Explainer Videos for Business: Do Companies Need Them?
Whether you've just started your business or have already established a steady income, you always need to update and work on your marketing strategy. You have to spare some time to observe how other business owners promote their companies as well as products or services, then use what you've learned to help improve your own marketing strategy and increase the outcome of your production.
You may have found all sorts of media that's worked in the past, but we believe there's always an opportunity to grow for creative people who think outside the box.
Why do you need explainer videos for business?
If you want to improve your online marketing strategy with new tools, amazing explainer videos are an out of the box solution for you. They combine moving text, graphics, animation, still images and any other media you'd like to use to describe your business. Using an explainer video is a great way to help potential buyers understand what you do without having to read a chunk of text.
When it comes to design, there are a variety of video styles to choose from: whiteboard, motion graphics, 3D animation, kinetic typography and many more.
Essentially an explainer video is an easy way to guide your audience through the origins of your product while keeping them captivated with unique animation, catchy music, and resources of information.
In this blog, I'll talk about whether you really need one.
CISCO predicted that video downloads would use up 90% of bandwidth by the year 2020, compared to approximately 50% now. This means more and more people are watching videos, which is good news for your company IF you are using an explainer to promote your business.
How do you know if you need an explainer video for your business?
Every business starts when the founders find an idea to solve a problem. Whether you run a construction company, car rental, or book publishing firm — you believe that your business is the best solution for your customers, but remember — you have competitors! How can you assure your potential customers that you offer better solutions than your competitors?
Explain to them how your brand works to solve their problems better than your competitors.
These two tasks are not simple.
Basically, people tend to only seek the information they need. An animated explainer video is content that helps you provide that information through a well-written script. Using a quality explainer video for your business can dramatically increase sales and conversion rates. And guess what, your audience will also be able to share your message with other people they know who may need your product.
Explaining something you also sell can be tricky. You want to sell something or deliver ideas to your audience, but mere words can't explain everything. It can be a difficult task to do if you have a new product or a startup business.
An animated explainer is the best way to achieve the goals above. You can create a video which is informative, yet interesting and fun. You can create a story with characters, play with texts and animated silhouettes, or use another innovative idea! An animated video can help you explain what you do to your audience easily and in an engaging way.
Animated explainers might cost a big portion of your marketing budget because let's face it, video production is very time-consuming — not to mention the required software licenses. But making an animated video guarantees you a high Return On Investment (ROI).
So if you are planning a new company, working on a new product, or thinking about an innovative campaign to maximize your business capacity, including explainer videos in your promotion budget will be one of the best investments you've ever made.
We created an infographic that will help you decide quickly whether your business really needs an explainer video. Feel free to embed it on your site, we've pasted the embed code just below the infographic!
Contact us to see what we've got to offer! Our team is made up of professional animators and illustrators with brains full of creativity.

In 2004 Dr. Lawrence Brown had an idea for a new and innovative orthotic. Using a poypropelene insole, he put a piece of his pools solar cover on the bottom of the insoles, and found that walking around with them for several days relieved some of his back pain. He than contacted the worlds leader in bubblewrap manufacturing, SEALED AIR. Partnering with his friend, world renowned Obstetrician Dr.Bernard Gonik, they began a research project at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. They tested the new insoles on 44 pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy. The results were positive and the MaternaSole™ was born!
The MaternaSole™ insole was perfected after years of R&D. An unbreakable plastic bubble material was developed along with a unique process of adhering it to a high quality poly insole. Three different sizes to fit women's size 6 to 11. Our hi-tech manufacturing technique allows us to deliver the MaternaSole™ to you at a remarkable price!

Iraq signs key oil deal
Iraq agrees terms with British and Chinese companies to develop Rumaila oilfield.
Thu Oct 08 2009 21:27:35 GMT+0000
Iraq's oil minister said a second round of bidding for Iraqi oil contracts is due in December [AFP]
Production boost
The venture, expected to cost between $14 and 20bn, is expected to boost production at the southern Rumaila field from the current one million barrels a day (bpd) to around 2.8 million bpd over its 20-year duration.
Focus: The scramble for Iraq's 'sweet oil'
Iraqi oil for sale
Rumaila is already vital to Iraq's output, contributing almost half the nation's oil production of about 2.5m bpd.
BP and CNPC were the only companies to win a bid when Iraq offered eight contracts in a June auction. The companies agreed to receive only two dollars a barrel to operate Rumaila, which has known reserves of 17.7 billion barrels.
It is the first big upstream deal between Iraq and foreign oil companies since nationalisation of the country's industry about 40 years ago.
Oil contracts
Under the contract, Iraq's State Oil Marketing Organisation will be allocated Baghdad's 25 per cent stake, while BP will take 38 per cent and CNPC hold the remaining 37 per cent.
The plan to increase production envisages a 10 per cent increase within a year and raising the field's output by 300,000-400,000 bpd within three to four years, the Middle East Economic Survey (MEES) reported last week.
The second round of bidding for Iraqi oil contracts is due in the first half of December, Hussein al-Shahristani, Iraq's oil minister, said last month.

