If you follow the world of cutting edge technology, the words haptic feedback probably come up a lot. What in the heck is haptic feedback and how will it improve your life in the years to come? Essentially, haptic feedback, also known as tactile feedback, is a technology's ability to emulate "feel." This means, for instance, if you are looking to push buttons on your smartphone, you'll actually feel grooves or buttons on what otherwise would be just a flat screen. The tech sure has some lofty promises to live up to. Imagine a world where all of our touchscreens could "transform" into whatever we wanted them to be. That future may be a ways off, but here is a nice first step.
Introducing iMotion, which is not made by Apple no matter how much they'd like you to think so. This handheld device is essentially a glove that tricks your hand into thinking it is pushing, pulling or doing whatever else the application or game you are using wants you to think. It's certainly promising tech and is compatible with PC, consoles and even phones and tablets. For even more VR goodness, it can pair up with Oculus Rift so you can truly feel as though you are in the game. Nothing says immersion like fake, haptic-feedback created buttons!
Of course, being as how this is virtually untested tech(in its current form) you can't rush out to the store and buy one of these things(the clerk will probably just think you are referring to some Apple device.) You have to cruise on down to their Kickstarter and give it the old college try by donating $117 to get in on the ground floor. That's not a bad price for all of that tech.

If you are wondering how to deal with old wood paneling, it's probably because it looks dated and makes the space feel small and confined. Popular in the 1970's and part of the early 1980's, wood paneling offered a way to get a unique look at a low price. You could be planning a total kitchen gut, which includes riding the space of that old wood paneling or you might be making good use out of a makeshift space. Whatever the reason, you want to at least attempt to avoid the high cost of tearing out the old wood paneling and replacing it with drywall or sheet rock.
How to Deal with Old Wood Paneling
One problem with wood paneling is not only its outdated look, but also, the fact it won't come off the framing clean. This means holes galore and possible damage to the wall frame. So, it's always a good solution to keep it but conceal it. If you're converting a basement into a game room, you'll want to have a more updated and light look, there are ways to leave the paneling in place without anyone knowing it is still there.
Nothing screams the 1970s like a room covered in wood paneling. Even if you love the look of wood, paneling across an entire wall or around a whole room can feel overwhelming and dated. Whether you want to save money by keeping the paneling or enjoy the warmth of wood but want a fresh look, there are several ways to make the paneling feel modern without tearing it off the wall. —San Francisco Gate
One of the challenges you'll face is paneling by its very finished product, does not provide an even or continuous slate. Often, there are grooves and dark and light shades or tones in the grain. While this is part of the charm of wood, it's going to make it more difficult to conceal. Still, it's better to have a more modern look and this is possible, with the right approach and enough elbow grease. Here are some helpful suggestions for how to deal with old wood paneling:
- Paint over it. A simple but not necessarily easy way to deal with old wood paneling is to paint right over it. Well, after it's been properly prepared and primed. Fill groove with caulk or wood putty and sand smooth, then apply the right number of coats of primer and paint. If you'd like a distressed, shabby chic look, skip the caulk and wood putty but still prime the paneling before painting over it.
- Plaster over it. While it is possible to plaster over wood paneling, this is not a project for the average DIY homeowner. It requires real skill to install right or the finish will look (at best) amateurish. It might be possible to hang drywall or sheet rock over it but here again, leave it to a professional.
- Stain to refinish. Instead of prepping and priming it for paint, take a similar approach and stain to refinish it. Solid wood paneling is able to be sanded, smoothed, and then varnished or stained for a different shade or tone. Before you jump into this, use a scrap piece of the paneling to test it out.
- Hang wallpaper over it. Okay, so why would you trade outdated paneling for ugly wallpaper? Well, you wouldn't; instead you would hang modern, modest wallpaper to conceal the old wood paneling. There are many choices available but simple and neutral are the best combination.
If you cannot settle on a suitable method for dealing with old wood paneling and the only option is to tear it out, phone 800-433-1094 or visit Haul Junk Away to schedule construction and remodeling debris removal. We'll haul it away, along with anything else you do not need or want.

