No problem – having a good taste in clothes has become as easy as posting a picture on Instagram. And no, you do not have to spend a fortune to get yourself a stylist, now you can have a personalized stylist right on your smartphone.
SUIT APP is now available for download on any device with iOS 8.0 or later. It is compatible with iPhones, iPads, and iPod touch.
Suit App is a styling mobile app where you receive personalized outfits has launched a new feature – try outfits on your avatar. The avatar is a model, but with your face and your body. Take a selfie, set your body parameters and we will create your avatar immediately. You can play with hairstyles and share your new looks with your friends!
SuitApp project started 2 years ago in Siberia (Russia). It was founded by two Russian ladies, Jen Grebenshchikova and Elena Chuiko. They both have a lot of passion for fashion and they started out with a strong desire to create a smartphone app that combines fashion and technologies.
After some time, they met a talented developer, Vladimir Sinitcin, who joined them to become a CTO of SuitApp. Together, they organized a team of 8 developers to work on the project. In March 2016 the project was chosen to participate in startup acceleration program in Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Center. In May 2016 the whole team moved to Kuala Lumpur; and now they are developing the project in a very friendly, dynamic and amazing atmosphere of Malaysia. Magic happens every day!

Now the app supports male avatars that upload your selfie so that the avatar could have your face! They will be releasing female avatars soon by the end of this month so all of the female users can try out clothes without stepping out of your house.
What Is So Special About SuitApp?
The app focuses on providing personal advice and styling tips for the customer. How? It sends you personalized styling recommendations according to your body type and size.
SuitApp connects you with professional stylists online so you can consult them on what to do with their existing wardrobe. It offers different looks according to your specific preferences and body shapes. You can also try the offered outfits on an online fitting room and buy them directly from Zalora Malaysia.
According to the co-founder and also the COO, Jen Grebenschikova, she said, "We provide a new approach to style recommendations. It uses both unique computer algorithms created by mathematicians, professional stylists and developers and human experts' opinion. Moreover, in the second version of our app, we will add a feature to try these outfits on their avatar and see how they suit customers."
How To Use SuitApp?
SuitApp is pretty easy to use.
After downloading the app, you will receive Feed just like on Instagram. Then, you can choose the look that you fancy the most and try them out with your avatar. The feed is pretty "smart" and the more people use it, the better it learns their preferences. Next, you can also take a selfie and key in your body type data so that SuitApp can create an avatar for specially made for you. If you prefer, make sure you put on your makeup first before you take the selfie.
You can then try out recommended outfits on your avatar (with your selfie face and body). There is also a feature that helps you to filter options (such as gender, outfit price, and color) so that the recommendations you get will be more accurate.
SuitApp is not only for those who are looking for trendy looks, it's also a platform for everyone who loves fashion to connect. Here, stylists can meet new customers, while fashionistas can get acquainted with leading stylists and boutique managers. Those with online shops can find new customers and agents that are likely to stay loyal in future.
Last, but not least, fashion bloggers can use the platform to help increase their audience. On how they would describe the app in just two words, the founders describe it as a Styling Fairy! They are working very hard to make sure that the "fairy" is constantly learning the customers styling preferences so SuitApp can provide better service to its customers.
Try out SuitApp now by downloading it from your App Store.

Hi Don,
Keys is doing well
Hi Don,
Keys is doing well. Indeed, no sign of porcupines (good for the porcupines!) Key walks well on leash and is quiet in his crate in the basement thru the night. He loves his outdoor kennel in the daytime. We had to take him off Eukanuba awhile back...just did not agree with him. We think he is going to be a big dog...but he is super gentle. We ended up going with the Petsecure Insurance for now. Couple of pictures attached. By all means, please drop in if you have time on your way through to the US.

Gunny Pics
Attached are a few more photos of Gunny retrieving snowshoe hares..He has 46 game retrieves under his belt as of Dec 9th…He is the best gun dog I have ever owned! He quarters perfectly when hunting upland, he heels perfectly for sneak and shoot and he can sit in a blind for longer than I can! All this at 18 months! I had him in for his booster shots last week, My vet said he is the perfect specimen of a Lab; he is 74 lbs, well muscled out, with a perfect coat..
Thanks and Merry Christmas,

Daizy update
Hi Don .. Yeah I had been just thinking the same thing! Well I have to say that we are totally smitten, head over heals in love with our Daizy!! She is quite a character! Coming along nicely .. Thank goodness as she had taken a shine to my kitchen cupboards and the shingles on the house!!
She is just as smart and pretty as she is stubborn! We turn lots of heads and get lots of compliments (which hopefully you reap the results of). I will get a updated pic to send in the next few days.
How are all your gang doing? Any puppies? Paula & Donnie (Brie's humans) are in touch and we sometimes get together which is nice. All the best to you, Peirette, and family. Hope to talk over the holidays:) cheers,
Lois & Daizy
Rouge Update
Bigby update
Hi Don,
It has been a long time since I've given you any updates on Bigby and I've been meaning to for some time. Hard to believe he's almost 5 years old.
Bigby's the first dog I've ever owned, and he's been an absolute joy. I've never met a Lab I've didn't like, and I think I'll be a Lab owner for life. He's a great companion and It's become a regular event to go to Rockwood Park or the Nature Park on weekends to go for a stroll and take photos. He's great with children and always eager to please anyone he encounters.
Anyway, I thought I'd send a couple photos from the summer.

