The concrete floor houses a radiant floor heating system. The system heats the house by means of a water-to-water heat pump that extracts heat from the earth in the winter and uses the earth as a coolant in the summer. This puts less strain on the system, making it more energy efficient. This geothermal heat pump system also produces free hot water as a byproduct during its summertime operation.
LUMENHAUS is completely powered by the sun. A powerful array of Photovoltaic (PV) panels provides carbon-neutral energy to the house. The PVs, arranged in a single array that covers the roof, are built into the house during construction. The panels are bifacial, meaning they use both sides to increase energy output by up to 15 percent. Using an electric actuator, the entire PV array can be tilted to the optimal angle for each season (from zero degrees to a 17-degree angle in summer and to a 35-degree angle in winter). Having the array at the correct angle allows for maximum solar energy collection. There will also be PV wafers located within the skylight in the bathroom.
An innovative transportation system allows the house to be transported easily without expensive permitting and very little on-site construction or assembly. The system, which is inspired by the double-drop lowboy trailer, is made up of removable and reusable components (axle/wheel assembly on the back and hitch hookup on the front) allowing for simple truck transport, flexible suspension and higher height clearances than conventional modular transport methods. The house's strong steel structural frame supports it while in transit.
The energy collected during the day will be symbolically radiated back out at night through a low-energy, long-lasting Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting system. Built right into the insulating panels of the Eclipsis System and throughout the house in strategic spots, the interior and exterior spaces will be amply lit. LED lights are extremely energy-efficient light fixtures that emit a very high-quality white light. They produce more lumens per watt than traditional incandescent bulbs. They also have extremely long lives and are very durable, being resistant to heat, cold and shock.
LUMENHAUS uses technology optimally to make life simpler for you, while also minimizing energy usage, saving you money.
The house has a computer interface that manages all of its systems. Many aspects of these systems can be controlled by the user, at home or remotely, through either a computer or a smartphone. For example, you could easily turn on and off lights, relocate the Eclipsis System, lock or unlock your front door, change the temperature or lighting in the car on the way home after a hard day at the office so you can just relax when you walk in the door.
The management system gives live feedback of the house's energy consumption, allowing you to be more energy conscious and to easily make changes to be more efficient. This feedback will also be available remotely.
LUMENHAUS is not only energy-efficient; it is water-efficient, too. The roof is sloped to collect rainwater that is filtered for potable (drinkable) use in the house, while water used in the house (greywater – from the shower, bathroom sink and clothes washer) goes through a series of bio-filters in the surrounding landscape where it is cleaned for non-potable use.
The Eclipsis System is an advanced building façade comprising two layers: a metal shutter shade and a translucent insulating panel. The shutter shade slides along the north and south façades, providing protection from direct sunlight while simultaneously allowing for indirect, natural lighting, views to the exterior and privacy to those inside. The sliding insulating panel is a translucent polycarbonate panel filled with aerogel. Aerogel is a super lightweight, highly insulating translucent material that provides insulation equivalent to a typical sold wall during harsh weather conditions without blocking natural light.
LUMENHAUS is a prime example of how cutting-edge, sustainable technologies can be inserted seamlessly into a residential format. In addition to being completely powered by the sun, LUMENHAUS has many other sustainable features. The wood decking around the house has been harvested from fast-growth, sustainable forests. The concrete floor, which collects heat in the winter, contains recycled fly ash, while the translucent insulation panels on the north and south façades have an R-value equal to that of a typical solid wall. The zinc cladding and aluminum framing on the exterior of the house are extremely durable and recyclable. All of the companies that have provided materials for our house manage to maintain high quality, long-lasting products while finding innovative ways to be friendly to the environment. LUMENHAUS serves as an exhibition for these new technologies in the hopes that they will permeate the current home market.
LUMENHAUS optimizes the use of passive energy through day lighting, natural ventilation and natural passive heating and cooling.
Day lighting is the natural lighting of the house through means of windows and other openings. In this case, the entire south and north façades are either translucent (when the insulation panels are closed) or transparent (when the insulation panels are open).
Natural ventilation is the ventilation/cooling of the house through means other than mechanical/electrical-powered systems. The house can be naturally cooled and ventilated by opening any of the sliding doors on the north and side façade of the house. These doors include bug screens to keep bugs out of the house and to let in fresh, clean air.
Natural heating of the house comes through the ability to capture the sun's heat in the polished dark-gray concrete floor. When the sun hits the concrete slab in the day, it absorbs and stores heat, which it radiates to naturally heat the house throughout the night. This natural heating can be controlled by opening or closing the Eclipsis System to limit the amount of light that directly hits the slab. The amount of heat sequestered in the concrete will depend on the time of day and season.
The modular design of LUMENHAUS allows it to grow with your family. Multiple units can connect or stack with plug-in stairs and entryways to create two-, three-, and four-bedroom houses with the same efficient use of space of the single module. If used as a part of a community, the houses have the potential to become even more sustainable than the single house. For example, if a single person were to originally move into a single module, but then later got married, he or she could add another module to expand the space with little difficulty. As the family expands with the births of children, more modules could be added to increase living space. However, once the children reach adulthood and move out, all that extra space could be moved down the street to a new, budding family's house to be used again.
A sustainable community, affectionately called LUMEN-o-CITY, has been developed by the team to model the different house schemes and see entire neighborhoods trading modules with each other to accommodate changing housing needs. When integrated into the framework of sustainable community planning, LUMENHAUS has the potential of creating a housing community that excels beyond the expectations of society. As a community, the key parts of sustainability – social, economic, and environmental – can be addressed on a larger, more effective scale.
From the customizable Eclipsis System, to the durable construction, to the innovative transportation system, LUMENHAUS takes pre-fab homes to the next level: pro-fab, or progressive fabrication. With no flimsy siding or laminate floors, LUMENHAUS aims to remove the stigma often associated with factory-built modular homes. LUMENHAUS is solid and durable, from the polished gray concrete floor to the solid steel beams and columns that make up the structural system.