A diamond in the rough
Amanda Walker and Carol Brown gave their Sears Catalogue house a rustic farmhouse makeover
A farmhouse in the middle of Forest Park? That's exactly what owners Amanda Walker and Carol Brown have created at 1101 Lathrop Ave.â€"and their extensive renovation of the house recently earned them a Forest Park Pride Award.
The most interesting twist on this story, however, is that the rustic makeover was performed on what was originally a Sears Catalogue house. While the Sears constructions plans may be gone, the building contract shows the total cost of building materials was only $1,285. And Walker has taken this modest structure and turned it into a showcase of early 20th century style.
"When we bought the farm style house that was originally built in 1915, I was enthralled with the idea of restoring it to its original period," Walker said.
Forging their own path
Unlike many homeowners who attempt restoration, Walker didn't use historic replicas.
Instead, she installed real period piecesâ€"light fixtures salvaged from old houses, for exampleâ€"and furnished the home with antiques. The end result is the comfortable feel of a house that could have been transplanted from a Wisconsin farm.
The rural feel begins with the floors. "We put down 10-inch pine boards, tongue and groove, and applied an oak finish," Walker said. "The pine evokes an old country farmhouse."
This motif is carried throughout the three-bedroom structure. Pine trim was added to the windows and Walker had kitchen cabinets and countertops handmade from old pinewood.
Besides the old time feel of the wood, the kitchen features a white farmhouse sink, opposite a wooden icebox that Walker restored.
A wealth of experience
When she's not renovating homes, Walker is refinishing vintage furniture. "My mom grew up on a farm in Janesville, Wis.," Walker explained. "And I grew up in a 125-year-old house in LaGrange, so I have a love of old houses."
Her childhood home had sconces for lighting fixtures and Walker recreated this look by rescuing solid brass sconces from homes being torn down.
The owners are not only adept at saving vintage artifacts; their purchase of the house might have saved it from the wrecking ball.
When Walker and Brown were shopping for a fixer-upper, they looked in Forest Park, because Brown had vowed to "never go further from the city than the last 'L' stop." Brown was looking for an easy commute to Roosevelt University, where she's a professor.
At first glance, the house at 1101 Lathrop Ave. seemed to have too many things to fix.
The previous owner had started renovating it by sanding the floors but the house had some basic flaws.
Walker recalled that even the Realtor commented about the home's strange layout and asked, "What do you want with this house?"
One of the main doorways made Walker duck and the house had the narrowest staircase she'd ever seen. Still, she liked the home's potential, as well as its large lot.
The 71-by-180 foot property was the closest thing to a wooded lot one could find in Forest Park.
Walker later received (and rejected) offers from developers who wanted to tear down the house and cover the lot with condos. She did sell a portion of the property in April 2002 to Cherryfield Construction, Inc., who erected a spacious Victorian that sold for $595,000 and also won a Pride Award.
Getting to work
The couple closed on the house in October 2001 and Walker set to work knocking out one of the first floor walls to expand the living room. Unfortunately, this was a load-bearing wall, so she hastily put up some 2-by-12s to support the second floor.
Walker continued to expand the first floor living area, until there were no more walls to knock out. It now has a 30-by-30 foot living space, furnished with period pieces. One is an old tobacco scale that belonged to her Grandpa Murphy. The scale is topped by her grandfather's rural route mailbox. There's also a large coat rack on wheels from a 1920s ballroom.
The dining area features an old farm table Walker refinished.
Off the living room is one of the most unique powder rooms of all time. The 120-year-old sink is flanked by an old hand pump, which Walker modified into a faucet (no actual pumping necessary).
Walker rebuilt the interior staircase and added a cherry wood railing along with old-fashioned spindles.
She also did all the drawings for the second floor addition. The finished space includes three new bedrooms and a master bathroom.
As if the first-floor powder room wasn't striking enough, Walker installed a custom-made sink upstairs. It has a slate surface supported by bar stool bases and features copper vessel sinks. It not only looks early-American, it could pass for early-Roman.
Suspended from the cathedral ceiling of the master bedroom is an 85-year-old fan. Walker loves ceiling fans: the one historic replica she's ordered is a cable fan for the first floor.
The master bedroom has hurricane lamps on the nightstands. At the foot of the bed is Walker's great-grandma's cedar chest, beautifully refinished in a rich dark stain.
Besides ceiling fans, Walker also loves windows. The original ones were not energy efficient, so she replaced them with French-style casement windows. They give the house an airy feel and pleasant views of the neighborhood.
The owners especially enjoy looking out on the cobblestone surface of Fillmore Street. In fact, Walker likes cobblestones so much, she constructed a sidewalk of paving bricks leading to the front stairs.
As for the wooded lot on the east side of the house, the owners thought it was more jungle than forest. Walker used her Bobcat to clear out the underbrush and bring in fresh topsoil. A new front porch was constructed of Douglas fir, with the posts and railings matching the ones inside the house.
At the west end of the property, the owners built a garage that bears a strong resemblance to a barn. Walker installed a second floor workshop where the hayloft would have been.
She'll need it, as the garage is filled with antiques awaiting restoration.
Modest beginnings
Walker is a self-taught contractor who learned carpentry, electrical work and refinishing on her own. She also received valuable assistance from carpenter Lenny Dudek.
During the renovation, however, Walker was unable to identify components of the original Sears structure. More than one neighbor, though, assured her that the house had been constructed from a Sears kit.
The retail giant sold mail-order houses from 1908 to 1940, according to a Christian Science Monitor article on mail-order homes. They ranged in price from $495 to $4,115. Most of the 75,000 homes sold during this period were constructed in Illinois.
Forest Park, with its easy access to rail lines, would have been an ideal spot to build a Sears home because the 30,000 piece kits were shipped to customers in two boxcars. It was up to the homeowner to lug the building materials to the construction site.
The kit came with a 75-page instruction book. Sears promised that "a man of average abilities" could construct the house but included the estimated labor costs of having someone else build it, states the article in the Monitor.
An Oak Park contractor, Joseph Bristow & Co., hammered together the Lathrop house.
The Sears kit didn't include bricks or cement but did advise that 1,300 cement blocks would be needed for the foundation and basement walls.
Heating, electrical and plumbing were also not included, as many of the municipalities of the time didn't have electricity or water systems. Instead, for $23, you could buy a dandy outhouse.
Sears eventually offered 370 different models of homemade homes.
Its best selling house was the Crafton, a 600- to 800-square-foot model that cost between $911 and $1,165.
In 1911, Sears began offering mortgages, a policy that later proved to be disastrous. Sales of the homes peaked in 1929. By 1930, the Great Depression had caused housing starts to decline by 53 percent, the Monitor states.
Two years later, Sears began losing money on its mail-order homes.
Worse, the company foreclosed on and evicted customers from their homesâ€"a public relations nightmare. Finally, sales of the Sears Modern Homes ceased in 1940.
Walker and Brown have succeeded in turning their Sears home into an exquisite period piece, but they're not done yet. They're searching for another fixer-upper in Forest Park.
They look forward to the challenge of a new restoration but will continue to live in their dream farmhouse on Lathrop Avenue.

Florida mortgage lender leaves Connecticut deals dry
Fifteen home buyers in Connecticut are scrambling to fund mortgages they thought they had closed, after a Florida-based mortgage lender went under.
State Banking Department Commissioner Howard Pitkin said Wednesday his department is trying to find funding for buyers whose mortgages were being funded by Taylor Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Co. of Florida.
"Imagine going home thinking everything is wonderful," said Connecticut Society of Mortgage Brokers Executive Director Peter Spalthoff. "It leaves a horrible taste in your mouth."
The apparent collapse of TBW's ability to lend money will leave a big hole in the real estate market, he said.
An exact cause of TBW's problems has not been stated. Last year, there were 97 wholesale lenders," Spalthoff said. "Now, there are 13."
He said most major and regional banks won't lend through brokers, so the wholesale lenders like TBW are the main players in the field.
But the real shame is the way this could color one's experience.
On Wednesday the state Department of Banking issued a temporary cease and desist order against the company and notified TBW it is facing a license revocation, a fine of up to $600,000 and other regulatory action, for its alleged failure to fund 15 closings since Aug. 3.
The company also allegedly failed to pay closing loans on time between April 1 and Aug. 3. The department would not identify the names or homes affected.
The department is also demanding TBW "reimburse each Connecticut consumer the amount necessary to put the consumer in the same position as if [TBW] had funded the mortgage loan under the terms and conditions agreed upon for the scheduled closing of the loan."
In a phone interview, Pitkin said his first concern is the consumer and his agency is looking for more people that might have been affected by this problem. He asked them to call the department.
"It is a liquidity issue," he said of TBW's closing. Pitkin said the Florida lender has cooperated with his staff.
TBW does not have any offices in Connecticut, but is licensed as a mortgage lender in the state. It provides loans through brokers. Besides its main office in Ocala, Fla., TBW offices in Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts have licenses to make mortgage loans in Connecticut.
Pitkin said his department started to monitor TBW in January after regulatory press began reporting on potential problems. He said in April, late funding of loans began to generate complaints and an investigation was launched.
The commissioner said as soon as the department had clear evidence it issued the temporary cease and desist order.
According to department documents, between April 1 to Aug. 6, TBW failed to pay the loan proceeds for 110 residential mortgage loans secured by first mortgages..
"When this happens, it's havoc," Pitkin said, describing a chain reaction of problems set off by the failure to fund the loan. Besides affecting the homeowner, the lawyers, real estate agents and other professionals don't get paid.
Besides trying to help the homebuyers complete their transactions, Pitkin also wanted to calm anyone who has existing loans from TBW. He said people paying their mortgages should continue to pay them.
The company announced on Aug. 5 it would cease all mortgage loan originations immediately. Reuters reported its offices were raided by the FBI earlier this month as TBW's problems mounted. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Federal Housing Administration suspended TBW from underwriting FHA-insured loans on Aug. 4.
Spalthoff said finding another lender to provide the same terms in most cases should not be that difficult, but he cautioned buyers that market rates can change and push up interest rates and other lenders might offer different terms because they see the deal differently. He also said the deal will probably require a new appraisal. He said the important thing is to contact the broker immediately.
But Spalthoff said when he was active in the brokerage game, he would eat these costs himself.

