Lately I've had a serious case of Bathroom Envy. Not one particular bathroom, but I keep finding myself staring wistfully at images of beautiful bathrooms here there and everywhere.
Our bathroom is looking super unloved, so I've started plotting an overhaul. This has been brewing for well over a year, maybe two or three, but somehow, someway, I'd like to make 2016 the year of the bathroom overhaul. It's time.
As with the kitchen, I was making do with what we'd inherited when we moved in nearly eight years ago, without spending a load, so we did a few things just after we moved in - mainly essentials like adding a proper shower over the bath in what was the only bathroom in the house because there wasn't one, (unless you call a hose attachment from the bath taps a shower - I don't). We also changed the sink to a decent sized one from the cloak room sized tiny little thing that was there.
There was also no ceiling light - the previous owner had a wall light which was ripped out before she left as it wasn't a compliant bathroom fitting, leaving live wires hanging out of the wall (even less compliant!), so we had those sorted out, covering the holes with spare tiles found in the cellar, and added a ceiling light, which was a rush cheap job from the closest hardware store. The plastic fitting had since disintegrated so I've recently had it replaced with the fitting on my moodboard below. A tiny step in the right direction.
The bath panel got damaged when it had to come off to add the shower plumbing, so I tiled a new one in mirrored mosaics, and despite best intentions, never finished grouting it. Yep, left unfinished for probably seven years. Then there's the sparkly grey vinyl floor tiles which I never finished sticking down. Oh the shame!
I hate having to admit these things, and I've only recently realised (or perhaps admitted to myself), that an abandoned DIY job is usually a sign that I'm not happy with what I've chosen, or how it's turning out. The bathroom is a prime example. But my taste has changed quite a bit over the last eight years, and now I want less disco sparkle, and more classic with a glam contemporary edge.
The shallow melamine cupboards which also house the toilet cistern, are yellowed with age and water damaged, the paint is peeling on the window frame, there are cracks in the plaster on the ceiling, the grouting is stained and looks filthy (I promise, it's as clean as possible!), the mirrors get water on them from the shower so are constantly building up with limescale, all adding to the tired and grotty look of the room.
The wrap around mirror set into the tiles on two walls is too high, and I can't actually see my whole face in the mirror unless I stand on my toes, or wear heels, which I'm not in the habit of doing in the bathroom on a regular basis. I'm about 5'4", so not unusually short, but no, I can't see my face in my own bathroom mirror. This is a constant source of amusement for my husband, and a constant source of annoyance for me. If that's not justification alone to rip it out, I don't know what is!
In lieu of funds to get someone to come in and do it all for us, this will be a slooooow burning DIY job. Depending on what tiles we choose, we may get someone in to lay them for us (I know, shock horror!), along with a plumber to do any plumbing work that ends up needing to be done. I'll get my carpenter to replace the melamine cupboard doors that will be painted, which probably isn't ideal given the proximity to the bath and therefore water, but this is a budget job and we'll just have to be mindful. Everything that we can do ourselves, we will.
Do you know what I hate even more than having to admit to DIY and design failures? Showing ugly before pictures on my blog. But here goes! Believe it or not, just to reiterate, it's actually clean, just horribly stained grout and well, okay, the mirrors do clean up better than this with a load of effort, but I'm so over this room, I've kind of given up.
My plan is to slowly start removing the tiles in the in areas furthest away from water, and we'll see what kind of mess condition the walls are in. I expect they'll need to be skimmed, as I don't plan on tiling floor to ceiling again, so I'll have to get someone in to do that once all the tiles are off. Unfortunately, plastering is not a skill either my husband or I possess.
We'll most likely stick with the existing sanitary ware - we'll obviously keep costs down if we don't need to purchase these things or get a plumber in. That said, the radiator needs to be changed so a plumber will be needed at some point, and it will need to come off to remove the tiles and fix the plaster anyway. Hmmmm, this job is getting bigger as I write and we haven't even started!
I'd love to replace the taps and shower fitting with either gold or black (I'm actually leaning towards black), but we'll have to see if that's possible budget wise as we progress. I'm sure the kids won't mind living on baked beans this year, will they? I know I can make it look a whole lot better than it currently does without us having to remortgage (we'll save that for the kitchen extension one day!).
So, let's talk about the fun stuff!
I'd love to use these beautiful tiles from Mandarin Stone laid in this herringbone pattern in the area around the bath/shower and perhaps on the bath panel too. They're actually the thing that's inspired me to start seriously thinking about this revamp.
They look like marble, but they're actually porcelain, so they're cheaper than marble and low maintenance. I love the relatively high contrast of the veining against the background, with lots of movement. Just gorgeous.
I'd also like to add some decorative moulding to the cupboard doors and paint them - possibly Olive by Farrow and Ball, inspired by Jenny Komenda's beautiful guest bathroom. Or perhaps emerald green, or am I going to go blue?! Clearly I haven't decided on that one yet.
Another option would be to add tinted mirror or sheet brass to the doors, but that would be substantially more expensive. Besides, I've been wanting to add some moulding to the house somewhere forever and this is a nice way to introduce it in a small area.
The top of the cupboards is a shallow shelf which runs along the entire wall and is also currently aged/yellowed/stained laminate. I would love to have a piece of marble cut for this, however it will depend on tile choices. The other possibility is to use a piece of gold tinted mirror which would certainly be much cheaper.
As for the flooring, I'd like to put tiles in to replace the vinyl, but I need to look into the cost of underfloor heating before that decision is made because I hate cold floors underfoot. I love this Georgica Pond Marble from Fired Earth. I love it a LOT. But I obviously wouldn't use it with the Mimica Statuario tiles, if we used these I'd use a plain wall tile, because this is such a showstopper. Extreme marble as I like to call it. And just WOW, to the floor and shower enclosure being done, but that's most definitely not in the budget. Sob.
Versions 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 may materialise before we even pull a single tile off the wall, but I really like this direction. As far as colours go for the cupboard doors and walls, as I said, I'm undecided, but I'm loving each of these possible combinations . I expect paint colour decisions will be left until the tiling is done, and will result in several (more) tester post purchases. DON'T TELL MY HUSBAND!
There will be changes and compromises along the way, but whatever we end up doing it's going to be a gazillion times better than what we've currently got. And I for one, CAN. NOT. WAIT.
I'm such a bad blogger! But hey, belated replies are better than none at all. I think? I love an over the top tile. By the time we do the bathroom, I'll have settled on each colour ten times and changed my mind fifty. At least. You know, I'm now rather loving Farrow & Ball's new Salon Drab as a possible cupboard colour. Brown is BACK baby!


