November concluded with another $100+ million weekend, resulting in the first time ever that the total gross for the month November passed $1 billion and making November 2012 the 10th-biggest month in box-office on record. It is the only non-summer month in the all-time Top 10 of the biggest months ever. That’s not so surprising now. Afterall, the month has already produced two $200+ million grosser, one $150+ million grosser and at least two more November releases are guaranteed to past $100 million when all is said and done. Typically, the post-Thanksgiving weekend was considerably slower than the weekends before it, but thanks to coming off a huge frame, even a 47.1% drop for the Top 12 cume led to a $106.1 million gross, making it the biggest post-Thanksgiving weekend ever and the first one to pass the $100 million-mark. Compared to the same weekend last year, the box-office was up a whopping 44.1%. 2012 is now up 6.6% from 2011 and 4.1% from 2009 (the biggest year for domestic box-office ever).\nThe Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 retained the top spot once again, decreasing 60.1% to $17.4 million, bringing its 17-day cume to $254.6 million and crashing into this year’s Top 5. It is in line with Part 1’s 60.3% post-Thanksgiving drop, but a tad better than New Moon’s 64% decline. It was also the biggest third weekend gross the Twilight franchise has ever delivered. Breaking Dawn Part 2 is now tracking around $7.5 million ahead of its immediate predecessor and keeps gaining on New Moon, now less than $1 million behind it after the same period of time. Less than $27 million away from Part 1’s final gross ($281.3 million), Breaking Dawn Part 2 is a lock to pas it and looks very likely to hit $290 million now. It will face direct competition for female audiences, however, with next weekend’s Playing for Keeps. While it won’t set the box-office on fire, it should still directly target Breaking Dawn’s demographics. If the film can withstand that competition well enough, then it will have a fair shot at becoming only the second Twilight movie to hit the $300 million mark. Coming off a weekend that is around $2 million higher than New Moon’s third outing, Breaking Dawn Part 2 should almost certainly hit at least $295 million (New Moon finished with $296.6 million). Once the film gets within $1-2 million of $300 million, Summit will probably do anything to ensure, that it’ll pass it. However, one harsh drop could change it all. Right now, it looks good for $295-305 million range; though it is still hard to tell which side of the barrier it will fall on.\nSkyfall handily won the second spot of the box-office for the third weekend in a row. In its fourth weekend, the film grossed $16.6 million, missing out on the top spot by less than $1 million. The movie’s 53.4% drop is slightly worse than Casino Royale’s 50.9% decline over the post-Thanksgiving frame in 2006, but at the same time vastly better than Quantum on Solace’s 64.1% drop. With $245.6 million in the bag, it is already the year’s 6th-biggest film and tracking roughly $94 million ahead of Quantum of Solace. Compared to other recent surprising blockbusters, Skyfall is around $18 million ahead of Inception, $36 million ahead of the Star Trek reboot, but $7 million behind the first Iron Man. Next weekend, the film will face no direct competition as its older, primarily male demographics shouldn’t be toched much by the only new wide release, Playing for Keeps. A week later, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is certain to hit it hard, not least by taking away most of its IMAX screens and another week later, its theatre count and screen count will suffer greatly under the onslaught of four new wide releases, including direct action competition, courtesy of Jack Reacher. On the other hand, Skyfall should benefit well from Christmas. I expect it to stay in the Top 10 all the way until the end of December and play well into January. This weekend’s solid hold pretty much assured a $300+ million finish for the film. It’ll be an interesting and extremely close battle between this and Breaking Dawn Part 2 for the November crown. Should Skyfall lose it, it’ll still be regarded as a huge surprise for even challenging Breaking Dawn. However, if it wins the race (which I suspect it will), it’ll go down as one of the biggest box-office upsets in recent years. Either way, a $300+ million-grossing James Bond movie is right up there with The Hunger Games and The Avengers for the year’s most incredible success stories. I expect a $300-305 million domestic finish, whereas worldwide it is well on its way to pass $1 billion.\nAfter a hugely disappointing start last weekend, DreamWorks’ Rise of the Guardians slightly redeemed itself by delivering the best decline in the Top 10. Down just 43.7%, the animated flick rose one spot to #3 and added $13.4 million to its total, bringing its 12-day cume to $48.8 million. Despite the good hold, it is still a paltry number for what was supposed to be DreamWorks’ big Christmas flick of 2012. Given the $145 million production budget, it has a very long way to go to recoup the costs. At least it looks like its word-of-mouth (indicated by last weekend’s “A”-CinemaScore) is kicking in already. With no competition next weekend, I expect a great hold, followed by a very leggy run until Christmas. Now most Christmas-themed movies (The Polar Express, A Christmas Carol and Christmas with the Kranks just to name a few) usually drop like a rock once Christmas Eve passes. However, with Rise of the Guardians’ marketing not focusing solely on the Christmas aspect (in fact, Cjristmas as a holiday doesn’t even play a large role in the film), it might avoid this fate and play well into January. It should be noted that, in an amazing example of terrible scheduling, January is currently devoid of any family-oriented releases. In fact, out of the nine wide releases in January, seven are currently rated R, one is rated PG-13 and one (The Last Stand) is not yet rated. While this will make sure that all these films will eat into one another, it will also help family-friendly holdovers like Rise of the Guardians, Wreck-It Ralph and The Hobbit. Therefore, I have little doubts that even despite its sluggish start, Rise of the Guardians will make it to more than $100 million, finishing somewhere around $100-110 million. It’s certainly less than Paramount/DreamWorks hoped for, but not an embarrassment feared after its pathetic opening day.\nSteven Spielberg’s awards season frontrunner Lincoln slid down one spot to #4 of the box-office, losing 47.9% of its audience in the process. The film took in another $13.4 million over the three-day period and brought its running cume to $83.6 million. After just three weeks in wide release, Lincoln has beaten the total grosses of Spielberg’s two films in 2012 – The Adventures of Tintin ($77.6 million) and War Horse ($79.9 million). It must be noted that Disney hasn’t added new theatres this weekend, leaving the film’s theatre count at 2,018 and thus giving it the best per-theatre-average among all wide releases. With a $65 million budget to boot, Lincoln is well on its way to become a bona fide success and its run is still far from being close to its end. With the heat of the awards season still ahead, Christmas support (it should remain the top choice for adult audiences over the course of the month), splendid WoM and likely further expansion, it is a shoe-in for $150+ million. In fact, I fully expect it to at least approach the mark by the time the Oscar nominations are announced. Its final gross is of course hard to pinpoint now as it will very much depend upon how well it will perform at the Oscars ceremony. However, even if it doesn’t take home the big trophy, it should be guaranteed to finish in the $165-175 million range. Should it win big, though, I wouldn’t rule out a $200+ million finish.\nAng Lee’s Life of Pi held relatively well at #5, declining 45.9% to $12.2 million and bringing its running total to $48.5 million by the end of its second weekend. Like the aforementioned Rise of the Guardians, Life of Pi will also benefit from the overwhelming number of R-rated movies in January, but will also be helped by the certain amount of Oscar buzz and (likely) multiple major nominations. That should give it the edge in the race between it and Rise of the Guardians and put it on track towards a $110-120 million finish. It has the potential to go higher, but I think that it will suffer under the arrival of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Life of Pi is heavily marketed as a visual feast for eyes and The Hobbit will certainly take its place in the spotlight soon as far as visuals are concerned. Still, the film has turned out a bigger success than most have ever expected.\nWreck-It Ralph held on to its last weekend’s spot as well. At #6 it dropped an expected 58.1% (after its previous weekend has been inflated by Thanksgiving) and managed to gross $6.9 million for a total of $158.2 million after five weeks on release. It has become the 14th movie this year to pass $150 million and has advanced to #13 on the yearly chart. Very soon it will pass Ice Age: Continental Drift’s $160.9 million and become the 4th-biggest animated feature of 2012. It is still around $19 million ahead of Tangled, but Tangled will be catching up fast now. Like Rise of the Guardians and Life of Pi, it will benefit from the lack of competition in January, but I still don’t think it’ll have the stamina to make it to $200 million. Around $185-190 million seems like the more likely outcome right now.\nThe Brad Pitt-starrer Killing Them Softly opened softly at #7, delivering $6.8 million from 2,424 venues for a pitiful PTA of $2,811. While the $15 million budget makes the opening look okay, it is pretty bad for the film’s leading star, Brad Pitt. However, one has to go back to 1994 and The Favor to find the last wide release starring Brad Pitt with a worse opening weekend. In fact, Pitt’s last ten live-action wide releases have opened to $33.6 million on average, with none of them making less than $19 million opening weekend. Things aren’t looking too bright for its future either. While the majority of the critics liked the film, the audiences certainly did not, making it only the 8th movie to receive the feared “F”-CinemaScore. It joins the ranks of The Devil Inside, Silent House and The Box. All of these films had terrible legs and it should be no different for Killing Them Softly. I expect the film to vanish from most theatres within the next two weeks, ending its run with around $13-15 million.\nDown a slot to #8, Red Dawn made $6.5 million (down 54.5%) from Friday to Sunday and out its current total at $31.3 million after 12 days. This is nothing to boast about, given the $65 million budget, but given its years-long delay, things could have turned out worse. It will find its way to a $45 million total.\nRobert Zemeckis’ Flight continued its struggle towards $100 million at #9 of the box-office. In its 5th weekend, the Denzel Washington-starring drama made around $4.5 million, down 47% from last weekend. The film has grossed $81.5 million by now, making it Washington’s 9th-biggest domestic grosser unadjusted for inflation and putting it just behind Unstoppable. Flight is tracking $7 million ahead of Tony Scott’s film in the same time period and should keep gaining ground over the next weeks. It’ll take until January that the Oscar buzz for Washington will really take off, but if it is strong enough, I could see resurgence for the film. Right now, I believe it’ll crawl to $100 million by the end of its run, even though it might take it until February to do so.\nThe Collection, a follow-up to the 2009 horror flick The Collector opened quietly at #10 with $3.1 million from 1,403 locations ($2,213 PTA). The opening is very similar to that of its predecessor ($3.6 million from 1,325 venues). The first film wasn’t exactly a prime example of longevity, finishing with $7.7 million. I believe the sequel will follow suit, leaving the theatres with $7 million in its pockets. It should do very well on DVD/BluRay, though.\nSilver Linings Playbook, David O. Russell’s new Oscars hopeful after The Fighter, dropped out of the Top 10 to #11, but delivered the best hold in the entire Top 12. Even though the film has added just four theatres, it decreased a mere 29.5% to $3.1 million. The film has collected $10.7 million so far and hasn’t even hit 400 theatres yet. I expect it to expand well throughout the month and strong Oscar buzz will carry it well beyond $50 million. Should it become a real contender for major awards, then I wouldn’t even rule out $100 million.\nThe only significant expansion this weekend was given to Anna Karenina, which went from 66 theatres to 384 and grossed $2.2 million over the weekend. The period flick averaged $5,848 per theatre. Its running total stands at $4.1 million. The reviews on the film are mixed as is the WoM. Its outwards status as a potential awards contender and the tremendous popularity of its source material will help it, but I still don’t expect anything more than $20-25 million, especially since it is actually not a serious contender for any awards.\nI other news, Argo has cracked $100 million in its 8th weekend, bringing its cume to $101 million as it landed at #13 this weekend. With strong awards buzz, it still has a long way to go. I see it winding up with $115-120 million eventually. Meanwhile, Hitchcock expanded from 17 theatres to 50, but its weekend gross jumped just 42% to around $409,000 for a paltry PTA of $8,174. Even with awards buzz for its actors, it’ll have a hard time making more than $5-6 million.

Hi! I’m Cameron. I build websites.\nI was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. At the age of 13, I took an interest in web sites. I wanted to know what made them tick, and I wanted to know how I could make one for myself. I asked my father if he knew how, and his recommendation was to look it up online.\nAfter college, I kept working for my boss from the U of O job, only to find myself yearning for something more. I reached out to a software company called Jama Software, where I applied to be an intern web developer and UX engineer. I got the internship, and after 3 months, they hired me on full-time.\nI stayed with Jama for a little over a year before I felt a yearning again. This time, it was to go on a long bike tour. So, I packed up all my belongings and bought a touring bike and set out for British Columbia, where I toured the gulf islands for a few months.\nReturning home, I continued to coast on my savings from my previous job, then decided I was going to focus on freelancing full time. This was back in 2011. I haven’t looked back since!\nI’ve hired Cameron numerous times over the years and he’s always come through with brilliant results! On top of that, he’s quick to respond and address any issues I may have. Whenever anyone asks who my web guy is or needing web design advice, I always point them to Cameron! Highly, HIGHLY recommended.\nCameron did a great job for us in designing graphics that we have used in multiple marketing pieces. He completed the work ahead of schedule on a tight timeline. Also, his pricing was very competive.\nOne of the best things about Cam is that he’s a technical expert who also is skilled at making dramatic website “look and feel” enhancements. In addition Cam optimized our website for mobile viewing, which in 2018 is critically important.\nI worked with Pollinate to create this site for children diagnosed with cancer in the attempt to empower them through music, learning and playing. I was the co-developer for this challenging and fun project. Amongst other things, I built a system to tally all user activities and award badges for various accomplishments, like learning to play the ukulele.\nI helped lead the development of the largest WordPress site I’ve had the pleasure to work on. Energy Trust needed to update and reorganize their site to bring it into the modern age. Highlights of the project include building an interactive success stories map, an animated home page slider, and a custom Vue.js powered “Find a Contractor” tool utilizing their JSON API service.\nI worked with Pollinate to develop a WordPress theme for this local umbrella company. I was given designs and tasked with converting them to code. My favorite part of this project was developing the AJAX-powered filterable product listing.\nI worked with some of the best emergency medicine residency facilitators at Harvard University to completely overhaul their existing web presence. Using WordPress, I designed and developed their site from scratch. One key feature included importing their alumni and residents from a spreadsheet into a custom post type, then automatically inserting alumni into a map.\nI made this site for my lovely partner, who is helping empower women through reconnecting with their own inner wisdom.\nI was contracted by Pollinate, a Portland-based ad agency and web development firm, to collaborate with their design team to build a WordPress site for local grocery chain New Seasons Market. My work included custom front-end scripting & back-end PHP programming.\nI worked with Harvard University’s Humanitarian Initiative to transform their web presence to a radical new design featuring big, captivating imagery.\nI designed and customized a WordPress theme for this local Portland IT business.\nI developed a complete e-commerce solution with WordPress and Stripe. The client needed a shopping cart solution that allowed for a customer to purchase a subscription to a wine club and pay for it later. Since WooCommerce didn’t have that option, I built a custom solution with PHP.\nI helped a friend of the family achieve the professional look his knives deserve with a custom designed WordPress theme.

