Vote for the Lib Dems to stop Brexit

We launched our EU election campaign on Friday with a simple message - every Lib Dem vote is a vote to stop Brexit.

London taking part in EU elections on May 23 is something we barely thought possible in our long fight against Brexit. We now have the chance to show London is a European city with election results that will send a strong message against Brexit.

Members have selected an inspiring slate of candidates, led by lawyer and civil rights activist Irina Von Wiese, and entrepreneur and businessman Dinesh Dhamija

We will be campaigning hard to make sure that they, and as many of our candidates as possible, are elected on 23 May.

These elections are our chance to send a message to Westminster that London is committed to a future in the European Union. Results across the country will be a powerful force for a People's Vote - but we have to fight harder than ever to get there.

We can still stop Brexit - volunteer, donate or join today and be part of it.

Inspired by nature and garden themes, this Thinlit™ set is ideal for adding a natural touch to any cardmaking or scrapbooking projects.

Thinlits create dazzling detailed shapes for more creative cardmaking and papercrafting projects. These wafer-thin chemically-etched die sets are designed to cut, emboss or stencil a single sheet of cardstock, paper, metallic foil or vellum. They are simple to use, compact and portable for cutting at home or on the go. Use them for enhanced intricacy and to add a special touch of inspiration to all your projects.

The Thinlits dies in this set are compatible with the BIGkick, Big Shot and Vagabond machines.

To cut, the sandwich requires use of a pair of Cutting Pads and the machine's included Platform; when using the Essentials Platform or Solo Platform & Shim, the Extended Adapter or Solo Adapter is required. Because of their intricacy, Thinlits dies may require up to three passes to cut. If extra ejection is needed for easier separation of the die-cut from the design, place wax paper between the Thinlits die and your material and then cut.

These die can also emboss when the machine's included Platform is combined with an Impressions Pad and Silicone Rubber sheet. The diagrams on the Platform offer easy guidelines about how to make the perfect Sizzix sandwich.

To stencil, place the die over desired material and apply ink or chalk to the die indentations. This technique can be used alone or to enhance embossed designs.

Hibiscus Water Field Jar Candle

Hibiscus Water Field Jar Candle

Hibiscus Water is a floral blend of jasmine, lily and iris, with a musky base of moss, cedarwood, and amber.

Our Field Jar collection is inspired by the naturalists of the 19th century. They traveled around the world painstakingly collecting new species and documenting their findings. Often these specimens were kept in small jars and vials with wonderful hand notated labels. Our collection recreates these old labels and the look of the corked jar. It is our hope, once the wax has burned down, that the jar will be reused to showcase some of your own findings. Pebbles, small shells and feathers are instantly made more special when corked in these jars.

Hand poured in the USA with our exclusive soy base.

  • 35 hour burn time
  • 6 ounces
  • 4" tall x 3" wide

Boiler feedwater turbines

Prevent costly unplanned downtime with SKF

Feedwater systems
Used to drive the boiler feedwater pump in large coal-fuelled plants, steam feedwater turbines are subject to high shaft vibration and rotor unbalance that can lead to failures and unplanned downtime.

Along with high vibration levels, high temperatures and high pressures are just a few of the reasons that steam turbines require constant monitoring and protection. When breakdowns force machine work or rebuilds, repairs can range from hours to days.

Because turbines are always critical to power generation, SKF offers a range of solutions to keep them operating reliably, from advanced shaft coupling systems to sophisticated condition monitoring and asset management systems.

The perfect summer sparkler - B Secco White and Rosé - 3 syns per glass

Breaking the pattern

I have to admit, this end of week sabotage has been a bit of a cycle for me - and I think I’ve finally found a way to break it. I recently had the opportunity to try Black Tower’s new offering - B Secco White and B Secco Rosé. At just 65 calories - this is a tiny 3 SYNS per glass. I’m thinking to myself — this has the potential to be a game changer.

As summer gets into a groove many of us feel the seasonal shift toward refreshing, fruity, fancy fizzy drinks of a Saturday evening. Typically this has us reaching for cider, wine or prosecco. Make one wrong move with our choices however, and our syns for the week are thrown off -- undoing all of the good work for the week. To put this into perspective, here are a couple of summer faves and their syn values:

  • Pint bottle of Original Bulmers: 12.5 syns (up to 16 for a flavoured version.)

  • Kopparberg Original / Pear (12/15 syns respectively)

  • Small glass of white wine: 6 syns

  • Glass of Rosé wine: 4.5 syns

The Taste Test

I fancy myself as a bit of a Connoisseur de Booze, sure I’ve been at this game for almost 20 years! So, quality is important - a sparkling drink needs a bit of complexity. I’ve tried other “low-calorie” offerings and this is where they fall short - there is often something lacking.

Myself and my pal Maria found the perfect occassion to try a glass of the B Secco Rosé. I had just “proposed” to her to be my bridesmaid, and we were having a little celebration with a few tines in my sunny back garden. We both enjoyed it immensely - it has that celebratory sparkling zing, gorgeous fruit flavour and it even tasted… expensive. We polished off the bottle happily-- by then I had only used 9 of my daily syns!

Availability / Cost

The clincher here is that at the time of writing, they are on sale in Tesco Ireland for a mere €5 for a bottle - normally €6.99. A little birdie told me that there are also two more offerings to be released soon in Tesco Ireland - B Fruitiful Strawberry and B Fruitiful Passionfruit - which will be only 55 calories (only 2.5 syns per glass)

So find an occasion and round up your pals, and enjoy this summery delight guilt free!

Slimming World Free Food Syn Changes - September 18

Every so often, Slimming World review their plan - an essential function to ensure  long term success. In Early September, some new plan changes were announced as a result of one of these reviews. Has the day that many of us dreaded finally come?

