I used the recipes below for all my previous posts. Some of the recipes came from cookbooks and some recipes were originals. For my crusts, I found some great recipes from the cook book Dessert University, by retired White House executive pastry chef Roland Mesnier.
Put sugar and butter into the bowl of an electric mixer. With the paddle attachment, cream together the sugar and butter. Mix in vanilla, lemon zest, and salt. Then stir in the egg and then add flour.
Take the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour to 2 days. Can be frozen for up to two months and when defrosting, put it in the fridge overnight.
Add the salt and 1 teaspoon of water into an electric mixer with the paddle attachment. Stir until the salt is dissolved. Add flour and butter. Mix on low speed until the mixture feels sandy and then add the egg and egg yolks one by one. Add the remaining water. Mix for about 2 minutes and don’t over do it.
Take the dough and split it into two pieces. Press both pieces into 6-inch disks and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour to 3 days. Can be frozen for up to 2 months: defrost overnight in fridge. | 2019-04-20T05:07:29 | http://www.sunsetmediawave.org/2016/08/potpie-the-crust-recipes/ |

In 2000, I heard the retiring senior pastor of the church my wife and I were attending announce that he would be the next president of the Rotary Club of San Diego. Since moving to San Diego in 1974, I had briefly been a member of another organization, but that club folded. At that time I was looking for a way to be involved in Rancho Bernardo, where I owned my own dental practice. As a dentist, you meet people who are patients, but you don’t get to know people in the community. At the annual RB Alive event in 2000, I went up to Rotarians who were in a booth at that event and inquired about how to become a member. After attending several meetings of RB Sunrise Rotary, I joined the club in August.
My initial reason for joining was to get to know people in RB. However, the reason I have remained a member of RB Sunrise is that I became very impressed about what I learned about all the things that Rotary does to make a difference in people’s lives around the world.
I was especially impressed with Rotary’s Polio Eradication effort. I went to dental school at the University of Pittsburgh. The dental school was built as an addition to the front of an old hospital where Jonas Salk did his polio vaccine research in the basement. I can still remember the fact that after the Salk vaccine was proven to be effective, swimming pools that had been closed because of the fear of getting polio were reopened.
I retired from the practice of dentistry 11 years ago. In retirement I continue as a member of RB Sunrise because I get to help other leaders in RB raise money and support projects around the world. RB Sunrise Rotary is a club that fosters community involvement and true caring for others. Most of us are involved in multiple organizations in the community. We all share, however, the common goal of Service Above Self. | 2019-04-23T12:17:24 | https://www.rbsunrise.org/Stories/why-i-joined-rotary-jim-dunny |

Do you remember the song "Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer"? There is a line in there at the end that says after the whole ordeal "... as for me and Grandpa, we believe." I had my believer's moment in 2001 when it comes to the supernatural.
My grandmother was in town during a rare visit. You see, this trip would be on of the first where she was able to meet up with her brother-in-laws. Father Frank and Father Jack worked in the Catholic church back home in Vancouver. They were all getting up in age but it was a time for me to get to see all of them in the same setting for the first time. My brother arranged a tour of the strip in a limo and we had a dinner at the Palace Station. It was during dinner that I thought to ask something that had been in the back of my mind for some time.
Dinner was already served and I turned to one of the fathers (my great uncles) and mentioned the recent re-release of the film The Exorcist. I asked him how he felt about the film. He said, "They usually aren't that violent. But you might want to ask my brother as that's his job." My jaw dropped. Sure, if I went to church and heard that, I'd expect it of someone that wasn't family... but not this. Especially with an answer with the calm demeanor of someone not phased by the question. I also didn't think the church would want him to be that open about it.
So, I talked to him for a little bit. He mentioned that he was being called out to a lot of nearby Canadian Indian reservations to help these spirits make their transition. When many of these cultures pray and praise the spirit of the wolf, eagle, dog, horse, snake, bull and all manner of beast, some get lost on the way. Anyhow, that is when he told me this story.
A man leaves work early and comes home to find his wife in bed with his best friend. The husband was shot in the process and died. The widow and former-best friend are now living together. It was after a few he moved in that things started happening around the house. The gate leading to the house would open and close (with no wind in the area.) The doors in the house would not stay shut. This would happen every time the new man of the house would come home. The wife was in a panic and it wasn't helping their relationship any. The father resolved this one rather easily but told me that sometimes a spirit stays in a place it held most dear and only wants to not be forgotten. Of course, my interpretation was that he was asserting his ownership of the home by reminding the 'man of the house' that it wasn't his upon his arriving there.
There are a lot of ghost stories out there and I've written a few myself. But, having confirmation from someone that works in that area for a living... helped me accept it more. Of course, I find many people have personal experiences with the supernatural. Usually, I just listen, smile and think back to talking with Father Jack and Father Frank Hennessy on a random topic and getting an answer that I didn't expect. I guess as for myself, the fathers and a few others out there, "we believe."
Don't let the haircuts and the unusual video make you question yourself. The Hoodoo Gurus' song I Want You Back is an example of pure pop rock.
The Australian band did a little better with their song, "Come Any Time," on the U.S. Modern Rock chart but I have always felt chart placement is pretty subjective (especially when one includes radio, doesn't include single, includes ringtones, doesn't include club play, etc...) Great guitar here, strong hook, personal lyrics and the answering backing vocal just rocks.
I wasn't able to really discuss what happened until it aired but now I can give an inside look at what it is like being a phone-a-friend. This was actually my second time. You see... you are allowed only 5 phone-a-friends to be listed when you are a contestant on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. You can only be a phone-a-friend two times in a season. To be eligible, you must be at the phone number (land line preferred) for the entire taping of the show. The production team call early in the morning in a conference call with all that contestant's PAFs (we'll abbreviate that from here on) to give instructions on how to answer the phone, when to expect a call, etc. And then you wait.
My good friend Daniel was on the Oct. 19th and 22nd episodes of the show (which was recorded some months ago.) The plan was to have a call center (with several of us in on one call) and a few other PAFs. Daniel and I set up a system for my house with a speaker-phone (with microphone taped) to be left in my bedroom near the computer while the person answering the phone would remain in the kitchen area nearby. This would allow all 3 to hear the question and respond right away if they knew the answer with the fall-back option of having one person on the computer that can search for an answer -- and relay it to the extra person over to the phone-man. Make sense? Ok, our plan had myself on the computer (because I type really fast and search for things constantly), David on the phone, Kevin and Dan's girlfriend Robin inbetween.
As you can see from the photo, that is when we got the call that Dan was in the 'hot seat.' We sent someone to let Robin know and patiently awaited the call while everyone got to their battle stations. The call came sooner than we expected and Robin hadn't come back yet. Everything went well up until we heard the question. None of us knew it off the top of our heads. That left David to searching, Kevin to run the answer to me and I needed to stall for time. So I asked him to repeat the question. Suddenly, I heard Kevin coming around the corner and I relayed it into the phone. I then heard a click. We regrouped at the computer and told them that it sounded like it got through. David wasn't too sure of the answer that he relayed, though. So I hopped online and searched for a bit. (You see, they told Daniel that they purposely write the questions so they will be hard to search for as they know it will happen.) We found we gave him the wrong answer.
Moments later, Robin returned and we told her what happened. In my head, I'm thinking... "Did I sound too sure that that was the right answer? I hope not." Well, if any of you caught the show, the phone cut off right after he repeated the question. You see, Daniel had a plan that he didn't tell us about. He didn't expect the search to work in time and if we didn't know it right away, he'd move on. We spent several hours thinking we cost him $25,000 and a chance at more but later (as seen on TV) switched questions. Quite an experience. Congrats, Dan!
I am slowly coming to the realization that it will take me more than a month to finish reading Atlas Shrugged. I really thought that 1184 pages would go by quicker than this but it's a damn good book.
I feel really bad that I haven't gotten back here to post recently. Things have been a little crazy. Hopefully, it'll be smooth sailing after the end of the month.
I was notified by my neighbor across the street that I had a fire. Of course, I'm thinking that this is going to ruin any chance of selling the house. Essentially, the bushes under the pine tree in my front yard went aflame. She thinks that someone tossed a lit newspaper between them and the neighbor's trailer (yes, there is a trailer in their front yard.) I'm thinking the burning bushes were waiting for me to get home to reveal my purpose in life. I'm just hoping they will recover soon as they look pretty sad right now.
I told you about my friend Daniel going on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Well, that airs on Friday. I can't say anything until it happens but I'm thinking there is a definite blog-post about the behind-the-scenes is in order.
The Marty Hennessy Junior Tennis Foundation held another fund-raiser on Sunday. I stopped in and talked to a few people (Tony Bennett, Rudy Ruettiger, Jack Jones and a few others) and scrammed before dinner was served. I gave blood earlier that day and I wasn't feeling so hot. But I am finding it funny that many news outlets are calling it the Marty Hennessy Jr. Tennis Foundation. As, I loathe being called that and that it's about junior tennis and not about Jr. Heck, most of them didn't spell Hennessy right anyhow.
There is something about my dress shoes that always causes blisters. Doesn't work well for a job that I need to be on my feet.
I decided to go to BloodHero.com to see what my cholesterol level was from my previous blood donation. It didn't look good (really bad actually) but I was told that those are usually off as a fast prior to testing will give a better reading. Anyhow, it's urged me to have oatmeal every morning and give up indulgences like these.
I heard that we got a few calls on the house but no visitors yet. In a market like this, I expect it. What I also expect is that while the value of my house drops, so will the one that I purchase next.
Got a lot of prep-work for the podcast to do tomorrow. So little time. This week, is Bangle-focused. I feel bad that the interview with Debbie Peterson didn't work out (wasn't able to record the call.) But she's fun to talk to and I'm hoping to get another try when they release their next album.
Otherwise all is great. I gotta run and get that humidifier now.
Upon searching for videos for the songs on YouTube, I had no idea that so many were used to express a gay relationship. I can see why though. These are powerful and intense performances. The previous video alluded to a relationship between characters of a show I have been recording but haven't watched yet and this following one does something similar (between twin brothers) from an anime series. It might be more worthwhile to open another tab or browser and listen to the song in the background... or even close your eyes. "Don't Need Love" don't need no stinkin' video.
I know. You are looking at the photo and thinking that I really like my M&Ms. For awhile, I'd grab a bag of them (gotta have the peanuts in there) at work for desert. Anyhow, I was at work one day when a co-worker brought up an idea that's been circulating which will get rid of the penny. My biggest issue with the idea is that someone will gain or lose more in every transaction while rounding up or down (when adjusting values to the nickel.) The co-worker was mentioning to me that it costs more to make a penny than it is worth... so why not replace it with something else, like an M&M, as they'd be cheaper to make.
Definitely on the crazy side, when it comes to ideas, as inflation eats at the value of our money but children would be tempted to nibble on your change when they find it. They also go bad, crack and break (as the blue one in the picture on the left.) Yet, that wasn't my response to him on the idea. I just asked him what we would do with the two-cent pieces.
He was kind of shocked when I asked it and said, "There aren't any two-cent pieces." I replied, "There would be. There are conjoined twin M&M's that occur fairly often." To prove this, I collected two week's worth (one bag per day) and they are pictures above. Yes, in ten packages, I had five of these anomalies. Whether our money gets adjusted in the future, I don't see it becoming candy.
Keyboardist, guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer Ken Hensley has returned with his new concept album, Blood On The Highway: When Too Many Dreams Come True. The album is a companion to a book of the same name that also tells the story of the rock & roll dream as recounted by former Uriah Heep member Hensley.
If ever an album screamed "make me into a musical production" before, this warrants it. The appeal of seeing, hearing and feeling the rise of a rock star, the fears, the betrayals, the relationships that isolate, temptation, redemption... it's all here. The album sings to life with the opening strains of "(This Is) Just The Beginning." All rock bands start from the dream whether it's to play in front of thousands of fans, to put out an album or to write the perfect song. A line from the song says it all: "Give me five guys that can rock, who don't know how to stop. Send them ten times round the block just to add a little mystery. Give me radio with balls, someone to help us fill the halls. And we can grab ourselves a piece of rock and roll history." (Yes, this alludes to the 5-piece classic Uriah Heep and their manager Gerry Bron.) The track sets the stage for "We're On Our Way" telling of the group's touring and ascent. I'm not going to ruin the story for you but what I can say is that there are some tremendous performances on this album which grows on the listener quickly. Former Trapeze/Deep Purple/Black Sabbath member Glenn Hughes, John Lawton (of Uriah Heep), Jorn Lande and Eve Gallagher provide compelling vocals on the disc. Being able to step back from a song and allow another vocalist to step in really says something about the confidence Hensley has in the songs and humility in the concept.
Ken Hensley has presented the roller coaster that is rock stardom on Blood On The Highway in a package full of hooks, dynamic layers and deft songcraft. I can only wait to get my hands on the autobiography of the same name. | 2019-04-21T08:38:27 | http://www.martinhennessy.com/2007/10/ |

