Key artwork and supporting asset design for Cameron Esposito & Rhea Butcher's 2017 comedy tour and subsequent #1 comedy album on iTunes.
NBCUniveral’s tapped us to create logotype and key art for their new original sitcom series, Take My Wife, set to air on their new comedy streaming service, SeeSo.
Take My Wife follows the semi-autobiographical lives Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher, real life wives and stand up comics, as they navigate work and relationships in the real world.
In creating the key art and logotype, we wanted to take the design sensibilities of the 50s and 60s – the era of the “atomic family” – and re-appropriate them for this new representation of family in 2016. We pulled mood and direction from classic family shows like Leave it to Beaver, poured in some midcentury color vibes, and built this beautiful key art that would go on to accompany this show as it premiered to massive critical acclaim.
Nestled in gorgeously surf-tastic San Clemente, California, Bear Coast Coffee focuses on bringing quality coffee to folks in a simple and approachable way.
A Name Brand co. was fortunate enough to help Bear Coast build this brand from the ground up, starting with the name and the Cali-centric brand concept. We actually wrote an in-depth blog about the logo creation process that you can check out to get the whole story!
The ever-growing list of pieces we have produced for them include ground-coffee based lettering, etched and hand painted menu boards, and Keep Cups. We even developed a new gift card system for Bear Coast, the completely eliminates traditional gift cards in lieu of wooden drink tokens.
Silkscreen printed iced coffee bottle designs for Long Beach based Recreational Coffee. Long Beach is one of our favorite cities for a number of reasons, and we wanted to capture some of the vibe that we love and put it in print.
And in case you were wondering, it's not cold-brewed.
Brand design for Saint John the Divine Episcopal Church in Costa Mesa, California.
Client tasked us with designing an identity that was fresh and modern while still honoring the rich history and tradition of the Episcopal Church. Episcopal churches are often mistaken to be ancient, out of touch faith groups, when in reality the Episcopal Church has always been a radical and progressive movement; female bishops, LGBT affirming, transgender folks in ministry, etc.. In addition to wanting to look fresh and clean, it was also important that the whole thing be very understated. Not plastering their property with way-finding graphics or promotional materials. Just simple, tasteful touches that would be implemented in their 60-year-old church.
We set out to craft a intricate, beautiful, complex-yet-simple logo that would speak to this progressive nature while still feeling sacred and special. In other words, not simply looking cool and hip to attract people who don’t want to go to church, but honoring the sacredness of a church service that has been almost unchanged for hundreds of years.
We are so proud of the work we created for Saint John. It resonates just as strongly with the elderly congregation who have been Episcopals for their entire lives as much as it does with the young adults and everyone in between – so we definitely consider it a wild success.
Custom script lettering, custom built title lettering, key art and assets for Cameron Esposito's full length stand-up special Marriage Material.
Cameron came to us with a Bowie-esque vision for her album artwork, and it was an absolute blast. Not to mention, a series of supplementary illustration bits based on jokes from her special - and some of them made it to enamel pins by Valley Cruise Press!

Is a Financial Aftershock Headed Our Way?
The debt crisis that has rocked Greece and much of Europe is a wake-up call for policymakers and investors not only overseas but also in the US.
The warning that should not be ignored: Nations can’t keep spending more than they take in without suffering painful consequences — to economies and investors. If they do, their government debt gets downgraded and the cost of financing that debt soars. Policymakers often wait until it’s too late to head off a crisis.
Despite a $1 trillion rescue package for Greece from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, the current crisis has shaken global markets. And it is likely to hurt economies around the globe for months and even years as many debt-ridden European countries are forced to adopt austerity programs or face financial instability.
As debt-burdened European economies remain sluggish, US export sales to Europe will be anemic, especially at a time when the rising value of the US dollar in relation to the euro has made those exports much less of a bargain. That is a big negative because much of the recent growth fueling a solid recovery in the US economy has come from overseas sales of manufactured goods, and Europe accounts for 20% of US exports.
Compounding the problem is that export sales also could slow to Asia, a big customer for US goods — but for different reasons. China’s economy has been booming, with that nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) growing at a nearly 12% rate in the first quarter of 2010. Now Chinese policymakers are trying to dampen inflation by cooling down the red-hot economy and by reducing credit to businesses and individuals to limit borrowing. As a result, demand in China — the third-largest economy in the world — for exports from other countries will likely decline. With export sales to Europe and Asia softening, US economic growth will be muted. After growing by 5.6% in the fourth quarter of 2009, GDP is slipping this year to a growth rate of near 3% for 2010 and less in 2011. That is much weaker than the typical growth rate that followed most earlier recessions.
With the economy growing slowly, employment will pick up only slightly. The US will add about 150,000 jobs a month this year, not including census workers. That is an improvement from last year when jobs were vanishing and the unemployment rate rose above 10%. But the growth in jobs will barely be fast enough to absorb the new people who are constantly entering the workforce. As a result, the unemployment rate will decline only gradually, dropping from the recent figure of 9.9% down to 9.5% by the end of this year and slightly below 9% in 2011.
To appreciate how weak the US job market will remain, it is important to consider the underemployment rate, which is currently near 17%. In addition to the unemployed, the underemployment rate includes those who are forced to work part-time or who have stopped looking for work, possibly because of frustration and pessimism. At best, the underemployment rate might drop to 14% in 2011, still about double the rate of two years ago.
Faced with unemployment and the fear of unemployment, consumers will be wary of spending. Sales of cars and homes will remain weak. Consumer spending will continue growing at a sluggish rate, well below the historical trend of 3.5%.
One bright spot will be corporate profits. Earnings of companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index likely will climb at a spectacular rate of 25% this year and a solid 10% to 15% in early 2011, before slowing later in 2011 and 2012. The gains are partly due to the growing US economy, which is pushing up corporate sales. In addition, companies have been aggressively fattening their bottom lines by cutting costs dramatically.
The strong earnings growth will provide some support for the stock market. But the risks to profits emanating from the European crisis and the Asian slowdown create conditions for stock market setbacks, including a substantial “correction” in the US and abroad that could take the S&P 500 to 1,000 or below, where it hasn’t been since September 2009. Later this year, I expect the S&P 500 to climb back up to around 1,200, a gain of perhaps 7.6% for 2010 and about even with this year’s highest closing price so far of 1,217 on April 23. By mid-2011, I expect the S&P 500 to rise to about 1,350.
Savers, who have grown weary of minuscule yields on money-market funds, should get some relief when the Federal Reserve starts raising short-term interest rates, probably in 2011 rather than this year. Rates on 10-year Treasury securities likely will climb from the recent level of 3.3% to around 4% in 2011. These rates still will be far too low to lure investors away from stocks and materially weaken the stock market. Complicating the outlook for the global economy, European nations will be forced to pay higher interest rates on their debt as investors see greater risk in their bonds, especially if nations such as Portugal, Spain and Italy are forced to seek rescue packages similar to that of Greece.
For the long run, stock investors should give extra weight to information technology companies, including producers of computer hardware and software. These companies are continuing to report strong sales in the US and abroad. Also consider companies that sell consumer staples, such as food and beverages. Those reliable performers are likely to enjoy steadily growing sales.
With the US and Europe growing only slowly and financial markets in disarray, for the long run investors should focus more than they usually do on Asian stocks and mutual funds, even with China’s attempts to slow growth. Having avoided most of the problems of the credit crisis, Asia should come out of this in relatively good shape.

When you are in the San Francisco Financial District and get a yen for Japanese cuisine, you can find good Nippon nosh at Niji Japanese Grill. While the menu is not extensive, Niji offers a decent array of bentos from teriyaki to soba noodles to maki to tempura. I usually order the salmon teriyaki bento which has a large fillet of grilled salmon, steamed broccoli, steamed rice, garden salad and miso soup. Everything tastes fresh and not overly seasoned. Niji is at the far corner of the Crocker Galleria but worth the hunt. I highly recommend Niji for a quick and inexpensive Japanese meal.

When I am in London for work, I have the good fortune of knowing good friend and colleague Ancia, who not only shares my love of shopping, but also of good food. Lucky me, the way my trip in September worked out, I was staying in the city over a weekend, and Ancia was kind enough to devote most of it to acquainting me with both the resplendent shopping Mecca of Selfridges and the post-card-esque Marylebone High Street. For lunch, she wanted to take me someplace special and unique, and as I’ve never had Lebanese cuisine before, special it was!
Fairuz Restaurant is tucked into a narrow, old city street, and is named after a very famous Beruit singer from the 1930s. It is comfortable, Bohemian, and staffed entirely by Lebanese dudes, which I like. Always a good sign for an ethnic restaurant – along with the fact that Middle Eastern people were eating there. Ancia and I commenced to two lovely glasses of white wine, and some stunningly delicious appetizers. The first, grilled halloumi cheese with tomatoes and cucumbers, was fabulous. Topped with nutty, slightly crunchy black sesame seeds, the briny, just-warm cheese and ripe tomatoes turned a would-be caprese salad into something much more. Halloumi cheese is pricey at Wegmans, but if you don’t have a Middle Eastern or Greek restaurant in your path serving it, find some and pan grill it up yourself. It’s stringy like mozzarella and salty like feta, the best of both worlds and yet not quite like either.
Next up, tiny lamb sausages, mild and savory, spiced with warming spices and served with flatbread and lemon. They were terrific, if not as exciting as the halloumi or our next dish, but as I’ve said before, if bar food in America were this good, I might go ahead and live above that bar. In fact, I have some ground lamb in the freezer right now – maybe I’ll make these for dinner!
Next up, our favorite dish of the meal, even though my entrée was fantastic in its own right. This was bantinjan kawerma, fried eggplant with yogurt and mint, topped with chopped up, cooked lamb filet and toasted pine nuts. I cannot find a recipe for this iteration of this dish online, and I’m really upset about it, because this was an addictively lovely dish. The eggplant was cooked down so much, it had disappeared into the yogurt with an utterly sweet, creamy consistency, and the salty lamb and pine nuts on top contrasted flawlessly into a sweet, savory, rich and light dip for the flatbread provided. Ancia loved it so much, she ate the dip with a spoon, and I was just mesmerized by how damn sweet the eggplant was. This is the kind of food I now crave with increasing frequency, and I wish it was more readily available here. I’m hopeful that Middle Eastern cuisine, with it’s comforting, warming spices and tender meats, will be the next big thing in America. Lebanese-Americans, open some more restaurants! Your food is the jam!
The menu sported a lamb knuckle dish served with coriander sauce, so there was no way anything else was being put down in front of me. Holy cow (holy lamb?), this was a gorgeous plate of food. The lamb was cooked down like pot roast, not gamey or funky in the slightest, but just tender, juicy, and ultimately savory. There's that word again, and I know I keep using it, but how else to describe the effect coriander, cumin, cinnamon and salt have on meat? If you can name the flavor with a better word, I'll give you a dollar. The coriander yogurt sauce and onions on top were cooling, tangy, and refreshing, and the basmati rice underneath was perfectly cooked and a suitable bed for the lush meat and sauce. I can hear you thinking, “Gross, knuckle!” already, but I’m telling you, there was no scary texture or flavor here. In fact, it reminded me of the beef Morgan’s dad Mike made for my parents and me a couple years ago – let’s just face it, friends, animals have delicious legs, and we should eat them.
Over each dish, you can see the little pools of olive oil. I’ve found this at Zahav, in Philly, as well – they finish plates with oil, but the quality is so high, nothing is ever greasy or outright oily. The practice imparts a peppery, true olive taste that sort of blesses everything with a hallmark that unites each dish. I love it. Ancia and I lingered at Fairuz for a couple hours, enjoying a gorgeous service of mint tea in tiny glasses that I wish I had photographed, and relaxing into the comfortable, antique chairs and banquets. I would give Fairuz an 8 on the BHS scale, with minor points off only because the restroom facilities were down the scariest, narrowest staircase ever, and the service, while attentive, was not particularly friendly. Then again, I’m pretty sure our waiter didn’t speak English – but it is what it is. My hunger is big, my personality is bigger!

