Asia Clean Air Week focuses on more efficient vehicles
The Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI) contributed to Asia Clean Air Week which was held jointly with the Asia Pacific Clean Air Partnership Joint Forum. The event organised by UN Environment and Clean Air Asia was held in Bangkok from 19th to 23rd March.
GFEI led a session on "Doubling fuel economy in Asia," which shared experiences on developing national policies for more efficient vehicles, including electric vehicles, as well as the challenges and benefits of having a regional approach to promoting policy development.
Bert Fabian of UN Environment opened the session with an introduction to fuel economy and integrating electric vehicles, stating that 20% of all greenhouse gasses emitted as a result of human activity stem directly from the use of vehicles. "With significant economic growth in the ASEAN region in particular" he said "it is crucial for these governments to push forward policies that will promote the use of electric vehicles to mitigate air pollution, which jeopardises not only us, but future generations."
Zifei Yang of ICCT presented an overview of global fuel economy policies, with an emphasis on the application of fuel efficiency standards, fiscal measures, and vehicle fuel efficiency labelling schemes. Later, Gessarin Gunthawong from GIZ presented ongoing work on ASEAN fuel economy roadmap development, and the impact of Thailand's fuel economy policies. Representatives from Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Nepal also updated the group with recent developments on fuel efficiency policies.

The gravitational pull of the moon influences the tides in the ocean. As a symbol it has a different meaning for everyone. For some it's a purely feminine talisman celebrating birth, fertility and cycles. It can represent new beginnings and the passage of time. In some cultures it channels the divine spirit. No wonder this cosmic symbol has such a powerful draw for us.

Corning Incorporated and Samsung Mobile Display Company on Thursday announced they are beginning an equity joint venture in Korea that focuses on making the glass substrate for Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) displays.
OLEDs were a big topic at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, especially the large-panel TVs sporting the display technology. But OLED tablets were also on the menu, as Toshiba teased with a 7.7" concept tablet with a high contrast AMOLED display.
The joint venture between Samsung and Corning will combine Corning's Lotus Glass substrate technology and Samsung Mobile Display's OLED display technology for displays of all sizes, from tablet to TV.
Corning's Lotus Glass substrate was unveiled less than four months ago, and the company designed it for use in low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) and oxide thin-film transistor (TFT) backplane manufacturing environments, which could work in either LCD or OLED displays.

We are thrilled to announce Dave Belden has been cast in the part of Sam in Breathe With Me!
Breathe With Me, a show exploring end-of-life caregivers and their mental health, is one of the productions in SPARKfest® 2017. Devised by Erasing the Distance Artistic Company members Millie Hurley and Maura Kidwell, Breathe With Me explores end-of-life caregivers and their mental health.
Caregiving is spoken of as both a gift and a burden. Breathe With Me raises questions about how hard it is on the actual person who is having to balance work, family, and the needs of the ailing family member. How is the mental health of the caregiver being taken care of? Is this person getting emotional support?
Below is a portion of Sam's story:
"We called the coroner, and…. My dad had a wicked sense of humor and.. the coroner said 'look we've got a rash of.. deaths tonight I can't explain it, uh but it's gonna take us a while is that okay' and we said yeah that's fine, he's just.. sitting here we'll just sit here with him, and that's fine. So we did and, y'know I think the relief of everything we were kinda laughing a little bit because we thought, you know, wouldn't it be really funny if – and he would have loved this.. He had this gorilla.. suit (small laugh) that he loved that was based on.. this old TV show, um, Ernie Kovacs and he loved this thing and we were like we should put him in this suit and let the coroner show up and… it sounds awful but it's- it's something that he would have loved. We ended up not doing it but… They came, they finally came at about 3 a.m. I think. "
SPARKfest® 2017 is September 7 – 24, 2017 at Filament Theatre in the Portage Park neighborhood.
See you there…

On 1 July 2016 the new Queensland lockout and alcohol consumption laws commenced.
If you have not already experienced the changes to the Liquor Act yourself at your favorite nightclub or bar you will soon notice that you will not be able to buy any drinks after 2am, or 3am if you are in what the Liquor Regulation refers to as the Safe Night Precinct.
You will also notice that after 12am you cannot buy rapid intoxication drinks:-
- any shots (shooters, bomb, blaster or testtubes);
- a drink with more than 45ml of spirits or liqueur;
- a jelly shot;
- pre-mixed drink with an alcohol volume of more than 5%; or
- or cocktails with more than 2 standard drinks.
There are some exceptions to the purchase of cocktails in that the restrictive laws do not apply for a cocktail that is listed on a cocktail menu, has the price listed on the menu, is sold at the list price, and is not designed to be consumed rapidly.
Right now the lock out laws in Queensland apply from 3am. On 1 February 2017 the lock out time will be at the earlier time of 1:00am meaning that if you leave a venue after 1am, you will not be permitted to re-enter the venue.
With the ban on the sale of shots, cocktails and premixed drinks after 12am, and the earlier lock out time in the new future, you will find that there are a lot more intoxicated people on the streets in the earlier hours of the morning.
Interestingly enough, the lock our and drinking restrictions do not apply to Casinos (holding a commercial special facility license) if they have an approved application for extended trading hours which will allow them to trade until 5am. The lock our provisions also do not apply on New Year's Day.
If you have any enquiries about the liquor law or have been charged with an alcohol related offence, Mr Joshua Brown of McNamara Law would be happy to assist (Ph (07) 3812 2300).

3 Things From The Past Week // 10Sunday, October 15, 2017
1 | This is the first time in a long time that I haven't had a blog post go up during the week. I haven't had any ideas on what to post about. None. I'm a little disappointed in myself but now is when I'm glad I started this series. This is the time when it's really helpful. When I don't have any ideas on what to post about, at least I'm still getting something out there once a week.
It's mid-October and I'm already retreating into hibernation mode. I haven't been blogging as much, reading as much, on Twitter as much. I've been sleeping in too long on the weekdays since it's so dark when I wake up that it looks like it's the middle of the night. And with the sun setting so early, by 8 PM I'm ready to call it a night work-wise, when usually that's the time I'm just getting started. I stopped making the most of my time. Maybe now that I've realized it, I'll start again.
2 | I think I want to try to knit a blanket this winter. All I've ever knit is a couple of scarves. Doing a blanket would be a new challenge.
3 | One of my friends asked me, "What's the best compliment you've ever received?" I think a person's answer to this question reveals the kind of person they want to be. It reflects what they strive for. The compliments we hold closest aren't necessarily ones we find are true, but ones we would feel happiest about if they were.
The best compliment I've ever received was that I had a magnetic personality. I love the thought of that. I'm often worried about annoying or boring other people, so it's nice to think that there's at least one person out there who thinks my personality doesn't push people away but draws them in.
As humans, we often spend a lot of time self-critiquing and self-doubting. It's good to take a moment to reflect on compliments you've been given and traits you like about yourself. What's the best compliment you've ever received?

