Type of Document Dissertation Author Atuegwu, Nkiruka Chioma URN etd-12042008-141156 Title Image guided transorbital endoscopic procedures Degree PhD Department Biomedical Engineering Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Robert L. Galloway Committee Chair Alfred. B. Bonds Committee Member Jay. B. West Committee Member Louise A. Mawn Committee Member Michael I. Miga Committee Member Keywords
- Computer-assisted surgery
- image guidance
- endoscopic guidance
- Eye-sockets -- Endoscopic surgery
Date of Defense 2008-09-17 Availability unrestricted AbstractEndoscopic orbital procedures are hindered by both the difficulty in differentiating between orbital structures and the loss of orbital landmarks during these procedures. These difficulties are due to the orbital fat that obstructs direct vision of the orbital structures. Image guidance can address these problems because real time image and physical space tracking information can be provided to the surgeons during the orbital procedure to help in the delivery of therapy to the orbit.
Image guidance requires an image-space to physical-space registration and tracking in physical-space with a localizer. To effectively use a magnetic localizer for transorbital guidance, the error metrics must be characterized so that expected guidance errors can be determined. After characterizing the magnetic tracker, the registration of the physical-space to image-space needs to be addressed. Since the target in this research is the optic nerve, a structure which can be anywhere in the retroorbital pyramid, a new form of fiducial placement is created. In this method the retroorbital pyramid was sampled and a fiducial placement which minimized TRE throughout the possible location of the optic nerve head was determined.
After characterizing the magnetic localizer and determining an optimal fiducial placement for the task of optic nerve drug delivery, the performance of the system had to be tested. An experimental protocol which allowed performance quantification in an application mimicking manner was developed. Performance metrics from that protocol were gathered on a number of surgeons.

CHOGM : Aust leads push against SL
November 30, 2009 Comments Off on CHOGM : Aust leads push against SL
ABC – Rudd plays careful hand at CHOGM
Behind the scenes, Mr Rudd has led a push to stop Sri Lanka from hosting the next summit.
Many leaders are concerned about Sri Lanka's human rights record in the war against Tamil separatists and feared it would lead to a boycott of the next meeting.
The ABC has been told that Mr Rudd has held at least three bilateral meetings with Sri Lanka's President and Prime Minister in Trinidad, in order to convince them to abandon their hosting plans.
UK Guardian – Commonwealth vetoes Sri Lanka bid to hold 2011 gathering
Sri Lanka has been blocked from hosting the next meeting of Commonwealth leaders in protest at Colombo's military repression against the Tamil population earlier this year.
Australia will instead host the next biennial Commonwealth heads of government meeting in 2011 after Canberra and London joined forces to block the Sri Lankan bid.
The decision, made at the summit in Trinidad and Tobago over the weekend, is a victory for Gordon Brown and his Australian counterpart, Kevin Rudd.
AAP – Australia to host 2011 CHOGM
Australia will host the 2011 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
The decision was made on Saturday at the CHOGM currently underway in Trinidad and Tobago.
Sources said an official announcement was expected to be made on Sunday.
Sri Lanka had been lobbying to host the 2011 CHOGM but it is believed it will now host the 2013 meeting.
CHOGM, a biennial summit involving 53 leaders from Commonwealth nations, traditionally discusses issues relevant largely to the Commonwealth.
CHOGM critics have questioned the summit's relevance, including a damning report released by the British-based Royal Commonwealth Society last week that suggested the once-powerful alliance was fading.
But the importance of this year's event reaches far beyond the former British empire.
Trinidad's Prime Minister, Patrick Manning, invited French President Nicholas Sarkozy, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Danish Prime Minister Lars Rasmussen to the CHOGM discussion table.
The global interest in this year's CHOGM lies in its timing, as the last major gathering of leaders before the December 7-18 United Nations climate conference in Copenhagen.
Queen Elizabeth II traditionally opens the biennial event, which attracts hundreds of government officials and media representatives from around the world.
Australia has previously hosted CHOGM twice, most recently at Coolum in Queensland in 2002 (that meeting was postponed from October 2001). Melbourne hosted the CHOGM in 1981.
The first CHOGM was held in Singapore in 1971. Previously, meetings were held under the banners of Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conferences (from 1944) and Imperial Conferences.

Media Release – The Elders call on Sri Lankan government to protect rights of civilians displaced by conflict: donors also have a vital role to play
The Elders – a group of eminent global leaders brought together by Nelson Mandela – have made a direct appeal to the President of Sri Lanka to protect the rights of civilians displaced after the government's defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in May.
Six months since the end of the war, the Elders have written to President Rajapaksa to say they are "deeply worried" about the humanitarian situation faced by the largely Tamil civilian population who fled fighting in the north of the country, and warn that this could squander hopes for national reconciliation.
Chair of The Elders, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, signed the letter on behalf of his fellow Elders, Martti Ahtisaari, Kofi Annan, Ela Bhatt, Lakhdar Brahimi, Gro Brundtland, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Jimmy Carter, Graça Machel and Mary Robinson.
The Elders say in their letter to the President that the continued confinement of approximately 135, 000 internally displaced people is a "clear violation of international law" and that these people are being denied basic human rights, including the right to liberty and freedom of movement.
The Elders welcome the government's announcement that those still confined in closed camps will now be given the freedom to move in and out of the camps until they are able to return to their homes. The Elders also call for humanitarian agencies to be granted the unimpeded access to the camps required to conduct critical humanitarian and human rights work such as providing health care, legal aid, and helping to reunite families.

