Interesting. Is this model in common usage elsewhere (i.e., relying on a namespace specification to indicate documentation repositories)? I've personally never come across it in other programming languages, but then again, I obviously haven't used all of the languages out there... (and I'm guessing that the Java org.ocaml.etc hierarchy doesn't fulfill this requirement?) - jeff -- The river is moving.

Engineering New Materials
Materials engineering as a field is responsible for high-performance materials. New materials developed by materials engineers lead to new technologies in civil, aeronautical, agricultural, mechanical, and electrical engineering, among other fields.
Materials engineers study properties of a material in regards to its structure at all levels, down to individual atoms and the atomic structure. With this knowledge, a materials engineer knows how the material will be affected by the processing of the material. This can include bending, twisting, shaping and machining.
Related Fields
Materials engineering is directly related to materials science, which is why many schools include both fields in a degree program's curriculum. Materials science grew out of solid-state physics, metallurgy, ceramics and chemistry. This makes materials engineering important to fields such as:
- Electronics
- Aerospace
- Telecommunications
- Information processing
- Nuclear power
- Energy conversion
Practical Applications
Materials engineering isn't just developing new nanoparticles and polymers. Materials engineering has applications that benefit everyday life:
- Analyzing product failure data and developing solutions
- Monitoring material performance in evaluating material deterioration
- Designing and directing the testing of processing procedure
- Evaluating technical specifications and economic factors
- Problem-solving in other engineering fields

Acid attacks: 264 incidents in three years across Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge
PUBLISHED: 12:11 11 January 2018 | UPDATED: 12:11 11 January 2018
There were 264 acid attacks carried out across Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge in the last three years, new figures have shown.
Metropolitan Police data shows that between January 2015 and October 2017 there were 264 violent offences involving corrosive fluids in the East Area Borough Command Unit region, which consists of the three boroughs.
Of these, 67 were committed in 2015, 108 in 2016 and 89 in the first 10 months of 2017.
The figures, obtained by Conservative London Assembly member Steve O'Connell, found that Newham had the most acid attacks in that period, with 289, while Tower Hamlets was next with 98 incidents.
It also revealed that across the capital, the number of violent offences involving a corrosive fluid rose from 260 in 2015 to 429 in the first 10 months of last year.
But only 19 per cent of offences committed in 2017 have resulted in a charge, down from 25pc in 2015.
Additionally, no suspect was even identified in 37pc of last year's incidents.
It also revealed that younger people are most likely to be a victim, with more than half being between the ages of 10 and 29. Victims were also found to be predominantly white European or African Caribbean.
The suspects, meanwhile, are predominantly male – 70pc – with just 3pc female and police unsure of the gender of 27pc.
They, too, are most likely to be younger, with 45pc of suspects last year falling within the 10-19 age bracket.
Mr O'Connell, the Greater London Assembly's spokesman for policing and crime, said: "What these figures do is paint a clear and disturbing picture of the scale and circumstance of these horrific offences.
"This data suggests that acid attacks, as with knife crime, are a youth-related issue. If we are going to get serious about preventing this rise we need to tackle the root causes of these attacks."

Delinquent's Spice
Delinquent's Spice focuses on hybridising lesser known folk and fairy-tale types. These tales are connected to each other, thus creating the basis for the hypertext fairytale project. Each issue will feature an article and two stories, although some issues may feature both poetry and fiction, depending on the season or issue. Each issue features a single folk/fairytale type. DS originated as a Cabinet des Fees micro-publication but is now hosted on our own domain as an independent publication. DS was always my creation and a labour of love, although I received a lot of help and guidance along the way. But ultimately, it was the vision of a hybrid, non-firstworld Woman of Colour (WOC). Why do I state this? I do it because I cannot stress enough why inclusiveness is at the heart of this project and the fact that this project was always meant to create an avenue for retelling folk and fairytales that were lesser known, by writers who were lesser known or marginalised in the genre.
Delinquent's Spice asks for creative revisions of said type that remains true to the essence of the tale — if you read the stories that have been accepted you will notice that each writer has managed to incorporate the prompts creatively within their re-tellings of each story, and that each story connects well to the previous tale. We are not looking for loose, barely-there interpretations which feature just a single motif or element from the tale. The featured folk/fairytale type IS the highlight of each issue.
This is a collaborative, creative effort. Every volume will have its own set of prompts — the intention is to create a web of fairytales that stresses on diversity, hybridity, inclusion and of the merging of boundaries, based on the principle all storytellers understand:
Sometimes, the best truths are found in fiction.
You may click here to read the original essay that spells out the reasons and basis behind this fairytale project. The original essay has been revised to accommodate the changes that have happened here at DS, but the ethos remains unchanged. Following from this, you may click here to read the Submissions Guidelines for Delinquent's Spice.
Protip: The individual guidelines for each Issue as well as general guidelines for the entire project are equally important!
I hope you will join us on this storytelling journey, bringing with you a steadfast heart, a sturdy pair of magical shoes, and the spirit of derring-do that is at the heart of this project.