Of all the ways to make tons of money quickly these days, one stands out: make a hot "Initial Public Offering" (IPO) for a cryptocurrency—take a cryptocurrency public through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) to ride the cryptoMania trend.
Hot IPOs have always been a quick way for investors to make tons of money. Provided that they create the IPO or take part in it as "angel investors" and "venture capitalists." That means acquiring shares in the IPO for pennies or a few dollars at pre-IPO prices, and then find other investors to unload these shares at hyper-inflated prices.
That's usually the case at times when money is easy and investors are hyped about the theme behind the IPO asset---an exotic product or a new technology that promises to change the world and turn investing into a mania.
Like in the late 1990s, the dotcom era. Angel investors and venture capitalists bought stakes in dotcom companies for a few cents before they went public, unloaded them for double and triple digit dollars the day these companies made their debut on Wall Street. We all know what happened in that case -- these early investors made tons of money, while investors who joined the party late lost tons of it.
Now money is easy again, and hot IPOs are back in fashion. Now however, they aren't about taking stocks public. Instead, they are taking cryptocurrencies public -- generating and distributing crypto tokens among the crowdfunding participants.
These ICOs are hyped with the great promise cryptocurrencies hold for a world in which there is an eroding faith in central banks.
Investor hype has created a great deal of buzz , made ICOs hot, and helped investors who have participated in them make tons of money. An initial coin offering (ICO) for a blockchain project called Bancor, for instance, raised close to $153m in ether, the native currency on the ethereum blockchain, as part of a crowdsale.
Among the early investors was legendary venture capitalist, Tim Draper of VC fund Draper Fisher Jurvetson, according to the same source, which has added to the cryptocurrency hype.
Then there's Tezos blockchain project ICO, which has raised a record of $232m-worth of bitcoin and ether. And the list gets longer by the day—see icorating.com.
And of course there are the Bitcoin Investment Trust Shares that began trading in the OTC market late last year, gaining 208.26 percent so far this year, leaving gold in the dust.
"Bitcoin is accepted by 100+ companies including Microsoft and Dell," says John Paul McCaffrey. "As new cryptocurrencies develop it is very important to be able to pay for products and services through a variety of merchants in order to sustain current coin holders and attract new ones. It might be shocking to learn that there are a number of car dealerships across the country that accept Bitcoin as payment. Buying these currencies is as easy and downloading the Coinbase app on your smartphone and creating an account. To set limits on your purchases you can use the web-based app GDAX, provided by Coinbase."

Bitcoin Investment Trust Shares (GBTC)

"The cryptocurrency market still proves to be quite volatile which definitely creates opportunity for money to be made," adds McCaffrey. "But trading is the hard way to make money in every market. Getting in the market ahead of the crowd, and getting out when the IPO or the ICO makes its market debut is the easy way."

SO, David Cameron has given his backing to equal pay audits to combat an alleged 19.1% "gender pay gap". Mr Cameron would do well to heed Mark Twain's observation that there are lies, damned lies and statistics. The statistics associated with the "gap" have largely been discredited.
Carrie Lukas, in her web article It's Time That We End the Equal Pay Myth on forbes.com, highlights that the statistics of median earnings for men and women do not compare like with like. Ms Lukas points out that differences in career choices made by men and women are not considered.
Similarly, Christina Hoff Sommers, in her web article Wage gap myth exposed - by Feminists on huffingtonpost.com - indicates that the statistics do not stand up to scrutiny. Ms Sommers notes that one report highlighted the disparity in pay of social sciences graduates. On closer examination, however, they were comparing such disparate groups as economics graduates (66% men, median salary $70,000) and sociology graduates (68% female, median salary $40,000). This is hardly comparing like with like.
The above articles may be critical of American studies, but I believe it likely that UK reports are also compiled by innumerate individuals, too, perhaps for a "political" agenda.
If Mr Cameron truly wishes to campaign for fair pay, then he should not compel organisations to reveal the average earnings of males and females, which makes no account for salary differences between managerial, clerical and manual posts, or full-time and part-time employees.
Instead, Mr Cameron should compel organisations to use an approved job evaluation scheme to determine a fair wage for each post. These analyse a number of pertinent factors and have been in use in the public sector, with trade union support, for decades.

I read an article today that said 90% of expired listings will not re-list with the same agent. I can understand this when most agent communication is haphazard at best. The truth is, it doesn't have to be that way. You can re-list your own expired listings by simply giving your sellers the customer service they deserve.
I'm talking about open and honest communication with your clients. I'm talking about keeping your clients informed. Are you one of the agents that always seems to drop the ball when it comes to communication? Here are a few tips to get you started
1. Give your clients weekly updates on how many views their property is receiving online and how many inquiries you have had via phone or other agents.
2. Let them know how their home is positioned in the market. Don't tell them their home is priced right if it is not. It's not fair to you or the client.
3. Return client phone calls daily, not weekly. If you were calling them you know you would expect the same.
4. Ask for your clients to re-list with you. Many times agents could get the listing a second time if they simply ask for it.
If you can follow these simple tips you will be well on your way to re-listing your own expired listings. Wouldn't that be so much easier than hunting down another agent's expireds?

