Yes, this is going a little deep.
A few weeks ago when I was running the Hot Chocolate 15k, I spent half the race wishing I had worn something that indicated "Hey, I'm slow because I just had a baby!" It got me thinking...why do I feel the need to justify my slowness?
I'm the biggest cheerleader when it comes to people starting their fitness, weight loss, or running journeys. I love new clients in my business. I love January, when my classes at the gym are packed with bright-eyed participants ready to take on their resolutions. Somehow, though, when it comes to me, I don't allow myself to be cheered on when I'm not at my best.
I mean, really, what does THAT even mean? It's not like I've always beat me previous time when running a race. In fact, I held onto my half marathon and marathon PRs for YEARS before I was able to beat them. It's not like I never gain and lose, gain and lose, and gain and lose weight again. Fitness and running, like everything else, is a journey, not a one-way street.
My confidence has been in the toilet since having Robby. Why? In some ways I feel like I'm letting everyone down. People who thought I'd just bounce right back after giving birth. All those moms who preached about breastfeeding and how that would just melt the weight off. Clients, readers, everyone. I know I'm putting this pressure on myself, but I can't help but feel like I somehow failed at leading by example.
This is the part of the blog where I'm supposed to promise to change or something, right? Well, I'm just not there yet. I'm trying. A little. But not really that much. I try to workout, but I'm exhausted. I try to eat right, but cookies are so good. I try to stay motivated, but sometimes it's easier not to be.
So when you see me and my loose belly is flopping around while I attempt to run, please just be kind. I don't know the right words, but just know that I realize that my pants are too tight, my back is flabby over the top of my bra, and I have a long way to go. I could lie and say that today I'm going to change, but let's just see how tomorrow goes. Maybe if it goes okay, then I can work on the next day. Until then, I'm going to avoid mirrors and scales. | 46723481 |

Realme U1 Hands-on Review: Selfie Camera, Processor Steals The Show!
Launched on 5th December, Realme U1 is set to make its mark with a Helio P70 processor!
After the grand success of Realme 1, Realme 2, Realme 2 Pro, Realme C1, now set to win over the market is Realme U1, the latest smartphone of Realme U series.
Shiny, sleek back made of composite material with 13 layers of coating reflects nicely in the light. This lightweight phone will fit perfectly in your hand even if it has no curves.
The display is 6.3 inches with an 83.9% screen to body ratio and a dewdrop notch on top. The side bezels and chin are ultra narrow thus giving a wide display. The screen is 6.3 inches of Gorilla glass 3, complete with a gorgeous FHD+ (full high definition plus) resolution.
There is a speaker grill, 3.5 mm microphone jack and a micro USB charging slot at the bottom panel with absolutely nothing on the top panel of the phone. There is a power button on the right panel and volume keys on the left and a dedicated SD card slot that makes everything easier.
Realme U1 is the very first smartphone which employs the P70 processor with Color OS 5.2. The battery of 3500 mAh, with some great battery optimization features, runs pretty good – almost a day, when subjected to high or moderate usage.
The phone features a regular amount of sensors as expected from a mid-range phone. Smooth functioning sensors are present such as gyroscope, light, accelerometer, magnetometer. The security features like fingerprint and face unlock speed function well without transition.
On running an AnTuTu test, we found a score of 144,468: This is much better than both Snapdragon 636 and 660, and it’s safe to say the phone’s performance is better than any other phone in its price range.
The rear camera being 13+2 MP, Realme U1 flaunts a selfie camera of a phenomenal 25 MP Sony flagship IMX 576 which is truly above par!
The camera clicks great pictures of outstanding quality, each one carrying the potential to be your next Facebook or Whatsapp display picture!
The camera is inclusive of various other features: Bokeh mode, HDR mode, AI scene detection, Panorama, slo-mo video shooting.
Coming to the sound and visual qualities of the phone..
The audio quality is quite ok on speakers but works wonderfully with headsets. The video, on the other hand is abundantly clear, and the notch on the phone won’t obstruct your view.
The GPU is at par, you can play all your favorite games quite smoothly. PUBG, at a low setting, plays quite fluently, while the medium settings may show a bit of lag.
4GB RAM/ 64GB inbuilt storage model priced at Rs 14,499.
Overall, the phone is fantastic with high-end features and is the best among other phones in the same price range. If your budget is below Rs 15,000, Realme U1 is one of the finest smartphones right now.

A few weeks ago the PC running the DJ software for the Atlantic Sound Factory lost a power supply. Luckily I had another power supply in the house and was able to get the station back online in about an hour.
The station is running on borrowed time. All the equipment is starting to show its age. There’s a Windows server in the basement that houses the database and dynamic website content. It’s a Dell Poweredge SC430 and it’s almost 7 years old.
Two floors above in the studio, a second Dell Poweredge SC430 runs the station’s DJ software. It, too, is 7 years old.
Besides the fact that the hard drives, main board and power supplies are 7 years old, the machines are separated by two floors, they are big, power hungry and heavy. Let’s just say that, in case of fire, I would not be putting them under my arms as I run from the building.
So it’s time to upgrade. For my daytime job, I’ve spent the past 11 months developing on a Mac Mini, running VMWare Fusion and Windows 8.1 and the platform has been very solid. The Mac Mini consumes about as much power as a 60W light bulb.
8 days ago I took delivery of another Mac Mini, an i7 quad core with a 1TB hard drive, and I bumped it to 16GB RAM. Last weekend, in what was a somewhat brutal journey, I virtualized the station’s server, installed the DJ software, put them on the new Mac, and for the past week I’ve been putting the new hardware through its paces. At the time of this writing, the two Dell systems are still powering the station but the Mac Mini has been running a clone copy of all the station systems in parallel test mode. So far, so good.
Within the next few days, assuming the new system remains stable, I’ll make the switch and move operation to the new Mac. The little Mini with VMWare and Windows will be the new system behind ASF Radio. The Dells will be retired, my electric bill should drop, and in case of fire I might actually be able to tuck it into my sweater on the way out the door.
In the evenings, I’ve been busy working on a website upgrade as well. The new website will look quite different (I’m ditching the dark theme) but it will, for the first time, handle all web traffic for mobile, tablet and PCs in one set of code thanks to the conversion to responsive design. I’ll be putting the finishing touches on it this weekend and can’t wait for all of you to see it. It will roll out with the new hardware in the next few days. | 117334601 |

This miniature quilt was created for the Queenstown Symposium miniature section.
One judge said they liked the way the vine 'molested' the bias edge?
The desire behind this was to create something joyful and exuberant, (musical) using both piecing and hand appliqué methods.
When quilts are designed with a emotion or passion behind them, it shows.
Tiny mariner compass star sections are in each corner, and roses, hearts and the little purple dot flowers frame the little lone star pattern. The quilt is just over 13 inches square. | 108172260 |

