Click Here To Purchase From Amazon The Beginners Guide to Acrylics: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide to Techniques and Materials
Author: Angela Gair
Publishers: New Holland Publishers and distributed by Sterling Publishing
Although painting with quick-drying acrylic paints may at first seem to be a relatively simple process, one glance through Angela Gairs Beginners Guide to Acrylics makes the reader realize the myriad of unique possibilities found within this versatile medium.
As with her other books in the Beginners Guide series, Gair introduces Acrylics with a very knowledgeable history. Acrylics were first used prominently by artist Diego Rivera who needed a sturdy medium with which to paint some commissioned outdoor murals. Gair also relates that more artists, most notably Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol similarly found acrylic painting perfectly suited to their artistic needs.
How was one type of paint equally able to suit three such diverse artists as Rivera, Pollock and Warhol? The answer to this question is discovered as the book progresses. While reading through the beautiful and clearly illustrated Materials and Equipment section, one realizes that, depending on how it is applied and combined with other elements, there are many ways to utilize acrylic paint.
And if that section is not enough to convince the reader of the versatility of this medium, the 10 Techniques chapters each filled with Gairs elegant, thorough instructions and clear step-by-step accompanying photographs will indeed do so. These 10 techniques are not, of course, the final word on acrylic painting, but they are so very different from one another (Painting Alla Prima and Antiquing are just two) that they are sure to not only point the novice in the right direction but will certainly be a useful reference and inspiration for those more experienced with acrylics..

We take a look at the varied career of Everard Im Thurn through his correspondence with the Directors of Kew, and find out about his exploration of the 'lost world' of Mount Roraima in British Guiana.

Before we started contributing to this blog, our team published some interesting finds from the Directors' Correspondence in Kew's staff magazine, VISTA. We came across these stories recently and thought they were deserving of a wider audience.
"Will no one explore Roraima and bring us back the tidings which it has been waiting these thousands of years to give us?" The Spectator, April 1877
Early explorers in Latin America spoke of mysterious mountains towering above the jungles and reaching into the clouds. These dramatic sandstone mesas are called tepuis and are some of the world's oldest rock formations. Mount Roraima is the tallest such tepui, lying where the borders of Guyana (formerly British Guiana), Brazil, and Venezuela meet. Its flat summit reaches over 9,000 feet with high cliffs dramatically maintaining its isolation.
Tantalizing tales of the attempted exploration of this mountain and the failure of anyone to reach its summit fuelled Victorian speculation as to what might lie at the top of the ancient plateau, and inspired Kew's then Director, Sir Joseph Hooker, to use his influence to support an expedition. In 1884 Everard Im Thurn, an author, explorer, botanist and anthropologist of Swiss extraction and the Magistrate in Pomeroon at the time, led a team that became the first to reach Roraima's summit and their success paved the way for further scientific explorations.

The Directors' Correspondence collection contains letters regarding the details of Im Thurn's expedition and also letters from his friends and colleagues, W.H. Campbell and G.S. Jenman. From plant specimens sent back to England, staff at Kew identified over 50 species new to science such as Bonnetia roraimae.
Specimens of Bonnetia roraimae collected by Im Thurn in 1884, (top) and by Quelch and McConnell who followed in Im Thurn's footsteps in 1894 and 1898 (bottom) (RBG Kew, K000221146)
Reports from Early Victorian expeditions to Roraima are thought to have inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's imperial adventure yarn The Lost World (1912) based around an expedition to a plateau in Venezuela where prehistoric animals had survived. On his return from the summit of Roraima, Im Thurn authored several works related to his travels. Everard pursued a career as a colonial administrator, culminating in a position as Governor of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). He maintained a high profile in British scientific circles throughout his life, was a prolific contributor to popular and scientific journals, and was President of the Royal Anthropological Institute.
Im Thurn's correspondence with the Directors of Kew spans his long career and offers an insight into the kind of botanical material he exchanged, the gifts he sent to the museum at Kew, his botanical interests, and his thoughts on matters as varied as publishing and the division of country boundaries. His letters demonstrate a great love for Guyana and even in 1887 he discusses the rapid rate at which the unexplored interior of British Guiana is disappearing and his fears that the native peoples could soon vanish. Whilst in London in 1900 he wrote to then director Thiselton-Dyer:
"I walked home tonight through Piccadilly and had my attention called by my companion to the shops – but I was quite homesick for my bush paths and longed for the chance of meeting either a crapaud [frog] or a jaguar or something interesting." Directors' Correspondence 204/366 (RBG Kew)
Im Thurn was also a keen amateur photographer and sent several photographs to Kew, including this photograph of Catasetums, a type of Orchid, growing in his Guyana garden.

