Blackjack – How to Play the overall game – 15 Best Twitter Accounts to Learn About 메리크카지노3474
Blackjack, formerly named Black Jack and Vingt-Un-ling, is an American variant of the Caribbean favorite cards game, Blackjack. Additionally it is known by several other titles incorporating Spanish "joker", French "croupier" and Italian "rugiera". Blackjack gained worldwide popularity when it had been first posted in the Mayans in the 16th century. The most frequent version nowadays is played on casino flooring surfaces, online, in video tutorial poker tournaments and by mail.
The basic strategy for playing blackjack is to beat the dealer, never to deal. While this is generally true, it does rely upon certain factors. First, you must have some starting hand (usually but not always). Second, you must play under some stressful conditions–for example, if you can find no red or dark cards, the starting hand should be black or red, no other cards to start with.
When playing blackjack under such disorders, it is important for the ball player to bluff. Bluffing is merely using non-preprinted cards or chips, so long as there are any, to generate the same effect as a normal card-game. Bluffing can be done by using the Ace of the desk, Queen, King, Jack, Ten-valued cards, Jacks or Nays and gambling those hands, whether or not they are visible to the dealer. However, the most famous bluffing trick involves gambling the Ace, Queen, King, Jack, ten-valued card or even a single, but hidden, card, to yourself and witnessing if your opponent bet those exact same cards to you.
Blackjack is often dealt from decks comprising one, two or three Aces. In recent times, many gambling houses, especially those based in Las Vegas, house blackjack decks comprising aces, jacks and kings as well as some cards, that have been previously considered unsuitable to be used in blackjack. Such cards are the Ace of Spades (which usually identifies a blackjack deck containing aces), King of Clubs (a blackjack deck containing kings) and Ace of Pentacles (a blackjack deck comprising jacks). These additional clubs permit the blackjack dealer to create additional bets on each palm of the players; and in the event that the players usually do not bet, the dealer can merely win the pot (even though it is under bet) from the additional cards.
It is this feature that makes blackjack one of the few card games where strategy is more essential than luck. Actually, blackjack is an extremely complex game. While it isn't hopeless, it does supply the players a tough challenge. This is why blackjack players should always be ready for anything, including making mistakes.
One way to beat the casino blackjack is to develop a strategy prior to starting to play the game. Many players choose to 아닥 코인 카지노 study the blackjack tendencies online before they start enjoying. Another way to be prepared is to read the blackjack news, and be familiar with the up and coming trends of the many casinos. However, blackjack is really a simple card game and for that reason you do not need to learn complicated strategies to have fun with it.
There are several basic rules that every player should know about blackjack, and these rules can help them win or reduce. Blackjack can be played with a simple hand-raise or perhaps a hand-call (generally known as a blind steal). A new player may raise or call (but never both concurrently). The initial rule variation is called doubling and is whenever a player raises the bet he has placed on the button twice. The second rule variation is named the trifecta, and it means that a player has reached most of his third betting move (if any) and that he has doubled his cash on the previous move.
Blackjack is really a simple card game therefore a basic strategy for winning would be to play conservatively. Avoid placing wagers and always play slowly to get rid of possible traps, which may cause you to lose money. The most typical trap is to bet while having less than the maximum house edge. Some players prefer to bluff with cards such as four of a kind (called jacks), or with coins in front of them, but this is generally not recommended since it gives your opponent the opportunity to figure out everything you are trying to do. Knowing your opponent's behaviors and strategies could be a great way to defeat him at blackjack and help make your casino games more pleasurable.

Greek police see leads in money laundering suspect's phone | Financial Post
THESSALONIKI, Greece — A cellphone seized during the arrest of a Russian man the U.S. wants extradited for allegedly laundering vast sums through bitcoin transactions should provide key data for the investigation, Greek police said Thursday.
The U.S. Department of Justice has identified the suspect as Alexander Vinnik, 37. It said he allegedly laundered more than $4 billion through BTC-e, one of the world's largest digital currency exchanges — which he allegedly operated.

AB - This study demonstrates the impact of variations in overall crustal rheology on crustal strength in relatively high P–T conditions at mid- to lower mid-crustal levels. In a crustal-scale shear zone, along-strike variations in the rheological competence result in large-scale deformation partitioning and differences in the deformation style and strain distribution. The structural behaviour of the crustal-scale Sottunga–Jurmo shear zone (SJSZ) in SW Finland is described. The shear zone represents a discontinuity between the amphibolite-to-granulite facies, dome-and-basin style crustal block to the north and the amphibolite facies rocks with dominantly steeply dipping structures to the south. The overall deformation style and resulting strains along the shear zone are greatly affected by the local lithology. The results of this study also have implications for the current tectonic models of the Palaeoproterozoic Fennoscandia. The most important implication is that the SJSZ, together with other structurally related shear zones, compartmentalised the far-field stresses, so that the late ductile structures within and south of the SJSZ can be allocated to a convergence from the south as late as ~1.79 Ga rather than to the Nordic orogeny from the west-northwest. It is further suggested that at ~1.79 Ga the stress regime was still compressive/transpressive and that the ~1.79 Ga magmatism in Åland at least initiated in a compressive setting. No extension or orogenic collapse, therefore, occurred in the Åland area while the rocks still were within the ductile regime.

As Israel returns to polls, Palestinian democracy in stasis | Saltshakers
Home » As Israel returns to polls, Palestinian democracy in stasis
When Israelis vote next week it will be their sixth general election since Palestinians last had the chance to cast ballots in parliamentary polls more than 13 years ago. Whether in Ramallah, Nablus or Gaza, 30-year-old Palestinians have never had the opportunity to choose their leadership. In the Palestinian territories, where unemployment is around 30 percent, a combination of factional rivalries, infighting and Israeli restrictions mean no elections have been held since 2006. Following a 2007 split, two governments effectively rule separate territories — with President Mahmud Abbas leading the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority and the Islamist terror group Hamas in control in Gaza.

About Hungary - Elections in Hungary: Where are the 'free but not fair' critics now?
Nothing particularly newsworthy at first sight, but there is an important takeaway.
Prior to the 2014 elections, Hungary carried out a much needed reform of its electoral system – implementing many steps recommended by the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights in the preceding years and decades – for example, evening out the size of electoral districts in terms of number of voters per district. We came under heavy fire for the changes. The new system, critics cried, created an "uneven playing field" that would result in elections that would be "free but not fair," suggesting that the governing party was rigging the rules to ensure its own victory.
The critics were wrong. Their criticism lacked foundation. But to the average reader, who is by no means expected to be an expert, it came down to our word against theirs. Now, anyone bothering to pay any attention can see that the "free but not fair" argument is becoming more and more difficult to defend.
This month's nine by-elections, not to mention all the by-elections held in Hungary since 2014, serve as practical evidence that the system works. With every vote cast, citizens have the chance to express their preferences. Their satisfaction or lack thereof is mirrored in the results, bringing re-election or new winners.
It turns out that the key to winning a local or a national election in Hungary is the same as everywhere else: win voter sympathy and get more votes than your political opponent. Not surprising and not big news, as this is the way it should be. But perhaps the critics owe us, and even more so, owe the citizens of Hungary, an apology.

A new reality TV show called The Rush has been introduced by Pop Central to excite and keep viewers glued to their screens, according to the organisers.
A statement from the media outfit explained that The Rush is designed to be both exciting and intensive as it will have dedicated task segments, contestants in-residence segment, diary room segment, host driver, and voice over to drive the story.
Contestants will vote to eliminate each other weekly, while the viewers will vote to keep their favourites in and will also be able to earn immunity through various tasks during the weekdays.
It was stated that the high energy, adrenaline pumping and physically intense The Rush reality TV show will hit the screens next month till December.
A total of 16 contestants will be selected after an audition process to compete in groups for 8 weeks and engage in 39 meticulously designed intensive physical and mental tasks.
Already, registration to participate has opened and interested individuals, males and females between the ages of 18 and 35 have been urged to sign up on the Pop Central TV website.
Partnerships are also opened to those willing to take advantage of the fresh twist to reality show programming, the organisers further said.
"We have tapped into this to create The Rush reality show that revolves around adventurous content and healthy competition to entertain viewers and keep them at the edge of their seats," the CEO of Pop Central TV, Yinka Obebe, said.
"The Nigerian audience is quite aware of how reality shows work. However, The Rush is offering viewers a new exciting and entertaining twist to reality TV programming as they watch and vote for their favourite contestants to get a chance at overcoming extreme routines and tasks," Obebe further stated.
Business Post gathered that The Rush is set in two stages, the task stage and the chillout scenario in the residence. The live residence segment of the show reveals the human side of the contestants after the completion of their arduous challenges which are done outdoors.
The daily residence segment will be aired as a 2-hour recap that will run from 7pm to 9pm daily and a rerun the next day from 11am to 1pm on Pop Central DSTV 189.

Beiersdorf Enters Market for Post-Acne Marks
The root cause of PIH is increased melanin production, which is stimulated by inflammatory factors. The blemish triggers melanocytes - the melanin-producing cells - to release excessive pigment granules. These darken and discolor the formerly stressed area. The Eucerin DERMOPURE TRIPLE EFFECT SERUM contains Thiamidol, which counteracts and reverses hyperpigmentation by addressing the root cause: the formation of melanin in the skin. Additionally, the formulation contains salicylic acid to reduce blemishes and licochalcone A to prevent new blemishes from appearing. Thanks to sebum-regulation technology, it leaves the skin with a long-lasting matte look.
Eucerin® DERMOPURE PROTECTIVE FLUID SPF 30 helps protect post-acne marks from darkening due to sun exposure. It contains effective filters to block ultraviolet rays (A and B), with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30. Antibacterial decanediol helps prevent blemishes, and licochalcone A soothes irritated skin. The formula also features sebum-regulation technology for a long-lasting matte appearance. The products have enhanced efficacy when used in combination.

That’s the big question isn’t it? Over the last 5 years we have taken over 10,000 people on our adventures. We have taken out every age from 2-80 and all ability types from jungle warrior to incredible doofus and no one has needed medical attention that could not be fixed with a bandaid and a little ice. Our tours are designed for the first timer! Our backup and safety systems are designed to allow you to do all the activities on your own, while allowing us to keep you safe in case you do everything wrong.
Your swimsuit under your clothes, ideally quick drying clothes and shoes that will stay on and will get wet. No flip flops!!! Slip on water shoes are great as they tend to grip really well in the water. Tennis shoes and strap on sandals also are a good choice.
As there are varying difficulty levels to all tours please advise us if you are traveling with children under age 10 for our Canyoning or Zipline tours. Sometimes children require extra effort and attention from the guides and we want to ensure that we are staffed properly.
Our Canyoning tour has been enjoyed by people up to age 80, people who limp, people with a prosthetic leg and people over 300 pounds!! With that said it is required that you have at least moderate balance and the energy to hike and stay on your feet. (We won’t carry you, Sorry!) Our waterfall tours have different levels of hiking and terrain. If you are concern if a tour is appropriate for your group just email us first and we will help you decide which adventure is best for you.
Yes. One of the things that make Canyoning so exciting is that you are rappelling down the middle of a waterfall! For our waterfall tours it is up to you if you want to swim or jump in.
Gratuity is not included, nor is it required. However, if you feel that your guides did a wonderful job, tipping would be appropriate and is greatly appreciated. A fairly standard tip for a deserving guide could be 10-15% per person.

Needed for 2013, a paradigm change | Historinhas
← David Altig is also skeptical
The FT asks: Will the Treasury change the Bank of England monetary policy remit? Should it? →
Needed for 2013, a paradigm change
Posted on December 30, 2012 by Marcus Nunes under Uncategorized
Simon Wren Lewis joins the debate on the State of Macro.
Is this because the evidence in macroeconomics is so unclear that it becomes very difficult to judge different theories? I think the inexact nature of economics is a necessary condition for the lack of an academic consensus in macro, but it is not sufficient. (Mark Thoma has a recent post on this.) Consider monetary policy. I would argue that we have made great progress in both the analysis and practice of monetary policy over the last forty years. One important reason for that progress is the existence of a group that is often neglected – macroeconomists working in central banks.
According to Scott Sumner the dominant paradigm is not very useful, in fact quite useless
Of course private industry doesn't use DSGE models, they are useless. The macroeconomy is incredibly complex; I recall McCallum once listing 10 types of wage/price stickiness. Most models assume one type. And most models fail to incorporate AD/AS interaction, as when adverse demand shocks reduce AS by leading policy-makers to extend unemployment insurance from 26 weeks to 99 weeks. Most don't know how to identify monetary policy shocks. The DSGE models are incredibly simplistic. I basically "retired" from mainstream macro several decades ago when I saw where things were going, and pursued my own research interests.
There are two possible uses for DSGE type models; identify the costs of macro instability, so that central banks can pick the optimal target, and identify the stance of monetary policy most likely to hit the policymaker's target. But the DSGE models cannot do either. The optimal monetary policy stance is most efficiently resolved by targeting market forecasts of the goal variable. And given the complexity of the macroeconomy, any attempt to use DSGE models to identify the optimal monetary policy goal will depend entirely on what assumptions are built into the model.
The real problem with mainstream macroeconomists is that they are too influenced by "framing effects" and had a giant brain freeze in late 2008. Virtually the entire profession forgot that the central bank has the ability and responsibility to provide an adequate level of AD. Only a fringe group of Aspergy-types looked beyond the framing effects, saw the real problem, and saw what needed to be done. But the profession (freshwater and saltwater) failed us. The central banks do pretty much what a consensus of elite macroeconomists think they should be doing. The profession "owns" the Great Recession, or at least that portion of it caused by inadequate AD. The profession has had the tools all along, but doesn't seem to know how or when to use them. Only 4 years later is it starting to wake up.
3 thoughts on "Needed for 2013, a paradigm change"
A growing consensus for Market Monetarism and yet it all still feels a bit fragile, doesn't it. As the New Year progresses, hopefully we'll all have a better understanding how to proceed! Happy New Year to all.

When Marcus Nunes put his charts on the wall, the picture becomes very clear.
In science, in math, in the real world, the right solution is often (almost always) the most elegant or simple solution. Unnecessary complication is often the bane of clear thinking.

The Big Picture: Where Love Lives ‒ 'This is Only the Beginning' - Stonecroft
The Big Picture: Where Love Lives ‒ 'This is Only the Beginning'
Editor's note: Stonecroft staff member Suzy Shepherd is the creator of the Where Love Lives (WLL) outreach. Here, she tells the story of where this new outreach has been, where it's going, and how you can be part of it.
Where Love Lives (WLL) began with a vision to show women they were seen, they were known, and they were valued by others. My prayer was their experience would lead them to know that Jesus saw, knew, and valued them more than anyone else ever could.
The Gospel begs to be repeated, and this was how God invited me to share it.
The very first WLL event was a dinner for 40 single mommas and their kiddos. Then it grew to 300. The next year, 900.
The night I stood in the middle of 900 women, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper to me, "This is only the beginning." Like Sarah in the Bible, that made me giggle. I couldn't even think of what that might mean. Up until that point, I thought once that night was over, we were done!
But God had much different plans for this message. He led me to Stonecroft, where WLL could begin to take root and grow far beyond what I could have imagined that night.
Last spring, we piloted WLL as a four-part series in homes across the United States. Sixty percent of these home groups had nonbelievers attend. It was an amazing success, with 100 percent of hosts saying they were likely to host it again!
On Feb. 22, 2019, the kickoff session of Where Love Lives will broadcast as a national simulcast. Women from every facet of Stonecroft will host WLL in their own living rooms. After the initial broadcast, groups will meet for four more sessions centered on relationships. With a relaxed setting featuring food, conversation, and connection, women find it an easy way to experience belonging that can naturally lead to faith conversations.
Where Love Lives is a simple, relatable, doable outreach that teaches women four basic principles to find, grow, and sustain the relationships in their lives. Then, it pulls back the curtain to show God is really the creator, author, and sustainer of every life-giving relationship we experience. He is love.
Is God calling you to host WLL in your living room?
WLL is unique because it reaches across ages, backgrounds, or barriers and speaks to a common need every woman experiences. In the coming days, watch for more information about this outreach and specific instructions on how to sign up to host it.
What an exciting time to be part of Stonecroft, as we work as one to reach women for Jesus! He really is Where Love Lives!
Interested in facilitating a Where Love Lives group in your home or church? Contact [email protected] Watch next month's Stonecroft enewsletter and Facebook pages for more information on registering for Where Love Lives as a host or participant.

Plastic free holder unveiled for beer and cider cans
NEWS: Plastic free holder unveiled
Heineken is introducing a plastic-free holder for its beers stocked in UK supermarkets from next April saving 517 tonnes of plastic each year.
The Dutch company says it's investing £22 million into the sustainably sourced cardboard packaging which will replace rings on drinks such as Foster's and Kronenbourg.
The change will be rolled out across Heineken, Foster's and Kronenbourg 1664 multi-pack cans in UK retailers from April 2020 - followed by Strongbow, Bulmer's and John Smith's by the end of 2021.
Heineken spokesperson Cindy Tervoort said: "The effect single-use plastic is having on our planet can't be ignored. Creating an eco-friendly solution that eliminates plastic while still meeting the demands of our beer and cider drinkers has been a big focus in our business.
The £22 million investment will be split between Heineken's Manchester, Tadcaster and Hereford sites The company sells over half of its beers and ciders on draught in pubs around the country through refillable kegs that can be used for up to 30 years.

Leap Year - Geography For Kids - By KidsGeo.com
This year, 2012, is a leap year. What does that mean?
Every four years an extra day is added to the calendar, making
the length of the year 366 days, instead of the normal 365.
Why on earth does that need to happen?
The calendar is supposed to match the solar year, in other words, the length of time it takes for Earth to orbit the Sun once. But things aren't quite that simple. It actually takes Earth 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds to complete its orbit (about 365 1/4 days). Those extra hours gradually add up so that after four years the calendar is out of step by about one day. Adding a day every four years allows the calendar to match up to the solar year again.
However, because the solar year isn't exactly 365 days, even adding a leap day every four years means that the calendar is still out of step by 11 minutes and 14 seconds each year. Over the course of 400 years this would add up to three extra days. In order to solve this problem it was decided to leave out the leap year three times every 400 years. So, the new rule was, a century year (1600, 1700, 1800, etc.) would only be a leap year if it was evenly divisible by 400. This means that the year 2000 was a leap year, but 2100 will not be.
The Egyptians were the first people to think of adding a leap day to the calendar every four years. Later, the Romans copied the idea. In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII reformed the Julian calendar (introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE). By Pope Gregory's time the calendar had drifted 14 days off track. He neatly solved this by lopping ten days off the calendar, telling everyone that the day after October 4th was going to be October 15th. Bad luck for people with birthdays during that time!
The early Roman calendar, way before Julius Caesar's time, began the year with March. It consisted of ten months, each lasting about 30 days, ending with December. They didn't seem to have counted the winter months. It is thought that two extra months, January and February, were added sometime around 715-673 BCE. This would have made February the end of the year, which might explain why a leap day was added to that month. Later it was decided to start the year with January, as that month contained a festival dedicated to Janus, the god of gates (and, later, all beginnings).
With the current system of adding leap days, it will be 3,300 years before the calendar is again off by a day.
Other nations have different calendars and different methods of keeping the calendar in line with the solar year. A day, or in some cases a month, gets added every few years, according to the organization of the particular calendar. The Chinese, for example, add a month about every three years, whereas in Islamic Hijri calendar a day is added 11 times during a 30-year cycle.
It's pretty confusing, but just remember that for our calendar:
An example of the Gregorian calendar when ten days were removed in 1582.
There is a tradition that women are allowed to propose marriage to men on leap days. One day in the 5th century, St. Bridget complained to St. Patrick about the unfairness of the system which only allowed men to propose, so he decided to let women do the asking once every four years!