A house favorite, the Rwanda Kanzu is back on the menu. A few years ago, when we first tasted and introduced this coffee to our listing we knew it was special. The coffee is velvety smooth and has all of the complexity that we look for in a cup. When importer Red Fox came for a visit last fall and put this coffee on a blind cupping table, our taste buds found it and all the nostalgia came rushing back. We're honored to get to share one of our favorite coffees with you!
The award-winning Kanzu washing station is located in the southwest area of Lake Kivu in Nyamasheke, Rwanda. Kanzu is situated amidst steep mountain inclines. The combination of high altitude, volcanic soil and temperate climate is a perfect recipe for growing specialty coffee, Rwanda's largest export.
Hundreds of small-holder farmers from the surrounding valley bring their cherries to Kanzu for washing. The coffee is fermented for 24 hours, fully washed, then after soaking for 12 hours it is laid on raised beds for drying. The Kanzu washing station is also known for its diligence in separating out day lots. This offering is Kanzu Lot 7. The coffee is an heirloom Bourbon variety grown at an altitude of 1,900-2,100 MASL.
We love this cup for all the subtle fruit flavors of mango, golden raisin, date and red grape that we taste over a honey and toffee finish. The cup is smooth and complex all at the same time.

R450A increases efficiency in CO2 cascade
SPAIN: Honeywell is having further success in deploying lower GWP HFO refrigerant blend R450A in combination with CO2 in cascade refrigeration systems.
The latest installation is at a 12,000m² refrigerated distribution centre operated by Spanish food cooperative Covirán in Coslada, Madrid.
Covirán is made up of more than 2,800 small and medium-sized independent retailers and is the second largest in Spain in terms of sales, and number three in Portugal. In 2014, Covirán had over 3,245 supermarkets in the Iberian Peninsula.
Covirán worked closely with its Logroño-based specialist partner Systemfrost to develop a solution that would combine best-in-class performance with sustainability. Systemfrost designed a cascade system utilising R450A – an HFO/HFC blend with a GWP of 601, marketed by Honeywell as Solstice N13 – and CO2. It was designed to meet key criteria around energy efficiency, emissions reduction and refrigeration performance.
A blend of 42% R134a and 58% HFO1234ze(E), R450A has a GWP of around 601, less than half that of R134a. The total charge of R450A in the Covirán system is 1,020kg.
The new refrigeration installation designed by Systemfrost includes three freezer rooms, one dual-temperature room and a large, chilled dispatch area.
The system is expected to reduce annual energy consumption by more than 3% and achieve lower direct carbon dioxide emissions of 60% annual compared to a similar system using R134a, the traditional refrigerant used in such applications.
Describing R450A as being easy to handle, Systemfrost engineer Eloy Moreno said, "We considered the customer's request to improve carbon footprint and worked closely with engineering consultant Tewis to accommodate the lowest possible GWP refrigerant into the most efficient design. So far, the results have been very positive."
Tewis is a Spanish-based leading specialist international refrigeration energy consultancy. It pioneered work with R450A in an installation to replace R404A in a Dia supermarket in Valencia last year (Spanish store first to test new R404a drop-in).
A similar application of R450A in a CO2 cascade system was included in an Auchan hypermarket near Paris in 2013.
R450A replaces R134a in CO2 cascade system


Exactly as planned, which almost never happens with weight loss of any kind.
Ran/walked another 5k this morning in another fun-run event, this time for a Children's Hospital. Started at 8 am on the other side of the valley from here. (Meant getting up about the time I used to go to bed when living on the coast.
Course was hilly, so my time ended up about the same as the last two. I need to drop more weight before the time will really improve.
But I did walk 43 miles in steps last week. Average about 12,300 steps a day. Best week so far.
Now if the writing would just crank back up and hit cruise like the exercise and weight-loss, I would be very happy.
And before you ask what I am doing to lose weight, it is simple. I eat anything I want, but in moderation. A lot of protein. And I move around more.
Wow – that is awesome, Dean! I go back and forth on diets, it always ends in my desire for certain foods overwhelming my desire to lose weight. Walking and just eating a little less sounds worth trying.
Yup, I never deprive myself of any kind of food. In fact, a couple nights a week we eat pizza. And I have chips while watching a show at night. But not a bag of chips, a bowl of chips with only one serving in the bowl. The key is portion size. And handing a half-eaten plate of food to a waitress to take away. I like protein, so my snacks are a protein bar, or shake, and I like most vegetables and fruit, so good there.
Also I count steps and calories, keeping my total of calories for the day around 1200 which (with the 10-12000 steps per day) sets me on a two pounds per week loss rate, which is as high as most doctors think is healthy. (My doc thinks it is perfect for me.) I think, honestly, the reason I have managed it at 10 weeks now is that I had a lot of surface, easy-to-get-rid-of weight and this will get rougher for the next twenty pounds and really rough for the last ten. We shall see.

