Home/meet the farmers
Ron Rosmann
Shelby County, Iowa
Call him the accidental farmer: Ron Rosmann never intended to run his dad's operation. He left the farm and went to college at Iowa State, and although he started out in farm operation, "I didn't exactly like it." He switched his major, and graduated with a degree in biology with a double minor in psychology and sociology. He was applying to graduate schools in 1973, when his dad tried one more time to hook him on the family farm.
"He was going to retire, and I was his last hope for passing on the farm. I told him I would try it for a year. I found I liked working outside; I liked the independence; I liked being in a community where you weren't just a number, but you could make a difference. Then I decided, shoot, I was sick of school." He's been on a tractor ever since. More, with his wife, Maria, and their three children, Ron has been a pioneer organic farmer.
The early 1970s, he remembers, were optimistic times for farmers. "It was the boom years. We thought we couldn't get enough crops in the ground because the whole world wanted our crops. We were going to export our way into eternal nonending profitability." Then came the 1980s farm crisis.
At the beginning of that decade, Ron invested in a hog confinement operation, and although interest rates were high, his hog operation protected him from some of the worst ravages of the 1980s. Ultimately, however, consolidation, vertical integration, and the growth of big agribusiness worked against family farmers like Ron. "We were at the mercy of a marketplace that was becoming uncompetitive," he says. Something had to give.
Ron isn't one who's content to sit back passively and react. He's interested in the political and social affairs of rural America. In 1986, he helped found the Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI), whose mission is to "research, develop and promote profitable, ecologically sound, and community-enhancing approaches to agriculture." From his background in biology, Ron has retained a curiosity about how things work--and a healthy skepticism for unproven methods.
As a result, he's always been an innovative farmer. Although he farmed conventionally and ran a 1,500-hog confinement operation, he was always willing to put new ideas to the test: He was an early proponent of crop rotation, and he built his confinement shed to operate on solar power and used straw bedding long before others adopted the practice. In the same spirit, he began to question the excessive use of petrochemicals on the farm.
"I never liked using pesticides for the health reasons. You couldn't wear gloves and get the nozzles clean, so you were always drenching your hands in the stuff. I never got sick from it, but some people had extreme symptoms. It scared me."
Moreover, the tight margins of the 1980s provided a strong economic incentive to experiment with new methods. Ron and his colleagues at PFI began exploring what he calls low-input sustainable agriculture: "We were trying to decrease our cost of production, do less harm to the environment and ourselves, and increase our net return." At the time, Ron recalls, "organic was a four-letter word," but their research inevitably led them to organic farming processes. In 1983, Ron "went cold turkey on herbicides and pesticides" on his crops. But without a developed consumer market for organic produce, he and early converts like him sold their products to conventional markets. In the early years, he remembers, his only organic customers were a busload of Japanese buyers who came through the county to source a supplier of organic soybeans.
Slowly, however, consumer awareness caught up to mavericks like Ron. Today, demand for organic foods are higher than ever before, fueled by people who, like Ron, want cleaner, healthier food, and a greener planet. "Our goal is to create the highest quality, safest food possible to eat--and we eat it ourselves. That has been our goal all along."
After he felt comfortable growing organic crops, Ron turned his attention to his livestock. In 1990, he started a rotational grazing program with his beef cattle. The science behind raising organic livestock is that when animals live normal lives and eat a typical, healthy diet, they develop strong immune systems and enjoy improved health. Only in crowded systems, where animals are herded together into unsanitary holding tanks does it become necessary to introduce drugs to prevent disease. Frightening diseases like Mad Cow are directly attributable to factory farming practices. Unlike organically raised cows, these animals are fed animal byproducts and distributed rapidly throughout the industrial food chain.
On his farm, Ron noticed the difference right away. "These are contented animals. They've got all this fresh grass with rotational grazing, and the calves are growing like crazy. They have the slick hair coats. They're happy." Still, he worried at first that his cows would get sick without drugs. Early on, he tested the herd for worms, and he expected the worst: that without their usual dose of medicine, he would find a full-scale infestation. Not true. "The tests showed that we're doing well. After that, I started getting confident in the cow's own immunities."
If organic practices could lead to healthy cows, why not pigs? A few years ago, Ron learned about the Swedish deep bedding system, an alternative to factory-style confinement. Ironically, Sweden was an early exporter of the factory system--with pigs penned in small, slatted cages and liquid manure removed mechanically from below. Deep bedding takes a different approach. Pigs are separated into social groups and penned together in spacious compartments. Instead of concrete or slats, the pigs bed on layers and layers of straw, which is comfortable, stimulating, and reduces both odors and disease. While he learns the system, Ron has dropped the number of hogs he handles from 1,500 to 50. "There's a whole lot to learn, and there's always something to improve. There's never a boring day." Given the success of his operations to date, it seems likely that Ron's hog operation will eventually pay dividends.
Ultimately, Ron's organic farm--crops, cows, and hogs--intersects with his desire to promote what he calls "rural justice issues." He figures that sustainable, organic agriculture that provides a decent living for farm families like his can restore rural life. "I was never satisfied just being a farmer; I always wanted to do more than that," he says. "I want to influence change and promote things that we shouldn't have lost--family farms, small communities, vibrant rural economies, school systems that have kids in them." Today, there's a growing number of consumers who share his dream. The fact that they can actively support it while providing their families with safe, healthy, and delectable organic foods, is just the icing on the cake.

