Ai UX Research
We were tasked with researching and prototyping UX and IU for a new website. We created fully working prototypes for the development team to work from. As we work in code it made it easier for the dev team to develop from.
When you cant find it, build it. An app created to help us describe iterative changes of website designs to clients in meetings. As we design with code (NoPSD's here) this tool allows you to compare 2 different LIVE html page layouts at a time within a single window overlaid on top of each other.
Highly experimental and Google Chrome only.
We built an in house marketing tool for Angloinfo. The tool is designed to allow anyone within the organisation to build their own flyers, business cards, letterhead paper, compliment slips etc. The tool is fully web based and allows anyone to generate a Print Ready PDF in minutes without any design knowledge. You can watch the promotional and instructional video to the left.
ROSA and Green Belt
ROSA and the fund for Women in the UK as well as the Green Belt Movement charities approached us to re-brand and re-imagine their websites. ROSA needed something new and fresh, with a back-end CMS where as GBM need something very graphical to tell their story. A quick montage of the concepts is on the right.
Ai Mobile app UX
As well as the main website we built a prototype of the mobile version of the site. Focus was on accessibility and ease of use as well as a modern look. You can watch the preview video to the left.

Where to Find a Rental Car After an Accident in Las Vegas, Nevada
Where to Find a Rental Car After a collision in Las Vegas, Nevada
If you have been involved in a traffic collision in Las Vegas, NV in your car or truck, and the damage sustained precludes you from driving the vehicle, you cannot be left without transportation because of another driver's negligence. Even motorcyclists run the risk of being involved in a collision where their main mode of transportation is compromised – leaving them at the mercy of the insurance company.
When a collision occurs, medical care is your first priority. Once you are cleared by a medical team, the first thing you are going to notice is that your transportation has been compromised, and the process of getting it repaired is not a quick one. Especially when the driver who was at fault is making things harder than they need to be. Most insurance policies include a provision for obtaining a rental car, even if you must initiate the process before the insurers can agree to a final settlement. At Bertoldo, Baker, Carter & Smith, we have compiled a list of resources to help simplify the process in Las Vegas and Clark County Nevada.
How Do I Know If A Rental Car Is Included in My Insurance Coverage?
Depending on the extent of the damage to your vehicle, it could be weeks, possibly months, before you receive payment from the negligent driver's insurance company. And you do not want to be left with the rental car bill when it is time to return the vehicle.
After your Las Vegas auto accident, review your car insurance policy to ensure rental car coverage is included in the terms and conditions. If you have any questions regarding the verbiage, contact your insurance agent directly to understand your rental car options.
Popular Rental Car Companies in Las Vegas, Nevada
You cannot be expected to go through life without a vehicle because a negligent driver has damaged your car in an accident. Your rental car should directly correspond to the type of vehicle you were driving during the accident. If you were driving a pick-up truck or mini-van and require its use for work or transporting your children, a small car will not satisfy your needs – and you should not be expected to accept a less than comparable replacement.
Obtaining a rental car after a car accident in Las Vegas is relatively easy, and some companies will deliver the vehicle directly to you.

What If the Negligent Driver's Insurance Company Denies the Claim?
Renting a car is a must for doctor visits, work, school, and daily activities like going to the grocery store. When the negligent driver's insurance company refuses your claim, and your insurance coverage does not include a rental car, the expense falls flatly on you. That is not fair. Our Las Vegas attorneys will help you pursue the driver and their insurance company for the expense, so you are not left paying the costly rental fees out of pocket.
How Can Bertoldo, Baker, Carter & Smith Recover My Rental Car Expenses After an Auto Accident in Las Vegas?
If you do not have rental car coverage, or the reimbursement period is shorter than the time you need to drive the vehicle, contact Bertoldo, Baker, Carter & Smith to pursue the negligent driver for your overall financial losses and expedite the legal process to resolve the delay insurance carriers often impose on the victims hoping they will take a lesser settlement. Our car accident attorneys in Las Vegas, NV at Bertoldo, Baker, Carter & Smith are available today at (702) 830-5243 and will provide the representation you need to recover your rental car fees, medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage without delay.

