Whether you're presenting a project idea to a client or to the public at large, it can be difficult to know if the vision that you're presenting is lining up with what your audience is imagining.
More and more, Abonmarche is seeing requests for project visualizations. When presenting a project, you can explain it in exhaustive detail, but a drawing or rendering can often communicate so much more.
There are a variety of visualization formats, from animations to renderings.
During a recent Abonmarche project, a homeowner worried that a new roadway configuration would direct runoff onto her property. Although our engineers were confident that no such situation existed, their explanation required the ability to read and interpret contour information. Many homeowners aren't experienced with this type of information, so it was necessary to find an alternative way of explaining the situation.
Using CAD and Blender, Abonmarche's CADD technicians were able to generate this video to help visualize storm water runoff in the existing and proposed conditions. Seeing the runoff was an excellent tool to use to reassure the homeowner.
It's important to note that these visualizations are not meant to have quantitative conclusions drawn from them; instead, they're meant to illustrate explanations and facilitate discussions.
Depending on client need, our engineers and architects can fully render a project with terrain, interior design aspects such as furniture and lighting, and even figures of people. They can also animate a visual walk-through of the entire project.
However, sometimes this level of detail isn't necessary. In those cases, we'll often use Photoshop overlays. Though less sophisticated than a full rendering, Photoshop overlays can nonetheless prove very useful. They can be created quickly and cheaply, making them ideal for smaller projects that require several different visualizations. For example, during a lift station project, nearby property owners expressed concern over their view being affected by the project. Abonmarche was able to provide several images that showed the lift station in its proposed location, along with a variety of different landscaping options to screen the station from view.
Using a variety of visualization options helps create a clear understanding of a project, moving it forward and protecting it from misunderstandings and headaches down the line.
Project Highlight
Photoshop Overlays
The City of South Haven was considering improving a portion of a city parking lot that bordered the structure housing their popular Farm Market.
The City wanted local business owners to see that the back of their buildings didn't just have to be where they parked their cars and housed their dumpsters. Instead, the rear entrances to their builidngs could be attractive and useful features of their business.
Abonmarche created Photoshop overlays showing "before" and "after" views of several businesses included in the project site. The City was then able to illustrate the project idea to the business owners.

The Baltimore County Police Department has scheduled two Basketball Clinics for Thursday, July 19 and Friday, July 20. Kids from ages 8 to 17 are invited to these clinics that are hosted by the Wilkens Precinct.
Walk-in registration begins at 8 a.m. in the gym at Leadership Through Athletics, located at 2900 Hammonds Ferry Road, Halethorpe 21227. The clinic begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. There will be pizza, snacks, water and Gatorade for the young athletes.
The officers will offer their skills and know-how to the kids on the court. They will learn teamwork. As they shoot the hoops, they will see the officers as people, not just someone with a badge and uniform. The person on the court is not just the officer in the neighborhood, but someone to trust in a time of trouble. They will see a person like them. Our officers are great role models.
Download and submit the registration and waiver form (PDF) to participate in the basketball clinic.
Bring your friends. There is nothing like a good game of "b-ball" with friends from your neighborhood!

ISLAMABAD, Jan 23 (APP): Deposits at Pakistan's commercial banks reached Rs11.2 trillion as of December 30, 2016, some 20.4 per cent year-on-year growth in deposits compared to the last three years, Khaleej Times reported.
Banking and equity sector analyst Umair Naseer of Topline Securities
said this is significantly higher than the historical average growth of 12 per cent in the past three years. He added that the strong deposit growth bodes well for banks as it remains the key earning driver in a low interest rate environment. At this level, banks advanced Rs5.6 trillion to the private sector in 2016, which is 17 per cent more than 2015 when only Rs4.8 trillion was sanctioned.
This is a success story for the banking sector as it took place at a
time when some sectors of the economy, including the biggest one such as textiles – are still struggling to match their good performance in the past. At the same time, exports, hit by the international crash of oil and commodity prices and lower domestic output, declined from $24 billion to $19 billion in 2016.
The easy money policy of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the central
bank, has brought down the interest rate to 5.75 per cent – the lowest in 42 years. The banks have also been slashing the profit rate payable to depositors. This, in turn, was holding up a major growth in deposits.
The government of Pakistan, financial institutions and economists firmly
believe that commercial banks should redouble their efforts and undertake a major deposit mobilization campaign so that they can lend more money to the credit-starved private sector, including key industries such as textiles and the stagnant export sector. The government has to share part of the blame for credit shortage in the private sector as it has been borrowing heavily to fill its budgetary gap.
The current year will need redoubling of the deposit mobilization
efforts for growth as there are already some economists who feel the rate may be reduced to the range of 13 to 15 per cent. This is because, in the recent past, the government deposited larger amounts of money in these banks to earn larger profits. But this practice is almost over, it noted.
The SBP recently reported that bank investments rose eight per cent to
Rs7.2 trillion last year. This helped the economy to look up after years of slowdown. It also confirms the fact that the economy is looking up under pro-business Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, whose party will face new parliamentary elections in the first half of 2018. Other key elements which can help him win these elections will be the fast-track implementation of the $61 billion Chinese investment in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
The recently announced FDI inflow from the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other
countries, attracted by CPEC and the improved investment climate in Pakistan, and revival of the overall economy.The Chinese investment in financial and equity sectors and energy is now very substantial. A consortium of three Chinese and two Pakistani companies have bought 40 per cent shares of the PSX – the Karachi Stock Exchange, for $80 million. Besides attracting more Chinese FDI, it is likely to encourage other foreign countries and companies to invest in Pakistani shares and the financial market, the analyst remarked.