Urgent Biophilia, Kairotic Time, and Sacred Space
One of the pleasures of my work is having regular contact with a community of thinkers whose collective interests wend (albeit in a eclectic way) through various tributaries of the contemporary arts and sciences.
When different constituents in this network start pointing to the same thing, it's a pretty reliable proxy for its significance, or at the very least its interest. So it seemed more than kismet a few months ago when three unrelated colleagues pointed me to recent work by ecologist Keith Tidball at Cornell University, specifically his work on "urgent biophilia".
Tidball's contribution is a nuanced expansion of the term first introduced by E.O. Wilson in his 1984 landmark book, to express humanity's innate preferences for living things, the "connections that human beings subconsciously seek with the rest of life":
From infancy we concentrate happily on ourselves and other organisms. We learn to distinguish life from the inanimate and move toward it like moths to a porch light. Novelty and diversity are particularly esteemed; the mere mention of the word extraterrestrial evokes reveries about still unexplored life, displacing the old and once potent exotic that drew earlier generations to remote islands and jungled interiors …
To affiliate with life is a deep and complicated process in mental development. To an extent still undervalued in philosophy and religion, our existence depends on this propensity, our spirit is woven from it, hope rises on its currents.
Tidball elaborates on Wilson's original concept of biophilia, connecting it to our response to disasters. He suggests that catastrophes may stir within us a vital instinct to reengage with nature, in ways that restore not only the environment, but also ourselves:
… when humans, faced with urgent disaster or hazard situations, when individuals and as communities and populations seek out doses of contact and engagement with nature to further their efforts to summon and demonstrate resilience in the face of a crisis, they exemplify an urgent biophilia … [T]he affinity we humans have for the rest of nature, the process of remembering that affinity and the urge to express it through creation of restorative environments, which may also restore or increase ecological function, may confer resilience across multiple scales.
Such an instinctive turn toward nature after disaster might initially strike one as counterintuitive. After all, there might not be any such thing as a 'natural' disaster, but many catastrophes feature significant ecological disruption. It seems just as plausible that, in the wake of such tumult, people might turn away from nature, expressing a kind of 'urgent antibiophilia'.
Yet, in my own conversations with people in disaster-affected areas around the world, engagement with the natural world often surfaces as an important part of the post-disaster healing process. In New Orleans, after Katrina, a woman described how she and her neighbors planted trees throughout their neighborhood, both as a symbol of their own commitment to place, and (in a spirit of defiance and solidarity) to assert new ecological 'facts on the ground'. A tornado victim from Joplin, MS told me he replanted tomatoes almost immediately after the tornadoes, "just to have living things around".
In these, and countless other similar encounters, the conversation is almost never about dominance or reasserting control over nature, but rather about communion, consolation, recovery, and the restoration of coherence. One often hears synonyms for words like awakening, reckoning, correction, redemption, rebalancing, and even liberation through the disaster event.
For understandable reasons, the dialogue around disasters rarely exceeds a tally of what has been lost, harmed and broken. Almost never do we speak about broader cognitive and spiritual shifts that sometime attend such disruptions, out of an understandable fear of diminishing what has been often horrifically rent apart.
Yet for some (certainly not all) of those in a disaster-affected community, the period after a disruption can be one of profound, even peak significance. The loss of the usual signposts of life that attend a catastrophe can also liberate us from social norms and expectations, freeing us to think and act in new ways, surprising even ourselves. Amid the sorrow and confusion that follow any disaster, some people in affected communities experience a deepened sense of meaning and purpose, of increased agency, possibility and commonweal. Connections to place, to community, and to nature intensify, becoming more vivid and more sacred. Individuals can find themselves slipping into an entirely different kind of time, called kairotic time – not the chronological time of days, but closer to the psychological time found in novels – measured by the internal psychological progress of its protagonists, through a series of dilemmas and contradictions, toward a moment of resolution and purpose. In kairotic moments, the subjective experience of time itself is enlarged and its meaning is transformed. A Haitian colleague once told me that the earthquake "crucified her old life and set her free in her new one". The choice of words hardly seemed accidental.
What is true for individuals seems likely true for communities as well. If the preexisting bonds of trust and solidarity are sufficiently strong, the post-crisis moment can be one of collective imagination and creative possibility, liberated from at least some prior constraints.
It seems likely that these aspects of human nature – our urgent biophilia and the possibility of post-crisis kairosis – are intertwined and mutually reinforcing. If that's true, it suggests that ecological engagement and the design of restorative environments have critical roles to play in building community resilience in both the short and long-term.
Indeed, that's the very premise of the Landscapes of Resilience project, led by Tidball, as well as Erika Svendsen and Lindsay Campbell, social scientists with the U.S. Forest Service, working with TILL, a landscape architecture firm in Newark, NJ, and others, supported by the TKF Foundation. The Landscapes project will collectively envision, design, build and measure two "open and sacred spaces" in Joplin, MS and New York City – places of ecological engagement, remembrance, shared stewardship, and psychosocial restoration. (In undertaking this work, the team would do well to connect with Milenko Matanovic and his colleagues at the Pomegranate Center, who have developed deep expertise in designing exactly these kinds of spaces with communities.)
Regardless of its outcomes, this project touches on important, and often under-appreciated aspects of our response to disruptions. First, the connections between our mental health and the natural environment are integral and profound, and need to be respected as a key enabler of the resilience of any community. Second, the cognitive, spiritual and social dimensions of disruptions take time to unfold, and should not be measured solely by what has been lost, but understood in much broader, longer-term and potentially transformational terms. And finally, the post-crisis moment may offer a unique window for positive intervention in a social-ecological system – one that we should be prepared for with the right tools and processes to help communities 'bounce forward' and not merely recover.

