance behind the ski pylon, just don't have any idea if it is 3 inches or a foot and a half. Thanks.
What towers are you considering? Have you been to monstertower.com? You can go to their Customer Photos Section, then to Moomba, and see their towers mounted on a variety of Moombas, including several Outbacks. I think that seeing these photos might answer your question.
I bought and installed a monster tower on a previous I/O and was very pleased with it.
My first choice is the new monster tower mt2. It's a bit higher and more curved than the original monster tower, it has a wider stance by a foot or two, and they don't have any customer install pictures of the new one yet. All of their stock photos are on v-drives. I think it would be fine, but I'd hate to get it on and find that when I cut way out to the side slalom skiing, the rear tower leg interferes with the rope.
I'm also considering the new dimension that either is, or is a copy of, the factory tower for the boat. But I like the monster tower MT2 better and would prefer to get it.
I assume that you would want to mount the tower such that the rope swivel is directly above the location of your ski pylon. Then mount the rear legs such that they are even with the ski pylon also so that everything is on one plane. So the only way the rope would hit the tower while skiing is if you were directly to the side of the pylon.


COLUMBUS—State Representatives Wes Retherford (R-Hamilton) and Christina Hagan (R-Alliance) today applauded the House passage of House Bill 79, legislation they jointly sponsored that allows tactical medical professionals, such as nurses and paramedics on regional SWAT teams, to carry firearms while on duty.
In the event of a life-threatening situation, House Bill 79 allows these public servants to carry firearms in order to protect themselves and others in immediate need or danger. The bill specifies that these first responders must have already received firearms training and are authorized to carry a firearm by the law enforcement agency they are associated with.
Tactical medical professionals are defined as emergency medical technicians, paramedics, nurses, and doctors who are trained and certified in a nationally recognized tactical medical training program, such as SWAT. Through this legislation, these medical professionals would join law enforcement officers who are approved to carry firearms under current law and would help to clarify the statute for local departments.
House Bill 79 will now go to the Senate for further consideration.
COLUMBUS – On January 7th, Representative Larry Householder (R-Glenford) was elected Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives for the 133rd General Assembly. Householder represents the 72nd House District, encompassing all of Coshocton and Perry counties, as well as parts of Licking County. Representative Householder, currently serving his second consecutive term in the Ohio House, previously served as Speaker from 2001 to 2004.
COLUMBUS – Speaker Larry Householder made several appointments today to the following special committees, the Controlling Board, and the Legislative Task Force on Redistricting.
COLUMBUS –Speaker Larry Householder today announced the selection of Gail Crawley as Communications Director for the Ohio House of Representatives.
State Representative Steve Hambley (R-Brunswick) this week was appointed by Ohio House Speaker Ryan Smith (R-Bidwell) to serve as Co-Chair of the Regional Economic Development Alliance Study Committee.


Katie and I first connected on that eventful snowy day that Toby hit NYC. We were scheduled to fly from Newark to Jamaica for a wedding - but the universe had other plans for us. Our flight out of Newark Liberty International Airport was cancelled and after hours of being on hold and listening to an awful replacement for elevator music, we were rescheduled the next day to fly out of JFK. We took the first train out of Red Bank, NJ the next morning in hopes to beat the storm and cancellation of all public transportation. Luckily, it was a success and we proceeded to spend the next 18 hours working/eating/exercising/drinking and sleeping at the lovely Even Hotel in Brooklyn - highly recommended! During our time there I received an inquiry from Katie about her and Wyatt's wedding at the Naples Grande Golf Course in Florida this fall.
Katie is a teacher, and had the day off from school due to the storm, giving us the chance to casually chat about her and Wyatt and their wedding. As most of you know, it's important for me to have a connection with my clients; to know that we are going to enjoy our time together, be comfortable together and most importantly - have lots of laughs! I want my clients to be more than just clients and I want to be more than just a check off their long list of "need-to-hire" vendors. Therefore, I always ask to connect in some way (either a FaceTime/Skype, regular old phone call or in person meeting) with my potential clients. It's an extra step and certainly takes a bit of work - but it has sincerely helped my relationship with my clients and in turn, my business.
The following week we exchanged a few emails back and forth going over details and such, when I received one from her saying, "you are so beyond sweet and thoughtful in your approach with your clients. I feel so confident in you and your ability to capture our wedding weekend in the most perfect way ... I can't thank you enough for your responsiveness and careful explanations. It really makes me feel like I'm in good hands."
And that's when my heart exploded.
Genuine Validation. Confirmation that my approach not only resonates with my clients but means a considerable amount to them. It makes a difference. Nothing is better than that!!!


