And training wages are decided as a group and in accordance with Oregon Labor recommendations. And because there are strict wage restrictions on persons receiving state or county benefits, training wages can result in diminished benefits. Each trainee does have an Individual Service Plan. (I also need to point out that each regions’ Goodwills are run completely separately, and the trainee whose family was upset was from a different region.) Also, GICW pays their job training participants. ![]() So many different backgrounds, yet all having Goodwill’s employment career enhancement services in common.Īll the while, we’re poking our noses into their English as a second language (ESL) classrooms, the computer programming school, meeting co-workers and clients who all greet Dale by name and have a smile to share. Goodwill is proud that their entire mission is supported through their retail stores, and receives not a single penny in government funding.īefore I could ask about the controversy surrounding employees being paid less than minimum wage, I was given the full story and told that not one employee of GICW is paid less than minimum wage. From a woman whose traumatic brain injury left her with profound short term memory issues, to a young mother with a history of substance abuse, to developmentally disabled individuals, Dale shared their moving histories. (Goodwill does extensive outreach to homeless shelters, prisons and domestic violence shelters to locate people who would benefit from their programs.) I madly scribbled notes trying (and failing) to keep track of all of the inspirational stories. Dale knew the detailed back story of each and every single one of them. (What? This was here the whole time?!) There’s a long bright hallway with offices and classrooms, and the entire length is dotted with framed photos of Goodwill employees and clients. I met up with Dale Emanuel, the public relations manager of all things Goodwill and instead of going into the retail space, we walked into a different entrance which was kind of a through-the-wardrobe Narnian experience for me. “To provide vocational opportunities to people with barriers to employment.”Īnd because the Goodwill thrift shops are so very successful and profitable, they’re able to do an amazing amount of outreach throughout the community.īut I’m getting ahead of myself here. A way to raise money to support their mission, which is: But of course, the shops are just a means to an end. When I, the thrift store geek frugal queen of Portland think of Goodwill, it’s all about the thrift shops. Why yes, I would enjoy a behind the scenes tour of Goodwill. So when I got an e-mail from the PR department, asking if I would like a behind the scenes tour of the Goodwill of my choice, there was no hesitation. Clean, organized and filled to the brim with treasures for the eagle-eyed customer. Portland cultivates its hipster reputation with its food carts, bicycle culture and Portlandia vibe, but I vote that it’s our Goodwill thrift shops that put us on the map.īecause the Goodwill Industries of The Columbia Willamette (GICW) know what they’re doing. I swear, It’s purely physical!) I hear from readers across the country about how their Goodwills aren’t as good as our Goodwills, and I admit it, I get a little smug.

Most modern image editing tools are able to read both. Own formats, both of which are called BMP. There are actually several BMP formats (BitMaP). Vector Magic recommends using the PNG format when storing logos as bitmaps. This format is widely supported by web browsers and image viewers/editors. The best of the lossless image formats is called PNG (Portable Network Graphics). They are more suitable for things like logos. These store an exact pixel-by-pixel representation of the image, but require more space. We do not recommend using JPEG files for rasterized vector art, as the compression artifacts substantially degrade the quality of the image near edges. It has excellent compression characteristics and has the nice feature that the user may specify what level of compression they desire, trading off fidelity for file size. One of the most widely-used image formats. They are also commonly used on the web to save bandwidth. They are best suited to photographs and other images where perfect accuracy is not important. These have smaller file sizes but do not store a perfect copy of the image. Some of the most common are: JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and TIFF.īroadly speaking, they fall into two categories: Lossy formats There is a large number of different bitmap formats. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are a few different criteria that you can use to help you judge the quality of any range of watercolor paints. I’m also focusing on paints which are easily available and most appreciated by other artists. If you’re looking for good watercolors, then you too should only consider companies that offer artist grade paints.Īrtist quality paints have a better concentration of pigments, they also have better handling characteristics and they will last longer. A lot of brands of watercolors are available in “students” or “academic” grades as well as professional artists grade. Also, good quality watercolor paint is expensive! It’s no fun buying expensive stuff only to regret it later.