The United Nations has voiced grave concern over the Saudi-backed militant attack on Yemeni city of Hudaydah.
"We're extremely concerned about the situation around Hudaydah. Our colleagues in the area have started to take precautionary measures in terms of ramping up assistance and redefining contingency plans in case of this further escalation," said UN Secretary-General spokesperson Stephane Dujarric on Tuesday.
"Increased fighting would unleash even more internally displaced people,"he added.
Since Sunday, forces loyal to Yemen's former government and supported by Saudi Arabia have been closing in on Hudaydah which is a key entry point for the country's humanitarian aid.
On Sunday, the Leader of Yemen's Ansarullah movement said Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are puppets of Washington and Tel Aviv.
Abdul Malik Badreddin al-Houthi made the remarks during a televised address aired by al-Masirah TV channel on Sunday, where he accused the US and Israel of pushing Saudi Arabia towards its deadly war on Yemen.
"The decision of invading the Yemeni western coast has been taken and adopted by the United States of America," he added.


The City of Dubbo is a local government area in the Orana region of New South Wales, Australia.
The area is located adjacent to the Mitchell, Newell, and the Golden highways, the Main Western railway line, and the Macquarie River.
The largest population centre is the regional city of Dubbo.
Total population is 41,211 (2011).

Welcome To Undiscovered Classics
WELCOME TO UNDISCOVERED CLASSICS!
"We find, research, restore, show and sell
America's lost automotive treasures"
Undiscovered Classics focuses on the history behind and the celebration of American handcrafted sports cars from the postwar era. Largely untold, this story and these cars were central to the theme of postwar sports car development and appreciation, influencing design and expectations for Detroit and America in a significant way.
1957 Byers SR100 – Owner Guy Dirkin
What We Do – And How You Can Help
We don't just write about history. Instead, we go out and find the history whether it be in magazines, archives, the cars themselves and the people that designed and built them.
Cars with names such as Glasspar, Wildfire, Allied, Tiburon, Byers, Meteor, Kurtis, LaDawri, Grantham Stardust, Devin, Victress and so many more. And what we find gets shared with folks – real time – on the web, in magazines, on TV, in podcasts and on our Facebook page (and other social media outlets too).
Undiscovered Classics is not the mission of just one person. It's an opportunity to participate with research itself and the restoration and celebration of these lost cars. It's not a passive enterprise – it's an active one where you can make a difference.
Glasspar G2 – Owner Jerry Wood
And it's far more than an individual effort – it's a community and family of those automobile enthusiasts who want to participate and have fun in a completely different way – one where you can have an impact on the history and appreciation of these cars in the automotive community at large.
Check out our website and engage yourself learning about these special cars. Then take time to visit the cars for sale in our store. You may find an exciting project that you can make your own, and we stand ready to help you take your new acquisition from dream to reality.
Have fun and welcome aboard.

During my interview with Bill Tritt, I asked him what material he used for the firewall on his Glasspar G2. Bill said wood. Wood, I replied? Isnt that flammable? Yep, Tritt replied with a chuckle….you think we might have chosen something different, but its what we used at the time, and it held up pretty well. (Note: Most fiberglass sports cars during the 1950s used wood firewalls. Not until the late 1950s was this material substituted with fiberglass or metal).

Q: External resources in JSFiddle not working I want to ask a question about jquery menu aim, then I have to put my code in jsfiddle with some external resources. I did this but it didn't work. Could any one tell what's wrong here?
Thanks.

A: You're linking to the github pages that display those files not the actual files that live on github. No, github isn't a CDN but it can absolutely be used to serve files.
As an example, try changing:
https://github.com/kamens/jQuery-menu-aim/blob/master/jquery.menu-aim.js
to
https://raw2.github.com/kamens/jQuery-menu-aim/master/jquery.menu-aim.js
and
https://github.com/kamens/jQuery-menu-aim/blob/master/example/css/bootstrap-responsive.css
to
https://raw2.github.com/kamens/jQuery-menu-aim/master/example/css/bootstrap-responsive.css
There are some issues with linking to files directly on github. Namely, everything is served as text/plain. As an alternative, you can use the http://rawgithub.com/ service. So the jQuery Menu link would become:
http://rawgithub.com/kamens/jQuery-menu-aim/master/jquery.menu-aim.js
Updated fiddle pointing at the correct github URLs: http://jsfiddle.net/X8w5M/12/
EDIT:
Note that the bootstrap CSS doesn't work in that fiddle because fiddle expects CSS to be served as text/css. Changing the bootstrap CSS link to http://rawgithub.com/kamens/jQuery-menu-aim/master/example/css/bootstrap.css brings it back to life.
EDIT 2
Here's a working fiddle with using rawgithub to serve the CSS and github to serve the JS. http://jsfiddle.net/X8w5M/18/

A: Github is not a CDN. You have to use CDN links to embed external resources to jsfiddle. You can use the below links as external resources.
http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.menu-aim/0.1/jquery.menu-aim.min.js
http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.0/css/bootstrap.min.css
http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.0/js/bootstrap.min.js
Try these.

