Vodafone gives hope to Ghanaian Farmers with Vodafone Farmers Club

June 12, 2015 • Businesses, Featured News

By Nana Appiah Acquaye, Accra, Ghana

Ghanaian farmers can now receive relevant crop and location specific information in their own language through a bespoke SIM card, thanks to Vodafone Ghana for its continues efforts to use technology to transforms lives and brings immense benefits to the society .

Through its innovativeness and creativity, Vodafone one of Ghana’s leading network operators has launched the Vodafone Farmers Club with the sole objective of helping the activities of farmers and to also improve their livelihood.

Speaking a well attended ceremony held at the Vodafone Village here in Accra, the Chief Executive Officer for Vodafone Ghana Haris Broumidis noted a recent study conducted by the African Centre for Economic Transformation (ACET) which highlighted the need to raise the standard of living for rural farmers through the use of modern standards of farming including technology to empower them; hence the introduction of the Vodafone Farmers Club which will not only seek to address concerns of rural farmers but will also bridge the gap between farmers and access to information for their products.

He said all the farmers on this scheme will benefit from specially designed data and voice packages to enhance their efforts; nutrition tips, weather information and market prices to give them an edge in selling and marketing their products.

Mr Broumidis who spoke passionately about the Agriculture sector believes that with the introduction of the Vodafone Farmers Club in Ghana, farmers would be empowered to increase their yields year-on-year. “As a developing country, Ghana is heavily reliant on the services sector; sometimes to the detriment of the agricultural sector. We want to reverse this trend; farmers should be empowered to increase their yields year-on-year and in the process, move Ghana from an over-reliance on imports to becoming an export-led economy” he said.

According to him Vodafone Ghana is committed to the growth and development of the country; its peoples and institutions and optimistic that when these structures are in great shape; Vodafone business activities will also thrive.

“The Farmers’ club is a great stroke of inspiration for this country at this stage of its development and we are happy to be leading this effort. By this product, we hope to help create new opportunities for the citizens and residents in Ghana and to make the sector very attractive” he added.

The Minister in charge of Agriculture in Ghana Fiifi Kwetey who ssion with hios presence in his remarks applauded Vodafone for taking up such an initiative to assist Ghanaian farmers with technology which will help transform their lives and the country at large. Mr Kwetey urged the executives of Vodafone to consider extending their services to the country’s extension officer in the Agriculture sector to enable them benefit from the use of technology in their duties.

He then pledge the government support for the initiative and  said his ministry will be ever ready to lend a helping hand to ensure the success of the Vodafone Farmers Club in Ghana.

Senators Finally Realize That Getting Smart Foreigners To Work For US Companies Beats Having Them Work Against US Companies

from the was-it-really-that-hard? dept

We've never really understood the hatred towards the H1-B visa program by a very vocal group of engineers. The H1-B program is designed to have smart, highly skilled foreign workers fill jobs in American companies. While it's true that some companies abuse the system, the best way to deal with that is to fight the abuses -- not kill the entire program. Companies that hire H1-Bs are supposed to pay them the prevailing wage for that job, so it shouldn't be possible to use it for "cheap" labor, as many imply. And, certainly, it looks like some politicians are looking to crack down on the abuses of the program. In the meantime, some other Senators have made a proposal that is sure to set off the folks who hate the H1-B program, especially because it makes a lot of sense. Rather than worry about the ridiculously low cap on such visas allowed each year, the Senators are proposing no cap at all on both H1-B visas and green cards for foreigners with graduate-level degrees from American universities or graduate-level degrees in certain key fields from foreign universities. In other words, it's about encouraging these highly trained, highly skilled people to come work in the US for American companies rather than having them go back to their home countries and work for companies that compete with American companies. Of course, for those who incorrectly view the world of tech jobs as a zero-sum game, they worry that jobs are being "taken away" from Americans. Of course, if they keep all these smart, skilled foreigners working at foreign companies, and those companies put the American companies out of business, it seems like there are a lot more jobs to lose. Instead, by realizing that a functioning tech industry tends to create more jobs, it's smart to encourage more skilled workers to work for American companies than to work against them.

    Microsoft and H1-B

    "Companies that hire H1-Bs are supposed to pay them the prevailing wage for that job" is showing ignorance of the facts. Gates is a promoter of more H1-B visas, but lies about the reasons. See
    In other words, he claims to pay them prevailing rates, but in reality only 3.3% got the normal rates. The other 96.7% received rates lower than average.
    In short - proof that H1-B visas is used to get cheap labor, because US employees are too expensive.

HP’s New Laptop has Built-In Leap Motion Gesture Control

by Jacob Kleinman | September 19, 2013September 19, 2013 11:30 am PST

Alongside an army of new devices, HP unveiled today the first ever consumer laptop with built-in motion control using Leap Motion technology, the Envy 17 Leap Motion SE Notebook. The new feature is visible as a black strip on the right side of the computer just below the keyboard, and currently works with a handful of games, though the technology will also be used to enhance the overall Windows 8 experience in the future.

We got a chance to test out Leap Motion for ourselves earlier this summer, and came away impressed but still feeling the new technology wasn’t quite ready for daily use. Hopefully, the introduction of computers with built-in gesture control will help give the technology the kickstart it needs as more developers incorporate it into their own software.

The Envy 17 Leap Motion SE Notebook  features a powerful but unspecified processor, and a 17.3-inch 1920 x 1080-pixel touchscreen display. HP also won’t reveal exactly when the new computer will hit stores, but pre-orders are expected to open up on Oct. 16 with the laptop’s price starting at $1049.

Amazon has announced that it will partner with the UK government to test drones as a method of delivering parcels. The experiment will allow the online retail giant to examine the viability of its Prime Air service, which the company has been unable fully test in the US due to regulations.