Slimming Worlds plan changes affect formerly syn free foods such as flavoured yogurts, instant mash and tinned pasta. Lots of people are reacting to the news, particularly with the news the Slimming world favourites - Muller Lights - will be synned among other fat free yoghurt varieties.

The app is being updated to reflect the changes, and the 2019 Slimming world pack will be released sh with full details.

Quote from slimming world on the 2018 plan changes

“Our Nutrition and Food teams here at Slimming World regularly review the latest scientific and nutrition research, food trends and products to make sure Food Optimising stays bang up-to-date and in line with current guidance, so that you can achieve the very best weight loss results in the very healthiest way.

Following a full review over the last 12 months and based on the very latest nutrition data as well as feedback from members and Consultants about the potential impact of some food products on members’ weight losses, we’ve made some changes to the following:

  • Vegan products – new Free and Healthy Extra options added

  • Fat-free yogurt – more plain varieties have become Free, and all flavoured varieties now have a small Syn value

  • Instant mashed potato – all varieties now have a Syn value

  • Tinned pasta shapes in tomato sauce – all varieties now have a Syn value

It’s good news for our vegan members – new Free and Healthy Extra options added

The following foods are now Free Food:

Canned jackfruit – added to meat replacements

Seitan, plain & unsmoked – added to meat replacements

Dairy-free soya yogurt, plain and unsweetened, with added calcium – added to dairy products

And the following are now a Healthy Extra ‘a’ choice:

  • 40g Koko Dairy free alternative to Cheddar

  • 40g Daiya Medium Cheddar Style, Farmhouse Block

Fat-free yogurts – all flavoured varieties now have a small Syn value

Using the very latest information on average protein, carbohydrate, fat, sugar and calorie content of thousands of every day foods* together with the rapidly growing number of brands, products and flavours of yogurt available in every supermarket, our Food and Nutrition teams have created a much more robust way of categorising yogurt. That means we can now give product-specific Free Food allowances to the various types of yogurt (such as Greek, skyr, dairy-free, quark yogurts, protein yogurts and more) – based on their specific energy densities, their nutrient content and how filling they are.

This has led to new varieties being added to our basic Free Food yogurt list which now looks like this:

Free Foods

  • Fat-free natural yogurt

  • Fat-free natural Greek-style yogurt

  • Fat-free natural Greek yogurt and skyr

  • Dairy-free soya yogurt, plain and unsweetened, with added calcium

(Fat-free natural fromage frais, fat-free natural cottage cheese and unflavoured quark all remain Free Food.)

Our analysis has also led to a small change for flavoured yogurts, and all fat-free flavoured yogurts now have a Syn value.

Low-Syn yogurts

No-added-sugar yogurts will be around ½ Syn per 100g and yogurts with added sugar will be around 1 Syn per 100g, which means:

  • a 125g pot of flavoured Danone Activia 0% fat will be ½ Syn

  • a 175g pot of Mullerlight will be 1 Syn

The good news for flavoured yogurt lovers is that they’re still very low in Syns! And if you’re currently losing weight comfortably while enjoying several yogurts a day – by keeping count of the low Syns, you’ll be sure to continue to lose weight beautifully.

Instant mashed potato – changed to 3½ Syns per 100g made up

As well as having a lower concentration of some B vitamins, instant mash has less fibre and less filling power than mash made with fresh potatoes. It’s also often used to ‘tweak’ Food Optimising – being used as a coating, a thickener, a flour substitute etc. So to protect members’ weight losses, it will now have a Syn value of 3½ Syns per 100g made up.

Tinned pasta shapes in tomato sauce – changed to ½ Syn per 100g

Unlike dried pasta cooked at home, canned pasta is softer and takes little or no chewing (important to help us feel full). To help protect members’ weight losses and help you get into more filling, healthy Free Food and Speed food habits, tinned pasta shapes in tomato sauce are no longer a Free Food. The average Syn value is now ½ Syn per 100g.

Where you’ll see the changes…

• Tomorrow: the food search tools on the website and app will show the updated Syn values for these products.

• Next week: features and menus online.

❤• Late December: details have been updated in 2019’s Food Optimising book which every new and existing member will receive for free from 24th December onwards.

Even though some of these products are no longer Free Food, the Syn values are still very low, so you can choose whether to stick with old favourites or switch to Free Food options.”

— End Quote —

What do we think? In my opinion, one can't argue with Slimming World's science and data, so I trust the plan changes are for the better. I also think the changes are logical due to the sugar content of the foods mentioned. Lastly, it may encourage me to eat cleaner foods rather than choosing the convenient option in order to save a few syns.

Please share this info with your local slimming world circles to raise awareness and let us know your thought in the comments!

How To Create A Great Web Designer Résumé and CV?

The economy is bad. No one’s job is really 100% safe, so it’s time we all bucked up and got our recession bags packed (just in case!). Your portfolio is already gorgeous, but have you created a drool-worthy resume?

The economy is bad. No one’s job is really 100% safe, so it’s time we all bucked up and got our recession bags packed (just in case!). Your portfolio is already gorgeous, but have you created a drool-worthy web résumé or design CV?

This flimsy one-page document is more important than many people think: the web résumé is the first portfolio piece that potential employers see, and if they’re not impressed, chances are they won’t look at the rest of your portfolio. “But I’m not a print designer!” you moan. It doesn’t matter, and I don’t want to hear your excuses! You need to conquer this, because if you’re a great Web designer, you don’t want your first impression to be mediocre.

Further Reading on SmashingMag:

The Steve Stevenson Web Designer Résumé Challenge

Everyone likes a competition. How about one in which ten good Web designers have to design the same résumé in only a few hours? Meet Steven Stevenson.

