8 years ago my miracle daughter was born, 6 months later she was discharged from the hospital with the recommendation I should put her in St. Marys for long term care because they thought she would be bed ridden. I brought her home scared and alone, with nursing care 12 hours a day. A few months later Heather showed up to start physical therapy with Kailee. I sat back and watched her patience and determination to get Kailee to walk. Kailee is blind and that made it that much more difficult to make it happen but Heather never gave up. She came 2-3 times a week and when she finally went on vacation to Florida with her family Kailee decided it was time. I sent Heather a video of my baby taking her first steps. All of this wouldn't of been possible without her determination. Kailee runs, jumps, rides bikes, roller skates, rope climbs, and takes dance classes all thanks to one determined Physical Therapist that today I count as a friend. I know that anything she does she will be successful in and you would be lucky to have her work with your children. -Lisa Having Heather treat my son, Rocco, was nothing short of inspiring. She is a talented and reliable therapist and someone who sincerely does her job because she wants to help. Rocco’s combination of physical, mental, and medical issues make him an extremely challenging patient for even the most seasoned therapist. Rocco was born with devastating neurological damage. As a result, he has no voluntary movement; is severely spastic; and has kyphoscoliosis. Additionally, he has a tracheostomy and a feeding tube. You have to be creative when working with Rocco and Heather was never afraid to think outside of the box. She was always trying to figure out new challenges for him and different ways to work with him. She would often go home and use her personal time to gather more information. I saw him do things I never thought possible. Every day I was so proud of what I saw him do. What a joy to see that someone was willing to help him so that he “can” rather than just say that he “can’t”. My son cannot communicate or play like a typical baby but that never changed Heather's approach. She made the treatments fun while treating my son with dignity and with a loving touch. She sincerely and truly wanted to help him and to help our family. The sessions would start with the warmest greeting. She then gave him the time that he needed to start working. Rather than having an expected idea of what he should or shouldn't do, she started every session by evaluating how much he could tolerate on that particular day and would then help him reach his full potential. It is a learning process to be a parent of a medically fragile and handicapped child. She worked with our family and our home care nurses to teach us handling techniques and activities that we could do. She helped to remind me that my son deserves no less than any other child. Heather has helped to advocate for Rocco’s needs and gave me endless guidance. She has become a friend and one of Rocco’s greatest gifts.

We use Windows 10 based PC’s that run DMX Control software using Aurora Afterglow and Enttec DMX USB interfaces. The software also runs various plug-ins, including the MadMaxOne software that controls the Verticolor LED panel matrix. We have one rack mount PC, one touch screen PC that’s mounted into a flight case, and a 10″ Windows 10 tablet that transmits the DMX data wirelessly to the wireless receivers in the trussing – flawlessly! The light show that is built into each PC is custom made, that took three weeks to pull together. Each device can control over 100 fixtures, and we’ve made it so much easier that even a child could operate the light show. In the image below you’ll see that each show is paired up to reflect the dynamics of the music… usually to reflect the verse and then the chorus – allowing the user to switch between the two. There are blackout functions, lights up functions, blinder functions, fog machines, and even functions to control the projectors on the far right of the screen. Welcome to the future!

Generally, I have seen that while many people have heard of iodine, not so many people know where we can find in in our diets, and what is does for us, so I was excited by the opportunity to write this blog. Iodine is an essential trace element in our diets and plays an important role in normal growth and development. Iodine deficiency is a significant public health problem worldwide (1,2). It effects 2 billion people worldwide, and recently prevalence in the UK has increased, particularly among adolescent females and pregnant women (3,4). In this article you can find out more about the function of iodine, food sources, iodine deficiency & prevalence, iodine recommendations & supplements, and risks of excess iodine.