I have BIG news. Brace yourself. It is shocking. Instagram is not my number one. In fact, Instagram pales in comparison to the one social media platform that continues to drive sales to my business: Pinterest. I'm behind the scenes experimenting with new tools and efforts to really ramp up my Pinterest strategy, but I wanted to chat with you today on 7 quick ways to boost your Pinterest Strategy to help you get more exposure and traction on the platform!
Here's why I love Pinterest: It doesn't play the vanity metrics game.
I have over 10,000 followers on Instagram. And less than 3,000 on Pinterest. But Pinterest alone drives over 73% of my site traffic from social media. It drives more traffic than Instagram, Facebook, Organic Searches and Direct Searches. It is BOSS. So lately I've put my Instagram strategy on auto-pilot so I can really ramp up my Pinterest Strategy to maximize on the platform's powerful traffic and sales driving force.
In less than an hour, you can turn your Pinterest account from a random assortment of cookie recipes and a hodgepodge collection of maybe one days into a traffic converting machine for your blog and website.
This is by and large one of the most important things you need to do if you haven't already. If you are going to use Pinterest for marketing your business, you need to be able to see what is working and what isn't. After creating a business account with Pinterest, you will unlock all of their analytics and data to help you determine what people are attracted to when it comes to your content. You'll also be privvy to some of Pinterest's best features that only business accounts can access. I'll touch on those next!
Get a Pinterest business account HERE. It is free!
Rich pins are only available to Pinterest Business Accounts. If you have rich pins enabled, whenever someone pins an image or content from your website or blog, that pin will include branded contextual details to help you gain brand awareness and look legitimate on the platform.
Mintswift has an easy to understand tutorial on setting up Rich Pins HERE!
Use a recognizable bio photo. Either use one of yourself that is found elsewhere (think your favorite headshot!) or a logo mark. I prefer to use a headshot as it is more personal, but for certain blogs and businesses a logo makes sense!
Make sure your location and website are in there! This will help you with SEO!
I'm not going to tell you what you can and can't pin on Pinterest, but I will give you a couple tips on what will help you convert traffic to your website.
If you are attracting a certain target customer, it would make sense to pin a considerable amount of content that would appeal to her, right?
With that in mind, focus on building up boards that are themed around what you do and what you can offer your customers.
For example: I am a business and marketing blogger and I sell templates for an elevated client experience. On Pinterest, you will find various boards that directly relate to business and marketing tips, inspirational boards for business owners, and group boards with other business owners. All of these board choices are very intentional. They appeal to my target market and get more ideal eyes on my Pinterest Account!
You'll see a few other boards that don't directly relate to my business mission, but they do directly relate to my brand story. Boards like home design, motherhood, parties and events, and more do two things: They humanize my business and convey the personality behind my brand AND they drive a considerable amount monthly views to my Pinterest Account since the topics are a bit more broad and popular.
If you've got very niche specific or totally off-brand content and boards on your Pinterest account, I would suggest you turn them into secret boards!
Pinterest is a lot less like a traditional social media platform and a lot more like a search engine. So you have to start thinking like someone searching for content to maximize your efforts on the platform.
Meaning Pinterest isn't the place for fluffy copywriting or cutesy titles.
I don't know anyone who searches for "little bites" when it comes to looking up recipes. I'm gonna guess they search for "Appetizer Recipes." A lot less cute, but a lot more eyeballs will be landing on your board.
Name your boards with targeted keywords that people actually search for optimal exposure!
Your board descriptions act a lot like your board names. They don't need to be driven by building personality like an Instagram bio description would call for. They are all about the keywords.
Lots of keywords that my ideal customer would be interested in! All of my boards follow this pattern of keyword-driven descriptions which helps put my Pinterest boards in front of the right people!
You'll want to keep up the keyword game even in your actual pins. So instead of writing a novel about what your pin is about, just keep things short sweet and to the point with targeted keywords people are actually searching for around that topic.
One way to find popular search terms around your topic is to use Pinterest's search bar. Pop in a word that relates to your content and you'll see suggested descriptive words appear after you hit enter. These words clue you into what other words are being used to search for tips, advice, or inspiration in your specific category.
One of the best ways to gain traction on Pinterest is through branded content. Creating eye catching and visually attractive pins for your website and blog are extremely important in the success of increasing your traffic from the platform.
Long vertical images win. The longer the better!
Solid color pins get more repins. When it comes to pins for the purpose of driving traffic, solid color backgrounds perform best. In a sea of millions of images, solid color pins force your eyes to stop. Therefore causing you to read what is on the pin. And if you are interested, you'll go visit the site!
But images still perform well in terms of virality. So I'd suggest creating one long solid color background pin to grab attention in the scroll and a strong image focused pin to show more of the personality in your visual brand identity.
Keep your brand fonts in check. Super scripty or decorated brand fonts can be really hard to read in the scope of pin designs. It is far better to use clear fonts for your pin designs so more people are compelled to come take a look at your site.
Use big bold font sizes. They might not be as design savvy as a proportional line of text, but we aren't trying to win the brand design game here. We are trying to get traffic and sales! Large text is crucial.
If you are in need of some easy to edit Pinterest graphics that will help convert users to website traffic, my Blog Template Pack comes ready-made with Pinterest graphics included to amplify your blogging efforts! The templates can be edited in Canva or Adobe Illustrator so you can pick the option that works best for you!
I mentioned my blog's board earlier, so I wanted to circle back to that idea.
Once you start getting more traffic to your Pinterest account, you'll want to convert as much of that traffic as possible into actual website traffic. That's what we are here for!
One way to do that is to create a specific board that will house ONLY your unique content. Meaning any blog post or pin that directs viewers to a page somewhere on your site. Once you capture the attention of the right people, they will be much more inclined to want to see what unique content you have to offer. A brand specific board will point them straight to your good stuff!
Extra points if you make your brand board the Featured Showcase of your Pinterest Business Account. Your featured showcase puts your most important content front and center for other Pinterest users to see, so it is a must do!
Once you've taken the time to complete these first 7 Pinterest Account Boosting tips, you'll be well on your way to maximizing your marketing on the platform! There are many more tips, tools, and deep dive strategies I will give you soon, but we gotta start somewhere, right?
Are you using Pinterest for your business? Have any specific questions about how to grow your business through the platform? Ask in the comments! I'll be sharing more in-depth about my entire strategy here soon!
Amazing read! Thanks for helping a fellow girl boss. Pinterest makes so much more sense now.
This was SO helpful! I'm just now starting to focus on Pinterest after launching my site this summer, and I was feeling incredibly overwhelmed. Thanks for the awesome kickoff.
This was amazing and exactly what I have been looking for amongst the never ending sea of "what to do next after you start a blog" posts!!
I use to solely use Pinterest for entertainment and to find recipes lol. However, I now understanding how beneficial Pinterest can be for my brand. I definitely plan on incorporating all of these tips.
I just ran across your blog a few months ago and I love your content. Always quality content no fluff!

