Right Here, Right Now
Want a glimpse of Tulane from where you’re sitting? Head to our social media hub, TruTU, to see videos, catch up on our feeds (All the usual suspects: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and a bunch of others), and read some blog posts. You can tune in for a virtual tour, too. It’s Tulane in a nutshell: Real. Live. And it probably includes something about food, because this is New Orleans and you know it’s good to live here.
Last year, Tulane students received $118 million in grants and scholarships. That includes both merit aid, which you earn based on your academic performance, and need-based aid, which you get by demonstrating financial need.
Almost every single student with a demonstrated financial need—99.3 percent—received need-based aid. On average, students with demonstrated need received more than $40,000 each. In all, 79 percent of our first-year students were offered aid.
Want merit aid? You don’t have to do anything—all applicants are considered. If you’d like to be considered for need-based aid, though, you must fill out a FAFSA form.
Undergraduate and Graduate Admission
Nearly half of our students are undergraduates. They’re here for the programs (we offer 70 majors and minors), they’re here for the city (The Princeton Review says we’re the #2 College City, woohoo! We think they’re only off by one.), they’re here because they’ve heard it’s great when a professor actually knows you by name (average class size: 21), they’re here because it’s easy to get away (a third of our students study abroad). Whatever their reason, we’ll help you find yours.
Our admission office works directly with undergrads. Every school at Tulane, though, sets its own graduate admission policies. If you’re coming for graduate work, reach out to those schools directly.

Czech Casting Marsella 7705 HD
Characteristics: Russian hottie
Marsella may be studying philosophy, but she was born to shoot porn. Just look at her body, curvy and inviting with perky boobs ready to pop out of her shirt; look at her face with seductive smile and you won’t be able to resist. Another promising fact: Marsella likes girls as much as she likes boys. She said she didn’t seem a difference in having sex with a girl and with a boy. Just imagine having her at home… You will like this one, I promise.

For the most part, the #24 Louisville Cardinals (29-14, 10-11) took advantage of a week in which they took a break from their difficult ACC schedule. They opened up the week by completing the two game season sweep against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (20-23), then followed that act up with a series win over Indiana State (21-19), and were just 1 inning away from a sweep of the Sycamores.
At this point in the season, there is one certain thing you will get out of the Louisville Cardinals and that is consistent starting pitching. It has been a month since Coach Mac permanently set his starting rotation, and ever since they have failed to disappoint. Adam Wolf is still as strong as ever, Nick Bennett has returned to his All-American form, and Bobby Miller tossed another 8 inning gem.
Other aspects of the Cardinal Nine are still up in the air. As of late, they have found themselves in a bit of an offensive lull, scoring 3 or less runs in 3 of their last 5 games. Outside of offensive consistency from Danny Oriente, Logan Wyatt and Josh Stowers as of late, you’re not sure what you’re gonna get from the rest of the lineup. In the ISU series, the bullpen also found themselves blowing two leads with one resulting in a loss, yet closing the door on another. Defensively, they played clean baseball with no errors in the first two games of the series and only 1 against WKU, yet 3 in the ISU series finale. Essentially, outside of the starting pitching, you kind of have to roll the dice to figure out what you’re gonna get out of this team. If they want to make any sort of deep postseason run, they’re going to need some all around consistency.
Coming up this week, Louisville gets back to the grind and faces yet another marquee opponent and more ACC competition. They’ll travel down to Nashville for the midweek game to take on the #17 Vanderbilt Commodores (25-18) in their Battle for the Barrel rivalry, then head up to Boston for the weekend to take on the Boston College Eagles (15-28, 6-18).
All Louisville Baseball games are ticketed entry this season for the very first time, and can be purchased through Ticketmaster here. Berm seating is $5 with reserved chair back seating costing $10. The midweek game will be featured on SEC Network+, and all the weekend games will be featured on ACC Network Extra.
News & Notes
- The walk-off win in game 1 was Louisville’s first walk-off since March 4th against Western Carolina.
- Sophomore first baseman Logan Wyatt’s 5 RBIs in game 2 matched a career high.
- Sophomores Tyler Fitzgerald and Danny Oriente both had career long hitting streaks snapped at 14 games. Fitzgerald’s in game 1 and Oriente’s in game 2 of the Indiana State series.
- All three games of the ISU series featured a starting Cardinal pitcher going at least 6.0 innings.
- As of the ISU series, junior outfielder Josh Stowers extended his on-base streak to 26 games.
- Louisville ranks #7 in stolen bases with 89.
- Devin Mann & Logan Wyatt rank 4th and 8th in the nation and 1st and 2nd in the ACC respectively in walks.
- Logan Wyatt ranks #1 in the ACC in doubles and on base percentage.
- Josh Stowers ranks #9 in the nation and #2 in the ACC in stolen bases with 25.
- According to NCAA metrics, Danny Oriente is the 6th toughest to strikeout in the ACC.

Traditional baseball powerhouse Vanderbilt has found themselves in a bit of a similar situation as Louisville. They are experiencing a bit of a down year with only two starting position players batting over .300 and a large collection of starting and relief pitchers with ERAs in the 3-4 range. While it is unknown at this point who will be starting in the midweek game against the Commodores, Louisville will still have to keep tabs on Pat DeMarco. The freshman outfielder leads Vanderbilt in home runs (6), RBIs (28), total bases (81) and slugging percentage (.485). If Louisville can make sure there are no runners on base when DeMarco will inevitably get his, they will be in great shape to win the game.
The ACC this season is full of CWS contenders like NC State, Clemson, Florida State and UNC. And then there’s Boston College. Quite simply, in terms of the rest of the ACC, this is not a good baseball team. They hold the worst overall and conference record in all of the league, and have anemic offensive numbers. Their saving grace is their ability to strike batters at a high rate, but that’s it. If Louisville can go on the road and sweep Virginia Tech, then I see no reason why Louisville can’t do the same against Boston College.
For the upcoming week, I predict that the Cardinal Nine will get their 5th straight win in Nashville, then head up to Boston and sweep the Eagles.

| In 2008 hurricane Ike passed well to the east of Port Aransas causing massive destruction to the northern shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico.
The storm surge being pushed into the northwest gulf flowed back down the Texas coast causing 7 foot tides in the Port Aransas area (our home). The large waves and high water caused extensive erosion to the dunes along the coast. When this massive amount of water finally flowed back out of Corpus Christi Bay it caused a large amount of erosion to the backside of the island and all the channels leading back to the Gulf.
The good side to all this erosion was for beach combers. We started finding fossils all along the beach and channels. After much searching we found a few small locations where huge deposits of fossilized sand dollars had been washed out. Knowing it would not be long till they were recovered by the wind and water, Susan and i madly collected them. We still occasionally find some fossils, but not until another great tide washes through will we be able to find them again in such numbers. Currently most finds are underwater. Everything you see here (and at Sandfest) was found within 5 miles of downtown Port Aransas.
"Fred's Fossils" is closing out all product since my usual business of marketing with sand sculpture and computer education classes is taking all my time. I have hundreds of finished product, and buckets of un cleaned fossils. Make an offer!
Below is a small sample of what we sell. The Pieces with Silver hangers (the 'finding') can be used for any purpose, the intent was for necklaces, though some earrings were made into earrings and key chains. We also have many pieces cleaned and polished without the Silver findings.
Most Sand Dollars (we call them Sand Angels due to the commonly found 'ghost-like' shape similar to an angel with one or both arms raised) are found still in the sandstone or shale 'matrix rock' and have to be broken, ground and sanded out before polishing. A very few are found 'clean', and these often still have the grooves and patterns of typical sand dollars found on the beach.
There are 4 levels of pricing based on rarity of the find. Size (of the sand dollar) does not matter, it is color, pattern, polish and shape that makes the difference (there is no finish applied, the shine is created by hand sanding and polishing). It takes on average a little over an hour to prepare each fossil, though i tend to take more care with the rare finds.
Click on the image to the right of the price and description to get a large image showing examples. The images are large enough that you should be able to zoom in for a better look, though we have found that sand angels do NOT photograph well.
For more information email Fred Mallett at: firstname.lastname@example.org
Here is what typical find looks like before the hard work begins.
|Common finds. They are beautiful, but common in color or polish. Most are not shaped fully round and have sections missing. Someone will fall in love with each of them for their faults.

The public has been warned not to eat pork from Vietnam after an outbreak of a serious disease in pig farms across the border.
The Agriculture Ministry’s department of animal health and production is enforcing additional precautionary measures to ensure contaminated pork from Vietnam does not make its way into Cambodia.
Sen Sovann, the department’s director-general, said additional inspections will be conducted along the border as well as at local pig farms to prevent salmonella-infected pork from being imported into Cambodia after reports emerged last week that Vietnam was culling infected pigs.
“For us in Cambodia, this outbreak has yet to happen because I have assigned my officials and provincial officials since Saturday to intervene to monitor the symptoms,” he said.
“And also, we have to intervene because we are afraid that Vietnam is running out of measures and may export those products to us.
“In Vietnam, they have taken action to curb the bacteria known as salmonella which usually is found in pigs. This kind of bacteria creates high levels of endotoxin and laboratory tests found high levels of endotoxins in the pigs there, so Vietnam destroyed those animals,” he added.
According to Vietnamese news outlet Viet Nam News, a recent study revealed that 44 percent of pork sampled from 2014 to 2015 in the northern Hung Yen province was found to have been infected with salmonella.
The study also found that those who consumed the contaminated pork had an 18 percent probability of becoming ill as a result.
Salmonella is a common pathogen which can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever and blood poisoning in humans.
Sam Vitou, the executive director for the Cambodian Center for Study and Development in Agriculture, explained that salmonella was one of the most common bacteria found in pigs, which could in turn infect humans who have eaten pork.
“Basically, humans and pigs have similar organ systems. So when there is a diseased pig, we could also be infected and face serious danger,” he said.
“If we don’t adequately cook the pork, consumers can be seriously infected.”
In January, 213 people, mostly primary school students, were treated for food poisoning after being given contaminated pork….(2.2.Khmer Times.3.2.1

Napster announced multiple partnerships today across several industries. First, it has teamed with Sprint. Customers with the phone company can try out one month of the music service for free, then add the monthly $9.99 fee to their regular phone bills. Streaming Napster music won’t count against customers’ data plans.
The second deal with with Even, a headphone company. The business touts headphones with “earprints” that adjust sound based on how an individual’s own hearing quirks. Napster is creating one of these customized earprints for Even.

Bernie Parent is 10th at best (I have him 11th), and he was without a doubt better than Tony O.
wow, you would seriously consider having him as low as 24th? You don't say a lot of ridiculous things, but...
clearly you are missing something.
I actually have Belfour pretty high - you know this. After Bower and Parent in 10th and 11th, Belfour may be next.
Yes I have Parent ahead... but if it wasn't for two of the most incredible playoff runs of all-time, I wouldn't. Parent's regular season career is just Esposito's, minus a couple great years, minus a couple more good years. (Esposito, FWIW, had one of the greatest playoff runs of all-time too - only problem was that the exclamation mark on it was the Lemaire goal)
It's certainly not a slam dunk according to the "establishment", either - the vaunted THN panel put Espo 79th - 16 spots below Parent.
It is remarkable how little credit some people still give Esposito's regular season accomplishments.

Now, according to media reports, a road sign is warning of an interstellar invasion – all the way from the planet Skaro.
The Daleks, the extermination-loving tin pepperpots from British sci-fi TV show “Doctor Who”, have clearly picked up on the programme’s growing popularity in the United States, and allegedly invaded Denver, Colorado.
Mystery surrounds how practical jokers managed to meddle with the electronic construction sign along Arapahoe Road in Boulder, Colorado, as the local department of transportation is stridently claiming that the device was properly secured.
And we don’t know who is behind the hack either. Davros didn’t return our calls.
In the past, companies who put these signs by the roadside have shown carelessness about their security – by not physically locking them or failing to choose hard-to-guess software passwords.
Obviously, it’s never a good idea to mess around with signs designed to share messages with road traffic – but I can’t deny that the seven-year-old version of me would have been utterly thrilled to see this.

After beginning its season at 3-4, the University of Indianapolis women’s tennis team improved its record to 8-4, thanks to a five-match winning streak, which included two shutout victories over the past weekend.
The Greyhounds increased their winning streak over the weekend by knocking off both the University of Southern Indiana on March 28 and the University of Illinois Springfield on March 29 by the final scores of 9-0 in both matches.
UIndy picked up two wins the weekend before, defeating the Ashland University Eagles 9-0 on Sunday, March 23, and the McKendree University Bearcats 7-2 on Saturday, March 22. Both games were held at home in the UIndy Tennis Center.
Against Ashland, UIndy completed their first sweep of the season, extending their winning streak to three matches.
Sophomore Allie Smith and senior Taylor Eckert contributed to the victory, finding success during the No. 1 doubles, winning 8-3. Eckert said she was proud of the team and the teamwork that took place during the match.
“I think that we [the team] are really starting to come together,” Eckert said. “Everyone is beginning to play for a sense of team, instead of just individual.”
Sophomore Macey Speer and freshman Selenay Heper also won against Ashland, taking the No. 2 doubles 8-1, while junior Brooke Boyts and senior Kasey Land also won the No. 3 doubles 8-1.
Following their success in doubles, the Greyhounds won all six singles matches in straight sets. Freshman Maria Mendes captured a win in No. 2 singles, which was her third regional win in singles play this season. Eckert also found success in singles, winning her fifth singles match of the spring season. Heper won in dual match play in No. 4 singles. Speer won in No. 5 singles with a 6-0, 6-2 score. Land wrapped up action with a win in No. 6 singles with a score of 6-3, 6-1.
Against McKendree, UIndy grabbed an early lead by taking a 3-0 advantage, after sweeping the doubles matches with contributions by Eckert and Smith in No. 1 doubles. The duo, at the time, was ranked eighth in the region. The matches won were against redshirt seniors Adriana and Giuliana Gonzalez, who suffered an 8-4 defeat to the Greyhounds.
Eckert said that she was satisfied with the performance she and her partner gave, and that they are starting to get into a good rhythm and seeing promising results.
“I think that we are really starting to see some major improvements with me and my partner [Allie] Smith,” Eckert said. “I think that we are finally starting to piece together all of the little parts of our game. So I’m pretty happy about where we are right now.”
The Greyhounds had a successful day against McKendree in doubles action, as the No. 2 doubles duo for UIndy, Speer and Heper, grabbed an 8-5 victory to add to the Greyhound lead. Following the No. 2 doubles win, Boyts and Land also won with an 8-5 victory in No. 3 doubles. With the victory, Boyts and Land extended their winning streak to three matches. With the final duo win, the Greyhounds led 7-2.
Boyts said she is extremely pleased with the performances that she and her teammate have shown thus far this season.
“Kasey and I are really strong this year, coming back with more confidence and experience. So we can use that to our advantage,” Boyts said. “[Head Tennis] Coach [Malik Tabet] gives us clear strategies to follow, and it’s up to us to apply them into our game in order to be successful.”
Following the success in doubles, UIndy struggled during the beginning of the singles matches. After McKendree claimed the first two wins in singles, the Greyhounds went on a run, winning the next five singles matches, which ended any chance of a McKendree comeback.
The Greyhounds will prepare for an away matchup against the Bellarmine University Knights on April 4, which is set to begin at 2 p.m.

The week started with gorgeous weather and calm seas and finished with medium winds out of the South East, all in all pretty ideal. The flat calm conditions the first few days lead to several encounters with pods of rolling migratory tarpon out front, exciting to say the least for the lucky anglers who witnessed it. Permit are starting to move back into the flats after their relative lack the previous weeks, when the majority of action was in deeper water. Several grand slams and one super slam this week as well. Things are really starting to heat up around here temperature-wise, and we are seeing green turtles mating and starting to come out and false lay on the beaches. One lost lady took an early morning detour through the lodge and staff quarters at Casa Blanca last week before finding her way back to the sea near the dock.

One of her aliases is CupcakePuppy44. That’s parent, author, and former teacher Sharon Duke Estroff’s Instagram handle. She created a join account with her 10-year-old after some stonewalling and some external investigation (with kids, fellow parents, and psychologists), not to mention a certain amount of hounding by her daughter, who – not unlike other 4th- and 5th-graders – indicated she was “the only poor, deprived soul in a school full of Ugg-wearing, iPhone-toting, whatevering children.”
Sharon – who wrote a wonderful series of guest posts here in NetFamilyNews as Undercover Mom in Club Penguin, Stardoll.com, Poptropica, and BarbieGirls.com in 2009 – is as thoughtful as ever about kids in mobile apps. Don’t miss her thorough investigation into Instagram for Scholastic Parent & Child magazine, with three main points called “lessons” that a lot of parents suspect but would probably like to hear more on (she also offers four brief safety “rules” for underage Instagram use which make a lot of sense). What I love about Sharon’s approach is the balance that parents deserve: She provides both the upsides and the downsides, and she’s not out to scare anybody. That’s real child and parent advocacy.
Some how-to’s from our own Instagram guide
Our own Parents’ Guide to Instagram at ConnectSafely.org has a little more detail on what to do if stuff comes up. Sharon mentions hearing from a 9-year-old named “Hannah” that her “first follower was this weird old man” (that would be only one kind of “stranger” any user with a public account could encounter, many also being friends of friends of peers). Sharon asked her what she did, and Hannah said she “deleted him” but he “came back two days later.” In a situation like that, we tell parents in our guide, you can…
“Block someone if necessary. If someone’s harassing you, such as repeatedly tagging you in photos you don’t like, you can block them so they can’t tag you or mention you in comments. They also won’t be able to see your profile or search for your account. To block a user, go to his or her profile and select the Menu button on the top right side, then select ‘Block User.’ (Android users, go to the profile and tap the three small squares, then select ‘Block User.’)”
Relieved but conflicted
We also tell parents how people can untag themselves, manage their profiles, think about privacy, and be a good friend in the app. And we have some closing thoughts about parenting on the mobile platform at the end (page 6 of our short-and-to-the-point guide).
As for Sharon’s undercover experience (the first time I’ve known her to go in cognito in an app), sensible as always, she – probably like most of us – “was left relieved … but also conflicted. The democratic platform of social media means that the ability to censor material or share it on an age-appropriate basis is nearly impossible.” I appreciated her wisdom in concluding that, though it’s tempting to say no altogether to social media, “as our children grow, our ability to control their interaction with technology shrinks. The best we can do, as parents, is be there, strapped in beside our kids, making the journey down this uncharted digital road together.”

