Two relatively innocent actions taken by Ms. Irving in her Biology class reminded me of something that it takes far too many educators to learn or act on.
After her students set up the room for an interactive, movement and team-based Kahoot! Ms. Irving stopped, "This isn't working quite right. I need to make a change…" Then she turned to the students, sought their opinions and put what to do next to a vote.
In the matter of 30 seconds, she "violated" two old-school rules--rules that should never have been rules.
Myth 1: Never admit mistakes in front of the students.
Myth 2: It's your classroom.
Reflecting back on my first year, I remember several veteran teachers, who shall remain nameless, challenging me to take more control. "It's your classroom." "Don't listen to them [students]." Of course, this was also followed by, "Don't smile until Thanksgiving (or for the real hardened teachers until Christmas)."
Ironically, the year BEFORE I joined this school, teachers had studied the work of William Glasser. Anyway, back to Ms. Irving….
In the matter of 30 seconds, Ms. Irving modeled reflection and self-improvement (Let's change this up to make it work better) and established a responsive, shared classroom approach (What should we do?)
Of course, she's not alone in establishing a responsive classroom. Ceding control, whether it's in regards to classroom management, curriculum decisions or assessments, requires confidence and risk-taking, but the results speak for themselves.
Responsive Classroom Practices
- Student choice, whether in how to learn, where to learn, or how to demonstrate learning.
- Working to get to know your students beyond your classroom through conversations with students, counselors, TDT or teaching colleagues, families, etc.
- Remaining positive and focusing on student strengths while embodying a growth mindset
- Modeling the behaviors we desire.
- Establishing logical rules, procedures/routines and consequences, so students know where they stand and feel safe.
What are some of your favorite responsive classroom practices?
Responsive Classroom Principles (from responsiveclassroom.org)
- The social and emotional curriculum is as important as the academic curriculum.
- How children learn is as important as what they learn.
- Great cognitive growth occurs through social interaction.
- To be successful academically and socially, children need to learn a set of social and emotional skills: cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self-control.
- Knowing the children we teach—individually, culturally, and developmentally—is as important as knowing the content we teach.
- Knowing the families of the children we teach is as important as knowing the children we teach.
- How we, the adults at school, work together is as important as our individual competence: Lasting change begins with the adult community.

Rio de Janeiro, November 14, 2017 – Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras reports that its total oil and natural gas production in October was 2.77 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed), with 2.67 million boed produced in Brazil and 104 thousand boed produced abroad.
The average oil production in the country was 2.16 million barrels per day (bpd), in line with the volume produced in October.
The natural gas production in Brazil, excluding the liquefied volume, was 80.3 million m³/d, 1.5% lower than the previous month. This result was mainly due to the maintenance stoppages of FPSO Cidade de Anchieta, which operates in the Jubarte, Baleia Azul and Pirambu fields, in Campos Basin pre-salt, and FPSO Cidade de Caraguatatuba, which operates in the Lapa field, in Santos Basin pre-salt.
Pre-salt production
In October, the oil and natural gas production operated by Petrobras (wholly-owned and partner shares) in the pre-salt layer was 1.63 million boed, 2,9% lower than the previous month. This result is also due to the maintenance stoppages of FPSOs Cidade de Anchieta and Cidade de Caraguatatuba.
Oil and gas production abroad
In October, oil production in overseas fields was 61 thousand bpd, 3.6% lower than the volume produced in the previous month. This decrease was mainly due to operational occurrences in Akpo and Agbami producing fields in Nigeria and wells shutdown in the United States during the passage of the Hurricane Nate.
The natural gas production was 7.3 million m³/d, stable in relation to the volume produced in September 2017.

2015 Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
As we approach forty vintages of Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, there are certain values that draw together a harmony from those pioneering early wines to the dynamic, sought-after bottles we produce today. The valley has matured and we've endeavored to improve our offerings from the systematic replanting of our Estate vineyard, to modernizing the cellar, to becoming an industry leader in sustainability. All of these individual facets come together under the auspices of tradition and history to create delicious, age-worthy wines year after year.
Nose It doesn't take much time in the glass to reveal the ripeness of the vintage. Dried cherries, baking spices, and vanilla intermingle with softer notes of espresso bean, pipe tobacco, and lavender.
Palate The 2015 steers toward dark fruit with plenty of blackberry jam and plums slowly yielding to intense, vibrant tannins and bright acid. A touch of smoke punctuates the midpalate revealing anise and cocoa, but these are just the tip of the iceberg. Within a few moments rhubarb appears as do dried ginger and black pepper. Additional ageing time is undoubtedly necessary to reveal the potential of this wine.
Finish The finish ties both the nose and palate together with fresh raspberries, a subtle hint of mint, and incredible freshness.
Vintage Weather
A relatively warm winter set the stage for another year of drought in California. Budbreak occurred early in Calistoga, increasing the risk for vine-damaging frost, but our concerns were allayed as spring proved to be mild and uneventful. As June and July arrived, the weather remained temperate providing additional hang-time for flavor maturity and color development in the fruit. As is usually the case, the light crop turned out to be of excellent quality.
Alcohol requires a signature at time of delivery by an adult 21 years of age or older. We strongly recommend shipping to a business address to ensure successful delivery on the first attempt. We only guarantee your wine to arrive in proper condition when signed for on the first delivery.

Ever since the rise and brief ascendancy of Howard Dean in 2003, left-wing bloggers have promoted the notion that their efforts make it possible for insurgent candidates to crash previously impenetrable gates erected by the party establishment. Critics of this view have focused, with cause, on the lack of success thus far of blog-promoted candidates like Dean. But it is perhaps a more fundamental criticism to point out that strong insurgent candidates, unassisted by the blogosphere, have long been a staple of American politics.
To focus only on the past 42 years, the list of insurgents who gained substantial traction includes Barry Goldwater, George Wallace, Gene McCarthy, George McGovern, Ronald Reagan (1976), Jimmy Carter, Gary Hart, and Ross Perot. Clearly, the internet played no part in these insurgencies. Nor is television a prerequisite. In the pre-television era, Wendell Willkie came out of nowhere to win the Republican nomination for president in 1940, pushing Robert Taft and Thomas Dewey aside with the help of a volunteer organization that included a young Gerald Ford and that used a mass mailing campaign.
Willkie was a wealthy utility executive who almost overnight became the darling of his party's liberal wing. His insurgency (recounted in fine fashion by Charles Peters in his book Five Days in Philadelphia) was fueled by young, upwardly mobile professionals, the big magazines of the day, and rich backers. The issue around which they coalesced was whether the U.S. should actively help foreigners combat fascism. In these respects, Wilkie's insurgency resembles those of Dean and Lamont, with this key difference — Willkie wanted to help foreigners combat fascism.
To say that successful and almost-successful insurgent candidates are nothing new is not to minimize the accomplishment of any blog — Daily Kos, Firedogblackface, or whomever — that is instrumental in launching and/or promoting such candidates. Those operatives and amateurs who, using the methods available in their day, were instrumental in the success of Wilkie, Goldwater, McCarthy, etc. all rate footnotes in the history books. So too will today's left-wing bloggers, if they are similarly instrumental at that level.
When it comes to the lower-level Lamont campaign, though, Byron York questions whether the left-wing blogs have been instrumental.
Lamont has raised $4.1 million, $2.5 million of which came from himself and $298,000 of which came from bloggers. Now, $298,000 is not nothing. But is it the sort of fundraising power that will upend Democratic Party politics? And will a Lamont victory truly be the Triumph of the Blogs?