Problems with sleeping are common and make life difficult for the individual who is affected and for those around them. Sleep difficulties are particularly prevalent amongst people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and often cause or worsen other difficulties. This comprehensive guide to the management of sleep problems, introduces all the proven remedies and focuses on the problems commonly found in ASDs and related conditions. The author discusses sleep in depth, including how we currently define and understand it. The full spectrum of sleep disorders is explained alongside the range of possible treatment approaches. The book also examines why some sleep problems are more common among people with an ASD than others, how sleep problems evolve over time, what can be done to treat them and the likely benefits from different treatments. This book is a complete resource for professionals, families and carers working with those suffering from sleep problems of any kind. It will be of great interest to anyone wanting to gain a thorough understanding of sleep in relation to ASDs.
Searching for the right school for a child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) opens up a huge and complicated world, and it can be difficult to know where to begin. What should you look out for in a school? What questions should you ask? How do you choose between different educational approaches and programmes? This accessible guide cuts through the jargon surrounding special educational needs (SEN), and walks parents and professionals through the entire journey of securing appropriate educational provision for a child with ASD. The author explains the implications of having, or not having, a diagnosis, how to obtain a Statement of SEN, how to find and secure an appropriate school, and how to work effectively with outside agencies. She provides clear explanations of the legal aspects of the process, including SEN law, the SEN code of practice and the new guidelines for SEND tribunals. Recognising that mainstream schooling is not the best option in every case, she also shows that independent schools and home-schooling can be viable options in some cases. A multitude of useful resources, websites and sources of further information are also included. Whether you are the parent or carer of a child with ASD, or a professional working with autism, the ideas and information in this book will steer you through the complex maze of issues surrounding how to secure effective educational environments for children with ASD.
Video modeling takes visual learning to the next level by using new technologies to create an effective teaching tool. This book explains how professionals and parents can use innovative video modeling techniques to support the development of young children with autism spectrum disorders in school, home or community settings. Offering practical step-by-step guidance, the book shows how to film and edit personalized videos that highlight the exact skill that is being taught. Whether the focus is increasing attention, peer interaction, getting dressed or creative play, these videos are easy to incorporate into daily routines. They allow the child to learn new skills quickly and with less hands-on adult support leading to greater independence. Three video modeling strategies are presented – Basic Video Modeling, Video Self-Modeling and Point-of-view Video Modeling – along with all the information needed for readers to start using the techniques for themselves. The research behind the approach is also discussed and each chapter includes detailed case studies that demonstrate the techniques in action.
Addressing the often hidden, yet not uncommon, behaviour of faecal smearing among children and adults with autism and developmental and intellectual disabilities, this practical handbook shows how to tackle this often embarrassing and difficult issue in a positive way. Informing parents and caregivers of the many causes of smearing, the author offers tried-and-tested, everyday approaches for managing this behaviour. This supportive guidebook includes down-to-earth advice, helpful picture narratives, examples of how to prepare and use diary sheets for behaviour analysis, and practical exercises that can be carried out at home. There is also advice on what to do if a child ingests faeces, and dealing with persistent or recurring smearing. With a focus on positive low-arousal responses and featuring the voices of parents who have experience of their child's smearing, families will feel supported and confident in identifying the causes of smearing, and be able to choose and carry out appropriate preventative approaches. This will also be a useful resource for professionals who encounter smearing behaviour, including social workers and SEN and teaching staff. | 123441286 |
Are there rules for being a family caregiver? Yes, in the sense that what you do has to work both for your loved one and for you.
Organization is important because your time, energy, and resources are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.
Also important is your attitude. If you reach your breaking point, who will look out for your loved one? Stress can not only cause you health problems, it can negatively impact your loved one.
You may not know it, but many loved ones benefit from staying on a regular schedule during care. It’s not just that medications work better when we have a regular routine. When there is a lot of uncertainty about health problems, worry can often take over. Getting up every morning at the same time and going to bed with a regular ritual can actually be comforting, especially for people who have experienced medical emergencies. Knowing what to expect from a normal day can keep everyone on a more even keel.
Why should you keep score on what’s working and what’s not working for you as a caregiver? How can you know when to change things if you have no way to measure your successes and failures? Most caregivers find over time that what once worked in one type of situation doesn’t when a loved one’s health deteriorates. Very often, we get stuck in doing things for loved ones just one way, without flexibility. It’s important to get your loved one’s input, lest we become dull or domineering.
Believe it or not, your best tool as a caregiver is to learn as much about your loved one’s issues as possible. Observe changes in behavior and attitude. These can often signal new health issues or fears triggered by new symptoms that might be easily cured. Be aware of side effects, complications, and other bumps in the road. Understand the reality of what it’s like to be a person who needs care -- imagine walking in those shoes yourself. The more you can keep your loved one involved in the family, the better. No one likes to feel dependent, weak, helpless, or useless. There will always be something your loved one can do to contribute, even if it’s ideas, advice, and knowledge.
There is nothing worse than a grouch, especially for a loved one needing care. For people who can’t take care of themselves due to illness, disability, or old age, guilt often rears its ugly head. Many arguments and emotional meltdowns can be attributed to misunderstandings over perceptions. If you’re tense, frustrated, or miserable, you will convey that to your loved one and it will affect the care you provide. It’s not a matter of pretending that everything is okay. It’s a matter of resolving issues that stand in your way of being a caregiver, so that you can smile with genuine enthusiasm. Sometimes it’s more important to leave the dirty laundry and dishes behind in pursuit of some fun.
Some caregivers think it’s just a matter of handling things as they pop up, but a more effective way of managing caregiving is to think ahead of the curve. Be proactive, not reactive. When you train yourself to notice issues, you can find effective solutions sooner. The longer things go on unresolved, the greater the stress levels for you and your loved one. Anyone with an uncertain future is already worried enough, so when you handle problems as they manifest, you are removing obstacles from an already challenging road.
Do yourself a favor and forget about leaping tall buildings in a single bound. Stick to efficient and effective actions, reserve as much of your limited energy as possible, and understand the need to prioritize your “to do” list. Remember the most important advice of all: You are one person and there are only twenty four hours in a day. Included your loved one in the decision-making process as much as possible, do what matters most, and let yourself off the hook for the non-essential things you just don’t have time to handle.
Success isn’t measured by your loved one’s recovery -- none of us are miracle workers, especially when patients are overwhelmed by serious health issues. It’s also not about keeping a squeaky clean home or how well you dispense medications on time. If you want to know whether you’re doing a good job, look to the relationship you have with your loved one. When you are able to negotiate, cajole, and encourage your loved one to cooperate, your work as a caregiver is cooperative. | 54761756 |

Home Reviews Ranjan Review: Unapologetically clichéd & tasteless!
Ranjan Review: Unapologetically clichéd & tasteless!
The problem with our films is that we think too much for the audiences. We shamelessly take them for granted. We assume they like certain aspects & we keep hammering them with those. So they like teenage romance? They like a social message? They like songs? What more, comedy? Fine, we’ll give them all that & they will come in huge numbers at the theatres! Supposably not!
We understand that people do like these aspects but not before the actual story of the film. Though the story of Ranjan doesn’t really make any sense, but in worst case scenario if someone still wants to make a film on it, they could have wrapped it up in less than 40 minutes. A boy falls in love with a girl in his class, & is ready to do anything for her. The girl & the boy both are in 9th standard, but they display an IQ that would appear lower even for 5th standard kids. Fine, then there’s a cute fat kid, our hero’s friend who actually gets more dialogue & screen time as he is played by a known child artist (Ganya from Elizabeth Ekadashi). The girl puts a condition to the boy that gives rise to the main conflict of the film. Trust me you don’t want to know the condition or challenge!
The first big issue is how insensitive the film is to the girl. In such love stories are we supposed to believe, it’s fine for boys to think of girls as objects of desire! In one of the dialogues, a boy mentions how boys should keep asking a girl, consistently until she says yes. Nowhere do we get a chance to understand what would the girl be going through? Is her mental trauma of least importance to the film? It seems to be.
So the challenge involves a task for which our hero needs to be inspired by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj! ‘Ganimi Kawa’ is the tactic he utilizes. The majority of second half focuses on the most redundant details through the implementation of this tactic. The film was supposed to make us laugh through all this but it simply bores us.
Among the supporting cast that include Bharat Ganeshpure, Vidyadhar Joshi &BhauKadam; they are simply playing their own caricatures, but still Bhau Kadam manages to interest us in some of his typical antics. It seems almost impossible for Marathi filmmakers today to make movies without Bhau! Bhau knows that & his self-confidence is reflected in his screen presence.
Ranjan has four songs, well decent if judged separately away from the film. In the film they add nothing at all & are simply there because, well the audience loved Sairat, didn’t they? They are sung by four important Marathi singers of today’s times, an attempt that might actually attract a few audiences towards this film.
Last but not the least we can’t help but feel ridiculed about the title of this film! Why is it titled ‘Ranjan’? Well, there’s an actual ‘Ranjan’ in the film but its purpose of existence is almost impossible to justify. Does this ‘Ranjan’ symbolize anything? We believe it symbolizes a stock of endless clichés this film has tried to use!

Features Evaluation I altered to mspy because of added feature, report surroundings, photograph spying etc. have experienced mspy since September and I have never been worked for by these additional capabilities.
I was offered several answers for record surroundings no longer working connection that is i.e. disrupted with contact etc. I analyzed them myself, they never workedever! I had been alright to keep with mspy having site recording etc. Until, additional standard characteristics call lately. Somehow & my target;s cellphone dropped connection with mspy.

Mspy said that my net connection must weak enough! It was powerful. I sitting right next-to my router when I try and link and have full-strength web! I’m at the moment, paying for nothing! Why im no longer have the phone/sourroundings recordings features anymore. Been reduced buyer for just two months and that I simply expanded for 30 days that was the main reason i been extended it-one more month however now im thinking of cancel the suscription its thanx I ordered mspy also it worked great. I read, listened and saw everything. Till the info was exposed by me in their mind the mark had no idea. Untrue, not dependable and incredibly dishonest.
While I understood too much because this application truly offers you usage of everything glad I did this. As it saved me from a time of anguish pleased I did so this,. Thanks Mspy system was the most effective. But now it’s been the worst simply because they ended Contact Saving and sourrounding phone and that I genuinely not guide anybody for this program. I had the quality registration for half a year. I observed the observe that rural sound-recording and contact recording was nolonger available when I visited continue. Except they make these features available Used to do not and will not restore until/.
Hi All, The #8221 & Phone Recording; and &# 8220;File Encompassing; attributes are no longer available within mspy application because of the legal circumstance. Nonetheless, there are still more than 25 features in mspy as possible utilize to monitor a mobile phone. And that I acquired a contact from Team that was mSpy. Here is what it stated: MSpy cares concerning worries and the desires of its customers. Thats why we have always been delivering parents whose purpose is to retain their children secure also to companies who find to control their workers productivity with their information and agreement with our solutions. Consistent with this design, we need to summarize that in no terms do we suggest nor promote using our software for applications apart from which have been expressly mentioned. Please eliminate any content that advises otherwise. You could possibly refer to our website to get a more descriptive information of the accepted uses of tracking application. We’d want to pull you focus on the fact monitoring application, like mSpy, still stays lawful.
The prices contrary to the internet described and, perhaps, one of the programmers were induced the basis of marketing an. We have made sure mSpy clearly positions itself being a parental control instrument and business tracking remedy that could simply be utilized with prior permission obtained. Thankyou, mSpy Group I dont feel folks acquire this application just for fun. At the least for me, its to money involved + the installation process. You were the untill you created this choice that is foolish. Why all the other traveler applications nonetheless possess the functions that are saving. To bad they cant contend with you.
Mspy is straightforward to use, cost, dependable that are worthy you label it! To get rid of this; because of Mspy record environments my Youngsters however have their mum living! Before it was to late. I found about my husbands programs that were enchanting Have a day everybody that is pleasant! Mspy didn’t notify me that phone amp & saving; surround recording characteristic are unavailable anymore. Mspy did not actually deliver a note email about my request expiration to me. My membership was terminated previous month &. I did so any mail is received by n ot even in my junk folder. Motive may be something.
I’d last six month membership for only 57 pounds (46) but I continues to be risen up to 136 pound (108 inct) which will be totally ripoff specially when these two features aren’t available. Business getting greedy greedy. An month subscription that was mSpy an Hi.I ordered. Within not actually attempting to set this system up, and hours, I emailed and tried to stop my request as a result of 10- day refund plan evidently stated to their website’s frontpage. I used apps to spy on spouse to be clearly advised, no return will be presented as I should have read their return policy.