A new look when generated spell cards have been created.
I see that I really have to go through all the spells and look for extra lines. Be patient and I'll try to go over the spell the next couple of days. I might tweak the final look of the PDF.
Yep i finally got the time to fix the sign-up-bug.
And while I was at it I changed the email provider for the forgotten-password-emails. Dont know if they have, but they shouldn't get stuck in the spam folders any more.
I've started to get a couple of emails about changes to the spells.
Im trying to go through the changes as they come in.
Some EE-spells have been revised and updated so if you are a heavy user of EE-spells, its time to print out a new spell book.
I would like to specially thank Sean, one of my users who sent me a list of small alterrations that I'd never would have seen.
After yesterday's major update the register / sign up function is broken. I'll try to take a look at it later today.
Ok, so the new spells have been added. Weeei !
- I know some of the descriptions are a bit off, Im gonna attend to them tomorrow. Feel free to send me a notice if you find some error with the spells, use the form on the /contact -page.
- I rewrote some of the pages and ran some tests, all should be good.. But if not, please use the contact-form to let me know.
I had some problems with the update.
It looks like there is a bug at my server provider and I need to get in touch with them (not doing this on a Sunday again soon..), a ticket is opened and Im hoping the issue will be resolved tomorrow or the day after.
You have to manage without the Xanathar's spells for a couple of days longer then planed.
Tomorrow I'll take the page offline for a major update.
After the update the new spells from Xanathar's Guide To Everything will be added. The page might go online and offline several times during the update and strange errors might occur.
Feel free to spread the word.
Later today (in about 4-5 hours) the site will be down for maintenance. Don't know exactly for how long the site will be down. But hopefully this will fix some issues with the site.
It seems that Facebook have some issues with some of their services right now and It can affect users who login to the site using Facebook.
So, times fly and features get postponed.
Some of you might remember that me and my GF moved in together this summer and that I really didn't have the time and energy to give the site it's full attention.
I've got a request a couple of days ago.
So, I've added the option to include or exclude the spell-slot-info on the top of the generated Spell Cards / PDFs.
Thanks for the input and the kind words Jim.
The default color when you use the white layout is now black. And the size of the text on the spell and spell-light page is a bit bigger. Should be easier on the eyes when using the page for a longer time.
I've gotten a couple of donations the last few weeks..
My GF thinks I drink to much beer, which is not true. I can still see my feet!
So the server update seems to go great. The page was down for about 40 minutes yesterday.
It took a couple minutes more to get the print/generate spell cards to work again. I see a huge difference in performance and I hope you do too.
Let me know if there's any function that stoped working after the update.
The site will be down for a couple of hours tomorrow.
I've been testing the site with a different setup and I'm very pleased with the results. The /spell and /spells_light will load waaaay faster.
I'll keep you posted with any changes.
So we have reached 10 000 users and the competition is ended.
I still in the middle of moving. This means no Internet, no RPG no computers.. I don't even know when the Internet will be installed (the horror !!!!).
Added fields for spell slots, spellcasting ability, spell save dc and spell attack bonus to the generated PDFs and printable version for the Spellbook-pages.
Updated the layout when you print directly from the Spellbook-page.
Anything else you want added?
To celebrate the upcoming of 10 000 users you now have the chance to win a t-shirt or an ad-free account.
To participate visit this post.
To be able to win you have to Like and / or Share the post on Facebook.
The competition will continue until we reach 10 000 users.
34% of you wants a whole new page with only the custom spells.
37 % of you wants a whole new page that includes the original spells as well.
25% of you wants the keep the old page but include custom spells with a filter-function.
I'm still brainstorming with myself here. But It's nice with feedback and you seem to like my surveys so let's boot up another one.
The percentage is around the same as the last update.
65% wants to include custom spells as a feature.
Some of you have left some good comments, keep 'em coming..
The ability to select what classes can use the spells is of course something that we need.
Custom spells. Should we even do it?
I get this question A LOT. Will this page support it, does it support it, where can I add my own spells and so on.
Add custom spells ? Merge them with the others? Create a separate page for these spells all together.
Open up for other games? Or try to make a template so we know that the spells "works" for D&D ?
Feels like a huge project either way.
Apparently since I added support for IE the spells_light -page some users have had this issue (not all).
I revised the feature I added a couple of weeks ago.
You no longer see how many cantrips that are prepared in a spellbook.
You do how ever see the number of added cantrips in a spellbook and number of spells + prepared. Much easier and better overview when creating a new character. Especially when you start at a higher level than of level 1.
I was hoping to get the sorting order of the spells (cantrip -> 9) worked out before this weekend. But unfortunate I haven't had the time nor thought of a good way to fix it.
Just to make it a bit more easier on you I have gone back to call Cantrips "level 0" on some of the spell-pages. This will help you when you want to brows the spells by level.
AKA. "Or finally I fixed support for IE"
Yeah, that's right. You are now able to generate PDFs / spell cards while using IE / Edge. My access to a windows-based computer is restricted so there haven't been much testing. I tried it in IE11 and Edge and it worked So I hope I can leave it there!
Let me know if it doesn't work for you.
But it would be nice if you include a Windows-version and IE / Edge -version for debugging.
Noo !! No, not the musical.
But I have moved some resources over to another platform so users from America should have some fast downloads of the pages / files.
+I added (open in new browser) link on the /spell -page.
There was some problem with resetting the filters under the Class-spell-pages. Thanks to a user and a awesome step-by-step guide I was able to quickly re-create the problem and fix it.
I took a look on the Class-exclusive-pages and fixed the sorting-lists aswell.
Got another request from a user.
This time they wanted to be able to see just how many spells they have prepared in a spellbook. Kind of hard to keep count while playing and when you have imported all the spells from a class.
I decided to separete the number of prepared spells by cantrips and lvl 1 spells and higer.
Im still testing this, and you can see the number of active spells obove the Spellbook-icon or below the name of the spellbook.
Now the buttons work on the spells-light-index.
They will now change between +/- when you add the spells in the active spellbook.
The icons that does not update when your are adding or removing a spell from the spell-beta (light) page have been bugging me for a while now and it's time to fix it.
In D&D things doesn't always goes as planned. Sometimes it's even better and more fun when it doesn't.
This week to celebrate 8000 users I ran a little donation campaign to let users get rid of the ads for a lower price. Also the plan was to match the sum of a donation and give it to the Save the Children foundation. We did hit the 8 000 mark which for me, is a huge step. But..
To celebrate 8k members I'll double up on the donation. It only takes $5 to disable the ads. Of Course you can donate other sums as well.
For every dollar donated I will match the sum and donate to the Save the Children foundation.
We are only about hundred new accounts away to hit 8 000 users!
10 months ago I wrote the article; 100 and counting (100 accounts) and look at this now. I couldn't imagine that this page would grow like this.
Thank you for all the kind words I've gotten over these past months. Not only about the new design but for the core features on this page.
The default size of the spell cards have been A4 (a European but non-North American standard). There's not much in difference between the A4 and US Letter so I decided to go with the latter. I've tried a couple of prints and I can't see any difference between spell card in Letter and A4.
If there are some users who would like the A4 back, let me know and I'll add a radio button where you can select the size of paper. But try it out first.
I've gotten some emails from users with the request of only show the spell from "that" class. But, I haven't really seen a use for it when you so easily can use the filters. But I decided to go ahead with it any way.
Under the menu Class you will find the "class exclusive" spells and under the menu Spells you will find a subpages with classes which have "class available" spells. I hope some of you will find it useful.
So the boost in performance looks good.
And now all traffic is over https, this will keep the traffic encrypted but primarily speed things up a bit. I hope you like it.
I don't know if anyone will notice.
But I decrease the loading time of some of the pages with a second. Doesn't sound like much for some, but in the long run it will make a difference.
I'll soon force the visitors to use https over normal http, this too will help with the page load. I'll leave this release for 12-24 hours and monitor the perfomance before I do something else.
Fixed a bug on the Spell-light-beta-page that made it not render correctly if you were logged in but hadn't created a spellbook.
A little "how-to" meets "FAQ"
Just so you quickly will be able to get going with your spell books and spells.
I don't know if you like stats or not, but here it is. Well, some kind of beginning at least.
I've gotten some PMs from users that feel that the scroll was a bit strange. And I agree, the smooth-thingy didn't work out and had to go.
Im still tweaking and the page might feel a bit slow at times. Files will be compressed and the respons should get better.
So, almost two days have passed and things are going.. ok.. A little bug here, a typo there. Bear with me for a couple of days. Some optimization needs to be done as well.
A couple of people have approached me about the new layout. Asking if there is a chance that they can change the background color to some thing more dark. And yes.
Im starting to like the way the new (and hopefully last) layout is heading.
Trying different ways of interacting with the navigation. In this image the spellbooks has it's own navigation that follows you around throughout the pages.
Wednesdays looks like it have the lowest number of visitors of the week... so perhaps we should go for it?
It's just under ten questions.
Will you help me out? Just some questions about how you use the page, layouts and such.
I noticed that some mails for the password-reset didn't get delivered to the users so Im trying out another solution. I hope this will work out for you.
1. Register a new account using Facebook.
3. Connect your D&D-spells-account with a Facebook account for easy login. Take a look under User Profile.
The spells made me do it!
The new Spells-page included a little bug for the navigation.
When new users created a spellbook or when none was active, the navigation got a bit scared and ran away.. This made all the books sympathise with the navigation and dedicated to roll a natural twenty on a hide-roll.
On the spell-index-page "Spells Light" i added some icons so it's easier to see that you can expand the rows to see the spells description. You can click on the right side of the name all the way past the Level column.
It looks like you haven't been able to share your spellbooks with the public for a while. I've missed that this feature was down.
I grouped the spells under a source.
You can now filter the source of the spell with a filter on the spell-index-page. No need to select yes/no under EE and SCAG. Just hit source instead.