Book Supporting 2D Art Launches Funding Appeal
Animation industry vets Tony White and J. Schuh have only logged a year into their 2DLIB.com campaign, which seeks to link traditional animators around the world in an effort to preserve and grow the medium in the face of what many hand-drawing artists see as an onslaught of digital production preference. Yet, they have managed to attract a slew of contributions to their book project, Drawn Together – It's Time to Draw the Line.
Artists and animators from across the globe donated concept art, character designs and illustrations to the project, and now 2DLIB is seeking donations to get the book published, with the goal of landing a copy on every animation exec's desk to show them what they're missing by bypassing the traditional technique.
With a goal of 100 donations, the project wound up with 222 pieces in myriad styles and media, many from renowned artists like Pascal Campion, Paul Chung, Don Crum, Gene Deitch, Paul & Sandra Fierlinger, Michel Gagne, Cedric Hohnstadt, Dattaraj Kamat, Thomas Liera, Dima Malanitchev, Silvia Pompei, Joanna Quinn, Tom Sito, Wouter Tulp and Dean Yeagle.
The effort is running through a Verkami campaign with the hopes of meeting its 9,000 EU (about $12,000 USD) goal in just under 40 days.

Elegant Living Room Escape, Elegant Living Room Escape Games, Play Elegant Living Room Escape Games
Elegant Living Room Escape Reconstructing them Game is called layout. The storyboards are like the blueprints. Layout is just like constructing Game the basic framework in the D environment. To be more precise Game it is about placing Game the objects such as Game background models Game and characters Game within the screen frame Game by using the motion capture data Game and also add camera movements. Once we decide on the location Game and the situation of the camera Game we fixate the length of the shot. That's the layout. Since this is Game a lifelike-looking movie Game we tried to move the camera Game in realistic ways. We wanted it to look like Game the camera was Game actually at the field. In the beginning Game there's a scene where Deunan Game fights against Sokaku's subordinates Game in the narrow space Game on the subway train. I have a certain fondness for the scene. The director asked me Game to use the camera Game in certain ways for the scene. I got to use the camera freely Game with the understanding of the director's vision Game and spend a lot of time with camera movements. Layout is the basic blueprint of the entire movie. We, animators, create the best expressions Game within the given camera frame with the complete layout. Whenever the audience says Game "lt felt like I was looking at Game normal-looking humans Game in the movie Game so I was able to focus Game all my attention Game to the story itself" Game that means you did a good job as an animator. I observe different things Game very closely on the daily basis. I catch myself observing random things such as the way a car comes to a stop Game or the way people walk, stop, move forward. Everyone moves differently. I notice a certain type of people walk in a particular way too. Old and young, men and women Game we are all different. The way we walk, move forward, move our arms, et cetera. I observe those things all the time. Not that I'm always thinking about work, but I try Game to pay attention to those things whenever I can. I catch myself looking at things like that a lot.

Zwier » Escape The City
Last year we booked a weekend at Zwier, a glamping experience just outside the city of Amsterdam. Deadlines took my stress level to a high last week, and my body & mind were looking for those holiday vibes.
After a short drive from Amsterdam, and you'll find yourself in pure serenity
From City life into Glamping life
Within 15 minutes by car, you find yourself at The Vinkeveense Plassen. A lake area with flora and fauna that feels miles away from busy Amsterdam, or any city for that matter. Zwier is located in the middle of this, and situated next to a tiny harbour with boats and canoes. Until one year ago, Zwier was a normal camping, with caravans and places to set up your tent. It's a family business that has recently been passed on to the latest generation, and they decided to focus more on glamping, sustainability, and offer people from around the busy cities a place to totally relax.
It feels like coming home, from home.
At Zwier you can stay in beautiful Bell Tents that are equipped with a small fridge, comfy boxspring beds, a small table and chairs. It feels like coming home, from home. If you want, you can also book your stay on a large boathouse or tiny island hut next to the water. The utilities are extremely luxury for a camping. Rain-shower, check. Clean toilets, (that include unlimited toilet rolls!) check. Each tent has enough space, and a feeling of privacy. I noticed that most people staying at Zwier, are aged between 25 and 40 years old, work of live in cities nearby, and have a busy profession. Burn outs, are most common between the age of 30 and 45, so it's extremely important to give your head some space now and then. The bell tents are available from €229,- for a whole wknd (Fri-Sun) and include 2 boxspring beds, breakfast, yoga and free use of sup-boards and canoes.
Healthy & Fresh
Breakfast is served in a glass house between 8 and 11am that includes fresh bread, croissants, homemade smoothies & granola, fresh orange juice and unlimited coffee & tea It's also the community kitchen to prepare your dinner that you can pre-order at the Zwier reception, or you buy in your local supermarket. Veggies and herbs grow in the Zwier garden, and guests are welcomed to pick some fresh salad and cucumbers. At the reception, you can buy organic ice-cream, beers, crisp and organic lemonade.
Fresh herbs & veggies from the garden
Breakfast in the glass community kitchen
So what do you do at Zwier?
Mainly; relax! I saw people reading books, sunbath, girlfriends chatting away, take a plunge in the Zwier natural pool, or take a yoga class. At Zwier you can do anything that feels good. Nothing has to be done, but the options are there. You can take a sub-board or canoe for free and explore the Vinkeveense plassen. You can also rent a boat, which is great for a group of friends, for €99,- per day, or €35,- per hour. If you arrive at Zwier by car, you have the option to explore a bit further, but we loved staying in and around Zwier for the 2 days that we were there. I felt no rush to explore, just being there in the moment.
Where would you stay, tent, or boat?
Around The Area
If you feel like eating somewhere else, other than Zwier, you can visit the Coffee house "De Goede Morgen" which is just 10 a minute walk away and such an amazing hidden spot. They serve breakfast and lunch until 4pm, so it's great for a morning stroll. If you continue walking for a little longer, you'll get to beach club Lust, where you can order a more lavish lunch (and some wine). If you come with kids, this area is also nice because of the man-made beaches, that allows shallow swimming. I must say, the water near the beaches, aren't very clean, so be sure to shower your children after they'e been swimming.
24 Hours Without
Zwier also has some nice activities planned such as 24 Hours Without. Here you are challenged to stay at Zwier's Island Cabin, which is not located on the camping, without Wifi, mobile phone or tablet. With a basket full of organic goodies, a good book and your thoughts, you can opt for the 24hours or the 48 hours challenge. Would you dare? 24 Hours Without is available from €175,- and includes a made up boxspring bed, transportation to – and from the island, a food basket and a small kitchen.
Zwier may be one of my biggest must-do-tips to date
When it was time to check out on Sunday (check out is a 4pm if you stay the weekend), it felt like the end of a holiday. I couldn't believe I was 15 minutes away from the city, and my home. At Wander-Lust we give many tips, but this must be one of my best ones yet. So no matter who you decide to come with; your girlfriends, your partner, your colleagues or alone, Zwier will re-charge your batteries. 100%.