Sensel, the creators of the Morph multi-touch controller, today introduced Spectral Shiatsu, a free instrument for Max For Live that lets you ‘massage’ sounds.
Spectral Shiatsu uses the Morph’s ability to detect touch and pressure to give you a new way to interact with sounds. If you don’t have a Morph, you can use Spectral Shiatsu with a mouse or touchpad.
Here’s how it works:
When you load a sound file (or picture) into Spectral Shiatsu, it analyses it and creates a map of all the frequencies and their volumes over time.
This sonograph is then mapped to the Sensel Morph, so you can ‘massage’ the sound, pressing softly to play a small part or harder to play more of it.
“Artists and designers are all quite familiar with ‘massaging’ and ‘teasing’ their work,” says Sensel’s Peter Nyboer, “so we found a way to make this metaphor literal. You will definitely uncover some really unusual sonic textures, possibly even learning something about the nature of time and sound.”
Here are some examples of Spectral Shiatsu in action:

Even though Aaron Rodgers’ place in Green Bay Packers history is secure, he didn’t leave the team this offseason on the best of terms.
He had seemingly been at odds with management for the past couple of years, and the tension included a contract dispute in 2022 that threatened to end his tenure there.
The future Hall-of-Fame quarterback is now a member of the New York Jets and seems revitalized, and the Jordan Love era is beginning for the Packers.
Apparently, Rodgers hasn’t forgotten about his old team, as Love says the four-time MVP contacted him just before training camp began.
#Packers QB Jordan Love says Aaron Rodgers reached out to him last night ahead of his first training camp as QB1.
Rodgers said, "Just be yourself, have fun, and enjoy it."
Cool to see.
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) July 26, 2023
Although critics have gone after Rodgers for his subpar playoff record while in Green Bay, he did lead the team to its most recent Super Bowl championship in 2010.
Now he will look to guide the Jets to their first world championship since 1968 in a much tougher conference and division, although he will have better weapons around him than he did last season with the Packers.
Meanwhile, it is a brave new world for Green Bay, as no one knows exactly what to expect with Love.
In three NFL seasons, he has played in just 10 games and started only one of them, and he has completed just 60.2 percent of his passes while throwing three touchdown passes and three interceptions.
While at Utah State University, Love was solid, but his completion percentage was low and he failed to win any significant individual honors.
There is a good chance that for the first time in just over 30 years, Green Bay will not have a very talented and capable player under center.NEXT: Packers GM Reveals Preseason Plans For Jordan Love

This native wood protects 2km of one bank of the Halk Burn which feeds the Gala Water as it enters Galashiels. In the event of extreme rainfall it will moderate the flow of water into the town and reduce flood risk. It lies close to a remnant of the ancient Ettrick Forest and will link with a native wood immediately to the South. The woodland will be of high biodiversity value enhancing aquatic and riparian life.
Children from 5 local schools planted 700 native trees within the woodland and it is intended that the schools will further develop their interest in the project. It will be managed as a native wood on a non-intervention basis. Natural regeneration of trees will occur within the fence.
The Southern end of the woodland lies approximately 300m from the line of the new Borders railway.

Imagine if you invested in RootMusic, which recently raised a $2.3 million round. You’d get to go to their San Franciso digs and listen to music all day.
Just last week, Pandora Media registered to raise $100 million in an IPO. Yesterday, TuneUp added $2 million to its Series C round. Will that and other recent music investment activity spark more investment interest in the sector?
Actually, most VCs have avoided the music industry and its checkered past—until recently.
But that could be changing. Venture Capital Journal subscribers can now read about what investors, such as those who backed Pandora, are thinking about when it comes to music-related tech deals.
The story is due to come out in the March issue of VCJ. But in light of the Pandora IPO and other recent deals, we set the story live now.

|Trends over time in the management of 2253 patients with cerebral aneurysms: A single practice experience.|
|Jump to Full Text|
|PMID: 21886883 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE|
|BACKGROUND: To better understand the longitudinal trend in the proportion of techniques employed for cerebral aneurysm treatment, we reviewed our experience with 2253 patients over the last 11 years.
METHODS: We reviewed data in our prospective aneurysm database for all consecutive patients treated from January 1998 through December 2009. Data regarding age, sex, aneurysm location, presence or absence of hemorrhage, Fisher grade, clinical grade, treatment methods, length of hospitalization, and mortality rates by the time of discharge were retrieved and retrospectively analyzed. The most common aneurysm types were subsequently classified and analyzed separately.
RESULTS: The patient population included 663 males (29%) and 1590 females (71%). A total of 2253 patients presented with 3413 aneurysms; 1523 (63%) of the aneurysms were diagnosed as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. A total of 2411 (71%) aneurysms were treated. Overall, 645 (27%) of the 2411 aneurysms underwent endosaccular coiling and 1766 (73%) underwent clip ligation; 69 (3%) of these aneurysms required both treatment modalities. The percentage of all aneurysms treated by endosaccular coiling increased from 8% (21) in 1998 to 28% (87) in 2009. There was no statistical difference between the average length of hospitalization for patients who underwent endosaccular coiling and clip ligation for their ruptured (P = 0.19) and unruptured (P = 0.80) aneurysms during this time period.
CONCLUSIONS: In our practice, endovascular treatment has continued to be more frequently employed to treat cerebral aneurysms. This technique has had the greatest proportional increase in the treatment of posterior circulation aneurysms.

Endosaccular coiling has revolutionized the care of cerebral aneurysms. Multiple landmark studies have documented the effectiveness and safety of endosaccular coiling as an alternative to clip ligation.[3, 13, 16] These studies have foreshadowed trends in the general application of these two methods for aneurysm treatment. The International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial (ISAT) is the only randomized control trial that has tested this coiling treatment and shown the safety of coiling versus clipping. Since its introduction in the early 1990s, the number of aneurysms treated by endosaccular coiling has steadily increased, especially in academic medical centers. As newer technology has emerged and technique has been refined, coiling has become a standard treatment for intracranial aneurysms.[1, 4, 5, 11, 17] To better understand the longitudinal trend in the proportion of these techniques applied in a busy cerebrovascular practice, the authors reviewed their experience in the management of cerebral aneurysms from 1998 through 2009. These trends have not been previously reported for different aneurysm types in the United States.
Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine maintains a comprehensive, prospective aneurysm database containing records from 4127 patients treated from 1976 to the present. This database was searched to obtain relevant data for all consecutive patients treated from January 1998 through December 2009. This time period was selected because we have routinely offered endosaccular coiling as an option for aneurysm treatment since 1997. Data regarding age, sex, aneurysm location, presence or absence of hemorrhage, Fisher grade, clinical grade, treatment methods, and mortality rates by the time of discharge were retrieved and retrospectively analyzed.
The potential for surgical or endovascular treatment was routinely discussed for most subarachnoid hemorrhage patients following their diagnostic study, and again for most elective aneurysm patients, at our biweekly, multidisciplinary, cerebrovascular conference. The approval of the Institutional Review Board at the Methodist Hospital was obtained.
A total of 2253 patients (663 males, 1590 females) presented with 3413 aneurysms. Of these, 2411 aneurysms were treated. Upon detailed evaluation, treatment was determined to be not appropriate for the remaining aneurysms, which were found among patients with either poor neurologic or medical status or incidentally among patients with multiple aneurysms. Of the 2411 (71%) aneurysms that were treated, 1950 (81%) were located in the anterior circulation, and 461 (19%) were in the posterior circulation.
Of the 2411 aneurysms treated, 1523 (63%) were diagnosed as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, and of these, 1105 (72%) were classified as Hunt–Hess grades I–III (42%, 10%, and 20%, respectively), and 412 (27%) were Hunt–Hess grades IV and V (19% and 8%, respectively). Hunt-Hess scores were not available for six patients.
Of the 2411 aneurysms treated, 645 (27%) were treated with endosaccular coiling, and 1766 (73%) were managed with clip ligation. These numbers include 69 (3%) aneurysms that required both treatment modalities. The number of all aneurysms treated by endosaccular coiling increased from 21 (8%) in 1998 to 87 (28%) in 2009. However, the total number of aneurysms treated by clip ligation decreased from 195 (76%) in 1998 to 123 (39%) in 2009 [Figure 1].
The percentage of basilar artery bifurcation aneurysms treated by endovascular methods increased from 22% in 1998 to 88% in 2009 [Figure 2]. During this same time, the proportion of anterior communicating artery aneurysms managed with endosaccular coiling increased from 6% to 38%, whereas the percentage of these aneurysms treated by clip ligation alone declined from 92% to 57% [Figure 3]. Of all posterior-communicating artery aneurysms, 5% were treated with coiling in 1998 compared with 31% in 2009. Furthermore, 93% of these aneurysms underwent clip ligation in 1998 versus 62% in 2009 [Figure 4]. The middle cerebral artery aneurysms were managed primarily through clip ligation during the study period.
Of the 479 patients over age 60, 40% (190) were managed with endosaccular coiling, and 60% (289) were selected for clip ligation; however, these older patients have increasingly been treated by endosaccular coiling [Figure 5].
The proportion of patients with poor Hunt-Hess grades (grades IV and V) at the time of treatment who underwent endosaccular coiling increased from 15% in 1998 to 38% in 2009. The overall mortality rate for all the patients with cerebral aneurysms during their hospital stay has remained relatively constant during this time period (12% in 1998 to 11% in 2009).
There was no statistically significant difference between the average length of hospitalization for patients who underwent endosaccular coiling or clip ligation for their ruptured (average: 15 versus 14 days; P = 0.19) and unruptured (average: 3 versus 4.5 days; P = 0.80) aneurysms .
Overall, the number of cerebral aneurysms undergoing treatment is increasing.[1, 4, 5, 11, 17] This increase may be due to the more frequent discovery of incidental unruptured aneurysms when scans are performed for unrelated conditions.[1, 4] Since the early 1990s, endosaccular aneurysm treatment has become an increasingly important part of aneurysm care. Participating surgeons and interventionists in major cerebrovascular centers have fostered their philosophy on the effectiveness and safety of endosaccular coiling versus clip ligation based on their center's experience with these treatment methods and interpretation of the available literature. This philosophy is dynamic, evolving, and affects the proportion of the patients who undergo each treatment paradigm. A detailed assessment of the utility of each method over time and the outcome from each technique will shape the future of aneurysm care. Our findings reflect our philosophy for treatment of cerebral aneurysms.
The treatment trends observed in our series reflect the nationwide movement toward using endovascular therapy more frequently.[1, 4–6, 17] Most patients in nonacademic hospitals with a lack of neurointervention support are still managed with clip ligation.[4, 6] Certain types of aneurysms, such as middle cerebral artery bifurcation and giant aneurysms, as well as those with wide necks or intraluminal thrombus, may be best managed surgically. We have retained a lower threshold to offer clip ligation to younger patients (<55 years of age) and those who harbor relatively accessible aneurysms (P-comm and MCA aneurysms).
Because the technique of endosaccular coiling is still relatively new, adequate long-term follow-up data are not yet available comparing the durability of endosaccular versus surgical aneurysm obliteration, especially among younger patients. However, the available studies have provided certain trends. In general, patients who undergo surgical clipping may have longer hospital stays following their procedure and an increased rate of complications.[11, 18, 20] Surgical clipping carries a greater durability, with fewer clipped aneurysms recanalizing and rebleeding, whereas coiled aneurysms may recanalize and, in some instances, rebleed.[5, 11] The endovascular approach may be preferred for posterior circulation aneurysms because of the potentially high rates of morbidity following surgery. The long-term outcome of small recurrent aneurysms that previously underwent endosaccular coiling is not clearly defined. Such recurrent aneurysms pose an important treatment dilemma, especially among our younger patients. Clip ligation of such recurrent aneurysms is associated with an increased risk. Johnston et al. found that adverse outcomes were significantly more common in surgical cases (18.5%) compared to endovascular cases (0.6%).
In our study, the length of hospitalization did not differ between the patients who underwent clip ligation versus endosaccular coiling, regardless of their aneurysm rupture status. There was no statistically significant difference between the average length of hospitalization for the patients who underwent endosaccular coiling or clip ligation for their ruptured (average: 15 versus 14 days; P = 0.19) and unruptured (average 3 versus 4.5 days; P = 0.80) aneurysms. Our patients’ mortality rates during the decade studied did not decrease despite the more frequent use of endosaccular coiling. These results are likely to be affected by selection bias because the patients who harbored more risk factors for a poor outcome, including elderly patients and those with a poor Hunt-Hess grade, were likely selected for intervention therapies. A more sensitive battery of tests, such as detailed neuropsychological evaluation, may be necessary to assess the potential morbidity associated with clip ligation, especially among patients with unruptured aneurysms in comparison with endovascular occlusion. It is difficult to assess the superiority of one technique versus another using mortality rates alone. Randomized controlled trials are needed to account for confounding factors.
Other recent studies mirror our findings that currently at least one-third of aneurysms are managed through endovascular techniques. We have offered clip ligation to our patients as the preferred treatment option since the durability of clip ligation has been definitively established and this modality does not carry excessive risks. A survey of 100 neurosurgical departments in Germany revealed that 63% of aneurysms were selected for clip ligation versus 37% for endosaccular coiling. Natarajan et al. reported that among 195 consecutive patients, 55% underwent microsurgical clip ligation and 45% underwent endosaccular coiling between January 2005 and June 2006. Other surgeons have favored clip ligation. Hoh et al. reviewed 515 patients admitted between November 1995 and February 2003. Of these, 413 (80%) underwent clip ligation, whereas 79 (15%) underwent endosaccular coiling. Conversely, some centers have chosen to significantly increase the share of coiling procedures. Andaluz and Zuccarello reported that in their center, the number of endovascular procedures doubled from 1993 to 2003.
The reason for the trend over time for each method's application has not been clearly defined. Gnanalingham et al. reported an increase in the proportion of patients undergoing endovascular treatment from 35% to 68% between February 2001 and May 2003. The authors attributed this increase to the results of the ISAT trial published in 2002. The ISAT study affected the practice of vascular neurosurgery considerably, especially in some centers. Ogungbo et al. reported that from 1990 to 1998, the proportion of patients undergoing surgery decreased from 66.3% to 35.3%. An overall lower morbidity/mortality rate for endovascular treatment is a major factor in favor of endovascular treatment when either modality can be employed.[1, 6]
In our practice, treatment of less surgically accessible aneurysms, such as those in the basilar artery bifurcation region, has undergone the most impressive transformation, especially around the years 2000–2002. At present, more than 80% of such aneurysms undergo endosaccular coiling. These trends are likely the result of the evolution of endovascular technology, including the introduction of stent-assisted and balloon-assisted aneurysm coiling, both of which show great potential to expand the role of endosaccular coiling in the treatment for wide-neck cerebral aneurysms previously considered “uncoilable.”
We have also seen an overall increase in the number of Hunt–Hess grade IV and V patients treated. This is reflective of a general willingness by interventionists to treat poor-grade patients immediately, along with an increase in the admission of these patients.[17, 21] Until recently, the prevailing standard of care has been to manage Hunt–Hess grade IV and V patients conservatively (medically) until they stabilize and reach a better grade (III or better) before initiating a more aggressive treatment. In general, these patients have very poor outcomes with surgical clipping. However, Bailes et al. found that grade IV and V patients who are treated only medically experience a high mortality rate. Ogungbo et al. ascribe a 50/50 chance of survival as compared to poor-grade patients, regardless of the treatment used. In addition to this study, other groups have evaluated outcomes among the patients who first undergo conservative management. Hoh et al. found only a 15% favorable outcome rate for such patients , and Hijdra et al. found 71% mortality in the patients whose treatment was delayed. Endovascular treatment, on the other hand, shows promise in the treatment of this population, and as such, it is now used much more frequently in our center as well as others.
At the same time, elderly patients (over age 60) have been increasingly treated by endosaccular coiling [Figure 5]. This trend is seen in other centers as well. This trend may be especially beneficial for this subset of patients as well as their younger counterparts since they generally may not tolerate surgery. The durability of the treatment is of less concern in the older population; therefore, endovascular treatment may be a preferred option because this modality seems to decrease mortality for the stated short follow-up intervals reported.[4, 6]
The choice of whether to treat using surgical or endovascular methods has remained controversial and many authors have addressed this question.[4, 5, 11, 15] There is no consensus, and each patient must be evaluated individually concerning the characteristics of his/her aneurysm, such as its location, size, and morphology. The age of the patient and clinical grade are also critical factors to tailor the optimal treatment choice.[4, 5, 11, 15] A consultation for each patient should be undertaken involving, at the very least, clinicians with expertise in both microsurgical and endovascular techniques, to determine the best course of treatment.[4–6]
Each method carries its own advantages, and a multidisciplinary approach has become the standard of care. The determination of the exact criteria to select appropriate candidates for either treatment modality remains to be defined. Some situations in which surgery is warranted include patient preference toward surgery, the need for relief of the mass effect from a hemorrhage, and the lack of availability of timely (within 72 h) therapy with endovascular methods. More sensitive large-scale studies using post-treatment neuropsychological evaluation and long-term durability trials will significantly influence the type of care that patients with cerebral aneurysms will receive.
The cost associated with the two procedures is another factor that may drive some centers to employ particular techniques.[1, 11] Johnston et al. found that the mean cost associated with clip ligation (the overall cost of therapy including any additional procedures after the initial coiling or clipping) was significantly higher than that of a patient treated with endosaccular coiling: $43,000 for clipping versus $30,000 for coiling. However, Hoh et al. found that coiling was associated with higher hospital costs in both patients with unruptured and ruptured aneurysms, and attributed the higher cost to the higher cost of the coils themselves versus clipping devices.
The trend toward more endosaccular coiling will likely continue as higher generation of stents, including flow diverting and disrupting stents such as Pipeline (Chestnut Medical Technologies, Menlo Park, CA, USA) are popularized. Such stenting technology will further facilitate the occlusion of previously considered “broad-neck” aneurysms. Where is the ultimate plateau to be reached in terms of the proportion of aneurysms treated endovascularly versus surgically? The answer is not currently known. Similarly, the future of aneurysm surgery is not completely clear, but some speculations can be made.
Although the surgical technology has remained relatively unchanged during the past decade, the endovascular technology continues to evolve. This will decrease the number of aneurysms undergoing clip ligation. This phenomenon will place the art of aneurysm surgery only in the hands of selected groups of surgeons in the few specialized “aneurysm care centers” treating technically challenging aneurysms that are not amenable to other treatment methods. The exposure of neurosurgical residents and their hands-on experience to treat these challenging lesions will be minimized. Will this situation discourage residents from aggressively pursuing the art of microsurgical aneurysm care? The aneurysms that are not amenable to endovascular techniques will present enormous challenges that require surgeons with special skills, temperament, and dedication. Will future trainees be ready to take on the responsibility required to acquire the necessary skills?
Endosaccular coiling has been established to play an important role in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. This method is surpassing clip ligation for posterior circulation aneurysms in our practice. The aneurysms referred for clip ligation will be more technically challenging with further advances in endovascular care. More sensitive tools in large-scale studies with adequate long-term follow-up are necessary to define the role of clip ligation versus endovascular techniques for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms.

Shipbuilders, of Low Walker, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
1842 The John Coutts yard completed the first iron paddle steamer built on the Tyne, the Prince Albert, plus two other ships but then failed financially. Afterwards the Works passed into the hands of Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill & Co.
1844 Advert for 230t Iron Schooner, built but yet to be fitted out, at Coutts, Tyne Iron Shipbuilding Works Walker, Newcastle-on-Tyne.
Coutts and Parkinson was set up at Willington Quay.
1852 Charles Mitchell returned to Newcastle and set up his own Low Walker yard next to the Coutts yard.
1860 John Wigham Richardson bought the four-acre yard with three berths and a workforce of 200 men on the site of the John Coutts and Miller & Ravenhill yards. This was enough for him to found the Neptune Shipyard at Wallsend, which he established as Wigham Richardson.
James Skinner (later to form Wood, Skinner and Co in 1883) had worked for the Coutts Low Walker yard.