Look Again: Art Gallery of Windsor Celebrates Art Museum Day 2018 With Free Tours
To celebrate the 9th Annual Art Museum Day the Art Gallery of Windsor (AGW) is offering free docent-led tours of their Look Again Salon Wall exhibit, free admission, and a studio activity on May 18, 2018.
(Photo above: Look Again Salon Wall exhibit at the Art Gallery of Windsor to be featured during Art Museum Day 2018. Photo sourced from the AGW website at http://www.agw.ca/exhibitions/current/412)
"Look Again!" is an ongoing exhibition celebrating the Art Gallery of Windsor's permanent collection that has been acquired over seventy plus years. It's an exhibition that pulls together four centuries of art pieces mainly by artists from Canada, but also from Northern Europe, Britain, France, and the United States. Launched in 2015, the reconstructed 19th-century Salon Wall was described as, "possibly the most ambitious collection exhibition the AGW has ever developed," in the gallery's annual report of that same year, by AGW Executive Director, Catharine Mastin.
Most, or perhaps all, the art exhibited on the AGW Look Again Salon Wall was created long before people could hyper-connect instantly through the Internet and social media. However, during the 18th century people began connecting through salon-style exhibits. In that century, privately commissioned art that previously could only be found in the homes of the wealthy, began making its way into public galleries. This drew people out to experience original art in public life. The popularity of salon exhibitions grew during the 19th century, becoming a major social transformation that granted the public access to art.
Fittingly, the AGW is encouraging the public to get social by sharing their experiences using hashtag #ArtMuseumDay while touring their Look Again Salon Wall Exhibit. "Museums and galleries enrich our lives every day in powerful ways. The many artists' whose visions are displayed in this exhibition take the viewer back in time to an era before airwave communications and remind us of core values and experiences such as the beauty and diversity of the landscape, natural wonders, compelling portraits and even themes of loss and grief," noted Mastin.
The theme for Art Museum Day 2018 is Hyperconnected Museums, a recognition of the many ways in which museums serve as central points of connectivity within their communities, both online and in person. Art museums are often anchors for public spaces and neighbourhoods, and they partner with school systems and civic organizations in ways that make their towns, cities, and regions better places for everyone who lives and works there. Hyperconnected Museums also serve as engines for the creative economy, tapping the human creativity embedded in works of art — whether thousands of years old or as recent as 2018 — to inspire new ideas and ways of thinking.
An initiative of the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD), Art Museum Day gathers hundreds of institutions from across North America to recognize the arts and the important role that art museums play in their communities. The Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) consists of persons who serve as directors of art museums in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
"I am thrilled that the Art Gallery of Windsor is again participating in Art Museum Day, an opportunity to bring communities together to experience great art and special programs, both in Windsor and across North America," said Christine Anagnos, Executive Director of AAMD. "Art is vital to our lives, a reflection of both the incredible diversity of humanity and the many common elements that unite us."
AAMD's Art Museum Day is an opportunity to focus attention on the role of art museums in North America, an extension of the International Council of Museums' (ICOM) International Museum Day. AAMD's Art Museum Day and ICOM's International Museum Day are formally held each year on May 18.
On Art Museum Day 2018 the Art Gallery of Windsor will be open from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, for more information please visit http://www.agw.ca or call 519-977-0013. The AGW is located at 401 Riverside Drive West in Windsor, Ontario.

ASN gives a level 2 rating on the INES scale to an incident which occurred during radiographic inspections leading to exposure of a worker from the SGS Qualitest Industrie company
On 18th April 2014, ASN was informed by the DCNS of an incident which occurred during the night of 17th to 18th April 2014 during radiographic inspections on the Nantes – Indret à La Montagne site (département 44). A team consisting of an operator from the OTECMI company's Plabennec office (département 29), and an operator from the SGS Qualitest Industrie company's Harfleur office (département 76), was carrying out radiographic inspections using a gamma ray projector containing a sealed radioactive source of iridium 192 with an activity of 1.95 TBq (terabecquerels) in one of the workshops on the DCNS site.
During a radiographic inspection, the radioactive source is ejected and guided through a tube to the exterior of the device opposite the parts to be inspected, behind which films are placed. The source is then located at a certain distance from the device. After the inspection, the source is returned to the device which constitutes a protective shield against the ionising radiation. These operations are performed by means of remote-control. A safety zone is set up around the device. When the radioactive source is in the protection position, the operator can approach the parts to be inspected in order to remove or position the films.
Believing the inspection to be completed, the operator of the SGS Qualitest Industrie company entered the safety zone to remove the film, even though the radioactive source was not in the protection position.
After being alerted by the radiographer from the OTECMI company, the operator from the SGS Qualitest Industrie company moved away from this zone. The two staff members then warned the persons with competence for radiation protection from their companies and the DCNS.
Owing to the limited duration of the exposure (about one minute), the dose received by the operator, recorded at 5.3 millisieverts (mSv) by his active dosimeter and at 2.85 mSv by his passive dosimeter, has no health consequences and is below the annual regulation dose limit of 20 mSv for a worker exposed during the course of his professional activity.
The ASN regional division of Nantes conducted an inspection on 15th May 2014. The inspection and the analysis of the event revealed that several essential radiation protection procedures had not been followed, more specifically with regard to zone entry instructions. The operator from the SGS Qualitest Industrie company approached the source in the irradiation position without using a radiation meter, despite the audible alarm on his active dosimeter being triggered and despite the signs specifically indicating that the source was in the irradiation position.
Owing to the failure to comply with all the rules concerning entry into the zone, which led to significant exposure of a worker, ASN rates this incident level 2 on the international INES scale, comprising 8 levels, from 0 to 7.