Rouda Feder Tietjen & McGuinn tenaciously represents clients who have suffered birth injuries due to the negligence or carelessness of physicians. If your child has been disabled or has suffered a traumatic injury, our San Francisco birth injury lawyers can help you pursue compensation.
Healthcare providers owe a duty of care to patients. If they breach that duty of care and cause an injury, they must be held responsible. Our firm has guided numerous clients through the legal system in a variety of medical malpractice cases.
We can talk with you to determine a course of action. Contact us today for a free initial consultation.
A birth injury refers to any physical trauma caused to a baby during delivery. This can involve injuries to the brain, as well as injuries to muscles, bones, and soft tissue. While a lot of complications can arise during birth, many are preventable with proper care and attention by medical professionals. Birth injuries often cause permanent damage to infants. They also often require expensive medical treatment.
Cerebral palsy affects around 500,000 children in the United States. While its causes are generally unknown, maternal infections, brain injuries or malformations, excessive force during delivery, and forceps or vacuum extraction injuries can contribute to the development of cerebral palsy. It hinders a child's gross and fine motor skills, and can affect muscle tone and coordination, balance, posture, and oral motor function.
The brachial plexus is a group of nerves located between the shoulder and neck. Since brachial plexus nerves control feeling in a child's arm, an injury may result in a loss of ability to move or feel anything in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, or even fingers. A breech birth (where the child is feet-first instead of head-first), maternal diabetes or obesity, and large infant size and weight can increase the risk of a brachial plexus injury.
In addition, Erb's palsy is a muscle injury that occurs during delivery. It is actually a brachial plexus injury that causes damage to the nerves in the child's upper arm and shoulder. Injured children may be unable to move their hand, arm, wrist, or fingers. It essentially results in paralysis to the affected arm.
Shoulder dystocia, another common birth injury, occurs during delivery. The baby's shoulder becomes stuck behind the mother's pelvic bone, causing it to be pulled back during birth. If immediate action is not taken to free the baby's shoulder, a serious injury could result. The mother may be moved to a different birth position, and emergency procedures may be required.
While these are common brain and muscle injuries that occur during birth, other injuries may occur as well. Excessive use of force during delivery, pulling or tugging on the baby, pressing on the mother's stomach, and improperly using medical tools such as forceps can cause serious trauma to the infant. If your baby was injured due to medical malpractice, our San Francisco birth injury attorneys can fight on your behalf as you pursue the settlement you deserve.
Birth injuries can result in serious long-term harm to a baby. It is important to file a lawsuit against those responsible so you can receive the financial relief you need in this stressful time. There may be a variety of parties who can be held liable for a birth injury.
A vicarious liability claim may also be brought against the HMO employer of the doctor. A vicarious liability claim is basically suing a third party. Even though the HMO provider did not directly cause the injury, it may still be held liable because of the circumstances or its proximity in the incident.
Before filing a lawsuit, you must identify all parties who may be liable for your child's injuries. Gathering evidence is a necessary step. At Rouda Feder Tietjen & McGuinn, we can conduct a thorough investigation of your case. We can talk to witnesses, pull medical records, and look at pictures or videos of the incident to determine who is responsible. Our firm has guided numerous clients to successful settlements. We know you are going through a stressful time, but you can count on us to work hard to handle the legal issues of your case.
Contact our office today to learn how we can help.