HONESTY story | My Window
In the post from earlier today I made the statement that no child should have to find the truth about family by going to a courthouse.
That is something I personally have experienced.
While handling my first degree, I had to do everything to complete my financial stuff. I was taken out of my mother's custody by my father and his family. We had just moved into a house, and started to do some makeovers to it. It was used against her. They also took other things that were relatively normal going on in a household with a working mom and used it against her too. Why? I couldn't tell you.
Don't worry, my mother had her faults too. She made it a relatively easy thing for them to do. When you don't show up. The judge can make decisions from that. Your emotional issues don't matter when you are supposed to fighting for your child. You would guess that my father had this great home for me to go to when he made the choice to take me out of my home, right. He didn't. He was renting a room, with a shared bathroom. The courts weren't having it. My paternal grandmother was granted custody of me.
As I got older, I just realized that I was never going to leave my grandmother's home. I was never going home to my mother. And I was never going to live with my father. My mom went on with her life, had a few more kids, got married and stuff. My father never got himself together as an adult but had more children after me.
After dealing with that fact, I pushed through all my primary schooling and went to college. I had to get proof that neither of my parents had custody of me and weren't claiming me for tax purposes. Mostly, because I had been working since I was 14 years old. Any who, I needed court papers for proof and the court house was across the street from the school that I went to. I went there to get a print out. The person told me that I had not had a guardian since I was 15 years old. Neither of my parents returned to court to review the case and figure out where to place me. I didn't believe the clerk and they gave me a print out and showed that there was a date for court that no one responded for.
It brought up many emotions. I got the information I needed went back to the school and told the financial advisor and supervisor everything. She couldn't believe what I had told her. I got full financial aid. Then I went to my parents and my grandmother wanting the truth. My father said he had no idea. Then I found out he didn't have any copies of the court paper work from the proceedings. My mother. She said she see didn't know, but at the same time it would have been too emotional for her to handle. And my grandmother said that it didn't matter. That is all she had to say about that.
it led to my mother finding the box with all the paperwork and her sending it to me in a package. I read through it all. It was all based on lies. Lies my mother told, my father told and my grandmother told. I also found out that family members on my moms side went to court and told stories as well.
Till this day, I do not trust any of them. Telling me the truth would have probably made things so much better for us all. There is one whole side of family I do not speak to because of a lie. And the rest that I do deal with, there is no trust, "create doubt in every truth expressed."

Fantasy hockey mailbag: "Should I panic yet over _____ 's slow start?" - The Hockey News
Fantasy hockey mailbag: "Should I panic yet over _____ 's slow start?"
The season's first fantasy hockey mailbag is, to me, the most important. For one, every team in every league remains in serious contention for the championship. Secondly, November is as much about talking readers out of making moves as it is about talking them into moves. I solicited you folks for fantasy questions this week on Twitter, and a disproportionate number were about slow-starting stars and what to do with them. Let's sort through that early-season wreckage and come up with some diagnoses.
Chris Carveth (@ChrisCarveth): "Last year I drafted Carey Price. Didn't turn out so well. This year I drafted Jamie Benn. Please tell me he'll come around."
Abso-friggin-lutely. You probably know that already, Chris, as Benn broke out for three assists last night. There are several reasonable explanations for his early struggles. First off, he missed the World Cup with core muscle surgery, so he may have started the season at less than 100 percent or at least physically behind schedule. Secondly, the Stars are decimated by injuries to their forward group. That affects the quality of their power play personnel (the top unit is forced to send Antoine Roussel and Patrick Eaves out there with Benn, Tyler Seguin and John Klingberg) and allows teams to key on Benn and Seguin's line even more. Lastly, Benn just had some bad luck. He's scoring on 8.3 percent of his shots. He's a career 13.2 percent shooter. He'll explode soon. Hold onto him tightly, Chris. Non-Benn owners: try a buy-low offer if the Benn team in your league is in last place.
Robert Doane (@Daybreak_Dude): "What the heck is going on with Aleksander Barkov, James Neal, Keith Yandle, Dylan Larkin and John Klingberg? #savemypool"
Barkov: Still good in possession, still playing huge minutes on Panthers' first line, will be fine.
Neal: Shooting 2.5 percent! That's insanely unlucky. Goal explosion should come soon. Still playing on top line with Filip Forsberg and Ryan Johansen.
Yandle: Five points in 11 games isn't that bad for a D-man anyway, is it? Yandle's ice time has increased by more than three minutes from the Rangers to the Panthers. He'll be OK.
Klingberg: Two goals Thursday put Klingberg back on track. He's still a fantasy monster. He'll pile up points as the Stars emerge from their funk.
Ryan Zore (@RyanZore): "Who's a good under-the-radar goalie stash? I have Andrei Vasilevskiy and Joonas Korpisalo some places. Thanks!"
If you have bench space, stashing goalies is always a good idea. You're one injury or trade a way from a league-winning difference maker acquired for nothing. Of your two stashes, I prefer Vasilevskiy. Lightning GM Yzerman has made it clear he's going to trade a goalie, and it makes sense that unrestricted free agent Ben Bishop is the one to go as opposed to Vasilevskiy, fresh off a contract extension. It's not a guarantee Bishop goes during the season, as the Lightning may decide to roll with Bishop on an expiring deal if they're in major Stanley Cup contention.
Korpisalo flashed some ability in relief of Sergei Bobrovsky with the Columbus Blue Jackets last year, no doubt. And a 'Bob' injury is always likely. But Korpisalo also has prospect Anton Forsberg to contend with. Korpisalo isn't my favorite stash.
A few potential big-gain goalies I'd stash: Jacob Markstrom, James Reimer, Calvin Pickard and Juuse Saros. Markstom could become the Canucks' full-time starter if they deal pending UFA Ryan Miller to a goalie-starved team, and mega-prospect Thatcher Demko is just getting his feet wet in the AHL. Colorado's Pickard has shown starter ability and has a potential trade target starting above him in Semyon Varlamov.
Saros is a name to watch given Pekka Rinne's struggles. It's tough to imagine the Predators trading for goalie help when Rinne carries a $7-million cap hit, but they could turn to help from within. The pint-sized Saros has been outstanding between the AHL and NHL this season.
Rene Dorfinger (@Hockeyrenzo): "Got Steven Stamkos, Jeff Carter, Jonathan Toews and Ryan Getzlaf. Who do I sell off for a quality left winger? And how to lure hogs to trade?"
Cross off Stamkos and Getzlaf immediately. It's between Carter and Toews, two great real-life players who have become pretty overrated in fantasy. I would sell off Carter, unless your league awards points for shots, in which case I'd consider the perennially overrated (IN FANTASY ONLY, BE CALM EVERYONE) Toews. Shopping Toews also answers your question about luring hogs, Rene. Everyone loves Jonathan Toews. It's easiest to make a trade in fantasy when you're giving up something valuable or at least perceived to be doing so. Few would call you greedy if you're dangling "THE Jonathan Toews!" as a return piece. Capitalize on that name brand in your hunt for a left winger.
Gordon Weigers (@gordie_tweets): "I drafted Andrew Ladd. Should I just burn my computer in the streets?
Sorry, Gordon, but yes…you should probably stock up on kerosene. I pointed out this week things look grim for the Islanders, and Ladd is at the heart of the problem. He's at the end of his prime, making huge money, with diminished foot speed. He's already been demoted to the third line. He'll surely get another shot to play with John Tavares – the Isles have invested far too much not to ride it out with Ladd – but that'll be the time to shop Ladd. Maybe he'll get a brief boost in scoring, and you can convince a rival owner Ladd is breaking out. I'd get off this ride if possible.
Terry James (@T_James17): "Evgeny Kuznetsov. How long should I put up with his lack of production before looking to move him?"
Kuznetsov's lack of production concerns me a little because it dates back to last season. Including the playoffs, Kuznetsov has two goals in his past 42 games. YIKES. That's a double-take stat. Kuznetsov is more playmaker than scorer, so it's not like we need huge goal totals for him to be valuable, but we want him at least scoring at a 20-goal pace. At this point, standing pat is the only option. His ceiling remains sky-high, as he was a top-10 scorer in the NHL last season and always gets plum linemate assignments in Washington. There's no point trading him when the return won't be full value. You're better off waiting for a rebound. He's too talented to stay this cold.
Tony Cescon (@RedDogHockey): "Do you think Carolina is underutilizing Teuvo Teravainen? TOI/3rd line seems less than optimal for getting the most from him."
Yes and no. In theory, Teravainen's talent should earn him a top-six spot on a Carolina team lacking top-end skill. But Teravainen also has to earn the gig. Just because he's a first-round pick with great hands doesn't mean he's entitled to a major role. He has to put in the work at both ends of the ice. He hasn't yet matured into a 200-foot player. At this point I feel better about his linemate Sebastian Aho.
Dougie Dirwin (DougieDiggles): "Rank Sam Reinhart, Sam Bennett, Robby Fabbri and Nikolaj Ehlers going forward for the rest of the season. Any keepers in that mix?"
Very tough. All four hail from the 2014 draft class, all four entered this season as hot sleeper picks in fantasy, and all four have fallen short of expectations. First off – they're all keepers. I still have high hopes for all four. But I would rank them Bennett, Ehlers, Reinhart, Fabbri, albeit with razor-thin margins between them. Bennett just seems a bit more capable of producing offense on his own. Ehlers has jumped back up to Winnipeg's first line with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Reinhart seems hurt by Jack Eichel's absence. Fabbri is languishing on the Blues' third line. Oddly enough, my pre-season ranks had this quartet in the opposite order. Still, we're splitting hairs. I like all four, I expect all four to improve, and all four are nice targets in keeper leagues.
Tanya (@PlayDagger4Me): "Which scoring option to you prefer and why? #FantasyHockey"
I HATE rotisserie formats. There is no suspense, no excitement from competing against your rivals, no "must-win" nights during the season. It's a race to the end, and most teams know halfway through the season if they're toast. In head-to-head formats, you get the suspense of your weekly matchup, you can trash talk your opponent, and it's far easier to make or up lose ground in the standings.
As for actual scoring categories, I'm anti-PIM, as it seems odd to reward players for doing something that would hurt a team in a real game. I love leagues that add hits and blocks, as it gives real-life role players value. I once won a league with help from my "checking line," which had Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck dominating the hits category. To me, that's fun.

The garden store opened at seven o’clock in the morning. Its large, glass storefront displayed a variety of manual and gas-powered garden tools and overlooked the cemetery across the street. Cassie, a new girl in town, was shivering in the cool air of an early spring morning. She had arrived a few minutes early, hoping to make a good impression on her first day at work. She was waiting outside for Amanda, the store owner, to get there and unlock the door. Her eyes were fixed on something in the distance.
“He’s done that for years. That’s Dora’s grave. She died on her way here one morning. A dumptruck swerved to miss a kid on a bike, overturned, and crushed her car,” Amanda explained.
“Yeah, it was. Arnold never came to terms with it. He sold the store and pretty much barricaded himself up in their house. She was his best friend, so he comes back to her grave every day at five in the morning, the time of her death. Rain, snow, ice – doesn’t matter. He always stops, spends a few hours, lays a single lavender rose – her favorite – from their greenhouse on her headstone, then leaves quietly.”
“No. He’s never been back in. Hardly ever see him in town for anything anyway. Just necessities. He mostly just isolates himself. I think he’s afraid of making other human connections, just in case he loses them too. But what do I know.”
In between customers, Cassie watched Arnold through the window. She saw him talk to whatever part of his wife might still be there listening. He kissed the headstone, left the rose, then walked to his pickup truck and drove away. Cassie surprised herself when she felt a teardrop, ever so slowly, creep down her cheek.

Dallas Reed and Craig Paulsen were classmates in film school and graduated together, tied for tenth spot in class GPAs. They went separate ways for a few years before serendipitously meeting again at Comic-Con. Over cocktails and heavy appetizers, they caught up with each other. Craig worked as storyboard artist and assistant script writer for a small video game company. Dallas had spent his time after graduation writing scripts for local television station commercials. It kept bills paid, but was far from exciting.
Craig, seizing an opportunity to work together with Dallas again, offered an inside tip on a game tester position coming available. It hadn’t been made public yet, but would be advertised soon. He gave Dallas the contact details for Mr. Brantley, the head of quality assurance, and suggested he get in touch before the applications poured in from the public. Craig promised to put in a good word for him.
Dallas knew that as an entry level video game tester, he’d bear the grunt work of endlessly inserting and ejecting disks, booting and rebooting games, or repeating the same in-game interaction hundreds of times and writing reports before he moved up any rungs on the job ladder. Sure, boring at first, but, in the end, the potential for new and exciting things was better than local commercials, so he jumped at the chance. Read the rest of this entry »
For at least the third time that morning, I reminded myself of why I was out in this asphalt desert plastering flyers to windshields already pre-heated from summer’s extended morning sun. Old-timers say that you wear summer in the south. I now understood what they meant. I adjusted my brother’s ball cap I’d borrowed and felt a few tendrils of my sweaty hair attempt to escape from underneath. Hastily, I pushed them back up under the hat and decided that now was a good time to rehydrate.
I made my way back to the mall and entered into the food court. My best friend, Connor, worked at the Diary Queen and was at the register today. Thankfully, I didn’t have to apologize for my appearance or give any details about why I was at the mall looking like that. On a Sunday morning, the mall was definitely not the place to see and be seen.
Though tempted by the thought of my favorite Blizzard or even a brain-freeze inducing shake, I was committed to the responsible choice. “Just a water with lots of ice and a to-go cup, please.” I dug into my jean shorts pocket for the $.25 to pay for the cup.
Connor waived the change away. “Every little bit counts, right? Just don’t tell anybody,” he winked. “You’ll owe me a ride to school when you finally buy that car.”
I took a seat on a bench in the shade outside the food court entrance to savor a few sips before finishing up with the last stack of flyers. I picked up one of the flyers, noting that it was printed in color. Someone had spent more money than the norm. I scanned the ad. It was a call for video game testers. Paid video game testers.
I weighed the potential opportunity in my mind. It probably paid at least as much as papering car windshields. And, it would be air conditioned. But, I knew nothing about video games. My little brother, on the other hand, was probably just the right type. He had done odd jobs for neighbors, finally earning enough to buy his Xbox after a year and a half of saving. Between school, homework and filling every other available hour with trying to earn money to buy my own car, I never had the time to spend with him in front of the TV. I likely wasn’t who they were looking for, but, still, how hard could it be? Read the rest of this entry »
Admittedly, we’re late in posting this week’s fiction fortune generated by the Storymatic. This week, seemed tailor-made for He Wrote, though we have admitted to each other that this week’s character and plot have led us both into dead-ends. Fear not! We are both at our respective keyboards hunting for and pecking out some sort of tales featuring a video game tester and a note on a windshield. It is Sunday, deadline day, so look for our posts to appear here sometime between dinner and Dexter tonight.
And, in case you missed Week 5 – now’s a good time to catch up while you are waiting on the new material. Don’t let your chance to vote for your favorite gravedigger from last week expire!
Our fictional gravediggers have unearthed their secrets this week – who dug themselves in as a favorite? Pick yours by voting in this week’s poll, below.
The ballasts buzzed for a few seconds before the fluorescent lights flickered to life, slowly brightening as they warmed to operating temperature in the chill of an early fall morning. Ansel Greenwood, clad in his Dickies work uniform, dark brown trousers and khaki shirt, stood by the switch, clutching a beaten red lunchbox with his name permanent markered on the side.
He laid his coat down on the wooden workbench, slid the lunchbox into the mini-fridge, and opened the metal overhead door. His boss, Pete Hammond, was standing just outside. Read the rest of this entry »
She kept a firm grip on the warm, now lifeless body of her victim while digging what would serve as its final resting place. The hole wasn’t very deep, but should sufficiently cover the remains, hiding what she had done. Time was of the essence and if she didn’t finish soon, she knew she would be discovered. She tossed the carcass in the slash in the ground she’d just made and then hastily covered the body with loose dirt and leaves. Just then, she heard her name being called and hustled up to the porch. Momma greeted her, as usual, so she allowed herself to relax a little. Momma hadn’t seen what she had done.
Contrary to how it might appear, she was not a killer. Stalking her prey was innate, though truth be told, it was just a game for her; one in which she was always the victor. Well, almost always. One summer evening, her keen eyes spotted a flick of a tail in the darkness. She sprinted in that direction and when she was upon it, her victim had already expired. Puzzled, she nudged it, trying to coax life back into the creature. By that time, Daddy had come up beside her and saw what she had done. She fixed her eyes on his, pleading with him to understand that she didn’t kill it. She found it this way. Daddy gently patted her head and led her back to the house.
She watched as he retrieved a shovel to bury the body. She saw him approach the corpse and then stop and look around, shining his flashlight in all directions. With each sweep of the beam of light, she peered into the briefly illuminated darkness, searching for the body. It was gone! Read the rest of this entry »
Another week and another challenge issued by the Storymatic! So, I ask you, what do a gravedigger and obvious plastic surgery have in common? I have a couple of ideas, but the final answers won’t be revealed until we publish this week’s finished stories. See ya Sunday!
After life got in the way of our week 3 exercise, we challenged ourselves to something new for Week 4 to make up for it. Won’t you take a read through our posts, below, and pick a favorite? Polls are open for 1 week until the stories resulting for the next challenge are posted. May the best short story win!

But as I said earlier, I wish it were true, and hope that it comes to pass. That’s primarily because both our child support and our spousal support laws are woefully deficient in many ways and call out for reform. And there’s nothing more likely to reform them than if the ox being gored is female. The resistance of state legislatures to the reform of both sets of laws strongly suggests the anti-male/anti-father bias of a family law system that’s long been observed. Spousal support in many states simply makes no sense in a world in which women support themselves. Unlike Billy Pilgrim, it’s stuck in time, a past in which women were considered delicate flowers unable to cope with the rigors of the workplace. That the vast majority of them did exactly that concerned no one bent on protecting women.
And, against all the odds, so it is today. It was only a few months ago that the State of Massachusetts finally did away with permanent alimony. But even at that, a woman can make out like a bandit by the simple expedient of saying “I do.” Stories abound of women married for but a short time being awarded huge sums for indefinite periods of time. That such an arrangement clearly promotes divorce apparently never occurs to legislators who routinely extol the virtues of marriage and their “family values.”
Alimony laws need to be reformed so that when it’s awarded, if it is, payments are tailored strictly for the purpose of allowing the paid ex time to get back on her feet and start paying her own way. The notion now is that she’s entitled to the same lifestyle she had when she was married even though she no longer is. That just doesn’t make sense. Marriage shouldn’t be a free ticket to permanent financial security. Generally speaking, adults need to support themselves.
Senseless as many alimony laws are, they remain in effect. But if women really do become the ones on the long-term hook paying husbands who chose to stay home with the kids, you can bet they’ll start to complain. And my guess is that when that happens, the sensible reforms that should have been made decades ago will start to come about.
And the same holds true for child support. The list of problems with child support laws is too long to deal with here, but suffice it to say that support levels are set too high to begin with and when a father seeks a downward modification due to changed circumstances, he finds the deck stacked against him. It takes far too long to get a hearing and the federal money that states collect for every dollar of child support taken in militates strongly against any downward modification. Insiders at child support collection agencies in Michigan and Texas have reported to us that, for states, it’s all about the money. The more they collect from dads, the more they collect from Washington, and that simple fact drives everything they do. Not surprisingly, many state practices in child support collection are draconian, to put it mildly. Those things include lying by state attorneys in establishing paternity as well as debtor’s prison for indigent dads who now, as per the U.S. Supreme Court, have no right to a state-appointed attorney.
Again, I’m hoping for the day when the phenomena perceived by the divorce lawyers polled come to pass. And, ever the optimist, I’ll even say that maybe the lawyers have their finger on the pulse of change that’s not yet appeared in the nationwide data. So far it’s mostly been men complaining, but when women start, my guess is that we’ll see the pace of reform pick up considerably.
And sure enough, the divorce attorneys also see that women faced with paying alimony and child support aren’t any happier about it than are the men.
‘We see women who are every bit as angry as their male counterparts, maybe more so, when they are confronted with the concept of paying spousal support to a man,’ said [president-elect of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers Alton] Abramowitz.

Toyota shakes up marketing unit
LOS ANGELES -- In an effort to focus more on individual vehicle lines, Toyota Division is restructuring its marketing department into product teams.
The realignment means that each nameplate will have representatives for branding, product training, social media, digital marketing, product marketing and marketing communications, said Jack Hollis, Toyota Division vice president of marketing. The existing structure broke the department down by discipline.
"My desire was to have more of a brand focus on every vehicle, where every product team was in charge, from strategy and launch through life cycle to minor changes," Hollis said in an interview last week.
Not every discipline will be represented under the new structure. The incentives, motorsports and engagement marketing sectors will remain separate and autonomous, Hollis said.
Toyota has put all advertising under the slogan "Let's Go Places," but Hollis has said he wants to see more focus on individual products to use cars "to explain the value of company. The model advertising is the critical part of our core Tier 1 advertising. It's less about trying to sell a lineup of products."
The new structure is expected to be in place on May 1. The changes involve only the Toyota brand; Lexus and Scion are not affected.
Employees' responsibilities are being redefined to be more "integrated, flexible and efficient," the company said in a statement. All 80 employees in the marketing department must reapply for newly created positions or leave the company.

