Prosper Secures an Additional $20 Million
Series C Financing led by DAG Ventures and Meritech Capital Partners
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Prosper(www.prosper.com), America's first people-to-people lending marketplace, today announced the closing of a $20 million Series C financing round led by DAG Ventures and Meritech Capital Partners with participation by existing investors: Accel Partners, Benchmark Capital, Fidelity Ventures and Omidyar Network. This financing brings the total amount of capital raised by Prosper to $40 million.
"Prosper is well positioned to capitalize on a tremendous market opportunity," said Paul Madera, Managing Director of Meritech Capital Partners. "Prosper has the team, technology, and long-term drive to transform the multi-billion dollar consumer lending industry."
"An enormous market opportunity combined with a terrific business model is a recipe for success," said John Cadeddu of DAG Ventures. "We think Prosper has both of these ingredients. But more importantly, we believe Prosper has the team to build an enduring, leading company."
"We are appreciative of our new and early investors for their support and commitment," said Chris Larsen, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Prosper. "This latest round of financing provides us with considerable resources toward maintaining our leadership position and continuing to rapidly grow the Prosper marketplace."
Since launching in February 2006, Prosper's membership has grown to over 330,000 individuals with $70 million in loans funded in the Prosper marketplace. To find out more about Prosper, visit www.prosper.com.
About Prosper
Prosper (www.prosper.com), America's first people-to-people lending marketplace, was created to make consumer lending more financially and socially rewarding for everyone.
The way Prosper works is intuitive to people who have used eBay. Instead of listing and bidding on items, people list and bid on loans using Prosper's online auction platform. People who want to lend on Prosper set the minimum interest rate they are willing to earn and bid in increments of $50 to $25,000 on loan listings they select. In addition to criteria commonly used by institutional lenders, such as credit scores and histories, people who register as Prosper lenders can consider borrowers' personal stories and group affiliations. Groups on Prosper are critical to bringing people together for the common goal of borrowing at better rates. People who want to borrow on Prosper create loan listings for up to $25,000 and set the maximum rate they are willing to pay a lender. Then the auction begins as Prosper lenders bid down the interest rate. Once the auction ends, Prosper takes the bids with the lowest rates and combines them into one simple loan to the borrower. Prosper handles all on-going loan administration tasks including loan repayment and collections on behalf of the matched borrowers and lenders.
Prosper was co-founded by Chris Larsen, co-founder of E-LOAN, and John Witchel, technology entrepreneur. Prosper's marketplace platform is patent pending.

