Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Crashes Jimmy Kimmel's Oscar Special (Video)
Disgraced Toronto mayor Rob Ford made a cameo on Jimmy Kimmel's Oscar special Sunday evening following the Academy Awards.
Midway through the broadcast, Kimmel promoted Ford's upcoming appearance, admitting that he has "never been more excited about a guest than I am for this one."
PHOTOS: Oscars 2014: Best and Worst Moments
And that was when Ford -- dressed in a tuxedo -- came through the doors of Kimmel's Jimmy Kimmel Live! studio, across the street from the Dolby Theatre, where the 86th annual Academy Awards were held, seemingly confused by when he was supposed to appear. "Oh, sorry Jimmy," Ford said after waving to the audience. Ford will be an official guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday evening.
Later, when Kimmel's lead guest Kevin Spacey appeared on the couch, the late-night host thanked the two-time Oscar winner for sharing a dressing room with Ford. "Well, he threw up all over it," Spacey joked.
STORY: Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Arrives in L.A.
On Saturday evening, Jimmy Kimmel Live! released photos of Kimmel picking up Ford from the Los Angeles International Airport, with the caption "Toronto Mayor Rob Ford had a special chauffeur at LAX this evening."
In recent months Kimmel has staged a series of pranks -- from a viral "Twerk Fail" video to a fake Sochi Olympics clip -- that have fooled news outlets and garnered attention for the show.

