St George Bank case study

See how St George Bank, one of Australia's leading banks, enables their staff to have a pleasant work experience thanks to plants, including the Schiavello Wall, one of Ambius' Green Walls.

The brief

With a vision to be ‘Australia’s most respected Service Company’ and having recently been crowned ‘Call Centre of the World’, St George Bank offered a refurbishment to their head office at Kogarah, New South Wales. This new office fit out needed to complement the bank’s corporate branding and values. It also needed to provide a healthy, productive work environment and include a zone for staff to take time out to unwind and relax.

The solution

One of St George Bank’s own Business Analysts, Dennis Hernandez took up the challenge to be Project Manager of this refurbishment. Dennis’s approach was to focus on the needs of staff, and to include innovative, green and environmentally friendly fittings. Ambius designed and installed the interior plantscaping, and helped green up a break out area where staff could relax and recharge. The plants and containers throughout the building also complemented St George Bank’s corporate values and branding.

The results

St George Bank worked with Ambius to include a stunning Schiavello vertical garden wall which has become the centre piece in one of the break out areas. A growing design trend, the vertical garden contributes to the informal feel of the break out area, which even includes a massage chair to ensure employees get the most out of their five minute break away from their desk.

Throughout the open plan office, Ambius installed rows of simple, yet striking, red cone planters, with appropriately named ‘happy plants’. These planters help reinforce the bank’s strong branding and corporate values, and help define main walkways. The overall effect is a wonderful, fresh new working environment where staff can work more happily and productively.

"In St George we pride ourselves on the great service we offer to customers and the refurbishment project was an important milestone in rewarding our staff for their hard work and maintaining our award winning momentum. The vertical garden wall from Ambius is particularly popular and is a welcome addition to our break out area which provides a great place to stop, relax and chill."

About Lead

Lead Bohr

Lead is a soft and malleable metal with a relatively low melting point. These properties make it easy to work and cast, and in combination with the relative ease of extracting lead metal from its ore, are responsible for its early use by human societies. The earliest lead artifacts, found in modern-day Turkey, date back to 6400 BCE. Lead was used most extensively in antiquity by Roman society, who produced the metal on an industrial scale as a byproduct of silver smelting and used it in the production of pipes to carry water. The metal was known to the Romans by the latin plumbum, from which both the element’s symbol on the periodic table and the english word “plumbing” are derived. The english “lead” is known to have Anglo Saxon roots, but there are conflicting accounts of its precise etymology.

Even ancient civilizations had some awareness of the toxicity of lead, as several Greek and Roman scholars noted stomach pains, paralysis, and other ailments in workers who dealt frequently with the metal. Despite this, lead was used in pipes, dishes, cosmetics, coins, and paints, and even intentionally added to foods in the form of lead acetate. Over time, further evidence of the element’s toxicity accumulated, but the severity of the risk still failed to be fully appreciated or adequately mitigated. After the fall of Roman civilization, lead continued to be used in pipes and artist pigments, and lead oxide was used to make leaded glass or lead crystal. Lead glass containers were often used to store alcoholic beverages for long periods, allowing lead to leach into the liquid. Lead was also a major component of type metal, the alloy used to produce the moveable type used in printing presses.

Lead compounds ubiquitous well into the twentieth century: lead pigments were commonly found in artists paints and house paint, tetraethyllead was used as an antiknock agent in automotive fuel, and lead solder was used to seal joints between pieces of pipe used to carry drinking water until new regulations were effected starting in the 1970s. The effects of these applications linger even today--leaded fuel is still sold in developing nations and for some types of aircraft, and lead in plumbing and paint in older buildings is still often causes neurotoxicity in children, who are particularly susceptible to lead's health effects.

Today, lead continues to be used, though primarily in applications where the health and environmental risks are low, or where no suitable alternatives have yet been presented. More than half of all lead produced annually is used in lead-acid car batteries. Though using such toxic batteries is not ideal, alternatives are being researched and the majority of lead-acid batteries are recycled, keeping the majority of their lead content out of the waste stream. Lead is often used to line walls or storage containers to provide radiation shielding, and in weights used in sports equipment and applications such as scuba diving and boat ballast, all applications that present relatively low environmental risk. Lead oxide is still used to produce high-refractive index glass and to produce glass solder. These glasses are mostly used for optical applications or in electronics, and therefore the concern of lead leaching into liquids meant for consumption is not significant. Finally, lead-containing soft solder is being phased out of use in electronics due to concerns about leaching following the disposal of the devices.

