Wendy Plant: over 30 years of dedicated service
junio | 2015
Wendy Plant has been with Oikocredit for over 30 years, making her Oikocredit's longest standing employee. Initially joining as an administrative staffer after moving to the Netherlands from her native Australia, Wendy's role has changed many times over the years she's been with the organization. Based at Oikocredit's International office in Amersfoort, Wendy is now personal assistant to the managing director as well as travel officer, organizing all staff, board and annual general meetings, arranging staff exchanges and trainings that take place at the Amersfoort office for the cooperative. In recognition of her dedication to Oikocredit, we asked Wendy to share some of her experiences and insights from her time with Oikocredit.
Why did you join Oikocredit?
"It was the early 1980s and I was travelling across Europe. It was here in the Netherlands that I met and fell in love with my husband, a Dutchman. My family's roots are also here, so I decided to stay. Once I learnt Dutch, I built on my secretarial skills. It was then that I saw an advertisement in the paper for an administrative support position with Oikocredit, which was in English so therefore quite noticeable for me! At that stage in my career the notion of working for an international development organization was also quite appealing to me."
What was working at Oikocredit like when you joined?
"When I first started, Oikocredit was in its infancy, with only four people in the Amersfoort office and around five in the regional offices. Now, 30 years on, we have around 400 staff across our international office, regions and support associations, with over 600 volunteers. Back when I joined our roles were also far broader, doing everything ourselves, whether it was reporting each share individually in a file, to writing the annual report or making new brochures. I have worked with 7 managing directors."
What is it like now?
"The organization has grown and changed immensely, now having separate departments for communications, finance, IT, renewable energy, social performance and so on. Think of technology and social media. The professionalism of the organization which is one of the key changes I've seen. Oikocredit is no longer a small child; it's grown and blossomed into a well-respected and mature adult. But in light of all these changes, we've never lost sense of why we're here, keeping our mission is challenging but an integral part of our organization which is important to us."
What do you enjoy most about working at Oikocredit?
"The people! Whether it be my colleagues and peers in Amersfoort or across the globe, it's always been the people who've made this job for me. I am lucky to have a position where I get to meet people from such diverse cultures. I have the opportunity to travel once or twice a year to a country where Oikocredit is active, which is also a great opportunity for me to see Oikocredit's work in the field. I get to learn about different cultures this way, which I find to be very valuable both professionally and personally.
What does working for Oikocredit mean to you?
"It means a lot to me. In my positions I've been able to use my various different skills throughout the entire organization. I've also been able to be part of the bigger picture and to have input in various ways. What Oikocredit is doing in the world is of great importance and has great impact for many people and their communities, which means a lot to me."

Artist Profile — Kristi Taylor
I have always admired people who can pick an interest and stick with it. Not that it's bad to dabble—we learn so much that way. But focusing on an avocation or even concentrating on a certain theme can result in impressive work.
That's how it is with abstract artist Kristi Taylor and her Tree Views series of paintings. Her kaleidoscopic interpretation of light filtering through trees has evolved.
"Many of my early Tree View compositions included roots," said Kristi. "I think the roots grounded them visually in a way and as I moved toward abstraction I wanted to focus on the branches. My newest collection, Sunlit Trees, depicts full branches with circles of light shining through."
"Tree View no. 2" is one of Kristi's earliest works in the series.
By "Tree View no. 7" she had better developed her trademark inclusion of light.
For the colorist living in the Appalachian mountain region of Tennessee, the bountiful trees were the perfect choice. "The Tree View series began in autumn as the leaves dropped from the trees revealing the lyrical lines of the branches," said Kristi. "I was inspired by the shapes they created in the empty sky."
Light dances through Kristi's acrylics on canvas. From a distance, the glisten and glow is apparent. "A number of people have commented my work reminds them of stained glass so I hope that means I am doing something right with light," said Kristi.
But gaze only from a distance and you'll miss out. Zoom in on one of the Tree Views and the textural brush strokes and confident color combinations become the focus.
"The name Tree Views has a dual meaning in my work," said Kristi. "Primarily it references two distinct vantages. One from a distance which relies on movement created with shape and color harmony and the other close up revealing the heavy textures and complexity of the color palette."
Kristi's passion for color is evident in her work. Other artists she admires for mastery of color and their timeless work include Paul Klee, Kandinsky, Gustav Klimt and Georgia O'Keeffe.
"It can be like music," said Kristi. "The right arrangement of tones creates harmony and the possibilities are endless."
With an interest in Feng Shui, Kristi believes that color can affect mood and well being. "I tend to favor palettes that reflect something between tranquility and happiness," said Kristi. "I want my color selections to make people feel good."
Because of the mix of color, geometric and organic elements, Kristi has seen her paintings work well with many styles of home decor. "I love pairing them with dark woods and leather elements to really play up the contrasts," said Kristi.
A career sidetrack into the world of digital design has served her well. In 1999, fresh out of college and armed with a Fine Art degree with a concentration in painting, Kristi found herself without the resources to market her then large-scale work to galleries. So she took a job in Web design. "That led to more new media jobs and…opportunities to learn a variety of digital mediums," said Kristi.
Her Web jobs gave her the skills and knowhow to confidently present and market her artwork online. "By the time my Tree View paintings had grown into a collection I had more then enough knowledge to get them out there."
"I didn't understand where my path was going while I was on it but everything has fallen into place," said Kristi.
Kristi's advice for other artists? "Don't use colors straight from the tube! Well, you can if you want to but I never do."
Kristi Taylor's paintings are found in galleries throughout the Southeast and are available online through:

Modern twist on tree art seems the perfect compliment to the trend in green design we're seeing these days.

Good point, Leia. I hadn't thought of that.

Such lovely creativity and light in the paintings! Thanks very much for sharing. Beautiful work…

You mention the light Kristi's work — that is what initially attracted me to it. She has obviously worked to perfect that element, and I adore the effect she has achieved.
Appreciate your visit,

How much is landlord insurance and how can I get cheaper prices online?
How much is landlord insurance for my business?
The cost of your landlord insurance policy will depend on many different factors. Here is a guide that will explain why the cost of landlords insurance is different for every type of landlord in the UK.
The amount of properties your business owns?
The cost of a policy will depend on the amount or houses and flats you own or your business owns. The more your properties you have, the more your policy will cost you.
Do you own a residential or commercial property?
Residential properties are less expensive to insure that commercial properties like factories and large office buildings. The size and risk will be assessed for each property and a price will be worked out based on each property you own.
What city is the rented property located?
Each city can be a different ball game when it comes to the price of landlord insurance. If you live in London where houses prices are higher, compared to Nottingham, you'll pay more if you live in London.
This can affect your total loss claim and the cost to re-build the property again.
Is the property a bungalow, flat, detached house, apartment or maisonette?
The type of property like bungalows, flats, semi-detached and terraced housing can have an impact on the cost of landlord insurance.
The amount of public liability your business needs?
The amount of cover you need will depend on the size of you business and the liability cover you think your business should have to fully cover liability from the public and other claims.
The market value of your rented property reflex's the cost of a policy?
The more your property is worth; the more it costs you to insure it, that's a general rule of thumb.
What costs do you want covered for, for a total building rebuild?
The must tell the insurance company what it costs for a total rebuild if your property is damages beyond repair. The cost of your landlord insurance will vary depending on this cost.
What year the property was built and the material used to build it?
When you get a quote from any landlord insurer, they'll ask you the year the building was built in and what material was used to build it i.e. bricks, stone or wood.
Do you need landlord contents insurance?
If your thinking about having total cover for your let, contents insurance is a great add-on as it covers your contents i.e. sofas, carpets, internal doors and other futures and fitting that costs you money to replace.
Taking a content insurance policy will add to the overall cost of your landlord insurance policy.
Does the property have subsidence history or structural damage?
If your property has had previous subsidence or structural damage, it can affect the price of your policy because it's more prone to cause problems in the future and cost insurance companies money.

