All humans need these three things: Clean air, clean water, and clean food. Everybody wants them. Everybody needs them. Sadly, the concept of a clean "environment" has become politicized and saturated with unnecessary baggage. This is the beginning of my exploration into Permaculture, a way of thinking about and designing the world in such a way that there is an abundance of those three essential parts of human life. Air. Water. Food.

Explaining Pi
One day my wife and I noticed our boy, 6 at the time, repeating something to himself while holding a dollar bill. Suddenly, he says, "I got it!" He then quoted back to us the serial number from the dollar bill without looking. That's a random 10 digit number that muh boy decided to memorize without any instruction from us. Parental pride beamed forth.
Since then I'll occasionally give the boy's hungry brain something to memorize. What better number to memorize than Pi? Pi is the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter. As far as I know its an infinite number. With the first 39 digits of pi (3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197) you can estimate the circumference of all possible circles within the observable universe within a margin of error about the size of a hydrogen atom. Pretty cool.
I set the boy to the task of memorizing as many digits of Pi as he could. He came to my office one day and got to work. I drew this symbol to explain what he was memorizing and we broke it down into chunks.
By the end of our session he memorized the first 14 digits of Pi!
After a mathematician friend complemented what I'd drawn on the board to explain Pi, I decided to digitize the sketch…
Now you can buy a shirt, and other products, with this symbol on it here: Click here to buy the shirt and other things I've designed
That feeling when you walk into a room full of floating robots…
Sketch Meditation Day 1 (WIP)
Starting a new sketching habit each day of whatever shapes or imagery feels good to my brain at the moment. This started while drawing with my kids at the kitchen table. I started feeling such a high from drawing simple things with them, that I've decided to try and make it a daily habit. Might turn some of these into vectors later and play with some ideas for art prints from them.
Anybody else keep a daily sketch journal or some kind of art meditation?
Despite all the negative news around bitcoin, I believe cryptocurrencies are the future. Bitcoin may not be the one to take off, but one of them will eventually.
Here's how I started earning bitcoins.
- Create a Wallet: I setup a digital "wallet" with Coinbase where you can save the bitcoins you've mined, or just buy and sell bitcoins directly with Coinbase. You'll need the wallet "address" to spend your bitcoins elsewhere and receive bitcoins from others. You'll also need that address to get into mining bitcoins, which is what steps 2 & 3 are about.
- Join a Mining Pool and setup a Worker: I joined the BTCGuild (no longer a thing) to increase my chances of earning bitcoins. Otherwise you'll mine for months and may not ever receive bitcoins. In a pool you're joining forces with lots of other miners and are rewarded based on how much processing power your computer contributes to the pool's efforts. You get smaller increments of coins, but you get compensated more consistently. These days I'd try something like the Bitcoin.com Pool or Slush Pool
- Setup a Miner: I installed Asteroid (no longer a thing, try this instead Mac Miner) on my Mac Pro to start mining bitcoins. Asteroid will ask you or the name of the Worker you setup in step 2. After following a few more instructions your mining bitcoins. My computer is a beast, but its easily brought to its knees when I have the miner running. Asteroid let's you throttle the mining intensity so you don't crash your computer, but be careful. If you choose to allow Asteroid to use your graphics card for mining, it may appear to freeze your computer. There are lots of devices you can buy specifically for mining that are faster than your desktop or laptop.
Each of those 3 steps takes about 5 minutes or so, but may take longer to really understand what each step is about.
*Website Developer Bonus
- TidBit – Earn bitcoins by letting your visitor's computer mine bitcoins for you while they visit your site. This will be the end of website display ads when the finish beta testing. [No longer a thing]
After about a week worth of letting my computer mine for hours everyday if earned about 0.00001497 BTC, which converts to about 0.01293 USD (2014) according to this bitcoin to USD converter. So… with my current hardware setup it would take months to earn enough to buy anything. However, if I bought some fancy but inexpensive bitcoin mining hardware I mentioned earlier, I'd be earning at a much faster rate. Either way I'll probably keep mining. I may even convert a few dollars into BTC. Given the state of the world, a multi-currency strategy couldn't hurt. Like the saying goes, "Don't throw all your babies in the egg water." Or whatever. Let me know if you try it out. Happy mining.

A key suspect in last month's deadly Bangkok blast handed the backpack bomb to a man in a yellow T-shirt later seen placing it at a busy shrine moments before it detonated, Thai police said Wednesday.
The revelation came as investigators gave their most detailed account of how the alleged network of bombers coordinated the attack, including through drop-offs and WhatsApp text messages.
Mystery still surrounds the motive of the group accused of being responsible for the August 17 bombing that left 20 people dead in the heart of Bangkok and rocked Thailand's key tourist industry.
But after appearing flat-footed in response to the unprecedented attack, police have trumpeted the arrest of two foreigners and say they have identified several other suspects.
One of the two men in custody, Yusufu Mieraili, was detained last week near the border with Cambodia and has since been quizzed by military and police investigators.
Mieraili, 25, who was holding a Chinese passport when he was caught, has admitted to playing a central role in the operation, according to police.
On Wednesday he was taken on a second re-enactment of his alleged role in the crime -- a standard police procedure.
"This is the area where he met the man in a yellow shirt to exchange the backpack," national police spokesman Prawut Thavornsiri told reporters outside a Bangkok railway station, later adding he received his orders via WhatsApp.
Local media reports have named the bomb mastermind as "Izan", saying he commissioned and guided the attack but left the country a day before it was carried out.
But Prawut refused to be drawn on details of who pulled the strings behind the blast.
He did reveal that Mieraili, whose hands were bound while he wore a bulletproof vest during the re-enactment, left a "heavy backpack" with the bomber outside the station some thirty minutes from the crime scene.
That man was seen on security footage apparently placing the same bag at the shrine and calmly walking off just before the blast.
- Acting on orders -
After making the exchange, Mieraili was ordered to wait near the shrine to take photos of the aftermath of the bomb, Prawut said.
But when he got there his view was blocked by a pillar so he left.
Police have not revealed Mieraili's nationality, although the birthplace on the passport he was found with is listed as Xinjiang -- home to China's Muslim Uighur minority and often hit by unrest.
Prawut Wednesday said they believed Yusufu's passport was genuine and that he is known to have studied chemistry and medical science, but he declined to say where.
In later comments Thailand's police chief admitted Yusufu had illegally entered Thailand multiple times through a border crossing with Cambodia.
"I cannot ignore this problem because I feel ashamed," General Somyot Poompanmoung told reporters as he called on the government to help him clamp down on corrupt border officials.
Speculation has hardened on links to China's Turkic-speaking Uighur minority, many of whom complain of religious and cultural discrimination.
Thailand deported scores of Uighurs to China early in the summer, prompting protests in Turkey where some nationalists hold a deep affinity with the minority group.
A second man identified as Adem Karadag was caught before Mieraili in a flat in a Bangkok suburb with bomb-making paraphernalia and dozens of fake Turkish passports. Arrest warrants are out for 10 others, including two people believed to be in Turkey.
Despite the mounting evidence of a possible Uighur link, Thailand's police and junta have been at pains to rule out the idea that the Chinese were deliberately targeted.
Instead police say the bombing was carried out by a criminal network motivated by revenge after a people-smuggling trade was disrupted -- a line security experts have met with scepticism.