In 264 BC, a Roman army was poised to cross from southern Italy into Sicily. They couldn't know that this crossing would be Rome's first step on its journey from local republic to vast and powerful empire.
At the beginning of the three dramatic centuries that make up this book's narrative, Rome had no emperor and limited global influence; by the book's end, Hadrian was set to pass into history as one of the greatest emperors, whose territories stretched from England to Turkey.
In David Potter's masterful history of this period, we trace the process of cultural, political and civic transformation which led to the creation of a monarchy and the acquisition of territory, via wars with Hannibal, the destruction of Carthage, Augustan Empire-building and Hadrian's famous wall, all of which contributed to the most successful multi-cultural state in the history of Europe. This is a lively, scholarly approach to an essential era.
David Potter is Francis W Kelsey Collegiate Professor of Greek and Roman History, and Professor of Greek and Latin at the University of Michigan. He is author of many scholarly articles, and the books Constantine the Emperor and The Victor's Crown: A History of Ancient Sport from Homer to Byzantium. | 275435117 |

President Donald Trump plans to take the court case regarding his executive order on immigration "through the system" and, if need be, to the Supreme Court, he said Tuesday.
"It's very important. It's very important for the country," he said during a meeting at the White House. "Regardless of me or whoever succeeds at a later date, we have to have security in our country. We have to have the ability."
Trump's executive order barred people from seven majority-Muslim countries — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Syria — from traveling to the United States for 90 days. The Trump administration said it wanted to review its vetting system during that time.
The seven countries were identified by former President Barack Obama's administration as terror hotspots.
"When you take someplace like Syria ... and if you remember, ISIS said, 'We are going to infiltrate the United States and other countries through the migration,'" Trump said. "And then we're not allowed to be tough on the people coming in? Explain that one. So we'll see what happens. We have a big court case, we're well represented, and we're going to see what happens."
Asked if the case would make it to the Supreme Court, Trump said it could.
"I mean, we'll see," he said. "Hopefully it doesn't have to. It's common sense. You know, some things are law, and I'm all in favor of that, and some things are common sense. This is common sense."
Late on Friday, Judge James Robart, a George W. Bush appointee based in Washington state, blocked key parts of the order nationwide. Trump attacked Robart on Twitter over the weekend, calling him a "so-called judge" and suggesting the public blame both Robart and the broader court system for any future terror attack on US soil.
The Justice Department subsequently filed for an immediate restoration of the travel ban but was rejected. Attorneys said the ban was lawful because of the president's wide-reaching authority to protect the nation under what it deemed a national-security threat.
Judges at the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, in San Francisco, will hear arguments from both parties on Tuesday.
Either party in the case, State of Washington v. Trump, could appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, which has had only eight justices since Antonin Scalia died in February 2016. If the court were to deadlock, as it did last year regarding an Obama executive order on immigration, the appellate court's ruling would stand.
When the travel ban was implemented late last month, it was interpreted by the White House to include barring those who are legal permanent residents in the US, known as green-card holders, which caused chaos at airports across the country as they were detained. After a series of temporary stays from federal judges, the Department of Homeland Security soon after ordered green-card holders from the countries be allowed into the US. | 160937499 |

I interrupt my own blog posts to bring you this special news bulletin: yesterday I made a fox poop itself in fear.
The fox came within about 5 steps, altered its path and came right to my feet before stopping. I think it was hoping for some food or something, a behavior it most likely picked up after years of feeding by tourists. When it saw that I wasn’t going to give it anything, it tried to nip at my pant leg. So I copied a behavior I’ve seen baboons perform during my time conducting fieldwork in Africa: I crouched low, bared my teeth, hissed, and performed a false charge. That is, an “attack” charge that’s really only meant as a warning to the other animal (Author’s Note: DO NOT do this with animals like bears, gorillas, baboons, cape buffalo…basically anything that you don’t want calling your bluff. Sure way to get killed).
In this case, it worked. The fox leapt back, fear-pooped on the ground, and then rolled over to show me its belly. When it saw I wasn’t going to continue my “attack,” it got up, turned away, and jogged off into the shrubs.
Folks, don’t feed wild animals. It isn’t good for them and can really lead them to harm.
This has been a special news bulletin and public service announcement. We now return to your regularly scheduled infrequently submitted blog posts. | 212780348 |
To dance is to tell a story; each turn a new chapter, each movement a reflection of peaks and valleys. To dance is to enliven tales that may not otherwise be told, so today, let us dance with Caroline Velek as we tell her story.
Velek is a senior at Friendswood High School and the Grand Marshal of the Wranglerettes. The curtain rose on Velek’s dance career when she decided to stop playing softball and get involved with the dance company Star Steppers when she was in seventh-grade.
Her hard worked paid off and a few years later, Velek earned a spot on the Wranglerettes.
“In a way, she was somewhat of an underdog because she started to dance a little bit later, but over time, her true colors showed and she was the perfect leader,” Alyssa Goza, Wranglerettes instructor, said.
Perhaps this ability to captivate her audience comes from Velek’s attention to putting everything she has into each and every dance.
Her dedication has earned Velek the WOW girl title, the highest-ranking officer position, and top awards at regional, state and national competitions. Despite all of her success, Velek has remained humble and focused on what is best for the team.
Velek said her leadership style comes from her past experiences with Wranglerette leadership.
The sisters actually had a duet together this past competition season. That was something Velek considered to be “super special,” especially considering the duet was undefeated at all competitions.
Additionally, the team had plenty of success throughout the season, including coming home as National Champions from the MA National Dance Competition on March 22.
As her last season as a Wranglerette comes to an end, Velek reflected back on who got her to where she is today, stating Goza and her Star Steppers dance teacher, Kristi Morrison, have had the biggest influence on her.
Velek’s last performance as a Wranglerette will be during the Spring Show on April 26 and 27, and though the curtain will close on this phase of her dancing career, Velek said she is determined to make the dance team at Texas A&M where she will be studying business in the Fall.
Goza stated she is thrilled Velek will continue to dance in college. | 45163776 |
In a previous article I wrote about grabbing objects and moving them around,using Unity3d in a virtual reality environment but not everything in the world can be moved around. Therefore I will be discussing how you can deal with your hands colliding with static non-moving objects.
My implementation will need to stop the virtual hand moving though static objects like walls, but I also want to be able to move my hand along the surface of the object.
The first observation is that we now need two tracking objects.
Most of the time the two tracking objects will have the same coordinates, but when a static object is hit, they break apart. The input target will move through the wall, but the Hand Target should stop at the surface.
To detect collisions between kinematic Rigidbodies (the hand) and static objects we cannot use normal colliders (see the table on the bottom of the Box Collider page). Instead we need to use a trigger collider. This should not be a surprise: rigidbodies with normal colliders implement physics. In our case, physics does not apply: the wall does not move and our hand only moves by kinematics.
We add a Trigger Collider and a kinematic Rigidbody to the Hand Target: these will then detect when the Hand Target collides with an object. Again, we will use a simple Sphere Collider, in this case with a radius of 5 cm (0.5) units, because we want to be able to move the hand quite close to static objects.
The most important functionality is implemented in the Update function of the same script. If the hands haven’t collided, it will make the rotation and position of the Hand Target equal to that of the Input Target. If the hand have collided, we need to adjust only the position of the Hand Target. We will keep updating the rotation of the Hand to that of the Input.
To determine the position of the virtual hand with respect to the Input Target, we use a RayCast function. It will ‘shoot’ a ray from the shoulder into the direction of the Input Target. We need to shoot 0.5 cm further (dir.magnitude + 0.05f, because of the 0.1 scale of the transform) because we want to reach the outer side of the Sphere Collider: that is were the Sphere Collider will meet with the wall first.
Howver when shooting the ray we only want to hit the right colliders. We need to exclude the hand colliders for grabbing objects, because otherwise the hand would be stopped by themselves! In the previous article we already put the hand on a special layer MyHands. We can now use this to exclude them from the RayCast collision. In my demo setup, the MyHand layer is layer number 9, so we exclude those from the layermask rcLayers.
If the RayCast now hits an object this will probably be the wall. This point it hit will be in the direction of the Input Target, but limited by the static object. We now need to set the Hand Target to this point, we only need to correct for the Sphere Collider radius. We do this by subtracting 0.5 cm (0.05 units because of the 0.1 scale of the transform) in the direction of the Input Target.
And that is it: the hands will be stopped by the wall but will still follow the target as closely as possible.
Note that this script is not a full solution. The sphere is a very rough approximation of the hand shape. Especially when the hand is holding large objects like a sword you will see the sword still going through the wall because it is outside the sphere collider. Also when other colliders appear between the shoulder and the static collider during raycasting they will also stop the hand, even when they are not marked static.
I hope however that this shows you the basics of hand collisions with static objects and that it inspires you to further implement hand movements in virtual reality.
I have updated the free VR Hands Unity package for you to try out the script above. A second scene is added which includes a simple wall besides the cube which can be grabbed. Have fun with it! | 218335057 |
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POSTURING AND DESTROYING…. In March 2006, the Republican-led Senate took the rather routine step on increasing the federal debt limit. It passed 52 to 48, nearly along party lines, with every Democrat voting against it, and just about every Republican voting for it.
But in 2006, that Democratic caucus included a member who now happens to be president, and this has generated some fair questions this week.
On Sunday, President Obama’s top economic adviser, Council of Economic Advisers chair Austan Goolsbee, cautioned members of Congress not to “play chicken” by voting against raising the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling — despite the fact that as a senator in 2006, President Obama voted that way.
Four year ago, however, then-Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., voted the exact way President Obama is now cautioning senators not to do.
That’s true. In 2006, Republicans had abandoned any pretense of fiscal sanity, and were throwing everything they could — wars, Medicare expansion, tax cuts, No Child Left Behind — on the national charge card for future generations to worry about. Indeed, Republicans had turned one of the largest surpluses in American history, bequeathed by President Clinton in 2001, into one of the largest deficits in American history. It prompted the entire Democratic Senate caucus in 2006 to vote “no” in protest.
But the context matters here. When pressed on this yesterday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs reminded reporters that the raising of the debt limit at the time “was not in question” and “the outcome” was already clear. “The full faith and credit of our government and our economy was not in doubt,” Gibbs added.
And he’s right. In 2006, Dems, including Obama, weren’t holding the government hostage; they weren’t making outrageous demands; and they weren’t putting anyone at risk. They made a symbolic vote as a form of protest,and wouldn’t have hesitated to vote the other way if the full faith and credit of the United States government was actually at risk. It wasn’t.
The circumstances in 2011 are very different, and we now have a wide range of right-wing lawmakers who aren’t just hoping to “send a message,” but rather, are prepared to cause the country to default and create catastrophic economic conditions. At the same time, they’re suggesting they might go along with a debt-level increase, if Dems give in to ridiculous demands on entitlements.
To equate these tactics with the ’06 vote is a mistake. There’s a difference between political posturing and deliberate destruction. | 301904779 |
Wright as an educator / Aaron Green and Lloyd Wright ; produced by Bruce Rodde.
This episode of the centennial celebration of Frank Lloyd Wright's birth illustrates Wright's interest in teaching young people and how they in turn informed his own architectural practice. Aaron Green, a San Francisco-based architect, discusses his impressions of the years he spent working with Wright at his architecture studio, Taliesin. Reese Palley describes how San Francisco hippies volunteered to help reconstruct Wright's V.C. Morris Gift Shop. Lloyd Wright, Frank's son, talks about what his father's reaction to hippie disenchantment might have been. Arch Oboler, actor, playwright and radio personality, talks about how none of Wright's students have really matched his legacy. The bulk of the program consists of Frank Lloyd Wright addressing a crowd of students and faculty at the University of California, Berkeley in 1957, two years before his death. | 31370002 |