|Nina Einstein
October 20th, 1992
Sailor Senshi - Sailor Gaea
Todai University 03rd yr.
Tokyo, Japan
Nina is extremely intelligent for she spends her time mostly tapping away at a computer working on calculations and robotic type projects as well as other projects dealing with creating bombs and such. Just for research purposes not take out the world purposes. She's made a few inventions that have tested out to work perfectly. Nina's also a consistent bookworm is usually reading something to do with her research also. When she's not doing her own thing, she used to enjoy hanging around Euphemia but since her death, she's been trying to do other things as a means to distract herself from the very idea that her first real best friend is gone and only she knows how and why. So she spends her days studying for the Todai Entrance exam. She does, however, owe her life to Setsuna Meiou for saving her from being executed but unlike Euphie, she shares no romantic feelings towards the older woman. She is only grateful but nothing beyond that. In some ways, Nina may look like your average bookworm with no friends but in some ways that's partially true. While she's constantly working away on her own projects, she does at least have one friend which is Princess Euphemia Ci Solaris aka Sailor Eclipse.
Because Euphemia saved her when they were in junior high, she had come to rely on her for emotional and mental support. From that point on, she'd dedicated her own life to protect Euphie's. She even lacked self-confidence in herself when it came to a lot of things and always asked Euphie for help. When Euphemia died, she became greatly unstable and the mentioning of the very name of the one who killed the person she cared about the most just sends her into a blind rage where she lashes out at others and unintentionally hurt their feelings. From then on, she can't stand to be around people who are in love or those who don't know the first thing about it. She finds it insulting. Just like she did when it came to Milly's situation and her engagement. Although Milly broke it off, Nina was tired of hearing the other girl's excuses for not breaking it off sooner if she didn't love the guy she was engaged to be married to. She mostly stays to herself now and has no plans of falling in love with anyone as Euphemia is the only one who has her heart. Even though she's no longer living.
Early LifeEdit
- Nina Einstein was born Okinawa, Japan, where she was raised by her parents, Shendou Einstein, her father who is Japanese by blood and Caroline Einstein, her mother who is American by blood but moved to Japan because of the fact that she was pregnant with Nina, causing her to marry, the child's father. Both of her parents are incredibly intelligent inventors and scientists having met at a convention in New York before they even conceived a child. But since that'd happened, Caroline agreed to move to Okinawa with Shendou and marry him for she didn't want to have a child out of wedlock. And to this day the both of them are still very much happily married and have no other children other than Nina. On the other hand, considering that her parents needed jobs to pay bills in the house they live in, Nina during most of her childhood was usually left alone with a nanny to watch over her until her parents came on and took over. Because of this, it has been hard, over the years for Nina to really connect with them considering they're big time scientists. It'd caused her to pretty much suffer in having to live up to their expectations since her parents are well known by other scientists and inventors.
- This greatly causes Nina to have very low self-esteem because people expect so much out of her and she's only one person. Granted she started at the age of ten doing small projects of her own and it caught her parents' attention, while it lasted. For she really just wants to spend some real time with her them instead of everyone else being around them. And in doing so from the age of ten, she began doing her only little projects and tests, mainly in the field of robotics and calculations. She's just as smart as her parents but not at their particular level. Instead of going out and having fun like most her age, Nina always stayed inside and studied to her heart's content, never really getting involved in much activity with other people. Even though she'd gone to public schools, she always ended up alone and if the other students did talk to her, it was only to use her as an academic tool to help them pass their own studies because they were too lazy to do it themselves. So they used Nina to do it. At first she didn't mind tutoring her peers but as she got up in age, she stopped because she wasn't making any real friends and no matter what she did and became interested in, her parents were still too busy to do anything with her.
Becoming Sailor GaeaEdit
- By the age of thirteen is when Nina's life had changed because that is when she received her powers to being Sailor Gaea, making her a Sailor Senshi descendant from the planet of Jupiter. She was attacked in Jr. High School when a bunch of random youma infiltrated the building and began hurting everyone, much to her dismay and horror. She felt helpless and unable to do something to protect everyone as well as scared to protect her own self from the creatures. And of course they attacked her, using whatever they could to drain the energy out of her completely. Nina thought she was about to die until another Senshi that was the same age as her came to her rescue and saved her while also presenting Nina with her own henshin pen to transform. Obviously scared, Nina took the henshin pen and transformed being able to help the other Senshi defeat the youma and save everyone in the school. The Senshi that saved her was Sailor Eclipse also being Euphemia Ci Solaris. Nina was forever grateful for Euphie helping her which from that point on, she dedicated her time to try and find ways to protect Euphie. She develops a homoerotic crush on Euphie as the two spent more time together and got to know each other more.
Friendship & Crush on Euphemia Ci SolarisEdit
- She subsequently comes to rely on Euphemia for emotional support and sexual release (i.e. masturbation and/or humping a table). Both girls were of the age of fourteen when they first met and ever since then, they've been close friends. Hanging together as well as training together. Well not so much training since Euphie pretty much likes to skip out on it because of the simple fact that she doesn't like fighting. Neither does Nina either so she avoids having to use them as much as possible unless she really has to or for experimentation purposes, given that fact that she's now aware that there are magics and other types of forces out there in the world besides humans. Even though she'd made a friend in Euphie, she was still a bookworm who now is going to Juuban High School and is an expert in robotics and other types of scientific research. Her intelligence, obsession in her work, and lacking some common sense causes her to still be alone but thinking of Euphemia automatically changes that. Despite the fact that she's being relied on by her high school peers to help them which she refuses to do often. With this being said, not only does she not like things that can't be proven or explained until scientifically proven, she also hates it when people ask her often to help them with their work since it is obvious the class she's in, she's smarter than most of her classmates. She spends so much time with Euphie, their classmates sometimes question if Nina may have a crush on Euphie which she of course denies to a great extent and tells everyone they're only friend and nothing more. It's hard for her to talk about her feelings with others without judging her because of them.
- To this day, she hasn't told her parents about her powers as a Sailor Senshi but they are aware of the fact that she's friends with Euphemia which they're happy that Nina has found someone to confide in and talk to when they're not around. Still, she wishes that they could at least spend some time with her, even a few minutes would do. So to help her get through the day, she always hangs around Euphie. Her powers are a little stronger that Euphemia's though she's not at the level of strength like the other Senshi while Euphie's only at the first level in her powers considering since they don't fight as much, their powers haven't had a chance to evolve. Nina in a way is trying to find a scientific way for them both to evolve, hence her current project which she is secretly doing without anyone's knowledge. Euphemia's even told Nina about how that she's a princess of the Moon Kingdom (or so Euphie thinks she is), and that since the current princesses, who are also her three half-sisters, don't want the throne, it's up to her to take it. This is about as much information Nina knows about her taking the throne of the Moon Kingdom. She's even aware of the Venus Kingdom since Euphie has taken her there time after time. And since she saved Nina's life, she's going to help Euphie achieve her goal to be able to help everyone seeing as how she feels someone like her cannot. But she'll be there every step of the way helping as best she can and watching over Euphemia.
War in Britannia KingdomEdit
- Euphie told Nina of her plans to ditch going to the Venus Kingdom for a while in search of her half-sisters. While she feels it's dangerous to reveal herself to them so openly, Nina's making it her obligation to make sure that nothing goes wrong. And so, with what little money she had on her, she left her parents' home, (while also leaving them a note of her departure) in search of Hinata Sou Dorms to move into the dorms because she knows that's where Euphemia is headed. Euphemia had told Nina of her plans about going to ditch the Venus Kingdom for a while in search of her half-sisters. Nina believed it to be dangerous for her to reveal herself so openly but was going to make it an obligation to make sure that nothing went wrong. And so, she'd moved into the Hinata Sou girls dorm (before it was renovated), because she knew that's where Euphemia was going to be. But neither she nor Nina knew what was to come. Especially when it came to meeting the other daughters that Queen Serenity of the Moon Kingdom had. If neither wanted them wanted the throne to the Moon Kingdom, then Euphemia was more than willing to give up her life on Earth to rule it. At least until a suitable ruler was found. Nina hated that idea because she was already fully aware that the current Senshi laws (before they were rewritten), required ALL Senshi to follow in the footsteps of their past lives. That means, their present day futures were already decided for them.
- If they were to get married and have a family with someone, then that is what they had to do. Nina really didn't like the idea of anyone marrying Euphie, much less touching her. But she knew she wanted to bring the family feud to an end so she had to respect what her friend had to do even if she was against it. However, it'd gone from wanting to rule the Moon Kingdom to wanting to help a planet kingdom known as Britannia who had been in the midst of war for years. She was really afraid for Euphemia then because she knew there was a possibility that she would die in such a violent atmosphere. Nina pleaded with her to just leave it alone but she didn't. And in the process, she'd met a young soldier there by the name of Suzaku Kururugi. She'd gain immediate dislike of him because of his Haumean/Honorary Britannian status and plus he had gotten close to Euphemia when she could not. In fact, she was intimidated by him. Mostly due to the simple fact that Euphie was falling for him and not her. She'd known the other girl longer than Suzaku and already they were in love and everything. It'd broken her heart to see the two of them together and at one point attacked Suzaku but apologized for it later on when the three of them worked things out. Nina was willing to accept the fact that she couldn't have Euphemia and was going to start moving on. She'd made Suzaku promise to protect her friend anytime she was in the Britannia Kingdom, seeing as how she refused to use her powers to teleport and step foot into such a violet world. She was fine being on Earth and trying to pass high school.
- Following Euphemia's death, Nina became emotionally and mentally unstable. Going against her own words in a misguided attempt to avenge Euphie, she transformed into her Senshi form, teleported herself to the Britannia Kingdom to kill Zero, the man that was responsible for her death. She demanded to be told where he was and was almost killed by Britannian Soldiers because of it. But she'd managed to save herself, sneak away and steal a knightmare frame with a bomb that she spent less than five minutes making attached to it. It was a prototype nuclear reactor and she was dead serious on detonating it to take out the entire kingdom. However, it failed to explode. She was almost taken into custody to be executed for such an action but just in the nick of time, Setsuna Meiou had travel to the kingdom and saved the girl, bringing her back to Earth.
- Nina is grateful of the woman saving her life but unlike when Euphemia did it, she bears no romantic feelings whatsoever towards the woman. Though she did ask the woman if she could take Euphemia's spot and be a member of the Crystal Tokyo Council, something that she knew Euphemia was part of and given that she was a Sailor Senshi, she had to start learning more about them and what they do. And at the same time, she resumed her daily life back at Juuban Municipal Academy but was very distant towards her friends and often preferred to be alone rather than tag along in anything they did. She graduated no surprise there and is working on trying to take the entrance exam to get into Todai University. She still resides at the Hinata Sou Inn but in a much better and renovated room on the first floor. Setsuna offered to pay for her rent until she could find a job of her own to be able to do it herself. Nina thanked her for but she also asked if she could be the holder of Euphemia's belongings. The things she owed and brought with her when she used to live there. Setsuna agreed to this and for the most part, this helps Nina remain somewhat emotionally intact. She is just glad that the man known as Zero is now dead. She is just disappointed that she couldn't kill him herself.
Euphemia Ci SolarisEdit
- From the time Nina became a Sailor Senshi after having met, Euphemia, she'd always been in love with the other girl. So much to a point that she became obsessed with her, always worrying about her, wondering when she'll come back and worrying if there was ever a chance of the two of them being lovers. In the beginning, Nina paid no mind to the fact that Euphemia wasn't a lesbian when they were junior high students. It wasn't until high school that she noticed this, especially when Suzaku Kururugi had come into the picture and various others that showed any interest in her long time love. Former student of Tsukuba Academy Euphoria Munakata who was temporarily assigned to becoming a member of Juuban's Student Council had a habit of flirting with Euphemia, much to Nina's dislike. She was doing it not only because she was cute but out of spite to piss Nina off which worked every time. She regrets not telling Euphemia her feelings sooner before her friend had fallen in love with Suzaku. She later diedsas a result of her participation in the Britannian war.
Suzaku KururugiEdit
- She displayed an immediate dislike of Suzaku as well as fear because he wasn't from Earth but from the Britannia Kingdom and was a Haumea and she did not trust him to be around Euphemia. The two of them had gotten into an argument, mostly on Nina's side when trying to attempt to fight Suzaku out of anger but after the two talked everything out, she from that point on tolerated him but didn't exactly like him. For Euphemia's sake, she kept the peace and accepted their relationship despite her own feelings.
Setsuna MeiouEdit
- After Euphemia's death, Nina was so emotionally unstable that she'd gone to the Britannia Kingdom and demanded to know where Zero was so that she could kill him. If not, then she would blow up the entire kingdom in hopes that she would have died in the blast. However, her bomb that she'd built and equipped to a stolen knightmare frame didn't work and with the help of Setsuna Meiou, she was saved and taken into the custody of the Moon Kingdom to avoid being executed in Britannia. With so much that was going on at the time of the Black Rebellion, Nina's actions were overlooked at the time but had not been forgotten, just never pursued to be presented in front of a trial. Nina was grateful to Setsuna for saving her and like with Euphemia, she'd developed a crush on her but instead of waiting around like she did before, she wanted an answer. Setsuna told her that her feelings were appreciated but she could not return them and apologize. For awhile she could not accept this but over the course of three years since Euphemia's death, she has and is good friends with the older Senshi.
Nira KoukiEdit
- She'd even started to make contact with an old friend, Nira Kouki who has a similar obsession with Euphoria Munakata but at the time was unwilling to let go of her feelings. Until her and Nina reconnected their friendship and Nina wanted to pursue a relationship with Nira but isn't sure whether or not the girl wants to do the same. Until then, the two remain friends.
Powers & AbilitiesEdit
- Gaea Power, Make Up - Used her first transformation pen to transform into Sailor Gaea.
- Gaea Star Power, Make Up - Used her Gaea Henshin Pen to transform into Sailor Gaea.
- As Sailor Gaea, her Sailor Fuku consists of the following, starting with her hair growing longer to where it appears much straighter and not wavy, she bears a golden tiara across her forehead with a lime green gem crested in the center, black choker around her neck, V-neck dark green Sailor collar and attached to the collar is a black large bow with a black crystal in the center holding it up. As for the skirt, it is dark green as well but it is much longer in the back as it stops behind the back of her knees and shorter in the front where it stops above the thighs. She also has partial sleeves on her arms that are dark green with a lime green stripe going through them, her gloves go all the way up to her forearm, are fingerless and it is shaded in two colors, dark green at the hands, stopping at the wrists and white from that point to the forearms. And lastly, are her boots that are white with a golden band around the top in which they stop below the knee and downward around the ankle and front of the foot there are dark green stripes.
Powers & AttacksEdit
- Gaea Henshin Pen - Nina owns a small henshin pen that is designed with the handle being green with lime green vines wrapped around it and the top of it resembling a small circular green atom with smaller lime green ones attached to it on all four sides. She uses this pen to transform into Sailor Gaea by shouting the words 'Gaea Star Power, Make Up!'. Nina's entire body becomes engulfed in bright lime green light with her arms held outward then she brings them in closer, clasping her palms together as if in the middle of a prayer and her hair is spread out behind her head, though it begins to grow longer in length, her bangs become longer and separated on the sides of her head and her eyes change from a light indigo blue to an olive green. She then turns to the side, facing the left as she holds her arms out to her side once again only this time green vines began wrapping around part of her legs, making her boots appear, then vines wrap around her waist and shoulders, making her white leotard and skirt appear. Her choker appears on her neck next, vines wrapping around it, followed by her gloves on both of her hands, a partial sleeve on her arms, and lastly her tiara with the gemstone inside. To end her transformation, she spins around twice before striking a pose with one hand on her left hip and the other pressed against her chest.
- Gaea Sword - The Gaea Sword is a long sword with a black handle with green jewels on both sides and a green blade. Using this sword, Nina is able to use it to launch her 'Gaea Sword Slash' attack. She can also use it to fight with and defend herself.
- Gaea Sword Slash - With this attack, Sailor Gaea takes her Gaea Sword and raises it up in the air above her then lowers her arm down really fast, sending a wind like current attack towards her enemy which hits them hard if they aren't able to get out of the way quick enough.
- Gaea Vine Shock - In this attack, she bends down and places both of her hands on the ground causing vines to shoot up and out of the ground no matter the current environment, the vines themselves then launch themselves forward towards their impending target and wrap around the enemy's body. Once wrapped around the enemy's body, the vines produce electricity, shocking them immensely.
Nina is 5'6" with shoulder length dark green hair (that sometimes appears black in different shades of lighting) and light indigo blue eyes. Her body build is very small for a young woman such as herself, weighing 120lbs, has a very small waist and slightly wide hips, pale skin complexion, rounded cheekbones and a pointed chin, her eyes are also more oval shaped even though she wears small framed side oval glasses. Originally, she used to wear her hair in two semi-long skinny braided pigtails behind her head that were shoulder length with little green bows at the ends but since having graduated from Juuban Municipal Academy, she wears her hair down. She only uses contacts if she's dressed to go somewhere formally. And she's wearing more feminine attire like dresses with little sweaters and jackets to go with them that match. She'll sometimes wear skirts and tank tops but because her breasts are more B cup sized, she doesn't fill out certain tops all that well. For footwear, she'll sometimes sport some sneakers, black or brown suede shoes, different color platform shoes or some brown boots that she just recently bought for herself.
Nina GalleryEdit
- Like her namesake, Albert Einstein, she contributed to causing the production of a weapon of mass destruction and later felt remorse when she realized how many people could have died because of it.
- Nina is similar to Flay Alster from Gundam SEED in many ways. Both are highly xenophobic, both are willing to kill the protagonist in some way after someone close to them is killed, and both eventually repent for their actions.
- She actually tried to fight Suzaku knowing that she wouldn't succeed in beating him in a fight.
- Nina's fourteen year old appearace is the same appearance of Satomi Hakase from the Negima series.
- (To Kallen) "No, you're not. You're an Eleven! You're an Eleven and you pretended to be my FRIEND?!! GIVE HER BACK TO ME!!! GIVE BACK PRINCESS EUPHEMIA!!! I NEEDED HER, SHE WAS A GODDESS TO ME!!!"
- (To Setsuna) "Being in love isn't very fun if the other person doesn't love you back."
- (To Nira) "I was just like you once. In love with someone who wouldn't love me back. Until ... I lost them forever. I'll never be able to see my dear sweet Euphie-chan anymore. As upset as I was and I almost did a stupid thing that could've hurt innocent people, I knew that's not what Euphie-chan would've liked. I don't want to see you fall down the same path as I did, Nira-chan.