Superheroes, faith and miracles—Oh My! While it may be a wee bit dangerous to equate modern-day superheroes with Jesus, theologically speaking—this weekend’s Gospel of Mark (6: 1-6) does make you wonder why Jesus “was not able to perform any mighty deed in His hometown, apart from curing a few sick people by laying his hands on them. He mentions their “lack of faith.” Was that faithlessness a form of “kryptonite” that prevented Him from His miraculous deeds? It seems, from Jesus’ own words, it was?
In today’s gospel we hear something very much akin to last week’s gospel message of faith-inspired healing. Recall the hemorrhaging woman who simply by having faith in Christ’s power knew that if she but touched His clothes, she would be healed. Today’s gospel is the opposite, by the lack of faith of those who knew Jesus best, He is unable to perform miracles. Scripture scholars tells us that Jesus’ closest friends—born in the midst of the everyday life are unsure of Him, due to their lack of faith, He was unable to do much. So what’s the difference between magic—or super powers—and faith?
Our Church teaches us that to have faith in Christ requires a “faith dialogue” with the Divine. Jesus does not come to us as a Wizard with potions, tricks, spells or incantations but rather He comes with Truth—and Truth and its acceptance requires an active faith—a free assent of the will, as the Church calls it, to believe what we hear in Scripture, from the teachings and lived actions of Christ—and to accept and believe. We believe the Sacraments are signs of God’s grace in our lives. To believe in these graces, we hope in God’s Power and His Power becomes real in our lives.
The late Father Eugene LaVerdiere, S.S.S., Scripture scholar and Senior Editor of Emmanuel magazine, wrote of Jesus’ amazement of the people’s lack of faith as a closure (or refusal) to His open dialogue, “For without (their) faith, He had no affect (on them).” Last Tuesday, 3 July 2018 on the Feast of St. Thomas, Apostle (doubting Thomas), the Gospel of the day said “Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe." Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” Let’s have an honest faith dialogue—and come to know and believe in Christ. Have faith, trust--and be believing!

General Count Fyodor Keller had assumed command of the Russian Eastern Force from General Zasulich after the Battle of Yalu River. His force of 25,000 men held Motien Pass, in the middle of Liaodong Peninsula, on the main road between Antung (modern Dandong, China) and Liaoyang. Keller, a loyal friend of General Aleksey Kuropatkin and a student of General Mikhail Skobelev, observed that the Japanese strategy was similar to that of the First Sino-Japanese War (i.e. that the three Japanese armies would converge on Haicheng, as they had 10 years previously). Kuropatin agreed, and in an effort to fortify his position at Haicheng, he began a series of complex and confusing troop movements as he endeavored to plug real or imaginary gaps in his defensive line. Keller, already weakened by the loss of men at the Battle of Te-li-Ssu, was further forced to give up two more regiments to Kuropatin's defenses at Haicheng.
The Japanese 1st Army, under command of General Kuroki Tamemoto, paused at Fenghaungshang (modern Fengheng, Liaoning Province, China) from 2–8 July to await supplies and reinforcements. Kuroki decided to attack on 9 July, which was, by coincidence, the same day that General Keller received orders from General Kuropatkin depriving him of yet another regiment to support the defenses of Haicheng.
Guarding the strategic Motien Pass, the Russians had three infantry regiments, three artillery batteries and a Cossack regiment. To the west was the reserve infantry regiment supported by a Cossack brigade. During the night of 8–9 July, a Japanese force moved along an unguarded path to the rear of the Russian right flank. This force was supported by Maxim machine guns and mountain artillery. Another group, clad in Japanese straw sandals to mask their movements, moved around the Russian left flank undetected.
The battle began at 05:15 on 10 July with a direct Japanese frontal attack. This attack faltered by 07:00 due to strong artillery fire from the Russian positions; however, by 08:00, the Russians found themselves all but encircled by the Japanese flanking attack. By 10:00, the Russians were in full retreat towards Hsimucheng (modern Ximu, Liaodong Province, China).
The Japanese moved in to occupy Motien Pass on 13 July. Casualties on both sides were relatively light, and later commentators have speculated extensively on why General Keller (otherwise known to be competent) abandoned such a strategic and easily defendable location with so little resistance. Keller, who perished due to shrapnel wounds from Japanese artillery in an ill-fated counterattack to retake Motien Pass, left no notes.

This week opened the HABITAR exhibition at LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industria as part of their Mediatica Expendida, a space dedicated to new forms of distribution and access to art. I had the please to contribute to this project as conceptual advisor collaborating with curator José Luis de Vicente to define a walk through emerging ideas, solutions, languages that define a new urban landscape. This walk showcases the creative process of artists, designers, engineers, hybrid researchers that now jostle with the practices of architects and city planners.
LABoral proved to provide the best support for an interdisciplinary forum for dialogue that foster this new urban framework. As described by Benjamin Weil, Chief Curator at LABoral: “The presentation of projects functions as a Demo, as a 3D documentary, and at times as a more classical exhibition. The experience of data is core to the curatorial premise, as a mean to reflect upon the notion of exhibition space“. The spatial designers Longo + Roldán proved particularly good at that game.
The journey into HABITAR starts with the account of the city as a built space that is increasingly being replaced by that of a set of dynamic processes and human flows superimposed onto its physical infrastructure. As architects move away from working with plans and towards working increasingly with words and narrative, their output is measured in terms of ideas more than structures. In addition, with physical infrastructures now complemented, governed and even replaced by information systems, new ideas, solutions, languages from different practices have emerged. From the 17 contributions exhibited, José Luis and I wanted to communicate some implications. Here is my perception with an attempt to categorize and link them.
The wireless infrastructure subtly highlighted in Wireless in the World (2009) project fashions sentient and reactive environments through information layers that are integrated into the actual design of physical space. In Wi-Fi Structures and People Shapes (2009), the analyses of how the fluctuations of wireless signals can be mapped onto the informal use of space. The sketches reveal how users interact with the wireless space and elements like furniture that were provided for them as part of the investigation. These new forms of dwelling the space governed by ubiquitous computing and hyper-connectivity also produce counter-reactions with emerging defensive skills and solutions. Hacking public space therefore becomes an integral part of the way it is being used and is therefore mapped out. The Sentient City Survival Kit (2010) does a great job in raising the awareness of the implications for privacy, autonomy, trust and serendipity in this highly observant, ever-more efficient and over-coded city.
Wi-Fi Structures and People Shapes. Peaks indicate good signal strength; troughs indicate poor signal strength. Image courtesy of cityofsound.
First, the vision of the city as a historical conglomerate of buildings and infrastructure is augmented with dynamic visions of the city that include its information networks, mobile technologies, the increasing mobility of citizens, and the presence of environmental parameters such as air quality, noise levels and stress factors. The exhibition features several of MIT SENSEable City Lab’s pioneer works in the domains of space definition. Locutorio Colón (2005-2006) and Time Out of Place (2007), are examples form the worlds of designers and artists to captured and rendered mobilities with local and global relationships. These works reveal the necessity to further push the boundaries in the use of aesthetics as part of a collaborative research process Visualizing Lisbon’s Traffic (2010) (as part of the MIT Portugal research program) and engage on key issues such as In the Air (2008-2010).
Besides grasping and beautifying urban dynamics, projects aimed highlighting the multiple facets of one urban reality. For instance the researchers at MIT SENSEable City Lab developed prototypes to understand the “removal-chain” as the industry does for the “supply-chain”. Similarly, the Near Future Laboratory, shipped to Gijon their apparatus for capturing other points of view. This 24 foot pole was used in an experiment to visually describe time, movement, pace, scales of speed and degrees of slowness of flows in urban spaces. What strikes in these works is the diversity of angles of approaches of technological initiatives that relate to the urban life. The exhibition features the processes project conceived to encourage the creation, development and collaboration with an impact on the city. UrbanLabs “based on the philosophy and collaborative methods of free software, it brings together –on-site and online– a range of citizens, entrepreneurs and creative agents who are working on solutions and digital services in the field of communication, mobility, decision taking, geo-localisation, leisure, sustainability, cooperation and city planning“. Also from Spain, the BCNoids (2008-2010) project that reveals Barcelona from its Bicing system was developed by architecture students as part of the Visualizar workshop series at Media-Lab Prado.

These new angles of approach at the crossroads of geography, sociology, design, art and grassroots initiatives tend to redefine the way we can envision the city, its dynamics, its buildings and spaces. They try to take into account the new needs and preoccupations of today’s heterogeneous citizenship that share a common space and for Benjamin Weil to wonder “it is possible that the various experiments featured in Habitar demonstrate the limit of the modernist utopia“. The practice of architecture has been exploring new terrains such as investigating more uses or options to existing building’s design as featured in the Mutant Bridges (2010) project. Meteorological Architecture (2010) sets another goal of architecture to look for the balance with climate and its protection and suggests the possibility for for climate to become the resources and tools of architecture. Based on digital design and new technologies for customized fabrication, Fab Lab Solar House (2009-2010) is the first completely self-sufficient solar house in Barcelona.

Why do I blog: Contributing as advisor and curating some aspects of the exhibition was a worthwhile experience to further grasp the role of architecture at the time of urban informatics. The HABITAR catalog includes 8 essays from the curator José Luis and I are particularly eager to share online. The contributors include Philippe Rahm, Benjamin Weil, Molly Wright Steenson, Bryan Boyer, Usman Haque, Anne Galloway, Nicolas Nova and José Pérez de Lama. More on that later….

Horsham Motorcycle Club president Kenny Watts said the club was once again looking forward to hosting the AJMX after successfully accommodating the event in 2013.
“Back in 2013, we created the format that has run over the past couple of years at the Australian Junior Motocross Championship, and we think we can still improve that a little bit more,” Watts said.
The announcement of the 2017 AJMX makes it a double coup for the Horsham Motorcycle Club, which is also set to host the FIM World Junior Motocross Championship (WJMX) at Dooen Recreational Reserve in 2018.
Watts said he expected the 2017 AJMX to provide the perfect lead in for competitors heading into club’s centennial celebrations in 2018.
“We’re hoping that we can actually raise the profile of the Australian junior titles by being the club that is hosting the World Junior Motocross Championship in 2018, with the likelihood that we can attract international junior riders to come to an Australian title,” Watts said.
Watts said that with significant advancements made to facilities in previous years the club would be in a great position to host a world-class event.
“The current format that the club is run in started in 2002 with the first MX Nationals event, and the club had a major upgrade of its facilities and since then it has just gone from strength-to strength,” he said.
“We’re doing a lot of work with the state government to improve our infrastructure at the venue to be one of the major facilities in Australia for motocross.
Economic and Business Development Manager for the Horsham Rural City Council Colin Kemp said the local community was looking forward to reaping the same rewards the AJMX brought to the region last time around.
“The Horsham Motorcycle Club and the broader community appreciated the benefits from the Australian Junior Motocross Championship when they ran it in 2013, which were quite significant,” Kemp said.
“There was approximately 450 participants with 2000 visitors to the town for up to nine days, so it is quite significant.

PURPOSE: Hypermethylation of the CpG island of p16(INK4a) occurs in a significant proportion of colorectal cancer (CRC). We aimed to investigate its predictive role in CRC patients treated with 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan (FOLFIRI), and cetuximab. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pyrosequencing was used to identify KRAS mutation and hypermethylation of 6 CpG island loci (p16, p14, MINT1, MINT2, MINT31, and hMLH1) in DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens. Logistic regression and Cox regression were performed for analysis of the relation between methylation status of CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) markers including p16 and clinical outcome. RESULTS: Hypermethylation of the p16 gene was detected in 14 of 49 patients (28.6%) and showed significant association with KRAS mutation (Fisher exact, p=0.01) and CIMP positivity (Fisher exact, p=0.002). Patients with p16-unmethylated tumors had significantly longer time to progression (TTP; median, 9.0 months vs. 3.5 months; log-rank, p=0.001) and overall survival (median, 44.9 months vs. 16.4 months; log-rank, p=0.008) than those with p16-methylated tumors. Patients with both KRAS and p16 aberrancy (n=6) had markedly shortened TTP (median, 2.8 months) compared to those with either KRAS or p16 aberrancy (n=11; median, 8.6 months; p=0.021) or those with neither (n=32; median, 9.0 months; p < 0.0001). In multivariate analysis, KRAS mutation and p16 methylation showed independent association with shorter TTP (KRAS mutation: hazard ratio [HR], 3.21; p=0.017; p16 methylation: HR, 2.97; p=0.027). CONCLUSION: Hypermethylation of p16 was predictive of clinical outcome in metastatic CRC patients treated with cetuximab and FOLFIRI, irrespective of KRAS mutation.

I have been really good lately and have stayed away from sweets, cakes and all junk food. So has my husband, but he had his PT test today and passed, so to celebrate, I decided to make a dessert for after dinner.
I don't do this very often, actually, when I do make any kind of desserts it is during the weekend.
But, I am in the mood for cake, and not a boxed cake or just any kind of cake. I was in the mood for a good old Portuguese cake with a nice egg cream in the center. Creme de Ovos (egg cream/custard) is one of my favorite things on earth, but I never make it, it's been many years.
Today seemed like the perfect time, so here it is....a nice simple cake with a layer of egg custard in the middle and poured over the top, sprinkled with some powdered sugar and you have a divine dessert that your family will love.
First make the egg cream. Add the water and sugar to a saucepan and boil for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the egg yolks to a bowl and stir well. Pour the sugar water mixture into the bowl, a little at a time and mixing constantly. Pour the whole mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a cake pan. In a medium bowl, beat the sugar with the butter, next add in the eggs one at a time beating well after each. Add in the milk, alternating with the flour, lastly, add the baking powder and mix everything well. Pour into the cake pan and bake for 40 minutes.
Use a toothpick to see if the cake is done. Remove from the oven and invert the cake onto a plate. Let cool completely.
Cut the cake in half, spread about 1/4 of the egg cream on one of the halves, top with the other half, then smear the rest of the egg cream over the top. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon, if you wish.
My grandma used make this bolo all the time. Loved it as a kid. Haven't had it in ages, I should give it a try. Thanks!
Oh Sandra, that looks so good !