Mikati 1, Lebanon 0.
Score one for Najib Mikati. He has managed to present a cabinet after almost five months of discussions that at a first glance saves his political future. Mr. Mikati has been able to restore a measure of respectability among his Sunni community in general but has won over the support of his fellow Tripolitans in particular. How could they oppose a cabinet whose head is from Tripoli in addition to two Karami family members (each representing an opposite side) and Mohammad Safadi? I only wish that Mr. Mikati's survival instinct had not been achieved at the expense of Lebanon. Unfortunately in the calculus of Mr. Mikati personal good trumps general welfare instead of the reverse.
It must be clear that a self made billionaire who was elected to the Lebanese parliament on a ticket supported by March 14 does not have any major differences with the political views or the political beliefs of March 14. He probably has personal differences with the current leader of March 14, Sa'ad Hariri, and that is understandable. But to allow his political ambitions to make him act as an unprincipled politician who is ready to jump ship for the sake of personal gain is unfortunate and disappointing. It is apparent that Najib Mikati, his protestations notwithstanding, has been driven all throughout this period by promoting only his narrow self interest.
Lebanon, at this stage of its political life, could have used best a cabinet that is efficient, competent and effective. An easy and painless step in that direction would have been to stop the silliness of appointing ministers without portfolios. These are totally uncalled for, those appointed to such positions have nothing to do; no bureaucracy to run no projects to undertake and produce no outcomes to be measured by. Ministers with no portfolios simply make governance more complicated dn add to the fiscal burden of the state. The idea is the embodiment of nothing but waste and potential for corruption. The next easy and needed change in cabinet formation is the need to eliminate many and possibly all the cabinets with an annual budget of under $20 million. Can anyone come up with a reasonable scenario of what can be accomplished by a ministry whose annual budget is $ 8 million? Once the fixed costs and the salaries are paid what is it that is left over at the Ministry of the Environment? Enough to print a brochure? This is not to suggest that environmental issues are not important. They are. But does it do the environment any good to appoint a minister without appropriating adequate funds to do the job? If the means to perform a specific task are not available then why the pretense? May I suggest that under such circumstances it would be far better, and more efficient to have such areas set up either as an independent agency or simply as a division of another ministry? But the single most important thing that Mr. Mikati could have done from the first week was to form a cabinet of qualified, independent technocrats whose only aim is to strengthen democratic institutions and build democracy. That is what Lebanon needs. We need a cabinet to come up with a credible plan about how to handle the sovereign debt, create jobs, collect taxes, enforce the law and protect individual human rights.
Instead of the above cabinet, which would have been revolutionary and which would have forced all sides to reevaluate and rethink their political position Mr. Mikati chose to give us more of the same. He gave us a cabinet that is built on the same old fashioned narrow principles that have resulted in all the standoffs and inefficiencies that the country suffers from.
Then there is the question of timing? Did he really need five months in order to come up with the same tired formula or were there other forces at work? Was it only a coincidence that the cabinet was finally formed essentially to favour HA's allies at the expense of the president only when Damascus telephoned Babda'a? And what about the ever present STL indictments? The threat of these indictments seems to have shaped all Lebanese politics for the past five years. Could it be that Mr. Mikati does not want to be in charge when the indictments are issues? I guess time will tell but if the new cabinet fails to issue a ministerial statement and seek a vote of confidence prior to the release of the indictments that are expected during the first week of July then that would lend more credence to the argument that Mr. Mikati and the president caved in when they did in order to have a different care taker government whereby the ministries of Defense and Interior are under different control. Pity Lebanon, a nation that has no say in the formation of its cabinet and who's PM has wasted an opportunity to help himself and help the country.

Although I doubted that M8 ,and especially HA , were interested in forming a government, I think that the developments in Syria had a lot to do with the sudden government formation. The fact as you pointed out that defense and interior posts were taken by two Syrian allies makes it clear that this government is here to deal with Syria's revolution more than Lebanese issues.
You are absolutely right that the president caved in to Syrian pressure, and Mikati was driven by his self interest. That should not be surprising for Lebanese politicians or self made billionaires. This is Lebanon after all.
Although HA designed the whole cabinet, it does not necessarily have a HA stamp, since the biggest winners are Aoun and Mikati.
The fact that Tripoli was lucky enough to take most Sunni seats, this will bring back the old traditional rivalry between Tripoli and Beirut. Hariri can not be happy with that.

