Ivory Beaded Lace – Victoria
Three different Floral Motifs make up this extremely elaborate design. The three motifs contain a single flower motif; a 2 flower motif and a 4 flower motif. The flowers are corded and feature an embroidered ground with sequins and beads being used to great effect. A single silver filigree thread is used to edge buds and stems.
The identical borders are 10" in depth and are scallop edged. The width of the lace is 52".
The border consists of a cluster of flowers which are corded. Embroidery is used to create a shading effect whilst beads and sequins are prominent on all flowers. Silver filigree thread is used sparingly. The scallop edge is formed by a series of tight zig zags.
A very extravagant glitzy Hollywood style design, Victoria Lace is also available in White or in our range of colours. We also now offer the motifs in ivory as appliques in a choice of sizes and a matching lace edging in ivory
Please look through the different photos of the lace to see a full width version to show the scale of the pattern.

10 Of The Most Irritating Things In Your Life
Every single person on this planet faces good and bad experiences on a near daily basis, but sometimes we deal with objects or people that are just far too irritating. We're unwilling to fight with those objects, but we tend to anyway, despite our current mood. It is human nature to grow irritated at certain aspects of life, but a lot of things cause such annoyance these days – especially pieces of technology. Try to avoid these things in your life and you will probably be a bit happier overall. Here are ten of the most irritating things in your life.
Morning Alarms
Everyone enjoys getting a bit of sleep, but no one enjoys when the morning alarm begins blaring in their ear. It is dreadfully annoying and jarring to wake up to.
Mosquitoes are one of the most prevelent pests in the entire world. They are too small to truly hunt down with ease, but their bite is problematic and irritating.

Civilization IV rocks
I bought Julia Civilization IV for Christmas. It's something I wanted myself but my computer only just reaches the minimum specs. But we installed it anyway and on the lowest settings it does run (although it runs "fine" it's really unstable after about half an hour and prone to crashing). If you don't know, Civilization is a game where you control a civilization from ancient stone age times through to the near future (the last technology you develop allows travel to Alpha Centauri). This version adds a lot to the basic idea though. The biggest addition is religion. It was always going to be a touchy subject but since religion has had a huge impact on Civilization they couldn't ignore it forever. All the religions in the game are basically handled the same, the only differences being what you need to do to found them. The fact that you can found them can cause events that are vaguely blasphemous (Like founding both Buddhism and Christianity in London) but this is really no worse than warfare between two countries that never fought each other in the real world. I can't really describe all the coolness here but anyone remotely interested in the genre should go out and buy this game. Civ, Civilization, Civilization 4, RTS, games, video games, computer games, strategy games, Sid Meier

Topic: Adding decals to an model (Read 11211 times)
Hello everyone. I'm just thinking out loud here... as this may very well be impossible currently. So here is my question: Is there a way to quickly stamp image (decal) that has PBR data and have that data apply through all channels of the texture sheet/model?
Hopefully that make sense: so here is the reason behind the question (might make more sense). I have dozens and dozens of ISS panels to model, unwrap and texture. Needless to say there are a lot of common things like shaders, materials, and decals shared across all assets. Sharing materials between models is easy, painter does that very well. And adding details like labels, paint, and mission stickers adds a huge amount of realism to the panels as you can see in the first attachment.
The focus of my question isn't how to do it; I know that photoshop is up to the task. But importing all PBR exported textures from painter into photoshop only to re-export it again is very labor intensive. It feels like an unnecessary second step, and inefficient. So the thought goes, why can't I get this done in painter?. Especially if the client modifies the color in substance or worse: the location of decals. Then photoshop files quickly become such a mess that sometimes it's easier to just rebuild it from scratch. And again, DOZENS of models here. So I'm trying to streamline by keeping it all to painter.
So coming in for the finish line: if I crafted a set of common stickers that had PBR data, is there a way to stamp them on stencil-style across a texture sheet and have the data move across all channels?
Any suggestions welcome!

Yes, you can create a material from your sticker, by selecting any premade material and replacing the slots for each channel with your sticker data, then right click in an empty part of the material parameters area > Save Material.
Then select the projection tool and your sticker material, and you should be good to go.
Controls for the projection are S+mouse buttons to scale, rotate and pan the sticker.
You can switch the view to orthographic and use Shift while rotating the view to snap to 90 degrees angles for better precision.

That's great! Is there a tutorial that goes over something like that? What would I search for? Do I need designer to do that or is painter enough?