As compared to childhood friendships forged during adolescence tend to be more meaningful and stable. During that impulsive age the bond we share with our friends matters more to us than the one we share with our own parents. The need to confide in people of age and count on during our hour of need strengthens that link. It is due to this sense of loyalty and comfort that teenagers spend a good chunk of their time in the company of their friends. However, such dependence can also have several downsides. Take peer pressure for example. Peer pressure and friendships are two closely knitted factors. While there is no denying the importance of good friends in one’s life these same individuals can become a source of peer pressure and make us try things unwillingly which we wouldn’t under normal circumstances. Eating disorder or anorexia as it is more commonly known is one such example where teenage girls always feel pressured to maintain their body image. Eating disorders and peer pressure According to a research conducted by Dr. Christopher J. Ferguson of the Texas A&M University, young girls are easily influenced by their peers especially when it comes to dissatisfaction with their bodies. Published in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence the research further states that “peer culture” develops eating disorders in teenagers, particularly young girls to a point where they feel pressured to keep up with the perfect body image portrayed in the media. Girls indirectly feel the need to compete with their close friends when they witness them follow a diet regimen to get that perfect look. In order to avoid feelings of inferiority for not having the perfect physique like their friends, adolescent girls push their bodies to the limit, which is when they start to develop symptoms of anorexia. Teenagers suffering from anorexia are prone to develop further disorders like genetic disposition, low self-esteem, and high levels of perceived stress. Another study conducted by Dr. Joan Costa-Font and Professor Mireia Jofre-Bonet of City University concluded that peer culture is one of the most significant causes of development of anorexia and inferiority complex among teenage girls. The problem was especially noted to be at its peak during Paris Fashion Week – a time when size zero models walk the runway for major fashion houses. Upon witnessing their ideal body shape dressed in designer clothing teenage girls were influenced to take up an unhealthy diet and workout plan to achieve that look, and in the process indirectly influenced their close friends to do the same. In a statement to Reuters Dr. Costa Font stated, “We found evidence that social pressure, through peer shape, is a determinant in explaining anorexia nervosa and a distorted self-perception of one's own body”. Parental Intervention It goes without saying that parental involvement in dealing with eating disorders is crucial. Timely measures can not only effectively curb the problem but can also encourage teenage girls to maintain their body mass index and live a healthy lifestyle. According to experts parents should keep an eye out for drastic changes in eating habits like excessive intake of vegetables outside of prescribed diet plan. Focusing on their daughter’s talents instead of her looks and avoiding any negative comments about physical appearance/clothes can also prevent teenage girls from developing eating disorders.

Venison backstrap can be so good when marinated over a day or two. Lots of people use milk and/or italian dressing to marinate. We love using orange juice. Take your pick. marinated backstrap egg wash seasoned flour oil for frying cajun seasoning Marinate the backstrap for at least 24 hours but not more than 48 hours. Remove meat from the marinade. Slice very thinly. Dredge in egg wash, then seasoned flour. Fry until golden brown, about a minute or two per side, depending on thickness of meat. Sprinkle with cajun seasoning when it comes out of the grease and is draining on paper towels.

For Black women, watching Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka quit everything has been nothing but empowering. Words: Jessica Morgan 30th July 2021 This week, American gymnast and four-time Olympic gold medallist Simone Biles withdrew from Thursday’s individual all-round gymnastics final in Tokyo. In her statement, the 24-year-old said she wanted ​“to focus on her mental health”. It comes after women’s tennis star Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open last month to preserve her mental health, a decision that drew criticism from right-wing commentators, who claimed that the four-time Grand Slam champion was ​“playing the mental health card to avoid legitimate media scrutiny”. While the pressure for athletes to bring home gold medals can cause a considerable strain on their physical and mental health, the pressure is even higher for Black women. Not only do Black women have to battle against patriarchy and racism, but also societal, familial and cultural pressures. For Black women, watching Osaka and Biles quit everything to put themselves first has been empowering. It’s a step towards rebutting against the ​“strong Black woman” trope and ​“Black excellence” terms that can cause imposter syndrome, poor mental health and unrealistic expectations. Below, we speak to three young Black women about what it meant to quit their careers to prioritise their mental health. Billie Dee, 31, East London “My mum is Trisha Goddard, the first Black woman on Australian TV. She has also had her own self-titled TV shows in the UK and USA. Growing up, I was always aware of my immense privilege – my parents made sure of that. But at school, if I didn’t get straight A’s on every report, even if I got a B, I was punished. My parents made me feel like I had no excuse. If I wasn’t the best, I was squandering my advantages and was called selfish. It didn’t matter if I was top of the class, my parents kept reminding me I was competing with the world. If my mum could become so successful with only a sliver of the advantages I had, I felt like I had no excuse. To achieve anything less than she did would surely mean my life was a failure. In 2018, I secured an £80k job at a top law firm. I was one of the only Black people in the company. Everyone knew who my mother was and I felt an immense pressure not to fail. I was great at my job, but I felt like nothing I did was