It's May bank holiday weekend: perfect for pottering around the garden, lazing around in the bath (with some Vintage Mimosa & Pomegranate, of course!) and for making the most of the extended weekend in the capital. Here are a few ideas for what to do this weekend...
The Making of Harry Potter
What better way to treat the kids (and maybe yourself) this bank holiday weekend, than with a trip to see where the magic of Harry Potter was created. With over 150,000 square feet of set, you can walk through the Great Hall, Dumbledore's office, the Gryffindor common room, and see how Buckbeak the Hippogriff, and Fawkes the phoenix were brought to life using state-of-the-art animatronics in the Creature Effect workshop.
Until March 6th 2013
Warner Bros Studio, Aerodrome Way, Leavesden, Watford, Herts, WD25 7LS

Canalway Cavalcade 2012
An event that's been taking place since 1983, the Canalway Cavalcade sees around 130 boats moor along the stretch of the Grand Union Canal between Blomfield Rd, Warwick Avenue and Warwick Crescent. Quintessentially English, here you'll find some very well maintained canal boats as owners try their best to outdo each other, Morris dancers, and a few pints of real ale to be had. Bring your tankard.
May 5th to 7th
Little Venice, between Blomfield Rd, Warwick Avenue and Warwick Crescent, London, W9 2PB
Web: https://www.waterways.org.uk/
Outdoor Swimming Pools
All right, it's not quite summer yet, and there's still a bit of a nip in the air, but London does have some of the best outdoor swimming to be found, and there's something still very fun about taking a dip outdoors. Here's some of the best outdoor swimming for May bank holiday weekend...P.S Don't forgot to take some Heathcote & Ivory Shower Gel and Body Wash to get rid of all that chlorine...or algae!

Natural History Museum: Animal Inside Out

Until September 16th
Natural History Museum, Cromwell Rd, London, SW7 5BD
Pearly King and Queen Crowning Ceremony
And finally, a truly London affair. This year is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Henry Croft, the original Pearly King (known for adding pearl buttons to his clothes to draw attention to his charity fund raising). This Sunday will see the crowning of a new generation of Pearly Kings and Queens. Followers are expected at the Carpenter's Arms to take part in the celebrations to welcome the new 'royal family' to the throne – all wearing the iconic button-covered garments.
Sunday May 6th
Carpenter's Arms, 135 Cambridge Heath Rd, Stepney, E1 5RN

Woo Hoo!
Wyatt's not going to care about this, he might even be happy about it, but Joe Gibbs Racing is going to Toyota!
I come from a family that has had very dependable Toyota's for almost my whole life, and I was absolutely beside myself when I heard that Toyota would be racing the Camry in the Nextel Cup.
Toyota is already dominating the Craftsman Truck Series, and in the Busch Series, David Reutiman is second in points behind Carl Edwards, and Jason Lefler gave Toyota their first Camry Victory, and is 4th in points behind 3rd place Kevin Harvick.
With Joe Gibbs running in the Japanese car, look for Toyota to not only rack up wins, but possibly a championship in only their second season of racing in the Cup Series.

The last race of the year will be held in Laughlin, NV December 12th.
Welcome Racers to the all new SNORE 3.0 website. This has been my 6th year working for SNORE. I have got to say that it has been a lot of work, but I have enjoyed every minute of it. This website is the 3rd re-design I have done for SNORE and it is the best yet. Over the past few weeks I had the pleasure of working with Ken Flippin Jr. on this project. I applaud him for all his hard work and creative ideas. This website was built with a powerful software that has brought SNORE out of the dark ages and to the top of internet technology. The website has an incredible back end system that will help myself and SNORE update the website faster and easier. Please let me know if you encounter any issues that might help me improve our website.
Thank you,
Greg Boyer

CALIENTE, Nev. - The annual Dusty Times 250 here May 8-10 had a little of everything ranging from a heart-warming meet and greet at a local elementary school to non-stop action on a 60-mile course in an event that featured water, trees and something called "Oh My God Hill" that drops into the back side of this fascinating 100-year old town situated northeast of Las Vegas.

