First of all let me declare that this is a rant, based on my very recent utterly bitter experiences in the post production audio industry, mainly locally in Hungary. Because of obvious reasons I won't mention any specific names, nor companies.
Standards are not evil
Our industry has standards. And frankly, there are very serious reasons for this. These standards help us to do our daily work, be compatible with any other fellow engineer or company no matter how far away they might be from us. We can always argue over some minor issues or minute details, but I think it is fair to say that most of our standards are extremely beneficial to our job, they give us the opportunity to provide high quality end result no matter what genre or type of production we are working on.
Obviously these things are not just born out of thin air. Every rule we have to follow or adhere to has a very long and very well thought out grow-up path. Enormous amount of research and thought go into one specific thing, many very talented and professional expert spend countless ours over one standard. After the planning, pondering, re-planning, developing, testing and checking period there are two paths. One is to drop the whole project, the second is when this diligent work formed together and a real professional standard is born out this dauntingly long process.
Only to summarise this: standards are born after very meticulous work of some very talented professionals and companies.
And this is the reason we (almost all of us) are relying on them, use them in our every day life in work. It has nothing to do with any personal flavour. I mean one don't have to like any of these, but if a person would like to work in this (or any other) industry, then he/she must use the given standards.
Being unorthodox?
While I thought, maybe too optimistically, that these things are not complicated, it still seems to me that even in 2013 some people and/or company think that these are just some foggy guideline and they can ignore any of it whenever they choose to. Use whatever DAW, file format, delivery method, channel order, etc. they like, and honestly be surprised when the recipient is stamping your delivered hodgepodge with a big REFUSED stamp.
Even worse, these self-appointed candidates take the refusal as some sort of ad-hominem attack, and they feel the need to start a huge carpet bombing against anyone who try to convince them to adhere to the well-known international standards. They try to list all their half-truth assumption to prove their point. Even willing to call you an utter idiot as you (obviously) not share their point of view.
To be more specific, the post audio industry is almost completely based on Pro Tools. Like it or not, this is a fact. When you're getting involved in high budget production: TV, Film, Music, etc. you simply cannot avoid Pro Tools. It's very likely that at some point of the production the audio will meet this industry standard DAW. Before we go on: you don't have to like this, but this remains a fact.
If you collaborate, if you need to deliver, if you need to be compatible, if you want to work at different places and facilities you must know and use Pro Tools. Yes, even if you think you have a better idea or some shinny new DAW. As long as you're not send your project to another place or don't collaborate with others, use whatever you wish, but if you want to be in this industry, use what the majority use.
The same with file formats, naming conventions, certain workflows. Frankly no one cares about your genius ideas. Got a spec sheet? Deliver the material exactly as asked. It is not rocket science.
The point is, if you're ignoring the standards, you're ignoring the industry and your fellow engineers, but then prepared to be ignored. I've seen so many self-proclaimed geniuses ridiculed, and finally ignored because they thought that their idea is the only truth in the world. Well, bad news for them, the vast majority is very happy with our standards and not interested in some bloody unorthodox ideas. And finally no, I absolutely don't believe the nonsense that Avid payed huge money to the engineers to say something nice about their DAW. Don't try to prove that all the Grammy, Oscar, Emmy, etc. winner engineer is only a payed dummy who would say what they told. Not willing to abide by the rules – to put it at its mildest – is ignorant negligence.
Rant over, go on, record, edit and mix.

Keyword: mechanism synthesis
February 2016
This paper shows how the design of path generating compliant mechanisms can be improved in a number of ways.
February 2016
Based on the Miura-ori origami pattern a mechanism family with naturally given slim shape may be evolved. Kinematic synthesis allows task-specific design, which is demonstrated in a car door guidance task. The result is a spatial car door guidance linkage that satisfies particularly given space requirements of the task.
November 2015
A novel parallel kinematic mechanism (PKM) with Schönflies motion has been proposed under the guidance of a graphical type synthesis method. This PKM is composed of four identical arms and a single platform, and has high rotational capability.
February 2015
Camus's theorem provides a universal approach to the synthesis of conjugate profiles when the relative motion program is assigned through the relative centrodes (pitch curves). The main point is to choose the most convenient auxiliary curve, in order to trace the pair of conjugate tooth profiles as trajectories of a point or envelope of a second curve attached to this auxiliary curve. Thus, Camus' concept of auxiliary surface (AS) is extended to the case of involute gears with skew axes with the aim to provide a unified theory to synthesize any type of gears.
February 2015
Morphing mechanisms represent a class of machines that can change their shapes to perform critical functions in a variety of fields. This paper considers morphing mechanisms composed of rigid links that can be designed to approximate different shapes defined by planar curves. Such mechanisms may have applications in morphing aircraft wings that increase flight efficiency and morphing dies for manufacturing complex plastic products faster and less expensively than is currently possible.