Unable to keep up with security holes, attacks and government regulations, enterprises will turn to outside firms...
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
for 90% of their security by 2010, according to Yankee Group. Security companies marketing themselves as vulnerability managers will thrive in this environment.
A new report from the Boston-based research firm noted that more businesses have made security a priority to meet growing threats and comply with laws like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Enterprises are swallowing some of their ROI concerns and setting aside more cash for outside help, unconvinced they can handle the daunting task on their own.
As this happens, vendors who sell vulnerability scanning devices will do well simply by marketing their products as "vulnerability management services," said Matthew Kovar, security solutions and services vice president for Yankee Group.
"Organizations have used these legislated requirements to kick off security risk programs known in the early generations as vulnerability-management initiatives," said Kovar, the report's author. "This directive has been a marketing coup for companies that have taken vulnerability-scanning services and called them 'vulnerability-management services.' Managed security service providers (MSSPs) are merely naming the services to align with what executives are trying to do. It was pure happenstance that the product name matched enterprise need, which will be profitable for those managed security service providers that offer these robust risk-management services."
The report was a year in the making and is based on feedback from enterprises across a range of industries, Kovar said. He focused on mid- to large-sized companies and his research included roundtable discussions. "We also spoke to a lot of service providers, talking to them as providers as well as those in need of security solutions," Kovar said.
Those in the financial, telecommunications and health care industries are especially concerned about security, Kovar said. But, he added, "The concern isn't limited to those areas. No industry out there is telling us they don't want outside help. Everyone is looking at spending more for security. In health care, for example, it's all about protecting their intellectual property."
In the past, enterprises focused on buying affordable security devices with a specific focus, making it hard for MSSPs to thrive. But with attackers exploiting software vulnerabilities with increased speed and a host of security-driven laws making it onto the books in the last couple of years, times have changed. "The need for superior security value has turned the landscape around," Kovar said. "The whole has become greater than the individual parts." Instead of purchasing the lowest-cost devices, companies see a bigger need for integrated, faster, more responsive solutions, he added.
Based on his research, Kovar said companies like TruSecure and Symantec are the early leaders in security risk management. Close on their heels are Unisys, Netsec, Solutionary, ISS and RedSiren. The third group of niche player challengers includes AT&T, VeriSign (which acquired MSSP Guardent), Counterpane, Ubizen and Qualys. The report noted that this last group is starting to add vulnerability scanning, threat and vulnerability alerts and life-cycle management to service delivery platforms and will challenge the market leaders by the end of this year.
In the end, Kovar said, "Those who don't understand how to integrate vulnerability management into their portfolios or understand how to tune devices and systems to accept good traffic and block the bad will continue to struggle."
The report, available to Yankee Group clients, predicts managed security service revenue will grow from $1.5 billion in 2002 to $3.7 billion in 2008. This includes both professional services and managed services, which totaled $1.1 billion and $540 million, respectively, in 2002, and will grow to $2.2 billion and $1.1 billion by 2008.

As a female, I have felt intimidated and threatened many, many times in my life by random men walking near me after dark. Sometimes the men even say things that make me feel more afraid. I wonder how long it would take to repeal "stand your ground" laws if women and girls all over the country, based on their feelings, began shooting men and boys on sight.
Stand your ground was never a part of this case.
Not only was it not tried. It also does not apply at all. Zimmerman was not in a postion to stand his ground. He was on the ground under a superior aggressor who was beating him senseless(some would say possibly causing him great bodily harm).
This whole case hinges on who started the fight. Following someone does not count. Had a gun never been drawn TM would probably be in jail because he was beating someone for following him. That would be a weak self defense case. Now all bets are off if GZ grabbed him, or hit him but facts of the case are thin there.
While I sort of understand the reasons for the jury's verdict, given the information they had, but I have to ask you this. If I followed you just because you were the wrong color, and called the police and told them I was following a suspicious person using a perceived racist remark (assuming the two of us were different races) and I tried stopping you and you, suddenly threatened, jumped me in what you saw as self defense and I shot you, you wouldn't mind?
Something has to change in our legal system so that a suspicious person like Zimmerman, who may have called him a "fucking coon", (though Zimmerman said what he actually said was "fucking cold") but that apparently caused Trayvon to go after him, and that was that. Zimmerman did say to the dispatcher a little earlier that "fucking punks" like that "always get away".
He was also told by the 911 operator not to follow Trayvon. But he did. He wasn't breaking any law, but he was demonstrating no judgment, maturity or decency. Not something to be proud of, even if he didn't also shoot the kid.
Keep in mind that Trayvon had committed no crime, and nobody but Zimmerman was suspicious of him.
There is no way to call what happened right. Unless it's okay for me to shoot you whenever I please. Because by my standards, you sound mighty suspicious.

GADSDEN, Alabama -- Justin Chain will open the country music night at Gadsden's Riverfest June 14. He will perform at 6 p.m.
Chain, who appeared on season five of NBC's "The Voice," is currently working on his first album "Real Country."
Though he lost on the television program back in October, it was the opportunity of a lifetime for a man whose life was almost cut short. Chain has 78 screws and 13 plates in his body, the result of a motorcycle accident in Fort Payne in 2008 when a Trailblazer came into his lane and hit him head on.
First responders thought he wouldn't make it, and doctors considered amputating his legs. But he beat the odds by standing and walking just days before he was to begin treatment.

The Cove Cemetery, located on the hills south of Cove, overlooks the Grande Ronde Valley and the surrounding Blue and Wallowa Mountains. The earliest stone in this beautiful and historic cemetery is dated 1864, marking the grave of Selena Grace Hendershot — the young daughter of a Cove pioneer.
For many years after Selena’s burial, Cove residents continued to use the site to bury family members and friends. In its early days of existence, the cemetery was enclosed by a rail fence and was called the Rose Ridge Cemetery. A hack was purchased to transport those to be buried up the steep and muddy road.
In 1883, property owners James and Ellen Bloom donated the land to the newly formed cemetery board. The cemetery operated from the sale of grave plots and local fundraising efforts, especially Memorial Day dinners which brought many former residents to Cove on that day.
In 1949, the Cove Cemetery Maintenance District was formed to operate the cemetery using tax support to carry out this responsibility. Over the years, numerous improvements have been made to the cemetery including: acquisition of additional land, improved roads, increased maintenance, installation of stone benches throughout the grounds, an underground irrigation system, and construction of a decorative metal fence and gates at the entrance.

I have several vlans created. All devices attached to these vlans can access internet with no issue. I am using tomato build 132 on an asus rt-n66u router. When the windows 10 computer and windows xp computer is configured manually for dns no opendns oops! page but when the computers are set to obtain dns auto and use router for opendns the oops! page appears. I have the opendns servers, all 3, entered in the tomato dns settings. I tried all of the standard procedures flushdns and clear broswer cache. The opendns support has said "From what I can see right now, your router isn't actually able to use OpenDNS servers and send them out on your network. The NSLOOKUPs that you've performed proves this, along with the test you did by applying the OpenDNS servers directly on your computer(s)." Is there a bug in tomato build 132 with this? Thanks in advance.
I've been able to get opendns to work properly using the router by unchecking "use as dns" in the basic: ddns section. However after saving the change there was only one static dns server entry for opendns. I originally had 3 different opendns servers in the static dns section. The last 2 had 0.0.0.0 them. When I reenter the other opendns servers in place of the 0.0.0.0 entries, I lose internet service completely after saving. When I remove the last 2 entries, I regain internet service. Thanks in advance.
I found what the trouble was. I was using dnscrypt-proxy. I was using the 4armed resolver under basic:network:resolver. It did not work for opendns. I selected instead the cisco resolver and everything works now. Other resolvers may work I have yet to try them out. Anyhow, the other option to make it work was to not use dnscrypt-proxy. Opendns works fine now but the opendns support was not that helpful. They didn't seem to know the ins and outs of how to make it work. I had to experiment on my own to get things to work. I hope that this info will help out others.

AKVE KHALIDE - THERMOPOLIS
In the outskirts of Burgas city, district Vetren, localizes 15 km north of Burgas along E871/E773 towards A1.
The site is in regulation, existing developed infrastructure.
Ancient and medieval city Akve Khalide - Thermopolis emerged around the hot mineral springs already in the 1st millennium BC during Thracian times. It was known as the most celebrated sanctuary of the Three nymphs, patrons of the mineral spring's healing craft. At the beginning of the 2nd century AD the Roman Emperor Trajan built large bath complex - thermae and a road station called Akve Khalide meaning hot water. The baths became very famous throughout the Empire and during the 6th century the Byzantine Emperor Justinian the Great built a large fortification to protect them from invaders.
The fortress called Thermopolis continued to exist during the following centuries in the boundaries of the Bulgarian state.
Thermopolis' fate was strongly influenced by events related to the establishment of the Latin Empire in 1204 after the Crusaders’ conquest of Constantinople and the following wars with the Bulgarian King Kaloyan. After the captivity and death of the Latin Emperor Baldwin I of Constantinople (Baldwin IX Count of Flanders) in the Bulgarian capital Tarnovo, Tzarevgrad, his brother Henry II launched punitive military campaign against the Bulgarian towns south of the Balkan Mountains in the winter of 1206. The knights of the new Latin empire prosecuted conquests over Adrianopol (Edirne) and Arkadiopol (Lozengrad), they decided to house in the warm baths of La Farm, as the bath was called by the chronicler Vilarduen. After three months stay and treatment in the hot baths, they were recognized by the Latin knights for “the best in the world”, nevertheless Emperor Henry II commanded that the city together with the baths is to be burned to the ground.
In the centuries after, the healing powers of the mineral baths continued to be used by the people even thought the complex was almost destroyed. First in 1563 Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent commanded establishment of a new oriental bath over the destroyed Roman pools in gratitude for healed gout.
Since 2008, on the territory of Akve Khalide have been conducted regular archaeological surveys. Among the revealed parts of the ancient city are the bath complex, some public buildings, 6th-13th century church, the Justinian fortress wall, Thracian necropolis and sanctuary. In 2012 starts a program for restoration, socialization and exposure of the cultural values as well as development of infrastructure to access the monuments.
Visualization of the old city plan with the archaeological sites.
Setting boundaries and regimen for the use and administration of separate areas of the reserve "Akve Khalide" with a total area 36 acres. according to the Bulgarian Cultural Heritage Law. Restoration and conservation of the present immovable cultural property, regulations to access / areas, paths, setting up fencing and information signs. Restoration and integration of the oriental bath built in the 16th century - the only preserved monument of the early Ottoman architecture along the Black Sea coast. Establishment of a visitor center with multipurpose rooms and a museum. Creating electronic map of the terrain with marked routes. Screenings and audio guides (guide port) in different languages.
Festival of the Traditional Natural Treatment with demonstrations of ancient healing techniques using mineral water, mud and lye from Lake Atanasovsko.
15 km from Burgas, between districts Vetren and Banevo. Part of the nature park Mineralni bani. Next to the archaeological reserve can be found a sanatorium with spa and public fountains with mineral water.
The Archaeological Reserve consists of ancient and medieval baths, medieval Christian church, fortress walls and facilities connected to the defence system, Thracian tomb and other monuments.

Happy Monday, friends! We found the best little surprise this weekend, and we just had to share it with you! While we were going through piles upon piles of our 2014 photos for a few fun year-end blog posts (coming soon!) we stumbled across these photos and immediately DROPPED our jaws and everything we were doing! As soon as we saw these two sweet faces pop onto our screen, we were smiling big, nostalgic smiles as we were instantly transported back to some of our best memories and our time with two of our favorite people on the planet, Miss Annamarie Akins and her amazing husband, Ryan!
Anna and Ryan are great friends of ours who met us in Venice, Itlaly, and put the best kind of cherry on top of our amazing European adventure when they took our five year anniversary photos along the streets of Venice! Now, everybody has seen those, because we’ve all but made wallpaper for our entire house out of them! Bbut what nobody has seen, is what we were doing before that session!
Earlier that day, Anna and Ryan met us at our hotel, and we all went exploring the tiny side streets together. Naturally, we insisted on snapping some photos for them so they’d have something to remember their vacation by, too! And even though the sun was high in the sky, Ryan had just traveled all night by train to get there, and we had to hurry back to our hotel to get all dressed up for our anniversary session, we snuck in a few minutes to make some memories for Anna and Ryan. In all the excitement of them doing photos for us, we completely forgot these existed, and when we stumbled upon them this weekend, it was such a fun surprise! And now that it’s just a few days away from Christmas, and the whole country is snuggled under blankets and scarves hiding from the cold, it makes it even more fun to see their shorts and sandals and imagine what it’d be like to be on a warm vacation! So let yourself get transported to the warmth of Italy in the summer for just a few minutes, and take a look at a few of our favorites of Anna and Ryan. We dare you not to smile.
the GEAR USED for this SESSION…

The 17th January 2018, saw the launch event for two books providing a critical perspective on the recent history of home media distribution: Cult Media: Re-Packaged, Re-Released and Restored and DVD, Blu-Ray & Beyond: Navigating Formats and Platforms Within Media Consumption, both edited by Jonathan Wroot, Lecturer here at the University of Greenwich, and Andy Willis.
Meanwhile guest speaker Robert Price, Managing Director for 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment and Chairman of the British Association for Screen Entertainment (BASE) was there to give an insight into what the future might hold for the home entertainment market.
Here are three key points that stood out from his talk:
The popularity of the movies is not in decline.
One of Robert’s main points was that content is driven by customer demand, and the large number of content available proves that there has been a growth in cultural significance for movies. In the UK, “£4.1 billion is spent on watching films every year”, over “£77 per person”, and within this, the home entertainment market was worth “£2.7 billion in 2017” an increase of “7.5% from 2016”. It’s said that the average buyer spends £99 on home entertainment a year.
The growing importance of the foreign market was highlighted throughout the talk. “Fox now distributes to over 130 countries Worldwide”, and the global theatrical box office took in an insane, “£39.9bn”, up “3%” from 2016. Franchises are being propelled by the global market, with the Transformers films being “kept alive by the high numbers in the Chinese box-office”; it’s estimated that between 2016-2021, the Chinese movie market is expected to grow by “68.5%”.
Above all, the way we interact with movies on a social level is the driving force for commercial success. Robert stated that a past 21st Century Fox release, Deadpool (2016), was partly made due to the highly positive response that leaked test footage received online, spurring it into production. Along the same lines, he added that “movies create a constant stream of conversation and consumption”, with the recent release of the Avengers Infinity War trailer prompting “1.45 million conversations on social media” for a film that does not release until April.
It’s clear that digital has changed the way we consume content
The relationship between digital and film does not just end at the social level, but has also remodelled the way we consume entertainment. The power of Netflix, Amazon Prime and other streaming services has continued to rise in recent years, partly due to the fact that they operate via distribution methods that differ to the studio strategy of old. They don’t have to follow the standard 5-year release window, as all their content is made available on the service, giving them an edge on distribution. Having new content available instantly and constantly is a major incentive for customers. The combined number of paying subscribers (Netflix, Amazon and Now TV) for October 2017 is “10.8 million”, up from “9.5million” in October 2016.
Netflix’s original content is increasing more and more, but while this has led to “quality exclusives”, the overall library of third party content is considered by many to be “poor”, leading to the “number one reason people cancel Netflix” being that “they ran out of things they wanted to watch”. Studios, like Fox are pulling content from third-party streaming platforms (see link for more info: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/25/foxs-fx-could-pull-more-shows-off-of-netflix-amazon-and-onto-fx.html) so, since for the customers “content is still king”, Netflix have upped the number of their own productions.
It’s estimated that the annual video content budget for Netflix is “£4.4 billion”, with Amazon operating in a similar fashion with a “£3.3 billion” budget. These are not the only contenders, as Apple have begun to dip their toe in original content production, with it being said their current budget is “£0.7 billion – a figure that will surely rise. Netflix has changed from a streaming platform to a full-blown competitor for the major studios, and Robert added that he feels that “It’s almost inevitable that Netflix will soon be in every home.”
Home Entertainment has “powered the Hollywood economic model”, but this way of work is “under attack” from the rise of digital. 2017 marked the first time that digital sales overtook physical in the UK home entertainment market. We can attribute this shift to the fact that “there is new content everywhere“, with an “explosion” of devices creating “access ubiquity”. Movies are now watched on “36% of televisions”, but “89% of computers, 42% of games consoles and 58% of iPads”. The digital streaming market will only continue to rise ; in 2013, “digital subscriptions made up 7% of home entertainment sales.” In 2017, this figure is up to “32%”.
So Hollywood will have to change…
While change has been hard to receive, it is not proving detrimental to the market as a whole. Fox reported that digital has grown from “10%” of home entertainment revenue to “60%”, but the overall market has yet to suffer, with the UK’s filmed entertainment “£4.8billion” value in 2016, showing an increase from 2014’s figure of £3.8 billion”. The big studios aren’t retreating from increasingly powerful streaming services, but instead are welcoming the challenge.
With the Fox/Disney deal still fresh in the news, a lot of the discussion centered around the potential danger this could bring to the film industry, Robert was positive about the deal, and stated how it was “driven by scalability”. There is a need for “more content and more outlets of revenue”, and with that being said, the smaller avenues like “Fox Searchlight” should not be facing consequences as a result of the deal, and could perhaps even increase their output, as it provides Disney with a new audience.
(See link for more information on Disney’s plan for their streaming service: http://deadline.com/2018/02/disney-streaming-service-launch-slate-star-wars-marvel-1202281846/)
In fact Robert highlighted the potential danger of the “tent pole” release strategy, that tends to put too much focus on the blockbuster films, an example being that “The Last Jedi”( 2017), while successful made less money than previous release, “The Force Awakens” (2015). The point Robert kept returning to was the importance of delivering content that people want. Failure won’t come from piracy or streaming but from a lack of engagement with the consensus of the audience.

Safety Zone: Is Forklift Safety Something to Sing About?
Columnist, Gabriel Curry, sings an informational song detailing basic guidelines for forklift safety and proper operator training.
By Gabriel Curry
Date Posted: 10/1/2011
With apologies to the Beach Boys:
Well, he hopped into the forklift
and went cruisin’ through the whole parking lot now
Seems he forgot the ‘triangle of stability’ that he was taught now
He went up on two wheels around a turn; that’s when he was caught now But he had fun, fun, fun, till the boss man took his forklift awayayay.
I know, I know—you can’t decide whether to smile or shudder at my breezy depiction of a reckless forklift driver. Unlike many forklift incidents, at least my song has a happy ending.
I think it is also instructive how easily “forklift” can substitute for “T-Bird” in the song. I believe part of the inherent danger in lift truck equipment is that they resemble cars in deceptive ways that can lull an operator into inattention. It’s not unlike the guy who infrequently tows a trailer from his truck or SUV and completely forgets about the trailer he is towing until he looks in the mirror before changing lanes and is surprised to see it there. This kind of inattentive behavior can lead to serious accidents.
Rule no. 1 in operator training, therefore, is to emphasize the very important differences between a forklift and the other four-wheeled vehicles that the operator is accustomed to driving.
The law requires that lift truck operators be “certified” to operate the equipment and evaluated at least every three years. Certification has not been formalized like a CDL license; management may formulate their own certification program or make use of an outside expert as long as the minimum standards set forth in ANSI B56 are met. These include:
• Thorough understanding of the physics of stability, including the concepts of fulcrum point, center of gravity and the stability triangle
• Protocol for moving on ramps and sloped surfaces, uneven pavement, over train tracks, etc.
• Pedestrian safety, blind corners, etc
• Maintenance and daily inspection of equipment
• Understanding load rating labels and the dangers of unauthorized modifications to boom or forks
• Safe stacking of inventory
It is also up to management to formulate their own ways to designate their certified personnel. Larger operations may add a color code to ID badges to signify an authorized lift operator; smaller shops may simply post a sign in a conspicuous place listing the operators that are certified to use the equipment.
Evaluation of your certified operators is supposed to happen at least every three years. Any operator observed violating safety standards (or involved in an accident) should be subject to immediate evaluation and retraining. Even though the younger and less experienced on your staff are most at risk of accidents, many veteran operators who have been on the job for a decade or more never received theoretical training that OSHA now stipulates. It never hurts to augment that valuable experience with a little of the science behind load safety.
Your industrial supply house can aid you in fork truck safety with items like safety vests and bump caps for wherever forklifts and pedestrian traffic mingles, as well as parabolic mirrors to enable visibility around blind corners.
So, Let’s all have fun, fun, fun using forklifts in a responsible wayayay!

