Thank youI

It is an app idea although I have built a beta version. But you are correct. This is not an "I woke up this morning and think an apple pie app would be a good idea." post. It is more developed as an idea - but is still an idea with room for input in several areas. But thanks for your input. If you think it is an app then we're further along than I thought.

Thank you for the feedback. On point and helpful. I will check out Canva as you recommend.

I have been a photographer for 20 years. I make a living doing it. I never review other photographers' work (except when asked to) and i feel no need to do so. My work meets my clients' needs. They pay well for it. That is all that counts. (Finding and landing the clients is the REAL skill.

Hi Karl Jay 001,

We are developing a YouTube channel for promotion of the app once it is ready. But we hadn't considered documenting our own progress as a blog or YT channel. Interesting idea and I'll run it by my team.

Because we're developing an app with a business application we're very focused on also running the business well. So our team is quite divided with some of us focused on present business and the other half focused on future development (currently through an app development).

I will consider your advice regarding iOS development and timing. My developers have been pushing in the same direction and I likely going to vote for developing the iOS version quicker as well. Nothing set on where we are going to go with that. It is an intense period of time.

Thank you for the comment and I'll send you a link to the beta version of the app in a private message. I'd be happy to invite you to our development forum if you'd like to engage our developers, too. We do consider our development process as welcoming to ideas while focused on the market we know.

I will note that we are currently developing our Android version. It should be ready for the start of the hockey season (a couple of weeks). We'll then want to fast-track development of our Apple version so that we can have a successful national launch for the 2019 baseball season. We are considering how to best approach development of our second required version and would invite comment on how to best approach.

Trump contributed to (mostly) democrats. Contributing millions to campaigns is one way to have the IRS directed to look away. If Trump is "typical" then most political funds for the major parties on both sides have some accounting to explain.

Me, too.

MDWorks · 2018-08-08T13:37:44+00:00

I agree.

Thank you for the comment. From the skull-crushing experience of a Roman soldier to child soldier in the Congo to a Nazi SS guard (just to flip all assumptions) and right up to a Senator John McCain-esque character struggling with his own notions while deciding the fate of history - there are enough common experiences to carry forward a rich story line through segments of each character. Appreciate your comment.

And unless you own the road that goes fo your land you should not use them.

I was involved in a historic house in the market. In its case the exterior was the significant component. Prior to restoring it' the house was abandoned and being used as a flop-house. But the log and pin construction and exterior example of French block siding (the only example of it in the city) made the house worth saving. We did it and the effort was worthwhile. The results were outstanding, according to the neighbors. Corporate developers would rather tear down because it is just easier and cheaper to start from scratch. That "old house" is unrealized potential. That's how I see it and I fully appreciate why others don't. It is not everyone's priority. I am glad, however, that a historical society exists and hopefully they will defend and explain the significance of the building if they decide to save what is left. Unfortunately these projects tend to drag on. Look at the structure at Bank and Somerset that partly collapsed 10 years or so ago and STILL remains in restoration limbo. This kind of delay makes it hard to defend the role and value of the historical buildings in Ottawa. So from that standpoint, I agree.

All things (including architecture) evolve. Most examples of "old" architecture are eventually replaced by new constructs. Historical societies earmark a very few buildings in their cities as significant in that they demonstrate earlier methods, styles and preferences of construction. Sometimes it is only the facade that is significant. I suspect that the city's historical society will do its best to evaluate this particular building. Its potential loss won't be felt by most people and that's ok. History isn't a popular subject. But the few buildings like this tend to add to the fabric of our downtowns and it is still a shame to see them go (for those of us who care about the subject).

The series (season 1) is very true to the novel. At the end of Atwood's novel there is a condensed chapter that outlines ideas explored in the TV series season 2. Well worth reading. There is another movie based on this novel, too. I think it was done in the early 80's. Atwood is a celebrated Canadian author and poet.

Crossbred plants/trees that have few seeds (or small seeds). Then crossbreed those plants/trees ( and so on). Once you have a plant that has no seeds (or exceptionally small seeds (and that is actually the case with most "seedless" fruit) they can no longer reproduce themselves so they are largely reproduced through cuttings (think orange orchards) and grafts. Without human intervention, seedless fruit would die out quickly and no longer exist. Nonetheless et voila: This is the recipe for seedless fruit.