Hi Don,
it's Benjamin up in Hopedale. Trooper has been an absolute pleasure. We enjoy her tremendously. I have just a quick question with regards to Trooper and swimming. She loves the water and is an amazing retriever - as determined as anything I've ever seen. However, as winter fast approaches and our temperatures dropping with every passing day I was wondering if there is a general rule of thumb with regards to when swimming is done for the season. Will the dog simply not dive in when it's too cold? Her determination says no .... But with air temperature in the minus ten celcius with wind chill in the minus twenty range my wife and I wonder if we should keep her away from water until its frozen. (This is salt water we are talking about too by the way) Any insight on the subject would be great.

There are a couple of downsides though. One: the permalinks are broken. Two: Comments are lost. But I figured since this wasn't a big giant humongously popular site anyway, nothing of importance would be missed. Also, the comments aren't really lost – they're still on Disqus. I just can't figure out a way to show them on the blog.
OpenID seems to work right, but I think Blogger/Google still uses OpenID 1.1 since I can't add it as a plain OpenID to Facebook at the moment. Again, little was lost.
Other than waiting for DNSs to update the move was relatively painless and I hope some time passes before I get not lazy again.

LCGA var/cov specification
Mplus Discussion
Latent Variable Mixture Modeling
posted on Monday, August 26, 2002 - 9:18 am
In the MPLUS specification of a LCGA, does one need to explicitly specify that the variances of growth parameters and the covariances between growth parameter within class are equal to zero? I searched through your examples, but could not find a set-up for the LCGA. Thank you!
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Monday, August 26, 2002 - 9:26 am
Yes, you do need to explicitly specify that the growth factor variances and covariances are zero. For example,
i WITH s @0;
Alexandre Morin
posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 7:30 am
Just to make sure: is that still the case ? 2002, in Mplus time, is already
With continuous outcomes, the difference between LCGA and GMM is that in LCGA
you specify :
i WITH s @0;
Whereas the difference between LCGA and GMM with non-continuous outcomes is that
you have to rely on numerical integration to obtain GMM.
Is that it (from the Mplus input perspective)?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 8:31 am
The LCGA and GMM models are the same for continuous and categorical outcomes. LCGA fixes variances and covariances for the growth factors at zero while GMM has free growth factor variances and covariances. For categorical outcomes, numerical integration is required for model estimation for GMM but not for LCGA.
Alexandre Morin
posted on Thursday, March 06, 2008 - 2:29 pm
Greetings and thanks for the answer,
This confirm what I tought. But I think my question was not clear.
In the Mplus input for non-continuous outcomes LCGA, if we dont specify "numerical integration" then do we still have to specify
i WITH s @0.
In the manual examples, no such specification are given for the non-continuous outcomes LCGA (ex 8.9, 8.10, 8.11).
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, March 06, 2008 - 5:09 pm
No such specification is given because it is not needed.

Can a latent class growth analysis be performed when the indicators are dichotomous? Is it OK to construct a latent growth model with the latent intercept and slope factors as we typically think of them, when the indicators proceed in 0-1 patterns such as 0-0-0-1 or 0-1-1-1 or 0-0-1-1?
Or would this be inappropriate for a latent growth model? If so, is there another model that you can suggest? I am very interested in the mixture models in Chapter 8 of the Mplus manual, but I am not sure if they are appropriate for my analysis.
Thank you for any guidance you can provide.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, September 25, 2013 - 6:47 am
Yes, this can be done as shown in Example 8.4 for GMM and Example 8.9 for LCGA.
Lisa M. Yarnell
posted on Wednesday, September 25, 2013 - 2:33 pm
Thank you, could aspects of the models in Chapter 8 be combined?
I like the model shown in EXAMPLE 8.7: A SEQUENTIAL PROCESS GMM, as we have two sequential processes--but could I adapt it:
a) to have known classes as in Example 8.8, and
b) to have dichotomous outcomes rather than continuous?
Thank you.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, September 25, 2013 - 3:17 pm
Yes, that can all be done.

