Active Wear – Navy Shirt : Part 1
To start altering my t-shirt pattern I took measurements off of this favorite t-shirt of mine. I measured the:
Bust-32.5
Waist – 27
Hem – 33″
Center Back length – 22″
Bicep – 10″
Sleeve length – 6.25″
Depth of neckline – 5.5″
I compared these to my pattern to determine the needed alterations. Here you can see a fine example of negative ease, as these measurements are approximately 4″ smaller in circumference then me, yet the fabric stretches to fit. The sports bra helps as well. lol
The bust on the size 10 measures 33″ and on the size 8 it measured 32. I normally start with a size 12 so I decided on the 10. The 8 just sounded so small….
The waist on the pattern was a little roomy for my taste at 30″and so to make it like my favorite t-shirt above I need to remove 3″ in total circumference. The hem line was larger as well by that same amount.
This means I need to divide my 3″ I want to remove by my 4 side seams. That equals 3/4″. The red line on the pattern side seam at right shows how I drew that in and blended it back out at the bust.
The back pattern piece surprised me with a seam down the back. Curious I thought and completely unnecessary so I drew in a new center back line placing it on the fold and repeated the changes from the front side seam onto the back.
The lengths were all the same as my favorite t-shirt so no changes there.
I prefer a v-neck line although it is a little more difficult to sew, its more flattering to the shape of my face. It mimics my pointy chin and narrow little head causing them to look more harmonious.
Here you will see where I drew in a v-neck line onto my pattern. I will not cut off the original neckline though as I might want to use it in the future, or modify it in some other way.
To determine the depth I used the measurements from my favorite t-shirt again.
This does mean I will need to construct my neck binding differently then the pattern calls for.
To begin my neck binding, I determine that I want it to finish at 3/4″(yet another measurement taken from my favorite tee) I add my 5/8″ seam allowance and double it because the binding is on the fold. I believe this gives me 3″. Now for the length of my binding I measure my neck edge along the stitch line. This leaves me with a 3″ by 24″ rectangle….which I promptly cut out and press in half lengthwise.
To cut the correct angle on my binding strip, which causes it to lay flat at the center front. I mark my stitch line with chalk, place my pattern piece matching my cut line on the pattern to the stitch line on the binding, and then cut the binding parallel to the center front fold line. Now cut the opposing end of the binding to match.
Here my binding has been opened out flat, so that I can sew the 2 ends together. After sewing I clip all the way into the point, trim out the seam allowance. Press the seam allowance open and refold the binding.
Here you can see my binding ready to be sewn into my neckline. But first I must sew the shoulder seams together, which I do using my stretch stitch and staying with a sheer strip. After over locking I am ready to finish my neck edge.
Before I can sew my binding in I mark the stitch line with chalk at the center front. This cross mark is where I will need to pin the point of my binding at the stitch line. I also mark the center back of my neck as well as the binding. With right sides together I begin sewing at the center back and work my way around pivoting at the center front cross mark. I need to snip in with my scissors once I reach this point to prevent catching any tucks on my shirt.
Once my binding is in I over lock it as well and then I top stitch to keep the seam allowance from wanting to flip around on me.
To do my top stitching I return to a normal straight stitch with the length set at 2. I like to use my #5 foot which has this guide running down the center. I move my needle position all the way to the left and stitch with the edge of the seam against the guide. My seam allowance is laying underneath and to the left.
Next I will set in the sleeves and add some fun, so stay tuned. | 0.005995 |

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Let’s Break These Unhealthy Work Habits and Be More Productive
By: Mae Demdam
At Zen Den we’re not the hoodie wearing, Cheetos eating type, although we like both, nor are we Bosu ball sitting and the “shoes off” meeting kind of agency either. We’re a creative agency with individual personalities working together in our best version of a “zen-like” state, but that doesn’t mean we don’t succumb to some of the popular unhealthy work habits.
Since we’re always sharing ideas of how we can improve as a company we thought we’d divulge on the top Unhealthy Work Habits and how to break them:
Staying Put– This habit is visible in any job setting whether you’re in a corporate office environment, hospital, bank, anywhere really if you don’t get up from your desk and move around you are encouraging some unhealthy tendencies.
- Lack of blood flow
- Poor posture
- Weight gain
- Low Morale
- Fatigue
We suggest getting up and moving around. Although it may seem silly to get up and walk around the office a bit sometimes it’s necessary to get you out of “production” mode. Immersing yourself in work can be a bad thing.
Here’s some ways to get moving:
- Get a stand up desk
- Engage with co-workers at the water cooler
- Grab a cup of coffee
- Step outside
- Take a call standing up
Eating at your desk– Guilty as charged! Our team often eats at our desks because of space constraints, but with weather permitting we’ve begun to take lunch to the streets and enjoy our little neighborhood park, Patricia’s Green. When you eat at your desk it can lead to the following:
- Overeating
- Contamination (Did you know your keyboard is dirtier than a toilet?)
- Unhealthy food choices
- Indigestion
It may seem like poor work ethic to leave a project hanging while you step out for lunch, but despite what you may think, that break is necessary. Even if you bring a lunch, step away from your desk and find a new spot to eat. If your office doesn’t have a break room, find an outdoor dining area or a cafeteria setting nearby. Either way don’t eat hovered over your keyboard.
Messy Desks– Things can get chaotic during the workday, thus sticky notes, crumpled papers, stacks or books, etc is normal, but keeping it this way isn’t. Having an unorganized work space can lead to additional stress, anxiety, and also harbors germs. It’s important to learn to let things go, throw away unnecessary papers, clean off your desk with anti-bacterial wipes and organize your files once a week. Not only will you feel accomplished, but when you return to work the next week you’ll come back to a neutral and clean environment.
Laptops– Although these machines are becoming the necessary device to use in the work space they can lead to negative effects. Having a laptop means you have a mobile machine which seems great, but many of us may not be using them wisely, i.e. propping them on our laps or hunching over the keyboard or pulling the screens extremely close to our faces. If you use a laptop try to purchase a tray to elevate the machine as it may improve posture. Make sure your laptop sits in a position that isn’t causing neck pain. Practice chair yoga through the day so you’re joints and muscles don’t stiffen.
Snackingwork snack stash with healthy items like fresh fruit, granola, yogurt and vegetables. Start a healthy office eating campaign and get everyone on board.
Remember a company is only as good as it’s best employees and to be the best you have to take care of yourselves. The majority of our lives are spent at work, thus we need to break the bad work habits to improve our overall health and wellness. | 0.996221 |
If you, like me, belong to the group of people who likes to have a large toolbox, then i bet you've been thinking this thought numerous times: "If only langauge X had this feature Y, that langauge Z have..." Real examples include
- "If only C++ had lambdas like Javascript."
- "If only C++ had modules like Python"
- "If only C++ had garbage collection like Java/C#"
- "If only C++ had list comprehensions like Python"
- "If only C++ had fixed types like Java"
- "If only C++ had modern syntax like Java/C#"
- "If only C++ had more predictable symbol lookup like every other langauge known to man."
- "If only Java had pointers like C++"
- "If only Java had multiple inheritance like C++"
- "If only Java had performance like C++"
- "If only C# had constness like C++"
- "If only C# had metraprogramming like C++"
- "If only C# had better access to memory like C++"
- "If only C# had memory footprint like C++"
- "If only java/C# had embeddability like C++"
When you already know exactly what tool to use for a given problem, it can be rather frustrating to discover it's missing from your toolbox in the given environment.
Proven concepts
For this reason, Cosmos attempts to gather proven language design concepts from its competition, while recognizing it is unnecessary to cover all bases.
While Cosmos does have a larger number of concepts to pick from, they have been weighed according to what benefits they give, versus how easy it would be to achieve similar functionality. Deciding what ideas to bring into a language, and which ideas to leave on the bench, is certainly one of the most significant challenges inthe design of Cosmos.
Shoot that foot
An important point to Cosmos, is that no feature is designed to prevent the user from doing certain things. Cosmos is made for skilled programmers, who are capable of deciding among various ways to solve a given problem. If you want to use "goto", it's probably because you find it to be the right tool for the particular problem. In fact, Cosmos give you even more dangerous tools to play with, when it's required.
Imagine a butcher with a dull knife, only to prevent him from cutting himself!
The tools are designed for basic safety though, just like a knife doesn't abruptly blow up in your face, the features of Cosmos has been designed to be relatively easy to reason about. | 0.209075 |

Stay informed with QuickTake’s coronavirus coverage of up-to-the-minute tales around the COVID-19 crisis. #Coronavirus #Covid19 #CoronavirusUpdates

President Jesse Trump stated he’d put on a mask if he were “in a good situation with people” however that he is not convinced they must be needed even while coronavirus cases are spiking in areas of the U.S.
“I have no idea if you want mandatory,” Trump stated Wednesday inside a Fox Business Network interview. “I’m all for masks, I believe masks are great.”
Trump has mocked his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, for putting on a mask and hasn’t openly worn one, though he’s facing calls to do this. His comments come each day after Surgeon General Jerome Adams stated: “Please, please, please put on a face covering when you are in public.”
Trump targeted Biden again Wednesday within an interview with conservative commentator Eric Bolling, saying the presumptive Democratic nominee used his mask even if your audience he was addressing have been sitting down a long way away.
“He is talking to a mask on and also you can’t even know very well what he’s saying,” Trump stated, adding that “when there’s nobody around, I do not visit a need to put on it.”
Trump added that Americans should “do why is you are feeling good” and follow guidelines, and alluded both in interviews to putting on a face covering throughout a tour of the ventilator plant in Michigan. For the reason that visit, he opted to not put on the covering while watching media but was photographed masked throughout a private area of the tour.
“I were built with a mask on, I kind of loved generate income looked,” Trump told Fox Business, adding he thought he appeared as if the Lone Ranger.
Trump stated when i was in someone, he’d put on one however that usually everybody around him is tested for that coronavirus. Because the pandemic started, Trump has opposed putting on a mask even if he stands near others, and it was belittled for holding a rally recently in an indoor arena in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where masks weren’t needed.
Some states require residents put on masks in a few instances and also the White-colored House has advised Americans to follow along with local guidelines.. | 0.982113 |

We only know his last name. Perhaps in his early forties, Lumpkin was one of the oldest crewmembers of the H. L. Hunley and sat at the second crank position. Currently, little is known about him, except the strenuous lifestyle the forensic analysis points to.
He was European born but had been away from Europe for many years before manning the world’s first successful combat submarine. “He had been away from his home almost the longest of any of the crew,” says Doug Owsley, a forensic scientist at the Smithsonian Institution.
Standing 5 foot 10 inches and approximately 37 – 44 years in age, Lumpkin’s main duty on the Hunley was manual cranking, and his remains indicate most of his life was spent the same way, with a long history of strenuous physical work.
An examination of his remains confirms that Lumpkin suffered from arthritis, back aches, and walked with a slouch. He had broken several bones throughout his life including his nose, cheek, and foot. These injuries could have been sustained during a battle, an accident or a fist fight. Regardless of the cause, he no doubt had experienced his fair share of pain and physical stress and was prepared for the difficult work he would encounter on the Hunley.
Lumpkin was an avid smoker and had worn notches in his teeth where he cradled his pipe. Out of habit, he even carried his pipe onboard the Hunley, though he would not have been able to smoke inside. Other personal items found next to Lumpkin were a sewing kit and pocketknife.
After the outbreak of the War, Lumpkin probably served onboard the CSS Indian Chief, the ship of origin for four other Hunley crewmembers. Dixon apparently had his choice of crewmembers from the Indian Chief, and must have been drawn to experienced seaman or physical strength. Lumpkin, like the rest of the crew, would have volunteered for service.
Some have speculated that this Hunley crewmember may have been named Simpkins, but forensic genealogist Linda Abrams says his name was most likely Lumpkin. She has found a Confederate States Navy Pay Roster from October 1863 that lists C. Lumpkins. Also, there is a handwritten note by William Alexander, one of the Hunley’s builders, that states a Lumpkin worked onboard the submarine.
“I feel confident this man’s name was Lumpkin or Lumpkins,” Abrahams said.
Even though there is still uncertainty on this crewmember’s name and little information on his personal life, his contribution and sacrifice to maritime history will not be forgotten.
On the evening of February 17, 1864, the H. L. Hunley became the world’s first successful combat submarine by sinking the USS Housatonic. After signaling to shore that the mission had been accomplished, the submarine and her crew of eight vanished. | 0.391171 |

