Into 'the heart' ...
14 April 2004
Into 'the heart' ...
U2's show designer Willie Williams on the Elevation heart runway, 'organic LED' and the The PopMart mobile disco... that never was.
Willie was being interviewed by fan site Interference. Below we feature an extract, click the link at the end for the whole article. Click
to enter the wonderful world of the Willie Tour Diary, hundreds of entries from U2 shows across the world and down the years.
Interference: What is the most important element of show design when considering a live show?
WILLIE: The audience's experience. Even now I will often go to shows and get into the thick of the crowd to fully remember what the experience is like. After that you have to decide what kind of show it is that you want to do, then take it from there.
Interference: What is the process that transpires of designing a tour, and how long does that process normally take?
WILLIE: It depends entirely on the scale of the project. For a stadium-sized show, which will tour for a long time, the general rule of thumb is to allow about a year. That would be from the initial head scratching and abstract conversations right through till the first show. For an arena (indoor) tour, perhaps half that time, a musical in a theatre also takes about six months.
Interference: What piece of work are you most proud of?
WILLIE: Hard to say - its a little like having several children which you love for different reasons. ZooTV was the most astonishing tour I have ever done, but purely on a design level, I felt PopMart beat the pants of it. In a funny way though, I think the one I am most proud of is R.E.M.s 'Up' tour in '99. I made a forest of signs and symbols out of rope light, which completely filled the stage. It looked like Tokyo gone mad, but the entire thing fitted in half a truck and cost $12,000. The Kronos Quartet 'SunRings' show is way up there in my affections too. I am reworking that design for when they play the Brooklyn Academy of Music in October so by then I will probably have fallen in love with it all over again.
Interference: The satellite stages and heart-shaped runways add a great interactive element to the shows. Who came up with this idea? Can the idea be improved upon even further? WILLIE: Ever since about the Unforgettable Fire tour, Bono wanted a runway into the crowd, but safety problems were always cited to squash the idea. However, when we shot 'Rattle and Hum' in Arizona, there was this huge camera platform that ran right into the audience. After that Bono just refused point blank to take no for an answer, having seen it done once, so the ZooTV runway was the result.
More recently, it was a really interesting series of meetings and discussions which resulted in the heart stage for Elevation - quite a pure collaboration. Mark Fisher and I discussed lots of ideas before proposing anything to the band. I was keen to have a long stage which extended into the house so, for a joke really, I drew up a rendering which had the PopMart arch laid down on the floor of an arena. The middle was filled in, but the colours were the same as the arch had been - it was even the same size, 33m long. Bono looked at the drawing and added to lumps on the back end, making the heart shape, after which Adam suggested taking the middle out again so Larry wouldn't be left stranded miles from the audience. It took a lot of logistical wrangling to make it work practically, but that was where the idea started.
It worked so well - largely because all Bono had to do was walk and there was immediate drama. The ramp became lower as it progressed, so as he walked he descended into the crowd and there was never a moment when he had to stop and turn around, he could just keep going.

Isn't there a worse performance if you test on a live-cd environment compared to a installed operating system?
Phoronix: Announcing PTS Desktop Live 2009.3
It has been no secret that we have been working to create our own Linux distribution that is designed to run off a Live DVD/USB device and would provide a standardized free software stack for running hardware benchmarks whether you are a computer review web-site like us, an independent hardware vendor interested in seeing how well their hardware performs on Linux, or just a hobbyist wishing to compare your system's performance against that of your friends. We first shared our plans for this a few months ago when talking about driving Linux-based benchmarking with Sandtorg (a.k.a. Phoronix Test Suite 2.0). We also briefly mentioned this Linux OS again last week when providing a detailed guide to Phoronix Test Suite 2.0, but today we are formally announcing PTS Desktop Live 2009.3 (codenamed "Gernlinden"). PTS Desktop Live is being released as a free download in tandem with the release of Phoronix Test Suite 2.0 on the 4th of August.
Isn't there a worse performance if you test on a live-cd environment compared to a installed operating system?
Well, 2GB at a minimum... Probably the first test suite for supercomputers...
32 bit version too would be a great idea.
There are 2 ways actually, small computers for business, and web, and super 64bit computers for hardgamers and miniservers.
Linux is faster in low cost computers, and is less used as desktop system in gamers computers, because Dx is beating Ogl and MS WOS graphic drivers are better than X-Windows ones, even in opengl.
And to put a computer (perhaps a brand can sponsor it) as a reference in all tests (100, 1000 or any number) then each test can be referenced to a specific machine. other way of making this is to put several brand machines as Apple , Dell, Asus, Lenovo, or HP ones, and the ability to set any of them as base 1000 index.
And of course a combined test number as 3dmark or future mark test and a web page where upload and compare our results, then there some advertisements.
Awesome. very good to have a live test distribution :P
PTS Desktop Live will NOT have a 32-bit spin. All of the hardware we are targeting to support is 64-bit capable.
It's already done through the reference system comparison functionality, just not with some base index.
This has long been done through Phoronix Global...
It just hit me that this is a "live" distribution, which makes it *very* useful indeed. Thanks for all the hard work that went into this.