Bridger Peak Climber's Log
GoinHikin - Jul 24, 2012 5:30 pmRe: Faster than expected
Thank you so much for your link to the topo map! It was very helpful!!
KayCees - Mar 29, 2010 2:49 pm Date Climbed: Sep 7, 2007Bridger
Took all the kids on this one. Nice easy stroll from the road below.
Pfeiffer75 - Nov 3, 2009 2:49 pm Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2009Easy Climb
A very easy county highpoint as advertised. Had a little difficulty finding the actual highpoint in the meadow. Had to resort to the GPS, but eventually found the cairn. No summit register in the PVC tube
shphilby - Sep 8, 2009 11:28 am Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2007Easy
Took all the kids up. They made it no problem. great time with everyone.
KoryDavis - Aug 23, 2009 4:39 pm Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2007My first peak
Up with my dad and a bunch of friends
Tracy - Jul 5, 2009 1:27 am Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2009Quick solo hike
Climbed from Swan Flat Road during a 2-hour break from a family reunion at Bear Lake.
Moogie737 - Aug 14, 2008 7:28 pm Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2008Swan Flat Road
Climbed this with my daughter, Heidi, my son-in-law, Rick, and their little baby, Ivy, who was one month and 17 days old. Ivy didn't do much climbing except as a passenger in the blanket-covererd baby Bjorn, but she may be the youngest person ever to visit the summit cairn on Bridger Peak. I took us - and we were not hurrying - about one hour to reach the top. There was a summit register but it lacked a cap and there was no writing instrument, either. I was glad to have loaded the summit coordinates into my GPS; using the GoTo feature was extremely helpful in finding the top in spite of 30 minutes of bushwhacking. Hiked this again on 8-15-08 and didn't have to use GPS to find the summit. Solo this time, it took 29 minutes to reach the summit cairn and 20 minutes to come down. #3 8-17-10 w/ Rick. Quick trip up and down, of course. :)
LonePeakFreak - Jul 20, 2008 10:05 pm Date Climbed: Jul 15, 2008Fun hike
Fun early morning hike with my mom and wife during vacation at Bear Lake. Saw a moose and fought swarms of mosquitos. Quick and easy and worth the trip.
rmjwinters - Jul 20, 2008 3:08 pm Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2008Different
After hiking Naomi in the morning, my wife and I tackled this in the afternoon. It was plenty warm with valley temps in the mid-90's. Great views of Bear Lake!
KirtDavis - Sep 3, 2007 8:22 pm Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2007The Runt
There were five kids ranging from 7 to 16 that bagged this peak with five adults.
What a great hike, even though it is the lowest in elevation of all of the Utah County Highpoints
apachedino - Jul 6, 2007 8:26 pm Date Climbed: May 31, 2007Swan Peak Highly Recommended
After the short hike to Bridger I decided I had time left in the day for Swan Peak to the south. The view from the peak here is amazing...much better than Bridger. So anybody else that is chasing highpoints and does Bridger you might as well tack on Swan because trust me it is worth it.
madsjim - Jun 9, 2007 7:34 pm Date Climbed: Jun 9, 2007Awesome Day!
I wasn't too excited to do this hike, but it proved me wrong. Bridger Peak is in a beautiful area, the hike itself took me 50 minutes, fast hikers could do it in half an hour probably. After leaving the trail to bushwack there are many nice campsites if you want to do a short little backpacking trip with the family. Make sure you head north after leaving the trail, and there you will find the summit cairn.
weeds19 - Apr 19, 2007 12:30 am Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2002Turning point
We had just climbed Naomi Peak and had driven close to Bridger Peak. My wife was debating whether to join me on this hike, and she finally decided to make the hike after some internal debate... thus setting the tone for her to also finish the UT county highpoints.
surgent - Sep 12, 2006 10:55 pm Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2003Short fun hike
Good way to start a week of peaks. Now onto Borah!
Dennis Poulin - Aug 28, 2006 7:54 pm Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2006Beautiful Day in August
Great view of Bear Lake from the summit. Beautiful Day. Trail looked like herds of dear and elk had been using it regularly.
mountaingazelle - Jul 24, 2006 1:11 am Date Climbed: Jul 23, 2006Nice highpoint
I headed toward Logan to try and escape from the hot weather down south. I climbed up the trail to the ridge and then followed it north through the trees. Ended up wandering around for a while looking for the highpoint and finally saw the large cairn on the summit. It was a clear day and I could see all of the mountains and Bear Lake below.

In her book Breaking the Abortion Deadlock: From Choice to Consent, sociologist Eileen McDonagh argued that pro-choice people should move the debate from being about choice to consent. In other words, instead of arguing a woman has a "right to choose" abortion, they should be arguing that an embryo only has the right to a woman's uterus if she grants consent to the uterus, and only if consent is ongoing. She argued that sex doesn't make a woman pregnant, sex only creates the embryo, and it's the embryo that makes the woman pregnant. Since the embryo occupies the woman's uterus against her will, the embryo is essentially a rapist, or a parasite (or perhaps one of the aliens from Alien). Since the embryo is essentially a rapist, the state has an obligation to protect her from this invader in the same way the state would use the police to protect her from an actual rapist.
That's the thesis of her book, essentially. McDonagh has succeeded to some degree in changing the abortion debate to be about consent. I don't encounter this argument when I'm talking to a pro-abortion-choice advocate in person. But I occasionally encounter this argument in on-line discussions. It doesn't hold up to scrutiny, and it's not an argument that is seriously defended by most pro-abortion-choice people. It's more of an argument pro-abortion-choice people keep in their quiver as a backup.

August is a busy time in the Assisted Living industry, especially in Iowa. Many families who have been waiting to move until the end of summer are scheduling tours and reserving apartments before the first signs of winter appear. As industry veterans, we try to encourage interested parties to make their selection before the "fall rush" when our communities have limited availability. If you've been considering a move to a retirement living community, it may be in your best interest to pick out your apartment now to guarantee it will be available for you this winter. All too often, we see families wait too long and miss out on an opportunity to move before the weather turns cold. I think we all agree that the thought of moving during a snowstorm or subzero Midwest temperatures is enough to send a chill down your spine… even in August!
This time of year is also when the Iowa Assisted Living Association (IALA) hosts its annual conference, offering invaluable training, resources and networking opportunities. Every one of our Senior Housing Communities sends community representatives to this two-day conference which focuses on developing the skills in our team member "toolkits." We are proud to be a part of this organization and know that the education received during this conference reflects in the hospitality, care and services offered in each of our communities. It's always been our goal to not become stagnant and to stay ahead of the curve in order to continue to roll out the red carpet for our residents, staff members and visitors.
If you're wondering where to find a Senior Housing community near you, please visit our "Managed Communities" page. There, you'll find a visual map of our locations, as well as a full directory with links to their individual websites. Schedule a tour and we'll provide a free meal with your visit. Be sure to ask us about our Dare to Dream Program, Individualized Service Plans and signature programming! It's our pleasure to have you as our guest!