Entertainment first, payment later
I am a big technology fan and I appreciate all sorts of gadgets. Most of the devices that fascinate me are completely useless on a long term. These don't make my life any better. Even so, even if I am perfectly aware of this situation, I still continue to buy them. My wife keeps on telling me that at one point or another I will regret all these chaotic purchases and realize that I could have used my money in a much better way. Well, I used to disagree with her regarding this topic, up until recently. Some time ago I bought a smart TV. This is one of those gadgets that permit you to do all kinds of things, not just to watch your favorite miniseries or movie. You can surf on the Internet, visit your Facebook account or listen to music on Youtube.
Yes, it is an interesting device to have in your home. At least, so I thought when I purchased it. Before you get too excited, it is worth mentioning that the price of this tool is rather high, at least for my financial possibilities. I had to take a loan to manage to buy it. Of course at that time, nothing appeared to be wrong in this plan of mine. As my wife predicted, the enthusiasm lasted for a few weeks, then it all pasted, all except the payment rates. If this was not enough, I got left behind and managed to obtain a bad credit history. At first, I didn't quite understand what this meant, but later on I discovered that bad credit personal loan lenders are harder to find. Just to make things even better, my wife and I wanted to go in Greece in the summer, but we needed a personal loan to make this happen.
I know, it appears to be one of those impossible situations in which no solution can be found. Well, the positive part comes now. We embraced the situation and started looking for agencies that could help. The idea was to locate a company that could in turn find us bad credit personal loan lenders willing to collaborate with us. Finally, we succeeded. The sum we were offered was not very big, but considering the situation, it was just what we needed. On top of everything else, we found a great offer in Greece, so the sum we received was ideal for our needs. What I have learned from this experience is that when it comes to technology, you have to be cautious and buy only those gadgets that can improve your life quality. Otherwise, you might end up just like me, with rates to pay. Also, even if you end up having a bad credit history, you needn't panic, as there are several agencies that can help you. There is a solution to each and every problem and all you have to do is to invest a bit of time in your researches and collaborate with trustworthy companies.

Monster Pulse is a supernatural horror adventure story written for young adults, with expressive black-and-white art and truly cool and original subject matter. A couple kids in the Pacific Northwest stumble on a secret government experiment to create life from life, which pulls an organ from their bodies and turns it into a powerful and devoted monster. The organ is now permanently removed and independently alive but somehow still capable of performing its intended function. In the case of Bina Blum, her heart is now a six-foot-tall, incredibly strong and protective creature that still somehow pumps her blood from outside her body, as she can still check her pulse. The energy creatures that are seeking out specifically children to bond with are being hunted by their creators, the shadowy organization SHELL, which is taking extreme measures to capture or destroy them, regardless of the fact that the destruction of the monster means the destruction of the original organ. In Bina's case at least, this means evading and fighting the agents of SHELL is a fight for her life!
In the midst of all this, the kids must still deal with being pre-teens. While the monsters and evading SHELL brings them together, they don't necessarily have much holding them together beyond that. They have to deal with learning their parents are human and not always to be relied on, jealousy amongst friends, those first romantic feelings, and heavier issues like death and responsibility. One of the kids, Abel, is homeless for as-yet-unknown reasons, and has had to engage in petty theft to survive. All this combined makes an incredibly deep and riveting webcomic-in-progress. I was glued to the archive until I was caught up! These are very realistic characters, which is rarer and rarer in the ever widening pool of webcomics that are out there. The author has small breaks in between chapters, but otherwise sticks to a regular update schedule.
The Author and her Other Works
Magnolia Porter is a freelance illustrator, who created Monster Pulse partially out of a love for Pokemon and the Kids-And-Monsters genre. She's also written the complete comic Bobwhite about young women in art school. Monster Pulse Book 1 will soon be released, thanks to a successful Kickstarter!

It's less than 24 hours until Apple's iPhone 8 hits the shelves. Excited? Of course. But don't get too excited, because chances are your gleaming new toy will be biting the dust within months. Specifically: by Friday 5 January. Most likely at about 1am, when you drop it down the toilet, or throw it to your drunk friend before it hits the tarmac, or watch it splinter under your heel on the dance floor. Well, that's what iSmash is saying, anyway.
Read more: Five talking points from the iPhone X launch
The mobile tech repair specialist has calculated (with their nifty iSmash calculator) that Brits are most likely to smash their phone just 105 days after purchasing it. It may sound it a little gloomy, but iSmash can actually provide you with a tool that calculates the exact date when you are statistically most likely to smash your new phone, based on when you purchased it. Although, considering it's in iSmash's interests for you to smash your phone as quickly and as regularly as possible, we're a little dubious as to why they'd like to give us a friendly heads up. Beware of the iSmash calculator, folks, it might not be what it seems...
If you'd rather skip the iPhone 8 and get straight to the recently launched game-changing iPhone X, two generations up, then read our five iPhone X talking points. To stay perfectly safe with your new £1,000+ smartphone, read our guide to the seven best iPhone X cases.

Whilst development is continuing at pace on our responsive update to the Compare WordPress theme we are simultaneously working on improvements to the Compare Plus plugin. Whilst doing so we have come across a quirk in the way the Amazon Product Advertising API sometimes returns prices.
It seems that the manufacturers of the products have a deal with Amazon, if Amazon can sell the product for less than a price set by the manufacturer then Amazon are not allowed to return this price in their API for our users to put it on their site. Instead of sending the price Amazon send back the words Too Low To Display. We have implemented a quirkaround into Compare Plus so that if this string is sent back in the price field the user is trying to use Compare Plus will add in the list price instead (Quirkaround Definition: a work around to accommodate a quirk in something you cannot change).