Modelling of Magnetic Resonance Sounding using Finite Elements (FEMLAB) for 2D Resistivity Extension
Braun, M., Rommel, I., Yaramanci, U.Technische Universität Berlin, FG Angewandte Geophysik, Berlin
We show modellings of magnetic resonance sounding (MRS) data influenced by 2D electrical resistivity structures. We demonstrate exemplarily the impact of a 2D electrical resistivity distribution for a discontinued layer as geological situation.
The effects are shown for 2D kernel functions and for calibration sounding curves. We compare the results considering a 2D structure with those of 1D conditions (electrical homogeneous subsurface or layered underground). The 1D approximation is valid for loop centre positions of one loop diameter remote to the discontinuity. For studies on 2D water content distributions it is also recommended to consider the associated 2D resistivity distribution.

"Search Document Records - Jimmy Butler Results "

Blues, Blues Christmas 1925 - 1955 Various artists
Double album with full colour 20 page booklet by Jeff Harris. Detailed discography The idea of Christmas themed blues and gospel numbers stretches back to the very dawn of the recorded genres. "Hooray for Christmas" exclaims Bessie Smith to kick off her soon to be classic "At The Christmas Ball", which inaugurated the Christmas blues tradition when it was recorded in November 1925 for Columbia. A year later, circa December 1926, the gospel Christmas tradition was launched when the Elkins-Payne Jubilee Singers recorded "Silent Night, Holy Night" for Paramount Records. After these recordings it was off to the races with numerous Christmas blues numbers recorded by singers of all stripes, a pace that continued as blues evolved into R&B and then rock and roll.

I've got a 3 month old female retriever having trouble doing even basics. Our last dog was a male and did a great job. I was told by a few other dog people that training female's is a lot harder. Well, although it may not be true, Im having a heck of a time. I don't really ever get down on her and never even swatted her bottom or anything like that but as soon as I tell her NO! or something like that she gets really down and goes and sits in the corner without coming over to me, even avoiding me for up to a half hour or so. Almost like she is angry with me for telling her no, like a child. I strapped a leash to her today to let her walk around and drag it to get use to the feeling on her collar and she didn't leave my side and was shaking like crazy. Any one have any ideas for me? I have taken my time with everything, slower than I would think to even progress but she is very "moody" and its causing issues with even simple obedience commands because she gets down and is done for the day. Help! Running out of ideas!

Are you using a puppy program. I.e. Merten's Sound Beginnings? You aren't actually doing Basics now at least you shouldn't be. Actual basics don't start until 5-6 months. Puppy Basics are totally different. You want to be introducing things, having fun and building confidence in your pup. Too much discipline too early and you can do damage. Obviously you are teaching right from wrong but not heavily handed at this point.
I strongly advise you get Sound Beginnings so you go thru the right steps to help encourage the pup to get back on track. I have seen dogs do what you are saying. Some are more inclined to do that due to genetics but most were the result of the trainers demeanor.
Good luck

Thanks Tim! Yes, I am using sound beginnings. I am just doing pretty much what she is on the video, treats as a reward a few fun bumpers and call her back.... just fun things but as soon as you say NO or anything like that, she is done.... Ill keep trying. Thanks!

I would suggest you heap on the praise whenever it applies in hopes to build her confidence. I normally don't do so but in your case you need to get over this hump. Today's training methods allow for soft dogs to be trained successfully so don't worry too much. Were either the pup's parents soft?
The pups in good hands with regards to the training material which is very important. Keep doing what Jackie says to do and keep us posted. Best of luck

Interesting post, I myself have an 11 month old yellow female and is the first female I've trained. Though I'd guess only a coincidence, my female is much "softer" than my males ever were. I've found that very positive reinforcement has been the key to this dog and even a harsh "No!" will make her melt to the floor. What works for me in this situation, is to move (even just a few steps) to refocus her attention on the task and boom- she's golden! I certainly agree that since your pup is much younger than mine, your primary focus needs to be on introductions and building a relationship of familiarity and trust-good luck!

As long if it better than the first. Ill wait till its at my local $4 movie house
Looks like it's worth watching even if it's just to see the intestines in the chopper again
So basically, Rodriguez is just delivering Spy Kids on an "adult" level here once again. Shlock is shock.
I'll wait until this ends up on Spike TV in a year or two, then I'll record it on my DVR. Once I've accomplished that I'll be able to fast fast forward through the commercials and the all the really dumb sh**. I'm thinking I should be able to watch the good parts in about 15 minutes or less.