So I'm working on a new version of the spell page. Mostly to be able to add spells to an active spellbook without a page-reload. But I didn't really like the bloated information on the old version (that some of you really like).
On the new page you are able (at this moment) sort by name or level, search by name or description. Add selected spells to a book or generate a PDF with spell cards.
Everything should now properly work.
In the last update it snuck up a bug that doesnt allow the users to select multiple spells and use the button "Add selected to active spellbook".
You can still add them from the spell-page or use the buttons on the right on the spell-index-page.
So now you should finally be able to toggle the prepared spell / icon and have a correct view of the state.
After some time I located a bit of code that did not execute the same way on my development machine..
You should now be able to switch between which spellbook that is active regardless what page you are visiting.
Ok so this is kinda weird.
Been beta-testing the new way to activate the books for a while now. But when I release the function to the public the navigation got a bit messy. There are duplicate names rendered for the books until activate a new one. But after a page-reload its a bit messy again.
Im sorry to say that Im all out of time today and I have to leave it like this for a while (24 hours). But you can get a feel for it.
So, I've been flying around in the world the last week. Unfortunately i picked up a bad cold and my constitution modifier was a bit low.. so.. you know.. sinusitis.
But now Im getting better and is slowly starting to code again.
I've been trying out a way to switch between active spellbooks directly from the navigation and Im happy with the results, so this will go live on the next release.
So I decided to give the members an option to get rid of the ads. I got a couple of questions about this over the last couple of weeks.
So, when you buy me a beer (donate up to the sum of $10) the ads will be removed when you are logged in.
I have to manually add the users who have donated, and if you use another email address when you donate just give send me a mail with what address you used and Ill add it to your account.
- Is the new navigation better? worse?
- A better view for users with higher resolution.
- New section with stats.
+ Be able to activate another spellbook from the navigation.
A updated navigation is on the way. It makes it easier to select which spellbook is active and the spellbook-page is getting a new look to make it easier to view from smaller devices.
I'm rewriting the spell-page to be able to expand more information about the spell without the need to open it up in another tab. You should also be able to add a spell to the active spellbook without the need of a page-reload.
Just added a highlight to the "Activate book"-button under Manage Spellbooks.
Remember that you have to have a activated spellbook to be able to add more / custom spells.
For clarification I have now added the text prepare / prepared to the toggle function of a spellbook.
Perhaps it's time to end the beta.
The number of reported bugs is down to zero (I hope that you just blindly accept an error) and I dont get many new requests for new features. I feel like the site works "ok" and I can move on. The site will need a new look and some features might be rewritten and optimized.
The rate of new registered users have lowered a bit and about hundred new users is created ever other day (I still think it's freakin' awesome number).
The PDFs now have the spellbook name in the top if you generate them from a spellbook.
Cantrips for every one !
In the class-exclusive list of spells I had to remove the feature to be able to select a couple of spells and add them to the activated spellbook. This feature will be back in a later version. You can still single-click to add or remove the spells from the icon to the right.
Ean and a couple of other users have asked if there is a way to share a spellbook..
I added a feature where you can share a link to your spellbook. There is no way to copy / add / change anything with the spells or the books, but they can view it.
I've added the feature under the Classes menu. The pages ain't pretty but they work. Perhaps later on I'll add some class information, care to provide me with it?
Finally there is going to be an update.
I've gotten help from some friends that will go through the spells with me and check the description and move the (components info) to the Components column and split the info about At Higher Levels to it's own column. The text in the description will be formatted for easier read.
There might be some formatting error on the print with special characters but hopefully it's fixed during the day.
No more user registration required to read up on the EE spells.
Ooh, and I added an about-page.
So, forcing user registration to be able to access the spells from EE was a way to get some beta-testing-accounts and feedback going on this site.
Now when that is done the EE spells will be accessed without an account. But of course you need to have an account if you want to save a spellbook and keep track of your spell slots.
The next update will be out later this week.
Some quick info. You have 10 slots, every slot can be increased to 10. If there is a reason why you need to be able to increase it further let me know.
It doesn't look pretty in every mobile and landscape mode is prefered. I'll put it on the to-do-list.
When you view your spellbook for the first time the slots will be created and the page will reload.
Later this day I will release a new feature.
Yes, spell slots are finally here. Nothing fancy and nothing that looks what class or level you are.
In general there is 9 slots, I added one more if you have any house rules or I've missed some feature or so. And yes, the normal spellcaster can have 4 spells in the first spells slot, but here you can toggle between 0 - 10.
Many users asked for this feature and I hope you will like it.
Made a tweak for the toggel-preparation function and every thing should work again.
I've gotten a couple of emails with the question "how do i add more spells to a spellbook" so I thought I'd make a beta-post.
Yeah, well like every plan you ever had have worked out !
So, Im a bit behind the schedule.. I've been working on the spell-toggle-thingy for the active spellbook when I get a couple of minutes to spare, and I'm not really there yet. I think i need to revise the code and start from another angle.
It's been awhile since my last update of the page. Just popped in to let you know I updated two spells that didn't have complete descriptions. If you stumble upon more spells that are missing descriptions or have a some other kind of issue please let me know.
I hope that I don't need to revert back from this one.
So, now you should be able to toggle the prepared-status without a page reload. Use the stars. I noticed that you sometimes need to hit the stare twice so be patience. After the toggle you do need to change the filter or sort once. So if you only filter on "Prepared" and hit the filled stare to turn it off, you still need to change the filter or sort the spells in another order. Im gonna tweak this a bit.
First try with out the page reload..
I pushed a new version just now but I had to revert back immediately. The release worked great in develop mode but in production we had some issues in the /spellbook/view-section. I need a bit more time to debug. But I think you sone enough will be able to toggle prepared / not-prepared with out the page reloading all the time.
Or even better ! 999 accounts !
I can't believe it! Im getting some nice feedback every day and a couple of requests every week. Im really glad that people find this tool useful.
The number of error-reports is down to around 0,2 / week so perhaps it's time to leave the beta-stage. But I keep adding more and more features and I do rewrite the code to optimize the load time for the pages.
It's good to be prepared!
You can now prepare and un-prepare your spells in a spellbook, just toggle the stars. I'm sorry for the page-reload between every click but it seems like I dont have much free time on my hands. An update WILL come.
Ofcourse you are able to filter the spells by prepared under the /view spellbook-page.
Filter by Prepared and then choose how you would like to sort them. Level and Name is my favorite. How about you?
The beta and news will be back on the front page in a later release. I still need to tweak it a bit.
I decided to make it a bit easier to create news and beta notices.
So I rebuilt the backend to be able to manage the articles in a better way. The front page was starting to get a bit long. From now on you will just see a couple of news and beta announcements on the front page and you have to go to the /articles page to see them all. It's not all tested so don't get too upset if something is a bit off.
In the end of June we hit 100 registered accounts, it took about 30 days from when we opened registration.
Well, a couple of days ago we got the 700th user. I get a lot of emails from users who love this tool and are eager to see what's next.
Even if I don't have the same amount of time new features will be added.
I've cleaned up how the print will look from the "view" Spellbook page. Remember that it's up to the browser how to output the information. Ex. Safari will print the spells as the page is, while Google Chrome will fill the width of the page with one spell (as meant).
I've added the ability to choose how the PDF will sort the spells when it's generated. By default it's the default order..duh! (level, a-z), but you can choose to generate the PDF by the way the tables state.
It's important that you first sort the spells and after that's done, you can check / mark the spells.
When you go to your profile you are now able to change your email address, update the password and delete your account. Of course this will delete all of your spellbooks.
You are now able to rename the spellbooks. Go to Manage Spellbooks and choose the spellbook from your list, keep an eye out to the right side.
The summer holydays is over and now there is time to get going..
The summer vacation is over and now there is time to get going.. I've got some nice input from a couple of users and added a few requests.
Please let me know if you find some thing that is broken.
You can no longer add the same spell twice to the active spellbook.
The message will now show how many spells that was added.
Level 0 spells are now called "Cantrip"
This will be fixed next.
You can still add the same spell more than once, if you remove one of them from the spellbook both will get removed.
Because Internet Explorer is.. well.. you know as it is, it's not optimized to use to generate spell cards or manage your spell book. A bug that removed all of your spells from the spell book if did not select a spell under manage spell book is now fixed.
Elemental Evil spells are here!
But just for logged in users..
It didn't take so long to fix. All the spells from the ELEMENTAL EVIL PLAYER'S COMPANION is now added to the site.
To be able to access them you need to have an account and be logged in (will be listed with the other spells). This might be revised when the beta has ended.
I got a mail from the user Sean asking me if Im going to add the collection of spells from Elemental Evil. A couple of months ago I thought no. I think I got stuck on the line "This supplement provides new options for player characters in that epic campaign. If your Dungeon Master allows, these options can be used in other campaigns as well." and thought that there is no need to include these spells.
Ok, so I got informed that you couldn't add a collection / group of spells from the spell-page unto the active spellbook ( Add selected to active spellbook ), this is now fixed. Sorry for that miss.
Yeah, I decided to give the design a nudge. I hope it's for the better. And I added some nice response-messages when you add/remove spells and spell books.
Wow, it didn't take long for you to grow over 100 registered accounts. I've received some nice inputs and donations. I'm glad that other players find this tool helpful and I'm looking forward to come up with new features. If you stumble upon a bug or problem, have an ide for a new feature or perhaps just want to say hello, you can go through the contact form.
Got a notice that the sorting / filter functions does not work correct while you are a guest. This is now fixed.
After you have created an account you can head over to Manage spellbooks and create your first spellbook. Select what class it's based on, enter a name and choose if you want all the spells for that class to be imported upon creation.