Im Thurn's varied and exciting career is an important part of the Cross-cultural Histories of Tropical Botany in Latin America project being under taken at Kew by Sara Albuquerque. You can search Kew's digitised Im Thurn correspondence via the JSTOR Plant Science website.

Flea Control in the Indoor Environment
Flea Control in the Outdoor Environment
Flea Control on Your Pet
Keep in mind that until all of the fleas in your home have died, you will probably still see some fleas, even on a treated pet, since some immature forms may continue to develop. This is especially true if you had a big flea problem to start with. Persistence is the key here. It is essential to keep following an effective flea control program for a long enough time to get rid of all of the fleas, in all life stages. This may take several months to a year, depending on your particular situation.
Following an effective flea control program is the only way to win the fight against a flea infestation. Keep up with the steps outlined above, and your pet and your home will eventually be flea-free. After winning the battle of controlling an existing flea problem, we're sure you will agree that the best flea control strategy is always flea prevention.

What is the Sleeve Gastrectomy?
What are the risks associated with weight loss surgery?
What are other benefits of weight loss surgery?
What can I expect following a weight loss procedure?

Will it be necessary to take supplements after weight loss surgery?
What if my insurance company requires a presurgical diet program?
What happens during the pre–surgery visit?
Weight loss surgery could be for you if you:
Houston Methodist Willowbrook Surgical Weight Loss Center provides a specially trained staff of nutritionists, dieticians and counselors for ongoing support to bariatric patients both before and after weight loss surgery. There are several Houston Methodist available for the surgical treatment of obesity. We specialize in laparocopic weight–loss surgeries including adjustable gastric lap banding, the LAP–BAND®, as well as the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and the Sleeve Gastrectomy.
Among the less invasive weight loss surgeries currently available, the LAP–BAND® procedure, also known as adjustable gastric banding, is designed to restrict food intake by placing an adjustable silicone band around the upper portion of the stomach, creating a small pouch able to hold approximately two ounces of food.
A restrictive procedure, the LAP–BAND® system does not involve stapling or the surgical manipulation of the gastrointestinal tract. Under local anesthesia, the procedure is performed laparoscopically through small incisions. An adjustable silicone band, or ring, is safely placed around the upper portion of the stomach, creating a small "pocket" at the top of the stomach that limits the amount of food that can be consumed. Additionally, a tube connected to an access port and placed beneath the skin during surgery allows your surgeon to modify the size of the ring in order to ensure successful weight loss. These adjustments are also referred to as "fills."
The Roux–en–Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) is among the most frequently performed weight loss procedures in the United States and one of the weight loss surgeries offered at the Methodist Willowbrook Surgical Weight Loss Center. Named after Swiss surgeon César Roux, who first began using the Y–shaped loop technique in gastrointestinal surgeries in 1892, the RYGB is a malabsorptive, restrictive procedure designed to redirect food to a pouch surgically created in the stomach, bypassing part of the small intestine.
The first part of RYGB entails the creation of a small pouch in the stomach, restricting the amount of food that can be consumed. The larger part of the stomach is then separated from the pouch though not removed. The small intestine just below the duodenum is divided, the jejunum portion is then brought up and connected to the newly created pouch and the duodenum is reconnected to the new intestinal limb – forming a "Y" shape. Bypassing the duodenum prevents the absorption of calories and nutrients, which results in weight loss.
The Sleeve Gastrectomy, or Gastric Sleeve, is a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure that promotes weight loss by permanently removing two–thirds of the stomach (the new stomach looks like a "sleeve," or tube), while preserving the pylorus. The pylorus is the valve that regulates the emptying of the stomach. Retaining the pylorus allows food to trickle slowly out and causes patients to feel full with a small amount of food.
Once the large portion of the stomach is surgically removed following the greater curvature of the stomach, the open edges are attached with staples to form a "sleeve" or tube – permanently reducing the size of the stomach. The stomach is reduced by 85 percent, holding approximately two to five ounces of food and lowering daily caloric intake. Since there is no modification to the bowel, Dumping Syndrome is not as common and there is less nutrient malabsorption after surgery. The elimination of the majority of the stomach also results in the reduction of hunger-causing hormones produced within the stomach.
Performed under local anesthesia, the Sleeve Gastrectomy entails approximately five small incisions and takes about an hour to perform. There is no nasogastric tube or drain, allowing patients to return to work and daily activities in about two weeks following the surgery.