Manchester Scholars Join Experts to Help Build Solid Foundations
This article features in the new edition of Geotopics, which looks back on our work throughout 2017. Click here to read the magazine, which also includes case studies from highways, rail and other sectors.
When working on a new building at The University of Manchester, Geotechnics helped to turn the site into a
classroom after inviting tutors and students to join the ground investigation.
The Henry Royce Institute, the UK's the national body promoting research and applications in advanced materials, is locating its £150m hub building into the heart of the University's engineering campus.
Geotechnics was commissioned by Manchester for the second phase of the ground investigation for the institute's new state-of-the-art facility.
Paul Hayes, Geotechnics' North West
Manager, took the opportunity to
invite some of the University's geology
department onto site to see what was
going on.
Paul explained: "By engaging with The University of Manchester in this way we were able to explain to the lecturers and geology students the value of good quality ground investigation as part of a risk management exercise.
"We also highlighted the big part this work plays in understanding the ground while informing the design and its evolution, with the aim of reducing the level of uncertainty and ultimately cost."
Previous investigation work on the site had been undertaken using conventional triple tube rotary coring techniques and air/mist flushing medium - however, during fieldworks it became clear that the sandstone beneath the site was extremely weak.
Paul said: "In part, it had been weathered to a residual soil with limited cementation. At the depth of the proposed basement foundation level, most of the rock was recovered as sand.
"We were able to improve core recovery by proposing an alternative technique - a GeoBor S Wireline system with a specialist Mazier-type barrel for coring in very soft and loose formations."
Paul also added: "Once we leave site
our works are never physically seen
as part of the finished product, but
the importance of it should never be
underestimated – others do indeed
base their work upon ours as a
foundation for the future".
The new Royce building is set to open in 2020. It will be located next to the Alan Turing Building on Upper Brook Street, in close proximity to she Schools of Physics and Astronomy and Chemistry, as well as the £61m National Graphene Institute (NGI) and the £350m Manchester Engineering Campus Development (MECD), which is currently under construction.
The £235m Royce Institute is a hub and spoke model, with the hub at The University of Manchester and spokes at the founding partners: the universities of Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial College London, as well as the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) and the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL).
The Royce will enable the UK to grow its world-leading research and innovation base in advanced materials technology that underpins all industrial sectors.
Research and industrial collaboration at the Royce is initially focused on nine core areas, with The University of Manchester championing four of these, including:
- Two-dimensional Materials – such as graphene (which was isolated in Manchester in 2004)
- Materials for Demanding Environments
- Nuclear Materials
- Biomedical Systems and Devices
Paul Hayes is the Regional Manager for our Chester office. To find out more about our site investigation work in the North West, please email email@example.com. For more information about our work across the country, please contact our expert teams around the UK.

Travel Away's Stefica Maradin and Chad Burnett of TS
The historic and welcoming Steam Whistle Brewery
Transat will be capitalizing on its transatlantic roots more than ever before next year, with impressive lift and land offerings. Such was the message at a by-invitation-only event held for 150 agents this week at the Steam Whistle Brewery at the foot of the CN Tower in downtown Toronto.
Agents were treated to sessions at eight themed "cafés", each featuring regional munchies such as souvlaki and mini pizzas at the Italy/Greece station.
"We've taken a different approach to tonight's event," Nicole Bursey, Commerical Director, told me. "Rather than looking for quantities of agents, our BDMs hand-picked the agents most likely to sell more Europe." For 2017, she added, there won't be lots of new product, but an emphasis on how the company is positioning itself with more focus on guided tours, on cruises (now packaged with air) and convenient connector flights in Canada such as daily YVR/YYZ service.
Another education emphasis was on the fact that the company is featuring London and Paris, even in winter ("Great Christmas shopping!" Bursey assured me).
The days when clients waited for March Break to be over to start planning their European holiday seem to be gone. TTAND's Scott Waldron told me that he's seeing interest in destinations as diverse as Italy and Iceland - and "It's so nice to see Paris coming back!" Maggie Osorio of Transat's downtown retail office said she'd had eight clients asking for the Europe brochure last week alone.
Thanks to enticing seat sales there's already been a lot of bookings for 2017, and with the company offering flights from five Canadian cities to 27 destinations within Europe, it looks like it's going to be a bumper year for TS in Europe.

Sensor Fusion in Human Machine Interaction Systems and in Medicine
Human-computer interaction (HCI) is increasingly based on user inputs detected in speech, facial expressions or gestures from audio and video, not to mention physiological signals.
These kinds of user input can directly control the interface of a computer application. Another, more abstract problem considered here is to estimate the user's affective state from the user input.
Real human-computer interaction (HMI) systems based on different modalities face the problem that not all information channels are always available at regular time steps. Nevertheless an estimation of the current user state is required at anytime to enable the system to interact instantaneously based on the available modalities. Novel approaches to decision fusion of fragmentary classifications are developed for audio, video and physiological signals.
The developed fusion framework based on Associative Memories and Markov Fusion Networks leads to an outstanding performance of the recognition of the affective user state.
In medicine, usually different kinds of imaging devices are used for diagnosis and guidance in therapy. In radiation therapy for cancer treatment, for example, the correct and reproducible positioning of patients at the treatment machine (e.g. linear accelerator) as well as monitoring and control of the correct position during the treatment are important demands. The possibilities to gather information on position and motion of inner organs and bones during treatment are limited. Electronic Portal Images (EPI) are obtained by projecting the body interior of the patient onto a fluorescent screen by using a high energy treatment beam. It is commonly used by the clinicians to verify shape and location of the treatment beam with respect to the patient's anatomy.
Due to imaging physics, the unprocessed electronic portal images are very poor in dynamics and resolution compared to x-ray images produced for diagnostics and irradiation planning (simulator images).
Motion is principally only detectable in the parallel direction from the EPIs. To overcome this problem, optical 3-D surface sensors are developed and installed at the treatment machine enabling a fast acquisition of surface of patient's body. Correct positioning of the patient is verified by comparing the 3-D surface data obtained during irradiation with the body surface extracted from CT-data or with those produced in advance by an identical 3-D surface sensor at the simulator. Optical 3-D sensors can detect motion in the direction vertical to the projection plane of the portal image which is otherwise impossible.
This motivates the fusion of surface data obtained from the optical 3-D sensor with electronic portal images and CT data. The aim is to use all the available information for the motion analysis by combining position data of both sensors which are most accurate and expressive.

The upper course of the Allier separates the mountains of the Margeride from those of the Velay and lies for the most part through deep gorges. The river then traverses the plains of Langeac and Brioude, and receives the waters of the Alagnon some miles above the town of Issoire. Swelled by torrents from the mountains of Dore and Dôme, it unites with the river Dore at its entrance to the department to which it gives its name. It then flows through a wide but shallow channel, joining the Sioule some distance above Moulins, the chief town on its banks. It soon after becomes the boundary line between the departments of Cher and Nièvre, and reaches the Loire 4 m. west of Nevers, after a course of 269 m. Its basin has an area of 6755 sq. m. The Allier is classed as navigable for the last 154 m. of its course, but there is little traffic on it.