The ultimate aim of Prime Air is for drones to deliver parcels weighing up to five pounds, which covers 80% - 90% of what Amazon sells, within 30 minutes or less. In the US, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules state drones must remain within visual line of sight of the operators, weigh no more than 55 pounds, and can only be operated one at a time, making it difficult to test the service in the country.

But in the UK, a cross-government team supported by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is allowing Amazon to fly drones beyond their operators' line of sight. The company will also use the opportunity to test the UAVs' obstacle identification and avoidance sensors.

Additionally, the UK tests will examine how well a single person can control multiple autonomous drones. A CAA representative said a priority during the tests will be that the vehicles do not adversely affect other airspace users. The drones will be kept below a height of 400ft (the same restriction found in the US) and away from airports and flightpaths.

“This announcement strengthens our partnership with the UK and brings Amazon closer to our goal of using drones to safely deliver parcels in 30 minutes to customers in the UK and elsewhere around the world,” said Paul Misener, Amazon’s vice president of global innovation policy and communications, in a statement.

As well as testing the drones' performance, Amazon will be hoping the UK experiment can convince the FAA to relax some of its rules regarding commercial UAV flights. But even if that does eventually happen, it looks as if Europe will be the first continent to receive Prime Air.

Giovanni Pascale: I will try to tell…
(We were in the 30s)

I was ten years old and Gino a little bit more than eleven; we lived in our house in Benevento, a little provincial town. Our room was on the second floor; the balconies faced a terrace from where we continuously launched little paper airplanes that gently glided and landed on the roofs below.

We built these miniature planes with sheets of paper and competed with each other, always trying to make them go further.

We were two kids animated by a great passion for the flying machines: the paper planes were the first expression of interest that would inevitably bring us to model aircraft construction. The opportunity arose one day during one of our high schools classes, where an aviation magazine named “L’Aquilone” circulated among the students, from where we found the address of Movo, a supplier of assembling boxes and equipment for model aircrafts based in Milano. We immediately wrote to Movo and in a few days we received a catalogue, from where we chose the elastic and tube M5 model.

Once we finished the scholastic year, we travelled to the countryside in Faicchio, without having received the so-desired package. Nevertheless we spent our time preparing a little lab in a small room that we personally cleared and cleaned. We obviously did not have the proper tools, but we managed to find them a few days later. As a matter of fact, I decided to go with my father to his business trip in Benevento to convince him to take me to a hardware shop, where we bought all the needed tools. Finally we had our first small saw, our first lath, and our first drill.

During those days we met a guy from Fontanavecchia, outlying of Faicchio, who was also passionate for model aircraft construction. His name was Mario Brioli. He helped us a lot with the creation of our first model that finally arrived by mail. We brought immediately the bulky parcel in the lab, we opened it but unfortunately we noticed that the central tube was broken. We wrote immediately about the incident to the Movo that kindly and with great dispatch sent us another tube.

Thus we started to assemble the wing following precisely the Movo’s instructions and with Mario’s we succeeded in completing the model that shortly was ready to fly.

Unfortunately this first new model couldn’t fly because of the breaking of the elastic hank that shattered the fuselage. Disenchanted but not tamed, we started to make plans for the future. Schools were about to reopen and in fact we moved with all the family again to Benevento. We continued to read the Aquilone and I remember perfectly well the great expectation that we had every time we picked up the new issue to the newsstand. Thanks to this magazine we were informed of everything that happened in the field of the model aircraft constructions, as well as in the aeronautical one. And that was very important for us since we were always seeking for information.

In the mean time we decided to build our second flying model, always choosing from the Movo catalogue, whose name was M8…

Carey Mulligan admits acting is no longer the 'focus of her life'

Actress Carey Mulligan, who will soon open the Cannes Film Festival in the lavish adaptation of The Great Gatsby, has disclosed work is no longer the focus of her life since getting married.

Mulligan, who married childhood friend Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons last year, has said acting is not “everything” to her any longer.

Speaking to US Vogue magazine, she revealed she had taken almost a year off since her last film, the Coen Brother’s Inside Llewyn Davis, to focus on her personal life.

Acting, she said, was no longer “the focus of my life,” adding: “It’s what I love doing but it’s not everything.”

Speaking of her good fortune, she told them magazine it was "unsettling" to realise she had "exactly" what she wanted in life.

“Not like some version of it, not a slightly lesser version of it, but exactly," she said. "You’re like: This is weird. It is weird.”

Mulligan's latest work, Baz Luhrmann's new 3D film The Great Gatsby, has already been confirmed to open the Cannes film festival in May.

Luhrmann said of the decision: "We are thrilled to return to a country, place and festival that has always been so close to our hearts."

The director mentioned the fact that Gatsby author, F Scott Fitzgerald, wrote "some of the most poignant and beautiful passages of his extraordinary novel just a short distance away [from Cannes] at a villa outside St. Raphael."

Luhrmann's first film, Strictly Ballroom, was screened at Cannes in 1992, and Moulin Rouge, which he also directed, opened the festival with a lavish party in 2001 – similar antics might happen in May, given the extravagant hosting skills of Fitzgerald's protagonist Jay Gatsby.

Last September The Great Gatsby's release was moved back from its original Christmas Day 2012 date to 10 May. The film, which stars Leonardo Di Caprio as Jay Gatsby and Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, alongside Tobey Maguire and Isla Fisher, will premiere in America.

It was announced in February that Steven Spielberg would chair this year's Cannes film festival jury.

Tunisia releases CCTV of Bardo museum attack

Footage shows the shooters calmly walking through museum before shooting dead 20 people

Tunisia has released security camera footage of the gunmen walking through the Bardo museum during the attack that killed 21 people.

