If you've ever visited South Korea, you'll know that true Banana Milk is an experience beyond words. Capture the glory that is Banana Milk with one of these shirts (and then be prepared for random people on the street to talk to you about K-pop). This item is meant to fit baggier than typical shirts.

Q: Capacitive moisture sensor and need of voltage regulator I am trying to build a (capacitive) moisture sensor with ESP-01S, my goal is to measure the soil moisture level, send it via wifi to a server (estimating 10-15sec execution time) and finish it off with deep sleep (for maximum time so around an hour). I tried drawing schematics of the circuit with two versions, with and without a voltage regulator. However, I have some questions. I was thinking about choosing this battery Lifepo4 3.2V 1800mAh, which has a nominal voltage of 3.2V, end-of-charge voltage 3.65V (0.05 above the recommended rated V for ESP-01S), end-of-discharge voltage 2.0V. OR about this one XTAR 18650 2200mAh (slightly higher capacity) but it has a nominal voltage of 3.6-3.7V and I am afraid it therefore could go higher when fully charged. Q1: Which is a better choice? The Lifepo4 where I would theoretically not need a regulator or the XTAR where I would probably need one? Q2.1: When using a voltage regulator, what is the point of capacitors? Would it be possible to just use the voltage regulator without the capacitors? I found this online: The regulator doesn't need an output capacitor; it is stable without one. The only reason you might want an output capacitor is to improve its transient response. Seems like it should make the output more stable. Q2.2: Does adding the voltage regulator decrease the efficiency in terms of how long it can power the whole thing? I will be putting the ESP-01S into deep-sleep and I know I will have to do a little "hack" for it to wake up from it. Version without voltage regulator: Version with voltage regulator: A: Neither is a good choice for a WiFI sensor that requires a stable 3.3V and at least 250mA. Define your goals first then energy source, then voltage regulation and choose better parts.

I give permission. Doin' the thing, LP. Let's go. Spoiler: Palladian, The Hero of Knights In days of old, there were many gods who are no longer among us. This was a savage time, where the land was inhospitable, the world was ravaged, and man's life was brutal, nasty, and short. Principles held no value when survival was paramount. Those who wielded weapons fortified themselves behind walls and gates, leaving only to pillage the lands around them. Those who had no weapons didn't last long. Nobody knows the origins of the man called Palladian. He never showed his face, constantly concealing it behind the visor of a helmet. He was rarely seen without his armor, a simple suit of silvered plate with a golden sun emblazoned across the chest. He rarely spoke, only doing so to issue homilies about justice and virtue. All that was known is that one day, he arrived in the land, heavily armed, possessed of equal parts virtue and violent zeal. It was this latter quality that brought him fame, for he set about battering down the gates of tyrants, breaking the chains of the oppressed, and creating peace and order in his wake. Yet no sooner would he complete his task than he would vanish, taking no reward and leaving no trace. He soon achieved mythic status. People believed him some sort of spirit, or god, wandering the land and forging a new, just order from the cruel chaos that preceded him. In time, a faith grew around Palladian. An order of knights, paladins, and clerics, calling themselves the Knights of Sol, formed around the ideal that he represented. When people were oppressed, and cried out for justice, they cried out to Palladian; when they were rescued by knights wearing sun crests, they attributed the heroism to Palladian. Perhaps this was what caused the man Palladian to ascent to godhood. Or perhaps he always was a god. There are many mysteries from that age which are still unexplained. Palladian has the highest standards of his followers. He expects them to be walking symbols of purity, righteousness, and justice. Outsiders see these expectations as unreasonable, even ludicrous, but followers of Palladian believe that their god simply expects them to exceed their limits, and to be the best that they can possibly be. This, in fact, is the core tenet of the followers of Palladian: to strive each day to be a better person than the last, to inspire greatness in yourself and in others, and to live as though you could be called upon at any moment to save the world. Clergy and Temples Palladian's clergy are an orderly meritocracy. His divine proxies take an active role in selecting and grooming the purest, noblest, and most righteous for promotion; those who aspire to greatness have the burden of showing their worth as holy warriors. The clergy of Palladian is primarily a martial order; while a few Clerics act as logistics officers or medics, most of his clergy are devoted to continuing the war against Evil and injustice in all its forms. Churches of Palladian are rare, due to their sophistication. Palladian's churches tend to be vast, vaulted cathedrals, with high ceilings and great, massive windows, to allow in a maximum amount of natural light. Each church also prominently features bell towers, and is build in such a place that the bells can be heard from miles around, a clarion call to prayer or a martial rally. The church itself tends to form the center of a fortified keep, with barracks for warriors, stables for horses, and warehouses with enough supplies to withstand a siege. The church, being a martial order, tends to depend upon the kindness and gratitude of local farmers and merchants for food and supplies, but returns the favor by standing as an unbreakable bulwark against bandits and invasions. All who fight for righteousness or seek protection from Evil are welcome to rest within its walls.

First-time Homebuyers Austin 2021 Austin First-time Homebuyers Guide First-Time Homebuyers Guide 2019 mailroom doldrums Mail holiday cards early: United States Postal Services slows next-day deliveryto combat increasing debt Austin Sanders Dec 5, 2011 | 10:10 pm Rendering of a Seattle's Best Coffee drive-thru. Photo courtesy of Seattle's Best Coffee We'll soon see this logo at 15 stores around Dallas-Fort Worth. Next day delivery through the U.S. Postal Service will soon be a thing of the past as the mail carrier announced Monday they will no longer guarantee arrival of first-class stamped mail within one to three days. The shift comes amid threats of bankruptcy and is part of a broader plan to reduce costs by $20 billion within three years. In addition to slowing first class delivery, the USPS plans to eliminate all Saturday deliveries, shortening the mail week to just five days. The newest cuts will eliminate $3 billion from the ailing service's $14.1 billion deficit, closing nearly half of all mail processing centers and removing an additional 28,000 jobs from the nation's already dismal workforce. The changes are potentially harmful, as recognized by S&P Capital IQ analyst Jim Corridore in a story by NPR, in which he points out, "Over time, to the extent the customer service experience gets worse, it will only increase the shift away from mail to alternatives. There's almost nothing you can't do online that you can do by mail." Corridore's concern is well placed: In a market that is increasingly moving towards the Internet and a youth that mostly refers to physical mail with nostalgia, where does the USPS fit in? Now that delivery will be slowed to two to three days, even some of the baby-boomer hold-outs must be considering the possibility of abandoning physical mail for services like bill payment or during tax season.. Not to say physical mail is obsolete — not by any stretch of the word. Many people, especially those in more rural areas, are dependent on the speedy, reliable delivery of prescription medicine directly to their homes. But with slower service and the loss of an entire business day, some residents might see their shipments delayed an entire week. And what about businesses that depend on delivering time sensitive packages directly to customer's residences? Netflix is already struggling to keep its DVD-by-mail service afloat, and an extra day or two added to delivery times is sure to further stunt growth in that portion of the company's business. Printed publications such as TIME or USA Today that rely on expedient home delivery will surely face higher operating costs insuring the timely arrival of their already "day-late" offerings. If any of these organizations are forced to privatize their shipment method, the USPS stands to lose even more business, and at this stage, it literally cannot afford any revenue loss. Even though the physical delivery of mail is less relevant now than it was just 50 years ago, shrinking the postal service will effect a much broader portion of the nation than just those who prefer to send a hand written letter over a typed out e-mail. From corporations to citizenry, the impact of these cuts seem to have a more profound effect than just forcing customers to conduct their business online. It's impressive to think that for over 40 years, one could send a piece of paper anywhere in the United States and have it arrive the next day for under 50 cents. Now that next day delivery is going away, and with the vast amount of debt still facing the U.S. Postal Service, how much longer can the government viably support the independent agency? It's disappointing that such a revolutionary, long-standing American tradition might disappear, but with billions of dollars to make up by 2015 and all of the low cost alternatives available, mail appears to be on its last leg. The U.S. Postal Service's full press release can be read here. news/city-life We're No. 3 Texas ranks among best states to start a business Natalie Harms, InnovationMap Texas ranked behind Utah, No. 1, and Florida, No. 2 For years, Texas has been lauded for its business climate being welcoming for new businesses and startups. This year's study shows that the Lone Star State has yet again made the list. Texas ranked as the third best state to start a business in personal finance website WalletHub's recent list, 2023's Best & Worst States to Start a Business, with a score of 56.85 points. Texas ranked behind Utah, No. 1, and Florida, No. 2, and just ahead of Colorado. Idaho, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Oklahoma, and California make up the rest of the top 10, respectively. The study looked at 27 key indicators of startup success across all 50 states. Texas was recognized for these factors in particular: No. 10 – average growth in number of small businesses No. 30 – labor costs No. 10 – availability of human capital No. 4 – average length of work week (in hours) No. 14 – cost of living No. 13 – industry variety No. 31 – percentage of residents who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 Source: WalletHub Richard Ryffel, professor of finance practice at Washington University in St. Louis, noted the importance of policy in making a state a good place to start a business. "Established businesses looking to expand might expand or relocate entirely based on the relative favorability of the local business climate," Ryffel says. "Recently, Texas, for example, has been the beneficiary of some significant business relocations based on its business-friendly policies." The methodology of the study focused on three key dimensions — business environment, access to resources, and business costs — and 27 relevant metrics. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, and then each state's average across all metrics was used to calculate its overall score. In 2021, Texas ranked in the top position of WalletHub's study. Last year, the personal finance website looked at which cities were ideal spots for business launching, finding that Georgetown was the best small city in Texas for starting a business. Other Austin suburbs that managed to crack the top 200 include Pflugerville, which landed at No. 150 nationally, and San Marcos, which came in at No. 181. When it came to big cities, Austin ranked as No. 11. This article originally appeared on our sister site InnovationMap. innovationstartupbusiness

On record – Devonté Hynes & Third Coast Percussion – Fields (Cedille Records) Posted on February 17, 2020 by arcanafm Devonté Hynes For All Its Fury Perfectly Voiceless There Was Nothing Devonté Hynes and Third Coast Percussion Cedille Records CDR 90000 192 [60'49"] Producer Jesse Lewis Engineer Kyle Pyke Recorded 17-20 July 2018, Chicago Recording Company & 13-14 October 2018 (Electrical Audio) Written by Ben Hogwood It has become quite a challenge keeping track of Devonté Hynes' musical activities of late. While releasing a mixtape of quality offshoots from his Blood Orange project (reviewed on Arcana here), he has also released the soundtrack to Queen & Slim. With those in the can, there was always a danger this set of compositions, his most 'classical' opus to date, would fall below the radar. Indeed it did on its release in October – but Arcana decided to pick it up and write about it! There are three pieces here – the substantial For All Its Fury and two shorter pieces, Perfectly Voiceless and There Was Nothing. Hynes wrote them on a Digital Audio Workstation, sending them to Third Coast Percussion for arrangement and orchestration, before meeting up with them to record the works in the second half of 2018. All three pieces have their roots in dance, and were originally written for choreography by the Hubbard Street Dance Chicago company. Accomplished, stylish and with a few surprises in store – but Hynes' music needs the chance to establish itself. Those familiar with his language might expect his forays into longer compositions to be relatively simple in content, but Fields shows that not to be the case. Instead he takes his lead from the shorter form songs for Blood Orange, picking motifs and textures with the flexibility to blossom into something more substantial. Reach and Blur, the first two movements of For All Its Fury, set out a picture of cloudy ambience, reminding us of Hynes' love of Debussy. Only in Coil does the music really begin to flex its muscles. This takes place through a deceptively simple marimba riff that Hynes takes through a number of settings and developments. The murky ambience returns, with warm synthesizer chords, and the music – though sonically attractive – threatens to lose its direction. Gather, the seventh section, restores the momentum with busy xylophones and chimes, creating a lovely space with bowed marimbas, after which the music floats and creates an enchanting world with the chimes of Tremble. Those chimes spill over into the treble-rich Cradle, before Hynes starts to work in the lower reaches and rich sonority of the marimba sound. This section – Press – generates the most energy, before evaporating into the ambient wash of Fields itself, which then builds to a substantial and satisfying finish. The other two pieces are self-contained. Though their titles indicate they will be lacking, Perfectly Voiceless and There Was Nothing do have some appealing music. The former busily gets on with creating loops and developing them, though doesn't quite break free of the influence of Philip Glass. The instrumental colours are again really attractive, and the surrounding musical ambience is rather beautiful, with the shrill treble of chimes complemented by rich, lower marimba writing. There is a sense of petering out at the end, however. There Was Nothing starts with more soft, starry-eyed ambience, the colours familiar from the other pieces, but there is more evidence of electronic manipulation here with a warm backdrop to the fluttering marimba figures. There is a less obvious shape to this piece – inevitably, given the title – but it has a broader set of textures which are charming on headphones. Most of the time. On occasion it feels as though Hynes' music loses its sense of direction, but given the context of the pieces they serve their brief well. Fields is certainly an appealing album to listen to for its warm colours and consonant harmonies, and Hynes shows enough technique in his mastering of percussion instruments to suggest there is a lot more potential here. Yes. If you've followed Hynes's various pseudonyms, but especially Blood Orange, you will enjoy the warm colours presented by Fields. Hynes' understated and poignant vocals may be missing, as well as an electronic drum kit, but his next level of expression – analogue percussion instruments – serve him well. There is however the nagging feeling that these are works in the early stages of progress, but that in itself is intriguing. It will be very interesting to follow where Hynes goes next, and how his obvious talents are harnessed. You can read more about Fields at the Cedille website, together with options for purchasing on analogue and digital formats This entry was posted in On record and tagged Blood Orange, Cedille Records, Devonte Hynes, Third Coast Percussion by arcanafm.

Former U.S President, James A. Garfield once rightly said, "Man cannot live by bread alone; he must have peanut butter". Simply put, peanut butter is roasted peanuts ground into a smooth paste. It can be made at home, but many of us choose to skip the trouble and buy commercial peanut butter. The commercial brands of course combine it with other food additives to enhance its flavor. First invented and patented by a Canadian named Marcellus Gilmore Edson in 1884, peanut butter has come a long way since then. Almost every child loves a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Even adults can't help but binge on the creamy paste, believing that there's absolutely no worry in life that peanut butter can't solve. This versatile 'butter' can be used as a flavoring agent in almost any dish on earth. However, it does have the ability to stand on its own feet and declare to the world that it's a hero in its own right. Love it or hate it, you just can't ignore it. Are you spoilt for choice, or do you want to know if it's good for health? Read on to find out more about this wonderful invention. Though the name might suggest otherwise, natural peanut butter does contain food additives like sweeteners and salt. However, they do not contain any hydrogenated oils (which are also called trans fats). Due to the lack of these partially hydrogenated oils, the peanut butter might separate into two layers, which is not a matter of concern. What makes the natural peanut better one of the best choices is the fact that it is completely devoid of aflatoxin, which is known to be carcinogenic. Organic peanut butter is now the new fad and this particular item is gaining popularity with the health-conscious section of the society. They lack additives and hydrogenated oils, and thus are quite beneficial. However, organic peanut does contain high levels of aflatoxin, which can cause liver cancer. Standard or regular peanut butter tastes better than the natural or organic varieties, but they are also steeped in partially hydrogenated oils. Whether partially or completely hydrogenated, it is best to avoid standard peanut butter for nutritional reasons and opt for a natural or organic one instead. Don't get fooled by its name, since reduced fat does not always mean healthy. The fat that is removed from peanut butter is replaced by additional sugar. Hence there is absolutely no decrease in the calorie count. If it's still harmful for your health, why bother choosing this variant? • Peanut Butter, Weight Watchers? A lot of us are fond of peanut butter sandwiches as a kid, but the moment we start growing up we pay a lot of importance to our appearance and what others think of us. That includes being fat, which is always a big no-no. To watch our weight we give up on a lot of favorite food, and that also means peanut butter. However, good news for all of us! Peanut butter is actually very helpful if you want to lose weight. With loads of protein and fiber, you will be left feeling full for a longer time, which means you will be eating less. Peanut butter has monounsaturated fat, which is good for our heart. Of course, it depends on whether you're buying the natural one or the reduced-fat variant. You will be doing yourself a favor by avoiding the reduced-fat peanut butter. Peanut butter is choc-a-bloc with various nutrients, including vitamins B6 and E, magnesium, potassium. Vitamin B6 improves our immune system, magnesium helps strengthen our bones, potassium assists in building muscles, and vitamin E acts as an antioxidant. Looking closely at the nutrition provided by peanut butter, potassium is the most helpful of all. Not only does it allow us to build our muscles, potassium also helps counter the side-effects of the high sodium diet that we are used to consuming each day. Substitute butter or table margarine with some peanut butter, and be rest assured you won't be disappointed. Peanut butter tastes delicious, and the healthy fat and protein it contains, give you loads of energy to go about your daily routine. Just 2 tablespoons of peanut butter each day can translate into an efficient fiber supplier for your body. This will aid your digestion, keep diabetes at bay, and avoid coronary disorders as well as weight gain, helping you maintain good health on a daily basis. Daily consumption of small quantities of peanut butter can cut down on bad cholesterol and increase the amount of good cholesterol in your body. According to the Harvard Medical School, peanut butter helps you maintain a healthy heart, owing to the high percentage of unsaturated fats it contains. Niacin is an important nutrient when it comes to preventing Alzheimer's disease. This healthy vitamin B is found in peanut butter, and hence advocates eating peanut butter regularly in controlled doses. Pressed for time, and you have no clue what to make for breakfast? Just spread two tablespoons of peanut butter on some slices of bread, and your morning meal is ready. Remember, you won't be feeling hungry till lunch. For children, add some grape jelly; trust me, the combination works wonders. You could mix a dollop of peanut butter with your preferred fruits. Bananas especially are the perfect partner for the rich butter. Other fruits that complement peanut butter well are grapes, pears and apples. Having guests over this evening, and you don't have time to make a delicious dip? Just serve a few spoonful of peanut butter in a small bowl, and your guests will be leaving your house with a happy heart. Peanut Butter Cookies are heavenly delights when you have a sweet tooth.

