"Forward" office extension
London-based architects Jump Studios have completed their work on an office extension for media technology company Forward in Camden, north London. The young company had outgrown their existing premises at Centro 3 and decided to lease additional office spaces in the adjacent Centro 4 building which are both part of the larger Centro buildings business complex on Mandela Street in Camden.
Forward's aim was to connect the two premises and create a large office spread over two floors which would not only offer ample office space for the rapidly growing businesses but also house additional social functions like a presentation space, music and games rooms, a canteen, additional meeting spaces, cafe and a new, more representative reception.
Furthermore Forward sensed that their existing offices didn't really reflect the prevailing culture of the company which at heart still feels like a young start-up. They turned to Jump Studios for help and asked them to come up with ideas that could imbue the new spaces with creative energy and the 'Forward spirit' – young, playful, intelligent, unconventional and obsessed with the newest technologies and innovations.
Analysing the specific conditions of the site Jump Studios found a series of large, linearly connected but separate spaces in a former warehouse. Rather than trying to unify those spaces through one spacial concept they quickly decided to treat each room differently and create a series of different scenarios which would set the mood individually for each area.
Taking references from fairy tales such as Alice in Wonderland or computer games like Super Mario the spaces are animated by several interventions which play with notions of scale and introduce surreal moments in the otherwise very functional office
environment. The reception area was moved from the first to the second floor to improve the internal circulation of the building.
Visitors and staff exit a lift into an almost completely red area which feels like a stage set placed in the existing office.
A plush carpet and deeply red wooden wall panels provide a strong contrast to the surrounding open plan office which is visible from the reception. Located adjacent to one side of the reception is a small cafe which acts as both holding area for visitors
and informal meeting and break out space for staff.
A linear red carpet walkway leads visitors out of reception through the first office space to a black oversized key hole. Slipping through the key hole one arrives in the new office extension. The first thing you notice here is a gigantic white staircase with a deep red carpet on its steps. On closer inspection the steps reveal themselves to be upholstered seating
The open space in front of the staircase is used for larger presentations with the staircase offering seating for audiences of up to 30 people. On a daily basis staff use the stairs as break out or meeting space or to watch their colleagues playing ping pong in front of them.
Next to the staircase a floor length, purple velvet curtain curves around a cluster of social rooms behind: sound booth, billiard parlour and computer games room cater for the staffs entertainment during breaks and after hours. When the curtain is opened up the additional meeting and break out room directly behind is delineated from the rest of the open space through a chequer board floor which contrast with the traditional grey wood panels on its walls.
The rest of the open space behind the cluster of social rooms is occupied by the canteen. Bar and serveries are all clad in purple-grey wood panels which again feel like staged elements in the otherwise industrial warehouse space. Some of the panels are
hinged and conceal secret cabinets for food and drinks.
The canteen is open to all staff all day round. At night it turns into a bar for after work drinks and office parties.
An inconspicuous door next to the bar leads into yet another area. It's an open plan office occupied by one of the core departments of the whole business.
The main feature of this space is a 12 m long work counter running from the entrance of the space to the exit across the room. The function of this counter is to offer additional hot desking space for up to 10 people on the one hand and shield the open plan office work stations from the adjacent circulation space and enclosed offices and meeting rooms on the other side of the room.
The 12 m long counter is pierced by three grey, stone-like plinths which separate it into two smaller sections and reference traditional outdoor public squares. The two plinths flanking the ends of the desk are crowned by artificial topiary in the same matt, mid-grey stone colour while the central plinth carries a gigantic lobster.
The lobster provides another surreal moment in the office designed as a slightly strange beacon and iconic meeting point in the office landscape. The colour scheme of the whole installation has a comic like feel to it and is a nod to young up and coming
artist Murray O'Grady.
The fully glazed offices and meeting rooms behind the plinths carry cartoon like graphic images of a traditional Parisian facade and trees in a park to complete the urban scenery.
Two more meeting rooms in the other two corners of the space have been customized with graphics by graphic artist Luke Embden especially designed for Forward featuring a pattern of hearts for the HR room and a black and white text based graphic for the
third meeting room in this area.
The end of this enfilade of rooms marks a smaller uncluttered workspace for up to 12 people. This is where the developers live, they form the core and brain of the company, their space being a kind of commando centre with neutral grey block striped carpets,
torch pendant lights, industrial lockers and blackened ceiling.
A small purple sofa provides the only splash of colour here. It offers a cosy place of respite for a chat or to meditate on the streams of data displayed on a matrix of screens on the wall which refer back to the very nature of the work that's being done

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—The Virginia rowing program is back in action Sunday morning (Oct. 28) for the Princeton Chase on Lake Carnegie in Princeton, N.J. The action for the Cavaliers begins at 11 a.m.
Last week, Virginia had a strong showing at the Head of the Charles in Boston. The Varsity Eight finished as the top collegiate boat in the Championship Eights and third overall, only behind the US national team and a boat made up of eight Olympians from eight different countries.
The Cavaliers' second entry finished 15th overall and was the second-fastest "B" crew. UVa's four placed fourth overall in the Championship Fours and was the second-best collegiate crew.
The Princeton Chase is a headrace competed along a 2.75-mile course on Lake Carnegie and features many of the top collegiate programs on the East Coast.
Last year at the same regatta, the Cavaliers won the Varsity Eight and Novice Eight races.
Up next, the Cavaliers host the Rivanna Romp on Nov. 11 at the Rivanna Reservoir in Earlysville, Va.

Paul Ricard
Daily Forecast for June 23rd 2017
Paul Ricard is a male celebrity.
He was born on Friday July 9th 1909, in Paris, France,.
Paul Ricard wakes up on June 23rd 2017 with renewed energy, dynamic and looking forward to new beginning.
Paul radiates authority that make it only natural that he takes the lead and others follow.
Ricard may be lacking sensitivity - due to his concentration on the tasks and goals ahead and his no-nonsense and straight-forward attitude.
While studying the color and flavor of the day, it is a good practice to keep in mind the greater meaning of June and the master plan of 2017 in Paul's life.
You and Paul
About Paul's Numerological Forecast & Personal Day Cycle
Just as Paul Ricard evolves through a nine-year cycle and experiences the nine-month cycle, he is also subjected to nine-day cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year and even Personal Month cycles. The Personal Day cycles proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - that the Personal Year and Personal Month cycles do. The numbers within the daily cycles have a similar impact on Paul to the yearly and monthly cycles - though less pronounced.