speaking and secretly enjoy it.
down my cadence to make sure what I was saying would be understood.
technology you are going to present with.
One thing I did not account for was my transition from coding in Codepen to going back to the slides.
It wasn’t as smooth and seamless as it should have been and that was kinda my fault for not practicing. | 2019-04-19T20:17:42 | https://shayleehansen.com/category/coding-talks/ |
Glaciers are highly sensitive indicators of past and present climate change. Their current area and volume are a response to both near-term and long-term changes in both temperature and precipitation. In recent decades most glaciers have been steadily shrinking. Because glaciers are important indicators of past and future climatic changes, it is important that a globally complete glacier inventory be maintained that contains the current extent as well as the rates of change of the world's glaciers. The GLIMS project (Global Land Ice Measurements from Space) is currently creating a unique glacier inventory storing critical information about the extent and rates of change of the world's estimated 160,000 glaciers.
GLIMS is an international collaborative project that includes more than sixty institutions world-wide: its goal is to create this globally comprehensive inventory of land ice including measurements of glacier area, geometry, surface velocity, and snow line elevation. To perform these analyses, the GLIMS project uses satellite data, primarily from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and the Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) as well as historical information derived from maps and aerial photographs.
The analysis results are submitted to the GLIMS database at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado. The GLIMS database is funded through research grants from The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The GLIMS database is designed to be a logical extension of the World Glacier Inventory (WGI) of the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) and stores the full complement of the WGMS-defined glacier characteristics. Each analysis received by the GLIMS team at NSIDC is ingested into the GLIMS Glacier Database and made available to the public via the World Wide Web using an interactive mapping web site based on the open source package MapServer. The web interface thus acts as a visual front-end providing easy access to the GLIMS Glacier Database. New glacier data are continually being added to the database.
The GLIMS MapServer web site allows users to view and query several thematic layers, including glacier outlines, ASTER footprints, GLIMS Regional Center locations, and the World Glacier Inventory. Query results can be downloaded into a number of GIS-compatible formats, including ESRI Shapefiles, MapInfo tables, and Geographic Mark-up Language (GML). The web site allows users to perform a variety functions on the data including attribute querying, selecting, and exporting the glacial data through the use of a visual selection map and/or a form-based selection process. The data are stored in a spatially enabled database (PostGIS), which has sophisticated functions for spatial data analysis and query. The GLIMS Glacier Database also allows the user to view reduced-resolution ASTER browse images and to query the ASTER image metadata. The MapServer application can serve data from the GLIMS Glacier Database to other OGC-compliant services via OGC-standard protocols, thereby increasing the utility of this glacier data set. | 2019-04-19T14:45:18 | https://nsidc.org/glims |
Could this be Teresa Giudice’s final attempt to reveal and revile Melissa Gorga’s shady past? She wants the world to know that her sister-in-law was allegedly not only a stripper but also a thief! According to court records obtained by RadarOnline, Melissa was arrested on July 16, 1997. In the court record it states the then 18-year-old Melissa Marco, was taken in for “retail theft” in Palm Beach County, Florida. Melissa was caught shoplifting at a department store named Burdines and was released on $1,000 bail for her first crime.
Not only was Melissa booked she also has a warrant out for her arrest since she failed to appear for her arraignment on October 6, 1997, so the case is still open according to Kathy Burstein, the primary media contact for Palm Beach Clerk & Comptroller’s Office. With that being said, if Melissa goes back to that part of Florida, she can be technically arrested.
With this new and useful information, could Theresa finally show her younger brother, Joe Gorga, that the woman he married isn’t who she says she is? Well it seems that Teresa is determined to dig up thirty-three year-old, Melissa’s past and show her true colors and stop at nothing to achieve that. Their sister-in-law bond has been broken and most likely will never be repaired. | 2019-04-24T12:16:16 | https://www.celebdirtylaundry.com/2012/real-housewives-of-new-jersey-teresa-guidice-melissa-gorga-criminal-record-1011/ |
The city’s modernity is represented in the top-end fashion, cutting-edge furniture design and cool contemporary art scenes.
The city’s modernity is represented in the top-end fashion, cutting-edge furniture design and cool contemporary art scenes. Just wandering the streets is a lesson in inimitable Italian style. Bartenders moonlight as Versace models, heads swivel at beautiful pedestrians and this year’s window decorator might be the next big thing — following in the footsteps of Giorgio Armani. All Milan is a stage; enjoy the spectacle.
Milan offers a wealth of priceless art for any classics aficionado. Museo Poldi Pezzolishows off founder Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli’s marvellous personal collection that includes Bellinis, Tiepolos and Botticellis, while Pinacoteca di Brera displays the best Italian art anywhere, particularly from the Quattrocento (15th century) to the Rococo period (18th century).
For something utterly different, trek out to the former Pirelli factory in north-east Milan to inspect Hangar Bicocca. Here, contemporary artists take advantage of huge open spaces and soaring ceilings to create the most oversized artworks you’ll ever see. A permanent 15-metre-high installation by German artist Anselm Kiefer, The Seven Heavenly Palaces, is made of concrete and lead. Cleverly curated temporary shows highlight the best of contemporary art, design and innovation from both well-known and emerging artists, often in interactive ways that include performance and music.
Just south of the city centre lies the navigli (Milan’s system of navigable and interconnected canals) that once formed part of the city’s port; the Naviglio Grande is the oldest navigable canal in the world. The advent of railways killed off the district, but the warehouses that line the navigli now have been redeveloped into artists studios and interesting design boutiques.
The neighbourhood has a lively atmosphere reminiscent of Southern Italy, thanks to street markets and restaurants such as Dongiò which serves spicy Calabrian specialities, and popular pizzerias. On weekend evenings, crowds come for the pubs, wine bars and nightclubs that feature good live music, such as Scimmie, known for its rock, reggae and, especially, jazz performances.
Milan has no lack of illustrious restaurants, but sometimes the simple things are best.
Gelateria: Bianco Latte just might have the best gelato in town, including unusual flavours such as chestnut, pink grapefruit and chilli chocolate. For the desperate, it also serves that Italian rarity: decent tea.
Café: Sissi has served delicious desserts since the 1950s. Regulars linger over breakfast croissants in the rear garden, served by friendly staff wearing pink and white uniforms that haven’t changed much since the restaurant first opened.
From classic opulence to the latest trends in architecture and interiors, our pick of Milan’s best hotels reflects the city’s penchant for quality.
Arty: Design-savvy Spadari al Duomo features rotating displays of local art. The atmosphere is homely, and helpful staff members have good neighbourhood knowledge.
Historic: Boscolo Hotel Exedra is a former bank given a modernist makeover in bright colours, twisted plastics and superb lighting.
Classy: Hotel Principe di Savoia is a traditional arrangement in gilt and mirrors. Weekend brunch at the Acanto restaurant — headed by Chef Fabrizio Cadei — is scrumptious.
Hip: Classic palazzo architecture meets minimalist decor in metal, stone and recycled objects at Straf Hotel. Architect and artist Vincenzo de Cotiis has created a visually striking alternative to the standard hotel look. Wear your designer threads — this is style central.
Branded: Housed in an 1840 neoclassical railway station, Maison Moschino ) blends avant-garde with haute couture in fairytale-inspired style — the Bed of Roses room has lush red petal-inspired linen and chandelier.
Art lovers and conspiracy theorists flock to 15th-century Santa Maria delle Grazie (Piazza Santa Maria delle Grazie), where Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Last Supper covers the wall of a monks’ refectory.
For sightseeing with a difference, visit the Piazzale Cimitero Monumentale. It’s the resting place of Milan’s high society, and home to Greek temples, obelisks, baroque angels and fine Art Nouveau sculpture. And if in Milan, how could you resist shopping?
For affordable fashion and designer knock-offs, head to the shops and market-style stalls along Corso Buenos Aires. Then plunder renowned factory outlet Il Salvagente for last season’s designer must-haves at bargain prices. This is Milan, after all.
Jewellery designer Nathalie Jean has lived in Milan for 25 years. Her designs are in the permanent collections of major galleries in Paris, Chicago and Montreal.
The city’s 1930s to 1960s architecture. The works of architects like Ponti, Terragni and Portaluppi are hidden treasures.
What makes the city a design hotbed?
The world’s best furniture designers have factories right outside the city. And the fashion is very commercial so it creates energy.
There’s no other European city that offers such a variety of affordable craftsmanship, all of superb quality.
10 Corso Como is devoted to art, music, fashion, literature, cuisine and design, with a stunning courtyard.
The garden of Bulgari Hotel, with its gold-leaf pool... pretty nice.
High-end tailoring is sewn into the social fabric of Italy’s design capital. Here we trace the city’s rise from renowned textile producer to fashion powerhouse.
Whether you’re film-watching, celeb-spotting, cafe-hopping or beach-bumming, the classic Riviera gem has it all in spades. | 2019-04-26T01:54:54 | https://travel.virginaustralia.com/au/voyeur/buon-giorno-milano |
You know how kids can say embarrassing things in front of other parents. They especially have a knack of saying things in front of parents whom you have just met.
This year Ellie is going to a new school. A new school which is over double the size of her last school. We’ve all been adjusting to the size and new surroundings. I spend mornings smiling politely and making small talk with the other parents as we all try to find our place.
I should mention that I am HORRIBLE at small talk. I practically paralyzed in new social situations. Weird and awful I know.
The other morning was one of those mornings that my anxiety was going through the roof. I walked with my head down hoping no one would strike up conversation. I just wanted to get to Ellie’s class, drop her off and run.
Ellie had other plans. She had been working hard to master the monkey bars and wanted me to see what she had accomplished. I hate letting my anxiety get the best of me when it come to her. I don’t want her to see me like that. So I took a deep breath and told her I was dying to see her on the monkey bars.
We made our way over to the play structure and another mom from her class joined us on the walk. We made the normal small talk. Which wasn’t too bad, until she started talking about the school they use to go to in LA. She told me about all the fabulous celebrities that went to her daughters school and all the fabulous things they would donate for the school fundraisers. She then asked me how we raise money here with out all the celebrities to donate their fabulous items.
I could feel myself sinking inward. It was like someone was holding earmuffs over my ears. I’m not sure why this conversation sent me on a downward spiral.
What was she talking about? Celebrities? How does our public school stay open without them? What?
It’s weird things that set me off. I just felt the need to run and get out of this situation. Thankfully I had a legitimate reason to rush off. I had a meeting. Time to go!
Me – Ellie, Mommy has to go now. I have a meeting. I love you have a good day!
Ellie – You have a meeting? Is it about that TV Show?
Me – Yes honey, I’ll see you after school.
Ellie – Are you going to be one TV again?
I can feel myself turning bright red.
Me – Um no honey.
Ellie – Cause I see you on TV all the time.
Why is she saying this? I do a morning news segment maybe twice a year. I feel the other Mom staring at me trying to figure out if she knows me. I had to get out of there.
Me – Ok Ellie, I have to go. I love you.
I say goodbye to the other Mom who stares at me and lifts her hand as a goodbye gesture.
I am not a celebrity regardless of what my daughter would have you believe. | 2019-04-24T02:00:35 | http://momsmack.com/my-daughter-thinks-im-a-celebrity/ |

"Our relentless focus to build the best social media experience in China is reflected in Weibo's strong performance," Gaofei Wang, Weibo chief executive, said in a statement. "Looking ahead, we continue to see strong momentum, as we further optimise Weibo to share, discover and consume information, especially for the mobile, social and video environment."
Sina Weibo is the most popular of China's micro-blogging services, and it is the preferred platform for most mainland Chinese newspapers and TV stations, which have millions of followers.
Last year, seeing how popular live streaming video was becoming, Sina Weibo launched its own live streaming app, Yizhibo, nicknamed "Yi".
Chief executive Jack Dorsey said the company "continued to face revenue headwinds", but that user numbers had increased in part because of measures to reduce abusive content. | 2019-04-18T15:00:32 | http://www.digitalstrategyconsulting.com/intelligence/2017/05/chinas_weibo_overtakes_twitter_for_user_numbers.php |

MANCHESTER UNITED have been handed a huge boost in their attempts to keep Real Madrid target David De Gea at the club.
De Gea has established himself as one of the top goalkeepers in the world during his seven-and-a-half yeas at Manchester United.
The former Atletico Madrid man has repeatedly been linked with a return to La Liga at Real Madrid, who narrowly missed out on signing De Gea in the summer of 2015.
Real consider the 27-year-old as the ideal long-term replacement for Keylor Navas after failing to sign Athletic Bilbao shot-stopper Kepa.
But despite the constant speculation, De Gea insists he remains “happy” at Old Trafford.
The news will come as a welcome boost for United manager Jose Mourinho who has made no secret of desire to keep De Gea.
De Gea told Premier League Productions while reflecting on his United career: “Yeah, time flies by doesn’t it?
“A lot has happened, you know, mostly all really good. One or two things not quite so good, but I'm very happy.
MANCHESTER UNITED take on Tottenham at Wembley on Wednesday night.
"I came here as a kid and I'm a man now both on and off the field.
“From a football point of view and in my own life as well. Looking back, it's been seven fantastic years."
The Spain No.1 has helped the Red Devils to seven honours since his £19m move from Atletico Madrid - including one Premier League title - making 298 appearances in the process. | 2019-04-22T22:13:52 | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/677743/David-De-Gea-Manchester-United-Real-Madrid-Transfer-News-Rumours-Gossip |

It transpires that JAGS 4.0.0 for Mac OS X has an unwanted runtime dependency on libgfortran. The bugs module will not load on systems that do not have libgfortran installed. This has been corrected with the release of JAGS 4.0.1, now available from Sourceforge.
This is for Mac only. There will be no official release of JAGS 4.0.1 for other platforms, as these were unaffected by the bug.
After a long gestation period, JAGS 4.0.0 was finally released last week. If you go to the project page on Sourceforge then you should see an appropriate download link for your platform (binary packages for Windows and Mac OS X; source tarball for other platforms). Binary packages are also available for some Linux distributions. See the JAGS homepage for details.
Mac users should note that you need OS X 10.9 or later (i.e. Mavericks, Yosemite, or El Capitan). Older releases are no longer supported.
The rjags package for R has been updated to work with the new release of JAGS. It is not yet uploaded to CRAN, and the version of rjags that is available on CRAN (rjags_3-15) does not work with JAGS 4.0.0. However, you can download rjags_4-3 from Sourceforge. Again, binary packages are available for Windows (.zip) and Mac OS X (.tgz).
Thanks to Matt Denwood, we now have a binary distribution of JAGS 3.4.0 for Mac OS X Mavericks. There is a separate binary for older Mac OS X releases (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion). Both binary packages can be downloaded from the files page.
If you get an error about a missing symbol then you have the wrong combination of R and JAGS.
at the R prompt (note the dot at the beginning). This will either say mac.binary or mac.binary.mavericks. Follow the corresponding link to get the right binary version of JAGS to match your R installation.
If you are still having problems, come to the JAGS forums.
Bill Northcott’s binary distribution of JAGS 3.3.0 for Mac OS X is now available. This distribution supports 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and 10.7 (Lion). As explained by Bill in the installation manual, changes in Apple’s developer tools make it difficult to support earlier versions.
R package rjags-3_5 is now available for Mac OS X. You need to install JAGS version 3.1.0 , then install the rjags package in the usual way from within R.
There are some restrictions, you need to be running R 2.13.0 or above (and to keep up to date you should be running 2.14.0) and the package is only built for sub-architecture i386.
Thanks to Bill Northcott, who provides the JAGS installers, and Simon Urbanek, who produces the R binary packages for Mac OS X.
Daniel Meliza has created a port of JAGS on MacPorts. If you are already using MacPorts you might want to give it a try.
Please note that this is not intended replace Bill Northcott’s Mac OS X binaries. | 2019-04-19T10:49:26 | https://martynplummer.wordpress.com/category/mac-os-x/ |

