Reclaiming the Onion House from the Jungle
by Beth McCormick (Prior owner, niece of Elizabeth von Beck, or 'Auntie Dofeen.')
Like a ruined Mayan temple overtaken by the rainforest, the Onion House was draped in climbing vines and foliage that masked its distinctive arches. The jungle grows fast in two decades of neglect.
Whatever mixture of caprice and acumen that inspired my Auntie Dofeen to build and bankroll this extraordinary home did not include the work of maintaining it. That role fell to me.
I scrambled to buy the place within weeks of foreclosure. Auntie Dofeen had neglected to pay the mortgage in over a year, and her banker had no other options. At thirty years old, this was the first home I'd ever owned, and I had no idea of the amount of work that lay ahead to restore it. One well meaning contractor friend counseled, in all seriousness, "Tear it down and start over!" I howled and became even more determined. My aunt, in a personal decline that mirrored her surroundings, came with the deal.
The Onion House had become sort of a flop-house for a couple of young Bohemians who'd set up residence in the ruin, alongside Auntie Dofeen. The fellow had hair that belonged onstage in a heavy metal band, and the waif was from Argentina. Neither of them wore any clothes.
The Bohemians seemed to resent my showing up every morning, with mop and bucket in hand, disturbing their scene. I determined to be unremittingly friendly so as not to risk reprisals. I cleaned. They watched. I persisted. Reluctantly, they began to get the notion that it was time to move on. I kept cleaning. One night the guy with the rock 'n roll hair decided he was headed off to Bali, without the waif. She got nasty and threw his electronic keyboard in the swimming pool, which had become a swamp, the color of seaweed and the consistency of pea soup. The keyboard remained in the mire, since no one was willing to fish it out.
It was always sort of mysterious, what else might have found its way to the bottom of the swamp over the years since it had functioned as a swimming pool. Musical equipment? Bodies? Who knew?
I'd heard stories about the policeman who fell in. He and his buddies snuck up one night, flashlights in hand, to check out this weird ruin that lay abandoned in the jungle. The forces of decay were laying siege while Auntie was on an extended sailing expedition. Trees had taken root in the planters around the pool, breaking apart the masonry, and the entire view of the ocean was blocked by overgrown thickets.

In came the three cops, climbing past the thorny bougainvillea tangle obscuring the entrance steps, shining their flashlights over the still-beautiful arches. Inside, they could see piles of newspaper reaching to the ceiling. (Auntie Dofeen was dedicated to recycling years before it caught on, long before there was anyplace to take the newspapers.) One of the cops pointed his beam down a set of stairs, which he followed, out onto what he took to be a lawn. One step later, and he was in over his head, covered with slime, mired in the murk of what ought to have been a swimming pool. In his starched uniform. With his gun. His buddies howled with mirth, relieved it hadn't happened to them. The incident became a part of Kona legend, recounted to me on several occasions decades later by members of the local constabulary.
 Auntie Dofeen was an eccentric. That's how I thought of her, as early as kindergarten. The word seemed to define her. Eventually, it came to confine her. Impetuous, impossible, fun, vulnerable, visionary, and lovable... I found her endlessly fascinating.
The daughter of a sea captain and the niece of the McCormick spice company founder, Auntie Dofeen had an affinity for Polynesia and a flair for the exotic. Her father, in his youth, had been a mapmaker for the first scientific expedition to Easter Island in 1886, and from an early age she identified with the mystery and adventure of remote islands. The lure of remote islands was forever in her blood, since she grew up hearing tales about my grandfather's explorations in Borneo, the Philippines, and Easter Island.
At 60, Auntie Dofeen took off in an ill-equipped sailboat along with my two teenage brothers, crossing from Kona to Fanning Island, Palmyra, Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga. This madcap journey was the adventure of a lifetime which they were all lucky to have survived, but the Onion House never really recovered from her absence during those years.
The Dream Begins....
Auntie Dofeen's adventurous spirit combined with Ken Kellogg's imaginative aesthetic
to create the Onion House
It's hard to imagine how remote Kona was when the Onion House was conceived, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, before statehood ushered in waves of sun-worshippers and successive building booms. In the old days, when Auntie Dofeen first fell in love with the place, a dog could safely nap in the middle of the road without disturbance. Kailua had only one stop sign, which wasn't really necessary, but it was prestigious, the only one on the west side of the island. Shopping consisted of the old Taniguchi store, a 20 x 20 foot room stocked with a meager assortment of canned goods, fishing tackle, and rubber slippers.
This was the setting where she was inspired to build her masterpiece. Up on the hillside, safe from tsunamis and storms, she plunked this inconceivable structure. At the time, many Kona folks lived in coffee shacks without indoor plumbing or electricity. To them, it was as bizarre as if she built a space shuttle.
Back on the Mainland, the country was transitioning between the "Father Knows Best" days of the Eisenhower administration, and the Camelot magic of the Kennedy era. News clips were full of the pillbox hats Jackie Kennedy pinned atop her coiffed hair during her shopping trips to Paris.
In stark contrast to the consciousness of the day, Auntie Dofeen was concerned with Organic Architecture and how to grow mangoes. When she first saw Kona, she knew this was the place for her dream to be manifest.
The immediate problem was finding a realtor, and for that she had to make her way back along the windy, single lane road through the cane towns to Hilo (which took all day) where she finally located someone who could help. She wrote a bad check, told him not to cash it, and later recounted that when she got home to San Diego, her banker greeted her with, "So! I see you've been to Hawaii!"
Auntie Dofeen sought out the budding young architect, Kendrick Bangs Kellogg, whose life work would expand the vocabulary of structure beyond any buildings that had yet been conceived. At the time, he had only designed two houses, one for his in-laws, and one for the Babcock family in San Diego. Having seen Kendrick Kellogg's innovative design for the Babcock house in San Diego, Auntie Dofeen knew immediately that he was the architect she wanted to work with. I would say that their passions overlapped. An idealistic young visionary, Kellogg wanted to create original living spaces in harmony with the natural environment. She needed to live in a piece of art.
She wanted to capture the powerful presence of the Hawaiian sacred spaces, known as heiau, the temple structures formed of raised stone platforms looking toward the sea.
When he handed her the blueprints for the Onion House, she unrolled them, and studied the drawings, which were unlike any houseplans ever seen. Scrutinizing the plans until she understood what it was Kellogg was proposing to create, she rolled them up and handed them back to him. Pausing to light a cigarette, she leaned back, and said, "Build it!"
The problem was finding a contractor. Everybody they sent it to sent the plans back, saying it couldn't be done. Kellogg's visionary design for the Onion House was so wild that they were unable to find anyone willing to attempt construction.
Rather than letting the project go, Kellogg moved to Kona with his wife and young children for two years to build the home himself. He brought in William Slatton, metal worker for Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West, who forged the gate and spires. James Hubbell came over to create the stained mosaic dining room table, and the colorful stained glass windows that enliven the space. Together, they helped to influence the movement known as Organic Architecture.
Beginning construction
Kendrick Bangs Kellogg and William Slatton
On the island, there was no way to get supplies, unless you arranged to ship them yourself from the Mainland. There was plenty to do while waiting for the barge to arrive with the Italian tile, plumbing fixtures, and redwood, amid sheets of colored glass. Koa wood and lava rock were available locally. Kellogg bought the essentials: an old truck, a cement mixer, a wheelbarrow and a shovel.
Auntie Dofeen's husband at the time, my Uncle George, a (somewhat) practical man, did not share her passion for this project. He refused to even set foot on the island. This led to an understandable rift between them, but did not undermine her determination. Part seer, part daft eccentric, Auntie Dofeen's abiding characteristic was enthusiasm.
They had a unique relationship for the 1950's: she worked for the Navy Electronics Lab in San Diego, and he stayed home and took care of the canaries. (She had built an extensive aviary, needing constant care, which was where I first fell in love with feathers.)
Kendrick Kellogg recounts that in those days, when he was still wet behind the ears, he brought the plans for the Onion House to Auntie Dofeen's home in San Diego. When Uncle George saw the young Kellogg, with an armful of blueprints, he glowered, "So kid, you're a BUILDER now, too?"
The anecdote is told with humor and a whiff of nostalgia, but the point remains. They were both pushing the envelope, far beyond the levels of what anybody was comfortable with, in order to prove what was do-able.