My aim is to help you achieve as many goals as possible while putting you in the strongest financial position to move forward. I'll be your strongest advocate, but I'll also be blunt and realistic about what can and cannot be accomplished.

This Mitsubishi Evo Lancer was one of the very first imports in Victoria. Owned by a very focused, commit and passionate guy around. Phillip Yip.
Phillip Yip first came to us to have the car resprayed as he wanted some of the sponsorship decals off this iconic car. We resprayed and added pin striping to the sides to make the car look slimline and cleaner.
We later learned that our state of the art paint would withstand a fire that flashed through the body. There was only minimal heat bubbles on the bumper bar. Amazing.
If you have a passion for car’s sign up to YIP”S Youtube page.
This is the aftermath of the fire damage. As you can see our paintwork held up pretty well.

It wasn’t a game with any real significance, but it’s one Justin McChesney will always remember.
The six-foot-ten University of British Columbia (UBC) recruit from Prince Rupert made his university debut for the basketball team on Thursday night, even if it was just an exhibition game.
“To play against a team on the UBC Thunderbirds was a pretty good experience. I’m excited for the rest of the season,” he said after the game.
McChesney’s team may have lost the game 89-71 to the NCAA Charlotte 49ers, but in their first game together, there was a lot they can take away from it.
Coming off the bench, the pride of Charles Hays Secondary School scored seven points, including knocking down a three-pointer. He also registered a couple personal fouls, one block and one assist.
There is lots to work on, the 18-year-old quickly clarified.
Pitted against an athletic 49ers team, the Thunderbirds were worn out by their short bench. UBC only dressed eight players due to injuries and some absent team members, as opposed to the 15 players Charlotte rolled out.
Still, UBC led by a basket into the second quarter in front of 652 fans in War Memorial Gym at UBC. But it wouldn’t last long and the Thunderbirds trailed the rest of the game.
Even McChesney’s coach shared his excitement for the former high school star on Twitter.
“Tough one for the undermanned birds but great sign for the future,” UBC coach Kevin Hanson posted on his Twitter account directed to McChesney.
The game was part of a one-week tour of Canada by the 49ers to play several universities in Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island.
Charlotte guard, Braxton Ogbueze, who is entering his fourth year of collegiate basketball, led the game with 23 points. He credited the Thunderbirds for making things tough on them.
The actual season doesn’t start for the Thunderbirds until Oct. 14, when they take on Lethbridge, but McChesney is ready.
“I look forward to the rest of the games,” he said.

When I heard last week that the Motorola branding was going to be shelved and replaced by “Moto by Lenovo”, like many others online, I felt a tinge of sadness as if another great tech brand had fallen by the wayside. In the new phone market dominated by Apple, Samsung and LG, formerly great brands such as Nokia and HTC are in deep trouble, and Motorola seems to be joining them.
Motorola was important in bringing cellular phones to the masses, with their DynaTAC being the first commercially available portable cellular phone, the StarTAC being the first flip-phone and the ever-so-popular Razr with excellent sensitivity. Motorola products generally had good reputations and often premium price-tags. I never had the fortune of owning a Motorola device first-hand, but I’d often see others carrying them around.
Instead, I knew Motorola more from a radio aspect, as they were very much involved in the NSW GRN trunked radio system, which ran on Motorola Smartnet technology, before being upgraded to P25. You would see the XTS series radios being carried around by front-line public servants all the time. I was also aware of them from their paging equipment.
I didn’t exactly understand what a “pager” was. After staring at him bemused, he turned the unit and showed me the screen where a bunch of letters appeared. He explained to me that this was a message that had been delivered to him asking him to call someone.
At the time, being roughly seven years of age, I was completely taken aback. At the time, I was just mastering the art of writing a letter and posting it by snail-mail. Home internet access was not popular, and e-mail services were not quite as ubiquitous as they are today. Mobile phones existed, although analog was most popular and early digital models had no SMS ability. You could call someone, but that takes time, they need to answer, and it comes with its own costs. The idea that a text message could be delivered instantaneously without anyone visibly doing something felt so futuristic to me at the time.
That being said, paging was very much something which was mainly viewed as a “poor man’s cellular service,” and mainly popular with business-people. Eventually, my Mum and Dad both got mobile phones, and we never even considered nor owned a pager ourselves. As a result, the whole “paging thing” remained somewhat intriguing to me.
It wasn’t until about 2007 when I first bought a radio scanner that I rediscovered paging after stumbling upon several POCSAG, MOBITEX and a single FLEX carrier on the air. Thanks to software such as PDW and multimon-ng, it’s possible to decode many paging formats, provided a good enough signal and you have a radio that provides unfiltered audio or is modified to do so, also known as a discriminator tap. More variable results can be had with RTL-SDR based reception. Today, many of the companies offering paging services have shut down, and there is no longer any FLEX in Sydney, and fewer POCSAG carriers than before.
Then, in about 2009 when I got into ham radio, I visited the Wyong Hamfest. While walking around, I came across a desk piled with Motorola Advisor pagers. I stared at them almost transfixed as they were the exact same unit my teacher had worn over a decade earlier. I couldn’t resist buying a pair of units for some pocket change. I didn’t have any firm ideas what to do with them at the time, and I kept them for tinkering later. At least, I finally got my hands on the elusive black box.
Paging technology has developed over the years. Some of the earliest commercially successful paging technologies were based on tones, such as the two-tone sequential paging system. This allows for remote receivers to be activated (beep, control a connected device) based on two tones of at least a certain duration. It was relatively inflexible, and can be likened to a selcall type system. Proprietary variants which allowed for more sophisticated abilities did not achieve widespread usage.
In the quest for more flexibility and speed, more sophisticated digital data based systems were used. One of the earlier systems is Motorola’s Golay Sequential Coding. This system incorporated error correction, battery saver modes, group calling, alphanumeric messaging and combination tone and voice on the same channel. It appears that the system uses a hybrid mix of 300/600bps for parts of the transmission. At this time, no Golay transmissions are on the air in Sydney, and indeed, it seems that they are mostly or completely phased out world-wide.
Around the same time (1970’s), the British Post-Office produced a more open standard known as POCSAG (Post-Office Code Standardization Advisory Group). This standard had very similar abilities, implemented differently, and started with 512bps, which was later increased to 1200bps “super-POCSAG” and again to 2400bps. Despite the age of this standard, it was recognized by the ITU and well supported by many vendors, and as a result, it is still heard on the air today. In fact, in Sydney, it is common to hear 512bps as it is used by most hospitals, and 512/1200bps mixed operation used by a commercial operation (Vodafone Messaging).
Europeans may have been in contact with ERMES in the early-mid 1990s, a rival standard intended to be an improvement over POCSAG. It uses 4-level modulation at 6250bps. Sadly, ERMES only had limited traction outside of France, and was never deployed in Australia as far as I know. It is likely still operational in Europe at this time.
A more sophisticated technology also bought to the market by Motorola in the late 1990’s, named FLEX which offered much faster rates than POCSAG (1600bps, 3200bps and 6400bps) by using 4-level modulation, while also retaining 2-level modulation modes to allow for older transmitters to be transitioned over as network planning and coverage testing dictates. This offered a different time-slot based system rather than the asynchronous POCSAG, and had a characteristic “cadence” to the signal on air. Flex is still used currently, and is fairly popular overseas where it can be identified by a slinky-like logo on the pager, but is not in operation in the Sydney area from what I can tell. A later version named ReFLEX also offers a return channel for two-way paging but never became too popular.
Paging transmissions do not operate on cellular-like principles. They, with the exception of two-way paging which never really operated in Australia to my knowledge, are one-way transmissions from transmitter to receiver. These transmissions are unacknowledged, and so important messages may need to be sent several times to be sure of reception. The transmissions also generally take place on one frequency as most pager receivers are fixed or single frequency units, so wide area coverage depends on having multiple transmitters synchronized and sending the same signals across the coverage area. A single page can thus tie up resources across a wide area of linked transmitters, and the slow bit-rate of transmission can cause transmission delays. The pages are generally sent unencrypted, making sending private information unadvisable. However, such technology can really shine when sending messages to multiple receivers simultaneously, as having numerous pagers listen for the same directed transmission does not increase airtime demands. All pagers are identified by a number, which is often programmable. This is loosely known as a Capcode or a RICcode. Only transmissions matching the programmed code in the pager, provided it is tuned to the frequency, are received, decoded and displayed for the user. Most paging protocols are designed for text and uses a restricted character-set to improve speeds, although some are “transparent” and capable of passing pure binary data.
As a result, it’s quite likely to hear a pager signal on the air – at least the Sydney West Area Health Service and Vodafone Huchison Australia frequencies. Radio amateurs will probably know all about this, as pager transmitters are generally fairly high powered and make reception of 2m amateur satellites challenging as it can cause receiver desensitization requiring front end filters to overcome.
Most of the paging is slowly going away, as the internet and very affordable smartphone and mobile based communications make them less popular and overcome the limitations of paging systems. Instead, paging is now often relegated to supporting legacy alert systems and for machine-to-machine uses as an alternative to using 3G/4G services.
For those interested in pagers, a highly recommended resource is Brad Dye’s Paging Information Resource, where many articles of historical interest are archived for viewing.
The two units I purchased appear to both have been formerly issued by Telecom Australia (later known as Telstra). The top unit retains its original Motorola Advisor branding, whereas the lower unit is re-branded. Both seem to be in excellent condition, considering the age. A manual for the unit is still available online.
The front side shows the read (green), function (red) buttons along with directional keys.
My units come complete with their original Motorola branded belt-clip holster, which allows for the pager to slide out. There is a slot in the holster for the internal barcode to show through for inventory control purposes.
The top side has the grille for the alert beeper, a red plastic prism for the LED alert light and an ivory coloured power button. A metal post is also provided for attaching a lanyard to.
The bottom side doesn’t look particularly special, but its importance will be shown in the next part.
The left side houses three holes, which are the programming contacts. The pads are deeply recessed.
The rear of the unit looks a little dirty, but according to the label, the original frequency was 148.0375Mhz. This was likely Telstra’s own frequency, but today, is only used by DoD and one other, both outside of NSW.
The unit itself requires one AAA battery and can run for weeks from it. Inserting the battery causes the pager to start up and beep to confirm it is operating. The battery cover slides in over a rail and is latched into place to make sure it isn’t lost. The battery holder itself features gold-plated terminals, all signs of very sturdy design.
Remember that blank panel at the bottom? Well it holds a secret. As it turns out, the sturdy feeling unit can be taken apart with just a good fingernail. Lift the panel at the lanyard end and slide across until it releases and falls out.
The two halves of the shell come apart with fingernail pressure. The back reveals a blue pressure pad that wedges the main PCB and display into place, another that wedges the radio-board into place and a vibration motor for the silent alert feature.
The other half contains the main guts of the pager.
The board closest to us with the Week 29 of 1993 date on it is the radio board. This module is removable and exchangeable and sets the frequency of the pagers’ operation. This board is a 4051 and is highly sought after by radio amateurs as it covers the 2m band at high sensitivity when re-crystalled appropriately.
The board has an antenna (left) which is a ferrite rod with a band on it, and a few variable inductors, a variable cap, and some filters. The bottom crystal, shrouded in blue silicone rubber, is the first IF crystal.
The actual frequency is 65.06875 (likely), but it is also marked with the actual pager channel frequency, in this case 148.0375Mhz. A slight adjustment to frequency can be had by turning the variable inductor slugs.
The other crystal can has the second IF frequency of 17.9Mhz. Because of the multiplier, the actual reception frequency is the first crystal * 2 + 17.9Mhz.
The base board can be seen to have several ceramic-packaged ICs, a backlight inverter transformer, and a sharp LCD controller amongst other things.
The LCD is soldered into place, and comes out with the PCB. The front buttons are like remote-control style buttons with elastomer style pads.
There is also a small back-up battery underneath the blue rubber cover, and this provides battery back-up for messages (probably stored in SRAM) and clock during a short battery change.
Further hardware modification for amateur radio usage is documented in this PDF by Philip N. Anderson, W0XI and serves as a very useful reference for modification and service. Specifically, details on the RF board part numbers, IF and multiplier values needed for custom crystals are provided.
Programming of the Motorola Advisor requires Motorola-specific software, which you should obtain from Motorola. However, as far as I can tell, Motorola no longer support these pagers, and it wouldn’t be cost effective for a tinker to purchase the whole set-up (think several hundreds of dollars). After some trawling, I found that Blackcrawl pages, archived by HackCanada still has the software available and information on the necessary hardware to program the Advisor.
The three pin interface is basically a TTL-level serial connection, and the software talks to the pager to read/write its internal configuration that way. Figuring that this was the case, the lazy part of me thought, why not try a VM and interface the serial to a USB-serial TTL adapter?
The reason for that became clear straight-away. It seems to require precise timing and hardware register access. While the commands were being sent out to the TTL adapter, and the response lit the RX light indicating it was received, the app “pretended” not to receive anything when running in the VM. A more heavy duty solution (namely, a real computer was required).
In order to do this with the minimum pain, I took the .vmdk file and, using Winimage, converted it to a VFAT style image with a boot sector and wrote that straight to a USB key. I took an old AMD Sempron 3000+ system (Socket 754) with a Gigabyte K8MV800M motherboard with BIOS USB compatibility emulation to boot straight into the USB key. That worked, so I didn’t need to rummage for an IDE hard drive and a floppy drive and do the installation the old way.
The second part was to get the level conversion done – RS232 ports put out “dangerous” voltages for the pager, so luckily, I had a cheap MAX232-based level converter board from eBay several years back.
It was wired up so that Vcc was left to a pin, which I connected to 5v from a USB port with return through the serial port ground. RXD, TXD and GND was connected to three pins on a header that was splayed to be poked through the ports on the pager and held in place to make contact. In the end, this was enough to read and program the pager.
We can see that the capcode of that pager was 0511784 and was configured for 512 bps service. The Advisor appears to be supportive of up to 1200bps. The rules which need to be followed in order to make proper usage of the multiple capcode ability are shown in Brad Dye’s pages. No maildrop features were programmed (used for informational services received without alert and displayed on screen – think of this like a weather widget, or a stock price widget but received on a pager over the air).
Four pages of configurability are available. Interestingly, the out of range indicator is disabled meaning that the user has no idea whether the pager is getting a signal or not. This probably is done so as to make the user feel more at-ease with the pager and prevent lack of coverage complaints – you don’t know when you’ve missed a page until someone complains.
The text prompts have been customized as well, and it seems that the unit is capable of over-the-air programming which is pretty advanced for the time. Data inversion is probably needed where the FSK polarity is inverted. Synthesizer option is available, but turning it on with a crystal-locked RF board doesn’t magically turn your pager into a synthesized unit.
Indeed, the changes for the prompts are to change the default Motorola Inc. text to Telecom Paging, and Low Cell to Low Battery.
Rather unsurprisingly, after loading up a battery, the unit still works like it was brand new. Of course, the date doesn’t seem Y2K compliant, but it has no problem with accepting 16 for the year.
Pressing and holding the red function button turns on the EL backlight, which is nice and even with a soft glow and a whine from the inverter.
Pressing the function button brings up the icon-based menu. No fancy text here at all. Because there are no messages in memory, the icons to the right of the home position are missing. The first option lets you set the alert tones.
The alert tones are chosen by icons which seem rather cryptic, but indicate for each mode what sort of beeping/melody/mute options are used for alerting. The last option is probably for maildrop, as I had enabled it in the programming just for fun.
The second screen across lets you set the time. Nothing fancy here, just use the arrow keys.
The third option across lets you set an alarm. Yes, just one alarm.
When left alone for a few seconds, it reverts into its power saving mode, displaying a little bullseye indicator in the corner to let you know it’s still alive. Pressing any button except the directional arrows allows you to bring the screen back to life. To shut down the unit, you press the power button, then the function button when prompted. Instead, I chose to reprogram this to say goodbye to Motorola.
When people hear of the brand Motorola, they may instinctively think of phones, but Motorola has been much more than that. They have been involved in semiconductors and virtually anything radio. While I never owned a Motorola phone first-hand, the pager definitely intrigued me, and I managed to come across a second hand unit for my fun.
While paging is in a slow and steady decline, these units feel virtually brand new showing just how durable the Motorola product is. It definitely oozes quality. These crystal-locked pagers are a lot of work to modify and get crystals cut for, so I’m probably going to pay (or overpay) for a synthesized pager just for fun.
Despite the collective positive sentiments around the brand, it looks like Lenovo has pushed the button … goodbye Moto. But at least, hopefully your brand will glow on into the future … much like how this unit seems to never die.