These past few months have been hell for me, which I am sure quite a few of you are aware of, if you follow my tweets. First it started with a particular drug manufacturer to all of a sudden, without notice to its customers, stop making the one and only muscle relaxant that I have been on for years. Some of you may wonder, what is the big deal? Well, there are literally only a couple of true muscle relaxants on the market, and the other one, it seems I am allergic to it, causing me to sleepwalk up to four or five times a night. Hubby was very afraid of me falling down the stairs or burning the house down.
During this time, my medications have been increased, changed, stopped and restarted, all just enough to completely mess with me. There was the time I went through withdrawal, where my husband sat by my side, rubbed my back, telling/reminding me to breathe while holding a bucket so I could puke up nothing, listening to me cry in pain wanting to just give up because I was hurting so much (if my daughters are reading this, no I wouldn't have given up, I was just venting so don't worry).
In effort to alleviate the pain caused by the constant muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders, which gradually grow down my back, I first went to massage therapy, something I clearly cannot afford, only to have the massage therapist make me worse. Thus I went back to physiotherapy something I admittedly hate, having been in and out of treatment since my first accident when I was 17. There isn't a machine/device that hasn't been tried on me, but given the amount of pain I have been in, I thought I would give it another try. The physiotherapist I am seeing, I saw a few years ago, so she remembers my body well.
One of the first things I was put back into was traction. Oh, so much fun. Your head is literally put in this ridiculous contraption with a heating pad wrapped around your neck whilst being pulled up and down. Twice a week for a month, followed by massage and more heat. I forgot, when I first arrive I have a set of exercises to do, tailored to how much I can move, which isn't much some days. The traction didn't help, it caused more pain. Some pain is good, but too much pain is bad. Next we tried acupuncture. She put a whopping four needles in me, two at the base of my head, then two at the base of my neck. By the time I arrived home, I was in misery. The pain had quadrupled, and for the next twenty-four hours, I ate as many painkillers as possible. Now, I was quite willing to give this a second try but my therapist said no because I had had such an adverse reaction.
This week when I arrived for my usual appointment, and was trying to do my exercises, my physiotherapist made the mistake of asking how I was? I don't really know what happened but the tears flowed, down my cheeks, ruining my make-up, you see my neck muscles had been inflamed for days. After finishing my exercises, I had my massage, and she asked if I wanted to try laser treatment? Why not? So a zap here, a zap there and there, all completely painless. In basic terms, the theory of the laser is to break up the inflamed cells, to promote the healing process so my muscles can relax. It was hours later when I noticed the inflammation had actually decreased some. I had my second laser treatment today, a lot more zapping.
Note: After leaving physio, I went to pick up one of my prescriptions and spoke with my pharmacist, a lovely man. He has been researching medications for me, and in that process, found out that another company is now making my original muscle relaxant. He will fax my physician on Monday for a script and have it filled for me asap.

"If you just do what is right, you won't always worry about what could go wrong." Sounds like something you may have heard from your mother. That's because generation after generation, some things just hold up to the test of time. Call it good, solid family values. Do what's right. Be Faithful. Work hard. Honesty is the best policy. Remember that its not about you. Pray. Some may call it old-fashioned, but when something works… you just stick with it.
These are the values and lessons that Lawerence Denney was taught by his parents. These are the values he lived growing up, and subsequently taught to his children. These are the values and lessons that he still lives by and that shape his decisions today. Some may call it simple, but often, it is the simple things that break the least and stand up to the test of time.

« How Not to Argue for School Choice | Main | Talking to, Not Past, One Another About Race, Schooling, and Reform »
Is School Choice an End, a Means, or What?
I've always been struck that the most vociferous school choice supporters approach the whole issue as a passionate cause, while more equivocal choice advocates talk about reforms like charter schooling as one potential tool for "scaling system reform." The most impassioned advocates embrace a simple charge: expand the amount of school choice. Meanwhile, the second camp argues that choice needs to be deployed carefully and with copious oversight.
Me? I've never been wholly comfortable with either camp. For me, school reform rests on a series of pretty simple tenets. I want reform to serve all of our children. I want reform to promote schooling that inspires students, builds character, creates citizens, and helps students master a rich body of knowledge and skills. I want reform to empower families and educators. I want reform to respect communities and their values. I want reform to bust up obdurate bureaucracies and strip away intrusive rules and regulations. I want reform to upend anachronistic arrangements and offer room to creative problem-solvers who are responsible for the quality of their handiwork.
Much of the time, school choice is a useful way to advance these goals. Choice systems make it easier for educators and other problem-solvers to launch new schools, offer autonomy, and enable parents to find schools that suit their children and respect their values. In all of this, choice is much more than a mere means with which to close achievement gaps or help scale "no excuses" charter schools. It's an avenue that helps make it possible to reimagine the very shape of American education. This is why I'm generally a full-spectrum school choice supporter.
Of course, there's no assurance that choice will always serve my aims. When advocates push for Washington to promote ambitious choice proposals or state legislatures to subject choice programs to heavy-handed new regulations, their agenda no longer complements mine. When advocates attack the values and decency of parents and voters who express concerns about the impact of choice proposals on their children and communities, or make the case for choice by dismissing public schools as a dumpster fire, their agenda has become entirely detached from mine.
Anyway, for those friends and readers who get frustrated when they think I'm being "contrary," I hope this clarifies where I'm coming from.

