I never got around to upgrading the font management tool at work past version 3. Only 4 and 5 are eligible for 50% off upgrade to version 6. But I bought 3 soon before 4 came out and it turns out I had a free version 4 license which is valid to upgrade to 6 for $60 instead of buying full version at $120. w00t!
We have created a support spinning bowl that has combined the efficiency of a ceramic surface with the stability of a wide beautiful wooden base. Our ceramic bowl measures 1 3/4 inches in diameter, and the gorgeous koa wood base is 2 3/4 inches in diameter. Cork has been added to the bottom of this bowl to keep the wood from scratching other hard surfaces.
We are making the ceramic inserts for our support spinning bowls in a variety of glazes, and no two pieces ever come out of the kiln the same. The glaze on this insert is called "Blue Grotto".
The LEGO Foundation and UNICEF support conflict-affected children in Iraq through play
Baghdad, 16 December 2015 – UNICEF Iraq received a contribution from the LEGO Foundation that will help give around 50,000 children in Iraq a chance to play and learn. The organizations welcomed the contribution of 4,800 boxes containing LEGO play materials. The donation is part of the three-year global partnership between UNICEF and the LEGO Foundation signed in early 2015. Through the partnership, the two organizations promote quality early learning through play for children around the world. While play helps children address stress, it also performs a critical role in the development of the intellectual, emotional, social and creative skills needed to build the foundation for human development and lifelong learning.
Iraq has seen decades of conflict. Currently, nearly 3 million children have had their education disrupted, and nearly 1 million are internally displaced. Furthermore, over 100,000 Syrian children have taken refuge in Iraq.
Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq (SRSG), Mr. Ján Kubiš, reaffirmed the United Nations’ commitment to children. “Many Iraqi children bear emotional scars from the violence around them, but it is those rendered homeless by conflict who suffer the heaviest consequences. Millions of children, in camps for displaced people and refugees as well as those in host communities have limited or no access to education or recreational activities. It is with their predicament in mind that UNAMI and UNICEF called on LEGO for assistance to extend children affected by the crisis in Iraq with a combination of study and play in the form of creative toys, which might be the first for many of them since they lost their homes and possessions. The donation from LEGO Foundation should be a reminder to Iraqi politicians of the responsibility they share for the future generations, who deserve to live a life of peace and normalcy.”
Generations of children in Iraq have grown up in the midst of conflict, and have witnessed unimaginable acts of extreme violence and have been displaced from their homes and communities. Some children have been displaced multiple times as conflict reaches their new homes. “The opportunity given by the LEGO Foundation should also be used to call for more support to humanitarian programmes, particularly child protection,” Kubiš added.
Representing UNAMI at the delivery ceremony in Baghdad, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq, Gyorgy Busztin appealed to the Iraqi politicians to think about the children of Iraq as they “are the hardest hit by violence and lack of stability. Their fate needs to be the responsibility of all decision makers. We want for them a happy future, away from violence, conflict and displacement in a country that provides equal rights to all its men, women and children. We want national reconciliation for Iraq that will give back to the children of Iraq what they were deprived of, play, learning and happiness, in other words a full childhood. The LEGO toys will teach them to build so that in the future they will be able to reconstruct their villages and towns ruined by terrorism. They will prove that building is superior to destruction” added DSRSG Busztin.
“The negative impact of this crisis on children cannot be over-emphasized,” said Peter Hawkins, UNICEF Representative in Iraq. “Continuing violence has cheated millions of children of their fundamental rights to safety, education and play. Many children have come into this world and grown up knowing only displacement and conflict. The donation from the LEGO Foundation is one positive step forward, allowing some of the most disadvantaged children to play and learn in a fun and safe environment and become the next generation to build a better future for Iraq.”
“Play is the most effective and inspiring way for children to acquire the skills needed to create new possibilities and meet the many challenges of the future. In the midst of violence and instability, playing and education can help to alleviate trauma for conflict-affected children,” said Mirjam Schöning, Global Head of Programmes and Partnerships at the LEGO Foundation. “Through play, children can address stress and develop physical, intellectual and social skills, as well as creativity. Together with UNICEF, we work to put a stake in the ground for children and their development through quality play-based learning.”
The LEGO play materials will be distributed to 538 schools, 46 community centres and 8 child-friendly spaces across Iraq, giving over 50,000 children access to learning activities. The LEGO Foundation and UNICEF will provide training to build the capacity of teachers, facilitators and community members who will then guide children through LEGO activities as part of the initiative.

