From George Washington to James McHenry, 22 July 1798
To James McHenry
Mount Vernon 22d july 1798.
Dear Sir,
Your favour of the 18th was brought by the Post of yesterday.
The nominations, according to your list, will be agreeable to me; although I retain the opinion, that Colo. Smith is better calculated for a command in the line, than for Adjutant General. But what have you done respecting the Quarter Master General? I hope, and trust, it is not intended to Overlook the character I recommended in pointed terms; than whom, I will confidently add, one more adequate is not to be found in the U. States, let the Operations of the Army be in what quarter it will; nor so fit, if they be in the States South of Maryland; as he knows and is known by, every one in those Regions, being the Deputy Quarter Master General, under General Green, in all his active movements; and as much esteemed as he is extensively known. In a word, if this appointment does not take place after my explanations, (which I was careful to have well understood, respecting this Officer); and after it was given specially, in charge to you, to consult me thereon, I shall feel very much hurt, on the general ground I took; and more so, by confiding with certainty that that Officer, for the reasons I assigned, would be made agreeable to me, I wrote to Colo. Carrington & received the answer herewith enclosed; which may be returned after the proper use is made of it.
I desire it may be understood that my prediliction for this Gentleman proceeds from no other cause than a full conviction of his fitness to fill the Office to which he was assigned, in my mind; for being seperated from the main army he is infinitely better known to me by character, than from personal acquaintance (which in fact is slight)—and from the steady & firm support he has given to the Government ever since. Such a character, with his Military knowledge, intelligence and experience in the duties of Quarter Master, would render him an acquisition to any army; and the only fear I had, was, that he would decline accepting it.1 The present Qr Master Wilkins (I think his name is) may be adequate to the Civil duties of that Office,2 & while the present Troops are doing Garrison duty in the Western Country, little more is necessary; but bring him to an assembled, & moving army in the field, where Incampments & a thousand Military duties would be thrown upon him, and he would be found altogether incompetent, from an entire unacquaintedness with the Scenes.
By what circuitous rout did you come at, Severe, in the Wilderness? He may be an estimable character for ought I know, but from the Impression I have of him, he is better qualified to cut off Indians, than to discipline an Army and lead Brigades to the mouths of Cannon. But as I may have mistaken his character, I shall halt here, in my strictures on it.3
Also enclosed, you will receive a letter from John Tayloe Esqr. to me; whom you must know by character, being the brother of Mrs Lloyd, & Soninlaw to Mr Ogle of Annapolis.4 He is among the most wealthy & respectable men in this State; active, zealous & attentive to whatever he undertakes; on the Western expedition, against the Insurgents, he commanded a Troop of horse, and (I believe, but am not sure) was Aid to the Commander in Chief. What he looks to now, beyond the expression of his letter, I know not; with respect to the more definite part of it, I have one answer—and that has been, & will be given to every application (unless some very particular one should come forward)—namely, that until I take the field, or am in a situation to require Aids, I shall hold myself perfectly disengaged, and free; as in the choice of my (established ones) there are many considerations, besides the mere indulgence of my wishes, to be combin'd. In addition to this, I have informed Mr Tayloe that I would transmit his letter to you; to be laid before the President; not doubting but that it would give him, as it had done me, pleasure to find Gentlemen in his situation, and Independent fortunes, stepping forward at such a Crisis with a tender of their Services. I presume, he would prefer an Appointment in the Cavalry—and I have no doubt that he could raise a very fine Troop: but whether he would be satisfied with that, or whether more could be offered with due attention to the old Cavalry Officers of known and acknowledged celebrity, I am not prepared to decide. Possibly, such an appointment, with the Priviledge of chusing his own Lieutenant & Cornet, might induce his acceptance. And here, I will take the liberty of giving it as my opinion once for all, that when the President has fixed upon Officers of established character to Command Companies—Gentlemen who prise their own honour, and the reputation of their Company, that it would be good policy to let them chuse, or at least to recommend, their own Subalterns; It would facilitate recruiting—contribute much to the harmony of the Company; and if the Captain himself is properly chosen, it may be relied on that he will be cautious not to hazard his own, and the reputation of his company with bad Officers if known, or even suspected, to be unfit for his purpose.
I do not recollect enough of the present Officers in the Cavalry, or of those who have been disbanded, to say with decision which of them is best entitled to the Commd of that Corps; but I have no hesitation in declaring it as my opinion, that Major Talmadge (formerly of Sheldons horse) would not disgrace it, & is to be preferred to his former Colonel.5
In furnishing the list I gave you, when here, from whom Field Officers might be selected for the Corps to be raised, I omitted (not seeing his name enrolled) Major Ragsdale of the Artillery. His character in that Corps, I am told, stood high. How it has happened that he is yet in the background, whether from choice, or because he has been overlooked, I am unable to say. He is of this State, as Talmadge is of New York.6
A Lieutt Marsteller (at present of the Troop of Horse, in Alexandria) has been recommended to me as a man wishing, and deserving of an Appointment in the Army, about to be raised.7 A Doctr Peyton, son of a very worthy man, and brother to two of the best Officers in Lee's Corps of horse during the Revolution War, has also applied for a birth in the Medical line. I have answered, that appointments are not with me—that recommendations accompanying my letters to them should go to the President direct, or through the Secretary of War. Possibly you may see these. They must speak for themselves.8 The first is well spoken of as an Officer and Gentleman. He was in the horse on the Western Expedition, and by accident received a wound.9 The other (Doctr Peyton) is but lately returned from an absence of five years, in Europe, I believe in the Study of Physick. I have also been told that the Captn (Young) of the Alexandria Troop10 is desirous of employment, but as his application has not been direct, I but barely mention the fact. Doctr Craik did say something too, respecting his Son (who was in my family) going into the Army, but as nothing definite passed I shall say nothing more on the Subject.11 His Son in law West (Major in one of the Uniform Corps) is desirous in case the Provisional Army is raised, of obtaining an Appointment therein.12
And now, having laid before you every thing that has occur'd to me—I shall add no more, at present, than that I am Your Obedt & Affecte Servant
Go: Washington
P.S. I do not know whether Mr Edwd Rutledge would come forward, or not;13 but I know of none exceptg Genl Knox who would Comd the Corp of Artillery more respectably.