The one-minute video posted on the ministry's Facebook page Saturday shows the two men walking through the museum, carrying assault rifles and bags.

At one point they encounter another man with a backpack, seemingly a tourisr, walking down a flight of stairs. They briefly acknowledge each other before they walk on in opposite directions. There was no explanation of who the third man was.

One of the attackers is wearing a baseball cap and a heavy jacket, while the other has a red hoodie and track pants.

The video also shows stills of the dead gunmen, including a picture indicating that at least one was wearing an explosive belt.

Among the 23 dead in Wednesday's attack, 17 were cruise ship tourists, including British mother-of-two Sally Adey.

Mrs Adey, 57, from Shropshire, had been on a cruise of the Mediterranean with her husband, Robert, and was on an excursion to the museum.

Tunisian authorities have arrested more than 20 suspected militants in a nationwide security crackdown since gunmen killed 23 people, mostly foreign tourists, in Wednesday's attack in the capital, the government said.

Hundreds of people gathered for a mass in the cathedral in Tunis on Saturday, lighting candles to remember the victims, who included three Tunisians, in a ceremony attended by government ministers.

Outside, there was a heavy police presence along the central Habib Bourguiba boulevard. But Tunis was calm, with a music festival going ahead in the city centre.

Wednesday's assault, the deadliest involving foreigners in Tunisia since a 2002 suicide bombing on the island of Djerba, came at a fragile moment for a country just emerging to full democracy after a popular uprising four years ago.

The government said the two gunmen had trained in jihadi camps in Libya before the attack at the Bardo museum inside the heavily secured Tunisian parliament compound. Japanese, French, Polish, Italian and Colombian visitors were among the victims.

Authorities have arrested more than 20 suspected militants, including 10 believed to be directly involved in the Bardo attack, Interior Ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui said.

"There is a large-scale campaign against the extremists," he said. The ministry released a photograph of another suspect and asked Tunisians to help with information.

The government plans to deploy the army to major cities to improve security following the shootings.

Islamic State militants have claimed responsibility for the attack, but social media accounts tied to an al Qaeda-affiliated group in Tunisia have also published purported details of the operation.

Whoever was responsible, the Bardo attack illustrates how Islamist militants are turning their attention to North Africa. A particular focus is neighbouring Libya, where two rival governments are battling for control, allowing Islamic State to gain a foothold.

The United States is increasingly worried about the growing presence of Islamic State militants in Libya.

In an interview with Paris Match magazine, Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi said there were as many as 10,000 young Tunisian jihadists in all.

"Among the often desperate young unemployed, the call to jihadism has worked," he said.

"Four thousand Tunisians have joined jihad, in Syria, Libya and elsewhere, and some 500 have already come back here, where they pose a threat. That is not to mention the five or six thousand others we have succeeded in preventing from leaving."

US officials said that because of its strategic position, Libya has become a springboard for would-be fighters from across North Africa wanting to link up with Islamic State.

The militant group controls large swathes of Iraq and Syria, and claimed responsibility for suicide bombings at two mosques that killed at least 137 people in the capital of Yemen on Friday.

Four years after a popular revolt toppled autocrat Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia has completed its transition to democracy with free elections, a new constitution and compromise politics between secular and Islamist parties.

But the attack threatens to hit the economy of a country that is heavily reliant on drawing foreign visitors to its beach resorts and desert treks. Authorities have tightened security at hotels and tourist spots.

"This attack will have an impact, no doubt. But so far we have only had a small number of cancellations," Tourism Minister Salma Loumi told Reuters. "On the contrary, we are seeing support from Western countries and travel agencies."

AIR study stats

An Evidence-Based Math Program

American Institutes for Research (AIR) recently released the final report from their independent evaluation of TenMarks Math. The study's findings suggest that TenMarks Math improved average math performance by 0.19 standard deviations on state tests in classes that completed at least one assignment per week during the school year. That translates to an 8 percentile-point gain — from the 50th to the 58th percentile — in the first year of use.

Estimated Impact of TenMarks Math in the First Year

This change implies that a class at the 50th percentile in the state would be at approximately the 58th percentile if it systematically used TenMarks Math during the year.

The Effect of TenMarks Math on Student Achievement (August 2017)

Impact of TenMarks Math. The graph represents the estimated impact on achievement implied for a class at the 50th percentile of performance on the state's end-of-year assessment. The impact estimate is based on AIR's analysis of test-score trends of classes that completed at least one assignment per week on average on TenMarks Math for a single school year and a matched set of comparison classes that did not have access to the program. The impact estimate found by AIR is represented as the difference between the trajectories of the TenMarks Math and comparison groups.

The study, conducted by AIR, assesses the effect of TenMarks Math on student achievement across 10 states. By including a diverse set of states and multiple measures of student achievement, the study helps ensure its findings are robust and broadly applicable. In order to boost internal validity, the study uses a research design called CITS (Comparative Interrupted Time Series), one of the most rigorous quasi-experimental designs for estimating program effects.

[Solved] FaceTime Camera Not Working on MacBook

“Why is my FaceTime camera not working on Mac? Anyone knows how to activate FaceTime camera on my Thunderbolt Display. Every time I try, it says "No Camera Available - To use FaceTime Turn on the camera"? I do not see an option to "turn on camera" anywhere? Any help?”

no connected camera mac

With the built-in camera on MacBook, users are allowed to communicate with families and friends easily through FaceTime. But recently, some people complained that FaceTime no camera available on MacBook. Others also saw “there is no connected camera” error message from their computer. Reboot your Mac will be the first fix and it really worked for many people, but if it failed to work on your situation, follow the tips below.