The controversial building project five decades ago in this tiny local community inspired much speculation. One woman was overheard to say disparagingly, "The damned thing looks like an onion!" Word got back to Auntie Dofeen, whose immediate reaction was "Eureka! That's IT! The Onion House!" She loved onions, and reasoned that since the construction was partially financed by the sale of McCormick dehydrated onions, the name was only fitting.
The housewarming party lasted for three days and three nights. Auntie Dofeen noted that the stone walls surrounding the terrace seat fifty nicely. She had invited all of Kona.
Auntie Dofeen loved animals. The local vet would send her wounded and disheveled creatures, and she at one time had twelve adopted dogs and thirteen cats. A hunter gave her a baby goat whose mother had been killed, and the goat suckled right along with a litter of puppies. The goat grew up thinking it was a dog. It ate Little Friskies and chased cars, along with the rest of the pack.
She drove a brand new red Mercedes 350 SEL, which she chronically neglected to maintain. Too short to see over the wheel, she peered out a narrow arched portal underneath the steering wheel and above the dashboard, so from the outside, only the top of her head, wearing a large cluster of hibiscus flowers, was barely visible. Crusted in a layer of brown dust, its paint color unrecognizable, the Benz would cruise by with apparently nobody driving, its leather seats overflowing with her collection of happy mongrels.
Eventually, the Benz stopped running. She had never changed the oil.
With her love of all things Polynesian, Auntie Dofeen counted among her drinkin' buddies a number of Hawaiians, including one large and jovial man known as 'Uncle Bull.' I remember as a child being fascinated by the sound of his snores, after he passed out on a bench at the Onion House. It was Auntie Dofeen's idea to tie a long string around his big toe. The two of us hid outside in the planter, stifling our laughter, and jerked on the string. He would awaken bellowing exactly like a bull, gazing around the empty room, confounded. As soon as he settled back into his stupor, we would gleefully give another tug on our instrument of torment.
Another of her Hawaiian friends was I'olani Luahine, the renowned hula dancer who lived at Hulihe'e Palace, the royal residence of Hawaiian monarchs on Kailua Bay, as the kahu. (In Hawaiian, 'kahu' means keeper or guardian, as in kahuna, which means 'keeper of the secret knowledge;' 'kahu' of the 'huna.') Auntie I'olani was a tiny, ever-mischievous dark-skinned sprite with eyes that shot fire, who would always greet us with elaborate ritual. Like an emissary from another world, she chanted to invoke the gods, sinuously dancing her way toward us for an ecstatic embrace. This might be, say, mid-morning if we happened to see her at the post office. This made perfect sense to Auntie Dofeen, because, after all, I'olani had been given to Laka, the goddess of the dance, at her birth. I later came to realize how much I'olani Luahine was esteemed in the Hawaiian community, although she frightened some who felt that she was "spooky" because she was taught to dance by the spirit world. Aunt Dofeen accepted that the spirit world expressed itself through I'olani. Perhaps this understanding was the bond that made them such amiable drinkin' buddies. Even now, at the Merry Monarch Festival, amid that explosion of Hawaiian hula, one dancer among hundreds for a moment has it, that salty, earthy, electric energy that I'olani channeled continually. At 70, her high-voltage eroticism in the hula could stir something inside you that you didn't know was there.
Auntie Dofeen and Auntie I'olani Luahine both were kahu of their respective heritages. This responsibility did not extend to mundane physical maintenance, obviously, but they both were dedicated to the preservation of a spiritual essence that was fundamental to their respective landmark residences.
As the jungle engulfed the Onion House estate, they frolicked through it. Whatever decline eventually claimed these unforgettable souls, they lived their moments with a sense of profound celebration rarely seen in the more responsible among us.
My work of stewarding the Onion House is a tribute to the sense of flamboyant joy that inspired its creation.
Since no family history is complete without a good ghost story, here is ours. It involves religious intolerance, supernatural forces, and exorcism... plus a nifty piece of art. I just discovered this authentic American poltergeist tale documented on Wikipedia!

Q: Get сurrent URL Есть ajax форма на которую переходят по ссылке с видео (жалоба), ссылка вида:
http://site.com/abuse/index.html?ref=https://login.site.com/rest/getPublicStream/id=OA==/code=Nzc2MTIxMzEwNTg=?null
Мне нужно передать этот урл (для каждого видео он разный).
Я использую:
$url1 = $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST];
$url2 = $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI];

но получаю урл такой:
site.com/abuse/abuse_mailer.php

Как получить нужный мне URL?

A: подумайте.
$_SERVER - это массив.
вы запрашиваете $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] и $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]...
как нужно обращаться к массиву в PHP?
если HTTP_HOST - это константа (поскольку вокруг нет кавычек), чему она у вас равна?
если это не константа, почему у вас отключено отображение ошибок?
как вы думаете, почему в руководстве http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php все эти значения обрамлены в кавычки?
маленький урок дебага: вы пробовали, например, когда-нибудь, написать var_dump($_SERVER); как вы будете обращаться к полям этого массива?
$url1 = $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]; //должно выдать notice, но отображение ошибок отключено
$url2 = $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]; //same here

A: Обращаетесь
http://site.com/abuse/index.html?ref=https://login.site.com/rest/getPublicStream/id=OA==/code=Nzc2MTIxMzEwNTg=?null
а получаете
site.com/abuse/abuse_mailer.php
при этом  $_GET['ref'] пустой (он не должен быть пустым. @Firepro прав).
Скорее всего, неправильно настроен htaccess - он обрезает GET запрос.
Исправьте htaccess.