Completed on 28 May 2017 by Lachlan Coin .
Login to endorse this review.
Ahmed and Ucar present a platform for processing ATAC-seq samples. The platform starts with a fastq file, and generates peak calls. The rationale for developing this program is to provide a user-friendly solution for processing ATAC-seq samples, however it is a general pipeline for finding read-depth peaks and could be also applied to Chip-Seq data, for example.
However, this tool does not really make the analysis 'easy' for the end-user, as quite a bit of investment must be made in installing all the software dependencies. Also, it seems that command line tools are required to inspect the results, and there are no tools for assisting in interpretation or visualisiation of the results of the peak calling.
Major revisions.
1. The authors should do a more thorough comparison with features of other programs for processing ATAC-seq data. The alternatives are only mentioned in passing, and no real comparison of features is made.
2. Consider making a galaxy pipeline incorporating this pipeline. In particular, I am not convinced that a standalone tool is a more straightforward solution than using Galaxy, particularly if the user only has a modest number of samples to process. This is because the user still has to install all the software dependencies, One advantage of Galaxy is that the user does not need to install any software, as it will already be installed on a Galaxy installation.
3. One of the major points of this preprint is that it makes the analysis 'interactive'. However, there is little evidence of interactivity, and I am not sure what interactive means in the context of a pipeline for processing data. The interactivity seems to mostly consist of being able to modify various parameters in a GUI, and pressing the 'run' button. To be truly interactive, some kind of visualization of the data must be presented, and the tools to choose specific analysis pipelines on the basis of this visual feedback. At the moment it seems to me that the user must still inspect the results in the file-system, so interactivity consists of being able to change the run parameters in a GUI.
4. The authors have run the pipeline on GM12878 (and presumably other samples) but provide no results from these runs. It would be very useful to see the utility of the pipeline if some indication of the results which were obtained were presented. This gets back to the point about visualisation – it seems the tool provides no data visualization?
5. Downstream processing of peak calls. Does the tool offer any downstream processing of peak calls? I dont think the authors could claim this is a ATAC-seq pipeline if it doesnt offer some downstream tools for e.g. identifying changes in histone positioning, maybe some kind of fourier transform of peaks? Something which would assist in interpreting this as the result of an ATAC-seq experiment.
Minor revisions:
1. There are too many flow diagrams, and many of them essentially represent the same information in different ways. I understand that they each have a subtly different point, e,g. One is to illustrate the file -structure created by the program. However, it would be better to just have a single flowchart illustrating everything, perhaps with extra figure panels to illustrate other relevant points of interest, like the file structure generated. Also in Figure 2, its impossible to get any useful information out of the screenshots included, so I dont see the point. Moreover, the point of the tool is to help biologists not familiar with command line, so why does \figure 2 show commands and outputs on the command line?

Silver houses and marmalade castles: interpreting The Nutcracker
In 1892 the curtains rose at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg for the premiere of a new ballet. With a score by Tchaikovsky and choreography by Marius Petipa, the ballet was set to be a hit. After all, the pair had produced The Sleeping Beauty, which was hugely successful, just two years earlier.
But The Nutcracker flopped.
There were complaints about all aspects of the ballet; it didn't stick closely enough to the original source material – E. T. A. Hoffmann's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King – and it was choreographed by Petipa's assistant rather than by Petipa himself, who was too ill. The dancers, too, were criticized for not being graceful enough, and the prominent feature of children was not a popular move.
Tchaikovsky's score, on the other hand, was a success, and hailed as 'astonishingly rich in inspiration' and 'beautiful, melodious, original, and characteristic'. Although it inspired a few adaptations of the ballet in the following decades, The Nutcracker was not performed outside Russia until 1934, and did not become an annual Christmas tradition until 1952.
Land of Sweets
Part of the magic of The Nutcracker is the journey into the Land of Sweets in Act II of the ballet, where foods from different countries are represented through dance. Spanish chocolate, Arabian coffee, Chinese tea, Danish marzipan, and, of course, the Sugar Plum Fairy all present themselves to Marie and the Prince. All of these items would have represented wealth and luxury, giving the ballet a sense of exoticism, wonder, and magic.
The original programme called this section Scène de Confiturembürg, joining together the French confiture, meaning 'marmalade' or 'jam' (borrowed into Russian as конфитюр), with the German burg, meaning 'castle' (also used as a suffix to many town and city names, including Saint Petersburg).
Sketches of the original set suggest that every effort was taken in creating a Confiturembürg that was truly worthy of its name:
Imperial Russia and the language of The Nutcracker
In 1892, French was the language of the Russian Imperial Court, which also extended to the Imperial Theatres. All libretti and performances were therefore titled in French, and Russian theatre-goers would have been fluent francophones. By some accounts, French was so ubiquitous in 19th century Russian high society that many members of the Russian upper-classes didn't speak Russian very well at all.
But because the source material for The Nutcracker was German, some aspects of the ballet retain their Germanic roots. The most prominent example is the elusive Godfather Drosselmeyer, who gives Marie the nutcracker as a Christmas present. Drossel is German for 'thrush', a small songbird that is good at disguising itself, and moves quickly, bringing music wherever it goes, much like the character of Drosselmeyer in the ballet.
A lesser-known example is the name of the family itself—Silberhaus—meaning 'silver house'. The name of the family in the original Hoffmann story was actually Stahlbaume, meaning 'steel tree', but in an adaptation of the story by Alexandre Dumas, from which Petipa also drew inspiration, the family name was changed to Silberhaus. Whether or not this change was made in an effort to be more festive, the notion of the Land of Sweets coming from the Silver House does give the ballet a romantic quality.
Marie or Clara?
All Nutcracker–connoisseurs will know that the name of the female lead varies from production to production, and the reason is simple. In the original Hoffmann story, the young protagonist is called Marie, and Clara is the name of her doll. But because Marie's doll was never adapted as a character for the ballet, artistic directors have used both names to refer to the central character.
Both names have interesting connotations; while 'Marie' is very traditional, having associations with the Virgin Mary (and thus retaining a link to Christmas), 'Clara' comes from the Latin clarus meaning 'clear' or 'bright'. A director may choose one name over the other to reflect the general tone of his production. There are interesting examples; George Balanchine's traditional 1954 version of The Nutcracker, produced for the New York City Ballet and performed every year since its premiere, calls its heroine 'Marie'. Matthew Bourne, on the other hand, completely reinterprets the original story in his avant-garde adaptation, Nutcracker!, and calls his character 'Clara'.
The beehive
The last segment on the 1892 programme of The Nutcracker was called Apothéose: une Ruche, ruche meaning a 'beehive of activity'. If you have ever seen a production of The Nutcracker, you will probably remember the commotion on stage as Mouse King meets Chinese Tea meets Snowflake meets reveller.
The 'beehive of activity' evokes the Christmas buzz, but also gives a smallness to the story, and lets us know that all around us, everywhere, there are Silver Houses from which come dreams of Lands of Sweets, or Marmalade Castles if you prefer, and where children, adults, music, dance, toys, and food come together for Christmas.