Did someone say pizza? Italian Oregano is a staple in our kitchen and we always use it on pizza. Finding true Italian Oregano can be difficult though, but this is the real deal. You will wonder how you cooked without it.

Disney is set to overhaul its entertainment business with focus on streaming
October 13, 2020 [email protected]_84 business strategies
If there was any question that Disney+ is the center of Disney's media empire, the company took away all doubt on Monday.

Disney Plus launch in India has been delayed.
Disney announced a major reorganization of its media and entertainment business on Monday to "further accelerate" its streaming strategy.
The company's stock was up about 5% in after hours trading following the news.
"This is further proof that the direct to consumer model is not only well received, but more critical than ever to Disney's future," said Trip Miller, a Disney investor and managing partner at hedge fund Gullane Capital Partners. "These moves will not only result in higher quality content, and focused distribution, but allow the company to streamline corporate complexity and hopefully lower expenses."
Miller also said that this move will allow Disney to further monetize in demand content and possibly "make up for revenue and profit lost in other divisions this year."
Under the reorganization, Disney will create a new Media and Entertainment Distribution group that will be in charge of monetizing content via distribution and ad sales. The group will also oversee the operations of the company's streaming services like Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+.
The group will be led by Kareem Daniel, who was formerly the president of Disney's consumer products, games and publishing division.
"Given the incredible success of Disney+ and our plans to accelerate our direct-to-consumer business, we are strategically positioning our Company to more effectively support our growth strategy and increase shareholder value," Bob Chapek, Disney's CEO, said in a statement. "Managing content creation distinct from distribution will allow us to be more effective and nimble in making the content consumers want most, delivered in the way they prefer to consume it."
While the reorganization is a major announcement, it's not necessarily a surprising one. Disney+ has quickly become the focal point and a saving grace of Disney's business this year as the coronavirus pandemic has ravaged its bottom line.
The global health crisis has delayed Disney's films, stalled productions and has shuttered parks and resorts for months, which led to massive layoffs.
However, Disney+ has thrived.
The streaming service, which isn't even a year old yet, now has more than 60 million subscribers. The company told investors last year that it projected Disney+ would have 60 million to 90 million global subscribers by 2024.
The news of the reorganization comes just a week after activist investor Dan Loeb said that Disney should permanently suspend its $3 billion in annual dividend payments and invest that money back into Disney+.
"We are confident that Disney can build a [direct to consumer] business that will meaningfully exceed its current cable TV and box office revenue streams, but only if the company leans into this opportunity and invests more aggressively," he said.