Thyatira in Lydia, with those of Tribigild; and still maintained his superior ascendant over the rebellious leader of the Ostrogoths. The Confederate armies advanced, without resistance, to the straits of the Hellespont and the Bosphorus; and Arcadius was instructed to prevent the loss of his Asiatic dominions, by resigning his authority and his person to the faith of the Barbarians. The church of the holy , martyr Euphemia, situate on a lofty eminence near Chalcedon," was chosen for the place of the interview. Gainas bowed with reverence at the feet of the emperor, whilst he required the sacrifice of Aurelian and Saturninus, two ministers of consular rank; and their naked necks were exposed, by the haughty rebel, to the edge of the sword, till he condescended to grant them a precarious and disgraceful respite. The Goths, according to the terms of the agreement, were immediately transported from Asia into Europe; and their victorious chief, who accepted the title of master-general of the Roman armies, soon filled Constantinople with his troops, and distributed among his dependents the honors and rewards of the empire. In his early youth, Gainas had passed the Danube as a suppliant and a fugitive: his elevation had been the work of valor and fortune; and his indiscreet or perfidious conduct was the cause of his rapid downfall. Notwithstanding the vigorous opposition of the archbishop, he importunately claimed for his Arian sectaries the possession of a peculiar church; and the pride of the Catholics was offended by the public toleration of heresy." Every quarter of Constantinople was filled with tumult and disorder; and the Barbarians gazed with such ardor on the rich shops of the jewellers, and the tables of the bankers, which were covered with gold and silver, that it was judged prudent to remove those dangerous temptations from their sight. They resented the injurious precaution; and some alarming attempts were made, during the night, to attack and destroy with fire the Imperial palace." In this state of mutual and suspicious hostility, the guards and the people of Constantinople shut the gates, and rose in arms to prevent or to punish the conspiracy of the Goths. During the absence of Gainas, his troops were surprised and oppressed; seven thousand Barbarians perished in this bloody massacre. In the fury of the pursuit, the Catholics uncovered the roof, and continued to throw down flaming logs of wood, till they overwhelmed their adversaries, who had retreated to the church or conventicle of the Arians. Gainas was either innocent of the design, or too confident of his success; he was astonished by the intelligence, that the flower of his army had been ingloriously destroyed; that he himself was declared a public enemy; and that his countryman, Fravitta, a brave and loyal confederate, had assumed the management of the war by sea and land. The enterprises of the rebel, against the cities of Thrace, were encountered by a firm and well-ordered defence; his hungry soldiers were soon reduced to the grass that grew on the margin of the fortifications; and Gainas, who vainly regretted the wealth and luxury of Asia, embraced a desperate resolution of forcing the passage of the Hellespont. He was destitute of vessels; but the woods of the Chersonesus afforded materials for rafts, and his intrepid Barbarians did not refuse to trust themselves to the waves. But Fravitta attentively watched the progress of their undertaking. As soon as they had gained the middle of the stream, the Roman galleys," impelled by the full force of oars, of the current, and of a favorable wind, rushed forwards in compact order, and with irresistible weight; and the Hellespont was covered with the fragments of the Gothic shipwreck. After the destruction of his hopes, and the loss of many thousands of his bravest soldiers, Gainas, who could no longer aspire to govern or to subdue the Romans, determined to resume the independence of a savage life. . A light and active body of Barbarian horse, disengaged from their infantry and baggage, might perform in eight or ten days a march of three hundred miles from the Hellespont to the Danube; * the garrisons of that important frontier had been gradually annihilated ; the river, in the month of December, would be deeply frozen ; and the unbounded prospect of Scythia was opened to the ambition of Gainas. This design was secretly communicated to the national troops, who devoted them. selves to the fortunes of their leader; and before the signal of departure was given, a great number of provincial auxiliaries, whom he suspected of an attachment to their native country, were perfidiously massacred. The Goths advanced, by rapid marches, through the plains of Thrace; and they were soon delivered from the fear of a pursuit, by the vanity of Fravitta," who, instead of extinguishing the war, hastened to enjoy the popular applause, and to assume the peaceful honors of the consulship. But a formidable ally appeared in arms to vindicate the majesty of the empire, and to guard the peace and liberty of Scythia." The superior forces of Uldin, king of the Huns, opposed the progress of Gainas; a hostile and ruined country prohibited his retreat; he disdained to capitulate; and after repeatedly attempting to cut his way through the ranks of the enemy, he was slain, with his desperate followers, in the field of battle. Eleven days after the naval victory of the IIellespont, the head of Gainas, the inestimable gift of the conqueror, was received at Constantinople with the most liberal expressions of gratitude; and the public deliverance was celebrated by festivals and illuminations. The triumphs of Arcadius became the subject of epic poems; * and the monarch, no longer oppressed by any hostile terrors, resigned himself to the mild and absolute dominion of his wife, the fair and artful Eudoxia, who has sullied her fame by the persecution of St. John Chrysostom. After the death of the indolent Nectarius, the successor of Gregory Nazianzen, the church of Constantinople was distracted by the ambition of rival candidates, who were not ashamed to solicit, with gold or flattery, the suffrage of the people, or of the favorite. On this occasion, Eutropius seems to have deviated from his ordinary maxims; and his uncorrupted judgment was determined only by the superior merit of a stranger. In a late journey into the East, he had admired the sermons of John, a native and presbyter of Antioch, whose name has been distinguished by the epithet of Chrysostom, or the Golden Mouth." A private order was despatched to the governor of Syria; and as the people might be unwilling to resign their favorite preacher, he was transported, with speed and secrecy, in a post-chariot, from Antioch to Constantinople. The unanimous and unsolicited consent of the court, the clergy, and the people, ratified the choice of the minister; and, both as a saint and as an orator, the new archbishop surpassed the sanguine expectations of the public. Born of a noble and opulent family, in the capital of Syria, Chrysostom had been educated, by the care of a tender mother, under the tuition of the most skilful masters. He studied the art of rhetoric in the school of Libanius; and that celebrated sophist, who soon discovered the talents of his disciple, ingenuously confessed that John would have deserved to succeed him, had he not been stolen away by the Christians. His piety soon disposed him to receive the sacrament of baptism; to renounce the lucrative and honorable profession of the law; and to bury himself in the adjacent desert, where he subdued the lusts of the flesh by an austere penance of six years. His infirmities compelled him to re. turn to the society of mankind; and the authority of Meletius devoted his talents to the service of the church : but in the midst of his family, and afterwards on the archiepiscopal throne, Chrysostom still persevered in the practice of the monastic virtues. The ample revenues, which his predecessors had consumed in pomp and luxury, he diligently applied to the establishment of hospitals; and the multitudes, who were supported by his charity, preferred the eloquent and edifying discourses of their archbishop to the amusements of the theatre or the circus. The monuments of that eloquence, which was admired near twenty years at Antioch and Constantinople, have been carefully preserved; and the possession of near one thousand sermons, or homilies, has authorized the critics" of succeeding times to appreciate the genuine merit of Chrysostom. They unanimously attribute to the Christian orator the free command of an elegant and copious language; the judgment to conceal the advantages which he derived from the knowledge of rhetoric and philosophy; an inexhaustible fund of metaphors and similitudes, of ideas and images, to vary and illustrate the most familiar topics; the happy art of engaging the passions in the service of virtue; and of exposing the folly, as well as the turpitude, of vice, almost with the truth and spirit of a dramatic representation. The pastoral labors of the archbishop of Constantinople provoked, and gradually united against him, two sorts of enemies; the aspiring clergy, who envied his success, and the obstinate sinners, who were offended by his reproofs. When Chrysostom thundered, from the pulpit of St. Sophia, against the degeneracy of the Christians, his shafts were spent among the crowd, without wounding, or even marking, the character of any individual. When he declaimed against the peculiar vices of the rich, poverty might obtain a transient consolation from his invectives; but the guilty were still sheltered by their numbers; and the reproach itself was dignified by some ideas of superiority and enjoyment. But as the pyramid rose towards the summit, it insensibly diminished to a point; and the magistrates, the ministers, the favorite eunuchs, the ladies of the court," the empress Eudoxia herself, had a much larger share of guilt to divide among a smaller proportion of criminals. The personal applications 42 As I am almost a stranger to the voluminous sermons of Chrysostom, I have given my considence to the two most judicious and moderate of the ecclesiastical critics, Erasmus (tom. iii. p. 1344) and Dupin (Bibliothèque Ecclesiastique, tom. iii. p. 38): yet the good taste of the former is sometimes vitiated by an excessive love of antiquity, and the good sense of the latter is always restrained by prudential considerations. 4. The females of Constantinople distinguished themselves by their enmity or their attachment to Chrysostom. Three noble and opulent widows, Marsa, Castricia, and Eugraphia, were the leaders of the persecution (Pallad. Dialog. tom. xiii. p. 14). It was impossible that they should forgive a preacher who reproached their affectation to conceal, by the ornaments of dress, their age and ugliness
* Oarias Eöðmutas uapriyotov, is the expression of Zosimus himself (l. v. p. 314) who inadvertently uses the fashionable language of the Christians. Evagrius describes (l. ii. c. 3) the situation, architecture, relics, and miracles, of that celebrated church, in which the general council of Chalcedon was afterwards held.
*The pious remonstrances of Chrysostom, which do not appear in his own writings, are strongly urged by Theodoret; but his insinuation, that they were successful, is disproved by facts. Tillennont (Hist. des Empereurs, tom. v. p. 383) has discovered that the emperor, to satisfy the rapacious demands of Gainas, was obliged to melt the plate opthe church of the apostles.
*The ecclesiastical historians, who sometimes guide, and sometimes follow, the public opinion, most confidently assert, that §. palace of Constantinople was guarded by legions of angels.
37 Zosimus (l. v. p. 319) mentions these galleys by the name of Liburnians, and observes, that they were as swift (without explaining the difference between them) as the vessels with fifty oars; but that they were far inferior in speed to the triremes, which had been long disused. Yet he reasonably concludes, from the testimony of Polybius, that galleys of a still larger size had been constructed in the Punic wars. Since the establishment of the Roman empire over the Mediter. ranean; the useless art of building large ships of war had probably been neglected, and at length forgotten.
* Chishull (Travels, pp. 61-63, 72-76) proceeded from Gallipoli, through Hadrian, ople, to the Danube, in about fifteen days. He was in the train of an English ambassador, whose baggage consisted of seventy-one wagons. That learned traveller has the merit of tracing a curious and unfrequented route.
39 The narrative of Zosimus, who actually leads Gainas beyond the Danube, must be corrected by the testimony of Socrates, and Sozomen, that he was killed in Thrace; and by the precise and authentic dates of the Alexandrian, or Paschal, Chronicle, p. 307. The naval victory of the Hellespont is fixed to the month Apellaeus, the tenth of the calends of January (December 23); the head of Gainas was brought to Constantinople the third of the nones of January (January 3), in the month Audynaeus.
40 Eusebius Scholasticus acquired much fame by his poem on the Gothic war, in which he had served. Near forty years afterwards, Ammonius recited another
poem on the same subject, in the presence of the emperor Theodosius. See Socrates, 1. vi. c. 6.
* Fravitta, according to Zosimus, though a Pagan, received the honors of the consulate. Zosim: v. c. 20. On Fravitta, see a very imperfect fragment of Eunapius. Mai, ii. 290, in Niebuhr, 92.-M.
* The sixth book of Socrates, the eighth of Sozomen, and the fifth of Theodoret, afford curious and authentic materials for the life of John Chrysostom. Besides those general historians, I have taken for my guides the four, principal biographers of the saint. 1. The author of a partial and passionate Vindication of the archbishop of Constantinople, composed in the form of a dialogue, and under the name of liis zealous partisan, Palladius, bishop of Helenopolis (Tillemont, Mém. Ecclés. tom. xi. pp. 500-533). It is inserted among the works of Chrysostom, tom. xiii. pp. 1-90, edit. Montfaucon. 2. The moderate Erasmus (tom. iii. opist. McL. pp. 1331-1:47, edit. Lugd. Bat). His vivacity and good sense were his own ; his errors, in the uncultivated state of ecclesiastical antiquity, were almost inevitable. 3. The learned Tillemont (Mém. Ecclésiastiques, tom. xi. pp. 1-405, 547-626, &c., &c.), who compiles the lives of the saints with incredible patience and religious accuracy. He has minutely searched the voluminous works of Chrysostom himself. 4. Father Montfaucon, who has perused those works with the curious diligence of an editor, discovered several new homilies, and aggio, o: and composed the Life of Chrysostom. (Opera Chrysostom. toms Kiii. pp. 91-17. .