Submit your support inquiries via the DevExpress Support Center for assistance.
Developer Express Inc is proud to announce the immediate availability of its newest release, DevExpress v20.1. Built and optimized for desktop, web, and mobile developers alike...
With 40 categories and over 400 products to choose from, DevExpress is honored to have been voted best in class 18 times in this year's Visual Studio Magazine Reader's Choice Awards...
In our upcoming release of the eXpressApp Framework, data validation occurs immediately after input focus changes when validation rule evaluation does not require querying additional data from the server. These rules are RuleRequiredField,RuleRegularExpression, RuleStringComparison, RuleValueComparison and RuleRange.
In-place validation is enabled for the Save context by default. To enable it for other contexts, use the AllowInplaceValidation property of the Validation | Contexts | Context node in the Model Editor.
Since rule evaluation occurs on the client side, in-place validation does not occur when:
In-place validation engine relies on Controllers provided in our platform-specific ValidationWindowsFormsModule and ValidationAspNetModule components.
Note: The ASP.NET module was introduced in v15.2. In order to use in-place validation after upgrading your existing ASP.NET applications to v15.2, be certain to add this module from the Toolbox into the Application Designer.
The XAF Team would love your feedback. Please tell us what you think of these new features.
Hello Dennis,
This is great! Is the 'asterisk (*) symbol' optional? I'd rather have some sort of conditional formatting on required fields.
I'll be blunt. I hate the automatic asterisk on RuleRequiredFields. Should be optional, and disabled by default.
I prefer a bold label instead of an asterisk added to the label…
Hi Dennis,
Love the client-side validation, it will make our applications look more professional.
However, when it comes to the asterisk I'd prefer if we had an option to switch it off at will. Reason being that we already implemented similar behavior ourselves(our users requested italic text style for labels of the required fields). As Alexandre Miller already mentioned, some conditional formatting would be a neater solution. Also, does it take 'TargetCriteria' into consideration?
Thanks and keep up the good work
Thanks for your comments, guys. Sure, you can easily remove the required field mark from the layout label by setting the string RequiredFieldMark property under the Options | LayoutManagerOptions node in the Model Editor.
As for styling such labels (bold, italic) or even highlighting the editors themselves, we appreciate your feedback and will take it into account.
@Vincent: The TargetCriteria parameter is not currently considered and this mark is always displayed in the layout. We will take your request into account as well.
this is a great enhancement to the validation system. Like others, we have our own styling for required fields (red labels).
May I suggest to have the same flags that we see in the ConditionalAppearance module for the RequiredFieldMark (FontColor, FontStyle, BackColor)?
@Gerhard: Thanks for your suggestion!
to post comments.

Information and Communication Technology
From EdFutures
ICT is short for Information and Communication Technology. Historically ICT has been used to refer to: a subject in the English National Curriculum (which has now been replaced by a subject called Computing), the use of digital technology to enhance teaching and learning across the curriculum (which we now refer to as 'Pedagogical use of ICT' or PICT), and the digital technology itself (which is how we are now using the term). Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is the name of a subject, which in England is seen as consisting of three strands: Digital Literacy, IT, and Computer Science.

Link building is a very important feature of SEO. It could be used as a very effective off- page SEO technique. With link building, the aim is to develop quality links in other sites and places that point people back to your site. Links to your page from quality highly ranked sites help improve your own site's ranking and that is why link building should be given the serious consideration that it deserves. There are a number of methods to actually do these successfully, but here are some advanced link building ideas:
- Quality content
- Submit articles to article sites (i.e, ezinearticles.com, Goarticles.com, etc)
- Write a well written press release and submit to some bloggers and press sites.
- Make use of industry news sites, submit articles to them.
- Answer questions in Google or Yahoo questions and provide your link
- Submit articles or open a company page in sites like Wikipedia and Craiglist.
- Review products in review sites and drop your links there.
- Submit links in forums.
- Open and maintain a blog with quality articles and your links.
These are just a few of possible link building ideas, but they are very effective if done properly. Quality content with useful information and no grammatical errors would always impress readers who would not only return, but also tell others. So whenever you do drop content always make sure that it tells well of you and your business.
Article sites like Ezinearticles and Goarticles are free to use but rank highly among search engines and so offer a very good opportunity to expose your links.
Google and Yahoo questions are used by many. When you take time to speak as a professional and answer people's questions, they see you as an authority and would likely follow your suggestive links.
Review sites and forums rank high among consumers and customers, so use it to your advantage. A blog is also a very useful feature. Blogs are loved by search engine spiders. Post regularly and make sure your content is of very high quality. If you solve the reader's problem or entertain him, he would seek you out through your link.
Any other ideas you want to share? Share it here. Until next time, happy freeSEOing!

By Ed Willes – The Province
Stan Smyl arrived before the appointed hour and was taking in the sights and sounds in Kowloon when he saw his old friend wading through the crowd.
He was older, to be sure, but the frame, the presence, were unmistakable. The setting? That was a little different, but the man Smyl had known for over 40 years had always wanted to find his place in the game.
He just found it in another world. Literally.
"It was Bubba," said Smyl, the Canucks' director of player development.
And Barry Beck was home.
Beck, the legendary defenceman of a bygone era in the NHL, has spent the last decade in Hong Kong, where he's become the driving force behind the Hong Kong Academy of Ice Hockey and, by extension, the nascent hockey program in the Chinese territory. Starting with 10 registered players in the metropolis of seven million, the academy has grown to more than 500 players with age-group programs ranging from five- and six-year-olds to high school teams and, ta-da, the Hong Kong national team that competes in Division III at the IIHF world championship.
Beck has since stepped down as the national team head coach, but last spring he took them to the world championship in, of course, Istanbul, where they finished fifth in their six-team pool, largely because Georgia was disqualified for an eligibility transgression.
He's also retired from the full-contact men's league — please consider the image of the former blue-line terror playing in a Hong Kong recreation league — because a) his body couldn't take the grind, b) he has five stints in his heart and c) he was suspended "a couple of times."
"My office told me maybe it was time to quit," Beck says in a phone conversation from Hong Kong. "I think they were doing me a favour."
He continues.
"I went through different stages in my life, but to me it was all growing experiences to take me where I am now. It was a different era (in his playing days) and a lot of things were around. But they never altered my decision-making.
"I'm still competitive and I get to coach kids in a competitive environment. I think we're building something here and I always think of Ernie (McLean, who coached Beck and Smyl on the fabled New Westminster Bruins team of the late '70s). He did so much for us as players and men, I try to use the same things he taught us."
Beck was brought to Hong Kong 10 years ago through a Vancouver connection with Thomas Wu, a local businessman who was interested in starting the academy. His position has since taken him all over Asia, including the Chinese hockey hot-bed in Harbin, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. He's also travelled to Russia, the Czech Republic and taken the national team to Luxembourg. This summer he's taking a group from the academy to Boston University, where they'll rub elbows with the 40 or so NHLers who train at BU.
"I think about it," Beck says of his long-strange trip. "Growing up in Vancouver, I mean I'd go to Chinatown, but I went to Templeton high school and I never thought of Asia as a destination.
"To me, this has been more of a spiritual journey."
Still, that journey has placed Beck at a critical moment in the game's development in Asia. The Winter Olympics are set for South Korea in 2018, where former NHL defenceman Jim Paek has helped build a competitive program, and Beijing for 2022.
The Canucks and the Los Angeles Kings are scheduled to hold training camps in Beijing this fall and play a couple of exhibition games in Beijing and Shanghai, where the Anschutz Entertainment Group owns the Mercedes-Benz Arena. AEG owns the Kings and Beck has talked to his old Kings teammate Luc Robitaille, now the Kings' president of business operations, about growing the game in China. The Boston Bruins are also running youth programs in Beijing. The Islanders and their owner, Charles Wang, are involved in Harbin. Then there's the Canucks' connection.
"The hockey world is changing," Beck said.
And he's changed with it.
If you're unfamiliar with Beck, the player, think of a cross between Scott Stevens and Brent Burns and you'd be close. In his rookie year with the Colorado Rockies, Beck scored 22 goals. Two years later, he was traded to New York for five players and would be named the Rangers' captain during the height of their rivalry with the Isles
Sadly, Beck could never stay healthy enough to fulfil his limitless promise. The temptations of Manhattan also distracted him from his purpose and the hockey world never really saw the best of Beck.
"When he was traded to the Rangers I thought, 'Oh, oh,' " Smyl said, before adding. "I know everyone goes through hard times and goes through different phases in their lives, but I'm so happy he's found himself. He absolutely loves it there. He's at peace with everything and he's making a difference. He's always been a friend."
And always will be, even if he's a world away.