The minimally invasive laproscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is a good weight loss option for patients with less weight to lose. It may also be performed to initiate weight loss and help less stable morbidly obese patients achieve a healthier state before a more extensive procedure can safely be performed.
Patients with a high Body Mass Index may require follow up surgery in order to reach their weight loss goals. Complications from stomach stapling may occur. Other risks and complications may include; deep vein thrombosis, ulcers, gastric leakage and fistula, pulmonary embolus, ulcers & dyspepsia.
Following adjustable gastric banding, patients consume a liquid–only diet and gradually resume consumption of solid foods according to their specific weight management plan. The first fill is not made until the stomach heals from surgery, approximately six weeks following surgery. Adjustments to the gastric band are made four to six times in the first year, in order to ensure optimal fit and encourage continued weight loss. Band adjustments are painless and generally made during a regular office visit. Weight loss associated with the LAP–BAND® is more gradual than with some other weight loss surgeries, about five to 10 pounds a month.
As with an surgery, there are operative and long-term complications and risks associated with weight-loss surgical procedures that should be discussed with your doctor. Possible risks include, but are not limited to, leaks from staple line breakdown, deep vein thrombosis, bleeding, complications due to anesthesia and medications, dehiscence, infections, marginal ulcers, spleen injury and stenosis. Prior to the weight loss procedure, your surgeon will thoroughly discuss all risks and concerns as well as the precautions that are taken to minimize them.
Aside from reducing risk of life-threatening obesity–related conditions, weight loss surgery patients also report increased energy and resumption of physical activity, a more positive outlook and improved self image. Weight loss surgery combined with a life–long commitment to a healthier, more active lifestyle will improve overall quality of life.
The actual weight a patient will lose after the procedure is dependent on several factors, including:
The weight loss team at The Methodist Willowbrook Surgical Weight Loss Center work to educate patients on the best diet for optimal results. Patients undergoing the LAP–BAND® procedure can expect in the first year a gradual weight loss of between one to three pounds per week. Those undergoing the Roux–en–Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) generally experience more rapid weight loss in the first six months to a year following surgery. Those undergoing a Sleeve Gastrectomy can expect to lose 30 to 50 percent of their excess weight the first year following the procedure.
Long–term results depend on the ongoing commitment bariatric patients make to diet and lifestyle modifications. A maintained weight loss of 50 to 60 percent of excess weight is possible.
It is important that weight loss patients remember that eating behaviors must permanently change in order to sustain the loss. Despite the procedure, it is possible to regain weight lost if a nutritional diet, smaller portions and consistent exercise program are not sustained. There are many behavioral issues that impact one's food and lifestyle choices, and the weight loss team at The Methodist Willowbrook Surgical Weight Loss Center is available to help put these issues into proper perspective. The monthly support groups are caring and compassionate health professionals working in the fields of nursing, mental health, nutrition and physical fitness.
Following weight loss surgery, the quality of your diet will change. Weight loss surgery patients are encouraged to consume a nutritional diet that is low in fat and sugar and high in protein. Resumption of solid food is gradual. Patients generally begin with clear liquids and build slowly to a regular, low-–fat diet as tolerated. This progression reduces post surgical complications and builds gastrointestinal tolerance and a successful recovery.
Immediately following the weight loss procedure, patients will sip approximately one to two ounces of clear liquids every hour. This may include water, flavored broth, sugar–free fruit–flavored beverages and decaffeinated, non–carbonated drinks. During the first month, bariatric patients slowly progress to semi–solid, low–fiber foods – building to a regular diet of smaller proportions.
While portions at each stage of recovery will increase, they should always remain relatively small – approximately eight ounces, or one cup, per meal. Gastrointestinal tolerance and food sensitivities following weight loss surgery will vary among individuals. Patients are encouraged to slowly resume foods eaten prior to weight loss surgery, in order to assess how well they are tolerated following the procedure.
A clinical dietitian will meet prior to surgery in order to discuss post surgery and ongoing dietary changes, as well as review nutrition education handouts designed specifically for bariatric patients.
Following weight loss surgery, fluids should no longer be consumed with food. Fluids should be consumed between meals, approximately 30 to 60 minutes before and after – as drinking fluids with meals may cause uncomfortable side effects by expanding the stomach pouch or forcing foods through the intestine at a more rapid rate resulting in Dumping Syndrome and/or vomiting.