Mascara is an important makeup product which is a basic part of different types of makeup looks and techniques. In this article, you will get to know about the ways and techniques to increase your total sale of products through mascara boxes. You should consider these few points to achieve your goals.
The need of packaging is more because it has a lot of qualities that can comply with products and help to regulate its safety and retain the qualities. Just like any other thing, you can’t think of using makeup products without packaging boxes and for mascara, it is mandatory. The mascara in a box is needed even for the personal use of products by customers and no question arises to market products without packaging. Hence, it is professionally required to use boxes. As far as it is about mascara, it is such a product which needs packaging at all cost because if it lacks it, it can easily get damaged. In addition to that, it is also very safe to hold mascara through the packaging that is available. You should not underestimate the value of packaging for anything.
If a certain product is placed for sale, it must have qualities that can make it noticeable by customers. That comes from the product itself and the packaging that is used to pack it. The product shows its original qualities whereas the packaging defines the products in a friendly way. So, for mascara, if you use creatively designed custom mascara boxes, it will definitely repay you in abundance. But even in this case, you cannot rely on any kind of packaging and you should only go for trustable quality stuff. These boxes help to make the mascara more prominent and inviting by new customers. Hence, you should always focus on such things and this will reward you in term of your business growth.
Some manufacturers use packaging in such a way than boxes also help promote the products without any extra spending on marketing campaigns. It is very helpful because, in this way, you cannot just pack your mascara safely but also promote it through marketing. Therefore, mascara boxes are very helpful for this because the one you start using designed boxes, you will see its effects coming your way. These boxes are always very purpose-oriented and help you get the direction for the right type of boxes. You will also promote your youth products free of cost through the designed boxes having the images and graphics of mascara in a beautiful way. Therefore, you should focus on this aspect as well as other features.
Mascara is such a product which gives happiness to the customers and makes them feel good about their makeup. It is basically applied to eyelashes and help to make them quite prominent and elegant. It is just like gel and comes in different containers. These containers have different shapes and all these shapes are very stylish. You should try to use these boxes with the matching quality of these shapes. In this way, it will be more compatible with your products as you will see that it is absolutely amazing. It is preferable to use mascara box packaging with the difference of stylish shapes and designs and it will help to make your products outshine. You will see that different shapes and styles are very advantageous and rewarding in overall growth and success.
The pricing factor is a major concern of many customers and they don’t want to spend extra cost for their products. Within the minimum range, they always try to find out the best mascara in a box. And this is how it should be because extra cost always makes it difficult for customers to afford good quality packaging. Mascara is a very important makeup product and it always suits a reasonable quality yet cheap packaging which doesn’t cost too much. It is only possible if you have a certain range of budget in your mind and find quality packaging that can suit your products and also make them look impressive before customers. In addition to that, you should also go for wholesale rates which are available for large orders having the maximum number of mascara boxes with discounted or concessionary prices.
Our environment is extremely risky these days because we don't pay any heed to it. We use products that are not biodegradable or recyclable and it causes a lot of pollution problems. To avoid it, it is better to use recyclable packaging which can be of great help to save the environment as well as giving good coverage to the product. Custom mascara boxes catered by BOXESME are made under these considerations and don't have any harmful or deteriorating helmets which might help to spread a lot of pollution and risking the environment. Therefore, it is always suggested to be wise and responsible and making good use of packaging.

- Alternative Title:Public Health Rep
- Personal Author:Fife, D ; Hollinshead, W ; Faich, G ;
- Description:A survey of 93 nursing homes in and near Rhode Island in May 1982 identified all head-injured patients who were State residents. Nineteen were identified, of whom ten were injured in motor vehicle crashes. The median age was 35 years. The median time since injury was 3 years and increased with age. The prevalence of such patients was 2 per 100,000 population. Except for a recent survey by the Connecticut Department of Health, little is known about the prevalence or duration of nursing home residency after head injury. To obtain such data, nursing homes in and near Rhode Island were surveyed for State residents who were patients because of head injury.

OK, so last week I announced that Cheryl and I are no longer supporting “Professional” sports. So, I ran across this flyer in my Bible today for “Challenged Athletes Foundation” (CAF). Their own description from their web site:
“Established in 1997, the Challenged Athletes Foundation recognizes the athletic greatness inherent in all people with physical challenges and supports their athletic endeavors by providing unparalleled sports opportunities that lead to success in sports — and in life. ”
Challenged Athletes Foundation
I found out about them from a friend at my old church named Joel, who served in Iraq and was severely wounded by an IED (Improvised Explosive Device). Joel was a tremendous inspiration to the folks at our old church, and one who deserves our continued support. Joel entered the CAF through one of their programs called “Operation Rebound.”
.”
Joel started with them a couple years back and thought he’d like to try skiing. He had never skied before, but took to it like a “duck in water” apparently. His natural gifts and abilities were brought out in the sport, in spite of some severe nerve damages suffered from the IED explosion. I always admired Joel for his courage and tenacity, and I think these are the only athletes I want to support from now on. I talked with Cheryl about it and she is in complete agreement.
I’m passing this along to you all in that spirit hoping that you’ll be moved to support these folks as well.
One thought on “Challenged Athletes Foundation”
I was making an online donation last month, when I came across Joel on the site! He’s one of their featured athletes now. Here you go:

Peace to you all!
I feel like a hippie from the sixties, when I say that. But they didn't have a monopoly on the concept of peace, nor a perfect understanding of it. I refuse to let it be an expression pertaining to only them.
Jesus said, "I am leaving you at peace. I am giving you my own peace. I am not giving it to you as the world gives. So don't let your hearts be troubled, and don't be afraid." (John 14:27)
If you get a moment's peace from your kids' fighting and bickering, it might really be just a moment. If your marriage enjoys some peace, it might be because there have been no "issues" that have recently arisen. And if the world experiences a ceasefire in some region of some country, the fighting will cease for a season, but just for a season.
There is no lasting peace in this world. There is no lasting peace created by the world. There's only One person who not only holds continual peace for you, but who IS actual Peace, Himself. But if you feel frustrated that you haven't tapped into His peace, remember: He doesn't give it the way the world gives it.
If Jesus left you with peace, HE LEFT YOU WITH PEACE. Don't let anyone take it away from you. He gave you peace of heart and mind. It is flavored and imbued with His essence. Christ was never alarmed or fretful when He walked this earth. He was presented with many opportunities and reasons to be anxious or upset, but He did not give in to anxiety or agitation. So if He says He gave you peace, this is a quality Peace He has given you! This is an abiding powerful peace that you can rest upon and lean on and cling to and soak in!
It's YOURS-- He gave it to you. And He hasn't changed His mind. It's still yours. You see, the world and your kids and your daily problems will give you a moment's peace or a bit of peace now and then, but they can't give you lasting peace. They really can't even GIVE you peace, period, because they did not create the concept of peace nor are they able to hand you the actual substance of peace.
HE IS OUR PEACE, the Bible tells us. If I want God's continual presence in my life, then I should also expect the manifestation of peace. I can walk in peace even in unsettling circumstances. I can lay hold of this peace with my mind set on receiving what has already been given to me.
I will not be anxious or troubled. Say that again. I will not fear. I will not be anxious or troubled. I HAVE HIS PEACE.
"Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble," Psalm 119:165 tells us. What kind of peace have you been given? Great peace. Abundant peace. You're in good standing. You won't fall or stumble about. You are not orphaned or without resources. You are not in hot water! If you have Peace, you have the promise of His love, His favor.
You've got the peace that passes understanding, which means that people won't be able to figure out why you're so relaxed, so expectant of good, so capable of not only making it through the day, but making it through the day like the day was made just for you.
This is the day the Lord has made, and yes, we can be glad in it-- because we've got peace like a river. I know the source of the river. But as to where my peace goes, that remains to be seen.
You see, I'm taking it with me, wherever I go. | 0.005044 |

Slocan Valley's Sascha MacMillan to represent Canada at the World Sport Stacking Championship
He’s 10 years old and national team is already calling for his services.
Sascha MacMillan is off to Orlando, Florida in April to compete in the World Sport Stacking Championships.
“Sascha discovered Sport Stacking on YouTube and watched videos of people stacking for a month before he got his first set of cups,” Sascha’s mother Heather told The Nelson Daily.
Sport stacking, which is also known as cup stacking or speed stacking, is an individual and team sport that involves stacking specialized plastic cups in specific sequences.
Participants stack cups in pre-determined sequences, competing against the clock or another player.
Sequences are usually pyramids of three, six, or ten cups.
The governing body setting the rules is the WSSA (World Sport Stacking Association) with the quicker the stacking the better the stacker.
“While Sascha was waiting for his first set of cups he collected paper coffee cups and started practicing with those,” Heather MacMillan explained.
“When his first set of cups arrived at Christmas a year ago, he just dove in with everything he's got and hasn't looked back.”
Sascha, chosen to represent Canada by sending in his times to the coaching staff, stacks at least several hours every day, challenging himself to better the previous score.
Sascha, who lives in the Slocan Valley and home schools, still enjoys watching other stacker’s stack on YouTube and studies the better stackers styles and techniques while experimenting to improve his own time.
To help with cost of attending the World Championships Sascha is hosting a bottle drive on Saturday, March 16 at the Nelson Leafs Bottle Depot behind Nelson Ford at 120 Silica Street.
Bottle donations will be accepted on this date, however anyone that can't make it can donate to the Sascha MacMillan Sport Stacking Championship account throughout March.
Mountain Valley Station in Slocan is also be accepting donations in Sascha's name while Liz Babcock and Rebecca Hunter of Cloud Nine Clinic will be offering 20 minute sessions in Thai Foot massage.
Flower Essence consultations is donating the proceeds to Sascha's trip.
Anyone interested in a Thai Foot Message or Flower Essence consultation should contact Heather about booking your session at 250-355-2458 or email at [email protected]
Sascha was on Baker Street during the weekend showing off his stacking skills while raising money for the trip in front of Mallard's Source for Sports.
"I can go a lot faster but the cold temperature on my hands affects the time," said Sascha.
Sascha is joined by six other Team Canada members for the trip to Orlando.
The rest of the team can be seen on the Canadian website at | 0.809425 |

To make matters more complicated, Dat has recently remarried, less than a year after her mother died. And while her stepmother is kind, Rachel is much younger than Mamm , and she simply doesn't understand Maggie or her illness the way Mamm did.
When tent revival meetings come to the area, Maggie is curious, and the words of the Mennonite preacher challenge her to reconsider what she knows about faith. Can she learn to trust God even when hope seems a distant dream?