Misfortune Cookie by Michele Gorman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
"Following your heart will pay off in the near future"
The fortune cookie had spoken, affirming Hannah's decision to move to Hong Kong to be with her boyfriend. She's no stranger to rash decisions – after all she moved from the US to London on a dare, and that worked out, didn't it? Ever the optimist, she's determined to make a success of her move, no matter what anybody says.
Unfortunately, anybody seems to be everybody and her life isn't going exactly to plan.
Sure, she's found a career in fashion that she loves, her best friend Stacy moved to be with her, and they're exploring the weird and wonderful in Hong Kong. It's her love life that's not quite living up to expectations. It isn't easy having a relationship with a boyfriend who's been posted to a job in another country. Particularly one who seems a bit too cosy with his new boss.
When things also start going wrong at work, Hannah begins to think her friends and family were right. Has she made the worst mistake of her life?
I received this ebook from Michele Gorman to read and review. I read it quite quickly after receiving it, but real life has got in the way of me writing a full review any sooner, for which I apologise.
Misfortune Cookie is a fun read, falling clearly into the chicklit genre. It is a testament to Michele's writing ability that at the same time time that she makes her main character, Hannah, a rather selfish and quite self-centred person, you still want to find out what happens to her and, despite her ways, you want things to turn out right for her.
I think this dichotomy may be because although Hannah displays lots of selfish behaviour, she can also be very kind, and rarely sets out to hurt or harm anyone. She is loyal to those she regards as friends.
During her stay in Hong Kong, we see Hannah grow as a person. She starts to realise there are wide swaths of human experience of which she has not been aware. Her ability to infer fashion trends from people's behaviour and link this to economic trends is both break-taking and heart-warming and shows that everyone had a talent, however specialised it might be!.
One thing that 'made' this book for me was Michele's description of Hong Kong. I have never (yet!) visited Hong Kong, so Misfortune Cookie gave me a flavour of the city, its heat and humidity. Hong Kong was as much of a character in this book as any of the people.
The supporting cast were well chosen and we had pretty much the full set of personality types! They were for the most part well drawn from a character point of view, but I didn't have clear physical images of many of them. I've only realised this whilst writing the review; it didn't affect my enjoyment of the book at all.
Michele's writing style is engaging and thus easy to read. There was little repetition and the descriptions of places clear, crisp and atmospheric. Without being heavy-handed, there was never any doubt that we were anywhere but Hong Kong.
All in all, I thoroughly recommend this book – it is an excellent summer read. Ladies: download it to read in the sun!
I'm claiming this book as No. tbc/150 in the Goodreads 2012 Reading Challenge; and No. 1 in the Second in Series Reading challenge..

Christian Maurer is one lucky man. I don't know if you followed the tweeting that was going on at the end of last week, but it looked like he had infringed the very strict air space regulations for which there was a one-day penalty. It turned out he had… but, his one-day penalty happened to take effect on a day when appalling weather was being experienced and no-one went anywhere fast and so he was able to maintain his huge lead.
Now that's luck!
"The chasing pilots are going to have to push like hell if they want to make it to Monaco before the deadline (48 hours after the winner gets in)," said Aiden Toase who is providing expert commentary throughout this competition. Toase has himself competed in three Red Bull X-Alps finishing 4th in 2009.
This is not a race for the faint-hearted. Watch the following videos and decide for yourself. Day Two first:
… and now Day 4
Wow, what magnificent scenery. And so to Day 5:
By Day 7 "The rankings are so close for the chasing gaggle that they do not mean much. With a bit of luck Honza Rejmanek, in 13th, could be challenging for 4th place tomorrow, with unpredictable weather and airspace to navigate all the ranking will get mixed up – it should be really exciting to watch this unfold," he added.
JPN2 at the tail-end were eliminated yesterday morning. The next tail-end elimination will happen at 0700 on the 26th. The pressure's on.
The Alps have been unkind. We are in July but they have been dealing out winter-like weather and a lot of snow, witness those videos. The athletes are having to put in "super-human levels of effort." say event organisers. "It's hard for people not here to really appreciate how horrible the last two days have been" says Jon Chambers (GBR2), currently in 5th position. "You have to work around the individual conditions that you face at the time, and it's very hard to compare routes with other athletes." Despite the conditions he is currently in 5th-position – not bad for a man who came into the race as a wildcard.
Yesterday was another horrible day. The wind, at 50kph was strong and unpredictable. Maurer found some shelter flying close to the hills and was able to do 30km an hour which was amazing, but even he was flying backwards occasionally. Commentators were stationed at a sailplane airstrip and no-one there was flying which is an indication of how bad it was. But this is Red Bull and the teams march on!
Ferdinand Van Schelven (NED) also managed a good flight yesterday and made up 20 km on second-placed Toma Coconea (BEL). These two are fighting hard for second place.
Today has dawned with promise. It looks like a high pressure zone is coming in. Weak, but better than what has been dished up in the last few days. The race is hotting up and getting more exciting by the minute. Maurer has just passed the Mont Blanc turnpoint. The following field are going balls out for Baghdad to catch up.