Fluids should consist of water, broth, or sugar-free beverages (e.g., Crystal Light®), sugar–free gelatin and popsicles (no fruit pieces), milk and soy milk. Caffeinated and carbonated beverages should be avoided. Caffeine is an appetite stimulant and a diuretic. It can also interfere with mineral absorption such as calcium. Carbonation can cause the stomach pouch to expand and result in discomfort. Alcohol is also discouraged as caloric intake is reduced following weight loss surgery and those contained in alcohol are considered "empty" calories. The calories consumed should be of the highest nutritional value possible. Weight loss surgery patients are also encouraged to keep a water bottle during the day, drinking frequently though slowly.
Since all weight loss procedures restrict caloric intake, it is important to choose quality calories and foods and fluids rich in nutrients and protein. Weight loss surgery patients are encouraged to eat a low–fat, high-protein diet, consuming approximately 70 grams of protein per day from foods and fluids. While protein intake is limited by the restricted diet immediately following surgery and during initial recovery, it should be prevalent in the fluids and solid foods incorporated over time. Protein can be found in abundance in meat, poultry, fish, beans and legumes, low–fat cheese, low–fat tofu, and light yogurt. Grains and vegetables contain a smaller amount of protein though are rich in other important vitamins and minerals. Meals can also be supplemented with protein powders (e.g., 100% whey protein isolate, soy protein isolate) or protein drinks (e.g., Isopure® and "no sugar added" Carnation Instant Breakfast®). The clinical dietitians at The Methodist Willowbrook Surgical Weight Loss Center are available to consult on high protein supplements and food sources. They will educate and assist both you and your family in following the postoperative dietary guidelines.
Bariatric surgery patients are at risk for malnutrition. Vitamin supplements may be required as part of an ongoing, lifelong nutritional program, as weight loss surgery restricts caloric intake and changes food tolerances, inhibiting absorption of important vitamins and minerals required daily. In order to permit weight loss and sustain optimal health, vitamin and protein supplementation may be recommended.
The weight loss team of licensed dieticians and surgeons at The Methodist Willowbrook Surgical Weight Loss Center, along with the type of surgical procedure performed, will determine which type of supplement program should be incorporated into your diet after assessing your specific health goals and nutritional needs.
Some insurance companies may require a pre-surgical diet program as part of the criteria that must be met before qualifying for weight loss surgery. This may entail a three to six–month program that includes consulting with a registered dietitian on healthy eating and the type of lifestyle changes required following weight loss surgery. The program focuses on exercise, healthy food selection and meal planning as well as behavior modification.
The pre–surgical diet program is intended to:
Your bariatric surgeon may also order a pre–surgical nutrition program if weight loss is required prior to surgery – time frame and/or weight loss goals determined by the surgeon and based on each patient's particular situation.
A pre–surgical diet program can be scheduled by calling the Weight Management Center at 832-667-LOSE (5673).
Bariatric patients meet with a physician and the weight loss team prior to surgery in order to confirm that weight loss surgery is the best option and that the risks and diet and lifestyle modifications that accompany bariatric surgery are well understood. Among the evaluations performed is a psychological evaluation, which includes an interview with the psychotherapist, who will examine psychosocial history and coping skills – important factors in dealing with lifestyle changes following bariatric surgery. A nutritional evaluation is also performed by a clinical dietitian and entails a review of nutritional history, current dietary and lifestyle habits, and post–surgery expectations.
At this visit, patients receive a bariatric surgery guide outlining nutritional parameters, as well as information on the pre-surgical diet program if it is required by your insurance or physician. Patients are also required to attend a 90–minute comprehensive nutrition class covering diet after bariatric surgery. The class schedule is given at the evaluation session.
The bariatric program nurse will then check blood pressure and anthropometrics (e.g., weight, height), as well as administer an H. Pylori (Helicobacter pylori) breath test if requested by the surgeon. This helps determine the presence of bacteria that can cause stomach and duodenal (small intestine) ulcers in some individuals; it has also been linked to certain stomach cancers. The H. Pylori breath test is an important test to perform prior to weight loss surgery, as once the stomach is stapled shut, H. pylori is difficult to treat. The breath test is performed on an empty stomach (no food or drink including no water and chewing gum for one hour prior to the test).
The nurse should be notified prior to the appointment if any of the following drugs have been taken:
A pre–surgery photograph is also taken during this visit.