Category >> television Maakies and Sock Monkey cartonist, Tony Millionaire, continues to be funnier than you on paper, in person and on film. This weekend Funny or Die released the video The Edge of Alligiance featuring Millionaire as George Washington on Mount Rushmore. If this made you spit out your cuppa joe, check out the older Fun With God where Millionaire plays who else but God? Keep your eyes peeled for our San Diego announcements so you know when Tony Millionaire will be signing books at our booth!
Here's the second thing you see in the intro/title sequence to Marc Maron's new show, Maron, (premiering tonight at 10 pm on IFC) as the camera pans across his garage: Here's the second thing you see when you open Tony Millionaire's new book Green Eggs and Maakies (coming soon): Here's Tony's interview on the July 5, 2012 episode of Marc's WTF podcast, a portion of which is transcribed on the page facing the portrait in the book. Here's Tony's book 500 Portraits featuring many more comedians, actors, authors, historical figures, composers, fetuses, etc. Here's another IFC show featuring artwork by a Fantagraphics artist in the opening credits (and beyond). And don't forget about this. See how it all comes together?
Residents of the Pacific Northwest are in for a pop culture bonanza this weekend at Emerald City Comicon. The action begins on Friday with an appearance by the legendary Peter Bagge, signing from 4:00 to 6:00 PM at booth 510. Fans in attendance will be the first in the country to get advance copies of Peter Bagge's Other Stuff, as well as the exclusive Buddy Does Emerald City tee shirt at a premium price. Bagge was largely responsible for creating the atmosphere that attracted dozens of aspiring cartoonists to Seattle in the 1990s. Come celebrate that legacy with us. The action continues on Saturday at 11:00 AM with comix scholar Bill Schelly signing copies of his three volumes on the late Joe Kubert, who we lost last year after a stellar career that began at the age of 12! Bill has an amazing grasp of comix history and is a wonderful conversationalist. Featured guest Peter Bagge returns to the booth from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, followed by Ellen Forney, signing copies of her runaway bestseller Marbles and other books. Cartoonist and archivist Michel Gagné rounds out the entertainment from 5:00 to 6:00 PM. Come meet our knowledgeable staff and mingle with pop culture personalities like Carrie Fisher, Patrick Stewart, Gillian Anderson, Adam West, Burt Ward, Wil Wheaton, and countless others. See you in Seattle at Booth 510. Cheers!
Serialized since December 2002 in Comic Beam Magazine, Shimura Takako's beautiful take on adolescence and growing up Wandering Son is celebrating its 10th year in Japan. With complex characters who discover they enjoy identifying as a different gender than their own, the story slowly evolves as Nitori and Takatsuki gain confidence. A quiet story that resonates deep with anyone who has felt different or been teased for seeming not manly or girly enough. Matt Thorn and Fantagraphics first made Wandering Son accessible in English in 2011 but we're speeding up the process! Volume 4 comes out at the beginning of the new year, followed by Volume 5 in June. Six will shortly follow, hopefully in time for the holidays. The Wandering Son anime is available to watch for free at Anime News Network if you want a taste of the graphic novels. The beautiful watercolor-style of Takako is reflected in the treatment of the anime. Young middle-school students often openly describe what they want to learn throughout the school year, offer ways to help each other become the person they want to be in a refreshingly ernest way. The graphic novels are a to-die-for with pristine design and gorgeous Takako full-color character introductions. Sign up for a subscrption of Volumes 4-6 or check out your local library today! And eat a delicious cupcake to celebrate Wandering Son!
Get More: MTV Shows You may remember last year when we shared news about MTV putting their classic Liquid Television shorts from the 19mumbledy-somethings online, including work by Charles Burns, Richard Sala and other cartooning greats. We were all waiting for new original material from our comics heroes and MTV has not disappointed, rolling out a new series Worldword! the new episode of which, "Heal Everything, Heal Everyone," features artwork by Ron Regé Jr.! Ron tells us "I did drawings for a second one too, that will be coming out! Future installments will feature art by Leif Goldberg, Brian Chippendale, Kevin Hooyman, Megan Whitmarsh, and probably other people that I don't know about... um.... yeah! ????" See more info & credits on the Liquid Television Tumblr blog and at Tiny Showcase, who have joined the fun with this limited-edition print of Ron's artwork!
Word's been buzzing around for a while that Dave Cooper & Johnny Ryan were developing an animated show for kids together and once we picked the pieces of our heads up off the floor we've all been eager to see the results. Well here it is, and now we have pieces of head all over the place again. PigGoatBananaMantis! was written by Johnny, art-directed by Dave, and animated by Nick Cross. (See the full list of credits on the YouTube page.) What do they call this, a pitch reel? Demo? I dunno, but whatever cable network executive passed on this is an IDIOT.
Comedy Bang! Bang! premieres on the IFC cable network tonight (check your local listings) with an animated title sequence and incidental artwork by the great Paul Hornschemeier (with an inking assist from our own Eric Reynolds, among others) and Paul is sharing a bunch of behind-the-scenes production art and sketches at his blog here and here. My DVR is set!
Last night's episode of popular cop show Law & Order SVU contained an unlikely Chris Ware reference. A misguided comic shop clerk (uh-oh) prowled the streets dressed as a superhero to protect the public from a SoHo serial rapist. Turns out [SPOILER ALERT –Ed.] superclerk was the perp all along. His heroics were a misguided attempt to spark a romance with an unsuspecting female customer. During his climactic rooftop arrest, he confesses that on her first visit to the comics shop he attempted to lure the woman with a copy of Jimmy Corrigan. Right. That always works.
It's an official announcement: Dave Cooper has entered into a development deal with TELETOON and Radical Sheep Productions for The Bagel and Becky Show, an animated TV program based on Bagel's Lucky Hat, Dave's children's book under his nom de plume Hector Mumbly. Dave says "just keep in mind this is 'development' not 'going into production' yet. Please cross all your fingers and toes for me over the next several months!!" Congrats and good luck Dave! In more Dave news, check out this badass silkscreen poster he did for a 2010 Mastodon gig, which you can now buy from him (and don't forget about his "weekly art offering" too):
Pat Thomas has been all over the television and radio dial talking about Listen, Whitey! The Sights and Sounds of Black Power 1965-1975. He was host Nancy Guppy's guest on Friday's episode of Art Zone on the Seattle Channel — the segment begins at the 8:00 mark in the video embedded above or available here [Edit: link updated to jump directly to the segment]. Florangela Davila of NPR station KPLU talked to Pat this morning; streaming audio and a recap of the segment are available here. Pat's appearance last Wednesday on WNYC's Soundcheck is embedded below and archived here. Pat's guest spot on The Roadhouse with Greg Vandy on KEXP last Wednesday is available in the KEXP Streaming Archive through Wednesday of next week. And if you prefer your interviews in good old text format Gillian Gaar has a Q&A with Pat at Examiner.com. Meanwhile, the print press has been rolling in — here's a tremendous review by Mark Anthony Neal in the current issue of SPIN (click image to enlarge): Ian Abarahams gives the book a 4-star review in Record Collector magazine: Jon "Mojo" Mills reviews the book and album for Shindig!: Another 4-star review, from Lois Wilson in Mojo magazine: |