Q: How computer driven ignition timing on gas engines work? I have been dabbling with writing a C++ program that would control spark timing on a gas engine and have been running in to some trouble.  My code is very simple.  It starts by creating a second thread that works to emulate the output signal of a Hall Effect sensor that is triggered once per engine revolution.  My main code processes the fake sensor output, recalculates engine rpm, and then determines the time necessary to wait for the crankshaft to rotate to the correct angle to send spark to the engine.  The problem I'm running into is that I am using a sleep function in milliseconds and at higher RPM's I am losing a significant amount of data.
My question is how are real automotive ECU's programed to be able to control spark at high RPM's accurately?
My code is as follows:
#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <process.h>
#include <fstream>
#include "GetTimeMs64.cpp"

using namespace std;

void HEEmulator(void * );

int HE_Sensor1;

int *sensor;

HANDLE handles[1];

bool run;
bool *areRun;

int main( void )
{
    int sentRpm = 4000;

    areRun = &run;

    sensor = &HE_Sensor1;

    *sensor = 1;

    run = TRUE;

    int rpm, advance, dwell, oHE_Sensor1, spark;

    oHE_Sensor1 = 1;

    advance = 20;

    uint64 rtime1, rtime2, intTime, curTime, sparkon, sparkoff;

    handles[0] = (HANDLE)_beginthread(HEEmulator, 0, &sentRpm);

    ofstream myfile;
    myfile.open("output.out");

    intTime = GetTimeMs64();
    rtime1 = intTime;
    rpm = 0;
    spark = 0;
    dwell = 10000;
    sparkoff = 0;

    while(run == TRUE)

A: A desktop PC is not a real-time processing system.
When you use Sleep to pause a thread, you don't have any guarantees that it will wake up exactly after the specified amount of time has elapsed. The thread will be marked as ready to resume execution, but it may still have to wait for the OS to actually schedule it. From the documentation of the Sleep function:

Note that a ready thread is not guaranteed to run immediately. Consequently, the thread may not run until some time after the sleep interval elapses.

Also, the resolution of the system clock ticks is limited.
To more accurately simulate an ECU and the attached sensors, you should not use threads. Your simulation should not even depend on the passage of real time. Instead, use a single loop that updates the state of your simulation (both ECU and sensors) with each tick. This also means that your simulation should include the clock of the ECU.

People get into some pretty weird stuff these days, like not washing their clothes. As with many trends, I thought the idea of being dirty was stupid when I first heard about it, but am now beginning to accept it in my own way. The most popular form of this fad is something called "raw denim." Raw denim is Latin for "unwashed jeans." If you buy raw denim, you're not allowed to wash it, and you're supposed to wear the same jeans every single day for at least a month to wear them in. The greatest advantage of wearing raw denim is that other raw denim wearers will respect you for being like them.
You may have noticed that they don't match. This is how you know they're authentic.
I can't remember which brand of socks they are, but it doesn't matter because it's a really obscure brand that you've probably never heard of.
I can't wait to see what they look like after I've been wearing them for a full year!
I don't know what the occasion is, but you're surely kidding. Right?
I think it's hilarious that this post followed one about dry cleaning.
BTW, nice wear on the socks, but it's pretty obvious this is your first pair. Not sanforized, but doesn't look like you soaked in the tub with them either. I don't want to discourage you but maybe you should check out some of what's going on in the forums before you start blogging at 25 weeks.

The Lord Bishop of St Albans: May I push the Minister a little more on the whole question of rural housing? Only 12% of the rural housing stock is social housing, compared with 19% in urban areas. How exactly are Her Majesty's Government going to increase the level of rural social housing over the coming years?

"What do you think about Ronald Reagan?" Reagan was running for president.
This was not a personal release for my animated bus buddy. As governor, Reagan had closed all of the states mental hospitals and as president would defund most of the national mental health program.

Home › Why harvest and use pure rainwater?
Why harvest and use pure rainwater?
Harvesting rainwater has long been the norm in rural areas that reticulated water doesn't reach, yet it's still not common in New Zealand's urban areas. We lag far behind Australia, where drought and pressure on water supply are motivating changes in household water use and government subsidies for rainwater collection. More than half of Adelaide households have rainwater tanks for example.
There's a lot to consider about how you harvest rainwater. But for urban households already connected to reticulated water, first you need to consider why you might do that.
Your family needs water to survive an emergency. That's the single most compelling reason to have some means to harvest rainwater. Urban water researcher Martin Payne lives in Wellington city, where water comes from Kaitoke in the Hutt Valley. "The pipeline is about 45 km long and it crosses a major fault line three times. In an earthquake, it is very likely the network will be significantly affected. It may be years before some houses can be connected to the water network again."
How much water do you need in an emergency? Some guidelines say three litres per person per day, but that's the absolute bare minimum for short-term survival, says Martin. WHO guidelines call for 20–40 litres.
A four-person household may need at least 80 litres of water per day. "That's 80 kilos you have to transport, every day, in whatever containers you have available," warns Martin. "In my opinion, that's what will drive half the population out of the city following an emergency."
Harvesting rainwater from your own roof is a way to get around water restrictions applied by local bodies in many parts of the country. Many local bodies have introduced water meters, so reducing your use of town supply will save money on water charges.
However, there are bigger issues that go beyond a simple dollar calculation. "City surfaces are increasingly impermeable, so rainwater becomes stormwater and it's shed quickly," says Martin. High volumes are released quickly into urban streams, disturbing the ecosystem and reducing water quality.
There's a lot of infrastructure and cost involved in treating reticulated water to drinking water quality – but very little of that water is used for drinking. Much of it is used to flush toilets.
Martin's modelling suggests that a Wellington household with a modest 1000–3000 litre rainwater tank (plumbed to the laundry, toilet and outside taps), combined with reasonably efficient water use, could still halve its use of potable water.
Rainwater may be preferable to town supply in places where reticulated water is poor quality. And some organic gardeners prefer to use rainwater rather than chlorinated town water on their gardens.