1. See GW's letter of 15 July to Edward Carrington telling him that he had asked that Carrington be made quartermaster general of the new army and Carrington's reply of 18 July. McHenry explained to GW on 1 Aug. (second letter) why Carrington's name was not on the list, and on 5 Aug. GW conveyed this information to Carrington. See also Carrington's reply of 14 August.
2. John Wilkins, Jr. (1761–1816), a Pennsylvanian who enlisted in the army as a surgeon's mate in 1780, was promoted to quartermaster general of the U.S. army on 1 June 1796, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
3. GW is referring to John Sevier's nomination to be a brigadier general in the provisional army. See McHenry to GW, 18 July, n.3.
4. John Tayloe's letter has not been found, but see GW to John Tayloe, 21 July. Tayloe's sister Elizabeth (c.1750–1825) was married to Edward Lloyd (1744–1796) of Wye House in Talbot County, Md., in 1767. Tayloe in 1792 married Ann Ogle (b. 1772), daughter of Benjamin Ogle (1749–1809) and Henrietta Margaret Hill Ogle (1751–1815).
5. Benjamin Tallmadge (1754–1835), who was to be elected to Congress in 1801 as a Federalist from Connecticut, during the Revolution rose to the rank of major in Col. Elisha Sheldon's 2d Continental Light Dragoon Regiment. After 1778 he was used mostly in the secret service.
6. Drury Ragsdale of King William County from 1777 to 1783 was a captain in the 1st Continental artillery.
8. Francis Peyton (d. 1808) studied medicine at the university in Edinburgh and received his degree in 1796. In 1802 he married Frances Washington Ball, daughter of Charles Washington and widow of Col. Burgess Ball. The Peyton brothers in Light-Horse Harry Lee's legion were Maj. Henry Peyton who was killed at Charleston in 1780 and Maj. Valentine Peyton who died in 1786, sons of Craven Peyton (d. 1781) of Loudoun County.
10. Captain Robert Young (1768–1824) commanded the Alexandria troop of cavalry. He was an Alexandria merchant in partnership with Philip Richard Fendall.
11. This is George Washington Craik.
13. Edward Rutledge (1749–1800), who at this time was in bad health, was a member of the South Carolina senate and in December of this year was elected governor.

This week saw the second round of Auckland Secondary Schools debating in West Auckland. The Junior team were challenged with the moot "This house would prevent children under the age of 18 from appearing on reality TV" and were arguing against this. Unfortunately, Avondale College put forward stronger arguments and won the debate.
The Senior Open were up against Marist College and were attempting to defeat the moot that "This house would prevent children attending school if they are not vaccinated". In a complex and wide ranging debate Liston won by one point. The competition continues next term with eh topics to be announced. Thank you to Miss P Andrews, Miss J Suelto, Mrs F Khan and Miss A Boland for their support and help.

excerpts from the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, 2nd cent. AD.
found at Nag Hammadi in Egypt
translated by Stephen Patterson and Marvin Meyer
|22. Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his disciples, "These nursing babies are like those who enter the (Father's) kingdom."
They said to him, "Then shall we enter the (Father's) kingdom as babies?"
Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]."
According to Gnostic thinking, the spirit (the inner) is imprisoned in the body (the outer).
Our body: gender, eyes, hands, feet, has to be replaced by the Spirit.
|28. Jesus said, "I took my stand in the midst of the world, and in flesh I appeared to them. I found them all drunk, and I did not find any of them thirsty. My soul ached for the children of humanity, because they are blind in their hearts and do not see, for they came into the world empty, and they also seek to depart from the world empty.
But meanwhile they are drunk. When they shake off their wine, then they will change their ways."
|People are inebriated with earthly pleasures. They are blind to the inner reality of the spirit.
|29. Jesus said, "If the flesh came into being because of spirit, that is a marvel, but if spirit came into being because of the body, that is a marvel of marvels. Yet I marvel at how this great wealth has come to dwell in this poverty."
|Our beautiful inner spirit is caught in the ugly reality of body and matter.
|79. A woman in the crowd said to him, "Lucky are the womb that bore you and the breasts that fed you."
He said to [her], "Lucky are those who have heard the word of the Father and have truly kept it. For there will be days when you will say, 'Lucky are the womb that has not conceived and the breasts that have not given milk.'"
|Spiritual people will understand that abstaining from sex is better than producing children.
|80. Jesus said, "Whoever has come to know the world has discovered the body, and whoever has discovered the body, of that one the world is not worthy."
|The material body is worthless compared to our inner spirit.
|87. Jesus said, "How miserable is the body that depends on a body [=through sex], and how miserable is the soul that depends on these two [bodies]."
112. Jesus said, "Damn the flesh that depends on the soul. Damn the soul that depends on the flesh."
|A spiritual person will distance himself/herself as much as possible from the body.
|114. Simon Peter said to them, "Make Mary leave us, for females don't deserve life."
Jesus said, "Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of Heaven."
|Women embody sex and materiality. Their salvation lies in renouncing their sexuality.

A few posts ago i said that i would post pictures from the store where i work. Dannah in Kennebunkport, Maine is a place for treasure seekers like me. For the most part, all my jewelry and some of the bags come from the store. I'm so happy that i can collaborate and be involved in a design process in the store as well. There are lots of unknown designers mixed with some vintage and "happy" bracelets and necklaces from Orna Lalo - Israel based jewelry designer whose products you can only find in her flagship store in Boston and random small boutiques of New York. Don't even get me started on beauty products and a small, but quiet unique home decor collection. You can visit our website here or if you are ever around, stop by and have a glass of wine while browsing the store.

Latest Jewelry Finds and Giveaway Winner
Things have been a little bit crazy lately. In between travels, work projects and boyfriend being sick (cold in the middle of the summer??!!) i have forgotten i have a blog and i have to write it every once in a while. Although i did not forget to pick the winner of the giveaway that has been going on for a week on my blog. Thank you very much to everyone who joined in and left sweet comments. Danielle from happy.ppl is the lucky one who's got the summer straw clutch from Dannah boutique shipped her way! Congratulations and thanks again for participating! Other than that, i've been on a constant hunt for a perfect piece of jewelry, and i found one (or maybe a couple). This necklace (also from Dannah) looks like it could have been made in a candy shop. It also jingles when i walk, and that's the best part of it!
Did these rings belong to someone from 19th century? I wear them with jeans and plain T-shirt!
Love bracelet! I like the chain part of it.
Bright enamel mixed with light color crystals must be my favorite things in a jewelry design at the moment. It's like wearing neon jeans with white lace top - always appropriate)
Wearing: all jewelry - Dannah.

