Blend and Rename layers Photoshop CS6
Blending and renaming layers
In the next few movies, we'll be working with this document here. This document is the beginning of a creative project from one of my other training movies. Yet here what we're going to focus in on is how we can work with layers inside of Photoshop CS6. In particular, in this initial movie we're going to take a look at how we can do some blending, how we can use those Blend If sliders, and also how we can more effectively rename our layers. Well, let's start off by taking a look at the layers in this document. You'll notice we have a number of different layer groups.
The group that I want to focus in on is this one, Creative Adjustments. So go ahead and click on this triangle icon in order to expand that layer group. One of the top layers is titled dandelion. I'll go ahead and turn on the visibility of this layer and then target it, and what I want to do is I want to blend this in into the background. There are a number of different ways to do this. One of the techni...

The present invention relates to hair curlers for permanent hair waving and, in particular, to curlers used in spiral-type permanent hair waving.
FIG. 1 shows a prior art "chopstick" type curler 10 used in spiral permanent hair waving, which is typically performed by professional hair stylists. Chopstick curler 10 is characterized by a pair of substantially smooth slightly tapered rods 12a and 12b that are interconnected at their respective narrow ends 14a and 14b by a flexible circular loop 16.
A base end of a patron's lock or strand of hair is slid between rods 12a and 12b and past a releasable opening 18 in circular loop 16 formed by ends 14a and 14b. The strand of hair is then wrapped around a selected one of the rods 12a and 12b along a spiral path 20 (shown in phantom around rod 12a). The strand is nominally held in place by wrapping a rubber band (not shown) under tension around the distal ends 22a and 22b of respective rods 12a and 12b. The hair stylist then applies a permanent wave chemical or solution to the strand of hair in a manner known to those skilled in the art.
Although it is commonly available, chopstick curler 10 suffers from at least three major disadvantages. First, chopstick curler 10 is relatively uncomfortable for the patron because circular loop 16 tangentially contacts the patron's head. Since the strand of hair is typically wrapped around the curler relatively tightly, an uncomfortable amount of pressure can be exerted against a relatively small region of the patron's head.
Second, chopstick curler 10 is relatively difficult to use because the hair stylist must pass the patron's strand of hair between rods 12a and 12b for each revolution of the strand around the selected rod, thereby requiring a great deal of patience or skill on the part of the hair stylist. Finally, the substantially smooth nature of rods 12a and 12b allows the strand of hair to slide along them even after distal ends 22a and 22b are secured with a rubber band. Since the appearance of a spiral-type permanent hair wave is dependent upon the pitch of the spiral path of the hair along the curler, slippage of the hair can change the pitch of the spiral path and produce undesired nonuniformities in the appearance of the permanent hair wave.
An object of the present invention is, therefore, to provide a hair curler for use in spiral-type permanent waving.
Another object of this invention is to provide such a hair curler that is relatively easy for a hair stylist to use.
A further object of this invention is to provide such a hair curler that is relatively comfortable for a patron.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide such a curler about which a strand of hair can be securely wrapped with a selected pitch or variety of pitches.
A preferred embodiment of the hair curler of the present invention includes a single rod along the length of which are multiple radially projecting cylindrical posts positioned alternately on opposite sides of the rod. The posts are of the same length and are spaced-apart uniformly along the length of the rod. An interior post located on one side of the rod bisects the distance between adjacent posts located on the opposite side of the rod. Each post has a free end in the shape of a spherical knob.
An eyelet formed by an elliptical loop is positioned at one end of the rod. The eyelet has a flat major side that is substantially parallel to a major axis of the loop, the major axis being transverse to the length of the rod. The loop includes a closed end positioned on one side of the rod and a flexible finger positioned on the opposite side of the rod, thereby forming an inlet to receive a base end of a strand of hair.
A clip is positioned at the opposite end of the rod from the eyelet for releasably holding the distal end of the strand of hair after it is wrapped around the curler. The clip is formed by a pair of flexible fingers extending along the length of the rod. One of the flexible fingers is substantially smooth and is positioned opposite an undulate side of the other flexible finger.