Basketball's Week
Mervin Hyman
It was examination time for many of the nation's major-college teams, but some still found time for limited competition. Unbeaten Ohio State continued to win handsomely in the Big Ten, Kentucky had Coach Adolph Rupp preening expectantly for his first SEC title in four years and independent Oregon State streaked impressively among its neighbors in the Pacific Northwest.
Minnesota was ready for Ohio State. The fans, 19,500 strong, came armed with confetti, streamers and other adornments to make it a wild celebration. But someone forgot to tell Jerry Lucas and his friends. Big Luke and John Havlicek boxed out the Gophers' big men under the boards and scored 56 points, the Minnesota fast break was slowed down to a trot and the Buckeyes serenely went about the business of winning their 13th straight, 90-76.
Thanks to Wichita, the Missouri Valley had a race again. Upset at Tulsa 86-77, the Shockers hit Bradley with a sizzling fast break in the first half to grab a 51-39 lead. The Braves fought back with a full-court press and Chet Walker's 40 points, but it wasn't good enough. Six-foot-10 Gene Wiley gave Wichita the boards, Lanny Van Eman pitched in 25 points and the Shockers squeezed out an 89-88 win. The top three:
1. OHIO STATE (13-0)
2. CINCINNATI (13-2)
3. BRADLEY (11-3)
Kentucky was still treating its SEC rivals like a bunch of presumptuous upstarts. Cotton Nash, Larry Pursiful and Carroll Burchett hit Tennessee with an 81-point fusillade, and the Vols bowed 95-82. But highly rated Mississippi State had its troubles. While Coach Babe McCarthy fretted, his Bulldogs almost lost to last-place Georgia Tech. Behind 56-55 with a minute to go, McCarthy sent in sophomore Aubrey Nichols, obviously with instructions to foul, and the strategy worked. Tech's Frank Landrey twice missed the one-and-one, and stringy W. D. Stroud pushed in a lay-up in the last second to win for State 57-56. Alabama and Mississippi were easier for the Bulldogs. They stalled awhile with the slowed-down Alabamans but won 67-40 and finished the week by overtaking Ole Miss 61-57. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech finally pulled off an upset. The Jackets made six straight foul shots in the last three minutes, added a field goal by Josh Powell and Tech beat Vanderbilt 71-66.
While Duke and Wake Forest marked time until their January 27 meeting, North Carolina moved to the top of the ACC standings. The Tar Heels confused South Carolina with their "Oklahoma shuffle" and beat them 83-71, then shot 60.5% while harassing old-rival North Carolina State with a man-to-man press. They whipped the Wolfpack 66-56. But State's Ev Case was still hopeful after his team defeated injury-stricken Maryland 68-61. Playmaker Ken Rohloff becomes eligible to direct the erratic Wolfpack attack this Saturday.
It was a case of too much Thorn for both Richmond and Pitt. The West Virginia star piled up 62 points as the Mountaineers outran the Spiders, 82-73, and the Panthers, 88-78. The top three:
1. KENTUCKY (13-1)
2. DUKE (11-2)
3. MISSISSIPPI STATE (13-1)
Skyline coaches were still searching for a way to Stop Utah's Billy McGill. Montana's foxy Frosty Cox surrounded him with burly Steve Lowry and Ray Lucien, and it worked until Lowry fouled out. Then Billy quickly swished in 16 points to finish with 26 as the Utes won 68-66. BYU tried it with a zone. While New York Knick Coach Ed Donovan watched enviously, McGill hooked over the frantic Cougars for 43 points and Utah won 94-89. Donovan's appraisal: "The best shooter in college basketball."
Oregon State matched winning streaks with Idaho at Moscow, where the Vandals had won 13 in a row. The Beavers won twice, 74-59 and 71-68, for their 11th and 12th straight. In the only Big Five game, Stanford beat Washington 64-59. The top three:
1. USC (12-3)
2. UTAH (15-2)
3. OREGON STATE (13-1)
THE EAST
This area was full of pleasant surprises. Duquesne (until it pushed its luck too far against talent-rich Cincinnati) and Villanova were behaving beyond all expectations. Seton Hall, its announced post-scandal de-emphasis hardly showing, had the section's brightest sophomore in Nick Werkman, a superb 6-foot-3 shooter who ranked No. 2 among the country's scorers. Even Yale, in strange territory atop the Ivy League (along with Cornell), was raising hopes in the hearts of old Blues.
Duquesne was doing it with muscle and Willie Somerset, an agile little (5-feet-10) sophomore with a remarkable jump shot. While quick-tempered Mike Rice and big Clyde Arnold manned the boards, Somerset flipped in 26 points and the Dukes trounced Toledo 80-57. For a while, the aggressive Duquesne defense even had Cincinnati on the run, but eventually the Bearcats won 62-54 (see page 44).
Villanova's Hubie White slipped away from Penn's switching man-to-man for 38 points, picked off 16 rebounds, and the Ivy Leaguers meekly succumbed, 81-54. St. John's, warming up for its annual midwestern trip, drubbed St. Francis (N.Y.) 92-54. Temple stumbled badly against Navy and lost 61-51. The top three:
1. VILLANOVA (14-2)
2. DUQUESNE (13-2)
3. ST. JOHN'S (10-3)
Despite a slim schedule, the SWC was in its usual turbulent state. Texas and Texas A&M hooked up in a fist-swinger at Austin before the Longhorns, moving judiciously in and out of a zone and a full-court press and occasionally breaking fast, won 64-57 to knock the Aggies out of a first-place tie.
Border leader Arizona State concentrated on its neighbors last week, beating Arizona State College 109-88 and Arizona 73-67, while Houston squelched Lamar Tech 86-64 for its 13th win. The top three:
1. TEXAS TECH (9-2)
2. TEXAS (9-4)
3. ARIZONA STATE (13-3)
NEW STARS: Kansas State's Gary Marriott (left) got 12 straight points in final minutes as Wildcats beat Missouri 69-66. Seton Hall's slick-shooting Nick Werkman scored 39 points in 86-80 win over Creighton, 23 more against Fairfield, finished the week with 31.4 average.