1. Check Everything with The Camera

In most cases, FaceTime camera not turning on in MacBook can be bugs with the camera, check the following items before troubleshooting:

  • Try another application such as iChat, PhotoBooth to see if the issue is application-specific
  • Test the built-in camera in another user account to see if it is an user-specific issue
  • Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
  • Unplug the FireWire cable from your computer and the camera, after a while, plug the cable back in to the camera and the computer

2. Use A Command Line to Force Quit

If the FaceTime camera is still black and won’t turn on after the basic checkup, you can force quit the application using a command line.

  • Quit all running applications on your MacBook that using the camera (FaceTime, Skype)
  • Go to Launchpad -> Terminal (also find in the Applications/Utilities directory) and enter the following command:
  • sudo killall VDCAssistant

  • Still at the terminal, issue the following command as well:
  • sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant

  • Now reopen the FaceTime and the camera should work now

3. Fix FaceTime Camera Not Connected in Display

Sometimes FaceTime HD camera not working on MacBook is because it’s stuck on the internal camera and cannot select the display camera automatically; you can enable the camera manually.

  • Open FaceTime on your Mac
  • Go to Menu -> Video, select "Facetime HD Camera (Display)"
facetime hd camera

4. Use The Activity Monitor App

After trying the methods above, if the MacBook camera still not working on FaceTime, you may need to quit the process with the Activity Monitor App completely.

  • Close any apps that need to use camera
  • Open the Activity Monitor app through the /Applications/Utilities folder
  • Click on the top left column where it will say “Process Name” to put the list in alphabetical order
  • Find VDC Assistant in the list and click on it. Click on the “X” icon on the top left to close the process
close vdc assistant
Note: If the FaceTime App crashing, stuck on connecting or won’t active on iPhone, try Free Tenorshare ReiBoot for Mac to bring FaceTime back to life within seconds.

Now you got to know how to fix FaceTime camera not working on Mac clearly. If you still have more questions about FaceTime or other applications on MacBook, feel free to contact us.

fly with pets anywhere anytime

Relocating a pet internationally is all about following the rules and regulations. There are rules and regulations for vaccinations, airlines, flights, countries, kennels, documentation and more.  The following chart shows many of the tasks that have to be done in order to fly a pet. Luckily there are companies who can take some of the load off for the customer – like us.

 Complicated  - Pet travel 101

 Travel Methods

In general, there are three accepted forms of air travel for pets. While our choice of flights is influenced mostly by our budget and preferences, pet options have more to do with breed, size, human companion, airline regulations and timing.

1 – In-Cabin, Just like us

For those pets that just cannot bear to be parted from their owners (or the other way round!), the in-cabin flight is likely to fit the bill. Unfortunately as pets do not have a seat of their own in any international airline, this method of flight is restricted to small dogs or cats that can fit underneath their human companion's seat. Not all airlines and countries allow pets to fly in-cabin, and it is also important to note that it is not always in the pet's best interest.

Another aspect worth thinking about is the pet's temperament. We have all seen (and heard) those incidents when an embarrassed mother helplessly tries to comfort and quiet her wailing child on the bus or on the plane. Dogs that howl and bark at home are likely to do the same on the plane.

2 – Checked Baggage – Meet you at the checkout

Is it safe? Let's put the cards on the table. No one likes to think of his pet as baggage.  After all, this is not our pajamas and suits we are sending to the baggage hold, but rather our four-legged best friend.  Psychology and emotions aside, checked baggage is probably the best flight option for you and your pets from every perspective; cost, comfort and safety.

Pets flying as checked baggage are put in a special section, temperature-controlled and pressurized, within the baggage hold . At their destination, they are picked up separately from all the suitcases, and are then reunited with their owners.

3 – Cargo Flight – You go your way, I'll go mine

If you need your pet to fly separately,  cargo is the way to go. Although not a particularly cheap option, cargo allows you to fly your pet to any destination without getting on a flight yourself. Some countries and airlines allow pets to fly only as cargo. However, if you fly your pet as cargo, you will need someone at the destination airport to clear him through Customs and meet him.

Dump Truck Accidents

A dump truck accident is capable of producing terrible injuries, especially when the vehicle is loaded down with cargo. The weight difference between a typical car and a loaded cargo vehicle is staggering, and this can lead to tragic incidents that involve multiple drivers. This is why people in charge of handling cargo vehicles must exercise caution when on the road, and refrain from aggressive or inattentive driving. Unfortunately, too many drivers fail in this regard and represent a major risk to others.

Vehicle crashes are the number one cause of severe injuries in the U.S., and the risk of severe injury is particularly high when a cargo vehicle is involved. The sheer forces involved may leave a victim with serious physical trauma that manifests as broken bones, lacerations, or deep contusions. Crushing injuries are common when a vehicle is pinned against a wall or rail, and this may cause extreme nerve damage and leave a limb permanently disabled. Amputation may be the only solution for such injuries.

Burns are often present, especially when the cargo vehicle is hauling hazardous or flammable materials. If the victim is not extricated from their vehicle immediately, they may sustain deep tissue burns that result in extensive scarring, chronic pain and limb paralysis. Severe burns are often present when a victim is knocked unconscious during the crash, or is pinned inside their vehicle.

Traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs, and injuries that result in paralysis are some of the worst that a victim can face. A dump truck accident can cause extreme damage to a victim’s brain or spine, leaving them as a paraplegic or quadriplegic, or with extensive cognitive debilitation. TBIs can range in severity from mild to severe, and while mild TBIs can fully resolve, moderate and severe TBIs tend to be permanent. Such TBIs can cause problems with speech, motor function or cognition, as well as chronic pain, nausea or mood disturbance. In the most severe instances, a victim may require assistance with basic daily tasks, or even life support.