Flowers—White, 1 to 1-1/2 in. wide, in 3-bracted whorls of 3, borne near the summit of a leafless scape 4 in. to 4 ft. tall. Calyx of 3 sepals; corolla of 3 rounded, spreading petals. Stamens and pistils numerous, the former yellow in upper flowers; usually absent or imperfect in lower pistillate flowers. Leaves: Exceedingly variable; those under water usually long and grass-like; upper ones sharply arrow-shaped or blunt and broad, spongy or leathery, on long petioles.
Preferred Habitat—Shallow water and mud.
Distribution—From Mexico northward throughout our area to the circumpolar regions.
Wading into shallow water or standing on some muddy shore, like a heron, this striking plant, so often found in that bird's haunts, is quite as decorative in a picture, and, happily, far more approachable in life. Indeed, one of the comforts of botany as compared with bird study is that we may get close enough to the flowers to observe their last detail, whereas the bird we have followed laboriously over hill and dale, through briers and swamps, darts away beyond the range of field-glasses with tantalizing swiftness.
While no single plant is yet thoroughly known to scientists, in spite of the years of study devoted by specialists to separate groups, no plant remains wholly meaningless. When Keppler discovered the majestic order of movement of the heavenly bodies, he exclaimed, "O God, I think Thy thoughts after Thee!"—the expression of a discipleship every reverent soul must be conscious of in penetrating, be it ever so little a way, into the inner meaning of the humblest wayside weed.
Any plant which elects to grow in shallow water must be amphibious: it must be able to breathe beneath the surface as the fish do, and also be adapted to thrive without those parts that correspond to gills; for ponds and streams have an unpleasant way of drying up in summer, leaving it stranded on the shore. This accounts in part for the variable leaves on the arrow-head, those underneath the water being long and ribbon-like, to bring the greatest possible area into contact with the air with which the water is charged. Broad leaves would be torn to shreds by the current through which grass-like blades glide harmlessly; but when this plant grows on shore, having no longer use for its lower ribbons, it loses them, and expands only broad arrow-shaped surfaces to the sunny air, leaves to be supplied with carbonic acid to assimilate, and sunshine to turn off, the oxygen and store up the carbon into their system. | 77948810 |
Creating personas is a very powerful and rewarding approach to help increase the usability and client centricity of any web site or digital product. As a designer – who has created and used personas in design – but more so as a Web Project Manager, I've been a big advocate for the creation and use of personas to influence and guide the design, redesign or iterative evolution of digital platforms.
More times than not, when consulting with clients on a new project, they either don’t understand what a persona is, however in the event they do, most haven’t created or truly invested the time in creating fulsome personas to guide designers and developers into creating the best experience for your intended audience. And more interestingly enough, as projects progress and often scope creeps, personas are a continual talking point that is raised when addressing missed features, new enhancements or digital marketing. By getting up close and ‘persona’ with your website, your design and development team can focus on a manageable and memorable cast of characters and develop for a specific somebody, rather than the generic everybody.
User personas are generally based on a combination of your websites analytical data, user research as well as incorporates the needs, goals, and observed behavior by patterns of your own or your competitors target audience groups.
Header - This portion of the persona is all that is only fictional in nature, where you assign a name, image, and quote that summarizes what matters most to the persona as it relates to the project. By adding a more ‘human’ aspect to a persona, this helps to improve memorability which the design and development team can focused on the users they are building the project for.
Demographic Profile - While the header is a more fictional, memorable in notion, demographic details are all factually based and built on user research. This is comprised of four main profiles: personal background, professional background, user environment, and psychographics.
Personal Background includes specifics such as age, gender, ethnicity, education, persona group and family status.
Professional Background includes details such as job occupation, income level, and work experience.
User Environment represents the physical, social, and technological background of the user.
Psychographics includes attitudes, interests, motivations, and pain points which adds an additional layer of realism or ‘human’ attributes to a persona with the intention to boost empathy when exploring user needs and goals.
End Goal(s) - An end goal is the driving force that inspires action, and answers the age-old question: what do users want or need to accomplish by using your website or product?
Scenario - A scenario is a narrative, a “day-in-the-life” of how the persona would interact with your website or product in to achieve his or her end goal(s). The scenario usually defines when, where, and how the narrative takes place and are written from the perspective of the persona and includes use cases that may arise in the future.
What a persona is NOT: a persona is not a user, nor is it based on your customers likes and dislikes, nor is it a hypothetical person who is dreamed up by a marketing department. Personas and users tend to get mixed up interchangeably. Personas concentrate on what a user does, what frustrates the user, and what gives the user satisfaction, not what product they don’t like, what words you use they may not like or maybe the brand product names they do like.
“Yesterday. As early as possible” is the best advice for when to create personas for your project. As personas are based on user research and representative of those whom will use your site or product, the persona-creation process should be a part of the overall discovery and/or research phase before the design process starts. Personas can help influence the features that are required, the customers buying journey – but mainly benefits the creation of the design.
The main benefit of using personas is they create a common goal(s) that can help identify features and focus the design and development efforts. Additionally, when it comes to making design strategy decisions, the functionalities that would most benefit one or multiple personas will help guide which features to implement and prioritize.
Although it is recommended to complete personas at the start of your project, personas are also beneficial for websites and products that are developed and may require continual tweaks and improvements. Some choose to implement an iterative design process known as growth-driven design, which is an agile development or redesign of a website or product in intentional increments. Based on user driven data and personas, businesses make continuous, adaptations based on a business's ongoing analysis of customers wants, needs and goals – all of which formulate personas.
What you first detailed as your user persona from the birth of your site or product, may not be the same when you have added more features, launched into new markets or added in new services. Personas will fundamentally change and grow as does your business.
Like any other process or tool available to a business analyst, designer or developer, personas can hold a lot of power when done at the right time and place – the trick is to know when to initiate the creation of personas and then use it effectively. If used badly or not based on research, made up of fluff, information that is not pertinent to the issue at hand, or if based only on market research then personas will impart a false understanding of users and lead to a true non user-centered design process.
Don’t lose sight in the importance of taking time to create user personas when starting a new digital product. Save yourself time and money and add persona development to your process. Most companies have resources to do so, and there are several consultants who can assist if you don’t have the expertise on your team. | 309831369 |

Smitha in The Dirty Picture was set for its worldwide TV premiere on a Sunday afternoon last month. Despite the film being submitted with 59 cuts, it wasn't allowed to be aired because of its bold content, which created furore amongst channels and filmmakers.
Noted director-producer Ram Gopal Varma, whose upcoming movie Department has loads of action, drama and an item number, says, "I am not aware of the regulations...how they (Censor board) manage it. The concept of censorship is outdated in today's times as every person has access to various things."
"You just have to offer the content and it is upto them whether they want to see it or not. The whole thing about protecting it from children ...how anything can be protected from anyone, in that case even cellphones and internet must also be banned," Varma told PTI.
On whether Department would also undergo certain cuts, he said, "We will take a call on that after censor board's decision and on what rating we get."
Director Soojit Sircar, whose recent movie 'Vicky Donor' dealt with a subject of sperm donation and had bold dialogues, echoes a similar view, "I think it is people's decision what they want to see and what not. It is not only the responsibility of filmmakers, but also of parents to see what it is right or wrong for their children. Like sometimes, even item numbers are vulgar."
"We were granted U/A certificate by Censor Board. In our film we are addressing a social problem so there is nothing wrong about it," he added. | 300286754 |