Mizzou suffers crushing 31-13 loss to South Carolina
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- At some point, opponents are going to stop kicking to South Carolina's Deebo Samuel. Until then, the Gamecocks will gladly take all the game-changing returns they can get from the all-purpose star.
For the second straight week, Samuel returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown, helping South Carolina erase an early deficit and beat Missouri 31-13 on Saturday night in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.
"The kickoff return, again, was huge for us," South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said. "A huge momentum swing in the game."
Missouri (1-1, 0-1) took a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter when Drew Lock connected with tight end Jason Reese on a 61-yard touchdown pass. Missouri coach Barry Odom thought Tucker McCann, who usually is capable of knocking kickoffs well into the end zone, would deliver his third touchback of the night. Instead, the ball landed in Samuel's hands on the 3-yard line.
He needed to break only one tackle and dodge McCann on his way to a touchdown.
"I've been telling Coach, 'Whenever you give me the ball, I'll try to put it in the end zone,' " Samuel said.
He wasn't done. South Carolina's Jamyest Williams intercepted a pass on Missouri's next play from scrimmage, giving the Gamecocks (2-0, 1-0) the ball on Missouri's 25-yard line. On first down, Samuel, a junior wide receiver, took a handoff on a jet sweep and sprinted into the end zone for his second score in 15 seconds.
"No. 1 is a special guy when he gets the ball in his hands," South Carolina wide receiver Bryan Edwards said.
Last week, Samuel returned the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown in a 35-28 victory over North Carolina State and also grabbed a 39-yard touchdown reception.
"He just picks us up," South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley said of Samuel. "When we're struggling on offense, we have a slow start, need a spark for our team, he's that guy."
Against the Tigers, his scoring outburst changed the direction of the game for good. South Carolina expanded its 14-10 halftime lead with a dominant second half.
"Our margin of error is absolutely zero," Missouri coach Barry Odom said. "If we don't win the turnover margin and we play horrific on special teams, we won't have a chance."
Bentley completed 18 of 28 passes for 187 yards and one touchdown. Samuel had five catches for 45 yards. Tight end Hayden Hurst also had a productive night, catching a 39-yard touchdown pass and rushing for a 2-yard touchdown. Ty'Son Williams led the way on the ground, rushing 14 times for 78 yards.
The Gamecocks held Missouri's offense in check one week after the Tigers broke multiple school records in a 72-43 victory over FCS opponent Missouri State.
Lock completed 14 of 32 passes for 245 yards, with two interceptions. The Tigers rushed 37 times for 178 yards, but their drives stalled in the red zone. They settled for two McCann field goals, and a third attempt was blocked by Javon Kinlaw.
The Missouri wide receiver tandem of J'Mon Moore and Johnathon Johnson, who each surpassed 100 yards receiving last week, had minimal impact. Moore had three catches for 29 yards and dropped two passes. Johnson had no receptions -- he dropped a pass in the end zone late in the fourth quarter -- and muffed his only punt-return attempt.
The Gamecocks, who won only one road game last year in compiling a 6-7 record, have now won two games away from home this season. South Carolina's next two games are at home.
"Really proud of our guys," Muschamp said. "We didn't play particularly well on the road last year. That's something we really emphasized going into this year and understanding that we've gotta win some games on the road to accomplish what you want to accomplish."
South Carolina: For the second straight week, the Gamecocks won a game in which they were outgained from scrimmage. Missouri outgained South Carolina 423-359, but the Gamecocks were plus-three in turnovers and had Samuel's big kickoff return.
Missouri: Running back Damarea Crockett was having a big night until he jogged off the field with an injury in the third quarter and did not return. Odom said Crockett has a bruised tailbone but should be available next week. He finished with 18 carries for 97 yards.
SURPRISE RUNNER: Hurst surprised Missouri's defense, and maybe himself, when he took a handoff on a sweep and shrugged off a tackle on his way to a two-yard touchdown run.
"That's probably the first time I've run a football since Pop Warner, so I was licking my chops a little bit," said Hurst, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound tight end.
South Carolina: The Gamecocks will face another SEC East opponent when Kentucky visits on Saturday.
Missouri: The Tigers face Purdue at home Saturday. Odom said Crockett suffered a bruised tailbone and should be available.

Mapungubwe Belongs to all of Us
Abraham Ramonwana, head guide at Tuli Safari Lodge says: "if a mine develops in South Africa, it's also going to affect Botswana and Zimbabwe".The authorisation given to an Australian company called Coal of Africa Limited (CoAL) to construct an open-cast coal mine, called the Vele Colliery, just outside of the boundaries of the Mapungubwe National Park will affect this fragile natural harmony. To Abraham, «mining and industry is a short term plan, tourism is a long-term plan.»Abraham, like many others, believes that the Mapungubwe region should be preserved and protected from the impacts of infrastructural development, and allowed to remain pristine for generations to come.Mapungubwe National Park and World Heritage Site is managed by South African National Parks (SANParks) and its partners. The Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area is being developed based on the stipulations of a Memorandum of Understanding between Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe that was signed on 22 June 2006. These are officially mandated programmes in which the South African government, the province and private sector have invested. With the official opening of the Mapungubwe National Park on 24 September 2004, the first of three national objectives for the region was reached. The other two objectives were the area's listing as a World Heritage Site, which happened in 2003, and the establishment of a Transfrontier Conservation Area (TFCA).TFCAs promote conservation and the sustainable use of biological and cultural resources, while also furthering goals of regional peace, co-operation and socio-economic development. Both Transfrontier Parks and Transfrontier Conservation Areas aim to provide jobs and opportunities for revenue generation to local people. By so improving the lives of rural communities it is hoped that they will in turn contribute to biodiversity conservation and demonstrate the economic and social advantages that can be achieved through conservation. This vision of cross-border collaboration realises the Southern African Development Community's objective of promoting synergy for economic, social and conservation benefit over the subcontinent.TFCAs contribute to the broader aims of trans-boundary ecosystem management, integration of conservation with development, promotion of regional cooperation and socio-economic development on the southern African sub-continent, while also forming an important part of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD).The Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area has become recognised as the 'cultural TFCA'. Visitors flock to the area not only to see the magnificent sandstone formations, the wide variety of trees – notably the enormous baobab – and game and birdlife, but also to experience a kinship with past generations. The cultural resources of the Limpopo-Shashe basin are associated with Iron Age settlements of around 1200 AD. The similarity of ivory objects, pottery remains and imported glass beads excavated at different sites spread across the modern international borders of Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe, attests to the cultural affinity of the people that lived in the Limpopo-Shashe basin during the Iron Age.The Mapungubwe World Heritage Site is a major attraction in the 30 000 ha park and was home to the famous Golden Rhino, a symbol of the power of the King of the Mapungubwe people who inhabited the Limpopo River Valley between 900 AD and 1300 AD. At that time Mapungubwe had developed into the largest kingdom on the subcontinent. It is believed that a highly sophisticated civilisation, which traded with Arabia, Egypt, India and China, existed at Mapungubwe.The presence of heavy industry in the Mapungubwe area will impact enormously on its tourism and conservation, to such a degree that these activities will have to be reconsidered for the future. South Africa signed a binding document whereby it agreed to be a partner in a trilateral conservation development. By allowing that same conservation area to become part of an industrial area, it is not adhering to the spirit of that agreement.