Yon-Ka Serum
Yon-Ka Serum is not recommended because it contains lavender, rosemary, thyme, and cypress oil.
Solution 46
Not a single ingredient in this problem product has any hope of diminishing ?complexion spots.?
Add to Faves?
Yon-Ka Paris At-A-Glance
Strengths: Good self-tanner and after-sun moisturizer.
Weaknesses: Expensive; mostly irritating cleansers; almost every moisturizer, serum, mask, toner, and treatment product is loaded with irritating fragrant oils; claims are ludicrous to the max; none of the products with SPF ratings contain active sunscreen ingredients; no reliable AHA or BHA products; skin-lightening products do not contain ingredients that fade discolorations, but do contain ingredients that can make discolorations worse; terribly formulated products to treat blemishes.
Yon-Ka Paris is a French line of cosmetics with a decidedly French accent, but that is where the élan of this pricey skin-care line starts and stops. The ads for Yon-Ka Paris declare that the company has a passion for the "world of plants … that nourish and heal the body and soul and restore the beauty of skin and spirit." At these prices, that's the least you should expect. Adding to the allure is a description of the name Yon-Ka. "Yon" refers to a river with rapid, purifying water meant to symbolize the energy these products are said to provide skin; "Ka" is an ancient Egyptian term that symbolizes "the vital and eternal force that is inherent in each individual." Taken together, the name is supposed to represent constant natural regeneration. Unfortunately, when you get down to the product formulas, most of them contain enough irritating ingredients that skin will suffer from degradation rather than regeneration.
Almost every Yon-Ka moisturizer contains a litany of problematic ingredients, the dastardliest of which are citrus oils, thyme, rosemary, and lavender. Others show up, but the aforementioned are the most consistent, and it's amazing how many disparate claims are assigned to the products they're in. Apparently, all it takes are fragrant oils mixed with standard, mostly benign cosmetic ingredients (thickeners, waxes, and a few water-binding agents) to not only firm skin but also erase acne, banish discolorations, reduce wrinkles, purify, and on and on.
Yon-Ka is available in many spas, and their Web site discusses how concerned they are about being selective with distribution. The logic, however flawed, is that they take so much care in creating the products and advising those who retail them how to sell them to their clients that they couldn't possibly let just anyone sell their aromatic blends. Believe me, any aesthetician exclusively retailing Yon-Ka is someone you don't want dealing with your skin (assuming he or she will only be using Yon-Ka products). We're not challenging the credibility or skills of such an aesthetician, just their judgment in deciding to sell a skin-care line so fraught with products that cannot possibly help skin. Anyone seriously interested in taking the best possible care of their skin could care less about a spiritually aromatic spa experience, and instead should demand products that are appropriate for their skin type and condition. Yon-Ka offers none of that.
What Yon-Ka does afford is a sensory experience that may relax you; it's too bad that your skin will suffer as a result. And what about the fact that Yon-Ka's daily routines do not include a sunscreen? Sun protection isn't even discussed, and the handful of Yon-Ka products with SPF ratings do not list active ingredients, which is as reliable as shopping for food without knowing what's in the package.
Even more deplorable is the company's view of suntanning. We can't imagine trusting your skin's health to a company that sells products that encourage you to get a tan. A skin-care line that turns a blind eye to the issues of sun protection and cumulative sun damage is as unethical as it is ignorant. Yon-Ka may be at the forefront of aesthetic aromatherapy, but that's about olfactory benefit, and in no way does that translate to smart, efficacious skin care. If you need to smell something nice, light a candle or wave perfume over pulse points, just keep it away from your skin.

