i've also always loved the architecture of the saltair, and i remember being way disappointed as a kid that it wasn't a full-blown palace with elegant rooms and secret passageways on the inside. instead, it's just kindof drab. on the inside. and smells like, well, the lake. and we all know what that's like.
but i still like it. i think the bracelet perfectly represents the antique quality of the place. imagine what it would've been like back in it's hey-day?
this is awesome. My family has roadtripped to Utah many many times and that was always my favorite thing to look at.
And Sutro Baths in SF is really cool, also. Definitely worth checking out if you're ever in the area.
This is beautiful... I have been totally inspired to make one for my hometown, Birmingham, England.
Also, soooo totally voted for you.
When I went cross country, Saltair was one of the places I had to stop at both for the nostalgic history and for the macabre since Carnival of Souls was filmed there.
This totally rocks. So I clickied it.
Another Utah crafter! I love the bracelet. Did you know the Pixies wrote a song about Saltair? It's called "Palace of the Brine" | 2019-04-24T05:03:59 | https://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=231903.10 |

After I watched Collatz Conjecture in Color - Numberphile, I was inspired to try visualizing the Collatz Conjecture myself. I was also keen to finally try out some Houdini!
I first tried to generate the strands using a VEX Detail Wrangle node, but unfortunately the VEX compiler crashed when I wanted to make use of arrays in structs. I instead used the Python node inside the Geometry SOP to generate the tree. Below are the results!
Thanks to Numberphile for the inspiration and @pixelkram for showing me some of the Mantra renderer features. | 2019-04-21T23:59:30 | https://www.niklasrosenstein.com/post/2017-04-25-collatz-conjecture/ |

Reforesting Africa’s highest mountain could ease East Africa’s severe water shortages, according to a new report from the UN environment agency. Vital water supplies across large parts of East Africa are now under threat from cliamte change.
Climate change has already destroyed 13,000 hectares of forests on Mt. Kilimanjaro since 1976. This is equivalent to cutting off one year’s supply of drinking water for one million people, explains the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
According to its recent report Sustainable Mountain Development in East Africa in a Changing Climate, the loss of Mt. Kilimanjaro’s forests could trigger water crises as rivers begin to dry up across the region due to climate change.
As temperatures rise, the number of wildfires on the mountain will grow, accelerating the destruction of even more forests. And as there are now fewer trees to trap water from the clouds, the annual amount of dew on the mountain has fallen by around 25 per cent.
Mt. Kilimanjaro’s forests are a vital source of water for the surrounding towns and wider region, and they feed into major waterways to provide food, fuel and building materials to much of East Africa.
Protecting the mountain ecosystem would also help safeguard the region’s vital tourism industry. Mt. Kilimanjaro contributes over one third of Tanzania’s total revenue from tourism.
East Africa is expected to experience an average increase in annual temperature of 3.2 degrees Celsius by 2080, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The region has already been hard hit by climate change. Since the 1990s, the surface area of glaciers on East Africa’s mountains has decreased by 80 per cent, and the glaciers are expected to vanish completely within a few decades as temperatures continue to rise. | 2019-04-22T13:07:51 | https://www.successfulgreen.com/un-calls-to-reforest-kilimanjaro/ |
Audi has revealed its first standalone electric model, the e-tron quattro SUV.
In typical Audi fashion, the e-tron quattro takes many cues from the 2015 concept of the same name. Up front, there’s a large, grey grille, surrounded by full LED headlights with e-tron-specific daytime-running-lights and Q3-esque lower intakes and styling elements. The side profile resembles a mini Q8 with a muscular shoulder line, while at the rear there’s a full-length LED taillight and a sculptural design. Other visual elements include 19-inch aerodynamic alloy wheels running on low resistance Goodyear Eagle 255/55 tyres.
The e-tron quattro measures in at 4901mm long, 1935mm wide and 1606mm tall with a 2928mm wheelbase – that’s just 238mm longer, 37mm wider and 51mm lower than a midsize Audi Q5.
Powering the e-tron quattro is a 95kWh lithium-ion battery connected to two electric motors (one at each axle). It produces 300kW of power and 660Nm of torque, and can hit 100km/h from a standstill in less than 6.0 seconds. The battery pack and low drag coefficient help to deliver a 400km range on the WLTP test cycle.
Three charging options are available for the new e-tron. Using the standard-fit 11kW charger, it can be charged from 0 to 100 per cent in 8.5 hours – that time can be reduced using the optional 22kW charger that will be available from 2019. For those wanting a quicker charge, 150kW public DC fast-charging stations can boost the e-tron to 80 per cent charge in less than 30 minutes.
Inside, the e-tron quattro looks a lot like the latest Audi flagships such as the A6, A7 and A8. In the centre of the dash are two touchscreens – the 10.1-inch top screen controls infotainment functions like radio and navigation, while the 8.6-inch bottom screen handles air conditioning, heated seats and other climate control functions. In front of the driver there’s Audi’s Virtual Cockpit digital instrument cluster, with new e-tron-specific displays.
The e-tron is the first European car to launch with mirror cameras – rear-facing cameras replace traditional glass mirrors, with the output of the camera displayed on two screens on the door cards on each side of the car.
The e-tron is practical too, with the boot measuring in at 660 litres with the rear seats up and the under-floor compartment open – folding down the second row expands that to 1725 litres. Audi claims the e-tron quattro provides class-leading space for passengers and cargo – that’s helped by a flat floor thanks to the lack of a transmission tunnel.
Safety is aplenty in the new e-tron. Available features include autonomous emergency braking, 360-degree camera, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with lane keep assist and traffic jam assist, traffic sign recognition and an automated parking assistant.
The Audi e-tron quattro will make its public debut at the Paris motor show next month, with a European market release scheduled for the end of 2018 – no Australian details have been announced yet. It will be produced at the four ring brand’s electric-vehicle factory in Brussels. | 2019-04-23T14:27:35 | https://redlinecars.com.au/2018/09/18/2019-audi-e-tron-quattro-unveiled/ |
AFTER a successful Press and Practice day Stoke finally get their season underway with the Pride of the Potteries individual meeting at Loomer Road on Saturday night, 7pm.
Sixteen riders will compete over 20-heats for the title with Championship riders Josh Bates and former Potter Ben Barker being amongst the favourites as will be another former Stoke rider in Max Clegg who has started his campaign well with the Newcastle Diamonds in the Championship and he will also ride in the National League with Cradley. Clegg was rider of the year for the Potters last season and was virtually unbeatable in the closing stages of the season and will be another contender along with the likes of Ellis Perks who rides the Loomer Road track well as does late replacement Joe Lawlor who is currently unattached and looking for a team for the new season and can be a real spoiler on his day as can be Cheshire based Jack Smith. | 2019-04-23T02:06:52 | http://stoke-speedway.com/news.php?extend.1239 |

Hey y’all! I went to Dillard’s yesterday and found the most amazeballs pair of chucks on clearance for only $27! They were also an extra 30% off. I swear I love a Dillard’s sale. I used to never shop there until a few years ago when I started going to the New Year’s Day sale. I swear I hope they’re not about to go out of business because every few months they’re having an extra percentage off clearance sale.
I also found a pair of jeans and a shirt and only paid about $60 for everything.
I’ve been wanting a pair of chucks, but I know I won’t wear them often, so I just wasn’t pressed about buying them. But when I saw these sparkle ones I had to have them! I also never understood the sizing, but you have to get them a full size smaller. These are a 5.5 and I usually get a 6.5 in sneakers.
Go to Dillard’s y’all. Especially during the sales! | 2019-04-23T09:53:43 | https://beingkindra.com/2018/05/05/sparkle-chucks/ |