New York-based ethical luxury label, Maiyet, enlisted American film director Cary Fukunaga (of multi-awarded Sin Nombre (2009) and critically acclaimed Jane Eyre (2011) and True Detective (2014) reputation) to envision a short film dedicated to Maiyet Resort 2013 collection. The result is a trailer-like romantic clip, titled Sleepwalking in the rift, which tells the story of a blossoming love in the beautiful setting of Kenya.
Starring up-and-coming Hollywood actress Haley Bennett as the first-time visitor to the Eastern Africa country and Swedish actor Fares Fares as the hired ranger guide, the film was shot in three days time, based on improvisations and quick rehearsals and also capturing spontaneous reactions to the beauty of wild nature.
The charming, lyrical story unravels in a 30-minute series of short vignettes in which Haley wears several key outfits from Maiyet collection. Choosing Kenya as location for the resort 2013 ad campaign video follows the New York label's mission to promote artisan communities all over the world while the straightforward style of the filming captures the honest, collaborative essence of Maiyet.

14 of the Easiest Perennials to Grow and Care For This Spring
March 19, 2018 Brent Furdyk
If you love the look of a lush, colourful garden but aren't quite so keen on all that back-wrenching gardening, then these hardy, easy-to-grow perennials will make additions to any garden. Not only will they bloom each year, they don't require a lot of work when they do.

Known for its vibrant daisy-like blooms, the Black-Eyed Susan (a.k.a. rudbeckia) will typically grow from seed and then return year after year like all good perennials. Because these plants are native to the central and eastern parts of North America, they're naturally insect- and drought-resistant, and don't require a lot of fussing in order to prosper.

Once planted, a daylily is likely to become the easiest-to-care-for plant in your garden, requiring a minimum of attention while rewarding you with colourful blooms. A daylily will begin blooming in early spring, and while these plants prefer full sun they'll do just fine in a partially shaded spot.

Speaking of shade, hostas are ideal for areas that don't get a lot of sun, since they tend to thrive in the shade. Just watch out for deer and slugs, both of which find hosta to be particularly tasty.

Salvia — also known as perennial sage — boasts numerous varieties, each as hardy as the next. Salvia grows best in direct sunlight and tends to grow rapidly, easily resisting summertime heat. For best results, as soon as salvia stops blooming, shear back the plants to about one-third their height; this should result in a second bloom later in the summer.

Also known as liatris spicata, this plant may be native to marshy terrain but has proven to be surprisingly drought-resistant, and will thrive in all types of soil. As a bonus, the plant's high nectar content and tube-shaped flowers make it highly attractive to monarch butterflies.

Peonies are a one of the most reliable perennials you can plant in your garden, and will last for years and years without any ongoing care. Peonies are ideal for most parts of Canada, as they require some months of cold in order to bloom well in May and June.
Photo Credit: RD Pixelshop/Flickr Creative CommonsSource: www.flickr.com
As sumptuous as they are durable, bearded iris plants are prized for their crown-like flowers atop tall, elegant stems, and have been known to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Not unlike peonies, bearded iris tends to thrive better after a period of cold weather. They should be planted in a sunny spot in late summer, and require at least six hours of sun per day.

A perfect perennial for Canadian gardens, Buddleia (also known by the nickmane "butterfly bush") will thrive if planted in a sunny spot. While buddleia will die back to the ground in the fall, this "power perennial" will grow back bigger and stronger the following spring.

These bright-yellow flowers will add a beautiful splash of colour. Similar to rudbeckia, these native prairie plants won't suffer much if they're neglected when it comes to fertilizer and water.

Not only will Russian sage create a stunning blue haze-like effect in your garden, all it needs to do it is full sun and good drainage. It's also extremely pest-resistant — even deer won't eat it.

Coneflower, also known as echinacea, is a wild plant native to North America, and will self-seed regularly while easily adapting to a variety of climactic conditions. This is not a plant that demands a lot of attention, and is an ideal choice for beginner gardeners who can enjoy watching these plants magically resurrect themselves each spring.

Sedum has a well-earned reputation as for hardiness, practically impervious to heat, drought and disease, one of the first perennials to bloom in the spring and one of the last to retreat in the fall when the weather turns cold.
Steel Blue Globe Thistle

Globe Thistle (or Echinops ritro) is a favourite perennial in many gardens, a beautifully coloured thistle that's as hardy as it looks. Not only does the globe thistle thrive in dry soil, there's also no need to deadhead the globe thistle in the winter — a lazy gardener's delight!

Providing consistent response times to users of mobile applications is challenging because there are several variable delays between the start of a user's request and the completion of the response. These delays include location lookup, sensor data acquisition, radio wake-up, network transmissions, and processing on both the client and server. To allow applications to achieve consistent response times in the face of these variable delays, this paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of the Timecard system. Timecard provides two abstractions: the first returns the time elapsed since the user started the request, and the second returns an estimate of the time it would take to transmit the response from the server to the client and process the response at the client. With these abstractions, the server can adapt its processing time to control the end-to-end delay for the request. Implementing these abstractions requires Timecard to track delays across multiple asynchronous activities, handle time skew between client and server, and estimate network transfer times. Experiments with Timecard incorporated into two mobile applications show that the end-to-end delay is within 50 ms of the target delay of 1200 ms over 90% of the time.


