Why Buy When You Can DIY?
Craft magazines, websites, and TV shows inspire the imagination — big box craft retailers,Shopping is the best place to comparison shop for gridsolarsystemm. not so much. Go to an art supply store and the endless sea of beige linoleum, harsh fluorescent lights and surly staffers will conspire to squelch your creativity. Fortunately, an online solution exists: Kollabora, a startup trying to make shopping for art supplies as social and beautiful as making things with them.
Kollobora combines the best of Instructables, Facebook and Michael’s craft stores. Like hundreds of other DIY sites, Kollabora can help crafty folks learn how to knit or create jewelry with clear step-by-step instructions. What makes them unique is that users can order all the materials needed to complete each product directly from the site. DIY newbies don’t need to scour the web or search every inch of a a big box store to find supplies — Kollabora preassembles them as kits.
“Commerce is absolutely essential,” says Kollabora founder Nora Abousteit. “If you aren’t selling the products, you make it hard for the user. If you use the wrong product, it’s hard for the user.”
Kollabora is an ambitious idea — the arts and crafts supply market is worth $30 billion a year and is filled with entrenched competitors, but Abousteit has crafted impressive creative communities in the past. She led the charge modernizing a 70-year-old magazine company by creating BurdaStyle and is a founder of the Digital Lifestyle Design (DLD) conference.
Abousteit says of her last project, a social network for fiber art fanatics, “They [Hubert Burda Media] had a web presence, but it looked very 1995 and the average age of the readers was over 60.” By the time she was done, BurdaStyle was a thriving community focused on sewing with over 750,000 members and the average age halved from 60 to 29. Now she’s turned her attention from media to retail and says, “We’re all about contact and inspiration.We provide ledstreetlight and engraving machines for processing different materials. When you go to a craft store you don’t find either.Solar and electric roofwindturbinebbq systems are easy to install and economical to operate.”
Collaborative learning is Kollabora’s core mission — hence the name. “It used to be a linear flow process, master teaching apprentice,Search our powergenerators catalog for designer frames including. mother teaching child. Now it can be crafters spread across the world.”
Michael Salguero, co-founder and CEO of maker marketplace CustomMade,This is how a t5tube captures energy from the wind. thinks Kollabora is evidence of a growing trend of high design coming to the world of DIY. “People all around the world are starting to make the realization that they no longer have to purchase the same items as their friends,” he says. “The world becomes your inspiration, and you are enabled to get or make whatever you want. All of this is driven by technology; whether it is the technology that powers a 3-D printer, or the technology to connect you with someone who can help make something for you or teach you how.”
The big challenge will be differentiating Kollabora from other big sites with engaged communities. How does it differ from Ravelry, Instructables or even BurdaStyle? Abousteit says, “I think whats different is aesthetics and design. We put a big focus on design, we have a well-designed website, our photo shoots are well-produced. Curation is also very important. We’re moving away from tech and becoming more emotional. We have ‘highest voted’ and ‘most looked at’ filters but we think its very important to have that human element of curation. People can follow people they’re inspired by. Just like following people on Instagram or Twitter.”
Picking up a new craft can be intimidating, but Kollabora is trying to ease the path by combining content, commerce and community. If sewing, knitting and jewelry aren’t your style, at least sign up for the mailing list. Abousteit promises more crafts, like woodworking, are on their way soon.

Daylight Saving Time spurs drop in crime rate
Sanders, assistant professor of economics, explains that it's axiomatic that some criminal activity is highest when it's dark. Whether they know it or not, the trip home for commuters is riskier during the winter months, as deepening dusk makes them easy targets for muggers and other robbers.
But just how big is the Daylight Saving effect?
To answer the question, Sanders and Doleac focused on the hour where daylight is most affected by Daylight Saving Time. They used data from the National Incidence-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) to track hourly crime rates over the course of the three weeks prior to and following the day on which we set the clocks ahead. Sanders and Doleac found that robbery decreased by 40 percent in the hour most impacted by Daylight Saving Time—that hour that was dark or twilight in Standard Time, but is still daylight when DST kicks in.
"We look at robbery because it's a violent crime and it has a pretty big social cost. It's a crime that tends to be reported when it happens.Solar lights are an excellent choice for ledbulbe27s. Burglary,We offer elevatorsafetyss and cutting machines for processing different materials. on the other hand, tends to be reported later," Sanders said.
The team also looked at murder and sexual assault, however,The bottegapurses Intelligent model with special hydraulic braking system, with anemometer and dogvane.A complete range of of professional washerextractor99 that are redefining laundry systems. Sanders said it is a challenge to deal with these crimes because, like burglary, murders and sexual assaults are frequently reported some time after the incident, making it difficult to pinpoint a specific hour during which the crime occurred. Because of this, the team geared their research towards crimes of confrontation that are reported frequently.
Some observers have speculated that the decrease in crime rates in spring is tied to warmer weather and the morale boost that comes along with it, rather than the extra hour of daylight. Sanders says they can address the warm-weather theory, thanks to the 2007 change in the week Daylight Saving Time begins. Before 2007,The electical building blocks for solarlampemergencylight or modules. Daylight Saving Time began on the first Sunday of April. These days, we reset the clocks three full weeks earlier, on the second Sunday of March, when the weather is typically a lot cooler.
A number of bloggers have picked up on Sanders and Doleac's working paper, which also notes that the effect is reversed in the fall when we turn back our clocks and it gets dark an hour earlier. As darkness returns, crime rates rise. Sanders and Doleac suspect well-lighted areas can help decrease crime rates in places where crime is a problem.
"A little extra light doesn't guarantee crime won't happen, but no one has disagreed that light in general is always going to have a positive effect on crime rates. When an area is better lit, crime is less likely," said Sanders.
In their research, Sanders and Doleac explain that every crime has a social cost; a dollar amount society loses as a result of the crime being committed. Their figures indicate that each robbery costs society $45,000, when you take into account factors such as the cost of tracking the criminal down, the legal process, incarceration and the psychological cost of the victim. In comparison, the social cost of one murder is $8 million.
Sanders explained that financially constrained local governments could use such numbers to make tough decisions when the debate turns to whether to turn off or curtail street lighting.
"That number that we can pull out now is a concrete number we can put on the benefit side," said Sanders. "When constrained governments are trying to make decisions, we are on the side of avoiding those crimes over shutting off electricity."

I wonder what tourists and visitors to our town think of Miami after they navigate "The Gateway" arch and gaze upon a couple of dozen sidewalk planters spaced along Main Street either completely barren or inhabited with a lonely little pyramidal bush plopped in the middle, looking somewhat deserted? Will you join me and "adopt" a planter? I'm hoping there are a dozen or so individuals or organizations out there who will help to restore a little pride in our town, if it's only a few petunias.
I'm told the City plans to add more soil to these large containers. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get this all done by Memorial Day weekend? Fay has visited with many of the downtown merchants and about ten have agreed to purchase flowers and water them. And while I'm on my soapbox, are a few gloomy L.E.D. Christmas lights wrapped around our vintage streetlights, coupled with a tacky vinyl banner across North Main embellished with icicle lights, the best Miami, Oklahoma can do for Christmas decorations? If you'd like to see a little town that's showing its pride, take a short drive to Galena. Let's "LIVE" local. Food for thought.
The barbeque chain I mentioned in my last column has still not officially confirmed that a restaurant is coming to Miami. No "Sooner" (wink, wink) had I enticed you with the news than the next day the operator posted on his Facebook page that the deal had fallen through.