**SAFE 09/29/15** Smoky grey baby girl SKYLAR is only about 13 weeks old and she has been at the ACC for much of September. She had some swelling on her face when she arrived, and must be FAR more beautiful in person than her intake photo shows. Yep, they have had her at the shelter since the 10th and not only did they leave her with a crappy picture, but they couldn’t figure out how to find SKYLAR a home. This BABY dies at the hands of a broken shelter system tomorrow, unless a FOSTER or ADOPTER steps up for her tonight!
I am a female gray domestic sh mix. The shelter thinks I am about 13 WEEKS old.
I came in the shelter as a STRAY on 09/10/2015 from NY 11212, owner surrender reason stated was STRAY.
09/23/2015 Exam Type CAGE EXAM – Medical Rating is 3 C – MAJOR CONDITIONS , Behavior Rating is NONE, Weight 2.1 LBS.
09/10/15 15:20 Skylar is an all gray female cat who was brought in as a stray to ACC today. Skylar appears healthy but will undergo a physical health exam. She was nervous and excitable during the Intake process. Skylar allowed herself to be transferred into a new carrier with minimal effort. Skylar fled and hid when an attempt was made to collar and photograph her. When she was caught and in a calmer state she did allow herself to be collared and photographed.
Skylar was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home. She was nervous and excitable during the intake process, but allowed handling with minimal effort. She is comfortable with handling during the initial medical exam, but prefers mild restraint. Reaction to Assessor: Skylar does not come to the front, but remains neutral inside her cage. Reaction when softly spoken to: Skylar looks at the assessor with relaxed eyes. Reaction to cage door opening: Skylar remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Skylar was hesitant at first, but remains in place and allows all petting. She blinks slowly throughout the interaction. Reaction to being picked up: Skylar becomes tense, but allows handling. Placement Determination: Experience Skylar tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter. She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents. | 2019-04-20T08:18:46 | https://catarchives.urgentpodr.org/skylar-a1050937/ |
The mayor of Calgary Naheed Nehshi thanked the Maria Luisa de Moreno International Foundation for the work, support, generosity and time they have provided in helping cleanup Calgary in the 49th Annual Pathway and River Cleanup.
The Maria Luisa de Moreno International Foundation held the Family Day event in the city of Calgary. This event brought much joy to children, adolescents and adults who delighted themselves in a day of coming together with different activities such as: dances, presentations, food and much more. These were unforgettable moments engraved in our hearts.
The Maria Luisa de Moreno International Foundation - Canada celebrated a day for kids this past September 2015 in the city of Calgary, Canada. This activity allowed boys and girls of different cultures to be brought together in which they all had a moment of happiness. A dance competition took place and gifts, food and more were given to them. In short, the boys and girls of Calgary had unforgettable moments along with their families which is something that our founder Maria Luisa Piraquive de Moreno has always wanted.
The Maria Luisa de Moreno International Foundation Canada, thinking about the community of Calgary, realized a workshop this past January 2015 with an immigration specialist in which the people attending received information and under the supervision of a moderator they worked in teams and developed activities that allowed them to know more of the different immigration statuses in Canada. | 2019-04-19T14:22:45 | https://www.fundacionmarialuisa.org/en-ca/our-presence-ca-en/calgary-ca-en |
The first book in the Narnia series, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, has made a stunning transition to the silver screen. The child heroes were each fully-realized characters, and the respective avatars of Good and Evil — Liam Neeson and Tilda Swinton — were impressively so. The casting alone would have made this a worthy film, but while C.S. Lewis himself was opposed to a real life telling of his story, fearing for the believability of his non-human characters, he needn’t have worried.
The near-perfect realization of the mundane and mystical denizens of Narnia is easily the greatest achievement of this film, and is surely a new milestone in visual effects history. That this film version of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe owes its existence to the modern Lord of the Rings series is undeniable, for it relies not only on the same effects house, but was surely greenlit based on the success of it’s darker, more mature predecessor. It is also undeniable that Weta FX outdid their previous work, if only by showing their exceptional virtual creations in well-lit, non-combat settings for a change. You’ll really believe a beaver can weep, a centaur can be irked, and a lion can be compassionate.
Some may fear a hidden agenda is buried within the Chronicles, and while it does seem to value Good more than Evil, this film was no more spiritual than the Lord of the Rings, Star Wars or Matrix franchises. Whatever C.S. Lewis’ personal beliefs, Disney has made an excellent film that will be enjoyed by young and old of any faith… or no faith at all.

Crumble the South Cape Greek-style Fetta (or grate the Haloumi, if using). Heat olive oil in a large pot and sauté onion, garlic and fennel until softened. Add capsicum, paprika, oregano, tomatoes, ouzo, water and sugar and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes until thickened slightly. Season to taste. Add prawns and transfer into an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with fetta and extra pepper and bake at 200°C for 10-15 minutes until prawns are cooked and cheese has melted slightly. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges and rice.
Tip: Ouzo* is a Greek anise-flavoured spirit. You can substitute the Ouzo and ¼ cup water with ½ cup dry white wine if desired. | 2019-04-21T05:07:44 | http://www.cheesematters.com.au/recipes/greek-style-fetta-prawns-with-ouzo-prawn-saganaki/ |

If you’ve spent much time tinkering with electronics, you’ve probably heard of [Seeedstudio] from their development boards, tools, and their PCB fabrication service. Their latest Kickstarter venture is the RePhone, an open source and modular cell phone that will allow hackers to put together a phone by blending GSM modules, batteries, screens, and other stock units, including an Arduino-based processing core, GPS, NFC, and other building blocks.
The funding campaign has already exceeded its goal and delivery is scheduled for next year with a basic kit weighing in at a projected $59, according to [Seeed]. Presumably, the core phone module will have regulatory acceptance, but the other ancillary modules won’t require as rigorous testing and certification.
What would you do with an inexpensive, embeddable cell phone? The modules are tiny, so you could implant them in lots of places. Some of [Seeed’s] more interesting ideas include building a phone into a walking stick, a dog collar, or a kite (although we were thinking quadcopters).
Of course, we’ve seen GSM and cell phone shields for Arduino before. Difficult to imagine sticking those in a dog collar, though, unless you have a fairly large dog. If you are a fan of 1960’s TV, it is easy to imagine a better shoe phone or a working Star Trek communicator.
Seeed Studios has launched a contest centered around the DSO Quad. In case you’re unfamiliar with the hardware, the DSO Quad is a low-cost standalone oscilloscope. It’s got four channels, two of which are analog, and includes an ARM Cortex-M3 processor as well as an FPGA. Why are we recapping the hardware with the contest announcement? Because the contest rules state that you are allowed to alter the hardware despite the fact that this is more of a software-focused event.
But what you really should know about are the cash prizes going to the winners. Rank in the top four and you’ll claim $3000, $1500, $800, and $300 in cold hard cash. But even if you don’t take one of the top spots everyone still wins. That’s because all entries are open source and will be found in Seeed’s DSO Quad forums.
If judging people is more your thing Seeed needs some help with that too. They’re looking for qualified judges and application details are includes at the bottom of the contest page.
Seeed Studios, makers of the Seeeduino and fabricators of small-run PCB orders have put out a call to help develop an open source radiation detector. Will it be of any help to people in the area of Japan that is at risk? We really can’t say. But if you can lend some expertise with this, it can’t hurt. We’ve already seen a simple dosimeter project but this one sounds like it’s more on the level of a DIY Geiger counter. We know it’s possible, but the hacked together unit we saw back in 2007 had very little documentation and used parts that may be hard to come by.
The specific information needed is what type of sensor to use, what supporting circuits should be included, and what method is best to calibrate each unit. There’s a discussion going in the comment thread of that post which should be interesting to read even if you think you don’t have anything to add.
Seeed Studios has a new version of the Arduino that they’re calling the Seeeduino Film. Instead of the traditional fiberglass substrate they’ve used a resin material to produce a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC). In addition to its flexibility their aim with this prototype was to keep it modular. From what we can see each of the four squares is a different component in the Arduino system. The photo above has the USB interface on the nearest node, then the power regulator, the microprocessor, and finally the remaining peripheral connections. This material can easily be cut with a pair of scissors so the programming section can be removed once the firmware is burned to the chip. It will be interesting to see final pricing and package options. We wouldn’t mind having an FPC ATmega168 breakout board around, but specifially this would fit nicely in a watch band if you were building your own wristwatch. | 2019-04-19T10:14:39 | https://hackaday.com/tag/seeed-studios/ |

Read / Write Pharma Part 4/6: What if?
In previous posts we've met Ilse, Giles and Harriet. Ilse is still unwell. Pharma Giles and Digital Harriet are imagining how they can help her get better together, but both are having dark thoughts.
Harriet and Giles have both heard of each other but never been in touch.
Remember they’re both good people. Ultimately they want to help Ilse. And both of them have been thinking: "what if we could help her together?"
Separately they've been thinking: "what if we put our stuff - our APIs and different kinds of evidence together?" It could be a marriage made in heaven.
With Harriet’s help, Giles could access real-world data which his healthcare payers and providers are now beginning to ask for.
With help from Giles, Harriet could use Fictitous Pharma's market access to reach people who are genuinely in need and who are not so engaged with their health.
Of course, having the idea is the easy bit.
And as they think about how it might happen, thoughts of a darker - and more personal nature - begin to surface.
The truth is both of them are looking at a cliff face.
Giles is at the top of his career. He is looking down at Harriet and quite a few other start-ups which are emerging in this space.
And then he thinks: how is he going to get any partnership through his risk-averse legal, compliance and business affairs? “How will I protect my IP, confidentiality, and brand?” he muses.
Most importantly he’s asking how he can take risks yet keep his job, his house (and not forgetting his golf club membership).
The reality is that Giles is staring down the risky cliff of potential career death.
Down at the bottom Harriet is also seeing a precipice. Only hers represents the risky cliff of lost time to market.
She’s asking whether Giles is actually the right person at Fictitious Pharma, and if not, how does she find the right person to talk to about a partnership?
She is wondering how long the commercials will take. The last pharmaceutical company she dealt with took three weeks to complete a CDA. And she’s wondering how she justifies this potential cash burn to her increasingly anxious Venture Capital-heavy board.
How can Molecules talk to Algorithms?
It’s no surprise that they should both find this difficult. The reality is that there is not an easy way for molecules to talk to algorithms. Both have grown up in very different environments. Pharma has developed an industrial culture of risk management and control and has a push-only culture.
The algorithms which are driving digital health and the rest of the digital economy are born in a post-industrial environment of extreme risk, uncertainty. They are pushed and pulled from one service to another.
So making them play nicely is impossible. And right now - with one or two notable exceptions - Pharma is not coming up with the answers.
Pharma and digital services want to work together and see huge opportunities in partnerships.
Both parties see a cliff face of uncertainty, risk and delay.
Molecules and algorithms have grown up on different streets and can't talk to each other.
In our next post we'll take a look outside health at how transport is getting a rewire, and what that can mean for health. | 2019-04-21T08:57:50 | https://www.weareupstart.com/blog/2017/11/30/readwritepharma4 |

Deafinitely Independent provides residential support, personal development, training and recreational and social opportunities to vulnerable deaf adults with a range of additional needs such as learning disabilities, loss of sight or cerebral palsy. Our focus is on providing a safe, caring home for life, and we also open our community to provide shorter-term respite care. We currently have vacancies.
We are based in Leamington Spa in Warwickshire in the Midlands, and our residents come from locations across England.
We opened in 1994 after Sandra Cox searched the country for a home for her son and was unable to find the "home from home” environment she was looking for. She got a group of parents together who had similar problems, to work with an architect, a solicitor and a social worker to provide a home for deaf adults with other disabilities.
Since then we have grown into our present family of up to 19 residents. As a focused independent organisation we keep alive our original passion for being a "home from home" for our residents, whilst committing to professionalism and care of the highest standard. You can see our CQC report, and we fully comply with Charity Commission requirements. Our Trustees have always consisted of both parents and professionals with an interest in nurturing deaf people so they can have as independent a life as possible.
If you are looking for 24-hour residential care for deaf people with learning disabilities in a caring family setting please visit our Social Services page or call us on 01926 337743. We accept referrals from all over the UK.
We work together with each resident and their family to create their home from home with us. Please visit our page for families and friends to find out more about us or call us on 01926 337743.
We are looking for dedicated people who are either proficient in BSL (British Sign Language) or willing to learn it.
Whether you can work full-time or part-time, as a regular or occasional volunteer, we would love to meet you and introduce you to our wonderful residents at Deafinitely Independent.
You will of course need to have an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure and satisfactory references.
As a member of staff, you will help residents with their activities, perhaps shopping trips, cooking a meal and building friendships with them. Your role is to treat every resident with respect, dignity and compassion.
Your generous gift, whether it’s a single donation or an ongoing monthly payment, will make a real difference to the lives of the vulnerable people we support.

It is the Pan Africanist Movement of Azania . A revolutionary student movement born on the 19th of June 1997 at the university of Western Cape, Bellville in Cape Town. This followed the demarcation of PASO as the name to be used by the comrades at the secondary level, while the new name PASMA meant and to be used by the comrades at tertiary level. PASO, that PASMA history, pride and its consistent come from what was the product of long and hard organisation and mobilisation under banishment of the early eighties. It was born on the 15 October 1989 in Welgespruit at Roodeport in Gauteng province. Among its founders were Cde Lungelo Mbandazayo (Founding President), Cde Lawrence "General Nqandela (Secretary General), Charge –in Mabaso (National Organiser) and other codies who led the PAC Youth Wing-PAYCO.
Knowing one anotherBuilding the organisation is a process that demands patience, persistence, and especially student organisation because students come and go, and time changes. The starting point of this exercise or process knows our members. This means we need to know who we are, dealing with and this involves all levels of the organisation –from branches to provinces to national.
Knowing who we are dealing with, will ensure that we chose the right comrades or people at a right time in a right positions or places.
Knowing who each of us is, means knowing where each of us come from and how we come to be where we are. This also includes what we are capable of doing in other words our abilities or skills as well as the type of persons each one of us is. This briefly means knowing the history one of each of us, and old members alike. This will afford or enable the party members or leadership to know or establish if the members or new members is reliable or can be trusted and entrusted.
Noble sons and daughters of the soil, this will help the party to identify and isolate opportunist elements who join the party to pursue their personal agendas and endings and the short term goals at the expense of party building and development.
A member of PASMASimply being a card-carrying member of PASMA is not sufficient to qualify one as genuine and not committed codre. Card-carrying members must first undergo training so that they can qualify as genuine and committed members of the party or organisation. A genuine and committed member of PASMA attends organisation meetings, events and any call for duty to pursue it, without failure unless enforced by circumstances beyond his/her control. The organisation comes first. The training should ensure that this becomes the culture of the organisation, members should know PASMA that is, its ideology, goals, policies, principles and programmes and be able to articulate them with confidence and clarity.
the country and in Africa.
Ability to work with othersThis is the principle of collective leadership one of the pillars on which the PASMA is founded. It is expected and required that a PASMA member should be able to work within the official structures of the organisation. All genuine members of PASMA is selfless and consult his comrades at all times. Individualism, unilateralism and self-advertisement at the same expense of the organisation should be discouraged. The principle of collective leadership should not only be emphasized in the training of comrades but it must be adhered to and practised in all PASMA meetings. | 2019-04-20T02:44:52 | https://pasma.blogspot.com/ |

The message was heard loud and clear: We need more STEM workers and we need them now. Students are abandoning Shakespeare for STEM, universities are providing real-world learning experiences and companies are offering paths to free education.
Upon discovering that degrees in English literature are not leading to jobs, students are marching over to the computer labs. The share of bachelor’s degree holders in the U.S. age 25 and over who majored in computers, math or statistics rose to 47% last year from 4.2% in 2009—an increase of nearly 1 million students over the period.
And at some universities they don’t have to wander far to apply what they are learning in the classroom. For example, the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership Laboratory located in Grand Rapids, Mich., on the Western Michigan University (WMU) campus, is stocked with 3-D printers and scanners, a CAD/CAM lab, plasma cutter, laser cutter, welding station, metrology equipment and prototyping tools.
The lab combines prototyping, training and small-scale manufacturing with the opportunity for individuals to earn college credits to be used toward a degree or certification. And beginning in January, WMU will offer courses for a certificate program in integrated design and manufacturing.
In addition, manufacturing engineering technology, engineering design technology and engineering management technology courses will be offered at the facility for students enrolled in WMU’s ABET-accredited four-year engineering technology degree program.
Corporations are doing their part as well. IBM for example created a program called Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools. It began in 2011 with one school as the company was looking to bring more students into the STEM pipeline. Currently there are 100 schools that participate in this program.
Students can enroll in the six-year program, which begins in high school, and earn both a high school and an associate’s degree in a science, tech, engineering or math-related field. The schools map skills that employers value into the curriculum, preparing P-TECH graduates to enter the workforce after graduation.
To ensure that students can find jobs in their field, the program is supported by 400 business partners that work directly with 79 schools across the U.S. The business partners ensure that students are career-ready by providing mentoring, site visits and paid internships.
In addition to filling the many STEM jobs in the market today, P-TECH is also helping these graduates move to “new collar” jobs which can range from associate analyst to digital design developer.
In addition to efforts at the university level, there are technical programs as well.
The shortage of qualified automotive technicians drove Mercedes-Benz USA to expand one its technician training and development programs. The luxury automotive manufacturer this summer announced a new program in association with Jefferson Community & Technical College (JCTC) in Louisville, Ky.
The auto training shop program, Mercedes-Benz Accelerate, is the first-of-its-kind in the state. It prepares students to become a level one Mercedes-Benz Certified Systems Technician in just three semesters. Students will train on Mercedes-Benz vehicles, intern at a Mercedes-Benz dealership and have the opportunity to gain full-time employment after completing the program.
Across the range of jobs and levels of education, opportunities are being offered to students to help them choose STEM as their career. And let’s hope they can find some time for Shakespeare. | 2019-04-25T04:04:15 | https://www.mhlnews.com/labor-management/companies-hope-stem-programs-will-take-root-and-flourish |

The big picture: "The free market has been distorted in an unhealthy way," health care consultant Stuart Piltch told the Wall Street Journal’s Anna Wilde Mathews for this deep dive into hospitals’ pricing practices. Hospital systems are consolidating rapidly and buying up physicians’ practices (which charge higher prices once they’re part of a hospital).