EU-DIGEST: Brexit fears stalk currency markets ahead of EU summit - by David Oakley, Elaine Moore and Roger Blitz
Brexit fears stalk currency markets ahead of EU summit - by David Oakley, Elaine Moore and Roger Blitz
Investors are betting that sterling is heading for another big tumble as currency markets are gripped by Brexit fears.
Net short positions on the pound have increased to the highest level since the summer of 2013, according to data from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission.High quality global journalism requires investment.
With prime minister David Cameron expected to announce the date for the vote soon, possibly at the EU summit this week, some investors are predicting a rocky ride for sterling in the currency markets in the next few months.
The pound has fallen about 8 per cent since the middle of November on a trade weighted basis, with investors citing the uncertainty surrounding the Brexit vote, which could come as early as June, as one of the main reasons for the weakness in the currency.
"We need to be prepared for a choppy market," said James Maltin, investment director at wealth manager Rathbones. "The Brexit debate may be about to heat up. It is yet another uncertainty out there that could hit the UK markets."
Some analysts fear a potential Brexit could spark a recession, with Nomura, the Japanese bank, warning that the pound could fall 10 per cent to 15 per cent if overseas investors prove unwilling to finance Britain's current account deficit.
Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England, warned in January that concerns about Britain's exit from the EU could test "the kindness of strangers" that the country relies on to fund its hefty current account deficit with the rest of the world.
Britain has a relatively large current account deficit of 3.7 per cent of gross domestic product. The worry is that overseas investors, which hold £427bn in UK government bonds, or a quarter of the market, might start to sell, putting further pressure on the pound.

September 3, 2018 - Blakes Reman
We remember with special emotion and affection that the very first retreat of Meditation which we attended. This had been the very first time which people were planning to call home with partners associated with people, using the coaches of their ideal Yoga Retreat, at a suburban environment and at an amazing all-natural environment.
Without doubt it had been a Best Yoga Retreat Thailand and maybe not really a recreational escape, the conviviality, the methods of Hatha Yoga in the afternoon the more superb vegetarian food and also much seriousness dwelt, awakened in me personally, such admiration involving this job which, by the conclusion of their home we all thought: "the way we'd really like to prepare and ease a Luxury Yoga Retreat".
It's inevitable at any time in the livelihood of a yoga educator, this thought of coordinating a Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh and meditation may be. You can click here http://www.uluyoga.com/ for more information about the yoga training.
Often times that this initiative is driven by the pupils, without needing to dismiss someone of the advantages of Yoga, ask your teacher this kind of activity to go deeper, more possess significantly more training time and naturally, additional time for you to curl up.
The stability and reference to oneself that are created at an escape, is hard to explain using words. Certainly, it's an experience both as a professional as an organizer, you've got to call home at least one time in your own life.

Cincinnati sacks leader Trey Hendrickson and three other starters are among five Bengals that were placed on the COVID-19 reserve list Tuesday.
Arizona, who has qualified for the playoffs and can still win the NFC West, added two backups to the COVID-19 list in defensive tackle Zach Kerr and linebacker Tanner Vallejo. The Cardinals play Seattle.
San Francisco, which needs a win over the Los Angeles Rams or a New Orleans loss to reach the postseason, also had two backups sidelined, both defensive backs, in Dontae Johnson and Jimmie Ward.

Might explain why "greasy chicken wing" and others with similar coloration were hot.....we might have even done better if we had downsized our spoons.....just sayin. Everything was up real high in the column, top 15 ft.....flat lines behind boards, jet 30's back 30, super short dipsey settings (16-27), short rigger settings, etc.

The OrchidNerd.com Blog
To me, orchids symbolize all that is exotic and bizarre in the natural world, and has done so pretty much since time began …or at least since we became obsessed with their sensuality and awesome eclectic weirdness. The boundary between stark madness and unbridled devotion among the people in the orchid world is rather blurred, which makes life a bit more interesting.
The Orchid Column
The Fuqua Orchid Center showcases the Atlanta Botanical Garden's large and diverse collection of orchids. Orchids are exhibited year round in the 16,000 sq. ft. display space, consisting of landscaped areas and seasonal displays.
I started this site for beginners, like me, who want to find easy and accessible answers on how to care for orchids. I have compiled many of the good ideas from the web and local growers that have helped me care for my orchids and I hope you find this information helpful.
I want to show you everything about how to grow these cuties, such as how to take care of orchids, how to choose a plant, how to grow one indoors or outdoors and what to look for in cut flowers, plus much more!