For the longest time, Talkback has been the only good and useful screen reader on Android — though this was not always the case. Senior Android users might fondly recall Spiel, which was alive around 2011 last, a screen reader that even surpassed Talkback in functionality and speed. Google then suddenly changed the entire framework for how accessibility is done on their platform, and Spiel was no more. Although current compiled releases of it can be run successfully even under Android 5.1, the code is not often maintained and needs a lot of work to be a daily driver.
And then, without warning, a new contender came on to the scene. The 1 megabyte screen reader, which is technically called Shine Plus is developed by a Korean company called ATLab. As a result, the English text of the program and manual is not constructed well, though this does not take away from its functionality if you are willing to learn and be patient with the interface. The manual can be found here in a text file form.
You might be wondering, is it better than Talkback?
Before we dive into some of the unique features of Shine plus, we must note that it is a very special screen reader as it also includes a screen magnifier and other tools for people who have high-partial vision. This means that it not only is a screen reader, but also a magnifier at the same time. In the Android world, that's definitely a first, and this reason alone could make it useful for many people, since changing the mode it operates in is very simple.
When you first install the Shine Plus application (it does not call itself "Another Talkback screen reader"), you need to launch the application from your home screen to configure it. Here you will set your desired mode depending on the level of vision you have. First, the app will actually check whether you have Google TTS or the keyboard installed, and then will proceed to allow you the option to set your mode of preference. Once you press the back button, it will place you into the Accessibility settings of Android, where you will be given a list of available services.
The three options are "based on voice support", "based on letter expansion", and "sight protection." No, it will not protect you from the horrors of the sighted world — that latter choice is for those who need to have parts of the screen spoken outloud from time to time. It allows you to use a "candy bar" which you can pan around the screen and use to read parts of it accordingly.
Voice support is what those who are completely blind will use, while the other one (letter expansion) is for those who need letters zoomed bigger as they use their device. Once you have set your choice, enabling the screen reader is the next challenge.
We have found that in most cases, it is impossible to press "OK" after the confirmation dialog appears which asks you to turn on Shine Plus. This is easy enough to resolve, though requires some agility. When you have reached the alert prompt to enable it, Pause Talkback either through the global context menu or the new volume up+ volume down key combination. Once paused, press near the bottom right corner of the screen, right above the home/back/recents button bar of your device. This will activate Shine plus, though you are not yet done. Lock the screen to have Talkback return. Next, go back and disable Talkback to have Shine Plus function properly.
Some people have reported success with the "tripple click home" function of Shine Plus. Here, you would disable talkback and press your home button three times in quick succession to enable the service. This for us was a hit or miss on devices that do not have a physical home button– sometimes it works, other times not so. If you are using a Galaxy device however, simply disable talkback in Accessibility settings and press the home button three times.
The screen reader offers some functionality not present in Talkback. For example, you can copy the screen to the clipboard, or parts of text. The "command panel" (similar to Talkback's global menu) is feature packed with other functions. There are two interesting ones called Ear Talk and whisper. With Ear Talk, you can choose a specific detail of your phone (battery status, last message) to be spoken through your phone's earpiece when it is held to your head. Ear Talk will redirect all speech to this speaker entirely, so (in theory) it could be used in situations where you are looking for privacy but do not have headphones. In practice, it is a bit tricky to use as a touch screen element can easily be activated.
To access the command pannel, swipe right than left in quick succession. You will hear two high-pitched tones and the announcement, "command panel." Here are the options, from top to bottom, exploring the screen in a line left to right:
- Top two lines: Includes speech and volume increments (2 stage speed on first line, / 70% volume, on second, for example.)
- third line: Key echo. Notification method (Block or output all notifications), wi-fi (toggle on/off), Bluetooth (toggle on/off), cover mode (toggle on/off), speak call info, Whisper auto mode, and ear talk.
- Third line: Short key, label (for graphics), marking (seems to auto label graphics?), version information, screen auto read, screen character string (spells out item in last focus), app delete, translation.
- Fourth line – granularities: character, word, line, paragraph, default, copy, additional copy, paste.
- Fifth line: Web list, web editbox, web phone number, Web search, Youtube search, app search, voice search. These open corresponding apps on your device, such as Youtube or the Voice Search app.
- sixth line: Short key list, Shine setting, device (opens up your settings app), execute app list (opens up overview or recent apps list), sound (sound settings), Keyboard (language and input), accessibility (same as in settings.)
No doubt this list is a bit overwhelming, and for this reason Shine Plus might be useful for more advanced users or those who just want a higher degree of customization. Talkback still wins for some, because it is simple to configure, is not cluttered, and thus less complicated.
Similar to Talkback, it will tell you when you plug or unplug a power source. Scrolling is a bit problematic, because there is no proper earcon for knowing how far you are in a list — it uses the Browse Mode exit sound from the popular NVDA screen reader to indicate scrolling. This was by far the largest problem with Shine Plus, and the manual is not very clear on what each setting is about.
For users of devices that have capacitive buttons such as the Galaxy series, Shine Plus also allows you to double tap these (similar to how it would be on a nexus or soft-button based device), rather than using them with one tap. This feature, curiously, is also present in the latest Galaxy S6 as an accessibility setting. Other interesting features to note include the ability for seek controls to be raised or lowered with the volume keys (this is also now in Talkback 4.2), options to configure how the phone keypad works (and whether a swipe up on the screen will answer/end calls), configuring what notifications are read outloud, an option that unlocks your device automatically when power button is pressed (if there is no pin), and even a feature that will launch a specific application after your screen is turned on.
Could this make a good daily screen reader? That's your call. For now, this is a project worth keeping tabs on, as it could give Google's efforts a serious run if it improves right over time. If you're patient and advanced enough, go ahead, give it a try. Just be sure to re-enable talkback if you uninstall it, because without a screen reader turned on, your phone will definitely not shine.
Correction: The original article stated that the company is Chinese, when in reality they are from Korea.