In her highly anticipated new novel, Judy Blume, the New York Times # 1 best-selling author of Summer Sisters and of young adult classics such as Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, creates a richly textured and moving story of three generations of families, friends and strangers, whose lives are profoundly changed by unexpected events.\r\nIn 1987, Miri Ammerman returns to her hometown of Elizabeth, New Jersey, to attend a commemoration of the worst year of her life.\r\nThirty-five years earlier, when Miri was fifteen, and in love for the first time, a succession of airplanes fell from the sky, leaving a community reeling. Against this backdrop of actual events that Blume experienced in the early 1950s, when airline travel was new and exciting and everyone dreamed of going somewhere, Judy Blume imagines and weaves together a haunting story of three generations of families, friends, and strangers, whose lives are profoundly changed by these disasters. She paints a vivid portrait of a particular time and place — Nat King Cole singing "Unforgettable," Elizabeth Taylor haircuts, young (and not-so-young) love, explosive friendships, A-bomb hysteria, rumors of Communist threat. And a young journalist who makes his name reporting tragedy. Through it all, one generation reminds another that life goes on.\r\nIn the Unlikely Event is a gripping novel with all the hallmarks of Judy Blume's unparalleled storytelling.\r\n
In the Unlikely Event by Judy Blume was my neighborhood book club's selection for January. As a big fan of Judy Blume in my younger years, I was looking forward to seeing how she would transition into an adult novel. I ended up reading the majority of the book in one sitting, during a long car ride. The thing that struck me the most about this book is that it is based on actual events. Three planes crashed in Elizabeth, NJ, over the course of 58 days in the early 1950's. A teenage Judy Blume was living not too far from the site of the first crash, and while she didn't see it, it certainly had a huge impact on her life. She did a great job of bringing the 50's to life in vivid detail, from what they wore to the way they lived. The characters and locations felt very real and I had no trouble at all envisioning that time period. My only complaint about the story was the overabundance of characters. When we started a new POV, there were times when I would have to pause to remember exactly who that person was, and how they fit in to what was happening. There were some characters who were important and had chapters throughout, while others only served a small purpose (like making us feel the impact of the crashes even more deeply). I really liked the main character, Miri. Her emotions and decisions felt real, even as an adult. I enjoyed hearing about her family, and I also really liked her Uncle Henry, a journalist whose career was suddenly boosted by his reporting of the events. The crashes forever changed many lives in unimaginable ways. But even through the sadness, fear, and anger, there were still moments of hope and happiness. Several characters unexpectedly lost or found love, and some found new beginnings and lives they didn't realize they were capable of leading. There were a few things that happened that even surprised me. I really liked that we got to find out how our main characters ended up years later (this isn't a spoiler, since the book begins 35 years after the crashes). While this one probably won't end up in my "read again and again" pile, I did find it to be a quick and enjoyable read.
"Life is a series of unlikely events, isn't it? Hers certainly is. One unlikely event after another, adding up to a rich, complicated whole. And who knows what's still to come?"

text: THE CHAI PRAKARN LOOP: New Day Loop CM – Phrao – Chiang Dao - CM - Bike 260 KMS I was looking for some new ideas for day loops and David FL suggested this one. Riders: Bob B on his TDM and me (Scotty) on my BMW R1100-Jinxed-GS The trip thru to Phrao on Route 1001 is quite good fun with some great sweepers, when you enter Phrao, you turn left at the two `T` intersections, you ride about 5 KMS until you reach Pa Hin & a police box. Turn right at the police box. There is a sign posted to Nong Khrok Hot Springs. This puts you on Route 1346, a great up and down narrow twisty road (grade 4.5) there is very little traffic on this road, and the verge is overgrown a lot of the way, making the road very narrow, the tarmac is in very good condition. When you eventually reach the T intersection, you turn left onto Route 107 to CM, the twisties just keep coming again and again! At Chiang Dao, we turned off to the Chiang Dao Caves and went to check out the Chiang Dao Nest restaurant, this turned out to be a great idea with great food and fantastic views of the limestone outcrops. Then back to CM, the road surface is great all the way round this loop. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!

Mumbai: Kartik Aaryan began shooting for his next film 'Dostana 2' in Chandigarh on Saturday.
The actor shared the exciting news on his Instagram page where he shared his half-face picture along with the clapper-board.
"#Dostana2 Begins !!!" he captioned the picture.
#Dostana2 Begins !!! 👫🚶🏻♂🌈@karanjohar @collinDcunha#Janhvikapoor @itsLakshya1 pic.twitter.com/1HFHHyxAzb— Kartik Aaryan (@TheAaryanKartik) November 9, 2019
Before commencing the shoot of his much-awaited film, the 'Luka Chuppi' actor shared a post on the photo-sharing application where he can be seen seeking blessings from Karan Johar.
The ace director can be seen blessing him with good luck. "Maa da laadla #Chandigarh nikal gaya #Dostana2 !!
The Dharma rivaaz that all actors need to follow before starting a Dharma film @karanjohar," he wrote.
As soon as the 28-year-old shared the picture, Karan was quick enough to comment. "Haha! That's rubbish! Stop ageing me," he wrote.
Earlier, Janhvi Kapoor who is also an essential part of the star-cast visited Golden Temple in Amritsar along with the director of the film, Collin D'Cunha, to seek blessings.
Clad in blue traditional outfit, the 'Dhadak' star was seen posing with the director, with the beautifully illuminated temple in the backdrop.
The film directed by Collin is penned by Navjot Gulati, Sumit Aroraa, Rishabh Sharma and D'Cunha.
Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham, and Abhishek Bachchan-starrer 2008 release 'Dostana' caused quite a stir among the audience with its unique and humorous plotline and the fact that it dealt with the less talked about subject of homosexuality.