Sight words are words that should not be, or cannot be, sounded out by beginning readers. Sight words are also called high-frequency words because they appear in all kinds of text. Students need to memorize these words so they can read more fluently. They should already know most of their letters and letter sounds before learning sight words.
Dolch Preschool Word List
At least 50 percent of the words used in school books, library books, magazines and newspapers come from the Dolch Basic Sight Vocabulary list. Their preschool list includes: a, and, away, big, blue, can, come,down, find, for, funny, go, help, here, I, in, is, it, jump, little, look, make, me, my, not, one, play, red, run, said, see, the, three, to, two, up, we, where, yellow, you.
Education List
Education.com has a slightly different list of sight words for preschoolers. They include: a,at,an,and,am,are,can,do,for,go,have,he,here,in,I,is,it,like,look,me,my,no,play,said,see,she,so,the,to,up,we.
Fry's List
Dr. Fry refined the Dolch word list to include nouns. The list includes 600 words, broken into sets of 100, with four groups per set. They are listed in order of frequency. Preschoolers can learn the first group of the first 100: the, of, and, a, to, in, is, you, that, it, he , was, for, on, are, as, with, his, they, I, at, be, this, have, from.

Lunch time...Julianne ran out of hands to eat with :o) One had is holding her baby...the other hand is holding her french fry container...instead of putting her baby down, she just picked up her food with her mouth...silly girl!

However, when I turned around all I saw was an empty seat :o( It is so strange not having him with us. We all miss him so much! However, my shoulder has appreciated not having to carry his car seat all day! It has been so sore the last week or so, but after a day of rest it is feeling much better :o) Karey, the sweet mom that is keeping Jonah, left a comment today saying he is doing good.

THIS OPINION HAS NO PRECEDENTIAL VALUE. IT SHOULD NOT BE CITED OR RELIED ON AS PRECEDENT IN ANY PROCEEDING EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY RULE 268(d)(2), SCACR.
In The Court of Appeals
Charles Sullivan, Appellant,
South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services, Respondent.
Appeal from the Administrative Law Court
Carolyn C. Matthews, Administrative Law Court Judge
Unpublished Opinion No. 2011-UP-157
Submitted April 1, 2011 – Filed April 12, 2011
Charles Sullivan, pro se, for Appellant.
Teresa A. Knox, J. Benjamin Aplin, and Tommy Evans, Jr., all of Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Charles Sullivan appeals the Administrative Law Court's (ALC) order dismissing his appeal of the Department of Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services' (the Department) decision denying him parole. He argues the ALC erred in (1) dismissing his appeal and (2) denying his motion to compel additional evidence for the record. We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities:
1. As to whether the ALC erred in dismissing Sullivan's appeal: S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-600(D) (Supp. 2010) (providing that the ALC shall not hear an appeal involving the denial of parole to a potentially eligible inmate by the Department); Compton v. S.C. Dep't of Prob., Parole & Pardon Servs., 385 S.C. 476, 479, 685 S.E.2d 175, 177 (2009) (holding that an order denying parole and stating consideration of all statutory and Department criteria is sufficient to avoid deeming an inmate effectively ineligible for parole).
2. As to whether the ALC erred in denying Sullivan's motion to compel additional evidence for the record: Cox v. Cox, 290 S.C. 245, 248, 349 S.E.2d 92, 94 (Ct. App. 1986) (holding that appellant has the burden of showing that an error was prejudicial).
FEW, C.J., THOMAS and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.

When sharing gossip on Twitter, there's always that moment when you have to boldly announce that the conversation will have to continue over DM. Sadly, as well as killing the mood, it means that group discussions get broken up in favor of individual messages behind the veil. It's a problem that Twitter boss Dick Costolo is aware of, and told Bloomberg that the company would look to build a "whisper mode" that lets you grab whole conversations with friends (plural) and make them private at the push of a button. Naturally, an off-hand by a CEO can't be taken as gospel, and we don't know if this is instead of, or beside, the long-mooted private messaging app that would break out Twitter DMs to another platform. Given the rise in real-time messaging platforms like WhatsApp and the anonymity afforded by apps like Secret, however, it looks as if Twitter's going to muscle up so that we never again have to type "Let's take this to DM, k?" ever again.