One final use of lead is in semiconductor devices. There are four binary lead semiconductors: lead iodide, lead sulfide, lead selenide, and lead telluride. Each of these is used in producing radiation detectors--lead iodide in detectors of high-energy radiation such as x-rays or gamma rays, and the remaining three in infrared detectors. Additionally, nanocrystals or “quantum dots” of these compounds, in addition to ternary lead semiconductors, are areas of active research. There is potential for lead-containing quantum dots to be used in solar cells or advanced display screens in the future.

The most commonly exploited lead mineral is galena, a naturally occurring form of lead sulfide. Lead ores are roasted to produce lead oxides, which are then reduced to metallic lead. Only about half of lead used annually comes from newly mined ores; the rest is acquired through recycling.

Large quantities of lead, both the dioxide and the metal, are used in batteries, cable covering, plumbing, and ammunition. Lead is highly resistant to corrosion and can be used to contain corrosive liquids such as sulphuric acid. Lead is also extremely effective at absorbing sound and vibration. It is used as radiation shielding for X-ray equipment and nuclear reactors. Lead High Purity (99.999%) Lead Oxide (Pb3O4) Powderalloys include solder, type metal, and various anti-friction metals and compounds. Lead oxides are used in producing fine "crystal glass" and "flint glass" of a high index of refraction for achromatic lenses. Lead ceramics and crystalline material have a wide range of industrial and optical applications, including infrared detection and imaging. Lead-based semiconductors, such as lead telluride, lead selenide and lead antimonide are finding application in photovoltaic (solar energy) cells and infrared detectors. White lead, the bHigh Purity (99.99999%) Lead (Pb) Sputtering Targetasic carbonate, sublimed white lead, chrome yellow, and other lead compounds are used in paints- although the use of lead in paints has been drastically curtailed in recent years to reduce health hazards. Lead is available as metal and compounds with purities from 99% to 99.9999% (ACS grade to ultra-high purity). Lead oxides are available in forms including powders and dense pellets for such uses as optical coating and thin film applications.Oxides tend to be insoluble. Lead fluorides are another insoluble form for uses in which oxygen is undesirable such as metallurgy, chemical and physical vapor deposition and in some optical coatings. Lead is also available in soluble forms including chlorides, nitrates and acetates. These compounds are manufactured as solutions at specified stoichiometries.

Tummy tucks also made a resurgence on the list after falling off in 2016, with a 2 percent increase from the previous year. Other popular cosmetic surgical procedures on the top 5 list included liposuction, nose shaping, and eyelid surgery.

Botox, commonly used to smooth wrinkles and correct lines, was named the top minimally invasive procedure on the list, with over 7.2 million procedures completed. Soft tissue fillers, chemical peels, laser hair removal, and microdermabrasion also made the top five list for minimally invasive procedures, with fillers and chemical peels showing increased numbers from 2016.

The ASPS report also showed non-invasive procedures and body sculpting procedures saw a large increase. Cellulite treatments alone saw an increase at nearly 20 percent. These procedures often reduce fat cells using radio frequency, vacuum massage, injectable medication, infrared light, and ultrasound. Some of the most common procedures include non-invasive “freezing” technology and skin tightening procedures, and non-surgical laser treatments for cellulite.

The Hellcat Series Book Tour + Giveaway

A Cat's Chance in Hell
Hellcat Series Book 1
by Sharon Hannaford
Genre: Urban Fantasy

If the Demon Master gets his way the City is about to become Hell on Earth.

Gabi has some extraordinary talents. Some might call them supernatural, but for her they’re just part of everyday life. What she knows about the supernatural would give most humans nightmares forever. Ridding the streets of bad-ass creatures of the night is Gabi’s other job. Taking up the mantle of her father’s legacy, she is a Hunter for the Societas Malus Venatori. The first female ever bestowed the title. Her day job is a little less dangerous. Most of the time.

