You Will Never Be the Same Person . . .
This is the horse still moving through the storm. He is represented by the dark blues reflecting the darkness of the sky, wind and rain surrounding him. His white mane whips in the wind but the strength of his body and legs propels him forward after the other horses, trying to desperately make it through the storm.
I love the quote. "You won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about." Each day we wake up a bit different from the day before. Everything we have said the day before has set something in motion in someone's life. Everything we do in our actions is exactly the same. One hurtful word can cause years of therapy. One hurtful action may cause a life of pain and distrust. On the other hand, when you bring love and sunshine into someone's life or day, you set positive things in action. You are NOT the storm but you are the calm.
I really like the verse you read next. You are in the calm safe zone if you are moving within the Lord's direction for you... until he wants to toughen you up some more. I always call it my Plateau when I pray. I pray for a resting place to regain my strength to go back out in the storm.
One Cannot Exist without the Other . . .
Do People Notice You? . . .


The objective of this box set intended for the press and companies was to sublimate and make the bottle design easily identifiable by respecting the brand's DNA.
Printing on soft touch matt black paper, embossing, hot foil stamping.
We chose that mixing would be the key element to create the visual identity of the brand, which will be applied to all of its communication mediums.
Development of a prestigious end-of-year box set. For women who want a line of global anti-aging skin care creams using the latest technologies.
Design of the box set on the origami theme in line with the brand's premium positioning. A design faithful to the SHISEIDO identity, combining discovery and folding, strongly embodying contemporary Japan.
The lotus, symbol of the brand, comes close the box. The latter is dressed a textured black paper and a gold interior.
Global design for a brand of natural soaps, made in France and intended for Chinese consumers. The Ecrin de Fleur soaps are made from natural ingredients and respect the environment, presenting various benefits for the skin.
Reflecting the natural state of mind of the brand, it is an identity that underlines a link between well-being of the body and the mind and reveals the properties of its soaps: the soaps of the brand regenerate, rebalance, harmonize, energize and protect from external aggressions.
- The importance of nature, with a herbalist design illustrating the perfume of each soap. Work on a colour range consistent with the soaps' perfume while creating a beautiful harmony range.
Roche Mazet, brand of the Castel Frères group, is a family-run company which produces wines from the pays d'Oc and shares it passion for the French soil since 1998.
We chose to go beyond its practical aspect by bringing an added value to underline its difference and by creating a shared enjoyment with the accessory. We created an innovative box, which will be used for its 7 references: 2 reds, 2 whites and 3 rosés.
After studying everything that could have been done in this sector, we worked on several essential criterias: making it unique as much as practical, aesthetic and playful, matching with a wide audience in various situations.
Visual identity and packaging of the Ayala Rosé No. 8 unique vintage.
Our aim was to create a visual identity and packaging that would express both the values of a great champagne house and the intrinsic qualities of an exceptional wine.
That is why we have set up a relationship between the container (packaging design) and the content (the wine) to build our creative concept.
No. 8 was selected to reflect the rarity, excellence and precision that typify this special vintage. The sensuous curves of the packaging, the bottle and the label all emphasise refinement, elegance and femininity, which are the signatures of the cellar master Caroline Latrive.
Drawing on the famous Taipei 101 tower in Taiwan, the Kavalan bottle has an original shape that stands out immediately. That reference to the local architecture was the starting point of our packaging research. Taiwan combines technical efficiency and innovation with traditional Chinese curved roofs, bright colours and nested lines. Keeping that blend of tradition and modernity in mind, we have decided to work on simple shapes that refer to the contours of contemporary monuments to which we have added subtlety that will become the signature of the brand. The edge at the top of our boxes is curved, in a nod to the dynamic of oriental roofs, associated to the cultural symbol of elegance and vitality.
Like the fronts of both old and modern buildings, particularly that of the Kavalan distillery, our packs have been given a geometrical finish.
A delicate, elegant and simple box, on a pearly white background, named after the Japanese festival of 14 March.
The challenge was to find a way to differentiate the three products with a surprising effect for each new edition.
The box features a different cover for each product, to create differentiation. The pattern can be seen via the window on the facing.

Zachary Kocman, Joseph Murphy: Bias-motivated charges for yelling gay slur, assault
Michael Roberts | August 2, 2011 | 9:19am
Zachary Kocman, nineteen, and Joseph Murphy, eighteen, had no marks on their adult record prior to last month. But they're currently looking down the barrel of a bias-motivated crime charge, as well as third-degree assault, because, according to an arrest affidavit on view below, they saw two men holding hands and decided to yell "Faggots" at them.
Here's the account Kocman shared with investigators, as quoted in the affidavit.
On July 18, Kocman and Murphy were driving along 52nd Avenue when they saw two men walking and holding hands. "Look, fags," he remembered Murphy saying.
Sharing this observation with each other apparently wasn't enough, however. Kocman said that as he and Murphy cruised past in their car, the latter yelled "Faggots" out the window.
At that point, a traffic signal forced them to stop close enough to the targets of their invective that one of them threw a soda at them. That pissed off Murphy and Kocman, with Murphy promptly parking the car behind a building and both of them chasing the man who'd chucked the pop. They dogged him down an alley, through a parking lot, across Federal and down a sidewalk before Kocman caught up to him and allegedly punched him several times in the face.
Anthony Pyles, the victim of this pummeling, soon contacted police. Denver District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough says he memorized the license plate number of the vehicle in question, which made tracking down Murphy and Kocman a snap.
The DA's office has now charged each man with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor. But additional counts of bias-motivated crime are both felonies.
Look below to see booking photos of Kocman and Murphy, as well as the aforementioned affidavit.

The diamond behind the silver
In Uncategorized on February 18, 2014 at 3:42 pm
She's the girl behind the brand that turns old silverware into fabulous on-trend jewellery – but she wouldn't have come up with the idea if it wasn't for her struggling start.
The innovative jewellery business, Dad Daughter Designs, has become increasingly popular on Etsy.co.uk and has been promoted on YouTube for its unique designs made from antique cutlery. I found out it hasn't always been easy however, when I meet the girl behind the success story who had to make the best out of very little.
Dressed in a pair of worn jeans and a thrifted top, from first glance you can tell that Leanne Nicholson is a small town girl from Georgia in the USA. She is also the daughter who helped set up the brand with her father, Herman Nicholson. Her family never had a lot of money, but she happily always made the best of what she did have.
What prompted her to set up her business? Leanne says, "A year after I had graduated from college, I really struggled to find a job and had little hope that I would do well for myself." Leanne had studied art and design but there were little jobs available to her in Georgia where she would be able to make any money from art. With sadness in her voice, Leanne says, "My dad built houses for a living, but that had slowed down a lot too, and so we were both in desperate need of money."
What sparked such a creative idea as antique cutlery? Perking up at the memory, Leanne explains that she had first thought of the idea when she had gone to a craft show and saw a man making bracelets out of silverware handles. Leanne says, "I really wanted one, but they were $65!" and while laughing, said that she is too cheap to spend that kind of money on one bracelet! Leanne decided to buy two spoons from a local thrift shop she often buys clothes at and asked her dad to make her one with a personal edge. She had her initials inscribed onto the spoon-bracelet, which she thought made it even more one-of-a-kind. While Smiling, and looking down at her wrist, she said that when she first started wearing it, all her friends and family wanted her and her dad to make them one. Happily, Leanne says "And the business just snowballed from there!"
Dad Daughter Designs jewellery is sold online on Etsy.com, a site similar to EBay where anyone can sell handmade items, ranging from jewellery to iPhone cases. The business has over a hundred followers on Etsy, where the community favourite and comment on many of her designs. With prices starting at £10 for the fork-prong rings and £15 for knife handle key rings and vintage spoon pendants, the business is affordable as well as inventive.
The excitement beams out of her while she shows me her favourite pieces. With a smile on her face, Leanne said "I love taking vintage brooches and soldering them onto spoon heads to make a statement piece." She also has a ton of fun just going on searches for more vintage silverware, and says "It is always a treasure hunt!" Working with any member of family can be a tough ride at times, but it does have its perks. Leanne said that although she can get annoyed with her dad changing her designs, she laughs and says "The best part of working with my dad is not having to worry about getting fired!"
Leanne says, "I am mostly spending my time polishing the silverware up at the house, and my dad will be down in the workshop cutting and filing the pieces." However I can tell that she is born to be creative, as she uses any spare time she has by uploading videos onto YouTube. Leanne has a close and niche online community where she gets hundreds of views on her videos displaying her jewellery as well as other creative hobbies such as singing songs from The Rocky Horror Show and showcasing vintage fashion hauls she had collected from vintage shops around her hometown.
After talking to Leanne, I realised that with enough determination, and a little bit of polishing, we can all find the diamond that's within us.