Q: react native newbie questions '() =>' meaning? What does that mean? How come I see it something used in the documents, but in practice through tutorials I don't ever see that?
example:
AppRegistry.registerComponent('MyApp', () => SimpleList);

Is it just a new way of saying this:
function() { return SimpleList }:

ie:
AppRegistry.registerComponent('MyApp', function() { return SimpleList });

A: Yes, you are right.
() => SimpleList can be a replacement to function() { return SimpleList }
And no, you are not 100% right.
The this is same as the caller inside the arrow function, instead of a new this(new context) if you use function() {}
Check out this (http://es6-features.org/#Lexicalthis for more :)

A: In this case, the fat arrow and the function() { return SimpleList } will work the same. The difference is if your anonymous function wants to use refer to this, in which case the fat arrow will "do the right thing".

A strain of an emerging Indian Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae pathotype defeats the rice bacterial blight resistance gene xa13 without inducing a clade III SWEET gene and is nearly identical to a recent Thai isolate.
The rice bacterial blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) injects transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) that bind and activate host "susceptibility" (S) genes important for disease. Clade III SWEET genes are major S genes for bacterial blight. The resistance genes xa5, which reduces TALE activity generally, and xa13, a SWEET11 allele not recognized by the cognate TALE, have been effectively deployed. However, strains that defeat both resistance genes individually were recently reported in India and Thailand. To gain insight into the mechanism(s), we completely sequenced the genome of one such strain from each country and examined the encoded TALEs. Strikingly,…
The genome analysis of Candidatus Burkholderia crenata reveals that secondary metabolism may be a key function of the Ardisia crenata leaf nodule symbiosis.
A majority of Ardisia species harbour Burkholderia sp. bacteria within specialized leaf nodules. The bacteria are transmitted hereditarily and have not yet been cultured outside of their host. Because the plants cannot develop beyond the seedling stage without their symbionts, the symbiosis is considered obligatory. We sequenced for the first time the genome of Candidatus Burkholderia crenata (Ca. B. crenata), the leaf nodule symbiont of Ardisia crenata. The genome of Ca. B. crenata is the smallest Burkholderia genome to date. It contains a large amount of insertion sequences and pseudogenes and displays features consistent with reductive genome evolution. The genome…
Evidence of horizontal gene transfer between obligate leaf nodule symbionts.
Bacteria of the genus Burkholderia establish an obligate symbiosis with plant species of the Rubiaceae and Primulaceae families. The bacteria, housed within the leaves, are transmitted hereditarily and have not yet been cultured. We have sequenced and compared the genomes of eight bacterial leaf nodule symbionts of the Rubiaceae plant family. All of the genomes exhibit features consistent with genome erosion. Genes potentially involved in the biosynthesis of kirkamide, an insecticidal C7N aminocyclitol, are conserved in most Rubiaceae symbionts. However, some have partially lost the kirkamide pathway due to genome erosion and are unable to synthesize the compound. Kirkamide synthesis…
Botrytis, the good, the bad and the ugly
Botrytis spp. are efficient pathogens, causing devastating diseases and significant crop losses in a wide variety of plant species. Here we outline our review of these pathogens, as well as highlight the major advances of the past 10 years in studying Botrytis in interaction with its hosts. Progress in molecular genetics and the development of relevant phylogenetic markers in particular, has resulted in the characterisation of approximately 30 species. The host range of Botrytis spp. includes plant species that are members of 170 families of cultivated plants.
The genome of the Saprophytic fungus Verticillium tricorpus reveals a complex effector repertoire resembling that of its pathogenic relatives.
Vascular wilts caused by Verticillium spp. are destructive plant diseases affecting hundreds of hosts. Only a few Verticillium spp. are causal agents of vascular wilt diseases, of which V. dahliae is the most notorious pathogen, and several V. dahliae genomes are available. In contrast, V. tricorpus is mainly known as a saprophyte and causal agent of opportunistic infections. Based on a hybrid approach that combines second and third generation sequencing, a near-gapless V. tricorpus genome assembly was obtained. With comparative genomics, we sought to identify genomic features in V. dahliae that confer the ability to cause vascular wilt disease. Unexpectedly,…
Pseudomonas syringae CC1557: a highly virulent strain with an unusually small type III effector repertoire that includes a novel effector.
Both type III effector proteins and nonribosomal peptide toxins play important roles for Pseudomonas syringae pathogenicity in host plants, but whether and how these pathways interact to promote infection remains unclear. Genomic evidence from one clade of P. syringae suggests a tradeoff between the total number of type III effector proteins and presence of syringomycin, syringopeptin, and syringolin A toxins. Here, we report the complete genome sequence from P. syringae CC1557, which contains the lowest number of known type III effectors to date and has also acquired genes similar to sequences encoding syringomycin pathways from other strains. We demonstrate that…
Complete genome sequence of the sugar cane endophyte Pseudomonas aurantiaca PB-St2, a disease-suppressive bacterium with antifungal activity toward the plant pathogen Colletotrichum falcatum.
The endophytic bacterium Pseudomonas aurantiaca PB-St2 exhibits antifungal activity and represents a biocontrol agent to suppress red rot disease of sugar cane. Here, we report the completely sequenced 6.6-Mb genome of P. aurantiaca PB-St2. The sequence contains a repertoire of biosynthetic genes for secondary metabolites that putatively contribute to its antagonistic activity and its plant-microbe interactions.
Genome sequence of the clover-nodulating Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii strain SRDI565.
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii SRDI565 (syn. N8-J) is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod. SRDI565 was isolated from a nodule recovered from the roots of the annual clover Trifolium subterraneum subsp. subterraneum grown in the greenhouse and inoculated with soil collected from New South Wales, Australia. SRDI565 has a broad host range for nodulation within the clover genus, however N2-fixation is sub-optimal with some Trifolium species and ineffective with others. Here we describe the features of R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii strain SRDI565, together with genome sequence information and annotation. The 6,905,599 bp high-quality-draft genome is arranged into 7 scaffolds of…

Two months, two weeks, four days, one hour and fourteen minutes and lots and lots of dollars later, I finally got my car back. This included getting the car a new engine (short block), returning it for a check engine light (P0024 Exhaust AVCS System 2 Range/Performance), then promptly bricking the ECM when I got it home again (note to self: next time, brick ECM when car is in garage), and then finally getting the ECM quickly reset (thanks Cobb Tuning!).


Scorpionfishes don't like to move around much. They are sedentary carnivores and some of them have venomous spines. Since many of them are masters of camouflage and blend in with their surroundings, it is often difficult to spot them. They usually hunt for prey at night.
Their sting is very painful and causes cramps and nausea. Since they live in the reef and are difficult to see, it's always a possibility to accidentally touch or step on one. A known first-aid treatment for scorpionfish stings is hot water. The affected area should be soaked in it for at least 30 minutes as heat destroys the venom. The victim should also be brought to a hospital for further care.
The Hawaiian name for scorpionfish is nohu. There are 28 species of scorpionfishes in Hawaiian waters, of which ten are endemic.