Something that started on iTunes music reviews, somebody would put the words "Click yes if you agree!" into thier review. It was kind of strange because there was no "yes" button. The term is growing... and i have seen it a couple other places than iTunes. I originally found it in some random review a couple of years ago and like a year and a half later it came out of nowhere.
This band is so awesome!!!!!!!11

Howdy everyone! I was an avid modeler and rc junki for some time. Rc nitro and electric trucks mainly, but I have been pulled toward the boat and sub world. I have decided on the Russian typhoon as my first rc submarine and will make it a static diver. As for size, and most will think me insane but I enjoy the challenge, will be a 1/72 scale. Yes this boat will be a leviathan of size.
I started with research and began with the plans found on the Internet. But oh the problems with these plans! So many tiny measurements and calculations to find the proper size. So I thought to my self, if I had to scale plans this would be much easier and be a fine wall mount later on. After talking with a friend of mine we manufactured these plans on his decal machine. In just a few hours the plans were complete. Two 8' long and 24" plans were plotted and printed, size of the paper not the actual drawing, showing the top and side view in such excellent detail. As well as a straight on diagram and another of various angles. I will be posting pictures of these later on this evening. My friend is also completely happy to do plans for others as well in what ever scale.
But I digress, this is my hello im here and look forward to your comments and advice as this project unfolds.
Dive well!

An Arkansas lawmaker is apologizing for the timing -- but not the content -- of a tweet he sent questioning whether "Boston liberals" wished they had an assault weapon to protect themselves while police searched for a Boston Marathon bombing suspect.
Republican Rep. Nate Bell on Friday morning posted on Twitter: "I wonder how many Boston liberals spent the night cowering in their homes wishing they had an AR-15 with a hi-capacity magazine?" Bell's comments rapidly spread online, as police hunted for a suspect in Monday's bombings, which killed three people and wounded more than 170 others.
Bell said he regretted the timing of the tweet.
The tweet controversy sparked a number of comments and statements from state lawmakers and party leaders in Arkansas.
Republican House Speaker Davy Carter apologized for Bell's remark, calling it insensitive. The top Democrat in the House called the tweet "tasteless."
The Democratic House Leader Greg Leding of Fayetteville said the tweet from the state representative was "uncaring," continuing,
"I can't speak for them, but I would imagine every other member of the Arkansas House of Representatives, the Arkansas Senate, and Arkansans everywhere find Rep. Bell's comments to be as reprehensible as I do. Boston is a city of patriots, and all Arkansans should stand with them today, Leding added.

The home acts as a big filter, or a frame, for the landscape, and each window and opening captures a specific view in its cross hairs — whether that be the fields in front of the house or the mountains in the distance. Roll-up, garage style windows allow the home to turn inside out, and shade screens on the south can move at a moment's notice. Off-the-shelf hydraulic actuators can raise or lower the screens for variations of shade and views. The home can respond quickly and easily to changes in light and weather conditions, as well as to the desired view.
In order to give such an open house a low carbon footprint, and to keep it as close to net zero as possible, Medicine Hat Inc decided to focus their efforts not so much on a tight, high performance envelope, but instead on renewable energy. The theory being that if the energy is clean and renewable, then it doesn't really matter how much of it you use. Many may differ with this opinion, but if an owner is willing to pay for a larger PV system in order to have their dream home and still have a net zero home, then we commend them. Besides the PV system on the roof, the home, when closed, relies on geothermal heating and cooling and propane is used for cooking.
Fabricated into sections, modules and sub-assemblies in Bozeman, MT, the Ruby Springs Prefab was then transported to the remote site near Sheridan. Prefabrication significantly reduced the number of trips to and from the site as well as transportation of the materials, contractors and tradesmen. Materials are all low VOC, the flooring is cork, reclaimed Douglas Fir is used on the trim, doors, furniture, and exterior shade screens, and finally all the windows have lowE coatings.

