Mike Pateras with his heavily customized 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STi: "I got completely carried away with it."
Miroslaw Kaczala with his 2015 Subaru Outback 2.5i. "The majority of people who have Outbacks don't do anything to them. I wanted to change it up." So he added an awning that gives him a shaded place to sit no matter where he seeks adventure.
Travis Bennett brought his 2017 WRX to the HyperMeeting and started popping in a custom grille and fog light bezels right there in the parking lot with the help of his little friend Michael, who's two and a half years old, and Michael's dad Shane, a coworker and friend.
Jaleesa Thibeault with her 2017 Crosstrek Sport: "I made the car stand out, but I'm more shy."
Devin Doyle is the clear winner of the Dirtiest Subaru award in his 2005 Impreza.
Ryan Romanoski bought his 1989 Subaru Legacy sedan last October and converted it from a front-wheel-drive automatic to an all-wheel-drive manual – a process that cost him a portion of his index finger!
Kevin Blair with his 1990 Legacy RS Type RA, a "holy grail" that he bought from someone who'd had it exported from Japan for just $4,600 back in 2011.
Hiro Maeda, Sherry Majid, and Mickey the Shih Tzu attending their first HyperMeeting. Maeda brought his 2008 Impreza, "a car I could do whatever I wanted with."
Elliott Albernaz with his 1999 Subaru Impreza. Yes, there's Uncle Ben's sitting in a rice cooker pot where the battery should be.
The 16th annual Toronto Subaru Club HyperMeeting was held at Subaru Canada's head office in Mississauga this weekend. And if those words immediately found you forming a preconception in your mind of what sorts of people might turn up at such an event, you might consider shelving them.
This gathering of the brand's most ardent enthusiasts, which is free and raises money to support Ronald McDonald House, attracts people from all walks of life. Some are life-long importers and tuners, while others bought their cars first and only later stumbled into the diverse and dedicated world that is Subie fandom.
Out of the several hundred cars parked in every available space at Subaru Canada and its adjacent parking lots, there are a few that can't help but stand out from the crowd.
Mike Pateras of Toronto started eight years ago with a stock 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STi before having a World Rally Championship conversion kit shipped from Europe, originally just because he liked the look of it. Over time, he became inspired by Gymkhana and added a carbon-fibre body, Cusco suspension, a custom exhaust, and an engine swap that gives him a power output of 650 horsepower at the wheels. At some point, his Instagram channel started blowing up. "I got completely carried away with it," he says, adding that he's planning to compete with this car at time attack, autocross, and other competitive events.
Miroslaw Kaczala of Mississauga says that his 2015 Subaru Outback 2.5i is nothing fancy – he's done a few simple modifications to it like some light decaling. But the standout feature is the addition of an awning that gives him a shaded place to sit no matter where he seeks adventure. So far, he's used it in Bracebridge, Tobermory, and Ottawa, and he's planning to head to the Subie Festival in Quebec with it in a couple of weeks. "It's different," he says. "The majority of people who have Outbacks don't do anything to them. I wanted to change it up."
Travis Bennett of Mississauga brought his 2017 WRX to the HyperMeeting and started popping in a custom grille and fog light bezels right there in the parking lot with the help of his little friend Michael, who's two and a half years old, and Michael's dad Shane, a coworker and friend. They love working on their cars together, but life gets in the way sometimes. The HyperMeeting gives them an excuse and a place to hang out and spend some time together. "What better place to do it than right in front of Subaru?" Bennet says.

One look at Jaleesa Thibeault's car and you'd assume that the Brantford native is the flamboyant type, but that's not the case at all. "I made the car stand out, but I'm more shy," she says. She's not a huge fan of posing for a photo next to her 2017 Crosstrek Sport, though she admits it garners a lot of attention since she replaced her initial shooting-star wrap with this very sparkly purple. She's looking forward to taking it to the Subie Festival in Quebec because the event will give her plenty of opportunity to take her Crosstrek off-roading.
There's a small contingent vying for the Dirtiest Subaru award, which is a real thing at some meets but here in Toronto appears to be for bragging rights only. Regardless, Devin Doyle is the clear winner in his 2005 Impreza that he brought from London. He's done all of his modifications himself, including installing a turbo WRX motor and adding what he estimates is roughly 6.5 inches of lift to the suspension. "I live in the country where there are lots of farmers' streets I can drive around on," he says. "It's built to be actually used, not just a show car."
When Ryan Romanoski of Hamilton bought this 1989 Subaru Legacy sedan last October, he was delighted to find a car in this body style that he was able to keep it mostly stock – but he wasn't too hot on the tan interior. He sourced parts from Australia and Japan, molded closely matched carpeting from a 1950s Dodge, and dyed the remaining parts by himself, all in the name of turning the interior black. He also converted it from a front-wheel-drive automatic to an all-wheel-drive manual, a process that cost him a portion of his index finger. "There's so much work that's gone into this," he says. "I'm hoping to take home (a prize), maybe second place."
After I showed interest in his car, Romanoski pointed me toward Kevin Blair while admitting that his car is even cooler. Blair, who lives in Burlington, also owns a pre-facelift first-generation Legacy sedan: his is a 1990 RS Type RA, a "holy grail" that he bought from someone who'd had it exported from Japan for just $4,600 back in 2011. "I stole it from him," Blair says. The car is still right-hand drive and is stock "as much as humanly possible, bumper to bumper, apart from the battery." Blair estimates that his car is one of no more than 200 examples of this model that exists worldwide.
When Hiro Maeda went car shopping, he didn't actively seek out a Subaru. But after he bought his 2008 Impreza, he fell in love with it. He and his girlfriend Sherry Majid, along with their Shih Tzu, Mickey, came out to their first HyperMeeting along with some other friends. Maeda has added some wrapping to his car, including a carbon-fibre finish on the hood and gloss black on the bumpers and side skirts, and has upgraded the exhaust as well. "I've always had a thing for cars," he says. "My goal was to be in a position to have a car I could do whatever I wanted with."
Elliott Albernaz of Mississauga is a mechanic who bought his first car, a 1999 Impreza, eight years ago. Since then, he's had it down to a shell and has completely rebuilt it, from adding a bored and stroked 2.2-litre engine with a rotated Borg Warner turbocharger to installing a six-speed manual transmission, putting Brembos on all four wheels, and custom-building fibreglass fender flares and side skirts. But why is there Uncle Ben's sitting in a rice cooker pot where the battery should be? "I put a wing on the car, and one of the guys at work called me a ricer," he says. "American muscle car guys think any mod is a ricer, so I went with it." Albernaz even relocated the battery to the trunk to make space for his rice pot. That's some serious dedication to a theme.