Global Lottery Corporation Signs National Turf Lottery Contract for Brazil.
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global Lottery Corporation (Pink Sheets: GTTC) is proud to announce that it has signed a National Turf Lottery contract for Brazil with Playhouse Empreendimentos Ltda.
Playhouse Empreendimentos Ltda Brazil has awarded an exclusive ten year license with a ten year renewal option, to install Global Lottery Corporation's proprietary Lottery Operating Systems throughout Brazil. Global Lottery Corporation will own, operate, and install all aspects of the new National Turf Lottery. The Brazilian head office is to be located in Porto Alegre - Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil.
Gary Newman, Chairman, CEO states, "Instead of ball machines determining winning numbers for the National Turf Lottery, one of the many Jockey Clubs will supply random Lottery numbers supplied by the outcome of horse races in Brazil. This will provide reasons for the Racetracks of Brazil to attract more attention to horse racing. In recent years horseracing has been declining in attendance but with the races becoming the number generator for the National Turf Lottery, this will attract much needed attention and attendance to beleaguered racetracks."
Newman states, "In Brazil with its 197 million population coupled with a robust economy the National Turf Lottery is expected to generate ten billion US dollars per year in gross revenue, based upon an industry standard formula utilizing GDP and population."
"Playhouse Empreendimentos Ltda and Global Lottery Corporation combined will contribute ten percent of the gross National Turf Lottery ticket sales to a fund dedicated to education and social work," states Rogerio Rocca, CEO. "Our National Turf Lottery will be a means of contributing to a more just and egalitarian society in Brazil, our great country."