Where is Harir? :-0 Even when there were no major problems he was constantly travelling from one pcountry to another. Most of the travels struck me as being superflous. It was as if he was trying to avoid having to deal with the responsibilities associated with the office of the PM.
The funny thing though, as you have suspected, is that he will be reelected and would still be considered a pillar of Lebanese politics. I admit that modern campaigns require deep pockets but hell i would have expected some level of engagement by the pol is also required. Are we electing a bank account? It sure looks like it :-)

Pistons and rods
Right now I have my 1998 SOHC engine tuned for 7 psi on my 60trim turbo. Im still running a stock internaled engine. I dont plan on turning the boost up or anything, I just want a little more holding capacity out of my bottom end. I was reading up on Keith Black hyperutectic pistons. They claim to be stronger than other hyperutectic pistons on the market. Would these pistons with cryotreated rods, and arp rod cap bolts give me a little bit stronger bottom end?
If you're going to take the time to rebuild the bottom end, do it right. If you just want a little extra assurance until you can afford forged parts, get the ARP cap screws and call it a day.

I'm in a romance-y frame of mind (must be the warm weather), so bear with me if my post seems to focus a bit more on that theme.
Those grand gestures are all fine & good, but it's the little things that make us (and our heroines) fall in love with the hero.
To prove my point, I've borrowed examples from a couple movies I'm sure most of us have seen before:
Jane and Kevin can barely stand each other, until one little song plays on the jukebox in a dive bar out in the middle of nowhere. Next thing you know, they're dancing on the bar and getting hot & steamy in the backseat of his car. Who knew "Benny & The Jets" karaoke could provide the spark for true love?

Bottom line, it's all the little unique pieces of someone that make us fall in love with them. Don't forget to add those things into your stories. We tend to fall in love in fragments, which means our characters should too.