NEW! Face and Body Creme for general dry skin and for use as cream with IASTM techniques!
Now debuting the newest product to the Skin Salvy family! Our Face & Body Creme was designed to soothe all over dry skin and even lips! This is a lighter version of our Emollient with even more jojoba and is best applied after bathing. This is a concentrated product so always start with less and add more as needed. And did you know jojoba and beeswax both have naturally indefinite shelf lives? Your product will maintain it's freshness over time with normal use and NO rancid smell.
Medical professionals: this is an excellent cream for larger areas of application to include deep tissue massage and IASTM techniques.
Why it was developed: Most face creams would cause my face to break out in small welts especially around the chin area. Our Emollient, although perfect for very dry, and cracked skin was too heavy for my face and body. After a year of development and personally testing this product I am still welt free!
Customer Note: A customer who tested the product for us recently commented how well the cream protected the delicate skin around her nose area while fighting a cold. Bonus!
Product details: 2.2oz; screw top container; currently available only in unscented (has slight natural beeswax scent.)
Ingredients: certified organic golden jojoba, unbleached USA beeswax. Nothing else!
Other suggested uses:
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

Customers have shared a lot of tips plus I've learned quite a bit working in the industry. It feels great to share information that may help someone else.

Basically, socially anxious people treat embarrassing situations like they are legitimate life-or-death scenarios. The manner in which they think about circumstances like, going to class, speaking in public, or even wearing a new outfit, is clinically limited. If I were to dissect the thoughts of a truly socially anxious person, they'd look like this: "Everyone will be staring at me." "Everyone will be harshly judging me." "They'll think I'm stupid." "I'll look like an idiot." Now, yes, at some point all of us have engaged in this form of negative thinking, but I'm here to tell you that when social phobics do it, it is clinical and legitimately impairs their daily functioning. These negative thoughts take over to the point where social phobics inevitably avoid many situations to reduce the risk of feeling embarrassed. They'll avoid anything and everything they cannot prepare for. It's "a good thing" if they are visiting a place they know well, but it is a completely different ball game when they exit their comfort zone. On the rare occasion they do agree to go somewhere new or unfamiliar, they will ask agazillion questions beforehand, in an attempt to control the potential of being embarrassed. If they do not feel they have any control over this potential, they will become very anxious and will not go to this new place, often making excuses and cancelling at the last minute. Inevitably, you can imagine that individuals with Social Phobia gradually keep avoiding situation-after-situation until they isolate themselves.
One of the most maddening things to see as a practitioner working with Social Anxiety is how misunderstood these people are. Family and friends of social phobics often get annoyed and frustrated because they believe that the individual is "being ridiculous" in their concerns and preoccupations. Truth is that their bodies are having very real, negative physiological reactions. They are not joking or lying. This is a legitimate disorder. The other unfortunate thing I see among family members of these clients is, enabling. In the face of their loved-one's social anxiety, family members sometimes agree to, for example: pay the cashier, talk to the stranger, or answer the door, in lieu of their loved one. This unfortunately does not help remedy Social Anxiety and instead, facilitates and maintains it.
No one really knows what causes Social Anxiety. Outside of the heredity theory, some psychologists maintain that parenting has something to do with it. Some argue that overprotective parenting and critical parenting are the culprits. Overprotective parents basically limit what their children are exposed to, thereby poorly nourishing traits like grit, resilience, and self-efficacy in social situations. Secondly, some of my socially anxious clients have admitted that critical parenting in their childhood has made them particularly vulnerable and sensitive to any kind of scrutiny in adulthood.
In the face of all of this, you might say, "Well, they should get help." Of course they should. But, think about that for a sec. Given the fact that their phobia is social, they have trouble leaving their comfort zone, even if leaving means getting help. They'll have trouble researching a mental health clinic, calling them, talking to them, and making the appointment. In every single one of these steps, there is potential for embarrassment, making the option of doing nothing, more alluring. It's heart-breaking. Often times, individuals with Social Anxiety turn to alcohol because alcohol can almost immediately bring down their anxiety in social situations. Of course, this raises the risk of alcohol dependency in this population. Also, continued avoidance and isolation over many years can increase the risk of depression and suicide rates.
My recommendation for treatment would be for a friend or family member to become aware of the nature of Social Phobia. This will enhance compassion and decrease judgment and misunderstanding. Then, it would be important that this friend or family member research proper treatment facilities. The type of therapy Social Anxiety clients need is group therapy and exposure therapy. Well, to be honest, group therapy is killing two birds with one stone when it comes to treating Social Anxiety. For socially anxious clients being in a group alone exposes them to their fear. Exposing anxious clients to that which they are afraid of enables the therapist to accompany them and help them reduce their anxiety right in the belly of the beast.
In sum, Social Anxiety is a very real clinical disorder and is often misunderstood. The best thing you can do for a socially anxious person in your life is to begin understanding the nature of this condition, increase your empathy about it, and help them get the treatment they need.

Video B follows the Bund to Nanjing Road in Shanghai shot backwards. It was then edited to be in synch with Video A: as the girl puffs, the scene moves back quickly as if the girl is pushing the Bund farther and father gradually.