Digital Ecosystem Updates
It wasn't all that long ago that Microsoft's gaming-centric second screen app came to Android handsets, and now its iOS's turn. It seems a shiny new SmartGlass app replaced the old Xbox app in the App Store today with little fanfare, and is currently available for download for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touches running iOS 5.0 or later. As you might expect, the app allows your iDevice to serve as a remote and keypad for your Xbox 360, and its UI is nearly identical to the aforementioned Android version. Don't believe us? Download the app at the source below and see for yourself.

Progressively, drawings that are more detailed are approved and carried out by appropriate layers of management. Clay (industrial plasticine) and or digital models are developed from, and combined with the drawings. The info from these models are then used to create a full size mock-up of the final design (body in white). With three- and five-axis CNC milling machines, the clay model is first designed in a pc program and then "carved" using the device and huge amounts of clay. Even in times of high-class 3d software and virtual models on ability wall surfaces, the clay model continues to be the most important tool to evaluate the look of a car and therefore used throughout the industry.
Interior design

Hostel Life 101: Choosing the Right One/
It was secretly hilarious to me when people would ask me where I was headed next during my Eurotrip because honestly, at some points, I had no idea. That is why I selected the quote about. Anywho...
Hey y'all! I know some of you have been looking forward to my posts about my experiences with European hostels and that time has finally come.
I will be breaking down the next few posts into
- How I selected my hostels
- Hostel survival tips
- Hostel etiquette (major key)
Let's get started.
How did I choose my hostels?
If you read my previous post detailing my Eurotrip statistics, you will see that I stayed in a total of 16 hostels for 34 nights with a cost of $1,061 total. I'll say I was #WINNING by saving funds during the high season and can only imagine how much cheaper it would have been had I gone through the off season. For the most part, I did some research on the hostels prior to arriving (even if it was only a few days before). There were only two or three occasions in which I was at my last resort and booked the most convenient one.
My Favorite Hostel Review Sites include:
Hostel Geeks
I love them because of their "5 Star Hostel" reviews. If it is not a clean, convenient, friendly hostel, they will not bother posting it. The only slight pitfall is the fact that they are mainly focused in Europe, which is great if you're going on a Eurotrip, but if you are venturing off to Central America or Asia, you will not find as many reviews. I hope that they continue to increase their reviews as they continue to blog in the future. They claim to not receive compensation for their reviews, so that helps me to trust their opinions a little bit more.
The Hostel Girl
Katie (The Founder) seems like a kindred spirit to me. She does not appear to be a party crazed traveler, but more of one that appreciates culture, fun, and good living. Her hostel reviews feel like stories and give me great impressions of where she stays. She also adds videos which add an extra boost that pictures simply cannot always give. In addition to her hostel reviews, she has tour reviews and a section dedicated to solo female travel (insert: me) which I can appreciate. Similarly to Hostel Geeks, most of her reviews are based in Europe. So while her site was invaluable to me during my trip, I would be unable to use it when I expand my travels on my next trip.
The main reason Hostelworld is clutch is because it actually has an app so I can peruse through on my phone. It's like the Hotels[dot]Com of Hostels. Thousands of people have left their reviews in various categories such as, value for money, security, location, staff, atmosphere, cleanliness, and facilities. So as I previously mentioned, once you know your non-negotiables, this is extremely beneficial. I also love that there are plenty of reviews worldwide. My one gripe with HostelWorld is sometimes novice travelers leave negative reviews which can throw off the balance of a hostel's rating. I'd encourage you to look through the most recent comments to get an overall feel.
*A brief note, while I look through HostelWorld to get reviews and prices, I try to book directly with hostels as much as I can. Only if I notice a price difference (which did happen twice with HostelWorld being cheaper), I would book with the app.
Find your non-negotiables.
Realistically, with hostels, you have to accept that you will not be in a 5-star hotel, but there is no excuse for you to not be comfortable. There are plenty of sites that offer filters for you to sort through what you would like to see prior to committing. This is why I highly suggest you creating a list of your non-negotiables before securing lodging. For me, I needed security, stable wifi, air conditioning, clean bathrooms, and the ability to walk around / be close to public transportation. Most of the other options like a pool or bar were flexible, but wonderful bonuses. You have to know what works for you, otherwise you will be miserable.
Speaking of being miserable, I am sure you are curious to how I made the best of my experience sharing a bedroom with up to 20 other strangers (yep, did it in London in a room with 21 women). Fret not! My next post will guide you into making wise hostel-based decisions so check back soon.
Do you have a favorite hostel from your travels? Are you adamantly opposed to the being about that hostel life? Sound off in the comments!