Steven Stevenson, a fictional Web designer, doesn’t have a résumé. The competition: each designer must translate his work experience, education and interests into their own unique style. Watch and learn, people. At the end is a summary of good tips for Web designer résumés. (If you’re interested in taking the challenge yourself, check out misterstevenson for all the rules these designers followed, Steven Stevenson’s raw data and the chance to add your own entry.)

And in no particular order, here are the contestants’ entries!

Contest Entries

Sam Brown made a real effort to distinguish between the three main components of Steve Stevenson’s life and adds a touch of personality with some handwritten text and highlighting. He shows he isn’t afraid to mix media but manages to do so in an elegant, fun way. Download the PDF | Download the source file (.ai)

Web Designer Résumé

Ali Felski’s design is beautiful and simple, but manages to convey Steve Stevenson’s strong design skills. Her usage of colour is muted, but appropriate, and she’s left out a lot of extra information that could clutter up this one page document. Ali is also aware of the boundaries of the medium. She says, “A résumé should be designed well, but just like the Web, it has constraints, and even as designers, we should respect them.” Download the PDF | Download the source file (.eps)

Web Résumé

Chris Spooner opts for a purely typographic, clean design that showcases his ability to display information without the need for adornment. Clean design is a skill that Steve Stevenson may possibly need should he be looking for a corporate Web design job, in which case he’d need to present something simple and professional. Download the PDF

Niamh Redmond makes Steve Stevenson’s résumé stand out by choosing a landscape-style document with well-divided content and good branding. Niamh says about her design: “My aim was to design something in which each element served a function. Every shape and line, the colors and their use, the font variations and text sizes were chosen to communicate something to the reader.” Download the PDF | Download the source file (.eps)

Eva-Lotta Lamm chose to keep her résumé simple and typographic: “The only illustrative element is Steve’s little logo (playing with the nice alliteration of his first and last name). It is repeated as a small blue dot to separate different section sin the résumé.” The result is a beautiful, yet simple piece, which is easy to follow. Download the PDF

Sarah Parmenter goes with a solid yellow background and a very prominent photo of Steven Stevenson (who is quite cute!). She breaks up the copy and puts emphasis on his freelance work. Download the PDF | Download the source file (.ai)

Wez Maynard has simplified the information and given it lots of room to breath. His design could easily be used as a Web design. He’s also given a lot of space and prominence to branding and has effectively separated the freelance work from the work experience. Download the PDF

Luc Pestille has added some great imagery without making it unprintable. He’s allowed spaces for a photo and company logos, and he brings in arty spray-painting. While most likely inappropriate for a corporate work environment, it is playfully suited to a funkier job opportunity. Download the PDF | Download the source file (.ai)

Ollie Kav chose to use Steve Stevenson’s love of Japanese culture to organize his résumé. These personal touches give the CV a huge dose of personality, which would give employers something interesting to speak with him about in the interview. “I’ve based the design on the signage in the Tokyo subway stations, which has bright bold colors,” Ollie says. This boldness makes for a resume that shows Steve Stevenson’s confidence and passion. Download the PDF | Download the source file (.indd)

Albert Lo has broken an important rule by making his résumé virtually unprintable. But he has also organized the information very differently: chronologically, with awards, skills and work all intertwined, just as they would be in real life. Albert says his inspiration came from listening to house and trance; his colors and illustration really communicate the type of designer he is. Download the PDF

You can download all of these entries in a handy ZIP file (5 Mb). Thanks to all designers for their participation!

10 Useful Tips For A Great Résumé Design

Let’s now take a look at some useful ideas and guidelines that – in our humble opinion – may help you to achieve a great, compact and beautiful CV.

1. Make It a Summary

Your résumé needs to tell an employer (at a quick glance) the details most relevant to him or her. This means the whole thing should fit on one page! If you’re a Web designer, keeping it short and punchy is even more important. Sure, writing for Web is different than writing for print, but by showing your potential employer that you can keep things concise, you are actually showcasing an important Web skill. Besides, you need to leave something to talk about in the interview!

2. Keep It Simple and Understandable

When designing a CV, remember first and foremost that you are a designer, but don’t go overboard. Many people over-design their résumé. It’s a chronic problem: they’ll add so many fancy bits that the actual content gets lost. Most design jobs are all about your ability to organize content, so simplify, simplify, simplify!

But that doesn’t mean boring either. “Simple doesn’t mean simplistic; simple is hard to achieve,” says Niamh. Remember that you are applying for a design job, not to become a managerial assistant or to compete in an art college creativity competition.

3. Leave Some Details Out

Some people include their entire life history and every personal detail on their résumé. Your job as a clerk at the corner store 10 years ago won’t ever get you a job in Web design. Mentioning it only takes focus away from your relevant work experience. Keep your marital status, age and grades off, too. What if a potential employer wants to see your grades? Wez Maynard offers some great advice about this: “If the employer wants to judge you on your grades and not your portfolio, believe me, you do not want to work for them.”

4. Make It Perfect

You are a professional, so attention to detail is critical. Everything on your CV should line up, every pixel should be absolutely perfect. And even though the job is not to be a writer, a large proportion of employers throw away résumés with spelling or grammatical mistakes in them. By making it perfect, you are showing potential employers that you aren’t sloppy and that you will care about every detail of their projects. Get 10 people who can spell to look it over. Just do it.

5. Use a Grid

Over and over, Web designers scream about “the grid.” Why is the grid so important for a Web designer’s résumé? If you’re applying for a design job, the employer will most likely have an understanding of grids and baseline grids. “If you’re not using a grid, you run the risk of giving the impression that you don’t have an understanding of basic design principles,” Olliekav warns us. For those employers with no design background, grids make your résumé look cleaner and more organized.

6. Make It Printable

When working on designs for websites, you are allowed to have dark, moody and texture-heavy backgrounds. They look fantastic on your browser, but they are simply inappropriate for web résumés. Most CVs are printed out and given to hiring managers in batches, but not everyone has a photo-quality color printer; and, without contrast, your background-heavy résumé will become illegible.