William Spratling died in 1967 but his legacy lives on through the efforts of Violante Ulrich and her sister Consuelo. Their father, Alberto Ulrich, was a close Spratling friend and supporter. They drove race cars together along the narrow winding roads connecting Taxco with the Pacific beach resort of Acapulco. Ulrich took over the Spratling enterprise then to keep it going and his daughters are also committed to this.
I made arrangements with Violante to spend a day with her in Taxco during our recent folk art study tour. Silver is to Mexico what rebozos are, too. Part of this country’s cultural identity. So, seeing the Spratling home Las Delicias where he first lived and worked was an essential part of this experience.
I remember visiting the Spratling silver galleries in Taxco in the early 1970’s. I was young and couldn’t afford much. Even then, Spratling was a legend. There were many beautiful pieces for sale in the showroom on the plaza. I managed to buy a small chain for $35 USD — a big sum then — and still have it!
Taxco is about a two-hour drive from Tenancingo, so it made sense to me to schedule this as a day trip. When we arrived, we had breakfast at S’Caffecito prepared by Violante and her staff, got a tour of the house, galleries and and rooftop terrace overlooking the church.
Above left, Violante with a Marilyn Monroe chair. Right, the Spratling monkey.
Then, we got in the van and drove to Taxco El Viejo on the road to Iguala, where Spratling later built his ranch. He did this for many reasons. He wanted privacy and a workshop away from the hovering eyes of other Taxco silversmiths who began to copy his work.
Spratling workshop, just as it was then. Antonio demonstrates.
It was amazing to be in this space where all the equipment used now was the same as it was then.
The beginning of the owl pin with the amethyst eyes.
The jewelry molds are exactly as they were, and skilled craftsmen are creating silver flatware inlaid with rosewood, pins, necklaces, bracelets and earrings in the same gauge metal and quality that William Spratling used.
Not much has changed, thankfully, except that the next generation of Spratling silversmiths include Violante and Consuelo who have registered a new stamp with the Mexican government and also design and produce their own work.
We saw the chairs that Spratling designed for Marilyn Monroe that went undelivered because of her suicide.
How did they know this? Margarita Gonzales, the accountant, kept impeccable records, and when Alberto Ulrich found the stash of chairs tucked away in a closet, he knew exactly where to look to track the provenance.
After a tour of the ranch and the workshops, we settled in for a delicious lunch under the corridor next to the kitchen. We talked about beauty, history, Spratling’s love of red, white and blue ornamentation that represented to him the colors of melting silver. We saw pre-Columbian sculpture and folk art figures from Spratling’s personal collection.
A day with Violante Ulrich is a rich experience by which to understand the lore and history of Taxco silver making and the life of William Spratling. She is an artful cook, outstanding silversmith, great host and dedicated to preserving the ranch which is in need of restoration. We were fortunate to spend this time with her.
At the end of the afternoon there was enough independent time to explore the steep cobbled hill town, go into the church and search for more silver treasures before heading back to Tenancingo.
A surprise awaited us! In the church was sculptor Miguel D. Sobrino who created the silver Virgin of Guadalupe that stands beside the altar encased in protective glass. Except today, Our Lady had been removed from her case and was being thoroughly cleaned to prepare her for a move to the Basilica de Guadalupe in Mexico City to greet Pope Francis.
We enjoyed lots of views — from the Las Delicias rooftop garden and the terrace overlooking the central plaza. For some on the study tour, this trip to Taxco was a dream come true. I hadn’t been back for 44 years until last September. I’m looking forward to the next time. I hope you can come with me.
I will be organizing this rebozo study tour for mid-September 2016 to coincide with the Tenancingo rebozo fair. There will be a few modifications in the itinerary we just completed but the trip to Taxco is set in stone! Please tell me if you are interested. Get on the notification list!
If you want to take a silver jewelry making workshop at the Spratling Ranch, please contact Violante directly. She is also starting a B&B there, so there are some accommodations. The ranch is in need of restoration so please support her efforts in any way you can. It’s an important part of Mexican history. Thank you!

P.S. I have no earrings or rings from Brigitte to offer for sale at this time.
Our reunion with artist, jeweler, silversmith and dear friend Brigitte S. Huet has been in the making for over a year when Barbara and I first planned to visit Spain. Brigitte and her husband Ivan returned to France in early 2014 after making Oaxaca their home and creative inspiration for over 20 years. We miss them.
So, we made a meet-up plan for Bilbao, which is about four hours by car from the Toulouse area where they now live, to visit the Guggenheim Museum together.
Barbara asked Brigitte to bring a trunk show of collector pieces she had created in the early years. We spent time looking at designs we had never seen before that had been tucked away in Brigitte’s treasure chest in France. They included belt buckles, deeply carved silver beads, pendents, rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets.
Some of these, mostly necklaces and bracelets, are now available for sale. I have them with me and I will be posting photos and prices soon.
We reminisced, drank good red wine, ate stinky unpasteurized cheese, walked and giggled. It was wonderful to be with Brigitte again. They have not produced jewelry since returning to France.
There is no place where they live now to set up a casting studio. But, Brigitte has carved wax designs in preparation for what comes next and she has been carving wood, too. The creative life continues.

As a stage performer, director and creative consultant, I believe that every concert should be a reflection of the artist’s personality. It should tell a story… his story.
Every concert that I have done always had a theme. Looking back, I always had to have a theme that would bind the show together and not just mount a production just for the heck of it.
When I was starting, I depended entirely on a director, a writer and a musical director to do the entire production. I’d just learn my songs, learn my lines, do my blocking then that was it! Though the shows got good reviews, I personally felt disconnected and didn’t feel sincere in my performances. I was singing songs that had no meaning to me… singing them just because they were the hits during that time. I was saying words in my spiels that I personally wouldn’t find myself using on a normal basis. That wasn’t me. It was all memorised.
That was when I decided to be “hands-on” when it came to the planning. If ever we had to get a director, I had to sit down with him and pour out my creative and artistic inputs. Same went with the music, the costumes, the stage design and even the spiels.
That was when we “gave birth” to some of my signature concerts that really showed who I really was. First, there was “Christmas with The Voice”… then came “Beyond Expectations”… “Back To Basics”… “X – The Jed Madela 10th Anniversary Concert”… and the latest one, “All Requests”.
The “All Requests” concept is plain and simple. You request, I sing. A few months back, before the first show was staged, we announced on social media that we were soliciting songs from fans for the show. Songs that they’d like to hear me sing. Surprisingly, there was an outpour of random requests! From pop to rock… opera and novelty… to inspirational and dance! Name it, it was all there!
As of this writing, “All Requests” has been staged twice and is about to be slated for another run on the 21st of November… that’s ALL REQUESTS 3!
Joining me onstage is 5th Gen, a group of Filipino World Champions from the World Championships of Performing Arts in Hollywood, Himig Handog finalist, Michael Pangilinan, The Voice Kids Philippines runner up, Juan Karlos Labajo and Journey frontman, Arnel Pineda.
Join me once again as I perform the songs you requested for. And to those who are wondering if the songs from AR1 and AR2 are the same with AR3, well, some are but we have added more of your requests to the line up! Did your request make it? Well, you’d have to watch to find out!

It seemed just like yesterday when we were using the X as a temporary title for my 10th anniversary concert. I still can’t snap myself to believing that the concert is over and done! And hell yeah! It was one great evening!
Coming up with a concert is no joke. Talk about the sleepless nights and the constant headaches caused by too much brainstorming. Not to mention being paranoid all the time so as not to get sick! Phew! I must’ve have boosted up the sales of Berocca during the last months of preparation!
I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me. I allow myself to be immersed into the preparation of the concert. I am not the type of artist who just sits down and waits for everything to be spoon-fed… the songs to learn, the concept, the stage design, the outfits, the rehearsal schedules, etc. Everything went through me! And boy! It wasn’t easy! And I have the stress patches on my head to prove it!
But all the stress and hard work were all worth it!
The evening started a bit late due to the fact that it was a Friday and it was payday. An hour after the said starting time of 8pm, the band started to play its first note and everything flowed smoothly. There were a few hitches but what the heck. Human error. We’re not computers. We make mistakes. It’s just a matter of how you make it look as if it was intended.
As much as I’d like to do a run down of what happened in the concert, I’m not allowed to… yet! Hmmmm… a repeat?? Maybe… hopefully. All I can say, that night, I felt so much love from everyone who was there. The people who came were the ones who really considered me important. Despite the heavy traffic, they arrived… and watched. They made time for me… and for that I am truly thankful.
I want to thank my producers and everyone who worked on X. I really hope that we do more work in the future (minus the ones who just gave us headaches LOL).
To my family who flew all the way from Iloilo, Cebu and other places, thank you!
To those who bought tickets, thank you! You saved lives!