3/31/18 Brings us a Blue Moon, in Virgo.\nWhat a nice way to segue into April. The energies of Moon in Virgo are calming, bringing more logic and deductive skills out in the collective mind. Virgos get to enjoy their 11th house ruler, bringing income and gain their way, and fulfillment of desire.\nSATURN is such a slow moving planet, that it’s been some time since I’ve written about its travels and how that affects the signs it rules, Capricorn and Aquarius, so it seems only fair to focus on that some. Since 10/26/17 Saturn has been crossing the sign of Sagittarius. This is the 12th house for those with Capricorn Rising or Moon charts. This house is all about loss, expenses, isolation or seclusion. Caps do need to watch their spending now, and do their best to push themselves out into the crowd to mingle with fellow humans, to avoid feeling the worst impacts of loneliness, which this transit can bring. Going on spiritual retreats is advised now, as that is an excellent way to utilize the potential for Enlightenment that a 12th house transit also provides.\nFor Aquarians, Saturn, the lord of their chart, is traveling through their 11th house, so it can bring income and gain their way, with less effort than previously, so it is a positive experience, for the most part.\nSAGITTARIUS is playing host to Saturn. That can bring the ability to focus and work hard for those with this Rising or Moon sign. Life may seem somewhat hectic, too, with all the responsibilities that Saturn brings. Since MARS has also been transitting this fire sign since March 7th, and Mars and Saturn are enemies, there may be feelings of being pushed in one direction and pulled in the opposite direction. Definitely a “hurry up, and then wait” sensation. Mars will remain in this sign until May 2nd, so the internal angst can ease up some then.\n4/08/18 – Mercury gets out of combustion with the Sun. This improves communications and tactful interactions overall, and brings relief to those with either Gemini or Virgo Rising or Moon signs, which are ruled by Mercury.\n4/13/18 – The SUN enters Aries, where it experiences Exalted dignity. The Leos, who are ruled by the Sun, will enjoy this exalted status, especially as Aries represents their 9th house of good luck, good fortune, remedies, pilgrimage and Natural Law. For those with Aries Ascendants or Moon sign people, the Sun rules their 5th house of success, romance, and educations, highlighting these qualities in their lives now.\n4/15/18 – MERCURY GOES DIRECT. As usual, this brings relief to interpersonal communications. Did you notice any snags with technical equipment or anything related to correspondence during this time? Virgos and Geminis can experience forward movement now, in their projects and career.\n4/17/18 – SATURN goes retrograde. Its malefic qualities get stronger when it is in retrograde status. This can bring some feelings of depression or being down to those with Sagittarius Rising or especially with that Moon sign, as they are in Sadhe Sati at this time, and have to deal with obstacles, delays and hard work, during this cycle anyway. Now add the retrograde condition…so try to nurture and take care of yourselves at this time! It will stay retrograde until 9/06/18.\n4/19/18 – VENUS enters Taurus, its own sign, where it is happy and powerful. This brings more comforts and luxuries to those with Taurus Rising or Moons, including the enjoyment of the arts, beauty or music. For Libras, also ruled by Venus, this is an 8th house transit…which is all about Transformation, and can also bring them some vulnerability. Venus remains here until May 14th.\nRemember that for any difficult transit or dasha period (personal planetary cycle) there are ancient Vedic remedies known as Yagyas, which I can describe to you, to alleviate some layers of obstacles. These are most beneficial for “engineering the karma” away from the owner of the chart.

Do you have plans to borrow a debt consolidation loan to help pay off your multiple credit obligations? While this is an effective way for you to get out of debt, you need to make sure that it is the perfect solution for you. There are a lot of debt relief programs that you can use to aid yourself in your quest to achieve debt freedom. You have to choose the right option that is perfect for your specific financial situation.\nIf you take notice of current reports, you will realize that there is a need for consumers to get serious about debt relief. Apparently, the outstanding balance in almost all debt categories increased. That is not really alarming yet – until you find out that the average delinquency rates are rising with it.\nIn a consumerist society like ours, the rising use of debt is an indication of consumer confidence. That means people are more confident in spending their money. Since the economy is reliant on consumer spending, this will make the economy stronger.\nBut only if the debt is being paid back. If the delinquency rates are rising, that means people are borrowing more than what they can afford. This can eventually lead to an economic crisis.\nIf you find yourself with a growing debt, you need to start thinking about your options to pay it back. Among all your options, consolidating debts seems like the first thing that comes to mind.\nWhile borrowing a debt consolidation loan is effective, you have to make sure that it is the perfect solution for you first. If it turns out to be the wrong solution, you will just end up making your situation worse.\nFortunately, there are a couple of questions that you can ask yourself so you can be sure that this is the right debt solution for you.\nThere are a lot of things to consider when borrowing any type of loan. The interest rate is among the most important that you should look into. This will affect your monthly payments. The lower the interest rate, the better it will be for you. Since you are using this to consolidate debt, you need to get the average interest rate of all your debts. Then, check if the debt consolidation loan that you will borrow has a lower interest rate. If not, then there is no sense in pushing through with the loan. You will just be spending more if you pursue this option.\nThe best way to get a low-interest rate on a loan is to have a good credit score. When you have a good score, it is a strong indication that you can be trusted with credit. You are responsible enough to pay what you owe. The lender or creditor will not feel the need to protect themselves from the possibility of you not paying them back – which is usually done through a higher interest rate.\nThis is actually a very important question. It does not matter if the interest rate is high or low. It will also not matter if you have a very good credit score. If you cannot afford the monthly payments, there is no sense in using a debt consolidation loan. According to statistics, there are more Millennials who are delinquent with personal loan payments compared to the older generations. You need to be smarter with this particular debt solution if you want to use it to achieve debt freedom. If you cannot pay this back, then you are just wasting your time, effort, and money. It might be best for you to just leave your debts as it is.\nA debt consolidation loan can be longer or shorter. It depends on your specific financial situation and goals. If you need a lower monthly payment because of your limited budget, then you need to get a loan that offers a longer repayment period. However, if you wanted to get a debt consolidation loan so you can save money, it is better to get a shorter payment period. A shorter the period, the less you have to pay on the interest.\nKnowing the repayment period will also help you understand how long you have to adjust your budget to accommodate the payments. If you have goals, you may have to postpone them until after you have paid off this debt – or at least paid a significant part of it.\nIn case you find that the answers to the questions prove that a debt consolidation loan is not a good idea, do not worry. There are other options for you to look into for help. And we do not mean borrowing a personal loan. These options will still consolidate your debts but will not involve a loan.\nAmong your other options include debt management – which involves the help of a credit counselor. You will create a debt management plan that will include a customized repayment plan based on your financial capabilities. This will be presented to the creditors and lenders for approval. If they approve, your credit accounts will be frozen and you will pay down your balance. You just have to submit one amount to the credit counselor and they will be responsible for distributing that to your different creditors and lenders.\nAnother option is balance transfer. You get a new credit card that offers a 0% interest introductory period. That means you can transfer all your balance in this new card and every payment that you will make will all be credited to your principal balance. At least, this is until the introductory period is over. To really benefit from this, you have to make sure that you can pay off all the debt before the 0% interest expires.\nIf you need a debt reduction, then you might want to go for debt settlement. The whole concept of this debt solution is to negotiate your balance with the creditors and lenders. You will ask them to allow you to pay a portion of the debt and have the rest forgiven.\nConsider these options if a debt consolidation loan is not possible.

I’m starting to get used to waking up in the new apartment. It already feels like home, and even more so with a mug of coffee, listening to Johnny Cash, and trying to figure out what to do with the day. Well, other than playing with the Punkt MP02, which arrived yesterday. I really liked the previous model, so this is a treat.

Bleach spots can be easily and perfectly repaired by a carpet dyeing professional. Depending on the skill level of the dye technician, the spots can be re-dyed, bringing them back a perfect color match with the surrounding carpet. The dyes are completely permanent and will not come out when the carpet is cleaned.\nThe dye technician will first neutralize the bleach in the carpet to deactivate it (this cannot be done by simply rinsing with water. The bleach must be neutralized chemically or the spots will simply continue to fade out due the presence of active bleach). The technician will then determine which colors have faded out of the carpet and will then replace ONLY the missing colors in the exact percentages. Many do-it-yourselfers and/or inexperienced carpet cleaners will attempt to fix bleach spots with terrible results. This is usually due to the fact that they have not been properly trained in color theory. The technician must take into account any EXISTING color(s) that are still present in the bleach spots. For example, if there was a green carpet that had yellowish-looking bleach spots on it, it is highly likely that the bleach spots would only require the addition of blue (yellow + blue = green) to restore them. If one were to apply a green dye to the spots, they would likely turn out looking the wrong shade of green (too yellowish) because the green dye that was applied also contained yellow which was not needed.\nCarpet dyeing professionals may be located by doing a web search or by looking in the Yellow Pages under the heading "Carpet & Rug Dyers"

It’s no news to foodies in the UK that Scandinavian food is seeing a huge rise in popularity. I’ve written a fair amount on Swedish food but I decided it was time to branch out.\nFinnish food. I knew nothing about it other than it’s supposed to be similar to Swedish food. And so my quest began to find Finnish food in London.\nAfter a cursory Internet search, I realised that this would be tricky. Finland only has a population of 5.4 million and there are only ~30,000 in the UK. Although most of them are in London, that still doesn’t leave that many Finns in the capital. As for Scandinavian food being trendy, Finnish food seems to be a little forgotten about.\nThere are three places that I could find: Scandinavian Kitchen, which offers a mix of many Scandinavian food, the Finnish Church and the Nordic Bakery, which has predominantly Finnish-style sandwiches and cakes.\nHaving previously paid a visit to the Scandinavian Kitchen in search of Swedish semlor, I decided to head to the Finnish church in Rotherhithe, which has a cafeteria.\nMy friend and I entered a canteen-style room where Finnish families were queuing up and helping themselves to potato-and-salmon stew and the traditional crispbreads with cheese. We joined the queue. And then we realised no-one was paying.\nI went to the lady in reception and asked.\nI immediately declined this overly kind offer. We were not here to steal food off Finnish Christians. That’s when she pointed to some pastries on the table the other side of the room. Help yourself, she said. You can pay later.\nFirst up, I sampled a type of pulla – a traditional cardamom bun. It was lightly flavoured with some kind of mildly sour butter or cheese on top, sweetened by sugar. It was quite an intriguing contrast and I could imagine happily snacking on these.\nNext, we tried a karelian pie. This is a rye crust with a savoury rice filling. I wasn’t quite sure what I made of it – it was quite one-dimensional in flavour and my friend and I thought it would be improved by the addition of some jam.\nBut then I sampled the Nordic Bakery karelian pie (£1.70) and I think it might be my new favourite snack.\nThis pie came topped with an egg butter and was lot more flavoursome. The firmness of the crust contrasted with the softness of the filling, and the whole pie was a delightful mix of textures. They also do a potato version, which I’ll be heading back to try!\nAfter polishing off the karelian pie, I got my hands on a Finnish cinnamon bun. The bread was almost crispy and quite chewy – the whole bun was very dense – but the cinnamon made every mouthful moreish.\nFinally, I tucked into another type of pulla – cardamom bread and sugar.\nNordic Bakery also has some flatbread open sandwiches but I didn’t try them because they looked a little pricey for their size and content.\nI’d love to try some Finnish food that isn’t just bread and pastries, so if anyone has any recommendations, please email me or leave a comment below.\nWhen: Weekdays 14-21, Saturdays 10-21 and Sundays 10-20.

