Invention Factory Featured on Cable News
POSTED ON: January 5, 2015
The Invention Factory, a six-week intensive summer program where Cooper students must conceive, design and build a potentially-patentable invention, has been featured on Time Warner Cable's broadcast and online series It Ain't Rocket Science. The cable series focuses on education in the science, technology, engineering and math fields. The series has previously featured the annual middle school outreach program organized by students of the Albert Nerken School of Engineering.
Participants in the 2014 Invention Factory appear on camera, including students Eric Nguyen, Jessica Gabriella Marshall and Professor Alan Wolf, co-founder of the program. "It's rewarding seeing all of your work come into fruition, not because of a number or a test score," Eric Nguyen says. The piece reveals that last year's participating students will be pitching their inventions to representatives of Quirky.com, an invention facilitator, in March.

Krychele: Gorgeous Hiker Booties for Fall
Wife, mama, and body positive fashion blogger Krychele hits up the beautiful Utah mountains in our new stylish hiker booties.
1 min read
"Fall fashion will always be my very favorite. I just scored this GORGEOUS pair of new boots from Cougar and I'm so pumped to tell you about them. When I first spotted them on Cougar's site, I knew that they had to come and live in my closet. I'm pretty picky when it comes to boots, but these surpassed my expectations. They are also waterproof, rated for -11°F, and are memory molded inside. Basically just heaven wrapped around your feet!"
What's your earliest memory of caring about how you dressed?
Kindergarten! Growing up I was the only girl in my family so my mom always made it really fun to go back to school shopping with me. I remember exactly what I was wearing on the first day of Kindergarten and how sad I was when I got a run in my tights on the playground!
What's the most annoying thing about clothes shopping in 2018?
Sizing is all over the place. A medium at one store is an extra small at another.
I really wish sizing was more universal across clothing brands.
What trend (that everyone loves) do you hate?
I cannot stand the 'dad sneaker' trend that's all the rage right now. They are just so bulky looking. I definitely can't get on board with them but that's the beauty of fashion, you don't have to love every single thing.
What did you wear to your last date-night?
I wore a salmon colored dress, my trusty black leather jacket, and block heels with a fun print on them. Getting dressed up for a night on the town with my husband is my favorite occasion to dress for!
What's the biggest change in the way you've shopped for clothes?
I've switched my mindset to wanting quality over quantity.
I would much rather only have a few nice pieces, then lot's of poorly made items. If you invest in your wardrobe, it'll last you a lot longer.

Tell us something about yourself that people are usually surprised to hear.
I am a huge golfer!
I even played on my high school golf team and won two state championships. It's still one of my favorite hobbies and just about the only thing I can beat my husband at.
What's the most important style item to invest in?
Definitely shoes. They don't go out of style as fast and comfort is very important. Sacrificing comfort for style just isn't worth it to me.
Invest in your shoes before any other piece in your wardrobe.

Dr. John's Fortress
Today I was featured in
so it seems only fair I feature him here and in
Dr. John is a retired pastor -- retired in the loosest sense of the word. If you stop by his blog you will quickly realize that he is still ministering. His church is cyberspace and his flock is very eclectic. The diversity of the people who flock to Dr. John says much about the man. Like Jesus, he accepts all comers. Don't take my word for it. Stop by Dr. John's Fortress and look around. The place is short on sermons and long on relationships. I am sure when God looks at Dr. John he must think:
"Well done, good and faithful servant ..."

Netflix's Chief Product Officer Neil Hunt announced a new feature for Netflix's Canadian subscribers that enables them to dramatically lower the bandwidth used by streaming.
Now Canadians can watch 30 hours of streaming from Netflix in a month that will consume only 9 GBytes of data, well below most data caps.
We made these changes because many Canadian Internet service providers unfortunately enforce monthly caps on the total amount of data consumed.
In the past, viewing 30 hours of Netflix could consume as much as 70 GBytes, if it was all in HD, and typically about 30 GBytes. While there is some lessening of picture quality with these new settings, the experience continues to be great.
Hunt also goes into detail about the new streaming settings:
We've created three settings:
- "Good" - The default setting with good picture quality and lowest data use per hour (about 0.3 GBytes/hour)
- "Better" - Better picture quality and medium data use per hour (about 0.7 GBytes/hour)
- "Best" - Best picture quality and highest date use per hour (generally about 1.0 GBytes/hour - or up to 2.3 GBytes/hour when streaming HD content)
I can see how this feature would be useful for Netflix customers in the US on capped or mobile plans. Do you think Netflix should add this feature for US customers?