Do you know the very early signs and symptoms of pregnancy? While large number of women are not sure about the very initial signs of being pregnant, knowing them can help prevent any mishaps. Take a look through these most common early signs and symptoms if you feel you might be pregnant. Some Early Signs And Symptoms of Pregnancy Tenderness: In the 1st week or the 2nd week you will feel your breasts getting tender. It’s the most important sign of pregnancy because it’s a bodily function that occurs in every woman who is pregnant. Your breasts can also feel a bit heavier than before to you as various hormonal changes take place during early days of pregnancy. This is one of the early signs of pregnancy 1st week. Nausea: Feeling of vomiting which is also known as morning sickness is another early symptom of pregnancy. Although there are times when you will feel morning sickness naturally without even being pregnant, if its prolonged then there might be a chance of pregnancy and this is one of those very early signs of pregnancy in first 2 weeks. Changes in Smell: Sensitivity of smell will increase in high amounts if you are pregnant. This symptom cannot be seen early but in three weeks it might show up creating nausea with any kind of smell. Even if it’s a perfume, you will feel intense smell of it resulting in nausea and vomiting. Urination: If you don’t have diabetes then you will feel the need of frequent urination. At night if you had to go to bathroom two times, during pregnancy you will have to urinate several times. It’s another early symptom of pregnancy which shows in about two weeks. This can be one of the very early signs and symptom of pregnancy before missed period. Period: Menstruation or missing period is possibly almost the beginner’s way of knowing if you are pregnant or not. If you are not having your period on the desired time, if it’s late than normal time, you might run a quick pregnancy check as late or missed period is one of the ancient and most common signs of early pregnancy. Craving for Food: Being hungry may sound hilarious to you but even if you are amongst person who doesn’t eat very much, you will feel the craving for food. It’s a unique sign of pregnancy that differs in women. It’s also a cause of fatigue among pregnant women. These symptoms are an indication towards early pregnancy. Each and every woman is different from each other and their body functions differently. Because of this variety, all women do not have same signs of early pregnancy. Hormonal imbalance may also create symptoms of early pregnancy which can cause a false alarm. There are several pregnancy strips on the market to give you a scientifically proven method of pregnancy test. If any of the signs give you a feeling of being pregnant you must contact a doctor in order to attain a safe pregnancy. | 2019-04-25T09:43:04 | http://www.thecfpo.org/pregnancy/pregnancy-symptoms-and-most-early-signs-of-pregnancy/ |

Gracefully You : How To Live Your Best Life Every Day. | 2019-04-21T02:49:45 | http://jenna-dewan.com/photos/index.php?cat=87 |
Tim Wallace is a internationally recognized corporate and commercial photographer based out of the UK, and often described as conceptual and dramatic. His works with a wide range of industries such as automotive, truck and logistics, aviation, marine, engineering, and freight operations. His clients include McLaren, Peugeot, Jaguar, Land Rover and many other iconic brands. Looking at his work, I am amazed by the sense of wonder he creates with conceptual photographs, showing just enough of a subject to draw the viewer’s eye. In the examples above, I notice that he utilizes show depth of field and light/shadow to create a mysterious yet elegant and whimsical feeling persuading the viewer to want to know more about the scene. In the first photo, I notice that there is a cast of purple color on object and the image is tightly cropped conveying the idea that there is more to see. In the second image, there is a lot of shadow created by a dim over head light making it more mature and serious, the netting and pattern is more textured and defined like you want to reach out and touch it. This image is also cropped tightly leaving a sense that the object goes on beyond what you can see. It gives the feeling that the brand is powerful, elegant and refined. Tim Wallace is beyond talented in this field whether he is capturing the concept of a subject or creating movement using shallow depth of field and dramatic backgrounds.

My concept for my final Advanced photography photo shoot was inspired by the challenges my friends, family and I faced during this past year. Basically, we are all in our early 20’s juggling work, school and a variety of other issues that can become physically, emotionally and psychologically draining on a person’s well being. Speaking for myself and what I’ve experienced from others these various challenges can take us to very dark and negative spaces in our minds, so I want to do a portrait shoot depicting that. I want the shoot to be transitional going from a depressed, stressed, overwhelming and dark feeling to something more hopeful and positive like finding light at the end of the tunnel. My subjects will include myself and four other people (family members, friends, spouse). My audience is young people like us who are also going through some of the most difficult times in our lives trying to be successful and live well but at the same time feeling like we’re running out of time. We fall into pits of depression so deep we often become our own worst enemies doubting ourselves and our abilities thinking we’ll never reach the finish line. I want to see this all narrated by the text from Langston Hughes’ poem Harlem. In the dark scenes, I want to see my subjects in a lot of shadow like partial silhouette in the more positive scenes I want a more hopeful light setting. In the dark settings, my subjects will be wearing dark clothes to add to the mood, in the more positive settings they will be wearing clothing and props that depict what their future aspirations or dreams are. All of this will be back lit in the color red because it represents a feeling of pain and anguish but also passion and strength. This idea can also be explored in a still life by photographing objects representing negative behavior like alcohol, drugs, razor blades and objects representing a person’s aspirations like books, art work, cameras, etc. My inspirations for concept and lighting are works from Gregory Heisler, Nick Fancher and Jordan Peele’s poster art for his recent horror film “Us.
Richard Foster is one of the most talented specialists in still life photography, working with various big clients like Prada, Adidas, and Vogue Magazine just to name a few. Looking at his work, I notice that Foster uses lighting, color and other elements to make his images more dynamic and eye-catching to the audience adding to the brand’s presence. In the examples above, Foster is using a colored back light forming a diagonal shape behind the items making the product a more powerful and life like feel. He’s careful to use color that doesn’t draw attention away from the object while keeping the light at an angle that doesn’t produce a harsh glare into the camera. He also uses rim light and probably fill or main light to bring out features and shadows of the glass, this helps add a sense of personality or emotion to the item. When I first saw the photos I thought about the emotion and the audience it would apply to. Being that the first image is a bottle of whiskey it already signaled to me that this was for an older crowd. Then considering the lighting the image felt kind of mysterious and rugged but classic at the same time because of the mature and clean design of the bottle. In the second example, the name brand Prada already signals a luxury item but the strong diagonal of hot pink light gave off a powerful, confident personality that would make someone stand out from the crowd. It honestly made me feel like purchasing the item myself because those are the same ideas I would want to present to the world about my own personality. Richard Foster stands out from the crowd because he gives the subject of his photography a personality even though its an object, after achieving that the image comes to life on its own.

As I looked through all of Richards Fosters images of these different fragrance companies. I realized that he wasn’t just trying to sell the product it self but the bottles as well by using the bottles shapes, transparency and colors to his advantages. With the Stella McCartney bottle he used the bottles purple and black and clear to create both a shadow and refraction of the light on the clear and colored part of the bottle. Which he also did with one of the Tom Fords blue bottles. He used something that looks like a square light above the bottle at an angle while placing the bottle on the edge of a white table which did similar results but the difference here is he using the shadows to create solid geometric shapes out of the shape of the bottle.
Now in the Bottega Campaign with all three bottles he uses the bottles shapes to create both hard and soft shadows shapes with a background that matches the with the color of the fragrance bottles as well.
Richard Foster is a sought after still life photographer because he uses the bottles, glass, liquid, and transparency to its fullest potential and doesn’t waste time showing that through his campaigns. He wants to show off everything that the product has and not just the fact that its a fragrance in a bottle but that the bottle its self is a beautiful item to have and keep. Its a way to catch someones eye instead of someones interest in the smell. Before getting someone to smell and want a perfume/cologne the bottle must catch the eyes of its consumers to get them to look in its directions for it to be noticed.

Gregory Heisler is a very talented photographer who believes in that technique can limit creativity. In a video giving advice to photographers, he stated “looking outside yourself for what’s going to spark your career or photo will not help you more than your own mind. Techniques are like gloves anyone can buy them and wear them for different occasions, your vision is like a fingerprint they don’t change. Techniques may actually hide your fingerprint so it doesn’t show as well.” He was saying that all photographers utilize techniques in their work but if you are wrapped up in the technique you use to compose a photo you lose the unique way you would take the photo. In Heisler’s photography, I notice there are a lot of black and white frames using a wide range of lighting techniques such as split, rim, short, broad and 3- point lighting. His skills also carry over to his color photography, his subjects looking comfortable in the frame as if they weren’t overly instructed to pose a certain way. As a photographer, he has a don’t think too hard, just shoot type of personality about him. He advises other photographers not to spend time studying the work of their idols and aspiring to be like them. He says ” Don’t think about how someone else would shoot think about how you would shoot then do it”. It means that photographers shouldn’t compose under the constraints of “how would this person/ or that person do it”, the only person you should be comparing your work to is yourself. He also encourages photographers to be resourceful and ready to shoot under any circumstances because there’s always a chance things will not go as planned. It’s possible that professional lighting won’t be available or you won’t have as much time with a subject as you may have anticipated, but you must be prepared to work well under pressure.

I can see why high-end brands such as Tom Ford, Prada, Stella McCartney and Bottega have sought out Richard Foster’s photography services. He has a keen eye for framing products so that the eye is immediately drawn to them. The still-life work he has done with fragrance and cosmetics are exceptional. The refraction effect used on these glass items is lovely. I love the use of this aesthetic, then combined with the shadows casted from an overhead light made for a most successful Charlotte Tilbury ad. I can easily picture seeing this in a print campaign through fashion magazines. In the Piaget ad, it does well in using lighting to layer the different textures, and invoke a bit of drama. This is also replicated in the Dalmore alcohol ad, who also features a pop of red for good measure. Lastly, I appreciate the geometry found in the Tom Ford fragrance ads, which utilize a low camera angle and light manipulation make for a most striking hierarchy. Richard Foster’s style would make you double take on a still-life of a half empty bottle of Robitussin. I admire his work. — Did I mention he has short films?

Richard Foster used a style of light refraction, and colour, combined with a low angle camera. Foster uses certain angles to catch different geometric shapes in his photographs. For his glass photography he was an expert at catching the different light effects that the glass produced showing the beautiful rainbow effect on the surface. His photographs are very infomercial-like, looks like something you would find on a television commercial or a magazine. The products which are the subjects are very crisp and you can see every edge and corner of it, there is no extra lighting or effects to the photographs, they are already well done in quality it is quite simple and has a certain aesthetic to it that is eye candy.
Throughout all of my semesters in photography, I’ve found that I enjoy photographing two main concepts. Portraits and food. I remember the first time I photographed food in my Photography 2 class in the spring, it was one of the best classes we ever had. It seemed like being able to make interesting compositions while eating brought out the human side of all the students in the class. Looking at Andrew Scrivani’s work I am memorized by the attention to detail and composition skills used in the photos. What makes food photography interesting is selling the the viewer the desire to eat or drink whatever your photographing. You’ll know you’ve reached your goal when even you find yourself wanting to eat it too. In the photo above, I was drawn to the feeling of wonder I got from looking at the bubbles of the beverage. It also made me feel a sense of mystery and intrigue because of the shallow depth of field, I was caught between wanting to drink it and wanting to stare at it all day. In Scrivani’s second photo, I’m drawn to the use of color and the complimenting background. The photo feels light and healthy with the background not clashing with the subject but adding to the ambiance. I also find it interesting that I don’t feel the same type of desire that a person might feel when looking at a photo of a Big Mac from McDonald’s or a Whopper from Burger King. Fast food advertising always seem so aggressive and demanding when promoting their items kind of playing on the idea that a consumer might feel less fulfilled by not eating that burger and fries. Scivani’s approach is more calm and inviting building a consumers interest in the food rather than playing on insecurities.

The first image makes me want whatever it is that’s in the image, It looks amazing when you start noticing the blue berries that are in it, and the glazing on top of it makes it look more appetizing with how shining and fresh it looks. Like if you manage to get your hands on this now the glaze would still be melting in your hands and tasting fresh out the oven. The spoon in the image gives me the feeling that buying it in a store, you will see them pour the glaze on it as you buy it. It makes it feel like a moment that’s in slow motion and you don’t want to look away. You want to see the food finished right before your eyes. The way the camera focuses on the cake and the glaze on the corner really makes you appreciate it.
The background in this image is interesting to me because in most pictures with food they tend to take a picture from above the food to use the table as the background, but its usually in focus with the food but the colors, plates and food gets separated so that nothing gets mixed in with the other and the food is always the main focus. In this image and others that include an angle or a person and more in the background get focused out enough to focus on the food or drinks more. This one is my favorite because the man is being out of focus but his hand that is around the drink is in focus with the drink. It makes it feel like the man is handing me a drink to try at a bar. Its like if i was a customer just focusing my mind on the drink more than the one serving it. Kinda like being hypnotized.

