The Changing Light of Christmas Future Incandescents, LEDs, RGB, pixels, smart, dumb. Please stop! By Lyman Rate Christmas decorating is something that we all enjoy doing. Well, most of us enjoy it at some point or another. The long hours, the tedious time sequencing, setting up the display, fixing lights that stop working… Okay, somewhere in there is the enjoyment. After all, it's why we do it right? But lately, there is has been a large change in lighting and it needs to be addressed. This is the pixel and RGB lighting. What are Pixels and RGB? Pixels and RGB lighting are something that really aren't new but is to the decorating com-munity. With these lights, I have found that there are many things that can be done impos-sible with more traditional lighting. 78 PlanetChristmas | September 2014 Here are a few things that are different: • Colors – one color LEDs and incandes-cent lights are designed to be one color and can-not change color. This is where the RGB lights have the advantage. Think of each light as a color palette that can change to be any color. If I want red, green, blue, pink, purple, orange or any other color I can make that happen. With one color LEDs or other lights, this isn't possible • More Uses – I have found that pixels and RGB lighting have more uses within decorat-ing. They can be used to make larger display elements like matrixes or digital signs, sing-ing faces that aren't limited to wireframes, and really cool looking mega trees. More uses for these lights mean more creativ-ity and unlimited potential. I have found that I see more and more people thinking outside the proverbial box to come up with more uses for these than I ever did with one color LED's or incandescent lights. This is because people are seeing more useful things than before. Advantages of Pixels There are advantages of using pixels when it comes to elements and entire displays. One of the biggest is the amount of power used. Generally speaking, I have found that by using pixels in which each individual light is controlled, I

Memory Improvement
Memory Improvement
Memory improvement has a lot to do with keeping healthy, in terms of a good diet and keeping physically active. However, did you know that keeping happy is also beneficial for the memory? There are a number of ways to improve the memory by spending time with friends and having a good laugh!
Have Good Friends…Or A Dog
As a species, humans are very social. In fact, interacting with others is very important within our lives: it works as a stimulus for our minds and has even been shown to improve memory. Research has proved that people who have a busy social life exhibited a slower decline in terms of memory loss. Therefore, good memory improvement techniques include joining a club, hanging out with friends more or even buying a dog!
Laugh more
Laughter isn't just good for our emotional well being but also memory improvement. Certain emotions only stimulate certain areas of the brain. Laughter, however, effects a large number of regions. It can also stimulate the mind on an intellectual level, for example if you need to figure out a joke. There are a number of ways in which you can use laughter to improve memory:
* Get involved if you hear someone laughing: find out what the joke is!
* Laugh at yourself: make embarrassing moments funny instead of painful.
* Hang out with people who are light hearted and see the funny side of life.
* Read a funny book or find humorous jokes online.
* Keep surrounded with comic reminders, for example silly photographs or posters.
Relax More
A good memory improvement tip is to relax. If you're more relaxed you're naturally happier. If you're stressed for long periods then this can be very detrimental to your brain: it can destroy cells and also damage your hippo campus which is the region that stores memories. There are a number of memory improvements techniques which can help keep stress in check. For example:
* Meditation has been scientifically proven to help memory improvement. This is because, in terms of stress, it helps to reduce anxiety and depression as well as physical disorders including high blood pressure and diabetes. Meditation also assists with improving concentration, creativity and learning skills. Mediation physically changes your brain in a number of ways: it stimulates the left prefrontal cortex which is the part of the brain that focuses on happiness, it helps the brain to make more connections between cells and it thickens the cerebral cortex.
* Yoga is another method used for stress relief and, therefore a technique which can be used for memory improvement. This uses a number of stationary poses and deep breathing exercises which help to relax the body and the brain.
There are a number of techniques to choose from for memory improvement. Simply go online for a multitude of methods by which to improve memory.
Your body and your mind are interconnected and how you feel seriously effects you as a whole. Simply feeling happier and more relaxed can greatly help with memory improvement. Not only will these techniques help you remember more but they'll make you feel good too!