Well I have a 2 mnth old and at one point i was exclusively breastfeeding. When he was born he was only 4lb 10 oz(he was born on time) so when I was in the hospital they gave him glucose water and gave him bottles against my wishes, well after i corrected this breeastfeeding was easy and i produced more than enough milk but some weird things happened about maybe a week ago and i had to stop breastfeeding but since everything is ok i've started breastfeeding again but i do not produce nearly enough milk or even produce often during the day so i end up having to give him a bottle to make sure he eats enough what do i do to start producing enough milk again?
The best way to increase your milk supply is to let him breastfeed every 2-4 hours around the clock. Do not take even one feeding off. Once he is done breastfeeding, you can try to offer him a bottle as a supplement to ensure that he is getting enough milk a couple times a day. Soon, your milk supply will increase to meet his demands, especially if he is nursing every 2-4 hours. Talk to your doctor if things continue to get rough or if you feel like he isn't gaining weight appropriately. Also, remember to increase your water intake...milk production is very dependent on water. Good luck and remember, you can always call the Le Leche League if you need any advice.
How long were you exclusively breastfeeding? When you had to stop, were you on medication? If so, you have to first consult with your doctor to make sure when you can begin breastfeeding again. You need to breastfeed often to increase your milk suppy again; however, it may never be the same. Do not be discouraged. Breastfeeding is excellent for babies, but formulas provide enough nutrients so that you baby will grow strong and healthy. Although you plan was to breastfeed only, this little detour is just a blip in the road. Talk with you OB and she may refer you to a lactation consultant.