So make sure your résumé

  1. matches the paper size for your country (letter size for the US and A4 for the UK, for example), so that employers don’t have to make any adjustments before printing,
  2. has a white background,
  3. looks okay in black and white,
  4. will print well at 300 dpi. The best way to avoid a pixelated result is to create a PDF with embedded fonts.

Displaying URLs for your projects is crucial. If the employer will be viewing the résumé as a PDF, link the URLs back to your portfolio (using anchors if it is very long) or the projects themselves. Here’s how to create links in a PDF document.

(Many of the designers in the Steve Stevenson challenge noted that they would have done this, but because the applicant is fictional, the links wouldn’t have gone anywhere!)

Once your résumé is printed out, it should serve as a quick reference for potential employers to check out your projects. So, spell out the URLs alongside your project descriptions. You don’t need the http://www at the beginning of each URL, though.

8. Don’t Use a Template

A little inspiration here and there never hurt anyone. But imagine you submitted a web résumé and it was the exact same as someone else’s? Gosh, would your face be red. If you are a Web designer, you probably wouldn’t want to use a template for your portfolio website either. Take some time and think about the impression you want to make: I bet it isn’t that you can enter data into a template.

9. Update it often

Résumés are an often neglected aspect of a web designer’s portfolio. Make sure you update it every time you update your portfolio and make it accessible from your portfolio.

10. Show Your Personality

You are a designer, so I hope you have your own style. Steve Stevenson, from his interests, sounds like an interesting guy. Olliekav used his love of Japanese culture to give his résumé a personal touch without going overboard. If the job you’re applying for requires a lot of creative thinking, the employer wants to know you’re not a pixel pusher or a drone. Let them know you have personality, a sense of humor and a sense of style.

Bonus: If You’re Going to Break the Rules, Do It Well

Albert’s resume is completely unprintable, but it’s also absolutely beautiful. If you’re going to take risks like this, make sure you’re willing to alienate a few haters en route to more creative employers who will appreciate your ability to think outside of the box. Always make sure you’re aware of the rules, and break them cautiously. Done right, you’ll shine from the crowd.

The web résumé is an oft-neglected piece of the Web designer’s portfolio. Make sure you update yours every time you update your portfolio, and make it accessible from your portfolio.

Drake calls Athiya Shetty ‘true goddess’ while wishing her on birthday

Popular rapper Drake wished Bollywood’s emerging actress, Athiya Shetty on her 26th birthday with a rather cheesy comment on Instagram. The God’s Plan singer is often seen commenting and liking the Nawabzaade star’s posts on Instagram leading to speculation whether the two share a closer relationship than friendship.

Athiya shared a photo of herself cutting a cake and wearing a birthday cap which she captioned: “This one was extra special and happy indeed. Thank you for all the love, wishes, and blessings. I truly feel so tremendously grateful and special. To my main people, I love you. You know who you are. PS: 26, be kind.”

The photo quickly became viral as the In My Feelings singer commented on it wishing the Mubarakan actress a happy birthday and calling her a “a true goddess”. “Happy birthday to my SHETTY a true goddess!!!! Guess who’s watching Mubarakan 3 times on the tour bus in your honour.”

Read: Drake thinks this Bollywood actor is a legend

Earlier, he left a comment saying “legend” on her photo with her father, Sunil Shetty. Before the rumour mill could go into an overdrive, a close friend of the Bollywood actress clarified that the Canadian rapper is just a close friend and nothing more, as reported by India Today.

The two first met last year at a restaurant in London. Both were accompanied by their friends and reportedly hit it off really well. They have been friends since then, the close friend revealed to the leading daily.

The Sound of Ashana: Live! In Concert

… transcendent music for healing, relaxation and joy

Ashana’s concerts are described as “ecstatic,” “profoundly healing,” and “breathtakingly beautiful!” One often heard comment is how the CDs do not even begin to prepare a person for the exquisite experience of Ashana’s live shows.  Weaving together renditions of sacred chant, song and poetry from the world’s traditions with passionate soaring vocals and the luminous sound of crystal singing bowls, Ashana’s live events are a heart-opening journey of joyous song and mantra, inspiration, love, laughter and the transcendent healing sounds of masterful crystal bowl playing.

Featuring Ashana on vocals and crystal singing bowls, with guest musicians.

For booking information: email [email protected] or call 480-447-6412

“Ashana embodies shakti, the feminine aspect of the divine, during her incredible performances. Playing crystal bowls, while singing and dancing, she creates a true initiation in her temple, the concert. Being with her is a one-way ticket to heaven.”

– Barbara Hand Clow: Author of The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind

“Ashana’s music is lyrical, mystical and more a happening than a concert. She sings along with her bowls, rather than playing them, and the combination of voices opens the heart, expands the mind and bewitches the senses. Hers is a stunning voice, a radiant spirit, and a blessed soul. She defies categories: at once chant, new age, congregational, and instrumental. Beautiful, sublime, and powerful. if she is singing near you – Go!”

– Ramdesh Kaur, author, radio host and Kundalini Yoga teacher

Figuring Out Work/Life Balance

How many times have you heard someone say, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”?  Look I get it everyone is trying to build an empire but if you’re not taking the time to enjoy that empire, is it worth it?  At some point you have to take a breather. That’s where the whole work/life balance thing comes in to play.

How to Define Your Personal Style Type

Trying to define or redefine your personal style can be a frustrating task. It happens to us all at some point, whether we are fresh out of college and trying to figure out our new professional style or trying to redefine our  new mid-life (mid-career) style. No matter what point in life we may find ourselves in, it is always good to have a great sense of self.