Sometimes I get in a funk where I feel like I have no purpose…..I love my job, i'ts just how I feel sometimes when I haven't done anything for myself. That's why I need to have an outlet to say I've done something for myself today and to clear my mind.
If you still haven't found your outlet and are still figuring it out, a tip and trick is to think of what you always wanted to be and educate yourself about it. If you've always wanted to be a singer, sing! go on YouTube and get some free vocal tips and write songs. If you've wanted to be an astrologist, map out the stars and constellations and EDUCATE YO-SELF. You can do whatever you want and be good at it without school, It just takes hard studying/practicing.
Andie, YOU can do anything if YOU just put your mind to it.- my dad.
My dad has told me this so many times, and it took me a while to realize that I can do anything. I think that's why I'm now bombarding myself with work, school,Mandarin, guitar, painting, Adobe Suite etc. To do all these things I just take up an hour or more a day to learn and practice to do them and I have so much fun doing it.
I've always known I wanted to be a creator of some form of art. At this point in my life I know that becoming a creator won't bring enough cash MULA to maintain my lifestyle.. so for now I guess I'm a Law Clerk…. My outlet is painting at the park or Madhouse cafe or any cafe (but that one is my favorite).
Yesterday after work I knew that I needed to paint when I was in my little funk, and after spending an hour at the park, I was so motivated to do so much more. So I practiced some guitar and worked on finger placement. My lesson taught me to play the beginning of I Can't Get No Satisfaction, and I made sure to show everyone my two second guitar riff.
The importance of friendship means so much to me especially because they have always been such a great support system and even family to me. I value so much time with my friends and making new ones, because you never know when you will see them last. Same thing goes for family!…. call your mom often.
Sometimes my friends and I go to a cafe to play Speed (card game), paint and make music together or sing together and play the ukulele. I really can do anything with my friends and be content, just seeing them and talking to them is an instant mood booster.
In conclusion, find time to do the thing that make you happy because no is stopping you and even if you think you're SOO BUSY… you can spend 5 min to do literally anything. Also make time for socialization of any sort because we are a social species. Put yourself out there and make some new acquaintances who can potentially turn into friends..It doesn't hurt.
In a way this blog is my other outlet and I really enjoy doing it .This is what works for me and hopefully this helps you. Have a great day and I hope you liked this post.
This is good advice. I just spent ten long years caring for my mom while she died from Alzheimer's Disease. Now I realize how short life really is, and I try to enjoy each day.
Thank you. WordPress is not notifying me of these messages for some reason, so I am just reading them.


I've never heard of Stefano Spataro, an Italian improve musician, not did I hear about his moniker Solquest, nor did I hear of the Nillacat records. But I am a Facebook friend of Monte Trent Allen from the wonderful band Rollerball (and their furious side-band Moodring).
Monte posted this link on the wall, leading to a free download of I Get To Live In Your Past by Solquest.
This is an interesting collection of improvised music, with touches of jazz, avantgarde, squeaks and cracks. Really undefinable. To me it sounds like a lost zombies film soundtrack from the seventies, something that will suit Bruno Nicolai or maybe Alejandro Jodorowsky's soundtracks.
Anyway it's a very cool album for fans of the genre.

Maltol assessed: Toxic enhancer determined by FAAS
Author: David Bradley
Channels: Atomic
Ultrasound extraction
Simple ultrasound extraction followed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) of food samples can be used to quickly determine concentrations of the potentially toxic flavour enhancer maltol.
Maltol (3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one) can be found in coffee, baked cereals, bread crusts, and caramelized foods, It can also be sourced through sucrose pyrolysis or thermal degradation of starch. It acts as a potent flavour enhancer for many foods and beverages. However, it shows a dose-dependent toxicity mediated through programmed cell death, apoptosis, which can be a problem if the maltol is present in high concentrations or a person is consuming a lot of products containing this substance. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) have suggested that a maximum of 2 milligrams per kilogram body mass each day is an acceptable upper limit for human consumption of maltol. A higher dose is purportedly associated with headaches, nausea, vomiting, and neurotoxic effects.
Writing in the journal Food Chemistry, Nail Altunay, Ramazan Gürkan, Ulas, Orhan of the Cumhuriyet University, in Sivas, Turkey, describe their development of a simple ultrasound assisted-cloud point extraction (UA-CPE) method. They point out that maltol is too chemically reactive and shows matrix effects in samples, so cannot be determined readily in solution. "It is important to develop simple, low cost, sensitive and selective separation/pre-concentration methods for the accurate and reliable determination of maltol in food products," the team says.
Green testing
Previously, a wide range of techniques including flow injection analysis (FIA)-direct chemiluminescence, microwave assisted extraction and electrochemical detection (MAE-ED), indirect kinetic spectrophotometry based on chemometry, spectrometry multicomponent calibration approaches, spectrometry/ multivariate calibration and artificial neural networks, cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), differential pulse voltammetry/differential linear sweep voltammetry, and ion chromatography (IC) have been used to determine maltol with varying degrees of success or otherwise. These and other techniques all have their pros and cons, as does any technique, of course. Moreover, while powerful, most of these analytical methods require time-consuming, costly, complex sample preparation steps and skilled operators. The team also suggests that an environment friendly technique would be apposite given the need to develop green chemistry techniques.
The team's new technique can be combined with FAAS for pre-concentration and indirect determination of maltol in food and beverage samples. The team explains that the method is based on the reduction of copper(II) to copper(I) by maltol at pH 6.5. The copper(I) thus produced selectively interacts with bathocuproine (BCP) to form a ternary complex in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS).
The team has shown that under optimized experimental conditions they can pre-concentrate a 35 millilitre sample solution and achieve a detection as low as 1.24 micrograms per litre of maltol in a linear range of 4 to 230 micrograms per litre. "The method was validated by intra- and inter-day precision studies ranging from 2.1 to 3.4%, and recoveries ranged from 93.3% to 104.4% using standard addition method," the team reports.