Dear Dr. Muthen,
I am trying to run a 3-class LCGA with a categorical outcome variable 5 categories). I want to add a categorical covariate (3 categories) to influence intercept and slope of the latent trajectories.
The model looks something like that:
i s |
i s on x1 x2;
c on x1 x2;
I understand that with the conditional model, I do not get the results in probability scale anymore, but that I may be able to calculate the yearly probabilities of partnership status for each class by hand - right?
I found this post explaining the procedure with tech 4 with the following formulas for a latent growth model with a binary categorical variable:
s_m = a+g*x and P (y=1 |x) = F(-tau + s_m*x_t).
Does that also hold for a LCGA with multiple classes because the thresholds are equal across time and across classes by default. Or do I need to free the thresholds? Or is there a different way to calculate the conditional probabilities for each year by partnership status?
Also, when I try to run tech4 in my analyses, the output just remains bank for tech4. Does tech4 require the savedata command here?
Thank you!
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, June 27, 2017 - 5:52 pm
I assume that your 5-cat outcome is ordinal. And also that i and s don't have variance parameters estimated. Then it isn't hard to compute by hand.
You can work in terms of the y* latent response variable underlying the ordinal at each time point because then you can use the formulas for the mean and variance used for growth in an observed continuous outcome shown in Topic 3. Then you use that together with the thresholds for the ordinal as in regular ordinal regression - you can find this in either our book's chapter 5 or in the technical appendix 1 on our website:
Claudia Recksiedler
posted on Wednesday, June 28, 2017 - 8:34 am
Dear Dr. Muthen,
Thank you for you quick reply!
Yes, variances for i and s were not estimated (I left all default settings), but the 5-cat outcome is in fact nominal, not ordinal. Does that make a difference?
I also looked into the materials you recommended, but I am still left confused on how to estimate the conditional probabilities. Could you please provide a little bit more guidance on that issue specifically?
Thanks and kind regards!
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, June 28, 2017 - 6:26 pm
Are you specifying the outcome as Nominal? If specified at Categorical, it is assumed to be ordinal. The difference is important because I don't know how a growth model for a Nominal outcome should be interpreted given that a Nominal DV has several, not just one, slope.

Name: Tom Banks
Team: St. Louis Cardinals
Position: Center
Value of card: One voided check from Tom's bank
Key 1977 stat: Four families of birds nested in his beard and mane
The legend behind this Tom Banks card: It was May 1977, and the Topps photography staff was scrambling. With its annual set due out in less than a month, the quality control team had realized there was no card for St. Louis Cardinals all-pro center Tom Banks. Apparently, the only photos Topps had of Banks featured quarterback Jim Hart's hands nestled comfortably against the center's nether regions. Rather than ruin Topps' reputation for high-quality, kid-friendly photography, an executive decision was made: The staff's best airbrush artist melded a photo of Santa Claus' torso with a grainy shot purportedly showing bigfoot's head, and then placed the creation on a slate gray background. Crisis averted

At "Röa Bad" Sentag surveilles three separate pool areas with 2000 Sentags. In addition the Sentag system is connected to light and sound sirens, walki-talkies, cameras and the facilities internal RFID access solution for additional functions.
All members at Röa Bad are given a Sentag wristband that allows access to the poolarea and to use as a personal key for lockers. Day visitors are automatically issued a Sentag after buying a ticket in a vending machine positioned at the entrance. At the exit, all wristbands are automaticalkly collected in a retention unit before gates are opened permitting the guest to leave the facility.

Swetag AB (Org.No SE556776-1811) has changed name to Sentag AB to better reflect that we are working with Sentag Pool Safety and Drowning Detection Technology.
The name Swetag was adopted when the business and product was aquired from Sentag Uk Ltd. Today Sentag AB is the sole owner and developer of the Sentag products and therefore it is natural to use the same name.
According to the WHO drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional death globally, after road traffic related injuries. International statistics show that drowning is an underestimated global problem and in some areas is even the number one cause of death among children between 1-5 years old.
For every fatal drowning there is a high number of non-fatal drownings requiring both immediate and long-term care. Fact is, swimming is almost as great a risk as driving a car, and when compared to time of exposure, sometimes even higher! While most areas have adopted automated safety technologies your local community pool often entirely relies on the human eye for supervision.

We designed a wing that would give the yacht strong performance and flexibility over a range of conditions but the real challenge was getting it into optimal trim over a range of conditions and keeping it working through manoeuvres. A real team effort!

The Risk of Digital Oblivion – The Chronicle of Higher Education
How to Preserve Cultural Memory in the Digital Age – WorldPost
When We are No More
How Digital Memory Will Shape Our Future
What is the future of human memory? What will people know about us when we are gone?
Our memory gives the human species a unique evolutionary advantage. Our stories, ideas, and innovations—in a word, our "culture"—can be recorded and passed on to future generations. With our enduring culture and restless curiosity we invented powerful recording technologies—from the printing press to photography—that both broadened access to knowledge and produced information inflation. To manage this data surplus, we invented libraries, archives, and museums: repositories of memory that tell us where we come from and define our future.
When We Are No More explores human memory from pre-history to the present. How did we get from the Paleolithic selfies painted on cave walls tens of thousands of years ago, to the temples of learning we call libraries, and the present day of zettabytes of data on servers in all formats, from books to films to scientific databases all stored in electronic bits.
The proliferation of information and the scarcity of human attention demands new ways of understanding memory: data storage is different from memory; what we know from neuroscience about the value of forgetting; and above all, why memory is about the future, not the past.
Abby Smith Rumsey is a historian of ideas focusing on how ideas and information technologies shape perceptions of history, of time, and of personal and cultural identity.

