Which Brings Me to the Work I've Done in Africa
Politicians make lousy commencement speakers. Hire a celebrity instead.
It's not hard to find worse among the commencement speeches given by politicians last year. Good candidates include the speeches of Gov. Rick Perry, who bragged about the roaring Texas economy, and President George H.W. Bush, who spent the first half of his speech at Bryant University in Rhode Island talking about how hard he had searched for a topic. "And then," he said, winding down, "it dawned on me that there really is nothing I can add to what you have learned and absorbed right here in countless everyday experiences at this wonderful school about the character of success." Well, thanks for that.
Of course, commencement addresses bring out the hokum in more gifted orators as well. Just last Wednesday, President Obama reminded graduates of Arizona State University that "Julia Child didn't publish her first cookbook until she was almost 50. Colonel Sanders didn't open up his first Kentucky Fried Chicken until he was in his 60s." Obama fell into the usual clichés, including dropping a bit of local knowledge, in this case about ASU's basketball team ("I learned never again to pick another team over the Sun Devils in my NCAA bracket"). The occasion seemed to bring out the worst in his speechwriters, who are usually good at avoiding the redundant, vacuous nature of sentences like, "In your own lives, you'll need to continuously adapt to a continuously changing economy."
Bobby Jindal spoke at three Louisiana graduations last May, but none of them was the speech I'd like to hear him give. I'd love to hear what it's like to be an Indian-born convert to Catholicism governing a state of blacks, white evangelicals, and Cajun Catholics. But he'll never give that speech, because he just wants to be a good Republican Everyman. I'd like to hear Barney Frank talk about his homosexuality or Hillary Clinton talk about surviving Lewinsky—that's what would hold my attention on a day when my immediate prospects are more drinking and partying, and my long-term prospects are unemployment and oblivion.
It's not that all politicians give bad speeches, but the evidence suggests that schools should look elsewhere for their parting words of wisdom. So, the question is: Who's best? According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, in 2008 college graduates variously heard sports announcers (Vin Scully, Joe Buck, and Dick Vermeil all had gigs), public-radio personalities (Scott Simon, Renee Montaigne, Bob Edwards), poets laureate (Ted Kooser, Billy Collins, and Charles Simic), relatives and ex-relatives of the rich and famous (Bill Gates Sr., Bianca Jagger), and—how to categorize this one?—Star Jones. My hunch is that the very best of the best are prose writers, since putting words together in interesting and accessible ways is something they do for a living. (My favorite commencement speech was given at Colby College in 2004 by novelist Richard Russo.) But there's no guarantee that a given writer is poised and can deliver a speech well.
Celebrities, on the other hand—and I am talking rock stars, movie stars, big-time stand-up comics—at the very least hold out the promise of making graduation day more memorable, not less. The day is supposed to be a celebration, not the occasion for one final lecture. Hearing Bono talk about world poverty may not engage everyone's mental gears, but for a lot of graduates it would be pretty damned exciting to be within 100 yards of Bono. Sheer stargazing shouldn't be the only criterion, of course: I wouldn't want speakers chosen off the latest Billboard Top 100. (If that's how it worked, the Black Eyed Peas and Lady GaGa would be very busy in the next couple of weeks.) But celebrities by their very definition are interesting to people, and it's not impossible to find celebrities who also have interesting, even entertaining, things to say.
My graduation speaker was a case in point. I was excited to hear Henry Winkler speak because when I was 8 years old his Happy Days character, the Fonz, was the coolest man in the world. Thirteen years later, that was still good enough for me. But as it turned out, Winkler gave a very moving speech about the importance of reading—how he himself had battled dyslexia and how when the Fonz got a library card on television, there was a huge spike in library-card applications all over the country. ("I got a liberry card," the Fonz told Richie, as Winkler recounted it. "This is very cool. You know, anybody can get one of these suckers, and you can meet chicks there, too.") Is that the kind of wisdom you'll get from Bobby Jindal? And even if it were, would you be awake to hear it?