"Wonderful professional group - very attentive to my needs, working hard under sometimes under the unattainable while understanding the importance of retention, compensation and personality fit." | 2019-04-20T20:58:07 | http://www.wwwork.com/corporate/about_us/clients_description.asp?cid=C844C379-3AF5-4C35-8F16-10CD60467B43 |
Rotoscoping is a visual effects technique that can be performed on photographs in Adobe Photoshop. It involves cutting a subject out of an original photograph, and then replacing that background with a new one. It's a somewhat tedious task to perform, but if it's done right, the results can be powerful. You can use this technique to create a convincing image that never really existed, like a UFO flying over a neighborhood.
So, you've searched far and wide and you found two photographs that you're going to use for the rotoscope effect. Open the photo that has your subject, the UFO, in it. There are two tools that you can use in Photoshop to cut the UFO out. The 'Magic Lasso' tool would be very fast at performing the task, but it isn't always accurate and could cut off some of the subject. It could easily get messy and require that you start the process over again.
A safer bet is to use the 'Pen' tool. Zoom in on your image and take your time with the pen tool to cut the image out, while preserving every detail. When you rush you make mistakes, and mistakes look sloppy. Take your time and produce quality work.
Once you have cut the image out go to 'Paths' tab, then right click (command click) and choose 'Make Selection'. Leave the feathering at one pixel. Next, go back to the 'Layers' tab and hit 'Control' + 'J' to create a new layer with your cut out subject in it.
Before you rotoscope, you want to make sure that the subject is ready for this effect. Click on the new layer to view the subject on a transparent background. If part of the old background is still present, then use the 'Eraser' tool to get rid of it.
Open the file for the background in Photoshop and have the photograph be in it's own separate window. Go back to the photo with your subject, and make sure that the cut out layer is selected. Click on the subject and drag it into the new photo. It will be it's own layer.
The subject probably will not look like it naturally belongs in the photo at this point. Because you dragged it into this new photo, it will be its own layer. There are a variety of effects and filters that can be applied to the subject to make it blend in. | 2019-04-26T15:41:04 | http://www.steves-digicams.com/knowledge-center/how-tos/photo-software/applying-a-rotoscoping-effect-in-photoshop.html |
In a bit of Friday afternoon news, TechCrunch reports that Apple plans to buy Shazam, the company behind the popular audio identification software and app. Apparently, the site’s sources indicate the deal could be announced Monday, but it’s quick to note the timing on these things isn’t always solid. As you can imagine, rumored terms of the deal, including a sale price, aren’t reliable just yet. The acquisition would give Apple ownership of the music, TV and movie identifying tech and a group of features it could easily take advantage of with its own products.
Of course, Shazam already works on both iOS and OS X. The song ID feature was added to iPhones (through Siri) with iOS 8 and it hit the desktop back in 2014. Shazam also goes to work on much more than phones and PCs. Most recently, the music discovery tech was added to Samsung smart TVs. The company also has a background listening toolthat’s always ready to recognize a song or audio clip. Sounds like a good feature for a smart speaker, eh?
Shazam does more than just audio identification, too. In 2015, the company began recognizing packaged goods, books, magazines and other merchandise — another area Apple would likely be interested in improving its own offerings. We’ve reached out to Apple for comment on the report and we’ll update this post if we hear back.
Update: Bloomberg is also reporting that a deal could be announced as soon as Monday. | 2019-04-24T20:34:23 | https://www.macjournal.org/apple-reportedly-buying-shazam-music-identification-tech/ |
Google Photos is really good at recognizing people in a photo and grouping their pics together. It's one feature I've come to rely on to find all the photos I have of specific friends or family members and even photos of "person X and person Y and person Z" together. But there were still a couple of small things missing from Photos' facial recognition like the option to manually tag a person in a pic or the ability to see who Google had recognized in a photo from the photo itself, not their dedicated page.
But the latter is now implemented. Actually, it was implemented at some point in the last few versions: I can confirm that it wasn't there in 2.10.0.148909749 but it is live in 2.12.0.151124741, so it was added to Photos sometime between March 13 and 30.
One of the features we've been expecting WhatsApp to add is the support for mentions in group conversations. That way, not only you would be able to quote someone or some specific message, you'd also be able to directly address a contact inside a group to get their attention. This feature is now live in the latest WhatsApp beta v2.16.272.
When you're in a group chat, try typing the symbol @ and you'll get a list of all the participants in that chat. You can tap any of them or just type the first letters of anyone's name and it'll narrow down to them.
Google Photos may have started as a part of Google+, but since splitting into a standalone product, it has to move quickly to introduce new features and improvements to keep users engaged. The latest update to v1.5 didn't bring any visible changes to the app, but it does include evidence of some interesting changes we can look forward to in upcoming releases.
Since the launch of Android 5.0 last month, the sheer number of app updates has been magnificent – and downright overwhelming. Believe it or not, most of the new versions haven't done much more than add Lollipop support and splash a fresh coat of Materialized paint on the UIs. Seriously, we've been checking. This isn't entirely a bad thing, as it's giving me time to work on some other projects... You'll see soon enough <wink>. But, we've finally got something to talk about with the latest release of Google Play services 6.5. Strictly speaking, a few of tidbits to follow were actually first seen in different minor releases of 6.1, but we're putting it all together here.
Google has just announced its second new app in one day, releasing Google My Business to the Play Store. With the goal of "helping your business shine," My Business offers smart insights for your Google-connected business. From Google+ page insights to the ability to update your company's information, My Business helps you find and connect with "your people."
The app offers insights on your business' appearance in search, how users interact with you on Google+, and how you're displayed in services like search and Maps, with the option to update your information any time. My Business also has quick access to your Google+ page for quick business-related sharing on the go.
A new "People" section has popped up inside the Android Play Store app, and it doesn't require an update to hop into (we're still using 4.6.17). This corner of the market will point you towards other Android users, particularly those in your circles, and offer a look at what apps and content they're using. The area is accessible right from the app's sidebar, and it's significantly glossier than the similar "From familiar faces" section of the Play Store's home page.
The feature integrates with Google+, pushing you to follow users or view their full profiles. Within the Play Store app, the focus is entirely on content.
Perhaps the most time-saving key on the Android keyboard is the microphone, but using it is more hassle than it's worth when certain words just refuse to be recognized. More often than not, these words are contact names. Luckily, there is a way to trick your phone into recognizing even the most tongue-twisting of names. If you're tired of your phone turning "Demonte Jones" into "Demon's bones," just teach it to recognize the latter as the former. Granted, this might be a problem when you're texting a friend the location of a secret item in your favorite MMORPG.
Open up the People app and find your desired contact.
In its latest update (to version 1.17) though, the app underwent a bit of beautification, bringing it closer to a true holo standard. The redesign isn't perfect, but it's undeniably better.
File this one under How did Google not have a test for this? Got a birthday or anniversary in December? Sorry - Android 4.2 doesn't know what December is. Well, rather the People/Contacts app that comes stock and is part of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) doesn't. Wait... what?
We couldn't believe it either, but it's true. Google forgot to include December. As in, there are 11 months in a year. January after November. Christmas is ruined. Santa is dead. At least we'll save money on buying presents, right?
We verified this on a Nexus 7 and a Nexus 10 running 4.2. | 2019-04-19T16:19:32 | https://www.androidpolice.com/tags/people/ |

Shankh in Brass, Buy Blowing Shankha in Brass online from India.
Shankha's significance is traced to the nomadic times of the animists who used the sound emanating from this unique shell to drive away evil demons of whom they were scared. This shankha made in heavy shining brass.
Very rare metal shankh that can be blown.
The shankha is a sacred emblem used as a trumpet in Hindu ritual,and in the past was used as a war trumpet.The shankha is praised in Hindu scriptures as a giver of fame,longevity and prosperity,the cleanser of sin and the abode of Lakshmi,who is the goddess of wealth and consort of Vishnu.As a symbol of water,it is associated with female fertility and serpents (Nagas).
Shankha's significance is traced to the nomadic times of the animists who used the sound emanating from this unique shell to drive away evil demons of whom they were scared. Over the centuries,the shankha was adopted as one of the divine symbols of Hinduism.Brahma Vaivarta Purana recalls the creation of conchs:Lord Shiva flung a trident towards the demons, burning them instantaneously.Their ashes flew in the sea creating conchs.
The sound of the shankha symbolises the sacred Om sound.Vishnu holding the conch represents him as the god of sound.Brahma Vaivarta Purana declares that shankha is the residence of both Lakshmi and Vishnu, bathing by the waters led through a shankha is considered as like bathing with all holy waters at once. Sankha Sadma Purana declares that bathing an image of Vishnu with cow milk is as virtuous as performing a million yajnas (fire sacrifices),and bathing Vishnu with Ganges river water frees one from the cycle of births.It further says "while the mere sight of the conch (shankha) dispels all sins as the Sun dispels the fog, why talk of its worship?"Padma Purana asserts the same effect of bathing Vishnu by Ganges water and milk and further adds doing so avoids evil,pouring water from a shankha on one's own head before a Vishnu image is equivalent to bathing in the pious Ganges river. | 2019-04-20T11:03:46 | https://www.vedicvaani.com/shankha-in-brass |
Although the patient-centered or family-centered medical home is widely recommended, its value in improving clinical outcomes or reducing health care costs remains to be demonstrated. Medical homes are potentially the most cost-effective for high-risk patients, particularly high-risk children with chronic illness whose care is often fragmented, costly, and ineffective.
“With the inadequate current payments for outpatient pediatric care and the necessity to restrain health care spending, the payments required to develop and sustain such medical homes may not be forthcoming unless they are shown to improve outcomes with minimal or no increase in costs,” the authors write.
Ricardo A. Mosquera, M.D., of the University of Texas Medical School, Houston, and colleagues randomly assigned 201 high-risk children with chronic illness to receive comprehensive care (n = 105; included treatment from primary care clinicians and specialists in the same clinic with multiple features to promote prompt effective care) or usual care (n = 96; provided locally in private offices or faculty-supervised clinics without modification).
Patients were defined as high-risk with chronic illness if they had three or more emergency department visits, two or more hospitalizations, or one or more pediatric intensive care unit admissions during the previous year, and a greater than 50 percent estimated risk for hospitalization. The children were treated at a high-risk clinic at the University of Texas in Houston.
Comprehensive care (or enhanced medical home), compared to usual care, reduced the number of children with a serious illness (by 55 percent) and total hospital and clinic costs ($16,523 vs. $26,781 per child-year respectively). Rates were also reduced for emergency department visits, hospitalizations, number of days in the hospital, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and days in the ICU.
“In this randomized clinical trial, the triple aim of improved care, improved health, and lower costs was achieved in an enhanced medical home providing comprehensive care to high- risk children with chronic illness compared with usual care,” the authors write.
James M. Perrin, M.D., of Harvard Medical School and MassGeneral Hospital for Children, Boston, writes in an accompanying editorial 2 that lessons from this study and the dual-eligible accountable care organizations can inform the development of medical home programs for patients with complex conditions. | 2019-04-22T12:42:50 | http://www.bankixsystems.com/newsletters/newsletter/1520095/94264.htm |

This is a quick reference guide I originally wrote on May 29, 2007 regarding the different CRTs in compact Macs. I am posting it here so it can bolster our knowledge base. Having worked inside of dozens of compacts, I became quite familiar with the CRTs used and the variations between the tubes and boards used in the 1984-1993 black and white machines. I have done some updates to the original post.
The Macintosh 128K, 512K, Plus, and variations of those machines used the same CRT, which was typically manufactured by Clinton (a Taiwan-based company), although LCGuy found a Samsung in a 128K a few years back. Samsungs seem to be the definite minority here. Early Macs use Connector Type A (see below).
The SE, SE/30, and variations of those machines used the same CRT. Many were manufactured by Clinton but Samsung (based in Korea) made a number of CRTs for these machines as well. There has also been one example of a Toshiba CRT found in an SE manufactured in late 1987. SEs use Connector Type A (see below).
The analog board design for the Macintosh Classic changed sometime in the first half of 1991. The original is referred to as Revision A on most parts lists. It used Connector Type A (see below). Sometime around the spring of 1991, Classics began to roll off the assembly line with Revision B boards installed. These persisted throughout the Classic II series and were produced until the demise of the line in 1993.
Of the CRTs with a Type B connector, the vast majority are Clinton-produced. Samsungs are less common and, for some reason, seem more prevalent in Classic IIs.
I term the connectors Type A and Type B after the analog boards they are used with. Connector Type A is clear and relatively boxy. It fits itself into another clear plastic connector on the analog board. To remove it, one must hold in on a tab on the side of the connector. Connector Type B, on the other hand, is white and significantly smaller. The connector isn't bulky and is slightly rounded around the edges. It has four holes on its end and fits over four pins. Type A connectors are the same as those found in pre-Classic Macs.
These two display types are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.
It is entirely possible to swap out the analog board and CRT between older and newer Classics. A Classic II will work fine with a donor board and CRT from a Type A Classic.
Since many good machines these days are built from combining other computers, be sure to actually open the Mac to check the analog board, even on a Classic II.
NOTE: All Classic notes assume original CRT and analog board.
There is no functional difference between the two, although Samsungs tend to have a different hue of white to them than their Clinton counterparts; it seems the slightest bit bluer to the very observant human eye if put side by side. Clintons were made in Taiwan, Samsungs in Korea.
In April 2013, I bought a Macintosh SE which appeared extremely ordinary on the outside. Inside, I was in for a surprise. The CRT was neither a Clinton nor a Samsung, but a Toshiba. The circle of red paint around the anode cap was far greater in diameter than either a Clinton or a Samsung. The CRT had model number E2728B4-TCOISDHT and was manufactured in Japan.
I believe this CRT to be either a replacement or a short-lived deal if supplies from Clinton or Samsung were low. Functionally, the Toshiba CRT is identical to the Clinton/Samsung in every aspect.
WHY THE SWITCH BETWEEN ANALOG BOARDS?
Another theory is that Apple wanted to use up older connectors from Pluses and SEs. The SE was actually still in production through the first few weeks of 1991 despite having been formally discontinued (I once had an SE with a 1991 date to verify this and have seen several other SEs from January 1991). They may have been in production to use up older parts. At the same time, Apple was still producing the SE/30. Since the SE/30 was going to be on its way out and replaced by a more cost-effective machine (the Classic II), Apple may have been using up parts like the CRT connectors on the SE with the eventual intent to switch to the newer design, which is believed to have been cheaper.
The short answer: it won't fit.
The long answer: modify like none other.
Good to have this here as well. But yeah - my 128k is back at my parents place up in Queensland, provided I fly home for Christmas this year I'll pull the back off and get a pic.
Very nice, love the write-up. I try to learn new stuff every day, it's great to start doing it more here!
I'll snap some pics of that Toshiba CRT next time I'm at my mom's place where it's currently being stored. | 2019-04-19T16:35:31 | http://thinkclassic.org/viewtopic.php?id=177 |
What does “nutritious” mean to you?
According to a study published in the journal Nutrients, the word “nutritious” has a very different meaning depending on whether you’re a nutritionist or a consumer. In the study, nutrition experts and lay people provided definitions of the term “nutritious” and evaluated the “nutritiousness” of 20 different snack foods in a cross-sectional survey. Expert and lay definitions differed considerably, with experts using terms such as nutrient-density, macro- and micronutrients, kilojoules/calories. Consumers used words like fuel, fresh, natural, body needs, and functioning. The study results show the need for an agreed definition of the terms and potential regulation of “nutritious.” How do you define nutritious? | 2019-04-23T13:57:57 | https://www.philips.com/a-w/myheartisunique/articles/what-does-nutritious-mean-you.html |