Being ambushed and kidnapped by the sinfully sexy Master Vampire of the City should have been just another night on the job, except for the fact that Julius has other plans for her. When he reveals that his nemesis wants control of the City and has plans to fill it with Demons from the Etherworld, creating an army of Ghouls and turning humans into nothing more than cattle to feed his Clan, Gabi must choose her path. She must decide whether to join with Julius in a stand against the Demon Master or flee the City with her friends and family, leaving the Vampires to wage their own war and the rest of the residents to their fate.

But it’s not in Gabi’s nature to back down from a fight, no matter how impossible the odds. As the Malus Venatori prepare for war, Gabi finds herself pulled deeper into Julius’s world and she makes some disturbing discoveries about her unusual supernatural abilities. Her existence might just be the answer to a mystery as old as the Vampire race. Even more unsettling than that is her undeniable attraction to Julius and the taste of his blood. But before she can come to terms with her conflicting desires they must all survive the Demon onslaught and find a way to safeguard the truth of her heritage.

While the supernatural bad guys know her as Angeli Morte, her friends call her Hellcat!

If you like your heroine smart, sassy and absolutely kick-ass and your Vampire hero sexy as sin and twice as dangerous you’re going to love the Hellcat Series.

Contains adult content.

All Hell Breaks Loose
Hellcat Series Book 2

In the City, the Werewolves are restless.

Gabi is striving to get back to life as usual. Dealing with the aftermath of being kidnapped and tortured by Dantè, wrapping her head around being a Dhampir, and trying to figure out Julius’s unexpected attitude as he withdraws from her and becomes cool and distant. As if that isn’t enough to cope with, she receives the disturbing news that someone she cares about has been dragged unwillingly into her world after a brutal and calculated Werewolf attack.

As rogue Werewolves run rampant through the City, it becomes clear there will be no gentle reintroduction to Gabi's duties as Hunter for the Societas Malus Venatori. Once again the Vampires join forces with the SMV to contain the threat, but the odds seem stacked against them and the casualties keep mounting. Tensions run high as the perpetrators manage to stay one step ahead of the Hunters and the senseless violence continues. No one suspects betrayal from within, until Gabi’s pets unmask a traitor. But the traitor isn’t the real threat and the war has only just begun.

This time their nemesis isn’t playing by any rules and no one is safe in this deadly, new game. Not even the Master Vampire of the City. As the undeniable chemistry between Gabi and Julius reignites, they realise the danger isn’t only to the human population of the City, but threatens to overwhelm them all. What they finally uncover brings Gabi into very real conflict with the SMV Council and leaves her questioning her life-long allegiances.

Not all monsters come in obvious monster packages and sometimes what you’re fighting to protect is what you should be fighting against.

Not everyone will walk away from this fight intact.

Strap in, hang on and grab a breath while you can. All hell is about to break loose!

"The Hellcat series is one wild ride ... one of the best new series to hit the dark urban fantasy world, ever! Two words: more, please." Diane Nelson (Sand in my Shoes Reviews)

A Cold Day in Hell
Hellcat Series Book 3

The City may be calm, but is the Hunter about to become the hunted?

For the first time in months the City is peaceful, so peaceful that Gabi’s suspension from the Societas Malus Venatori doesn’t feel like a punishment. Her relationship with Julius is stronger than ever and Kyle has finally found his soul mate, even if he seems to need some convincing. Gabi thinks boredom is her most serious problem. She couldn’t be more wrong.

The visitor Julius has been both expecting and dreading arrives, bringing with him dire news. An old enemy, out to destroy them, has revealed to the Masters of the Vampire race that Gabi is a Dhampir. The visitor’s presence also answers the question that’s been simmering in Gabi’s head for years; the truth of her origins. This truth brings with it a deeper understanding of the implications of her very existence, and she doesn’t like what she discovers. But it’s too late to change what’s been done and Julius must now answer to the Princeps’ Court.

As Gabi makes plans to leave the City, drawing danger away from friends and family, a dark prophesy by the Magi Oracles forces her to change course. She will not be leaving the City alone, and she will not be running from the threat. She, Julius and a handful of others will be heading straight into the mouth of the beast. They must present themselves at Court before the Princeps travel to the City and inadvertently uncover one of the most closely guarded secrets of the Magi world.

While the Princeps wear a face of impartiality and civility, what boils beneath the surface is a storm of selfishness, greed, lust and perversion. Danger lurks in every corner and it soon becomes clear that someone is determined to ensure that Gabi will never get the chance of a fair hearing.