Dear Ms. Vicki,
I have been married to an Air Force nurse for over a year now. We've been together for five years but have not lived together for about three.
I am a certified social studies teacher in Pennsylvania for grades 7-12. My wife is stationed in Ohio. Last year, I had to go through a great deal of work to get certified to teach in Ohio as well.
I have been applying feverishly through the Ohio consortium for two years now (first year with a certificate pending and this year with a completed certificate in Ohio) to no avail.
Living apart last year was different because my wife was deployed to Afghanistan. Also, I didn't know anyone in Ohio. I was content in staying in Pennsylvania with family and friends I knew.
Now she is back and staying in a house by herself in Ohio. I am not comfortable with this. She has issues around the house that I could fix. We would like to start a family. At the same time, we both don't want to lose the income I can bring in as an educator with a Master's degree and years of experience teaching.
I'm not the type of person who looks for a handout, and I prefer doing things on my own merit. I just can't find anything. Plus we are getting close to a time in which she can relocate.
I don't know if there is anything the military can do to get me set up at a school and help me again if we do relocate. My fear is 1) not being able to find a job in Ohio, and 2) once I get a job, not finding a job in the next place we go and being stuck in Ohio with a teaching job. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Educated Husband
Dear Husband,
There are 23 states that have adopted laws that make licensing easier for teachers. Ohio is not one of those states. So I applaud you for getting your licensing in order for a new state.
One thing for sure, it's very important for you and your wife to start living together. I'm sure you have a solid relationship, but three years living separately is a long time.
Many military spouses understand what you are going through. It can be very stressful with relocating, maintaining licenses and certifications, and finding employment. It can be frightening, especially when you depend on both incomes to financially make ends meet.
My quick advice is for you to call Military OneSource at 1-800-342-9647 or you can contact them online. They have spouse employment counselors who should help with your situation. Hang in there!
Sincerely, Ms. Vicki
Keep Up with the Ins and Outs of Military Life

Utilising the original London Underground ticket office booths and sympathetically restoring the listed features, the bar will champion independent British-made beers, spirits and soft-drinks. Jordan, Dean and their 12-strong team have been working closely with North Cornwall brewers Harbour to create our own house lager 'Market Helles'
We also have rotational beers from some of the best brewers in the UK, such as Cloudwater, Wild Beer Co and Siren Craft Brew. Sussex brewers Good Things, who are on their way to becoming the first brewery to be off the grid, will also be on tap. Completing the draught line up will be Bermondsey based Hawkes with their Urban Orchard Cider so in total we have six British craft beers on draught available, as well as 20 bottles and cans on offer.
We've kept the cocktail list short and simple, predominantly classics with our own creative spin made using British craft spirits such as Our London Vodka and East London Liquor Company. Alongside the cocktails we have a seasonal wine list that has been built to complement the food offering. Yes, this bar is kind of a big deal.
The team will be using all in-house ingredients where possible to make the drinks as fresh as possible, even making our own cordials. Not only that but we have collaborated with Square Root to create a Market Halls Pink Grapefruit Soda. If you're not a drinker do not fear, we have a wide selection of soft drinks for adults and of course the little ones, as well as free water refilling stations to make sure you stay hydrated whilst encouraging people to be conscious of saving on plastic waste.
The aim is to constantly be evolving evolve and to make sure we are always championing local suppliers and all things British. Your feedback is always welcome and the team won't bite.

Subject: [IP] Bank of America vs security
Begin forwarded message:
From: Bob Frankston <firstname.lastname@example.com> Date: June 22, 2005 12:40:17 PM EDT To: Dave Farber <email@example.com> Subject: Bank of America vs security
I'm in the middle of redoing my screen scraping now that Bank of America is forcing Fleet's Homelink users to convert to their new online banking service. I scrape because the data is mine and they make the information available for only al limited time and only while the particular account is open. That's a big issue in its own right – at least with paper statements and printed checks people can set the own retention policy but that's not my main problem at the moment.
As an aside, looking their site itself they seem to have lots of home brew Jscript code and I've found their seem to have trouble maintaining their DNS entries so their redirects can behave badly. Again, a separate topic.
I'm more concerned with a strange letter I got. It was sent in the clear, of course, because no one seems to care enough to do even simple encryption – while I don't blame CALEA it's a reminder that policies that allow the FBI to spy on us make it even easier for third parties to do so.
The letter was in response to my attempt to setup online transfers. It's the usual thing, emailing me a letter asking me to type back a one-time code to their site to verify that my email address is valid and that I approve the transfer. Everything went smoothly but I decided to look at the received fields in the envelope of the letter (vs the header) and found it to be a bit strange:
Here's the header (with my email address and such information replaced by *'s) [you really need HTML to understand this – again, another topic …]

What is "pula.cashedge.com"? The DNS entry is gone and the number is within IBM's world. I asked about this online to BofA and got a generic response "The e-mail was not legitimate. It was part of a fraudulent scheme to illegally acquire your personal financial information. Authorities shut down the fraudulent site within 2.5 hours of its launch. We are working with the Secret Service to prosecute those responsible." It was from a "Gregory I. Robinson". When I called the 1-877-833-5617 listed in the letter and pressed 1 (not the 5 they commended because I never typed info into a third party site I was told there was no such person. The letter itself had no site information – just the expected confirmation number.
As far as I can tell my own information wasn't compromised – the letter contained no critical information other than the email address I use for just that account. The BoA response seemed canned – misdirecting rather than informative.
Any idea what is going on? If there was such an interception that is very worrisome.
Even more so because of a letter I received after sending an online Query to CallVantage using another unique address and I quickly got an unrelated letter from a third party site that seemed fraudulent. I reported it to the third party's ISV and got a response saying they were shut down but know no more than that.
I view these as very serious breaches because they indicate attacks at the vital points in the system.
I've been mulling how to do edge-to-edge implementations in place of relying on the IP addresses but it's been difficult to come up with an alternative to the DNS as an authoritative mapping of identifiers to IP addresses. Maybe that trust is misplaced …
Any ideas as to what is going on?