Another confirmation for me that I must be doing something right!
Thank you very much to the men and women of the Philippine Movie Press Club for the award they gave me last night at the PMPC Star Awards for Music; Male Recording Artist of the Year!!! What makes this special is that this is my third award for the same category for 3 years straight! I MUST be doing something right!
As I have said in my past interviews, awards are like exclamation points for me and are confirmation that I am able to touch people with my voice and my music. More than record sales… more than the popularity… what matters to me is that my music reaches out and touches people’s lives.
When we were planning to do an all-original album, we knew that it was going to be a difficult feat to do. In an age where everything seems to be done the easy way (recording revivals for more familiarity), an all-original album was a huge risk. I am so happy that my recording label, Star Records, placed their full trust in me and gave me this dream project. I am happy with ALL ORIGINAL… and last night’s award gave me the space to breathe that what I really pushed for was the right thing.
My real goal for ALL ORIGINAL was to inspire and encourage musicians to bring back what we had back in the past… a very prolific music industry where hit after hit was being put out into the airwaves. Composers and arrangers came up with the most beautiful Filipino songs that to this day are still remembered. THAT was what I wanted… to spark the drive of all Filipino artists to bring back original material. I really hope and pray that day will come!
I have nothing against doing remakes. I myself did numerous albums and have spun a couple of hit revivals but of course they weren’t mine. One ultimate dream of an artist is to have his own song that he calls his own… a song that after he is long gone will still be tagged with his name.
I still have a long way to go. And as long as there are people who continue to support my songs and my concerts, I will continue to make music for all of you.
Thank you to my family… for their continuous support even if they are miles away from me! You are my strength!
And last but not the least, To my LORD GOD for giving me this voice… and for the opportunities to share it with everyone! | 295137778 |
Last night I face painted for a 5 year old girl's birthday party with a "Frozen" theme. Olaf on the arm was very popular! The party took place at Perinton Dance Company, a treasure tucked away at Turk Hill Office Park. I brought goody bags for all the kids, which was a big hit.
Here's a Smilebox collage I made after the party and sent to the hostess. Click to play, then click any photo to enlarge while it plays. | 152619662 |
DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 9, 2019--The “Automotive MEMS Sensors Market - Analysis of Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2019 - 2024)” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The automotive MEMS sensors can be used in a number of applications, such as tire pressure monitoring systems, oil pressure sensing, pedestrian protection, and in exhaust gas recirculation. The market serves a vast variety of industry verticals, ranging from very small consumer electronic devices to very large automotive manufacturers. Automotive MEMS sensors provide various advantages of high efficiency, small size, and low cost.
The growing demand for safety and security in automobiles is one of the main factors that is playing a vital role in the growth of the market. According to the World Health Organization, globally, more than 1.55 million people are killed in road accidents every year, and about 50 million people get injured. MEMS sensors play a critical role in improving the safety features of vehicles and act as catalysts for the growth of the market.
The emergence of electric vehicles (EVs) in the industry has dramatically impacted the demand for and distribution of pressure and magnetic sensors, and is expected to further increase the demand in the long-term. Increasing sales of electric cars is thereby increasing the demand for sensors, along with the surge in sensors for used battery monitoring, and various positioning and detection of moving parts of the automobiles.
Mandated safety systems, such as tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) and electronic stability control (ESC) attained full implementation in new vehicles in major automotive markets. The United States, for instance, is currently driving the revenue growth for MEMS sensors.
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology is used in a wide variety of modern era automotive sensors. The small size of MEMS sensors provides a quicker response to rapid change in measured parameter, and because of the extremely low-cost, the use has been extensive. One of the most well-known MEMS devices for automotive applications are inertial sensors and pressure sensors.
Passive safety applications, like the airbag deployment, make use of MEMS sensors for communicating vehicle deceleration inputs to the electronic control unit (ECU) that controls the airbags.
Crash sensing for airbag control is a compelling factor for the demand of inertial MEMS sensors. Companies, like ST Electronics, Bosch, and Analog Devices, among others, have been instrumental in developing MEMS-based accelerometer sensors and inertial sensors specified for a temperature range extending from -40C to +125C, which are suitable for enabling passive safety during a crash.
Innovations in the MEMS sensors for airbag applications are toward increasing the processing speed of the sensors and sensors that can detect forces up to 120g or 480g. For instance, Bosch, in November 2018, launched a new generation of high-g acceleration sensors, SMA7xy sensor family, which are designed to enable faster signal processing, as compared to the sensors of the preceding generation (SMA6xy released in 2014). With higher bandwidth, these sensors detect impact and facilitate more rapid deployment of the vehicle’s passive safety systems.
In the light of the road crash fatalities, governments across regions, like the United States and Europe, have mandated automobiles to have airbag functions even in non-luxury variants. These regulations, therefore, have fueled the demand for MEMS sensors for airbag deployments.
Asia-Pacific is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate in the automotive MEMS sensors market, owing to the rapidly growing automotive industry in economies, such as China and Japan. In the automotive industry, tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is one of the applications of MEMS sensors. China’s prominent role in implementing TPMS for its vehicles is expected to contribute to the market’s growth positively over the forecast period. Additionally, the standardization of autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is accelerating the growth.
The automotive MEMS sensors market is highly competitive and consists of several major players. In terms of market share, few of the major players currently dominate the market. These major players with a prominent share in the market are focusing on expanding their customer base across foreign countries. These companies are leveraging on strategic collaborative initiatives to increase their market share and increase their profitability.
For instance, in November 2018, Analog Devices Inc. launched a broad range of new Industry 4.0 solutions, enabled with MEMS sensor within its advanced Industry 4.0 roadmap that aimed at helping the industrial equipment accelerate their path to Industry 4.0. These new solutions deliver next-generation flexibility, connectivity, and efficiency for today’s existing factory infrastructure. | 282401142 |

WEST Coast Eagles midfielder Andrew Gaff learned his fate for the horrific punch he delivered to the jaw of 18-year-old Fremantle youngster Andrew Brayshaw.
After lengthy cases being lodged by both sides, the jury of Wayne Henwood, David Neitz and Shane Wakelin took only 14 minutes before eventually handing Gaff an eight-week ban.
The suspension means Gaff will miss the remainder of the 2018 season and is likely to miss the opening two games of next season.
It matches the longest single-incident suspension handed down by the AFL, matching the eight-weeks given to Dean Solomon in 2008.
Gaff's ban is also the heaviest suspension for an on-field incident in the history of the West Coast Eagles.
Barry Hall initially received a 10-week ban, however thanks to an early guilty plea and the system at the time he was awarded a 25 per cent loading off the ban.
"I think eight weeks was at the bottom end of the scale from my own personal point of view," Garry Lyon said on AFL 360.
"Eight weeks including a finals series is a really substantial penalty and so it should be. It was unprecedented in recent times as to what we've seen and it's hard to watch.
"The incident was hard to watch, the fall out has been hard to watch and the tribunal just then was hard to watch too."
West Coast Eagles midfielder Andrew Gaff departs the AFL tribunal.
Usual co-host of the show and the Herald Sun's chief football writer Mark Robinson was in attendance at the tribunal, but gave his thoughts on the ruling during the show.
"I sat in on the tribunal as long as I could and I'm looking at a young man who was heavy with regret, he was really firm with his apologies and firm that it was an accident," Robinson said.
"I kept on looking at him and he was shattered. It's an emotional game footy and I felt for him, but the evidence was overwhelming.
"From the doctor, the commentary, the AFL advocate was fierce and really, really strong.
"And from Chairman Ross Howie calling punching reprehensible on the field when he came back with eight weeks I wasn't surprised."
Robinson then broke the news that Brayshaw's father, Mark, has pleaded for the football community to forgive Gaff.
"I interviewed Mark Brayshaw before the tribunal tonight and he's revealed that Angus and Andrew Gaff are going to be meeting this week to have a talk," Robinson said.
"What Mark has done as a father is call for the football community to forgive Gaff and cease the condemnation of this young man.
"He's made a mistake and he doesn't want this young man to have to wear it for the rest of his footy career and the rest of his football life."
Social media was divided on the ruling with several behind the ban and labelling it a fair assessment.
Others however believed the AFL missed a big opportunity to give Gaff an extensive ban following the incident.
The ruling not only rubs Gaff out for the remainder of the 2018 season, but he's set to become a restricted free agent at the end of the season and speculation has been rife that he's set to return to Victoria.
If he does opt to leave the West Coast Eagles, it would mean his first few games at his new club would be affected by the suspension. And would also leave a bad mark on the end of his tenure at the Eagles.
As Gaff walked out of the hearing and spoke to the awaiting media, he mentioned just how hard the past 48 hours had been for him.
"The last 48 hours has probably been the toughest couple of days of my life. People that I've spoken to and people who have seen me throughout that time know the world of pain I'm in and how much I'm suffering," Gaff said.
As the blowtorch was applied to Gaff following the incident, people weren't happy with him turning the incident and appearing to come across as the victim.
But while the world has taken aim at Gaff over the sickening incident, many have been quick to point out that nobody will be harder on him than he will be.
Port Adelaide defender Tom Jonas says the wellbeing of Gaff needs to be taken into account following the incident and people have to remember he is still human.
"It's pretty tough," Jonas told AFL.com.au.
"If you do the crime, there's going to be repercussions, but at the same time, you've probably got to take into account the mental health of the person that does it because he's still a human being.
"He'd be taking it pretty hard, as he probably should, but it will get dealt with in due course and both parties will come back from it and still be good footballers." | 229029235 |

The nursery reveal and a few final bump shots.
Very thrilled to finally share with you all my little boy’s nursery! I absolutely could not wait to get started on the nursery as soon as we found out we were expecting!! I was so thrilled when we found out we were having a little boy, because it meant I could finally get to work!! My mom found the cutest sign on Pinterest that said “Shh, no wake zone” that truly inspired it all! Caleb and I are very into all things beach and boating so the nautical theme just seemed too perfect for our little man!
I’m so very thankful for my dear friend Kate Blauert over at Kate Blauert Photography for capturing these precious images of Tommy’s nursery and a few last bump shots of me as well. I was quite pregnant and even in early labor during this time. I wasn’t sure I was quite up to getting my picture taken, but Kate was so sweet and encouraging through the entire shoot and managed to still make me feel pretty. I’m so thankful I have these last few bump shots to always remember that time as well! | 288907182 |