Dems pick up three seats on Beacon Hill
Nguyen defeats Rep. Lyons, Rausch upsets Sen. Ross
This story was updated at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and the numbers stating the makeup of the House were corrected.
REPUBLICAN GOV. CHARLIE BAKER won a landslide reelection victory on Tuesday, but he had few coattails on Beacon Hill as his party ended up losing a couple seats in the Legislature.
Rep. James Lyons Jr., a conservative firebrand from Andover for the last eight years, lost his seat to Democratic newcomer Tram Nguyen in a high-spending race that attracted national attention. Over in the Senate, Democrat Rebecca Rausch of Needham ousted Sen. Richard Ross of Wrentham, who won the seat in 2010 when Scott Brown departed for the US Senate.
The victory of Democrat David LeBoeuf of Worcester also moved a vacant seat that had been occupied by a Republican into the Democratic column. The Republicans narrowly avoided losing another seat that had been occupied by a Republican when Michael Soter of Bellingham defeated 22-year-old Patrick Malone by an estimated 500 votes; Malone conceded early Wednesday morning.
In the barn behind his house in Andover, Lyons told supporters at about 8:45 p.m. that he was behind Nguyen by about 900 votes and it was unlikely he would be able to close the gap. He conceded a short time later.
Lyons estimated Nguyen spent between $200,000 and $250,000 on the race while he spent about $150,000, including $51,000 he received from the Massachusetts Republican Party. Nguyen disputed Lyons' claim about her spending, but campaign finance records indicate she had raised nearly $200,000.
Lyons said Nguyen had the backing of every major Democrat in the state, former president Barack Obama, most unions, and Planned Parenthood. "It's tough for almost anybody to overcome," he said, indicating that the Democratic political establishment was determined to eliminate a politician who bucked the Beacon Hill culture of going along to get along.
"I think that's what this election was about. I think the perception – not the perception but the reality – is that someone who decided not to go along – that became something that the power structure wanted to make sure wasn't going to continue," he said.
Nguyen, a 31-year-old lawyer with Greater Boston Legal Services, said the main reason she ran for the House seat was Lyons's lone-wolf style, which often left him alienated from both Democrats and Republicans.
Rausch, an attorney, defeated two other Democrats in the primary and then stunned Ross, who refused to debate her. The seat has long been in Republican hands except for the period from 1993 to 2004 when it was occupied by Cheryl Jacques. The issues page on Rausch's website suggests she will fit in well in the liberal Senate.The small gain by Democrats on Beacon Hill is unlikely to change the political dynamic. Craig Altemose, senior advisor to the environmental advocacy group 350 Massachusetts A Better Future, said party affiliations don't matter much on the climate change issue that matters to him. He said the more liberal Senate takes climate change far more seriously than the House under Speaker Robert DeLeo.
"It is more important that the House becomes more democratic than Democratic," he said. "If representatives were free to pursue the interests of their constituents, then we would see much faster and stronger progress, as that is what the people of the Commonwealth both want and deserve. But instead, most representatives seem captured by a Speaker who in turn seems captured by the utilities, meaning the utilities are calling the shots at the end of the day."

TYLER, TX (KLTV) - An East Texas artist is working to make bus stops across the city of Tyler a little more comfortable by adding chairs where there is no seating.
"It's very hard," said bus rider Billy Billington as he described riding the bus during the summer months.
Billington said with his physical disabilities, the most important aspect of his bus ride is having a place to rest when he gets to his stop.
"It's a blessing to have a seat to sit on," said Billington.
That's where art student Nora Schreiber realized she could help.
"I recognized that this was a need that's maybe not being filled, but I could do it," said Schreiber.
Schreiber takes painted chairs to bus stops that don't have seats. She ties the chairs to the transit signs with a couple zip ties. Each chair dawns a special message.
"The chairs have things that say 'respect' and 'worthy' on them so that the people that use them get this kind of positive feeling about it," said Schreiber.
She said her message reaches far more people than those who use the chairs.
"The people that drive by are also getting confronted with giving back and seeing yourself in somebody else's shoes," said Schreiber.
Schreiber isn't just stopping at chairs, either. Monday, she put out donated umbrellas to prepare for the upcoming rain and she's planning to have water ready when the summer heat rolls in.
City of Tyler transit director Russ Jackson says efforts like this help them better understand where resources are needed.
"There are grants out there that we are looking at to help fund, more extensive than the annual funds that are available to us," said Jackson. "The dropping off water is awesome. My encouragement to people is to help. I think that's what this city is made up of."
Schreiber said her chairs and umbrellas come from donations.
Anyone interested in donating supplies can drop supplies off at Stanley's Bar-B-Que in Tyler.

The 2110 Ultrasonic Module provides accurate non-contact liquid level measurement, using built-in software to calculate flow in weirs, flumes and streams. When used in conjunction with Teledyne ISCO's Flowlink® data handling software, that information can be managed and used in a wide variety of ways.
With the 2110, an ultrasonic sensor mounted above the flow stream transmits sound waves, which are reflected by the liquid surface. The elapsed time between transmitted and returned signals determines the liquid level.
The device then calculates flow rate, using the liquid level reading and a built-in conversion for the specified primary device or natural stream boundaries.
It can also be used for redundant level measurement to complement Teledyne ISCO's 2150 Area Velocity Flow Module.