"What matters most now is the well-being of our kids."
Brad Pitt is breaking his silence on the breakdown of his marriage to Angelina Jolie for the first time.
Jolie filed for divorce after two years of marriage - and 12 together as a couple - on the grounds of irreconcilable differences earlier on Tuesday (September 20).
In his first public statement on the divorce, Brad Pitt told People: "I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids.
The shocking divorce proceedings were announced several hours earlier by Angelina's attorney Robert Offer: "This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting, and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time."
However, Jolie did eventually release a statement to E! News through her manager Geyer Kosinski, adding: "Angelina will always do what's in the best interest of taking care of her family.
"She appreciates everyone's understanding of their need for privacy at this time."
The now-former couple met and fell in love after working together on director Doug Liman's Mr and Mrs Smith remake, which was released in 2005.
They would go on to raise six children together over the next 12 years.
Pitt was of course previously married to Jennifer Aniston between 2000 and 2005, while Jolie was wed twice before to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.

Damian Hinds, the education secretary, has announced that the government will launch a consultation to review post-16 qualifications and whether they are fit for purpose.
The aim is that low-quality courses will be scrapped in favour of those that successfully equip young people for higher education or employment.
There are currently around 12,000 post-16 qualifications available – in addition to A-levels and T-levels – and many overlap, causing confusion. Hence the government's desire to streamline them.
The consultation will review the post-16 qualification landscape (excluding mainstream A and T-keveks) to discover what works best.
Hinds said A-levels and T-levels are the "gold standard choice" for young people after GCSEs.
"But we also want to make sure that all options available to students are high-quality and give them the skills they need to get a great job, go on to further education or training, and employers can be confident they can access the workforce they need for the future," he said.
Matthew Fell, the chief UK policy director of business body the CBI, added: "Young people need clear, high-quality and easy-to-understand options at 16 – whether that's A-levels, new T-levels, or doing an apprenticeship.


The Practical Zone System: for Film and Digital Photography 4th edition is an updated version of what has become the classic book on the technique developed by Ansel Adams in the 1940's. The zone system was designed to provide photographers with a precise and intuitive way to control the dynamic range of their negatives to produce printable results regardless of the contrast of the subjects they are shooting.
What Chris Johnson has done in this new edition is completely update his approach to teaching the zone system with new film/developer testing data and new illustrations and examples.
Most importantly, he has added an extensive new chapter that provides a detailed explanation for how the zone system's conceptual approach and terminology can help digital photographers achieve the highest possible quality from digital image processes. The emphasis is on subjects that include: optimizing digital camera exposure, color management and a fine printing workflow.

WASHINGTON (JTA) – Herbert Diess believes he has a special obligation to combat the rise of the far right in Europe because the company he leads was once quite literally its engine.
"Volkswagen has because of its history, and our history in the Second World War, we have an obligation to care about anti-Semitism and racism," the Volkswagen CEO told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in a rare interview this week. "We have more obligation than others. The whole company was built up by the Nazi regime." [Read more…]

WASHINGTON (JTA) – U.S. President Donald Trump praised Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as a "tough" defender of Christianity, ignoring calls from lawmakers of both parties to call out the right-wing leader as anti-Semitic and anti-democratic.
"Viktor Orbán has done a tremendous job in so many different ways," Trump said Monday in greeting Orbán at the White House. "Highly respected. Respected all over Europe. Probably, like me, a little bit controversial, but that's OK. That's OK. You've done a good job and you've kept your country safe." [Read more…]

WASHINGTON (JTA) – It's not an unfamiliar frame for describing the rise of the new nationalism: There's a bad wind blowing through the West, and nothing less than democracy is at stake.
What makes it especially unsettling for Beate and Serge Klarsfeld is that they have lived through it before – and spent a subsequent lifetime trying to make sure the "bad wind" did not return.
"There is a bad wind in Europe and democracy is losing its influence," Serge Klarsfeld told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) in an interview Monday, just before he and his wife received the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's Elie Wiesel Award for their lifetime of hunting Nazis and forcing Europe to confront its past.