Away with the bling! The Bachelor winner Courtney Robertson removes engagement ring after splitting from fiancé Ben Flajnik
Less than a year after getting engaged on The Bachelor, Courtney Robertson and Ben Flajnik have finally called it quits.
The Clairol model was spotted without her engagement ring in Los Angeles on Sunday as she left home to work out.
But while the former couple has come forward saying it was a mutual break-up, Courtney’s dad, Rick Robertson, admits it was Ben's controlling personality that ultimately killed the relationship.
The brunette remains 'heartbroken', however, and hasn't stopped crying since the split.
Splitsville: Bachelor winner Courtney Robertson is seen without her ring after breaking up with Ben Flajnik
Rick says: 'Courtney and Ben started out great as a couple, but over time they’ve definitely grown apart.'
He explained: 'Courtney came to me and her mom a couple weeks ago to tell us it was over, but she’s still really upset, heartbroken and disappointed that things didn't work out with Ben.
'She hasn’t stopped crying since.'
Courtney and Ben called it quits after their nine-month relationship and televised engagement.
Leaving town? Courtney looked forlorn hiding beneath shades as she lugged a suitcase
The former couple revealed in a statement earlier this month the pressure of their very public relationship eventually became too much to bear.
End of the road: Courtney removed her ring
In an joint statement to In Touch magazine, the pair said: 'After meeting over a year ago, we have decided to end our romantic relationship.
'The ups and downs weighed heavily on
us both and ultimately we started to grow apart because of the
distance, time apart, and our need to focus on our respective careers.'
But Courtney's dad says in spite of her attempts to move on, his daughter is gutted.
'They were making wedding plans, had a date set for next year and Courtney had her wedding dress all picked out,' he said.
'But in the last few months Courtney has really seen Ben’s true colours and realized their personalities and lifestyles just don’t match up together.
'My wife always said Ben wasn’t "The One" and warned Courtney that Ben was trying to control her by pressuring her to quit her modeling career and move to San Francisco, which sent up red flags early on in the relationship.
Split: Bachelor couple Ben Flajnik and Courtney ended their relationship after nine months
'With Ben’s wine business in San Francisco and Courtney’s modeling career in Santa Monica neither of them were willing to give up their lives for each other.
'To be honest I’ve never seen two people more in love and I was looking forward to welcoming Ben as my son-in-law, but unfortunately his pressures on Courtney to relocate took its toll.
'I don’t know if finding love on The Bachelor was the right thing for Courtney, but if nothing else it was a romance to remember.'

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott faced off with his Democratic challenger, Beto O'Rourke, on Friday in their only scheduled debate, with the midterm elections rapidly approaching.
Though Abbott maintains a 7-point lead in the current polls, according to CBS News, this is likely to be among the closest races that the governor has had — he won re-election in 2014 and 2018 by 20 points and 13 points, respectively.
The two candidates sparred over a number of issues, with gun control taking center stage following the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, this past May that left 19 children dead. Abbott has been heavily criticized in the months following the shooting, with many saying that he has not done enough to enact reasonable gun control to try and quell the violence.
O'Rourke seemed to agree.
"It's been 18 weeks since their kids have been killed, and not a thing has changed in this state to make it any less likely that any other child will meet the same fate," he said. "All we need is action, and the only person standing in our way is the governor of the state of Texas."
Abbott, though, dismissed claims of his inaction, saying that he was "misled" by "everyone in that room that provided me with the information about what law enforcement did." The governor added that local law enforcement needed to be held accountable for their failure to respond to the shooter.
The debate marked the first time that the men had talked in person since O'Rourke confronted Abbott at a press conference following the shooting, accusing him of being complicit in the deaths of the children.
Beyond gun control, the pair also argued over a number of hot-button issues currently facing Texans. This includes the topic of abortion, where the striking down of Roe V. Wade (1973) has opened the door for states to pass restrictive abortion laws, as well as immigration policy, where the candidates divulged over the issue of Abbott having sent migrants to New York City.
Notably, the debate was held with no live audience, which, according to The New York Times, came at the request of Abbott.

Diane Leddy had spent many decades working as a speech pathologist. But when her heart simply wasn’t in the work anymore, she knew it was time to move on. After contemplating what it was she wanted to do with her second act, she listened to her intuition, followed her passion and became a nutritionist. Today she runs Bessentially Green from her home in Florida, which helps individuals live healthier and more eco-friendly lifestyles.
Leddy’s story, as told to The Story Exchange 1,000+ Stories Project:
I wanted to fulfil this passion of supporting others who were ready to make positive healthy life changes but weren’t sure how and where to start. I never felt that I wanted to convince people to make changes in their lives. I always felt that my mission was to support and help those that were ready to receive! I’m building a business that will help women (specifically over 50) create a healthy and vibrant life. Building this on social media and also with an upcoming podcast that will target the RV community (many of whom are retired) on how to create a healthy and vibrant life while living on the road.
For me I just knew it was time to leave my 37 year career as a speech pathologist as I was no longer aligning with the industry, school systems and agency politics. I was no longer willing to be a part of the “dog and pony” show. And I do not believe we should continue in jobs that do not resonate with us just to get pensions and retirement benefits. Who are we hurting but ourselves?? I tell people to listen to their inner voice. Mine told me it was time to go and fulfil a passion of teaching wellness on a global level! It was time to feel the fear and do it any way. Come out of your comfort zone and live the life that you deserve!!
Feeling passionate about what you do is success. Ending each day knowing that you are in your joy and that you can be an inspiration to others! Knowing that what you teach and what you do can help others make the changes they want is success. I’m a natural teacher with words, both spoken and in written form. I did not see that in myself when I was younger. Through written material and speaking engagements I have developed a tribe of people that can resonate with my energy! My biggest success to date is being open to receive myself. Not attaching money to every outcome and letting my passion lead the way.
My top challenge was in strategy and I started to invest in myself by hiring a business strategist to help me. I have no problem outsourcing with things that are not in my lane. I also knew it was time to invest in myself! Because I am in my second act in this life, I am looking to be joy filled most of all. Am I looking to work 50 hour a week to make millions? No I’m not. I want to do what brings me joy so I plan to travel, do my podcast show while on the road, teach cooking classes along the way to foster a sense of gathering of community, write books, sell personalized eco friendly merchandise and create programs that can help people on their journey to wellness!
My role model is the author Jen Sincero who writes the Badass book series. It reminds me that I am empowered to do anything I want to do!

HAVANA — For any self-employed entrepreneur (SE) in Cuba today, anything involving financing, supplies and taxes is a major headache.
The restrictions on access to loans, the absence of a wholesale market, the ban on operating as small or medium-sized businesses (known as PYMES), the nonexistence of licenses to engage in high-value professional activities, the prohibition against importing supplies and technologies, and poor access to information, these and many other limitations hinder SE’s activities.
In addition, the country’s lifestyle, often ignorant of international practices, leads many of these entrepreneurs (and I’m not talking only about coffee shops and taxi drivers) to concentrate on activities that may seem novel, but only because of the distortion created by so many years of economic blockade by the United States, the nearest economic power.
Since self-employment was authorized anew in 1993 on an island where economic activities had been mostly state-run since the triumph of the Revolution in 1959, it became evident that self-employment was a temporary measure to alleviate the crisis of the 1990s, not to become part of the nation’s economic concert.
“The conditions of the Current Special Period determine the need for an expansion of self-employed entrepreneurship,” said Law-Decree No. 141 in 1993.
In the same document, a Joint Resolution set up clear boundaries. Excluded from this activity were government officials and university professionals; authorized were workers in labor centers, retirees, men and women with diminished work capacity, “surplus workers” subsidized because of layoffs or shutdown of state jobs, and housewives.
The “surplus workers,” as they were called, or subsidized workers who engaged in self-employed entrepreneurship would not be exonerated from their obligations to the state center to which they were linked, in the event that the nation’s conditions demanded a call-back.
The state also could restrict self-employed entrepreneurship in regions where state-hired workers were scarce and more necessary; those workers would not be allowed to abandon their work centers. Today, professionals can be SEs but only in approved activities, not in their area of expertise.
Salaried workers could not be hired. And the worker, before engaging in private work, had to demonstrate he was a faithful state worker. None of this is required today.
SEs were allowed to sell products or services directly to the population but not to state-run entities, something that later was approved. The state would use its discretion when allowing private work in some areas and reserved for itself the right to intervene in the commercialization process, depending on public and social convenience.
The state wanted “to avoid at all costs the emergence of intermediaries or parasites who would profit and enrich themselves with other people’s efforts.”
At that time, the minimum monthly fees that the SEs had to pay could be raised by the municipal councils in the event that “excessive gains” were produced. That rule remains in effect today.
After the successive updates of these rules and regulations, and in a context completely different from the Special Period (except for certain types of shortages that have been dealt with in various ways), it becomes clear that the political model chosen by the Cuban government does not conceive the concentration of capital, something that will always be linked to private enterprise. Yet, that situation is already happening in this country.
It is also clear that — in the face of a new and increasingly more evident economic crisis — Cuba is pushed once again to update its economic model and make room for self-employed entrepreneurs, this time with less hindrance but still with a low ceiling.
The formula that allowed “surplus workers” (now “available workers”) or workers “subsidized” because of the shutdown of their activities (now “interrupted workers”) to engage in self-employed entrepreneurship, is being restated.
This time, the surplus workers numbered 1 million and, “in order to guarantee the rational employment of the labor force and to strengthen the role of the salary and its relationship with the results of the labor,” their work treatment was published in 2011 in the Official Gazette. The Gazette also published the update on the new policy affecting the SEs.
Of the four options that the government gave those workers, only one involved the state sector, so the “availables” were invited to join the ranks of the SEs.
However, life demonstrated that access to self-employed entrepreneurship did not “absorb” that idle labor force as expected. Rather, it removed from illegality or at-home idleness many people who had no previous labor links, according to Prensa Latina. Now they account for 68 percent of those who engage in private business.
After 274 Guidelines, an update of the model that deals directly with PYMES, 201 activities approved for self-employed entrepreneurship (as updated in 2013), and after President Raúl Castro said in 2016 that we should drop the euphemisms and speak clearly about private businesses (small, medium and micro), the self-employed entrepreneurs remain at a disadvantage, now faced by the evermore likely competition from foreign investors.
Let’s look at the laws that set out the rules for everyone involved.
As to the area of operation, the SEs must be limited to activities that are mostly of very low economic value added (EVA). Let’s face it: toilet attendants, shoe menders, or telecommunications clerks are not going to raise the nation’s GDP from the red. Not even the finest private restaurants could do that.
On the other hand, the latest Foreign Investment Opportunities Portfolio lists as “priority sectors … agriculture production and the food industry; tourism, including health tourism; the development of sources of energy, especially renewable energy; the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons and mineral resources; and the construction or improvement of industrial infrastructures.” All these are key areas for the country’s economic development.
A foreign investor will find in Cuba an environment that may not be totally favorable for doing business but that includes a tax policy that is more relaxed than the one affecting private businessmen. The foreign investor is exempt from paying taxes on gains for 8 years; if he invests in the Mariel Development Zone, the exemption lasts 10 years.
Private businessmen are exempt from taxation (sales taxes, taxes on products and services, utilization of the labor force and personal income) only for the first three months.
The Foreign Investment Law does not mention maximum amounts or limits on the growth of businesses. But all those issues limit the development of PYMES and non-agricultural cooperatives, thus hampering the “Made in Cuba” factor and leaving us at the mercy of foreign capital.

Forex Signals US Session Brief, January 15 – This Market Is Not Normal, Trade Carefully
Skerdian Meta • 3 min read
The financial markets today don’t seem to be working as they usually do. They have behaving strange for quite some time, but today they look to be out of sync, hence the low number of forex signals. There is no economic data today and the US is off, so liquidity is thin. Perhaps this has made things worse today.
Financial markets are behaving strangely today
Forex and Bonds Have Lost the Correlation
All financial markets are connected in a way or another. The forex market and the bond market are connected through cash flows. For instance, when the US bond market surges, USD/JPY goes up too.
The idea behind this move is that the cash flows into the USD and out of the JPY when US bonds rally. Investors want higher returns, so they switch to US bonds when the yields go higher.
Today though, the US Dollar and the US bonds are moving in different directions. The Buck is falling off a cliff and there’s no real reason behind this move, it’s just the market sentiment. The yields for the 10 year US bonds are going up at the same time. I’m sure they will correlate again soon, but this shows that the markets are not trading correctly today.
By the way, the decline in the US Dollar seems to have stopped right now. This constant USD selloff has taken most major forex pairs to some interested levels and we just took a long term forex signal in AUD/USD. Although, we will post another forex update about it shortly after this US session brief.
The Chinese Don’t Like Cryptocurrecnies
Last week, the South Korean lawmakers ruled against cryptocurrency trading. They decided to ban crypto trading in Korean exchanges. That sent the cryptocurrency market tumbling for a while, but it didn’t last. Not that altcoins have resumed the uptrend, but at least they aren’t declining any more.
The Chinese are following the same path as their smaller but richer neighbours. They want to top the access to cryptocurrency trading by targeting companies and individuals that provide this service. We don’t know how successful they will be, but that shouldn’t be a good thing for altcoins.
But, there’s no reaction in this new financial market today. Last week, when the Koreans announced the same thing, Bitcoin lost about $2,000. Today, Bitcoin is higher if anything.
That said, the move higher seems too weak so far. So, we’re not going down and we’re not moving higher either. It seems as the crypto market is just trading sideways before the next move. Taking the history into consideration, the chances are that the next move will be up, although we don’t know when that will come.
Bitcoin is trying to climb today but the moving averages loom above
Trades in Sight
- The uptrend is bullish
- The upside has gained further momentum today
- The 1.22 level will surely provide some support
- The 20 SMA is standing right at 1.22
1.22 looks like a great place to go long from
The price got close to 1.23 today but reversed back down just three pips short of that level. The uptrend has gained further pace today while the USD is still under heavy selling pressure. So, our bias for this pair is long and we plan to open a buy forex signal at 1.22 in EUR/USD.
The cash flows and the market sentiment are moving financial markets today. Most of these moves don’t make much sense, so we are trying to be careful with forex signals. Although, we will get long on EUR/USD and probably on the commodity Dollars, as soon as this retrace is over. Get ready for more forex signals today.

12 Metre World Championship:
Lead Changes in Three Divisions on Day Two
NEWPORT, R.I. (July 10, 2019) – Last night at Gurney’s Marina and Resort, 400 hundred sailors representing six countries, joined sponsors and race organizers at the elegantly-staged Welcome Reception for the12 Metre World Championship hosted by Ida Lewis Yacht Club and organized by the International Twelve Metre Association’s (ITMA) Americas Fleet. Today, the same sailors took to the waters of Rhode Island Sound for their second day of racing in a five-day, nine race series that has the eyes of all the sailing world trained upon it.
A postponement on the water pushed a scheduled 11 a.m. start back to 1:15, but it was worth the wait when a barely-there breeze picked up to 8-12 knots. Each of five divisions sailed two races to add to their two-race score line from yesterday, and new leaders emerged in three divisions.
In Vintage Division, Nyala (US-12), the second of two Italian teams fielded by Luna Rossa Syndicate head Patrizio Bertelli (the other isKookaburra II (KA-12) in Grand Prix Division), replaced Onawa (US-6) at the top of the scoreboard by posting two bullets in each of the twice-around windward/leeward races. Skippered by Mauro Pelaschier, Nyala won last weekend’s 12 Metre Pre-Worlds.
In Modern Division, Challenge XII (KA-10), skippered by Jack LeFort of Jamestown, R.I., also won both races to finish ahead of yesterday’s leader Courageous (US-26) in cumulative standings, while in Traditional Division Columbia (US-16), helmed by owner Kevin Hegarty of Newport, R.I. and skippered by Anthony Chiurco of Princeton, N.J. finished with a slim lead over American Eagle(US-21); only one point separates them going into tomorrow’s racing.
“It’s the closest racing we’ve had in a long time,” said Hegarty. “In the first race we edged out American Eagle by only one boat length at the finish.” Hegarty was project manager for a refit on Columbia in 2001, then served as captain of her for six years before he bought her because he loved her so much. “I consider myself not so much her owner as her caretaker,” he said. “She’ll be around a lot longer than me. I’ve been sailing in Newport a long time and I’ve never seen anything like what was out there today; I wish I was on a spectator boat to see the beauty of these boats all together.”
Legacy (KZ-5), helmed by Thomas Andersen with fellow Dane Jesper Bank serving as tactician, continued to dominate today and has a perfect score line going into tomorrow, but with five races to go, second-place New Zealand (KZ-3) has a chance to catch her.
In 12 Metre Spirit Division, America II (US-46), skippered by Michael Fortenbaugh of Jersey City, N.J. remains the leader over its single opponent America II (US-42). Both boats are from the New York Harbor Sailing Foundation, also based in Jersey City, and are raced by members of the Manhattan Sailing Club.
“We’re just amateurs,” said Fortenbaugh, “and we thought it would be better for everybody if we could match race, so we wouldn’t interfere with anyone. We consider ourselves as good guests.”
Fortenbaugh also reflected on the significance of the fleet that sailed today. “The reason we acquired these boats is because we think this class is the most important class in American yachting history, and we want to preserve these boats for the next generation.”

Former Editors of the Dictionary of National Biography
The original Dictionary of National Biography was published between 1885 and 1900 in alphabetical order in 63 quarterly volumes. The Dictionary’s founding editor was Sir Leslie Stephen (1832-1904), the intellectual historian and literary critic, who is also remembered as the father of the writer Virginia Woolf and the artist Vanessa Bell. He was succeeded in 1891 by the Shakespeare scholar, Sir Sidney Lee (1859-1926), who brought the DNB to completion in 1900 and also edited the DNB’s three supplement volumes in 1901.
In 1992 Oxford University Press and the History Faculty, University of Oxford, began a 12-year project to rewrite and expand of the original Victorian edition and its twentieth-century supplements. The founding editor of what became the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (published in 2004 in 60 vols., and online) was Professor Colin Matthew FBA (1941-1999), editor of the diaries of William Gladstone and Professor of History at Oxford University. Following Colin’s death in 1999, the Oxford DNB was brought to completion in 2004 under the editorship of the modern historian Professor Sir Brian Harrison FBA, also of Oxford University.
Since 2004 the Oxford DNB has been edited by Dr Lawrence Goldman, fellow and tutor in modern history at St Peter’s College, Oxford. Lawrence has overseen a programme of regular updates to the ODNB’s online edition which has added biographies of a further 4300 men and women to the 54,992 biographies available in 2004.
What is the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography ?
The Oxford DNB is the national record of men and women who have shaped British history and culture, worldwide, from the Romans to the year 2010. The Dictionary is a research project of the Faculty of History, University of Oxford, and is published and funded by Oxford University Press. It was first published online (www.oxforddnb.com) and in 60 print volumes in September 2004. Since 2005 the Oxford DNB online has been extended in 3 annual updates, published in January, May, and September of each year. The ODNB currently includes biographies of 59,221 individuals. No living person is included.
The Oxford DNB has been written by 11,000 specialist authors, worldwide, co-ordinated by a team of academic historians at Oxford University. The Dictionary also includes 11,200 portraits, researched in partnership with the National Portrait Gallery, London. A national institution founded in the late Victorian period, the modern Oxford DNB is thought to be the world’s largest collaborative research project in the humanities.
Since April 2006 the complete Oxford DNB has been available to 48 million residents in England and to all residents of Northern Ireland via their public libraries. There is further extensive public library access in other parts of the United Kingdom and worldwide. Remote log-ins allow library readers to consult the online Oxford DNB from home, or from anywhere.