April 21, 2014
We need rain. Badly.
Even though our yearly rainfall deficit is small, the overall picture of our water table isn't good. For the year our rainfall deficit is 1.40" below normal, and while that may not seem like a large number the lack of snow this past winter and rain have led to the dry conditions. Then again, your nose and sinuses have probably told you how dry it's been long before anyone threw some numbers at you. The dry conditions have allowed for very high tree pollen levels over the last few days.
The combination of gusty winds, very dry air, and very low fuel moisture has prompted a red flag warning for all of central Virginia today. While outdoor burning is illegal before 4pm, outdoor burning is DISCOURAGED altogether given that fires may spread very quickly due to the extremely dry conditions. For those of you who smoke, please also be careful where you dispose of your cigarette butts. It won't take much to get a fire started and spread quickly!
Overall, our forecast for the next seven days will be dry. A few isolated showers are possible today as a weak cold front moves across the area, but you can leave the umbrellas in the closet from Tuesday through the coming weekend. Temperatures will be cool through Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but we'll return to the 70s and flirt with the 80s by Sunday.
Have a great week!
3, 2, 1, fade out.

President's Biography
Photo by Edwin Remsberg
Paul W. Ferguson became the 19th President of the University of Maine on July 1, 2011. A Southern California native, President Ferguson is a Whittier College graduate who earned a Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of California, Davis in 1981. Between college and graduate school he gained work experience as a research specialist at the Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center and as a research biologist for Pennwalt Corporation.
An accomplished scholar with a 30-year record of achievement, President Ferguson began his academic career as Assistant Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Louisiana, Monroe. At that institution, he worked to establish the first undergraduate toxicology program in the South while leading research and outreach efforts aimed at assessing the potential risks from chemical exposures throughout Louisiana. After five years working as Senior Toxicologist for Unocal Corporation in Los Angeles, President Ferguson returned to ULM, serving as an award winning Professor and Head of the Division of Pharmacology and Toxicology. In 1993, he was appointed Dean of Graduate Studies and Research. He also served as Vice Provost from 1995–99 prior to assuming a new position at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).
At UNLV, President Ferguson served in a variety of leadership roles, helping that institution realize its vision of becoming a premier metropolitan research university. He joined UNLV as Professor and Dean of the Graduate College, before being appointed Senior Vice Provost in 2001. He served as Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies from 2003–06, leading the continued development of the UNLV research and graduate education enterprise. During his time at UNLV, annual extramural funding increased from $59 million to $95 million, while the number of graduate programs rose from 74 to 108.
In 2006, President Ferguson was appointed Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at the Edwardsville campus of Southern Illinois University, and Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology. He worked to implement major initiatives defined by five academic affairs imperatives: academic quality and assessment, student success, faculty development, educational outreach and enrollment management. During his time there, the university received national recognition for its academic innovation, culture of assessment and commitment to continuous quality improvement.
As a campus leader highly regarded for his commitment to engagement, inclusivity and quality, President Ferguson has a demonstrated record of university transformations in the areas of increased research and economic development, university-community partnerships, student success, faculty development and academic quality. Currently, President Ferguson is leading an inclusive, campus-wide planning and implementation process, the Blue Sky Project, to elevate the University of Maine to new levels of excellence as the most distinctively student-centered and community-engaged of the American research universities.
President Ferguson and his wife, Grace, have been married for 39 years and have three children: David lives in Houston, Texas, where he is a Post-Doctoral Research Scientist at the Baylor College of Medicine; Kathryn and her husband, Bobby Bowman, live in New York City, where she is a fourth year medical student at NYU School of Medicine; and Jenny, is a UMaine senior majoring in political science with a minor in French.

First, when you run the WH above 120-degrees, you must install a tempering valve for safety reasons.
IF the valves are anti-scald, they also have an adjustable limit stop in them to set the maximum shower water outlet. You may need to adjust those. In the process of turning the water off, then filling up the new WH, you could have dislodged some crud in the pipes that is now caught in the valve or cartridges or showerhead. It also would momentarily create a mismatch in the pressure on the hot/cold side of the valve, and if it is an anti-scald valve, it could have jammed the spool valve to one end. Some valves also have check valves inside them, and those can get lodged to one end or obstructed with crud.
Some valves can develop an internal cross-over, and thus mix some hot with the cold all the time. This can limit how hot a local branch can become, since it is already being mixed. A vanity faucet, or a tub/shower one can do this and usually is fixed by replacing the cartridge.
This should give you some things to check, but may not answer your question.