Hello Jesus, thanks for your time. The ELO difference is not exactly equal in these matches (it is not a rounding error), what is pretty equal in these matches is the significance (W-L)/sigma. Difference is a little larger for the cases of unbalanced, but error margin too, so significance (W-L)/sigma is equal in the two cases.Ajedrecista wrote:
I programmed a SPRT simulator almost three years ago and I recently added parameter estimation to fit the cumulative distribution function of the length of simulations (number of games) to a log-normal distribution, which fits reasonably well.
My simulator works in a slightly different way that the one you propose: I input alpha, beta, lower and upper bounds of SPRT (in Bayeselo units) and two parameters: expected Elo gain (in Bayeselo units, but there is a known relationship of conversion) and drawelo (which is related to the draw ratio).
So, the overall input is summarized in prob.(A wins), prob.(B wins) and prob.(draw) = 1 - prob.(A wins) - prob.(B wins); instead of prob.(A wins with white), prob.(A wins with black), prob.(B wins with white), prob.(B wins with black), prob.(draw of A-B) = 1 - prob.(A wins with white) - prob.(B wins with black), prob.(draw of B-A) = 1 - prob.(A wins with black) - prob.(B wins with white).
I see that your scores with balanced and unbalanced openings are not the same (µ_SF_strong = 57.5% and µ_SF_strong = 58% respectively) although it is expected due to error bars. OTOH, draw_ratio(balanced) = 58% and draw_ratio(unbalanced) = 52%. More draws usually translate into a larger average value in the number of games.
I need to do changes because my usual way to proceed is game after game with the same set of probabilities, not round after round (A-B, B-A and repeat) with two sets of probabilities.
First of all, averaging white and black probabilities (I know that you do not want this, but it is to get a rough idea):
I input these values into a SPRT tool by Michel van den Bergh that gives theoretical results (not simulations). I have the following doubt: I suppose that H0 and H1 have the meaning of a SPRT(H0, H1) test, but... [H0] = [H1] are Bayeselo or logistic Elo? There is a conversion formula between Bayeselo and logistic Elo that works for small numbers (let us say |value| < 10 Bayeselo for example), but I am not so sure about larger values. Anyway:
Code: Select all
bayeselo = 200*log10{W*(1 - L)/[L*(1 - W)]} drawelo = 200*log10[(1 - L)*(1 - W)/(L*W)] // Estimated from the sample of games. From SF_strong POV: Balanced: W = (0.30 + 0.27)/2 = 0.285 L = (0.12 + 0.15)/2 = 0.135 Elo ~ 52.5116 bayeselo ~ 81.4442 drawelo ~ 241.2287 Unbalanced: W = (0.59 + 0.05)/2 = 0.32 L = (0.02 + 0.30)/2 = 0.16 Elo ~ 56.0715 bayeselo ~ 78.5601 drawelo ~ 209.5036
'avg running time' is the average number of games. It is funny to see 'pass probability: 100.03%' in one of the outputs.
Code: Select all
x = 10^(-drawelo/400) bayeselo_to_Elo_scale = 4*x/(1 + x)² // Elo = (bayeselo_to_Elo_scale)*bayeselo. H0 = 0 Bayeselo = 0 Elo H1? H1 = 30 Bayeselo or H1(30 Elo, drawelo ~ 241.2287) ~ 46.9406 Bayeselo or H1(30 Elo, drawelo ~ 209.5036) ~ 42.2962 Bayeselo ------------------------ C:\[...]\sprta>sprt_w32 Usage: sprta.py elo0 elo1 draw_elo elo elo0,elo1 are expressed in BayesElo elo is expressed in LogisticElo Balanced: C:\[...]\sprta>sprt_w32 0 30 241.2287 52.5116 elo0 = 0.00 elo1 = 30.00 draw_elo = 241.23 elo = 52.51 pass probability: 100.03% avg running time: 172 Unbalanced: C:\[...]\sprta>sprt_w32 0 30 209.5036 56.0715 elo0 = 0.00 elo1 = 30.00 draw_elo = 209.50 elo = 56.07 pass probability: 100.00% avg running time: 170 ************************ Balanced: C:\[...]\sprta>sprt_w32 0 46.9406 241.2287 52.5116 elo0 = 0.00 elo1 = 46.94 draw_elo = 241.23 elo = 52.51 pass probability: 99.94% avg running time: 125 Unbalanced: C:\[...]\sprta>sprt_w32 0 42.2962 209.5036 56.0715 elo0 = 0.00 elo1 = 42.30 draw_elo = 209.50 elo = 56.07 pass probability: 99.97% avg running time: 133
Please realise that avg_games(balanced) > avg_games(unbalanced) with H1 = 30 Bayeselo but the opposite with H1 = 30 Elo. It could happen due to the changing ratio (elo - H0)/(H1 - H0) (all written in the same units).
Last but not least, please remember that there is a chess SPRT online calculator with theoretical results (not simulations), based on Michel's tool if I am not wrong.
I do not run simulations in your proposed way right now because of two reasons:
a) I would like to know if you want H1 = 30 Elo (logistic Elo) or H1 = 30 Bayeselo.
b) I have not done the changes yet and I am not sure that I will have enough time and skills for make it work properly. Sorry.
So, reading b), it is unlikely that I can do what you requested though odds may change (like the great comeback of 1999 Champions League Final).
Regards from Spain.
I forgot about this mess with logistic Elo and BayesElo, take H1 as 30 BayesElo. By averaging scores White-Black, it is expected that the number of necessary games to stop would be almost equal, as it is given mostly by significance. The desired effect is about very different White/Black compared to very similar White/Black, and I think that keeping sequentially pairwise color-reversed is important. I am no sure how it is done in the simulator, but if you manage to have this pairwise separated White/Black outcomes, it would be great. I expect not a small effect of say 1% less games, I would expect in excess of 20% less games for unbalanced.
Thanks and hoping for your Great Comeback .