Part of the Oley team lobbying at DDNC, fall 2015.
Oley members play an important role in the public policy process, whether we’re describing the consumer experience to legislators drafting new laws or explaining how changes in regulations or standards will impact our lives to regulators who are charged with implementing laws once they’re passed.
One way Oley members advocate for home parenteral and enteral nutrition (HPEN) therapies is through the Digestive Disease National Coalition (DDNC), which is a non-profit organization that focuses on improving public policy related to, and increasing awareness about, digestive diseases. Established in 1978, DDNC includes patient and professional organizations.
Last October, Oley was represented by several of its ambassadors, members, and staff at DDNC’s first-ever Fall Public Policy Forum in Washington, D.C. The fall forum provided an opportunity for targeted and strategic outreach to congressional members on key health committees or with an interest in health care issues and medical research.
Thirty patient/consumer advocates, health care providers, professional society representatives, and industry members assembled to network and discuss legislative and policy issues of interest to the digestive disease community. We received advocacy training and broke into teams with complementary priorities to develop strategies for conducting effective congressional visits. We then swarmed Capitol Hill to meet with and educate congressional members and their staff on issues such as The Medicare Home Infusion Site of Care Act (S. 275/H.R. 605), The Functional GI and Motility Disorders Research Enhancement Act (H.R. 2311), funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and other relevant topics.
It was an exciting day to be on the Hill, as fiscal year (FY) 2016 appropriation bills were being considered and the new Speaker of the House was being selected. Even more exciting was building relationships with legislators and their staff by providing patient/consumer perspectives about what it’s like to live on HPEN and how their decisions impact Oley members’ lives.
The impact of these meetings has already been realized in two very tangible ways. First, Congress passed a consolidated appropriations bill for FY 2016 that included funding NIH at $32 billion, an increase of $2 billion above FY 2015 and the largest increase to their budget in twelve years. Second, after one of our groups met with the legislative director for Congressman Keith Rothfus (R-PA-12), Mr. Rothfus became a co-sponsor of The Functional GI and Motility Disorders Research Enhancement Act. Both of these actions demonstrate how valuable advocacy efforts can be. We can make a difference!
DDNC hosted its 26th Annual Spring Public Policy Forum in March in Washington, D.C. One hundred fifteen participants, including nearly forty patient/consumer advocates, were placed into teams by geographic region and visited one-hundred congressional offices spanning twenty-five states. Again, Oley was well represented.
This year’s theme, “The Value of Patient Engagement in Quality Care,” was emphasized through the legislative priorities highlighted and the messages presented to the groups before the teams dispersed to visit the Hill. Oley Ambassador Lynn Wolfson was invited to share her story of living with Hirschsprung’s disease and doing advocacy work. This was a meaningful experience and Oley participants plan to attend future DDNC policy forums.
Have your voice heard to help improve outcomes for the digestive disease community by participating in future DDNC events. For more information, see www.ddnc.org.
If you’re not inclined to travel to D.C. or aren’t impacted by digestive diseases, your voice is still very important. We are united by HPEN therapy, regardless of our diagnoses, and we all face challenges regarding access to care and availability of treatment options.
Participating in Oley’s advocacy efforts is a great opportunity to have our voices heard and allows us to play an integral role in the public policy process. You can meet with your members of Congress in their field or district offices and get to know their staff. It’s helpful to have those relationships, especially in the future when you’re asking for their support on legislation, or a regulatory or personal issue. You may also participate in stakeholder meetings to provide the patient/consumer perspective via the Internet or phone when an event is taking place in Washington, D.C., or elsewhere. If you are interested in participating in Oley’s advocacy efforts, check the website and Facebook page regularly; updates are posted as policy initiatives arise. | 348013840 |

As part of our #WasteDialog around the 2017 Global Dialogue On Waste, we are publishing Q&A from organizations that featured in our Waste Pioneers list. This Q&A is with Food Recovery Network.
Food Recovery Network (FRN) believes that food recovery — the process of donating surplus food rather than sending it to landfills — is a simple, effective, and sustainable solution to broader environmental and social problems.
Food Recovery Network works to unite student leaders on college campuses to fight food waste and hunger by recovering surplus food that would otherwise go to waste and donating it to partner agencies like homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and food pantries. In just six years, FRN has grown to be the largest student movement against food waste and hunger in the country, with 230 chapters in 44 states and DC that have donated over two million pounds of food. FRN envisions a nation where food recovery is the norm, not the exception.
What isn’t always communicated about waste is that college students themselves are too often affected by food insecurity — and our communities produce enough food to feed those most in need, and then some. According to a 2016 “Hunger on Campus” survey of college students, 48 percent of respondents reported food insecurity in the previous 30 days, and 22 percent of these students experienced such low levels of food security that they qualified as hungry. These statistics are even more drastic on community college campuses, where 25 percent of students qualified as having very low food security. Not only are these statistics that we can do something about, these stats are also people we see everyday whom we can feed and support during difficult times.
From what we’ve seen and heard from our chapters across the country, students are becoming more and more concerned about food insecurity on their own campuses. Many of our FRN chapters are designing and implementing proactive and creative approaches to address student hunger in their communities, whether it’s through on-campus student food pantries or providing much-needed cooking supplies to students in need. They’re also collaborating with several established groups on their campuses addressing the issue of student food insecurity.
So, while our students are leading the charge against food waste and hunger in incredible and inspiring ways, it’s also important to realize that college students are also struggling with food insecurity. Oh, and by the way, those two schools I mentioned together have recovered and donated over 9,000 pounds of food to their local communities.
As the largest student movement against food waste and hunger in the country, we’re always looking for ways to stay at the forefront of these issues. As time flows, the problems of waste and hunger change in how they are manifested. That change demands that FRN be two steps ahead and flexible to combat these two complex issues. FRN is a pioneer in the fight to reduce food waste at the source and to ensure that when there is surplus food, a system is established and maintained in order that the food goes to those who need it most.
Our network is constantly sharing new ideas and creating innovative solutions to these prevalent problems. We have student leaders at 230 chapters in 44 states and D.C.– thousands & thousands of students helping us to understand trends and critical issues across the country and always moving us forward.
FRN’s model offers a national backing to supporting local solutions to food issues that affect people in every corner of the country. We understand that we can’t tackle this widespread issue with a one-size-fits-all approach, but the model we’ve developed has proven immensely successful over the years. Our dedicated national team works to support all of our student leaders as they execute the steps to establish a food recovery program on campus, including comprehensive food safety training.
Food waste and hunger look different in every community and so, by necessity, food recoveries operate differently too. This could mean delivering surplus food via bicycle in Costa Mesa, California or gleaning produce from farmers markets in Houston, Texas. We’re constantly gathering large amounts of information from our students and turning that information into something useful to our students. We have to develop lots of resources for our students to ensure they can keep evolving and reaching more ambitious goals. It take a lot of work, but having a diffuse program model demands this, and at the national office, we love it. We’re passionate about what we do, and we have a very high standard of work we maintain for our students.
Are there any recent campaigns from Food Recovery Network that you would like to share details of?
We’re always working on something new at FRN. This past May, we were so excited to have our Move Out for Hunger event featured in a video by Upworthy.
We joined forces with national non-profit Move Out for Hunger to collect unused, non-perishable food from students on move-out day at five college campuses. When students move out of their residence halls, they tend to throw a lot of things away, including perfectly good food. In our first year doing this collaborative event, we were able to recover more than 5,000 pounds of food, which translates to 4,000 meals. We’re looking forward to making this event even bigger next year!
We’re also so proud of the launch of our first-ever Student and Alumni Advisory Board. We’ve assembled a group of 13 dedicated and passionate leaders who will support our movement by providing feedback to FRN National, supporting fulfilling the work of FRN’s three-year strategic plan, of which we are currently just entering into the second year, and engaging leaders across our network. They’re set to make our student-led movement stronger than ever this year.
And as we look toward the future of our work, we know that we have to continue bringing folks into the movement. Our work wouldn’t be possible without the hardworking and consistent volunteers who donate their time to fight food waste and feed people in need. We recently launched our “Find More FRNds” campaign. A “FRNd” in this instance is someone on a campus who commits to volunteering with the chapter. Find More FRNds has two purposes. First, to help students across our network build their volunteer pipeline and second, to share resources and tips on recruiting more volunteers. Working with a student population means that we need to constantly recruit new volunteers as people graduate, leave for study abroad programs, or take on new time commitments. As our movement continues to grow, we know that we have to invest in our best asset: people.
One of the themes for the bWW 2017 Global Dialog on Waste is Collective Action. How do you think Collective Action relates to Food Recovery Network’s work? Who are the stakeholders that play in part in ensuring this collective action?
Collective action is exactly what makes FRN’s work so dynamic. Being part of this movement means working together to move the needle on food waste and hunger. We at FRN know that while food waste and hunger are national — and truly, global — issues, many of the best solutions will come from those working directly on these issues — those at the frontlines. Creative solutions to these problems that work in California might not make sense for Iowa — and that’s okay. Collective action means that we all share the same fundamental understanding that there is a way to tackle this issue and commit our ideas, time, and resources to ending food waste and hunger in our communities.
FRN is proud to partner with stakeholders across a number of sectors. And every stakeholder in our movement plays a vital role in the fight against food waste: from the students who lead recoveries to the university dining providers who work with them to the nonprofit partner agencies that ensure the surplus food gets to those who need it most to the financial supporters who are committed to helping our movement grow. We’re constantly working to build new relationships and bridge the gap between institutions of higher education and the communities they operate to foster community partnerships that will lead to a stronger, more inclusive food system for us all. | 99741546 |
Story Starters is a new programme that has been made possible by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery. It will make a life-changing difference to the lives of 1,800 nursery children through the support of over 500 volunteers by 2019, ensuring that they start primary school ready to read.
Launching initially in the North West of England, we will be spreading across the country in the next two years so please make sure to register your interest as a Story Starter volunteer or a nursery.
Trained Story Starter volunteers will provide caring and fun one-to-one support to a child in a local nursery, aiding their language development and introducing them to the magic of stories.
Along with the trained, caring support provided by Story Starter volunteers, each child will receive high-quality resources from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library so that they can enjoy the magic of stories at home.
Story Starters is a collaborative project between Beanstalk, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, and LuCiD (University of Liverpool). Each partner brings their own skills and experience, meaning that we have specialists leading on each aspect of Story Starters.
Beanstalk is a national children’s literacy charity which will recruit, train, and support Story Starter volunteers.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library will provide every Story Starter child with high-quality, professionally selected, age-appropriate books. These books will be sent directly to the home of each Story Starter child, ensuring that they can enjoy the magic of stories at home.
LuCiD is a project based at the University of Liverpool to help transform our understanding of how children learn through language and communication. They’ll be providing ground-breaking research and evaluation to help ensure that Story Starters is having the best possible impact in making sure young children start school ready to read.
Story Starters has been made possible by players of People's Postcode lottery. People's Postcode Lottery Dream Fund chose Story Starters to receive £1 million in funding in January 2017. | 192065375 |