enough. I started drinking and my mental health deteriorated. And if my performance at work dipped, I spiralled. In summer 2019, I had declined so much I felt I could barely function. I took two weeks off for my mental health. As soon as I returned to work, feeling ashamed, I handed in my notice. But I felt disdain from everyone. I felt guilty – my mother, through her breast cancer, her mother’s death and mental health issues, never took a day off. Quitting was the best decision. I’m so proud of myself for leaving. Prioritising my wellbeing over making money for people who ultimately didn’t care about me gave me a big boost of self-esteem and self-empowerment. Simone and Naomi, to me, are the exact role models Black women need right now. They are showing this generation that true power comes from self-love and that Black women no longer need to kill themselves for others’ profit, care or entertainment. They know they are elite, they know they are superior and that is enough. That is true Black power. I think they are amazing.” Teeyana Aromi, 27, London “I pursued a career in TV production after I graduated from Bournemouth University in 2016. It was a career I had always dreamed of since the age of 15 and I knew it would be the path I would go down. While a lot of it at the beginning was very tedious, I still enjoyed it. But it soon went downhill. I was treated unfairly and very differently to my white peers. I didn’t leave because I wanted to stick it out. And I did. I worked for various TV production companies and worked behind-the-scenes on one of Britain’s most popular talent shows. At one company, I had a boss who micromanaged me so much she made me feel as though I was incapable of doing my job. One thing I know for certain is that I am confident and able to get things done. I’ve always been a doer. My mum has always told me that I have to work ten times harder than my white peers and that is something that has always stuck with me. But I’ve had to defend myself in a lot of situations. A lot of the time, I suppressed my feelings and ignored the gaslighting. At one point, my manager’s behaviour would leave me crying in the toilets. I would bawl my eyes out before being able to address her email. I quit the job in December 2020 to prioritise my mental health and decided to quit the industry altogether. I had no idea what to do moving forward, nor did I have any plans. I’m now a content creator, but I have lost my income. However, I’d rather do what makes me happy and be in a place where I can be 100 per cent by myself and authentic than be in an industry and environment that doesn’t give a shit about me.” Melissa Reynolds-Lawrence, 30, West Midlands “Quitting my job was both an exhilarating and bittersweet moment for me. In 2017, I started my position as a part-time copywriter for a very small agency. I had seven years experience behind me when I joined – I wasn’t new to my craft. I was made to feel like a valued member of the team, but over time, it became obvious that this role wasn’t going to work out. By April 2018, I had had enough. I was burnt out, annoyed and fed up. I felt bullied at work and I was treated differently compared to my peers. My bosses claimed that I was ​“rude” and my body language meant that some team members found it difficult to give me feedback. When I asked those team members about this, they were shocked as they’d said no such thing. There was a complete disregard for my wellbeing at this time and it was making me extremely unhappy. I knew that I couldn’t afford to quit my job outright, so I started putting feelers out for freelance opportunities. Eventually, I secured a temporary position covering someone’s annual leave cover at an agency. I worked there for four days, made the equivalent of my month’s pay and then quit my job. The difference between myself, Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles is that I needed to create my safety net first. I had financial ability to consider, while they have wealth. However, I understand the pressure – they have to think about the possible impact on their careers, public perception and their reputations. There will always be some fallout when it comes to Black women and the actions they take to protect their mental wellbeing. We’re already up against the notion of ​‘Black Excellence’, no matter what industry you’re working in. There will always be a higher expectation and we’re not always celebrated for looking after our mental health.”

When it comes to bathroom design, it is hard to go wrong with the classic simplicity of black and white. Are you wondering how to incorporate this beautiful design scheme into your own bathroom? Read on for some fresh and timeless ideas. Contrasting Fixtures and Tile For maximum impact, try combining a sleek black bathtub and sink with the fresh, clean appearance of white tile and white painted walls. You can add a touch of elegance with a few splashes of gold or jewel tones in your accessories and décor items. Bold Patterns Do you want a bold modern look for your bathroom? Try patterned tile in sharp black and white, choose white marble with vivid veins of black, or invest in striped monochrome wallpaper. If you would prefer a darker bathroom design, you can go with a primarily black tile pattern, or install black marble shot through with pale veins. Whether your patterned room is dark or light in tone, you can accessorize with warm bronze or gold faucets and fittings. Simplicity If simplicity is your aesthetic of choice, there should be a variety of black and white styles to fit your needs. Start with a simple white bathroom and add depth with sleek black cabinets and black framed wall mirrors. A few pops of color in a vivid shade can provide cheer to your simple and beautiful bathroom. Metal and Shine There are several ways you can prevent your black and white bathroom from feeling overly somber or plain. Incorporate splashes of intense color or add shine with glass or bright metal. Consider silver faucets and fittings, metallic shower doors, or large wall mirrors in glossy and minimalistic metal frames. Your Bold Bathroom If you want to achieve maximum impact, black and white bathroom design provides a variety of options to suit your needs. You can try bold patterns for your wall or floor, add bright cheer through hints of vivid color, or simply choose the glamor and elegance of a clean, simple black and white room.