HAI Updates Multi-Room Audio Control With iPhone App
By Marie Jones | Friday | 28/01/2011
HAI Communications, which manufactures automation and security products, has upgraded its Snap-Link Mobile for iPhone which will allow users to control their multi-room music system from an Apple iPhoneT, iPod TouchT and iPadT.
"Homeowners who use HAI entertainment products now gain remote control over their entire audio systems without the need for a costly home control system", said HAI Associate Director of Marketing, Greg Rhoades. "The handheld entertainment interface is perfect for control in homes, offices, restaurants, etc."
The iPhone app can now connect directly to the Hi-Fi 2 multi-room audio system for an affordable remote control touchscreen interface. The app will recognise whether it is connecting to a whole home control system or simply to the Hi-Fi 2 , providing the appropriate screens and icons.
Additional improvements to the application include Pan/Tilt/Zoom control for Axis and Panasonic IP Cameras as well as DSC security system integration.
Homeowners and business managers also have the ability to view event logs, real-time surveillance footage, and adjust anything under HAI's control including lights, access control, appliances, temperatures, window coverings, audio, and more.
Multiple accounts are able to be accessed from within the same application, and the app allows access to the HAI Omni or Lumina equipped property in English, Catalan, Chinese, French, Italian, and Spanish. Users have the ability to adjust small settings such as wake-up time and irrigation hours, as well as the ability to show or hide specific items.
The application is available now in Apple's iTunes Store for $49.99.

A group of English teachers were visiting the beach one weekend in Thailand when they noticed a lazy cat lying in the sand nearby. Soon the cat came over and sat in a teacher's lap. As a joke, he started to massage the cat but was surprised to see how much the cat enjoyed it. The video was taken in November 2012 but has only recently been shared online. Credit: Alyssa Newlon.

Another industry veteran takes the helm
Pyramid Breweries announced last week that chief executive John Lennon has resigned to pursue other business interests. He was immediately replaced by Scott Barnum, a member of the Pyramid board of directors and long-time beer industry veteran.
Lennon, 51, came to Pyramid in August 2004 after a stint as president of Beck's North America. On his watch, the company has focused on rebranding effort and moving most of its brewing from Seattle to Portland to improve efficiency.
Pyramid's chairman, George Hancock, said in a statement that Lennon achieved his main goal of restoring sales momentum and repositioning the Pyramid brand. "John leaves us in much better shape than he found us," Hancock said.
Barnum, 50, has been president of Cocoa Pete's Chocolate Adventures, a premium chocolate company since 2002. Before that, he had been president of Pete's Brewing, held senior marketing positions with Miller Brewing, and worked in brand management at PepsiCo.

The promotion earlier this month by Gloria Jean's Coffees International offered a free second drink to women who measure at least 1.65 meters, or about 5 feet 6 inches, and was meant to echo a government campaign to increase the average national height, state media reported.
But critics said on the social networking site Facebook that the promotion was offensive to Vietnamese women, prompting the company to cancel it and apologize.
"It's really offensive because most of the population is less than that height," said Do Phuong Lien, a woman who runs a fashion and art business in the capital, Hanoi.
Gloria Jean's said in a brief statement Friday that the promotion was "unauthorized."
"This promotion did not reflect the values of our brand, as we welcome everyone into our coffee houses around the world," the statement said. Officials from the company could not immediately be reached for further comment.
The company's website says it launched in a small town near Chicago in 1979 and is now headquartered in Australia with more than 1,000 coffee houses in 39 countries.

Idea for a New Filesystem
Programmer Marc Perkel gave kernel developers something to think about with his proposal for a new filesystem.
Marc Perkel published his idea on developing filesystems in the Linux Kernel Mailing (lkml). He is more or less proposing to ditch previous approaches and redesign filesystems completely from scratch. Perkel based his proposal on the user's viewpoint, rather than that of the programmer's: this means a departure from a system of owners and groups and a move to complex permissions. He gives an example of a granular system of permissions: a user who lists a directory would only see the files for which they have permissions. The advantage of this would be various intermediate levels of users, rather than just root and everyone else.
A subscriber to the mailing list objects that this would cause file naming conflicts. If a user attempted to create a file with an existing name, because the user was unaware of the file, naming would be pot luck, and this was why programmers – and not users – developed filesystems.
Kernel developer Michael Tharp takes a similar view, pointing in particular to security issues. An attacker with write permissions for a "sticky" directory such as /tmp could discover files belonging to other users by trial and error. Tharp suggests reworking group and user permissions rather than starting from scratch, stating that there is some scope for changes to group permissions, which are particularly important for team work.
Israeli kernel programmer Yakov Lerner made a diplomatic contribution to the discussion saying that no matter how impromptu the proposal might be, the doors were open to experiments of any kind.