The Cascada has been introduced back in 2015 as Buick's first convertible in quite some time. However, despite wearing the Buick badge, the Cascada is nothing more than just an Opel Astra with a slightly different badge added to it. The car is actually based on the older Astra J and not on the latest model so it is missing some features. It seems that a new model will be released with the 2018 Buick Cascada Convertible Concept in order to solve most of the issues found on the current generation. This time around though things might get a bit more interesting.
Well, for starters, the upcoming Cascada might be built from scratch in order to give the car a more upmarket feel. The ongoing version is fine but it it not as impressive as some of its rivals.
The new car will be based on a new platform and it should be bigger as well. Like before, the car will still be sold as an Opel in Europe but this time around, it will actually be designed by Buick instead of Opel.
The front wheel drive chassis will likely stay which is fine. The Cascada doesn't have to be a high speed rear wheel drive missile. Instead, it will have to be comfortable, easy to drive and beautiful.
The price is unknown at this point but rumors suggest that the base price of around $34,000 is here to stay. The release date, at least for the concept, will likely be set for the early 2018. The production car should arrive shortly after that.
How it will look
Like we said, the 2018 Buick Cascada Convertible Concept will very likely get bigger. This will be achieved with the help of GM's new modular architecture which has been seen on a few cars so far.
The design will most likely be inspired by that of the Regal which is currently one of their better selling models.
The front end should get a bit more striking to look at but the profile as well as the back will be kept a bit closer to what is currently available.
Inside the cabin
The current Cascada can be regarded as a better equipped Astra. The new one on the other hand will be everything but.
The dashboard, steering wheel and the seats arrangement is now expected to get a bit more unique.
The actual design will be closely related to that of the upcoming Regal but the materials as well as the feel provided by the car will be greatly improved.
Like before, it will only be able to house up to four adults but this time around there should be a bit more space available.
The engines
It seems that the 2018 Buick Cascada Convertible Concept will be launched with just one engine. Its production version on the other hand is expected to offer at least two different powertrains.
The base car could receive an updated 1.5 liter turbocharged inline 4 with around 200 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque. This would be very similar to the ongoing model while being a tad more efficient than before.
As a high performance offering, a 2 liter turbocharged mill with over 260 horsepower might also be released. Both engines would only be available with GM's new nine speed automatic and both of them would come as standard with front wheel drive.
An all wheel drive model, even though possible, is highly unlikely at this point. It would add too much weight and it would make the car drive worse than before.
A manual is possible, but not on the Buick version but on the European model. A hybrid has also been rumored for a while and it might be released a few years after the base model.

Todd and I started P90x3, 9 months ago on Christmas Eve. P90x3 completely changed our lives. Why did we do it? We were ashamed of how out of shape we were. We would look at pictures and wonder how we even got to that point. Every time we would get dressed, we would be tugging at our shirts trying to make them fit better. Pulling our jeans to try to stretch them out. Who can RELATE??
PARENTS of little KIDS....are you CRAZY??!! Trust us, we both get how exhausted parents can be!! Yes...when we began our journey, our son was only 8 months old, along with our daughters that were 5 and 3 years of age. Did that stop us? NO! Before I said yes, I could come up with a million excuses on why we should not start this program. BUT....We came to a point where our WHY was bigger than our EXCUSES!!
My neighbor encouraged us to join her challenge group. It was the BEST decision we ever made!!
Todd and I worked out together for 12 weeks and drank Shakeology alongside the support of our coach. We MOTIVATED and ENCOURAGED each other EVERY day. If there was a day I was tired, Todd wouldnt let me fail. We were a TEAM. As the weeks went by, our bodies were transforming. As the inches and pounds were decreasing, we were pumped to keep going. The workouts are ONLY 30 minutes a day!! There was no excuse!
As an end result, Todd LOST 21 POUNDS and 16 INCHES!! I lost 8 pounds and 12 inches!! Not only that, our marriage grew stronger than ever. We also have more energy for our kids!
We are repeating another round of P90x3 and our team is growing and growing each day! We would love to have you JOIN our TEAM. We PROMISE to MOTIVATE and SUPPORT you all the way!
We will help you reach your GOAL!!

Message me on Facebook or email me if you would like to join!
We start Oct 13th, but its never too late!