Are you tired of hearing about the weather?
Me too.
But I'm tireder of the weather itself.
Really tired.
I've been making valentines.
Valentines I thought would be so easy.
But they are not.
They're hard.
So hard I almost broke a 10 year old's heart.
I laughed at her valentine. Almost uncontrollably. Like when you are 14 and sitting by your best friends in church service and something makes you start giggling and you. Can't. Stop. Even when one of your parents is giving you the stink eye from across the church.
Because it was well,
But enough about valentines that I may or may not show you.
Let's talk about the corner shelf that I just finished.
About 2 years ago it looked like this
Good bones, but a little out of shape.
It belongs to my friend Jennifer
Way back then we started stripping it. In the mega-stripping event of January 2012. I finally finished stripping it in June 2012 when I finished stripping my china cabinet and finally escaped stripping hell.

Nintendo updated their Virtual Console schedule and here is what is coming to Japan in May:
Coming out on May 1st:
Exerion (Famicom – 500 Points)
Super Mario Brothers 2 (aka Super Mario Brothers: The Lost Levels) (Famicom – 500 Points)
Neutopia (PC-Engine- 600 Points)
Coming out later in May:
Famicom / Nintendo (500 Points)
Tsuppari Oozumou
Nintendo 64 (1,000 Points)
F-Zero X
Mega Drive / Genesis (600 Points for most)
Bare Knuckle 2: Shitou no Chinkon Uta (aka Streets of Rage 2)
Chameleon Kid (aka Kid Chameleon in the US)
Shining in the Darkness (*700 Points)
Hybrid Front (*700 Points)
PC-Engine / TurbroGrafx-16 (600 Points)
Saigo no Nindou (Ninja Spirit)
Out Live
Sengoku Mahjong
PC Genjin 3 (aka Bonk 3: Bonk's Big Adventure)
Battle Lode Runner
Air Zonk (delayed from last month's release schedule)
The Japanese list gives a glimpse of what we might see in North America next month. Two weeks back Sega announced Streets of Rage 2, Kid Chameleon, Shining in the Darkness and Toe Jam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron for North America. Since Japan is seeing three of the announced games next month, it's likely that North American Wii owners will have a chance to play Streets of Rage II and Shining in the Darkness in May too. There is only one Nintendo 64 game on the list and this month it's F-Zero X. Nintendo has typically released the sole Nintendo 64 game to all regions, which means there is a fair chance F-Zero X will be coming to North America and Europe in May.
What games on the list are you looking forward to?

Cortisone injections can be helpful for relieving pain but there are some things that you need to know.
Cortisone is a steroid hormone that is produced by your adrenal gland when you are in stressful situations. It is similar to cortisol, which is another stress hormone that you may be familiar with.
These and other hormones such as adrenaline are produced as part of your body's fight or flight response to stress. They can increase your heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure as as your body reacts to danger.
Cortisone will reduce inflammation; it also lowers pain and swelling that are part of the inflammatory response.
It is used to treat many different conditions. Cortisone injections can be given IV (intravenously), subcutaneously (under the skin), or intraarticularly (into a joint).
In some situations you may be given oral cortisone.
For the treatment of chronic pain, cortisone injections reduce pain by reducing swelling and inflammation.
Other similar synthetic preparations such as methylprednisolone and triamcinolone are also used and have the same effects as cortisone.
Back Muscle Pain???
You don't Need to Suffer
These Treatments will always make a difference
These medications can be injected into arthritic or inflamed joints to relieve pain. It is the chemicals involved in the inflammatory response that makes the nerves sensitive to painful stimuli.
By lowering inflammation and removing the inflammatory chemicals you can desensitize the nerves and reduce the pain that you feel.
The Problem is...
Reducing inflammation and relieving pain can make you feel better. However, the problem is cortisone injections do not fix the problem, and in many cases the inflammation will soon return along with the pain.
Cortisone injections can be more helpful in cases where something has caused a flare up of inflammation and pain.
Flareup of Acute Pain
If you are having a flare up of pain after a fall or after working in the garden all weekend cortisone injection can relieve your pain and inflammation and it will most likely not return until the next time you fall or work in the garden all weekend.
When your pain is located in one specific area such as your knee or your shoulder, your doctor may inject cortisone directly into the painful area.
In other situations when your pain and inflammation is more widespread oral cortisone may be given.
Cortisone injections are often used to treat:
• Arthritic joints
• Tendonitis
• Bursitis
• Spinal Stenosis
• Sciatica