Excellent post, Gough. I always wondered about pagers, but I never cared to research. I appreciate the history section. In Australia, were they commonly called also beepers?
Yes indeed, some people called them beepers mainly as earlier units were tone-only pagers, which emitted different tone patterns to signify different paging types (commonly up to four types per capcode). Later units were still called beepers mainly due to their shrill and rather loud alert tones, and featured 7-segment displays with limited length capabilities, commonly called numeric pagers as they could not display text. This Advisor model is considered a fairly late pager, as it had the full alphanumeric text ability with four-line text display – which took advantage of basically all the old and relatively limited technology had to offer. Modern paging services are increasingly doing e-mail to pager style options where a special e-mail address is used to receive alerts to send to pagers to ease integration, rather than having an old dial-in data line, or by placing a call to a pager operator and telling the lady what message to send to which subscriber number. Unfortunately, due to limited speeds, often e-mail to pager services are limited to 200-600 characters of the e-mail split across one to three pager messages. Even at this scale, the 25-message pager memory store on most units wouldn’t be able to store many of these alerts before overwriting the oldest unread message. Duplicate message detection is used to filter out duplicate messages from using up this precious memory – and often more critical messages would be sent several times in a row to give some “time diversity” against fading as you don’t have an acknowledgement from the receiving pager whether it was received or not.
I was also alerted by a friend that in Asian countries, these were also known as BB-Call units, where BB approximates the sound a pager makes, and call refers to the way the pager was often used – namely to tell someone to get themselves to a payphone and ring a number based on the tone they received (e.g. 1 beep – manager, 2 beeps – floor staff, 3 beeps- cleaner etc.).
Thanks for the interesting looks at pagers, never run into any of them myself.
It’s sad that the name Motorola is being phased out of use, when I think of them I think back to the old 68k processors that made such an impact in all the machines they were in. I even programmed one of their embedded chips (M16C) back when I was at uni.
Indeed, I normally think of them from the communications side, but their MCUs and CPUs were really significant, especially in older Apple machines. I remember the old Apple LC II back from my primary school days … I didn’t know it then, but yes, it had a Motorola heart :).
This is pretty awesome – what OS did you use to run the software?
Went with XP in the end… Tried 98SE at first, but that just wouldn’t play happily with the USB > TTL.
Interestingly I had no issues running this as a VM (VMware Fusion) on an iMac.
Thanks for the write up though. Had 4 of these that were about to go in the bin.
Hi Gough, You amaze me, the patience you have to unfold the technicalities of a complicated product. I worked with Motorola for 20 years during this time and some of the technical side was a mystery to me. For you to pick this up later is amazing. I remember the paging transmitters called PURC’s (Programmable Universal Remote Controllers) and some of Motorola’s paging terminals such as the Modem Plus (I think it was called… but can find no reference any longer…maybe 1985)) We also used a large third party controller (2 x cabinets 19 inch rack mount) made by a company called BBL ( I think it stood for Bruce Bob and Loyd the company owners in USA) Sad that Motorola completely dropped the ball with phones I was there when “The Brick” had world wide dominance, and then the first Flip Phone, employees were all given one free (we said it was because they couldn’t sell them..ha) My compliments on your high Educational and recreation achievements it definitely shows in your writings. Another field you may try as I have because I am an Astronomer it was suggested to make a Radio Telescope. After much messing I have two channels running one at 400mhz the other 70mhz tracking noise sources from our amazing universe. Well done Gough and all the best Allen Wallace ZL1AYH… NZ.
Very very useful article. I have been able to connect to the pager using Windows XP and a FTDI232 board.
I have a problem, It is russian pager form company InterPaging (after translating cyrillic on the display) and there is a password i can’t find. Does someone has this information?

You will fall in love with the city all over again!
What is photography to a Mumbaikar if it isn’t about capturing the spirit of the city?
We asked some to share their work and they left us speechless.
Rohit Lotankar: Rohit captures the spirit of a mother and how the city cradles one in her arms by the seashore, exposing us to an ocean of opportunities. Here’s what he has to say about it "कहाँ से पड़ती काँटों की आदत? हमें माँ ने हमेशा अपनी गोद में सुलाया है।"
Manikandan Singaravel: Manikandan captures a different side to the city. Here’s an interesting picture of some fishermen on the beach.
In another photograph, he captures the spirit of a ‘Small Warrior’, telling us that chivalry knows no age.
Is there a better view of the Bandra-Worli Sea-Link? I don’t think so!
Yash captures reflections in the rain!
Another side to the fishermen and women in Mumbai! This is indeed a spectacular photograph.
Himesh captures a splendid photograph of the seagulls by Marine Drive.
“Nightlife is the best in Mumbai! People talk about how crowded Mumbai is. However, it’s the crowd that makes us feel both secured and protected as there's an undefined bond with it! If we ever find trains empty we wonder if everything's okay? In this city, one never feels. That's how comfortable we are with this crowd!

Photo Tantra completely believes in this quote by Dr.Seuss . It is this belief that made us become wedding photographers. We try to create memories for you by staying connected with the moments which matter to you the most and this connection is possible only when someone is invested in you entirely.
In today's age of Google when everything is just a search away, it is not difficult to find out about the person whom we are supposed to photograph. But what is not available on Google search is the person not the persona that he or she really is. We are interested in the person that you are and invested in your wedding like a friend.
Phototantra was started and is headed by us (Vinayak Das and Snigdha Sheel) since early 2009. We are perhaps the first husband and wife photography team in India to start shooting Indian weddings in a photo-journalistic style. We started shooting weddings for the love of photography, travelling, meeting new people, getting to know their culture and food. For us weddings are a great way to learn about society, human behaviour and culture.
We became the first wedding photographers from India whose images were featured in the People magazine (US edition March 2012). Our photo story of The Big Bang Theory star Kunal Nayyar and former Miss India Neha Kapoor's wedding was featured as a multi page photo spread. Our work was subsequently published in the "Who" magazine in Australia. Our photos from the wedding were also showcased in Ellen Degeneres and Conan O'Brien show.
Our work on candid wedding photography has been featured in many magazines and publications including Vogue, Conde Nast, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Marie Claire, Femina, Wedding Vows, Smart Photogrpahy, Indian Express, Bangalore Mirror, Brown Paper Bag, Wedding Sutra, Deccan Chronicle, The Telegraph, Maharani Weddings, South Asian Bride magazine to name a few.
We believe in capturing the memories and moments of your biggest day with love, empathy and understanding of your sensibilities. Whether you're in search of an unobtrusive, candid style, photojournalistic story telling or an alluring portrait in your bridal fineries, we are here to photograph all that which makes you happy on the day of your wedding. Let’s keep it simple, happy and let's make your wedding stress free .
Our photography style and wedding films are a mix of photojournalism, visual story telling and glamour.
From a humble start in 2009, Photo Tantra now is a one stop solution for all your photography, wedding videography requirements no matter how small or how big is the wedding. In 2011 we started an offshoot Alpo Galpo Films which started making wedding films. We are equipped with the latest photographic gear, professional series lenses, light modifiers and a pool of talented photographers and cinematographers who are trained and mentored by us. The entire operations, quality control, deliveries and visual story telling at the editing stage is handled personally by us.

We live in New Delhi with our 3 dogs and 2 kids. As people we love to travel and get excited over just about anything. We both love dogs, our whole family has pledged their organs, We love food, movies, music, books but nothing beats a heartwarming conversation and a good laughter with friends. We love everything that makes up for white picket fences, a fire place and an old dog to cuddle with, good wine and horror movies. Strange combination but that is what makes it fun.
We live in New Delhi with our 2 kids and 3 dogs. One of dogs is blind. As people we both love dogs, love to travel and get excited over just about anything, we love to watch movies, love food, we love engaging in a heart warming conversation and laughter which is why perhaps we are drawn to similar people at weddings and end up making new friends at every shoot.

