A few days ago I shared some cards that were for the Black and Anything Goes challenge over at Off The Rails Scrapbooking. The cards I made were black and featured bright colourful backgrounds.
Here is a reminder of the cards I made.
Today I thought I would share how I made these backgrounds.
I started with a blank piece of whisper white card stock and several mist tubes filled with ink and rubbing alcohol.
All I did was spritz the card stock all over with the misters. It was as simple as that.
You get such a different look each and every time you use this technique.
Once the card stock was dry, I cut it up and mounted them all onto basic black cards.
I then used lots of different stamps and framelits to make them all look different.
As you can see that one piece of A4 card stock made lots of card front pieces. Here are the rest of the cards I made.
I hope you have enjoyed learning this technique.

Man injured in fuel tanker fire near Belgrade Suffered burns to his hands and face Check out this story on greatfallstribune.com: http://gftrib.com/1B0f5Cp

BELGRADE (AP) – Authorities say the driver of a 5,500-gallon fuel tanker suffered burns to his hands and face after his vehicle and an above-ground tank caught fire west of Belgrade.
Art Castricone, the Central Valley Fire District's marshal, says firefighters were called to the Central Park area at about 5:15 p.m. Monday on a report of a large grass fire. Two dozen people who live within a half-mile radius of the fire were evacuated.
The 55-year-old driver, whose name hasn't been released, was transferring fuel from the vehicle to the tank at the time. He suffered first- and second-degree burns and is being treated at a Bozeman hospital.
Pressure release valves prevented an explosion, and the fire was controlled about an hour and half after it was reported.
The driver works for Story Distributing Co. in Bozeman.

DFC Intelligence Forecasts Consumer Video Game Spending to Reach $250 Billion in 2023
Jul 10, 2019 | Entertainment
Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Project Scarlett Are Major Growth Drivers
SAN DIEGO, CA, July 10, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ — Video Game Industry analyst firm DFC Intelligence has issued its latest forecasts for the video game market that increases its overall outlook for the market. This increase is driven by new console systems and a growing mobile game market.
DFC Intelligence estimates that the video game software market is expected to grow from $118 billion in 2018 to about $164 billion in 2023. This rapid growth is driven by mobile games and emerging markets, but also by a growing number of high-end gamers looking for powerful game systems.
The new DFC forecasts also look at consumer spending on high-end video game hardware. Spending on dedicated game console systems and PC game hardware is expected to reach over $80 billion by 2023. At nearly $250 billion a year, spending on video games is expected to be the largest global entertainment category in 2023, based on consumer spending.
Overall, DFC forecasts are more bullish on the Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Project Scarlett, expected to release in late 2020. "It now appears that competition from companies like Google, Apple and Amazon is not going to be a major factor," said DFC Intelligence analyst David Cole. "Sony and Microsoft are still strong with high-end gamers and competition from game streaming services will be limited."
Cole also notes that there is very little overlap between the mobile game markets and high-end console and PC games. "Mobile games thrive because they reach the masses, but for more dedicated game consumers they are really a secondary platform."

The forecasts are available in multiple formats that include pdf reports, Excel spreadsheets, and online access. Clients can purchase forecasts on a one-off or on an ongoing basis.

IRVINE Grand Merlot, Eden Valley 2009
James Irvine is the Australian winemaker most strongly associated with Merlot, and his Grand Merlot, first made in 1984, is widely considered the country's leading example. Over the years it has won a number of awards in Europe, often in competition with the best of St-Emilion and Pomerol. Winemaker Joanne Irvine focuses on getting Eden Valley fruit fully ripe while keeping yields low. The wine is matured for 12-24 months in French (Allier) oak, valued for its spiciness. Typically, plum and cherry aromas lead into a deep, complex, red-fruited palate (especially raspberry), with leather and tobacco notes, firm but fine, velvety tannins and spicy savouriness. The wine generally benefits from decanting up to four hours before serving.
Style: Merlot
Region: Eden Valley
Code: IGM
Varietal: Merlot
Product review Robert Parker
'…flamboyant, exotic, and kinky, with copious quantities of super-rich black cherry fruit infused with toasty new oak, and loads of lavishly rich coffee, espresso, and chocolatey notes.'
Robert Parker and Double Gold, China Wine & Spirits Awards
Region Eden Valley
The Eden Valley is a cool and elevated sub-region of the Barossa situated in the Barossa Range to the east, overlooking the Barossa Valley. Low water availabilty, high altitude and strong winds make site selection in the region very important . The vineyeard soils are derived from schistic and sedimentary rock and are comprised mostly of red clay and sandy, silty loams interspersed with schistic gravels. The Eden Valley is renowned for its floral talc scented Rieslings and vibrant fruit pure Shiraz. Cool climate Chardonnay also performs well as does Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Winery IRVINE
Langton's Selections Irvine Grand Merlot Irvine sources its fruit entirely from its Springhill Vineyard elevated at 390-430 metres in the Eden Valley, a sub-region of the Barossa geographical indication. The vineyard is close planted on about 24 acres of grey-brown podzolic soils over gravel. The vines are increasingly being trellised on a Smart Dyson system. Irvine was established by winemaking consultant and all-rounder James Irvine. His generosity of spirit is well known in the wine industry. While his name is not famous, he has mentored some of the finest winemakers in South Australia.

It even makes a sparkling Merlot, a variation on the classic Australian sparkling Shiraz style made famous by Hans Irvine, a distant relative and founder of Great Western Cellars in Victoria. Winemaking veteran and daughter Joanne Irvine is now responsible for most winemaking. In 2006 she was named red winemaker of the year at the International Wine Challenge in the UK. In the world of Australian wine, Irvine Grand Merlot remains something of an aberration. The name derives from Jim Irvine's grand introduction to Merlot – a glass of Chateau Petrus. The Grand Merlot is a style in evolution. However, don't ever expect an elegant, minerally style. The wine is matured in a combination of new and used Allier oak for a period of around 3 years. This wine is massive, with plenty of fruit, oak and tannin. Jim Irvine explains that oak plays a supporting role to extremely dense, concentrated fruit. These multi-layered plushly concentrated wines with dense tannin structure are very much an experience. They straddle the traditional maturation and contemporary style giving freshness, complexity and volume. Jim Irvine recommends that these wines be decanted at least three hours prior to drinking. Irvine produces a number of variations on the Merlot theme including The Baroness a multi-vineyard Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Blend. A Reserve Zinfandel has also achieved some notable success in the fine wine arena. Andrew Caillard MW, Langton's