Do you have those few people that you struggle to buy gifts for? This post is for you, it's my list of gifts you can give anyone. These are great gifts for people you might not know well, people you just don't know what to get, or just great gift ideas to have on hand for quick, spur of the moment gift giving. It's always great to have a couple of those tucked into your closet.
Now I say these are gifts you can give anyone, let's be honest that means ALMOST anyone. I'm not going to suggest you give your two year old niece a cutting board. I'm crazy, but I've not gone completely over the edge. Yet. But we've got a few weeks left in this Christmas season, so who knows how it will go. Anyway… these are gifts that most people would enjoy. I know I would love to get any of the gifts on the list myself!
I'm picking up a few of these to have on hand at home. Without fail, I forget to buy a gift for at least one person by mistake each year, and there is always that uncomfortable moment when someone has a gift for you and you are all like, oh, we are doing this gift exchange thing??? One of these gifts can save you! Heck, buy a few, wrap them up or gift bag them because really that's easier, and you can produce a gift in like ten seconds flat. Maybe keep some gift tags handy. And a pen. Because I would have the gift tags but not the pen to write on them. Basically don't be like me, be well prepared.
Really, who doesn't want to curl up under an oh so soft plus throw in the winter. With some hot chocolate (possibly spiked) and a cookie. Sounds lovely to me!
Do you have a Klean Kanteen? If you don't you are probably like what the heck, it's a water bottle, that's lame. No, no it's not. I LOVE the Klean Kanteen insulated water bottles. Note the INSULATED part, they come both insulated and regular. I can put ice in one at dinner time, keep it on my nightstand at night, and their is ice in it the next day. In Phoenix, AZ. In the summer. They are basically magic as far as I'm concerned.
Want to see the whole list of gifts you can give anyone? I've got you covered! CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL LIST.

I always love discovering new places.

Industry divided on FDI in media; extreme views come to the fore
Few stakeholders feel that increasing the cap from 26% to 49% will help the industry grow, others say that media is already cash rich. Some remark that this is all Govt. game play
The Arvind Mayaram Committee, which submitted its recommendations on the FDI norms to the Finance Minster, has a vital ingredient for the media industry. The panel has advised that FDI limits in information and broadcasting sector be raised.
The Committee has recommended raising the foreign investment limit from 26 per cent to 49 per cent in sectors such as print and television media (news), and FM radio.
For sectors such as broadcasting carriage services and facsimile editions of foreign newspapers, where ownership and control either by Indian or foreign nationals is not imperative, the FDI cap has been raised from the current 74 per cent to 100 per cent, as per the Committee's recommendations.
Various experts have different and extreme opinions about the suggestion made by the panel. While many broadcasters (radio and TV) support the move, some industry members are questioning the timing and susceptibility of the move.
The glass half full
Vikram Chandra, CEO, NDTV Group shared, "This step is welcome, and we are open to such norms which benefit the industry as a whole." Supporting his views further, KVL Narayan Rao, EVP, NDTV Group said, "FDI cap increase in the media sector has been in offering for a long time. This would bring more capital into the system and is beneficial for all of us."
The Government has already hiked the FDI ceiling to 74 per cent from 49 per cent in broadcast carriage services. It has been a booster to India's cable TV sector, citing the expansion of the digitised cable services in India. Currently, India is in the second phase of digitisation, expected to be completed by March 31, covering 38 cities. Till date only 25 cities have been covered.
Aswin Padmanabhan, Business Head, Big FM said, "FDI cap increase is a good opportunity for media like us to penetrate deeper into the India territories. We are in the phase of expansion and such norms would provide us capital to materialise our ambitions."
Cautious approach
Some experts predict that the recommendation given by the panel would give little returns. They are vocal about the needs of the sector to be more open first. "The media industry does not need money. They are cash rich. The most important decision to be taken in this context is the freedom and regulation crisis of the sector. Most of the media companies such as ToI, HT, DB Corp and ENI are cash rich. The cost of programming in our country is very low. The FDI would definitely give a way to expansion of operations in the sector, but the problem here is far from solved. We need better regulations in place first," said Amit Patil, Media Analyst, Angel Broking.
Few radio owners are of the view that the Government should change the basic rules of the game first and then go for FDI. They feel that radio or the FM business is not crippled because of the lag of FDI, but the regulatory norms. Auctions announced two years ago are yet to be held, while the last auction in the FM space was held in 2007. Industry experts feel that instead of opening the FDI, the Government should open the spectrum for the radio first. Secondly, broadcasting of news should be allowed on radio. The radio fraternity feels if the Committee can think of increasing the FDI cap in the sector, they should also consider news broadcasting allowance to the FM channels.
The glass half empty
"The Government is in its last year. My question is why recommend a norm like this at this juncture. Do you seriously believe that the norm would be executed before Lok Sabha polls? This is just a game play. Also, why to open the media of the country to foreign control; I understand the entertainment beat, but news is serious stuff. One should not compromise with the editorial integrity of the news by giving a stake to foreign companies. News media is a sensitive sector, and before proposing such norms, the committees must take many factors into consideration. This investment must not be routed through the automatic route, but like defense, should be scrutinised properly," said a highly placed source in the broadcasting space, on condition of anonymity.
Some experts in the print fraternity feel that many vernacular and regional newspapers in the country are small in size and may suffer due to the development. If FDI cap expansion is approved, they fear that many such small papers would be on the verge of mergers and acquisitions. Further, some may even vanish.
Although, if materialised, the FDI norms might bring more funds, which can help in expansion of some sections like radio in the small cities, but that is not enough. Although, it is a positive step in the right direction, experts feel that money is not the problem here.
Will control of the media be hampered?
Some media analysts fear that the FDI cap expansion might give a substantial weightage to foreign companies in the Indian media. KVL Narayan Rao of NDTV mentioned, "A 26 per cent cap curtails investment, but the 49 per cent cap will encourage investors and will still allow control to be with Indian company. I don't understand where the question of losing control is? The recommendations are welcome and the foreign investors would invest in robust media companies."For more updates, be socially connected with us on