Teacher, student share leap year birthdays
Published 12:20 pm Tuesday, February 28, 2012
Perhaps the rarest birthday of all to have is the one that comes once every four years, on Feb. 29.
Wednesday is a leap day, an extra day that is added to the month of February, making it 29 days long instead of 28 days. This usually only happens every four years.
Several local people share the Feb. 29 birthday — among them are John Johnson Elementary School music teacher Mrs. JoAnn Moore and second-grade student Shelby Harper.
If leap year babies only got to count their Feb. 29 birthdays , Moore would be celebrating her eighth birthday Wednesday. She said some of her students got a good laugh out of that fact, when her birthday was announced over the school’s intercom this week. When she was a child, Moore’s mother always let her choose which day — either Feb. 28 or March 1 — to celebrate her birthday in non-leap years.
Shelby, the daughter of Ridge and Jenny Harper, said she has already had her birthday party this year, but was looking forward to celebrating with her family on Wednesday, when she marks her “second” leap year birthday. She said she thinks it’s neat to share a special Feb. 29 birthday with one of her teachers.
Amy Bush McKown, formerly of Bainbridge, now of Clewiston, Fla., is celebrating her 10th leap year birthday this week. McKown formerly worked at The Post-Searchlight and is married to Steve McKown, the city manager of Clewiston.
With help from some of our readers, we learned that some of the other Bainbridge natives and residents whose birthday falls on Feb. 29 include: Cara Bono Mitchell, Rita Key Phillips, formerly of Bainbridge, now of Colquitt; and Tommy Howard Sr., who is celebrating his 80th birthday.
What is a leap year?
A leap year, which has an extra day at the end of February, happens because the Gregorian calendar system in use in most of the world is based on the length of time it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun, which is approximately 364.25 days. To ensure that certain dates, such as Easter, fall on the calendar around the same time every year, one whole day has to be added every four years.
Leap years have occurred since the Roman Catholic Church first recommended the use of the Gregorian calendar in 1582. That system states that a Leap Day is added to the calendar every fourth year, using the Year 0 as a starting point. However, a Leap Day is not observed every 100th year, except for every 400th year, when it is. So 1800 and 1900 were not leap years, but 2000 was one.

In the event you’re conversant in most video games, likelihood is you’ve discovered your self enjoying one which belongs to a longtime sequence you’re not overly acquainted with. That’s a matter of concern for the upcoming launch of A Plague Story: Requiem on October 18, which expands the sequence three years after its prequel, Innocence, began all of it. New and current gamers alike is perhaps questioning how Requiem defines itself in relation to Innocence. As we speak, I’m happy to shed some gentle on the topic.
Gamers can get pleasure from Requiem with out having skilled the occasions of Innocence; that’s one thing we’ve labored laborious on. Requiem is within the continuity of Innocence, resuming the story current gamers are conversant in. However we’ve been dedicated to creating a sport that’s accessible to an viewers who is totally new to the sequence. Requiem is one more expertise rooted in Innocence, with loads of novelties together with its next-gen expertise. It might be an actual disgrace to not welcome new gamers to affix in.
Welcoming a brand new viewers
The thought was to introduce each character and provides them life within the current, guiding gamers to fulfill these characters, attending to know who’s who, and the way they’re associated. After all, there’s no formal introduction of Amicia, Hugo, Lucas, or Beatrice. It occurs organically. We merely guarantee that the opening sequences have all the weather wanted to grasp the present dynamics. For example, you’ll decide up on the truth that Lucas is Beatrice’s apprentice simply from their interplay.
A posh lore to current
Probably the most difficult half to introduce to a brand new viewers has been the lore — it complexity unfolds in Innocence, with mystical, nearly esoteric components which aren’t straightforward to know. You’ll be able to’t simply export every little thing from one sport to a different. So, it’s been fairly a problem to seek out how to ensure new gamers wouldn’t get fully misplaced. Specifically, the Macula (the illness which impacts Hugo) and its penalties, wanted to be clear.
Welcoming acquainted gamers again
There was a danger these changes might affect the expertise of acquainted gamers negatively, and that’s another of the challenges we confronted. As I discussed, we made certain to not fall into something formal with regards to re-introducing important components. This prevents a sense of repetition for acquainted gamers, who will benefit from the alternative to reconnect with the characters and the world with out being thrown again in on the deep finish.
Similar world, new dynamics
Between these two audiences, we’ve always appeared for the precise steadiness, with the aim to create one thing natural and supply a radically new expertise. That’s our approach of together with acquainted gamers: giving them extra of the identical universe with out having to repeat the identical factor they’ve already accomplished.
Take the rats as an illustration, they’re nonetheless a central aspect of the sport. They return in Requiem and acquainted gamers will probably be anticipating them. But it surely should nonetheless be thrilling. So, they’ll make their entrance at a particular time, and in particular circumstances, which gained’t repeat how they’re dealt with in Innocence and that’s one thing we’ve thought lengthy and laborious about! This has been a tenet all through the whole manufacturing.
A contemporary begin
Except for renewing current components, A Plague Story: Requiem brings fully new components. On the entire scale of the sport, there’s a radically totally different dynamic. Within the first sport, Amicia and Hugo’s journey was set regionally, within the area of their family, and their driving power was to run away from the Inquisition. Requiem is a journey, with the invention of Provence, a area full of recent potentialities, together with the hunt for a prophesied island. It permits us to introduce new characters with new personalities and to create dynamics which didn’t exist in Innocence.
Amicia and Hugo are not recognized to the native inhabitants. They’ll need to face its hostility or settle for their assist. So, there’s a change of setting which impacts the story in a approach that each refreshes the Plague Story expertise and makes it pleasant for newcomers to the second sport.
Amicia and Hugo’s quest can also be an inside journey, a battle to survive the traumatic occasions they confronted in Innocence. That makes it a narrative the place previous and current come collectively to type a constant entire, the place the previous echoes however doesn’t paralyse — that goes for our heroes and for our gamers alike!

NEWS: I will be starting as an Assistant Professor in the School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems at Northern Arizona University in January 2018. I will be recruiting graduate students this Fall.
My research lies at the intersection of community and disease ecology. I apply a variety of mathematical, statistical and empirical methods to discover the ecological and epidemiological drivers of host-pathogen community composition, with the ultimate goal of informing infectious disease dynamics.
I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher with Cherie Briggs and other collaborators. Similar to my previous postdoc (see below), we are developing computational methods to fit mechanistic, ecological models to relevant experimental and field data. In this case, we are interested in understanding how infection with a fungal pathogen (Bd) can alter the ecological interactions between co-habitating microbes on amphibian skin. By fitting dynamical models to such data, we can better understand community stability and make forward projections of population and community dynamics in the system, which may improve the use of probiotic treatments against Bd infection.
I recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago, working with Greg Dwyer and our US Forest Service collaborator, Karl Polivka. We were studying the epizootic dynamics of Douglas-fir tussock moth baculoviruses in the Pacific Northwest. Our aim was to integrate experiments and mechanistic modeling approaches to develop insights for a USFS microbial control program and to generally gain a deeper understanding of the biology in this host-pathogen system. This project neatly demonstrates how mathematical epidemiology can inform a practical problem: biological pest control. You can read about this project - more informally - at this blog and this blog. The results from this project are forthcoming.
Before coming to Greg’s lab, I received my PhD in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology from the University of Colorado-Boulder, where I worked with Piet Johnson. For my dissertation, I studied how host and pathogen diversity affect transmission dynamics using theory and an amphibian-virus system of conservation concern. In an effort to understand broader scale patterns of pathogen diversity, I also applied the metacommunity framework to host-symbiont systems, which I continue to develop with theory and empirical approaches. You can read more about my research here.
In addition to basic research, I am also interested in creating outreach and teaching materials related to biology and, in particular, statistics and other quantitative methods. I am a proponent of strong data management, reproducible analysis, and unbiased visualization, and I am developing curricula to teach these useful skills to young biologists. You can see some sample material on my Blog.

“There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold
And she’s buying a stairway to heaven”
If you read my first article you will have some background to this article (along with a number of side musings). My last post promised to delve a little more deeply into my experiences and observations around transforming from waterfall to Agile. This is that article.
One of the things that has crossed my mind more than once is, if agile transformation is the answer, what was the question? I’ve asked a number of people this and I’m not sure I’ve ever got a convincing answer. I’ve got a lot of “dunno”. I ask this question, “what problem are we solving”, quite a bit when someone presents a solution I’ve not been involved in. It’s not my invention, I’m not the first to use it, but seriously, it creates some puzzled looks at times. Those are the times where you realise someone has probably developed a solution based on their needs, possibly solving something that is not a problem for anyone else, possibly creating new roadblocks for other people. As I write this the phrase “best practice” pops in to my head. Left field sarcasm?
My first observation, if you don’t understand the problems presented by your current development approach then you can’t know if changing will help. Understand the questions that Agile must answer before engaging in the first step of transformation. Spend some time finding out if Agile is even capable of giving the required answers.
I remember in a meeting, early in the transformation, mentioning that it was highly likely not everybody was up for the transformation. How did I know this? Reading up on others that had gone through the transformation, I’d been involved in other companies that had undergone significant change (although not involving agile), I’ve spent some time studying people – as part of my undergraduate learning as a teacher (a long time ago) and some other courses since, and of course just getting to understand the people I worked with. I distinctly remember an uncomfortable feeling coming over the meeting, some muttering, a weak attempt to acknowledge I’d said something, and then, moving on.
Observation number 2. There can be (more than likely will be) significant levels of resistance and denial. This can be a damaging force. The transformation is challenging, people actively resisting just encourage others to stick with old habits rather than developing new ones. Be prepared and get people prepared early. Make it as gentle and gradual as you can. Stage the rollout so you can embed lessons learned and use success stories to generate enthusiasm about the change. You won’t kill all resistance but you can manage (encourage) it down.
“There’s a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings”.
Tremendous opportunities will be presented. I expect that this will be true regardless of the level of agile coaching your company invests in. Commit to learning about agile, scrum, testing in general (if you are not already investing in this). Upscale your own education. Just doing this will place you above many others who will be part of the journey but only as a passenger. You will create opportunities for yourself, don’t waste them.
Not everyone is going to be OK with the transformation or even with the notion of having to change to agile. Learn to live with this. Bring them along as much as you can, use all their strengths. If they don’t want to fully participate in the agile ceremonies, don’t force it. Accept what they give, over time, with some successes on the board, they may slowly change. Success is a powerful force. There might also be a bit of “background politics” noise. Ignore this, focus on your team and yourself. Focus on what you can control.
It’s All In Your Mindset –
“Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder”
Having people sitting in the same location does not make them a team. Calling the team agile does not make them so. It’s not difficult to put people together in a scrum team and have them operate in silos. I’ve seen it happen. When people lack direction, are confused by the changes, feel stress because of change, they go back to what is comfortable, what they knew before. You need to ensure there is support for the team, people who can help the team find direction and start using agile practices. This doesn’t have to be an external coach, it can be someone with good previous exposure to, experience in, (in this case) scrum.
Many people who have worked in waterfall have had some real horrible experiences with change. The churn and overload requirements changes can create can border on overwhelming. There is a mindset change required here. Change is a good thing, welcome it. The teams need to realise that change is, or should be, far more controllable within an agile setting and it helps to prevent spending lots of effort on developing something that does not solve the clients problem . Learn to understand, as a team, what is valuable to the client and what is the most valuable thing you can do to help deliver that value.
“Team think” is an important part of the transition. Give people a complex problem and empower (expect) them to find solutions. They are not my words but they resonate with importance. This is such a different approach to the usual waterfall method of development. I’ve been in a number of situations where, as a team, a problem has been solved quickly and produced a high value solution that was the result of using all the experience and abilities in the team. A team is comprised of capable people with different skill sets, different strengths and weaknesses. This is powerful stuff, use it. Personally I’m a fan of the “3 Amigos” approach and encourage this in any team I work in.
I think it is important for people to understand that a person in a silo isn’t the point of failure, finger pointing has no place (it didn’t in a waterfall environment either). If a project fails, the team fails,. not a person in the team but the team. Everyone in the team must own the project, own the decision making, own the commitment to quality. I’m tired of being told “if everyone owns it no one owns it”. That’s garbage and old world thinking. If everyone owns it, is accountable for it, then everyone owns it. If that is not happening then work out why and address (inspect and adapt).
“And it’s whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter.”
I had intended to cover my thoughts on transformation in a single article, but, I’m not convinced that is a value proposition for my stakeholders. I’m not a fan of massively long articles so I want to avoid doing the same myself (although massively long is soooo context based I might not even be close to that point yet for many). To make things a little easier I’m going to add another article covering other aspects such as agile ceremonies and other processes.

The latest EP from Lord Huron is titled Mighty, and the lead track from it has been given the video treatment in the clip below. This is a frantic piece of indie-rock, strung up somewhere between the rapidity of Vampire Weekend and the more considered charms of Panda Bear and El Guincho. The video looks like another found footage compilation combining scenes of nature and retro animation—yup, clips that look like that really haven’t gone away yet. Check out Mighty via Lord Huron’s Bandcamp page.

Let’s jump right on in.
Now that it appears the Herman Cain sexual harassment scandal may have legs, supporters of his campaign are gathering up strength and taking to the internets to blast the press and Cain’s accusers.
No surprise there.
But one group of Cain supporters have created a new ad that accuses those investigating Cain, reporting on the investigation of Cain, and discussing the reporting of the investigation of Cain of participating in…wait for it…a high tech lynching.
That phrase, “high tech lynching”, was made infamous by a certain Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas when he was accused of sexual harassment during his confirmation hearing.
Thomas was eventually confirmed and has gone pretty much mute while on the bench.
And ‘tis his eventual confirmation that always made my Afro hurt when pondering his use of the phrase “high tech lynching”.
Nothing screams that a person or organization lacks a proper knowledge of a thing like an inaccurate analogy.
If you are able to protest your treatment during a confirmation hearing…and later in a book…then you were not the victim of a lynching, high tech or real world.
If you are fundraising up a storm in the midst of accusations that you sexually harassed more than one woman…then you are not in the midst of a high tech lynching.
If your website is still “living”…if your campaign has not been wiped clean from and effectively killed off online…then you have not been subject to a high tech lynching.
Unless…unless these Cain supporters feel that the Cain campaign is in the final throes of political death and that it’s demise if certain…only then would the phrase “high tech lynching” apply.
Lynchings are murders…endings, for the love of history...they brought about and indeed still bring about the end of life.
I don’t care how much a body adores Herman Cain and I don’t give a shit how upset they are about his treatment in the press, this inaccurate analogy corrupts a history that has never truly been acknowledged.
Herman Cain clearly weathered the storm of more than one accusation of sexual harassment several years ago…his employer settled rather than fire him…he then went on to run for the GOP nomination for President, where he faces questions about those accusations. For the most part, the firestorm has resulted from his campaigns fucked up from the floor up handling of those questions. Either way, Herman Cain will be here once the dust settles. Odds are he’ll even be online in some form or another. He may even be the GOP nominee.
This shit is in no way, shape, or form the equivalent of a lynching.
A witch-hunt perhaps…depends on how you view the situation.
But I sure as shit don’t see any digital strange fruit hanging from cyber trees…
…anymore than I see that shit when I ponder the fact that the original “victim” of a high tech lynching is still enjoying life as a Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

Summertime is primetime for greenhouse growers: vegetables are getting ripe, plants are growing quickly, and everyone's mind is on the harvest just a few months away. Now, more than almost any other time of year, it’s important to maintain peak conditions in your greenhouse - and that means keeping a close watch on heat and humidity.
But with large fluctuations in temperature between the high heat of the afternoon and the cool, dark nights, keeping your humidity levels in check can be a bit of a challenge. Here’s a look at some of the major factors contributing to high humidity in the summertime, and how you can make sure your greenhouse maintains the ideal levels throughout the warm season.
Why Humidity Levels Change With The Summer Season
If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable on those hot, humid, sticky summer days, you know just how much humidity can spike during the summer’s hottest months. Chances are, your plants feel that pressure too - and in some cases, that can really hinder their productivity.
Rising heat levels will cause some plants to perspire and water to evaporate - much in the same way we humans sweat in response to raised body heat. This perspiration will then evaporate into the air, raising humidity levels. In addition, hot air actually holds onto more humidity than cold air. This means that summer is naturally more humid than winter.
Let’s be clear - humidity itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, keeping humidity high can actually help prevent overheating among your plants. This process, called “dampening down,” regulates high temperatures by introducing water into the greenhouse, which absorbs heat before evaporating and exiting the greenhouse. This can be good for heat-sensitive plants like tomatoes and cucumbers, which can quickly suffer as a result of overheating.
But importantly, too much humidity can be an open invitation for mold, fungi and botrytis - among other diseases and bacteria - to take hold on your plants, since these generally require relatively high moisture levels to survive. Let humidity build up to too high a level in your greenhouse and you may just end up cultivating a big batch of mold.
Tips For Raising Humidity Levels In Summer
As evidenced by the “dampening down” process, higher humidity can actually protect some plants from heat stress and other effects of high heat levels. For this reason, it may be beneficial for growers - especially those located in hot, dry areas of the country - to actively try and keep humidity at a slightly higher level than the outside air might naturally allow.
One simple method for introducing more moisture into your greenhouse is to spray water onto your structure’s flat surfaces early in the morning, allowing this water to evaporate throughout the day. This will safely and slowly raise humidity level in your greenhouse using the sun’s natural forces.
For those needing a little more water power, consider spray or drip irrigation system to deliver moisture efficiently when needed - a little pick-me-up for when the air gets a little too dry, which can be hooked up to your automated environmental controls for simple hands-free operation.
Similarly, growers can stop heat in its tracks by installing a greenhouse shade covering, or by utilizing a solar diffusing polycarbonate covering on your greenhouse walls and ceilings to redirect harsh sunlight and slow evaporation.
Tips For Reducing Humidity Levels In Summer
The major challenge for growers working to keep their greenhouse conditions ideal in the summertime generally isn’t increasing humidity, but reducing it - especially on those hot, humid days where there is so much moisture in the air already that the threat of mold is just too high.
In these cases, there are plenty of smart ways to mitigate rising humidity and keep your greenhouse at the right moisture level for your specific plants. For instance: work on watering plants early enough in day to allow their leaves and surfaces to dry completely before the cool evening comes. That way, you will minimize the amount of standing water available in your greenhouse during the night.
It’s also important to allow for adequate air movement throughout your greenhouse, which will help push warm, moist air away from your plants and out into the open air. Also ensure that your greenhouse floor drains well and does not allow water to pool, which can easily evaporate and add to your humidity problem. For this reason, you may also want to consider utilizing a steep enough roof pitch (or anti-drip poly) to prevent condensation from gathering and dripping onto plants from above.
Finally - and although it’s already a good practice for growers - it’s extra important to keep the ground inside of your greenhouses well weeded, since weeds can hold on to water and even perspire and release that moisture back into the air if left undisturbed in the hot sun.
Not Too Humid, Not Too Dry - Keeping Your Humidity Levels Just Right
Growing in a greenhouse offers major benefits over growing in the open air - namely, more efficient environmental, temperature, humidity, and light controls to keep your grow going strong not just through summer, but all year long. But for those unfamiliar with the difference in conditions inside a greenhouse versus outdoors under the sun, moisture levels can be challenging to control.
We recommend keeping a close eye on your greenhouse’s moisture and humidity levels using tools like a sling psychrometer, which compares wet and dry temperatures within your greenhouse to give a fairly accurate measure of relative humidity within your greenhouse walls. From there, you can take the right steps to adjust for the best possible outcome for your plants.
By keeping humidity under control and at the right level, you can seriously protect your plants, improve your output, and keep your greenhouse healthy and productive straight through until harvest.