Fashion Inspiration: Nino Eliava
I couldn't help but post this amazing images of Nino Eliava, fashion blogger from Georgia. I've been following her blog Trivial Insanity for a while now. And i meant to blog about it right after i found her, but there was always something. She just got featured in Russian Vogue, and that's a pretty big deal. But no matter what, she is still super sweet about comments on her blog, and she does reply to every single one. She likes your pictures on Instagram, and gives smiley faces to her followers! She supports local designers, and wears Chanel boots with the dresses she made out of her grandma's vintage fabrics. She gets inspired by architecture and old movies. And in the end, just seems like a very nice person, a person you would want to have lunch with!

Busy Days Uniform and Pink Flamingos
I got to think lately that time flies by so fast! Being busy with all the projects at work, sometimes i forget that there is more to life. The challenge here is how to dress casually, but still look good and enjoy yourself on a days when you run around town like a crazy person doing this and that! My solution is good pair of jeans that fits you well (and that's a key!). And from this point you can go anywhere - logo T, statement necklace and patterned bag is what i can now call my uniform! And yes, my pink flamingo obsession has officially begun!

Dolce & Gabbana Couture
Here we are - i've been waiting to see the pictures from this show forever. Dolce & Gabbana duo have closed their D&G line, just to surprise us with some high fashion. And we could only dream about how this thing was going to look like! No words needed to say, Domenico and Stefano stayed true to their italian heritage and fashion they've been doing for over twenty years. And you know what i'm talking about! Just hope you enjoy some shoots from their private sicilian show that they had just a few days ago. Refusing to be a part of Paris Fashion Week, they made their it even more intriguing. Italians do it better indeed.

Valentino Couture Backstage
images vogue.ru
I love going through backstage pictures sometimes more than looking at the runway looks! Especially when it comes to couture and designers like Valentino. You have to see these dresses in movement, and get the feel of the magic of couture - something that only detailed photos and unexpected shoots can do! And obviously make you fall in love with it!

I think that we are on a beach.
There are people buried under large piles of their own memorabilia, as well as the weight of their self-importance. Have they been washed up onto the shore, or are they waiting for the tide to take them away?
An old woman, wizened, appears pushing a perambulator. It is choc-a-bloc with paraphernalia that she has been collecting on her travels. She has been following the white lines that run down the middle of the road. She has passed through all their lives. A very autobiographical film dealing with the filmmakers ego, family and travels. – A.K.

Wayward's Deep Dark Secret
Normally, I'd have titled a post like this as a way to catch wandering eyes and then I'd spew out some silly little tirade about some sinister secret, and it would drag on and on never quite divulging anything and finally ending with either a punch-line or an ironic twist that might make you laugh. But the truth is much stranger than anything I could ever invent on the fly. The truth is that there is a secret that lies beneath the Wayward and just thinking about owning up to it is enough to turn me into a nervous wreck unable to type without fumbling over the keys like a nicotine addict too long away from his last puff of joy.
You see the truth is rather embarrassing. Owning up to it is like admitting to a great social faux pas. Which wouldn't be so abnormal for the likes of me, being a nerdy anti-social software developer and all, except that this gaff is on the order of epic and it concerns a highly controversial subject matter that many of you probably have livid opinions about and if it came out in the open, the real truth, I would find myself berated by most of you as having played the part of a dastardly villain. But the truth must be told, so maybe one day all might be forgotten and the Wayward curse lifted from my shoulders.
Yet, its not just my little secret. It's a family secret and to divulge it would implicate many others. In fact, its not actually my own indiscretion that I'd would be giving away, but one that I'm only indirectly associated with. So telling you all now might have repercussions against me that go beyond what opinions of me you might hold in the end. So after telling you all, if you don't hear from me in a while, it may be that I'm in hiding. After all, 'family business' is serious business, and they generally don't like being raked through the gutter. They are a bit touchy about things like that.
So out with it. Please take all this with the bit of hindsight that is possible when you look back on ridiculous things that happened many years ago, and remember even things like this that capture the entire nation in great debate, turning neighbor against neighbor, friend against friend, child against parent, will all be forgotten one day, will all be smoothed over by the passage of time and in some dark distant future our descendants will look back and laugh at such a frivolous argument.
It all concerns a certain television show that still airs today, a purple dinosaur and a throng of animatronic children, singing and dancing, and a theme song that stuck in the minds of the people of the world, "I love you, you love me ..." I'm afraid the truth is that I'm associated with the publication of that song and there is nothing I can do to change that. I hang my head low whenever I hear it, for I know the horror that has been wrought in my family name. Please, please, forgive us.

Christian Counselor
Carmen Klenner, MSE, LPC, SAC-IT
Professional Counselor
In 53027 - Nearby to Hartland.
Though I counsel clients of all denominations and faith practices, if the focus is on faith, I adhere to Christianity. Seeking a deeper relationship with God and turning to the scriptures for inspiration and "answers" has gotten me through difficult times in my life. Since not all clients of mine practice a given religion, this is a place I visit with my clients only if s/he requests it or counseling leads us to the discussion. Remaining non-partial on my viewpoints will remain so unless brought up by the client as it is not my place to evangelize through counseling or instill my own values on the client, but to help the client on his or her own journey.