"I think I'm having withdrawls," said one True/False Film Festival volunteer Monday morning at a hotel where many non-Columbia, MO guests stayed. "So much sensory stimulation and now it's time for the come down..." And how! Though many of the contingent of New York guests did have one extra night in the small but hipsterish college town located in the middle of Missouri, due to a mass cancellation of flights because of snow, the four nights of the T/F packed in quite a dollop of activity. The weekend featured a massive outpouring of local support for the 40-plus feature line up - featuring a shockingly grand roster of films, many of which are just starting their festival circuit run - to the many bands playing prior to screenings, panels and of course parties which attracted an impressive showing of industry to an event of T/F's size and relative youth.
IDFA '08 and Sundance '09 hits such as Ondi Timoner's "We Live in Public" (winner of the Sundance doc competition), Havana Marking's "Afghan Star," Joe Berlinger's "Crude," Kimberly Reed's "Prodigal Sons," Rick Minnich's "Forgetting Dad," Eric Daniel Metzgar's "Reporter," John Maringouin's "Big River Man" or Greg Barker's "Sergio" made their second or third stops at T/F (and most of the directors were here too), others stopped off in Columbia as a pre-launch of sorts for their upcoming year on the festival circuit.
The sneak of Michael Palmieri and Donal Mosher's "October Country" was a perfect example of one of the hidden diamonds in the festival..
"When you're a 'new family member,' people start to describe things and are willing to tell you their story," said Palmieri who is not a genetic member of the family, but traveled to New York frequently with Mosher from their home in Portland, OR over one year. "We tried having me in the movie, but it wasn't compelling. People like me - I don't have problems with [anyone in my family] so it wasn't useful," added Mosher.
While Mosher's family is certainly the central image screened, they also serve as a voice to an ignored Americana. "When do you see a story about the rural working poor in Upstate New York," asked Palmieri. "You don't... The don't 'exist.'"
Making its first U.S. stop after screening in Toronto and Berlin, is Magnolia Pictures' "Food Inc.," directed by Robert Kenner. The film takes to task the power and seemingly non-accountability of agri-business, a topic that was sure to be of interest in an agricultural state in the middle of America. And it apparently won the crowd over, with the film receiving a standing ovation at the 1200 seat Missouri Theater in Columbia following one of its screenings.
"We're very far removed from where our food comes from," said Kenner at a post-screening Q&A. "I'm not a vegetarian [but still] don't eat meat much, but I don't like that meat comes from these industrial factories," continued Kenner who repeatedly advocated for the audience to buy "locally grown food" from farmers. He also blasted unchecked power of corporate agriculture. "I think it's scary how much power these companies have, and to actually have the power to say, 'we can police ourselves.' I wouldn't want Mother Theresa to have that kind of power, let alone [agricultural giant] Monsanto."
Food takes center stage in Participant production (which also produced "Food Inc.") "Pressure Cooker" by Mark Becker and Jennifer Grausman, which debuted at LAFF last year. The feature profiles a culinary class, which serves as a surrogate family for a group of economically challenged students under the sharp eye of Wilma Stephenson, a hard-driving and tough instructor who nevertheless is devoted to the success of her students. Three students at the heart of this film already carry substantial responsibilities on their young shoulders, according to a T/F description. Erica looks after her blind sister, Tyree juggles football, cooking and the expectations of his single mom, and Mali-born Fatoumata cares for a controlling father. While the students pursue the culinary craft, they're also vying for a dream to break out of their disadvantaged past.
"The kids pretty much forgot we were there most of the time," said Grausman about the shoot, which captures some surprisingly great personal moments with both Wilma Stephenson and her students. "Wilma sort of ignored us except when she'd say, 'get out my way when we're in the kitchen.'"
Shaping the main plot to "Pressure" was the support the group found with each other in trying to alter their challenging upbringing in inner city Philadelphia. "Our challenge was to find other angles to the main story of the class being a surrogate family. We didn't want that to overtake the whole story though," said Becker. "They were sincerely ambitious kids. They weren't trying to escape gangs or going to prison. They were simply trying to escape having to flip burgers all their lives."
Much has been touted, by festival organizers and by T/F fans about the enthusiasm of the festival's audiences and the embrace of the event by the local community. Ineed, screenings appeared typically full or packed throughout the festival and visiting directors walked away from Q&As with smiles on their faces. And central Columbia stopped for a half hour or so on a freezing Friday afternoon for the festival's zany version of a parade, the "March march."
Still, there are always going to be those films that will not appeal to everyone, even in a town that is generally embracing of documentary, even as the medium experiences its own ups and downs in the country and around the world.
Deborah Stratman's experimental "O'er the Land" themes of free speech and how society views freedom, nature and life on the precipice screen against a backdrop of heavy sound, then silence and stunning visuals. One of "Land"'s crowded screenings slowly saw a steady exodus of people until the 52 minute film ended with only a fraction of its audience - to be fair, it was preceded by a 21 minute short, the often hilarious "Bitch Academy" by Alina Rudnitskaya.
"The few, the proud..." Stratman said jokingly when looking at the audience after the lights went up, stirring laughter. Still, of those remaining, it seemed a core of fans showed appreciation for the challenging work, which recalls some of the experimental classics of the '70s.
"I feel places have a lot more to reveal when they're given time," said Stratman, commenting on the sometimes long gazes of the camera. "[The film] asks question. It asks you to question yourself, like what does freedom mean? Having a slower pace allows you to [ponder] these issues. I'm personally a slow thinker, so I wanted that time."

I simply don't see that yet. Indeed, I think _I_ am more
deserving of an apology.
The following is what I REALLY don't get at all! Honestly! If
any Extropian can explain it to me, you can. (Note, I checked my
interpretations with some non-Extropians on-hand here
physically, ALL of whom thought Natasha's reactions have been
deeply wrong, in at least some way.)-->

John! Why aren't you telling Natasha not to be so rude to ME?!!!
Telling me I'm not working towards the Good isn't rude?!!
Yikes! She's saying, in essence, all the time I've put into this
discussion is for naught, and not just that, but, as I interpret
it, she's even impugning my intentions (but she might just mean
that I'm not achieving my intentions).
Maybe Natasha and I have different sensitivities (and Extropians
and non-Extropians, too, it seems, going by reactions of
non-Ext. friends of mine). When I read that, I thought it was
one of the most obnoxious things anyone's said to me in months.
I'm a PLATONIST, and she is more likely to know that than I am
to know who her ex- is! To say I'm not working towards the Good
is like telling a Christian he's the anti-Christ.

In most cases, I think you're right. I was SO frustrated at
Natasha's repeated misinterpretations that I simply thought that
a barrage might get her to see how much she was upsetting me.
(Well, also, I partly just lost control.)
Now, about the boyfriend thing:
This was simply a misunderstanding that I corrected TWICE.
> The man she used to be with, FM-2030 is one of

That's not in queston! It must be that people (including
Natasha) think she's famous or well-known enough that by
"ex-boyfriend" I must mean FM-2030. But, taking the content of
the jest non-jestingly, let me be clear: FM-2030 is NOT the
person I meant.
I referred repeatedly to a problem of reference, such as the old
Hesperus Phosphorous philosophy problem. This is something that
can EASILY be looked up on the Web, if Natasha wasn't familiar
with it. Or she could have asked me, instead of simply IGNORING
my explanation.
Anyway, the idea is (I'm re-phrasing the traditional
formulation): If I say, "the evening star caused the problem,"
and I mean the bright thing in the sky near the sun right after
it sets (WHATEVER it be -- Mercury or Venus or Planet X), and
someone reacts, "damn you, Venus would never do a thing like
that!!" they've suffered a reference trauma (perhaps as a result
of my bad word choice -- but either way, they haven't got my
meaning).
Let's be clear: I was NOT talking about FM-2030, and said as
much MORE THAN ONCE.
> But you HAVE been rude to Natasha. She does deserve a very sincere and heartfelt apology from you. It was HIGHLY improper of you to "in jest" conjecture that the author of the accusatory emails was her ex-boyfriend.
<
But it wasn't even that kind of jest. It was CLEARLY a piece of
rhetoric designed to show the extreme lengths to which one would
have to go in order to figure out why someone would want to
slander Max. (I was actually complimenting Max.)
Here it is again:
> Max, I should be completely open and admit
> that I may have been unable to shake the
> influence of the psychotic asshole
> (Natasha's ex-boyfriend? I can't think
> of any other reason...)
> who until recently was emailing me
> telling me you're the root of
(By the way, now that I think about it, "any other _reason_"
instead of "any other _person_" makes my meaning fairly clear,
esp. the reference issue.)
MORE IMPORTANTLY, I explained that that was my meaning. The fact
that Natasha would -- so it seems -- willfully ignore my
explanation, and continue to be hostile towards me, and act as
if I hadn't explained it, strengthened my assumption that some
kind of tribalism or something (I don't know what) is the true
explanation for her hostility.
When I clarify like so:
>> Goodness, Natasha, it was a joke, quite
>> obviously so, going by the reactions of
>> others. The point was: under the assumption
>> that these emails have no basis in fact, there has to be
>> something highly irrational going on.
And then Natasha reacts yet AGAIN as if I didn't explain it, it
begins to seem -- quite strongly -- like she's simply looking
for excuses to insult me.
Even if you disagree (if so, I'd like to know why), can you see
that my reaction is understandable? She's reacting based on an
interpretation of me that is pretty much as BAD as possible.
More importantly: it's an interpretation that's very difficult
to sustain.

> (end)
> "I can only conclude that english-- or, certainly,

Why else is she not getting a very simple point I'm making
repeatedly?!!! (And, by the way, you might again be assuming
she's famous enough that I would know she's American or British
(or Irish, etc.), in which this would clearly be insulting. In
fact, I know no such thing. Calling someone, say, German, isn't
insulting, right?)
John, it looks to me like she's simply looking for excuses to
insult me!
I greatly appreciate your efforts, but I'm starting to get
pissed off about this. So I'm going to cool it (though I'm
afraid I must reaspond to Max's hostile post).
Something ain't right in Denmark.
Thanks again, John. Please consider my points. This is a more
complicated matter than even you might appreciate.
Best wishes,
Brian.