Thinking of Buying Winter Tires?
Don't forget to have a look at the APA's 2011-2012 Winter Tire Reviews.
2014 Mazda 6 GT
The large five-point grille is a Mazda design signature shared with other models.
Observed fuel consumption
Long, low, clean lines make for a sleek silhouette. A steeply-raked windshield and small windows make the 6 appear lower than it is, but also hamper outward vision, further obscured by the wide centre pillar
The 2014 Mazda 6 is the third-generation of the model that replaced the 626 at the end of 2002. Unlike the last 6, which was a unique model built in the U.S. for North America, the newest 6 is assembled in Japan and only one version of the platform will be sold worldwide.
The 6 is a D-Segment midsize car that competes with vehicles like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. The Chevrolet Malibu, Ford Fusion, Accord and Altima were all redesigned for 2013, so it will face some serious competition.
The Mazda 6 is stylish in a segment known for for offering bland vehicles for the North American market . The 6 is fronted by a tall, very vertical grille flanked by swept-back headlights. The chrome trim, which surrounds the grille and extends to the leading edge of the headlights, is a neat styling touch. The 6 looks long, which it is, but also low, which it isn't. Only half an inch lower than the Honda Accord, the 6's low-slung look is an optical illusion created by the steeply-raked windshield pillars, tall body sides and diminutive windows. With clean lines and very little adornment, it is a shape that should age well. Panel fit and paint finish were very good.
Crisp, clear gauges. The gauge on the right is part of the accurate trip computer and can display a number of different read-outs including easy-to-use instant and average fuel consumption monitors.
Two four-cylinder engines have been announced -- the gasoline four tested here, and a 2L diesel. As with several other automakers, Mazda dropped the V6, and no high performance MazdaSpeed turbo four appears to be in the works. The 2.5L direct-injection four cylinder gas engine is shared with the CX-5 compact sport utility vehicle. Apart from a diesel-like clatter at idle (partially due to a high 13 to 1 compression ratio), the big four is smooth, quiet and has a sporting rasp when pressed hard. Good power, flexibility and well-chosen gears mean the engine doesn't have to work too hard to deliver results.
Mazda Skyactive system employs a high compression ratio for power production and fuel efficiency in conjunction with special fuel injectors, pistons with deep recesses to improve torque and works in concert with an elaborate four-into-two-into-one long branch exhaust system and a short combustion duration to eliminate engine knocking such a high compression ratio generally promotes. Mazda also notes that reduced internal friction and lighter internal components also promotes fuel efficiency. Fuel economy appears to be depdendent on ambient temperature. Two different 6s in two different cities consumed roughly 12L/100 km in winter conditions but a subsequent car tested in Montreal during the spring was, at around 8L/100 km overall, much more frugal than the first two cars, but used more fuel than the 7.6L/100 km city and 5.1L/100 km highway mileage figures advertised by Mazda. Mazda claim that Skyactive also encompasses a lightening process throughout the car which bears witness as the 6 weighs about 72 kilograms (150 lbs.) less than a Honda Accord Touring with automatic transmission.
The six-speed automatic transmission upshifts to the highest possible gear early in order to favour low fuel consumption in economy tests; it does so smoothly and downshifts promptly enough when needed. High gearing permits relaxed cruising, but there was a slight exhaust boom at around 120 kilometres-per-hour.
The electric power steering is precise, but lacks any meaningful feedback which prevents the driver from confidently exploring the capabilities of the 6's able chassis. Turn in is crisp on our test GT shod with 19 inch wheels and low-profile tires, and the ride is resiliently firm with no trace of harshness. The 6 feels planted and confident at highway speeds, even in windy conditions. However, this new 6 isn't as fun or engaging to drive as either the last 6 or the first-generation 6.
APA tester opinions were mixed on their opinions on the 6's braking. While the brakes function very well, some APA testers thought the brakes had good feel and weighting and others who dismissed them as being grabby with non-linear response.
On the highway, the 6 exhibits significant levels of wind noise emanating from the windshield pillars and while there is little tire or suspension noise, the sound of road debris like road salt and grit pinging off the underside of the car is intrusively loud.
Our test GT was equipped with the Technology package (includes radar cruise control, forward object detection and a lane departure warning). The radar cruise control is very well thought out. The driver selects a speed to be maintained and can also pick a following distance to be sustained as well. If a vehicle in front is moving slower than the Mazda 6 driver picked, the car will slow imperceptibly to maintain the distance selected, however, if the 6 driver changes lanes to one that is unobstructed, the car will speed up to the velocity initially selected. If the 6 is moving too quickly in relation to the speed of the car ahead, or if another car changes lanes in front of the 6, consuming the selected following distance, the 6 will brake autonomously to maintain the desired distance between it and the car ahead.
Mazda's i-ELOOP Smart City system, which uses regenerative braking to store power in capacitors to help run some electrical components, part of the GT Technology package our test car was equipped with, was totally transparent in its operation.
With steeply-raked windshield pillars, small side windows, massive centre pillars and a high trunk line, the 6 suffers from limited outward vision.
The driver faces an instrument panel inhabited by a trio of large, clearly-marked gauges. While not adventurous, the 6's dashboard is classically elegant and is stocked with simple, logical controls that move with a smooth precision.
The 6's front seats are large, firmly padded and initially welcoming, but some APA drivers found them uncomfortable after a few hours. Front seat legroom is adequate, but the cabin is narrow for this type of car. The rear seat itself is supportive, but legroom is very tight on the new 6, tighter than any other car in its class except for the similarly-afflicted Chevrolet Malibu. In fact, the 6 offers little more cabin space than a Honda Civic or Hyundai Elantra, which renders the purchase of such a large car pointless. The 6 has a longer wheelbase and is longer overall than the Honda Accord, but the Accord trumps the 6 mightily in terms for cabin space.
With abundant soft-touch surfaces, matte finishes, glossy piano black and superb faux alloy accents, the 6's carefully constructed cabin is one of the most luxurious in the midsize class.
The 6's climate control easily coped with cold weather during the test and the seat heaters warmed quickly.
The name-brand audio equipment provided only mediocre sounds but the Tom Tom navigation system, while having poor graphics and map detail, was easy to use and directed the driver precisely and accurately. The BMW iDrive-style console-mounted rotary controller functioned very well.
With only bottle holders in the doors, oddments storage in the 6 is inadequate.
The 6's trunk is wide and long, but shallow, limiting true volume, and the short trunk lid made loading the trunk a more involved task than it would be on a car greater space between the rear window and the end of the trunk.
The active cruise control allows the driver to pick cruising speed and the desired distance from the car being followed
The classically simple, highly-functional dashboard of the Mazda 6
Simple, straightforward controls move with precision
The GS and GT trim upgrades as well as the GS Luxury package are all very good value. The GT Technology package represents a lot of technology for the money. Containing much of the GT's features for a lower price, the GS with the Luxury package is the best value of the lineup.
Mazda is offering very good lease terms on the 6. Compared with the Honda Accord Touring (which does lack the Mazda's radar cruise control), the 6 GT with the Technology package is roughly $2600 more expensive than that of a Honda Accord Touring and generates higher monthly payments for leasing and financing. A Mazda 6 GX with automatic transmission is priced roughly $500 more than an Accord LX sedan, but lacks the Honda's rearview camera and power driver's seat. The Honda is significantly cheaper to lease but generates a similar finance payment. The Accord will have better resale value than the Mazda.
A steeply-raked windshield pillar, small window and large mirror conspire to reduce visibility
Three-year/80,000 km bumper to bumper warranty, five years/100,000 km on the powertrain. The 2.3L version of Mazda's MZR engine series suffered from connecting rod failure and excess oil consumption, it is unknown whether Mazda has corrected these problems in the related 2.5L four used in the 6. Mazda's Skyactive system is unproven. An extended warranty from Mazda Canada is recommended.
The 6 is equipped with dual front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags and side-curtain airbags. The 2014 6 was rated Good in the frontal, side, rear and roof strength tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and Acceptable in the IIHS slight frontal offset test. The 2014 6 has not been tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the United States.
The trunk is wide and long, but shallow. Trunk hinges move in dedicated slots and won't crush luggage as the trunk is closed
Rear seats fold flat to create a level load floor. Thick rubber mat is a dealer-installed accessory
Short trunk lid makes loading awkward
Skyactive technology proved less fuel efficient than anticipated
Three-quarter rear view of the elegant Mazda 6
Strong points on the Mazda 6 include attractive styling, nicely executed controls and displays, acceptable refinement and a more precise driving feel than some of itts competitors. However, the poor space efficiency of the new 6 provides compact cabin space in a midsize format, undermining the reason for buying a bigger car. In addition, the longevity of Mazda's 2.5L four is unknown, the technology of the Skyactive system is unproven and depreciation is likely to be higher than offerings from Toyota and Honda.