YORK COUNTY, Pa. – The York County Industrial Development Authority (YCIDA) announced today that it has sold the Harley-Davidson West Campus, the original site of the York plant, to NorthPoint Development.
The YCIDA purchased the 58 acre property in 2012 as part of Pennsylvania’s strategy to retain Harley-Davidson in the Commonwealth. The site’s location, accessibility and high profile made it an important redevelopment project for the county.
NorthPoint has submitted Land development plans to Springettsbury Township to develop a 750,000 sf industrial building. The $40 million project will be built as a speculative project as NorthPoint works to site a tenant for the property.
“NorthPoint’s investment in York County was premised on the strong transportation and logistics network, along with a strong skilled workforce in the area. From the beginning, we were impressed with the work of the YCIDA and their ability to make this transaction happen. As an organization we believe that capital goes where it is welcome, and we felt welcomed by the YCIDA and all the other governmental entities in the area. We look forward to a successful project that will provide positive economic development for the community,” stated Larry Lapinski, Vice President of Development for NorthPoint Development.
The YCIDA is a governmental entity that champions redevelopment projects within York County. Projects of note include the creation of three industrial parks, Santander Stadium, Marketview Arts and the Harley-Davidson West Campus redevelopment project.

Not the best thing i have bought from this company.
The first time I used this it was quite nice. I have arthritis in my hip and it is bone on bone so I have a lot of pain. I thought this may help and it did the first and second time I used it. But after that the Velcro didn't hold anymore. It fits perfectly so it wasn't size its just that the Velcro isn't that good. Not something I would buy again. And its too bad because it really did help.
Not easy to figure out how it goes on as it comes flat with no instructions. Not even a photo.

I purchased this item for an elderly relative to help with pain and support.
to see if it will help me and my pain.
For the Hip Protector 348852. At what point do I measure, around the leg (inner thigh) or around the pelvis (lower waist)?
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. The hip measurement should be taken around your pelvis/lower waist. We hope this information will be of help to you.
i weight 90lbs will a small fit ?
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. This item should be ordered by your hip size. Small (fits hip sizes 30"–40"), Medium (fits hips 40"–50") or Large (fits hips 50"–60"). We hope this information will be of help to you.

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. This item can be returned within our 45 day return policy. You will want to measure your hip to know what size to order. We hope this information will be of help to you.

BEST ANSWER: It has some stretch, but doesn't stretch once you set the Velcro to the tightness you want. I found it to be very supportive when I had hip pain I wore it all day, especially when walking my dog. I wore it over my clothes.
It is adjustable, velcro, and is somewhat streachy. A little less streach than other hip supports I have had.
What colors do it come in ?
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. The hip protector comes in black. We hope this information will be of help to you.

Yes. It can be used for either hip.

BEST ANSWER: Specifically NO. But it will give support to the hip and definitely help keep it from further injury. It is a support item and fairly comfortable. Good luck.
No it will not. This is not a brace! It just provides compression.
Does this run true to size? If I am 40" which size would be the best - does this run small or large or true to size?
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. As 40" is in between two sizes we suggest to buy the size you feel will be most comfortable. The small will be tighter compared to the medium will be looser. We hope this information will be of help to you.
I think it would be helpful to know what the circumference of the thigh a person has as to whether it will be a tight fit or a loose fit. In other words how big of a thigh will fit comfortably and snuggly into a small vs. a medium.
I exchange it for a large and have not gotten it yet but to me they runs small in the leg area.
can this be used after after hip surgery?
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. We suggest you ask your doctor. We hope this information will be of help to you.
how can one pick a size?
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. The Hip Protector comes in three sizes the Small fits hip sizes 30"–40", the Medium fits hips 40"–50", and the Large fits hips 50"–60". We hope this information will be of help to you. | 2019-04-19T19:40:29 | https://www.easycomforts.com/buy-hip-protector-348852 |

I expect to soon have a limited number of fresh, viable seeds of Cyrtosperma cuspidispathum for distribution. Let me begin by letting you know that this plant does NOT tollerate ANY cold, lower than 65 deg. F., or even above that but w/ a little wind, goodby! It likes temps. of 80-90 degs.F. all year, it also must be grown in partial shade in a protected place with little or no wind, it will also tear its huge, beautiful leaves apart in any kind of breeze. This is perhaps the most attractive and one of the largest species in the genus Cyrtosperma, plants can reach around 2.5 mts (7 ft +-) tall, it bears a meter-long narrow, all-black spathe. It is the cover-illustration on Dr. A Hay`s wonderful book (available from the IAS), Aroids of Papua New Guinea, and is also shown (leaf) in a couple color photos within the book.
PLEASE don`t ask for seed if you feel you do not have the conditions necessary for growing this plant. The parent plant is from wild-collected seed from Panang, collected by a Australian friend Arden Dearden, seed grown to an adult, now-fruiting plant by another friend here in Florida.
If you receive no packet, it will be because of the limited number of seed I may recieve. Again, think about your present growing areas/conditions before asking for these seeds. | 2019-04-21T16:41:50 | http://www.aroid.org/aroidl-archive/showthread.php?id=4076 |