No sooner does this chiel think it's time to have a look at efficiency than a parliamentary committee does exactly that. "What," I hear you say, "in the middle of a general election?" Yes, a trick question for English readers – the Scottish Parliament of course, which quite rightly continues business (almost) unaffected like the Welsh and Northern Irish Assemblies.
Two days ago the finance committee gathered evidence for their enquiry into the Scottish Government's budget strategy for 2011-12 and how to improve efficiency in the public sector.
I was there. Well, thanks to the BBC's fantastic Democracy Live channel I was.
Eight witnesses, some known like Seddo (John Seddon – well why not if we have Subo?), some more or less familiar to Scottish readers who follow this sort of stuff, and one or two unknown to all but a specialist technical audience.
A very varied performance from those witnesses, one or two missing some key points (no names – I may need work from them) balanced by some perceptive contributions.
Lots of old friends and jargon springing from various lips. Salami slicing, inspection, targets, benchmarking, economies of scale, ringfencing, total place, lack of meaningful data and shared services all featured.
Jack Perry of Scottish Enterprise, with a mainly private sector career made some telling points. Incremental improvement is not radical, transformation change is needed. Where's the thinking that will transform a typical public sector timescale of months into days? Partnership engagement can be "horribly over-engineered". And in response to a committee member clearly thinking about private sector bonuses, the incentives you need in the public sector are organisational, devolving responsibility and lifting the burden of inspection.
Interestingly, and I checked a previous evidence session on the 13th, no one from either side of the table seemed to address what efficiency or waste actually mean. Am I the only who thinks it matters to agree a definition before discussing?
It'll be interesting to see what the committee make of it all in their final report.


R. Kelly, who is under investigation for multiple claims of sexual misconduct, has announced an official New Zealand tour.
The disgraced Ignition (Remix) singer shared the news on Twitter saying, "New tour alert. Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, see y'all soon!"
R. Kelly hinted at an upcoming tour back in December, when he quashed a tour announcement made by a promoter he said he wasn't officially linked to.
"While I love all my amazing fans in the Australia region I am NOT involved in this tour nor do I have knowledge of it," he tweeted.
"Watch my social media...when it's time for my next international tour (which is soon) you'll hear it directly from me. Stay tuned for more King s... in the VERY near future!"
Longstanding allegations against R. Kelly resurfaced in January, when the documentary series Surviving R. Kelly was released.
Most recently, the singer was been symbolically banned from Philadelphia, where city councillors voted unanimously to not welcome him into the city.

this changed everything
tiffa novoa 1975 – 2007
heavy shit today.
tiffa (née tiffany ann snead) was not just a fashion designer, she invented an entire aesthetic style. she was not just one of the founding members of a notorious performance troupe, she helped to create an entire subculture. she wasn't just a visionary artist, she was a force of nature whose ripple effects inspired, and will continue to inspire, her closest friends and countless, thousands, of people who are likely not even aware that this is the woman responsible for their inspiration.
i barely knew tiffa, and i can easily say that she affected the course of my life.
in the spring of 2004 i ran into an unusual-looking group of folks walking around venice beach. later i would describe the way this posse appeared at the time as superheroes in street clothes–from a street on a different planet. having previously worked with the dresden dolls in boston before moving out to LA, i had only one idea of what this gang could be. i went up to them and asked, "what are you guys? are you a band?"
the answer came back, "no. we are a circus."
the group was called, simply, el circo.
two months later i found myself at a seminal event in the los angeles underground. it was a fashion show for onda designs at a downtown warehouse. the fashions were tiffa's, though i had no idea who she was at the time, and the people i met that night, and would meet in the years after who had been involved with the production of that night, would become some of my dearest friends and colleagues. the name of the party was "VITAL."
in the scrapbook i have from that year, full of flyers and other mementos, i still have a flyer for VITAL, and underneath it, in a bout of prescience that completely astonished me when i rediscovered it looking through the scrapbook a few months ago, i had written the words:
"THIS CHANGED EVERYTHING."
so i had known even then.
i had known immediately.
seven months after VITAL i became the production manager for an LA-based circus troupe called lucent dossier, which was just two months old at the time. five months after that i was working with lucent and the do lab on redbull's ascension event, getting a hands-on, crash-course education in culture marketing from the experts in the field. (that event was also the first time i actually worked with el circo, 1 year after meeting them on venice beach.)
the night that 2005 became 2006 i was at the new year's eve party put on by madison house and anon salon where i watched the dresden dolls and el circo perform on the same stage.
a year and a half later i was developing the marketing strategy for the do lab's lightning in a bottle music festival, on which el circo were very significant collaborators. and now, six months after that, i'm writing this post on my marketing website, getting so nostalgically lost in the mystical, cyclical serendipity of all these events, that it actually made me manage to forget for a moment why i sat down to write this post in the first place.
by the time i'd become involved in this whole circus, tiffa had moved on to a new design label, ernte fashion systems, moved to bali where the production was based, and become a significant couture force from paris to tokyo.
i know this because many of my friends who have themselves become designers and gone on to start fashion labels are her friends, her artistic progeny, and have been inspired by the path she blazed and the creative visions she wrought.
in a 2005 SF-Bay Guardian article on the effect that the various groups within the burningman community have had on san francisco nightlife, and west coast underground dance culture in general, the writer paid particular attention to the legacy of el circo:
El Circo has fused a musical style and a fashion sense that are major departures from the old rave scene.
El Circo [is credited] with creating the postapocalyptic fashions that many now associate with Burning Man. Most of the original El Circo fashions, which convey both tribalism and a sense of whimsy, were designed by member Tiffa Novoa, who has since hit it big with her Onda Designs.
….That fashion sense has carried over onto the streets and into the clubs of San Francisco, giving an open and otherworldly feel to many parties.
….It can also be a personally transformative experience. "At first, this was all costuming, but now it's who I am," says Matty Dowlen, who manages El Circo's operations and looks like a cross between a carny, a hippie, and a trapper.
…. "A lot of the women in El Circo were some of the most beautiful in the world, and [Novoa] dressed them up to look even more beautiful," [Electronic musician Random] Rab says, noting that it changed how the denizens of El Circo conceived of themselves. "One day everyone was all hippied out, and then they were all tribal and tattooed."
…. El Circo strives to cultivate a new kind of culture and communal ethos.
this is what tiffa created.
she was one hell of a powerful being. powerful enough to create a vision of the world that was so mesmerizing it enchanted a whole subculture and even managed to redefine people's sense of self.
my love goes out to all my friends who are mourning her loss. she will be greatly missed. what she has created will continue to inspire countless others to pursue their creative dreams. it is bigger than life–or death.
"Tiffa Novoa, whose legendary creative and artistic impact will be forever felt, will be honored in a public memorial next week. All who knew her or were impacted by her life are invited to come and share space and memory. If you have a piece of her clothing, please feel encouraged to wear it. Also, in order to relieve her family and close friends of the necessary finances of this event, there is a suggested donation of $10. After the reception there will be a potluck gathering at a near-by park in the Oakland Hills."