We must live a quiet life. I know we do, except when the parrot demands attention. Does this make us doubly intolerant of noise?
We went to the hospital clinic this morning where Jim was scheduled for a routine procedure. I brought a book to read.
But in the waiting room the "Today Show" was blasting from the TV. When I followed Jim to the procedure room, some woman was yakking loudly in the next cubby, then the alarm and Code Red testing commenced. Through one piercing alarm test, all we could do was cover our ears and hope for no permanent damage. The nurse just shrugged and said, "It's a requirement. We hate it, too."
I went down to the cafeteria for coffee. It was nearly empty and quiet at 9:30 AM. Ahhh… But then the maintenance man came in with screwdriver attachment on his electric drill and began tightening all the screws on the bottom of the chair seats.
I can't imagine what all those decibels do to someone who is truly sick or stressed out over a loved one.

A quick follow-up: Olympus in Norway had no problems with his international guarantee card and asked my son to just send the camera to them for repair. We'll pick it up at the post office tomorrow, I'll add a second follow-up when we have confirmed whether everything is OK with the camera!

Susan Tamasi
Director, Program in Linguistics
Professor of Pedagogy, Program in Linguistics
Associated Faculty, Department of Anthropology
Ph. D. in Linguistics
University of Georgia, 2003
OFFICE: Modern Languages Bldg, Rm 208
EMAIL: email@example.com
Professor Tamasi, a specialist in sociolinguistics, began teaching in the Program in Linguistics in 2002. Her connection to Emory, however, goes back to the early 1990s when she was an undergraduate pursuing a major in Russian and a minor in Soviet, Post-Soviet, and East European Studies. She is widely recognized by students and colleagues as a stellar instructor, and regularly teaches courses such as Linguistics 101 History of the American Languages, Linguistics 385 Languages of the World, and Linguistics 333 Language, Gender and Sexuality. She also serves as Director of Undergraduate Studies for the Program in Linguistics.
Professor Tamasi's specialty is in American English dialects -- their structure, development, and connections with social and political issues. Within this field, her research focuses on two primary areas. The first explores the attitudes and perceptions that nonlinguists have about variation in language. Her work in this area shows that people categorize their knowledge of language in patterned, culturally-determined ways and that the conceptual organization of language reveals a complex, interrelated network of both structural and social information. This information is used to examine the interaction between language attitudes and linguistic prejudice and discrimination. She has also examined the levels of linguistic (in)security presented by speakers in areas of stigmatized speech, such as the Southeastern United States and New Jersey.
Prof. Tamasi's second and more recent area of interest is health communication. She is presently participating in a project on health literacy in collaboration with Sunil Kripalani in the Emory School of Medicine. In this study, she is studying the impact of language and dialect variation in the administration of health literacy tests and during interactions between health care providers and patients. For example, patients who use nonstandard, local pronunciations are commonly viewed as not being able to understand basic health information or make appropriate health decisions.

Wow. We are 5 weeks, almost 6 weeks, into this parenthood thing and wow - what an adjustment! I absolutely love and adore my baby, but this no sleep thing is for the birds.
I just plain can't function with no sleep. Scratch that, I can function - just not very nicely (poor husband).
Yesterday I was able to get out of the house, just me, for a couple of hours and I chose to wander aimlessly up and down the aisles at Ben Franklin. Can I just say how much I LOVE Ben Franklin. I wanted to be inspired, I needed those creative juices to flow through me.
I came home so energized and amped to TACKLE my unfinished projects. {I wish so much that I could be that crafty mom who has all of these adorable personalized things all over her house, but alas, I'm really best at just copying (it's a serious timesaver).}
PS have you ever looked at my mom's blog? It's amazing what she makes! I am hoping that I inherit at least HALF of her creative abilities. We're very similar though in that we like to create different crafts, but they aren't just freehand. We have to be inspired. I have to have structure. And then my creations come out! (photo examples to come later).
I actually feel pretty refreshed today though. We have adapted some new sleeping strategies for little Mr. Brecken and what it has resulted in is more quiet time during the day for mom and more concentrated, continuous, sleep for mom AND dad at night. Bliss! I'm honestly really just starting to feel a little more normal. Does it normally take this long? 5 weeks?
I have had the desire to get together with so many friends and family and continue the long string of visitors that are wanting to meet Brecken, but it seriously has taken everything in me to not just say NO!! GIVE ME SOME SPACE!! (in of course the most gracious Christian way possible).
I love all of these people, I truly do, but it has been all I can handle to just adjust to my new way of life. Now though, with some sleep under my belt, I am feeling MUCH more normal. In fact, I'm even going to finish Brecken's nursery (starting yesterday)! So I apologize to those friends and family that I have been shelled up within the confines of my house for the past several weeks, not super eager to get together or attend all outings invited to, but I'm adjusting and finally feeling like I can say yes.