Charity at Home and Abroad at St Albans Bach Choir's Christmas Concerts
Wed, 4 December 2013
For many, the St Albans Bach Choir's Christmas concerts at St Albans Cathedral mark the start of Christmas. At this year's events on Saturday, 14 December, as well as having the opportunity to enjoy festive music, you will be able to support two charities: one local to St Albans and one based in Africa.
The 3.00 pm concert is aimed particularly at young children, with pre-concert face-painting and storytelling (from 2.15 pm), favourite children's carols and a guest appearance from St Columba's Prep School Bell Choir. This concert supports Hands at Work in Africa, working in vulnerable communities across eight countries in sub-Saharan Africa where HIV/AIDS, poverty and numbers of orphans are highest and support structures are very low. The charity supports community leaders in developing a locally-owned organization working to increase the community's capacity to provide effective care for all, regardless of race, class or religion.
The evening programme, at 7.00 pm, includes well loved carols and seasonal choral classics, interspersed with readings and a guest appearance from the Columban Ringers. The charity supported is The Living Room, which provides structured group therapy for people who are in danger of becoming addicted, or who already have an addiction; it also supports their family and friends. The charity is now looking for bigger premises in St Albans, in order to serve more clients.
St Albans Bach Choir will be fresh from a high-profile appearance at the Royal Albert Hall on 12 December, where they will be taking part in celebrated composer John Rutter's Christmas Celebration along with choristers from St Albans Cathedral, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Cathedral Assistant Master of the Music, organist Tom Winpenny.
On 14 December, former Cathedral Assistant Master of the Music Andrew Parnell makes a welcome return to play the organ, Organ Scholar Michael Papadopoulos plays the piano and Cathedral Master of the Music Andrew Lucas conducts.
Both concerts offer the chance to enjoy beautiful music in the spectacular setting of St Albans Cathedral while helping good causes. What better way to start Christmas?
Tickets are available at the door only from 2.15pm and 6.15pm. 3.00 pm: adults £5, children £1 (if seat needed). 7.00 pm: adults £10, disabled/students £5. All seats are unreserved.
- St Albans Bach Choir gave its inaugural concert in March 1924 with a performance of Bach's St Matthew Passion which, along with Bach's other major choral works, the choir still regularly performs.
- The choir presents a wide variety of music in its concert programmes, whilst continuing to perform the major works in the choral repertoire.
- The choir engages orchestras and soloists of the highest calibre, but also has a tradition of engaging young singers, many of whom have since developed international careers.
- The choir is privileged to perform in the Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Alban, as it has since its inception. In keeping with tradition, Andrew Lucas, the Cathedral's Master of the Music, is the choir's Music Director. Michael Papadopoulos, Organ Scholar at the Cathedral, is the choir's accompanist.
- St Albans Bach Choir is a member of Making Music, the National Federation of Music Societies.

Marijuana Use Up Among Young Arrestees

Funded Study Finds Marijuana Use Up Among Young Arrestees, Author Dares to
Suggest This Might Be a Good Thing
Long-time drug trend researcher Dr. Andrew
Golub has produced a report on marijuana use among young offenders that
may be causing the study's sponsor, the US Department of Justice, to
wonder whether it should be seeking a refund. Not that the science is bad
-- Golub's methodology is strong and his findings unsurprising -- but if
the government was looking for a rubber stamp of approval for the drug
war, it was clearly disappointed.
Using statistics from the Arrestee Drug
Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) program, the National Household Survey on Drug
Abuse, and the annual Monitoring the Future surveys of high school
students, Golub and co-author Bruce D. Johnson found that the percentage
of youth testing positive for marijuana when arrested increased rapidly in
the early and mid-1990s before stabilizing at the new, higher levels in
the latter part of the decade. In the early part of the decade, 25% of
youthful arrestees had marijuana in systems, but by 1996 that figure had
jumped to 57% and has hovered in that area ever since, the study reports.
According to Golub and Johnson, this rise in marijuana-using young
arrestees generally parallels the increase in smoking among teenagers
widely reported in the 1990s, with two provisos: The increase in young
offenders smoking marijuana predated the rise in teenage use by a year,
and the increase in youthful offenders was greater than the increase among
young marijuana smokers in general.
What the authors melodramatically refer to
as "The New Marijuana Epidemic" among young people was evident
nationwide by 1999, with 22% of high school seniors reporting past-month
usage. While adherents of the gateway theory (that marijuana is a
"gateway" to hard drug use) would predict a new hard drug
epidemic in the near future, Golub and Johnson are not so sure.
"The start of this new epidemic
coincides with the decline of the crack epidemic," they wrote.
"This suggests that youthful subcultures may have shifted from the
destructive nature of crack abuse to the use of less dangerous drugs.
Marijuana appears to have become the drug of choice among youths coming of
age in the 1990s who tend to get in trouble with the law in the same way
that crack had been the drug of choice previously."
"I think the findings are powerfully
significant," Golub, a senior researcher at the National Development
and Research Institute, a New York-based private, nonprofit foundation,
told reporters as he announced the study's findings. "Fifteen years
ago, we documented that the use of cocaine, particularly crack cocaine,
was rampant among arrestees. Five years ago, we documented that crack was
declining. What we see today is that the drug of choice among arrestees is
marijuana and that it is not serving as a gateway to something else,"
Golub said.
"Many of these individuals have seen
the devastation resulting from crack and heroin use, and they blame their
parents' experiences on their use of these drugs," he said. "And
this explains why for many of these youths, use of marijuana is perceived
as an act of resilience" that is celebrated in everything from
clothing to music.
"This is a social phenomenon,"
Golub said. "These youths define marijuana as not a drug. The pattern
seems to be indigenous to today's youth. In other words, the habit was not
passed down to them. They chose it."
And hip-hop culture had something to do
with it, Golub told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "The incubation
phase [of a drug trend] typically grows out of a specific social context.
For example, the heroin injection epidemic grew out of the jazz era and
the crack epidemic started among inner-city drug dealers," said Golub.
"There is evidence to suggest that the incubation phase of the new
marijuana epidemic began with the youthful, inner-city, predominantly
African-American, hip-hop movement."
In the study's conclusions, the authors
note that, given marijuana's status as the most popular illicit drug, drug
abuse control policies might logically focus on marijuana. That would be a
mistake, they say. "[D]rug-using members of the New Marijuana
Generation are damaging themselves less physically and socially than the
preceding generation of crack smokers and heroin injectors. They are also
causing much less harm to the broader population," wrote Golub and
Noting that ethnographic studies of
inner-city communities suggest a "dramatic shift in the subculture of
drug use and that interactions have become more congenial and less
violent," the authors call for a rethinking of marijuana enforcement
policies. "Perhaps this is the time to deemphasize 'tough' drug
enforcement policies in favor of indirect drug abuse control through the
reduction of the economic, educational, and social barriers faced by many
inner-city youth in establishing a healthy and mainstream lifestyle."