Galateo: A Renaissance Treatise on Manners, by Giovanni Della Casa Posted by admin on 7/16/10 • Categorized as Publications,Renaissance and Reformation Texts in Translation 100 pp. / Softcover / ISBN 978-0-9697512-2-9 / $14.00 (Price includes applicable taxes, Shipping: $5.99 CAD within North America, $21.99 CAD to Europe, and $24.99 CAD to all other International addresses; prices may vary for bulk orders) [simpay id="14010″] 3rd Revised Edition. Edited and Translated by Konrad Eisenbichler and Kenneth R. Bartlett. Courtesy books have a special relationship to the age that produces them. By attempting to codify manners, styles, ideals and values of a society, they reveal the principles and presuppositions that shape and animate their world. Galateo does this brilliantly. It reflects the personal experience, wisdom, disappointments, and ambitions of its clerical but worldly-wise author, as well as the fundamental values of his age. And, given that his age was that of the transformation from the High Renaissance in Italy to the world of the Counter-Reformation, and that Della Casa was an important actor in the events of his time, the lessons are particularly valuable and worth considering. Archbishop Giovanni Della Casa (1503-1556) was an influential Vatican diplomat, papal nuncio to Venice, and instrumental in the establishment of the Venetian Inquisition and in its 1549 Index of Prohibited Books. He was also an accomplished poet, an arbiter of taste, and the most influential writer on social practice of his time. His book, Galateo, has in fact provided the modern Italian term for good manners: "not to know the galateo" is to have no manners at all! The Editors: Kenneth R. Bartlett is Professor of History and Renaissance Studies at Victoria College in the University of Toronto. Konrad Eisenbichler is Professor of Italian and Renaissance Studies at Victoria College in the University of Toronto. "This translation, in a contemporary English that avoids excessive colloquialisms, makes readily accessible to everyone interested in Renaissance culture a text that is not only a major book of etiquette but an illuminating study of the ideals of sixteenth century Italian Society. Through the text and its notes […] Eisenbichler and Bartlett anticipate the needs of readers for historical and mythological information. Eisenbichler and Bartlett have rendered an invaluable service to all students of the Italian Renaissance." — Douglas Radcliff-Umstead, Renaissance and Reformation/Renaissance et Reformé 26/3 (2002), pp. 241-242.

PREMIERE: Listen to "Heavenly" off of Rosemary Fairweather's upcoming sophomore album Rosemary Fairweather 25-year-old Toronto based dream-pop artist, Rosemary Fairweather, has used music to help overcome intense struggles in her life. Last year, she suffered a severe concussion which left her unable to leave her own bedroom. Growing from the hardship and discovering her inner strength, she's released a new song each month, culminating with her sophomore album Heavenly – A Second Collection of Songs, out on August 30th. Fairweather spoke about the record, stating, "Heavenly – A Second Collection Of Songs was inspired by my deep love of pop music. At its best, for me, pop music works on the dance floor, but equally well at home on the bed with headphones on. Pop music has saved my life, time and time again, and I hope this album makes a difference in that same sort of way for someone somewhere." The album is a stunning nine-track collection of ethereal dream-pop featuring Fairweather's signature spaced-out vocals and shimmering ethereal soundscapes. Heavenly- A Second Collection of Songs is best described as a coming of age album, touching upon themes such as dependency, intense love and loss, and celebrating life's small victories. The track, "Heavenly," stream down below, features warm vocals floating atop delicate shimmering synths. While the darker, moodier tone of "Once In A While" hits harder with clashing guitars juxtaposing the gentle glossy vocals; "You Talk Too Much" pulses with electric energy. It's a spirited danceable triumph of an album, uplifting listeners with each note. Rosemary Fairweather has received critical acclaim for her hypnotic dream pop. Take your first listen to the first track, "Heavenly" off of Heavenly – A Second Collection Of Songs and be transported to another world of sound. https://soundcloud.com/rosemary-fairweather/sets/heavenly-a-second-collection-of-songs/s-LeLbE https://www.facebook.com/dewofthesea/ https://twitter.com/dew_of_the_sea_?lang=en https://www.instagram.com/__rosemaryfairweather/?hl=en Click here to explore Liverpool, UK on Culture Collide.

A Costly Travel to Distanced countries need not necessarily be a Best One. A Peaceful, Serene and an inexpensive nearby place may just prove to be a much better one. When you plan to Travel, find places which are glorified and blessed by God, not beautified by Men. The One who doesn't trust in God, must Travel to places of Natural beauty like India, and be amazed as to who could do it, if not God. When we plan to travel we organize our Work for the next few days in such a way that things move smooth and work without us move anyway. We could be highly Productive if you could plan each of our day, the same way. Travel we all do out of our Busy Schedule, just to relax, but most of us end up running around and visiting so many places that we never get time to relax. A Beautiful Holiday could be Just visiting a Single Place rather than discovering 20 new places in just 10 days. When you Travel to a New place, you may find some people who aren't so good, but you surely would find some others who are. Don't just visit places you have liked more, explore new ones, there are lot of beautiful places you can discover more. Don't just visit a Place for its Beauty, prefer a place with Beautiful Kind Hearts.

Ad agencies are institutionally racist, sexist and homophobic, according to Dave Buonaguidi, the former chief creative officer at Karmarama. Speaking at a Bloom event on diversity last night, Buonaguidi said agencies are not interested in making a change or innovation. He said: "I don't think a lot of ad agencies have changed since the 1950s. I think they are institutionally racist, institutionally sexist and institutionally homophobic and I would say that across the board. "It frustrates me because I have set up two businesses over the last 20 years and they are no different from any other and I find that quite shameful. It's very white male, middle class and London centric." At the event held at the Digitas LBi office in the Old Truman Brewery, Buonaguidi told the Bloom members that ad agencies need to change their mind set to become a "caring culture". He praised the work of Toms, the shoe brand, which gives an underprivileged person a pair of shoes for each pair it sells. Buonaguidi said ad agencies should learn from this. Jan Gooding, the group brand director at Aviva and the chair of trustees at Stonewall, added that there are many strands to diversity and challenged the audience not to forget about LGBT people. She said: "I've realised there's a lot of homophobia and the reason I want your help is because we are being very superficial. A lot of straight people think 'we don't have a problem with gay people so no one else does' and we assume that LGBT people are fine in our offices." Gooding explained that no one talks about how many LGBT people work in advertising. She said: "What makes you assume they are all fine?" The event also heard from Karen Fraser, the strategy director at the Advertising Association, and Charlene White, a journalist and ITN newsreader.

E&ETV Back to E&ETV index page. Environmental policy attorney Learner discusses shifts in Midwest power market Aired: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 How will the Midwest respond to power plant emissions proposals coming out of U.S. EPA? During today's OnPoint, Howard Learner, president and executive director of the Environmental Law and Policy Center, explains how Midwestern states may handle emissions standards differently than other regions. He also talks about changes in power market investments in the region. Monica Trauzzi: Hello and welcome to OnPoint. I'm Monica Trauzzi. Joining me today is Howard Learner, president and executive director at the Environmental Law and Policy Center. Howard, thanks for coming back on the show. Howard Learner: Good to join you. Monica Trauzzi: Howard, President Obama's climate action plan potentially gives states a lot of leverage in terms of how they want to shape their emissions programs. What do you think this means for the Midwest? Howard Learner: Well, first of all, it's a big step in the right direction. We're now moving to certainty or as much as we can get in terms of regulatory certainty. Businesses can predict for the future. States can plan for the future, and for the Midwest, what this means is flexibility. You're going to see states being able to look at how with energy efficiency, with a lot of wind-power development, with other emerging new technologies can people best solve a problem. Monica Trauzzi: And how do you think the Midwest might approach this differently than other regions of the country? Howard Learner: The Midwest power market is driven by an economics these days of the lower power-market prices. PGM recently held an auction. The price went down by 60 percent. What's going on is there' an oversupply in the market at the same time that the quiet revolution in energy efficiency is taking hold and demand is staying flat or dropping. So there's a lot of economic pressure on coal-plant owners an nuclear-plant owners to take some of their older plants and decide whether it's economic or not to retrofit with modern pollution-control technology. So what you're seeing is first energy, for example, an AEP shutting down older coal plants. Midwest Generation in Illinois, it's in a bankruptcy proceeding now with all of its coal plants. On the nuclear side, Mid-American Energy decided to invest $1.9 billion in building more than 1,000 megawatts of new wind power while canceling plans to build a nuclear plant, and Exelon canceling some of its up-rates at the nuclear plants. The market's speaking. Wall Street corporate boardrooms are focused on the economics, and the economics right now favor new, clear technologies and not some of the older technologies. We're seeing technological innovation taking hold, and what will happen with the regulatory proceeding and the standards that give flexibility for the states is to look at some of the ways through technological innovation we can best meet our energy needs in the future. Monica Trauzzi: So you're saying maybe coal and nuclear are not getting as much money, so that means wind, natural gas are seeing all the cash flow? Howard Learner: That's certainly what's happening right now in the Midwest. You're seeing major coal-plant owners, First Energy, AEP, Midwest Generation, their corporate boards making economic decisions that it's not economically efficient to invest in retrofits even into natural gas. That's what AEP just decided. What you're seeing on the nuclear side is savvy companies like Exelon, Mid-American Energy, deciding to push back, hold back their nuclear investments. You're seeing a tremendous amount of investment moving forward on natural gas and I'll call next-generation higher-capacity wind power that really can come into the market and make a difference. That's the change in the Midwest. Monica Trauzzi: So let's go back to the power-plant emissions regulations that we're going to be seeing rolling out of EPA over the next few years. How much of an impact does the industry have here on the path to a finalized rule on new power plants and then down the line, the existing power-plant rule? Howard Learner: Well, the obvious question is, which industry? The fact of the matter is there's splits in the energy industry taken as a whole. The natural-gas industry has splits within it, but they have a different perspective than the coal industry, and within the coal industry there's a difference between the coal-mining industry and the companies that own older coal plants and the companies that've already retrofitted some of their coal plants like PSEG. Nuclear certainly has skin in the game from the nuclear industry's perspective. Tighter controls on fossil fuel is a winner for nuclear, and the wind industry is picking up pretty effectively that what's happening underneath all that are the technological advances in energy efficiency, which is holding down demand in the market, and that's holding down prices. If you're an electric generator, low prices aren't good for you. If you're any other sort of business, whether you're a grocery store or a commercial office building owner or an industrial plant or people at home, low electricity prices are a good thing for you, and what's happening is with more efficient refrigerators, air conditioners, electric motors, better lighting, LEDs coming into the market, that's holding down and decreasing demand and that's pulling down market prices, and that's one of the more flexible ways of dealing with some of the greenhouse-gas standards that I think the states are gonna be using. Monica Trauzzi: What kind of litigation are you anticipating on these emissions rules, and how can EPA sort of ensure that the rules are court-ready and that they won't be struck down in court? Howard Learner: Well, there's no guarantee that a rule won't be struck down, but certainly EPA has looked at the range of decisions that've come out of the Supreme Court and out of the D.C. circuit, and the Supreme Court in the AEP v. Connecticut case made pretty clear that there's a lot of deference to EPA's scientific and technical expertise. So I think what you're seeing with the new plant rules is EPA taking a half a step back, tweaking them to try to get them as right as they can, both as a matter of policy and as a matter to be as protected on litigation as they can be. There's no question there's a cottage industry in Washington and elsewhere of suing everything that EPA does. There will be appeals, probably many appeals, to the D.C. circuit. So far the track record is in most cases on the greenhouse-gas standards EPA has been upheld by the D.C. circuit. Monica Trauzzi: Let's talk about what's happening in Chicago, the municipal aggregation contract. What's the potential there on the impact on the coal industry and on renewables? Howard Learner: Well, Mayor Emanuel listened to the public. The public said overwhelmingly in Chicago, "Let's have more renewables and less coal." The city of Chicago had a municipal aggregation contract. It's procuring its own electricity supply in the market. This is huge, the third-largest city in the country buying power for the people in the city, and they had two stipulations: one, no coal, and, secondly, buy more renewables. The city has doubled the amount of wind power they're purchasing and the city has entered into a power-procurement contract that has no coal. That reduces carbon, spurs clean-energy development and winds up with a profile that reduces the carbon equivalent of about 100,000 cars. Monica Trauzzi: All right, interesting as always, Howard. We're going to end it right there. Howard Learner: Thank you very much. Monica Trauzzi: Thank you for coming on the show, and thanks for watching. We'll see you back here tomorrow. [End of Audio]

On the Wish List Connect in Chicago: New Friends and New Digs for Less Than $50 a Night by Kim VanderVoort Loot at that view. Photo courtesy of the Grupo Habita Hotels. Two new hotel openings slated for November from Grupo Habita are adding to Chicago's burgeoning boutique scene — and seriously upping the ante on hotel social media strategies. CHICAGO – What's the latest in the hotel sharing economy? Getting to know your hotel mates before you actually meet them. The Hollander of Chicago, the latest from innovative Mexico-based hotel company Grupo Habita, is creating what they're calling "Social Stay" to initiate and inspire connections between its digitally-inclined travelers. Built in 1905 as a furniture storage warehouse, The Hollander maintains an industrial feel, with high ceilings and modern design. But the hotel's most innovative feature may not be the decor. In addition to twelve private rooms, The Hollander has eight shared rooms designated for Social Stay — a new concept that incorporates social media into the hotel's booking system. The Hollander Building. Photo by Alexander Barrios. A TRULY SOCIAL HOTEL Lest your mind wander to the youth hostels you'd rather forget you ever stayed in, the hotel's sophisticated style doesn't exactly scream backpacker. Guests who book a shared room, where rates start at a bargain $45, are prompted to provide their Instagram handle and are in turn given the Instagram handles of guests they're likely to meet. The hotel describes this as a way to "encourage guests to make real connections with real people." We consider it sanctioned social stalking and a very of-the-moment approach to hospitality. Anyone with a smartphone and an Instagram addiction might say this was a long time coming. Bunking up at The Hollander. Photo by Adrian Gaut. Sleek storage at The Hollander. Photo by Adrian Gaut. TWO HOTELS IN ONE Grupo Habita isn't just opening one ho The Robey opens next door at the same time in the iconic Northwest Tower. The refurbishment of the triangular skyscraper, built in 1929 as an office building, continues Grupo Habita's tradition of repurposing old structures in clever and contemporary ways. At The Robey, Art Deco designs are fused with mid-century modern furniture in a sleek, minimalist palette of lights and darks, resulting in a self-professed "confident mix of Americana." The corner suite at The Robey. Photo courtesy of Grupo Habita Hotels. Poolside at The Robey. Photo courtesy of Grupo Habita Hotels. On-site watering holes include Up & Up, a guest-only rooftop lounge with panoramic views of the city, and Café Robey, the street-level bistro serving French-American fare. The sixth-floor Cabana Club, slated to open next spring, will host a fittingly triangular rooftop pool that sits atop the Hollander. The hotels are on the border of two quintessential Chicago neighborhoods: Wicker Park, with its tree-lined streets, Insta-worthy Victorian homes, and immigrant community roots; and Bucktown, with its galleries, boutiques, and artist community feel. Nearby is The 606, the elevated track-turned-greenway pulsing with art installations and forward-thinking landscape design. Private rooms at The Hollander start at $220 and shared rooms start at $45. Rooms at The Robey start at $156. Filed under: Bucktown, Chicago, Culture, Hostel, Instagram, Let's Socialize, Wicker Park Kim VanderVoort Kim is a writer based in New York City.

After traveling more than three billion miles during a nine-and-a-half year journey, the New Horizons spacecraft has made a successful investigative flyby of Pluto. With the achievement, the United States via NASA has become the first country to send a spacecraft to all nine of the classical planets of our solar system. Yes, we said nine, not eight planets. When New Horizons was launched on January 19, 2006, Pluto still had full planetary status. It was later demoted to a dwarf planet by a vote of 424 astronomers during the last hours of a meeting of the International Astronomical Union in Prague on August, 24, 2006. The furor of that decision continues to resonate among scientists and the public, and with the first ever closeup views of the planet now streaming back from New Horizons as it speeds through the Kuiper Belt, that debate is likely to continue. While New Horizons was observing Pluto and its moons, the spacecraft was not transmitting data back to Earth. Due to the slow speed of New Horizon's data transmission capabilities, it will take 16 months for all the images and data collected during the flyby to be sent back to Earth. For more information about the Pluto mission, consider reading our earlier article, 'New Horizons: Pluto garners the spotlight'. For more information about the Deep Space Network on Earth that is communicating with New Horizons, and many other spacecraft, consider reading our feature, 'Deep Space Network: Finding the signal for 50 years'. As new images and data are released during the next few days by NASA and the John Hopkins Applied Physic Laboratory, we'll continue to update this page with that information. Editor's Note: The next New Horizons science update occurred at 2 p.m. EDT on Friday, July 24. Click here for that article. While Pluto's largest moon, Charon, has grabbed most of the lunar spotlight, two of Pluto's smaller and lesser-known satellites are starting to come into focus via new images from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft. New Horizons' first color image of Nix, in which colors have been enhanced, reveals an intriguing region on the jelly bean-shaped satellite, which is estimated to be 26 miles (42 kilometers) long and 22 miles (36 kilometers) wide. "Before last week, Hydra was just a faint point of light, so it's a surreal experience to see it become an actual place, as we see its shape and spot recognizable features on its surface for the first time," said mission science collaborator Ted Stryk, of Roane State Community College in Tennessee. Peering closely at the "heart of Pluto," in the western half of what mission scientists have informally named Tombaugh Regio (Tombaugh Region), New Horizons' Ralph instrument revealed evidence of carbon monoxide ice. The contours indicate that the concentration of frozen carbon monoxide increases towards the center of the "bull's eye." These data were acquired by the spacecraft on July 14 and transmitted to Earth on July 16. Homing in on Pluto's small satellite Nix, New Horizons' Long Range Reconnaissance Imager captured this image, which shows features as small as 4 miles (6 kilometers across). Mission scientists believe we are looking at one end of an elongated body about 25 miles (40 kilometers) in diameter. The image was acquired on July 13 from a distance of about 360,000 miles (590,000 kilometers). This new image of an area on Pluto's largest moon Charon has a captivating feature—a depression with a peak in the middle, shown here in the upper left corner of the inset. This image was captured at 3:38 a.m. EDT on July 13, one day before New Horizon's closest approach to Pluto. This view is dominated by the large, bright feature informally named the "heart," which measures approximately 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) across. The heart borders darker equatorial terrains, and the mottled terrain to its east (right) are complex. However, even at this resolution, much of the heart's interior appears remarkably featureless-possibly a sign of ongoing geologic processes. A portrait from the final approach. Pluto and Charon display striking color and brightness contrast in this composite image from 11 July 2015, showing high-resolution black-and-white LORRI images colorized with Ralph data collected from the last rotation of Pluto. Color data being returned by the spacecraft now will update these images, bringing color contrast into sharper focus. They're a fascinating pair: Two icy worlds, spinning around their common center of gravity like a pair of figure skaters clasping hands. Scientists believe they were shaped by a cosmic collision billions of years ago, and yet, in many ways, they seem more like strangers than siblings. New Horizons was about 3.7 million miles (6 million kilometers) from Pluto and Charon when it snapped this portrait late on 8 July 8 2015. Charon is about 750 miles (1200 kilometers) across, about half the diameter of Pluto-making it the solar system's largest moon relative to its planet. Its smaller size and lower surface contrast have made it harder for New Horizons to capture its surface features from afar, but the latest, closer images of Charon's surface show intriguing fine details. In the early morning hours of July 8, mission scientists received this new view of Pluto-the most detailed yet returned by the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) aboard New Horizons. The image was taken on July 7, when the spacecraft was just under 5 million miles (8 million kilometers) from Pluto, and is the first to be received since the July 4 anomaly that sent the spacecraft into safe mode.