The Architect Elevator
You'll need a clutch to shift gears
When shifting gears, both a car and an organization need a clutch. But careful, it can be a grinder!
Gregor Hohpe
I help enterprises with their architecture strategy and cloud transformation journey by connecting the penthouse with the engine room. Ex-Google, Allianz, ThoughtWorks, Deloitte.
Shifting Gears: Transmissions
Organizations shifting gears
The organizational clutch
The clutch takes the friction
2-Speed IT burns the clutch
Supporting the clutch
I am somewhat known for using car metaphors, whether it's the tractor racing the sports car, you having to move before you can steer, or coining the term "digital rpm's" for the build-measure-learn cycle. There may be a number of reasons for this: first, I do like cars, though mostly as design objects and engineering marvels because I actually prefer the subway over being stuck in traffic; second, cars being some of the most complex technical systems easily found in most people's daily lives makes them a suitable metaphor for IT; lastly, they're mechanical, so you could, at least in principle, take one apart and see all the pieces and their respective functions clearly - something that isn't easy to do with your software.
Car owners are historically split into two camps: those who prefer a manual gearbox and those who prefer an automatic transmission. The former gives more direct control over the car and (with a good driver) can be more fuel efficient as there's a direct connection between engine and wheels. In the opposite camp are the folks who are not looking to build muscle in their left leg, but who want their car to just go. Even though the lines have blurred significantly (and electric cars don't need all this stuff in the first place), most "serious" cars like trucks or Formula 1 cars use manual transmissions, which gives a hint as to what side I stand on.
Manual transmissions need a clutch to serve an important function: when shifting gears, e.g. from first to second gear, the engine speed and the transmission speed (connected to the wheels) don't match. The reason is simple: in second gear the engine doesn't have to spin as fast as it does in first gear - that's why you shift in the first place. However, the car still moves at the same speed, so the transmission speed hasn't changed. Depressing the clutch disconnects the two, allowing you to let the engine speed drop a bit, select the new gear, and then re-engage the clutch to re-connect the engine with the wheels. Modern transmissions can do all this for you, but the principle remains the same.
Many organizations are also looking to speed up: they are too slow to be successful in a world increasingly dominated by digital players who use short software release cycles to drive rapid innovation. Speeding up an existing organization isn't merely a matter of pushing the gas pedal harder - that'll just burst the boiler, although we're admittedly mixing metaphors a little bit.
So, just like with an engine, these organizations need to "shift gears" in order to go faster. The difference between those gears may take the form of changes to processes and organizational structures or revisiting basic assumptions. To shift those gears, organizations also need a clutch: new and old processes won't necessarily work together, or at least not at the same speed. This can be the case for example because financial, organizational, procurement, or approval processes aren't designed to move quickly. Anyone involved in a transformation has seen them: while engineers celebrate the cloud's elastic cost model, accounting is looking for predictability to lock down next year's budget.
The organizational role of the clutch is usually played by a person or small team. This can be the head of innovation or more likely a regular IT leadership role who has taken a keen interest in speeding up the organization. In my prior job as Chief Architect, I was the clutch, working between different speeds of my team and the rest of the organization. You'll find th person playing the clutch quite easily in most organizations undergoing a transformation.
Both in cars and in organizations, the clutch compensates for the difference in speed between two moving parts. This becomes clear when the car needs to start moving: because a combustion engine cannot reduce its speed below a certain point, but the wheels aren't moving at all while the car is standing, the connection between engine and wheels has to made gradually. The clutch allows the necessary slippage between the two parts until the car is moving fast enough to fully release the clutch pedal to make a permanent connection between engine and wheels.
Using the clutch is therefore a delicate affair: if you release the clutch too quickly, you'll stall the engine. If you do it too gradually, you'll cause excessive wear on the clutch: it'll heat up and will ultimately burn out. The same happens when not shifting gears properly: if there's a big difference in speed between engine and wheels, the clutch takes the heat, literally.
The person acting as the clutch has got a tough job as he or she compensates for the difference in speed between two moving parts of the organization. As chief architect, I was running a new team in second gear inside an organization stuck in the first gear. It's not surprising that I was taking quite a bit of friction as the organizational clutch:
requisitioning server hardware on the "black market" (see 37 Things One Architect Knows)
being accused of preventing project progress as while trying to reduce tool diversity
convincing the team to go on voluntary on-call as their job description didn't allow them to be on pager duty
ordering MacBooks for the team on my personal credit card
maneuvering around compensation constraints to reward people for their outstanding work and their rapidly increasing market value
making detailed budget forecasts despite 95% of my department's cost being fixed
filling out forms to justify employees working longer than 10 hours
It may be no surprise then, that I received a most challenging but still most appreciated customer recognition from the HR team.
Despite is being a tough, and highly valuable, job, being the organizational clutch may not make you universally appreciated, either. As you operate in between two speeds, you'll be viewed by the "1st gear" organization as an iconoclast: you'll be charged with not following existing processes, being a naysayer, disturbing the collegial work environment, and causing all sorts of other trouble. The "2nd gear" organization you are building will complain that things aren't moving as quickly as you promised, and while they appreciate their MacBooks they still have to use a virtual Windows desktop to shell into production servers. Also, they won't see most of the work you are doing in the background.
The clutch taking the friction also makes us wonder about so-called two-speed architectures. Having an organization run at two speeds for a long time will cause constant friction in the clutch and wear it out. The clutch is made for shifting gears, not for staying between gears for a long time. The same is true for organizations: two-speed architectures are meant as a time-limited transition state while shifting gears, not as a permanent state.
If you try to keep two speeds for a long time, you'll end up like the guy in this picture: sadly, that's the clutch smoking, not the tires, so he'll be spending a good chunk of money on a new clutch. The same may happen to your organization: looking for a new person to be the "clutch" is going to be very difficult, and perhaps expensive, as such folks are very difficult to come buy. As I often joke: few folks are as stupid as myself to take such a role.
You might consider running your organizations at different speeds while having the clutch is disengaged, i.e. the clutch pedal fully pushed. However, just like in a car, there's no power to the wheels while the clutch is disengaged - it disconnects engine and transmission. So you can rev up the engine all you want, but your organization won't speed up a single bit. If you feel that organizations won't fall into this trap, think again: many innovations centers / engines have little to no connection to the main body. That's why you might have been better off just buying FaceBook stock. Lastly, your foot will also get very tired from holding the pedal down…
When I work with customers undergoing a transformation, one of the first things I do is to find their "clutch". Because I know how hard their job is - I did it for over five years - I look for ways to support them, for example by helping them carry the message into the "first gear" organizations or setting up a better IT infrastructure that'll help take them into a higher gear.
The "clutches" are generally extremely passionate and energetic people - otherwise they would have given up a long time ago. So, it's important to not wear these people out.

Portis makes surprise visit to 'Skins, hopes to return next year
ASHBURN, VA. -- Running back Clinton Portis made a surprise appearance in the Washington Redskins' locker room Wednesday, knowing that he might never return to his professional home of the past seven years.
"It's a time you take stuff for granted, it's a time you come to the realization that every game is precious," said Portis, who has played in just 13 games the last two seasons because of a concussion in 2009 and a torn groin this year. "You don't have forever and the last few years show you that."
Portis, 29, just 77 yards of 10,000 career rushing yards and 648 shy of Hall of Famer John Riggins' franchise record, wants to remain with the Redskins, but he doesn't know what to expect.
"That's out of my control," said Portis, who was averaging 4.2 yards per carry when his season ended in Week 11 but is due to make $8.2 million in 2011. "That's up to the front office. If they want to keep me, of course they have first option. If they want me to let go, I'm OK with understanding the business side of this. It will be a bittersweet moment, but you gotta go on."
The Redskins wrap up their season by playing host to the New York Giants on Sunday.
Portis said that unlike many previous years, he worked diligently during the offseason to show new coach Mike Shanahan, who drafted him in Denver in 2002 and traded him to Washington in 2004, that he wanted to be part of the program.
Despite Shanahan's underwhelming 6-9 debut, Portis said the coach is turning around an organization that he believed was on the edge of disaster, notably by refusing to give into the demands of former All-Pro defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth. The Redskins had made Haynesworth the NFL's richest defensive player in 2009, before his much-publicized spats with Shanahan over his position and conditioning.
Portis said the Redskins lost a lot of close games in which a play or two by Haynesworth could have made a difference.
"When you go and sacrifice a guy such as an Albert Haynesworth to prove like, 'OK. This is my team, I'm in control,' sacrifice a guy you know can help you win -- it's get with the program or get out," Portis said.
Ryan Torain, who also has had injury issues but is four years younger than Portis and much less costly, has emerged as Washington's No. 1 running back with 681 yards and 4.7 per carry. Not that Portis believes he's done if Shanahan bids him adieu again.
"I know I got good football left in me, being fresh, the last two years not having a lot of contact," Portis said. "The two injuries, the concussion and the groin, was just really fluke injuries. I don't think that's a wear and tear like, 'Oh, his body broke down.' I don't think I'll be just a contributor on any team.
"I think a defensive coordinator will probably game plan (for me). I don't think you're gonna look and say, 'That's Portis. Don't worry 'bout him.'"
Notes:Redskins kicker Graham Gano was selected NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after his 31-yarder beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-17 in overtime last Sunday. Three weeks ago, he missed two chip shots in a 17-16 loss to the Buccaneers. "After the Tampa Bay game, it's good to come back and show everybody what I can do," Gano said. ... The Redskins placed starting free safety Kareem Moore (knee) on season-ending injured reserve. Moore had surgery on his right knee in August and will have another operation on the knee Monday. The Redskins replaced Moore with safety Reggie Jones, who had been with the New Orleans Saints.