GameSquare Esports Inc. a Canadian gaming and esports company, is pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in Reciprocity Corp. a privately held gaming and esports company. Under the terms of the LOI, GameSquare Esports will issue 43,750,000 common shares of GameSquare to the shareholders of Reciprocity. Under the terms of the LOI, Reciprocity …
Not for distribution to U.S. news wire services or for dissemination in the United States
GameSquare Esports Inc. (CSE: GSQ; FRA: 29Q1) (" GameSquare " or the " Company "), a Canadian gaming and esports company, is pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter of Intent (" LOI ") to acquire (the " Acquisition" ) 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in Reciprocity Corp. (" Reciprocity "), a privately held gaming and esports company. Under the terms of the LOI, GameSquare Esports will issue 43,750,000 common shares of GameSquare to the shareholders of Reciprocity. Under the terms of the LOI, Reciprocity shareholders will receive 10 million additional GameSquare common shares if the Reciprocity business generates a minimum of US$5 million of revenue and US$1 million of EBITDA within 12 months of closing and an additional 10 million GameSquare common shares if the Reciprocity business generates a minimum of US$7 million of revenue and US$1.4 million of EBITDA within 12 months of closing. The Acquisition remains subject to, among other things, the parties entering into a definitive agreement, applicable shareholder and regulatory approvals. The combination of GameSquare and Reciprocity is expected to significantly increase the revenue profile of the combined entity and to result in a company that generates positive EBITDA in the twelve months following the close of the transaction.
"The acquisition of Reciprocity is another step toward building Canada's leading esports company," said Kevin Wright, CEO of GameSquare. "The team at Reciprocity has built a great organization that I believe will change the way the market looks at esports investing. Reciprocity and its wholly owned subsidiary GCN, Inc. ("GCN") are led by industry veterans that understand the convergence of media, entertainment, sports and finance as shown by the top tier clients that GCN works with, while committing to growing an EBITDA positive business. I have high expectations of the leadership at Reciprocity and believe this will prove to be a transformative moment for GameSquare. We also believe the acquisition shows there is tremendous opportunity to acquire other companies serving the esports market that can benefit greatly as part of the GameSquare group of companies."
"The acquisition by GameSquare is the start of another exciting chapter for Reciprocity," added David Fawcett, CEO of Reciprocity. "We have identified a highly scalable vertical within esports and I believe that bridging the gap between brands, gamers and esports is the path to high revenue growth, EBITDA and the creation of tremendous shareholder value. We work with top tier global brands and see fantastic synergies between our North American operations and GameSquare's presence in the UK and EU through Code Red Esports. The opportunity to become part of the GameSquare group of companies is anticipated to accelerate our revenue growth and help us to realize our long-term vision of building a significant gaming and esports digital media company."
Reciprocity is a leading Canadian gaming and esports company; its main asset, wholly owned subsidiary GCN, bridges the gap between leading global brands and the gaming and esports community by developing and distributing world-class marketing activations. Additionally, Reciprocity owns 49% of a CrossFire franchise in China with its partner LGD Gaming and 40% of a League of Legends team in LATAM, Rainbow 7; both teams won their respective championships in 2020. GameSquare continues to build its pipeline of potential acquisitions to accelerate growth and scale with a focus on companies with a proven track record of high growth and profitability.
The Acquisition rationale includes:
High revenue growth profile. Code Red and Reciprocity have shown strong revenue growth as esports engagement and viewership has increased. Based on current performance and its strong sales pipeline, Reciprocity management expects to receive the full Earn out payment.
Access to the largest esports market. GCN is headquartered in Los Angeles providing access to the highly lucrative US market. Reciprocity and GCN have built relationships with household brands and Fortune 500 companies. Entry to the US market represents a positive milestone for GameSquare.
Revenue synergies through cross selling. Following the proposed transaction, GameSquare will strengthen relationships with global brands through its subsidiaries based in the US and UK. It is expected that Code Red and GCN will benefit from cross selling opportunities across the network. Customer overlap between the two companies is estimated at less than 5%, presenting a significant opportunity for synergistic revenue growth.
Experienced management and alignment with shareholders. Reciprocity has a strong leadership team throughout its organization. GCN is led by experienced professionals with senior management experience at leading companies including Time Inc, Red Bull, Amazon / Twitch, Fox Sports, UFC, and Learfield Sports. Following the transaction, Reciprocity shareholders will be well aligned with ownership of approximately 40% on a fully diluted shares on a pro-forma basis. Management of Reciprocity, through the Earnout provision and compensation based upon financial performance, will be aligned with shareholders of GameSquare Esports.
In addition, GameSquare announces the grant of a total of 2,000,000 stock options to various directors, officers, and consultants of the Company. The options vest immediately, have an exercise price of $0.48 and expire five years from the date of grant. The grant of options remains subject to approval by the Canadian Securities Exchange.

Madison County hires lobbyist Barbara...
Madison County hires lobbyist Barbara Blackmon
By: Magnolia Tribune - July 23, 2009
A second county lobbyist was hired by the Board of Supervisors on Monday at $75,000 annually pending review of the contract by the county attorney.
Supervisors voted 4-1 to hire former state Sen. and Canton attorney Barbara Blackmon as a second lobbyist with the cost to be shared by the Madison County Economic Development Authority (MCEDA).
The hire was not on the agenda, but District 2 Supervisor Tim Johnson made the motion under "new business," drawing objections from District 3 Supervisor D.I. Smith who said this was the first he had heard of it.
Following the the vote, County Attorney Eric Hamer said he needed to review the contract before Blackmon was officially hired, requiring the board to rescind their original vote and approve a new motion pending Hamer's approval.
Smith said he voted against hiring a second lobbyist because no details were provided beforehand. He also questioned the need for an additional lobbyist in the county.
"I think its a breach of responsibility to vote for something that you have never seen a contract or agenda for," Smith said. "That is something that should have been presented to all members of the board. There were no performance measures, goals or termination clause included."