This is done to verify whether the accident was an ordinary event or resulted from drug influence. The employer might have no problem with recreational use, but in such cases, other parties such as insurers are also involved. Failing a test under such circumstances is likely to have negative ramifications. Some employers also do random drug tests. Such tests are usually unannounced and might only be done on a small percentage of employees. Mostly, such tests are carried out for research purposes so you might get away with failing one. Just as the reasons for drug testing vary, there are many reasons too why one could be searching for ideas on how to pass a drug test. The most important thing is to be fully informed.

Welshbury Hill is an Iron Age hill fort near Mitcheldean in Gloucestershire, England. It is thought to have been built by Celts and dates back to 1600 BC. Welshbury Hill Fort is reputed to be the place where the Celtic Dobunni tribe staged its last battle against the Romans after a long-running guerrilla war. There is an ancient spring water well nearby known locally as St Anthony's Well. References Hill forts in Gloucestershire

Dozens of vehicles sit stranded on the northbound lanes of the Alex Fraser Bridge on Tuesday night. (Photo: Shane MacKichan) B.C. storm 12-hour commute during snow storm a chaotic 'nightmare' in B.C.'s Lower Mainland Gridlock as the snow piled up wreaked havoc across the region It usually takes Cloverdale's Kristina Trotzuk about an hour to get home from work on Annacis Island. On Tuesday, it took her more than 12. "It was the most frustrating, stressful, scary situation I've ever been through," she told Black Press Media Wednesday morning after just a few hours sleep. "It was just absolute chaos." Trotzuk was among a gridlock of drivers trapped in their vehicles as a fierce storm blanketed much of British Columbia's south coast and Vancouver Island with up to 25 centimetres of snow, causing traffic chaos, power outages and airport delays. She left her work at 4:15 p.m. Two hours later, she had only made it to the Cliveden exit for Highway 91 – a 15-minute walk from her work. She could see that the Alex Fraser Bridge, one of the main artieries across the Fraser River, was a mess. It looked like a construction zone, with buses sideways and tow trucks. At this point few cars, if any, were getting across the bridge. She decided to try the George Massey tunnel. The road going on Highway 99 had not been plowed or salted. "It was like driving a mountain road, it was the freakiest thing ever," said Trotzuk. At around 10:30 p.m., DriveBC reported the George Massey tunnel was closed southbound due to an accident, so she had to reroute again. LETTER: Real reason for snow storm traffic gong show is ill-prepared drivers Trotzuk criss-crossed around Delta and Richmond for the next several hours, trying to find a clear route home. Most of the time, she was moving, even if it was at a snail's pace, except when she was on the No. 5 road in Richmond trying to get on Stevenson Highway. She recalls telling her husband Perry at 11:45 p.m. she should be home soon. The next thing she knew, it was 2 a.m., and she had not moved. Everywhere she looked, she could see cars in the ditch and spinning out. For his part, Perry said it was a terrible feeling sitting at home not being able to help his wife. "I was helpless with no way to help her out," he said. "Makes me sick to my stomach." Trotzuk then heard that Steveson Highway had closed. As she sat in gridlock traffic, she wondered what she should do. It felt like there was nowhere to go. "Do I cry?" A local radio station encouraged drivers to make their way to the Golden Ears Bridge. She found a different route that was clear. Within 40 minutes, she was jumping into her bed at 4:55 a.m. SEE ALSO: Kudos to couple for feeding drivers stuck in Surrey snowstorm traffic — but who are they? Her experience was hardly unique. When Bharanisai Madhusudhan stopped at the grocery store on his way home from work Tuesday afternoon, he expected the trip from Vancouver to Surrey to take him about 45 minutes. Instead, it would be nearly 12 hours before he arrived home. "If I had walked to my home, I would have reached there about four hours earlier," he said. Madhusudhan said he saw drivers travelling with infants and spoke to one senior who was worried about running out of his medication. Abandoned vehicles on the side of the road suggested some people had decided to leave their cars and walk. The frustration from drivers was palpable, he said. "Actually, it was scary because the last thing you want to do is get stranded on the top of a bridge and just wait for a towing vehicle, which was also not possible because a lot of towing vehicles were stranded as well," he said. He said the government could have done a better job preparing for the storm that it knew was coming and of notifying people when the bridge was being shut down. Trotzuk felt the same, adding she believes cities could have done more to prepare as well. The snowplows she saw had a hard time clearing the roads because they were full of gridlock traffic and abandoned cars. Reflecting on last night's experience, she was emotional and called the whole experience was "surreal." She has lived in the area her entire life and said she has never experienced anything like that before. "It was so unorganized," she said. Officials with the Ministry of Transportation were expected to provide an update on the situation Wednesday. Thankfully Trotzuk had enough gas and a vehicle with all-wheel drive. But the experience taught her to be more prepared for next time – like making sure she has a warm coat in her car. When Black Press Media spoke to her on Wednesday (Nov. 30), she was on her way to work. This time, it only took her 35 minutes. The only people on the road today are the vehicles people abandoned last night during the storm, she said with a chuckle. Environment Canada lifted snowfall warnings Wednesday for Vancouver Island and Metro Vancouver but was predicting up to 10 centimetres more over the Fraser Valley and along the Sea-to-Sky corridor between Squamish and Whistler. — with a file from The Canadian Press Driving south on HWY 99 in the video near exit 4.

Why is Russia bombing Syria? Russian President Vladimir Putin holds a meeting with senior government officials at the Novo-Ogaryovo residence outside Moscow, Russia, on Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2015. Image: Alexei Nikolsky/RIA Novosti, Kremlin Pool Photo via AP By Christopher Miller 2015-09-30 18:18:03 UTC Russia launched its first airstrikes inside Syria on Wednesday, claiming its jets were targeting ISIS militants. But videos from local activists appeared to tell a different story — one echoed by analysts: The Russian strikes seemed to target areas controlled by more moderate rebel groups fighting against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. See also: Satellite images show Russia building military support for Syria So why is Russia suddenly conducting air strikes in Syria? "For all that Russia has said about combatting ISIS… it's clear that it's carrying out strikes that are meant to shore up the Assad regime," said Mark Galeotti, an expert on Russian security forces and a professor of global affairs at the Center for Global Affairs at New York University. "Striking in the Homs area, this is an anti-rebel strike and not an anti-ISIS strike." While ISIS has commanded headlines for its bloody tactics, the Assad regime has killed far more civilians than the extremist group. Throughout the four-year civil war, in which more than 200,000 people have died, Putin has provided unwavering support for Assad — propping up the dictator diplomatically and in more covert ways. Analysts say the real reason for Russia's military actions in Syria is to protect its own interests there, specifically its military installations which gives Moscow a foothold in the Middle East. The country has an air base in Latakia and a naval facility in Tartus and losing them would be a strategic blow. Russian military jets carried out airstrikes in Syria on Wednesday for the first time, after President Vladimir Putin received parliamentary approval to send Russian troops to Syria. Earlier this week during a speech at the United Nations, Russian President Vladimir Putin called for an international coalition to fight ISIS, saying it would be an "enormous mistake to refuse to cooperate with the Syrian government and its armed forces, who are valiantly fighting terrorism face to face." The U.S. is already leading a coalition against the militant group. But Washington also believes that Assad should step down. "If Russia wanted to fight ISIS, they could have joined the 60-plus member coalition that Gen. Allen has so capably put together and help drop bombs on ISIS," former CIA director, Gen. David Petraeus said last week. "They have some capabilities that would be useful to that fight so this is clearly not what they're up to." Putin said on Wednesday that Russia would not "plunge headfirst" into the Syrian conflict, but would provide temporary air support for the Syrian army. However, the resolution approved by Russia's parliament that granted Putin the power to deploy the country's armed forces reportedly doesn't name a specific country for the operation or set a date for its end. Galeotti believes Russia has a short-term plan "to allow the Assad regime time to pick itself up, and also to provide him with some extra backbone." In this image made from video provided by Homs Media Center, which has been verified and is consistent with other AP reporting, smoke rises after airstrikes by military jets in Talbiseh of the Homs province, western Syria, Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2015. But the Russian presence is not without its dangers, he warned. "The longer they spend there, the more likely bad things can happen," such as confrontation with forces fighting as part of the U.S.-led coalition in the region, which would likely have "significant consequences." "Unless Russia willing to move beyond air strikes, putting boots on the ground… it's hard to see how the Russians are going to change the situation on the ground" in Syria, he said. Putin himself said that ground troops would not be used in the Russian campaign. "You can accelerate or slow the process" of Assad losing territory, "but unless you're willing to send thousands of ground troops… you can't turn the tide," Galeotti added. The State Department said on Wednesday that Moscow gave U.S. officials short notice that Russian warplanes would begin the airstrikes. Russia's defense ministry said on Facebook that Russia had hit ISIS ground targets using "pinpoint strikes" on Wednesday. В соответствии с решением Верховного Главнокомандующего Вооруженными Силами РФ Владимира Путина самолеты российских Возд... Posted by Минобороны России on Wednesday, September 30, 2015 Later in the afternoon is released footage of the first airstrikes inside Syria against what it claimed to be an ISIS headquarters. But videos posted online showed chaotic and gory scenes of wounded civilians and buildings reduced to rubble as plumes of acrid black smoke filled the sky in Homs and Hama, including areas controlled by the U.S.-backed Free Syrian Army rebels. Activists and a rebel commander in Syria on Wednesday claimed the Russian airstrikes in the country have mostly hit civilians and moderate rebels. And even Russia's own correspondents were reporting that the attacks had hit groups other than ISIS.

A customer with a Duke had a complaint that the air conditioning unit door was inoperable. The electric motor which operates the door had not been used for several months and we anticipated having to replace it. I sprayed the motor and was amazed at the fact that it began working within 15 minutes. Then we tried it on a rotating beacon that was out and it also began working! You've got me convinced. Note: Service agent quoted $4 - 4500 to overhaul this motor after salt water immersion.

Why are there two Rs in "arrhythmic"? It seems to me combining "a-"and "rhythmic" would intuitively be spelled "arhythmic". Is there a rule or some other practical reason that it's spelled arrhythmic? Actually, "arhythmic" is recognized by many dictionaries as an alternate spelling (for example, Merriam Webster). As Henry notes, the Greek word is ἄρρυθμος "arrhythmos", so the spelling with one r does not come directly from Greek; it instead seems to derive from a re-combination in English of the elements "a-" and "rhythmic," exactly the way you intuitively wanted to spell the word. The pattern underlying the main spelling, "arrhythmic," is that words starting with the letter rho (ρ) in Greek, transliterated in this position as "rh," tended to have the rho doubled when a prefix was added or when they were the second half of a compound word. Double rho (ρρ) is transliterated as "rrh." You can find more details and explanation on John Wells's phonetic blog: rh and rrh. There are many Greek-based prefixes used in English. In general, after any of these prefixes ending with a vowel, a word starting with "rh" will have the spelling changed to "rrh." Examples of doubing after other Greek prefixes: hyporrhythmic, Antirrhinum, Metarrhizium For a word that already existed in Ancient Greek, this doubling exists in the original Greek spelling, and is generally brought over to the English spelling. Words newly coined in English from Greek components may follow this doubling rule, or they may not, depending on the intuitions of the person coining the word. For some words, both variants are used, as shown by the coexistence of "arrhythmic" and "arhythmic." (Incidentally, another word that appears to vary in this way is Metarrhizium; while Merriam Webster gives the doubled spelling I was looking for to use as an example, you'll find that the Wikipedia article calls the genus Metarhizium with only one r.)

I am a teacher of mathematics, I have been the director of the school for a few years, and I have always enjoyed my students discovering the hidden mathematics in our lives. We continue: We defend our work in the Cádiz Student Researchers Contest, intense days, enjoying STEM. For the past 5 years I have been carrying out research in the field of mathematics with groups of students between 15 and 16 years of age. To do this, they voluntarily stay at the break working and during weekends through mail. We started in September and we are working until April. This year, we have been selected to participate in the Student Research Contest. The work consists of explaining through a manual that we have made the multidimensions, based on the engravings of Escher and using the Skech up program. We have made some drawings. This investigation will be defended in this Contest and others that will be in May. I leave the video of 2 minutes that my students have made for this contest.

Source: Morry Gash/AP Even Steven Avery's Attorneys Aren't so Sure He's Innocent By Philip Ross The attorneys for Steven Avery, the subject of the popular Netflix docu-series Making a Murderer who was convicted in the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach, said they're not so sure their client was innocent. The 10-part series put Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, on the map and shed light on what many said was a botched investigation into Halbach's murder, leading many viewers to believe Avery had been wrongly accused. In an interview Friday with CBS This Morning — their first together since Making a Murderer was released in December — defense attorneys Dean Strang and Jerry Buting talked about the show, the evidence producers left out and the question of Avery's culpability. Strang said, despite having defended Avery, there was "absolutely" some doubt about his innocence. "If it was OK to convict people on maybes, I wouldn't be worried about this," Strang told CBS This Morning. "But it's not." Avery's story started long before his 2005 conviction. In 1985, he was jailed for a sexual assault conviction — a conviction that would, 18 years later, be overturned. Avery was released in 2003 after DNA evidence exonerated him. He later sued Manitowoc County officials for $36 million, a move many thought could have prompted law enforcement to go after Avery for Halbach's murder. Making a Murderer focused not only on Avery's wrongful imprisonment for rape, but his 2005 trial for Halbach's murder. Throughout the over 200-hour trial, Strang and Buting argued law enforcement had planted evidence against Avery, including accusing police of placing Halbach's car key in Avery's home. While many viewers of Making a Murderer walked away from the series with the feeling Avery was framed for Halbach's murder, not everyone was so convinced. Avery's ex-girlfriend called him a "monster" in an interview this week with HLN's Nancy Grace and said she was convinced he was guilty. Avery, for his part, has accused his brothers for the murder.

July 30, 2014 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall for one lot of Hospira Inc.'s Lidocaine HCl because it may be contaminated with particles of iron oxide. Lidocaine (also known as "Xylocaine") is one of the most commonly-used anesthetics. It is injected into patients undergoing certain medical procedures to reduce the sensation of pain. Lidocaine HCI Injection: USP, 2%, 20 mg per mL, 5 mL single-Dose Vial, Preservative-Free (NDC 0409-2066-05; Lot 25-550-DD) Expiration: January 1, 2015. Product is packaged 10 units per carton / 180 units per case. The recalled lot was distributed from June 2013 through July 2013. Hospira initiated the recall after confirming a customer complaint about a discolored solution. There visible particles floating in the solution as well as particles embedded in the glass vial. The particles were identified as iron oxide.The problem was traced to a manufacturer that supplies glass vials for Hospira. Hospira says it is "extremely unlikely" that the contamination will cause an adverse event. If the particle is large, it could clog the catheter and delay therapy. This is unlikely because the observed particles were very small. It is more likely that the particles will pass through the catheter to a patient and cause local inflammation, mechanical disruption of tissue, or immune reactions. In extremely rare cases, exposure to a strong magnetic field (e.g. MRI) could result in tissue damage. The Schmidt Firm, PLLC is currently accepting hospital-acquired infection induced injury cases in all 50 states. If you or somebody you know has been injured by a contaminated medicine, you should contact our lawyers immediately for a free case consultation.

Bearing Witness On September 22, 2015 May 17, 2016 By stacyschatzIn Europe We left Rothenburg this morning and drove to Dachau concentration camp near Munich, which was the first concentration camp, later used as a model for all future camps. Dachau was a work camp for political prisoners, also serving as a school of violence for the SS men. In the twelve years it existed before the liberation, this camp imprisoned over 200,000 people from all over Europe, the majority of which were Jewish, and the rest were a mix of people that were deemed non-compliant to the regime, including physically and mentally disabled, those of opposing political or social mindset, as well as homosexuals, and an estimated 41,500 died here, but the real numbers are impossible to know, just like the death toll of other such atrocities. Per the printed guide, "The Memorial Site on the grounds of the former concentration camp was established in 1965 on the initiative of and in accordance with the plans of the surviving prisoners who had joined together to form the Comite International de Dachau." While I knew that this would be difficult, I'm not sure that anything can prepare you to visit such a site. I have always wanted to visit one of the camps; not for curiosity sake, but for the greater humanitarian essence of bearing witness to what happened there. To stand on such hallowed ground, my single visit among the millions that have visited this same place, was perhaps insignificant in the greater context, yet it was an experience I will never forget. The original barracks have since been torn down, with two reconstructed as part of the memorial, and while I didn't go into them, it was striking to see the rows of structure-less foundation walls where the original barracks stood. Our guide talked about the barracks, designed for 200 prisoners, eventually holding 2000 each, and everything that came with that type of over-crowding; the barbed wire and electric fence and the guard towers along the fence-line; the daily roll-calls, and how prisoners were identified by number and colored triangle patches to indicate their "offenses" (criminals, political views, homosexual, etc.), or the star of David for the Jewish prisoners. We walked outside the fence-line to a separate area, away from the barracks in an attempt to keep it secret, but of course that was a complete fallacy — the crematorium. Walking into the building, where the deceased prisoners were cremated, and seeing the brick ovens, as well as the gas chamber to the side — it broke me. Nothing prepares you to walk into such a place, stand before those metal oven doors and see inside, and take in what happened there. Nothing. I couldn't photograph this visit. Many people do so. I made the personal choice that somehow doing so takes away from the experience. The sight of the place, the imagined sounds and smells, and feel of it — it is all permanently etched in the photographs of my mind. I have disabled comments on this post intentionally.

