Hideo Kojima and Mark Cerny In Search of New Game Tech
After Hideo Kojima formed his new company, Kojima Productions any hints at what he is working on is big news. Even if it is just a road trip in search of new technology to work on his latest game.
This so-called road trip was revealed by Kojima and his travelling partner Mark Cerny on Twitter:
Bound for 10-day trip searching for the newest technology with Mark-san (@cerny ). It will be a world tour! pic.twitter.com/B1XItIS8z4
— HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) January 19, 2016
Spending the next ten days with THIS guy… #myfirsttweet pic.twitter.com/1Z1fJOUS2t
— Mark Cerny (@cerny) January 19, 2016
Though its only a ten-day trip, the thought of these two travelling around the world looking for the latest tech to use has a certain excitement about it. With the length of the trip they obviously already know where they are visiting, and what they have planned. The fact that Kojima is also teasing it means that big things are in the pipeline.
While we obviously won't know much until the big reveal, it looks like 2016 will be a big year for Kojima's new company and he has big plans for his first game (which will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive). He is obviously in good company with Mark Cerny who will obviously steer development on the console he worked on in the right direction.
Are you looking forward to seeing what Kojima is working on? Let us know your thoughts below.

A wide variety of applications in science, industry and entertainment require high quality reproduction of sound using available sound recording techniques and equipment. High-quality, low-noise sound reproductions, for example, are of critical importance in the television and movie industry. There, crisp, clean voice and dialog reproduction must be achieved despite ambient and background noise levels of moderate to high amplitude.
One frequently encountered source of undesirable background noise is caused by air moving relative to the sound transducing device, which is most typically an omnidirectional or unidirectional microphone. As a result, a "whooshing" or rushing sound is imposed on the desired audio, thus resulting in deteriorated sound quality.
This type of noise may occur due to environmental or operational requirements and conditions. For example, wind noise often occurs when a microphone is panned during an indoor shoot, whether on a boom or simply held in hand with an extension. Likewise, such noise may be caused by forced air movement such as by fans or dynamic special effects equipment.
In certain applications, such as speeches or movie productions, unidirectional microphones are used which can reject most rear and lateral wind noise. However, this reduction is only effective at very low relative velocities, and will not reduce head-on wind noise. Further, unidirectional microphones are not suitable for all applications.
There are several prior art schemes that have been employed in an attempt to eliminate or reduce microphone wind noises. One is the use of a foam "sock" which is pulled over the microphone head. However, foam socks tend to physically deteriorate over time. As a result, foam particulates often fall into the microphone head, causing damage and reduced performance. Also, foam socks suffer the drawback of only being effective to reduce wind noise due to very slight breezes, up to approximately three miles per hour. This is a severe limitation in a broad spectrum of standard outdoor and indoor operating environments essential to the film and television industry. To overcome this limitation, electronic filtering techniques have been used to filter out wind noise resulting from velocities exceeding three miles per hour. Unfortunately, electronic filtering also attenuates desired audio frequencies, thereby substantially degrading sound quality.
Another prior art scheme used to reduce wind noise is the use of a gun-type microphone windshield. This device typically consists of suspending or supporting the microphone on a pair of suspension mounts, and enclosing the microphone in a plastic mesh cylinder lined with a wind interfering material. The suspension mounts, however, can obstruct the soundfield near the front of the microphone. Also, these units include a large air space between the interior surface of the windshield and the surface of the microphone. Thus, the diameter of the windshield is typically 3 to 5 times larger than the diameter of the microphone, and may intefere with a scene.
The prior art suspension mount wind shield also suffers the drawback of being bulky and cumbersome to handle. In addition, they are not suitable for direct mounting on home or professional video equipment which commonly include an integral microphone, because of their size and because they require an air gap which creates a large diameter apparatus.
A microphone wind shroud for attenuating microphone noise resulting from the relative movement of air with respect to a microphone is described. The present invention is a unitary structure that is slidably receivable onto the neck of a microphone having an integral suspension for resiliently retaining the wind shroud in place. The mounting means incorporates a combination closed-cell and open-cell foam suspension support sections.
The wind shroud is a narrow cylindrical body which aligns with the shape of the microphone and can therefore fit between the narrow spaces provided between the microphone mount and the camera in modern video camera equipment. A grid-like structure covered with a multilayer laminate material provides for attenuation of undesired wind noise of speeds of up to 25 miles per hour while allowing desired audio frequencies, such as speech and music to pass freely to the transducer element of the microphone. It is therefore one object of the present invention to provide a microphone wind shroud that can be easily and inexpensively manufactured while providing superior attenuation over prior art attenuation methods. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a microphone wind shroud that is compact for being used with modern day microphones mounted to mini-camera equipment. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a resilient lightweight integral wind shroud suspension mount so that mechanical deflection and vibration is eliminated or substantially reduced without compromising the secure fit of the wind shroud to the microphone.
Other objects and attendant advantages of the present invention will become more apparant upon a reading of the specification and examination of the drawings in which, like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout and in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the Microphone Wind Shroud.
FIG. 2 is a cross-section of the Microphone Wind Shroud taken along Line 2--2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a cross-section of the Microphone Wind Shroud taken along the front section thereof.
The present invention relates to an article of manufacture for attentuating microphone noise caused by the relative motion of air moving with respect to a microphone. Referring generally to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in plan view. The microphone wind shroud 10 consists of a substantially cylindrical body 12, head 14, and mount 16. The cylindrical body 12 and head 14 are composed of a plastic material, such as polyethelyene, which is formed in a gridlike pattern. The body and head operate as a resilient protective element that protects the microphone and gives the present invention its external form, and simultaneously allows desired audio frequency sound waves, such as speech or music, to pass through the grid openings.
The head 14 is a molded hemispherical section of the polyethylene plastic grid material. The head 14 is secured to the body 12 with a polyethylene lamination 15 or other suitable binding method so as to form a contiguous sealed unit with the body 12. Unlike solid plastic rings which can be crushed and do not accomodate the resilient grid material flexibility, the plastic laminate is light and can be deformed plastically and resiliently. Also, the laminate is lighter than a foam and provides a low contiguous profile for accomodating an additional one-layer of sound alternating material.