Veedercrest has been making award winning wines since its founding in 1972. It was one of the participants at the infamous Judgement of Paris. It has won significant awards at most of the major wine judgings around the world. President Jimmy Carter and his White House dinner guests and Pope John Paul II during visits to America enjoyed Veedercest wines.
The Napa Valley Vintners annually sponsors the very prestigious Napa Valley Auction, the largest fundraising event annually for the wine industry nationally. This year the Napa Valley Auction raised over $18,000,000 for charitable benefits.
The now infamous "Judgment of Paris" was a wine competition held in Paris on May 24, 1976, organized by British Wine merchant Steven Spurrier. Mr. Spurrier personally chose all the California wines, including Veedercrest, for judging by a panel of noted French judges (including Sommeliers and or owners of Michelin three star Parisian restaurants, Directors of three of France's most prestigious wine institutes, and French wine writers).
Results of the 2014 American Fine Wine Competition (AWFC) were announced Friday, January 31, 2014 at a reception hosted by The Preiser Key at Cole's Chophouse, Napa, California, and concurrently by simulcast by AFWC President and Co Founder Shari Gherman at the Florida International University School of Hospitality, Miami.

– A voracious insect – the bronze birch borer – is picking off beloved birch trees throughout Oregon.
Common for many years in Eastern Oregon, the hard-to-control beetle first showed up west of the Cascades in 2003 in Portland, where it has killed hundreds of trees. It slowly migrated and is now found in abundance as far south as Klamath Falls, according to Nicole Sanchez, a horticulturist with Oregon State University Extension Service.
Sanchez has co-authored a detailed fact sheet on the problem called Homeowner Guide to Managing Bronze Birch Borer in the Upper Klamath Basin. The information is relevant for the entire state.
The first sign of infestation is flagging branches with sparse, stunted and yellowing leaves at the tree canopy, she said. Twigs will fall and eventually the branches lose their leaves. Ultimately – often before a homeowner notices – the tree will have so much damage it's impossible to save. Caught in early stages, death can be averted.
There's no easy way to defend against the pest. Besides cultural practices like mulching and watering, which can help fend off the insect if the tree isn't yet infested or early in the infestation, the only solution for control is chemicals.
Sanchez, who has seen trees killed by inappropriate applications of pesticide, cautions homeowners to use them correctly. The pesticides – which are usually used as a drench – should be applied at the tree's drip line (where the branches reach) – not next to the trunk. If possible, hire a certified arborist.
Birch are wind pollinated, but the catkins may be attractive to bees so insecticides should only be applied after flowering has occurred in spring to reduce possible exposure. Don't apply systemic insecticides, which are the most commonly used, when flowers that are attractive to bees are blooming nearby. Remember you must follow the instructions on the label. It's the law.
The adult bronze birch borer looks like a tiny long football and is olive to brown with coppery metallic wings and body. It lays eggs under loose pieces of bark at the top of the tree. After about two weeks, the eggs hatch and the larvae bore into the cambium layer where water and nutrients move around. As it feeds, the frass it produces plugs up pathways. It feeds for two years, during which it does considerable damage, and then emerges. By the time you see the D-shaped holes, damage can be significant.
"Because the insect larvae feed at the top of the tree, damage sometimes is not obvious right away," Sanchez said.
Bronze birch borer, a North American native, has plagued the eastern United State for decades. It is attracted to the most common and popular birches with white bark such as the European white birch (Betula pendula), white-barked Himalayan birch (Betula utilis var. jacquemontii) and European white weeping birch (Betula pendula 'Youngii').
The best bet are native river birch (Betula nigra), beautiful trees with flaking bark in variable colors from tan to light brown, that have proven to be resistant to the insect. Other resistant trees are the hybrids 'Heritage' river birch (Betula nigra 'Heritage') and 'Whitespire Senior' gray birch (Betula populifolia 'Whitespire Senior,' which tends toward white.
Stressed trees are a magnet for bronze birch borers, so keep them healthy. Birch like moisture and a cool atmosphere for its shallow roots so watering and mulch are essential. Water regularly and deeply (about 10 inches). Some shade is not a bad idea, either. Birch naturally live at the edge of forests, not in the ground between sidewalk and street.
In Sanchez' publication you'll find a chart showing the advance of the damage, ranging from a healthy tree to one that needs to be removed.


Four new books! I am preparing a talk for Text Marks the Spot, the schools program of the Bendigo Writer's Festival, so right now, I am reading, reading, reading. Which is great, as we're in the depths of winter and there is nothing nicer than snuggling up with a cup of tea, a nanna rug and a book.
That being said, I really, really like books that aren't too long! It's great to find a satisfying read that isn't a marathon. Short doesn't have to mean simple, just as simple language can tell a complex story. How to Bee (reviewed earlier) is one example. So is Martine Murray's lovely Marsh and Me.
Joey Green is a good kid. He's kind and smart and funny, but just not the sort of boy who gets noticed. He's kind of hesitant. He lacks confidence. He's so scared of failure that he doesn't try. He plays guitar and would love to take part in The Battle of the Bands – he'd like to be friends with some of the kids at his school – but his doubts are holding him back.
At school, there's a footy match on at lunchtime. The guys are all playing, except for me and Digby. Digby is watching a trail of ants. So he isn't talking. I am sitting in the sun, half watching the guys, half wishing I was one of them, half glad to be just sitting there and not showing how bad I am at ball stuff. I know that's a lot of halves, but that's what it's like inside my mind. It doesn't add up neatly.
When he meets Marsh – a most unusual girl in a tree house – Joey's life begins to change. This is a gentle, thoughtful book about friendship, music, taking chances, risking failure – and above all, how you can enter into the mysterious inner lives of other human beings.
Take Three Girls is a collaboration between 3 well-known YA writers, Simmone Howell, Fiona Wood and Cath Crowely. Three very different girls – Ady, Kate and Clem – are taking part in a Wellness Program at their posh private school, St Hilda's. They've all been smeared by PSST, a misogynistic cyber-bullying website. This is a compelling look at life as a 16 year old in Year 10, and it's definitely for "young adults" – maybe readers from 14 or 15.
Lots of questions are raised. How do I know who I am? What I want to be? Is belonging the same as fitting in? Do I have to do what I'm expected to do? Expect to explore issues of friendship, honesty, love, sexuality, change, and courage. It's also pretty funny in parts, so expect to laugh as well.
Lifespan of Starlight is #1 in a trilogy by Thalia Kalkipsakis. It was first published in 2015, and actually slipped by me then. It's speculative fiction (as we seem to be calling sci-fi these days) and deals with time travel. As we begin the book, the future is now – it's 2084, Melbourne. Unequal, surveilled, grimy and run-down, with food and water rationed, every citizen is supposed to be chipped so that each aspect of their lives – where they go, what they do, how much they spend – is monitored. One day, in a park in Footscray, an unchipped, illegal teenager called Scout makes a shocking discovery. Soon, she and two friends are pushing the limits of what's possible as they test the ability to move around into the future.The authorities are closing in. Are they desperate enough to risk everything they know? This novel is speedy and exciting, with superior world-building. #2 is Split Infinity and the 3rd instalment, Edge of Time, has just been released. This is for you, if you you're into dystopian fiction and would like to hear an Australian voice.
From the future to now. World building usually is used in reference to fantasy or sci fi titles, but in this case, I'll use it in reference to Ellie Marney's White Nights. Ellie's the author of the best-selling Every trilogy, which reimagined Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson as a couple of Australian teenagers. Here, she has created a realistic and believable small country town as the setting for this novel. Teenager Bo Mitchell is a good kid. He's into sport, he loves his family and friends. So far, so ordinary. Then Bo's family life starts to get seriously messy. And he befriends the new girl in his class, "feral" Rory, who comes from an alternative, secretive, off the grid community called The Garden of Eden. Secrets, lies and obsessions can have devastating consequences. This has Ellie Marney's trademark suspenseful plotting and gritty characterisation.