Just like Bethesda, the PC Gaming show is a relative newcomer to E3, starting back in 2015. Since then, it hasn't quite hit the highs that Bethesda managed but it's eclectic, unbiased look at PC games from many different companies has been insightful.
This year had host Sean [Day9] Platt take us on a lethargic jaunt through several new games coming out soon on PC platforms. While he was entertaining as always, the conference itself felt quite slow, choosing a tell-don't-show approach by interviewing developers rather than simply showing gameplay for the games on stage. Before we score the conference overall though, let's take a look at what was announced.
XCOM 2: War of the Chosen – August 29
Firaxis had a new DLC pack to announce for their long-running XCOM franchise, War of the Chosen. Jake Soloman, the creative director of the game, came on stage to say it was twice the size of any previous XCOM expansion packs containing new enemies, new characters and new maps.
The story will focus around three factions of Chosen, the new enemies who are made up of enemies following different strategies. Soloman gave the examples of the Hunter, a sniper-based team and the Warlock which uses psionics to fight. Players will fight each Chosen on multiple occasions and they will power-up procedurally, gaining new abilities and weapons.
In order to fight them, players will need to recruit three rebel factions that are separate from the XCOM movement which will function similarly to the Chosen. Finally, it looks like they are introducing a new type of enemy called the Lost (read: zombies) which are the people left behind in the destroyed cities of Earth.
Like most other trailers in this show, the trailer was almost entirely cinematic and showed no real gameplay but it seems as though Firaxis is taking a very story-based approach which is interesting for a strategy title based on player choice.
Ooblets – 2018
We actually got a brief look at Ooblets during the Xbox presser but during the PC conference, we got to see a full cinematic trailer for the game which was toted as being a mix of Harvest Moon and Pokemon.
From the look of things, this will be a simulation game where you use farming to grow creatures that will fight other creatures for you. The trailer showed different seasons and locations but it's hard to say what the game will actually be about or if it will have just an aimless simulation style to it. Either way, if you're into games like Stardew Valley or Viva Pinata, it looks like something you should keep an eye on.
Battletech – Unknown
Battletech was successfully kickstarted to the tune of $2.7 MILLION back in 2015 but since then, those of us who aren't backers haven't gotten to see much from this revival of the Pen and Paper RPG. UNTIL NOW!!
A bit over the top? Fair enough, but for Battletech fans, they have been waiting a long time for this and have a right to be excited. The turn-based game looks to bring the full combat system from the tabletop game into a strategy title and it looks like they have been pretty successful thus far.
If I have one criticism, it's that environments don't look particularly exciting although taking out individual parts on enemy mechs sounds fantastic. The game was originally estimated to come out in May 2017 and that… obviously didn't happen. Unfortunately, we didn't get a new release date which is quite disappointing for a delayed game but they did say that their closed beta would be starting soon and they are currently taking sign-ups on their website. If you are desperate for some Battletech, that may be worth a look.
Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord – Unknown
Mount & Blade 2 has been in development for at least five years now and considering the rabid fanbase behind the original title, I was expecting a bit more from this reveal. Mount & Blade was an RPG franchise that thrived in it's crunchy realism, letting you build up a character and deal with medieval factions in a realistic fashion.
If you didn't know better, watching this trailer would make you think this is a poorly done medieval Dynasty Warriors where all you do is hack up bland characters in the most lifeless setting imaginable. Seriously, it was just a big valley of nothing. Mount & Blade has never been known for it's graphical prowess but this is ridiculous! I'm hoping that this is not indicative of the final product because this reveal was a massive disappointment.
Total War: Warhammer 2 – September 28
Total War: Warhammer was a surprising take on the Total War franchise, introducing story and fantasy elements into a previously historical fiction-based series. It may not have been expected but it was certainly welcome as it released to huge critical acclaim and they are keeping that ball a-rolling with Total War: Warhammer 2 this year.
This game will focus on the High Elves, Lizardmen, Dark Elves and a yet unannounced fourth race as they battle for supremacy of the Great Vortex in Ulthuan. Players will learn from ability trees and will have even more options than before when waging their war.
Shadowverse: Wonderland Dreams – June 29th
Shadowverse released last year to critical acclaim although not a whole lot of commercial recognition. Still, fans of the series have become intensely devoted over the last year and they will be rewarded with a new expansion coming out in just over 2 weeks. As it is a card game, the trailer didn't show much because, let's be honest here, how do you do a gameplay trailer for a card game? But here's an anime girl!
Intel Tech Talk
Intel was the sponsor of this PC Gaming show this year and thus, they wanted to reiterate some of their announcements from earlier this week as well. Most of it was just tooting their own horn but there was some relevant information for gamers as well. In case you missed it and are into building super-computers, Intel announced their new i9X series of chips with up to 18 cores. These things are nuts and the price tag reflects that as the cheapest in this line will run you $999! That alone is more than my whole rig cost me!
Still, if you invest, several games including the upcoming Destiny 2, will fully support these chips which should make for some very speedy games. They also wanted to announce that they will be sponsoring the Ready at Dawn devs to make Echo Arena, the upcoming VR Ender's Game remake (not really) free at launch for a limited time. Note that this will only be the multiplayer portion, NOT the single player Lone Echo. That will be out for Oculus Rift owners on July 20th.
Blog Montage!
Several more games were shown off that didn't have many actual details so let me blast through a few of these really quickly for you!
- Secret Legend is now called Tunic! – Release Date Unknown – Isometric cutesy RPG(??)
- PlayerUnknown's Battleground – New updates coming every month and will include new weapons, maps, dynamic weather, 3D replays and vaulting over fences!
- Killing Floor 2 Summer Sideshow – Weekly Outbreak mode featuring new minigames and challenges along with a carnival themed map which is open for one month starting TOMORROW. The game will also be free all week and will have 50 new unlockable customization items.
- Forza Motorsport 7 – Coming day and date to PC upon release for Xbox One and will feature compatibility with any USB device (including Guitar Hero guitars and DDR pads! If you're insane!)
- Sea of Thieves – It's coming to PC! That's… pretty much it.
- Wargroove – Release Date Unknown – Advance Wars spiritual successor, it looks and plays identically but with more types of units and maps. It also contains a full campaign and scenario editor letting players make their own branching campaigns.
- Middle-Earth: Shadow of War – October 10 – Nothing new here we didn't know during the Xbox conference but it still looks amazing!
The Last Night
We got some more details about the upcoming pixelart adventure game The Last Night but I wanted to spotlight this game for a reason. Apparently, some tweets surfaced yesterday by the game's creator Tim Soret in which he publicly supported the GamerGate movement from a few years ago and actively attacked so-called SJWs. Because of this, the game was getting some heat online from some gamers.
Tim Soret came on stage to talk about his game but started off apologizing for these tweets. He said this does not reflect who he is today and that he was sorry about what he had said. He then went on to discuss elements of the game which will include a time-based mechanic where situations will change depending on what part of the night you are into. An example given was that if you need to break into an apartment, there may be guards overnight but in the morning, the guards may be gone, replaced by tenants that are home. It'll be interesting to see how this game takes form and if it will survive the political heat.
Ylands –
Ylands is the new game from Bohemia Interactive. Yeah, THAT Bohemia Interactive. The folks behind the ultra-realistic ARMA series. They made this goofy polygonal survival sandbox. Surprising, right?
Anyway, this game looks like a pleasant mix between Minecraft and LittleBigPlanet in that the game works as a survival game but can be made into anything you want it to be. A later part of the trailer even showed a race track and players racing each other in cars.
Since it's coming from Bohemia, it can be pretty safely assumed that this game will receive heavy mod support and may become one hell of a sandbox depending on how players choose to use it. The Alpha is available right now on their website and will be coming to Steam early access soon.
Griftlands – 2017/2018 (whatever that means)
Griftlands is the new game by Klei, the folks behind Mark of the Ninja and Don't Starve. It's hard to say exactly what this game is but it appears to be an RPG of sorts where players pick up party members to go and hunt for treasure with them. The cinematic trailer didn't show much but the art style was distinctly Klei and ought to make Don't Starve fans very happy.
Lawbreakers – Beta: June 30, Full Release: August 8
Cliff Blezinski has moved on from Gears of War and is almost ready to release his next new game, Lawbreakers, which he is making independently. Lawbreakers looks to take on Overwatch by going back to the basics of competitive shooters. The game is fast and ultra-twitchy, much like Quake or Unreal Tournament, but with the added challenge of dealing with gravity altering effects.
Cliffy-B has stated that he wants to add the verticality into the game like nothing else has done and he looks like he may have succeeded. Trailers showed players flying through the air with movements and shots have instantaneous life-or-death impacts.
Age of Empires Definitive Edition – Multiplayer Beta: Today
Microsoft made a surprising, if odd, announcement today that they are releasing an Age of Empires remake called Definitive Edition. What makes this announcement particularly strange is that we already got a remake of Age of Empires 2 a few years ago. While it will be a nice nostalgia trip for players looking to experience the first one all over again, it's odd to be going backwards in time considering they're still making new expansions to Age of Empires 2.
The PC Gaming show moved at a very slow pace and was rather light on details or actual gameplay footage. Still, the interview style was interesting and had potential if companies were willing to drop a bit more pieces of information. Also, it is still nice to have some information about PC games since that is not something we're used to getting at E3.
Score: C+