The class parent is a designated parent volunteer in each class who coordinates all other parent volunteers for that class. The class parent often organizes classroom learning experiences or field trip needs. Volunteering to be your child's class parent is a great way to contribute to the class while also getting to know other parents. For more information about becoming a class parent please contact your child's teacher or the current Class Parent Coordinator.
Below are links to sample letters and forms Class Parents can use to recruit volunteers to help out with classroom events such as learning experiences, their class Unicornicopia booth, teacher appreciation week, or teacher group gifts. These documents are in PDF format as our web software would not allow us to upload Word docs of these letters and forms. However, this gives you a good idea of what these letters and forms could say and how they can be formatted.
Here are ideas shared by class parents for our seasonal Learning Experiences. They are categorized by the Season Learning Experience, then by the type of activity.
Discovery School Puzzlemaker – Ask for a class list from teacher of first names. Make a word search with all the kids names. Lots of fun – good for 2-5th grade. All you have to do is enter the names, specify the size, and it will make it up for you. Can also do one with holiday words, vacation words, etc! You can have a prize for each child as they complete it- like a fun pencil, whatever!
Food Ideas – I usually offer a sweet snack (themed cupcakes or cookies), a salty snack (pretzels or crackers), a healthy snack (apple slices or grapes), drinks (juice box or mini water bottles) and paper products (plates, napkins).
Below are some specific ideas for things to do at LEs. But don't let this list limit you. These are just a few ideas for those that don't know where to start. Please check out the web sites above to come of up with your own creative crafts & games!
Scarecrow Relay Race — Make 2 teams – you will need 2 sets of items to dress the scarecrow (hat, bandana, plaid shirt, vest, and gloves). Put 2 chairs at the end of each row (leaving room for the team to run a bit) where there is a scarecrow from each team. The scarecrow can't help put the items on (have the kids imagine a real scarecrow made of hay!) and demonstrate for them. The kids have to dress the scarecrow with each child in the relay bringing a different item. First team to have the scarecrow dressed wins. Play it a couple of times.
Thanksgiving Feast – We did a Thanksgiving Feast where we collected a few dollars from the students (got about $70 in all) and pooled it together to then buy warm sliced turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, yams, green beans, rolls, drinks and desert. I think we also offered sliced apples and grapes. We served this all up at lunch time, then did a small craft afterwards. It was great and the kids really enjoyed it.
Craft – Ask parents in the class who have little ones to save jars of baby food (the larger 6 oz size works the best), remove labels and sterilize by running thru your dishwasher. At one station, have the kids decorate the jars with a label (eg to mom and dad, love from Sam) with some sticky hearts. Buy a yard of fabric – cheap at Joann's type places – and cut out circles that are slightly larger than the lids – one per child. At the second station put a dot of glue on the lid, fabric circle around it and tie it on on with a narrow ribbon. Third station – make hot cocoa mix ( a bunch of recipes on line). Let children measure and stir in ingredients, then load into the baby jars and put on lids.
SPRING BREAK Relay – All you need to do is write each letter on an index card or small piece of paper to say "SPRING BREAK". Split the group into 2 teams and line them up. They each get a letter (not in the correct order). They will run 10 yards to so, drop their card on the ground, then run back to their team. Once they tag their next teammate, that person runs down, drops their card, then runs back, and so on. When they are done running, they get in the back of their team line to go again. They all go until all the letters are gone. Then the whole team runs down to their group of letters and puts them in the right order to spell "SPRING BREAK". The first team done WINS.
Maybe collect money from students for a pizza or ice cream party!

HoREA said that should only apply the increase of the adjustment coefficient of HCM City land price in 2019 in the threshold of 5 - 8.33%, instead of 19 - 30% as expected.
On February 21, 2019, Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee issued a report to the HCM City People's Council to issue regulations on land price adjustment coefficient in 2019 in this city. Accordingly, the city leaders still maintain the same point of view with the proposal of the Department of Finance - Department of Natural Resources and Environment is to increase the land price adjustment coefficient in 2019 to 0.4 times compared to 2018.
In fact, the land price adjustment coefficient applied in 2017 is 2 times that of HCM City People's Committee regulated and announced; 2018 is 2.1 (up 5% compared to 2017). However, in 2019, it is proposed to add 0.4 times to 2.5 times, equivalent to an increase of 19-30% compared to 2018.
Before this development, Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association (HoREA) sent a written request to the City People's Council, People's Committee and Standing Committee with recommendations to be cautious in making decisions on the annual land price adjustment coefficient. 2019.
The view of the association is that, HCM City should continue to apply the increase in the land price adjustment coefficient in 2019, which is similar to the calculation of the increase in the land price adjustment coefficient in 2018, ie only within the 5% limit. -8.33%. Temporarily not apply the proposed increase of 19-30% because the adjustment factor of the Department of Finance is too high and unreasonable.
HoREA said that the land price adjustment coefficients along with the land price table (adjusted every 5 years) will have a significant impact on the price of the real estate market. This adjustment coefficient has a profound impact on households and individuals when implementing legalization procedures for land use rights outside the limits and for businesses and small-scale real estate projects having a collection of land use fees under VND 30 billion.
The construction of the current land price adjustment coefficients leads to households and individuals in suburban districts and being subject to a higher rate of adjustment of land prices than in urban districts, directly to the majority of middle-income people and urban low-income people who live far away from the center.
Land prices and land price adjustment coefficients directly affect the obligation to pay land use fees of a large number of households and individuals, most of whom use houses to stay, do not have a business and lead to many households had to apply for debt of land use fees.
The association said that increasing the adjustment coefficient of HCM City's land price is too high is a sensitive issue, should be considered carefully to ensure stable social security of housing. Because the hasty decision may lead to an increase in land use debt in the coming time. In addition, the total amount of State budget debt of real estate in 2018 increased by 38.2% (very high level) compared to the total debt in 2017, which is also a phenomenon that needs to be studied and decoded to have appropriate policies.