To use the hair curler, a hair stylist wraps a patron's strand of hair around the rod and between the posts along a selected spiral path. The single rod allows the strand of hair to be wound onto the curler in a relatively easy manner. The posts prevent hair from inadvertently sliding along the length of the rod and thereby allow the strand of hair to be wrapped securely around the curler with a selected pitch or variety of pitches.
The flat major side of the loop distributes over a relatively large area most of the pressure that the curler exerts against the patron's head. In addition, the spherical knobs on the free ends of the posts have relatively large radii of curvature that distribute over correspondingly large areas any pressure exerted by the posts against the patron's head. The curler of the present invention is, therefore, relatively comfortable for the patron.
Additional objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram of a prior art permanent wave curler of the chopstick type.
FIG. 2 is a diagram of a hair curler of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the lines 3--3 in FIG. 2.
FIGS. 4A and 4B are fragmentary diagrams showing alternative clip arrangements compatible with the hair curler of FIG. 2.
FIG. 2 is a diagram of a curler 30 of the present invention used primarily in spiral-type permanent hair waving. Curler 30 includes a single rod 32 that has multiple radially projecting cylindrical posts 34a and 34b positioned alternately on opposite sides of rod 32 along its length.
Posts 34a and 34b lie within a common plane 36 (FIG. 3) and are perpendicular to a longitudinal axis 38 that lies within plane 36 and extends along the length of rod 32. Posts 34a and 34b are of the same length and are spaced-apart uniformly such that an interior post located on one side of the rod is positioned medially of next adjacent posts located on the opposite side of rod 32. In a preferred embodiment, an interior post on one side of rod 32 bisects the distance between next adjacent posts on the opposite side of rod 32.
Each of posts 32a and 32b includes a base end 40 terminating at rod 32 and a free end 42 in the shape of a spherical knob 44 having a radius greater than that of the post. Rod 32 has a substantially elliptical cross-section (FIG. 3) with a major axis aligned with plane 36.
An eyelet 56 formed by a substantially elliptical loop 60 is positioned at a first end 58 of rod 32. Loop 60 has a major axis 62 that is substantially parallel to a flat major side 64 located on a side of loop 60 opposite rod 32. Major axis 62 of loop 60 is substantially perpendicular to longitudinal axis 38 and lies within plane 36. Loop 60 preferably has a circular cross-section in a plane parallel to axis 38 and perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 2, and includes a closed end 66 that is positioned on one side of rod 32. A flexible finger 68 is positioned on an opposite side of rod 32 and forms an inlet 70 through which a base end of a patron's strand of hair (not shown) is passed into eyelet 56.
A clip 74 is positioned at a second end 76 of rod 32 for releasably securing to curler 30 a distal end of the strand of hair after it has been wrapped around the curler. Clip 74 includes a pair of flexible fingers 78a and 78b that extend along the length of rod 32 and have knobs 80 on their free ends. Flexible finger 78a is substantially smooth and is positioned opposite an undulate side 82 of flexible finger 78b. Knob 80 on flexible finger 78 is aligned with a recess 84 in undulate side 82 to releasably close the free end of clip 74.
To use curler 30, a hair stylist passes the base end of a patron's lock or strand of hair past flexible finger 68, through inlet 70, and into eyelet 56. The strand of hair is then wrapped around rod 32 and between posts 34a and 34b along a selected spiral path 88. It will be appreciated that spiral path 88 shown in FIG. 2 is one of many possible spiral paths that may be formed along curler 30. For example, spiral paths of different fixed or varying pitches can be formed by wrapping the strand of hair around selected ones of posts 34a and 34b. As a result, curler 30 provides a great deal of versatility in controllably varying the appearance of a spiral permanent wave.
The strand of hair is typically wrapped around curler 30 relatively tightly, which can cause it to exert a noticeable amount of pressure against the patron's head. Flat major side 64 of loop 60 distributes this pressure over a relatively large area on the patron's head, thereby making curler 30 relatively comfortable for the patron. Similarly, knobs 44 and 80 distribute over relatively large areas pressure exerted by posts 34a and 34b and flexible fingers 78a and 78b against the patron's head.