While the shutdown may have temporarily ended, there are still thousands of workers who suffered 30 plus days without a paycheck and because of that, they still need assistance. Due to the increased need for support to Feeding America, United announced on January 25 that they will donate $1 million to Feeding America's Shutdown Response Fund. The fund has been providing food at food banks and distribution centers for furloughed workers (i.e. TSA and Homeland Security employees), at United hubs such as LaGuardia Airport and other United hubs. While the shutdown may be over for now, workers are still catching up. United will continue to distribute care packages twice a week throughout February.

Jewelry & Diamond Industry Dictionary of Terminology
Diamonds and other gemstones are weighed in metric carats: one carat is equal to 0.2 grams, about the same weight as a paperclip. (Don't confuse carat with karat, as in "18K gold," which refers to gold purity.)
Just as a dollar is divided into 100 pennies, a carat is divided into 100 points. For example, a 50-point diamond weighs 0.50 carats. But two diamonds of equal weight can have very different values depending on the other members of the Four C's: clarity, color and cut. The majority of diamonds used in fine jewelry weigh one carat or less.
Because even a fraction of a carat can make a considerable difference in cost, precision is crucial. In the diamond industry, weight is often measured to the hundred thousandths of a carat, and rounded to a hundredth of a carat. Diamond weights greater than one carat are expressed in carats and decimals. (For instance, a 1.08 ct. stone would be described as "one point oh eight carats," or "one oh eight.")
How Did The Carat System Start?
The carat, the standard unit of weight for diamonds and other gemstones, takes its name from the carob seed. Because these small seeds had a fairly uniform weight, early gem traders used them as counterweights in their balance scales. The modern metric carat, equal to 0.2 grams, was adopted by the United States in 1913 and other countries soon after. Today, a carat weighs exactly the same in every corner of the world.

Origin of the word Carat
The word carat comes from the Carob Mediterranean tree whose seed was used for centuries as the standard of weighing precious gems. Each carob seed weighs approximately one-fifth of a gram. A carat is one-fifth of a gram.
What is gold karat purity?
24 karat gold is considered pure gold, or 99.999% fine. 18 karat gold is 18 parts gold, 6 parts other metals. These other metals are called alloys. 14 karat gold is 14 parts gold, 10 parts other alloys. 10 karat gold is 10 parts gold, 14 parts other alloys.

Artist William Sanderson (1905–1990, American, b. Latvia)
Media oil on canvas
Dimensions 23 3/4 x 19 1/2 inches
William Sanderson (whose birth name was Wilhelm Tsiegelnitsky) was born August 4, 1905 in Dubbeln, Latvia, near Riga and at that time part of the Russian Empire. The family immigrated to America in 1923. While living in Newark, New Jersey from 1924 to 1926, he studied art at the National Academy of Design. After graduation in 1927 he illustrated books and magazines as a commercial and freelance artist in New York City, and was later hired as art director by the McCue Advertising Agency. He also taught graphic arts at the New York School of Industrial Arts under the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Drafted into the US Army Air Corps in 1941, he was stationed at Lowry Field in Denver where he married Ruth Lambertson in 1943. At the close of World War II he was dispatched to Berlin as an interpreter. Discharged from military service in 1945, he rejoined Ruth in Denver and a year later was hired by Vance Kirkland to teach advertising design at the University of Denver School of Art where he remained for 26 years. In 1948 Sanderson became a founding member of the 15 Colorado Artists who broke from the more traditional Denver Artists Guild. The Sandersons raised two children in Arvada, Colorado and then moved to Fort Morgan, Colorado, upon his retirement in 1972. Sanderson continued to paint until 1986. In 1976 he donated a collection of 40 of his paintings to Northeastern Junior College in Sterling, Colorado where they are permanently displayed in a gallery bearing his name.