įor the purposes of this comparison I’m only considering “artists’ quality” paint. It’s important to choose your paints carefully, and a little background information about the different brands available can be useful. ![]() If you want to know more about how to judge good watercolor paint by yourself, keep reading! Why should you care which brand to buy? I’m afraid my recommendation isn’t very original, since you’ll find a lot of other artists love these brands too! Then I discovered the beautiful pigments and rich creamy texture of M Graham paints – these are made with honey! My first watercolor paints were Winsor & Newton, which I still enjoy – probably because I have an emotional attachment to my first paints! When I first saw Daniel Smith’s range of watercolors I thought “wow look at all those colors” – and then “oh no, now I have to make a choice” ! There’s a huge range of wonderful transparent colors which often have interesting granulated textures. If you were to ask me what brand of watercolor paint I recommend, and you just wanted some quick advice, these are the manufacturers I would tell you to look at. Last time I looked, I counted over 50 different manufacturers!īut it’s worth taking a little time to consider the paint you’re going to use, because it has a big effect on your success as a watercolorist. I have some favorites, which I’ll explain below, and if you ask a handful of watercolor artists what’s their favorite brand, they will probably all give a different answer!įinding the best brand of watercolor paint to suit your needs isn’t easy. Also, choosing the best watercolor paint is ultimately a personal choice. So there are probably gaps in the following article. Just to be clear, I haven’t researched ALL the brands of watercolor paint available. So I did a lot of research! And below I’m sharing the results of what I found. Choosing the right supplies is a big deal – especially when you’re a beginner. I was in the same predicament when I started watercolor painting. It offers a spectrum of 40 colours that are great value for money.There’s a huge choice of watercolors on the market and you haven’t got a clue which are good and which are a waste of time. ![]() The Cotman Water Colour range is popular for beginners.

A two-thirds vote of those present would be required to convict. Greg Abbott has since appointed former Texas Secretary of State John Scott as a temporary replacement, while Paxton awaits his September 5 impeachment trial.ĭuring the Senate impeachment trial, the lieutenant governor will function as the judge and the senators will serve as jurors. Paxton’s attorneys said at the outset of the motion that the state House and its counsel “promised the public that the evidence against the Attorney General is ‘clear, compelling and decisive’ and ‘ten times worse than what has been public.’”īut, they argued, “now that the House Managers have been forced by this Court to turn over their evidence through document production, it is clear that the evidence the House Managers have gathered is 100 times less compelling that what has been proclaimed.” “The allegations making up the Articles contain unsupported, vague, and irrelevant assertions of non-impeachable conduct,” the motion to exclude evidence stated, adding that the articles “are not based on any alleged conduct that occurred after the election of November 2022, or after began his third term in January 2023.” In a second motion filed Monday, Paxton’s team also asked that evidence of “any alleged conduct” that occurred prior to January 2023 when Paxton began his third term in office be excluded from the state Senate’s trial. Under the Texas Constitution, Paxton is suspended from office while the matter is pending but would be reinstated if acquitted by the Senate.ĬNN has reached out to the Texas Senate about the filings. ![]() The move comes after the Texas House of Representatives impeached Paxton in May for alleged misconduct, including allegations that he used his office to favor the interests of a prominent donor. In a filing to the state Senate’s impeachment court on Monday, Paxton’s attorneys sought to dismiss 19 of the 20 articles of impeachment, citing a rule known as “prior-term doctrine.” The rule, they argued, would prevent an official from being impeached over alleged conduct that precedes their most recent election. Attorneys for suspended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton have asked that the majority of the articles of impeachment brought against him be dismissed, arguing he can’t be tried for alleged actions that took place before his current term. ![]() ![]() ![]() I hesitate to say much at all about what the puzzles entail, because so much of this game is about that initial novelty. The designers anticipate what you will do and what you will try, and their goal is to surprise and delight you with some wild optical illusions. Seriously though, most of the puzzles feel like being called up on stage from the audience of a magic show. When a puzzle is solved