The nebula is named after its resemblance to the North America content in visible light. This visible view highlights the eastern seaboard and Gulf of Mexico regions. In infrared light, the continent disappears. The "Mexican Riviera" -- the west coast of Mexico -- seems to invert in texture and brightness, as does the "neck" region of the Pelican nebula, named for its resemblance to a pelican. This nebula can be seen to the right of the North America nebula in the visible image. The Gulf of Mexico transforms from a dark cloud into a "river" of hundreds of young stars. These pictures look different in part because infrared light can penetrate dust whereas visible light cannot. Dusty, dark clouds in the visible image become transparent in Spitzer's view. In addition, Spitzer's infrared detectors pick up the glow of dusty cocoons enveloping baby stars. The Spitzer image contains data from both its infrared array camera and multiband imaging photometer. Light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns has been color-coded blue; 4.5-micron light is blue-green; 5.8-micron and 8.0-micron light are green; and 24-micron light is red. ssc2011-03a2 The Case of the Disappearing Continent This swirling landscape of stars is known as the North America nebula. In visible light, the region resembles North America, but in this new infrared view from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, the continent disappears. Where did the continent go? The reason you don't see it in Spitzer's view has to do, in part, with the fact that infrared light can penetrate dust whereas visible light cannot. Dusty, dark clouds in the visible image become transparent in Spitzer's view. In addition, Spitzer's infrared detectors pick up the glow of dusty cocoons enveloping baby stars. Clusters of young stars (about one million years old) can be found throughout the image. Slightly older but still very young stars (about three to five million years) are also liberally scattered across the complex, with concentrations near the "head" region of the Pelican nebula, which is located to the right of the North America nebula (upper right portion of this image). Some areas of this nebula are still very thick with dust and appear dark even in Spitzer's view. For example, the dark "river" in the lower left-center of the image -- in the Gulf of Mexico region -- are likely to be the youngest stars in the complex (less than a million years old). This image contains data taken by Spitzer's infrared array camera at wavelengths of 3.6 (blue), 4.5 (green), 5.8 and 8.0 (red) microns. ssc2011-03a Changing Face of the North America Nebula This image layout reveals how the appearance of the North America nebula can change dramatically using different combinations of visible and infrared observations from the Digitized Sky Survey and NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, respectively. In this progression, the visible-light view (upper left) shows a striking similarity to the North America continent. The image highlights the eastern seaboard and Gulf of Mexico regions. The red region to the right is known as the "Pelican nebula," after its resemblance in visible light to a pelican. The view at upper right includes both visible and infrared observations. The hot gas comprising the North America continent and the Pelican now takes on a vivid blue hue, while red colors display the infrared light. Inky black dust features start to glow in the infrared view. In the bottom two images, only infrared light from Spitzer is shown -- data from the infrared array camera is on the left, and data from both the infrared array camera and the multiband imaging photometer, which sees longer wavelengths, is on the right. These pictures look different in part because infrared light can penetrate dust whereas visible light cannot. Dusty, dark clouds in the visible image become transparent in Spitzer's view. In addition, Spitzer's infrared detectors pick up the glow of dusty cocoons enveloping baby stars. Color is used to display different parts of the spectrum in each of these images. In the visible-light view (upper right) from the Digitized Sky Survey, colors are shown in their natural blue and red hues. The combined visible/infrared image (upper left) shows visible light as blue, and infrared light as green and red. The infrared array camera (lower left) represents light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns as blue, 4.5 microns as green, 5.8 microns as orange, and 8.0 microns as red. In the final image, incorporating the multiband imaging photometer data, light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns has been color coded blue; 4.5-micron light is blue-green; 5.8-micron and 8.0-micron light are green; and 24-micron light is red. ssc2011-03c Babies in the North America Nebula Stars at all stages of development, from dusty little tots to young adults, are on display in a new image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The cosmic community is called the North America nebula. In visible light, the region resembles the North America continent, with the most striking resemblance being the Gulf of Mexico. But in Spitzer's infrared view, the continent disappears. Instead, a swirling landscape of dust and young stars comes into view. This image focuses in on the Gulf of Mexico cluster of young stars. Several hundred young stars, seen here as the red dots, huddle together along their natal dark cloud -- what can be seen as the dark "river." In the main image, data from both the infrared array camera and multiband imaging photometer are included, showing infrared wavelengths of 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8, and 24 microns. In the inset, only data from the infrared array camera are shown, including wavelengths of 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8 microns. The inset highlights jets from young stars, seen as green streaks near the stars. Star > Type > Variable > Pulsating Standard Candle in the Wind This image layout illustrates how NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope was able to show that astandard candle" used to measure cosmological distances is shrinking -- a finding that affects precise measurements of the age, size and expansion rate of our universe. The image on the left, taken by Spitzer in infrared light, shows Delta Cephei, a type of standard candle used to measure the distances to galaxies that are relatively close to us. Cepheids like this one are the first rungs on the so-called cosmological distance ladder -- a tool needed to measure farther and farther distances. Spitzer showed that the star has a bow shock in front of it. This can be seen as the red arc shape to the left of the star, which is depicted in blue-green (the colors have been assigned to specific infrared wavelengths we can't see with our eyes). The presence of the bow shock told astronomers that Delta Cephei must have a wind that is forming the shock. This wind is made up of gas and dust blowing off the star. Before this finding, there was no direct proof that Cepheid stars could lose mass, or shrink. The finding is important because the loss of mass around a Cepheid can obscure the star's light, making it appear brighter in infrared observations, and dimmer in visible light, than it really is. This, in turn, affects calculations of how far away the star is. Even tiny inaccuracies in such distant measurements can cause the whole cosmological distance ladder to come unhinged. The diagram on the right illustrates how Delta Cephei's bow shock was formed. As the star speeds along through space, its wind hits interstellar gas and dust, causing it to pile up in the bow shock. A companion star to Delta Cephei, seen just below it, is lighting up the region, allowing Spitzer to better see the region. By examining the structure of the bow shock, astronomers were able to calculate how fast the star is losing mass. In this image, infrared light captured by the infrared array camera is blue and blue-green (3.6- and 4.5-micron light is blue and 8.0-micron light is blue-green). Infrared light captured by the multiband imaging photometer is colored green and red (24-micron light is green and 70-micron light is red). Star > Evolutionary Stage > Black Hole Buckyballs in Space NASAs Spitzer Space Telescope has detected buckyballs - intriguing, miniature-soccer-ball-shaped molecules - in interstellar space for the first time. With these new results, the buckyball claims the record for the largest molecule ever discovered floating between the stars. This artists conception shows buckyballs floating in interstellar space, near a region of current star-formation. Extragalactic Space Balls For the first time, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has detected little spheres of carbon, called buckyballs, in a galaxy beyond our Milky Way galaxy. The space balls were detected in a dying star, called a planetary nebula, within the nearby galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud. What's more, huge quantities were found -- the equivalent in mass to 15 of our moons. An infrared photo of the Small Magellanic Cloud taken by Spitzer is shown here in this artist's illustration, with two callouts. The middle callout shows a magnified view of an example of a planetary nebula, and the right callout shows an even further magnified depiction of buckyballs, which consist of 60 carbon atoms arranged like soccer balls. In July 2010, astronomers reported using Spitzer to find the first confirmed proof of buckyballs. Since then, Spitzer has detected the molecules again in our own galaxy -- as well as in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Star > Grouping > Binary Circle of Planetary Ashes This artist's concept illustrates a tight pair of stars and a surrounding disk of dust -- most likely the shattered remains of planetary smashups. Using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, the scientists found dusty evidence for such collisions around three sets of stellar twins (a class of stars called RS Canum Venaticorum's or RS CVns for short). The stars, which are similar to our sun in mass and age, orbit very closely around each other. They are separated by just two percent of the Earth-sun distance. As time goes by, the stars get closer and closer, and this causes the gravitational harmony in the systems to go out of whack. Comets and any planets orbiting around the stars could jostle about and collide. Spectral Signatures of Planetary Doom This plot of data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope tells astronomers that a dusty planetary smashup probably occurred around a pair of tight twin, or binary, stars. The stars are similar to the sun in mass and age, but they orbit very closely around each other. With time, they get closer and closer, until the gravitational harmony in the system is thrown out of whack. Planetary bodies -- planets, asteroids and comets -- are thought to migrate out of their stable orbits, and smash together. Spitzer's cameras, which take pictures at different infrared wavelengths, observed the signatures of dust around three close binary systems. Data for one of those systems are shown here in orange. Models for the stars and a surrounding dusty disk are shown in yellow and red, respectively. The disk reveals that some sort of chaotic event -- probably a planetary collision -- must have generated the dusty disk. Before the Smashup This artist's concept illustrates an imminent planetary collision around a pair of double stars. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope found evidence that such collisions could be common around a certain type of tight double, or binary, star system, referred to as RS Canum Venaticorums or RS CVns for short. The stars are similar to the sun in age and mass, but they orbit tightly around each other. With time, they are thought to get closer and closer, until their gravitational influences change, throwing the orbits of planetary bodies circling around them out of whack. Astronomers say that these types of systems could theoretically host habitable planets, or planets that orbit at the right distance from the star pairs to have temperatures that allow liquid water to exist. If so, then these worlds might not be so lucky. They might ultimately be destroyed in collisions like the impending one illustrated here, in which the larger body has begun to crack under the tidal stresses caused by the gravity of the approaching smaller one. Spitzer's infrared vision spotted dusty evidence for such collisions around three tight star pairs. In this artist concept's, dust from ongoing planetary collisions is shown circling the stellar duo in a giant disk. Star > Evolutionary Stage > Young Stellar Object Bright Lights, Green City Two extremely bright stars illuminate a greenish mist in this and other images from the new GLIMPSE360 survey. This fog is comprised of hydrogen and carbon compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are found right here on Earth in sooty vehicle exhaust and on charred grills. In space, PAHs form in the dark clouds that give rise to stars. These molecules provide astronomers a way to visualize the peripheries of gas clouds and study their structures in great detail. PAHs are not actually "green;" a representative color coding in these images lets scientists observe PAHs glow in the infrared light that Spitzer sees, and which is invisible to us. Strange streaks - likely dust grains that lined up with magnetic fields - distort the star in the top left. The fairly close, well-studied star GL 490 gleams in the middle right. The new GLIMPSE360 observations have revealed several small blobby outflows of gas from nearby forming stars, which indicate their youth. Such outflows are a great way to target really young, massive stars in their very earliest, hard-to-catch stages. This image is a combination of data from Spitzer and the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). The Spitzer data was taken after Spitzer's liquid coolant ran dry in May 2009, marking the beginning of its "warm" mission. Light from Spitzer's remaining infrared channels at 3.6 and 4.5 microns has been represented in green and red, respectively. 2MASS 2.2 micron light is blue. A Shocking Outflow This image shows an outflow of gas from a new star as it jets from a space object dubbed IRAS 21078+5211, among other designations. The reddish blob in its center, as picked up by Spitzer's 4.5 micron infrared band, contrasts nicely with the green PAHs that surround it. These telltale outflow features of young, hulking stars show up well even without the longer wavelengths available to the original GLIMPSE survey that ran during the "cold" segment of Spitzer's mission. These so-called shocked outflows ram into the hydrogen gas around them and make it glow - a bright beacon in the lonely outskirts of the Milky Way. This image is a combination of data from Spitzer and the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). The Spitzer data was taken after Spitzer's liquid coolant ran dry in May 2009, marking the beginning of its "warm" mission. Light from Spitzer's remaining infrared channels at 3.6 and 4.5 microns has been represented in green and red, respectively. 2MASS 2.2 micron light is blue. Space Balls (Buckyballs) NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has at last found buckyballs in space, as illustrated by this artist's conception showing the carbon balls coming out from the type of object where they were discovered -- a dying star and the material it sheds, known as a planetary nebula. Buckyballs are made up of 60 carbon atoms organized into spherical structures that resemble soccer balls. They also look like Buckminister Fuller's architectural domes, hence their official name of buckministerfullerenes. The molecules were first concocted in a lab nearly 25 years ago, and were theorized at that time to be floating around carbon-rich stars in space. But it wasn't until now that Spitzer, using its sensitive infrared vision, was able to find convincing signs of buckyballs. The telescope found the molecules -- as well as their elongated, rugby-ball-like relatives, called C70 -- in the material around a dying star, or planetary nebula, called Tc 1. The star at the center of Tc 1 was once similar to our sun but as it aged, it sloughed off its outer layers, leaving only a dense white-dwarf star. Astronomers believe buckyballs were created in shed layers of carbon that blew off the star. Tc 1 does not show up that well in images, so a picture of the NGC 2440 nebula, taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, was used in this artist's conception. Star > Circumstellar Material > Disk > Protoplanetary A Disk Around a Massive Baby Star Astronomers have obtained the first clear look at a dusty disk closely encircling a massive baby star, providing direct evidence that massive stars do form in the same way as their smaller brethren - and closing an enduring debate. This artist's concept shows what such a massive disk might look like. The flared disk extends to about 130 times the Earth-sun distance, and has a mass similar to that of the star, roughly twenty times the sun. The inner parts of the disk are shown to be devoid of dust. A Massive Star and Its Cradle This star-forming region, captured by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, is dominated by the bright, young star IRAS 13481-6124 (upper left), which is about twenty times the mass of our sun and five times its radius, and is surrounded by its pre-natal cocoon. It is the first massive baby star for which astronomers could obtain a detailed look at the dusty disk closely encircling it. The research provides direct evidence that massive stars do form in the same way as their smaller brethren. From this archival Spitzer image, as well as from observations done with the APEX 12-metre sub-millimetre telescope, astronomers discovered the presence of a jet, hinting at the presence of a disk. This was then confirmed by observations made with the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Interferometer. This picture was taken with Spitzer's infrared array camera. It is a four-color composite, in which light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns is blue; 4.5-micron light is green; 5.8-micron light is orange; and 8-micron light is red. Dust appears red-orange and most stars are blue, though ones deeply embedded within dust (like IRAS 13481-6124) take on greenish-yellow tints. sig10-009a The Evolution of Star Formation around the M17 Nebula A dragon-shaped cloud of dust seems to fly out from a bright explosion in this infrared light image from the Spitzer Space Telescope. These views have revealed that this dark cloud, called M17 SWex, is forming stars at a furious rate but has not yet spawned the most massive type of stars, known as O stars. Such stellar behemoths, however, light up the M17 nebula at the image's center and have also blown a huge "bubble" in the gas and dust that forms M17's luminous left edge. The stars and gas in this region are now passing though the Sagittarius spiral arm of the Milky Way (moving from right to left), touching off a galactic "domino effect." The youngest episode of star formation is playing out inside the dusty dragon as it enters the spiral arm. Over time this area will flare up like the bright M17 nebula, glowing in the light of young, massive stars. The remnants of an older burst of star formation blew the bubble to the left. This is a three-color composite that shows infrared observations from two Spitzer instruments. Blue represents 3.6-micron light and green shows light of 8 microns, both captured by Spitzer's infrared array camera. Red is 24-micron light detected by Spitzer's multiband imaging photometer. The Invisible Dragon A dragon-shaped cloud of dust seems to fly out from a bright explosion in this infrared light image (top) from the Spitzer Space Telescope, a creature that is entirely cloaked in shadow when viewed in visible part of the spectrum (bottom). The infrared image has revealed that this dark cloud, called M17 SWex, is forming stars at a furious rate but has not yet spawned the most massive type of stars, known as O stars. Such stellar behemoths, however, light up the M17 nebula at the image's center and have also blown a huge "bubble" in the gas and dust that forms M17's luminous left edge. The stars and gas in this region are now passing though the Sagittarius spiral arm of the Milky Way (moving from right to left), touching off a galactic "domino effect." The youngest episode of star formation is playing out inside the dusty dragon as it enters the spiral arm. Over time this area will flare up like the bright M17 nebula, glowing in the light of young, massive stars. The remnants of an older burst of star formation blew the bubble to the left. The visible-light view of the area clearly shows the bright M17 nebula, as well as the glowing hot gas filling the "bubble" to its left. However the M17 SWex "dragon" is hidden within dust clouds that are opaque to visible light. It takes an infrared view to catch the light from these shrouded regions and reveal the earliest stages of star formation. The top image is a three-color composite that shows infrared observations from two Spitzer instruments. Blue represents 3.6-micron light and green shows light of 8 microns, both captured by Spitzer's infrared array camera. Red is 24-micron light detected by Spitzer's multiband imaging photometer. The bottom visible light image is a composite of visible light data from the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) from the UK Schmidt telescope. The image combines two observations that represent the blue and red light from the region. Visible Light View of the M17 Nebula This visible-light view of the sky highlights the bright M17 nebula, as well as the glowing hot gas filling the "bubble" to its left. While young, hot stars illuminate these regions, the large dark swath to the right hides an extensive region of star formation that can only be seen outside of the visible spectrum. Astronomers using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have seen, in infrared light, that this dark area is forming stars at a furious rate but has not yet spawned the most massive type of stars, known as O stars. Such stellar behemoths, however, light up the M17 nebula at the image's center and have also blown a huge "bubble" in the gas and dust that forms M17's luminous left edge. This image is a composite of visible light data from the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) from the UK Schmidt telescope. The image combines two observations that represent the blue and red light from the region. Dragon's Lair A dragon-shaped cloud of dust seems to fly out from a bright explosion in this infrared light image from the Spitzer Space Telescope. These views have revealed that this dark cloud, called M17 SWex, is forming stars at a furious rate but has not yet spawned the most massive type of stars, known as O stars. Such stellar behemoths, however, light up the M17 nebula at the image's center and have also blown a huge "bubble" in the gas and dust in M17 EB. The stars and gas in this region are now passing though the Sagittarius spiral arm of the Milky Way (moving from right to left), touching off a galactic "domino effect." The youngest episode of star formation is playing out inside the dusty dragon as it enters the spiral arm. Over time this area will flare up like the bright M17 nebula, glowing in the light of young, massive stars. The remnants of an older burst of star formation blew the bubble in M17 EB to the left. This is a three-color composite that shows infrared observations from two Spitzer instruments. Blue represents 3.6-micron light and green shows light of 8 microns, both captured by Spitzer's infrared array camera. Red is 24-micron light detected by Spitzer's multiband imaging photometer. Star > Type > Brown Dwarf Cool as a Stellar Cucumber This image shows what astronomers think is one of the coldest brown dwarfs discovered so far (red dot in middle of frame). The object, called SDWFS J143524.44+335334.6, is one of 14 such brown dwarfs found by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope using infrared light. Follow-up observations are required to nail down this "failed" star's temperature, but rough estimates put this particular object at about 700 Kelvin (800 degrees Fahrenheit). In this image, infrared light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns is color-coded blue; 4.5-micron light is red. The brown dwarf shows up prominently in red because methane is absorbing the 3.6-micron, or blue-coded, light. Coolest Orbs on the Block This artist's conception shows simulated data predicting the hundreds of failed stars, or brown dwarfs, that NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) is expected to add to the population of known stars in our solar neighborhood. Our sun and other known stars appear white, yellow or red. Predicted brown dwarfs are deep red. The green pyramid represents the volume surveyed by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope -- an infrared telescope designed to focus on targeted areas in depth, rather than to scan the whole sky as WISE is doing. Spitzer found 14 of the coolest known brown dwarfs in this region, which is one-fourtieth the volume that WISE is combing. Astronomers think WISE will find hundreds of these cool orbs within 25 light-years from the sun (a region marked by the blue sphere). Nebula > Type > Jet Blobs House Twin Stars New evidence from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope is showing that tight-knit twin stars might be triggered to form by asymmetrical envelopes like the ones shown in this image. All stars, even single ones like our sun, are known to form from collapsing clumps of gas and dust, called envelopes, which are seen here around six forming star systems as dark blobs, or shadows, against a dusty background. The greenish color shows jets coming away from the envelopes. The envelopes are all roughly 100 times the size of our solar system. Two of the six star systems are known to have already formed twin, or binary stars (Spitzer can see the envelopes but not the stars themselves). Astronomers believe that the irregular shapes of the envelopes, revealed in detail by Spitzer, might trigger binary stars to form, or might have already triggered them to form. From top left, moving clockwise, the stars are: IRAS 03282+3035, CB230, IRAS 16253-2429, L1152, L483, HH270 VLA1. IRAS 03282+3035 and CB230 are the two known to have already formed binary stars. Infrared light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns has been color-coded blue; 4.5-micron light is green; and 8.0-micron light is red. sig10-006e Protostellar Envelope and Jet: L483 A young protostar and its signature outflow peeks out through a shroud of dust in this infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Stars are known to form from collapsing clumps of gas and dust, or envelopes, seen here around a forming star system as a dark blob, or shadow, against a dusty background. The greenish color shows jets coming away from the young star within. The envelope is roughly 100 times the size of our solar system. Astronomers believe that the irregular shape of the envelope, revealed in detail by Spitzer, might have triggered the formation of twin, or binary stars in this system. Infrared light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns has been color-coded blue; 4.5-micron light is green; and 8.0-micron light is red. sig10-006c Protostellar Envelope and Jet: IRAS 16253-2429 sig10-006d Protostellar Envelope and Jet: L1152 sig10-006f Protostellar Envelope and Jet: HH270 VLA1 A young protostar and its signature outflow peeks out through a shroud of dust in this infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.