Electromechanical systems need power and control circuitry to run properly and make efficient use of input power.
To maximize power conversion efficiency and power delivery to motor controllers, your circuits need to be carefully designed and simulated.
Circuit simulations should be performed before performing mechanical simulations to ensure your system will work properly and that the right components will appear in your PCB layout.
Electromechanical design is much easier with circuit simulation and electromechanical simulation software.
Electromechanical systems take multiple pieces of software to design successfully, including electromechanical simulation software. Your electromechanical simulation software and your mechanical modeling tools ensure your system will behave as you intended mechanically, but they can’t address the specific functions of your circuits before you create mechanical and electromechanical simulations.
Your electrical design and analysis tools are important for designing your motor control circuits and power delivery systems, which then ensure your mechanical system can operate as you intend. Real electromechanical simulation software will use a 3D model of your system for analysis, but this requires creating your schematics and PCB layout first. If you can finish your circuit design and PCB layout before you start your mechanical design and electromechanical simulations, you’ll be able to create a system that meets your electrical and mechanical requirements.
Why Perform Circuit Simulations Before Using Electromechanical Simulation Software?
The electromechanical system design process requires close collaboration between an electrical designer and a mechanical designer. The mechanical designer’s job can be difficult because they have to consider things like enclosure design, range of motion for an enclosure or package, and the power delivered to motors in the system. These aspects of mechanical design, particularly the power delivered to a motor and range of motion, can only be properly considered after power and motor control circuits are designed.
The two critical circuits that must be simulated are your power delivery/management and motor control systems. These circuits need to deliver the required power to mechanical components with minimal loss (i.e., highest possible efficiency). Neither of these systems can be 100% efficient, but you can get as close as possible with the right circuit design and analysis tools.
Here’s what you should examine in each set of circuits to ensure your mechanical components receive the required power with minimal losses.
Power Regulation and Delivery
Your power delivery system typically needs to accommodate the input power from an unregulated DC source or AC mains. In either case, you’ll need to design a power regulation stage to provide power to downstream motors on your board. Because motors come in the AC and DC varieties, it’s best to match the motor type to the input power type. The power regulation and delivery strategy need to be matched to the power source being used.
For more complex systems that will run on AC power, but need a DC motor or stepper motor, you’ll likely need a power factor correction (PFC) circuit with a switching regulator to ensure stable current and high-efficiency power delivery to your electromechanical system. For conversion to pulsating DC from single-phase power, a standard rectifier circuit with an output capacitor can be used. For three-phase conversion to DC power, use the circuit shown below.
Three-phase rectifier circuit for AC-DC conversion.
In your simulation software, you can model three-phase AC input power as a set of three AC sources, each with the phase offset of 120°. Simply sweep the source amplitudes with your diode models to examine the magnitude of the resulting ripple and calculate the power factor. A very stringent European standard on three-phase AC power conversion systems is IEC 61000-3, which limits total harmonic distortion (THD) of input current to not exceed 48% at 16 to 75 A RMS input current per phase. Lower power devices, up to 16 A RMS input current per phase, are limited to no more than 33.8% of THD.
The power factor and THD of your system are related, and excessively high THD will cause your electromechanical system to waste power when THD is high. However, a bus capacitor is required in DC power conversion to provide low pass filtering and more stable input DC power.
In your simulation, you’ll need to experiment with different capacitors to see which values (including their ESL and ESR values) will provide the highest power factor conversion to your electromechanical components. This can be done with parametric sweeps while sweeping capacitor values and calculating the total output power efficiency.
The term “motor control” encompasses speed and torque control on a running motor. This is provided by adjusting one of the parameters in the driving signal. For practical AC driving circuits, a typical motor control method for AC motors is to use a potentiometer with a diac and triac to adjust the power delivered to the motor.
An example with single-phase power is shown below. In such a simple strategy, you can simulate the potentiometer as a fixed resistor and simply vary its value in a parametric sweep while simulating the power delivered to the motor (M1 below).
A speed control circuit for a single-phase AC motor. A similar circuit can be built with a three-phase motor.
The most common method for AC motor control is to adjust the frequency of the driving signal. When constructing a variable frequency drive circuit, you’ll need to simulate the output power as a function of source voltage/current, either for single-phase or three-phase input power. In a SPICE simulation, you can test your circuit design using frequency sweeps.
For DC control, the exact method depends on the type of motor being used. The table below summarizes the different methods used to control DC motor speed, and thus, torque.
Note that brushed and brushless motors can also use a PWM signal where the average voltage received by the motor is equal to the duty cycle multiplied by the line voltage. In this way, the motor can be controlled electronically with a programmable PWM generator, such as in an MCU.

Earlier this year, we all found ourselves in shock as news of Flint’s water crisis hit the mainstream media. It was (and still is) hard to believe that residents of an American city were exposed to contaminated water while officials seemed to turn a blind eye. As the news broke, so many people mobilized and donated bottled water, money, and other items. While the media focus has shifted, help is still needed.
Here are three easy ways that we can all show our continued support for Flint:
1. Help purchase water and water filters. The United Way of Genesee County established the Flint Water Fund to cover the purchase of bottled water, water filters, and provide emergency support services to those in need. To date, this fund has helped source more than 11,000 filters systems and 5,000 replacement filters, while providing bottled water to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan.
2. Break out your phone. Last month, AT&T launched a text-to-give campaign to benefit local children affected by the water crisis. Donations collected during the giving campaign will support the Flint Child Health and Development Fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Flint. The fund will provide early literacy programs, school health services, and nutrition education for local children. To get in on the action, all you have to do is text FLINT to 27722 to make a $10 donation to the fund.
3. Go see Beyoncé. No, seriously. When Queen Bey announced her Formation tour, she also committed to using the city stops to raise money to help provide long-term support for the children affected. While the specific details are still to be announced, we know that she is leading this effort through her #BeyGood initiative and we can keep an eye on that Twitter account for more info.
Aside from the above, you can still donate bottled water and can find those guidelines here. Let’s continue to keep the residents of Flint in our thoughts as we look for ways to support both now and in the future.

I haven’t done one of these saved and earned recaps in a while. Why? Because I somehow seem to be one of the only people in the universe whose spending isn’t dramatically less during COVID. Why is staying home so expensive?
OK. It could have something to do with the fact that just this morning I tossed PAW Patrol slippers in my online shopping cart.
Thankfully, I reined myself in.
Though I can’t offer you a glimpse at someone who is shaving hundred or even thousands of dollars from their spending, I am still saving and earning.
Now that we’ve been sheltering-in-place for several weeks, I noticed the ways that I save and earned have shifted somewhat. In case you’re looking for some ideas on how you might scale back or earn a little extra during quarantine, I figured I’d share some of the things we’ve been up to.
5 Ways I Saved – COVID Edition
Some of this saving has been deliberate, and some of it is just making the best of the circumstances we find ourselves in. As someone who is perfectly comfortable in her comfort zone, the past month has been an adjustment to say the least. However, now that we’re leaning into this temporary “normal” and taking things more day by day, we’re saving a bit. Here’s how:

Esurance is part of the AllState Family. As a result, we get the same refund that AllState is offering. 15% of our premium for April and May is coming back to us. It’s not going to make us rich. However, it’s not nothing. Car insurance is quite pricey where we live. And I think my husband was influenced a little too heavily by Mario Kart and Smash Bandits, so it’s even pricier for us.
Each month, we’ll get about $25 refunded back to us.
Check to see if your car insurance is offering a refund on your premium due to COVID-19 by clicking here.
Put in Some Sweat Equity
I’ve been positively swamped making the switch to e-learning. And then to remote learning. And figuring out there’s actually a world of difference according to my district and my state.
So this call for sweat equity isn’t to say that I’ve had a ton of free time. But I have been able to do things like spot treat and wash our shower curtain. I was pretty convinced it was getting so gross that I would have to buy a new one. It turns out, it really just needed someone to baby it a bunch with all sorts of stain treatments. I’ve also mended a few of HP’s clothes and repaired some toys.
We do still plan to hire in some work. In the next week or two, we are going to reach out to a small business we’ve used in the past to see if they will deliver mulch. I’ve also recently discovered that our upstairs attic has been invaded with wasps. I can hear them buzzing through the drywall. So apparently when I said I hope to support small businesses with my dollars during this COVID crisis, I wasn’t kidding.
Grow Your Own
We keep seeds from year-to-year because I am frugal to my core. And also? I don’t know what to do with them. I hate waste, but I don’t want to compost a bunch of seeds and then have even more chaos in my garden beds than usual. So I keep them and hope for the best.
We started 48 seeds, and we have about 40 seedlings right now. This hasn’t shaved any money off our grocery budget yet, but it will in the coming months. It has given us a lot to do outside, though. This year, my toddler is thrilled to be involved. So the real cost savings is that I haven’t ordered any new toys for him to keep him busy. We just put him in his rain boots, give him his toddler rake, and turn him loose on the empty garden beds.
Meal Plan Differently
When things started disappearing from shelves in early March, I was still trying to stick to my regular method of meal planning. The end result was repeated trips, missing ingredients, and wasted time. Now, we aim to have our staples covered, and then we shop more flexibly based on what is available in store.
For instance, I had my heart set on sweet potato and black bean tacos. Based on the lack of avocado, guacamole, and tortilla shells, we pivoted to a roasted veggie sheet pan meal that I knew by heart as I stood in the produce aisle. It’s kind of like the advice that you shouldn’t buy an article of clothing if you can’t imagine making at least three outfits out of it? I now only buy groceries that I could mix and match into multiple meals based on what is actually available.
Clean Up Consistently
This pandemic has not gifted us with more time. If anything, it feels like we are sleeping less and constantly committed. Zoom has taken the education world by storm. Seriously, our district administration raving about Zoom is a lot like someone marveling over Vine or the Macarena right now. We know. We’ve known. Move along.
But in between all of the staff meetings and remote teaching that my husband and I are doing (and toddler wrangling!), we are trying to tidy up and throw things away. As a society, we are conditioned to see clutter and respond by purchasing organizational “necessities.” They’re not needed; at least not for us. We just had to recommit to keeping the house straightened up.

5 Ways I Earned – COVID Edition
I keep seeing the usual recommendations for side hustles and quick money (nothing is ever easy about finance). But a lot of that advice just plain doesn’t apply the same way anymore, if at all. The JobSpotter App is temporarily on hiatus and many reselling apps are noting delays with processing and shipping.
A lot of people are scrambling. Myself included! Two big ways that I was making extra cash each week totally disappeared. Our school is closed through April 30, so that means no lunch supervision and no subbing for at least six weeks. Certainly, I’m very fortunate to still receive my salary and benefits. But I’m not going to lie. I miss that extra $100 or so each week!
Start Remote Teaching
No, I am not going to advise you to earn $10 an hour with a teaching degree. I’m not talking about that kind of remote teaching.
Instead, I wanted to disclose that I am still earning my income, as is my husband. We made the move to remote learning the day after schools closed. I thought I worked hard before? This is just bananas. I’m required to offer 3-5 hours of instruction a day, and I was easily clocking 12+ hours a day on it the first two weeks.
I am very grateful to have my salary, but I am exhausted. And come to think of it, maybe I am teaching for $10 an hour. 😉 But at least it comes with benefits.
Note: If you really think that teaching online is right for you, go for it! Just be wary of companies that pay their affiliates more generously than they pay credentialed teachers. You might also consider looking into tutoring. Depending on the subject area, you could pull in anywhere from $25-$100 an hour. Truly!
RELATED POST: 4 Tips to Earn Four Figures a Month Tutoring
This is another big focus of mine lately. Now that I’m in a better groove with remote learning and I have some actual boundaries in my life again, I have more bandwidth for freelancing.
Sometimes, side hustling isn’t great. But right now, it is super important to me. The reasons it is worthwhile for me is that I only have a handful of clients, the work is really interesting, and they all pay fairly and promptly. In short, they are amazing!
I do think this is an area where people can really get taken advantage of. If you’re trying to get your start freelancing, let me know. I’m not an expert, but I can send all sorts of resources your way. As someone who was pushed around a bunch when I first started tutoring, I understand how conflicting it is to just earn any kind of money. But you should know that there are great clients out there who will treat you well. You don’t have to settle!
Download the Achievement App
I was going to say “use the Achievement app,” but that makes it sounds like actual work. I did the initial setup on the app, and now we are off and running. OK, mostly walking. But still.
If you have a FitBit, you absolutely need to get this app. It tracks your steps, and you cash out via PayPal every $10. It also offers you opportunities to do in-app surveys and join studies. I’m currently doing a study, and I’ve already received $15. I should end up with another $25 by the end of April.
Keep Scanning Receipts
Apps like Shopkick are a lot less powerful with big-point stores temporarily closed. But apps like Fetch and Ibotta still work well. I reconnected with Checkout 51 this past week, and I was super excited to see them offering any brand/any type rebates for apples, eggs, and milk.
If you don’t have Checkout 51 and you want to try it, this is my referral link. I get a few bucks and so do you! If you haven’t found at least one receipt app that you like, I highly recommend scrolling through the app store and seeing what options match up with your shopping habits!
Surely, this is a sign that the End of Times is upon us. Right?
Bing Rewards are fairly easy to rack up if you remember to actually use the search engine. I’m definitely not going to be richer for this, but now that JobSpotter is kaput, I’m using Bing more consistently to keep socking away Amazon credits for my Christmas Fund.
So Tell Me…How are you saving a bit more or earning a little extra lately?

Washington Nationals manager Dusty baker was let go Friday and fans want to know what happened. With Dusty Baker’s record, there are some that are surprised to see the former coach get the boot. For more information, here’s a closer look with our Dusty Baker wiki.
Who is Dusty Baker?
Dusty Baker’s age is 68 years old and he was born Johnnie B. Baker, Jr. on June 15, 1949, in Riverside, California. He’s a former baseball player (jersey No. 12), who has played for the Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, and the Oakland Athletics. He’s 6’2″ and played outfielder. Dusty Baker’s net worth is estimated at $20.0 million, and though Dusty Baker’s salary is currently unknown, it was reported that he was making roughly $900,000 salary with the Giants. On average, a manager of any MLB team is reported to make about $1.0 million in salary per year, but can vary based on experience and tenure.
Why was He Fired?
After two seasons, Baker is being replaced, though there was no clear reason given and both he and his coaching staff will have their contracts expired by the end of this year. The Lerner family, who own the Washington Nationals team, released a signed open letter about Baker’s dismissal.
“Even though this ultimately wasn’t our season, we remain devoted to that cause. In further pursuit of that goal, we have decided to make a change in leadership and begin the process of finding a new manager. This was an incredibly difficult decision for us.”
“Dusty Baker led the team to the first back-to-back division titles in our history and represented our club with class on and off the field. He is one of the true gentleman in our sport, and we thank him for the successes that we enjoyed together over the last two years. We wish him nothing but the best going forward.”
He was Surprised
Despite not being able to bring the team to the National League Division Series, Baker has been coaching the team since 2015 and wasn’t expecting this to be his last coaching season.
“I’m surprised and disappointed,” Baker told USA TODAY Sports. “They told me they would get back to me and I told them I was leaving town yesterday and they waited 10 days to tell me.”
He added: “I really thought this was my best year. We won at least 95 games each year and won the division back to back years but they said they wanted to go a different direction. It’s hard to understand.”
Dusty Baker’s Wife and Kids
Dusty Baker has been married to Melissa since 1994 and Dusty Baker’s son and daughter are Darren and Natosha.
The Team Liked Him
Baker’s loss isn’t taken lightly and he was known to have a great rapport with the team up until the news was announced.
“I think Dusty’s great. The whole coaching staff. … They do such a good job of making sure they relate to us. That’s a great group of guys in there. They’re just as much deserving of the success we’ve had as we are. They probably work harder than us, to be honest with you,” first baseman Ryan Zimmerman said last week. “I think everyone in this room would love to have them back.”
Baker’s dismissal is the fourth for the Nationals and they haven’t released any information on a permanent replacement.

In this edition:
- EN BANC REVIEW OF RETAIL DIGITAL NETWORK CASE IS UNDERWAY - Read
- Missouri Broadcasters Association Wins Appeal of Lawsuit Challenging the State's Restrictive Alcohol Advertising Statute and Regulations - Read
- US appeals court reinstates suit over Missouri alcohol ads - Read...
And more for more news - go to Duncan Liquor Law Letter
All 11 judges from the 9th Circuit gathered in San Francisco this past week to hear oral arguments on the Retail Digital Network appeal, per Alcohol Law Review blog. This step marks the beginning of the "en banc" review of the case.
The blog gave us a brief summary of what took place last week saying, the "judges did seem to struggle with the specific details of the law in question [tied-house laws] and how it works in the marketplace" and the panel also had plenty of "questions on the state of commercial free speech law in the United States Supreme Court."
The blog didn't offer up its guess on the final outcome as it is a "terribly imprecise science," but it did say, "with additional cases on commercial free speech pending before the Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit may take awhile to issue a decision."
JEFFERSON CITY, MO, January 20, 2017 - Yesterday the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit unanimously revived our lawsuit that challenges a Missouri statute and two Missouri regulations that we believe illegally limit alcohol advertising.
These Missouri laws prevent consumers from receiving truthful information in advertising. Specifically, although retailers can offer price discounts and promotions on alcoholic beverages, these laws keep citizens from learning about those discounts in advance, through radio, television, and newspaper ads.
Our radio and television stations are key sources of information for Missourians. Just as with news, listeners and viewers learn about the availability of goods and services through radio and TV advertising, and a restriction on advertising truthful information only keeps relevant and useful information from consumers. That's why the MBA and several other entities challenged these laws under the First Amendment, and its guarantee of commercial free speech.
The antiquated Missouri laws at issue prohibit our advertisers from being able to advertise alcohol discounts, even though those discounts can be advertised on premise. The state contends that the restrictions are intended to discourage binge drinking, but binge drinking is more likely to be encouraged by promotions inside a bar than from media advertisements heard or seen in one's living room.
The MBA is pleased that the appeals court pointed out the many inconsistencies in the regulations, which we believe demonstrate their unconstitutionality. The Supreme Court's precedents protecting truthful commercial speech permit restrictions on commercial speech only if they are closely tailored to the state's needs, and we believe the many inconsistencies in Missouri alcohol advertising regulations show that these laws are not so limited.
Additionally, because advertising of special pricing is allowed in all our bordering states, we believe that these laws create an unfair competitive disadvantage to Missouri businesses.
The laws are also ill-suited for the era social media, which college students in a bar can use to instantly publicize alcohol discounts, and to today's world of ubiquitous and growing microbreweries and wineries, which have special exemptions from some of the restrictions.
If these laws are found unconstitutional, or removed by legislative and regulatory action, price-conscious consumers will have better information and be able to make better alcoholic beverage purchasing choices.
The immediate effect of the Eighth Circuit decision is to send the case back to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri. MBA and its co-plaintiffs intend to vigorously pursue their claims in that court, particularly in light of the Eighth Circuit's legal analysis which is highly favorable to the strength and validity of these claims.
For more information contact: Mark Gordon, President/CEO Missouri Broadcasters Association 573-636-6692
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A federal appeals court on Thursday revived a lawsuit challenging Missouri regulations that broadcasters and others say illegally limit how they can market alcohol.
In reinstating the case, which was tossed out last year by U.S. District Judge Fernando Gaitan Jr. at the state's behest, an 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel unanimously ruled the plaintiffs "plausibly stated a claim upon which relief could be granted."
The 8th Circuit noted the state's justification that the restrictions are in the public interest by trying to blunt irresponsible alcohol use and underage drinking. But the appellate court cited inconsistencies in the application of the regulations, which permit advertising such generic things as "Happy Hour" and "Ladies Night" - as well as marketing all sales, promotions and discounts - on the retailer's premises.
The defendants "apparently are not as concerned with retailers baiting consumers to drink excessively once they arrive," Chief Judge William Jay Riley wrote for the three-judge panel.
In their 2013 lawsuit, the Missouri Broadcasters Association, Zimmer Radio group, Springfield winemaker Meyer Farms and Uncle D's Sports Bar & Grill in St. Joseph challenged, among other things, the state's Discount Advertising Prohibition Regulation. That rule makes it illegal for an alcohol advertisement to mention prices, rebates or discounts, essentially barring references to such things as two-for-one beer specials, a wine shop's going-out-of-business sale or a restaurant special offer of a free drink with a meal purchase.
Calling such regulations an unconstitutional and "chilling" infringement of free speech, broadcasters pressing the lawsuit have said the restrictions have cost them immeasurable potential advertising money.
On Thursday, the St. Louis-based 8th Circuit declared that those suing over the regulations have "included sufficient allegations that the challenged provisions did not directly advance the substantial interest of promoting responsible drinking."
"A theoretical increase in demand for alcohol based on a lower price does not necessarily mean any consumption of that alcohol is irresponsible," Riley wrote, adding that "the multiple inconsistencies within the regulations poke obvious holes in any potential advancement of the interest in promoting responsible drinking."