Psychotherapy and mindfulness techniques could help many women who experience depression during menopause, according to a review of existing research.
Too few studies have looked at whether cognitive therapies are good alternatives for women who can't or don't want to use pharmaceutical treatments to offset the symptoms of menopausal depression, but the handful that have done so have mostly shown positive results.
Cognitive-behavioural therapy helps patients change the way they think and feel to lead more productive lives. Behavioural therapy focuses more on modifying actions to stem self-destructive behaviour. Mindfulness meditation helps patients to better tolerate and deal with stress.
In 2013 Dr Sheryl M Green [pictured left], co-author of The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Menopause, and her colleagues searched 5,126 studies and found only two on the use of cognitive, cognitive-behavioural or mindfulness therapies for women with major depression during menopause. Both studies showed that women improved after cognitive-behavioural therapy. In the first study, half of the 169 menopausal women who had 16 sessions of individual therapy were much less depressed afterwards and 25 per cent were no longer depressed at all. Women were also much less depressed after 16 sessions of a two-hour, twice-weekly group therapy in a second study with 44 participants.
In 2014 Green's team broadened its search, including studies that looked at depression as one of several menopausal symptoms and came up with 12 more.
Women tended to feel less depressed after therapy involving education, coping skills and muscle relaxation for menopausal symptoms in several of those studies. However, an educational seminar alone didn't improve their moods. They also felt less depressed after mindfulness-based stress reduction and relaxation techniques, plus diaphragmatic breathing, according to studies on hot flashes and mood.

However, an educational seminar alone didn't improve their moods. They also felt less depressed after mindfulness-based stress reduction and relaxation techniques, plus diaphragmatic breathing, according to studies on hot flashes and mood.
However, women didn't always feel less depressed after cognitive therapies. In some cases, Green's team writes, this might be because women need programs geared toward their specific physical issues, such as hot flashes or vaginal dryness, and feelings about going through the transition.
Some of the studies in the review were small, the authors caution, and did not include enough follow-up, didn't have a comparison group or included only women who were mildly depressed. These limitations and the fact that there wasn't much research to begin with mean more is needed, the authors say. 'Even though the literature is still in its infancy with establishing cognitive-behavioural therapy as an effective treatment for menopausal symptoms, and menopausal depression more specifically, cognitive-behavioural therapy has received empirical support and high acceptability for over three decades with many mental health and physical difficulties,' Dr Green says. 'With its low-risk nature, it is something that I continue to practise with menopausal patients who cannot or choose not to take medication---with suceess.'

In this letter to the editor in the April 29, 1993 edition of The Dickinsonian, Hannah Fretz, '94, complains about the lack of coverage of Women's History Week and the Women's Studies Conference other than two photographs in a paper filled with more trivial news.
Shannon Sullivan '09, writes a column for the March 2006 Dickinsonian on the perceptions of the Women's Studies Major. Being a Women's Studies Major, Shannon discusses how many people feel the major is "completely unnecessary." Since this major is still very "new" in terms of most college majors, people often forget how important this major is to understanding our culture.

Saudi military aircraft have conducted a fresh round of attacks against several areas across Yemen as Riyadh presses ahead with an atrocious military campaign against its impoverished southern neighbor.
On Wednesday morning, massive explosions shook the Yemeni capital of Sana'a as Saudi fighter jets launched 10 airstrikes against the May 22 residential complex in the western neighborhood of Sawad Hanash, Arabic-language al-Masirah satellite television network reported.
There were no immediate reports of possible casualties and the extent of damage the assault inflicted.
Saudi warplanes have also carried out 18 airstrikes against Nashour district of Yemen's northwestern province of Sa'ada since late night.
Saudi jets also bombarded a Yemeni air force base on al-Settin Street, a special forces army base in the northern Hasabah neighborhood and a local radio station building close to the premises of the Yemeni parliament.

Separately, Saudi warplanes pounded Bakil al-Mir, al-Marzaq and Haraz districts in Yemen's northern province of Hajjah.
Late on Tuesday, at least eight people, among them three women and as many children, lost their lives after Saudi military aircraft targeted a number of houses in Hamdan district on the outskirts of the Yemeni capital. Four people also sustained injuries in the attack.
Saudi warplanes also struck a petrol station in the southern Yemeni province of Ibb on Tuesday, leaving four people killed and ten others injured.
Earlier in the day, two people were killed and more than 10 others injured when Saudi jets targeted a government building in Sana'a.

Saudi Arabia started its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 – without a UN mandate – in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement, which currently controls the capital, Sana'a, and major provinces, and to restore power to Yemen's fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Riyadh.
According to the UN, nearly 2,000 people have been killed and 7,330 injured due to the conflict in Yemen since March 19.

On May 27, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a statement that innocent Yemeni people are paying the "highest price" in the deadly Saudi aggression against Yemen.

Stan Lee cameos aren't only relegated to Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, nor just the big screen. Indeed, we've now learned via filmmaker Bryan Singer that Lee will make a cameo in the upcoming Fox X-Men TV series, which may or may not be titled The Gifted. The show is very different from that other recent X-Men TV show, FX's Legion. That series hailed from Fargo creator Noah Hawley and, as is FX's way, Hawley was basically allowed to do whatever he wanted, including creating a show that doesn't really have to adhere to any of the previous X-Men cinematic mythology.
This new series, however, sounds more traditional. Burn Notice creator Matt Nix serves as showrunner, and it revolves around two ordinary parents who are forced to go on the run after discovering their children possess the mutant X-gene. They subsequently link up with an underground group of mutants fighting for freedom against persecution.
Stephen Moyer (True Blood) and Amy Acker (Dollhouse, The Cabin in the Woods) play the leads, while the supporting cast includes Natalie Alyn Lind, Jamie Chung, Emma Dumont, Joseph Morgan, Coby Bell, Blair Redford, and Sean Teale. We know the series will include famous mutant personalities like Blink, Polaris, and Thunderbird, which sets it apart from Legion which largely made up many of its mutants. The show is also looking pretty likely for a series pickup.
Singer himself directed the pilot after helming the last two X-Men movies X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: Apocalypse. He's no stranger to TV having helmed the pilots for House, M.D. and Battle Creek, and in the below photo Singer reveals Stan Lee's cameo that was shot during production in Dallas, Texas.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of tone this show strikes, and if viewers tune in. Superhero TV has been hit or miss—the CW shows have built up significant fanbases, but ABC's stabs at Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter have been met with low ratings and lackluster critical reception—Agent Carter was cancelled after two seasons. But Fox may find the recipe for success here with The Gifted, and if the show is picked up we'll find out sometime during the 2017-18 TV season.
For now, check out Singer's photo below.