The other Laser thread is mostly aimed at new products and questions relating to their development but its clear from the posts that there is demand for 'technical support' as well so I thought I would start this thread so its all in one place.

When mounting laser engines is there any preferred orientation or is alignment with the tank the only critical factor, then ergonomics of connecting the throttle linkage/exhaust position?
What is the maximum noise produced by each engine (excluding prop and airframe), e.g. is under 75db achievable?

Do what you like with it, as long as the tank is in the right place they will not give two hoots which way up they are.
75db is really quiet and not likely to be easy to get down to. We have never tested the engines for noise as we lack the testing facilities to do so and any tests we do would be meaningless as the airframe and propeller used make such a huge difference.
Its a shame the old days of kit built models with foam wings are gone as these structures used to be excellent at absorbing sound. Modern artfs are like drums and its not always easy to keep them quiet.
All that said, I would not expect you to have any trouble with nose as our engines generally have a soft sound which is not as sharp as other 4 strokes that do not use baffled exhausts.

I would get one if I stripped engines down more often I will have to stick with marigolds and elbow grease.

Would you happen to have a parts diagram for those Super tiger carbs. Been looking on line and the info is a bit lacking. I stripped down 2 carbs today due to being jammed up, 1 was due to a small spring inside the throttle body, this one was smaller than the one in 2nd carb and was jamming against the spraybar. Sorted that with a Maplins spring but have another problem with the top needle seal. Should there be a small spring and o ring seal inside the brass thumbscrew ?

Hi John,
Have you experimented with different swish bands.

Trebor, give Dave at motors and rotors a call. He might be able to help you with the ST carbs as he (and his father) were the distributor for many years. He may have more for you than that PDF shows. If all else fails I can supply new carbs for them as they are the later engine with the steel retaining clips but give the ST carbs a go first.
Bert, squish area (i assume thats what you meant?) is something we have experimented with over the years but its a balance. high compression gives good power but can make the engine less user friendly. We have set a bit of a middle ground between out and out performance and being easy to use/less fussy than some other brands when it comes to fuels and props.

Hi Jon,
I thought I'd post a shot of the "test fit of the 300v into an ESM Mig 3 cowl. Kinda sorta....
From what I can tell the 300v is very close to not needing any cutting for clearance of the jugs.
I took the Mig cowl and very carefully put it as far back on my Storch as I could I till it hit the front of the canopy which is really saying something when you consider how long and narrow the Storch nose is with the 300v hanging on there.
The end of the 300v prop shaft just lined up with the front edge of the Mig cowl so I had to center the engine within the cowl to see the clearance and it looks like there will be no cutting for the jugs. It does tapper but it looks to clear.
It doesn't look like there is an extra 12mm in there to fit the 360v.... But I'll measure more when I start ordering parts this summer.
It should be awesome with either engine
Do you think my Russian Storch would be ok at a scale event? lol