What New Yorkers Are Thinking About the Greatest Depression: It Won't Be Too Bad!
Photo: Melissa Hom So you know how we're getting all psyched for the Greatest Depression?

Companies in the green hydrogen sector got some cheery news with the recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, which dedicates funds to help green hydrogen compete with other forms of energy. Part of the money will go toward improving the cost efficiency of green hydrogen, an emissions-free fuel produced from solar, water, and wind sources rather than fossil fuels.
One company that stands to benefit is Electric Hydrogen, a Boston-based startup that designs manufacturing facilities that extract hydrogen from water using renewable energy. The process itself is called electrolysis and uses electrolyzer technology.

Electric Hydrogen (EH2) bills itself as a "deep carbonization company" that aims to pioneer low-cost and fossil-free hydrogen systems with a focus on industrial applications.
Electric Hydrogen aims to help eliminate more than 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions from hard-to-electrify industries such as steel, ammonia, and freight transport.
As Bloomberg reported, Electric Hydrogen isn't the only company that makes its living with electrolyzer technology. Among the others that sell electrolyzers are Bloom Energy and Cummins. But EH2 takes it a step further by designing entire plants around electrolyzer technology, which CEO Raffi Garabedian says is a key to cutting costs and improving efficiency.
The plants are still in the development stage. When they are up and running, they'll require 100 megawatts of electricity and be able to produce as much as 48 tons of hydrogen per day, depending on the electricity source. Customers that need more output can order another plant.
"We're able to condense all the infrastructure into a much smaller footprint, and that reduces the cost," Garabedian told Bloomberg in an interview.
Garabedian co-founded Electric Hydrogen in 2020 along with David Eaglesham, the company's chief technology officer; Derek Warnick, the chief financial officer; and Dorian West, the executive vice president-engineering. The team brought aboard a wealth of experience in green energy and finance, with combined professional backgrounds that included stints with First Solar, Tesla, Pellion Technologies, the World Bank, and Breakthrough Energy Ventures.
In the two years since its founding, EH2 has already lined up an impressive roster of climate tech investors, including Breakthrough Energy, Prelude Ventures, Capricorn Investment Group, Energy Impact Partners, Fifth Wall Climate Tech, and S2G Ventures. EH2 also has partnerships with strategic investors like Amazon Decarbonization Fund, Honeywell, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Rio Tinto.
EH2 got a major financial boost on June 22 when it raised $198 million in a series B funding round led by Fifth Wall Climate Tech and featuring participation from S2G Ventures, Silicon Valley Bank, and Trinity Capital.
The funding will help EH2 ramp up its operation, including the deployment of demonstration projects to produce green hydrogen at a large scale for industrial and infrastructure applications.

"This funding round fuels the next phase of our evolution," Garabedian said in a statement. "We've demonstrated our enabling core technology, built an amazing team, and now have the capital we need to get our technology out into the world and start curbing emissions. Just as importantly, the participation of strategic partners at the forefront of the industries we are poised to decarbonize provides vital insight that will facilitate and accelerate our path to market."
As EH2 notes on its website, industries such as mining, steel production, and agriculture are among the most difficult to decarbonize. The company aims to meet the challenge through its patented approach to producing hydrogen from electricity and water, specially designed for high-volume, low-cost production required to support massive industrial operations. The company's systems run on 100% clean energy.

In a press release, Fifth Wall Partner Peter Gajdoš called the funding round "the biggest step yet" toward decarbonizing hard-to-decarbonize industries.
"We've been searching for the most promising answers to that challenge and found one in EH2," Gajdoš said. "Their team, cross-disciplinary expertise, and visionary technology place them at the forefront of the race to make deep cuts in industrial emissions with compelling economics."