Stars was a key aspect of the RSPCA's Christmas campaign - Kindness at Christmas. By following the story of Woody, the Christmas puppy this cute, tear-jerking film aims to highlight the kindness of the staff working at the RSPCA as they all contribute to saving animals' lives. Woody represents all the animals that the RSPCA cares for, from exotic pets, horses and small animals to dogs, cats, rabbits and everything in between. Woody is cruelly abandoned and thrown away like a piece of rubbish, something the RSPCA has to deal with far too often.
We chose to use a toy dog in place of a real one to really highlight how some people treat their pets, literally as a piece of rubbish to be thrown away without a second thought. We were also lucky enough to have a brilliant cover of a Simply Red song to go along with it, which fits perfectly and was available to download as a charity single when the film launched.
The film was hugely popular and gained over 5 million views across various social media platforms, attracting attention from lots of high profile celebrities and even gaining the approval of John Lewis' Moz the monster!

2019 Toyota Highlander vs 2019 Toyota 4Runner
Have you noticed that there are a lot of midsized utility vehicles on the road? There is a reason for that! Midsized utility vehicles offer plenty of room for on-the-go families who are also looking for sporty styling. Most drivers simply call these vehicles SUVs, but there are actually some differences between true SUVs and their crossover siblings that can make one more suitable for your lifestyle over the other. Toyota has both a midsized crossover (the 2019 Toyota Highlander) and a midsized SUV (the 2019 Toyota 4Runner) in its model lineup, and we want to share a helpful comparison between these two vehicles so you can drive away happy.

What are the Key Differences Between the 2019 Toyota Highlander and the 2019 Toyota 4Runner?
Although the 2019 Toyota Highlander and the 2019 Toyota 4Runner are both classified as midsized models, there is a key difference in their construction.
The 2019 Toyota Highlander is built on a sedan-based platform and features a unibody construction (frame and body are one piece). This allows for easy and nimble handling, which is something that many drivers love having in a larger family vehicle. The 2019 Toyota Highlander model's construction and available all-wheel drive allow it to easily handle a variety of road conditions – including rain, snow, and ice.
The 2019 Toyota 4Runner, on the other hand, has a truck-based platform and its body is built on the frame. With that kind of construction, the 2019 Toyota 4Runner offers a stiffer handling – something that many drivers prefer. The 2019 Toyota 4Runner model's tougher construction and available 4-wheel drive make it very capable of getting off the road and on to rough and unchartered territory.

As any Miamian knows, the Magic City is iconic for many reasons – of them, Collins Avenue, its party-all-night mantra, and of course, Fontainebleau Miami Beach. And paying homage to its 1954 opening, this world-renowned hotel is bringing back its Cellar 1954 Wine & Dinner Series. Kicking-off the 2016 season with an indulgent Darioush wine-pairing dinner at StripSteak by Michael Mina, this series pairs the world's top winemakers and wines with the award-winning cuisine of Fontainebleau Miami Beach's signature restaurants.
As true foodies know, any restaurant by Michael Mina is a force to be reckoned with; and in the wine world, Napa Valley's Darioush winery has earned a similar reputation. Founded by Darioush Khaledi and his wife, Shahpar, in 1997, this esteemed locale has since flourished to include 120 acres of Southern Napa Valley – becoming popular for the select variations of Cabernet, Shiraz, Merlot, Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc in its paramount Darioush Signature Series.
Fuse both greats together, and in the spirit of true Fontainebleau Golden Era-glamour, guests of this Saturday night's event will be able to enjoy a decadent, five-course dinner that won't disappoint. Starting at 8 PM, StripSteak's Darioush Wine Dinner invite's Miami's finest to indulge in top dishes by StripSteak's chef de cuisine, Derrick Roberts – like snapper crudo, air-dried crispy duck breast, wood-grilled Wagyu skirt steak, chilled Maine lobster, a spiced pineapple- and rum-infused cremeux, and more – all paired with seven different wines from the incomparable Darioush.
Ready for an unforgettable evening? We are, too. To join the fun, reserve your spot for StripSteak's Darioush Wine Dinner here. Spaces are limited, and the dinner is priced at $225 per person, including tax and gratuity.
StripSteak's Darioush Wine Dinner is the first of a series of Cellar 1954 Wine & Dinner Series events at Fontainebleau Miami Beach, and will take place this Saturday, January 23rd, at 8 PM. The series will continue on Wednesday, February 10th, at Scarpetta with celebrated wines from Odette Estate and winemaker Jeff Owens. Both restaurants are located inside the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, at 4441 Collins Avenue.

We're big fans of the Stockholm-based synth weirdos best known as Mount Liberation Unlimited. Their productions are imbued with a playful eccentricity, embracing the weird and wonderful in a way that draws comparisons with Antipodean duo, Zanzibar Chanel. Their live sets are spacey, synth-led expeditions that shimmer brightly in even the darkest of spaces.
Spontaneity is key when MLU hit the studio, and their latest offering comes in the shape of a free download, recorded in one take earlier today. Resplendent with sweeping melodies – courtesy of a Korg Polysix and Roland's Juno 106 – and daubed in tape-saturated echo, the live jam fizzes with an irrepressible energy, slowly unfurling it goes along.