ExtraCredit, the official blog of the Ohio Department of Education, offers commentary and insight on a wide range of education issues from department experts and guest bloggers from throughout Ohio’s schools and support organizations. We encourage your ideas, feedback and comments to promote a two-way dialogue. See our Comment Policy for more information.
While thinking about celebrating Thanksgiving, it occurred to me that turkey day is a total team sport, filled with pre-game planning in all areas. Besides all the obvious metaphors of cooking and football, I also thought about the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Specifically, I thought about the teamwork it takes to manage the hallmark of the parade...the balloons!
Those balloons are managed by teams of handlers, with the average balloon requiring 90 people and a pilot who walks backward the whole way. There also is a balloon captain who signals to the handlers when they need to change hand positions on the ropes. It is a totally coordinated effort for these balloons to fly straight and not escape into the crowd...or other hazards. Planning and training go on all year — no one just shows up and grabs a rope!
How does this metaphor relate to personalized learning? In my last blog, A Year on Pause, I shared my reflections on personalized learning with regard to my recovery from a serious auto accident. One of my major takeaways from my year was how amazing and essential the team approach was to my progress. If the team approach works so well, why don’t we use it more often in education?
To systematically transform schools into true personalized learning environments, a vision and a plan that includes all areas to support education would be a good place to start. One resource to help districts is the Future Ready Framework. Using the Future Ready Framework for visioning and planning is a great way to look at all the different elements that support education in your district. Ohio is supporting this free resource for districts looking for a way to plan and implement personalized learning. This national initiative was designed to have state support and, most importantly, local impact.
When high-quality teaching is infused with the dynamic use of technology, personalized student learning becomes possible. The Future Ready Framework is a road map that districts can use to successfully implement personalized, digital learning. The framework assists districts in planning how to prepare students for success in college, careers and citizenship. Following this road map requires systemic changes. With personalized student learning at its core, the framework helps districts align each of the seven key categories, called Gears, to ensure a successful conversion to digital learning.
The outside ring of the framework emphasizes the need for collaborative leadership. It also displays a continuous cycle of district visioning, planning, implementation and assessment. Once a district is prepared in each gear, district leaders can be confident they are ready for a highly successful implementation phase that leads to innovation empowered by digital learning.
Using this resource starts with a district leadership team doing an assessment to find out where the district stands in each gear. After this initial district assessment, leaders can determine the district’s digital readiness in each gear. Then, they can dive deeper into a gear they may want to develop. Ohio will be kicking off its official training for using the framework at the annual Ohio Educational Technology Conference. There will be sessions for district leaders, individual programs and specific school personnel roles. In addition to the district framework, there are frameworks based on roles to help support the work, including frameworks for district leaders, principals, technology leaders, coaches and librarians. You can find more information here.
If you are ready to use this framework or would like more information, you can start on the Department’s Future Ready site.
In future blogs, I will discuss the individual gears and programs. If you already are using this resource for planning, let me know. I will share your achievements to help other Ohio districts build their success. Use #FutureReadyOH to stay up to date with the Future Ready work around Ohio.
I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving — no matter how you choose to personalize and celebrate it. Since all my family cannot be together on the official day, we have created our own unique celebration the weekend before in a feast we call Molto Grazie. It does take serious planning and a team effort, but it is always worth it.

Curiouser and Curiouser: How Well Are You Using Your Data?
We should all strive to use curiosity and inquiry to propel our work forward. Imagine for a moment that I shared with you the exact piece of information you need to improve something. Imagine I cup this in my hands, I respectfully bow and gently place the knowledge in your hands.
To change ourselves in such a way that we, in turn, improve others, most of us would start with some data. We probably would invest the most time looking at four types of data: achievement or student performance, perception, program and demographic.
However, the question remains — are we using that data well?
When I talk about data I mean more than just the “big” data, like the report card. Data use has the greatest impact when building and teacher teams use data to look at student performance and adult instructional practices and when data use is ongoing.
In Move Your Numbers, the conversations that teams had about data moved from just looking at the data to deeper discussions. They began to analyze the quality of adult practices and eventually organized data in a more meaningful manner that supported the district. The district became a learning organization with the ability to continuously grow and improve.
Data helps us ground our strategic processes and plans around a common set of goals. These goals are based on evidence from data rather than a feeling based on a single experience.
The responsibility to use data well applies to the entire education system, including the state, regional support systems, communities, districts and buildings. At the state level, we are thinking about how our individual offices can better share our data and merge our approaches to supporting schools. As a result, the Department is updating several systems and tools. The biggest effort currently underway is the consolidation of a needs assessment tool (the Decision Framework), a district and building planning tool, a budget tool and an implementation tool. This will help districts and buildings accurately track progress as they implement specific plans and strategies.
Additionally, we are intentionally aligning the work of regional support systems. This includes creating shared tools for regional providers and a consistent process to follow. Our consistent process is the Ohio Improvement Process (OIP). The OIP is designed to establish a common, shared leadership system throughout a district and in buildings and teacher-based teams. It involves the use of continuous communication and good decision-making. The OIP supports strategies that improve teacher effectiveness.
The systems of support that I have been referencing include regional state support teams and educational service centers. Educational service centers provide a combination of services to districts and schools to build skills and empower teachers to use instructional strategies that lead to student growth. This includes systems structure around the OIP process, instructional support and student supports. State support teams provide support to districts and schools to engage in inclusive continuous and sustainable improvement to meet IDEA State Performance Plan performance indicators and the state plan for the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
This guide was developed at the University of Dayton School of Education and Allied Professions Grant Center by Dr. Deborah Telfer, with support from Allison Glasgow. The Moving Your Numbers Advisory Work Group also provided input on the guide.
Improvement work takes effort and changes in adult perceptions, behavior and beliefs. I believe you have the effort and energy to focus on adult change, as we all move forward to continuously improve.

Editor’s note: In honor of Veterans Day and the inaugural Purple Star Awards, we invited Jodi Singleton, a history teacher at Caldwell High School, a Purple Star school, to reflect on the meaning of Veterans Day. Purple Star schools demonstrate a commitment to supporting students and families connected to our nation’s military. On behalf of the Ohio Department of Education, we thank all veterans and current service members who sacrifice so much to protect our freedoms.
How can we best engage students in the history classroom? How can we encourage them with the enthusiasm and intrinsic desire to learn the truth of our past? The answer lies in those around us...the one you might see in the grocery line ahead of you, the one patiently waiting his turn at the doctor, the one who proudly salutes as the flag is presented at the local football game or the one who sits quietly at the Veterans Day assembly with tears in his eyes, pride in his heart and memories that won’t fade. The answer to the original question is simple...teach our students to talk to our veterans. These men and women who have made sacrifices unknown to many of us are the true primary sources that our students need to know.
As educators, we often find ourselves studying new classroom strategies, taking part in workshops and conferences, and continuing our education. While all of this is beneficial, the lessons I have learned from those who have served have proven to completely intrigue and captivate my students. When discussing Vietnam — and when I tell students about the bounty that was offered to the North Vietnamese for my stepfather’s life — you can hear a pin drop in my classroom. As we talk about his bravery and his willingness to serve others on the field with injuries before worrying about himself, the students yearn for more. They realize the sacrifices he made and understand the camaraderie of the military and each service member’s duty to protect one another. He truly deserved his Navy Commendation Medal.
Yet the stories do not stop there. Two years ago, a family member sent recovered letters to my mother that my grandfather wrote during his service in World War II. While he has passed, and I greatly miss him, I hold those letters close, sharing excerpts with the students, yet longing to hear the words from him personally. I embrace his words, study his handwriting and imagine the emotion he felt. I have had others in my family serve as well, and I continue to listen as they find themselves ready and willing to share. These stories are priceless. Someday, when the veterans of past wars are gone, we will find ourselves yearning for deeper understanding. The raw emotion, the stories of heroism, the sacrifices of tours of duty, active service and combat will all be left behind as we rely on textbooks to teach our students.
Where does this leave us? The mission is laid out before us. Seek out veterans, thank them for their service and invite them into your schools. Teach your students to investigate the living history before them. The legacy our veterans leave with us is the reason for our freedoms. It is for those who have served and are currently serving that we continue to work with military families in our schools and to find ways to honor veterans.
It is with great honor that Caldwell High School earned a 2017 Purple Star Award. Through the communications of our guidance counselor, military families can stay connected, have smoother transitions and know that their students have the best care. Even schools such as ours that have very few families from this background can accept the challenge set before them to strive for excellence.
Servicemen, servicewomen and veterans of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Airforce, National Guard and Coast Guard...thank you for your service!

I am not a teacher by profession, but I try my hardest to be a good one. I have great admiration for what classroom teachers do every single day across the world. Whether it was a part of previous positions I’ve had or currently in public health — teaching has always been an integral part of my work. In addition to teaching, I’ve had the opportunity to work with youth on prevention education curriculums ranging from tobacco to communicable disease. None have been as challenging as attempting to address the opioid epidemic.
I don’t claim to have all the answers to solve the opioid epidemic across this country, but I wish I did. It has torn apart families, crumbled portions of our workforce and completely rocked the medical community. This epidemic has no road map. There is no established, evidence-based practice that says if you do “x,” then you will receive “y” as a positive result.
As a public health professional, I try to think of ways to avoid adverse health outcomes. While this sounds oversimplified, prevention is the backbone of public health. Working for the Cincinnati Health Department, I am a witness to the constantly moving pieces of this epidemic — from endless overdose data, to potential policy changes, to Quick Response Teams and resource identification.
Working from different angles on this epidemic, I felt more could be done on the prevention side. I was fortunate to find an organization willing to fund a prevention initiative. My project is entitled Not Even Once. Not Even Once aims to implement the HOPE (Health and Opioid Prevention Education) curriculum at Oyler School. Oyler was strategically selected as a pilot site for HOPE due to the high number of overdoses in the surrounding neighborhood. Prevention curriculums like HOPE are key — key to saving lives, saving resources and most important, preventing youth from ever starting to abuse drugs.
What makes HOPE different is that it is the opposite of most anti-drug programs. It is pro-youth empowerment; pro-good decision-making; pro-self-respect. Kids are told, “No,” enough. This curriculum puts them in the driver’s seat of their own lives. It gives them the tools to use throughout their lives to build resiliency, self-respect and community awareness. It goes beyond basic knowledge, skills, behaviors and attitudes and turns it into functional health knowledge.
Understanding the differences between over-the-counter and prescription medicines.
I started teaching HOPE in June 2017 for ages 9-13 and will continue through December. From the moment the project began, I was astounded by the openness of the kids and their profound awareness of this epidemic right on their doorstep. One night a few weeks into class, my phone rang — it was a parent of a child in class, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Again, I was taken aback by her honesty. She stressed how difficult it is as a parent to talk to her children about what’s going on 15 feet from their doorstep. Instead, she tells her kids to “always stay inside” instead of playing at the park across the street.
Some people have told me that kids in certain drug-ridden parts of town are “lost causes.” I vehemently disagree with this, especially with my kids. Because they have HOPE. I believe in the village. I believe we will overcome this epidemic one day, with people who have rallied together to empower others to fully utilize talents to create a society of empathy.
This project would not be possible without the generosity of the Carol Ann & Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation, People’s Liberty and especially Dr. Kevin Lorson, Ohio Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance president and professor and Physical Education program director at Wright State University. I am eternally grateful that he was willing to take a chance on me to implement HOPE.

Off to a great start is the theme the Ohio Department of Education is promoting for schools and students throughout Ohio. To prevent and address bullying behavior, we are promoting four strategies that create a positive school climate and a safe and supportive teaching and learning environment in Ohio schools. Promoting a positive school climate, along with implementing bullying prevention practices will help staff members, students and families be off to a great start this school year.
The first strategy is for every district and school to have an Anti-Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying policy that outlines how schools identify bullying behavior. An active anti-harassment, intimidation and bullying policy ensures all staff members, students and parents know how bullying behavior is defined and addressed in your school. School staff members should be trained to respond to bullying behavior when it occurs.
Second, school staff members should be trained to recognize and respond to bullying behavior. The Department requires educators to take Safety and Violence Prevention training every five years. This training gives school staff members skills to recognize, reach out and refer potential problems before they escalate. The Safety and Violence Prevention Curriculum reminds school professionals of the important role they play in the early identification of critical issues affecting students. It also attempts to raise school staff members’ awareness of the warning signs for mental, emotional and behavioral problems among students and advises educators on ways to reach out to these students and refer them to appropriate assistance. Through identifying student needs and providing appropriate interventions, educators can ensure that all students have an equal opportunity to succeed at school.
The third strategy to support your school community is to implement a schoolwide safety plan. Using the PBIS framework and schoolwide safety strategies, all school employees, social workers and mental health partners can create a culture of respect to prevent bullying behavior. Positive school climate and bullying prevention practices are the product of a school’s attention to fostering trust and safety; promoting a supportive academic, disciplinary, and physical environment; and encouraging and maintaining respectful and caring relationships throughout the school. Feeling safe and supported at school is fundamental to success for staff and students.
Finally, to address the individual needs of students, we recommend the development and implementation of a Student Action Plan. Bullying behavior undermines a student’s sense of security and distracts from a student’s ability to be successful in school. A Student Action Plan provides students involved in bullying behavior (either the target or perpetrator) with supports before, during and after the school day, as well as interventions for identified behavior needs.
October is Bullying Prevention Awareness Month, prepare to be off to a great start by promoting a positive school climate and bullying prevention practices this school year. This will promote healthy relationships, school safety, increased school attendance and greater academic achievement. October is a good time for administrators and staff to discuss how they can update their anti-bullying policies and practices to make them even more effective. Explore the tools available here, including a nine-minute video, the Department’s Model Anti-Bullying Policy and a guidance document that outlines everyone’s role in addressing student incidents and strategies for developing individual Student Action Plans.