If there are changes in prices for the 2018 Kia Stinger we will do an update on this article, so keep reading and following our blog Bestautorelease.Com.
2018 Kia Stinger Release Date
Introducing the all-new 2018 Kia Stinger. Kia's GT Concept Car come to life as a true Grand Touring vehicle, complete with rear- or all-wheel drive, luxury amenities, and head-turning design. Unveiled at the 2017 North American International Auto Show and on sale later this year, the Kia Stinger is more than a fastback sports sedan. It's Kia redefined.
2018 Kia Stinger Specs
Below we have summarized some of the reviews about the features of the car exterior and interior 2018 Kia Stinger. The car is expected to be a comfortable car for the ride by the community.
The 2018 Kia Stinger made a striking impression at the North American International Auto Show with two top awards. Cars.com named it Best in Show for its combination of luxury and performance in a sports sedan. It was also recognized with the EyesOn Design award for Production Car Design Excellence. The honor is awarded for the best vehicles making their worldwide debut at the North American International Auto Show.
Kia made no secret of their desire to modify the overall design of the 2018 Stinger edition to a more semi-corporate look blended with a sporty feel to suit the multiple driving options based on its engine system. From the front, the "tiger-nose," mesh-coated grill welcomes the boomerang inspired, LED headlights spreading at the front edges of the A-pillar. The 2018 Kia Stinger GT rear is characterized by its twin hood venting system separated by a neat full-length diffuser. The D-pillar is similar to the outgoing model except for a minor tweak which sees the sedan curve slightly upwards on its deck lid to give the Stinger an aggressive sport-car appearance from behind to blend with its fierce corporate look at the front.
The Stinger's styling marks a serious departure from the rest of Kia's fairly humdrum range. The brand's familiar tiger nose grille has been stretched dramatically to emphasise the new car's broad front bumper while a clutch of large angular air intakes give it a suitably aggressive appearance.
The Kia team went hard on its interior as can be seen from its lucid dashboard design. First off, an 8.0 inch LED touchscreen with TFT capabilities is strategically placed between the two front seats while most of the controls are placed towards the driver. As usual, Kia`s steering wheel bears the traditional KIA logo with some basic controls placed along the steering wheel branches. This makes driving and handling of the coupe-sedan relatively easy, unlike the outgoing model which saw most users complain of the difficulty in usage. The slightly exaggerated wheelbase is responsible for the massive rear space within the cabin which gives the passengers more than enough leg space.
The 2018 Stinger boasts of an impressive corporate-style length of 190.2 inches, width is 73.6 inches, while the 114.4-inch wheelbase. It makes it relatively larger than other sedans in the market such as the Mercedes c-class or the Audi A4 model. The coupe sedan`s compactness is made possible by its uncharacteristically lower roofline of 55.1 inches. We expected this right from the start as it would be near impossible to give off a sporty feel with everything large.
2018 Kia Stinger Engine
Take your pick of two turbocharged engines, both matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The available twin-turbo V6 engine offers over 360 horsepower for a powerful drivetrain that delivers exhilarating performance, optimized fuel efficiency, and a premium sports car feel.
Under its long hood, a 2.0-liter turbo-4 or 3.3-liter twin turbo V-6 power the Stinger. The 4-cylinder is rated at 255 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, the latter of which comes on at just 1,400 rpm. The V-6, meanwhile, comes in at an impressive 365-hp and 376 pound-feet. Kia says the V-6 will run up to 60 mph in about 5 seconds, which is quick but sounds conservative.
The Stinger will be offered with three engines a 2.2-litre diesel producing 200hp and a pair of petrol units. Cheapest to buy will be a 2.0-litre turbocharged four cylinder model producing 252hp while at the top of the Stinger tree sits a 3.3-litre V6 model. This motorway munching saloon boasts a potent 365hp thanks to a pair of turbos nestled under its long bonnet.
Thank you for reading the article on the Best Auto Release, We hope article about the 2018 Kia Stinger can be useful as your knowledge in seeing the latest automotive world today.

This book is regarded as one of the most renowned explanatory texts of al-Muwaṭṭa'—magna opus of Mālik b. Anas al-Aṣbaḥī al-Madānī, the pre-eminent Imām of Madinah. Indeed, this elucidation is regarded as offering the broadest treatment to the highest standard with the richest detail, and as such is the most acclaimed commentary on the text. The author unveiled complex gems hitherto neglected by jurists, having unlocked and unravelled their mysteries, through insightful thought and incisive mind. Not only is al-Tamhīd one of the greatest texts on comparative jurisprudence (fiqh) in all its doctrinal schools, but also a book on Prophetic traditions (ḥadīth), the science of grading narrators (al-jarḥ wa al-ta'dīl), history and biographies. Indeed, it sheds light on narrators, with successful forays into language, literature, and other disciplines.
The reader of al-Tamhīd will no doubt find an indispensable scientific encyclopaedia, and attest to its premier place among texts on Islam. Indeed, the erudite Imam al-Ḥāfiẓ Abū Muḥammad Ibn Ḥazm al-Ẓāhirī quite accurately noted: "I know no equal in its treatment of understanding Prophetic tradition, let alone any that surpass it". Al-Qāḍī 'Iyāḍ said: "Abū 'Umar authored the book, al-Tamhīd… and it is a book that none have bested in its approach".
Its author, al-Imām al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn 'Abd al-Barr al-Andalusī, requires no introduction. He spent a large part of his life gathering the content for al-Tamhīd, preparing its chapters and studies, and referring to hundreds of sources in the areas of jurisprudence, prophetic tradition, language, history, and biographies.
Professor Bashar Awwad Marouf has critically edited this seminal text, applying the latest scientific approaches. In this pursuit, he gathered many scattered manuscript copies from Morocco, Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ireland, and other countries.

