Stepping into 2016, one of the ideas for the new year was the goal of cultivating more curiosity. I am someone who, once I decide to start a project I put my head down and just go, go, go. And often, after several weeks of this, I start to feel…blah. You know, all work and no play…even when the work is making art, I find that I need regular infusions of new things to wake me up. One of the ways that I’ve been trying to weave new experiences into my days is to cultivate more curiosity, to encourage curiosity when it pops into my mind. If I have the thought “I wonder what is down that street?” or “what would happen if…?” I am making an effort to turn down the street, or try the new thing. Does it seem silly that I have to make an effort to be curious? No doubt, this comes naturally to many of you, an unstoppable force, but I can be so practical and habit-driven sometimes that I forget to allow time and space for curiosity. Curiosity can start to feel indulgent with the demands of daily life. So I remind myself.
What does this have to do with art? I find that curiosity is a habit of mind…if I don’t exercise it outside of the studio, it becomes more difficult to exercise it inside the studio. It’s like trying to run a marathon without training for it. Also, cultivating curiosity outside of the studio is a very safe, gentle form of risk-taking, and for those of us who are risk-averse (yours truly) it’s like yoga for our minds… stretching, so that we can be more limber and willing to take risks in the studio.
I also find that new things tickle my brain in a way that encourages new ideas. Landscape is my painting subject, and putting myself in new environments is part of my art practice. My Periphery Project has shown me parts of the Bay Area I had never seen, and triggered so many new ideas in my work. A limber, open mind is fertile ground for new ideas. So, practicing curiosity is a way to invite new ideas.
One of my favorite ways to practice curiosity is taking workshops. I’m currently taking a 16-week online workshop, and it makes me think in totally new ways.
Come take a workshop with me!
I’m teaching two workshops soon, and I believe there is still room in both to sign up. The first is my “Precision, Layering and Clarity” workshop at Wax Works West, April 30-May 2. This workshop is also available November 19-21. Both classes are currently open for registration.
The second workshop is the 5-day in-depth “Transparent Layering and Mixed Media Techniques” at Idyllwild Arts Academy, June 27 – July 1. Idyllwild is currently offering an early pay discount of 5% if you sign up by April 15. But if you mention that you learned about the workshop through me, they’ll bump that discount up to 10%! They also offer an ongoing bring-a-friend discount of $50 if you register with a friend. Thank you, Idyllwild Arts!

We've got two closures to report in Boulder, both of them somewhat surprising.
First to go down? Spud Brothers at 2010 10th Street, which closed the doors on August 28, much to the disappointment of Micks and stoners city-wide. According to the official report from Spud Brothers management, the big problem was that the city of Boulder wouldn't allow them to stay open past 11 p.m., and that they were turning people away every night. And while, yes, I can see that this would be frustrating, I just can't imagine how an all french fry restaurant couldn't find a way to make it in a city like Boulder.
In any event, Spud made it just over a year before giving up the ghost. The space is still open and wanting for a new operator. Perhaps some sort of all potato chip and hash brown restaurant?

Also done in? Sunflower restaurant at 1701 Pearl Street. According to my Boulder area spies, this one may not be down for the count. There is apparently some hope that the vegetarian friendly (and occasionally very good) restaurant is only temporarily closed for repairs or some sort of remodel. But then again, as anyone who has read this blog for a while will know, "Closed for Remodel" is, nine times out of ten, just restaurant-world code for "Sold the booze, emptied the register and fucked off for Aruba." It rarely ever means anything good.
Still, I'm holding out hope. I liked Sunflower a lot in its original incarnation and would hate to see the area lose one of the few restaurants that managed to serve both vegetarians and carnivores side-by-side with no violence or loss of quality.

Gifts from here
Missing your weekly local kale fix? The farmer’s market heyday might be over for 2011, but locavores in the know have shifted their energies to holiday shopping, and they’re not heading to Target. Each Saturday in December, the Holiday Market delivers the buy-local vibe from 8am to 2pm, right up through Christmas Eve. Check it out in the City Market spot between Water and South Streets. Buy a locally made gift, and you’re giving back to the local economy too.—Erika Howsare
LEAP loans at 0 percent
There are fewer and fewer reasons not to upgrade your house’s energy efficiency. Now you can cross “loan too expensive” off the list, because LEAP and the UVA Community Credit Union are offering PowerSaver loans at an extremely reasonable 0 percent.
This offer’s for residents of Charlottesville and the five surrounding counties who sign on to the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program through LEAP. You can use the loan money for stuff like better insulation, new skylights, HVAC upgrades, and so on—the kinds of improvements that make your house tighter and your energy bills lower.
A gardener’s yule
What does the gardener dream of, dozing by the Yuletide fire? Favorite tools that need tending or replacing, a longed-for extravagance like a load of compost (and someone to spread it)? Perhaps plans for spring.
My favorite tools are three: a long, narrow “poacher’s spade” that will slip out a sliver of plant in a heartbeat; a soil knife with a boxwood handle carved by an old friend; and the “Clawdia,” which fits snugly in the palm of your hand and looks exactly like it sounds, invaluable for scuffing through small weeds around new seedlings and breaking through a dried pudding skin of ground. Composed of a plastic grip that allows your fingers to wield a hand of curved metal spikes, it is nearly indestructible, but the wooden handles of the others could use a light sanding and rubbing with a rag dipped in linseed oil.
Another timely tool-related task is to see to the saw blades. I am loath to admit I share with our previous president an appreciation for the therapeutic benefits of brush-cutting. Through this dormant season I want implements sharp and clean for cutting back the redbud that’s getting too close to the house, thinning witch hazel trunks (sculpt a crape myrtle if you have one) and cutting up fallen trees and shrubs that lay along the creek bank.
I prefer a folding saw with a curved blade for pruning larger branches because it’s easier to fit in narrow angles and more maneuverable than a straight saw. Long-handled loppers are handy for smaller offshoots, hand shears for the little stuff. For saws, if the tips are broken or the blades dulled, buy new ones from the hardware store or garden center. If they’re dirty and stained from sap, give them a little alcohol rub and a squirt of WD40. Hand shear blades can be sharpened if you know what you’re doing and like to putter, or taken to Martin Hardware, which sends them on to a local sharpener.
If not brush along a waterside or woodland, you may have a problem with invasives like bittersweet, Japanese honeysuckle, multiflora rose, or English ivy. This is a much better time to rogue them out than when they’re threatening to strangle you in summer. Save herbicides for then when they’re actively growing and can suck that poison down. For now, cut and mow everything as close as possible.
As long as the ground’s not frozen you can dig out roots and pile on cardboard, newspaper and foot-thick organic mulches (wood chips, sawdust, stable straw, hardwood mulch, leaf-mold, compost) to prepare a planting bed for spring: shrubs and perennials, trees and groundcover, vegetables. Alternatively, you could keep it mowed on the same schedule as the turf. Or perhaps treat it as a meadow, cutting once each winter to allow wild-flowers to self-seed and keep the woodies down. You might be surprised at what comes up.
Whatever your heart’s desire. This is winter after all, the time for dreaming.—Cathy Clary

TIPS FROM BETTER WORLD BETTY
Six ways to shop local
This season, Betty helps you think outside the gift box. Don’t fall into the Amazon trap; instead, give the gift of patronizing local businesses!
(Courtesy Red Rocker Candy)
1. Couch shoppers, head to a cool new online gift shop created by Kate Bennis, Redbud Gifts, which offers local gifts, goodies, and experiences as well as charitable giving opportunities. Purchase a massage or language class, or have a local filmmaker “make your movie.” Everything in the shop originates within 100 miles of Charlottesville. See redbudgifts.com.
2. Visit the Craftacular, a favorite venue of mine for unique hand-made gifts featuring local artists and designers, held this year at Cityspace on December 10 and 11, 10am-6pm.
3. Check out the great selection of upcycled clothing at Firefish Gallery, on Second St. NW just off the Mall.
4. Choose a book written by Virginia authors at Crozet’s Over the Moon Bookstore and Gallery or at one of the many used bookstores in town.
5. Support the local live-performance scene with tickets to a show at the Jefferson Theater, The Southern, The Paramount or Live Arts.
6. Bring your holiday host a fine Virginia wine, or Red Rocker Candy (I’m addicted) made in Troy.

Reading through my RSS feed this morning and Milkwood provided yet another awesome post (love you guys). There were 2 videos embedded, one from Nicole Foss and the other from David Holmgren. Nicole outlines a goodly part of the problem and David hands us the answer. Doesn’t come clearer than this. 🙂
I’ve embedded the videos here again as I think they are well worth watching. We are living in momentous times and things are about to change, and rapidly.

Replace stop lights with roundabouts
Why is there such an antipathy in this area toward roundabouts in general and the one proposed for 124th and Hwy. 203 at Novelty in particular? As a native of the UK I have seen roundabouts become widespread in Britain and across most of Europe.
The principle is very simple ‹ as you approach the roundabout, you look left and if any vehicle is approaching on the roundabout, you give way to it and wait until it is clear.
If nothing is coming, you don't need to stop and can keep going. Once you are on the roundabout, you go round until you reach your exit and peel off.
Anybody waiting to enter the junction from an entrance that you are approaching must wait for you to pass.
There are several advantages to roundabouts over traffic lights. First, a roundabout has no set "timing" as the priority is assigned by the traffic flow itself. Second, the geometry of the junction forces all traffic to slow down even if nothing is coming, as the result of approaching too fast is to finish up sitting ignominiously in the middle of the mound. Third, as there is no set stop and go time, the switching time where all traffic is stopped is eliminated.
In short, roundabouts work! The animosity is purely a reaction to a new type of traffic scheme not seen here before.
We consider ourselves to be the most advanced nation on earth, but we can't handle a traffic scheme proven to work well everywhere else it has been tried worldwide (with the exception of France where traffic on the roundabout must give way to traffic entering it!). Come on! We can do it! I for one would love to see many of the stop lights between here and Redmond replaced with roundabouts. They even work during power outages and after earthquakes!

i sent out 16 poems today. 6 to ZYX and 5 to Horror Sleaze Trash and Hiram Poetry Review. when i hear back from these places i will post the verdicts.
i was really disappointed with the Manchester United game yesterday. they fucking lost in penalty kicks to a team in the league beneath them. 3 United players missed penalties; Rooney, Carrick and Young. fuck me. not even to mention that the ref missed 2 obvious fucking handballs in the box. what truly pissed me off was this was another classic example of this United team playing down to its' competition. that fucking drives me insane. the sad thing is you could see the teenagers actually trying to do something positive. everyone else acted like they didn't want to be at home playing in front of 70,000 fans or so. needless to say i was livid after the game. mom got upset with me after the game. i laughed as i chose to actually shave and take a shower after the game. i guess i'm supposed to start drinking, break shit and then beat the ones i love like a good sports fan. and they think i'm the one that has gone crazy.
thankfully, NXT was excellent last night. the tag team match between Jason Jordan and Chad Gable vs. Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa was off the charts great. overall, the show was just what i needed after that shitty soccer game.
American Horror Story was great last night. each episode gets a little darker and more graphic. LOVE IT. You're The Worst was great as well.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight so i will be flipping between the NFL game, some college football and some hockey. maybe even some NBA as well.
i did catch some of the Sacramento Kings loss to the Clippers last night. i do think the Kings will be better this season. i doubt they will make the playoffs out west, but i do think they will be close. hopefully.
that's all for me today. i think mom and i may go out later today. i know she said she wanted to get some things. if so, maybe something will spark my imagination for tomorrow. i'm not holding my breath.
i should be on here sometime in the afternoon tomorrow. not that you actually plan your day around this blog (like you should).
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
peace and chicken grease...

I am finally bringing another post to my blogging series! Today’s topic – networking!! This is something that I didn’t really realize I had a strategy for…it seemed to just naturally happen at the time, but now looking back I did really prioritize building relationships with the Seattle fashion community and it has brought me a ton of fulfillment to my blogging business. You want to be networking with the brand side, (ie. attending events, reaching out to local businesses, etc.), but also with OTHER BLOGGERS. I can honestly say, networking with other bloggers has been the biggest blessing of it all. Here are a few simple tips to up your involvement in your own city!
Find people / brands with hashtags!
Instagram hashtags are a powerful tool when it comes to researching! Search things like #seattleblogger or #seattlebusiness or #seattlefashion. The list really does go on! Once you start exploring that hashtag, you will likely find tons of people and brands who you can connect with! Also make sure to be including those searchable tags in your own photos so that other people can find you!
This has been an awesome way for me to connect and make friends. Search for local blogging or business groups, as well as larger nation-wide groups! The local ones are great for instant connection, but often you’ll find people from your city in the large ones too!
This was big for me in the beginning and where I happened to meet a lot of my friends! During my first few years of blogging, I would go to nearly every single event that I was invited to. I was eager to connect as well as get my name out there. I will say that now that I have done TONS of networking, I rarely attend events. They are so much fun, especially in the beginning. But for those of you who don’t know, I live a bit outside of the city so it is not a casual thing for me to attend them. They often took up my entire day and hours in traffic. Now I ask myself what ones I think are really worth all my time and effort and plan accordingly. I do think that they are really important in the beginning though and such a great way to meet local people in your industry in person!
Don’t be shy!
Go up and say hi. Send that DM or email. Ask her to coffee. Just do it! These things often seem so scary at first but really do lead you to find some of your best friends or biggest brand deals. It is called ‘social’ media for a reason – and that’s what blogging is all about! So be social!
Overall, a lot of networking comes from putting yourself out there. It is always uncomfortable at first. I remember when I first started building connection in the Seattle community, I was SO nervous and self conscious. I would over-think everything, it was really challenging. So I completely understand any hesitation or nerves you are feeling when it comes to any of the things mentioned above. My words of encouragement to you would be that it 100% does get easier and it is all worth it! You can always send me a message and I’m happy to chat about it too!

Randy: You’ve spoken out about your experience with “ex-gay therapy” – can you tell us about it?
Justin: I can tell you that it doesn’t work. After coming back from my Mormon mission, I went to my bishop and told him I was having these feelings that I might be gay. So they sent me to a facility run by the church which is like the church’s “therapy/counseling” type thing. It’s all bound by church social science, so they can’t really explore outside the realm of that. So he sent me there to ask for a specialist in “same gender attraction disorder” – because homosexuality means that you’re sexual and they didn’t want you to be sexual so you have an affliction, it’s like a disease. So I went to this one on one therapist for two years and then group therapy for the same amount of time. It was kind of like AA where everyone sits in a circle and talks, but with “ex-gay therapy” everyone is still gay the next week. At first it was liberating because I had met people who were in the same boat because I had spent 20-something years thinking I was the only one who was having these ‘issues’. But then, like, a year into it I was like “so when do things change?”
In the end, the therapist had me convinced I had been molested as a child. So before I even came out to my family I had told my parents I had been molested as a child. The one who called it out was my mom. And she was like, there was never a day when you ‘came home from piano lessons an hour late.’ The way your conscious works, I would have known if something had happened. So this whole idea of whatever you’re going through, this repressed memory that never happened needs to stop and you need to deal with your bullshit. So I decided to stop the ex-gay therapy, and I decided to start dating someone.

The sales form by the value of the object of recommendations about the appropriate form of sale often make, but there are also very many items, where the decision is not so easy to make. That’s why every man for himself must decide what kind of online trading for him is the most suitable. In addition to the well known auctions, where you don’t know until the last second, how much money it now has taken, there are platforms on which you can set a price at which the item is sold or rather like on a bazaar at the end easily can negotiate this. In addition, there are also vendors, which it sends to its media and receives a fixed price per article and is thus directly up the stress will occupy but also less money. These are the options for sale pure, in addition it is also possible to change things. Depending on the platform either directly with another Person and so the large Brockhaus maybe against the total collection of the Beatles on CD to share or against a virtual currency, which then themselves use to something from someone else to get. It’s believed that J. Darius Bikoff sees a great future in this idea. Less likely to encounter are platforms, where it is also possible to offer money and items together in a trade, but also this is possible.
Would no longer sell the item, you simply change, there are several platforms that allow this. Mostly it gives away his subject directly to an interested person, books there but also the way they are in a public place and easy to write this so that others can have their joy because on the Web page. Overall, there are many ways in which you can make his subjects to money thus. For one self and his subjects is most appropriate, but you must decide. The charges completely does almost any platform without fees, for providing the Web pages work and costs money. However, vary the fees for individual providers greatly and are also at different times in the process. Some paying a fee, which is according to the type of the object, and partly after the price already when setting up a bid. In addition falls in almost all cases after the successful sale of yet another fee.
This depends mostly on the selling price, may occur but also in the form of a fixed amount. One finds the exact conditions on the websites of the provider, times directly searchable, time in the help documents. Total you should verify before deciding on a Web page, very precisely the charges suddenly not to pay more than it actually took to the subject matter. Usability is a smaller Nebenpunkt, which is but also not to neglect, the usability of the actual page. Quickly to get to my destination and find me, what I’m looking for? These are important questions, the one at first exploring of a new Web page should be. This is not the case, you should look around more in the alternatives, because otherwise the frustration potential is high in the long term. No two Internet platforms on which private individuals can offer their items are exactly the same. On the contrary, many differ in many points. Therefore, it is important not only a page to look at, but more and for a yourself and your own needs to select appropriate page. Jenni Brehm

If I only see you once…
When her flight home is canceled a few days before Christmas, Moe Scott spontaneously agrees to spend a few hours sight-seeing with a fellow passenger. At the time, she doesn’t know the moments with James will change her life, nor does she know that before her plane takes off the next morning, she will turn around to find James gone.
With no way to contact him, Moe returns home only to lose everything before the new year dawns. Completely alone, jobless, and faced with the news that she is going blind, Moe remembers her time with James and clings to the idea of embracing the moments of vision she has left.
When opportunities for love and friendship come in the most unexpected places, Moe faces the choice of whether to continue to wait for the man who changed her life.
Will Moe and James ever find each other again? Can she learn to appreciate the beauty in each moment God provides and inspire those beyond her own darkness, even if she never sees again?
A once upon a Christmas inspires her story. Her ever after changes the world.
Please Note: While this is Book 3 in the Christmas Card Series, it does not share characters or storylines with the other two books in the series. The books are related only in that they are stand-alone, inspirational Christmas stories and can be read in any order.
Yay! This is the book that I actually wanted to release last year, but God had other plans! It took me over six months to write, which for me is a really long time! Several aspects of this book make it special. The other two books in the series have become so very popular and loved. God has used them in ways that continue to amaze me. With that comes a great deal of pressure. I don’t want to disappoint, even though I constantly tell myself that I write for him, and it’s only ever been in His hands.
Further complicating things, The Christmas Card books tend to be my most personal and based on much of my own experiences. I explain in the Authors’s Note at the end of the book, as I did with the other books, what the “truth” of the story is and how it came to be. Writing in this way opens yourself, your thoughts, and your experiences up to the world in very scary way, and after obsessing about this book for so long, I am quite worried that all of it actually stinks! 😉 While I am assured by others who have read it already that it is quite amazing, I can’t wait until you read it!
Tip: This is one I would definitely not wait to order! 99 cents is the introductory price, and it is set to increase soon after its release!
What do you think? Which of the Christmas Card books was your favorite so far (links below)? Any questions or ideas about what this one is like? Warning: Like many of my other books, this one is not going to end the way you think it will!
If you just can’t wait, check out or reread the other two books in the series. Though set at Christmas, their story and message is one for the whole year!
Please Note: Affiliate links may be used on this website. That means that if you purchase after clicking one of my links, I may get a small commission on that sale. A win for both of us! 🙂

Epigenetics - our bodies' way to change the destiny written in our DNA | Moshe Szyf | TEDxBratislava
- Epigenetics - our bodies' way to change the destiny written in our DNA | Moshe Szyf | TEDxBratislava
more » « less
What we thought of as something fixed, DNA is actually very cleverly modified according to current environmental needs. Even before a baby is born, it already knows what world to prepare itself for. In this talk, Moshe sheds light on his groundbreaking findings.
Moshe Szyf is one of the pioneers in the field of epigenetics. Szyf’s lab proposed three decades ago that DNA methylation is a prime therapeutic target in cancer and other diseases, and has postulated and provided the first set of evidence that the “social environment” early in life can alter DNA methylation, launching the emerging field of “social epigenetics.” The Szyf lab is interested in understanding basic epigenetic mechanisms and their broad implications in human behavior, health and disease, as well as in developing epigenetics-based therapeutics and diagnostics.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

Things I wish I knew before starting college
By Melissa Nilan, Marketing-Communications Office
Avoid pain, disappointment and potential epic fails in your first year with excellent advice from students who’ve been there.
Ask for help
If you’re struggling in your classes or feeling overwhelmed, ask for help. The instructors at Douglas have office hours for a reason, so drop by for a chat and ask questions. They’re human too, and sitting in an office all by yourself can get lonely after a while, so student visits are appreciated. There is also the Learning Centre for tutoring and writing help, and Counselling Services for personal and emotional support.
Look into financial aid options
Financial aid isn’t just for full-time students with super high grades. There are also part-time studies grants, as well as bursaries. If you’re paying for school yourself, don’t hesitate to talk to a Financial Aid Advisor about your options. You never know what you might be eligible for, even if you think you’re not.
It’s easy to get stuck in a routine of going to the cafeteria when it’s just so darn convenient. But it’s hard on your wallet and your body if you make it a regular thing. Pack your lunch and some snacks, and don’t just live on coffee! Bring a water bottle and fill it up at our environmentally friendly drinking fountains. (Some of them even have a special water bottle spout and track how many times it’s been used.)
The library isn’t your only source for study space, computers and printers. The Douglas Students’ Union building also has quiet study space, extra computers and printers. Save some money on textbooks through the Textbook Exchange on Facebook. Also, if you can stand not having a physical copy, e-books are cheaper than their paper counterpart, especially when there is an online component.
If you don’t have an academic or career goal, it can be tempting to just take whatever courses sound interesting. However, eventually you’ll have to decide what your plan is, and you don’t want to regret doing a bunch of courses that aren’t helpful to you. So be mindful of the future when you’re scrolling through the course catalogue each semester. (Also, make sure you know what the different credentials mean. A diploma is not the same as an associate degree, and they generally lead in different directions.)
On the other hand, while knowing exactly what you want to do is admirable, be sure you’ve done your research and know what you’re getting yourself into. You don’t want to plan on being a teacher and then find out at the end of your degree that you don’t particularly like working with children. Who knows, you might also discover another career option through your electives. So follow your dreams, but be informed and keep an open mind along the way.
Sit at the front of the class. Although it sounds daunting, your grades will thank you. Being closer to the professor prevents you from falling asleep and getting too distracted by your phone or your friends.
This goes double for outside the classroom. College isn’t just about going to class, studying, taking exams, repeat. That would be so boring! Check out all the events and activities going on around campus, and consider getting involved. You’ll meet awesome people and develop life skills that can help you get a job later on.
That said, there is such a thing as being over-involved, and you may find your health or grades suffering if you commit to too much. Work-life balance is essential to being healthy and happy, so work hard, have fun – and remember to chill.
Special thanks to the following students for their contributions to this article: Sabrina Gaspar, Marissa Martin, Klyde Ouano and Mary Valdez

The wife and I have a short list of go-to restaurants for friends visiting from out of town. Rasika, which offers a modern take on Indian cuisine, just made the list.
There are two locations – one in Penn Quarter and the other in a nondescript area in D.C. called “West End.” We were well on our way to the former location recently, but our reservation was at the latter. After a few twists and turns that would make Popeye Doyle proud …
… we found ourselves careening into the valet stand at the restaurant, which was obscured by a construction site that covered half the street. Black and blue dominated the interior, very chic. This was the kind of place where guys were expected to unbutton their shirts to the second button and necklines plunge beyond the belly nether regions, yet it was very cozy. The hosts were impeccable and polite, and immediately showed us to our table in the middle of the dining area. I noticed that on the ceiling adjacent to the bar, there was a big statue hand giving the “shocker” sign. I thought it was funny and chuckled to myself. The wife did not.
OK, back to the food. The spinach appetizer – which most Yelp.com reviewers raved about – was crispy, light, tasty and creamy, all at once.
We followed up with the Galouti Kebab, consisting of smoked lamb, cashews, rose petals and saffron. I washed it down with a glass of pinot noir (or two).
My entree was Dum Ki Buryani, lamb chunks with basmati rice and saffron. The lamb melted in my mouth and the rice was fantastic. Dare I say it was a thousand times better than any plain white rice I’ve had with Chinese food? No way! 2 + 2 = 5. Oy-y-y.
I came very close to ordering rice pudding dessert, but discretion was the better part of valor this time. The meal and service were excellent, and we left Rasika fat, sleepy and happy. And we have plenty of other dishes to sample on our next trip.
On a scale of 1 to 4 hurricanes bearing down on the East Coast with 4 being best, Rasika earned 4 hurricanes. Shocker.