Reconciling pixels and percept: improving spatial visual fidelity with a fishbowl virtual reality display (2020)
Virtual Reality (VR) has fundamentally changed how we can perceive three-dimensional (3D) objects in a virtual world by providing pictorial representations as 3D digital percepts rather than traditional 2D digital percepts. However, the way we perceive virtual objects is fundamentally different from the way we perceive real objects that surround us every day. Therefore, there exists a perceptual gap between the virtual and real world. The research described in this dissertation is driven by a desire to provide consistent perception between the two worlds. Bridging the perceptual gap between virtual and physical world is challenging because it requires both understanding technical problems such as modeling, rendering, calibration and sensing, but also understanding how human perceive 3D space. We focus on a Fishbowl VR display to investigate the perceptual gap by introducing new techniques and conducting empirical studies to improve the visual fidelity of digital 3D displays.To create a seamless high-resolution spherical display, we create an automatic calibration approach to eliminate artifacts and blend multiple projections with sub-millimeter accuracy for a multiple-projector spherical display. We also perform an end-to-end error analysis of the 3D visualization, which provides guidelines and requirements for system components. To understand human perception with the Fishbowl VR display, we conduct a user experiment (N=16) to compare spatial perception on the Fishbowl VR display with a traditional flat VR display. Results show the spherical screen provides better depth and size perception in a way closer to the real world. As the virtual objects are depicted by pixels on 2D screens, a perceptual duality exists between the on-screen imagery and the 3D percept which potentially impairs perceptual consistency. We conduct two studies (N=29) and show the influence of the on-screen imagery causing perceptual bias in size perception. We show that adding stereopsis and using weak perspective projection can alleviate perceptual bias. The explorations from this dissertation lay the groundwork for reconciling pixels with percept and pave the way for future studies, interactions and applications.
Design principles for homecare documentation based on classifying and modeling workarounds (2019)
Computer systems are being used in healthcare at an increasing rate, especially in homecare nursing. However, mismatch between the technology and the clinical work has been a concern for clinicians and system designers. This mismatch is a barrier to nurses' work and results in the need to work around the technology. The purpose of this dissertation is to identify design principles for interactive computer systems that reduce the mismatch. This study had four phases: 1) identification and classification of workarounds; 2) modeling and mapping of workarounds to design features; 3) creation of the mapped design features; and 4) refining and evaluation of the design features. An ethnographic study of homecare nurses who provide care for patients with wounds in Vancouver (n=33, 120 hours), indicated that they create and use workarounds. It is possible that this is a manifestation of unsuccessful adoption of an implemented wound documentation system. A user-centred design process was created to identify design principles for such interactive systems. A model from the literature was adapted, the work situation model, to identify and describe the most common workaround situations and their attributes such as tasks, and resources. The results were validated using a questionnaire (n=58). Furthermore, the identified workarounds were mapped to design principles from the literature, with the use of the workaround situation model attributes. This mapping used measures developed for applications of the technology acceptance model in healthcare, to identify a mapping fit for the workaround situations to a dimension of usefulness or ease of use. These dimensions include items such as increased productivity, and lowered mental/physical effort. The mapped design principles were evaluated and refined in iterations of exploratory prototyping (n=15), and experimental prototyping (n=12). A set of 9 design principles were used to create features for a prototype. This prototype used features such as speech recognition, wearable technology, and smart mobile devices. Results of qualitative data analysis (n=27) and questionnaires (n=11) indicated that the prototype was perceived to be useful, easy to use, and a good task-technology fit. This showed that the design informed by homecare nurses workarounds addresses key aspects of technology acceptance.
Shaping Video Experiences with New Interface Affordances (2015)
Watching and creating videos have become predominant parts of our daily lives. Video is becoming the norm for a wide range of purposes from entertainment, to training and education, marketing, and communication. Users go beyond just watching videos. They want to experience and interact with content across the different types of videos. As they do so, significant digital traces accumulate on the viewed videos which provide an important source of information for designing and developing tools for video viewing interfaces.This dissertation proposes the next generation video management interfacewhich creates video experiences that go beyond just pushing the play button. It uses how people view and interact with contemporary video to design strategies for future video interfaces. This has allowed the development of new tools for navigating and managing videos that can be easily integrated into existing systems.To help define some design guidelines for the video interface, a behaviouralanalysis of users' video viewing actions (n = 19) was performed. The resultsdemonstrate that participants actively watch videos and most participants tend to skip parts of videos and re-watch specific portions from a video multiple times. Based on the findings, new fast navigation and management strategies are developed and validated in search tasks using a single-video history (n = 12), a video viewing summary (n = 10) and multiple-videos history (n = 10). Evaluation of results of the proposed tools show significant performance improvements over the state-of-the-practice methods. This indicates the value of users' video viewing actions.Navigating other forms of videos, such as interactive videos, introduces another issue with the selection of interactive objects within videos to direct users to different portions of the video. Due to the time-based nature of the videos, these interactive objects are only visible for a certain duration of the video, which makes their activation difficult. To alleviate this problem a novel acquisition technique (Hold) is created, which temporally pauses the objects while the user interacts with the target. This technique has been integrated into a rich media interface (MediaDiver) which made such interaction possible for users.
Designing online social networks to motivate health behaviour change (2013)
Eating nutritious foods and being more physically active prevents significant illnesses such as cardiac disease, stroke, and diabetes. However, leading a healthy lifestyle remains elusive and obesity continues to increase in North America. We investigate how online social networks (OSN) can change health behaviour by blending theories from health behaviour and participation in OSNs, which allow us to design and evaluate an OSN through a user-centred design (UCD) process.We begin this research by reviewing existing theoretical models to obtain the determining factors for participation in OSNs and changing personal health behaviour. Through this review, we develop a conceptual framework, Appeal Belonging Commitment (ABC) Framework, which provides individual determinants (Appeal), social determinants (Belonging), and temporal consideration (Commitment) for participation in OSNs for health behaviour change.The ABC Framework is used in a UCD process to develop an OSN called VivoSpace. The framework is then utilized to evaluate each design to determine if VivoSpace is able to change the determinants for health behaviour change. The UCD process begins with an initial user inquiry using questionnaires to validate the determinants from the framework (n=104). These results are used to develop a paper prototype of VivoSpace, which is evaluated through interviews (N=11). These results are used to design a medium fidelity prototype for VivoSpace, which is tested in a laboratory through both direct and indirect methods (n=36). The final iteration of VivoSpace is a high fidelity prototype, which is evaluated in a field experiment with clinical and non-clinical participants from Canada and USA (n=32). The results reveal positive changes for the participants associated with a clinic in self-efficacy for eating healthy food and leading an active lifestyle, attitudes towards healthy behaviour, and in the stages of change for health behaviour. These results are further validated by evaluating changes in health behaviour, which reveal a positive change for the clinical group in physical activity and an increase in patient activation. The evaluation of the high fidelity prototype allow for a final iteration of the ABC Framework, and the development of design principles for an OSN for positive health behaviour change.
Byte your tongue : a computational model of human mandibular-lingual biomechanics for biomedical applications (2011)
Biomechanical models provide a means to analyze movement and forces in highly complex anatomical systems. Models can be used to explain cause and effect in normal body function as well as in abnormal cases where underlying causes of dysfunction can be clarified. In addition, computer models can be used to simulate surgical changes to bone and muscle structure allowing for prediction of functional and aesthetic outcomes. This dissertation proposes a state-of-the-art model of coupled jaw-tongue-hyoid biomechanics for simulating combined jaw and tongue motor tasks, such as chewing, swallowing, and speaking. Simulation results demonstrate that mechanical coupling of tongue muscles acting on the jaw and jaw muscles acting on the tongue are significant and should be considered in orofacial modeling studies. Towards validation of the model, simulated tongue velocity and tongue-palate pressure are consistent with published measurements.Inverse simulation methods are also discussed along with the implementation of a technique to automatically compute muscle activations for tracking a target kinematic trajectory for coupled skeletal and soft-tissue models. Additional target parameters, such as dynamic constraint forces and stiffness, are included in the inverse formulation to control muscle activation predictions in redundant models. Simulation results for moving and deforming muscular-hydrostat models are consistent with published theoretical proposals. Also, muscle activations predicted for lateral jaw movement are consistent with published literature on jaw physiology.As an illustrative case study, models of segmental jaw surgery with and without reconstruction are developed. The models are used to simulate clinically observed functional deficits in movement and bite force production. The inverse simulation tools are used to predict muscle forces that could theoretically be used by a patient to compensate for functional deficits following jaw surgery. The modeling tools developed and demonstrated in this dissertation provide a foundation for future studies of orofacial function and biomedical applications in oral and maxillofacial surgery and treatment.
Understanding Image Registration: Towards a Prescriptive Language of Computer Vision (2011)
Vision researchers have created an incredible range of algorithms and systems to detect, track, recognize, and contextualize objects in a scene, using a myriad of internal models to represent their problem and solution. However in order to effectively make use of these algorithms sophisticated expert knowledge is required to understand and properly utilize the internal models used. Researchers must understand the vision task and the conditions surrounding their problem, and select an appropriate algorithm which will solve the problem most effectively under these constraints.Within this thesis we present a new taxonomy for the computer vision problem of image registration which organizes the field based on the conditions surrounding the problem. From this taxonomy we derive a model which can be used to describe both the conditions surrounding the problem, as well as the range of acceptable solutions. We then use this model to create testbenches which can directly compare image registration algorithms under specific conditions. A direct evaluation of the problem space allows us to interpret models, automatically selecting appropriate algorithms based on how well they perform on similar problems. This selection of an algorithm based on the conditions of the problem mimics the expert knowledge of vision researchers without requiring any knowledge of image registration algorithms. Further, the model identifies the dimensions of the problem space, allowing us to automatically detect different conditions.Extending beyond image registration, we propose a general framework of vision designed to make all vision tasks more accessible by providing a model of vision which allows for the description of what to do without requiring the specification of how the problem is solved. The description of the vision problem itself is represented in such a way that even non-vision experts can understand making the algorithms much more accessible and usable outside of the vision research community.
Understanding and supporting transitions with large display applications (2010)
Interactive large displays offer exciting new opportunities for collaboration and work. Yet, their size will fundamentally change how users expect to use and engage with computer applications: a likely reality is that such displays will be used by multiple users for multiple simultaneous tasks. These expectations demand a new approach for application design beyond the conventional desktop application model, where applications are single-user, and intended to support a subset of user tasks. In this research, we develop such a framework based on the premise that large display applications should support transitions—users' desires to shift between multiple tasks and activities. We build this framework from models of how traditional large surfaces such as whiteboards are used to facilitate multiple tasks—often simultaneously. Based on studies of users' whiteboard use, we construct a classification scheme of users' activities with whiteboards, and the role of whiteboards in supporting the transitions between these activities. From a study of meeting room activity, we then develop a classification for collocated activity around traditional surfaces. We further develop models of how users' needs change during their use of large display applications, exploring two contexts: a digital tabletop application for focused collaboration, and a public large display. These studies reveal how users engage and disengage with one another during collaborative work, and the dynamic needs of bystanders. Next, we design and evaluate a prototype that supports transitions between tasks in a scheduling activity using viewing changes. The results demonstrate that users transition between related tasks during such activities, and that viewing changes can support these transitions. Finally, we describe a design space for supporting transitions in large display applications. Taken together, the findings of this research illustrate the fundamental need to develop a new framework for designing large display applications. This work provides a step in this direction by providing rationale and empirical evidence for supporting transitions in this framework. In so doing, it suggests that we realign designers' efforts from the predominant desktop-centric model of application development, and instead to a model that engenders smooth transitions between multiple, related activities.
It's over there: can intelligent virtual agents point as accurately as humans? (2021)
To support effective pointing interactions with an intelligent virtual agent (IVA), the first question to answer is how accurately users can interpret the direction of IVAs' pointing. In this thesis, we designed an IVA and investigated its capability to point to the real world as accurately as a real person. We used a spherical Fish Tank Virtual Reality (FTVR) display as it provides effective 3D depth cues and is situated in real-world coordinates, allowing IVAs to point to the real world. We first conducted an experiment to determine the pointing cue, a fundamental design factor of our IVA. Specifically, we evaluated the effect of head and hand cues on users' perception of the IVA's pointing. The findings provide design guidelines for selecting pointing cues in virtual environments. Following the guideline, we further determined our IVA's other design factors, including appearance, subtleties on how it points, with rationales elaborated. Using our designed IVA, we conducted an experiment to investigate the difference between the IVA and natural human pointing, measured by users' accuracy of interpreting the pointing to a physical location. Results show that participants can interpret the IVA's pointing to a physical location more accurately than the real person's pointing. Specifically, the IVA outperformed the real person in the vertical dimension (5.2% less error) and yielded the same level of accuracy horizontally. Our IVA design mitigated the pointing ambiguity due to the eye-fingertip alignment commonly found in human pointing, which may account for the IVA's higher pointing accuracy. Thus, our findings provide design guidelines for visual representations of IVAs with pointing gestures.
Leveraging students' handwritten notes to link to watched instructional videos (2021)
Handwritten note-taking with pen and paper is still the preferred medium to achieve information seeking and comprehension from diverse learning objects. But students, especially in video-based learning settings, exercise laborious practices to re-find the corresponding video context when reviewing notes. We propose the orchestration of students' handwritten notebook content as interoperable links to retrieve previously watched instructional videos. This work articulates the research objectives in two phases. In phase 1, we analyzed the characteristic features of notebook content of watched videos. And, in phase 2, we investigated student expectations and requirements of the proposed video retrieval system. Analysis of quality handwritten notebook samples and the related video materials in a lab study with ten engineering students revealed distinctive characteristic representations of note content such as text, formula, figures, and chiefly a hybrid of all the 3. A box plot interpretation of notes and the watched video content confirmed that at least 75% of the identified note samples demonstrated a verbatim overlap of 50% or more with the related video content, hinting at its potential use as a query artifact. Additionally, the video references to collected note samples exhibited referencing at three temporal levels: point, interval, and whole video. A 12-student lab study indicated higher satisfaction for video matches returned at the `interval' level and showcased students' existing workarounds for linking back to videos. Overall, students rated a positive Mean score for the system's usability to re-find note-specific video context. A medium-fidelity prototype was built, using off-the-shelf computer vision algorithms, to deduce technology requirements associated with the proposed approach. When tested on the 181 identified note samples, the prototype system matched 77.5% of the samples to corresponding watched videos. The proposed method worked exceptionally well to find suitable videos for textual notes --- yielding a 98% accuracy. The note content overlap with the video results further highlights the fragmented nature of the evaluated accuracy across all three temporal levels. Overall, the presented work ascertains the prospect of augmenting prevalent Personalized learning (PL) strategies, such as handwriting notes for future reference, to easily re-find and connect to the watched videos.
Moves made easy - deep learning-based reduction of human motor control efforts leveraging categorical perceptual constraint (2021)
The human speech motor control system takes advantage of the constraints in categorical speech perception space to reduce the index of difficulty of articulatory tasks. Taking this for inspiration, we introduce a perceptual mapping from speech-like complex multiple degree-of-freedom (DOF) movement of the hand to a controllable formant space, that allows us to leverage categorical perceptual constraints for reducing the difficulty level of hand motor control tasks. The perceptual network is modeled using long short term memory networks (LSTMs) aimed at optimizing a connectionist temporal classification (CTC) loss function. Our motor control mapping network consists of a graph convolutional neural network (GCNN) combined with LSTM encoder-decoder network, that is regularized with the help of the trained perception model. The mapping allows the user's hand to generate continuous kinematic trajectories at a reduced effort by altering the complexity of the task space. This is a human-in-the-loop system where the user plays the role of an expert assessor in evaluating the degree to which the network is capable of reducing the complexity of task space. Further, we quantitatively formulate the index of difficulty of the task space and the throughput of the user and demonstrate that our model is able to perform consistently well in generating trajectories with considerably reduced effort using mouse and data glove-based input devices.
Reinforcement learning of a feedforward controller with soft actor-critic for a reaching task (2021)
Learning to control is a complicated process, yet humans seamlessly control various complex movements. Motor theory suggests that humans start motor learning by learning to act in a feedforward manner. However, it is still unclear how humans learn feedforward control strategies. We hypothesize that this mechanism is governed by the criterion of success (reinforcement) or failure (penalty) of the task. Taking this for inspiration, we investigate how we can learn a feedforward controller utilizing reinforcement learning. Additionally, we investigate how the factors such as the difficulty of the task and noise present in the motor system are related to human motor control.Hence, a one-dimensional muscle-based biomechanical model is built to create a reaching task setup. The model contains an actuator controlled by the antagonistic and agonistic muscle pair and a goal or target to reach. Then, an end-to-end reinforcement-learning-based feedforward controller is learned to estimate control signals while taking the difficulty levels of a reaching task and noise levels into account. To design the learning-based controller, we adapted the model-free RL algorithm ``Soft Actor-Critic". As a result, during training, we observed that the SAC-based feedforward controller has learned to prepare co-activation to reach a target in the kinematic space using a minimum number of controller predictions. Moreover, we found that the controller has learned to estimate high-amplitude muscle activations as a way to adapt to the noise levels in the motor system. Finally, we conducted information analysis similar to Fitts' analysis to determine how the difficulty of the task and noise affected the controller. The effect of the task's difficulty and the noise in the system is determined by finding the relationship between the number of controller predictions, task difficulty, and the amount of noise. Our analysis demonstrates that the number of controller predictions increases exponentially with the increase in the difficulty of the task with the amount of noise kept constant. A linear relationship exists between the number of controller predictions and the amount of noise with ID kept constant. Additionally, we found that the effect of target width is more dominant than the distance, which confirms Welford's observation.
Snake-based tool for supporting interactive tooth segmentation from 3D mandibular meshes (2021)
Mandibular meshes segmented from computerized tomography (CT) imagescontain rich information of the dentition. Inconsistent dentition conditionsin healthy mandible data sets can impair data-driven premorbid shape predictionfor diseased mandibles. We developed a mesh segmentation methodthat includes a preprocessing algorithm using an off-the-shelf non-rigid registration,a surface mesh feature function, and an active contour model usinggeodesic distance. Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) operations areemployed to separate the dentition area from the mandibular mesh. Aneasy-to-use interactive tool was implemented, allowing users to adjust thecontour position.We evaluated our method (preprocessing algorithm and user intervention)by comparing it with the traditional method of manual removal using3D Slicer. The results indicated that our method helped save the manualprocessing time by 40%, which largely improves the efficiency. From astatistical-shape-modeling-based shape completion test, we drew the conclusionthat edentulous mandibular data set could help make significantlybetter premorbid shape predictions (Z=-2.484,p=0.013) than data set withmixed dentition conditions.Besides tooth segmentation from 3D meshes, our research can assistvirtual planning for bone graft placement in the defective mandible andimplant placement in the bone graft. This work forms the underlying basisof a useful tool for coupling jaw reconstruction and restorative dentition forpatient treatment planning.
Talking tube: a novel approach for vocal tract acoustic modelling using the finite-difference time-domain method (2021)
The human voice is a complex but unique physiological process. It involves the neuromuscular control of articulators to form an intricate upper vocal tract geometry, which yields different speech sounds. The existing computational vocal tract models have significant limitations concerning acoustic precision and simulation performance. The high-dimensional vocal tract models can compute precise acoustic wave propagation at the expense of simulation run-time. This thesis aims to fill these lacunae through two major contributions.Firstly, we introduce a novel vocal tract that extends the existing two-dimensional (2D) vocal tract modelling approach while having three-dimensional behaviour. The proposed model (2.5D FDTD) employs the Finite-Difference Time-Domain numerical scheme to discretize and compute acoustic components on a staggered grid. The simulated acoustic outputs of our new model are shown to match with the 2D FDTD vocal tract model at a low spatiotemporal resolution for open static vocal tract shapes. Contrary to 2D FDTD, the model adds tube depth as an additional impedance parameter to the acoustic wave solver by lumping off-plane waves. This technique offers an excellent balance between computational cost and acoustic precision while promising better geometrical flexibility for vocal tract modelling.Secondly, we tested the model's basic capabilities through the acoustic simulation of cardinal English vowel sounds. For realistic modelling of vowel sounds, we built a vocal tract radiation model. We also couple the 2.5D vocal tract with a self-oscillatory lumped-element vocal fold model to illustrate a fully connected articulatory speech synthesizer. This study offers a speech synthesis tool that can generate static vowel sounds and set up a new pathway for lightweight vocal tract modelling and other computational acoustic research.
A comparison between XFEM and SPH in solving two-dimensional fracture mechanics problems, with applications in food breakdown modeling (2020)
Masticatory performance and the occlusal force are two of the main clinical metrics that are used to evaluate the masticatory function objectively. A comprehensive evaluation of masticatory function requires a correlative inspection of these two metrics. The complex multi-variant nature of the human mastication and the limitations of visualization and clinical measurement techniques, complicates the clinical investigation of masticatory function. A biomechanical model of oral food breakdown has the ability to bypass these difficulties. The currently available food breakdown models are either highly dependent on experimental data or are focused on food engineering applications. In this thesis, we attempted to solve these issues by building a two-dimensional fracture mechanics model to simulate the oral food breakdown. The different computational methods available to solve fracture mechanics problems have limits and strengths, which affects the accuracy of their solution. Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method use two very distinct approaches to solve fracture mechanics problems; comparing the effectiveness of these two methods can provide valuable insights into the computational possibilities. As the classical SPH formulation for solid mechanics suffers from numerical deficiencies, we first performed a set of modifications to build a corrected SPH model for solid and fracture mechanics. We solved fracture mechanics benchmark tests using XFEM and the modified version of SPH and investigated their strengths and weaknesses thoroughly. The SPH method eventually was selected to model the food breakdown procedure. We simulated the food breakdown following one chewing stroke using our two-dimensional SPH fracture model and measured the corresponding occlusal force and masticatory performance for a range of different food properties. The food breakdown model was able to simulate the experimental correlation between masticatory performance and the food properties. Although the simulated measurements for occlusal force were in accordance with the previous experimental studies, further detailed clinical investigation is required to validate the force pattern during chewing. The simplified biomechanical model of oral food comminution described in this work can be regarded as the first step toward building a patient-specific model to pre-assess the patient's masticatory function following a maxillofacial reconstructive surgical plan.
Predicting occlusal force and area through a biomechanical simulation of mastication and controlled study (2020)
Currently, most evaluations of patient outcome following mandibular reconstructive surgery are defined by a combination of qualitative analyses consisting of patient-reported functional ability and masticatory performance. Metrics such as occlusal pressure and jaw kinematics provide quantitative assessments of masticatory function, facilitating a more comprehensive evaluation of patient outcomes. This thesis proposes a novel virtual mastication framework for evaluating occlusal force and area based on metrics of masticatory force and kinematics taken in a clinical setting. Statistical shape modeling was used to develop a mandible atlas based on the morphological averages which contribute to both universal model creation and prediction of missing anatomy. The simulation was able to predict clinically verified maximum occlusal forces and contact areas based on data inputs of intraoral dentition scans and jaw constraints provided through a controlled study of healthy volunteers. In assembly with this framework, a validation study of an occlusal force and contact area measurement system (Dental Prescale II) was performed to gain principal masticatory function information with measured accuracy. This work serves as a foundation for implementing virtual tools within the maxillofacial reconstructive surgery clinical workflow.
Video annotations in helping locate in-video information for revisitation (2019)
Rewatching video segments is common in video-based learning, and video segments of interest need to be located first for this rewatching. However, learners are not well supported in the process of locating in-video information. To fill this gap, the presented work explores whether video annotations are effective in helping learners locate previously seen in-video information. A novel interface design consisting of two components for learning with videos is proposed and tested in the task of locating in-video information: an annotating mechanism based on an integration of text with video, and an annotation manager which enables the learner to see all annotations he/she has made on a video and provides quick access to video segments. A controlled lab experiment with 16 undergraduate students as subjects was carried out. Experiment results suggested that the use of video annotations significantly reduced time spent on searching for previously seen video segments by about 5 seconds (p
Development and application of a description-based interface for 3D reconstruction (2018)
Advancements in state-of-the-art 3D reconstruction algorithms have sped ahead of the development of interfaces or application programming interfaces (APIs) for developers, especially to those who are not experts in computer vision.In this thesis, we have designed a novel interface, specifically for 3D reconstruction techniques, which uses a description (covering the conditions of the problem) to allow a user to reconstruct the shape of an object without knowledge of 3D vision algorithms. The interface hides the details of algorithms by using a description of visual and geometric properties of the object. Our interface interprets the description and chooses from a set of algorithms those that satisfy the description. We show that this description can be interpreted to one appropriate algorithm, which can give a successful reconstruction result.We evaluate the interface through a proof of concept interpreter, which interprets the description and invokes one of three underlying algorithms for reconstruction. We demonstrate the link between the description set by the user and the result returned using synthetic and real-world datasets where each object has been imaged with the appropriate setup.
Investigation of a quick tagging mechanism to help enhance the video learning experience (2018)
Video continues to be used extensively as an instructional aid within modern educational contexts, such as in blended (flipped) courses, self-learning with MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), informal learning through online tutorials, and so on. One challenge is providing mechanisms for students to efficiently bookmark video content and quickly recall and review their video collection. We have run a background study to understand how students annotate video content, focusing especially on what words they would use most to bookmark video content. From this study, we proposed to leverage a quick tagging mechanism in an educational video interface comprised of a video filmstrip and transcript, both presented adjacent to a video player. The 'quick' tagging is defined as an easy and fast way to mark course video parts with predefined semantic tags. We use the metaphor of marking and highlighting textbook to achieve our quick tagging interaction. This mechanism was evaluated in a controlled study with handwritten notes. We found that participants using our quick tagging interface spent around 10% longer watching and learning from video on average than when taking notes on paper. Our participants also reported that tagging is a useful addition to instructional videos that helps them recall video content and finish learning tasks.
The effects of immersion and increased cognitive load on time estimation in a virtual reality environment (2018)
The perceived duration of a time interval can seem shorter or longer relative to real time (i.e., solar time or clock time) depending on what fills that time interval. Research has suggested that increased immersion alters a users ability to reproduce a given duration whilst doing a simple task or playing a game in an Immersive Virtual Environment (IVE). Virtual Reality (VR) allows users to experience virtual environments similar to the real world. The contribution of this experimentalresearch is to explore the effects of undertaking a cognitive spatial task and immersion within a VR environment on a persons perception of time. A VR experience using a cognitive task (maze navigation) was compared with a non VR (control) experience of the same task to explore if the effects exist and if the effects are more significant in an IVE compared to a screen-based simple multimedia experience. Also, a VR experience of the environment without any task was compared to the same environment with the cognitive task to establish the effect of a spatial cognitive task on temporal perception. More specifically, this study measured how much temporal distortion is achievable utilizing cognitive tasks in a VR experience. In this thesis the use of cognitive tasks and VR are the independent variables and the perceived duration of the experiment (time) is the dependent variable. Obtained data suggest that being immersed in a VR experience results in 16.10% underestimation of time, while a non-VR experience results in 7.5% overestimation of time. Moreover, navigating mazes that involve a high cognitive load results in 6.45% underestimation of time. Finally, the combination of VR and high cognitive load (navigating the mazes without guiding lines in a VR experience) result in 22.18% underestimation of time. Finally, the implications of this research are discussed at the end of this thesis.
A feasibility study of template-based subject-specific modelling and simulation of upper-airway complex (2017)
The upper-airway complex is involved in a number of life-sustaining functions, such as swallowing, speech, breathing and chewing. Disorders associated with these functions can dramatically reduce the life quality of the suffers. Biomechanical modelling is a useful tool that can bridge the gap between the human knowledge and medical data.When tailored to individual patients, biomechanical models can augment the imaging data, to enable computer-assisted diagnosis and treatment planning. This thesis introduces a model-registration framework for creating subject-specific models of the upper-airway complex based on 3D medical images.Our framework adapts a state-of-art comprehensive biomechanical model of head and neck, which represents the generic upper-airway anatomy and function. By morphing this functional template to subject-specific data, we create upper-airway models for particular individuals. In order to preserve the functionality of the comprehensive model, we introduce a multi-structure registration technique, which can maintain the spatial relationship between the template components, and preserve the regularity of the underlying mesh structures. The functional information, such as the muscle attachment positions, joint positions and biomechanical properties, is updated to stay relevant to the subject-specific model geometry. We demonstrate the functionality of our subject-specific models in the biomechanical simulations.Two illustrative case studies are presented. First, we apply our modelling methods to simulating the normal swallowing motion of a particular subject based on the kinematics (of the airway boundary, jaw and hyoid) extracted from dynamic 3D CT images. The results suggest that our model tracks the oropharyngeal motion well, but has limited ability to reproduce the hyolaryngeal movements of normal swallowing. Second, we create two speaker-specific models based on 3D MR images, and perform personalized speech simulations of the utterance ageese. The models reproduce the speech motion of the tongue and jaw recorded in tagged and cine MRI data with sub-voxel tracking error, predict the muscular coordinating patterns of the speech motion.This study demonstrates the feasibility of using template-based subject-specific modelling methods to facilitate personalized analysis of upper-airway functions. The proposed model-registration framework provides a foundation for developing a systematic and advanced subject-specific modelling platform.
The voice box: a fast coupled vocal fold model for articulatory speech synthesis (2017)
Speech is unique to human beings as a means of communication and many efforts have been made towards understanding and characterizing speech. In particular, articulatory speech synthesis is a critical field of study as it works towards simulating the fundamental physical phenomena that underlines speech. Of the various components that constitute an articulatory speech synthesizer, vocal fold models play an important role as the source of the acoustic simulation. A balance between the simplicity and speed of lumped-element vocal fold models and the completeness and complexity of continuum-models is required to achieve time-efficient high-quality speech synthesis. In addition, most models of the vocal folds are seen in a vacuum without any coupling to the vocal tract model. This thesis aims to fill these lacunae in the field through two major contributions. We develop and implement a novel self-oscillating vocal-fold model, composed of an 1D unsteady fluid model loosely coupled with a 2D finite-element structural model. The flow model is capable of handling irregular geometries, different boundary conditions, closure of the glottis and unsteady flow states. A method for a fast decoupled solution of the flow equations that does not require the computation of the Jacobian matrix is provided. The simulation results are shown to agree with existing data in literature, and give realistic glottal pressure-velocity distributions, glottal width and glottal flow values. In addition, the model is more than order of magnitude faster than comparable 2D Navier-Stokes fluid solvers while better capturing transitional flow than simple Bernoulli-based flow models.Secondly, as an illustrative case study, we implement a complete articulatory speech synthesizer using our vocal fold model. This includes both lumped-element and continuum vocal fold models, a 2D finite-difference time-domain solver of the vocal tract, and a 1D tracheal model. A clear work flow is established to derive model components from experimental data or user-specified meshes, and run fully-coupled acoustic simulations. This leads to one of the few complete articulatory speech synthesizers in literature and a valuable tool for speech research to run time-efficient speech simulations, and thoroughly study the acoustic outcomes of model formulations.
Towards understanding how Touch ID impacts users' authentication secrets selection for iPhone lock (2015)
Smartphones today store large amounts of data that can be confidential, private or sensitive. To protect such data, all mobile OSs have a phone lock mechanism, a mechanism that requires user authentication in order to access applications or data on the phone, while also allowing to keep data-at-rest encrypted with encryption key dependent on the authentication secret. Recently Apple has introduced Touch ID feature that allows to use a fingerprint-based authentication to unlock an iPhone. The intuition behind such technology was that its usability would motivate users to use stronger passwords for locking their devices without sacrificing usability substantially. To this date, it is not clear, however, if users take an advantage of Touch ID technology and if they, indeed, employ stronger authentication secrets. It is the main objective and the contribution of this work to fill this knowledge gap. In order to answer this question we conducted three user studies (a) an in- person survey with 90 subjects, (b) an interview study with 21 participants, and (c) an online survey with 374 subjects. Overall we found that users do not take an advantage of Touch ID and use weak authentication secrets, mainly PIN-codes, similarly to those users who do not have Touch ID sensor on their devices. To our surprise, we found that more than 30% of subjects in each group did not know that they could use alphanumeric passwords instead of four digits PIN-codes. Others stated that they adopted PIN-codes due to better usability in comparison to passwords. Most of the subjects agreed that Touch ID, indeed, offers usability benefits such as convenience, speed and ease of use. Finally, we found that there is a disconnect between users desires for security that their passcodes have to offer and the reality. In particular, only 12% of participants correctly estimated the security PIN-codes provide while the rest had unjustified expectations.
Design of a Casual Video Authoring Interface Based on Navigation Behavior (2014)
We propose the use of a personal video navigation history, which records a user's viewing behaviour, as a basis for casual video editing and sharing. Our novel interaction supports users' navigation of previously-viewed intervals to construct new videos via simple playlists. The intervals in the history can be individually previewed and searched, filtered to identify frequently-viewed sections, and added to a playlist from which they can be refined and re-ordered to create new videos. Interval selection and playlist creation using a history-based interaction is compared to a more conventional filmstrip-based technique. We performed several user studies to evaluate the usability and performance of this method and found significant results indicating improvement in video interval search and selection.
A pursuit method for video annotation (2013)
Video annotation is a process of describing or elaborating on objects or events represented in video. Part of this process involves time consuming manual interactions to define spatio-temporal entities - such as a region of interest within the video.This dissertation proposes a pursuit method for video annotation to quickly define a particular type of spatio-temporal entity known as a point- based path. A pursuit method is particularly suited to annotation contexts when a precise bounding region is not needed, such as when annotators draw attention to objects in consumer video.We demonstrate the validity of the pursuit method with measurements of both accuracy and annotation time when annotators create point-based paths. Annotator tool designers can now chose a pursuit method for suitable annotation contexts.
Investigation of gesture control for articulatory speech synthesis with a bio-mechanical mapping layer (2012)
In the process of working with a real-time, gesture controlled speech and singing synthesizer used for musical performance, we have documented performer related issues and provided some suggestions that will serve to improve future work in the field from an engineering and technician's perspective. One particular, significant detrimental factor in the existing system is the sound quality caused by the limitations of the one-to-one kinematic mapping between the gesture input and output. In order to solve this a force activated bio-mechanical mapping layer was implemented to drive an articulatory synthesizer, and the results were and compared with the existing mapping system for the same task from both the performer and listener perspective. The results show that adding the complex, dynamic bio-mechanical mapping layer introduces more difficulty but allows a greater degree of expression to the performer that is consistent with existing work in the literature. However, to the novice listener, there is no significant difference in the intelligibility of the sound or the perceived quality. The results suggest that for browsing through a vowel space force and position input are comparable when considering output intelligibility alone but for expressivity a complex input may be more suitable.
The effects of muscle aging on hyoid motion during swallowing: a study using a 3D biomechanical model (2012)
The ability to swallow is crucial in maintaining adequate nutrition. However, there is a high prevalence of dysphagia among the elderly and a high associated mortality rate. To study the various causes of the associated physiological changes, one must first understand the biomechanics of normal swallowing. However, functional studies of the anatomically complex head and neck region can prove to be difficult due to both technical and ethical reasons.To overcome the limitations of clinical studies, this thesis proposes the use of a 3D computer model for performing dynamic simulations. A state-of-the-art model of the hyolaryngeal complex was created for simulating swallowing-related motor tasks with a special focus on hyoid excursion since reduced hyoid motion is a major indicator of oropharyngeal dysphagia. The model was constructed using anatomical data for a male cadaver from the Visible Human Project and an open-source dynamic simulation platform, ArtiSynth.Hyoid motion data obtained from videofluoroscopy of subjects performing normal swallowing was applied to the model for inversely simulating the potential muscle activities of the extrinsic laryngeal muscles during hyoid excursion. Within a specific range, the model demonstrated the ability to reproduce realistic hyoid motion for swallowing. Selective usage of suprahyoid muscles was also examined and was found to be possible in achieving adequate hyoid excursion for successful swallows.Finally, this study investigated the relationship between muscle weakening and hyoid range of motion using the hyolaryngeal model. Loss of muscle strength is characteristic of the aging process. Simulation of the maximum hyoid displacement under various muscle conditions confirmed a nonlinear reduction in the hyoid motion range under a linear decline in muscle strength. With an assumed rate of muscle weakening, the proportion of hyoid range reduction was estimated for a person at various ages. The results suggest that severe muscle weakening might be required to reduce hyoid excursion sufficiently to impair swallowing to a significant degree.
Unifying the social landscape with OpenMe (2012)
With the rapid rise of the popularity of online social networks (OSNs) in recent years, we have seen tremendous growth in the number of available OSNs. With newer OSNs attempting to draw users in by focussing on specific services or themes, it is becoming clearer that OSNs do not compete on the quality of their technology but rather the number of active users. This leads to vendor lock-in, which creates problems for users managing multiple OSNs or wanting to switch OSNs. Third party applications are often written to alleviate these problems but often find it difficult to deal with the differences between OSNs. These problems are made worse as we argue that a user will inevitably switch between many OSNs in his or her lifetime due to OSNs being incredibly fashionable things whose lifespan is dependent on social trends. Thus, these applications often only support a limited number of OSNs. This thesis examines how it is possible to help developers write apps that run against multiple OSNs. It describes the need for and presents a novel set of abstractions for apps to use to interface with OSNs. These abstractions are highly expressive, future proof, and removes the need for an app to know which OSNs it is running against. Two evaluations were done to determine the strength of these abstractions. The first evaluation analyzed the expressiveness of the abstractions while the latter analyzed the feasibility of the abstractions. The contributions of this thesis are a first step to better understanding how OSNs can be described at a high level.
"pCubee: Evaluation of a Tangible Outward-facing Geometric Display" RT118576 (2011)
This thesis describes the evaluation of pCubee, a handheld outward-facing geometric display that supports high-quality visualization and tangible interaction with 3D content. Through reviewing existing literatures on 3D display technologies, we identified and examined important areas that have yet to be fully understood for outward-facing geometric displays. We investigated the performance of a dynamic visual calibration technique to compensate for tracking errors, and we demonstrated four novel interaction schemes afforded by tangible outward-facing geometric displays, including static content visualization, dynamic interaction with reactive virtual objects, scene navigation through display movements, and bimanual interaction. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the impact of display seams and pCubee's potential in spatial reasoning tasks respectively. Two stimuli, a path-tracing visualization task and a 3D cube comparison task that was similar to a mental rotation task, were utilized in the experiments. In the first experiment, we discovered a significant effect on user performance in path-tracing that was dependent on the seam thickness. As seam size increased beyond a thickness threshold, subjects relied less on multiple screens and spent longer time to trace paths. In the second experiment, we found that subjects had significant preference for using the pCubee display compared to a desktop display setup when solving our cube comparison problem. Both time and accuracy using pCubee were as good as using a much larger, more familiar desktop display. This proved the utility of outward-facing geometric displays for spatial reasoning tasks. Our analysis and evaluation identified promising potential but current limitations of pCubee. The outcomes from our analysis can help to facilitate development and more systematic evaluations of similar displays in the future.
Moving Target Selection in Interactive Video (2010)
In this thesis, we present the results of a user study that compares three different selection methods for moving targets in 1D and 2D space. The standard Chase-and-Click method involves pursuing an onscreen target with the mouse pointer and clicking on it once directly over it. The novel Click-to-Pause method involves first depressing the mouse button to pause all onscreen action, moving the cursor over the target and releasing the mouse button to select it. The Hybrid method combines the initial pursuit with the ability to pause the action by depressing the mouse button, affording an optimization of the point of interception. Our results show that the Click-to-Pause and Hybrid methods results in lower selection times than the Chase-and-Click method for small or fast targets, while the Click-to-Pause technique is the lowest overall for small-fast targets. We integrate the more practical Hybrid method into a multi-view video browser to enable the selection of hockey players in a pre-recorded hockey game. We demonstrate that the majority of correct player selections were performed while the video was paused and that our display method for extraneous information has no effect on selection task performance. We develop a kinematic model that is based on movement speed and direction in 1D as an adjustment to the effective width and distance of a target. Our studies show that target speed assists users when a target is approaching, up to a critical velocity where the direction is irrelevant and speed is entirely responsible for the index of difficulty. In addition, we suggest that existing linear and discrete models of human motor control are inadequate for modeling the selection of a moving target and recommend the minimum jerk law as a guide for measuring human motor acceleration. By combining our empirical results from moving target selection tasks in 1D with our theoretical model for motor control, we propose an extension to Fitts' Law for moving targets in 2D polar space.