Here's a story more suited to Halloween than Christmas time, but one that's sure to set every mariner's heart racing.
Authorities in Asia are baffled by the 12 "ghost" ships which have arrived in Japan's territorial waters over the last few months.
Small, wooden, and abandoned, these ships contained a ghastly cargo: the decomposing bodies of 22 people.
Two of the bodies were found without heads, and in another ship, six skulls were found lined up together.
Needless to say, Japan's government is eager to discover what happened.
Tragically, it appears that the ships each hail from the communist tyranny of North Korea. Most have Korean lettering which spells "Korean People's Army."
This leads most analysts to conclude that the ships contained defectors desperate to head to the West.
But if these were defectors, why were they decapitated and left to rot on the seas? And how did they obtain vessels belonging to the People's Army? If the North Koreans had captured them, wouldn't they have forced them to return home to face public execution?
It looks like the mystery of Japan's Ghost fleet is set to endure.
What do you think of this creepy tale? Let us know below.

XILS Vocoder 5000
The First and Last step for Vocoding
A Legend is Reborn !
Inspired by the EMS Flagship Vocoder ( EMS 5000 -1976-) , XILS-lab used his knowledge acquired during the emulation of both the VCS3 synthesizer and the VP300 VocoderPlus to develop the XILS Vocoder 5000 Model
A Vocoder is a synthesizer which accepts an external sound source, a musical instrument or prerecorded signal, so that you can process it, with or without the keyboard, into a huge variety of sounds.
Human voice, the most variable sound of all, can be fed into the Vocoder, so that you can alter its pitch, Tone, Vibrato, and all its characteristics, allowing you to synthetize a Choir from a single voice, or to create melodies from ordinary speech.
You can also process Drums, percussive elements, or Guitars and … every kind of synthesizer itself, to breathe some analog life into them, or completely reshape them. You can even derive some pure synth patterns from …. drumloops. Everything is possible
For a more detailed and technical explanation of what a vocoder is, please visit the Features page.
For Sound Examples, please visit the Audio Page.
XILS Vocoder 5000
Clarity, Purity : The XILS Vocoder 5000 emulates the sophisticated filtering techniques and incredibly complex circuitry of its analog counterpart to achieve the same organic sound, precision and … clarity.
Easy to use for beginners, yet incredibly powerful for Veterans : The user interface offers a standard single panel view. Everything is there, right under your hands, with a lot of presets to get you started. Should you want, or need, to go further, the Logo Center Panel will switch to a vast choice of advanced panels displaying the advanced parameters of the module of the Vocoder 5000 you wish to explore and experiment with. And there are dozens of advanced parameters, for your joy.
Back in 21st Century : Because it's a Xils, it offers many advanced features that its ancestor could not have offered in its time :, Bands number, Filter types, Filter's Emphasis and Emphasis ponderation, more Slew Rate mods, more Freeze mods, 2 LFOs ( Original had none ), Detailed FM and PWM, more Oscillators Waveforms, an improved Input detector ( Sibilants), Gate input etc, etc.
The XILS 5000 Vocoder uses the same filtering techniques than its real analogmodel to achieve the same sound, precision and clarity.
It has been designed to be easy to use, but behind its simple interface, it features many advanced settings for those who really want to tweak the sound. Each module has its own advanced setting panel, so it can be tuned separately and quickly.
For a quick start, just insert the XILS 5000 Vocoder in your vocal track and let the pitch tracker follow the original pitch of the voice.
A Vocoder, What is this ?
A Vocoder is an effect which uses two signals to produce one output signal. The first signal is called the Modulator and the second signal is called Carrier.
Usually vocals are used as the modulator, but it can also be drums, percussion, or any other musical signal. Synthesizer are used as Carrier (the sound can be made from Sawtooth chords, white noise, etc, anything with a rich harmonic spectrum)
A bank of bandpass filters is splitting the modulator into several frequency bands and do the same with the Carrier signal. The level detected in the modulator spectrum are then applied to the carrier spectrum giving what we commonly know as "Robot Voices" when a vocoder is used in his simpler manner.
For a good result and an understandable synthetic voice, 22 bands are used in our legacy EMS 5000 model, but less bands are also commonly found on other vocoders.
The quality of a vocoder is depending on the following components :
The XILS 5000 provides these qualities for an incredible Vocoding result
But what makes the XILS 5000 Vocoder incredible is the Matrix patch area : You can connect each band of the modulator to any band of the carrier. This means that endless sound possibilities are in front of you !
Not only a "simple" vocoder, the XILS 5000 is also a wonderful synthesizer tool with a Voice/Unvoice detector, a Pitch Tracker and a Frequency Shifter which can give you a lot of fun, manipulate voices, drums, bass lines or anything !
Demo the XILS 5000 (Dongle free limited features or Time limited License for iLok or eLicenser)

Terrible support and useless at least for Cubase.
You pay a huge sum for a software
like this and expect to use it for more than the inbuilt
synthesis engine - forget it and choose another software!
EDIT (Xils-lab) : Using VST3 on Cubase allows Side-chain and external Synthesizer. See our tutorial videos
Posted by Unknown on 28th Dec 2015
Buyer Beware you need to purchase a dongle to get this product! they don't explicitly state this! haven't been able to use it yet looks good, though.

I was looking at one of Maria Dryfhout workswhen it occured to me how important it is, for we as artist through either photography or drawings ,to capture the present. They are a lot of people who don't see the importance of our art untill they want to reflect on the past. Then it could be one of thier most important part of thier lives. So often we may pass up a opertunity because we think we can get it later. I've past this barn in Cades Cove 1000's of times but have few shots Hurricane force winds made it a part of history as it was blown down Christmas Eve. Don't miss the opertunity but take it while you can.