Hi let me introduce myself, my name is Kerry and as well as being the mum of a young family I specialise in maternity, newborn, baby, toddler and family photography. I also specialise in baby hand and foot impressions a beautiful momentum of those little fingers and toes!
Differing from other photographers I am mobile, so I bring the studio to the comfort of your own home, allowing mum and therefore baby to be much more relaxed which is especially important in those precious early newborn days.
I am fully trained in the art of newborn safety within photography enabling you to relax whilst I look after your baby with the utmost care and capture those special angelic new born images that will make you smile for a lifetime.
You can find out more about me and my work via facebook and other social media by clicking on the icon above.
How does it work?
Once you let me know your due date I get you pencilled into my dairy. I'll stay in contact with you and when baby arrives, we confirm a day for your photo shoot.
Your baby is always the main focal point of your session. I never rush and always follow baby's lead. Your newborn photo shoot is done at baby's pace so can last 2-3 hours this allows plenty of time for feeds, changes and cuddles as required. Babies safety is paramount to me and I will not rush them or force a pose they are not comfortable with
I use minimal props and outfits to ensure your images are timeless and all about your baby.
Following your baby's photo session, you will be able to view your images on the day. I bring my beautiful samples with me and help you to select the best images for your chosen pieces. Once you've made your decision on how you'd like to see your images displayed, our team get to work on preparing and printing your images.
All of our images are printed onto the best quality paper that is guaranteed to last a lifetime. I work closely with our in-house framing unit to produce specialist wall art for homes, using state-of-the-art print technology.
Everything is made to order and to a fine art standard, you can be sure of the very best hand-crafted products.
We offer a beautiful range of designs to compliment your home; bespoke frames, impression frames, acrylics, canvas, fine art frames and the stunning alumini range for that extra wow factor.
Baby Hand & Feet Impressions
Photography for Little People are the leading impressions experts in the UK. Our designs incorporate impressions of babies and children's hands and feet with a photograph, or simply mounted unaccompanied. The youngest baby to have their impressions taken with Photography for Little People was just 6 hours young!
The timeless impressions of your child's hand framed and mounted in a choice of frames and mount colours start at just £129.
Baby Photography Pricing
Unlike other photographers, the photo session is offered to you completely free of charge. At no point will a fee be added for the photo shoot. The beautiful images I take of your precious little one will speak for themselves. A wide range of products, frames and mounts are available therefore pricing varies, starting at just £129 for impressions and £159 for images, or £179 for images combined with impressions.
Payment is taken on the day of your photo shoot and then all you have to do is sit back and wait for the delivery of your chosen pieces to display with pride in your home.
A £45 non-refundable deposit is required in order to secure your booking. This will be deducted from your final order.
When is the best time to book & get newborn or baby photos taken ?
Every new-born photo shoot is unique and will go at your baby's pace. Newborns are best photographed in the first two weeks. During this time the babies will usually retain some of the natural curl and flexibility from when they were in your womb. This is ideal for capturing the curly poses of your beautiful, peaceful and sleepy baby.
When you book, I will pencil in your due date and then we can agree the time and date when your precious little one has arrived. I can only book limited number of newborns into my diary each month as we don't know exactly when they are going to arrive!
A good time to book your newborn shoot is following your 20 week scan.

Happy Labor Day from the Oshkosh Brewing Company
This appeared in conjunction with the first Labor Day since the repeal of Prohibition in December 1933. After suffering nearly 14 years under the yoke of an asinine law, you can't blame the folks at OBC for their melodramatic slant: "America has risen up, shaken off the dregs of a nightmare that seemed beyond control."
For others, the nightmare hadn't ended. In 1934, the Great Depression was battering the workers of Oshkosh. If you hadn't already lost your job, chances were your wages had been substantially cut. It was a grim time for many and that undercurrent informs the text of this ad. To read it all, click the image and it will enlarge.
Here's to Labor Day and hoping that yours is more festive than that of 1934.

Jan 16, 2008 10:35:58 GMT -6 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by traditionally on Jan 16, 2008 10:35:58 GMT -6 I was curious to know your position on the use of weighted baseballs in developing arm strength. My son is 11 years old, and some of his all-star teammates have been using weighted balls and have seemingly strengthened their arms. I have not used them with my son for fear of injury long term & thought I might ask your thoughts on the subject. As there seem to be different weighted balls, if you feel their use is okay, what weight would be reasonable? Thank you so much for providing such important information!

Get More Carbs and Fat Without Just Eating a Cookie
How do you get more carbs and healthy fat in your diet without just eating a cookie? Here are some places to start.
"How do I get more carbs and fat in my diet without just eating a cookie?" This was a real question that someone asked. It's a good question. Without coming up with a totally exhaustive list of potential food sources, there are a few places you can start.
Carbohydrate Sources
Typically you won't hear someone ask how they can get more carbs. In society it's more common to hear someone mention that they're trying to cut carbs. Usually it has to do with following some super special diet that demonizes carbs and is outside the scope of this article.
Here are some examples of sources you might look to for carbs:
- Oats (Quick, Rolled or Old Fashioned, Steel-Cut etc.)
- Barley
- Red, White, Brown, Wild Rice
- Quinoa
- Amarath
- Whole Grain Pasta
- Sprouted Grains or Breads
- Purple, Red or Golden Potatoes
- Sweet Potatoes
- Beans and Lentils
- Fruits!
Healthy Fat Sources
If Oreo's were healthy I'd stop there and call it a day, slight obsession. Sadly you cannot live on Oreo's alone so you might want to consider consuming other fat source options including;
- Avocado
- Butter
- Cold-Pressed Oils (Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, Walnut Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Etc.)
- Unsalted Nuts (Almonds, Cashews, Pecans, Brazil Nuts, Etc.)
- Unsalted Seeds (Pumpkin Seeds, Sunflower Seeds, Sesame Seeds, Etc.)
- Flax Seeds
- Chia Seeds
- Coconut
- Nut Butters (Peanut, Almond, Sunflower Seed (yes that's a thing?) Etc.)
Hopefully this list is really helpful for you and begins to get new ideas churning in your head. I've just recently truly learned how to cook things besides chicken, oatmeal and cereal (I'm counting it). Just a couple of new foods can keep my curiosity satisfied for weeks. Give a couple a shot!

Adam Jeppesen & Axel Antas – Photography as Sculpture
31 Aug14:00 – 14:45
The Chapel, Charlottenborg
Axel Antas and Adam Jeppesen are both well-known for their photographic work, but their practices also move in transdisciplinary and sculptural directions. Together, they will explore the question of how to work from photography – sculpturally.
Axel Antas' (b. 1976, Finland) multidisciplinary practice spans photography, drawing, video and sculpture. His works deals with questions on the relationship between man and nature.
Recently Adam Jeppesen (b. 1978, Denmark) has moved away from photography in a traditional sense to more object focused works, which appear as enigmatic presentations of a distorted reality.
Moderator: Charlotte Præstegaard Schwartz, Ph.d. in Art History and Director of Astrid Noacks Atelier, Copenhagen.