Old friends and old enemies do what they have always done best, while new friends and new enemies emerge at every turn. Only one thing is sure; it’ll be a cold day in Hell before Hellcat goes down without a fight.

Put the coffee on and warm up your page-turning finger, it’s going to be a long night.

This is a full length novel.

Please note this novel is written in UK English and contains some adult content.

To Hell and Back
Hellcat Series Book 4

When Werewolves start turning up dead, drained of blood, the City’s Alphas turn accusing eyes on the Vampires. It doesn’t take much to get the newly-formed Werewolf Alliance riled up. But once Vampires start dying the same way it becomes clear they have a mutual enemy.

An unexpected visitor brings news that vulnerable supernaturals from neighbouring towns are also being kidnapped and murdered, and that the City seems to be the focus of the violence. With no idea of the motives behind the attacks, Gabi and the rest of the City’s defenders immediately commit to eliminating whoever, or whatever, is behind the bizarre and gruesome acts.

Adding to the chaos, demons suddenly attack in unprecedented numbers, stretching the City’s supernatural resources thin. The reappearance of an old foe from the Etherworld sparks fears that Mariska is back and still seeking revenge. And that once again, she’s made powerful, dark alliances. When all fingers point to something hellbent on uncovering whatever secrets the City hides, eyes finally turn to the Magi.

A war will be waged for the greatest supernatural prize of them all, and the outcome is impossible to predict. Not even the presence of a powerful Princep and the shocking revelation of Julius’s true potential can assure victory for the pure of heart.

This time Gabi is determined to get Mariska in her crosshairs, and she’s ready and willing to even the score. But there is no guarantee that everyone will survive this trip to Hell and back!

Come Hell or High Water
Hellcat Series Book 5

The City’s supernatural community is still in mourning, but there’s no time to spend licking their wounds. The face of the City has changed forever and now her citizens must keep up or risk succumbing to the darkness.

As the Magi withdraw to protect themselves and their vulnerable power source, it falls to the Werewolves to step into the void left by a crippled SMV. The Vampires are more than willing to help, but things are moving in the shadows; bad things that threaten to destroy everything Julius has worked for. Princep scheming seems suspicious, but in truth the greater danger lurks much closer to home.

When one of Gabi’s Werewolf friends is kidnapped by tech-savvy vigilantes it seems like an open and shut case of humans fearing what they do not understand. But as Julius travels from the City to answer the Princeps’ summons, leaving Gabi in the relative safety of the Clan, it soon becomes clear that they’ve misjudged the real enemy.

Left confused and floundering, it’s the Princep Benedict who finally provides the information they desperately seek. But his answers do not come without a price.

Defending their beloved City may seem overwhelming, but, come Hell or high water, Hellcat and Co will do whatever it takes.

Batten down the hatches, a tempest is imminent.

There'll Be Hell to Pay
Hellcat Series Book 6

Just a few months ago Gabi thought her life was damn near perfect. She could never have imagined that meeting one man would spark a chain of events that would change everything. The only resemblance to her previous life is her relentless hunt for supernatural criminals. Right now, her world has narrowed to two points of focus; co-leading the newly formed Special Investigations Department alongside Julius, her Master Vampire Consort, and searching for the traitorous Vampire Caspian and his pregnant Dark Magus cohort, Mariska. Catching up with friends and making peace with her mother are also on her agenda for the week, but life may just have other plans.

Even the most rookie supernatural investigator would figure out that things aren’t going well for the Magi of the City, but the High Council is maintaining its silence and remaining distant from the other races. The safety and security of the City’s population is falling ever more heavily on the shoulders of the fledgling Werewolf Alliance, leaving Kyle, Trish and the other Pack Alphas to handle a rising influx of demons committed to infiltrating the City and wreaking havoc.

There are many scenarios that keep Gabi from her sleep, and when one of those concerns becomes a sickening reality, it rocks her to the core. Taking one of those most dear to her is a dangerous game, one that few would play, knowing what she and Julius are capable of. The list of suspects is short and the guilty party soon shows their hand, but is this all just a ruse and what could they hope to accomplish by riling up such powerful enemies?

There is no rest for the team as, with one emergency over, they are handed a scrap of information that will ultimately lead them straight to Caspian and Mariska. But are they truly ready for the final standoff?