Cortisone, whether it is given orally or by injection, can be very effective for relieving pain and inflammation but there are risks, especially with long-term use.
Cortisone injections can be very helpful for relieving pain but there are side effects and risks that you need to consider before agreeing to any treatment.
Injection Risks
Anytime you have an injection there is always a risk of bleeding, or infection, or damage to nerves. These risks can be minimized when injections are performed by trained personnel under sterile conditions.
Properly cleaning the injection site with alcohol or other cleaning solution, and then using new sterile equipment to perform the injection, greatly reduces the risk of infection.
Studying and understanding the anatomy allows your doctor, or other trained professional, to avoid damaging arteries, nerves, and other sensitive structures.
Medication Risks
Cortisone and other steroid medications relieve pain by reducing swelling and inflammation.
Unfortunately, they also reduce your immune response. When using injection therapies this reduction is very short term and not generally a problem.
However, oral preparations that are given consistently for long periods of time can cause a more dramatic and long lasting suppression of your immune system.
Difficult Healing
Immune suppression can make you more susceptible to viral and bacterial infections. It can also slow wound healing and make it difficult for you to heal even very small cuts and scratches.
• Osteoporosis(Weak bones)
• Hyperglycemia(High blood sugar)
• Weight Gain
• Weakened Ligaments and Tendons
• Mood Swings
• Skin Changes at the Injection Site
Most of these side effects are very manageable unless you have other conditions that are affecting your health.
•Poorly controlled diabetes can quickly become uncontrolled and dangerous with steroid treatments.
•If you already have osteoporosis steroids can increase your risk of fractures.
•If you are obese or overweight these medications can make the problem worse.
•If you have bipolar disorder or other mental health problems that are not well controlled these therapies may cause problems.
Cortisone and other steroid medications are very helpful for many people, and for some people they can be lifesaving, but you need to be aware of the risks and possible side effects.
If you have any concerns about how steroid treatments will affect you, you should make sure and discuss those with your doctor before starting any treatments.

Books Quotes in The Namesake
"Lucky boy," Ashoke remarks, turning the beautifully sewn pages. "Only a few hours old and already the owner of books." What a difference, he thinks, from the childhood he has known. Ashima thinks the same, though for different reasons. For as grateful as she feels for the company… these acquaintances are only substitutes for the people who really ought to be surrounding them. Without a single grandparent or parent or uncle or aunt at her side, the baby's birth, like most everything else in America, feels somehow haphazard, only half true. As she strokes and suckles and studies her son, she can't help but pity him. She has never known of a person entering the world so alone, so deprived.

There she joined his lab and remained a key collaborator in his work for six decades. The Vogt lab produced several pioneering studies that established correlations between specific brain regions and psychiatric symptoms. They collaborated so frequently that science historians have had a difficult time sorting out who took the lead on which project. However, the Vogts' impact on neurology was undeniable. They were fierce proponents of the anatomical model of psychiatric disease etiology.
The couple also had two daughters, Marthe and Marguerite, who went on to become well-respected scientists in their own right. Cecile Vogt continued to collaborate with her husband until his death in 1959. After that, she moved to Cambridge to be with her daughter Marthe in Cambridge, England. She died there in 1962.

Total nominations in public data base: 13 (Always along with her husband and lab head Oskar Vogt)
Nominated by: Robert Bárány (1922), Gustaf Bergmark (1922), Emil Holmgren (1922), Karl Kleist (1923 & 1929), Wilhelm Weygandt (1926), E Forster (1928), A Policard (1930), Franz Volhard (1950), P Vogel (1951), H Weber (1953), Th. Naegeli (1953), and Antonio Egas Moniz (1953)
- Pioneer in the cellular/mechanistic model of psychiatric dysfunction
- Helped debunk Victorian notion that "hysteria" was due to women's inherently emotional nature by demonstrating that many symptoms of psychiatric and mood disorders could be traced to anatomical features in the brain (e.g. the corpus striatum)
- Collaborated with her husband on a series of studies that linked specific areas in the neocortex to motor function
- Helped establish the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Brain Research, which later became the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research
Cécile Vogt and her husband, Oskar, who rarely published independently of each other, were the world leaders in neural "cytoarchitecture" (literally, the architecture of cells). When they set out on their careers in neurobiology, Sigmund Freud was all the rage, but their focus on neurobiology and the arrangement of brain cells helped drive the shift away from psychoanalysis to neurobiology.