Squalor: Paul
I usually love when Simon Pegg and Nick Frost join forces. The previous entries in their collaborations (
Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead,
and UK television series
) have been smartly executed, surprisingly sophisticated genre send-ups loaded with all the right pop cultural references and never skimping on comedic flair. I'd forgotten, however, that that duo is a trio. This time, director/writer Edgar Wright has been subbed out for
director Greg Mottola. I'm sorry to tell you this, but apparently, without Edgar Wright, the duo falls pretty flat.
is just alright. Which, by the standards in place, means it's something of a miserable failure. There are just too many elements, too many co-stars, too many sophomoric moments that would be more at place in a slapstick film aimed at 13-year olds. In fact, in many ways,
comes dangerously close to a sort of science fiction variation on the live action/CGI blending
Alvin and the Chipmunks-
type kiddie flick. It's
if the Chipmunks dropped the f-bomb quite a bit, smoked some weed, and made constant dick jokes. So: in some ways, it's an R-rated comedy that really would be best enjoyed by someone who doesn't enjoy
Hannah Montana
ironically. A far cry from
Hot Fuzz
, where cartoonish action antics were appropriated in a manner that kept them dark and quite adult.
The premise of
is a stretch littered with pop cultural allusions and occasionally clever moments. Pegg and Frost star as Graeme and Clive, a set of British comic book geeks who follow their stateside visit to San Diego's Comic Con with a roadtrip through the paranormal sites of Southwestern America. Along the way, they pick up Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen), an smart mouthed alien on the lam from government agents who needs their help to finalize plans for his grand escape back to his home planet. Paul's been stuck here for decades, and his backstory allows for some of the film's slickest moments. We're given some great reasoning for Paul's generic appearance, as well as the impact he's had on pop sci-fi. There's a small gem of a scene, for instance, in which Paul, in his confines at Area 51, is shown on the phone serving as a creative consultant for Steven Spielberg during the production of
. Another satisfying moment has Paul taking down a Jesus Freak with his extensive knowledge of the universe. These little pieces, and Paul himself, work well enough. Rogen's voice is a decent match for our laid back extraterrestrial hero. He's an alien more American than his hosts, and the irony isn't lost on the audience. The problem, however, and the places where the film really just falls flat, lies in that interaction between CGI and live action.
There are a surplus of moments where Paul speaks or does some fancy alien trick, and we're shown these reactionary expressions by the actors that just seem completely after the fact.
is plagued by this disconnect. Pegg and Frost aren't the only ones to blame; Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, and Jason Bateman are all granted these moments of inescapable falsehood. As a result, the actors are just plain awkward, frequently given to overacting which (no matter how good the CGI is) contributes to this constant inability to suspend disbelief.
just never really feels natural. From the jokes, to the relationships, to the pacing; it can't quite seem to find its stride. It's always forced, always an effort, and thus exhausting. There's so much potential here, and a fair amount of it is squandered in favor of character likability, faux-development, and forward motion. It may be a road movie, but I really wished it would just slow the hell down and fix up the half-baked connections between its characters.
s a decent distraction if you're searching for a no-brainer, but marks a sharp decline in the Pegg/Frost collaborative send-ups. Honestly: for sci-fi comedies: try
Galaxy Quest.

The U.S. Has Finally Recovered All Jobs Lost in Recession
The U.S. economy added 217,000 jobs in May, according to a report Friday from the Bureau of Labor. That number on its own might not seem particularly notable as it lined up pretty well with economists' estimates.
However, the latest report marked a milestone for the economy: there are now more jobs in the country than there were at the peak in early 2008, just before the recession took hold.
There were 138.463 million jobs in the country last month, narrowly topping the 138.365 million jobs in the economy at the peak in January, 2008.
We did it! In May 2014, the US finally recovered all the jobs lost during the Great Recession. pic.twitter.com/eSRtYVQb7U
— Matt Phillips (@MatthewPhillips) June 6, 2014
All in all, it took the U.S. economy nearly five years of recovery to return to that level. That marks the longest rebound from any recession since World War II, as you can see in this chart from Calculated Risk.
That said, the U.S. economy is still millions of jobs short of what it would have had if the recession had never happened and what it would need to accommodate population growth. There are also still more than 3 million people who have been unemployed for six months or longer.
We're back to the number of jobs we had before the recession, but we should have 7 million more. #nfp #jobsday pic.twitter.com/5cIUh2hmDY

House Intel Committee to access Justice Department documents regarding Russia probe this week.
Trey Gowdy went on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo, firing at Democrats for prejudging the investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Kremlin
Gowdy noted that nearly 60 party members have already called for Trump's impeachment…
"Almost 60 Democrats voted to move forward with impeachment. Already. Before Bob Mueller's released a single finding. Before the House Intelligence or Senate Intelligence Committees have released a single, solitary finding, almost 60 House Democrats think the president ought to be removed from office."
Bartiromo jumped in, "That is infuriating."
"Well, it's only infuriating if you have high expectations," Gowdy replied.
Via The Daily Caller…
South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy tore into California Rep. Adam Schiff on Sunday, alleging that the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee is angling for a U.S. Senate seat by making dramatic statements about the Trump-Russia investigation.
"Some of my Democratic colleagues, namely Adam Schiff, said he had evidence, more than circumstantial evidence of collusion, before the investigation even began," Gowdy said in an interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo.
"[Congress] is not where serious investigations take place. It is where Senate campaigns in California take place, but it's not where serious investigations take place," he added, referring to Schiff, whose name has been floated as a possible replacement to California Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Schiff has claimed to have seen "more than circumstantial" evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians during the 2016 campaign. But when pressed on what evidence he has seen, Schiff often cites evidence that has already been reported in the press.