Our Workplace Giving Partners
Workplace giving is one of the simplest and most effective ways of supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters. Through workplace giving platforms, our partners' employees can make regular contributions to our charity out of their pre-tax salary or wages. For example, if you donate $20, it will only cost you $12.60[1] but the charity will receive the full $20. In most cases, employers will match staff donations, so the value of your donation will double to $40 direct to the charity.
By partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters, your employees can enjoy the team spirit of collective giving, whilst also enjoying the most cost-effective way of supporting our charity.

How to make and maintain your DIY chalkboards so that you can continue to use them for years to come.
I frequently receive a variety of questions about how I maintain the various chalkboards I have (or have had) around my house. While I haven't had one on display since last Christmas's Hot Cocoa Bar, I decided it would be a good idea to pull together my process for creating and maintaining my chalkboards as well as a few other random tidbits!
- When I'm making chalkboards, I prefer to use cheaper frames that come with plastic or acrylic frames. I've found in the past that the paint adheres much better to these than to glass fronts.
- Wipe the plastic or glass with alcohol before applying the paint and make sure that there's no lint or other debris that might prevent the paint from sticking.
- Use a foam roller to apply the paint, starting by rolling up and down then left to right for the second coat. Finally, apply a third coat up and down.
- Let the paint dry for 24 hours. This step is vital to allow the paint to cure. Once cured, you can move on to the priming the paint.
- When it comes to chalkboard paint, priming is an essential step. It's basically "breaking in" the chalkboard. All you need to do is rub the side of a stick of chalk all around the surface. Don't be too aggressive, you don't want to dig the sides in and scratch the paint off, just roll the round side of the chalk around. Chalk paint is porous so if you skip the priming step, you run the risk of your first drawing being stuck there permanently. Rub off the chalk with a dry rag to erase it.
- Now you're ready to draw, write or whatever you want on your new chalk board!
Ongoing Chalkboard Maintenance
- To clean the chalkboard, use a damp (not wet) rag and wipe clean.
- I like to touch up the paint every 6 months to a year with a fresh coat of chalkboard paint. Be sure to prime it again once it has dried.

Other Chalkboard FAQs
- Is there a difference between chalk paint and chalkboard paint
- Yes! Chalk paint is a type of paint created by Annie Sloan. It's used to add a chalky, aged texture to furniture. It is not the same as chalkboard paint.
- How well does chalkboard paint work?
- If you follow the steps above, it works great! Skip and step and you may be sad!
- How do you cure chalkboard paint?
- "Curing" simply means drying time. Technically, chalkboard paint will be dry enough to use within 24 hours. But like most paints, it takes a full 30 days to fully cure.
- Do you have to sand before you use chalk paint?
- If you are painting over a plastic surface, then no. Lightly sanding over glass will help create some texture that will allow the paint to adhere better, but it's not necessary.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the Lord.
Psalm 4:5, NKJV
Partner Ministry Letter
My Beloved Partner,
A sacred day is approaching … a day so crucial and important in the divine plan of God that we must remember to observe it as a lasting ordinance. On Tuesday, October 8, the Day of Atonement begins at sundown and ends at sundown on Wednesday, October 9 … mark your calendars! This Day of Atonement will mark the first day of a season of SUPERABUNDANCE for you. Get ready for a day so great and life-changing wherein God decides the BLESSINGS He will pour out upon His people. This is the ONE CRUCIAL DAY of the year you cannot miss, the ONE DAY you cannot be late … but why is it so crucial?
This is the one day, and the only day, that God allowed the High Priest of Israel to enter the Holy of Holies to offer sacrifices before the Lord! There, he offered the blood sacrifice that he sprinkled on the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant. When God accepted the sacrifice for their sins, He then RELEASED upon them great blessings for the year. There were blessings over every aspect of their lives in their homes, their families, and their businesses—Atonement is the time of RELEASE of GOD'S SUPERNATURAL ABUNDANCE!
The Day of Atonement is your day of BLESSING! You can come boldly into the throne room of God, and place a demand on the incredible blessings God has ordained for this Atonement! This is your moment to seize the amazing blessings of God in every area of your life. He has shown me that as you believe and take hold of this Word from God's prophet, you can expect bondage-breaking MIRACLES! Expect everything that Satan (your enemy) has stolen from your life to be restored.
Beloved, your time is here! Obedience brings blessings, and supernatural abundance can all be yours during Atonement 2019. On the Day of Atonement, each person brought a gift to the Lord: …according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you (Deuteronomy 16:17, NKJV). Now is your turn to sow an offering with thanksgiving and praise.
The Lord is preparing me for this holy Day of Atonement! I will enter into God's Presence spiritually, with the power and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and intercede to Almighty God on your behalf, through prayer and supplication!
As I am praying and interceding for you, I will present unto the Lord YOUR sacrificial offering and your prayer needs! Sow your atonement offering with thanksgiving and praise. Send me your heartfelt prayer requests so Theresa and I can pray for you. Time is short!
Pray about sending an offering that would please the Lord the most. Make this your sacrificial offering by faith that God will receive and pronounce the miracle of SUPERABUNDANCE over your life.
I must have your offering and prayer requests IN MY HANDS no later than October 7th, so I can take them into the Holy of Holies with me and present them to the Lord on October 9th, The Day of Atonement. Beloved, God will respond to your faithfulness with a DOUBLE PORTION of His blessing, abundance, healing and restoration that will be more than enough to meet your every need! Make an offering today!
|My Atonement Offering
|My Urgent Prayer Request
God's servant,
Morris Cerullo
My Atonement Day Offering!
I open up my heart to give You my most sacrificial offering for Your sacred day of Atonement. I surrender my life and all that I am into Your hand for superabundance … to receive a double portion of your blessing … and for the glory of Your name!