in Superliminal, it often feels like a magic trick. Superliminal doesn’t make you feel unintelligent, but the give and take between the player and the game is completely different. “Every time I solved a puzzle I felt like a genius,” was a common talking point. It was praised for how it empowered the player. In Portal, solving a puzzle felt like gears clicking into place. Moving chess pieces onto tiles one at a time, make your way across the board and remember to bring the pieces with you so you don’t run the risk of falling through the board.Superliminal is a Portal-esque puzzle game that completely reverses that game’s fundamental conceit. Be careful here - if you try to walk on a tile without a chess piece on it, you will fall through it into the unknown. This will then allow you to walk on that tile. Once on the chessboard, you must place a chess piece on one of the tiles. Head through the next room till you reach a surrealist looking, almost heavenly-white environment. Once you find yourself in a room of colourful pillars, walk straight through the white wall where you will then find another door to go through. The black stairs in this strange world are real this time, so walk up them and follow the black path. Once you are in the next area, find the stairs and walk through them to reach an inverted realm. You will soon find a large switch that needs to be turned off. Next, walk away and towards the island you will see - it has an orange tower. Jump onto the window and continue through the doorway. Place the window next to the door so that it is finally within your reach. The window you just familiarised yourself with is actually a block. Related: Superliminal Review: Perception InceptionĮventually, you will find a door that is too high to initially reach. Then, go towards the window which will take you to another corridor similar to the one you have just been in. Enter it and roam the corridor until you find yourself in a white room. As you continue, you will soon find an ‘exit’ sign that points toward another door. Believe it or not, this shadow is a doorway - enter it. Seek out a cabinet that is not near a wall, but instead casting a shadow on the wall. Once in the white corridor beyond the door, continue straight. ![]() Once nearby, brave the rain until you reach the next doorway. Carry on through the room until you find another doorway in a faraway fog. The doorway will lead you to the Reception room. This will reveal yet another doorway you can go through. At this point, you can pick up a sizable black board and move it out of the way. After this, head into the black abyss in the floor, then the white abyss, then another black abyss again. Continue to walk through the doorway until you reach another door that has a white frame. If you wait a small while, a tower will appear that you can then approach and enter. ![]() ![]() ![]() Grenier, Head of Creative, Thinkwell, A TAIT Company (Montréal) Harry Julmice, Conscious CEO, Never Was Average (Montréal) Joe Killian, Founder of Central Park SummerStage / Founder and President, Killian & Co.

It took more than an hour for Parashkou to appear at the airport, reportedly with a small child in tow.Ĭypriot officials, announcing that the letter had been translated and handed to her, said Parashkou’s wish was to participate in negotiations between Mustafa and the police. In addition to seeing his erstwhile wife, Mustafa was also now demanding that female prisoners be released in Egypt. The British Foreign Office later said it was offering assistance to four British nationals. The hostages included Britons, Americans, Italians, Dutch, French and Belgians. Seven crew members and at least five foreign nationals were still being held by the man, supposedly wearing an explosive vest. In Larnaca counterterrorism officials, now several hours into the siege, were far from calm. Mustafa was eventually identified when Samaha’s enraged wife contacted the Egyptian media to say her husband was a passenger on his way to Cairo to change flights and was “certainly not the hijacker”. The plot thickened when Egyptian authorities initially identified the hijacker as Ibrahim Samaha, describing him as a university professor en route to a conference at the University of Atlanta. ![]() ![]() Terrorists are crazy but they aren’t stupid.

Addressing reporters at a joint press conference given with Martin Schulz, the European parliament president, the Cypriot leader ruled out terror as a motive. Suddenly the hijacking appeared to have a motive, one that took officials by surprise. Poking his head through the plane’s door the bespectacled hijacker, thought to be in his fifties, threw a four-page letter written in Arabic on to the tarmac and asked that it be delivered to his former wife, a Cypriot woman living in the village of Oroklini. With the airport under a state of emergency, the Cypriot president, Nikos Anastasiades, called his Egyptian counterpart, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, for urgent talks.īut then came a more unusual demand. Very soon, the lines between Nicosia and Cairo began to crackle. Mustafa wanted the heavy police presence around the plane to be removed.