Why Katy Perry's "Firework" needs to fizzle out.What is it about this song that is blinding people to the stupidity of its lyrics? Perhaps some of the pyrotechnics that went off in Perry's bra in the music video ricocheted into people's ears and scrambled up their brains, planting a chip that would manipulate her audience into thinking she was talented.
By Alex Nagorski
By Alex Nagorski
(Lisa, from pop group The Veronicas, tweets a pearl of wisdom)
I'm really over all those people who keep claiming that Katy Perry's "Firework" is such an "inspirational" song. If I see one more person's Facebook status about how they feel surges of confidence and empowerment when the song comes on at a club or bar, I'll probably make like that one Japanese poet and committ seppuku on national television.
A friend of mine tweeted the other day, "Katy Perry's #Firework inspires me to get me through my work day." Needless to say, we're not very close anymore.
Afterall, how else would people overlook the fact that even with as much AutoTune as she wears trashy wigs, Perry still can't hit anything outside of her three-note range?
So let's dissect this little ditty, shall we? For starters, the song opens with the line "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?" Apparently, Perry agrees with Wes Bentley's character in American Beauty that plastic bags floating in the wind signify some sort of profound imagery. Really, I'm moved by how deep this metaphor is.
But what really gets me about this song is that fireworks only last about fifteen seconds! So when Mrs. Russell Brand "sings" in the chorus, "baby, you're a firework," what she's really saying is "baby, you have a short fuse before you explode all over the place ... and die." Wow, Katy. That's like so totally inspirational. Like oh-em-gee.
What you're not necessarily right about is the line "after a hurricane comes a rainbow." While, yes, it is possible for a rainbow to occur after a hurricane, it is not a scientific rule that this will definitely happen. So really, Katy has written the official anthem for the "It Might Get Better" campaign.
In addition, the line "boom, boom, boom, even brighter than the moon" not only demonstrates Katy's impeccable songwriting skills, but also provides another fine example of what I'm sure were the excellent grades she received in science class.
Like a firework, Katy Perry is loud, obnoxious, an acquired taste, tries too hard to display too many colors, scares animals, and becomes annoyingly repetitive if let loose more than once a year. How she is selling records (let alone got a record deal in the first place) both baffles me and gives me hope that I, as vocally challenged as I am, can one day too top the charts. Until then, I recommed you stay far, far away from "Firework." Once it has been ignited, the only things that will be blowing up are your eardrums.

Posts Tagged 'fundamental concepts'
Fundamental principles(?) in mathematics
As said already in one of my previous posts, David Goldberg and I had a nice discussion about "fundamental concepts" in mathematics. Our definition of "fundamental" was that,
- once seen you cannot imagine anymore having not known it beforehand and it completely changes your way of thinking and
- a somewhat realistic approach, i.e., when subtracted from the "world of thinking" something is missing.
So here is our preliminary list of things that we came up with – in random order – and a very brief, (totally biased) meta-description of what we mean by these terms. Of course, this list is highly subjective! For each of these "fundamental concepts" the idea is to have (about) 3 applications and try to distill the main core. There will be (probably) a separate blog post for each point on the list.
- Identity/Equality. Closely related to being isomorphic. The power of identity is so penetrating that I cannot even find a short explanation. Do I have to? (Aristotle's first law of thought)
- Contradiction. Showing that something cannot be true as it leads to a contradiction or inconsistency. Closely related to this is the principium tertii exclusi or law of the excluded third as this is how we often use proofs by contradiction: a statement holds under various assumptions because its negation leads to a contradiction. If you do not believe in the law of the excluded thirdthen you obtain a different logic/mathematics. In particular, in these logics, usually every proof also constitutes some form of an algorithm as existence by mere contradiction when assuming non-existence is not allowed. (see also Aristotle's second/third law of thought)
- Induction. Establishing a property by relying on the same property for smaller sub-objects.
- Recursion. Somewhat dual to induction: a larger object is defined as a function of smaller objects that have been subject to the same construction themselves.
- Fixpoint. The existence of a point that is invariant under a map. Equilibria in games.
- Symmetry. The notion of symmetry. Take a cube – rotating it does not really change the cube.
- Invariants. Think of the dimension of a vector space. Invariants are a powerful way to show that two things are not equal (or isomorphic).
- Limits. What would we do without limits? The idea of hypothetically continuing a process infinitely long. Think of the definition of a derivative.
- Diagonalization. One of my personal favorites. Constructing a member not being in a family by making sure it differs from all the members in the family at (at least) one position. Diagonalization often exploits self-references. An example is Cantor's proof.
- Double counting. You count a family of objects in two different ways. Then the resulting "amounts" have to be identical. Typical example is the handshaking in graphs.
- Proof. The notion of proof is very fundamental. Once proven a statement remains true (provided constistency etc). Interestingly, it can be proven that some things cannot be proven. A good example for the latter is the existence of inaccesible cardinals which is consistent with ZFC.
- Randomness. Randomness is an extremely fundamental concept. One of my favorite applications is probably the probabilistic method. Think about Johnson's –approximation algorithm for 3SAT or the PCP theorem.
- Algorithm. When considering a function we are often not just interested in what computes but in particular howit can be computed. In this sense the algorithmic paradigm is an additional layer to the somewhat descriptive layer of classical mathematics.
- Exponential growth. What we were particularly thinking about was the idea that a relative improvement bounded away from ensures exponentional progress. This is used regularly in different scaling algorithms such as barrier algorithms, potential reduction methods, and certain flow algorithms.
- Information. The idea that often a critical amount of informationis necessary to decide a property. Then fooling set like arguments can show that the information is not sufficient. Prime examples include the classical example that sorting via comparison needs at least comparisons, communication complexity, and query complexity.
- Function/Relation. Mapping one set to another. In particular important when the function/relation is homogeneous, i.e., when it preserves the structure.
- Density and approximation. The idea that a set (such as the reals) can be approximated arbitrarily well by an exponentially smaller set (such as the rationals). This exponential by polynomial approximation is also something that we are using in approximation algorithms, say, when we round the input. In this case the set of polytime solvable (rounded) instances is "dense" in the set of all instances. It can also be found in set theory when using prediction principles (such as Jensen's diamond principle or Shelah's Black Box) to predict functions on a stationary set by an exponentially smaller set.
- Implicit definitions. The concept of defining something not in an explicit manner but as a solutionto a set of contraints.
- Abstraction. The use of variables is so ingrained in us that we cannot even imagine to do serious mathematics without them. But abstraction is much more. It is the ability to see more clearly because we "abstract away" unnecessary details and we use "abstraction" to unify seemingly unrelated things.
- Existence (in the sense that Brouwer hated). One of the keywords here is probably non-constructivism and the probabilistc methods and indirect arguments are two promiment methods in this category. This was something that Brouwer despised: the idea to infer, e.g., existence of something merely because the contrary statement would lead to a contradiction (Brouwer's school of thought denies the tertium non datur). The probabilistic method might have been fine with him. Although that is not clear at all as on a deep level we are merely trading an existential quantifier for a random one… long story…
- Duality. By duality we mean the wider idea of duality, i.e., for example the forall quantifier and the existential quantifier. Basically, when we talk about duality we often think about some structure describing the "space of positive statement" and a dual structure that describes the "space of negative statement". In some sense duality is a form of a compact representation of the negation of a statement.
- Counting. Counting is again something that penetrates every mathematical theory. My favorite application of counting is the Pigeonhole principle.
- Hume's principle (suggested by Hanno – see comments). Two quantities are the same if there exists a bijection between them. Somewhat related to "equality" however here we explicitly ask for the existence of a bijection. For example there are as many integers as their are rationals.
- Infinity (suggested by Hanno – see comments). The idea that something is not finite. With the notion of infinity I feel that the notion of countably infinite and uncountably infinite is closely connected. In fact the Continuum Hypothesis (CH) is such a case. It is consistent with ZFC and asserts that the first uncountably infinite cardinal is the size of the power set of the natural numbers (essentially the reals), i.e., whether ). However in other models of set theory is possible, by adding, e.g., Cohen reals.