Hey if you are getting more sleep at 6 weeks. . . that's GREAT! I hope he keeps it up! Crew tricked us around 3 months, and we thought he was going to start sleeping through the night. Yeah right.

Love ya!ReplyDelete

ICYMI, the Rules Committee reported out a rule today that provides for same day rule and suspension authority through this Saturday, the 29th. This will be included in the FOIA rule that the House will vote on tomorrow. Democrats offered an amendment to have this rule apply only to appropriations measures, which Republicans rejected.
So what does that mean? It means that, once again, Republicans are trying to jam their TrumpCare bill through the House. No hearings, no witnesses, no substantive debate, and extremely little time to review the bill.
April 26, 2017
Thank you very much Mr. Speaker. At the end of the week, President Trump will reach his hundredth day in office.
According to a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released today, nearly three out of four Americans agree with bipartisan calls for an independent commission to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election. Now if only GOP leaders would listen…
From NBC:
The Trump White House must not remember how the last shut down played out. With just four days in session before the April 28 deadline, reports indicate the White House and some Republicans are ready to shut down the government in order to fund their border wall. A look at some recent polling shows just how unpopular that would be with the American people:

Automatic Rotating Banners
Asked by: jglazner 438 views User Questions
In the code wizard, there is the option to have automatic rotating banners. Is there a way to limit how many banners in a particualr iframe? What i'm looking for is a way to automatically cycle through 5 or 10 banners and then stop (this would prevent someone from landing on the page and then walking away from their computer, and racking up an unlimited amount of banner views).
Is there a way to do that?

It comes after the corporation paid around £200million for the rights to screen motor racing - £50million more than ITV paid for its current deal - despite having no rival bidders.
Hammond, known as The Hamster, is said to be favourite as insiders believe he has a special affinity with drivers after surviving a high-speed crash in 2006.
Coverage will take on the style of Top Gear, with co-presenters Jeremy Clarkson and James May also involved.
Dominic Coles, BBC Director of Sport Rights, said: "When Lewis Hamilton did a test lap on Top Gear it got more viewers than the Brazilian Grand Prix.
"Bernie [Ecclestone] was very impressed with the Top Gear proposition and there will be cross-fertilisation between the show and the races."
Yesterday the corporation revealed it had won back the sport after a gap of 12 years, announcing a five-year deal starting next year.
But bosses came under fire for lavishing cash on inflated sports rights when there was not even a competitive bidding process.
F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone is said to have gone directly to the BBC about a deal and was offered an increase on ITV's current agreement. Insiders say ITV's current agreement was valued at about £150million over its five-year period.
All the other major sports broadcasters in the UK say they were not approached and there was no bidding process.