USA police on Monday widened a manhunt for a gunman who shot and killed an elderly man, and then posted a video of the seemingly random Easter Sunday attack on Facebook.
According to police, Robert Godwin was out on a walk collecting aluminum cans, something his family says he did often, when 37-year-old Steve Stevens exited his auto and demanded Godwin say the name of Stevens' ex-girlfriend, Joy Lane.
Mr Stephens' mobile phone last released a signal, or ping, in Erie, Pennsylvania, 165km northeast of Cleveland, authorities told CNN, but Cleveland police chief Calvin Williams said his last confirmed location was the scene of the crime.
The video allegedly published by Stephens was published to Facebook on Easter Sunday.
The victim, 74-year-old Robert Godwin, was on his way home from an Easter meal with his children.
Numerous police units responded to the site, where Godwin had been collecting aluminum cans, after a report that Stephens was broadcasting a live video of the murder.
Investigators said that Godwin was the only victim so far linked to Stephens, despite the suspect's claim in a separate video on Facebook that he killed over a dozen people.

"But also, players just want to be treated the right way, and I know that there's definitely a lot of interest". "I get it. Unless a player is resting for the postseason, or legitimately hurt, they should be playing in the season finale.
Philadelphia police said schools in the area were put on lockdown Monday afternoon while authorities investigated reported sightings of Stephens. He said Cleveland police had paired up in squad cars as they hunted for Stephens.
"I killed 13, so I'm working on 14 as we speak", he said in that video.
Cleveland police have issued an aggravated murder warrant for a man accused of shooting and killing another man in Cleveland and posting the video on Facebook. Police said anyone who spots Stephens should call 911.
Police radio captured the frenzy over the search for Steve Stephens.
"He is considered armed and unsafe, so we want people to be careful out there", he added. The video was reportedly up for three hours on Facebook before being taken down, and many other news outlets shared censored versions of it.
Authorities also said that there had been no evidence that Stephens was in the Philadelphia area. She said he had a good retirement plan from his years as a foundry worker but that "it was just something to do".
A frame from video posted on Facebook shows Robert Godwin Sr in Cleveland moments before being fatally shot.
Simon Mignolet targets more from Liverpool after West Brom win
It was another massive win for the Reds in the race for the top four in the Premier League, as they eked out a 1-0 victory. Klopp said of Mignolet's performance: "He was really good, really lively, front-footed, all that stuff".
Earlier, Cleveland police had urged residents in Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, and MI to be on alert.
He also reported the timeline of events Sunday, starting with when the first video was posted.
She told CBS News in a text message that she was "sorry that all of this has happened".
The motive for the shooting wasn't entirely clear from the shaky video, in which Stephens tells Godwin a woman's name and says, "She's the reason that this is about to happen to you".
"Any problems he is having, we can have a conversation", Jackson said.
Lane, via social media, assured her closest friends and family members that she is safe and physically unharmed and is under the protection of law enforcement until such time as this tragic situation comes to its conclusion.
In his broadcast, Stevens displayed his Beech Brook badge.

New Zealand fly-half Beauden Barrett has admitted he is expecting the British and Irish Lions Test series to be a brutal battle. The squad will only assemble as a whole on May 28, the day after the English Premiership and Celtic League club finals.
A spokeswoman for the behavior health facility where the suspect in the shooting of an elderly Cleveland man worked says the man underwent an extensive Federal Bureau of Investigation background check before being hired in 2008.

Scale is our key competitive advantage. The scale of our territory, especially now that we are part of an integration bloc, the scale of our market, and our scale as a global player. We are aware that politics, the economy and commerce are interrelated ... and I guess that the primary objective – and our accession to the WTO was an important move in achieving this – is not to lose this competitive advantage and to realise this potential.
We're always discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the WTO for the producer, but it is vital to remember that the WTO is to a large extent not about producers but about consumers, and access to the market for goods and services. Joining the WTO is an additional factor that forces producers to set competitive prices.
We must understand that the WTO is not a club of friendly, smiling people; rather, it is a shark tank, and we will come to see this very soon, in three or four years, unless we build up our competitiveness.
This is the big thing about Russia becoming a member of the WTO. The WTO will provide opportunities for Russia; it will not guarantee results. It will provide opportunities, provided Russia wants to use these opportunities. And, if I had to give advice, then I would say: If you are given an opportunity, go and play on the offence.
We also have to recognise honestly that one of the reasons why perfectly good, decent Russian companies are marked down and undervalued is not a result of what those companies are doing themselves, but because of the politics that are surrounding those companies in the country as a whole.
Removing barriers, customs barriers, and, most importantly, harmonising regulatory standards and authorisation procedures, has a very substantial impact … Russia's accession to the WTO is a step toward supporting our relative competitiveness.

This crap happens daily. Morons who think bc they're not white they scare others. It's sort of reverse racism. They think they can do things they can't.
Today's example is a slightly older waffling schmuck harassing some woman who told him to leave her alone. I'm checking my cards rating at a adobo and this moron asks if I was talking to him and I said walk away. He, like many others said the same stupid stuff grade of you don't know what you're dealing with. I laughed uncontrollably, he swung a beer bottle badly and I motioned to come forward six times and waited. He got clis and I pushed him 20 feet. I could've done a lot more and he started cursing and I laughed again and said walk away or you won't be able to. These idiots run rampant. Yesterday was someone driving on the wrong side of the road at 2 pm and almost hit and honked uncontrollably at me. I followed him and cursed his dumb ass out. I'm damn close to hurting someone badly.