Buy and Sell Used Industrial Refrigeration Equipment - T +31 (0)297 565 443 - email@example.com
Sell your equipment
Purchase and sale of used cooling equipment
Comron International is a market leader in Europe in the field of used cooling equipment. Our company engages in the purchase and sale of used industrial cooling equipment, both occasion and new. For example the following machines:
The majority of our machines is exported all over the world, a small part is sold to our customers in the Netherlands, mainly refrigeration companies.
Revision cooling machines and / or installations
At the moment many still good functioning machines are being replaced, often because of the new European legislation and regulations. These machines are usually written off and sold as scrap or sometimes stored for a long time at refrigeration companies, which often causes negative environmental effects. Comron International takes care to re-use these machines by buying them first and then by dismantling them in a professional way with its own experienced team. Later on the machines are inspected very thoroughly, overhauled and put into working condition again by our own technicians who have all the required skills, such as doing the necessary repairs, welding, paint spraying, assembling of a switch-board, testing in our own facility, PLC programming etc. Finally many of these redundant machines can start a second life after being sold at reasonable prices. In this way Comron makes a not negligible contribution to a better environment.
Project engineering / supervision
Furthermore it is possible to combine various components to a complete installation and to sell it as a project. Comron has the expertise to offer the engineering as well as the technical solutions. Moreover, the making of drafts in Autocad and electric wiring diagrams in E-plan, programming of Siemens PLC, together with supervision and putting the complete installation into operation form a considerable part of the complete package.
Comron can be an interesting partner to many companies because of the substantial amount of machines in stock. In case of emergency we can deliver immediately the right compressor, evaporator, etc. direct from stock and a customer can be assisted with another machine for a very reasonable price. Whenever one of your clients is looking for a temporary solution, he can always call on us. Because of our long experience we can offer a well-founded advice and offer the right installation.
F-Gas certified company
Comron International is a F-Gas certified company and qualified to execute all installation and maintenance operations to all stationary or mobile cooling installations, as well as the removal of ammonia (NH3) / Freon.

The Mushroom at the End of the World
How (capitalist) money and nature intertwine and bring multiple life-worlds into being is one of the themes of Anna Tsingʻs book on the matsutake mushroom, highly valued in Japanese culture and cuisine as a signal of autumn and a nostalgic reminder of the rural bounty of pre-industrial Japan. Tsing, who teaches anthropology at UC Santa Cruz and at Aarhus University in Denmark, is part of a network of thinkers who are forging new ways to write about human interactions with nature. Like the South American anthropologists associated with Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, the Santa Cruz cohort centered around Donna Hathaway have built a framework that allows the conversation between humans and non-humans in making landscapes and worlds to be taken seriously in academia. This is one step to making such thinking possible in the wider culture, rather than marginalized as the ravings of women and mystics or backwardness of indigenous people and cultures. Tsingʻs book, which has won numerous awards, is a lively and personal account of the people who interact with the matsutake mushroom, whether immigrant Lao or Mien mushroom foragers in the regrowth forests of Oregon, Yunnanese middlemen who use traditional ethnic ties to construct a supply chain, or the Japanese customers who relish the mushroom resonance with rural ways of life. Tsingʻs project is a study of the Anthropocene and "The Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet" (the title of her more recent edited volume) and the kind of "arts of noticing" and thinking that she champions as so urgently necessary to change the way we think about and relate to our world.
Money & Life
How many times do we say: "Well, it would be better in the long term if we all did X but it would not make money?" Or, "there isn't enough money?" Or "it would not be competitive?" Or even worse: "We all know that X is a destructive thing to do but we all have to make a living." In a sense, we say that last line to ourselves every day because that is how our economy works; it is built on "growth", which, as the world stands, is a code word for exponential extraction and destruction of natural and social resources.
How did it come to be that we are controlled by money? How is it that our creation is controlling us? It's fashionable to worry about the advent of AI (artificial intelligence) – and with good reason. We have already created a technology, a relatively simple technology, that is out of control – money and the system of valuation that underlies it. It is for money that we are burning up the only world we have. We are already fooled by and the slaves of our own creation, and our financial system is nothing as sophisticated as what it will be when augmented by AI, blockchain, cloud-computing and big data.
Now would be a good time to get a handle on our creation. Now would be a good time to think about where we are going. Continue reading "Money & Life"
Another found along the way
Found this treatise nailed to the door yesterday without an identified author or return address. Someone has been thinking hard and working hard on where to go from here. I leave it without comment.
Climate Change: Do Politics or Do Nothing?
I've been thinking a lot about how to address climate change in terms of policy at the local level, at the smallest organized unit of government for my area, which is the County of Hawaii, encompassing the island of Hawaii. I am not an expert on climate change or climate change policy in any way, shape, or form, but this may well be the mother of all situations where we will need to learn by doing, rather than waiting on expertise that does not yet exist.

Hello Everyone,
Welcome back to my blog!! Happy Thanksgiving and hope yours was great. I along with the team at Coder Bunnyz would like to thank each of you for the love you have showered on all of us.
Yesterday I watched this amazing movie, Trolls. It's a great movie and I really recommend watching this movie, if you haven't already. The movie is about a troll named poppy, the confident leader of the Trolls and her total opposite, Branch. A must do adventure takes them far beyond the world they have ever seen. The movie is full of song, dance, and hugs. Don't want to reveal everything if you haven't watched it already.
Happy Thanksgiving once again, and enjoy my poem –
Love you all.
Samaira, CEO Coder Bunnyz

In defence of frugality (Part 7 of 7)
[3] The delusion of moral neutrality: do you believe that all ethical decisions are equally valid? Are individuals who save to buy a home morally equivalent to those who gamble away their salary? Would you take a loan to finance your medical studies in the same spirit as you would borrow cash to purchase a recreational boat?
Rational values align decisions with reality, leading man to certainty and prosperity. In contrast, relativism wears man down by trying to justify arbitrary choices. Happiness needs to be sustained by facts, not by excuses. Personal well-being cannot be maintained by means of inconsistent behaviour.
Frugality goes hand in hand with logic and realism. You will enjoy life more if you reduce your living costs and create financial safety for yourself. Pick up pen and paper and make a list of ten items of expenditure that you can cut without any negative impact on your lifestyle.
Make more with less by adopting an entrepreneurial approach to life. If you are committed to search for better alternatives, you will find them. If you remain alert to better opportunities, you will seize them. Give priority to safety over short-term pleasure. Serenity and self-confidence will be the result. Reduce your costs and enjoy life more.