Toward a Framework for Matching Teaching and Learning Styles for Diverse Populations
James A. Anderson
Several frameworks exist that have been utilized to discuss and classify human styles of learning. Some are very generic and speak to a broad range of learning behaviors and dimensions. Other frameworks are more focused and highlight certain dimensions. A model proposed by Curry ( 1983) suggests that learning styles is a generic term under which three general levels of learning behavior are subsumed. These levels are as follows:
cognitive personality style: the individual's approach to adapting and assimilating information;
information processing style: the intellectual procedures used by individuals in assimilating information; and
instructional preference: the individual's preference for learning environments and activities.
A more specific model is proposed by Kolb ( 1984) and focuses primarily on how persons receive and process information. In particular, learning style activity is described in terms of the dimensions of perception, input, organization, processing, and understanding. Many of the seminal discussions about learning styles could fit under the umbrella of one of the two aforementioned approaches. What moved the discussion away from the general platform was the assertion by several authors that the existing models and frameworks did not account for the learning strengths and assets of populations that were diverse by race and culture. Later, the issue of gender differences also became prominent in this discussion.

There were always two elderly people sleeping in the corner of my favorite restaurant, their heads nodding to the side on a raggedy couch, as much a fixture as the tables and chairs we ate at. Their presence, though, was no quirkier than the restaurant's name: Jack's Tapas Café, Mainly Chinese. Curious to some, off-putting to others, it was a cultural mish-mash that did little to describe the expertly-prepared regional Chinese cuisine hidden within.
Dishes that weren't yet known in Seattle popped up: addictive hand-shaved noodles, mind-blowing pickled cabbage and lamb, and large, round breads, whose sesame crust hid a multitude of soft, pillowy layers. The bread, if taken to-go, came in a pizza box, making you feel smugly as if you were in possession of the best pizza ever. This wasn't the cheap General Tso's-style Chinese food that peppered the rest of the Ave, offering $3.99 takeout lunches; this was something better. The service wasn't the same either.
The hostess would call me by my first name, as she did every returning customer. She learned it when I left my credit card at the restaurant my second time there, and never forgot it. Later I would come with friends, who were, separately, also regulars. She seemed confused to see all of us together, as she greeted each one of us by name. We all ordered the same things, though, starting with the hand-shaved noodles, whose texture was the dictionary definition of al dente, contrasted with brilliantly flavored, lightly crunchy vegetables and bathed in a light but savory sauce.
Then, with little warning, it was gone. We had time for one last dinner, a huge group of us, a last hurrah, and the restaurant closed. The hostess told us to check the website: maybe they'd reopen. I checked for a long time, and then the domain finally expired. All hope was gone--until a restaurant further south on the Ave boasted of having chef Jack Tai in the kitchen.
Making a beeline to Chopsticks, sure enough, there was Jack, outside, smoking a cigarette on the sidewalk. I went in and ordered a few dishes off the paper menu. The three or four tables were filled with college students eating out of takeout boxes, so we took it home to try. It was good ma po tofu, even great pancake with eggs, all of it perfectly fine. What it wasn't, though, disappointingly, was Jack's.

Update Recommended: Firefox 3.0.8
The Mozilla project has released version 3.0.8 of the web browser Firefox. The updated version is most noteworthy in that it rectifies prior security issues.
One such issue is that Firefox was previously prone to crashes due to manipulation via the XUL tree element
(MFSA 2009-13). With such browser crashes, the code could be accessed by third parties meaning ill-will and malicious code thus executed.
The other fixed breaches in security relate to the processing of certain XSL stylesheets
(MFSA 2009-12). These issues are also related to the possiblity of a crash and its accompanying susceptibility to malicious code. This problem point was also encountered by the mail browser suite Seamonkey, which was remedied with its updated version 1.1.16.
The new Firefox release is ready for download. Users still employing Firefox 2.0.0x are urged by the manufacturer to update their systems ASAP to 3.0.x, as the old line of development will no longer offer security updates.