In a perfect world, artists and technicians would be just psychic enough to never need help, but in reality we could all use some support time to time. This document will help you decide the best source for your support and how to make the most of it. Who gets support? Users in the non-commercial forum rely on community support. While RenderMan support and engineers may visit the forum to help out as part of the RenderMan community, support is not provided to non-commercial license holders. Commercial users of RenderMan with paid maintenance have access to the commercial support forums. Site licenses and special projects may have their own forum to discuss NDA-protected content. We operate in a secure environment with air gapped workstations for sensitive materials. An administrator will be given login credentials for this forum, other users can be added at their request. We encourage studios to provide the right amount of users with access but not too many to prevent duplicate requests and general noise. Please help us keep this user list current to protect your content and value. Should you use a central login and password, know that users no longer at your facility may still access the forums with that information. Ok, What Do I Do First? If you have a problem we suggest you begin with the documentation. You can complete a search for topics, node descriptions, and more. If your question is not answered here, please come to the forum and take a look. Maybe someone else has had this issue. Don't see it? Ask away! It may be that we can add the general solution to the documentation for you. Once on the forum there are some helpful things to provide to us so that we can get you the best help the most quickly. Which Forum Do I Use? RenderMan ProServer: This forum is for questions and problems involving RenderMan features, performance, etc. Typically users running a render farm or rendering RIBs may have questions here. RenderMan Plug In Development: RenderMan is flexible and allows for the creation of plugins for custom solutions, pipeline tools, and more. For software developers writing these solutions, we encourage you to use this forum for questions about the API, implementation, and general troubleshooting. RenderMan for Houdini: This forum is for users seeking help using RenderMan through Houdini RenderMan for Maya: This forum is for users seeking help using RenderMan through Maya RenderMan for Katana: This forum is for users seeking help using RenderMan through Katana There may be some overlap in your topics, if we feel it may be better served in another area we may move the post for you or suggest you make another post somewhere else to further refine a problem. Can't I Just Email You? Our forum is designed to tie into our triage and ticketing system. Even if you were to email us, we will likely request you create a forum thread anyway. This way we can track a problem, compare it, and share it with engineers more easily than forwarding a mess of emails. Does My Thread Go Into Purgatory? Of course not! We handle multiple requests at a time and triage these based on several criteria (we'll get to that shortly). This may mean you won't see an immediate reply, but rest assured we take time to go through the forums and look at each and every commercial forum thread. We then create tickets to follow up and investigate issues. There are ways to speed up this process that will be described below. How Is My Problem Classified? There are a few categories that your request will probably fall into and this will determine the type of support and requested materials. A bug: This is something that doesn't work as it should, creates garbage results, or simply fails to work. An artifact: This may be a visual result of a bug or possibly a misuse of a parameter or option. We can help you determine which. A performance problem: Maybe you updated recently and older scenes are suddenly performing poorly, or a feature you've used before is not working as well as you'd expect. This can be the result of a bug, misuse of a parameter, a regression, sub-optimal choices in a plugin, or deprecation of a feature you might have missed. A feature request: Please note that we do track and collect feature requests. Making the software better relies on listening to the user! If you require a feature then this may be the place to begin the discussion but note that feature changes and additions are based on the feedback we get from all our customers and that custom solutions fall into the category of consultation and not support. Please contact us directly for these projects, maybe we can work on a solution with you or maybe we have one nearly ready we can refine with your help! How Can I Get the Fastest Response? We understand that extracting examples and scenes from a pipeline to deliver to support can be time consuming, especially for complex scenes, but we recommend that you attempt to do so. Without a reproducible example we'll be making guesses and that's not good for your production. Of course it goes without saying we need a useful description of the problem. Below are some hints on how to get the best service: Describe the problem to us: Looking at the above classifications, what type of issue are you having? Is it deterministic? (Does it happen every time without exception?) Or is it random but consistent enough to try and isolate the workflow? ("It crashes about 15% of the time") What steps do you take to reproduce the problem? Can you attach an image to show the artifact? A simplified image is best but if you cannot do that and the image is under NDA, please contact us on the forum to get a secure FTP login. Is the performance problem on a non-trivial scene? (Something that takes quite a few minutes to render.) What was the performance you expected? What was the historical result you've had before? Details about your environment are also useful, is this Linux? Windows? What version of the Operating System are you using? What other tools? The version of RenderMan and the plugin used to generate the file? Did you try a different or newer version? Common files we may request (in no particular order) A RIB file: This exported file should be renderable from a self-contained package if at all possible. You may use "find and replace" in a text editor to create relative file paths in the ASCII RIB file and then .zip it up. We can then extract the archive and simply render to see what you're seeing. A file from the bridge product: Maybe you have a UI error in Maya or a connection seems to fail to export in Katana. A simplified example from the product with the needed parts to reproduce it will