You may or may not know that the Senior Bowl took place this Saturday in Mobile, Alabama. The Senior Bowl is an exhibition college football game for many prospects hoping to get drafted by an NFL team.\nPat White had a message for all those experts who think the West Virginia quarterback might make a better receiver in the NFL: Not so fast.\nBased on this map, I always thought that West Virginia was in the North.\nFrom the West Virginia in the Civil War website, West Virginia was created in the midst of the Civil War and provided the Union Army 31,872 regular army troops. It is also estimated that somewhere between 16,000 and 20,000 men served in the Confederate Army. Therefore, based on the number of people who served the Confederacy and the fact that much of West Virginia is south of the Mason-Dixon Line, historically, I guess you could make a case that West Virginia is in the south.\nI got a few points deducted during a job interview once when I was at breakfast with my future boss and commented on the fact that he was eating grits (he was from Boston). He told me he grew up eating grits because of his southern mother. I asked where she was from, he said, "West Virginia", and before I even thought, I laughed out loud and said, "That's not the SOUTH!" He took some umbrage to that.\nI got the job anyway.\nGilahi - That's a great thing to say during an interview! Morgantown, WV is north but I would guess that almost everywhere else in the state would consider themselves in the South. Of course, Virginia is probably the same way. Do folks in Fairfax, Arlington and Alexandria consider themselves as living in the South?\nJust as people up north tend to have lower opinions of southerners, people from the deep south tend to look down their noses at anything north of where they grew up. My brother in Atlanta is still convinced that I've moved to Yankeeland, despite the fact that I keep reminding him that Richmond was the capitol of the Confederacy. I know that technically I'm still in the south, but I'm about as far north as I ever want to be on a full-time basis.\nGrowing up in New Jersey, living in Alexandria is like living in the South for me... and in the opposite fashion of Gilahi, this is probably as far south as I want to be on a full-time basis.\nMy mom currently lives in TN. And while it's a great rural retreat for when I want quiet solitude, I could never imagine myself living there.

In modern society, it seems that almost any employable person can be a manager.

The Perfume Family "Fougere"(fern-like)is centered around the natural accord of Lavender, Tonka Bean and Oakmoss. This combination of woodsy, powderey, coumarinic, mossy notes was originally considered a masculine fragrance but over years since it first captured the imagination of perfume lovers(in 1882 Houbigant Fougère Royale captured the imagination of perfume loves) this unique bouquet has taken on numerous forms so that it is loved by men and women alike.\nMany subfamilies of Fougere now exist including woody, spicy, floral, ambery etc so the list of natural essential oils, absolutes and co2 extracts the woodsy, mossy, coumarinc(new mown hay) that can be used in creating special Fougeres is extensive. Some of the most popular essences for enchancing the Fougere bouquet are geranium eo and abs, vetiver eo and co2, clary sage eo and abs and patchouli eo, co2 and abs but a comprehensive list follows from which many variations of Fougere perfumes may be evolved. It is important to remember that there are many shared essences that can be used in such classic accords as form Fougere, Musk(Botanical), Amber(Botanical), Ambergris(botanical), Chypre, Oriental, etc but it is the choice and proportion of those essences combined with the specific accord that will bestow on the perfumers creation its unique charm.

Unless you’re planning to spend the holidays curled up under your bed, you’ve probably been participating in this year’s shopping season. Although dampened somewhat by the economic climate and job uncertainty, the five+ weeks from late November through the end of the calendar year represent more than $500 billion in sales — or approximately 40% of the entire year’s retail revenue in the U.S. — and even more for some kinds of businesses.\nTo take advantage of this surge in shopping interest, most companies traditionally add to or modify their product offerings at this time of year. The assumption is that buyers want as much choice as possible, individuals want customization, and different consumer segments want unique things. But what if these assumptions no longer hold?\nThe common thread across these views and others is that product proliferation triggers what Princeton philosopher Walter Kaufmann called “decidophobia” (the fear of making a decision). For some people, the complexity of choices becomes so overwhelming that they shut down.\nTo help customers reduce decision-anxiety, some firms are building their business models around fewer and simpler choices. For example, food retailer Trader Joe’s, one of the most profitable retailers in the U.S., carries 80% fewer items than most large grocery stores and still has a loyal following of customers. Other retailers are embracing simplicity, too: Office furniture maker Herman Miller has actively reduced the variations on its iconic Aeron chair. Clorox deploys cross-functional teams to continually prune its product portfolio, insuring that remaining products meet their volume targets. And Dell strictly limits the number of components in its computers as a way of controlling its customized assembly operations.\nThe narrowing of choices by these companies has not only made it easier for their customers but has also increased revenues and margins. With fewer products or services to promise, all of the associated supply chain, facility, and support processes can be slimmed down, saving considerable money and energy. Even automobile companies and airlines seem to have learned this lesson. General Motors’ process of shedding brands and narrowing down their product portfolio may have been painful, but this made it easier for buyers to understand the new GM and for the company to focus its resources on producing better cars. Similarly many airlines have cut routes and frequency of flights, giving them fuller planes and more efficient use of their assets (although not improving the customer experience, but that’s a topic for another post).\nAs the holiday shopping season nears its end, it might be timely for companies to not only tally their sales but also to reassess their product and service portfolios. If consumers indeed are looking for a simpler and more focused array of choices, then perhaps the first challenge for companies in 2011 is to resolve to do the same as many of their customers — go on a diet.\nWhat’s your view? As a consumer, do you want fewer (and better) choices? And is your company thinking along these lines?

Algorithm to estimate the most prominent pitch of a vector of Real values reprsenting the FFT of an audio frame using the Autocorrelation function.\nThis class represents an object to estimate the most prominent pitch of a vector of Real values reprsenting the FFT of an audio frame using the Autocorrelation function.\nThe algorithm performs an autocorrelation on the input spectrums and finds the first peak of a set of highest magnitude candidates. The index of the peak and the values of the peak will determine the pitch frequency and saliency.\nThe minimum peak width can be specified using setMinimumPeakWidth().\nThe number of candidates at the peak detection stage be specified using setPeakCandidateCount().\nConstructs an autocorrelation based pitch estimation function object with the specified fftSize, samplerate, minPeakWidth and peakCandidateCount settings.\nfftSize size of the input FFT frames, must be > 0.\nsamplerate the samplerate of the input signal. By default it is 1.0, so the pitches will be returned in normalized frequencies.\nminimumPeakWidth the minimum width of a peak in the autocorrelation function for it to be detected.\npeakCandidateCount the number of highest magnitude candidates to be considered during the peak detection process of the autocorrelation function.\nReferences setFftSize(), setMinimumPeakWidth(), setPeakCandidateCount(), and setSamplerate().\nPerforms a pitch estimation on each of the rows of spectrums. Puts the resulting estimated pitches in the rows of pitches and the saliencies of each pitch in the rows of saliencies.\nspectrums matrix of Real values representing one spectrum magnitude per row. The number of columns of spectrum must be equal to the fftSize / 2 + 1 where fftSize is specified using setFftSize().\npitches pointer to a matrix of Real values representing the frequencies of the estimated pitches as rows. The matrix should have the same number of rows as spectrums and as many columns as the count of estimated pitches. Note that this algorithm is only capable of detecting a single pitch at each frame, therefore pitches will be a single column matrix.\nsaliencies pointer to a matrix of Real values representing the saliencies of the estimated pitches as rows. The matrix should have the same number of rows as spectrums and as many columns as the count of estimated pitches. Note that this algorithm is only capable of detecting a single pitch at each frame, therefore pitches will be a single column matrix.\nNote that if the output matrices are not of the required sizes they will be resized, reallocating a new memory space if necessary.\nReferences PeakInterpolation::process(), PeakDetection::process(), and Autocorrelation::process().\nReturns the size of the FFT that has been performed for the input. The default is 1024.\nSpecifies the size of the FFT that has been performed for the input. The given size must be higher than 0.\nReturns the minimum width for a peak to be detected in the autocorrelation function. The default is 6.\nSpecifies the minimum width for a peak to be detected in the autocorrelation function.\nReturns the number of highest magnitude candidates to be considered during the peak detection process of the autocorrelation function.\nNote that if the value is <= 0, then no preselection is performed and all detected peaks are considered as candidates.\nBy default it is 6.\nSpecifies the number of highest magnitude candidates to be considered during the peak detection process of the autocorrelation function.\nReturn the samplerate frequency of the input signal. The default is 44100.0.\nSpecifies the samplerate frequency of the input signal.