I have a child that is 14mths. old and has down syndrome and just got a positive pregnancy test. I will be 43 when this baby is here. I am scared to death of people's reactions to this news. I know that people will judge me even though I take very good care of my son. I am afraid that people will think that I am selfish because I wanted another child.
42 & pregnant
Children are a blessing, no matter what!
My first on my 17th birthday, my last child at 42, people had a lot to say about brothers being 25 years apart, still, none of their business!!
Teresa, proud wife to John
DS 10-30-83, DS 8-15-91, DSS 12-3-90, DSD 9-23-87 and starting all over again to Cameron 5-1-2009! 25 years apart! LOL
I'm so sorry you have that concern. Are you worried about friends? family? or strangers?
I'm 42 & will be 43 when this baby is born in june. My son is 4.5 yrs old, unfortunately I have had 4 miscarriges between pregnancies. I have not had this experience myself, but I wouldn't let what other people think or say upset you it's really non of there business. Every baby is a gift IMO. FWIW there are lots of older mom's out there some even FTMs. My age has never been an issue for me. With my 1st pregnancy I got a lot of "I thought you didn't want kids" aparently if you don't get PG within a few years of getting married people assume you are not interested. I was barely 21 when I got married & although I wanted kids I still felt like one myself, then before we knew it a lot of time had passed. Oh well. Don't let the nay sayers get to you
I don't think that you are selfish - quite the opposite. I think it is fabulous that you are willing to to do it again after having a special needs child. Please share why you think others will judge. I'm 44 and had decided that I was actually happy child-free after spending a couple years ttc (with and without fertility specialists). This pg was unplanned and very unexpected and I have been feeling a little embarrassed to tell people that we have an "oops" at our ages :-) I'm 17 weeks and still reluctant to tell anyone.
Me: 45, DH: 52, LO: Due 9/23/11�
Congratulations!!! are in order. People will always talk, don't worry about NONE of them. Children are a gift. @mbg2011, Congrats to you to honey, neat the way you that left it alone and it happened. God is Great. Your 17 weeks, you probably are already showing, can't hide it for long. Lol, Celebrate the news of your LO. I will be sharing my news too. I have three sons and one baby girl and she is 5 months old and I'm 11 weeks prego. I'm waiting for my second trimister to start before I share my news with my employer. I will be an early 42 when my LO arrives, in God's will. So happy.
Hubby & 3 Sons KoreyMo, Big Boy and PookieBear Beautiful Daughter Isabella2 Angel Babies April & November 2011 Had my Rainbow Baby VALENTINO
Me: 45, DH: 52, LO: Due 9/23/11�
I am Becky and 42 & pregnant. I will be 43 when I deliver and am about 5 weeks. I have my first appt Tues. We are due Jan 10. I also am scared to tell anybody and in fact havent dared mentioned it to my sisters or parents.....I played an April Fools joke on my mom when I wasnt pregnant and needless to say she didnt think it was one bit funny...She started out by saying "oh come on." My husband and I know and the kids sort of and one aquaintance but that is it....I kinda feel up set that I cant celebrate it like the others...I guess that is about it as if that isnt enough this will be our 7th child...yikes...Im worried about havng a healthy child and how I will manage if I dont....Its like a 1 in 100 chance . Anybody else due in Jan??
It's so good to know I'm not the only one keeping it to myself. My husband, 2 best friends and doctors know - but for everyone else it's going to be awhile. Like you Becky, I made a joke and nobody found it amusing. Part of me wants to scream it out now and part of me wants to tell them on the way to the hospital for the c-section (had 4 so that's pretty much a given) I'm due in Jan. too.
I don't think it's selfish at all to celebrate another child - whenever it comes into your life.
hahah...that is funny about the joke part...yeh..no one is going to be laughing here either...We are going to Calif. for my parents 60th in Sept and going to hubbys parent in July....I'm just not going to say anything unless they come out and ask....I'm sure they will, I get huge.....I was telling my husband I could say it was a tumor....jokiingly ........ I hear you on the scream it out part...I have my first appoint tomm...I'm excited to see just what is going on in there....are you having a singleton?? Do you know yet?? What day in Jany?? Anyways nice chattig with you....dont feel quite so alone... My last was a section....I'm worried about that too...wasnt fun and not planned...talk to ya soon. Becky
I joked to my husband that I should describe it as an "intrauterine growth that will eventually be surgically removed" (I have c-sections) LOL After the panic sets in I can then say "Oh no, it's just a baby"
Oh Hey that is a good one...I might use that one..ur funny....I went for my first appointment yesterday...all appears well .... only one....too small to see a heart beat though...kinda nervous about that...