The body may be formed from a sheet of grid material which is formed into a cylinder and then sealed along it longitudinal seam with a laminate or suitable adhesive. Alternatively, the body can be formed as a unitary cylindrical structure using molding or other forming techniques widely known in the art.
Referring now to FIG. 3 the interior surface of the body and head are lined completely with a fabric lining 22. In the present preferred embodiment, this lining is composed of a multilayer laminate material.
As best illustrated in FIG. 3 the laminate includes an upper layer of napped nylon 24, an intermediate layer of open cell polyurethane foam 25, and a lower layer of woven nylon 26. The three layers are glued together using a resin or other suitable adhesive. The laminate 22 is securely affixed to the interior surface 50 of the head and body with the napped nylon layer exposed through the grid openings of the webbing such that the laminate conforms uniformly to the webbing surface contour.
The laminate structure, combined with the webbing, serves as a wind interfering and muffling medium. Thus, audio frequencies are able to pass through the wind shroud to the microphone, while undesirable wind noise is broken up and attenuated by the baffling effect of the combined laminate and grid structure.
As shown in FIG. 1, the microphone wind shroud includes a mount 16 which is easily securable directly to a camera mounted microphone or other microphone of selected dimensions. The mount 16 is a unitary piece of molded plastic or other resilient composition which has a body-mounting end 34 and a microphone connector end 36. The body 12 of the wind shroud 10 is fixedly secured to the body-mounting end 34 along channel 38. The channel has an internal groove 39 which is matably received about the circumfrence of the back end of the wind shroud body. The body mounting end 34 of the mount is retained about the first lip 35 by a suitable adhesive, such as cyanoacrylate, plastic adhesive or other suitable adhesive.
As shown in FIG. 1, and as further illustrated in FIG. 2 showing a cross section of the wind shroud taken along line 2--2, the mount has a gradual taper which narrows to a reduced diameter at the microphone connector end 36 to accomodate the neck 40 of the microphone 42.
A closed-cell cylindrical foam insert 44 having an outer diameter approximately equal to that of the inner diameter of the microphone connector end 36, aligns with the microphone connector end 36 and extends inward therefrom. It is adhesively maintained in that position by being resiliently packed therein with open-celled plastic foam 41 which fills the region between the inner surface 43 of the mount and the outer diameter of the insert 45. Thus, a shock and sound absorbent connection is achieved which securedly retains the microphone wind shroud to the microphone.
Referring generally to FIG. 2, the microphone wind shroud is shown in its mounted condition on the integral microphone 42.
The wind shroud is mounted to this position easily by simply sliding the wind shroud down the neck of the microphone until the mount 16 engages with the base of the microphone neck. The mount 16 is designed to engage with the neck with a tight interference fit such that the foam insert 44 is maintained in compression when mounted, so that the wind shroud is retained rigidly in place.
The above-described mount 16 provides a resilient connection and support which protects the microphone from shock and vibration and also allows the wind shroud to be deflected if struck, without bending or otherwise damaging the microphone. Thus, the shroud not only substantially reduces or eliminates wind noise but also protects the microphone head. Because of the wide variety of environments and rugged operating conditions that video cameras are exposed to, the physical protection to the microphone acheived by the present invention can substantially increase the working life of the microphone.
In addition to protecting the microphone from injury due to droppage and the like, the present invention also provides resistance to other mechanical and environmental intrusions such as rain and snow. Further, unlike prior art wind noise reducing devices like foam socks, the foam interface between the microphone, mount and hard plastic shell that surrounds the mount of the present invention, isolates camera motor noise eminating from video camera auto-focus motor and other motorized internal components thereof. Further, the sound baffling meduim of the wind shroud dampens noise by attenuating the higher frequencies of motor noise, which, unlike frequencies for human speech, do not pass freely through the present invention.
The above-described mounting arrangement overcomes numerous disadvantages of the prior art. For example, prior art wind noise reduction schemes that are able to attenuate moderate and high wind speeds cannot be fitted directly over the microphone. They typically incorporate a large air gap and independent shock mounts, requiring a diameter of 4 to 8 inches for a 1 inch diameter microphone. They also are typically too long for many applications because they must enclose both ends of the microphone. Such prior art devices could not be accomodated in the small circumferential area surrounding the microphone on modern mini-cameras used both in the home and in industry.
Additionally, the present invention eliminates the necessity for expensive and multiple independent shock mounts, which also require additional manufacturing and mounting steps. There are significantly fewer manufacturing steps required to manufacture the present invention to provide the same anti-rumble advantages acheived by more complicated prior art assemblies.
Physical protection not previously available in "foam sock" type wind noise reducers, as well as increased wind noise attenuation is also achieved by the present inventive wind shroud. Similarly, complex electronic sound filtering, which is expensive and subject to on-location failure and requires a power source, is unnecessary. Thus, using the present invention, high-quality sound reproduction can be achieved in winds up to the twenty-mile-an-hour range inexpensively and using a minumum of space.
The fabrication of the present invention can be accomplished using off-the-shelf plastic grid stock and laminate fabrics, and readily available adhesive. To fabricate the wind shroud, the fabric laminate is assembled by binding the respective laminate layers together. The laminate composite is then heat-laminated to the plastic grid stock. The grid is then formed into a cylinder, which is adhesively joined at a seam along the longitudinal axis of the cylinder by laminating a strip of polyethelyne along the aligned seam edges. Alternatively, a pre-formed cylindrical grid can be used and other adhesive may also be used to join the seam. The head is molded to form a hemisphere using heat forming, or other fabricating techniques widely known in the art. It is then mounted to the second lip 48 of the body with polyethelyne laminate or other suitable adhesive to the cylinder.
The mount 16 is hard-cast plastic which also can be molded extruded or otherwise manufactured for a particular application. The closed-cell foam rubber insert is then inserted through the end of the mount shell to align flush therewith. The void between the insert and inner wall of the mount is then filled with plastic open-cell foam to provide a light and strong means to securely hold the insert in place.
In this manner, a simple, inexpensive and effective manufacture of the present microphone wind shroud having a substantially reduced diameter and increased efficiency over prior art wind noise reducing devices, is accomplished in the present invention.