Just in case, please see this, in the unlikely event that anyone didn't already realize that Fred Thompson holds dangerously extreme right-wing views, has a long history as a corporate and foreign-government Washington lobbyist (perhaps a tad inconsistent with his "folksy" red-pickup truck image), and is a complete hypocrite as a Vietnam era draft evader now trumpeting "military toughness;" and as a serial divorcé with a trophy wife 25 years younger than he trumpeting "traditional family values."
It is only through the massive ignorance of the public* and deliberate media eye-aversion that people like this can get away with running for office in this country, when their chief qualification is that they play an obnoxious autocrat on TV. I'd say the central thesis of Al Gore's new book The Assault on Reason is pretty obviously bang-on right.
*Unrelated, but if you have doubt that Mencken was right about the ignorance of the masses, consider this. According to a survey cited on the CBC radio show Testing Science (a lecture by Harvard historian of science Steven Shapin), nearly 1 in 4, 24%, of the U.S. public recently surveyed did not know that the earth goes around the Sun. | 2019-04-20T14:55:29 | http://www.gyromantic.com/2007/05/fred-thompson-dangerous-extremist-and.html |
Back to school season is right around the corner and has even already begun in some states. College kids typically head back to campus in early to mid-August for yet another semester. In a recent blog we discussed 5 Back to School Restaurant Promotions to use in the spirit of school being back in session. Today, we’re focusing in on college town restaurants and how those businesses can creatively market to new and returning students.
Take a cue from the big-box chain stores like BJ’s and Costco who make bulk shopping a can’t-miss event by offering customers free samples.
Let’s face it, college kids love free stuff. They’re tight on cash, but still hungry for great food. Use this to your advantage by offering up some free samples, either at your location or on campus. This is a great way to market your college town restaurant, give students a taste of what you offer, and do some essential face-to-face interaction. If students like what they taste, they’ll be more inspired to visit your restaurant and order it again.
While promoting the free samples, you can throw in a coupon for 10% off the next meal or a free appetizer. Again, any kind of discount or free item goes a long way for a busy college kid. Plus, you’re giving them a reason to come into your restaurant at a later date.
What better way for you to market your college town restaurant than to have walking billboards all over campus? Get some fun t-shirts printed up with your company logo and give them away at your location, on campus, or at other community events.
You can even see if the campus administrative buildings will place your branded pens in common areas for students to use and take home. Other swag ideas include umbrellas (for those rainy day walks to class), hats, mugs, and tote bags.
Although purchasing giveaways items is an investment, it’s great for getting the word out there about your business. And it’s effective! It’s said that 85% of people have done business with a company after receiving a promotional product. That same research shows that logoed mugs are more effective advertising than radio and television spots! Now, that’s good marketing.
People find it important for promotional products to be something useful, so keep that in mind. Plus, like we mentioned above, college students love free stuff. They’ll appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Activity doesn’t just stop when the last class is over. There are tons of clubs, groups, and teams that participate in events all over campus. Find out if you can be a sponsor an event or offer a prize for an auction, charity event, or raffle. This is a prime opportunity for your restaurant’s name to be mentioned on a microphone in front of a large crowd, in promotional flyers, or any other marketing collateral there may be for the event.
The Event Marketing Institute found that 74% of consumers are more likely to buy products after exposure to a branded event marketing experience.
Be sure to do some social posting, like an Instagram story or Snapchat filter, around your participation in the activity.
Being active in the college community can help you become a household (and “dormhold”) name.
College-aged individuals are more in tune with social media than anyone else. This means you have to go the extra mile to make your social presence more interactive, fun, and effective.
Posting an update about happy hours or daily specials is useful, but it’s not enough. 5 out of 6 millennials connect with companies on social media networks. They’re not just looking for updates, they’re looking for interaction and acknowledgement from brands.
How do you achieve this next level of social engagement? Make use of the tools available on the platforms. Instagram just released new updates that offer new stickers for Instagram stories. You can take polls, answer questions, and mention other social media users.
Testing out ideas for a new special? Ask your audience if they’d prefer a buffalo chicken wrap or a BBQ chicken panini. You can then make a decision based on your poll results and let your followers know that the decision was made because of them. This makes people feel like you listened and that you care about what they want.
Consider hosting a weekly or bi-weekly Q&A session using Instagram questions. Let your followers ask your restaurant things they want to know and address each question in your story. This gives followers a deeper insight into what your business is all about. Plus, you might just answer some burning questions people have been wondering about for quite some time.
If someone comments on your restaurant’s post, update, or photo, respond! 62% of millennials say that if a brand engages with them on social networks, they are more likely to become a loyal customer.
Consider creating a Snapchat geofilter that customers can use when they’re in your restaurant. This is great for brand exposure and visibility to additional Snapchat users who may not be following you (yet).
Host a contest on social media. Tell followers that if they geotag your location and tag your Instagram handle in their post, they’ll enjoy 20% off their next order. This gets you in front of those individuals’ followers for even more exposure.
When it comes to social media, the possibilities are endless. Get creative when targeting this young audience of people who are checking their smartphones 45 times per day.
You’ve gotten out in the community and on campus, participated in local charities, and handed out promo items. Next, consider bringing the party to your place. College nights can be a huge success if you have enough event space to host a crowd.
Designate one day of the week to a college-geared event. Are you a Mexican restaurant? Offer Taco Tuesdays with a discount on margaritas and beer. Italian cuisine? Buy-one-get-one pasta Mondays can entice people to eat with you and bring their friends. Have a martini bar? Half off Thursdays from 5-8pm can be your thing. College students are always looking for deals on meals and a place to have a good time. Be that place! Let your followers know about these events ahead of time by scheduling your social posts.
If you want festivities to continue late into the night, hire a live band or a DJ. You can even scout the campus to see if there are some bands that are looking for gigs.
Market this event by handing out flyers on campus and posting to social media. You can even ask the University if they’ll mention the event on their social accounts. It’s likely that most students are following their college’s social channels, so take advantage whenever you can.
If you market the event effectively and execute it even better, you’ll become to next hot spot to be each week. | 2019-04-24T08:20:18 | https://www.singleplatform.com/blog/restaurant-marketing-and-advertising/marketing-ideas/5-ways-to-creatively-market-your-college-town-restaurant/ |
George Smith Partners secured $7,125,000 in proceeds for the refinance of a 50-unit multifamily property located in Los Angeles. Fixed at 4.515% for a period of 5 years, the loan self-liquidates at 6 month LIBOR plus 2.25% for the remaining 25 year term; there is no balloon date. Two years of Interest Only payments precede loan amortization. Sized to a 1.15 Debt Coverage Ratio, proceeds were coverage constrained. Prepayment steps down from 3% with no penalty after the third year.
Although the building was previously retrofitted, several capital providers required a new PML earthquake risk assessment study due to the masonry construction. As cap rates continue their compression, cash flows are often the limiting constraint for sizing loan proceeds. Industry standard DCR constraints are limited to 1.20x or 1.25x and often use an inflated rate over the actual indexed note rate.
The selected lender did not require any additional structural reports. Our underwriter allocated credit to our Sponsor for their success in fulfilling their business plan over the past two years; the balance sheet basis was not an underwriting factor. Net cash flow included the Property’s higher rental income as well as previously unreported RUBs income, parking income, and laundry revenue. A quoted competitive spread of 160 basis points over the 5 year swap rate demonstrated the Capital Provider’s belief in this location and sponsorship. Our 1.15 DCR constraint resulted in proceeds above the rest of the market.
George Smith Partners successfully placed a 10-Year, Cash-Out, Fixed-Rate refinance of a 297-unit multifamily property located in Downtown Los Angeles, California. This loan refinanced a 10-Year floating rate loan with a remaining term of 8 years, also arranged by GSP.
Two years ago the Sponsor decided on a variable rate loan and paid an early prepayment penalty on his prior loan, allowing for a significant cash-out and reduction in interest carry. Our client benefited from lower interest rates for the past two years, however, as the long-term interest rates began to increase they decided to switch to a long-term fixed-rate strategy.
There were two objectives for this transaction: 1) leverage appreciated equity, and 2) replace floating rate risk with a long-term fixed-rate. Recent fluctuations in the 10-year Treasury prompted additional urgency in the transaction and GSP moved quickly to arrange the new loan as soon as the former loan’s two-year lockout period expired. Sized at 55% of value, the non-recourse, interest-only loan is fixed at 4.20% for 10 years. | 2019-04-20T10:40:59 | https://www.gspartners.com/financings/6350000-cash-refinance-28-units-los-angeles-maximum-credit-unit-renovations/ |
My favorite Home School accessory this year is our Barbie "Pearl Princess" CD. Last year, my one year old made teaching school a nightmare. She's one of these super curious PBS kids who could create a mini tornado whenever she was left alone for 20 minutes. In June we went through 5 Redbox videos while driving to the Beach. This movie was on the bottom of the pile. I think it breaks every rule my husband and I have for movie watching. There is immodesty and magic. There is no plot and really annoying music. It's "Barbie." This is the movie choice, I'd never usually grab for my kids--except that my Toddler LOVES this movie! This is her film. There is something about water, and long hair, and dolphins swimming together that equals great entertainment in her eyes. My kid watched this entire film happily after being strapped into her car seat for more than three hours.
While we were school shopping at Target this summer, I happily paid full price for this DVD. It's great to have as a back up. If someone needs me to give them extra tutoring for school and the little girls (4 and 2) are starting to melt down, out comes the Pearl Princess CD.
The thing I've most embraced as the Mother of Six is to become more flexible in my parenting. My husband and I are both media snobs. We read the "good stuff" to our kids and watch "good movies." Yet not all kids movies meet the artistic standard of "Frozen." There is a place in life for "Barbie Pearl Princess". God bless all the animators who worked on this movie because they saved my sanity this Home School Year.

PS: I do not know what i have done wrong.
I dont know what " an invalid state" is?
Simulation aborted due to invalid state.
maybe you don't feed your blade monopole antenna, could you send me your project?
But, if you send me your project, I could help you!!!
The message “Invalid State,… Exit Code 24” is just an internal coding for bugs identification.
We are going to update the silver version next days with the bug solved. I recommend you to wait to this new version that also will be more robust and able to handle more MoM subdomains and surfaces.
A quick question.....even if I add a metal in ground plane in the model, will I still fail to execute the simulation because there is a bug in the present Release of the tool?
Meaning, no matter what I simulate, even the example u hot link me to, I will still have failure?
I also note for coaxial feed, the "setup parameters " box does not really tell the user where the connection is made to the geometry surface in the mesh tet. This seems inaccurate. The user does not know where the reference placement is in the model.
if a proper ground plane is added, how much space should there be between the Groundplane and the Blade antenna?
Should there be a gap? Or should the surface of the feed point touch the Groundplane?
Yes, there was a bug with some Coaxial Feed primitives (such as the Blade one) in the present Silver (6.2.7) version, even considering a metal as ground plane. It is already solved in new (6.2.8) version that will be available as soon as we finish the quality tests.
The bug may appear in some Coaxial Feed primitive, with and without ground plane.
The user can edit both the voltage and impedance given a Feeding point defined by two surfaces. With this information, the feeding is automatically carried out.
When one of the surfaces is shown as “Auto” (as in the Blade Primitive Antenna), the voltage is automatically inserted in the surfaces connected to the antenna that will be typically its ground plane (See attachment “Fig. 1”).
if a proper ground plane is added, how much space should there be between the Groundplane and the Blade antenna? Should there be a gap? Or should the surface of the feed point touch the Groundplane?
The ground plane surface and the antenna must be physically connected, that is, without gap between them, as shown in “Fig 1”.
We appreciate your feedback and comments and they will be taken into account for improving the user experience.
Thank you for clarifying the details needed for a successful Simitation. Without the detail of proper use of Ground plane, it would be useless result!
There is a selection box in simulation that asks "include groundplane". Is this an Infinite groundplane?
I ask because this Plane option does not have any visibility in the GUI.
We will update the user guides and GUI descriptions to clarify those questions.
You are right, the "include ground plane" option enables an infinite ground plane that is usually considered for RCS simulations. For coaxial feed antennas, it doesn't provide the effect of a physicall groud plane where the antenna is placed on, as the one that I mentioned in the previous message. It also will be better explained in the user guides for avoiding confusions. | 2019-04-25T09:46:26 | https://forum.fasant.com/viewtopic.php?t=6&p=7 |

Sample Details: Separate serum and remove from clot. Failure to remove serum from clot may lead to inaccurately low vitamin E levels. Protect from light, keep cool, and avoid hemolysis. Severely hemolyzed samples are unsuitable for analysis.
Comment: We strongly recommend that Vitamin E (serum) and Selenium (heparin or EDTA whole blood) be tested together.
Vitamin E testing may be added on to samples already in the lab within 2 days of accessioning, if the original samples were drawn less than one week prior to the add-on request.
Min Sample Volume: 1 ml separated serum.
Collection Container: Avoid preservatives such as Citrate or EDTA. No Gel Clot Vacutainer Tubes (SST tubes).
This analysis was developed to determine the vitamin E (as alpha-tocopherol) concentration in serum samples. Analysis of an inappropriate sample, such as serum collected or stored in gel clot tubes, or plasma instead of serum, could affect the accuracy of the test result. | 2019-04-22T22:45:29 | https://ahdc.vet.cornell.edu/test/detail.aspx?testcode=NDIK |

This photo melts my heart…my two older boys meeting their baby brother for the first time. Their faces are beaming with love and excitement. The realization that they were BOTH big brothers now.
It’s moments like this that the mommy in me dreams for. The pure innocence and joy exuding from my children.
However, you would never guess the conversation leading up to this photo.
It all began with my boys staying the night at grandma and grandpa’s the night before my scheduled induction of my youngest boy, Vann. We had to get to the hospital early the next morning, so it just made sense to have the boys stay there so I could have a good night’s rest to prepare for the next morning.
Everything went perfectly, and after just a couple hours in the hospital, I was blessed with another beautiful baby boy.
Phone calls were made, and arrangements for my two older boys to meet their new baby brother were made. My husband and I were anxious to see what they would think of him. Within an hour or so, they arrived at the hospital.
There was a knock at the door, and the boys ran in. “Daddy, daddy….Anakin got burned up….and he turned into Darth Vader!” exclaimed my oldest.
“Bruce, (who is my Dad, and the boys’ grandpa) did you let the boys watch Episode 3?” asked my husband.
You see, my husband hadn’t let the boys see Star Wars Episode 3 yet. He felt that it was too scary and graphic for them, and was also worried how my boys would feel about the Clone Troopers turning on the Jedi. But my dad, knowing nothing about Star Wars, thought he was being an awesome grandpa by watching Star Wars with his grandchildren. And since Episode 3 just happened to be on television, the boys got their “special” time with grandpa.
The whole thing was a bit funny, and the boys quickly forgot and turned their attention to their new baby brother.
Will always be associated with the memories of my third baby’s birth.
Note to self: educate Grandpa on Star Wars!
aww, could anything be more special! Wonderful pictures of a great family!!!
I LOVE that baby picture of Vann, so sweet!
That is such a great story, this is why I love the internet….it’s depicted as such a social pariah but in fact it is a human storybook in real time. Beautiful photos, beautiful family…thank you for sharing! | 2019-04-19T17:24:47 | http://rockinboys.com/my-kids-review-of-star-wars-episode-3/ |

LakesnWoods.com would like to publish your Angora photos (current or historical) or historical accounts on this website. Original materials can be returned and your privacy will be respected.
Angora Township is a township located in St. Louis County, Minnesota. According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 36.4 square miles (94.2 km²), of which, 36.3 square miles (94.0 km²) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.3 km²) of it (0.27%) is water.