2018 National Risk Assessment - Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risks
According the FATF National Money Laundering and Terrorist Finance Risk Assessment guide: "Identifying, assessing, and understanding ML/TF risks is an essential part of the implementation and development of a national anti-money laundering / countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regime, which includes laws, regulations, enforcement and other measures to mitigate ML/TF risks. It assists in the prioritisation and efficient allocation of resources by authorities.
The results of a national risk assessment, whatever its scope, can also provide useful information to financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs) to support the conduct of their own risk assessments. Once ML/TF risks are properly understood, country authorities may apply AML/CFT measures in a way that ensures they are commensurate with those risks – i.e,. the risk-based approach (RBA) – which is central to the FATF standards and recommendations".
GACO is therefore very happy to share with all its members the 2018 Gibraltar National Risk Assessment. We kindly ask you to read carefully this document (click here) and to ascertain the impact the risks identified might have on your business and how you need to potentially adapt your business model to the findings in said Assessment.
Please kindly be advised that very soon there will be a presentation on the same. GACO will provide you the details of said event in due course.

- Superior Darkvision Your darkvision has a radius of 120 feet.
- Stone Camouflage You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks to hide in rocky terrain.
Class Traits
- Magical Tinkering: At 1st level, you learn how to invest a spark of magic in objects that would otherwise be mundane. To use this ability, you must have thieves' tools, tinker's tools, or other artisan's tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical object as an action and give it one of the following magical properties of your choice:
- The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
- Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.
- The object continuously emits your choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves,chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away.
- A static visual effect appears on one of the object's surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like.
- The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the object and end the property early.
- You can give the magic of this feature to multiple objects, touching one object each time you use the feature, and a single object can bear only one of the properties at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with the feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one object). If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.
- Spellcasting
- Infuse Item: At 2nd level, you gain the ability to imbue mundane items with certain magical infusions. The magic items you create with this feature are effectively prototypes of permanent items.
- Infusions Known: (3)
- Replicate Magic Item: Bag of Holding

- Infusions Known: (3)
- Tool Expertise Starting at 3rd level, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses your proficiency with a tool.

- In addition, you gain the ability to use rods, staffs, and wands as spellcasting focuses for your artificer spells.
- Crafting If you craft a magic item in the wand category, it takes you a quarter of the normal time, and it costs you half as much of the usual gold.
- Artillerist Spells
- 3rd shield, thunderwave
- 5th scorching ray, shatter
- 9th fireball, wind wall
- 13th ice storm, wall of fire
- 17th cone of cold, wall of force

Svirfneblin Magic

- You have inherited the innate spell casting ability of your ancestors. This ability allows you to cast nondetection on yourself at will, without needing a material component. You can also cast each of the following spells once with this ability: blindness/deafness, blur, and disguise self. You regain the ability to cast these spells when you finish a long rest. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
- Coins: 0 cp • 0 sp • 0 ep • 0 gp • 0 pp • Other coins: none
- Gems: Yes please!
Magic Items
- Not yet
Carried Equipment
- In Hand: Serpent
- Worn: Rags?
- Belt:
- Backpack:
Serpent: Ball • Shot. A handgun-sized firearm. 250 gp 1d10 piercing 3 lb. Ballistic (30/90), handgun, light, misfire (1)
Ammunition: Ball ammunition is a single lead slug which inflicts the listed damage against a single target. Shot ammunition is a weight of lead pellets, which adds the Blast property to the weapon's attack.
Critical Hits: Criticals with firearms are incredibly devastating, inflicting triple rather than double the dice in damage.
New Properties: The following are new Properties for firearms:
- Ballistic: The weapon uses ammunition to fire, and must be loaded with ammunition to fire with that barrel; reloading a barrel of a gun takes an action or a bonus action. The first number in parentheses lists the maximum normal range for firing the firearm; the second is the maximum long range distance. Attacks made within long range suffer disadvantage on the attack.
- Blast: When making an attack with this weapon, you may make the attack at advantage if it is within normal range. If it is within long range, you may instead designate a secondary target within 5 feet of the primary target, and apply your attack and damage roll to both. You must choose both targets before rolling to hit. Attacks with this property do not apply your ability modifier to damage unless the modifier is negative, and they are not subtle or precise enough to qualify Sneak Attack or similar effects.
- Handgun: A small gun easily wielded in close combat; a firearm with this property does not suffer disadvantage for its use when a hostile creature is within 5 feet.
- Misfire (x): If your attack roll before modifiers results in the number listed in the parentheses of this Property, the barrel of the weapon becomes fouled, rendering it inoperable until it is cleaned and recharged, taking fifteen minutes and the use of tinker's tools. Weapons with the Misfire property also become fouled if the weapon is submerged while loaded. If a weapon misfires while you have disadvantage, and both dice are within the misfire range, the weapon explodes, inflicting its damage on all creatures within 5 feet of the weapon, and destroying it.
Important Individuals
- Refi Breesys Xabi Prilla Tana Oda Fnipper Ku Nackle
- Refi Nackle the Fnipper, for pesky humans
- My Lantanese gnomish cousin, an artificer who taught me about my grandmother's pistol and the ways of the Artificer. She prefers the path of the Archivist but was more than happy to help me start my path of study.

The Clay Bowl Result
Soil that has actually been placed around your house's foundation is not as securely packed or as thick as the soil that has actually not been disturbed situated further away from your home. Water will gather into the soil that surrounds your home as a result, therefore putting pressure on the walls of your structure triggering fractures to form.
Hydrostatic Pressure
When soil around your structure becomes damp, it will expand and put pressure on your foundation. The water will then find its method to any openings that exist, consisting of cracks that have actually formed around your windows or pipes.