Parang Tritis is one of the tourist destinations I have long wanted to visit. I want to enjoy the atmosphere of this beach with Widut of course. Our opportunity to date indeed exists after the marriage and Eid in 2018 just arrived there. That was actually without a plan ahead of time but a plan that emerged spontaneously.
The trip to Parang Tritis from the place of stay takes about 1.5 hours. We arrived at the Parang Tritis terminal around 10:00 a.m. and immediately walked to the beach on foot. We could take a peek at the gadget to see if there was online transportation that could be ordered here. I see the Go-Jek application there are no drivers available in this tourist area. Even though! one of the goals I want to go to is Parang Kusumo sand dune. Since I first came to Parang Kusumo during the PKL majoring in Geography, I was very fascinated by the forces of nature that formed the Parang Kusumo landscape.
That afternoon, on Parang Tritis beach, I did not allow K to play the waves. According to the bus driver we were riding, the previous afternoon there were 2 missing people who were dragged by the waves. The Tourism Office also urged caution when playing waves because many jellyfish pulled over to the beach and there were some tourists who were stung by it.
The vast Parang Tritis tourist area makes us tired to carry the K along the way. For this reason, we took the initiative to take turns holding him. Moreover, the distance from Parang Tritis to Parang Kusumo is quite far according to the Widut, my wife.
During a trip around the tourist area, the K is always interested in the freshwater baths available on the edge of Parang Tritis beach. Indeed when we were there, the air temperature was very hot and the sun was so blazing.
Our trip stopped only at the new Parang Tritis tourist area. Widut had given up and invited to find lodging to rest first. Finally Parang Kusumo was not visited. Actually I'm a little disappointed.
Because Parang Kusumo was not visited at that time, then I decided to look for accommodation in the area near there so that if I continued the trip to Parang Kususmo it was not far away. But it turned out that after seeing a number of inns there was nothing suitable. finally I decided to go back to the main highway and look for lodging around there.
Many of the lodgings we met but there were no matches. I turned off the lodging that was sought cheap but safe and comfortable. Besides that the yard must also be broad to give space to the K playing around. He will get bored and fussy if he can't play running. Like being imprisoned. Because I did not find suitable accommodation, I decided to invite Widut to rent Anoman's lodging. Lodging that I once occupied lived for 3 days while attending a practical work majoring in Geography. The cost is quite cheap, that is, from Rp. 30,000. We took a room that cost Rp. 60,000 according to mature calculations.

Dot-com Bust Ahead for Tech Stocks, Says Fairfax's Watsa
April 9, 2014 by Katia Dmitrieva
Prem Watsa, head of Canadian insurer Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd., said investors in technology companies including Twitter Inc. may soon be crying as the stock prices are unsustainable.
"There's nothing underlying the value of these companies," Watsa said Wednesday at the company's annual meeting in Toronto, referring to a chart that included price-to-earnings ratios for Twitter, Netflix Inc. and Facebook Inc. "The last time this happened was in the dot-com era. This will end in tears."
Investors have been pulling out of technology stocks for much of the year in favor of companies with stable dividends and earnings. The technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index fell the most in two years on April 4 before reversing direction by rising yesterday and today.
In his annual letter to shareholders last month, Watsa warned of a technology industry bubble similar to 1999. He pointed to San Francisco-based Twitter, which rallied after its November initial public offering, as one of the firms whose market value was based on "extraordinary speculation," given its revenue.
"If you thought that Twitter was grossly overvalued at $26 per share, it promptly doubled," Watsa said in the letter. "This sort of speculation will end just like the previous tech boom in 1999 to 2000— very badly!"
Jim Prosser, a spokesman for Twitter, said the company had no comment.
BlackBerry Bet
Shares of the social-media firm slid 34 percent this year through Tuesday to $41.78 in New York. Fairfax gained 12 percent during that period, outpacing the 5.5 percent advance of the benchmark Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index.
Watsa, 63, a native of Hyderabad, India, founded Fairfax in 1985. He shaped his contrarian investment style after value investor Warren Buffett, adding out-of-favor securities to his portfolio. The firm gained from the 2008 financial crisis when Watsa bet on declines in the creditworthiness of U.S. banks and insurers.
Fairfax is the largest shareholder of BlackBerry Ltd., the Waterloo, Ontario-based company it failed to take private last year and instead financed with partners including Qatar Holding LLC and Manulife Financial Corp. It will probably take the struggling smartphone maker as long as two years to turn around, Royal Bank of Canada said in a note yesterday.
Watsa said today he still considers BlackBerry a good value investment and that the firm's performance will improve over time.

Gulf Coast might lead U.S. out of recession
By Dan Wallach
Published 12:00 am CST, Saturday, February 27, 2010
For the Gulf Coast to escape the recession, and lead the nation in doing so, developing countries in Asia must recover as well, a Federal Reserve economist told Southeast Texans Friday.
"The recovery is under way in the United States," said Robert W. Gilmer, vice president and senior economist of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. "Can the Gulf Coast get out in front? That depends on developing Asia."
"It looks pretty good," Gilmer told a group of bankers and economic developers at Entergy Texas, whose economic development group arranged for Gilmer's visit.
"Recovery is here and we're sharing in it," he said. "Whether it's fast or slow depends on the developing world. Otherwise, we'll be the tail dragging behind the dog for awhile."
Oil prices are stable, natural gas prices remain low and a weaker dollar compared with other world currencies make exports from the United States more attractive, he said.
What is an advantage Southeast Texas has in the race to end the recession? Read the answer to that question and more of this article in Saturday's Beaumont Enterprise.

Francisco de Zurbarán was a Spanish Baroque painter who mastered a naturalistic style. The majority of his work followed religious themes. Francisco de Zurbarán was born circa November 7, 1598, probably in Fuente de Cantos, Spain (the date and place of his baptism). As a teenager, he studied painting, and soon was creating pieces for monasteries in Spain. Later, Zurbarán also sent his paintings to the New World. As styles changed, his popularity began to fade before his death at age 65 on August 27, 1664, in Madrid, Spain.


The Saab 91 Safir first flew in 1945 and was designed by A J Andersson who previously designed the Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann and therefore has some similarities. It saw service as a trainer (Sk 50) and as a liaison aircraft (Tp 91) in the Swedish Air Force from 1949 until 1993. Ethiopia, Finland, Japan, Norway, Tunisia and Austria also bought Safir for their Air Forces. The Safir became popular in civilian use and have been used in many places over the world.
Here are pictures of four Swedish planes, two at Västerås Flygmuseum, Västerås, Sweden and two at Aeroseum, Gothenburg, Sweden. The two at Aeroseum are photographed during maintenance but all four are in flying condition! The last one is the only flying Saab 91A Safir, it has a de Havilland Gipsy Major engine as opposed to the six and four cylinder Lycoming engines used in the later models.
Building the Saab 91 Safir in 1/48?
The only available kit at the moment is the SAAB 91 B/C/D Safir from Tarangus. It's a reasonably good kit, you can read my review of the kit here. It has decals from the Swedish, Ethiopian and Finnish air forces.