An Immortal Design: Character Design Theory and Development
By Jonah Lobe
Course info
Course info
Character Art is a creative and exhilarating job, but the competition is stiff and it's not always easy to know how to rise above the competition. In this course, An Immortal Design: Character Design Theory and Development, you will learn the foundation knowledge to level up your work in character art and beyond. First, you will learn how to mine and blend original reference to create characters that are striking and original as you move from concept, to sculpt, to the final textured asset. Next, you will discover how to bend line, shape, and anatomy to your advantage in ways that will make your work not simply realistic but iconic. Finally, you will explore the elusive world of color and texture, and become versed in the concept of artistic control – which is the ultimate power of any artist in any field of art. When you're finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of not just a character artist, but you will also have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of art itself. Software required: ZBrush.
Section Introduction Transcripts
Course Overview
Welcome to An Immortal Design, character design theory and development. My name is Jonah Lobe and I'm a character and concept artist in the video game industry. If you're a fan of either the Fallout or Elder Scrolls series, then you're familiar with some of my work. Movies and video games have been on the rise for years and the industry is bursting with talented, creative folks who, like you, are just trying to get ahead. Technical knowhow is imperative, but the single largest determinant in the character art arms race is still talent and artistic ability, line and shape, color and value, anatomy, and personality. These subjects matter, for not only are they the bread and butter of character design, they're fundamental to art itself. An immortal design is an exploration of character art, designed for beginners and veterans alike. We'll begin our journey at the conceptual stage with a focus on attitude and originality. From there, we'll move through the sculpting process and cover topics like anatomy, stance, virtual hierarchy, character, line and shape language. Finally, we'll explore texture and touchability, the mysteries of color and light and the elusive, but powerful concept of artistic control. An Immortal Design won't just give you the tools you need to improve your character art, it will help make you a better artist altogether. So what are you waiting for? Come on in and let's get started.

Odie and Garfield. Tom and Spike. CatDog. Snowball and Santa's Little Helper. The cats and dogs in the entire Cats & Dogs movie franchise. These are just some examples of the "cat vs dog" dichotomy we often see on our TV and movie screens. In fact, this rivalry happens to be one of the oldest and most popular animal tropes in media. Comparing cats to dogs (or vice versa) would be like comparing apples to oranges; it serves no purpose other than to illustrate just how vastly different they are. Yet cats and dogs are constantly pitted against one another in media. Dogs are usually associated with kind-hearted heroes while cats are seated on the laps of villains. Another common example used for the cat/dog dichotomy is to portray dogs as dumb creatures while cats are seen as cunning and hostile.
As with most tropes in popular culture, there is some truth to the cliche. While cats and dogs make great pets on their own, having both animals living together is another matter altogether. Cats and dogs are so different, personality-wise, that it is easy to understand why they would have a difficult time getting along. If you are someone who is planning to have a cat-and-dog household, you may want to think again.
If you have not already done so, now would be a good time to reflect on the kind of pet owner you are and ask yourself this simple question: "Am I really ready to own a cat and a dog?" In the moment, it might seem like the easiest question in the world, but take a moment to let the question sink in and then look at it critically.
Getting a pet is a lot of work in and of itself, but getting another literally doubles the responsibility, not to mention the cost. Think about it: will you be able to meet their needs separately and fairly? Do you have security and precautions in place like insurance just in case your pet gets ill or lost? In the event of a sudden illness or an accident, would you be able to afford their treatments? Can you truly give them the proper love and care that they deserve?
Here are other important points to consider before owning a cat and a dog at the same time:
- Cats and dogs suit different lifestyles.
There's a reason why it is not uncommon to hear the question, "Are you a cat person or a dog person?" Cats and dogs tend to be emblematic of their owners. Are you the outdoorsy type? If yes, then dogs are a perfect fit for you, cats less so. Do you want your relationship with your pet to be that of equals, with your pet free to roam around the house and seek your affection on their own terms? If yes, you will love cats; a properly trained dog understands that you are the "alpha".
Cats are generally more laidback and self-sufficient creatures who prefer to socialize only when they feel like it. They need a "safe room" in the house to retreat to and rest and do not mind being left alone for days so long as you leave them with enough provisions. Cats are resourceful creatures and will find a way to thrive no matter the conditions. After all, these are animals that basically domesticated themselves when they realized it would make their (nine) lives easier if they gave a show of deference and meowed.
Dogs, on the other hand, are a little more high-maintenance: they require exercise regularly and are entirely dependent on their human for food, water and bathroom breaks so they will need daily supervision. On the upside, they are generous with their affection and would die protecting you without a doubt. Dogs, when properly socialized, are very open and friendly, but do not let that fool you: they are also good judges of character and can go from wagging their tails to a crouching attack stance at the first hint of danger.
These are merely generalized traits of cats and dogs. In reality, it varies from breed to breed and only serves to give you an idea of the kind of pet owners that would best suit these animals. Another way to put it would be to say that there is a significant difference in the care each pet requires of its human. In other words, getting both a cat and a dog would mean twice as much responsibility, but you knew that already. Or did you…?
- Cats and dogs are natural enemies.
It is widely recognized by all that cats and dogs have a long, drawn-out history of being natural enemies. When cats and dogs encounter one another, their natural instinct is to revert into an aggressive fight mode. It's just biological and something you cannot totally eliminate. Facilitating a cat and dog's first encounter is tricky, especially on the cat's part. You will need to have an escape route prepared for your cat in case they feel uncomfortable, and you may want to keep your dog on a leash for their first encounter.
- Cats and dogs have different styles of play.
It may seem like a minor detail, but this is actually a large factor to consider as these different styles of play may result in frequent altercations between your cat and your dog. Cats and dogs have distinguished preferences for games that are wholly different: cats prefer to stalk and pounce while dogs like to chase and run after things. Why does this matter so much, you ask? Well, for one, this means there are bound to be misunderstandings between the two. A dog chasing after a cat may think he and his new friend are just playing, but the cat might be absolutely terrified. On the other hand, a dog might be confused and hurt as to why the cat keeps on swiping him whenever he approaches, but what he doesn't realize is that he's getting too close into the cat's personal space and the cat is trying to tell him to back off. These misinterpretations could go on forever and the only way to fix them would be set some ground rules in the household and train both pets.
These are just some reasons why you should not get a cat and a dog. There's too much risk involved not just for both animals, but also to the peace and harmony in your household. Should you decide to go ahead and get a dog and a cat anyway, just be aware that you have got your work cut out for you.