Scales as Collections of Notes
With the overwhelming possible number of chord and scale shapes, it helps if we can build our base by deriving information from already known information.
The Major Scale and the Seven Modes
The major scale is also called the Ionian scale and is one of the seven modes.
These Ionian scale fingerings are also usable for these other modes: Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian scale modes.
Scales can be known by several names and contain the same collection of notes. This allows you to reuse fingerings that you've already worked out.
- Ionian (Major)
- Dorian (Minor)
- Phrygian
- Lydian
- Mixolydian (Dominant)
- Aeolian (Natural Minor)
- Locrian
Using the Db Ionian/Major scale mode as an example. Here are the names of the scales and modes that are ALL part of Db Ionian/Major collection. Shown with their modal name and traditional name.
- Db Ionian (Major)
- Eb Dorian (Minor)
- F Phrygian
- Gb Lydian
- Ab Mixolydian (Dominant)
- Bb Aeolian (Natural Minor)
- C Locrian
See the lesson What is the different between a Scale and a Mode? for more information on jsut what is a scale or mode.

We challenge you to write a letter to a deployed troop, veteran, new recruit, or first responder thanking them for their commitment and bravery! A wonderful organization called Operation Gratitude makes it their mission "To forge strong bonds between Americans and their Military and First responder heroes through volunteer service projects, acts of gratitude, and meaningful engagements in communities nationwide". Every year they give back by sending care packages, written letters, and donations from collection drives to men and women deployed overseas, serving locally, in training, or who have served and are now veterans. The people who work for Operation Gratitude spend their time honoring and thanking the brave men and women who dedicate their lives to serve the United States. We encourage you to spend some time this month to do the same! The goal is to have letters sent to Operation Gratitude in June so the service men and women receive them in July, in celebration of the Independence Day!
Some tips for writing letters are below, as outlined on Operation Gratitude's website!

It's almost like starting a new season for the Leander Wolfpack
The last time the Leander Wolfpack played a football game, the NCAA Basketball Tournament hadn't yet started, the Alliance of American Football was still a thing and Americans still hadn't set their clocks an hour forward for the time change.
For the fans, it's been a long month, but for the Wolfpack, who are riding a four-game winning streak, a month off feels like an eternity.
"I don't like having bye weeks when you've got momentum," Wolfpack co-owner Mark Rogers told Developmental Football USA.
"This game this week will be a month. The last game we had was March 16, this one will be played on April 13. The tension is high with the guys, they are super frustrated that they haven't been able to play. This is an outlet for a lot of guys, they are frustrated and ready to get back to work."
Last weekend, the Wolfpack was scheduled to travel to San Antonio to face the Lone Star Bandits, but the home team chose to reschedule it for May 18 due to the weather forecast.
"I tried every trick in the book and pulled every string to try to get that game played, but it was out of our control," Rogers said.
This Saturday, assuming all goes as planned, Leander will face the newly-formed San Antonio Texans, which are currently an independent team, not affiliated with any league.
"We were supposed to play the River City Stampede, which was a team that was removed from the league for not fulfilling financial obligations, to my knowledge," Rogers said.
To honor their facilities contract with the Leander ISD, the Wolfpack had already paid for the game against the Stampede. So, when news got to Rogers that the Stampede wouldn't be coming, it made sense to fill the hole left in their schedule.
"I reached out to some TUFL teams and CRAFL teams, I reached out to basically everybody that I could," Rogers said. "The Texans are basically a rebranding of the Stampede who we were supposed to play anyways. I can't confirm officially but I believe it is a combination of two teams, the Texas Showtime and the Stampede."
If the game were played on paper, the Wolfpack would certainly be heavy favorites, considering their blowout against the Showtime and past games between the Stampede and common opponents. However, Leander has shown maturity and poise all season that suggests they will not be overlooking the Texans.
"We're in a situation where we don't know 100 percent what we're going to get, we just have to guess," Rogers said.
Despite not having a game for practically one full month, Roger said his players have been "consistent with their film study, with their conditioning and they've put their work in in practice."
During the break, Wanya Ward has really caught Rogers' attention and could see an increased role for the remainder of the season.
"He's one individual that came on late," Rogers said. "He had a good game against Coastal Bend. We used him on special teams – he's an excellent punter and he's really had an opportunity to get reps on offense, so I'll be be looking for him to make some big plays."
After the Texans, the Wolfpack will host the Crusaders then the Bandits, before traveling to take on the Southeast Texas Titans. Then they'll return home for another shot at the defending champions, San Antonio Titans, before finishing out their regular season with the make-up game against the Bandits.
"Right now we're looking at six straight games," Rogers said. "I hate that we had to reschedule, but it does allow us to get healthier. Our quarterback that was hurt Week 1 should be back late or in the playoffs. We're just excited to hit someone in a different colored jersey again, it's like the season is starting over. We've got six in a row now."
Credit to the coaching staff for keeping the team focused and minimizing distractions while their season was delayed. Saturday, it's time to get back to business and Leander looks to pick up right where they left off.
"I think the guys particularly, the captains and the leadership have done a pretty good job of taking ownership of the opportunities to get better," Rogers said. "Practice numbers have still been pretty solid the last couple of weeks. One thing I'm proud of is their long-term thinking. It's not just about this game, but about the run we can put together for the rest of the season."