Disclaimer: I am not a nutritionist, nor a food scientist. This blog post is not meant to be in favor of or against the ingredient it is regarding, it is simply presenting the facts so the reader can make his or her own decisions.
I'm going to start a little series within the blog where I can explore different aspects of food! I want to have a space to share favorite recipes, handy tricks, and information about the science of food. My husband, Matt Damon (well, his fairer-skinned doppelganger), is a food scientist. He is my Wikipedia of anything I want to know about ingredients and food processes. If he doesn't have the answer right away, he can always point me in the right direction.
I try to be fairly conscious of what I feed my family. I make meals from scratch when I can, but when I can't, there are prepackaged foods available and that is a miracle of modern science. Honestly, there are not enough hours in the day to make every single morsel of food that my family eats and that is OKAY! Hear me, moms? Packaged foods are how we survive with our sanity intact, so don't let anyone make you feel guilty about buying them.
I have a few ingredients that I try to avoid for personal preference reasons, but I'm not going to delve into that, because I want to remain unbiased about ingredients as I make these posts. Because of my preferences, I tend to be a label checker. Lately, I have noticed "soy lecithin" on several of the packaged items that I've bought. I asked my husband about what it was and why it was necessary. To explain it, he brought home the coolest food book ever: Ingredient: A Visual Exploration of 75 Additives & Food Products. This book served as my reference for this post.
What is soy lecithin? It is a leftover substance from the processing of soybean oil. It starts as a dark brown sludge, then water is removed with heat until it resembles molasses. It is further refined to a clear liquid, then processed into the form of granules or powders.
Now, why would we want to use these soybean oil leftovers? That's where the second word of the ingredient comes in: lecithin. Lecithin is an emulsifier (an ingredient that binds fat and water to prevent separation, helps ingredients mix smoothly, aids in dissolving, and controls crystallization) that was first known to be in eggs. 30% of an egg is lecithin!
Why do we see soy lecithin on so many processed foods? Commercial bakers use it because it helps extend the shelf life and quality of their products. Soy lecithin helps other ingredients to work together, mixing, dissolving, binding together, etc. It keeps chocolate smooth and non-hazy. It is the ingredient that keeps your peanut butter smooth and homogeneous instead of separated into peanut paste and oil. Above all, it is cheaper to extract the lecithin in large amounts from soy than from eggs.
So, if you're making bread at home, you will likely use eggs in the dough. Your family is going to devour the delicious bread before shelf life issues like drying out could even begin. If you are a commercial baker, your bread is not going to make it from oven to table before going bad. Soy lecithin can do the job of eggs, without the spoilage of eggs. That bread will make it to the consumer's table in the same condition it left the commercial bakery.
Do you have any mystery ingredients in your food? Comment with your food question and I'll see what we can find out!

Daily Tele Faces Backlash Over Homophobic Front Cover
The recent front cover of The Daily Telegraph has copped a Twitter beat down after it accused schools of brainwashing students with 'gay propaganda'.
To celebrate Wear It Purple Day, an annual event to combat bullying against young LGBTI people in schools on August 28th, Burwood Girls High School planned a screening of the recent documentary about Aussie kids with same-sex parents Gayby Baby.
The front page of The Daily Tele said that parents were 'outraged' that their kids were being subjected to the screening of the doco:
The Daily Telegraph – Wednesday 26 August 2015 #DailyTelegraphpic.twitter.com/njB9PpeVKt
— Front Pages (@AusFrontPage) August 26, 2015
The Tele also included Piers Akerman's article titled "Gay Push Should Be Kept Out Of Schools" which featured the photo below. Akerman's article attacks the "fantasy that homosexual families are the norm" and accuses the Burwood Girls High principal Mia Kumar of "embracing political propagandists who have seized her school's agenda."
Following The Daily Telegraph's front page the NSW government banned schools from screening Gayby Baby. The NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli said NSW schools will not be showing the film during school hours to "avoid students missing out on class".
NSW Premier Mike Baird said: "I understand the intent of that is to provide an example of tolerance and that's something I absolutely support. Should it be in class time? No, I don't think so. Should it be optional? Yes, I do think so."
Twitter has been heaping its anger onto The Daily Telegraph and the NSW government:

Baby dies after falling down NYC elevator shaft in stroller
A 6-week-old baby is dead after her stroller fell down an elevator shaft in Brooklyn, reports CBS New York.
It happened around 10:40 a.m. Thursday at an apartment building on Neptune Avenue in the Sea Gate area of Brooklyn, N.Y.r.
The child's 21-year-old mother said she unintentionally pushed the baby, who was in her stroller, into an empty elevator shaft on the 23rd floor.
The stroller plunged eight floors, landing on top of the stalled elevator car.
When officers arrived, police said they found little Areej Ali unconscious and unresponsive.
The baby was pronounced dead at Coney Island Hospital. The medical examiner will determine cause of death.
The elevator was out of service. It is unclear if maintenance workers were on the site at the time.
The investigation is ongoing.