Gardian of the Month: Tracy Koenig-Poches
Q & A with Tracey Koenig-Poches, director of instructional design for Event Garde.
Q: Learn: Let's say you're helping your child or friend with some homework. What's your strategy for helping them learn a difficult topic?
A: The first thing I would do is find out what he or she already knows about the topic. Then, I would chat with the learner to determine what he or she doesn't understand. Often, just having the learner talk through difficult material is quite helpful. Finally, I would break up the information into workable chunks; then find a way to relate the small pieces of information back to what he or she already knows.
Q: Network: How do you help a wallflower, who's not comfortable networking at a professional event, loosen up?
A: Every person has something about them that is unique and interesting. So, after I introduced myself to this person and before I would start introducing them to other people, I would seek to learn what uniqueness that person is bringing to the event.
Q: Transfer: Mentorship -- How do you think mentorship aids in knowledge transfer?
A: Mentorship is crucial for knowledge transfer for many reasons, but two immediately come to mind. First, when someone who is new to a working environment learns new skills or information meant to impact the way he or she does the job, it is often hard for the mentee to really understand how the training or information will practically play out on the job. However, authentic experience truly is the best teacher, and a great mentor can explain and show the practicality in the theory while providing great insight into daunting undertakings. Secondly, mentors can give the mentee a sense of confidence as he or she works to put the newly learned skill or information into practice. A mentor is like a private tutor for the mentee as he or she makes the new knowledge or skill part of their everyday experience.
Q: Please share with us a resource you can't live without.
A: As an instructional designer who uses Articulate Storyline to author e-learning courses, I think it would be very difficult to live without the Articulate E-learning Heroes website. It is full of practical information, expert advice, storyline examples and tutorials.
Q: What's your favorite summer vacation spot?
A: My family cabin in northern Wisconsin. We have a 200-acre lake, a boat and no internet access. That's the good life.

The electric car company Tesla Motors announced on Monday that one of its cars had received the highest safety rating ever awarded to a vehicle, and that it's largely thanks to the fact that it's an electric car.
The Tesla Model S was awarded 5.4 stars on the 5 star scale of Vehicle Safety Scores. That score sets a new record, indicating that the Model S is the safest car among SUVs, sedans, and minivans, the company's press release states. It goes on to explain that the lack of an engine seriously reduces the risk of injury from a head-on collision:
The Model S has the advantage in the front of not having a large gasoline engine block, thus creating a much longer crumple zone to absorb a high speed impact. This is fundamentally a force over distance problem — the longer the crumple zone, the more time there is to slow down occupants at g loads that do not cause injuries. Just like jumping into a pool of water from a tall height, it is better to have the pool be deep and not contain rocks. The Model S motor is only about a foot in diameter and is mounted close to the rear axle, and the front section that would normally contain a gasoline engine is used for a second trunk.
The release goes on to explain how the location of the battery makes car rollovers much less likely:
The Model S was also substantially better in rollover risk, with the other top vehicles being approximately 50 percent worse. During testing at an independent facility, the Model S refused to turn over via the normal methods and special means were needed to induce the car to roll. The reason for such a good outcome is that the battery pack is mounted below the floor pan, providing a very low center of gravity, which simultaneously ensures exceptional handling and safety.
This is welcome news for what's proving to be the most successful electric vehicle on the market. But not everyone will be able to benefit from the resounding success of the Tesla. At a price tag of $60–90,000 per vehicle, the safety that comes from a Model S is far out of reach for the majority of consumers.
What's more, the car is only as efficient as the system in which it operates. While safety standards are important, the driving factor behind purchasing a Tesla is that it is far more efficient. The only problem is, that might not be true. In a majority of states, fossil fuel is such a large share of electricity generation that it winds up seriously reducing, or even eliminating, the environmental value of driving electric. Only a true dedication from states to increase their renewable energy sources would change this.