Acne, we've all been there at some point and it's super annoying. The key to battling acne is to know the cause and prevent it. Although it's easier than it sounds, we have to improvise in the meantime and LiveGlam has got you covered! We are sharing our top 10 tips for professional artists working on acne prone skin makeup.
First thing, get the acne under control and find the best skincare that is suitable for acne prone skin. You should get to know your client's skin by asking as many questions as you can. A good skincare regimen includes a cleanser, toner, moisturizer and a treatment.
Apply makeup to clean skin every time. Use a mattifying makeup primer to keep skin shine-free and in place all day long. A mattifying primer will help as a disguise for acne prone skin makeup.
While treating the acne, you're going to have rely on foundation that provides good coverage. Look for one that is oil-free and always go for liquid foundations. Sticks and compacts can make acne look worse.
A good trick to covering up acne is to apply concealer after the foundation (to cover what the foundation didn't). Try to find one that contains salicylic acid to treat the acne while camouflaging it.
This is one of the most important tricks for an artist, so be sure to remember it. Always stipple the makeup on even when it comes to bronzer and blush. This will give your client the best coverage and it will avoid rubbing-off all the work you just did to cover-up the blemishes.
Don't worry, we're not saying to slow down the cocktails. Avoid using alcohol based products. They will only agitate problem skin and cause more breakouts.
Choose a sheer powder to help set the foundation and concealer in place. This will prevent the makeup from looking dry and cakey. You never want to use powder for coverage, it will emphasize the acne.
The best makeup brushes are clean brushes. You should wash your tools once a week with a gentle cleanser and rinse them really good. Excess makeup and oil on your brushes will only cause more breakouts, which you definitely want to avoid.
Always check the ingredients. If your products are non-comedogenic, paraben-free, sulfate-free & oil-free, then you're golden! These ingredients are likely to clog pores and irritate skin.
Steer away from any shimmer or illuminators. They will draw more attention to the breakouts.
So, what do you think? Ready to really take on acne prone skin makeup? You've got this! Just follow our tips and you'll become a pro in no time! Be sure to check out our DIY blemish remover tips to help get rid of those pesky breakouts. If you have any questions, we've got you! Ask us below, or on Facebook!
Luke Smith: Thanks for the advice to look for coverage options that are oil-free so you don't make your acne look worse. I would imagine that finding a dermatological treatment of some sort would be a good option as well. Talking to your doctor would be a good way to find a treatment that would work for you.

HomeNewsFamine: new battleground for displaced Afghans – a photo essay
Famine: new battleground for displaced Afghans – a photo essay
"This is the first time I've been home in six years," says Sayed Muhammad, 70.
But the sight that greeted his family on their return a few weeks ago was one of devastation. The entire back section of the house, which is located near a now-abandoned military base, had been reduced to rubble.
Much of the population of Marja in Afghanistan's Helmand province has been displaced over the past decade, as it became the scene of intense fighting between the Taliban and coalition and former government forces. There is hardly a building in the town that does not bear the scars of the conflict.
Together with his wife and six children, Muhammad has moved into the one room of their house that still has a roof, fixing plastic sheets over holes in the walls. "We've put the door back, but it's freezing at night," he says.
Like tens of thousands of other internally displaced people (IDPs) now back home in former battleground districts in Helmand and elsewhere in Afghanistan, he is faced with a challenge bigger even than rebuilding: keeping his family fed.
"Sometimes we get vegetables, but mostly we are living on bread and tea," he says. "All the children are hungry."
Other people in this shattered town give similar accounts. Families cannot afford to buy enough food and those, like Muhammad, who returned in recent months will have to wait until the spring before they can start farming, and only then if the current drought eases. It is a microcosm of a nationwide crisis, with the UN World Food Programme warning that across the country only 2% of the population have enough food to eat, and more than half of children under five are at risk from acute malnutrition this year.
Every week, Dr Mohammad Anwar – himself a recently returned IDP – sees increasing numbers of malnourished children in the small private clinic he runs in Marja. "Babies are being brought in half the weight they should be," he says. He estimates that at least 2,000 children across the Marja area are now severely malnourished and at risk of dying.
Gul Khan*, 53, prepares to light the stove using shredded plastic as fuel in the family's home in Kabul. They cannot afford wood to burn so buy sacks of shredded plastic to use instead.
Food shortages are a perennial problem in impoverished rural areas of Afghanistan. Even with outside donor support, the previous government struggled to tackle the issue, but without much of the foreign aid that paid most state salaries, the banking system paralysed by financial sanctions, and a prolonged drought that has withered crops and pastures, the situation is now far worse.
Many IDPs who have returned to Marja and other districts are now deeply in debt, after borrowing money to buy food or repair their homes. Muhammad says he owes shopkeepers and other creditors at least 50,000 Afghanis (£350). "I need food. I need cash, but no one has given us any help so far."
Mohammad Sadiqi, an assistant liaison officer for the United Nation's refugee agency, the UNHCR, in Helmand, says the signs are pointing to "more malnutrition cases in all districts affected by heavy fighting".
"If the situation carries on like this over the winter, most families in Helmand will become poorer than they have ever been, and many will die," he says.
Sediqullah*, 58, with some of his children at the family's temporary accommodation in Kandahar. Sediqullah has 12 in his family including his wife, elderly mother and nine children. The family are from Deh Rawood in Uruzgan Province and fled fighting in their area over the summer.
Working with local partner organisations, the UNHCR is responding to the needs of about 22,000 IDP families that have returned to Helmand. The focus has been on helping them to stay warm this winter as well as supporting them to repair their homes and reintegrate into communities.
A UN-wide $4.4bn (£3.2bn) plan for responding to humanitarian needs in Afghanistan in 2022 was launched on 11 January. If funded, it will scale up delivery of food and agricultural support, health services, emergency shelter and water and sanitation.
Left: The family of Abdul Sattar* at their accommodation in Kabul: his mother, Bibi Khatoon*, and his wife, Safa*, with two of their children, Ahmad Safa, 2, and a 40-day-old son.
Right: Rehman Gul*, 40, with his two-year-old daughter Nazia*, near their home on the outskirts of Kabul. The family fled their home in Jalalabad 10 years ago because of fighting.
The key factor in rising child malnutrition is insufficient food for mothers, says Anwar. "They are not getting enough protein, so they can't feed their children properly." He adds that a lack of clean water – exacerbated by the drought – is also playing a role, leading to diarrhoea and further weight loss.
In their weakened state, malnourished children are more vulnerable to illnesses that can quickly lead to irreversible decline and death. Most children also lack the warm clothes that would provide a defence against subzero winter temperatures. "Some malnourished kids have been getting pneumonia," Anwar says.
He does what he can in his small clinic, but much more assistance is needed, and the root causes of the widespread hunger remain.
The effects of drought are apparent everywhere. Irrigation canals have dried up and crusts of salt cover many fields. The use of solar-powered pumps to tap ground water in order to grow opium – has pushed the water table lower, drying up the soil and leaving salt deposits behind that make it even harder to grow legal crops.
The start of the year finally brought rain, but in such large quantities that it caused flash flooding in both Helmand and neighbouring Kandahar, washing away homes and fields. Much of the water was lost rather than being stored and so any mitigating effect on the drought situation is likely to be temporary.
"All of our youth are leaving," says UNHCR's Mohammad Sadiqi. "What else can they do?"
"If the water stops for good, we'll have to go to Iran or Pakistan," says Fazl Mohammad, another former IDP, who returned to Marja in November. "Or we will just dig graves for ourselves."
Many are already on the move – no longer fleeing war, but the combined effects of climate change and economic collapse. "All of our youth are leaving," says Sadiqi. "What else can they do?"