At Precision Family Eye Care, we strive to make your experience as convenient and comfortable as possible. To help with a seamless experience, this page will cover what information and materials you will need to bring to your eye exam at Precision Family Eye Care.
A complete PDF file of patient forms is available at the bottom middle of the home page. If desired, these forms can be filled out ahead of time and brought to your appointment. As technology improves, we will soon be offering online patients forms to expedite history taking.
It is imperative that all patients fill out the patient health history forms fully. Many common conditions such as, diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, arthritis, or even getting hit in the eye as a child, can have a serious impact on your eye health. In addition, ALL MEDICINES including over the counter medicines, supplements, and vitamins need to be listed. Many of these medications can affect the health of the eye or glasses prescriptions or may require additional testing or monitoring.
Finally, DIABETIC EYE DISEASE is the leading cause of blindness between the ages 25-65, all diabetic patients need to bring (or be familiar) with their most recent blood work (including their typical fasting blood sugar (FBS) and their last HbA1c value (commonly referred to as "A1C"). It is also helpful to supply the name and phone/fax for the treating primary care doctor or endocrinologist. These pieces of information are very important and allow us to use the findings of our exam to better understand your current control level and to communicate these findings via a personalized letter to your managing doctor in a timely manner.
All patients need to bring both their medical insurance card and vision insurance card (if supplied) along with a photo ID to every visit. The insurance world is always changing and can be confusing. Therefore, we highly recommend that all patients review our explanation of Vision Insurance vs Medical Insurance to better understand how insurances benefits function in eye care.
Please also see our pages on Vision Insurances and Medical Insurances to see what insurance we are currently accepting.
The dilation of the eye is a vitally important and often misunderstood part of the eye exam. There are some situations where dilating the eyes is necessary for prescribing proper glasses or contact lenses. Most of the time, dilation is used for health purposes to rule out cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, along with many, many other conditions. When looking through an un-dilated pupil it is only possible to view about 10-15% of the retina, however, with dilation we are able to view and analyze 100% of the inside of the eye.
Some eye care providers will happily offer to sell you alternatives to dilation, however, dilation is included and a covered under all medical and vision insurances as part of a Comprehensive Ocular Health Exam and is the ONLY test that allows a clear and 100% view of the inside of the eye. We are committed to healthy eyes, and as a result, all new patients to our office are expected to be dilated at their first visit as part of a Comprehensive Exam and ALL DIABETICS (or patients with confirmed ocular disease) will be expected to be dilated often to look for changes to the retina.
Side effects from dilation usually last 3-4 hours and include light sensitivity which will require sunglasses (temporary sunglasses are provided) and blurriness with reading is common if you are under 50 years of age. Dilation will not substantially affect distance vision or the ability to drive a vehicle.
It is very helpful for the doctor to be aware of what prescription glasses and contacts you are currently using. Please bring any old pairs of glasses or empty boxes of contact lenses to your first visit. This may sound unimportant but bringing this information with you will allow the doctor to tell if there is a change in your prescription and will help to ensure that you are prescribed a precision pair of glasses or contact lenses.
At Precision Family Eye Care we carry and recommended only the highest quality frames and spectacle lens options. However, we understand that picking out that perfect new pair of eyeglasses can sometimes be an overwhelming and confusing process. With the number of lens types, material, coatings, bifocals and options ever increasing we want our patients to fully understand what is available and why we recommended certain options for certain individuals.
We strongly recommend that all new patients to our office or anyone interested in better understanding glasses options and how they work, to visit our Demystifying Lens Options page. Here we go through all the commonly encountered lens materials, coatings, and bifocals types, making you, our patients, more educated consumers.

Penn Valley Park Conservancy
Restoring, preserving and enhancing historic Penn Valley Park
as a vital urban green space and as a recreational and cultural resource
for the enjoyment of all through education, advocacy and public/private partnerships
About PVP
1893 Report
Historic Resources Survey of the 1893 Parks & Boulevard System, Kansas City, Missouri
Prepared by Deon K. Wolfenbarger for the Prairie Gateway Chapter, American Society of Landscape Architects.
Penn Valley Park is significant for its association with the events surrounding the park movement in Kansas City. As one of the triad of major parks in Kesslers original 1893 park system plan, it was the object of much intense local debate. Many voluntary groups were formed in the mid-nineties for the purpose of supporting various park projects. The most active of these was the improvement association formed by the property owners living around the Pen Street ravine. Although Penn Valley was among the Boards original recommendations for acquisition, it as really the local citizens who banded together and saw to it that site purchased for the park was larger than the Boards original proposal. The transformation of the area from the cheap houses and rubble to a finished park of natural beauty so impressed property owners in a neighboring residential district hat they purchased a similar tract of land and donated it to the city for a park. This tract became Roanoke Park.
Penn Valley Park is significant in the area of landscape architecture as the work of a master, George Kessler. Although the site had natural beauty, for years it was hidden by cheap housing and stores. After the condemnation proceedings, the land was pocked with old cellar excavations and rubbish heaps. Due to the steep topography, runoff water from the higher ground on the south, east, and west was washing away precious topsoil, which was so necessary for the new plantings. Kesslers engineering and artistic skills are quite evident in the solutions he devised for this problem. An earth dam was built across the low northwest section, and water allowed to fill the basin to form a lake. As not all of the park drained into the lake, a system of underground drains was constructed to divert the runoff. Over three miles of park drives also carried away water with cement gutters. Kesslers skill in enhancing the natural beauty of the site is also evident in the series of lookout points throughout the park, which afforded a variety of views of the city. The circulation system took advantage of these views and of easy grades wherever possible on this difficult site. In places where the roads were cut into limestone cliffs, specially designed masonry foundations blended in with stone ledges above.
Penn Valley Park, with the Liberty Memorial, is an example of a particular style of landscape architecture, while at the same time an example of time sequences as well. The majority of the park retains features of the American Romantic style of park design, while at the same time showing necessary adaptations for modern lifestyles. Like the other parks from this period it has many excellent examples of the stone features, which were constructed to blend with the naturalistic park design.