The Big Game deserves a big dessert recipe, like these no-utensils-required handheld brownie sundae bars, coated in homemade magic shell!
Apparently there is some "Big Football Game" coming up. Anyone know anything about it? I swear that if it weren't for all the amazing game time recipes showing up throughout the blogosphere, it would pass me right by. That would be a major bummer though, because although I don't necessarily partake in football fandom, I do enjoy me a party full of good game time food. And if there's one thing that The Big Game brings out in all of us, it's some great munchies.
In case you missed it last week, here's a pretty extensive recipe roundup of great football party ideas. But in my book, a good party also needs some good dessert. And this definitely hits the spot.
So when I initially started thinking about what I wanted to do with this Edy's Limited Edition Touchdown Sundae I picked up from Walmart, I was a bit torn.
Some sort of milkshake? I do enjoy slurping down those bad boys. But then the cool caramel-filled chocolaty footballs hiding in the ice cream would get demolished.
Ice cream pie? I do love pie. But I don't want to have to deal with cutting up a pie and using utensils at a party.
Brownie sundae? Yes, oh man, love me some brownie sundaes, but then there's that whole utensil thing again. No one has time to handle utensils while simultaneously trying to frantically figure out if there's any remote chance of possibly winning money in your work's football pool. Please tell me it's not just me. I never win. This is going to be the year though. I can feel it.
Out of nowhere, I had this vision. Let's do that brownie sundae. But let's make it handheld. No utensils needed. Yea, a handheld brownie sundae, encased in a homemade magic shell. Boom.
And who knew making a homemade magic chocolate shell was as easy as 2 simple ingredients. Chocolate + Coconut Oil.
I seriously can't wait to serve these up to our friends this Sunday. And best part… I can make them way ahead of time and have them just chilling out in the freezer waiting for their triumphant debut.
Let brownies cool completely in the 9×9″ baking pan. Remove ice cream from freezer and allow to soften slightly. Add an even layer of ice cream, about 3/4″ thick, on top of the brownies (I used about 1 quart of the ice cream). Use an offset spatula dipped in hot water to shape and smooth out the ice cream into an even layer.
Cover pan with plastic wrap and place in freezer until ice cream is solid, at least 4 hours. Remove pan from freezer and using the foil or parchment overhangs, lift the brownie/ice cream block out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Remove foil/parchment and working quickly, cut the ice cream into 9 equal squares. Place on a baking sheet and return to freezer for at least 1 hour.
Combine chocolate with coconut oil in microwave safe dish. On half power, microwave chocolate and coconut oil in 30 second intervals, stirring between each, just until chocolate is melted and coconut oil is fully incorporated. Let cool to room temperature.
Remove baking sheet from freezer and working quickly, use a large fork or your fingers to dip ice cream squares one at a time into chocolate mixture and fully coat. Place dipped squares onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Return bars to freezer for at least 30 minutes before serving.
If planning longer storage, after the 30 minutes, wrap each brownie sundae bar individually in plastic wrap and store in ziploc bag in freezer.
Edy's Limited Edition Touchdown Sundae is available in stores only November through February! But don't worry, you can make these Brownie Sundae Bars year round by substituting one of Edy's many other awesome flavors!
Need more super easy football party ideas? You can easily grab Stouffers Party Size Lasagna with Meat Sauce, Ham & Cheese or Pepperoni Pizza Hot Pockets, or a DiGiorno pizza for the Big Game. Just heat and serve. It doesn't get any easier than that!
Want to play dress up? Cut your hot pockets in half and serve them with some creative dipping sauces. Top your DiGiorno pizza with a few fried eggs. And you could always add some extra cheese to that Stouffers lasagna and serve it alongside some garlic bread. Or transform it into a vegetable lasagna by adding some sauteed mushrooms and spinach on top and covering it with some extra sauce and cheese before baking.
Thanks so much Consuelo! Hope you are feeling better!
I LOVE making magic shell out of chocolate and coconut oil! So easy and yum-o-rama. Chris, this look fantastic! Such a creative twist on a brownie sundae, and everything is better eaten with your hands! I also love these pictures, some of my favs of yours!
I'm going to make these! The kids will love them and so will the big kids!
Awesome! Let me know how it goes Kathy!
Oh yeah! Now we're talking. If it's brownies I'm totally there! Looks amazing!
The brownies TOTALLY make it, Melanie!
did you basically just make a homemade klondike… but BETTER?!?! because you are officially my hero (sorry, dad). PINNED!
Wow I don't know how you have that much self-control with ice cream! I need to learn that!
Saw these on Instagram and just about DIED. OMG. Wow. Holy Cow. Any other emphatic word I can think of. Lol. LOVE.
Umm yes! Ice cream is such a weakness of mine and you basically went and made a homemade klondike bar but about ten thousand times better with the brownie layer in there … I could easily eat far far too many of these!
That brownie layer is totally key… I wasn't sure if was going to work but then after one bite, I was like Oooohhhhh heck yea!
Delicious idea! Handheld brownie sundae..with a "magic shell"…yum. My mouth is watering!!
Thanks so much Cindy! Hope you are having a great start to the week!
These look AMAZING! What a great idea. Way better than a plain ole ice cream sandwich.
Oh yea! Your husband's firemen would love these I'm sure 🙂 And I was super excited about the magic shell too! So easy to make and it works so well!
Oh yea! Your husband's firemen would totally love these! And I was super excited to learn about the magic shell also.. so easy to make and it comes out so well!
Wonderful idea to whip up a quick dessert like this. They look store bought! Wish I was coming to your Super Bowl party to taste one of these.
Haha come on over Helen! It's just a quick (okay, probably not so quick) plane ride away!
PS I'm so psyched that there's another dude in the food blogosphere! YAY!
Thanks so much Mike, and yes, I'm with you… it's so awesome to meet other dudes in the food blogsphere! We are few but we are mighty, haha!
This is such a brilliant idea! I love how it's no utensils required. Perfect game food! And your photos are gorgeous!
Thanks so much Allie… much appreciated!
Haha, speechless?! Wow! Thanks so much Tina!
Pretty much in love with the idea of a sundae brownie bar. Whats better than a brownie? A sundae inside!
Are you serious?? These bars are like to good to be true! I am loving the chocolate coating and the gooey inside. I can't wait to try this for the hubby!
Chris can't wait to make these!! Where can I purchase coconut oil? They look so good….
You'll love them Carol! I get mine at Trader Joe's, but I've seen it at most food stores around me. It's becoming pretty mainstream at this point.
great looking bars! dangerous, cus i can totally eat a bunch of them in one sitting!
Oh my, I'm SO sad I missed these for Sunday. Well, I know what I'm having at my Oscar party!
Hahaha, eh they are good anytime! For an Oscar party is would be totally cool to find some sort of gold dust or gold leaf to press into the magic shell. That would look sweet!
OMG Chris…these look so good! Klondike bars bring back such fun childhood memories and I just love this homemade version. I'll be featuring them tonight at Saturday Night Fever!
Thanks Cathy! So honored to be featured at your link party!