Oattawa, Mar 9: Latvian skeleton legend Martins Dukurs clinched his sixth IBSF World Championships gold medal with a stunning performance in Whistler on Friday.
It was a masterclass from Dukurs who won all four runs on his way to gold in Canada setting a new track record on his second run.
So dominant was the 34-year-old that he finished with a mammoth 0.51 seconds over eventual runner-up, Russia's Nikita Tregubov, who was the Pyeong Chang Olympics silver medalist.South Korea's reigning Olympic champion Yun Sung-bin could only muster a third-place finish coming home 0.88 seconds back.
Martins' older bother, Tomass finished in fifth while this year's World Cup winner Alexander Tretyakov was down in sixth.China's Geng Wenqiang finished in 17th place from halfway's 12th, 3.26 seconds behind the leader.XINHUA-UNI

First time tried out this Sang Nyuk Noodles, the smell and taste of the soup is nice and okay to the par . It is filled up with fresh sang nyuk, liver and intestine. You can also choose the without internal part package that has meat and meatball. They do provide their homemade chillies for customer to dip it, the chilli taste still acceptable but for me not enough aromatic. I do order a cup of ice honey lemon too , total i have spend for RM12.70. The drinks is a bit pricy for me. You can tried it out if you like pork noodles.
A very classic must-eat Sabah food when you are there. Sang nyuk mian literally translated to raw meat noodle, but they do cook the meat pieces to perfection and the texture is very soft and tender, dipping them into their homemade chilli sauce, heaven in my mouth! At Ding Xiang, you can choose either noodle soup or dry noodle with pork ball and meat (RM9) or with inner parts (RM9). He prefer to have yellow noodle (pure Sabahan) while I prefer mine with mix of mee hoon and yellow noodle. When Sabahan eat sang nyuk mian, a glass of teh C (RM3) is essential for them, it is like a combination of peanut butter and jelly.

The Blue Blanket
Draped casually and prettily over the wall in my room is a large, blue Guatemalan blanket. The other day I decided to see if I could drape the blanket over the rafters and hopefully block out the view of the behemoth that lives in the rafters just beyond my loft (see previous blog). I couldn't make it work – but shortly after trying; another behemoth hit the ground running, scaring the living daylights out of me, because spiders are nocturnal! You don't usually see many in the day and you hardly ever see them moving. Like aliens, "they mostly come at night... mostly". It occurred to me afterwards that my moving of the blanket and the agitated appearance of a spider in the afternoon might be connected. Also, this morning upon waking I saw a four-incher sitting right next to the blanket.
So I have come to be of the opinion that this blanket is probably a dark and secluded, palatial spider residence. And it's in my self-designated space. So it's going to have to go.
My friend Judit recently told me a story (which I hope she won't mind me repeating – as it's a great story!) A few years ago, she and her husband took over the management of a Dive Shop in the tropics. It had been closed for a few months previously, so when they went to inspect the equipment they found whole families of spiders living in the BCDs (jackets). Their solution was to throw all the gear into the sea and then run away! She said within moments the water was full of black, hairy refugees all frantically learning to swim.
With this in mind, whilst I want the blanket gone, actually picking it up and moving it, is the last thing I want to do! I have thought of picking up one end and dropping it into the kitchen below, where I will not be able to witness the resulting exodus (especially if I am cowering strategically on the floor). But inevitably not all of the inhabitants will go down with their blanket. Some will hang onto the wall, next to which I will be strategically cowering. Not good.
Furthermore the blanket is not far from the door. So if things start running, they might block my exit. I have a balcony that I could potentially throw myself off – but so far I haven't been able to find the key to unlock the door. Which might actually be a good thing.
What to do?
Oh and I saw my first scorpion last night – four inches away from the light switch which I had just used. So that was a valuable lesson about the dangers of turning on lights. On the bright side: in the garden we have hummingbirds! Hummingbirds! Which, as someone once said, "would be impossible, if they didn't exist!" I will try to get a picture for you. And so many butterflies! It's funny, you don't see many butterflies these days – but here they are plentiful.

Wow are you getting any sleep? Okay…the events of this blog indicate that you are miles and miles away from giving the crawling room mates names! It's a good sign. However, I'm not sure it was a good idea to disturb the peace of the blue blanket (By the way it sounds like a good title for a novel too:-))
I looked up my version of The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook and nothing came close to your situation except wrestling an alligator and escaping quick sand! I suggest once you find a solution, brand it, and send it to the book publishers!:-)
Well, I think you need to work strategically and methodically. Step one is to find a way to get rid of the spiders! If they go, the scorpions will go on their accord. Apparently, scorpions are attracted by the spiders and their webs as they constitute a delicious meal!
Now How to get rid of the spiders? I have no idea but here are some silly ones:
- Hypnotize the cats and ask them to do it for you.
- Wear a Bee Keeper outfit and kill them
- Change Rooms?! And find new room mates?!
Good Luck!

I have a mosquito net! I love it, with a passion. Really.
Even better, whilst a friend was upstairs looking for a CD, I made a very casual request:
"While you're up there" I said nonchalantly "would you mind just bringing that old blanket down with you?"
Blanket moved, pride intact! However, both (unnamed) behemoths are still in residence - we eye each other suspiciously, but so far the loft is remaining a place of mutual respect and tolerance.