The bar owners are suing in federal court, saying the smoking ban is unconstitutional. They say they're being treated unfairly because they are covered by the ban but casinos are not.
Attorneys for the state also filed motions Friday. They argue that casinos aren't like bars and can be treated differently.
The ban went into effect July 1. It prohibits smoking in bars and most other public places but exempts casinos, cigar bars that opened before 2006 and the Denver International Airport smoking lounge.
Private workplaces with three or fewer employees are also exempt. | 2019-04-24T06:50:40 | https://www.kktv.com/home/headlines/3743196.html |
Dit symposium was de afsluiter van het Denkersprogramma over Blended Learning van de Klasse Technische Wetenschappen.
Should higher education institutions embrace the digital revolution as the key to a new future? Should they resist it as a threat to their very essence, or just ignore it as just another dot com bubble? Did Flemish universities and colleges miss the train already?
The latter certainly not (yet). Flemish institutions are intensively engaged in e-learning: by scientific research, through a wide range of pilot projects (up to the organization of their own MOOCs, the famous Massive Open Online Courses) and by thorough discussion and reflection.
The above was one of the conclusions made by the two Thinkers-in-residence who were invited in 2014 by the KVAB to explore the state of the art in Flemish Higher Education and to confront it with their own vision and experience. Thinkers Pierre Dillenbourg and Diana Laurillard are international top experts in the advanced use of ICT in education. They presented their findings during the final conference of the Thinkers' Programme. | 2019-04-20T00:27:05 | https://www.kvab.be/node/159 |

How did Glenview products come about?
Today we are faced with what was and what is no longer – old skills, and trades are no longer practiced. Genuine craftsmen are disappearing. As modern technology takes over, machine made items are in. Hand made crafted items are harder to find.
As an apprentice moulder Robert learned his trade in the foundry. He was privileged to be trained by a breed of foundry craftsmen that were proud of who they were and what they could do. Their skills have mostly disappeared. The traditional trades are all but gone, except here and there faithful participants ply their art.
Robert’s passion was working with metal, developing trade skills and furthering his studies in metallurgy. He became a foundry manager, later operating one of his own. He was always interested in weathervanes and has made them for over 50 years.
He has crawled over roof tops in Belgium and London in his quest to know more about how they are made, what they are made of, how they are attached and importantly, how they work.
Word soon got out that Robert could produce these things and because of continual requests for his products he started a manufacturing company called Austasia Commodities which trades under the name of Glenview Products.
The range of products has extended to Armillary Globes and Spheres, Equatorial Sundials, Windsocks, Horizontal Sundials, Water Pumps, Windmills and Rain Gauges. It’s been an exciting journey, Robert has continually acquired new skills to be able to manufacture or source the products requested.
Glenview Products now has the largest range of Weathervanes available. The mostly Australian made products are further enhanced by an imported range of complimentary designs.
Because Robert no longer has his foundry he is unable to make all of the Sun Dials, Globes and Spheres that are requested and now imports selected designs.
Is it well made? Does it work?
Is it attractive? Will it last?
Welcome to the Glenview Products website. You are invited to browse through the range.
Robert hopes you will find the product range interesting; perhaps you will even find the very product you are looking for. | 2019-04-18T14:30:42 | https://www.glenviewproducts.com.au/about-us/ |
In Part 1 of this series, we talked about NYIP mentor Ted Fisher’s ABC Nightline Photoshop tutorial and the many ways in which family photographers especially are growing to greatly benefit from post-production tools.
For a more comprehensive education and step-by-step guide to mastering Adobe Photoshop, check out our online Photoshop course to get started. For some simple tips, today we’ll talk about how to adjust some common errors we photographers tend to make in routine shoots.
Photo albums are often littered with pictures that are too dark because the photographer didn’t turn on their flash. In this picture, the photographer should have used fill flash to illuminate the bride and groom’s faces. All is not lost however. In fact, it’s a pretty simple fix most of the time. In Adobe Photoshop, choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels. A histogram will open up. Slide the white triangle on the right until it lines up with the first peak on the right side of the histogram. Slide the black triangle on the left until it lines up with the first peak on the left side of the histogram. Then, you can move the middle triangle to the left until you get a pleasing amount of brightness in the photograph. Do not go too far or you’ll start to see artifacts and other damage to the pixels in the picture.
Sometimes, there’s not a problem with the photograph, it just isn’t the picture you want to see. For example, let’s look at this picture of a red and green bathroom. Quite festive, but what if you wanted to see what the room would look like painted in a different set of colors. You could go out and buy a couple of cans of paint and then spend the better part of a day or two repainting the bathroom for optimal family photos. Or, you could adjust the photograph to see if you like the color choice. First, choose Select > Color Range. Then, choose a color range from the pull down menu, or use the “eye dropper” to click on a color. In this example, we choose to adjust the red tones. Then, slide the Fuzziness arrow until the selection seems to cover the area you’d like to change. To complete the change, choose Image > Adjustments > Hue / Saturation and change the Hue to experiment with the look of the room. If you have an image with walls that don’t select easily using the “Color Range” technique, try using the Magnetic Lasso Tool to select them.
Ok, we all know that Aunt Sally is not very photogenic. Unfortunately, Aunt Sally doesn’t know this. So, why disappoint her with a realistic photograph when you can show a picture that’s better than the original? For example, let’s take a look at this picture of Jeanne. Now, Jeanne doesn’t have any blemishes so we’re going to have to pretend that those stars plastered all over her face are actually age spots like Aunt Sally has (don’t tell her!). To solve Jeanne’s skin problem we’re going to use Photoshop’s Healing Brush. Simply select the tool and then choose a brush size close to the size of the star (or spot) that you want to fix. Hold down the Alt or Command Key and click on a clear spot with no blemishes right near the spot you want to fix. Then, simply click on the blemish. It should disappear right before your eyes after clicking on it a time or two. You can also use the Clone Stamp tool in a similar manner too.
Got a boyfriend you want to make disappear? Or remove the light pole sticking out of someone’s head,(it wasn’t there when you took the picture, you swear!)? Using most of the techniques we just showed you, it’s easy to erase unwanted portions of many photographs. In this example, we’ve removed a whole person from the photograph by using a combination of techniques. First, we used the Selection tool to choose a large swath of trees from the upper left portion of the photograph. Then, we copied and pasted the selection directly over the man. We used the Erase tool to clean it up a bit. And, we used the Clone Stamp tool and the Healing Brush to put in the necessary details to make the picture look realistic. No one ever has to know.
This happens to all of us at some point, even professional photographers. You’ve just taken what you thought were some great family photos of your daughter, but when you open up the image files on your computer, her beautiful blue eyes glow a frightening red. Red-eye (or green-eye in pets) happens for a variety of reasons. Those tiny on-camera flash units are usually the culprit, as they reflect light directly into your subject’s retina, which photographs red. Many of today’s point-and-shoot cameras offer a red-eye reduction feature which fires the flash off twice. The first flash is designed to make your subject’s pupils to contract, so that the retina is not as visible when you actually take the photograph. However, red-eye reduction doesn’t always work, especially if you forget to turn it on. So, what can you do?
Many of the basic digital imaging programs like Adobe Photoshop Elements or even the software that came with your camera, have automatic red-eye tools that easily let you correct the problem with just a few clicks of the mouse. Red-eye correction with the full version of Adobe Photoshop is a bit more complicated. First, use Photoshop’s Magic Wand to select most of the red portion of your subject’s eye. Then make the person’s pupil darker (Image > Adjust > Brightness/Contrast). This probably won’t change the glowing white catch light, so if that still has red in it, make a selection around that highlight (the Magnetic Lasso Tool would work for this) and use Image > Adjust > Desaturate to remove the red completely. You can even change the color of your subject’s eyes, by playing around with the options in the Image > Adjust > Variations menu. The result should look quite normal – your daughter will no longer look possessed.
Using these techniques, everyone can now have a photo album full of family photos they’ll be proud to show! | 2019-04-23T18:47:15 | http://www.artearch.club/photography/adobe-photoshop-for-the-family-photographer-part-ii/ |
Can You Be Healthy and Heavy?
How much does your weight affect your health? Can you be healthy and still be considered "overweight"? A new study suggests that the connection between weight and health may not be as clear cut as doctors and health professionals previously thought. While it is still clear that seriously obese people die a bit earlier (as do people who are too skinny), people who were considered overweight actually may live a little longer than people considered a normal weight. Researchers say this may be because medicine has gotten better at managing disease, and the study measured death rates not disease rates. Or it could be that what we see as healthy may be skewed.
Healthy can look different on different people.
You could have two people who have the exact same Body Mass Index (BMI) and one could be healthy and the other not healthy. An example would be Rebecca Fox of NYC who is considered obese. She has normal blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose levels. She also does CrossFit four times a week and competes in triathlons. And yet, there are many people who are overweight or obese who struggle with a host of medical problems or find that their weight hinders them in everyday activities.
Being healthy is more than just a number on the scale.
While some people may actually need to lose weight to become more healthy, it is important to keep health as the primary reason for lifestyle changes. Using body shame as motivation to improve your health doesn't work and often leads to unhealthy and dangerous yo-yo dieting. Studies show that the majority of women perceive underweight women as "ideally healthy" and that isn't necessarily the case.
It is possible to become a healthier person without losing a pound. Often focusing on becoming healthy will cause a person to naturally lose weight. Regardless, becoming healthier will make you feel better, your life will be more enjoyable and you will find that you are happier with the person that you are! | 2019-04-21T22:34:18 | https://www.tlcwellnesscoaching.com/blog/can-you-be-healthy-and-heavy |
There is no reason to believe this treasonous act of Mueller hand delivering the 10-gram sample of HEU to Russian officials to be anything, but true. It is Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks who has leaked damming evidence of Clinton high crimes and treason and overall corruption in Washington for years, of which all of it is indisputable evidence of criminal activity.
So, here we have a man, Robert Mueller, who is himself guilty of treason in illegally delivering a sample of HEU to a potential adversary, Russia, now acting as a Special Council trying to dig up dirt on President Trump, based on a fake and illegal dossier funded by Hillary Clinton under the direction of her boss at the time Barack Obama.
The simple fact is that everyone involved with corruption in Washington based their ace in the hole on a 2016 Clinton win, which would have kept all the criminal activity secret. Since that did not happen, they have been scrambling to discredit and remove President Trump before he exposes them for the treasonous dogs they are.
Mueller should have been arrested for high crimes and treason long ago and currently be in Federal prison, not acting as a Special Prosecutor. President Trump needs to start firing all those involved with the crimes left over from the Obama reign and also remove their security clearances. The backlash from such moves by the president could not get much worse as compared to what they are doing now.
The time is long past for the crime syndicate in Washington, run by the Clintons, Obama, and those who worked for them to be prosecuted for crimes against the USA. | 2019-04-19T09:12:03 | https://freedomoutpost.com/robert-mueller-guilty-of-treason-in-hand-delivering-sample-of-highly-enriched-uranium-to-russian-officials/ |
….when one is awake at 3 a.m. then one sees life, and death, as they truly are, in their stark, terrible, hopeless reality; that at all other times of day one sees these infinite things through rose-tinted spectacles; that everyday life is the delusion is the occupational opiate which deceives us into optimistic speculation.