Neha had always wanted to visit her childhood friend Akriti who stayed in Hong Kong for quite a long time, but things were not materialising. Both were busy with their hectic schedules and couldn't plan the trip. Finally, after months of planning, both zeroed in on a schedule and now Neha was pretty excited. She had heard a lot about the idiosyncratic and thrilling city bustling with life and energy. Upon her arrival at this vibrant city, she visited all the major attractions. Along with her friend, Neha went to see the top view of the city from Victoria Peak; visited the Big Buddha and the historic temples of the city. Apart from sightseeing, shopping was one of the priorities on Neha's list as she planned to buy souvenirs for everyone in the family. They visited lower Kowloon, the Causeway Bay and the Times Square. Neha was amazed by the collections at the high-end designer stores. However, midway through her shopping spree, Neha fell short of money. She was still left with buying a lot of gifts. At this moment, Akriti helped her and lent enough money to complete her shopping. On coming back to India, Neha wanted to return the money to Akriti. Only, she didn't have any idea about how to send money to Hong Kong. Her father suggested her to use the wire transfer services by IndusInd Bank as that was the fastest and the best way to send money to Hong Kong.
The Best Way to Send Money to Hong Kong
IndusInd Bank offers wire transfer services to send money to Hong Kong and other countries. Wire Transfer is a safe and secure way to transfer foreign currency to overseas countries.
Also known as Telegraphic Transfer (TT), Wire Transfer is an electronic way of transferring money to bank accounts abroad. The transaction takes place through the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication or SWIFT. IndusInd Bank is a member of SWIFT and therefore, offers fast and secure transfer of foreign currency to overseas accounts.

Fourteen new qualifying and race lap records were set in 2017 as Michelin returned as the championship's sole tyre supplier. At Thruxton in May Mike Bushell became the first driver in UK Clio Cup history to win a race at an average speed of more than 100mph…
Now Michelin predicts more records could tumble in 2018 as it brings in its latest tyre – the Pilot Sport GT S9M.
Michelin's North Europe Motorsport Manager Tim Hoare commented: "We've spent 2017 developing this tyre specifically for Clio Cup competition worldwide in 2018.
"In fact this marks the biggest evolution in terms of tyre technology and performance in Clio Cup for around six years and, on average, we anticipate an improvement of two tenths of a second per lap."
He also explained: "The constant evolution in materials and construction has allowed us to use the latest generation of high-tech slick rubber compounds while maintaining the excellent levels of durability we saw in 2017 and without affecting the teams' set-ups on the cars. A like for like feel was part of the design brief to maintain the integrity of the existing data and set-up information.
"After the astonishing gains in speed made by the UK Clio Cup on our tyres in 2017 we're very excited about what might be in store in 2018 – not just for the drivers but also the huge numbers of fans who come through the gates to see the action and the many thousands of viewers watching the races live on ITV."
Notably the S9M will be the first tyre Michelin has produced outside of its 'Corporate Elite Range' (used in World Rally, World Endurance, MotoGP and Formula E) to incorporate a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip to allow traceability using a radio scanner instead of bar-codes.
The 2018 UK Clio Cup season starts at Brands Hatch (Indy) on the weekend of Sat 7/Sun 8 April. Prior to that is the championship's pre-season Media Day – at Silverstone on Thursday 15 March. Media wishing to attend should contact the championship's Media Officer Carl McKellar: Tel +44 (0)7786 138905 or Email email@example.com

text: The Central Bank, trying as it was to catch a falling knife, had very little choice but to ramp up interest rates on Tuesday.It's attempt to stop the Rouble's rapid descent, however, failed miserably. The currency has lost more than 50 percent of its value, which will lead to a crippling rise in the cost of imports. Western sanctions have made their point: President Vladimir Putin will not get away with his annexation of Crimea and his meddling in Ukraine.It is a heavy penalty for the Russian people. Many have taken out mortgages in dollars, meaning their repayments doubled in the last 10 months.Gas giant Gazprom slipped out a statement on Tuesday saying it would fire up to 25 percent of its workforce – Gazprom employs in excess of 500,000 people. But the West could also pay a heavy price.Russian corporations have taken on debt from Western institutions. It's estimated that these Russian companies need to repay $650bn, and as they are shut out of international markets they can't refinance their debt.It's often been mentioned that Putin could use defaulting on loans to punish the West. We'll see. Angela Merkel's Germany could be one of the nations hardest hit by the fallout from Russia's financial meltdown. German industry is the biggest trading partner with Russia, more than 350,000 jobs are tied to trade between the countries.Beyond that, more than 6,000 German companies have registered offices in Russia with a combined turnover of €40bn and employing 270,000 people.Russia has built up a pretty impressive currency reserve. Now it is deploying that reserve to protect its economy, which the central bank expects to sink by as much as 4.7 percent next year. It's spent well in excess of $80bn dollars defending its currency.The question is how much more it is will to spend of the $416bn dollars it has left. The next stop could be capital controls. That would stop the bloodletting. It's not only Russia that's taking a hit from sanctions. With oil prices collapsing to possibly 40 dollars a barrel, we may be filling up cheaply but we're all in for a bumpy ride.When sentiment sours, it hurts emerging markets as money pours into safer investments and locations. Turkey and Indonesia have seen their currencies hit multi-year lows. They're only recourse to scrap much needed infrastructure projects and social spending.No nation is an island, having seen the size of its economy sink from $1.2 trillion to $1 trillion in one day, Putin can no longer blame "currency speculators" for this crisis.