Description from the architects. As technical partner of an Italian NGO operating in Africa since 15 years, in 2005 FAREstudio designed and supervised all the project and construction phases of a community health centre where local women's rights are promoted and fostered in terms of sexual and reproductive wellbeing.
The CBF [Centre pour le Bien-être des Femmes] Women's Health Centre in Burkina Faso was created by AIDOS, an Italian NGO fighting for Women's Rights in Developing Countries. The AIDOS project is just one of the group's international programs focused on contrasting the diffusion of Female Genital Mutilation/Excision [FGM].
The social/health-services program developed by AIDOS, together with its local partners, focuses on providing educational services, information and awareness about women's sexual and reproductive rights in Ouagadougou's Sector 27, a peripheral urban area settled by a once rural population. The architectural project is a direct response to a social program that called for the realization of a building complex capable of hosting a variety of activities in very harsh circumstances.
The project has been developed into two separate buildings from a very simple and adaptable scheme: a flat raised platform, aimed at keeping ground level's dirt apart, is protected by a sort of huge umbrella that shields from direct sunshine without interfering with wind and ventilation. In between, isolated from dust and mud and in the shade of the upper velarium, small separate volumes made of locally made compressed earth bricks are freely disposed on the platforms like colored boxes separated by ventilated open corridors.
Is a complex with an effective passive climatic control and flexible spaces with various degrees of privacy; a functional building efficiently corresponding to its purpose, a friendly, playful appearance which welcomes customers and patients, and green exterior areas conceived as a public space for small events open to the whole community.
Pro bono design and a private donor: the essential, contradictory pre-conditions for the architect's ability to contribute to a successful initiative?
Typological innovation against local construction 'standards': habits are difficult to change.
Environmental control strategies actively transformed into architectural form.
The introduction of new technologies: collision with local building context and skills.
The design is based on the separation of the primary activities performed by the CBF into two distinct, though closely related, buildings: a Training Centre, dedicated to management and awareness-rising activities, and a Consultancy Centre, where medical visits, legal assistance and psychological counselling are provided to the community almost free of charge.
The volumes that contain the different rooms are independent from the umbrella roof structure, placed atop the platform and freely articulated around a series of shaded and ventilated patios that ensure privacy from the exterior.
The modular configuration of the structure allows future expansion while preserving the general framework of the building.
The building walls are constructed using BTC [briques en terre comprimée], clay bricks made on site using a rough mixture of earth, sand and water stabilised with cement and compressed with an hydraulic press. The making of these sun-baked bricks consumed no additional energy [transportation and/or cooking], limiting the environmental impact of the entire intervention.
The outside wall, are finished in brightly painted plaster. The local NGO's slogan, translated into 5 languages, completes the decoration of the walls, turning the entire building into a large canvas that broadcasts the structure's social objectives in an informal manner.
Completed in 18 months by a local builder, working under the direct supervision of FAREstudio, the CBF is a functional and cost-effective answer to the needs expressed by AIDOS, while simultaneously and primarily representing a center of aggregation and identity for the entire local community. The technological and typological responses offered by the project, on par with its social objectives, represent an innovative approach to traditional local building practices, presented as the natural formal expression of the changes and new approaches promoted by AIDOS.
The buildings are protected against rainfall and, above all, direct sunshine, by a lightweight waterproof PVC canopy supported by an independent structure of steel 'trees'. This sloping tarpaulin is part of a system that collects and stores rainwater to irrigate the garden.
Integrated systems for the regular control of energy consumption are accompanied by energy self-production: water is supplied by a newly drilled and dedicated well, and photovoltaic cells have been installed along the perimeter wall reducing the use of the power generator. The elimination of mechanical air conditioning [limited to medical rooms in order to assure filtered air] is perhaps the project's most important achievement in terms of environmental sustainability.
The CBF, winner of the HEALTH category award at the World Architecture Festival of Barcelona 2008, has been shortlisted among the finalists for the 2010 Aga Khan Award.
In 2014 the CBF has been selected as one of the Laureates of the European Prize of Architecture Philippe Rotthier.
The building is intensively in use.


Tallahassee, Fla. – Today, the coalition of statewide business, consumer and environmental groups that represent Stronger Safer Florida issued the following statement in support of the State Board of Administration's decision today to consider the purchase of reinsurance for the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, an important step for consumer and business protection. Continuing purchasing reinsurance for the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund will help it meet its obligations in the event of a major hurricane or series of storms. Unlike the issuance of pre-event bonds, which is debt that must be paid back, reinsurance provides coverage for Floridians without acquiring new debt.

Columbia Yacht Club (U.S.)

Estb: 1867. Location: West 86th. Street, New York.
Burgee: Pennant circa 4:7 (print image). Red field charged with a blue star on a white equilateral triangle (sides 2 units) based on hoist and a white star on fly.
Source: Lloyd's Register of American Yachts. New York, 1903
Peter Edwards, 30 June 2019
The American Yacht List for 1891 shows for the Columbia a broad pennant, with the white field reaching to the split, and the rest of the field red. The blue star is upright, and each of the red fields has a white upright star. A flag is shown for the Commodore, being the same broad pennant, but rather than a blue star it shows a 13-star circle around a fouled anchor leaning towards the top hoist, all blue. Likewise a flag for the Vice-Commodore is shown with the charge of the white field being a fouled anchor leaning towards the top hoist, blue. (The anchor is larger than for the Commodore, so it does fill most of the field.) The station is given as: 86th Street, North River, New York.
The American Yacht List for 1895 shows for the Columbia the same broad pennant, but it now shows three officers flags. The previous Vice-Commodore flag has become the Read Commodore flag, while the Vice-Commodore flag is now equal to the Commodore flag, but with the circle of stars in red.
Lloyd's Register of British and Foreign Shipping, Yacht Register, 1881-1902, all show that same design for the club flag.
In 1903, Lloyd's Register of American Yachts shows a burgee instead, as shown above. I think the blue star is intended to be upright, though, as before, while the now single white star points towards the fly. This is also how it's displayed in 1905.
In 1906, the design changes slightly, in that it's depict with a slightly more shallow triangle, with it's star a bit smaller, with both stars now of the same size and both upright. I would expect the white and red fields are now of equal size, and the design now gives an impression of balance.
A similar design is still shown in 1938, but it has disappeared by 1949. It would appear that the club did not survive WWII.

If Europe is serious about regulating the car industry and protecting public health and the climate, it needs to stand up to the car lobby rather than allowing those resisting regulation to write it.