Greenpeace spear-headed a protest supported by many local & national enviromental organisations to halt the transformation of an old coal reactor into a biomass reactor.
Burning biomass (wood pellets) still remains a major source of pollution, adds to the heating of the earth with the resulting climate change and implicates the cutting down of forests in low-cost countries in order to produce electricity. The province of Limburg deserves better after all the investments already made into renewable energy sources.
On top of that the right-wing neo-liberal government already declared they will charge all transition costs to us tax-payers and then let the company who owns the reactor get away with all the profits (evidently in exchange for a seat in the board of directors for some senior politicians.)
Limburg verdient beter.
Limburg deserves better.

The Tobacco Institute of Southern Africa (TISA) has published a leaflet (as part
of a larger mixed media campaign) to inform the South African public about
counterfeit cigarettes - and in the process they have inadvertently provided
counterfeiters with a check list of what to include in their production
techniques to prevent detection.
Just as in other countries, the increasing problem of counterfeit cigarettes
in South Africa is due to the steadily rising amounts of government levied
taxes on tobacco products.
Whilst almost every single form of cigarette advertising is banned in South
Africa, TISA wants you to buy genuine cigarettes so that the government can
build more clinics... (To treat more smoking related diseases?)
Support: Gus G. Very classic 80s style metal guitar which was rather good. The singer was excellent and the song where the singer played an acoustic guitar was really a cut above the rest. Incredible guitar solos but I found the vocals kept them in check so they didn't get too repetitive. One interesting point was that the bass player and drummer were the same for Gus G and Marty Friedman. I'm not sure who borrowed from whom but it's a nice idea of how to get more music with fewer people on the road.
The CarpalMate® Carpal Tunnel wrist support is lightweight and designed to maintain the wrist in a neutral position while allowing full finger dexterity. It is designed to provide support for the wrist when performing tasks such as typing, data entry, light assembly or any repetitive tasks.
While the UN inter-agency team worked with the authorities on assessing what is needed to rebuild better, local residents provided a ray of hope that, along with international support, solidarity and unity will help the marketplace return to its central role in the city.

Protect Mother Earth. End Climate Capitalism. Support Community Solutions.
Mass Action at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco on September 13, 2018.
The twin crises of capitalism and climate change are destroying the planet, burning our homes, and flooding our communities. We are witnessing unprecedented harm, from the hurricanes that ravaged Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and the Gulf Coast, to wildfires destroying communities along the west coast. At the same time, California passed climate laws (AB 398) that subsidize, and allow the world’s largest corporations to continue destroying our climate and communities with pollution and poverty
In September, Governor Jerry Brown convened the Global Climate Action Summit (GCAS) in San Francisco to promote his “real climate leadership” credentials on a global stage. But Jerry Brown’s promotion of carbon trading markets and other perverse subsidies to oil, gas and other polluting corporations only perpetuates climate change, and decimates Indigenous communities and Native nations, communities of color and other working class peoples throughout California and around the world.
Such incentives for “climate capitalism” will turn frontline communities into sacrifice zones for decades to come, and despite Brown’s attempts to prove he is different from Trump and the dark forces of climate denial, his “climate leadership” promotes the same corporate agenda – aimed at expanding the dig, burn, drive, dump industries destroying our communities and the air, land and water we depend on.
On September 13th, we demanded that elected leaders stand with our communities on the streets, and not with the climate profiteers at the GCAS.