Men’s Team – Round 1
White: Ruiyang ZHOU (China) 9p
Black: Daniel Daehyuk KO (USA) 7d
Daniel Ko, the 7-dan from Los Angeles, California acquits himself quite well in this game against a world champion. Zhou won the first Bai Lin Ai Tou Cup, was a finalist in the 18th LG Cup and a member of the championship Chinese team in the 13th Nong Shim Cup. This game features a modern-style professional opening and competing moyos that both players invade. This could have been a close game but in the key fight in the middle-game, white pulls ahead in territory while attacking black.

Summary of Facts and Submissions
I. European patent application 79 302 938.0 filed on 18 December 1979 and published on 20 August 1980 with publication number 14 292 claiming the priority of the prior applications of 18 December 1978 and 13 December 1979 in the United States of America, was refused by the decision of the Examining Division 013 of the European Patent Office dated 25 October 1982. The decision was based on claims I to 16. The main claim was worded as follows:
A method for compounding a melt foming resin with mica particles and a heat sensitive chlorinated hydrocarbon additive, characterised by contacting a mass of molten resin with a blend of the mica and additive and mixing the molten resin and the blend by kneading"
II. (a) The reason given for the refusal was that the main claim did not involve an inventive step having regard to the state of the art known from FR-A-2 385 768. The cited art was also concerned with the compounding of melt-forming resins with silicates, e.g. mica, and chlorinated hydrocarbon additives. In one preferred embodiment, a blend of mica additive was first prepared and was then mixed with the resin. The mixture was subsequently kneaded non-intensively in an extruder. However, the resin was not molten at the time of contact with the mixture of mica and the additive, but was a powder.
(b) The Examining Division stated that the above mentioned difference ensured the novelty of the applicants claim 1. Nevertheless, the use of molten resin had no apparent significance or advantage. The processing time was not significantly shorter than that obtained according to the cited document. Since it was known that the additives were heat sensitive, the reduction of processing time and the avoidance of high sheer mixing, causing uncontrollable temperature rises, had been obvious measures.
(c) The cited art showed how this could be done. Within the given temperature range for processing, i.e. 170-300°C, the higher ranges were said to result in a shorter processing time. Yet the properties of the product so obtained were good and no mentioning was made of any degradation of the additives.
(d) The decision emphasises that no improvement of the properties of the product had been convincingly demonstrated in comparison with the cited state of the art. Whilst there might have been some improvement in tensile strength the applicant's product had a poorer flexual strength.
III. On 3 January 1983 the Applicants filed an appeal against the decision of 25 October 1982, together with a statement of grounds. The circumstances of the payment of the appeal fee resulted in an interlocutory decision of 20 September 1983 by the Board, which ordered the appeal fee to be debited. (T17/83, "Debit order II/FORD, OJ 7/1984, 306).
IV. A communication from the Board was answered by the Appellants in due time and an oral hearing took place on 12 October 1984. The Board decided that it would favourably consider a new main claim which was to be limited to the provision of the molten resin by a high shear treatment. On continuation of the proceedings in writing the appellants had submitted a new main claim (received on the 18 October 1984) which was then further amended by letter dated 21 December 1984 (received 24 November 1984) to read as follows:
1. A method for compounding a melt forming resin with mica particles and a heat senitive chlorinated hydrocarbon additive, characterised by melting the resin whilst subjecting the resin to high shear, contacting the molten resin with a blend of the mica and the additive, and mixing the molten resin and the blend by subjecting the resin and the blend to low shear kneading.
V. The appellants submitted the following arguments in support of the appeal:
(a) The low shear mixing or kneading step is an essential and novel feature of the process according to the invention. Low-shear mixing is only recommended for the pre-mixing step for mica and the additive in the cited art, and the Examples in that document suggest machines which utilise a single screw mechanism providing high shear.
(b) As a result of the initially high shear step to melt the resin and the subsequent step of kneading the resin and the blend after admixture, the components are only exposed to elevated temperatures for less than a minute. In the prior art fast processing is not envisaged at all and the tabulated results suggest that substantially longer periods than a minute are needed for optimum results. It appears from Table 2 of the document that flexual strength is at its best after blending of 10 to 15 minutes. The general description in the same document expressly prefers to blending period of 5 to IS minutes within a maximum range of 1 to 30 minutes (page 7, lines 8 to 11).
(c) At the worst, the claimed process according to the present invention provides material with substantially unchanged quality, in spite of the significantly reduced processing time. This is notwithstanding the fact that the example closest to the cited method in the state of the art runs the process at a temperature of 227°C, i.e. 27°C higher than that in FR-A-2 385 768 (Example 1, Composition 4).
(d) There is no suggestion in the prior art to melt the resin under high shear before any contact with the other components and then to change to low shear kneading. The latter is really reserved for the dry tumbling of the components in a powder form. Whilst there was some scope for reducing the processing time by increasing the temperature, this must be balanced against the known risk of deterioration by the additive. No one would have suspected that the separation of the melting step from the admixing step would result in a substantial improvement and should lead to a reduction of total time below the limits recommended for the process according to the state of the art.
VI. The appellants request that the decision be set aside and the patent be granted on the basis of the 16 claims on file.
Reasons for the Decision
1. The appeal complies with Articles 106 to 108 and Rule 64 EPC and is, therefore, admissible.
2. There are no formal objections to the current version of the claims since it is adequately supported by the application as filed. New claim 1 is based on the original claim 1 and on page 3, lines 6 to 12 and page 6, lines 14 to 21. Claim 3 has been amended on the basis of page 5, line 14.
3. The state of the art is represented by FR-A-2 385 768 which describes the preparation of composite materials from a resin, mica particles and a cholorinated additive by admixing the components and keeping the blend at a temperature and for a time sufficient to improve its mechanical properties. The components are either mixed non-intensively (low shear kneading) as a dry powder first (page 5, lines 35 to 40) followed by kneading through extrusion, or the mica particles are first coated with the additive (page 6, lines 14 to 37) before adding the resin (page 6, line 37 to 39). The blend is kept at 190 to 210°C preferably for 65 to 10 minutes. Apparently the machinery recommended for the purpose (Examples 1 and 4) is either an injection moulding machine or an extruder-compound having in both cases a single screw for high shear blending according to the submissions of the appellants (see Statement of Grounds, page 2, para 6).
4. The problem with which the present application was concerned is the need to reduce the processing time at elevated temperatures and thereby to increase the efficiency of the compounding of the material without loss of quality for the product. The claimed solution involves melting the resin separately by subjecting the same to high shear, introducing a blend of mica and a heat sensitive chlorinated hydrocarbon additive therein, and admixing the components by low shear kneading. The time between introducing the resin and removing of strands of the material from the extruder-end of the appropriate apparatus need not be more than 15 seconds according to the examples in the application.
5. The FR-A-2 385 768 suggests a dependency of mechanical properties on processing time (see main claim on page 15). When the relevant compositions of those listed in Table 2 are considered, it is apparent that the optimum of flexual strength lies within the range of 5 to IS minutes processing time. This is confirmed by the general statement suggesting the same preferred range within the total range of 1 to 30 minutes (page 7, lines 8 to 11). Whilst there is some encouragement for reducing processing time somewhat by increasing the temperature (page 7, lines 1 to 6), any enthusiasm is discouraged by a warning that a serious decomposition of its strengthening effect could be expected at elevated temperatures (page 6, lines 23 to 25).
6. The total dwelling time for melting the resin and for compounding at high temperatures is about or less than 1 minute with the claimed process, whilst the unmodified technique according to the cited art requires at least one minute but preferably more than 5 minutes to obtain the best results (page 7, lines 8 to 11). Prior to suggesting this, the disclosure in the prior art states that "advantageously, the additives according to the invention permit the subsequent realisation of stable mechanical properties at the usual temperature of melting during long time periods,for instance 30 minutes or longer". This and the information content of Table 2 in the citation would not encourage the skilled person to increase the temperature of processing nearer to the limit and thereby to reduce the throughput time in the molten state.
7. The selection of a very short admixing time also involved risks of inadequate homogenisation. Moving below the lower limit of the range suggested in the prior art is difficult to justify in circumstances when better mechanical properties may be obtainable with longer mixing periods. The quality of the molten resin at the time of contact with the separately prepared mixture of mica and adhesive may have had its role in avoiding deterioration of quality. This is why the feature of providing the molten resin by a high shear treatment acquires significance. Such condition not only implies very rapid heating but guarantees the uniformity of the material. Neither the choice of such conditions nor the sudden use of low shear processing was recommended or implied by the cited art as something which would enable the processing time to be reduced drastically below the former limits of preference.
8. Since there was reasonable doubt about the wisdom of reducing compounding time on the basis of information available from the most relevant state of the art, neither the degree nor the quality of the result could have been fully appreciated and expected. The subject- matter of claim 1 therefore involves an inventive step and the same applies to all other claims in view of their dependency.
It is decided that:
1. The decision of the Examining Division dated 25 October 1982 is set aside.
2. The case is remitted to the first instance with the order to grant a European patent on the basis of the following documents:
Pages 2,3,3a, 4 to 7, 9,11,12,14 and 15, received on 18 October 1984.
Pages 2a,8,10,13 received on 24 November 1984
Nr. 1 to 8, received on 24 November 1984
Nr. 9 to 16, received on 18 October 1984.

As the human generation is getting older every year and decade, the increment of suffering in the human body can also be seen very clearly. As the body gets heavier with the age, some people start experiencing knee problems. And it is becoming common after the age of 40s, sometimes causing people to go for knee replacement surgery.
On the basis of different analysis, it has been found by the experts that knee pain can increase the survival of elders after a certain age – around 60. There are many reasons behind it, and any of them can result to this situation.
Age Factor & Knee Strength Weaking
Knees are like any other joint in the body, and linked with bones. The weakening of these joints depends on a lot of things, especially if you are not intaking regular calcium and protein for bone strength. However, as the age increases, human bone support starts to fluctuate and problems like knee pain start affecting.
There are other factors that impact the strength of your knee joints:
Osteoarthritis is a common type of arthritis that causes cartilage (protects the bones from breaking down) leave human body vulnerable to knee pain. Experts have found that this problem increases after an age of 55 in most people. As a result, people go for knee replacement surgery once they can’t able to bear the pain.
Gaining weight or mass with your body as you gets older also impacts the knees to feel the load. As the body weight increases gradually, knee joints start getting affected by the extra wear and tear. In that case, this problem can lead the development of osteoarthritis that can result in major joint issues.
3- Muscle changes:
As the human body ages with time, the muscles also start to shrink in size. This results in losing strength that can carry your body throughout the movements. Since back and leg muscles play vital role to support the body, they also get weakened as the age increases.
Staying healthy is the only option!
Knee problems can be avoided to a certain extent. It’s normal to feel this problem after a specific age gap, but you just need to stick with some basics to overcome this issue even after 60. Moreover, knee replacement specialist doctors also know the importance of being fit when it comes to overcome these problems.
1- Control weight:
As mentioned above that increasing body weight also causes knees to feel pressure after an age of 50. In order to keep this in control, you need to stck with the right diet. So that you don’t put on fat that can increase your weight with time, and also eat natural foods.
2- Exercise more:
Keeping yourself fit always the best option if you don’t want to suffer from after 40s and 50s health problems. Doing work out regularly, even for half an hour in the morning or evening help to strengthen your muscles. Henceforth, you can avoid osteoarthritis to happen with your knees.
Among all the factors that affect the strength of knees, aging is one of them. Following a healthy routine throughout your life is a long-term solutions that will keep you fit and away from these joint problems.

According to the America Heart Association, Chinese food is one of America’s most popular ethnic cuisines. When it comes to Chinese dishes, it’s important to watch the amount of sodium. When ordering Chinese food from a restaurant, you have limited choices about what goes into the food and how it is prepared. Instead of a restaurant, try making a Chinese dish at home. One of our family favorites is Sweet and Sour Chicken. It’s easy to make and low in sodium. Did I mention that it’s also delicious?
To make Sweet and Sour Chicken, start by gathering your ingredients:
3-4 boneless chicken breasts, chopped
3/4 cup corn starch
2 eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp. canola oil
1/4 cup sugar
4 Tbsp. ketchup
1 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1 tsp. garlic salt
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. While your oven is heating up, place the cornstarch and chicken in a medium bowl. Stir them together until the chicken is coated in cornstarch.
Next add in the eggs and stir to coat.
When the chicken is ready, spray a 9×13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and place the chicken in the dish. Pour the sauce on top, covering the chicken.
The chicken is now ready to bake! Stick in in the oven for 60 minutes. You’ll want to stir every 15 minutes to keep the chicken well coated in sauce.
While the chicken is cooking, you might as well make up some fried rice to serve on the side. You’ll need:
3 cups cooked brown rice
1 1/2 cups broccoli, chopped
1 cup carrots, chopped
1 cup peas, fresh or frozen
3 green onions, chopped
2 eggs, scrambled
2 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp. canola oil
Start by heating the canola oil in a large skillet. Add in the broccoli and carrots and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
Add in the rice and stir fry 2-3 minutes until the rice is warmed through. Add in the eggs, onions, peas, and soy sauce. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
Keep the rice warming while you wait for the chicken to finish. Serve the chicken and rice with a side of fruit and a glass of milk to make it a MyPlate meal. Enjoy!

THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY
At the beginning of the new century, Washington had a population of 3,300, which was an increase of 63 per cent over that of
the preceding decade. The town now entered its period of greatest prosperity, a happy condition that had come not suddenly but
as the natural result of the hard work done during the years after
Reconstruction. The early twentieth century was a time of expansion in commerce and increase in the number of luxuries.
Substantial evidence of this state of affairs was seen in the new
Fitzpatrick Hotel, opened in March, 1900. Its elaborate baywindowed facade was greatly admired, and because of its running
water and elevator service this hostelry was considered very modern indeed.
The Fitzpatrick "wore quite a New England aspect" in May,
1900, when it entertained members of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology solar eclipse expedition. During the fall of 1899
the path of the moon's shadow had been carefully plotted on a
map with the line of passage running through Washington. Because it was the place of highest altitude and easiest approach on
that line, this town was selected as the site to view the eclipse.
Several days were spent in constructing a pier for an astronomical
transit, a sketching stand, and a building for cameras and telescopes. Five young ladies of Washington aided in sketching the
corona of the eclipse, and twenty high school teachers and students assisted with the many cameras. The total eclipse came at
7:02 A.M. on May 28 and lasted for eighty-five seconds. Arrangements had been made to inform an American astronomer in
Tripoli of the results; so immediately afterward a cablegram was
telephoned from the cotton field where the eclipse had been observed. This message arrived in Tripoli ten minutes later, two
and a half hours ahead of the moon's shadow.
Several efforts were instituted to make the town a manufacturing center but with little effect. One such attempt was made in
1900 when R. A. ALMAND and J. R. DYSON opened a knitting mill,
but the following year this plant yielded its site to the Planters'
Compress Company and moved into a renovated livery stable
where operation was maintained for only a short time. A false
note of expansion was sounded in July, 1901, when a second discovery of gold was made in the northern part of Wilkes County.
After a thousand pounds of soil submitted to the stamping mills
had assayed $1,500, Washington got ready for a boom. It was
soon discovered, however, that the deposits were negligible, and
the people again resumed their leisurely manner of living.
Just before this period of excitement, however, merchants were
prosperous enough to subscribe $1,000 to secure a two-weeks' encampment of the state militia. In July also, companies from
Greensboro, Madison, Elberton, Conyers, Augusta, and Athens,
assembled at EFFIE POPE PARK, called Camp Dyson for the time in
honor of Washington's mayor, J. R. DYSON. A band from the
Fourth Regiment at Bainbridge provided music for the drills.
|80||THE STORY OF WASHINGTON-WILKES|
The entire regiment met GOVERNOR ALLEN D. CANDLER on the 13th,
when he arrived to inspect the soldiers. After a cannon salute
as he rode into the reservation, the governor reviewed the regiment and watched a sham battle. For the ladies, who had given
the soldiers a reception at the home of MRS. JOHN J. HILL in addition to many informal parties, the military men gave a german
opened by the regimental commander at the new Fitzpatrick
There were other new enterprises of a civic or commercial
nature. The new courthouse was completed in 1904 at a cost of
$40,000, and the old structure in the center of the square was demolished and the site made into a grassy plot. A new pumping
station was installed at Beaverdam Creek in the following year.
In 1906 BISHOP WARREN A. CANDLER dedicated the new Methodist
Church, and the Sisters of St. Joseph began construction of a $15,000 auditorium for their school. Although there were many complaints of financial depression throughout the North, cotton
brought twelve cents a pound in Washington in 1907, and bank
deposits increased so rapidly that the Citizen's National Bank was
organized as the fourth bank in Washington. Also in that year
the Armour Fertilizer Company began the construction of a new
Since the completion of the new courthouse, the Confederate
Memorial Association had been planning to erect a monument on
the old site. The women of this organization aroused the interest
of the whole town and enlisted the churches, schools, and clubs
to raise funds. For this purpose the young ladies of St. Joseph's
Academy presented a recital in their school auditorium, and on
Washington's Homecoming Day the men of the town had a baseball game between the Fats and the Leans. When the monument,
a granite shaft surmounted by a Southern soldier, was unveiled on
Confederate Memorial Day in 1908, BURWELL GREEN, commander
of the local camp of Confederate veterans, presided as master of
ceremonies, and GENERAL ANDREW J. WEST, of Atlanta, made the
principal address. After the exercises the memorial society, in accordance with Washington hospitality, entertained the veterans at
dinner in the city council chamber.
The residential section, established during plantation days, was
slow in changing, but in 1908 the business section or Main Street
was paved with creosoted wooden blocks and people began to
buy lots in Washington's second residential subdivision, called
Grandview because it was on the site of the solar eclipse expedition
of 1900. With increasing number of sales in farm lands, the
Wilkes County Good Roads Association was formed. This organization, holding a meeting each month, did much to improve
the condition of the county roads.
During the first years of the century the old question of prohibition again became a dominant issue. Church people were aroused
in 1901, when they learned that a state senator from Wilkes
County had introduced a bill in the legislature to provide for a
liquor dispensary as a solution to the problem of bootlegging in
the dry town. Prohibition officers were charged with making
raids for financial profits rather than for breaking up "moonshining." Although indignant prohibitionists quickly left for
Atlanta to make a fight, the measure was passed. After returning home they continued their struggle by hiring detectives to run
down these illegal dispensers, but the brutal methods of the detectives aroused so much antagonism to their campaign that at the
next local election in November, 1902, the town voted in favor of
opening the legal dispensary. Although this "tank," located on
the public square, was well supervised by prominent citizens, its
purpose failed, for the illegal sale of liquor was not stopped.
Despite a legislative act making Georgia a dry state on January
1, 1908, bootlegging continued, and it was not long before Washington citizens felt the need of forming the Law and Order League
to protest against violation of the state law. In 1910 forty-five
|82||THE STORY OF WASHINGTON-WILKES|
women members of that organization appeared before the mayor
and council, who as a result called a mass meeting and organized
prohibition forces for the elimination of "blind tigers."
State politics had lost some of its old excitement for Washington
people. With no ROBERT TOOMB to fire them, newer generations
were hardly aware of the political power formerly wielded by
ante-bellum planters. The citizens discussed the qualifications of
various Democratic candidates but opposition was generally good-
natured. Something of the spirit of past political campaigns was
shown in 1908 when the incumbent GOVERNOR HOKE SMITH bitterly attacked his opponent JOSEPH M. (LITTLE JOE) BROWN at a
rally in Washington. Feeling died quickly, however, for after
BROWN's election supporters of both candidates met at a friendly
"crow eating" at the home of P. T. CALLAWAY.
Local politics, on the other hand, was frequently accompanied
by bitterness. In 1903 the whole town became angry when it was
learned that the opponents of the incumbent mayor and board
were enlisting for their candidates the votes of Negroes who
usually took no part in political elections. Despite this Negro
vote, J. R. DYSON was again elected mayor and only one councilman lost his position. Negroes again voted the same year on a
bond issue for the new courthouse, but after that the question of
the Negro vote was not raised.
Although relations between Negroes and white people had been
friendly since the turmoil of Reconstruction days, all Washington laughed good-naturedly when a Negro was inadvertently the
cause of a summary dismissal of court in 1909. CY BULLARD, summoned to the witness stand in a misdemeanor case, had hardly
taken his seat when there was a stampede for every exit. In a
trice he was the sole occupant of the room. Upon investigation
the judge learned that CY had smallpox and sent an immune
officer to remove him to jail until he was well. On another occasion the Negro section became much alarmed over the expected
appearance of Halley's Comet, having heard discussions as to the
possibility of its hitting the earth. Thinking the Negroes good
subjects for a practical joke, several young men sent up lighted
paper balloons over their houses and spread the alarm that the
comet was coming. Wailing loudly, some of the terrified Negroes
sought refuge in their churches. Some were there the next morning and refused to emerge until they knew the outcome of the
The prosperity that came to Washington during the first decade
of the twentieth century encouraged citizens to plan further progressive measures. The Washington Chamber of Commerce was
organized in 1910 and $1,200 was subscribed to advertise the town.
When the Federal census of that year showed a decline in the
town's population instead of the expected increase, the organization was dismayed and immediately appointed fifty volunteer
enumerators to make a recount. The census figures were virtually
substantiated, hut disappointment was somewhat alleviated by the
fact that the Wilkes County population had increased from 20,866 in 1900 to 23,441 in 1910. Townspeople were encouraged to
go on with proposed civic and business enterprises.
Commercial and civic organizations began to broaden their
activities in 1912. Early in the year the gray brick jail now used
was completed at a cost of $20,000, and soon afterward the main
streets of the town were paved as the result of a $60,000 bond issue.
Taxable property reached the unprecedented level of $2,000,000
for the city and $4,000,000 for the county. This civic expansion
reached a climax in 1913, when contracts were awarded for new
buildings and improvements valued at $100,000.
Business activity encouraged citizens to undertake the task of
reorganizing their county fair, which had not been held for a
number of years. In 1912 the managers co-operated with those of
an adjoining county and held the first Wilkes-Lincoln Fair. The
exhibition was so successful that a permanent fair organization
was chartered the following year with a capital stock of $25,000.
During the succeeding years attendance was drawn not only from
|84||THE STORY OF WASHINGTON-WILKES|
Wilkes and Lincoln but from the surrounding counties; consequently in 1920 the stockholders of the fair corporation spent $2,000 improving the exposition grounds and announced that the
exhibition would henceforth be named the East Georgia Fair. Although hundreds of farmers entered their best produce and livestock in various competitions and thousands attended from many
small towns, the fair was not a financial success and was abandoned after a few years.
The prosperity brought by successful business enterprises led to
an interest in gayer social entertainments. Washington had always enjoyed its smaller gatherings. The ladies had begun the
new century by inaugurating a study of current literature at the
meetings of the Twentieth Century Club and conducting bazaars
for the chanties of the Nightingale Club. The ladies of the Frank
Willis Literary Club and the members of the Athene Club were
meeting to discuss the classics, while the young people of the
Bowling Club were howling in summer and playing euchre in
winter. But many people were calling for fresh amusements: in
1913 the Washington Country Club was built, and an opening reception was held with GOVERNOR AND MRS. JOHN M. SLATON among
the three hundred guests. Soon people were flocking to the club
to play tennis, to swim in the large concrete pool and—despite the
disapproval of many strict church members—to play cards and
dance. The clubhouse remained popular until it was burned in
Business was still doing well in 1914, when a local newspaper
editorial stated that "the war scare hasn't yet been sufficient to
silence the music of the saw and the hammer." Cotton continued
to bring a good price until that year, when the European markets
were closed to America. Fortunately the Wilkes County Cotton
Growers' Association, co-operating with Lincoln County farmers,
had organized in 1907 a cotton-holding company with capital of
$100,000, its purpose being to finance the cotton growers until their
product would bring a better price. Many farmers availed them-
selves of the privileges of this company, but by the end of October
they felt the pinch of financial stress. In a mass meeting they resolved to reduce cotton acreage for the next season and to use the
minimum amount of fertilizer. These men even asked GOVERNOR
SLATON to call a special session of the legislature to pass a law making cotton reduction necessary and expressed hope that the state
would float a bond issue for the purchase of surplus cotton. Although the legislature did nothing, the farmers reduced their
acreage themselves. Cotton acreage reduction was forgotten by
1916, however, when the price rose to nineteen cents because the
Allies were using many bales for war munitions.
After the United States had entered the World War in 1917
patriotic organizations were rapidly formed, among them the
local Red Cross Chapter and the Wilkes County Food Council.
Two military companies, a national unit and a home guard unit
were organized, and six Wilkes County men attended the first
officers' training camp at Fort McPherson. The seventy-four Confederate survivors organized themselves into a military company
and offered their services to the President. Citizens raised their
$10,000 Red Cross quota at two mass meetings and later contributed $5,059 for the army Y.M.C.A. in a twelve-hour drive.
They were also active in selling Wilkes County's allotment of $50,000 in war saving stamps; before the middle of 1918, Washington
and Wilkes County had exceeded their quotas in five Liberty Loan
campaigns. Washington's soldiers who had served overseas returned on July 4, 1919, and in September the JEROME A. WOOTEN
Post of the American. Legion was formed.
Although the World War had been uppermost in the thoughts
of Washington citizens, the eighty-year-old problem of additional
transportation facilities had again asserted itself. In the middle of
me first decade of the twentieth century members of the Washington Business Association, seeing the need of improvement, had
appeared before officials of the Georgia Railroad in Augusta and
requested a new station, which was built in 1907. Early in Janu-
|86||THE STORY OF WASHINGTON-WILKES|
ary, 1916, work was begun on the much discussed Washington
and Lincolnton Railroad, and in 1919 the Washington and Elberton Railroad, at this time the Elberton and Eastern, began to
construct the final ten miles between Washington and Tignall.
Two strikes on the Georgia Railroad had emphasized the need
of new lines. Citizens suffered greatly from a shortage of food in
1908, when transportation was interrupted because of a strike.
When groceries and stock feeds became almost exhausted, the
desperate citizens called a mass meeting and drew up resolutions
addressed to the governor of the state and the president of the railroad company. Protection was promised to strike-breaking crews
who should put the trains into operation, and after several days
regular schedules were resumed. The townspeople were again
perplexed in the fall of 1912, when the Georgia Railroad conductors and flagmen, protesting against the discharge of one of their
brothers, voted for a walkout and raised a disturbing transportation problem. Bankers, seeking practicable means of financing
cotton growers without shipments of currency, asked the farmers
to co-operate by using checks whenever possible. Others carried
mail, passengers, and supplies to and from Elberton and Athens.
One enterprising citizen, after hearing that the people were "banana and fruit hungry," drove to Augusta where he purchased two
hundred bunches of bananas, four barrels of apples, and quantities
of other fruit. Violence was condemned at a mass meeting, and
the governor was petitioned to end the distressing situation. The
town's mayor, leading a group of a hundred citizens, warded off
attempted interference with an engineer who had volunteered to
operate a train into town. Railroad officials at length enlisted
Federal aid in the protection of the United States mail and the
shipment of interstate freight; service was resumed after ten days.
Throughout the twentieth century destructive fires, prevalent
during the preceding century, were held in check. The only
serious damage to the town was caused by a cyclone on the morning of March 29, 1920. In addition to unroofing houses, uproot-
ing trees, breaking telephone and telegraph wires, and littering
the streets with debris, the twister seriously damaged the municipal
lighting plant, the telephone company, the Baptist Church, the
courthouse, and the public school buildings. There were no
deaths, but losses were estimated at $250,000.
After the cyclone, residents hastily repaired the damaged structures and erected new buildings to replace those demolished. LEO
KRUMBEIN bought the old telephone structure on the southeast
corner of the square and replaced it with his modern daylight
corner store. The J. T. Lindsey Building was constructed about
the same time on the west side of the square.