Logo Lounge is a great site that publishes the most comprehensive information, samples and trends about logo design. It is a members-only site, and as a Logo Lounge member, you can see an enormous and historic selection of logos, along with analytics. However Logo Lounge's 2016 Logo Trend Report is available to the public. Yes!
About Trends and How Long Should a Logo Last?
When I was at Pratt we were taught that a logos should last for a long time—perhaps 25 or 30 years. While I still believe that a logo should be timeless and classic, it also should be timely. A logo should visually represent an idea or concept—it must reflect the personality of the company it represents. Today many companies tend to "re-brand" after 5–10 years. This seems to be more tactical than strategic. Strategy is the roadmap for the long-term.
The following 8 characteristics are essential for creating a hard-working logo.
A synopsis of the Logo Trend 2016 article follows, accompanied by my comments. How many of these logos incorporate the 8 characteristics mentioned above?
Derived from the original article by Logo Lounge with summary adapted from Jacob Cass, Just Creative.
The Ombre trend is stepped color increments—colors that shade into each other, graduating from light to dark, or dark to light. This effect is reminiscent of gradients, which have lost popularity for a number of reasons, including difficulty in printing.
I have been a fan of circle logos for years! It qualifies as a "trend" but it is also classic. Target! Pepsi! Volkswagen! WordPress! London Underground! The 2015 update of the Open Table logo is great—and it tells a story.
This technique delivers visual interest and dimension while keeping it simple and using few colors.
Linking often symbolizes pairing, connecting, mutual effort. It is also visually amusing as our eye continually tries to close the link when left open, as in the examples below.
A box is a good visual container for typography. It helps the words stand out on the page. Boxes and rectangles seem to be trending. But just turn down or round one corner of a square and it becomes much more interesting! It's amazing what the mind does to try to complete what we expect to see.
This is a version of a triangle and a square, two of our most basic shapes and building blocks. These shapes are both familiar and enduring. Add white space or turn them on their side and they become intriguing. Simplicity rules again.
This is an interesting and seeming somewhat retro technique. The dashes can indicate motion, borders, pathways, invisible elements, transparency, scores or secondary tiers.
This is another seemingly retro style, reminiscent of the bouncing movie intro typography of the 60s. Think Pink Panther. It also connotes a bit of a "puzzle" feature or non-conformity.
This is a visual building block that has become popular in recent years. It is not particularly strong visually, and for my taste, a bit too trendy. It is often used with color transparency.
Again, we see the retro theme. Call this one a classic. I like this shape. It harkens back to family crests, kingdoms, shields. This is a strong, memorable shape that has been around forever. Today these marks are simplified and elemental, making them look strong and contemporary.
This is another visually interesting shape that intrigues the eye. This technique takes the familiar and presents it in an unusual way. We are visually memorized. The human eye is always seeking something new!
This technique is somewhat classic and also harder to do well than it might appear. Typography should only be deconstructed by designers who really understand letterforms. The dimensions involved in creating a letterform are very relational and follow conventions developed over hundreds of years. Creating a logo based on a deconstructed letterform can be effective, but it is a challenge to make the letter both symbolic and readable.
This style of logo is completely conceptual and will likely not easily convey meaning to a viewer. Perhaps this style of logo best demonstrates the concept of flexibility, or continuum.
The repetition of sound or movement, either simple or complex, creates a rhythm that helps us to forecast what lies ahead. A repeating shape, the repeating chorus of a song or a repeating textile pattern is peaceful to humans and its is predictive, familiar and understandable.


To fill a serious gap in teaching sound American history unbiased by socialist, anti-American spins.
Give parents an opportunity to impart positive values to their children.
Promote family unity, loyalty, and respect.
In later years, many who had been introduced to the series in the 70's have expressed an interest in gaining access to these lessons. RWU is happy to make them easily available to all via the Internet.

The band Memoryhouse has been on heavy rotation, or I should just say repeat playlist on my Itunes lately. Perfect music for the fall.
Who is Memoryhouse? A little excerpt from their site.
Evan Abeele is a musician who takes his inspiration as a student of the neo-classical and modernist modes of the past century. Denise Nouvion is a photographer-videographer who focuses on the blurred boundaries of the moment, of memory, and of what will manifest. With a shared common aesthetic to their creative output, it was only natural for these Ontario artists to collaborate. Their music seeks to render this blending of the contemporary with the forgotten, the traditional and the technological, the visual and the aural, within the sonographic landscapes of pop music.