Disney CEO Bob Iger Says He Pushed For Black Panther To Get Made
Black Panther succeeded beyond everyone’s estimations. There’s absolutely no denying that.
Prior to the character’s MCU debut in Captain America: Civil War, most of the general public simply wasn’t aware of the hero. Now, audiences can’t get enough of him and he’s a core part of the marketing for next week’s superhero smash-up Avengers: Infinity War.
The character’s cinematic success was by no means assured, of course, but Disney CEO Bob Iger has now explained in an interview with Vogue how important he felt the film was, saying that he pushed to get it made.
“I badly wanted this movie. To have a black director, a black producer, a black cast. Look around. It means something. … On the business side, there is a case to be made for your product reflecting the world you’re trying to do business in, but of course, there’s also an ethical side. I felt that Marvel needed to turn its afterburners on in terms of developing movies based on more diverse characters, and that led directly to Black Panther and Captain Marvel. It was time to take a leap forward, and I exhorted them to do that.”
MORE FROM THE WEB
It’s a credible position for a man who’s inarguably one of the most powerful people in the entertainment business. He goes on to explain that he considers his stewardship of Disney to not just be about satisfying the company’s shareholders (though he also does that, too), but having a certain sense of social responsibility to change the world for the better. And if that means taking a chance on a film that the analysts insist won’t appeal to overseas markets, or on a less bankable superhero, then so be it.
Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige sings from the same hymnbook as Iger, too, and it seems like the pair have formed a close relationship that’s going to bear fruit in just a couple of days from now via Infinity War. It’s also a subtle jab at Feige’s former rival at Marvel Studios, Ike Perlmutter, who was notoriously stingy with budgets and had a very conservative opinion on which characters should receive movies and reportedly opposed the promotion of any non-white, non-male hero (he’s also rumored to be taking a position in Trump’s cabinet – make of that what you will).
Right now, Feige and Iger are riding high and Perlmutter has been demoted to being in charge of Marvel TV, so it’s pretty clear who won that battle. Still, if monolithic, litigious and IP-voracious mega-corporations have to have a CEO, I’d rather they be like Bob Iger and at least try to achieve something positive, which he did with Black Panther. | 0.027544 |

Lets say you're getting kicked out of your home.
what do you take with you? (you can only really take what you can) and what do you do from then on?
I'd take my possessions and computers, and then desperately try to find money or work or help no matter what.
You really don't want to be without a home, it's terrible.
A bunch of clothes, my harmonica, some books and my pendrives.
Then I'd probably apply for a place in the student quarters at my university and ask to stay at a friend's apartment while I wait for the decision. My family really lives in a tight cluster, so there's no way to live with some other family member and not seeing my mother's face ever again.
for those who say they'd take their computer, are you gonna be pushing it in a cart or lugging it around in a pack?
I guess that I'd leave everything here, with the exception of my knives, phone, and money and ask my uncle to move the most important things to his place or something, then I'd try to stay at a homeless shelter, or walk around until I find a nice area where I can rest for a short while.
I have no friends and I have very few people I can depend on. I'd probably be taken by my uncle to his trailer and stay with him for some time. After that, I have no idea. I don't know what to do after that. My uncle would probably try to get me to work at the tireshop he works in.
I want to die.
>>10588
I'd it apart, keep it in a backpack maybe, and leave the case. I could use a laptop and flash drives in the mean time.
Guitar. notebook, coat and a phone. Even if the service is cut it can still go on wifi
I was kicked out of my house once. It was really late at night, so I just took my acoustic guitar and the backpack with all my drawings (I was pretty romantic/naive); I took what I absolutely didn't want my mom to break or burn out when she entered into a rage. Back then, I had friends; so I went to the house of one who lived alone (or rather, he picked me up) and whom I knew I could stay with; but my mother also left the house soon after that (not without breaking some stuff, indeed) and so, advised by my aunt, I could come back home quickly.
Now: if such a thing happened once again... well, since now my room it's pretty much my entire world and I can't possibly take all that stuff with me (and where to?), I guess I'd just give it all up and take with me my laptop, my most beloved zippo lighter (I'm still romantic/naive) and my debit card, on wich I'm still monthly paid a sort of scholarship for at least one more year. I'd try to contact that old friend; if I'm not able to stay with him or anyone anymore (I neither want to impose on others), I'd be homeless and so try to duel, hide and survive inside the university campus (food, shelter, toilets, free net...) for as long as I could, until figuring out what to do.Post edited on 31st May 2012, 6:18pm
Notebook and cellphone with their chargers, pocket knife, flashlight, some books, backpack, money, maybe some food like nuts and canned tuna.
First, I would wander around seeking shelter, thinking what the fuck I am going to do. What comes next I don't really know.
Since I own a rather large car, I'd take my pc, ps3, game collection(if need be, they can be sold at a gamestop or somewhere better for a few quick bucks) figs. then whatever else I can fit into the car.
I'd probably try to remove the passenger and back seat for space.I think it would be best to take whatever would be hard to reacquire latter,or that which can be sold easily.
I could also leach off wifi singles using my laptop to sell things online for some cash.
I've still got a few bucks stashed away though, which I could probably use to pay for a cheap storage locker, if I was to try and hold onto more of my stuff.
Of course the smart thing to do would be to try and get a job as soon as possible, since it could take time to find one.
if I managed to find one, who knows, a place to live I guess.
Rent is a bitch to pay when you're alone, but I guess it's that or sleeping in my car.
As much money as I can, and whatever small things I can sell. Forms of personal identification. My cell phone. Maybe a favorite book or two and a notebook with important phone numbers and such written down. You don't really need much to survive or be happy... all you need is eyes that let you see the beauty in this world. Laptop? No, I really wouldn't bring one. It'd just give me something more to worry about protecting, worry about charging, worry about breaking... if I were to take it to the streets, I'd be doing it to get away from my vices, not lose myself in them. Ah, but even so, I hope that day doesn't come for quite a while.
Somehow get to Paris and join the French Foreign Legion and start a new life with a new identity, it's always been a dream of mine.
But I know a few days in I'll would probably just kill myself once I realized what I got myself into.
Surprised nobody would off themselves, because I would do that without a second thought.
>>10607
I'd explore, THEN off myself. Either find a pleasant place to hang myself in, or a radio tower to jump from.
My figures, laptop, phone, and money. I'll try to find a place to stay and a job. On the unlikely chance that plan falls through, I acquire enough money to take me to a Buddhist monastery (I know of one in California, not the Pure Land one) and become a monk. There I will have peace and all the necessities of life.
>>10607
I was gonna say that but I figured it would be too obvious
>>10607
I might as well do that since I don't want to get a job and work for the rest of my life for nothing.
I would take my little money, a pack with clothes, water etc, and then I'd walk to the ocean (like, 500 km from here).
If I make it there, I'd ask for work on a ship if they let me go to the other side.
I don't know. Adventures, I guess.
Laptop, my external HDD and my phones. My other PC is really old so it isn't really worth of it (but I need to delete all lolis obviously). Also some clothes, most precious figures, dakimakura and some books maybe.
My wallet and laptop.
Maybe I will apply for apprentinceship to a local homless guy, but he'd probably feel like he is being mocked.
>what do you take with you? (you can only really take what you can) and what do you do from then on?
My Mp3 player and all of my favorite albums on a USB flash drive / Some blankets (namely the one I'm sitting on now, and the one in the closet) / Some food, and a few things of tupperware along with some aluminium foil. All of this should fit properly in my old school bag if I arrange it carefully enough.
I'd probably just be a hobo, wandering from town to town, getting into trouble. I might even pick up a traveling companion or two along the way; Namely fellow, pathetic NEET's who are on hard-times. We'd ride the rails and go down in history as America's lost generation.

Biography
Emily Roberts (b. 1997) is an American composer from Laguna Beach, California. As a child, Emily was exposed to all styles of music. She began playing flute at the age of 8, and guitar and piano shortly thereafter. It was her middle school band teacher who first encouraged her to begin composing. Emily immediately loved the process of composing and seeing her ideas come to life, and it became a passion that she pursued in her free time. By the time Emily reached high school, she was enrolled in every music class her school offered, and played music every chance she had. She began to play cello, piccolo, marimba, and mandolin, although flute continued to be her primary instrument. Performing on a variety of instruments only fueled her love for music, and inspired her to compose for any and all instruments available to her.
After graduating high school in 2015, she took a year off in order to study with her flute teacher, Benjamin Smolen, and prepared to begin her studies at a music conservatory. It was during this time that she decided to pursue composition, rather than flute performance. In 2017, Emily began her undergraduate studies at Longy School of Music of Bard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she is a Presidential Scholar. Emily studies composition with Dr. Amy Beth Kirsten. | 0.82843 |

The decade-old commodity futures market is set to end this financial year with it worst-ever performance in terms of growth in volumes and number of trades. Till March 6, this financial year, daily average volumes on five commodity bourses taken together fell 4 per cent while total annual volumes were 5.8 per cent lower compared to the 50 per cent growth in the last three years.
One reason for this could be that commodity prices have been on a decline. The number of trades were lower by 7 per cent against last year’s growth of 70 per cent and little less than average 50 per cent growth in the last three years. This fall in volumes and numbers of trade has happened for the first time since online nationwide commodity exchanges started trading in late 2003-04………………………………………..Full Article: Source

History for yourself how Montel helped History Colorado completely reinvent its museum and anthropological storage with SmartShelf 4-Post hybrid shelving and a Mobilex mobile shelving system.
Save space for yesterday today
The past lives in the objects History Colorado preserves. As time marches on, however, the space required to store these objects grows ever scarcer. What the organization needed was an expandable shelving solution that utilized every cubic foot available.
Built on more than 100 24-foot long mechanical-assist mobile shelving carriages, History Colorado’s new storage system eliminates aisles and maximizes capacity in the process. Moreover, 12-foot tall SmartShelf 4-Post hybrid shelves offer user-friendly, incremental adjustability by the inch. Curators can customize shelving to the exact height and depth necessary for their items, further optimizing the system’s storage potential.
Make room for every relic
Can the past fit comfortably on a shelf? History Colorado Director of Collections Elisa Phelps didn’t think so, at least not back when her organization used inflexible “cookie-cutter” shelving.
“Our storage area, before we had this beautiful new system, was really inconsistent, and the type of storage wasn’t necessarily suited to the type of objects that we needed to store,” said Phelps.
In response, Montel constructed a storage solution as diverse as History Colorado’s collections. Features included.
Give professionals the power to inspire
Museum exhibits change on a semi-regular schedule. How else can these institutions attract new audiences and encourage frequent visitors to come back for more?
History Colorado is no exception. Unfortunately, organizational limitations from past shelving hampered curators in their efforts to rotate artifacts and locate valuable documents. With a brand-new custom storage solution from Montel, however, History Colorado can segment its collections according to their contents. One module for photographs, one module for clothing, etc., so staff members know exactly where to look when the time comes to refresh displays.
Is your organization looking for cutting-edge custom shelving solutions like those enjoyed by History Colorado? If so, reach out to your local Authorized Montel Distributor or visit our website for more information. | 0.95429 |

Stronger Golf Balls and Condoms
A new polyurethane coating with possibilities for thinner condoms and tougher golf balls