A family destination, the mall offered excellent shopping, food and entertainment options spread across its large surface area. Every member of the family could spend quality time as they wished to and for as long as they wanted to. I was tasked to design an enduring identity for the mall, one that would withstand the test of stiff competition in the days to come. The logo : The symbol lay in the name itself. Phoenix, a mythical bird that rose from the ashes, finds pride of place in a smart, tight wordmark. The tagline: A DAY WELL SPENT Not only does this delightful pun encapsulate the wholesome mall experience for one and all, but it also reminds the visitor that there are more than enough engagements that could fill up an excitingly productive day. Today after 11 successful years, this identity and its benefit of 'A Day Well Spent' still stands strong and true to millions of shoppers who have made spending a weekend at High Street Phoenix in Mumbai's Lower Parel, a ritual the entire family looks forward to.

| 8.4°C Belfast
A 40 metre zone will separate soldiers taking part in an army homecoming parade from republican protestors in Belfast City Centre this Sunday.
People across Northern Ireland will be holding their breath amid fears that violence could break out as large crowds of demonstrators and supporters descend on the city.
There are concerns that dissident republicans, who are expected to stage illegal protests, or loyalists, could ignite serious disruptions.
Last night the head of the Parades Commission defended the decision to allow the Sinn Fein protest demonstration near the Army event. Roger Poole also called for calm.
"We would ask that those who intend to come to the city on Sunday review their own positions and redouble their efforts to take tension out of this issue in advance of the parade," he said.
"Belfast deserves a peaceful weekend and the citizens and traders in the city are entitled to a trouble-free day. Anyone intent on causing or contributing to civil unrest should stay away.
"Now is the time for an effort to be made to reduce rather than heighten tension around this parade and protest. There is an onus on those political and community leaders in a position of influence to demonstrate leadership between now and Sunday through their words, their actions and their commitment to non-violent actions."

College students benefit from big hits programme
Salford Red Devils College benefit from 'Big Hit's programme
The Salford Red Devils College programme have been benefitting from the Foundation's pioneering 'Big Hits' education scheme.
'Big Hits' is a programme, funded by the 'Big Lottery' scheme, and designed to enhance the education of people under the age of 25, equipping them with practical skills, as well as valuable life skills such as gambling awareness and healthy living advice.
The Salford Red Devils College programme is a cohort of students studying to obtain a level 3 sports qualification whilst competing in the College Rugby League, based full time at the AJ Bell Stadium.
The specialist staff of the Red Devils Foundation have been taking the college group through a number of the 'Big Hits' initiatives, looking to aid their personal development away from the classroom and the rugby field.
Foundation Education manager Neil Blackburn has been a key figure in implementing the big hits programme, and is pleased with the progress being made by the college setup;
"It's great that we are able to offer these lads something beyond their academic studies. The college course is great because it enables them to develop their rugby games whilst gaining a qualification, and through Big Hits we've been able to add even more value to the course, helping to equip with them with some essential life skills as well".
Away from the College programme, the Foundation are continuing to deliver Big Hits across the Salford community.
Last weekend, the Foundation successfully delivered a level 2 coaching course to a group of volunteers from local community clubs, and are holding an open access Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) course at the AJ Bell Stadium on the 24th November.
For more information on this course, or any of the work done through the 'Big Hits' programme, email firstname.lastname@example.com

UPDATE - Sept. 20, 2017: The man behind a "justice-pricing'' policy based on charging higher admission to white males attending the screening of his movie says he used a false name to promote it because he was concerned about a backlash that could risk his safety. Shiraz Higgins said Wednesday he has received death threats at an email account he created with the false name Sid Mohammed and admitted he used the pseudonym in an interview with The Canadian Press a day earlier.
VICTORIA — The filmmakers behind a comedic web series in British Columbia are facing fierce backlash after they tried to tackle economic disparity with ticket prices.
Organizers for the Victoria premier of "Building the Room" used "justice pricing" when tickets went on sale last week, with white males being charged $20, while others paid $10.
Sid Mohammed, a spokesman for the production, says organizers wanted to address the fact that white males tend to have more purchasing power than other demographics.
But he says they received a "huge amount" of backlash on the pricing, including emailed death threats and accusations that the practice was racist and constituted discrimination.
Organizers have responded by lowering the admission price for white males to $15 and announcing that any profits from the door will be donated to the Native Friendship Centre of Victoria and the Victoria Pride Society.
We don't think the people we want at the event are particularly angry about this.Sid Mohammed
Mohammed says he appreciates the community's engagement on the subject and doesn't believe it will over-shadow the show's premier later this month.
"We don't think the people we want at the event are particularly angry about this," he says. "We've had a lot of support — it's been quieter, for sure — but we've had a lot of support for this pricing model."
Constructive critiques have helped improve the model and organizers aren't taking the death threats seriously, Mohammed says.
"It's part of change making. I think a lot of people who make change receive this kind of negative attention," he says.
Watch what happens when a Toronto coffee shop charges women extra:
The idea of gender-based pricing isn't new.
Earlier this year, a cafe in Australia made headlines around the world for introducing an 18 per cent surcharge for men, representing the gap in wages between men and women. The cafe donated the proceeds to women's charities.
Despite the uproar, Mohammed says he plans to continue pursuing what he calls justice pricing.
"We're going to keep pushing forward and trying to make this better and better so the community can enjoy a great show and enjoy it in a way that they feel good about the dollars they're spending," he says.