But I'm very glad you got a mosquito net made out of the same fabric as Batman's cape!

432 Park Avenue is an new iconic structure rising at the corner of 56th Street in midtown Manhattan (thanks to Darrell for bringing it to my attention). When completed in 2015 it will be the tallest residential tower in the Western hemisphere and the second tallest building in New York City after the One World Trade Center (formerly known as the Freedom Tower).
Check out the view from 1271 feet.
The address is what initially interested me. 432 is a very significant number. 432 is part of a doubling sequence: 108, 216, 432, 864, 1728, 3456 wherein each term encodes secrets in plain sight.
432 Park has a very simple design based on "the purest geometric form: the square," according to its architect Rafael Viñoly.
I noticed that each floor plate has an area of 8640 square feet. The tower has a total of 2016 windows with a total glazed area of 201,600 square feet.
In my book Taking Measure: Explorations in Number, Architecture, and Consciousness I explain how the material matrix in which we are embedded is based on the decimal system and why my qualitative numerological analyses discount the placeholder zero. Therefore, 432 Park's floors and windows encode 864 and 216, the terms neighboring 432 in the doubling sequence.
The building height had me stumped for a while until I realized that 1398 feet = 864 x Phi. Phi is the golden ratio. See SIPS Volume 1 for how Phi is encoded in the Great Pyramid, the Washington Monument, and UN Headquarters which is visible from the windows of 432 Park incidentally.
The windows of 432 Park seem to underline the fundamental importance of the decimal system. Each of the 2016 windows is a 10 foot square having 100 square feet glazed area. Each side of the tower has 6 windows so looking around the penthouse you see 6, 6, 6, and 6 windows. The ceiling height is 12'6″, or 6'+6'+6″.
216 = 6x6x6.
Moon's diameter = 2160 miles (99.9%).
Earth's polar circumference = 21,600 nautical miles by definition.
Earth's orbital velocity 66,660 miles/hour.
Earth's precessional cycle is 6x6x6! or 25,920 years.
Arctic Circle to Equator = Pole to Tropics = 66.6 degrees (credit: William Neil).
The construction costs of 432 Park exceed $1.25 billion. The owner-developer Harry Macklowe expects to sell over $3 billion of condos in 432 Park. –Source The penthouse has already sold for $95 million. This ultraluxury tower is certainly for the one percent.
Travis J pointed out in a comment that the distance from 432 Park to the Statue of Liberty's torch is 33,333 feet. In addition the distance from the Home of The Supreme Council, 33°, Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in Washington DC to 432 Park is 333 km.
Jan Thulstrup pointed out that 432 Park will actually be taller than One World Trade Center if you don't count its controversial spire. Also Jan noticed that the bearing from 1 WTC to the corner of Park Ave and 56th Street is 33.33 degrees east of North.
Interestingly Macklowe purchased the Drake Hotel at 440 Park for $440 million and tore it down to make room for the residential tower with the new address of 432 Park. This syncs with the movement to change concert tuning from 440 Hz to the more harmonious 432 Hz.
In Yards I discussed how the Great Pyramid is metrological model of the Earth in 1:43,200 scale.
The height of the Great Pyramid times 43,200 = Earth's polar radius in feet (99.7%)
The base perimeter times 43,200 = Earth's equatorial circumference in feet (99.4%)
At an average rate of 72 beats per minute, in 1 hour the human heart will have beat 4320 times. In 12 hours, or 43,200 seconds, the heart will have beat 51,840 times. The Great Pyramid slope is 51.84 degrees.
432 x 432 is the speed of light in miles/sec (99.8%).
In the Hindu vedas, which are among the world's oldest sacred texts, the Kali yuga ("the age of vice") is said to last 432,000 years. Most interpreters of Hindu scriptures believe that Earth is currently in the Kali Yuga.
360 feet = 4320 inches
360 yards = 1080 feet
Venus is an average of 108 million km from the Sun (99.8%).
The Sun's diameter is approximately 108 Earth diameters (99%).
The Earth is 108 solar diameters from the Sun (99.5%).
The Earth has a volume of 108 x 10^10 cubic km. (99.7%).
The Moon is 108 lunar diameters from the Earth (98%).
The Moon's radius is 1080 miles (99.9%).
The element silver, which has always been associated with the Moon, has an atomic weight of 108 g/mol.
There are 108 double stitches on a baseball.
The highest frequency in FM radio is 108 MHz.
86,400 seconds in 24 hours exactly.
864,000 miles is the diameter of the Sun (99.8%).
Canberra's Parlimentary Triangle has a 8640 meter perimeter (credit: Jan Thulstrup).
The distance from Stonehenge to Silbury Hill is 86,400 feet (credit: John Michell and Robin Heath).
Place de la Concorde in Paris is 86,400 square meters in area.
The Transamerica Pyramid is 864 feet high including its mast.
The distance from the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco to One Canada Square in London is 8641 km. One Canada Square was originally designed to be 864 feet high.
1728 billion cubic furlongs is the volume of New Jerusalem as described in Revelation.
3456 ancient Egyptian royal miles is the Earth's polar radius (99.99%). A royal mile is defined as exactly 8/7 of a statute mile.
Ray Tomes discovered that powers of 34560 structure the universe:
- If we take the average distance between moons and multiply it by a factor of 34560, we get the average distance between planets.
- Take the average distance between planets, multiply it by a factor of 34560 and we get the average distance between stars.
- Multiply the average distance between stars by a factor of 34560 and we get the average distance between galaxies.
- Take the average distance between galaxies, multiply it by a factor of 34560 and we get the size of the known Universe.
David Wilcock summarized Ray Tomes' research here.