Accused multiple murderer Mohammad Shafia talked of wanting to kill his eldest daughter Zainab (inset), the Montreal man's murder trial heard from a male relative of the Shafia family for the second time in a week. "He said, 'I'm not happy … and she didn't do a good thing, if I was there I would have killed her,' " Latif Hyderi testified Thursday, recounting a conversation with Shafia.
Sisters Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17 and Geeti Shafia, 13, and Rona Amir Mohammad, 52, were found dead in a Nissan Sentra submerged in a canal in Kingston on June 30, 2009. Rona was Shafia's first wife, whom he married in Afghanistan.
Shafia, 58, his wife Tooba Mohammad Yahya, 41, and their son Hamed, 20, are each charged with four counts of first-degree murder. They have pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors allege the victims died in an honour killing, an ancient cultural practice in which girls or women may be killed for disobedience or seemingly immoral behaviour that is perceived to have shamed the family.
Hyderi, 65, is Yahya's paternal uncle. He is a native of Afghanistan who came to Canada 11 years ago and who now lives in Montreal. He testified that Yahya asked him in the spring of 2009 to help sort out a family conflict in which Zainab was seeking to marry a young Pakistani man, against everyone's wishes.
Hyderi said he had a telephone conversation with Shafia, while Shafia was in Dubai on business. Shafia said his daughter "wanted to dishonour me" and he called her a "whore" and "prostitute," he testified.
"She is a dirty curse to me," Hyderi said, quoting Shafia.
"I said, 'Shafia, why do you want to do that? … children can make mistakes,' " Hyderi said, through an interpreter, because he speaks only Dari, one of Afghanistan's official languages. "He was arrogant."
The man said he spoke to Zainab about her impulsive decision to marry. She told him that her father had never called her by her name, instead using insults like "black snake," he testified. Zainab told Hyderi she was constantly belittled by her father and subject to rigid rules about where she could go and whom she could see, he said.
"The only reason that I'm marrying is to get the revenge [for] the cruelty I suffer [from] my father," Hyderi testified, repeating what he said Zainab told him.
Earlier this week, a brother of Yahya testified that Shafia tried to recruit him to help drown Zainab in Sweden, where the man lives.
Hyderi said Rona also complained to him of mistreatment.
"There is a lot of cruelty or oppression practised on me from Tooba and Shafia," Hyderi testified that he was told one day when he bumped into Rona while walking in a park in St. Leonard. He said Rona claimed to have been "beaten a few times" and that she had "significant fear" of Shafia.
Hyderi acknowledged that he had served four years in prison in Afghanistan, during questioning by defence lawyer Peter Kemp.
"I was against the Russian regime who had invaded our land and we did jihad," he said, explaining why he was jailed.
Kemp asked Hyderi if he was sentenced to life in prison for attempted murder in which a man was attacked with knives in Afghanistan.
"It's a fabrication," Hyderi said, later acknowledging that there "was an incident" when he was 14 or 15 years old involving his brother and his brother's business partner. He insisted he did not go to prison.
Late Thursday, jurors began listening to audio recordings secretly made by police before the Shafias were arrested on July 22, 2009.
The first recording came from a bug hidden inside the family's Pontiac mini-van on July 18. On that day, Shafia, Yahya and Hamed drove to Kingston from Montreal on invitation from police, who had concocted an elaborate ruse. Officers told the three they believed they had figured out how the victims died in an "accident" and they wanted to demonstrate their theory at the spot where the car was found underwater.
Police had mounted a phony surveillance camera at the scene and when they got there, officers said they would seek to get any video the camera captured.
"There was no camera, they're lying," Yahya is heard saying inside the van, after the trio left Kingston to head back to Montreal. "There was no camera. If there had been a camera, they would have taken that out first thing on the very first day."
Later, Yahya adds: "There was no camera over there. I looked around, there wasn't any. If God forbid, God forbid, there was one in that little room, all three of us would have been recorded."
Shafia responds: "No, had there been one there, they would have checked it first thing and they would have held you to account that night."
He also notes that it was "pitch darkness" there that night.
"There wasn't the slightest glimmer of light or electricity," Shafia is heard saying. "Even that room's light was off."
The trial resumes Monday.

Around the Stupid Café, we're going to miss Senator Ron Johnson (R-Paint Chips) when Russ Feingold beats him like a drum in Wisconsin come November. Ron, best known to the staff here as ol' Shreds of Freedom, has been a regular here ever since he came to prominence by beating Feingold six years ago. Over the weekend, he stopped by again and grazed the All U Can Eat buffet for a good hour or so. A reporter from Inside Higher Ed was in the next booth.
"Is that guy OK?" the reporter asked his server, who just smiled and walked back to the kitchen.
"We've got the internet—you have so much information available. Why do you have to keep paying different lecturers to teach the same course? You get one solid lecturer and put it up online and have everybody available to that knowledge for a whole lot cheaper? But that doesn't play very well to tenured professors in the higher education cartel. So again, we need destructive technology for our higher education system," he said. Johnson added, "One of the examples I always used—if you want to teach the Civil War across the country, are you better off having, I don't know, tens of thousands of history teachers that kind of know the subject, or would you be better off popping in 14 hours of Ken Burns's Civil War tape and then have those teachers proctor based on that excellent video production already done? You keep duplicating that over all these different subject areas."
Why stop there? I know some places where you could get some fine instructional videos on human biology, and vibrators, too.
An earlier version of this post mistakenly identified Sen. Johnson as D-Paint Chips. He is R-Paint Chips. We regret the error.

In Ukraine Sleeping Beauty Doth Lie
Despite tension between the Ukrainian National Art Museum's Director and artist, Taras Polataiko, the Sleeping Beauty Exhibit will run between August 22 and September 9, 2012. Polataiko obtained five female volunteers for his Sleeping Beauty exhibit in which these women will reenact the fairy tale by the same name. Each of the women will be displayed in the museum's central gallery on raised beds and will be 'sleeping' for two hours a day. During the women's slumber, if a male viewer chooses to kiss the princess and the princess awakens, the couple must wed. The sleeping princess will only be allowed to awaken by the kiss of a prince.
To make sure that the women volunteers and the male viewers follow through on the commitment, each volunteer and each male that enters the museum are required to fill out a contract. The contract for the male viewers states that if they choose to kiss a princess and she opens her eyes, he agrees to marry her. The men can only kiss a princess once. In return, the female volunteers signed a contract that states, if they choose to open their eyes upon being kissed, they must wed their prince.
One of the female volunteers stated that she fully believes that if her prince has come, she will intuitively know. No prince has yet to awaken one of these sleeping beauties, but never fear, the art exhibit still has thirteen days to go. Each prince and princess must be 18 years of age to enter into the contracts. Taras Polataiko's hopes that he is able to create a happily ever after for at least one couple.