I have been living in the worlds of tatting and watercolor simultaneously recently...Not two very related topics I know ! But I am trying to make it work :)
Having said that, I didn't quite succeeded in the tatting pattern I was working on. It was going very well until the very last part where I joined two ends of the tatting earlier than I should. I love the pattern though. You can find it here. I am very sad that I ruined it with carelessness. I might come back to it again and re-tat it..
But the watercolor attempt was a success. I came up with the design and color myself. I like to draw several copies of it and experiment different shades and coloring on it.

Deep creases appear beside the mouth, the jaw line slackens and becomes jowly, and the neck develops loose folds and fat deposits. Facelifts counteract these signs of aging by tightening muscle, removing fat, and trimming excess skin, giving your face a fresher, youthful look. After surgery, some patients look 10-15 years younger.
What can a facelift do for me?
Facelifts, technically known as rhytidectomies (literally, "removal of wrinkles"), rejuvenate the mid- to lower face and neck. Facelifts are most effective for patients who want to correct:
- Midface sagging
- Deep creases under the eyes
- Deep creases between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
- Jowls due to loss of muscle
- Sagging areas of fat
- Loose skin and fat under the chin and jaw
What won't a facelift correct?
Facelifts can produce a dramatic improvement in appearance for patients with the problems mentioned above. However, facelifts do not stop the aging process; in time, signs of aging will gradually appear once again.
It just turns the clock back, allowing aging to progress more gracefully. Facelifts can be performed in conjunction with browlift and eyelid surgery when appropriate.
Am I a good candidate for a facelift?
The best candidates for rhytidectomy:
- Wish to improve one or more of the signs of aging indicated above
- Are men or women whose faces have begun to sag, but whose skin still has some elasticity
- Are generally healthy
- Do not smoke
- Have realistic expectations
- Are considering a facelift for personal reasons, not because someone else is pressuring them to do so
Traditional Facelift
The "full" facelift for rejuvenating the face, jowls and neck, including fat sculpting, lifting and repositioning of muscle and deeper tissues, and skin trimming and redraping. The incision begins at the temples and travels down to the front of the ear, around the earlobe, and behind the ear to the lower scalp at the hairline. Sometimes, another incision is made under the chin.
Limited-incision Facelift
For limited rejuvenation around the eyes and mouth, including nasolabial folds an other deep creases. Short incisions are made at the temples and around the ear, and possibly in the lower eyelids and/or under the upper lip as well.
Neck lift
A neck lift concentrates on jowls, loose skin on the neck, and fat under the chin. The incision is made around the ear lobe and behind the ear to the lower scalp.
However, neck prominences, such as "turkey gobbler deformity," may require only an incision under the chin.
What is recovery from facelift like?
After your facelift, your head may be wrapped up like a human Q-tip for a short period of time.
At first, you may experience swelling, numbness, bruising, and a feeling of tightness or tension in the face and neck. Your face may look uneven or distorted, and your facial muscles may feel stiff. Most of these usually resolve within 3-6 weeks, and sensation typically returns to normal within a few months. Scars become less red, raised, lumpy or itchy in time.
Many patients return to work by the third week. Camouflage cosmetics can be used to minimize the appearance of bruising.

Specifically, we're talking about the biggest video games, movies, tv shows, and music from the year. We just start off talking about dicks, Zach completely screws up reading something off the paper in front of him, Shawn and Jonathan fess up to their man-crushes on Stephen Amell, Nicci serenades us with her favorite Imagine Dragons tune, and we kinda sorta but not really at all make resolutions for the New Year.

Tara is under construction
Bri always has a project up her sleeve. She won the Tara mansion and now is hard pressed to find time and lindens to furnish it. It is huge and is sooo hard to find furniture and landscaping that are from the period (especially since SL is only like 6 years old ). The most fun though is thinking about the party I already know who I want to play for the opening Waylon and JohnnyJ - but at the rate I am building it will not be finished til this time next year.