help us find the problem. A render log, you may increase the verbosity settings for rendering and render again, you can then provide us with this report. Please note that stack traces are nice but a reproducible example is typically required. The .xml render stats. Especially for performance issues, this might help us further refine the problem areas and expected results. Any additional files we may ask for later if in our investigation we find we're missing something useful like a particular python tool, OpenVDB assets, or plugin code you own. After looking at this list and example issues, you may be able to get away with more or less data based on your problem and we always encourage you to create an example using the least amount of objects at a time. If you can show us the problem with a sphere on a plane then that's great! If not, then we understand, it just may take us some more time and a little back and forth to be sure we have the right issue reproduced. Problems that are easy to reproduce, visualize, and share will typically get you the quickest response. We understand that in production you might feel compelled to go fishing on the forum by asking, "Has anyone seen this...?" hoping for a quick solution but this is reasonably rare for most cases and you may end up trying multiple suggestions to no effect which may waste valuable production time and frustrate the artist. Ok, You Have My Files, Now What? Once you've posted to the forums, we go through a triage process. You may wonder what this is like so here's a simple explanation: At scheduled times we will go through the commercial forums, every new thread, and either answer a thread immediately if the answer is known to us already or assign it a ticket to evaluate the problem. If you've described the problem with enough detail and have added the necessary files to identify and reproduce the problem, it typically goes right to an engineer to diagnose. This process may take some time based on the complexity of the problem, the current log of issues, and more. Even if we can identify a problem immediately, we may spend time trying to find the best response. We are interested in correctly engineering a solution rather than a quick patch to a hole somewhere. In some cases we may need to work with you if the fix requires a behavior change of the renderer or an API change. We may also ask for more files or data as we progress. The ticket will be put on wait until we hear back from you. You may have been given this ticket number or you may request it. This is so you can reference the problem in our system later if you need to. However, the forum will track the issue with the thread itself, so having the ticket is a convenience for you later should you need to revisit the problem in the future. Once we have a solution we should follow up with you on when you should see this, usually the next point release for most fixes. For complex issues with a current solution or workaround we may move the final solution to a major version, such an example is something that requires an API change. The Producer Is At My Door With a Pitchfork and I Can Hear Clients Gathering Once in awhile a problem arises at the worst possible time. Do you have a delivery 20 minutes ago? We understand what this is like. Please tell us that this issue is a showstopper and rate the critical nature of the issue. This helps us re-prioritize your support and possibly look at other solutions as a stopgap to get your project complete on time. This may involve some unsavory temporary hacks, but we will alert you to the nature of our temporary solution and its drawbacks. We can then implement a true solution for your problem in the near future but you will be able to deliver. Please don't delay in seeking help for persistent problems! While we expect you will troubleshoot on your own (maybe 15 minutes of massaging a scene solves it instead of 4 days of forum exploration) some issues may be too complex for you to solve and we have no interest in seeing users suffer. Internally you should triage your issues and decide what it most important and what you cannot solve on your own. Even if you suspect user error but cannot verify it, we may be able to help you determine the cause. In the event it is user error, maybe we can clarify the correct workflow in the documentation or add safeguards to the software to avoid this in the future. How Can I Check What's Been Fixed or Changed? Maybe you're a version or two behind and want to see if something you're struggling with was addressed recently, head on over to the release notes and see! Support That Matters At the end of each day we hope you can go home on time and look forward to another day of creating, solving artistic challenges, and knowing the tools are there to support you and your goals. We're excited to see the amazing work you produce using RenderMan and the awards and accolades our customers have earned over the last 30 years inspires us to continue to do more–with our customers. -The RenderMan Team Post Script For those of you wondering about this development process from Pixar to you, maybe this fun beer example will help (because beer always helps) Imagine you've made the best automatic beer delivery system for your home. At the touch of a button a machine brings you a frosty bottle from the fridge to the livingroom. I think you can agree that such an invention would be in high demand! Well, sure enough your friends come over to visit and they get to see it in action. Wow! Can they get one too?! Sure, you say. You'll get started on that. But wait, one of your friends buys beer in a can, not a bottle. Can you make that work? Another friend has his seating area upstairs, can this deliver beer up a flight of steps? A different friend has a side by side fridge, so his beer is on a different shelf, what about that? A friend of a friend doesn't drink beer, can it deliver milk? Oh, well...ok that gets kind of complicated doesn't it? What's happened is you've gone from a very specific pipeline problem (your fridge to your couch) to needing a general solution (whatever beverage to whatever area in houses of different sizes and arrangements). This requires much more research and development to come up with a useful and robust solution to as many scenarios as you can imagine! So many options, so many details, so many requests! This may give you a bit of insight into the world of software development. If you're an artist you may be able to use this example to understand how our partnership can help provide the best overall solutions for artists everywhere and the complexity involved. But we love the challenge!