Starting from this Module, you have to be careful for the source codes thatspan more than one line. When you copy and paste to the text or compiler editor, make it in one line! This Module is a transition from C to C++ and Topics of C++ such asFunctions,Arrays,Pointers andStructure that have been discussed in C Tutorial, will not be repeated. They are reusable! This Module and that follows can be a very good fundamental for Object Oriented programming though it is an old story:o). The source code is available inC++ Encapsulation source code.\nTo understand the basic principle of encapsulation.\nTo understand the principle of data hiding.\nTo understand and use class, object, object instance and message.\nTo understand and use keywordpublic and private.\nTo understand and use constructor and destructor.\nTo understand and use inline function.\nTo understand and use object packaging.\nThis Module is the beginning of the definition of objects oriented programming of C++. Basically, encapsulation is the process of forming objects. It is container, which can only be accessed through certain entry points in controlled manner.\nAn encapsulated object is often called an abstract data type (ADT). Without encapsulation, which involves the use of one or more classes, it is difficult to define the object oriented programming.\nWe need encapsulation because we are human, and humans make errors. When we properly encapsulate some code, we actually build protection for the contained code from accidental corruption due to the errors that we are all prone to make.\nWe also tend to isolate errors to small portions of code to make them easier to find and fix. Furthermore, programming becomes more efficient, productive and faster program development cycle by dividing and creating smaller modules or program portions, then combine in a systematic processes.\nYou will find a lot of readily available classes in Java, Visual Basic®, Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) of Visual C++ and other visual programming languages.\nIn visual programming languages, you have to learn how to use the classes, which files to be included in your program etc. For non technical programmer, it is much easier to learn programming by using visual programming languages isn’t it? You decide!\nAs the beginning please refer to program start.cpp. This program will be the starting point for our discussion of encapsulation.\nIn this program, a very simple structure is defined in lines 5 through 8 which contain a single int type variable within the structure.\nThree variables are declared in line 12, each of which contains a single int type variable and each of the three variables are available for use anywhere within the main() function.\nEach variable can be assigned, incremented, read, modified, or have any number of operations performed on it and a few of the operations are illustrated in lines 15 through 17. Notice the use of the dot operator to access the structure element.\nAn isolated normal local variable named garfield is also declared and used in the same section of code for comparison of the normal variable.\nStudy this program example carefully, then compile and run.\nNext, please refer to example program class.cpp. This program is identical to the last one except for a few program portions.\nThe first difference is that we have a class instead of a structure beginning in line 7.\nThe only difference between a class and a structure is that a class begins with a private section by default whereas a structure begins with apublic section. The keywordclass is used to declare a class as illustrated.\nThe class named item is composed of the single variable named keep_data and two functions, set() andget_value().\nA more complete definition of a class is: a group of variables (data), and one or more functions that can operate on that data.\nIn programming language terms, attributes, behaviors or properties of the object used for the member variables.\nAll data at the beginning of a class defaults to private and the private keyword is optional. This means, the data at the beginning of the class cannot be accessed from outside of the class; it is hidden from any outside access.\nIt is as if we have built a wall around the variables to protect them from accidental corruption by outside programming influences.\nThe concept is graphically shown in figure 12.1, item class with its wall built around the data to protect it.\nYou will notice the small peep holes (through the arrow) we have opened up to allow the user to gain access to the functions set() and get_value(). The peep holes were opened by declaring the functions in the public section of the class.\nBecause the two functions are declared following the keyword public, they are both public and available for use by any calling program that is within the scope of this object.\nThis essentially opens two small peepholes in the solid wall of protection that we built around the class and the privatekeep_data variable is not available to the calling program.\nThus, we can only use the variable by calling one of the two functions defined within the public part of the class. These are called member functions because they are members of the class.\nThese two function definitions are called the implementation of the functions. The class name is required because we can use the same function name in other classes and the compiler will know with which class to associate each function implementation.\nNotice that, the private data contained within the class is available within the implementation of the member functions of the class for modification or reading in the normal manner.\nYou can do anything with the private data within the function implementations which are a part of that class; also the private data of other classes is hidden and not available within the member functions of this class.\nThis is the reason we must prepend the class name to thefunction names of this class when defining them. Figure 12.2 depicts the data space following the program execution.\nIt is legal to declare variables and functions in the private part, and additional variables and functions in the public part also.\nIn most practical situations, variables only declared in the private section and functions only declared in the public part of a class definition. Occasionally, variables or functions are declared in the other part. This sometimes leads to a very practical solution to a particular problem, but in general, the entities are used only in the places mentioned for consistency and good programming style.\nA variable with class scope is available anywhere within the scope of a class, including the implementation code, and nowhere else. Hence, the variable namedkeep_data has a class scope.\nThe following is a list of terminologies that you need to understand their meaning in object oriented programming for this tutorial discussion.\nIs a group of data and methods (functions). A class is very much like a structure type as used in ANSI-C, it is just a type used to create a variable which can be manipulated through method in a program.\nIs an instance of a class, which is similar to a variable, defined as an instance of a type. An object is what you actually use in a program since it contains values and can be changed.\nIs a function contained within the class. You will find the functions used within a class often referred to as methods in programming literature.\nIs similar to function call. In object oriented programming, we send messages instead of calling functions. For the time being, you can think of them as identical. Later you will see that they are in fact slightly different. In programming terms, event or action of the object normally used to describe a consequence of sending message.\nTable 12.1: Some terms definition.\nWe have defined that, objects have attributes and by sending message, the object can do something, that is action or something can be done, so there will be an event.\nNow for program named class.cpp, we can say that we have a class, composed of one variable and two methods. The methods operate on the variable contained in the class when they receive messages to do so.\nYou will notice line 11 which says that the method named set() requires one parameter of type int and returns nothing, hence the return type is void. The method named get_value() however, according to line 12 has no input parameters but returns an int type value to the caller.\n12.3.4 Sending A Message Or Function Call?\nAfter the definition in lines 2 through 24, we finally come to the program where we actually use the class. In line 29 we instantiate three objects of class item and name the objects John_cat,Joe_cat and Big_cat.\nEach object contains a single data point which we can set through the use of the methodset() or read through the use of the get_value() method, but we cannot directly set or read the value of the data point because it is hidden within the block wall around the class as if it is in a container.\nRemember that the object named John_cat has a method associated with it called set() that sets its internal value to the actual parameter included within the message.\nYou will notice that the form is very much like the means of accessing the elements of a structure. You mention the name of the object with a dot connecting it to the name of the method.\nThis means, perform operation set(), with argument 10 on the instance of the object John_cat.\nIn a similar manner, we send a message to each of the other two objects,Joe_cat and Big_cat, to set their values to those indicated.\nLines 37 and 39 have been commented out because the operations are illegal. The variable named keep_data is private by default and therefore not available to the code outside of the object itself.\nAlso, the data contained within the object named John_cat is not available within the methods of Joe_cat or Big_cat because they are different objects.\nThere is another variable named garfield declared and used throughout this example program that illustrates, a normal variable can be intermixed with the objects and used in the normal manner.\nCompile and run this program. Try removing the comments from lines 37 and 38, and then see what kind of error messages your compiler issues.\nExamine the program named robject.cpp carefully, a program with a few serious problems that will be overcome in the next program example by using the principles of encapsulation.\nWe have two structures declared, one being a rectangle and the other is a pole. The depth of the lamp pole is the depth it is buried in the ground, the overall length of the pole is therefore the sum of the height and depth.\nFigure 12.3 try to describe the data space after the program execution. It may be a bit confused at the meaning of the result found in line 50 where we multiply the height of the square withwidth of the wall, because the data can be access publicly.\nAnother one, although it is legal, the result has no meaning because the product of the height of the square and the depth of the lamp_pole has absolutely no meaning in any physical system we can think up in reality because they don’t have relation and the result is useless.\nThe error is obvious in a program as simple as this, but in a large program production it is very easy for such problems to be inadvertently introduced into the code by a team of programmers and the errors can be very difficult to find.\nIf we have a program that defined all of the things we can do with a square’s data and another program that defined everything we could do withlamp_pole’s data, and if the data could be kept mutually exclusive, we could prevent these silly things from happening.\nIf these entities must interact, they cannot be put into separate programs, but they can be put into separate classes to achieve the desired goal. Compile and run the program.\nWhat C++ has done to this world? (http://www.stroustrup.com/applications.html) - Bjarne Stroustrup (http://www.stroustrup.com/).
Is it possible to add a game changing feature to a camera long after the camera was released? The Canon C300 Mark II was announced in April, 2015 and went on sale the following fall. It has stayed true to its form since then. Firmware updates have brought it the option of moving the camera’s waveform left or right, as well as bypassing the internal noise reduction, but other updates have been limited to adding lens compatibility or control.\nIn the meantime, Canon released the Canon C200, a lower price point camera which has its own advantages and disadvantages relative to the C300 Mark II. One of its big advantages is its touchscreen. A lightweight 4″ screen that is powered by the camera and which adds a level of ease and finesse to Canon’s stellar Dual-Pixel Auto Focus (DPAF) system. DPAF allows you to lock a focus point, track an object within the frame, or to recognize and track a face. With the C200’s touchscreen you just touch the screen to select or move a focus point. It couldn’t be easier or quicker.\nCanon C300 Mark II with its as-shipped clamshell style audio/video unit sitting atop a Wooden Camera NATO Plus Handle.\nIf you are not familiar with the C300 Mark II specs, it ships with an integrated audio/video unit that most folks call the clamshell. It requires two cables, one each for audio and video, has a 4″ screen and two XLR ports along with audio control settings. The screen can flip up, rotate, flip down, and the clamshell’s control panel can rotate as well.\nThe C300 Mark II, like the C200, has Dual-Pixel Auto Focus but it’s an earlier version with no touchscreen. It relies on the operator using one of the camera’s joystick nubs; one each on the body, monitor, and grip; to select and or move a focus point. It works but it’s inelegant.\nIf you need to select a point while filming, it can take a moment too long to do it. You can often overshoot the area you want to hit, and you risk jostling the camera as you use the joystick. If you are face-tracking and more than one face is within the frame, having to use the joystick adds to the time it takes to select the face you want to track.\nEnter the C200’s touchscreen, the LM-V1. This past fall Canon announced a firmware update for the C300 Mark II, firmware version 1.1.0.1.00, which lets it use the LM-V1 touchscreen to select and control focus points just like on the C200.\nThe firmware update is free but you’ll need to buy the LM-V1, $649.00, and supply a way to rig it to the camera. The LM-V1, unlike a third-party monitor, does not need a battery, it draws power and video through either of the two cables which came with the C300 Mark II’s clamshell.\nThe Canon LM-V1 touchscreen on a C300 Mark II.\nI’ll get to the rigging in a bit but most importantly – how well does adding the LM-V1 to the C300 Mark II work? In a word, it’s great!\nIf you are a DPAF user on the C300 Mark II, the LM-V1 adds an unparalleled ease of use. No more futzing with the joystick. Lightly touch the focus point you want and it is done. Similarly, if you want to rack focus to another point within the frame, to set a point for focus tracking or to choose between faces when face-tracking, just touch the screen.\nThe LM-V1’s display is also a bit better color corrected than the C300 Mark II’s clamshell. All in all, I have felt less of a need to use my SmallHD 502 as an external monitor with the C300 Mark II when using the LM-V1.\nCanon C200 Monitor on the C300 Mark II \| Touchscreen Auto Focus on Vimeo and on YouTube.\nThe LM-V1 is not a high-bright monitor. It does work outside but I’d recommend a hood for it. Hoodman makes a nice hood which fits the screen but leaves the LM-V1’s buttons accessible.\nHoodman HD Hood on a Canon LM-V1 screen and a C300 Mark II outdoors on a sunny day.\nCanon LM-V1 screen with a Hoodman HD Hood for the Canon C300. It shades the screen area while leaving the buttons accessible. You will have to reach into the hood to change the focus point.\nThe LM-V1 has five buttons and a small joystick selector. Two of the buttons are user assignable. One button, not visible in the photo, is a Mirror Button to switch the image orientation should the monitor be mounted upside down. These are less controls than are found on the C300 Mark II’s clamshell. The clamshell has six buttons plus video review controls, a record start/stop button, a mirror button, and a joystick selector. Four of its buttons are user assignable.\nIn practice, going from the clamshell design to the LM-V1’s more limited button array has not been an issue for me. The clamshell’s buttons and controls replicate what is already on the camera body. The LM-V1’s are similar. One customization I did do on the LM-V1 was to change the #1 “Function” button to a Waveform button for quick access to the waveform.\nAs a C300 Mark II user, if you opt for the LM-V1, you are faced with an audio decision. The LM-V1 is a screen only. It doesn’t have the XLR ports or audio controls of the clamshell. If you use only the LM-V1 on the C300 Mark II, you are restricted to camera’s 3.5mm audio jack. You could run the LM-V1 along side the clamshell to get your XLR inputs and controls back, but you are adding a lot of weight.\nLuckily, a third option is available. Canon has an audio only microphone adapter, the MA-400 ($425 at AbelCine.) Like the clamshell, it has two XLR inputs with levels controls and input settings (Auto, Manual, Line In, Phantom Power).\nThis latter solution has become my preferred method of working. I don’t want the extra weight of the clamshell if I am not using its screen, and I like having some flexibility when it comes to the placement of the MA-400. The MA-400, like the LM-V1, uses either of the two cables which came with the C300 Mark II’s clamshell.\nThe Canon MA-400 Microphone Adapter rides out front over the lens with a shotgun mic attached. It is mounted to a cold shoe on a Wooden Camera C300 Mark II top plate.\nAnd that brings us to rigging the camera… One advantage of the C200, which any Canon user can surely appreciate, is that Canon finally integrated the audio XLR ports and controls into the camera body. So, the C200 only needs one cable running to the LM-V1. Simple!\nThe C200 also comes with a handle that has an adjustable holder for the LM-V1. But adding the LM-V1 and the MA-400 to the C300 Mark II is a different story, since it requires attaching the two accessories to the camera. The LM-V1 has two ¼-20 mounting points and MA-400 has two cold-shoe feet and a ¼-20.\nAt a minimum, to attach these to the C300 Mark II you’ll need a small arm for the LM-V1 and a cold-shoe for the MA-400. Two ¼-20’s and a cold-shoe are built into the C300 Mark II body and they can be used. Similarly, if you use Canon’s C300 Mark II handle it has multiple mounting points for both.\nAnother option still is to get the Canon C200 Handle and its LM-V1 holder. The handle will mount on the C300 Mark II top plate, which Canon shipped with the camera, and that setup foregoes the need for an additional arm to mount the LM-V1.\nI am a big fan of Wooden Camera gear and I prefer to have quick release access to my camera’s handle and any attachments. Canon’s handles, while much better in stability than in previous iterations, are not quick to attach or remove. So, I always rig my C300 Mark II with a Wooden Camera top plate and handle.\nThe handle attaches via a NATO rail and both it and the top plate are cheesy, offering many ¼-20 and ⅜” mounting holes. With that as a base, I have rigged the LM-V1 to a very small Wooden Camera Ultra Arm which can connect to the top plate or the handle.\nThe MA-400 can mount via cold-shoes to either as well. With the MA-400, this gives me options which make it easier to access the audio controls regardless of how the camera is situated. This was often a problem with the C300 Mark II’s clamshell: its audio controls could end up out of sight or hard to reach.\nThe Canon LM-V1 and the MA-400 attached to a Canon C300 Mark II via a Wooden Camera Ultra Arm, top plate, and cold shoe.\nThe Canon LM-V1 and the MA-400 attached to a Canon C300 Mark II via a Wooden Camera NATO Handle Plus.\nThe Canon LM-V1 and the MA-400 attached to a Canon C300 Mark II via a Wooden Camera NATO Handle Plus. The MA-400 faces back toward the camera operator for easy access to its controls.\nThe Canon LM-V1 and the MA-400 attached to a Canon C300 Mark II via a Wooden Camera Ultra Arm, top plate, and cold shoe. The MA-400 rides in front over the the lens.\nOne addition I have made to the setups above was to add small NATO rails and clamps to the LM-V1 and the Ultra Arm. As seen in the header photo and the photo below, it makes the LM-V1 and the Ultra Arm quick release components, which results in faster setup/breakdown times and in more reliable mounting solutions.\nAdding NATO compatible clamps and rails makes the LM-V1 and a third-party arm quick release attachments. These accessories are from Wooden Camera but many companies make NATO products.\nThe weight of the LM-V1 and MA-400 combined is pretty close to that of the C300 Mark II’s clamshell. What I like, though, about using the new screen and audio unit instead of the clamshell is that it allows me to divide and conquer. I can keep each component where I want it, spreading the weight around and maximizing access. I can also, in most setups, keep the camera’s center of gravity lower. I don’t have to have both audio and video up high on the handle. I can have one or both lower down, running off of the top plate.\nMy preferred setup has been to favor the top plate mounts, putting the LM-V1 to camera left via the Ultra Arm, and the MA-400 forward over top of the lens. In essence lengthening the camera body a bit.\nThe Canon C300 Mark II in my preferred setup. The LM-V1 is off to the camera’s left side, the MA-400 rides in front.\nI like this setup so much that I have yet to use the clamshell since getting the LM-V1 and the MA-400. I’m sure a C300 Mark III is not too far away but I think that Canon should consider selling the C300 Mark II with the LM-V1 and the MA-400 as a kit, foregoing the clamshell audio/video unit completely.\nIf you want to fly the LM-V1 further away from the C300 Mark II body you’ll need to get a longer cable, the Canon UN-10 is 100 cm (39″) long and is twice the length of the cables which shipped with the C300 Mark II’s clamshell.\nFirmware Version 1.1.0.1.00 has been replaced with version 1.1.1.1.00. This newest firmware, released 04/08/18, adds a sensitivity adjustment for the LM-V1 Monitor’s touchscreen among other features.\nThis article is also available at geardads.com.

Even though boneless Buffalo wings are made with healthy white-meat chicken, they're usually deep-fried and drenched in hot sauce laced with butter. The solution: chicken tenders are dredged in seasoned whole-wheat flour and cornmeal, pan-fried in only a small amount of oil and then drizzled with a tangy hot pepper sauce. With a fraction of the fat, calories and sodium, these boneless wings are reason enough to throw a party.\nTo prepare dip: Whisk sour cream, blue cheese, 1 tablespoon vinegar and ¼ teaspoon cayenne in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.\nRemove the chicken from the marinade and roll in the flour mixture until evenly coated. (Discard remaining marinade and flour mixture.) Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with ½ teaspoon cayenne.\nMake Ahead Tip: The chicken can marinate (Step 1) for up to 1 hour.\nNo buttermilk? You can use buttermilk powder prepared according to package directions. Or make “sour milk”: mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup milk.\nPerhaps I didn't use the right type of skillet, or it wasn't enough oil because the breading did not cook evenly and fell apart easily. The flavor was great though!\nMake 'em Easier, Healthier Try using REAL wings, marinate in Frank's hot sauce for an hour, bake on a broiling pan at 325 for an hour, or until they are fall-off-the bone done. That's it. Use your favorite ranch or blue cheese bottled dressing. Breaded and fried is fine, but these are healthier, easier, and not so messy. Pros: These are good, but too much prep IMO.\nSo Much Better than Greasy Wings I made these for superbowl and they were fantastic. I used one pound of chicken tenders (there were only two of us) but made the breading for 2 pounds. I let them rest for about 10 minutes after I breaded them, then put fried them up. I used a little more oil than the recipe called for. I had never tried Frank's Red Hot Sauce until now, and I am now saying goodbye to my Tabasco.\nThese were a tasty alternative to buffalo wings... but I think in the future I'd drizzle more sauce over them... that's usually my favorite part. I also had trouble with the breading sticking to the chicken and would cut back on flour in favor of my cornmeal the next time I make them as I know this works fine from other recipes I've made. They were a hit for Monday Night Football...even with the breading falling off!\nI followed the recipe without reading comments. What would work better though is to use cornbread mix instead of the flour and cornmeal then add cayenne to the mix instead of the wet ingredients. Then bake for 35-45 min. or until the juices run clear.