Heather Melton always knew she wanted to be a cosmetologist. As a student at Minnesota School of Cosmetology, she enjoys the daily interaction with clients.
"I've been interested in the beauty industry since I was a small child," says Heather. "My passion is to do hair and make people feel wonderful."
The experience she gets from working with real clients and practicing the skills she learns in the classroom is something Heather appreciates about MSC.
"Minnesota School of Cosmetology is hands-on right away, so instead of just learning from the book, I get to do everything right off the bat," Heather says.
That hands-on experience is what Heather says has her ready for a career in the field.
"They prepare you for the nitty-gritty and also for all the technical work that you'll be doing on a day-to-day basis," she says.
One of the things Heather likes best about the program at MSC is the variety of things she can do with her education.
"They give so many different job opportunities and ideas out there, it's not just a one track type of school," she says.

Where do I begin? Jason deCaires Taylor's breathtaking underwater sculptures are nothing short of pure genius. I am obsessed.
Over 400 life-sized sculptures have been permanently anchored on the seabed of the National Marine Park of Cancún, Isla Mujeres, and Punta Nizuc. These sculptures are the first installations in Cancún's new underwater museum, Museo Subacuático de Arte.
Each sculpture was cast from a real person to represent a cross-section of Mexican society. They are formed with a special pH-neutral cement, designed specifically to support and encourage aquatic life while acting as an artificial barrier to protect nearby reefs. Some of the earlier installments are already flourishing with new coral growth, which completes the sculptures and brings them to life. In Taylor's words, "It is a symbiosis of humans and nature living in this cycle in harmony with each other."
A little eerie and spooky? Yes. Completely and utterly fascinating? You bet! Can you imagine going for a dip and coming upon these statues? I would probably freak my freak, but these living sculptures are undenyably gorgeous and spellbinding.

I recently took an initial look at stock momentum, finding that markets that finish the day strong (weak) tend to trade above (below) their day's high (low) the following session.
Here is another look at short-term momentum, drawing upon the Demand/Supply indicator mentioned in my previous post.
Going back to late 2002, when I first began collecting those data, if two conditions are met:
1) The most recent day has positive momentum (Demand exceeds Supply);
2) The most recent day has stronger momentum than the prior day (Today's Demand greater than yesterday's),
then we trade above the previous day's high in SPY approximately 60% of the time (vs 48% for all remaining days).
Adding a strength filter such as advance/decline strength improves these odds further. Interestingly, we don't see an edge on taking out yesterday's low when downside momentum is strong.
More on this topic to come; eventually, I'll be adding a Momentum System for swing trading to the Transition System. Signals from both systems will appear on the blog and in Twitter updates (follow here) as a way to provide decision support for discretionary traders.

Roasted rhubarb crazy berry meringues showcase two of this month's seasonal best ingredients. Spoon a bright red compote of tart rhubarb and juicy red strawberries on top of crunchy white meringues for this incredibly flavorful, just a little bit crazy, dessert.
These meringues are vegan! Instead of the usual egg whites, they're made with aquafaba, the water you drain from a can of chickpeas. Vegan meringues? Crazy? Stay with me here. I'm including a recipe for egg white meringues too–in case you were about to wander off.JUMP DIRECTLY TO RECIPE
Coming from a pastry chef background, I had to test and compare the vegan and egg white meringues. Mind-blowing. If I didn't tell you, I bet you couldn't say which was which–the two different baked meringues are so close in looks, texture, and flavor. Actually, the vegan aquafaba ones are easier to make. Instead of being watchful not to overbeat egg whites, you whip the bejeezus out of aquafaba. Plus, there's no separating whites from yolks, and no figuring out what to do with the yolks.
If you've ever cooked with rhubarb, you know that its color is rarely vivid red. You expect red, but you get dull pink. The cure is to roast the rhubarb in an orange scented raspberry sauce. Then, taking a cue from the Italian "crazy strawberry" dessert, fragola pazzo, spike the rhubarb raspberry sauce with pungent balsamic vinegar and freshly ground black pepper. Crazy good!
Sweet and tart, meringue and fruit, crisp and soft—it's a pleasing contrast. Kind of like Australia's pavlova, except these meringues are baked until they're crisp all the way through. Underneath the crazy rhubarb and berries, the meringues go all marshmallow-y creamy. For color and crunch, finish with a sprinkle of toasted pistachios.
Roasted rhubarb crazy berry meringues are mouthwatering beautiful desserts. They're deliciously vegan as well, made with the amazing aquafaba meringues, and lightly sweetened with maple syrup. Serve for for Mother's Day, small graduation parties, and my birthday, which btw is this month. 😉
Be sure to plate your roasted rhubarb crazy berry meringues at the last minute, just before serving. For a casual affair, let guests assemble their own: Put the meringues, rhubarb, strawberries, crazy sauce, and pistachios in separate bowls. Make one first, a demo, to show them how. They'll love the final flourish of freshly ground pepper!
Roasted Rhubarb Crazy Berry Meringues notes:
- Ideally, garbanzo beans for vegan meringues should not contain salt, but many brands do. Both Eden Organic and 365 Everyday Value (Whole Foods) have no salt added. If it's all you can find, use the salted aquafaba.
- Meringues can be made several days ahead of time. They keep well in the open air in our dry mountain climate, but if it is humid where you are, store in an airtight container.
- If you eat dairy, you could gild the lily with a dollop of softly whipped cream.
- If you don't want to make meringues, or if you've short on time, spoon this crazy rhubarb and berry compote over ice cream. Cookies would be nice on the side.