The University of Scranton women' lacrosse team, currently ranked 20th in the country, opened Landmark Conference play with a convincing, 16-2 victory over visiting Susquehanna on Saturday afternoon at Weiss Field. The Royals scored the first nine goals of the contest and never looked back while improving to 7-1 (1-0 Landmark) on the season.
Senior Elena Gallo (East Meadow, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial) paced Scranton's attack with six points on five goals and one assist while senior Christine Olert (Katonah, N.Y./Somers) (3 goals, 1 assist) and sophomore Jill Henson (Baldwinsville, N.Y./Christian Brothers Academy) (1 goal, 3 assists) added four points apiece.
Junior Shannon Warburton (Wantagh, N.Y./Wantagh) scored three goals of the host's first six goals including the first two markers to get the offense started.
Scranton raced out to a 4-0 lead over the first 7:48 of Saturday's contest and added five more tallies before the River Hawks (4-5, 0-1 Landmark) got on the board with just six seconds left in the first half as the Royals held a 9-1 cushion at the break.
Much like the opening 30 minutes of play, the hosts continued to control play in the second half, scoring three times in the first 10 minutes of the period before stretching their lead to 16-1 with just under six minutes remaining.
Susquehanna closed out the scoring with another goal in the final minute of the half, netting their second marker of the day with just 41 seconds remaining.
Freshman Halle Conklin (Point Lookout, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial) scored twice and added an assist for Scranton, which also received goals from junior Kate Calabro (Seaford, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial) and sophomore Bridget Lalley (Basking Ridge, N.J./Ridge).
Junior Becca Russo (South Windsor, Conn./South Windsor) posted game-highs of eight draw controls and five groundballs while Calabro and Olert added three caused turnovers apiece.
Sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Devlin (Doylestown, Pa./Central Bucks West) made two saves in the first half to post her third win of the season while junior Erin Putnam (Doylestown, Pa./Central Bucks South) made five stops in the second half for the Royals.
Scranton held a commanding, 42-10 advantage in shots for the game and a 30-13 lead in groundballs while claiming 17 of the contest's 20 draw controls.
The Royals will host Farmingdale St. on Wednesday for a non-conference matchup starting at 4 p.m. at Weiss Field.

Mike McCarthy may have been relieved of his duties nearly one month ago in Green Bay, but he's in demand across the NFL, where eight teams are without a head coach.
NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday morning that McCarthy will interview with the New York Jets for their head coach vacancy.
Later Tuesday evening, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reported McCarthy would be interviewing with the Cleveland Browns on Thursday. It's unclear if that interview will happen before or after the Jets one.
In Cleveland, McCarthy would have the opportunity to work with Baker Mayfield. In New York, he'd be able to develop another young, promising quarterback in Sam Darnold.
With his 125-77-2 regular-season record and nine trips to the playoffs, including a Super Bowl win in 2010 and three NFC championship appearances, McCarthy is one of the few proven head coaching candidates in what many consider a thin field this offseason.
Once he was fired Dec. 2, McCarthy's name surfaced early on in the Cleveland Browns' head coach search. Former Packers Director of Player Personnel and current Browns GM John Dorsey has assembled a staff McCarthy would be familiar with, including Green Bay alums like Eliot Wolf and Alonzo Highsmith. The Browns confirmed Monday their interim head coach, Gregg Williams, was the first to be interviewed for the job.

Track Beauty of the Week: Lolo Jones
June 14, 2010Posted by on
Lolo Jones is this weeks track beauty!
Lolo has both the looks and the killer speed. She has had her fair share of life's down moments (Lolo once lived in a church basement). Jones lived with four different families in high school and juggled school with track training and part-time work.
Photos from Erik van Leeuwen and KDSanders
Even at the pinnacle of sprint hurdling, disappointment reared its ugly head once again. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Jones badly clipped a hurdle coming into the last few meters of the 100m hurdles final, causing her to drop from first to seventh place – losing the Olympic gold.
After the botched Olympic final, she faced the post-race cameras like a true professional athlete. Afterwards, shots of a despondent Jones crying her heart out were shown on air. She bounced back two years later, topping the 2010 Doha World Indoor Championships in stellar fashion.
Jones is one of the most colorful figures in the athletics scene, with her witty tweets passionate demeanor on the track. She exudes so much energy that its infectious, endearing herself to the fans.
PVC Hurdles
June 14, 2010Posted by on
Hurdle access is one of my biggest headaches. Using the good ole yellow and black hurdles in Moro is out of the question (Moro strictly enforces the "no coach, no hurdles" policy. And since I'm coach-less self-coached...) I can train in Ultra twice or thrice a week. But then again, the trip itself is physically-taxing.
Months ago, I thought about buying my own set of IAAF regulation hurdles, however, the sheer cost is just too much. I have no other choice but to improvise!
I browsed through various hurdle designs in the web. I went to the hardware store yesterday to buy the necessary parts (PVC pipes, PVC "elbows" and safety cones). In lieu of the latter, I bought cheap plastic pots instead. It turned out that that cones are a rare commodity in SM North Edsa.
I coughed out a thousand bucks worth of equipment, not bad considering one regulation hurdle costs about Php 5,000 to Php 7,000 – way out of my budget.
This afternoon, I spent a good 1 1/2 hour cutting through PVC pipes with a blunt saw. Since I'm not much of a craftsman, the task of measuring the various parts took quite some time – and much trial and error. Soon enough, the product of my hard work took form:
The flimsy, PVC hurdles are fixed at 3rd hole height (0.914m, 400m low hurdle height) since I usually do my hurdle walkovers and one-step drills at that height. I'm still experimenting with the optimum length of the hurdle legs. The hurdle pictured below sports shorter legs to better facilitate plyometric workouts such as hurdle hops(these are, in a sense, collapsible power hurdles!):
The pipes I bought are good for 4 hurdles (without the bases). I'll probably make 3 more hurdles just to complete one set.
It turned out that the plastic pots are useless as hurdle bases. I shouldn't have bought those, but then again, I can always use the pots in lieu of cones for plyo workouts.
With these improvised hurdles, I can save up on precious petrol by doing my hurdle drills at home, at the Ateneo HS oval (if for some reason I cannot use the college team's hurdles) or at any of the unused Ateneo football fields.
The rest of my equipment wish-list (in order of importance):
1.) Starting Blocks
2.) Sled and weight plates (for event-specific resistance training)
3.) Plyo boxes
4.) Weight vest
5.) Elastic bands

Brandywine Falls stands at 65 ft. and demonstrates a variety of geological features. A layer of Berea Sandstone caps the waterfall, protecting softer layers including Bedford and Cleveland shales. These rocks were formed from mud found on the sea bed that covered this area 350-400 million years ago.