Who will make the ultimate sacrifice and how will the rest deal with the repercussions of an ancient prophesy that culminates in the birth of Mariska’s twin children?

This is the nail-biting conclusion to the Hellcat Series.
Buckle up boys and girls - there’s turbulence ahead.

Raising Hell
A Hellcat World Novel

The rest period is over and the ultimate endgame round has just begun.

The City has seen a peaceful lull for the past three years. The Werewolf Alliance has settled into their role as peacekeepers, stamping out threats the moment they rear their heads. The Magi have recovered from their losses both in numbers and strength and the Veil is more solid than ever. The Vampires never rest; the desire to create Dhampirs grows despite the law and the deadly consequences, but even their weapons are gathering dust.
And yet all of them know this peace is an illusion; a small space in time to rest and regroup. Because the Decuria still exist in the shadows and the Prophesy calls to all sides. The battle of the millennium is looming and only one side can win.
A new player has joined the game as old foes prepare to once more roll the dice. The board pieces are set, the gameplan is decided and the protectors of the City are the only ones who don’t know the rules.
Kyle and Trish have the family they never dared to wish for. Not only two daughters but an ever-growing, ever-strengthening Werewolf Pack. The love and security of family is everything they desired, but the weight of responsibility is burdensome and they can never let down their guard. Just when they thought everything was black and white, they are faced with a new choice; one that is all shades of grey, one that could change the Werewolf world forever.
Still reeling from the shock of the decision they must make, the fragile peace is inevitably broken, leaving the Pack blind-sided and chasing their tails. It will take everything they have to keep their family and friends safe. They will have to find strength in their weaknesses and vulnerability in their strengths if they are to survive this assault. Can they ever be prepared for the consequences of that which has been prophesied?
Fasten that safety belt and grab a handhold, this will not be a quiet Sunday afternoon drive.

Sharon has been calling herself a writer since she was eight years old. She wrote her first auto-biography at age ten. As a teenager, she was teased about being a witch, because she wore lots of black and walked around with her black, Oriental cat on a lead. She never disagreed too loudly, after all, that may have drawn attention to the herd of unicorns that lived in her back garden.

Born and raised in South Africa, she has called New Zealand home since 2008. Her life consists largely of looking after her husband, two kids, three cats, a dog, a pony and a horse, but her working day is spent writing, and her occasional hours off usually include books, horses or a glass of good red wine.
Though she has had many jobs over the years, her favourite is, without doubt, being paid to write about the characters who take up residence in her head. After an early foray into writing for children, Sharon discovered Urban Fantasy; the genre that felt as though it had been created with her in mind. She loves nothing more than to create strong-willed, female lead characters, who challenge those around them almost as much as they challenge themselves.
Sharon also loves animals of all shapes and sizes. She has owned all the usual suspects one would keep as a pet, and a few more exotic ones thrown in for good measure. She spent her teens working at a tourist farm and animal park, and as a result has handled everything from porcupines and warthogs, to ferrets and hedgehogs. She has been surrogate mom to many orphans including; kittens, lambs and an eagle owl. No matter how hard she tries, animals always seem to steal the limelight in her novels.

Nokia X7/Nokia 7.1 Plus

The Finnish technology has just introduced a new mid-range device in China, faithful to the information leaks that preceded it. It’s called Nokia X7 in the world’s largest mobile device market (China) but will be called Nokia 7.1 Plus outside China. It is the latest smartphone with the Android Oreo 8.1 platform.

Currently driven by HMD Global we have seen the company debut several of its smartphones in China. Only then do many of them have migrated to our markets. Similar destination guesses for the new Nokia X7 / Nokia 7.1 Plus.

In China, consumers will be able to pre-book this Android smartphone as of today. Moreover, this device with the Android Oreo platform turns out to be even more economical than we had anticipated.

First, in the Nokia X7 / Nokia 7.1 Plus we have here a 6.18-inch diagonal screen. With an IPS LCD screen, we have a Full-HD + resolution 1080p +. Moreover, this screen is capable of achieving a brightness of 500nits. Here as well as a contrast of 1,500: 1 with a gamut of 96%.

The new Nokia X7 / Nokia 7.1 Plus has arrived!