Retail Publisher Strategy: Making The Leap to CPA & Lead-Gen

Business Process Improvement
In the past, the utility industry could consider itself exempt from market drivers like those listed above. However, today's utilities are immersed in a sea of change. Customers demand reliable power in unlimited supply, generated in environmentally friendly ways without increased cost. All the while regulators are telling consumers to "change the way they are using energy or be ready to pay more," and the Department of Energy is calling for utilities to make significant reductions in usage by 2020 [1].
Future of Learning
The nuclear power industry is facing significant employee turnover, which may be exacerbated by the need to staff new nuclear units. To maintain a highly skilled workforce to safely operate U.S. nuclear plants, the industry must find ways to expedite training and qualification, enhance knowledge transfer to the next generation of workers, and develop leadership talent to achieve excellent organizational effectiveness.
Managing Communications Change
Change is being forced upon the utilities industry. Business drivers range from stakeholder pressure for greater efficiency to the changing technologies involved in operational energy networks. New technologies such as intelligent networks or smart grids, distribution automation or smart metering are being considered.
The communications network is becoming the key enabler for the evolution of reliable energy supply. However, few utilities today have a communications network that is robust enough to handle and support the exacting demands that energy delivery is now making.
Be a People Person
I have to admit it. Despite all the exciting new technologies out there, I am finding myself to be a people person when it comes to building smarter grids and more intelligent utilities. Granted, technology is rapidly developing and the utility industry is finding itself in the middle of more and more automation. However, people – from linemen to consumers – will remain critical components for delivering information-enabled energy.
A Smart Strategy for a Smart Grid
Every year, utilities are faced with
the critical decision of where to
invest capital. These decisions are
guided by several factors, such as regulatory
requirements, market conditions and
business strategies. Given their magnitude,
decisions are not made hastily. Careful
consideration is given to the financial
and operational prudence of large capital
projects, such as power plants and new
The Smart Grid Maturity Model
The software industry has been using maturity models to define and measure software development capabilities for decades. These models have helped the industry create a shared vision for these capabilities. They also have driven individual software development organizations to set and pursue aggressive capabilities goals while allowing these groups to measure progress in reaching those objectives along the way.
Surviving the Turmoil
With the new administration talking about a trillion dollars of infrastructure investment, the time for the intelligent utility of the future is now. Political pressure and climate change are going to drive massive investments in renewable and clean energy and smart grid technology. These investments will empower customers through the launch and adoption of demand response and energy efficiency programs.
Making Change Work: Why Utilities Need Change Management
January 1, 2008
Comments Off
Many times organizations are reluctant to engage change management programs, plans and teams. More often, change management programs are launched too late in the project process, are only moderately funded or are absorbed within the team as part-time responsibilities – all of which we've seen happen time and again in the utility industry.