CANTON, OH – The Canton Charge (9-15), powered by the Cleveland Cavaliers, fell to the Northern Arizona Suns (5-24), 106-92. The shorthanded Charge dressed nine players on the heels of forward Bonzie Colson signing with the Milwaukee Bucks earlier in the day.
Seeking back-to-back wins for the first time this season, the Suns jumped out to an early 9-0 lead before Charge guard Kobi Simmons stopped the run with a contested layup to put the hosts on the board. Suns guard Peter Jok connected on all three of his three point attempts in the first quarter to score 11 points and help push the Suns' advantage to as many as 18 in the early going. The Suns shot an impressive 64% from the field, including 75% from three point range (6-of-8) to hold a 34-19 lead after one period of play.
The Charge defense responded in the second quarter, holding Northern Arizona to just 35% shooting from the field. Simmons scored nine of his 13 first half points in the second quarter, connecting on all four attempts. Charge G Scoochie Smith hit back-to-back three pointers at the end of the quarter and despite shooting 29% from the field in the half, the Charge were able to chip away the Suns lead, trailing by only nine entering the break, 51-42.
The Suns offense heated back up in the third quarter as the visitors shot 59% from the field on 10-of-17 attempts. Canton attacked the rim in the third, drawing 11 fouls and connecting on 15-of-20 free throw attempts. Despite the aggressive play by Canton, the Suns pushed their lead to 17 with 30 seconds remaining in the quarter. Making his home debut, Charge guard Malik Newman connected on a three pointer with 9.2 seconds remaining to cut into the lead, with the Charge trailing 83-69 entering the fourth.
The Suns maintained their lead throughout the fourth quarter, earning the wire-to-wire win. The road win marks the first time the Suns have had consecutive wins on the road dating back to February of 2018. The loss extends Canton's home losing streak to four games.
Charge forward Sir'Dominic Pointer scored a career-high 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting while grabbing seven rebounds and blocking three shots in a season-high 39 minutes. Pointer's four made three-point field goal attempts tied a career-high previously set on December 27th vs. Grand Rapids. Simmons netted 19 points and Smith added 16 points, five rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes.
Six Suns scored in double figures. Jok lead the Suns with 23 points on 9-of-17 shooting. Forward Aaron Epps recorded a double-double off of the bench, scoring 13 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Phoenix Suns Two-Way forward George King had an all-around effort with 16 points, seven rebounds and eight assists in a team-high 35 minutes.

Chinese Hospital Exceeds Local Hiring Goal, Provides 100,000 Work Hours for San Francisco Resident Construction Workers
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Chinese Hospital, with over 100 years of service to Chinatown and San Francisco, exceeded the 25% goal of hiring local construction workers to reach 29% in the building of the new hospital. The project gave construction workers living in San Francisco over 100,000 work hours.
Chinese Hospital's local hire success demonstrates the impact a privately-owned enterprise can have when it partners with a third-party community monitor, Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), to commit to hiring San Francisco resident construction workers. Prior to the Chinese Hospital project, CAA supported the construction of Chinatown City College to achieve 32% local hire.
CAA commends the local hire success of the Hospital and the strong efforts of general contractor DPR Construction. CAA Community Advocate Laylaa Abdul-Khabir says, "With an active collaboration between the Hospital, DPR Construction, CityBuild and our union partners, we ensured a diverse labor force were given the first opportunities to earn a livable wage."
The San Francisco Local Hiring Policy for Construction, now in its 6th year, has been heralded as the most ambitious and successful local hiring policy in the nation. In 2010, with the advocacy of Chinese for Affirmative Action and other community groups, the policy transitioned the "good faith" efforts for local hiring on City-funded construction projects to mandatory levels of San Francisco resident participation. Local hiring is an investment in San Francisco and helps ensure local dollars benefit local communities.
Ka Kit Yun, a Chinatown resident and Chinese immigrant, works as a carpenter on the New Hospital. Yun says, "I have been on this project almost three years. I live very close by, and I don't have to travel that much. It helped my family a lot to work this job. I think local hiring on construction projects helps local workers afford to stay in San Francisco."
For 47 years, CAA has been dedicated to creating opportunities and promoting equity for all and especially for low income, limited-English proficient immigrants.
CAA makes a real difference in the lives of community members every day. Please join us in the cause of civil rights by making a donation now.

Transmission Beginning Today of Major Animation Series from BBC Scotland
By Administrator in Broadcasting, Media News · August 9, 2009 · No comments
Transmission begins today of a major animation series for children made in Glasgow by BBC Scotland's Children's Department.
Seventy characters inhabit the OOglies' world – among them motor-biking eggs, dancing underpants and a daredevil tomato. Set in an 'ordinary' household where just about everything comes to life, Ooglies is being broadcast every weekday for the next few weeks.
It was made over four months in a Glasgow industrial unit and involved more than 40 animators, designers, model-makers, wire-painters and editors, led by Scots art director Jason Orr, whose credits include another BBC Scotland production,Shoebox Zoo, and production designer, Laura Donnelly, whose credits include Monarch of the Glen and Half Moon Investigations.
Lead animators include Mole Hill (Creme Egg and Dairylea commercials, Yoho Ahoy for BBC Worldwide) and Bruce Husband (Little Robots for Cosgrove Productions, Haunted Hogmanay for Ko Lik Films). Says Husband: "It is terrific to be back working in animation in Scotland. It is something that doesn't happen often enough, but hopefully OOglies will change that.
"What has been especially great is the team coming together with top names in animation and design working alongside trainees, building up a diverse range and levels of expertise here."
There were also some breakthroughs for UK animation, with the team first to use a digital animation software pioneered in North America, and a production rate for each animator of 20-to-25 seconds a day, almost three times the 'normal' speed for stop-frame animation.
The series has been created and written by in-house BBC Scotland team, Tim Dann, series producer, Nick Hopkin and Austin Low, with Sue Morgan as executive producer.
Andy Wyatt, ex-Aardman and Fictitious Egg and currently Head of Animation at University College, Falmouth, has been the animation supervisor.
Said series producer, Nick Hopkin: "This is a major project for BBC Scotland. As far as we know there hasn't been an animation project on this scale in Scotland before."