If your need is to sell a commercial property, or you need a real estate agent to help lease space in a commercial building, please consider Gerspacher Real Estate Group. Learn more about the services we provide for property owners and Landlords.
We specialize in assisting our clients achieve their real estate goals. If a seller is planning to sell commercial, industrial, or investment real estate, Gerspacher Real Estate Group is here to help you. Successful commercial real estate sales require knowledge of the market, critical timing, and an experienced commercial real estate agent. Unlike residential real estate, commercial real estate may have environmental and zoning issues, more involved financing & contingencies, and are frequently purchased by partnerships, corporations or sophisticated business owners. These factors, can often make a sale more challenging. Our agents are experienced and ready to assist you with your commercial real estate sale. Read on for a more detailed overview of the services that Gerspacher Real Estate Group agents provide a seller.
VALUE ASSESSMENT OF THE MARKET - One of the most important needs from a seller or landlord is helping to understand what a property is worth and what the market is for that type of property. Our agents begin by researching zoning which impacts the potential for the property: Including but not limited to uses, restrictions, setbacks, and approval processes. Agents then begin to study tax value and determining if the property measures up to the actual value. We can also determine if the value is too high and if a property owner is being over taxed. In the end we determine what the highest and best use for the property is?
PRICING STRATEGY - Our agents review financials such as cash flow, operating expenses, taxes, and tenant rents to help determine value and to create a pricing strategy for a property in this market. Gerspacher Agents do an exceptional job educating property owners on the market as far as sales and leasing and how lease rates are supporting the asking & sales prices.
PROPERTY INSPECTION - Your Gerspacher Real Estate Agent will conduct a thorough in-person walk through of the property. The agent's review helps us to evaluate the physical condition of the property and to assess recent capital improvements, electric and gas capacity, property weaknesses and marketable features so that we can create an overview for a property owner.
GO-TO-MARKET STRATEGY - Once the agent's preliminary work is completed, he/she will review, analyze and create a strategy on how to list a property, what changes or updates are needed and get it into the market using all the data collected in the value assessment phase of the process. Our agents will follow up and review the information with the seller.
LISTING AGREEMENT - The seller and Gerspacher Real Estate Group will then sign a listing agreement to protect what is agreed upon and the terms such as price, commission rates, listing dates and other business for the listing to be presented to the market.
MARKETING - Our marketing program is one of the best in the industry with local, regional, national and even a global reach. We attract buyers, tenants, corporations both large and small from California to New York and internationally. Our program has a multi-prong approach including exposure in up to and sometimes over 15 different digital marketing mediums with reach attracting millions of property seekers. Our marketing program attracts leads that our agents follow up on to qualify potential buyers for our seller's property.
QUALIFYING LEADS - You can make a full time job out of returning texts, emails and phone calls on real estate. Our extensive experience allows us to have a higher success of filtering out prospects that wouldn't qualify as a potential buyer for any number of reasons. Our expertise has helped us locate the right buyers for thousands of properties in nearly 60 years of doing business in this industry.
CONNECTING OUR SELLERS - Gerspacher Real Estate Group has hundreds of connections with recommended sources that can help you through the ownership of your real estate including attorneys, accountants, lenders, property contractors and government officials. In order to get a deal completed, it is important for the seller to help the buyer navigate all of the buyer's inspections, financing & appraisals, and governmental approvals. Our experience allows for a much smoother process of who to talk to, when and how long it is going to take.
-Should I (property owner) take the deal now and if not, what is the risk in not taking it?
-If I don't agree now, how long might it be before I get another offer based on the vacancy rate or other opportunities in the market?
Title Company- We will help the title agent communicate and coordinate earnest money deposits, purchase contingency release, extension agreements, payoffs, and closing.
We will work with the lender to coordinate inspections, appraisals, property information, appraisal scheduling.
Physical Inspections-We will help schedule and give access to roofers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC, structural engineer, government, and various professionals to help clarify the condition of the property for the buyer.
Environmental Inspections- We will help schedule and give access to environmental professionals for Phase 1 and2 inspections, wetland delineations', survey's and other land related due diligence.
Contingency Deadlines & Extensions- We help guide the buyers on their property specific contingencies, like who to call and where to obtain a certain inspection or approval. Many agents will go to the actual governmental approvals meetings to further sell and get approved uses at zoning meetings or plans at planning meetings for municipalities.
Closing- We work with the title company to make sure your lender, attorney, insurance agent and many other professionals are doing what is necessary to close the transaction in the time allowed for in the purchase agreement.
If you think of Commercial Real Estate Investments as a "business", the first thing you will need is income; which obviously comes in the form of tenants. A major part of our business is helping landlords find tenants. Our agents are familiar with and qualified to find you quality tenants. Read on for a more detailed overview of the services that Gerspacher Real Estate Group agents provide to landlords.
VALUE ASSESSMENT OF THE MARKET - One of the most important needs from an owner/landlord is helping to understand what the current market rents are for your type of property. Our agents begin by researching other like properties to gage how to price your property. Another key factor we determine are vacancy rates – as there is obviously a direct relationship between rents and vacancy. We help assess the strengths and weaknesses of your property – comparing it to others on the market. Our agents will discuss the factors that influence value such as location, first floor or second floor, ADA compliance, and overall condition of the property.
PROPERTY INSPECTION - Your Gerspacher Real Estate Agent will conduct a tour of the property to assess the physical condition and make recommendations for property improvements to get the best return. If you don't have contractors, we can recommend trade contacts that landlords might need to make improvements to property. Our agency has hundreds of connections with recommended sources that can help a landlord through property ownership including attorneys, accountants, lenders, subcontractors and government officials.
LISTING AGREEMENT - The landlord and Gerspacher Real Estate Group will then sign a listing agreement to protect what is agreed upon and the terms such rents, sales price, commission rates, listing dates and other business for the listing property to be presented to the market.
MARKETING - Our marketing program is one of the best in the industry with local, regional, national and even a global reach. We attract buyers, tenants, corporations both large and small from California to New York and internationally. Our program has a multi-prong approach including exposure in up to and sometimes over 15 different digital marketing mediums with reach attracting millions of property seekers. Our marketing program attracts leads that our agent's follow up on to qualify potential buyers for our seller's property.
QUALIFYING LEADS - You can make a full time job out of returning texts, emails and phone calls on real estate. Our extensive experience allows us to have a higher success of filtering out prospects that work for your property and those who don't. We know what questions to ask when interviewing, we make and attend appointments to show and promote your property.
-should the landlord take the deal now and if not what is the risk in not taking it?
-If we don't agree now, how long might it be before I get another offer based on the vacancy rate or other opportunities in the market?
-We use proposal letter of intents to negotiate timing, conditions and economic terms prior to a purchase agreement. This is a great tool to use before spending money on an attorney. It ensures a higher chance of a successful agreement without the upfront expense. The one thing we are not allowed to do is prepare the lease. Real Estate agents are not allowed to practice law, and our landlords typically have legal representation that specialize in real estate law to help with this. If you don't have a real estate attorney we can recommend several who are qualified.
LEASE EXECUTION/FOLLOW UP- Once the lease is prepared, we will coordinate the signing meeting; typically we will collect the first month's rent and security deposit and pass off the keys. Then the checks and the signed leases are delivered to the landlord for their signatures. We will also go over what needs to be done; utility transfers, zoning permit process, vendor referrals, etc. Also, we pride ourselves on staying in touch with the tenants just in case there is anything we can help them with in the future.