There have been many developments in the drone scene over the last few years and now Amazon is proposing something that will revolutionize drone use once again. They are basically proposing that a certain segment of the skies will be dedicated purely for use of drones that will be delivering packages so that they pose no threat to privacy, security and safety.
The proposal involves having a chunk of airspace 200 ft thick, which will be located 200ft to 400ft above the ground, that will be dedicated for use only by drones. These drones will be state of the art, equipped with only the most sophisticated equipment for communication and sensory functions, and able to travel at speeds going as high as 60 knots and above.
100 ft above that slab will also be considered a no-fly zone for conventional planes such as those of commercial airlines or those used in farming purposes so that the risks of collision can be avoided. This essentially limits the dangers that are being attributed to drone use at the moment, both in the air and on the ground.
The company unveiled their plan at the NASA UTM Convention at NASA Ames in California. The plan is one of the more audacious that was put forth that paves the way for a robot metropolis of the future.
Gur Kimchi, vice-president and co-founder of Amazon's delivery-by-drone project, Prime Air, who addressed the Nasa meeting saying, "The way we guarantee the greatest safety is by requiring that as the level of complexity of the airspace increases, so does the level of sophistication of the vehicle. Under our proposal everybody has to be collaborative – vehicles must be able to talk to each other and avoid each other as the airspace gets denser at low altitudes."
Right now, there are an estimated 85,000 flights each day involving conventional flight models such as commercial planes, military aircraft and so on. Amazon projects that be the end of the decades, that number will be nothing compared to the number of unmanned drones that will be flying all over the country at low altitudes.
The online merchant company outlines that their new architecture will ensure that there will be a new airspace dedicated for drones. They are basically aiming for a paradigm shift which will involve the absence of human involvement in terms of air traffic control for drones.

This is a photograph of our own magnificent mongrel, a cross between a Terrier and a Jack Russell (we think). I have processed the image in Photoshop by adding a texture from The Graphics Fairy in order to bring out the vibrance of his fur coat and the colour of the grass, although that vibrance is missing in the screenshot of the spiral notebook below.
I never thought it was possible to love an animal as much as I love Pisch. Yes, that's his name and before you all start to comment on what it means in German, let me explain that it came about when he was rescued by a friend of ours who wanted to find a home for him. "What do you call him?" I asked. "Pisch," said our friend. He went on to say, "As in the noise you make to get a cat to go away." So there you have it. He's seven years old and I want him to live forever!
I probably wouldn't have put him up for sale, so to speak, had it not been for a Cats & Dogs Challenge at the Art Universe group on Redbubble. I'm still not sure about uploading it to the other galleries. I would have turned him into a digital painting if my GMX-PhotoPainter software was working. But it ain't!
'Yes, he's got all them different kinds of thoroughbred blood in him, and he's got other kinds you ain't mentioned and that you ain't slick enough to see.' – Don Marquis
'He wa'n't no common dog, he wa'n't no mongrel; he was a composite. A composite dog is a dog that is made up of all the valuable qualities that's in the dog breed—kind of a syndicate; and a mongrel is made up of all riffraff that's left over.' – Mark Twain

I'm not particularly good at natural history. I can admire and squeak with delight at a bird or a flower but ask me to name them and I'll look at you blankly. I downloaded this bird print of c.1879 from The Graphics Fairy and since the inestimable Karen Watson had not specified anything other than 'birds', I searched high and low (on Google, of course) to find out what kind of creature I was attempting to 'doctor' with my own textures and vintage postcard background.
It led me to a site selling prints from another copy of the 19th century book from which it comes. I know now that they are finches. If push had come to shove, I'd probably have said swallows.