After the work on this CD had to be put on hold for the production of the critically acclaimed "Frameshift", featuring Dream Theater's James LaBrie, Henning Pauly has finished the follow up album. This time around he could gather some amazing musicians to help him make this CD a more impressive progressive metal experience. Among the musicians are Michael Sadler, lead singer from SAGA, and Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Mullmuzzler, Beer for Dolphins, etc.) who lends his voice and guitar skills to the last track on the album. Sadler is singing on an already highly praised cover version of Saga's own "Hot to Cold" together with Chain's lead singer Matt Cash and Maya Haddi, who will also be singing together with Sadler on the upcoming double CD rock opera "Babysteps", which will be released in late 2004.\nThe Limited Edition includes a nearly 4 hour DVD which can also be purchased separately here.

Hey everyone! New to eurorack modular synth so I am looking for some advice! This is the setup I have right now to learn some of the basics without having had to spend too much money on it!\nIn looking towards making some sequenced ambient music, what does it look like I am missing? Is there an essential module that you think I should get? Additionally, I have a Juno 60 and a Korg ms20 mini. In looking to connect this system with those synths, what should I get. Is there a cv hub/clock that could help with that?\nFirst up, the sequencer. If you're trying to do heavily-sequenced pattern-based stuff (Berlin school-ish), that little 8-stepper won't cut it. You need something that you can directly work with while it's in action, like how Chris Franke would literally play his banks of Moog 960s. I'd suggest something that internally quantizes, also. My inclination would be toward The Harvestman's Stillson Hammer mk II, but with that 8-step and some other trigger sequencing to increase the possible complexity by crosspatching them with the SHmkII. This wouldn't bring the MS20 into the mix, though.\nAnother possibility would be to go outboard, which is what I do with a pair of Arturia Beatstep Pros and a Keystep at present. This would then open your system up to some external control. The most extreme thing of this sort that comes to mind immediately would be the Koma Komplex. It's worth noting that the BSPs as well as the Komplex can be programmed to deal with the Korg's Hz/V scaling and inverse triggering...the BSPs require this be done in their PC software utility, while the Koma can be changed directly. Plus, if you use a Keystep or any other USB controller, Expert Sleepers' FH-2 can function in MIDI Host mode over USB, so those can be plugged directly into the modular there.\nAs for the Juno...that's more problematic. I assume you know that this requires either one of Roland's DCB-MIDI adapters or the JSQ-60 sequencer to link it in for pitches. However, you can send a clock pulse to the external trigger input to sync the arpeggiator, which would be a much simpler fix than hunting down esoteric Roland accessories and allow you to 'play' the arpeggiator as another sequencer channel.\nAs far as clocking goes, any modular trigger pulse will work on everything BUT the MS20. In that case, you need something like The Harvestman's English Tear, which is a bidirectional converter for Euro MS-20 signals. With that, though, you can then run the MS-20 alongside anything in the modular and it'll respond properly to Eurorack CV/gate/trig signals.\nThank you for your input. I agree a better sequencer would be a good idea. I love the idea of getting the SMmkii. I had no idea the ms-20 did not communicate well with eurorack. Getting the English Tear would be an easy fix for that to help trigger it. And with the Juno, if I could just sync the arpeggiator I would be happy, no need to trigger it right now. Could the SMmkii act as the central clock? I would love to get something with an actual digital bpm display to help with accurate tempo!\nThe Stillson Hammer mkII can definitely function effectively as a master clock. It even has a direct clock out with no division/multiplication as a normalized patchpoint. Given that, you could easily run a trigger sequencer such as a Four Bricks Rook, Circadian Rhythms, Knit Rider, etc from that to provide various rhythm patterns in sync to pass on to the MS-20, Juno, etc, plus most any sort of clock modulation module will work nicely for clock maths.\nAn outboard Korg SQ-1 might be just the thing for keeping the MS-20 in check with the rest of your system.\nSEEK or the Varigate 4+ are other nice sequencers to check out besides SHmkII. Also have you thought about any FX in eurorack or a mixer? Also why not get another VCO, noise source and a WAV player like TipTop One or Pico Drums to get some different flavor in there for small HP.\nSo I think for the price, I am going to grab a beatstep pro. Itll help me with having extra sequencing power without taking up room or costing too much.\nThe Korg SQ-1 does seem nice for the MS-2o, I might want that in addition to the beatstep! That would give me two 16 step sequencers (BSP) 1 8 step (Lifeforms) and then two more 8 steps from the Sq-1. Do you all think that is a good enough amount of sequencers and would they all play well together?\nFX are on my list down the road. What are some top ones for more ambient and sequenced music? Obviously a good reverb and delay, but what else would you suggest?\nActually, that sequencer complement isn't all that different from what I presently have (2 x BSP, SQ-1 [for my own MS-20], Keystep) in addition to the various incorporated ones in other synths. And yes, they all play very nicely with each other. My plan for later this year is to cap this off with a Koma Komplex and use that as a 'hub' for all of the other hardware sequencers + direct interfacing with my modular. This'll then free up a BSP to use as a drum sequencer for an ancient MXR Drum Computer which has a blown sequencer but which recently received a trigger-in 'fan' for this exact purpose.\nVCOs aren't the whole problem with how VCOs sound, btw. Very pure VCOs tend to sound rather meh, so by putting some things inline with them that introduce some nonlinearities, you can beef their sound. Also, just one VCO is probably two fewer than you need, because you want some slight detunings and waveform nonsynchrony to get a more interesting sound. The whole key to the Minimoog sound is, in fact, these two things; not only do the VCOs have a tendency to drift slightly even when warmed up, the Minimoog also contains the guts of the CP3 mixer for mixing these...and the CP3 isn't a very clean mixer, but it's not clean in a musical sort of way, if that makes sense. Feed that on to the classic LPF on there, and that's "that sound".\nAs for effects...unless you want something non-replicated in outboard (such as Intellijel's Rainmaker), my suggestion would be to grab some cheap outboard devices and a 1/4" patchbay for them, then have fun routing all sorts of processing cascades, insert loops, etc.\nThat is great advice Lugia! Thank you! I think at least one more VCO is a good idea!\nI have plenty of outboard gear (and plugins) so I have plenty of post processing capabilities!\nOne thing I am looking at is being able to send the same signal to multiple locations. So having the pitch control from the sequencer affect the Ring module and the VCO. Is the A-180-3 a good choice for that?\nAny basic mult should work. You're not sending the CV to a bunch of different locations, so there's no worry of a voltage sag and no need for a buffered mult. I'd suggest using some inline mults; save your cab's room for actual functionality.\nAlright, Update. I got the Beatstep Pro and the Make Noise Mult Passive Multiple Eurorack Module. Pretty excited about seeing how these two expand my current setup.

The spiritual successor to Sony Ericsson’s pint-sized X10 Mini is the Xperia X8, an Android-powered touchscreen phone of similar dimensions. But do good things really come in small packages? Read on to find out.\nThe Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is about the same size as the X10 Mini, if a little bit bigger round the edges. It’s light, pocket friendly and despite it’s dimensions it’s not so small that the screen size (3-inches) suffers.\nAgain like the X10 Mini, you can customise the layout of the X8 by adding four shortcuts to the corners of the screen, giving you quick access to the phone book, messages, camera, Facebook, or whatever you want. As well as this, you can assign a single widget (such as Google Search) to each homescreen, of which there are three. You can add more if you wish (we had 12 running on ours) but obviously the more things you have running the slower things become.\nThough you get access to the Android Market and the many many apps it holds, on the X8 there’s a handful of apps and games that come pre-installed which are actually pretty useful.\nBackup and Restore allows you to easily save your numbers to the phone’s SD card, or import numbers from an old memory card. This is really useful if you’re upgrading from an older phone which doesn’t have any kind of contact saving app, as it saves you from having to manually enter all of those numbers yourself.\nThe Creatouch art app allows you to make fun psychedelic wallpapers which you can easily be set as the X8’s wallpaper (see above). There’s also Sony Ericsson’s Track ID app, which like Shazam, allows you to identify songs by holding the X8 up to a speaker.\nMoving music to the Xperia X8 is straightforwards enough; plug the phone into your computer and select mass storage mode, or simply load some tunes onto a microSD card and put it in that way.\nThe supplied headphones are pretty good, which is surprising considering the X8 isn’t being sold as a music phone and that the headphones which come bundled with most mobiles generally aren’t that great. These however are comfortable, aren’t terribly leaky and music played through them sounds pretty good. The remote control on the wire features a pause button as well. Should you already have a pair of headphones that you’re attached to, you can use your own thanks to the 3.5mm jack.\nThe Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 isn’t a particularly sturdy feeling phone. It’s rather light in the palm and the battery cover feels as though it could scratch easily.\nOn occasion we had to tap the touchscreen a few of times to get it to confirm certain actions; sadly it’s of the resistive variety. It’s nowhere near as easy to use as the X10 Mini which has a capacitive touchscreen.\nAs a result of web browsing, though nippy thanks to the 3G and Wi-Fi, can feel a bit awkward. Having to use on-screen zoom controls which don’t always respond as you’d want them to and repeatedly clicking on links can be annoying. The same applies when scrolling through Facebook news feeds too.\nThe simple 3.2-megapixel camera isn’t terrible, but the stiff shutter button on the side combined with the unresponsive on-screen control means that you end up taking some blurry shots. There’s no flash either, meaning no night shots or picture taking in dimly lit places.\nYou don’t much in the way of camera settings, only some very basic lighting options. Of course you could always download Android apps like fxcamera and RetroCamera but it’s nice to have some fun effects built in too.\nAgain, like the X10 Mini the Xperia X8 runs on Android 1.6. While this is fine for a mid-range budget phone the fact that Android 2.3 is supposed to be with us in a matter of weeks makes the X8 feel a little old hat.\nThe Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is bite-sized Android phone that, like the X10 Mini is a cute little pocket-friendly phone. Ideal if you’ve not used an Android phone before as it comes with some helpful apps pre-installed and it features a pretty straightforward layout. The resistive touchscreen can make things difficult however and if you’re after a more powerful Android phone that offers a greater degree of customisation we suggest that you check out the normal-sized Xperia X10.