Shaping the youth goes beyond classroom learning as academic institutions now offer a wide array extra-curricular activities to help build character and better prepare students for the real world. As one of the country’s biggest educational institution, STI has also adopted this mindset as they apply a holistic education approach within its Enrollment to Employment (E2E) system.
With its dedication to produce well-balanced and highly talented graduates. STI has developed specialized extra-curricular programs that allow students to hone and exhibit their talents inside and outside of their respective courses.
One of its marquee programs is its long-running STI Talent Search, which the institution conducts annually to promote the sharing and fostering of innate talents of its students nationwide.
Over 20,000 senior high school and college students from STI campuses in different parts oc the country gathered in a whole-day celebration of talents, skills, and achievements that upholds STI’s thrust towards excellence on October 5, 2018 at the Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
Several competitions were held simultaneously at the Band Stand and the Enchanting Events Place featuring the finest student musicians, dancers, heartthrobs, and darlings to compete in this year’s Singing Idol (solo singing competition), Battle of the Bands (band competition), Hataw Sayaw (dance competition), and the much awaited Search for Mr. and Ms. STI 2018.
Besides the exclusive use of the entire theme park, STIers relished in the whole day of festivity and performances from celebrity guests. The grand celebration was concluded with a magnificent fireworks display.
The STI Talent Search is only one of the student programs lined-up for the school year as the institution prepares to welcome the upcoming Second Semester with more exciting & network-wide educational activities all geared towards holistic development.
“For 35 remarkable years of developing students’ potential through academic and extra-curricular activities. STI has always been innovative in providing our students with strong learning experiences to become well-rounded individuals,” said Aisa Hipolito, STI AVP for Academic Reasearch.
Among the activities for the 2nd Semester are Tagisan ng Talino and Tagisan ng Sining which include academic competitions like Think Quest (team quiz bee), CodeFest (mobile app development), Mix n’ Flair (flair bartending), Travelogue (tour guiding), Chef Xpress (cooking competition), Shutter’s Best (photography), and Director’s Cut (video making), among others.
STI will also be holding the STI National Youth Convention, the largest educational caravan in the country, and the STI Sports Cup featuring the National Basketball Tournament and the National Volleyball League. | 2019-04-20T21:17:03 | http://motoring.ph/sti-fosters-student-development-through-holistic-education/ |
The Massachusetts Court of Appeals recently reviewed an action brought by a home mortgage borrower against the lender and its assignee, alleging that they violated the consumer protection statute by modifying his mortgage, among other claims, and that they should be enjoined from evicting the borrower from his home. In Moronta v. Nationstar Mortgage, LLC, the borrower’s primary argument was that the defendants violated G.L. c. 93A by structuring a mortgage consisting of high-cost loans, which the lender had no reasonable expectation that the homeowner could pay, and therefore misleading the borrower as to the viability of the transaction. The lower court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants, and the decision was appealed by the borrower to the Massachusetts Court of Appeals.
In Moronta, the borrower refinanced his original mortgage of $330,600 to consolidate his debt and lower his monthly payments. At the time he refinanced in 2007, the borrower’s monthly income was $6,000, although the loan application amount stated that it was $8,500. The lender granted two loans, one in the amount of $296,000 with an adjustable interest rate and large balloon payment of $264,963 at the end of 30 years, and a second in the amount of $74,000 at a fixed interest rate of 10.5%. In November 2009, the lender foreclosed on the property.
G.L. c. 93A prohibits the origination of a home mortgage loan that the lender should recognize at the outset that the borrower is not likely to be able to repay. Massachusetts courts have noted that banks have been advised that loans to borrowers who do not demonstrate the capacity to repay the loan, as structured, are generally considered unsound and unfair to borrowers.
The court identified several factors that should have put the lender on notice that the borrower was unlikely to repay the refinanced loans. First, the $296,000 loan is an adjustable rate loan with an introductory period of three years or less, and the introductory rate is at least three points below the fully indexed rate. Second, the $74,000 loan is fixed at a high interest rate of 10.5%. Third, the court found a question of fact existed as to whether the debt to income ratio would have exceeded 50 percent of the borrower’s gross monthly income, particularly if considered at the fully indexed rate and with the enormous balloon payment due at the end of the term. The court also noted that the loans at issue, collectively, approach nearly 100% financing of the property. Therefore, under the circumstances of the record presented, the court found that a material issue of fact existed as to whether the loan is unfair and whether the lender acted unfairly or deceptively under G.L. c. 93A when originating the borrower’s loans.

Schematic overview of various methods provided and utilised in subprojects Z02, Z03 and C03.
Most CRC subprojects rely on data acquired from the central service projects Z2 and Z3, which bundle expertise and equipment for ground-based monitoring and remote-sensing data, and which will be responsible for data processing and analyses. A number of subprojects will benefit from on-site artificial irrigation experiments, which will be carried out within the framework of Z3.
In addition, Z3 will be in charge of maintaining up to 15 meteorological stations, which will be installed in each of the three CRC focus areas along transects from west to east. These stations will provide essential climatic data for all CRC subprojects and our Chilean partners. Due to decadal climatic variations in the region (e.g. El Niño-Southern Oscillation, ENSO), they are designed to provide climatic data for a minimum of 12 years, i.e. the envisaged duration of the CRC, exceeding the time span of most other projects. To achieve standardized data acquisition and post-processing, Z3 will work in close cooperation with Z2 and with other data-receiving projects throughout the CRC. | 2019-04-22T09:56:59 | https://sfb1211.uni-koeln.de/index.php/projects/cluster-z/project-z3?subprojectID=53 |