Home CULTURE, TRAVEL7 Stunning Eco-Stays To Visit This Year
7 Stunning Eco-Stays To Visit This Year
January 29, 2020• byHolly Mowbray
I truly believe that one of life's greatest joys is travelling the world to see beautiful sites, experience unique cultures, and try delicious food. However, with the deterioration of our world's natural climate and society's new focus on environmental sustainability, that joy is often clouded with guilt – taking one round-trip flight pumps more carbon dioxide into the air than some countries output in a year. It's hard not to think of stats like this while relaxing into a cozy window seat, taking in the beauty of a planet that may look completely different in a few years if we don't change our ways. With saying that, I don't think quitting travel is the answer to all of our problems.
Thankfully, there's a number of ways that we can offset the environmental impact of travel, like seeking out eco-friendly accommodations. Plus, finding a solar powered treehouse or middle-of-the-forest yurt to stay in is easier than ever with services like Airbnb. To get you started on your first eco-friendly adventure, we put together a list of seven gorgeous eco-stays to visit in some of the most desired vacation spots around the world. Bon voyage!
1. Azulik Tulum

For those seeking a getaway that's off the grid, on-the-beach, and away from the kids, Azulik Tulum is awaiting your arrival. All rooms are WIFI and electricity free, making it the perfect place to totally unplug for days at a time. Azulik's villas are constructed from all-natural materials like wood branches and massive palms leaves, and the drinking water is sourced from an on-site well. This resort provides you the opportunity to reconnect to nature, though it looks like it could only exist in an under-the-sea fairy tale. How beautiful?
2. Clayoquot Wilderness Resort

Not to be mistaken for your typical family camping trip, Clayoquot Wilderness Resort is an opulent tented safari in the heart of Tofino, B.C. Besides offering its guests top of the line services and an endless list of activities, Clayoquot is committed to providing sustainable accommodations. All of the furniture at Clayoquot is built from wood found on the resort's property and a composting system helps reduce unnecessary waste. All single-use plastic and Styrofoam products are banned from the resort as well, and to top off it's remarkable views, Clayoquot allows guests the opportunity to participate in cleaning marine debris in wildlife habitats as part of their commitment to the Salmon Enhancement and Habitat Restoration program.
3. Papaya Playa Project

Also nestled inside of Tulum's lush jungle, Papaya Playa Project's mission prior to opening its doors was to reimagine hospitality so that it melded local culture and sustainability together. Offering luxurious, minimally styled rooms, Papaya Playa Project strives to be a zero emissions resort. It operates on solar energy and uses some of the latest eco-friendly technology to provide its own clean water, recycling it into irrigation systems. The building of the Papaya Playa Project also kept 93 per cent of the jungle surrounding it intact, making your stay an extra special one in between its tall trees and rich vegetation.
4. Geysir Cottage

If Airbnb's low rates are more attractive to you, this gorgeous country cottage is a must-see. In the heart of the famous Golden Circle Route that covers nearly 300 kilometres from Reykjavík into the southern uplands of Iceland, the home was built to reflect the Icelandic landscape and complement the vegetation in the area. It's also heated by geothermal water and energy, and makes your dreams of heading to a "summer house" come true.
5. Thala Beach Nature Reserve
https://www.instagram.com/p/BzrnACCJXHb/
Deep within North Queensland, Australia, a deluxe eco-friendly resort called Thala Beach Nature Reserve resides. In the 70s, local Australian government tried to develop the rainforest that Thala Beach Nature Reserve sits on by clearing its crops. Fortunately, founder Rob Prettejohn purchased the land, planted more crops to rehabilitate what'd been destroyed, and built a retreat that lived harmoniously with them, making it a natural sanctuary. Today, the property is named one of National Geographic's Unique Natural Lodges of the World and the rainforest around it continues to thrive. If an open-aired, tree-top bungalow is your idea of a romantic vacay, then Thala Beach Nature Reserve is where you should stay.
6. Ecomama Hotel
https://www.instagram.com/p/BjkilQjAbe5/
For all kinds of quirky, head to Ecomama in Amsterdam. This hotel/hostel is more than budget-friendly, offering everything from "hipster" five bed, dorm-style rooms to "shabby cabins" and family suites. Located in the centre of the city and founded on principles of social innovation and environmental consciousness, Ecomama was constructed using fair trade materials. The building also uses a conservative water system, performs stringent waste management practices, and Ecomama itself donates one euro per night of every guest's stay to a Guatemalan non-profit called Niños de Guatemala, which provides underprivileged children with an education. Overall, Ecomama offers peace of mind over luxury. And when the business' intentions are as good as they are, we're fine with it.
7. Cozy Cabin On The Bay
For Airbnb-ers who want to be off the grid and close to the city at the same time, this cabin in the woods couldn't get any better. Located on the Gatineau River just 15 minutes from Downtown Ottawa, the picturesque tiny house checks all the boxes – it uses a composting toilet, all electricity on the property is solar powered, and heat is generated by a wood stove. With only a short drive between the cabin and civilization, you get to experience the soothing silence of being on the water. Just look at the surroundings in the winter!

Brevard County sheriff's agricultural units, dive teams and others spent Sunday evening searching the dark waters near the Lone Cabbage Fish Camp for the two people. Boaters nearby managed to pull two others also on the airboat from the water within minutes of the crash.
"Its definitely not the turnout we like or expect," Chad Weber, with the FWC, told FLORIDA TODAY news partner WKMG. "Boating, even though it's a recreation activity, can be dangerous. Just take precautions. You can't plan for every accident, but life jackets save lives, so wear a life jacket."
Weber did not confirm whether the two men - still unidentified today - recovered were wearing life jackets. They were not seriously injured, he reported.
The deadly incident was first reported about 5 p.m. Sunday at the River Lakes Conservation Area across from Lone Cabbage. The Brevard County sheriff's helicopter assisted with the search.
But law enforcement officers were at the site - a popular stop for tourists and locals wanting air boat rides through the surrounding grassy marshland or access to the St. Johns River. Officers were making preparations to canvass the waters surrounding the mosquito-heavy area as night fell.
Boaters and onlookers scoured the Lone Cabbage's 8199 W. King Street site for hours hoping for the best.
"The guy was driving kind of fast and he turned in his own wake...he ended up flipping his airboat," said 31-year-old Timothy Young, who was at the north side boat ramp at Lone Cabbage, fishing with friends. The scene that followed was 'chaos,' said Young, adding that people were screaming.
"Everybody was worried about them," Young said.
Two boats went out in the waters and retrieved two of the men. The others could not be found.
"I knew from the get-go that something was wrong. I'm an experienced airboater. The back half of the boat was sitting kind of low before everything happened," Young said.
A short time later, divers also were in the water on the north side of State Road 520. The search continued through the evening.
The National Weather Service reports that poor boating conditions will linger in the area through the middle of the week. It was not immediately known what impact the rough weather would have on the search involving Sunday's incident in Central Brevard.
The latest statistics show that there were nine air boat crashes in 2016, up sharply from the four total boat crashes (not specifically air boat crashes) that were recorded in 2015.