How much is Trippie Redd worth?
Profession: Professional Rapper
Binge Worthy
Who Is Trippie Redd
How did Trippie Redd earn his net worth?
Why is he so famous?
What makes him so successful?
Summing-Up
Trippie Redd is a rapper, singer and writer. Most of his raps he has written himself and include some of the catchiest lyrics out there.
Trippie Redd was born in Canton, Ohio in 1999. His birth name is Michael Lamar White IV and he was brought up by his mother as his father was in jail for much of his childhood. His younger brother uses the nickname Hippie Redd, and he had a musician older brother known as Dirty Redd. Sadly, Dirty Redd died in a car crash in 2014. The brothers have some Irish blood in their background, plus African American and Native American ancestry.
Trippie was exposed to a wide range of music by his mother, who had a wide taste in music. Trippie Redd was inspired by a rapper known as Lil Tae, and began to make music himself.
A move to Atlanta brought Trippie into contact with Lil Wop, who rated him, recognized his talent, and helped him to get a record deal.
American rapper, singer, and songwriter Trippie Redd has a net worth of $5 million dollars, as of 2021. Redd's net worth has been speculated on, White himself claimed he was worth $7 million after purchasing a $300,000 home for his mother in 2017.
Estimates of Trippie Redd's net worth vary and there are very few facts that we can pin down on his earnings. Some estimates put his fortune at $4 million while others suggest he is worth at least $7 million. Looking at the dates of these estimates, it seems that Trippie's fortune is increasing rapidly. His worth was estimated at $1.5 million in 2018, $4 million in 2019, and then some estimates put him at $7 million in 2020. We can safely calculate that Redd's net worth is at least $5 million dollars as of 2021. Regardless of the exact figure, one thing is for sure, Trippie Redd's growth and popularity have skyrocketed in recent years.
His earnings mostly coming from his music career, album sales have been impressive. He also has a dazzling social media presence and his live performances bring in even more for the young rapper. He also has income from merchandise sales both at his concerts and online. A big part of his earnings comes from social media. YouTube earnings run into tens of thousands of dollars per month, plus he earns about half of that again from SoundCloud. Sponsored posts on Instagram yield some $20,000 each.
Trippie has signed up to some lucrative endorsement deals, including Gucci and Hulu.
Lil Wop's influence and support got Trippie Redd on to the first rungs of the ladder of success. Kodie Shane got involved from the start, and Trippie was able to record three music projects. Awakening My Inner Beast, Rock the World Trippie, and Beast Mode. These were impressive achievements, and Trippie then signed with the record label Strainge Entertainment. As a consequence of this Trippie moved to Los Angeles. In 2017 Trippie released his first mixtape, entitled A Love Letter to You. This included the song "Love Scars" which achieved 8 million YouTube views. Another 13 million views were achieved on SoundCloud.
Trippie then appeared on the XXXTenacion album entitled 17. One song from the album called "F*ck Love" made it to number 28 on Billboard's Hot 100.
Trippie followed up with a second mixtape, called A Love Letter to You 2. The album sold well, debuting at 34 on Billboard 200. Trippie was getting much better known despite having been a professional recording artist for less than a year. In the summer of 2018, Trippie's first studio album appeared titled Life's a Trip. This album went straight to number 4 on Billboard's 200 chart. Singles from the album were also chart successes. A second studio album followed with the enigmatic title !. This album began in the charts at number 3.
KSI, the British YouTuber and rapper invited Trippie to collaborate with him on his single Wake Up Call which charted in the United Kingdom, reaching number 11.
Currently, Trippie's fans are awaiting the release of another album Dreamer, which was originally scheduled for release in June 2020.
When a famous name dies, then the news media concentrate on the circumstances of the death for days, or even weeks, after the event. The announcement that Trippie Redd had died was actually fake news. In 2018, various news outlets suggested that he had died as a result of a shooting on the morning of one of his scheduled concerts. There was no truth in these reports.
Another prank story stated that Trippie had been murdered at his home, and that he suffered two gunshots wounds to the stomach and he bled to death. None of this was true.
Trippie seems to attract these macabre stories. A third prank story tells us that he has died from a mysterious disease called Sugon. It even states that he died at the Cedars Hospital located in Los Angeles.
As a child, Trippie was exposed to a wide range of musical styles by his mother. He came to appreciate that there were different types of music, but he particularly found hip-hop the most appealing. Once he realized that he had some vocal talent, he determined to make music his career.
In Trippie's case, the wisest move he made was to seek out those who could help him. His willingness to move, firstly to Columbus and then to Los Angeles, enabled him to achieve his aim of furthering his career.
Trippie is determined to be himself, and not let success change his approach to life or his attitude to work and to others. He believes that you can lose something of yourself when you deny who you are.
Love for what he does is important to Trippie. He enjoys making music, and he enjoys the satisfaction he gets from creating songs that others appreciate and get pleasure from listening to. He draws inspiration from a number of musical genres, but blends them together with his own style. Doing this makes him happy and fulfilled and that, for Trippie, is what life is all about.
Trippie has had feuds with other rappers, and has had run ins with the law, but none of this has stopped him putting his best efforts into his music. He takes the view that experiences are valuable and will provide him with inspiration for his songs. And he just wants to be the very best he can be at what he does.
Another reason why Trippie Redd may have caught on so far is his name and image. He brings a unique "red" new look to the scene that can't help but get a second glance. By the time you've finished absorbing his image you can't help but get hooked on his hip hop, and that's really helped the young rapper get listened to.
Trippie Redd did not have the best start in life, but he is fortunate that his mother introduced him to lots of different music at an early age. This broad base led to his love of music, and his decision to make a career out of it.
He has worked hard and wisely to build a career in the rap industry. Trippie knows his own mind and intends to follow his instinct and his heart when developing his music. His music has to reflect who he is, and speak to fans about what he believes in. This self-belief is something everyone should cultivate.

ned's blog - How do you make a dedicated server visable online?
How do you make a dedicated server visable online?
While in one of my Doom 3 servers I was asked some questions about dedicated server setups.
How do you make the server seen in online server browsers?
� First! Your router MUST be bridged. A direct connection is required to run a Doom 3 dedicated server. Port-forwarding will NOT enable the server to be seen on the net.
� To setup voting options the cvar g_voteFlags is used. Default is Zero which mean all voting is ENABLED.
Each voting option has a number value. The voting options you DON'T want, add the corresponding number and use the answer for g_voteFlags.
NOTE: One more thing, some default ISP router firmware will make it impossible to host a Doom 3 server. Initially I was unable to get my test servers to be seen online. I tried the same router I was supplied with by my ISP but with standard firmware and the Doom 3 servers were seen from the net.

Leyland Trucks è un costruttore britannico di autocarri medi e pesanti con sede a Leyland, Lancashire.

Storia

La storia della società ha origine dalla Leyland Motors fondata nel 1896, poi parte della British Leyland e poi fusa nel conglomerato British Leyland (BL). Dopo il collasso della gruppo BL e la nazionalizzazione a metà degli anni '70 viene creato il Gruppo Rover; la divisione truck confluisce nella olandese DAF NV che, dopo la bancarotta di quest'ultima e il seguente management buyout del giugno 1993, fa diventare nuovamente Leyland Trucks società autonoma. Conseguentemente il gruppo statunitense Paccar acquisisce Leyland Trucks e DAF. Il gruppo statunitense decise di assegnare allo stabilimento inglese (Leyland Assembly Plant, all'epoca con 1.000 persone) la progettazione e costruzione dei veicoli medi e pesanti DAF. Nel 2008 Leyland produsse più di 24.500 autocarri, per il 50% esportati.