That means the program's version 2.3 is in a package that is called "whatever", and this is the second version of the package (hence the -2) offered by the packager. It is intended for a 32 bit Intel 386 (or better) system.
Notice that's almost the same as the RedHat style, except the suffix is deb.
Almost all Linux distributions currently in use are descended from either RedHat or Debian.
Slackware Linux uses its own package system, but I've not used Slackware since 1997, and don't have anything to say about it.
All of the major Linux distributions have tried to make it easier and easier to 1) get all the packages you need and 2) install the pre-requisites and 3) stop you from removing something that is required for something else. The "basic program" that administers the package system is a command line tool, such as "rpm" on RedHat or "dpkg" on Debian, and then layered "on top" of that we have the "yum" program on RedHat and "apt-get" on Debian systems. "yum" and "apt-get" are network aware and if one asks to install a package, they attempt to find out what else might be needed and download that at the same time.
When I started this, I had more energy than I do now. I should come back with a more comprehensive list of rpm and dpkg command options. They are quite powerful.
The term "dependency hell" refers to the difficulty of installing a package that somebody else builds against their system when one's system is slightly different. When programs are compiled, they use "shared libraries" and those libraries may be slightly different on the build system, and so the install system might experience trouble because it does not have access to those libraries.
Most of my experience is with the RPM system, and I have to admit I still think it is superior to the DEB packaging framework, but the differences are all in the packager's work, not on the user end. Users seem to think the DEB system is better, more convenient, but the RedHat system has been fine for me. That being said, on my personal computers--my laptop--I currently run Ubuntu Linux, a Debian derivative. That choice was driven by the need for 3D video drivers. At the new user level, the predominant opinion seems to be that a Debian system, particularly the Ubuntu Linux distribution, makes it easier to get out of "dependency hell".
First of all, realize that not all Linux distributions will have the same assumptions about security. Some are configured in a way that is easy for newcomers, and therefore possibly less secure. Some are configured for experts, thus allowing newcomers to accidentally open up their systems to abuses.
In the "olden days," the default Linux installation would create 7 or so partitions on the hard disk, and it would put the major components in separate partitions. It was difficult/impossible to "resize" a partition, and even today that is somewhat untrustworthy on any OS. Sometimes, it is necessary for me to refer to these old school notes on Copying a File System Entirely.

When I was diagnosed with a rare and untreatable auto-immune liver disease five years ago called PSC I had no idea how to cope. My family has always had horse-shoes shoved up their rears as far as health went. Nobody in my family had ever, as I have come to call it, "lost their medical virginity" i.e. been diagnosed with a disease that could prove fatal.

In this work we will introduce and study a generalized zeta function of the general Hurwitz – Lerch zeta functions. Here, we aim to derive basic properties of generalized zeta function for the general Hurwitz – Lerch zeta functions include some integral representations for several general Hurwitz – Lerch zeta functions and fractional derivative. A number of known and new results which introduced are generalization of a known results introduced by Shy-Der and Srivastava .
Hurwitz-Lerch zeta functions; Mellin-Barnes integrals; hypergeometric functions; hypergeomteric-type generating functions.

Okay, I admit that I stayed after Blogworld for this Postiecon 07 in Las Vegas. I didn't know what to expect but now that it is over, I can put the weird cult like atmosphere aside and write about it. I had flashbacks to early days of eBay and some of their fan events.
Full disclosures. This blog is not sponsored in any way by anyone. It's just my longtime eight year old web forum persona here. I didn't receive anything from Izea AKA PayPerPost AKA SocialSpark other than the usual convention stuff like a shirt and drink holders. I even bought my own lunch. I've never been paid for a blog post anywhere. I did use PayPerPost in the past as an advertiser and am still not sure of the results, if any.
PayPerPost was the controversial system built by Ted Murphy in 2006. It allowed bloggers to make money by posting about who knows what. Advertisers paid for this. Many bloggers used it in a deceitful way of writing about stuff without saying they were paid for it. And many other bloggers always disclosed it. Controversy ensued. And I can't help but smirk at the irony of the name being Postiecon when some thought that the idea of hidden paid blog posts was a con for readers. Enough said.
Izea became the name for the parent company. And now another step away from PayPerPost and nail in the coffin of it was unveiled at Postiecon 07 and it is called Social Spark. No, it's not the dating website that had consumer complaints against it. I assume the domain changed hands for this new venture (but I don't know anything about that for sure) which is due to be released in January 2008. The socialspark website just goes to payperpost for now. In the end, it distances the system away from what it was and that's a smart move.
Everything is more open, even to those not logged in. There does not seem to be any privacy anymore. We can see all the good and bad posts and ad buys out there. They have extensive demographic information which will mislead a lot of people. The demographics come from the members of this marketplace. It is not data on a large swatch of people like MySpace or Facebook. Data on a bunch of people selling their words for a few bucks may not be an advertisers typical customer. It is a social network for bloggers and advertisers. Does a major corporation want to be social with a woman who blogs about mosquitoe nets, Costa Rica and breast implants in the same day for $5?
There seem to be positives for both advertisers and bloggers. Advertisers can inspect bloggers more closely and even have a price driven downward from what they originally set.
There is a marketplace for free posts. A blogger can get sponsorship on their blog. They can put annoying ads of all kinds over their blog for a set fee per day. In the best aspect I saw, a blogger can request a job or indicate interest in advertisers. This indicates possible passion and interest which is good for both sides. Advertisers have more control over their campaigns as well. Overall, I think the improvements are better for advertisers than bloggers. And that's what is needed to grow this kind of company. You can't cater everything to a small percentage of the bloggers on the net, the most successful of which says they make less than 20k in over a year.
All links will be "no follow" and have the same disclosure badge. This has several aspects to it.
It eliminates those that hide their posts.
It eliminates advertises looking for link love. They will have to want all that traffic from small blogs that write about nothing and everything in the world for a few bucks. And from what I heard today, most of which traffic is probably from marketplace bloggers praising each other.
It makes it easy for Google to find one consistent graphic and just nuke all those websites. One could argue the no follow tag link will make it look better however because it passes no credibility. But does an advertiser want to pay for an endorsement that says "no endorsement" behind the scenes?
Some negative things about Alexa and Google were said at this event. Alexa stats are skewed to people who have a toolbar installed. They are gamed and falsely inflate tech related companies who know about Alexa. So how is a ranking system from within a network of paid to post bloggers praising each other any better? Unknown. It's just a ranking of which paid blogs are the most trafficked and have a widget installed.
As for the backlash against Google changes lately. They created Pagerank and they own it. They can change it any time they want. Other companies and people opted to use it to make or save money and they have to accept the risk of it changing at any time.
Blogworld Expo and New Media Show Day Two is winding down. This was actually day one of the main conference. I'm counting the Executive and Entrepreneur day in my count. The show has continued to impress me as far as production, huge signs and technical aspects. You have to buy your own food today but at least guests are not paying for it in the cost of the pass. You do your own thing. There are pluses and minuses with that concept compared to conferences where you get box lunches. And those boxes that may or may not make you sick. I've spent a couple of past conference days at Search Engine Strategies either in the bathroom too often or just not feeling right. And when you see a sandwich with mayo put out at 9:30 in the morning for lunch several hours later, well you figure it out. But none of this is relevant with Blogworld Expo.
The morning keynote was with Wordpress Matt. (He doesn't need anymore links as any blogger knows). It was okay but nothing exciting. No news or real insight about anything. Matt is not a real dynamic speaker. And not everyone can be a great speaker so it's no big deal. I know I'd be horrible.
The morning session I chose was Monetizing Your Blog which featured Jeremy Schoemaker AKA Shoemoney. He is always an entertaining and a frank speaker who is bound to share something interesting that you can take away and use for yourself. I've seen and met him briefly a few times now at conferences. There is a select few people that I always look for on speaker schedules, knowing that something interesting will come out of the session, and he is one of them.
The show floor opened up and it was a pretty good one. There were four wide rows and it easy to maneuver through the crowds. Sometimes SES and Pubcon show floors are so cramped, it becomes a frustrating experience trying to schmooze. As usual, there are many new companies I've never heard of and will probably never hear of again. But that is normal. New companies launch and blow all their money on a show booth hoping to be bought, get VC funding or hit it big. Most of them just fade away leaving only pens and decaying signage in landfills to prove they ever existed.
More afternoon sessions filled up the day. All were good, well paced and without sales pitches. The final panel included heads of Technorati, Pajamas Media, Weblogs Inc, B5media and the founder of Blogger. It kept me awake but it was nothing noteworthy.
The first day of Blogworld Expo is underway. It is actually the Executive and Entrepreneur day today which costs much more than the two regular days on Thursday and Friday.
Thus far, it is an impressive show and beyond expectations. We'll see if it sustains itself when the masses join tomorrow. Well organized with lots of neat systems to help it run smoothly. Computer registration to reduce the check in line time. (Flashback to Pubcon and SES troubles in that area.) Nice booklet. Tons of signage. Good food, drinks and snacks. Lunch was hot with real silverware and cloth napkins. Also quite different from SES and Pubcon.
Sessions were solid. No sales pitches thus far. All just pure information and discussion at a high level. The only real disappointment was Huffington's cancellation for another higher priced appearance in NY.

In a bit of Friday afternoon news, TechCrunch reports that Apple plans to buy Shazam, the company behind the popular audio identification software and app. Apparently, the site’s sources indicate the deal could be announced Monday, but it’s quick to note the timing on these things isn’t always solid. As you can imagine, rumored terms of the deal, including a sale price, aren’t reliable just yet. The acquisition would give Apple ownership of the music, TV and movie identifying tech and a group of features it could easily take advantage of with its own products.
Of course, Shazam already works on both iOS and OS X. The song ID feature was added to iPhones (through Siri) with iOS 8 and it hit the desktop back in 2014. Shazam also goes to work on much more than phones and PCs. Most recently, the music discovery tech was added to Samsung smart TVs. The company also has a background listening toolthat’s always ready to recognize a song or audio clip. Sounds like a good feature for a smart speaker, eh?
Shazam does more than just audio identification, too. In 2015, the company began recognizing packaged goods, books, magazines and other merchandise — another area Apple would likely be interested in improving its own offerings. We’ve reached out to Apple for comment on the report and we’ll update this post if we hear back.
Update: Bloomberg is also reporting that a deal could be announced as soon as Monday.

New Delhi, Feb 24 (UNI) India Inc., by and large had a good word about Railway Minister Lalu Prasad's third budget, presented in Lok Sabha today, complimenting him for the sound financial health of the largest public sector undertaking and efforts to reduce dependance on budgetary support, but said the Minister was riding on a train of populism.
''It has not done enough to rise above populism. Besides, strategic measures to capture a substantially larger share of the growing goods traffic and the railways entry into a renewed growth phase are missing,'' Dr Bibek Debroy, Secratary General of PHDCCI and a well-known economist, said here.
Dr Debroy went so far as to say that the Railway Budget 2006 lacked commercial orientation and did not outline further measures to put the railways on a high growth trajectory.
''The practise of high freight tariff subsidising the passenger segment will regrettably continue,'' Dr Debroy said.
The industry was of the view hat the charismatic leader had been able to a miracle of sorts by giving sops to the passengers -- no hike in second class fares, slashing of first AC and second AC fares and an introduction of 55 new trains -- by adopting a well-known principle -- increase volumes but to reduce unit costs.
India Inc. also complimented the Railway Minister for taking on headlong, the fierce competition from low-budget airlines, by bringing down fares for AC first class and second class.
''Bringing down the operating ratio to 83.7 percent this year is reflective of the financial soundness of the railways,'' CII President Y C Deveshwar said.
CII offered a host of suggestions for Mr Prasad -- introduction of a freight discount scheme, loyalty discount scheme and non-peak season incremental freight discount scheme.
Two other features of the budget which received universal acclamation from India Inc., related to breaking the monopoly of CONCOR and the proposed dedicated freight corridors on the Eastern and Western sector.
Referring to a growth in Railway finances from a mere Rs 250 crore in 2001 to Rs 11,000 crore in 2005, ASSOCHAM President Anil Agarwal found it heartening that the internal resources of the organisation had registered a robust growth. This meant less dependance on market borrowings as well as budgetary support.
FICCI President Saroj Poddar found merit in the budget as it sought to lower the turn a round time of the wagons and adding more coaches to the existing ones as well as introduction of new trains. ''Modernisation is the need of the hour,'' Mr Poddar quipped.
Captains of industry, however, appreciated the compulsions of Lalu in giving so much focus to the 'Aam Aadami'-- the ensuing state assembly elections and his own background of being a people's man.