CollegeSpring received the Khanfidence Builder Award today at NCAN's 2017 National Conference in San Diego, CA.
The Khanfidence Builder Award, generously supported by The College Board, recognizes a college access/success organization for incorporating Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy into their program to build students' readiness for the SAT and college. The College Board believes that by placing high-quality, free resources directly into the hands of those who work with students we can help all students realize their potential. This award recognizes an organization that effectively engaged students in productive practice using Official SAT Practice tools and tracked their progress via a potentially scalable program. College Board Executive Director, SAT Student Success Aaron Lemon-Strauss presented the award to CollegeSpring Chief Operating Officer Matt Aguiar at the conference.
NCAN member CollegeSpring is a national nonprofit based in Oakland, CA that equips low-income and diverse students with academic skills and mentoring to close gaps in SAT and ACT achievement and college opportunity. For nearly a decade, the organization has worked with schools and community-based organizations to provide low-income students with skills remediation through test preparation and near-peer mentoring that leads to higher SAT scores and increased access to better-resourced postsecondary institutions with higher persistence and graduation rates. Thanks to years of continual growth, CollegeSpring has served more than 19,000 students in the San Francisco Bay Area, Southern California, and New York.
CollegeSpring first piloted integration of Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy last year, as an optional supplement to its core program. Instructor and mentor handbooks now incorporate the free resources for specific lessons in the curriculum, and students who struggle in the classroom can follow up for individual, additional practice on Khan Academy.
Students are using it. In 2016-17, 59 percent of CollegeSpring survey participants accessed and used Official SAT Practice (the rest were not specifically assigned to do so). Instructors who've referred students to the resource say they've proven helpful, and allowed for "a deeper level of expertise and instruction than they have on their own."
Instructors and mentors also say Official SAT Practice should be integrated more deeply into the program, so CollgeSpring has plans for expansion including better tracking of student progress on Khan Academy, including mandatory practice in the student curriculum, and taking a more sophisticated approach to data collection and analysis to understand Official SAT Practice's impact on test score improvement and maximize student performance. The organization envisions "combining its proven curriculum and program implementation resources with Khan Academy SAT practice resources to provide students with an SAT prep and college application guidance experience that is relationship-driven, personalized, and integrated into their academic program."
As the award-winner, CollegeSpring will receive $5,000 for general operating support, scholarships, and/or technology needs. Last year's winner was the College Crusade of Rhode Island in Providence.

AIA HSC Board Meeting

The Baggies are currently rooted to the bottom of the standings and four points adrift of safety following last weekend's 3-2 home defeat to fellow strugglers Southampton.
Albion's eight-season stay in the top flight is now under serious threat but former England international Barry insists now is not the time to panic and they must instead take things one game at a time, starting with Monday's trip to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea.
"It will be a case of taking things one game at a time,' Barry told the club website. "There are going to be a lot of up and downs between now and the end of the season. It's up to us to make sure there are more ups.'
The 36-year-old conceded the home defeat to Southampton was a bitter pill to swallow for his side but knows picking up results at the Hawthorns is going to be integral to their chances of survival.
"The home form is going to be vital. That's probably why the Southampton result has knocked us a bit," Barry added.
"Before that the results and performances had been really good so it's important to put that one to bed really early, go into Chelsea and then from then on be really positive about our form and take it through to the end of the season."

This is the latest spy video with the 2014 Infiniti G37, showing various styling cues borrowed from the Emerg-E concept.
Infiniti is preparing one last facelift for the G37 before the next generation arrives, and we have the video to prove it.
Scheduled for an unveiling next March in Geneva, the updated G37 will feature some styling cues seen first on the Emerg-E concept, including more pronounced character lines, firm's signature grille and a more fluid shape. In addition, the 2014 model seems to be slightly bigger than the current version so it's safe to say that it will offer more room inside.
Infiniti plans coupe, convertible and IPL versions for its facelifted G series which will have more in common with the C-Class since Renault-Nissan and Daimler have joined forces. Under the hood it will get a revised VQ 3.7-liter V-6 engine, while in some markets a 4-cylinder diesel borrowed from Mercedes-Benz will be offered. This diesel could be the 2.1-liter unit found under the hood of several MBs, like the 2013 GLK250 BlueTEC.
The Japanese automaker is also planning a hybrid variant that will get a similar powertrain as the one inside the Infiniti M35h. While current IPL variants are available only for the coupe and convertible, the 2014MY G37 IPL could be offered for the sedan as well, with strong chances of seeing a turbocharger to match the upcoming versions of the M3, C63 AMG and IS F.