Immigration Law Attorneys
When a foreigner intends to stay in South Africa for a longer period of time, he or she requires a valid Temporary Residence Visa. At Barnard Inc. our Immigration Law Attorneys are equipped to assist you in applying for the correct Temporary Residence Visa. In order to evaluate your intended activities whilst in South Africa and to ascertain your detailed requirements, we will firstly schedule a consultation. The sound reasons for a client wanting to stay in South Africa will enable us to ultimately assist you in your application for a Temporary Residence Visa.

The terms and allocated time period will depend on the type of visa you applied for. For example, a Relative's Visa will only be valid for a maximum period of 24 months from the date of issue.
In the event that your application is unsuccessful, you will have 10 days from the date of receipt of the negative outcome to bring an application to the Minister for the review or appeal of the decision. In this instance, we can also assist you.

A woman was found dead on a Harlem Street just after midnight on Tuesday, police said.
The NYPD originally said the woman, who has not been identified, was fatally stabbed in the head. Police later said she was not stabbed in the head, and that they are investigating as dead on arrival, not a homicide.
Officers found the woman in front of 406 Lenox Ave. near W. 130th Street.
Paramedics pronounced the 37-year-old woman dead at the scene. There have been no arrests and the investigation continues.

The ball is now in the Governor's court, so to speak. The report is not public yet, but the press release is out. It only took the State independent review team 18 calendar days to figure out what everyone knows: Wayne County is in a 'Financial Emergency'. Here is the money shot from the Michigan Department of Treasury press release:
The team's extensive report indicates that numerous conditions led to the determination that a financial emergency exists in the county. Those conditions include the following:
- The county's last four annual financial audits revealed notable variances between General Fund revenues and expenditures as initially budgeted, as amended, and as actually realized. In addition, County officials underestimated actual expenditures in three of the fiscal years by amounts ranging from $16.7 million to $23.7 million.
- County officials engaged in unbudgeted expenditures in violation of Public Act 2 of 1968, the Uniform Budgeting and Accounting Act.
- Although there was agreement among county officials that existing detention facilities are inadequate, there is no consensus about whether to complete construction on a new jail or to renovate existing facilities.
- According to the county executive's recovery plan, unfunded healthcare-related liabilities were estimated to be $1.3 billion as of the last actuarial valuation with funding set aside for this purpose of less than one percent of liabilities. Healthcare-related liabilities represent 40 percent of the county's long-term financial obligations.
The Governor now has 10 days to take one of five actions: do nothing, conduct another 'neutral' evaluation, arrange a consent agreement, impose an emergency manager, or file the County for Chapter 9 bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

The study carried out by Technisys and the GMix Program at Stanford University was mentioned in Brazil's leading business magazine, Exame.
In a feature published on April 29th, 2015, under the title "Not digital at all", facts and figures extracted from the report were cited to depict the current situation of digital banking in Latin America, where consumers expect more and better digital services from their banks in order to use branches less. German Pugliese Bassi, CMO, co-founder and Alliances at Technisys, pointed out that banks are not advancing at the same pace as their customers' digital expectations.