Everything you need to know about the Eiffel Tower at night
Modified the 23/09/22
Dusk transforms the Eiffel Tower! In this article we offer you a unique immersion into everything related to the Eiffel Tower at nighttime: lighting, image rights, tour experience, and more.
When the sun sets and darkness falls over Paris, the City of Lights awakens. And so does the Eiffel Tower! It switches on its lights. It shines, it sparkles, and it can be seen from dozens of miles away. The Iron Lady puts on her most beautiful golden gown and sparks the entire world's imagination. We've assembled your most frequently asked questions and answered them here. You'll know all there is to know about Eiffel Tower after dark!
The Tower's lights and sparkles
The Iron Lady first donned her golden raiment on 31 December 1985, and it was an instant success. The 336 yellow-orange spotlights it encompasses are integrated into the structure itself and serve two purposes: they highlight the Eiffel Tower's elegant structure and ensure its safe night-time operation.
Previously, the Eiffel Tower was illuminated by many more external projectors. It has always been lit up after dark, by gas lighting before electricity took over.
When are the lights and sparkles turned on?
The projectors are triggered automatically by nightfall sensors. The sparkling lights are superimposed over the golden lights for 5 minutes.
The last sparkle occurs at 11pm, and the Eiffel Tower lighting is switched off completely at 11.45pm, as soon as it has been evacuated (lighting and beacons).
How much energy do all these lights consume?
In 2004, the Tower took control of its ecological footprint by reducing the electrical consumption of its spotlights by 40% while preserving the beauty of its illuminations. Three years later, the lighting was renewed to the same specifications.
Is it illegal to photograph the Tower at night?
Photographing the Eiffel Tower at night is not illegal at all. Any individual can take photos and share them on social networks.
But the situation is different for professionals. The Eiffel Tower's lighting and sparkling lights are protected by copyright, so professional use of images of the Eiffel Tower at night require prior authorization and may be subject to a fee. Professionals should therefore contact the Eiffel Tower's management company to learn about conditions for using the images depending on the case.

The Most Beautiful Views of the Tower at Night
le diaporama
The Eiffel Tower's beacon
Why is there a beacon at the top of the Eiffel Tower?
As far back as 1889, Gustave Eiffel installed spotlights to illuminate the monuments of Paris. In 1947, the beacon became useful for air navigation by offering a wider geographical coverage and better visibility than the one on Mount Valérien, which was at a lower altitude. Today, it is mostly a symbolic and universal landmark.
What's the range of the Tower's beacon?
The beacon was inaugurated to ring in the year 2000. The 2 beams are composed of 4 motorized spotlights and have a range of 50 miles, which is more than twice the length of the Paris ring road!
Experience the Eiffel Tower at night
Can you visit the Tower at night?
The Tower is open in the evening during specific periods (summer, week-ends, holidays). You have plenty of time to admire the City of Lights all year round! Check the current opening times.
What to do at the Eiffel Tower in the evening?
Visiting the Eiffel Tower in the evening and at night is a completely different experience to day tours – and just as much of a must-see experience! In particular, climbing the stairs while the structure is lit up from the inside offers a unique ambiance that you don't want to miss. And the most thrilling is a meet up at the summit over a flute of champagne at the end of the day (weather permitting, of course) for a romantic and unforgettable sunset. The view over Paris at dusk, as the lights come on around the city, will remain engraved in your memories forever.
Several dining options await you, from take-away counters for a quick bite to seated dinners on the 1st and 2nd floors, while reservation are required for the restaurant on the 1st floor. Dinners in the 2nd floor gourmet restaurant, the Jules Verne, must be booked well in advance and do not include a ticket to visit the Eiffel Tower.
What's the best way to experience the sparkling lights when you're inside the Tower?
Inaugurated on 31 December 1999 to welcome the year 2000, the sparkling lights are superimposed over the golden lighting and consist of 20,000 bulbs that make the Tower sparkle for 5 minutes on the hour. We therefore recommend that you keep an eye on your watch and find your way to the 2nd floor, lower level, as the hour strikes for the best view of the sparkling lights covering the entire structure as it rises above you.

Replace that stack of curly business cards with CardScan. Store all the data in one place and de-clutter - simple!
"In 1993, our founder, Jonathan Stern made a commitment to resolve what he identified as a pressing business problem: how to turn the vital information typically found on business cards into actionable data that people could capture, maintain, organize and leverage in their every day business life.
The problems he saw were all too common - too many business cards from too many sources ended up stacked in piles, stashed in boxes, or shoved in drawers. Despite the best of intentions, sometimes cards got lost or mangled. Sometimes promises went unfulfilled. Sometimes information changed and went unrecorded. And the busier people became, the less time they had to sort it all out.
Jonathan recruited Dexter Sealy from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the two of them started what was to become CardScan, the industry leader in contact management solutions.
Today, CardScan offers an array of solutions to contact management challenges. With a suite of tools powered by proprietary interpretive technology, customers can easily capture, synchronize and update vital information and use it in virtually any way they want, any time they want from anywhere they want.
As of April 1, 2006, CardScan, became part of Newell Rubbermaid, one of the best known and highly regarded brands in the world".

There were six Iemoto classes in May and I will write about them in the order I attended them.
The theme for the first was 'Composition of Straight Lines'. I chose red willow and chrysanthemums in an interesting container, which continued the 'lines' theme.
Eikou Sumura sensei approved of all aspects of the arrangement but suggested I trim the little knobs from the stems of the chrysanthemums. I must admit I had left them on intentionally, as I found them interesting but she is the teacher and I the pupil so I attempted to remove the knobs where the leaves had been but they wouldn't come off cleanly and there was no time to scrape them all off.
Sensei used alstroemerias and New Zealand flax in a container that worked perfectly with her design.
The second and third Iemoto classes had the same theme - 'Composition of Straight and Curved Lines'. In the first, I used kiwi vine and hostas (that looked like they were on steroids) in this interesting container. Sozan Nakamura sensei was very pleased with this arrangement pointing out the importance of the space between the hostas being straight.
Sensei also used hostas for the straight lines with bull rush leaves which he manipulated and an unusual lily at the base.
For my second 'Composition of Straight and curved Lines' I used New Zealand flax, which I split and twisted and sun flowers. Gaho Isono sensei approved of the arrangement and container and the fact that I kept some leaves on the sunflowers. She also gave me a little tip to help preserve the leaves of sunflowers. After cutting under water, dip the stem into salt and then arrange.
Sensei used kangaroo paw, which she trimmed to emphasize the straight lines. For the curves she used New Zealand flax, which she had curled a couple of days earlier and held with a clip and then released creating these interesting curves.
The fourth Iemoto class had the theme 'Composition of Curved Lines'. As I looked at the selection of materials available I, instinctively, reached for bendable material that would easily create curved lines. Tamae Eguchi san, who was assisting in the classroom made a suggestion that ' it's ok for now but in future choose the materials you don't like'. It was on the tip of my tongue to say that there are no materials I don't like but I realized what she meant was that I should choose more challenging materials.
I, however, didn't wait for 'the future' but went immediatly and exchanged my materials for one very full and bushy Japanese maple branch and fennel. I tested the maple and it wouldn't bend, so I created curves by removing branches and leaves so that what was left created a curve. To bend the thicker part of the stem I cut into the bark at intervals and very carefully bent it without snapping.
Then I tried the fennel. No, it certainly would not bend because it has a hollow stem and would kink. I had to find a way to add some curve so I tried inserting a wire into the stem and gently bending. That did the trick. And now it was just a matter of arranging them. I was happy with the end result but I was even happier with the fact that I tried something new and that it worked. I'm grateful to Tamae-san for her suggestion and I intend to put it into practice more often.
Somewhat surprisingly for me, both sensei and Tamae-san really liked my arrangement and sensei was so impressed she wanted to know my grade.
The last two Iemoto classes for May had the same theme - 'With Leaves Only' and, again, they provided a good learning experience for me.
Seiko Ozawa sensei was the instructor for the first. I chose a bunch of cycads and a bunch of bulrush leaves, which I felt were appropriate. I know that this exercise requires more than two types of leaves but we can only choose two materials per class so I had to make do.
Half way through my arrangement, Misei-san, who was assisting whispered in my ear that the long, thin leaves were not appropriate because they create 'line' rather than 'surface'. It was too late to change and I continued with my original idea.
Ozawa sensei approved of the composition but suggested that, since I had a large container, I should move the leaves more to the left within the container and to extend the line to the right.
When Ozawa sensei demonstrated this theme she used three types of leaves - a large philodendron, several aspidistra leaves that she stripped, and brown-coloured flax in a stunning glass vase. A very pleasing arrangement.
For the next class and having learnt from the previous one, I felt more confident about my choice of materials, although, I again had only two types of leaves. I used palm grass (Curculigo) and variegated New Zealand flax which I split from the bottom but left intact at the top, then threaded through the palm grass.
The arrangement pleased Bisen Sumide sensei and she pointed out that in this theme it is important to change the character of the material and that I had achieved that whilst making a beautiful arrangement.
For her demonstration, Sumide sensei used two suibans, a black one upside down and a white one on top of it, right side up. She explained that she was about to make a large arrangement so this way she enlarged the container. She used two rather heavy monstera leaves, which she managed to balance resting them against each other and added variegated hostas and some brown coloured tropical leaves.
This has been a very long post and I thank you for reading all the way through.
I have been reading and totally enjoying your posts. It is so nice to see your pictures of Japan from your travels and read about your daily activities and Sogetsu lessons. Thanks for taking the time to share with us.