While we in the Northern Hemisphere are enjoying 80-90 degree temperatures here in the States, The Land Down Under is in the middle of another cool winter.
Not many Americans to to think about how our seasons are different from those in the Southern Hemisphere as we are busy wondering what Instagram photos from the pool or beach to post, what summer blockbuster movie to watch or what sporting event to tune in with our 200-plus channel-surfing lives.
What's so funny and ironic is that whether it's the hottest new men's magazine, Hollywood summer hit or sporting event, Americans decide to settle on, chances are an Aussie is a part of it, or even center stage.
From Hugh Jackman in the critically-acclaimed Logan, Abbey Lee Kershaw in Mad Max: Fury Road on the silver screen to the likes of the curvy plus-size model Robyn Lawley slaying on the covers of Sports Illustrated and GQ. for a country that is in the middle of it's cold season, OZ—as it is affectionately known—has a tendency of sending some hot exports abroad in the world of modeling.
Perhaps Australia's hottest new American export is Nowry-born plus-sized fashion and commercial print model, Tia Provost.
With curves in all the right places and at a towering 5'9, the dark-haired Aussie model has posed for the likes of big brands such as Target, Australian-based trendy plus-size brand City Chic, lingerie brand Panache, Yours Clothing; Ulla Popken, Bond Eye and Byron Bay-based activewear line BAY (Byron Active Yoga)
Provost, who has modeled in editorial, commercial, swim, fashion, lingerie, live TV, runway is set to follow in the footsteps of her fellow plus-sized compatriots such as Bree Warren and the forementioned Lawley, thanks to her eye-catching shape and dark and exotic look.
Below is my Q and A with Tia as we discuss Australian winters, living in Los Angeles during the summer and how to look great this season.
Name: Tia Provost
Age: 27
Height: 5'9.5
Measurements: 41.5-32-43
Birthplace: Nowra, Australia
Modeling Agency: Bella Management
Social Media Links: Twitter: @TiaProvost | Facebook: Tia Provost Official | Instagram: @tiaprovost
What kind of model do you consider yourself? (Instagram, pin-up/glamour, fashion): To be honest, I don't label myself – I am a model. Full stop. I work in editorial, commercial, swim, fashion, lingerie, live TV, runway. I don't label or pigeonhole myself into a category.
What brands have you modeled for? Which one do you enjoy modeling for the most?: A wide variety of established and new up and coming brands. For example, Target; Myer; Plus Model Mag; Body and Soul Mag; City Chic; Panache; Yours Clothing; Ulla Popken; Best and Less; Big W; Muneca; Bond Eye; BAY (Byron Active Yoga)
I love meeting new people and modeling allows me to do that. Every day is a new team and slightly different to the last. It's hard to say which one I enjoy working with the most because I have been extremely lucky with my regular clients and made some amazing relationships…I do have to give a shoutout to City Chic and Bond Eye here in Australia though – I love those teams to bits and its always such a joy to work with them!
Where has been your favorite place to shoot?: Anywhere on location! I am a massive nature lover. I feel really drawn and connected to water, calm and at peace in forests and the country. I have been extremely blessed that I got to shoot in my home town of Ulladulla for a magazine and it meant the world to me! My parents got to stop by and actually have a look at what I do, it was an amazing experience.
I went up to Byron Bay and did a shoot for BAY. We started the day on the beach and then finished at this stunning house up in the hills. I felt like I was on a nice little holiday! I've also been able to shoot at some awesome locations for City Chic campaigns. Like a night-time shoot in an abandoned train station in the middle of central Sydney, and this amazing home that had the most interesting design. I recently did a shoot in Naples as well- was in a studio but meant i could explore the city after!
What is the most exciting aspect of modeling? The travel, the chance to see amazing parts of the world that I wouldn't necessarily get to otherwise. The challenge to bring to life another persons idea. I love seeing clients faces when they look at a shot and it's their idea in front of their eyes, I love how their faces light up. Also, the fact that I get to work with amazing people and create something new and intriguing.
Since it is winter down there in Australia, what fashion and style tips and trends do you have for looking good when the temperature drops? I'm all about comfort and layers! I get hot really easily, so if I have different layers on I can control my body temp. Also I'm a firm believer that if you're comfortable in what you're wearing (and it fits you properly) then you aren't fidgeting with or adjusting your outfit, which can draw peoples attention in a negative way. You want to be able to pop on your outfit and not have to touch it again. Plus majority of the time I'm out in nature or down at the beach so I wear what's quick and easy and allows me to crawl around with my dog!
I love wearing dresses with a belt, jacket and ankle boots. Denim shorts with a loose crop/singlet top, unbuttoned shirt (that I can tie around my waist) and ankle boots. But my thongs are never far away!!! They tend to be what is always on my feet 😀
With summer here, what fashion and style tips do you recommend for look great? I'm really into crop tops at the moment with some denim shorts so I can still maneuver around easily while staying cool. I can never pass up a cute summer dress though! I am such a dress girl, long or short. I tend to pull my dress's in at the waist with a belt.
Since being in LA, I've also started to get into long maxi skirts with splits up the sides and crop tops. I tend to try and get a few key pieces that I can work into different outfits, depending on where I'm going and what the occasion is. But honestly, it also comes down to what I'll be cool and breathable in, because I get hot very easily!! When I'm buying something I look at the fabrics, and that most times can make or break a purchase for me. I find that if you throw on a cute pair of casual day heels, it can really lift and tie the outfit together – whether its super casual or not. So I have gotten into wearing some nice tan heels…although my Havi's are always close by and on my feet whenever they can be!
As always – wear what you feel comfortable in, because then you will feel amazing and look great! Never try to wear something that you're constantly having to adjust and because someone else has deemed it 'fashionable'. Dress to suit your body. Dress for you! No one else. I personally find that people 'look great' when they're are at ease with themselves.
What beachwear and swimwear trends do you see becoming big this season? I have noticed that a lot more butt is on display. The coverage has moved from the cheeks up to the lower back. There's a lot more adventure in designs, for all sizes, which is amazing! People are choosing to wear what they want instead of being told what to. I do feel an old school flavor is coming into the designs with the high cut legs, while mixing it with the modern aspect of the low cut sides and back.
What defines confidence and sexy? Well, to me being confident, without being arrogant, is sexy. Passion starts from the inside out. Be passionate about everything you do. Think of the people that you find 'sexy' or 'attractive'. What is it about that person that makes you so drawn to them?
They are charismatic, they are alright with joy and enthusiasm, they have that mischief glint in their eyes, that cheeky smile… It comes from knowing yourself. Accepting who you are on each level, not needing the validation from others. Being comfortable in your own skin, whatever shape that is.
Within the industry, who is your inspiration? –Peter Lindbergh. Every time I look at his work I feel like I'm looking at a piece of not just his soul but his muses also. I love what he did with the Pirelli calendar.
I also love Tim Walker and the visual feast he presents. There's always something new to see in his images and I love the journey you go on while gazing upon them. To work with either of them would be such an incredible experience and moment.
What is your secret to staying in shape?: It all starts from within, what you fuel your body with, lots and lots of water and sleep! I eat loads of veggies and salads (leafy greens) I am gluten free, I stay away from diary and refined sugar, and I don't drink or smoke.
I try to exercise my body when I can through yoga and body resistant exercises, but I love walking everywhere! So when I'm home ill take my dog out walking which feeds my soul with richness, being surrounded by nature and joy through watching my boy run wild.
Or if I'm in another country and time allows it I'll just walk around, that way I'm moving my body and also experiencing the place. Plus stairs stairs stairs! I will always try to choose the stairs over a lift or escalator where I can – it's great for when I'm going through airports! Allows me to stretch out my body while giving me a little hit of a workout.
Outside of modeling, what are your hobbies?: I love being in the kitchen! My dad is an amazing cook and I grew up sitting at the bench watching him create his magic. So for me getting friends over and cooking for them brings back all these memories.
Also Latin dancing! I'm not a big clubber at all, I just want to go home to bed haha, but when I go somewhere that has salsa and bachata playing and the people around me hardly speak English – I feel so at home and want to stay out all night spinning around!…my legs will be killing the next day but its so worth it! (That's also a great form of exercise!)
Travelling is a major one for me. I backpacked on and off for 3 years before I moved to London (where I started modeling) I always said that whatever I did had to allow me to travel – and I've stumbled upon my dream job! I love getting off the beaten track, to the small towns, experiencing all the different cultures out there and way of life.
What are your favorite cities to travel to?: I love Rome! It is such a beautiful city and it doesn't matter how many time I go there I fall in love with it all over again. I could easily move there. The culture, the history, the food…its such a magical place. I always have a great time in NY too as I have an amazing bunch of mates there, so its always great getting to go see them and catch up. There is also something about that city at night time, an energy, a feeling…you can see why so many people write songs about it.
What advice would you give to women aspiring to get into modeling? Test as much as you can! Get used to being in front of the camera. Digital photography shows up everything and if you are nervous, uncomfortable, not used to it – it will show! When I first got into modeling I tested as much as I could to get used to not just having a camera in my face but my body and how it moves. What works and what doesn't.
You have to have thick skin. You are coming into an industry that is all about judging you on your appearance. You will be rejected – more times then what you'll be accepted, and that's ok! You need to be able to realise that they aren't judging you personally or rejecting you personally, its about what they are looking for and you may just not fit that brief. I am extremely lucky that I can disconnect from work when I get home, and that I have an amazing support system around me in the form of friends and family that keep me grounded and looking at the bigger picture.
Stay true to you. Certain people in this industry will try to change you to fit a mold but ultimately you can only ever be the best version of yourself, and that is how you will be successful. Like everything there is good and bad. When it comes to which agency to join meet as many as you can and see who you vibe with, who you feel will work best with you.
Don't be afraid to voice any thoughts concerns or issues you have, I still ask my bookers to clarify certain things if they aren't on the brief so I can be as prepared as possible. But be ready to meet some of the most lovely, kind, caring souls out there! Majority of my closest mates are people who I have met through the industry.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The mother of a young man suspected of attempting to rob a Church's Chicken at gunpoint took her son to the police station to turn himself in on Tuesday, according to Kansas City, Mo., police.
Prior to taking her son to the police station, the woman showed restaurant employees pictures of her son on her cell phone to determine if he was the one who took part in Sunday's robbery attempt.
Police are now looking for the two other suspects who attempted to the restaurant, located at 55th and Prospect. Restaurant manager Edward Turner foiled their plans when swiped the weapon out of the gunman's hands.
Turner has been manager of the store for only 10 months. He says so far this year his store has been robbed three times, and he's tired of it.In October, the same Church's restaurant was robbed by a man with a samurai sword. Click here for that story.
Turner said the robbery -- and his decision to turn the tables on the suspects -- happened really fast. In fact, the surveillance video times out at :33 seconds from start to finish. For a moment, Turner said he was worried about what the suspects were capable of since he has a wife and two kids.
"The guy sounded experienced, real experienced, he sounded serious," said Turner. "I'm not a hero at all. I wasn't trying to be a hero. I was trying to be calm, look for an opportunity and an opportunity came and I took advantage of it."
The men, who police estimate are between 18 and 27 years of age, walked into the restaurant at about 6:20 p.m. They pulled out a black .38 revolver and demanded money.
When Turner took the gun, the suspects ran away.
"I had been talking to God about it a lot, and you just want it to stop," he said, "I'm not taking up a personal challenge with anybody. I'm like any human, I bleed and I'm capable of dying. One day I will. But we just want to bring some dignity to this area; we want to build it up, not tear it down. I encourage them to go to church and not Church's Chicken," Turner said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.