Poptropica is an online role-play browser game created by Jeff Kinney and Family Education Network for kids ages 6–15. However, it was recently bought by Sandbox Networks.
In the game, players, called Poptropicans travel to different islands and complete quests on them. So far there are forty-six islands (not including the rising of Poptropolis) released on Poptropica and over 500 million Poptropicans.

Home Page[edit | edit source]
The home page of Poptropica (at poptropica.com) is a showcase of what Poptropica has to offer. Their logo is shown, including a cameo from the Poptropica Blimp.
Menu[edit | edit source]
A menu then links to "Play", a direct link to the login; "Blog", the Creators' Blog that is covered later on this list; "Parents", Poptropica Parents that is covered later on this list; "Membership", which leads to a membership page (Membership will be covered later in this article); "Products", which links to the Poptropica Shop (covered later in this article); "Help", which links to a FAQ page; and "Apps", which links to the Poptropica App.
A big yellow "Play Now" button is just under the menu. Clicking this will replace the carousel below the button with the Poptropica Login.
Carousel[edit | edit source]
Speaking of, the carousel below always showcases 3 of the most current updates to the game / app - they usually have very similar update content to the carousel in the Home Screen.
Links[edit | edit source]
A feed for the most current post from the Creators' Blog is under the carousel, with the text "From the Blog". It shows the title of the post, the author of the post, and a small excerpt from it.
From there, a more in depth list of products from the Poptropica Shop is shown, in one column out of a table of four columns. This column is called "Merchandise". There's also "Newest Islands", "Classic Islands", and "Popular Islands" that list the expected content.
Creators' Blog[edit | edit source]
The Poptropica Creators' Blog is "a creative journal from the makers of Poptropica." The blog is mainly for updates and sneak peeks for upcoming features.
Layout[edit | edit source]
After the blog logo, there are two columns of content - the left and right column. The left column is for blog posts, and right serves as a sidebar. The sidebar shows a description of the blog, a menu to some merchandise, a search box, post cloud, a blog archive, and a list of island quests.
Aliases[edit | edit source]
The authors on the blog are Poptropica developers with the aliases of characters from the game.

Trailers[edit | edit source]
Avatar Studio[edit | edit source]
The Avatar Studio is where you can look up your and others' Poptropicans. To get to it, you can either buy the free card in the Store or look it up online. Then, type in a username and you will see that person's Poptropican. You can then save it to your computer, and things like that. Also, a popular glitch, the Avatar Studio Glitch, can be used to get rare outfit pieces.
Poptropica Shop[edit | edit source]
The Poptropica Shop is where you can buy Poptropica merchandise, like toys and t-shirts, with real money.
Custom T-shirts[edit | edit source]
Some of the things you can buy in the Poptropica Shop are custom t-shirts. These shirts can have popular Poptropica characters, or your own Poptropican.
Poptropica Parents[edit | edit source]
Login[edit | edit source]
If you click "Play," you will be taken to the login page. Poptropicans will run across the screen. Sometimes, when a new island is released, the Poptropicans will be characters from that island. You can choose to login (Returning Player) or to make a new account (New Player). If you choose "Returning Player," you have to put in your username and password, and after that you can play. If you choose "New Player," however, you will need to make a new Poptropican. First, you will be asked if you are a girl or boy, and how old you are. Then, you can custum what your Poptropican looks like and their name. Lastly, just hop in the blimp and start your adventure! If you want to, you can make an account so your Poptropican and your progress will be saved.

Pop Quizzes[edit | edit source]
When you log into your Poptropica account, there will be a Pop Quiz to answer on your Home page. They ask random personality questions. You only get to answer one per day. You don't have to answer it, but if you do, your answers will show up on your profile, and you can see your Friends' answers. However, there are a limited amount of Pop Quizzes, and if you answer them all, you won't get to answer anymore until more are added.
Emotions[edit | edit source]
On your Friends page, you can edit how you are feeling. However, it is completely optional and doesn't affect the game in any way.
Tribes[edit | edit source]
Tribes were introduced when Poptropolis Games released in 2012, and is a necessary part of that island. The tribe you choose is the tribe you represent in that quest, kind of like what country you're from in the Olympics. Also, you can go to your tribes' common room and your tribe shows up on the player maps and common rooms.
Photo Album[edit | edit source]
When you are playing an island, you will earn a photo at certain points. The number of photos for each island depends on the island. For example, Early Poptropica has 5 photos and Galactic Hot Dogs only has 1. To see these pictures, you have to go to your Friends page and look in the Photo Album. However, non-members can only see one photo per island, but members can see all of them. Sometimes, you have to replay an island to get every photo. Another thing you can do with the Photo Album is costumize any outfit in a photo, including your friends'.
Costume Closet[edit | edit source]
The Costume Closet is where you can save your outfits so you can wear them again later, and so your friends can costumize them. However, the number of outfits you can save depends on if you have membership or not. You can save 30 looks if you are a member, but you can only save a fraction of that if you are a non-member.