    ★★★☆☆

 Wanderley Caloni, July 31, 2017

Mais um filme feminista/SJW pela Netflix. Dessa vez nos anos 80, embora essa década já fosse libertadora para mulheres. É sobre elas entrando na luta livre, como os homens, e não apenas se exercitando na academia de ginástica, todas coloridas e com polainas. A série apresenta uma Alison Brie (Community) irreconhecível. Teoricamente ela paga peitinho (e bundinha) logo no piloto, mas se for ela mesmo, é frustrante como ela mirrou desde a série de comédia que a tornou particularmente desejada.

Sim, estou sendo um porco chauvinista, quase que de verdade, em meus comentários. Isso é para verificar se é possível atacar o conteúdo politicamente correto de GLOW sem perder a compostura. Convenhamos: não basta contar uma história não-convencional com a desculpa da diversidade. Continua sendo um engodo empurrar mais uma série de personagens bizarros, mas medíocres, inconsequentes, evitáveis. Prefira Girl Boss.

Unveiled: the 2020 Indoor Collection by Minotti
https://hoteldesigns.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/CONNERY-05.jpg 730 565 Hamish Kilburn Hamish Kilburn https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2edcad40930314dca244a6a9d0589916?s=96&d=mm&r=g 15.07.2020 15.07.2020
It may not be the unveiling that the Italian furniture brand had in mind, but the 2020 collection of indoor furniture pieces by Minotti reaffirms its identity and reputation in the luxury interior design arena. Editor Hamish Kilburn learns more…
Celebrating the arrival of a new collection by Minotti has become somewhat of an annual phenomenon at Hotel Designs.
The grand unveiling has traditionally taken place during Milan Design Week. This year, however, while the industry has been forced to adapt to social distancing guidelines following the outbreak of Covid-19, the brand has instead launched the 2020 collection virtually. And while the manner of which the pieces have been unveiled has been disrupted, the same cannot be said for the new line of furniture, which are all (in true Minotti style) characterised by the purity of their shapes and volumes, defined by rigorous geometries with an architectural appeal.
The 2020 Indoor Collection reflects a contemporary, modernist style and extends the identity of Minotti, connected to the same high-quality sartorial savoir-faire found in haute couture, used to craft a range of products that are increasingly exclusive. The new upholstered seating systems, seats and furnishing pieces are combined with a sophisticated tailoring thanks to the exquisite materials and the exclusive textile collection.
Each item evokes a silent elegance – Minotti needs not shout – with a strong international vocation in terms of style and design, though entirely Italian in its imprinting. This is the common thread in all the projects, designed by a strong team coordinated by Rodolfo Dordoni with the Minotti Studio.
With Rodolfo Dordoni, nendo, Marcio Kogan/studio mk27, Christophe Delcourt and GamFratesi, the 2020 Indoor Collection looks West, to the sophisticated Mid-Century atmospheres of California; East, to the formal minimalism of Japan; and North, to the striking rigour of Scandinavia, all filtered by Minotti's own well-defined sensitivity and personality. The Collection develops a language that embraces the know-how of the tradition related to the world of upholstery, with a high level of sartorial craftsmanship. It features sculptural complements and seating elements with a strong personality that look back to the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies, reinterpreting their spirit, and was created for use in interiors located at different latitudes, in Europe, the Americas and Asia.
Statement pieces of the 2020 Indoor Collection, coordinated by Rodolfo Dordoni with Minotti Studio, include:
Connery – Rodolfo Dordoni design
Image credit: Minotti
Contemporary, with a strong architectural appeal and pure lines reminiscent of the Mid-Century American spirit, the Connery seating system sports an exquisite aesthetic and design that instantly catch the eye.
The clever combination of fine materials and sophisticated details adds a hint of couture to its design. An extremely versatile seating system, in terms of both composition and combination of materials, Connery has a distinctive personality also expressed in the pairing of original square and round chaise-lounges.
Torii– nendo design
Airy, with constructive details linked to Japanese tradition, the Torii modular seats play with round edged volumes, thin profiles and the apparent formal simplicity of an extremely detailed design. The metal structure of the legs of the seats and tables is Nendo's nod to the image of the "torii", the entrance gate to Shinto shrines in Japan.
With an interlocking game, the horizontal elements are laid on the vertical supports, ensuring a sophisticated visual lightness that accommodates the padded volume, characterised by couture craftsmanship.
The Torii family includes sofas – with high or low backrest and a linear shape, rounded at the arms – inclined sofas with a combination of two different depths, armchairs and lounge and dining little armchairs, ottomans, coffee tables, and a slender, oval-shaped console table, ideal for placing anywhere in the living area.
Blazer – Rodolfo Dordoni design
A virtuous combination of its design appeal, visible in the rigorous geometry of its volumes, and the haute couture approach exemplified by its precise, meticulous sartorial craftsmanship, Blazer is one of the creations that best expresses the most authentic artisanal attitude of Minotti.
All the surfaces of the elements feature stitching, designing evenly-spaced bands on the covering of the base, cushions, armrests and backrest, and creating a quilting effect that identifies its look and instantly provides a sensation of comfort.
The system includes seats with a depth of 108 cm and chaise-longue elements with a depth of 143 cm – with high and low backrests and armrests.
The system is complemented by a series of cushions in different sizes and headrests, which can be freely positioned, decorating the seats and offering maximum comfort.
The wide range, comprising sofas with strong character as well as modular elements, allows for the creation of original configurations, freely customisable thanks to the extensive choice of elements and exclusive coverings available.
EDITOR'S PICK: Daiki – Marcio Kogan/studio mk27 design
Inspired by the Brazilian architect's many trips to Japan, the Daiki seats are born out of Marcio Kogan's deep passion for Japanese culture and are conceived as a real tribute to Japanese design.
The Daiki family includes armchairs with a deep seat, available both with and without armrests, and footstool. Created using sophisticated wood crafting techniques, the curved shell comprises two elements joined at a 45° angle, with a sloping backrest that guarantees maximum comfort. In palisander Santos or flamed ash veneer with Liquorice colour stain, the shell offers a snug fit for the cushions, and sits on a metal frame with legs in a Black-Nickel finish. In the version with leather upholstery, the cushions are quilted with stitching, while in the fabric version they only feature stitching.
Daiki offers a design that also explores and reinterprets the American Mid-Century atmospheres in its bold, clean lines, precious materials and balanced proportions.
Fynn Collection – GamFratesi design
Scandinavian values meet Italian tradition in Fynn, a project created by combining fine cabinet-making in the wooden elements and sophisticated upholstering with fabric or saddle-hide.
The signature element of the Fynn seats is the armrest, elongated and slightly curved, rounded and smooth to the touch, 100 per cent handmade. Its precise, well-defined line identifies the whole family of seats, in the two Fynn and Fynn Saddle-Hide versions. Covered with the exclusive fabrics and saddle-hides in the collection, it fully expresses the high level of the elegant sartorial process which has always been Minotti's distinguishing mark.
The family comprises armchairs, lounge and dining little armchairs, benches, footstools and coffee tables.
Mattia – Rodolfo Dordoni design
Mattia is inspired by the reinterpretation of a creative sign from the early Seventies, offering a modern take on a design from the Minotti archive.
The finely contoured shell accommodates the seat, opening up like a corolla to host the original roller feature of the backrest. Formal solutions reminiscent of sculptures and the balance between the rigid structure and the suspended volume give life to seats with a soft, enveloping look.
The family comprises a three-seater sofa, an armchair and swivel lounge armchair, available with leather shell and fabric upholstered seat and backrest, or with total fabric or leather covering.
Conceived as precious details to streamline and lighten the design, the steel feet jetting out from underneath sport a Black-Nickel finish. The swivel base of the lounge armchair is available in the same finish.
Liam – Rodolfo Dordoni design
With its clean lines, exquisite materials and sophisticated finishes, Liam adopts an architectural approach to design, expressed in its rational shapes.
The family of Liam coffee tables is characterised by the airy 1 cm square steel structure, which designs a lightweight volume, defined by a polished Pewter colour finish. It hosts a top in Calacatta marble, Grigio Orobico marble, Black pâte de verre glass or brushed oak with Moka colour lacquer finish. In some elements, it also accommodates a lower, wooden surface for holding books, magazines and objects, also in brushed oak with Moka colour lacquer finish. Liam comes in a range of different sizes, with a square or rectangular shape, which can be used together to design original configurations, also matching them with tops of different materials.
Flirt – Rodolfo Dordoni design
Designed as a jewel-sculpture, with its metallic glints, the Flirt coffee table adds a bright touch to interiors. The structure, made entirely from a sheet of polished stainless-steel, is bent to form two "C"s facing one another, offering two semi-circular tops on different levels. Like an artist's multiple, Flirt only comes in one size and is varnished in Black-Nickel or Gold. The screws that join the two C-shaped elements serve as decorative details, enhancing the metal sheet.
In conclusion, the new Indoor Collection was designed imagining those living in them, their gestures and daily routines, tactile sensations, exclusive materials, the effect of the light as it illuminates a wooden or marble surface, and the gleam of a metal detail. Sophisticated furnishings, like a tailored suit, made to fit the user's personality and taste, in line with Minotti's design tradition. The different cultural backgrounds of the designers merge and contribute to give shape and voice to the "Minotti project", which gathers the creative stimuli of the designers and is an exceptional example of contemporary style.