"I just want to thank College Planning Advisors for all the help that we received. You were very helpful with financial applications (that I knew nothing about). This was our first child out of three, and we really didn't know what we were doing. The most helpful process for us was the great financial advice before filling out all the forms so we can qualify for more financial aid and scholarships. We can't thank you enough. My daughter now knows where she wants to go to school and I don't know if she could have done it in the time without your help."
Shawn, Granada Hills, CA
Non-academic student activities can help give colleges a window into your child's interests, and help admissions officers get to know your child. No college wants just an academic automaton; catching the eye of colleges and universities takes having hobbies, volunteer/internships, pastimes, social outlets, and passions that demonstrate commitment and leadership. College Planning Advisors experts can help you and your child choose 'get-you-noticed' activities that are both fun and helpful for your profile. For more detailed information, check out our 'Ask Ed' article in the LA Times.
You may have heard some people quote their GPA as greater than 4.0. Many high schools will give extra GPA points for AP and other advanced classes, yielding a weighted grade point average. Most colleges prefer to see a non-weighted GPA, which means that all grades are calculated on a 4-point scale, regardless of level. Please check with your high school to see how they calculate grades. Remember that most electives and physical education are not included in GPA reported to colleges.
The earlier you begin planning for college; the better off you will be when the time comes. Start by taking College Planning Advisors University Prep student positioning courses to get your child taking the right high school classes, working at high-visibility internships and volunteer opportunities, actively thinking about their future, and getting ready for college process.
Not all loan instruments are the same, and some may cost you more than you'd expect. Much depends on your personal financial situation and goals, and each should be evaluated with these in mind. Our certified and licensed professionals can give you an in-depth analysis of the actual cost of each type of loan.
Despite what you may have been lead to believe, private scholarships are often not worth the effort. At times, schools will even reduce your financial aid award by the amount of any outside private scholarships. However, if you are still interested in pursuing private scholarships, start first with any organizations or corporations to which you belong, including religious institutions. Be certain to follow all instructions and deadlines.
There are many factors that can affect whether a school is a good fit for your child, including campus population, location, class size, school emphasis, social environment, and of course, average GPA and test scores. Financial factors may play a role as well. For example, is it a historically aid-generous school? Getting to know more about the school is a good way to determine with your child if the school seems like a good match. Don't be afraid to challenge old ideas to include a wide variety of school choices. With the in-depth knowledge of our team, we can provide you with excellent school options best matched to your child's interests.
In many cases, we can still help you amend your documents, or file an appeal. Every day matters so contact one of our offices as soon as possible.
My main concern is how I'm going to pay for college. Does this mean my child should only be applying to public schools?
It is a common misperception that state and public colleges will necessarily cost you less than private ones. In fact, because it can take longer to graduate (due to the availability of requisite classes, and lack of resources), and their financial aid packages are often less generous, public colleges can actually have a higher 'effective' COA (cost of attendance) than private schools. Our Planners can assist you with this institution-specific information.
My child goes to private school and they have a special college counseling office. Can't they take care of all our needs?
While most private schools have helpful college counseling offices that are ready with a variety of information and assistance designed to encourage college-bound students, they are often unequipped to actively help evaluate your EFC (Estimated Family Contribution), match historically aid-generous schools to your child's interests, and maximize financial aid awards. We work directly with many high schools to increase their percentage of college-bound students.
My friend is an accountant and said he can help me get financial aid without hiring a college planner. Is this true?
It is a common misconception that getting financial aid is easy. For many, filling out the forms can be confusing and complicated. And, while the forms can be completed by anyone, it takes a highly qualified professional to identify and resolve problem areas that can increase your EFC (Estimated Family Contribution), to know which schools are historically aid-generous and match your child's interests, and to maximize financial aid awards.