The Context of White Supremacy continues to grieve and pay respect to third generation physician, general and child psychologist and attempted counter-racist scientist Dr. Frances Cress Welsing. As Dr. Welsing regularly emphasized the significance of ball games within the context of Supremacy, we'll revisit her 2010 visit to The C.O.W.S. which coincided with the 2010 Super Bowl. As it happens, Peyton Manning was a combatant in that contest as well. She took time to address Timothy Wise's criticism of her work and expounded on why these sporting activities demand so much time and energy. Even though six years has elapsed, this broadcast continues to offer a wealth of quality information. We'll also make time for commentary on the present battle between Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers and Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.

NSCDC arrests 4 alleged notorious kidnappers in Adamawa
The Adamawa Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), has arrested four alleged notorious kidnappers that terrorise Mubi and its environs.
Nuruddeen Abdullahi, NSCDC Commander in the state, announced this when he paraded the suspects on Monday, in Yola.
Abdullahi said the command made the arrest last Friday in collaboration with the Nigerian Army and Hunters Union of Mubi.
He said the successful arrest followed a tip-off by patriotic citizens from the area.
"Today we are parading four suspected notorious kidnappers that for a long time have been terrorising people in Mubi and its environs.
"All the four suspects confessed to have been involved in several kidnapping activities around Maiha and Mubi South local government areas respectively.
"The suspects are now with the Intelligence and Investigation Department for further interrogation, after which their case would be forwarded to the office of the Director of Public Prosecution for appropriate action," Abdullahi said.
The command urged good people of the state to forward any useful information about any suspected activity or crime to its nearest office across the state.
He equally urged the community to be security conscious at all time as security was the responsibility of all.

Aviate review: a ''living'' launcher that adapts to your daily life
There's so many launchers for Android that it's hard to keep track of the huge plethora available on Google Play. That being said, many are quite similar in appearance and function. Aviate went down a different road: it's a launcher that will automatically adjust to your environment and your needs. I took a closer look at the San Francisco native app and here's what I discovered.
The concept behind Aviate
Aviate automatically adapts to the time of day and your location and changes your home screen to match. In the morning you'll gain quick access to the weather, upcoming appointments, alarms and apps for your morning routine, like e-mail reading or news feed. If you're on the go, places will appear from the area in which you are in such as restaurants or shops. Once at work, you'll be provided with shortcuts for creating appointments, writing e-mails and other important apps needed for your job. And after a hard day's work, Aviate transforms and shows you apps for evening entertainment and the alarm clock when it's time to go to bed.
Starting Aviate and Functions
Once you've started Aviate for the first time, it will brief you on its various functions, after which you land on the first of the three different home screens where each function is explained:
- Swipe from right to left to bring your app collections to the front. Aviate scans your installed apps and automatically assigns them to different categories, but a subsequent reordering is, of course, also possible.
- Another swipe from right to left of the display will show all your installed apps in alphabetical order. If you long press on an app, you can either place the app on the home screen or in an app collection. Should the app be one installed from the Play Store, you are also able to uninstall it.
- Swiping from left to right opens the menu page on the home screen where you will find ''Spaces'' which allows you to change your current environment. Here you'll also find the Aviate settings and nearby places.
- Tapping on the main bar on the home screen opens further details, such as weather, access to the apps from the home screen and alarm clock.
Customizing Aviate
Aviate isn't a launcher which allows a lot of customization, which was done intentionally in order to keep it simple. You are able to change a few things in settings like choosing between a light and a dark design and a long press on the shown weather will change the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius and back.
Long pressing on the large picture on your home screen will present you with the following options:
- Change or Remove Photo: you can either replace the displayed photo with another one or delete it from the home screen.
- Add Photo: as the name suggests, here you can add new photos to the home screen.
- Add widget: all your Android widgets are compatible with Aviate and you can easily select one from a list. Widget sizes will be adapted by Aviate so they may appear larger than they actually should (4x2 instead of 4x1), however manual resizing isn't possible.
Aviate Launcher is an innovative concept, which aims to facilitate the user's daily routine and work day with your smartphone. The Launcher recognizes, for example, when you're at work and displays relevant information in relation to the context which the user would have to otherwise spend a lot of time accumulating. Simplicity is the keyword here and Aviate can be best described as the Google Now for Android launchers to give you a better idea of what this app actually is. Power users might not find Aviate to be their cup of tea, since it lacks a certain amount of freedom that they are used to, seeing as there are almost no customization options. This app is targeted more towards those who don't want to spend a lot of time arranging apps and changing settings and would rather get on with their day with a smartphone side-kick to help them stay organized.
Please note: Aviate is currently still in beta and only works if you have received an invitation for the app, which you can request directly from the app. According to the developers, the app is compatible with Android 2.3 and higher.
Here is their product video for you to check out!
Further information and download links can be found on the Aviate home page.

"Sunshine, good food, a beautiful location, and hours of yoga every day - it sounded to good to be true before I went and the reality was even better. I have returned home with a lightness of spirit as well as body that enables me, as Jessie says at the end of her classes, "to turn up the edges of my mouth and smile to myself". Radiance is certainly what it's been about for me, and each day since I have returned home I have given thanks that I was able to spend such a week exploring my mind, body and sprit in such beautiful surroundings, with the truly exceptional group of people that Jessie has gathered around her. An experience definitely to be repeated."
Nicky, 40, Environmental Campaigner - Byron Bay Yoga Retreat
"I cannot thank the team of Radiance Retreat enough for the whole experience of the retreat. Yoga has changed my life. I feel so in tune with my body and mind more than ever. You introduced me to a diverse selection of food that was delicious. I have continued eating organic food and have not gone back to old habbits. I have had comments from people saying how well I look which is an extra bonus because I feel terrific. I practise yoga every morning using Jessie's dvd core strength and my back which was injured is nearly back to 100%. Thank you all for your warmth and wisdom."
Nadine, 36 years old, teacher - Byron Bay