Revolving credit is a type of debt where you do not have set amounts of loans and payments each month. Instead, you have a maximum allowable credit line. Your purchase is deducted from that maximum each time you use the credit to determine your remaining credit. When you pay down the debt, your remaining credit goes back up. You have the option of paying down your debt each month. Or, you can "revolve" the credit by simply paying the interest charge and not the principal amount. The most common type of revolving credit is the credit card. It is common for many students to use credit cards as a form of manageable debt while they have little to no income.
Revolving credit is very flexible. Students may have high expenses one month such as new books at the beginning of a semester or a spring break trip. The next month, their expenses may be relatively low. Revolving credit will allow the student to choose how much to use of a credit line during any given period of time. Similarly, a student can choose how much debt to pay off at any given time. Many students do not work during the school year. They typically have a summer job, and some will make money during long breaks such as winter recess. Because of this, a student's ability to pay will fluctuate according to the season. Revolving credit allows a student to pay down debt during the times when he or she has the highest ability to do so. During the school year, a student can pay off interest rates but contribute only small amounts to paying off the principal.
If you are not careful with revolving credit, you will pay huge penalties and compounded interest rates. Carrying a balance from month to month will mean each charge you make becomes increasingly costly. Furthermore, most students do not have top marks on their credit scores. Many students do not have a long enough credit history to have a high credit score. Others are carrying large student-debt loans that will make them less appealing to lenders. If students are additionally carrying high credit card balances, they will be in the lowest credit score range. Often, students are not known to be the most fiscally responsible people. Due to the inconsistencies in schedule and income, it is common for students to miss payments or carry balances on revolving credit lines. Students must truly understand the consequences of mismanaging revolving credit to use a revolving line effectively.


Pouring Medium: Floetrol mixed at a ratio of 1:1 with each color of paint.
Using seven, eight ounce plastic or paper cups, put approximately two ounces of paint in the cup for the colors and three to four ounces of dark turquoise green paint in its cup. You may want a larger cup to mix the dark turquoise as you will need more of it than any of the other colors. Add your iridescent medium to all of the colors except the dark turquoise. Add Hologram Glitter paint to each color except dark turquoise. Stir each color until blended and smooth. Add Floetrol at a ratio of 1:1 with the paint. Add water as needed to bring the mixture to a warm honey consistency. You will note in the video that I mix the phtalo blue and lake blue together as well as mixing the phtalo green and emerald green together. This was to get hues that I liked better with my palette than any of these colors by themselves.
Using three, eight ounce paper cups, layer paint colors in each. I don't use dark turquoise in the layering process as it will be used for the alternating puddle pours. I like to layer the colors so that I have a different combination of colors in each cup. I combined the blue mixture, green mixture, and a little violet in one cup, the blue mixture, violet, and alizarin crimson in the second cup and alizarin crimson, cadmium orange hue, and cadmium yellow in the third cup. When layering, repeat colors several times. Try to be "intentionally random" adding each color so that you place colors next to one another to achieve certain effects as they blend coming out of the cups. I like to see rings as well as ombre effects in each pour for richness and dimension.
For the pour in the video I am using a 9×12 inch gallery wrapped canvas set on top of glass canning jars. I use them because they are standard heights as long as you use all the same brand and size. I always check for levelness on the surface of my canvas using a level. Check the level both from top to bottom as well as side to side. If you need to make adjustments you can use craft sticks placed either under the jars or on top. If you place them on top between the jar and canvas, be aware that when the paint dries they can stick to the underside of your canvas. Once the canvas is determined to be level, apply dark turquoise paint to act as a base layer which will allow your paint to slide more easily and smoothly when you begin tilting. I like to apply it around the edges first so I can cover the wrapped sides. I prefer either a brush or my gloved hand to spread the base layer rather than pouring and tilting it. There will be a lot of paint on the finished canvas so I don't want too much involved in the base layer.
You can either pour a small puddle of dark turquoise paint to start, or just start with one of your layered pour cups. As you start pouring your pour cup the colors will come out in more "defined" bands, one next to another. This will produce more distinct "rings." As you work your way down the cup you will get more blending of colors. Both effects are nice! However, if you prefer one to the other you can adjust your cups as you pour by either blending with a stick just a tiny bit to avoid making the distinct rings, or add fresh color to your cup as you pour to continue to create the distinct rings as you work your way down through the paint in your cup. I like a little of both! Pour three ring pours in a triangle placement on your canvas using the color cups. Next, pour a puddle of dark turquoise in the center of each pool of rings you just poured. Repeat this sequence until you have about six pools of rings and six puddles of black in each separate pour.
Now it is time to stretch those rings out! Gently tilt your canvas to start moving the ring pools around and closer to the edges. Try to get the paint to just start to run over the sides then redirect tilting in a different direction. It is okay for the rings to become distorted while tilting. This produces the base pattern that you will use to build your final design on. Once you are happy with the results of your tilting you are ready to add other elements!