The screen of this Android smartphone also has support for playback of DCI-P3, SRD content as well as HDR. In short, we have essentially the same screen we already know with Nokia 7.1. Still, it will be this screen that more attention will attract, being tall, narrow and very elegant. Then we can see several of its main points of sale.

First, in the interior of this smartphone, it features the Snapdragon 710 processor from Qualcomm. Therefore we have here one of the best processors of today and without a doubt the best SoC for this segment of the market.

Android Oreo 8.1 operating system on the new Nokia 7.1 Plus

Secondly, we have here a total of 4GB or 6GB of RAM depending on the intended model. Therefore we also have 64GB as well as 128GB of internal storage as memory/storage options.

Third, and at the operating system level we have the Android Oreo 8.1 from Google and the promise of the Android Pie very soon.

The colors of the new mobile device from the Finnish manufacturer.

Already at the level of photographic cameras, we have here a double configuration in its rear (12MP + 13MP). We can point out the presence of a Sony 12MP sensor, the Sony IMX363 sensor. Therefore we have here 1.4?m pixels as well as a f / 1.8 aperture lens.

Dual camera 12MP + 13MP on its rear, 20MP on the front!

It should also be noted that this camera has optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS). With this, we can expect a great performance here, both in video and in night photography.

[MT6737M]Nougat AOSP Rom for Nokia 3

These cameras, with the seal of approval of Carl Zeiss are one of the most promising points of the new smartphone. It should also be noted that the secondary camera, 13MP, has a focal aperture of f / 2.4. We also have a 20MP front camera in the “notch” terminal.

In short, we have here a new Android smartphone built in glass and metal. The battery has a capacity of 3500mAh as well as the fast charging technology.

Nokia X7/ Nokia 7.1 Plus Price

In a final note, their prices start at the equivalent of 212 euros and go up to 312 euros. Here clear, values for the Chinese market – € 312, € 250 and € 212.

Mattress Store reviews in Fridley

    We have been to HOM Furniture many times over the years. Mostly just to look and eat a free cookie or two, with our kids. They have large stores with good selection and generally easy to get to near freeways. For the past year, we had been casually looking for bunk beds for our boys, but at this time were ready to buy. We were staging our house to sell and wanted something that was presentable. The boys had grown out of their youth beds and we thought bunk beds would create more floor space in their room. HOM had quite a few choices, but the one we picked was very sturdy and in the basic style we liked. I believe that set was on sale. We had to buy mattresses separately, but the total only came to $1000. We thought that was a reasonable price, given the quality of the total package. They delivered the beds and did a good job putting it together. The only negative I would say was our salesperson was nice, but not the best. We had asked about the some kind of caps for the posts, because we knew we would put the beds in separate rooms and wanted to fill the holes on top of the bed posts. She had quite a bit of trouble coming up with an answer in the store and with calls to the store later. I think we to buy some dowels at a hardware store. She got through the transaction with us, but got confused on a lot of things and she had trouble ringing through the transatction. Maybe it was the printer or computer. So either they need better training or better systems. In this day and age, you would think sales staff could all carry ipads with everything they need.
    I would definitely shop there again.

    I bought a therapeutic foam mattress here, and they gave me two free matching pillows and free delivery as a bonus. I've bought lots of furniture through them over the years, and they've always been good with financing, and had good customer service. As always, I've had a satisfying experience with these guys.

    Aaron was the manager at the St. Louis Store. He was low-key, told us not to feel pressured, he didn't work on commission, and almost recommended that we not make any decisions today. He was completely knowledgeable about the product, and was willing to give us an additional 10% off of the lowest marked price because I asked him about sales on the bed, and there had been a 10% off coupon for Restwell in the Star Tribune two weeks ago! Since we weren't planning on buying yet, he wrote out the offer on his business card for when we were ready to buy. The beds come with a "120 night" guarantee, so that if it is the wrong bed for you, they will keep working with you to find you the right mattress fit they can in their store. They also currently have financing for 6 month, No Interest, No Money Down through Wells Fargo. I also thought that $59 delivery charge was reasonable, which INCLUDES set up and removal of old mattress.