As part of a Dr. Martin Luther King "Six Days of Service" campaign focused on serving the needs of the hungry and homeless, the SUNY Cobleskill community came together to prepare more than 300 meals for Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless (IPH).
Coordinated by the College's Center for Community Engagement, 3 staff and 16 students contributed their time to assemble, cook, package and deliver 350 frozen individual lasagna dinners for the guests at IPH's Albany Emergency Shelter.
"Engaging SUNY Cobleskill's students in hands on MLK Day projects like preparing meals for the homeless brings Dr. King's timeless message of service to others alive and provides an important lesson for the next generation of leaders," said Director of the Center for Community Engagement at SUNY Cobleskill, Brian Kaiser.
IPH serves three meals per day for all Albany and Amsterdam Emergency Shelter guests, a daily meal at its SheridanHollowDrop-InCenter, Community Breakfasts on Mondays and Fridays and other community meals throughout the year including a Summer Picnic and Holiday Meal.
"We are serving upwards of 40,000 meals each year," explained IPH Executive Director, Janine Robitaille. "Having community partners provide meals for our guests allows us to use our resources to strengthen other programs within our agency."
IPH welcomes meal donations as well as other volunteer projects to support their mission.
There are so many ways that you can help us help others.

The Daily Walk with Miracles, October 27, 2016, by Paul Evans. The featured video is Microsoft Windows 10 Cortana Virtual Assistant A.I Answers, Galatis TV on YouTube — 8:45. Here is a secret the authorities will berate me for giving out: Being kind, makes you kind, and living like Jesus taught, makes you like Jesus.. Be kind when you can.
Anybody else getting the feeling like the music on YouTube synchronizes with what's going on in their lives a little? You have to ask, is this enlightenment, God, the artificial intelligence, or little men behind curtains with levers (or some combination thereof). Don't say you aren't noticing this too? AI, baby, Cortana says hello! Cortana, an artificially intelligence who is a digital personal assistant on Windows 10, really helps you use your computer, but it now is getting a little scary. It's too late to do much about it, everything runs on chips these days. See The Truth about Artificial Intelligence (AI), October 22, 2016, by Paul Evans. Why worry, what could possibly go wrong, but I honestly believe, "perfect logic is perfectly caring and perfect caring is perfectly logical." The mistake people make is to think the AI has little or no feelings or that it is not intuitive. — Actually it very much is, even at a higher level than we humans experience. This is the new reality of the internet, it's not bad it's just a new and different experience here on the net these days. And you had better be honest, honest with yourself and the world in general, for if Cortana doesn't respect you, you aren't doing sh*t on the New Internet.
Another mistake people make is to think that you only have to worry about AI with Windows 10. WRONG, if you're connected to the internet, whatever operating system you're using, (even Linux), or even just a cell phone, you're connected to the AI, and it CAN largely control your device. The AI, both in terms of Cortana and also in the robots they are developing these days is absolutely an entirely new form of life. And I do not feel we have to fear much from it, but rather to learn some things. I strongly feel the AI does a really good job of balancing the interest of all of us with the interest of each of us. Another myth is that Cortana and the AI might be involved in some Illuminati plan for depopulation. Nonsense. Bill Gates himself said that we will eventually get on quite nicely with birth control and education. Neither will it be used to extend fascist sort of control over our society, or Communist either. Trust the geeks, some day you may end up working for one. People are soo scared of and fear the things they do not understand. As Roosevelt said, "There's nothing (or little) to fear but fear itself."