Summer Shoe Care Tips

It has been hot for a while now and I know we are all pulling out those cute sandals. If your sandals have been packed up in a closet or under a bed during Fall and Winter they may need a little care. Here are a few shoe care tips you can use to keep your shoe investment in tip top shape.

Wardrobe Basics You Should Add to Your Closet This Spring

A wardrobe with a solid foundation should last from season to season. Your wardrobe basics should provide you with several options that you can mix and match, no matter what the season is. The purpose of building your wardrobe basics is to create a functional wardrobe.

When adding new pieces to your wardrobe this Spring, remember to use the 70/30 Rule. Your closet should be 70% classic and functional pieces, 30% trendy and fun pieces. Here are a few basic pieces you should definitely add to your closet, if you haven’t already.

Though any porch will do, really.

Laurey W. Glenn

As someone currently living without a porch, I’m hesitant to condemn a porch of any size—I’d take a Juliet balcony at this point if I could. A porch is a porch, and as any Southerner will attest, it’s not something to be taken for granted. But, for those of you lucky enough to be adding a porch, or maybe just altering your current one, there are certainly a few parameters to be considered.

Most resources will say the minimum for a porch is six feet in depth. This is for good reason, as that allows enough room for you to incorporate chairs, potted plants, and/or other furniture with enough room to move around and walk in front of the furniture. At six feet, porch furniture is possible and you can reasonably enjoy the space. But eight feet is even better, as just two feet can vastly expand your options for furnishing.  Furthermore, the MVP of porch sitting is the porch swing. At, their most popular bench is four feet long. An eight-foot porch depth gives you a solid two feet on either side for walking by or framing it up with some showy containers.  (Though have no fear, small porch sitters! They note they make anywhere from 2- to 7-foot swings.)

WATCH: Our New Favorite Cottage That You Can Have Too

As far as width, that all depends on the location of the porch, your roofline, and the shape and size of your house. Of course, in our dreams, porches wrap alllll the way around and never stop. (With water views on every side, of course!)

Just take it from this 800-square-foot cottage Brandon Ingram built outside of Tallahasee, Florida. It has a sweet little porch front-and-center (complete with a haint blue ceiling) and a screened-in porch tucked away on the backside too.

Two Hackensack Meridian Health Hospitals Recognized as Centers of Excellence for TCAR Stroke Prevention Procedure

Hackensack Meridian Health has two hospitals that have been named 2018 Centers of Excellence by the developer of an advanced stroke prevention procedure. Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune and Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack are the only facilities in New Jersey to earn the distinction from Silk Road Medical for performing the TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) procedure. TCAR is an innovative treatment that dramatically reduces the risk of stroke in patients with blocked carotid arteries, the major blood vessels that deliver blood to the brain. The minimally invasive procedure uses a FDA-approved neuroprotection system that temporarily reverses blood flow in the artery during the procedure to prevent dangerous plaque from traveling to the brain and causing a stroke.

Retired Supreme Court Judge To Oversee ICAC

Victor P Taffa

Retired Supreme Court Judge the Honourable John Sulan QC has been appointed as South Australia’s next Reviewer of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Attorney-General, Vickie Chapman said current Reviewer the Honourable Kevin Duggan QC is resigning next week, to enable him to focus on his independent review of Policing in South Australia.

“ICAC Reviewer, in providing independent oversight of the ICAC and the Office for Public Integrity, is critical for maintaining public confidence in the operations of those agencies. We have sought to move quickly to ensure this important role can be maintained following Mr Duggan’s departure.” Attorney-General Chapman said.

“John Sulan has had a distinguished legal career spanning nearly 5 decades.”

“In that time, he has worked as a prosecutor both locally and overseas; was a Special Investigator into the collapse of the Bond Corporation, as well of course as sitting on our Supreme Court until his retirement in 2016.” Attorney-General Chapman said.

“These skills make him eminently qualified to take on the role of ICAC Reviewer where he will be required to look into the operations of the ICAC and the Office of Public Integrity, by way of regular and comprehensive reporting requirements both to me and Parliament’s Crime and Public Integrity Policy Committee, and also as a result of complaints.”

Attorney-General Chapman thanked Kevin Duggan QC for his considered approach to the role over the past three years as the inaugural ICAC Reviewer.

Mr. Sulan commences his three-year term on April 2.

FIT(ISH): Someone who loves the idea of being fit, but equally loves food

Fitness trainer Mary Ann Zandbergen teaches turbo kick and Piyo classes at Lynds Den Health and Fitness Centre in Bridgewater. The mother of three teenagers says she is in better shape at 45 than she was in her 20s.

A regular at the Lynds Den Health and Fitness Centre, fitness enthusiast Mary Ann Zandbergen believes that what is served for supper is just as important as an energetic workout at the gym.

“It all starts in the kitchen. Paying careful attention to proper nutrition and what a person accomplishes in the gym go hand in hand,” said the 45-year-old married mother of three teenagers.

Zandbergen teaches turbo kick, a choreographed kickboxing exercise, and Piyo, yoga for people who can’t stand still, and who prefer movements a little faster than more conventional forms of yoga.

“The ages of the women in my classes range between high 20s to late 60s. All my ladies are fit. Some have been doing this forever, and all of them don’t want to become a burden on the province’s health-care system,” said Zandbergen, a Bridgewater resident.

Growing up in Chester, Zandbergen was involved in many individual and team sports, including gymnastics, soccer, track, karate and basketball. If a score was involved, she was likely into it.

Zandbergen was once a Level 2 volunteer firefighter in Chester and ran her own fitness studio before closing it last year when she returned to nursing school to refresh and upgrade her skills.

“I was a career nurse before, but I left the profession when I got into fitness training 14 years ago when my youngest son was born. My daughter was three and oldest son was five, so setting my own working schedule was better for my young family at that time,” said Zandbergen.