Conor Clifford was sitting in an office at Oriel Park and broke down in tears after being informed that he was suspended for six months for betting offences.
Dundalk had just contested the Leinster Senior Cup final and Clifford had netted a cracking free-kick. They lost the game but that was nothing compared to what was to follow.
"Stephen Kenny had brought me into the office with (general manager) Martin Connolly, saying I was under investigation for betting. 'Betting? I had an account two years ago,' I said. 'We'll sort it out,' they said.
"I played against Shelbourne, scored a great free-kick and felt I was was flying. The FAI Cup final was coming up and I thought with the few injuries there was I might have a chance.
"Stephen Kenny said after the game I'd a six-month ban, though he knew before the game and decided to wait until afterwards – he's a great man, a great person. I was crying in the office, gutted and gobsmacked."
The nature of the six-month worldwide ban – the lightest possible sentence, and it was a sentence, that Clifford could have been given – is quite shocking. By his return in early April, he will have spent six months unable to play, unable to train with team-mates, unable to visit a football game, barred from coaching kids. "I couldn't even go to the Cup final," he says over a coffee.
We've met in Kilmainham, not far from the home he shares with his parents in Palmerston. After the guts of a decade in England, going from Chelsea to the non-league via the Lord knows what, he came home to Dundalk last season, encouraged by Kenny that he could resurrect his career, like so many under the Dubliner throughout his Dundalk reign.
We're not here to go over what went wrong in England but plenty did.
He went on loan to Plymouth from Chelsea, under the best manager he's worked for in Peter Reid, but was repatriated after Plymouth went into liquidation.
On loan at Notts County, the first thing then-manager Paul Ince commented on was how small he was. ("After the first training session he came over to me and said he took it back.")
Later he was loaned to Crawley Town, where the first thing he was asked was what foot he kicked with.
He ended up in a London flat suffering from depression and playing for not only a non-league team but a bad one at that. "I'd been on loan to Barnet from Southend and we got promoted to League Two. I was flying.
"Then (manager) Martin Allen shook hands with me on a deal. I've a few stories about him – he'd bring an alsatian onto the pitch to kick the football with – but he was a good manager.
"We went to Benidorm for winning the league, Benidorm! It was mad. We shook hands on coming back in the airport, a three-year-deal in League Two. When I came back from pre-season I was messed around and I offered something very different to what we agreed.
"Closer to the start of the season I needed to sign somewhere. Billy Clifford, my mate, got signed for Boreham Wood. I'd just got promoted with Barnet and I never wanted to play in that league again — it was horrible, more rugby than football. I love getting stuck in but this wasn't good.
"We need a run of games Billy said. From winning that league the year before we just about stayed up – on the last day. It was a mad year.
"I felt really down in myself. How have I ended up here? I'd broken up with my girlfriend. I went home to a flat on my own with nothing to do."
He met a psychiatrist, came back home to Dundalk and it was not like he had envisaged. Mates in England, particularly Irish ones, were discussing the 2016 European run and Dundalk's performances were very much at odds with their understanding of the League of Ireland.
While Clifford knew it would not be easy, he was still a long way off. Players aplenty impressed him, Graham Burke at Shamrock Rovers the first he mentions of those outside of his own dressing room.
"To be honest I watched Dundalk in Europe, but didn't watch too much of the league. The standard shocked me. It was a lot better than I thought it would be, a lot more professional. It was a lot faster than I thought; the teams are a lot, lot fitter.
"I've done loads of pre-seasons and the first pre-season I did with Dundalk, with their strength and conditioning coach Graham Byrne, was the hardest I have ever done at any club. The guys are really fit. It was tough."
Still, things began promisingly. "I knew it was going to be difficult and it was: you'd Stephen O'Donnell, Shieldsy (Chris Shields) and (Robbie) Benson, all great players in my position. Kenny knows them inside out. It was always going to be difficult to shaft them. I'd have to bide my time.
"I played the first six or seven games, thought I'd done really well. We went to Rovers and lost and I was bang average myself. After that I was out in the cold. I didn't play for several games, not even off the bench; O'Donnell got fit and they went on a run.
"I had to bide my time, playing EA Sports Cup, Leinster Senior Cup with the younger lads; it was hard but I played and got on with it. I just had to wait.
"Then I got another little run before the ban was up; I felt really good and confident. Overall it was really stop-start. I think the only time in the league we lost when I was in the team was against Rovers."
Clifford's ban was especially unfortunate timing, as it came in the season of the damaging match-fixing investigations involving Athlone Town and Bray Wanderers. Rather absurdly, Clifford would be chucked into the same bracket as fixers, even if he were punished for a series of trivial bets that were utterly harmless and never involving games he was playing.
"Two and a half years ago I had a betting account with Skybet. It was £800 worth of bets over two years, no wins, and the biggest stake a £15 accumulator. All football bets, out of boredom basically. I knew I wasn't meant to be doing it but I was thinking: who am I?
"I've been on bus coaches going to games before and everyone was doing it, but I got caught. There was a rule you could bet on other matches but then it was changed. Someone did not tell us that though, the FA never did. I was naive.
"If I (were) fixing matches I deserve to be banned for life. I 100 per cent believe that but £800 over two years? Another thing I didn't know was the FA has a contract with every betting company that if they suspect a footballer has an account, they pass on my account to the FA. That's what happened. I was so naive, the account was in my own name."
Clifford has been treated like a criminal but he was entirely honest with the FA, the PFA helped him and his ban expires in April. However, he has no club, and fears being forgotten.
"It's the best shape I ever have been in at the moment – gym, running and boxing. I've been training two or three times a day, I've nothing else to do.
"Training being taken away from me really opened my eyes to how much I took being a footballer for granted. Getting up, doing what I loved doing.
"I loved the training with Dundalk. Graham Byrne is very good, Vinny (Perth) had great sessions. Dundalk did so well because they are so dedicated and professional; they do their pre-hab in the gym before training.
"Stevie O'Donnell – what a player and what a man – runs that dressing room in a good way. He's rung me to check up how I am a couple of times; I can't speak highly enough of him. In the winter, though, I had time to reflect and get myself in peak condition. Pre-season was all on my own."
He's been running in the park, his dad timing his sprints, and his mom cooking him healthy meals when he gets home. Kenny has called him but he is unattached and hungry to get back.
"I feel great. I have no preference club-wise: I just want to play football. Stephen has called me but he wasn't sure what the story was with the investors and all of that, so we'll have to see."
What will a manager get if he signs Conor Clifford? "He'll get someone who will work his nuts off and give everything for the club. I believe I can become one of the best midfielders in the league if given a chance."
Conor Clifford is 26 years of age but has seen more than his fair share. He'd advise all youngsters leaving Ireland to preferably stay at home and certainly not go for a youth-team contract, which he says is a free gamble for the clubs over there.
He regrets wasting some of his large Chelsea wage on clobber he wouldn't look twice at now, and marvels at "kids being on 17 grand a week now who haven't made one appearance for the first team".
Chat over, he makes his apologies, as he is off to train on his own in Celbridge. He seems happy now, not the man down and out in London. Just one thing is missing.