MVC, Delivery Mechanism and Domain Model
Sandro Mancuso
See author's bio and posts
Model-View-Controller (or MVC for short) is one of the most misunderstood design patterns in software design. MVC has its origins in the SmallTalk community in the late 70s but it was only in 1988 that it was expressed as general concept in an article by Glenn E. Krasner and Stephen T. Pope for The Journal of Object Technology.
The main idea behind MVC was to keep the presentation and business logic decoupled from each other.
Up until mid 90s, MVC had mainly been used for desktop and embedded applications. Three-tier architecture (presentation, logic, data) was the reigning architectural style in the 90s, and MVC fitted as a glove. In the late 90s and early 2000s, most companies started migrating their applications to the web and the need to keep the user interface separate from the business logic became even more important. The MVC pattern promotes exactly that and it was a natural step to use MVC for web applications. However, we now had a browser, http calls, and the View would be rendered outside our applications, separately from our Controllers and Model. In order to make things easier for developers, a few frameworks were created. In the Java world, we had MVC Model 1 and Model 2 with Java Server Pages (JSP) and Servlets. Struts, the first major Java MVC framework, was created in the early 2000s. From then onwards, we had many attempts to make the communication between the browser (View) and our applications (Controller and Model) seamlessly. Many other frameworks like Tapestry, Java Server Faces (JSF)and Spring MVC emerged in the Java world. Other languages and platforms also created their own, Rails being one of the most successful ones.
As web applications and frameworks diversified, the MVC pattern also evolved and new variations like MVA, MVP, MVVM and PAC emerged. MVC frameworks became popular and as part of their evolution they tried to automate more and more the manual work the developer had to do, including database access. MVC frameworks started automating how Entities are persisted using Object-Relational Mapping - ORM techniques or closely integrated with other ORM frameworks. Due to the simplicity of many web applications, MVC frameworks made it easy to capture data in a web form and store in relational databases. They also made it easy to read data from the database and display on the browser. The price for this automation was a bastardisation of the Model layer, which became synonymous of Entities that represented tables in the database.
With the Model now associated to Entities and persistency and the View associated to HTML, CSS and JavaScript, developers found no other alternative then to put the business logic of the system in Controller layer. Unfortunately MVC frameworks are one of the main reasons we find Web applications with anaemic domains (Entities with no behaviour) and fat Controllers - responsible for navigation, managing sessions, parsing JSON and XML, and also with business logic.
From the original MVC idea, the Controller layer should be a very thin layer, handling the requests from the View, delegating all the business behaviour to the Model. Depending on the result returned by the Model, the Controller decides which View to display next.
The impacts of the View on the MVC design
In the early days of the web, most MVC frameworks provided a way to generate the View on the backend (server). This was done using some scripting language or template engine. In the Java world we had things like JSP, FreeMarker, Mustache, or Jade. For each request, the server would generate the whole web page and send the full HTML code back to the browser. The UI was quite dumb and the backend was normally stateful, with MVC frameworks keeping track of the HTTP Sessions. This is how the MVC looked liked:
Fully Coupled Server-side MVC
As the web evolved, the need for better usability increased and with it the demand for Rich Internet Applications (RIA). More and more we started using JavaScript in the front-end in order to have a more dynamic user interface. With this, the View moved to the browser:
Decoupled View MVC
But that was not enough. We still had problems. The full application had to be redeployed if we wanted to make a change either on the front-end or backend. Scaling stateful backends was expensive. We also had to deploy our applications (at least in the Java world) inside web or application servers. In order to solve that, we had to completely decouple the front-end and backend and ideally, have a completely stateless backend. Front-end technologies like AngularJS and Node.JS allowed us to move both View and Controller to the browser. With this, we could create stateless backend, only providing APIs.
Decoupled Model MVC
Although we changed were the View and Controller lived over time, where does MVC fit when it comes to the wider architecture of an application?
Domain Driven Design and Layered architecture
In Domain Driven Design(DDD) applications are normally split into 4 layers:
User Interface (View in MVC): Also known as Presentation Layer, it is responsible for presenting information and capturing commands of a user or another system.
Application Layer (Controller in MVC): Defines the behaviours the system is supposed to provide and directs the appropriate domain objects to execute those behaviours. This layer is normally kept thin, only coordinating the behaviour of different domain objects that together form a full business feature. This layer does not have state reflecting the system situation but can hold state that reflects the progress of a business feature.
Domain Layer (Model in MVC): Represents concepts of the business, information about the system situation and business rules. Business state is controlled and used here but the technical details of storing it are delegated to the Infrastructure layer. In MVC terms, this is the Model.
Infrastructure Layer: Provides generic technical capabilities that support the layers above. Examples would be message sending to the application, persistence, drawing UI components and support the pattern of interactions between the four layers through an architectural framework.
Note: I'll leave the discussion around Layered and Hexagonal Architecture for a different blog post. For now, let's just focus on separating concerns and keeping our domain model isolated.
Behaviour and state are both part of the domain model of an application. The domain model is a set of business concepts defined by many different design elements or building blocks. As defined in Domain Driven Design, these design elements are not only Entities but also Services (Application, Domain, Infrastructure), Repositories, Factories, Aggregates, and Value Objects.
Delivery Mechanism
There is a difference between system features and how they are delivered to the external world. We can deliver system features through a Web interface, APIs, mobile clients, messaging, or any other mechanism or protocol. Delivery Mechanism is the name given to the area of our application responsible for providing the business features to the external world. In a web application, the delivery mechanism is normally composed by the View (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and Controller (code that responds to users interactions).
MVC is a macro pattern that can be used as a good guideline to keep the delivery mechanism decoupled from the domain model. With that in mind, if we superimpose the delivery mechanism, domain model on the MVC structure we will have the following:
When it comes to MVC frameworks, they should be restricted to the View and Controller layers, never the Model.
Reduce coupling avoiding frameworks
Many web frameworks allow us to transform entities into JSON/XML and vice-versa. Some do that via annotations, others do it via reflection or name convention. It is also a common practice to use ORM frameworks to automatically persist and retrieve data from a database using our entities. Similar to the MVC frameworks, we need to add ORM annotations to our entities, or rely on reflection or name convention. With annotations we explicitly make our Model layer to know about the Controller and persistency, causing a circular dependency. If we rely on naming convention or reflection, we have a worse problem because the coupling is still there but is not visible. If we change an Entity, we may not know that we are changing the API or Database.
Although reducing boiler plate code using frameworks sounds a great idea, we are coupling the structure of our entities (domain model) to the APIs we provide to the external world and our database. Changing the database impacts the API and vice-versa. What had initially been seen as a time saver, now is a reason to avoid change. The larger and more coupled the system grows, the less developers will be inclined to make changes due to the size of the ripple effects. Many web apps today have APIs which are far from ideal as they reflect the internal data structure of the application instead of focusing only on the information that would make more sense to the external world.
Do not be afraid to create your own mappers. They are normally very simple to write and there are many small libraries specialised to parse objects to JSON or persist data to databases. The advantage of writing our own mappers is that we do not need to couple our APIs or databases to anything. Changes are localised and easy to change. On top of that, we can easily test-drive our mappers and move API tests to the unit level instead of doing it at Acceptance level.
The biggest advantage of keeping the Domain Model decoupled from the Delivery Mechanism is that it give us deployment options as the application evolves.
While the application is small, we can keep the separation between delivery mechanism and domain model just using good package/namespace structure or sub-modules, but still keep everything in the same project and deploy both together, as a single application.
Embedded Domain Model
As the application grows and we want to add different delivery mechanisms, or use different technology stacks, or scale delivery mechanism and domain model in different ways, it makes sense to deploy them individually. If the separation is already there, it would not be so hard to achieve that. We just need to wrap the Domain Model in some infrastructure and change the invocation from the Delivery Mechanism.
Deployable Domain Model
In MVC, Controllers are very thin classes (just a few lines) which identify the request from the user, invoke the appropriate behaviour in the Model, and invoke the appropriate View once the Model returns. Controllers might also need to deal with code related to the delivery mechanism (HTTP response codes, JSON converters, etc) but most of it should be delegated to other classes which also live in the controller layer. Model is not only about entities (state); it's about all the behaviour of your system - the entire Domain Model.
The choice of View technology impacts on how your layers are coupled and how your application is deployed.
Keep the Delivery Mechanism decoupled from your Domain Model. The Domain Model should not know anything about how the business feature and data are delivered to the outside world.
Don't couple all the layers of your application using frameworks that will tell our entities how they should be represented as JSON or persisted in a database. Use small libraries instead of big frameworks. Use a small library at your Controller layer to convert JSON to and from your domain objects and another small library inside your repositories to convert your entities to and from data in the database. If you are using Java, we created LightAccess for this purpose.
Keeping Delivery Mechanism decoupled from Domain Model give us options to deploy and scale the application.