Student Living: An Honest Oadby Review
Posted by Charlotte D in History of Art on July 31, 2017
As all Leicester University students will know, Oadby, i.e. the mother-ship, is the Leicester suburb home to the majority of our University's halls. I have a lot of love for Oadby, primarily because most of my first year was spent, when not at the University itself, pottering around the various flats and other facilities there; […]

The Importance of "Omotenashi"
Posted by Katie in History of Art on July 24, 2015
Getting around Tokyo isn't exactly easy, especially for someone who has a very limited knowledge of Japanese. Officially referred to as a "metropolitan prefecture" rather than a city, Tokyo is more like a small country than anything else. The population of Tokyo is around 13 million and has a size of about 2,200 sq km. The population of the […]

Synopsis for "Squadron Supreme: New World Order"
The Squadron Supreme returns to the Earth but almost nearly dying from crashing their spaceship which left Skylark and Shape badly injured and needing medical attention. Dr. Spectrum takes the wounded Squadron members to the nearest hospital while Hyperion and Power Princess goes to Squadron City and determine the Utopia Program and Whizzer and Arcanna see to their long missed families.
However, the Squadron came to quickly realize how their world had become completely different than they had left it. The people of Earth had grown weary of the constant natural, political, and social upheavals that had plagued the world in recent years, largely because of the presence of the Squadron. Instead, they elected leaders into a "Global Directorate" with far-reaching and invasive political powers. The Directorate used the devices of the Utopia Program for themselves, creating a totalitarian government. Dr. Spectrum is forced to abandoned Shape and Skylark after his confrontation with a secret police force known as the Blue Eagles, named after their deceased namesake of the Squadron. Arcanna returned home but was ordered to stay there by Lightner, who now calls himself Mysterium. Whizzer returns to his home and find his family being taken hostage by the Blue Eagles who demands his surrender; fortunately, the Blue Eagles are quickly and thoroughly dispatched by the resistance group, the Nighthawks, who takes the Whizzer's family under their protection and are highly distrustful of the Squadron.
The Squadron regather together and are met by Mysterium, who implore the Squadron to fix what had begun by their Utopia efforts, charging them with contacting other members of their team. The Squadron recruited Amphibian, the Skrullian Skymaster (now, Skymax), and Neal Richmond, the son of Kyle Richmond, who had since taken his father's role of Nighthawk and leader of the Nighthawks. Believing that their nemesis Emil Burbank is the mastermind behind the Global Directorate, the Squadron battle their way to Burbank's location and only to discover to be a pawn to the Directorate. The Squadron rescue Burbank and return him to their new headquarters on Utopia Isle, which was left abandoned by Power Princess' people. There Nighthawk reunited Whizzer with his family and the Squadron dedicated themselves to their new role, that of freedom fighters and champions of the oppressed.