The Water Library in Bangkok – Normally the first thing that would hit you upon entering into a restaurant is their display of Wines. Here, unusually it`s Water , lots of it stunningly displayed in a floor to ceiling `library`. Focusing on their primary product I`m actually wondering what a Water tasters notes would read like after sampling the 30 or so different bottles they have on sale here. Wet , Rounded , Soft , Structured , Lively , Vivacious. My God…isn`t Water just Water , a vehicle for flavour ? OK for the Water connoisseurs out there , there`s 30 different bottles here for you to discuss and sample during your meal . The prices start at £3.70 / $5.40 / 190 Baht and "tap out" at £5.80 / $8.50 / 300 Baht. Quite reasonable when you compare that to the likes of Veen £15 / $23 for 750 ml or the outrageously priced Kona Nigari at £275 / $ 402 for 750ml. Living here in the English Lakes I suppose i`m just totally spoiled. My tap water is perfectly drinkable and we have mountain streams that offer `Paradise` water on a hot summer day ( when we get one ). Anyway…..enough about Water.
Chef Mirco Keller was born and grew up in Germany where he developed and progressed through some pretty decent kitchens. Two Michelin starred Tim Raue and One starred Adlon Kempinsky being the higher end restaurants where Keller was taught the trade. Bitten by the Thai bug Mirco became addicted to Bangkok , its culture and cuisine and the rest is history , I know how he feels. Over the years Chef has developed his own unique style of cuisine incorporating Thai and Asian influences gently paired up to European basics. Chef Keller came out to meet me after my meal , lovely guy and he would have talked food all night….next time Chef.
To begin – Spicy Roasted Cashews to set dinner off whilst reading the menus. We went for the `Seasonal` Tasting Menu and the `Classic Tasting Menu both priced at £42 / $62 / 2190 baht . We had two different Wine pairings for the two different menus costing £19 / $28 / 990 baht ( for 4 glasses each ). For one of the best restaurants in Asia that`s a great price.
I`ve never had warm Croissants as a house Bread before but who am I to argue ? Fresh , crispy , Buttery classic.
Foie Gras , Khao Tom , Lemon and Peanuts.
Cold Capellini Pasta , Wakame and Tasmanian Abalone.
Seared Canadian Scallop , Béchamel , Green Pea and Ikura.
Crispy Tofu , Foie Gras , Shitake Emulsion , Bonito and Leek.
Wagyu Beef Cheek , Celeriac , Truffle sauce and Apricot puree.
Roasted Pigeon , Pepper , Mango and Eggplant.
Gianduja , Pineapple , Coconut and Honey.
Roasted Apple Tart Tatin , Madagascar Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
Little selection of sweet treats.
Would I return to the Water Library ? Absolutely. Eating Thai food three or four times every day is totally amazing but we all need a breath of fresh air now and again. Kellers food is well sourced and all brought in from the markets daily ,cooked to order , and cooked well. Menus are priced reasonably for a top end restaurant in a major Asian city and the wine is well priced also. Next time ill upgrade on the Water , see if I can tell the difference. Service – Excellent well briefed staff for when awkward English customers started asking geeky questions about the food.

I would just like to share this important event coming up on 25th August.
As you all know, I am an animals rights activist/ vegan ninja 😛 and I am so happy that I will be a part of this year's Animal Rights March. I can't wait to be around such compassionate people and, of course to meet other vegans in the country! If you're joining, do let me know, I would love to meet you! Just shoot me a message on Instagram @kymberlymaitlandsmith.
The Official Animal Rights March is an annual vegan march founded by UK animal rights organisation Surge. The march began in London in 2016 with 2,500 vegans and in 2017 the march doubled to 5,000 vegans marching for animal liberation through London. In 2018, we're bringing The Official Animal Rights March to the Philippines in order to spread the message of animal liberation across the globe.
In order to make this march succeed, we need your help. Invite your friends, tell every vegan you meet, this is the day where we unite, where we stand up, rise up and say no more, not in our name.
The future is vegan, but we must continue to speak out on behalf of the animals until the day that their suffering ends.
Save the date, spread the word – and let's make history for the animals.
Here are a few reminders to help you get ready!
We are encouraging all participants to unify in wearing black shirts on the day of the march. Any writing on it would preferably have a message relevant to animal rights and veganism. This is an animal rights event, so please DON'T WEAR any animal-derived clothing (e.g., leather, fur, silk, down, suede and wool) and please DON'T BRING AND EAT any animal-derived "food"/beverages (e.g., meat, fish, honey, dairy, and eggs) during the march.
We also advice you not to bring your animal companion because the activity might stress them out.
See you all on August 25 at Andres Bonifacio Shrine, Manila!

This evening I attended a hustings at St Luke's church for the young carers served by the Carers' Centre.
It was a very interesting event with possibly the largest number of questions from the audience for any hustings so far. Janine (chairing) did an excellent job of combining similar questions etc, but there were still many left over which have been sent to the candidates on the panel to answer.
Top marks to the Carers' Centre for a well organised event (and food, which is always good!).
You can read the Carers Centre report of the event here.