Vegan Wine
Well, today I tried for the first time some vegan wine. You probably didn't know such a thing existed, did you? Before I tell you what I thought of it, let me back track. Those who know me well know that I've been following a vegan diet for many years. I started back in 2004 and gradually eliminated animal products from my diet. Although I try to follow the vegan diet, it usually ends up being just a vegetarian diet.
Most people I talk to about it usually ask me why I do it. The reason I started eating this way was to reduce my intake of sodium, saturated fat, refined sugar, and table salt. I also wanted to shed some pounds. Eliminating animal products from the diet is the best way to make that happen and to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. Additionally, people also end up getting around to asking me about protein. They always want to know how to I get sufficient amounts without having to take a lot of supplements. If you're wondering the same thing too, well here's how. For starters, you can get protein from a variety of foods, such as soybeans, quinoa, barley, oatmeal, broccoli, lentils, brown rice, lima beans, peanuts, tofu, almond milk, cashews, black beans, and millet.
These are just some of the non-animal food items with protein. There are also many others. Many, many others. Eating a variety of vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains will provide all the protein that the body needs. By the end of the day I make sure I have eaten a rainbow, in terms of the different types of fruits and vegetables. The other thing is, the numbers we often hear regarding protein needs are often over inflated. We don't need as much as people tend to think that we do. I think – my opinion – is due to lobbying by dairy and cattle farmers.
Now, to the issue at hand: the wine. I'd rate it as just average. I am a big connoisseur of wine, especially red wine. I Googled it and found it online. It wasn't a wine that someone recommended. I probably won't ever get this brand again, but believe me, its not so bad that I would throw it out. I'll still drink it. But my recommendation is not to buy it, in my opinion. I've read many reviews of what is and is not a good vegan wine. I don't think I'll try another brand. I'll just stick with what I know. Wine is just one of those things that can't be vegan.
Before I go, I can hear someone out there saying, "Vegan wine? Isn't all wine vegan?" Well no, it isn't. Most wines have one or all of these things:
1. Caseins, which is a milk protein;
2. Isinglass, derived from sturgeon fish bladders;
3. Gelatin, an extract derived from pig and cow hooves and tendons, and
4. Albumin, which is an extract from eggs.
While there are other ingredients that vineyards may use, these are the most commonly used ingredients that keep wines from being vegan. An exception needs to be made. Leave the vegan wines alone.

I was taking the failure personally because the answer was always right there. If I had just waited a few more seconds or hid behind a different wall it would have worked. The stages in which you are encouraged to incapacitate all the enemies are slightly easier but the full on combat area that tasks you with surviving 20 fucking waves of dudes with guns is right out. I doubt that I will be attempting that one again.
It's the same kind of pseudo completionist nonsense that forced me to get all of the Enigma collectibles to appear on the map in Arkham Origins even though I had no intent of collecting them all. There is a limit but until I hit it I must have everything. I want to know what I am missing, maybe?
Anyway, it's time to buckle down and actually get work done on this game. Time is running out. There are PS4 games and controllers on the shelf at Best Buy (but no demo kiosk, which was my whole purpose of stopping there). There are pictures of stacks of PS4s on pallets just waiting to be sold.

Rock Print, an architectural installation by Gramazio Kohler Research at ETH Zurich in collaboration with the Self-Assembly Lab at MIT, will be shown at this year's Chicago Architecture Biennial. The project is a unique installation made from "reversibly printed matter".
Says ETH and MIT, the teams have proposed "the first architectural installation built from low-grade granular material and constructed by robotic machines. Conceived as an intriguing vertical object, the installation presents a radically new approach to The State of the Art of Architecture – the official title of the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial – and brings forward a new category of random packed, potentially fully reusable, poly-dispersed jammed structures that can be automatically fabricated in non-standard shapes."
"A specifically designed algorithm will guide a robotic arm in a three-dimensional 'rock printing' process. With the precision that only a robot can provide, it positioned a textile filament layer-bylayer around which loose granular material will form a distinctive shape. The self-aggregating capacity of this digitally crafted design configuration results in a large-scale architectural artefact that requires no additional support elements."
"Going far beyond the manual assembly techniques of dry masonry, this endeavor presents a unique combination of state-of-the-art digital design and fabrication technology with building material science. It introduces a sustainable, economical, and structurally sound construction method that fundamentally challenges conventional architecture."
"Following the robotic assembly, the installation will comprise a large-scale architectural artefact in its completed form, exhibiting distinct features, such as: full material reversibility and the respective reusability of the aggregated materials; structurally active interlocking, differentiated structural performance, while yielding high geometric flexibility and articulation. Visitors will be drawn to the impressive structural capacity of rocks in a formerly unseen and unexpected (digitally crafted) design configuration."