Today's post is a post that I've been wanting to create for a few months now as I've been getting quite a few messages about styling socks and sandals. This little styling touch is something I've championed for years upon years, I've rocked socks with heels, loafers, trainers the works since I was in college and it's never really been anything to me other than a styling saviour that I love playing around with. However, since receiving messages from you guys asking for some tips to make it work, it occurred to me that it's perhaps not as easy as I thought. It is classed as a "fashion faux pas" after all. So I thought I'd share some of my tips, using the questions you kindly sent in on Instagram Stories, for how to successfully pull off the whole socks and sandals vibe so let's get started. SHOES- ROCHAS, SOCKS- ACCESORIZE SHOES- ZARA (SIMILAR), SOCKS- HYSTERIA BY HAPPY SOCKS So first of all let's address this "fashion faux pas" lark shall we. In my opinion there is no such thing as a fashion faux pas, generally speaking. There's things that work for you and for me and not for others, that's just personal preference it doesn't make it a faux pas. I personally LOVE rocking socks and sandals and always have done but I appreciate this styling technique isn't for everyone. I've had a number of questions about how I find the confidence to rocks socks with sandals and the answer is to just do it. It's a trend that I feel really great in and I love seeing other people rocking too, which always gives me the confidence and the inspiration to style them up myself. Just bloody well do you, if you like the look, try it out, don't worry what others may think, as long as you feel fabulous that is all that matters isn't it! I've also been asked about slipping around in your socks and sandals combination and in all honestly I haven't had any issues with this. I think it depends on the kind of heels you choose to pair with your socks and as you can see from these shots, I tend to use shoes that involve a closed back OR a pair that involve lots of straps and a buckle so you're secure. I LOVE how styling socks with stilettos looks too (see some inspiration here), but as I can't walk in stilettos for the life of me, it's not something I've ever tried before but can imagine it's this style of shoe which has you slipping and sliding in your socks. SHOES- GUCCI, SHOCKS- HAPPY SOCKS When it comes to which socks to pair with your fave shoes it isn't really a case of anything goes. There is some method to the madness. Think about the colours of your look, are you needing a coloured sock to tie the whole look together? Do you want to clash your socks and shoes entirely? Are you hoping to inject some fun through a printed sock? Whilst your plain black and white socks do have their place to be styled with heels, I personally like to opt for something a little more statement from time to time. With platforms, I prefer to go with a thinner sock, often with a touch of sparkle, you can't beat showing off a lurex sock. Or perhaps something a little silkier or made from nylon like your tights; Hysteria by Happy Socks are my go-to for this style of sock. Going for something a little thinner and slinkier means they slot into all kinds of shoes and heels and don't bulk up too much. However, saying that and as you can see from my black and white checkered socks paired with my red Gucci platforms, sometimes a good ole classic sock that has been lovingly stolen from your boyfriends sock drawer can work wonders too for a really awesome geek chic look. In addition to Hysteria by Happy Socks, some of my favourite places to purchase socks are also some of my favourite high street stores including Topshop, Monki, Accesorize, COS and Uniqlo, I'm a sucker for those 3for2 sock deals... SHOES- AQUAZZURA, SHOCKS- ACCESORIZE I personally find that open toe platform heels work best with socks and this is always my go-to style of shoe for rocking with my trusty statement socks. There's something nostalgic yet extremely modern about this kind of look and it leaves me feeling like the best version of myself whenever I do it. This type of shoe and sock works really amazingly with all kinds of outfits in my opinion, whether that involves a skirt or a dress but my fave look is with jeans or trousers, especially a good ole pair of jeans. Paired with jeans, it creates a really great juxtaposition and a truly fun smart casual look. My go-to look for an evening out with pals is jeans, a cracking pair of heeled platforms and my trusty socks. Similarly with a well tailored suit, throw on a pair of socks whether they be brightly coloured, printed or a little bit sexier with a lace or fishnet finish, it's the perfect way to add some serious personality to the look. And if you're still not convinced, take a look at mens styling for this particular look. Men often wear a statement sock with a tailored suit and it works beautifully, it certainly shouldn't be any different for us ladies. Whether you're rocking socks with heels or socks with flats I feel there is certainly a place for letting your socks shine! Dress em up, or dress em down your fabulous sock collection deserves the limelight and I hope I've persuaded you to find the confidence to give it a go. And if you're still not convinced, here's a little mood board of some of my fave socks and sandals examples. Any more questions about this little styling sensation then do let me know in the comments below. x M 2 Comments Share This Post: Fashion 01/03/20 You May Also Like...