• The Commission did not maintain sufficient controls over the recording and reporting of its property.
• The Commission did not reconcile its property listing to the Quarterly Reports of State Property (C-15s) filed with the Illinois Office of the Comptroller (IOC). A difference of $680 was not reconciled or explained at June 30, 2009.
• The Commission’s property and equipment expenditures processed by the IOC during FY08 and FY09 did not reconcile to additions recorded on the C-15 reports. Property and equipment expenditures totaling $415 during FY08 and $697 during FY09 were never recorded on the property listing of C-15s. Additionally, the Commission listed an addition of $1,286 for the reporting quarter ending December 31, 2007 which was not supported.
• The Commission included computer software and licenses on its property control records. We noted 39 computer software and licensing items totaling $25,342 on the Commission’s property listing as of June 30, 2009.
• The Commission filed the FY08 Annual Real Property Utilization Report 27 days late.
• Three deletions tested (100%), totaling $419, were not recorded on the Commission’s C-15 during the proper quarter. The deletions should have been reported on the quarter ending December 31, 2007, but were not reported on the C-15 until the quarter ending June 30, 2008.
• The Commission did not file a surplus furniture affidavit with the State Surplus Administrator prior to purchasing a new furniture item with a unit price of $853.
We recommended the Commission strengthen internal controls over the recording and reporting of its equipment. Specifically, the Commission should ensure all equipment is accurately and timely record on the Commission’s property records and reconcile its property reports and records to the C-15s and IOC expenditure reports for property on a quarterly basis to ensure completeness and accuracy of its property records. The Commission should also submit its Annual Real Property Utilization Report by October 30th of each year and follow Statewide Accounting management System procedures for completing accounting reports pertaining to Quarterly Reports of State Property. Lastly, the Commission should ensure surplus property affidavits are filed before purchasing new furniture over $500 and submit its Quarterly Reports of State Property by the reporting deadlines.
Commission management agreed with the finding and recommendation.
The remaining finding is reportedly being given attention by Commission management. We will review progress toward implementation of our recommendation during our next examination.
We conducted a compliance examination of the Commission as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. We have not audited any financial statements of the Office for the purpose of expressing an opinion because the Office does not, nor is it required to, prepare financial statements.

This week, the girls from one of Kyiv’s boarding schools have been given a chance to feel the atmosphere of femininity and love, receiving a breakfast invitation to the ‘Liubov’- Morkov’’ (lovey-dovey) cafe from our partners, the Youth Movement Mission 3:16.
It was the time the girls simply enjoyed chatting with their friends and having a healthy and a very delicious breakfast, leaving behind all their serious thoughts and worries. To feel being special, attractive, valuable and a part of something bigger, society, in all the fullness and freedom, is something that is so important for children who do not have a family ….
Then, there was a walk in the city centre to the places where ‘she wanted to walk’, with the ice cream “that she wanted to enjoy,” taking selfies “the way she likes” … so, the girls will really remember this day and, in the future, this memory will remind each of them that “she is a woman, special, desirable and a true lady .. “!
All this has become possible because someone who cares organized this little party for the girls, someone who cares postponed all his chores and kept these girls a good company and accompanied them all the way, someone who cares sponsored the event! And I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone who cares and to wish you, my dear readers, to be caring!
Join in! Together, we will be able to say and do even more: “NO to Syria in Ukraine” !!!
⟵To create a blessing is to share the best you have!

Back from GUADEC, held in the beautiful Andalusian city of Almería, Spain, from 6th July through 11th July, 2018, I wanted to share a few notes wrt documentation and localization activities at the conference and during the traditional post-conference hacking days.
Mike Hill and Rudolfs Mazurs already blogged about their reflections of GUADEC. I’d add that we had some i18n and L10n-related talks in the schedule (machine translations, input methods), which was a nice improvement in terms of representation from previous years.
The space available for the Birds of a Feather sessions this year was rather limited, so we could only secure an afternoon slot (thanks Kat!) for our docs+translators meetup. We were joined for a while by a group of local documentation writers creating Spanish manuals for the local market. After that, we focused on two main areas.
One was related to the recent migration of GNOME projects to GitLab and involved looking into usability of our wiki docs for contributors and, specifically, newcomers. We found quite a few outdated references to git.gnome.org, Bugzilla and the like, with the biggest issue, however, being the suboptimal overall structure of the contributor guides on the wiki. We also looked into how to improve submitting user feedback and switching languages for the users of help.gnome.org (and yelp).
The other area discussed was making our CI checks for GNOME documentation modules much more robust, with the idea of using the GitLab CI integration to its full potential with tests verifying translations and more.
You can find all notes from the meetup in our Etherpad.
There was also some continued discussion on reworking the GNOME developer center, but I couldn’t take part in its final installment on Wednesday, as I was already flying out.
I’d like to thank the GNOME Foundation for their continued support in funding my travel.

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly oil a 9×9 baking pan or casserole dish. Spread fruit evenly in the pan and add apple juice. In a food processor, pulse 1/2 the oats until they are a flour-like consistency. Combine maple sugar, oats and oat flour, walnuts, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and sea salt. Cut the butter into small pieces and work it into the oat flour mixture until it resembles medium-sized crumbs. Lay the oat crumbs on top of fruit. Cook, uncovered, 35-45 minutes or until mixture is bubbling and oat flour is browned.

Chapter 8. The coverage of cost approach: how low is 'abnormally low'?
Since the very first EU procurement directive, every procurement directive have contained regulation of abnormally low tenders. Only one regulation regards the specific evaluation of prices by giving contracting authorities the right to refuse tenders that, after an assessement of content where tenderer has the oppertunity of being able to explain the the price, turns out to be abnormally low.
This book is a slightly amended version of the authors ph.d thesis from Copenhagen Business School.

I discovered a new brew, Pumpkin Ale from Buffalo Bill’s Brewery in California. Yes, the fall season is closing down for the winter months, but I’m hanging on until last call.
This particular beer caught my interest from across the store with its inviting fall packaging. Marketing got the best of me. I had to pick it up and take it home or back to the office.
The Ale is a microbrew consisting of baked and roasted pumpkin seeds. The combination of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg add a very unique flavor that ties the whole beer together. Some say it taste like pumpkin pie, I on the other hand had a delightful cider experience.
Check out 7 Ways With Beer for ideas on cooking with this frothy beverage.

Lighthouse Dispensary is a cannabis dispensary in Coachella, California.
Amazing service! I was given multiple jars to select my own, best looking nugs. The selection is fantastic and an even better staff. Perfect location, just off of I-10.
Always professional and always stocked with the premiums of top shelf!!! Anything Cannabis, Lighthouse has it. My favorite neighborhood dispensary for sure. Also there's a deal every day of the week!!!
Beautiful places, first time I went it was very nice they called you by name and explained things in detail. Now they have 5 to 6 people In at once everything. Super over priced. $80 for an 8th these days is ridiculous. Legalized or not.
I thought this place was great until I was charged $18 tax on a $50 purchase. Some will say it's mandatory but I have to disagree, regardless it was the 1st and last time.

An open letter to Cosatu: It is time to stop this façade of being a trade union that has the best interests of working class South Africans at heart. Your sole mission is to play politics and ensure that the ANC maintains its control of the state purse.
It is well known that Thursday was a Council sitting date in Johannesburg and therefore, neither I nor any member of my executive would be available to collect your memorandum in person, as we needed to fulfil our constitutional responsibilities by being present at the Council meeting.
However, upon further request by your leadership present at the march, I decided to send one of the Members of the Mayoral Committee, Councillor Michael Sun, to meet your representatives and receive your memorandum in person.
Upon graciously agreeing to receive your memorandum, Michael arrived at your march and climbed the ladder onto the back of a truck. When he greeted your leadership, which included the leader of the SACP, Blade Nzimande, another of your leaders announced to the crowd that the Mayor had sent a “fong kong” to receive the memorandum. He proceeded to state, that at least he [Michael Sun] was knowledgeable in “karate”.
Throughout this belittling and racist tirade Mr Nzimande stood quietly. But, your leader was not done yet. As Michael prepared to sign the memorandum, he was presented to the crowd as “Mr Lee”. Mr Nzimande remained unmoved while proudly staring at the crowd.
Michael was then unceremoniously instructed to get off the back of the truck, without being given the opportunity to address the crowd and inform them of our efforts to fight corruption in the City of Joburg – I note that this courtesy was extended to the ANC Premier of Gauteng, David Makhura. But of course you would not have wanted us to share this information with your members.
In light of the disgusting and shameful, racist treatment he received from your leadership at the march, I would like to introduce you to the man your leadership chose to insult so shamefully.
Michael is a passionate and loyal South African citizen of Chinese decent. He has been a dedicated and hardworking councillor in the City of Johannesburg for the past 12 years. He is also an admitted attorney of the High Court of South Africa, with close to two decades experience.
Since being appointed MMC of Public Safety, Michael has been instrumental in introducing positive changes in the JMPD, including the establishment of the K9 Narcotics Unit that is waging war on drugs, and the recruitment of an additional 1500 JMPD officers, which will represent a 50% increase in size of the JMPD force.
I condemn your racist behaviour in the strongest terms. To belittle a senior City official is one thing, but to racially abuse a passionate and loyal South African on the basis of his looks and descendants’ origins is utterly shameful. As a black South African, and given our intimate understanding of racial abuse, I am ashamed that Michael was treated in this denigrating manner by my fellow people. Your words were an insult to every South African of Chinese descent.
I demand that you publicly condemn these racist comments and apologise to Councillor Michael Sun.
Let me now address the contents of your memorandum of demands to the City of Joburg.
While we actively work towards the removal of labour brokers in the City, you choose to demand the reinstatement of the [email protected] Programme. I have repeated, time and time again, that this was a corrupt programme benefitting ANC card-carrying members. The City paid middle men (labour brokers) to provide members of communities with temporary work opportunities. This resulted in these middlemen becoming overnight millionaires, instead of ensuring that this programme benefitted our poor and unemployed residents.
The new administration is unapologetic about eradicating this labour brokering programme which only enriched ANC cadres. Instead, we are providing employees with direct work opportunities, cutting out the self-serving middle men, and ensuring that even more residents can benefit from work opportunities.
You claim to be a movement that is hell bent on the destruction of labour brokering, yet you blindly endorse the reinstatement of a labour brokering programme in Johannesburg. However, the proof of your claim lies in real action, not just trumpeting hollow slogans while feasting on the gravy train. In the City of Joburg, the new administration is actively reducing outsourcing in the City, and we have started a process to in-source all security services. Caterers and cleaners will be next.
You speak about fighting corruption, yet you demand that we reinstate all workers who have been suspended in the licensing department. Do you realise that over 100 employees from the licensing centres were suspended on serious charges of fraud and corruption? A number of these employees have already been arrested and have appeared in court on criminal charges. They have stolen millions of Rand from the City; money that could and should have been used to provide basic services to our residents, especially the poor.
On top of this demand, you also insist that we refrain from sharing this information with the media, and that we stop working with the Police and Hawks on these internal matters. Surely you can’t be serious?
Firstly, the public have a right to know about the outright looting that was taking place in this City under the leadership of your beloved ANC. Secondly, the City is limited in its powers when it comes to the criminal justice system. If we are to win the war against corruption, it is essential that we work together with institutions such as the Police and Hawks to ensure that corrupt criminals in this city are prosecuted.
I am dumbfounded by your demands. Were you seriously marching against corruption?
Since entering office, we have declared corruption public enemy number one in Johannesburg. We appointed General Shadrack Sibiya, the former head of the Hawks in Gauteng, to head up our Group Forensic and Investigations Department. To date, we have uncovered almost R15 billion in fraud, corruption, and theft in the City. Over 300 people have been arrested and over 100 officials have been suspended. I ask you to name any other sphere of government that has shown this dedication to rooting out corruption from the corridors of government?
Your demand for the reinstatement of free basic water and electricity is unfounded. Poor residents in Joburg still have access to both through our Expanded Social Package. In fact, the national norm is to provide 6kl of free water per month, but we have increased this to between 10kl and 15kl per month. This is how we protect the interests of our poor, while ensuring that those who can pay, do pay.
Your attempts to position yourselves as our nation’s ‘saviours’ from the clutches of state capture and corruption is fatally flawed. This is not only because your actions are almost a decade late, but it attempts to erase the public’s memory of how your organisation played a leading role in allowing corrupt leaders to rise to the highest echelons of our nation.
The fact that this sudden burst of energy is occurring a few months before the ANC’s elective conference is telling.
Yesterday, you disgraced your organisation with your racist comments and exposed your reckless endorsement of a labour brokering system. Your lack of sincerity in the fight against corruption is blatantly revealed in your demand for the reinstatement of corrupt employees in the City of Joburg.
I think it’s time to stop this façade of being a trade union that has the best interests of working class South Africans at heart. Your sole mission is to play politics and ensure that the ANC maintains its control of the state purse.
The South African public is no longer fooled, and looking at your deceasing support, it is apparent that neither are the working class.
Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba wrote this as an open letter to Cosatu.
Herman Mashaba is the executive mayor of Johannesburg. An entrepreneur, businessman and family man, Mashaba founded the famous company Black Like Me. His inspirational life story of overcoming formidable odds has captured the imagination of many South Africans. Born in near-poverty in GaRamotse in Hammanskraal, and raised by his sisters while his absent domestic-worker mother worked long hours, Herman sees his lifes purpose to help others find a ladder out of poverty.