"The holiness that Our Lord demands of you is to be achieved by carrying out with love of God your work and your daily duties, and these will almost always consist of small realities.” Saint Josemaría

Dubai is one of the most famous major cities in the world, partly because of the massive wealth that exists within its borders. The super Oil metropolis features some of the most expensive architecture, along with other high end accouterments with ultra high priced automobiles parading down the streets carrying VIPs from all walks of life. When it comes to high end and impressive vehicles, the Dubai Police Force can hold its own in the lineup. The department owns some of the most amazing vehicles ever built within their police fleet and here are some that will raise your eyebrows.
1. Audi R8 V10
Law enforcement in Dubai spends their time tooling around the town in super fast Audi R8 automobiles that are fully souped with powerful V-10 engines that crank out 525 horsepower. This is the same engine that turns heads in the Lamborghini Gallardo, and it can sprint from zero to sixty in less than four seconds. The super car is an integral member of the fleet of super fast cars for the Dubai police.
2. Brabus G 700
The Brabus G class may not look like a sporty racer but this beefy Mercedes is loaded with the right stuff to handle the harsh environmental conditions of the desert region with an engine that boasts a massive 690 horse power that can catch the bad guys in town with amazing speed or tear through off road desert locations wth ease. The UAE added this model to their impressive fleet of squad vehicles in 2013 without batting an eye at the $230,000 price tag for the desert loving truck.
3. Bugatti Veyron
Could this possibly be considered an over the top police car? The Bugatti Veyron was purchased for the Dubai police car fleet at the cost of $1.6 million. It has thee capacity to reach a speed of 247 mph and it’s a sure thing that the driver is going to catch up with the speeders and the criminals trying fruitlessly to outrun them. They picked this radical ride up in 2014. Although the automaker no longer makes the Veyron, it’s an amazing vehicle that no doubt has retained its value. Do you think it will be rotated anytime soon?
4. McLaren MP4-12C
Although the MP4-12C isn’t the fastest car in the fleet, it’s fast enough. It reaches a top speed of more than 200 mph with its powerful V-8 engine that generates 604 horse power. This British super car became a distinguished member of the Dubai Police stable of super cars in late December of 2013.
5. Aston Martin One-77
The Aston Martin One-77 became known as Police One when it joined the force in 2013. The department paid a whopping $1.5 million for thee carbon fiber bodied beast that just happened to be a limited edition with just 77 examples ever built. The car has a top speed of 220 mph, making it the perfect choice for engaging in high speed chase situations. This car definitely gives the Dubai police the advantage in such situation.
6. Nissan GT-R
The Dubai Police acquired this beauty in 2013, but it was one of the least expensive vehicles purchased in their shopping frenzy that fully stocked the stable with new squad vehicles. They spent $100,000 on this car that held its own against most of the others with a top speed of 196 mph.
7. Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
This gorgeous Mercedes fits into the lovely theme of the city with an almost terrorizing coolness and style. It’s a high end vehicle and just a glance lets you know that it’s capable of reaching scorching high speeds, in fact, zero to 60 in 3.6 seconds, thanks to the 6.3 liter V-8 engine that cranks 539 horse power.
8. Ferrari FF
This all wheel drive is a super fast four seat model that features an all wheel drive with a high performance engine that has to drink gas like water on a hot day with the V12 that blasts the vehicle from zero to 60 in 3.7 seconds, and just keeps going until it hits a top speed of 208 mph. It’s also a part of the Dubai fleet of police vehicles.
9. Lamborghini Aventador
The Dubai Police fleet of vehicles would not have been complete without the addition of the Lamborghini Aventador. They needed the world’s most extreme road car in the stable with its 691 horse power V12 engine. This car beat speed records moving from zero to sixty in less than 3 seconds and has a top speed of 217 mph.
10. BMW i8
This car is drop dead gorgeous and most police officers would gladly call it their squad car. It’s one of the more laid back super cars in the fleet with a three cylinder electric hybrid that generates 357 horse power. It’s by no means a slow car with a zero to 60 achievement in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph. One of the best things about this car, aside from its good looks, is the fact that it gets 76 miles per gallon and its sensible, adequate for its intended purpose and it’s a fuel efficient vehicle.

Protect yourself from
Identity theft claims 10 million victims
a year and costs consumers and businesses approximately $52
billion annually, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
You can reduce your chances of becoming a victim by educating
yourself. If you should be victimized, you'll want to discover
the fraud as quickly as possible and take immediate steps to
stop the perpetrator. The King County prosecutor's office in
Seattle, Wash., has assembled this guide that can help you protect
yourself against identity theft.
Identity thieves assume your name,
date of birth, Social Security number and credit rating --
which they ruin by posing as you to buy or rent things. They
may also get a driver's license and citations in your name,
then fail to appear, resulting in a warrant for your arrest.
The problem is growing, due in
part to widespread publication of your personal and financial
information on the Internet. Sources of this information include
merchants, creditors, court files and theft. Your information
can be stolen from your home, car, mail or business.
If your identity is stolen, it
can take more than a year of concerted effort to clear up
your credit record. You will likely be refused credit, including
mortgages; collection agencies will call you at home and work;
merchants will likely refuse to accept your checks. You could
be arrested and even held in jail.
Prevention tips -- Steps
you can take now to minimize the risk of your identity being
- Never leave your wallet, purse, checkbook or credit
receipts in your car. Car prowling is a prime source
for identity theft. Thieves know to look in merchandise
bags for credit receipts -- which often print your credit
- Have your mail delivered to a secure location.
Mail box theft is another common source for identity thieves.
Your credit card bill has everything a criminal needs to
make purchases by telephone or on the Internet.
- Don't put bill payments in your unlocked mailbox for
- Carefully review your account statements and credit
bills. Contest any unauthorized items or entries.
- Don't give out personal information over the telephone
unless you initiated the call. Identity thieves can
pose as representatives of banks, ISPs, collection agencies,
government agencies, etc., to get you to reveal your account
numbers, passwords, Social Security number or mother's maiden
- Never use a debit card or a check when shopping online.
Once stolen from your account, it can be difficult to recover
your money. Consider using one credit card only for your
online purchases. Use a secure browser when sending credit
card numbers over the Internet. Review your bill carefully
as soon as you get it. Contest unauthorized charges.
- Keep a list of all your credit/debit cards, card numbers
and issuer phone numbers. This will facilitate your
reports to creditors/banks if your purse/wallet is stolen.
- Memorize your ATM password. Never store the password
in your purse or wallet.
- Shred your financial garbage. That includes credit
receipts, pre-approved credit offers, credit checks. Cross-cut
shredders are best.
- Cancel unused credit cards and charge accounts.
- Be stingy with your Social Security number. Don't
give it out to everyone who asks. Make thoughtful decisions
regarding whether the requester really needs it. Ask to
use other types of personal identifiers.
- Do not print your Social Security number or driver's
license number on your checks. Carry only the number
of checks you will need on a given day. Keep pads of blank
checks in a safe place.
- Never carry anything with your Social Security number
on it. If your health insurance card shows your Social
Security number, ask your insurer for a new card without
the Social Security number. Until you get your new insurance
card, carry it only when you need to use it.
- Prevent credit reporting agencies from selling your
name, Social Security number, address and credit rating.
Merchants who want to offer you credit cards or sell you
merchandise buy your financial information. This is a source
for personal information that can ultimately be published
on the Internet. Contact the "Opt out" option
of all credit reporting agencies.
- Prevent your creditors and identity clearinghouses
from selling or "sharing" your personal information.
Your creditors generally sell or "share" your
name, address, Social Security number, financial information,
spending and bill paying habits unless you tell them not
to. This information often finds its way to clearinghouses
for personal information, and to the Internet. Find sample
letters preventing disclosure at Privacy Rights Clearinghouse,
and JUNKBUSTERS, www.junkbusters.com.
Clearinghouses and other publishers of personal information
are listed below.
- Obtain and review your credit reports regularly.
Check all three major credit reporting agencies. Dispute
incorrect information. Be sure the agency has a correct
address for you, especially if you have moved or suspect
your identity has been stolen. Contact information for credit
reporting agencies is below.

Wild for Wildwood Chronicles
One of our favorite bands is the Decemberists. In fact, their album The King is Dead is transformative. . . it literally changes me every time I hear it. So I was beyond excited when I saw that Collin Meloy and his wife, illustrator Carson Ellis have just collaborated on a new book, the Wildwood Chronicles and it's getting great reviews. Take a look at this lovely video of them talking about the process to create this together. . . I love the way they are together and how they talk about working together. What a gift! And below, prepare to be inspired, and maybe moved to tears. . . Rise to Me is all about love, life, courage and specifically Collin's ode to Carson and their son Henry. Beautiful. I'm looking forward to being moved and changed by the book, and maybe surprise some people with a special Christmas gift. A Decemberist surprise seems fitting.

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
For the Week of Oct 14th, 2013 — Expect a major shake-up in your love life this week. On Wednesday, a conversation between you and your partner might open the door to a newfound mutual understanding and awareness that previously eluded you. Then, Friday’s Lunar Eclipse in your 7th House of Commitment will bring things to a crashing climax. A relationship turning point is imminent, and whichever way you go there will be no turning back. Will it be an ending or a new beginning? Wednesday’s dialogue might give you the answer.
So far, the wunderkind is wonderful at following directions. I asked despite early signals he might arrive before his due date that he wait until he was fully developed, he did. I asked that he think about reserving his own special birthday with both his father’s and mine at the second half of last month, he did. I pointed out a birthday on the 13th might be not-so-great-mojo, so far, so good.
The house is as clean as an overdue woman can make happen, and have reached the uncomfortable point when even work emails and lead follow up is out of the scope of my attention span. Looking forward, as baby G’s Realtor for life, to him moving out of his current studio digs and into something with some more room and though I have loved the creation of growth of this fantastic life, I’m looking forward to no longer being a duplex. 😉

Educating yourself about real estate shouldn’t.
I promise, no spam or terrible links. Brief snippets about real estate in Eastern NC and hopefully more to come- pending negotiations with some exclusionary contracts pending a possible tv deal, long story, and RIGHT up there with working on having a baby, I’ve reached the hopefully near a decision making point where things may come to fruition oooooorrrrr we all move on.
Meantime, despite the fun rumors, I plan NO maternity leave (crazy talk you say? nay, single mom roaring, look out business world, fighting for more than an arbitrary goal list from here on out.) so I will most certainly be moving forward with my team in helping folks in Eastern NC with their real estate needs as well as our FREE red carpet concierge service to help folks relocate anywhere in the world.
As usual, visit http://www.JasonGruner.com for more real estate info, a great free phone app and AMAZING access to local real estate information.
I’m also working on a stroller patrol, if you’re local and looking to network for running and/or walking – we’re working on a fun group to help cheer one another on towards their goals, not to mention just the fun fellowship and friendship. 🙂
Hope you are well and enjoying your internet browsing this evening!
POCS, endometriosis, and fibroids. A surgery that took twice as long as planned and was considered not possibly a “success” followed by months of multiple daily injections, mixing drugs, MANY visits to ECU and Brody School of Medicine for treatment, yoga, tai chi, acupuncture . . .and years later after thinking kids of my own were not exactly in the cards. . .the best surprise ever. I actually hung on to this last pack of drugs and shot kit as a reminder that the timing would be right to try the whole turning-myself-inside-out routine one more time.
Life is short, take the plunge, try the path less traveled. . .sure, the water can be rough or the path filled with briars and pot holes. . .but that’s how you get to the most amazing places.
I never thought I was a person who would get such pleasure from doing something someone had told me wasn’t possible, even if I wasn’t planning to do so. I have made some personal and professional decisions over the years based on the supposition that children of my own were a very long shot, at least without serious medical intervention.
This handsome fellow, with his fist in the air says challenge your thoughts, challenge convention. When life places a bend in your path or an “obstacle” you weren’t anticipating. . .take the dive. I have to admit, previously I had been a “keep the status quo” kind of girl, anti-surprise party. . .and a planner ten steps in advance (as a very clumsy child who was placed in ballet as a toddler- plotting your next dozen steps keeps you from tripping and falling). HE has been the most mind blowing and joyous surprise I could have NEVER anticipated.
Part of me would love to pack up Garrett for a visit to the Brody School of Medicine for a hello and visit to some nurses I got to know very well years ago, but I’m so pleased with the (not so, since I’m writing here) silent knowledge that despite some crazy hurdles, insane odds, and what-are-the-chances timing. . .he’s almost here.
To date, Garrett is the best adventure I’ve taken. I can’t wait to see what my cohort and I get into in this next very exciting chapter in my life. So far, he’s been a most excellent and gallant escort while meeting clients and showing homes. 🙂
May you have many exciting new chapters in YOUR life and amazing adventures on your horizon.
Is it just me or are men game for almost any activity that involves a gun?
Tomorrow, nursery furniture arrives. Well, two dressers, two twin beds, a nightstand and a rocking chair in tiger’s eye maple. As a Realtor, I enjoy hearing clients figure out loud which rooms will be for which family member and where furniture will go. I’m lacking that clarity thus far. Not 100% sure where everything will be set up and there’s the matter of the crib.
Dear baby supply stores and big box outlets: please don’t leave things on your display floor that are A. already sold out 2. not an option to purchase as they have been on display and are considered “unsafe for resale” and III. provide no alternates for ordering purposes. So, of course I have scoped out some back-up options which aren’t exactly what I had in mind but in terms of features and function are on par, but price point, of course is more. . .beware the DANG upsale! Le sigh.
Tomorrow is a big gathering at the house, to both unpack and unload furniture but also to meet and greet. I’m taking full advantage of pregnancy insomnia to catch up on projects that didn’t get done today while showing homes. I have one key lime pie (from scratch) complete and cooling and one “crack” pie in the oven ( http://chefindisguise.com/2013/06/27/momofuku-milk-bar-crack-pie/ ) and deviled eggs hanging out in the fridge. Tomorrow I am whipping up some roasted lamb and a tenderloin, couscous and ratatouille. Somehow I feel if I can’t help with the heavy lifting I can at least make sure everyone is full after the fact.
Looking for dinner/dessert/nursery/painting/new construction/work motivation and more? You’re welcome to always check out my Pinterest page: http://pinterest.com/mckenzie27/boards/ for suggestions and inspiration.
And for those thirty of so of you per week that are finding my site looking for a registry (I use my nerd powers for good instead of evil (-; ) , target, babies r us and amazon- at some point I suppose I should post links and I’ll get around to that, but there’s laundry to be done and a wiry black lab puppy who needs a bath before we call it a night!
Hope your summer is treating you well! As always, you’re welcome to contact me @ McKenzieSellsHomes@gmail.com for Residential Real Estate questions and needs. Rentals, sales, bank-owned, short sale, investment and more- I’m your Eastern North Carolina connection.

From our friends at Parents Ask Helping to build self esteem is perhaps one of the most important things a parent can do for their child. How to do this… well, that's another story. Today, Parents Ask contributor Michele Borba, Ed.D., offers these great tips: Q: Lately, I've noticed that my son gives up on homework or games when it isnt' going his way. He has also mentioned that he feels like his friends don't like him (which I don't think is true). I want to make him feel good about himself. How can I help nuture his self esteem so he can be the best he can be, and feel good too? A: Regardless of what state or country I’m in, the question parents at my workshops ask me most frequently is, “What’s the most important thing I can do to help my child be the best he can be?” And my answer is always the same: “Help your child learn to believe in himself.” That feeling will lay the foundation for his emotional, social, academic, and moral development. And boosting that belief in your child may well be your greatest legacy. Without feeling “I can do it,” a child is gravely handicapped from succeeding in every arena: at school, at home, with others, at work, on athletic fields, and in life. With little faith in himself, the child will approach experiences with a “Why bother, I can’t do it anyway” attitude, greatly minimizing his chances for happiness and personal fulfillment. The cumulative impact that an “I can’t” attitude has on his self-esteem is tragically predictable: How can he possibly feel good about himself with so few positive experiences to affirm that he is worthwhile and competent? “I can do it” attitudes don’t develop automatically; our children learn them, and the first place they learn them is from us. Clear-cut evidence shows that parents who expect their children to succeed and communicate the belief, “I know you can,” produce children who do. And nurturing this belief is one of the greatest gifts you can give you child, because it is the foundation for healthy self-esteem and successful living. Sometimes, though, parents and teachers unintentionally send messages that diminish children’s self beliefs. One of the deadliest habits that chip away at children’s self-confidence is any form of stereotyping. Parents who expect their children to succeed and communicate the belief, “I know you can,” produce children who do. Nicknames like Shorty, Clumsy, Crybaby, Slowpoke, Klutz, or Nerd can become daily reminders of incompetence. They can also become self-fulfilling prophecies. Regardless whether the labels are true or not, when children hear them they begin to believe them. And the label very often sticks and becomes difficult to erase. Click here for five ideas you can do to help prevent your child from forming deadly, negative self-images.

In , nearly 23 out of every , patients in the VA system had a diagnosis of gender identity disorder, which is used to describe gender identity issues that lead to significant levels of psychological distress and has been associated with high suicide risk. She started life in rural Georgia as O'Day Simmons. I strongly urge the American Psychiatric Association to remove this offensive term from the supporting text of the GID diagnosis. Blanchard did two scientific studies that provided persuasive evidence that some autogynephilic individuals are prone to denying autogynephilia. Autogynephilia appears to give rise to the desire for sex reassignment gradually and indirectly, however, through the creation of cross-gender identities that are eventually associated with gender dysphoria and then provide most of the proximate motivation for the pursuit of sex reassignment.
Violence motivated by perception of sexual orientation and gender identity: a systematic review
Moser reported the responses of 29 female hospital employees to his Female Autogynephilia Scale, which used items modified from scales originally devised by Blanchard , b to measure autogynephilia and related traits Lawrence, b. Blanchard, too, proposed that autogynephilia and nonandrophilic orientation tend to correlate — very highly — in MtF transsexuals, but he also acknowledged that these characteristics do not always align exactly as his theory predicts. She did not urge people to read the book first. Marriage Equality , Politics Tags: Homosexual male-to-female transsexuals may well approximately be "women trapped in men's bodies. About half of respondents reported at least occasional "autogynephilic" arousal.
Sexology Today!: What's the difference between autogynephilia and trans women?
Concepts and Controversies European Psychologist, 22 , Comment on Moser [Letter to the Editor]. It is a far-right viewpoint that pushes the idea that God hates trans people. How could Blanchard's theory account for these deviations from its predictions? This is similar to the theories of trans genderism - that there may be different reasons for the same condition.
Lisa Mullin 18 January at By connecting both gender identity and sexual orientation, [Blanchard's autogynephilia theory] connects two distinct concepts in sexology usually thought of as independent. American Journal of Psychiatry, , Narratives of autogynephilic transsexualism, by Anne Lawrence [Book review]. What new and far more encompassing theory does this lead to? There is no scientific evidence for this as a construct. But the tough exterior belied inner issues.