Washington proposed rule changes need your input
In Live Action Alerts, Washington by Jenny Weis November 29, 2017
We are approaching the end of an important comment period that will impact our fisheries in Washington for many years to come.
The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) is accepting public input on proposed rule changes for Washington State through THIS Thursday Nov. 30th and need to hear that overly-simplifying fishing regulations could harm fish and put future fisheries in jeopardy.
The premise of these rule changes is noble enough – to simplify the current freshwater regulations and establish statewide rules that apply to a greater number of water bodies. However, the challenge is that fisheries in Washington State are inherently complex because WDFW must manage and regulate many species, including both resident and anadromous life histories across a multitude of waterways and diverse landscapes. Applying a one size fits all approach to the state's myriad waterways and fish populations may make it easier for fisherman to understand or anticipate regulations, but they will not address the unique issues that each population faces and if there is one thing we know, it is that every watershed requires its own solution if we want to successfully manage the fish and the fisheries. For example, Washington is home to numerous populations of fish species listed as Threatened and Endangered, which require special rules and protection. This includes 5 of Washington's 7 Distinct Population Segments (DPS) of wild steelhead. Managing those fish and fisheries in the same way that we manage every other population does not make sense.
Please take a moment today to comment to WDFW and tell them to preserve regulations which protect our wild salmonids.
Washington is home to thousands of anglers with a diverse interests and opinions regarding quality fishing opportunity. This includes anglers who desire opportunities to both harvest fish and participate in quality catch and release for wild fish. Standardized regulations cannot provide the necessary opportunities to satisfy the state's diverse anglers. It is reasonable for the state to require that anglers be familiar with local regulations and review the rules pamphlet when traveling to new areas, which is what happens in every other state.
Of particular concern are the potential impacts to wild steelhead from these proposed changes.
Washington State's wild steelhead populations are currently a fraction of their former abundance. One of the likely contributors to the decline, and general lack of rebound, is reduced life history diversity. In many cases we have lost, or nearly lost, segments of wild steelhead populations such as early timed run components. This diversity is key to their abundance and resilience by enabling them to buffer poor and changing environmental conditions.
While not included in Endangered Species Act listings, rainbow trout are an important life history component of a healthy steelhead population. In fact, recent studies have found that rainbow trout can contribute significantly to returning adult steelhead numbers and genetics. The proposed rule changes do not give these wild rainbow trout adequate protection and would open many streams and liberalize both harvest of wild rainbow trout and the use of bait. This is problematic because rainbow trout can produce steelhead and often mate with wild steelhead, so removing rainbow trout is essentially removing potential mates for steelhead.
Below is a list of our primary concerns you may use to create your comments. We encourage you to review the proposed changes for your local region and fisheries to provide specific feedback to WDFW. Please submit your comments by Thursday Nov. 30th.
General Rules Freshwater – As written, this proposal would change the statewide standard of 'closed unless listed under special rules' to 'open unless listed as closed.' Changing this method would burden local biologists with the task of listing every closed waterway and will result in opening many overlooked small tributary streams used for spawning and rearing by trout, steelhead and salmon. While this may be appropriate in some areas it should not be used in streams with anadromous fish. Comment on this proposal here
Game Fish Possession Limits and Size Limits – Statewide rules would allow for harvest of 2 wild trout over 8" per day unless otherwise specified in special rules. The proposed changes would also separate trout and steelhead daily limits. When combined with the above proposal, this would liberalize harvest of wild trout in many steelhead and trout spawning tributaries unless specifically noted in special rules. Separating trout and steelhead limits would allow anglers to harvest two wild trout in addition to two hatchery steelhead, increasing the potential for retention of wild trout in watersheds where they contribute to steelhead abundance. Comment on this proposal here
Statewide Bait Rules – This proposal would eliminate the rule stating that all trout caught with bait contribute to the daily limit, and statewide rules currently allow fishing with bait unless noted under special rules. While this is a difficult rule to enforce, bait has a high mortality on small resident trout and steelhead and salmon parr/smolts. When coupled with opening tributaries for fishing and liberalizing harvest regulations, this will result in additional impacts to sensitive salmonid populations. Comment on this proposal here
Fr eshwater exceptions to statewide rules – Coast – Remember how hard we fought to eliminate bait, harvest of steelhead and wild trout, and for the use of barbless hooks during the bulk of the wild steelhead season for the North Coast? Well it is supposedly a "mistake" but the rule proposals as-written would reverse important changes to our last remaining high quality and popular wild steelhead fishery. These are the proposals:
Eliminate mandatory release of wild trout on the North and South Forks of the Calawah River.
Eliminate mandatory release of wild rainbow trout and bait restriction on the South Fork Hoh River.
Eliminate mandatory release of wild rainbow trout, barbless hook rule and bait restrictions for the Quinault River.
Eliminate mandatory release of wild rainbow trout, barbless hook rule and bait restriction for the Sol Duc River.
Comment on this proposal here.
Please take the time to submit your comments on these and other proposals to help protect our wild trout, steelhead and salmon fisheries.