It depends on when the crash occurs and under what circumstances. In most cases, the driver’s employer will be held responsible for a wreck, under the principle of respondeat superior. If a driver error was committed while working, and they were operating within the scope of their job duties, the employer will be liable for any damages, though the driver will likely be named as a defendant as well.

If the cargo vehicle itself suffered a technical failure, such as a brake or tire failure, there may be several responsible parties. In addition to the vehicle’s owner and any maintenance personnel assigned to the vehicle, the vehicle’s manufacturer may be liable if the failure was due to defective parts.

Severe injuries and multiple defendants can make for a complicated case, so in the aftermath of a dump truck accident, any victims are encouraged to seek help from a personal injury attorney.

Our Positions

TFI supports minimizing nitrous oxide, sulfur oxide and ammonia emissions throughout all stages of fertilizer production.

TFI supports the Clean Air Act Risk Management Program (RMP) to prevent the accidental release of anhydrous ammonia.

The Policies

In response to air quality concerns at local and national levels, fertilizer manufacturers implement a number of environmental management systems to control potentially harmful emissions.

Wet scrubbers or fabric filters, along with supplemental filtering technologies, are used during bagging operations to control nitrous oxide and sulfur oxide releases. Ammonia emissions are greatly minimized by scrubber systems and gas recovery units. A range of other equipment specifically designed to reduce any other substances stemming from production is also employed.

The Clean Air Act Risk Management Program was added in 1990 with the aim of reducing chemical handling risks. One of the chemicals defined in the amendment is anhydrous ammonia which is a basic component of most nitrogen fertilizers as well as being a fertilizer itself.

To ensure compliance, TFI worked with the EPA and the Asmark Institute to develop MyRMP, a suite of retail guidance materials to assist all businesses in meeting the regulation. Visit MyRMP to learn more.

Industrial Design

What Is Industrial Design?

Industrial designers work to improve the function, value and aesthetics of products like iPods, cars, guitars, and even telephones. The industrial designers aren’t usually tasked with coming up with the overall design or something complex like a car, but they may be in charge of impacting the technical aspects of the overall design by considering the usability and aesthetics of the design. They use training and the collection and analysis of requirements from clients and manufacturers to create models and drawings on how to make the product easier to use, better to use, and better to look at. Usually a manufacturer or client will hire a professional industrial designer to work on a specific product. The client starts with a set of requirements and specifications for the product and then asks the industrial designer to help think about everything from how will customers feel when they look at the product to what can be added or taken away from the product to make it more user-friendly.

Industrial designers don’t just think about the physical design of the product, they also need to understand the visual, safety, and convenience needs of the consumer as well as the technical requirements the manufacturer needs to build and market the product at scale, and they need to make sure that their design recommendations comply with all legal and regulatory requirements.

The actual design process is different for different industrial designers but there is plenty of overlap. Almost all industrial designers understand the importance of doing research on the intended consumer, doing research on similar products already in the market, and prototyping or testing the product before delivering final recommendations. Almost all industrial designers will also sketch or model their designs and that is where different designers use different processes. Some designers prefer traditional pen and paper sketches on loose-leaf paper, but with the advancement of technology, more and more designers are beginning to utilize things like 3D modeling software, computer-aided design tools, and CAD programs. They also occasionally utilize CT scanning to ensure the model is ready to be taken to the manufacturer or client.

Work Environment

It is rare to find an industrial designer who owns and operates his own practice because industrial design is usually only a piece of what is a much larger and more complex design. Usually industrial designers work as part of a larger design team and most industrial designers are employed by large design firms and work in office buildings in close capacity with their teammates so that the entire team can collaborate easily on a single project.

Although most work in large design firms, industrial designers work in a variety of industries that can range from engineering and architecture companies to fashion and clothing design companies as well as car manufacturers, large technology companies, or even sports teams and media outlets. They also don’t work exclusively in front of a computer in a small cubicle. The importance of their work is in the detail and to discover that detail, industrial designers often travel to testing facilities, design centers, homes, or even work sites where the product is being manufactured. The job isn’t dangerous, because industrial designers aren’t usually on the front lines of the manufacturing, but they also aren’t cooped up in an office all day.

Education Requirements

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, individuals interested in starting a career in industrial design would be wise to earn a bachelor’s degree in industrial design, architecture, or engineering first, because that degree is almost always required for even the most entry-level of industrial design jobs. The reason for this is because the industrial design of a product is essential to the product’s usability and marketability and so design firms and clients or manufacturers are looking for talented industrial designers with sound understanding of design principals and solid skill and knowledge base of design techniques, computer-aided design software, and manufacturing methods.

Interested students would also be wise to choose a school that has been accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. A school that has earned accreditation from that governing body looks better on a resume than a school that they haven’t heard of or don’t know anything about, no matter how good the education may be. Getting into an industrial design degree program might not be as easy as you think though. You can’t just announce your intention to be an industrial designer and expect the school to put you in the program. Most schools want to weed out the pretenders and so they ask interested students to have a basic background in art and design which usually comes from some introductory courses in the subject.

Some employers will expect their designers to earn a graduate education in either industrial design or business in order to move up the corporate ladder. These master’s degrees not only help employee learn more complex design strategies and techniques, but a master’s degree in business helps the employee understand the business and marketing aspect of things which can help when it comes time to make recommendations to the client about their product.

Industrial Design Salary and Job Outlook

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ data from May of 2017, industrial designers are better paid than most employees who work as professional designers or work in the arts and design industry. The median annual wage for industrial designers was $65,970, more than $15,000 better than folks work in “arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media occupations”. The lowest 10 percent of industrial designers earned less than $34,610, and the top 10 percent earned more than $94,250.