The rapid decline in poverty in India between 2005 and 2012, the most recent period for which data are available, was driven mainly by higher labor earnings. This is not surprising given that the capacity to work tends to be the main – and often the only – asset of poor households. Over this period, wages for unskilled workers increased sharply. There was also a marked shift towards non-farm jobs, which on average pay more than jobs in agriculture. These two trends gave a substantial boost to labor earnings and propelled millions of Indian households above the poverty line. While this was indeed a spectacular achievement, there are reasons to worry about its long-term sustainability.
A large majority of those who escaped poverty did not gain entry into the middle class. Instead, they moved slightly above the poverty line and remain vulnerable to slipping back. The deficit in the number of jobs created after 2005, as well as in their quality, explains these high levels of vulnerability. This period can, therefore, be described as one of a growing jobs deficit. Or rather three of them, as we discuss in a recent paper: i) a deficit in the overall number of jobs, ii) a deficit in the number of good jobs, and iii) a deficit in the number of suitable jobs for women.
While all three deficits can be traced to the pattern of India's economic transformation during this period, they are better appreciated from a statistical point of view. Between 2005 and 2012, net job growth in the economy was 0.6 percent per year. This was much less than the growth in the working age population that was not in school – which stood at 1.9 percent per year. In absolute numbers, of these 13 million potential entrants into the workforce every year during this period, only 3 million got a job. In a young and increasingly aspirational society, this growing jobs deficit has the potential to turn the much-awaited demographic dividend into a demographic curse.
On closer examination, it is not as if job creation came to a standstill after 2005. On the contrary, there was considerable dynamism in the informal segments of the economy, especially in rural areas. As could be expected in a phase of structural transformation, there was a substantial decline in employment in agriculture, with nearly 34 million farm jobs lost between 2005 and 2012. Meanwhile there was a boom in construction jobs, which accounted for nearly half of the expansion in non-farm employment. However, construction jobs tend to be casual. Their wages are set on a daily basis, or through short-term contracts, and they provide no form of social protection. While jobs like these help people escape poverty, they do not take them much further than that.
Source: Based on the Indian Human Development Survey (IHDS), 2005 and 2012.
Instead, transitions into the middle class are associated with regular, salaried jobs. The likelihood of a household durably escaping poverty between 2005 and 2012 was higher if a larger share of its members had regular jobs (figure 1). On the other hand, households that slipped into poverty between these two years saw a growing share of their family members employed as casual workers.
In principle, urbanization brings with it the promise of better jobs. In India too, it is true that large urban areas have a substantially higher share of regular jobs (figure 2). By contrast, small towns have far fewer regular jobs to offer, and in rural areas these jobs are rare. Therefore, unless small towns and large villages, where most of India's poor and vulnerable live, can ensure the vibrant creation of regular jobs, building a sizeable middle class could remain an elusive goal for the country.
While big cities have the highest share of regular jobs, they also have the largest overall jobs deficit. In fact, when moving from small villages to large cities, the scarcity of jobs relative to the working age population not in school increases across the rural-urban gradation. So, how can one reconcile this larger share of regular jobs with an altogether greater scarcity of good jobs? The answer is simple: in urban areas the share of regular jobs may be greater among those who are employed, but fewer people are at work in these places relative to the working age population. And, in urban locations, it is mainly the women who are not working.
This brings us to the third deficit - the scarcity of suitable jobs for women. Historically, India's female labor force participation rates in urban areas have been low - hovering around 20 percent. But one of the most striking developments after 2005 has been the large withdrawal of women from the rural labor force. As rural areas become increasingly urban, they are beginning to look increasingly urban in the magnitude of their jobs deficit too. By contrast, in small villages over 70 percent of women are employed on the farm, as agricultural activities continue to be important in these areas. Elsewhere, however, manufacturing tends to be the largest employer of women outside of farming. In towns and cities, on the other hand, women more often hold professional jobs in health, education and public administration. In these areas, construction work, while significant, does not employ too many women.
The structure of female employment by sector is revealing of the kinds of jobs that are seen as more suitable for women. For instance, women are more likely to work when jobs are located close to their homes and allow multi-tasking, as in the case of farming. They are also more likely to work when jobs offer regular wages, as in the case of manufacturing. Or when jobs have social protection benefits attached to them, as in case of the health, education and public administration, where the public sector is the dominant player. Unfortunately, such jobs are few and far between.

I fully oppose that poverty standards was decreasing in India . I am an unemployed engineering graduate ... Lakhs of unemployed engineers doing odd jobs for survival whose daily daily income was less than 4$ ... How shameful ... India was degrading quality education to students and mainly in the state of Andhra pradesh.
I am too an engineering graduate. The problem that I personally feel is the ratio at which jobs are created to the output of students graduating each year.There's a lack of industries esp. in my region where we cannot get the basic first hand experience in practical field..thus lacking the very pre-requisite eligibilty that is a must in most jobs nowadays which adds to our inabilty to apply to such jobs..thus causing an indirect unemployment.
In India only rich are getting more rich and poor people are getting poor every year.. And only 2-3 sectors are progressing rest are at vulnerable stage. . But I don't understand how world bank is providing jobs here? ?

Three Republican Senators on Monday proposed a plan to repeal the federal estate tax, The Washington Post reports. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. John Thune (R-SD) introduced the bill that aims to kill the already weakened "death tax," of which the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel estimates only 5,000 taxpayers are expected to claim. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 currently allows married couples to gift up to $22,360,000 exempt from federal estate and gift taxes. According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, the estate tax is projected to account for about 0.6 percent of the federal budget in 2018, down from more than 1 percent in the 2000s.


I made the MORIA map according to this map (http://0-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/tg/image/1377/46/1377464862086.jpg) and some PJs interpretations.
The map is very complex and it is for future EDAIN 4.0 mod and that is why this map has it's restrictions, namely, you cannot build buildings freely wherever you see free spot because of the MORIA Object restrictions. So, even if this map will be more suitable for future EDAIN 4.0 with "BFME 1 fortress building system" (which was my main intention to follow) you can still play it in actual versions of BFME 2.
I strongly recommend you to start the map from the East Gate (1st Hall). It is much more interesting to play from there (personal opinion).
- I tried to clean this map a bit and to resolve some bugs I've found, also. - There are some beautifications with Erebor objects and because of that now you can build around your fortress much easier (affects all starting positions).
- During the play you will get some interesting INFO when you reach some areas in Moria.
- The old photo of the map is not obsolete completely, because it still gives you the basic structure of the map. However, I made some light adjustments and redesigns in few Halls.
- I lowered the minimum camera height from 800 to 600 feets.
I've noticed that after the killing of all Creeps, the map functions slightly better (Keep in mind that there is a huge number of Creeps in this map).
This update contains two versions of the Moria map, each for specific mod/expansion (ROTWK and Edain). I hope it resolves the problem that some are referring to (early defeat problem).
So, use proper Map for proper expansion or mod!
Some experiments during this process I've done with the member of Modding Union, "FG15", so I use this opportunity to thank him and to all members who indirectly helped with their critics and solutions.
Hey i hope you still CHeck this profile, but i am a avid bfme2 player and i love maps like this, my only problem which i was gonna try to fix myself instead of bug you about it was the camera is set too high. i ended up not being able to because something weird is wrong with my rotwk worldbuilder which wont let me access anything but i would be terribly greatful if you could either personally send me a copy of this map through my email with the camera set to normal or just post an alternate version on here with normal camera angle. or just help me fix my problem so i can try to work it out myself. Anything would be great. its such an amazing map, i like playing as the goblins and ambushing my enemies from the various hallways and rooms. running from the ballrog is an extra perk. You are an artist sir, and this map is a masterpiece. moria is my favorite location in all middle earth theatrically and the visuals the book paints. i just like to be a little closer to the troops. other then that its the best moria map ive ever played.
I lowered the minimum camera height from 800 to 600 feets, so now you can watch your units from closer distance.
If you want to edit this map you'll need the ROTWK expansion and EDAIN mod. However, I believe it is enough if you have ROTWK only, but in same time you'll need a lot of RAM to be able to open this map in Worldbuilder, because sometimes I get some problems because of the ram capacity.