Curler 30 is preferably manufactured as an integral, molded plastic device that is substantially rigid but sufficiently resilient to accommodate the releasable action of flexible fingers 68, 78a, and 78b. A set of curlers 30 for spiral-type permanent hair waving would typically include, for example, about thirty curlers in each of three sizes to accommodate different lengths of hair or to vary the appearance of a spiral permanent wave. Curlers of different sizes would typically have rods of different lengths, different diameters, and different numbers of, or spacings between, the posts. A typical spiral-type permanent wave would employ approximately twenty-four curlers.
FIGS. 4A and 4B show alternative clips 90a and 90b, respectively, that each employs an elongated removable tubular cuff 92 that encircles second end 76 of rod 32. Cuff 92 includes a split 94 along its length and is sufficiently resilient that rod 32 can be passed through split 94. In addition, cuff 92 includes multiple spaced-apart perforations 96.
Cuff 92 holds the extreme distal end of a strand of hair against the curler, thereby allowing the permanent wave to extend to the extreme distal end. Without cuff 92, the extreme distal end of a strand of hair sometimes hangs free of the curler and must be cut away because it would not be curled by the permanent wave. Such trimming of a patron's hair is undesireable if the hair is already of a desired length. Perforations 94 allow the permanent wave chemical or solution to pass through cuff 92 to the extreme distal end of the strand of hair.
In FIG. 4A, clip 90a includes an opposed pair of flexible fingers 78a and 78b that are encircled by cuff 92. Flexible fingers 78a and 78b cooperate with cuff 92 to hold the strand of hair to the curler and to wrap the extreme distal end of the strand around the curler. In FIG. 4B, end 76 of rod 32 is in the shape of a single substantially smooth rod that is encircled by cuff 92. In clip 90b, cuff 92 alone holds the strand of hair to end 76 of rod 32 and wraps the extreme distal end of the strand around the curler.
It will be obvious to those having skill in the art that many changes may be made to the details of the above-described preferred embodiment of the present invention without departing from the underlying principles thereof. For example, knobs 44 on posts 34a and 34b could be of hemispherical shape that is defined by a radius that is substantially the same as that of the posts.

Feds Prepare $50 B in Energy Deals
The Energy Department may soon announce a plan for new contracts which agencies can use to finance up to $50 billion in energy-savings investments over the next decade, Federal Times reports.
Under the Energy Department's Super Energy Savings Performance Contracts (Super ESPC) program, about 10 contractors are expected to get the new deals.
Some benefits of the new contracts:
— Eliminates the regional barriers in existing ESPCs in favor of national and international contracts.
— Expands the number of contractors eligible to do business.
— Extends the maximum payback period for projects from 20 years to 25 years.
— Increases the maximum amount of business that can go to individual companies from $750 million to $5 billion.
— Allows for energy savings projects to be funded with no upfront investment by agencies. Contracts pay for the upgrades and then are paid back over a period of years using a portion of savings that agencies realize from reduced energy bills.
Six companies currently have Super ESPC contracts: Honeywell International, Johnson Controls Government Systems, Noresco, Ameresco Solutions, Constellation Energy Projects and Services Group, and Chevron USA. Only Honeywell and Noresco are qualified to do business in all regions.

Cabbage Juice Fights Fungus
July 4, 2014
Article's tools:
Polish scientists have used cabbage juice to produce an environmentally-friendly replacement for synthetic pesticides.
Cabbage contains active substances that have fungicidal and bactericidal properties, the scientists say. These substances inhibit the growth of parasites and repel herbivores.
It is enough to squeeze juice from the vegetable and separate these substances. The preparation obtained in this way can be used to protect plants and fruit. It is as effective as chemicals used for this purpose, according to scientists from the Industrial Chemistry Research Institute in Warsaw and their colleagues from the Faculty of Chemistry at the Gdańsk University of Technology in the northern city of Gdańsk, and the University of Agriculture in the southern city of Cracow.
The scientists teamed up to work together on a cabbage concentrate with fungicidal and bactericidal properties. The project took three years and yielded a non-toxic preparation that can replace synthetic pesticides used in crop protection, the researchers say.