Tarsem's AVClub Interview
Following up on my earlier post about The Fall here's a lengthy interview with Tarsem in the Onion's AV Club where he reveals himself to be quite a character. Some excerpts follow.
On his love for his work:
All I can say—a lot of people do music videos so they can do commercials, they do commercials so they can do films. I happen to be like a prostitute in love with the profession. I keep saying, "I'd fuck 'em for free. But they pay me money, and I'm very grateful."
The film required the lead actor, Lee Pace, to play a paralyzed man. Apparently, Tarsem neglected to tell his crew and cast that Lee actually was fine in real life:
I thought, "How long can we carry this façade?" And funny enough—it was such a big lie, it was so audaciously big, and we isolated everybody from everything else, and after about a week and a half, it was absolute. Only one person on the set knew, and that was a nurse who would take him to the toilet. Lee would go to the gym, and once, he said, "Today, I almost got caught, because one of the actors walked right past me!" It was just like nobody could see him walking. They were all day working with him in a wheelchair, so they didn't see him when he was standing up. And a lot of times, with men in the gym, you don't want to look at a person. It's like a nightclub, you know? It might be seen as making a pass. So literally, people don't make much eye contact in a gym. So he'd go to the gym, and just he would see these people and say, "Oh my God, I'm caught!" And they'd walk right by him.
On he was drawn to filmmaking:
Basically, I told my dad that I wanted to study film when I saw a book in India. It said, Guide To Film Schools In America, and it changed my world. If you come from a culture like Japan's or India's, you think you just go to college to study something that you hate and your parents love. And for me to see a book called Guide To Film Schools, it was like a book called How To Sleep With Blondes 101. I said, "I'm fuckin' there!" They teach this in school?
On his journey through film school:
And then the first guy that tried to pick me up on Santa Monica Blvd. was going to City College. And I went out there and realized how great it was, and I got admission straight away. After one term, I realized didn't have any money, so I had a friend register whose name was Randy Marsh, and I got my education under his name. Just made a fake ID, and then I used that to basically make a film that got me a scholarship at the Art Center, changed my name back to the same, and said, "Here I is! Let me fuckin' shoot!"
On his relationship with his parents and reconciling with his estranged father who never forgave him for entering film school:
A little late, I think. He passed away three years ago. But with my mom, it never made a difference. I mean, first-born Indian son—as far as she's concerned, I've shat marbles since I was 2 years old. My dad, no.
On his sensibilities:
And as far as colors—Indians love colors. Especially the poorer you are, the more red and yellow you put in. And let's just say I come from a poor background, and leave it there.
I could go on and on. Do check out the interview - it has a lot more.

Of Soccer And Coverage ..
Something odd happened when I was in my car yesterday. It was afternoon and I had AM radio going - KNBR 680. It was some kind of national talk show, the kind devoted to endless musings on whatever is hot in the USA at the moment, be they the NBA playoffs, Danica's NASCAR win, ice hockey or baseball, good, solid merkin games created and played in North America.
Only there was one difference. The callers wanted to talk about soccer. Not water polo, not lacross, but football. The global kind, not the American one.
One more thing: the callers weren't on the line with questions about the US soccer league. No, they wanted to vent about the just-concluded Champions League final between Manchester United and Chelsea in Moscow. The announcers wanted to steer the conversation to how soccer could be improved for US consumptions. The callers weren't having any of it. They wanted to talk about the penalty shoot out. They were outraged by the slippery state of the pitch. They were touched by Alex Ferguson's victory dance in the rain.
The announcers, clearly taken aback, could only comment on the sheer volume of people lined up to talk.
I never thought I'd live to see this day. I recall, 20 or so odd years ago, when as a major English Premier League fan, trying to get the latest scores was a fiendishly tough task. Forget any US radio or television, your only hope was the New York Times. Or a short wave radio able to tune into the BBC world service.
We've come a long way indeed. Now, a black man and a white woman can vie for the US Presidency and an Indian American can attract attention as a potential Republican Vice Presidential candidate. And US fans avidly follow a game held in Moscow, Russia.
The personal irony in all of this is I've long given up following the Premiership, preferring baseball instead. So it goes.

The Fall
Director Tarsem Singh Dhandwar's followup to the The Cell is generating attention, not only for its imagery:
an underwater shot of an elephant swimming gracefully overhead, a palace courtyard built out of interlocking staircases that might have been designed by M. C. Escher, a village clinging to a mountainside where all of the buildings seem to have been individually painted in subtly different shades of inky blue.
but also for how the visuals were created:
These images amaze precisely because they are quite evidently real, bursting with the life and detail that elude even the most advanced digital artist. "I decided it wasn't going to be C.G.I.," said Tarsem
And, how did Tarsem find the money to shoot all of this?
Then he went to work on the fantasy sequences, saving time and money by piggybacking on his commercial assignments. "I shot first in India, then in Namibia. The crew got smaller and smaller. I would only do adverts in areas where I wanted to shoot: China, Argentina, Bali."
"Had a studio done what he did, it would have been an $80 million movie. But he's so experienced at it and knows people in all these countries and knows how to shoot with a tiny crew. That's how he got away with it. But still, he spent his own money, which is insane."
On the insanity issue, Tarsem concurs: "It had to be made by somebody at a mad junction in his life."
Ha! The Onion's AV club writes of the film that "it's the most glorious, wonderful mess put onscreen since Terry Gilliam's Brazil."
The trailer is here:
and another extended sequence:
Should be glorious eye candy.
Update: Hidef trailer here.