Trivia: We have 5
Considered to be Hayao Miyazaki's "Life's Work", Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind, was first published as an ongoing Manga series in Tokuma Shoten's Manga anthology Monthly Animage.
It took over 12 years for Miyazaki to write Nausicaa and for Animage to publish it, it is however important to realize that Miyazaki did not work on Nausicaa constantly over the 12 year period. Several times he put Nausicaa on the side to work on movie projects (including the Nausicaa movie). Over the 12 year period a total of 59 chapters were published, or roughly 5 years worth of Manga.
In mid 1983 Miyazaki stoped working on the Manga to focus on producing the movie. Tokuma Shoten funded production of the film which was done at a studio called Topcraft (Studio Ghibli had not yet been founded).
The finished movie spent aproximately 3 months in theatres. The success of Nausicaa was largely responsible for the creation of Studio Ghibli.
In 1985 an English dub of Nausicaa was released in North America by New World Video. Believing that Nausicaa could not be properly marketed in the United States as it was, New World cut a large amount of the film and re-wrote the story, creating a much more juvenile film. This English version was then released under the name "Warriors of the Wind" and was distributed on VHS by Orion Home Video for several year (until 1995 when the license expired).
Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli were horified by the changes made to the movie. The experience caused Miyazaki to take a hard line on future licenses, requiring that a "no edit" clause be included in all contracts.
Nausicaa was included in the Tokuma / Disney deal and Disney is currently working on an English dub for release sometime in 2004.

Sunrise Beach Family Session | Destination Travel Family Photographer

Back in February when I attended the Click Away conference with Clickin' Moms in Amelia Island, FL, I had the pleasure of shooting a session for another talented photographer and her family while they vacationed at the Omni Resort.

They were brave enough to get their three kids up and ready for a sunrise session and we had so much fun capturing their beautiful love for each other on the beach and in the forest.

Since we created these images to be enjoyed in print for years to come, I want to take some time to show you one of my new product offerings for 2018. I am IN LOVE with my new album which is handcrafted here in the USA and printed on a thick velvet fine art paper with layflat pages. There are plenty of cover options to suit different tastes, from distressed leathers (as shown) to linens.

Check out my Product Guide for details. This is such a beautiful heirloom keepsake from our session.

The fine art album

Because we created these images for a greater purpose than to be simply shared on social media.

Enjoy some of my favorite moments from our sunrise beach session. If you are planning a summer trip to the beach, I'd love to capture your family connections. Beach sessions are so relaxed and playful. I am available for travel to the Eastern shore.

JPMorgan Stock Flat on Eve of Shareholder Vote

After trading higher for most of the day, shares of JPMorgan Chase are headed down this afternoon as investors and analysts await the results of the bank's proxy vote set to be released tomorrow. With less than an hour left in the trading session, JPMorgan shares are off by $0.02, or 0.04%.

In what could be a defining moment for the nation's largest bank by assets, shareholders will soon learn whether or not they have collectively voted to split the roles of chairman and chief executive officer, both of which are currently occupied by Jamie Dimon.

While Dimon was widely heralded has the nation's top banker after adroitly steering JPMorgan through the financial crisis, his luck began to turn last year on the heels of a massive trading loss known as the London Whale scandal. Dimon had originally dismissed the issue as a "tempest in a teapot," only to subsequently acknowledge that it would cost JPMorgan more than $6 billion.

Things proceeded to go downhill for there. The bank has since become embroiled in the LIBOR bid-rigging scandal as well as recent allegations that it manipulated energy markets and hid evidence of its doing so. It's worth noting, moreover, that these allegations are on top of a veritable litany of other charges.

The question now is whether Dimon will pay for these missteps (and in some cases alleged criminal behavior) with one or both of his positions. The two largest proxy advisory firms have recommended to shareholders that he should. For its part, however, JPMorgan has waged an aggressive campaign to maintain the status quo. And just last week, Dimon intimated that he would leave the bank if asked to relinquish one of the roles.

What's the chance he'll be forced to make good on this threat? It's hard to predict, but I'd guess he's probably safe. Among other reasons, some of its largest shareholders, including BlackRock, employ a similar dual role for their chairmen and CEOs. Whether this will ultimately be good for the stock remains to be seen.

With big finance firms still trading at deep discounts to their historic norms, investors everywhere are wondering if this is the new normal, or if finance stocks are a screaming buy today. The answer depends on the company, so to help figure out whether JPMorgan is a buy today, check out The Motley Fool's premium research report on the company. Click here now for instant access!