Becoming a mother is a daunting thought. Now you will be responsible for another little human being. No more me, myself and I. We have all heard the stories of women who have gone from Madam to Mother to Monster in the space of a year. It doesn’t have to be like that. Holding on to who you are and loving who you will become is as easy as following some basic tips.
1. Do It Your Way and Damn The Rest!
Don’t take heed to too much that comes forth from other moms, dads, grandparents, friends and even your own parents. They will scare the pants off of you and we all know you have to hold onto that ever shrinking pants! If the shop assistant starts in on what happened when she gave birth – run a mile! On top of this, your patience levels will be slowly diminishing and you will come across many, many irritating people. More irritating than you thought was even possible.
Just take a deep breath, glean what useful information you can from them and move on. Here are the top five annoying things people say when you're pregnant:
2. Dare To Be Different
From creating bazaar baby endearments to sobbing in movie cinemas. From feeling so tired you could just fall asleep anywhere to gobbling down truck loads of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. From acting out every nursery rhyme under the sun to licking the pumpkin flavored baby food off the spoon, that you vowed you would never do. You are just different when you become a mother. Just enjoy it - it’s all part of the journey. But know you are not alone with your crazy antics and frowned-upon child rearing habits.
Some celebrities rank right up there on the weird scale. You just have to look at all those crazy celebrity baby names out there, to just seal that fact down. Apple? Brooklyn? North? On a more statistical note, Atlantic.com reports on what happens to a woman’s brain when they become a mother, hormones playing a vital role in the changes in brain patterns. Those same hormones are what brings a mother closer to their baby and undoubtedly explode all those over-neurotic feelings we experience as mothers. However, besides the scientific biochemical reasons that explain why we behave the way we do as mothers, we can be assured we will never be the same again. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing either.
3. The Captains Log
Even if you’re not an analytical sort of person and generally veer away from anything "graphish", get over it! Charting your progress from the time you find out you’re pregnant, for every month and trimester, to after baby is born, is therapeutic at best. Nowadays it’s a simple as downloading an app. Yes, there is an app for this!
Here is an in depth look at one of our favorites, the Babybump Pregnancy Pro:
4. Ship Shape
Whether a fitness fanatic before baby or a self-confessed couch potato, you will find that keeping active is very beneficial for you and of course baby.
Now, no one expects you to go run five miles each day, like that crazy woman next door, whose preggie tummy is bigger than Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage. No, just a gentle, but brisk walk around the block will do the trick. And it may not be a bad idea to even practice pushing that new stroller. Just load the neighbor’s dog in or a few bricks and there you go. For other exercise ideas its simple. Nowadays you are spoilt for choice with pregnant specific gym classes, from Pilates to Yoga to Aqua aerobics.
On a more sobering note, you just have to take a look at the stats on obesity during pregnancy to know that keeping your weight stable during this delicate period is vital. The National Center for Biotechnology Information reports that the possibility of PROM (Premature Rupture Of Membrane) was greatly increased in obese pregnant woman. The premature rupturing of the sac that contains amniotic fluid, which surrounds and protects the fetus can result in death or premature birth. Just one good reason to ensure you maintain a healthy weight gain during pregnancy. WebMD advises that if you ensure you start off with a reasonable weight pre-pregnancy and maintain a 25-30 lbs. increase during pregnancy, you stand a better chance of shedding that post-baby weight in a quicker amount of time.
5. Eating for Two - Not!
Just because you have another person inside you, doesn’t mean you need to start doubling up on your meals. Keeping your meals to decent, healthy portions and including little snacks throughout the day, will help you maintain good blood sugar levels as well as sustain your energy for longer. While it’s tempting to overeat and blame it on the “eating for two” excuse, eating till you’re over full will make you feel terribly bloated and you will retain unnecessary water. Not a good look!
Scientists have shown that women don’t need to eat for two, because the body is built to adapt to absorb more energy from the given food. Eating too much leads to too much weight gain and as we mentioned in Number 4, it will make your weight loss process that's more difficult after baby is born. So, keep calm and step away from the cake! But, don't take it from us, researchers have covered this too:
6. Organized Chaos
Lists are godsends! Lists! You groan. Yes – Lists! When the “mommy fudge brain” kicks in, you will be thankful for that list you made. From detailing what you will need at the hospital to what kind of baby gear you still need to buy, lists are vital to any expecting or seasoned mother.
Mayoclinic reports that there is no real supported statistics that the “mommy” or “baby” brain exists, however whether a real syndrome or an unchartered hypothesis, we all know that you definitely don’t remember things as you used to pre and post baby birth.
Here are a few lists to consider putting together:
- The “Skinny” baby bag List (for a day out)
- The “Full Monty” baby bag List (for 2 days or more away)
- Baby “Changing Table” List (for everything you need to clean, change and beautify your little one)
- The Stork-party gift List (lets be honest, there are some items we just don’t want)
- Baby Newborn to 3 Months Clothes List (season dependent)
- Baby 3 months to 12 Months Clothes List (season dependent)
- Baby Medicine Cupboard List (for those I-don’t-know-what’s-wrong moments)
- Hospital List (You will be in for 2, maybe 3 days so its vital you have all you may need for yourself and baby. Relying on dad, bless his heart, may just cause you further heart failure)
- The “Skinny” Makeup Bag List (If you look good, you are bound to feel good)
If you don’t know how are where to get started, try some of these cool downloadable list applications on your Smartphone or computer:
- Toodledo.com - experts on list keeping options
- Anylist Application available for Apple iPhone users
- Evernote Application available on all Smartphone devices and other platforms
Here Evernote explains how it can be super useful for moms:
Or, if you’re old school, simply pull out a pen and paper and getting listing. Either way, get going with those lists, before the “mommy” brain settles in and you forget what you had to list!
7. Music, Maestro!
Music is and always will be, no matter who you are, a lifesaving form of therapy. Whether you need a damn good cry (and believe me you will have no lack of tears over this period of your life), have to get that little colicky cherub to sleep, need some vibey tunes to get your ass out and about or just want to disappear into a black hole of solitude on a symphony of violins, music will take you there. Get that iPod or Smartphone out and start downloading all sorts of music that you can flick on at a touch when the mood calls. And who knows, maybe your baby might pick some some dance moves along the way.
Suggestions based on your particular crisis:
- Cry Baby Bunting Mood – The Road goes on by Toto
- Sleeping Beauty Mood – Missing by Everything But The Girl
- Lullaby Land Mood – Any Classical piece especially from the Baroque period
- Leave Me Alone Mood – Don’t give up by Peter Gabriel
- Moving and Grooving Mood – Little Bird by Annie Lennox
- These songs are not meant to enhance your somber mood, but lift you up and make you feel better.
Besides catering to mom’s moods, a study done by the Institute of Behavioral Sciences at the University of Helsinki found that newborns already have experiences and memories of the surrounding world from when they were in the womb. So if your tiny tike comes out singing your fave song, don’t be surprised. Only joking, of course, but it would be funny.
But really, you are spoilt for choice as there are many specific Pregnancy and Birth tunes you can purchase as downloads or CD’s.
8. The Help
Sometimes help can come in the form of an ordinary, next-door neighbor or your ever patient mom. It may be you need just a good old shoulder to blubber on or you may need some real professional advise. Either way, don’t be too proud or pound-foolish to seek that help you need.
From pre-natal care as so nicely laid out from WomensHealth.gov, you can be assured that it has never been easier to find the exact help you require pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy and most definitely post-pregnancy.
9. Date Night
Whether you invested time in a Date Night before baby or not, now is the time to start. Most dads get left out of the picture once that little ball of neediness arrives. And while we know that you don’t mean to envelope yourself in their world, till you can't remember who you are, we cannot stress the importance of taking a break and coming back to your partner every now and then. Set a date, at least every 2 months, if not more often, where you just go out, babyless, for a few hours, and get back to just the two of you.
NHS.UK has a simple article on keeping the bond between you and your partner strong after baby rocks up. Just taking the time to listen to one another, talk about your day, your child and more importantly anything un-baby related, will do your relationship a world of good.
However, if getting out of the house is all a bit to much and you still crave a date night experience, why not try some tips that our friends at 'Just For Mom' recommend for a stay-at-home date night:
10. Hurry Up & Wait
The one very important lesson that babies teach us is to slow down. There is no rushing a baby and if you try to, you will end up prolonging whatever you were trying to get them to do in a rush. We live a life full of go-go-go. The first to the finish line gets the prize. But with babies and in fact children in general, its all about taking time to smell the roses. There is no rushing a feeding baby. There is no rushing a dawdling toddler and there is definitely no rushing an infant off to sleep. A busy mom who always started or ended or sentences with 'Hurry Up'. That is until one day her older daughter used the same words and tone to her youngest and she realized the time monster she had become.
The old adage that life is too short is very true, but it doesn’t mean you must rush through it either. So, kick back, relax and let the natural flow of a baby’s world take over for a moment.

Additions to the company’s Fuse product suite allow customers to automatically enrich title metadata and conduct AI-driven visual analysis
York, United Kingdom – 27 March 2019 – Piksel, a leading provider of software solutions to the broadcast and media industry, today announced plans to unveil two new machine learning (ML) powered additions to its Fuse suite of products at NAB Show 2019.
“Over the past decade, the complexity of the media supply chain has grown exponentially,” says Kris Brown, co-managing director of Piksel. “Our Fuse suite of products is designed to help customers cut through that complexity and bring clarity and visibility to their workflows. The updates we’re showcasing at NAB will help them do that more easily and efficiently than ever.”
Those updates – both of which can be seen at the show between 8th and 11th April – take the form of new functionality within Piksel’s existing Fuse Metadata Management product and the launch of Fuse IQ, an entirely new addition to the company’s portfolio.
Automated enrichment: this addition to Fuse Metadata Manager enables near-instantaneous enrichment of title metadata from third-party data sources. Using the company’s ML-driven ‘Content Knowledge Base’, Fuse Metadata Manager matches incoming metadata files with corresponding records from external metadata providers and automatically replaces missing, incorrect or inconsistent title data with a verified, high-quality alternative.
The enrichment function also allows customers to automatically integrate outputs from AI and ML-based sources, enhancing their content library with supplementary data provided by services such as facial, logo or image recognition.
Video content analysis: building on the concept of automatic enrichment is Fuse IQ, Piksel’s own video content analysis product. Fuse IQ uses AI techniques to tackle some of the broadcast and media industry’s most repetitive and time-intensive problems. One such application – currently in advanced testing with a major content distributor – automates the extraction of timecoded metadata from assets for greatly improved content localization workflows.
“With the development of both enrichment and Fuse IQ, we focused on problems our customers face today that will only become harder to solve tomorrow,” concludes Brown. “In both cases, we’re using the power of machine learning to remove a huge manual burden without taking away any of the control. We’re looking forward to showing more in Las Vegas, as well as future updates further down the line.”
The Piksel team can be found on the AWS booth (SU2202) at NAB Show 2019 from 8th to 11th April.
Piksel has been building successful online video businesses for over a decade. The company’s unique combination of professional and managed services is underpinned by Piksel’s state-of-the-art video platform, the Piksel Palette. Launched in the second half of 2015, the Piksel Palette™ is the only commercially available video distribution and monetization platform using a Micro-Services Architecture (MSA).
Piksel’s unrivaled expertise is in designing, building and managing online video solutions for the likes of AT&T, Sky, Channel 4, Discovery, Liberty Global, Mediaset and RTL. Headquartered in York, UK, Piksel offices can be found throughout Europe and the Americas.

Most married couples file tax returns using the married filing joint filing status. Generally, this is the correct “tax planning” move because married filing joint tax rates are lower than married filing separate rates, the standard deduction is higher, and an additional exemption can be used. Thus, there is a marriage tax bonus (as opposed to a marriage tax penalty).
However, the downside, and it’s a very big downside, to the married filing joint return status is that each spouse is jointly and severally liable for any tax related to that return. That’s true even if only one spouse had income.
Therefore, before filing a joint return, taxpayers should carefully consider if that is the proper filing status for them. If only one spouse has income, and the tax cannot be paid, the proper legal strategy might be to have that taxpayer file under a married filing separate status. Yes, the tax liability will most likely be higher than it would be using a joint status, but only one of the spouses will be liable for the tax (at least in a non-community property state).
I have had numerous cases, where both spouses are liable for hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax, which will never be paid due to financial circumstances (medical crisis, divorce or what have you), where only one spouse would be liable if the proper filing status had been used.
Unpaid joint tax liabilities put joint assets such as houses, bank accounts, and cars at risk. Furthermore, if one spouse dies, the IRS is still free to collect from the surviving spouse. Had a married filing separate status been used, and the liable spouse dies, the tax debt will die with him or her. Also, if spouses file married filing separate and it is a mistake, those returns can be amended to a joint status. The reverse is not possible; file a joint return and you are stuck with it.
Fortunately, there is relief available. Under certain circumstances, one spouse on a joint return can file for “innocent spouse” status. If the IRS concurs with the requesting spouse’s (RS) claim, that spouse will be relieved of the liability and only the non-requesting spouse (NRS) will remain liable.
Generally, there are three types of relief commonly referred to as “innocent spouse” relief. Each has its own legal requirements. Also, it matters whether the tax liability is an “understatement of tax” or an “underpayment” of tax.
An understatement of tax is also commonly referred to in the tax world as a tax deficiency. Usually, the so-called understatement occurs when the IRS audits a tax return and determines that there was unreported tax.
An underpayment of tax is exactly that. The taxpayers file a joint tax return, which reported tax due, but that tax was not paid.
If the taxpayers are faced with an understatement case, then “innocent spouse” relief is available under all thee types of relief. If the taxpayers face an underpayment case, then only the “equitable relief” type is available.
This type of relief is available in cases where the taxpayers are still married and living together. To qualify for this type of relief, the requesting spouse must show:
This type of relief is an election, which is made by the electing spouse to allocate the tax deficiency between the two spouses. Each spouse will be apportioned the amount of tax that was attributable to that person. For example, if 90% of the understatement of tax was generated from the business income of one spouse and 10% was generated from interest income of the other spouse, then the tax is allocated between the spouses 90% and 10%. Generally, picture the tax liability as it would have been had the two spouses filed correct married filing separate returns.
Only taxpayers that are no longer married, legally separated, or not living together may request this type of relief. To qualify for this type of relief, the electing spouse must show:
This type of relief is a catch – all that the law provides for spouses that cannot meet the requirements of the first two types of relief. Also, it is the only type of relief available for underpayment cases. To qualify for this type of relief the requesting spouse must show:
In most cases, Innocent Spouse & Equitable Relief are difficult to get. The IRS does not like granting relief to couples that are still married and living together, and the have reason to know criteria is difficult to beat.
The IRS applies a series of factors to determine if the requesting spouse had reason to know, including, (in IRS speak)
Under Equitable Relief some of the factors the IRS applies to decide whether it is inequitable to hold the requesting spouse liable include:
Getting relief under any one of these three provisions can be tricky (although separation of liability is the easiest). These provisions overlap in some areas and I have found that, in some cases, IRS personnel are not well trained in applying these provisions (I have had three cases within the last month (5-2012) where the IRS employees (two in Exam and one in Appeals) had no idea what they were doing or talking about.
Fortunately, judicial review in the Tax Court is available if the taxpayer’s claim is rejected.