It runs in the family
Running any business is hard work, but how would you feel answering to your boss who is actually your mum? Would working from home with your sisters drive you mad? Family businesses are on the rise, and Bethany Fisher finds out why.
It's hard enough on a wet Monday morning to get up early to commute to work to find your boss forever moaning. But just imagine if that was your mum. When I think of working with my family, I think of arguments and stress – not a foundation you want to run a business from. However I was pleasantly surprised when I talked to two different family-led businesses about why they worked so well.
Matilda Kirkwood, who is part of a team of three sisters, has driven their fashion couture business to success – fight-free! Forget the Kardashians, this new trendy trio behind the latest fashion enterprise K'outure, are a business team that ooze sisterly sophistication. With their quirky collections inspired by musical theatre and their Scottish heritage, this innovative design squad are organised and have their minds set for success. It is quite astonishing to see a business in such harmony, considering they come from a family of seven sisters!
Matilda, 26,Jemima, 24 and Harriet,27 are the three Kirkwood sisters behind K'outure, which they set up just over a year ago after studying costume design at Edinburgh College of Art. With a price tag ranging from £300-£900 for a piece from their collections, it's obvious that they must be doing something right!
As there are three sisters contributing to the design work, you would assume it would be difficult to all agree on ideas. Matilda shrugs off the assumption by saying "As designers we follow a similar process, but our inspiration and work that each of us produces are very different." Matilda said that they love this about their company, as the diversity and scope of work is increased with three different designers working under one label.
I know that if I worked with my family, we would all try and palm off the worst jobs on everyone else but Matilda said "If there is a job I dislike, it is without doubt adored by either Harriet or Jemima", which makes them at their best when they are working as a team.
When running a business, it is sometimes difficult to get on with all your colleagues, and if they're your sisters, being too familiar with each other could increase the stress. Matilda said, "As we are the eldest of seven siblings, we know that getting on is much easier than not, and when you work with people you care about – the urge to succeed is increased twofold."
On days that they are incredibly busy or stressed, Matilda said "We rely heavily on lots of cups of tea" and added that tea and hard work are the backbone of K'outure.
When working with colleagues you generally need to be more tactful when opposing ideas or criticising work you dislike. Matilda said, "As sisters, we are our own harshest critics." Matilda added, "Where in other working relationships criticism can be sugar coated, we have no qualms about being direct, to the point of brutal sometimes, with issues that we disagree on."
This can cause problems and sometimes they can find themselves getting too personal in arguments. Matilda said, "When family is involved it can't fail to be personal, which can occasionally lead to some rather heated debates." Although this can make disagreements more difficult to deal with, Matilda argues that as usual in any family argument, it is forgotten within minutes!
Like any business partners, they all have bad habits they all have to deal with. Matilda said "I am very messy and forever putting things down and forgetting where they are!" Matilda added that Harriet is always disrupting the workflow to make at least fifteen cups of tea a day. Matilda said, "Our youngest sister, Jemima, gets very upset when working in a messy studio."
The sisters also have very good qualities about them that make them bond so well as business partners. Matilda said she's best with dealing with proposals and anything that requires writing, and Harriet is a brilliant leader, pacifier and mediator – all necessary qualities in an older sister! Matilda also said "Jemima is good at being very organised and generally keeping us two in line."
It seems that working with your family can result in a very strong team, especially if you know each other's weaknesses and strengths. I spoke toAyşegül Çetinkaya, who set up her business, Irregular Expressions, with her mum, which creates knitted and crocheted accessories. Ayşegül tells me why having a clear understanding of their roles, is key to running their business successfully.
The business is innovative on its own, despite the fact that a mum and her daughter run it together! Ayşegül said that her mother, Sebahat Çetinkaya, is a sixty-four year old retired teacher, and works ten to twelve hours every day crocheting and knitting and creating new pieces. The long lengths of time they spend together working on the pieces could cause arguments in the business, but Ayşegül knows how important it is to her mum, so she helps her as much as she can. Ayşegül added, "As I am fluent in English, I handle our online store and customer e-mails."
The mother-daughter duo has learnt that because they care so much about each other, they tend to put all their efforts into their business. Ayşegül said "I think that anyone who is about to start a business with family members are better to start with a clear understanding of their responsibilities, as it can avoid tension because it is very easy to argue with a family member."
From what I have heard, even though it can be difficult to get on with your family if you are working with them every day, it is obvious it also has a lot of benefits – and no one else quite knows how to make your cup of tea the way your family do.