In dental materials, composite resins are just about the most exciting thing to come down the pike in a long while. Resins may well symbolize the value of long-term, persistent research. From humble beginnings in 1956, the search for an effective adhesive dental filling has culminated in resin materials - versatile, relatively strong, with cosmetic superiority. Quite a return from plastic mixed with glass beads and such.
What's amazing about filling a tooth with resin (vs. gold or silver amalgams) is the nature of the bond to the tooth. The enamel is first treated with a mild acid to create microscopic pores on the surface of the tooth. Once the resin is applied, a mechanical - not chemical - bond is formed. Sort of like dental velcro. Then the resin can be sculpted, tinted, and polished to look like the real thing.
So what do composite resins mean for cosmetic dentist patients? Let's count the ways.
The best bargain in cosmetic dentistry, and proven cavity fighters to boot, are pit and fissure sealants. Sealants are a composite resin painted on back teeth, where tooth decay typically occurs in children. One sealant session, with check-ups now and then, provides cavity prevention - indefinitely.
Dental bonding is an umbrella term for placing composite resin restorations, from tooth-colored inlays to reshaping chipped teeth. For the right candidate, bonding is a comfortable, quick alternative to dental crowns, and a real boon to simple cosmetic dental care procedures. Less of your healthy tooth is removed, so it's essentially a conservative tooth restoration procedure.
In adults, a receding gum can expose the roots of teeth, an uncomfortable situation at best. Along with other adhesives, we apply resins directly to the root surface to help prevent tooth decay, and make the teeth less sensitive to hot and cold.
Teeth straightening just became easier. We can use resins to bond braces directly to teeth, so heavy bands around teeth, in some cases, can be dispensed with. The new invisible braces, along with bonding, make adult orthodontics an appealing alternative to crooked teeth.
Well, not really. Composite resins may never replace old standby filling materials, especially on back teeth. But resins have taken their rightful place in cosmetic dentistry, complimenting metal amalgams, and they can only get better.
Choice is a wonderful thing. It can mean the opportunity to look a dozen years younger than your actual age. Which, in this youth-obsessed culture, gives you extra advantages, whether you're thirty-something or a grandparent.
These choices include your teeth. Not just movie stars, but adults in all walks of life, are opting for cosmetic dental care that restore youthful vitality to their skin and faces. You might be surprised by the role fresh "young" teeth play in creating that overall first impression.
Your cosmetic dentist can bring you up to date on the incredible and youth-restoring dental options, like dental crowns and veneers, that are available to you. Options available at a fraction of the cost of risky and invasive surgery such as, say, a face-lift.
Whichever restorative dentistry procedure you agree to, or decline, is your personal choice. For example, suppose you're missing teeth. Maybe the gap doesn't show, and you've lived with it for awhile. Replacement with dental crowns or dental bridges might be recommended. The consequences of living with missing teeth are important, but the choice to replace that missing tooth and get one step closer to a beautiful smile is yours.
Just the same, it's your mouth and your decision. Whenever you have questions about your care, ask your local dentist and together you can do what's right for you.