Capturing the Milky Way: Kodachrome Basin by Night
The name Kodachrome speaks to a photographer's mecca. And even if Kodachrome film has all-but-disappeared in the digital age, the landscape of Utah's Kodachrome Basin State Park — and its beckoning night sky — is timeless.
Tips on how to take pictures of stars:
- Preparation is key: For professional and amateur photographers like Prajit Ravindran, preparation for a night time photography session begins with an understanding of the earth's revolution, the moon cycles and a constellation map in hand.
- Scout your location: The hours leading up to sunset consist of scoping out unique formations, imagining the moon's rising path and preparing a basecamp. As the sun descends, the discovery continues. New locations and angles reveal themselves as the evening sky begins its transformative traverse across the landscape.
- Be ready for the darkness: Another component, perhaps the most important, is darkness. Not just any type of night sky darkness, but the blackest-of-black kind you only find far away from the world's oft-consuming light pollution in one of Utah's certified dark sky parks.
With a growing number of certified International Dark Sky Parks across the state — currently the most of anywhere in the world — Ravindran identified Utah as the ideal place to test the creative passion for astrophotography he discovered seven years ago.
"The night skies over here are some of the best I've seen," he says.
On a recent trip to Kodachrome Basin State Park, he described the park as an ideal location, crowdless and full of "unique shots nobody has seen before."
Now a resident of Utah, Ravindran often travels around Utah — from Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon national parks to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park and the Spiral Jetty — to share an intimate creative experience with close friends, or to enjoy an evening of solitude with only the transportive experience of photographing a star-filled sky to keep him company.
For Ravindran, part of the excitement is putting his own spin on night photography. A camera set to a long, slow exposure is essential for capturing the Milky Way in all its detail, but a burst of inspiration might cause him to pull out a bright flash, the immediacy of which reminds him that, for a quick moment, he is capturing a spectacle that is as old as time itself.
Contemplating the celestial sphere gives Ravindran a cherished escape from the world's pressures and "the daily stress of life." Under the night skies, time passes as slowly as the shutter click on a drawn out exposure. Night photography challenges you to slow down, to unwind (unless you're winding up an old case of Kodachrome film) and, most importantly, to look up.

Dark Sky Parks
Long after the last drop of twilight fades to black, the next phase of the the earth's rotation begins to shine. It is a part of the 24-hour cycle that many developed places have lost to the constant shine of the cityscape — most Americans live in an area where they cannot see the Milky Way due to lighting from cities. But no matter where you are in Utah, there's a certified International Dark Sky Park nearby.
Red Rock & Dark Skies: Stargazing the National Parks
Do everything you'd normally do on a National Park road trip, but when the stars come out, so do you. Red rock by day and serene dark skies by night, this stargazing trip includes nighttime splendor at certified International Dark Sky Parks.
Dark Skies of Bryce Canyon
Bryce Canyon is the ultimate place to experience the splendor of the night sky. Protected by a special force of park rangers and volunteer Utah astronomy enthusiasts, Bryce Canyon is known as the last grand sanctuary of natural darkness and has one of the nation's oldest astronomy programs.
Quick Fact
Of the 50 accredited or in-process International Dark Sky Parks and Communities that are part of a catalogue of the finest dark skies in the developed world (called The Great Western Starry Way), fully half of them are in Utah.

Back to School Bulletin Board
I can't believe that there is only one month left of summer. This has me thinking about a theme for the back to school PTA bulletin board. I thought I would share with you a couple of boards that I have done in the past if you are looking for some inspiration too.

Baby Basket Idea
I love putting together gift baskets. My mother has been an influence in that department sharing with me that the presentation of something should be as important as the gift itself almost shaming me into making sure that all packages are carefully planned and not just thrown into a bag with some tissue. (I still do this sometimes but only when I'm in a hurry ~ sorry mom) For big gifts like first babies though, I have to put in the extra effort.
I thought I would share this quick and easy way to personalize a plain basket. I found this unfinished wood letter at Hobby Lobby, painted it the same color as the basket and hot glued it on. A basket is a good choice too for a babies room for storage of small baby supplies. White is a classic choice if you don't know the colors of the room. I know this couple was using green and yellow so I just purchased some coordinating ribbon and tissue to embellish the variety of items in the basket. So even though all of the gifts are not color coordinated, the colored ribbon ties it all together. I hope baby Callahan likes it!!!!

For Dog Lovers ~ Pet Bed Shopping
Pet beds... let's face it, they are a necessity that everyone with a dog needs to buy, but they are, however, in most cases not very attractive. (A designer's nightmare ~ those items that people NEED but you don't want out in the open for people to see.) I guess there are more to choose from than there used to be. Now with the Internet, you don't have to go into the pet products super store only to find the thin, sad, ugly fabric version of a bed that used to be the norm. Even the big pet stores are trying by adding designer merchandise like Martha Stewart's line of doggie supplies. Regardless, it does still take some effort to find a good one. This is one of those times when I wish I was more of an entrepreneur and I could come up with my own line. Nope, too lazy. Next option, I could sew my own, but zippers still intimidate me and for a pet bed, this is a necessity in order to clean it. The only option left... countless hours of shopping on the Internet. I'll save you some time and show you what I found.....

Madhuri Shukla creates drawings, sculptures, and animation with a wiry and spontaneous line quality to explore the space between a childlike aesthetic and dark narratives.
Shukla's work focuses on when and why abuses are accepted and even celebrated in cartoons but are repulsive in 'real' life. A background in Urban Studies influences her work. In this series Shukla engages themes of difference, racism and violent crime. Her images read rapidly and easily on an initial and superficial level–maybe even register as cute–but upon thoughtful inspection convey an articulated meaning.