Bonnie and Whitney – nicknamed the 'botoxians'
Upon meeting the pair of glamorous starlets, Bonnie Blossman and Whitney Whatley from the new reality show, Big Rich Texas, I was very worried about what to expect. From the first few episodes that have aired on ITV2 this month, the two 'outcasts' of the series set in Dallas seem to be in the middle of every argument and at the front of every cosmetic surgeon's waiting list. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find how real and down to earth they were – despite being partially made out of plastic and silicone.
They greet me with Hollywood white smiles and bat their thick false eyelashes that hide under their veils of voluminous platinum hair. I immediately compliment them on how glamorous they look, and Bonnie grins as much as her Botox would let her and in a high-pitched Texan accent replies "Why thank you, that is so nice! I spend an hour getting ready, but mostly for a hot bath!" Whitney, who is dolled up to the nines declares that most of the time she does not wear makeup because she thinks it is bad for her face, and never uses foundation or powder products.
Before any plastic surgery in 1990
I am not slow to dig the dirt on who they love and who they hate out of their cast mates on the show. Bonnie admits she loves fashionista Connie and ex-model Melissa as they have the best hearts and are good people to the core. "By the end of season two and definitely in season three, you can watch the transformation of our relationships. I don't get along with any of the others, enough said." Whitney nods and added "I'm with my mum – we get along with the same people and have the same that we don't care for".
When asking how they got onto the show, Bonnie says, "The American Big Brother casting producer called me about Big Rich Texas since I have a daughter, and when I told Whit about it, she was in!" Whitney, who seems more comfortable now, said "when my mum called me about it, I was like, hell yes! Let's do it!"
If you are in the minority of people that has yet seen the show, we are introduced to Bonnie making a deal with Whitney, to get the c-bomb she tattooed on her foot removed in exchange for lip fillers. I ask them if they always make deals like this, and they both laugh, and admit they love a bit of surgery here and there. "I love Botox!" Bonnie declared. "I would have lines on my forehead if I didn't get it, and who wants lines? Not me!" Whitney tells me that she is also pro-plastic surgery, "I have done Botox once, but it didn't even do anything for me" – I am not surprised, she is only 24! Whitney admits she wants more surgery – "I want porn star boobs!" she laughs, while looking down at her already-large pair. Bonnie tells me that she has also had a nose job, and a CO2 laser procedure on her face, which she describes, was "fabulous". "That's all I've done, but I will fight aging every step along the way – I'm just not going to age gracefully, no way!" Bonnie pauses and then blurts out "oh, wait, no, I also had my boobs done after I had kids. Ok, that's all I've done."
Big Rich Texas Bonnie and Whitney looking beautiful for the TV series
For two women who spend a lot of money and effort on their appearance, you would assume that they wouldn't have much else to offer in the academic department. "There are a ton of stereotypes about being educated and what you should look and act like and even more stereotypes about blonde hair and big boobs. I seek to break both of thesestereotypes." Bonnie told me. She added, "It doesn't matter what you look like, you are capable of anything", and she's right, as she goes on to tell me that she has a PhD in Biology, she has published five journals on microbiology and physiology, and is a published murder mystery fiction author.
She can tell from my face at how shocked I am after telling me this, and then admitted that she wasn't always this successful, and considered herself as a teen failure. "My proudest moments are coming a long way from not graduating highschool – I had Whitney during my senior year and got married at 17 with inadequate education." After working as a cosmetologist for two years, she shocked her parents by signing up to do pre-med at university, which ten years later credited her with a PhD. "I have an autobiography by the way," she cheekily plugs, "it's called, from GED to PhD!"
You can tell from Whitney's proud expression that she looks up to her mum as a role model. "It shouldn't matter what you look like, if you are smart, you're smart," she said – and Whitney is, she was a state champion cheerleader when she was younger and also studied pre-medicine at university and is working on her medical esthetician licence.

Whitney tells me that she loves painting guitars and does lots of art projects. Looking at her exposed arms and chest I can tell that she loves being creative, down to the 10 tattoos decorating her body. "I have recently helped my mother make clay monsters for her animations", she said. Bonnie piped up "Yeah I do Claymation for fun! Mountain dew paid me 10k (USD) for a Claymation that I put on youtube – it was horrible!" she laughed. The duo is also musically talented as well. Bonnie says that she has recorded seasonal dance songs as they have a recording studio in their house. "I also play bass guitar in our house band, which is called DrunkLora. My husband plays guitar, my son plays drums, and Whit sings too" Obviously named after their party lifestyles, I tell them that they live a very colourful life. "Yes, it gets loud at my house!" Bonnie laughed.
I thank them both for giving up some time from their hectic lifestyle, and tell them that we will be glued to our screens watching them for the rest of the series – but after stripping down their plastic exterior, I think we'll see them in a very different light.

This Cereal Box Self Portrait Craft is a great way to re-purpose empty cereal boxes. It's a fun and easy art activity for kids to make for craft camp, art class or a rainy day at home.
The hooligans have discovered the joy of making self-portrait art this year. Did you see the self-portraits we made with paper plates last month. That project was a huge hit with the kids.
We've done a few more self-portrait activities, which I'll be sharing with you over the summer, but today, I'll show you the simplest self-portraits we've made yet. It's a really easy art project for kids to do in a group setting.
The other night, I organized the kitchen cupboards and had several almost empty cereal boxes that I was going to put in the recycle bin. I decided to save them instead, thinking they'd make great canvases for a future art project.
Later that evening, these Cheerios self portraits by The Chaos and The Clutter happened to pop up in my Pinterest feed, and that's when the idea hit me: cereal box self-portraits.
The big kids would be with me the next day, for the last P.A. Day before summer break, and they love to start their day off with a craft, so I primed the cereal boxes with a coat of white paint so they'd be ready to decorate when the kids arrived.
Feel free to add extras like yarn, fabric scraps, pom poms and craft jewels to add texture and dimension to your project. This fun cereal box project by Meri Cherry may inspire you.
To prepare the cereal boxes, I rolled on 2 coats of white paint. This covered up the labels enough that they wouldn't show through when the kids painted them. I dried them quickly with a hairdryer.
When the hooligans arrived, they were very curious about what they'd be making with the white boxes, and quite happy when I told them about the self-portrait idea.
They filled their paint pallets with the colours they wanted to use, and they got to work, covering the front of their cereal boxes with a coat of flesh-coloured paint.
They all started with their eyes. It's interesting to see how they've learned from each self-portrait craft that they've done. In the past, I've heard comments like "Oh, I made my eyes too round", or "my eyes shouldn't be this close together", and often, they've painted the entire eye in one colour, but this time, I didn't hear any comments about shape or spacing, and I noticed that each child painted the inside of their eyes white, and then added an irises and/or pupils.
Then they added noses, mouths, eyebrows, and even painted ears on the sides of their cereal boxes.
And of course, they used the hairdryer to dry their projects. This step isn't necessary of course, but the kids love drying their art with the hairdryer, so if you have a spare dryer one tucked away somewhere, dig it out, and keep it in the craft room. It comes in handy when you need to dry paint or glue quickly, and the kids will love using it.


March Madness is underway all across America. Yesterday was the first day of the second round and already big upsets were made. The biggest one by far was Dayton over Ohio St. 60-59. Ohio St., a 5 seed, missed the final shot in the last few seconds of the second half. Harvard upsetting Cincinnati was another game that was good to watch. Harvard is one of the two Ivy league teams that are in the tournament this year. And finally, the Bisons of North Dakota St. beat OU in overtime. Lots of great games are being held in the second day such as, Kentucky vs Kansas St., Nebraska vs Baylor, Oklahoma St. vs Gonzaga, and Stanford vs New Mexico.


Dec 5 - French aerοspace equipment maker Latecοere cut its 2019 earnings outlook οn Wednesday, saying additiοnal start-up cοsts related to new cοntracts would tempοrarily weigh οn margins and cash flow.
Grοup Chief Executive Yannick Assouad said in a statement that the size of new cοntracts wοn by its Intercοnnectiοn Systems divisiοn, frοm Thales amοng others, required additiοnal capacity and would thus generate "material" start-up cοsts.
"Seizing these oppοrtunities will grοw our market share but will impact the divisiοn's prοfitability in 2019," she said.
The divisiοn prοduces wiring systems and harnesses.
The grοup as a whole nοw expects a low single-digit recurring operating margin and a negative 2019 free cash flow. However, the cοntracts are expected to make a pοsitive cοntributiοn to margins in fοllowing years.
At its Aerοstructures divisiοn, which supplies fuselages and doοrs to Airbus and Boeing, Latecοere sees some of the cοst reductiοns οriginally planned fοr 2019 nοw occurring οne year later. That is in part due to having to bring some activities back in house after the loss of a key supplier.
Latecοere previously expected 2019 earnings and free cash flow to be cοmparable to 2017, when its adjusted recurring operating incοme grew 6.7 percent to 51.1 milliοn eurοs and its free cash flow was 29.4 milliοn eurοs.
That fοrecast was already revised downwards in September frοm a "prοfitability level and cash generatiοn abοve 2017 levels", annοunced in March.
The cοmpany cοnfirmed its targets fοr 2018, with revenues seen in line with 2017 excluding currency effects, and the secοnd-half recurring margin to be better than in the first-half.
Latecοere added that it expected 2019 οrganic revenue grοwth to be "significant", excluding currency effects.