This is where you can read a variety of different comics, such as the Peanuts and Big Nate. A new comic strip is added every day or so.
Games[edit | edit source]
This is where you can play a variety of different games. They have nothing to do with Poptropica or the games you can play in common rooms. If you get a high score, your Poptropican is shown next to that game for the world to see.
Sneak Peeks[edit | edit source]
This is where you can see sneak peaks for upcoming islands or, sometimes, concepts for existing islands. A new sneak peak is added every weekday, but sometimes none are added because of things like holidays. There is also a caption for each sneak peak. These actually hint at things that will happen in an island, but you only realize that after you play that island.
Celebrity Clips[edit | edit source]
This is where celebrities, or should I say book authors, such as Jeff Kinney and Rick Riordan, share true stories about themselves. These include embarrassing moments, their favorite candies, and things like that. However, they are pretty outdated. New ones haven't been posted for many years.
Island Quests[edit | edit source]

Common Rooms[edit | edit source]
Emotions[edit | edit source]
Chat[edit | edit source]
In common rooms and multiverses, you can chat with other players. Once you click the chat button, you will get 3 questions you can choose from to ask players. Then, the other players will get 3 answers to choose from. Chatting on Poptropica is very safe, as you choose from different questions and answers instead of having free chat.
Minigames[edit | edit source]
Mini games are head-to-head games that you can play with other Poptropicans in common rooms and multiverse. Winning games increase your battle ranking.

Time to dip into the Fast Money mail bag and answer more of your questions.
Mary from Connecticut
Mary writes, "Since there seem to be so many defaults and foreclosures in the housing sector, will this translate into people defaulting on their credit card payments? And Will this hurt Mastercard (MA)?
Guy Adami told Mary that Mastercard doesn't take credit risk; they simply process transactions. He recommended MA as a long-term buy.
Mary from Nebraska
Mary writes, "Why does Applied Materials (AMAT) keep missing the rising solar tide?"
Pete Najarian thought Mary made a good point and said AMAT should get into solar.
Jackie from New York
Jackie writes, "Karen, I know that you are value-oriented with regard to equities so here is my question: Ambac Financial Group (ABK) has lost about 70% of its value. Is this justified or is this a buying opportunity? If I look back in one or two years, might I see this stock double?
Karen Finerman said to Jackie that she understands Ambac's business but just can't get her head around the company's capital structure. Consequently, she doesn't recommend buying the stock.

Sitting in an airport with a long delayed flight, I begin to look around and ponder the nature of my fellow travelers. Who are they, where are they going, what do they do? These are all questions that come across my mind as I observe. With a quick glance one can see apparel, travel cases, and an astounding assortment of electronic devices. We view these objects and can surmise one's level of abundance. Most of us, however, realize that abundance has more to do with what's not that overt. As I look around I see a group of young brothers, chasing each other and giggling; they have abundance. I see a married couple who (I can see by the articles they carry) just returned from the Caribbean with darkened walnut colored skin. They are sitting close and holding hands; they have abundance. I hear a crew of flight attendants working together like a well-oiled machine. Instead of the routine they would have to repeat verbatim, they joke and have everyone in stitches; they have abundance, too.
- So what is abundance?
- What does it mean to you?
- How does it influence your life?
- How is it displayed?
I asked some friends these very questions. My feeling was that the meaning will be very personal so I was interested in the diverse responses. I know for me the meaning of abundance has evolved through my life, so I thought it would be interesting to hear what others had to say. At the base level, abundance seems to represent the "plenty" around us. One of my friends defines it as, "what we give thanks for at Thanksgiving," shelter, food, clothing, having essentials without need for more. For others it may take on a more spiritually-minded light as described by a few of my friends.
Here is a nice response from Colleen: "Abundance to me is the love and support I feel from my family and friends — it is limitless! Abundance is also the opportunities I have and the freedom I have in choosing which opportunities to take." Janette replied saying, "Abundance means to me: health, joy, well-being, money, great relationships, a solid relationship with God, great opportunities/experiences, a constant flow of all of the positive things that make life so enjoyable. It is all important because it is of my own development so it is an exemplification of my higher self…especially when I do it consciously!"
A friend of mine who loves the outdoors, healthy eating and exercise responded that for her she feels abundance represents living a carefree lifestyle and "to have the ability to go anywhere and do anything I want when I want." While for Deb she feels that, "Abundance for me is having enough with enough left over to share. So it can be having an abundance of money … food … time etc. On a more spiritual level and an abundance of love for me is the natural flow of the Universe that fills us up with love (when we are open to receive) and spills out with abundance as we share our love with others."
And yet Sharron adds, "Abundance to me is an awareness that there is enough … plenty to go around … it is gently tied to trust and gratitude … for it is from this perspective that abundance can be experienced."
Abundance may represent opportunity, freedom, and limitlessness; not only wealth and riches of a tangible nature but of a spiritual nature as well. You can see that there are so many unique responses to this theme from reading these responses. But it makes me wonder that perhaps other questions about abundance to leave you to ponder would be:
- How would having more abundance change your life?
- What would it look, smell, taste, sound and feel like?
- Can you have too much abundance?
- How do you draw abundance to you?