For years, under the stewardship of WongDoody, Alaska Airlines' advertising built a reputation of being just a bit off the center line. From chickens randomly picking fares to smiling customer service agents playing banjos, there was always a sense of anticipation that the Seattle-based airline would bring out the quirk.
In 2016, Mekanism picked up the account as the brand's creative agency of record and subsequently ended up opening an office in the Emerald City in Capitol Hill as a result.
While the initial work from Mekanism was very good, it was a departure from funny. Now, and after the airline's merger with Virgin America, it appears as though the levity is back with a series of 15-second ads in the brand's new "Fly smart. Land happy." campaign that packs a refreshing creative touch.
Like Alaska Airlines' historical ads, it's difficult to pick a favorite from this bunch because each is relatable and leans into the brand's reputation (they have been named top U.S. airline based on customer satisfaction 11 years in a row by J.D. Power) of giving fliers more.
Whether its perks in a new job, a really short pony ride, a disinterested spinning instructor or a tiny entree, the creative and scenarios hit the mark and are surprisingly dense, even in such a short window of time.
"Everyone feels the stress of picking an airline: flights are either cheap with a no-frills, lackluster inflight experience, or a slightly better experience with a high price tag," said Natalie Bowman, managing director of marketing and advertising for Alaska Airlines and an Adweek Seattle Brand Stars honoree. "It can feel as ridiculous as your employer skimping on basic work benefits, or overpaying for a bad workout. The campaign challenges the flyers to ask for more out of their flying experience and positions Alaska to deliver unparalleled value to its customers."
On the production end, the crew was primarily female-led with director J.J. Adler, editor Ali Mao and colorist Jill Bogdanowicz, and is part of Mekanism's commitment to Free the Bid, the Alma Harel-led initiative that advocates for equal opportunities for women to bid on commercial jobs.
"We're proud to elevate female voices in such underrepresented roles as directors, editors, and colorists—and even more proud to have such a talented team as part of this production," said Laura Wimer, Mekanism Seattle's creative director.
The vibe on set, as Bowman put it, was filled with "collaborative energy. And even small decisions were made together to elevate the creative." Additionally, talent commented on how different the production felt, especially the more positive energy from the female-led crew.
The campaign airs tonight during the Oscars across the West Coast and will also feature OOH and online content.

Will T-Mobile Overtake Sprint?
Now that Sprint and T-Mobile have called off merger plans, T-Mobile's outspoken CEO John Legere has made it very clear he sees his one-time potential partner as the next target to take down.
The chief executive, who never tires of tweaking his competition on Twitter , used the social media site to share his goal for T-Mobile, which is to overtake Sprint and become the No. 3 wireless carrier in the U.S.
Legere punctuated his tweets with the hashtag #OvertakeSprint. The tweet below is one of many using that tag Legere has posted, but it's typical of his sentiment.
- John Legere (@JohnLegere) August 7, 2014
Legere may be a bit of a blowhard, but his company has been rising steadily while Sprint has moved mostly in the opposite direction. Not merging may make Legere's goal of catching up to wireless phone leaders AT&T and Verizon a distant dream, but passing Sprint is not only possible, it's probable.
Where do the two companies stand?
In terms of subscribers, T-Mobile had more than 50 million at the end of the second quarter, up from 44 million a year earlier. Sprint had 54 million subscribers at the end of the second quarter. The key difference is that T-Mobile has added more than 1 million new subscribers in each of the past five quarters, while Sprint's user base has grown anemically -- or declined -- in most quarters. In the second quarter of 2014, Sprint lost 220,000 subscribers. The company posted a slight gain in 2013. However, Sprint has had success with its Framily plan, and it may be turning a corner.
Why is T-Mobile Gaining?
Legere may be full of bluster, but his company has backed that swagger with lower prices, more transparent billing, and constant innovation. T-Mobile's "Un-Carrier" strategy brands the company as being different than its competitors. When your industry is disliked by the public, that's a sound plan.
But it hasn't been all talk on T-Mobile's part. Legere has simplified billing while making radical moves like offering streaming music that does not count against data caps. He also has T-Mobile paying early termination fees for customers fleeing another carrier, which removes a major barrier to entry.
While Sprint has had some success with its Framily Plan -- an offering that delivers lower prices if friends and family join along with you -- it's overly complicated compared to how T-Mobile prices its offerings. In an industry where surcharges and mysterious costs are the norm, Legere has eliminated data overages and made every effort to not offer complicated pricing schemes -- which Framily certainly is.
Legere calls out his competitors in an industry that has always operated under an implied collusion. This has forced lower prices across all carriers and sent customers flocking to T-Mobile.
Can Sprint turn it around?
Sprint Chairman Masayoshi Son did not hide the fact that one of the reasons he pursued a merger with T-Mobile was that he wanted Legere to run the combined company. He never expressed similar affection for Sprint CEO Dan Hesse, and as soon as the merger fell apart, Son replaced Hesse with Marcelo Claure -- an outspoken leader who has been compared to Legere. Claure may be the right man for the job, taking over at a time when the worst is behind Sprint and the failings of AT&T and Verizon leave plenty of room for two competing upstarts.
The Sprint chairman praised Claure's "management experience, passion, and drive to create the strongest network and offer the best products and services in the wireless industry."
Though he praised Hesse for his leadership as he booted him out the door, the statement was clear: If Sprint can't buy T-Mobile, it needs a leader who can fight bluster with bluster.
Will T-Mobile overtake Sprint?
While the worst may be behind Sprint, it needs more than Framily to slow T-Mobile's momentum or gain much of its own. But with 4 million subscribers between the two, simply having a quarter where it doesn't lose customers would go a long way toward keeping Sprint at No. 3.
In the short-term, T-Mobile should keep gaining. But it's unlikely to make up 4 million subscribers in the next quarter. T-Mobile added 4.4 million subscribers in 2013, while Sprint gained about a half million. If those numbers hold steady for the next 12 months, then the two companies would be essentially tied. It seems likely that T-Mobile will keep moving forward at a similar pace, since its growth has been steady for almost two years.
What will happen with Sprint is a wild card. Past results have been bleak, but a new CEO and any momentum built up around Framily could help it hold off T-Mobile for the next year.
Legere, however, is unlikely to stand pat. While his past efforts have mostly focused on winning customers from AT&T and Verizon, if he specifically targets Sprint -- as he appears willing to do -- he may be able to move the numbers by adding customers at Sprint's expense. It's hard to bet against Legere, given his track record. At some point, it seems likely that T-Mobile will become the No. 3 wireless carrier in the U.S., but Claure still has time to stop that from happening.