Playtime! This abstract took two seconds. I lie. It took about five minutes. I had an old photograph of leaves (probably weeds, although I'm sure the green-fingered among you will be able to tell me what it is) in our Cretan garden which I had meant to do something with for aeons.
I used a freebie texture from Design Cuts and placed it on top of the photograph. I chose the 'Difference' blending mode in Photoshop.
There revealed was a rather captivating abstract with greens and golds and purples.

THE GOOD NEWS: my Cosmote internet connection is back to normal…well, as normal as it will ever be in these parts! I had not, it turns out, used my monthly bandwidth limit. Everyone's connection has been unconscionably slow in this area for the last week or so because of the weather — a wind that could knock you flat in a second, let alone destroy elements of the landscape like aerials.
The joy of being able to create again knows no bounds. It soothes my soul. For Oriental Glimpse, I mixed and matched innumerable flower and architectural images from my collection and The Graphics Fairy along with a textured background from Denise at 2 Lil' Owls, courtesy of a specially discounted bundle from Design Cuts.

As it's been a while since I've shown the layers that go into creating a particular image, I thought I'd give you the three pieces that make up Red Rose.
I started with the back of a vintage advertising card from The Old Design Shop.
But no matter what I tried, it would not gel with this rose from The Graphics Fairy.
I discarded it and went in search of a background with reddish tones from 2 Lil' Owls' Effervescent collection and decided upon this number.
The effect created by blending the rose in 'multiply' mode over the top was very pleasing but there was something missing.
I searched through 2 Lil' Owls' French Brocante collection and my first choice proved the perfect addition when blended in 'colour burn' mode and sandwiched between the rose and the 'effervescent' background.
Et voilà!
As I've often said, there's many a tweak and a twist in the process before I'm happy but if you are expecting me to write it all out in this post, you've got another think coming! As Shirley Conran so memorably once said, life's too short to stuff a mushroom, and it's certainly too short to detail each tweak. Pay me and I might!

I took a photograph of this yellow rose some months ago and have played with it ever since to little effect. Until, that is, someone posted a link on Facebook — in the Texture Artists group — to the British artist Sarah Gardner who also sells beautiful textures. Registering with her site gives you a free download of four textures. I added the one pictured below and I was off and running!
The typography elements are from a vintage advert for the Café Royal in London's Regent Street from one of my theatre periodicals dated late 19th and early 20th century, Play Pictorial.

I may buy stock in a bus manufacturer at this rate (SEE: Billionaire Mercer Throws Milo Yiannopoulos Under the Bus).
Politico has just published this excerpt from Donna Brazile's new book, Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns that Put Donald Trump in the White House. Brazile claims Hillary rigged the DNC system:
I had tried to search out any other evidence of internal corruption that would show that the DNC was rigging the system to throw the primary to Hillary, but I
could not find any in party affairs or among the staff. I had gone department by department, investigating individual conduct for evidence of skewed decisions, and I was happy to see that I had found none. Then I found this agreement.
The funding arrangement with HFA and the victory fund agreement was not illegal, but it sure looked unethical. If the fight had been fair, one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead. This was not a criminal act, but as I saw it, it compromised the party's integrity....
I had to keep my promise to Bernie. I was in agony as I dialed him. Keeping this secret was against everything that I stood for, all that I valued as a woman and as a public servant.
"Hello, senator. I've completed my review of the DNC and I did find the cancer," I said. "But I will not kill the patient."
I told Bernie I had found Hillary's Joint Fundraising Agreement. I explained that the cancer was that she had exerted this control of the party long before she became its nominee. Had I known this, I never would have accepted the interim chair position, but here we were with only weeks before the election.
Bernie took this stoically. He did not yell or express outrage. Instead he asked me what I thought Hillary's chances were. The polls were unanimous in her winning but what, he wanted to know, was my own assessment?
I had to be frank with him. I did not trust the polls, I said. I told him I had visited states around the country and I found a lack of enthusiasm for her everywhere. I was concerned about the Obama coalition and about millennials.
I urged Bernie to work as hard as he could to bring his supporters into the fold with Hillary, and to campaign with all the heart and hope he could muster. He might find some of her positions too centrist, and her coziness with the financial elites distasteful, but he knew and I knew that the alternative was a person who would put the very future of the country in peril. I knew he heard me. I knew he agreed with me, but I never in my life had felt so tiny and powerless as I did making that call.
When I hung up the call to Bernie, I started to cry, not out of guilt, but out of anger.