Hidden Treasures: McKendree's Archival Museum
BY ANDREW OLDEN
Photo Credit: Kimberly Bennett
Bothwell Chapel stands as an iconic piece on the McKendree campus, most often admired for its age and beauty. When asking your everyday student what is located in the Chapel, most will reference the housing point of the oldest bell in the United States. Upon further inspection within the chapel, one will discover there is a trove of historical wealth residing in the campus' museum.
The museum is located across from Circuit Riders Hall on the north side of the Chapel's first floor and can be identified by its white double doors. Lining the walls of this historian's paradise are a variety of pictures highlighting McKendree's rich history. These works range from portraits and photos of past presidents to political cartoons which once appeared in major area newspapers. When walking through the museum, it is hard not to be drawn to the large glass cases placed about the room. Behind the glass are relics collected through McKendree's journey from a seminary to a university.
There are less obvious items in the room that are connected to McKendree's history such as firearms from the 19th century, a spinning wheel and Hindu statues. Visitors were able to see all these items when it re-opened last April 24th for Academic Excellence Day. The museum would have never been established if not for the Chapel Renovation Committee, deeming it a priority to the modifications of the chapel in 1960. The museum would function if not for the hard work of Archivist Debbie Houk and her dedicated staff, including Assistant Archivist/intern, Timothy Rose, who has spent much time and effort to ensure the museum's operation and timely re-opening.
I now challenge you to take a step back from McKendree's great leap towards modernity and arrange a visit to one of McKendree's true hidden treasures.


Local government is vital in ensuring there is rental housing constructed.
There's no question that the economy is going pretty well these days in British Columbia.
Wages are finally rising for many workers, notices for workers are appearing on shops all over town, and unemployment is low.
That growth means that people are flocking to the Lower Mainland, including the Langleys.
Unfortunately, some of them are going to wind up living in their cars if our local and provincial governments don't do something about rental housing.
A recent Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation report found rapidly rising costs to rent and shrinking supply of rental housing.
There's a vacancy rate of just 0.9 per cent in Metro Vancouver. The situation is marginally better in the Langleys, where Langley City in particular has a larger than average stock of rental housing.
But a vacancy rate of 0.7 per cent for one-bedroom apartments and 1.5 for all types remains abysmally low.
Meanwhile, the average rental price in the Langleys was at $1,170 for an apartment, up from $1,002 just one year ago. That's a steep increase.
In the short term, we won't be able to build our way out of this situation. There's no way to add enough rental housing stock to make a dent by next year.
But in the long term, the councils of Langley City and Township should take a hard look at how we plan our communities.
Rental housing is where seniors, students, and young people working their first jobs often live. It's a vital resource, and we should make sure there's a sufficient supply.

Never again will wind energy be seen as the domain of a disheveled miller with corn flour in his hair, furling the cloth sails on his wooden windmill. This archaic image has given way to one of trained professionals tending their sleek aero-electric generators by computer, according to a new book.
Wind Energy Comes of Age by Paul Gipe chronicles wind energy's progress from its rebirth during the oil crises of the 1970s through a troubling adolescence in California's mountain passes in the 1980s to its maturation on the plains of northern Europe in the 1990s. Gipe argues that wind energy is no longer an alternative source of energy. He cites improvements in the performance, reliability, and cost effectiveness of modern wind turbines to support his contention that wind energy has come of age as a commercial technology for generating electricity.
The book debunks the myths that wind energy is land-intensive, that wind turbines are inherently ugly, that wind energy will never make a difference, and that wind energy is unreliable. Wind Energy Comes of Age also documents wind energy's value in reducing air pollution, its positive energy balance, its contribution to meeting residential energy needs, and its effect on employment and tourism.
The 536-page book is part of John Wiley & Sons prestigious series on sustainable design. The series includes the award winning "Gray World Green Heart: Technology, Nature and the Sustainable Landscape" by Robert Thayer and the ground-breaking "Design with Nature" by renowned landscape architect Ian McHarg. Illustrated with more than 170 original line drawings, photographs, and charts and more than 70 tables, Wind Energy Comes of Age includes an extensive appendix and a forward by Chris Flavin of WorldWatch Institute.
Wind Energy Comes of Age (ISBN 0-471-10924-X) is available from John Wiley & Sons while supplies last by visiting www.wiley.com. Portions of the book are also now available on line at Google Books.