Acceptance, Adrenaline, Adversity, Amputation, Consequence, Daredevil, Fate, Joe Nelson, Loss, Luck, Motocross, Prosthesis, Prosthetic, Risk, Self-Pity
How many of us have taken an unnecessary risk, suffered loss because of it and then lamented our decision and its consequence? Too many. People have a tendency to blame others for their actions, to point a finger and say, "He should have stopped me! It's not my fault!"
Most of us point to the other guy, try to pin our mistakes on fate or bad luck; but some folks pony up and choose to live their lives content in the knowledge that they wreaked havoc upon themselves. It's a rare man who can lose a leg and keep smiling.
Joseph was what his parents called him and for 25 years he kept that name, but in August of 2005 he changed his name to Pegleg.
By self account Joe Nelson was a daredevil. He loved motocross dirt bikes and flying through the air. Much of the allure was the inherent danger of the activity itself. On Wednesday, August 28, 2002 Joe was feeding his adrenaline addiction when his world came tumbling down, or rather, he came tumbling down to earth.
He'd been running his dirt bike for hours on his friend's course in Urbana, Iowa and had decided to do, "One more run. Get in that last thrill just before the sun goes down," words that many of us have uttered at the end of a long, tiring, but exhilarating day. This would be Joe's last run with all his limbs. The crash that followed would eventually cost him his left foot, ankle and lower leg: He was lucky to keep his knee.
Surgeries followed the crash that smashed Joe's leg. The doctors tried to save the limb but after nearly three years of pain and hardship Joe made the decision to have the worthless limb amputated. There were fireworks the last night Joe had both legs. The USA celebrated her independence and the next day Joe lost the bottom half of his left leg. He celebrated too.
The fact that Joe lost a leg is a sad tale of woe. It's probably worth buying him a beer over, (Joe doesn't drink- he doesn't like the taste.) but if he was just a guy that lost a leg due to taking an unnecessary risk I wouldn't be writing about him. It is his acceptance of the consequences of his actions that makes him stand out in my mind.
I talk the talk about personal responsibility. Hell, I even walk the walk (Sorry, Joe!) but if I lost a leg through my own fault I think I would accept that, move on with my life, but deep inside forever feel morose about what I did to myself. I would continue, I'd smile and make the most of my life, but deep inside my heart would sit the little tiny pit of self pity. Pegleg ain't having none of it.
Maturity has more facets than a fine diamond. Understanding the difference between risking one's own neck and risking the life of another are two very different things. When we were talking about how Joe lost his leg one of the things that struck me was his decision not to be a grief counselor for others who have lost a limb.
"I lost my limb through my own fault. Sometimes I wonder if I'd be as accepting if some other guy had landed his motorcycle on me during a race or how I'd feel if somebody blew through a stop sign and took it off that way. I like to think that I could still accept my fate, but I don't know. I did this to myself so I move on- no regrets. I couldn't tell people who lost a leg because of no fault of their own to be okay with it, to be happy. It's not the same thing."
Prior to his 2002 crash Joe made several trips to hospital emergency rooms flying through the air under his own power: No CC's necessary. The world was his playground and sometimes his found areas of recreation proved to be more than he could handle. He and his wife are the proud parents of three children: An infant boy, and two girls aged five and ten.
Both girls are gifted athletes. The ten year old loves to dance and the Nelsons encourage her in her pursuit of excellence, but it is the younger daughter's activities that excite Joe. Like her father before her she is a BMX racing enthusiast and the Nelsons regularly travel the tri-state area as they satisfy her need to fly through the air under her own power. If a man falls he should get back up and try again. Life should be lived.
A lot of folks in Joe's position would take their troubles to Jesus, Yahweh, Allah or the like, but not Pegleg. He's a dyed in the world atheist so he can't unload to 'The Man Upstairs.' Not a sentiment that I agree with but one that makes his acceptance of fate that much more lonely. Looking to a higher power, believing that everything that happens to us is part of a Master Plan brings comfort to many. It's pretty hard to argue that there's any sense in trying to find comfort in something that doesn't exist. For Joe, accept and move on is a better plan.
Our time here is pretty short and there's no sense wasting any of it wallowing in self-pity. There's no way Joe's going to let a stupid mistake ruin his life. He's raring to go and he's more man with three and a half limbs than most of us are with four. Keep flying, Joe!

Speaker highlights terrors of human trafficking in Cambodia
JEFFERSON CITY - "Life changing." This is how U.S. Activist for Agape International Missions (AIM) Meredith Ramsey describes the purpose of the organization she serves.
Ramsey, who grew up in Jefferson City, spoke to a crowd of 50 people this morning at First Baptist Church in Jefferson City on the horrors of human trafficking in Cambodia.
According to Ramsey, AIM's goal is to "prevent, rescue, restore and reintegrate young girls from sexual trafficking in Cambodia."
Ramsey's parents are both missionaries for AIM in the southeast asian country, which is how she was inspired to spread the aspirations and intent of the organization within the U.S.
"My dad works in the reintegration process where he starts small businesses for the girls to work in," Ramsey said. "My mom works in the prevention school where they have about 550 students where they are working to prevent children from being sold into slavery."
According to AIM, "the Cambodian community of Svay Pak is a notorious haven for international pedophiles and prepubscent sex," an informational flyer reads. "Once a girl is controlled by a pimp or brothel owner, she is sold (raped) up to 12 times a night."
Members listening to the presentation appeared astonished and overwhelmed with emotion.
Ken Enloe, a parishoner at First Baptist Church, was confounded that many of the children sold in Cambodia are bought by westerners.
"I guess one of the most troubling aspects to it is the fact that it is supported financially probably by westerners and maybe people from America," Enloe said. "It's obviously a world wide issue."
Sondra Allen, another parishoner of First Baptist Church, said she was shocked she did not know about this problem in Cambodia.
"I know that with what she presented, it barely scratched the surface of this worldwide issue," Allen said. "What is happening to those little girls is just not right. What am I doing?"
To assist with ending human trafficking in Cambodia, Ramsey suggests getting involved with local organizations, as well as through simple prayers.
"Get involved in local coalitions, and there's a human trafficking hotline that you can call if you see anything suspicious," Ramsey said. "There's a 5K run that supports fighting human trafficking in February every year in Jefferson City."
At Ramsey's presentation, bracelets, scarves, jewerly and other items created by children rescued from human trafficking were for sale - each with the name of the child on the creation. All proceeds from went directly to the child who crafted it.
Allen said she is more educated on the predicament occuring in Cambodia thanks to Ramsey's presentation.
"I am very aware now of what is going on and the help these kids need."

Thousands of supporters of Houthi rebels in Yemen have taken to the streets to celebrate their first Friday since taking control of much of the capital, Sanaa.
Houthis, who have besieged Sanaa for a month, seized key state installations earlier this week without any resistance.
They have hailed the day as the "Friday of victory".
An Al Jazeera correspondent reporting from Sanaa said there were no signs of security forces and military troops where the Houthis rallied.
The correspondent said Houthis had reached within close proximity to President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi's residence, although it was believed that Hadi had already moved out of it.
An agreement to end the fighting was mediated by the UN and signed on Sunday, shortly after Houthis took control of most of the city.
Hadi has so far failed to name a new prime minister, although the latest agreement stipulated that one should have been appointed by Wednesday.
He has already appointed two advisers, one representing the Houthis, and another for southern separatists, as required under the peace deal.