Astronomers believe that the irregular shape of the envelope, revealed in detail by Spitzer, might have triggered the formation of twin, or binary stars in this system. Infrared light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns has been color-coded green and 8.0-micron light is red. Ground-based observations at 2.2 microns from the Hiltner 2.4m telescope at MDM Observatory is red.

Astronomers using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have uncovered two of these early objects, dating back to about 13 billion years ago. The monstrous black holes are among the most distant known, and appear to be in the very earliest stages of formation, earlier than any observed so far. Unlike all other supermassive black holes probed to date, this primitive duo, called J0005-0006 and J0303-0019, lacks dust. As the drawing shows, gas swirls around a black hole in what is called an accretion disk. Usually, the accretion disk is surrounded by a dark doughnut-like dusty structure called a dust torus. But for the primitive black holes, the dust tori are missing and only gas disks are observed. This is because the early universe was clean as a whistle. Enough time had not passed for molecules to clump together into dust particles. Some black holes forming in this era thus started out lacking dust. As they grew, gobbling up more and more mass, they are thought to have accumulated dusty rings. This illustration also shows how supermassive black holes can distort space and light around them (see warped stars behind black hole). Stars from the galaxy can be seen sprinkled throughout, and distant mergers between other galaxies are illustrated in the background. How to Spot a Primitive Black Hole These two data plots from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope show a primitive supermassive black hole (top) compared to a typical one. As the data show, the typical supermassive black hole, called J0842+1218, exhibits the signs of a surrounding ring of dust, a feature that appears at longer wavelengths of infrared light. The primitive object, called J0005-0006, lacks a dusty torus. These Spitzer data, along with other observations not shown here, led to the discovery of the two most primitive supermassive black holes known, J0005-0006 and J0303-0019. Both objects are about 13 billion light-years away. Usually, a supermassive black hole is surrounded by an accretion disk, which itself is surrounded by a dark doughnut-like dusty structure called a dust torus. But for the primitive black holes, the dust tori are missing and only gas disks are observed. This is because the early universe was clean as a whistle. Enough time had not passed for molecules to clump together into dust particles. Some black holes forming during this era thus started out lacking dust. As they grew, gobbling up more and more mass, they are thought to have accumulated dusty rings.

Q: Instagram Posts Filtering Not Working - Facebook Graph API I am trying to filter Instagram posts by type, but the API seems to be ignoring my "filtering" parameter. This is my request URL: * *https://graph.facebook.com/[PAGE_ID]/media?fields=timestamp,permalink,media_type,thumbnail_url,media_url,caption,comments_count,like_count,insights.metric(impressions,reach,saved)&filtering=[{field:"media.media_type",operator:"IN",value:["VIDEO"]}] I am not sure what am I doing wrong.

I decided I needed to analyze my negative feelings about the advertising that bombards us all the time and everywhere, and surprised myself with the volume of what surfaced. 1. Billboards. Ogden Nash told it well over fifty years ago. This problem seems slightly less bad now than when I first came to New Mexico in the 50s. At that time vast and gorgeous vistas of wide open space were nearly covered over with huge ugly signs. The worst of that is gone now, but we have a new thing -- electronic billboards with moving parts and sharply flashing changes of images, which are seriously distracting in city traffic. 2. The Fax Machine. The printer ribbon on the machine I once had cost ten cents for every page printed. Junk faxes were annoying, and then expensive. Unsolicited messages thirty pages long came in. I didn't believe the repeated message that said I could go to Cancun for $39.00. One day a lightning bolt [really!] took the machine out of its misery, and I never replaced it. 3. Junk Mail. A huge proportion of what is delivered is stuff I don't want to read or even handle. I was startled and pleased when the recycle program in our neighborhood announced that we could recycle "junk mail." They even called it that. It's as if we can recycle almost anything, except "liquids, organic perishables, explosives..." The danger now is that something important, like a credit card statement, can get thrown out when one is busy recycling all that other crap. 4. Spam. An even larger proportion of what is delivered by e-mail, even after the functioning of the impressive filter, is made up of messages I don't want. Easy money without working [always suspect], the size of somebody's genitalia, fortunes in Nigeria [send $300 and they'll deposit $1,800,000 into your bank account -- just give us your bank account number...] Again, an over-zealous use of the delete button can cause something important to disappear, if one gets carried away. 5. TV [and radio]. When I can't mute the ads, I get up and leave the room. The messages are poisonous; they spread the disease of greed. They lie outright and openly. Even the local TV news is not dependable. I used to be in the news, back in the old days. If the 1% of stories that I was party to are in error totally and every time, how can I trust the other 99% of what they say? Lying is the problem, I'm thinking. Information is fine. Who has what, where? Disinformation is not fine. I can remember when "false advertising" was a crime. But after all this, I'm left with this puzzle: How do I let people know about all these marvelous books we have for sale, without being the kind of pest I'm upset about?

Apple, Inc.'s Epic Face ID Fail: Not a Fail After All? If you were watching the live stream, you probably cringed. The very first action performed on Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) new iPhone X totally -- and embarrassingly -- failed during Apple's Sept. 12 product event. Or did it? After examining the logs of the iPhone X used for the demo, Apple says its new Face ID technology didn't fail, after all. Going further, Apple said it did exactly what it was supposed to do. Here's what really went down. But first, let's relive that uncomfortable moment. Apple vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi, couldn't have set up the moment to be any more awkward. "This is a phone we've been dreaming about for a long time. But the reality of it in your hand -- it's really something epic," Federighi said as he walked up to the iPhone X and picked it up. A live video of the iPhone X's display was then blown up on the new Steve Jobs Theater's big screen for everyone to see. "Now, unlocking it is as easy as looking at it and swiping up," Federighi said. In the same moment, the facial recognition appeared to fail to do its job. Federighi was locked out of Apple's long-awaited 10th anniversary iPhone. He lowered the device and his words stumbled, "...and, you know." He tried again. It still didn't work. "Oh, oh, oh!" Federighi exclaimed. "Let's go to backup here," he said. And he proceeded to embarrassingly enter the passcode to get into the device. Expectations were high for Face ID. Leading up to the event, the technology was heralded as a core feature that would set the phone apart from its predecessors. "Upgrades to core technologies aside, the new iPhone's crown jewel will be a 3-D facial scanning sensor that will unlock device and authenticate purchase -- an industry first," Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said a few weeks before the new iPhone's unveiling. Apple's Phil Schiller similarly hyped up Face ID before Federighi took the stage for the first hands-on time with the phone. "With the iPhone X, your phone is locked until you look at it and it recognizes you," Schiller said when first introducing Face ID. "Nothing has ever been simpler, more natural, and effortless." It sounded like a game-changing feature. Until it didn't work. If Face ID really didn't deliver a seamless experience for users, Apple would be at risk of a major public-relations nightmare -- and possibly even a drop in iPhone sales if reviewers acknowledged a poor user experience. But Apple investors don't have to worry. Face ID looks like it's a win after all. Daniel Sparks owns shares of Apple. The Motley Fool owns shares of and recommends Apple.

In 2017, 282,603 school children were being taught at under-performing secondary schools. Many of these schools are in coastal locations like Blackpool. Blackpool was an 'Opportunity Area' and whilst some school subject areas were being supported, nothing was in place for English and outcomes were a cause for concern. Literacy, reading, and oracy were also at poor levels in Blackpool and were impacting on achievement both generally and in other subject disciplines. A rapid intervention project involving a range of stakeholders was agreed. The Alliance for Learning Teaching School was commissioned to co-ordinate the project (October 2017). There were 8 secondary schools, including the PRU (Pupil Referral unit) involved and a financial package agreed over two years. Targets and expectations were made clear at the outset and an English Review Team was also established as part of this work Please click here to read more about this project

Federer focuses on fitness, not rankings Roger Federer (Getty) Federer blows past del Potro in Miami Kerber books clash with Venus No Tomic for Australia's Davis Cup tie with US Miami - Roger Federer's impressive return from injury has prompted talk of his possible return to number one in the world, but the 18-time Grand Slam winner says looking after his body is far more important than chasing the rankings positions. Since coming back from a six month injury lay off, Federer has won the Australian Open and Indian Wells this year and on Monday cruised past Juan Martin del Potro to move into the fourth round of the Miami Open. On the eve of the tournament his fellow Swiss player Stan Wawrinka said he believed Federer could get back to number one in the world, but Federer said he had other things on his mind. "It's not the priority. Health needs to be the priority. That's why if I were to get there again I have to really win a lot of big tournaments, and I know how hard that is. I tried to do it for the last five years," he said. "For me the priority is actually win tournaments at this point in my career. The rankings is very secondary. "That's why my schedule is going to be based on what makes sense for my goals of the season, staying healthy, and then also so I can enjoy myself and have a good sort of schedule with the right waves going through the season. "So as long as I'm healthy, I feel like I can play good tennis, enjoy myself, I can beat - hopefully - some of the best players in the world, or most of them, and win tournaments as well. I think I just have to be a bit more clever in terms of scheduling overall," he added. Federer is expected to take a break after Miami and his earliest return to court could be the Rome Masters in early May. The 35-year-old said fans would have to get used to him skipping certain events he might have played in the past. "Unfortunately, I can't do it all, you know. I can't chase the Davis Cup and the Slams and play all the Masters 1000s. At some point something has to give, unfortunately. "I wish I could do it all like when I was 24 years old. "So I think that's where I have to take some important decisions that work well for - well, me as a tennis player, but then also for my family and just for my whole team, that we get the work done, I get the rest that I need, but then also I play enough matches. "If you don't play enough normally you kind of lose touch of how to play break points, save break points, the shoulder gets rusty. Who knows what it is? "You need the right balance. I think that's more key than ever right now. I mean, it hurts for me, you know, sometimes in the future probably not playing some tournaments that in the past I would always play. Now all of a sudden I just have to skip them for the sake of my health. "But because it is for a good reason, I'll get over it," he said.

Genshin Impact for Android review: Overcoming design flaws with an amazing world By Jennifer Locke (Image: © miHoYo) Android Central Verdict Bottom line: Genshin Impact is a fantastic action-RPG that feels right at home on mobile, but its lack of controller support and level-gated quests drag it down. Addicting gameplay loop Interesting characters and world Fun multiplayer Touch controls are decent Level-gated questlines No controller support What's not good Should you play? Genshin Impact was an instant hit when it released in September 2020 and has since become ever more popular. With consistent updates adding seasonal events and new content, developer miHoYo struck gold, creating an evolving universe that allows players to jump in at any point and get in on the action. While it's available on consoles and PC, it can also be played on mobile devices. It's one of the best Android games you can get today, and it's entirely free-to-play (aside from some optional microtransactions you can buy into with the title's gacha system). Journeying through the fantasy world has its downsides, though. As fun as Genshin Impact can be, there are a few things you'll want to know about the Android version before you download it. Genshin Impact: What's good Source: miHoYo (Image credit: Source: miHoYo) GameNameXXX Title Genshin Impact Developer miHoYo Publisher miHoYo Genre Action/JRPG Minimum Requirements Android 5.0 and up Game Size 9.54GB Play Time 7 hours Players Single-player Launch Price Free What surprised me about Genshin Impact on Android was actually how decent the touch controls are. I normally hate touch controls, but Genshin Impact's don't make me want to pull my hair out. The controls are responsive enough that you can easily keep up with other people on PC or PlayStation via cross-play. It definitely takes some time to get used to them, though, especially if you're used to a controller. I still think a controller would be far superior, but Genshin Impact only supports touch controls on Android at the moment. It's important to note that I was playing on a Samsung Galaxy S10 as well, and you'll probably have more luck with its touch controls if you're on a larger tablet. For smaller phones, the touch controls could be more difficult to use properly. The world of Teyvat continues to grow, but the regions it has so far (Liyue and Mondstadt, with Inazuma inbound) offer diverse environments and enemies that keep gameplay fresh, and there are plenty of hidden mysteries to uncover that keep you exploring for hours on end. That said, I've played enough — at least on the PlayStation version — that I'm itching for new regions. Seasonal events are nice, but they're not always enough to tide me over. One of the best parts about Genshin Impact, though, is its cast of characters. There are dozens of playable characters you can unlock that each have their own unique abilities. You'll need these because certain elements are better against particular enemies. Mixing and matching your four-player party is the key to success. Unlocking some of these characters through the game's gacha mechanics can be frustrating, but it's also one of the few games where I felt it was worth spending money on microtransactions. Between the world and its characters, you'll easily fall in love with Genshin Impact. Every time I pick up a controller or my phone to play it, it's hard to put back down. And it incentivizes players to check back each day for extra goodies and rewards that can be used to unlock new characters and gear. Genshin Impact: What's not good Genshin Impact not supporting controller input on mobile is a massive oversight, and is even more unacceptable when it already has perfectly fine controller support on PlayStation. Players should not be forced to play an action-RPG like this with only touch controls, as nice as those touch controls may be. It's just not accessible for a lot of people. Because of the wide range of sizes and specs of different Android phones, your mileage may vary when it comes to your experience. Anyone with a smaller or older phone may run into trouble trying to play Genshin Impact. Anyone unfamiliar with Genshin Impact and hopping into it for the first time should also be aware that quests are level-gated. There are entire questlines you won't be able to start until you reach a certain level, and they'll sit in your questlog mocking you. It's a grind to level up in Genshin Impact because you'll want to level up four characters at once to keep your party balanced, and in order to level up your characters quickly, you'll be spending a lot of the experience boosters you earn. Genshin Impact: Should you play it? Despite any complaints I have with its mission structure and lack of controller input, Genshin Impact is still a ton of fun to play. If it looks like something interesting to you — whether because you appreciate the art style or you're a fan of action-RPGs, it's definitely something you should give a try. Genshin Impact is completely free to download and you don't have to spend a dime on microtransactions if you don't want to, so there's no downside to trying it out. Because Genshin Impact is a live service game, it's difficult to predict how it will look in a year's time from now. Everything so far that's been added has been fantastic, so that gives me a lot of hope that developer miHoYo knows what it's doing to keep players invested in the long run. Even without controller support at the moment, Genshin Impact can compete with the best Android games available. There's always new content being added that makes the game better and better every time.

You can find her posting pictures of her dog and obsessing over PlayStation and Xbox, Star Wars, and other geeky things. Is it "free" to play? Yes? Then, no, it's not a game everyone should play. If a developer really wants my money, then charge me a price for the game and be done. I will never support this pay-to-win garbage. It's an average game at best. And very few phones can run Genshin Impact properly, not even the iPhone 12 Pro Max which is on its knees within 3 minutes of Playing.

Attic and Button has always been a data-driven organization. Because of this, they consider analysis to be one of the most important parts of experimentation. They added Program Management to their experimentation program to gain the deeper insight with a wider reach that even the power of Optimizely X couldn't manage alone. Communication is vital across the development of an idea, but it's also important as you review and analyze your experiment results. Not only do you need to communicate your results to your team, but you need tools to help you analyze your results across your experimentation timeline. Knowing this, Attic and Button used Program Management to review their experiment results and track the progress of their experimentation for their team and their organization over time, giving them information about experiment progress and results they wouldn't easily access any other way.