The vast majority of individuals will have heard of the Industrial Revolution. The adoption of new manufacturing techniques, including steam power and innovative machinery, in the late eighteenth century had a major impact on employment, economic output and living standards.
Perhaps less well known, is the idea that there have been two subsequent industrial revolutions. The Second Industrial Revolution is generally considered to have occurred between 1870 and the First World War and was marked by large-scale iron and steel production. The Third Industrial Revolution occurred much more recently, at some point between the late 1950s and 1970s, and concerns the adoption of digital technologies including mobile phones, computers and the Internet. And now, we stand on the cusp of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 4.0.
Businesses, of course, are keeping a close eye on Industry 4.0 and what it could mean for their particular way of working. Previous industrial revolutions brought huge opportunity, but also a great number of challenges. With each new innovation, organisations have the potential to grow and flourish, but they also stand to fail if they cannot manage and incorporate new industry practices.
The Internet of Things
In order for businesses to prepare for Industry 4.0, they first need to understand the technological driving forces behind it, including the Internet of Things. Although mainstream examples of IoT devices are relatively limited at the moment, in the future connected objects are expected to revolutionise a whole host of business sectors. In the same way that new manufacturing processes brought about huge upheaval during the Industrial Revolution, the Internet of Things is also predicted to bring wholesale changes to industry.
"The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has been described as a crucial step in the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0," explains Martyn Williams, managing director of industrial automation software expert, COPA-DATA UK. "Using IoT technology, organisations are developing smarter infrastructures and building connected networks across entire manufacturing processes."
Some of the key changes predicted to emerge as the Internet of Things is adopted by industrial firms include the following:
- Real-time visibility – The use of shop floor sensors and smart machinery will give managers greater visibility than ever before. This will provide them with real-time monitoring that lets them know which parts of their operation is underperforming. As well as informing them where greater efficiencies can be achieved, Industry 4.0 will help businesses identify potential problems before they occur. Rather than arbitrarily deciding when equipment needs to be replaced, connected sensors can highlight problem areas so organisations can replace their industrial equipment at the optimum time.
- Connectivity – Industry 4.0 promises to break down workplace silos no matter how large your organisation is. The added connectivity provided by the Internet of Things will connect machines to one another and therefore, enable managers to get a holistic view of their industrial output.
- Data – Perhaps just as important as the physical devices themselves, the Internet of Things will also provide huge quantities of data. When analysed, this information could help companies make practical decision in real-time, create new business models and identify additional revenue streams.
- Automation – Industry 4.0 and the proliferation of smart devices will also lead to further automation, which will enable business to maximise their productivity levels. However, industrial automation may also deliver a safer working environment, with machines able to self-monitor and identify any potential risks.
Industry 4.0 isn't only being driven by the Internet of Things, however. Machine learning, artificial intelligence and big data analytics are all expected to contribute towards significant industry change. In addition, cloud computing will continue to play a vital role, ensuring that industries can access and store their information remotely. The development of network technology is also crucial for Industry 4.0 as any insights and efficiencies generated by IoT devices are only useful if they can be easily and quickly accessed.
However, if businesses want to ensure that they benefit from Industry 4.0 they must be prepared to overcome some significant challenges. Firstly, security issues will arise as more and more devices becomes connected to the Internet. Every new access point is another potential vulnerability, so organisations must ensure that their security systems are suitably robust before adopting the Internet of Things. Security regulations will also have to adjust to Industry 4.0, particularly given the amount of sensitive information that could soon be accessed over a network connection.
As well as security, network reliability will also provide a stern challenge for businesses. The productivity advantages of Industry 4.0 can only be realised if machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is fast and reliable. The added number of connected devices will place increased strain on organisations' network infrastructure and also push national governments into ensuring their Internet speeds are up to scratch.
As well as technical issues, challenges of a human nature also exist around Industry 4.0. Businesses will need to ensure that their members of staff have the necessary skills required to cope with new technologies and ways of working. Moreover, getting employees to embrace the Internet of Things, or Industry 4.0, may be a challenge, as it is sometimes associated with widespread disruption and mass redundancies. In reality, if businesses invest in re-training programmes and staff show a willingness to embrace change, Industry 4.0 is likely to be a net creator of jobs, but businesses may still find that Industry 4.0 is met with some resistance.
For businesses looking at Industry 4.0 with some trepidation, it is important to remember that every major industrial overhaul has been accompanied by both successes and failures. Instead of fearing Industry 4.0, businesses must embrace the coming change, having first undertaken the necessary planning and preparation. Be transparent with your employees and customers about the likely effects and possible disruption that could occur, because after all, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will see the merging of the real and the virtual worlds and could make an even bigger impact than the previous three.

So what exactly is 'mid-century modern' furniture?
Mid-century modern furniture has made a comeback. We've all seen the reemergence of clean lines, teak wood and organic shapes in interiors magazines and the pieces reproduced in high street furniture shops. Most of us could probably even name a few mid-century modern designers (when in doubt, think Eames!). But if you want to add a little more meat to that knowledge, check out this handy cheat's guide to mid-century modern furniture:
So, when was this stuff designed?
In short, after the Second World War.
After the war, homes were built quickly and simply to cope with the rising demand. Furniture started to reflect these requirements too and became pared-back and functional using natural materials. Gone were the days of gaudy designs and overcomplicated pieces, now everything needed to be straight-forward and multi-functional.
There's some debate about when the 'mid-century modern' era comes to an end. Broadly speaking though, pieces designed and produced from 1945 all the way through to the mid-1970s tend to fall into this category.
Who are the designers we need to know?
Start easy, by getting to know Charles and Ray Eames. Firstly, you should know that 'Ray' actually refers to Ray-Bernice Alexandra Kaiser Eames. After marrying in 1941 and settling in California, the husband and wife team turned their spare room into a workshop and began their life's work designing and manufacturing some of the most iconic designs of the period.
Arne Jacobsen was a Danish architect and designer who initially created the Egg Chair in 1958 for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. Now synonymous with mid-century modern design and furniture, Jacobsen's designs are still produced today.
Isamu Noguchi was a Japanese American artist, architect and designer. The Noguchi table was first produced in 1947 and is comprised of a wooden base with two identical curved pieces and a heavy glass top.
Furniture pieces from these designers would have been out of reach for the average family in Britain. Instead, manufacturer such as G-Plan and Ercol began creating the highly functional, mass-producable furniture that is still so desirable today.
Where can I see these pieces?
If you're looking for some easy inspiration, start by watching Mad Men. The beautiful set design and attention to detail is extraordinary.
If you're left wanting more, make your way to one of the Midcentury Modern Shows held a couple of times a year and you can soak in Classic design from Britain, America and Scandinavia.
We'd love to hear from you about mid-century modern furniture and where you find your design inspiration. Get in touch in the comments or on social media. We love to chat!