wants to change the world — one brush stroke at a time.
Called an "artistic genius" by The Discovery Channel, de Forest's artistic talent first emerged when she was just 5 years old.
"One day my dad was staining some wood in the garage and I came out and asked if I could mess around," said de Forest. "I got a canvas and started messing around with the wood and paint and I realized how fun it was."
She also realized she was good at it.
"I'm self-taught. It's from the heart," she said.
From one conversation with the Las Vegas resident, it's easy to see just how much heart de Forest has. Committed to arts education, de Forest wants all children to have the opportunity to excel at whatever they're passionate about.
"I want to inspire kids to do what they want to do," she said. "Not all kids are going to be artists. You can't expect every kid to be a great artist, but you can explore anything you want."
And de Forest is doing just that. The young artist's works have been sold to collectors worldwide, some fetching a whopping $25,000. And for the first time ever, her works will be on view at a solo show, "Child Prodigy: A diverse collection of artwork by Autumn de Forest" at Ocean Galleries in Stone Harbor, Aug. 3 through 5, something she's really excited about.
"I'm ecstatic!" she said.
She will also be on hand — at the gallery in Stone Harbor — to sign artwork purchased by her fans. She's not nervous to meet her admirers at all, she said. In fact, she really enjoys getting to know the people who appreciate her works.
De Forest was the youngest artist to be featured at the National Art Education Association's annual convention — she appeared alongside legendary artists Peter Max and Chuck Close. She has also been interviewed on TV by Matt Lauer on "The Today Show," has been profiled on the Discovery Channel and featured on TV shows on ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC News.
Despite being in the spotlight — a lot — de Forest said she never gets "stage fright."
"I've always loved the audience and I get really excited in a good way," she said. "I try to think positive."
It was that very optimism that drew Ocean Galleries owner Kim Miller to the young artist.
"We had heard about Autumn and seen several YouTube videos featuring her, but we were still amazed the first time we had the opportunity to speak and see her artwork," said Miller. "She is so poised, incredibly smart and genuinely obsessed with painting. Yet, she recognizes that there is so much more to her art — it is a way to communicate and connect to people."
For her first solo gallery show, de Forest will unveil a new painting called "Americana (Healing Flag)" which depicts "the Betsy Ross flag with circular stars," de Forest said.
The exhibition will also feature more than 100 of de Forest's original pieces, many seashore-themed painted specifically for her very first visit to Stone Harbor.
"I've never been to the Jersey Shore," she said. "I'm really honored to be there in Stone Harbor and I'm really excited to see the beach there."
If you go: "Child Prodigy: A diverse collection of artwork by Autumn de Forest" exhibition opens at Ocean Galleries, 9618 Third Ave., Stone Harbor, Friday, Aug. 3 running through Sunday, Aug. 5. De Forest will be at the gallery on Friday, Aug. 3 and Saturday, Aug. 4 from 7 to 10 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. The exhibit is free and open to the public. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily throughout the summer season.

By Matt O'Bryant & Aric Sweeny
Well it looks like Warner Brother's upcoming Suicide Squad film is about to get a whole lot funnier! This is according to Devin Faraci of Birth.Movies.Death., who revealed earlier today that a source of his told him something very "surprising".
"the trailer for Suicide Squad, the one with the Queen song, did not represent the film as it then existed. "Every joke in the movie is in that trailer,"
Faraci than went on to reveal that he did some more digging, and found out that there are "reshoots happening right now, big reshoots, big as in tens of millions of dollars big, that they're adding more humor and lightness into the film."
In light of the recent criticisms of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice being 'too dark and not funny enough', Warner Bros. was bound to make some changes to their upcoming films. Not to mention the overwhelming success of 20th Century Fox's light hearted R-rated Deadpool.
Also, along with BMD's report, the scoop master himself, El Mayimbe, also took to Twitter to confirm the reports.
Very true. Shooting on the Paramount lot. https://t.co/pojPqTRmFE— Umberto Gonzalez (@elmayimbe) March 31, 2016
What are your thoughts on these reshoots? Should Suicide Squad be filled with humor, or have a dark tone? Comment down below and let us know.
Suicide Squad is set to hit theaters on August 5th.

This post is sponsored by PotatoesUSA. Thank you for supporting posts like this that allow me to keep running this site. As always, all opinions are my own and I only write about products I believe in.
I remember a few years ago watching a commercial on television with Denise Austin – a fitness leader who was talking about the benefits of potatoes. Wait. What? I thought potatoes were bad for you if you were trying to lose weight? The answer to that is no – and here's why.
I absolutely love potatoes. My favorite way to eat them is roasted or baked. I don't add a lot of extra ingredients when I make them. Roasted is the easiest way – simply dice them, sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper and then roast in the oven for about 20 minutes.
What happens is you get the most amazing flavor ever. And don't skip the peel. Leave it on because the peel has nutrients just like the potato itself.
The Real Truth About Potatoes
Potatoes are so tasty, nutritious and convenient, too.
A medium (5.3 ounce) skin-on potato contains only 110 calories, more potassium than a banana (with the skin) and zero fat, sodium or cholesterol, more potassium than a banana (with the skin) and zero fat, sodium or cholesterol.
Think about those calories as healthy bursts of energy and the carbs and potassium are needed for when you need a boost of clarity or energy.
Potatoes also taste amazing and come in many forms like russets, reds, yellows, whites, purples, petites and fingerlings. You can always have them on the table in 30 minutes or less and microwaved baked potatoes are one of my favorite go to snacks that take 20 minutes or less to prepare.
For me, when I get into my writing mode, I sometimes forget to stop and eat lunch. The moment I start to get foggy and can't think straight, I know it is time to pop a potato in the microwave for a delicious and healthy snack that will give me the energy and brain boost I need to meet writing deadlines.
To perform at your best, you need to put potatoes on your plate. Visit Potatoesusa.comwww.potatogoodness.com/performance to learn more and for some fresh potato recipes.
What about you? Do you like potatoes? What is your favorite way to eat them?