Looks like Stephanie Sandston isn't beyond using friends (or an alter-ego) to drum up business.
I think the major error in the article is not even mentioning where the hell Ruby Springs is located. But thanks to Stephanie Sandston's shamless self-promotional efforts, I now know that it's in Montana.

The interior designer Stephanie Sandston, who is based in Bozeman, Montana, did an incredible job with this project, which she originated–even first constructing it in her yard. Even the curtain fabric is her design. Her creative hand is on this whole project, and she deserves some credit!

You should have mentioned the Bozeman-based interior designer Stephanie Sandston, who brought this whole project together. Her work here is stunning!

This is the 4th seat we've purchased of this model (two for one family vehicle, two for the other) but we started with one seat that we used for about two years, then purchased a second, then purchased the last two when we were satisfied with the quality, durability and utility of the seat. These seats are an excellent value for the price. It's easy to get toddlers and infants in and out of the seats. The seat and straps are relatively easy to adjust but my guess is that some people will struggle with adjustments. It took us some time with our first seat before we'd figured everything out (hint: read the instructions provided AND experiment with the adjustments before installing it in a vehicle). The seat fabric is a bit of a pain to remove for laundering (and reinstall after laundering) because of placement of some of the molded plastic attachment points under the front bottom of the car seat frame (onto which elastic loops stretch to secure the seat fabric) but again, experience doing it once or twice helps a lot. The seat is relatively easy to move between vehicles and works with both LATCH restraint systems and shoulder belt restraints although I feel a lot more secure using the LATCH points. We pretty much intend to install them in our vehicles and leave them there until the kids have grown out of them (OK, obviously they'll be removed from some reason at some point here and there, but mostly will remain installed in the vehicles).
This is a very substantial car seat. Although difficult to figure out the installation, at first, it's a great value. My son seems to be very happy riding in it.
I have looked online and in stores and this is the best deal I found. Having two grandbabies at different stages makes this convertible car seat ideal. It's sturdy, but comfortable and very easy to move from one vehicle to another. We are very pleased with this product.
Economical car seat that will grow with your child. Padding throughout the seat - according to my grandson's mother who actually sat in the seat - quite comfortable.
Very nice product. I used in until my son turn 2.5 years old. It reclines so your child's head won't move around when s/he is sleepy. It was a very good value compared to the prices of the same chair at other locations. Def. worth the purchase.
The product came as described. The only thing I didn't like was that when I opened the box, the car seat was not covered in plastic. I was hoping the packaging would have been different. That was a turn off to me. Other than that, my infant grandson rode in it for the first time and it looked as if he was sitting straight up. It seems difficult to get the seat to recline especially when you have a small baby riding in it. The seat is very huge and he is so small. I can't wait for him to grow up!
I have a brand new granddaughter and needed a carseat for my vehicle so we don't have to play musical cars with the carseat. This one will take her from newborn on up.
The Car seat is great!!!!! very pleased with the price...
This seat seems nice, my only problem was the box was crushed and seat kinda dirty/dusty was there was no plastic covering or any protection. Worst packaging I have ever received from overstock.

I've done a little of both, but "Pros/Cons?" is a frighteningly broad question that can only be answered in the vaguest of terms. Counting the Raspberry Pi as embedded is a questionable classification, as by many definitions it wouldn't be: whilst the processor isn't remarkably strong, it's very much a general purpose machine. The arduino however, seems much more focused on being a component in a larger system.
Before we go any further though; what are you intending to do with your device? If you don't have a project in mind then I'd recommend against buying anything.
Reviewing a bunch of machines wouldn't be useful unless it was "Reviewing X, Y, and Z as systems to do W". Where W could be acting as a media centre, chat server, interface between input devices and a PC, et cetera.