New food added – Asparagus
Although over 300 varieties of asparagus are known to exist, only about 20 are considered to be edible. With its origins in the Mediterranean, this vegetable has been used medicinally for about 2000 years.
Asparagus contains purines, which break down to form uric acid, so people prone to kidney stones, gout, or other uric acid-related problems, may want to avoid eating this vegetable. A more harmless side-effect of eating asparagus is the presence, soon after eating it, of a strong odor in the urine caused by the natural formation of various compounds.
Asparagus is especially high in Vitamin K, Folate, Vitamin A, and Iron, making it an excellent food to eat during pregnancy.

Healthy Families Have Fun Together: 9 Tips For Your Home
It's one of the first lessons we learn as toddlers. And yet we forget it all too soon. Balance. Balance helps us walk and it can help us be happy later in life. And a family without balance can result in lasting problems. And what's most often left out of the equation? Fun. It's important to work, learn discipline and eat healthy. But the most valuable moments in our memories are often associated with joy. Those times we have together.
What Does Fun do For Family?
What moments do you remember most vividly? Were they planned?
Most often the impulsive moments of happiness make the deepest impressions on the human mind. And in these moments important things take place that family members shouldn't be without:
- They feel free despite their differences.
- Communication improves when people feel less reserved.
- Happy times create bonds and form an identity between family members.
- More positive memories result in more value you have for each other. This causes more respect which can prevent hurting each other in future.
But why can't we balance these fun times with the more serious activities? To help your family enjoy more exciting times together, I suggest you follow these handy tips.
How To Get This Right in Your Home
Yes, your most fun times will be unplanned. But you won't discover these times if your lifestyle doesn't allow them to happen. And your home's setup can be the key to how much fun you have.
Try implementing these and wait for the fun to start.
Prepare for Fun
What does your home allow?
If you only have gravel—no grass—outside, you'll never play with a ball. Someone can fall and get hurt. And the same concept applies to your home's interior:
- If you don't have board games you'll never have quality times where family members compete against each other.
- When all floor areas in your home are used up by work, furniture or décor, there won't be space to impulsively play pranks on one another. Your children are probably too scared of breaking something.
- Do you need everything to be in its place at all times? What if someone wants to start a DIY project? It can be a fun family activity, but only if they're allowed to move furniture out of the way.
Do you see how your desire to have order can take the fun out of family life?
An easy answer to this is installing games that always look tidy. What about Foosball? It can't result in clutter and the unit can blend in with furniture. At The Scouting Report you can browse through quality Foosball items.
Now you're happy because your aesthetics aren't spoiled. The whole family will be happy because they can have some fun!
Shut Off Technology
Of course they won't even care about the foosball table if they can be on their mobile devices. The popularity of social media and the internet took the world by storm. And it's only increasing.
Will you be able to get your family away from their Smartphones for long enough to have fun?
This is where you need rules to expedite fun times. Yes, they'll fight you at first, but eventually everyone will see it's worth it to comply. Here are a few suggestions:
- No Smartphones during meal times. You never know when someone will come up with the perfect joke. And you don't want anyone to miss the punch line.
- Arrange family game times—such as a foosball competitions—and don't allow Smartphones. Show everyone part of the fun is enjoying each other's victories. It's not only about winning yourself.
- Mobile devices must be switched off at a certain time at night. The only time you'll have energy to enjoy each other's company is when you get enough sleep.
It's frightening when you realize what your current habits result in. Changing one of them opens up possibilities of quality time and the fun all of us crave.
Involve Friends
But it's not about cutting your family off from the rest of the world. Quite the opposite. That's why it's important to involve friends in your home life.
Children shouldn't only know their friends online. People act differently in face to face situations. Help your children discover who their friends really are by allowing them to invite them to your home.
I guarantee a bunch of young people—without their Smartphones in their hands—will automatically result in fun and funny times.
But sadly we don't create enough of these times. In the end your children may remember someone's funny posts, but not what their real interests were. What kind of childhood do you want your children to remember?
Cater For Everyone
Think about what your child's definition of fun is. If it's about having a laugh at someone's expense, they need some tutoring.
Real fun means everyone laughs at the end.
To get this right you must cater for all ages:
- Can you take time to watch a children's movie?
- Did you forget to upgrade your board games to things your teenagers will enjoy? They don't want to play kids' games anymore.
- Do you listen to everyone's interests and request before planning a day outing? Your idea of fun may differ from someone else's. It has to work for everyone.
Get it right and you're facilitating situations where valuable fun can be had and laughter be heard. Are you ready for the other side of parenting?
We're supposed to show the next generation how to live balanced lives. That's part of adults' responsibilities. If they don't have anyone showing them how to have fun, they won't teach their children either. Or it becomes a problem if the fun they see on the internet is unsafe. Without a different example, they'll believe that's the only way. Are you ready to be the fun leader they need?

Loading Clock Preview...
"Painted Nails" Clock
Type : SevenSegmentWithColorGridBg
Description :
The clock's display is tall. The clock has quite a lot of padding at the edges, which makes the clock's display a little bit on the small side. There is a lot of space between the digits of the clock's display, which makes the digits seem taller and far apart. The clock has an edge glow effect. The edge glow is so transparent that it is very subtle and barely noticeable. The color of the edge glow is white. It is very fat and extends close to the center, leaving a small window clear in the middle. The clock has a color grid effect as a background. The color at the top left corner is close to medium orchid, with a hint of dark orchid and orchid. The color at the top right corner is close to sienna, with a hint of peru and dark goldenrod. The color at the bottom left corner is close to blue violet, with a hint of dark violet and dark orchid. The color at the bottom right corner is close to cornflower blue, with a hint of light sky blue and sky blue. The digits of the clock's display are made up of several segments. The digits are quite transparent, so one can still see fairly clearly what is beneath them. Their color is close to medium orchid, with a hint of dark orchid and medium purple. There is no gap between the digit segments. The digit segments have a drop shadow. The shadow has no offset. The shadow is extremely blurred, so that it is soft and blends seamlessly into the surroundings. The shadow has a small amount of spread, adding a bit of strength. The color of the shadow is close to purple, with a hint of dark magenta and indigo. The shadow is completely opaque, and should feel very strong.
The SevenSegmentWithColorGridBg clock combines a traditional seven segment display for the digits, a four corner color smooth gradient background, and an edge glow with themeable color, thickness, and opacity. The individual segments of the digits support theming by color, opacity, segment gap, and a drop shadow. Additionally, digit spacing, overall clock aspect ratio, and edge padding can also be themed.