Perhaps the most recognizable piece of sculptural art in The Woodlands, "The Rise of the Midgard Serpent" by Marc Rosenthal has become an artistic icon of our community and the mascot of Woodlands whimsy. In 2010 The Woodlands celebrated the 20th anniversary of this piece.
The sculpture, originally located on the shore of Buffalo Bayou in Houston, was installed in Lake Woodlands in 1985 where it now resides welcoming visitors and newcomers as they enter The Woodlands. The story goes that Cynthia Woods-Mitchell herself selected the piece, and Mr. Coulson Tough suggested the location. At the time of installation Rosenthal was getting his CA at the Art Institute of Houston, following his BA in Fine Arts from St. Thomas downtown. Rosenthal also works with stoneware and porcelain pottery in addition to his sculptures of bronze, steel, and other media.

I bought my Sprint PCS EVDO card about a month ago. I loved the fact that no matter where I was I had internet connection, the only thing I noticed was that my speed was not as fast as I had expected. I did a little research online and found that the average connection speed using the  EVDO card from Sprint was about 630Kbps – I was connecting at 230Kbps, that's close to 4X the speed of dial up! Not what I was looking for. So I called up Sprint, after being transferred to about 4 different technical departments, I finally ran into someone who knew something about my situation. He quickly asked me to check the max speed of the connection, via the connection properties; it was set at 230Kbps – the speed I was constantly connecting at. He asked me to set it at the max (921.6Kbps), after this change I have been connecting at that speed constantly.
The technician that solved my problem explained that the Sprint PCS Connection software, when installed sets the default max speed to about 230Kbps. So for those of you who have the card and have not made changes to the default connection settings; please follow the steps below to unleash your cards' true speed potential. As always comments/suggestions are  welcome.
Click on the pic tutorial link to view the guide ->Â
1. Go to Start > Connect To > Sprint PCS – Your Card Manufacturers Name (In my case it's the Novatel Wireless card).
2. A dialog box will open with the current status of the connection. Click on Properties.
3. Another dialog box opens, make sure you are in the General tab, click on the Sprint card installed and click on Configure directly below.
4. A dialog box will open with several settings, click on the Maximum Speed drop-down menu and select 921600, click OK.

A huge contingent of ministers, MPs and MLAs from the Telangana region led by Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Damodara Raja Narasimha arrived at the AP Bhawan to celebrate the much awaited announcement on the new state.
Even as "Jai Telangana" slogans rent the air, 'ladoos' were distributed and a sense of happiness and triumph was writ large on the faces of supporters of Telangana at the AP Bhawan that became the centre of celebrations.
Speaking to reporters, Narasimha said it was a historic day in the annals of the Telangana struggle.
"It is a struggle of six decades in which hundreds of youth have sacrificed their lives for the sake of Telangana," he said.
Stating that it was a struggle for "self-identity, self-respect, and self-rule", Narasimha said the people of Telangana thanked Congress President Sonia Gandhi and the CWC for getting the resolution passed.
AP Panchayat Raj Minister K Jana Reddy thanked the leaders and martyrs who struggled for the creation of Telangana. He expressed hope that both Telangana and Andhra would work in a spirit of cohesion for the development of both the states.
State government's chief whip Venkatramana Reddy said it was the happiest day in the lives of the people of Telangana.
Members of Parliament V Hanumantha Rao and Ponnam Prabhakar, and state ministers DK Aruna and Sunita Lakshma Reddy were among the leaders of the Telangana region who participated in the celebrations at the AP Bhawan.
Andhra Pradesh CM Kiran Kumar Reddy, who is opposed to the bifurcation of the state, left for Hyderabad just before the celebration began.

While many people consider milk thistle to be a noxious weed, this humble herb can be used for a number of medicinal purposes. People have used milk thistle to treat liver problems and other illnesses for centuries.
Identifying Milk Thistle
Like most thistles, milk thistle flowers have purple petals extending from a bulb-shaped base. Milk thistles, however, have distinctive white veins on shiny deep green leaves and produce a milky liquid when damaged.
Liver Enzymes
Over-consumption of alcohol can raise liver enzymes, causing liver damage. Studies have shown that a compound called silymarin found in milk thistle can help lower these enzymes, sometimes within days. As a result, patients whose livers have alcohol-related liver damage can often regenerate their livers by taking milk thistle supplements.
Other Liver Problems
In addition to lowering liver enzymes, the silymarin in milk thistle is also used to treat viral hepatitis, and it is used as an antidote for animals and humans poisoned by the "death cap" mushroom.
Cancer Treatment
In addition to treating liver disease, recent studies by the Columbia University Medical Center indicate that silymarin may also limit liver inflammation and damage caused by chemotherapy treatment for cancer.