Stream a world of music and play it in 2 rooms in perfect sync or choose different tracks for each zone - the perfect multi-room starter set!
Fill 2 rooms with the same or different music from a range of sources. For instance, listen to music from a streaming service in your living room on the Stereo Cubes and your personal digital music collection from a USB pen drive on the One M in the kitchen.
The included Expand WiFi optimizer connects directly to your router and creates an autonomous signal for your Raumfeld system. This allows even WiFi networks with weaker or unstable signals to support the uniterrupted streaming of music to your speakers.
The set consists of the Stereo Cubes and the One M. The Stereo Cubes are compact hifi WiFi stereo speakers with excellent sound quality. The One M is an all-in-one WiFi speaker with a 2-way stereo system and built-in mini subwoofer. An Android or iOS smartphone or tablet can be used as a remote for the entire system thanks to a free app.
Listen to music via internet radio or services like Spotify and Napster or music from your home network, USB, DLNA or UPnP enabled device or software. MP3 players and other source devices can also be directly connected to the Stereo Cubes or One M via line out.
After an easy installation process, the Expand automatically connects directly to your WiFi router and communicates the signal without drops or interruptions to each Raumfeld device in your network. The little organizational wonder can also host media storage devices via its USB port, making it possible to stream titles from your digital library. The system's memory can index up to 200,000 titles for anytime access via the Raumfeld Controller App.
Home WiFi signals can be brought to the breaking point by many competing devices, the transmission of larger files or thick walls. The result is often dropped signals and interruptions – irritating hindrances to the enjoyment of your music. The Raumfeld Expand puts your music streams back in the fast lane by creating an autonomous WiFi signal exclusively for your Raumfeld system.
Lossless audio tracks can place a large burden on home WiFi systems which often host a range of other devices from smartphones and tablets to game consoles. To facilitate the best multi-room experience with top quality digital music files, the Raumfeld Expand create a dedicated WiFi network for your music. The system can manage an incredible 200,000 tracks for instant access to your favourites, playlists and other personal settings across a huge range of music via the Raumfeld App.
In addition, the Expand is equipped with a USB port to which even large external hard drives can be directly attached. NAS and DLNA/UPnP media servers containing compatible music files can also be accessed by the system.
Lossless audio presents a challenge to audio streaming because of the large volumes of data involved. In order to cope with bigger quantities of data within a limited broadband, many manufacturers of streaming products compromise the signal. In other words, the lossless files that you select from a service like TIDAL or your private music library is not what is played back. Raumfeld, however, respects the integrity of all music files and does not compress them for easier streaming. The Expand creates the wireless infrastructure needed for streaming the best quality audio without compromise.
Equipped with two adjustable antennas for incredibly reliable and fast transmission, the Expand is perfect for situations where a weak router, thick walls or the use of many streaming devices at once hinders the smooth streaming of larger files. The external placement of the antennas extends the range of the wireless network for music enjoyment without drops or disruptions from multiple Raumfeld players in any room in your home.
Integrating the Expand into your Raumfeld system requires absolutely no prior technical knowledge. Simply connect the device to your WiFi router via the included Ethernet cable and let the system do the rest. The Expand automatically recognizes all Raumfeld players already connected to your router. Additional Raumfeld players can be added to the network with the simple press of a button. A single, discreet LED light keeps the user updated as to the device's status.
Thanks to its compact dimensions and integrated wall mounts, the Expand is easy to integrate into your home.
We have received feedback from a few users that accessing the network share "Raumfeld Expand" via Finder may take long or is not possible at all.
* Open System Menu > Software Update... and make sure you've installed the latest software version. Otherwise perform a software update.
* Disable spotlight for the Raumfeld Expand by adding the Expand's "MUSIC" folder to the list of locations under System Settings > Spotlight > Privacy.
Should the speed of access not be improved by these settings, please get in touch with our service team.
At present the Raumfeld Expand is only being sold with an hard disk size of 160 GB. However, the storage space of your Raumfeld Expand can be extended by connecting hard disks onto the two USB 2.0 inputs. Another possibility to increase the storage capacity of the complete system is to integrate an NAS (Network Attached Storage) into your network (Also look up Music Resources in the online manual).
My Expand (previously called Base) does not start (left LED lights up, middle LED flashes every 5 seconds).
If the Raumfeld Expand doesn't start properly after setup (left LED permanently lid, centre LED flashing every 5 seconds), it doesn't receive an IP address from your network router.
We suggest to probe the following solutions step by step. Should the problem persist afterwards, please get in touch with our service team.
First make sure that the router is connected to the proper port (right network port, labelled "ROUTER"). To connect a computer, always use the network port on the left (labelled with a network symbol).
If you operate the Expand without a connection to your network router make sure that the ROUTER port is free.
The DHCP server should automatically assign IP addresses to computers in the network.
If you prefer not to enable automatic IP addresses, make sure a static IP address is assigned to each device. Please note that the same IP address must not be assigned to multiple devices.
Should the Expand not react after installing an update please remove the power plug for at least 3 minutes. Afterwards, the Expand should boot normally.
Should removing the power plug not be sufficient to restore system functionality, please perform the following steps which will recover the Expand. Hereby, all settings and data stored on the internal hard disk of the Expand will be preserved.
First remove the Expand's power plug for at least 30 seconds.
Then, connect the USB stick to the upper USB port of the Expand.
Press and hold the setup button on the back of the device while you attach the Expand's power plug in order to start it.
Please press and hold the setup button for 10 more seconds.
After max. 30 seconds the outer and inner LEDs will start to blink alternatingly. This indicates that the recovery has been started. Please note that the recovery may take up to 5 minutes. After that, the Expand will reboot automatically.
Do I need a Raumfeld Expand (previously named Base)?
A Raumfeld Expand is recommended in a multi room system. If you would only like to play music in a single room you only need a playback device and a controller (Raumfeld Controller or Teufel Raumfeld app for your smartphone).
By connecting to your home network the Expand is able to access your music stored on a computer or NAS (network attached storage). With the Raumfeld Controller you then have access to your complete digital music library.
If you own a Raumfeld Expand the size of your music library may exceed 200,000 tracks. Instead, without the Raumfeld Expand, the maximum capacity of your music database is about 50,000 tracks.
Should you wish to extend your system with a Raumfeld Expand, get in touch with our customer service team.