Jammu, Aug 19 (UNI) Security forces have increased vigil in Chamba District of Himachal Pradesh following intelligence reports indicating possible entry of militants in the State.
''Pressurised by the counter-terrorist operations of the Army, in the neighbouring districts of Jammu and Kashmir, the militants may sneak into Chamba to look for safe sanctuaries,'' an official spokesman said.
''The Army has undertaken steps to pre-empt such possible terrorist movement into the pristine Himachal territory and has increased vigil along the roads and interiors in Chamba district in conjunction with other security forces deployed in the area,'' he said.
Intelligence agencies recently indicated about the possible bid of terrorist groups sneaking into Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday June 24th, 2014 12:00pm
This Thompson i6 is strung with a simple six-diamond traditional. It features specially treated leathers from Thompson Lacrosse, which are weatherproof and very strong. They'll be available through Thompson Lacrosse in the near future.
The pocket is strung with rugged bootlace as crosslace to finish this old-school, classic look, which was popular in the '80s and '90s.
Purple shooting strings give it the Iroquois flare and match up with the purple in the i6 logo on the ballstop. The Thompson i6 is definitely a stringer's dream and takes traditional extremely well.
See more of my work on my author page, and visit Inside Lacrosse's new Stick Tech section to see tons of stringing work featured in the Stringers Spotlight. You can follow me on Instagram at @KJSTRINGZ29 and on Twitter @kjstrinz29. You can contact me about stringing at email@example.com.

Apple's ignored quite a bit of its software for awhile. Hopefully this is a good sign.

Online, after a mere 400 years
Part of one of the most important texts in the Jewish canon is to be made available online for the first time, fulfilling a request by its previous owner.
The first two books of the Mishneh Torah, the comprehensive code of Jewish law written in the 12th century by Moses Maimonides, the Rambam, were acquired by Oxford University's Bodleian Library around 400 years ago.
Signed by the Rambam himself as "Moses son of Rabbi Maimon of blessed memory", the manuscripts include the Sefer Madda (Book of Knowledge) and the Sefer Ahavah (Book of Love).
Until now, researchers who wanted to consult the original copy of the Rambam's words had to go to the library in person. Now the text is available free to a worldwide audience because it has been digitised, thanks to a donation by the US-based philanthropist George Blumenthal.
In making it accessible to a wide readership, the Bodleian has fulfilled the dying wish of the manuscript's onetime owner, Eleazar, son of Perahya.
Eleazar, who is thought to have lived in the 12th century, wrote in his will that no single person should ever take possession of the text, but that it should be "kept available so that all scholars can correct their own version against it".
The Rambam wrote the 14-chapter Mishneh Torah over a 10-year period and it has never been equalled as an explanation of Jewish law.
Dr Piet van Boxel, curator of the Hebrew holdings at the Bodleian, said the collection had always tried to adhere to Eleazar's will. "However, conservation concerns and practical considerations have limited the possibility of consulting the manuscript. The digital revolution has overcome these limitations."

1) Ormr is norse for dragon. So that's what the clan is called.
2)The will be a human toothless. and then there won't be...well, you'll see soon enough. X)
It wasn't an easy life on the Island of Berk.
For one thing, the habitants were anything but subtle. Of course, they were Vikings, and not just any Vikings, but the Hairy Hooligans. The oldest, and most prominant clan of all Vikings. Their clan had existed for over seven hundred years. They were deeply respected by all of their neighboring islands and the clans that inhabited them... all except one.
Berk had many faults, such as the nearly year-round cold and chilly climates, the lack of food that always seemed to get worse, or the sheer brutality of their inhabitants. However, their largest one by far was the dragons.
They appeared quite recently, only about a century ago did they arrive. It felt like a thousand years to the Hooligans.
(Flashback: Berk)
They came out of nowhere when they first attacked.
The Hooligans were celebrating their Chief's acension to his title. His name was Strom, and his father was standing on the cliff, looking proud. The day had finally come for his son to take his title from him. He knew that Strom was more than ready. The ceremony was about to begin, there was a bounty of food, drink and music. There was laughter, friendly brawls, an overall sense of carefree happiness. It was the last time they could ever enjoy themselves unrestrained.
And then the Dragons came.
At first when they saw a shadow cross the sky, they dismissed it as a bird and continued on their party. Then another came, followed by another. Before anybody knew it the dragons began swarming into the village. They came down upon the village, and snuffed out the torches, so it was near pitch black, they attacked the farms and the livestock, spouting fire to get the villagers out of their way. People were screaming in a panic; the men of the village gathered their weapons while the women gathered the children and elderly. The men did their best to defend their village, but they were too ill-prepared, and the battle ended brutally.
No dragons were killed, but at least forty villagers were either dead or critically injured. Among them was the Chief himself. At his side was Strom, looking grimly down at his father, and although no tears were shed, the grief was apparent on his face.
The Chief's side had a long deep gash running along his body, blood was pouring freely from it. Blood also trickled down the left side of his mouth. He held his shaking hand out to his son who quickly grasped it.
"Protect...them." he had whipsered. He handed over his helmet to his son, who took it gravely and nodded.
With that nod, the Chief closed his eyes forever.
Strom let out a roar of rage. His roar had echoed throughout the island, his rage and grief had shaken the land itself.
From that day on, Strom had sworn on his father's grave, that he and his decendants would avenge his father, and destroy their ultimate enemy.
The Dragons.
Not too long after the attack, the Hooligans had heard the rumors of a new clan arriving. Suspicious rumors cirulated around them, people saying that they were foreigners who dealt in the Dark Arts. When Strom wanted to confront the clan, he demanded where their island was, only to find out nobody knew. No one knew where this new clan had come from, no one knew what their motives were. As far as they could tell no outsiders were allowed on their island, it was always them who appeared on the neighbors island.
Strom soon discovered that they were called the Ormr clan. The name itself was foreign, and he soon saw with his own eyes at how different they were. For they had made a visit to his island. Although their leader seemed to be friendly, Strom was still suspicious. He didn't know why but somehow he knew that they had something to do with the dragons.
When he had confronted the Ormr clan's leader about him, he immediately denied it. Strom immediately accused him of lying, and they got into a heated argment, which ended in Strom punching the leader in the face. Immediately his warriors had rushed to defend him, and Strom's Vikings in return did the same for their clan. At that very spot Strom had declared war on the Ormr clan and had branded them as enemies of the Hooligans.
From that day on, the Ormr clan and the Hairy Hooligans had been at war. Thier battles would take place on either the water or on Berk. Never on the Ormr's island, the Hooligans had tried and failed on many occasions, but their island could never be found.
(Flashback end)
Now a hundred years had passed, and they still couldn't be discovered.
Little did the people of Berk know one of their own would end this war once and for all, and bring the clans together.
Someone they had never expected.
I know! I know!
It's a slow start. I promise that there's more to come!
Let me know what you think please!
3 guesses to who Strom's descendants are! ;)