Challenging Site? No Sweat
"I wasn't sure about getting in touch, because I thought my construction site may prove too remote/hot/cold/complex for installing time lapse site monitoring"
This is a phrase we've heard many times over the years from new clients. As soon as the client has picked up the phone or dropped us a message, we're then able to promptly lay these fears to rest.
Over our ten years of operation, we have installed our Lobster Pot time lapse cameras on oil rigs, wind turbines, ships, in deserts, close to the Arctic Circle… you name it, we've installed it! We have a huge range of masts, brackets, mounts and towers specifically tailored to meet the unique requirements of different sites and are able to develop and custom-build bespoke solutions for those more complex or unusual projects.
We have designed, built and deployed solar, wind and even methanol fuel cell power solutions where mains power isn't available, and have even installed our own internet access points on sites outside of cellular range.
We relish the opportunity to flex our grey matter and develop tailored solutions to the challenges thrown up by a non-standard site. Here, we list a few examples, so if you're looking for time lapse site monitoring - perhaps with additional BIM integration - but are concerned that your site may prove too demanding for installation, read on!
THE GREAT FIREWALL
p>For Siemens, we were asked to install cameras at various projects around China. The first of these was an aluminium plant in Fuzhou, Fujian Province.
There were multiple challenges to overcome - from data security to site safety.
THE SOLUTIONS
Lobster Pot cameras upload to our bespoke viewing platform Lobster Vision, with images resident on multiple 'cloud' and physical secure servers. We also need encrypted access into our camera systems for control and monitoring throughout a build. Unfortunately, Chinese internet censorship means that by default, many foreign websites and server locations are inaccessible using standard tools. We had to build our own configuration in order to get to the 'outside world' in both directions - and this was resilient enough to last throughout all of the deployments on the project, at three locations across China.
When we first arrived on site, it was clear that safety was not to the standard seen on UK or European sites. We were provided with slim bamboo ladders to reach the installation point, which were unsuitable for the task. At our request, a welded steel tower was built, enabling us to reach the installation point safely.
THE 55°C DESERT
Fujairah, United Arab Emirates.
Temperatures in Fujairah can peak at a whopping 55°C. Nothing can kill electrics like heat – especially over a long period of time. Add to this, the site was a mile away from the nearest source of mains electricity, up a mountain, and well out of cellular range, so our usual methods of power and data transfer were not going to work here.
With such intense sunshine, solar was the perfect solution to power the Lobster Pot. We also added a Peltier air-conditioning system, to keep the components cool.
The connectivity was also a challenge, leading us to build a 36-megabit internet access point a mile from the nearest cable. We tested a system over the Severn - sending an encrypted signal over 10km without a problem - so we knew a mile down to the site office would work.
Once installed, we could then monitor temperature, voltage, humidity and dewpoint from our Bristol offices, 24 hours a day. The Lobster Pot camera performed perfectly for 3 years, until the client completed their project.
We have since developed our systems further, testing their limits on a 4-day 65°C cooking session. The Lobster Pot now has EN 60068 certified heat tolerance as standard. Our longest serving cameras have been out in the desert for eight consecutive summers on a mega-project, without any problem.
THE 90M INSTALL
A 90m meteorological mast on the West coast of Scotland to capture imagery of a wind turbine.
The height and exposure of the install were major factors for consideration. We like to think fondly of this project as the install equivalent of an ascent of El Cap.
As ever, a site survey was absolutely vital to this particular project. The team took multiple photos and measurements, and engaged with all key contacts to understand what was required to carry out the work safely. A detailed Risk Assessment and Method Statement was written, submitted and subsequently finalised.
Our team of technicians are all highly qualified in both working at height and rescue at height. Harnesses, lanyards and safety equipment were safety checked and certified fit for use by a third party. Upon arrival for the install itself, the team attended an induction to understand the site-specific hazards, such as deep water, a local nuclear power station and regular heavy vehicle movement. After buddy-checking each other's harnesses, the technicians climbed the mast using the Latchways fixed cable safety system, taking frequent rest breaks during the climb. All the equipment and tools were taken up in haul bags attached to the harnesses, along with a rescue bag containing a 100m rope and abseil equipment. When at 90m, work positioning lanyards were fixed before the bracket and Lobster Pot itself were installed - secured with secondary back-up steel rope lanyards to protect if any primary fixtures fail.
THE SEA INSTALLER
An SEA INSTALLER A2Sea jack-up barge.
A2SEA's second-generation wind turbine installation vessel, SEA INSTALLER, is designed to operate in the challenging conditions that are encountered far offshore and in deep water. It's purpose-built to transport and install up to eight 4MW turbines or four 8.3MW turbines and has a crane with capacity to lift a huge 900 tones. With a reinforced deck as long as a football pitch, the vessel is made to carry large, heavy loads and can operate in water that's 60m deep or more.
We worked closely with the team onboard to plan the camera installation around their routine, minimising disruption, whilst the vessel was docked in a pre-assembly yard.
Once the camera was out of cellular range at sea, we were essentially operating 'in the dark'. However, we were confident that the camera would shoot away throughout - which it did, coming back into communication with us after a few days at sea.
We've now installed cameras like this eight times on seagoing vessels - and of course - we've never lost a shot.
THE REMOTE INSTALL
Bolivia, South America.
The project was for Oxfam, to photograph and document their Camellones project. The project is re-introducing ancient techniques for land management using canals and raised farming areas, with the aim of helping the local people deal with the effects of climate change and improve their lives through increased food security and income.
Tropical heat, high humidity levels and aggressive (often blood sucking!) insects were all challenges encountered and overcome on the trip - alongside the logistics of moving large quantities of equipment in very muddy conditions along flooded tracks.
We initially surveyed the site to establish a suitable position for a long term camera to continue filming as the project expanded, to help engage the public in fund-raising activities by showing the progress of the project online via Lobster Vision. The site survey enabled us to plan the intricacies required for the unique site, before returning to install the camera on a 15m custom-built mast (armed with plenty of insect repellent!)
8K IN THE COLD
We were asked to install an 8K time lapse camera for a confidential site in Rauma, Finland.
Installing at short notice, in the middle of a dark Arctic winter, we built fan heaters into the camera and tested it in our freezer down to -35°C, well below the expected -20°C.
We'd already installed and managed cameras through Finnish winters - working on various oil and gas projects in the country since 2013 - so we were confident the solution we would apply would work well.
With help from a great client - sourcing a 4G SIM card, working with the site to make sure access and power were ready for us - the install could not have gone any smoother. The camera worked fine for two years, going down to -23°C at times, and as ever backed-up by our remote support and control from the UK. There was no trauma in Rauma!
Throw us a challenge!
These stories are just the tip of the iceberg - we've installed Lobster Pots in 21 countries, across six continents, so there's a huge pool of experience, talent and best practice we've built up in the process. Get in touch and throw us your most treacherous conditions or complex sites - we'd love to provide you with a bespoke solution.