"A body, is somebody."
As a former volunteer with the Mortuary Casualty Assistance Team, Staff Sgt. Kristen Bell developed her own creed for giving honor to our fallen Soldiers.
Bell's path to honoring our nation's finest began after she joined the Army in 2003.
A self -proclaimed rebel, she decided joining the Army was the best fit for her.
"I can't remember what the inside of a classroom looked like and I was going nowhere fast. It's funny, the summer after my first year of college, my uncle told me I should join the military. I remember thinking, 'no way - I was enjoying my life,'" Bell said.
"I told him that if my fall semester didn't work out, I would think about it. Long story short, it didn't work out. I walked in and told the Army recruiter, 'you don't have to lie to me or sell me anything, I'm joining the Army!' and I haven't looked backed since."
After serving nine years on active duty, Bell joined the Army Reserve in October 2014 and reclassified as a civil affairs specialist.
She also began working on her Associates Degree in Arts and Humanities.
In 2017, Bell set another goal: joining the Army's parachute team, the Golden Knights.
After an attempted jump, Bell damaged her spinal cord, fractured her hip and developed a blood clot during surgery.
"I completed my medical board and was found fit for duty. I'm lucky, I know from the skydiving community that it's very minor compared to what could have happened," Bell said.
"It's also very minor compared to what my brothers and sisters in arms have faced. I wasn't going to let being hurt stop me,"
Bell healed at the Warrior Transition Battalion, Fort Bragg, North Carolina and began contemplating her future.
"I had an Associate's Degree in Arts and Humanities, but no life plan. I made a joke one day on Facebook saying "What am I going to do with my life, maybe I'll become a Mortician," Bell said. "I then felt a feeling of pride. It's a job and someone has to do it. I want to give life back to that person and give their families one last good memory."
After enrolling in the Career and Education Program, Bell began taking classes at Fayetteville Technical Community College and secured an internship with a local funeral home.
"[Fayetteville Technical Community College] was ranked fifth in the nation and it was right around the corner from my house. I knew I could use my GI Bill and get a part time job, this was a start. I had hope again and I never gave up. I kept pushing because that's what the Army taught me to do," Bell said.
During this time, more stars aligned as the North Carolina native received orders that would lead to her receiving a fulltime position as a Military Human Resource Specialist.
"I am what's called a Military Technician or MilTech; a General Service employee who is required to be an active drilling member of the Army Reserve or National Guard," Bell explained.
"Think about it, if I did not pass my medical board, I would have lost not only my military career, but my civilian one as well. I would have lost my livelihood."
Bell is scheduled to complete her studies this winter.
As she prepares to end this part of her journey, she acknowledges the motivation behind her determination and success.
"I want to be a better me tomorrow than I am today. I want to be a great role model for my daughter, Willa. I don't like to use the excuse that 'I'm a single mother' because I know that there are others out there who do it every day. There are others who have more than one child and less of a support system than I do. It does make some things hard, but it's not life ending," Bell said.
"The Army gave me focus, confidence and motivation. Willa has given me purpose and direction. I want her to see that she can dream and accomplish those dreams with hard work and determination."

costing without cad
There are times when you need to generate a cost estimate for a product or part, but there is no CAD model available. If you know the basic geometric design and manufacturing process/routing information, aPriori can cost those parts quickly and easily. Examples of when this approach may be useful include:
- NPI projects – At the earliest stages of the product lifecycle, when there are no CAD models, estimating the cost to manufacture is challenging. With User-Guided Costing, aPriori can generate detailed cost estimates during the R&D phase prior to committing to the detailed design phase of a project.
- Components not modeled in CAD
- Some product components, such as electrical components and wire harnesses, are not modeled in CAD. With User-Guided Costing, aPriori can help you generate a cost for these and other types of components that are not modeled in CAD.
- On competitive tear-down projects, each individual component is inspected, measured and evaluated. Someone working with aPriori User-Guided Costing could easily enter these specifications into the system and get an estimate of how much it cost to manufacture that part.
- Customers that send an RFQ may not include CAD models, and only provide a specification sheet or an engineering drawing. This would be another example of when aPriori User-Guided Costing could be used to quickly calculate a cost estimate to manufacture these components.
aPriori can provide a variety of User-Guided Cost Models that give you a starting point to address the use cases described above. Here are some examples of user-guided cost models:
- Progressive Die Manufacturing
- Stage Tooling
- Turret Press
- Injection Molded Plastic
Other User-Guided cost models can be developed with the assistance of aPriori's Professional Services team.
In summary, aPriori's User Guided Costing is an important compliment to the automated 3D costing capabilities that are available in the core product cost management platform. By combining both costing approaches, customers can develop complete costs for even the most complicated product assemblies that are comprised of carry over parts, new product designs modeled in 3D CAD and parts from suppliers that may have no CAD model at all.
For more information on User-Guided Costing, or to schedule your own private demonstration of this flexible cost module, send us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 978-371-2006.