BUCKHANNON — One French Creek local was arrested following a domestic disturbance on Saturday, March 26. According to court documentation, West Virginia State Trooper Z. M. Lewis responded to an active domestic disturbance on Alexander Road in French Creek shortly after 5 p.m. While on the phone with Upshur County Comm Center, the victim stated that the defendant, later identified as Doy Richard Horner, age 50 of French Creek, had allegedly struck her in the head and she was currently bleeding. Upon arriving on scene, Trooper Lewis observed the defendant sitting in a parked vehicle. The defendant claimed that he and the victim were arguing about numerous things. After speaking to the defendant, Trooper Lewis entered the residence and spoke with the victim, who stated that she and the defendant engaged in a verbal disagreement about multiple things. The disturbance, which began as verbal, allegedly turned physical. The victim explained to Trooper Lewis that the defendant allegedly threw an object, appearing to be a metal plaque or trophy, at her forehead. The criminal complaint stated that Trooper Lewis observed a swollen area on the victim’s forehead, which was still slightly bleeding. Due to visible physical injury, the victim was seen by Upshur County EMS. Trooper Lewis returned to the defendant and placed him under arrest for Domestic Battery.

PERIOD PIECES. Clay structures document various architectural styles of past and present. TIME PIECES. Clay canvases record specific light rays complemented with shadows. Scaled as a miniature replica the piece addresses a building's existence and longevity. Each is fragile - each a subject of time. Lin Barnhardt reconstructs the Bost/Faggart Homeplace in his studio. Process Using information gathered from reference photographs, a proportional floorplan is drafted onto poster board. Side elevations are drawn to a dropped (or raised) vanishing point, thus creating a bird's eye (or worm's eye) point-of-view. Forming the one-of-a-kind structure in clay allows for corrugated tin roofs, fluted columns, and textured shingles. Once bisque-fired in the kiln, the sculpture is transformed into a three-dimensional painting.

Voters from around the commonwealth cast their ballots Tuesday to determine which candidate will represent the Democratic Party in Virginia’s 2021 race for governor, but the turnout dropped by about 11% compared to the 2017 primary. In total, more than 488,100 people voted in the party’s five-candidate primary, compared to 542,858 in 2017’s two-candidate primary. This shows an 11% drop and more than 50,000 fewer votes cast in 2021. About 8% of Democratic voters turned out for the primary, which is lower than 2017 when about 10% turned out to cast a vote. However, despite the numbers being low compared to the previous election, they are still higher than average when compared to the other most recent gubernatorial primaries.