Finding an FHA loan consultant in Minneapolis MN to help you wade through the details and legwork involved in the condo buying process will be that much easier if you're at least somewhat familiar with the framework before embarking on the sometimes complicated journey yourself.
As a would-be condo purchaser planning on seeking out an FHA loan, your best bet is to begin your search for your new home on the FHA-approved condominium list. As the name implies, this is a listing of condos that has already been approved by the Federal Housing Administration–making the rest of the process that much easier. Your realtor should be able to provide you with access to this FHA-approved condo list, which will make getting financing that much easier and straightforward, depending on your own financial health and situation.
Of course, that's not to say that if the condo of your dreams isn't currently on the approved FHA list it's impossible to get it there and make it yours. All it takes is a willingness to put in the extra effort and a lender that will work with you to complete one of the approved processes.
Through the HRAP–that is, the HUD Review and Approval Process–your lender can submit all of the necessary paperwork to place your desired property on the FHA list. Unfortunately, this process can take 4-8 weeks, which can be frustrating for those looking to move relatively quickly, or those living in hotter markets where properties aren't likely to stick around for that long.
Alternatively, for a quicker option, you may be able to find a lender with what is known as unconditional Direct Endorsement Authority, which means that they have the experience, staff, and expertise to be able to review condo projects themselves. This route is known as the Direct Endorsement Lender Review and Approval Process, or DELRAP. There's a long and involved list of project eligibility requirements for getting a condo onto the FHA loan list, so finding a lender with Direct Endorsement Authority is an essential component to moving your project along if you'd like to get your condo on the list with any semblance of speed.


Three Reasons Why iPhone 6 might be a Phablet!
The upcoming iPhone 6 might be a Phablet (five inch) . Current rumors and the media reports suggest that the Apple is working on the smart phone with a wider screen display. Here are the top three reasons why a larger Smartphone makes sense.
The conservative phone had only one determination, to make calls. But later, listening to the music was added. And today, a Smartphone is widely used for the multiple functions. It isn't only used as the connectivity device but also as the media device.
Many customers like to watch some videos or movies apart from enjoying music on their mobile devices. The recent smaller screen size on iPhones might not be very fascinating to the customers who use it to watch some videos. The developers of iPhone 6 will surely take this into account.
The Apple has extended its product line over some past years. The iPad has a smaller variant, iPad mini. It has become customary to expect 2 iPhone releases in a year and there're some rumors of a cheaper iPhone 5C in the September event.
The Apple has products with the 4 inch screen and some devices with the 7 plus inch displays. It is only a matter of the time that Apple releases a new device catering to the requirements of 5 inch segment. The upcoming iPhone 6 might be the ideal to fulfill that need. The analysts think that this has been the main differentiating factor between the Apple and the Samsung.
Many business managers want to be connected, even while they're travelling. They rely on Smartphones to surf the internet or send some emails. A bigger screened iPhone 6 might make it very cozy to do this. The Samsung currently released the Galaxy Note 3, that looks to be focused particularly on the business executives.
Given the requirements and benefits of a five inch display Smartphone and the current media reports, the customers can expect to see the upcoming iPhone 6 coming to a wider screen.