CASTLE ROCK — Leave it to Cherry Creek to be the first to accomplish something when it comes to high school sports in Colorado.
The state's most decorated girls lacrosse team — six titles since the sport became sanctioned in 1998 — added to its lore Wednesday night at Douglas County Stadium. The Bruins became the first team to win three consecutive championships with a 15-12 victory over Heritage/Littleton and earned their seventh team title.
"The pressure was on us to try to defend from last year after we graduated nine of our starters from that team," said Bruins coach Cayel Dwyer, who quietly studied his statistics sheet while his girls celebrated after the final horn.
The Bruins (15-4), who did not lose an in-state game (all setbacks were to East Coast teams) found themselves in an unfamiliar position early against the co-op Gryphons. The Bruins led only 6-4 at halftime because of the stellar play of Heritage/Littleton goalie Anna Wallingford. The senior, who coach Nikki Kucharski called "the best goalie in the state," stopped 12 of Cherry Creek's 18 first-half shots and had her team within shouting distance going into the final 25 minutes.
"There was never a time when I didn't think we had a chance," Wallingford said. "They were definitely getting a little frustrated, they were coming in point-blank on me, and it was difficult."
Cherry Creek, with Dwyer's urging to get Wallingford moving side to side instead of going straight at her, scored three goals in a 44-second stretch to start the second half and outscored the Gryphons 5-1 in the first four minutes to put them on their heels.
"Eventually, we just sort of figured her out," Cherry Creek junior McKenzie Brown said.
Brown and Lauren Johnson each netted two goals in the 5-1 run and both, usually Brown, had an answer every time the Gryphons got close down the stretch.
"It's the playoffs, and we knew anything could happen," said Brown, whose seven-goal night earned her The Denver Post's MVP honor. "They came out strong and we just couldn't chalk it up to a win just because we had beaten them before."
Heritage/Littleton (16-3) chipped away at the Bruins' lead and got to within 14-12 with three minutes left. Anna Salemo, one of three Gryphons to score four goals — Olivia Annalora and Elizabeth Datino were the others — almost made it a one-goal game. Her shot hit the post and bounced away. The Bruins took the rebound and maintained possession the rest of the way with a well-executed stall.
"The calm part is just more relief," Dwyer said. "To be able to go back-to-back-to-back, that was their goal from Day One. They knew if they could get that done, they'd be the first to do that. And with our program, any sort of first is getting harder and harder to do."
Cherry Creek 6 9 — 15
Heritage/Littleton 4 8 — 12
Goals —CC: Brown 7, L. Johnson 3, Keppler 3, M. John- son, Brentlinger; H/L: O. Annalora 4, Salemo 4, Datino 4. Assists — CC: L. Johnson 3, Keppler 3, Ellickson; H/L: Datino, Renner. Saves — CC: Coyle 5, H/L: Wallingford 18.

Hey ladies, I know that you are all most likely sick of the posts about skull theory etc...but I would love to hear what you think. This is only for fun... I am not finding out until the baby is born, but am interested in how accurate it is.
Here is a photo at 7w1d
(This would be for the Ramzi reading... this was done via normal ultrasound)
This next few scans are when I was 12w3d...
Ok, so the photos are not that great....had to scan them so are a bit grainy.
Any guesses would be great! Thanks.

Ugh.. Am I the only one who didn't start off from anime?
very cool especially Huntress. She looks looks tough and fierce.
The original Birds of Prey. Sexy!
Huntress design is spot-on. Never really liked the other variations where she showed more skin. This one looks way more practical and dangerous by comparison. Love the more modernized Black Canary look as well. Too bad they didn't go this route in the Arrow TV series or else it would've really made that show rock hard!
Wow, beautiful!
Oh my god!!! Very Very nice!!!!!!
Now this is awesome. Why didn;t you add Oracle. This would make the picture perfect. Now this is the Birds lineup I want back
Black Canary and Huntress are awesome. Well done.
Very nice. Oracle is my favorite as well but I love all of them.
Quite exquisite!
Lovely. I really like the reflections on Helena's mask.
cool canary
wowza. truly a stunning example of BoP artwork. Huntress is my favorite within Birds of Prey.
This is great!
love it!
another awesome piece! I dig your style! *Goes on to browse your gallery*
Sexy work on them
I saw this on Gail Simone's tumblr!
Thanks for letting me know!
Unfortunately, I couldn't leave a comment to answer her question, which is yes.