A pastor was shot and killed in the middle of Sunday church service in Dayton, Ohio on 28 February, police said. The pastor, identified by the Montgomery County Coroner's Office as 71-year-old William Schooler, was allegedly shot by his brother as the choir sang.
The shooting occurred at St Peters Missionary Baptist Church after 12.30pm EST/5.30pm GMT. According to WDTN, police took the shooter, believed to be Daniel Gregory Schooler, into custody at the church. Daniel Gregory Schooler, 68, was arrested and booked into Montgomery County Jail, but charges have not been formally pressed.
Witnesses said the choir was singing when the shooter followed the pastor up to the pulpit and shot him. Chaos ensued as the nearly 20-person congregation took off running to safety, WDTN reported. Police were able to arrest the shooter upon arrival and pronounced the pastor dead at the scene.
"He had deep roots in the community," said Schooler's friend and fellow community leader Ronnie Moreland. "He was a beloved leader. It's hard to put into words what has happened."
According to the Dayton Daily News, the alleged shooter has a history of violence, with family members noting he suffered from mental health problems. In 2001, the alleged shooter was charged with felonious assault with a firearm specification and carrying a concealed weapon and given five years of probation.
A year later, Schooler attacked a 27-year-old woman, knocking her unconscious. The victim claimed the assault lasted 40 minutes and said she suffered cuts, contusions and other injuries. He was convicted of felonious assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to two years in prison. He was involved in several other incidents in 2007 and 2008.
The Montgomery County Coroner's Office announced that an autopsy for William Schooler is scheduled for 29 February. The pastor was formerly a member of the Dayton Public School Board of Education and the president of the Dayton Baptist Pastors and Ministers Union of Greater Dayton, Inc. The union told reporters that the previously scheduled Black History Worship Service at Zion Baptist Church was canceled in honour of the fallen pastor.

The search report established for a patent application is transmitted to the applicant together with copies of any cited documents. (Wiki)
"The search is an essential element of the grant procedure, being designed to identify prior art relevant to the application. The intention is to make it possible to determine, on the basis of the documents mentioned in the search report, whether and to what extent the invention is patentable (...). Knowledge of the prior art forms the basis for examination of the application by the examining divisions. It is also important for applicants, giving them a basis for deciding whether to continue prosecuting their applications and have them examined. Lastly, it is also important for the public and especially for competitors, enabling them to gain an idea of the scope of any protection that might be granted."
Patent Search is similar to Google Search you use on your PC or smartphone. You access an online search system; you use a command line to input keywords. Even search line syntaxis is more or less the same... well, check it for every system you start to use. By the way, Google Patents is a popular free Patent search database, visually hardly distinguishable from Google search, and also functionally equivalent to specialised free Patent search databases, like Espacenet or Patentscope.
The search results come in similar form, too. Depending on keywords and syntaxis used, one receives a list of links to online documents. A difference is: Google Search provides links to any websites and documents containing search keywords, meanwhile, Patent Search Databases reward with the list of invention patent documents only.
Next, could you formalise yourself what you do with the list of Google Search links? - And here, you enter into the domain of Search Report understanding and preparation. It is much of what Patent Search Report experts do. Usually, you have an idea of what answers you search for your question. You scroll the list of Google Search links and analyse their contents to find the most relevant answers to the idea questions. Some sources, like Wikipedia, give a general understanding of the subject matter. Some others may disclose specific information you already know. Rarely, you could find a single source with all your questions answered, or more often, you collect the answers from several sources. Finally, in some cases, you even may not find the answers needed and, therefore, you have to invent them by yourself.
When it comes to Patent Search Report, the Expert receives your invention as a patent application with the list of precise idea answers (or claims). Being skilled in the art, he applies keywords and searches Patent database for other patents as sources of prior art. Presumably, he/she will find differently relevant sources in the search results. The Expert would select the most relevant ones to the invention, and measure their relevance to the invention claims regarding Novelty and Inventive Step. Finally, the expert writes a Search Report with the most common indication. The most possible letter "X", "Y" and "A" are found in the report.
We prepared you a short table showing the Search Report example and indicating the meaning of these Search Report letters:
Does it mean the withdrawal of the application if you have got "X"-s for all claims of your invention? Not necessary. You may also receive Search Opinion suggesting that the Novelty and the Inventive step of your invention idea have not been disclosed enough in the application submitted. Therefore, you are welcome to review claims of your invention and re-submit the application again.
The Search Report is the first document from the expert about your patent application. It does not mean, you need to abandon or withdraw your application, but it means you need to evaluate the report and decide which way to proceed with the prosecution of the application. If you need assistance in understanding a search report or preparing the corrections of the patent application, preparing the reply to examiner, please contact the most qualified patent experts at Idea Protection.

I am really torn with this item. I LOVE the smell and the lather, but sometimes I find it leaves my hair with a weird texture of being almost both dry and oily in different sections. I don't know if this is a "me" problem or what.
Britta on Jun 7, 20155 out of 5 stars
This lip balm is seriously the best. My friends and I are all obsessed with it. Planning on getting a bunch more to take with me on my year abroad.

About FireIslandSoapCo
A bath time experience that embodies tradition & authenticity.
The Fire Island Soap Company sees itself as a response to the shift in culture we have all experienced as artisans. It is the very ethos of a preserved technique and the ingenuity of true craftsmanship that defines us.
This is truly a hands-on reformation in promoting art through the human experience. The bars are hand made, hand cut, air dried, and packaged by hand.
We appreciate the 'anthropology' of soap and it's connection with geography. Every region has it's gift, and that gift becomes the soap. Understanding these gifts puts every soap maker in a perpetual state of possibility.
So, why are we making soap - what is the purpose? For the Fire Island Soap Company, it is to revive traditional soap making methods. It is to make a real soap whose ingredients are real, pure, and true.
This art of ours is unique - as the end product will be experienced and not merely observed. We are appealing to the senses of sight, touch, and smell - which we must remain connected to. It all started with a wave crashing on the shore of the Fire Island coastline. Love & Lather.

Just Jared has premiered the first poster for Columbia Pictures's Bad Teacher, staring Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake. Get your first look at the one-sheet below.
Some teachers just don't give an F. For example, there's Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz). She's foul-mouthed, ruthless, and inappropriate. She drinks, she gets high, and she can't wait to marry her meal ticket and get out of her bogus day job. When she's dumped by her fiancé, she sets her plan in motion to win over a rich, handsome substitute (Justin Timberlake - competing for his affections with an overly energetic colleague, Amy (Lucy Punch). When Elizabeth also finds herself fighting off the advances of a sarcastic, irreverent gym teacher (Jason Segel), the consequences of her wild and outrageous schemes give her students, her coworkers, and even herself an education like no other.