(the “Company” or “Surface”) is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focused on using its specialized knowledge of the biological pathways critical to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment for the development of next-generation cancer therapies. Surface was incorporated in April 2014 under the laws of the State of Delaware.\nThe Company is subject to risks common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, compliance with government regulations and the ability to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.\nOn April 6, 2018, the Company effected a one-for-2.2 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and a proportional adjustment to the existing conversion ratios for each series of the Company’s Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 6). Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect this reverse stock split and adjustment of the preferred stock conversion ratios.\nOn April 23, 2018, the Company completed its initial public offering of its common stock by issuing 7,200,000 shares of common stock, at $15.00 per share for gross proceeds of $108,000, or net proceeds of $97,209 after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. Concurrent with the initial public offering, the Company issued Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research, Inc. (Novartis) 766,666 shares of its common stock at $15.00 per share for proceeds of $11,500, in a private placement.\nUpon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering on April 23, 2018, all shares of Series A and A-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock” and “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”, respectively) automatically converted into 16,863,624 shares of common stock.\nThe Company’s financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. The Company has primarily funded its operations with proceeds from the sales of redeemable convertible preferred stock, proceeds from a collaboration agreement with Novartis and proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering of common stock. The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $62,071.\nThe Company expects that its operating losses and negative cash flows will continue for the foreseeable future. As of November 13, 2018, the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The future viability of the Company beyond that date is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to finance its operations.\nThe Company will seek additional funding through public offerings, debt financings, collaboration agreements, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, and the Company may not be able to enter into collaborations or other arrangements. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, the Company could be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects.\nAlthough management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company to fund continuing operations, if at all.\nThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Surface Securities Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions.\nThe accounting policies followed in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent in all material respects with those presented in Note 1 to the financial statements included in the Company’s final prospectus for its initial public offering of its common stock filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) of the Securities Act on April 18, 2018, which the Company refers to as the Prospectus, except for the Company’s adoption of the new standards as discussed below.\nThe preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the accrual of research and development expenses and the valuation of common stock and stock-based awards. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates.\nThe accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the condensed consolidated statement of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2018 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are also unaudited. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018, any other interim periods, or any future year period.\nIn May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (or FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to receive for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of the new standard from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies how a company identifies promised goods or services and clarifies whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients related to disclosures of remaining performance obligations, as well as other amendments to guidance on collectability, non-cash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes collected from customers. In December 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amends certain narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2014-09 including guidance related to the disclosure of remaining performance obligations and prior-period performance obligations, as well as other amendments to the guidance on loan guarantee fees, contract costs, refund liabilities, advertising costs and the clarification of certain examples. ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 have the same effective dates and transition requirements as ASU 2014-09, all of which collectively are herein referred to as Revenue ASUs.\nDuring the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which addresses diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.\nIn November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). The amendments in this update require that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included within cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 was effective January 1, 2018. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-18, the Company includes its restricted cash balance in the cash and cash equivalents reconciliation of operating, investing and financing activities. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash within the balance sheet that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows.\nIn February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 will require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Leases will be classified as either operating or finance, and classification will be based on criteria similar to current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” (“ASU 2018-10”), which provides narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard, and ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements” (ASU 2018-11), which addresses implementation issues related to the new lease standard. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company anticipates material adjustments to its consolidated balance sheet for the recognition of a lease liability and a right of use asset for its operating leases, which primarily represents the lease of its corporate headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts.\nIn July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, Derivatives and Hedging (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception (“ASU 2017-11”). This guidance is intended to reduce the complexity associated with accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Specifically, a down round feature would no longer cause a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or an embedded conversion option) to be considered “not indexed to an entity’s own stock” and therefore accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current earnings. Down round features are most often found in warrants and conversion options embedded in debt or preferred equity instruments. In addition, the guidance re-characterized the indefinite deferral of certain provisions on distinguishing liabilities from equity to a scope exception with no accounting effect. This guidance becomes effective January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-11 will have on its consolidated financial statements.\nIn June, 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). The new standard simplifies the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The new standard will be effective beginning January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2018-07 will have on its results of operations.\nOther accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.\nThe Company determined that there was no material change in the credit risk of these investments. As a result, the Company determined it did not hold any investments with an other-than-temporary decline in fair value as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Can you imagine what it feels like to be spoken to that way? Regardless of the intent, this kind of language (especially when accompanied by expressions of disgust, disdain or disrespect), feels like an attack.\nI hope you’re not a leader who reprimands your people for poor performance like that. But chances are, you’ve done it at one time or another.\nLearning to approach, not attack, is the first step of the A-C-C Model of Accountability.\nBecause these so-called confrontations often do feel like attacks. Remember, as the CEO, senior executive or managing partner, you’re in a position of power. In a very real sense, you have your people’s futures in your hands.\nYour team members are vulnerable to your moods, your decisions, and your whims. Your whispers can sound like shouts to them. So when you “just confront,” they may receive it like a blow to the head or a punch in the stomach.\nLike everyone else, leaders sometimes feel afraid. They worry, for example, about what will happen if a project isn’t completed on time. Then that fear turns into an attack.\nBut most of the time, leaders aren’t thinking at all. They’re just reacting. Or they lack the skills to solve the problem. Or they just don’t know a better way. Maybe they grew up in a home where confrontation was the norm. Maybe they learned from a manager who always confronted or attacked them.\nAttacking tends to shut down creativity. Who can think when they’re being attacked? Who dares submit an idea when it might be mocked or rejected out of hand?\nWhen you attack someone, you deprive them of the opportunity to grow and contribute in ways you might not realize are possible. Not only that, but as a leader you deprive yourself of the opportunity to learn from the people on your team. If you always assume you have the answer, you will fail to benefit from the input others might provide.\nMaybe attacking worked as a leadership strategy years ago, when workers had fewer options and felt compelled to stay with one company for their entire career. But nowadays, if people don’t like the way you’re treating them, they’ll leave.\nFortunately, neither attacking nor confronting is necessary for workplace accountability. When you need to communicate with your team about mistakes, shortcomings or other problems, you can approach them instead.\nInterested in what the other person has to say.\nAfter all, It’s hard to take responsibility, to admit our mistakes, and to make ourselves vulnerable to other people by telling the simple truth about our human failings.\nThat’s why it’s not fair to expect your people to do it off the bat. It’s up to you—the CEO, senior executive or managing partner—to establish that atmosphere of complete honesty and openness.\nBut a small change in your behavior can have a huge impact on your team. When you openly share the truth—about yourself, your expectations, and your own faults and failings—it sets the stage for your people to do the same. That’s the crux of the Approach philosophy: you meet respectfully, talk honestly, and work things out.\nStay tuned for the next article in this series, when we look at how leaders can increase workplace accountability even more if they they care, not control.
Chronic Sinus Headache and other Sinus Pains are closely related to TMJ Disorders. The connections between these problems is multifacted.\nThe Trigeminal Nerve also called the Dentist’s Nerve is the underlying common source of all of these problems.\nDentists are the experts on the Trigeminal Nerrve Disorders and in particular neuromuscular dentists who optimize eliminating noxious input to the trigeminal system. The term “TMJ: The Great Imposter” was coinded because patients with TMJ disorders frequently report symptoms not specifically related to the joints.\nDentists who practice TMD and Neuromuscular Dentistry are well versed in Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction or MPD as it relates to upper body, head neck and facial pain referred from active myofascial trigger points.\nThe Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG), the largest parasympathetic ganglion in the head is on the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve. I have taught hundreds of neuromuscular dentists both from the USA and from across the world how to utilize SPG Blocks as part of Neuromuscular Treatment.\nThe Sphenopalatine Ganglion also contains Sympathetic fibers of superior cervical change responsible for “Fight or Flight” reflex and when not controlled create a wide variety of stress, pain and emotional issues.\nThe Myomonitor utilized by Neuromuscular Dentistry effectively neuromodulates the sympathetic and parasympathetic autonnomic input from the Trigeminal Nervous System.\nThe majority of sinus pain and sinus headache are NOT primary issues or infections within the sinuses. Antibiotics may actually create new sinus issues related to fungal infections.\nSinus pain and Headaches can be relieved with SPG Blocks very quickly.\nLong term sinus improvements are related to function and structure. The following is a video of a patient who has experienced a cure of her lifetime sinus issues with DNA Appliance. Neuromuscular Dentistry treated her TMJ disorders and the DNA is used for long term stabilization and to increase the size of her airway.

Haute-Normandi e is a region of France that has two departments: Seine-Maritime and Eure. Main cities are Rouen and Evreux.\nHaute-Normandie is an economically powerful region despite the fact that it has only two departments. Its assets are numerous with the cereal industry, its industrial district, its commercial ports and its high tech industries. Its cultural, environmental and fun assets are equally important, with numerous museums, and theatres, its parks and gardens, the value given to its forests and the restoration of its architectural heritage. Also, the tourists’ attractions are numerous with great abbeys, impressionism and of course Etretat, Dieppe, Rouen, or Evreux, as well as the beautiful countryside, its apples and dairy products.\nCultural events are numerous with the festival of ‘Polar A La Plage’, the ‘Festival ‘Les Nuits d'Orient’ and the ‘Festival coups 2 k'eure’.
At left, the assembly of a proof-of-concept breeder reactor EBR-1 , 1951. Not very big, is it?\nThe breeder reactor is a curious thing. Automajically, it is able to create more fissile material than it burns by bombarding a "blanket layer" of unreactive material and turning it into a fissile isotope able to fuel its own chain-reaction.\nIt's nuclear science. Alchemy on the atomic level. I won't endeavor to explain it here. Trust me on this one: it works.\nKim Jong-un is living proof.\nThough, there is an odd bit of speculation that suggests the Nazi's might have been farther along than we public think with their nuclear science. I find this concept a little off but hey, when Bigfoot is on Letterman I'll look like an idiot then, too.\nA reactor pile from Nazi Germany was found and disassembled. We know they had real trouble managing the criticality (keeping it working from a sustained reaction).\nOf course, not everything one tries works the first time and the Germans were great at trying many different things in many different groups. Intellectual capital they had aplenty. Maybe we found the project that got a "D" that semester.\nSubmarine U-234 (now THAT is a confusing moniker in this context) surrendered to an American destroyer at the end of the war. She was a converted mine layer bound for Japan with a disassembled Me-262 jet fighter, a radio-controlled glide bomb (300KG warhead), what her captain said were fifty lead cubes labeled U-235, mercury, technical drawings and some special passengers. The navy reports listed 1200 pounds of unenriched U-238 as well.\nToday, given these materials, a reasonably competent mad scientist could produce a fast breeder reactor, create sufficient fissile plutonium Pu-239 to fuel an atomic weapon, deploy such a weapon in a copy of the glider weapon, and kill a modern aircraft carrier.\nThis is possible with knowledge and the inventory of the submarine.\nDid the Germans know of Plutonium and its uses as a fissile source? Unlikely. Did they master a fast breeder reactor (the mercury would be a moderator for such a reactor if one were desperate. A liquid metal reactor doesn't tend to blow up like steam-producing liquid cooled reactors do) ?\nI seriously doubt the Germans mastered a way to generate plutonium or to master the design of a fast breeder reactor. I will qualify this assertion by saying a fast breeder with no power production requirement is a pretty simple beast to build. Got a used envelope? We can do the math on the back.\nDo we know everything about the German atomic program? No. Unlike the Nazi Germany rocket program (aka , NASA for three decades), we didn't quite embrace "atoms for peace" with what we discovered about the axis technical prowess in nuclear engineering. There were lots of reasons for this policy.\nThanks to Uncle Harry and the Atomic Energy Act of 1946, we didn't share any of our knowledge of advanced nuclear design - civilian or military - with even our closest allies for years.\nThe Brits almost killed the countryside making plutonium at Windscale in 1957.\nThe help the Americans had extended before this accident was "don't put water on the graphite fire your're going to have one day ... it makes it worse" and , especially helpfully: "those graphite blocks you built the reactor out of that you think are inert ...well, they grow after you irradiate them for a bit - and they release heat energy oddly after you get them nice and glowing."\nThe Brits responded "thanks so much" and proceeded to cram the thing with every bit of radioactive matter they could find.\nOne day, during tea - it all went to hell. To their credit, they didn't catch the graphite on fire. They caught the uranium fuel in the reactor face on fire.\nMilk from 500 sq KM of farmland downwind was poured in the Irish sea for the next month as the Iodine-131 took a while to decay. Really, that's a 20 x 25 km patch of land and that's not so bad. Made pudding a bit expensive for a while, though.\nAnyway, speculative fiction is fun. It requires a little suspense of belief.\nI would say that if you gave U-234 to me in 1945, I'd have sunk at least one battle group. I'd of at least dramatically lowered the price of real estate in Honolulu.\nThe question is, if you give U-234 to the Japanese in 1945, could they do anything with its cargo?\nThere's your novel. Go to it.\nI'm off to write my novel.\nDon't drink coffee near those pages you're working on. The electrons won't like it when the spill you have one day soaks into your motherboard and corrodes it.\nI love stories that present alternate histories. They're really just so much fun to read. The nuclear history is pretty interesting, too...imagining ways to rewrite history.\nAll it takes is a little Wallace and Gromit and you're hooked on speculative fiction and alternate histories.\nMust go use the mind-o-matic now. "I'm inventing mostly."
Rebranding one of the most recognisable brands in betting was a huge achievement. Leading a team which transformed almost every aspect whilst maintaining the heritage that William Hill carries was a huge undertaking and affected many touch points for the brand. The key link which binds all of the identity together is taken from an angle within the recognisable William Hill logo, we found this angle was 33°. This angle flowed through the entire identity, the typeface, iconography and illustration which all included a 33° subtle twist. We optimised colour palettes, commissioned a custom 3 weight— 8 cut typeface, created a new brand property and were involved in the creation of 3D dynamic football players for communications. The result was a strong united brand able to better communicate with customers and; provided with a fresh new set of assets to what was a tired unregulated brand identity.
From Thursday, January 26 - Friday, January 27 the community of Christ the Saviour hosted His Eminence Archbishop Mark and the clergy and faithful from throughout the Diocese of Philadelphia and Eastern PA. The spirit of the Assembly was peaceful, the liturgical services were beautiful, and the hospitality was gracious and delicious! Many thanks to all our parishioners who offered their time and talents in hosting this important event!
Every week, we highlight some of the most interesting new apps and collect them here for your consideration. This time, our picks include some interactive art, a quick way to exchange contact information, and a really rude personal trainer.\nSlip knows that exchanging business cards can be annoying. You have to find your cards and then take theirs and then maybe jam it into the back of the thing where you keep your cards, and hopefully it fits. And then later, you find their card and can’t remember why you’d met in the first place.\nSo instead of that, Slip uses Bluetooth to exchange contact information wirelessly. You go in and toggle which bits of information you want to share and just flip it over to another user with a single swipe. You can also text or e-mail it to people without Slip, but that’s not as much fun.\nIt isn’t hard to find a fitness app that offers enthusiastic and positive encouragement to keep you motivated and working toward your goals. CARROT Fit is not one of those apps.\nFollowing its predecessors, CARROT To-Do and CARROT Alarm, Fit brings the you-deprecating artificial intelligence program to bear on your weight-loss plan. You set your goal, and “she” gives you points and virtual medals for doing well and mocks you if you don’t. It’s basically like if GLaDOS, the comical, murderous A.I. from developer Valve’s Portal series, were sent to whip you into shape.\nBy which I mean that CARROT Fit is kind of amazing.\nIf you’re due for an upgrade to your iPhone, you might be wondering what to do with your current one. You could go to a bunch of different websites and search for buyback values or try to just sell it yourself, but that sounds like a lot of work, and living in the future like we do means things should be easy.\nPhone Price is an app that aggregates phone trade-in values from a variety of sources so that you can get the most for your old device. So you’re basically making the phone a party to its own rejection and disposal, and that’s pretty cold.\nYou can pop into iTunes and find several dozen apps that will use the GPS in your iPhone to create an accurate speedometer, but most of them have a major problem: You have to look down.\niHud tries to solve that issue. You open it, and your velocity appears. It reads backwards, but if you place your phone up under your windshield, the reflection will look right, and you won’t have to look away from the road to check your speed.\nI’m not sure how you keep your phone from sliding off your dash when you turn, but that’s for the engineers.\nHave you heard of Colour by Numbers? It’s a light installation in Stockholm in which anyone with a mobile phone can participate.\nThe top 10 floors of the Telefonplan tower contain colored lights, and you can change their hues by either calling in and punching in a bunch of numbers or using this app. For five minutes at a time, you can select floors and mix red, blue, and green to create any color you want. And you can watch the live feed online to see your contribution in real time.\nIt’s kind of eerie, actually.\nPeople love their privacy, but you can’t play Phone Goalie all the time. What if there were some way to hide who your iMessages and texts are coming from, even if whichever nosy person you’re with is looking right at your screen?\nEnter Contact Alias, an app that lets you set alternate names for anyone on your list and toggle them on and off with a single touch of a comically large button. I’m sure it has practical applications for sneaky sneakers, but I’m probably just going to use it to quickly change people’s contact names to “A**hole” when I’m mad at them.
Chickens were puzzling to early chemists and remain so. Despite a diet low in calcium, eggs laid by chickens contain a huge amount of calcium. Chickens, in that sense, are the only alchemists with proof that they are able to transmute an element; Wooden Wand’s 'Clipper Ship' album reminds me of that fowl alchemy, where the sum of songs’ parts add up to some impossible, elegant germination that cannot be reduced.\nOn 'Clipper Ship', the images, though they seem like they’ve always been there, still shock: like finding a cave in the woods behind your house. Phrases like: ‘the sun’s not going down/the sun’s just being shy/the clouds look heavy/like they’re duct taped to the sky’ have an erstwhile American dignity, like John O’Hara could have written them. They are not just words the songs are serving, however; neither one would resonate accurately without the other. Toth is hard to pin down as a vocalist; his voice is a compelling mix of channels: the intimacy of Pearls Before Swine, the cajoling of Judy Roderick, and the sly, gentle tone of Kevin Ayers. He and Ayers share that quality of more than one voice moving through their throats, like the wind touching a series of chimes in one breath.