My new collembolacomposting bin all set-up and ready to roll!
In the last edition of the RWC email newsletter I included an article I wrote about “springtails” (Phylum” Arthropoda, Subclass: Collembola). These are tiny insect-like critters (they used to be included with the insects, but this is no longer the case) that are extremely common in a wide variety of different habitats – including various types of composting systems.
I’ve always been curious to know how significant a role they can play in the (worm-)composting process, since I know they love to eat microbes (primarily fungi, I believe) just as the worms themselves do. I joked in the newsletter about potentially setting up a “collembolacomposting” bin to see what these little guys can do on their own.
Well, today I decided to actually go ahead with the plan, and our collembolacomposting experiment is officially underway!
I have little doubt that springtails won’t be the ONLY critters in the bin. I don’t know how many of you have ever tried to capture springtails one at a time, but it’s NOT easy! I ended up having to add small amounts of compost along with some of these guys. I’m sure there will be various other eggs etc included with that material (even given the tiny amount added), and that we’ll start to see various mites etc popping up as well. The important thing is that there be NO earthworms!
Luckily, I happen to have a big plastic garbage can full of old leaves, grass clippings and food waste down in my basement (which will be added to my Winter Windrow fairly soon), so it was very easy to get the springtail bin set up this morning. I also ended up mixing in some other dry fall leaves I’ve had sitting around as well. Springtails seem to like conditions that are somewhat drier than those ideal for worm composting (one thing you will notice if you have these critters is that they come to the surface any time water is added, or when conditions just generally become wet down below).
As you can see, springtails are pretty tiny!
Anyway – It should be fun to see how things develop in the bin!
What’s the over/under on how long it takes for red worms to show up in that bin?
Bently…Your dedication is over the top!!! Thank you.
Looking forward to the results Bentley. Always enjoy seeing those little guys in my bin, hard at work. My money would be on them having a pretty big impact overall!
Rich – not sure I follow. I’d be absolutely shocked if Red Worms ended up in this bin since it is an indoor system and I know what went into it. If they DID show up, it would almost certainly indicate that I somehow managed to introduce a worm cocoon with the tiny amount of compost that contained the springtails.
John – thanks for the kind words! It certainly makes things easy when I get to have so much fun in the process!
Eric – I think you may be right (about them having a significant impact), but I have no clue what to expect in terms of end product. Little springtail “castings”? Who knows! Will be fun to find out!
Bentley, youdaman! You need a new category for “Experiments”. All those 50 cocoon & 4 worm experiments…it’d be a huge category.
In a week or so I want to set up a small experiment and need a little advice. I’ll eventually check out your compost guy site, but thought I’d ask here also. What I have is fresh horse manure with bedding (sawdust?), UCG & molasses. I’ll have three 18 gal. totes. The control bin will just have manure. #2 will have manure & coffee. #3 adds Grade A molasses. My question for you is how much molasses should go in a gallon of water?
The goal is to speed up the pre-composting process so that the manure is worm-ready. I know it’s going to get hot. I’ll measure temps and see if there’s any difference between the 3 bins.
I just would bet a cocoon has made its way into the bin somehow.
Andrew – your experiment sounds cool! I’m no molasses expert though (haha) so I’m not really sure what to advise! Any time I’ve mixed up a batch of molasses-water I’ve simply gone with the “that looks like enough” approach. I figure if the water has a pretty deep “tea” color to it there is probably enough molasses (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!).
If you were doing this on a really large scale I’d certainly be a wee bit concerned about the heating potential of the 3-way mix, but I will definitely be interested to see how things turn out in these 18 gallon bins!
Rich – You may be right! I do have a lot of these worms scattered around my property, so there may be some cocoons even in the grass clippings and leaves I added! We shall see!

As temperatures soar, it becomes increasingly tempting to cool off in the water. While there are some risks with outdoor swimming, it can be done safely, and you can have a lot of fun, if you follow these guidelines from the experts at Outdoor Swimmer magazine.
Outdoor and wild swimming has become increasingly popular over the past few years.
When you see the length of the queues and the crowds in the water at your local swimming pool whenever the sun comes out, the attraction of the peace, space and freedom of open water becomes obvious. Outdoor swimming can be a wonderful activity for all the family and at all ages, so long as you take appropriate precautions and understand the hazards.
1. Remember, except for lifeguarded beaches, most outdoor swimming spots are unsupervised so you have to take full responsibility for your own safety.
2. Compared to your local pool, most outdoor swimming spots will have colder water. This may cause cold water shock and may reduce your ability to swim as your muscles cool down. Therefore, always enter the water gradually and stay within your depth with your head out of the water until you feel comfortable with the temperature.
3. Before entering the water, ensure it is easy to get out again!
4. Also, before entering the water, make a note of any hazards such as the current, jagged rocks, sudden changes in depth and underwater obstacles.
5. Consider swimming in a wetsuit, which will keep you warmer and prevent you from sinking.
6. Consider swimming with a towable floatation device. This will help other people see where you are and also give you something to rest on if you get cramp.
Around the UK there are lots of semi-secret places to swim. Luckily, these places have been discovered and shared in several wild swimming books and also online on the wild swim map. Any of these are excellent sources of information for swimming spots. Once you’ve got the bug, you can become more adventurous and start poring over maps for bends in rivers and other blue spots that might mark potential swimming locations.
If you’re looking to take your first steps into open water, Outdoor Swimmer has produced a free “Escape the Pool” guide.
Sadly, people drown in open water every year, so do please treat the water with respect, stay within your limits and never mix alcohol and swimming.
Find out more about open water safety.

Created by cutting the artists own past artworks and re-using the painted canvas, linen and paper to create a hand woven "tapestry-like" painting. About 10-18 different past artworks were used in each new work. Original materials were sourced from interior design firms sample books and second hand shops.
Each work is 26" H x 34" W, signed and dated in pencil on the front.
I'm an independent artist. I re-purpose and re-use my own artwork often incorporating found objects such as clothing, wire hangers and yarn into my work. I consider myself a blend of a painter, fiber artist and installation artist.

Being a girl living with people having orthodox thinking, I am not allowed to DREAM. Before actually talking about dream let us know the meaning of the dream. Dream for some people is their aspiration to become something, live life that they want, to get rich and many more. But for me, dream is a place where I don’t need to face any boundations while talking, thinking, and acting. Girls like me are only allowed to dream of their better half’s and the life after marriage. We girls do not know what a dream of an independent girl looks like.
In today’s environment, I have seen one thing that is very common that people advice to each other that they should give freedom to their girls but when it comes to them, they do not allow it. Today I want to ask this question, WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? I mean seriously what are you afraid of, you daughter, wife, girlfriend, sister is not a treasure that anyone will steal it from you. Just like boys we too have the right to live our life just the way we want. Isn’t this unjustified that in a family, a boys is sent abroad for higher education and the girl is not even allowed to go out of town.
We all have the same heart, mind and body and we know our right and wrong. Please stop holding our growth back in the name of protecting us. Your barriers sometimes let us choke and feel insecure in our own skin. Instead of raising your daughter SAFELY, raise her CONFIDENTLY.
Set her FREE and Watch her FLY!!

Hi, I’m just starting to open a shop, and wondered if I can use a banner and logo that I originally bought to open an Etsy shop. But after reading reviews and comments about Etsy, I have decided against it.
I had the banner and logo specially made, so I don’t know how I would go about using them on Folksy. That makes me sound really silly. But I haven’t done anything like this before, so it’s all new to me.
So long as they are the right size (optimal size 978x200px, but at least 978px wide and 80px tall, copied from my shop appearance section) and right file format (JPEG or PNG) you should be absolutly fine to use them (assuming no mention of etsy in them obviously). If you go to shop appearance in your dashboard you should be able to upload them to your shop, click on the change your banner button, then browse for it and upload it.
Hi Sasha and Stevie, thanks very much for your suggestions. I am now happy with the way the banner looks. I will be able to start adding stock over the next few days.

Before I get to today's topic I'd like to take a second to remind all my readers that May is National Short Story Month! If you'd like to dedicate some of your reading time this month to taking in some short fiction, then might I recommend my recently released collection of steampunk noir New Avalon: Love and Loss in The City of Steam!
The first two stories are free, go take a look!
Anyway, now that I've done my duty as an author and informed you of that, let's get on to today's topic, shall we?
We all know certain things about our characters. For example, we know how strong and smart they are, along with how wise and how charismatic they tend to be. We know what their classes are, and we know what skills they excel at. If you want to use the random tables you can even figure out their ages, heights, weights, and other personal statistics with the rolls of a few dice. You probably have an idea of what they look like, and you know what gear they're carrying.
But who are they? Beneath the broadswords and longbows, and behind the gray eyes and con scores, who is your character?
And what in the HELL is he DRINKING?!
Now, chances are good that when you bring a character to a table you have a few, broad strokes about who they are figured out. For example, you have a pick-pocket who grew up in the dock ward. She pretended to be a boy until she got too old for that to work, and then supplemented her income with burglaries and other crimes. She joins adventuring parties as a way to make money without having to worry about looking over her shoulder for the law, since stealing from dragons and aeons-dead sorcerers is hardly stealing.
Whether you're a glory-seeking barbarian warrior, an erudite master of the arcane, or a pious wanderer seeking to heal the sick and help the needy, you've got a basic archetype you can fill. For some players, though, getting past that cardboard cut-out can be troublesome. After all, what more is there to Brand Savage, Warden of the Kingswood, except that he's a ranger who likes the peace and solitude of the forest, and wants to serve his king and country?
Think about where you are in life. Think about what your job is. Or your passions. Why those things? What led you to choose those paths over anything else you could have dedicated your life to? Chances are good you can think of a particular event that stands out in your memory that acts as a signpost for that particular decision.
Those things are defining moments.
Again, character flavor works best with examples. So here's a few to illustrate what I'm talking about.
- Karela the Red was the gunsmith's daughter. Her mother died in childbirth, so her father taught her his trade the same way he would have a son. When their home was attacked by bandits she snatched up her father's blunderbuss, but it misfired and the bandits killed her father. From that day onward she's kept her weapons fastidiously clean and ready for action, knowing that sometimes putting it off to tomorrow means there won't be a tomorrow. And she always, always has a back-up.
- Erik Alder loved listening to his uncle's tales of sailing the world. The exotic lands, the strange creatures, and the adventure were something he never got tired of hearing about, despite the old man's missing eye and the stump where his hand had once been. Erik went to sea himself at 14, and that sensation of the salt in his lungs and the wind in his hair is something that has drawn him ever-onward since that day.
- Glenda Hammerhand always loved the stories of the gods. She liked the idea of being a priest, but all the reading and remembering was a task infinitely more complicated than smelting gold or swinging a hammer. The first time she felt the brush of divinity moving through her, though, and the smile of the boy whose broken leg she healed, she knew that the clergy was truly where she belonged.
Do you see? While a life is complicated, full of important choices and banal decisions, some of them have the potential to truly shape what a character feels or believes. These moments can be good, they can be bad, or they can be downright cynical. The soldier who defended her brethren during a surprise attack, only to be thrown under the cart wheels when the captain demanded to know whose fault the failure was might adopt a "looking out for myself" policy before becoming a mercenary. The paladin who defends the right of all creatures to make their own decisions might see one too many victims become monsters, and fall from grace when he becomes a tyrant in order to save people from themselves. The half-orc, ostracized by his community may still defend them when they're threatened. The gratitude of those he saves is second only to the feeling of pride he has in using his strength and ferocity to protect something he feels is truly his.
A character should have at least one defining moment before coming into game (typically the one that made the character an adventurer in the first place). That said, these moments will also occur throughout a campaign. The half-feral ranger may bond with the bard, showing the singer a world he never knew existed, and at the same time remembering what human companionship is like. An aristocratic cleric might believe the barbarian is a savage in need of education, but when he sees the complexity of the "savage's" beliefs he realizes there are more perspectives than his own to share.
By learning to recognize (and occasionally push) defining moments you'll be able to develop a deeper character whose motivations and actions become crystal clear. Not only with this make RP easier, but it will often lead you to develop your characters in ways you didn't plan for.

The PS VR has seemed to be received alot better than Sony had anticipated.
So currently they are ahead of their target if units continue to sell at this rate.
Maybe this will be a good thing for VR in the long run now that this many people support it, guess we will have to wait and see.
VR has the potential to really redefine what gamers classify as immersive, but it really needs to continue moving forward and not stop evolving.
Developers have the capabilities to really make experiences that can define a generation, and the direct aproach with the player being involved in it all, allows for messages to impact the players specifically, instead of vicariously through a protagonist character.