How to Think about Production and Entrepreneurship
Lee esto en Español
10/18/2022Per Bylund
[Chapter 5 of Per Bylund's new book How to Think about the Economy: A Primer.]
Why do we produce? For the simple reason that nature doesn't automatically satisfy all of our needs and wants. Wild animals, grains, and berries are not enough to sustain the world population. Computers, airplanes, and hospitals do not grow on trees.
In other words, the means available to us are scarce. When we have more uses for something than we can possibly fulfill with what we have available, we must economize. That is, we need to make choices and consider the tradeoffs. It then makes sense to be careful in how resources are used so we don't waste them or use them for the wrong things.
There are two important strategies for dealing with scarcity. First, there is rationing, which means we limit our use of a resource so that it lasts longer. This is a common and appropriate strategy for any specific resource that is finite. For example, someone with only limited water and food—and no hope of gaining access to more—would benefit from restricting their drinking and eating to stay alive longer. However, this strategy, while intuitive, is typically inappropriate for society at large, and especially, markets.
The better strategy is production, which economizes value. Simply put, production allows us to satisfy more wants with the resources available—it creates more "bang" for the "buck" rather than only spreading out the "buck."
Production to Overcome Scarcity
Production alleviates the burden of scarcity by creating better means. It creates more value by changing, manipulating, and improving what nature provides. Because we engage in production, we can satisfy many more wants—and more highly valued wants—than would otherwise be possible.
The better we become at production, the more and better suited the means that are available to us. This is what "economic growth" means. The "larger" an economy is the more productive it is, which means it is better at satisfying consumer wants. It creates more value.1
Many consider bread to be a valued means of satisfying hunger. Whether or not we love bread, most of us find it more satisfying than munching on raw wheat and yeast and washing it down with water. Therefore we mix wheat flour and yeast together and make it into bread: the additional value of the bread justifies its production. We gain value even though it means that we use additional resources—oven, electricity, manpower—and must wait for the dough to rise and then bake.
It is easy to jump to conclusions and assume that the bread is valued more than the ingredients because additional resources were used to make it. This is false. It is the other way around: we choose to invest the resources—ingredients, manpower, time—because we expect the bread to give us greater satisfaction. By dedicating resources to making bread, including gaining the knowledge and expertise necessary to do it, the economy's capability to produce value increases. The investment makes us better off not only because we get bread, but because we gain the ability to bake bread. For as long as bread is a valued good and the ability to bake it is retained, the investment creates more value.
It is the expected value of the bread that makes the investment worth pursuing. If it were the case that something is worth more because we use more resources to produce it, then we are not actually economizing. Why use fewer resources if using more makes the good more valuable? We would then be better off the more resources we used. This is, of course, nonsense. We economize because using more resources than necessary is wasteful. We can produce more valuable output using those inputs if we avoid wasting them.
However, resource use and value output often correlate—they seem to go hand in hand, at least after the fact. The reason is that the expected value justifies the costs. In other words, if we aim to produce something that we expect to be of great value, then we can afford to use resources to produce it. In contrast, if we aim to produce a good that will be of only limited value, then we cannot justify using nearly as many resources. The costs are chosen based on the expected value that is being produced. This means that a premium or luxury product is not more expensive to buy because it is produced using rare, expensive materials—it was produced using rare, expensive materials because the good is more expensive to buy. Value determines cost, not the other way around.
This sounds backward, so let's illustrate by again considering making bread. Bread is a consumption good, so it is easy to understand its value: it directly satisfies a want—it makes us better off because it satisfies hunger and tastes good. People may value bread differently, but they all value it for offering them some personal satisfaction. But what about the things that were needed to make the bread? The flour, yeast, water, oven, and electricity are not directly enjoyed by consumers but are merely means used to produce the final good. They only indirectly satisfy consumers by making it possible to make bread.
These resources have value because they contribute to making bread. We can easily see this if we add resources that do not contribute to the consumer experience. Imagine if the baker buys a car engine and places it in the bakery. It's a cost to the bakery. But does it add value to the bread? The answer is: not at all. The engine does not increase the bread's value for consumers. Consumers do not value the bread higher and are not willing to pay a higher price for it just because the baker purchased an engine. Similarly with different types of flour or different ovens, which do contribute to the output. Consumers value the output, not the inputs. If they value wheat bread and rye bread equally, then it doesn't matter which flour the baker uses—so the cheaper would be the more economizing choice.
We can easily see this if we consider the opposite case. Imagine there is a baker and that people enjoy the bread this baker offers. Thus, the bread has value and so do the bakery and the ingredients the baker uses to make the bread. Now imagine that everyone suddenly stops wanting bread, so the baker can no longer sell it. What is the value of his bread? Zero. What would be the value of the baker's oven? The value of the oven falls too, perhaps to zero.
It is important to say "perhaps to zero," because it depends on what other uses bread ovens can be used for. If its use is only for making bread, then it no longer has a valued use. Why would anyone want a bread oven when nobody wants bread any longer? They wouldn't, so the oven is useless and has no value. But it may have scrap value if its materials (steel, glass, and so on) can be recycled and used for other purposes. The oven's value would then fall to the scrap value because that is now its highest-valued use.
This does not only apply to the oven's materials. If the oven can be used for something other than baking bread, then it might still have value higher than scrap. But the value would fall. Why? Because the reason it was used in baking and not something else is that baking was the higher-valued use. Indeed, the baker purchased or constructed the oven because it contributed to creating value. Economizing means we choose the higher-valued use because we get more value out of the resources. But this changes over time. If baking is no longer a valued use, the oven's value drops. Its value cannot be higher than its new best use in producing something else which is valued. If someone thinks of a better use for ovens than baking bread, then the oven is of higher value to that person than it is to the baker. We would then expect that person to, all else equal, offer and buy the oven from the baker at a price that is higher than the baker's valuation of it.
This simple example shows that the so-called means of production do not have value in themselves but only in terms of how they contribute to producing a valued consumer good. All productive resources have value only because they contribute to creating goods that consumers want. This is also true for something so distant from a consumer good as an oil tanker. Its value does not come from the resources used to make it but from how it is used in and contributes to valued production of consumer goods. And, of course, resources are used to make the oil tanker because it is expected to contribute to valued consumer goods. The expected value of the outcome that the oil tanker makes possible justifies the cost to produce it.
Capital and Production
Production efforts are made to create goods for consumption, which directly satisfy wants, but not all production is of consumer goods. The oven used to bake bread is an example, as is the production of flour, yeast, and the bakery. The oven was constructed with the intention of supporting bread production. The oven, in other words, makes (or was at least intended to make) it easier to make bread and thus our productivity increases.
These "means of production" that only indirectly satisfy consumer wants are called capital, or capital goods. A consumer who buys bread does not care if the baker has an oven. Consumers generally care only about the consumer good and how well it satisfies their wants—not what or how much capital is used in the process of producing it.
But while his customers do not care, the baker certainly does. With the oven, more bread can be produced with less work. The effect of using capital is more output per unit of input, typically and especially labor, which means more wants can be satisfied using the same amount of resources. For the baker, this means more bread can be baked at lower cost. The purpose of capital and why it is used and created is that it increases our productivity. We get more valued output for the invested inputs.
Productivity is not only a matter of how much of something can be produced, but also what can be produced. Indeed, economic productivity is not a technological measure of units of output—it is a measure of value. Capital makes the production of certain types of goods possible, an often overlooked but very important role.
Let's revisit the baker again. Imagine that there is no oven, but that it is possible to bake flatbreads by placing the dough on a flat rock over an open fire. This baker spends his days baking flatbread this way. It is a worthwhile undertaking because flatbreads satisfy consumer wants better than the ingredients on their own. And there are enough consumers who prefer flatbread to other types of simple bread that do not require ovens. In other words, baking flatbread is a productive use of the baker's labor, the flour, the rock, and the fire.
But an oven would make it possible for the baker to make new types of bread, which we (and, importantly, the baker) would expect to be of even greater value to consumers. Suppose a simple oven can be made from arranging flat rocks on top of the fire. Investing in gathering the rocks and arranging them in this way increases the value of the baker's bread-baking efforts. The rocks make an unsophisticated oven, but the baker can now produce other types of bread that consumers are expected to value more highly than flatbreads.
The rocks, arranged in this particular way, make a capital good: an oven. By spending time and effort to arrange the rocks over the fire, the baker has created new capital, that promises to increase the value for consumers. If things work out as planned, the result will be increased value output.
We often think of capital goods as durable. It is true that rocks last a long time, but this does not mean the oven will. In fact, use will eventually wear it down. For the oven to remain useful, repeated or continuous investments must be made to it, such as replacing broken rocks. If this is not done, the usefulness of this capital will fall over time and eventually lose its value as the oven becomes useless. We say that we "consume" capital by using it. This applies to all capital but at different rates: some capital lasts longer and is more durable and may require less maintenance.