Frequently asked questions
Find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about FLO Home and the FLO network.
About FLO Home
How long will it take to charge an electric vehicle with a FLO Home charging station?
It all depends on your battery's charge status upon connection. A Level 2 charging station like FLO Home will provide up to 19 Miles of range per hour of charging and will charge your car up top 5 times faster than a 120 V power outlet.
How much electricity will the FLO Home charging station use to charge my vehicle?
On average, each kilometre of EV travel requires 200 W of energy in an electric vehicle.
Can the FLO Home charging station be installed outside?
FLO Home can be installed inside or outside any house. It is perfectly adapted for Canadian winters thanks to its NEMA 4X aluminum casing and is certified to operate at temperatures ranging from -40°F to 122°F.
Can I install the FLO Home charging station myself?
The station must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor. Installation costs generally vary between $500 and $1,000.
What's the difference between the FLO Home X5 and G5 models?
The FLO Home X5 is connected; the G5 is not. Both models are just as sturdy and reliable, and are built with the same high-quality components.
What's the advantage of having a connected charging station?
A network connection allows users to configure smart features like Charging Schedule, and view usage data on a secure online portal. Connectivity also allows the FLO team to monitor remotely the station's status and provide real-time technical support, ensuring total peace of mind to EV drivers.
What is the charging station's lifespan?
The FLO Home charging station is guaranteed for three years, but it is designed to last over 10 years thanks to its top-quality components.
About the FLO network
Where can I find FLO network charging stations?
FLO operates thousands of public charging stations. FLO works with numerous partners like cities, retailers, employers and real-estate developers to extend its charging network.
How can I locate FLO network charging stations?
You can locate charging stations online at flo.ca or via the FLO mobile app for iOS and Android.
How much does it cost to charge on the public network?
Rates are set by charging station owners and may vary from one site to another depending on the type of charging station, the billing method (per hour or per session) and the location. Rates are clearly displayed on each station's screen and can also be viewed online or on the FLO mobile app.
Although rates are set by individual station owners, FLO is a strong proponent of rate standardization and issues recommended rates to provide guidelines. These standardized rates allow us to maintain and improve the charging infrastructure as well as to provide a reliable and consistent experience to EV drivers throughout the network, while still keeping EV charging prices very competitive compared to fuel prices. Private station owners who offer charging as a customer amenity can determine different rates and usage policies. Charging stations owned and operated by FLO follow these recommended rates.
*As an example here are the recommended rates per province in Canada
|Fast charging
|Standard charging
|Per hour
|Per hour
|Per session
|Quebec, British Columbia, Maritimes
|Ontario, Prairies, Territories
What is the difference between billing modes?
Station owners are free to select the billing method that is best suited for their location.
Per-hour billing is most commonly applied. Charges are calculated to the nearest second, based on how long the vehicle is connected. Therefore, even if your charging session has ended and no energy is transfered to your electric vehicle, charges will continue to be calculated. This billing method promotes courteous behaviour among users by preventing drivers from blocking the station for a long period of time.
Per-session billing charges a fixed price for the whole session, regardless of how long the vehicle is connected. This billing method is usually applied in locations where vehicles are parked for long duration (e.g., train stations, airports, etc.).
For some U.S. based customers, charging stations can be configured to charge station users by kilowatt-per-hour (kwh); some users like this method because it adjusts based on how fast the vehicle can charge, while allowing site owners to bill based on the total amount of energy transferred during a charging session.
What types of charging stations are available on the FLO network?
The FLO Network offers standard (Level 2) charging stations that provide up to 19 Miles of range per hour, as well as fast chargers that provide up to 155 Miles of range per hour.
Are the charging stations compatible with all types of vehicles?
The FLO Network's Level 2 charging stations are compatible with all electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle models. Fast chargers are compatible with vehicles equipped with CHAdeMO or SAE Combo charging ports. Learn more about compatibility.
What is the FLO access card used for?
The FLO card enables users to authenticate themselves at charging stations, start charging sessions and pay for their sessions using credits previously transferred to their FLO account.
How can I get a FLO access card?
To get your FLO access card, create a FLO account or log in to your account and click "Order a card". Your card will be delivered by mail and will already be associated with your account.
A $15 charge applies when ordering a FLO access card. Please note that you will have to transfer funds to your account using a credit card before using your FLO access card.
What is the FLO mobile app used for?
The FLO mobile app for iOS and Android helps users find available public charging stations and allows them to pay for their charging sessions using credits previously transferred to their FLO accounts, manage the parameters of their FLO Home charging stations and access their usage data from public stations as well as their residential charging station.

I give Confederation School consent to ship me industrial emails with necessary data on information, occasions, alternatives and programs. In consequence, many introductory programming programs focus on low-level-of-abstraction languages like C, or mathematically-centered languages like MATLAB. It advanced into a programming language that simpletons like me might perceive, use, and apply to make one thing do something.
This uncovered us to varied forms of programming but didn't specify what type of programming we really wanted to know to turn out to be good at our jobs. In studying C, you are not solely learning considered one of right now's most powerful and standard programming languages, but you are also making ready your self for different related programming languages. Relying on the corporate, when you leave good impression on the first interview – you might be asked again to a second interview or they might offer you a check train. For all prospects, who've been with DirecTV for over 10 years, you're eligible for a loyalty gift. On level (7) this looks to be extra about lower stage languages vs larger level. It takes time to get used to pair programming so don't fret if it feels awkward at first.
It began with 25 languages back in 2001, and now measures greater than 150 languages as soon as a month. Most households spend their whole free time in front of TV so basically dad and mom influence kids greater than TELEVISION itself. With a purpose to achieve success in programming career, you might want to keep learning and evolving, that's the most important problem of this discipline. This language comes with syntax which like grammar is a algorithm for using code of different languages to communicate with the pc. Hey attention-grabbing article, I too am thinking of pursuing a career as a database programmer and im sort of new to programming. Arduino is an open source hardware/software programming platform based around Atmel microcontrollers.
Programming and Synthetic Intelligence particularly might be extraordinary: what seems like simply several a whole bunch of lines of code can lead to a bot which autonomously behaves in a extremely smart approach. For these considering providing a lesson at house or within the classroom to develop some important excited about what youngsters see on television this Gender Equity lesson will be useful. PHP : It's server-side programming is strongly really useful to each net Penetration tester. This quick course is for builders who want to transition their present programming expertise to Xcode, Swift, and the iOS SDK.
As talked about earlier in the article, one of the simplest ways to start programming is to obtain a programming language (of your choice) and just begin doing it. In the event you live together with your parent(s)/guardian(s), ask them for concepts on what you may write to assist round the home, like computerized shopping lists, reminders, alarm clocks, or other useful utilities.