This October, the streets of Key West, Florida, USA will once again light up with colourful costumes and upbeat music, as the island celebrates its annual Fantasy Fest.
Running for a whole ten days, the unique street party features a fantastic parade with numerous floats and amazing costumes, a competition culminating in the crowning of the 'Conch King and Queen' at a Coronation Ball, costume contests both for people and for pets and a street fair.
The event has been held annually since 1979, when two entrepeneurs organised a party to encourage business in the area. Today the Fantasy Fest is huge, and draws in crowds of over 100,000 people, which is more than three times the population of the island. It raises vast amounts of money for charity: in 2007, Conch King and Queen contestants raised over 200,000 dollars for Aids charities, and since 1989 the contests have raised almost 2.6 million dollars.
A fantastic destination, the festival is a chance for the whole family to have fun and let their hair down. It would be hard to find a street party as popular as this one anywhere else in the world! The weather at this time of year is hot and sunny, and the atmosphere is electric. This beautiful island is the perfect setting for the festival, with its breath-taking beaches and spectacular sunsets. While visiting Key West, guests will not be disappointed by the huge selection of restaurants, bars and entertainment on offer.

SATURDAY 9 MAY LORNE STATION
I got up about 8am. The somewhat warmer night and early morning was very welcome. The day turned into a lovely one of about 25 degrees.
Trakmasters all in a row – well, mostly
John slept late, as he had been playing computer games until the early hours. By the time he was up and going, it was too late for the promised opal lesson from T, who was busy cleaning the amenities.
After all breakfasted, we drove into town because John was expecting a parcel to be collected from the Post Office. Predictably, it was closed.
We looked in some of the several opal sales shops, including the largest and most tourist-geared one, that had a real assortment off all sorts of stuff: clothing, postcards, lots of the cheaper end souvenir items. The bulk of the opal items on display seemed to be the cheaper doublet and triplet ones (thin slivers of opal glued to potch) rather than solid opal.
Lightning Ridge is best known for its black opal, which isn't really black but dark, which makes the colour flashes of the opal much brighter. It looks very different to. say, Coober Pedy opal, which is a light colour.

We did see some lovely jewellery in some of the shops, but of course the nicest items were not cheap. Or maybe I just have costly tastes. There was also quite a bit of depressingly ugly stuff. Most shops seemed to have more opal from other parts of Australia, rather than here. I guessed that was because the Lightning Ridge black opal was the most expensive – and possibly less available?
John bought a book on cutting opal from raw stone into finished gems. We got the Saturday papers.
A visit to the Information Centre was in order. As well as the usual local information, postcards and the like, this was unusual in having, in the grounds, a heap of fossicking dirt that visitors could scratch through. It was replenished from local diggings – after it had been sorted by the miner for the best material. But it provided an easy opal "noodling" experience for tourists, and maybe there was always the hope that the donor had missed a good bit!
I bought a fridge magnet and a guide to the Car Door Tours. These self-drive tours were a special feature of The Ridge. There were four routes: red, green, blue, yellow. One navigated via old car doors painted the appropriate colours. The concept was quirky, typical of the ingenuity of such places, where old "stuff" is re-used as much as possible. It was also clever, in an area of opal diggings where tracks were un-named and went every which way.
John called in to the Bowls Club to get the details about tomorrow's event, purportedly. He was really hoping to sneak in a practice session today, but there looked to be proper games happening. Anyway, he found out it would be lunch at midday, followed by bowls and a cost of $15 each.
We drove back to camp for a late lunch.
Was rather wet, here, not that long ago….
Later in the afternoon we went for a walk, out into the Lorne scrub, following wheel tracks. Found a spot where there seemed to be a variety of birds – to be returned to another day, with the binoculars, which we hadn't taken today.
Seen on our walk – no longer in use?
When we'd checked in yesterday, the manageress had warned us to be very careful of the truly nasty Hudson Pear, which grew in spots about the property. It was a super-prickly cactus type plant; she said the spines would pierce shoes and even vehicle tyres. Yikes. Well, we saw some of the species on today's walk. I believed everything said about the spines – long and strong. An introduced feral pest, of course, not native. It was brought to the Lightning Ridge area as a garden plant and got away. Its nasty spines have made large areas of this part of NSW useless for grazing.
Hudson Pear
Up by the office there was a "speccing" heap – a pile of opal bearing local white dirt, put there for campers to dig through, looking for opal. Being the cynic from way back, I tended to doubt whether whoever donated it really thought there was much of value in there! Anyway, for form's sake, we went and did a bit of scrabbling around in it – finding nothing.
Had happy hour again by our fire ring. Took photos of the full moon rising over the trees. Very full and dramatic it was, too.
It was a great atmosphere, with us able to tell ourselves we were out in the bush, watching the moonrise.
We had steak, with green beans and mushrooms, for tea. John cooked the potatoes in the fire coals. They got to be rather on the well-done side!
Being Saturday, it was entertainment night at Lorne. Manager B had been setting up a sort of stage and sound system for it, this afternoon. It kicked off about 8pm. Seemed like it was singing and some dancing, maybe karaoke style? We did not need to go across to the entertainment area, as it could be heard all over the campground!
I wrote letters on postcard folders to the grandchildren. John computed until late, again.