The email came from my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture): come, help us harvest crops on the farm and we'll pay you in extra produce. Given that I live in the woods and can never produce more than two tomatoes a year, how could I pass up an offer like that?
So one sunny Friday morning I drove out to the country. I followed directions and found myself on a dirt road, driving back into…a giant garden. The CSA I belong to is run by The Center for Community Empowerment , headed by Michael Hicks. He put me to work immediately digging up potatoes under a row of hay.
Michael explained that they plant the potatoes a bit shallow and then cover them with the hay to create a mulch protector. So all I had to do was pull off the hay, put it in piles by the row (the hay will be used later for more mulch and compost) and put the potatoes in a crate. It was cool when I started the day, but after a couple of hours, I began peeling off layers in the warm autumn sun.
Working in agriculture is not for everyone. Michael said that he had had some people come out to the farm to help him and left after 15 MINUTES! How is it that folks can work out in a gym for hours but can't dig or pick a few vegetables?
But no matter, it was a lovely day, I was happy to be out in the sun working and the promise of extra produce for my efforts was sweet. Even better were the fried potatoes we got to eat at lunch, freshly dug and cleaned. My turkey sandwich and apple never left the car.
Later that afternoon we covered the rows of kale with small hoops and plastic, preparing for the upcoming cold nights. It was hard to imagine frost and cold when I looked out over the lovely rows of multi-colored greens.
Six hours after I arrived it was time to go. True to his word, Michael loaded me up with potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage, greens, peppers, and pumpkins!! Lots and lots of pumpkins!! He was very excited to hear that my chickens love greens and tomatoes, so I got POUNDS extra of cracked tomatoes, split or undersized cabbages and damaged greens. He was glad that less food would go to waste, as I imagine it must be frustrating to see even one tomato not get used after you work so hard to grow it.
Seeing where my vegetables have been coming from this summer was, well, rewarding. I have renewed admiration for anyone who can make a living off the land. Its hard work, just plain hard work. But its also worth the effort when you see what you have produced, touched it, arranged it and, ultimately, sold it to pay for the next generation of food.
I thought I was used to hard work from the chickens, but this takes it to another level. I fell asleep in a chair at 8 p.m. Still, if and when the call comes again, I'll be there if I can.

With temperatures hovering around zero and the limestone crags of the UK still dripping with the last of the winter weather, early Spring has become a time of pilgrimage for many British sport climbers. The warmer weather and world-class climbing available just a short-haul flight away in Spain tempt hundreds of climbers to Catalonia and the southern coast to sample the incredible landscapes, like minded company and athletic routes.
This draw isn't limited to those based in the UK, and this season, it pulled Jacob Cook, Bronwyn Hodgins and their friend Hayden Jamieson all the way across the Atlantic to share in the experience.

When a friend of mine initially invited me to his family home in the northern Italian mountains, I considered the trip a simple opportunity to catch up and tick another area off my bucket list. However, I didn't really consider what I would find when I arrived. I'd created a list of people to visit and I had been ploughing through that list with little thought for the actual geographical locations which I would be encountering. So, when I did find myself surrounded by the Italian mountains, walking the paths of the Alpini (Italian mountain soldiers) and gazing out over shimmering landscapes and glorious sunsets, it was with an incredible sense of the surreal.
The afternoon that I arrived, I was taken on a lovely walk up into the leafy forest. Ladies and gentlemen, it was the stuff of fairy tales. Imagine rich foliage, the sunlight pouring through the branches and glowing ever more orange as we approached sunset. Imagine emerging from the bushes and standing on jutting rock which falls away beneath you, and below you can see small towns with bell towers and churches, glistening lakes, and the haze of the late afternoon sun throwing a golden cast over the whole panorama.
The following day, we went trekking in the mountains, choosing an "easy" path for the completely inexperienced and very unfit Sydney girl (a.k.a. me). My friend and guide, who was a very experienced trekker, assured me that it would be a light, easy walk. What the supposedly gentle trail turned out to be was a trail for "experts" upon which we braved both the blazing sun and Italy's deadliest viper (albeit a baby one).
That morning, we drove up the mountains to the highest parking point at Telve, a little area with a restaurant/bar and meeting point on the side of the mountain. Leaving the car behind, we began to zigzag up the mountain. When we stopped for the first little break (because of my fatigue rather than my companion's) I was already well down struggle street. I was hot. I was tired. I was thirsty. And there was still a very long stretch of mountain yet to conquer. We had been walking for a grand total of about twenty minutes. Cue internal sobbing.
Such views as the one above did spur me on (as did the chocolate my hiking buddy wisely packed in his bag), and we trudged along the mountainside, me stumbling along in his surer-footed wake. I stared out around me, declared that this all felt very Lord of the Rings, and lost my footing. I recovered, my friend eyeing me cautiously, and we continued.
It was on the loop back around to the car that my friend shouted out, "Ferma! Ferma! Ferma!" ("Stop! Stop! Stop!") and a little snake slid across the path in front of him. He breathed out and informed me that while it was a young snake, it was also the most deadly species of viper in Italy. Again, cue internal crying.
The whole trek took about 5 hours, including a lakeside lunch break, and I was quite tired by the end. Aside from the snake incident, the whole journey was without troubles, so I was rather proud of myself by the end.
We reached the cafe at the end of the path, shared a strudel with a bee who was insistent on eating the icing sugar, and then returned to the car and drove back down the mountain.
It was only when we returned back to base that I realised that my eyes were red raw and I had a very distinct and unattractive t-shirt tan. Definitely need to remember the sunscreen next time! The majestic beauty of those mountains was well worth the painful lesson learnt!

Until the Fires Stopped Burning : 9/11 and New York City in the Words and Experiences of Survivors and Witnesses Hardback
by Charles (CUNY) Strozier
Charles B. Strozier's college lost sixty-eight alumni in the tragedy of 9/11, and the many courses he has taught on terrorism and related topics since have attracted dozens of survivors and family members.
A practicing psychoanalyst in Manhattan, Strozier has also accepted many seared by the disaster into his care.
In some ways, the grief he has encountered has felt familiar; in other ways, unprecedented.
Compelled to investigate its unique character further, he launched a fascinating study into the conscious and unconscious meaning of the event, both for those who were physically close to the attack and for those who witnessed it beyond the immediate space of Ground Zero. Based on the testimony of survivors, bystanders, spectators, and victim's friends and families, Until the Fires Stopped Burning brings much-needed clarity to the conscious and unconscious meaning of 9/11 and its relationship to historical disaster, apocalyptic experience, unnatural death, and the psychological endurance of trauma. Strozier interprets and contextualizes the memories of witnesses and compares their encounter with 9/11 to the devastation of Hiroshima, Auschwitz, Katrina, and other events Kai Erikson has called a "new species of trouble" in the world. Organizing his study around "zones of sadness" in New York, Strozier powerfully evokes the multiple places in which his respondents confronted 9/11 while remaining sensitive to the personal, social, and cultural differences of these experiences.
Most important, he distinguishes between 9/11 as an apocalyptic event (which he affirms it is not;rather, it is a monumental event), and 9/11 as an apocalyptic experience, which is crucial to understanding the act's affect on American life and a still-evolving culture of fear in the world.