Popular Desi Baby Names In the USA
The US Social Security Administration has released, on the eve of Mother's Day, their annual list of the top 1000 most popular baby names for the preceding year. Forget web searches and all that, this is what parents are actually naming their kids. In summary:
Emily has topped the list since 1996. Jacob has done so since 1999. Elizabeth returns to the top ten after a two year absence.
I was curious how many (if any) desi names made the list for 2007. So, I took a look and here's what I found on the boys' side:
510. Rohan
729. Arjun
749. Aditya
821. Nikhil
829. Samir
881. Pranav
958. Rishi
959. Arnav
Quite frankly, I was surprised to see so many. But perhaps if you think about proportions, 8 out of 1000 is 0.8%, roughly 1%, which is in line with the size of the desi diaspora in the USA. I'll have to look at the lists from previous years to see if there's been an uptick. One notable omission, as noted by the SSA themselves:
Although "American Idol's" Sanjaya did not influence this year's list, other young celebrities influenced the naming of American children.
Heh, heh. As for the girls, another surprise - I only found Maya at position 62. The other name that came close was Saniyah at 565. There were two others, "India" at 690 and "Karma" at 859 but those aren't names desi parents assign to their daughters, not that I've heard of anyway.
You can find the lists here.

CA Cash For Kal
In "Your lost cash just waiting for a reunion", San Jose Mercury News' Patty Fisher writes:
If you haven't checked the state's unclaimed property registry lately, you could be costing yourself some bucks. That utility deposit you didn't bother to get back when you moved, the safety deposit box you forgot to clean out, a gift certificate you didn't get around to using - they all could be listed at www.ClaimIt.ca.gov.
The database includes millions of names, and billions of unclaimed dollars. Even if yours isn't there, it's great fun to search. Clint Eastwood has $300 in salary coming from MGM Studios - probably a rounding error. Lindsay Lohan has an outstanding legal award of $1,559.80. Steve Jobs can claim a $120 from an insurance company and Larry Ellison has $59.30 coming from Hertz. My neighbors Judy and Richard are due more than $200 from various insurance claims and deposits.
Call me voyeuristic, call me a good samaritan, whatever, I couldn't resist the urge to see whether any California company owed any money to the desi diaspora's finest. Of course, first I had to try my own name. Nothing. No overlooked rent deposit or gift certificate. After that initial search, I tried putting in some of the brighter names in the desi firmament. And was surprised to see some actually come up. Here's what I found:
Deepak Chopra
The web site came up with a couple of hits. I ignored the fellow living in the Bay Area and picked the entries with the Palos Verdes address. Here's what I found:
That's right. Allstate owes $48 to Dr. Chopra. Somehow, I doubt he'll be rushing to collect it anytime soon, flush as he is.
Another entry was this:
What kind of court settlement? The good doctor has been in the courts a fair amount but this amount of money is piffle, barely enough to buy one or two of his hardbacks. What could it be? Neighbors playing Van Halen too loud perhaps? The mind boggles.
Vinod Khosla
These were all for prescription overpayments, the well known (and exceedingly well off) venture capitalist presumably not needing to bother with insurance co-payments like the rest of us mere mortals.
Kal Penn
Paydirt! Kal Penn is owed a cool $5K for his acting services. I know brother is living large what with Harold and Kumar doing boffo box office but I am sure this is still not chump change territory. Hey Kal, throw me a 10% finders fee when you claim the money, will ya? :-)

Hiroaki Tanaka,Magdalena Jackowska,: Slow Jogging : Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, and Have Fun with Science-Based, Natural Running
Running is America's most popular participatory sport, yet more than half of those who identify as runners get injured every year. Falling prey to injuries from overtraining, faulty form, poor eating, and improper footwear, many runners eventually, and reluctantly, abandon the sport for a less strenuous pastime. But for the first time in the United States, Hiroaki Tanaka's Slow Jogging demonstrates that there is an efficient, healthier, and pain-free approach to running for all ages and lifestyles. Tanaka's method of easy running, or "slow jogging," is an injury-free approach to running that helps participants burn calories, lose weight, and even reverse the effects of Type-2 diabetes. With easy-to-follow steps and colorful charts, Slow Jogging teaches runners to enjoy injury-free activity by: * Maintaining a smiling, or niko niko in Japanese, pace that is both easy and enjoyable * Landing on mid-foot, instead of on the heel * Choosing shoes with thin, flexible soles and no oversized heel * Aiming for a pace of 180 steps per minute * And trying to find time for activity every day Accessible to runners of all fitness levels and ages, Slow Jogging will inspire thousands more Americans to take up running and will change the way that avid runners hit the pavement.

I have had this for over a year and it is still in good condition I think it is a good investment for the price.
Popper bags
By Tenneill on Jul 20, 2017
I hang this on my puppy bag so I always have poppper bags with me. This is perfect
Good Holder, Marbling meh
By Wobblerite on Feb 19, 2017
This is a big improvement from the bag holder I had been using. Don't have to worry about end popping off if the leash is dropped. The marbling looks more like an error than marbling. It is utilitarian though so I'm not real hung up on its looks. It dispenses poop bags, how glamorous do you need it?
Sturdy and Easy
By Acorn on May 15, 2017
Absolutely love this! Makes life so much easier when taking out my pup with this bags on board bone dispenser. It even comes with a hook where we can just hang the waste bag without carrying it with our hands.
Great product

Great- works well and hooks right onto my dog's leash
Clasp is too small
By Gummi on Feb 21, 2017
I got this because of the design. However, the clasp that comes with is too small to attach on my Flexi tape dog leash.
Great for thin leashes.
By Prinny on Jan 8, 2017 Top 100 Contributor
Strong and sturdy, cute and pink, easy to attach and we got a winner. Carabiner fit perfectly onto a thin leash but could not fit onto a thicker leash and even then it was slightly difficult to attach. The Dookie Dock is sturdy and does its job well. I just wish the dispenser was true to the picture and come glossy. Instead, I got matte.
Not as user friendly as I'd like
By Cindy99 on Oct 17, 2016
This dispenser cracked after two weeks from hitting the pavement so it's taped up. The size of the dispenser hole is a little too small to make retrieving bags super easy and the size is larger than necessary. I would not buy again.