You may or may not have noticed, but I don't really wear a lot of jeans in my blog posts. In fact, after a copious amount of scrolling back through older posts, I've realized that the last time I wore a pair of jeans in a blog post was about two years ago! Which is bizzare, don't you think, given the fact that we all wear jeans on a daily basis?[three_fourth]
The truth is, I have a confession. I barely ever wear jeans because I've never had a pair that fits just right. If you think finding the perfect man is difficult, try finding the perfect pair of jeans! I lucked out when after years of searching, I found a boy who ticked my every box. However, when it came to my jeans, I wasn't nearly as lucky.
You see, being a curvy girl with an hourglass shape, jeans just never seemed to hug my body right. They'd always gape at the back, slide too far down on my waist and be tight on my hips, which is why when the jegging trend hit, I was an instant convert.
I've always believed that a good pair of jeans are the building blocks to any woman's wardrobe. Which is why I've splashed out a bit on pricy brands in the past, hoping for the perfect fit. Sadly, none of them really ticked all my boxes. The boxes being (a) Super stretchy so that I can do just about anything in them (b) High waisted to keep all my curves in check and create a great shape (c) Narrow at the ankle for a streamlined look (d) An array of colours, textures and fading to choose from (e) Great quality without breaking the bank
I was just as close to giving up as a girl could get, when I struck denim gold. The pair that ticked my every box was just down the street at my local ASDA store! Stretchy, versatile, high-waisted and budget friendly, I'm now back to wearing jeans 24/7.[/one_fourth_last]
In fact, I am so in love with these grey and white pairs, that I took them with me on our Tinderversary weekend where I paired them up and down with different accessories depending on the occasion – cute sandals and a hat for exploring the cathedral and eating lunch in Durham, with heels and sequins on a dressy night out in Newcastle, with trainers and a t-shirt for sightseeing in Tynemouth and with a sheer shirt, oversized coat and flats for hitting up quaint little coffee spots in Windermere.
If you've had your own love-hate relationship with denim, find your soulmate and live happily ever after by checking out George at ASDA's Wonderfit Jeans here. (And if its a more human soulmate you seek, James and I recommend Tinder!)

Drag/Drop Trigger Doesn't Work When Target Has No Fill or Line Color
Article Last Updated
This article applies to:
A trigger that performs an action when an object is dragged over or dropped on another object won't work if the target object has no fill or line color (i.e., it's invisible).
To correct it, use either of these options:
- Add a fill collor to the target object and set its transparency to 100%.
- Use a hotspot instead of an invisible shape for the target object.
Note: This issue only happens with drag triggers and drop triggers. Objects that have no fill or line color can still be used as targets in drag-and-drop interactions.

Just a few years ago, if someone had told me that I would walk in EmuI'd probably knock on the head. Today I am totally enchanted with these shoes and I must admit that I wear them in the autumn and winter whenever I can. Many times I wondered what shoes are the best for the winter, which ones will be the warmest for me? Now I know. Emu shoes are expensive, it's obvious. However, it is not worth buying fakes, just put down the money and buy the original.
I don't like winter very much, I'd like to live somewhere where the whole year is warm. Unfortunately, in Poland we have 4 seasons and we also have to deal with terrible cold. Last year, winter gave a hard time. After passing Orkan, it was still terribly cold. I am frost and I freeze at temperatures below 15 degrees. My feet and hands are always the coldest. I decided to put an end to freezing, not looking at the look of my shoes (even though I fell in love with Emu, I still think they are not very beautiful: P).
I read a lot, I chose (unfortunately in Poland the availability of Emu is at least average) increasingly stranger models and lengths. The choice fell on the model Paterson Mini chocolate. Although I wanted black (of course it was not), now I do not regret the choice.
I chose the Paterson model for a very simple reason - this model is waterproof. I happen to encounter rain in them (nothing happens to them), but it's worth remembering that they are not wellies that can handle a great downpour. Either way, even wet snow doesn't scare them.
The second argument that it is worth investing in the original is primarily the sole. There is a stereotype that emus twist their feet. Yes, fakes do. The sole of the original emus is made so that even the most pronating foot does not contort from walking in these shoes.
The most important argument is warmth. Since I bought my emu, I don't remember what it means to freeze in the feet. The idea of wearing these shoes in the summer and bare feet does not speak for me. Even in the coldest temperatures I put on ordinary socks and I'm not worried that I'll freeze. In addition, emus do not have slippery soles, which I was probably afraid of the most. It is true that meeting with ice may end badly, but light ice is not scary for these shoes.
Is it worth buying emu shoes?
If you're thinking about emu, I'll tell you one thing ... it's really worth it. It is worth investing, but only in the original version. It is better to save money than to buy fakes every year, which distort the legs and have the usual sheepskin coat that can be found in every winter boot. Original emus, if someone cares for them, they can serve up to several years. An example is my colleague from a former job (A. greetings to you dear: *) whose unearthly stingers look like new after a few years! :)
What do you think about these shoes? Are you supporters or rather opponents?

Teen Wolf season 6 will return with its final 10 episodes this summer on MTV Network. Actors Tyler Posey, who plays Scott McCall, has shared some plot details about series finale chapter and revealed that the show ends on a cliffhanger.
Posey told Entertainment Tonight at the 2017 MTV Movie and TV Awards, "You'll get a lot of [your questions] answered. There's always going to be stuff where you're going to be left hanging on -- just some minor things -- because the way I want Teen Wolf to progress."
Teasing a possible return, the actor said, "It's that maybe we come back one day, as a movie or something [or] a TV show again. In in my heart, would love that to happen, so I kind of want to leave some small things open, but we do get a really nice wrap up of everybody and everything, and all the really die-hard fans are going to love it. It's for them."
After playing Scott for six seasons, Posey is proud of the work he has done on Teen Wolf, which is loosely based on the 1985 film of the same name. He told the publication, "Everybody [was unsure of the series when it was announced]. I was a big fan of [the original Teen Wolf] Michael J. Fox growing up as a kid."
Reminiscing about his time on the show, Posey said, "I felt a little odd, too, but the second I read the script... I'm like, 'Damn, we're doing something way different. It's darker, it's edgier, it's a lot cooler, it's deeper.' I think we did a pretty good job at turning it into something new, but still giving remembrance to the actual movie."
Posey's co-star, Shelley Hennig, who plays Malia Tate in Teen Wolf, shared some details about season 6 final episode. She told ET that fans can "expect a lot of blood, sweat and tears" and "new relationships" as season six comes to a close. "I think all of our questions will be answered," Hennig added.
Season 6 episode 10 ended on a perfect note, with the pack graduating from Beacon Hills High School, and Stiles and Lydia finally getting together.

From TemeraireWiki
The authority responsible for the governance of the Royal Navy and the Aerial Corps. The Admiralty was responsible, among many other matters, for assigning senior officers and captains to their commands, and for confirming field promotions.
The Admiralty was located in Whitehall in Central London.
Members of the Admiralty took one of two positions regarding dragons. They either believed them to be barely controllable beasts, or to react to situations the same way as a human would. Unfortunately the choice of these positions was mostly based on the result desired by the member of the board, rather than any logical reason. The lack of understanding of dragons and dragonic nature lead to many difficulties for members of the Aerial Corps.

A couple of family-run joints are new to the neighborhood. First, Elsewhere Espresso, the coffee shop owned by three siblings, opened this morning, as you can see from the balloons at right. It'll be open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., seven days a week.
Just a block north, Tink's Restaurant, which we first told you about in January, will finally open next Thursday. It, too, is a family affair, as Isabella Aqel will run the spot with the help of four sisters, a brother, and her parents.
"If I didn't have them, there's no way I'd be able to do this," Ms. Aqel, 25, told The Local today at the restaurant on East Seventh Street, where her twin, Sophia, her brother Alex, 23, and her 52-year-old mom, Jenny, who runs a family sheet-metal business in East Harlem with her husband, were helping put some finishing touches on the place. She hopes her restaurant will be "a sit-down place you can bring your boyfriend or girlfriend, a romantic, date spot."
The modest space (rent is $5,200 per month) boasts mementos from what Ms. Aqel, a French Culinary Institute graduate, has joked is her "ethnically confused" family. "My dad is Jordanian, and my mom's Irish. We're so diverse with everything, including our food," she said. Large metal plates hanging between sconces were a gift from her family in Jordan. And her brother Alex, an iron worker, designed the front windows. The chandeliers, which cast a cozy glow, were bought at an Indian store on Bowery, and the huge mirrors gracing the brick walls were snagged from a going-out-of-business auction at Rocco Restaurant in Greenwich Village.
Though the menu, below, is mainly American, Ms. Aqel said she will eventually incorporate dishes reflecting her family roots. "I'm thinking about adding something like an Arabic dessert," she said. "It'll break my dad's heart if I don't." On the current menu are rabbit pot pie with coconut cream and green curry spices; baked potato soup with bacon bits, broccoli and cheddar; truffled macaroni and cheese with garlic bread crumbs; and jumbo lump crab sliders with kimchee mayonnaise, fried egg, and Bibb lettuce. Appetizers will most likely run from $8-$14 and entrees, $16-$28.
Tink's, which is awaiting a liquor license, will be open from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. during the week (closed Monday), and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends, when brunch will be served until 2 p.m.

A Hacker's Guide to Monetizing Free-to-Play Games - Betable
The Free-to-play Revolution Free-to-play games are growing in popularity and quickly taking over the Top Grossing app spots on both the App Store and the Android Market. It makes a lot of sense, especially for social games that need to achieve critical mass for the best gameplay experience. The user adoption rate of a free product is 5 to 6 times higher than a product that costs even $0.01, and that viral spread is a great way to get users to refer you to the customer that will make that free-to-paid conversion later. This option also drives strong category rankings because it drives more installs, which makes it especially valuable now that Apple has prohibited incentivized installs to a certain extent.

How do you buy organs on the black market?
Those were brilliant stories. One interesting wrinkle was that as more and more organs were demanded, the death sentence become pervasive even for lesser crimes. Run three red lights: Death sentence carried out in a hospital. Those were some very interesting stories - I loved the one where the guy escaped (I think another prisoner had a bomb implanted in his thigh-bone or something), and managed to get to the roof. And the societal transition from organ-legging to artificial organs was one way that Brennan was found by the goldskin (belter) cop and Brennan's great-nephew; he had switched the recipients of donations from artificial organs to something else as organlegging went away.... The guy in the story where he escaped (which it sounds like you read) was just guilty of some traffic violations, iirc.

The "Dokkōdō" [ (Japanese: 独行道?); "The Path of Aloneness", "The Way to Go Forth Alone", or "The Way of Walking Alone"] is a short work written by Miyamoto Musashi (宮本 武蔵) a week before he died in 1645. It consists of either nineteen or twenty-one precepts; precepts 4 and 20 are omitted from the former version. "Dokkodo" was largely composed on the occasion of Musashi giving away his possessions in preparation for death, and was dedicated to his favorite disciple, Terao Magonojō (to whom the earlier Go rin no sho [The Book of Five Rings] had also been dedicated), who took them to heart.