Compiling a packing checklist for your sailing trip is a fantastic way to keep organised, and make sure that nothing important gets left behind. In addition to your clothes and personal items, you need to be sure that you cater for your sailing and emergency necessities that would make you trip a nightmare if you were to sail off without them.
Boats tend to come equipped with many supplies, such as snorkelling gear, life vests and kitchen utensils/appliances. Consult the list of items your boat comes with, and be sure to bring:
- Your passport and licenses, and copies of each. A travel pouch or hidden money belt may be a useful item for all your important documents.
- Your prescription medication if you are taking any. Be sure that the bottles are labelled with your full name and dosage details.
- Soft, fabric luggage like a duffle bag or backpack. Luggage with hard covers and metal frames are difficult to fit into cabinets and closet spaces.
- Your favourite sunblock, SPF lip balm and insect repellent. Avoid bringing tanning oil since it can stain the wood or fabrics on the boat.
- Waterproof pouches for your money and electronic devices.
- Travel size toiletries. Nail clippers and tweezer may be useful to bring along.
- Seasickness pills or patches, and sleeping aids just in case the rocking of the boat does not put everyone to sleep.
- A hat, a pair of sunglasses, several t-shirts, shorts and swimwear. You should also carry a windbreaker, a light raincoat and a fancy outfit for dinner.
- Shoes, one pair of boat shoes and a pair of flip flops or street shoes for walking around on land (although it is best to go barefoot)
- A beach towel
- Your favourite electronic device. You may not want to carry large or bulky items, but your phone, kindle or iPod would be fine
- Miscellaneous items such as matches, flashlights, batteries, wipes, duct tape, device chargers, playing cards and a journal for jotting down your trip notes.
Just in case you were wondering you should not bring:
- Expensive jewellery and belongings that are of high value
- Hairdryers or flat irons
- Too many clothes and makeup products
- Heels, dark soled shoes that can mark the deck of the boat
- Work from the office
- And most importantly, worries
Sailors often fly the flags of their countries on their boats, if you have any that you would like to fly, feel free to carry them.

(March 8, 2018–ANNAPOLIS, Md.)–As President Donald Trump authorizes tariffs on steel and aluminum, the Maryland Chamber of Commerce joins other organizations across the country and around the world in voicing serious concerns.
“These kinds of tariffs will have terrible effects on Maryland’s economy,” said Maryland Chamber President & CEO Christine Ross. “Obviously, the impact on manufacturing will set back an industry we have been fighting mightily to bolster. But the effects on construction, contracting, transportation and infrastructure projects, durable goods, imports and more will be very costly.
“These industries are pivotal in the state. They offer jobs to tens of thousands of people. Companies like Stanley Black and Decker, which employs more than 2,300 Marylanders, will get hit hard. Higher costs for supplies and production mean fewer jobs and higher prices for consumers.”
According to the Maryland Chamber’s partner for economic analysis, the Regional Economic Studies Institute at Towson University, construction laborers; first line trade and extraction workers; carpenters; electricians; and plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters were among the top 10 occupations that would see growth in the state between 2017 and 2019. Tariffs on steel and aluminum could impact all of those professions.
Construction represented the second largest area for employment growth in Baltimore City from 2016 – 2018, by RESI’s research.
Steel and aluminum are not only for heavy manufacturing. The state’s craft beer industry and other products relying on tin could also be affected. According to the Brookings Institution, steel and aluminum imports account for 5.5 percent of Maryland’s total imports. That’s more than double the national average.
“This is a ripple effect that would impact Maryland from Garrett County to the Eastern Shore,” Ross said.
At the Maryland Chamber of Commerce Congressional Delegation Dinner Tuesday evening in Greenbelt, U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen spoke pointedly about the danger of this kind of tariff.
“American products shipped out of the port of Baltimore will be put at competitive disadvantage with their competitors from around the world who are not paying a 25-percent tariff on the steel they are using,” Van Hollen said.
He went on to explain that he had met with the president of Volvo Trucks, a Maryland Chamber member that owns the Mack Truck plant in Hagerstown. “That truck they produce is 100-percent made here in the state of Maryland. Volvo hires Marylanders for good paying jobs and good skills jobs,” he said.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in its recent summary of the dangers of such tariffs, explained that steel tariffs or quotas can harm American competitiveness in the global market. It cited that U.S. manufacturers using steel employ 40 – 60 times more American workers than U.S. steel facilities, and some of those jobs would be at risk under broad tariffs or other trade and import restrictions.
“Steel and aluminum tariffs are short-sighted approaches,” Ross said. “Analysts and outlets of every political persuasion have been critical of the idea. Congress, the Cabinet, and White House advisers must intervene if they want to spare the American economy from the effects of this move.”

This story in Newsweek (of all places) is not asking about the 55 million babies aborted since Roe v. Wade, but it does raise the looming demographic nightmare of shrinking population even in the USA and what it means for our economy. Authors Joel Kotkin and Harry Siegel are destined for a ton of hate mail, if cyber-mail can be measured in weight. And they definitely do not open real mail packages left at their door. You can’t talk about babies because all that was decided and settle in the grand sexual and feminist revolution, when women were liberated from all that stuff. Time to read The Children of Men again.

Excellent article from Bruce Eckel covering the dangers of “language-love”, a sure sign of an amateur programmer.
The Java hyper-enthusiasts have left the building, leaving a significant contingent of Java programmers behind, blinking in the bright lights without the constant drumbeat of boosterism.

From Strange Brand – Branding and Marketing Blog – The First Year: 7 Lessons Learned
Lesson 4: Long hours? Poor project management.
Having been part of the design/development community for so long, I’m no stranger to the concept of “crunch time.” The fact that I’m running my own business only adds to the effect. I’ve been working 60-hour+ weeks for the past year, and yet it never feels like I’m doing enough.
However, I’ve come to realize lately that long hours aren’t a badge of honor. If anything, they only highlight the need for better organization and management.
It’s easy to associate a huge workload with the idea that “business is booming,” but in reality, it’s usually a sign of some (or all) of the following:
* You’re disorganized.
* You’re estimating inaccurately.
* You’re not managing your staff effectively.
* You’re giving “nice” deadlines to clients, instead of taking the time to explain and justify more realistic deadlines.
* You’re trying to do everything by yourself when you really should be bringing on additional help.
Well worth a read for all those thinking of starting up.

A committee of the Senate on Thursday asked President Goodluck Jonathan to remove Arunma Oteh, Director-General of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), from office as recommended by the House of Representatives.
In a statement in Abuja, the Chairman of the Committee on Capital Market, Senator Ayoade Adeseun, said the committee would have nothing to do with Ms Oteh as long as she remained as the head of SEC.
The statement said that since Ms Oteh resumed duty at SEC, there had been series of protests against her style of management at the commission.
“Rather than seek amity with the workforce, she has continued with the same style of administration for which even the Presidential Review Committee indicted her.
“Specifically, the members of staff have again accused her of highhandedness, sole administratorship, intimidation, insensitivity, malice and a headlong drive for vengeance,” it said.
It said it was in view of this development that the committee at its meeting on Sept. 26, took the resolution to call for Oteh’s removal.
The statement said that if the trend was not checked, the Nigerian Capital Market might be brought finally to its knees with attendant deleterious effect on the economy.
“The committee therefore resolved to support the position of the House of Representatives that the D.G (SEC) be removed forthwith.
“The committee also resolved to have nothing to do with Ms. Arunma Oteh for as long as she remained at the helm of affairs at the Security and Exchange Commission,” it said.
It is perhaps the first time in Nigeria’s history that the two chambers of the legislature have jointly moved against a supposedly indicted official explicitly terminating formal relations with such an official.
The House of Representatives had set up an ad-hoc committee to look into the challenges confronting the smooth running of the commission.
Although the investigation was almost marred by allegations of bribery, the committee called for her sack.
However, the executive recalled Ms Oteh from suspension instead.
The House of Representatives had on September 18 announced that it will no longer recognize Ms Oteh as DG of SEC, and urged her immediate removal.
The lawmakers insisted President Jonathan must fire the SEC boss in line with an earlier position of the House; failure of which legislators will cease to accord her any recognition as the commission’s Director General, DG.
The unprecedented order, indicating an ambitious attempt by the House to ensure executive compliance with its frequently ignored resolutions, was seen by observers as a fresh chapter in a running controversy between the lawmakers and Ms. Oteh.
Ms. Oteh, who was entangled in an elaborate bribery scandal against some lawmakers early this year, was amongst officials indicted by the House investigation of the nation’s fledgling capital market in July.
She had accused the capital market committee, headed then by the Herman Hembe, of soliciting a N44 million bribe, setting off a string of controversies that lasted months.
Mr. Hembe was forced to resign as the committee head, not before accusing Ms. Oteh of attempting to bribe the committee with N30 million.
An ad hoc committee named as a replacement, headed by Ibrahim El Sudi, found Ms. Oteh, earlier accused of embarking on frivolous spending spree, guilty of a range of irregularities and demanded her removal.
The recommendation was rejected by the Federal Government which immediately reinstated Ms. Oteh from a month-old suspension.
The controversies continued for the embattled DG with the commission’s staff rejecting her leadership and repeatedly staging protests to seek her removal.The House said on Tuesday, in a motion sponsored by Nicholas Ossai, it stood by its decision and criticized the president for his penchant for disobeying resolutions emanating from the National Assembly.

Kanye — no one would have pegged you for a modern-day Romeo before your elaborate proposal to Kim Kardashian. But now, in an astounding new interview, you’re proving to be a role model for marriage, monogamy and family — good for you!
Kanye West — President Obama may have once called you a “jackass,” but I bet he’ll be changing his tune soon now that you’ve spoken out about your commitment to being a devoted dad and a great husband for life!
Kanye West: Role Model For Romance — New Family With Kim Kardashian Is So Sweet
Kanye, who would have thought until recently that you’d turn into such a romantic mushball? “I feel like our love story is like, a love story for the ages,” you told NYC’s Hot 97 radio station on Nov. 25, while your fiancee, Kim Kardashian, sat by your side. “I feel like when we first got together, it was like a Romeo and Juliet kind of thing.”
Kanye — it’s so sweet that you’re comparing yourself and Kim to Romeo and Juliet. Though you obviously don’t come from families who are at war, I think what you’re trying to convey is how deeply in love you are with Kim, which is a wonderful sentiment.
In fact, you also said in the interview that you fell in love with Kim at first sight. “I loved her from the first day I saw her,” you told the radio station. “I knew, 100 percent [that she was the one] … I knew what I wanted. I knew I wanted this family.”
Now Kanye, no one would have predicted that you’d become a happy and satisfied family man before you became involved with Kim. You appeared to be more focused on your career and on being a ladies’ man. But the fact is that you’re a role model for millions of young men, and you’re now speaking out boldly about the joys of marriage, love and being a dad.
You will be a great, positive influence on many men who might have thought it wasn’t so cool to commit.
Kanye West — Kim Kardashian Is ‘Wifey For Life’
And you’re not just committing — you’re committing for life! “You’re wifey for life,” you told Kim, in front of the Hot 97 interviewer. Kanye — committing is, of course, what you should be doing when you propose marriage and conceive a child. But unfortunately, we all know how many men (and women, for that matter) commit for the moment, but when the going gets tough — they get going.
Having a star as prominent as you, Kanye, going public with your intention to marry for life reinforces the value of marriage.
It’s also impressive that you discussed how compromise is important when you love someone and you want to make that relationship work.
You revealed that you allowed your engagement proposal to be filmed by a crew from Keeping Up with the Kardashians, even though your personal desire was to keep the moment private. “I made sure the show was there because I felt like that’s something that would make her happy,” you said about Kim. “When you’re in a relationship, you start making sacrifices of what you think is cool, and not cool, and you just let it go.”
Kanye — that’s so true.
You’ve recognized that building a relationship isn’t like producing an album. When you’re recording, it’s all about having a personal vision that you follow through with until it’s perfect. But in a marriage, it will only be successful if you’re thinking for two, not one, and you’re willing to let go of perfection, and compromise.
Kanye, at HollywoodLife.com, we’re impressed by your love leadership and we bet President Obama would be, too.
HollywoodLifers, do you think Kanye has become a true romance role model? Let me know!
— Bonnie Fuller

2013 was a great year for new cameras. There were full frame mirrorless shooters which can rival all but the very best DSLRs, compacts good enough to make you leave your smartphone in your pocket, and DSLRs which can shoot better video than they've ever been able to. Join Gizmag as we take a look back at some of our favorite cameras of 2013.
Sony Alpha 7
The biggest camera release of 2013 was a surprisingly small pair of cameras, the Sony A7 and A7R. This mirrorless interchangeable lens duo manage to squeeze full frame sensors (and the associated image quality) into devices which are not only smaller than their full frame DSLR counterparts, but in many cases mirrorless cameras with less impressive sensor dimensions.
The Sony A7 only features a 24.3 megapixel sensor, compared to the 36.4 megapixel one in the A7R. However, because it's faster in terms of autofocus and burst speed shooting, as well as being cheaper (US$1,700 compared to $2,300), it's a better bet for most photographers. Both devices also feature goodies like built-in Wi-Fi capability and tilting screens.
The Nikon Df could be the DSLR for those of us who remember, and possibly over romanticize, shooting with film SLRs. It puts photography square and center by shunning video recording while featuring physical access to manual controls via mechanical dials. Its retro-inspired design (if you don't look at the back) and use of magnesium alloy delivers a package which looks and feels reminiscent of SLRs of old.
However, the Df isn't all old-school. Inside there's the same impressive 16.2-megapixel FX sensor as the flagship D4, the Nikon EXPEED 3 image processing engine and a 39-point autofocus system. The $2,800 Df also boasts the same level weather-sealing at the D800 and is compatible with the optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter.
In 2012 Leica announced that the successor to the M9 would drop the number and simply be known as a the Leica M, and this year the camera was finally released … instantly prompting the sort of gear-lust in photographers that only a new Leica is capable of inciting.
The first Leica rangefinder to use a CMOS sensor, Live View and shoot Full HD video, the new M, which costs $7,000, has been described by many as the best performing digital Leica yet. And it's not too bad in the looks department either, even Jony Ive and Marc Newson struggled to improve on it.
Olympus OM-D E-M1
The mirrorless Olympus OM-D E-M1 was somewhat overshadowed by the full frame sensor in the Sony A7, because it costs almost as much and only features a relatively small Micro Four Thirds 16 megapixel sensor. But the E-M1 is a powerhouse that can deliver the goods for most photographers in terms of both image quality and performance.
Ergonomically, it handles better in the hand than most other mirrorless cameras and bulkier DSLRs. The E-M1 also has a fast and effective autofocus which is capable of keeping up with most subjects and built-in Wi-Fi capabilities. When paired with a good lens, of which there are plenty of MFT options, it can produce fantastic images. Because the smaller sensor only needs smaller lenses it's easier on the back when carrying it around too.
Canon EOS 70D
While you can shoot great quality video with most DSLRs, the one thing that consistently lets them down is a stuttering autofocus. The Canon EOS 70D was released in 2013 with the aim of changing that by adopting Dual Pixel CMOS AF which makes video and Live View focusing faster and smoother. Given how well this technology has been received we'd expect to see this in other Canon DSLRs in 2014.
In addition to its video credentials, the Canon EOS 70D is also a solid performing photographic DSLR which features a 20.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, a 19-point (all cross-type) phase detection AF system and a burst speed of 7 fps. It also has wireless connectivity built-in, enabling the sharing of images and remote shooting via iOS or Android smartphones or tablets.
The Sony RX10 could well be the best bridge camera ever made. The product category is normally one defined by compromise – bridge cameras offer a great focal range, but this is normally at the cost of image quality because they use variable maximum aperture lenses and small sensors.
The Sony RX10 changes this by adopting a 20.2 megapixel one-inch type sensor combined with a constant F2.8 aperture zoom lens, offering a 35-mm-format focal range equivalent to 24-200 mm. The camera also boasts Full HD video recording, Wi-Fi and NFC for easy pairing. The only drawback is that to accomplish all of this, the camera had to be bigger, heavier and, at $1,300, more expensive than many other bridge cameras..
One of the long-standing promises of mirrorless cameras was that they would be much smaller than their DSLR counterparts. The Panasonic Lumix GM1 certainly delivers. While it might not have the same power and controls as the Lumix GX7, it is truly tiny, measuring just 98.5 x 54.9 x 30.4 mm (3.88 x 2.16 x 1.2 in).
With a pancake prime it's a (just about) pocketable camera to be reckoned with, though with larger lenses can feel a bit unbalanced despite a sturdy magnesium-alloy shell with aluminum dials. The Panasonic GM1 also has built-in Wi-Fi for sharing images and video, as well as remote shooting via an iOS or Android devices.
The Fujifilm X100 is sometimes referred to as the camera which sparked the retro revolution when it was revealed in 2010 … and with those retro good-looks and quality fixed focal length lens, it's not hard to see why. So it was no surprise that when, in 2013, Fujifilm updated the device with the X100S, the company didn't alter much to the way that it looks.
Things that did change include the pairing of a 16.3 megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor with the 23-mm F2 lens for capturing more detail and better low-light performance. Autofocus speed and performance also received a much requested boost in the new camera.
Fujifilm isn't the only company competing in the large-sensor fixed-lens category. Notable additions in 2013 were the release of the Nikon Coolpix A and the Ricoh GR, which has a respected lineage which goes back to classic film street shooters and is designed for easy single-handed operation.
Despite featuring a DSLR-like APS-C sensor, the Ricoh GR retains its discrete compact-like appearance, unless you want to add the optional optical viewfinder. A fixed 18.3-mm F2.8 lens means the camera also keeps the same 28-mm focal length (35-mm-format equivalent) as previous generations, though it also has a 35-mm equivalent crop mode, too.
Sony RX100 M2
The Sony RX100 was one of the best cameras in 2012. It offered a level of image quality not normally seen in compact cameras – thanks to a one-inch-type sensor – while at the same time remaining pocketable. It was a compelling reason to own a compact camera in addition to your smartphone.
But, just in case that wasn't enough, Sony updated the camera in 2013 with the Sony RX100 M2, and surprisingly it was a substantial upgrade. The addition of Wi-Fi and NFC capabilities, a tilting screen and a more sensitive sensor make the M2 an even better reason to leave your smartphone in your pocket when you want to take a photo.
Summing up and looking forward...
We've highlighted our favorite cameras from the past 12 months, but there have been so many good releases that we couldn't include them all. We're sure you'll have your own recommendations, and we'd love to know what they are, and why, via the comments.
Though there were some great cameras released in 2013, several product categories were either ignored, or weren't due their scheduled updates. For those, 2014 could be a big year. Key announcements are likely to include updates to flagships, with the Nikon D4 rumored to be getting its mid-life upgrade very soon. It's also thought that flagship APS-C sensor DSLRs could get some long overdue love with replacements for the Nikon D300S and Canon 7D.
We also expect to see better and more powerful mirrorless cameras which attempt to make DSLRs irrelevant. This year the Sony A7 and Olympus OM-D E-M1 have given us more proof, if it were needed, that the future of interchangeable lens cameras is going to be a mirrorless one. And we can't wait to see what's on offer this time next year.
Wireless capabilities and integration with smartphones have already become the norm for new cameras, but we're curious to see if anyone else takes the Sony route of external camera-in-a-lens devices to give smartphone cameras a boost, or whether smartphone cameras will improve to a point that makes certain camera types pointless.Share