Politicians attacked the BBC's decision to spend millions on Formula One, amid claims that the sport should be on commercial television.
Labour MP Andrew MacKinlay claimed licence fee money should be directed at "real, competitive sports" rather than the "wealthy industry" of F1.
He also criticised the "supine approach" which saw BBC's news outlets unquestioningly trumpeting the deal across its networks yesterday.
Mr MacKinlay, speaking in the Commons, said: "This morning in bulletin after bulletin on the BBC, they went on about Formula One being won by the BBC.
"The question they didn't ask or probe management on was how much the licence payer is going to have to pay for something that could and should be provided on commercial television - and the licence money be directed towards promoting real, competitive sports rather than the wealthy industry of Formula One."
He demanded: "Isn't it time BBC news editors were brought to book? They should be probing BBC management rather than crawling to it."
Commons Leader Harriet Harman promised to raise MP MacKinlay's concerns with Culture Secretary Andy Burnham.
In a separate move, the liberal think-tank Progressive Vision submitted a Freedom of Information request demanding the BBC makes public the costs of the rights.
The deal came about after ITV pulled out of its contract with F1 early to use its cash to pay for football's Champions League.
Last night it won the first pick of Wednesday night games to add to its new FA Cup and England home internationals portfolio.
The BBC's new agreement runs from 2009 to 2013 inclusive, replacing ITV's existing deal, which was due to run until 2010.
It is claimed the BBC was drawn to the rights because F1 is now a "hot property" after the meteoric rise of British driver Lewis Hamilton.
An ITV insider close to the sport said: "This is about a 30 per cent increase in what ITV is paying. I can't tell you why the BBC is paying this much for it. I don't know how Bernie Ecclestone pulled it off, but this is a significant increase for it."
Scroll down for more...
Yesterday the BBC claimed that it believed it was not paying a sum that much different from ITV's current deal.
A senior sports insider at the corporation claimed that any increase was because the BBC had bought a much broader rights package.
As well as taking the television rights, it also has rights covering radio, mobile phone, broadband Internet, video-on-demand and iPlayer. The BBC claims that, apart from the broadcast rights, ITV has only limited online activities around the sport.
An insider on ITV's F1 programme said they were "in shock" over the broadcaster's decision to pull out early.
Scroll down for more...
The BBC's director of sports rights, Dominic Coles, said: "The biggest motorsporting event in the world is returning home after 12 years. We were delighted when Bernie Ecclestone approached us about its return.
"F1 is a crown jewel of sports broadcasting, so to bring the rights back to their traditional home from 2009 is tremendously exciting."
An ITV spokesman said: "This was a straightforward commercial decision for ITV and we're pleased in that Formula 1 will continue to broadcast free-to-air."

Exclusive: Europe plans major scaling back of financial trading tax
By John O'Donnell and Ilona Wissenbach
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European countries planning a tax on financial transactions are set to drastically scale back the levy, cutting the charge by as much as 90 percent and delaying its full roll-out for years, in what would be a major victory for banks.
Such sweeping changes would blunt the impact of the tax, pushed for by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and popular with voters who blame bankers for the financial crisis.
The revisions have yet to be formally proposed but were revealed to Reuters by officials working on the project.
Banks have lobbied furiously against the tax, due to be levied by Germany, France and nine other European states. It has also hit legal challenges from Britain, which will not join the tax but fears being forced to collect it on behalf of other EU states, driving business from London's financial center.
Under the latest model, the standard rate for trading bonds and shares could drop to just 0.01 percent of the value of a deal, from 0.1 percent in an original blueprint drafted by Brussels. That would raise only about 3.5 billion euros, rather than the 35 billion initially forecast, a senior official said.
The tax may now also be introduced more gradually: rather than applying to trades in stocks, bonds and some derivatives from 2014, it may apply next year only to shares. Bond trades would not be taxed for two years and derivatives even later.
The roll-out could be scrapped altogether if, for example, the tax pushed traders to move deals abroad to avoid paying it.
Proponents of the tax said such changes would render it toothless. Continued...

Mumbai, May 8 (ANI): The first witness in the Mumbai terror attack case on Friday said he saw Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist, fire at Assistant Sub-Inspector Tukaram Omble.
'I saw Kasab firing from a AK-47 rifle at Omble, who fell to the bullets," said Police Sub-Inspector Bhaskar Kadam.
Kadam also said he fired at Abu Ismail who was with Kasab on the day of the terror attack. While Kasab pretended to fall down from car, Ismail was seriously injured.
On Thursday, special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said the prosecution would now begin to present its witnesses in each of the cases against the accused.
The prosecution said it has over 1,800 witnesses and more than 750 pieces of evidence to present to the court.
On Wednesday, court charged Kasab with waging war against India.
Eight-six charges, including common and individual were framed against Kasab by the special court. He was also charged under the Explosives Act and the Arms Act.
Kasab pleaded not guilty to the charges framed against him by the special court.
"I do not accept the charges," he said.