Religious practices across the South Caucasus | the Data Initiative
Data snapshot: how do religious practices compare across the Caucasus? In our Data Initiative, we included questions on religion, and we tried to unpack the concept further: rather than only asking about the importance of religion, we linked it to practice. Thus, we asked how often people attend religious services, how often they pray, and how often they fast -- since these are comparable components across Muslim and two separate orthodox religions.
Georgia has most people saying that religion plays a very important role in making decisions. 50% say it is very important, and another 26% say it is important. So, nearly three quarters of the respondents accord religion a central role in their life. In two other countries religion plays very important and important role in making decisions for around 50% of the respondents.
Georgia also has the highest number of respondents who attend religious services apart from special occasions. Thus, 6% of respondents attend religious services more than once a week and another 12% once a week. In contrast, only around 3% of the respondents in Armenia and Azerbaijan attend religious services more than once a week and another 7% and 3% once a week respectively. Praying apart from religious services is more popular among the respondents in Armenia and Georgia. Hence, 29% of the respondents in Armenia and 28% in Georgia say that they pray every day, in comparison to 14% of those in Azerbaijan. In addition, more respondents say that they pray less often (31%) and never (25%) in Azerbaijan.
Though fasting is a part of religious traditions in all the three countries, it seems to be less practiced across the South Caucasus. Among the three countries fasting is more followed in Azerbaijan, where 14% of the respondents always fast and 9% often fast. Overall, around 50% of the respondents in Azerbaijan either fast always, often or sometimes. As a comparison, only 2% of those in Armenia and 6% in Georgia always fast. The number of those who never fast is the highest in Armenia -79%. To explore this topic more check out CRRC Data Initiative.

Citizenship is a difficult concept to define as its definition changes over time, depending on social, legal, and political contexts. Importantly, it not only encompasses structural (legal and institutional) aspects, but also the everyday practices through which people relate to the state and other citizens. This blog post examines some of the perceptions as to what makes a good citizen across the South Caucasus and the extent to which people’s actions match up with their stated opinions on good citizenship.

When is a war not a war? While it may seem commonsensical that a country cannot simultaneously be at war and at peace, the prevalence of several ‘frozen conflicts’ in the post-Soviet space defies simple categorization. If we take the conflict between Georgia and Abkhazia or South Ossetia as an example, a quick internet search shows that there was a five-day war in 2008 that ended on the 12th of August with a preliminary ceasefire agreement.

Increased mobility has resulted in freer movement for migration and travel, and advances in technology have made constant communication easy across the globe. No doubt, these developments have made friendships between different nationalities more common, and even taken for granted in many places. Yet traditional values persist, and by examining attitudes towards this phenomenon, we can gain an understanding of a country’s social dynamics as well as predicting potential conflicts.

While attitudes toward interethnic friendship can give an idea of how people feel about others in their personal lives, the Caucasus Barometer survey probes further into core beliefs by asking about attitudes toward interethnic marriage. In analyzing their replies, we gain an insight into how different ethnicities come into play in the context of marriage and the formation of a family.

Brookings Index of Regime Weakness | State Rebuilding or State Collapse in the Caucasus | The Annals of Data
Yet another index was released recently -- Brookings Index of State Weakness in the Developing World. One professor of mine in graduate school, who was a veteran hot spot worker, related that all of the conflict professionals keep their eye on this map to see where they are going next. In this year's version of the index, however, it's where they already are: Somalia, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Iraq top the list.

With today's elections in Georgia, various themes come to mind. Certainly, elections have come a long way: by now, the Georgian government employs a series of highly qualified consultants, including Greenberg Quinlan Rosner of Clinton-fame, plus a Brussels-based PR firm, as well as working with experienced teams from the Baltics. This, then, is no longer the game of the 1990s, or 2003. Election observers know that they in turn will be observed, and maybe that's how it should be.

Visa liberalization: How much do people in Georgia know about the conditions of visa-free travel to the EU?
CRRC’s previous blog posts have shown that the population of Georgia had rather moderate expectations of the recent visa liberalization with the Schengen zone countries, especially when it comes to the question of how much ordinary people will benefit from it. Europe Foundation’s latest survey on Knowledge of and Attitudes towards the European Union in Georgia, conducted in May 2017, provides a more nuanced understanding on how people in Georgia feel about this process and to what extent they are familiar with the conditions of visa liberalization.

I'm "Wallpapering" my online presence today with Relay! It dawned on me that I am but a mere 3 months till Relay and I hadn't started my fundraising process at all!
So I'll just start it now - Please consider a donation to Relay for Life!
It's no secret who I relay for - Momma. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't wish she was here. There's such a hole in my life where she fits so snuggly which now sits only with a warm memory of her.
When she was diagnosed in 2009 I had these shirts made for our family! We still wear them proudly!
It was so cool to see nearly 60 shirts out on the track last year at Watertown's Relay for Life!
Relay has been a big part of our fight for Mom. It was my way of supporting her from miles away, and it has grown into 3 separate teams with people walking in her honor in 3 separate cities!
Donate to one, donate to all, we'd be happy with anything! We are supportive of the American Cancer Society for so many reasons. Not only does the ACS provide funding for cancer research but they provide several services for Cancer patients and their families! Mom was blessed to be able to participate in the "Look good feel better" program where they provide Cancer patients with makeup and skin care products to help them learn how to feel beautiful even during chemo treatments! The ACS provides rides to treatment, mentor programs and a 1-800 number for either patients or families to call 24 hours a day if they just need to talk, or if they have questions about their treatment or how the ACS can help them!
Anyone who has been a caregiver or a cancer patient can tell you dealing with Cancer is incredibly difficult, and these services are designed to help lift some of the burdens you are handed.
Okay, I'll jump off my soapbox now.
Maybe not quite yet - I'm on a roll...
Help me fight cancer...
Help other families be able to have a few more years with their loved ones because of the treatments that the American Cancer Society is funding every day!
Help me provide some quality life, to quality people.
When Mom was diagnosed she had stage 3B lung cancer. She developed stage 4 after a year and a half of fighting. 3B lung cancer patients live an average of 6 months to a year. We were so blessed to get two whole years with her!
Two whole years - with days and days of perfect memories and many times to say I love you!
A few more hugs, a few more kisses meant the world.
I fight for my Mom because I would give anything for her to be back here for me to call every day.
So I Relay to help give some other girl in this world just a few more days with her Mom.
I relay in her Memory, because I will never EVER give up the fight!
And thank you for all your love and support through out the past two years. It has been the craziest journey of my life, I have grown and become a different person because of it. But I like to think it's a person my Mom would be proud of.
Let's make a difference!

At approximately 11:19 a.m., the power to several buildings on campus went out. This was an unplanned occurrence and Rocky Mountain Power worked quickly to resolve the issue.
There was a planned outage in two of the housing buildings. Buildings 821 and 822 were transferred from an old utility infrastructure to a new system.
“This was not connected or correlated with the main power outage that happened on campus,” says Barb Remsburg, Housing & Residential Education Director.
At roughly 12:19, power was restored with full network services restored at approximately 1:30.
There was a technical problem in the substation near Fort Douglas. This substation supplies power to the University of Utah substation located behind Rice Eccles Stadium.
“This was not a planned outage,” says Dave Eskelsen, Rocky Mountain Power spokesman. “This was classified as a ‘loss of transmission’ and affected many neighborhoods surrounding the University. Approximately 3,500 residential customers were without power, not including those at the University of Utah.”
The Hunstman Cancer Hospital was on generator power for approximately two hours during the outage. Patient care was unaffected and the hospital has since resumed on power from the grid.
If your building or area is still without power, please report it to Rocky Mountain Power at 801-581-7221.

Pololu Qik 2s9v1 Dual Serial Motor ControllerPololu
Auf LagerGarantiertes Versanddatum: 26.06.18, wenn Sie in den nächsten bestellen
The qik 2s9v1 is Pololu’s second-generation dual serial motor controller. The compact module allows any microcontroller or computer with a serial port (external RS-232 level converter required) or USB-to-serial adapter to easily drive two small, brushed DC motors with full direction and speed control. It provides ultrasonic, 8-bit PWM speed control via an advanced, two-way serial protocol that features automatic baud rate detection up to 38.4 kbps and optional CRC error checking. Two status LEDs give visual feedback about the serial connection and any encountered error conditions, making debugging easy, and a demo mode allows easy verification of proper operation.
The improvements over the previous generation and competing products include:
- high-frequency (ultrasonic) PWM to eliminate switching-induced motor shaft hum or whine
- a robust, high-speed communication protocol with user-configurable error condition response
- visible LEDs and a demo mode to help troubleshoot problematic installations
- reverse power protection on the motor supply (not on the logic supply)
For a more advanced, higher-power version of this controller, please consider the qik 2s12v10. For a simpler carrier of the qik’s motor driver, please consider the TB6612FNG dual motor driver carrier, and for a robot controller based on the qik’s driver, please consider the Baby Orangutan and Orangutan SV-328 robot controllers and 3pi robot, which connect the TB6612 to a user-programmable AVR microcontroller.

- Simple bidirectional control of two DC brush motors.
- 4.5 V to 13.5 V motor supply range.
- 1 A maximum continuous current per motor (3 A peak).
- 2.7 V to 5.5 V logic supply range.
- Logic-level, non-inverted, two-way serial control for easy connection to microcontrollers or robot controllers.
- Optional automatic baud rate detection.
- Two on-board indicator LEDs (status/heartbeat and serial error indicator) for debugging and feedback.
- Serial error output to make it easier for the main controller to recover from a serial error condition.
- Jumper-enabled demo mode allows initial testing without any programming.
- Optional CRC error detection eliminates serial errors caused by noise or software faults.
- Optional motor shutdown on serial error or timeout for additional safety.
- Supports daisy-chaining the qik to other qiks and Pololu serial motor and servo controllers, allowing the control of up to hundreds of motors and servos with a single serial line.

Check out this bro in his bright summer colors. And he glows in the dark like a kid from Chernobyl? Sold. I love the toys Splurrt makes, and while I wouldn't normally be into these bright colors, they really do work for this figure. D-Lux did the custom paint on these and you can pick one up from jis webstore tomorrow (June 1) at 3pm Eastern time. You better bookmark http://dlux.bigcartel.com/ if you hope to score one. These guys will sell quickly and if you don't get one you will be thrown into a deep depression made all the darker because you don't have this toy to glow like a beacon of hope. This is how you die.

Does a title ever get more descriptive? There is no ambiguity about what you're going to get here. You're going to get some freaky looking dudes that some how found their way into the final frontier. It's a drastic difference from when you buy one of those tv dinners and it looks so delicious on the box, yet when you heat it up in looks like a possum got sick on a plate. Disappointment and diarrhea every time.
These space travelers are the work of Rampage Toys and Blurble, while their alien craft was made by Tru:Tek. Ten of each design were made in random colors and they will be $24 each. You can pick one up when they go on sale today (May 31) at 9pm London time at http://manetoys.bigcartel.com/.
I would gladly trade all of the casinos near my house for a ton of folks that were into toys and a place like Toy Art Gallery to put them on display. You can have all the elderly women in their sequined sweaters that guard rows of slot machines like a pit bull in a junk yard while they chain smoke and gamble away inheritances. You can have the barrage of prostitutes and drug dealers that peddle their wares with a tenacity of a used car salesman. You can't have the Ripleys Believe It or Not Museum though, that place is worth keeping. But you can take the bootleg t-shirt shops and the guys whose hair gel weighs more than all of the books in their house. Let me know when you're ready to deal.
I am envious of anyone who is lucky enough to live near Toy Art Gallery, and I remind you of that every time I write about them. Tomorrow they will be opening their new show, Rock 'n" Roll Uamou with special guests RealxHead and Skull Toys. I love those Nirvana inspired toys pictured below featuring a body clad in the best thrift store fashion and a face with that iconic smiley face logo. I really started to get into music in the '90's, so the grunge era will always hold a special place in my heart. They always post the remaining pieces from their shows in the days following the opening, so maybe I'll get a chance to snag one. Keep the dream of the '90's alive!

This is the guy that will show up when you try and park your 1970's van at an abandoned camp ground to get fresh with your girlfriend. I'm just trying to save lives here people, because no one ever learns anything from all of the horror movies out there. At best anyone wearing a bag over their head might just have one of those weird tumors with a tooth growing out of it and a lack of health insurance to get it dealt with. Add in the machete and sawed off shotgun, and you know they aren't from AAA looking to help you fix a flat tire.
It's not ever day that I'm really impressed by a toy, but this one has managed to leave me in awe. I love everything about it, but especially his melty face and droopy eye. It's grotesque while still retaining a sense of innocence about it, like you could almost feel sorry for the guy and the obvious problems he's had with women. I mean, he is running out of space in his freezer for them, which is a huge problem because he can't just go to Sears and buy another one and I've never heard of a killer with good credit, so even ordering one from the internet is out of the question.
You can purchase on of these dudes that Brandt Peters and Ferg made this Monday, June 3rd, at noon Central time for $105 (and that includes shipping anywhere in the world). Only 225 were made and you can get one at http://store.projectsquadt.com/.

I'm about to admit something that will probably make a lot of you mad and may even get me deported. I don't like The Walking Dead. There, I've said it to all 6 of you. The benefit of admitting such a thing on the internet is that I can go about the rest of my day without having to be looked at as if I just admitted to kicking a puppy. I also don't have to answer questions like "but what's wrong with you?" or "do you have a vitamin deficiency?" Here are my problems with the show. For one, I could care less about zombies. You want to know when the zombie apocalypse is coming? If you've ever seen anyone who thinks they have "swag" or have ever used the term "yolo" while clearly not being ironic, then you would know it's already here. And the second reason I don't like it is because everybody is essentially the exact same person. What makes a scenario like this interesting is the diversity of the characters. The people of their group come from all walks of life, but over time they have all morphed into people who are just trying to survive and have lost a lot of what makes them unique. It was far more interesting when they would have moral issues with killing the zombies, or when they would still question what was going on in the first place. Now its just accepted as normality.
The lone bright spot of The Walking Dead for me are the product tie ins. They're are some clever ones out there, but I think the Pop! Vinyl toys from Funko are the best. Why? Because you could make anything as a Pop! Vinyl figure and it automatically becomes cool. They could make a Charles Manson one and it would be adorable. Even if it's something I'm not into, I come close to buying one of these whenever I see them. These will be released July 11th. And I still love you even if you like The Walking Dead. But just as friends though. Stop trying to kiss me.

The Loyal Subjects helped remove some of the tarnish by releasing a cool blind boxed series of vinyl figures that people went nuts over, and now you can see those reinterpreted by some of the best toy customizers out there. Tenacious Toys teamed up with Suburban Vinyl to put together this custom show that will be happening this Friday, May 31st. All the details you need are in the pictures, so you have no excuse not to go. Unless you live, like, really far away or have surgery scheduled for that time. Then its ok.
As you all know, blind boxes drive me insane and for the most part I have sworn against buying them. Except for Dunnys. I don't know exactly what it is, but I never get tired of these little dudes from Kidrobot. And I get especially excited when they do their yearly series and the wife and I get to spend a few hours at a trading party, sitting on the floor and opening up toys with other people just as addicted to these things as we are. If you've never been to one they're kinda like if AA meetings served beer. These suckers will be coming out June 14th and all of your favorite stores will be having get togethers to celebrate. I'll be spending my 401k at Jinxed in Philadelphia.

Ed "Big Daddy" Roth designed and built some of the craziest cars that have ever existed, but even if you've never seen one of his customs, you probably recognize Rat Fink. He's been featured on every product type imaginable, tattooed on countless bodies, and reinterpreted by artists for decades. Now you can class up your garage with these latest releases from Blackbook Toy.
First up is the new 10 inch resin big head statue. This thing must weigh a ton and would be the first thing I grabbed if someone broke into my house. One whack to the head and they won't remember their entire childhood. You could also just look at it too I suppose.
They also have these new blind boxed mini figures. While they won't do you much good in the realm of home defense, they are pretty cool. And if you buy a box of 12 you're guaranteed to get the whole set. Should all blind boxed toys be like this? Yeah, yeah they should. I'd consider buying them again if they were, but as of right now I get too stressed out when I get 30 of the same figure and want to punch babies.
These guys kinda remind me of those scrubbing bubbles that are supposed to raise hell on the grime in your bathroom. When I was little I thought that those guys were legit and really did all the work for you, so I never understood why my mom griped about cleaning. Imagine my disappointment when I found out this was not in fact the case and those bubbles are just as lazy as anything else that comes from a spray bottle.
Dead Hand Toys made these Greeds by mixing three different shades of blue resin together, so each one is unique. They will be blind bagged as part of Tenacious Toy's Super Series Sunday sale for $20 each. These will be available this Sunday (May 26th) at www.tenacioustoys.com.

It's a good thing Deadpool has a sense of humor, cause he's not winning anyone over with that face. This scarred Pop! Vinyl figure from Funko will come in grey and red suited versions and will be available next month. Of course you could preorder them now, forget about it, then be traumatized when the box gets to your house and this carved up face is staring back at you. It's like added value or something.
This is the cutest ice cream headed, cyclops girl I've ever seen. And I've seen a few in my day. I grew up in Virginia after all and there's some crazy stuff going on in the woods down South. Stuff that would blow your mind and shake the very foundations of everything you knew to be true.
Sue is the creation of Buff Monster and Healeymade, and they are changing her sculpt after this release. So you better get on this before she goes under the knife, cause you never know how surgery will turn out. These go on sale tomorrow (May 24th) at http://www.buffmonster.com/.

My wife is a fan of Tiffany's and unless I hit the lottery this may be about as close to their iconic shade of blue she's gonna get for a while.
Gary Ham will be releasing his latest Wooper Looper this Friday (May 24th) at 11am Pacific time. He is limited to 30 pieces and will be $60 each at http://www.superham.bigcartel.com/. This is what a real life Wooper Looper looks like:
Eeeeek! It's the cutest little salamander thingy you've ever seen!
Who is the most entertaining person on the internet? The answer is George Takei (Grumpy Cat is a close second, though not necessarily a "person"). The man posts funny stuff all day long and manages to mix in doses of social awareness without it coming off as contrived. How does he do it? Cause he's the King of Cyberspace. Four million people on Facebook can't be wrong.
Now you can finally store your favorite moments from George Takei in a device of his likeness!!! Mimobot has created this flash drive based on George's character Sulu from Star Trek. It even talks to you when you put it in your computer. Oh my indeed! They only made 1,000 of them, so act fast or be sad that all your friends got one and you didn't.
Every night when I come home from work there's this ice cream truck driving through my neighborhood playing that god awful carney music. It wouldn't be so bad if it were a legit looking truck and not a conversion van with a air conditioner installed in one of the doors and the menu spray painted on the side. I bet it's a mystery to him why he never has to stop even once while slowly creeping down the road. It would be safer to answer a Craigslist ad giving away free meat than to buy ice cream from this dude.
And so it goes that I haven't had one of those rocket pops in years. Those things are the best and i've suffered this injustice for too long. So while I try and find a less serial-killy ice cream man in a nicer neighborhood, you can gaze upon these Curiosity resin figures from Nathan Hamill. Sculpted by Julie B. and produced by Oni Creations, these 5 inch tall figures will be available this Friday at Comicpalooza in Houston, Texas for $80. Just don't try and lick them. I can't imagine resin tastes that great.

Arts Unknown went quiet for a little while after the original release of these figures, but now they have returned with a new website and new color ways of their original trio. I like the black and white treatment of William, Reginald, and Henry from Frank Kozik. They look ready to jump into a classic detective scenario under a sweltering Moroccan sun. It would probably involve a precious artifact and a beautiful girl who teeters between being good and being oh so bad. Or they're just hipsters, hard to say. Only 150 of these exist.
They've also updated Gary Baseman's drug-loving Slugilicious. Limited to 100 pieces, this guy can't wait to get into grandma's arthritis medicine and trip the light fantastic.
This lady has a mystery under her dress, and not the kind you find at 3am on Pacific Avenue. This tentacled beauty from Doktor A is an edition of 250 and will no doubt devour your soul in some manner from the pages of Lovecraft.
Snag one, or snag them all by going to http://www.artsunknown.com/ or any of your other favorite places to buy toys.
I live pretty darn close to Atlantic City but I never go to the casinos. You know why? Cause I like to get stuff for my money. I'm not big on the idea that I may empty my wallet without something to show for it. So while these Lucky Bags from Super7 may be a gamble, you'll at least have a pile of figures for your cats to knock over.
For $300 you get a total of 9 toys, including brand new sculpts, custom painted versions, test colors, and more. They go on sale this Saturday, May 25th at 7pm at their San Francisco store and May 26th online. Take a chance at http://www.super7store.com/.
Let's face it, most art classes suck. Painting pottery? Lame. Making friendship bracelets? Who gives a crap. Where are the art classes for righteous dudes, where you can learn things that are cool and you wouldn't be embarrassed to take the results home and show your mom? Monster Kolor doesn't want you to to suffer through boring art classes any more and instead wants to teach you how to paint monsters. They've teamed up with Max Toy Co. to offer a "Paint Your Own Tripus" class. Finally, no more ceramic ash trays!
The class will take place on June 22nd, but there are only 8 spots available, so you better get on it sucka. For $99 you get your own Tripus and they supply the paint so you can make him look however you want. Then you can put him in the window of your house to let the world know what a talented S.O.B. you are. Reserve your spot by going to http://www.monsterkolor.com/.

Yeah, this Deathstroke statue may be based off of his updated design from the New 52 series of books from DC Comics, but all anyone is thinking about right now is that he will be prominently featured in the Batman: Arkham Origins video game. It's a prequel, which everyone knows how I feel about those, but if it even closely resembles the last two games then I will be extremely happy to lose countless hours of my life to it.
Kotobukiya created this ArtFX statue and he stands 12 inches tall and features a removable mask. He'll be released in November for $119.99, which is a pretty big chunk of change until you see one of these in person. The amount of detail, let alone the size of it, will blow you away.
How is it possible there are any of these left to be had? Only 13 of these red glitter with white paint Bones figures from Mike Egan were made, yet they're not sold out yet. And they're only $60, so just put it on one of those credit cards you never plan on paying off and just forget about it. No big deal. Visit http://mikeegan.bigcartel.com/ and help these guys sell out today.

I often wonder what my cats dream about as they're sleeping all day. There has to be some crazy stuff going on in their furry little heads. I really really hope that there dreams resemble something close to this.
Dubose Art is making every cat's fantasy come to life with Thunder Puss. This edition comes with a pretty sweet mace that is good for tenderizing mice or pounding the skull of a vet who gets a little too grabby. Only 10 of this version were made and they go on sale today (May 18th) at 2pm Central time. Realize the unbridled fury of Thunder Puss at http://duboseartanddesign.com/.
Tomorrow will mark the final release of Task One's hand made Pillaging Pop Culture Series 1. These last three figures will again be part of the Super Series Sunday releases from Tenacious Toys. And to make these even more unique, every Animal figure will feature a different t-shirt. Like always, these are available for $40 for one blind box or $100 for the set of three. You can still purchase a full set of 18 figures plus an exclusive chase for $600, but only until June 1st. After June 1st you will be forced to live with the regret of not buying these and face the crushing pain that comes with it. Don't live with regret, live with toys! Get em at 4pm eastern time tomorrow (May 19th) from www.tenacioustoys.com.