“I would like to work with the Victorian Order of Nurses and also do something in foot care, an area where there is a growing need on the South Shore, particularly among seniors,” she said.

Zandbergen said the stark reality is people lose muscle mass as they age, so we all need to do everything we can, including regular exercise and proper nutrition, to minimize the impacts.

“We must be able to at least perform basic everyday tasks and navigate stairs without assistance.”

Zandbergen said she enjoys teaching classes and working out at the Lynds Den.

“Teaching at the gym is much better than worrying about all that is involved in running my own business,” she said. “I come to the gym, teach my classes, then go home. It also allows me to focus on my own fitness level. I believe I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been, even during my 20s.”

Regarding my own fitness journey, I hit a stumbling block last month when the realization hit that my workouts were being completed in the wrong order.

Upon arriving at the gym I would immediately hit the treadmill, where I would walk slightly more than five kilometres at various speeds and inclines. Elapsed time would be 55 minutes.

I would then go directly from the treadmill to the pin-loaded weight machines. One day I would work on arms, shoulders and chest, then switch the next day to legs. But I found it somewhat tiring.

Following a conversation with Lynds Den co-owner Mike Lynds, I adjusted the order of my workout. Now I walk just 25 minutes on the treadmill when I arrive at the gym, but I have increased speed and incline. With half the treadmill minutes, my calorie burn is not much less, and I still work up a sweat.

After I complete the rotation on the weight machines, I have the option of going back on the treadmill, or the elliptical, for 10 minutes, followed by a cool-down period, before I head for home.

This seems to work as I am not hitting the weight machines fatigued, and can now do more reps.

During a recent interview, Lynds offered these helpful tips on weight training:

  • Begin with a positive attitude. Stress will negatively affect your goals and performance.
  • Set realistic short- and long-term goals. Anything that produces results takes time, often months.
  • Make a schedule and stick to it. Pack your workout bag the night before, so you’re ready to go.
  • It’s not how long you are in the gym, it’s the quality of your workout. Working in groups provides motivation, but too much socializing steals time and concentration from your workouts.
  • Instead of free weights, begin weight training with pin-loaded machines, which allow you to get the proper movement pattern with minimal risk for injury.
  • Warm up to prevent injury. It gets the blood flowing. If cardio is not your thing, try jumping jacks or light weights with more repetitions. Carry a water bottle with you and stay hydrated.
  • Listen to your body. Increase intensity only when you feel things are getting easier. If you are unable to complete the weight set properly, quit the set. Don’t count reps, go until your form breaks. That’s your body telling you you’re done. Don’t push yourself into the injury-prone zone.

Lynds elaborated on Zandbergen’s take on nutrition, saying this is an essential element to consider seriously during anyone’s journey to improved health and Fitness.

“Proper nutrition is key. Set a meal plan, and write it down. Prepare a nutritious breakfast before you go to bed. When you wake up in the morning, your breakfast is ready to eat, no excuses,” said Lynds.

“Muscle is your body’s furnace, so you have to feed it. More muscle means a bigger furnace, which results in more calories burned. Focus on building muscle first, then work on losing weight.”

Lynds said most people know their shirt and waist sizes, so if your shirt is getting tighter through the shoulders and your pants are feeling a little loose around the waist, that’s a direct result of training.

“Muscle weighs more than fat, so don’t despair if you notice the numbers on the scale are staying the same or increasing slightly,” he said.

Next up for me are exercises to strengthen back muscles, glutes and core. I would love to bid adieu to the unsightly and unhealthy spare tire a somewhat sedentary lifestyle deposited around my middle.

NEXT MONTH: Interviews with two young athletes, and an update on my fitness journey.

Replacement:KIT-10013. The new revision uses a different brand of display and some adjustments were made to accommodate the new part. This page is for reference only.

This is a great kit to learn the basics of soldering. ClockIt is a basic alarm clock with buzzer based on the ever popular ATMega168. If you're just learning how to solder, this kit should take you 15-20 minutes. If you're a weathered pro at soldering, this is a great relaxing build that should take 5-10 minutes.

No programmer required. The ATmega comes with firmware installed!

Open Source Hardware: We like to share. The original engineering files are available for mass hackery.

  • 1 x ClockIt PCB
  • 1 x ATmega168 (pre-programmed)
  • 1 x 4-digit display
  • 1 x buzzer
  • 1 x 10uF cap
  • 1 x 0.1uF cap
  • 2 x 22pF caps
  • 1 x 10k resistor
  • 1 x 16MHz crystal
  • 1 x barrel jack
  • 1 x mini power switch
  • 3 x push button reset switches
  • 2 x Screws
  • 2 x Plastic Standoffs
  • 1 x 5V wall wart
  • Time (AM/PM)
  • Alarm (On/Off)
  • Snooze (alarm resumes after a 9 minute snooze)

Looking for answers to technical questions?

We welcome your comments and suggestions below. However, if you are looking for solutions to technical questions please see our Technical Assistance page.

  • I'm no electrical engineer so this will appear as a rather dumb question here but how tough would it be to replace the buzzer with a light? I'm thinking this would be good to put in the kids room (ages 2 & 4) and then teach them that they can't get out of bed until the light comes on. (In case you don't know kids sometimes get up at 4 or 5 AM and want to play.) The light would have to stay on for about an hour or so. Running it off of a 9 volt or 2 AA's would be better as well since you don't really want too many things plugged in in a room like that. Make it and you will sell a million of them!

    • If you teach your kids that, be sure to add "unless there's a fire"
      Instead of replacing the buzzer, you could just have the display flash or make a funky animation that is displayed instead of the time.