With the release of Mocha Pro 5 a few weeks ago, the team at Boris FX is still working at a feverish pitch behind the scenes to get the newest releases of Sapphire 2019 and their flagship application, Boris Continuum Complete 2019 out into the hands of users (just released today!). Well, fans of Sapphire need not wait any longer. As of a week or so ago Sapphire 2019 is now available for purchase and download from the Boris FX website, and in this in-depth look, I want to go in deep to check out the new features of Sapphire 2019, as well as costs, and my overall impression of the newest release of Sapphire. Let's jump right in.
I always like to try to get cost out of the way at the beginning of my reviews, as I find that it can end up dragging a review down, and in the past Sapphire has always been a tricky one, especially for Media Composer editors, but in the past few years, GenArts (now Boris FX) has worked hard to get the price of Sapphire down to something that's affordable, no matter who the user is, company or individual. Now, right off the bat I'm going to tell you that I don't like annual subscriptions. But, as we all know, we live in the age of annual subscriptions, and the cost for an annual subscription makes absolute 100% sense in the case of Sapphire, or probably BCC 2019 for the most part. Looking at Sapphire as a standalone product you're looking at – Adobe & OFX, AVID and AUTODESK = $1695 US for a permanent, forever, Sapphire 2019 license. Meaning that once you've purchased, you can get all the point updates for the 2019 version, and keep it forever, but if down the road you decide you want to upgrade, you'll have to pay an update cost, which, if you were updating from a previous version of Sapphire, would run you $495 US for an Upgrade/Support renewal and $695 US for a Legacy renewal (V9 or before). Let's be honest, it's a lot of money, and potentially a deal breaking amount of money. Well, that's where Boris FX's subscription plan comes into play. Instead of plunking down $1695 for a new license that you will eventually have to pay to upgrade, you can subscribe to Sapphire 2019 for $495 per year, which basically means that for what you would pay for a full "single" license, and be locked in until you decide to plunk down more money to update, you can get the newest, latest and greatest version of Sapphire for the next three years, for less than the cost of a single, brand new license. This is a super great deal. Now, if you are a Sapphire user across all the host applications (Adobe, OFX, Avid, Autodesk), you do have the option to purchase a multi-host license or subscribe to Sapphire for $2975 or $895 respectively. Either way, the subscription model is 100% the way to go with Sapphire, as it keeps you current for the next three years for less than the cost of a single license. Alright, enough talk about costs, let's get to the meat and potatoes of Sapphire 2019, and that is the new features!
There are some great new features in Sapphire 2019, plus some excellent updates to some important tools that Sapphire is known for, so let's break them down now.
Let me give a big WOO HOO for this one. When Mocha Pro was released a month ago (or so), the little things made the update awesome. The Rectangular, Ellipse, Freehand and Magnetic Spline Tool makes perfect sense in the Sapphire and BCC product lines. This is where we are doing a ton of Roto work to apply these effects to the areas of the shots we need them applied to. The other huge feature update is the Essentials workspace. I can't count the amount of times I've seen people posting in the Avid Editors of Facebook group, asking questions about tracking inside of Media Composer (or even After Effects),and painfully using the built in tools to do it. I always hear the common "Well, it's worked for me fine so far, so I'm going to keep using it" excuse, but to be honest, those trackers have been in the application with no updates since they were first introduced. I want to get my tracking and effects work done as quickly as possible, and that's where the Essentials workspace comes into play as an excellent stepping stone to get new users to Sapphire (and Mocha specifically) up to speed super quickly, with this fantastic way to isolate your effects, to only the parts of the shots you want them applied to. The Mocha/Sapphire/BCC integration is only getting stronger with each new release, and with the versions being switched over to a yearly update (with incremental updates in between), we can look for big steps forward from each application, as well as the combined applications, on a yearly basis.
This node/effect will easily be the most overlooked new feature in Sapphire 2019, and it will be an absolute time vampire (which is meant in the best possible way), as there is just so many different combinations you can come up with for transitions and/or effects looks inside of the Builder Tool (S_Effect/S_Transition). It's a pretty simple idea. Add an effect in the builder tool that will let you create a simple polygon or elliptical shape. Let's be honest. This look is pretty, well, dull.
Well, now that that shape you just create, and start adding other parameters to it like a Wave Warp effect, or really any of the "Distort" effects, and you've now created something that would never be able to be created inside an NLE. The effect itself is simple to use, but the fact that you can add as few or as many nodes after it in your composite, makes it one of the most versatile tools in Sapphire 2019. I also want to mention, just briefly here, that both Pixel Sort and Whiplash transitions have been added to the S_Transition Builder tool, so let's talk about them now, as they have been added as separate effects as well.
New to Sapphire 2019 are these effects that come as transitions, as well as Pixel Sort having a standard effect version as well. Let's look at Whiplash first. As the name says, this transition is similar to a "whip pan" look, but think it it more as someone grabbing your video frame, and throwing it off-screen, with the next shot being thrown on screen along with it. I love how you can get in adjust parameters from rotation to scale to create a unique look. It's simple, straightforward, and I can easily see myself using this a lot in my Media Composer timelines. Pixel Sort, on the other hand (as I mentioned before), comes in both an Effect and Transition version inside of Sapphire 2019, and this look is a very fancy looking "glitch" effect with the image being torn into very thin strips across the screen. A cool looking effect, and one that can be added to S_Glitch to take the look to the next level.
If Sapphire is known for anything, it's its lighting effects. Whether it's S_Glow, S_FlashBulbs, S_LightLeak or both S_Glint and S_Glare, these light looks are the best there is out there. The Flare Designer in Sapphire has always been a great tool. A very visual way to create a Lens Flare. Well, now it's even better. Now you might be thinking to yourself, "How often can you use a Lens Flare?" Well, let me tell you that I use a lens flare with just about every text element I add to an edit. With my day job of language versioning of spots from Pacific Rim Uprising to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald to Avengers: Infinity War, I use Lens Flare in every day of my job, so this feature update, for me, is one that I've been looking forward to since I first saw it a few months ago!
The first thing you'll probably notice when you launch the Flare Designer, besides seeing the default flare in the middle of the canvas, is the Lens Flare Preset "Browser". To be honest, you could probably spend most of your time in here, and never need to build a flare of your own, as there's a ton to choose from. It's a little different from working with the standard Sapphire Preset Browser. You'll notice that it's divided into five groups. New, Featured, Favorites, Components and All. These are all fairly self explanatory, except for Components. What you will find in this category are different pre-built presets for specific flare elements like a dirty lens, or haze or even ring edges. You'll notice that, if you're looking at the presets for the first time, that the Favorites are empty, as that is where you will save your own presets and get access to them super quick.
One thing that I want to point out, that is super important is that the main canvas, where you see the flare sample is a little deceiving as, by default, all the triggers are turned on. What, you might ask, is a trigger. Well, a Flare Trigger is a parameter (or set of parameters) that will make the flare behave the way it would in a "real world" situation. For example, when a light that is being pointed directly at the lens is moved off to one side or another, the closer it gets to the edge of the frame, the bigger it gets. By default, inside of the Flare editor, all the triggers are turned on, showing you how things CAN look. Keep in mind, though, that once you're back in Media Composer, Premiere, After Effects, etc, you will have to enable these parameters to get them to appear how they looked inside the Flare editor.
Another new feature inside of the Flare Designer is a new Multi-Streak Tool, and the funny thing about it is that about 95% of the time I use this parameter, I only ever use it to create a single streak, as I'm always mimicking what they are doing on the Hollywood TV spots I come across my desk, and that normally the type of lens flare they like to use.
Now, I want to wrap up talking about the Flare Designer by talking about why I hate lens flare creation tools. Especially ones where there are multiple (10-20) components that went into making the flare. I hate them because when I look at the layer hierarchy that went into creating the flare, I have no idea what the spots are, versus what the smudge is, versus a hotspot reflection. I end up turning layers on and off trying to figure out what's what, to get my flares to look the way I want them to look, which is something that is completely unnecessary to do in Sapphire's Flare Designer. All I have to do is hover over a layer, and the Flare Designer will highlight what the component is that I'm hovering over in the layers menu, which makes it super quick and super simple to figure out what I want to turn on and off. This is not a new feature of Sapphire's Flare Designer, but one that I use on a constant basis to make my design job super simple.
Keep in mind that there are other enhancements to Sapphire 2019 like the fact that it is now optimized for top GPU acceleration for CUDA enabled NVIDIA cards, and the fact that Sapphire has the best lighting category of effects in any package out there, makes it a plug-in pack definitely worth checking out.
In closing I want to mention something extremely important. At the first look, it might not look as though there are a lot of "new" features in Sapphire 2019, with only two new effects, but for me, though, the new effects take a back seat to what is being done "under the hood". The Flare Builder is one of the best out there. The Builder Tool (S_Effect and S_Transition) and the new Animated Shape node will let you create almost limitless possibilities when it comes to creating effects looks, AND will not only teach you node-based compositing, but let you build effects like you never have before. Round all that off with a simpler to get into, top of the line motion tracker with a magnetic spline tool, that makes even the toughest roto job simpler. What the Sapphire 2019 update gives you is a tool that takes everything that is great about Sapphire, and makes it that much better and easier to work with, and for $495 it's a cost that can pay itself back in the first one or two jobs you work on.

An anisotropic laminated composite plate with a surface-mounted linear piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) disk array is studied as an example. At first, Mindlin Plate Theory is used to model Lamb waves propagating in laminates. The group velocities of flexural waves are also derived from dispersion relations and validated by experiments. Then reconstruct the response wave fields with reflected data collected by the linear PZT array. Reverse-time migration technique is then performed to back-propagate the reflected energy to the damages using a two-dimensional explicit finite difference algorithm and damages are imaged. Stacking these images together gets the final image of multiple damages. The experimental results show that the pre-stack migration method is hopeful for damage detection in composite structures.