Job Outlook

As of May of 2017, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that there were 39,700 professional industrial designers employed across the country. They also estimated that the profession would grow slower than most professions from 2012-2022. The number of professional industrial designers is expected to swell to 40,900 by 2022 which is just a four percent increase and a numerical increase of just 1,800 industrial designers.

How to Showcase Your Volunteer Work on Your Resume

Volunteering With Children in a School
••• Margie Politzer/Lonely Planet Images/Getty Images

Maybe you are reentering the workforce after a career break, or maybe you are looking to change careers. Either are good reasons to contemplate including volunteer work on your resume. The answer of whether or not you should all depends on the position you're applying for.

Whether to put volunteer projects on your resume depends on how relevant the work was to your career or future career and as well as how deeply involved you were in the organization. A key thing to remember is to be scrupulously honest to avoid misleading hiring managers about unpaid work in your past. If done right, having a volunteer resume section could help you stand out in a crowded field of job applicants.

The Pros and Cons to Sharing Volunteer Work

You may wonder whether to include volunteer work for your children's preschool or the Parent Teacher Association. Are you worried that by including this would tip off the hiring manager that you're a working mom and that's a strike against you?

If you do list it and the company doesn't consider you, think about this: Would you really want to work for an organization that doesn't support working moms? You can't change the fact that you are a working mom, and it's nothing you should have to hide.

When you are called in for an interview it's already on the table that you're a working mom. When your future employer knows this fact you'll get a good idea during the interview process how their company culture views working parents.

If you don't list your volunteer work you may be leaving out a piece of the puzzle that describes who you are as a person. Are you passionate about the volunteer work that you've done? If so, by letting your future employer know about it you may bet the opportunity to talk about something your passionate about besides your past positions.

Also, if you do not include it, you are keeping your resume strictly professional. This may need to be the case depending on your field of work or the position you're applying for. If the position has 50% travel you may not be considered if they know you're heavily involved at the school. (But also you should consider if you would want a position that would take you away from what you're passionate about.)

Examples of Volunteer Work You Should and Should Not Include

When you're putting together your resume, volunteer work you might consider listing could include:

  • Leadership roles, whether of an entire organization or an active committee.
  • Any experience that's relevant to the job you want. For instance, if you are applying for a graphic designer position and you designed your daughter's elementary school yearbook, that is probably worth including.
  • Service to organizations that share the same mission as your prospective employer, i.e. the companies you're targeting in your job hunt.

Don't think this means you need to add every single role you've held. The danger in putting anything on your resume, including volunteer work, is that an interviewer just might ask you about it. So you might consider keeping off your resume any volunteer positions such as:

  • Work that involved little effort on your part, such as a one-time walk to raise money for cancer research.
  • A supporting role, such as stuffing envelopes at a fundraising event.
  • That involved controversial or sensitive organizations. Think about the subjects that are borderline in polite conversation: politics, sex, and religion.

Where to Showcase Volunteer Work on Your Resume

How you'll present volunteer work depends on the type of resume you have. If you have a chronological resume, you can include volunteer work in a section titled "Related Experience."

If you have a functional resume, which is common among stay-at-home moms returning to work after a career break, you can include meaningful volunteer work alongside other positions, whether paid or unpaid. List the position you held and include a description of skills used and outcomes that are specific and as quantitative as possible.

For instance, if you organized a fundraising dinner for your local children's hospital, be sure to include that the event included a guest list of 600 people, raised $50,000 for cancer research and had overhead costs of only 15 percent. Mention any transferable skills, including sales (when you solicit people for donations), management (when you keep tabs on three dozen unruly volunteers) and event coordination (all the day-of-dinner details and last-minute crises).

How To Build A Retaining Wall

The reason why homeowners make retaining walls on their estates is to have a protective structure, so it stands to reason that it should be sturdy so it lends good support. This retaining wall is usually built to rein in soil and rock and stabilize them behind retaining wall to stop soil movement and erosion on steep and sloping landscapes. So read on how to build a retaining wall.

how to build a retaining wall

A retaining wall is also decorative in nature and can easily transform any plain looking landscape into something unbelievably beautiful. Such retaining walls can be made from a variety of construction materials that include timber, concrete, natural stone blocks, concrete blocks and bricks.

Your choice of construction material will depend largely on the height of the wall, the wall design you choose and the incline of the area so that you know how much soil and earth it should contain well. Before choosing the design of the wall, it would help immensely if you seek professional help as with domain expertise, you will get to have the best material and design that suits your wall and its height.

Though you can hire a contractor to build this wall for you, there’s also a good chance that you can do this as a DIY project as this is something that won’t take too long to finish, and you’ll save precious money too. If you wonder how to build a retaining wall, read on to see how you can go about it:

How to build a timber retaining wall

To build a retaining wall in wood, begin by excavating the area where you want the wall to be erected. If the area is on a slope, you’ll have to grade the soil by inserting wood poles in the slope and stretching a masonry twine across them.

Next, you’ll have to construct a base trench by digging a ditch on the side of the wall that’s on a higher altitude. Fill it with multi-coloured stones and level it with a rake. Over the stones, place the first level of cement. Remember to wear gloves when you do this.

Now, place the initial row of wood flat into the ditch, and follow it up with a second row of wood. For a strong wall, stagger the rear parts of the wood. Use spikes to attach the timber layers of one row to the ones below it. Work with a sledgehammer and a brick chisel to build a strong wall.

When the wall rises, push the earth in behind it tightly. As you fill the back portion with sand and soil, strengthen the wall with cement as it goes higher. There should be increasing numbers of cement mixes between the retaining wall and the ditch so that the wall gets sufficient material strength.