I want to share with you this super easy, extremely tasty and healthy recipe for raw bonbons! After making them for the 3rd time, I discovered how I can make them last longer and taste even better (I didn`t believe this was possible). Simply put them in the freezer and see for yourself how magnificent the bonbons will taste! Don`t wait for them to thaw, eat them right away and if there are some left-put them back in the freezer.
For 50 bonbons you will need:
- 1 tea cup goji berry soaked in water
- 100g wallnuts
- 100g almond
- 100g dried plums
- 150g dates
- 50g rasins and red berries soaked in red rum
- 1tbsp tahin
- 1tbsp honey
- 100g oat flakes
For decoration:
- 50gr coconut flakes
- 50gr carob powder/or cocoa powder
Blend all the ingredients. Mix them all in a big bowl.The texture should be sticky and thick. Use a tea spoon or with your hands take some of the mixture and make small balls.
Roll the bonbons in the coconut flakes. The bonbons are sticky enough so don`t worry, the flakes will stick to the candy.
Roll some of the bonbons in carob or cocoa powder. I prefer the taste of carob powder but there is not much difference so you can use cacao as well. Mmm…tasty vegan truffles!
And now you can freeze your yummy bonbons or enjoy them right away! By the way it took me less than 15min to prepare! Let me know in the comments bellow if you liked this recipe! Keep in mind that you can use whatever dry fruit and nuts you have 🙂 Adding chia and sesame seeds, and some tahin is also a great idea! Experiment and make your own unique super bonbons!

Trust me there is a LOT of detail behind those shadows!
After what feels like 6 life times (in truth less than 1 1/2 weeks) I'm finally calling the modelling stage of the Durham Cathedral complex for my FXPHD class MOD302 done. I feel like I know this cathedral better than the people who bloody built it afer starring at it for a week and a half lol 18 hrs a day.
So many areas are detailed I can't get them all into a single still
Now this was not just a modelling 'challenge' for me (it being without doubt the most complex model I've ever done...especaily if you count the interior I did last year for MOD302), but also a software one. in the end I had to use 3d max 2012 for this for one simple reason...it was the only software with any chance of being able to have the ammount of polygons in the viewport at the sametime without crashing like a bitch all over the place.
We're talking tens of thousands of seperate parts and a polycount that technically should 'break' 3d max, its viewport ....as 3d max has a theoretical poly limit of 10 million for a single scene (without proxies etc). This model breaks that by a fair old bit. In fact its between 12-15 million..with no instances or proxies used. There is detail thats not visible even in a 1080p frame lol. (in fact even trhe sanctuary knocker is modelled even though it takes up about 3 pixels.) So every part of the cathedral complex is capable of supporting a close up.
Now I MUST give props to Neil Hazzard and the nitrous team who handle the 3d max viewport progamming. Any other app would have not only crashed but certainly not have such a nice viewport as respresentative of the final render. In fact below at the bottom is the viewport grab of the scene to compare with the 1st image in this post. Not bloody far away I think you'll agree!
So lets remember that when 3d tech works well...god damn its impressive...and this does. So hats off to Neil and his crew. (I promise to buy him several drinks next time I see him.)
Now comes the hard part...texturing the entire cathedral complex ,setting shaders up and getting it ready to create the entire 3d scene it will go in. But 1st I'm taking a damn day off as a week and a half 18 hours a day working on this has me on the verge of running round with an axe.
insane polycount in the viewport of 3d max....