The Arduino Mega is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 14 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Mega is compatible with most shields designed for the Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila. The Mega 2560 R3 also adds SDA and SCL pins next to the AREF. In addition, there are two new pins placed near the RESET pin. One is the IOREF that allow the shields to adapt to the voltage provided from the board. The other is a not connected and is reserved for future purposes. The Mega 2560 R3 works with all existing shields but can adapt to new shields which use these additional pins. | 2019-04-18T20:17:20 | https://elmwoodelectronics.ca/collections/arduino/products/arduino-mega-2560-r3 |

Photographs of the wife and daughter of Hollywood actor Will Smith helping Greek volunteers clean beaches on the island of Antipaxi went viral after they were posted by his daughter Willow on a social media site on Wednesday.
Armed with large black bags, Willow and her mother Jada Pinkett Smith donned gloves and helped four volunteers collect 22 bags of rubbish left behind on three of the beaches on the island, which is famous for its pure white sands and azure waters.
Smith had been holidaying on Corfu with his wife and daughter when they visited the small islands of Paxi and Antipaxi in the northern Ionian for a few days. When they saw the volunteers cleaning remote but beautiful beaches on Antipaxi, the family did not hesitate to lend a hand.
“Being so far away from what I perceive as a polluted metropolis, I couldn’t stand seeing these beautiful beaches in Greece littered with trash,” 16-year-old Willow wrote. | 2019-04-24T00:55:25 | https://www.hellenic-hotels.com/2017/06/will-smith-helping-greek-volunteers.html |
TEACHERS resigning from the Supreme Educational College in Braamfontein have left matric students stranded just before their preliminary exams.
He said teachers were leaving because they were not being paid their full salaries as stipulated in their contracts. “My children are complaining, especially the one in grade 12 because she will be writing her matric soon and I cannot transfer them at this stage of the year,” Ndlovu said.
A teacher, who asked not to be named out of fear of being victimised, confirmed that Supreme teachers were not being paid their full salaries.
“Teachers are not getting paid. It’s been two months now. They have been paying us R1 000 instead of our normal pay,” the teacher said.
[pullquote]“We were supposed to sign a paper saying even if they were to pay us R50, we would still teach.”[/pullquote]Three other teachers, who resigned from the school because of not being paid, agreed.
One of them, who asked not to be named, said on July 17 the teachers at the school had a meeting and they decided to give the school management a letter demanding all the money owed to them.
She said they were told to wait at reception, then called into the manager’s office one by one.
“We were supposed to sign a paper saying even if they were to pay us R50, we would still teach,” said the teacher. She refused to sign the contract and left the school on that day.
When Wits Vuvuzela went to the school, management refused to give their names: “Just refer to us as ‘the school management team’,” they said.
The management team said they had never received a complaint from a parent and were shocked by the allegation that they had no teachers.
They said they had replacements for the teachers who had resigned. They asked Wits Vuvuzela about its sources.
“These faceless people are making all these allegations all of a sudden. Why do they come to you? Why not to us, or the CCMA [Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration] or the department of education? In fact why not go to a reputable newspaper?” said one of them.
The teacher who is still at the school said he was shocked the school was facing financial difficulties because it received a government subsidy. However, the school was closed for almost a week in April because they had failed to pay the rent.
The school management team denied having financial issues, and said they were paying salaries agreed upon. But in a telephonic interview one of the managers admitted that the school was indeed having financial troubles.
She said the school had lost its subsidy because it received a less than 54% pass rate and they were now dependant on parents paying their fees, which some were not doing.
Management said publishing the article in Wits Vuvuzela would ruin the lives of other students.

We’ve heard that when you take a family ski trip up to Snowmass, you could spend the entire trip riding it’s terrain without covering the same ground twice. But are the rumors true? Well, you know The Big Ski Family is going to be putting that theory to the test!
For The Big Ski Family, this is going to be another first. We’re continuing our Season #1 Winter Tour and venturing over to a brand new state: Colorado. Our first Family Ski Day in the state will be at the one and only Aspen Snowmass!
Aspen Snowmass is made up of four different mountains in Snowmass Village, Colorado. Similar to Snowbird, there’s an airport (Aspen-Pitkin County Airport) just minutes from the slopes. In other words, it offers a sense of convenience for folks who’re interested in scoping out this resort. Or flying in to come ski with The Big Ski Family… whichever is cool with us!
Snowmass has earned a reputation for being recognized as one of the top resorts to ride in the park. In addition, it was ranked #7 in Transworld Magazine’s 2017 annual park poll. We’ll be there on January 26th and are planning on spending the entire day up on the 55-acre stretch of mountain checking out all of the different terrain that it has to offer.
Terrain parks, trails, pipes, and top-to-bottom runs set this up to be an epic family ski day! And if it doesn’t get any better, we’ll also be arriving just in time for the 2019 X Games (AKA the world’s best action sports, music and festival experience — on snow!) RSVP for this Family Ski Day now, wax those skis, tighten your bindings, follow us on Instagram for updates, and get ready for an epic day of skiing up at Snowmass! | 2019-04-19T16:51:18 | http://www.thebigskifamily.com/blog/the-big-ski-family-takes-on-aspen-snowmass/ |
Brighton Skate Punks Phinius Gage have joined the hordes of reforming bands. As reported by PT a while ago, they are reuniting. The first announced action is a Brighton show on October 2nd.

With all the concerns about the economy in the news today, it’s probably normal to wonder if you can still afford plastic surgery. The answer is yes.
There are many options as long as you and your doctor can; list priorities, explore possibilities and accept some compromises. For example, if you are looking into facial procedures, you probably already know about BOTOX®. But what about dermal fillers like Restylane® and Perlane? These are just two of several affordable dermal fillers that restore skin volume to wrinkles. While you may want a facelift, discussing other options with Dr. Peña might give you the same desired result without an economic strain.
The key is to have well defined objectives prior to coming in to the office. Though Dr. Peña will help you with many of the details, knowing what you want, as well as what you don’t want, is important. This may also help defray some of the costs in the long run. Know that while some procedures may be done together, you don’t have to have everything done at once.
Finally, Dr. Peña offers the option of financing your plastic surgery with the help of CareCredit. CareCredit has several repayment plans that are set up and tailored to your economic means.
If you have any questions about how you can affordplastic surgery or about the procedures in general, please contact Manuel Peña, MD for an initial consultation. Dr. Peña serves the areas of Naples, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, and Estero, Florida. | 2019-04-19T12:14:23 | https://www.dr-pena.com/blog/affordable-plastic-surgery-d1/ |

I have generally called them illustrations.
2D or 3D computer graphics (CG) or vector graphics.
I have a small Wacom Intuos 3 tablet.
Click the images to see a bigger preview.
Here is the list of works on this page.
The drawing from a "Coloring tutorial"
Some illustrations I did for a series of posters, banners and other materials. Cinderella (La Cenerentola), The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte) and Peter Pan are some opera shows for children staged by the National Romanian Opera in Cluj. Mobile phone photo proofs are on the posters page.
Hand drawn illustrations scanned and traced, adjusted and digitally colored, used as vector at every needed size from small flyers to large banners.
I also did the layout of the materials.
Image and layout for the banner and other promotional materials for the Don Quijote balet. Hand drawn, scanned and traced, adjusted and texture filled. Raedy for print at diferent sizes.
Click the images to zoom in and see some details.
Some sketches I did for a logo. The toddler is called Atzu and that's the name of the company. The final drawing, a vector illustration, used as logo can be seen on the logos page.
Just a drawing I did for myself. I would like to create the Illustrations for Children's Books, create the Book Covers. For now this is a Traditional Drawing and Digitally Colored.
As I play a lot, lately, with Inkscape and my Intuos graphic table, I did some drawings that I'm showing below. This one is a coloring tutorial for vector drawings. Also on my blog. The steps written below are "chunks - as the drawing is done", "combined", "separated" and "colored".
I did some vector drawings some time ago. The elephant was part of a website design. The round box was done just for fun, testing the possibilities of CorelDraw. The mug was done for a Guideline manual of a company to apply their logo on it. The Taj Mahal drawing was done for a website in Sri Lanka for Engligh Learning online school. The characters were done for an italian English Learning site. After drawing the basic body parts I have created a couple of configurations for them.
This is the drawing I did and used for the "Coloring a cartoon drawing (raster image)" tutorial that I have posted on SXC. The image shows the original drawing and the final colored image. I hope to do more tutorials some day. Maybe on my blog.
This is the vector image I have created in CorelDraw based on a tutorial for Adobe Illustrator. I wanted to see if I can do it in CorelDraw and if it looks the same or not. I think there very few differences between these programs these days. The reddish logo below is the original, from the tutorial. Above it is the URL to it. The others are the steps in its creation. This is not my logo design.
This is an old drawing (2000) that I used for a Christmas Greetings Card (in 2003).
I am placing it here to showcase my drawing process. The first image is a sketch, then the drawing that I have scanned and digitally colored.
I did these vector drawings for a client, to demonstrate the use of his company logo.
This is an exercise I did (vector drawing). I saw a tutorial for buildings for map on the net and I thought I should try to see if I can do something like that. I have used a different angle so it's completly different now. I did the top view, then created the 3D look and colored them. After that I added some details (windows and church roof) and refined it with grass and alleys.
This was a diploma we offered to all our 1-st grade students on 5-th of December 2008 ("Designer's Day" at our Design Department). I did all the cartoon drawings, text and layout. The students are a miss brush and mister pencil. Teachers are more (or less) accurate (or rigid) tools. I did the drawings in a traditional way, pen and marker on paper, scanned it, made the composition and then digitally colored it with my Wacom tablet. Text was added later.
Each of the 4 images below will open a bigger preview.
Vector drawings for a logo. After some research for the name of the company I came up to some warrior drawings on pots from ancient Greece. I enjoyed drawing it. There have been many variations for the logo. Friend of mine, designer Urcan Catalin helped me with some suggestions. These are the final drawings, based on this talk.
Click the 3 samples above.
Had to do a 3D illustration of an exhibition/fair stander. I have started pencil on paper and then worked through to a vector drawing that I have further developed into a 2D raster image. Also placed an advertising on it (as an example). Client had it's own. This is not done in 3D software.
These are my entries in the Firefox T-shirt Contest. I enjoyed doing them. I like Firefox very much. Click to see all of them. Thery are also on my Flickr page. You can see and vote the 5 finalists on Mozilla store site.
Since November 2007 I decided to offer images for free on a stock site. It works great and I had 30.000 downloads in 3 months. Then I thought maybe I should try selling some. Here are 15 (some) of the images for sale that I have uploaded on stock sites.
These are some of the editorial illustrations I did for BYTE Romania Magazine. Unfortunately this magazine no longer exists. The drawings were entirely done on computer in vector drawing software and saved as EPS for print. The preview is a bit crowded, please click to see the bigger image. They were done for several, different articles.
A comic strip I did for the Alo magazine. It is about the birth of Jesus in a Christmas issue. This was entirely done in traditional art techniques and tools. It was then photographed at the printing house and manually registered, long time ago. Collaboration with AquaForte Publishing House. | 2019-04-23T04:35:17 | https://www.florin.reel.ro/folio/illustration.html |

Lost-Found, a vernissage of Xavery Wolski, the winner of the Hestia Artistic Journey 2014 competition, took place in Warsaw's Propaganda art gallery on December 13th. The exhibition is quite unusual, conceptual. Wolski's prize was a month-long residency in New York, where he gathered material, which he was supposed to present at the exhibition in Propaganda. Unfortunately, due to an unfortunate event, he lost all the video files he recorded there. This disaster, however, was transformed into success in the form of a very original, extraordinary exhibition, giving an insight to the state of the young artist.
One short video, photographs, tickets, receipts and other souvenirs from New York - these are Wolski's possessions you can see in the art gallery at 11 Foksal street, as well as a single Batman episode from the 1960s, a costume with a wig attached, and an audio recording resounding from the speakers. Videos that were supposed to be exhibited do not exist, we do not know what they contained, they are a mystery, just like New York, the dream city. This exhibition is not actually a figuration in itself, rather a story about many things, it is not "it", but "about it" - about the New York myth, the city of opportunity and success, about an impermanent artistic medium that is video, about the figure of a young artist. It presents an idea, a problem. Perhaps then, without the actual works we get to learn more, we are forced to reflect a lot more than we normally do?
A young man wins a prize, a residency in New York - he needs to meet tremendous expectations. He is full of emotions, and also feels the pressure coming from other people. He arrives at the "capitol of the world", the mythical city, where dreams come true, where everyone can achieve something. He is faced, however, with a reality quite different from the one portrayed in the movies, or in the imaginations of many people. New York overwhelms with its size, but is also incredibly inspiring. It is not Wolski's first time in this city, therefore on the one hand the arrival is a clash of memories, though on the other, it is packed full of new content, a new meaning of something important, something that needs to be utilized wisely and consciously. Video clips recorded during the residency were meant to be titled "Here I Come NY". Among other things they showed unusual situations, rituals characteristic of this city, a city that makes a huge impression. These videos, though, will remain a mystery. We can, however, read an intimate relation of the artist's stay in New York. Even though he lost the recordings, the journey was important and illuminating for him, he gained contacts that he may use in the future, he also got to know a different, more commercial approach to art. In the end, his thirst for this city, still has not been quenched.
By winning the competition, Xavery Wolski proved that he has potential as an artist. He still creates art, currently in France, where he takes part in the Erasmus education program. The works he created so far are full of contexts, references to philosophy, movies. When I read the interviews he gave or the texts he wrote, I imagine Wolski as a humanist, a proper artist by the standards of Vitruvius and other authors of great treatises on the subject of art through the ages; an intelligent, well-read, creative person. I think that the art he creates - video, installations, happenings - is difficult to sell, however as a whole, as an artist, I gladly take what he has to offer. | 2019-04-25T14:15:17 | https://artystycznapodrozhestii.pl/en/wystawy/8 |
In December of 2002, I was sitting in a crowded theatre awaiting the opening crawl for "Star Trek: Nemesis." It was opening weekend, and I'd forgone the tradition of reading the novelization prior to watching the movie. Needless to say, everyone in that theatre was undoubtedly floored by at least one revelation throughout the movie. I myself was unable to get over one simple, early reveal: Will Riker was finally getting a command of his own, the USS Titan. I had never been a Riker fan; throughout all seven seasons of "The Next Generation," I felt his character had not really grown, that he would always be Number One, that his feelings for Troi would fritter away.
That said, I am probably the last person anyone would want reviewing the inaugural novel of "Star Trek: Titan," the aptly titled Taking Wing. Indeed, this book was approached with some reticence, though ultimately those feelings would be jarred from the beginning, as the novel had two things going for it: Romulans and the always wonderful writing team of Michael A. Martin and Andy Mangels. They turned what could have been a simple milk run into a well-crafted, intricately plotted, and utterly enjoyable novel that actually made me like Riker, something the A Time to... series managed to pull off as well.
Taking Wing introduces us to the myriad of characters populating the humans-are-the-minority starship; there are a wealth of potential character clashes sprinkled throughout the tightly-structured tome. From the initial repulsion caused by the raptoresque appearance of the ship's Pahkwa-thanh CMO, Dr. Ree; the ever-evolving pain and coping of Ranul Keru; and the unexpected presence of Admiral Akaar and his revelation of the mission to Romulus, the maiden voyage of Titan will be anything but normal.
Martin and Mangels manage a series of cameos and callbacks throughout the book, from the presence of Jaza Najem (last seen in "Fragments and Omens") to the covert assignment of Tuvok, even bringing Tomalak back from the depths of obscurity. While there is much happening in the 359 pages, it should be noted that Taking Wing is really a duology; most of the dangled threads will not be wrapped up until volume two. Despite the daunting task of introducing an almost entirely new crew and ship, Martin and Mangels pull it off with panache; this is one quick read that runs well into "The Red King." While some detractors will find the Romulus plot to be contrary to Titan's mission statement (something Riker and Akaar discuss) it ties up several leftovers from Nemesis. Indeed, other novels have and will continue to draw upon the trail blazed by Titan. | 2019-04-24T02:08:00 | http://sfreader.com/read_review.asp?t=TNG%3A+Titan+1+-+Taking+Wing-by+%3Ca+href%3D%22bbauthor_results.asp%3Fn%3DMichael%2BA%252E%2BMartin%22+title%3D%22Michael+A.+Martin%22%3EMichael+A.+Martin%3C%2Fa%3E%2C+%3Ca+href%3D%22bbauthor_results.asp%3Fn%3DAndy%2BMangels%22+title%3D%22Andy+Mangels%22%3EAndy+Mangels%3C%2Fa%3E&book=1015 |