The higher the wall rises the farther the slope will be from the top of the wall. Top up any gap in the trench with crushed stones and earth, ensuring that the final level is barely a few inches below the top of the wall. You can now paint it or stain it the way you want to.

Your retaining wall is now ready.

Here’s a video you can watch on how to build a retaining wall:

Ducati Panigale V4 R First Look

What Is It?

It's powered by a Euro 4 compliant liquid cooled 998cc 90° V4 Desmosedici Stradale engine with MotoGP style counter-rotating crank, producing 217.2bhp at 15,250rpm and maximum torque at 11,500rpm. The engine is smaller but has lighter internals and revs much higher, resulting in more overall power.

Features include:

  • Aluminium frame and swingarm, Magnesium sub frame
  • Dual 330mm discs up front with the latest Brembo M4.30 2 piston calipers
  • 245mm disc at the rear with Brembo single piston caliper
  • Bosch 9.1MP Evo cornering ABS
  • Adjustable 43mm Ohlins NPX fork with 120mm travel
  • Adjustable Ohlins TTX36 rear shock with 130mm travel
  • Ohlins steering damper
  • Ride modes: Street, Sport, Race
  • Slide control, wheelie control, engine brake control, launch control
  • Auto tyre pressure calibration
  • 5" colour TFT dash, LED lighting all round
  • 4->2->1->2 exhaust system
  • Assist and slipper clutch
  • Lean angle aware up/down quickshifter
  • 6 speed gearbox

The V4 R builds on the £23,900 V4 S with a few track focused features such as a smaller capacity but higher power engine, Ohlins NPX fork, +/- 3mm swingarm pivot adjustment, the GPS/data logger as standard, pit limiter button, high flow air filter, Carbon heat shield, Carbon winglets, machined mirror block off plates and solo seat which all help to shave 2kg off the weight however the suspension isn't electronically adjustable.

Like the Kawasaki Ninja H2R the winglets keep all that power grounded at high speed and Ducati have included some purposeful looking cooling gills to the side fairings to make it look even more powerful alongside a semi-naked fuel tank so it stands out. The 3-spoke forged 17" wheels take a Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP 120/70 tyre at the front and huge 200/60 at the rear. Accessories include the Akrapovic full Titanium exhaust system (+17bhp) and the multimedia system.

At the very top of the range the £35,000 V4 Speciale weighs 2kg more but gets you the special red/white/green paint scheme, full Titanium Akrapovic racing exhaust, Alcantara seat, special grips, adjustable pegs, racing levers, racing fuel cap, brake level protection and paddock cover but it's limited to 1,500 units.

Colours: Red (obviously)

Did You Know?

Capacity was trimmed down from the 1,103cc in the other V4 models so Ducati could qualify for the WSB

Pre-WOD Nitro Boost

Fruits and vegetables improve WOD performance by optimizing blood flow to muscle.
Publish date:
Nitro Boost

It goes without saying that muscle uses a lot of oxygen, which must be continuously delivered by the blood, during intense WODs. At the same time, muscle produces a relative amount of carbon dioxide and heat, both of which must be carried away by the blood. Based on the importance of delivery and removal efforts, optimal blood flow to and from hardworking muscle is critical during a workout. Our hearts are tireless warriors, ratcheting up their beat cadence and vigor to pump more than quadruple the blood during strenuous workouts. However, can we say that delivery of blood to muscle is truly maximized by the heart’s amazing efforts? Or is there more that we can do on the nutrition side? For instance, are there foods or supplements we can consume before we train and/or as part of our general diet to optimize circulation to muscle during a WOD? Absolutely, and in this article we will explore nutritional factors that can support maximal circulation during and after a WOD and that can be built into your diet or supplement regimen preworkout.

Getting the Ol’ Juices Flowing

Nutrients and oxygen continuously circulate throughout our bodies’ thousands of miles of blood vessels. During periods when we are simply hanging out, skeletal muscle might receive 15 to 20 percent of the five or so liters of blood being pumped by the heart each minute. However, during a WOD, the demands made by muscle result in it receiving as much as 80 percent of the heart’s ramped-up output. That’s large volumes of blood surging through muscle, delivering oxygen and nutrients while picking up carbon dioxide and heat to be released by the lungs and skin, respectively. While the diameter of larger arteries carrying blood from the heart to muscle remain generally constant, smaller arteries and arterioles can expand to increase blood flow to hardworking muscle downstream, based largely on oxygen needs. Another molecule, nitric oxide, is one of the factors that can help expand the diameter of smaller blood vessels, thereby increasing blood flow, making it an important factor during intense exercise.

Arginine, Nitrates, Nitrites and Nitric Oxide

Arginine is an amino acid that can be converted to nitric oxide in muscle blood vessels. The principal enzyme involved is nitric oxide synthase in the walls of smaller blood vessels, and it makes sense that if you can increase the availability of arginine or increase the activity of NOS, blood flow would be maximized. While arginine has dominated the nitric-oxide supplement marketplace for the past decade, researchers have recognized its limitations, including rapid breakdown and higher gram amounts necessary to have a shot at any impact. Meanwhile, over the past decade, researchers also have been investigating the potential of natural nitrates and nitrites from fruits and vegetables to be more efficient and effective than arginine in supporting circulation to muscle. What’s more, it seems that nitrates and nitrites also may increase the efficiency of oxygen use, meaning that someone could use less oxygen to perform the same exercise.