I first met comedian Aparna Nancherla in 2014 at the "Beyond Bollywood: Indian Americans Shape the Nation" event at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.. She was performing stand-up and I gave a little talk that I bungled from lack of sleep. Afterwards we sat near each other at a bar and I said hello intermittently. In the intervening years she's become a rising voice in stand-up, both as performer and host, an increasing presence on television in her acting and voice work, and is a staff writer for Late Night with Seth Myers. We met up this summer in Cobble Hill Park near her apartment. Ashok Kondabolu: I always feel a little intimidated when I prepare for interviews, depending on my familiarity with the interviewee and what they do. It's easier with comedians, because I've been around them since I was a kid, and feel there's a common understanding to not take ourselves too seriously. Aparna Nancherla: I always wonder if people in other fields get stressed out for interviews, and what they stress about. Personally, I'm always trying to think about being serious and thoughtful but also trying to be a little funny. Why do you do interviews? Have you gotten burnt yet? Has anyone misrepresented you? I remember I did this short podcast with my friend Jacquelyn on depression. And then I did this BBC interview that was in the middle of the night because of the time difference, and they basically asked, "Do you think it's appropriate to make fun of depression?" It was a "gotcha" segment, but I didn't really feel attacked because I didn't find validity in their argument, at all. I wasn't prepared for it, either. If you could go from doing many interviews to only doing one a year without ever being misconstrued, that would be ideal. Yeah. But then there would be so much pressure on that single interview. My one interview fantasy would be a New Yorker profile, but that's a pretty common one. Well, yeah—I think it's because they really dig deep and hang out. I guess it's just the fantasy of hanging out with a stranger and being self-indulgent for days on end, and then just seeing what the person thinks of you when the piece comes out, what they didn't get or invent about you to make the piece more interesting. I grew up in the suburbs. My parents are both doctors who worked a lot, and my sister and I had a nanny until we were old enough to be home alone by ourselves. There was a lot of emphasis on doing well in school, but we also took part in some of your classic extracurriculars–piano lessons, dance classes… I would say it was pretty typical for a suburban kid. Were they funny? I don't know, I don't feel like I grew up in a funny house, like I don't think everyone was cracking jokes. However, I feel like my mom had, and still has, a sillier sensibility that we would bond over. She, my sister, and I had more of a fun side. They've always been very supportive of it. When I first started, they were the most wary of what [comedy] is. When I first told them I wanted to make a career out of comedy, they were like, "Are you sure you don't want to go to grad school?" But the more I progressed in comedy and was able to show them what I had achieved, they were able to see it as a viable thing. You mentioned in another interview that you think that depression is so widespread because industrialization has freed people up to think about themselves more. That rumination in our "free time" leads to depression. In another interview, you were talking about all the different projects you're working on at once, and how crazy that is. Do you think that being that busy is a response to avoid rumination? Like, being in Google Docs all day keeps you from ruminating on life? Yeah, I think it's definitely a way of escaping your own mind, to constantly be running around and doing stuff and having obligations to people. I have a mind that is always questioning everything. I'll always feel that the work I'm doing isn't important, in comparison with what other people are doing. Avoiding that part of my brain, for as long as I can, is really an effort. Do you feel like writing jokes or writing comedy is kind of like creating and then working on a problem that you can solve? There is something analytical about it, in that you can look at a joke a certain number of ways and tinker with it. In that sense, the process of writing comedy is a bit like constant engineering and re-engineering. When you talk about your depression, which you do fairly openly, what is a primary point that you're trying to get across? I think I first started talking about it for myself, because I was stuck in a rut and having trouble creating anything else. I thought, maybe I'll just write about depression because I have nothing else going on. I was surprised when I talked about it on stage and found that people responded to it in a way that made me want to talk about it more. But yeah, I don't think I had any agenda going in. Right, and maybe then there's the fear of getting pegged as like—oh! it's the heavy depression comic! You have one of the most distinct accents I've ever heard. I've heard it described as a drawl. I remember seeing that, too. It defies expectations in a way I think is really effective in delivering a joke. Have you found it to be an impediment, or a hidden weapon? That's a good question. I feel like the longer I've been performing, the more exaggerated it has become. It's not intentional, but I think that when I'm onstage I'm a certain version of myself, and when I'm offstage I'm another version of myself–each part has bled into the other. My accent is interesting because people always assume I'm from certain places, like the Midwest, but their assumptions are never right. What are some annoying, constantly recurring roles that you, as a South Asian woman, are asked to play? I'm always asked to play a terrorist, or a clerk, or a taxi cab driver… roles that are typically associated with men. There is a lot of stuff in the spy world, where you're the Middle Eastern-something operative, techie person, etc. The weirder ones for me have been when they clearly want a much older South Asian woman, like an MTA worker who is supposed to be an immigrant with a heavy accent, or some woman who works at a laundromat. I always wonder why I'm brought in for these blue-collar immigrant, "spice of the neighborhood" roles. I don't think having those roles is actually being diverse–you're still just operating off stereotypes. How do you feel about acting in general? To me, your role in Master of None seemed like a very exaggerated version of yourself. Do you have an interest in playing characters that don't resemble your comedy? Not as of now–I very much respect what actors do, as a lot of them put many years into their work, but I don't feel like I'm in that category. My acting is just a version of myself, and I'm happy to perform that if it fits what people are looking for. Do you still get nervous before performing? I do! I don't know if I'll ever not get nervous. I think I'm just an anxious person, but my anxiety definitely peaks right before I perform, whether it has to do with expectations or my tendency to expect the worst. Through therapy, I've worked on ways to handle the symptoms of being shaky and really nervous. Anxiety is something that I'm constantly battling with. Every performance is so direct though, you know? "So I'm gonna stand here and talk to you guys for 45 minutes in a row, and you're all facing this direction and I'm facing the other way. You paid money to see me, and I have to be good." There's a measure of confidence that you have to have. I feel like there are performers that very much believe that what they have to say is important and worth having people spend an entire evening listening to. But I've never felt that relationship to my work, where I would be like, of course you would hire a babysitter to come watch me talk for an hour. I read that you got into comedy when you were a psychology major in college. Is that accurate? Did you like standup when you were younger? Did you follow it? I think I'd seen standup once or twice on TV but I definitely didn't think it was a career you could pursue. I had somehow thought of the entertainment industry as another realm, where people who were Indian–people like me–had no access to. I really didn't know it was an option at any point until maybe high school or college. And then it was just something I tried. It was a response to going on depression medication for the first time, like this initial euphoric boost—I felt like I could do anything. That's the only reason I tried comedy. Otherwise, I can't even imagine doing an open mic if I wasn't a standup comedian. I came to stand-up without really having a hard definition of what standup was. It is weird. In New York, especially, it seems like as soon as you open a business there's automatically a comedy night, but I've never found it to be oversaturated. I don't know if it's different if you're the person coming to shows, but as a performer, more stage time is good. I've found I've enjoyed performing outside the clubs more, so I tend to prefer those independent, DIY shows to the comedy club. Why is that–do you think people have fewer expectations? Maybe they have fewer expectations, but I also don't think you should have to pay 25 dollars and two drinks to see a maybe-not-great show. So I think it's that expectations are lower, but justifiably. A lot of us might be working out stuff. Twenty-five dollars is a lot! Do you read your own standup show reviews? Oh no. I know a lot of people read all their stuff and Google themselves, but I'm always trying to run away from all of that. I already think about myself too much, so I don't need more ammunition for that fire. I just performed in London for the first time and I think that review culture is even bigger there, where people really consider reviews in what shows they're going to go see. I get that it can influence people's opinions but I just think it's always just one person's opinions. They didn't go to critic's school and get a degree. So, me and my brother do a show called "Untitled Kondabolu Brothers Project," which is improvised, freeform talking, with some structure in terms of the topics we discuss… But [the show] is not like a lot of comedy where you can gauge your success through the metric of clapping or laughing. So there's a lot of moments of self-doubt and feeling self-indulgent. Do you find that with some types of comedy that you do, its success can't be measured in terms of people's laughter? Sometimes if you do an event that may be more social-justice oriented or have a more "artsy" attendance, the crowd just doesn't laugh as much. You read it as [the show] didn't go well, but afterwards people will say, "I really enjoyed that!" and you'll be like well, they were attentive, they just weren't as vocal. I think that sometimes it's just hard to gauge [a show's success] by laughter, which a lot of comedians might disagree with. It's just that some audiences are a bit more thoughtful than others. Afterwards, people will generally say they enjoyed the show and that it was funny, but other times they'll say it was "interesting," which is the worst. I know! "Interesting" never feels good. Nope. But it's not because of disinterest. It's just one of those things where everyone was watching it, and I was so behind that I got overwhelmed and was like, I'll just wait until it's over and then I'll watch it. Shows like that are always weird, because they're so entertaining… and people are like, "Well, you know, it's supposed to be like medieval Europe," but then there are dragons, and magic… it's just not a real thing! I know–you could push the envelope with just reality, too. To some extent, that's always been the case with what we've been consuming. I'd like to think that people of color … have stronger, more functional imaginations, because we've had to put ourselves in places of the white protagonist so often in movies and TV, etc. I think that's true, because if you don't see yourself onscreen, you have to create your own version of it. We did grow up watching the Mahabharata and the Ramayan, which were awesome in terms of their production value, so at least I got a balance of some reflection of myself playing the lead characters. Do you feel like you stumbled into your career, to some extent? A little bit, yeah. I've always been someone who is bad at setting goals–that's actually something I've only been comfortable doing the past few years, being like this is a thing I want, and I'm going to put things in place to get there. My goal for a long time was simply to do comedy full-time. Now that I've been fortunate enough to be in that boat for a couple of years, [my new goal] is to create projects that are more in line with my voice, to be able to collaborate with friends and peers that I respect and enjoy working with. One of the things that I like about being in entertainment is having control of my own time. I feel like, for other people, it's like "I want people to look at me," "I want to feel like I'm liked," or something like that. I think my goal, on the simplest level, is just to do work that I find, one, worthwhile and, two, funny to me. Not everything I've created to this point I would love if I watched. I think being true to [my own sense of humor] is more of a priority than it was before. Sometimes, when I'm grinding away on projects, I imagine just making a few pieces of work that I'm happy with, that people consider to be "good art", and then heading off into the woods for rest of my life. New York City is so grinding and ego-driven and what have you done for me lately, who are you, should I know you… that I feel like being in this environment in my 50s and 60s would not be ideal. There's no center. Yeah, it doesn't feel like I could do this forever. I feel like a lot of my closest comedian friends are constantly tortured by why we even do comedy, and are always flirting with this of idea of quitting and–yeah–moving to the woods. Comedy especially, there's like this self-flagellation aspect… like you have nowhere to hide. It can be so confessional. Yes, the confessional aspect, and just needing constant validation; it's inherent in your career that you depend on a reaction. As I get older, I find myself asking, is this something I wanna be doing decades from now? I don't have that relationship with [comedy] where I'm stumbling on deep truths that everyone has to hear. So I've been reflecting on other ways to put out the same ideas. Because you're right, in stand-up especially, you can't do it in the woods. You need to exist in only certain cities to make a viable career of it. Right, because after a while, you just get tired of yourself as the product and want to be a part of something less overt. Exactly, because people's expectations of you play a part in how you express yourself. Especially with comedy, you can't divorce people's opinions of you from the work, because you're essentially talking about yourself. Yeah, without thinking of it as like a post. Exactly. What is your relationship with social media? I feel like I have the same struggle in my head. But for me, Twitter has also helped my career a lot, and afforded me opportunities I couldn't have had otherwise, so I definitely value it as a part of how I've built my career. At the same time, I don't feel a sense of loyalty to it in that I can never stop tweeting. It's a medium I've been pursuing for a few years, but maybe I'll cut back on it after a while. Like with anything creative, you want to keep yourself interested, too, not just trying to market yourself constantly for the sake of marketing yourself. Why do you think people always come to see comedy? I feel like there are those die-hards who just love comedy, but I also feel like the crowd has people who are outsourcing their humor and comedy needs to professionals because their friends aren't funny, or there's no humor being generated in their lives.

Q: Non-editable JEditorPane consumes Enter key I have an JDialog containing a JEditorPane for showing non-user-editable HTML content, such as Help and Release Notes. The JDialog has a "Close" button that is installed as the default button. If the JEditorPane is left "focusable", then the Page Up/Down keys will scroll through the document, but pressing "Enter" does not fire the default button. On the other hand, if the JEditorPane is set non-focusable, then Page Up/Down keys do not work, but pressing the "Enter" key does fire the default button, closing the dialog. @SuppressWarnings("serial") public class NoteViewer extends JFrame { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { final NoteViewer viewer = new NoteViewer(new URL("http://example.com/")); SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { viewer.setVisible(true); } }); } public NoteViewer(URL url) throws IOException { super("Note Viewer"); setSize(900, 200); setLocationRelativeTo(null); setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); JEditorPane notes = new JEditorPane(url); notes.setEditable(false); // notes.setFocusable(false); getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(notes), BorderLayout.CENTER); JButton close = new JButton("Close"); close.addActionListener(EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, this, "dispose")); Box box = Box.createHorizontalBox(); box.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue()); box.add(close); getContentPane().add(box, BorderLayout.PAGE_END); getRootPane().setDefaultButton(close); } } Uncomment the notes.setFocusable(false) line to see the different behavior. I would like the JEditorPane to process the navigation keystrokes (such as Page Up/Down), but ignore (not consume) the "editing" keystrokes, such as Enter, so that the Root Pane will invoke the default button. After much hacking and single-stepping, I've got the behaviour I'm looking for with this code: notes.getInputMap().put( KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0), "pressed"); but I am concerned that it is rather fragile. Do all platforms use VK_ENTER to invoke the default button? Do all platforms use "pressed" as the command-string to invoke the default button? Finally, it is going about it the wrong way: instead of the JEditorPane ignoring the Enter key and letting the processing happen in an ancestor, this is the JEditorPane explicitly handling the enter key, which strikes me as wrong. A non-editable JEditorPane should not capture all the editing keystrokes (A-Z, 0-9, Enter, Delete, etc.) and transform them into a warning beep, but rather leave them unhandled so that parent components get a chance. How can this be achieved in a general, non keystroke-by-keystroke input map fashion? A: Do all platforms use "pressed" as the command-string to invoke the default button? That is not what is happening. You are mapping the Enter key to the "pressed" Action of the JEditorPane. However, there is no "pressed" Action so the Binding is ignored and the event is passed up to the root pane where the Enter key binding for the default button is used. Normally "none" is used to indicate you want to ignore/remove the binding. Check out the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Remove Bindings for more information. So I would say you solution is correct and should work on all platforms. You may want to check out Key Bindings for a programs that displays all the key bindings for each component. You will see that there is no "pressed" action. JEditorPane actually uses "insert-break" to map to the Action. A non-editable JEditorPane should not capture all the editing keystrokes (A-Z, 0-9, Enter, Delete, etc.) and transform them into a warning beep, I don't have a "beeping" problem with a-z, 0-9. I do have a problem with the delete and backspace keys. I'm using JDK8_45 on Windows 7. Maybe you can prevent the dispatching of keys by using a KeyEventDispatcher. Maybe you check the source of the KeyEvent and if the source is the editor pane you only let the Enter key through? Might also need to allow the PageUp/PageDown events so scrolling will work. Check out Global Event Dispatching for more information. A: I think I just found a better way: set the JEditorPane as not editable and not focusable, and the JScrollPane as focusable. JEditorPane notes = new JEditorPane(url); notes.setEditable(false); notes.setFocusable(false); JScrollPane scroller = new JScrollPane(notes); scroller.setFocusable(true); getContentPane().add(scroller, BorderLayout.CENTER); The Enter key is forwarded to the default button. Backspace, delete and friends don't generate any beeps. Edit: Doesn't allow selecting and copying of any text, so perhaps not the best solution.

Forum Index > Off-topic Talk > Attaching jewels to a sword. Posted: Fri 24 Jun, 2011 2:09 pm Post subject: Attaching jewels to a sword. I've been thinking, how would one go about to attach jewels or decorative stones on the cross or pommel of a sword? I suppose one could always superglue them in place somehow, but I was wondering if there was a proper historical way of putting some bling on your sword. Look up "gypsy setting." Basically, you can drill a hole in the sword furniture, then press in a gold or silver tube. The gem is then fit into the tube and the metal is pressed around to hold the gem in place. Another alternative would be a bezel setting (your description is close to that) thin tube soldered/brazed to the surface that snugly fits a cabochon cut stone (extending slightly higher than the base of it, that is then burnished (pushed with a hard polished surface) over the stone holding it in place. This can be used to create a stud (solder the tube to a backing plate with a protrusion on it) that is then riveted in place (found on decorative metalwork around the C10th. And then there is also Cloisonné (where cells are formed and cut jems inserted then the cell wall burnished to hold it in place), such as this example of a sword hilt in gold and garnet from the Staffordshire hoard. Thanks, you guys. This information may come in handy.

The RoughRiders capped the season on a high note, setting a single-weekend attendance record with 32,184 loyal fans sending the Riders off for the final three home games of the season. "When people ask me what makes this organization so great, the first thing I always mention is the fans," Riders President and General Manager Andy Milovich said. "Leading Double-A in attendance for 15 consecutive years is no small feat and our loyal supporters deserve a lot of the credit for this great accomplishment. We've been eagerly planning for 2020 so we can continue to make Riders games the premier destination in the Metroplex for affordable family fun and entertainment." After another great year at the gates in 2019, each of the top 12 crowds in franchise history and 17 of the top 20 have come under Chuck Greenberg's ownership tenure, which began at the end of the 2014 season.

Iz, loudly and while sitting in a crowded lobby waiting for Leelo to finish his occupational therapy session: "I really love the part of the book about testicles, and how they're the heart of the whole sperm machine!" Once again I draw strength from not knowing a single person in the room. We've decided to take Leelo off his separate dose of magnesium glycinate, since he was taking a magnesium megadose specifically to complement his B6 megadose. His remaining multivitamin supplement contains sufficient magnesium to balance its B6/P5P. I am so very excited about his super-simplified new dosing schedule that I am posting it for all to enjoy. For contrast, here is his old dosing schedule.

With Follett's focus on improving reading, writing and vocabulary skills, and our vast library of engaging content that could truly support the ThinkCERCA model in an even more robust fashion, we believe the opportunities for educators are endless." Follett serves over half the students in the United States and works with more than 70,000 schools to provide educational content of all types, technology and services. Through the partnership, more schools and districts will have the opportunity to access and implement ThinkCERCA to improve student outcomes through personalized education. "We are passionate about supporting principals and teachers who work hard every day to ensure that all students can express their own powerful ideas," said Eileen Murphy Buckley, founder and CEO of ThinkCERCA. "As a teacher and a former district administrator, I saw the huge gap between available technology and what was required to teach these complex skills to all students in actual classroom practice. This investment, coupled with our strategic partnership with Follett, a trusted partner to so many schools, can help us scale our research-based approach to drive student outcomes, which is why we are so excited." With this most recent investment, ThinkCERCA will begin adding new features to its platform to enhance efficacy and ease of use, including resources for district-level administrators. Currently, the company's subscription version is used by 215 schools and 50,000 students in 25 states, and its free version reaches 17,000 classrooms serving 115,000 students across all 50 states and 112 countries. Designed by a team of leading educators and technology entrepreneurs, ThinkCERCA's approach is supported by decades of research that shows that achievement through cross-curricular reading, writing and debate leads to increased college and career readiness. "Years of intense focus on reading and mathematics left a void in our students' ability to write coherent thoughts," said Troy Barnes, principal of C. Paul Barnhart Elementary School in Waldorf, Md. "In just 4 months of implementing ThinkCERCA, we have seen a dramatic increase in our students' ability to make a claim, provide text-based evidence, establish sound reasoning for their claim based on the evidence, and address the counter argument while focusing on the audience. Students are now developing their writing using the CERCA model on assignments outside of the program. Writing scores on county assessments have increased due to our implementation of this program."