Would you like to know how to properly replace your batteries in a 48 volt Club Car Precedent electric golf cart?
8 volt golf cart batteries are very heavy and require proper safety measures for installation. This video explains the exchange of 8 volt batteries in a newer Club Car Precedent. Make sure to take off your jewelry, wear gloves, have proper eye protection, and use extreme caution when swapping batteries out.
Quality Lead acid batteries typically last 3-6 years and require monthly maintenance to insure maximum life. Distilled water is always recommended and try not to over fill.
My 48 volt (six 8 volt batteries) wouldn't run after the winter despite y running the charger several times during the winter. I found that many of the cables and posts were corroded so I cleaned them all. I saw how it was necessary to get a charge into each battery in order for the 48 volt charger to recognize to turn on. I used my 12 volt car charger for about 30 minutes on each battery but when I plugged in the 48 volt charger I could hear it humming but the needle simply jiggled around a bit at the 0 level on the meter. I checked that I had put the cables back on properly with Positive on one battery to Negative on the nee next and so on. Also found horn won't sound and buzzer doesn't work when put in reverse. With nothing happening can you offer any suggestions. Wonder if I need to charge each battery more than 30 minutes. Pretty befuddled so hope I can get help.
Bruno: Most likely one of your batteries is completely damaged and will nor recover. Test each one by one to check and replace.

It is really easy to imagine enemies as monsters, inhumans, stupid animals who devoid of all human virtues and embody all vices. But this is an erroneous approach. All crimes and abominations are committed by «normal guys» who are «a bit wrong». There are not only monsters to hate. Good, honest, sincere, kind people sometimes deserved all this hate. When we say «all cops are bastards», we do not indicate their personal qualities. We point to the repressive function that they perform.


©2014 Kristen Gilje Breaking Wave, 8 feet by 55 inches, silk dye on silk.
I painted this 8 foot by 54 inch banner, for a church in Manasquan NJ, immediately after finishing "Zion's Waterfall." I had enjoyed being very loose with the dyes, letting them mix and make textures without much control at all, using hardly any resist. In "Breaking Wave" I wanted to preserve the free and uncontrolled feeling with a different technique: painting with wax. This involved using the resist, which usually I use to control the dye, in a free and easy way. I bought 5 different sizes and shapes of brushes to make varying textures and painterly wax marks on the silk.
The process was similar to making a layered print. The very first wax marks preserved the white of the silk, only where I wanted highlights. Next I put a light layer of blues over the whole piece. After that dried, I put another layer of wax only where I wanted this light blue preserved….then a darker blue, and more wax, until I had all the color values I wanted on the finished piece, from lightest to darkest.
The original idea for this piece came from the pastor who commissioned it. Her congregation had been devastated by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, and her idea was to make a Hurricane Sandy Baptismal Banner. The idea was an intriguing challenge. I love to connect natural images with sacred rite and ritual. After researching photos of the devastation on the web, I came up with the following image. However, I could not find any hope in the subject at all, no sense of the holy.
The idea was to somehow lift the tragedy of Hurricane Sandy into the hands of God, recognizing the sacred water of baptism even in the terrifying walls of water in the storm. This was definitely too fresh a catastrophe for the idea to work. And the image represents "My God, why have you forsaken us?" better than baptism. We realized that this image was not what her people needed, and changed course.
Challenging art needs to be appropriate for the congregation it serves, and needs especially a person to facilitate discussion around the art, to lead people into challenging ideas with purpose. The purpose is not the art, but the idea. And the idea must be carefully chosen. The art is a tool for thinking about the challenging idea.
The pastor knows their congregation and what they need the most, and how great or small a challenge they need, and most importantly what they need challenging on.
We turned instead to an image more familiar and less challenging but still powerful: A wave breaking over rocks. I could indeed find the Holy here in the awesome power of water to transform even a rock, but also to nurture life and bring joy. It is a good image of the transforming power of baptism.
Here are pictures of my own exploration of a wave….first on newsprint 9 feet by 55 inches just learning shapes and values.
next a "map" simplified version, Still got carried away by the detail. I put this one under the silk to help me place the dye and wax.
This wax process was new for me…it was fun to have the WAX make the mark, rather than the dye.
My driving emotion for this piece is awe of the sacred in nature, despair in its failure, and hope/faith for change.This is now in a New Jersey church, as a symbol of the transformative power of the waters of baptism.

Coal (metallurgical)
Dense media separation
Mine Life 20 years (as of Jan 1, 2013)
Coal Resources have not been re-estimated since 2015.
JX Holdings, Inc. 25 % Indirect

Sedimentary
The Sukunka Project lies within the elongate, disturbed Foothills sedimentary belt of northeastern British Columbia. The coal licenses are underlain by the transgressive/regressive Lower Cretaceous Bullhead and Fort St. John Groups that consist of fluviodeltaic and marine terrigenous clastic sediments that have a maximum composite thickness, excluding those of the Minnes Group, of 1,100 m. The oldest lithologies exposed within the property belong to the Minnes Group. That unit is overlain by the Cadomin, Gething, Moosebar, Gates, Hulcross and Boulder Creek Formations.
In the southern half of the Peace River Coal District the coal beds within the Gates Formation constitute the primary exploration target. Recent mine developments and coal exploration activities have focused on these coals. The Gates Formation is an 80 to 280 m thick interstratified sequence of mainly non-marine sandstone, conglomerate, coal, shale and mudstone. It is separated from the underlying Gething Formation by interstratified fine grained marine deposits assigned to the Moosebar Formation. Within the formation, eleven coal beds that have a maximum thickness of about 10 m and an aggregate thickness of up to 46 m have been reported. Four or five laterally extensive seams, ranging in thickness from 5 to 10 m, are common between Kakwa and Sukunka rivers. The Peace River Arch apparently controlled the northern extent of alluvial-deltaic environments where the major coal beds originated.
Structural deformation of the Cretaceous sequence in the district is characterized by en echelon, northwest-plunging anticlines and synclines, and by southwest-dipping low and medium angle thrust faults, which have repeatedly brought coal measures to the surface. Locally, the tectonic activity has resulted in a thickening of coal beds. At a mesoscopic scale, fault and fold structures can be complex and mining operations can be significantly complicated.
Although the rank of coals that occur in the Gething and Gates Formations ranges from high volatile A to low volatile bituminous, most of the resource is classified as medium volatile bituminous. In some areas mean maximum vitrinite reflectance values exceed 1.5 percent, indicating a rank of semi-anthracite. The coals commonly have sulphur contents of less than 1 percent wt and excellent coking properties. Locally the upper seam in the Gething Formation can have sulphur contents up to about 1.5 percent. Coals within both formations have similar characteristics, and those in the Gates Formation are similar to those of the Luscar Group in the southern Inner Foothills.
The Sukunka deposit outcrops around many parts of the tenure which makes it suitable for contour mining. Excavation will be carried out using conventional open pit mining equipment. Mining will be conducted in two discrete areas, the Nose and Window pit area in the northern part of the property and the Saddle Creek area in the south east. The amount of waste rock to be removed over the life of the open pit operation will be approximately 725 MBCM with the maximum annual extraction rate being around 40 MBCM. Extraction rates for the open pit are based on a 12.4:1 ROM strip ratio. This strip ratio is based on current knowledge, and will be updated with the results of on-going exploration. ROM coal production will initially be in the range of 2 to 3 Mt/y, increasing to approximately 7.5 Mt/y when underground mining commences.
The proposed underground mining will be accessed from around the Chamberlain Creek area from the highwall of the open cut. A series of longwall coal panels will be developed extending northeast to the Nose area and southwest towards the Saddle Creek open pit.
The overall plan for the Sukunka Project is to:
- Excavate raw coal and waste rock from three open pits within the property boundary using conventional open pit mining methods and equipment
- Excavate raw coal and waste rock from an underground longwall mining operation within the property boundary using conventional underground mining methods and equipment
- Haul the coal to a Coal Handling Preparation Plant (CHPP)