Flahive History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The Irish surnames in use today are underpinned by a multitude of rich histories. The name Flahive originally appeared in Gaelic as "O Flaithbheartaigh," which means "bright ruler."
Early Origins of the Flahive family
The surname Flahive was first found in Connemara (Irish : Conamara), which derives from Conmhaicne Mara (meaning: descendants of Con Mhac, of the sea)), County Galway in Connacht where the name claims descent from Flaithbertaigh Ua Flaithbertaigh, King of Connacht, who died 1098. Flaithbertaigh was the first bearer of the surname O'Flaherty, and was Lord of Maigh Seola in what is now County Galway. [1]
"The O'Flahertys were originally located in the Barony of Clare, County Galway, but in the thirteenth century, having been expelled from this territory, they settled in the Barony of Moycullen, and were styled Lords of lar Conacht or West Connaught. A large number of the Flahertys are now to be found in the Baronies of Moycullen, Ross, and Ballinahinch, in County Galway." [2]
Another source gives this background about the family: "This family, whose tribe name was Muintir Murchadha, traced their descent from Flaibheartach, twenty-second in descent from Eochaidh Muighmeadhon, king of Ireland, who died in 366. They were at first settled in Magh Seola, to the east of Lough Corrib, but in the thirteenth century were driven from their original home by the O'Connors, and conquered a new territory in West Connaught from Lough Corrib to the sea. There were several septs of the clan." [3]
Early History of the Flahive family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Flahive research. Another 135 words (10 lines of text) covering the years 1377, 1407, 1593, 1589, 1629 and 1718 are included under the topic Early Flahive History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Flahive Spelling Variations
Numerous spelling variations of the surname Flahive exist. A partial explanation for these variants is that ancient scribes and church officials recorded names as they were pronounced, often resulting in a single person being recorded under several different spellings. Different spellings that were found include Flaherty, O'Flaherty, Flaverty, Laverty, Faherty and many more.
Early Notables of the Flahive family (pre 1700)
Notable amongst the family name at this time was Áedh Ó Flaithbheartaigh, (c. 1377?-1407), Taoiseach of Iar Connacht and Chief of the Name; Murrough na dTuadh Ó Flaithbheartaigh, (died 1593), Chief of Iar Connacht; Teige Ó Flaithbheartaigh (died 1589), an...

Flahive migration to Canada +
The 19th century saw a great wave of Irish migrating out of their homeland in a great measure due to the oppressive imperial policies of the English government and landowners. Many of these Irish families sailed to North America aboard overcrowded passenger ships. By far, the largest influx of Irish immigrants to North America occurred with Great Potato Famine during the late 1840s. These particular immigrants were instrumental in creation of the United States and Canada as major industrial nations because the many essential elements such as the roadways, canals, bridges, and railways required an enormous quantity of cheap labor, which these poor immigrants provided. Later generations of Irish in these countries also went on to make valuable contributions in such fields as the arts, commerce, politics, and education. Extensive research into immigration and passenger lists has revealed many early immigrants bearing the name Flahive:

Swan Shadow: the debut of Nautor's Swan in the motor yacht market
Nautor's Swan, launches a new project, the celebrated Finnish luxury sailing yacht constructor, is once again pushing its limits by entering the motor boat market with Swan Shadow. Born from the passion that Leonardo Ferragamo has for the marine world, the Swan Shadow is broadening the range of vessels the Finnish yard offers to its customers, perfectly aligned with the core elements of its brand DNA: Performance, Quality, Elegance.
"For so many years we've been thinking about launching a power boat, but we always resisted this temptation until we really felt we had something really special and unique to present. And this is what is happening with Swan Shadow. She is full of the ingredients we believe in, and we are confident that we are going to make an important statement in the power yacht segment". Leonardo Ferragamo, President.
These core elements, and the values of design and innovation deeply rooted in Nautor's heritage, are also at the base of the concept of Swan Shadow, destined to become a timeless icon. The new model is marking the completion of the Nautor's Swan portfolio and product lineup with a multipurpose motor yacht concept able to meet Nautor's customer needs, and to reach a performance of up to 55 knots top speed.
"The concept of Swan Shadow is coming from the interaction we have with our owners and discussion about the experience of sailing. The conclusion has been that the need for a 'chase boat' to provide an added dimension to Swan yacht ownership was becoming stronger and stronger". says Giovanni Pomati, Nautor Group CEO. "Today, with Swan Shadow, it seems we have managed to develop a new concept: she's not only a chase boat but a powerboat embodying the core values of Nautor's Swan, answering broader Owner needs like lifestyle enhancement and pride of ownership and able to open up a wider market".
"The Nautor's Swan heritage and the Design DNA of their vessels were already well known to me and the team, having worked on the design of the ClubSwan 50 previously in collaboration with Nautor and Juan K. We understood the main design features to carry over from the Swan performance racing yachts and incorporated into this power boat design. This is a leap to a different product category to what Nautor is accustomed to, and a lot of thought also went into thinking about the lifestyle and the different use cases for
these vessels. Together we wanted to create something sporty and fun, without compromising on the elegance customers have grown to expect from a Swan.
Performance is an equally important part of Nautor's heritage, and this needs to be factored in when designing the product. We have different options in the range from a short and light-weight T-top to a more substantial, convertible Limousine tender. We also use a bolt-on system on deck that allows for multiple different furniture layouts. With this type of a versatile design, we rely heavily on computational fluid dynamics simulation (CFD) to optimise the performance in all of the various product configurations."
JARKKO JÄMSÉN, Swan Shadow Designer
There are several innovative elements in the design, all aimed at enhancing the experience for the Owner. Nautor's Design DNA is built on a strong heritage and Swan Shadow has to meet the expectations of a clientele accustomed to luxury and performance sailing yachts. The design of Shadow incorporates features that customers might generally expect to see in larger full-custom or semi-custom yachts, features that are not too common in 40-foot powerboats.
One of these features is a movable aft platform, transforming a visually simple design from a fixed platform to a swim platform or a passarelle. The adoption of a movable platform allows better access to the water when enjoying watersports, or easier access to the dock when the vessel is used as a tender. Another design feature is the addition of optional telescopic roof pillars and moving glass panels to create a convertible cabin. This allows the boat to be used either fully open or closed for privacy and comfort during
bad weather.
This vessel is primarily addressed to the more discerning Owners of motor yachts or sailing yachts who are looking for a tender to their main vessels. In addition, Swan Shadow has been conceived to easily accommodate an overnight or weekend trip to the archipelago. In keeping with the original aim of versatility and focusing on user experience, the layout also fits an additional crew cabin in the bow.
"By making an analysis of the competitors we understood that most of the products currently on the market are limited to just a single specific usage of the boat. Swan Shadow is designed to fill the void of a true multipurpose yacht and provides a powerboat that can meet all the owners' needs, giving the opportunity to choose and change on demand the accessories that define its use. We created the perfect BESPOKE yacht in 40 feet!!!". States Roy Capasso, Swan Shadow Project Leader and Commercial Director.
The Swan Shadow features a unique walkaround deck plan with no steps, for experiencing and enjoying the spaces in full safety. A smart bolt-on system allows for several different optional deck layouts. The design is centered around these optional layouts, allowing the owner to select the best suited option according to his personal lifestyle. The position of the three outboard engines, from 225 to 350 HP, embedded in the aft platform extends the livable area on deck, and the open stern gives a sensation of closeness to the water, perfectly suited for a boat designed to enjoy the very best of the sea.
Roof options range from a shorter T-Top to an extended Long Top that allows more protection from the elements. The Long Top option can also be equipped with telescopic pillars to work as a convertible Limousine version for added privacy and comfort. Generous storage is built in under deck, and additional topside bags can be selected to offer more storage volume under the bulwark, allowing handy and safe access to gear while cruising.
THE INTERIORS
The interior has been designed to ensure maximum comfort and style onboard, offering accommodation for either shorter day trips or a longer cruises. The forward cabin is ideally suited for a couple. An additional crew cabin can be installed in the bow to complement the cabin capacity. The interior styling follows the timeless and classic style of Nautor's Swan interiors, representing a pareddown design and simplified approach that focuses on the essential: carefully designed and well-executedspaces created using top quality materials.