For a growing number of twenty-first-century viewers the paintings of Johannes Vermeer reserve some of the most profound insights into the nature of human existence that a work of art can provide. The artist's ability to side-step didactic finger-wagging and picturesque anecdote, both quintessential characteristics of Dutch painting of the Golden Age, is unique, as are the formal perfection of his compositions and his precise but powerful painting technique. His few themes–letter writing, letter reading, courtship, domestic chores, and scientific inquiry—appear pertinent to today's museum goers as to those Dutch women and men who gazed upon his deceptively simple pictures 350 years ago.
The primary goal of the Essential Vermeer website is to take full advantage of the extraordinary potential of the World Wide Web and Internet Technology in order to provide a thorough and organic presentation of the art, life and cultural milieu of Vermeer. Complex art historical issues are dealt with in a straightforward manner so that they become comprehensible to the curious art lover without losing their value for inquiring writers or art specialists. News of Vermeer-related exhibitions, publications and multi-media events are reported in real time.
* Great art, for those who insist upon this rather philistine concept (as if un-great art were unworthy of even their most casual and ill-informed attention), makes us stand back and admire. It rushes upon us pell-mell like the work of Rubens or Tintoretto or Delacroix, or towers above us. There is of course another aesthetic: the art of a Vermeer or a Braque seeks not to amaze and appal but to invite the observer to come closer, to close with the painting, peer into it, become intimate with it. Such art reinforces human dignity.
As we light up, we might spare a thought for Franz Marc; he died on this date in 1916. A painter and printmaker, he was one of the key figures of the German Expressionist movement, and a founder of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a journal whose name later became synonymous with the circle of artists collaborating in it.