The costume trunk is packed until Hallowe'en. The glitter has been washed off of my face. My sparkly elf-ears are store in their earring box. I have moistened my sunburned shoulders and back several times today, and my leg muscles hurt from all the walking we did at Faerieworlds 2014. This was the last year at this venue at Mount Pisgah near Eugene, Oregon, and it should have had the resonance of a huge celebration of all that is, and has been, the magical realm of the fae brought to us by Brian Froud.
I snapped over 60 photos, so it was not all a loss: there were beautiful costumes and interesting sights, but the magick – the magick was not the same as previous years.
The first hint was when we pulled around the corner of Frank Parrish Road and met the first of the volunteers directing traffic. No satyrs, fauns, or Elven maidens met us: only workers in blue tee-shirts and blue jeans. Their faces were not painted in glitter, they wore no crownlets of leaves and branches: they wore a necklace with an ID tag and they waved us along the way as if we were new to the venue. Always before, there has been a genial wave, a cheer of "good fairy" wishes, and magical creatures along the way to guide us.
It was the same at Will-Call, for the most part. I was glad to be greeted by a fellow actress in full fairy garb, hailed and hugged as an old friend – but the fairies behind the tables were clad in that awful human tee shirt of blue!
Faeries here and there still posed for photos, but many frowned upon having their picture taken and I was left to photograph them from behind, covertly.
Mechanical wings! Where in the magic kingdom could they come up with such a clever (and non-natural) invention?!
Someone forgot to tell some of the visitors that this is the Kingdom of the Fae, not a Steampunk Con – but I suppose the non-fae have to create wings somehow!
A more masculine set of real faerie wings – and faux fox tails. Or maybe they are real coyote tails. I didn't ask.
I am forever fascinated by the elegance of some wings! This faerie was more elegant from the side!
One of the few veteran actors we saw. This year, there were no trolls or goblins, and precious few actors and actresses making their way around the venue! But always the genial prankster, this Green Man made little kissing sounds at all who passed or gave him compliment!
I snapped the phooto of the Dryad and then learned she was at the Faire to promote someone's book. She was one of the few silent creatures who played the part and walked the walk. I have the bookmark and will most likely download the book onto my Kindle. Yes, I have forgotten the title of it – I'll add it to the comments on the morrow.
Yes! Not a faun nor a satyr, but a horned woodland creature. I saw him later with his lady.
The lady was elegant in silver and wings.
This fae had no wings, but was a snake charmer with her three year old ball python adorning her neck. I love snakes. Some folks cringe, but I find snakes to be mysterious and lovely – this one was perhaps quite happy in the heat of the moment, curling around its mistress' neck.
The jovial bouncer at Oberon's Tavern – Chrystal said he reminded her of one of the bats from "Fern Gully". We decided he would not appreciate it and – since we liked him – we wouldn't tell him.
Only a few times could we coax a group of faeries to pose for us. The antlers lit up after dark.
Did I mention resting their feet?
This actress may not like our review of her performance. She was unfriendly. Her griffon was adorable and active, well-mannered, and clever. But the lady? She hardly spoke to us, seemed a bit put-off when I approached and spoke directly to the griffon, and deigned to tell us a story about him.
This is not what we have come to expect. You are an actor in a play. My friend, Mary (she of last week's Ren Faire), often attends events like this with a puppet-friend who will talk your ear off. If not the puppet-friend, then Mary, who will tell you the history, the ecology, and the biology of her friend. No griffon would be left without a name and without a history of existence!
Oh my gosh! The sugar-plum fairy came out at dusk! Tell me that you do not want to hug that bundle of cuteness??!!
I have seen the jellyfish before – usually, there are several around the faire, but this year, only the one came out, and s/he came out at dusk. It was just as hot last year, so I do not understand the reluctance to engage during the daylight hours, even for an hour.
This is what I love best about Faerieworlds – that anyone can be transformed by their imagination into something else. Another photographer filmed her dancing in her wheelchair, and I have to tell you that it was beautiful.
This was simply annoying. I waved the first time it droned past. It was obnoxious, filming everything and everyone. Granted, when you walk into a venue such as this, changed into another ego, you expect to be photographed and filmed.
That, of course, was another of our criticisms to this year's event: so many creatures seemed reluctant to be photographed, and even seemed somewhat hostile.
Not hostile like this – but hostile to the idea that you might take their photo and put it up on a blog somewhere, complete with comments.
He was, by the way, a very good drummer.
She hissed at me, but it wasn't out of character.
Love the headdress, by the way. Looks heavy and HOT!
More Steampunk madness in the world of the fae.
We were disappointed in the vendors. So many of the local, hand-made, and art print vendors were gone, replaced by more commercial vendors. We met one man who was selling hand-crafted items from Mexico, but it was not for a charity. He told us about the women who made the items, but didn't offer to tell us that the proceeds of his sales would go to help them rise above their living standards.
There were numerous rock-and-gem vendors, but since I frequent rock-and-gem shows, their prices didn't enthrall me (except one – there was one I really liked who had real prices on her wares).
The macrame vendor intrigued me solely because I saw her working her macrame loom and I understood those were hand-made items – by the artist in the booth. Same for the wool fairy slippers (I took a business card so I can ask for a pair for Christmas)! There was a vendor of small vials that was fascinating, and the seller of mummified fairies.
But so many of the fairy booths of the past were gone: the fairy houses, the intricate masks, the fairy ears and animal horns… A few here and there, but almost a sideline to the ouija boards and tarot card readers. It was as if Hobbiton had been taken over by the Dark Lord. The innocence of the past – of satyrs and fauns, woodland fae, and belly dancers – was replaced with commercialism. Gone were fairy toes and leather-bound handmade books, replaced with – what?
I don't know. It just didn't have the ring of innocence of the past. Or maybe that is my daughter's voice ringing in my ears. She attended several years ago and returned this year, and she said it no longer had that "magical" feel to it. There were just as many drunks (one hit on her many moons ago), but fewer innocents. The Frouds were long gone and the security guards now wear human clothes in the form of blue tee shirts and jeans.
Still, we had a smashing (and I do not mean Wotan the Fairy Smasher) time.
It's sad that the magic wasn't there. I'm glad you were able to have fun anyway.
Thanks, Penny. I hope the magic – the good kind – returns. It's sad to see a beloved venue fall into the consumerism trap.
I wonder if many of the local artists were not there because they could not afford to be? Either because of the vendor fees, or because people did not actually buy their stuff – or a combination of those two? No matter how one feels about an event, when one must invest substantial time and money into it for no return, how can one justify that?
Thank you Jim. As you can see from another comment here, the vendor fees certainly played into it. I had considered that, but did not verbalize it in my blog.
I was a vendor there selling handmade dragon skull masks, dragon barrettes, and griffin barrettes. It was depressing seeing people spending all their money on cheap mass produced trinkets while barely glancing at things they wouldn't find anywhere else in the world.
The show was very greedy when it came to vendors. Each 10X10 spot cost bare minimum $600. They accepted over 200 vendors. Only 2 that I talked to even made their 10X10 spot money back.
This was my first Faerieworlds. I've read so much about previous years, and I was excited for the magical experience. It wasn't anything like I expected. I'm still very disappointed in the experience. Volunteers didn't know anything and gave us different information. The staff allowed people to stand wherever they'd like and play music for tips. I even saw people sitting by the food court selling their wares on blankets.
The show people lied to us about everything from how many attendants come to how much the average person spends. They set us all up to fail just so they could profit that much more. They should be embarrassed.
I probably picked up your business card, Catherine. Your site sounds familiar. I KNOW I did – I almost bought a dragon barrette to go with my gold dragon pinned on the back of my wings. Yours were lovely – and very nearly matched the dragon I have. I can't find your business card in my stack: do you have a website? I'd still LOVE yo have a dragon barrette (as soon as I get paid). I know I did not have as much money this year as in previous years.
I knew they charged a lot for vendor spaces, but did not know it had risen to $600+. That is exorbitant (especially given that I know how much my friend was spending for her booth at Canterbury Ren Faire the same weekend – although a much smaller venue).
I'm sorry you had such a sad experience – even though we were disappointed, we will probably be back in the future (always hopeful).
Do let me know about your website. I loved those dragons!
Do not misunderstand me – I found all the volunteers to be helpful, I was just sad that so many were not dressed up as in previous years. It helped me enter into the Realm.