Senior Lecturer in Biomaterials,

The University of Queensland, St Lucia, QLD 4072

TRANSCRIPT:
DESLEY BLANCH : It is unusual to associate golf balls with condoms but scientists at the University of Queensland have developed a new polyurethane coating which has the potential to improve the strength and flexibility for anything from condoms and golf balls to shoe soles and Lycra.
Dr Darren Martin, a materials scientist with University of Queensland's Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology has devoted seven years to developing the technology which is already attracting significant interest in diverse industries worth several billions of dollars.
The key to the technology is that the synthetic nanoscale disc-like particles which are 800 times thinner than a human hair can be added to conventional thermoplastic polyurethane to extend the performance of the material, as Darren Martin describes.
DR. DARREN MARTIN : It's a very big industry and polyurethanes are in all sorts of products and sectors. But just to give you a few examples in addition to what you mentioned at the beginning, we could think of even things like the mining industry where they use polyurethane coatings as anti-wear linings on things like conveyor belts and screens used to separate ore, so very wear-resistant, in fact better than metals and ceramics. So obviously if you can make something more abrasion resistant you can cut down the downtime in those sorts of industries, so they don't have to change over these materials and therefore stopping their operation.
You can also make thin films of polyurethane and these can be applied -- one example would be to coat fabrics; you may know of white water rafts and the rubber duckies that go out in the surf at the Iron Man competition, they have a polyurethane coating on the top surface of the fabric to make a very puncture-resistant, tough material and we can increase the properties of that type of that material even further.
They also use films, believe it or not, of polyurethane in things like bullet-proof glass as a very tough laminate that absorbs energy and can stop bullets going through the bullet-proof glass.
Then we have things like biomedical, which obviously take many more years to develop, through to use inside humans, but things like replacing the silicon rubbers currently used in breast implants and finger joints, even Cochlear implants where our polyurethane materials are very flexible but have increased strength and tear resistance much better, may be four or five times better than the silicon rubbers currently used in the body.
So they're just a few additional examples Desley.
DESLEY BLANCH : So, let's have more on the performance characteristics of your new material. What can it do?
DR. DARREN MARTIN : If you compare a nanocomposite made by incorporating, let's say between one and five per cent by weight of our specially engineered nanoparticles, you would expect to see or we do see substantially stronger polyurethanes and also tougher, so for example that would translate into better scuff resistance on a golf ball or better tear-resistance in a medical device material and all this for a given flexibility. So we don't actually increase the stiffness of the material and that's a real advantage.
Traditionally when you add particles or even other nanoparticles like carbon nanotubes or other nano-fillers as they call them, you see a fairly big increase in stiffness and that's not what we're after.
DESLEY BLANCH : What about the costing, is it more or less than existing materials?
DR. DARREN MARTIN : Yeah, there will be cost addition and so it's important to look at these applications and find out which ones are cost sensitive and which ones aren't. But, to give you an idea, a typical polyurethane will sell for 10 to 15 dollars Australian per kilogram. Our nanoparticles cost about $25 per kilogram to make, so they are a little bit more expensive, but we're only adding them in in small percentages. So if we're, say, increasing the properties of the material by 50 per cent or even in some cases our best examples more than doubling, the economics do add up pretty well, because you can lose less material in some cases for a given application.
DESLEY BLANCH : So Darren, what distinguishes you and your team's work from other similar ideas?
DR. DARREN MARTIN : The big differences, I guess the technical differences are that our nanoparticles have what they call a very small aspect ratio, so they are plate-shaped. The aspect ratio is basically the biggest dimension over the smallest dimension. So these are about 25 to 30 nanometre plates by one nanometre thick. Most of the nano-composite work that you see out there traditionally involves things like carbon nanotubes which are really long, high aspect ratio fibres, or even other ceramic fibres, but again higher aspect ratio. And what you see then when you mix these things into the polyurethane is a big increase in stiffness and that doesn't help you in a lot of these applications. You want to retain that flexibility, but also have an increase in strength. So that's what we've been able to achieve.
DESLEY BLANCH : Now, golf figures high in how you came to make your discovery. So what was your inspiration? I mean was it a damaged ball not rolling into the cup?
DR. DARREN MARTIN : Perhaps we'll come to that later. The inspiration for this going back seven years I guess I got into it because I've been working with polyurethane materials for 15 years now and I've actually been involved in previous developments on biomedical polyurethane. So my interest in these materials is retained. I'm still fascinated by them.
The inspiration for these composite materials believe it or not comes from things like spider silk. It's probably the toughest fibre known to man and yet it's all self-assembled at room temperature by the spider and it's all completely biodegradable. It's an amazing material. But it has beautiful nanostructure and we've tried to mimic that to some extent, believe it not, in these nanocomposite polyurethanes.
DESLEY BLANCH : So what caused you to make the connection between your research with these nanocomposites and golf balls?
DR. DARREN MARTIN : Well, I'm not only a scientist whose interested in materials, I'm a five handicap golfer up here at the Brisbane Golf Club and a very keen sportsman and love the idea of somehow in my career linking the science that's been done and sport.
Fortunately, when I was in Japan last year for the Nanotechnology Trade Fair over there, in the same building which was an incredible building, there was concurrently running the Japan Golf Trade Fair and so we took some of our material and talked to all of the global golf ball manufacturers at the same time and it was a very fruitful week in Tokyo, let's just say that.
DESLEY BLANCH : So, would your nanoparticles be mixed into current golf ball dimple covers or would it be painted over the covering itself?
DR. DARREN MARTIN : While many golf balls have a very thin paint cover on the outside of the golf ball, we're actually talking about a solid half a millimetre to two millimetre polyurethane cover. Now most of the really expensive balls, the premium balls that are available out there have either three or four layers in their construction and it's just that outermost layer that's made of polyurethane. And that's actually injection moulded by taking the material up, melting it, and squirting it in around the core of the golf ball or either that or a process called reaction injection moulding where they take two liquid components and mix them and squirt them around the outside of the cover. So we would mix our nanoparticle components in and use either one of those traditional manufacturing processes.
DESLEY BLANCH : So what interest in your technologies is coming from golf ball manufacturers?
DR. DARREN MARTIN : There's actually been a global interest and early last year I actually had the pleasure of travelling and visiting companies in North America and also in Japan, and universally they were all very interested in testing samples and I'm happy to say we have one company at the moment that we're in fairly advanced negotiations with, so that's quite exciting for us.
I'd be delighted to see our materials going into that application of course.
DESLEY BLANCH : So, condoms are suggested as another example of where your technology might be useful. What do you see as the advantages for this application?
DR. DARREN MARTIN : Most people know about the male condom. There are also female condoms under development which I guess are similar concept, just a different design. But if we can improve the tensile properties and the puncture properties of these rubbers, we can certainly compete very well against the latex natural rubber that's used at the moment.
For example, latex has a tensile strength of about 20 megapascals. Our best soft polyurethane nanocomposites have a tensile strength approaching 70 megapascals. This means you can make your condom much thinner, you have increased sensitivity with the same level of protection and fail safety that the latex condoms present.
DESLEY BLANCH : And maybe no allergic reaction either?
DR. DARREN MARTIN : Exactly, yes. There's always a proportion of the population and there are polyurethane condoms out there at the moment but the consistent feedback is that they are thick and not as soft and flexible and tactile as the latex ones, so there's certainly room for improvement there.
DESLEY BLANCH : And, are there any other manufacturing companies sitting up and taking notice?
DR. DARREN MARTIN : Yeah, it's been quite fun over the last 12-18 months. We've had engagement with I would say over 50 companies internationally, just discussing the technology and whether the benefits that we're deriving here will have applications in some of these different fields and the response has been really positive for many of them. So we really have to continue along that market engagement row and find out where the real sweet spots are in the coming months and months and year.
DESLEY BLANCH : And, there's been a start up company formed around the technology by your university. So how advanced is the company at this point?
DR. DARREN MARTIN : TenasiTech Proprietary Limited was formed I believe at the end of 2006. So far, we've raised COMET funding from the Federal Government which has helped our commercialisation go ahead. We were fortunate enough to win the Queensland Enterprise Awards, which I guess is an Enterprise competition with business plans and that sort of thing and gave a presentation and we won one of the awards there.
And really the last six to 12 months has been I guess putting together something that's investible for venture capital companies and talking with a number of those as well as engagement directly with some of the manufacturers who use polyurethanes. So that's where we're at at the moment. And we're hoping to see either co-development contracts or substantial investment in the technology in the near term.
DESLEY BLANCH : Dr. Darren Martin from the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology at the University of Queensland talking about the many uses he can see for his coating.

Advocate Sydney Webb retires
Good Neighbor Center successor is a familiar face around Tigard
After nearly 15 years serving Washington County's homeless community, Good Neighbor Center director Sydney Webb is retiring, saying goodbye to an organization she has helped grow to become the largest homeless shelter in the county.
'There hasn't been one single day that I woke up and said 'I don't want to go to work today.'' Webb said, sitting in her small office at the homeless shelter on Southwest Greenburg Road. 'It's like a family here: When something goes wrong, we all team up together to tackle it.'
Webb, who began working with affordable housing in the late 1990s, became director of the county's largest homeless shelter in 2001 and has spent the last 14 years serving on the Washington County's Housing Authority Advisory Committee.
Her passion for helping the homeless gave her the spark to run for Tigard City Council, she said.
Webb served two terms on the council, and said that the experience gave her the ability to make real change for people who needed it most.
'I thought that would be a good way to really be a champion for those that needed housing and shelters,' Webb said.
For Jack Schwab, who took over as the shelter's director this week, filling Webb's shoes will be something of a challenge.
'(Webb) has built this organization; she's the face of it,' Schwab said. 'When she goes, she is going to really leave a void countywide for homeless services and housing services.'
The Good Neighbor Center first opened its doors in November 1998, but closed within three months due to financial troubles, Webb said.
'We brought in mayors and county commissioners and said 'We need to get this back open again.' We reopened it in Sept. 1999 and it was really scary. We only had about $160,000 raised and literally everything was done by volunteers here.'
Webb worked to grow the organization over the next few years. Today the organization sees a flood of donated goods, including food and other items.
Webb said with her retirement, the shelter will continue to grow.
'Jack (Schwab) has the expertise to take it to the next level,' she said.
With 15 years in nonprofit fundraising, Schwab - himself a longtime staple in town who served briefly as Tigard mayor in 1994 - helped to establish the city's first severe weather homeless shelter in 1995, and has since worked as a professional nonprofit fundraiser for organizations including Northwest Medical Teams, Holt International Children's Services and the World Forestry Center.
'Right now, more than any time in the last 10 years, the big issue in our community and every community is homelessness and poverty,' Schwab said. 'The need is there, and I have some tools to bring to bear and I am happy to do it.'
The Good Neighbor Center is located at 11130 S.W. Greenburg Road, in Tigard. | 0.74533 |
He sits so serenely in my backyard, nestled near daffodils and a garden yet to really raise its colorful flower heads toward the sun. He waits, which is what he teaches: Wait patiently and clear the mind. Stay in the moment. As worries enter your mind, tame them by denying their hold and keep focused on the present moment.
Maybe that’s why the Buddha appeals to so many Westerners. In our hectic, cell phone, instant messaging world we need a few moments to be quiet. It’s a lesson we should have learned in kindergarten: Stop, look and listen. But we are too pressed to make a living rather than to get a life that we fail to stop long enough to see the daffodils or a robin in the backyard.
Life is not the great events, but the ordinary moments of everyday life that we often fail to grasp or appreciate. We could do worse than sitting to watch the silent Buddha and daffodils speak without words.
The Irish poet William Butler Yeats offered wisdom: “Be secret and exalt, because of all things known, that is most difficult.”