It's nearly summer in Maine – the season of overnight guests as friends and family come to enjoy all the state has to offer. Here are a few recipes to greet them with a different sort of morning rise and shine.
The bourbon pecan bread pudding is a decadent, special occasion breakfast that can be made ahead and popped in the oven the following morning. It's smooth, creamy and deliciously sinful.
The banana nut muffins with streusel are a more sedate go-to muffin, unless of course that bowl of cereal and milk are your standards, and then the muffins are a little change of pace.
Ginger coconut granola is a special cereal. We have it with yogurt, top muffins with it and sometimes combine it with some nuts and chocolate chips for a different trail mix snack.
This recipe was given to me by a guest, and it has become one of our weekend favorites. Sometimes I pull it out for special brunches or a holiday morning as well. This bread pudding can be served warm or at room temperature, so it's perfect for when guests will wake to a morning of leisure and no plan and wander down to breakfast (or brunch … or lunch) when they are ready.
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter melted
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup chopped pecans
8 ounces stale French bread (or stale homemade bread) sliced diagonally, 1-inch thick
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except the French bread. Place the bread in the bowl, pressing down to soak all of the pieces. Let stand for 30 minutes, turning once to make sure the liquid is evenly distributed. Once bread is saturated, transfer the bread onto a lightly greased baking sheet with sides. Pour the custard over the top. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the custard is just set and top is brown.
Warm bourbon sauce:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
3 tablespoons half and half
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup bourbon
Makes 11/2 cups
Combine sugar, butter and half and half in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly with a whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved. In a small bowl whisk the egg yolk. Add a tablespoon of the hot sugar and butter mixture and whisk. Add another tablespoon and whisk again. Continue until the outside of the small bowl is warm and the mixture is fairly liquid. Add the egg yolk mixture to the remaining sauce in the sauce pan and blend well over low to medium heat until the sauce thickens. Add the bourbon to taste and serve warm over the custard.
These muffins are a perennial favorite in my house and often asked for. Now, if my girls would just stop eating all of the bananas, I'd be able to make a batch.
Makes 12 muffins
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
4 ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, butter and flour with a pastry knife.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line one 12-muffin tin.
In a small bowl, pour the lemon juice and buttermilk over the mashed bananas; set aside. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, butter and eggs until fluffy. Stir in the banana mixture.
Measure the dry ingredients into a sifter and sift on top of the sugar/banana mixture. Add the walnuts and, beginning in the center, mix the two layers together, scraping down the sides and stopping when fully incorporated.
Transfer the batter to the muffin tin, portioning equally. Top with the streusel mix and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes clean when poked into the center of a muffin. Cool slightly in the pan before removing.
Makes 12 cups
1 cup honey
1/2 cup canola oil
8 cups whole rolled oats
4 cups large flake coconut
3/8 cup minced crystallized ginger
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons coconut extract
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Heat the honey and oil together in a small saucepan. Add coconut extract. In a large bowl, add all of the dry ingredients and toss all together with the warm honey and oil. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the color has changed to a golden brown, stirring occasionally. Let cool completely. Store in an air tight container.

UN Independent Expert On Promotion Of Democracy Calls On Governments To Stop Persecuting Whistleblowers
from the take-that dept
Alfred de Zayas, who is the UN's "Independent Expert on the promotion of a democratic and international order" has put out quite a statement in support of President Obama's decision to commute Chelsea Manning's sentence. But de Zayas didn't stop there. He went on to point out that the US government and other governments have been persecuting many other whistleblowers around the world, including Ed Snowden and Julian Assange, and that should stop:
I welcome the commutation of sentence of Chelsea Manning and her forthcoming release in May. There are, however, many whistleblowers who have served the cause of human rights and who are still in prison in many countries throughout the world. It is time to recognize the contribution of whistleblowers to democracy and the rule of law and to stop persecuting them.
I call on Governments worldwide to put an end to multiple campaigns of defamation, mobbing and even prosecution of whistleblowers like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, the Luxleakers Antoine Deltour and Raphael Halet and the tax corruption leaker Rafi Rotem, who have acted in good faith and who have given meaning to article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights on freedom of expression. Whistleblowers who are serving prison sentence in many countries should be pardoned.
Whistleblowers are human rights defenders whose contribution to democracy and the rule of law cannot be overestimated. They serve democracy and human rights by revealing information that all persons are entitled to receive. A culture of secrecy is frequently also a culture of impunity. Because the right to know proclaimed in article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights is absolutely crucial to every democracy, whistleblowers should be protected, not persecuted.
The statement goes on for a few more paragraphs and concludes:
It is time for this abnormal and inhuman situation to end.
Of course, this kind of statement will mostly be ignored by those in power -- and where not ignored, it will likely be mocked or attacked. But it is an important and useful statement. In the hype and buzz around these individuals, the underlying facts often get buried. But it remains the case that the individuals de Zayas named have focused on revealing to the public important information that powerful people have tried to keep secret, often exposing massive government overreach or outright lies.

I feel I should make a post now. I had my results come and I passed! Woo!
My WiiU's on the way. I can't wait for it. I hope it comes before I have to go so I can get the update of doom started.
As for tomorrow, I was only due to go see Madina and get ZombiiU (and a Who dvd from CEX), but I won a Kerrang comp to an accoustic set so I'm off to that! Since I'll be there early I may also go and see Skyfall. I've heard it's good. I hope it's better than the other Daniel Bond films.
Ayway thoe are the main things I wanted to ramble out, which are fairly important so.