Here Is Why You Must Let the Professionals Handle Water Damage
Water damage is indeed a very bad experience for home owners whether it is caused by a broken pipe, rain or even a hurricane. Some home owners think the process of water damage restoration is in their hands.
Removing the water completely as well as drying the affected area is the idea of water clean up to many of us. However, there is more to it. The amount of details and techniques used by professionals to fix water damage are unknown to us.
What happens when you let a professional handle the water damage?
- The first things they do are to examine the seriousness of the damage. Finding the origin of the damage is not the only step because water lines leakage may also occur from inside the walls. If this is unidentified, even fixing the current issue at hand will not fix your problem for the greater good
- Implement preventive measure against the buildup of mold and bacteria
- In case, it is identified as contaminated water, it brings a foul smell and lot of harmful contaminants along with it. Water damage professionals disinfect the house and deodorize it
- They use vacuums and blowers to suck out wetness from the walls extracting all the moisture and leaving it dry
- Usage of high end equipment detects hidden areas to be treated
Breakage of water line or kitchen sink lines causes clean water damage. This water damage is the safest because it does not contain any harmful impurities. However, if left untreated for more than 48 hours, this can cause mold and bacteria.
Grey water or water from toilet pipes containing urine is harmful. This water damage needs to be treated within a few hours otherwise the damage will worsen. Water breakage from sewage pipes causes the most dangerous water damage. This water makes everything unusable that comes in contact with it.
Black water damage requires extensive water damage control because it is harmful and does not make anyone safe to live around. Understanding the importance of hiring a professional during water damage helps you take a decisive action for long term. Water Damage Company like Dryout Pro Plus offer quality service with quick response to your issue
You do not have to worry about facing this issue in the middle of the night because they operate round the clock. Whether you choose to do this on your own or consider the help of an expert, you are bound to be aware of the risks involved if water damage restoration is not performed properly.

I used to envy the hermit crab. Not only does he live at the beach, but he also carries around a hard protective shell. No matter where he goes, he takes his house with him. Us Expats, we uproot our lives, our families, and our sense of order. So the idea of bringing our house, that provides such protection, along with us is pretty appealing.
My parents are moving out of my childhood home this weekend. They have lived here for almost 38 years, moving in when my mom was heavy with her first child, my sister. Moving out just a year and a half after that same sister gave birth to a third child of her own.
My mom always wanted our big old house to be not just a big old empty house, but a gathering place for family and friends. And though she often lamented how rarely we actually used the whole house, I'd say that she and my dad certainly made it a home.
My parents raised two daughters in this house. They grew a marriage in this house. They loved and fought, hurt and healed in this house. They nurtured ailing grandparents back to health and ailing cousins back to smiles. They hosted my grandparents' 40th anniversary, my aunt's backyard wedding, elementary, middle and high school graduation celebrations, work picnics, string quartets, workshops – all in this house.
My mom spent hours in the basement the night before birthday parties weaving intricate spider webs from yarn with a specially picked prize for each child at the end. My Dad spent hours in the basement helping us to construct elaborate school projects and science fair exhibits (we even got to use the blow torch)! The basement has served as playroom, classroom, workroom, and storage. We bobbed for apples in this basement. Played school with the giant chalkboard. Created castles out of oversized boxes. Constructed towns out of blocks. Wrote plays, performed plays, and argued over plays in this basement.
Together, as a family, we watched the passing of the seasons – tromping thru snowdrifts, leaping into leaf piles, skipping thru sprinklers, and stomping in the rain. I learned to throw and catch a ball on the garage rooftop while my sister perfected her tumbling thru the freshly mowed grass. We carved giant pumpkins in the driveway, built birdhouses in the basement, planted vegetables in the garden, and made forts below the swing-set.
We dyed Easter eggs, lit menorahs, decorated Christmas trees, and searched for afikomans. I was a witch, a hippie, a gypsy, and Smurfette. My sister was a clown, a cheerleader, and a Bounty Paper Towel Roll (no kidding – see slideshow).
I broke my first bone in this house. Met my first friends at this house. Kissed my first love near this house. I argued over piano practice, while my sister dutifully whispered tunes from her flute in this house. We studied multiplication tables and languages, literature and history. We returned from overnight camp and college to this house.
I equally feared and found comfort in the familiar creaks and groans of this house, running quickly down to the basement, up to the attic and past the closed guest bedroom door. Planning hiding places and plotting escapes, packing bags to run away. While my mom found quiet on the back porch, my dad retreated to his office and my sister found peace in her room, I lazed on the plush deep red carpet that ran the length of the house, lingering between the need for solitude and companionship.
We battled with ourselves, with each other, with our friends in this house. We ached and cried and hurt in this house. We buried pets and flushed fish. My dad fought tumors – my mom nursed him back. My mom hurt her back. My dad held her up. We said farewell to neighbors and welcomed new families.
My sister and I used to joke that we hoped we would never have to help our parents move out of this house. There would be 40 years of stuff to sort through. But as we approach that final meal, that final sleep, and that final turn of the key, I realize that it's not the stuff that we're sorting, but the memories. And though it's sad and even a little painful to say goodbye to a house that's been so good to us for so long, I'm pretty sure that we're bringing home wherever we go.
I used to envy the hermit crab for his ability to carry his house wherever he went. But that must get pretty heavy over time. For what it's worth, if given the choice, I'd choose to carry the home and leave the house behind.