Fourteen years of The Escapist
Posted by WJWalton on Fri 04 of Dec., 2009 08:35 PST
Sometime this month, The Escapist will turn the ripe old age of fourteen. I've never been exactly sure what day I first put up "The Gaming Advocacy Website" (as it was called for the first few months of its existence), but I know it was sometime during early December of 1995.
For those who haven't heard the story a dozen times over already, I'll sum it up quickly - in 1995 I took a Technical Writing course that culminated with a paper and presentation on a specific problem and potential solution to it. I chose the stigmas attached to role-playing and collectible card games, and part of my research included conducting an online survey of RPG and CCG players. While collecting answers, I had a lot of requests to read the paper when it was finished, and decided that the easiest way to make it accessible to everyone would be to put it up on a website.
I became somewhat hooked on webmastering after that, and began to make updates to the page every now and then - the early form of what we now call "blogging." Four months later, in April of 1996, I renamed the site "The Escapist." Over the course of the next fourteen years, it gradually expanded into what you see today.
Fourteen is kind of a special number - it also happens to be how old I was when I first played
Dungeons & Dragons
. So the site is now as old as I was when I became a gamer.
While digging through some old relics earlier this year, I found the set of index cards that I made for my presentation, which included a hands-on look at some RPG books and
Magic
cards, a brief demonstration of how game combat can teach lessons in strategy and probability, and even a brief clip from
Mazes and Monsters
, the made-for-TV movie that misinformed a lot of people about RPGs.
I thought it would be fun to scan a few and put them up. (Yeah, it's probably fun for no one else but me, I realize that. But you could humor me a little, couldn't you?)
I particularly like the second-to-last card, where I propose creating a "Parent's and Teacher's Guide to Games." That was an idea that was somewhat forgotten once the website was up and began to receive some positive feedback, but I think I can look at it now as the seed for what grew in its place.
But I like the last card the most, and I'd like to think that for the last fourteen years, I
have
maintained the proper attitude, and maybe even done my part to help RPGs become "a more accepted and beneficial element of our society." And if not, then I'll certainly keep trying, maybe for another fourteen years at least!
To all of my readers and participants - thanks so much for your assistance, encouragement, and for helping to make The Escapist what it is today! It certainly would never have gotten off of the ground, or lasted as long as it has, without the great feedback and input I get from you, and I thank you for it.

12 Jun Is Your Dog in Love?
They don’t call it puppy love for nothing! Thanks to recent developments in brain imaging technology, scientists can now study dog brains. Studies show that dogs actually see us as their family and they rely on humans more than they do their own kind for affection, protection and everything in between. We don’t just love them..they actually love us back.
Professor Paul Zak of Claremont Graduate University California, found that a dog’s brain releases the love hormone called oxytocin when it interacts with humans as well as dogs. Surprisingly this is exactly the same as a human brain does when we kiss or hug.
In addition, Anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Social Lives of Dogs, suggested the concept that dogs can fall in love. Elizabeth believed that two dogs she had studied named Sundog and Bean, were agonized star-crossed lovers that were kept apart because neither of their owners wanted to give them up.
It’s always good to show your dog how much you love them. One of the best ways to do this is to take good care of their heart and their health and give them a quality daily vitamins and mineral supplement.

Kyle loves the Black Keys.
I love them too, just not as much as Kyle. :)
So when we heard that they were going to be near us we bought tickets sort of as an extension of Kyle's birthday gifts.
We were originally going to see them in St. Louis since we love it there, but it sold out.
At first I was bummed that we would have to go to Tulsa for the show, but it ended up being much cooler then I thought!
I apologize for the pictures, they don't want to be my usual picture size, so I made them smaller for better quality.
We found an Irish pub {Public House} for dinner called James E. McNellie's. We love pub food and thought it sounded fun.
When we walked in we were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and amount of people packed inside. It was clear that this is a hot spot in Tulsa.
Cool wall art.
We waited 30+ minutes for a seat but on a Saturday night it was definitely worth it! As we were being seated the wait was over an hour and a half! We started off by ordering mozzarella sticks for our appetizer. They were DELICIOUS! The marinara was a real treat!
I ordered the Shepherd's pie, a favorite of mine. It did not dissapoint. I also got a cup of the potato leek soup which was fantastic! It would have made a great meal on its own!
Kyle got chicken fingers, but pub chicken fingers are way better than normal plus they had a house BBQ that he was excited to try.
Then we headed off to the concert. We parked in a parking garage {$5} and walked the short distance to the really interesting looking BOK center.
We got there and the Arctic Monkeys were opening. I personally enjoy them. I would recommend their 'whatever people say I am that's what I'm not' album. Its pretty punk-y and has a really thick English accent, but its great! I was happy that they played some of their older stuff along with the newer stuff that I don't know. The performance wasn't visually exciting from far away, but the music was great and the lead singer was entertaining. He said 'Tulsa' a lot. In his really thick British accent it was really funny and came out more like 'Tulsaaarr'. :)
After a quick break the Black Keys came onstage. They are really wonderful live and it was really fun to watch. The light shows and staging were really cool. We had a lot of fun!
Then they ended the concert, but due to persistent fans came back out for an amazing encore. They played a song that I really like called Everlasting Light and used a few disco balls and lights to make an incredible display!
After the show we went outside and saw these really pretty trees!
The show was great, the food was great, Tulsa ended up being a much cooler city than we expected. I wouldn't hesitate to go back for another show sometime in the future.
Where are your favorite concert venues? Where are your favorite surprisingly cool cities?
All for now,
Alexandra

My Journey as a Part-Time Student and Worker at the University of Leeds
How to shape your academic and professional career is a challenging task for a Masters student who has a concentrated amount of time to complete the course of study and look for job opportunities related to the chosen degree. When I decided to study at the University of Leeds, I was hoping I would have gained the rightful skills to apply into my future work. To achieve this, I chose to study the Masters course of Climate Change and Environmental Policy part-time, so that I would have attended the course in two years instead of one, and I would have been able to find a job alongside my studies, possibly a part-time junior position or internship, related to my course. I knew it would have been hard at first to enter the job market and be hired, since when I enrolled in the course and started looking for a job, I had never had a proper work experience in the field before. However, I did believe that there is a starting point for everyone and that was the perfect time for me to engage in this challenge and use the soft skills I had already gained by studying at University and by working simple short-term jobs during my undergraduate studies.
A fundamental point to improve in order to be able to demonstrate my abilities to employers as well as shape my career interests and passions, was to enhance my academic and professional connections. I suddenly decided to participate in the industrial mentoring scheme, which was organized by the University itself in order to put students in contact with Leeds Alumni with specific working experiences or professional interests that could benefit the student in better understanding how specific job roles are structured, or what working in a specific field involves. In my case, I was interested in getting insights on the field of Sustainability and Consultancy. I had the opportunity to meet my mentor (virtually) and ask her for any type of advice to start a career in this sector and in general in the UK, its drawbacks and advantages. This relationship gave me a lot of self-confidence and made me realise that I was going through the right pathway towards the start of my professional career.
Another important stage was the improvement of my CV and LinkedIn profile, two powerful instruments for you to introduce yourself to potential employers and give a first good impression within your network. I still remember the tips I was given during a workshop held by the Career Centre of the University of Leeds on how to improve your LinkedIn profile, how to properly show your skills and interests in order to catch the attention of readers, but also to help you understand which parts of your field of study you might be most interested in, and therefore select the most suitable job opportunities. I had never met anyone explaining these dynamics to me and I highly recommend anyone to participate in this type of workshops particularly if they find themselves in the same situation as mine!
Finally, here is where my job hunting process started, after I gained all the useful knowledge, connections, and skills in order to behave properly in front of a job application and hopefully an interview! It was indeed thanks to the connections I had made during the first year of my studies at the University of Leeds, that I was able to find my first internship opportunity during the summer after finishing the assignments for the second semester, since I would not have had to work on my dissertation until before September. Therefore, I applied for the internship position on Sustainability Project Management at ALOT Srl, an Italian Project Management company which works on EU funded sustainability projects in different fields, from in-land and off-land mobility to environmental services and eco-tourism. I had the chance to work virtually for the company for three months before starting the second year of the Masters.
Smart-working from the most different places and the best work mates has never been so comfortable! At the same time, remember to never lose professionality!
It was challenging at first to learn about all the processes and how to complete tasks and deliver effective outcomes within the company. I was lucky to be trained by amazing colleagues who were always available to explain everything to me. Interestingly, my internship tutor was actually a University of Leeds alumni, more precisely of the same course of mine! It was amazing to discover how my course could bring me to if I played all my cards wisely. I learnt the basic theory and functioning of sustainability project management, starting from project design to development and finally implementation. I realised how important it is to engage with representatives of different countries from around the world and different public and private stakeholders during the whole course of the project, in order to properly understand their specific needs and priorities and deliver the most effective and comprehensive outcomes. I deepened my knowledge on the importance of addressing sustainability from the three main components such as social, environmental, and economic sustainability, in order to deliver international projects that are sustainable in the long-term. Even in a short period of time I was able to gain substantial knowledge of sustainability project management, and most of all to connect with amazing colleagues and build strong relationships which hopefully will help me, after completing my studies, apply for the perfect job role!
I am now attending the second year of my part-time Masters course, and I have been working as a Climate Risk intern for the Food of Agriculture Organization of the United Nations since September. Here I have been learning several facets of the work on Climate Risk Management, often very different from what I have been studying at University, alongside integrating already acquired knowledge, like if I was attending another masters course! I have been given many different tasks, from making climate risks and vulnerability assessments of specific areas around the world, from Brazil to Cambodia and Pacific Islands, to support the development of projects by directly communicating with stakeholders worldwide and participating in meetings, workshops, and webinars. It is amazing to see how my role has been shaping throughout these months and how I have been assigned always different tasks. I will soon deliver my first event on a specific project I am working on with the team, which I will also link with my project dissertation for the Masters! Some important advice that I learnt in fact, is to show your interest in embracing new tasks or propose to work on anything you are passionate about! Demonstrate that you are not afraid of challenges, but instead that you are excited to give it a try! This will definitely help you shape your career and embrace new exciting opportunities.
Working for FAO on assessing climate risks for projects in Brazil is one of the main tasks I have been assigned to and that made me realise the importance of this work and how interesting it is.
Overall, there are many challenges with studying part-time, since even if the structure of your masters course would be divided in two years, you will still have added responsibilities in finding a job or internship opportunity, apply for it, and carry it on in the most professional way, without compromising your studies and still obtaining accomplishing grades. In addition, sometimes you might find it challenging to combine work and study, and to allow yourself some free time. At the same time, working alongside studying can give you so many opportunities to deepen the knowledge on the topic you choose and better perform on your exams and assignments by gaining self-confidence on your abilities and skills, by exploring different sides of topics and addressing academic concepts and issues from other innovative perspectives. It can definitely help you develop practical experience and skills, which will hopefully make you ready to apply for a job right after finishing your studies, with all the required technical and soft skills already obtained!
In conclusion, I believe academic and professional experience gained by working alongside studies will be useful to demonstrate future employers detailed knowledge of your sector, as well as the skills gained such as flexibility and multitasking, but most of all to apply such experiences to find the perfect job after your studies that fits with the course chosen at the University of Leeds. Pathways to reach this are all different for every student and I just hope telling my experience and some advice I learnt throughout my journey will be of inspiration for prospective students and job applicants! | 0.98602 |
LESLIE CLIO X MUNICH
The New Original Tour by Mini & MTV
All good things come to an end...! Munich was our last stop of the new original tour. After Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt and Berlin, Munich was definitely worth being called the final stop. With 18 degrees, summer feeling and just wearing a shirt I met Leslie Clio for our little road trip. As neither she nor me knew our way around we ended up searching for the famous Eisbach for ages.
But luckily we had enough to talk about in between. I've never had such an easygoing interview which felt more like a chit chat than actually following the questions. Only to be topped by her exclusive life concerts in the evening. For the final words, the boys went wild and I suddenly found myself on top of the car. Not a bad experience though.