Adult Arrestees," is available in either ASCII or Adobe Acrobat

Pulling off a retro themed creation that fans will love can be a major challenge. You have to respect the well known characters and personalities that fans have come to love. The sounds must fit the style of the decade and environments in which the characters were first experienced by your audience. The look and feel all has to come together perfectly.
Fox Retro is a beautiful animation created by the team at Punga that does a wonderful job of bringing together all of the important details to pull off a retro-themed/inspired experience.
The animation presents iconic characters from classic television shows like Happy Days, Different Strokes, the A-Team, Mork and Mindy, Star Trek, Charlie's Angles, Wonder Woman in a pixel-style mash-up world of classic 1980s videogames like Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Kung Fu, Super Mario Bros, and Frogger.

What the creators had to say about this animation
When the FOXRetro video was released, the staff at Punga.tv published the following release:
The good folks at FOX gave us this sweet script that turned to be Gabriel Fermanelli's first gig solo as a Director for PUNGA! FOX Retro is all about that: retro series! So the idea of working in an 8bit format sounded good. We reinterpreted it an added some 3D magic to it and here's the result: a beautiful trip back to the 80's Punga style!

Zika virus is a dangerous virus that is transmitted through Aedes aegepty mosquitoes . About 1 in 5 people who are infected with the Zika virus becomes sick, has Zika disease or Zika fever. The disease caused by this virus was first recorded in 1947 in Africa and has spread to epidemics in many different countries, with ongoing outbreaks in Brazil and Puerto Rico; the first diagnosis of Zika virus in the United States occurred in Harris County (Houston), Texas, in January 2016.
Causes of Zika Virus
Zika virus is a virus related to dengue, West Nile, and other viruses. The Zika virus may play a role in the occurrence of congenital microcephaly (head and small brain) in the fetus from infected pregnant women. This virus is transmitted to people by Aedes mosquitoes as a factor; so mosquito bites are a risk factor.
The incubation period is about three to 12 days after the bite of an infected mosquito. Most infections do not spread from person to person. In Brazil, outbreaks of Zika virus infection may be related to the development of congenital microcephaly; Epidemiological evidence from Zika uses a virus isolated from amniotic fluid, brain and baby's heart with microcephaly. The prognosis for most Zika virus infections is good; However, complications such as microcephaly, if proven to be associated with infection in pregnancy, will be a bad outcome.
Symptoms of the Zika Virus
The most common symptoms of Zika virus are fever, rash, joint pain, or conjunctivitis (red eye). Other common symptoms include muscle aches and headaches. The incubation period (time from symptom exposure) for Zika virus disease is unknown, but may range from a few days to a week. The disease is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week. People usually do not show enough pain to go to the hospital and Zika is actually rarely deadly. The Zika virus usually stays in the blood of an infected person for about a week but can be found again in some people.
Zika Virus Diagnosis
The symptoms of Zika are similar to dengue fever and chikungunya , a disease that spreads through the same mosquito that transmits Zika, the Aedes mosquito. Check with a doctor if you experience the symptoms described above and have visited the area where Zika was found.
If you have just traveled, tell your doctor when and where you are traveling. Health care providers can recommend special blood tests to find Zika or other similar viruses such as dengue fever or chikungunya.
Treatment of Zika Virus
There is no vaccine to prevent or special medications to treat Zika infection.
Treatment only treats symptoms:
- Drink fluids to prevent dehydration
- Take medications such as acetaminophen to relieve fever and pain
- Don't take aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
- If you take medication for other medical conditions, talk to your doctor before taking additional medication
During the first week of infection, the Zika virus can be found in the blood and an infected person can transmit it to others in such a way that the person is bitten by a mosquito, then the mosquito bites another person because the mosquito becomes infected. Infected mosquitoes can then spread the virus to other people.
Prevention of Zika Virus
- There is no vaccine to prevent Zika virus disease
- Prevent Zika by avoiding mosquito bites
- Mosquitoes that spread the Zika bite virus mostly fly during the day
- Mosquitoes that spread the Zika virus also spread dengue fever and chikungunya
When traveling to countries where Zika virus or other viruses are found, and that is caused by mosquito bites, do the following:
- Wear a long-sleeved shirt and trousers
- Stay in places with air conditioning or in a room that uses windows and door screens to keep mosquitoes from outside
- Sleep under a mosquito net if you are abroad or outside and unable to protect yourself from mosquito bites
- Use insect repellents (mosquito sprays or mosquito repellent). When used with directed, insect repellents have proven safe and effective, even for pregnant and lactating women
- Always follow the product label instructions
- Do not spray insect repellent on the skin under the clothes
- If you also use sunscreen, use sunscreen before applying insect repellent
If you have a baby or child:
- Do not use insect repellent for babies younger than 2 months of age
- Dress that covers your arms and legs
- Cover the box, push cart and baby carrier with mosquito netting
- Do not apply insect repellent to children in the hands, eye area, mouth area, and injured or irritated skin
- Adults: Spray insect repellent into your hands and then to the child's face.
- Give permethrin to clothes
- Clothes are used after several washings (washed after permethrin)
- If you treat the items yourself, follow the product instructions carefully
- Do not use permethrin products directly on the skin. Permetrin is intended to "treat" clothes
If you suffer from Zika, protect others from illness
- During the first week of infection, the Zika virus can be found in the blood and transmitted from infected people to other mosquitoes through mosquito bites. Infected mosquitoes can then spread the virus to other people
- To help prevent others from getting sick, avoid being bitten by mosquitoes during the first week of illness.
Zika Virus Transmission
Through mosquito bites
The Zika virus is transmitted to people primarily through the bite of Aedes mosquitoes infected with A. aegypti and A. albopictus mosquito species. These are the same mosquitoes for dengue fever and the chikungunya virus. These mosquitoes usually lay eggs in calm water such as buckets, bowls, animal plates, flower pots and vases. They prefer to bite people, and live indoors or outside.
- Mosquitoes that spread chikungunya, dengue fever and Zika will become aggressive bites during the day. They can also bite at night
- Mosquitoes become infected when they suck blood from people who have been infected with the virus. Namuk who are infected can then spread the virus to others through bites.
Mother-to-child transmission (rarely occurs)
- A mother who has been infected with the Zika virus at the time of delivery can transmit the virus to her baby at delivery, but this is rare.
- It is possible that the Zika virus can be transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy. Health experts are studying how some mothers can transmit the virus to their babies
- Until now, there have been no reports of infants contracting the Zika virus through breastfeeding. Because breastfeeding has many benefits, mothers are encouraged to breastfeed even in areas where the Zika virus is found.
Through infected blood or sexual contact
- The spread of the virus through blood transfusions and sexual relations has been reported.
Where is the Zika virus found?
Prior to 2015, the Zika virus outbreak had occurred in the regions of Africa, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. In May 2015, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) issued a warning regarding Zika virus infection in Brazil. At present, outbreaks occur in many countries. The Zika virus will continue to spread and it will be difficult to determine how the virus will spread from time to time.
The Zika virus has now penetrated the United States. Local Zika cases have been reported in the United States, but there are also cases coming from tourists. Local infectious Zika viruses have been reported in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico , US Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. With this new outbreak, the number of Zika cases for tourists coming or returning to the United States is likely to increase. Import cases can result in the spread of local viruses in several regions of the United States.
On February 3, 2016, the Minister of Health Nila F Moeloek confirmed that a Jambi resident had suffered from this virus, however, Minister of Health appealed to the public not to be afraid because characteristically, the Zika virus was not as bad as dengue fever when it came to adults.
Once again, Zika is dangerous when it comes to pregnant women because it will potentially give birth to baby microcephaly.