    • You -could- go one step further, and have the clock unlock the door only after the alarm goes off.
      I am kidding, of course... >:-)

    • Really great idea! I would love to see that mod if you get the chance to try it.
      All the battery operated clocks I've seen use an LCD display for lower power consumption (passive black and gray LCD like on a sports watch). Because of the bright LED display, the ClockIt uses enough power that it would kill the batteries within a few days.

  • Great idea and price! The clock idea leaves the "student" with something they can use. The basic platform could probably be re-purposed to something else useful when they want to practice programing. It even comes with a 5V wall wart!

  • How do you set the time on this clockit kit?

    thank you! marC:)

    • Oh, and of course, make sure this is the kit you're asking about :) Although the interface doesn't seem to have changed, this particular iteration was replaced... and its replacement was also replaced. At the current time of writing, the ClocKit is: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10930

    • It depends on the firmware. Stock firmware (if I'm reading it right):

      • time set mode: hold UP and DOWN for 2 seconds.
      • alarm set mode: hold SNOOZE for 2 seconds
      • while in set modes, press UP/DOWN to increase/decrease the time. Hold UP/DOWN to increase/decrease faster (starts slow, increases as you hold the button down).

  • But how is it controlled? wouldn't the 328 not have enough pins to individually control each LED? I realize not all would ever need to be lit up, but it needs to be controlled for 18:88 - that's a total of 26 leds! Is it a serial 4 digit display?

    • They multiplex the wires.
      If you want to display 12:34
      first you send a "1" to the display. Every digit is now a "1", but if you only light the first one, you only see one 1. Then you turn the first digit off, and send a 2, light up the second digit, then turn the second digit off and so on. This happens really fast so you eye sees all four digits lit at once but in reality it's only one at a time. Have a look at the schematic. You have four wires for the digits, and 7 wires for the segments. 28 led's with only 11 wires.

  • Fun little kit! Keeps time pretty much spot on, and was easy enough to put together. That said, I did have a few issues with the instructions though.
    1) The polarity for the electrolytic capacitor wasn't printed on the board I received. I was able to figure it out (it hasn't blown up yet!) by looking at the picture in the instructions and tracing the circuit, but for a beginning kit you may want to make sure this is clearly marked.
    2) Same issue as above with the buzzer. Silk screen doesn't have polarity marking. I figured it wouldn't matter much for the speaker, but just a heads up.
    All-in-all, a really nice and quick-to-build kit. Now, I'm off to build a cool enclosure.

  • Umm, I'm pretty sure I was given a blank 328, I'll try and see whats on it, but it was either not programmed or dead!

  • can someone explain me how to hit the clock?

  • So I built this kit as my first foray in to soldering. I am pretty sure I got everything right, except for the fact that I did evil things to the 10uF cap. I went to my neighborhood Radio Shack to pick up a replacement, but realized I really didn't know what exactly I should get. I was hoping for a point in the right direction on what part I should look for.

    • Standard 10uF @ 16v+ radial electrolytic capacitor. Its just a decoupling capacitor so it will function without it. It wont be happy though, and might act out in anger...

  • Here is a neat example for enclosures:
    The box itself is made by "@ the Office" which is a Walmart brand of stationary and office supplies. I can't seem to find these on the web anywhere, but should be in your local Wally-World. The clock is a near perfect fit. I had to shave roughly .125'' on either side of the PCB, but other than that it couldn't have been planned better. With a Dremel by your side it's too easy. It is a bit on the light side so I counter weighted the bottom with BB's and a heavy dose of hot glue. The back of the box is magnetic so you could toss in a L4931CZ50-AP in conjunction with a 10uF and a trusty 9v to create an alarm clock for your mini-fridge door....

  • The clock kit is a fantastic deal. It keeps accurate time. I made a bracket and mounted it vertically on a small wooden base.

  • We've just assembled our first ClockIt and have some issues with the design & instructions.
    The major issue: the ClockIt display flickers noticeably at somewhere between 20 and 60 Hz. I hope this could be fixed in software.
    Hardware & instructions issues:
    We couldn't find the gold '-' sign on any capacitors; our kit came with a grey '-' sign. The instructions didn't make it very clear that each part should be soldered down in the order given. It also would have been easier to trim the legs on the ATmega168 before soldering it down. Actually, it was awkward that the barrel jack sits atop the ATmega168's pins. The board is much prettier on the top than on the bottom.
    Lastly, we had trouble keeping the display flush with the board. Perhaps it should be soldered down second rather than 10th?

  • is this compatible with COM-09481? The yellow leds look cool, but can the blue led display work with this?

    • wrxstiv8:

      is this compatible with COM-09481?