I've had a very productive and exciting 2015, but also a very difficult year. Today sums up the irony of all those breakthroughs still garnering me not -enough paid work and so forth. You don't need to know the 'so forth' – I've been chronicling it all year.
And that was my year in summary. My NY resolution is very mild. I intend to be a bit more public about my research processes. I'll tweet and FB them and I'll continue to do occasional posts here. This is because I had one too many person say to me glowingly "I read seven books for the research for my historical novel. I understand everything!" The year before people said "What book should I read?"
I'm not up to most secondary sources yet, though I should be, soon. I used last year to get a handle on the best way to research. It was going to be tricky, for my 17th century goes against modern thoughts about it (since modern thoughts believe the magic and folk belief to be unreal and in my novel this will not be the case) so I had to delve into primary sources to work out just how much things differed. remember those 1000+ books I got hold of? I'm down to the hard end of them, which is slower but infinitely more exciting. My task for January was 150 books (from this morning only 137, for I'm reading cleverly – the skills of the historian are exceptionally handy in real life!) and by the end of that I'll have my world framework and a lot of the material I need for my timeline and my plot. I'll then spend a few weeks putting it in perspective and pulling it to pieces using the main modern scholarship in the field, which will probably mean me arguing aloud a lot as I read things.
For me creating an argument is essential to crafting a novel. Under each and every novel I write is a serious argument about something I'm passionate about. These arguments are not always obvious. They don't need to be. Readers can (and do) read my novels as superficial and I'm happy. For story counts and characters count just as much as argument.
What the argument does is not only help structure the novel, it helps me work out what I need of all the information I gather. I read this much for Langue[dot]doc 1305 (it didn't show, for some of it overlapped for the Beast and in my novel's bibliography I only listed the books I read specifically and separately) and my argument helped me winnow the chaff, so that the only stuff that appeared directly in the novel was what I needed to tell the precise story. I spent a whole week sorting out rulership for the region, and some of my results were inconclusive and I had to rely on extrapolation. That whole week came out in Guilhem's disaffection and in who could call him to account, and in a comment on keys.
My NY gift to myself was to understand how people saw the world. How different English people from different backgrounds interpreted the globe and its regions and countries, mainly. This was what I did from when I got home early this morning until when things cooled down enough to sleep. It was wonderful!
From 1660, the regions of the world were seen differently, but until the 1680s, books continued to be published that used the old view, the one without the terra incognita borealis and australis (borealis turned out to include Greenland!). The easiest way to think of it is that Australia was possible for people with a new education or the right geography book but not for others, and everyone still lived with quite a bit of the Macrobian description I already knew from the Middle Ages. Mesopotamia is part of Asia, and Jews do not exist anywhere (most of the geographies listed the religions of the region, and in no region was anyone Jewish – I wasn't going to include any Jewish characters, but now I wonder if I couldn't make a really good moment in Paris…). It was because of this precise moment of the universe changing that I'm writing this novel, but it was really exciting to see it expressed in maps and geographies. A very wonderful way to start the New Year!
Have a wonderful New Year, everyone, and enjoy many good books!

According to the World Health Organization, Obesity turns out to be one of the main problems of the public health in the Western societ. We are in front of a global epidemic that is spreading in many countries and which can cause, in the absence of immediate action, very serious health problems in the coming years.
What is Obesity?
Obesity is a condition characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat, usually because of poor diets and a sedentary lifestyle. Obesity and overweight conditions are often associated with premature death and are now universally recognized as risk factors for major chronic diseases.
At the cardiovascular system level the effects of obesity are often found: arteriosclerosis, heart disease, hypertension, cerebral vascular disease, coronary heart disease, stroke and heart attack. At osteo-articular level obesity may develop arthritis, osteoarthritis and other osteo-artricular diseases. In obese patients there is also a increased risk of developing certain cancers, especially cancer of the stomach, colon, breast, gallbladder and endometrium.
Often obese people develop type 2 mellitus diabetes, hyperlipidemia, gallstones and metabolic problems. On the psychological level, obesity can completely disrupt the life of a person who has a reduced self-esteem, and therefore isolates itself from others.
According to the data from the Italian Superior Institute of Health shown on the tenth edition of 'Obesity Day' held October 10th to 11th 2010, 10% of the Italian adult population is obese and rises to 15% in children. These data are steadily increasing.
Last year in Italy there were 50.000 deaths from diseases related to obesity. Children obesity is continuing to rise and according to a study conducted in 2004 (Hesketh, Wake and Waters) there is a link between low self-esteem and excess of weight in obese children.
A disturbing fact is represented by the persistence of obesity from infant-age to adults, resulting in increased risk for physical and mental health.

I will admit to one of my (many) personal faults. I am a procrastinator. I have great ambitions, and my great ambitions become motivated ideas, and motivated ideas become intense projects, and intense projects morph into fatigue and burn-out...
My "modus operandi" is to continue plugging through the fatigue and burn out until a project becomes "usable", "livable", and "operational". Then, I "take a break" from the project - usually until the Mother of Five can no longer stand seeing the project unfinished, and "motivates me" to complete the task.
So, it is with great enthusiasm that I can FINALLY say... After 3.916 years - or 47 months - or 204 weeks - or 1,432 days - or 34,344 hours - or 2,060,640 minutes - or 123,638,400 seconds - I am going call one of my "back burner" project "complete"... (Well, at least the "construction" component is complete).
On May 8, 2006 - I "broke ground" on our deck.
From May 08, 2006 - July 03, 2006 I worked almost non stop on the deck. I kicked off the project with a (nearly) two week vacation. Most every waking moment (that was not spent at work) was spent on that deck. Since I was not at work, I kept my co-worker and good friend Billup to date with my progress through my regular posts (detailing what I had accomplished). Then, once back to work - shared my progress in person.
Truthfully, the deck project was also the "kick off" to this blog! Most entries made that summer were about the deck, so it feels sort of "surreal" to complete this project. Almost like the blog existed to update people about my deck progress (No worries though... I have no plans on shutting down FOF!)
Like I said in my admission... When I last worked on the deck, it was in a "more than usable" condition. The actual deck surface was complete, the railings and spindles were up, and a gate was in place. Where the deck was "lacking" was the stairs. The stair stringers were in place, and all the treads and risers (steps) were in place sans one actual tread (I had run out of that board). I had placed some scrap "two by" lumber in place so the steps were usable. One side of the stairs were protected by the deck. The other side I had put up a makeshift hand-rail (that was not complete), but would provide a minimum level of protection and something to grab in the event of a "slip". (Thankfully, that never needed to be tested)
Once the deck was in a usable condition, (and being "burned out" on the project) the incomplete stair case sat for the rest of the summer. Summer became fall and, as fall became winter, the remaining lumber was neatly sorted along the side of the house.
Over the next three years, I struggled with this incomplete deck. The kids (and the neighbor kids) would rummage through the wood pile and grab "swords" and "rifles" out of the pile (it's amazing what little boys will use to replicate weapons when their parents (that's us) won't buy them toy guns...). Every time I mowed, I would have to police the yard for my deck lumber.
I also struggled with the design. I knew what I wanted, I knew what the building code required, and I knew what I did not want. The inspector has been by at least once each calendar year - reminding me that I need to finish the project and get my building permit signed off on, and completed - which would motivate me a bit, but not enough to actually resume the project.
And, finally (let's be honest here) - I struggled with my own laziness and procrastination. After all, it was "usable"... Right?
- - - - -
Since I have another significant project I want to undertake in the not too distant future, I want and need to clear my slate of a few "incomplete" projects - the deck being one of the bigger and more embarrassing of the bunch.
With my regular days off, and a couple of extra added (as a mini-vacation) - I had started gearing up to get SOMETHING productive done... The deck was #1 on my list.
Saturday was spent cleaning the house for Easter. Sunday was Easter. Monday was errand Dance class / Scout day. Tuesday was... well, I don't recall, but it was not "deck" day. But Tuesday night I realized that my mini-vacation was over the half way mark, and I had not accomplished anything productive.
Wednesday morning I was outside bright and early. I took inventory of what lumber I had left, assessed the condition of the staircase and what still needed to be done, I made a shopping list, picked up lumber, parts, and tools that I still needed.
I also stumbled upon my next big project - not anything I was expecting to do...
Stay tuned for more on that.
Two FULL days later (that included some de-construction of the existing railings) the stair tread, riser, railing top cap, handrail, and all spindles are in place and secured.
I can officially state that the "construction portion" of the deck is COMPLETE!
Last year, I did stain and waterproof main portion of the deck. (That's why the staircase is not all stained) - I am going to need to re-coat the main flooring and put a first coat on the staircase (that includes all the new work). Once the deck is stained, Mr. Building-Inspector-Man comes a knocking, (and after I wake him up from passing out after seeing the deck finally complete) - will be able to say that the deck is 100% complete...
It sure does feel good to say that!