Correct Answer: BDF
Which protocol verifies connectivity between two switches that are configured with IP addresses in the same network?
Correct Answer: A
Refer to the exhibit. Host B has just been added to the network and must acquire an IP address. Which two addresses
are possible addresses that will allow host B to communicate with other devices in the network? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: BC
The IP address of host B must be in the range of 192.168.10.32/28 subnet, which ranges from 192.168.10.32 to
192.168.10.47 (Increment: 16), except the IP addresses of 192.168.10.32, 192.168.10.46 (which are the network and
broadcast addresses of the subnet), 192.168.10.33, 192.168.10.34 (which have been assigned to the interface\\'s router
and the switch). Therefore, there are only two IP addresses of 192.168.10.38 and 192.168.10.46.
Which component of a routing table entry represents the subnet mask?
A. routing protocol code
B. prefix
C. metric
D. network mask
Correct Answer: D
IP Routing Table Entry Types
An entry in the IP routing table contains the following information in the order presented:
Network ID. The network ID or destination corresponding to the route. The network ID can be class-based, subnet, or
supernet network ID, or an IP address for a host route.
Network Mask. The mask that is used to match a destination IP address to the network ID.
Next Hop. The IP address of the next hop.
Interface. An indication of which network interface is used to forward the IP packet.
Metric. A number used to indicate the cost of the route so the best route among possible multiple routes to the same
destination can be selected. A common use of the metric is to indicate the number of hops (routers crossed) to the
Routing table entries can be used to store the following types of routes:
Directly Attached Network IDs.
Routes for network IDs that are directly attached. For directly attached networks, the Next Hop field can be blank or
contain the IP address of the interface on that network.
Remote Network IDs.
Routes for network IDs that are not directly attached but are available across other routers. For remote networks, the
Next Hop field is the IP address of a local router in between the forwarding node and the remote network.
Host Routes.
A route to a specific IP address.
Host routes allow routing to occur on a per- IP address basis. For host routes, the network ID is the IP address of the
specified host and the network mask is 255.255.255.255.
Default Route.
The default route is designed to be used when a more specific network ID or host route is not found. The default route
network ID is 0.0.0.0 with the network mask of 0.0.0.0.
Which condition is most important to support the use of syslog messages for troubleshooting?
A. Messages are logged to a UNIX-based server.
B. The router has a large internal buffer space.
C. NTP is in use to ensure accurate timestamps.
D. Messages are logged to a Cisco UCS Server.
Correct Answer: C

Some designs will have different groups of respondents answer alternate versions of the questionnaire that present the questions in different orders and reverse the orientation of the endpoints of the scale (for example: agree on the right and disagree on the left). The purpose of such questionnaire variations is to:
A. Eliminate intentional misrepresentations.
B. Reduce the effects of pattern response tendencies.
C. Test whether respondents are reading the questionnaire.
D. Make it possible to get information about more than one population parameter using the same questions.
100-105 dumps Correct Answer: B

100-105 vce Correct Answer: A
Ben is the project manager of the NHF Project for his organization. Some delays early in the project have caused the project schedule to slip by nearly 15 percent. Management would like Ben to find a method to recoup the schedule slippage and to get the project back on track. Management is risk- adverse with this project. Which of the following methods should Ben avoid to recoup the project time?
A. Crashing
B. Fast tracking
C. Critical chain methodology
D. Adding lead time
Correct Answer: B
Of all the choices, Ben should avoid fast tracking, as it allows complete phases of the project to overlap, and this increases project risks. Management wants to avoid risks, so fast tracking would not be helpful. Fast tracking is a technique for compressing project schedule. In fast tracking, phases are overlapped that would normally be done in sequence. It is shortening the project schedule without reducing the project scope.
Answer option A is incorrect. Crashing adds people and costs but is relatively safe in regard to risks. Answer option C is incorrect. Critical chain is not a schedule compression technique and would not necessarily help the project get back on schedule. Answer option D is incorrect. Lead time, similar to fast tracking, can increase project risks; however, fast tracking is more risky than lead time. Lead time allows individual activities to overlap, while fast tracking allows entire project phases to overlap.
Laura is the project manager for her organization and management has requested her to create a report on her project's performance. Laura needs to analyze her current project performance and then compare it against what, in order to create a performance report?
A. Cost variances and Cost Performance Index
B. Scope baseline
C. Performance measurement baseline
D. Schedule variances, planned value, and the Schedule Performance Index
100-105 exam Correct Answer: C
The performance measurement baseline, which can be comprised of cost, scope, and schedule, is the foundation for creating a performance report. Answer option B is incorrect. The scope baseline will only reflect the performance of the scope, whereas
performance reports typically need scope, time, and cost as its foundation. Answer option A is incorrect. Cost variances and the cost performance index are cost values that must be considered along with the scope performance and schedule performance. Answer option D is incorrect. Only reporting performance on the schedule is not enough for a performance report. Laura should also report on scope and cost at a minimum.
Which of the following documents captures and defines the work activities, deliverables, and a timeline that a vendor will execute against in performance of work for a customer?
A. Project charter
B. Scope of statement
100-105 dumps Correct Answer: C
A statement of work (SOW) is a document that captures and defines the work activities, deliverables and timeline that a vendor will execute against in performance of work for a customer. Detailed requirements and pricing are usually specified in it, along with many other terms and conditions. SOW is a narrative description of products or services to be supplied by the project. For internal projects, the project initiator or sponsor provides the statement of work based on business needs, product, or service requirements. For external projects, the statement of work can be received from the customer as part of a bid document. Answer option B is incorrect. Scope of statement gives the narrative description of the project scope. Answer option A is incorrect. Project charter is a document that formally authorizes a project manager to work on a project. Answer option D is incorrect. WBS is a tool that defines a project and groups the project discrete work in a way that helps organize and define the total work scope.

The Fusion Speed Suit is designed with the Long Distance triathlete in mind, but is equally versatile for all distances. The shorts and back section of the suit is made from LYCRA® POWER™ A certified compressive fabric made to enhance performance by reducing muscle vibration. A more flexible and lighter LYCRA® material is used on the front torso panels for breathability and comfort.
The sublimated band gives the product a deeper leg and arm gripper area. Although it does not use any gripper material the fit is extremely aerodynamic and all branding is placed on these areas.
In the event of a non wetsuit swim the Speed Suit is still okay to wear. You must roll down the top half and we suggest putting it under your swim skin. The when you remove the swim skin, pull up the suit as you run through T1.
For sizing we advise that you purchase the same size suit as power triathlon tights that fit. Please contact us if you are still unsure of sizing.