Anyone who has ever waited tables has said some version of the following: "If I ever make a ton of money, I am going to leave a $500 tip everywhere I go." For Laurie Radake, this fantasy became a reality — not the giving, but the receiving. Her City Diner shift that July afternoon was progressing normally when three guests seated themselves in her section. They were nondescript, ordered a BLT and a chicken sandwich, and paid their bill with a credit card. They seemed like any other guests until one of them, Seth Collins, stood up with a book in his hand. Inside was a $500 tip. It turns out that Mr. Collins has been traveling the country, spreading joy to servers everywhere as he fulfills the last wish of his deceased brother, Aaron. In his will, Aaron asked Seth to go out and leave an awesome tip in his honor. As a tribute to Aaron, the Collins family set up a donation page and raised more than $60,000, which Seth distributes to servers across the country. And so we bestow this award in their, and Aaron's, honor. | 2019-04-19T06:23:39 | https://www.riverfronttimes.com/stlouis/best-service-in-a-restaurant/BestOf?oid=2512386 |
• Travel writer and photographer Stephen Gollan spent a month and a half traveling around Afghanistan.
• He says the local hospitality is unrivaled, and that the scenery is beautiful.
• He thinks that it will become a tourist hub again, the way it was on the "hippie trail" through South Asia in the 60s and 70s.
Stephen Gollan can't wait to go back to Afghanistan.
The 28-year-old adventure seeker works as a lifeguard and manager at a swimming pool in Canada when he's not traveling. These days, that's less often, as he spends six to eight months out of the year visiting countries many travelers avoid, and writes how-to guides on his website, Uncharted Backpacker.
The US State Department warns against travel to Afghanistan due to the ongoing threat of militant attacks, but Gollan always dreamed of visiting. Finally, towards the end of 2015, he spent a month and a half drinking tea with local shopkeepers, riding buses through stunning mountain ranges, and exploring parts of the country that haven't been open to tourists in decades.
Stephen Gollan has traveled to over 80 countries, but Afghanistan holds a special place in his passport.
He was inspired to visit by people who followed the "hippie trail" through Kabul in the sixties and seventies.
Traveling on the "hippie trail" involved minimal planning and funds. Backpackers hitchhiked their way through European destinations, worked their way down through the Middle East, and ended up in Southeast Asia.
"I kept hearing from older people who had been traveling that Afghanistan was just phenomenal," he said.
He secured a visa from the Canadian embassy in Kyrgyzstan, then crossed over from Uzbekistan.
"It was quite the process," he said of getting a visa. "By telling them that I'm a professional travel writer and photographer, they said yes."
One of his favorite places was the Panjshir Valley north of Kabul, a village surrounded by 20,000 foot peaks.
The military guards the entrance to the valley, and Gollan was the first tourist to gain access in 30 years.
"The military general saw me and was in shock," Gollan said. "I said, 'I'm a traveler, I really want to see it.' He arranged a couple military escorts and said, 'You're crazy but go ahead.'"
Inside, he discovered homes hanging off the sides of the mountains and friendly locals in traditional garb.
"There's always that little idea that it could be dangerous, but in the end there was no danger even there," he said.
He visited the Shrine of Hazrat Ali in Mazar-e Sharif, then boarded a bus to Kabul.
The bus passes through an area that's notorious for Taliban activity, but Gollan didn't encounter any problems.
"I remember they stopped in the middle of the mountains for tea, and all of the people on the bus wanted to have tea with me," he said. "They were talking to me and they were like, 'Don't you feel danger?' And I remember looking around and going, 'Where is the danger? Where are these bad people?' They were all laughing and saying, 'They're not here.'"
Kabul's streets and marketplaces were packed.
While the smaller villages he visited were strict and traditional, Kabul felt more modernized.
"Some of [the women] would smile at me and want to talk, which was forbidden in Taliban times," he said.
"Every province in Afghanistan is like a new country," he said.
Locals often invited him into their shops to share a meal or a cup of tea.
Gollan's taxi driver in Kabul insisted on introducing his wife and children over dinner at his home, providing a glimpse into Afghan family life.
"The children are just like children anywhere else," he said. "They're goofing around, they want to touch my hair because it's blond. It was surprisingly normal."
There were some safety concerns. Eighteen people were killed in a bombing during his visit, and bullet-riddled buildings served as reminders of ongoing conflict.
But he doesn't want people to think of Afghanistan as a battlefield.
"I've lived in war zones... I've been in actual danger," he said. "But in Afghanistan, I've never felt so happy and safe."
He hopes that Afghanistan will once again become a top tourist destination.
Already, people who fled to Pakistan to escape the war are beginning to return.
He's helped six other backpackers coordinate their trips there, and encourages travelers to see it for themselves.
"It's not this war-torn, desert nation that people portray it to be," he said. "It's a huge, stunning, beautiful country." | 2019-04-22T22:11:50 | https://www.thisisinsider.com/how-to-travel-to-afghanistan-2017-3 |
At HHHS, teachers implement different types of assessment using a balanced range of assessment strategies such as observation, selected responses, open ended tasks, and performance based assessments. Since assessment is criteria based, teachers and students use different tools like rubrics, checklists, and anecdotal records to record data collected on students’ performance.
All teaching faculty are involved in assessing learners who are directly involved in evaluating their own work and using the information provided in formative assessments to improve their learning and deepen their understanding. Parents are able to use descriptors to assess the work of their children and stay well-informed about their progress by reading reports and attending conferences.
The assessment policy is reviewed regularly as part of the curriculum review cycle and as part of the whole school strategic plan. The Pedagogical Leadership Team regularly reviews the implementation of the policy in classrooms and throughout the school. The complete version of the assessment policy is introduced to the school community through multiple path ways including Pedagogical Leadership Team meetings, staff meetings, and parents’ sessions. New staff are familiarized with the document during orientation.
At Houssam Eddine Hariri High School, we believe in language as a medium for communication, thinking, and creativity across the curriculum. Learning a mother tongue language, in addition to other languages, enhances the learner’s knowledge and helps deepen his/her understanding of life, culminating into an internationally-minded person. The Arabic language, our mother tongue, is valued and respected; therefore, we are firmly committed to maintaining and developing it in order to consolidate the cultural identity. In fact, learning language is a concept that is deeply rooted in the Lebanese history, culture, and educational and social systems. The English or French languages, in addition to the Arabic language, are the languages of instruction. French or English, as additional languages, are provided to learners from age seven, the fact that increases their intercultural understanding and international-mindedness.
Language is a key factor for intellectual growth; it allows learners to think and acquire knowledge, express their identity and interact with others, and communicate effectively in an ever-changing world. Language is also key to learning across the curriculum as we recognize that all learning takes place through language and all teachers are language teachers.
The school language policy identifies the principles and practices of teaching language. Reading, writing, listening, speaking, media awareness, and the study of literature, which is an integral part of the curriculum, are the focal points of language instruction. The Library and Media Centers in Houssam Eddine Hariri High School are used as main resources for inquiry and research. The school library has specialized sections for the three languages of instruction. An annual budget is allocated in order to expand the library collections, taking into account having a range that covers a variety of cultures to promote international-mindedness. The community is considered a valuable resource to aid language learning as students go on numerous field trips and use different languages in various contexts. Guest speakers are frequently invited to the school, and they communicate in English, in French or in our country’s mother tongue language, Arabic.
The language policy is reviewed regularly as part of the curriculum review cycle and as part of the whole school strategic plan. The Pedagogical Leadership Team regularly reviews the implementation of the policy in classrooms and throughout the school. The complete version of the language policy is introduced to the school community through multiple path ways including Pedagogical Leadership Team meetings, staff meetings, and parents’ sessions. New staff are familiarized with the document during orientation.
Every Child has the right to obtain an education in the setting most appropriate for his or her needs.
The education of children should take place in the least restrictive, most normalized education setting in which these children can benefit.
All children have the right to access an education that encompasses their spiritual, physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development to prepare them adequately for lifelong learning.
The purpose of the Division of Special Education is to provide leadership, guidance, and support to the school community in order to maximize learning for all students within an inclusive environment so that each student will contribute to and benefit from our diverse society.
Our educational program will give our students the tools to understand themselves, deepen their beliefs, explore the world around them, and enable them to live independent lives.
Provide a continuum of service and differentiated curriculum for HHHS students with special needs.
Provide procedures for the identification and assessment of students with special needs inside and outside school.
Attempt to address special needs as early as possible, recognizing the benefits of early intervention.
Foster and maintain cooperative relationships with agencies, associations and centers providing social and academic services to the special needs population.
Plan appropriate and useful professional development to assist school personnel in learning how to teach students with a variety of special needs.
Recognize specialized strategies and equipment to ensure the appropriate teaching methodologies and styles.
Make students with the special needs self-sufficient and productive citizens in the global market place.
Identify roles and responsibilities of stakeholders.
The detailed Special Education Needs policy is communicated with the school community through staff meetings and parents’ sessions. The policy is reviewed regularly as part of the curriculum review cycle and as part of the whole school strategic plan. New staff are familiarized with the document during orientation.
Academic Honesty must be seen as a set of values and skills that promote personal integrity and good practice in teaching, learning and assessment (IB Academic Honesty Guide).
Also, Academic integrity is the moral code or ethical policy of academia and includes values such as avoidance of cheating or plagiarism, maintenance of academic standard, honesty and rigor in research and publishing (IGI Global, "What is Academic Integrity").
Aligned by the IB philosophy, Houssam Eddine Hariri High School fosters engaged learning, international education and rigorous inquiry in all of its students, faculty and staff. Academic honesty in one’s work, words, ideas and actions are essential to our vision. We reinforce our advocacy to academic freedom, meaningful exchange of ideas, the promotion of learning, and the pursuit of knowledge which can only be achieved when academic integrity prevails. The policies and procedures in this document are declared by HHHS mission and vision and by the attributes of the International Baccalaureate (IB) learner profile.
We are looking forward to a productive partnership with students and parents to ensure that we can achieve student’s best interest.
HHHS develops its own policy to foster a culture of academic honesty at school where individuals assume responsibility for their work, understand its basic principles and practices, and uphold its ideals.
1. Plagiarism: is the representation of the ideas or work of another person as one’s own. Also, the use of translated materials, unless indicated and acknowledged, is also considered plagiarism.
a. Allowing one’s work to be copied or done by another.
b. Allowing another student to copy from one’s examination, paper, homework, assignment, or other subject.
3. Cheating: the use or attempted use of unauthorized assistance during examinations, writing assignments, etc.
4. Duplication of work: presenting the same projects, assignments in different courses.
2. Respect the school’s deadlines regarding assignments, projects, etc.
3. Understand the proper ways and methods for citations and referencing referring back to handouts and online citation sites provided by the teacher.
4. Ask the teachers and librarians for help if any of the citation methods is not clear and including internet sources.
5. Do not engage in any form of academic dishonesty at any time, including but not limited to collusion, duplication of work, plagiarism, and all other forms of cheating.
6. Understand the consequences of malpractice.
7. Understand and abide by the fair use and copyright permission.
8. Abide by netiquette ethics and rules.
1. Read and understand the Academic Honesty Policy after informative orientation session.
2. Ensure that the Academic Honesty policy is well discussed and understood by their children (sons, daughters).

Everyone is asking this question! In the geographic areas I work in (Oakland and Macomb counties especially) we have seen three consecutive “seller’s markets” over the past 3 years and I believe we will see one more. Interest rates are edging up but they will likely remain very palatable for 2017. However as they inch up, that will continue to motivate Buyers to find that perfect home before rates climb higher. Available homes for sale remain low and has for the past 3 years, which continues to push values up and I don’t see that changing. Many potential Sellers have been apprehensive about putting their home on the market with fears of not finding their next home, which has created a double edged sword. It has been tough for Buyers because of this listing shortage but if we move quickly, we can find you that dream home. For the “snowbirds” moving to their already existing southern home it has been fantastic since we can usually sell their homes very quickly and they don’t have to worry about finding another. In a nutshell, we should see another great year of increasing values which is great news for everyone.
Happy New Year and make it your best year ever! | 2019-04-20T06:35:03 | https://randymillerhomes.wordpress.com/2016/12/29/2017-what-can-we-expect/ |

Hey guys, today I decided to post a bunch of websites that I enjoy. I posted the name, picture and what not, then posted the link for you to check them out.
I love to check up an Pioneers Woman's blog and website. I also love to try her recipes....which are always good! I have posted a couple of them like the "Apple fritters" and "Vanilla bean scones" on my bakery page.
She posts pictures from their daily lives on a ranch so if you're that country type....head on over there!
I recently found this website and really enjoy reading her blog. It is so neat to see the different ways and places people live their lives.
And she is a follower of Jesus Christ!
Westfall horsemanship. I like to check her blog/site and watch her training videos which have helped me tons and has helped me to get where I am now with horses.
Patty Cakes Bakery has so many fun cakes and ideas!
I love how she posts pictures of the whole set up. Not just the cake. A fun website!
Can't beat Taste of Home!! If I am looking for a recipe, I know I can go to Taste of Home and always find a good recipe. Really, I think there has been maybe one recipe, if that, that I got off there and it didn't turn out.
I found this website a little bit ago and I think it is so fun! If you have little girls, or any girls for that matter, you should check it out. So many fun hair styles and there are some really unique ones too!
I hope you found one that you will enjoy!
What are some of your favorite websites? Feel free to post them in a comment!
Here are the pictures of the most recent cake I made.
For this cake I really had know idea what I wanted it to look like. I knew that I wanted to keep it really, really simple. Which in the end it was.
It was a different looking cake as I did a dome on top. After I baked the cake I cut the little dome that was on top and used that for the dome part. Though, it was a little bumpy because the cake obviously doesn't bake in a perfect round dome. = ) I think it was fun but I still don't know if I liked it.
Sense we didn't know her name this blanket was perfect!
The cake itself was a white cake with a lemon curd filling. It was a great combination and the lemon curd was delicious! And everyone like it, which you're always happy to hear and is a confidence booster.
Hope ya'll have a sweet day!
I love the way the horse is looking though the fence. It's right at her eye level. So cute!
The other day I was out taking pictures and my younger sisters were out making a fort in the woods. I decided to snap a few pictures of them. It ended up being dinner time right as I got out there but I was able to get a few.
I remember making forts in the woods when I was younger....I haven't made one in a while but it sure is fun! You can imagine a huge fortress or a humble cottage, a blackberry cave or even a skunk cabbage palace! So many ideas and they are all yours to bring alive!
Balancing on a branch for a picture....sorry the lighting wasn't good.
Chester saw us and was wondering what we had been doing in the woods. He's so cute!
So today bring your imagination to life! There is no telling what tomorrow may bring!
Isn't your brain amazing? God is amazing! And He made our brains to be able to understand His amazing World. You just have to open your eyes (Or have Christ open your eyes) to see all the wonderful blessings around you.
I think often times we take things for granted while not realizing it. Like rain, sun (those in California), food, clean water all the time, sturdy safe houses, cars, jobs, school or even friends.
So today take an extra moment to thank the Lord God for every single blessing in your life.
Blessings to all, from your, Country Girl. | 2019-04-20T22:09:19 | https://chesterscountry.weebly.com/blog/archives/06-2013 |
I have a newfound respect for convertibles and other thoughts about the two.
Let’s get the obvious out of the way. That V8 is fun to mess with! Not only was watching my car from the outside a strange experience, but mashing the go pedal and feeling the instant response and “going” from the GT compared to my experiencing the building anticipation and go of Ecoboost engines for the last three years is a positive strange. The GT just wants to go and go and GO in any gear and at any speed!! my EB is more of a get ready GO depending on the gear and speed.
The GT’s 3.31 gearing makes it so you can go from 0-45mph in 1st gear. My 3.55s make it so I shift into 2nd below 40mph. My friend has hit 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and I’ve managed a 5.5 second attempt and could maybe get closer to 5 seconds if I tried harder.
The MPG difference in our last tank refills is neat. 17.4MPG vs 20.6MPG is somewhat close.
The GT wins hands down for off the lot fun buhoonery, and the EB needs very little (if you’re mechanically inclined) to reach it’s maximum fun potential without blowing it up. That V8 is fun and I could get into much trouble if I had that as a DD. I maintain I made the right choice for myself at the time with the EB.
I really wanna drive an Challenger next. | 2019-04-22T22:01:03 | https://oppositelock.kinja.com/i-drove-a-2016-gt-back-to-back-with-my-eb-1818507345 |