Bolstered by strong gains in Internet shopping, demand for protective packaging in the US is forecast to expand 4.9% per year to US$6.8 billion in 2019, according to a new report of Freedonia.
As consumers purchase more products online, demand will increase for packaging which can protect these goods from shock, vibration, abrasion, and other damaging effects of shipping and handling, such as air pillows and protective mailers.
Environmental concerns will bring about a number of changes for protective packaging, primarily for goods delivered directly to consumers. For example, foam loose fill is being supplanted by air pillows and paper fill products in part due to concerns that foam is harmful to the environment, according to the report.
"The burgeoning Internet-based grocery and meal-kit delivery market will support gains for products made from environmentally sustainable insulating products, including jute and reusable vacuum insulated panels, as firms look to make their business as environmentally friendly as possible," noted Freedonia analyst Katie Wieser.
Likewise, the desire to reduce packaging weight and bulk has led to the introduction of packaging which is customized to the specific product.
Continued growth in manufacturing markets and acceleration in construction spending will also support increases for protective packaging, although gains will moderate from those during the 2009-2014 period, which was positively impacted by recovery from the recent recession, said Freedonia.
Additionally, offshoring of durable goods manufacturing continues to present a challenge to local packaging providers.
Flexible packaging products, including protective mailers, bubble packaging, air pillows, paper fill products, and dunnage bags, will continue to dominate due to their cost efficiency and their ability to package a wide variety of goods.
Foam protective packaging, including insulated shipping containers, molded foams, foam-in-place polyurethane, rolled foam, and loose fill, will comprise the second largest share of total demand, with established applications in manufacturing markets providing growth opportunities despite competition from rigid and flexible materials with more favorable environmental profiles, reported Freedonia.
Rigid protective packaging products account for the smallest portion of total demand. However, these products are expected to post healthy gains as molded pulp and paperboard protectors both benefit from a less variable pricing structure and trends toward sustainability.

The show had a juried section, a non-juried section and another section with various groupings. Plus they had rows and rows of vendors selling fabrics, quilting supplies, and machines.
I only had my cell phone with me so many of the photos I took didn't turn out. I will share some of the ones that did. Under each photo, I will share what was written on the information card for the quilt.
Juried Quilts
This was one of my favorites. The details were simply amazing! Look closely.
|"Breaking Wind" by Peggy Kragnes - Felton, Minnesota
This was a beautiful quilt with embellishments on it. The photo doesn't do it justice at all. I was surprised to see that it was made by a lady from Washington state. Since this was one of the first quilts I looked at, I expected the show to be only Minnesota quilters.
|"Jingle Bells" by Kathy McNeil - Tulalip, Washington
As soon as I saw this quilt, I was immediately reminded of home. This type of art is done by the many Native American peoples that live around Puget Sound. I was not surprised to see the quilt was made by a woman from Seattle.
|"Spirit" by Georgia Pierce - Seattle, Washington
I liked this quilt because it has a barn with a quilt block on it!
|"Inside a Farmer's Heart" by Terri Krysan - Lakeville, Minnesota
I was drawn to this quilt because of the colors and simplicity of design.
|"Tom's Carpenter Star" by Diana R. Wilson - Andover, Minnesota
This was an immediate "Wow" burst of color. After reading the card, I realized I had been to the quilt store mention and yes, the wall of batiks is impressive.
|"Citrus Inferno" by Michael Johnson - Duluth, Minnesota
Non-Judged Quilts
I liked how the quilter did this t-shirt quilt.
|"Center Stage" by Colleen Jensen-Carlon - Grand Forks, North Dakota
Quilted by Kathy Fellbaum. How can ten tees become a tribute to high school theater productions?
First it was the colors that got my attention, then it was the detailed quilting. This quilt should have been in the judged division. I loved it!
|"Dresdens Go Modern" by Marie Zaczkowski - Clear Lake, Minnesota
Close up shot of the quilting details on the back of the quilt.
I must be on a green kick or something because this beauty also caught my attention.
|"Fresh" by Liz Hickerson
I had so much fun at this show. I spent about six hours there admiring the talents of many quilters and then melting my credit card in the various vendor booths. It was worth the drive and I look forward to going to my next show.

I had such an awesome weekend with Big Matt and Big Red the biggest shopping cart I have ever seen. This shopping cart is almost 15 feet tall, has a 454 Chevy block engine in it and hydraulic steering! It was so fun watching and listening Matt rev it up. Big Red is LOUD!! Don't be fooled that it is a gigantic shopping cart. If you closed your eyes you would think you were listening to a NASCAR racecar! The video doesn't do it justice. Check out Matt and Big Red at the Warriors Parade tomorrow in Oakland!!
Big Red Will Be In The Warriors Parade Tomorrow!
Be on the look out for BIG RED the Lucky shopping cart being driven by Big Matt at the Warriors Championship Parade tomorrow in Oakland! I got to hang out with both Big Matt and BIG RED this weekend.

I decided to add both to my card & had a go at the bow tutorial Chrissie posted this week. Although I'm pleased with my first attempt at the bow I think I need more practice at getting the 'tails' to go in the right direction.
I was going to add a couple of small butterflies but decided less is more on this one!!
Thanks for looking & for any comments you leave.

All of that for a very honourable cause — fundraising for the Rehab charity. Last Tuesday I volunteered at the Parliamentary Pancake Race. It was flipping pan-tastic. And I do promise that those two puns are the only puns I'll make. Ever.

Post this next to your television
I don't know about the rest of you, but if I didn't watch TV I'd never know what day of the week it was. I watched House last night? Then today must be Wednesday. Of course, with so many shows it's sometimes hard to remember what's on at what time on which night. Thankfully one of my favorite entertainment sites, BuzzSugar, has a handy grid with the Fall 2007 TV schedule. It's available in PDF, so think about printing it and keeping it in your quick reference folder. You never know when a patron will ask you when Numb3rs will be on.