Drivers in Reading , Wokingham and Bracknell are warned of continuing problems with fog and ice on the roads .
Heavy freezing fog is still casting a thick haze over a lot of the South East.
This, combined with sub-zero temperatures, is creating hazardous driving conditions.
Visibility in some areas is down to just 100 metres.
The Met Office, which has issued a yellow weather warning for the area, says the fog will gradually lift and thin over the course of Friday, December 30 but some patches may persist into the evening.
Reading, Bracknell and Wokingham's fire and rescue crews confirmed there had not been any incidents on the roads overnight.
There are still problems on the M40 in Oxfordshire where a coach overturned during heavy fog at around 2.50am, leaving 17 people in hospital.
The weather has also held up flights from Heathrow Airport .
Met Office meteorologist Emma Sillitoe said: "The main thing we have had is large, dense freezing fog patches.
Thames Valley Police have warned drivers of black ice on the roads around the area..

If you are looking to congratulate a New Mom on the birth of her baby or cheer someone up with some fresh flowers, The Cape Town Florist delivers flowers and gifts to the following hospitals in and around Cape Town, South Africa.
Flowers are the perfect way to send them your well wishes and let them know that you are thinking about them.
So, if you are looking to send hospital flowers or gifts to any of the above listed hospitals you have come to the right florist.
Please bear in mind that hospitals don't always have suitable vases on hand to display the flowers and space is sometimes limited in the hospital rooms, so we would highly recommend selecting a small vase or basket arrangement. This also makes it easier for the patients to take the flowers home with them when they are discharged. Foil balloons and healthy fruit,biltong & nut gift baskets also make great hospital gifts.
As an added value service we always call the hospital beforehand to make sure that the patient is still in the hospital and if they have been discharged already then we will make alternative arrangements to have the flowers or gifts delivered to their home address, providing that this address falls withing our flower delivery area.