In addition to maintaining the oven itself, other supportive investments—such as keeping the fire going and grinding flour—must also be made to keep the capital useful. The whole capital structure requires continued investments. In fact, the oven is not useful unless the other capital necessary to produce bread is kept functional. All capital goods deteriorate with use and time. In other words, capital is added to increase productivity but is itself used up in producing consumer goods. We need constant reinvestments to keep capital useful and of value.
The oven made of rocks is of course not nearly as effective as our modern-day ovens. But it might be the best the baker can do at the time. To produce a longerlasting and more effective oven, the baker would need access to steel and advanced tools that may not yet exist. Even if the baker figured out how such a modern oven could work, it may not be worth his time or effort to figure out how to turn rock into iron, iron into steel, and then make an oven out of it. He is a baker, after all. But someone else could do it. And someone else did, because today we do have modern, highly effective steel ovens.
Modern ovens are the result of centuries of investments in new and improved capital, refined designs, better materials, and more effective production technologies. We take this long and complex history for granted. But, this historical production cycle has led to the modern appliances that now are available in our neighborhood stores. The same is true for everything we can buy: every good is a refined piece of nature that was created for a single purpose—to provide us as consumers with want satisfaction.
All of those efforts that create materials, tools, machines, etc., are investments in capital that enhance production and allow us to satisfy more and more varied wants more effectively. Together, all this capital is arranged into a productive structure, that spans the whole economy, that allows us to effectively create a multitude of different goods that satisfy consumer wants.
We refer to the amount of capital, used in different combinations (such as the oven made from rocks and the fire) that allow society to produce distinct goods and services, as the economy's capital structure. This structure, as well as everything it comprises, was created. The production of new capital adds to the structure by adding or improving productive capabilities; maintenance investments extend existing capital's usefulness; and divestments and reallocations shift capital to the production of other goods, refining, adjusting, and changing the structure and thus the economy's productive capability. These actions, which bring about continuous change to the capital structure, are carried out by entrepreneurs.
The Role of the Entrepreneur
Entrepreneurs are in the business of creating our future. They do this by creating new goods or refining and improving production. In both cases, they bring about changes to the capital structure by either changing the use of existing capital or creating new capital. The aim in both is to create more value for consumers. If they are successful entrepreneurs get paid in profits. However, time and risk play an important role in this process.
Like the baker, who created a simple oven out of rocks and thereby could provide consumers with new types of bread, entrepreneurs imagine and bet that they can better satisfy consumers. This means they make investments to change things, seeking to create more value by increasing value productivity. They produce goods because they believe those goods will better serve consumers and, therefore, will be in great demand. When such an investment is successful, consumers get more value at lower cost, part of which entrepreneurs keep as profit. When it fails, which means consumers do not approve of what entrepreneurs offer, the investment loses value and may be lost completely.
The major problem entrepreneurs face is that the value of production effort is not known until it is completed. It is only when the finished good is sold that the entrepreneur learns if the investment was worthwhile—if consumers want the good. In contrast, costs are known and incurred long before the good is completed and offered for sale. Note that these costs are not merely the inputs that make the output, such as the flour, yeast, and water that are turned into bread, but also the capital needed: the oven, the bakery, etc. Even in those cases when an entrepreneur takes orders and is paid before producing the actual good, some costs are incurred as part of the not-yet-produced good. Those costs include such things as setting up the business, experimenting with capital, figuring out how to make an oven, developing a recipe or blueprint for production. Investments must be made to produce the good, which can then be sold.
This problem is often referred to as uncertainty bearing. Entrepreneurship is the economic function of bearing the uncertainty of creating future goods: production without knowledge of whether it is value creative and profitable or will it incur a loss. It is the potential for profit that justifies undertaking production and bearing the uncertainty of entrepreneurial investment. It is the possibility of suffering losses that moderates those efforts and forces entrepreneurs to be responsive to consumer wants. And entrepreneurs must be responsive, because consumers are sovereign in their choices to purchase and use goods, which means only consumers determine the value of goods.
Because the value of any good is unknown—cannot be known—before it is used, entrepreneurs invest in production based on what they imagine consumers will value. The baker created the oven because he imagined the new types of bread would serve consumers better. The higher expected value justified the cost of developing and building the oven. By undertaking this endeavor, the baker changed what is and can be produced in the economy. Indeed, the actions of entrepreneurs direct overall production by refining and adjusting the economy's capital structure. In establishing productive capability and determining what goods can and will be produced, entrepreneurship drives the market process. All goods produced and made available to us, whether they end up successful and profitable or not, are the results of entrepreneurial undertakings—entrepreneurs' uncertainty bearing.
However, while this is the outcome and implication of their efforts, individual entrepreneurs are not in the business of adjusting the capital structure for overall efficiency or the social good. Entrepreneurs invest in particular productive capabilities in pursuit of profits. But it is very difficult to figure out what consumers will find valuable, which means entrepreneurship is fraught with failure. The entrepreneurs' task is in fact made even more difficult in markets where it is not enough to produce something valuable, but they must outdo each other in terms of value. Entrepreneurs compete to serve consumers in the best possible way.
Entrepreneurs Make Mistakes
The future is very difficult to predict, but this is what entrepreneurs attempt to do: they invest in creating the future in hope that consumers will find it valuable. And they do so while competing with the visions of other entrepreneurs. So it should be no surprise that there is an extremely high rate of failure.
This may seem inefficient or wasteful, but it is not. It would be if what consumers value were known, because with such knowledge of the future, production can be easily streamlined for efficiency. Entrepreneurship, however, solves another problem. Value is in the minds of consumers—it is not known beforehand, but consumers experience it when they use a good to satisfy wants.
Very often, consumers do not themselves know how to best satisfy their wants. Instead, entrepreneurs imagine a good they think, based on their own ingenuity, experience, and understanding, will serve consumers. To provide greater value than the goods already offered for sale, and therefore have a chance to earn profits, entrepreneurs must step ahead of consumers and introduce to them a valuable solution that they perhaps had not considered. As Henry Ford is thought to have said: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."2 Indeed, most people probably thought they simply wanted faster horses, but Ford imagined that horseless buggies would offer higher value to consumers—and he was able to offer automobiles at prices that consumers would buy.
The fact is that consumers, whether or not they can say what goods they want, always choose between the goods offered to them. That's when consumers exercise their sovereignty: entrepreneurs cannot force consumers to buy anything, they can only produce goods that consumers value and therefore choose.
The calculus for a consumer is simple but difficult for entrepreneurs to foresee and meet. First, the good has to offer value by satisfying some want that the consumer has. If what the entrepreneur offers has no value to the consumer, then it is not a good.
Second, the good must offer a better, more valuable means to satisfy a want than other goods offering to satisfy that same want. If it does not, then the good is ineffective and of lesser value for satisfying that want. Consequently, the entrepreneur must offer it at a lower price to make it worthwhile to the consumer.
Third, the good must offer value that exceeds the goods that promise to satisfy other wants. Entrepreneurs compete for the consumers' money.
Fourth, the good must offer enough value for the consumer to buy it now rather than choose to hold on to their money and buy something else in the future.
The entrepreneur must provide value in accordance with all of these layers of consumer valuation.
Needless to say, entrepreneurs attempt to do something extremely difficult. They do so because they believe they will profit in some way in the end. But whether or not they do, their attempts to create value provide a crucial service to other entrepreneurs and the economy overall (we will discuss economic calculation in chapter 7). As they compete based on their own knowledge and imaginations—how they expect to best be of service to consumers—they create knowledge for the economy overall. Entrepreneurs' discoveries of what consumers value, identified by profits, guide new entrepreneurs in their efforts. Similarly with losses, which suggest to other entrepreneurs that they should try something different. Consequently, every attempted entrepreneurial undertaking can take advantage of the knowledge and experiences of previous entrepreneurs. This makes entrepreneurial value production cumulative: successes are augmented and become stepping stones for future production; errors are weeded out.
It would be wrong to disparage failing entrepreneurs, however. Even though they were unsuccessful and suffer losses, they provided the economy with an invaluable service by making information available on what does not work. This is valuable information for all other entrepreneurs. As entrepreneurs fail, the resources—capital—that they invested become available to other entrepreneurs, who can then increase their own production or try something new.
In sum, entrepreneurs serve consumers by creating our future. They do this by trying ideas for new, imagined goods and, based on their expected value, paying wages to workers and developing new capital. When entrepreneurs err in their choices, they personally suffer the loss of those investments. That loss is the totality of the investments they made in production: wages paid to employees and prices paid to capital suppliers.
1. Note that this is not about creating stuff but satisfying wants. An economy that produces more goods does not necessarily produce more value than an economy that produces fewer goods. It could simply be more wasteful. What matters is the value of the goods produced, not their number or size—and certainly not the quantity of resources that were used to produce them. Production is the process of creating value; productivity is the measure of value produced per unit of input.
2. This quote is oft repeated and makes a vital point about entrepreneurship and production, but it is doubtful that Ford actually said this.