Actor Mark Ruffalo said he was forced to film five endings for 'Avengers: Endgame' because directors were so worried he would ruin the surprise. During an interview to American entertainment news portal, Ruffalo, who plays Hulk for the series, said directors Joe and Anthony Russo did not want him to know the ending. "I don't know what's going to happen," Ruffalo said, adding, "I shot, like, five different endings to this movie." He continued, "I didn't even get a whole script to this movie. And I don't know why. The script I did get had dummy scenes in it." Ruffalo appeared shocked by his co-star calling him a liability for the franchise, but Evans would not back down from his statements. Leaks in the franchise have come from Ruffalo a number of times, including one time when the actor accidentally live-streamed the first 20 minutes of 'Thor: Ragnarok' on Instagram during the movie premiere. He also accidentally spoiled the name of 'Avengers: The Endgame' in October 2018 while speaking on a talk show. The show bleeped the moment when it aired, but it created a hilarious exchange between Ruffalo and Russo Brothers on Twitter. Another spoiler happened when Ruffalo and co-star Don Cheadle were speaking on an American morning television show about 'Avengers: Infinity War'. Star Movies is hosting an 'Avengers Pop Up' on April 20 and 21 on their channel, which will air 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Avengers' before the release of 'Avengers: Endgame', which will open on April 26. Cheadle looked shocked by the statement from his co-star and exclaimed dude so he would realise his error. Ruffalo was able to pass off the statement as a joke, but people later wondered if the slip was actually a spoiler on his part.

Instead of fussing with hard boiled eggs and dyes, try making this vibrant yarn wrapped wooden egg that you can keep as a springtime decoration for Easters to come. Make a dozen using all of your favorite brightly colored yarn and felt! Cut out flower parts from sheets of felt. Be sure to cut enough flowers to cover each egg that you are making. Glue the flower pieces together. Start gluing yarn from the top of the Easter egg. Continue wrapping the yarn around the egg in a coil. Go slowly, pushing yarn up to prevent any gaps. Don't glue yarn to the base of the egg so it will stand steady on a surface. Glue the felt flowers to the egg.

• News Center • Medical Malpractice News • Driven to Action Driven to Action Birth defects have been a large part of Betty Mekdeci's life for nearly four decades now. In 1975, she gave birth to a son with birth defects some experts believe were caused by a morning-sickness medication she took during pregnancy, Bendectin. (Much, much more on this later.) Since then, she and her husband Mike have been active in the fight to research birth defects, identify their causes and do what's possible to prevent them. They also use their organization, Birth Defect Research for Children, to link parents of affected children with other parents who understand their struggles. In a recent conversation, Betty said she knows what it's like to be a parent in the dark about an ailment affecting one's child. "We think a family needs to know all there is to know about your child's birth defect," she said. "It used to be you couldn't figure out anything." Looking for Patterns Betty said her work with Bendictin taught her that there are often patterns in the occurrence of birth defects that can be spotted if you know where to look. "If you collect enough data, you could analyze it and you could quickly see if there was a pattern," she said. "If there was a distinctive pattern that was observed by researchers, then they would do the more highly controlled studies." The organization does this through what is called the National Birth Defect Registry, which she described as the organization's proudest accomplishment. There is no other database like it in the world, she said. "We have been able to do some remarkable things with it," Betty said. The Mekdeci's successes didn't end when Bendectin, the drug that likely harmed their son David, was taken off the market in 1982. Later that decade, they helped identify birth defects linked to Agent Orange exposure in the Vietnam War. More recently, they linked the occurrence of Goldenhar syndrome, a rare congenital defect that causes facial deformities, to service in the Persian Gulf War in the early 1990s. The Defense Department, initially skeptical, later verified these findings, Betty said. She said she's particularly proud of the work the organization has done linking paternal exposure to birth defects. This research is far less common than studying what a child is exposed to in utero through the mother. If the registry has the biggest impact on the broader fight against birth defects, the organization's Parent Matching Project plays the biggest role in the day-to-day lives of families affected by defects. It doesn't just link a parent of a child born with, say, a cleft lip with the parent of a similar child. Because birth defects often come in tandem with one another, the program can link up the three birth defects. This means, Betty offered as an example, that a parent whose child was born with Down syndrome, leukemia and a heart defect can find a family also dealing with the combined effects of all three ailments. "That's been very, very popular," Betty said. Betty's history with birth defects is a tale worthy of a book. It began with a drug during pregnancy that affected her son. Her crusade to get Bendectin off the market took her to courtrooms and government hearings. Now, decades later, the drug that changed her life is back on the market under a different name. A self-described "feisty" woman unafraid of a fight, Betty is sounding the alarm. Keep an eye on the The Oshman Firm blog for more on this in an upcoming post.

We particularly welcome petitions as one way in which you can let us know your concerns. We set out below how the District Council will respond to petitions that you send to us. What is a petition? We treat as a petition any communication that is signed by or sent to us on behalf of a number of people. A communication needs at least 10 signatories or petitioners before we treat it as a petition. Whilst we like to hear from people who live, work or study in the Derbyshire Dales, this is not a requirement and we would take equally seriously a petition from, for example, 10 visitors to the District on the subject of facilities at one of our Leisure Centres. What should a petition contain? a clear statement of your concerns and what you want the District Council to do. This must relate to something that is the responsibility of the District Council, or over which we have some influence the name and contact details of the "petition-organiser" or someone to whom you would like any correspondence about the petition to be sent. Contact details may be either a postal address or an Email address the names of at least 10 petitioners (can include the petition organiser). Where the petition is in paper form, this can include an actual signature from each petitioner, but an actual signature is not essential. Where the petition is in electronic form, a list of the names and addresses of the petitioners will suffice. 10 signatories is the minimum requirement and more supporters are necessary for some types of petition to succeed a petition in response to consultation on a specific matter, should identify the matter that it relates to, so that we can ensure that it is considered along with original matter To whom should you send a petition? Where you submit a petition in response to consultation by the District Council, please address it to the return address set out in the consultation invitation. This will ensure that it is reported when the matter to which it relates is considered. We have appointed a Petitions Officer, who is responsible for receiving, managing and reporting all other petitions sent to the District Council. Please address petitions to the Petition Officer. The Petitions Officer will ensure that a petition is acknowledged to the petition organiser. The Petitions Officer can also provide advice about how to petition the District Council or on the progress of your petition, at either the above address or by telephone. Electronic (ePetition) One of the easiest ways to set up an e-petition is through our website You can set up an electronic petition through our website. View information on how to set up an e-petition or look at existing petitions Referendum petition numbers requirement Regulation 4 of the Local Authorities (Referendums) (Petitions) (England) Regulations 2011 provides for the holding of a referendum on whether the Council should change to a different form of governance or an Elected Mayor. For this to happen at least 5% of local government electors within the District must sign a petition. Each year in February the Council publishes the minimum number of signatures which would be needed to support a valid petition requiring the Council to hold a referendum. (Local Government Act 2000) The number in the notice below will apply to any petition submitted to the Council from now until the new figure is published in February 2023. In accordance with Regulation 4(1) of the regulations the number that is equal to 5% of the number of local government electors shown in the revised register of electors having effect on the 14th February 2022 is 2,871 Dealing with your petition Within 5 working days of receipt, the Petitions Officer will acknowledge receipt to the petition organiser. In some cases, the Petitions Officer may be able to resolve the petitioners' request directly, by getting the relevant Officer to take appropriate action. For example where the petition relates to fly-tipping and the District Council can arrange for it to be cleared up directly. Where this is done, the Petitions Officer will ask the petition organiser whether s/he considers that the matter is resolved. Unless the matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of the petition organiser, the Petitions Officer will aim, within 10 working days of receipt of the petition, to provide a substantive response to the petition organiser setting out to whom petition will be reported to for consideration, when and where that will take place and inviting the petition organiser to attend that meeting, or be represented, and to address the meeting for up to 3 minutes on the issue covered by the petition. Whilst we are committed to dealing with petitions promptly, a petition will normally need to be received at least 10 working days before a relevant meeting if it is to be reported to that meeting. Where it is necessary to undertake a significant amount of work to collect information and advice to enable the matter to be properly considered, it may be necessary for the Petitions Officer to decide that the petition will be held over until the following meeting of the relevant body. At the same time as responding to the petition organiser, the Petitions Officer will notify the relevant Committee Chair and Ward Member of receipt of the petition. Types of Petitions Number of signatures Required; 10+ Subject Matter: Anything within the remit or sphere of influence of the District Council that doesn't fit any of the other petition categories Who will consider it: The Officer and/or Committee that is responsible for the issue raised. What happens next: Petitioner can address the meeting that considers the petition. Will be advised of outcome within 7 days. Number of signatures Required: 10+ Subject Matter: Response to consultation by the District Council on planning, licensing or any other issue. Who will consider it: It will be considered by the appropriate committee as part of the report on the outcome of the consultation exercise at the meeting when they take the decision. What happens next: The decision of the Committee will be recorded in the minutes. There will not, usually, be any avenue for appeal, except in the case of applicants for planning permission or licences. Number of signatures Required: Varies accordance with Statutory Requirements. Subject Matter: Petition allowed by various Acts of Parliament for things like a review of Parish Councils or a request for a directly elected Mayor. Who will consider it: It will be reported to the next available meeting of the Council, in accordance with Statutory Requirements. What happens next: Provided the petition is submitted in accordance with the relevant statute, the requested review or election etc will be arranged. For Debate Number of signatures Required: 700 (or 150 where the issue relates to no more than 2 electoral Wards). Subject Matter: Anything within the remit or sphere of influence of the District Council that doesn't fit any of the other petition categories. Who will consider it: will be reported to the next available meeting of the Council. The Petitioner will have an opportunity to speak for 3 minutes. What happens next: The Committee will make a decision or refer to matter to an Officer for decision. You will be informed of the outcome within 7 working days. Hold an Officer to account Subject Matter: To answer questions of a particular Officer on the conduct of a particular matter. Limited to particular senior posts.. Who will consider it: Will take place at a meeting of the Scrutiny Committee. You will be asked to provide a list of questions in advance and their suitability will be assessed by the Chairman. Petitioner will have opportunity to address Committee for 3 minutes. Petitions not accepted Petitions that will not be reported are: Duplicate petitions Where more than one petition is received in time for a particular meeting, each supporting the same outcome on one matter, each petition organiser will be treated as an independent petition organiser, but only the petition organiser of the first petition to be received will be invited to address the relevant meeting. This does not prevent any other member of the public addressing the meeting during the specific public time allotted at each meeting. Where possible the Council will inform each petition organiser of the duplication and provide details if we are able. Repeat Petitions Were a petition will not normally be considered where they are received within 6 months of another petition being considered by the District Council on the same matter. Rejected Petitions Petitions will not be reported if in the opinion of the Petitions Officer, they are rude, offensive, defamatory, scurrilous or time-wasting, or do not relate to something which is the responsibility of the District Council, or over which the District Council has some influence. Petitions relating to Planning and Licensing Petitions relating to Planning and Licensing matters will not be considered outside of the proper consideration of the matter. So for example a petition following a planning decision by the appropriate committee will not be considered as there are proper statutory routes for appealing such decisions and these are laid out in the appropriate legislation. Petitions relating to Data Protection Use of individuals' personal data including their email addresses will be protected under the terms of the Data Protection Act 1998 and will be held by the District Council only for the purpose of corresponding in relation to the petition submitted.

The trouble with youth is that it doesn't last forever. And as we age, our faces inevitably begin to wrinkle and sag. A skilled plastic surgeon can provide a more youthful look in a way that appears natural. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas McNemar is a facelift specialist in Tracy, California. Women and men from Stockton, Modesto, and beyond choose him for the attractive, natural-looking results he provides. (925) 967-2804 | (209) 834-0626 (San Ramon office) or (209) 834-0626 (Tracy office) to schedule an appointment. Many people visit Dr. McNemar for facelift surgery because they want their appearance to reflect their youthful energy, or they feel that their wrinkles and sagging skin are making them look rundown. One big reason that men and women choose a facelift is to regain their youthful complexion. It's not uncommon for Dr. McNemar's patients to send him thank you notes or tell him during follow-up visits how surprised they are to get comments like, "You look 5 years younger!" And unlike the results from injectable dermal fillers, this improved appearance lasts many years. A number of our patients appreciate that their facelift surgery can restore their facial contours and improve the appearance of their lower eyelids and cheeks. Dr. McNemar can create a more attractive and defined jawline contour by eliminating jowls and tightening portions of the neck. For the most dramatic contouring effect, Dr. McNemar combines facelift with facial liposuction. Age and gravity conspire to pull our faces downward. In some cases, it may seem that drooping is limited to the outer layers of the face, but most patients also have some degree of sagging in the tissue structures underlying the face as well. With a facelift, Dr. McNemar tightens the face from the inside out, restoring a toned look from the facial muscles, fat, and connective tissue outward to your skin. This procedure is well suited for younger patients with moderate signs of aging. It does not include rejuvenation of the neck. Because the aging process often affects more than the lower face, Dr. McNemar often combines facelift with other facial rejuvenation procedures. Brow lift raises a heavy browline and smooths away horizontal forehead lines to help relax what can be perceived as a stern appearance. Eyelid surgery reduces excess eyelid skin and pockets of fat for a more youthful, refreshed look. Fat injections restore youthful fullness to the hollows around the eyes, as well as the cheeks and temples, using your own fat cells. Laser skin resurfacing helps your skin look and feel smoother by treating fine lines and discoloration and spurring collagen production. Buccal fat removal can also be incorporated into a facelift. "Buccal fat" is better known as cheek fat, and for people who are predisposed to chubby cheeks, it can be a real nuisance. Removing this fat creates a defined, contoured appearance. During your consultation, Dr. McNemar will develop a customized treatment plan around the improvements you want and recommend whether one surgery or multiple procedures will be best. The concept of facelift surgery simply stretching the skin tighter to remove wrinkles is outdated. Advanced surgical techniques involve lifting and repositioning the muscles and tissue beneath the skin along the lower face and neck, in addition to removing excess skin. This is accomplished by "undermining," or separating the muscle and tissue from the skin. Dr. McNemar customizes each facelift based on his assessment of the patient's skin laxity and the amount of sagging in the mid-face and jowls. Dr. McNemar typically performs facelift surgery as an outpatient procedure using local anesthetic. Some patients may have the procedure performed while under general anesthesia. When performing the traditional facelift, Dr. McNemar carefully makes incisions along the hairline, extending behind the ears, where they will be easily camouflaged or hidden by the hair (see illustration). A second incision under the chin sometimes may be necessary. Some patients with less advanced signs of aging may be good candidates for a limited-incision facelift, or mini facelift (see illustration). After elevating the underlying structures and repositioning them, he redrapes the skin to give your appearance a more youthful, healthy, and rested look. Fat may be removed, as well. In some cases, Dr. McNemar may add fat to restore volume to sunken areas, such as the cheeks. The goal is to look like a better version of yourself – not someone different. Most patients are able to return home on the day of the surgery, although some prefer to take advantage of the extended stay unit. Each patient's recovery following a facelift is unique. Dr. McNemar provides detailed postoperative instructions to enhance your comfort and shorten your downtime. Your face will be bandaged after the surgery, and prescription medication can help you minimize discomfort in the first few days. Keeping your head elevated is important, as is getting plenty of rest. Dr. McNemar encourages patients to take short, slow walks to promote circulation, which helps minimize the risks of complications and enhances the healing process. Bruising and swelling should peak about a week after the procedure, with continual improvement thereafter. You should be able to return to work within about 2 weeks, wearing makeup to cover any residual bruising. Dr. McNemar is happy to share more about the recovery process during your consultation, or you can learn more by reading our Facelift FAQ. Within just a few weeks, you should be well on your way to enjoying a fresh new look. Incision lines should continue to refine and fade for up to 1 year. To minimize the appearance of scarring, it's best to limit your direct sun exposure. There are also resurfacing techniques that can diminish scars even further, if you choose.

This is going to be my first post of 2014. Sorry for not being very regular these days but then i've started a full time job in Medical Oncology. My first choice was Endocrinology but i'm learning a lot at Oncology dept. Have made some great friends. What an amazing start it has been. Hope the year continues in the same note it started. I was sent this bottle of wine from Four Seasons. I rarely drink except on events. Luckily had a Champange glass from gawd knows where . This was my Christmas Eve meal. Stayed in and prepared mashed poatoes,Chicken steak and boiled veggies. Serving suggestion: Enjoyed best at 16 - 18° C with barbequed red meats and game. Its spicy character makes it an ideal accompaniment to Indian cuisine. How Did You Spend Your Christmas 2013? I prefer white and rose wines to red. Will try out the Four Seasons wines. the cake looks yum... nice clicks! Congratulations on the new job, what a great transition into the new year. It looks like a good night, despite the staying in - must also keep an eye out for Four Seasons. that cake looks so tempting....lovely picks! Congratulations! So pretty and such a festive meal :) Happy 2014! Awesome, you've tempted me with your pics, loved the post. Happy New 2014 to you! lovely pictures !! :) congrats !