Breast Reconstruction and Reconstructive Surgery In Sydney
CONVENIENTLY LOCATED TO SERVE THE AREAS OF Sydney AND New South Wales
For a number of women, mastectomies are a necessary reality in their fight against breast cancer. This can affect their self-esteem, confidence, and sexuality.
Breast Reconstruction Sydney Surgical Procedure: With numerous treatment options available to women with breast cancer, or genetic predisposition to breast cancer( BRCA gene mutant ), trying to determine the best breast reconstruction options can be perplexing.
Various Research-studies show that breast reconstruction surgeries give these women quality of life along with psychological advantages also. All of these life changing enhancements are a well-deserved to women who have suffered the trauma of breast cancer and mastectomy. Dr. White establishes the surgical process is safe for her patients and is required to ensure that each procedure is done at the optimal occasion for the healthiest outcome possible. Patients walk away with a new outlook on living and an understanding that "thats really not" alone in their convalescence and healing process.
Gaining an understanding of the different types of breast reconstruction and the steps and timing of the surgical process is important, and can occasionally factor into decisions involving breast conservation surgery vs. mastectomy. There have been significant advances in breast reconstruction techniques that have enabled women who choose to undergo mastectomy to feel balanced, comfortable, self-confident and attractive. Dr. White is a renowned, highly trained plastic surgeon offering breast reconstruction in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Breast reconstruction involves the use of varied surgical techniques to rebuild and restructure the breast or breasts to their natural sizing, figure and aesthetic appearance. Breast Reduction Surgeons in Sydney use natural and/ or prosthetic fabrics to construct a normal appearing breast for their patients. Often times, the nipple-area or areola has to be completely rebuilt after a mastectomy surgical procedure.
Breast reconstruction is an option for the majority of women undergoing unilateral mastectomy( one side) or bilateral mastectomy( "two sides " ). The type of breast rebuilding and occasioning thereof are the main decisions to be made in conjunction with your plastic surgeon and breast surgeon. Immediate breast reconstruction, which begins the reconstructive surgical process during the mastectomy procedure, is possible for most patients. After a mastectomy, there are two primary routes for breast reconstruction: prosthetic or implant-based reconstruction, which implies the use of tissue expanders and/ or breast implant, and autologous reconstruction, exploiting tissue from elsewhere on your own body.
When females choose breast conservation therapy that includes lumpectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, and radiation therapy, there is no character for plastic surgery manoeuvres( with the rare objection of a lumpectomy performed in conjunction with breast reduction, known as oncoplastic surgery ). Almost all Sydney breast reconstructions after mastectomy require several "stages" to achieve the final desired make, although other than the first inpatient surgery( mastectomy and first stage reconstruction ), subsequent procedures are outpatient and associated with short recovery seasons and minimal downtime.
When bilateral mastectomy is performed, the breast reconstruction process has frequently identical on both sides, and is consistent with greater short term and long term symmetry. With unilateral( one side) mastectomy and breast reconstruction, surgery on the opposite breast( contralateral breast raise, breast augmentation Sydney, or breast reduction) is often required to achieve the most balanced results.
There are many reasons why women from across the country choose breast reconstruction in Sydney, New South Wales at our plastic surgery practice, all of which are intensely personal. Breast reconstruction - particularly when using a woman's own tissue - allows a woman to feel whole and face her cancer diagnosis with a sense of confidence and empowerment.
Breast Reconstruction in Sydney
Breast reconstruction surgery allows a woman to undergo a mastectomy and yet still enjoy a very natural breast look. A female who is told that she will require a mastectomy to treat cancer is often emotionally-devastated, but reconstruction can help her" put back the fragments" and move on from a cancer diagnosis.
RACS stands for the "Royal Australasian College of Surgeons"
Patients who undergo breast implant-based reconstruction generally heal faster than patients with flap-based breast reconstructions. Both take 3-6 weeks for convalescence and require additional surgeries to reconstruct the areola and nipple areas.
Recipients of these procedures must not partake in physical sporting activities, overhead lifting, and sex activity during the course of its convalescence span. Light cardio practise such as tread mill, strolling or biking are approved for reclamation after surgery and for weight control.
The majority of patients return to normal activity levels after surgery, except for TRAM flap patients, who is able suffer a decrease in abdominal muscle strength even after convalescence. This TRAM flap, or bilateral tit reconstruction surgery, requires a sacrifice of both rectus muscles, which is why abdominal strength is lost. Because of this, many Sydney Breast Reconstruction surgeons avoid this technique and opt for terms and conditions that do not reduce the patient's activity in the long term.
For many women, there is often psychological adjustment time that occurs after a breast reconstruction surgery procedure. Depression, anxiety and sadness are common and can it can be helpful to seek the support of a counsellor or related assistance group.