Yet another good year for Marel.
It was a year of strategic growth and a further strengthening of our foundations. Amidst significant shifts in the world's geopolitical landscape – resulting in both political and economic uncertainty – the strategic drivers in our industry remained intact. The immense social challenge of how to feed the world's population in the future continues to present Marel with opportunities for sustainable value creation by advancing the way food is processed.
The only way we can address these immense challenges is with technology, innovation and changes in behavior. We have to find ways to do more and better with less. This represents countless opportunities for Marel and its customers. Armed with innovation–the core of our strategy–Marel pursues its vision of transforming the way food is processed, in partnership with our customers. Marel is continuously seeking new ways of doing more with less, enabling our customers to increase yields, minimize waste, decrease the use of water, energy and other valuable resources while increasing food safety and improve animal welfare as well as the working conditions of employees.
Today's global population of 7.5 billion is projected to rise to around 9.7 billion in 2050. This, along with continued urbanization, increased prosperity and changes in consumer behavior, is expected to lead to a substantial rise in the demand for food. The UN's Food and Agricultural Organization predicts the increase will be up to 50%. At the same time, the focus on sustainability and environmental matters is continuously growing. We are using too much of scarce resources such as water, land and energy for food production. On top of this, we waste an unconceivable amount of food. It is estimated that around one third of the food produced in the world today is wasted somewhere in the value chain. That is equivalent to 1.3 billion tons of waste, worth around $1 trillion.
In 2016, Marel invested €63m in innovation, corresponding to 6.5% of our revenue. In a world where the pace of technology-driven change is faster than ever before, we must be vigilant and remain agile, finding the right balance between addressing customers' current needs and leading the future development of the industry. The industrial Internet revolution, digitalization and big data are changing Marel's business like the rest of the world. We see great future opportunities in our Innova Food Processing Software, which has already been installed in over 1600 plants worldwide. Innova enables food processors to optimize their performance and provides full traceability, adhering to ever changing food safety standards. Marel's future success is based on the ability to bring innovation to the market and deliver value to customers, fueling further investments in our own business and future growth.
Over the last decade, Marel's revenues have grown around 20% per year on average, one-third through organic growth and two-thirds through acquisitions. The target continues to be set at the organic growth being greater than the market, which has been growing by 4-6% per year in the past. The market is still fragmented and ripe for further consolidation. Our aim is to continue to leverage Marel's strong foundation and create additional value for shareholders through acquisitions. In 2016, organic growth was fueled by the continued strengthening of our product portfolio and the introduction of several new, state-of-the-art solutions. Significant investments were also made in advancing our own business, upgrading manufacturing equipment, improving facilities and IT platforms.
In the beginning of the year, the acquisition of MPS was closed, supporting Marel's full line offering in the meat processing industry and contributing to a more balanced revenue split between industry segments and geographies. Revenues increased by over 18% during the year and are approaching one billion with healthy profitability. Profit for the year amounted to €75.8m and earnings per share increased by 34%, reflecting the strong operating results and the fact that the MPS acquisition was completed without issuing new equity capital. The progress in 2016 is fully in line with our strategy.
Marel's financial position is strong with net debt to EBITDA well within the target range of 2-3. In line with the company's capital allocation and dividend policy, the Board of Directors has proposed to the 2017 Annual General Meeting that a dividend payment of €15.3m, corresponding to approximately 20% of net profits, is paid to shareholders.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of own shares for up to €15m to be used as payment for potential future acquisitions.
Marel's Board of Directors is committed to good corporate governance and ethical business practices that promote the long-term interests of shareholders. In the beginning of 2016, we were awarded a recognition as "Exemplary in Corporate Governance" by the Research Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Iceland, Nasdaq Iceland, the Iceland Chamber of Commerce and the Confederation of Icelandic Employers.
During the year, significant progress was made in developing and executing a formal approach to corporate social responsibility. Guiding principles for the approach to people, the planet and profitability were introduced throughout the organization and Marel became a signatory to the UN's Global Compact. For further information, reference is made to the Corporate Responsibility section of this report.
During the year, the Board held meetings in Iceland, the Netherlands and the U.S., providing board members with a great opportunity to visit Marel's operations as well as customers in these countries. Board members also participated in several trade shows, providing valuable insights into market dynamics.
Marel is well positioned to capture long-term profitable growth. We stay true to our purpose of partnering with customers to transform the way food is processed. Our vision is of a world where quality food is processed sustainably and affordably.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I congratulate the Marel team on the results and achievements made in 2016 and extend our appreciation for the dedication and hard work. We thank the company's shareholders for their continuous commitment and support.