« Three Big Questions on Artificial Intelligence and Schools | Main | One More Thing for Educators to Do: Teach Parents About Proper Use of Technology »
Flexibility, Freedom, and Failure: Extraordinary Students Offer Advice for Improving Schools
What lessons do extraordinary students have for K-12 educators and administrators?
On the opening day of the annual conference of the International Society for Education, being held here, two of the teenagers featured in Education Week's 2018 Faces of the Future series shared their experiences and advice. Emma Yang of New York City and Jeremy Currier of Rochester Hills, Mich., were joined by Andrew Rodebaugh, a recent graduate of Philadelphia's Science Leadership Academy high school, for a panel discussion.
The students' suggestions: More options for what to learn. More flexibility in the school day. An emphasis on a well-rounded education. And more space to embrace failure.
"Schools obviously aren't able to teach everything, but the curriculum can become more flexible to allow students to combine their inside- and outside-of-school passions," Yang said.
Here's a breakdown of the four big lessons from Sunday's panel:
1. Help students turn failure into a learning opportunity.
When Rodebaugh's robot came out of the gate at a high-profile competition and promptly took an epic nosedive, the moment became a viral internet meme.
Now an 18-year old rising freshman at Drexel University, he's able to laugh about such failures. But there was a time when they drove him out of school altogether.
Rodebaugh's private elementary/middle school not only failed to accommodate his special needs, said Rodebaugh (who was born with a heart that lacks a left ventricle, leading to a series of health issues as a child and ongoing challenges with memory and verbal communication). The school was also a place "where failure was shamed and despised."
He withdrew, then was homeschooled for years. That's when he caught the coding bug. For high school, Rodebaugh decided to attend SLA, a project-based magnet high school that has won international recognition for its approach.
There, his teachers not only were explicit about expecting students to make mistakes, they laid out the process to learn from them, including structured reflections and iterative design processes.
By the end of his senior year, Rodebaugh had designed an online platform for hackathons and coding competitions and developed an app to help people avoid dehydration, an issue that had previously sent him to the hospital.
"Because I was encouraged to fail, I became a better student," Rodebaugh said.
2. Make room in your curriculum for students' passions
Emma Yang just launched Timeless, a mobile app that uses facial recognition and artificial intelligence to help Alzheimer's patients recognize loved ones, remember events, and stay connected with friends and family members.
It wouldn't have been possible if her school, New York's private Brearley School, hadn't been willing to accommodate her unusual interests and talents.
"Developing Timeless for the past three years, I've been pitching and doing talks and panels to spread the word and raise awareness," Yang said. "Whenever I had to miss class or need extensions on assignments, my teachers had to really support that and help me get through my education while working on this outside of school."
3. Traditional liberal arts can = innovation
Yang also detailed some counterintuitive ways her school has been helpful in her development as an innovator and entrepreneur.
"My parents chose a liberal arts education for me, even though I'm a tech kid," she said. "They really believe if you read well, you write well. And if you write well, you think well."
That approach has helped with Timeless in all sorts of ways, Yang said.
She's become a more critical thinker.
She's become a better problem-solver.
And perhaps most importantly, Yang said, she's become a better communicator, using her exceptional interpersonal skills to find mentors, raise funds, and win over judges at pitch competitions.
"Being able to really tell my story, and really tell the narrative behind Timeless, has been really instrumental in helping me get Timeless to where it is today," Yang said.
4. Introduce technology courses as early as possible and find opportunities for highly skilled students.
By the time he was 11, Jeremy Currier was already building his own computers at home.
At school, though, the STEM classes that might tap into that curiosity and talent didn't start til 6th grade, and even those were extremely basic.
"Having those classes start in middle school was really almost an insult to me," Currier said. "I wasn't learning anything."
Conversations with counselors about his interests didn't seem to go anywhere. But Currier's IT-related curiosity didn't go away. When he and a friend found a sticky note with username and password information posted on a school computer, they started exploring, eventually gaining a breathtaking level of control over their school district's network (Education Week detailed the hack and Currier's resulting expulsion as part of the Faces of the Future series.)
What might have prevented things from going so wrong?
More opportunities to channel his interests, Currier said. Maybe the opportunity to work with school IT staff. Or an independent study program. And definitely industry IT certification programs, available as soon as students demonstrate readiness to pursue them.
"Get students started on a path," Currier said.

Nokia Acquires Scalado Assets
"Nokia has been working with Scalado for more than ten years and they've contributed to many of our leading imaging applications," said Jo Harlow, executive vice president, Smart Devices at Nokia. "This transaction would enable us to combine our leadership in camera devices with their expertise in imaging, helping people move beyond taking pictures to capturing moments and emotions and then reliving them in many different ways." A Youtube video below demos Scalado Rewind, one of these many ways:
Recently announced Scalado Photobeamer allows instant viewing of photos by pointing the iPhone on any screen displaying www.photobeamer.com site, without any needs for pre-configurations or pre-registrations:
The acquisition is expected to close during the third quarter of 2012. The terms of the acquisition are confidential.
Founded in 2000 in Lund, Sweden, Scalado has more than 50 patent and patent pending technologies. Scalado technologies are in over 1 billion mobile devices, a figure growing with over 500 million each year. The company already licenses its solutions to the top five tier 1 mobile phone manufacturers, top 10 ISP/Sensor companies, and most leading platform providers. Customers/partners include Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola, HTC, LGE, Samsung, NEC, Aptina, OmniVision, Fujitsu, Renesas, Qualcomm and MediaTek.