Thanks to an invite from Brother Singapore, I recently had the chance to have a crafty morning along with other mom bloggers at Brother's office where we got to try out some of Brother's products. These products included the Hello Kitty Embroidery and Sewing machine, Hello Kitty Labeller and the ScanNCut.
Yes, I was transported to Hello Kitty land that morning! Besides trying out Brother's different craft products, we had a hands-on experience of decorating our own pouch with iron-on crystals and embroidered Hello Kitty patches that were pre-embroidered using the Brother Hello Kitty sewing machine.
If you're into sewing and are a huge Hello Kitty fan like myself, you'll love the Hello Kitty Embroidery and Sewing machine. The machine comes with 196 embroidery patterns, 54 built-in Hello Kitty embroidery patterns and 129 utility and decoration stitches.
See those embroidery patterns above? You can do all that with the machine and you really don't have
to do much other than choose your thread colour, thread the needle and then choose your patterns. Using the LCD touch screen, you can adjust the size and angle of the patterns and choose from 6 alphabet sets if you wish to sew on names or words .
If you have a pattern or a logo that you want to sew on, you can save the image in a thumbdrive and insert it into the USB port located on the side of the sewing machine! Maybe I've been living in a cave and never knew much about sewing machines, but seriously I found this machine pretty high-tech! I've always wanted to sew a quilt for Kaitlin and future kids but I'm horrible at sewing so this kind of was the perfect answer to my problem..so one day when I'm ready to get down to quilting..this, this shall be my best friend at home!
For the scrapbookers and crafters, Brother's ScanNCut machine is probably your dream come true! I'm not familiar with the machines out in the market that have similar functions to Brother's ScanNCut but on its own and without comparing, I think that the ScanNCut is a really good investment if you're into crafting. In fact, I think it's also useful for moms who homeschool or for teachers to prepare materials for their students as the machine can cut paper or fabric without users having to use scissors or craft knives at all.
The ScanNCut does literally what it's name says - scan and cut. User can scan printed designs, patterns, images or hand-drawn illustrations, convert them to cutting lines and save the data in their USB memory. You can also cut out or remove the patterns around images as well. This means that it's possible to cut anything from complex shapes to alphabets/letters to even lace patterns! The machine also enables users to adjust the size of the outlines and make multiple copies of the patterns/images they wish to cut. Aside from being able to cut out your own patterns and images, the machine also comes with over 500 built-in patterns. The cut-outs above was a shape from the built-in selection and was cut out of felt. It took less than 5 minutes to cut those out and the cutting was so precise!
Saving the best for last...is the Hello Kitty Labeller. This is my favourite machine out of all that was introduced to us that morning!
The Hello Kitty Labeller comes with:
- 15 character LCD display
- 97 frames including 22 Hello Kitty frames
- 652 symbols including 34 Hello Kitty symbols|
- 8 Alpha and 6 Numeric built-in fonts
- 12 Deco mode designs
Priced at $88, the Hello Kitty labeller can print labels with 2 lines and users can choose from a variety of Brother TZe tapes with a width of 3.5-12mm to use. Brother's iron-on fabric tapes that are great for labelling uniforms can also be used and there's a tape with a Hello Kitty watermark background that can be purchased as well at only $27.50. All of Brother's TZe tapes are laminated and temperature and water resistant. This means that you can print out labels to use on food containers that you want to freeze or heat up! The labels are also abrasion, chemical and fade resistant, so there's no need to worry that you'll have to print new labels.
The Hello Kitty labeller is perfect for use at home to label and organise your boxes and containers, for school use for your child's items like pencil cases, books, lunchboxes and uniforms or even for crafting purposes when you want to label gift bags.
Kids are seriously so lucky these days! I wished they had this labeller when I was a kid so that I could have all my items labelled with Hello Kitty frames and symbols..but well better now than not at all. Yes, by now you can probably tell I'm a Hello Kitty fan so if you're one too or you've a Hello Kitty fan at home and need a labeller this one's perfect! Not just pretty to look at but also functional and useful. More reasons to convince you other halves if you intend to purchase this labeller :D
If you're already convinced to buy it, there's great news and if you're still deciding, you may want to get one now! From now till 27 September 2015, Brother's holding a sure win lucky spin where you can win prizes including Hello Kitty items like a Instax camera, home appliances and kitchen ware.
All you have to do is:

On Monday evening, security cameras captured hilarious footage of a crafty and determined Great Pyrenees dog, named General, navigating his way out of the Aquia-Garrisonville Animal Hospital in Stafford, Virginia like a canine version of Andy Dufresne from the Shawshank Redemption.
"The 10-year-old fluffball was staying at the hospital while his family were on holiday. An administrator for the hospital said General was found around 7:30 p.m. Monday. He was apparently resting in the yard of a neighbor."

Mapping Content Delivery
Now that you have had an overview of the types of content you can create to share information, it is time to create a content map of your P.I. Machine.
Using your Content Road Map and Wagon Wheel developed in Module One, you will need to determine the best method to share your content. You may settle on one method for all your lessons, which is fine. That creates a consistency students will appreciate.
As you saw in the examples provided in the last lesson, there is no right or wrong here. You decide the best method of delivering the information in a way that will help your students succeed.
For the P.I. Machine, I used multiple styles of content delivery so people could see examples. I knew on-camera was important for some subjects. For others, screen captures were needed to show exactly what I was doing.
Now is the time to take everything you've seen and put it to work. Decide what you need to create, and I'll give you some tips on moving forward in the next lesson.

PSC Featured in Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
PITTSBURGH, April 4, 2011 — The Sunday, April 3 issue of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette includes a full-page editorial article by the three people who co-authored the proposal that led the National Science Foundation to fund the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center 25 years ago.
The OpEd, by PSC's scientific directors Michael Levine and Ralph Roskies and PSC director of special projects James Kasdorf, is aimed at non-scientist readers. It outlines what's meant by "supercomputing" and discusses some of PSC's accomplishments.

I just love how crafters inspire each other. I got the idea for this project from Trina Struckman from one of the papercraft groups I'm in on Facebook. She made a gorgeous version of the Weihnachtsglocke (Christmas Bell) from Sunshine Hobby Works. When I saw her post, I didn't see the bells – I saw something completely different.
Do you remember the 1994 movie Stargate? I think it inspired a TV-series among other stuff? Anyways….it's about this ancient ring-shaped device that creates a wormhole enabling travel to a similar device elsewhere in the universe. Now THAT was what I saw 😀
I made this from Granite AC Cardstock, grey Pearl cardstock and some glitter paper in Black. I used glow-in-the-dark vinyl for the signs and gold vinyl for the arrows.
Inside I added two rows of LED strips for light.
It was so much fun to make and all I really did was leaving out the bells.
It looks cool in the dark too 🙂
I think it will be a hit next weekend when my son has kids from his class over for a Birthday party since he requested a space/Halloween theme 😀
Thanks for stopping by and please let me know what you think of my wacky idea 😀