I love the color and I love how easy it is to fill

Acne is a curse not just because it makes you look bad, but also because it makes you feel bad. You can take control of your acne! There are ways you can go about making your skin clearer. Take a look at the tips below and see if one of them is the key to resolving your pimples issues.
Many people see no problem with popping pimples. If you can't break the habit, make sure you hands and nails are clean and free of dirt and bacteria. You should first try not to pop a pimple but if you must, do so responsibly.
One way you can help your acne is to try not wearing any makeup for a small amount of time, or change to makeup that is water based. Covering zits with cosmetics can clog up your pores. If you abstain, your pores should remain clean and clear.
The herbs in chamomile tea are a fantastic herbal remedy for acne. You can reduce swelling and redness from pimples by using a cool tea bag on the affected area.
Whenever possible, attempt to avoid situations that are apt to cause stress. Stress does not cause one to develop acne, but it can make it worse.
If you are constantly battling pimples, you should consider switching to all-natural skin care products. Sometimes the complex chemical ingredients in many products can aggravate your skin and worsen an pimples condition. This can lead to blocked pores, one cause of zits. Products that are natural tend to also have antibacterial agents in them, which helps heal your skin.
In order to treat pimples, you may want to consider taking zinc, since it reduces the chances of free radicals from forming under the skin. Cystic pimples sufferers interested in lessening facial lumpiness should take zinc everyday.
If you have access to a nearby pool, spend as much time swimming as possible. Swimming can relax your body and offers exercise, which is a great way to calm acne. Chlorine is known to soothe the skin and dry out your pimples as well.
Did you ever think that talking on a cell phone could cause an zits breakout? Cellular phones get the oil from your face and hair and deposit it back at your face. Use an alcohol dampened ball of cotton to clean your phone and remove the oils. When talking on your phone, you should hold the device an inch or so from your face.
One should avoid popping pimples and touching their face if they plan to improve their acne. This will reduce the amount of bacteria and oil that is transferred to your face from your hands. Do not pop a pimple, you may cause an infection.
Do you sometimes get the feeling that your pimples will be with you forever? Allergens, such as hay fever or mites can also cause skin problems. Finally, you should avoid stress wherever possible. Stress hormones can cause pimples problems too.
Blemish Stick
A blemish stick is one of the most effective methods for covering up the blemishes that are on your face. These sticks permit you finer accuracy for the troubled areas. Unlike regular concealer, blemish stick concealers are a bit thinner, helping your skin breathe more.
Steer clear of makeup containing oil. Oil-based makeup is generally heavy and can clog your pores. Oil-based makeup is a major cause of zits problems. When a product promotes itself as oil free, in actuality it may not be. These products can contain synthestics that will provoke a breakout.
If you are looking to reduce zits, be certain that your body is well hydrated. Make sure that you drink lots of water daily. The recommendation is to drink 6-8 glasses of water per day. This can block pores and cause pimples.
Removing sweat from your skin is a big help in fighting zits. Sweat will clog your pores, causing pimples. If you do an activity that causes you to excessively sweat it is important for you to take a shower immediately and wash off the sweat to prevent clogging your pores.
Yes, acne can be difficult to endure, but these tips can help you make a fresh start, get rid of pimples, and have the clear skin you really want. No one should have to suffer from acne and with the willingness to find out what works for you and try a few new things, you could discover exactly the skin solution you've been seeking.

There have been tons of rumors regarding this year's Apple iPhone. The Cupertino Company is expected to unveil a premium iPhone 8 to celebrate ten years of iPhone this year. According to rumors, Apple's premium iPhone 8 will be the first smartphone to sport an OLED display and a long-range wireless charging. The high-end iPhone model is expected to launch in September. However, it seems that we need to wait a little longer to get our hands on the new iPhone.
According to the latest sources, the iPhone 8 will be 3-4 weeks delayed. This matches with what we heard in previous rumors which claimed that Apple will push back the launch day of the iPhone 8 to October or November this year. The reason behind the delay is that Apple is still struggling to integrate the fingerprint sensor under the OLED display of the iPhone 8.
Apple has been heavily rumored to work through issues related to producing the fingerprint scanner that works under the display. Earlier this month, sources said that the iPhone 8 will end up dropping the fingerprint sensor, instead introducing another biometric measure solution to unlock the phone. Tech analysts say that Apple will opt for face recognition system to unlock the new iPhone. Other sources also claim that Apple will move the fingerprint scanner to the back of the phone, like how Samsung did with its Galaxy S8.
The premium iPhone 8 is also rumored to include support for AR. Sources today say that the premium model will feature a rear-facing 3D laser system that boosts the capabilities for AR features and rear shooter. Apple is believed to seek VCSEL components from Lumentum and Finisar. Apple has been sourcing iPhone components from a lot of suppliers worldwide. Samsung Display is now Apple's biggest supplier, as the South Korean firm is providing up to 90 million OLED panels for this year's iPhone models.