Cashback websites establish deals with a variety of big name companies who offer them special deals when sales are generated from their site. The cashback website then shares this discount with its customers. So, for example, an insurance company might offer a 5% discount on its policies to a cashback website. You visit the cashback website and click through to the insurance company and buy a policy. The cashback website then shares its revenue with you and pays you 2.5% of what you spent on the policy. These percentages are just an example and vary widely.
The best cashback websites actually pay you 100% of the commission they receive from the retailer and generate their own profits by taking a small annual amount from your total cashback and/or by receiving sales bonuses from the retailers.
There are many of these cashback websites around with each one representing different retailers. You'll need to sign-up with them to open an account before you start shopping but don't join too many as they'll set a minimum payment amount which you must reach before they'll send you your cashback. If you join too many you may never reach that minimum on any of the sites. Here are two of the best ones:
Quidco.com is the UK's top cashback and voucher code website with nearly 60% market share. According to their website "Half of the UK shopped online last month – but 95% paid more than they needed to." They have over 1 million members and grow by approximately 40,000 new members a month. Quidco claim that their members can save an average of £250 a year on their online purchases at over 2,800 retailers including many travel service providers.
Quidco.com is of particular interest because not only do they pay you 100% of the cashback they earn, they also allow you to register your credit card or debit card with them and still earn the cashback when you shop in-store as well as online. They take £5 from your cashback earnings every year.
Topcashback.co.uk is the other major player in the UK cashback website market which has the added advantage of not charging any annual fee to its customers.
Look for Online Discount Vouchers
Voucher Codes are simply special codes which will get you a discount when you shop with participating online retailers. For millions of internet savvy UK shoppers voucher sites have become a way of life. They have an ever changing selection of discount vouchers covering the whole retail market including travel offers.
They are worth looking at once you've found a deal you're interested in elsewhere to see if you can still get that price down even more. Here are a few of the main voucher websites in the UK:
Myvouchercodes.co.uk has established a community of shoppers who regularly contribute voucher codes and other promotional offers that they come across both online and offline. Their discount codes focus mainly on the retail sector but some hotel, car hire, airport parking and travel insurance offers do appear. You can sign up for their newsletter to receive their latest discount codes.
Hotdeals.com is a non-commercial site which is a great place for consumers to share genuine advice about good deals they've found. You can register for free and commercial marketing isn't permitted.

Columbus Washboard Company celebrates 120 yearsJune 20, 2015
LOGAN — A local staple of the community, the Columbus Washboard Company, is celebrating an auspicious milestone this year as the company turns an incredible 120 years old.
According to the history of the Columbus Washboard Company, it was officially started when Frederic Martin Sr. started building washboards for resale from his backyard in 1895.
He would continue to hand make the washboards over the next 30 years, and though no sales information is available, it is estimated that fewer than 1,000 washboards were made and sold during that time.
Everything changed in 1925 when Martin's son, Frederic Martin Jr., purchased the company from his father. At the time, the company consisted of a metal crimping machine, a few saws, and the patent for the "Bear On Easy" washboard.
The first year in the hands of Frederic Jr. saw more sales than the combined estimate of the 30 years prior, with the first year yielding 1,322 washboards sold.
Over the next five years, sales peaked at 20,436 washboards in a year. Then, in 1941, sales peaked at an incredible 1,278,757 per year.
Over the years the numbers have declined as other methods have gained popularity, but the company continues to sell approximately 20,000 washboards each year.
Throughout the years, the company offered several different types of washboard featuring different textures and sizes as well as different metals — even creating boards made of glass or wood during the metal shortages during WWII.
Today, the different variations of boards are all available, and still made by hand using the traditional methods upon which the company was founded.
Even some of the original equipment is still used, though for safety reasons some pieces have been modified or replaced. The poplar wood that is used to build the washboards is grown and harvested locally.
There were only three real changes made to the process of making the washboards over the last 120 years; the employees who build the boards now use a nail gun for the six nails that hold the board together, the logos are now screen-printed onto the wood by a local company for a clearer picture, and the metal that is used for the washboards is now purchased in large rolls that are already the proper width, eliminating some of the waste.
In 1999, when the owners were considering closing the doors, the Columbus-based company was purchased by a new group of people; Jan Richards, George D. Richards, Linda Franklin, Karen Schwab, Pam Gartin, Bevan and Jacqui Barnett, and Larry Gerstner, who proceeded to relocate the business to Logan.
The business is currently owned through a joint partnership between Joyce and Larry Gerstner, Jacqui and Bevan Barnett, and James Martin, who was brought in to replace Jacqui as factory manager when she stepped down.
"We're very glad that we did it in 1999 when this opportunity became available," said Jacqui. "It was sacrilege to me that all that old machinery would be just trashed and sold for scrap. I'm really glad that we kept it running."
There were times when the new owners worried that the efforts to keep the business open would be in vain.
September 11, 2001 was a very difficult time, not only as a nation, but for many people as a business. According to Jacqui, sales went down in many areas that were considered non-essential, and for many people washboards fall into that category.
Washboards are a product used primarily by a select group of consumers, and so in order to continue to support themselves, the company has expanded its inventory to include not only washboards, but soaps, laundry supplies, salves, creams, and even butter.
Other products being released this year include a clothes airer to dry clothes and gardening twine made from all-natural materials.
Martin also helped the company expand its market by getting active online and building relationships with companies overseas. This effort, as well as steps such as working with tourism, has helped the company stay afloat when all others like it have faded away.
The company is celebrating its 120th year by building a limited edition washboard featuring its own unique model number, the original spiral texture in the metal, and one of the original logos.
"You can't invent history like this," said factory manager James Martin. "This is just awesome."
Though the Washboard Music Festival is run by a different entity, the Columbus Washboard Factory will be selling items during the festivities, which begins this evening.
Visitors are also welcome to visit the factory and see how the washboards and other items are made on guided tours.
For more information about the Columbus Washboard Factory, call 740-380-3828 or visit www.columbuswashboard.com