Endodontic Care Doesn’t Cause Pain — It Relieves It!\nIf you’re about to have your first root canal treatment, you might be feeling pretty apprehensive about the whole thing, especially given all the stories floating around. Well, don’t worry — all will be revealed in this step-by-step walk-through of root canal treatment. Knowing what will happen ahead of time is more than half the battle; you will soon learn that it really is much ado about nothing. So let’s start by dispelling a common myth: Root canal treatment doesn’t cause pain — it relieves it!\nSome background will be helpful. As you will note from the illustrations, a space inside the tooth called the pulp chamber houses the root canal system and pulp — the living tissue that keeps the tooth vital (alive). The pulp includes blood vessels, nerves and connective tissues, and, during childhood, creates the surrounding hard tissues of the tooth. Endodontic treatment (“endo” – inside; “dont” – tooth), commonly known as root canal treatment, is needed when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected. The causes could be deep tooth decay, repeated dental procedures on one tooth (replacing a large filling, for example), or traumatic damage such as a crack, chip or even a root fracture. Gum disease can also give rise to root canal problems necessitating root canal treatment. Any of these issues can result in acute inflammation of the pulp, which causes swelling and pressure inside the tooth (that has nowhere to go), leading to tooth pain and, eventually, irreversible damage to the pulp.\nOnce the pulp dies, the pain may subside initially, sometimes to return as an acute (painful) infection spreading into the periapical tissues (“peri” – around; “apex” – end), particularly the bone. It could also become a chronic (long-standing) infection with symptoms ranging from mild to severe.\nEndodontists are dentists who have completed an additional three years of advanced residency training in the diagnosis and management of diseases and disorders of the dental pulp, and in the diagnosis of dental pain; their focus is therefore on saving teeth. In order to make a proper assessment and accurate diagnosis of which tooth is affected and exactly what is causing the pain, a thorough history and examination is necessary, together with a radiographic picture (x-ray) of the tooth or area.\nYour endodontist will check your medical history and current medications to ensure your health and treatment safety. If you are very nervous, an oral sedative or anti-anxiety medication may be helpful — discuss the options with your endodontist ahead of time.

Home > Healthy Hair > What is the Normal Cycle of Hair Loss and Regrowth?\nHair growth, like all other functions of the body, has a normal cycle that it follows in every individual. Unless something like disease or unnatural events interrupts that cycle, the hair growth maintains a natural, consistent course throughout the lifetime of each person.\nThe normal cycle of hair loss and regrowth contains three phases: the growing cycle, also called the anagen phase; the resting cycle, also called the telogen phase; and the shedding cycle, also called the catagen phase. Each phase has a predetermined duration and place in the normal hair growth cycle. Each cycle is unique to each hair follicle as each follicle operates independently from all of the other follicles.\nThe normal hair growth cycle is stimulated and maintained by the release of hormones that are targeted at the hair follicles. These hormones keep the growth cycle on track and allow for consistent hair growth. Although each cycle is unique there are some basic similarities from cycle to cycle.\nThe growing phase of the normal hair growth cycle is responsible for producing new hair and for allowing the continued lengthening of that new hair. In this cycle hair is produced at the root and growth is maintained through the blood vessels, which feed the hair strand its nourishment. This phase lasts about four or five years and at any given time about 90% of the existing hair follicles are engaged in this phase. At the end of the growing phase these follicles enter the resting phase.\nOnce a hair follicle enters the resting phase its function is to maintain the existing hair strand at the existing hair length. During this time the hair follicle still receives nourishment but is in the process of preparing for hair strand shedding. The resting phase of each hair follicle lasts an average of two to four months after which time the hair strand is released so that the follicle can prepare for new hair growth. At any given time about 5% of the hair follicles in the scalp are engaged in the resting phases of the hair growth cycle. Once the resting phase is complete the shedding phase begins.\nThe shedding phase of the hair growth cycle is the shortest phase. During this part of the cycle old hair strands are released so that the hair follicle can begin new hair growth. Once this phase is complete the cycle begins again and the follicle enters the growth phase for another four or five years. Each day anywhere from 50 to 100 hair strands are shed during the normal process of this phase.\nThis is also the phase that is most associated with baldness. If a person is suffering from Alopecia or Hair Loss they will first notice an abnormally high rate of shedding. At first this excessive hair loss will result in hair thinning but the end result could be baldness. Abnormal hair loss or shedding is defined as the loss of more than 150 hair strands each day for an extended period of time. If the abnormal pattern continues individuals are encouraged to See A Doctor about the hair loss.\nWill taking multivitamin help your hair thicken up after the hair has thinning out!

The interest rate on security and pet damage deposits in British Columbia will remain at 0.0% for 2014.\nThe deposit interest rate is set annually, as required by the Residential Tenancy Act. The rate has remained at 0.0% since 2009.\nGenerally, a landlord must calculate the interest owing on the full amount of the tenant’s deposit before any deductions are made. The interest is calculated from the date the tenant paid the deposit to the date the deposit will be returned to the tenant.\nLandlords are required to calculate the interest owing and provide the information to the tenant. Any interest is then paid along with the returned deposit.\nThe Residential Tenancy Branch provides a deposit interest calculator on it’s website — a useful tool for years where the deposit interest rate is a positive figure.

Defendant Eduardo Garcia-Patino is charged in a thirty-two-count Superseding Indictment with one count of conspiracy to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine (Count 1), and one count of possession with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine (Count 26). This matter comes before the Court on Defendant's Motion to Suppress (Doc. 138). Defendant moves to suppress evidence seized following a traffic stop on March 31, 2017. The Court held a hearing on Defendant's motion on December 8, 2017, after which the Court took the matter under advisement. Defendant's motion is now fully briefed and the Court is prepared to rule. For the reasons explained below, the Court denies Defendant's motion.\nOn March 31, 2017, Lt. Justin Stopper, a criminal interdiction team lieutenant for the Geary County Sheriff's Office, was patrolling Interstate 70 near mile marker 303. As Lt. Stopper was travelling westbound, he noticed Defendant traveling eastbound in a black Dodge pickup truck. Lt. Stopper testified he could see the road for several hundred yards in this area. Video from Lt. Stopper's car shows a black pickup, followed by Defendant's black Dodge pickup truck. The video shows all but approximately fifteen seconds of Lt. Stopper's observation of Defendant's vehicle. Lt. Stopper testified that he saw that the lead vehicle was covering up the view of the second (Defendant's) vehicle, and thus he believed the second vehicle was following too closely.\nLt. Stopper continued observing the two vehicles using the “two-second rule” to determine whether the second vehicle was following too closely. When he saw the first vehicle cross a dashed line, he began counting until the second vehicle crossed the same line. Lt. Stopper determined that the interval between the two vehicles was between 1.75 and two seconds. He had not finished counting to two when the second vehicle crossed the dashed line. Lt. Stopper conducted a second two-second rule calculation using a concrete turnaround in the median as a marker. Lt. Stopper again observed that there was less than a two-second interval between the two vehicles. Lt. Stopper testified that traffic was light during his observations. He also testified that conditions were clear and that there was no road construction on that day. Accordingly, Lt. Stopper believed there was no legitimate reason for the vehicles to be traveling so close together, and he decided to initiate a traffic stop.\nLt. Stopper approached a paved crossing in the median, turned left into the crossing in order to access the eastbound lanes, sped up to catch Defendant's truck, and pulled even with his truck in the left lane to check if the driver was wearing a seatbelt. Lt. Stopper decelerated and trailed Defendant's truck for approximately two minutes before activating his lights and stopping the vehicle. Lt. Stopper observed Defendant driving slower than the lead vehicle while Lt. Stopper was trailing him. Lt. Stopper testified that he did not observe the lead vehicle increase its distance at any time.\nLt. Stopper approached Defendant's truck and informed Defendant that he had stopped him for following too closely behind the truck in front of him. Lt. Stopper completed a Notice to Appear and issued it to Defendant. Lt. Stopper asked Defendant if he could search Defendant's truck, and Defendant consented. While searching the truck, Lt. Stopper found a red duffel bag containing 20 packages of methamphetamine, weighing 10.69 net kilograms with a purity of 99% ( 4%).\nLt. Stopper stated in his report that he observed the alleged infraction as he was traveling westbound and while Defendant was travelling eastbound, and that he stopped Defendant for a violation of K.S.A. § 8-1523, which provides that “[t]he driver of a motor vehicle shall not follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due regard for the speed of such vehicles and the traffic upon and the condition of the highway.” Specifically, Lt. Stopper stated that he stopped Defendant for “following the lead pickup at a distance of less than two seconds.” Before preparing his report, Lt. Stopper watched the video recording from his vehicle dashboard on a computer, and he used another road marker to calculate the distance of the cars. Using the computer video software and a stopwatch, he determined there was approximately a 1.7 second interval between the cars using this highway marker.\nDefendant presented testimony of Steven Christoffersen, a forensic engineering expert who authored a report analyzing the dash camera video taken by Lt. Stopper. Mr. Christoffersen initially used Google Earth imagery and still shots of the dash camera video to determine that the interval between the vehicles was likely approximately two seconds. Mr. Christoffersen visited the site of the incident on August 16, 2017 to conduct a detailed roadway documentation and measurement to calculate the speed and distance between the vehicles. He rented a vehicle that was the same make and model as Lt. Stopper's patrol vehicle and mounted a camera on the dashboard of his car in the same position as Lt. Stopper's camera. He also documented the speed of his car using a speedometer and a GPS monitor to match Lt. Stopper's speed. Mr. Christoffersen measured the details of various reference objects, including a bridge, utility poles, and signs, so he could determine the position of the vehicles on the road.\nMr. Christoffersen created a scaled diagram of the roadway that identified the location of various reference objects. He compared the positions of the vehicles in different video frames to determine the vehicles' speeds, and determined that the lead pickup was traveling at 81.4 miles per hour, and Defendant's pickup was traveling at 74.6 miles per hour. Mr. Christoffersen also calculated the separation distance between the cars as 2.14 seconds. Applying an error rate of 4.4%, Mr. Christoffersen determined that the possible range of separation distance was between 2.05 and 2.23 seconds. Mr. Christoffersen testified that variations in the way people count to two, in the style of “one thousand one, one thousand two, ” may result in a variation of up to one second in the actual elapsed time when two people finish counting to “one thousand two.” Mr. Christoffersen further testified and Lt. Stopper's dashboard camera video showed that the lead truck increased its distance from Defendant's truck as the video progressed. Mr. Christoffersen testified that it was possible the lead vehicle sped up or passed Defendant's pickup, which would explain the difference in the vehicles' speeds. However, nothing in the video suggests the lead vehicle was ever in the left lane. Mr. Christoffersen also testified that it was possible Defendant's vehicle decreased speed because he noticed Lt. Stopper's patrol vehicle.