Cast all your anxiety…
on him because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
The night before Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No laptop was whirring, nor a computer mouse.
The children were tucked up in their warm cosy beds
While dreams of tablets and scooters danced round their heads.
Mum and Dad watched a box set, on sofa sat
with hot chocolate, popcorn and Toby the cat.
A glass of milk and ginger biscuits on a plate
For a special guest on coffee table did wait.
"Let's go to bed," Mum said yawning, "it's getting late."
"Soon a visitor will be opening the gate."
"Yes," agreed Dad, "I have wrapped all of our gifts,
I'm glad my boss hasn't got me working night shift."
When the family were finally fast asleep,
In the garden landed reindeer without a peep.
And out from the sleigh that they magically lead,
stepped Father Christmas, dressed in white and red.
"Reindeer, wait here. I have some gifts to deliver."
"I'll be back soon. I see the snow makes you shiver."
Then the jolly old man took out his magic key
and unlocked the front door slowly and quietly.
He was just putting our presents under the tree
When he looked up with a smile and spotted me!
I had heard a noise and crept slowly down the stair
And could hardly believe who I saw standing there.
"Sorry!" I gasped. "I didn't know you were real."
"I am!" He chuckled. "Will you join me in my meal?"
So we sat on the sofa and enjoyed our snack
While Toby purred happily on Santa's lap.
"What's it like, travelling round the world," I asked
"each Christmas eve, it must be a difficult task?"
"I love seeing all of the countries," he replied,
like Poland, Botswana, Japan and Paraguay.
People live in interesting homes, that's for sure,
In tents, wooden huts, caves and on the sea shore.
All children are unique in such different ways
But with a love of toys and play, they're all the same."
I ate my crunchy biscuit and answered "Say,
I've never thought of it before in that way.
The other children might not look or talk like me,
But we all need fun, and the love of our family."
"I must be going," he said, "I have elf-made toys
To deliver to many little girls and boys."
I looked out of the window to see the sleigh
With reindeers and Father Christmas, flying away.
I heard his happy call as he flew out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
Jake's diary
I recently wrote this story for Brighter Futures, the Great Western Hospital charity that is raising funds for a new radiotherapy centre in Swindon. For more details, see Brighter Futures Web site.
By Alex Dixon