Climate found to determine gender of insects
Study: Climate Affects Gender of Parasitic Insect Offspring
The Latin Post
, May 23, 2014
Temperature, that is to say, the weather, can affect the determination of sex in insect offspring, says new research out of the University of Montreal in Canada.
According to a study led by Joffrey Moiroux and Jacques Brodeur of the school's Department of Biological Sciences, and published in the May issue of the journal Animal Behaviour, an insect will either have a male or female offspring depending on how hot or cold the climate happens to be.
The research focused on a species of oophagous parasitoid known as Trichogramma euproctidis, an insect that lays its eggs inside a host insect, which will then be consumed by the future larvae.
"We know that climate affects the reproductive behavior of insects. But we never clearly demonstrated the effects of climate change on sex allocation in parasitoids," Moiroux said in a news release.
As with bees, wasps and ants, the gender determination of Trichogramma parasitoids is called "haplodiploid," which means fertilized eggs produce female offspring while unfertilized eggs produce male offspring, Moiroux explained.
"It is possible to predict whether the parasitoid will lay a son or daughter by observing the presence or absence of a pause in its abdominal contractions at the time of spawning," he said. "A pause means the egg will be fertilized. Conversely, the absence of a pause means the egg will not be fertilized."
In order to determine if that particular fertilization behavior is modified by climatic changes, the research team exposed female Trichogramma to three different temperature ranges: 34 degrees Celcius (93.2 degrees Fahrenheit ), which was considered high; 24 degrees Celsius (75.2 degrees Fahrenheit ), medium; and 14 degrees Celsius (57.2 degrees Fahrenheit ), which was considered low.
The experiments revealed when the temperature was hot, the female insects deliberately produced more males than at medium temperature - at 34 degrees Celcius, or 93.2 degrees Fahrenheit, the number of males produced rose by 80 percent.
Conversely, the Trichogramma's ability to "program" the sex of its offspring appeared compromised, when the temperature was cold, said Moiroux. "There was a physiological stress that was not related to the females' choice...They intended to spawn as many females as during medium temperature, but the eggs were not fertilized after all. There were therefore more males produced at low temperature."
In insects, fitness has been shown to affect the size of individuals, particularly with females more than males.
"Larger females live longer and have higher fertility, whereas males are relatively less penalized than females when they are small," Moiroux said. "It is therefore advantageous for mothers to have the largest female offspring possible and use hosts that will produce smaller offspring for males."
But, it was found that insect offspring tend to be smaller when the weather is hotter - which is why, said Moiroux, females tend to use hosts found in hot areas to produce males and hosts found in colder areas to produce females.

On February 4th, 2019, Lisa Marie Mahone and her family went on vacation to Florida. Prior to departing, Lisa took her 1 1/2 year old purebred poodle, Aza, to a local Elyria professional dog grooming & boarding facility. Upon returning from her trip today (2/12/2019), she received the worst news possible… That her dog Aza had died. A Barking Boutique staff member had informed her father, Edward, who had gone to the facility to retrieve the family dog that Aza had escaped and was ran over.
Upon further questioning by Edward and Lisa, it was unearthed that "A Barking Boutique" didn't take the poodle to a vet after being hit and instead placed the deceased dog on ice in the backyard of the facility. They also stated that Aza passed away on February 4th, which is the same day that Lisa had dropped the dog off to the facility. Eight days had elapsed since the dog had passed and not a single phone call or text message was made in an effort to alert her of her dogs accident or death.
LIVE UPDATE 11:00PM: A Barking Boutique Exposed: A Dead Dog, An Arrest & The Shutdown (Elyria, OH)
ARTICLE UPDATE 10:56 PM: Sadly, Aza has been found dead at the facility and the remains have been given to Lisa & her family. Please see the article above for future updates.
A Barking Boutique staff member (allegedly the son of the owner) also stated that Aza had escaped by busting down a door that lead to the outside. However, Lisa and her family obtained pictures of the door in question that shows no signs of serious damage that would have permitted her dog to escape. Outside of the frame being clearly chewed over time, the deadbolts and locking mechanisms on the door are fully intact.
As this story continues to unfold more and more of the explanations that have been provided by "A Barking Boutique" surrounding the death of Aza begin to become highly questionable – to say the least. "They said it was an accident". The fact that there wasn't a police report made on the vehicle that struck the dog in the first place is bizarre. Then again when Aza had reportedly died on the 4th, yet not a single phone call was made. Then the fact that they didn't bother to take the poodle to a vet and the company stated that they put the dog on ice in the backyard for 8 days and yet the dog isn't anywhere to be found.
"They said it was an accident".
Not So Fun Fact: A Barking Boutique offered Lisa $120 for the loss of her poodle, yet still hasn't bothered to provide the remains of her dog. So where exactly is Aza?
COBRA Says: There's a real good chance this purebred poodle could have been sold for in excess of $1,000.00. Scumbags… Don't worry Lisa, we'll find out for you.
Lisa has still, as of this writing, been unable to visibly see her dog. Lisa and her family have circled the entire perimeter of the businesses property and her dog is nowhere to be found.
At 4:50pm the Lorain County Sheriff responded to the scene. They were unsuccessful in making contact with anyone working at the business and had stated that they would return again in an effort to retrieve her dog.
Where is Aza?
Live video below of Lisa shows her at the premises at approximately 5:30pm attempting to get information as to where exactly her dog is?
Deadly Business
A Barking Boutique
This isn't the first time that A Barking Boutique has been investigated for animal cruelty and housing disparities in the past. An investigation that launched years past showed that the facility was in good standing.