Tag Archive | o'neil All Hail The Queen For the last month and a half, I've introduced you to all 19 young women competing for the title of Miss Nebraska in LESS THAN THREE WEEKS. HUNDREDS of hours of service. THOUSANDS of dollars raised for charity. Most, if not all of these women, told me how much they've grown as people by participating in the Miss America Organization. You can see it in their pictures; the smiles on their faces as little girls proudly wear their crowns. Side by side with children and adults alike, who for a moment, felt extra special. Performing on stage in front of hundreds, cheered on by the people who love them most. THOSE are the moments that make all of this incomparable. But behind the scenes, THIS IS WORK. These women, especially in these final weeks leading up to Miss Nebraska, ARE WORKING THEIR TAILS OFF to be the absolute BEST they can be for this competition. In the studio. In the gym. They are making sure they are as aware as possible of the world around them and fine tuning their public speaking skills. IT'S GO TIME. At the end of the day, is it all worth it? The countless hours serving without a paycheck. The scratchy throats, sore muscles and tired fingers with the risk of no crown at the end. The stress of juggling school.. and jobs.. and duties as a local titleholder. Is it all worth it? This young woman says ABSOLUTELY. Miss Nebraska 2013 JaCee Pilkington One year ago, I compiled a slideshow for KETV.com showcasing the Miss Nebraska contestants. I asked each woman to send me her favorite photos and things about herself she wanted our viewers and readers to know. JaCee was among the first to respond to me. Her answers were articulate, her goals clear. She was DETERMINED to become Miss Nebraska. "Being Miss Nebraska is by far the most challenging yet rewarding experience I've ever had in my life," JaCee told me recently. "Although many have a skewed view of what being Miss Nebraska is really like, it is first and foremost a job. I managed to put 50,000 miles on my car and traveled everywhere from Valentine to McCook, and Scottsbluff to Omaha. I've made it my goal to touch as many individuals across this state as I possibly can." Did she accomplish that? See for yourself. JaCee invited me to check out her Facebook page and choose whichever photos I liked best. WHAT YOU SEE DOES NOT EVEN SCRATCH THE SURFACE. There are literally hundreds of pictures, snapshots of countless moments in schools, at events, with one child or 500, smiling, offering hugs, the list goes on and on and on. "Whether it was through my platform [Operation Remember Me], the Children's Miracle Network, or the Miss Nebraska Organization as a whole, I wanted to make this year about seeing Miss Nebraska as a real, tangible, down-to-Earth girl," said JaCee. JaCee says travel has been the best part of her job, learning what makes the state so special. ("Wilber is Czech, Stromsburg is Swede, and O'Neill is Irish. Just a little Nebraska trivia for you," said JaCee.) One of her most exciting trips came in September, when JaCee traveled to Atlantic City to represent Nebraska at the Miss America pageant. Click here to watch JaCee's 'Behind the Scenes' Miss America video! "Miss America was such a surreal experience," said JaCee. "I gained 51 other sisters away from the experience and friendships that will last. My favorite moment in particular was singing my talent on the Miss America stage. You hit that last note and look out and think, 'Dang, this is so freaking cool.' It was almost two weeks filled with excitement, anxiety, stress, and happiness all at the same time. I'm also elated to know the Miss America Organization is evolving as we've now crowned our first Indian American Miss America." SO LET'S SUM UP… months preparing for Miss Nebraska, then winning Miss Nebraska. Three short months preparing for Miss America, then competing at Miss America. What next?!?! "Miss Nebraska is by far the hardest yet most rewarding job I've ever held," said JaCee. "You are driving a majority of the time, by yourself, to an appearance that you just learned the name of last night. You are constantly adapting to the environment around you. Heck, one week I had to [revise] one speech, six different ways, in one week to fit each appearance. Although the job can be difficult at times, it is what you make it. You can be doing an appearance literally every day of the week if you want to be. However, it is your responsibility to put yourself out there, network your butt off, and make it happen. Nobody will do that for you." It will truly be the end of an era on June 7, when JaCee crowns the next Miss Nebraska. She's not only served our state for the last year, she also served as Miss Nebraska's Outstanding Teen 2009. "I'm feeling very content at this point," said JaCee. "It is sad, don't get me wrong. Who wouldn't want to say they're Miss Nebraska? I am excited to be moving on to the next chapter in my life, though. Right after I give up my crown I will be heading to Mexico to serve on a mission trip. Later I will continue to finish my degree at Doane College with hopes to continue in public policy and the business consulting world." Could we see Senator Pilkington down the road? (Prior to becoming Miss Nebraska, JaCee worked for Senator Mike Johanns and continues to stay active in local politics.) "I view Nebraska in a completely different light now," said JaCee. "To be honest, when I graduated the first place I was headed was DC. Now, I realize the opportunity Nebraska has to offer. You can make an incredible impact within this state and I cannot see myself anywhere else at this point." JaCee's got good reason to stay close to home; her little sister, JaLee, just graduated high school, she's got a sweet puppy at home to look after, and yes, gentlemen, she's got a boyfriend. She's got one more big trip on her schedule; to hand off her crown to the next Miss Nebraska. "I mainly want people to know how relevant and impactful the job of Miss Nebraska really is," said JaCee. "I understand that many already have preconceived notions about 'beauty pageants' but I can assure you that she's more than a pretty face. The women who compete in this organization are extremely driven, hard-working, intelligent, and compassionate individuals who are looking to make a difference in this world. I pray that whoever is blessed with this opportunity this coming month will take full advantage of all it has to offer: the connections, opportunities, and lives that can be changed."

Opening (and maintaining) a small business is a pricey endeavor. Most entrepreneurs have to take on some debt in order to get their business started or keep it afloat. After all, overhead, equipment, and payroll all cost money, and borrowing might sometimes be the best option to pay for it all. Unfortunately, debt can also seriously hurt a small business. Too much debt is one of the major reasons why 80% of startups fail within the first 18 months. This seems to lead to an untenable Catch-22: too much debt can kill your business, but avoiding debt can kill your business. So how does a modern entrepreneur determine the sweet spot for borrowing money? The first thing you need to ask yourself is just how badly you need whatever it is you're thinking of going into debt for. For instance, if you are opening a new office, is it really necessary to spend money on brand new office furniture? Or can you make do with what you can scrounge for free or very little? Holding off on a purchase until you have enough revenue to pay for it with cash is known as bootstrapping. This sort of purchase delay is common in household budgeting, but small business owners may find it a little more difficult. If you have a vision of what your business should look like, it can be tough to recognize that it will take time to get there safely. Will the Borrowed Money Directly Lead to Profit? If you are taking on debt for an asset that will generate revenue, then borrowing is a good idea. For instance, if you are starting a woodworking business, purchasing the power tools on credit makes sense, since you'll immediately start crafting salable items with them. In addition, using credit to purchase inventory that you know you can sell quickly can also be a good idea. This will leave your cash liquid, while still giving you the opportunity to pay off your debt and make a profit on your inventory. If, on the other hand, you are borrowing money to pay for something that will not directly lead to profit—such as payroll—then you need to be certain that you know how you will pay back the loan before you take it. What is the Debt Time Frame? A common mistake among business owners is the habit of turning to plastic to finance any hiccup. While there is certainly a place for credit card debt in the running of a small business, it's a bad idea to finance a long-term purchase—such as equipment or furniture—using a credit card. You are then stuck with the high rates on credit card financing. That means that you should get financing from a bank in order to pay for necessary assets that will be with your business long-term. Only use plastic when you will be able to quickly convert those assets to cash. My mother owned her own business for nearly forty years, so I know from personal experience that worrying about your business (and your cash flow and how you will find new leads and how much inventory you need…) just goes with the territory. Unfortunately, feeling worry in both good times and bad can make it more difficult to recognize when you really are in trouble. Low ratio of cash to assets. If you don't have much liquidity, you'll have trouble handling problems as they crop up. Low ratio of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) to assets. This metric shows how efficient your business is, and you can improve the ratio by either raising revenues or cutting costs. Low ratio of EBIDTA to long-term debt and interest expenses. Again, if you owe more than you are bringing in, then you need to find a way to raise your revenues or reduce your expenses. High ratio of liabilities to assets. How many of your assets are financed through debt, rather than profit? Reduce your debt to reduce this ratio. Low profits. This is defined as your net income compared to your sales. Find ways to lower your production costs or increase your high-profit sales. There is no one perfect approach to debt for small businesses. Being a small business owner means having to find the right balance of debt and cash flow for yourself. Ultimately, it's important to remain proactive in handling your business finances—rather than reacting (or overreacting) to every financial difficulty.

I can certainly relate to many things having set up my own business in 2012.

Meet HEAL's Founding Partners As Helping Every Animal with Love (HEAL) is poised to open its doors this month, we want to introduce you to our founding partners. You've likely already met our team through Healthy Tails, our mobile veterinary practice, but we'd like to share more information about the three incredible people who have devoted their lives to caring for pets and their people. In addition to cats and dogs, our team cares for exotic pets, which encompasses all creatures from small mammals and pocket pets, to birds and reptiles. Our awe-inspiring team has undertaken the healing of all manner of animals to preserve and strengthen the deep bond you have with your beloved companion, and we consider ourselves truly fortunate to help so many pets and their families. Let's take a closer look at how our team found their way to HEAL. Meet Nicole Dumas, veterinarian Nicole Dumas, one of HEAL's veterinarians, ended up working with Dr. Atkinson, who was her teacher in veterinary school in Trinidad. She considers herself fortunate to claim Dr. Atkinson as a mentor and close friend, and is excited to expand from Healthy Tails' mobile service to HEAL's brick-and-mortar hospital and spend her days mending animals and saving lives. Despite being a cat lover, Dr. Dumas does not have a feline companion at home. Instead, she shares her home with Jake from State Farm, a 4-year-old adopted American bulldog mix, and Felix Rattus Beans, a 10-month-old hooded rat. Born in Trinidad, she currently resides in Brooklyn with her husband and his family, while her parents and brother live in Trinidad. Dr. Dumas is passionate about wildlife conservation, and is a member of a conservation team in Trinidad that rescues, rehabilitates, and releases wild animals displaced in urban settings, and by natural or man-made disasters. Dr. Dumas is incredibly athletic and was drafted to train for the Olympics in swimming and gymnastics. Her sports adventures helped feed her wanderlust through travel, but she'd love to visit more novel places. She'd also like to own an exotics clinic in Trinidad and Tobago. Meet Kimberly Atkinson, veterinarian Originally from Queens, Dr. Atkinson knew since the age of 9 that she wanted to be a veterinarian. Her horse had given birth to a stillborn foal, and she wanted to help prevent another little girl from feeling that pain, along with helping animals not feel that sense of loss. She's accomplished her childhood goals by teaming up with her founding partners for Helping Every Animal with Love (HEAL), and through working with Healthy Tails. As Dr. Dumas so eloquently said, "We want to create a unique hospital experience by embodying the concept of HEALing, as opposed to treating." Despite being a veterinarian for more than 20 years, Dr. Atkinson still loves every aspect of the profession, with surgery her favorite part. At home, Dr. Atkinson is the proud mom of five pets—an unstoppable 17-year-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel who is the family matriarch; an aloof 16-year-old domestic shorthair cat who wants love only on his terms; a loyal, but sometimes naughty, 15-year-old goldendoodle; a 6-year-old Rottweiler, who is a big, softy teddy bear; and a 1-year-old Sphynx cat with the sweetest, funniest personality. Dr. Atkinson is also proud of her human children, a film editor daughter and a biochemist son. These three make a strong, tight-knit group, celebrating each other's triumphs and lending support during tough times. Some facts about Dr. Atkinson that may surprise you: She spent her summers growing up in a small Idaho town riding horses and living in the wilderness. She loves to make pottery and paint ceramics. She needs access to city life and wide open spaces to be happy, which is why she has a mountain-top home in addition to her Brooklyn spot. She has the hidden talents of interior decorating and building. Dr. Atkinson dreams about buying an Airstream and driving around the country, stopping to hang out and explore college places. She also wants to travel to Portugal and find her grandfather's family. And, like many of us, she'd love to shed her "pandemic weight." Our team is unique, but works marvelously well as a tight unit, serving the pets and their people in the Brooklyn community. Give us a call to schedule a mobile visit from Healthy Tails, or to set up an appointment at our brick-and-mortar hospital, HEAL, which is coming soon!

The tensions between the pride Herrick takes in his profession and his parental qualms about technology tug particularly hard when he sees his daughter, Lauren, and her friends texting each other instead of talking — when they're sitting 5 feet apart. Or when he hears a friend jokingly describe him as a "mobile arms dealer." At times like those, Herrick worries that technology may be having a corrosive effect on society, even though he feels no regrets about his job because he unequivocally believes that Urban Airship's tools are a net benefit to people. "You can't help but feel the juxtaposition," says Herrick, 44. "The power of this age we live in is that it has given everyone access to all this information and the ability to stay connected to people, but how do we manage it better?" It's a question besetting other technology executives, too. Many say they're trying to reconcile their fulfillment from working in a financially rewarding industry that they say has made life more efficient, enjoyable and affordable for people with their misgivings as parents about the addictiveness of devices and social media that now define much of daily life. Technology "can be like opening your refrigerator door when you are hungry and just staring into the abyss," says Keith Messick, chief marketing officer for Dialpad, a specialist in phone systems that incorporate voice controls and other artificial intelligence. "That's when I recoil just a little bit." He is especially troubled when he sees his own 13-year-old son mindlessly thumb at his screen. Messick also worries that the ease of texting and posting on social media is turning kids into poor communicators who write things they'd never say in person or in a phone conversation — on the rare occasion when they use their devices to make a call. "This is the world we live in," Messick says. He says he still believes that technology's "positives far outweigh the negatives." Yet 86 percent of the parents say they're very or somewhat confident that they have determined an appropriate amount of screen time for their teens. Slightly more than one-third of parents acknowledged spending too much time on their phones themselves, the survey said. The concerns about children's rising dependence on technology extend beyond parents. They sometimes also vex other relatives, like aunts and uncles. One of them is Apple CEO Tim Cook, who revealed in a public appearance this year that he tries to keep his nephew off social networks. The new tools, part of the latest version of an iPhone operating system released last month, can even be deployed to keep kids off distracting apps like Facebook, Snap and Instagram completely — or just at certain times of day. Google included similar controls in its latest version of the Android operating system, which powers most of the world's smartphones. Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom thinks that is a good idea. He is already vowing to limit his now-10-month-old daughter's eventual exposure to devices and social media as she grows up. "Obviously, like anything — whether it's food, or drink — moderation is key," Systrom says. "I think we are in a world where we have to develop opinions on what that moderation is and how to do it." Brian Peterson, Dialpad's co-founder and vice president of engineering, loves his job and technology, too — so much so that gave both his daughters iPads around the time they were 2. It seemed fine at first, because they were using the tablets on instructional apps that helped them learn things like playing a virtual piano. But then he started to notice that the girls, who are now 6 and 4, seemed to be spending most of their iPad time watching YouTube videos of other kids playing with toys or doing something else that he and their mother wished they weren't. "That is when we had our freak-out moment and said, 'Hold on a moment, no more of this drug,' Peterson says. Now, he has decided to hold off on getting his daughters smartphones until they reach middle-school age — or, even better, as presents when they graduate from high school and are ready to head off to college. "I am just praying by the time that my kids really need a smartphone, they have really good parental controls, Peterson said.

Our aim is that the children all have fun and become happy, competent music makers throughout their time at Brightwell. We hope to achieve this through the children having regular music lessons throughout the year. As well as their music lessons, the Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 children also perform a Christmas play in December and the Key Stage 2 children share an end of year performance. Year 2 children learn to play the recorder whilst children in year 3 and 4 learn to play the violin or cello and in year 5 and 6 some children have opted to play the violin. Tutors from the Oxfordshire Music service lead these sessions once a week. Children across all years have access to iRock lessons and children in years 2 through to 6 have the opportunity to learn to play the piano. A lunchtime choir is run by volunteers parents and KS2 children have taken part in the National Young Voices in recent years. Children in KS1 and KS2 take part in weekly singing assemblies as part of our Collective Worship programme and share these songs with parents in end of term gatherings at Church and Achievement assemblies. We use resources from Out of The Ark, Worship Workshop and Charanga to support children in their learning. Please see our current Curriculum Jigsaws on the class pages for further details of what the children are learning this term.

Another fabulolus Stencil Stars™ showcase. Every other week, we are sharing our customer's use of our Royal Design Studio mylar wall stencils and Modello™ custom stencils on walls, ceilings, floors, and more. This week's super STAR is Pennsylvania-based Tom Henman of Tom Henman Decorative Painting, a super talented artisan who applies stenciled patterns in innovative and unique ways in his decorative painting projects. Prior to starting his decorative painting business, Tom was an Art Director for a direct mail company until 2005, when he lost his job. A few years prior, Tom had attended a decorative painting demonstration given by artist Carol Kemery. He had dabbled in some faux painting in his home after her presentation, but then decided to seek formal instruction due to his job loss. Within weeks, he was signed up for an introductory course and knew instantly that decorative painting was going to be his new career. Since 2006, Tom Henman has been the sole proprietor of Tom Henman Decorative Painting based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He has attended some of the top decorative painting schools in the country, including a painting trip to Morocco with Royal Design Studio as one of our amazing and intrepid Peacock Painters. Tom continues to explore his new found passion and expand his clientele, which incidentally, includes his last boss. Sometimes it takes one door to close before a better one opens. Above, Tom creates a wonderful, well-rounded ambience with a lustery plaster on the ceiling and a Modello Ornamental Center stencil (OrnCen128) encompassing the room's color scheme. Below, a beautiful finish walls set off the three Modello Eastern Panel stencils (EasPan105) along the staircase walls. I love the idea of adding color and pattern to a wall or piece of furniture to personalize it. Wallpaper has not been a friend of mine, ever since I had to remove it from my house. Often it's difficult to find a correct wallpaper colors and patterns that coordinate with the room's color scheme, and it may be discontinued. That is where I find that being able to design a custom finish with coordinating stencil colors is a win-win situation. Plus there are no seams that can peel! Acid etching is a specialty of Tom's studio, after being introduced to the technique in a class here in our San Diego Studio. Using the Chippendale Molding stencil in vinyl form, he etches the design onto a Statuary Marble backsplash. The Carrara Marble below has been acid etched with a custom Modello® vinyl stencil with the center area gilded. Below you will see two bathroom vanities which have been transformed with a two-layer, two-color distressed custom finish. The Spring Time in Paris Stencil Set is then stenciled in with our Royal Stencil Cremes. Beautiful and unexpected! I know that this may sound crazy, but I love to work on ceilings! Clients often forget about adding a splash of color and design to the ceiling. It's funny how we install huge chandeliers in rooms, but the light bezel is only 6" wide… it just looks out of place. When I can show a client how their room can look with a Modello Design on the ceiling that is proportional to the light fixture, they wondered why they waited as long as they did. One of my favorite references for clients are Modello by Design Volume 1 and Volume 2 by Melanie Royals. The dining room ceiling above has an Eastern Motif stencil (EasMot125) in gold and silver leaf while the walls have a modified Modello Eastern Panel Wall stencil (EasPan114). Modello vinyl stencils are fantastic for areas with unusual architectural features, like the dining room below. For the ceiling, a Hampton Corner stencil was used with a nice lined design joining the patterns while a custom Modello® stencil was created it to match it for the back wall. The obvious answer is that I love Royal Stencil Cremes and Gardz. They are a must-have for any mylar stencil or Modello® vinyl stencil project. My real secret, however, is my MacBook Pro and Nikon D90 camera. I love to take before pictures of a wall and show the client how their room can look with a stencil pattern and finish. Sometimes clients just can't envision the final result. This usually seals the deal or shows us that we need to tweak the scale and design a bit more before the job starts. A gorgeous plaster finish in a powder room creates a great background for the two ornamental border stencils (Top: OrnBor157 and Bottom: OrnBor163) that were gilded in gold and silver. The kitchen below has a beautiful ceiling which is set off nicely with a glaze finish and our Modello Ancient Worlds Center stencil (AncCen103) nicely capping off the beautiful light fixtures. BIG thank you to Tom for sharing is stencil work and artistic inspiration with us. Seriously, we can't wait to see more! If you can't wait either, please be sure to see more of his projects on both his studio website and Facebook fan page! Super happy to have you here, Tom!