A related problem is that if writers and researchers out-rank the editor in terms of pay and status, the editor may be seen as low-status.
Editors may have trouble assessing and developing their own status in the organisation because they do not know how writers perceive or value what is involved in editing. The following study indicates what writers like and dislike about editors (Rude 1991).

One Korea Global Campaign Song Played at the Inter-Korea Summit
May 2, 2018 | Korean Dream
Following the historic Inter-Korea Summit where South Korea President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared the end of the Korean War, global attention was brought to the One Korea Global Campaign when its song "One Dream One Korea" played during the finale of the summit's closing ceremony.
One K Global Campaign aims to garner support for reunification of the Koreas through K-pop concerts, a unification documentary film (now being filmed), and a series of Unification Songs that started with One Dream One Korea in 2015.
President Moon himself, at the time the head representative of the liberal Democratic Party, appeared in the original music video along with the opposition party leader of what was called the Saenuri Party at the time.
Crossing barriers of genre, profession, political affiliation and more, Korea's brightest came together to express the wish to "be a family again." The release of the One Dream One Korea song in 2015 led to the creation of an entirely new genre of music focused around the message of hope for reunification.
It is worth noting that prior to the third Inter-Korea Summit, North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un had attended a peace concert held at the East Pyongyang Grand Theatre in early April. The show featured, for the first time in years, South Korean K-pop stars. The BBC reported that Kim was "moved" by the peace concert, which ended with a performance of "Our Wish is Unification," a song with deep roots in both the Korean Independence and Reunification movements.
It was also reported that the North Korean leader proposed more cultural performances between the two countries.
Even while it becomes difficult to measure the impact of cultural exchanges, the fact of Kim Jong-un's interest in further engagement with the South — directly preceding the Inter-Korea Summit — serves to underscore the important role culture and arts can play in soft diplomacy.
Artists continue to join efforts for the new, eagerly anticipated One K Unification Song, once again composed by Kim Hyung Suk. The song now includes over 20 K-pop stars and is set to be released in August 2018.

What did you do in the shop today? - Page 600 - Blacksmithing, General Discussion - I Forge Iron
Page 600 of 680
I was just in my local goodwill looking for flatware, and they told me it had all been bought by a mysterious stranger with a beard and an army cap....
My best Salvation Army store find was a set of *old* silver plated cutlery where the silver was flaking off the carbon steel underneath it. 25 UScents apiece. Of course they did have solid mother of pearl handles and a sterling silver ferrule on each one...
Nice find Thomas! I need to do more searching at salvage places, maybe someday I'll get lucky like that too, or maybe not. Either way, I'll be able to find something usable (and consequentially something to clutter my space LOL)
That one wasn't me. Haven't been out for any in a while. Was out once recently but they didn't have any bundles worth while. Hmm. Who knew I'd have bought up the future supply too.
Don't forget estate sales, if the thrift stores are not forthcoming.
Everything is as usual. There is not enough space in the workshop. New work retractable ladder.

thinking about mixing corn with the charcoal and see how that works
Have you used corn before? It's like bituminous coal in that it needs to "coke". I'm not sure how it would work just mixing it with charcoal. It might smolder until it cokes up properly.
Definitely post an update after you've tried it. I'm curious as to how it goes.
I read about using corn on this forum. I figure I could let it coke up on the sides of of the firepot. It would be a $5 experiment and if it doesn't work I could always feed squirrels.
so "goodwill' is that thrift store? i need to get out and grab some thing to hit on (anvil replacement) but cant seem to find time
Yes, Goodwill Industries is a nonprofit that runs a chain of thrift stores.
We also have St. Francis, my old lady is a manager at one. She runs the antique store. She found me a Zippo with the "Shop Smith" logo on it. If i dated the Zippo right it is late 60's, 68 or 69, from there. She keeps an eye out for anything i can use but not much in the way of old tools and such come in.
I have not been following to close and not sure why we are talking about flat ware, but cheap flat ware can be had at the Dollar General also. I think it is mostly just cheap stainless stuff but that is where we bought it at when i was a boy scout to take camping. They may not have them in Canada but i am sure ya'll got something akin to a dollar store.
Mr. M.J.L.,
Th Salvation Army has thrift throughout Canada. They are just like the Goodwill stores.
The Roman Catholic Church runs similar stores. They are called Saint Vincent de Paul. They have many stores, in the U.S.A. and Canada.
Google "thrift stores Canada" . and you may find other such enterprises.
Made a little Forge Buddy on Monday. 3/4 square and 1/2 round. Pretty straightforward after the Anton Yakashev figure the NWBA demonstrated in November, and I spent most of December completing. This makes for 6 or 7 figurative projects since lockdown started (and forge access has been 15 feet out the back door all day!)
Michael- Please don't be offended by this. For me, it's a compliment in every sense of the word. He looks a bit like a Kerbal from Kerbal Space Program. Except his eyes are concave, not frighteningly convex. Ok, not that much, but still gave me a chuckle to think about.
Today I retried mokume... didn't end up exactly how I wanted, as I know I have some cold shuts, and only ended up with 7 of my 12 quarters, but it's a start. I need to sand it a bit more and polish, but does anyone have any suggestions on coloring? I was going to just let it color itself through the air or use ammonia and salt, but I thought I should ask.
Next time I want to use more coins and make sure I don't drill as deep. Also I need some higher grit sandpaper.
After sanding- I need higher grit paper and a buffing wheel. Still looking for an echant or something.
The copper seems to be darkening, so I'll probably just leave it alone besides polishing it more when I get new paper.
Michael, I love your forge buddy. I want to do one too, but I know if I did I'd start talking to it while I forge.
Well after work yesterday I was going to run out to the shop and Oil my new spike lifter with BLO and rack it; but my wife ended up buying firewood and I helped unload and stack it till after dark. I did however get in contact with the electric CoOp about getting power to the shop so that should start progressing again!!!!! I don't want to put off my retirement just to meet my "get power to the shop before I retire!" goal.
ThomasP i have fire wood to do as well my family gets our 8x20ft flat deck with 4ft plywood sides loaded with 16in chunks with a processor in under 1 hour then we bring it home and take 5-10 hours unloading it depending on who all helps how many large trees went in etc. we are currently around 1/3 done this trailer and it will last the rest of this winter and some of next
I was hoping to get through the winter with what we had on hand and to clean out the wood storage so I can make some changes; but my wife saw a load split to sizes where she can easily manage it on her own. Time to start doing my own cooking I think!
ok we where completely out in the wood shed with only about 2-3 weeks in basements
Time to start doing my own cooking I think!
are you using a wood cookstove?
No---Propane!
As long as you don't lose too many arguments, I think you're good.
Chimaera-he does look a lot like Kerbal Space creatures, Bug eyes would be great, hard to do by punching, maybe rivets? Been trying to figure out a forged Dalek (nerd alert) and those have a lot of 'frighteningly convex' shapes.
Look at the ifi threads on doing suckers on tentacles for an idea on how to get convex blobs.
Either i am just getting old or need to get out more, you kids and your Kurbals and Daleks. Had to look them up, no clue as to what they were.

::*:.the:darling:miss:g.:*::: ::fishies::
I am such a huge seafood fan and lover that it's not even funny - and when it comes to my favorite herb with seafood, or anything for that matter, the first thing {other then Rosemary} that comes to mind is DILL.
Yummmmy yummmy dill weed. Yum!!!
I love dill weed and love when my Mom is in Canada on a trip because whenever we go grocery shopping she takes a bunch of dill weed for me and chops it, puts it into little zip lock bags and then I can throw them in the freezer and take them out whenever I please. No muss no fuss.
I just love the smell of it. If I could bottle that smell up and wear it as perfume I would.
I would smell like a farmer's market.
Here is a little recipe for you guys from the MyRecipes website.
Definitely sounds refreshing and looks super appetizing.
Fresh dill contributes sharp flavor and feathery elegance to this simple flounder recipe. Since heat diminishes the potency of fresh dill, it's best to add it to the dish near the end of the suggested cooking time.
Yield: 4 servings {serving size: 1 fillet and about 2 tablespoons cream}
4 {6-ounce} flouder fillets
1. Prehead oven to 425°.
2. Sprinkle pepper and salt evenly over fillets. Place fish on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes; sprinkly evenly with dill. Bake an additional 2 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.
3. While fish bakes, combine sour cream and capers in a small bowl. Place fish on a serving plate. Squeen 1 lemon wedge over each serving. Serve with Caper Cream.
I found this recipe on the website but you can also find it in the Cooking Light Fresh Food Fast, Oxmoor House, April 2009 issue.
I am sure you guys can use your imagination when it comes to figuring out side-dishes to this lovely entree...such as potatoes or steamed veggies...maybe even rice?

Lamp oils - Kemikalieinspektionen
Current: Lamp oils
Oil lamps are petroleum products and can cause serious health damage if someone ingests the lamp oil.
Oil lamps sold and used in the EU must meet certain requirements
Call 112 if a child has ingested lamp oil
Every year, lamp oil or paraffin oil/kerosene causes serious accidents among young children. The risk of accidents is reduced if you store the lamp oil out of sight and reach of children. There is also a risk when leaving a small child unattended in the same room as an oil lamp. This also applies to the lamp when it is not lit.
Every year, children are injured after drinking lamp oil or paraffin oil/kerosene. It also happens that children ingest lamp oil after sucking on the wick in oil lamps. These types of petroleum products can easily get down into the airways and cause life-threatening lung damage. Small amounts are enough to cause breathing difficulties in children.
Packaging for lamp oils must be marked with a hazard symbol and warning text and have a child-resistant closure. They may only be sold in black, opaque bottles that do not hold more than one litre. The purpose is to minimise the risk of small children ingesting the product.
Store bottles containing lamp oil out of reach and sight of children.
Do not rely on the so-called child-resistant closures. Children are still able to open these closures. It just takes longer. Remember to screw on the cap securely after use.
Do not pour lamp oil into jugs, soda bottles or similar containers. This increases the risk of someone ingesting the product.
Never leave oil lamps unattended if there are small children nearby. This also applies to the lamp when it is not lit.
When purchasing an oil lamp, check that it is stable and that the lamp oil is not accessible. Also check that the lamp has a wick guard. The cover should preferably be able to sit on the lamp even when it is lit.
It can be good to know that decorative oil lamps sold to you as a private individual must meet certain requirements according to a European quality standard (EN 14059: 2002). For example, the lamp should be stable, not leak and not be tempting for small children to play with. You must also be able to find the contact details of the manufacturer or importer on the lamp together with information on the standard that applies to the lamp.

Also just moving to a new country is a huge shock to the system. I moved from South Africa to Milan and I have had the opposite change in my body here. I thought I was going to gain so much weight as I eat sooo much pasta and gelato 3 times a week. But I seem to just lose weight or stay the same. Me and my friend from the States discussed this. I think in Europe they put a lot less sugar in things. Also in South Africa I would drive everywhere, here I walk everywhere. I feel lot less stressed about food and diet and exercise here in Italy.
omg! i’m so excited for the second part to this! I recently became more aware of what I eat and how to eat better too.. and am trying to make a lifestyle change.. I’d love to hear your story!!.. p.s. it was really hard to give up milk!!!
How I understand this all! Although the experience is not pleasant and I am sorry you are dealing with it… I thank you for sharing it here !! I also recently relocated to the States from Berlin, and only a few long stays here before have warned me and took the house warming party gift away from me!
Still I leave daily with the mistrust of the food on the shelves in the supermarket, packaged and non-packaged!! and not many restaurants options…American food industry is most corrupted, and if you leave New York the evidence is on the great majority of people’s body!
Hahaha, I LOVE this piece. As a man born and raised in New York, I feel like I’ve developed a taste to most things European and that includes topics like this and how much I despise “New York skinny” women. I’m absolutely sure there’s is a way to balance eating what you like/love and still working out to remain in shape…..but not skinny where you look malnourished. For men it’s nearly a double standard but there’s even a segment of men who subscribe to NY Skinny as well.
My only advice is eat smaller portions of what you normally eat (or find eateries who serve smaller portions) and continue the yoga/jogging/however you like to work out….but then again, what do I know, I’m a slender man myself but don’t exercise. Stay beautiful Garance!
I remember the MASSIVE portion sizes from last visit to NY 13 yrs ago – they haven’t shrunk any then? We were 4 and ordered 4 separate dishes. When the waiter came with the first 2, we thought oh how thoughtful they made it so we can ALL share…..then the other 2 orders arrived LOL!
I totally agree with you about the food additives. As I am responsible for 3 small persons as well as myself, I have been using organic products where possible. I do believe it helps.
Also, I’m afraid I will have to mention that a person’s metabolism slows down with the advancing years – it’s something that happens so don’t beat yourself up about it!
Whereas in Belgium I was eating pasta twice a month here it’s every week 3-4 time per week, so if I want to see the end of a meal without feeling like I am going to explode I have to find subterfuges ;)
Interesting post. I love nyc and the food is great (especially for vegetarians) – But the portions and also class associated with being skinny is creepy. I felt it when I was shopping in the fancy departmen stores – they can tell I’m not local only by my size.. I’m a 2-4.. not the -1 all the rich girlies seem to be.
I love this post. I’m an american living in Spain though right now I’m spending the month in nyc, and I totally see this. In spain I feel like most food is fried, and then fried again, but the truth is what you say about the french, they just don’t eat out that often. And now after being in nyc for just 2 weeks (and eating my way through every neighborhood like there’s no tomorrow), it looks like I’ll be taking back a souvenir on my thighs too! Kind of worth it because everything is so delicious and for me at least, it’s only temporary… Great post!
Smiling but oh so true – we used to call them social x-rays growing up and snigger in our pre-pubescent bodies that ate chips – imagine! But seriously – the shit in the food – not clever – vegan over night … looking forward to post 2 x
I acutally had a similar experience when I lived in Austrlia for a few months. My hostfamily cooked every day from scrach. Normal healthy food. But just like that, despite 40°C in the shadow and no Swiss chocolate around, I gained 5 kilos… The only real difference in my diet that I could discover was that dinner was often prepared in advance and then everyone could heat it up in the microwave (which I never do at home). Luckily, as soon as I was home I shed the extra weight again…

If you've got a really bright idea about a product or service that really solves a problem but don't have the money to take the idea to market then you can turn to venture capitalists for help. The purpose of the venture capitalists is to offer investment of money in exchange for a share in the business; it's not really a loan more of an investment for a share of the profits. If you're really considering asking venture capitalists for investment then you need a professional business plan and an immaculate presentation, you need to grab the attention of the investor and then explain how they could make great returns on their investments.
There are many business plan templates on the internet that you could use to really get your idea across; you should also practice your presentation in front of friends and family until its perfect. I have included the names and contact details of the venture capitalists on the Dragons Den, if you're feeling really confident you could pitch in front of a live audience, otherwise you can contact the dragons individually with your business plan.

To be more accurate you need to contact the charitable foundations that these philanthropists run and ask them for help. You must have a genuine need when asking these philanthropists for help; you can research the most appropriate philanthropists to contact by reading about the areas that they focus their giving on. You'll be able to find a list of millionaires and billionaires on the GivingPledge.Org, Business Week Philanthropy, and Forbes Philanthropy List. Lists of Millionaires Giving Money Away Before you contact these non profit organizations for help you need to really ask yourself whether you have a real hardship or whether you have the ability to get yourself out of poverty. If you've asked yourself the question and still need help and you've already tried public assistance then you should try asking philanthropists for help. A real need would include help with medical treatments, medical bills, school fees, poverty, homelessness and financial despair. Contacting Philanthropists for Help I have included the names and contact details of three philanthropists who have their own non profit charitable foundation, if you've got a legitimate need then you could try contacting these people for help. You must remember that there are hundreds of other charitable foundations that you can try to get help if you're refused help from these agencies. You must also remember that these requests could take months to process so it's important that you have a list of organizations to contact so you can improve your chances.

To reiterate you need to have an excellent business plan and presentation before you go in front on these investors, you must show them that you've got excellent principals and have a positive can do personality. On the other hand you can contact millionaires for help if you're experiencing hardship and need financial assistance and have a real need; the most important points to note is that you must have a legitimate hardship as mentioned above and effectively research the non profit charitable organization so that you can match your hardship to the help offered by the foundation.