This program provides an in-depth exploration of healthcare policies in Brazil — how these policies are constructed and implemented and their resulting impacts on different groups and communities. Students also study traditional Afro-Brazilian healing practices, especially those rooted in the Candomblé spiritual belief system. Students learn from physicians and nurses, government health officials, political activists, NGO representatives, urban and rural residents, herbalists, and Candomblé healers.
The program examines Brazil's healthcare policies and allows students to observe through firsthand experience how these policies are put into practice, who is affected (and who is left out), and what the impacts of these policies look like. Students visit communities that emerged as part of the African diaspora and other communities in rural areas. Each program component broadens students' understanding of the healthcare needs and realities of Brazil's historically marginalized peoples and the implications of various approaches to healthcare provision.
While in Salvador, students attend classes at the program base and live with a host family. Salvador was Brazil's first capital city and the former center of the Portuguese colonial empire. In 1985, the city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its historical importance, cultural vibrancy, and aesthetic appeal. Read more about Salvador's UNESCO designation. Today, Salvador is home to Brazil's largest Afro-Brazilian population.
By visiting a variety of healthcare facilities, including hospitals, Family Health Programs (PSFs), clinics, and Candomblé temples, students gain insight into different types of healthcare and the intricacies that surround each system. Students learn about the decision-making processes that draw patients to these facilities and how the centers strategize and adapt to meet the changing needs of their growing communities.
Students visit at least two quilombos — urban and rural communities founded by former slaves — to meet with community members and participate in community welfare projects. The more than 1,000 quilombos in the northeast region of Brazil have been historically isolated and excluded from mainstream Brazilian society. Students gain firsthand exposure to communities facing extremely poor living conditions and very limited healthcare access.
Students have both urban and rural homestays to learn what daily life is like for average Brazilians living in a city compared to rural areas. Through these diverse living experiences, students witness the challenges and solutions facing different Brazilian communities in relation to issues of race, healthcare, and human rights.
Students spend the final four weeks of the semester engaged in an Independent Study Project (ISP). Students conduct their projects in Salvador or, with program approval, another area in the Brazilian northeast. Engaging in primary research, students critically examine a topic related to public policy and community welfare in Brazil. Sample ISP topic areas include:
The interdisciplinary coursework in the Brazil: Public Health, Race, and Human Rights program explores the various aspects influencing public health planning and practice in Brazil, including historical, social, economic, religious, and ideological factors. Students might attend lectures by government health workers, political activists, researchers, doctors, and/or nurses on topics ranging from domestic violence and family health, to Afro-Brazilian dance and culture. Students use the knowledge they gain through coursework and field study to complete an Independent Study Project on a topic of their choosing.
Links to syllabi below are from current and forthcoming courses offered on this program. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.
The syllabi can be useful for students, faculty, and study abroad offices in assessing credit transfer. Read more about credit transfer.
Public Health and Race in Brazil – syllabus
(IPBH 3000 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
This course focuses on public healthcare issues as well as community welfare policies and realities. Students examine the Brazilian national healthcare system along with alternative healthcare practices, focusing more specifically on the northeast region of Brazil. Students observe firsthand the functioning of the healthcare system at the local level. They critically engage the Brazilian model for public health, the Sistema Único de Saúde, and analyze key Brazilian national health programs focused on Afro-Brazilian health issues. Students also study health concepts and practices used by Afro-Brazilian groups, considering the connection between healing and spiritual beliefs and examining how this plays out in alternative treatments for a range of illnesses including psychiatric/mental health issues. Finally, students explore issues of economics and access as they relate to both state-sponsored and alternative methods of health treatment. This course is conducted in English and Portuguese (with interpretation).
Human Rights and Healthcare in Brazil – syllabus
(IPBH 3005 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
The United Nations decrees that quality healthcare is a human right. In this seminar, students examine how access to this right is gained or not gained among diverse Brazilian populations, focusing in particular on the African descendant population and indigenous people as two of the nation's most clearly marginalized groups. After studying racial, religious, and regional diversity in Brazil, students explore how social determinants affect the health of Brazil's diverse populace. They examine Brazil's health profile and learn how to analyze the economic, structural, and ideological determinants of public health planning and practices in Brazil. The course is conducted in English and Portuguese (with interpretation).
Intensive Language Study: Portuguese for the Health Sciences I – syllabus
(PORT 1000 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
Intensive Language Study: Portuguese for the Health Sciences II – syllabus
(PORT 1500 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
Intensive Language Study: Portuguese for the Health Sciences III – syllabus
(PORT 2000 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
In this course, students build their speaking, reading, and writing skills through classroom and field instruction. They learn the terms and expressions needed to conduct field research, to discuss health-related topics, and to interact in settings connected to the program's themes. Students are placed in small classes based on an in-country evaluation that tests both written and oral proficiency. Guided self-instruction is available to students who test out of the available courses.
Public Health Research Methods and Ethics – syllabus
(IPBH 3500 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
In this research methods course designed to prepare students for the Independent Study Project, students learn how to organize and conduct a research project. Through lectures, readings, and field activities, students study and practice a range of methods appropriate for health-related research. They examine the ethical issues surrounding field research related to health issues and medicine and are guided through the World Learning/SIT Human Subjects Review process, which forms a core component of the course. By the end of the course students will have chosen a research topic, selected appropriate methods, and written a solid proposal for an Independent Study Project related to the program themes. The course is conducted in English and Portuguese (with interpretation).
Independent Study Project – syllabus
(ISPR 3000 / 4 credits / 120 class hours)
Conducted in Salvador, elsewhere in the state of Bahia, or in another approved location in the Brazilian northeast appropriate to the project, the Independent Study Project offers students the opportunity to conduct field research on a topic of their choice within the program's thematic parameters. The project integrates learning from the various components of the program and culminates in a final presentation and formal research paper. Sample topic areas: the health of adolescent mothers and their offspring; Afro-Brazilian health issues; factors affecting well-being in a quilombo community; healing in the Candomblé tradition; drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Salvador and rural areas; Brazilian AIDS policy; empowerment of women.