Imphal, Jan 10 : A demand for 10 lakh rupees coupled with threats, has forced the United Bank of India (UBI) to close all its branches in Manipur for the second consecutive day, bringing financial transactions to a complete halt.
A militant group, whose name has not been revealed by the employees for fear of reprisals, served the extortion note to the UBI.
The decision to close down the branches was taken by the United Forum of Bank Unions in UBI, Manipur.
"Earlier also, there were many demands but the last one is very high, which is beyond the means of the bank employees to pay. So they have threatened us that unless you pay this amount, the bank will be closed down and there will be bomb blasting at the office," said M. Chandra Sekhar Singh, Senior Manager.
Singh added that there is a threat to their life as militants have said that they won't spare anyone.
The closure of the banks has affected banking services.
Pensioners claimed they were the worst affected.
"Pensioners are not getting pensions for the last three-four months," said H. Yaima Singh, a customer.
UBI is among the two leading banks in the state which conducts transactions of government funds, including that of payment of pension, the other being the State Bank of India (SBI).
As per reports, the bank authority in Imphal was reportedly instructed by its head office in Kolkata to open the bank as usual and not to pay the extortion money demanded by the militants from any source.
The head office reportedly added that it would not bear any consequences arising out of payment of the extortion amount.
There are around 5000 account holders of the UBI in the state. Moreover, the transaction of funds of the National Rural Employment Generation Scheme in the districts where it is implemented, is done through the branches of the UBI.
It may be recalled that UBI had opened its regional office at Imphal but it was closed down in 2001.
Afterwards, all the branches and offices of the UBI came under the control of its regional office at Silchar in Assam.
The union release appealed to the outlaw organisations to withdraw their extortion demand in the interest of the general public while regretting the inconvenience caused to the banks customers due to closure.

Very sweet. I've always had a thing for Crysania and Raitlin.
I just reviewed your fic "Beauty and the Beast" and was all "that was so good!" and then I checked who wrote it and I was like "It can't be! Not the same gaurdian1 that wrote Sunshine in Winter?" Of course, you are, and I was like, well no WONDER the story was good.
Anyway, sorry for the rambling, but I wanted to say what an incredible author you are. I love your stories, your Yuffie/Vincent your Freya/Amarant and just. . . ugh, all of them. You're fantastic. Keep it up.
| TheLadyValura chapter 1 . 9/17/2004
Incredible, so sad and poetic...you have incredible use of words, very vivid and almost musical. Brilliant.
| Guan chapter 1 . 4/14/2004
This one nearly made me cry. So sad and so wonderfully written
| Grym chapter 1 . 4/9/2004
Utterly amazing, poignant and deeply painful, beautiful and blazing, an absolutely pristine portrait of both the mocking, bitter archmage and the Revered Daughter herself. The language here far surpasses even the highest-quality fanfiction. "...stealing her soul in an instant, minting her with his sigil..." Guardian1, you are a true craftsperson. I stand in awe, captured by words and the power of this small story. Please, please turn your digital pen to these characters more often.
| ChildlikeEmpress chapter 1 . 3/31/2004
i love it.
| Katharine Frost lazy login-er as usual chapter 1 . 12/28/2003
So I did a reread of the Legends trilogy and felt a smacking need for some R/C fic that didn't compromise the two characters and who do I find a story by but by one of the awesomest authors on ? Why have I never read this before? Why do you love such good fandoms?
The story itself is perfect. Raistlin is lovely, reverent and sarcastic and despising her all in the same breath. There's really not much else to say except that you are amazing.
(P.S. I see that you have some new (and long!) FF9 fics up. I shall save them for a treat and read them soon, so expect more glowing, ego-inflating praise soon, you fantastic devil.)