Argentina could be the latest to join global mining transparency initiative
Obama administration to overhaul coal mining on public lands
During his final State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama vowed to "push to change the way we manage our oil and coal resources so that they better reflect the costs they impose on taxpayers and our planet."
Three days after that speech his administration made its first significant move in upholding that vow when it announced that it would halt new coal mining leases on public lands.
The move is a significant setback for the coal industry, effectively freezing new coal production on federal lands and sending a signal to energy markets that could turn investors away from an already flailing industry.
Last year, Obama used his executive authority under the Clean Air Act to complete regulations that would limit carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants, the nation's largest source of planet-warming pollution. Republicans have attacked the rules, which could lead to the closing of hundreds of coal plants, as a "war on coal." A halt to new leases would go even further by leaving coal unmined, The New York Times reported.
About 40 percent of the nation's coal is mined on public land, and most of that land is in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming.
Companies can continue to mine the coal reserves under lease, estimated to be enough to sustain current levels of production from federal land for about 20 years, according to the administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because details of the plan had not been made public.
Obama hopes to make curbing climate change a cornerstone of his legacy. The administration's planned action would be the latest step in his ambitious efforts to use his executive authority to tackle climate change, though it could be reversed by another president.

Cats tend to watch things they are interested in. This includes anything that might give them anxiety. If there have been changes in your household or if you have only recently acquired your cat, especially as an adult, or if they have been poorly socialized as a kitten, they may watch you out of a sense of worry and anxiety.
Some cats may have had unpleasant or even traumatic things happen to them in their lives. They may be slow to trust you, no matter how kind you are to them or how good your intentions might be.

What do you believe is the most under-the-radar emerging risk today?
“The most under-the-radar emerging risk today is the lack of investment that organizations are making in risk thinking and developing risk management tools to respond to risk drivers such as shifting business models and cultural norms: The emerging risk of not planning for emerging risk!”
Rebecca Adelman, Founder, Adelman Law Firm. CLM Member since 2013.
“Data security isn’t just about protecting against criminals remotely breaking into computers with encryption and software. Given the broad definition of PII, it’s important to be mindful that losing things such as customer lists, simple documents, job applications, and appointment books can lead to data-security issues that expose businesses to claims.”
Simon Keshishian, Senior Director of Risk Management and Risk Counsel, Red Bull. CLM Fellow since 2010.
“InsurTech. The NAIC says that there are 1,500 startups in the works and Kentucky’s DOI has the first ‘sandbox’ for regulatory innovation. I look for some marriage of parametric/ILS products for consumers—or, at least, much smaller organizations. There is a wonderful opportunity for this in the private flood market.”
John Burkholder, Director of Risk and Insurance, Tampa International Airport. CLM Fellow since 2018.
“I am anticipating an increase in miscellaneous professional liability E&O claims in connection with the growth of the 3D printing industry. The 3D design is the blueprint for the future product, thus designers have a risk of liability in the event of a recall of unsafe products.”

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong investigating Optimum after receiving 500 complaints about internet speed
Leave a Comment / Internet / By akrambakha678
Hartford, Conn. (WTNH) — About 500 complaints has triggered a state investigation into Optimum’s practices, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong announced Monday.
The investigation falls under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices into Altice Optimum customer complaints that the company has slow internet speeds, hidden fees and “unacceptable” technical support, according to Tong.
The investigation will look into records dating back to January 2017. Customers, Tong said, paid for 300 Mbps or 400 Mbps cable internet plans and noticed they weren’t receiving the speed they paid for. The company also had a $3.50 “network enhancement fee.”
If his office finds that the company violated the law, “we will not hesitate to hold them accountable,” Tong said in the written announcement.
“Customers deserve the services they pay for, and these allegations indicate that Altice Optimum has failed to deliver on its word for half a decade,” Sen. Norm Needleman (D-Essex), co-chair of the energy and technology committee, said in the written announcement. “As the internet has become a vital part of everyday life, households relying on these services for employment, education and entertainment can experience significant harm if they lack reliable internet service. If Altice Optimum contributed to that harm, they should face the consequences.”
“Altice shares the state’s goal of ensuring Connecticut residents and businesses receive high-quality service and have a positive customer experience,” the company said in a written statement to News 8. “That is why Altice has been investing across Connecticut, building and deploying a 100% Optimum Fiber broadband network that provides reliable infrastructure and symmetrical internet services to our communities and customers. Connecticut was one of the first areas where we launched multi-gigabit speeds earlier this year to meet the ever-growing broadband needs of our customers, and we also participate in the Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides free high-speed internet service. We are proud to serve our Connecticut communities and will cooperate with state officials to provide relevant information.”
A spokesperson for the company told News 8 that the complains date back to January 2017.
Tong’s office sent Optimum a request for detailed consumer complaints records. The investigation will look into how the company marketed internet speeds and if they knew about the issues. It also wants to know how the company used the “network enhancement fee.”

You can also check if the amount you move the bed corresponds with the amount measured and if this is a linear or more cyclic motion. There's always some play or compliance.
You could measure side to side motion on the side of the blue brackets (flat surface) or clamp something square on the bed to see if it wobbles. It may be a combination of factors. Also check if the rods are concentric with the motor shaft, sometimes the hole with the stepper motor connector is too large, and with a set screw can get off center and wobble without the rod being bent, and may also cause binding.
Even if by touch it seems solid, with a dial indicator you often find there's a lot more compliance than you think. When I did the same with 2040 extrusions I was amazed that a light tough could give 10um compliance very easily.
Also check for inconsistencies in the stepper motor motion, lower the bed very slowly and see if you can detect any lateral movement and how consistent it is (linear or in sudden bumps and jumps). Check if the layer heights are also consistent with full steps of the stepper motor (microsteps per mm or steps per mm) rounding errors or microstepping at weaker points may have some influence.
It sounds possible. Aluminium expands under temperature. Steel spring washers which hold the bed in level are made out of very thin plate. If they heat up they may loose their inner tension as well and the hole bed will lover for a moment. It sounds possible.

Urban Machines: Public Space for a Digital Culture – CSU | Welcome
By Gernot Riether
Gernot Riether, associate professor and director of the School of Architecture at the College of Architecture and Design at New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Board Member of CSU, co-authored a book on information technology and urban space with Marcella Del Signore, associate professor at New York Institute of Technology.
"Urban Machines: Public Space for a Digital Culture" describes how digital technology disrupted city life at the beginning of the 21st century by changing the way we communicate, we gain goods, and we receive information. It also speculates in how these changes may affect the physical public space of our cities itself.
The book depicts a particular landscape of projects that engage information technology to alter public space and social interactions in the urban space. It also addresses a series of questions that affect how information technology will be integrated in public space: Does the internet have to be free for a public space to be truly public? How accessible should the information of smart cities be for its citizens? The book also outlines the potential of information technology to allow citizens to actively participate in the creation of public space.
Through essays, case studies and conversations, this book presents a recent history and overview of the impact of information technologies on the physical public space while providing an inspiring vision of possible future scenarios for the public realm in a digital culture. The book was published by LISTLAB and is available at: https://www.amazon.com/Urban-Machine-English-Italian/dp/889877428

Wallingford Politico: WHA calls lawyer after getting draft audit
WHA calls lawyer after getting draft audit
Board reviews Nere's status, holes in records
WALLINGFORD — Public housing officials are consulting with their attorney to determine whether a draft audit of Wallingford Housing Authority finances could warrant removal of its longtime director, Stephen Nere, according to Chairman Michael Misiti.
The authority released draft results of the forensic audit this week. The WHA operates 317 low- and moderate-income rental units and has an annual operating budget of about $1.5 million. The Housing Authority is funded by tenant rental payments, state grants, and federal assistance administered by state agencies. The state also holds mortgage debt on Housing Authority properties. Besides meeting with its attorney regarding Nere, the Housing Authority board is reviewing the audit report and deciding if further investigation will be requested from the auditing firm that was hired to look for unusual items in financial records, Misiti said. Nere was not available for comment Friday. Since the board approved conducting an audit in May, it has rejected two requests by Nere to have the authority buy out the rest of his contract, which is due to expire next year. Nere, 60, has been executive director for 26 years and makes $100,000 a year.
Misiti said he could not confirm whether Nere had recently requested another buyout.
"We're not in negotiations with him right now, but I would think so," he said.
The audit was formally requested by the Tenant Council earlier this year and later approved by the board to investigate allegations of mismanagement at the authority, which has been embroiled in controversy for more than a year.
Although the audit was approved in May and was expected to take several weeks, holes in financial records and problems with accounting software delayed the work by several months and ultimately made it impossible for the auditor to fully investigate the books, Misiti said.
According to the report, the authority was "not fully using the financial software general ledger function and therefore general ledger activity was not available" for 2006 and 2007. For fiscal year 2008, the auditor found ledger balance reports, but "the trial balance amounts did not reflect activity in a format that would allow the type of analysis we would normally perform."
The report adds that "without a balanced and complete general ledger, we were unable to review the Authority's financial activity to identify items that may be considered unusual or would be identified for further analysis."
Misiti said the board will ask the auditor to explain the unavailability of the records needed to complete a full analysis. Because the authority is required by state housing officials to audit its finances every year, records would be needed for that purpose, he said.
"Was it not available, or was it not available in the manner that he wanted it?" he said. "There are definitely some things that look like there's a problem. Let's say the ledgers are not available, in electronic or paper form. That absolutely says someone's hiding something. Without complete ledgers there's no way you can add up the numbers."
Mayor William W. Dickinson Jr. said the town has no direct oversight of the authority, but if criminal charges were to arise from the audit, they would begin with a criminal complaint brought to the Wallingford Police Department.
"Any inability to complete an audit is extremely unfortunate," he said. "We all have to show details of what we've done and how we've done it as to the use of money."
The $12,000 audit was conducted by Farmington accounting firm Kostin, Ruffkess & Co., with a $15,000 spending cap in case further work was requested. The board asked the firm to study records for three years.
While looking into money given to Housing Authority employees during that time, auditors found two instances in which an advance was given to a worker for a housing conference, but there was no documentation for the expenses or expected refund of the advance, if due. "In one instance only the hotel bill was attached to the travel voucher form and that amount was less than the advance," according to the report. The report also finds that the authority paid employees $50 a day for meals while at conferences of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials, but could find no examples in which meals were not included at similar association events. "We recommend that the Authority revisit this practice as it relates to local conferences since the use of advances is not a common practice for municipal entities," the report states. The report also found that there was no procedure for a bidding process for vendor services and some services were awarded without a written contract or description of work performed.
Auditor Joseph Centofanti wrote that he began with a forensic evaluation of the authority completed in November in order to avoid duplicating investigations of accounting practices. The evaluation last year made more than 50 recommendations to tighten the authority's recordkeeping and procedures. Many of those recommendations were immediately taken up by the board, including locking up checkbooks and keeping a three-part receipt book.
Centofanti was not available for comment.
The recent audit is not the first time Nere has been linked with financial problems. For the past two years, Nere has filed his housing budget after the June 30 deadline with the state, on the last day of two 30day extensions.
According to court documents, two credit card companies won judgments against Nere personally last year, and he has been ordered to pay $78,392.84. Another company, whose case is pending, seeks $53,498.33.
In August, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development completed an investigation into Nere when it found he had used, with board approval, more than $700 to pay his personal lawyer in an unspecified lawsuit. Nere was not required to return the money, but was warned not to repeat the error.
HUD's connection to the WHA is through the state Department of Economic and Community Development, which disburses federal funds to McKenna Court, a 30-unit housing complex for senior citizens. HUD officials did not return calls.
Nere is appointed and serves at the will of the Housing Authority board of commissioners, whose five members are appointed by the Town Council. While members can be removed by the council, only the housing board can terminate the executive director for cause without violating his contract. The housing board, however, has been mired in controversy for the past year and only one current member, Thomas Mezzei, was on the board during the years investigated by the auditor. Earlier this year, two longtime Republican members who served on the board during the three years, Robert Prentice and Patrick Monahan, resigned within a day of each other.
Mezzei, the only Democrat on the board then, said he thought there was enough in the draft report to fire Nere for cause.
"We never spent much time then and our meetings didn't even last an hour," he said. "They just always just did what they wanted, and it was four against one. Right now, little by little, we're trying to get to the end of the road."
Prentice, chairman of the Republican Town Committee, had served 25 years on the board when he quit in February. He later said it was to spend more time with his family and to avoid the political infighting on the board and scrutiny from concerned town councilors. He was not available for comment. The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority, which manages mortgage debt at the WHA, has received the audit, but would not be involved in any potential action that stems from the report, said CHFA spokeswoman Lisa Kidder.

Black Science #14 Review - Black Nerd Problems
ODY-C #5 Review
I know he's our protagonist, but this is most Grant McKay-centric issue in this comic book run yet. When Grant is present, it is often his narration and his lens through which the story takes place. But this is the issue that Grant simply stopping caring about all the superlatives and distractions to become singularly focused on one thing: Saving his daughter. This is a beautiful dance that Scalera and Remender do through the first half of this issue. Grant is recalling all the ways that he abandoned his family, the complex honesty of how he hid from being a father and was inadequate as a parent while simultaneously pushing himself to connect to Pia again. For a comic book that has seen a lot of unceremonious death and surprise tragedy, this might have hit the largest emotional note of the book so far. It is beautifully done.
The second half of the issue deals with the "now what?" part of that equation. The crew is starting to fall apart and they are now aligning behind a singular focus, namely, how Grant has dug them deeper and deeper. This issue has a satisfying pay off as a standalone, but also for how this story will further splinter into different stories moving forward.
I mentioned him briefly before, but Scalera is just KILLING this book. The reason that this book can retain the RPMs at such a high rate is because of Scalera's pencils and instinct for the action and dialogue panels. He has this way of making the action close, almost claustrophobic in a sense while maintaining the largeness and strangeness of the world it's housed in.
Black Science continues to be great, McKay might have his best (most honest) moment and the story opens up even more possibilities for where it will go next. All around, just another can't miss installment of this book.

Finnish Sauna | Vascular Health - Take Care Of Your Heart: Go Vegan
Take Care Of Your Heart: Go Vegan Friday, 15 January 2021 - 21:37
admin on March 17, 2018 — Leave a Comment
Sauna … how 'fashionable' word has become in everyday Rossii.Segodnya, on weekends, people spend not in the bath, as it was before, and sauna, which naturally sounds more prestigious. Now, every year, on December 31 with a Peter Vasechkin friends have not will rest in the bath, and sauna. Yes, it sounds absolutely not … And yet, the sauna differs from the usual Russian bath? Why do our residents prefer her bath? What is special? As a rule, are now among the people There is an opinion that differs from a sauna bath that couples it is created by a water tank located on the stove, but not at the expense of "soft playing" water on hot stones in the bath. Thus to assume that the air in Bole sauna dry than in the bath, that which contributes to reducing the burden on the cardiovascular system.
Yet, looking in an encyclopedia, or studying the history of the sauna, we were surprised to learn that the word "sauna" means "Bath", in Finnish only. The word is, as I hear, I write – sauna. So, in that the source below says that the sauna is not different from the Russian banya! That is, in the Finnish sauna too steamed twigs, pour water on heated stones, and after the sauna or plunge into the hole dive into the lake, is also considered very useful rubbing with snow. Perhaps a common misconception about the distinguishing features between a sauna and steam room started since the appearance of electric furnaces, when in Russia and other countries began supplying stoves for saunas, not just for the "soft playing" water on hot stones. There's just steam created by water-filled containers installed on the stove, by slow boiling of water in the air gradually allocate the necessary steam. These are now the "wrong" and saunas may have caused mass confusion. An interesting fact is that in the bath Finnish sauna, or as they call them, are very popular among the local population. Thus, it is estimated that every third Finn has its own sauna, and in apartment buildings, where no individual saunas – is necessarily sauna in the basement or on the ground floor of the house. However, in other countries – countries in Europe and the CIS, emerging bath is also known as saunas, and it sounds nicer and more modern. For example, in Ukraine are very popular Sauna in Kiev. So now we know that, in fact, concepts such as bath and sauna represent the same phenomenon, only in different languages!

NEW FACES-OLD PLACES
Since being dx'ed w/ bipolar disorder I have let down some of my barriers and allowed many new people and experiences into my life. Are the new experiences in your life exciting or do you prefer dwelling in the old places that are familar to you?
i am dwelling not on the old places or things, i am dwelling on what might come. i am now being tested for cervical cancer. i won't know anything for more than a month or longer, but now, it is the only thing on my mind. the old things in my life, i can't not change. as i learn in al-anon.....the serenity prayer...
to accept the things i can not change, to change the thing i can, and the wisdom to know the difference. i'm still looking for that wisdom. but i;m sure it will find me before i have a chance to look for it. as for the new things in my life, there's not much i do new to excite me. i'm a home body. but when something good does happen, i am happy and joyous. but i do tend to stay where i am comfortable. and that is home.

This young artist was breathing heavily and master heard him saying “I'm useless and if this is what I have learnt to paint I'm not worth becoming a painter. People have rejected me completely. I feel like dying” Master smiled and suggested “My Son, I will prove that you are a great artist and have learnt flawless painting. Do as I say without questioning it. It WILL work.”
Young artist reluctantly agreed and two days later early morning he presented a replica of his earlier painting to his master. Master took that gracefully and smiled. “Come with me.” master said. They reached the same street-square early morning and displayed the same painting exactly at the same place. Now master took out another board which read –“Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I'm new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokes. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please do a favor. If you see a mistake, kindly pick up the brush and correct it.” Master and disciple walked back home.
Moral: It is easier to criticize, but difficult to improve! There are lot of people around us who just wait for an opportunity to critics us. Don't get carried away or judge yourself by someone else’s criticism and feel depressed. Be Yourself.

Onika Tanya Maraj or Nicki Minaj is a sensation alright. I saw her songs(with > 300 million collective hits) Super Bass and saw it rise up the charts and swing teen-music-choices and paint the world pink. Here is the original song with over 170 million hits! If you think it is the best then I have something better. Two kids, Sophia and Rosie, Eight and Five sing to her song and have about 25 million hits between them in less than a month!
A lot of channels found them and get them on air but Ellen takes it a step further. Watch the video below to see.
That is wonderful. I know the kids are too good but am talking about the power of the Internet! The ease with which technology can take you so fast from something so small to something so enormous and sensational. Good luck Sophia and Rosie.
If only we can understand and fathom the mechanics of internet and use them to better reach our target audiences... but isn't that another story?
We have all learnt our lessons in marketing and sales right from childhood. Some of us have been taught in business schools and on job! It all boils down to what to say, how to say and when to say so the listener can comprehend and understand the message without any disturbance.

A iconic piece of Yorkshire – Malham Cove Winter – left Muker today bound for deepest Sussex, bought by a lady who fell for it as soon as she saw it. The painting is a truly stunning piece of work and though I’m very happy it’s sold, I’m pretty sad that it’s left the gallery so soon.

Feet crave fresh air and most shoes don't give them that luxury. You can't always walk around barefoot to ward off sweat, but you can treat your feet right whether they're in or out of shoes. By keeping your feet and shoes clean, you'll help to nix sweaty soles and say goodbye to embarrassing foot odor.

When entering a vat or a private home it is customary to remove one’s shoes. In Laos homes raised off the ground, the shoes are left at the stairs. In traditional homes one sits on low seats or cushions on the floor. Men usually sit with their legs crossed or folded to one side, women prefer solely the latter. Upon entering guests may be served fruit or tea. These gestures of hospitality should not be refused.
Since the head is considered the most sacred part of the body and the soles of the feet the least, one should not touch a person’s head nor use one’s foot to point at a person or any object. Moreover men and women rarely show affection in public. It is also forbidden for a woman to touch a Buddhist monk.
The Laos PDR has large untapped hydropower potential and is situated in a region where electricity demand will likely rise in the long term. There are three medium-scale hydroelectric plants in operation so far, of which Nam Ngum 1 is the biggest with am installed capacity of 150 MW. The three plants, with a combined capacity of 203 MW, reportedly realise less than two percent of the country's hydroelectric potential. In mid-1998, the Theun Hinboon power plant began operation, effectively doubling the country's energy output, with 210 MW of capacity. Agreements have been signed to export 95 percent of this energy to Thailand, with the remaining to be sold within the Laos PDR. Overall, about 70 percent of current hydroelectric power production is exported to Thailand, constituting one of the leading exports of the Laos PDR. Agreements have been signed with Vietnam and Cambodia for future exports of electricity. Development of the country's dydropower resources is seen as a necessity if export earning are to increase in the future. Plas are underway to construct a number of new hydroelectric power facilities, including Nam Ngum 2 and 3, and Nam Theun 2 - the biggest, with an estimated cost of US$ 1.2 billion. Exploitation of natural resources for hydroelectric power production is being carefully evatuated in light of potentially serious environmental implications.