• Assists in detoxification of bioaccumulated chemicals and radiation exposure in the substance of the body.
• 100% premier quality ingredients: No oxidized, heated, toxic minerals or salts; no heated, irradiated or pesticided herbs Replacing Electrolytes. The Medi-Soak provides extraordinary, body-wide replacement and restoration of key natural-source electrolytes and other minerals, often compromised by medical drugs, a mineral-deficient diet, extreme stress, chemical exposure, lack of sleep, chronic illness and many other factors.
The Medi-Soak is typically used as a foot bath, for approximately 20 minutes in warm water, which can gently detoxify the entire body via its maximum cation exchange capacity from its multiple, highly ionized natural sea mineral sources.
When the feet are immersed in the Medi-Soak solution, a remarkable ion exchange occurs. Nutritive minerals are taken up through the many sensitive acupressure areas of the feet into systemic circulation and simultaneously, there is a gentle exchange of toxic compounds which are liberated into the water from the body.
The Medi-Soak can be used effectively and without concern for side effects, even for the chronically compromised and elderly – all the way to the competition athlete. To feel immediately refreshed after a long day, many people enjoy the soothing effect of the Medi-Soak foot bath. If preferred, the Medi-Soak may be Breezing Through a Detox. The Medi-Soak can be a significant help for those suffering from detox symptoms. In fact, many practitioners often recommend a Medi-Soak foot bath when a person is experiencing uncomfortable detox symptoms – such as mood swings, mental fogginess, physical pain anywhere in the body as well as many other detox complaints.
The Medi-Soak foot bath can be a real ace to help rapidly clear these distressing detox symptoms and may allow even an elderly person to regain a better sense of well being and balance in a relatively short time.
For Use with the Medi-Body Pack.
The Medi-Soak is also a critical component of the revolutionary Medi-Body Pack system (i.e. the use of ancient "mud pack" therapy" using moor mud, shilajit, volcanic clays and other synergists) to permanently reestablish the healthy bio-energetic flow through previously traumatized areas of the body, such as scar tissue which has been shown by research to have the capacity to send abnormal reflex signals to other parts of the body to disrupt its physiology.
In order to preserve the maximum piezo-electrical power of the special detoxifying salts, they have been crushed rather than ground in a grinder. Thus, some of the salt crystals may not dissolve completely in your bath water. However, the photoluminescent effect generated from the whole salt crystals is maximally operative in the water. This allows the Medi-Soak to deliver far superior health benefits.
Due to their natural properties, some of the sea salts may not dissolve completely in your bath water. However, the premier effect generated from these ingredients is still maximally operative. Med-Soak delivers far superior benefits.
Foot Bath: Adults or children (age 1 and up): place 1 cup of Medi-Soak in a plastic (nonmetallic) container wide enough to place your feet. Add 8 cups of warm water to the container. (This 8:1 ratio of water to Medi- Soak ingredients allows the best ionic exchange of toxins). After adding the water to the Medi-Soak ingredients, use your hand to briefly swish the ingredients around in the water. Although some of the crystals will dissolve, it is not necessary for all of them to dissolve. Some whole crystals help to create a strong piezo-electric effect in the water during the foot bath for greater release of toxins. Soak feet for 10 to 20 minutes. Then towel-dry feet. Discard bath water down the drain (do not re-use).
For best results, after the bath, spend 5 to 10 minutes outside (or more) to receive beneficial solar radiation.
Target Body Areas: Repeat the procedure above to target other body areas, such as hands, elbows, etc.
Adults or children: add 2 cups of Medi-Soak to your bath water. Swish the contents around in the water to dissolve some of the crystals. Soak in bath for 10 to 20 minutes. Towel-dry your body. Drain bath water through tub drain. For best results, after the bath, spend 5 to 10 minutes outside (or more) to receive beneficial solar radiation.
Other Body Areas: You may repeat the procedure above to detoxify other body areas, such as the hands, the elbows, etc.

The RibbonControl is the main part of the Ribbon UI, designed to replace traditional toolbars and menus with tabbed pages. Each page contains various elements (buttons, sub-menus, in-place editors, galleries, etc.), combined into one or multiple groups.
Typically, you place a Ribbon Control at the top of a window. Instead of the regular Window class, we suggest that you use the ThemedWindow, which supports integration with the Ribbon Control.
Visually, Ribbon Control consists of the following regions.
Command Region - Displays various bar items (buttons, sub-menus, in-place editors, galleries, etc.) combined into groups and pages.
Quick Access Toolbar - Displays frequently used commands. End-users can add commands to this bar at runtime using a context menu.
Application Button - Used to provide a menu for the application.
In addition, you can create a Ribbon Status Bar at the bottom of the window. This bar is painted to concur with the RibbonControl's look and feel. You can add commands to this status bar, aligning them to the bar's left and right edges.
Default Page Category - It is designed to display default pages, which are typically always visible during application runtime. Unlike a custom category, the default category does not support a caption. The default page is never visible, only its contents are displayed. In the image above, the Home and Settings pages belong to the default page category.
Custom Page Category - This category is designed to implement contextual ribbon pages, which can be temporarily made visible according to some logic. Captions are displayed for custom page categories. In addition, custom page categories and category pages' headers are painted in a different manner than the default page headers. See Ribbon Page Categories and Contextual Pages to learn more.
A page category contains pages as children, which are represented as tabs. An end-user can click a tab to access the commands displayed in it.
Ribbon pages consist of page groups. These visually divide all bar items into logical groups within each tab.
For details on each individual ribbon element, see the corresponding topics.
The Ribbon Control provides a smart layout that maximally uses available space to display as much information (items, captions, etc.) as possible. For instance, if a page has been stretched and has no place to display all available items, it automatically becomes a drop button, which can display sub-items within a drop down panel.
The Ribbon Control supports different paint styles (e.g., Microsoft Office 2007 and Microsoft Office 2010). You can choose a paint style using the RibbonControl.RibbonStyle property.