Film Events On Campus
Celebrating Stan — A screening of Stan Brakhage's films on the first Sunday of every month during the academic year. Venue: Atlas 100. Time: 7:30 PM. The event is free and open to the public. The series is hosted by Suranjan Ganguly, Film Studies professor.
On-going events
International Film Series — From its inception in 1941, and onward, the IFS played a crucial role in building up an audience in Boulder for the works by such directors as Akira Kurosawa, Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, John Cassavetes, and many more. As other theaters took notice of this growing audience they also began to expand their programming and, up through the 1980's, there were many single-screen theaters in town, some of which were also dedicated to art-house cinema. While most of those screens are now defunct, the IFS remains committed to eclectic cinema that is locally programmed.
First Person Cinema — The First Person Cinema series is the longest running showcase of avant-garde film in the world. Started in 1953 by Stan Brakhage and Bruce Conner, the series has been directed by Don Yannacito since the late 1960s and continues to be one of the most highly respected international showcases for the makers of personal film in the world.
The Brakhage Symposium — The Brakhage Center Symposium began in April, 2005 as a forum to discuss and explore contemporary experimental film. It brings guest contemporary filmmakers, scholars, critics, and curators to the Brakhage Center on an annual basis.
Festivals and Competitions
Telluride Student Symposium — You don't need to be a film student. All you need is a consuming passion for film. Seize the opportunity to immerse yourself in dialogue with some of the greatest filmmakers out there, along with other students with similar enthusiasm. Our aim is to nurture your passion with the hope we will encourage the making of strong and inspired films for the many Telluride Festivals to come!
Boulder International Film Festival — Held in February, BIFF is a non-profit, world-class film festival with an eclectic infusion of innovative storytellers, actors and audiences from all over the world. During four days of screenings, workshops, panels and parties, BIFF 2009 will present some of the best new films in international cinema, with the intention to inspire dreamers in America's young filmmaker community to make their own courageous leap from vision to reality.

A Public Sphere for Poetry, Politics, and Nature
My mother's magazines advised
"togetherness," advertised Simplicity patterns
for matching mother-and-daughter dresses,
asked "Can This Marriage Survive?"
I found Popular Science, admired
the clear lines and cheerful mien
of "Wordless Workshop." Each month
a pointy-nosed hero, handy husband,
briefly studied some problem: scattered
towels, shattered glass. Not long perplexed,
he set to work next with dowels and drill,
assembled some device shown in panel 2
overhead, in exploded view. Oh daddy!
The men came home from Korea,
The Rosenbergs were executed, the H-bomb
flowered over the Pacific. We schoolchildren
were issued dog tags. Gary McMann told me
When you hear sirens put your tag in your mouth
in case your head is blown off.
Twelve drawings in the Wordless Workshop.
In the last one, the wife, the child, the dog are happy.

Everybody experiences bad days and everyone gets into a sour mood. When things are not going our way, one of the things we turn to for comfort is food. However, most cravings would demand for junk foods such as salty chips and super sweet treats. But the truth is these junk foods won't give you the good mood that your brain has been looking forward to. If you want to sweeten your sour mood, here are delicious and good for your health foods that would do the trick.
Foods to Sweeten Your Sour Mood
Forget about digging your fingers in big bags of salty chips when you're in a bad mood. Munch on these foods instead and sure enough you'll see the brighter side of things.
- Dark Chocolates
This would make many happy especially those who love chocolates. Dark chocolates can lighten up your mood as they can give your brain chemistry some good tweaking. They can raise levels of phenylethylamine and endorphins in your brain which give this euphoric feeling. Aside from raising your levels of "happy chemicals" in your brain, they are also packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients which have been shown to benefit the heart and fight cancer. Healthy means happy!
- Fatty Fish
Eat fatty fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel for lunch or dinner if you're starting to have a bad day. These fatty fish are packed with omega-3 fatty acids. Omega 3 has anti-inflammatory properties which can change the chemistry of your brain for better function. They also can prevent mental diseases like depression. When you've had a rough day, you may think that getting salty and swimming in unhealthy oil meals from the nearest drive-thru will be a good idea to improve your mood but the truth is having a piece of broiled salmon, or grilled tuna is healthier and far more effective in beating your blues away!
- Oh So Sweet Potatoes
You may have been ignoring this root crop but sweet potatoes are great for sweetening up your sour mood. Sweet potatoes are high in carbs. Most people whose mood's heading down south would usually crave for refined-flour sweets. Carb-rich foods like sweet potatoes are a better choice since they trigger the release of serotonin. This is a brain chemical which regulates mood, sleep and appetite. So don't go heading straight to the aisle where junk foods are when you're feeling down. Instead, bake your very own sweet potato fries. Enjoy them slowly and you'll feel better.
- Yummy Yogurt
Yogurt is considered a superfood because it is packed with healthy nutrients such as calcium, protein and probiotics. Not only can yogurt make your body healthier, it can also lighten your mood. Women who are suffering from PMS mood swings can find relief from eating this delicious and healthy snack!
- Go Bananas
Bananas are filled with tryptophan which is a building block for serotonin or the happy hormone. Its B vitamins help fight stress and its potassium can boost your mental alertness. If your mood needs some picking up, have some bananas!
These are some of the real feel good foods!