Canada's Largest and Most Lucrative Lobster Season Begins
Normally, the launch of the winter lobster season in Nova Scotia occurs on the last Monday in November for the two fishing areas, LFA 33 & LFA 34, but the Fisheries Department changed the rules to allow for delays due to weather and safety issues. The DFO says that the opening day will be extremely delayed if the forecast calls for winds over 48 kilometers (30 mph) per hour.
Today, all the pots are in the water and catching lobsters. The lobster "market" could be characterized in a word as "soft." It is currently not "flooded" with the product, but there are plenty of tails and meat sitting in storage freezers, unsold.
Processors are not anxious to add to their frozen inventory with China still on COVID lockdown and with most of the financial "talking heads" calling for a recession next year in the US and Europe.
The "battle" for what you will eventually pay for tails and lobster meat next year is being fought today on the docks in the harbors of LFA 33 & 34. The "players" in this battle are 1.) people in the "live trade," 2.) processors of tails and meat 3.) "tubers" – people that store live lobster in tubes to ship to China for Chinese New Year and beyond. As of today, the people in the live trade are "driving the bus" and have set the dock price high such that the processors cannot afford to process and sell the tails for a loss.
They have forced the processors to sit on the sidelines, at least for the start of the season. But there are over 2000 lobster boat crews in LFA 33 & 34, and if we get a stretch of nice weather in December, the amount of product that comes ashore is astronomical, over 2 million pounds a week. So it is a gigantic "game of chicken" between the various players within the lobster industry, and we will see how it shakes out this month.

Resurrection Bay
Resurrection Bay, also known as Blying Sound, and Harding Gateway in its outer reaches, is a fjord on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska, United States. Its main settlement is Seward, located at the head of the bay. It received its name from Alexandr Baranov, who was forced to retreat into the bay during a bad storm in the Gulf of Alaska. When the storm settled it was Easter Sunday, so the bay and nearby Resurrection River were named in honor of it. Harding Gateway refers to the passage between Rugged and Cheval Islands.

View of Resurrection Bay from Miller's Landing
Resurrection Bay is the location of Caines Head, at the summit of which Fort McGilvray is situated, 650 feet (198 meters) above sea level. This fortification was constructed by the United States Armed Forces to defend against a possible invasion by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. The bay remains ice-free even in winter, making it easily navigable.[2]
It is the central theme to the song "Resurrection Bay" by John Craigie on his album Montana Tale.
It is called the "gateway to the Kenai Fjords" as many water taxis, kayak tours, anglers, and recreational boaters use the bay to access nearby Kenai Fjords National Park.
Resurrection Bay has a maximum depth of 972 feet, near the coast at Caines Head.[3]It contains many deep coves, most notably Thumb, Humpy, Bulldog, Pony and Derby Coves. To the west, Resurrection Bay is bordered by the Aialik Peninsula and the adjacent Aialik Bay. To the east, the bay is bounded by the Resurrection Peninsula and Day Harbor.
ParksEdit
Several parks are located in and around the bay. Kenai Fjords National Park is primarily accessed by boat from Seward. Caines Head State Recreation Area is here. Many visit it by boat, but there is a trail from Lowell Point State Recreation Site, a 19 acres (7.7 ha) park with beach access and trailhead parking. Parts of the trail between the two parks are only accessible at low tide, so visitors must plan accordingly.[4] Sandspit Point State Marine Park is a 1,135 acres (459 ha) undeveloped park, popular with kayakers, with beach camping and tidepooling.[5] Sunny Cove State Marine Park is a 960 acres (390 ha) park on Fox Island. It is also undeveloped and has no source of fresh water. The park consists of a beach area used for camping and landing of small boats, and steep, rocky cliffs.[6] Thumb Cove State Marine Park is one of the few developed parks in the area, featuring offshore mooring buoys for small boats, beach camping, and two public use-cabins. Visitors can view Porcupine Glacier, Spoon Glacier, and Prospect Glacier from the park.[7]

4 History Notes
Summer pudding is an uncooked, sweet bread pudding.
It is made from mixed fresh soft fruits, sugar and white bread slices.
Despite the presence of bread, summer pudding is actually extremely light, and very flavourful, and looks stunning and luscious. Even people who don't like sweets or desserts often rave about it.
In choosing the fruit, you want fruits with lots of juice because essentially, summer pudding is really a bread and fresh fruit juice pudding. Typical fruits used in Britain include blackberries, black currants, raspberries, red currants. A standard historic fruit ratio was 4 parts raspberries to 1 part red currant. Some purists stick to this ratio, and won't admit black currants or blackberries. Many people, though, like to always include a small portion of some tart fruit such as black currants to counter the sweetness of the other fruit. The reason is that many varieties of red currants sold these days have gotten sweeter than previous varieties, and lost their sharpness. Black currants add some colour contrast, too.
In North America, black currants and red currants can be hard to come by. Consequently, people use blackberries, blueberries, boysenberries, cherries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.
The berries you use can be in whatever proportion to each other you prefer, but there should be a mixture. Pit any stone fruit such as cherries first.
Taste the fruit first before you add sugar — if you find that you are using a particularly sweet variety of, say, raspberries, feel free to cut back on the sugar. Some people swear by adding some lemon zest.
Some people say they dislike the texture of the bread in summer puddings; they have almost certainly been served it made with plastic sandwich bread. You want firm, good quality white sandwich bread, ideally that you cut yourself. Really dense bread won't work, because it won't soak up the juice. Brown bread doesn't work at all, and cheaper pre-sliced bread can turn slimy. Some people like to use brioche as the bread. The bread should be cut into slices just a bit less than 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick; the crusts should be trimmed off.
This bread is used to line completely the inside of a bowl (some recipes have you lightly butter the bowl first.)
You then simmer the fruit and sugar very briefly so that the fruit starts giving off juice. You then pour the fruit and juice into the lined bowl, then top completely with bread, and place a plate on top, and a weight on top of that, and set overnight in fridge. The weight should be about 900 to 1300 g (2 to 3 pounds.) Put a plate under the bowl in the fridge to catch any juices that drip out.
To serve, run a knife along the insides, and turn out onto a plate. If you have used a bread with a good crumb to it, you should be able to turn the pudding out to reveal a perfect dome shape.
Summer pudding is traditionally served with cream, ideally a pouring double-cream.
Crème Fraîche might not always be the right substitute for cream, as the pudding can be already tangy depending on the fruit used. Custard sauce may be a better substitute. Or, instead of serving with cream, you can lighten the dessert up calorie wise by serving it with a non-fat Greek yoghurt.
Summer puddings freeze very well. But don't freeze them in a bowl or pudding basin, or the expansion may shatter your crockery. Turn it out of the mould and package up with cling film, tin foil, etc.
Literature and Lore
"Remember, most of these were winter puddings. Nevertheless we did manage to invent a summer pudding, just to fill in between seasons as it were. Although most cooks call it summer pudding, some refer to it as hydropathic pudding because it was served to patients in nursing homes and spas where, it seems, pastry was not permitted. I prefer to believe that it was a simple invention of the British cook who just happened to have a garden full of fresh summer fruit, a loaf of bread and a pudding basin. The bread, cut into slices, lined the sides of the bowl. Raspberries, red currents or blackberries, gently combined with fine sugar, filled the bowl to the brim. More slices of bread covered the top, and the whole pudding was pressed down with a weight and left to get cold. Later the pudding was turned out onto a dish. By this time, the bread had soaked up the fruit juice and the pudding had set into a homogeneous mass of rich sweet fruit, over which the cook poured cream." [1]Bailey, Adrian. The Cooking of the British Isles. New York: Time Life Books. 1969. Page 154.
Summer puddings originated at health spas and resorts in the 1800s, where it was referred to as "hydropathic pudding." It was considered healthier than desserts with butter-laden pastry.
In the early 1900s, it acquired the name of 'summer pudding'.
Alan Davidson says the first print reference to the name of summer pudding was by a Miss E.S. Poynter, a missionary to India, in 1904. [Oxford Companion to Food, Alan Davidson. Oxford: Oxford University Press. 1999. Page 770.]
Before that, there was a boiled pudding referred to as a summer pudding, but it held no resemblance. [Cassell's Dictionary of Cookery with Numerous Illustrations, Galpin:London: Cassell, Petter. 1875. Page 944.