When the owner came out after ten minutes, he found the deceased missing.
02. Christie Jhonson Basilraj (24 years) of 25, Mount Kamal Road,Gurunagar, Jaffna is missing from 28.01.1999. Last seen at 2 p.m. in Jaffna town on 28.01.1999.

05. As a result of a complaint made by one Kandiah Rasathurai to the Mandoor police on 01.01.1999 about his missing boat, the Mandoor Police on 10.01.1999 arrested Eliayathamby Narayanapillai(49 years) of Mandoor 03, Wellawelly from his house and kept him in cutody for two days and released him on 12.01.1999.
On 14.01.1999 at about 4.30 p.m. the owner of the boat took Eliyathamby Narayanapillai and Poopalapillai Thiagarajah (47 years) to the Mandoor police station for further inquiry. Since then they did not return home. The relatives of these two persons went to the police to inquire as to what had happened. Upon inquiry the Mandoor Police informed their relatives that both these persons had been released. According to the people of the vicinity of the Mandoor Police, they had heard cries from the police station. It is now feared that both persons had been tortured very badly. Please hold an inquiry into this complaint and inform us the fate of these two prisoners.
" Jaffna seem to experience the past terror period once again. This will lead to very serious break down both in social life and security unless measures are taken to eradicate this type of horrifying incidents" states the Secretary of the Forum for Human Dignity in her letter to the Anti-Harassment Committee which has been appointed by the government to inquire into the complaints of disappearances, deaths and harassments.

Peugeot's Electric Car Concepts Date Back to 1941, And They're Fascinatingly Weird
Do you like battery-powered three-wheelers? What about cars you can drive with a joystick?

Peugeot produced its first car in 1889, and today, the brand acts as the leader of the PSA Group, the French giant that recently merged with FCA to create an even bigger company called Stellantis. As you'd imagine from a brand with 131 years of experience in the automotive business, there's quite a lot of history to chew through and that includes multiple electric vehicles, which we'll take a look at below.
First, the new stuff Europe got. Peugeot's latest is a crossover called the e-2008. It's available with gasoline and diesel powertrains as well, but the electric version is powered by a 50-kilowatt-hour battery and a 134-horsepower electric motor, for a range of 206 miles under WLTP testing. Back in 1941, Peugeot's EV offering was a lot more humble.
2020 e-2008., Peugeot
Dealing with a German occupation and fuel shortages, Peugeot came up with what it called "Véhicule Léger de Ville" for Light City Vehicle. It was a cutesy micro cabriolet with two seats and an electric drivetrain. From a taxation standpoint, it was valued as a fancy cyclecar, with a wide track at the front and a narrow track at the rear. With the batteries stored in the front, the VLV was mostly used by postal workers, who could cover no more than 50 miles at speeds up to 21 miles per hour. Between 1941 and '43, Peugeot built 377 units at its La Garenne factory near Paris.
Over half a century later, electric cars started to make sense once again. After experimenting with a 205 EV, Peugeot went on to sell an electric version of its J5 van to local businesses and the government, and began developing an EV variant of its popular 106 hatchback under a partnership with French energy company EDF. In 1995, 25 106 Electrics were sent out as trial vehicles before Peugeot began mass production. As a result of this work, the company ended up building 3,542 electric cars by 2003.
For the 1994 Paris Motor Show, Peugeot also took a peek into the future with its innovative urban concept, the Ion.
Wide doors, four seats, and an interior with such features as a CD player, hands-free telephone, an LCD screen and storage for children's video games. This predecessor of a current electric Smart was powered by a 27-horsepower electric motor kept at speed by nickel-cadmium batteries.
After the Ion, 1996's Tulip wasn't revolutionary. Yet it introduced the idea of car-sharing with an even smaller footprint, which is a business model enjoyed by millions today.
From this point going forward, nobody could stop Peugeot from taking a joyride down study avenue.
A hybrid for the sand dunes with four-wheel-drive? 1996's Touareg combined nickel-cadmium batteries located behind the front seats with a single-cylinder range-extender good for 186 miles using just four gallons of fuel. In short, it's a wild yet capable two-seater that we have a whole lot more info on here.
1996's Peugeot Touareg, Peugeot
For our one and only century leap year, Peugeot produced a pair of EV concepts next to two more conventional ones created by Gérard Welter's teams under the themes of "the year 2000" and "urban mobility." The four were collectively known as the "City Toyz," and the electric e-doll would certainly live up to that. It could be steered with a handlebar like your favorite scooter. Also, pool balls.
Really, though, who cared about the e-doll at the Paris show in 2000, when next to it was the excellent and equally electric Bobslid, controlled by a joystick?!
This with a modern EV powertrain and less-lethal steering system, and we're in business:
2000's Peugeot Bobsled, Peugeot
I could continue with 2009's Peugeot BB1, which was a tiny EV concept along the lines of a futuristic Toyota IQ. But I choose not to, since in 2010, the French introduced the EX1 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of their brand. This was a two-seat roadster built on existing architecture, accelerating to 60 mph in 2.24 seconds and reaching its top speed of 161 mph in just 5.1 seconds. Peugeot says its performance is the result of its "sharp aerodynamics, ultra-light structure and two electric motors, which give it its maximum cumulative power of 250 kW (340 hp) delivered through its four-wheel-drive system."
This carbon fiber wonder EV, the Peugeot EX1 concept, broke six FIA world records. So naturally, a decade later, the company went with the flow and put an electric SUV into series production. With that in mind, please enjoy the EX1's record lap around the Nürburgring:

Oreo has added his two cents to the unification sensation sweeping the nation, providing us with the following observation.
Ironically, the four-year history of the limited liability corporation Kalkhoven and Forsythe set up to manage the Champ Car series may end in the same place it was started: federal bankruptcy court. Insiders said they believe Champ Car is considering an emergency liquidation in an effort to pave the way for the IRL to take over as the sole sanctioning body in American open-wheel racing.
After further investigation involving many unnamed "insiders", My Name Is IRL can now confirm that this is indeed the case. In fact, a hastily assembled video providing for this liquidation of the remaining CCWS assets has been produced to be shown on QVC in a one-hour, tape-delayed broadcast in the very near future. Here is a partial transcript.
RB: Hi folks, Rick Benjamin here along with Jon Beekhuis, welcoming you to the very special Champ Car Unification Liquidation Auction.
JB: Rick it's great to be here amid some great Champ Car memories. All proceeds from the sales today will be going to some incredible charities, and with any luck will be able to scrape together some money for ourselves.
RB: Let's start off the show with something special, Jon. It's a collection of photo submissions from aspiring Grid Girls from around the world. All I can say is Wow!
JB: Submissions, indeed Rick. We don't have a lot of time so let's point out this stack of unpaid invoices, all featuring the genuine Champ Car logo. Take some of the babies home and frame them for posterity, or if you like you can actually try to collect on them. Hey, who doesn't enjoy a good scavenger hunt, right?
RB: Of course! Right next to the paperwork is Paul Tracy's famous "Nacho Libre" costume. Come on folks, Halloween is just around the corner, and what would be spookier than racing wrestler, or a wrestlin' racer, or…well, how about maybe just bidding on this pair of glasses left behind by Sebastien Bourdais?
JB: Hey look, here's an autographed VHS tape of everyone's favorite racing movie - "Driven"!
RB: Autographed by whom, Jon?
JB: Looks like none other than Chip Ganassi! There's a blast from the past.
RB: Well, it's all gotta go, including this beautiful bottle containing, what's this say? "Newman's Own Bitterness". Folks remember, all proceeds go to charity.
JB: Check out this bucket here. It contains every single remnant from Katherine Legge's Wild Ride at Road America in 2006, save Ms Legge herself of course. And speaking of Road America, over here's a deer head. What is that, an 8-point?
RB: I have no idea. Now look over here, friends. Here's a personally autographed picture by Mrs Doubtfire herself, Mr Robin Williams...oh, wait. This says "Kevin Kalkhoven". Nevermind.
JB: Now if we look in this closet here friends we can see that this auction will include every single racing uniform ever worn by Oriol Servia. We've got Dale Coyne Racing, Newman Haas, Patrick Racing, PKV, Walker, Conquest, Forsythe, PPI…wow, you could form your own series with this Spaniard's wardrobe!
RB: And for the ladies, here's some locks of Nelson Phillipe's hair. Not sure how that ended up here.
JB: Rick, how about this life-size cutout of Michelle Beisner? Hang on – it IS Michele Beisner! Michelle, what are you doing here?
MB: Just helping the cause boys! I'm here to present the feature item.
RB: Hey – is it Robin Miller's hard card? Oh, what race fan wouldn't want to hang that on the old Christmas Tree this year?
MB: That's certainly a worthy item, but here's something you don't see everyday – a fully completed DP01! This is the actual prototype folks, not the low-rent, low-budget version that was actually used in Champ Car races. No sir, this right here is a thing of American-made beauty. Auto show only folks, you wouldn't want to actually drive the thing – you know what I'm saying?
RB: Friends, we've got all sorts of memorobilia from four unbelievable years of Champ Car racing. Hundreds of DP01 nose cones, thousands of hero cards from anonymous drivers, a huge stack of "Arizona Grand Prix" merchandise - you name your price and it's yours.
JB: You can even have my own personal copy of Derek Daly's Great Big Book of Irish Colloquialisms!
RB: Hold on to your Hollyhocks, because it's all got to go in the name of "unification" and bidding for every item starts at just a buck. Proceeds benefit the Champ Car Wayward Debtor's Foundation, as well as the Ronald McDonald House. Because unification isn't just a buzzword – it's for the kids.
Wow. Every now and then, I'm reminded just how far open-wheel racing has fallen in the last decade. Ouch.
So the Pressdog/My Name Is IRL merger WAS true and Jeff is now doing highly believable satire pieces! I knew this day would come.
Derek Daly's Great Big Book of Irish Colloquialisms!
Well well well, hold on to yer' hollyhocks folks! Jeff is in the whiskey again! He's getting DANGEROUSLY squirrelly!
As an aside, I think Bob Varsha and Derek Daly would be a great announcer combo for a merged IndyCar series. They could keep Scott Goodyear to fill the role Bobby Unser had back in the day.
Varsha can't take the pay cut he'd get hit with if he left SPEED. He does well there, as he should.
Is it possible to get an author autographed copy of the following books via this QVC auction?
My wife likes to cook, so is there a copy of Eating Crow: Our 100 Favorite Down Home Recipes for a Bitter Bird By Gordon Kirby, David Phillips, and John Oreovicz?
They could keep Scott Goodyear to fill the role Bobby Unser had back in the day.
Not really sure where this fits, so I'll put it here and see what happens. Like all of you, I've been looking for the answers from all the usual sources and read through Cavin's blog. Did anyone else catch this answer to the question about G. Rahal?
"Graham will continue to drive for Newman Haas Lanigan if it continues to race open-wheel cars. As for NHL being at a disadvantage, I'm not sure that's the case. The team has won four consecutive Champ Car titles because it's a strong team, and it will soon challenge for the top spots in the IRL, if it chooses to compete."
Is he holding something back on NHL? Seems like a lot of "ifs" in the statement. Surely they would continue in open-wheel, right? Just curious on the thoughts.
Refresing indeed, but the "if it continues to race open-wheel cars" is what concerns me. Just needing a "fixx" on a sloooooooooow day and probably grasping at straws.
So, it looks like nothing tangible on Wednesday. My bad. Maybe they're just busy making each other Valentines? Maybe? Argh.
Question: Someone's comment (possibly on Furious wedge, or one of the others) suggested checking out champcarfanatics.com to see how the other side feels about all this. So I did. Someone please tell me. Do they live on a different planet, or am I just oblivious and naive? There are claims that Ganassi and Penske are going to abandon AOWR and pursue the "N" word full-time, and AGR is going to abandon for sports cars. None of this makes sense, but it gave me doubts. Roger and Chip are always at the IRL races, rather than the boat races. However, I'm concerned that after the rollout of the new TEAM program, Panther is dropping from a two car operation to a one car operation. Vision from 3 to 1 (although that is TG's team). That's the opposite of what the TEAM program was supposed to do. Could some of these teams be waiting for a potential merger, to see if any new drivers come over and bring sponsors with them? Sorry guys, my mind's been running crazy all day since I read that Champ Car crap.
Do they live on a different planet, or am I just oblivious and naive?
You're not oblivious, it's a COMPLETELY different planet, with an atmosphere of pure HATRED. Now that the house o' cards that CCWS was is tumbling down, they are turning their rhetorical guns on anything and everything that moves. Think about how a rabid pit bull would react to being repeatedly poked by a sharp stick. That's the mindset over there after weeks and months of bad news.
Sorry guys, my mind's been running crazy all day since I read that Champ Car crap.
John, that's why you should stay here. It's safer, and friendlier!
Thanks for the reassurance mmack. At least I don't have to worry about any races getting canceled, or not even being run. My 500 tickets should be arriving shortly, and I'm getting ready purchase my Kentucky tickets. I've also went to the Chicago race the last couple years, and was thinking of adding a 4th. Anyone here been to Nashville or Mid-Ohio? I was thinking Nashville. Any opinions?
Haha, not to self promote here, but I have a humorous blog entry that people seemed to dig on Nashville here.
Long story short, it's a sh*thole. Plus many IRL insiders are saying there may not be a contract in place for it in 2008 and it likely won't run. Look elsewhere.
John, go to Mid-Ohio. Gorgeous track and great spectating. Even if you don't like roadracing, it's worth going. It's an ALMS weekend, too. I'm definitely going this year.
I've been working on completing my ChampCar vs. IRL trading card set and am willing to offer anyone and everyone out there 13 Jan Heylan rookie cards for an Ed CarpenterGeorge and a Scott Sharp update traded series card.
Thank you, Will Power - Thank you, Will Power. Thank you. You inspired me out of retirement (temporarily).