This is right around the corner from where we "lived" when we were in Paris! Thank you for the view!
I love how you capture such beauty with the light! That is what it is all about.
What a beautiful colour when the shines, Eric! I too love this, when the sun shines on the Cotswold stone in my county. Lucky we always have our cameras with us!
I don't recall ever having really seen La Madeleine from this angle. It's fabulous!
Such beauty, Eric, thank you.
Today (it's still Sunday in California) a few of us enjoyed a leisurely lunch in your honor. Jeff (visiting from Minnesota) will send you a picture. It was Jeff, me, Carrie and your new fan, Jennifer. Carrie brought books of Paris and we shared our Paris dreams, as well as our love and admiration for you, Eric, and PDP.
And this is a delightful photo to come home to after our reminiscences of the City of Light. Merci!
There is a Decathlon @ La Madeleine?! Good to know! I love that place.
What's on the roof ?
What a beautiful chance to look at all the details!
We love it when you "pull your trigger" eric.
@Tomate, yes there is, and about a million other stores. My favourite is still the flower market there though. A bit of nature to offset the commercial side.
Excellent photo Eric. I hope the sun sticks around for a little while longer, but I fear it won't.
Some sunlight always makes a good picture.
Thanks, Eric—don't know what I'd do without my daily dose of your always surprising Paris. This shot is beautifully composed. Sounds like the SoCal PDPers had a great time with Jeff!
Thank you Eric for starting my week on the right note!
The City of Light dazzles us once again, with your help, of course, Eric. Just lovely.
Really capsized by this picture. I think you are the most amazing photographer I ever know. And I have the feeling that I could recognize your signature amongst others. Sure it is beautiful, moving and breathtaking. Such an angle.
Where is the LIKE button?!!
But how many people know about the verey good restaurant under the church?
When I close my eyes and think Paris, these are the colours I imagine. To me Paris is "golden".
Lovely light and so beautifully captured. Thank you for bringing us all the variety of shots you do. PDP rocks, always!
Simply lovely, Eric. I love shopping in Place Madeleine. The ambience is quite beautiful. Thank you for this golden view.
Must add, along with all the others, that I really like this photo. The sunlight makes it magical. | 2019-04-19T14:33:44 | https://www.parisdailyphoto.com/2011/01/sunny-paris.html |

NEW YORK (AP) — About 500 demonstrators in New York have turned out to protest Israeli actions against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.
Zouleikha Ban says she was born in Algeria, but protesters feel they are all Palestinians because she says “there is no justice” in Gaza.
Protest organizers called for an end to U.S. aid to Israel.
A social media movement aimed at uniting Jews and Arabs planned a silent protest and candlelight vigil in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza near U.N. headquarters later Saturday.
Hundreds of pro-Palestinian supporters demonstrated in front of a midtown Manhattan office building on Aug. 1 after a 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire broke down in Gaza. | 2019-04-21T14:46:26 | https://apnews.com/e8bdd93b83de4fa78ef77e79528b0790 |
Flexographic printing » SIPCO - SHAYA ISATIS PRINTING Co.
Sipco prints up to 8 colors with a center cylinder printing machine without gearwheels. High-quality finished products, the possibility to print any repeat lengths, reproducible results in case of repeat orders by our high-quality color-composing and color mixing systems are characteristic of Sipco prints.
According to your wishes, we offer you e.g. the backing-up (also called perfecting) – by which first the motif is printed on the underside of a length of film and, in a second step, the printed side is laminated against another length of film. Apart from that, there is recto printing by which the motif is printed on a length of film from the front – with the disadvantages of less abrasion resistance of the colors and less shine.
In case of mixtures (rarely used), the film is printed in backing-up without a second length of film laminated against it (that is an exception and not to be used in case of food packaging). | 2019-04-24T12:47:40 | http://www.sipco.ws/en/?page_id=289 |
What is the difference in choosing a contractor? What is the difference in choosing a brand?
There are many manufacturers of heating and cooling equipment. As a heating and cooling contractor, we must select what we feel to be the most reliable products available to put our name behind. A poor product is a reflection of the dealer. At Godby, we take great pride in associating our name with the products we offer because of the in-depth research we do in selecting these products. At Godby we feel that our task is to provide 100% expertise on our product and our product is service. In these tough times, it only makes sense to stand behind products that work and work well. We have chosen products from manufacturers that are leaders in the HVACR industry year in and year out.

London based taxi-booking app Karhoo, has filed for bankruptcy protection in New York.
The Karhoo app, which let customers to compare cab fares on smartphones before booking a ride. Founded in November 2014 by Daniel Ishag, the Startup ran out of money after expanding from London to nine other English cities, Paris and Singapore.
“It is with much regret that we have to announce that Karhoo has had to close its service and is now looking at the next steps for the business. The board is taking advice in that respect.
The Karhoo staff around the world in London, New York, Singapore and Tel Aviv have, over the past 18-months, worked tirelessly to make Karhoo a success.
Unfortunately, it became clear two weeks ago that the financial situation was getting pretty dire with Karhoo in urgent need of funding. Discussion with a potential new backer ended last night forcing the company to stop trading.
We would like to thank our staff, our partners, the fleets around the world that shared our vision, and the hundreds of thousands of people who downloaded the app and supported what we were trying to do.” said the official statement released by Karhoo.
Karhoo had problems with fraud that caused a large number of credit card payment rejections, and it was generous with refunds to customers who had a bad experience. Also, coupons were used indiscriminately to bring more customers onboard which led to this financial turmoil. | 2019-04-21T08:18:55 | https://timesofstartups.com/world/london-based-startup-karhoo-filed-bankruptcy/ |
Congratulations on the decision to Baptize your child! We want to support you in the celebration of this incredible Sacrament.
As part of the process, we require a copy of your child's birth certificate, and a Baptismal registration form. The Baptismal Registration form can be picked up in our Parish Offices, but is also available below. If you are unable to supply a birth certificate, you may discuss alternate options when you are contacted by the parish. This information can be returned to the Parish Office, or sent electronically to Lila Ruiz, lila.ruiz@shbham.org.
Please contact Lila Ruiz, lila.ruiz@shbham.org, with all of your questions, paperwork, and scheduling for Baptismal Preparation and Baptism.
If you are an adult seeking Baptism, please reference our page on Joining the Catholic Church.
First, please feel free to watch the accompanying video of Bishop Barron speaking on the Sacrament of Baptism.
Second, Sacred Heart does require a short Baptismal Preparation Program. A child is baptized into a faith community and you, the family, are the first teachers of your child. You, assisted by your child's godparents, are the ones responsible for raising your child in the faith. Therefore, it is important to the parish that parents (and, if possible, the godparents) receive catechesis before your child is Baptized, so that you are better equipped to fulfill your Baptismal promises of fostering the faith in your little one.
Third, at Sacred Heart we Baptize people of all ages. Children who are younger than 7 years-old do not attend religious education in preparation of their Baptism. Children 7 years-old and up are requested to attend Religious Education in preparation of their Baptism. | 2019-04-22T12:22:24 | http://www.shbham.org/baptism |

The witnesses directed San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies to where parolee Enrique Frausto, 22, of Rialto was leading to his arrest on the afternoon of Saturday, July 7, according to a sheriff’s statement.
A sheriff’s helicopter found Frausto in the 12600 block of Third Street were he was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and violation on the terms of his parole. He was booked into Central Detention Center and is being held without bail.
Just after 2:30 p.m., sheriff’s dispatch received multiple 911 calls about the shooting in the 12300 block of Fourth Street, the news release said.
The victim was shot in the stomach, arms and back. Paramedics took the wounded man to an area hospital where he underwent emergency surgery, the Sheriff’s Department said. The man is in critical condition and is expected to survive.
As the 22-year-old ran from the shooting scene, investigators said Frausto tossed the handgun and despite a search using an evidence detection dog, the gun has not yet been found.
Authorities ask anyone who may have found the firearm or who may have information on the case to call the Yucaipa sheriff’s station at 909-918-2305. | 2019-04-25T06:26:35 | https://www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/2018/07/09/rialto-parolee-accused-of-shooting-man-in-yucaipa/?shared=email&msg=fail |

Home / Column / At a loss for words indeed!
At a loss for words indeed!
My column will be quite short today because I’m truly at a loss for words! I don’t even know where to start. So I suppose I’ll begin with the absolute garbage which was released in Parliament last week.
Does Minister of the Environment Denis Lowe seriously expect us to believe the Government decided not to go ahead with the Cahill project because of the protest of Barbadians? Really? When he was so adamant the Government had carefully considered all aspects of the project and felt it was in the best interest of Barbados?
I shake my head at the people who think their voices make a difference. Instead, we should be thanking God the Government is no longer pursing the Cahill project because, to quote the minister, it “had taken into consideration recent events in London and other places, which had revealed that waste-to-energy operations and plasma gasification projects had shown up significant flaws”. Weren’t educated and informed Bajans telling the Government this from the start? Please!
And while I’m on the subject of politicians not listening to the people, I recently heard that after the millions spent by the previous Government on Greenland (in spite of the protests of the people), not one ton of garbage has ever been delivered there; but people still report for work every day and are paid. That must be a rumour; something to render me speechless. Six is really half-dozen.
Another thing that has me speechless is the audacity of the Government to suggest MPs and ministers should have their salary cut restored. I can only assume someone told the Government that Jubilee (the biblical celebration) was a time of restoration, and therefore it thought that since it is our Jubilee it could have this pay cut restored.
I hope our leaders will not press ahead with such an outrageous proposal when many others in this nation are still reeling from pay cuts and terminations, and many people are “scrunting”, as we say in Barbados. If I wasn’t so unfit, I would have joined the walk from Heroes Square to Browne’s Beach; but let the record show my protest here.
Let me get away from politics; but I’m still on Government. I had to go to Immigration for a friend who lives in Jamaica this week. In front of me in the line was an old man, 80 if he was a day, asking for passport forms. The receptionist told him there were no forms, so he would have to go online, download them and print them.
The poor man had no clue what she was talking about. She asked him if he didn’t have anyone with a computer to do it for him, and he said no. She then told him that the Post Office had an Internet café on the ground floor and he could do there and print one. Really? She figured the man would know what an Internet café is and that he could be able to get someone to print them for him?