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew's announcement of new moves in housing policy last week surprised many housing stakeholders, especially those used to HUD's deliberate telegraphing of moves rather than Treasury's top-secret-until-announced approach. Upon reflection, each of the policy actions underscores major housing challenges of housing affordability and post-foreclosure neighborhood recovery that Treasury is addressing in a political environment frozen by a partisan divide.
- Extending Making Home Affordable, which includes HAMP and HARP, shows that Treasury realizes we are in the long tail of the foreclosure wave. There are many homeowners still struggling with underwater or unsustainable mortgages. The HAMP mortgage modification program and the HARP refinancing program have created an industry standard for finding individual solutions that by avoiding foreclosure are better for borrowers, lenders, and neighborhoods.
- Asking for comment on how to restart the private-label securities (PLS) market for home loans is a reminder that Treasury still wants to crowd in private capital to the mortgage market. We heard that way back in 2012 at the NHC Policy Symposium and once again at this year's Policy Symposium from Under Secretary Mary John Miller. If Treasury's planned meetings and the requested comments can shed more light on the persistent resistance of PLS investors, so much the better.
- Calling for bipartisan housing finance reform shows that Treasury knows our housing finance system is still broken. Too much rides on Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the FHA even now, and many potential homeowners can't obtain loans. As NHC has called for, we need a sustainable reformthat provides housing options for homeowners and renters alike, which can only come through bipartisan, outcome-focused housing finance reform.
- Providing capital for multifamily risk-share transactions through the Federal Financing Bank shows that Treasury knows we have a rental housing affordability crisis. Harvard's State of the Nation's Housing just made that point most strongly, and this new pilot action by Treasury could provide additional capital for affordable rental housing. It's a small but potentially significant step in the right direction, and we'll know more once the first transaction in New York City closes.
These actions come in a fraught political environment paralyzed by partisan battle. President Obama is explicitly acting in ways that do not require Congress, a course that can move more quickly, but is ultimately limited in reach. While we welcome positive change on housing's biggest challenges, we also know that only a concerted bipartisan legislative effort can truly get the job done.

Electromagnetic induction is the production of voltage or electromotive force due to a change in the magnetic field. Electromagnetic induction was discovered by Michael Faraday in the 1830s. Many electrical components and types of equipment work based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
Electromagnetic induction can be generated in two ways, namely when the electric conductor is kept in a moving magnetic field and when the electric conductor is constantly moving within a static magnetic field. The phenomenon of electromagnetic induction was first discovered by Michael Faraday when he moved a bar magnet through an electric coil. He noticed a change in voltage of the circuit. He later deduced the factors that could influence the electromagnetic induction as the number of coils, the strength of the magnet, the changing magnetic fields and the speed of relative motion between coil & magnet.
The number of turns in the coils/wire is directly proportional to induced voltage. In other words, greater voltage is generated when the number of turns is higher. The changing magnetic field also influences the voltage which is induced. The speed of the relative motion between the coil and magnet was also found to affect the induced voltage or electromagnetic induction as rise in velocity cuts the lines of flux at a faster rate. This results in more induced electromagnetic force or voltage.
The induced voltage in an electromagnetic induction is described by the following equation as:
e = N × dΦdt
e = voltage induced (measured in volts)
t = time (measured in seconds)
N = number of turns found in the coil
Φ = magnetic flux (measured in Webers)
Many types of electrical equipment such as motors, generators and transformers function based on the principle of the electromagnetic induction.

I've realized that, even twenty years into this brain injury, some of the things I first recognized as helpful still apply. None more so, maybe, than creating a good routine.
I always thought routine was boring. I thought it made a person kind of nerdy or some old curmudgeon stuck in their ways. We all know of or have heard tell of those who have to do things a certain way each time. They have to go to certain places on certain days and they have to eat this or that.
That might be bordering on an issue best left for another blog. LOL.
Routine, for those of us who are brain injured, often ends up a dear friend. A loyal, consistent ally.
A dependable good.
I have long relied on routine to reign in the more troublesome of my challenges. Here and there, the failure to filter, the distractibility, the getting stuck on one thing…
When routine is thoughtfully crafted, it provides us a great sense of peace and confidence. Even when our memories fail us, we can often feel sure that our routines kept the ship sailing in the right direction.
For many of us with TBI, summer creates a huge change in our routines. Those of us with kids have to deal with a change in morning schedules. Those of us taking vacation have to handle packing and travel plans and booking hotels and rental cars.
It can really throw us off our game.
I know that, for me, just the fact that the 4th of July holiday ended up on a Monday really sent me sideways. Monday felt like Sunday. Monday also felt like the 1st of the month so some bills didn't get paid. Tuesday was Monday. I took off Thursday so Friday was Monday, too.
My co-workers were amused to see me show up for work with my clothes on backwards…
Stressed out and frustrated partners and caregivers write to me all the time about how their TBI survivor does nothing all day. They often find them where they left them and nothing seems to have changed after nine hours of the day.
That doesn't surprise me.
Many of us have a hard time figuring out what the heck to do first or next. Some of us have a problem with initiating and some with a problem of having to pick from the thousands of options of what we could possibly do.
An established routine based on, mostly, when we are at our cognitive best each day helps everyone on both sides of the coin. Everyone can ease down and feel a little more relaxed when we all have an idea of what to expect next.
Routine doesn't have to be a prison sentence. It is not some anchor we should be forced to lug around. It is a tool and a good one. It's a way to help us be efficient and productive during the best parts of our days.
As summer passes the midway point and soon kids will take the turn toward heading back to school, many parents will begin to re-establish routines to ease their kids back into school mode. Maybe they'll start to get them out of bed earlier and into bed sooner. Maybe they'll begin to get them thinking again during the day and engaging their brains so they can start off the year on a good note.
Because we are a funny lot, we often stop our diets when we lose a few pounds or quit our antibiotics after a few days because we start feeling better. But it doesn't matter how long we have been injured, it never hurts to get back to the basics when we feel things spinning a little out of control.
We don't have to quit what works. It doesn't make us "still worse". And we don't have to feel badly about returning to our tried and true help when we find ourselves bumped somewhere off the beaten path.
Routine is a good thing. It's a nice tool in the box. It helps us to feel accomplished and peaceful that will always be the goal of any good day.
Happy Summer, everyone!!!!