Hi. I watched your video tutorials about Sprite animations, I have only one question. Is it the same as Macromedia when converting into Tracebit instead of AdobeC3, because Macro is free...?
I'm a little sorry that I don't have folders and folders with their pics at my computer. So I can't contribute much to the actual hype in this thread... Haha, I depend on baidu. Worse luck!\nBut the people at baidu have seemingly also a big crush on JJH/YEH as a couple until now. What a "global" feeling!\nWhat a cute pic! It seems they are unknowingly gravitate towards one another like magnets. They look so lighthearted and happy together. - Could be the physics of love!\nIt reminds me of the time when I watched Goong 1.5.\nThat's the reason why I'm here - following this thread and posting my thoughts.\nThank you for all the pics, comments and your passion. Hope our feelings reflect the reality!\nthis thread suits me the best!!!\nstill hoping they would reunite again soon..\nlooove all the pics..made me miss them even more..and sugar is starting to build-up my system again! yay!\nfirst set of picture outpours!\nhahaha! i'm noting some of your observations and hope the others do the same too coz they are quite interesting!\nthat's what we've been saying since the thread started. we were actually surprised to see a lot of peeps dropping by and expressing their support for jjh and yeh until now. and how both have changed the lives of so many fans out there.\nglobal feeling. exactly. love is the universal language, so they say.\nbasically, it says jjh heard someone called oppa, and he turned and extended his hands to help. but he failed the first time as the crowd was closing in on them. he tried again and finally gotten hold of the hands.\nwe're not sure who he was actually reaching out to coz halma mama was also behind together with yeh, and we're not sure if someone really called oppa because the audio from the video clip isn't clear.\nbut if the fan account is accurate, i think halma mama wont' even call jjh her oppa noh?\nyay still feel giddy about this!\nand also love this couple too !!\nThese two are one of my favorite couples in Asian dramas. They look so cute together.\nwasn't it YEH in white cap???\nThanks PM for starting the thread!!...it’s so good to have a thread for our royal couple breathes in, breathes out…it gives us freedom to post about them without fear of getting warned due to shipping, hihi!\nmany thanks for starting this thread! i love goong!\nin fact by coincident, i am now watching it for the 8th time and at episode 12 - so it was kinda nice surprise to have found this thread. i really do wish they would do a continuation of goong - that would make everyone happy!\nso, she's left w/o flowers isn't it?\nisn't it cute that they receive fan gifts through each other?

Riley Geyer accounts for all 5 touchdowns to lift Rams over Bulldogs.\nFAIRFIELD — The Cony football team may have two quarterbacks, but the Rams only needed one of them Friday night.\nSophomore Riley Geyer threw four touchdown passes in a wonderfully efficient night of passing, leading Cony to a 37-20 win over Lawrence in a Pine Tree Conference Class B game at Keyes Field. Geyer completed 14 of 20 passes for 241 yards, including his final seven attempts of the second half, while also rushing for another 146 yards and a touchdown in the victory.\nGeyer’s 387 yards of total offense alone more than doubled Lawrence’s team total of 187 yards, helping Cony improve to 3-1 at the midpoint of the season. The Bulldogs dropped to 1-3.\nGeyer’s big game came with the quarterback taking every snap for the Rams after the team entered the week having used both he and junior Dakota Andow under center over the first three weeks of the season. An injury during the week in practice in Cony’s receiving corps, in part, necessitated a move by Andow to that position to fill an existing void.\nNot only did the move catch Lawrence by surprise, but Geyer delivered in the starring role.\nSenior wideout Reed Hopkins caught a pair of touchdowns, including one from 37 yards in the second quarter which gave Cony the lead for good at 14-7.\nSeniors Matt Wozniak and Mike Wozniak also caught scoring passes from Geyer, who tossed touchdown throws of 19, 37, 30 and 11 yards — one of them in each quarter.\nGeyer sealed the win with a 55-yard touchdown run with under two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter that built a 37-14 lead. That run answered a long, 14-play Lawrence drive midway through the period that ended with senior Kyle Carpenter’s second touchdown run of the night for the Bulldogs.\nCony’s defense was otherwise superb, particularly in the first half when it stopped two Lawrence drives inside the Rams’ 25-yard line. Cony’s Nic Mills fumbled the ball away on the game’s very first play from scrimmage, but the Bulldogs were stopped on fourth down on the ensuing possession.\nHopkins picked off Lawrence quarterback Dylan Coombs (6 of 9, 42 yards) in the end zone on fourth down, stopping a would-be second-quarter scoring drive for the Bulldogs that could have tied the game at 14-14.\nEleven plays and nearly five minutes later, sophomore Kyle Douin kicked a 21-yard field goal in the final seconds of the period to send the Rams into halftime with a 17-7 lead.\nLawrence added a score when backup quarterback Nate Bickford connected with Zach Nickerson from five yards out as time expired in the final quarter.

Flexible Ga doped ZnO transparent conductive films were prepared on polymer substrates at room temperature by RF magnetron sputtering. The effect of the Ar flow rate is more important than that of r.f. power and sputtering pressure. The dependence of the structural, electrical, optical and adhesive properties of flexible Ga doped ZnO transparent conductive thin films on the Ar flow rate was investigated for the first time. When the Ar flow rate is 40 sccm, the residual stress is changed from compressive stress to tensile stress, indicating the crystallinity of the film is best. And the lowest square resistance of 7.9 Ω/sq. is obtained at the Ar flow rate of 40 sccm. Regardless of the Ar flow rate, the optical transmittance in the visible light of all the films is about 90%. The best adhesive behavior is obtained at the Ar flow rate of 40 sccm.

Alta Mora is a new winery from the Cusumano family. These grapes are grown and harvested on the slopes of the active volcano, Mt. Etna, in Sicily. This volcano is the largest active volcano in Europe and one of sixteen in the world that is said to pose a high risk to life and property, according to the UN.\nIt has been a lifelong dream for the Cusumano brothers to build a winery among these black, fertile and dynamic soils. They believe in taking a great risk to produce great, unique wines. The name Alta Mora translates to “Tall, Black” representing the great heights of the vineyards on the mountain and the dark, black volcanic soil. The volcano itself is nearly 11,000ft high and vineyards are planted up to 4,000ft high – the tallest in Europe. This brand truly captures the essence of patience, work ethic, energy, and love of unique beauty.

Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved breakfast food, particularly breakfast when it’s served for dinner. Maybe it’s because it was easy for my mom to make an easy dinner for three growing kids when my dad had to work late nights or go on business trips. Just whip up a pan of scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese, let all of us help with making waffles, pancakes, or French toast, and helping squeeze fresh orange juice or pour milk. Since then, I have loved making breakfast for dinner. Maybe it reminds me of childhood, or maybe it’s because I could eat breakfast food at any hours of the day (or night). Mostly it’s because these recipes are usually very easy and affordable to make. Here is a list of 14 fabulous breakfast for dinner recipes that I collected from Foodie.com.\nThis delicious dish has a mix of eggs, potatoes, chorizo sausage, shallots, stewed tomatoes, and avocados. It’s enough to make my mouth water just reading the description of the skillet.\nMashed potatoes aren’t typically a breakfast food, but this recipe sounded too good not to add. Filled with bacon, cheddar cheese, and sour cream, they make a hearty stand-alone dish. Add finely chopped green onions on top for a beautiful garnish.\nQuiche is one of my very favorite foods. There’s something about having a blend of eggs, cheese, potatoes, and vegetables all contained in a crust that is so comforting to me. This particular quiche is filled with bacon, zucchini, red onion, red peppers, Swiss cheese, and hash browns.\nMaybe I am part hobbit, but potatoes are a staple in my diet. After all, you can “boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew.” This dish of potatoes, however, has you fry them in a skillet with onions, sausage, a little thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper. When they’re golden brown and the meat is cooked, your dish is ready.\nThis dish of fried potatoes can be served as a side. Made with fried potatoes, onions, and red, green, and yellow bell peppers, you’ll be sure that you and your family are eating a colorful side dish.\nLike most frittatas, this simple egg dish is quick and easy to make. You can choose whatever vegetables to throw in the mix before you bake it. Some of my favorite ingredients for frittatas are diced tomatoes, white or yellow onions, red and green bell pepper, spinach, asparagus spears, mushrooms, and a little Swiss cheese. If you’re a carnivore, add some breakfast sausage or chopped up bacon to the mix for a one-dish meal.\ndidn’t know what “hash” was until I was in eighth grade and I saw the film Cinderella Man starring Russell Crowe when it first came out. And I wasn’t aware that you could make potato hash without corned beef (because that was all I had ever had in it) until I started looking up some new recipes. For this delicious recipe, you’ll need eggs, bacon, onion, red potatoes, garlic, sweet peppers, butter, salt, and fresh thyme. You end up making little wells in the bacon and potato hash to crack to eggs in and bake them. Such a smart idea!\nIf you’re going for the classic ham and eggs breakfast for dinner, look no further than this quick and easy (not to mention affordable) frittata. This recipe includes ham, eggs, Cheddar cheese, bread cubes, hash browned potatoes, milk, olive oil, crushed red pepper (for a little kick), dry mustard, and salt. This is a satisfying one dish meal that can feed the whole family for less.\nThis is a recipe anyone can make (and I mean anyone…even those of us who can’t manage to boil water). It merely uses frozen French toast (the creator said they used the Aunt Jemima brand), and a little cooking spray. Once the cups are made, if you want you can fill them with scrambled eggs, cheese, and a little bacon. Or, you can go classic French toast, and fill the cups with a little butter and syrup. Just make sure to keep the napkins handy.\nThis recipe has to be prepared a little bit before you make it since the crepe batter has to be refrigerated for at least an hour. But this slight twist on a breakfast burrito will leave your mouth watering. The interior of the crepes is made with eggs, diced green chilies, shredded cheese, crumbled cotija cheese, sliced avocado, chopped tomatoes, salsa sour cream, and crumbled bacon. Aye, qué delicioso!\nThis recipe had me thinking that it was opposite day and that I wasn’t sure if I should add it to the collection. But then I looked at this recipe and realized it looked delicious! The omelets inside the crepes are made with eggs, cheese, and fresh pico de gallo salsa. Once again, I have to say: qué delicioso!\nFrench toast has always been one of my favorite breakfast foods, partly because it was something my siblings and I could make together for breakfast when we had leftover French bread. While this recipe calls for whole grain toasted bread, I’d most likely substitute it for French toast to give me a little memory of home.\nThis easy to make breakfast casserole looks perfect for a large family on a budget. Made with eggs, milk, potatoes, peppers, onions, Cheddar cheese, and breakfast sausage, it has all the ingredients for a hearty one-dish breakfast that anyone can throw together in a pinch.\nThis breakfast casserole can be thrown together for a tasty and satisfying breakfast for dinner. Made with eggs, your choice of veggies (like onions, peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes), cheddar cheese, hash brown, and bacon – it’s sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.\nFor millennials it’s sometimes common to skip breakfast, so enjoy it for dinner!\n* As per FTC regulations that this is a sponsored opportunity with Foodie.com.

A specialist orthodontist is a qualified dentist who has carried out a further 3 years postgraduate specialist training after completing their 5-year dental degree. During their postgraduate training, they have to successfully pass the Membership examination with the Royal College of Surgeons along with a postgraduate Masters degree.\nBy learning and understanding about tooth movement (orthodontics) and guidance of facial development (dentofacial orthopaedics), specialist orthodontists are the uniquely trained experts within dentistry to straighten teeth and align jaws. Orthodontists diagnose, prevent and treat dental and facial irregularities. Specialist orthodontists treat a wide variety of malocclusions (improperly aligned teeth and/or jaws) and regularly treat young children, teenagers and adults.\nThe majority of orthodontists limit their practices to orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics. Dr Kyi only carries out orthodontic treatment. On a daily basis, Dr Kyi sees a large number of patients for brace treatment only and she is highly specialized in braces, having treated over a thousand patients.\nWhy is it important to have your orthodontic treatment with a specialist orthodontist? Surely it’s just straightening teeth?\nWell it is more than just straight teeth. The teeth are involved with supporting the associated facial structures which include lip position, jaw position and profile. Moving the teeth or straightening the teeth can affect all these facial structures. Your ‘bite’ must be left in a stable position at the end of treatment to reduce the risk of future problems.\nIt is important that the orthodontic treatment is planned and properly completed to achieve successful treatment with long-term stability.\nOrthodontic treatment starts with the end goal in mind – one has to plan the desired result which has to be stable and ensuring the patients’ profile is kept in balance and harmony. To ensure the correct tooth movements occur, this has to be perfectly planned. Being able to plan takes training and experience.\nIn the UK, there are no restrictions for a dentist to offer orthodontic treatment as long as they (the dentist) feel they are competent to carry out treatment. There are a number of brace systems marketed specifically at dentists which may be offered at a lower financial cost to the patient.\nOrthodontic treatment often takes over 12 months, the average being 18 months. You can only gain experience and understand the case by working through to the completion of each case.\nContact our office today at 020 8222 8760 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kyi.\nTo fully understand the complexities of treatment, this cannot be achieved in a one-week course which may be taken by a general dentist who is able to offer lower-priced treatments.\nTo carry out orthodontic training and become a specialist orthodontist takes a further three years after completing the five-year dental degree. In the same respect, it would be unlikely you would choose to see an orthodontist to have a filling or a crown as the orthodontist may not have carried out this procedure for many years.\nIt is very important that you maintain your regular check-ups with your dentist and hygienist appointments all throughout your orthodontic treatment. Healthy teeth will last you a lifetime. All the fields dentistry are involved and work together to maintain this goal of life-long healthy teeth.