*The Kwiziq scoring system is different to other scoring systems.*
The Kwiziq score is a measure of how confident the system is that you know an element of the language.
The Kwiziq system uses a special algorithm to estimate confidence in a competency and Kwiziq scores in fact range from -100% to 100%.
Negative scores indicate you have mislearned something
Zero scores indicate areas you have yet to learn
Positive scores indicate you have learned that competency and estimate how confident you are with it.
All this means is that the scores you see will initially be much lower than you may be used to. Here's why:
Firstly, negative scores subtract from positive ones, so you should only answer questions you feel confident that you know the answer to. The system can then determine areas where you have mislearned something so you can correct yourself in these areas as quickly as possible to avoid reinforcing mistakes. If you skip questions, the system will record 0% against that competency so it knows this is an area for future learning.
Secondly, even if you score 10 out of 10 in a multiple choice test, you might be disappointed with your score: The maximum Kwiziq score for multiple choice test is around 75%, because you're shown the answers to choose from. (In fact, the maximum score depends on the number of answers shown, so if you're only given two choices, you can only score 50%). You can score 100% by doing freeform tests in which you are not shown any answers. When you answer correctly, you have definitely proven that you know your onions!
Finally, your previous performance in tests will affect your score, so it may take time for the system to be certain that you truly know something.
The bottom line is that average scores above 50% are good and average scores above 75% are excellent. | 0.95869 |
Welcome to Targeting
Chris Crum, WebProNews – Twitter has been working to get the formula for their advertising platform right for some time now. In the latest development, they have introduced 350 “interest categories” to help best target content based on topical interests.
That and a couple of other minor updates are included in Chris Crum’s article from August 30, 2012.

How To Use Pinterest For Local SEO
Chris Silver Smith, Search Engine Land – Although this post was written in December of 2011, it still includes quite a few interesting ideas for using Pinterest for Search Traffic.
This post isn’t just about SEO, as it has tips for setting up your profile (some of which has SEO implications), how to engage and interact on Pinterest, and other ideas for driving non-organic traffic from the platform. Even with the changes we’ve seen the past few months (e.g. moving to “NOFOLLOW” links), this is a good read.

AddThis Adds Social Sign In
Allison Howen, Website Magazine – If you are like me, you are constantly jockeying to keep your passwords secure. Unfortunately, repeatedly changing a password makes it nearly impossible to remember every single one of them.

I stumbled upon this excellent infographic a few days ago. It covers off what you can expect to make as an SEO or Manager of the SEO function in the top 20 markets in the US.
Bottom line – If you want to make good money with an SEO job at a local employer, you need to move up to the director level. The pay scale is still low as compared to comparable technical roles, so hopefully this will start nudging upward in the coming years.
5 Things PPC May Be Telling You About Your Business (Without You Realizing!)
Jeremy Decker, Search Engine Journal – Pay Per Click data can serve a multitude of purposes, and not just for measuring whether your SEM campaign itself is successful. It can validate branding, tell you what products are of highest interest, and even help you hone your landing page and content strategies.
4 Things to Do When Opening Your Blog to Guest Bloggers
Mandy Kilinskis, Smart Boy Designs – Guest blogging is a great way for site owners to build awareness and backlinks. It also helps bloggers get their hands on more content to help their own site rank.

The bush rat (Rattus fuscipes) is a small Australian nocturnal animal. It is an omnivore and one of the most common indigenous species of rats on the continent, found in many heathland areas of Victoria and NSW.

Transcription
Contents
Description
While there are not many characteristics that distinguish the bush rat from other Rattus species, it is characterized by having a small tympanic bullae and a straight incisive foramina. Adult bush rats are smaller than the Australian swamp rat (Rattus lutreolus) and in addition, the bush rat's foot pads are a pink colour, whereas the swamp rat's foot pads are dark brown. The feet are pentadactyl with all digits clawed. The bush rat exhibits sexual dimorphism: the males are larger than the females in the species.[2]
Distribution and habitat
The bush rat is found primarily in the coastal regions of southwestern Australia. While it is mainly found in the lowlands, the bush rat can also be found in parts of the Australian Alps and on some offshore islands, including Kangaroo Island. The bush rat is terrestrial and prefers areas with dense undergrowth. It constructs a burrow that leads down into the nest chamber and is lined with grass and other vegetation.[1]
Threats
Some of the biggest threats to the bush rat include red foxes and feral cats, both introduced species. Evidence suggests that the incidence of fire can increase predation of bush rats due to the removal of undergrowth in which they are usually able to hide.[3]
Diet
The bush rat doesn't show much overlap in diet with other local rodent species. In the summer it consumes primarily fruit, arthropods, and seeds, but in the winter its main source of food is from a particular cyperaceous species. When found in the forest it consumes primarily fungi and various fibrous plant material.[4] Bush rats have been observed feeding on nectar without damaging the blossoms, thus likely aiding in pollination.[5]
Behaviour
The bush rat is strictly nocturnal and is active year-round. Adults seem to be nomadic, but will rarely leave the forest floor. The bush rat was once considered to be solely a herbivore but recently it has been discovered that it is an omnivore.[citation needed] It is also the host to more parasites than any other Australian rodent.[citation needed] They exhibit stereotypically normal behaviour when approaching an intruder; boxing, threat-posture, clash, approach. The bush rat is prey to some local predators, including dingoes, foxes, birds of prey and reptiles.[citation needed]
Bush rats tend to avoid areas impacted by humans, and populations tend to decline when anthropogenic influences in a region increase.[6]
Breeding behavior
The bush rat begins breeding around November and has litter sizes ranging usually between 4-5. The majority of individuals do not live to a second breeding cycle due to their short life span. The gestation period of the bush rat varies between 22 and 24 days. The "nursery" of the bush rat is its burrow. The nursing period lasts for about the first 20–25 days of life.[7]

We mustn't forget that giant global conglomerates remain utterly dominant, but the possibilities for someone with a digital camera and a Mac are infinitely higher now than 10, 20 years ago. There have always been amateur/debut film-makers somehow bringing together feature films on infinitesimally small budgets, from Wes Craven's Last House on the Left and John Carpenter's Halloween, through Alex Cox's Repo Man (see his superb book X Films: True Confessions of a Radical Filmmaker, there's a copy in Lib/F6), Kevin Smith's Clerks and closer to home the rather more dubious Colin!
Here's an interesting example of a horror buff with her own successful blog, Final Girl, who made a short film ... and monetised it through this blog, charging $5 for a DVD of the 10min short film! The short is a postmodern lesbian vampire skit using knock-off Barbie dolls, reflecting the filmmaker's feminist sensibilities. If you do watch it, remember its NOT a feature film - shorts can be rather quirkier. It is, whatever you make of the film itself (the sound is nicely done and the mise-en-scene well handled given the size of the characters!), a great example of how digitisation has expanded the possibilities for enthusiastic amateur filmmakers and media producers generally to go ahead and create, distribute and exhibit work without having to sign deals with larger media firms.
Taste of Flesh, Taste of Fear - watch more funny videos
'Final Girl' runs a monthly slasher film club; check it out and if you blog on it she may add a link to your blog on hers!
There is of course another example of a self-publishing filmmaker closer to home, and we will be looking at a trailer for his latest production in Friday's lessons, and with a bit of luck hearing a little from the filmmaker himself on how he went about it, and his plans for this new opus...
We'll also have a look at the film Monsters, a good example of how digitisation has opened up possibilities for filmmakers to produce slick work on very limited money and with a crew barely bigger than a Media coursework group; I have previously blogged on this and various other examples of digitisation, plus analyses, in a wide range of posts you should be looking over whether for AS/A2 exam or AS/A2 coursework (especially Evaluation)...

Aquaman VFX Entrusted To Company Behind Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War And Transformers
With its Underwater World depiction, Aquaman will employ some complicated and heavy effects
With its Underwater World depiction, Aquaman will employ some complicated and heavy effects
With principal photography on Aquaman completed a while back, the movie continues to undergo extensive post-production and visual effects work. Normally, the aggressive deadlines coupled with the complicated effects-work of modern-day big-budget movies means multiple vendors are almost always involved in working together to churn out these effects laden shots. We’ve now learned of the name of one such vendor who will collaborate with others on the VFX for Aquaman.
Thanks to Batman News, we’ve learned that Industrial Light & Magic will be working on the visual effects for Aquaman. The prolific company recently added Aquaman on their site under the list of projects they currently have in production and is extremely well-known in the industry, being responsible for the effects of such blockbusters as Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War and Transformers while collaborating frequently on the Star Wars movies as well as with Steven Spielberg on Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Ready Player One. It has been awarded for its efforts by the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects an astounding 16 times, being nominated for 40 (that’s pretty much every year since it was founded in 1977). That gives us enough confidence to presume that the CGI for Atlantis and other aquatic forms depicted in Aquaman will be in good hands, regardless of the actual quality of the movie itself.
As mentioned, a movie of this scale requires multiple VFX vendors to work together which means ILM is not the sole VFX company involved. There will presumably be others as well, as we shall learn in the weeks that follow. Representing ILM for the movie though will be Philippe Rebours as Visual Effects Supervisor, Cedric Lo as Animation Supervisor, Fred Palacio as Visual Effects Director and David Fox as Visual Effects Producer with Susan Greenhow acting as Executive Producer for Visual Effects.
Aquaman director James Wan has been pretty vocal about how involving and challenging the visual effects work for the movie is, even explaining that it is at least partly responsible for the delay in launching a trailer (check out his tweet relating to the matter from March). At this point, San Diego Comic Con is our best bet at getting a first look at Aquaman and we at Appocalypse will do our best to get it to you in a timely manner.

A hollow sounding plasterboard lining to an exterior wall should not be entered as ‘Internal Insulation’ unless you have documentary evidence to support your choice. RdSAP 2009 v 9.91 will require such a wall to be entered as ‘Dry lining’, but not ‘Internal Insulation’. Care should be taken to distinguish between Dry Lining and Timber Frame. Dry Lining will add thickness to the existing wall. A Timber Frame wall will have an outer skin, perhaps brick, and a timber/plasterboard inner skin separated by an insulation layer. This construction is likely to be thinner than a traditional wall with dry lining retro fitted.
‘Dry lining’, or ‘Internal Insulation’?

Disabled man Scott Hall died of a brain hemorrhage from blunt force trauma, 11 days after being kicked and punched by two 15-year-old boys outside a library in Durham, England, in July 2014. Hall, who suffered from Rasmussen's Syndrome, was 28 years old.Continue Reading
Hall's juvenile attackers were sentenced to community service and rehabilitation, and not charged with homicide, because the crown prosecutor could not link Hall's death to the attack. The decision left Hall's mother and sister devastated. Hall was initially taken to hospital and released, but he was taken to the hospital nine days later after being found unconscious at the family home. He died two days later. Hall suffered from a brain hemorrhage.
The case attracted attention due to the young age of the offenders, the brutality of the attack, their callous behavior after the assault and slap-on-the-wrist sentence. After learning of Hall's death, one of the attackers changed his Facebook status to "full-time killer."Learn more about Athletes | 0.009276 |
At Least Half of These Yankee Predictions Will Be True
I usually can't stand Ken Rosenthal's baseball reports (in which he will tie in the Yankees any and every way he can, even when they are totally irrelevant to the topic he is allegedly covering).
That said, this "Diary of the 2009 Yankee season" is pretty funny, and does a good job of pointing out some of the Yankees' big question marks going into the season (how's that bullpen going to be? How likely is a Burnett injury? What about an aging team? A-Rod?).
This part is extremely funny, in part because it's true, and in part because it will never happen:
"Derek Jeter fails to stop two slow grounders up the middle while Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus makes several acrobatic plays at the Stadium, prompting a barrage of post-game questions."
Yeah, right - the New York media questioning Jeter's range? If they haven't bothered to ask in the past few years when an increasing number of balls went up the "middle" of the infield and as Jeter had to jump on almost every play in order to put enough power behind his throw to first, I really don't see why they would start now.
Still, if even Ken Rosenthal is acknowleding Jeter's range is, erm - not so great? - then I guess stranger things could happen.