These should be eaten with care, it's common in Europe to eat raw beef, but it's considered unsafe to eat raw pork except in a very few cases. These parcels should be prepared only using very fresh farm grown pork that has been treated. If you are uncertain about the quality of the meat you can always cook it, or alternatively you can buy branded parcels from Asian supermarkets.
1. Clean the pork and put into a blender/food processor.
2. Peel the garlic and add to the blender.
3. Add the chillies and salt. Blend until it completely mixed.
4. Add lemon juice and mix.
6. Chill in the fridge for 5-8 hours if you like more sour leave it for 2-3 day in wram place.
1. You can eat these raw, or if you prefer you can also cook this dish in the oven or by frying them. If you like spicy food you can cut up red chillies and push a piece into the centre of each parcel.
2. You can add sticky rice or fragrant rice too if you wish, but I prefer not to. Simply precook or pre steam the rice and use 50 gms sticky rice to each 1kg pork.
Thank you SO MUCH, Appon!
I've been looking for this recipe for years now. I often buy these (when I can find them!) in one of two Asian markets in the Strip District of Pittsburgh, but can rarely even find someone who works there who even knows what to call them. They just say, "They're good with beer! And hot!".

baby-markt.de is test winner notes from 1,5 to 5,0 refund partly tedious Hamburg, October 14, 2010 is still a dense jungle online shopping for young parents, or is the Internet a good shopping centre for children’s and baby products now? Stumbling blocks there are many, especially if the product is not right and must be exchanged. For young parents, for which financial resources are often limited, it can become an undue burden, if after a revocation the repayment of money very late or only after long, time-consuming inquiries. What shops can parents buy a sure? Where can I find the right products, and it quickly at a reasonable price? “The results of the study: test winner is baby-markt.de and very easily reached the note as the only provider” (1.49). The shop convinced all along the line through an extensive, good prices, fast delivery, easy reversal and an impeccable website. Babyprofi.de (1.64), occupies space two followed by the triple team babyland-online.com (1.76), amazon.de (1.74) and babybutt.de (1.77). Who focuses primarily on cheap prices, find deals in the test with myToys.de. As the only provider with the price rating very good”sets itself apart from the competition myToys.de and receives the award winner”. General online shopping in the area of children’s and baby products worth: good at the half of the shops parents can buy quickly and without problems.
Fast delivery convincing customer service ordered today, delivered tomorrow: some shops that is quite literally to take. Five of 28 shops supplied the goods directly on the next day, 19 shops within three days. Only four suppliers needed more than three days. Before the purchase, the service impresses: parents can at most shops safely customer support contact. “” Nine providers was good “, even very good at ten” the hotline can be reached. When revocation parents must wait on their money on delivery the customer must not wait for the refund of money often: four tested shops let their customers beyond the statutory period of 30 days, waiting for their money. Especially for young parents, this is not sustainable and therefore resulted in the devaluation. | 2019-04-19T06:43:17 | http://www.projecttango.org/tag/for-the-first-time-28-online-shops-for-childrens-and-baby-products/ |
The Taito 2017 is the cloth mousepad that doesn’t sacrifice on speed or control. It sports an electric ROCCAT® blue rubberized underside for superior grip and style. Its one-of-a-kind, heat-blasted Nano Matrix surface gives you maximum glide and pinpoint control. Perfect consistency, every time. The latest generation Taito has an optimum 3mm thickness and is available in four different sizes, Mini, Mid, King and XXL-Wide, with every style of gamer catered for, from high to low sensitivity. Get ready to enter the matrix.
The average cloth mousepad is comprised of coarse, low-grade fibres, resulting in erratic mouse movement that may be faster on the Y axis than it is on the X axis, or vice versa. The Taito 2017 is different. It’s built using only the highest quality cloth textile available, with a heat-blasted Nano Matrix structure providing a silky smooth surface that’s consistent on both axes. It offers a high-speed glide with remarkable control. Whether your enemy beside, behind, above or beneath you, the Taito won’t let you down when you go in for the kill.
No matter what your aiming style – low or high sensitivity – there’s a Taito for you. The Taito XXL-Wide heads up the series, with a massive 900mm X 330mm size. Next in line is the Taito King-Size with a 455mm X 370mm size. Following closely is the Mid-Size, with 400mm X 320mm dimensions. The 265mm X 210mm Taito Mini-Size rounds off the series. Each pad features a thickness of 3mm – the optimum thickness for gamers. Each Taito 2017 features a non-slip rubberized backing in electric ROCCAT® blue, meaning an unsteady pad is the least of your worries when you head to battle. | 2019-04-19T04:26:19 | https://us.maxgaming.com/mousepads/taito-xxl-size-3mm-shiny-black-2017 |

Holbrook, a specialist intensive care unit for those with advanced dementia at Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup, is now more than just a ward.
It also has a lounge, dining area, kitchen, indoor potting shed, ladies’ hair salon, launderette and activity room, all decorated with feature retro wallpaper with a 1950s reminiscence theme.
A re-opening event was held for people to come and see around the new ward on Monday 22 February. Guests included Old Bexley and Sidcup MP James Brokenshire and patients’ relatives and carers.
Specialists worked with the Oxleas team to ensure a stimulating and homely environment was created for patients’ carers and staff.
The kitchen is fully-functioning and can be used by visitors to make a cup of tea or eat a meal with their loved one – helping encourage patients to use these skills and not lose them.
The lounge and dining area are made to look like a real home, with pictures on the walls, ornaments and accessories to make the areas look inviting and familiar.
Patients were moved out of the ward last June and will move back in this week.
Modern Matron Angela Williams, said: “We provide person-centred care, an approach developed by professor Thomas Kitwood, who has pioneered dementia care since the 1990s.
Service Manager Rachel Matheson, said: “For many of our patients, they come straight from their home into hospital which is a very difficult time for them. By coming into an environment that looks and feels more like home than a hospital, we hope they will feel more at ease and the transition can be made easier.
“One of the main improvements of the new environment relates to increased lighting levels because research indicates that as we get older we need higher levels of light. This enables us not only to see as clearly as possible so that we can mobilise safely but also promotes healthy patterns of waking and sleeping which can often be disturbed for those with dementia.
Carers who came to see the transformation ahead of their loved ones moving back into the ward, said it would make a big difference to both visitors and patients.
Debbie Simmons, whose partner Reg will be cared for on the ward, said: “I feel so privileged to be a part of this – it’s amazing, with such lovely finishing touches.
The development of the environment has been based on research and guidance from Bradford and Stirling Universities and The Kings Fund; all leaders in dementia-friendly design in the UK.
Addressing the guests at the opening event this week, James Brokenshire said: “This is a centre of excellence, supporting patients and their families through dementia.
“All of us know someone with or who has had dementia and this ward ensures dementia is not feared.
“It’s a wonderful facility at Queen Mary’s Hospital, which will provide reassurance and reminiscence to the patients. It will transform care for south east London and the local area. This is a big part in the future of this hospital and I’m pleased to be here celebrating this latest success, which will make such a big difference to those who come here in the weeks and years ahead.

55 million Indians were pushed below the poverty line due to out-of-pocket expenditure on healthcare overall in 2011-2012; outpatient care accounted for more expense than hospitalisation.
Did you know that India ranks 4th in terms of volumes and 13th in terms of value of the pharmaceuticals produced worldwide — and yet 38 million people in the country were pushed below the poverty line in a single year (2011-2012) solely due to spending on buying medicines?
Meanwhile, 55 million Indians fell below the poverty line because they were forced to spend out of their pockets on accessing healthcare overall, including medicines, says a new study done by three researchers from the Public Health Foundation of India and published in the British Medical Journal.
The study looks at all Indian states, including union territories, through repeated cross-sectional analysis of secondary data from the National Sample Survey between 1993 and 2014.
The data used was the nationwide Consumer Expenditure Surveys for the years 1993–1994, 2004–2005 and 2011–2012, as well as the Social Consumption: Health data for 2014 from National Sample Survey Organisation.
The objective of the study was to find out the financial implications of out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditure on healthcare in general, and on medicines in particular, for households in India over the years. Another objective was to find out which diseases contributed to a larger proportion of households’ financial burden.
The study — authored by Sakthivel Selvaraj, Habib Hasan Farooqui and Anup Karan — is testament to the deplorable condition of public provisioning of healthcare services in India.
The study used the Indian official poverty line (Tendulkar Committee method) and an international poverty line of US$1.90 PPP. While the number of people who fell below the poverty line due to OOP health spending was 55 million using the national poverty line, this number reduced slightly to 50 million while using the international poverty line.
The study found that diseases that accounted for significant OOP payments are non-communicable diseases (NCD) like cancers, cardiovascular diseases, injuries, genitourinary conditions and mental disorders. Cancer, says the study, accounted as the leading cause, among non-communicable diseases, of “catastrophic” expenditure on health for a household.
“Catastrophic payment for healthcare is defined as OOP payments being higher to a predefined threshold of total household consumption expenditure or alternatively household’s non-food expenditure,” says the study. However, for measuring catastrophic expenditure, the study considered “a range of thresholds”, instead of sticking to a particular threshold. Usually, “catastrophic” expenditure on health is defined as OOP payments on health equalling or exceeding 10% of the total household expenditure.
Another important point noted by the study is that outpatient care accounted, overall, for significantly more of the OOP expenditure on healthcare rather than inpatient care or hospitalisation.
Similarly, outpatient visits were higher than incidences of hospitalisation, especially for non-communicable diseases.
As the study says, “hospitalisation-based treatment cost constitutes only one-third of India’s morbidity burden”.
This is important because the various health insurance schemes — which are the prescription (presumably meant to keep the poor from literally dying as healthcare costs escalate due to privatisation on an unprecedented scale) provided by the neoliberal international financial institutions (like the World Bank) that are dictating policy and overseeing the destruction of public health services in the developing world — are focussed mostly on covering the inpatient care costs.
This is also among the several problems with the much-vaunted National Health Protection Scheme (NHPS), which the BJP-led NDA government is peddling as the answer to India’s health needs and which aims/claims to provide up to Rs 5 lakh per family per year for 10 crore families for secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation. Numerous studies earlier as well as have reported on how — in the absence of adequate government-funded health services — health insurance schemes are “ineffective in preventing financial catastrophe and impoverishment to households,” to quote the study.
The study says that despite the Drugs Price Control Order 2013 — which brought all essential drugs, based on National List of Essential Medicines 2011, under price control — over 80% of the retail pharmacy market is not price-capped. Besides, says the study, the sales volume of the majority of medicines under price control has declined.
“To sum up, both national and state governments’ intervention is required for providing free medicines in public health facilities along with expanding the mechanism of price capping of key essential medicines in the private market,” the research paper says. | 2019-04-22T09:19:11 | https://www.newsclick.in/38-million-indians-impoverished-because-buying-medicines-single-year-says-study |
Insulin pen cap is referred to a cap that transforms any insulin pen into smart pen. It helps the patients to check how much time has passed since the last injection. This device keeps track of the reading and record the reading for future reference.
The global insulin pen cap market is expected to grow at a robust growth over the forecast period i.e. 2017-2024. Further, insulin pen cap market is driven by various factors such as growing adoption of technologically advanced devices and increasing healthcare concerns.
In terms of geography, North America region is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Further, U.S. is the leading country in this region because of better technological infrastructure and increase in adoption of innovative healthcare products. Likely, rapid urbanization coupled with mounting demand for user-friendly health monitoring gadgets are envisioned to bolster the growth of insulin pen cap market by the end of 2024. Additionally, increased connectivity and rising old age population affected with diabetes are envisioned to foster the growth of insulin pen cap market in the North America region.
Rising demand for advanced blood glucose tracking technology and the increasing aging population affected with the diabetes are envisioned to be the dynamic factor behind the growth of insulin pen cap market. Further, rising adoption of innovative insulin pen caps for better track of blood glucose level and growing consumer awareness regarding insulin pen caps are believed to bolster the growth of insulin pen cap market.
Moreover, rising personal disposable income along with rising purchasing power of the consumer are anticipated to foster the growth of insulin pen cap market. Likely, increasing research and development activities are also anticipated to propel the growth of insulin pen cap market.
However, lack of awareness regarding insulin pen cap in developing and underdeveloped nations are projected to dampen the growth of insulin pen cap market over the forecast period. | 2019-04-24T04:56:46 | https://www.researchnester.com/reports/insulin-pen-cap-market-global-demand-analysis-opportunity-outlook-2024/395 |

DataMngrUI.exe is a legitimate windows process used by many applications of Windows operating systems. So it is not a problem in most cases if you see several even copies of this process running in your background because they plays a core role for the connected programs. In most case, this process is safe in supporting the programs which require this process/file in order to function correctly. However this process may have more than one variants and one of them may be spyware or malware. To be sure we suggest that you scan your system for related errors.
Before doing that, you need to close all open applications. (There are times you need to open the Task Manager to end the process running on the background.) Then it is time to open the applications again and doing the same things you were doing when the DataMngrUI.exe problem started.
Of course, you can try these manual methods to figure out how to fix DataMngrUI.exe errors spending your countless hours, the recommended solution is to use a professional windows system repair tool which runs a deep scan of your Windows system, detects and automatically fixes the related errors.
In most case, DataMngrUI.exe is safe as a normal windows process and there are usually several of them running. This is a required Windows file and is used to load the needed files that are used with Microsoft Windows and Windows programs on your computer. However, there are kinds of viruses that can infect this file and may run as a service under the same name， and it can be a serious infection which can damage your system and rip you off.
Unfortunately once you have been infected by virus, your computer is rendered almost useless. The first signal that you'll notice is that your computer is performing gradually slow, often inconceivably slow. Since virus normally changes your Registry, which make the infected file launched during each starting operating. If you were going to open the task manager, you will see that there will be more than one instances of DataMngrUI.exe process listing, consuming large amounts of system resources. Sometimes there will be only one of this process which is taking up a very large amount of system resources on its own. Consequently, the reason why your computer is running extremely slowly is that all the systems resources are being consumed by the virus. It's not always the case that this virus is acting like the service. From many victims' experience, the Virus Problems is 80% caused by Windows registry problems. This means the virus is lurking in regular Windows processes that are essential for your system to operate.