Your work is amazing!
This is stunning! I will say that this is the piece that encouraged me to go and check out your gallery so I think that speaks to how wonderful this work is. Canary looks great. I love her hair and her serene yet intense expression. The pose is great and I really love the way you've drawn her costume. There's so much detail to it (like the slight puckering at the seams). Of course, Huntress looks fantastic as well. I just can't get over how beautiful her face looks. There's such intensity there. The shiny spots on the mask are brilliant and I think you've totally nailed her hairstyle. It looks fantastic. I like how you've interpreted her costume too specifically in reference to how shiny it is. As I've said before on your other pieces, the background works really well to bring everything together. The moon and the clouds set an atmosphere that heightens this piece's overall tone. All in all, this is a great work of art!
very epic
They both look awesome; You NEVER cease to amaze!
nicely done
Oh, they look amazing. And Huntress in particular is *beautiful* here.
I love those two, nicely done !
Awesome. So very, very awesome.

From its headquarters in a Longmont industrial park, DigitalGlobe is quietly saving lives, preventing environmental contamination and advising national governments.
The company's recently completed merger with GeoEye has moved DigitalGlobe, well-known in the aerospace and technology fields for its global satellite imagery, into a new realm of worldwide information — fully realized in late July with the launch of its new microsite, Showcase Africa.
"I don't think that any other major providers of commercial satellite images ... are doing what DigitalGlobe is proposing to do, which is analysis," said Marco Caceres, a senior space analyst with The Teal Group.
DigitalGlobe is leveraging its data to predict extremist activity in Somalia, as well as monitor illegal poaching patterns in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the activities of one of the world's most infamous warlords and his army in Africa.
"For a region that is changing as quickly as Africa is, there is value in offering an authoritative source," said Andre Kearns, senior director of solutions at DigitalGlobe. "The continent has some of the fastest-growing economies in the world, but then it is also challenged by geopolitical issues, and some of those have really slowed down the development."
While this is an outgrowth of its work for the U.S. government, DigitalGlobe is diversifying its customer base in order to become less dependent on large government contracts. The company's first-quarter revenue from its diversified commercial sector grew 50 percent in 2013 over the same quarter in 2012.
"We've seen strong double-digit growth outside of the government sector," Walter Scott, DigitalGlobe's founder, executive vice president and chief technical officer, told The Denver Post in May.
The company has more information and data than it knows what to do with, and after its merger with GeoEye, the combined company has increased its possibilities and elevated its place in the industry.
DigitalGlobe's five powerful satellites pass over nearly every mile on Earth's surface each day, sending back high-resolution images that not only show change over time, but can actually help predict future human and environmental activity.
The process, called predictive analytics, requires several inputs to create an accurate portrait of a region. There are the images themselves, which can identify features such as roads, villages, tree canopies, displaced persons and refugee groupings. Then, DigitalGlobe's mapping layers can explore and add to the analysis a diverse range of geographic and human characteristics, such as language, historical conflict, natural resources and critical infrastructure. Finally, the assistance of on-the-ground and expert knowledge contribute the final piece that, when taken together, can forecast future events.
Scott told The Post in May that GeoEye brought predictive analytics to the marriage, while DigitalGlobe brought a huge amount of data.
"To predict behavior, you have to have a lot of data," Scott said in May. "The most powerful indicator turns out to be statistics, ... and the patterns help find questions you wouldn't have known to ask."
DigitalGlobe has already gathered more than a billion square miles of high-resolution, detailed imagery of Africa, along with information layers that show physical geography, elevation, terrain, land use, critical infrastructure and human geography.
Kearns said the company has started building out and developing comprehensive country-by-country human geographies this year and has already created profiles for 30 countries — half of which are in Africa — "that essentially characterize or describe the human fiber of a country."
Prior to launching the Showcase Africa microsite, DigitalGlobe completed significant work for the defense and intelligence community, which it can now highlight.
The company foresees three potential customer bases: governments, commercial ventures and nonprofit organizations.
"We have done extensive work on predicting extremist activity in Africa," Kearns said. "One adjacent application to that is around commercial security. For example, oil theft in Nigeria. You have thieves stealing crude oil from pipelines and selling large quantities to the black market. It is creating detrimental impacts to the economy and environment."
Kearns said oil companies in Nigeria are losing billions to thieves, who are also causing oil spills and leaks with their extraction methods.
"It is seeping into the ground, contaminating the land and making it hard or impossible to farm. It is also contaminating the water," Kearns said. "Using our imagery, information layers and analytics, it could help an oil company identify the highest areas of risk along the hundreds and hundreds of miles of pipeline."
Since 2010, the company has had a partnership with Satellite Sentinel Project — a humanitarian organization co-founded by actor George Clooney — documenting aerial bombardments, village razings and mass displacement of persons in southern Sudan.
Recently, it provided images to the Enough Project, another humanitarian organization focused on East and Central Africa. The DigitalGlobe images showed the latest tactics of elephant poaching in the Congo by the infamous warlord Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army.
"Bad guys like Kony are generally looking for two things, and that is victims or targets and then environments where they think they can successfully do what they are looking to do," said Colleen McCue, DigitalGlobe's senior director of social science and quantitative methods. "We are able to characterize statistically known areas where he has attacked previously, look at what makes these similar to each other and also different from the rest of the space. Then we can identify future activity."
To do this, McCue said, they also pull in different layers such as physical terrain — in Kony's case, it is generally more remote and covered with trees — and human terrain, such as refugees and other vulnerable groups.
"Being able to characterize this gives us opportunities to influence the outcomes," McCue said. "Knowing areas he is likely to attack, we can allocate our resources better and we can better understand specific patterns of the attacks."
Caceres said the U.S. government already has a sophisticated team of insight analysts, but he predicts the feds could enlist DigitalGlobe's services for a second opinion.
"I think some corporations may use it to see if they want to invest and what to expect for the next five years," Caceres said. "(DigitalGlobe is) going to look at all the imagery in areas of agriculture, conflicts, everything that they can think of and analyze what it means for the future of Africa.
"They've got excellent imagery, there's no question. It is now just a matter of the quality of the analysis and forecasting."