When it comes to contract packaging, companies are increasingly looking to consolidate their code printing requirements. Requiring multiple devices to print onto different sized containers and different material types is costly and inefficient. Companies now need to offer a full-service solution to be relevant and competitive. When working with primary and secondary packaging, coding requirements may differ between the two, including printing on different substrates such as plastic, cardboard and metal. Traceability requirements such as visible, permanent codes to manage product recalls may be the same between the two, but code sizes will be different. If you are using multiple printers to achieve these requirements you could be wasting time and money. New packaging trends Companies also need to consider supporting packaging trends such as new substrates, packaging product shapes and sizes and environmental issues such as reducing materials used. For example, a product that offers “single serving portions” as well as the standard size potions will require a coder which can print the same information on different shapes and sizes of packaging. The information must be accurate and legible and permanent for traceability. It’s no use if a code can be smudged or wiped off a particular substrate. Keeping costs down Many contract packaging companies are introducing manufacturing techniques to cut costs and improve competitiveness. By implementing the right printing technology into your contract packaging business, you can significantly cut costs, keep competitive and offer more to your customers. With a single printing solution you can significantly cut cost in the following areas; Keep equipment costs at a minimum. Purchase and maintain a single coder that can complete all your required tasks such as primary to secondary packaging. Maximize efficiency. The production line is only as fast as the coder, so choose a coder with high reliability and long service intervals and which is quick and easy to maintain. Ensure you can switch product runs quickly to keep the production line moving for longer. Choose a coder with an intuitive and easy to use interface for quick set ups. Linx Coders Linx Continuous Inkjet printers and Laser Coders can print information, such as text, dates, barcodes and logos on a wide range of porous and non-porous substrates. This enables both primary and secondary coding with easy to use, easy to maintain printers, making your contract packaging operation more efficient and cost effective. Reliability: Linx coders are industry leaders in reliability, with long service intervals and robust design. For example, Linx CIJ (Continuous Ink Jet) coders have an enclosure rating of up to IP65 to ensure the highest reliability. They can be self-serviced in minutes with no special training required. Ease of use: Linx coders have intuitive interfaces which make it easy to select and store messages. Consumable changes such as ink or ribbons are simple and mess-free and can be done without stopping the printer, saving you downtime. Mobility: Linx CIJ printers can weigh as little as 10kg complete with fluids, making it quick and easy to move between production lines and set up for coding. Versatility: Linx printers can print in any orientation – downwards, sideways, even upside down with no compromise on print quality or printer reliability. Laser printers are recommended for advanced applications due to their any-orientation configuration. Flexibility: Linx printers are available with a range of inks or ribbon colors and types for most porous and non-porous substrates.

When I began using the Osmo+ I was baffled at first what this thing can do but soon the euphoria came to a halt because the material just didn’t look as natural as I’d like. Especially shots of cars felt weird as if something is wrong or missing. I even went through the process of viewing the resulting videos on different screens…This is where the story begins. Right now I’m testing different styles and settings and -prior- I’ve read a lot of opinions to investigate on the subject LUT development for the X3 Zoom without spending money on prefabs. Almost no profile provided satisfied my needs and if so the thing is just too pricey. Most of the supplied LUTs are even developed for aerial photography on the Mavic or the-like. Getting nowhere with the color correction stuff I headed out to try it on my own. How hard can it be to develop a self-made LUT anyway? We’re talking about color correction after all! After several tries I came to the conclusion that simply the base correction is key, while also taking care of the camera settings in the first place in order to receive natural looking, vivid colors with the camera. You can then go ahead and safely add color corrections to give the image a certain visual style as you prefer and not as the seller of the LUT wants it. Just getting the whole color spectrum right without applying any effects. So the ultimate goal is to achieve a safe foundation, a starting point for getting the most out of it. This means having your camera set up correctly. It is absolutely vital to produce footage that’s close to what you expect. No software can effectively turn bad source material to perfect cinema-quality videos and if it could, the rendering times are just terrible… So once more I’ve jumped into the car and recorded some footage to test out what works best. After this trip I was confident to have something to share with the community! Alright – first things first, here’s a comparison video where three different styles have been applied on top of the LUT correction and in the LUT applied without any effects. The first two clips are recorded out of the window while it was down, the other two are recorded straight through the windscreen: This LUT is optimized for best performance of the sensor which means shooting at ISO 100, 1/60 for 30fps and 1/120 for 60fps. In order to achieve that it might be necessary to have a set of ND filters handy. In this video for example it was necessary to put on the ND16 even though the Sun was just two hours away from setting. Keep in mind that the source material must be free of artifacts of any sort in order to achieve clean output. That’s something I forgot to take into account way back when I just started to use the Osmo+ Profile: D-Cinelike Saturation: +2 Contrast: 0 Sharpness: -1 Why Cinelike? Most of the information on the web states that D-LOG is the way to go but this profile produces weird artifacts like moireé and grain that can’t be removed easily. It’s just not right for the X3 in my opinion. You’ll get a 100% better results with D-Cinelike right from the start. Usually you would want to have the source material as flat as possible to have more leeway in post production. Unfortunately the sensor of the X3 doesn’t cut it with the D-LOG profile and what you’ll end up with it is just muddy material.