15 April
My name is Jake and I am 12. I live in Swindon with my mum and annoying little sister Rosie. I love football, X-Box and sketching. Mum works in a bank or something, and Rosie's favourite hobby is winding me up. She also loves going to school, which is proof that she's crazy.
Yesterday Mum sat Rosie and me down. She looked serious. Mum told us that she is poorly.
"I have cancer." She whispered.
I burst into tears. Cancer? Cancer! I can't believe it.
Rosie went quiet for a minute and then asked
"Are you going to go bald, Mummy?"
"Yes I am going to lose my hair, darling, but it will grow back again one day. When I'm better."
"Maybe your hair will grow back blonde, like mine." Rosie smiled.
"That would be cool." Replied Mum.
I didn't say much. After a while, I went to my room. I texted Sam to ask if he wanted to meet at the park, but he was out with his parents. I climbed into my bed and tried not to think. I fell asleep and woke up feeling angry.
Why did my Mum have to get cancer? She doesn't deserve it. Why didn't some nasty old person who kicks puppies get it instead of her? It isn't fair.
I need to ask Mum something, but I'm too scared.
I went downstairs and pretended that everything was ok. I needed to be strong for Mum and Rosie. I need make sure they were ok.
16 April
It was a rubbish day today. The teachers kept telling me off for staring out of the window. I made a jokey reply to Miss Simmons, my English teacher, and she gave me detention. Just what I need!
When I got home, Gran and Grandad were there with Mum. I could tell that they had all been crying, even though they put on fake smiles when they saw me.
Rosie was playing in her room.
"Why aren't you at work, Mum?" I asked.
"I've been signed off work for my treatment. I'm going to start chemo soon." She replied.
I sat down heavily on the sofa. Gran went to the kitchen to get me a drink. Grandad went to play Hungry Hippos with Rosie.
I looked at Mum. She seemed so well, so normal!
"I am going to be ill for a while, Jake. I might be sick a lot. I will be tired and might not be able to make dinner or do as much. But we'll get through it, won't we? And Gran and Grandad will help a lot too."
Mum smiled but her eyes were sad.
"I can help with cooking and cleaning and stuff. I can learn how to do the washing. I'll look after you and Rosie." I said.
Mum started crying.
We went to a pizza place for dinner with Gran and Grandad. Mum said that she wouldn't be able to go out so much when she was having chemo, because of the germs. When people have chemo they can pick up a bug or infection really easily, and can get sick. Sicker. We'll have to start washing our hands all the time: as soon as we get home; before any cooking; after we sneeze or cough. It's going to be hard.
I was knackered by the time we got home so I didn't get to speak properly to Mum last night. I still didn't get a chance to ask her the question that I need to ask but don't want to.
I woke up from a nightmare and couldn't get back to sleep for hours. I'm worried how we will cope. I'm worried that Mum is sicker than she's telling us. I'm worried about a lot of things.
17 April
I told Sam about Mum today. He noticed that I've been weird. I find it hard to concentrate at school. I don't really enjoy football anymore. He looked really sad when I told him. He didn't know what to say. I told him that he doesn't need to say anything, just be my mate.
My teachers all know about the cancer now. I can tell straight away which ones have been told, because they look sad and ask me how I am. Even Miss Simmons was nice to me!
29 April
Mum had her first chemo today. Grandad took her and Gran stayed at ours to cook dinner. When I got home, Mum was having a nap. I asked Grandad how it went and he said
"As well as could be expected."
Mum woke up just in time to have dinner. She didn't eat much and went back to bed soon after. Rosie was upset so I read her bedtime story and put her to bed. Gran and Grandad said that they were tired and went home, so I stayed up by myself for a while watching You Tube videos. The house was too quiet. I checked in on Mum before going to bed, in case she needed anything.
"Mum, are you ok?" I whispered.
"Yes, just tired darling." She replied.
"Have you been sick?" I asked.
"No, not yet. I'm ok. Will you be ok getting Rosie to school tomorrow?" She asked.
"No problem. Night Mum."
"Goodnight Jake."
23 May
Mum has had her second chemo. She had to go into hospital yesterday because she has an infection. I'm really worried.
Rosie and I were allowed to visit her for a few minutes last night. She was hooked up to machines and looked rough. Rosie cried when she saw her and was a nightmare for the rest of the day.
I asked Mum when she was coming home and she said,
"As soon as I can. Although it is nice being served hand and foot by the nurses in here."
I hope that she comes home soon. Gran and Grandad are nice but they are so old! I'm not even allowed to have my mobile at the dining room table, and they treat me like I'm five. Rosie loves it though. They let her eat as much ice cream and crisps as she likes.
27 May
Mum is out of hospital now. Rosie is being clingy with her and winding me up. She's acting like a baby, and I have to get her breakfast and walk her to school every day.
I'm knackered. I keep having nightmares. In them, I wake up and realise that I am in a strange room, all alone. I try to find a door but there aren't any. There are no windows either. I start to panic and then actually wake up.
People are being really nice to me at school, especially the girls, so it's not all bad.
Some people don't talk to me anymore though. Harry used to always invite himself to mine to play X-box but he hasn't spoken to me in weeks. I'm not bothered because I have enough friends but still.
The school counsellor, Mrs Brown, caught up with me the other day and asked if I wanted to talk. I said no thanks. I don't know why people want me to talk all the time now! Before they always used to tell me to shut up.
30 June
I am done with cancer now. It can just get lost! Argh.
Why did this have to happen to Mum? Why did it have to happen to me and Rosie? Mum's never hurt anyone in her life. And now look at her! All her hair has fallen out and she looks so tired and sad. I feel about 50.
Sam keeps talking about his summer holiday this year. He's going to Florida with his parents and brother. I can't even think as far as next week, and we're definitely not planning a holiday.
How can we, when Mum might not even be alive by summer? She might die. She hasn't told me that but I know it might happen.
It sucks. 😔😢😠
5 July
I finally asked her last night, when Rosie had gone to bed and we were watching Bear Grylls on telly.
"Mum?" I asked.
"Yes Jake?"
"Please tell me the truth…"
"About what darling?"
She put down her coffee, paused the show and looked at me.
"About, well, I mean, are you going to… are you going to die?" I whispered.
Mum stood up, walked over to me and gave me a massive hug.
"I am not planning on going anywhere." She said.
"No, but what if you get another infection? What if you die during your operation? What will happen to me and Rosie?" I started to cry.
"Oh sweetheart. How long have you been worrying about this? Listen, my oncologist says that I am responding very well to the chemo. As long as I am careful, I hopefully won't get another infection. And my surgeon and the other doctors know exactly what they are doing with the operation. They've done it hundreds of times. I am young and should make a quick recovery."
She sat down on the sofa next to me.
"But, what if you die anyway?"
"If I die, which I'm sure won't happen for a very long time, then you and Rosie will be ok. Gran and Grandad can look after you. I'm so proud of you! I know that you will grow up into an amazing, kind man. I will be ok though, I can feel it." She smiled.
"You don't know that mum." I replied.
"No, but I have faith. I'm going to be ok. We're all going to be ok."
My mum is so cool sometimes.
25 July
It's the school holidays! Yay.
Sam is going to Florida next week, but I don't mind so much anymore. Mum found us a last-minute holiday deal online. We are going to Cornwall with Gran and Gramps for a week. I'm going to do some surfing lessons and Mum is going to chill. She's even going to go to the beach with us. But I told her to be really careful, and she must have a nap when she gets tired.
I'm so excited! I can't wait. 😀 🐚 🍦🕶
20 December
Man, it's been a tough year. Mum finished her chemo in summer and had an operation in October. Her hair is growing back now and she's doing well.
Now she gets to have a break from cancer stuff until New Year, when she starts radiotherapy in Oxford. She's going to have to go travel 70 miles every week day for five weeks. She'll be really tired. One day Swindon hospital will have their own radiotherapy machines, which will make it much easier for people with cancer.
I did a 5k run the other day for the Brighter Futures charity, who are raising money to get our town some radiotherapy machines. I raised £160! Mum said that she's really proud of me.
It's nearly Christmas! I can't wait. I wonder what Mum got me? I bought Rosie a My Little Pony, I hope she likes it! I drew Mum a picture of us three, Mum, Rosie and me, lying on the beach in Cornwall. I also got her a woolly hat because she still gets a cold head sometimes. 🎅👼👪
The end
Dear every cancer patient I ever took care of, I'm sorry. I didn't get it.
Dear every cancer patient I ever took care of, I'm sorry. I didn't get it.
This thought has been weighing heavy on my heart since my diagnosis. I've worked in oncology nearly my entire adult life. I started rooming and scheduling patients, then worked as a nursing assistant through school, and finally as a nurse in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. I prided myself in connecting with my patients and helping them manage their cancer and everything that comes with it. I really thought I got it- I really thought I knew what it felt like to go through this journey. I didn't.
I didn't get what it felt like to actually hear the words. I've been in on countless diagnoses conversations and even had to give the news myself on plenty of occasions, but being the person the doctor is talking about is surreal. You were trying to…