The Secrets of How Shark Tank Company, AquaVault, Turned into a $20 million Business in Under 3 years
MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / April 27, 2018 / "A goal without a plan is just a wish," said Jonathan Kinas, the Co-Founder for AquaVault. The three inventors of AquaVault- a Portable Travel Safe- secured a deal with Daymond John after appearing on Shark Tank in March of 2015. Inking a deal with the FUBU founder allowed these guys to catapult AquaVault's valuation roughly 6,500% in under three years. They have attracted celebrity fans as well as secured features in dozens of media outlets including The Today Show, Good Morning America, The View, Fox News and many more. The founders were recently featured in an Update on Shark Tank where we saw them increase their sales from $87,000 to now doing millions with a recent valuation of nearly $20 million dollars.
A Few Secrets to Their Success:
The AquaVault team mentions a great saying they once heard which is, "Work while they party, save while they spend, learn while they sleep and live like they dream." It is clear that these guys are doing something different which has allowed them to make a name for themselves. Avin Samtani, who is one of the three Co-Founders, says that he and his partners' still cold call, cold walk and engage in a significant amount of face to face interaction as opposed to doing everything digitally which is a modern mindset that many entrepreneurs have adopted. He mentions that their old school mentality of walking into businesses and cold calling buyers appears to be very effective because very few people are still doing that. "People are so used to communicating via email that when they hear a voice or see a person, it instantly separates you from the rest and captures their attention," said Samtani.
Aside from the straightforward sales approach, the guys at Aquavault are relentless when it comes to networking and meeting as many people as they can. Whether it be trade shows, seminars, dinners, parties or on the golf course, these guys are always prospecting and looking for people to work with to expand their business. Rather than solely hiding behind a keyboard, they'd rather split up their time and interact face to face because they are not only selling their product but they are selling themselves. By meeting with as many people as they do, it allows them to develop stronger relationships that most likely would not have happened if they were sitting at the office typing away. They acknowledge that prospecting digitally is imperative because of the sheer volume of outreach, but they also believe that it's beneficial to allocate a portion of your time to physically meeting people and forming personal relationships. Another common approach that the AquaVault guys use is to call whoever they are targeting and then follow up with an immediate email. They first want to personally introduce themselves to break the ice and then they send over all the details via email. This approach allows them to make that personal connection which isolates them from the countless emails that inundate many inboxes on a daily basis. "We don't want to get lost in the shuffle, so if we send an email to someone, we want to maximize our chance that it will not go unread," said Robert Peck who is the third Co-founder. He mentions that they, of course, do not call everyone before they email them but if it's an important contact, they will do as much due diligence as needed to contact that person before sending an email.
Kinas explains how his partners were determined to succeed and were simply not concerned with the paralyzing fear of failure or fear of the unknown. "We've always expected the unexpected and prepared as best as we could for the inevitable series of temporary defeats" He explains how rejection is never easy but it comes with the territory. "You have to be okay with calling an editor or a buyer and having them brush you off or even worse, hang up on you." Having thick skin is a necessity because if you take every rejection personally, it's unlikely that you will survive the emotional roller coaster of being an entrepreneur. He mentions that it's all a numbers game and the more shots you take, the better your odds of success become.
AquaVault went on Shark Tank with their first invention which was a pill-shaped portable safe that attaches to lounge chairs to lock up your valuables when going for a swim. They have since expanded into several new products along with launching their newest invention to the crowdfunding world on Indiegogo.com. After generating over half a million dollars on their last crowdfunding campaign and landing in the top 1% of companies that generate over $250,000 on crowdfunding, they decided to launch their second campaign for the FlexSafe which is being released in colors. Samtani mentions that there is an art to running a successful crowdfunding campaign and it does not come down to just luck.
"We've learned from our mistakes, isolated our weaknesses and tweaked our formula to maximize results this time around," said Jonathan Kinas. He mentioned that it is critical to dedicate significant time towards reaching out to bloggers, editors and all types of media to get as much coverage as possible. "We probably spend about 60% of our day targeting the media during our eight-week pre-launch phase, and then during the actual campaign, that probably shifts closer to 40% for the remainder of the campaign," said Robert Peck. Relentlessly reaching out to the media to get coverage and allocating a reasonable marketing budget is the most effective way to run a successful campaign. Of course, you have to determine in advance that the market is accepting of your product. An effective way to do this is through measuring the conversion rates of targeted ads via social media. Kinas mentions the biggest mistake they see people make is spending too much money on creating their campaign video and not enough on actually marketing their target audience. "As good as your video is, if you cannot drive anyone to your page to watch it, it doesn't matter how good your video is."

To make these, I buy high quality prosciutto di parma and fresh mozzarella in water (I like getting mine from either Trader Joe's or Whole Foods). We are all HUGE fans of Trader Joe's because they have gourmet items without the gourmet price tag. The combination of the pesto, prosciutto and mozzarella will satisfy all your guests! To save some time I use the Stonewall Kitchen pesto that you can find on Amazon.
Spread pesto on the sliced pieces of focaccia bread.
Lay the prosciutto on half of the slices of bread.
Top the prosciutto with the sliced mozzarella.
Top the mozzarella with the basil leaves.
Place the other piece of bread on top of the basil to complete the sandwich.
Your guests will never know that you started with pre-made chicken salad when you serve this version! I find most pre-made chicken salad fairly bland. Adding the grapes, tarragon, and toasted almonds elevates this chicken salad! Find a good quality pre-made chicken salad that does not have any added flavoring so that you can customize it. Make sure that you test to see if the chicken salad needs additional seasoning of salt and pepper.
Combine the chicken salad with the grapes, tarragon, and sliced almonds.
Cut the croissants in half horizontally.
Place the bib lettuce on one half of the croissants and then top with 6 ounces of chicken salad.
Place the top of the croissant on the chicken salad.
Even your carnivorous friends will devour these wraps! Place all the vegetables on a large sheet tray. Cover with balsamic glaze, salt, and pepper. Toss to ensure vegetables are coated. Let the vegetables marinate while you preheat your grill. Grill the vegetables until they have nice grill marks and are slightly pliable.
Combine all the vegetables together with the balsamic, salt, and pepper.
Preheat your grill and then oil your grates so the vegetables do not stick.
Grill the vegetables for about 5 minutes on each side or until you get some nice grill marks on the vegetables and they start to soften.
Spread about 2 ounces of hummus on each wrap.
Place the grilled vegetables on top of the hummus.
Top the vegetables with goat cheese and roll up.
I love using this recipe from Cooking Light! Cooking Light has been a useful resource when I want to make a lighter dish but not sacrifice on the flavor. I often seek Cooking Light recipes as one of my go-to favorites.
This is such a nice salad during prime tomato season! You can also slow roast the tomatoes and put in the salad.
Place all ingredients in a bowl and carefully toss together.
We used grapes, pineapple, and watermelon for our fruit skewers. Place fruit on skewer sticks alternating among fruit options. Cut out the fruit to reflect the theme of your party like the trains above. Serve with your favorite fruit dip or dessert hummus.
Mascarpone is the richer and smoother cousin of cream cheese! Mascarpone is one of my favorite ingredients, and this recipe lets the mascarpone shine!
Put all the ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on low until incorporated.