Crazy delicious vegan and gluten free dessert! Make the meringues and rhubarb the day ahead. Stir the strawberries into the rhubarb compote just before serving. Vegan meringue recipe makes about 16 meringue nests, which is more than you need. The compote is enough for 6 to 8 servings. Egg white meringue recipe makes about 11 nests.
- ½ cup liquid (aquafaba), drained from a can of chickpeas/garbanzo beans (see note)
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/3 cup organic cane sugar (see note)
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot or cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon white balsamic or apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups frozen raspberries
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
- ½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 5 or 6 stalks fresh rhubarb, ends trimmed, about 1 pound
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, cut in quarters
- 3 tablespoons chopped roasted pistachios or almonds
- 3 large egg whites, (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/3 cup sugar, ideally superfine
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot or cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon white balsamic or apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 200°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment. Pour the bean liquid (aquafaba) through a strainer. With an electric mixer or stand mixer with whisk, whip the liquid with the cream of tartar until white and foamy, 2 to 5 minutes, less with a stand mixer. The liquid will double in volume.
Continue whipping, adding the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Whip until the meringue forms stiff glossy peaks. This can take a while, 5 minutes or more, again depending on your mixer. Make a slurry with the arrowroot, vinegar, and vanilla. Add the slurry and whip some more.
Scoop 1/3 cup mounds onto the parchment-covered baking sheet. (I use a #16 cookies scoop) Use the back of a spoon to hollow out the centers. Make the hollows deep, because they are not as deep when the meringues expand in the oven.
Bake about 2 hours, until the meringue is dry. (see note)
Preheat oven to 375°F. Put the raspberries in a saucepan with the orange zest and juice. On low flame, cook just until the raspberries are hot and have broken down, but do not boil. Using a sieve, strain the juice from the seeds, pressing to get as much raspberry juice as you can. You should have about ¾ cup of thick raspberry juice. Set aside in a bowl.
Cut the rhubarb stalks in half lengthwise, then cut on a sharp diagonal into 1-inch pieces.
Stir the rhubarb and maple syrup into the raspberry sauce. Transfer to a 9 x 13-inch casserole and bake until the rhubarb is just tender but still holding its shape, about 15 minutes. Resist the urge to bake longer--the fruit softens as it cools.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the rhubarb. Stir in the vanilla, balsamic vinegar, and several grinds of black pepper.
Stir the strawberries into the raspberry sauce. Place meringues on plates. Spoon rhubarb to one side and strawberries into the center. Drizzle sauce around the plate. Sprinkle with pistachios and freshly ground black pepper.
Preheat oven to 200°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment. With an electric mixer or stand mixer with whisk, whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar, whipping until the whites form glossy, stiff peaks, 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat. Make a slurry with the arrowroot, vinegar, and vanilla. Add to the meringue and whip until incorporated.
Scoop 1/3 cup mounds onto the parchment-covered baking sheet. (I use a #16 cookie scoop.) Use the back of a spoon to hollow out the centers. If you are comfortable with a pastry bag, you can pipe the meringue through a large star-shaped tip, and form nests—higher on the edges than the center.
Bake about 2 hours, until the meringue is dry. (see note)
Ideally the garbanzo beans should not contain salt, but many brands do. Both Eden Organic and 365 Everyday Value (Whole Foods) have no salt added. If it's all you can find, use the salted aquafaba. A 15-ounce can of garbanzo beans contains ½ to 3/4 cup aquafaba.
Organic cane sugar is relatively coarse. To make it as fine as possible, give it a spin in the food processor. You can substitute superfine sugar, but regular sugar is generally not vegan.
You can't truly tell if the meringue is dry until it cools a minute. So, pull from the oven and gently lift a corner of one of the meringues. If it bends, return it to the oven for more baking time.

The moment arrives.
Do I take that risk or don't I?
Most of the time I would stay
the course. The question would
go unanswered. But it comes back.
New conditions arise. Do I take that risk,
and leave what I know best, with what
I feel most secure?
My time has come.
It's inbred in us to take that risk.
"A random mutation makes the difference between victory and defeat. Why try?", shouts a cynic from the side
A decision to take on risk and succeed determines whether or not we thrive, and maybe even someday in the distant future survive.
Of course I will take that risk. Humans fight to overcome random twists of fate.
Your time comes.
You know it.
You do it.

I do not think the behaviour was > completely intentional. The behaviour is certainly an edge case, but I think it is correct. (Correct or not, it has been the same going all the way back to Python 1.5, before strings even had methods, so it almost certainly will not be changed. Changing the behaviour now will very likely break hundreds, maybe thousands, of Python programs that expect the current behaviour.) Consider your string as a sequence of boxes, with index positions labelled above the string: 0-1-2-3-4 |s|p|a|m| The indexing model is that positions represent where you would cut *between* characters, not the character itself. Slices are the substring between cuts: "spam"[1:3] => "pa" while single indexes return the character to the right of the cut: "spam"[1] => "p" If there is no character to the right of the cut, indexing raises an error. Now, consider "spam".find(substring, start). This should return the number of the first cut immediately to the left of the substring, beginning the search at cut #start. "spam".find("pa", 1) => 1 because cut #1 is immediately to the left of "pa" at index 1. By this logic, "spam".find("", 4) should return 4, because cut #4 is immediately to the left of the empty string. So Python's current behaviour is justified. What about "spam".find("", 5)? Well, if you look at the string with the cuts marked as before: 0-1-2-3-4 |s|p|a|m| you will see that there is no cut #5. Since there is no cut #5, we can't sensibly say we found *anything* there, not even the empty string. If you have four boxes, you can't say that you found anything in the fifth box. I realise that this behaviour clashes somewhat with the slicing rule that says that if the slice indexes go past the end of the string, you get an empty string. But that rule is more for convenience than a fundamental rule about strings. I think there is legitimate room for disagreement about the "right" behaviour here, but backwards compatibility trumps logical correctness here, and it is very unlikely to be changed. > The docstring does not describe this edge case, so I think it could be > improved. If the first sentence(being an index in S) is kept, than it > shouldn't say that start and end are treated as in slice notation, > because that's actually not true. +1 I think that you are right that the documentation needs to be improved. -- Steven

Last October, just before BT increased the line rental cost, I paid a year in advance which is an effective £9.49 a month and also took the £4.99 a month 'anytime' calls deal. Having seen a discussion on another forum, I've now done a further deal for £13 a month for their Option 3 bb which includes the £4.99 for calls, so an effective £8.01 a month for bb, in comparison to my latest bill from AOL for £17.30! And I should be getting 5.5 megs against AOL's best of about 3 megs, although time will tell on that one.
If I should have posted this elsewhere then my apologies, but I'm sure a moderator will move it.
PS. Should maybe have added, it took 2 e-mails to AOL to get my MAC code, though it arrived the very next day after the 2nd one!