This brain has gone rogue! I'd like to think this is what your brain will do to you if you watch that Honey Boo Boo show. That it would just completely rebel and wage war on you for subjecting it to something so dumb. A boy can dream.
This is Nex and he/she/it was made by Dead Hand Toys. It's hand cast in resin and hand painted and a deal at only $40. Plus the arms are articulated, so you could actually play with it in the bath tub with your GI Joes. Don't act like you have no idea what I'm talking about you cheeky monkey.
Preorders go up today (May 17th) at 5pm Easter time at http://deadhand.bigcartel.com/.
I am completely smitten with this pin-up inspired Harley Quinn statue from DC Collectibles. This is by far my favorite incarnation of the Joker's psychotic companion and I might have to actually cave and buy this one (if the whole begging for gifts thing doesn't work out that is). Would it be wrong to put a donation button up on my blog so you could sponsor me and my toy buying addiction:
For the price of a cup of coffee a day, you could help an obsessive collector realize his dream of owning every toy he could ever want. For your donation you will receive a monthly newsletter and a picture of your sponsored collector, hugging his most prized possessions. And unlike Sally Struthers and those other crooks who only actually give those kids 10% of your donation while spending the rest on buckets of chicken, you can sleep soundly knowing that every penny has gone into buying objects to make Chris happy.
I wonder if I can get Sarah Mclaclan to do a commercial for me and depress the crap out of you.
While I'm working on my sad face and trying to find a filthy cage I can fit into, you can go and preorder this statue right now so it can be delivered to you when it releases in November. I eagerly await your sponsorships.

I've always been fascinated to learn how things are made. I don't really care what it is either, I just want to see it start from raw materials and then make its way to a finish product. I love huge machinery that was built for one simple little job. While this guy doesn't involve any mechanical monstrosities to bring him to life, it is still fascinating to see how he went from a mere drawing to a cuddly, 3 dimensional toy.
A Little Stranger prototyped Bartholomew Punchyface based on the work of Scott Tolleson and Luke Chueh. I wouldn't have had the faintest idea how to do this, and probably would have just glued a bunch of random stuff together, gotten frustrated, and taken a nap. Thankfully for you, no one asks me to make plushies. See the entire process with tons of images at http://www.alittlestranger.com/wordpress/.
This totally looks like something that's edible. How could it not have a delicious flavors? Evilos painted up 15 of these Vinylmation toys with Monster Kolor paint and the entire process was filmed by Jordan Ahern (Dopevinyl) who is making a documentary about designer toys. The color on these is pretty awesome and looks more like a paint job you would see on a car rather than a toy. You can add one to your collection tomorrow (May 17th) at 9am Pacific time by visiting http://evilosart.blogspot.com/.
And you can check out the video of how they were made by going to https://vimeo.com/66292219.

This might be the most insane thing I've ever written about. The sheer madness/brilliance of this idea has literally reached out from my computer screen and smacked me in the face. Funko will have a whopping 57 exclusive items at this year's San Diego Comic Con, and if you are attending the event or happen to have a wholesale account with them, then you can secure each and every one of them at a discounted price. So not only will you not have to spend the entire convention hovering around their booth waiting for toys to release, they'll also ship them to your house for you for free (if you live in the US, other countries have to pay they're own shipping). They would sell all of these toys normally for $950, but if you buy before July 1st you can secure them all for $799! They haven't announced specifics yet, but there will be Pop! Vinyl, bobble heads, and other vinyl figures included in the mix.
There are a ton of clues about what toys you will get and all the other important info you need to buy them at this link:
Psychosis is an attractive quality in any woman. Sure, you could be into girls who "have there stuff together" or that "lack felony convictions" but what fun is that? You'll have much better stories to tell your grand kids if your special someone has a murderous gleam in her eye.
Everyone's favorite former Arkham Asylum employee is getting the Premium Format Figure treatment from Sideshow Collectibles. And she ain't a cheap date. There are 2 different versions of this figure, but both of them cost $359.99. The exclusive version comes with a switchable head that features her without her makeup. I don't know why there is a difference when the prices are the same, maybe one is more limited. What I do know is that they start taking preorders for these tomorrow (May 16th) and they offer payment plans. You can totally justify this to your significant other by saying you're trying to build your credit. Unless you took my earlier advice and are with a sociopath. Then you should just be quiet.
Vegetable are the devil's work. Sure, they make up a huge portion of that huge pyramid, but you know who created that? The government. You know what else the government created? Taxes and speeding tickets. So naturally I distrust the pro-vegetable agenda. And now that I've seen this broccoli with his fangs a horns, I know that I've been right all along.
Paul Shih is the creator of both BEVIL and Sushi Kaiju. He obviously has a thing for anthropomorphizing the things he eats,which is cool. Most of what I eat tends to come alive after I've made futile attempts to digest it and it then wages a holy war on my guts. That's another story for another day, hopefully involving Oprah Winfrey and some inspirational music. Then I cash in.
Both of these resin food dudes will be available this Friday (May 17th) at 1pm Pacific time from http://paulshih.storenvy.com/. They're limited to 10 pieces each.

HAVANA TIMES – In Colombia, tens of thousands of people took to the streets Wednesday after trade unions called for a national strike to protest against the government of Iván Duque and a proposed tax reform bill. At least two protesters were killed. Union leaders said protests occurred across Colombia.
Diógenes Orjuela: “This march is the biggest display of outrage against this government, against the tax reforms and against the labor and pension reform. The government has gone against the country, and the country is responding, in more than 500 cities in the country.”

“There are days as a photographer where I have “pinch me!” moments. Rebekah and Kevin’s engagement session had so many of those! Not only did I get to ride in a hot air balloon (bucket list!!) but I was absolutely honored to be documenting the love of some of the most contagiously happy people ever. Their session started in a vintage ice cream parlor, followed by a walk through the historic city of Easton with balloons spelling out “love” and red heart-shaped umbrellas overhead. Even a little rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of these two love birds. We wrapped up to their session at a hot air balloon festival where they got to dance around inside a partially-inflated balloon and go up for a ride after dark. Rebekah did such an incredible job dreaming up such a beautiful shoot and she tied it all together perfectly with the styling! Enjoy! ” – Joy Michelle Photography
How did you find your photographer?
We actually went to high school together! I’m obsessed with pictures, which is obnoxiously obvious if you look at any of my social media so I knew I needed a special photographer for my most special day! Kevin and I were talking about photographers before we got engaged and I was raving about Joy Michelle to him! Little did I know he would store that info away later and use joy as the photographer to capture the moment he actually proposed!
What are you DIY-ing for your wedding?
For my wedding I am DIY-ing 2 marque signs, both the word ‘love’ one is a little over 3 ft tall and the other is a little over 1 ft. I am also making my archway with reclaimed columns from an old house. I am making 4-5 ft boxwood covered letters and some other special details for my day!
What are you looking forward to the most?
Our first look! I cannot wait to have a special moment with my husband and it just be us! I cannot wait to see the pictures capturing my most special moments! There will be a few surprises to be captured in those moments too! – Rebekah

What would happen if you flipped a switch, and suddenly every new car that came off assembly lines was electric?
It’s obviously a thought experiment, since right now EVs have close to just 1 percent market share worldwide. We’re still years away from EVs even hitting double-digit demand on a global basis, and the entire supply chain is built around the internal combustion engine, anyways.
At the same time, however, as Visual Capitalist's Jeff Desjardins notes, the scenario is interesting to consider. One recent projection, for example, put EVs at a 16 percent penetration by 2030 and then 51 percent by 2040. This could be conservative depending on the changing regulatory environment for manufacturers – after all, big markets like China, France, and the U.K. have recently announced that they plan on banning gas-powered vehicles in the near future.
The Thought Experiment
We discovered this “100 percent EV world” thought experiment in a UBS report that everyone should read. As a part of their UBS Evidence Lab initiative, they tore down a Chevy Bolt to see exactly what is inside, and then had 39 of the bank’s analysts weigh in on the results.
After breaking down the metals and other materials used in the vehicle, they noticed a considerable amount of variance from what gets used in a standard gas-powered car. It wasn’t just the battery pack that made a difference – it was also the body and the permanent-magnet synchronous motor that had big implications.
(Click to enlarge)
Courtesy of: Visual Capitalist
As a part of their analysis, they extrapolated the data for a potential scenario where 100 percent of the world’s auto demand came from Chevy Bolts, instead of the current auto mix. Related: What Happens If Trump Trashes The Iran Nuclear Deal?
If global demand suddenly flipped in this fashion, here’s what would happen:
(Click to enlarge)
Some caveats we think are worth noting:
The Bolt is not a Tesla
The Bolt uses an NMC cathode formulation (nickel, manganese, and cobalt in a 1:1:1 ratio), versus Tesla vehicles which use NCA cathodes (nickel, cobalt, and aluminum, in an estimated 16:3:1 ratio). Further, the Bolt uses a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, which is different from Tesla’s AC induction motor – the key difference there being rare earth usage.
Big Markets, small markets:
Lithium, cobalt, and graphite have tiny markets, and they will explode in size with any notable increase in EV demand. The nickel market, which is more than $20 billion per year, will also more than double in this scenario. It’s also worth noting that the Bolt uses low amounts of nickel in comparison to Tesla cathodes, which are 80 percent nickel.
Meanwhile, the 100 percent EV scenario barely impacts the steel market, which is monstrous to begin with. The same can be said for silicon, even though the Bolt uses 6-10x more semiconductors than a regular car. The market for PGMs like platinum and palladium, however, gets decimated in this hypothetical scenario – that’s because their use as catalysts in combustion engines are a primary source of demand.

When circumstances change after the entry of a custody and visitation order (i.e. Parenting Plan), a modification may be necessary. The standard in Georgia to decide child custody is what is in the best interest of the child. However, life changes over time, so what is in the best interest of the child at the time of the original child custody order does not always remain in their best interest. Georgia law allows for parents to petition the court to modify visitation once every two years. There does not need to be a substantial change in circumstances of either parent or the child. When there is a change in material circumstances or conditions of either parent or the child then a parent may petition the court for a change in custody.
O.C.G.A. § 19-9-3(8)(b) In any case in which a judgment awarding the custody of a child has been entered, on the motion of any party or on the motion of the judge, that portion of the judgment effecting visitation rights between the parties and their child or parenting time may be subject to review and modification or alteration without the necessity of any showing of a change in any material conditions and circumstances of either party or the child, provided that the review and modification or alteration shall not be had more often than once in each two-year period following the date of entry of the judgment. However, this subsection shall not limit or restrict the power of the judge to enter a judgment relating to the custody of a child in any new proceeding based upon a showing of a change in any material conditions or circumstances of a party or the child.

John McCain completely goes off on Los Angeles Dodgers
Bet you anything McCain issued the tweet while playing with his iPhone during a Syria hearing.
The Battle of the John McCain Twitter Beef was launched at 2 p.m. ET Washington, D.C. time with the John McCain Twitter ire at the Los Angeles Dodgers. "No-class act by a bunch of overpaid, immature, arrogant, spoiled brats! "The #Dodgers are idiots" http://www.azcentral.com/insiders/danbi...", Sen. McCain tweeted.
The incident which has McCain so apoplectic is the Dodgers jumping in the Chase Field swimming pool to celebrate Thursday night's NL West-clinching victory.
The article to which the senator is linking is a Dan Bickley Arizona Republic piece entitled The Dodgers are idiots, a perfectly understandable bit of sore-loser homerism by a Diamondbacks journalist.
But clearly Senator McCain could use a Prozac. And a link shortener.

Simple. There is nothing to strap on, nothing to start up; staffing requirements are minimal. Climbers adjust their rate of ascent with the twist of a knob. Climbing angle changes with the turn of a wheel.
It’s Fun. Some may climb because it’s there; for the rest of us, it’s got to be fun.
Reliable. Treadwall has a proven, 11-year track record. More than 1,000 machines are in place worldwide. Operation is reliable, maintenance is minimal and service is swift.
Safe. Climbers are never more than 1-2 feet off the floor. When it’s time to stop, they just step down to the floor.

By Prof Alex Bryson, Social Research Institute, University College London | 4 min
Union membership as a percentage of the working population – union density – has been falling across much of Europe and elsewhere. Less well known is the fact that collective bargaining coverage – the percentage of workers whose pay is set through employer bargaining with trade unions – is high and stable in many countries across Europe. It is over 90% in France and Austria, for example, while around three-quarters of workers in Scandinavian countries are covered by collective bargaining (OECD, 2017).
The UK is rather different. Back in the early 1980s 70 percent of workers were covered by collective bargaining. But that was before the demise of sectoral bargaining – industry-level arrangements – in the 1980s and 1990s (Millward et al., 2000). Today roughly a quarter of workers in the UK have their pay set via collective bargaining. Unions also make submissions to the Pay Review Bodies (PRBs) which make pay settlement recommendations to government for a further 2.5 million public sector workers.
One of the reasons why sectoral bargaining collapsed in the 1980s was employers’ desire to reassert their right to manage, and to lower wages in an effort to compete on the price of goods and services. There was also a belief that, by avoiding collective bargaining employers could alter labour practices and raise productivity (Bryson and Wilkinson, 2001). Academic studies examining links between collective bargaining and productivity indicate that the sort of fragmented, decentralised collective bargaining arrangements that dominate today in countries like the UK and the United States are not particularly beneficial for productivity, although there is a wide dispersion in estimated effects across studies (Doucouliagos and Laroche, 2003).
However, a growing body of research indicates that collective bargaining arrangements characterised by two-tier arrangements in which ‘base rates’ of pay set via co-ordinated sectoral bargaining supplemented by local pay bargaining at firm or workplace level, can be highly beneficial for both firm-level and country-level productivity.
A good example is Norway. Here, under what Erling Barth and co-authors termed ‘the Scandinavian model’, collective bargaining has delivered high and sustained productivity gains. The system is ‘two tier’, allowing employers to belong to both sector level and firm-level bargaining arrangements (unlike countries like Germany where employers must make a choice between the two). Through the wage compression it generates, and the resultant process or creative destruction it has fuelled investment and fostered enhanced productivity (Barth et al., 2014). It is credited with taking wages out of competition, providing a level playing-field between competing employers in terms of pay, permitting them to focus on other managerial priorities such as competing through product and process innovations (Bryson and Dale-Olsen, 2021). The biggest productivity beneficiaries in the Norwegian system were those firms with the strongest trade unions, as indicated by union membership (Barth et al, 2020). This system is also valuable when facing intense international competition. Across Europe countries with fragmented collective bargaining systems have suffered job losses in firms most exposed to trade with China, but countries with co-ordinated collective bargaining have avoided these losses (Barth et al., 2023)
It seems likely that such a system could operate well in the UK too. The UK was traditionally characterised by the two-tier system too, so the approach is not alien to the UK. Unionisation in the UK is already delivering a number of economic benefits to firms, as indicated by recent research findings for Britain showing unionisation is associated with cutting-edge human resource management practices (Bryson et al., 2005), workplace-level product and process innovation (Bryson and Dale-Olsen, 2021) and even improved worker wellbeing (Blanchflower et al., 2022). But the incidence of bargaining in the UK remains low and so the ‘reach’ of the system is limited. It also lacks the co-ordination required to maximise the benefits of collective bargaining as demonstrated by the Norwegian system.
Now seems like a good time to revisit this issue to establish the pre-requisites to resuscitating sectoral bargaining in Britain. Beginning dialogue between trade unions and employer associations would be a good place to start. Government will also need to consider reintroducing arrangements permitting the extension of collectively agreed terms and conditions to the non-union sector which ensure a level playing field for basic terms and conditions. These arrangements, such as Schedule 11 of the Employment Protection Act and the Fair Wages Resolution, were rescinded in the 1980s but could be re-established. This would be true ‘levelling-up’.

I just uploaded a track to SoundCloud from my 1998 collaboration with the Implicit Order. It’s a nice mix of noise & calming ambience… one of my favorite tracks from that project.

Here here, Darby. Good points all around.
I'm not much of a presence around here anymore because there are, like 8 figures left that I want Hasbro to make to finish my collection and I'll be done. I pop in to see if they're coming, but the rest of what's going on really doesn't concern me anymore. My 5-year old son loves watching Rebels with me, though, and has started buying the Rebels figures, so these days I am advocating for him, filtered through my own experiences with this hobby.
I had my fun, now it's his turn, and I feel I am in a good position to guide him on his journey.
My son was looking at my figures and when I told him they made ones of the Rebels characters now, he wanted to get some to play with. He went to the store with Christmas money and we found that all that were available were the Zeb/Stormie 2-pack, Artoo and Threepio, and the Kanan/Ezra/Obi-Wan pack at TRU. None of the places we have been have had any of the single figures, and I suspect we nearly missed the Sabine/Stormie 2-pack (we saw Wicket and the Scout Trooper on the pegs.) Since then we have looked for more to no avail. We have also found no Rebels vehicles on the shelves...he is a big walker fan and wants one of those as well as the Phantom.
Last week he caved and bought a Bespin Luke/Darth Vader 2-pack just to add some more characters to his toybox (and he was excited about a pack with two lightsabers for instant dueling possibilities.) Routinely his figures play in and around my BMF which I get down for him and he uses it to substitute for the Ghost.
His favorite characters on the show are Chopper and Sabine, and he has been sad that he hasn't been able to find them yet. I promised him they're coming, as are the Inquisitor and other bad guys. I am happy with what we have been shown as in the pipeline, and I have to hold out hope that this stuff will show up somewhere soon in quantities that will allow him to get what he wants. I would be crushed for him if he missed his only chance at getting a Chopper or Inquisitor at the store last year.
I love that Sabine, Zeb and Hera all come with Stormtroopers. I wish there was an option to get Chopper, Kanan and Ezra that way, too, so he could build up a squad to fight. He is having fun dipping his toe into collecting figures, and so far the frustration of not being able to find what he wants hasn't stopped him since it is so early for him. Time will tell if things work out well for his collection. I feel so blessed to have a young Star Wars fan in the family.

The "Stability" patch stabilized a lot, spawn camping which was the biggest problem isnt as prominent anymore good job on that one. Tanks were nerfed to heavily there is nothing stopping a sidewinder from getting the flag in ground pounder anymore especcially if they are running the turret jammer skill, Outpost, Cluster Bombs and Auto-Repair were all balanced good job on that one. I still haven't seen anything concerning a flak gun nerf, how is a Warhawk veteran supposed to enjoy a good dogfight when any pilot can be skilled with a flak gun? Its annoying I might just go back to Warhawk atleast the lightning gun was balanced and took a bit of skill to use.
on 01-06-2012 02:42 PM
... there is nothing stopping a sidewinder from getting the flag in ground pounder anymore...
The way I see it, though, is that this might result in people being a bit more attacking and we'll have less 0-0 stalemates where most of the team just sit in their main base. If players feel they've more of chance of scoring then they'll be more willing to grab the flag.
I still haven't seen anything concerning a flak gun nerf, how is a Warhawk veteran supposed to enjoy a good dogfight when any pilot can be skilled with a flak gun? Its annoying I might just go back to Warhawk atleast the lightning gun was balanced and took a bit of skill to use.
Agree completely that the flak gun is over-powered. I've had a number of games where the enemy are are out-numbering my team in the sky and every enemy Hawk has flak, makes it extremely difficult to compete.

on 02-06-2012 07:31 AM
agreed I took to the sky a lot last night and nearly everytime I was killed by flak from the pilot behind. Most of the time it was another hawk I wasn't dog fighting. It needs nerfing a little or something.
Theres always something players will want "Tamed Down" now we have started on the Flak!!!!!
Yes pilots are using it to good effect as the other weapons availible were/are pretty dire!!!
Swarm missiles that are very easy to evade
Homing missiles that were so so slow it was criminal....we'll see over the next week how improved they have become now its patched....
As much as some think the Flak is OP its a weapon that can put very new pilots on a better footing against the very very good ex-Warhawk pilots & yes the ex-Warhawk pilots have used it to good effect as well....
As for being shot down by another Hawk you wer'nt dogfighting is'nt that called "Teamwork"?
on 02-06-2012 06:14 PM
Homing missiles are much much improved now...... No issues from me.
No issues regarding swarm from me..... you can lock on 8 to multiple targets and hold over 50 of them. They don't need to be more powerful.
I think the flak is a little out of balance but whether it is too power (shots wise) or the radius or distance of the shots need to be nerfed is another thing. Maybe reduce the amount of "bullets" it has?
I don't know what was wrong with the LG to be honest.
on 03-06-2012 01:25 PM
yhh flak gun so stupid soimetimes you just get killed in the air by them what was wrong with the LG at least it required skill and sometimes accuracy when you charge it up now people just spam the flak gun way to much bullets to much radius on it very easy to use with out no skill i know im crapp in the hawk but with the flak i can take them down easy so good pilots will finish you in 2 sec haaaaaa
on 03-06-2012 01:36 PM
Is it just me or have the graphics been affected by the tank nerfing? Now, when I fire a shell it barely seems to explode and just shows the building/vehicle damage instead. Makes it difficult to work out if you've actually caught anything sometimes.

Since Prince passed away a little over five years ago, an urgent topic of conversation for aging dorks like myself has been how “we” can keep his memory alive for future generations. And yet, in all of the endless discussions I’ve participated in since 2016, somehow I can’t recall “publish a young adult graphic novel about his impact on the Minneapolis music scene” ever coming up. Now, after reading MPLS Sound, I’m wondering how we all could have missed something so obvious.
MPLS Sound is not a comic “about” Prince–which may be the most brilliant thing about it. Instead, it tells the fictional story of Theresa Booker, who shares some key character traits with Prince–a lower-middle-class upbringing in segregated Minneapolis, a frustrated musician father, a steely determination and drive–with the added wrinkles that come with being a Black woman in a music industry dominated by White men. Prince is certainly present, serving by turns as an inspiration, benefactor, and antagonist for Theresa’s band, Starchild; but it’s Theresa with whom the book’s target audience will identify most readily. Putting her in the lead also allows writers Joseph P. Illidge and Hannibal Tatu to address more topical issues of sexism and colorism: asking the pointed question of how much space there was for a fuller-bodied, darker-skinned Black woman in even a post-Prince Minneapolis.