TOWNSEND -- Hours after the chairman of the Board of Selectmen proclaimed a "new era" with the swearing-in of a full-time police chief and deputy chief, the board voted to extend Town Administrator James Kreidler's contract into 2022.
Kreidler will receive a three-year contract extension running through June 30, 2022. In an interview, he said he is pleased to commit to more time in Townsend, especially with the fire and police chiefs both under contract until 2020.
"It's a fair reflection of what is warranted," Kreidler said. "I think it fits into a general theme of locking down upper leadership."
The contract extension has not yet been signed -- selectmen voted to approve it on Oct. 17, but have to execute it outside the meeting -- but Kreidler said the language and compensation are the same as his existing contract save for a $100 per month increase to his auto allowance beginning in 2019.
Kreidler was paid $122,188 in fiscal year 2017 under his old contract.
His salary could be renegotiated in fiscal year 2018, although it is not immediately clear whether that occurred. The original contract also paid him a monthly stipend of $300 per month for auto allowance.
Selectmen voted once in executive session on the contract, the result of which is not known, and 3-0 in open session to approve it.
Selectman Sue Lisio voted in open session to approve the contract, but when reached by The Voice, she said she "really ha(s) no opinion" on it.
When asked if she believes the contract is good for the town, Lisio said the answer is "complicated because that has to do with the executive session discussion."
"I personally don't think that we should have anything beyond a three-year contract," she said. "But that's just my general opinion."
Lisio declined to discuss the contract further until minutes from the executive session negotiations are released.
Gordon Clark and Cindy King, the other two selectmen, could not be reached for comment.
The vote to extend Kreidler's contract came after a formal swearing-in for the new police chief and deputy chief last Tuesday. Rick Bailey, who had been serving as interim chief since April, is now the permanent chief on a three-year contract. James Sartell, who retired as chief from Hollis, New Hampshire to take the job, became deputy chief.
Speaking at that ceremony, Clark praised the two men as a sign of grow ing stability in a town that had been racked for months with political controversy and turnover at the police department amid internal investigations.
"Today marks a new era of policing here in Townsend," Clark said at the time. "Tonight is about looking ahead."

Retailer Phones 4U has gone into administration, putting 5,596 jobs in danger, with the firm saying its 550 stores will not open on Monday.
Phones 4U, owned by private equity firm BC Partners, placed the blame squarely at the door of the retailer's main phone contract providers: Vodafone was first to announce the shock decision and EE followed suit soon after.
Stefano Quadrio Curzio, from BC Partners, said: "Vodafone has acted in exactly the opposite way to what they had consistently indicated to the management of Phones 4U over more than six months. Their behaviour appears to have been designed to inflict the maximum damage to their partner of 15 years, giving Phones 4U no time to develop commercial alternatives.
"EE's decision on [12 September] is surprising in the context of a contract that has more than a year to run and leaves the board with no alternative but to seek the administrator's protection in the interests of all its stakeholders."
BC Partners has said it will appoint PwC as administrators.
Phones 4U has asked its staff to report for work on Monday, where they will be briefed and that employees will "continue to be paid until further notice".
Established contracts remain unaffected but it is unclear what will happen in the case of phones ordered and not dispatched, such as the new iPhone 6, many of which were ordered over the weekend.
An EE spokesman said: "In line with our strategy to focus on growth in our direct channels and to move to fewer, deeper relationships in the indirect channel, and driven by developments in the marketplace that have called into question the long-term viability of the Phones 4u business, we can confirm that we have taken the decision not to extend our contract beyond September 2015."
Phones 4U reported £105m (€131m, $170m) in underlying profits in 2013, on a turnover of £1bn, but the highly leveraged business is burdened with £635m of debts.
BC acquired the chain in 2011 in a €770m deal.

Earlier this week, Jared Leto bemoaned his lack of a summer vacation, a fact due in no small part to his job as director on Thirty Seconds to Mars' "Do or Die" music video.
But, as it turns out, he can't put all the blame on that clip. After all, as is often the case with him, Leto was actually pulling double duty during the filming of "Do or Die," shooting a second Mars music video ... this one for the track "City of Angels." And, from the sound of things, this one's gonna be epic.
"I'm making two videos at once. I've been working on 'City of Angels' while I was shooting 'Do Or Die,' " he said. "It's our new single here in the States, it's a very important song, a very personal song.
"It's also a longer song, and while I'm still figuring out what [the video] needs, it will certainly feature a couple of pieces of music, minimum," he continued. "So, yes, it's going to be another Thirty Seconds to Mars short film; it's going to be powerful and emotional and definitely something special."
And for a guy whose past credits include shooting a mini-movie for "From Yesterday" in China, pushing boundaries with the hyper-sexualized "Hurricane" and employing an army of extras and animals for "Up in the Air," that's saying something.
What Leto wouldn't say was just when "City of Angels" would be finished — "sooner rather than later," was about as specific as he'd get — but he did let MTV News in on his band's plans for the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, where they're up for three Moonmen, including Best Rock Video. And it probably won't surprise you to learn they're going to try and top their arrival at the 2010 show, when they stormed the red carpet with a bevy of bikers.
"Well I would like to maybe replicate the 'Up in the Air' artwork," he laughed. "Wouldn't it be great if we showed up with a zebra? It could be pretty amazing."
A zebra would be pretty amazing indeed. Just don't try to ride it, Jared.