Well done, Drew! Looks like a great set it trails, and your photography is outstanding as usual. Your level of fitness always amazes me. I wish I could hike that fast!!!
Sounds like you’re ready to do the 6 Peak Challenge! Some of us have added El Cajon Peak to the mix for a one day epic hike. If you do El Cajon Peak last (like most do), be sure and park outside the designated parking area because the gate is locked at 6pm (varies by season). ECP will add another 4-6 hours to your day hike and give your legs a real burn after the warmup on the other five peaks. Take lots of water because there is no shade on ECP. Enjoy!

Coronavirus: Bobi Wine wants to airlift people stuck in China; asks Gov't of Uganda to host them
Hon. Robert Sentamu Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine; Courtesy Photo
Kyadondo East MP and People Power leader Robert Sentamu Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine, has written to the Ugandan government requesting it to receive people stuck in China, and keep them until they are able to return to their countries.
Kyagulanyi wants the Republic of Uganda to receive and host people from several African countries undergoing gross human rights violations.
In his letter to PM Rt. Hon. Ruhakan Rugunda copied to Internal and Foreign Affairs Ministers, Kyagulanyi says he recently partnered with a US-based businessman to put together resources to airlift people from China to a country willing to receive them.
In recent weeks, there has been a wave of violence meted on Africans especially in the Chinese town of Guangzhou, where blacks are discriminated against on grounds of spreading coronavirus.
"Working with our friends across the world, we are putting together resources to take care of them while under quarantine for the sake of Ugandans, and while in Uganda for the sake of foreign nationals, until they are able to return to their countries" the letter reads in part.
He says he is in touch with many of them who have reported incidents of targeted attacks; being denied entry into certain public facilities as well as being denied medical care simply because they are blacks.
The people he wants hosted in Uganda also include African-Americans and those from the Caribbean.
Kyagulanyi says his team would love to airlift 285 people using a private chartered flight Quantum Jets –Airbus A330-200.
"I now write to request that the republic of Uganda accept to receive these people" He says. Our teams is available to discuss with you any other modalities related to this arrangement.

Episode 028: Holacracy, Arizona Diamondbacks CEO Derrick Hall, and Fine Print
Home/episodes/Episode 028: Holacracy, Arizona Diamondbacks CEO Derrick Hall, and Fine Print
Thanks to our sponsor, the Customer Experience Professionals Association! Please find more details about the CXPA for individual or corporate members.
Zappos innovates again with holacracy
Arizona Diamondbacks CEO Derrick Hall invigorates the baseball fan experience
Why we hate fine print!
Will Zappos win with non-traditional management?
Zappos is in the news once again for implementing a management concept called holacracy. This concept throws out the idea of managers as decision-makers. Decision making is distributed through self-organizing teams instead of a traditional pyramid hierarchy.
Adam wonders about how this will be handled from a human resources perspective. Jeannie raises lots and lots of questions about this idea, including how different generations might respond to this.
And finally…how will this affect the customer experience?
Jeannie has a special interview with Derrick Hall, one of the most innovative and respected leaders in Major League Baseball. Derrick sat down with Jeannie at the CXPA Insight Exchange in San Diego in May, where he was one of the keynote speakers.
Jeannie asks Derrick about why all leaders have to fail, how to help employees push the envelope and take chances, and still meeting business needs.
Jeannie does her best "Katie Couric" with Derrick Hall of the Arizona Diamondbacks
Listen in to hear this unique opportunity to hear about innovation, talent management and the customer experience in one of the world's most popular sports.
Huge thanks to Derrick for making time for us at the Insight Exchange!
Discussion begins at 5:40.
Customer Hero, Customer Zero: Fine Print Is Never a Hero
Adam graciously says fine print is a necessity, but the way it's used is the problem.
Jeannie says it's misleading and hiding things from customers!
Hear about some of the times Jeannie & Adam have been frustrated by the tiny words!
Discussion begins at 17:26.

Donald Trump went straight for the drama tonight at the opening of the Republican Convention with a full pardon direct from the White House on TV.
In a pre-recorded video near the beginning of Night 2 of the RNC's virtual gathering, the former Celebrity Apprentice host exercised his presidential prerogative for criminal justice activist and Hope for Prisoners, Inc CEO Jon Ponder. Ponder was handed a 5-year sentence behind bars for bank robbery, Upon his release, he founded the non-profit that provides rehabilitation services to former convicts and seeks to help them gain employment.
"Jon's life is a beautiful testament to the power of redemption," Trump said, with Ponder and former FBI Agent Richard Beasley bookending him. "I will continue to give all Americans, including former inmates, the best chance to build a new life and achieve their own American Dream."
On a night that is drenched in politicization, the previously announced Executive Grant of Clemency follows a lackluster opening night for the GOP that resulted in low viewership. Themed as "America, Land of Opportunity," tonight will see Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaking from the Middle East and First Lady Melania Trump as the headliner addressing viewers from the recently renovated Rose Garden.
The Ponder pardon and its presentation is reminiscent of when Trump awarded conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh the Medal of Freedom in the grand setting of the House chamber at the State of the Union. That reality TV moment has reportedly become a gold standard for Trump in how he wants to be seen playing the role of POTUS — and tonight was a redux.
While some pundits praised the pardon for Ponder — they blasted the president for doing it as programming for a political convention. On CNN, Van Jones said that while Ponder's story is a "beautiful story," but, "I don't think it is appropriate to do it at a political convention …It's a sacred power the president has, only executive has it, and you end up cheapening it, and you're using it as a political stunt, and I don't think that is necessary."

Github APIs provide a wide variety of data, such as events, repos, and users. I implemented a few charts for one authenticated user, specifically, to see your popular repos by fork_count, stargazers, watchers etc. The thing is, in spite of these per-repo-based activity data, it is not easy to get aggregated data for repos, it is either beyond the request limit or there is no historical data(for example, you can retrieve activity data within 90 days). After looking around on the Internet, the only feasible way seems to be using Github Archive Data, which is stored and updated in Google BigQuery.
You can activate Google BigQuery as mentioned here, once you get access to this dataset, you can query data similar to the way you use SQL(but not exactly the same), the you can download the result CSV file.
However, in my case, I need to query relevant data for each user, and hopefully update query within latest month dataset. CSV files won’t work then.
Fortunately, google provides APIs including BigQuery api. I should be able to get data similar to the way I query Github API.(I also kept the Github API in Express Router as well).
As you can see here, both JavaScript and Node.js client libraries are still in early-stage development. I intended to manage all data API on the server side by using node.js client library, but it didn’t work well at the time being, the good thing is the browser javascript library worked.
So I’d like to take notes of both libraries, hopefully I can unify the APIs either use Python or a stable Node.js client library.
The official documentation is a good start. And just a reminder, we need to use OAuth2 for google apis as well.
Basically, what you need to do is to use the client.js to initialize the process, and authorize the request with some essential information such as client_id, project_id, and ‘scope’.
The node.js client library OAuth2 is similar to what was mentioned in previous posts. Users click on auth button, they will be redirected to a authorization_url which is generated by the library, the authorization_url is a consent page where users confirm the authentication, after that, page will be redirected to the callback url you specified in your app, with a code parameter. The next step is to use this code to exchange an token, save that token and use this token for each request.
The node.js library is still in alpha stage, I am not sure if the timeout in exchange code for token has sth to do with it, or it is a bug on my end, it didn’t work as I expected though. So I will be using both Github API and browser javascript client library for githubarchive data.

"Following the NATO treaty and the agreement for joint military bases in Bulgaria I think this will be the next strategic step that would enhance the security of the country, the region and the whole of Europe....This shield should be [placed] above all member states of NATO and the EU.†(Focus News Agency, June 10, 2007)
Nor could Russian fears be alleviated by the announcement the same month that "NATO defence ministers agreed at their Friday meeting in Brussels to initiate procedures for adding a short-range missile defence system in Eastern Europe to the on the US proposes that would also include Bulgaria." (Sofia News Agency, June 15, 2007)
Slightly over a year after the US-Bulgarian bases accord had been inked it was announced that US troops were heading there and Romania and "The bases are part of an ambitious plan to shift EUCOM′s [the Pentagon′s European Command′s] fighting brigades from western Europe - mostly Germany - to forward bases closer to the Caucasus, the Balkans, the Middle East and Africa, for a quicker strike capability." (United Press International, May 18, 2007)
"′When this rebasing process is complete, two-thirds of USAREUR′s [United States Army Europe and Seventh Army′s] maneuver forces will be positioned in southern and eastern Europe,′ [EUCOM and NATO′s top commander John] Craddock told the U.S. Senate in written testimony. "USEUCOM has requested $73.6 million to build out Mikhail Kogalniceanu Air Base, Romania, and to establish a forward operating station in Bulgaria." (Ibid)
The Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base received the first US troops deployed to Romania in 2007 and has hosted the US European Command′s newly formed Joint Task Force East, formerly the Eastern Europe Task Force.
As soon as the Bulgarian and Romanian "full spectrum" air, land and sea bases were acquired, the Pentagon moved to expand and integrate them with its other Black Sea military partners, Georgia and Ukraine.
Referring specifically to the Romanian bases, it was reported that "It is also possible that troops from others nations would go to the sites to train, and that U.S. forces based there would, as part of their six-month tour, travel to nearby nations such as Georgia and Ukraine for shorter training missions." (Stars and Stripes, July 8, 2007)
In May of 2007 the commander of US Air Forces in Europe, Gen. Tom Hobbins, "visited with defense and air force leaders in Bulgaria and Georgia May 14-16 to discuss air force capabilities, modernization and future goals." (U.S. Air Forces in Europe, May 18, 2007)
The same commander the following month, described as looking "eastward to the Black Sea and southward into Africa," said: “Both Bulgaria and Romania have over a dozen projects where runways are being enhanced, facilities [and] buildings are being built. So we′re actually taking advantage of the fact that there′s a lot of NATO money being spent...." (Air Force Magazine, June 2007)

Does London have enough resilience and preparedness to stop the loss of life and property to fires, floods and other extreme climate events during the climate emergency?
Tweet Share
Hansard source
Sadiq Khan Mayor of London
We’re seeing more frequent, extreme events due to climate change, and my team has been working to support Londoners - through, for example, our cool spaces network, the roundtable we established following last year's floods, and our work in July to leaflet 45,000 basement properties to warn them of flooding danger and advise residents on how to prepare. We are now forming a pan-London group to oversee the development of London’s first citywide strategy to manage flash flooding.
The London Resilience Partnership is well prepared for extreme weather and regularly reviews procedures and updates the London Risk Register. Revised procedures after last summer’s flooding enabled swifter collective responses to this year’s weather events.
We are in regular contact with Thames Water and Ofwat, calling for them to invest in London’s water infrastructure and cut wasteful leakage. This has unlocked hundreds of millions of investment.
But as the Climate Change Committee continues to stress, more is needed to adapt the UK to climate change. Recent heatwaves show how ill-suited our buildings are to rising temperatures; yet there is still no legal requirement to fit homes, schools, hospitals or care homes for our changing climate. We need to install shading, better ventilation and reflective roofs, alongside the insulation needed to improve energy performance and keep us warm in winter.
The government must overhaul building regulations, strengthen planning policies and fund widespread building retrofit; starting with those most vulnerable, so we can adapt to the climate emergency.

The cool part about being an extra is you don’t have to have any formal training to do it. Casting directors look for people of all ages, depending on what they are working on; young people are in high demand. But it’s not as easy as just showing up on set and working. Some extras might need an agent who will then tell you about the parts you can go for.
Agents are not easy to get. You’re going to need to put together a portfolio and hand it out to any agent you can think of. In your portfolio you’ll need headshots (which cost between $200-500), a five-minute demo tape (which shows you a bit) and a resume. This is where having training helps. While you don’t need to have formal training, it will help you acquire an agent faster. There’s a lot of competition out there. Film school helps. Taking individual courses at local acting schools helps too, if you can’t afford (or aren’t ready) to go to film school full-time.
Being an extra is never the same everyday. One day you could be playing an alien, the next a dead creature or maybe a kid in high school.
Movies have to shoot whenever the time is right- and a lot of the time that means at night, outside. Sometimes you have to work from 6pm to 6am, outside, in the cold. Not fun. And about 70 percent of the time, you’ll have to work over 12 hours a day!
Under no circumstances are you allowed to approach or talk to celebrities on a set you are working on. So if you think extra work is a great way to meet all your Hollywood idols, think again. If a celebrity approaches you, that’s totally cool but you have to remember that this is work and not a movie premiere- so leave those cameras at home.
The average extra will make approximately $10 per hour for the first eight hours of work. If they need you to stay on set longer, you’ll make more make as the hours drag on. Every hour after 12 hours of work you’ll make approximately $20 an hour.
“Get an agent. Even if you only want to work during the summer, get an agent just for the summer. And talk to your parents, if you are young, because they’re the ones who are going to have to take you to all the sets and sit with you while you wait to go on.”
Embrace Your Age! Don’t Try Be Young Forever Alright, you perpetual 25-year-olds! You can’t be young forever! Yes, showbusiness has a long history of actors lying about their age. And why not? Hollywood,…

Hot on the heels of their proposals to remove guards/conductors from Southern services, Govia Thameslink Railways Ltd (GTR) are now proposing even more passenger misery through 84 Station ticket office closures and reduced opening hours and services at others with the resultant loss of more jobs.
These damaging cuts on the Southern and Great Northern Thameslink services fly in the face of the fact that there is still a clear need for staffed ticket offices at stations. Indeed, all the research shows that many passengers prefer to buy from the ticket office rather than from a ticket machine. Replacing staffed ticket offices with ticket machines, or mobile staff expected to sell tickets on platforms, will undoubtedly limit the quality and range of services available to passengers.
Consultation on these changes is being rushed through and there is only limited time until midnight on the 13 March to register your objection with either London Travel Watch or Transport Focus.
We are urging everyone both individually (and collectively as an organisation where you can) to let the relevant watchdog know that you oppose these changes and are concerned about their implications.
Please click on these links to send an email, or letter, direct to either London TravelWatch or Transport Focus who are the relevant bodies responsible for all the individual stations that are listed below by March 13, 2016:

Stamped Concrete Essendon | "Professional & Affordable"
Stamped Concrete Essendon
Stamped Concrete Near Essendon
Do you want an affordable yet elegant and aesthetically pleasing finish? You might want to consider stamped concrete. It is often called patterned concrete. It resembles natural stones such as flagstones, tiles, wood, or bricks. What's good about stamped concrete is that it's affordable compared to natural stones. You can choose from a wide variety of colours, sizes, textures, and styles that will easily match and complement the current design of your home or business.
Concrete stamping seems to be an easy job – but in reality, it's complicated. You will need to be equipped with the tools needed to finish the job. It's best to hire a professional who has a deep knowledge of concretes to do it for you. If you're a fan of DIY, this won't work for you. A simple mistake can cost you more. Therefore, it's better to leave it to the concreting experts.
Process of Creating Stamped Concrete
If you're still confused about how stamped concrete works, or how it is made, we will briefly explain it to you.
To start the process, you will need to choose your preferred design, base and accent colours. Your accent colour will be added to the cement mix.
After the application of the releasing agents, stamping tools will be pressed on the cement to make the pattern or design you chose. It will take 12-24 hours before it can be washed and cut. Lastly, the application of a sealant will be done. It is recommended to add a non-slip additive since it would be slippery after sealing it.
Affordable compared to natural stone
Can combat wear and tear
Can resist heavy loads and traffic
Endless design, textures and colours to choose from
Can last up to 20+ years
Compared to natural stone, weeds won't grow in it because it doesn't have cracks or gaps for dirt to settle in
Yes, you can! Although, it is best to wait for 7 days of cure time after it is placed.
Where can I install stamped concrete?
Stamped concrete is widely used in residential or commercial properties. We often install it on driveways, patios, sidewalks, and garage floors.
It can also add elegance in your countertops, kitchens, bathrooms, family rooms, or hallways. It can also enhance and add accent on the walls or existing concrete floors.
Is stamped concrete very slippery?
It depends on the type of pattern you will choose, but most stamped concrete is more slip-resistant than conventional concrete. If this will be an issue, we also offer anti-slip agents to reduce traction issues.
Why do people choose stamped concrete over natural stones?
These are numbers of reasons why stamped concrete is more practical than natural stone:
It's affordable and looks just like the same
You don't have to worry about weeds growing between the gaps

Westworth Police Department
This program aids in having more eyes and ears on the street to deter crime and help to report suspicious activity. Participants must have successfully completed the Citizen Police Academy prior to appointment as well as ride with one of our police officers for 8 hrs, giving them a basic understanding of calls for service and situations the officers must handle. When both phases of training are completed, they are then eligible to patrol in our specially marked vehicle. At no time will the citizen respond to active police calls or carry a weapon.
The Citizen Police Academy is a program designed to foster better communication between citizens and police through education. The Academy creates a nucleus of well-informed citizens who possess greater insight into police practices and services. Graduates of the Academy can share their knowledge and experiences with the community as the opportunity arises. Everyone benefits from enhanced citizen understanding of the role and function of their police department.

IEEE Xplore Abstract - Avoiding packaging mismatch with flexible packaging
1 Author(s) R. DeLine
To integrate a software component into a system, it must interact properly with the system's other components. Unfortunately, the decisions about how a component is to interact with other components are typically committed long before the moment of integration and are difficult to change. This paper introduces the flexible packaging method, which allows a component developer to defer some decisions about component interaction until system integration time. The method divides the component's source into two pieces: the ware, which encapsulates the component's functionality; and the packager, which encapsulates the details of interaction. Both the ware and the packager are independently reusable. A ware, as a reusable part, allows a given piece of functionality to be employed in systems in different architectural styles. A packager, as a reusable part, encapsulates conformance to a component standard, like an ActiveX control or an ODBC database accessor. Because the packager's source code is often formulaic, a tool is provided to generate the packager's source from a high-level description of the intended interaction, a description written in the architectural description language UniCon. The method and tools are evaluated with a series of experiments in which three wares and nine types of packaging are combined to form thirteen components

OECD Report: Reforms commenced in Latvia in the area of finance and justice should be continued to introduce in practice | Tieslietu ministrija
OECD Report: Reforms commenced in Latvia in the area of finance and justice should be continued to introduce in practice
On Wednesday, 16 October, the OECD Working Group on Bribery (OECD WGB) has published the assessment of Phase 3 for Latvia, indicating that the results of combating of bribery are still not proportional with the cross-border bribery and money laundering risks it is subject to. OECD indicates that it is necessary to transform positive changes in legislation into further practical application thereof. At the same time it should be mentioned that accomplishments of Latvia so far has convinced WGB that enhanced supervision mechanism should not be determined for Latvia and the next report on the performance of recommendations in determined in the autumn of 2021 according to general procedure.
OECD indicates that since 2014, when Latvian joint the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, there is no cross-border bribery case forwarded for trial to the court and examination at the same time takes place in three such cases. No financial institution is so far called to justice regarding its role in the cross-border bribery schemes or money laundering.
At the same time it is indicated in the report that reforms of recent years in the areas of finance and justice in Latvia indicate on significant positive changes in this area, which have minimised risks for the possibilities of cross-border bribery and money laundering in Latvia, as well as sufficiently effective reforms are commenced and already partially implemented, in order to stipulate such changes in laws as well as in practice. Besides, WGB indicates that these reforms are in the initial stage thereof and minimisation of the national risks and combating of established violations and crimes should be continued.
The report provides detailed assessment, establishing that the commenced reforms are correct, they should be continued and strengthened. 44 recommendations are given at the end, driven towards the fact in order Latvia would completely ensure fulfilment of the requirements of the Convention. Key recommendations are made in the following areas:
To plan sufficient resources and knowledge to those authorities, which reveal, examine and try the foreign bribery and related money laundering;
To enhance introduction of the principle of imminent punishment over those legal and natural persons, in particular in the financial field, which are involved in the foreign bribery and related schemes;
To strengthen cooperation between KNAB (the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau of Latvia), State Police and Prosecutor's Office, in order to ensure strategic access to investigation of complicated economic crimes;
To ensure effective supervision and control of the financial sector.
The above-mentioned assessment is already the third in a row with regard to performance of Latvia on implementation of the requirements of the Convention. The Convention determines an obligation for Latvia to criminalize bribery of foreign officials, to effectively reveal and investigate it, call persons, both, natural and legal, to criminal liability and to impose effective and deterrent punishments. In addition, Latvia has an obligation to ensure that also crimes related to such bribery, namely, laundering of proceeds of crime and accounting violations, are effectively resolved, investigated and persons are called to justice. That includes also effective supervisory and prevention measures in order to not permit bribery and related crimes and violations in the financial system and entrepreneurship.
Since Latvia joined the Convention, the Ministry of Justice coordinates the work of all authorities with regard to fulfilment of the requirements of the Convention. Performance of set tasks should be provided by the Ministries of Justice, Finance and Foreign Affairs, KNAB, State Police, Prosecutor's Office and courts, FCMC, FIU, SRS, SAO and Altum. In relation to the draft report, Latvia has to provide a report on the fulfilment of recommendations in October 2021.