Prep 20 mins
Cook 15 mins
Soft and fluffy chocolate chip cookies. If you prefer harder cookies you can increase oven temp to 375* F and shorten baking time to 8-10 mins. If you like nuts add a cup to the dough with the morsles. Also, you can multiply the recipe and freeze for baking later. Form the dough into balls and partially freeze on cookie sheet(this prevents cookie dough from sticking and freezing together). then you can put them into a freezer bag and enjoy them later. To keep soft cookies soft, put a slice of bread in the container you store the cookies in.
- Preheat oven to 325*F.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, cream crisco, sugars, and vanilla.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Beat in flour mixture one cup at a time.
- Stir in morsles.
- Using a spoon to measure, roll dough into1 inch balls in palms and drop 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 325* F for 11-12 minutes.
- Allow to rest on cooling rack 10 minutes.
Wow....hold on...I'm eating one of these as I type... Ok, phew!! Delicious!!! This was different from all of the other recipes that I have tried (even the recipes that have over 250 reviews at 4.5 starts) and this is by far the best. It does seem to need a touch more sugar, but overall...PERFECT. They turned out amazing! I followed the recipe without making any changes; however I did have to bake these for about 16 minutes. But that is totally fine with me... These were super easy to make since you don't have to wait for butter to come to room temperature! I typically don't like planning that far in advance. I'm an impulse baker and having to wait for butter to come to room temperature is a pain so another bonus by using this recipe! Try these! Next time I will add an additional 1/4 cup of sugar. These are going in my "favorites".
UPDATE: After these sat for a day... they were really hard and I could taste how prominent the salt was. Way too much salt! So... I'm now making these a 2nd time, but really tweaking this recipe. When made as-is, these cookies will get hard and they do not spread out when baking. For some I'm sure this is ok, but I like chewy/soft cookies...and trying to bake these thick cookies at 325 just doesn't cut it. You have to bake them longer to get them baked all the way through so in turn you are not getting soft cookies. Also, I don't really like baking cookies with shortening. So here's what I did this time... I like these much better!!! I used margarine instead of shortening... I used half the amount of salt and I added apple cider vinegar. For those of you who have never tried this - this will ensure your cookies are soft. This is a trick I learned from my mom who is an awesome baker.
Very, very nice, & definitely a winner of a recipe, as well as a keeper, too! I'm with Katzen, though in that I increased the amount of chocolate chips! Even managed to share a few of these great fixes with a neighbor, but did keep most of them right here for our own enjoyment! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's Pick A Chef]
If i could give this recipe 10 stars i would. But i guess i'll settle for 5. These are A-MAZING. I love the fact they use shortening due to the fact i ran out of butter 1 week ago and it's great for those days you don't feel like waiting for butter to soften. they're amazingly soft not only the day of but the day after. My hubbs ate all of the cookies yesterday, granted there were only 6 but thats alot coming from him. Anywho, this will be my new chocolate chip recipe, Thanks again. OH and for the people having trouble with their cookies not being baked all the way at 325. I baked mine at 375 for about 10 mins and they were perfect.

Thursday night was a presentation by the Pasco Pinellas Heart Gallery at Mahaffey theater to bring awareness to foster children. They did a fabulous job, it was a true community effort.
Please take a look at their website. This group does an amazing job of raising awareness and bringing the community together. Without them I would not have two of my children today.
Once upon a time I had one child. I worked in a preschool as the Pre K teacher. Many of the children in my class came from less than ideal circumstances. We had children who had been abused, had disorders, had strippers for mommies, lived with domestic violence, were aggressive themselves, and lived in poverty. On my first day of work there was a birthday chart. It was colorful with little names printed with black magic marker on balloons and their date of birth listed below. The name of one little boy was Rafiq. However he did not come to school. Eventually we took the name down. Time went on, new children joined our group. Something told me one of these children was going to come home with me. I couldn't figure out who or how. The thought of one of these mommies dying was not something I could wrap my head around. I told my husband my thoughts. I think he suspected I was crazy. Elle pretending to be the psychic again. March 23 2004, a case manager from FCP showed up with two little kids, a 3yr old girl and a 4 year old boy, at 6 in the morning. Somewhere in their history they used to go to our school. Even though we had no records, we took them that day. They were Rafiq and Shamecca. I knew the names. Shamecca had been in the class with my daughter, she was handful. Rafiq was a toothless quiet boy, and I could not understand his speech. He played under the table that day. I let him. His grandmother showed up to pick him up. She explained that the children would not be back. She was putting them in a daycare near her. She also explained the the children's parents were on drugs and it was a big mess. I saw the parents later on that evening speaking to the director. They were heart broken and I wanted to be far away from them, it was such an uncomfortable situation. I did not see Rafiq or Shamecca again. I moved from that town to another county. I enrolled in Montessori Teacher Training in June 2006. I had to leave my family for a month to learn Montessori. I absolutely loved it. Two weeks after I got back from Montessori school I spoke to a friend on the phone. A friend I had urged to adopt. She had gone through the MAPP process and was waiting for a home study and a child. She wanted to show me the new heart gallery on line. We were both excited about seeing the faces of the foster children looking for homes. I had always wanted to be a foster mom. I had gone to an orientation two years before but was unable to convince my spouse. So here we were pointing and clicking and then Stephanie says to 'search all' and then I saw something very familiar. The names 'Rafiq and Shamecca'. I gasped and she got chills. I saw there faces, I listened to their voices. I called the heart gallery they gave me the number for FCP, I called FCP- the children were still available, I called my husband. Later that night we spoke. I couldn't leave those children in Foster Care. He didn't think we could afford it. We couldn't sleep. Then I found out about subsidy. We might just be able to afford it. I found out about orientation and MAPP class. I drove a one woman crusade to get these children. I had to leave my dream of being a Montessori teacher on another burner. This is the story of how these heart gallery put us together. Without them I would have never known these kids were parentless.

What does the "Colonial" name signify?
Colonial is the designation used for blocks that feature a vertically split channel. This split creates the appearance of two different sized blocks but in the convenience and strength of a single unit. The number "8" simply refers to the the height of the block in inches, which helps to differentiate it between the two versions; 6 and 8.

So tomorrow I am running the Southend half and have to confess to feeling more than a little worried.
My running gas taken a real hammering lately. Taken a new job which I love but is longer hours and a long commute and just haven't been able to fit much in or had the energy to do it.
I ran 10 miles last Sunday which after Mile 7 was very hard, although it was really hot, however I did manage to do it in my quickest time ever !!!
So I toyed with the idea of pulling out of tomorrow but have decided to give it a go,. I'm trying to tell myself that it just doesn't matter about time, just get round but I know that there will be that side of me that wants to do it well.
I am just not the sort of person that does anything under prepared but tomorrow I will be and hoping that my legs will remember what they have to do.
I am hoping the sun will not make an appearance and dare I say it, hoping for a little rain.
Mental preparation is key for me now.
It's gonna be hard but hopefully I will manage it and be able to tell the tale with a shiny medal.

Eleven months to the day after he was hired as their assistant head coach and offensive coordinator, the Ottawa Redblacks have sent Khari Jones on a down-and-out pattern.
Using much kinder words, they’ve told the 52-year old former quarterback to go deep and keep going.
Parting ways with Jones after one season on the job might raise some eyebrows given the circumstances, but a shakeup was required — if only in an attempt to appease disgruntled customers — after the team missed the playoffs with an identical 4-14 record to a year ago.
Jones was also somewhat handcuffed from the outset.
Because of injuries, the Redblacks were forced to go most of the season with rookie quarterback Dustin Crum, who arrived at camp fourth on the depth chart.
Despite seeing plenty of promise from the 24-year-old, Jones was unable to make lemonade out of the lemons he was dealt.
While the Redblacks had the sixth-highest scoring offence in the nine-team CFL, only the Montreal Alouettes had fewer offensive touchdowns scored than the 33 produced by Ottawa.
The Redblacks were also last in net offence (318.8 yards per game), average yards per play (5.64), passing yards (220.4 per game), passing touchdowns (11), number of 30+ yard completions (15) and passing efficiency (82.1).
In other statistical categories, Ottawa finished fifth in first downs, third in number of offensive plays, second in rushing yards, second in rushing attempts, third in average gain per rush and seventh in average gain per first down.
While there’s been no indication yet on the timetable for hiring Jones’ replacement, it’s believed one candidate will be Tommy Condell, who was the OC in Hamilton when Redblacks GM Shawn Burke was with the Ticats.
Condell, who is currently the Tabbies quarterbacks coach, has held a number of different jobs in the CFL since 1997 — including QBs and receivers coach/passing coordinator of the Ottawa Renegades in 2004-05.
Also believed to be looking for a coaching gig in the CFL is former Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris.
“On behalf of the Ottawa Redblacks, I’d like to thank Khari Jones for his contributions to our organization and his professionalism over the last year,” head coach Bob Dyce said in a statement. “Coach Jones gives everything he has to his role as a coach in the CFL, and we wish him all the best in the next chapter of his career.”

Last month I was sent a note reminding me about the kindness or kick-in-the-ass power of Karma. Interestingly, it was a topic I ended with last year. I guess I was meant to review it again. However you want to define Karma, mostly it’s believed to be the energy of all-knowingness and balance, equalizing all wrongs with a right, etc.
2016 made me witness that, regardless of how intense the attempts to rationalize the most self-serving of behaviors, the real underlying motives are already and always, known. In other words, we can run, but we can’t hide – not even from our own very best designs of delusion.
Regardless of how open and honestly we enter a situation, we may not be received in the same vein. Trying to find or understand how anyone can talk themselves into believing their own good motives, while they take advantage of someone, is futile. It’s an infinite circling of crazy.
The sort who act in these ways may never capitulate. Contrition is a game of supply and demand. They demand you supply it, even when they’re blatantly exposed. Twisting falsehoods into acceptable fact for themselves and anyone willing to believe them, is fair play (flattery is their best friend). …Pffft, no matter for the all-knowing Karmic eye.
We don’t always get to see this, but this year I did; regardless of how things seem on the surface or in public, the course correction energies are always at play. Where I was devastated that I’d lost something amazing, I found I’d been absolutely rescued from the lowest of possible futures. Yes, it hurt, all the way to that final understanding, but when the smoke cleared, it was obvious that some months of pain could have easily been an engagement in years of agonizing misery. Well, what can I say? Things are looking up.
I hope for the same for any others who have struggled to keep heads and hearts above water. Fight for what you have to, but be bold; bravely look at its truths too, then hold the faith that you’ve got what you need.
Thank you, so very much, to those who saw me, heard me, and stood by me. Thank you for your strengths that allowed you to gently hold my heart even through my (most definitely miserably) worst. Thank you, for teaching me and healing me, and most of all, for the love in 2016.
Wishing the very best for all souls in 2017… Cheers!

All about ANIMALS 24-7:
ANIMALS 24-7 is a nonprofit independent online investigative newspaper and information service reporting about humane work worldwide. Our journalistic creed is to “Comfort the afflicted, afflict the comfortable, print the news, and raise hell.”
ANIMALS 24-7 reports about zoonotic diseases shared among animals and humans. For example, see our extensive coverage of issues associated with COVID-19, rabies, African swine fever, avian influenzas, and Newcastle disease. (Use our search engine to find coverage by disease name.)
ANIMALS 24-7 is especially noted for our in-depth coverage of attacks by pit bulls, other dangerous dogs, and exotic pets such as big cats and snakes.
The ANIMALS 24-7 dangerous dog data library includes sub-menus on pit bull statistics, pit bulls & public safety, pit bulls & the humane community, voices of pit bull experience, pit bull liability, pit bull legislation, pit bull history & sociology, pit bull behavior, dogfighting, pit bull advocates, pit bulls abroad, bad dogs & minority communities, wolf hybrids, with additional sub-menus on Rottweilers, Dobermans, Presa Canarios, and Boerboels.
ANIMALS 24-7 also reports extensively about topics including:

• and the many global issues associated with raising cattle, pigs, poultry, farmed fish, and other livestock for human consumption. Examples are the effects of animal agriculture on hunger, climate change, pollution, water scarcity and human wellness.
ANIMALS 24-7 takes appreciative note of the many contributions to humane work and animal well-being made by Africans, Asians, and Americans of color.

ANIMALS 24-7, in addition, does extensive ongoing statistical research of humane issues and crimes against animals, such as abuse and neglect. We have been doing this for longer, in greater depth and on a wider range of relevant topics, than anyone else in the animal rights, animal welfare, and compassionate conservation fields. (We also have sub-menus of cat-related coverage and on compassionate conservation topics, rotating on our home page.) Our staff experience with animal rescue, gathering related data, and reporting our findings dates back into the early 1960s.
ANIMALS 24-7 is incorporated to conduct activities which are exclusively charitable, literary and/or educational within the meaning of IRS section 501(c)(3), Internal Revenue Code of 1954, for the purpose of exposing the existence of cruelty to animals and educating the public of the need to prevent and eliminate such cruelty; and studying animal-related issues via research, surveys, and investigative reports.

Two cups of boneless skinless chicken breast ( can be substituted with ground chuck or turkey burger
1 can of whole kernel corn
1 can of black beans
1 lg can of el passo enchilada sauce
2 cans of Campbell's nacho cheese soup
1 lg bag of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
10 flour tortillas
What you do is (and you can add things or subtract things to your liking we will add rice next time we think) you preheat the oven to 350.
Mix in one bowl the enchilada sauce and nacho soup and set aside. We use a George Foreman grill for the chicken so it is done very fast and is juicy, cook and shred the chicken tenderloins.
In a bowl mix the corn, chicken, black beans, rice if you like and fine diced green onions.
Pour enough of the sauce mixture to cover the bottom of the pans you will use, then warm the tortilla's for about a minute covered with paper towel in the microwave so their soft to roll.
Fill them with the chicken mixture, a dash of the shredded cheese and line the pan with them.
Once the pan is full cover the top of them with more sauce, shredded cheese and greens of the green onions.
Baker for 30 minutes and their done! Very simple and quick meal and their oh so good!~ If you don't like them a bit spicy or making them for little ones use the cheddar cheese soup and not the nacho one. Less spicy.
So, after dinner we sat with a glass of blackberry wine and watched The Boys Are Back. Some would suggest that I enjoy sad movies but it is not the sadness or the tear quality I look for it is movies about the human experience. I will never forget watching My Sisters Keeper with my daughter Kori and she and I honestly and literally killed an entire box of Puffs by the time that movie was over and even after the credits rolled we were still crying it touched us both so much. I remember saying and Don reminds me every time I want to watch it again that I said "That was the best movie I will never watch again". I like these types of movies because yes, their one of my favorite genre of movies but I love movies about the human experience because you can either relate to it, know someone who could or it is an affirmation of what is good and bad in life. What we take for granted, what could happen and I find myself being so full of gratitude and sincere love and emotion when their over. One of my favorites also is the movie P.S. I Love You. Not only...is Gerard Butler my crush husband in another life hot hunk of OMGGness, :)...ahem...the movie is so great. My oldest daughter Sam came and made me go with her to see that movie at the theater with her one night and at the time I had been mad at Don for something completely pointless and meaningless and the movie just tore me to pieces. I came home sobbing and saying "I'm sorry, I got mad at you for something so stupid and I love you and don't want you to ever die on me" LOL Point made. So the movie tonight was good and touching. And since I have just been working on a few things here and there. Piddling as I call it. Made a new banner I hope to upload here when I am done typing you all a novel. Who actually reads all of this? I do not know but my soul says write / type and so it is. :)
I am a bit bummed that my car took far more of my long awaited and anticipated weekend but its done and there is always tomorrow. Hopefully having a swap with my sister and her room mate Chris tomorrow, going to see my mom for a bit and the rest of the day will be making art! If you are not in the know, a swap is when we go through art supplies, scrap booking materials and scraps of all sorts, and we fill a shoebox with things we have extra of or things we think the other will enjoy more than ourselves and we swap it. We go through the boxes and trade if you will. Last one we did was so fun here is a photo of our scrap madness! It is so cool its like shopping with no money!! :)
Fun right?! You bet...my sister saves and gives me things he finds that are Blythe because she knows I am obsessed with Blythe dolls. She had one and gave it to me to do some photography of and play with and I eventually coned her out of it but I want so many of them. Only the old ones from the 70's though. I like the new ones but there is something about the ones that were surfacing in the 70's when they stopped making them that I just am fascinated with. Anyone not in the know and curious here is a link to the Blythe official website and there is a ton of info on the net about Blythe dolls..
And so...excited to do a swap tomorrow and also get around to some painting myself before the new work week presents itself. I hope you all are having a great weekend thus far sorry for the novel here but the week days do not permit me to do very much with my blog so its my weekend treat and HEY...i have so much to tell you guys!!! :)
Peace & Love

To paraphrase Hank Williams Jr. on Fall Monday evenings, “Are you ready for some baseball?” Thanks to a rainout in April, the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox will play four games in a span of roughly 48 hours this weekend. Their Friday doubleheader begins at 5:10 p.m. Eastern, with the second game following shortly after the first. Then, the teams turn around to play afternoon games on Saturday and Sunday. Assuming a relatively speedy finale, the clubs will play at least 36 innings of baseball in two days.
Sounds fun, right? It may not be for a shorthanded Tigers pitching staff. The bullpen, already fighting with one arm (Francisco Rodriguez) tied behind its back, threw a lot of high stress innings in their series against the Houston Astros. The starters were generally able to work deep into games to prevent too much wear-and-tear, but a tough series, late flight, and early doubleheader could wreak havoc as the team continues its longest road trip of the season.
Then there are the White Sox, who are no pushovers. They have come apart a bit since last facing the Tigers, with a 7-15 record in the month of May. However, they have scored 106 runs since leaving Detroit at the end of April, an average of 4.8 per game. Based on run differential alone, they should be .500 in May and three games ahead of the Tigers in the AL Central standings.
One reason for Chicago’s skid is their bad injury luck. Not only are starters James Shields and Carlos Rodon still out of action, but spot starter Dylan Covey will likely miss the series. The bullpen has also sustained a few casualties. Nate Jones and Jake Petricka were recently put on the disabled list, and Zach Putnam is still recovering from elbow soreness. Catcher Geovany Soto is another new addition to the DL, and he will be out for another few months.
There is plenty of firepower leftover to make life difficult for the Tigers, though. Avisail Garcia still hasn’t cooled off yet, and is batting .333/.379/.570 on the season. Jose Abreu has turned up the heat with eight home runs and a .963 OPS in May. Matt Davidson has surprised as a part-time player, and Yolmer Sanchez has embraced a larger role over the past few weeks. Even the once ice-cold Tim Anderson is thawing, with an .861 OPS in May.
While the White Sox had an off day on Thursday, they are coming off a long road trip. Can either team ward off that fatigue for the next two days to gain an advantage in the upcoming series?
Game 1: RHP Buck Farmer (1-3, 4.12 ERA at AAA) vs. Mike Pelfrey (1-4, 4.85 ERA)
I believe Tigers fans everywhere are petrified that Mike Pelfrey will come out and have a dominant outing against his former team. If so, he’s at least trending in the right direction. Pelfrey limited the Seattle Mariners to just one run on four hits in six innings in his last outing, earning his first win of the season. His Game Score of 63 was his highest since August 28, 2015, a win over — you guessed it — the Detroit Tigers.
Game 2: LHP Matt Boyd (2-4, 5.36 ERA) vs. RHP Tyler Danish (1-3, 3.15 ERA at AAA)
A second round pick in 2013, Danish steadily progressed through the minors before making a brief cameo at the major league level in 2016. He combined to pitch just 1 2⁄3 innings in three appearances, including an outing to forget against these same Tigers. Danish has been solid in the minor leagues this year, holding opponents to a 3.15 ERA in 45 2⁄3 innings. His strikeout rate is quite low, though, and the 22-year-old will rely heavily on his sinking fastball to generate weak ground balls.
Game 3: RHP Michael Fulmer (5-2, 2.55 ERA) vs. LHP Derek Holland (4-3, 2.47 ERA)
Derek Holland is the one reclamation project that has panned out for the White Sox this year. He has limited opponents to a 2.47 ERA in 54 2⁄3 innings, and appears to be getting stronger as the season moves along. In his last four outings, he has collected 21 strikeouts. He has also topped the 100-pitch mark in each of his last three starts, an important barrier for a pitcher looking to field a more lucrative contract offer this offseason.
Game 4: RHP Jordan Zimmermann (4-3, 5.86 ERA) vs. RHP Miguel Gonzalez (3-5, 4.55 ERA)
While Derek Holland has maintained his low ERA, Miguel Gonzalez has not. It all started back in late April with the Tigers, who tagged him for seven runs (six earned) in six innings. Since then, Gonzalez has allowed 17 runs (16 earned) in just 22 1⁄3 innings. His home run troubles have continued as well, and he is struggling to pitch deeper into games. He doesn’t match up well with the Tigers, having allowed 36 earned runs in 42 1⁄3 innings throughout his career.
Who’s hot: Jose Abreu
No White Sox hitter has been more valuable than Abreu in the month of May. Hitting .301/.350/.613 with eight home runs in 22 games, Abreu has been worth 0.9 fWAR since the calendar turned over. While his walk rate isn’t great — and never has been — he has gotten on base often enough to score 19 runs this month. As his batting line suggests, he has squared up more pitches, and has a healthy 46.8 percent hard contact rate in May.
A deserving honorable mention is Tim Anderson, who has put up a 132 wRC+ in May despite striking out 17 times to just one walk in 69 plate appearances. Avisail Garcia has also stayed hot with a 130 wRC+ this month.
Who’s not: Melky Cabrera
For the past several years, Cabrera has seesawed back and forth between being an above and below average hitter. However, things have fallen off a cliff this year. Cabrera is hitting just .241/.293/.331 with nine extra base hits in 181 plate appearances this season, good enough for a 69 wRC+. He has been even worse in May, with a .585 OPS to his name. He has been worth -0.6 fWAR this month alone, and is nearly a full win below replacement level for the season. Yet, new manager Rick Renteria has responded by moving Cabrera up in the lineup. It hasn’t worked.
How the Tigers win this series
Once again, the Tigers have been fortunate enough to avoid Jose Quintana in a series against the White Sox. Chicago’s starting pitching has been among the worst in the American League this season (Quintana included), and they too are forced to start a call-up on Friday. Given the recent injuries they have also sustained in their bullpen, the Tigers offense should be able to take advantage of a struggling pitching staff and put up plenty of runs.
Of course, they also need to prevent runs. The starters were good about working deep into games in Houston, but the team could not string together enough solid performances in all aspects of the game. If the starter dominated, the offense struggled. If the pitching and defense failed, the offense would nearly pull off a stunning comeback.
Such has been life for the 2017 Tigers. They are now 4 1⁄2 games back in the AL Central, teetering on the edge of contention. However, with seven upcoming games against the dregs of the division, Detroit has a chance to make up some ground. To do so, they need to put together more complete performances over the weekend against the White Sox. If they continue to struggle, those hard questions we don’t want to ask will start to bubble up sooner rather than later.

NEGAUNEE - After one inning, it looked like it was going to be a slugfest between the Marquette Senior High School and host Negaunee in a doubleheader played at Irontown Field.
Two complete games turned in by MSHS pitchers Gabe Apple and Jack Kochevar turned into two close wins as defense reigned supreme in the Redmen's 5-3 and 1-0 victories.
Marquette improved to 7-12 and has now won seven of its last nine games after starting the season 0-10.

"We started off and scored three runs in the top half of the first inning, we were feeling pretty good," MSHS head coach Todd Koski said. "Then in their bottom half we kind of kicked the ball around and they got three back."
The Miners (11-9) bounced back, scoring on a home run from Tyler LaJoie and several Redmen fielding errors.
"We've been in that situation before, when we kick the ball around and then tightened it up. It wasn't anything new to them. They didn't get rattled," Koski said. "They know that they're a very good defensive team when their heads are in the game."