Nitro Plants: Performance and Beyond

Nitrates are simple nitrogen- and oxygen-endowed molecules, once considered to be byproducts or even potentially hazardous. However, today we understand that naturally occurring nitrates can be converted to nitric oxide and serve to support blood flow during exercise and healthier blood pressure during the rest of the day. Among the best sources of nitrates are several fruits and vegetables, including dark-green leafy vegetables, turnips, rhubarb, pomegranate, spinach, endive, fennel, celery, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, cucumber, broccoli, tomato and beet juice.

Supplemental forms of high-nitrate and nitrite fruits and vegetables are available, but you need to look for ingredients that have specific levels. At this time, there are no hard recommendations for nitrate intake to help maximize performance. However, much of the research does target intake levels of at least 300 milligrams of nitrates from plant sources or supplements.

So when it comes to maximizing blood delivery to muscle for optimal WOD performance and benefit, perhaps ol’ Mother Nature can lend a hand — or a fruit, if you will. θ

All SDUHSD applicants get first choice as parents rally for future

All SDUHSD applicants get first choice as parents rally for future

ENCINITAS — All prospective and current San Dieguito Union High School District students who applied for admission to their school of choice during the district’s lottery got into their first-choice school, district officials announced Wednesday.

The news comes just a day after nearly 40 parents and students rallied outside of San Dieguito High School Academy to insist the district revise its enrollment policy to give preference to neighborhood students, some of which were initially kept out of San Dieguito last year as a result of over capacity.

“We just want our kids to have the same choice available to them as every other child in the district,” said Danica Edelbrock, who organized the rally. “We want a community school, we want our children to be able to attend elementary, junior high and go to high school together. I think it’s a no-brainer for the district.”

The district’s current model for high schools was borne during the 1990s when the district was opening La Costa Canyon, and parents and administrators were concerned that the new high school could create an ethnic and economic divide between the neighborhoods.

As a solution, the district changed San Dieguito from a neighborhood high school to an academy open to all students in the district that would have to apply for admission. The district continued with that model when it opened Canyon Crest in 2004.

Michael Grove, associate superintendent of SDUHSD, said that other districts have emulated San Dieguito’s open-enrollment model for new schools, including Mission Vista High School in the Vista Unified School District and Sage Creek High School in Carlsbad.

The district’s lottery process calls for each eighth grade student to declare one school as their school of choice. If more students apply for the two academies than the capacity allows, the district conducts a lottery.

Students who live in the school district’s northern half who don’t get into their school of choice must attend La Costa Canyon, and those who live in the southern half must go to Torrey Pines.

The current open-enrollment policy came under fire last year, when 65 students who lived within walking distance of San Dieguito were initially turned away from the school and were instead sent to La Costa Canyon High School.  Parents argued that the policy ripped social groups apart and forced some parents into longer, traffic-filled commutes to La Costa Canyon, which is about 15 minutes away without traffic.

This prompted a series of parent protests of the district’s open enrollment policies, which in turn prompted the district to search for both long- and short-term solutions.

The short-term solution was for the district to boost the capacity at San Dieguito later in the summer, which allowed for at least some of the students initially turned away to get admitted to the school.

Then, the district set up a committee of parents, staff and other citizens to explore the district’s enrollment policies.

That group, which is called the High School Enrollment Study Group, has held a series of workshops in which they have solicited community input on five options the district has for future enrollment:

• Make all of the district’s four high schools “neighborhood schools” with their own boundaries. Currently, only two of the schools, La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines, have neighborhood boundaries, while San Dieguito and Canyon Crest Academy are open to all of the district’s students through the open-enrollment process.

• Drop all boundaries around Torrey Pines and La Costa Canyon and make all of the schools open to all of the district’s students.

• Make small boundaries in the neighborhoods immediately surrounding Canyon Crest and San Dieguito, thus reserving spaces for local students at the schools.

• Make the smaller boundaries at each of the local schools.

• Keep the current open-enrollment process.

Sarah Gardner, a member of the study group, said a number of parents have attended the meetings and given both benefits and drawbacks to each of the options, information the school board will use to determine whether to amend the policy or keep it as is.

Gardner said she believes a change is necessary.

“Our community is being unfairly impacted,” she said. “We have the least choice. Everyone can choose their neighborhood school, but we can’t.”

While Edelbrock, who couldn’t be reached after Wednesday’s announcement, said she was hopeful the school district would again provide the space for the 2015-16 school year, her concerns were long-term.

Her daughter, Isabella Edelbrock, is a 7th grader at Oak Crest Middle School, and could face the same predicament as the students did last year, she said.

“I hope there is enough time for the district to find a permanent solution before she has to apply,” Edelbrock said.

Isabella does too.

“It would suck if I couldn’t go here,” Isabella said. “I think the community should get first choice.”

Rose McGowan Indicted on Cocaine Charge

Rose McGowan.

Actress Rose McGowan has been indicted on one count of cocaine possession by a grand jury in Virginia. Court documents say the cocaine was found in a wallet that McGowan left behind on a plane. McGowan has said repeatedly that the drugs may have been planted on her, and are not hers.

McGowan told The New Yorker’s Ronan Farrow that she lost the wallet while flying to D.C. for the Women’s March. The airport found two bags of cocaine inside. “Imagining I’m going into sisterly solidarity, I can think of nothing more opposed to that, energetically, that I would want in my body at that moment,” McGowan said at the time. The march occurred soon after McGowan accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault.

Her attorney, Jim Hundley, did not comment on the indictment on Monday. However, he wrote to the Virginia court in November that the drugs had time to be planted. “Depending on when and where the wallet was lost, individuals other than Ms. McGowan had access to the wallet for somewhere between approximately 5 hours 40 minutes and more than 11 hours,” he said.

Hundley and McGowan had moved to have the charges dismissed, which the judge refused. Her trial will be set later on Tuesday.