Who doesn’t like a nice long 512-bit message digest to confirm that the file they’re opening is secure? Cryptographic hash functions are one method of verification to insure file integrity between two parties (or as a signature or authentication code). The most commonly used hash verification is MD5 check sum (proven insecure). Apple uses SHA-1 for it’s package update manager (also likely insecure). But if you want to get deep, go with Whirlpool, and I’m not talking about appliances here, I’m talking about 512 bits of hash (the authors, Barreto & Rijmen have a page here). Ironclad and md5deep are two easy to use packages if you’re looking to implement Whirlpool under most *nix and Win 32/64 systems. | 2019-04-23T00:20:35 | https://www.marybicycles.com/large-cryptographic-hashes-with-whirlpool-and-a-myriad-of-brewing-methods/ |

Over the last year or so I’ve acquired six ARM Cortex-M4 boards; I have some experiments planed for them, and hope to be able to do some write ups this fall. Here’s a chart highlighting some of their key specifications (of course, these boards can do a lot more, such as SPI and I2C communications).
Debug means built-in debug support over USB, JTAG connector, or similar.
USB support varies; for example, some boards include USB OTG support.
eLua support is probably usable, but not very polished, on the various platforms, but that’s a guess because I haven’t tried it yet.
Energia is a Wiring-based IDE and framework for Launch Pads that’s very similar to Arduino.
My apologies if the chart is hard to read; I haven’t had time to update my theme to allow for wider charts.
The LM4F120 LaunchPad is no longer available; however, the Tiva TM4C123G LaunchPad is very similar (it does have a few improvements).
I bought this board when it first come out, since TI had a special offer (around $5 IIRC).
At EE Live! 2014 these LaunchPads were the top tool swap choice. (At the TI tool swap, TI gives you a new TI dev board in exchange for an old, non-TI board).
I wanted a STM32F4 board with Ethernet, and had a hard time choosing between the STM4F Discovery with Base Board (which adds Ethernet and more) or the Olimex STM32-E407 (which has Olimex UEXT connectors). I went the STM32F4 Discovery route because it seems to have better software support.
I backed the MicroPython Kickstarter project primarily because I like the Python language (and have used it on production machines), and was curious to see how much of Python’s goodness could be packed into a MCU. As you can see, it’s a pretty tiny board.
The base Kickstarter price was about $40; when it becomes available to all, the price will probably be a bit higher.
The Pixy is primarily a machine vision system, designed to track objects and work well with Arduinos and similar systems. However, it could be used as a pretty powerful embedded board.
I backed the Pixy because I like machine vision (I also own 5 smart cameras), I’ve wanted to play with the NXP LPC43xx MCU at the heart of the Pixy, and because I remember the Charmed Labs guys from their Nintendo hack days.
The base Kickstart price was $59; it’s currently available on Amazon for $69.
I went to the three day TI Industrial Control Workshop in Santa Clara. Instead of repeating stuff (such as class outline) that you can read on the wiki link (above), I am going to give my impressions.
The bottom line: yes, the workshop is well worth attending if you like to (or just have to) control motors. 5/23/2013: I also want to add that I think this workshop is good for automation developers like myself. OK, I’m not sure it’s worth flying to another city to attend, but if there’s one close (next one is 17-19 September 2013 at Brookfield, WI) then it’s good to attend — you’ll learn a lot more about what goes on underneath the covers of your VFD or servo drive. I know I have a better understanding and appreciation of my drives. Also, you can just about do the course on your own by downloading the materials, but it’s not the same experience.
Disclaimer:Â I paid for this class myself (OK, at $79 it wasn’t a big deal – and the price includes snacks, lunch, and a F28069 controlStick); it was a very nice break from my typical workdays.
Update Feb 2014:I notice TI now has 4 videos from a more recent Control Theory Seminar, with the first episode here, and videos for the C2000 One Day Workshop, with the first module here (there’s also an older set of video modules). I couldn’t find videos for Day 2 (Motion Control Theory), although TI has a wide variety of other motor control videos. So download the materials, watch these videos, and you’re almost there! (But I still recommend attending in person if you can).
Considering TI must be subsidizing the workshop, it had amazingly little marketing content – less than a typical trade mag article. There was no mention of TI products at all on the first day (control theory) and very little on the second day (mostly pride in TI’s new instaSpin solutions). The third day was all about TI products (F28x DSP), but it was all about the product (architecture, peripherals, Code Composer Studio, etc), not marketing.
Overall, there were many good discussions, and lots of questions. I enjoyed learning about what other people are doing.
I think all three instructors did a good job; the biggest issue was time – each class easily could’ve been at least a week, so they had a real challenge trying to fit in as much material as possible, explaining it in an understandable manner, while still answering questions (and all three did a good job of answering the many questions).
On day 1 I felt like I was back in college; it was like a month (or more!) of college stuffed into one day — and the soft-spoken instructor, Richard Poley, reminded me of a college professor.
You do need to have a good math background to follow the theory. Fortunately I had a lot of math in college, and I did some reviewing via wikipedia before the workshop. I won’t claim I understood everything perfectly, but I felt I remembered enough to follow the basic concepts.
The theory got a little practical at the end of the day with sections on Digital Controller Design, Implementation Considerations, and a Suggested Design Checklist.
I’m pretty sure the vast majority of attendees don’t use control theory day to day. I know I don’t; for example, we rarely have problems tuning motion controller PID loops. So for me, the theory isn’t very useful for my day today tasks; in fact, trying to use it when it’s not necessary is a waste of time.
But it’s still good to know the theory for when the normal experienced-based approach doesn’t work. (The same applies to programming, say sorting: if you have a small set of data, all sorting methods will be reasonably quick. But if you have large data sets, knowing the theory of different sorting methods is critical).
I’m now interested in learning about state variable control theory, which is covered in the two day version of the Control Theory seminar, but it will be a while before I’ll be able to find time for project.
Dave Wilson is a motor geek and a primary contributor to TI’s Motor Control blog, which is a treasure trove of motor control information (even if you don’t use TI chips, since most of info isn’t TI-specific).
Dave Wilson emphasized AC induction motors and servo motors, because none of us were interested in stepper motors. He covered motor control theory and all the common algorithms (such as field oriented control). He discussed advantages and disadvantages of the different motor types and motor control algorithms. He did a good job of answering the many questions. And, yes, he is very excited by TI’s instaSPIN solutions (especially instaSPIN-FOC).
I really like Dave Wilson’s Power Point and VisSim animations that graphically showed what was going on to make the motors spin.
This day was a rapid fire introduction to the F28x DSP series. The instructor, Ken Schachter, gave an overview of the peripherals, an overview of the available software such as controlSuite, and then we spent a lot of time doing labs that showed off some of the Code Composer Studio (CCS) goodness (like graphing memory).
I’d call the class an orientation – I wouldn’t even say I become comfortable, but I do feel like I got my feet wet with the tools, and have a better idea of how to start. CCS is pretty intimidating at first, and TI does provide a lot of libraries and examples.
The BeagleBone Black is out, and many are comparing it to the Raspberry Pi (RPi) and Arduino. Compared to the previous BeagleBone, the major changes are the price ($45, down from $90), a HMDI output, more speed (1Ghz vs 720MHz), more memory (512MB DDR3L instead of 256MB DDR2) and 2G on-board eMMC flash memory. The BeagleBone Black also has a 100BaseT Ethernet port, a USB 2.0 HS host port, a USB 2.0 client (device) port, and a microSD slot.
Note: in May 2014, the BBB Rev C is coming, with eMMC flash memory doubled to 4G, and price increased to $55. It’s very possible third parties will continue to make the Rev B.
If you just want a little Linux box for learning and compact computing tasks, the BB-B is just a little more than the RPi: a little more expensive ($45 vs $25/$35), a little faster (1GHz vs 700MHz), a little more flash (2G eMMC vs nothing) — and a lot less popular (by volume, the RPi has outsold by BeagleBoard + BeagleBone by at least 10:1, although that probably will change now with the Black’s lower price).
But the BeagleBone’s great potential is as a controller, not a RPi clone, since it has excellent digital peripherals (better than many microcontrollers)Â available on its 2 46-pin connectors.
This Bone isn’t perfect. I really wish the new Bone had 1G Ethernet (since it has 1G MACs) instead of 100M Ethernet. Since the BeagleBone’s pins are heavily multiplexed, you can’t use all the peripherals at the same time. Some expansion pins are also used by the system (e.g. one of the I2C channesl must be shared with the cape ID memory).  (11/1/2013 – from following the BeagleBone group, I’d say pin conflicts can be a big issue, though it’s far to note this is true on most embedded processors. Also, note that the only potentially shareable cape pins are the “bus” pins such as I2C and SPI).
So what’s available on the expansion connectors?
2 MMC channels (the BB-Black uses one of these for its eMMC memory).
7 Multiplexed 1.8V analog inputs going to a 100KHz 12-bit ADC (the eighth channel is used by the system).
3 HRPWM (high resolution PWM) systems with 6 outputs.
3 eQEPs (enhanced quadrature encoder inputs, used with incremental encoders).
At a glance, I’d say TI has “borrowed” theF28xHRPWM, eQEP, and eCAP peripherals for various other chips, including the Sitara chip used in the BeagleBone. The F28x DSPs have a good selection of motion control software available from TI, such as the various InstaSPIN libraries and controlSuite. TI has ported some of their motion control software to the Stellaris and Hercules lines, but not to the Sitara. It’d be great if they did, but not even TI has infinite resources, and the payback probably isn’t there; after all, the volume motor control market is in stuff like cars and clothes washers, and those guys aren’t going to replace a $3 DSP with a $15+ Sitara module (MPU, DRAM, flash, etc).
I’ve always been intrigued by programmable co-processors, going back to the days of the Freescale (Motorola) MC68332, which has a TPU (Timing Processing Unit). I’m pretty sure the TPU was mainly used in high volume applications (not by many hobbyists), although Circuit Cellar Ink did run a series on programming it. The MC68332 was used for motion control in several Galil controllers.
TPUs and improved TPUs were also used in a variety of ColdFire and PowerPC microcontrollers. Freescale also developed a communications co-processor, the QUICC Engine, which was used in a variety of PowerPC MCUs such as the MPC8360. Recently, I think Freescale has moved away from co-processors, possibly due to the increased speed of MCUs. For example, none of the QorIQ PowerPC chips have the QUICC Engine.
TI has used similar co-processors before, such as the HET (High End Timer), NHET, and N2HET on many Hercules safety MCUs, the CLA (Control Law Accelerator) on some C28x DSPs, and the original PRUSS on earlier Sitara MCUs.
The BeagleBone’s unit is officially called the PRU-ICSS (Programmable Realtime Unit – Industrial Communications SubSystem); it’s easy to see why, since peripherals include 1 12Mbps UART (perfect for Profibus), 2 Ethernet MII’s, 1 MDIO, and 1 eCAP. TI provides drivers using the PRU-ICSS for real time industrial networks such as Profibus, EtherCAT, and Ethernet PowerLink.
The PRU-ICSS has two 32-bit processors inside that run at 200 MHz, with each instruction taking one cycle, so it’s great for deterministic tasks, especially if the BeagleBone is running a non-real time OS. TI has released PRU development tools, and a Linux driver.
I think the PRU-ICSS can be used for a lot of things that it wasn’t designed for, and open source is already making a difference. For example, there’s the PyPRUSS software. The PRU is already being used for stepper control by BeBoPr and Replicape capes. Another possible PRU use is producing precise, high speed digital waveforms for test.
5/23/2013: some additional PRU notes: according to a g+ discussion by Charles Steinkuehler, the GPIO logic can only be updated every 40nS, which limits its maximum GPIO frequency. Also, there’s a good BBB PRU overview and getting started guide here. 11/1/2013: I’ve seen various discussion on how fast the PRU can toggle, so do your own research first if you need ultra-fast bit toggling.
5/28/2013: here’s another creative use of the PRU: interface to a serial mode LCD.
BeagleBone capes are similar to Arduino shields: they’re boards that stack onto the BeagleBone’s expansion bus. Theoretically, you can use up to 4 capes at one time, but the practical limit is typically much less, since the expansion pins have many different uses, and if the capes fight over the pins, the result won’t be pretty.
Capes currently available or available soon include RS232, RS485, Profibus, 1-wire, CAN (with driver and connector), prototyping area, stepper motor drivers, camera, WiFi, LCD touchscreens, and FPGAs. The variety of capes make it that much easier to create a one-off BeagleBone system to perform a specific task. Most capes cost more than the BeagleBone Black.
Operating system support includes several Linux variants (including the Xenomai real time framework for Linux), Android, Minix3 (port in progress), several commercial RTOS’s (at least QNX, Integrity, Nucleus+), SYS/BIOS, and the no-OS StarterWare.
Linux adds a lot of power, but it also adds a lot of complexity, especially when all you want to do is simple I/O. To make the BeagleBone easier to use, the BeagleBoard folks have produce Bonescript, a node.js based language featuring Arduino-style functions. Bonescript can run in a brower or in the Cloud9 IDE.
TI has realized that not everyone wants or needs a OS, so TI created StarterWare. StarterWare components include peripheral drivers, the IwIP TCP/IP stack, MMC/SD drivers, and simple graphics borrowed from StellarisWare.
StarterWare can also be combined with an OS; TI’s SYS/BIOS combines StarterWare with a RTOS, and is used by the real time Ethernet drivers for the Sitara AM3359-based ICE (Industrial Communications Engine). Since the BeagleBone uses a similar CPU (AM3358 or AM3359), it should be easy to get the Sitara SYS/BIOS working (although the EtherCAT client won’t work on a AM3358).
There are other ultra low cost (<$50) Linux boards, including the aforementioned Raspberry Pi, the OLinuXino ($30-$80), the Aria G25 SOM, the Cosmic board (based on the intriguing Freescale Vybrid SoC) and possibly others. If you just want to run Linux, and maybe use some I2C, SPI, or UART ports, all will do the job.
The i.MX233 and Allwinner A13-based OLinuXino’s have two big advantages: they’re easier to use in your own design because they do not use any BGA chips (which are unaffordable to assemble in small quantities), and the schematics are in Eagle PCB (which is much more affordable than Allegro which is used by the BeagleBone).
The BeagleBone’s big advantages are its peripherals (especially the PRUSS, GPMC, HRPWM, and eQEPs, which give it a big edge in control applications) and its expanding cape ecosystem, which make it easier to get something built without doing a lot of custom design. It really is a kind of Raspberry-Duino.
All of the ultra low cost Linux boards provide a lot of bang for the buck. For example, the BeagleBone Black versus the Arduino Due (~$50) looks like no contest: 1GHz vs 84MHz, 512M DRAM vs 96K SRAM, 2G flash vs 512K flash. The Due has better analog I/O, but the ‘Bone has better digital I/O, Ethernet, high speed USB, and more.
Arduinos are still going to be around because of its extensive ecosystem and ease of use. Heck, BASIC Stamps are still around. For example, my nephew is getting an Arduino because of its simplicity, the size of Arduino ecosystem (it’s so easy for him to find examples), and because he’s not ready to benefit from the BeagleBone’s extra features.
Custom PCBs with microcontrollers aren’t going anywhere, either. Think about the challenges in fitting a RPi or BeagleBone into a case that fits your product, but still provide access to all of the connectors… And, if you don’t need the extra compute power, these little Linux boards still add cost, complexity, size, and power compared to a single chip microcontroller.
I think BeagleBone could use an easy to hack, close to the metal solution such as a straight port of eLua, or a “eLua-JIT” port consisting of the LuaJIT Just-in-Time Lua compiler, libraries similar to eLua’s, resting on the base of StarterWare or maybe SYS/BIOS + StarterWare.
I think the BeagleBone is similar to the PC: frequently used in embedded applications because they provide great price/performance, and rapid development because there’s lots of hardware, software, and documentation available. Similarly, the BeagleBone might cost more than a full custom solution, but for one-off or small volume projects can provide a much quicker solution with its software (Linux, Android, etc) and available capes. (To be fair, the Arduino already provides a similar environment for rapid prototyping).
P.S. – After I wrote all of this, I realized that most of my post also applies to the original BeagleBone — except the Black’s price is 50% lower, and that makes all the difference in the world. Last year, if I had needed a little Linux controller board, I would have seriously considered the RPi over the BeagleBone; now, using the Black is the obvious choice for me.
P.P.S. 11/1/2013 – I’ve done some more updating.
I’ve had a fun time watching CAD pricing gyrations, especially Alibre’s pricing. TI has also varied pricing on Code Composer Studio (CCS) Platinum; most of the time it’s been $3595, it was $995 for a couple months, and it’s been around $2000. All the time the annual maintenance was $600/year.
Now a new node-locked license is $445 and annual maintenance is $99/year. A floating license is $795 with annual renewal at $159/year. TI calls this Promotional Pricing, so the price may go up, but with the drop in the yearly maintenance, I think they’ll keep the prices low.
Deelip and others think pricing too low is bad for CAD. I think there’s a point to this: the CAD (and embedded) market size is only somewhat elastic, and there are significant switching costs, so if you cut prices too much, your market size won’t increase much, but your revenues will go down.
However, TI is in the semiconductor business, not the software business, and the point of CCS is to sell more TI chips. Also, unlike the CAD space, there is significant open source competition (gcc and such). My guess is that TI will, over several years, significantly benefit from this; I suspect a major goal is to increase microcontroller developers’ familiarity with the rest of the TI processor (MCU, MPU, DSP) lineup. For example, my brother is more likely to design in a TI C6000 or OMAP processor after this price cut.
CCS is a great value; it includes the IDE and development tools for all of TI’s processors (MSP430 MCU, C28xx DSP, Stellaris MCU, C5000 DSP, C6000 DSP, TMS570 safety MCU, high-end ARM, etc) and a royalty free run time license for TI’s DSP/BIOS RTOS. Most commercial embedded IDE’s are quite pricey, typically starting at $1000 or more for a single architecture.
There’s always one company has has to different.  Back when Maxtor was independent, they spun their disks backwards from everyone else, and numbered their heads from top to bottom, instead of bottom to top like everyone else does.
Microchip is acting the same. When everyone else, it seems, is using ARM cores for microcontrollers, they picked MIPS cores for the PIC32 micro-controller (MCU) family. Their new IDE, MPLAB-X is based on NetBeans, instead of Eclipse.
I don’t think the MIPS versus ARM core is a big deal; maybe Microchip got a much better deal from MIPS. Switching between ARM MCU vendors isn’t easy because all the peripherals are different. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s easier to port C code from a PIC24 (16-bit proprietary) to a PIC32 (32-bit MIPS) than from (to take a random example) an Atmel SAM7 to a TI Stellaris MCU simply because the peripherals are much more similar on the PIC MCUs.
On the other hand, I don’t see the advantages of NetBeans over Eclipse. Both are Java-based IDEs. Both are open source. Both are cross-platform. (Note that an IDE based on either one might not be cross-platform, depending on device drivers for emulators and such. TI’s Code Composer Studio V4 (based on Eclipse) only runs on Windows; V5 adds Linux. MPLAB-X has beta downloads for Windows, Linux, and Mac).
NetBeans is primarily known for an excellent GUI builder, which typically isn’t important in embedded development. I don’t know of any other companies using it for embedded development (or non-Java programming). Even in the Java world, it’s been a distant second to Eclipse.
Eclipse has been used for non-Java programming (e.g. the C Development Tools or CDT) and embedded programming for a long time, and has many companies supporting it. So Eclipse should develop a lot faster than NetBeans, and has the advantage of many more plugins. Plus, Eclipse is run by an independent foundation, not by a company (Oracle) that likes to get paid.
Microchip is not very supportive of open source (unlike most ARM MCU companies). On the good side, the PIC32 compiler lite version does not have any code size limitations; instead, Microchip removed optimization support.
Microchip is also a good source of low pin count chips, and is one of the few companies still selling MCUs in easy to prototype plastic DIP packages. For example, you can get a 16-bit dspPIC33F with a CAN controller in 28 pin SOIC, QFN, and DIP packages.
I find Microchip’s mTouch Metal over Capacitor technology interesting: it allows capacitive sensing of metal buttons. | 2019-04-23T12:03:08 | http://factoryswblog.org/category/embedded/ |
Hey, Gerald...and a big "Roll Tide" back at you! I hope Chelsea will have a good football team in the fall. I have a rising varsity player paying his dues in the weight room this spring, and I'm having a hard time keeping him fed! I know you understand that!
Our family just returned from WDW where we spent a day at Typhoon Lagoon and had a blast! We've been to Blizzard Beach before, and I would be hard pressed to choose between the two. At the time of this posting, the prices for each water park are $45 per adult and $39 per child (ages 3-9). We also like Winter Summerland mini-golf course and Fantasia Gardens. Winter Summerland is more whimsical and usually appeals to the youngest travelers while my husband and teen son enjoy the challenge of Fantasia Fairways. Both courses are $12 for adults and $10 for children and are usually open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Depending upon when you're going...if you want to make a day of a water park and mini golf, I definitely would recommend going to Blizzard Beach as soon as it opens, bringing clothes to change into and then topping the evening off at Winter Summerland since its located adjacent to Blizzard Beach. I hope this helps with your planning, and let me know if you have more questions. Have a beautiful Alabama day and a most magical vacation! | 2019-04-24T04:02:20 | https://disneyparksmomspanel.disney.go.com/question/purchase-day-water-parkmini-golf-ticket-priceadults-80030/ |
THE Big 8 of the Caribbean Welders Fishing Pond Football League will be decided this weekend with the final round of the matches in the group phase kicking off. Group A is going down to the wire with three of the four Big 8 qualifying spots already taken. Former winners Dream Team are clinging to the fourth and final spot with 11 points from six matches. Defending champions Take That and Cool It are staring elimination in fifth place, with nine points from six games after a sluggish start to the season. 'Cool It' need to defeat group leaders Pinto United at 2pm tomorrow and hope Dream Team drop points at 4pm against an Alexcon FC team with nothing to play for. 'Cool It' have typically been slow starters in the league and built momentum towards the Big 8 which they have won for two years in a row. This year, however, they've left it late and out of their hands and will need luck to go their way on Sunday.
Today at 4pm, Sangre Chiquito get a final shot at the Big 8, but need to defeat Friends and Family. Sangre Chiquito have been wildly inconsistent with two wins and three losses so far and sit in sixth place in their group. Fortunately, they face the cellar-placed Friends and Family and can leap into third place with three points. In the earlier match of today's doubleheader, G Madrid meet Manzanilla in a clash between two teams already in the Big 8.
In recent results, Quash Trace stunned Boys Town 2-1 with goals from Tavarous Boswell and Brian Sookraj. Brent Jackson responded for Boys Town.
Also, Pinto ended Alexcon FC's season with a 3-1 result. Pinto's goals came from Noel Charles, Clint Mark and Cody St Clair. Darion Robinson was responsible for Alexcon getting on the scoresheet.
Gremio and Manzan were both 3-0 winners over Friends and Family and Walcott FC who lost by default. | 2019-04-26T03:52:23 | http://socawarriors.net/minor-leagues/21327-battle-for-big-8-spots-in-fishing-pond.html |