Both teams settled in after a rocky first inning and the game stayed tied at 3-3 until the fifth when Apple ripped a two-run double off the centerfield wall.
Apple also picked up the pitching win, allowing two earned runs, striking out five and giving up five hits.
"I thought I was throwing the hardest I've thrown all year and my arm felt pretty good the whole game and it never really got sore," Apple said.
In the nightcap, defense and big hits were once again the theme, and just like the first game, Apple made a big play.
With the game scoreless in the top of the sixth, MSHS sophomore Brendan Higbie reached after being hit by a pitch. Trevor Koski laid down a bunt to advance him, but ended up reaching second after a throwing error at first base.
Junior Jake Olson reached on a walk to load the bases with no outs, putting Apple in a position to break the tie.
"The first couple (pitches) I was trying to swing for the fences and the last one I was just trying to put it somewhere, but I didn't get a piece of it, just a little bloop," Apple said.
The "little bloop" dribbled down the third-base line and scored the game-winning run as Apple was thrown out at first.
"Gabe Apple has been on absolute fire for the last nine games and every time we need a hit, we're in a big spot, he's come up and he's been delivering all year long," Koski said. "I couldn't be happier with that young man."
On the defensive end, Kochevar controlled the batter's box, striking out seven while only allowing four hits. He also made plays in the field to preserve the complete-game shutout.
Negaunee threatened in the fifth inning when leadoff runner Bryce Beauchaine reached on a single.
The following batter, Tyler LaJoie, hit a pop-up that appeared was going to fall, but Kochevar made a leaping grab for the out, and jumped up to double up Beauchaine at first.
"Thank my outfielding for that. I've been diving in the outfield forever," Kochevar said. "I heard my team yell, 'first, first, first' and I saw the guy standing on second so I just made the easy throw back to first."
The Miners put two runners on in the bottom of the sixth inning, but were unable to convert as MSHS junior centerfielder Jake Olson made the final out.

The Department of Labor found that major and minor league clubhouse workers in the Giants organization worked longer hours than were recorded and made less than minimum wage. The employment agreement for clubhouse workers stipulated that they would make $55 for working 5.5 hours a day, but they were actually working 12 to 15 hours, according to the investigation. They also were not paid overtime. The club also improperly classified some employees in a way that allowed them to avoid paying overtime. And they failed to pay overtime, or paid too little overtime to some administrative staffer.We've shouted it before, we'll shout it again: "Stupid wage-slaves/
Your bosses will work you 'til you're in your graves!"
Employer abuse has never been stopped by fines & payment of owed wages alone; steps must be taken. Everyone in the Giants organization responsible for this outrage, right up the chain to where the buck stops, ownership, should be fired, their chattel should be taken to pay the screwed employees & the severe fines that need to be imposed, & all responsible should be

Tell me your name, nurse - it could save someone's life, Christopher Stevens reviews last night's TV
Horizon: How to Avoid Mistakes in Surgery, BBC2 9PM; Boss, More4 11pm
Doctors have a dark sense of humour. They usually manage to hide it from their patients, which makes it all the more unsettling when we catch a glimpse of it.
The scariest scene in How To Avoid Mistakes In Surgery showed a trainee anaesthetist in a mock-up operating theatre, losing his nerve as the ‘patient’ (a dummy) went into simulated heart failure.
Behind a two-way mirror, presenter Kevin Fong, himself an experienced anaesthetist, was doubled over with laughter. When he finally caught his breath, he said gleefully: ‘That was a pretty horrible scenario!’
It’s hard to see what was funny — especially after Dr Fong’s admission that ‘the weakest link in the room isn’t usually the drugs or the equipment: it’s us, the surgical team’.
The scariest scene in How To Avoid Mistakes In Surgery showed a trainee anaesthetist in a mock-up operating theatre, losing his nerve as the 'patient' (a dummy) went into simulated heart failure
To emphasise the dangers, he cited a tragic case from 2005, when 37-year-old Elaine Bromiley started to choke during an operation. Under anaesthetic, her breathing passage had collapsed. Doctors struggled to clear it for 25 minutes but, starved of oxygen, she went into a coma. She died 13 days later.
A simple medical procedure could have saved her but the operating team didn’t think of it. One junior nurse did, however: he brought a tracheotomy kit into the theatre, to insert a breathing tube into her throat. But the nurse didn’t dare speak up in front of senior doctors.
To ensure this never happens again, procedures have changed.
Checklists have been brought in, covering basic safety protocol that ensures, for instance, that all the team know each others’ names.
These checklists, similar to the ones used on airliner flight decks before takeoff, have helped cut fatalities during surgery by a third.
Fong presented this as a thrilling development, proving that the open-minded and dynamic world of medicine was eager to learn from other high-stress environments.
He redefined panic in psycho-analytic language, as ‘a loss of situational awareness, where we have a finite ability to cope with complex information’.
It made me want to define panic in more basic terms, as the hair-bristling fear engulfing me whenever I think of coming within a hundred yards of a hospital gurney.
The programme analyses what surgeons can learn from other professions about making life or death decision
Fong told us that, until recently, it was not standard practice for surgeons to run through even cursory formal checks, such as: Have we got the right patient here? What’s his name? What are our names? Are we sure we know which op we’re supposed to be doing?
And he admitted what we feared all along, that senior consultants are regarded with such awe that junior staff dare not question them, even if a patient is dying.
The appropriate response shouldn’t have been gallows humour — it should have been anger.
Those who, like me, fear the operating theatre also fear the nightmarish syndrome called ‘anaesthetic awareness’ which sees a patient immobile and unable to speak — but still capable of hearing and feeling everything around them.
In the opening episode of the political drama Boss, Kelsey Grammer’s campaign team had found a way to induce this waking paralysis. When they wanted an opponent’s attention, one jab with a needle produced 30 seconds of instant paralysis and undivided attention.
Other scenes were equally surreal. In one, Chicago’s corrupt mayor Tom Kane (played by Grammer, who made his name in the sitcoms Cheers and Frasier) stood on the roof of a building and commanded all the high-rise buildings to melt away, leaving the skyline as it was when Al Capone ruled the city. The set-up had me gripped from the opening.
In a derelict meat warehouse, Kane’s doctor gave him a bleak prognosis: he had Lewy Body disease, a type of dementia that would destroy his brain. Over the next three years, he was going to become aggressive, paranoid, delusional and psychotic.
The mayor heard the news without a flicker. Clearly, he’d been those things all his life.
Boss has earned Grammer an Emmy award for best actor, but the show was cancelled last autumn in the States after its second season.
Many British viewers will feel it’s hardly worth investing the time, knowing that the plot will be left unresolved, but if you enjoyed The Sopranos, give it a go.

Regardless, you have to still be sure that the water shoes you should purchase are durable despite how all water shoes are especially created for water durability. Water shoes are extremely common and they’re a good option if you intend on fishing on shallow waters. They come in a variety of designs. At the beginning, they are mostly made for adults or teenagers. Whenever you are trying to find the ideal water shoes for hiking you need to think about a few features which are most important.
The shoes include a zippered front, so that you can easily take them off or set them on. These shoes are perfectly created for flyfishing because it provides a very good grip due to their rubber outsole in addition to the tungsten steel cleats that keep you from slipping and offer great stability. In terms of stability, they seem to work just fine thanks to their razor-siped rubber outsole. For both women and men, Keen shoes are among the ideal footwear companies on account of their high high quality materials and styles. Not, What’s the ideal shoe, period.”

DYING DICE | 3D Animation & Clay Figures
TOOLS: Zbrush / MAYA / Mental Ray / Photoshop / Premiere
TIME: 09 / 2017 - 12 / 2017
Dying Dice is a short 3D animated film made completely by myself. It tells a story happened on a dinner table about two characters, a waiter and a tramp.
The initial inspiration for this story came to my mind when I was taking a shower. I was thinking about what would happen if I dice the dice? My first reaction was that a lot of small dice poured from the kerf. Then these small dice split into smaller dice. The process was like an iterative function in programming. Eventually I would get more and more dice until the screen was full of dice. I thought such a picture was very representative of the endless human desires, so I captured this idea and polished it into an animated work. In brief, This is an animated film about human nature and I hope it will inspire its viewers.
I wanted two avatars, one in the traditional sense of being an intriguing layout, but he had to look superb on the surface so I designed this character to be very similar to a real-life waiter.
#Elegant #Mysterious #Insidious #Elusive
Another role I hope he can represent the ugly side of human hearts, he must be ignorant and greedy. This avatar is very difficult to find reference in real life, he is more like a combination of drunkard, gamblers and tramps, and ultimately I designed this guy as he looks like right now.
#Dirty #Greedy #Ignorant #Hungry #Indolent
I designed a simple closed and dim environment for this animation.The whole scene is a common Western table with two metal chairs and dining tools on the long table. The only light in the scene comes from the long chandelier, creating a dim and mysterious atmosphere.
MODELLING & RIGGING
I made models and rigged them in Maya. I made textures in Photoshop and used Zbrush to help rendering normal maps.
ROUGH CUTS & RENDERING
Here are some rough cuts used to test motion and time. I chose Mental Ray as the rendering engine. I conducts rendering tests of different cameras before final batch render.
I used clay and acrylic paints to envision and color these two characters.

Well folks.....this is what some of you have been waiting for. Reports of Large croaker are in the Surf...4# er's !!
Boy, these things look like Rat Reds too. G-town Ship Channel. I usually anchor up on the North side of Pelican Island Bridge when the Tides going out (towards the Yacht Basin). TC Dike may have a few big ones too. Soon as I change out my water/fuel separator...I'm gone. Fresh pan fish for the Winter is nice. Light tackle, small hooks, and it's on. It's warming up outside, so the Flatfish will come later on...

President Medina meets UN reps|
President Danilo Medina hosted a meeting with representatives from several international organizations in his office in the Presidential Palace yesterday, Monday 9 June 2014, mainly to discuss the National Foreigner Legalization Plan. The Presidency reported that the officials expressed satisfaction with the progress made to date and acknowledged it was a major step towards resolving a historical problem.
The Resident Coordinator of the United Nations and the representative for the United Nations Development Program in the country, Lorenzo Jimenez de Luis attended the meeting along with United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) representative Maria Jesus Conde and Cy Winter from the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) representative Sonia Vasquez and her counterpart from the United Nations Refugee Agency, Maria Paz Bermejo were also at the meeting.
Minister of the Presidency Gustavo Montalvo accompanied President Medina.
Speaking to journalists after the meeting, Jimenez de Luis said that they all wanted to help with the National Regularization Plan. Pending still is the publishing of the ruling for the implementation of recently passed Naturalization Law 169-14.
Businesses can transmit FIFA World Cup games|
The National Copyright Office (ONDA) has confirmed that no one can prevent others from tuning in to authorized channels for the transmission of the FIFA World Cup Games. A local company, Pio Deportes has demanded that hotels, bars and restaurants that transmit the games pay for this right.
Today's El Dia, Tuesday 10 June, published an advertisement with the times and days during which Telemicro Channel 5 and Digital Channel 15 will be transmitting the FIFA World Cup Games starting Thursday, 12 June when Brazil opens vs. Croatia at 4pm. The group stage is from 12 June to 26 June. The second stage begins 28 June with quarter-finals scheduled for 4 July, semi-final for 8 July and the final for 13 July.
Legalization process flows but Haitian government slows it down|
In a process in which more than 16,000 foreigners have been interviewed so far, the Foreigner Legalization Plan began in Santo Domingo province yesterday, Monday 9 June, albeit with some technical difficulties that prevented offices from opening in all three of the municipalities n Santo Domingo North and West, and Los Alcarrizos. Provincial Governor Juan Frias and Jenny de la Rocha, head of international affairs for the Ministry of Interior and Police, said they would open later this week in the remaining municipaliteis.
De La Rocha said that the process was slow due to the lack of capacity of the IT system, combined with the time it took to fill in application forms and obtain biometric data.
Applicants who were unable to register were put into groups of 40 and given a day to return later in the week.
Meanwhile, Interior and Police Minister Jose Ramon Fadul said that between Monday 2 and Friday 6 June, some 16,000 foreigners had been interviewed as part of the plan. He called for the Haitian government to help people get their documentation and reminded that anyone who did not register would be sent home.
A headline in El Dia today, Tuesday 10 June, makes the point that the government of Haiti is not cooperating with the plan. As reported, the Haitian consulate is asking Haitians to pay per birth certificate (US$50 first time) and passport (US$70 first time and US$80 renewal) needed for the process. In the Dominican Republic birth certificates are free.
Haitians also need to wait three months for the documents to be issued. Haitians are calling on the government of Haiti reduce the costs and waiting time so they can make the most of the free legal status regularization process offered by the Domincian government. This can mean savings of around US$1,000.
Furthermore, Haitians interviewed at the Haitian consulate said that they were experiencing major difficulties in getting information at the consulate, leading them to resort to "paid experts" to speed up the process.
In contrast, the Dominican authorities are providing all legalization services for free.
Deputy Minister of Interior and Police Washington Gonzalez warned that anyone who takes money to help with the process would be penalized. He said that they were aiming for centers to open in 98% of cities nationwide by next week.
In Santiago, they now have an appointment system due to the large numbers of applicants, and staff numbers have also been increased.
The plan supervisor in Santiago, Amaury Duran said that they have had 400 people per day queuing for the process. Of this total 98% are Haitians and the rest Colombians, Hondurans, Argentineans, Brazilians, and others.
Water problems in Santo Domingo|
The Santo Domingo Aqueducts and Sewers Corporation (CAASD) says that due to the low rainfall levels over the last few weeks, there will be a reduction in water supplies to the Haina-Manoguayabo and Isa Mana and Duey aqueducts that should affect water supply to more than 30 areas of the National District and Santo Domingo province.
CAASD director Alejandro Montas said that the affected areas will be Pueblo Nuevo, Invi, Obras Publicas, Pantoja, Villa Morada, Los Girasoles l and ll, Paraiso, 24 de abril, El Chucho, Savica, Las Mercedes, Los Alcarrizos Viejos, Los Americanos l and ll, Juana Saltitopa, Barrio Landia, El Tamarindo, La Esperanza, La Union, 30 de Mayo, Solimar, Miramar, Costa Azul, Costa Verde, El Pedregal, Mar Caribe, Engombe, Loyola, La Urena and Brisa del Norte.
He said that the water authorities were considering increasing the number of trucks to supply free water so that local residents will not suffer shortages.
The fight to stop charcoal production|
Members of the National Environmental Protection Service (SENPA) and the Dominican Army are preparing a plan in action aimed at stopping the illegal traffic of charcoal across the border with Haiti.
According to Minister Bautista Rojas Gomez this is of great concern to the Ministry of Environment. Charcoal production is a major factor in the rapid deforestation of the area. He said it was not enough to confiscate the charcoal and arrest those involved, but that the people running the major business of charcoal manufacture and supply in the area must also be arrested.
Rojas said that so far this year, the Ministry of Environment had destroyed more than 100 charcoal manufacturing ovens, especially in the wooded areas in the provinces of Barahona, Bahoruco and Independencia.
Calls for border wall to be built|
New deputy Vinicio Castillo Seman has submitted a proposal for the construction of a wall along the border with Haiti to increase migratory control, saying that it is a high priority for the country to control entry and exit to the Dominican Republic.
He warned that the naturalization and legalization process could backfire for the Dominican Republic unless there were strict cross-border controls. He said that Haiti should cooperate by providing documentation to its nationals.
Castillo Seman went on to say that most Haitians would be ineligible for the plan as they cannot demonstrate their ties with this country and Haiti is not providing the documentation that they need in order to legalize their status (birth certificates, passports).
He predicted that the international community would back Haiti when it says the documentation is the Dominican Republic's problem disregarding the mass systematic migration the country faces.
Castillo is new at the Chamber of Deputies. He replaced his brother, Pelegrin Castillo who was named Minister of Energy and Mines.
17 nuisance callers arrested|
According to the Attorney General, Francisco Dominguez Brito, 17 people have been arrested for making prank calls to the 911 System.
He said that the calls had been made by children, most living with their grandparents, but the adults had been arrested and not the children.
He said that in some cases, once they arrived at the homes from which the calls had been made, the adults in the home simply wanted to hit the child as a punishment, but Dominguez Brito said that they still did not know how many would be prosecuted.
He went on to say that the number of nuisance calls had decreased significantly this weekend.

DNCD spokesman Miguel Medina said that the drugs were discovered by a trained dog and that two people have been arrested. They were now looking for others linked to the same network.

The latest victims include 27-year old Yesennia Suero Jimenez, who according to the police was decapitated by her former husband, who then hanged himself. They left behind a six-month old girl.
Later the same day, Yomaira Altagracia de la Cruz, 20, from San Franciso de Macoris was shot in the head by her former husband who was later arrested.
According to relatives, in both cases the women had left their husbands due to domestic violence.
In San Pedro de Macoris, a 23-year old man was arrested on Sunday, 8 June, as a suspect in the death of his girlfriend, Coralis Nolasco, 16, who was found dead just off the jetty in the city.
Transcript in the Adriano Roman and Jordi Veras case|
Diario Libre publishes a second part of the full transcript of the taped conversation between Franklin Reynoso, accused of shooting at TV news commentator Jordi Veras, and Adriano Roman, allegedly the mastermind behind the attempted murder.

Reyes was the first to announced she had been released after making a 55,000-pound payment, as the family reported once she had flown to the UK. Her parents Jeannette and Mike Clements ran an aggressive media campaign for her release.
The Dominican authorities have not been clear about the nature of the payment, reported in the media as 'bail' as she had already been sentenced to 12 years in jail in Puerto Plata. There has been no explanation as to why a woman sentenced to jail for murder was allowed to leave the country.

This is Takao's blog. I am studying Athetic Training at University of South Florida. New entry comes out everyday(hopefully). Am I ever going to have the day when I have a good command of English just like native- speakers? Hope the day will come to me....
I went to register to make sure whether they already sent my transcript to the grad school which I want to get into.
That ("that" is OK??) is because a staff at the admission of the grad school sent me an e-mail and it said they haven't received my transcript yet. I requested them two weeks ago, so I wondered why it has not been there.
And I figured out why it hadn’t reached there. That was because I had some holds, which means there were some problems with my school registration statue and it had prevented register officers from preceding my request stuff forward.(Is OK?)
I had two holds to override immediately. One was in International Admission and the other was the Casher stuff.
I went to check my statue there and they told me they need official TOEFL score. Actually, I already passed the criteria needed to get into Undergraduate level. But Problem was that I hadn't requested ETS(Institute taking care of TOEFL exam) to send an official score to the admission of USF. Since I had known that there was not enough time to wait until ETS send the official score because that procedure typically takes more than two weeks and it will be already after deadline of application for grad school(IS ok? " it will already after the deadline of application" and other parts?).
So I asked them if they could override my hold(is natural to say "though I didn't expect anything" here?), and fortunately they did. Thanks!!!
The other thing I have to take care of was casher stuff. This problem was simple. I had a hold here just because that I had not paid my tuition by the time I went to Casher office to check my statue. Actually, I had been waiting until my scholarship was coming into an account for my balance.(OK? I got confused) .
After finishing these problems, they finally promised me to put the transcript in the mailbox in the early morning tomorrow.
At the same time, through today's events, I realized some growing feeling about my English(is natural to say "growing feeling"? sence of growing?). It means that if I was old self, I wouldn't have solved these problem that fast (this quick??). It must have taken more time going around many places or asking people for help. Actually, I could communicate smoothly with all person who I met today without any problem. I guess I might be getting better in speaking.
I feel good for some reason. Ha-ha. I will sleep a lot today to regain my energy to study!!
Katie I am sorry I have tons of questions on this blog and last one.(other than sentences which I highlighted. SOOOOOO many...) Ha-ha. If you don't have time, don't worry. Please correct my writing only when you have time. Thanks always.
Japanse 元気？(GENKI) how are you? 元気にしてた？(GENKI-ni shiteta?) How have you been. 久しぶり（HISASHIBURI） long time no see!

When we think of smartphones, generally we think of devices like the iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S4. But as a growing number of companies, including Google and Apple, have realized, smartphones are also excellent tools for creating personal online content.We’re used to seeing almost every smartphone out there carrying some kind of video application. Whether it’s live streaming live sports events or taking family photos and sharing them with friends on Facebook Live, there is an entire industry dedicated to creating media experiences that are exciting, engaging and memorable. Check out the top 5 smart phone apps for making the most of your new smartphone:
RAM: 8GB, 12GB
When it comes to creating media experiences, we’ve always loved the idea of carrying a massive pile of music, videos and photos on our person. The Old Iphone with a whopping 8GB of storage could do with a little refresher, but most of us have enough room left over for our media, groceries and other daily needs.The good news is that you can still get this smartphone with a huge 128GB of memory, which is double what you get with the smaller options. As a bonus, you can use that extra space to house your wedding photos or other cherished memories.
Storage: 128GB, 256GB
Black owners of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will be happy to know that the new phone comes with a whopping 128GB of storage. This is the largest storage space available on a Smartphone and it’s ideal for storing all your favorite photos, videos and more.
Battery: 4800 mAh
This is the ultimate battery life phone and it comes with a huge battery that can easily last you for continuous use for up to 8 hours. What’s more, it costs just $URESEK.00 (around $75) and you can get it shipped to your home country.
Camera: 50MP + 13MP + 50MP
We love video and photo experiences but the beauty of these three apps is that you can still create a decent light show when you want to show off your home or business. While the photo app is still the best, you can also use the new Video Camera app to shoot and upload high-res videos.
If you’re looking for a fun, Instagram-like experience, then the Selfie lens is the phone for you. It lets you shoot low-res photos and videos that you can publish to Facebook and Instagram. This feature is only available in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and it works exactly as designed.
Display: 6.55 inch
We love the big screen on a Smartphone but it’s not the only thing. That distinction goes to the screen itself. The display on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is 6.55“, the largest display ever seen on a Smartphone. It’s the ideal size to show off your home or business and can take excellent low-res photos and videos.
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G
The built-in network on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is Android’s fastest, which comes in handy when you’re looking to feed the entire house. It’s great to have access to all your favorite apps and games on the same platform and you can streamline the process by connecting your device to a modem or router that supports 5G.
Connectivity: Dual sim, 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi
If you want more than one connection on your Smartphone, you can expand its functionality with the added feature of Dual SIMs. This feature lets two users interact with each other on the same network and helps to ensure a smooth experience across both devices.
Colors: Black and White
This is the ideal time to buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and we recommend that you do so rightaway. You need to plan ahead because these colors are limited and you can only choose which ones you want to pick out when you order the phone. While you can choose the standard black color, you can also go with the white option to make room for other accessories and make the most of the light on the grounds.
OS: Android 12, ColorOS 12.1
Who said you need an update every year to keep up with the latest trends? We guess not, but you do in fact, and that’s why you need to buy the latest Android phone every year. While the latest version of Android is great for playing games and checking out the latest features, it’s also the perfect platform for using your phone as a TV, radio, or other device that will require constant connectivity.

