South Korea has announced a blockchain technology pilot that will be jointly carried out by the country's Food and Rural Affairs, Ministry of Science and ICT, and the Ministry of Agriculture. This experimental project, which centres on tracking beef via entire food supply chain, will be launched in December 2018 in North Jeolla Province. After the short testing period, the government will formally implement the technology in January 2019.
At present, tracking cattle is being done by a paper-based reporting system which keeps their record from birth to slaughter and then from packaging to distribution. This system has certain loopholes, such as it is resource-intensive, time-consuming, and is not fraud proof which increases the risk of bogus certificates. The new blockchain-based system is said to put a stop on fraud practices involved in the business and enhance efficiency of the process.
The government had announced in August that it was allocating $4.4 billion in its 2019 budget, which will go towards eight major sectors that also include big data, AI, and blockchain. Finance minister Kim Dong-yeon sees blockchain as a potential technology that can transform the world. He said: "Blockchain technology has the potential to become one of the core infrastructures of the fourth industrial revolution. The development of blockchain technology can really change the world."
A couple of months ago, the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) also announced a similar successful blockchain pilot to regulate compliance within the local food sector. FSA's head of innovation, Sian Thomas, said: "We thought that blockchain technology might add real value to a part of the food industry, such as a slaughterhouse, whose work requires a lot of inspection and collation of results."
In August, the South Korean government announced that it would invest one trillion won (£693m) into innovative technologies including blockchain and AI by 2019. The initiative forms part of the country's five-trillion-won (£3.46bn) 'Growth Innovation Plan', which covers a strategy to fund eight pilot projects, the development of a "platform economy" and a hydrogen fuel supply chain.

Notice anything about the figure below? Despite all the discussion about parental (over)involvement, students remain steadfast in relying on parents and family members for career support.
So what's a parent to do when seeking to provide tools and support while encouraging full independence and accountability? The parents and students with whom I work identify three approaches to ensure student career development success:
1) Students - Start early in the academic year (now!) to clarify interests, set career goals, and connect with mentors
2) Parents - Encourage ongoing student development for long-term success with multiple plans to identify options
3) Both (Students and Parents) - Welcome professional services that can provide expert guidance and support

The only and first thing I expected in a new Mediamonkey version is DSD support in all formats: DSD64, DSD128, DSD256, DSD512. Other Music Players like JRiver, Foobar, Kodi, Neutron, Jet Audio, etc. do this,
Vast mayority of classical music in Hi-Res is in DSD.
Second thing i expected is full support for Sync Lyrics, to download it for a lot web services or pages, or to manually add it and sync like Lyric Show 3 in foobar.
Third thing i expected is at least, ALL MediaMonkey 4 features and views (no removes any or simplify it), and more catalog options and views, more easy to see and catalog albums and music files, tags and capacity to catalog very large music collections, about 10 TB. of music files, very quickly. Perfomance, speed and stability.
And the fourth thing is HIGH DPI SUPPORT and a better beatifull user interface, no flat, plain, ugly, without color or with bad and ugly pastel color, or lack of contrast between areas (like Windows 10). Also a lot of different themes to allow users select the one who likes. And a Theme Editor to allow everyone create his own themes or to share or shell it acrosss the web.

Re: Features Request
Are you sure MM5 doesn't have high DPI support? I'm not an expert on this but I would have thought most of that would be free from using chrome as the base.
Re: Features Request
What High DPI issues do you have ?
Re: Features Request
PLEASE add support for opus codec to both the desktop application and the android player!
Re: Features Request
Opus support is ready for MM5 and should be included in next few releases.

I have been a little preoccupied this past year. I've been sneaking out of my bedroom in the early hours of the morning, writing secret notes, and wavering between guilt and joy. Sounds a bit like a romantic affair, doesn't it? But no, particular this undertaking was fully supported by my husband of sixteen years. In fact, while I was tossing names for this endeavor, he walked by and said, " You should call it fashionipa, as a play on the word fashionista." That was the start of my affair with fashion.
It was just over a year ago that I started creating this blog, recording my outfits on Instagram, and shopping at all hours to find bargains to share on Pinterest. I've also read thousands of fashion editorials and influencer posts, researched dozens of new (to me) brands, and tried on more outfits than I would dare admit. These are some of the lessons I've learned from my year-long, intense affair with fashion blogging…
Lesson 1: The Most Effective Way To Organize Your Outfits …
Over the last year, I've played around with several methods of organizing clothes, from the Kon Mari method (of discarding everything that doesn't spark joy) to various mobile closet apps (to which you upload photos of your clothes) to creating my own organized lists. Which one worked best, you ask?
- The Kon Mari method is not for the faint of heart. It requires you to make a giant pile of all your clothes. You then divide them into those which bring you joy (keep), and those which don't (toss). I found it helpful to do a clean sweep of my clothes, but I kept a lot of items that didn't bring me joy. These were my necessary and practical items (ugly winter sweatpants, I'm talking to you!)
- Mobile closet apps require you to take photos of all of your clothing so that you have a virtual closet to sort into outfits. I found that it took too much time to upload and catalog my clothes, so I gave up on the apps pretty quickly.
- I created an organized list (and wrote about it in this post) which helped me quickly take stock of my closet, set goals, and make better purchasing decisions. It was the easiest method for me to start putting styles together.
…And Create Gorgeous Outfits
So what was the trick to organizing my closet and pulling together outfits? It was all about eliminating distractions. Here's how you do it:
- Keep your current season clothing and accessories as visible as possible. Put away your off-seasons items in drawers, bins or garment bags that you can hide in plain sight.
- Hang your clothes up by category (dresses together, pants together etc) but once a week, pull a few outfits together on hangers. I like slim velvet hangers with clips as I can fit a skirt and top on the hanger, and drape a scarf or necklace around the hook. I've also used an over the door hook for clothing and a drawstring pouch for my jewelry. Instead of staring at your entire closet in the morning, you'll have one or two pre-determined outfits from which to choose.
It was certainly helpful that my affair with fashion involved posting flatlays on Instagram! It encouraged me to vary my outfits, to buy more color, and figure out what I was missing. Assuming that you are not a blogger, this is probably too time-consuming. Putting your outfits on hangers and hooks (and making a mental note about how you feel wearing the outfit) can serve the same purpose.
Lesson 2: If It Fits, You'll Wear It
Over the past year, I've probably photographed every top, bottom, dress, and accessory that I own. As I started laying out various outfits for my flatlays, I started wondering why I had so many perfectly decent pieces that I hardly ever wore.
These pieces fit my Instagram feed quite nicely but didn't fit my body. This top, for example, is a great basic tank, but the hem landed on my hips at an awkward spot. It made me look frumpy no matter what I wore with it. I took it to a tailor to have it shortened a few inches, and now it's a reliable part of my closet.
The other lesson in "fit" is whether something fits your lifestyle. I have some gorgeous heels that I love to look at, but I rarely wear. Sure, have a few of those "treasures" around for special occasions, but don't buy too many of them.
Lesson 3: Style Matters
The other day, I received an e-mail for an article about what's "in" and "out" for fall shoes. Wedge heeled shoes were "out"…until an hour later, when I received another e-mail from a different brand, with glossy images of their brand new (you guessed it) wedge shoes. Trends come and go, and come back around again before you can do your laundry. It's personal style (what looks good on us) that matters.
Does it matter what we wear? I think so. There have been several studies that show that what we wear affects our mood and how we present ourselves. So when do you retire your clothing and accessories?
- When it's ripped, torn, or faded.
- It no longer fits (your body, lifestyle or the season)
- When someone whose style you love tells you that it looks dated (we often can't be objective with those old jeans or comfy sweater).
- You know that it doesn't make you feel good anymore.
Replacing items, rather than buying indiscriminately, helps us keep a check on that clutter.
Now That My Affair With Fashion Has Been Exposed…
…I'm taking the next step by expanding into some related areas: home, entertaining, and travel. I'm also planning to partner up with some brands so that I can bring you more visual content. Until now, I have taken (or had a friend take) most of the photographs I have used on this blog. I've photographed the clothing and accessories that I have bought. Since the laws on using photos from the internet are a bit ambiguous, I like to have clear permission before using a brand's photographs. Partnering with them, allows me to do that. Often these partnerships come with some sort of compensation, and I will always disclose that. I hope you'll keep joining me as I continue this affair …ahem… dare I say permanent relationship?

WhatsApp set to launch this new feature – Find out how important it isTechnology June 23, 2018, Comments Off
WhatsApp is set to introduce stickers on its platform. Despite having over 1.5 billion monthly active users, the Facebook-owned company has deprived them of the popular stickers feature that is available on Facebook's other apps (Messenger and Instagram), as well as other chat apps. The company at its F8 developer conference this year announced that WhatsApp will soon receive support for stickers, besides the video group calling. While the latter is recently rolled out to the beta build, the stickers option is still disabled on the latest beta build.
According to WABetaInfo, the WhatsApp stickers are a part of the latest update submitted to the Google Play Beta programme. The report says that the WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.18.120 already has the stickers but disabled by default. However, it is expected the WhatsApp might roll out the stickers soon on the Beta programme while a wider rollout on the stable build will follow later.
The stickers will be available to access from the Emoji icon on the left side, next to the emoji and GIF tabs. The report notes that the stickers will resemble its counterparts on Facebook Messenger and will be available in separate packs, some of which will be pre-downloaded while a whole bunch of packs will be available for manual download.
Currently, WhatsApp stickers are in four reactions or mood – Love, Sad, Wow, and LOL. Each category has characters showing the reactions in a funny manner. There will be an Add button available as well so that the users can add more stickers as and when required. Apart from the Android version, it is not clear yet whether WhatsApp will bring the stickers on iOS during the initial testing phase.

Loveland Loves Origami
For many in Loveland, Colorado, the ancient Japanese craft of origami is more than just a hobby—it's a true art form.
Have you ever considered trying your hand at origami? Do you live in Loveland or Larimer County? If so, I highly recommend exploring the art by learning the basics with a true expert in the craft.
Join Loveland Loves Origami, a public class that meets on the first Saturday of each month at the Loveland Public Library's Erion Room, located on the second floor.
Origami, or paper folding, is an entertaining, educational, and fun activity that beginners and experts can all enjoy. This Loveland group can help you understand origami instructions, get ideas for classroom activities if you're a local teacher, all while helping you to enjoy learning and sharing with others.
A retired schoolteacher, Janet Dean, who used origami in her classroom to engage students in an art that builds concentration, precision, and creativity, teaches Loveland Loves Origami. Janet is also a member of Origami USA.
Beginners and experts are welcome, and children ages 8 and up are encouraged to attend with an adult. No registration or fee is required for the event.
For more information on the event, contact Bobbi at 962-2401, or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you are looking for a creative outlet, have always been intrigued by the beauty and sophistication of origami, or just want a taste of the craft, I encourage you to head over to the Loveland Public Library. The next class is Oct. 5 from11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
From all of us at The Law Office of Chris D. Hefty, happy folding!

It doesn't really matter what you're looking for. So long as it's related to the automotive industry, chances are that we can assist you.
Before we get deeper into the services that we offer, allow us to give you a brief history of our dealership. We first opened up shop in 1976, and since the day that the first vehicle rolled off of our lot, we have been a family owned and operated dealership. The vehicles that we sell have undoubtedly changed, but the fact remains that we are one of the premier Ford retailers in the area. That's because we offer service that is truly second to none. That's not just something that we say, either. We have the awards to prove it.
Through the years we have been able to secure a number of awards for customer satisfaction, and with 18 Ford President's Awards, 11 Outstanding Achievement Awards and 9 Quality Car Dealer Awards for Customer Satisfaction. In addition to all of those, we were chosen as the 2012 Dealer Rater Missouri Ford Dealer of the Year. Thankfully for Overland Park KS residents, however, we extend our services beyond the great state of Missouri. We are also proud to serve those living in the Sunflower State.
New and Used Ford Vehicles Overland Park KS
Although we offer a range of services, there is no arguing that the vehicles we sell are at the top of our list of priorities. One of the reasons that so many people choose our dealership over the rest of the dealers in the Overland Park area is that we have one of the largest selections of Ford vehicles around. We continue to add to our stock too, so even if we don't have what you're looking for at the moment, chances are that we will be getting it in soon. You can always get in touch with us to make sure, however.
If you are after something that is a bit more suited to your budget, you will be sure to find that our used car inventory has plenty of great options for you. We have a ton of Ford models within the pre-owned stock, but you will also be sure to appreciate that we have plenty of offerings from other automakers, allowing you to get just about anything you need. Plus, much like our new car inventory, the vehicles are always changing, so just because you don't see anything now, doesn't mean that you shouldn't check back in the near future to see what we have available. We always make sure to keep everything updated.
Auto Service and Repair Overland Park KS
If you already own a vehicle and simply need to get service on your current ride, you will be sure to find that our service department is more than capable of suiting your needs. We employ a team of technicians who are certified to deal specifically with the vehicles that we sell, and as they are all over-qualified, you can rest assured that when you bring in your vehicle for anything, whether it be routine maintenance or a full-blown engine repair, your vehicle is truly in the best of hands. That's our guarantee here at Matt Ford.
We know that we've hit you with a lot here, but if you like what you are reading and want to take the next step, we encourage you to check out the rest of our website where you can find more information as well as forms that allow you to setup an appointment here at the dealership. Feel free to schedule a test drive or to schedule a service appointment. If you prefer face-to-face interactions, please feel free to show up unannounced.

Aiming to bring consumers quality products with unique tastes, Vissan constantly researches and improves its product range. Its Shaking-up Sausages come in three types: cheese shaking-up sausage, mixed tamarind sauce sausage, and mixed BBQ sauce sausage.
If you have a taste for the sweet and salty flavor of cheese, then you can't go past the cheese shaking-up sausage. The fragrance of the cheese resonates with the sausage to not only awaken the smell but also make your taste buds more sensitive than ever. Simply pour the cheese over the sausage, shake the jar, and enjoy.
The sour and spicy features of tamarind bring a new and unique flavor to the mixed tamarind sauce sausage. While your tongue will feel the sour taste, the corner of your mouth will feel the mild spice and sweet taste in your mouth. After seeing the golden iridescent layer of tamarind sauce soaked in each sausage, it's hard to resist taking a bite.
While tamarind sauce is light in flavor, BBQ sauce makes a dish even more special. With a passionate fragrance and light sweet and spicy taste, BBQ sauce makes the BBQ sauce mixed sausage a delight. Sesame seeds are also added to the BBQ sauce, for a special taste. As soon as you open the spicy sauce package, the BBQ aroma blends with scent of the sausage and stimulates the sense of smell and then the taste buds.
All products from Vissan have been manufactured in a closed process to ensure food hygiene and safety. Its nutritional food is of top quality and suitable for everyone, from young children to adults.

When it comes to organizations handling their customers' personal information, there are certain policies, rules and restrictions which every company must follow in order to ensure that the data is protected from any potential online breaches or leaks. Personal information such as an individual's health records, social security numbers and credit card numbers are a private matter, and through services such as co-managed SIEM, cybersecurity companies can help businesses adhere to the HIPPA compliance standards in place today.
Here is how we at StratoZen can help your business stay within these standards and protect your customers personal data from online threats.
What is HIPPA Compliance?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) was established in 1996 and required the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to develop regulations that would protect the privacy and security of an individual's health information. To accomplish this, the HIPPA Privacy and HIPPA Security rules were published.
- The Privacy Rule establishes national standards for protecting certain health information.
- The Security Rule establishes national standards for the protection of individual's health information that is held or transferred electronically.
Before HIPPA, there were no security standards or general requirements for protecting health information that companies held.
At StratoZen, we offer FFIEC and HIPPA compliance solutions that will keep your customers personal information safe. We take enterprise security tools, turn them into complete, cloud-delivered solutions and make them available to businesses, MSSPs and enterprises, no matter what the size, through our managed and co-managed SIEM service provider partners.
We help some of the largest MSPs in the world keep up with HIPPA compliance regulations and keep their customers safe from various online threats.
While we only talked about HIPPA compliance regulations, there are various other regulations in play that companies must follow today, and we can help ensure you aren't violating any of them our cybersecurity company is an international organization that complies with all regulations. If you want to learn more about compliance or you're in need of cybersecurity assistance, give us a call here at StratoZen.

Looking to grow your small business by building better relationships with your audience? Have you considered incorporating direct mail into your strategy? 70 percent of Americans feel that mail is more personal than the internet and 56 percent of customers find print marketing to be the most trustworthy type of marketing. Sounds promising, right? Continue reading to learn valuable direct mail marketing strategies that can have a positive impact on your business.
The Right Mailing List
How you target your market will play a tremendous role in the outcome, so be sure to be very strategic when choosing your mailing lists. According to BiggerPockets.com, here are five of the most common mailing list types you'll be choosing from. Select one or select them all, but choose wisely.
- The house list – these are prospect and customer contacts you've collected on your own
- The response list – These are prospects that have expressed interest in a specific topic or industry
- The targeted demographic list – These are prospects meeting specific criteria of your choice (age, sex, location, income level, number of children, etc.)
- The opt-in list – These are prospects who have specifically asked for you to market your products and services to them
- The segmented list – This list uses criteria to further segment prospects by alternate habits
Customize, Customize, Customize
You have 2.5 seconds to catch the reader's attention with your letter, starting from the moment it is taken out of the mailbox. That's why many small business marketers have found success with customized and color envelopes. For better results, a color scheme should also be incorporated into your letter. Statistics show basic black and white pieces generally receive a response rate of less than 1 percent. On another note, personalizing mail pieces with a customer's name and adding color can increase response rates by 135 percent.
A Direct Call-to-action
Hook them in with great content, but seal the deal with a compelling call-to-action that can clearly direct prospects to the next step. For the sake of good results, keep it simple. Here are a few tips from The Daily Egg Blog that outline the fundamentals each effective call-to-action should contain.
- A no-obligation statement that removes or reduces risk
- Direction on what to do next
- A sense of urgency for a more rapid response
Run A/B Testing
If you're not measuring your direct mail marketing success, then you simply aren't doing it right. A/B testing is one of the most effective ways of understanding your contacts and what they respond well to. A/B split testing is an effective strategy that has been used for decades in direct mail marketing. Simply create a Version A of your mail piece, then a Version B, that changes one element of the piece to see which generates the best response and from whom. Use these results to market better to your audience next time around and watch your results improve.

The Cross and the Switchblade was one of the first Christian books I read as a teenager. It gave me a view of Christian life and ministry far different to anything I'd known before.
As a result of that book and the story it told, David Wilkerson became a genuine Christian celebrity – but he didn't seem to be seduced by the trappings of celebrity and unlike so many of today's preachers he didn't water down his message.
Sadly he has been killed in a car accident in Texas.
More details can be found here:
A memorial service will be streamed live by the Times Square Church he established. Details will be posted on the Time Square Church website.

The course was tailored to EMT and the trainer had great knowledge of the business. I have attended several leadership courses and this was by far the best as it was very genuine and the trainer had a real passion and flair for getting the candidates engaged and see what the benefits are to EMT and their personal leadership style. Excellent.
Thank you for your presentation last week. The content went down well and you succeeded in getting the team(s) to think about their own situations and to start questioning what it is that they find inspiring within the workplace and life generally. The feedback was positive.

I created this peacock Halloween costume by making a tutu out of various colors of tulle (teal, black and purple), gluing peacock feathers which I ordered in bulk on the internet (and "special" ones from my local craft store) all over a corset, and getting long peacock feathers from my local zoo which I attached to a piece of board in a fan-like shape that I was able to slide in and out of the back of my corset (for driving purposes, going to the bathroom, etc!).
Once it was all together I wore fun eyelashes and matching makeup, paired it with some cute black tights and tall black boots and my peacock costume came to life! I was the ONLY peacock costume out for Halloween in my area last year and got a ton of compliments from people! I also had random strangers approaching me asking if they could take a picture with me!
Looking back I couldn't have been more happy with the way this costume turned out! Trying to top it this year will be hard!

'Unsolved' is an American true crime anthology TV series that's based on the murders of Biggie Smalls and Tupac in the late nineties. Its premiere was yesterday, February 27, on USA Network, and Zonnique Pullins if also featured in the series.
She just posted a video from the party in honor of the series' debut on her social media account.
'One more from @UnsolvedUSA's launch party last week in honor of the series premiere tonight! So much fun. Tune in right now! #ad #UnsolvedUSA' she captioned the short clip.
Naturally, her fans appreciated the clip and started commenting like crazy. Here's what one of her fans had to say: 'Good lord she is so damn fine. When I get on Imma get her attention n fuck around n wife her ass up. '
'You are so adorable tiny, and TI should be so proud I'm sure they are.. and Anyone else in your life and I love how well respected you are on tv and in person.. I'm raising a daughter to be the same..' another one of her followers wrote.
In other news, Zonnique just asked her mom Tiny to stop sharing 'ugly' pics of her.
We all know that Tiny loves to share pictures of all of her seven children and she recently posted a new photo of her 21-year-old daughter.
T.I.'s wife showed tins of love and support for her oldest child just like she always does.
'Wow! That face… My morning inspiration @zonniquejailee #AMothersLove #Mine #1stBornATrueBeaut,' Tiny captioned the photo.
In a few minutes, Zonnique popped up in the comment section asking her mom to stop posting ugly pics.
Fans defended Tiny, and they let Zonnique know that her mom and dad adore sharing 'ugly pictures' of their kids and one day when she will become a mom herself, she will do the same.

With thousands of years of creating art, humans never stop surprising you. They will create weird art that is out of this world. Whether you think it looks ridiculous or absolutely amazing, it sparks the deep interest of millions of art fans. People will often pay big bucks to own a rare piece of art.
How Long Has Art Been Around?
The practice of art has been around for thousands of years. Cave paintings have been traced as far back as 15000 BC. However, scientists now believe that Neanderthals may have been the very first human species to create cave paintings. The oldest cave paintings found in Europe are said to be over 37,300 years old. Of course, today, art has evolved into many different types of styles. We are going to share a variety of odd art examples, which will include pictures, video and descriptions.
Examples Of Art You Don't See Everyday
Pareidolia Art
Pareidolia is defined as a type of illusion that involves a indistinct and random stimulus (typically an image or sound) being perceived as significant. A great example would be seeing faces in things. We mentioned this cool phenomenon in a previous post called Hidden Faces In Things & Places.
Below are some more examples of pareidolia art. Do you see a hidden face in all of the portraits?
Art created by Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1526 or 1527 – July 11, 1593).
Another example of Giuseppe Arcimboldo's unusual work. The portrait clearly looks like a face.
Above is an example of how your brain can easily create a face (even out of the night sky).
Food Art
This woman is relaxing in a bathtub filled with 9 liters of cold milk and 4 boxes of Fruit Loops.
Above is a perfect example of how food can easily be used to create art. Dead fish were displayed to look like living fish swimming around in a tank. Even the onions were used to simulate bubbles.
This is not just an ordinary piece of chocolate. It is a Jesus chocolate. Doesn't it look delicious?
Mythology Creature
Above is a drawing of a legendary bird in China. The creature is odd indeed. The source is an unknown Japanese author. In a past post, we shared a variety of images of mythological creatures.
Symbolism Style: Cactus-Man
This is the unique artwork of Odilon Redon (April 20, 1840 – July 6, 1916). The 1881 art is called Cactus-Man. Redon was a French symbolist painter, printmaker, draughtsman and pastellist.
Art Using Letters & Words
Even letters and words can be used to help create some odd types of art. In the picture above, a woman, as well as many different letters were used to create this very unusual and awesome art!
Funny Art
Of course, you can even make art from an ordinary image. Like the goat above, you can add your own characteristics to it. The goat that was once normal, is now a funny-looking breed of its own.
Caricatures Using Computer Graphic Techniques
A caricature is an image that shows the features of its particular subject in either a simplified or exaggerated way. You can clearly see that Albert Einstein's hair is exaggerated to the point that he looks somewhat like a mad scientist. Creating caricatures with computers is not as common as drawing them on paper. You have probably visited amusement parks that provide a service to draw caricatures of yourself. Computer graphic techniques can be used to produce caricatures.
Unfortunately, there are not many software programs that were designed specifically for creating caricatures automatically. Also, in order to be able to successfully design using a computer graphic system, you would need to have different skill sets (as opposed to just creating them on a paper).
Art Using Lint, Fingernails, Mucous, Poop & Body Fluids
In a previous post, we had mentioned a woman named Millie Brown, who is better known as the "vomit artist". She has used her vomit to make art that is worth thousands of dollars. Below, we will share examples of other artists who have used body fluids to create rare and controversial art.
Making Teddy Bears From Lint
Belly button lint is defined as the visible accumulations of clothing fibers. The fibers are bundled from materials like linen and cotton. Rachael Betty Case is an artist who likes to create teddy bears. However, they are not like your usual kind of teddy bears. They are made from belly button lint.
Lint is usually found on and around clothing. In order for Rachael to create her teddy bears, she uses her boyfriend's lint. The teddy bears come in many different shapes and colors. Her work is so unique, it has even been displayed at The Mutter Museum in Philadelphia. Rachael has also made appearances in a variety of reality television shows such as Oddities and Odd Folks Home.
To see many different images of Rachael's artwork, you can visit her Facebook Fan Page.
Fingernail Clippings Art
Rachael Betty Case also creates art using other human remains. She has created sculptures from fingernail clippings. In order to continue her creations, she is supplied by her family, friends and fans. They send her human remains in the mail. At least some of her materials don't cost a penny.
The Bogey Ball
James R Ford is a contemporary British mixed media and installation artist in Frimley, England. For a period of two years, he collected his own boogers every single day. He molded his boogers into a 3/4-in-diamter (21-mm) ball. To create his pattern of mucus, Ford would collect his boogers in an eggcup and then glue them together. His booger art has been exhibited in London and Lithuania.
Poop Art
Andres Serrano is an artist who has used unique materials to create art that has sold for thousands of dollars. He is notorious for using feces and bodily fluids. Andres once created "Piss Christ". This was a highly controversial piece of art. It was a red-tinged photo of a crucifix that was submerged in a glass that was said to be filled with his own urine. Another artist by the name of Piero Manzoni (July 13, 1933 – February 6, 1963) had once canned and even sold 90 cans of his own excrement.
The two videos (above and below) feature artists that actually use real human feces to make art designs. See them in action. Warning: Footage is not recommended for people with a weak stomach.
Very few artists have been known to use semen to create their work. However, a British artist by the name of Ian Dennis (online alias Fox Bronte) has used semen to make art. He makes YouTube videos using semen, vomit, blood and even feces. Back in 2012, Ian's audience had sent him their pubic hairs. He then chose to use the pubic hairs to make a one of a kind portrait of Justin Bieber.
Sculpture Of An Artist's Head Made From 4.5 Liters Of Blood
Marc Quinn is a British artist known for creating several pieces of eccentric art. One is a sculpture of his head that was made using his own frozen blood. Like the artists we previously mentioned, Quinn uses blood and feces to make art. He also creates amazing sculptures worth big bucks.
Above is Quinn's amazing piece of art called "Self (2011)". It is a frozen sculpture of his head. Incredibly, it was made from 4.5 liters of his own blood. The blood was taken from Quinn's body over a five-month period. Quinn started making his head sculpture back in 1991. Every five years, he creates a new version of Self. Just look at the remarkable work done by this highly creative artist.
More Examples Of Unusual Types Of Art
Bizarre Animal Art: The Pioneer
This is one of our own very twisted taxidermy dioramas. The squirrel's name is Twisty. Instead of humans performing taxidermy on animals, this squirrel performs taxidermy on humans. Also, instead of using a fleshing machine, he uses a real jaw bone of a Rocky Mountain elk.
Spider & Insect Art
How about using spiders for your next bizarre art project? Above is a diorama that features a real and cool spider (from W. Malaysia) with sunglasses. He was placed in a make believe beach scene.
If you are looking to design an insect diorama, you can purchase beetles and other insects for your scenes. Fortunately, they are not expensive. A variety of online stores sell dried insect specimens.
House Decorated With Bizarre Writings
The above picture shows a house that was decorated with bizarre writings. You can see the facade decorated virtually everywhere. The owner of the home is believed to suffer from schizophrenia.
Tape Art
Tape can be used to add features (such as hair using your old cassette tape), create patterns and even make up an entire piece. Meet tape artist Sarah DiNardo. Sarah makes intricate sculptures within found boxes. The sculptures are made by rolling masking tape into rolls of various sizes.
If you are looking to create sculptures, why not create them with a bar of soap? Soap carving is easy, fun and safe. Even children can use soap to create a sculpture. It is much safer than wood carving. When you are finished with your work, you can use the soap, or display it as a decoration.
After seeing quite a few examples of unusual types of art, are there any you are unfamiliar with? Even if you are a big art fan, you probably haven't heard of at least one. As you are probably already aware, creative people are often seen as eccentric. When it comes to art, having a creative imagination can come in handy. You can certainly see the wild imagination shown by many artists.
Of course, we did not cover every type of weird art imaginable. However, is there a specific type you would like to share in comments? You may have an idea of your own. The human imagination is amazing. People will continue creating the most unique pieces of art for many years to come.

Ikea Released Instructions on How to Make Your Own Jon Snow-Style Cape
Jon Snow may be the King in the North, but like you, he also shops at Ikea—well, at least costume designer Michele Clapton does. The Game of Thrones designer revealed that Snow's cape is actually made of cut-up Ikea rugs, and now the Swedish furniture brand is making it easier than ever for you to dress up like the White Wolf this Halloween.
First, pick up an Ikea sheepskin rug like the Rens ($30; ikea.com) or the Tejn ($15; ikea.com), and then follow these instructions to turn it into a Jon Snow-style cape. Using a pair of scissors, cut out a hold for your head and shoulders in the middle of the rug, and then place it over your head for some North of the Wall-level warmth.
Of course, to fully complete your King in the North costume, you'll also need a black cloak, Valyrian-steel sword, and an "I've seen some s—" facial expression that comes from taking a knife in the heart by your own men.
Winter (and Halloween) are coming.

By James Trimarco
Advocates of rights for whales and dolphins made strides last night, as the documentary Blackfish aired on CNN during prime-time hours. The film tells the story of orca whales kept in captivity at the Seaworld theme parks in California, Florida and Texas.
Blackfish is not easy to watch. Scenes of huge whales swimming despondently past human families are subtly disturbing. Then the film gets less subtle.
Mostly through the testimony of former SeaWorld employees, it shows how the whales, frustrated and bored with their captivity, lash out from time to time in acts of aggression. These eventually led to the deaths of two trainers—Keltie Byrne and Dawn Brancheau—as well as a young man named Daniel P. Dukes, who had snuck into the park at night. Blackfish also suggests that the company repeatedly attempted to cover up these problems.
If social media was any indication, the film hit viewers in an unusually visceral way. Consider a few sample tweets:
Watching #Blackfish has me in tears.
—Janell Suarez @Janell_Suarez
After watching #blackfish on CNN, I'm not going to @SeaWorld ever again. Very eye-opening and disturbing.
—Brandon Ford @bfor2384 More....

Judging or be ashamed of using an OS/product due its Name/Brand, as in "I use Windows because I don't like the name/pronouncing Ubuntu(ʊˈbʊntu)" for example, is plain silly (No Offense).
In my case I can pronounce XigmaNAS as either "Sig-ma-NAS", "Zig-ma-NAS" or even simply use "ΣNAS" as a short.
On the other hand, you can always run a Full Platform and apply your own GUI theme changing brand/logos/icons etc., or fork/build a custom distro with your naming/branding requirements.
Between there are always choices like FreeNAS(be mentally prepared if you plan to use their forums) and Open Media Vault(OMV), or even easier there's the of-the-shelf NAS, if either the manufacturer locked or data integrity if not as important for you as the brand name.

Lincoln Village Ministry | Huntsville AL
Just a few miles from the most expensive houses in the inner city of Huntsville were men, women, and children surviving without the basic necessities. No running water or electricity. Plumbing didn't work and floors were rotted from leaking pipes. Children had broken toys and went to bed hungry. A man with a heart for this inner city neighborhood stepped into the home of a little girl and her mother. That visit opened the man's eyes and eventually a community's eyes to the great need in their midst: the need for Christ.
Lincoln Village Ministries is the product of one man's call to action. The call has spread all over the city of Huntsville to pour out the hope and love of Jesus Christ into the Lincoln community.

1. In a saucepan, warm the ghee or oil over medium-low heat. Add the cumin and fennel seeds and sauté for a minute until the seeds start to release their aroma. Add the powdered spices and sauté for another minute.
2. Add the soaked beans. Then add water and raise the heat to bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover and cook until beans are soft (about 45 minutes to an hour). Check periodically and add more water as needed to prevent sticking on the bottom and provide as much "sauce" as you desire.
4. Halfway through, add the sliced carrots and ginger.
5. After 45 minutes to an hour, test the beans – they should be soft with no crunch. Otherwise, keep cooking! Serve over basmati rice and garnish each serving with fresh cilantro, a few squeezes of fresh lime, additional ghee and/or ginger, and salt to taste.

What do you mean no internet?!
Yeah, so our internet has been down for at least a month, one week of which we were out-of-town, so we didn't really care. Let's just say we now care! Initially it was sporadic, at best. Now zip, notta, zilch, zero. We've been siphoning off our neighbor's wi-fi for some time, I'm embarrassed to say, albeit we were granted permission to use it. I've been so desperate a couple of times that I've actually filled out important school forms via my cellphone's data!
It has become astounding to me what all we do that requires internet access. I didn't realize how dependent I've become on it for reading, researching, checking email and social media, signing up for events, and on the list goes. If I'm being honest, I feel like I'm trying to detox off of drugs! It's like I can sit here holding my laptop just so, waiting for the signal to (fingers crossed!) pull in from my neighbor's wi-fi, or I can go to the nearest McD's offering free wi-fi service and hang out in the parking lot as if I'm waiting on my drug fix. I'm now an internet junkie!
"Hello, my name is Aimee, and I'm addicted to the internet."
Depending on how I "spin" my current situation, I feel freed from the bind the bandwidth has had on me. It's amazing how much more I've accomplished around the house since being without. On the flip side, I'm keeping a rather lengthy list of all that needs to be done once I'm back among the living and can connect to the information super highway. If you really think about it, it's hard to imagine a time when we weren't so connected to all things IT. With less and less personal interaction and the continued rise of being a 'one man show on the go', it's no wonder one is left scratching his head when the internet is down.
Soon enough, I'll be back in business. For now, though, I think I'll kick back and enjoy my newfound freedom. Heck, I may actually get some work done around the house, finish reading a book, and even have dinner ready on time for a change!

When I arrived here alone, I started to learn English. It is now very good. Then I took a computer course for six months. Now I'm taking this Human Rights course with InZone. Once I'm done with it, I'll be able to help my community and other people anywhere in the world. I will apply for scholarships. That's also why I've worked so much on my English. Here in Kenya, my secondary education is not recognized. It's an issue. My opportunities here are limited. I haven't been able to go to university yet, although I've tried.

Essentially, program slicing is a method for decomposing programs by analyzing their data and control flow. It has many applications in the field of software engineering (e.g., program understanding, maintenance, debugging, reuse, merging, testing, etc). This concept was originally introduced by Weiser in the context of imperative programs. Surprisingly, there are very few approaches to program slicing in the context of declarative programming. Roughly speaking, a program slice is a subset of the program statements which are (potentially) related with the values computed at some program point and/or variable, referred to as a slicing criterion. Program slices are usually computed from a program dependence graph. Program dependences can be traversed backwards or forwards (from the slicing criterion), which is known as backward or forward slicing, respectively. Additionally, slices can be dynamic or static, depending on whether a concrete program's input is provided or not. A complete survey on program slicing can be found in [Tip95].
The main purpose of partial evaluation techniques is to specialize a given program w.r.t. part of its input data (hence it is also known as program specialization). The partially evaluated program will be (hopefully) executed more efficiently since those computations that depend only on the known data are performed (at partial evaluation time) once and for all. Many online partial evaluation schemes follow a common pattern: given a program and a partial call, the partial evaluator builds a finite representation (generally a graph) of the possible executions of the (partial) call, and then systematically extracts a residual program (the partially evaluated program) from this graph. This view of partial evaluation clearly shows the similarities with program slicing: both techniques should construct a (finite) representation of some program execution, usually with part (or none) of the input data.
Here, we present a forward slicing tool based on (online) partial evaluation. While the construction of a graph representing some program execution is quite similar in both techniques, the extraction of the final program is rather different. Partial evaluation usually achieves its effects by compressing paths in the graph and by renaming expressions while removing unnecessary function symbols. In contrast, program slicing should preserve the statements of the original program. Roughly speaking, (forward) slicing can be regarded as a rather conservative form of partial evaluation; in particular, it can easily be desgined from a monovariant and monogenetic partial evaluation scheme (in order to preserve a one-to-one relation between the functions of the original and residual programs).
Our (forward) slicing tool for the multi-paradigm language Curry has been implemented by adapting an existing partial evaluator for Curry programs. It required a small implementation effort, i.e., only the underlying meta-interpreter needed significant changes.
Let us illustrate our slicing method by means of an example. Consider the following simple program to compute both the length and the maximum of a given list:
data Nat = Zero | Succ Nat data Op = Len | Max main Len xs = fst (lenmax xs) main Max xs = snd (lenmax xs) lenmax xs = (len xs, max xs) len [] = Zero len (_:xs) = Succ (len xs) max [x] = x max (x:y:ys) = if (leq x y) then max (y:ys) else max (x:ys) leq Zero y = True leq (Succ x) Zero = False leq (Succ x) (Succ y) = leq x y fst (a,_) = a snd (_,b) = bwhere natural numbers are build from constructors Zero and Succ. If the slicing criterion is the expression main Len xs (i.e., we are only interested in computing the length of a list), the computed slice would be:
data Nat = Zero | Succ Nat data Op = Len | Max main Len xs = fst (lenmax xs) lenmax xs = (len xs, T) len [] = Zero len (_:xs) = Succ (len xs) fst (a,_) = aHere, the second rule in the definition of function main has been removed, since it is not needed to execute the slicing criterion. Also, functions max, leq, and snd have been completely deleted. Finally, observe that the second component of the tuple in the rigth-hand side of function lenmax has been replaced by the special symbol T since the evaluation of this component is not necessary to evaluate the slicing criterion.
A complete description of the program slicing method can be found in [SV07].
The source files of the program slicing tool are in CurrySlicer.tgz; it contains
main xs = SLICE (main Len xs) SLICE x = xIf you want to play with the system, you can load in the program slicing tool as follows:
prelude> :l slicerThen, to compute the above slice, you can type
slicer> main "Examples/lenmax"where Examples/lenmax.curry is the source file. The output of the slicing process is shown on the screen (though in FlatCurry) and stored in the file Examples/lenmax_slice.curry. If you want to see the computed slice in standard Curry form, you may load in the file Examples/lenmax_slice.curry and, then, use the PAKCS utility show as follows:
slicer> :l Examples/lenmax_slice slicer> :show

Saturday morning I had the opportunity to hear Ken Wales (see May 31st post) speak. Mr. Wales has been a "Roaring Lamb" in Hollywood since before that term was coined. He is a believer, and a filmmaker par excellence. He regaled us with fascinating stories of his experience in the industry, but he also left us with some great advice and a number of challenges. Here are the four thoughts that most resonated with me:
1. Mentors are ESSENTIAL! This is not a new concept to me, as I have a friend who has made one of his personal crusades the promotion of the value of mentoring. And, I have had a couple of important mentors in my own life. Mr. Wales was fortunate enough to have two men-Sid Collins (Indianapolis Motor Speedway) and Glen Ford (actor) who mentored him from an early age and never stopped. He spoke about the inestimable value of having those two men in his life--personally and professionally.
2. Jeopardy and Danger. When Mr. Wales was a senior in high school he was hand picked to spend a week with Walt Disney. Mr. Disney wanted a teenage point of view an a number of projects, ideas, even Disney Land. In exchange, Mr. Wales got a first hand look at the entire Disney operation, at how Walt Disney interacted with his employees, and how the mind of this brilliant, creative genius worked. At the end of the week, Mr. Disney wrote a personal check to completely pay for Ken Wales' education at USC film school and gave him some valuable advice. He said he understood that Ken wanted to make family films, and that most people who set out to make family films forget two critical things: jeopardy and danger. A story with no tension, a family with no strife, a hero with no challenge is not real. People can't connect with it. It is meaningless. Jeopardy and danger are essential elements of any good story...hence, of any good film.
3. Relinquishment. Ken Wales had wanted to make a feature film based on Catherine Marshall's novel, Christy. He had been rejected a number of times, but CBS expressed interest in making it into a television series. He would not even consider it at first. He eventually prayed Catherine Marshall's prayer of relinquishment "giving up my way of doing it, not my dream, but my way of doing it". Soon he was approached again by CBS, this time he said yes and on the night of it's premier, it reached an audience of 48 million viewers. His dream had been achieved...millions of people had experienced this story that he loved.
4. Tell your stories. Don't let them evaporate. Write them down. Make a film. Tell them to others. You have stories in you that no one else can tell. Tell them.
Mr. Wales is currently developing a number of projects, including a sequel to Chariots of Fire and a film adaptation of C. S. Lewis' The Great Divorce.