"What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found [it], he lays [it] on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together [his] friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!" Luke 15:4-6 NKJV
These verses did not come up when I ran a topical search on Gods love for me. But as I prayed this morning, this is where the Spirit lead. Reading over the familiar passage, I could hear the wonderful, slight brogue of Alistair Begg as he animated these verses in a sermon I listened to over a year ago.
"You see, I love that wee lamb, and I'm going after her . . ."
Love in action. That's what this passage is. Though I am but a small lamb in a large flock, insignificant on the surface, ordinary and easily passed over, Jesus says, "I love you, and I'll seek you out when you lose your way. I'll find you, and when I do, I will lift your trembling frame to my shoulders, because I know that your tired and afraid, and I will carry you back to safety. And I will rejoice, for I have found my lost lamb."
Wow. That kind of love goes beyond a proclamation . . . A love that pursues is true love indeed. And I am the object of His pursuit.

Testimonial: RLI is for Closet Leaders!
|First year Rotarian,
Barbara Parker
I share with you a recent testimonial by Barbara Parker, a first-year Rotarian in the Blowing Rock, NC Rotary Club, District 7670, a long time Rotarian spouse of a Past Governor, and a participant at the Part I Cary (Raleigh) NC RLI on January 19, 2013.
My motivation to attend RLI was a little different from most of the participants. I am not preparing for a leadership position, nor do I have aspirations to be a club officer. My focus is on learning about Rotary and making sense of things I experienced during my year as a District Governor Spouse.
Rotarians are by nature deprecating people. They put their light under the bushel, and they do not see themselves as leaders. I believe every Rotarian is a leader, or he/she would not have been asked to join our great organization. Tell these individuals that the Rotary Leadership Institute will develop their leadership skills and they will reply, "I do not want to be a leader." That was my reaction for a while. Thank goodness I did not end with that phrase.
RLI is so much more than leadership training. It is empowerment. I was shocked to realize that my opinion was listened to and then repeated in another segment later in the day. One of my big fears was that I would have to do something that made me look foolish. I was certainly prepared to say "NO". That never happened. The sessions were thought provoking, non threatening, and invigorating.
We need to get that message out to Rotarians. If we can get them into a session just to learn about Rotary—in the club, the District, and the world—without the pressure of a leadership position, we may empower them to be the leaders they do not know they are.
I will continue to hold RLI moments in my club. Even if only one person signs up, RLI and Rotary are richer by one. Thank you for a truly wonderful experience this last weekend. I look forward to Session Two and plan to follow on with Session Three. Then I plan to wear my RLI Graduate status with pride. Barbara

Dad Who Beat 2-Day-Old Daughter to Death Found Murdered in Cell
A man who punched and violently shook his two-day-old daughter to death has been found dead in his prison cell.
Authorities said 22-year-old Liam Deane was found dead in his cell at HMP Leeds in mid-November, just one month after he was imprisoned for brutally killing his daughter Luna in their home.
Another inmate, John Westland, 28, has been charged with murder in the incident.
Westland stood next to two police officers and a member of court escort staff as he was brought into the dock last November.
He remained handcuffed for the duration of the short hearing, speaking only to confirm his personal details.
Due to the severity of the crime, Westland was told that his case was being sent to Leeds Crown Court.
On August 1, Westland, who was serving a sentence for rape and grievous bodily harm, was found guilty of the offense.

It is important to hire a DUI attorney at the onset of being interrogated or charged with a DUI in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A DUI attorney can help you navigate through the criminal justice system and provide a legal defense to any claim(s) the prosecutor may bring forth against you.
Though more individuals are handling their own DUI cases, doing so is extremely risky and could result in you serving unwanted jail time. You should contact an Ann Arbor DUI attorney for a free consultation to discuss the charge(s) asserted against you and the legal action you can take to protect your innocence.
The Benefits of Hiring a DUI Attorney ASAP
If you hire a DUI attorney at the onset of your case, your attorney will have a sufficient amount of time to review the charge(s) asserted against you and gather evidence to defend you while formulating a viable defense. Depending on your attorney's legal experience, he/she can get the charge(s) against you reduced or completely dismissed.
If you hire an attorney in the middle of your case, say right before you go to trial, you may miss the opportunity to possibly enter into a plea deal, or have evidence excluded through pre-trial motions.
Being convicted of a DUI can affect both your social life and career prospects. If you are convicted of a DUI in Michigan, you will not be able to later expunge the conviction. The conviction will come up on all criminal background checks conducted on your behalf. Hire an attorney ASAP to protect your legal rights.
How to Find a Washtenaw County DUI Attorney
There are several online resources you can use to find a Washtenaw County DUI attorney. You can conduct an online Google search to find a list of attorneys in Washtenaw County that represent individuals charged with a DUI. You can also search drunk driving attorney directories such as Findlaw or Avvo to find an attorney as well.
I invite you to contact me to discuss your DUI case in more detail. I provide free drunk driving case consultations to Washtenaw County residents. I am here to provide you with a peace of mind and get the charge(s) against you reduced or completely dismissed. You can call me at (734)274-6567 or email me to schedule a consultation.