Probably one of the first things you'll notice at Hartel Veterinary Hospital is that we run a very small, tight office. I am the owner and veterinarian who you generally are going to see when you make an appointment. I have practiced veterinary medicine for over 30 years, since my graduation from Michigan State University in 1980.
I opened this office in 1985 and have continued at this location since then. I have two full time employees: Kathy Schneider, licensed veterinary technician and Amber Rathburn, the office manager and also a licensed veterinarian technician . Kathy has been with me since 1988 and Amber started in April of 2015. Those of you who know Karen realize we could never replace her when she retired, but Amber has risen to the occasion and brings a fresh outlook and attitude to our office; we are thrilled to have her here.
We are a little old fashioned here: we believe that phone calls are better answered by a person. When you call for an appointment, you will be talking to one of three individuals; Amber, Kathy or myself. We will give you answers to your questions; if we don't know, we will find out, and if we can't find out, we will recommend you to someone who hopefully can. We believe that a patient's medical condition can be followed extremely well by a small, dedicated staff who know the client and the patient by sight. If I do not feel I am capable of giving your pet the care it requires, I will never hesitate to recommend referral to a specialist. If you are just not happy with the progress your pet is making, I will be happy to arrange a referral at your request. We should be partners in your pet's health and everyone at this office strives to be just that.

If you have a dinner party coming up, you may need to think up some food ideas very quickly. There are hundreds of different recipes you can choose from, but what you settle on should be something appropriate, enjoyable, and easy enough to cook that there isn't a high chance of making an error. Here are a few things you should consider when you start planning your next dinner party.
Grilled Chicken Pineapple Sliders
Begin this recipe an hour early by whisking together lemon juice, lime juice, cider vinegar, and salt and pepper in a large bowl and then letting it cool in your refrigerator for an hour. Cook one-half of a skinless, boneless chicken breast half per guest on a lightly oiled grill, then marinate it in your sauce. Grill a pineapple slice for two to three minutes and add it to the top. You can also add lettuce, onions, or any other vegetables you desire to this simple and delicious slider.
Spring Chicken Stew
One of the advantages of a crock pot recipe is that you can prepare it at the beginning of the day and let it cook while you deal with other tasks. This recipe requires a large chicken, which you then need to joint. Place it in a casserole pan with three tablespoons of olive oil and any seasonings you like, then cook it for 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Add the seasoned chicken to your crock pot with six cloves of garlic, a large onion, a handful of asparagus spears, and a cup of fresh peas. Cook for at least 45 minutes, then remove the chicken from the bone. You can keep it hot using the crock pot until it is ready to serve.
Chicken Katsu
For a taste of a Japanese dish, take two halved chicken breast halves and tenderize them until they are about ¼ inch thick. Arrange three separate bowls with flour, a beaten egg, and Panko bread crumbs. Dip the chicken into the flour, then the egg, then the bread crumbs. Add it to a skillet with some coconut oil and cook until the meat is white all the way through.
When considering these and other recipes, keep your guests in mind. Arrange the meal to their tastes, and you will have a great dinner party.