Imagine what you could do with forty bucks a day If you can't visualize anyone making both ends meet with that measly salary, then chances are, your contractors can't do that too. But there are cost of living differences right? You bet. Yet, that doesn't mean that they can live and support families with your peanuts. If you already have that distorted view of currency leveraging, correct it by doing a short research.
When you pay your contractors with a comfortable sum, they won't work with worried minds and churning stomachs. Thus, you'll get an output that is really worth more than what you paid for.
When you hire a virtual assistant, he won't only spend time doing his main job, he will also spend that billed hours for invoicing, filing taxes, and answering your calls and e-mails. An hour of doing his main job is not actually an hour. If that's the case, he'll get no choice but to spend lesser time for the quality of your given task.
The solution for this one is simple. If you're paying ten bucks for an hour, give him fifteen for an hour and thirty minutes. That way, he'll have an allowance time for miscellaneous tasks and still have an hour to perfect the quality of the real stuff.
Intellectual labor is expensive unlike physical labor. Now, you may have a clue that the $5 you paid was just for the effort of clacking on the keyboard. There's no mind on it.
If you want to pay for typing, give five bucks. But if you want them to really think about what they're writing or coding, better pay the necessary extra bills than suffer with an output you wouldn't want to use for anything.
Before you name a lowball price, think if they should've worked for McDonald's instead. If you think they could get the same sum by working on a low-end job, better check if they're doing two contracts at the same time. They do? Oh, you can't blame them.
This review by Outsource-Philippines concluded that the best way to keep a loyal team of workers is to give what is due of your required work. Haggling the pay may seem to make a smart move at first, but in the end, it will reflect on the quality of the output.

Directors disqualification
Insolvency service
Disqualification of directors
This section covers general information you may require regarding the directors disqualification process.
What is directors disqualification?
Directors disqualification is the process whereby a person is disqualified, for a specified period, from becoming a director of a company, or directly or indirectly being concerned or taking part in the promotion, formation or management of a company without leave of the Court.
A disqualification order is made by the High Court under the Company Directors Disqualification (Northern Ireland) Order 2002.
The Order applies not only to a person who has been formally appointed as a director but also to shadow directors, and those people who have carried out the functions of a director.
Without specific permission of the Court it disqualifies a person from:
becoming a director of a company
directly or indirectly being concerned or taking part in the promotion, formation or management of a company
being a liquidator or an administrator of a company
being a receiver or manager of a company's property
Disqualification proceedings are taken under civil law, not criminal law, but a criminal court may also decide to make a disqualification order after conviction for certain criminal offences.
How long will I be disqualified for?
An order for disqualification can be made under a number of different Articles of the Company Directors Disqualification (Northern Ireland) Order 2002. The order will specify the period of disqualification. For orders made against an unfit director of an insolvent company, there is a minimum period of two years and a maximum of 15 years.
On 5 September 2003 disqualification undertakings were introduced, which allowed directors, with the agreement of the Department, to avoid the need for a court hearing by offering an acceptable disqualification undertaking. This has exactly the same legal effect as a disqualification order made by the court, and will usually include a schedule identifying the directors unfit conduct. The consequences of breaching a disqualification undertaking are the same as those for breaching a disqualification order.
When can disqualification occur?
When a company has failed, the Official Receiver (or Insolvency Practitioner in a creditors' voluntary liquidation, an administrative receivership or an administration) sends the Department a report on the conduct of all directors who were in office in the last three years of the company's trading.
The Department has to decide whether it is in the public interest to seek a disqualification order. Any application is heard and decided by the Court.
This involves consideration of a number of factors including the protection of the public, the nature of the allegations at issue, the directors responsibility in respect of such allegations together with any aggravating or mitigating factors and the prospect of success of proceedings should they issue.
The Department considers the nature of any matters of unfitness and their impact, not only to the date of the insolvency but also the effect a disqualification might have as a deterrent or in protection of the public.
The Department also takes into account any other relevant factors such as personal losses incurred, the period trading, and the age and state of health of the directors.
Conduct which may lead to disqualification
Examples of conduct which may lead to disqualification:
continuing to trade to the detriment of creditors at a time when the company was insolvent
failure to keep proper accounting records
failure to prepare and file accounts or make returns to the Companies Registry
failure to submit tax returns or pay over to the Crown tax or other money due
failure to co-operate with the OR/IP
How will I know if a disqualification order is to be sought against me?
Notification of a decision to apply for a disqualification order will be sent to the last address provided to the Companies Registry or to the Official Receiver/Insolvency Practitioner.
The application for disqualification has to be made within three years of the date of the winding-up order (or any earlier voluntary liquidation, administrative receivership or administration), unless the Court extends the time.
What happens after an application for disqualification is made?
The Department files its application in the High Court supported by one or more affidavits containing evidence of unfit conduct of the directors and sends a copy to the directors.
The directors will have the opportunity to give the Court explanations or reasons for their actions - and may do so in a replying affidavit. The High Court will then decide whether the conduct makes the directors unfit to act in the management of a company and, if so, for how long they should be disqualified.
At any stage in these proceedings you may give an undertaking to the Department that has the same effect as a disqualification order and such an undertaking will normally put a stop to the Court proceedings.