Are you experiencing massive success? I have been an educator for over 10 years. I have found that one of the most interesting conversations you can have as an educator is on the topic of success. Everybody wants to experience success but it is very complicated to try and get everyone to agree on what it means. This is a major barrier for educators that are trying to teach people how to be more successful. Nevertheless, I find myself writing an article about "massive success". Well, I guess we better start with some definitions.
The easiest place to start is the definition of massive. We can all easily agree that massive refers to something that is large in scale, amount, or degree. The next step is to consider what is meant by the word success. Dictionary.com has five definitions for the word success. All of them are related to achievement. The most common mistake is aligning that achievement with material possessions and monetary growth. But, if those things don't equal success then what does?

Poodle And Parrot Are Unlikely BFFs – So Cute!
An African Gray Parrot and a Miniature Poodle make an unlikely pair in this cute video. The kisses and belly scratching is a bit of an eye-opener, LOL. Glad these two get along!
From Rumble:
This African gray parrot was rescued when injured and nursed back to health. The person who rescued the parrot didn't expect her poodle to become head nurse and best friend to the parrot.

Many clinical examples can already be listed where quantitative imaging is used in clinical practice. Such as carotid stenosis, coronary artery stenosis, calcium scoring, pulmonary nodules, renal donor evaluation, liver and tumor volumetry, brain perfusion, emphysema quantification.
Each of these show good results in literature and could be applied in clinical practice.
However, the question is whether the numbers we get out of the software are usefull and what is reality. Different vendors provide different results in the same patient and even within one software system measurements are influenced by postprocessing choices but also by decisions during the acquisiiton.
One of the things that can be done to get proper quantification we should provide reference datasets.
QIBA is ran by a group of stakeholders to improve quantitative imaging. They define profiles to get precise, repeatable measurements. QIBA has setup a imaging data warehouse (QIDW) including standard datasets that can be used to validate quantitative imaging algorithm.
The QIDW is free, open source, modular software based on MIDAS.
In conclusion tagging of the image data in radiology is essential to allow computers to work with the information. The quantification is part of this tagging. Developments like AIM are trying to cover this and allow export in XML or DICOM SR, however current PACSs and EMRs do not yet support these kind of measurement. When the storage and data mining of all the information available in the images becomes possible it will provide the key information to get to personalized diagnosis and treatment.

"Avgolemono" combines the Greek words for "egg" and "lemon." Avgolemono sauce is made with egg, lemon juice and the broth from the meat you are cooking. It is also the basis for Greek lemon chicken soup with rice.
A typical recipe for avgolemono soup calls for 2 1/2 quarts of chicken broth, one small chicken breast, one cup of rice, 1/4 cup cold water, three egg yolks, the juice of one to three lemons and salt. The recipe makes eight servings, and each serving has 165 calories, 9 g protein, 25 g carbohydrates, 2 g fiber, 3 g fat and 504 mg sodium.
Asian Lemon Chicken Soup
A recipe for Asian-style lemon chicken soup with rice calls for four cups of chicken broth, two red chilies, two inches of fresh ginger, three garlic cloves, basil and mint leaves, two stalks of lemongrass, one cooked chicken breast, one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 1/2 cup rice. The finished soup is garnished with cilantro, basil and mint leaves.
Each of four servings contains 210 calories, 3.2 g fat, 797 mg sodium and 20 g protein.
To increase nutrition without significantly increasing calories, add chopped vegetables such as celery, onion, green beans or any other non-starchy vegetables. To reduce the amount of sodium in the soup, use low-sodium chicken stock or make your own.

Siloam Sauna
49, Jungnim-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, Korea | 24 hours | Seoul Station (Line 1 & 4), Exit 1 | Website
Siloam Sauna, or Jjimjilbang is a Korean bathhouse. It is much like those public bathhouses in Japan, but in Korea, it is like a mini entertainment center. They are family-friendly and if you watch Korean dramas, it's the place they go to when the actor/actress has no place to stay lol! Entrance is cheap ranging from 8,000won to 15,000won, they comes with various services and facilities (additional charges for some) e.g. massage, haircut, karaoke, manicure/pedicure, bathhouses, sleeping quarters, and various fomentation rooms for your relaxation!
Siloam Sauna is just opposite Seoul Station. It is very convenient and once you exit Seoul Station you should be able to spot the building with the huge signage that says "Siloam Sauna".
It has 6 levels and each level serve different purposes.
Basement – Bathhouses
Level 1 – Lockers / Barber / Laundry / Store
Level 2 – Fomentation Rooms / Children's Play room / Massage / Restaurant / Nail Art/ Meeting Point
Level 3 – Table Tennis / Fitness Room / Party Room / Singing Room / Game Room / PC Room
Level 4 – Fomentation Room / Coffee Shop
Level 5 – Sleeping rooms
Everyone starts by paying the entrance fee, then you proceed to separate locker rooms for man and woman. Inside the locker room, we get changed and put our belongings in the locker provided. Then we proceed to level two to meet up with Daddy E.
The restaurant has a good variety of food at fairly reasonable prices. The taste was not bad, but I forgot to take pictures haha. Right outside the restaurant is a small children's playroom.
After our lunch, Daddy E went to the fomentation level while I bring Baby E to level 5 for her nap.
The sleeping area is divided into men, women and common. There is also a snorers' room (man only) for people who snores haha. I went inside the common sleeping area and found rows of bunk beds like this. Each comes with a small mattress and a towel-like blanket. It's not bad, the place is quiet and dim and warm, Baby E fell asleep quickly.
And when I found Daddy E, he asked "Why we didn't come here earlier?? We could have spent the whole day here!" Indeed, with little entertainment rooms, various facilities and a place for my baby to nap, it was perfect for family to come together.
We spent a couple of hours there before we had to leave to catch our plane. Before we went to the Jjimjilbang, we had checked-in our luggage early at Seoul Station City Airport Terminal as we were flying via Korean Air. One of the other benefits of flying by Korean Air besides their Excellent Boarding Pass promotions, you do not need to lug your heavy luggage around! (Seriously, Korean Air DID NOT sponsor this post. lol)
Siloam Sauna may not be the most luxurious place, but it's great to experience local culture in their authenticity. I'm sure we will be back if we ever go to Seoul again. And this ended our short trip in Seoul!