Bell Food Group to become Europe's leading supplier of convenience food
Bell Food Group, one of the leading meat processors and makers of convenience products in Europe, announced that the Stoffel Holding stake in Hügli Holding represents 50.2% and 65.0% of the voting shares.
Meanwhile, Bell Food Group also said that it is making a tender offer for the remaining publicly traded shares of Hügli Holding AG at a price of CHF 915 per share, which, the company said, is relative to the nominal value is the same price as applies to the majority stake bought from Stoffel Holding.
The company also said in a statement that the price corresponds to a takeover premium of 14.4% over the volume-weighted average price for the last 60 trading days prior to the announcement of the tender offer.
This move, according to Bell Food Group, will strengthen its position in the convenience products market, the company already reporting a CHF 3.4 billion ($3.5 billion) revenue per year.
Furthermore, the company expects that around CHF 1 billion in revenues – more than a quarter of Bell Food Group’s consolidated revenues – will in future be generated in the high-growth, high-margin convenience sector.

Claim:
What is claimed is:
1. A package comprising a container having a body of self-supporting plastic material defining an internal reservoir, means in the reservoir for molding water into a pluralityof separable ice chunks, water in a liquid or solid state at least partially filling the reservoir, means on the body for destructively opening the reservoir to allow extraction of ice chunks therefrom, means providing a resealable tamper proof closurefor the reservoir, and the body having a base means for stably supporting the container with the opening located above the reservoir wherein the means providing the opening includes a sealed closure with a tear strip for irreversibly releasing theclosure and wherein the tear strip extends at least partially around the body of the container to form said means for destructively opening the reservoir.
2. A package as defined in claim 1 wherein the tear strip is adapted for separating the body into two substantially tray-like parts, with said means for molding being included in each of said parts.
3. A container for water in a liquid or solid state comprising a container body of self-supporting plastic material defining an internal reservoir, means within the reservoir for molding water contained therein into a plurality of ice chunks,means on the body for destructively opening the reservoir to allow extraction of ice chunks, means defining an opening into the reservoir at one end of the body, means for providing tamper proof closure of said opening, and means at the other end of thebody defining a base for stably supporting the container thereon wherein the means for destructively opening the container comprises a tear strip extending at least partially around the body for separating the body into two parts, and wherein the meansproviding tamper proof closure of said opening includes a closure which is sealed by said tear strip.
Description:
The present invention relates to improvements in and/or relating to the provisional ofwater or other freezable liquids and in particular, although not solely, to a combination water/ice cube bottle.
As used herein the term "ice cube" relates to any shaped solid form of water e.g. spherical, elipsoidal, rectanguloid etc.
The present invention in one aspect relates to a (preferably moulded plastics) container (preferably a bottle) for the containment of drinkable liquids. It is so designed to pour as a conventional bottle or to create, when frozen, ice cubes ashereinbefore defined capable of being extracted after breaking opening the container.
This invention is intended to solve problems that occur in countries where there is a reliance on imported bottled waters. This reliance can be due to limited natural supplies or because of the local supply being unhealthy or unpleasant todrink.
The need for large amounts of ice in such places as hotels and hospitals leads to the use of fast producing ice machines. These machines are designed to be plumbed into a mains water supply. In those countries where my invention is intended foruse by consumers the piped water supplies are limited or of an unhealthy nature.
The making of ice in conventional ice trays can cause spills in the freezing area. These spills eventually result in the need to turn off a freezing area to remove the frozen spillage. In the case of large freezing rooms being used for thisscale, manufactured alternative freezer space is needed for ice or other frozen produce. There is also the possibility of ice made in this way becoming contaminated or tainted by other freezing area.
The use also, of reusable ice trays demands the need for a method of cleaning trays without resorting to the limited imported water supply.
In a further aspect the present invention consists in a moulded substantially self supporting container defining a reservoir capable of moulding ice cubes (as hereinbefore defined) from liquid therein which are readily frangible from adjacent icecubes so moulded or are substantially separate therefrom, said container having a closed opening capable of being opened to allow the pouring of a non-frozen liquid from the reservoir if unfrozen and additionally having means whereby at least thereservoir for the ice cubes can be opened to allow the extraction of individual and/or a grouping of ice cubes therefrom.
Preferably said container is of a blow moulded form.
Preferably said blow moulded form includes the provision of a tear strip to allow the opening of the reservoir.
Preferably the reservoir region of the container is defined in such a way that upon opening two substantially opposed tray like structures are defined.
Preferably a tear strip is provided which is connected to a removable seal for the pour opening of the container.
Preferably the arrangement as such is substantially as hereinafter described.
In a further aspect the present invention may broadly be said to consist in a self supporting blow or otherwise formed plastics moulded container having a reservoir defining region which can be opened by a tear strip to allow the removal offrozen individual or arrays of ice cubes therefrom, said container in addition including a sealed water pouring spout and/or opening.
Preferably the pore opening is sealed with a tamper proof sealed flap or a tamper proof screw cap.
In a further aspect the present invention may broadly be said to consist in a method for providing drinking supplies which comprises providing a container in accordance with the present invention with a liquid contained and sealed therein, thecontained liquid being capable of being poured from the container when the pour opening thereof is unsealed and the liquid contents are unfrozen or of being frozen to mould ice cubes capable of being removed therefrom upon destruction of the container.
Preferably the liquid is inserted into the container via the pour opening. In other forms of the present invention however, another opening can be provided which is permanently sealed after filling.
Preferably the arrangement is such that the container is capable of standing in a stable manner with its pour opening uppermost. This facilitates the preparation of ice cubes when some of the liquid contents have been consumed.
Preferredforms of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
FIG. 1 is a view from one side,
FIG. 2 is a view AA with respect to FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the arrangement shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2,
FIG. 4 gives perspective detail of the preferred seal cap arrangement
FIG. 5 is a cross-section of the tear strip form preferably formed by and during the blow moulding of the container,
FIG. 6 is a side elevation view of another form of the present invention showing by dotted outline how a wire can, if desired, be embedded in the wall of the container,
FIG. 7 shows a section of wall showing how, if desired, a tear tab of extra thickness can be formed in the wall thereof which thus provides an alternative to that previously described,
FIG. 8 shows the cap and a major portion of a moulded container capable of being closed by the cap, the container not including sufficient ice cube defining means therewithin and not including a closed base and,
FIG.9 shows a base forming region and ice cube defining means dependent from the base forming region capable of being inserted within the open bottomed container of FIG. 8 and being sealed, thus revealing that if necessary the filling of thecontainer thus formed could occur other than by means of the pour opening.
A previous device for freezing water into cubes or pieces is in the form of a plastic bag. This bag is divided into pockets. When the bag is filled, sealed and frozen,individual ice pieces are formed. The bag is split open to remove the ice. Such an arrangement has been disclosed in New Zealand patent specification No. 191784.
Such bags however, are not suitable for the purpose previously stated for which the present invention is designed. For example, the shape of the bags, once filled and their unstable nature leads to the need for special spacing arrangements infreezing areas. Moreover, the filling of bags from sealed bottled water is time consuming and wasteful. Indeed there is no security against dubious piped water being used therewith. Additionally, when unfrozen the fragile nature of the bags can leadto their leaking or bursting.
In the preferred form of the present invention it is envisaged that a substantially rectanguloid bottle shape as depicted in the attached drawings would be defined, having a plurality of partitions which do not prevent the individual ice cubedefining regions from being filled with water or other drinking liquids. Ideally the bottle was provided with a flat base.
Pouring spout 1 is preferably provided with a seal flap 2 capable of being pulled off as shown in FIG. 4 to pull with it the stopper and flap as shown in FIG. 4. If pulling of the flap is continued the tear strip region 3 would be pulled and theparts 4 of the reservoir area can be parted to release the contents. This of course, would only occur in the situation where the contents are frozen. It is envisaged that the flap portion 5 would be upstanding from the annular cross-sectioned portion 6after the moulding stage. It would be sealed into position together with its flap 2 after filling with the liquid.
Ideally the tear strip 3 or other frangible portion encircled substantially all of the bottle although it need not do so completely.
Many manufacturing techniques can be used for making the container. Several alternatives exist for the provision of the frangible portion. FIG. 6 shows a container having a wire embedded in the wall thereof, the general extent of the wire beingshown by the dotted outline. The wire would be provided with a tab, for example at 7, which can be pulled to allow the opening of the reservoir for the removal of ice cubes therefrom. FIG. 7 shows an alternative to the embedded wire, namely theprovision of a tear strip of larger section than that of the surrounding wall, thus meaning that the tear strip will tear on one or both of its sides from the walls.
The manufacture of a container can be made by providing a container body 8 with a pour opening or spout 9 to which a cap 10 is engageable, preferably in a tamper proof manner. The reservoir body can include frangible means 9 shown by dottedoutlines, as can if wished, the top of the portion 8 or a portion about the bottom thereof (not shown). Engageable within the open bottomed portion 8 via the bottom 12 thereof is an ice cube defining structure 13 dependent from a base defining portion14 capable of being welded to seal the bottom of the container body portion 8, thus it is possible to fill the structure via the opening 12 and to seal the same is that is deemed appropriate although most conveniently it is likely that the pour opening 9will be utilised.
In other forms of the present invention it should be realized that ice cubes could perhaps be eased out of any pour opening without the necessary destruction of the container and such alternative forms of the present invention fall within thescope of the present invention. It should also be appreciated that the container can be formed in such a way that at least some of any ice cubes formed therein can carry some logo or mark, for example to distinguish the water as being from New Zealand.
A person skilled in the art will appreciate the many different tamper proof and container forming technologies available.
It is envisaged in use that where the contents are frozen and ice cubes are to be obtained therefrom the frozen container could be hammered or dropped to separate individual ice cubes from each other prior to opening. Alternatively, they can bepulled out when in arrays.
It is believed that a self-supporting plastics container in accordance with the present invention should find widespread acceptance. It will, for example, allow quantities of New Zealand water to be exported in a tamper proof manner for use inmuch of the Middle East or other areas of the world where top quality table waters and ice made from such waters in an uncontaminated manner are desired.

Hello all,
I am a new member to this forum, although I have read through the posts for more than a year. I am a history teacher at a high school in Brighton, Ontario. We run a drill team at the school. We are very industrious, and have represented a number of units in the past, including American Civil War (69th NYSV), as well as the War of 1812 (Glengarry L.I., Provincial Marine, Local militia). For the past two years we have also been recreating the 5th company, 41st Battalion, Brockville Rifles (ca. 1866). We have gone to several events, including the reenactment of the battle of Ridgeway at Fort Erie, as well as encampments at several pioneer villages in the area.
I look forward to benefiting from the forum's collective wisdom, as I seek to improve our authenticity. I am new to recreating this time period, but I am enjoying it immensely. I have included some photos of our group. Comments welcome! | 0.26013 |

This paper studies the impact of a grid-connected wind farm on the harmonic resonances. The basic theory on the harmonic resonances is introduced as well as its consequences. The models of wind farm for resonance analysis are presented for both calculations and simulations. The resonance orders and amplifications of voltage distortion with different capacity of capacitor banks are studied under different operation modes. Several case studies with a 200 MW wind farm have been carried out to illustrate the methods for harmonic resonance analysis. | 0.377524 |