Amorphis 10.9.2010 @ Puikkari
Our week of seeing good live acts ended with Amorphis playing live in Puikkari (review and pictures of Suburban Tribe coming soon). Which meant another drive to Kuopio, but what wouldn't we do to see Amorphis live. In fact, we were considering a crazy drive to Oulu in early August just to see them and drive back the same night to make to a dog show the next morning… This was the fourth time we've seen them live (Kuopio Rock 2009, Kohti rokkia 2008). I've shot every time, but still haven't gone through the pictures of them playing in Kellari last November. I blame breaking my hand the next day for my procrastination ;)

What if you could print one photo all around the world?
LifePrint has a crazy idea. What if you could not only share a photo through social media — which is so 2015 — but also as a physical print to friends and family around the world, all at once, without physically mailing anything?
That's the core concept behind LifePrint, an upstart company with a pocket-sized printer and some unusual augmented reality software. The printer will cost $149 and the special prints cost around 40 cents apiece.
The company envisions you and your friends all owning their tiny, portable printers and being connected through the company's free app. You can send, via Bluetooth connection, regular photos to the printer or choose frames from social media like Vines and Instagram videos. When you print the photo, you can choose to send the print to all your LifePrint connected friends, too. On their end, they see that they have new prints in their inbox and can choose to print them (or not).
That sounds like fun, but LifePrint adds a little more sizzle to the whole interaction. If you look at the prints through the app, whatever video source is connected to them plays on top of the real image (augmented-reality-style, of course).
So if you send an iPhone Live Photo print to someone, they can point their phone's camera at the print, select the video icon and then see the few seconds of video associated with the image through the app. This may remind some of the $150 Prynt Case Raymond Wong reviewed a few weeks ago, which also prints augmented reality images, but unlike LifePrint, Prynt Case is actually a case for your iPhone — and a printer, of course.
To load 10 to 12 print sheets into the top, you flip up one side and slide them in. The printer has just two ports on it for USB and power and then the slot where the finished print will appear. All 2x3-inch photos print at a resolution of 978x652. It takes 45 minutes to charge and lasts for about 15 prints. So if you were thinking of taking it to a big party, you may want to bring the charger, too.
In the demos I've seen, all of this appears to work pretty well. However, despite hitting its KickStarter goal in two days (it launched on Nov. 15, 2015), the product is still months from shipping and company CEO Robert Macauley still couldn't let me shoot a Vine and choose a frame on my own to print. Plus, the hardware, which looks pretty sharp, is still a work in progress.
Macauley tells me that the product is not for middle-aged men like me, it's for teens, the Snapchat set who love to share social media and photos, but have no easy way to share prints that they can even stick onto the back of their smartphones.
Only time will tell, however, whether LifePrint will succeed and convince not just you, but a bunch of your friends to buy the printer and connect to each other.

I made a beeline for Nintendo's booth as soon as E3's showfloor opened. (Bizarrely, this is actually the first official show day.) The company had wrapped up its big Nintendo Direct presentation just an hour earlier, so I knew exactly what was on the table: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. (Oh and the first chance to play Pokémon Let's Go!) Nintendo has a strong booth game, too, so that's a happy bonus, with a pretty hilarious faux museum exhibition of Smash Bros. weapons which included Princess Peach's gloves, a legendary sword or two and Bayonetta's own specs.

New 'Predictive' Research makes Scottish Tourism Sector Smarter
Tourism in Scotland is vitally important to the economy; it contributes £6 billion to Scottish GDP every year and accounts for around 8% of employment. But can 'smart technology' and data help develop tourism and, crucially, ensure visitors have a great experience here? How can the tourism industry harness current opportunities and achieve further growth?
An innovative new project in Glasgow has recently concluded a pilot phase, looking at how cities can develop a more accurate view of tourist demand and booking patterns, using flight search data. Glasgow City Marketing Bureau have led a project using data from Skyscanner (the online flight-search site) to identify the demographic of tourists coming to cities in the future, so they can inform tourism businesses of this to allow better tailoring of marketing and product offering. The pilot project was funded through The Data Lab, one of Scotland's Innovation Centres backed by £124 million of investment from the Scottish Funding Council.
In partnership with other data-sets including hotel occupancy, events calendars, city centre footfall and data from transport partners, researchers looking at this data can ascertain certain information about who wants to visit Glasgow, where are they coming from, when they are coming and predicting the possible impacts for the city. The predictive analytics will be plugged into a city tourism 'dashboard', developed by a University of Strathclyde team, and used to inform Scotland's tourism industry to help target and optimise marketing. The dashboard will provide a near real-time resource that can be used to aid decision-making in tourism, city centre, events and transport strategies, optimising service delivery and generating economic development. A key innovative part of this project is that the data being looked at is predictive; until now, the tourism bureau was working with historic data to predict future patterns, which tended to be unreliable.
This project has been hugely exciting, demonstrating the immense potential for harnessing the data we increasingly have access to in smart ways, to make a real impact on the continued growth and success of tourism in Scotland.