This year it was with mixed emotions that I farewelled my Stratos bass boat. Gone are the days of 80mph journeys between fishing spots and fuel bills to match. The boat served me extremely well and its departure, despite leaving me high and dry for 3 months has made way for my new Edgewater 170CC which, as time goes by, I think is going to be an awesome replacement. It will let me comfortably fish tournaments as well as allow me to continue my journey conquering other species. With the higher sides I have less worry about the kids rolling off the front deck and the extra room will allow me to take family and friends out with greater ease. It's a fitting end to the year, so far the family love it and it's almost been a Christmas present in itself for the kids.
For the last week and a bit, the new Edgewater that has been sitting patiently in my garage awaiting its power plant installation. From the moment we arrived at the factory in Penrith to pick the boat up, the kids jumped aboard and thought that this new playground was the best thing going. When we returned home and backed it into the garage things didn't change, nor have they all week. Every day after work and almost every visit to the garage has ended up with the kids hanging out playing in the boat together; whether just sitting on the seats, chasing each other around the console, driving remote control cars through the garage from high up in the boat or pretending to be pirates. It hasn't exactly been the easiest thing for me as I have been trying to fit out my electronics and leaving tools around with two young children isn't an option because it is likely I'll end up with a few extra holes in the boat if they get hold of the drill when I'm not looking.
Hopefully it won't be too much longer now until we can make the maiden voyage. All that is left now is to purchase a few bits and bobs plus a new PFD to suit a 3 year old, adjust the trailer and install the remainder of electronics. From my perspective: so far, so good. Lauren seems to like it and the fact we can take friends out in this boat, have picnics and just enjoy the water in general (I think she has already started planning some outings with friends). What is most satisfying at the moment is that it has put a smile on the faces of both Lauren and I, watching the kids enjoy the boat even though it hasn't even touched the water yet. I can only hope that they will enjoy it as much, if not more, once we actually put it in the water and put it to good use over the holiday break.
In saying this, you know what I will hopefully be doing over this Christmas and New Year holiday. Thanks for the support throughout 2013, 'til next year – safe travels.

Discover: We manage an engagement process focused on community inquiry and local assets and then capture and analyze the outputs through a robust data discovery process.
Define & Design: We provide the facilitation and tools for a citizen design process that builds on the Discovery data in order to create design challenges. The process allows citizens to interact with open data and receive government input.
Case Study: Los Angeles
The Lab facilitated a series of hands-on community engagement events aimed at learning the hopes and needs of a diverse group of citizens motivated by their ideas to make the city better. Leveraging the City's open data and the globally tested Learn Do Share / Freedomlab methodology, Civic Innovation Lab broke new ground on the open data movement in Los Angeles.
Launch Event
September 14, 2014 | Hub LA
A diverse group of stakeholders joined in a discussion about city-wide challenges, the process of collectively developing new solutions, and how open data within the City can provide us with new insights.
Data Discovery
September 15 – October 8, 2014
Using community inputs from the Launch Event alongside the City's open data, data scientists took a deeper dive into the analysis and synthesis of the data from the Launch event, which then laid the foundation for the three-day Learn Do Share event in October.
Learn Do Share Open Design Session
October 10-12, 2014 | Hub LA
Over a three-day event, Civic Innovation Lab engaged a diverse group of citizens in a participatory design process that focuses on empathy, storytelling, and play in order to craft detailed design challenges.

El Castillo, Chichen Itza
Yucatan, Mexico
About 2 hours away from Cancun, Chichen Itza is one of the most visited archaeological sites in Mexico; an estimated 1.2 million tourists visit the ruins every year. I had to get low and close to get this shot. Its almost impossible to get a photo without tourists in the frame. For being one of the largest Mayan cities and being built over 1,000 years ago, it is in pretty good shape

|When I asked which of my songs would win the contest that I was going to enter I got some solid advice from Mike Rosati, Tes and some others. Thanks dudes/dudettes because I won. I won a finalists spot in the Christian categorey for the month of October (Just got the results.) That means that I get the same thing as the first place winner of October (Except I can't compete for 10,000 dollars at the end of the year.) Didn't care if I got that anyway... All I want is them to pitch my music and that's what is going to happen. :)