Essential Questions:
What are the physical and human characteristics of place?
The significance of place—as a habitat, as a cultural foundation, and as a basis for stewardship—grounds the fifth grade curriculum. Fifth grade students take responsibility for the classroom recycling program across the campus as they consider the ways that individuals can impact their community. The year begins with ecological studies, highlighted by an overnight environmental study. The trip serves as a cornerstone for science and social studies, while also forging deeper connections among the students and their teachers.
With these experiences as a foundation, the class spends the rest of the year considering the factors that contribute to cultures and societies. In-depth units about ancient Egypt and Greece provide the framework for thoughtful conversations about rights, the common good, power, authority, and government. Students investigate artifacts and analyze myths to decipher cultural values. They write and perform plays based on the mythological themes and characters. They consider laws and social practices that continue to influence civilizations today, gaining a historical perspective on contemporary issues.
Fifth graders meet three periods per six-day cycle with a science teacher in the Lower School discovery room. During the fall, student activities revolve around ecology; the interactions among living organisms and between organisms and their physical environment. The curriculum supports and expands science and social studies topics led by the fifth grade teachers in the classroom, as well as those that take place on field trips to a salt marsh and at the three-day trip to Deer Lake.
Using a hands-on inquiry approach, students explore basic concepts and methods in environmental field and lab science. The role of light in photosynthesis and the energy flow of ecosystems serve as key concepts that connect units of study during the first term. Most investigations begin with the observation and manipulation of materials and the generation of testable questions. Some examples of student activities include making observations of interactions between living and non-living things, and of the interactions of plants and animals. Fifth graders gain first-hand knowledge about identification, ecology, and life cycles of trees through a close study of the trees on the Foote campus. Field and lab work includes a tree census, tree ring analysis, viewing extracted tree core with a microscope, and estimating heights. Indoors and outside, students explore leaf and cell structure, organelles and choroplasts. They experiment with chromatography after extracting chlorophyll and other pigments from leaves. We also discuss and examine the critical role of plants in the carbon cycle and the impact of deforestation and climate change.
During the second term, major topics include energy changes, light, heat, and electromagnetism. The transmission, reflection, and refraction of light are explored through inquiry and a series of hands-on investigations. Students generate questions, isolate and manipulate variables, and then analyze and compare their data. Activities include generating electricity by friction, generators, and photovoltaic cells. The year culminates with students designing and building solar ovens. This project incorporates many STEM skills and allows students to be both imaginative and systematic as they engineer environmentally friendly ways of heating and cooking food, keeping detailed written records of their work.
In fifth grade, students solidify their understanding of operational procedures and whole number values. A focal point of the curriculum centers on ensuring that answers are reasonable; students engage in estimation and critical thinking to determine whether their solutions make sense. Problems are frequently based on real-world situations, in order to give students a greater sense of the connection between the skills they are learning and their daily lives. Much of the year is spent working with values beyond whole numbers, as students gain facility in manipulating decimals and fractions. They also solve problems with positive and negative integers and bases other than 10. Computational problems often involve multiple types of arithmetic, challenging students to remember the order of operations and to keep their work organized. In connection with their studies of ancient cultures, our fifth graders learn about Greek, Roman, and Egyptian number systems and the ways that early civilizations used math. Geometric explorations include two- and three-dimensional figures, measurements, and formulas for calculating lengths, areas, and sizes. Students analyze and depict data and learn how to show relationships among numbers in multiple graphic forms.
Reading and writing represent the core of the entire fifth grade program and integrate with all areas of study. Formal and individualized instruction in mechanics includes use of capitals, complete sentences, and paragraphing. Spelling, vocabulary, and grammar programs complement the English curriculum. A great deal of time is devoted to helping children experience both the written and spoken word with a sense of adventure, excitement, appreciation, and comfort. Two books are always in motion. One is read aloud and leads to extensive discussions of detail, style, and theme. The other is undertaken as a class book. A variety of comprehension activities encourage reading with a purpose, interpretation, and clarity of detail in student responses. Students are involved with writing on a daily basis. While some of the process writing of earlier grades is continued, more time is devoted to the refinement of individual style through a variety of approaches that differ in scope, duration, and length. Emphasis is placed on rewriting entire stories to improve fluidity, dialogue, setting and character development, as well as the overall plot. Students experiment with a number of literary genres including poetry, drama and fiction. During the ancient cultures unit, students write their own myths, incorporating elements of that classic style into their work. Students learn how to express their opinions using persuasive writing. Most writing is shared in class and discussed.
In fifth-grade Chinese class, listening and speaking continue to emphasized, but reading and writing now play an equally important part in class meetings. Students are expected to keep a notebook on the content that is introduced in class. They also work with individual flashcards to reinforce sight word recognition. Many activities and games are designed for students to use the four skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing). Vocabulary and units of study focus on communities. Students learn to talk about professions, place of residence, physical appearance, rooms and furniture. Students are expected to present for others in class, and learn from each other in group activities.
Students are expected to know the basics of writing Chinese characters. They also learn about the etymology of many Chinese characters to help with their sight word recognition. Quizlets and the SmartBoard are frequently used to facilitate instruction and provide student-centered in-class activities.
A STEM unit is typically incorporated into the fifth grade. It usually includes a survey, and students express their results in the form of a chart. The unit wraps up in a bar graph project, with the students graphing their findings.
Pinyin is now used more consistently to aid students' learning or pronunciation and tones. Online resources are provided for those who would like to reinforce classroom learning at home.
Continuing the aural/oral training begun in fourth grade, students acquire more vocabulary and grammatical structures as a natural extension of their desire to communicate in French, whether through a game, solving a puzzle or participating in an activity with a friend. While the main emphasis in this program remains aura/oral, there is a written component as well. Activities are supplemented by nursery rhymes, videos, dialogues, puppets and songs. Topics include sports, professions, days of the week, animals, numbers, adjectives, the verbs "Avoir" and "être", and simple negation. Special projects include baguette making and celebrating Mardi Gras.
The fifth grade Spanish course makes use of the Descubre el Español series. Students learn Spanish through conversation, cultural activities, and games. Workbook exercises parallel aural/oral activities as writing increases in importance. Topics can include greetings and introductions, descriptions, the verb ser, cognates, gender/number agreement, clothing, colors, sports and activities, shopping, places and activities in the community, the verb estar, school and classes, telling time, days of the week, months of the year, and question words. Students learn about the culture of several Spanish-speaking countries, including Bolivia, Spain and Mexico. Cultural activities can include making maps, writing postcards, and making masks for the Day of the Dead.
Students in third through fifth grade continue to build foundational skills using a variety of media. Most of their projects are designed to complement the curriculum in science, literature, and social studies: inventor sculptures, arabesque pillows, clay candle houses (a highlight of the fourth grade!) environmental painting and representations of the natural world, Egyptian and Greek arts are a few of the beautiful works our students produce during these years.
At Foote, we believe in nurturing our students' physical health and growth as well as their academic progress. With that philosophy as a guiding force, our physical education program is designed to support students' self-image, build sportsmanship, and provide a basis for a healthy lifelong attitude toward fitness. Our curriculum is carefully sequenced to match the stages of physical, social, and emotional development from year to year. In addition to athletic skills, our program encourages creative expression, builds social concepts such as sportsmanship, cooperation, and fair play, offers opportunities for leadership, encourages children to take risks, and fosters a sense of well-being in a non-competitive setting.
All children at Foote School are members of either the Maroon or Grey sports teams. Spirit is high on our annual Field Day, when students participate in a variety of fun and competitive events between the Maroon and the Grey. Kindergarteners take part only in the morning, competing in a fun run, a scoop relay, and a shuttle relay. All the other students participate in a full day of events, culminating in an all-school relay race around the entire field, featuring the day's winners of the 60-yard dash from each grade.
The Lower School physical education program provides opportunities for students to express themselves through movement. In the primary grades, classes focus on fine and gross motor skills, balance, spatial awareness, flexibility, endurance, strength and coordination. Activities are lively and fun, making use of a wide variety of equipment, ranging from bean bags to beach balls, whiffle bats, scoops, and foam paddles.
Competition is kept to a minimum and cooperative games are included in most lessons. The 3rd-5th grade program encourages students to build endurance through a gradually increasing running challenge, which culminates in a one-mile run. Also in these later elementary grades, team sports are introduced, along with the concept of rules and sport-specific skills.
In Kindergarten through fifth grade, all three sections of the class participate in gym together, allowing the teachers to divide the group into different configurations. Third through fifth have gym four times in each cycle.