Company Background
The Sumitomo business was started in Kyoto, the historical capital city of Japan, nearly 400 years ago by Masatomo Sumitomo (1585-1652) and Riemon Soga (1572-1636).
The emblem of Riemon Soga's original business, Izumiya (izumi "spring" and ya "shop"), and many Sumitomo companies today is an igeta, a frame placed around a well in pre-modern Japan. The igeta symbolizes sparkling water gushing constantly from a fountainhead, which forms a mighty river before flowing into a vast ocean.
Business Principles of Sumitomo
In 1891, Sumitomo formulated it's business principles, which based upon the "Founders precepts" by Masatomo
Corporate mission of Sumitomo Electric
Sumitomo Electric's corporate mission is to serve society by applying technological innovation to the development of tomorrow's products and services. This mission is represented graphically by the communication symbol, which features three diagonal lines extending from the tops of the Company's initials, SEI (Sumitomo Electric Industries) These three lines denote the keywords that sum up Sumitomo Electric's operations namely;

Most companies will have some sort of client or customer services operation. This maybe called Customer Support. It will also include any helpdesk operations. Customer services is a front line role, whose primary responsibility is to provide support for existing clients and resolve any problems they may be experiencing. It also involves improving their experience of the company's product or service and where applicable increasing usage. In some organisations, client training is also included within this area. In general this is often a reactive role, although not in all cases.
Customer services will be involved in:
- After sales care
- Product selection
- Resolving customer problems
- Dealing with complaints
- Explaining product usage
- Enabling product usage
Dependent on the organisation, customer services are either mainly telephone/online based or for those higher value, more complex products, involved in face to face client visits. Customer support maybe also play a role in supporting the sales force.
Customer Services staff usually have an excellent understanding of the company's products as they regularly have to resolve problems and usage issues with them. They may also have to regularly deal with unhappy and stressed clients who feel they have been let down or wish to complain. These departments are particularly large and key in organisations where the firm's products are critical to their clients. This is often the case for those that are technology based. If they go wrong, it is important that a resolution is found quickly and that's the responsibility of customer services. They will often liaise with other departments within their firm to organise engineers or seek advice.
Most business-to-business organisations will employ large customer services department, but so to will those organisations that deliver a service and are contracted directly with the end consumer e.g. Sky. Many of these effectively work as a help desk, some of which will be specialists. Other organisations, such as insurance companies will also employ large teams that are in effect in a sales role, providing quotes for clients and administering the paperwork that follows. This will however be a very structured online environment, with sophisticated systems to provide them information and support.
The Customer Service role, is a great training ground as it develops first class knowledge of the firm and its products. It's also a front line role, dealing with customers. It's generally very busy, and being patient, working quickly and keeping calm will stand you in good stead. You often need to juggle a number of things at any one time and stay on top of them and ensure each is followed through – so a strong sense of ownership helps.

You are a accountable, caring and loving pet owner and the safety of your pets is of paramount value to you. Typically, theses are the hours that are not as busy and sales associates are a lot more most likely to be a lot more relaxed and don't feel rushed and are much more versatile when it comes time to serving you. Underground houses with higher thermal mass are suitable for semi-arid, temperate climates, not sub-tropical such as exactly where I live. Several earth-sheltered houses are constructed with huge, south-facing windows to let in all-natural light. In addition to the insulation and cost-saving attributes, some people that reside in earth-sheltered houses feel safer… much less vulnerable to vandalism and theft. In the late 19th century, 70{9ad3279a92e9aa43d65c74a79b3a9ac1cd6c5c16644530ae10f3f187a627b7f2} of the population of the city owned their personal houses. Throughout the housing boom of the 1920s, Gallagher and his sons offered properties with built-in garages. A city development workplace provided technical and monetary help with a city backed loan program for the restoration of older properties.
Many people in the industry to buy a home will fly over a neighborhood they are interested in buying a home in. When you list your home with Zillow, a red symbol of a home will seem on your property, which alerts purchasers that your home is for sale.
Kimadagem, I just want to point out that I spend 635 a month for a good wooden floored a single bedroom apartment in a suburbian city outdoors of Austin although going to college complete time and functioning 50 hours a week. You have to make at least three times your monthly rent each month to be accepted into most apartment complexes in the twenty-initial century.
What you will find are stories about Irish resistance to modular housing in their country Australia's new really like affair with modular housing innovative methods that England is promoting modular home living and other countries creating new modular home factories, shipping container properties and tiny houses.
The smaller homes had been frequently properties for Baltimore's big African American population which integrated freemen and slaves. Tiny houses/small properties are a huge movement these days as people seek to downsize in an effort to make more of much less. If one of my buddies have been suddenly homeless, then the higher-level of individuals would have him and family members into a excellent home with fixtures, him with a job, and all the foundations of life in 72 hours or much less. A extremely modest a single bedroom apartment may only price $650 a month in spending budget housing but those who rent it must earn at least $1950 a month in most instances.