When I told my friends that I was going to spend some time in the neighborhoods of Shapira and Neve Sha'anan in south Tel Aviv, their spontaneous reactions were: "Don't go there at night." – "Look after your bike." – "You're gonna get robbed."
I knew that they were only reproducing stereotypes. Most of them never go to these parts of the city. Nevertheless, as I arrive there one sunny Friday morning on my bicycle, I can not help but get suspicious.
Moving around Neve Sha'anan Street does not feel like moving around in Israel. Almost all people seem to be of African or East Asian origin. Shops look different, signs are in different languages, even the smell is slightly different. It is not that I feel unsafe. But I feel like a stranger.
The policeman on Levinsky Street must be thinking the same. As I attempt to lock my bike to a fence opposite Levinsky Park, he waves at me, shouting something I can not understand. I secure my bike, take my backpack and approach him.
This gives me a twitch. If even the local police warns me, will I ever see my bike again at the end of the day?
"Social Injustices always have a spatial aspect, and social injustices can not be addressed without also addressing their spatial aspect."
Peter Marcuse
South Tel Aviv was brought to my attention when we discussed the book "Arrival City" by Doug Saunders. The author deals with the "new urban spaces that are this century's focal points of conflict and change — unseen districts of rapid transformation and febrile activity that will reshape our cities and reconfigure our economies." He calls those places arrival cities. They are places that migrants from rural areas move to in order to make a better living for themselves, but above all for their children and grandchildren and the generations to come.
Compared to other urban neighborhoods, arrival cities stand out through their rural-immigrant population, their improvised appearance, ever-changing nature and two particular kinds of linkages: there are links to the originating villages of their residents (through sending money and knowledge back and forth) and to the established city (through political institutions, business relationships, social networks and so on).
In his book Saunders describes a whole slew of examples, from Liu Gon Li in China to Istanbul in Turkey to Slotervaart in the Netherlands. Most of them cope with similar problems, one of these being the bad reputation of the neighborhood.
Maybe that is why south Tel Aviv came up immediately when we discussed the arrival city phenomenon in class. However, we never managed to determine whether it actually was an example of an arrival city. That is what I want to find out.
In Levinsky Park I encounter two brothers from Sudan. Atif and Mubarak are refugees who got here three years ago. The rest of their family still lives in Africa. They call them regularly. Sometimes they send money.
What kind of work do they do? "Everything! Whatever comes up – except for killing people." Mubarak says he learned to speak Hebrew in only three months, picked it up in the streets. That is despite the fact that he could probably live here for years and only speak in his mother tongue.
There are four or five Sudanese TV channels receivable, the brothers say, and a bunch of restaurants serve food that almost tastes like home. "It's the best food in the world. Of course it tastes a little different here, but only a little. At home, you could always taste your mother's fingers it…"
Nevertheless "life is hard", says Atif. "When I first got here, it looked just like home." He points at the other people in the park, most of them persons of the same dark color that he is. "But it is not. It feels like living in a different people." Why? "It's probably not like that in Germany, but in Sudan families normally have about ten kids. When three of them turn out bad – well, that's normal", explains Mubarak. "But here, everybody seems to be bad."
Atif, who is the younger one, is fed up with it. He will turn 26 in four weeks, but he has no intentions to celebrate his birthday in Israel. "I want to go home."
"The crucial paradox of the arrival city is that its occupants all want to stop living in an arrival city", writes Saunders. That is not the only factor that makes Atif and Mubarak typical examples of the neighborhood's residents.
Neve Sha'anan, which translates to "tranquil abode", of all things, was founded in the 1920s, just as the nearby Shapira. Located around both the Old and the New Central Bus Station, they are major transportation hubs. Maybe that is why "since the 1920s, [these neighborhoods] have had waves of immigration", as local architect Sharon Rotbard says.
"The first was Eastern European; the next brought Jews from Salonika [Greece], Bulgaria, and Turkey. The 1930s saw an influx of Bukhari from Central Asia." In the 1990s, Bukhari and Russians dominated the scape of south Tel Aviv. The latest wave, which started around 2005, consists mainly of Eritreans and Sudanese.
"While the state issues the asylum seekers visas, it calls them "illegal infiltrators" and does not allow them to work. So they scrape by on odd jobs and crowd into inexpensive apartments, sleeping as many as 20 to one room. Some refugees live in south Tel Aviv's parks."
These waves are typical of arrival cities, and they constitute a paradox: "the more successful they are, the higher the apparent poverty rate. If people are able to leave within a generation for more prosperous middle-class homeowner districts, the neighborhood will be constantly refilled with new migrants from poor rural regions. It appears unchangingly poor and segregated only if you fail to observe the trajectory of each resident."
But what are the trajectories of south Tel Aviv's residents?
"Most of them move farer away from the city, to Ramla, Petah Tikva and the like", says Yonatan Mishal. Until very recently, he was one of the roughly ten per cent of Neve Sha'anans residents who are born Israeli. For 15 years, he observed the development of the neighborhood, guided tourists through it and got involved in community and art projects.
We take a walk together as the sun begins to set.
There are some people in the streets, shopping, talking on the phone or just hanging around in small groups. Jammed between barbershops, cellphone stores and exchange offices ("The best rates in the city!", as Yonatan says) are quite a few cafés and bars, but most of them are empty. In a neighborhood where the average flat is shared by no less than eight people, I would have expected to see many more. Where is everybody?
"They are in the backyards", says Yonatan with a mysterious smile. Only then I realize the design of most of the buildings: they are small, narrow two-story houses that were originally planned as units with housing or business space in the front and space for individual farming in the back. Today's residents have turned the farming into meeting spaces.
Sneaking through the backdoors and peeking through some of the open windows reveals a whole new dimension of the neighborhood. In one room a group of young men is playing pool. In another one, there is an Eritrean bar where people are watching a football match.
"These places are private, but they operate like public spaces", says Yonatan. "Every backyard belongs to another community. Isn't that amazing?" It is. Especially since it is another crucial attribute of the arrival city.
A study of Shapira found "that residents tend to prefer intra-ethnic social networks […] All these groups live in the neighborhood side by side, brush against each other, ignore one another, act by the social code of the neighborhood 'live and let live'- and carry out, each separately, its unique lifestyle."
This leads to what Saunders describes as "a new hybrid, a culture of arrival created by trapped people. […] People here live in the contradictions between the two cultures, without being a member of either one."
"This is what the Dutch call a "Dish City" | An isolated urban island linked by television to the cultures of the Maghreb and the larger Arab world, with little connection to the Netherlands."
"Did you notice?", asks Yonatan. "There are garbage cans instead of benches, there is a sewage drain in the middle of the street." He shakes his head at two police men who unconcernedly pass by an obvious trading spot for stolen bicycles. (I find myself quickly scanning the display, checking if mine is already among them.)
These might be some small examples in favor of the accusations that Aharon Maduel from the municipal political party Ir LeKulanu has been making for years. ""How do you turn [south Tel Aviv] into an area for the rich?" Maduel says. "First of all, you weaken the area... forcing the people who have enough money to run... Only the weakest stay; the value of their houses goes down drastically; and the [investors] come and purchase, purchase, purchase... ""
New apartment buildings | Heralds of gentrification already emerge on the outer borders of the neighborhood.
Heralds of gentrification already emerge on the outer borders of the neighborhood. Apartment houses are being built or renovated. Artists from a local art school have established their studios on the site of the Old Bus Station. There are plans for new apartment buildings and a park right next to it. A while ago, a fund was established that pays every student from Tel Aviv University 10.000 NIS per year if he or she moves here.
"Of course the residents are offended by this", Yonatan says. "Why give all this money to people who need to be convinced to move here, while they have been living here for years?" But most of these people are not citizens.
"They don't vote, so no one cares."
Yonatan "The state imposes a constant situation of injustice."
"Spatial remedies are necessary but not sufficient to remedy spatial injustices – let alone social injustice."
The residents seem to be resigned about political participation or taking action on a larger scale. As Atif and Mubarak told me earlier, they feel that all Israelis hate them. That is no surprise, given that they were here already when "south Tel Aviv [was] on fire" due to protests and clashes in 2011 and 2012.
The two are not there anymore when I get back to Levinsky Park in the evening. The sun has gone down now, but the Park is still bright – illuminated by huge floodlights that give the impression of surveillance rather than safety.
The women who had been picnicking with their children on the playground earlier have vanished. Instead, there are mostly men in the park now. However, it is not a dangerous atmosphere – maybe because the space is very open, its interior is visible from the outside. And then there is the police station right next to it, of course.
Against the noise of the street, young men are playing volleyball on the fenced field, some are sitting on the benches or in the grass, and in one corner the volunteers of Levinsky Soup are setting up a long table. They give out 400 portions of soup every evening.
It is just one of several projects that take small steps rather than big action – and nevertheless have a great impact on the neighborhood. The Garden Library, for instance, opens three times a week in the early evening. It holds books in 16 different languages. Volunteers look after the kids who love to come and play here. They offer language lessons and movie nights. Over the course of five years, the library gained 450 subscribers – and the trust of the neighborhood, which I can tell as one of the kids whom I attempt to photograph asks me, "are you one of them? No? Then don't take my picture, please."
These kinds of remedies help out if city officials do not recognize the necessity of spatial measures. Acknowleding south Tel Aviv as an arrival city, rather than desperately trying to turn it into something else, is the one big step they need to take. Because "arrival cities are the places where the next great economic and cultural boom will be born, or where the next great explosion of violence will occur. The difference depends on our ability to notice, and our willingness to engage."