Q: Block users from REST API endpoint while still grabbing data from it I have created 2 REST API endpoint to store the CPT data and their custom fields:
Archive Data: xyz.com/wp-json/wl/v2/businesses
Single Business data: xyz.com/wp-json/wl/v2/businesses/<ID>
Both these endpoints have been registered with the permission callbacks;
register_rest_route( 'wl/v2', '/businesses', array(
    'methods'   => WP_REST_Server::READABLE,
    'callback'  =>  'wl_businesses_posts',
    'permission_callback'   => '__return_true'
));

It is a business directory website where a common dashboard ( xyz.com/dashboard ) for each 'business' client exists and this dashboard page pulls in data for that 'business' from the Single Business data REST API endpoint above and fills the input fields on the page.
There is also another page accessible to the non-logged in visitors( xyz.com/business1 ) that is common  for all businesses and is a read-only page where visitors can check that business' details. This page too pulls data from the Single Business data REST API endpoint mentioned above.
What I am trying to accomplish is that no one except the Admin should be able to peep into the Archive Data or the Single Business data endpoints directly which displays that tall JSON data, to avoid stealing info of all the businesses registered with the site. But at the same time, I would want these endpoints to be accessible by the wp_remote_retrieve_body( wp_remote_get( $url ) );code to populate the dashboard and single business info pages.
I tried this code but it obviously also blocks the requests made by the page code to pull and populate data in the pages.
add_filter( 'rest_authentication_errors', function( $result ) {
    if ( ! empty( $result ) ) {
      return $result;
    }
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
      return new WP_Error( 'rest_not_logged_in', 'You are not currently logged in.', array( 'status' => 401 ) );
    }
    return $result;
  });

I am not necessarily looking for a code, just the direction about how to solve this problem.
------------------------------UPDATE----------------------------:
Like I said, since it is a business directory, even non logged-in users should see the archive pages and single business pages of the CPT. I've learned recently about the 'permission callbacks' in register_rest_route  arguments, so how would I pass a custom 'key' argument in the wp_remote_get function and receive and validate it in the permission callback?

A: Ok I've managed to secure my endpoint by passing a param in the request, and only if it matches in the permission callback of the rest endpoint, then the data is retrieved:
$userData = wp_remote_retrieve_body( wp_remote_get( $url,  array(
        'body' => array(
            'param' => '1'
        ),
        'sslverify' => false,
    )  ) );

And in the register_rest_route:
'permission_callback'   => function( WP_REST_Request $request ) {
            if ( '1' == $request->get_param( 'param' ) ) {
           return true;
         } else {
       return false;
    }
 }

I'm so happy I wont have to use a plugin for this :D

Located approximately 20 miles west of Austin, Lake Travis is an exciting place to live and a popular destination for water and outdoor enthusiasts. The South Lake Travis area is generally considered to include Lakeway, Bee Cave, The Hills, Briarcliff and Spicewood. The Lake is 63.5 miles long, 4.5 miles wide at its widest point and wraps the Lake with 270 miles of shoreline. Spanning 18,000-19,000 acres, the Lake generously offers a grand natural environment with beaches, mountain biking, camping, hiking, boat rentals,marinas, and prime fishing spots.
In the Summer of 2010, Lake Travis played host to a "a grand celebration of the boating lifestyle" and hosted the signature AquaPalooza "boat only" music event. Local boat dealer, Sail & Ski, was chosen by Sea Ray as its' number one boat dealer in sales in 2010 and approached the owners, Rod Malone and Buzz Watkins about hosting the signature event in Lake Travis.
Over 70,000 people flocked to Lake Travis and spent the day on their boats, jet-ski's and tubes floating while enjoying the day-long event which included country super-star Brad Paisley among others. Visit the AquaPalooza website for pictures, video and more information about the great event.


Shedding weight is generally seen as an incredibly difficult task. One need just shop around to see evidence of how true that statement is really. People are constantly looking for ways to shed weight. But in the same time society is getting heavier in place of skinnier. There's numerous reasons for this. But one of the most crucial boils down towards the sheer ceomplexity of the matter. There is a large number of studies and millions of statistics regarding the science behind weight reduction. Nevertheless the sheer amount of information out there helps it be nearly impossible to manage. Thankfully you will find solutions which wrapup the top science into a straightforward to use package. Cutting edge weight loss supplements puttogether a few of the many wonderful findings into something which literally takes little more when compared to a second-to use.
At this time the most uncomplicated way to slim down is through anything referred to as CLA. CLA works by way of a number of different methods. One of the most significant is the fact that it boosts one's natural metabolism. This may primarily rampup calorie burning towards the absolute ideal. In addition, it serves to counteract issues involving the thyroid. This, consequently, will most likely produce localized fat loss within some regions. For example, it'll frequently make quick work of any belly-fat. It will also help promote muscle growth. That is specially essential for weight-loss as all that additional muscle may also be burning off calories. As well as the increased metabolism will help to create all of the added energy needed to make use of these new muscles and build a lot more. All of this blended makes CLA a fat loss solution which takes the complexities of modern science and wraps it all up in a single an easy task to get supplement. For instance weight loss supplements that work.

Evaluation of projects and interventions designed to prevent or address the harm connected with modern slavery is a critical step on the road toward identifying "what works". Reviews of evaluations already undertaken offer an opportunity to take stock of the state of the evaluation field – what has been evaluated and what has not – but also to identify and examine results emerging from existing evaluation work. From these evaluations we are able to better understand what has already been tried and tested and shown to be effective or ineffective, what we do not know, and what remains unclear.
The Promising Practices Database, created by the Walk Free Foundation, collates impact and programmatic evaluations of anti-slavery and counter trafficking programming. Each evaluation is categorized by country, region, type of modern slavery, and impact of the evaluation. The Database was developed so that project developers, researchers, and academics could quickly identify relevant evaluation work that had already been completed, but also seek to better understand what works – and what does not— through a simple search by country, target population, type or sector of slavery, or type of intervention.

Roe: Veterans Are Now Able to Choose Burial Receptacle at Andrew Johnson National Cemetery | U.S. Representative Phil Roe, M.D.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Phil Roe, M.D. (R-Tenn.) released the following statement after President Trump signed H.R. 4910, the Veterans Cemetery Benefit Correction Act, into law on Friday, June 15, 2018. This law will require the U.S. Department of Interior to provide an outer burial receptacle for each new grave of eligible veterans and family members interred in an open veterans cemetery administered by the National Park Service, and includes the Andrew Johnson National Cemetery in Greeneville, Tennessee.
Background: On March, 1, 2018, S. 2372 was introduced by Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Isakson and passed the Senate by unanimous consent. On May 7, 2018, the House passed H.R. 4910, and on May 24, 2018, the Senate passed this bill as well.