every day."
Oh yeah, that's raist. -*

Banning, Beaumont Congressman Introduces Bill to Provide Broadband Access to Tribal Members March 17, 2017
"I'm honored to introduce the Tribal Digital Access Act to help close the digital divide in Indian Country," Rep. Raul Ruiz said.
By Patch CA (Patch Staff)
PALM DESERT, CA - A Coachella Valley lawmaker Thursday introduced a bill that would add lands defined as "Indian Country" to a list of areas to receive federal funding for broadband access.
Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-Palm Desert, introduced the Tribal Digital Access Act Thursday, which would amend the Communications Act of 1934 to include "Indian Country" and areas with "high populations of Indian people" as areas to receive access to broadband internet.
Indian Country is defined in U.S. Code as "all land within the limits of any Indian reservation under the jurisdiction of the United States Government" and "all dependent Indian communities within the borders of the United States."
"I'm honored to introduce the Tribal Digital Access Act to help close the digital divide in Indian Country," Ruiz said. "Far too many tribes don't have access to essential communications services. My commonsense bill helps bridge the gap in Indian Country by making deployment of broadband and telecommunications services on tribal lands a core principle for the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Services Programs. Tribes deserve equal access to communications that will help students learn, increase educational achievement, and stimulate economic development."

On-the-fly adaptation of selectivity in the flanker task

The processing selectivity in the flanker task has been shown to depend on the ratio of congruent trials to incongruent trials in a task (Gratton, Coles, & Donchin, 1992). If congruent trials are more frequent than incongruent ones, the flankers are more attended and, consequently, the flanker congruency effect is increased. Recent results suggest that participants can even allocate attention on the fly to the flankers—that is, in a highly flexible way after stimulus onset—depending on the frequency of incongruent trials on a certain stimulus location. Because location plays a unique role in stimulus selection, we investigated in two experiments whether selectivity can also be adjusted on the fly depending on stimulus color. The results demonstrate that color can be used for such an adjustment, but only if the association between color and frequency has been previously learned under blocked conditions

Mount Hotham Sewer and Stormwater Upgrade
The Mount Hotham Alpine Resort Management Board (MHARMB) has been working hard to implement new infrastructure development, which has stemmed from the Mount Hotham Master Plan and the Mount Hotham Development Growth Plan.
The two plans have set a direction for MHARMB CAPEX projects for the next 3 – 5 years, with a focus on asset maintenance and infrastructure renewal.
Upgrading and replacement of services have been the current focus, which enables support for future potential developments. Service upgrades that are underway include the sewer mains and storm water mains upgrade, resort camera upgrade, Loch Car Park upgrade, Telstra service relocation, GAR verge sealing, installation of bus shelters, street lighting and urban amenities by creating a 'sense of arrival'.
The sewer and stormwater upgrade works, that have been operating outside of the MHARMB office over the 2016-17 summer, have now been completed.
The upgrade has continued from the summer works last year and provides the base infrastructure for new development and existing development. The services were at the end of their life and have been due to be upgraded with realignment in the service corridor, which will be connected next year.
MHARMB carried out the project using the cost-effective process and safe innovation of tunnel boring, this is much more sufficient and beneficial than open-cut excavation which can be dangerous and expensive.
An entry pit and exit pit has been bored 250 metres through rock and approximately 6 metres down underground, with pipe jacked in and grouted. The pipes are a combination of concrete for stormwater and plastic PVC for the sewer mains.
The upgrade is a first for Hotham Central and has a lifespan of 100 years. The infrastructure takes in environmental considerations by creating a good outfall from the pipes which incorporates frog ponds and discharges into existing creeks rather than over land.

Melbourne, August 5 (ANI): A traffic cop in the US officer who intended to give a motorist a ticket for speeding ended up delivering the passenger's baby instead.
Officer Roberto Zayas stopped the vehicle in Chester, a village about 112km from New York when it jumped a red light.
But when he approached the car, he saw a heavily pregnant Mitzy Cano and her partner Luis Alberto Rosas.
According to News.com.au, Rosas jumped out of the car as soon as it pulled over, yelling: "Baby!"
"I opened the passenger rear door and Mitzy was in labour, she was crowning and the baby was starting to come out. The baby came out with a big push from mom," Officer Zayas wrote in his report.
"I caught and supported the infant and called for EMS (Emergency Medical Service) and the Village PD (Police Department) to respond. I tied off the umbilical cord and wiped off the baby's face," he added in the report. (ANI)