Where you place your elements and just how many you add are totally up to you! A few things to remember when adding design elements: if you want them to stay round, don't place them too close to one another. Any new paint you add will cause the paint next to it to be displaced as the elements spreads and flattens out. Consider how many layers you may want in each element and account for spread when you place them on the canvas. A little practice will help you develop an eye for this. If you want all of your element to stay on the canvas, don't place it too close to the edge. As it spreads it will fall off! However, elements that partially fall off are not all bad, they can become something wonderful when you enhance this technique further which I will go over next! Once you have all the elements you want with as many layers as you want you can keep what you have or take the next step to create the Kaleidoscope design!
Note: you can go to the next step as soon as you finish pouring your elements or you can wait a while to let them spread before you proceed.
The Kaleidoscope is created by scoring lines in your poured elements with a special tool I call the "Petrified Paintbrush." It is not difficult to acquire one of these, in fact, you make it yourself! Simply use a perfectly good paintbrush during a project, leave it on your workspace without cleaning it and let it dry. Proceed to abuse it in this way several more times and you will have the ideal tool for this technique! Next, look at the elements on your canvas. There will be places where two elements contact one another. These areas I like to call "escapes" or "exits." They are logical places to score lines from inside an element to the outside. It allows you to follow the natural patterns that you have poured and tie things together.
You can also "exit" one element and make an "entry" into another one. This helps tie the elements together in the Kaleidoscope effect. You will see this demonstrated visually on the video. Continue to identify escapes and entries throughout your design. I like to make somewhat symmetrical lobes on each element, usually making six or eight, sometimes more or less, it all depends on your artistic vision! Lastly, if you want you can add a dot in the center of each element to give it a floral look…or to cover up a messy looking junction where you drew the lines in!
At this point, you are done! At least you are done with the designing part… there is still the part where you try to leave it alone but keep jumping up to run check on it until it finally finishes spreading! Just remember, keeping your elements smaller to start with, spaced well apart and strategically away from the edges of the canvas will help preserve the design you intended. But if it doesn't turn out that way, it is still a beautiful piece in its own right!
I hope you enjoy the video! If you do, please be sure to like and subscribe and check back with Acrylicpouring.com for all the wonderful videos and tutorials available!
I am 54 and have been painting for 6 months. I work full time for a metal fabrication shop as their Quality Systems and Regulatory Compliance Manager. Although I have no formal education in art I have always loved to create and be a part of artistic expression. Being an avid horsewoman from my childhood days I have spent the past 40 years riding and training my own horses as well as giving instruction in the equestrian sport of Dressage. I have competed at the highest level of the sport and always enjoyed creating musical freestyle rides (a dance for horse and rider!). In 2014 I began lampworking and have created hundreds of beads and sculptural pendants over the past 14 years. In July 2018 I stumbled across a photo of an acrylic flip cup pour and was fascinated by the cells! It reminded me a lot of the type of effects I work to produce in my glass work. Since it was summer and too hot to work with a glass working torch, I decided to give this new form of painting a try! I had a little success with creating cells, mostly with silicone. I tried a ring pour and decided I really didn't like them. I kept trying to get better with my flip cups but found I was never really happy with the outcome. I tried strainer pours and really liked them but was disappointed after they finished spreading and I lost the symmetry of the freshly poured design. My need to have more control over the outcome was not being fulfilled. Then one day I tried another ring pour and decided it wasn't so bad after all. I started experimenting with multiple pours on one canvas and then accidentally created my first "galaxy and planets" pour. It is still one of my very favorite paintings! Suddenly I had found a way to pour that satisfied my need to have greater control over the finished piece! I began to expand on the galaxies with planets, then experimented with alternating the ring pours in layers with puddle pours and discovered that it looked a lot like the view through a kaleidoscope. I really enjoyed the challenge presented by creating the layers and designing something that retained its shapes and was pleasing to look at. But it was still missing something. One particular pour was not staying symmetrical and I wasn't happy with the shapes the elements were taking so I began to play with adding lines into and out of the elements on the canvas using a paintbrush that I had accidentally left sit with paint in it until it dried. The result was exactly what I was after! Now it really looked like a kaleidoscope! And I also had a new tool in my kit, the "Petrified Paintbrush"! Since taking my kaleidoscopes to the next level I have been experimenting with different ways to place them on the canvas and color palettes. I have results that look like flowers, umbrellas and quilt patterns as well as kaleidoscope views. I really enjoy experimenting and stretching my abilities and learning new things about paint and how colors work or don't work together. I have recently been playing with capturing the drippings off my kaleidoscopes on another canvas because of the beautiful, intricate designs that they create on my workspace! I hate to miss out on the opportunity to create an artwork out of them!