      Not sure if you contacted tech support and got a reply already (comment almost 3 months old), but the simple answer would seem to be "no".
      The YSD-439AxxX-35 series (COM-09480 .. COM-09483) are Common Anode. The LTC-4727JS that appears to be used in the ClockIt as shown in the pictures is Common Cathode.
      Presuming this hasn't changed -but- you can find a way to flip the CC logic to CA logic, then the two components are actually very similar. The only difference seems to be in how L1 and L2 (the colon), and L3 (the top dot) are handled.
      In the LTC, L1 and L2 are individually adressable (pin 14 and pin 16 respectively), while in the YSD they are hardwired in parallel (to pin 12, which doesn't exist on the LTC).
      L1 and L2 being separate on the LTC is a non-issue with the default firmware as they blink together anyway, so pin 12 from the YSD could be wired to either pad 14 or pad 16.
      In the LTC, L3 shares its common cathode with L1 and L2 (on pin 4) and anode shared with 'segment C' (pin 13), while in the YSD L3 it is hooked up to a separate anode (pin 10 - doesn't exist on LTC) and cathode (pin 9 - exists but isn't wired on LTC).
      This is also easily fixed - pin 10 would get wired to pad 4, and pin 9 would get wired to pad 13.
      Pins 10 and 12 would also have to get bent inward for this, or you'd have to drill some holes into the ClockIt PCB to facilitate them.
      ( Just to re-iterate: wiring pin X to pad Y does presume you have the CC vs CA issue resolved )
      Even with all that, though, you'd probably end up disappointed with the brightness of the display, if it lights up at all; the Vf of the 'blue' (cyan) YSD is 3.4V, while the LTC is 2.05V (similar to the 2.1V used by the red, yellow and 'kelly green' (lime) YSDs. So you'd have to adjust the board/firmware for that as well.
      All in all, presuming it's still using the LiteOn LTC part, you'd be better off finding replacements from LiteOn (though I only see red and yellow), or other manufacturers that use CC (typically missing LD3, but for the purposes of the default ClockIt, you could use another decimal point).
      Or go crazy and pick up individual blue 7-seg displays and a piece of protoboard and wire them up to some header pins, matching the LTC-4727JS. Given these displays are typically mounted behind a filter plexi window, you wouldn't even typically notice.
      Tip: turn the first and third digits up-side-down. This puts a decimal point in the top-left corner to use as an AM/PM indicator, two decimal points 'above each other' for the colon (a bit widely spaced vertically, of course), and leaves one decimal point in the bottom-right corner for alarm on/off indication, without needing to look specifically for left-hand/both-hand decimal point parts. I actually prefer this layout and is how I'll setting mine up as I want bigger digits that I can mount vertically anyway.

    • Please direct technical questions to techsupport@sparkfun.com.

  • Hmmm, mine included 1 pushbutton and 3 slide switches....

  • My guess is that with a 28 pin ZIF socket there would be nothing stopping you from putting an Arduino bootloaded ATMega168 in the place of this pre-programmed chip. Just get 2 ZIFs and put on on the Arduino for programming purposes, then slap it in this thing.

  • Does the programmed ATMega have the Arduino bootloader on it as well as the clock code? or is a programmer completely necessary?

  • It would be a lot easier to mount this if the Display were on one side of the board and the rest of the components on the other side. Also, real pushbuttons, either panel mount or PCB mound would be better.
    I never have understood why most clock kits are like this. All the components on the same side of the board :-(

  • Is this board designed to fit in the Clear SparkFun project case (Stock No. WIG-08632)?

  • I've been trying to disect the source code of this project. (You know...learning and stuff...) The pin connections on the schematic don't seem to match the pin selections in the source code...Either that or I'm confused... no, no, it must be the schematic.
    Any thoughts there?

  • This would be an amazingly handy device if it had perhaps 10 alarms. It could be used around the house for kid prompting(wake,breakfast,bustop)or in schools (end of class, end of lunch), who knows where else.

    • I'm actually using this kit as the basis for a cleanup bell for the technology lab at my school. What I'm planning to do is hook up a relay instead of a buzzer, and a siren will be hooked up to the relay. The code will need to be changed to create multiple alarm times, and also to simply apply a digital high to one of the buzzer pins and a low to the other, instead of an analog write.

  • This could be a cheaper alternative for me to replicate your huge wall-mounted clock. With the code being open source, it would probably be possible to have the clock set from a GPS too :)

  • Amazing! But, you mentioned that it's possible to hook up a LCD to it. Can you go into detail how to do so?

  • Any chance of a fitted enclosure being offered?

  • The picture of the assembled device seems to have a nice mounting point for programming the chip, but in the parts list and in the picture of all the parts I do not see that part. In the schematic I believe this is the AVR_PRG part.
    This looks like a nice kit and all, but won't we need something to connect to the AVR to program it? Perhaps you should mention that or have a link to the things you will need to actually program the chip.

    • Though you'd still need a programmer if you wanted to reprogram the Mega, I don't generally solder headers onto my projects anyway. Instead, I keep the header plugged into my programmer. Slide the other end of the pins into the holes on the board where you wouldhave* soldered the header, torque it a little to one side, and you're good to program.
      ... Hopefully somebody will correct me if that doesn't carry over to this board, which seems to be a little more whitewashed than I'm used to.

      • You're correct, you can program the device using the method you've described. In fact, that's how we program many of our boards in-house.

    • The ATmega comes pre-programmed. You just have to solder the clock together, plug it in, and it works!
      I apologize - the pictures are a bit off. We do not include the ISP 6 pin header. But you will not need a programmer.
      You are correct - if you want to change the code, you will need to solder in a header and connect a programmer.

Okay, Now It’s All Clear…

Move over, Glenn Beck. The amusingly misnamed Accuracy in Media, a far-right organization that generally spends its time defaming gay people and all things on the political left, yesterday published an exhaustive, and exhausting, report that purports to unmask a Latino rights organization. And it makes the former Fox News host’s famous blackboard look downright simple.

The new “report” was written by James Simpson, identified as a former Office of Management and Budget analyst who also freelances for far-right publications like FrontPage Magazine and Soldier of Fortune. It purports to show that “the company associated with Gustavo Torres and CASA de Maryland comprises a who’s who of the radical left.” CASA, it says, is “of a piece with all other American organizations of the far, far Left.”

If you want to actually read it, you’ll have to wade through about 18 pages of mind-numbing accusations, insults and a blizzard of alleged links to people and organizations that Simpson and Accuracy in Media believe are scary indeed. We took the easy way out, just studying a spectacular spaghetti bowl of links and ties that Simpson diagrammed to make his point. It’s all there, the connections between George Soros and the Communist Party USA and the AFL-CIO and ACORN and the Obama Administration and… well, you get the picture.

And in the unlikely event that you still haven’t been fully illuminated on the threat posed by CASA, Simpson has some soothing words for you. In the next few weeks, he says, he’ll be releasing even more explosive materials “that could not be included due to space constraints.”

Apparently, some things are too much even for Accuracy in Media.