S3 is Amazon's "Simple Storage Service" for hosting content on the web. It allows developers to offload static content to their powerful content delivery network at low cost, to improve site performance. I've used S3 on a number of projects to host content, but one thing that only recently cropped up wad the notion of allowing users to upload their own content to the service from within any given site. To accomplish this I had to use a little bit of everything, including PHP and jQuery. But don't worry, if you don't want to use jQuery, this technique should still apply to other implementations.
As I said we will be using jQuery for this, and more specifically, the fantastic plugin Uplodify - a set of files that will enable simple uploading, and that will handle all the heavy lifting of file manipulation. So go ahead and download/unzip Uplodify, and then stick it on your server. I then used the following standard HTML to display the upload button.
Having done that, make sure to include jQuery, swifobject.js, and jquery.uplodify.[VERSION].js, and then add the following JS.
And that's the basic configuration needed to get Uploadify working. Now we need to enlist the help of a PHP class to enable us to interface with S3. That class allows you to do some pretty advanced stuff, and is a great solution all round for working with S3. In our case you just need to download that that and pop it in the same directory as the file uplodify.php.
So what we've done there is replaced the part of the code that previously moved the uploaded file (with the imaginatively named move_uploaded_file() function), with some code to invoke a move to your S3 bucket. As you can see in the code above, the functions require some information that you will need to provide yourself such as your secret key - this can be found by logging in here.
And that's that! As I said above the class can be used for more advanced manipulation of your S3 buckets and account, so do go and explore some of the things you can do with that, and have fun uploading!

Soun-Gui Kim: Lazy Clouds
Sat, 10.09.2022 – Sun, 05.02.2023
Atrium 2, ground floor + 1st floor
Cost: Museum admission
The exhibition »Soun-Gui Kim: Lazy Clouds« at ZKM | Karlsruhe is the first solo exhibition in Germany of Korean-French artist Soun-Gui Kim.
Starting with works from the 1970s, the presentation will give a comprehensive overview of the artist's work up to the present-day, ranging from the deconstruction of painting and photography to video and multimedia art. Her works are frequently characterized by their highly participatory nature and are influenced by comparative studies of Eastern and Western culture and philosophy as well as the exploration of language.
Soun-Gui Kim was born in Buyeo, Korea, in 1946. She graduated from the Department of Art at Seoul National University in 1971. Even back then, she was interested in the deconstruction of painting, in large-scale performances and video works in public space. After completing her studies, Soun-Gui Kim was awarded a scholarship by the French government, which enabled her to go to France and work there. A few years later, in 1974, she accepted a professorship at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Marseille. In 1982, Soun-Gui Kim's travels to various countries around the world led to her intensive engagement with the culture and art of the East and West. While in New York, she associated with renowned video artists such as Nam June Paik, Ko Nakajima, Ira Schneider, and Frank Gillette. With her deepening interest in video and multimedia, she organized »Video & Multimedia: Soun-Gui Kim and her invitees« (1986), with the participation of Nam June Paik, John Cage and others. Since the late 1980s, issues related to the spread of global capitalism and structural changes in society caused by the Internet have become particularly important for her. Today, the artist lives and works in the French countryside near Paris, where in harmony with nature and her surroundings she devotes herself to her art projects that combine philosophy, art and technology.
The title of the exhibition »Soun-Gui Kim: Lazy Clouds« refers to a specific poem and a book of poetry by the artist which was published in France. At the same time, however, it also exemplifies her personal life plan: completely contrary to capitalist-oriented productivity and performance regime, it is based on the concept of idleness as an artistic, creative, and philosophical principle. Like the clouds that are completely free to find ever new forms in the sky, Soun-Gui Kim devotes herself to her art, playfully, far away from predefined patterns and formalities.
The exhibition at ZKM | Karlsruhe is realized in collaboration with the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) in Seoul, where it was shown under the same title in 2019.

Chasing Cottons: Not Always Fabric!
For me, one of the most exciting things about quilting...is the fabric. Fabric just does it for me. I used to scrapbook and would fall in love with all the papers, the textures, the designs, the colours. Quilting for me is scrapbooking but better. There's something (you quilters will understand) about the fabric, the designing a new quilt, the sewing, the sitting peacefully hand sewing, hand quilting... the creating. We all have our own 'thing'.. and i want to show you what Julie-anne's (my mother-in-law) 'thing' is.
She knits! She makes these incredible blankets/throws. Like every craft now days... has taken a modern twist. Fabric has come a long way from the brown brown and more brown quilts that comes to mind when you think about quilting. Same with scrapbooking, and papers, and now also with wool. There are so many amazing colours, textures, sequins, bobbles, feathers...and all sorts of great weaves.
I was lucky enough to get her very first one... and from here,... it snowballed. She made one for each for my kids, for family, friends and seems like every one is putting in their order!
She has done greens, yellows, blues, reds, purples, pinks, oranges, beiges, every colour you can imagine... her lastest project is grey, silver and black. I wish I could show you them all, but these are the only ones i could get my hands on.
Her TIP:- Use Big needles! She said, it grows quick and is easy on your hands!
They are just beautiful... the pictures just dont do them justice. AND Sorry, My Photography is LOUSY!! I recon at every craft store they should offer photography lessons!! Dont they know, we all need to take pictures of our latest projects and stick-em up on our Blog!!
I dont do knitting, cant get my head around it. Maybe one day ill get her to teach me and i can pass on some skills.
rush over to Ali's Blog.. shes doing her first big giveaway!
So of course I am forwarding this post to her. She will love it so much!!
And my granddaughter's name is Charlotte (love that name....) so I'm sure is a very sweet baby who will love your quilt.
They are awesome. So much texture!
those throws are sooo pretty!
Gorgeous knitting...love those throws! I love wools like I love fabric!
Very cool throws! And I agree with you about quilting - scrapbooking is fine, but a quilt is so much better - you can hold it, cuddle up in it, pass it down for generations - it just does so much more than a scrapbook page!
The throws look great - and they look very cozy!
Really nice throws. Yours looks great on your couch! So warm and snuggly too.
I bet they are very warm, cuddly and snuggly!
What beautiful knitted blankets! Perfect for snuggling under. I love the luscious colours and textures.
Hey Becky, Lori passed on your blog info to me, and I am really enjoying all your beautiful projects. I'm not sure if you remember meeting me when we were in Australia last year, but thanks for sharing your talents with us. My daughter is a knitter and so I am sure will enjoy seeing these beautiful blankets.
Too cool! I love the way each block has so much depth!
Thank you for the info on this knitted throw. I am knitting up a storm, so quick....my kinda knitting.
Hello Rebecca! Thank you for your great Quilt Class again! I have just been thinking about washing...I wash always but now I was thinking if someone buys smaller pieces it's difficult to pre wash them.
These throws are really beautiful! As I love fabric, I love also yarn! I have been knitting all my life and sewing my cloths - just a little bit over an year I have find the passion for quilting and patchwork!