Your Once In a Lifetime Opportunity To Be Mentored By A Multi-Millionaire
Without Paying a Dime, All While Shooting Your Income High To The Sky
Follow the steps to qualify yourself for Damian Prosalendis's mentoring
Just an hour of Damian's very limited time, normally costs businesses and individuals $3000
Step 1
Join Damian's four social media communities below:
Step 2
Join Damian's private email list for exclusive, nowhere else to be found, secrets of Damian.
Step 3
Join Damian's private community of "New Age Conquerors"
Q1: Why do I have to complete these steps?
Damian's is a massively successful entrepreneur. Because of that there must be a process in place to disqualify the ones who are lazy, make excuses and are looking to get something for nothing.
Damian is willing to mentor individuals that are worth it, but not people he barely knows, who have done nothing for him, and only want to take away his time and resources.
If you are serious, you will complete the above steps and your life will change forever.
If you are not serious, you can leave this page now, because you are not worth Damian's time and attention.
Q2: What's the catch? Is there any trap?
Damian does not charge anything for a great chunk of all the valuable advice he provides across his social media and various websites.
You could literally change your life, make more money, achieve your goals, attain financial freedom, merely by following his teachings, without ever having to give him a penny.
Damian has been through lots of trial and tribulation and lived in complete poverty. A mentor opened his eyes, and his life changed forever. Damian hopes that he will change lives in the same way. This is his contribution to society.
Q3: I ended here by chance. Why do I want to learn from Damian?
How often do you have a chance to be mentored by a multi-millionaire, who is in the top 1% of the world?
Damian is not just any millionaire, but also the Youngest Self Made Greek Digital Millionaire in History, who the world class Forbes Magazine called "a resounding success" and International Business Times an "elite college dropout" like Twitter's Evan Williams and Apple's Steve Jobs.
Q4: What if I don't want to start a business? Can I still learn from Damian?
Not everybody is cut out to be an entrepreneur. You may want to become an artist and make money off of that. You may want to have a successful career and land a prestigious job. You may want to play competitive sports.
It doesn't matter.
What Damian teaches you at the core, is not just business, but the Science of High Achievement.
How does a formerly broke, and almost homeless 19 year old getting paid $1 per hour transforms into a 21 year old millionaire, traveling the world, and running 3 businesses?
The principles that underly that transformation, are directly transferable to any field in which you strive to be great.
Damian is also a National Kickboxing Champion, professional dancer, martial artist, and bodybuilder. He is the internationally renown author of Make Moves or Make Excuses. He is soon to be worth $100,000,000 by the time he is 25.
Anything he touches turns into gold, and it's not just business, although that's his main priority. It could be for you too, but it doesn't have to.
Learning from Damian means that everything YOU TOUCH, turns to GOLD too!

Boris Continuum 8 sharpening/film grain & Sorenson x264 for DSLR
One thing that really grinds my gears about the majority of DSLR footage that is seen online is that people grade it with out remembering that film has range. Often times they'll make it super contrasty and end up blowing out the highlights which just ends up making it look even more like video. On top of that most H.264 encodes for the web will shift the gamma of the resulting file, ruining a good grade. So what we have here is one way I make sure my footage looks like it has more range than usual and ensure that my encode is exactly how I intended it to be. This was random on the fly footage, so no tripod.
I recently upgraded my suite of apps to the latest Boris Continuum and Sorenson Squeeze. What you see here is a selection of footage taken around Berekely, CA and San Antonio, TX. Shot on the Canon 7D with a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 and a Helios 50mm f1.8. The exteriors have a very old ND.9 4×4. Shot using the great Cinema picture profile. I edited the media natively in Avid MC6, applied a Boris fine film grain, then gave each shot a light grade. I then applied a Boris fine sharpening filter globally, transcoded to DNxHD 175x, and sent the sequence to Sorenson Squeeze for encode. I modified the youtube 1080 x264 preset to use a 2 pass constant bit rate at 10mb/s, and selected the film grain option to protect against the compression washing out the look I had applied. X264 won't shift the gamma of the resulting video, and has always produced the best results at super low file sizes in my experience.

Cybersecurity firm offers users reimbursement for ransomware infections
Security firm SentinelOne is confident it can beat any of today's ransomware — and is willing to put money behind that claim.
The company is offering a new service that will cover up to US$1 million in damages for any customers infected by ransomware.
SentinelOne is calling it the "Cyber Threat Guarantee" and treating it like an extended warranty that customers can buy starting Tuesday.
However, the company is convinced it won't have to make any pay outs, said Jeremiah Grossman, its chief of security strategy. SentinelOne's failure rate in stopping ransomware attacks is "way less than 1 percent," he said in an interview.