Jaguar marks 50 Years of the XJ with a Special Edition model called the XJ50
Revealed at the Beijing motor show in both short and long-wheelbase forms, the new variant comes with the brand's 296bhp 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine and eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox, which channels drive to the rear wheels.
To mark out its special-edition status, the XJ50 wears bumpers resembling those fitted to Autobiography models and sits on 20in Venom alloy wheels. There's also a black front grille, while body colours offered with the model include Fuji White, Santorini Black, Loire Blue and Rosello Red.
The cabin is equipped with soft-grain, diamond-quilted leather seats with an embossed Jaguar logo on the headrests and XJ50 logo on the armrest. The logo is also on the tread plates, while anodised gearshift paddles and metal pedals add a sporting flair.
Jaguar design director Ian Callum said of the XJ50: "Spanning half a century, the Jaguar XJ remains true to its heritage with a wonderful balance of beautiful design, intelligent performance and indulgent luxury that ensures it stands out from the crowd."
"This is a car worth celebrating and the XJ50 pays homage to a giant within the Jaguar brand that we believe is one of the world's most stylish sporting saloons."
The XJ50 is available to order now, priced from £74,280. That makes it £13,970 more expensive than the regular XJ.


Totally out of the blue – actually, it was assigned to me by a wise employee – I've decided to revisit our popular "Cool Color Ideas" blog post from years ago to update it with today's color trends and discuss the impact they'll likely have in 2019. If you follow this simple color blueprint in your marketing materials, your competitors will surely be green with envy.
User Experience (often called UX design) is not a new concept—the first mention of it in its modern usage is from 1987—but in recent years it seems to be quite the buzzword in web design. Whereas content creation, graphic design and web development are all familiar to the average business owner, UX design and research can be a bit harder to get a high-level view of. However, gaining a basic understanding of the concept reveals the true importance of optimizing UX on every website, no matter how simple or complex.
This year in New York City, Smashing Conference focused on UX (user experience) design and front-end development. While many people think website design and development are very different areas, I came away with a new understanding of the similarities between the two disciplines. At a full-service marketing agency, new ideas like this are what keep us fresh and producing cutting-edge work. That said, good ideas deserve to be shared!