StarHub: In the business of answering society's call for help
SINCE entering the industry as the third telecommunications company in Singapore, StarHub has aimed at differentiating itself by giving back to the community.
Said chief strategic partnership officer Jeannie Ong: "There are many in our community who need a helping hand, and there is also an urgent need to minimise harm to our environment."
StarHub first started giving back when it launched an IDD Empowerment Fund when it began business in 2000. The fund contributed one per cent of the company's IDD revenue towards helping the less privileged.
Renaming it the Sparks Fund in 2006, StarHub has helped society's less fortunate by donating 1,037 wheelchairs to 34 charity organisations as well as subsidising assistive technology and rehabilitation therapy for children from the Society for the Physically Disabled (SPD).
"When we meet and interact with our beneficiaries, we want to get to know them and their needs - not just give a cheque," said Ms Ong.
StarHub believes in empowering individuals and has carried out initiatives like the Nurture Programme that has helped children from the Central Community Development Council (CDC). The programme helps children from low-income families by providing them with enrichment classes that supplement their learning and encourage them to do well in school.
"The outcome has been positive as they have seen an improvement in grades," said Ms Ong. "We want to equip them with skills that will benefit them in life and empower them to do more."
In 2013, StarHub sponsored office skills training programmes at SPD's Infocomm Accessibility Centre (IAC). The programme, known as IAC Certificate in Office Skills (ICOS), aims to improve the employability of people with disabilities, giving them more opportunities to return to the workforce.
StarHub donated S$200,000 to SPD that will cover the course fees for 72 participants over two years.
Not only does StarHub help the community directly through these programmes, it also encourages its employees to get involved. StarHub employees get two days of volunteerism leave each year, enabling them to participate in company-organised events or propose their own events.
The Sparklers initiative lets employees propose their own voluntary efforts and the beneficiary they wish to raise money for. The company then matches the amount raised dollar-for-dollar up to S$10,000.
"When we do staff surveys, feedback has always been that they are grateful to be a part of StarHub because we are a company with a heart," said Ms Ong.
Customers are also given a chance to climb on board StarHub's philanthropy efforts. In 2014, the 4G4GOOD campaign was launched in which customers can pledge unused mobile data to beneficiaries.
"People like to do good, but sometimes they don't really know how. So 4G4GOOD was conceived as a way for StarHub customers to help the less fortunate," said Ms Ong.
StarHub also promotes environmental sustainability. Employees are encouraged to go green by placing recycling bins around the office. There is also an office garden where they can grow their own plants.
There are educational tours to Pulau Ubin and Chek Jawa to educate employees on the importance of being sustainable and green.
In 2012, StarHub launched Singapore's first electronic waste (e-waste) recycling programme, RENEW. Initially, five bins were placed around the island. But as demand for the bins increased, StarHub roped in new partners such as DHL, which transports the e-waste, and IT recycling firm Tes-Amm.
The programme has won StarHub the Green award at the Asia Communications Awards. This year, StarHub was also ranked 8th on Corporate Knights magazine's list of the Global 100 most sustainable companies - the highest placed in Singapore.
However, despite growing popularity of the RENEW programme, StarHub still faces challenges in finding companies and shops to allow them to place the bins in their space.
"Singapore, sadly, has yet to become a recycling nation," said Ms Ong.
Still, StarHub looks to do more and create new ways to give back, she added. "This is a Singaporean company. So we want to grow the business organically and focus on helping the community in Singapore."
- This is part of a series of stories on impactful corporate giving under the Company of Good programme led by the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre. The Business Times is supporting the initiative as media partner.

Cotton clothing is extraordinarily well-liked. Consider the effects of colors within the clothing you put on. Some folks may notice a boost of self-confidence if they're feeling good wearing a shiny color. When leggings became in style round 1982, they did so unobtrusively with timid gray, white and black leggings worn discreetly below skirts, attire and even voluminous thigh-length sweaters.
In addition to this, women additionally had to wear corsets, which at instances have been too tight that it generally prompted injury to the lady carrying it, and they also needed to put on petticoats, which have been very heavy and uncomfortable to "carry" round.
Look effortlessly stylish by combining our feminine blouses and shirts with tailor-made trousers and skirts, or simply throw on one in every of our flattering attire for a wonderful look in a flash. Common clothing companies in Dubai include the Golf Clothing Stores and the UAE National Girls's Clothing Shop.
As soon as you realize your individual physique sort, you will be armed with the necessary information to start selecting appropriate styles. Distinct features of the life-style, historic Japanese clothing and ladies is tough to decipher for the simple purpose that it's super-imposed by the Chinese language tradition.
I probably would have, if I might met one after I was 18. However, due to what happened with me, I believe a lot of those same girls who dismiss and reject cross dressers, may very nicely be taught to like them if that they had the same things happen to them.
The issue is, you don't just need her to place up with you and tolerate you sporting womens clothes. Decide up a pair of shorts to wear when the climate warms up. Match a pair of leggings with a stylish skirt to combine up your weekend wardrobe while still staying snug and true to your private model.