Simple Explanation Of The Federal Reserve Statement (December 12 , 2012)Comments Off on Simple Explanation Of The Federal Reserve Statement (December 12 , 2012)
The Federal Open Market Committee voted to leave the Fed Funds Rate unchanged within its current target range of 0.000-0.250 percent Wednesday.
For the tenth consecutive meeting, the FOMC vote was nearly unanimous. Richmond Federal Reserve President Jeffrey Lacker was the lone dissenter in the 9-1 vote.
The Fed Funds Rate has been near zero percent since December 2008.
In its press release, the Federal Reserve noted that, since its last meeting in late-October, the U.S. economy has expanded "at a moderate pace" despite "weather-related disruptions". It also acknowledged that "strains in global financial markets" remain a threat to U.S. economic growth.
This comment is in direct reference to the Eurozone, its sovereign debt concerns, and its nation's economies.
The Fed included the following observations in its statement, too :
In addressing the housing market, the Fed said that there has been "further signs" of improvement and the group re-affirmed its commitment to the $40-billion monthly QE3 bond buying program.
QE3 is meant to suppress U.S. mortgage rates from rising too high, too quickly.
Lastly, the Federal Reserve announced an explicit economic target for when it will begin to consider raising the Fed Funds Rate from its current target range near 0.000%. When the national Unemployment Rate reaches 6.5%, the Fed said, it will likely move to start raising its benchmark borrowing rate.
Previously, the Fed had provided only a date-based target of mid-2015.
The 6.5% Unemployment Rate target may be pre-empted by rising inflation rates. The Fed does not expect price pressures to mount prior to jobless rates dropping from the current 7.7% levels, however.
Mortgage rates are rising post-FOMC announcement. Many lenders raised mortgage rates mid-day Wednesday in response to the Fed's statement.
The FOMC's next scheduled meeting is a two-day event scheduled for January 29-30, 2013.
The Federal Reserve Begins A 2-Day Meeting TodayComments Off on The Federal Reserve Begins A 2-Day Meeting Today
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) begins a 2-day meeting today, its last of 8 scheduled meetings this year.
The Federal Open Market Committee is a 12-person subcommittee within the Federal Reserve. It's the group which votes upon U.S. monetary policy.
The monetary policy action for which the FOMC is most well-known is its setting of the Fed Funds Funds. The Fed Funds Rate is the interest rate at which banks borrow money from each other overnight.
Since late-2008, the Fed Funds Rate has been near zero percent.
Prime Rate, a business and consumer interest rate used in lines of credit and credit card rates, is based on the Fed Funds Rate. Prime Rate has been similarly unchanged since 2008.
One rate which the Federal Reserve does not set is the 30-year fixed rate mortgage (FRM) rate.
Like all other mortgage rates, the 30-year FRM is based on the market value of mortgage-backed bonds; securities bought and sold by investors.
There is no correlation between the Federal Reserve's Fed Funds Rate and the everyday homeowner's 30-year fixed rate mortgage rate. Some months, the two rates converge. Other months, they diverge. Since 2000, they've been separated by as many as 5.29 percentage points.
They've been as close as 0.52 percentage points.
However, although the Federal Reserve does not set U.S. mortgage rates, that doesn't mean that it can't influence them. The Fed's post-meeting press release has been known to make mortgage rates get volatile.
If, in its post-meeting press release, the Fed notes that the U.S. economy is slowing and that new economic stimulus is warranted, mortgage rates will likely fall. This is because additional Fed stimulus would likely lend support to U.S. mortgage markets which would, in turn, boost demand for mortgage-backed bonds.
Conversely, if the Fed acknowledges stronger-than-expected growth in the U.S. economy and no need for new stimulus, mortgage rates are expected to rise.
Either way, mortgage rates will change Wednesday upon the FOMC's adjournment — we just don't know in which direction. Rate shoppers may see fluctuations of as much as 0.250 percent.
The FOMC adjourns at 12:30 PM ET.
Federal Reserve : New Economic Stimulus May Be WarrantedComments Off on Federal Reserve : New Economic Stimulus May Be Warranted
The Federal Reserve released its October Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes last week, revealing a Fed in disagreement about the future of the U.S. economy and about what, if any, stimulus may be warranted in the next 12 months.
The "Fed Minutes" recaps the conversations and debates that transpire during an FOMC meeting, and is published 3 weeks after the meeting adjourns.
According to the October minutes, FOMC members "generally agreed" that a housing recovery is under way nationwide, citing increased housing prices, higher sales volume, and rising construction in many parts of the country.
FOMC members made no major policy changes at their last meeting, but agreed that a continuation of additional asset purchases would likely be necessary in 2013, in order to achieve a substantial improvement in the labor market.
Other notes from within the Fed Minutes included:
The economic forecast prepared by the FOMC staff shows an uptick in consumer spending, residential construction, and labor market conditions which more than offset recent downgrades in the business fixed investment and the industrial production outlooks.
Through 2013, economic activity is projected to accelerate gradually, supported by a lessening in fiscal policy restraints. The Fed also anticipates that Fairfax, VA home buyers will benefit from looser credit standards.
Low mortgage rates are helping home buyers, too.
According to Freddie Mac, the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage rate was 3.34% last week, down from 3.55% in September. This has given a boost to buyer purchasing power nationwide and the year-end housing market may reflect it. Demand for homes remains strong.
The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for December 11-12, 2012.