Easy Day 5 Miles and a Busy Saturday!
So it is Saturday again. Saturday’s are busy for us as a family. We have Soccer games for Aaron at 9:00am and then we have piano lessons for the entire family. Today we are doing the lessons at our teachers house as that is where we are having a piano recital this Friday. Today is a dry run for that. We are then meeting with friends to get the kids together and have have some fun.
So before all of that I needed to get in my training for the day. Today is a going to be a hot one here in the Philadelphia area. It is to be in 90’s F which will be helpful for me to begin to get used to this heat. The run today was set to be an easy run as I am racing a 5K tomorrow and the goal for tomorrow is to race that all out and see where my fitness is at this point. So today I ran on the CRS 5 mile loop. I started at 7:00 am this mornign and it was already in the 70’s and humid. I was happy to feel the warmer weather. The first mile or so I was still asleep by 2 mile in I was forcing myself to not run sub 7’s. That is hopefully a good sign. I am looking forward to a good test tomorrow on fast course.
45 days until I leave for Israel, 47 days until the opening ceremony and 51 days until the Maccabiah Games Half Marathon!

Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies bolster the antitumor activity of CD8+ T lymphocytes. Wang et al. used single-cell analysis of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes to probe the mechanisms responsible for their observation that a combination of blocking anti–PD-1 and agonist anti-GITR antibodies enhanced tumor control in mouse cancer models. This combination immunotherapy led to a synergistic increase in tumor antigen–specific memory precursor effector T cells dependent on availability of the CD226 costimulatory pathway. Biochemical studies in liposomes identified CD226 as an additional target of dephosphorylation mediated by the PD-1–SHP2 complex. These results provide a mechanistic rationale for conducting further clinical trials of combined anti-GITR and anti–PD-1 immunotherapy in human cancer.
Most patients with cancer do not develop durable antitumor responses after programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1) checkpoint inhibition monotherapy because of an ephemeral reversal of T cell dysfunction and failure to promote long-lasting immunological T cell memory. Activating costimulatory pathways to induce stronger T cell activation may improve the efficacy of checkpoint inhibition and lead to durable antitumor responses. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing of more than 2000 tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells in mice receiving both PD-1 and GITR (glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor–related protein) antibodies and found that this combination synergistically enhanced the effector function of expanded CD8+ T cells by restoring the balance of key homeostatic regulators CD226 and T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT), leading to a robust survival benefit. Combination therapy decreased CD8+ T cell dysfunction and induced a highly proliferative precursor effector memory T cell phenotype in a CD226-dependent manner. PD-1 inhibition rescued CD226 activity by preventing PD-1–Src homology region 2 (SHP2) dephosphophorylation of the CD226 intracellular domain, whereas GITR agonism decreased TIGIT expression. Unmasking the molecular pathways driving durable antitumor responses will be essential to the development of rational approaches to optimizing cancer immunotherapy.
Synergistic CD8+ T cell activation by antibodies to PD-1 and GITR in cancer immunotherapy depends on the CD226 costimulatory pathway. | 2019-04-19T17:17:33 | https://immunology.sciencemag.org/content/3/29/eaat7061 |
We need to sleep as much as 7-8 hours a day to maintain brain health. When we rested, the brain collects a variety of incoming information and organize it properly. Conversely, lack of sleep can interfere with performance and mood.
Apples contain antioxidants that can increase levels of asetilkolina in the brain. Apples also contain quercetin, or a type of flavonoid that serves to protect brain cells from free radicals.
Omega-3 is widely available in salmon, tuna, and tuna. These fatty acids are beneficial to improve communication between nerve cells. New research says omega-3 can protect brain cells from Alzheimer's risk.
Meditation can produce gamma waves in the brain. These waves are associated with attention, memory and learning ability. Researchers from Emory University found that those who diligently meditate tend to avoid the risk of dementia and brain damage.
Sports are not only healthy body but also the brain. When exercising, the brain produce BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), a protein that serves to strengthen the neuron. BDNF brain containing a lot can accommodate more information. To increase levels of BDNF, latukan regular aerobic exercise. Other studies claim on foot gives the same benefits.
Recent research has found that exercise is intended to build muscle, such as yoga and lifting weights, can raise levels of chemical compounds that affect the growth of neurons. | 2019-04-22T19:01:53 | http://www.tipdisease.com/2013/11/how-to-keep-intelligent-brains-and.html |
These words are from a YouTube video by WalkRunFlyProductions featuring Daniel J. Watts. I discovered the video after reading my latest Elon Magazine issue. Watts is a fellow Elon alumni currently living in New York City. I watched the video silently and wept loudly. I also sent a tweet to Watts thanking him for his poetic words.
I was intrigued by a recent lead-in for the TV program Face the Nation. Host Bob Schieffer interviewed New York Police Commissioner William Bratton and NAACP President Cornell Williams Brothers. While the segment provided valuable perspective from both sides, I was drawn to Brothers’ analysis.
As an active LinkedIn user with an interest in workplace inclusion and diversity, I read an amazing blog by David Grinsberg, a strategic communications advisor and former journalist. He connected current events, applied them to the workplace and then asked questions. His query forces us to reflect and demands that we be present versus removed from current events.
Hall is the 12-year-old boy who captured our hearts with his ‘Free Hugs’ sign at a protest. Sgt. Bret Barnum equally captured our hearts by taking him up on his offer.
Movements are fueling conversation and for that single aspect, they are a beautiful thing. They are inclusive of all ages, not just youth. They encompass all colors, not just one. They know no lines drawn by politics, geography, class or culture. Communities are coming together to say we want change that is not just retrospective but introspective and deeply encompassing.
I say YES! We are long overdue but may 2015 be the year we eradicate illness of inequity.
This reminds me of a talk by Thich Nhat Hanh that I want to share with you on the compassion and non-discrimination is one of the ways to a true equality in society everywhere, I believe.
This blog needs to be longer! Well written and well thought out. I have been torn intrinsically about this race debate and police conduct. I think what the greater good is trying to say is that we must examine this issue and take the racial inequalities that remain around us and still exist today seriously. It is not okay to choose any side without all the facts present and it is also not okay to turn away from the words and feelings of those with darker skin that have known this kind of injustice. We must listen to each other and learn from each other. I do not walk in your shoes but I can hold your hand as we walk together. Thanks Debbie for this amazing read and for your thoughts on this issue.
I can definitely feel a movement. It’s hard to talk about things and I am discovering, even harder to listen. My husband talks about this a lot. Sometimes we have much to say about our own beliefs and are afraid of what we may hear. I would take it a step further and say that we are also fearful that there is nothing we can do about it. The beauty is that we can and we will. It’s happening. Thanks for your post.
Ladies – Dretta, Theresa and Hang – Thank you for your thoughtful reflections. I’ve had several readers say they liked this post but didn’t comment. I wish they would. This topic requires voice and discussion to grow and expand in its understanding and resolution. I appreciate your perspectives from your lived and cultural perspectives. | 2019-04-18T17:02:32 | https://seachangebranding.com/illness-inequity/ |