Kamile Kapel
Band Folk Cabaret
Share Kamile Kapel's EPK!
"Collected Sounds: A Guide to Women in Music"
"Kamile Kapel comes from Canada and makes beautiful and strange music. "Queen of Your Heart" is a cabaret-tinged, wistful gem. Kapel's gorgeous vocals are framed by some music that sounds like it was played by refugees from the great Taraf de Haiduks from Romania. . . "Kiss The Ground" is a truly inspired and heartfelt record."
- Anna Maria Stjärnell
"The Chutzpah Festival, 2004"
"We were very pleased to have Kamile Kapel as part of Chutzpah! 2004 : The Lisa Nemetz Showcase of Jewish Performing Arts. Kamile is a performance artist who, like a puppeteer, plays with our emotions through her tapestry of original and witty words, dramatic music and effortless theatrics.
She is an artist who brings us into her ever changing emotional landscapes and takes us for a touching, laughter laced, romantic ride.
A relative unknown to Chutzpah!, Kamile received enthusiastic reviews from our audiences. She certainly created a buzz."
- Janos Maté
"Terminal City Weekly"
Review of the One Woman show:"Quirky, kooky numbers from a New Age flake. Kapel isn't actually a flake at all, but has created a rich persona building on and playing up her fascinating libertarian beatnik/hippie/lesbian commune childhood, through to her bell-ringing, mantra-droning, seaweed-chewing quest for love, happiness, and the meaning of life. Her songs are part jazz, part smoky back-room dead-end dive, part carnival, many of them utilising the poetry of Rumi, a 13th century poet whose words fit neatly into modernity."
- Alan Hindle
"Founder of The Winnipeg Folk Festival"
"When I received Kamile Kapel's tape along with 105 others for the BC Festival of the Arts, I listened to it six times. "Who IS this person?" I kept asking myself. "She's crazy. And I really like her."
- Mitch Podolak
"Instructor, Entertainment Business Management Program AiCDIS"
"A charming and engaging live performer whose jazzy riffs suggest the love child of Tori Amos and Tom Waits, channeling Rumi."
- Ken Ashdown
"Award winning Composer and Pianist"
"There is kind of full capacity joy that comes from Kamile's music when she is performing. This feeling is contagious and the audience immediately feels like they're participating in a very memorable musical event. She has a natural sense of humour and flow to her performance that is very engaging and fosters total participation by the audience-in terms of the heart and the mind."
- Paul Plimley
"Poet and Songwriter"
"Six of the songs on Kamile Kapel's new CD are based on poems by Rumi, a 13th Century Persian mystic. "Kiss the Ground" gives us a whole new way to indulge in Rumi, this juiciest of all master poets. Anyone who already knows Rumi, get ready for a wild ride. Anyone who doesn't, come on in, your life will never be the same."
- Mark Borax
Kiss the Ground, 2003.
Kamile is a unique performer in that she combines a lilting, soulful voice a la Sarah McLauchlan/Natalie Merchant/Beth Orton with an outrageous sense of humour and theatrical stage presence reminiscent of Bette Midler or even Woody Allen. Kamile has a way of stripping away at the surface of things and revealing a human chord that touches us all. Other influences include: Peter Gabriel, Dido, Alanis Morrisette, VedaHille, Carol King and Janis Joplin.

Jacksonville Resident Charged in Silencer Case
posted by Alan McBride - Dec 5, 2017
Authorities in Jacksonville announced the arrest and filing of a criminal complaint against an immigrant from the Philippines Monday.
The FBI in Jacksonville said 69-year-old Bernandino Bolatete was plotting a mass shooting at a northeast Florida mosque.
Investigators said the arrest was the end result of a joint investigation with several agencies.
Officials said that, so far, they were charging Bolatete only with knowingly receiving and possessing a silencer not registered to him in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
According to the criminal complaint, on November 27 of this year, Bolatete asked for assistance in purchasing a firearm silencer from an undercover detective from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Officials said Bolatete specified that, to avoid government scrutiny, he did not want any paperwork associated with the sale.
On December 1, authorities say Bolatete took possession of a silencer after the undercover detective sold it to him for $100 and he was subsequently arrested.

Niven History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The roots of the name Niven are found among the Strathclyde-Briton people of the ancient Scottish/English Borderlands. Niven was originally found in Ayrshire. The surname Niven was also regarded as derived from the Gaelic patronymic Mac Naoimhin, which is derived from the word "naomh," meaning "little saint." The name was a favorite personal name in Galloway and Ayrshire. [1] [2]
Another source claims the name "points to an early but forgotten personal name," [3] but the lion's share of sources point to the aforementioned "little saint" origin.
Early Origins of the Niven family
The surname Niven was first found in Ayrshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Inbhir Àir), formerly a county in the southwestern Strathclyde region of Scotland, where the first record of the family appeared in the Latin form Nevinus, who was parson of Neveth and witnessed grant of a saltpan in Rosneath to the monks of Paisley, c. 1230. [1]
"Patrick filius Nevyn mentioned in 1284 is doubtless Patrick fiz John Nevyn or Neivin of Lanerkshire who rendered homage, 1296. Thomas filius Neuini served on an inquest in 1295, another Thomas filius Nyuini or Niuini was a tenant in Garvalde, 1376, and Crunyhatoun was leased to Robert filius Niuini in the same year." [1]
Some of the family ventured south into England where as a forename Neuyn filius Ade was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Cumberland in 1332 and Thomas filius Neuini was listed in 1295. [4]

Niven Spelling Variations

Niven migration to the United States +
The freedom, opportunity, and land of the North American colonies beckoned. There, Scots found a place where they were generally free from persecution and where they could go on to become important players in the birth of new nations. Some fought in the American War of Independence, while others went north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. The ancestors of all of these Scottish settlers have been able to recover their lost national heritage in the last century through highland games and Clan societies in North America. Among them:
