This is one of those pictures I want to actually get sucked into and experience for myself.
I am so drawn to this picture! Thank you for sharing your gift and talent with us!
One of my all-time favorites. Beautiful work.
One of my all-time favorites. Beautiful work.
I love the northern lights and this is the closest I will ever get to seeing them, beautiful on my monitor, thank ypu.
I like this one, and it works great on my dual 16:10 monitor setup, but on my triple 16:9, the igloo is sitting at the very bottom of the picture, which looks sorta strange. Is this supposed to be like this? I have taken the 16:10 triple and cropped it to fit with some space under the igloo.
Um…flip it so the igloo is on the RIGHT. *blush* The other left!
I adore this! The aurora is very realistic (I live in Alaska, so I feel I can say this with authority!) as well as beautiful.
The only thing I'd like to do differently is flip it horizontally so the igloo is on the left. If I do that myself though, the watermark is backwards, and I want to give credit where credit is due. (I want to use this as a background for my Magelo Profile, which actually means I'd have to shrink it, too – since their max pic size is 800×600. Easy enough to do with any of the 4:3 ratio pics though!)
I've been eagerly awaiting the dual screen version of this to be released, and I finally got my wish (just in time for Christmas). I hardly ever leave any kind of negative feedback, because almost all of your work doesn't require any, but I must add my request to re-crop the dual screen image of "Perseverance", because of the Igloo being cut off at the bottom of the screen. I don't know how easily you could do this (or if it's worth your time to do it), but it sure would make this image PERFECT, if it was re-cropped like that. Thanks again for all your talented work!!!!
Ryan, Thanks. Would you please take a look at 2x/perseverance12x3840.jpg and 3x/perseverance13x1440p.jpg they seem to have a strange diagonal cut (lower left going up on the right side about an inch). This is what I initially saw, and still do. I've cleared my cache (FF) and also tried it in IE. Same in both. If this is as intended – okay.
5760×1080 cuts off igloo. Any chance of a re-crop?
I like the single screen version of this one. The warmth of the igloo contrasted to the aurora is wonderful.
I downloaded the dual 16:9 image and the bottom of the igloo is cut off. I checked a different size (dual 16:10) and it includes that portion. Any way to render it a little more "zoomed out" to include the whole image, even when cropped to 16:9?
I love all your awesome artwork!
Yes, as I mentioned on the news page, I wasn't completely happy with how this one turned out. The bottom half will definitely get a redo. I won't look like the single-screen unfortunately no matter what I do. The frame isn't tall enough to fit aurora and surrounding glow. I will do my best though!
The Dual/Triple screens look like the bottom of the image did not completely render. On the single screen you can see the igloo glowing 360° on the ice, but on the D/T screens the glow is cut off on the ice [floor].
I call "Do over!" 🙂
I just found it on my own.. doh! Thanks 🙂
Ryan, can you put together or point out a compilation of your Christmas images? Thanks!
The multiscreen version is rendering now. Hope to have it up soon!
Beautiful. Dual screen, please!
Make it a triple-screen, and it'll be perfect. More of that awesome sky to see.
Absolutely beautiful! A stunning scene that just looks awesome! The sky and the tree line and the igloo are just great! Keep up the fantastic work! Also, it's very fitting considering the 2 feet of snow I'm currently under 🙂
As an answer to JMK in CT: Who's to say there wasn't a snowstorm that obliterated any traces of humanity; footprints, or whatever it would be? C'mon, use yer imagination! Then from others there's "tone this down, tone that down, this is great, BUT… overpowering. Not enough of this, not enough of that". Ryan, it looks fantastic. Don't change a thing. 'Nuff Sedd.
Great pic. Haven't visited the site for awhile and this is an appropriate pic for waking up to 3″ of snow and a 4 degree F windchill
I love the feel of this one, however I think the aurora should be toned down a bit. In this first version the aurora looks rather solid, like clouds being illuminate somehow; I think it should be wispier and broken up a bit.
The scene itself sir is beautifully done but I feel the lighting inside of the igloo could use some toning down. It's too bright in my opinion. Now that aurora on the other hand; I don't know if you've ever seen it before sir but you did a great job capturing the wave like motions of it.
Cold & elegant. Very nice.
Great idea. I find the light coming out of the igloo overpowering. It draws too much attention and detracts from the rest of the piece.
I really like this one. Perfect for the coming cold weather. I can't wait until you render it for dual screens!!!
I actually think I have a great idea – what about if the igloo was resting on a small snowy hill and the right side of the screen was a frozen lake. You could have light reflecting from the sky on the lake and lighting up the trees – which could serve to contrast the trees with the mountains in the backdrop!
I would be eternally grateful if you would make such a piece. Regardless, I appreciate you taking the time to read the comments. Thank you.

This piece has the potential to be one of my top 10 favorites you've made. (member for almost 10 years) (wow I'm getting old..).
Consider adding more detail to the snow in particular. The trees would be well-served to have more detail as well – maybe by dding more light to the backdrop of trees and distinguish the mountains behind them towards the right side.
Hope this gets seen. Thanks for all your work Ryan. All the best to you and your family.
I love this one! It's so beautiful. I agree a Christmas version would be awesome — perhaps the trees surrounding the igloo could be lit with Xmas lights?
it's pretty … would love the lake idea … could you put out the HD versions for iPhone and iPad?
This is whimsical and wonderful. Perfect pick me up for a snowy day. Absolutely perfect and looking forward to a dual screen where the main focus is on the left. Thank you!
This made me laugh. Love the title. 🙂
This is great! Is it too over the top if I ask if you would make a Christmas version of this?
Love this one. It seemed very familiar, and then I remembered that I have a photo I downloaded from Webshots years ago that is very similar. Main difference in the photo is that instead of an igloo, it is a small tent which is lit from the inside.
OK, I need to be a little logical here. First, yes its a nice piece BUT if someone built an igloo in the middle of nowhere where are their tracks? They had to build it out of snow. I see nothing in the scene showing where the blocks came from. Finally, I dont think the snow would be translucent enough to let the light of the fire bleed thru unless it was a very large fire but then that would melt the snow. However, I do love the sky.
A stunningly beautiful image. Amazing!
Nice.. but the 4k image is either truncated or perhaps it's still uploading? I only get the top 4/5ths of the image, cuts off at the middle of the igloo.
'Perseverance' resonates with the rhythm and beauty of nature. It is indeed beautiful.
Stunning. Instant favorite.
OMG… the best I have seen in a looooong time.
Pieces like this are the reason I got a lifetime subscription
Correction: I meant to say they'll move ON their own. Sorry. Beautiful, Gorgeous,… as the kids say…whatever. It's all of that, and the most.
To say it's beautiful is quite an understatement and an insult to this work, not that anyone's done that. This one is nothing short of gorgeous! You look at it long enough, and those swirls of light of the Aurora will start to move one their own! It is so enigmatic in such a simple way, it's elusive to convey how to best describe it. How 'bout this: It's cool, man. One of your absolute best, Ryan. Thank you for your wonderfully spirit-guided talent put to use, always a blessing to us all.
It IS quite beautiful AND actually made me LOL!
Absolutely Beautiful Wallpaper. I love it!
Keep up the great work Rayan!
First reaction: Ooooo. I do have to wonder what's going on in the igloo to make it glow like that.

Video: Bergen superintendent in nepotism scandal caught covering cameras
Dawn Fidanza was accused by the state of blocking cameras with stickers and demanding good performance evaluations for her daughter.
The superintendent of a small special-needs district in Bergen County who resigned amid a nepotism scandal can be seen in newly-released video climbing on chairs to cover surveillance cameras with paper and adhesive stickers.
The video footage was among evidence collected in the state's investigation of Dawn Fidanza, one of the highest-paid superintendents in the state, who was accused of giving special treatment to her daughter, who was also employed by the district.
The state found that Fidanza blocked security cameras, demanded good performance evaluations and secured a job transfer without approval — all in the name of nepotism for her daughter Julia.
Fidanza has not responded to requests for comment. The superintendent, who earns a base salary of $236,735, went on leave starting Monday and officially resigns Jan. 1.
The Education Department's Office of Fiscal Accountability and Compliance investigated Fidanza and the district, the South Bergen Jointure Commission, after getting an anonymous complaint.
More:Nepotism in South Bergen? Report says superintendent covered security cameras, demanded perfect scores
Investigators found that she transferred her daughter Julia into a new job without securing approval she needed from the Board of Education. Under anti-nepotism regulations, Fidanza was not supposed to have direct oversight of her daughter or to make decisions about her employment status.
She also pressured staff members to give Julia perfect scores on performance evaluations and fed them information she believed should go into those reviews, according to the state's report.
When she covered the security cameras, it was because because "she didn't want people to be able to see the comings and goings of her daughter," according to employees interviewed by investigators.
"It was nobody's business as to when she's coming and going," Fidanza's secretary, Suzanne Owens, told the state, explaining the superintendent's reasoning.
During the investigation, it was also determined that Fidanza used profanity in front of the staff. She admitted to that, calling herself an "F-bomber."
Despite findings, the Office of Fiscal Accountability and Compliance concluded that the district had not violated education statues or regulations. It referred the matter to the state Board of Examiners to take action "it deems appropriate."
Fidanza's letter of resignation, submitted to the Board of Education in August, made no mention of the nepotism scandal that has dogged her final months.
In the letter, Fidanza said she would miss her colleagues at the district where she had worked for 17 years — a dozen of those years as superintendent — and that she was "optimistic" about her future.
"One's professional life can easily define an individual due to the time and commitment expended," she wrote. "I can retire at this time knowing that I have given my best to the Jointure Commission, its families children and staff."
The state Treasury Department declined to say what her pension would be upon retirement.
Julia Fidanza, a clerk with the district, stopped working on June 30.
The board has appointed, David Goldblatt, who formerly led the Saddle River school district, as interim superintendent.

Are we using drugs rationally? A survey study from Turkey
Objectives: To investigate the rational use of drugs from patient's perspective.
Methods: This study was conducted at the Afyon Kocatepe University Training and Research Hospital between February and March 2013. Data were collected with a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and Chi-Square test were used.
Results: About 54% (n=419) of participants reported that they used drugs without the advice of a physician. The 19-24 age group, secondary and high school graduates, and students used drugs more often without consulting a physician (P < 0.05). Participants that used drugs after consulting a physician did not fully use the drugs as recommended by the physician, and physicians did not give patients adequate information about prescribed drug(s). 72% of participants stored drug(s) at home.
Conclusions: Rational use of drugs is not completely achieved. Certain patient groups and even physicians are closer to being a part of the irrational use of drugs.

Assassination Classroom, the classroom sci-fi manga adaptation, held on to second place on the box office charts and took its total to $17 million (?2 billion).
Local comedy April Fools took $1.35 million (?160 million) on Saturday and Sunday from 215 screens, after opening on the day of its title. About a sex-addict doctor who gets a woman pregnant after a one-night stand, it was written and directed by Junichi Ishikawa and Ryota Kosawa, the team behind the hit TV drama Legal High from Fuji TV, which also produced the movie.
Night at the Museum 3: Secret of the Tomb dropped one spot to fourth place on its third weekend of release, scoring another $1.2 million (?143 million) on Saturday and Sunday to take its local total past the $10 million mark.
Further down the chart, Jupiter Ascending dropped to ninth spot after bowing in sixth place last weekend, taking its total to $3 million.

Architect Beaconsfield Buckinghamshire (HP9): When considering what an architect does, most folks in Beaconsfield tend to visualise an individual sat at their drawing board or computer screen, developing an idea for a structure like the Shard, the Tate Modern, or some other fascinating structure. But in reality, the vast majority of architects do much more routine work designing office buildings, new build properties and house extensions, and also putting in planning applications to local councils for a range of development projects.
Beaconsfield architects could also be involved in locating a suitable piece of land for a specific building project, choosing the best materials for construction, and develop strategies for compliance with building and safety regulations.
If you are thinking of doing a home extension, loft conversion or other structure changing home improvement project, it's quite likely that you'll be needing the services of an architect at some stage. The services of a professional are essential in situations like this, and it's a false economy to try and proceed without them, merely on the grounds of expense.
Taking something like seven years to master their trade, by the time they are fully qualified, architects understand pretty much everything that there is to know about materials, construction and building techniques. Although architect services are certainly not cheap, seeking their design expertise and advice right from the start, could even save you money in the long run, and most of the costs of this can usually be clawed back by the time the project is finished. Costly re-builds and modifications dues to poor planning can be avoided, and there should be hardly any wastage on materials and resources.
In the case of most home improvements in Beaconsfield, property owners will hire a builder first, and hope that the builder can put them in contact with a decent architect. But this is rarely the most effective way to do it, and certainly isn't the only way. It can sometimes be preferable to speak with an architect first, consider all your requirements, benefit from their design skills, and walk away with detailed plans and a list of materials and specifications that the builder can work from.
This should make the process easier for the construction company or builder, and makes it possible for them to give a more precise estimate for the job, as they will have detailed information about the types and quantities of materials required and they won't have to speculate about what is needed for the work. They will also have clear and concise instructions about what's needed, with suggestions about the recommended ways to move forward.
A properly trained architect will be able to help you in lots of ways; from the planning and design of a new home, offering advice during the planning of an extension to your existing house or perhaps even provide professional advice on renovations that are needed to modernize an older property in Beaconsfield.
Right from the start of the project in Beaconsfield, your architect should be there to help with designs and blueprints to suit your budget, and at the same time comply with the relevant building standards and regulations. In the event you have already had your own plans and designs drawn up, the architect is able to study your drawings and highlight any concerns they feel may compromise the building taking into account most up-to-date legislation.
After your design has been agreed, your architect will create a number of detailed and precise technical plans that can be used by your builders to implement the design into your dream property. So as to ensure the budget is not being exceeded, and that the design is being correctly followed, the architect will visit the location and collaborate with the construction crew on a consistent basis, as work proceeds. From the early planning, through to the completion of the project, a good Beaconsfield architect will work along with contractors, engineers, surveyors, and also the local planning department, to ensure that your renovation or build runs as smoothly as possible, and satisfies both the current legislation and your own exacting specifications.
The Royal Institute of British Architects is the leading professional trade organisation for architects in the UK. To give the best quality service to people in Beaconsfield and across the globe, RIBA offers information and guidance on the working standards and code of conduct that every architect must observe, together with providing professional architects with a reliable training program. It requires five years of full time study and at least two years hands on experience before a trainee can register as a qualified architect with the ARB (Architects Registration Board) and put themselves forward for RIBA membership.
Architects Fees - Architect's fees are in general based upon a rate per unit area of the construction, an hourly rate, a percentage of the development costs or a fixed fee. Or in some situations it might involve a mixture of these. In general, residential construction projects incur architect's fees of about 12% to 20% of the overall construction cost, while renovation projects can attract even higher charges at 15% to 20%. For larger commercial projects a somewhat smaller percentage of between 4% and 12% will be demanded in architect's fees.
Interior Designer or Architect? - Every once in a while somebody asks the question "what exactly is the difference between an interior designer and an architect"? A lot of folks would consider that the two occupations merge and crossover on many occasions, while others would suggest that the difference is fairly obvious. To put it in layman's terms, the main focus of architects is the general design of a structure, with regards to the shape - the roof, the outer shell and the exterior walls, while interior designers concentrate mostly on the floor surfaces, the wall finishes, the furnishings, and various other internal features. However, there are also 'interior architectural designers' who still have to be fully qualified, but deal largely with the internal structure of a building, the spatial planning, the flow of internal space and the thermal attributes. They work on the look and feel of both residential and commercial buildings in Beaconsfield.
Architect services can be provided in Beaconsfield and also in: Penn, Hedgerley, Chalfont St Peter, Wexham Street, Flackwell Heath, Gerrards Cross, Seer Green, Jordans, Forty Green, Wooburn Green, The Broadway, Cookham, Knotty Green, Chalfont St Giles, Holtspur, Stoke Poges, as well as in these postcodes HP9 1NH, HP9 1JZ, HP10 0LB, HP9 1HF, HP9 1BE, HP9 1AQ, HP9 1EJ, HP9 1DU, HP9 1NU, HP9 1EX. Locally based Beaconsfield architects will likely have the dialling code 01494 and the postcode HP9. Checking this out should ensure that you access local architects. Beaconsfield property owners are able to utilise these and countless other similar services.
New Build and Self-Build Architects Beaconsfield
Offering the skills, expertise and know-how necessary at every stage of the design and build process, the services of a professional architect will be essential for anyone who's thinking about constructing a new home in Beaconsfield, whether it's new build or self-build. They will deal with every area of developing a stunning new home in Beaconsfield, including things like building regulations compliance, builder selection, project inspection and planning permission applications.
To outline your specific needs, including budget, site information, spatial requirements and technical specifications, an initial project brief will be drawn up. You'll be offered a number of different design options (viewable in 3D architectural visualisation), based on the details laid out in the brief. The majority of Beaconsfield architects will also be happy to offer you project management services, enabling them to supervise every phase of the construction process from planning and design to completion.

Listed are just a handful of the tasks that are accomplished by local architects. Beaconsfield professionals will keep you informed about their entire range of architect's services.
Searching On the Internet
The first thought for most when they are looking to find services and products in Beaconsfield, is to access the internet with their mobile or tablet. In fact, you probably used Yahoo, Google, Ask or Bing to find the webpage that you're viewing at this point. One difficulty is often that the page 1 results displayed by the major league search engines might not exactly be the ones that you were needing.
Most folks, when looking to find architects in Beaconsfield will enter "architects near me", "architects Beaconsfield", "architect in Beaconsfield" or "Beaconsfield architects" into a search engine and analyze the resulting listings. However, you'll quickly come to realise that many of the consequential page 1 listings on search engines like Google will be either pay per click (PPC) results or entries from lead generation portals such as Checkatrade, Quotatis, Star of Service, Rated People, Bark, TrustaTrader or My Builder, or business directories like Yell, 3 Best Rated, Hotfrog or Yelp. Without big budgets for search engine optimization so as to move their web sites farther up the rankings, the majority of architects are going to be hidden on the 2nd or 3rd pages of the search results.
Day to Day Tasks of an Architect
- Producing plans which abide by building laws and safety regulations
- Visiting sites to check building work and progress
- Producing hand drawn sketches, 3D models and in depth technical plans using computer aided design software
- Overseeing and managing construction projects

Minnesota Remodelers has done several different projects for us over the last few years! They are our "go to" contractors because of their quality of workmanship! The jobs included remodeling our lower level walkout, replacing the patio door and the front door, major deck overhaul with all new aluminum railings… to name a few. John is great to work with! He's responsive, courteous, professional and his rates are good! Super nice guy with extensive knowledge in home remodeling!

We want to give an unqualified, high recommendation for Minnesota Remodelers. John, Ben and crew did an amazing job on our front porch re-build! They listened to all of our ideas, gave us suggestions on how to make them work, and then incorporated them into a design that really gave us the beautiful porch we had hoped for. They also identified and then solved the little oddball problems that come up in every home project. John and crew really take pride in their work. Demo started Monday morning and by Thursday night we were enjoying our porch (and are the talk of the neighborhood!). Thanks John!

Minnesota Remodelers renovated my bathroom last fall and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. John Pearce was wonderful to work with and very accessible and responsive to all my needs and questions as the project proceeded. I highly recommend Minnesota Remodelers for your bathroom remodeling.

John has a vast amount of experience and believes in doing top-notch work for his customers. I am now thinking of more projects he and his crew can do for us in our home!

The Google Lunar X Prize, which plans to award a $30 million prize to the first team that can land a robot on the moon and travel 500 meters on the lunar surface, is holding a popularity contest. Meaning, you can vote for your favorite lunar-bound team.
Pete Bitar, of the Lunatrex team, is asking for your vote. Bitar also heads Xtreme Alternative Defense Systems (XADS), which makes combat vertipods, photonic disruptors, and the StunStrike™ Improvised Ordnance Detonator (IOD). Basically, once his team gets to the moon, he'll be set to blast any Chinese bases into smithereens. I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Here's Bitar's real pitch for why you should vote for his team, Lunatrex:
Here's my two cents: I profiled Bitar and his company several years ago when he was just in start-up mode; now XADS is well established, and getting some reasonably big Pentagon contracts. Bitar's company was literally started from scratch, beating some heavy odds in a field dominated by Pentagon connections.

Luke 9, 57-62:
"Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.
We are all living in times of insecurity. And we all like security.
We like to know where we are going.
We like to be safe where we are.
We want safety at work. We want security in health. In short, we want to live safely and have a place to live.
But following Jesus often means not knowing where Jesus wants us. Where Jesus calls us. Where Jesus wants us to be.
Jesus has no "where".
Because the "where" of Jesus is there where one can best serve, where service is most needed and where dedication is most necessary.
Follow Jesus with absolute confidence that you will be happy in the "where" that he is indicating to you.
Good day to you.
Antonio Maria Sanjuan Marin, cmf

Are there different Unicolor drums?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Large format photography : One Thread
I recently placed an order with B&H. Among other things, I ordered an 8x10 Unicolor drum. The guy asked me if I wanted the $50 film drum or the $15 drum. I went for the $15, but told him I wanted the one with ridges inside. It came today. It is white with a smaller black tube sticking out. Inside it is completely smooth. Should I have purchased the $50 drum? Are there different types of Unicolor drums?
Thanks, Dave
-- David Willis (email@example.com), February 02, 2001
You should have purchased the $50 drum. You can find them used for $5 to $25. I purchased mine for $5 at a local camera shop. You could also consider the Beseler drum. It is a nice product but I selected the Unicolor drum because I liked the Unicolor motor base roller.
-- Ron Lawrence (firstname.lastname@example.com), February 02, 2001.
A Unicolor-brand print drum, used for developing sheet film and prints, is black, has ribs and ridges inside, nothing sticking out and a bayonet-on cap. Very early ones (25+ years) are white but otherwise similar.
You may have gotten a very old Unicolor film drum; it'll take only plastic reels or steel reels with the appropriate center tubes.
-- John Hicks (firstname.lastname@example.com), February 02, 2001.
I have been search high and low for new uniroller motorbase and drums, does anyone know a source where I could order from. I wouldn't want to go the Ebay route, half the time, either I get leaking drum or hairline crack, or the motor went bust after a couple of weeks.I wonder if they are still been made and sold? Thanks in advance, James
-- James (email@example.com), April 11, 2001.
Unicolor drums and motors haven't been made in quite a while. With _lots_ of digging you might find new old stock somewhere.
-- John Hicks (email@example.com), April 11, 2001.

As a business owner, it has always been your hope that you could pass the business on to one of your children. You view it as an asset for them, but you also view it as a sort of legacy. You've created this business for them and you want them to benefit from it.
However, people often just assume that the children want the business without actually spending the time talking to them. It's important to keep them in the loop on this process, and you ideally want to have these conversations as soon as you can. The more you can learn about their desires for the business and for their future, the better your planning will go.
After all, maybe your children don't want the family business. Then you have to consider what other steps you'll need to take or what options you have.
What can you do?
The easiest thing to do if the children don't want to take over is to sell the business. You may decide to sell it to an up-and-coming employee who would like to take control, or you may look for a third party outside of the business itself. But selling works because it generates an influx of cash, and you can then leave this money to your children. In this way, they still benefit from the business and it is a legacy that you're passing on, even if they're no longer running the company.
Throughout this whole process, take the time to carefully consider all of the legal steps necessary to make sure that everything goes smoothly for your family.

Hi,my babies are on 5-6 weeks in soil,18 hours of light a day except for one 24hr period a week ago…now they are starting to flower….is this too early? Thank you.💁
Not uncommon for autos to flower after the 30 day mark, they like to do whatever they want but doesn't mean it won't turn out beautifully. Keep us updated
Normal for autoflower…actually, they can start around 3 to 4th week…
Thank you much.Will do.
I appreciate the in fo,Homegrown seeds are the best I have tried.
I just went through something similar myself. Feminized autoflower seeds from a well known commercial seed-bank, a few seeds from a good friend, grew them all in a 3 x3 x 6 tent and within 5 weeks my males (which I was breeding purposely, inside for genetic purposes) bloomed and sprouted and the females were already whiskered and poof-balled. (Is that a technical word? I guess not, but you all know what the "Poof-balled" stage is…Preteen? LOL).
Anyway, yes, now a days even the autoflower and "fast flower" genetics have swept through things and often I have found funky and unusual or neat phenotypes (fun, unusual cannabis plants). If I was even 1/8th of a the breeder like MDBuds, Kronic, KMac, MrB and or a few others, well… I'd be the Queen of Kush. Peace to all!
Thank you, I am very illiterate when comes to growing your own so much appreciated!

DENVER (AP) — Diminished revenues from Colorado's depressed energy sector and court-ordered tax rebates to oil companies mean lawmakers will face the prospect of spending cuts to avert a general fund shortfall next fiscal year.
That's one takeaway from revenue forecasts released Tuesday by legislative and administration analysts.
Chief legislative economist Natalie Mullis said lawmakers could face a $63 million shortfall in funding for education, prisons and other obligations.
Henry Sobanet, Gov. John Hickenlooper's budget director, said the administration is focusing on stabilizing the general fund.
Both forecast moderate economic growth in Colorado in 2017.
Hickenlooper must present a budget proposal by Nov. 1 for the fiscal year that begins next July.

Aurora Artistic
Basic Information
Business Name: Aurora Artistic Website: www.auroraartistic.com Established: 2020 Questions answered by: Amy Caldwell
Social Media
About Them
Can you please fully explain your business or product line?
I take photographs of the northern lights and make them into jewelry and other items such as bookmarks and keychains. I do all of the photography, photo processing, editing, printing, and assembly of the jewelry items myself.
The only part I don't do is fabricate the metals, but I do try to use affordable, lead/nickel-free and hypoallergenic materials whenever possible. My business is just starting out, so I am always looking for new/different items & materials and trying out new things.
With the Winnipeg local maker community continuing to grow, what is the most important thing you'd like potential customers of your company to know?
I've only been in business officially for under a year, but I have been taking pictures of the northern lights for several years now and have always been involved in artistic pursuits; everything from music to drama to visual arts like drawing and photography.
I spent over a decade of my life working in art and graphic design, so art is a huge part of my life. To capture something as breathtaking as the northern lights and be able to take the images with you in nontraditional forms was a very appealing idea to me. I like to think of my pieces as wearable art and I'm excited to share my version of wearable art with the world.
What inspired you to start your business?
I love the idea of being able to take the northern lights with you. To be able to literally wear them around your neck, and to be able to easily and affordably gift them to friends and loved ones. Traditional prints and canvases are beautiful, but they can be big and hard to move, to send as a gift, or even find the right frame for. I wanted to try something less physical and cumbersome.
I also live in a place where the lights are often active and many talented photographers sell their own photos, so I wanted to find a way to present mine in a new way. Since I'm a lover of jewelry myself, it was a natural way for me to try something a little different. I started selling them at craft sales a few years ago and received such a great response when I told people that they were my own photos that I decided to try and make it into a full-fledged business.
What was the biggest struggle you've had to overcome?
Learning about business is still something I work on every day. As someone who has been artistically inclined since birth, I've never had an interest in anything scientific, mathematical, or business-related and really never had much of an aptitude for anything outside of the creative realm.
I now know that I can't only be successful in the artistic part of the process; I need to know my books just as well. I'm working hard, still learning, and I'm sure I have a lot of learning yet ahead of me!
What has been your biggest success as a maker?
So far, I think the biggest success has been all the positive feedback. Hearing from customers who have really enjoyed my pieces or who have congratulated me for having the idea to do it. It was a passion of mine that I've been fortunate enough to turn into a source of income and I really do love what I do.
I'm just getting started, so I hope that there will be more successes in the future, but for the moment having control over my company and still getting to do what makes me happy feels like a pretty big success.
Do you have any advice that you would pass on to someone hoping to start up their own business or product line?
Learn as much as you can about how to start a business before you launch. There are lots of resources out there through social media as well as free webinars through the Winnipeg World Trade Centre and other agencies that can really help.
Please share any upcoming events as well as the best place(s) for people to purchase your product!
I'm always open for business online and often have special sales or discounts.
You can also sign up for an email newsletter on the main page of my site which will keep you updated any time there's a deal or promotion happening.

Friends actor James Michael Tyler dies aged 59
The actor was diagnosed with cancer in 2018.
Friends actor James Michael Tyler has died at the age of 59.
The actor was best known for playing Gunther in the popular American comedy.
Tyler died peacefully at his home in Los Angeles on Sunday, October 24th.
His manager issued a statement following his passing: "If you met him once you made a friend for life. [He] is survived by his wife, Jennifer Carno, the love of his life."
"Michael loved live music, cheering on his Clemson Tigers, and would often find himself in fun and unplanned adventures."
"Wanting to help as many people as possible, he bravely shared his story and became a campaigner for those with a prostate to get a blood test as early as 40-years-old," his manager added.
"The world knew him as Gunther (the seventh Friend)... but Michael's loved ones knew him as an actor, musician, cancer-awareness advocate, and loving husband."
The actor was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2018. It later spread to his bones.
Warner Bros paid tribute to the actor: "Warner Bros. Television mourns the loss of James Michael Tyler, a beloved actor and integral part of our FRIENDS family. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, colleagues, and fans."
Tyler appeared in the Friends Reunion earlier this year.
He said his time on the show was "very, very special".
"It was the most memorable 10 years of my life, honestly. I could not have imagined just a better experience," the actor added.

There is a divide among snowdrop growers, a contrast in styles between those who collect snowdrops and those who garden with them. For some, there is nothing more attractive than a new variety, another snowdrop a little different to their eyes, another flower of exquisite beauty to be appreciated in its individuality. For others, snowdrops are simply snowdrops to be enjoyed in mass rather than individually, aiming at developing good spreads of snowdrops which make an impact in the garden. I'm sure most of us find ourselves somewhere in between. Our gardens may be small and only allow small spots of snowdrops sprinkled about, a beautiful winter interest, with those which are especially good sturdy growers giving that impression of the drifts of white we admire so very much.
There is a special joy in visiting a garden where the snowdrops are simply snowdrops, individually nothing particularly special about them but planted in such number that they create that perfect winter snowdrop scene with drifts of white beneath deciduous trees. It is, in a sense, a very pure form of gardening with snowdrops for it takes the essence of snowdrops, their whiteness, and features that quality alone, strength in numbers rather than featuring individuals.
A walk around the grounds at Burtown House in Co. Kildare with Lesley Fennell last week brought us to a snowdrop display I have described above – simple plantings in big drifts of good strong growing snowdrops which make a wonderful visual impact by their numbers. Of course, there is room for those special snowdrops also and Lesley keeps these in a bed close to the house to be enjoyed without the need to walk any distance, a great advantage in poor weather.

Verbascum thapsus
A go-to for most respiratory complaints, mullein opens the airways, soothes and moistens respiratory tissues and clears mucous and congestion. Some herbalists advocate smoking mullein to alleviate cough, congestion and asthma. A wash can be applied topically to soothe and clear heat from sunburn and hemorrhoids. Mullein infused oil, often made with the blossoms of the second-year mullein plant, is sometimes warmed and dripped into the ears to relieve earache.

Mayor Libby Schaaf has proclaimed Oct. 15-19 as "Clean Economy Week" in Oakland, as the city prepares to host the upcoming VERGE 18 conference and expo.

Over the course of three days, starting Oct. 16, VERGE 18 will convene more than 2,500 cross-sector leaders at the Oakland Convention Center. Attendees will represent some of the world's largest companies, as well as utilities, city and regional governments, policy makers, NGOs, solution providers and startups.
"As an Oakland-based business, GreenBiz Group is proud to bring VERGE 18 to our hometown," said Pete May, president of GreenBiz Group.

Selecting an Immigration Regulation Attorney
Having problems with your immigration reputation? Dealing with immigration legal requirements can be highly sophisticated, often requiring any specialized immigration regulations attorney to handle your current case. If you are choosing an attorney to handle immigration proceedings of any kind of, it is a good idea to work alongside an attorney that specializes in this specific field. While many basic attorneys can provide legitimate help for immigration services, very few provides the in-depth research and legal portrayal that an immigration legislation attorney can provide. Some other kind of attorney may well not have the focus and also skill needed to earn your case.
A huge concern when using the services of immigration law law firms is their capacity to stay current on the newest immigration policies. Immigration law changes often, often becoming more technical. An attorney needs to keep up to date on these kinds of changes to ensure that while fighting your circumstance, they are representing an individual with full familiarity with immigration law. Hence, when looking for an immigration attorney, it is best to analysis whether the firm maintains a track record of immigration regulation changes as resistant that they can maximize successful representation of their clientele. Also look to determine if the firm provides membership in the Us Immigration Lawyers Relationship, as that is ordinarily a good sign the firm keeps up-to-date with the latest within immigration law.
While deciding which immigration law attorney to engage, look for a successful background in the specific part of immigration law when you need legal help. This may include deportation or detention, employment-based visa petitions, family-based immigrant visas, or perhaps other special immigration petitions or assignments. Choose a law firm that may be well-known for succeeding cases in that certain aspect of immigration rules.

Forged carbon has gradually become one of the most renowned materials across every circle. From jewelry and horology to cars and cutlery, it's become quite the commodity. Harping on the prior, Shinola is looking to get in on the action. The Michigan-bred manufacturer is paying tribute to their neighbor state of Minnesota and its Black Beach for the sake of their Forged Carbon Monster Automatic Dive Watch, and they claim it's their strongest and most technologically-advanced diver to date — to no surprise.
Forged carbon is known for its highly-applicable versatility and great sense of durability, all the while remaining surprisingly lightweight. Shinola uses this coveted material to its advantage, crafting the bolstered Monster's 45mm case out of the material by applying heat and pressure to a combination of carbon fiber shards and resin. The formidable timepiece runs on a Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement and is an ISO-6425-spec diver with 300m water resistance. As far as the dial is concerned, its polished gunmetal finish is accentuated by Super-LumiNova-infilled hands and applied indices, while the watch's fully-marked dive bezel is executed in the same black and orange forged carbon as the case. Equipped with both a black rubber strap or leather-backed orange nylon strap, The orange accenting — which also shows up on the leather-backed nylon strap — evokes the rust-orange cliffs that surround Black Beach. As an added tribute to Minnesota's enriching history, the etched case back highlights the Great Lakes.
Boldly colored and immensely rugged, the Detroit brand's latest diver is sure to catch the attention of just about anybody, while remaining lightweight enough to forget you're even wearing it. Shinola's Forged Carbon Monster is currently available to purchase on the brand's website for $2,995.

THE MAHARASHTRA government Thursday told the Bombay High Court that it will not arrest NCB Mumbai Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede without giving him prior notice of three working days in connection with allegations of extortion and corruption levelled against him.
Wankhede had approached the High Court seeking transfer of the Mumbai Police's probe into complaints of alleged extortion against NCB officers, including himself, to the CBI.
The officer has been in the eye of a political storm following allegations of extortion in the high-profile cruise drugs bust case in which actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan was arrested. He had led the team that conducted the alleged drugs bust.
Wankhede is also facing an NCB vigilance probe into allegations levelled by a witness in the cruise ship case, Prabhakar Sail, of an extortion bid of Rs 25 crore by agency officials and independent witnesses to let off Aryan.
On Thursday, a division bench of Justice Nitin M Jamdar and Justice Sarang V Kotwal said the assurance given by the state government in a statement made by the Public Prosecutor will suffice for Wankhede's petition. "Needless to state, we have not commented on the merits of the case," the High Court said.
Wankhede's lawyers Atul Nanda and Rameeza Hakim claimed that he has realised the "design" behind the complaints against him but did not take names consciously to "keep the majesty of law".
"There is a vigilance probe ordered against me and the state is going beyond its duty despite me being a Central Government officer probing the case. I will cooperate with the NCB, but now the state has formed an SIT. I am personally attacked by the state and my apprehension is that they will arrest me any day and therefore, interim protection is needed," Wankhede's counsel said.
Appearing on behalf of the state government, Chief Public Prosecutor Aruna Pai said Wankhede's petition is premature and that no FIR has been filed yet. "We had received four applications against private individuals, including Kiran Gosavi (an NCB witness in the alleged drugs bust)… We are just doing a preliminary enquiry and have not registered any FIR," Pai said.
On Sunday, Wankhede wrote to Mumbai Police Commissioner Hemant Nagrale, seeking protection from likely legal action "being planned" against him by unknown persons to "falsely frame" him in connection wih a vigilance issue.
On Wednesday, NCB Deputy Director General (northern region), Gyaneshwar Singh, said the bureau has started recording the statement of Wankhede in connection with the vigilance probe.

Brown floor and wall porcelain tiles add warmth to domestic and commercial settings. Dark brown, light brown, tobacco: Keope porcelain tiles are available in several shades, styles and effects.
Brown floor and wall tiles
Brown wood-effect porcelain tiles are now a widely used solution that replaces natural wood. Wood-effect porcelain tiles are resistant, durable, easy to clean and the production process used by Ceramiche Keope also makes them an environment-friendly choice that reduces CO2 emissions to zero. Numerous stylistic possibilities are available, just as many shades, from the oak brown of the Lineo wood-effect tiles to the light brown sand-coloured tiles of the Evoke series.
However, brown also fits perfectly in ceramic surfaces inspired by other elements, sometimes recalling coffee in the concrete-effect Moov Moka and marble-effect 9Cento Ombra Moca solutions, or tobacco, as in the case of stone-effect Chorus Tobacco.
Brown porcelain tile collections by Keope
Keope surfaces leave plenty of freedom for creativity and floor and wall tiles can be used in the most diverse settings: bathrooms, kitchens, living and sleeping areas, but also studios, offices, commercial premises and outdoor public or private areas.
Discover below the Keope brown porcelain tiles. In some cases our brown tiles are also available in the 20-mm version and large slabs.

These Candy Crush level 1060 cheats and tips will help you beat level 1060 of Candy Crush. The objective of Candy Crush level 1060 is to Collect 10 striped candies, 5 wrapped candies and one striped/wrapped combination in 30 moves.
Level 1060 Cheat #1: Focus on the Liquorice Locks at the Top of the Board First
Candy Crush Saga Level 1060's board is characterised by three separate rows of liquorice locks on the board. Liquorice locks at the top can especially be troublesome because candies are not able to shuffle well on the board since the liquorice does not allow free movement of candies. Therefore, the liquorice locks at the top should be your priority.
Candy Crush Saga Level 1060 is majorly about special candies, but these usually require a lot of space to make. Therefore, it is important to clear the liquorice locks both to make some space and also to allow better shuffling of candies, which will increase your chances of making special candies. Special candies are all you need to complete this level, so doing this helps you to meet the objective of the level.
Level 1060 Cheat #2: Stop the Chocolate From Spreading
Candy Crush Saga Level 1060's liquorice locks need to be cleared, but you need to be aware that once you clear them, chocolate begins to spread on your board. This does not mean that it is better not to clear the liquorice, no. The liquorice is a bigger obstacle than chocolate.
However, chocolate can be a very big obstacle if you allow it to spread. You may find yourself constantly looking for opportunities to make the striped and wrapped candies which you need to achieve the objective of the level, but you also need to put a keen eye on the chocolate. This is because if the chocolate spreads a lot, it will end up taking up the very space which you cleared when you did away with the liquorice.
Level 1060 Cheat #3: Use Conveor belt to Clear the Liquorice as you Make the Striped Candies
Candy Crush Saga Level 1060's objective involves having to make 10 striped candies. Making striped candies is not exactly easy, so an easier way to have them would do you good. Once you have cleared the liquorice locks and you are taking care of the chocolate so that it does not spread all over, you should be in a position to make a colour bomb.
The conveyor belt provides a very good opportunity to clear the liquorice locks because it has special candies moving in it. A few moves after you begin, look out for a stripe and wrap coming around on the conveyor belt just below that first layer of liquorice. After this, keep observing the candies moving on the conveyor belt so you do not miss a chance to clear some more liquorice and collect the special candies you need in Candy Crush Saga Level 1060.
Are you more of a visual learner? Watch this gameplay video for Candy Crush level 1060 to help you beat the level. Notice the different strategies this player uses to improve your Candy Crush Saga game.

|Constructing control in the global shipping industry : the development of regulations for CO₂ emissions
|MacNeill-Weir, Alison Elizabeth
|Awarding Body:
|University of St Andrews
|Current Institution:
|University of St Andrews
|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
Shipping transports between 80-90% of world trade (Smith et al. 2015). In 2012 the industry accounted for around 3% of global emissions with a predicted increase of between 50 and 250% by 2050 (Scott et al, 2017). As such, the question of how to regulate Shipping's CO₂ emissions in line with international climate change agreements (e.g. the Paris Agreement) is of major concern. Current CO₂ regulations have been criticized as ineffective (Devanney 2010) with growing calls for new regulations (Cullinane & Cullinane 2013; Wan et al. 2018). Existing literature on the regulation of Shipping tends towards impact assessments, scientific critiques and general overviews. This thesis contributes an ethnography of the development of new regulations. Ontologically constructionist, the research is guided by Actor-Network Theory, chosen for its applicability in scientific and technical communities, appreciation of non-human agency and its conceptualization of control through networked heterogeneity. The thesis follows development of new regulations in the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Directed by two questions 'What actors constitute the MEPC?' and 'How does it create regulations?' the thesis offers an account of the actors and processes that enable the construction of control over Shipping emissions. This account is produced from observational, interview, documentary and photographic data. The study contributes to the limited literature on Shipping regulation in three ways: (i) examining actor-roles in the network; (ii) illustrating network convergence informed by sociological framings of translation (Callon 1986a) and treason (Galis & Lee 2013); and (iii) tracing the agential qualities of concepts and principles enacted and acting in the MEPC. Their shared characteristics are distilled to create the typology: Meta-actor which strengthens the descriptive capabilities of ANT, extends the core principle of symmetry, facilitates new identifications of networked power, and illustrates a link between influence and vulnerability. Overall the thesis shows how a heterogeneous network of actors converges to produce regulation for the reduction of CO₂ emissions from Shipping.

From Town & Country
Kamala Harris is not afraid to make a statement—she just doesn't do it with her clothes.
The Vice Presidential candidate arrived at last night's debate prepared to lacerate her opponent with her notoriously incisive arguments, wearing an outfit designed to shrink into the background. Placed side-by-side onscreen—she in her black pantsuit, black shirt, pearls, and flag pin; he in his black suit, white shirt, red tie, and flag pin—Harris's clothing almost blended into Pence's, notable only in its somber simplicity.
Save for a few exceptions (the bedazzled rainbow jean jacket she wore to a Pride parade, for instance) Harris's fashions seem almost designed to resist interpretation. Her blazers, pantsuits, understated pearls—yes, even her oft-noted Chuck Taylors—stare blankly back at us when we hold them up to a microscope, offering nothing but a vague, down-to-earth professionalism.
It's the kind of inconspicuousness that few, if any, other women politicians have managed to pull off, largely because there isn't a default sartorial choice for women in politics. While their cisgender male colleagues have been sporting variations on the same dark suit for over two centuries, everyone else was stuck staring at their closet, wondering what to pick, viscerally aware that whichever path they chose, they couldn't bypass criticism.
When women first really began making inroads in Washington in the '50s and early '60s, there wasn't much of a model for women's office garb, let alone a go-to political look. For a time, many wore blouses and skirts and dresses that wouldn't look out of place on a well-dressed housewife. In the '80s, the pantsuit would come into style, allowing women to wrap themselves in the uniform of the patriarchy—an appropriation as simultaneously empowering and regressive as it sounds. And in the decades since, no real innovations have arrived to collapse the options: instead, women can wear just about anything that isn't deemed "too revealing" or out of the ordinary. Usually, they'll opt for something with a sheen of professionalism—a limited color palette, clean lines—but aside from that, it's up to the candidate herself to choose from a near-infinite number of visual identities.
This is why women's clothing choices are watched so closely in politics, while their male opponents hardly have to give their outfits a second thought: because they are making a choice. Each garment or accessory comes with a cultural history sewn in, and several levels of meaning—the price point, the history of the style, the designer's own baggage—to be read and deciphered by the public. For some, this can be an advantage, a way to bolster their message by underscoring it with their self-presentation (think about the second wave feminists who embraced pants, or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's embrace of hoop earrings—in her words, "Next time someone tells Bronx girls to take off their hoops, they can just say they're dressing like a Congresswoman.") For others, it's a burden, another thing to worry about that men don't.
But Harris, by accident or strategic brilliance, has come close to sidestepping this trap. Her navy pantsuits and white shirts and jeans are not fashionable and not unfashionable. Her pearls are elegant but not presumptuous. Her Chuck Taylors signal relatability—she couldn't only wear workwear, lest she be accused of elitism—but they also aren't particularly cool or uncool. There's rarely a print in sight, and never a sparkle. Presented with an undifferentiated sea of black and gray, voters can hardly even focus on her clothes, let alone dissect them.
Rather than define her—like Hillary Clinton's rainbow of pantsuits did for her during the 2016 campaign, echoing the "lean in" style, white feminist politics she often espoused—Harris's clothing recedes into the background. Her style plays a supporting role, almost revolutionary in its passivity.
It does what a man's suit does.