The textile sector in India is like that huge billboard at the signal you just cannot ignore. It not only provides for one of the most basic physiological needs of the people in the country, but is also responsible for enormous economic development. According to the Government of India's website -it is one of the most capital and labour intensive industry that contributes four per cent to the country's GDP and 13.5 per cent to the annual export earnings; it is the second largest employer after the agricultural sector, employing 35 million people directly. This, further supported by India's rich and varied heritage of textiles, makes a career in textile design an exciting proposition.
Textile Design forms the core of the whole business of fashion. The rapidly expanding activities in the export and domestic sectors of the Indian apparel and home fashion industry demands professional inputs in design and development of textiles and raw material, which is responsible for 60-80% of the cost of the product. Textile design today is that strategic value adding activity that can make all the difference in transforming a fashion business into an economically viable and profitable proposition.
The Textile Design specialisation offered by Department of Fashion & Textiles equips students with broad-spectrum education in textiles while developing creativity, originality and design application in apparel and home fashion industries.
Any material or surface comprising fibers made by weaving, knitting, crocheting or pressing together fibers (felting) is called a textile. Different textiles can be created by altering any of these techniques or creating a new technique altogether. We change the surface of a textile by dyeing, printing, texturing or embroidering. A good course in textile design should mainly equip you with an understanding of all these areas so as to create a textile and also manipulate these techniques to create completely new textiles altogether.
The programme prepares students for a wide range of careers in textile mills and export houses, with fashion designers, design studios, mills, buying houses, handloom cooperatives and buying agencies as Design or Fabric Managers, or work independently as Designers or Entrepreneurs.
Arvind Mills, Indian Terrain, Grasim Industries Ltd., Madura Brands, Mafatlal Industries Ltd., Nahar Industries, Shingora International, Ambadi Enterprises, Crew BOS, Himmatsingka Seide, Abhishek Industries, Welspun India, Shades of India, Linenscapes (India) Ltd., Textrade International Pvt. Ltd., Mura Collective, Portico, Creative Mobus Fabrics, Rateria Exports, Mahajan Overseas, Triburg, Bharat Silks, Third World Exports, The Shop, etc.
Today, a host of degrees as well as diplomas are offered at the graduate and postgraduate level to equip you with these skills. However, an inclination towards design with a willingness to always be surrounded by loads of fabric is mandatory to make your mark in this industry.
Remuneration in the field ranges from the level you Vadodra,enter. For example if you want to start off in the fashion industry, working with a designer would call for an unpaid internship or assisting at a basic stipend. However, joining the industry as a fresher could pay you around 15-20 thousand per month up to even 30 thousand per month for students of prestigious institutes.

According to the Government of India's website –www.india.gov.in – it is one of the most capital and labour intensive industry that contributes four per cent to the country's GDP and 13.5 per cent to the annual export earnings; it is the second largest employer after the agricultural sector, employing 35 million people directly. This, further supported by India's rich and varied heritage of textiles, makes a career in textile design an exciting proposition.

Hockey: Wall downs Middletown South, earns 1st state final berth
Chris Rotolo
@rote7123
WEST ORANGE - Wall Township continues to add chapters to its history book.
On Wednesday evening at Richard J. Codey Arena, it was a Shore Conference showdown in the NJSIAA Public B Semifinals, as the 10th-seeded Crimson Knights squared off with third-seeded Middletown South and skated to a 7-3 decision over the Eagles, securing its first trip to a state final in the program's 16-year history.
"This is just amazing and it's not for me. It's for the 25 guys on this team. It's for the 16 years of kids we've had in this organization," said Wall coach Mike Dianora, who has been at the helm of the Knights program since its inception.
"We've had some great guys over the years, guys who were just out there to have fun, and that's what it's all about. It's about all those kids, all the assistant coaches we've had along the way. This group of guys did it, they got us to our first final, but we're all one. We're all one in 16 years."
It was a Wall (18-6-2) victory spurred by the performance of Shane Haviland, as the winger notched four goals against the Eagles (19-5-1) and assisted on two more in the win.
"It's a tremendous feeling and real honor to be able to come through for the team like this. I can't really put it into words right now, I'm just so happy to be able to do it with these guys," said Haviland, who now has 55 points on the year, and is second in Wall scoring. "We just don't really want this to end. We love each other, and we just want to keep this going."
Middletown South delivered the first blow in this Public B bout, as Eagles captain Gavin Gulash – who was sidelined the last two games with a lingering upper body injury – delivered his 16th of the season on a one-timer from the slot that was set up by Ryan Lambert at 12:10 of the opening period.
But Haviland countered with his first of the night just 29 seconds later, cleaning up a rebound in front off a Zach Tarantino shot from the left circle. Then Tarantino provided the Knights their first lead of the game with under a minute remaining in the opening frame, when he gained the offensive zone, carried through the right circle and put it through the short-side pads of Clay Simonsen – who made 15 saves in the game – for a 2-1 advantage.
Haviland beat Simonsen on a wrap-around at 4:26 of the second period, but the Eagles cut the deficit to one goal when D.J. McKay delivered his third of the year at the 8:25 mark.
Wall victimized the Eagles once again in the final minute of a period, as Tarantino sent the Knights into the second intermission with a 4-2 lead on his 11th, which came with 21 seconds to play in the middle frame.
"We knew (Middletown South) didn't have their best game the first time we played them this year," said Tarantino, referencing Wall's 5-2 regular season triumph over the Eagles on Jan. 25. "So we wanted to come out strong and keep the pressure on throughout the game. We knew they were going to come out better than they did the first time around, but I think we matched their intensity and took our game to another level as well."
The Knights struck first in the third as junior centerman Larry Hooper lit the lamp 19 seconds into the period, when he gained the zone and rifled a wrist shot from the high slot to the back of the twine for his 14th of the year.
"We went into the locker room up by two, and a two goal lead is the worst lead to have in hockey, so we wanted to get another and solidify our lead," Hooper said. "Thankfully we did. We buried down on them on the first shift and got it done, and it was a big goal at a big point in the game."
The goal was integral for the Knights, not just because it chased Simonsen from the crease in favor of fellow sophomore keeper Adam Bloodgood – who stopped 10 of 11 shots faced in the final 14 minutes of play – but because the Eagles answered almost immediately, when Gulash put his second of the night past Wall netminder Logan Beattie – who was stellar with 34 saves – only 40 seconds later.
Haviland's hat trick tally came with 1:57 remaining in regulation, and the senior slid his team-leading 36th goal of the year into an empty net to leave no doubt in the Knights 7-3 victory.
"That's just Shane Haviland, and there's not much else to say," Dianora said of his senior standout. "Last game it was Logan Beattie, this game it was Shane. That's the kind of guys they are. When you're a big time player you step up. You put the team on your back and you step up."
With the win, Wall is set to meet top-seeded Glen Rock in the NJSIAA Public B Finals on Monday. The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. at Mennen Arena in Morristown.