Folk Art Inspires High Fashion
Folk art has inspired today's fashions. As a record of time and place, folk art is, essentially, functional art that has been made beautiful. The American Folk Art Museum is hosting a traveling exhibit that bridges the gap between the two. The final installation of Folk Couture: Fashion and Folk Art runs from February 4 to April 29, 2018.
The exhibit, which has already been shown at the American Folk Art Museum in New York, the Huntsvilles Museum of Art in Alabama and the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens in Florida, features the work of more than a dozen designers who were inspired by folkart.
The Artists
The designers include Catherine Malandrino and Bibhu Mohapatra, among many others.
Malandrino's designs bring together her native French couture with what has been called the street style of New York. Her iconic Flag Dress that features the American flag and is a statement about freedom, individuality, risk, fun, and open space, according to Malandrino.
She has designed a handkerchief dress that takes turn-of-the-century papercut with Odd Fellows symbols to a whole new level. Like the symbols, it too is meant to be a statement of fellowship and love.
A hand-held book of tattoo patterns gave Mohapatra insights into the stories tattoos can tell. Imagining a sailor at sea, he envisioned the body of water around the sailor to be like a woman. The result is a dress with suggestive tattoo designs beneath the garment's watery organza surface. "She looks as if she has tattoos all over her body and this wave of organza is floating over. It is a dream, it is a reality, and it is also a fantasy," said the Indian designer.
Special Program
Part of this unique exhibit includes a series of free talks by the designers who will give presentations on their respective folk art influences and artistic processes. For a complete schedule click here.

Minions, tokens and reticules, oh my! Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa highlights various changes in place and coming to a patch day near you. A good portion of the Ranger and Spy changes are coming soon to the game servers, but they aren't the only classes with adjustments in the works.
A good example of this is a new minion system that will strongly benefit classes such as the Exobiologist. The new minion system is planned to allow players access to have more control over their pets and pace of combat resulting in more rewarding gameplay. More information on this will be available as this makes it closer to the Live Servers. And on the subject of pets, in 1.7 pets will receive a damage bonus from the number of points their master places in their Mind attribute.
Read the Friday Feedback on the main site, then comment in the Tabula Rasa Community Forums.

If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first,"
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
There is an awesome giveaway going on {here}. Check it out. :)

A number is settled on and they're asked to count down that many cards from the deck to a randomly selected card. The performer asks the spectator to open the Fortune Cookie and encourages them to read aloud the paper fortune inside, they turn over their selected card and it is found that both the paper fortune and card are a perfect match! Leaving the spectator thinking is it fate or just a coincidence?!

My first iOS experience came by way of an iPod Touch that was given to me at Christmas in 2008. I remember feverishly setting it up so I could comb the App Store for goodies; making sure to download all the best apps and games available at the time. Now that Christmas is upon us this year, some fortunate few are being introduced to iOS for the first time.
When you find your way into the App Store for the first time, you'll soon discover that it houses a lot of apps. Like, millions. Many of them bring a unique feature to the iPhone that you don't get from first-party apps, but then there are the apps that compete with Apple's offerings. Now, being that Apple owns and operates iOS, its apps often include killer features that you won't find in third-party alternatives. However, even with this advantage, some third-party apps are capable of offering a superior experience.
With this in mind, I've rounded up a list of what I believe to be the best free and paid alternatives to Apple's first-party iOS apps. Read on and get ready to download! (more…)
Forget about Teen Mom and Jersey Shore: MTV is returning to their roots with their latest app, MTV Artists.
Yes, you did hear correctly — MTV has exchanged their plethora of mediocre reality shows for what made the channel great from the start: music. Its goal? To make music discovery an easy process anytime, anywhere. Find out exactly what it brings to the table after the jump.
Creating an alternative to a stock app is risky. Most iPhone owners will never go looking for an app that will replace something that Apple already ships, unless they are looking for additional functionality or something radically different.
Creating an alternative to a stock app that is well entrenched within both Apple's ecosystem and within the hearts and minds of consumers is borderline insane. While people are used to changing their web browsers, most don't care to actively search for a replacement to a music app. The bar is set high for Ecoute 2.0: can it survive in a world where Apple ships its stock music app on every iPhone? (more…)
Attention iPhone owners! You know how you can never seem to find a great music streaming service for iOS? Well, Google has released their Google Play Music app on iOS, which features their All Access service with library of 18+ million songs. At long last, I can ditch the gigs of music on my iPhone and tap into this cloud music business I've heard so much about.
Okay, so that was probably an unnecessarily snarky opening, but please forgive me if I don't get excited about yet another streaming music service that's incredibly late to the party. Especially when the last service to land on iOS ended up being rather lackluster (I'm referring to Xbox Music for those that didn't wish to click the link). I can only speak for myself, but as a member of the Rdio faithful, Google's music service has a lot to prove for me to even entertain the notion of jumping ship. Let's find out if it can do just that. (more…)
If you've ever taken a trip on the London Underground (or any subway service for that matter) then you'll no doubt notice that each train is littered with small ads, providing both an effective means of marketing whilst giving us commuters something to read when we've accidentally left our headphones at home.
Sandwiched between the various online dating sites (apparently everyone in London is lonely) and cosmetic surgery boutiques was an ad for a new online music service called Bloom.fm. The ad, promising features such as 22 million tracks, offline playback and a radio service similar to that of Spotify and Rdio, was enough to pique my interest. After spending a few days with the iPhone app and service, I can honestly say it is making me think twice about continuing my Spotify Premium subscription.
Spotify have been allowing developers to build upon their platform for some time now, giving developers the ability to build their own music discovery apps and services that go beyond anything Spotify alone could do.
One such service that has been made available recently is Moodsnap, a music discovery app for iOS users with a Spotify Premium subscription. Moodsnap finds music based upon your mood by choosing from a number of pre-selected pictures to best represent how you feel. While it's an interesting idea, the app is far too buggy and its lack of variety and often confusing images makes it hard to understand why it's a better alternative to any other music discovery app, including Spotify Radio.
Let me get this out of the way: iOS 7 is great. I love it. But it's not perfect. There's a million fantastic improvements, but there's also a few things that Apple still hasn't gotten around to improving. I'm not talking about design problems (although there are a couple of those), but rather about some of the little quirks that still drive me crazy.
With that in mind, this is my attempt to keep a small log of the things that really bother me. Consider this is a wish list of tiny things I wish Apple would get around to in iOS 7.1.
Last December I wrote an opinion piece about Microsoft's (and Google's) place in the iOS ecosystem. In the article, I stated that Microsoft had finally learned that restricting their popular services for the Windows Phone 8 operating system doesn't necessarily translate to more sales of hardware devices running said OS. This transition of philosophy was evidenced by the release of Microsoft's popular services like SkyDrive, Xbox SmartGlass and OneNote on iOS.
Since then, Microsoft has even released Office, though the app is restricted to those subscribing to Office 365. Another popular service that finally made its debut on the iPhone just a few weeks prior is Xbox Music. I won't deny that I was anxiously waiting to see that Microsoft had in store, as I've long admired their music service. Join me after the jump as I determine whether or not my wait was in vain.

Like a DJ in your pocket, Splyce is a beautiful music player that lets you select songs and order the playlist before mixing the beats, displaying visual effects, creating a light show and more. All it takes is just some basic instruction from you, and Splyce will get the party started.
Use the app as an everyday music player, at get-togethers with friends, or while you're at the gym. The app displays the beats per minute for every song, so you can take that into consideration when crafting your playlist. Hit the jump and I'll show you how it works. (more…)