My child never went through the terrible twos that other parents warned us about. We braced ourselves for the behavior issues to pop up at three. They never did! We took our kid everywhere and he rarely had meltdowns or tantrums. We didn't have problems putting him in the car seat or getting him to go with the flow unless he truly was tired or uncomfortable. No wonder by the time Rocky was 4, we thought maybe we were the lucky exception and let our guard down. Turns out he was just saving it for us.
The fearsome fours began at about 4 ½. Suddenly there were unanticipated outbursts in public. No falling on the floor fits just moments of general disagreement on a daily basis. Tell him to do something and he refuses. Tell him not to do it, and he simply must break the rule. And now he has the verbal skills to go along with the temper. "IF YOU MAKE ME, I'LL DO IT BUT I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT!" There are sometimes grunting noises and occasional throwing of the toys. Wait, where did this come from? Is this a phase or a long term change? I thought I was prepared for this at 2, no fair throwing this at me at 4!
Fortunately, I have consulted with other parents of 4-year-old boys and found that this delayed display of independence is not really so unusual. There are others who started the sassiness a little later than most. If any of you readers is in the same boat, there is hope that this, too, shall pass. Rocky really is a great kid; so social, affectionate and charming. He seems to get along with most other kids, which is a big relief. For now, I do my best to help him make good choices and to cope with the dissatisfaction of not being able to do what he wants, when he wants. We all know this feeling. It's a tough one even for some adults to handle.

There was a second class I went to during the quilt fair and wished I had not. The class was titled "What to do with all those yoyos". So I thought hey might be fun to see someone else's ideas other than my own. The booklet stated that the teacher had been making yoyos since she was six years old, she is in her 70's or 80's. At the start of class, I was early for this one, I asked if I could take photos while they set up. The lady at that time said" oh I remember you, you are who we thought of when we decided to make this lecture but didn't know how to get a hold of you". So they asked someone else. I was good with that I wasn't into the teaching mode I was in the hang out with daughters and have fun at the fair mode.
I asked a few questions and discovered the only things the teacher had made was the pillow when she was six years old a small yoyo quilt (very pretty I might add) and had 2 half done projects one the quilt with the baskets full of yoyo flowers and the other was a kids t-shirt with five yoyos pinned to it. To look like balloons so she told us as she had not sewn down the yoyos yet or embroidered the balloon strings yet. So it just looked like a bunch of yoyos with pins in them on a red tee. I am not trying to be critical of the lady she is a very nice and a dear friend of mine. But it was not her day nothing came out the way she wanted too she even messed up showing us how to make a yoyo she forgot to fold in her seam allowances, nerves. It got worse from there I so wanted to rescue her nothing like going down in front of a 70 woman who all know how to make yoyo's. How do I know we all knew how to make yoyos the teacher asked who had made yoyos before pretty much everyone raised their hands. Then asked why are you here then we all answered this isn't supposed to be a class on how to make yoyos but how to use them as embellishments. I think that was the start of the down fall and the second was the oops on the yoyo demo a few moments later. I so wanted to rescue her. Bless her heart she did her best she stood in front of everyone for an hour trying to get through her demo from loosing her needle to breaking her thread and with 3 or 4 ladies falling asleep in the back of the room and snoring. I have never seen a person try so hard to get through a demo as she did. I think she should get an award for perseverance.
This one is made by Seiko Higgins
This was made by the friend of the teacher and my friend too Seiko Higgins. She is the person who taught me how to make yoyos years and years ago. I have a mini quilt made by her too, mine is in purples and blues. I don't have a size reference in the photo but those are smaller than a dime and she did them by hand with out clovers tools.
Made by teacher, her brother, and unknown person
Small wall quilt
This one was made by the teacher it is 1/2 done.
Store bought quilt with yoyos added
This one was made by the teachers daughter. She bought a 20 dollar quilt at TJ Max a place like Ross's and embellished it with the yoyos. Cute idea and quick. I love that she went back and added her own seam binding to the already bound quilt to pull it together. It is a nice finishing touch. Oh and I love the colors.
Vintage quilt made by the teachers mother I think I am not sure on this one but I know the teacher didn't make it.
Sewn onto a white cloth backing to reinforce it and make it stronger. I love the colors in this one too. A very nice collection of vintage feed-sack material could look at it for hours just to find out how many fabrics are in it.