The future looks brighter than ever for Hauraki District thanks to a funding boost from the New Zealand Transport Agency.
Over the next few months most street lights in the district will be converted to new state-of-the-art LED lights.
Exceptions include state highways, which are maintained by New Zealand Transport Agency, and some higher use local roads which require specialised light types and design.
The New Zealand Transport Agency is co-investing in the project as part of its national programme to provide an 85 per cent subsidy to local councils upgrading to more efficient lighting in the 2017/18 financial year.
Hauraki District Council engineering services group manager Adrian de Laborde says there are many benefits to installing the new lights.
"LED lights last up to six times longer, use less electricity and cost less overall to maintain. The lights also provide better visibility which makes them safer for vehicles and pedestrians, while reducing light pollution substantially at the same time."
In Whiritoa, road lighting in general is being assessed, along with the LED upgrade.
Adrian says road lighting in the area is due for review and the council is seeking feedback from the community on how well positioned the current lighting is and where additional lighting might be needed from a road safety perspective.
"The locals will have a better idea than we do of which intersections might have street signs that don't stand out well at night, or places where pedestrians might be difficult to spot due to dim or non-existent lighting, so we're really keen to chat with the community about this."
Council staff will be available to discuss the issue at the upcoming `We Need to Talk' event at the Whiritoa Emergency Management Centre from 12.30pm to 2.30pm on Thursday.

Information About Quick Cash Inc From Around The Web
It's a good idea to shop locally for individual financial services if you have an urgent financial need. Depending where you're located, simple check cashing can be ranged by services, to short term loan products including payday loans, also known as cash advance loans. Contact the business listed above to see what financial services are offered in your city. Some may also offer installment loan options, enabling you to pay your loan back to larger loans for example personal loans, which afford a wider range of lending bundles with regard to interest rates and loan amount, depending in your credit score, to get a set time frame.
Before applying for internet payday loans you should investigate alternatives. If there is an emergency or unexpected bill attempt to stretch your finances. If you can't pay a bill, contact your lender and attempt to make a payment arrangement. In case your requirement for cash needs a loan for a longer duration, apply for an alternative peer-to-peer or traditional loan. Should you have collateral, you can put property up to ensure a low-interest bank loan. If you are denied capital from a traditional lending source you need temporary cash flow until the following paycheck or because your credit credibility is shot, simple loans might look like the ideal alternative to get you through a tight financial position. Taking out an advance on your own next pay check from a money lender may be your only alternative in case you do not need money or a credit card in a savings account to cover the cost of a car repair or catching up on your own electricity bill before services are shut off.
Applying for fast loans on the internet is a great alternative when unexpected emergencies arise or the amount needed is not worth for starting another account, the ding to your credit rating. In addition, you prevent the bother of having to collect all your financial records, submit a lengthy application and meet together with the bank's loan officer to sign packets of paperwork. In case your credit is good enough, you might be eligible for a higher limit with a brand new account or a current charge card company with another lender which allows you to join all of your debt into one payment. As the consolidation is processed between the two businesses, which puts money in your pocket fast, you generally get to jump the following payment. When the next payment is due, you are going to probably be paying less overall than you were for the individual minimal payments of the separate debts. Many sources of private credit, including poor credit personal loans, have a high annual percentage rate, particularly if origination fees are contained in the annualized rate. Many personal loans online also have durations that are comparatively brief, often as very little as three months. Although it may be possible to refinance these types of loans, rolling around them can prove costly.

Sometris is a Tetris-like game that Papilio user Peter Ivanov has written for the Papilio One and Arcade MegaWing, the game works with DesignLab 1.0.8.
This is a tetris-like game for Papilio One 500K + Aracade Megawing.
You need a VGA monitor and optionally a Atari/Commodore compatible joystick.

The Papilio FPGA Logic Analyzer (PLA) kit is a fully featured logic analyzer that has its roots in the Open Bench Logic Sniffer (OLS) project. We took all the tricks we learned from designing the FPGA side of the Logic Sniffer and applied them to the PLA, expanding the memory, increasing transfer speeds, providing 32 5V tolerant channels, and making it available for debugging internal FPGA designs. It's a more capable platform that enables us to continue developing all of the Logic Analyzer features that just wouldn't fit in the Logic Sniffer. Not only is the PLA a very capable Logic Analzyer, it's also an awesome FPGA development board! You can use the Logic Analyzer to debug circuits by day, and use the Papilio FPGA to make System on Chip designs by night!

Coming shortly to GadgetFactory India stores!
GadgetFactory introduces the GadgetBox – a easy-to-use, versatile platform for creating IoT applications.
GadgetBox tackles the biggest problems with current IoT devices – shield stacking, easily adding hardware, hardware compatibility, and an enclosure for your project. There are lots of IoT hardware options out there but none of them have thought the problem all the way through, so what we end up with is either a crazy tower of shields or peripherals soldered on with jumper wires. Not something we can proudly show our friends and family, let alone put into use in our homes.
GadgetBox starts with a case and builds from there – so the end result is an attractive, functional device with all of the electronics safely contained in the case.