Kindred Skincare founder and creator, Frances Thrasher, shares her fall skincare regimen.
The air is still warm and humid, but the promise of fall is in the cool breeze that greets me each morning. Without a doubt, fall is my favorite time of year and I am already prepping for the changes. Even though the weather has not completely changed, I am already transitioning my skincare to stay ahead of the challenges to my skin.
Very often my lips are the first thing to show the reduction in humidity, they chap very easily, and I never go anywhere without my clear Lip Plump. So easy to keep in my purse, car, and desk to always be at the ready. The organic Dehydrasome yeast in the formula is drawn to the moisture in our lips where it binds with the moisture to create a series of interlocked vesicles in a basket weave structure that swell and minimize the appearance of fine lines and gently plump the lips. This binding effect can also help prevent trans-epidermal water loss to increase moisturization. Also, yeast itself is an excellent source of amino acids, protein, B vitamins and other minerals the have excellent nutritive and conditioning qualities. In other words, this pepperminty plump can help prevent chapped lips by sealing in moisture with the organic goodness of yeast!
Cooler weather can also mean the beginning of drier skin and potentially dry flaky patches. Exfoliation is important year-round to remove the buildup of dry skin that can harbor bacteria, cause breakouts and prevent our moisturizers from being fully effective. But we need to be very gentle in how we scrub our delicate facial tissues and increased wind and cold can make people with sensitive skin shy away from all exfoliants. We have the perfect answer: our Clay Mask. As with all our products, there is oil in our Clay Mask which prevents it from being an over-drying tight mask. Preservative-free, you mix the mask when you are ready to use. Simple shake the black emulsion packet and pour the clay packet directly into the black packet and stir until mixed. Clay is very sensitive to the ambient humidity, and you want the mask to be a light mousse-like texture, so add water if needed. The combination of clays, botanicals, and fruit acids will gently exfoliate and leave you feeling refreshed without over stripping or leaving you dry.
Fall nights are the perfect time to add a thicker butter-based moisturizer to your facial routine. Our fabulous Intense Moisture is just as described, Intense! The tamanu butter-based moisturizer is filled with the anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, nutty goodness of the tamanu nut from Africa. The regenerative qualities of tamanu have been used for generations to help with wound and scar healing, and the bounty of fatty acids leave the skin fortified and nourished! The addition of Sandalwood and Palmarosa add to the anti-inflammatory properties of this amazing moisturizer. After cleansing, rub Intense Moisture between the fingers to allow the emollient butter to melt and then apply to your face for a treat richer than any Pumpkin Latte!
Fall allergies afflict so many people, spring is not the only allergy season! Fall blooming grasses, falling leaves and other environmental contaminants can make your under eyes puffy, red and irritated. Under Eye Treat is just the answer! Coffee butter, fennel, and cypress oil are diuretics that can help the under-eye area appear less inflamed without overstimulating or causing more irritation. Aloe, rose hip, arnica and rose geranium can help with darkness and moisturize.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Julie! | 165584497 |

Cliff Kincaid has two very interesting articles regarding the Boston Bombings. The first is about the curious Russian intelligence involvement. May be the Rusky cold-war operatives which includes ex KGB chief Vladimir Putin are still up to their old tricks.
The second questions the mysterious disappearance of the Saudi sent back home, you know, the one who was arrested, set free, wound up in hospital, was visited by Michelle Obama then got a free ride out of the country. Oh, and Homeland Security boss super sleuth Napolitano denies all knowledge.
A short 30 minute You Tube video has surfaced regarding the mystery man the cowardly media will not air not even conservatives such as The Drudge Report. A movie whereby Cliff Kincaid talks about a man, long dead who has a 600 page FBI dossier, was a member of the Communist Party USA #47544. A published pornographer using the President Obama’s mother Ann Dunham as a model in x rated poses. A man that bears a striking resemblance to Barack Obama right down to the moles on his face.
Who is this man that the media do not want you to know about or the connections he had with the now President of the United States?
You deserve to know at this critical juncture in the US Election cycle.
Did Castro have JFK assassinated?
Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media has an interesting review of Brian Latell’s new book Castro’s Secrets.
Castro’s role in the JFK murder has been the subject of controversy for decades. In 2009, on one of the Sunday interview programs, ABC News correspondent Sam Donaldson said that he wanted to ask Fidel Castro before he died, “Did you do it? Meaning November 22, 1963.” This was the date of Lee Harvey Oswald’s assassination of JFK.
Of course this is not new news and no doubt the skeptics will cry conspiracy but, nonetheless, it makes for interesting reading. Whatever the result, JFK’s murder violates God’s will and the perpetrators and accomplices will stand accountable before God (Romans 2:6; Hebrews 9:27). Further, He will carry through with His vengeance, for “vengeance is mine, I will repay” (Romans 12:19). | 318367224 |

Giving your home a makeover may be high on your to-do-list but where do you start? THe garden’s a mess, the wallpaper is peeling, the driveway is sinking, the roof is leaking. It can be a daunting task to face if things have been seriously neglected. But have no fear, it’s all fixable. The best way to get things rolling is to prioritise the tasks which demand the most attention. Create a list. What is really urgent? What can you live with for a year or two? What really doesn’t bother you at all? First and foremost, anything that could cause a hazard to the home’s inhabitants must be dealt with. Then anything that might, if left unattended, lead to further damage. After that your list should just be your own tastes and preferences – if you love a nice exterior get that fixed first. If you really want a beautifully furnished interior, go for it.
Let’s look at some of the most common home makeover projects , and where they should be on your priority list.
Broken Roof Tiles – Best to get those looked at asap. The strange thing about roofs is we tend not to pay much attention to them unless there’s been a heavy storm. But if neglected a leaky roof will lead to a heap of headaches. Water ingress might not be spotted for years, and during that time trestles, and joists can be seriously damaged. This could result in an entire roof renovation. The cost of which will certainly be prohibitively expensive to most homeowners. Periodic roof checks are a surefire way of spotting a problem before it gets out of hand.
Exterior Painting – A lick of paint does more than just freshen things up. Making sure your home’s exterior has a new coat of paint every few years will prevent corrosion no matter what the material. Wooden cladding especially will benefit for an occasional paint job or varnishing, and cracks to brick and masonry should be filled with repair cements and painted over to stop further damage.
Overgrown Gardens – Make no mistake, a neglected garden can be more damaging to a property than just making it look unsightly. Tree roots, creepers, and heavy foliage can have negative effects of walls, fences and driveways. It’s best to have a regular pruning schedule for the more problematic areas of a garden. If don’t have green thumbs maybe consider calling in a qualified gardener or tree surgeon.
Interior Design – Once you’ve got the big issues out the way it’s time to make the interior look fabulous for the family. Maybe you have the style and panache to create your own themes, or maybe you just have a sketchy plan of what you’d like. If so there are many designers around who can assist in making your dreams come true. Companies like Sisalla Interior Design are on hand to help homeowners with every aspect of the design process. | 174667307 |

Eight members of civil society organizations in Manipur will today meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi today. They will meet the Prime Minister over the proposed Naga Peace Accord.
In 2015, a draft peace pact known as the Framework Agreement was signed between the centre and the armed group NSCN(IM). They aim to form a ‘Greater Nagaland’ with a much extended territory.
This has sparked serious concerns in neighbouring states Assam and Manipur, about possible loss of state territories. The centre has assured that state boundaries would not be touched.
With assembly elections in Nagaland due next year, the peace accord is likely to be formalised, but the proposed deal is increasing tension across the northeast.
The Manipur civil society groups have not ruled out violent protest if the Framework Agreement with the armed group NSCN(IN) messed with the state’s boundary.
“If the framework agreement is only for Nagaland, give them whatever they want — sovereignty, flag, passport, whatever,” said Johnson Elangbam, chief the United Committee Manipur, who is leading the group to meet with PM Modi.
Johnson Elangbam and members of other civil society groups such as the All Manipur United Clubs’ Organization, and the Committee on Civil Societies have been in Delhi since December 16.
The citizens group have already met BJP Chief Amit Shah, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Sitaram Yechury and Congress president Rahul Gandhi. | 58330151 |

Well here's the skinny on the work update.
The current wave is supposed to be done by the end of March.
The next (and final) wave is supposed to be done in August - yes August. Another summer spend in Erie, bahh!!
And I am no longer in the hotel (apparently 160k marriott points was enough) I'm in a "wonderful" corporate apartment. As one of my co-workers desrcibes it "a trailer court with foundations" - beautiful.
The only silver lining, this software we're implementing is still supposed to sell like a Mo-Fo, and it's selling like crazy in Europe right now, and they are so short on resouces they are even looking for resources in the US, so I'm hoping to roll onto the project in the UK - working in the downtown London office, that'll work for me!
How cool is this. The only drawbacks are only 800x480 resolution (but I guess it't only a 5" screen) and I think it should run XP tablet edition, but maybe that's version 1.1 or 2.0. What a cool toy, who needs a PDA, there is a sacrifice in speed of course, but wow, neat-o!!
So finally a brief update. So Chirstmas was good. The best part, the two week break from work, it was nice. And I put into effect my new policy, if I didn't get what I wanted for Christmas, I bought. | 63673532 |