Did it rain before the Flood?
By Eric Hovind|Beginner, Creation News Articles|
It is not possible to give a definitive answer to this question. We know that there was no rain in the Garden of Eden at the time of Creation (Genesis 2:5). We do not know, however, that there was no rain after the Creation Week was over.
One of the reasons for this question is that it used to be taught that there was a canopy around the Earth's atmosphere before the Flood. Creation scientists no longer use the Canopy Theory.

How do you level design?
Is level design Easy?
What is good level design?
Does level design require coding?
How can I improve my level design?
What is included in the detail design phase?
Level designers draw inspiration from the concept art and the game design document (GDD) to create a believable environment, establish the boundaries of the game, set up the pacing and composition of each level, as well as maintain a style consistent with the game's objectives.
Level design in general is very difficult. You never know if something is too easy or too hard. An easy level to you may be impossible to others. I suggest always having a friend or even a family member testing your games (don't make the same person test multiple times, they will eventually learn your game).
What games have the best level design?
So what other games have the most intricate and complex level design?…Whether complex or just well made, but often felt like a playgound of some sort:
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.
Hitman 4: Blood Money.
Hitman (2016)
Thief 2.
What skills do level designers need?
Level Designers may require the following skills:
Artistic talent.
Storytelling skills.
Methodical mindset.
Knowledge of architectural principles.
Ability to transform 2D concepts to 3D objects.
Understanding of how objects respond to the laws of physics.
Deep understanding of gameplay and game engagement.
Good level design means the player went down a certain path, or toward a direction, not because it was the correct way to go, but because something caught their interest. A good example of this is Banjo-Kazooie, a game that nearly twenty years later still boasts some of the funnest worlds of any 3D platformer.
Most level design positions involves scripting of game events and their triggers, but not coding of the gameplay, user interface, economics, physics, multiplayer and other game systems.
What tools do level designers use?
Among the most well-known and used tools to create and edit levels in video games are 3D Studio Max, Photoshop, Blender, AutoCAD, Lightwave, Maya, Softimage XSI, Unity, Unreal Engine, or Grome – usually customized with a special plugin developed for the specific game.
Where do level designers work?
Level designers usually reports to the gameplay designer. They train the testers to play the game and also work closely with artists and programmers.
Here are some level design tips to improve an already existing level: examine and play the level, notice every detail, what works and what doesn't work, and above all, be willing to change the facets of the game design. You need to be open-minded going into each process. Above all, take RISKS!
The detail design phase defines the complete specification of the geometry, materials, and tolerances of all the parts through the provision of detail drawings, assembly drawings, and general assembly drawings. It also includes the specification of all the bought-out parts complete with preferred suppliers and component designations.
What is detail design and why is it important?
Like the other phases of product development, detail design is an iterative process. Design trade-offs are made as the design team learns more about the impact of design decisions on the performance, reliability, and cost of the product.
What happens in step one of the level design process?
In Step One, you'll learn how to identify any constraints and limitations for the level you're designing. In Step Two, he'll show you how to make intelligent decisions on what should go into a level. This section will deal with brainstorming and structure.

Bullet Tooth signs Knockout Kid
Wednesday, September 02, 2015 12:53 PM PT
Bullet Tooth is excited to announce the worldwide signing of Knockout Kid from Chicago. Their unique brand of aggressive pop punk hardcore has solidified them as one of the frontrunners of the scene, and they've spent the last year touring the U.S. and Canada extensively in support of their self-released debut, ICWTJD. Having been compared to Four Year Strong, A Day To Remember, and The Wonder Years, Knockout Kid hit the studio earlier this year to add their own twist on the sound they have come to call their own. The debut twelve-song album Manic will be released worldwide on Bullet Tooth in early 2016 on LP/CD/digital.
Watch the official announcement video at YouTube featuring a clip of a new song titled "Going Going Gone" below. The album also features a guest vocal from Kid Liberty singer, and Bullet Tooth alumni, Trey Sexton, on the track "Jurassic Park After Dark."
Speaking on the signing, the band said, "Joining the Bullet Tooth family is a dream come true for Knockout Kid. Having grown up on bands from Josh and Bullet Tooth, it's only right that they release our most ambitious album to date. The future has never been brighter."