Hello Papilio fans today we got an awesome project to share with you! Our forum member jlcollado has managed to migrate the Grant Searle's brillant work called MULTICOMP to the Papilio DUO, the final result is a very usable and complete Z80 soft-core based machine, running the venerable Digital Research CP/M 2.2 OS.
I've built the Z80 CP/M variant, complete with VGA & Keyboard terminal, Serial port, SD-Card and external SRAM. The steps I followed to accomplish this: 1. Adapted the pinouts, ports and some signals of all the modules (Main Interconect, Z80, VGA, Serial, Keyboard, SD-Card) from the original design to fully use the Computing Shield peripherals and the DUO's SRAM (using and updated Computing Shield UCF file).2. Converted the original 6 bit color VGA to 12 bit color interface.3. Converted the internal BIOS ROM and Character Font ROMs, to use Xilinx's Core Generator's Block Memory instead of the original Altera Altsyncram IP.4. Converted the internal double port Display & Attribute RAMs also to use the Core Generator's Block Memory instead of the original Altera Altsyncram IP.5. In my first attempt I adapter the CPU and Baudrate clock generators, to use the Papilio's 32 MHz OSC instead of the original 50 MHz, but I ran into timing problems converting the many clock -dependant constants in the design. So I decided to generate a new 50 MHz clock using the DCM & PLL Wizard.
For an in depth look at this great work please visit the project showcase page here, the full project files are also available on the same page.
Feel free to express your thoughts about the project in the comment section or in the original showcase page.
With the just released GadgetBox IoT enclosures we have been on the hunt for server solutions to drive our IoT devices. We really like Blynk so far, but it is not free. So when we saw this VPS based solution we knew it was something to put on the list to evaluate!
If anyone gets a chance to check it out we'd love to hear about it in the forums.
As we continue to puzzle out all the different approaches to create an IoT application something that caught our eye was Node-Red. It's billed as a visual tool for wiring the Internet of Things. The home page says this:
Node-RED is a tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways.
The intro video shows a pretty snazzy GUI for wiring elements together:
This article shows how to tie your hardware into the Node-Red mix.
Now the question is what is the best way to run a node.js server?
What an incredibly helpful video! See first hand all the steps to manufacture a PCB. This answers all the questions I've always had when designing a board…
Via EEVblog
This is a topic that has a lot of significance for the GadgetBox platform. There are lots of IoT projects that need as much battery life as can be squeezed out of them. This awesome article explains how to squeeze 3 years of battery life out of an esp8266 module!
Today´s article presents a fantastic video tutorial about designing and building your own FPGA RGB LED matrix to display anything you want.
Nowadays it´s pretty easy to buy an RGB LED matrix on internet, so you only need to connect your FPGA to it and build and implement your own design. So, you better follow along this great video where the authors will teach you the fundamentals to do it.
In the video the authors take some time explaining how the actual board works. Listen carefully to it as very important design details are revealed. The designer of this specific FPGA code shows a block diagram (with the main components, PLL, UART and Display Controller) of its design and explains it step by step, sharing even some simulations from both the software and the actual signals measured on the FPGA board to proof that the design is working exactly as it´s supposed to. Thus, a pretty good learning experience for you here.
Finally, you can download all the FPGA design files here. Use them as a guideline on your own design, which I strongly recommend you to do. And if you don´t have the time nor the knowledge to actually build the RGB LED matrix board, you can get yours here.
Watch the video and then get hands on to create your own design so you actually learn how to do it.
Have fun!

Woman in Red
by Eileen Goudge
When Alice's son is falsely accused of rape, Alice jumps into action to prove her son's innocence. She hires an attorney, Colin McGinty, and discovers that they are bound by history via Woman in Red, a portrait of Alice's grandmother, painted by Colin's grandfather.
Author Eileen Goudge has created a sympathetic and courageous character with Alice Kessler; any mother can identify with her outrage of not only losing her son but in seeing the drunk driver go completely free. Alice works hard to overcome her past and move on, while fighting for her remaining son.
The backstory of Alice's grandmother and Colin's grandfather is brilliantly weaved through the book and unites these two outcasts in unexpected ways.
Mystery, drama, romance, courage, outrage, sympathy and redemption - you'll find it all in this book. As an avid reader, I don't know how I've missed Eileen Goudge, but after reading Woman in Red, I won't miss her again!
Review by Maribeth Doerr
Published June 2007 by Vanguard Press
About the Author: Eileen Goudge is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Garden of Lies, Such Devoted Sisters, and One Last Dance. There are over 3 million copies of her books in print. Raised in the San Francisco Bay area, she moved to New York City with her two children after her first big writing break came when she was chosen to help launch a line of teen romances, which went on to become the phenomenally successful Sweet Valley High series. In 1986, Garden of Lies, her saga of baby girls switched at birth, was sold to a publisher and she has since gone on to write many more novels including Woman in Red. Her own real-life romance reads like those in her novels. After three failed marriages, she finally found true love with entertainment reporter, Sandy Kenyon. They were married in September 1996. Eileen and Sandy divide their time between New York City and Orcas Island, Washington.

The Kind of Look that Defies Gravity
How cute is this Missguided two piece? I'm not always such a fan of pink clothing, particularly on me myself as I sometimes feel it can look a little too forced or something but this shade is so dreamy!!! I'm also glad I contrasted it with a leather jacket and trainers...made me feel more comfortable wearing pink...like I edged it out more, less Malibu Barbie and more Attitude Barbie perhaps. It's funny though, growing up I would have never have dreamed of wearing trainers with a skirt or dress (other than converses), I think because it always reminded me of Lily Allen's style when she first came on the scene and I kind of felt it looked a little tacky! But it has become a bit of a style staple now, hasn't it? As long as your outfit is stylish, trainers now look chic with streetstyle fashion, especially so with skirts and dresses. So much so that they have even been seen on Chanel catwalks on the feet of some of the world's top models!!! Miss Coco Chanel would be rolling over in her grave I'm sure!!
So with this shoot (which I got my teenage niece to help me out with - I mean how sweet is she?!) I wanted to try and do something a little more fun than the standard standing still shots, try and be a little more creative and make the pictures a little more interesting to look at. It's always good to mix things up a bit and push yourself..well that was what my intention was but trying to get a great jumping picture is much harder than it looks so I settled on 1 or 2 movement shots lol! Oh well, at least I gave it try, right? And if at first you don't succeed, try try try again! We'll get there in the end I'm sure! Anyway, hope you like the pics and more importantly the outfit! Missguided also have a simialar two piece in grey but more wooly ready for autumn weather..I might have to purchase that too...I mean it's getting colder right so I need "warmer clothes" (yes I know my midriff will be showing but just humour me ok!!).