The title alone of this book will make kids (and adults too) giggle with laughter! This is a darling, comical hardcover book written by Hannah C. Hall. Illustrated by Bill Bolton.
The book takes a look at comical things that a variety of animals might do, asking the reading in a question. Would a ladybug wear lipstick? Would a turtle drive a truck?
All a bit absurd to think about, but the illustrations will have little ones laughing out loud.
Each animal is not designed to do the thing that is in question, and it is funny to consider them doing it. Each answer explains why that wouldn't be feasible for the animal as well.
My 11 year old thought the book was great fun to read to her toddler sister. The toddler loved seeing the funny animals in the book and the things they were doing. Even at her young age she had an inkling that pigs shouldn't be playing the piano!
God designed these amazing creatures that "act just as they should'. God wasn't finished yet, and he created YOU!
What a beautiful story that leads up to you being a masterpiece design! Great book geared for ages 4-7 but enjoyed for a much broader age range!

I'm going to answer some of the question you guys asked on my blog!
This time, how effective off season training is.
Hi, Sensei.
I've heard that skateboarding and the trampoline are good as off season practice but, which one do you think is better? I'd really like to know!
It's a good question.
These two activities are well known for improving your snowboarding skills during the off season.
But why do these 2 in particular help you improve?
Knowing the reason will surely help you further improve.
Common points between skateboarding and snowboarding are:
Skateboarding helps out with your balance and movement control, which can translate to free riding and approaching to the jump in snowboarding.
In short, it helps you strengthen your base of support while you're riding thanks to no bindings on skateboard. I think this is the biggest pay off you can get from skateboarding.
Doing an ollie while skateboarding certainly isn't simple, but if you're even an intermediate snowboarder you've probably already done them on the snow.
Jumping with both feet while snowboarding (called a pop) is good, but if you can do an ollie it's possible to further improve your control.
Also if you're advanced enough, your movement when you spin while skateboarding can be of tremendous help to your spin tricks when you're snowboarding.
That being said, you don't have to focus too much on it if you want to train off season.
Now then, what about the trampoline?
It's pretty simple really.
Jumping on the trampoline helps you with control mid air.
Unlike skateboarding, when you use the trampoline your feet aren't touching the ground much and you spend most of your time floating mid air.
This won't help you with improving your base of support but it's the best possible way to get more control mid air.
At a ski resort you may jump into the air about 10 times every five minutes or so, but with a trampoline you'll be jumping upwards of 30 time every minute.
There's no better way to jump into the air repeatedly in such a short amount of time.
You should practice on the trampoline even during winter!
I wish you all happy practice with no broken bones or anything! Practice tons and show the fruit of your labor in the winter!
Here is summery.
If you don't have a trampoline around you and skateboarding with you, don't worry, we can help you with other way to train.

Do You Need Dog Grooming in Deerfield Beach?
Our furry friends need love and attention just like owners. When they're starting to let their hair grow out ferociously, or their skin looks a little irritated, it may be time to look for grooming services in Deerfield Beach. Various steps are involved in the process of dog grooming, but we tread carefully, so we make every experience enjoyable for the pet the entire time.
Our Dog Grooming Services in Deerfield Beach
Initial Assessment – First and foremost, your dog's hair will be examined for any knots, mattes, and fleas or ticks. Other parts of the body that need to be accounted for include eyes, nose, teeth, and paws. Once everything is taken into account, then the groomer can start with the proper services.
What You Can Expect – Depending on the groomers recommendation and what the owner is looking for will determine the haircut given. Along with that, owners can opt for cutting and grinding nails, cleaning out ears, and brushing teeth. It may seem like a bit much, but if your dog needs a little extra gentle care, then grooming is a safe place for that to take place.
Safety – A massive portion of grooming dogs is how groomers go about making sure the environment is safe and secure for the pets. Some tips include keeping clippers and scissors tucked away in a drawer, keeping shampoo and conditioner away from the eyes in case of irritation, and inquiring about any allergies or physical conditions beforehand to accommodate accordingly.
TLC Pet Boarding
Frequently and regularly scheduled grooming services keep your dog looking and feeling fresh. For puppies, it introduces them into a world of receiving a bath, cutting their newly grown nails, and experiencing their first haircut. For older dogs, after receiving the services for many years, it can be a relaxing and calming experience. If you would like to schedule grooming services in Deerfield Beach right away, please give us a call at (954) 295 – 5050 today!Deerfield Beach Pet BoardingDeerfield Beach Dog Training