The Life of Lady Worsley
Lady Worsley broke all the rules of polite society. The Scandalous Lady W, starring Natalie Dormer, recently told the colourful tale of the 18th century's most public, tabloid worthy relationship in a BBC drama.
A detailed view of Lady Worsley's portrait
A beautiful and wealthy heiress, Seymour Dorothy Fleming was one of England's most eligible bachelorettes. On the 20th September 1775, at the age of 17, she married Sir Richard Worsley. Now known as Lady Worsley, Seymour brought £52,000 to the union which is the equivalent of over £6 million in today's money.
Lady Worsley was a spirited and independent young woman. She wasn't afraid to say what she thought and do what she wanted, something that at the time, was not expected of a woman. Wives were expected to do their husband's bidding and were seen as property in the same way as cattle or land.
In November 1781, Lady Worsley eloped with Captain George Bissett, a friend of her husbands, leaving her 4 month old baby behind. This act of defiance prompted Sir Richard to bring a criminal conversation case (adultery, with one of his officers) for £20,000 against Bissett. Lady Worsley made the courageous decision to support Bissett, publicly humiliating herself and her position in society.
Testimony was provided by a number of Lady Worsley's 27 lovers and her doctor, William Osborn. He testified that she had suffered from a venereal disease which she had contracted from the Marquess of Graham. This acted as evidence that Bissett had not been alone in committing adultery with Lady Worsley.
Although Sir Richard looked to have a strong case, it was undone by a final piece of evidence. Rather than suppressing their relationship, it was later proven that Sir Richard had displayed his wife naked to George Bissett at the bathhouse in Maidstone encouraging the affair. This evidence destroyed Sir Richard's suit and the jury awarded him only 1 shilling in damages.
It's hard to imagine what determination she must of had to leave her husband during that time period. The scandal would be shocking by today's standards never mind in polite Georgian society! It could be argued that Lady Worsley showed great resolve in the way she approached the case. It was a brave move to present her romantic encounters so bluntly in defense of Captain Bissett.
Today, the famous Joshua Reynolds painting of Lady Wolsey hangs in the Cinnamon Drawing Room of Harewood House. The portrait depicts the young Lady Worsley in the milita uniform of her husband.
How is Lady Worsley related to the Lascelles family?
Seymour Dorothy Fleming was the younger daughter of Sir John Fleming of Brompton Park and his wife, Lady Jane Coleman. Her father and two of her sisters died when she was just 5 years old and she and her elder sister, Jane Harrington, were raised by their mother. Her mother remarried in 1770 to Edwin Lascelles, 1st Lord Harewood making Lady Worsley the step-daughter of Edwin.
What can I see at Harewood about Lady Worsley?
As well as the famous painting, we are showing letters written to "Mr Hewitt" which relay the scandalous exploits of Lady Worlsey and her two companions during a Christmas meeting at Harewood in 1778. The account explains how "Lady Worsley and two Miss Cramers threw most of the gentlemen's clothes out of the window, particularly their breeches, thinking them I suppose unnecessary."
Can I see the painting?
Yes, visitors to Harewood House can explore the House, grounds and see the painting in the Cinnamon Drawing Room. Call 0113 218 1000 or go to our Visit page for details.

British Airways Is Getting Rid of Reclining Seats on Some Flights
Credit: Artur Widak/Getty Images
British Airways passengers may want to prepare for a pain in the neck. Literally.
The airline is doing away with reclining seats on short-haul flights, a BA spokesperson confirmed to The Telegraph. That reportedly applies to flights lasting four hours or less. The new seats will go into the airline's new fleet of 35 Airbus A320neos and A321neos, which are scheduled to come into service later this year.
Related: Hawaiian Airlines' New Planes Could Mean Cheaper, More Direct Flights to the Islands
The spokesperson claims the seats will make things comfortable for all passengers, since people won't have the ability to lean too far back and encroach on the seat behind them. Seats will all be set at a "gentle recline" and will stay that way. The airline's version of "gentle" has not yet been clearly defined.
"As well as new long-haul aircraft, we have 35 brand new short-haul planes arriving over the next five years," the spokesperson said. "The new aircraft will have brand new seats set to a gentle recline to ensure everyone in the cabin enjoys a comfortable journey."
Related: There's a Secret Button on Your Airplane Seat That Will Give You More Room
Perhaps to help draw attention away from the fact that seats will no longer recline, the airline also announced they will add new amenities including "at-seat power throughout the aircraft" and onboard Wi-Fi. "These changes will also allow us to offer more low fares to customers," the spokesperson said.
But this may do little to help customers feel better about booking with British Airways. In January of 2017 the airline stopped food service for short-haul flights and in August of 2016 it replaced the second meal on its economy "World Traveller" menu with a fun-sized candy bar. So you might be hungry and stiff, but at least you won't be fighting with the person in the seat in front of you over legroom.


This is a banded water snake, discovered . by my dogs about 10 yds from where I was grilling dinner. When I went to see what the rucus was all about, the snake was already mortally wounded.
Super sharp, nice composition, clever (though perfectly descriptive) title, and great excellent colors. Well done.
Nice focus and lighting, good depth on this, 7.
Nice detail and DOF. He doesn't look like he really wanted to model for you.