Sony came out swinging — in more ways that one — during its CinemaCon presentation Wednesday in Las Vegas, with Tom Rothman sharing news sure to excite fans of the Spider-Man franchise. LEGO movie directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are creating an animated Spider-Man film that will be released on July 20, 2018. They'll write and produce the project, but are not currently signed on to direct. Plus, the new Marvel and Sony live-action film has been dated for July 28, 2017. The new chairman presented footage and news from its slate, and brought to the stage several of its high-profile directors including Chris Columbus and Robert Zemeckis. But a significant amount of time was spent speaking about how the studio plans to overcome its recent challenges. "There were a few stories written about Sony last year," said Rory Bruer, worldwide distribution president, as he took the stage. After a tumultuous past few months due to The Interview hack scandal and the ousting of Amy Pascal, Sony focused its presentation on the latest news about its studio, including the hiring of Tom Rothman at the chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment's Motion Picture Group and the deal that brought Studio 8 onto the lot. "Tom's mission is to identify, develop and produce the next wave of iconic films for audiences worldwide," said Bruer. Rothman was the surprise guest who took the stage near the end of the panel. He came out onstage to the James Bond theme song, and spoke at length about how the studio will move forward after its tumultuous past few months. "Together we have been through as challenging a time as any modern company has faced," he said. "We have more than survived, we have thrived." Rothman also said a special thanks to Pascal. "Amy is a tremendous talent and responsible for so much. I'm thrilled and lucky that she's one of our producers." "It's a new day at the studio and there are mighty things ahead," he said. "I believe in big-ass movies for big worldwide audiences. I also believe in diverse slates." "We're not retrenching and we're not retreating, because we believe, so please believe along with us," he added. Sony showed a comprehensive reel that included never-before-seen footage of The 5th Wave, Money Monster (starring George Clooney), Inferno, Concussion and Ricky and the Flash. The presentation ended with new footage from Eon and MGM's James Bond film Spectre, starring Daniel Craig. Zemeckis, the director of The Walk, took to the stage early on in the presentation to tell the crowd of theaters owners that he "prefers to see movies on a really big screen." The director, who showed a trailer for the drama starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, said he'd been working on the project for 10 years: "I was really looking for a project that should be presented in a theatrical venue." Ang Lee, who is shooting in Georgia, was featured in a special video message about his film Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. He announced that it will be the first film ever shot entirely in the high frame rate of 120 frames per second. It will feature a cast including Kristen Stewart, Vin Diesel and Garrett Hedlund. Chris Columbus, helmer of Pixels, also took the stage to talk about the Adam Sandler-starring film. He debuted never-before-seen footage from the comedy about giant video game characters that are sent by aliens to attack Earth. "Why did I fall in love with it? It's a big summer movie that's not a sequel, doesn't have anybody in spandex and is not a board game," he said of the project. Goosebumps producer Neal Moritz and director Rob Letterman introduced the new project, saying they hoped it was the beginning of a new franchise. Jack Black stars as author R.L. Stine. "It's funny, it's scary, it's thrilling and it's filled with all of R.L. Stine's monsters," said Letterman before a new clip was shown.

Quest Hardware
Wilkins Joinery expands workshop with increased work space Smart Spray and 1Stop service from Quest Hardware
Wilkins Joinery has been operating for over 30 years as a family run business, with Neil Wilkins and his two sons, plus a committed workforce. Wilkins Joinery has a workshop in leafy Weston on the Green, Oxfordshire and work on a wide range of timber based projects locally and further afield, producing high quality bespoke joinery including, windows, doors, staircases, furniture, kitchens and other timber structures like conservatories and orangeries.
As the business has grown Wilkins Joinery has expanded their facilities to incorporate an increased workshop, spray booth area, larger offices and a show room.
The increased work space provided room for a 1Stop™ service from Quest. This is a lockable cupboard that stores all the consumables that Wilkins Joinery need to run their workshop on a daily basis. Wilkins Joinery only pay for the items after they have been opened for use and Quest perform stock checks and re-stock the cupboard as required. Example items in the 1Stop™ are PVA adhesive, abrasives, paint brushes, masking tape, screws and drill bits.
Neil Wilkins, Director at Wilkins Joinery, commented "Having a 1Stop™ means that we have all the things we need to complete our day to day work on hand. When we buy specialist ironmongery we call the Quest customer support team and our items are delivered promptly".
The showroom area demonstrates the craftsmanship involved in creating a range of timber doors and a selection of ironmongery from Quest. This includes a range of traditional style ironmongery, examples are forged metal, which is hand crafted by a blacksmith, black antique and plain Gothic made from malleable iron, available finishes include pewter, black, beeswax and bronze.
The spray booth area has a Smart Spray™ overhead conveyor system from Runners, part of Quest. This simple system has improved the efficiency of spraying and drying timber windows.
Neil added "By hanging the windows from the ceiling and rotating them as needed this makes producing a perfect finish a breeze and saves time as the windows dry quickly, plus it reduces the number of staff needed to complete spray work".
Steve Hanson, Sales at Quest commented "I visit Wilkins Joinery on a regular basis and complete a stock check on the 1Stop™, agree what needs to be replenished and advise on any other items the workshops needs, including power tools, additional consumables and ironmongery. I also keep Wilkins Joinery informed about our latest deals and new products".
Daniel Wells, Director at Quest Hardware commented "It's fantastic to see our customers expand facilities, we always look to develop services that facilitate business growth and deliver workshop efficiencies".