Okay, for those who are "waiting on it," nevermind (laugh). Here is what got me, the writer, excited. It was a job search for a head blog writer sponsored by that talented singer/songwriter Alicia Keys! All that it required was just a bit over the top for me and/or my lifestyle. So as soon as I read about, it was not a hard thought process for me to say that as great as it sounded, it was not what I wanted. Oh well. I'm just being realistic. It's a GREAT opportunity for someone looking for a career. At this stage in my life I'm not. I'm leaning more (no doubt just as unrealistically), looking for Trump to send me a check (for whatever reason), or Oprah to give me her blessings or midas touch (say on some handknitted item she sees on me in the street, absolutely loves, has to have, and brings me on her show to share--then comes the zillions of orders ala her bookclub, etc.,), or . . . well you get the picture. Now if someone wanted me to write for them, from home, no travel, pay me big bucks, well I'm okay with that. At this point don't want to travel too far out of my comfort zone for big rewards (laugh). So I'll keep looking. And will hold on to a bit of the fantasy. At least until Oprah ends her show this year, and probably her residency in the Windy City which will rule out ANY bumping into her and her seeing that knitted piece she just has to have, and . . . oops, the helium is taking me away from earth again!

I've been trying to work my way back to my blog. I was a reluctant blogger in the first place, then got excited/addicted to blogging only to have some major "Look Gran'Ma" moments interrupt my flow. But saw a report on Good Morning America that inspired me (not necessarily to blog) to get back to and using my blog to try for something. My blog would, I figure, be a wonderful part of the complete package to via for this "something." I will share it in detail later! So wait on it (laugh). I will be back. Got to take care of some "Look Gran'Ma" stuff. My blog name, Look Gran'Ma, alludes to those things big or small, good or not so good, etc., that tends to interrupt my life or more specifically that Me Time. But in all those interruptions, I know they are a part of life, wanted and unwanted. And those unwanted moments are a time for me to become one with my beliefs about being there for others (especially for family), being there with a willingness of heart and a smile on my face. Love You All

OS: Windows 8
1) I have removed over 300 virus from the PC with Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool but the system is still a lot infected.
2) ESET SysRescue Live removed additional virus but the system is still a lot infected.
3) Malwarebytes Anti-Malware give an error and cannot be installed, problem probably caused by the virus.
4) Running ComboFix say that it cannot run on Windows 2000 (but it is Windows 8).
Is it possible to fix it so the OS detection isn't fooled by viruses?
PS: The virus blocked registry editing, both the regedit and CCleaner fail to edit registry (the permissions are OK but it still fails).
PS: Creating a new user fail, probably related to registry.

Meet Sparkle the mermaid who loves Manatees.
For centuries tales have been told of mythical Mermaids. Pirates and sailors reported instantly falling in love with the beautiful golden haired sirens. People who felt the need to discredit such “crazy” stories rudely scoffed. Their argument was that in every case, a gentle shy Manatee was mistaken for the glittering mermaids of legend.
True believers just roll their eyes – wouldn’t a grey lumpy whiskered Manatee and a golden haired Mermaid be pretty hard to confuse?
The truth is Simple. Mermaids care for Manatees and they swim together often. So if you see one…you just might be lucky enough to glimpse the other.
I’m currently working on a 12 Book series called Alligator Alley
The Everglades is one of the most unique environments on the planet and a place of wonders. Ground waters released from aquifers sustain thousands of eco-systems. They ripple through places with romantic names – Everglade City, Paradise Key, Flamingo, Shark Valley, the Gumbo Limbo Trail, Florida Bay and Ten Thousand islands. The Everglades is the largest bird sanctuary in the world. Over 700 species of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles find shelter there. It’s the stuff of legend and home to a cast of extremely colorful characters. You’ll be introduced to Gators asleep in their Gator holes, bright pink Spoonbills, the Florida Manatee, Cuban Tree Frogs, Panthers and Mermaids. This is a work of Heart.

Animals are totally my thing. I have been working with them for 12 years now. I got into them working at a little mom and pop store in Virginia where I met a puppy named Bruno. He was this cute little boxer that his parents complained of aggression issue with kids and people who talk with their hands. Then I was just basically an apprentice and the trainer was showing the parents how to correct him for the aggressive behavior. I watched and saw how Bruno learned to growl less but kept wanting to bite if you got too close. That's what brought me to my passion for the body language of animals. I had noticed that before he would snap or even growl he would do some of the same behavior over and over again.
When I brought this to the parent’s attention and asked if they mind if I tried something else they said okay and thus I start rewarding those little behaviors that he was doing instead. Slowly but surely it worked. As I have come to find out there was so much more knowledge out there on the subject of body language of animals.
It is my strong held belief that if we as humans would take the time to learn about their body language the dog bite numbers would go down. There is so much more to dogs then barking and growling and snapping that tell you they are upset. Most dogs are "aggressive" out of fear not out of being alpha (which was disproven by the very scientist who came up with the term). So what are those missed cues that your dog needs space? Licking their nose/lips, turning their head away, raising their paw, ground sniffing an area they already know, or even all of a sudden having an uncontrollable itch are a few conscious choices your dog is making to ask for space. They also do subconscious behaviors that you can pick up like hyper-salivation, excess shedding, sweaty paws, and pupil dilation just to name a few. If we show the dogs that doing those behaviors get results we can stop the bite before it happens.
If people learned to read all of these steps for what they are and not punish the ones they don't like out of them the dogs wouldn't feel the need to jump all the way to biting. And when I say punish I don't just mean yelling, hitting or whatever. It can be a punishment just to not get the solution you wanted. For example, if you get poor service at and you complain to the store manager and that doesn't make your next experience better what do you do? You might complain again or you might go above his head. If going above his head works, why would you start at complaining to the manager at the next place? All animals do what works.
I have been an Area Trainer for PetSmart as well as just giving away free training before that. I received my CCPDT certification in 2014. Today I run Horns to Halos Dog Training, L.L.C. (Hornstohalosdogtraining.com). I just formally founded it last year. I specialize in working with dogs that don't like other animals or humans. I try to spread the word about this unspoken language with people and it is the greatest compliment when I see my students passing that knowledge on to friends and family.

“I wanted my face painted like two different people. One side is my wishes for who I want to feel like, my dreams and my hopes. This other side of me is loosing hope and feels dirty. I feel like two different people.” -Khosi
In townships like Khayelitsha and Gugulethu where the women served by Embrace Dignity live, poverty is rampant, alcoholism is high, jobs are scarce. There is no running water, and no way to support children. Xhosa women are the backbone of their communities and the primary income-earners for households. Often they must resort to sex work to feed themselves, to sustain their families as single mothers, or to support unreliable partners in an effort to keep families together. Rape is common before the age of 13 and often overlooked by the young girls’ families in the face of ineffective and chauvinistic law enforcement, and the pressures of survival.
As part of the project each woman shared and described a person, moment or place that has defined her life. We then collaborated to choose a location and gesture to create a portrait that represented her identity or internal experiences. I then interviewed each woman about the portrait making process and asked her to describe the meaning as she looked at the image.
“I wanted this photo taken here in my office because I want people to feel my story. You see the condoms everywhere and plastic to lay on. I have almost been stabbed to death in this spot. After sex, he took out his knife and began to stab me. I am only alive because one man came from his car and picked up a stone to beat his head, that is how I survived. It is here that I can really think about and feel my reality.” -Mandy
“This photo makes me happy. I like to share my problems with my babies so they know about life. I make my babies strong. Even if I have stress it helps me to tell them and they come to me with their problems. I know they will never go to the road because I tell them what happens there.” -Nosipiwo
The result is a series of images in which the women challenge the label “prostitute” and ultimately discard it. Threaded through each woman’s life are stories of forced dualities: prostitute and mother, prostitute and wife, prostitute and daughter. To me the world is a dichotomy of beauty and pain, and I have never experienced that more than with these ten incredible women. Individually, these photos tell unique stories; however, overlapping commonalities create a narrative of survival and solidarity. The story shown through these portraits is dynamic and identifiable for all women that have loved, lost, and discovered the depth of their own strength through struggle.

A Danish newspaper is reportedly threatening to sue Apple over the iPhone maker's refusal to allow photos of topless women to appear on the iTunes App Store.
Apple is unlikely to approve the Ekstra Bladet iPhone app unless the paper removes the sight of the "offensive content," namely nipples.
"I think it's madness. [Photo of the lady] is not pornographic or offensive in any way Page 9-girl is a part of Ekstra Bladet soul," said Ekstra Bladet editor Poul Madsen.
HyperOm adds, the newspaper editor has promised to go to the European Court to fight this "backdoor censorship," threatening the row could end with Apple in court.
The Danes are not alone in feeling rejected by Apple. Earlier this year The Guardian reported Germany's Stern magazine had it iPhone app pulled because it ran topless photo spreads, while the newspaper Bild was forced to add bikini tops to its topless models.
Previously Apple's CEO Steve Jobs has promised a "freedom from porn" policy for the iTunes App Store, suggesting customers buy an Android phone if they wanted to view sexually explicit content.
"You know, there's a porn store for Android [phones using Google's software]. You can download porn, your kids can download porn. That's a place we don't want to go - so we're not going to go there," Jobs said.
This story, "Danish newspaper threatens Apple over rejection of app with topless women" was originally published by Macworld U.K..

I really like OSSEC, the open-source intrusion detection system, and deploy it wherever I'm working. Not only is it great from a security point of view (detecting brute force attacks, crawlers, XSS injection attempts, bad permissions on files, modificatons to files, notification of installed/removed packages, presence of rootkits etc etc), but it's also really good at exposing the general state of things on your infrastructure that might otherwise go unnoticed (even if they're logged). Such examples are network issues e.g LDAP or NRPE traffic issues between your machines, or third parties such as PEAR or APT providers and so on, as well as segfaults, PHP fatal errors that are logged in syslog (surely those are picked up before deployment to production, right? RIGHT?) and much more.
What's more, it's highly customisable through its use of 'decoders' and rulesets, and in fact, there is a contributed decoder/set of rules for Drupal that were written by Justin C Klein Keane. You can find them here.
I find the decoder and its rules to work pretty much out of the box. A couple of them I add to the active-response configuration, so that certain rule IDs that are triggered warrant an automatic block against the source IP address.
There is just one change that I at first thought of making to the decoder, and that is that I tend to define custom 'identities' for each Drupal site in its Drupal Syslog settings, so that I can more easily filter my logs for messages from specific sites. The default is 'drupal', which is not too descriptive, and Justin's decoder is explicitly coded to only match on that program_name.
Having set up different syslog identifiers in Drupal (or 'program_name' as defined in OSSEC), I was wondering why my logs weren't being decoded properly and thus not triggering rules as expected. This was the reason.
Trying to decide how to solve the problem, I realised the program_name attribute is a regex, so I defined mine with 'OR' pipes like this:
.. before it finally occurred to me that this was too awkward to maintain. Instead, I have opted to prefix each of my syslog identities in each Drupal site with:
drupal-<short site name>
This way the original regex still stands because it begins with 'drupal', and now the decoder works and rules triggered properly. Simple!
One other thing I will point out (not covered in Justin's post, possibly because it wasn't possible in OSSEC back when he wrote it) is that you can store your custom decoder in /var/ossec/etc/local_decoder.xml (instead of /var/ossec/etc/decoder.xml, which may get overwritten on upgrades), in the same way that you can store custom rules in /var/ossec/rules/local_rules.xml.

White Marble PLA Filament - Order premium 3D filament from Canadian Filaments. Buy PLA 3D printer from the first and only retailer of coloured filament in Edmonton Alberta Canada.
This resin is derived from corn and is biodegradable. The filament is 1.75mm in diameter and is sold in 1kg spools.
This is a bright white-based filament with black specks which imitates a marbled look.
Super fast delivery! They delivered the next day, since I am in the edmonton area. The filament looks great and so far has printed great too!
We chose to tackle some of the greatest flaws we found in the business after 6 years of working with 3D printing. These problems included needless plastic waste from plastic spools, low quality filaments on the market, and the carbon footprint of shipping thousands of kilograms of filament from China to Canada. Our solution to these issues was to become Alberta's first 3D printing filament manufacturer, as well as the first to offer cardboard spools to support industry sustainability.READ MORE

Organization was my word for yesterday. I had to open up that hallway linen closet and get it organized. That is one of those closets where I open the door quickly and toss whatever I have in my hand and close the door hurriedly, so that what I threw in doesn't fall out.

Why There Are Still Some Lithium-ion Batteries That Explode Up to Today?
Browse Time : 9271 2017-12-05 00:00:00
There might be a battery explosion when internal electrical parts short-circuit, when mechanical issues occur after a fall or an accident, or when they is installation error. All of these failures happen when one side of the battery is heated up and cannot lower down the high temperature fast enough, creating a continuous reaction that generates more and more heat. This kind of snowball process is usually termed as thermal runaway.
The process can occur in just milliseconds. This has attracted much attention from the press. But it turns out that not all batteries are equally likely to fail. Any energy storage device carries a risk, as demonstrated in the latest moment on 15th March 2017, involving a pair of headphones exploding on a plane. Many batteries come along with a safety risk, and battery manufacturers are supposed to meet safety requirements.
Even though Lithium-ion batteries are safe, there are millions of customers using then so failures are bound to occur. A one-in-200,000 mechanical failure that happened in 2006 caused a recall of close to six million lithium-ion packs (Battery University).
Specialists of the lithium-ion batteries comment that on rare occasion microscopic metal particles may touch with other parts of the battery cell, causing a short circuit with in the cell.
So why do people and businesses still use them? Lithium-ion batteries are super-efficient. They keep large capacity of energy in a small space and can keep electronic gadgets working for a long time. Li-ion power cells are also ranked highly in technology. The earliest rechargeable lithium-ion batteries were made for Handy-cams 25 years ago, and now there are many battery suppliers around the globe.
But unlike most advanced technologies, they get volatile with time. This is mainly due to the fact that we want higher-capacitydable batteries in small packages at affor prices. The symptoms may be the similar as they explode but a lot of other factors might be contributing to lithium-ion’s explosions. These include;
With all these exploding batteries, the first diagnosis is something must be wrong with the ways the battery is manufactured. Many people might think like that, but Samsung Note 7 issue illustrates that pinpointing the key flaw is not very easy. The initial recall involved devices that had batteries made by Samsung, the ones that did not have enough room between the battery's protective pouch and electrodes. The squeeze tilted the electrodes in some batteries, leading them to short-circuit. But once the devices were recalled, replacing them with safer batteries from another firm had different issues. Many were not wrapped well, while others had ragged edges inside that caused damage to the main separator. That also caused short circuiting, but for entirely different reasons.
Even if a device is designed well, continuous dropping and subjecting it to long-term wear and tear can cause damage to the volatile energy source. The best way to tell if your battery is damaged is if it looks all swollen—evidence that the chemicals inside the battery are producing too much gas. That swelling also creates its own stress with the battery housing, which could result to a rupture. Unfortunately, a lot of devices today have a sealed-in battery, and taking the device apart to inspect it involves nullifying the warranty. If the external package of any device appears to be pushing apart or feels abnormally hot to the touch, it’s best to be careful and bring it in for inspection.
Battery Design Flow
Most of today’s devices are designed to be as slim, light, and sleek as possible in order to go with the trend. That can cause stress on an otherwise well-built battery, especially a high-capacity cell packed into a tiny body. Pressure from the hardware surrounding the battery can lead to damage to the electrodes and lead to short circuiting. Insufficient venting or thermal management can lead the flammable electrolyte inside the battery to heat up. Once it gets hot, chemical reactions can cause it to heat up even more and spiral out of control. It's a situation called thermal runaway that often ends in an explosion or fire.
Industry Pressure and Competition
Companies make billions of profits when they save a small amount on each battery. As a result, many lithium-ion battery manufacturers do shortcuts in order to price their cells at affordable prices. The materials may not meet the required quality, causing damage in the already-thin separator. This situation was likely a major cause of the hoverboard fires: The first models on the market were expensive, and their popularity bred knockoffs with cheap prices and even cheaper internals. Crowd funding and low-priced components have democratized the consumer-electronics industry, but savings often come at the expense of safety.
Even though exploding batteries sound scary, they're actually quite rare. EEMB is committed to supply safer lithium batteries to its customers by using LiFePO4 cells in a variety of applications. LiFePO4 is a more stable and safer cathode material.
EEMB offers LiFePO4 batteries for diverse applications: portable power station, home battery storage, electric vehicles. Besides having safety advantages, LiFePO4 battery is lighter, store more energy, and last longer than many other lithium batteries. The EEMB portable power generator Gusto commercialized under the brand is convenient to carry around and offer sufficient power supply for emergencies. For electric vehicles EEMB has developed suitable LiFePO4 batteries for wheelchairs, electric bikes, and golf carts. These can run longer and faster than their counterparts that contain lead acid battery. For ESS applications EEMB has three power monsters designed with a LiFePO4 battery. Smart Hybrid UPS is a 10-kWh energy storage system, Smart Mini is a set of scalable batteries combined with a UPS kit and, Smart EZ is a 5-kWh residential energy system. These are money savers because they lower your electricity bill and optimize your investment.

3D Metal Printing: When To Use It And Design Pitfalls
Santa Clara Convention Center, CA, USA
Grand Ballroom D
17:40 - 18:00
There are many misconceptions that have developed around 3D metal printing, leading to designers trying to use it as a rescue for bad designs - this simply won't work. 3D metal printing is much more complicated than 3D plastic printing and other design processes, requiring a different set of skills and deeper understanding of the process. Understanding the nuances of this technology is essential to creating a design that won't fail during the build process.
The first step is knowing when 3D metal printing is the correct design process. 3D metal printing is well suited for the creation of parts that have complex geometries that are unachievable by other processes. 3D metal printing is also ideal for lightweight and high-strength parts. However, it is important to note that if a design can be CNC machined, it probably should. CNC machining still has advantages in speed and cost.
Next the session will share practical design, such as limitations on walls, gaps and holes, when to implement bridges and overhangs, and more. Zakary will provide you with the necessary tools to identify if 3D metal printing is right for creating the part they are designing for and common design mistakes to avoid.

Freshers Week at the University of Exeter
But first, what is Freshers Week? It is essentially the equivalent of our orientation week, or move in week in the States.
The University of Exeter
Our first week at Uni was Freshers Week and boy oh boy was it a week.
One word and one word only comes to mind when I think of the University of Exeter‘s campus. No that word is not beautiful (though it absolutely is). HILLS. There are bloody hills all over this city and this campus.
I swear the people that decided to put a University at the top of a massive hill are sitting here laughing at me as I pant and sweat making my way to the Forum (one of the main buildings on campus). For a side note, I have terrible eating habits, I mainly survive on carbs, and I avoid exercise like the plague. After a month at Exeter and maintaining these same oh so healthy dietary habits my jeans are now one size too large. The saying “look on the bright side” comes to mind now.
I swear the hills are much steeper than they appear in the photo below, all those people that look like they’re strolling are definitely struggling as well – or at least that’s what I tell myself.
Freshers Week Societies
Now back to Freshers Week. Keep in mind students here only go to university for 3 years (unless they are doing a language major and must do a gap year abroad). Automatically I’m older than the average final year student. Participating in a week dedicated to Freshers (first years students) the age gap really struck out to me. However this feeling was not enough to dissuade me from joining in on the activities. There was way too much free stuff for me to pass up – that just screams Michelle. James hates me for dragging him to things just because it’s free, yet somehow I find everything always manages to work out.
Jocelyn, Donald, James and I attended a FREE rock climbing trip in this beautiful national park called Dartmoor hosted by the Climbing Society. While on this trip I met Beatrice, and Filippa who were also on an exchange program but they were from Sweden. Both were in my Money and Banking lecture and I ended up becoming good friends with them by the end of our semester abroad.
PRO TIP: Beware the massive cow patties strewn around everywhere and do NOT pet the wild horses as I did. They have fleas or something, and they bite and it itches for days.
Whilst rock climbing was fun I decided one climb was enough for me. Not sure I’m too keen on dangling in the air on the face of a rock. James, far braver than I did all the routes offered to us, and ended up cutting his hand while doing the hardest route. I definitely suggest bringing gloves or chalk or something. The view, though, at the top of the rock was worth the climb.
Cocktail Society Pub Crawl
Another activity that I dragged James to that he nonetheless enjoyed was a pub crawl hosted by the Cocktail Society. Jocelyn mentioned she was attending so we obviously went with her, even if we weren’t planning to spend money on drink we could still go out and socialize. Basically, we met some pretty cool English freshers and enjoyed the atmosphere at Gandy’s and there were free drinks – score. My life philosophy is if it’s free, why not?
Slow Food Society
Lastly, my favorite bit of Freshers Week was the food. There’s a society on campus dedicated to eating. You don’t need to ask twice if I joined. Slow food society was kind enough to host a buffet at Oddfellows. Obviously, James and I were in attendance. The spread was great, potatoes, salad, crackers with fancy cheese and petit four style brownies yum.
We also participated in an event at the Old Firehouse hosted by Forensics Society where we feasted on free pizza and cider (a must at the Old Firehouse). We met some really cool people and learned a lot about Forensics society – so we signed up.
Chaplaincy and Jewish Society
We also attended a bagel breakfast by the Jewish Society – cream cheese and cucumber bagels, and a lunch buffet hosted by the Chaplaincy society. Somehow I don’t have any photos of the great food we ate all week long (apologies). Motivated by food to go to these events worked really well because we ended up meeting people from all over the world and learned about groups I otherwise would have never participated in.
Freshers Week Fair
To cap off Freshers Week we attended the student fair hosted on Saturday. At the fair students officially joined societies and tons and tons of freebies were given out. Dominoes gave out free pizza slices, Wilko gave a shopping bag, filled with goodies. A wooden spoon, laundry detergent, razor, bottle opener! Morrisons gave out cupcakes and a bag of spaghetti, a free burger voucher from Walkabout, and 2 free movie tickets with popcorn. We also got 4 t-shirts. For future students attending Freshers Week next year…even if you don’t join societies, go to the fair for the freebies.
Total Cost: FREE
*Well technically £10 ea. since we joined two societies…

This is my first ever Sinful Colors polish. These are sold at Walgreens for $1.99. I was attracted to this color because I have been loving the pastel pinks for Spring. Easy Going is a white based pink that can definitely look white from a distance. The formula was thick and streaky, needing three coats for opacity. However, it wore like iron, lasting 7 full days before chipping! This is with CND Stickey base coat and Diamond Dry top coat. I am still on the hunt for the perfect pastel pink that doesn't have a crappy formula.