They have NOT bought Scalado, instead they're taking 50-60 people and their IP.ReplyDelete
From Engadget:
"Nokia is not acquiring Scalado AB, which will continue to exist. All present customer agreements and obligations will remain with Scalado AB. The main task of Scalado AB will be to continue to work with its customers honoring existing delivery and support obligations and fulfilling any and all obligations in relation to its existing customers. It will not be seeking new work with existing or new customers.
What Nokia is acquiring is all of Scalado's technologies and IP, along with 50-60 talented mobile imaging specialists from Scalado; they'll remain in Lund which will become a key site for us in mobile imaging, alongside Espoo and Tampere in Finland. This will enable Nokia to expand beyond capturing just images to capturing moments and emotions that can be relived in many different ways. We look forward to welcoming the team to Nokia when the transaction closes, expected in Q3."Replies
Thanks, I've changed the title. The text in the posts states it correctly though.Delete

Hey everyone! Osei here, just to talk about Extra Life a little, like I did on the show…and Twitter…and Facebook…and anywhere I have some influence.
If you weren't already aware, this is the week leading up to the Extra Life Marathon on the 7th! This is, of course, the big day that many gamers choose to do marathon gaming sessions in order to raise funds. I'm no different. However, this year I have decided to do a stream daily (over on my channel at Twitch) in an attempt to raise a little more awareness of this year's charity event.
After all, I'm only halfway to my my goal of $500, so every bit of effort counts!
However, I need your help. In order to increase the number of potential donations I receive, that requires that people actually watch my livestreams. It's much harder to be noticed when you have zero viewers. Even if you yourself don't want to watch me be okay at video games, perhaps you know someone who does. Sharing goes a long way to getting the word out!
Besides the coming livestream today, I will also be doing a twelve hour stream on Saturday. I hope you'll drop by for that as well as I play some Dungeons and Dragons and Left 4 Dead 2 (among others)!
As always, thank you for your support and I hope to see you around on Twitch!

|Costumes for Families
This homemade costume for families entered our 2013 Halloween Costume Contest,
A word from Sarah, the 'Minivan Stick Figure Family' costume creator:
My whole family dressed up as a stick figure family, like the decals on the backs of minivans. We even included accessories, including a briefcase for "Dad" and a soccer ball for "Little Boy". We used black clothes and long underwear and white duct tape. For the heads, we made cardboard rings covered with duct tape and attached them to black baseball hats. Our family costume was a huge hit!

I just wanted to provide an update for my original post.
Today was the third time that I took the car to a dealer shop - this time another one, and finally I was given ample information on the differences in Honda transmission design. Now I understand a little more of what is going on.
This transmission requires regular maintenance, and its performance might decrease with the temperature drop. It is due to the complex design that resembles a manual transmission to a great degree. It was Honda's method to avoid licensing fees, so they came up with their own design. It will shift gears in a more noticeable fashion compared to Toyota or other domestic vehicles - a matter of getting used to, may be more annoying for people in pursuit of mechanical perfection :)

This is my second entry to add to the original post. After a year of ownership, I have to admit that I am very disappointed. The leather seats in EX-L V6 are so uncomfortable, any long distance travel greater than 3 hours is impossible, the ride over most type of pavement is a spinal assault - likely to cause an injury to the discs over a long time.
The car gets mediocre gas mileage: only 16 mpg city and 24-26 highway.
The transmission is by far the worst component of the car, shifting is always uncomfortable because I feel every gear shift. Smooth gradual acceleration is impossible, there is no smooth power delivery. It is at its worst in cold weather; I feel as if the transmission has hiccups - the car is still under warranty at 36k miles (100k mile warranty). Whenever I take it to a dealer, they can't find an error code.
I am selling this car, no more Hondas for me.