Review: Field Brewing
Julia Spalding
Remember when opening a restaurant inside a grungy little remodel on an un-fancy side of town was a foreign concept? Now, everyone's doing it, and a gleaming new arrival like Field Brewing, built from the ground up along a well-traveled stretch of burgeoning Westfield, emerges as some kind of cutting-edge business model.
If Field's blocky slate-colored presence doesn't slow the Hamilton County traffic buzzing along the town's Main Street (would anything?), it at least provides a flash of modern architectural eye candy. Its exterior—all sheets of windows set into dark horizontal slats under a pitched metal roof—is so angular and crisp, it could be home to a reclusive record producer in Laurel Canyon, or a successful graphic designer, or anyone who wears a lot of black turtlenecks. It looks like an artist's rendering of itself, and if you stand outside and peer in like an ax murderer, you can see all of its working parts.
Observe the clean-lined bar with the wooden tap pulls that spell out F-I-E-L-D and the sparkling silver brewing tanks glassed in behind it; the large letter board menu that fills a wall, featuring the day's on-draft choices; the communal tables, of course; and the diners seated in sensible blond wood–and-metal chairs like the ones that a generation slightly older than Field's target demo might remember from high school. They are eating bright roasted beets drizzled in goat-cheese vinaigrette and sprinkled with crushed pistachios; sticky confit chicken wings tossed in a sauce of mustard and Fresno peppers that renders maybe one piece in each batch violently spicy; and massive flat-patty burgers that drip with juice and housemade sauce. And beyond the counter where customers place their lunch orders, in a semi-open kitchen strung with stainless-steel cookery, James Beard–nominated head chef Alan Sternberg oversees the gastropub lineup, straight from his five-year post at the late Cerulean in downtown Indy.
Fresh starts are a theme here. The restaurant that opened in October sits on a parcel of land purchased a while back by Westfield residents Greg and Jackie Dikos. At first, they were not sure what to do with the property. He is an orthopedic surgeon, she works as a registered dietitian, and neither of them has ever operated a food establishment. So they decided to open a restaurant.
Westfield itself is on a roll, bolstered by the completion of the nearby 400-acre sports complex, Grand Park, and the once-sleepy town's resulting growth spurt. The Dikoses took down two homes and a barn that previously occupied the three-quarters–acre plot where Field now sits. Jackie says the imminent widening of Main Street's State Road 32 by two lanes in each direction would have eventually encroached on the property lines. "Those homes were going to come down, by either us or the road," she says.
The roster of beers made on site range from the Shift Change IPA to the Field Harvest brown to last month's Christmas-themed series of stouts. Head brewer Rian Umbach, a Cincinnati transplant, releases some nice one-offs incorporating natural ingredients, like fresh cranberries. Their lightest beer is simply named Our Lightest Beer. It's a pilsner "for people who come in and ask, 'What's your lightest beer?'" Jackie says. "We don't want anyone to be intimidated."
Eventually, Field will encompass a craft distillery in a separate, equally simple and uncluttered building next door (following a three-year waiting period for the license). The restaurant already offers a surprisingly polished cocktail list for a place that also serves chili and makes UNO cards and crayons available. The dark but effervescent Amberleaf Trace, a rye whiskey sipper served in a delicate coupe glass, reveals layers of black pepper, amaro, and honey. The vodka-based Union Street contains green tea and rhubarb bitters, and the Vine Alley mixes Old Tom gin with elderflower and plum shrub—on-point mixology that hints at what Field will do with its own shelf of craft spirits down the road.
The food comes off as less restrained. Sternberg—who meticulously placed ingredients on an edible canvas at Cerulean, creating the closest thing to molecular gastronomy that Indianapolis has ever tasted—has loosened up. The roasted salmon sits atop a rustic curry stew of fingerling potatoes and sliced fennel that is rich and delicious to the last slurped spoonful. The roasted-squash-and-kale salad has a lot of moving parts, from the sweet slices of musky delicata squash to the eruption of nuts and pomegranate seeds on top, all wonderfully disjointed flavors that somehow work when placed together like this.
Roasted salmon sits on a deeply satisfying base of curried fennel and fingerling potatoes
The rosemary pork sandwich (with Swiss chard, butterkäse cheese, and thin slices of apple) and the chicken pastrami sandwich (the meat soaked overnight in the classic corned-beef brine and layered with Gruyère, pickled jalapeño, house giardiniera, and whole-grain mustard) strain against the wooden picks that hold their contents in check. Both are stuffed inside sourdough bread made with the brewery's spent grain, sliced thick and toasted in clarified butter.
To get the most out of an appetizer of crispy lamb ribs that look like pot roast on a stick, you have to tug each bite off the bone like a feral dog. The ribs are smeared in spicy-tart chimichurri and cucumber yogurt—both essential condiments against the lamb's fatty, earthy essence—which means things are going to get unavoidably but deliciously messy. I don't what to think about how much chimichurri sauce had smeared on my face the evening I sat perfectly framed in one of those well-designed front windows, overlooking a slip of manicured lawn with outdoor furniture. A cute family played a game of bocce on the other side of the glass, and it occurred to me that maybe they were just as entertained by me as I was by them.
Parents themselves, the owners wanted their restaurant to be the kind of place where customers could enjoy a drink without having to leave the kids at home. That explains the children's menu (an elevated one, with grilled salmon over rice among the options).
If that sounds like Field has a lot on its plate right now, don't worry. Just like its design, the restaurant pulls it all off with minimum clutter.

London, 2/9/2015 – Employer brand can be hard to define, but the results of a good employer brand are easy to see. The employer brand is the part of a brand strategy that relates to an organisation's reputation as an employer, and thus is a vital aspect of brand management and a key concern for communicators.
A strong employer brand strategy will be reflected in the quality of staff, the amount of time they stay with a company and ability to attract new, skilled staff in a competitive market. The 2015 Employer Brand Management Conference (http://bit.ly/1Q8ragY) will use the combined experience of experts in this challenging area to educate and inform attendees thus enabling them to implement an effective strategy within their own organisations.
The event, which is hosted by Transform magazine, includes speakers from Maersk, IHG, Avon, United Utilities, the UK's largest listed water company, and German software company SAP. Attendees will learn how to ensure that diversity is integrated into their employer brand strategy, how to communicate with a multinational work force, how to engage a remote workforce and will learn how to effectively measure and evaluate their employer brand strategy so as to prove its effectiveness. The programme also contains a panel discussion in which the audience will hear about three successful employer brand campaigns.
Those who work in internal communications, HR, brand or corporate communications teams can improve their company culture by discussing how to implement an effective employer brand strategy. A company's employees are its brand ambassadors, they make up the personality of the internal culture and they set the tone for how the business is perceived by new recruits.

Wilde Life: the official Kim Wilde fansite
Kim Wilde - one of the most popular
Vikan (Iceland)
Kim Wilde is a well-known British singer and in the UK as well as in continental Europe she is best in the field of pop.
Her career has been very fast. She is of the model '60, the daughter of the rock and roller Marty Wilde, who was wellknown in the sixties. In the beginning of her career, she was primarily taken as a daughter of her father, but not long ago until she had created her own image in the pop world. The first song she sang to the album was written by her father and brother, Ricky. It was called Kids In America and became very popular in the UK and in continental Europe a year ago. Following were the tracks "Chequered Love" and "Water On Glass", and now "Cambodia" is being launched. All are the songs by Marty and Ricky Wilde and three from the previous album, Kim Wilde.
Kim Wilde is, in many respects, special among pop musicians. In appearance, she is rather plain. The hair is colored and the face is painted. The clothes they wear are most purchased in cheap flea markets and shoe stores. Therefore, it was hard to distinguish her from the girl next door. She lives at home with her parents and her sister. Before she started singing, she studied at the art school, worked in a shop and worked in a hospital.
It was her father who discovered the daughter's singing talent, and he and her mother, a former singer, supported her with advice and inspiration. Financially, the Kim family felt very good. It was going to be a good idea for Marty Wilde. But when he got a good deal, he turned to the newspaper. Kim simply sounds like a friend, does not smoke and does not use drugs. She has looked at other pop stars to be sold and does not participate in their companion live. Her friends group is the same as before and, most fun, she likes to go out with her friends, go skiing and play a game. If they have no time for her, has no time for them, she says.
Kim is a high level of gender equality and says he does not want to see men who look at her unclean eye or can not take her fragile peace. "I have many male friends, and of course, my husband is second to none, but I do not have the goal of having a fast track." She is not worried about the future, looking forward to getting older and becoming so mature. She has nothing against having children (she has a two-year-old sister and brother in the first year). "But the children should not be allowed unless they are welcome," she says. She claims she would not sacrifice to her children by the simple desire that she believes that if the mother is born in good working life, the whole family is beneficial.
Music Kim Wilde is light and moving. The silversmiths make a great sense but are not overwhelming. Her voice is extremely cool and beautiful and it predicts well for the future.