According to Irena Grzywa-Niksińska from the Industrial Chemistry Research Institute in Warsaw, the preparation can also be used to soak seeds before sowing. This will make the seeds more resistant to fungi. Another application of the preparation is for protecting fruit during transport and distribution. Today chemicals are most commonly used for this purpose.
The preparation can also be used as a disinfectant to destroy fungi in warehouses, slaughterhouses, hospitals and swimming pools. Its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties will also come in handy in papermaking technology for the production of packaging paper to protect food from high temperatures and humidity.
"We also plan to work with cosmetic companies because antibacterial preparations are used in cosmetics," says Grzywa-Niksińska.
The substances with fungicidal and bactericidal properties that are found in cabbage include glucosinolates and the products of their decomposition—isothiocyanates and indoles. These substances are also found in other cruciferous plants, such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli and kale.
"However, we have checked that the richest source of these is the variety of white cabbage that can most often be found in Polish fields," says Grzywa-Niksińska.
Active substances are essential for plants to repel pests that feed on them. But these substances are present in plants in very small quantities. The scientists have found a way to isolate these substances from cabbage in large quantities in concentrated form and have developed a fungicidal and bactericidal preparation from them. First they squeeze juice from the cabbage and then isolate biocidal compounds from the juice.
Only 800 ml of juice can be squeezed from a kilogram of the vegetable. Therefore many cabbage heads are needed to obtain adequate amounts of the compounds.
Cabbages contain active substances called glucosinolates. When the plant is attacked by pest or when chemical contaminants reach it from the soil, glucosinolates decompose into bactericidal and fungicidal isothiocyanates and indoles. Their biocidal efficacy is comparable to that of synthetic pesticides.
The preparation won a medal at the IWIS International Invention Show in Warsaw last year. It is already patented and talks are in progress with potential licensees to produce it on an industrial scale.
The research was conducted as part of the "Using white cabbage for the purposes of soil phytoremediation and biofumigation" project completed in 2013 under the European Union's Innovative Economy 2009-2013 Operational Programme.

Holding up well a month in under my dining room table. The color was a little off from the picture (more of a lighter wood color), but it looks great! You may want to let it air out the first day before putting it in your house--the wood smell was quite strong.Read More
The picture shows the rug to be a mossy or fern green, the rug has no green in it whatsoever. It's brown. Not what I was expecting but still turned out to be great for me. Don't be fooled thinking this is a fiber rug made of bamboo, it is thin bamboo slats stitched together. Looks fantastic on my tile floor but, as suggested by other reviewers. would not look good on a wood floor. We'll see how it holds up over time. It's not in a high-traffic area, but the table and chairs sitting on it are heavy wrought-iron framed and it will have to endure my son and his friends pushing those around on it. Overall, I'm very pleased with the look, especially for the price.Read More
This is much more beautiful that this dull picture tells. It is a rich redish polished wood look. I disagree that it is not for a wood floor. I have it in a kitchen on a honey wood new floor and it is a stunning compliment. yes the room has various wood and red orange brown tones so it may have the advantage of pulling all the colors together. IT IS beautiful!Read More
I purchased this for a small room, its a great rug, but I wouldn't buy it again, I have wood floors and this is like a wood overlay, I should have gotten a regular rug, but thats not the fault of the bamboo rug, just not what I was looking for. my nephew dropped a hammer on it and cracked the bamboo in one area.Read More
The only disappointment is that the manufacturer place the label for this product on the actual bamboo which was hard to remove.Read More
Great quality,size ,price overall ordering experienceRead More
I bought this for my kitchen and I love it! Exactly what I expected, easy to clean, and looks great. Super fast shipping as well.Read More
First of all, the color didn't look anything like the photo. Even though the description says 'wood-tone', we tend to remember what we see more than what we read, hence setting the wrong expectations. Secondly, bamboo is supposed to be a pretty hard wood (my bamboo floor is ******hard), but this isn't and can easily be dented. I didn't bother to go through the hassel of sending it back since it didn't cost very much.Read More
I thought the rug was a bamboo fabric that was a wood color but turns out its actual bamboo that looks like wood flooring. The rug looks stupid on a wood floor. Would be nice on tile or rug.Read More