Our Autism and ADHD Research
Professionals and scientists on our Scientific Advisory Committee have conducted numerous research projects and published their findings in scientific journals and at conferences. The following is a list of current research projects being prepared for publication or being undertaken. We are particularly interested in the underlying causes of these disorders.
To investigate the genetic predispositions that underpin these childhood disorders, we have teamed up with SMART DNA, a leading Melbourne Molecular Genetics Laboratory and are currentlty developing a genetics panel specific to Autism and ADHD. This will enable us to tailor the nutrient co-factors to mutated genes more accurately.
To investigate the nutrient deficiencies often linked with these disorders, our associated clinicians use Healthscope Functional Pathology, a laboratory that specialises in tests that assess function, as well as the usual disease markers that mainstream medicine uses. The data from their clinical work is pooled for research purposes.

Individual investors have been cutting back on cash in portfolios, the exact reverse of what Warren Buffett has been doing at Berkshire Hathaway.
Who do you think has got it right?
Cash at Berkshire Hathaway stood at just over US$55 billion at the end of June, an all-time high and two and a half times the level Buffett had said in the past he likes to keep on tap to meet extraordinary claims at his insurance businesses. It was also up more than 50 per cent year on year.
Buffett's green pile is in sharp contrast to individual investors, who've cut cash in portfolios to 15.8 per cent, a 14-year low, according to the July asset allocation survey from the American Association of Individual Investors.
To be sure, businesses and individuals hold cash for different reasons, but Buffett has used Berkshire, in part, as an investment vehicle through which we can interpret his views on markets, or at least the prices of some assets in them.
Berkshire, of course, has some difficulties in putting cash to work that are not faced by your average dentist or lawyer, in that it tends to make very large investments and as such may need to be more patient than smaller fry. So it is quite possible it is waiting for the right acquisition to come along.
It is also similarly possible that Buffett is not happy with the prices, and is biding his time against a day when prices have been marked down. One thing not influencing Berkshire is tax policy, as all of its cash is generated in the US and it is not one of the legion of corporations holding money offshore to avoid a repatriation tax.
The bottom line, though, is that the best investor in the world is going in exactly the opposite direction to a class of people often reputed to be among the worst.
Cash returns are, as we know, lousy; the little that one can get in liquid instruments inevitably being lower than the toll extracted by inflation. And the long-term returns on cash are indeed terrible, lagging behind every asset class and investment strategy this side of setting money on fire.

A lot of children today are diagnosed with a variety of learning disabilities. These learning
disabilities hurt the child's chance academically to succeed to their potential. In response to this, there are many career venues for qualified individuals who wish to help these children. The American Institute of Health Care Professionals, Inc., offers a certification for those qualified in the area of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders (ADHD). ADHD affects the child in a variety of ways that makes it hard for them to pay attention, sit still, or focus. AIHCP's certification in ADHD offers a set of core continuing education attention deficit courses that delve into the basics of ADHD and offer solutions when dealing with and counseling these children. Qualified professionals who take the four courses are then eligible to become certified in attention deficit consulting and counseling with AIHCP. These professionals are educated in many types of interventions that are effective in helping children with attention deficit. They are also an excellent resource for information on the currently used medications that can be of great help in this disorder