The INTRAcel® Fractional RF Therapy is a low-downtime option to help those who are looking to reduce facial fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and laxity. INTRAcel's 49 insulated micro-needles bypass the skin surface to precisely deliver radiofrequency energy to selective skin depths. Because there is minimal damage to the skin surface, INTRAcel® has much less downtime than previous laser technologies like the fractional CO2 or Fraxel®. RF Microneedling can turn back time by treating a variety of skin care problems to restore your youthful appearance and glow.
RF Microneedling can produce new collagen and elastin, the main structural proteins found in your skin. Restoring collagen is the key to revitalizing your skin. It's the perfect treatment for tightening and firming skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars. At La Fontaine in Denver, you can get all the benefits without the downtime associated with laser resurfacing or surgical facelifts.
Intracel RF Microneedling combines radio frequency technology, microneedling and fractional treatments, all in one procedure. Tiny needles penetrate deep into the skin and heat the tissue. The treatment is very targeted, which means the surrounding tissue will not be affected, improving the time it takes to recover.
The Intracel RF Microneedling is performed in Dr. Oleszek's office. The procedure itself is relatively painless. A topical anesthetic cream will be applied to the area treated to ensure your comfort. When the procedure starts, you might feel a prickling sensation followed by a feeling of heat as the needles pass over the skin. This increases with the number of passes, but the treatment is very manageable. The treatment itself will last anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes depending on your skin care needs.
Patients can begin to feel their skin is smoother and tighter right after the first treatment. Results can vary depending on each person's skin quality and the degree of damage that needs to be treated.
Post-treatment you can expect to see tiny pinpoint bleeding which will resolve within a few minutes. For about an hour post-treatment, you may feel like you have been sunburned. This also will go away within the hour. The treated area might be red for a few hours; this is normal. Swelling is also a minor concern, especially if you've had a treatment under your eyes. You can expect it to resolve within one to two days.
Your skin quality will determine the number of treatments. Our team of professionals at La Fontaine will meet with you to discuss this during your consultation. Generally, you can expect two to five treatments to obtain maximum results.
Intracel RF Microneedling is safe; however, it is important to make sure you have a qualified doctor ensure that the different areas are treated at the correct levels.
Do your research. If you are considering Intracel RF Microneedling, make sure you are seeing an expert in that field. In the Denver area, Dr. Ken Oleszek leads a team of licensed skin care professionals who are committed to making sure you have the best experience possible. Their artistic approach to face and body enhancements will ensure you are in good hands when looking to restore your natural and youthful glow. Our warm and approachable staff focuses on minimally invasive treatments for facial rejuvenation to keep you looking your best!

Looking for the Invisible- the Abstract in South Asian Arts
Feb 25 2012
Akademi in collaboration with The Place presents an opportunity to engage in a cross-cultural, multi-disciplinary dialogue between eminent artists across the world of South Asian arts.

Many real-world domains present the problem of imbalanced data sets, where examples of one classes significantly outnumber examples of other classes. This makes learning difficult, as learning algorithms based on optimizing accuracy over all training examples will tend to classify all examples as belonging to the majority class. We introduce a method to deal with this problem by means of creating a balanced data set, which allows to improve the performance of classifiers. Our method over-samples the minority class, using a randomized weighted distance scheme to generate synthetic examples in the neighborhood of each minority example.

Chi Shih Chang, Kulicke & Soffa
The international technology roadmap for semiconductors (ITRS) focuses on the timeline of manufacturing readiness for various CMOS technologies and beyond. It is a worldwide semiconductor industries effort. ITRS 2001 highlights several packaging challenges, and adds the packaging requirements for a few new products (optoelectronics and MEMS). Pb-, Sb- and Br-free packaging materials require long term research and development efforts to solve processing and reliability issues. Cost of compatible PBGA and PWB materials for higher reflow temperature has to be addressed. There are potential benefits in improving the electromigration related current density and eliminating alpha particles in the solders.

I've experienced many times in my life when the obstacle or issue I'm facing feels just too big. It's easy in tough times to think and feel that I'm alone or the only one dealing with this kind of pain or problem. I don't think anything helps me as much as hearing other people's stories. I've written before about how much I love Story. Hearing the tales of others helps me to gain perspective, see hope and get a reminder than I am not alone.
Stories are the reason why I love I Am Second. I Am Second is a movement to inspire people to live for God and to live for others. I've been a big fan of their videos for a long time and turn to them during tough times. The stories people tell, the struggles they experienced and the lessons they learn provide hope and inspiration to many and countless others.
Here's one that resonated with me:
I Am Second has been filming and sharing the stories of individuals for a few years now. They provide hope for the hurting. Click through their website, I bet you'll find a topic that resonates with you or someone you care about.
I Am Second has many more stories to share. You can help. Commit $2 every Tuesday to build film funds and your contribution will be used to develop, produce and promote new films.
I don't share things on my blog unless I believe in them personally. I Am Second is special to me. I hope you'll check them out and watch some stories.
"Disclosure of Material Connection: I receive one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."

Andrew Joseph Russell, a captain in the volunteer infantry, became a photographer during the American Civil War. As photographer-engineer for the United States Military Railroad Construction Corps, he was assigned to photograph battlefields and campsites in Virginia. He also photographed engineering projects and contributed images to what was probably the world's first technical manual illustrated with photographs.
The Union Pacific Railroad Company later hired Russell to document the building of the transcontinental railroad, creating a visual document "calculated to interest all classes of people, and to excite the admiration of all reflecting minds as the colossal grandeur of the Agricultural, Mineral, and Commercial resources of the West are brought to view." For about two years following the celebrated driving of the last spike at Promontory Summit, Utah, on May 10, 1869, he continued to photograph the areas around the railroad and began to write dispatches about the West for Eastern newspapers. After he returned to New York, he maintained a photography studio there and never traveled West again.