The young stars of the year's funniest global home video have been transformed into a cartoon by a Brooklyn couple hoping that the precocious kids will be just as cute in two dimensions.
The two children, Marion and James Kelly, who became a brief obsession for the internet-using world when they adorably interrupted their father's BBC interview in March, are the inspiration for a new cartoon featuring their likenesses, as well as those of their parents, Robert E. Kelly and Kim Jeong-ah.
The show, "The Adventures of Mina & Jack," consists of only one short episode at the moment, though another is in the works. The characters' names have been changed, but their images are unmistakable, and the episode features a brief tribute to the viral moment that brought it into being. So far, it can only be seen on YouTube, and no major (or minor) outlet has signed up to distribute it.
Marion became a favorite of viewers the world over when she strolled into the room where her father, fated to be known forever after as the "BBC Dad," was conducting an interview about South Korean politics. She was closely trailed by her infant brother, who was in a walker. Mr. Kelly chose to continue the interview; at the end of the clip, his wife dashes in, sliding across the floor and almost falling in her effort to remove the kids from the room.
Lauren Martin, who used to write for Elite Daily and is now a producer who helps create content at Complex, pronounced herself "obsessed" with the clip in an interview on Thursday, saying that she thought she had watched the video "like 100 times."
"I just love Marion," Ms. Martin, 26, said. "I just love her."
She and her boyfriend, Jarryd Mandy, who live in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, decided that the world needed more of the Kelly kids. Originally they had planned to write a children's book, but decided the project would be better as a cartoon. The couple contracted a studio, Raxo, to make a pilot episode. Here it is.
The Williamsburg couple decided not to seek the family's blessing before they had a finished product, and sent the first cartoon to Mr. Kelly with bated breath.
But he declared himself a fan, even retweeting the video from his Twitter account, amid posts about French politics, the South Korean election and the nuclear threat posed by North Korea.
Mr. Kelly and his family are still using Skype, as he was when the original interview mishap took place. They used the platform to talk to the Brooklyn couple on Wednesday night, Ms. Martin said. Mr. Kelly is now officially a consultant for the cartoon, and the family will have some creative control.
If the show manages to make money, Ms. Martin said, the Kellys will also receive some of the royalties, though she admitted "we haven't really gotten that far."
Mina and Jack, the names for the Marion and James characters in the cartoon, have so far only had one adventure in "North Africa," where they accompanied their father and helped foil a gold thief. Marion is the star of the show; James is her sidekick and her father is portrayed as a clumsy but lovable idiot.
The pilot lasts just over three minutes. Ms. Martin said that she and Mr. Mandy have spent a significant amount of their savings on the second episode.

The Madison Area Transportation Planning Board was created through an agreement between the Governor and the City of Madison, and other municipalities in the Madison Urban Area making up over 80% of the population. The agreement which became effective May 2, 2007, redesignated the MPO for the Madison Area in accordance with Federal law. The Madison Area Transportation Planning Board assumed the responsibility to conduct transportation planning and programming for the metropolitan area from the previous MPO, the Madison Area MPO, following the MPO's reorganization. MPOs have served the Madison Urban Area since 1973.
Areawide transportation planning in the Madison area dates back to 1961, just prior to the time federal statutes began to require a "3C" (continuing, comprehensive and cooperative) planning process as a condition of federal transportation financial assistance.

Less than a day after being charged with domestic violence, Chris Dunkley has been handed punitive measures by the football program.
In a release sent out Sunday night, the Bulls announced that the wide receiver has been indefinitely suspended as a result of charges that were filed against him Saturday night.
"Our players have an obligation to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner on and off the field," USF head coach Skip Holtz said in a statement. "Due to the serious nature of this matter, we have suspended Chris indefinitely from all team activities."
Dunkley was charged with domestic violence battery Saturday night, just a couple of hours after the Bulls' home loss to Florida State. The Tampa Tribune offered up a few details of what led to Dunkley's arrest and the subsequent charge:
According to deputies, Dunkley was arrested for an incident that took place Sept. 21 at about 7:20 p.m. inside the apartment he shares with his girlfriend. That night, Dunkley and his girlfriend began to argue and at some point it turned physical, the report said.
The girlfriend, whose identity was not released by the sheriff's office, was thrown to the floor and beaten on her arms, causing bruises, the report said. A short time later Dunkley pulled the woman by her hair, according to the report, forcing her into a closet. Deputies said he beat her with a computer cord on the back of her thighs, which left cuts.
In the report, deputies said there is a "strong likelihood of repeat violence."
After sitting out the 2011 season following his transfer from Florida, Dunkley this season had four receptions for 93 yards and a touchdown.

The last level, S5, is being defined by block-like terrain with sections where you face sudden ascends, fields of debris and boulder or landslides. You will also find loop-like rough turns and passages of higher platforms followed by obstacles like fallen trees – all of this (awesomeness) mixed up with great steepness.
In case you were doubting there are almost no longer runs and braking distances. Some obstacles are even that difficult that carrying your bike isn't the easiest thing.
Let us know if you're a S5 hero/-ine!!!

When RL78/G1D is used with host MCU, host MCU needs to wait about 1sec+ after RL78/G1D reset release before sending the API to RL78/G1D.
This wait time is required due to the stabilization time of 32kHz crystal on RL78/G1D for slow clock.
FYI. The default setting for the wait time is set 1sec in the application layer source code. Actual execution of this wait time is done inside the stack.