Please note that in order to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, program excursions may occasionally vary.
Shadowing the health officials and seeing exactly what they did really opened my mind and let me see what life really is as a health professional. The fact that we got firsthand experience with the world of public health was invaluable.
Program alum
Educational excursions are an integral part of the program, complementing classroom learning and thematic coursework. Visits to underprivileged areas give students a deeper understanding of how historical oppression affects the lives of the poor in Brazil today.
Topics raised during excursions include:
During excursions, students interact with community leaders and residents to get their perspectives on the challenges of providing equitable and high-quality care to communities that face unique challenges. Students also interact with professionals in healthcare-related areas of work.
Students also have excursions to federal, state, and municipal health facilities and Afro-Brazilian religious centers, as well as to the Irmandade da Boa Morte, a religious sisterhood founded in the nineteenth century by former slaves, in Cachoeira.
A terreiro (temple) de Candomblé is a shrine or temple for the parishioners of Candomblé, one of the most widespread Afro-Brazilian belief systems and practices in contemporary Brazil. In Candomblé, health is integrated into the notion of a mystic universe, and the human body is not separate from the spirit of life. Candomblé helps to promote the healing process, which often takes place in the terreiro. In a country where most of the poor have limited access to institutionalized health facilities, the terreiro functions as an important place for health treatment and other types of support. During the excursion to a terreiro de Candomblé, students speak with priests, priestesses, and parishioners about their beliefs and experiences.
Located at the northern end of the Bahia de Todos os Santos (The Bay of All Saints), Ilha de Maré is home to a quilombo community, and it is the ancestral home of the program's current academic director, Damiana de Miranda. Although the island is not far in distance from the city of Salvador, the history and living conditions of its residents differ greatly from that of the mainland population. Until recently, the island was fairly isolated, making it an ideal place to observe and participate in the life of an Afro-Brazilian community. The island has no roads or cars, and in the township of Praia Grande some residents still communicate in African languages during religious activities. (This occurs not only in Ilha de Mare, but also in Salvador.)
Traveling by boat, students spend a day on Ilha de Maré learning about issues related to the health status of its inhabitants. They also study the environmental problems affecting the community, particularly local fishermen. During this excursion, students experience and discuss how social exclusion — understood as lack of access to health services, formal education, transportation, potable water, and employment — interacts and impacts the life of Afro-Brazilians.
The program has a four-day excursion to Cachoeira. Students stay in a rural area, where they visit public health services, educational institutions, and traditional healers; they also have the chance to talk with area residents.
Southern City of Ilhéus
The program's one-week excursion to the southern region of Bahia exposes students to different aspects of Brazil's healthcare system, with an emphasis on primary healthcare. Students shadow health professionals, primarily community health agents, and undertake community visits and interviews. The main goal of the experience is to understand the day-to-day operations and activities of the health facilities.

Students in the Brazil: Public Health, Race, and Human Rights program have several different homestay experiences, which help them gain a comprehensive picture of the socioeconomic differences comprising Brazilian daily life. Host families provide a safe and welcoming environment, allowing students to experience the different facets of Brazilian home life firsthand. Many students consider the homestay experience to be one of the most meaningful parts of the program.
During the first seven weeks of the semester, students live with host families in Salvador, where they experience urban culture in the northeast, practice their Portuguese language skills, and learn about their host family's experience with the Brazilian healthcare system. Students are welcomed as members of their host family and integrated into the family's everyday life.
Students live in different socioeconomic neighborhoods — some underprivileged, some middle class. When possible, students are placed with homestay families that match their interests.
Students also have a four-day homestay in Cachoeira and a seven-day homestay in Remanso.
During the excursion to Cachoeira, located in the Recôncavo Region of Bahia, a two-hour drive from Salvador, students have a short rural homestay experience in Alecrim, the rural area of Cachoeira. Most of the host families are small agricultural producers, mainly of cassava, okra, tropical fruits, and vegetables. For four days, students live with their host families while learning about the day-to-day cultural life and social determinants of health in this area.
In Remanso, students participate in a rural homestay in a quilombo located outside the city of Lençóis, in the Parque Nacional da Chapada Diamantina. For seven days, students learn about the intersections between physical environments and health.
Other accommodations on the program could include hostels, private homes, or small hotels.