Painful to watch
The only reason that I haven't rated this movie as a 1 is that the camera work and editing are reasonable enough.
That is where any praise at all ends.
The script is terrible and the acting is (on the most part) even worse. The plot is weak and any attempt to build tension fails dismally, partly but not completely, due to the ineffective score.
I can't stress enough: this isn't one of those films that is "so bad it's good". It's just plain bad.

Looking for a Great Werewolf flick?!? This ain't it...
Anytime I see I a new movie that's come out which reportedly states it's about I begin to get my hopes up. After all lycanthropes are probably my favorite thing to watch coming out of Hollywood. Like I said, "I begin" then reality sets in and reminds how 90% of the few werewolf movies made these day plain SUCK.
"As The Village Sleeps" is no exception. From the very beginning you can it was cheaply filmed. The characters (who couldn't act) are all dislikable except for possibly the older married couple. The writing was inconsistent with plot holes all over the place. People just went missing without any explanation. The special effects and make-up were high school level. And the conclusion will leave you saying "Seriously?!?".
Yeah this film is that bad and it's people like this that give this type movie genre a bad reputation. Hopefully they'll move on to making zombie flicks. They can try to peddle their fare there in that flooded market.

THE 4x800 WINS LHS'S FIRST BOYS NEW ENGLAND CHAMPIONSHIP IN OVER 20 YEARS
New England Championships
BOSTON, MA - After suffering a disappointing loss by one-hundredth of a second at last week's All-State Championships, the four members of the The Minutemen's 4x800m Relay were looking to re-establish themselves as the class of the northeast and improve upon their seed time for Nationals in two weeks. With Wellesley High School - the State Champions - forgoing these New England Championships, LHS's relay compromised of seniors Selvin Backert, Joshua Backert, Andrew McGovern and sophomore Evan Eberle came into the meet as the top seed with the target on their back.
Selvin Backert led off for The Minutemen in what was a physical start. He was able to keep the boys in an extremely tight pack through the first 800m, handing off the baton with a split of 2:02.5. After Selvin's leg, the relay's youngest harrier Eberle took the baton and brought the team up to fourth place with a 2:01.6 split. From there it was 600m State Champion Joshua Backert who charged after the leaders and thundered into the lead in the first 200m of his leg. Backert kept the pressure on and handed off the baton, after running a personal best split of 1:57.2. McGovern took the baton as he did a week ago, with a commanding lead, but this time he was not going to relinquish even a small bit of that lead. The Minutemen's captain set the track on fire over four laps, and after a 1:55.3 split he let out a triumphant yell as he crossed the line to bring home the boys first Indoor New England Championship in over 20 years. LHS's time of 7:56.59 retakes their claim to the Bay State's #1 time, and ranks the boys US #11.
Up Next
The Minutemen will face the toughest test of the season at the New Balance Indoor Nationals. Joshua Backert will be competing in the afternoon on Saturday March 14th in the prelims of the 400m before the boys come together one final time this Indoor Season to make a run at the podium. Backert is set to compete at 4pm, while the 4x800 team races at 6:55pm.


Spring will be here in but a few days and we are so excited to update our wardrobes. We talked to fashionistas Kristy Weiber and Lisa Delorme who are behind Rent Frock Repeat, a dress rental service that allows you to get a couture look for a fraction of the price, to get their tips on spring fashion trends. From a gala evening to a girls' night out – you can try some of your favourite designer's gowns, as well as these spring trends, without committing the cost or the closet space!
These aren't your grandmother's florals. These are bold, fashion forward florals steeped in drama. You'll see floral patterns that are more abstract and vivid or even shocking, contrasting colour combinations.
Spring isn't usually known for texture – we normally see simple fabrics in light shades or simple laces. But this year we are seeing texture taking the place of your standard pastel hues. For daytime wear, look for embellished fabric and seam or mesh detailing that gives dimension and adds unique twists to otherwise classic silhouettes. For evening, think sequins and rich, modern, embroidered lace that create a statement.
We're seeing a break from the traditional pale shades and celebrating spring with bold hues and vivid, deeply saturated pops of colour. Even the traditional light shades will be brighter and richer.
Normally spring is associated with flowy, gauzy, sheer fabrics, but we're seeing a more structured approach to dresses this year. They can still be fresh and light, but there's definitely more drama with stiffer bodices, crisp pop-overs, architecturally inspired detailing, and crisp pleats.

Breitling (Re) launches Chronomat with Rouleaux bracelet
The 1990s icon returns.
Breitling Chronomat replica is one of the most fashionable watches in the late 1980s and 1990s, with a unique Rouleaux bracelet, especially a two-color steel and golden yellow model with a dark blue dial.
Chronomat is the watch of choice for a variety of Air Force squadrons, and it also appeared in the major Hollywood stars of that era, the most famous being Jerry Seinfeld and Bruce Willis. After Swiss entrepreneur Ernest Schneider rescued the quartz crisis, Breitling achieved great success, largely thanks to Chronomat.
Now, Chronomat on Rouleaux bracelet is making a comeback after it was discontinued a few years ago. The brand-new Chronomat B01 42 abandoned the recently unsuccessful facelift style, adopting a tightly executed design that incorporates some elements of the classics of the 1990s.
Chronomat came out in 1984 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Breitling, marking the brand's return to mechanical watches. In 1979, the late Ernest Schneider took over Breitling in poor condition. Until then, the factory mainly produced quartz replica watches with a military flavor.
After Schneider delivered the first batch of Chronomat to the members of the Italian Air Force aerobatic team Frecce Tricolori and sold it to the public, his hand was hit.
Although it has the same name as the old Breitling chronograph, the Chronomat launched in 1984 is a completely new design. It was surprisingly modern in the 1980s, with several unique elements that gave it a novel look, including four "tabs" that were fixed to the bezel by screws, allowing the wearer to convert the bezel into Countdown timer.

Product Lifecycle Stages
Astronics Ballard Technology has established a reputation for long-life products and industry-leading customer support. A high priority is placed on keeping products in production and supporting those products as long as possible to ensure customers benefit from years of reliable service from their purchase.
As product designs mature, newer products are typically introduced that provide advantages in terms of performance and value. Older products may also be affected by component availability issues, affecting cost and manufacturability. The lifecycle stages shown in the accompanying graphic provide a way to communicate the current status and availability of Astronics Ballard Technology products. These stages are described in more detail below. It is important to note that products in the "Production" lifecycle stage should be specified for all new applications. Please contact Astronics Ballard Technology for further assistance.