The basis to the current IP protection lies in the international conventions. The industrial revolution (1760 to around 1840) paved the way for new methodologies and ideas in the industrial sector. This lead to plethora of inventions especially in the field of science and technology. This prompted the need to protect the inventions across the countries. But, the issues involving documentation and synchronisation of local laws were soon required to be addressed. Few countries especially from the west took the initiative thus leading to various meetings which took the form of conventions.
Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks, 1891 followed by a protocol in 1989.
International Convention for the protection of performers, producers of phonograms and Broadcasting Organisation, also known as the Rome convention 1961
Trips agreement, 1994
WIPO treaty on Phonograms and Performances, 1996
Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired or Otherwise Print Disabled-2013
All these conventions have had tremendous contribution to the growth and improvisation of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) across all sectors.
The growing number of applicants and increasing awareness with respect to inventions there was a need to streamline the procedure involved. The step by step procedures were different in each of the countries thus complicating the patent grant procedure right from the filing stage.
Seeking patent protection in each and every country of consent involved complexities of Language and boundaries. Apart from administrative hitch it also involved huge expenditure.
The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT):
It is an international patent law treaty which brings the applicants across the member states into one platform. The treaty was concluded in 1970. A patent application filed under the PCT is called an international application, or PCT application.
The preliminary criterion for the membership is that the country wanting to be a member of the PCT should first be the member of a contracting state of Paris convention treaty.
The procedure involved in PCT is also referred to as the International Procedure. The procedure may be broadly divided into four stages:
The application stage involves filing the requisite information at the receiving office which is actually the National Patent Office. The language specified in the PCT regulations can only be used for framing the contract. The copies of the application are submitted in two – one to International bureau and the other to competent International Search Authority. At any point of time the document may be communicated to the competent office or to the applicant or vice versa. After 18 months from the date of priority the international patent application is published.
The search stage involves conducting the search by a relevant international search authority. Some of the certified search authorities by the PCT include Canadian Intellectual Property Office, European Patent Office, Indian Patent Office, IP Australia, Israel Patent Office, Japan Patent Office, Korean Intellectual Property Office, Nordic Patent Institute, Rospatent, Spanish Patent and Trademark Office, State Intellectual Property Office, Swedish Patent and Registration Office, United States Patent and Trademark Office, Visegrad Patent Institute to name a few. The international application along with the international search report is communicated to each of the designated office.
The international preliminary examination is the next step. The request for International preliminary examination is optional. In case the applicant demands for an examination then a request for the international preliminary examination must be filed prior to the expiration of one of the below subjecting to whichever expires later: First being three months from the date of transmittal to the applicant of the international search report and the written opinion and the second one being 22 months from the priority date.
The authority responsible for conducting the examination is the International Preliminary Examination Authority. This examination is conducted in order to advise the applicant whether the application concerned involves an inventive step and is industrially applicable or not. This gives the applicant a good overview about the patentability aspect of the application.
Post the international search and the preliminary examination, the international application the reports are sent to the designated country/ countries of the applicant followed by the prescribed fee. The patent is granted on National basis. The application enters the national phase in the 31st month from the date of priority in most of the countries.
PCT ensures that an applicant initially files only a single application and designates any number of countries which are the signatories of PCT. Earlier each of the application had to be separately catered for in each and every country where the applicant wished to apply.
The PCT as a pact has contributed in accelerating access by the public thus leading to the progress of technical and scientific innovations at large and also contributing tremendously to the economy.

We suggest not to go too deep into the frightening theme, but to use Halloween kid party ideas as the cause for fun. You can use some not very threatening paraphernalia to make handicrafts with children, cook something delicious Halloween style, change into costumes, and the main thing is to play different games. Look for these child Halloween party ideas in our article.
We can’t do without a pumpkin. The pumpkin is the main symbol not only of Halloween but also of autumn. Choose a pumpkin, preferably with thin skin, and get to work! If you don’t want to carve the evil face, you don’t have to. Make the pumpkin smile or make a patterned lantern from the pumpkin.
Use a water-based felt-tip marker to erase it easily in the future, take the pumpkin and draw a face or pattern you like on it. Consider the fact that cutting with a regular sharp knife is not the safest of ideas for kids Halloween parties, so try to avoid too small details.
Lunch can also be turned into a fun activity by preparing special Halloween dishes. For this purpose, offer your child to take part in the cooking. Naturally, you should intrigue your child. A magical lunch or afternoon should look unusual. Show your imagination and specially decorate the dishes, or use our Halloween children party ideas.

More than a million people could be pushed to 'absolute poverty' after mini-budget, think-tank warns - healthyfrog
More than a million people could be pushed into 'absolute poverty' after Rishi Sunak's mini-budget, think-tank warns
Think tank warns households face average real-terms squeeze of £1,100 this year
From next month 1.3m more households will be pushed into 'absolute poverty'
Typical working-age household incomes are set to fall by 4 per cent in real terms
Published: 00:59 GMT, 25 March 2022 | Updated: 01:48 GMT, 25 March 2022
More than a million households could be pushed into poverty while the richest face losing £3,000 a year after the Chancellor's mini-Budget, a think-tank warned yesterday.
It said UK households face an average real-terms squeeze of £1,100 this year.
The Resolution Foundation said from next month 1.3million more households will be pushed into 'absolute poverty' – defined as having an income below £14,000 for a childless couple and £8,000 for a single person.
It will be the first time Britain has seen such an increase outside a recession.
The foundation said typical working-age household incomes are set to fall by 4 per cent in real terms in 2022-23 – a loss of £1,100.
It added that the largest falls will be among the poorest quarter of households where incomes are set to fall by 6 per cent – £310 – while the richest face a real-terms squeeze of £3,206 – 2 per cent of their income.
UK households face an average real-terms squeeze of £1,100 this year, according to a think tank. Pictured: Shoppers in Princes Street, Edinburgh, on Thursday
The Chancellor Rishi Sunak pictured during a visit to Caunton Engineering, a steel manufacturing business, in the East Midlands on Thursday
Resolution Foundation chief executive Torsten Bell said Rishi Sunak had promised 'support with the cost of living today and tax cuts tomorrow'.
He insisted: 'The policies do not measure up to the rhetoric.'
Despite the increase to the national insurance threshold from July and a 1p cut in the basic rate of income tax in 2024 promised by Mr Sunak, of the 31 million people in work, around 27 million will pay more in income tax and NI in 2024/25.
Mr Bell said: 'In the face of a cost-of-living crisis that looks set to make this Parliament the worst on record for household incomes, the Chancellor came to the dispatch box yesterday promising support with the cost of living today, and tax cuts tomorrow.'
He said Mr Sunak 'has prioritised rebuilding his tax-cutting credentials over supporting the low-to-middle income households who will be hardest hit from the surging cost of living'.

Installing 1. Remove reservoir and upper casting from lower casting. 2. Ream inside of connecting pipes to remove burrs so oil can flow freely. Be sure that all contaminates (chips, dirt, etc.) have been removed to prevent clogging or damage to the bearing. 3. Attach lower casting to bearing chamber either through the side stem connection Type E-EH (Fig. 1), or through the bottom connection Type EB-EHB (Fig. 2). Use thread compound on all threaded plugs and stems before tightening. 4. Check center line of lower casting side stem connection to be sure it is level and parallel with oil level (Fig. 1 & 2). Use spirit level if possible. Should a condition as shown in Figure 3 occur, the lubricator will not function properly. This condition must be corrected either by retapping bearing chamber housing or by adjusting pipes. 5. Fill reservoir with oil, place thumb over reservoir spout, invert and screw reservoir into upper casting. Allow reservoir to empty, filling the housing or bearing chamber (Fig. 5). Depending on the size and capacity of the bearing chamber several fillings of the reservoir may be required before the actual oil level is reached. Never use lower casting only as a fill spout, always fill thru reservoir. When oil level is reached, no more oil will run out of the reservoir bottle. When oil level is reached tighten the three set screws on the side of the upper casting(Fig 4). 6. Start up machine and check to see that the proper oil level is being maintained. If oil level is too low, loosen set screws on the side of upper casting, raise it slightly and re-tighten set screws. If oil level is too high, loosen set screws on the side of the upper casting, lower it slightly, re-tighten set screws and drain oil from bearing chamber, until desired oil level is reached. 7. Once the lubricator has been properly adjusted, no further adjustments are necessary, only a periodical filling of the lubricator's reservoir is required. Note: 1. If the oil level is too high, it splashes, foams and seeps out along the shaft, wasting oil and deteriorating motor windings. Excessive heating of the bearing may also occur. If the oil level is too low, excessive heating, or premature bearing failure will occur. Investigate these problems immediately and correct them so as to avoid extensive machine damage and costly shut downs. 2. If it is found that fans or pulleys cause suction, pulling oil out of bearings while in operation, breather tubes are available: #30014, #30015 which will help relieve this problem. 3. If large quantities of oil are being consumed, or if a longer time between reservoir fillings is desired, Trico offers a large capacity constant level oiler. Available from 10 ounces to 1 gallon capacity and with glass or acrylic reservoir. 4. Consult the factory for suggestions in making the lubricators tamper proof or if lower than standard oil levels are required.

Get Old-time Music And Dance: Community And Folk Revival (Quarry PDF
In the summertime of 1972, a gaggle of children in Bloomington, Indiana, started a weekly collecting with the aim of reviving conventional American old-time tune and dance. In time, the crowd grew to become a type of unintended utopia, a neighborhood sure by means of social gathering and intentionally void of constitution and authority. during this cheerful and interesting publication, John Bealle tells the energetic background of the Bloomington Old-Time track and Dance team -- the way it was once shaped, the way it advanced its designated tradition, and the way it grew to form and effect new waves of conventional tune and dance. Broader questions on the people revival circulation, social resistance, counter tradition, authenticity, and id intersect this pleasant background. greater than a tale in regards to the those that solid the gang or a unprecedented convergence of expertise and creativity, Old-Time song and Dance follows the threads of yankee folks tradition and the social adventure generated via this dwelling culture of song and dance.

Consequently, learning the banjo demanded as much in empathy as it did in technical rigor. There were, in fact, "just a few basic ways of sounding the strings" (Rosenbaum 1968: 5). Through recordings or immediate contact with traditional players, the goal of the novice was to learn to think through the idiom, to reintegrate one's own world, to achieve the idiosyncrasy of the mountain banjo style while avoiding the alien worlds of unbridled improvisation and slavish imitation. If taking lessons, he said, make sure the teacher "shares your bias" (5).
Krassen recommended capos for social settings where fiddlers don't accommodate retuning: "Usually in consideration of the banjo player's tuning predicament, a fiddler will play several tunes in the same key before switching to a new one. Sometimes keys are changed more frequently and then a capo can be quite a help" (1974: 9). The differences in the Rosenbaum and Krassen books were dramatic and mapped the changes that were rapidly taking place in the old-time revival as the decade of the 1960s drew to a close.
Chaps. ) These observations, Rosenbaum emphasized, emerged best from direct and deliberate ethnographic experience—from his own and others' field experiences or local observations—and less by observing the products of their commercial aspirations. The balance of Rosenbaum's career as an ethnomusicological fieldworker confirms that claim (see Gerrard 1995–96). Consequently, learning the banjo demanded as much in empathy as it did in technical rigor. There were, in fact, "just a few basic ways of sounding the strings" (Rosenbaum 1968: 5).

Stories are the framework that we build our lives upon. Our beliefs, our fears, our relationship with the world, with birth, with death, with fate, all come out of the tales we whisper to each other, huddled round campfires in the dark. We have taught ourselves to respond to myth and legend, fable and saga. Fantasy used as a way to understand and codify the callous, bewildering universe around us.
In Habibi, Craig Thompson takes the idea of the story as key to survival and runs with it. Riffing on Islamic and Christian mythology, the Thousand and One Nights and the ways in which language can both divide and unite us, the book is an astonishing, bravura example of how the graphic novel can do things with a story that no other medium can touch.

Print Works: Habibi, Ashes and dire digital downloads
Now, I loves me the ebooks. The Kindle I snagged for last year’s birthday is going strong, and stuffed full of goodness. It’s revolutionised the way I acquire and consume digital long-form fiction–oh, ok, how I buy and read books.
And yet, when it comes to comics and graphic novels, I’m resolutely and unrepentantly old-school. If it ain’t on print, I don’t want it. A lot of that, I guess, is down to the kind of comics I like to read. I’m no fan of masks and capes, and Marvel and DC for the most part leave me cold. I can’t remember the last time I bought a comic – either the flimsy glossy American pamphlet or good old sheddy English newsprint. It’s trade paperbacks and graphic novels for me, at. I’d much rather read a story all at once rather than wait for it to eke out on monthly 22-page instalments.

I am still working on my quilt top. Chookyblue has been very kind to give the extra time to complete the project. I will not be able to complete my quilt before New Year's day. I admire all my fellow stitchers that have completed your quilts. Your quilts are beautiful. Please keep me on the sidebar as I would like to keep you updated on my progress. I have set myself a goal to finish my quilt by the end of January 2013. I know that I cannot join in the next Stitch A Long because I have not finished this year's project.

The Interplay Between Social Security and Workers' Compensation Benefits - Part 2
Contact Lower Gwynedd, Pennsylvania Work Injury Attorney Marla Joseph
Section 202 (w) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 402, provides, in pertinent part:
Section 202 (w) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 402
On the Social Security Administration's official web site, there is a comprehensive chart which outlines the percentage of increase in one's benefits if retirement is delayed beyond full retirement age. This increase applies up to age 70 and is outlined below:
See http://www.ssa.gov/retire2/delayret.htm.
Another practical reason to delay one's receipt of Social Security Retirement benefits would be to avoid an employer's argument that it is entitled to a suspension on the grounds that a claimant has removed himself from the work force. See Fitchett vs. WCAB (School District of Philadelphia), 2013 Pa. Cmwlth. Lexis 95 (April 18, 2013), wherein the court held that the Workers' Compensation Judge did not improperly suspend benefits on the grounds that the claimant had voluntarily retired when the claimant elected to receive Social Security Retirement and pension benefits while still receiving workers' compensation benefits. The court emphasized the WCJ's following findings of fact, which supported the suspension:
Claimant's testimony, however, did not persuade the WCJ, who noted Claimant applied for her Social Security and pension retirement benefits before Employer suspended her benefits in 2003. Moreover, after Employer reinstated Claimant's indemnity benefits in June 2005, Claimant continued to receive Social Security benefits and retirement pension benefits. In addition, the WCJ found nearly all of Claimant's work-related injuries, consisting mostly of strains and sprains, ultimately resolved. However, Claimant did not look for any type of work.
"[A]n employer need not prove the availability of suitable work when the employer establishes, under the totality of the circumstances, that the claimant has voluntarily retired from the workforce." Krushauskas, 56 A.3d at 73 (citing City of Pittsburgh v. Workers' Comp. Appeal Bd. (Robinson), 4 A.3d 1130 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2010), aff'd, ___ Pa. ___, ___ A.3d ___, 2013 Pa. LEXIS 517 (Pa., No. 18 WAP 2011, filed March 25, 2013)). Where a claimant accepts a retirement pension, she is presumed to have voluntarily retired from the workforce. Id. In such a case, the employer is entitled to a suspension unless the claimant can show she is seeking employment or that her work injury forced her to retire. Id.
Here, Claimant accepted a retirement pension and Social Security old age benefits, but claimed she would return to work for Employer when able to do so. Claimant did not testify about looking for any other type of work in the labor market. "The mere possibility that a retired worker may, upon some future time, seek employment does not transform a voluntary retirement from the labor market into a continuing compensable disability." Cnty. of Allegheny v. Workers' Comp. Appeal Bd. (Weis), 872 A.2d 263, 265 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2005) (quoting Se. Pa. Transp. Auth. v. Workmen's Comp. Appeal Bd. (Henderson), 543 Pa. 74, 79, 669 A.2d 911, 913 (1995)). Further, the WCJ did not believe Claimant's testimony that she intended to return to the workforce. This credibility determination is within the WCJ's province as fact finder. Krushauskas. Accordingly, the WCJ did not err in suspending Claimant's benefits based on substantial evidence that she voluntarily retired from the workforce. Id.
Id. at pp. 19-21.
When a workers' compensation claimant is simultaneously receiving Social Security Disability (SSDI) and workers' compensation benefits, his workers' compensation benefits are primary, but the Social Security Administration (SSA) is entitled to an offset based on the claimant's workers' compensation income. Pursuant to Section 224 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 424a, the Social Security Administration will reduce the recipient's federal benefits to the extent that the combined monthly benefits exceed eighty percent of the recipient's average pre-disability earnings. 42 U.S.C. § 424a(a)(5); 20 C.F.R. § 404.408 (2003). Congress instituted this "offset" provision to ensure that claimants did not receive income in excess of their pre-disability earnings, reducing their incentive to return to work. See Richardson v. Belcher, 404 U.S. 78, 83 (1971); Freeman v. Harris, 625 F.2d 1303, 1306 (5th Cir. 1980)." See POMS, PR 04-086.

Board blog: Julia - SPiN Nijmegen
There I am, on the train back home on a Tuesday afternoon. A bit of a cold, but very satisfied. Normally I go home on the weekend, but that wasn't possible in recent weeks. The weekends were full of fun activities. It started at the beginning of April with the board weekend to Porto. The location would be a surprise, but Amber had already spoken twice. Luckily, it didn't spoil the fun, because we had a wonderful tourist, eat and chat weekend in the picturesque Portuguese town. You can see proof that we have been there on the fridge at the common room, there is a nice magnet souvenir!
Two weeks later, it was time to get a the next souvenir, one of Singapore, because that was the destination of the study trip. I had never been to Asia before, so it was pretty exciting. But man, how nice was that! The culture, the food, the warm (sweaty) weather and the group have made it an unforgettable week. Especially the going out night was unforgettable. Next to this, a special thanks to our private photographers, I'm definitely going to make a nice photo album after the exams. Always nice for later.
After Singapore, there was no time to go home last weekend either, since the 47th edition of the Batavierenrace took place. A relay race from Nijmegen to Enschede with a big party at the end at the Twente University campus. I had never participated before, but the atmosphere is really indescribable. I think I will participate again next year, it was really nice! Furthermore, I do not have a souvenir in the form of a magnet, but in the end I had muscle pain and an ANWB membership.
Now it seems as if the board life is one big party and journey, which is actually true, literally and figuratively. That started exactly a year ago, because in the beginning of May, I had my job interview. I remember that I was bloody nervous. Fortunately I applied, because I have not regretted it at all. I got to know so many nice people and members, supervised nice committees and also attended many activities. For example parties, drinks, lectures, the conference, sport activities et cetera. This also means hours of meetings organize everything for you. In addition, I also ensure that the website and application remain up to date. Just look at it more often, it's really fun! And if you have not yet downloaded the app, shame on you:)
As I just said, it has been a year since I applied for a board year, and oh man, time goes fast. And yes, all clichés are true, also the 'time flies when you're having fun'. We have achieved so much with five people and I'm proud of it. A few things will also have to happen in the upcoming months till the constitution of the new board. For example things that still have to be completed, preparations for the new board and saying goodbye to my board clothes. Fortunately, I don't have to say goodbye to the association, I will certainly continue to contribute! Because once a blue heart, always a blue heart!
Secretary SPiN 2018-2019
P.S. This weekend I'm not going home again, because the legendary Active Members Weekend will take place. Exciting!