We chatted with Jenna Rose Igneri from Nylon magazine about one of the soon to be biggest trends in the beauty industry – functional fragrances.
We started from the beginning, explaining how functional fragrances stem from aromatherapy, and explained how many perfumes contain alcohol and other petrochemicals such as acetone, ethanol, and benzaldehyde which block out our ability to receive the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. Essential oils are at the base of many luxury perfumes, along with a slew of other chemicals and synthesized, lab created fragrances. Mental benefits found in Mental Essentials oils are naturally occurring in nature and their effects can't be replicated in a lab.
Below is a condensed version of our feature in Nylon – read the original article from Nylon here.
Are Functional Fragrances The Next Big Wellness Trend?
With a new year approaching, bringing tons of beauty launches with it, functional fragrances might just be shaping up to become one of 2019′s biggest beauty trends. But what is it that makes a fragrance fall into the "functional" category? It all has to do with aromatherapy.
It's an integrative wellness practice and mind-body experience. As the actual physical molecules of the plant enter our physical body via our bloodstream—either by breathing it into our respiratory system or applying it topically to the skin—the same aromatic molecules also have a great effect on our unconscious mind, which controls all physiological, emotional, and psychological responses. That said, a key—and most profound—benefit of using scent/aroma is to help us mitigate our stress responses and trigger certain neurological responses that can improve our health.
Like with many other product categories in the beauty and wellness sphere, it's important to know where ingredients are being sourced from—even with natural products. Alyson Charles—spiritual teacher, speaker, and shaman—explains that, as someone who regularly works with plant medicines in the form of essential oils, it's crucial to know where and how a plant was sourced—as it can greatly affect its purity and efficacy. She doesn't consider an essential oil true aromatherapy if the oil or scent has been mixed with cheaper oils (a practice that can be used to lower a price point or mass market a product), or is a synthetic version that resembles the scent of the plant.
With all that said, don't expect to reap any benefits from your everyday perfume. "Aromatherapy is a practice of using scent to support and promote well-being. Perfume is really all about art. A perfumer builds an aesthetic scent landscape and tries—like a painter or musician—to evoke feeling and beauty. So, although both are using scents and similar palettes, their intention is very different," says Galper. This is technically the difference between aromatherapy and aromachology, which deals with the psychological—not therapeutic—effects that scent has on the brain.
That, and the fact that most perfumes and colognes are formulated with synthetic fragrances.
Synthetic or artificial fragrances or fragrance oils that don't contain any actual plant matter or any of the benefits found in plant matter are a whole different story. "Synthetic fragrances will give you the same consistent scent, viscosity, and texture every time, yet they'll never be able to communicate with our brain's limbic system the same way natural plant matter does, meaning they won't have the same impact on mood, or the same healing powers for our bodies," says Christina Kaur, co-founder of Vellum Wellness. She points out that if a product's ingredient label contains the words "parfum" or "fragrance," it's a pretty clear indicator that it contains a synthetic.

There was too much damage to determine the cause of the Zion Evangelical Baptist Church fire, the chief said.
The fire that tore through the Zion Evangelical Baptist Church in New Rochelle two weeks ago left too much devastation for firefighters to determine an exact cause, New Rochelle Fire Chief Andrew Sandor said.
But the fire isn't believed to be suspicious, the chief said.
The building at 50 Lockwood Ave., which was built in 1924, caught fire on Dec. 27 and burned for more than two hours while dozens of firefighters wrestled with the flames and conditions.
The church's congregants found a temporary home at Lincoln Avenue's Bethesda Baptist Church.


Othello's Secret uncovers the relationship between the play and the conflicts that have torn apart its Cypriot setting, providing a new and powerfully political reading. Exploring the domestic and military anxieties connected by Shakespeare, Christofides highlights the ways in which these issues resonate with current ideological and geographical divisions in Cyprus, divisions rooted in the 16th century struggles to control the island. Challenging the conventional view of Othello as a Venetian play, this book offers a fierce and personal example of how early modern literature can purposefully contribute to even the most complex geopolitical debates.
Othello's Secret: The Cyprus Problem PDF (Adobe DRM) can be read on any device that can open PDF (Adobe DRM) files.