Got Poop?
Visit the The Poo Pros (www.thepoopros.com) if you need a trusted company that will take care of all your dogs (and cats) needs. One that won't ever do what "A Barking Boutique" did to Lisa.
The Bottom Line
SCUMBAGGED Tip: Never take your dog to this business. Just one look at it gives a shifty and shady feeling, but now you know that they can't be trusted. Unfortunately this comes at the expense of someone else losing their beloved dog, someone who they treated like a family member.
Scumbagged will be following up on this story and has reached out to the owners of A Barking Boutique without any response. Lisa spoke at length and provided the information for this story. Children images were also explicitly consented to be published.

Alorica's President of Asia, Bong Borja, along with Avaya Country Head, Ferdinand Macatangay, were recently interviewed by local Philippines news channel ONE News during its "Rush Hour" program. The interview focused on the BPO growth in the region, opportunities, and insights into what the region should expect in the future.
From a growth perspective, Borja noted that in the Philippines, the call center industry is continuing to grow between 7-9% annually. Just this year alone, Alorica will be opening two new sites in the region – Cubao Center, located in Quezon City beside the existing Alorica Cubao site, and Alorica by the Bay, located within the national capital region of the Philippines, and a stone's throw away from Manila's largest mall— The Mall of Asia. Stay tuned in the coming months for more details about our current expansion in the region.
With a population proficient in English, an educated workforce, a robust and reliable technology infrastructure and lower operational costs, the Philippines has consistently proven to be an exceptional market for the BPO industry. Today, there are 800,000 jobs in the call center space, with an expected 70,000-80,000 new jobs this year. And that's not all, this year the industry is slated to bring $1 billion dollars in revenue for the country. To learn more about our offerings in Asia, including the Philippines, visit us here.

Mortgage article 12:Mortgage Market is Focused on Customers and Costs, Research Reveals
16 April 2002
Fewer people than expected are using the internet to take out a mortgage, according to newly published research by the CML into the changing structure of the UK mortgage market. While the internet is highly popular with customers for gathering information and comparing products, the number of online mortgage applications is low. But the advent of the secure electronic signature could trigger a significant increase.
The CML research says the emergence of the internet helped encourage new entrants into the industry and led to significant investment in technology to make online mortgage applications. But customers still want face-to-face contact when making a large-scale financial commitment and many new entrants to the industry are now re-assessing their need for a high street presence and targeting mortgage intermediaries for new business.
The research, undertaken in conjunction with KPMG, concludes that overall the UK mortgage market is undergoing fundamental change and becoming a more diverse industry. It is adopting key features from overseas markets, combined with new ideas and approaches developed by UK lenders. Organisations are specialising increasingly in different activities within the industry in a bid to drive down costs in what remains a highly competitive sector.

Why community matters
In her new book "Everything" author Mary DeMuth says "if you have been hurt by community, God uses community to heal you." I have found that to be true for myself in the last three and half years. It has not been an easy or love at first sight relationship for me to engage in a local church or build relationships with Christians.
In my new faith I had little desire connect with the Christian community. My young adult experiences with the Christians and the church had jaded my perception. My experience taught me that Christians in general shunned gays and lesbians because they were afraid of them or they believed them to be demon possessed. Once I made the decision to follow Jesus my faith placed a wedge between me and my GLBT friends and I felt grave angst about churches and organized religion.
The first several months of my Christian experience were rather lonely basically it was me and Jesus and the Bible. I had relocated to East Texas was living with my friend who had lead me to Jesus and her husband on a small farm in the middle of nowhere. My only social outlet was attending faith based recovery groups who meant in local churches. I found these groups to be welcoming and accepting and related to the pain and struggle of many of those who attended.
One Sunday morning I turned on the TV and the Pastor of one of those churches came on. I sat there mesmerized by his message it as if the man had a bird's eye view of my life. Something within me was drawn to go to that church that morning. I had no clue of the service times, but I knew I needed to go. When I arrived I was shocked to find friendly people who seemed to want me there. Once I was past the front doors one of the group leaders came up to me and insisted I come sit with her near the front of the church. "No, I am good", but she wasn't taking no for an answer. So there I was in a church on a Sunday morning sitting on the second row. I was completely out of my element.
That morning was a turning point in my life; soon I was helping at their food pantry, doing little projects, or filling in when the receptionist was out on vacation. I was drawn to these folks, they seemed to see past my orientation to the deeply wounded person I was. They cared more about the condition of my soul than my sexual identity.
Shortly after I began volunteering at the church I found myself in the most unusual position; their regular secretary was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The lead pastor approached me and asked me to fill in until she recovered. In that moment I thought the man had lost his mind. Why would a Christian church want an openly gay woman to come work for them? I am sure my church was the only one with an openly gay receptionist in East Texas, who says God doesn't have a sense of humor. Talk about risk and irony.
That was almost three years ago, since God tenderly budged to engage in a Christian community. As a result I have ventured on this journey to resolve my faith and sexuality; it has not been an easy path. Most often it's been awkward and uncomfortable. Yet I have cultivated healthy meaningful relationships with both men and women; discovered Christians who are kind and caring people. The local church has been a vital element to my healing and spiritual growth. Relationship and growth are why community matters!
Look forward to your thoughts and comments,