Tiny Purple Flowers by PoultryChampWatch
©2012-2016 PoultryChamp
Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens, Everett, Washington
I like how I have seen these purple flowers around in the real world of photography. As I've seen these flowers, I pick at them since I was little and I like see the inside part of what they actually look like. What gives me the interest into seeing them a whole lot is how they look and the impact given to it's own color. These flowers are so little, I'd have to look very close at them just to see what they actually look like. The best part of these kinds of flowers, I'd like to see them again in real life, which seriously wants me to see them again in real life, (hence sadly I don't anymore). The way this photo is pulled off however, is giving it's good quality into capturing a lot of the purple flowers to make me want to see these again. If you'd ever want to grow to have a ton of these small purple flowers, then you should at least have them grow in your yard a whole lot if you'd like to see them in my honest opinion.

How to revive a worn finish
A scratch here, a scuff there, and your eye soon sees the blemishes more than the furniture beneath. Worn doesn't always mean worn-out, though. Anything from a thorough cleaning to a fresh topcoat could cure the problem a lot easier than starting over from bare wood.
Before you treat the problem, though, determine the type of finish you're fixing. First, dab an inconspicuous location with denatured alcohol, shown in photo right. Shellac finish will come off. If it doesn't, try the same thing using lacquer thinner, which will dissolve a lacquer finish. Neither will affect a catalyzed lacquer factory finish or a varnish.
On newer furniture, you may also have to contend with tinted topcoat finishes. Check damaged areas of the finish: If a scratch changes color without revealing bare wood, plan to refinish from bare wood.
Before you go that far, though, let's try the easier fixes first.

Gearing up to buy a new pump to replace my 3 1/2 yr old Medela PIS (original). Can't decide between the Medela Freestyle and the Aven IQ Duo. I really liked the Avent handheld pump. But I want something electronic... handhelds aren't designed for EPing. LOL
Anyone have experiences with both per chance? If pumps were returnalbe this wouldn't be so aggonizing.
