Melissa and Carlos – Hawaii Wedding Photographer
Melissa and Carlos were planning a vacation to Hawaii to visit family members and decided it would be the perfect time and place to join their lives together. They had a small celebration with Melissa's immediate family on Papa'iloa beach on the North Shore of Oahu. It was a very special ceremony in part because Melissa's brother officiated the wedding which was extremely important her. The couple told me that Papa'iloa was the perfect spot for their ceremony as it encompassed everything about Hawaii that they loved. The beautiful mountains in the distance, the gorgeous Hawaiin sun, and the green rocks that lined the shore.
We had initially arrived on a very rainy day, and with Hawaiin weather you never know how long the storm is going to last. We waited it out in hopes that we could still get some great photos, but ultimately decided to come back the next day. The next day was as perfect as could be, and to top it all off it was New Years Eve! What a perfect way to celebrate the new year as a married couple.

Homeopathy is an ancient form of medicine which uses remedies made from diluted natural substances to 'treat like with like', enabling the body to free itself from symptoms and regain its equilibrium.
The first consultation with the homeopath will take about one and a half hours, to give time for the homeopath to begin to understand the new patient as a whole person who is experiencing particular symptoms. This total picture is matched closely with a homeopathic remedy which is then prescribed for the patient to take as tablets or drops and reviewed in a briefer follow up appointment with the homeopath usually after about one month.
For more information on homeopathy, please consult the site of the Society of Homeopaths: www.homeopathy-soh.org

RYE, N.Y. -- Rye town volunteer media coordinator Dick Hubert has provided a brief summary of developments from the Rye town board meeting held on Tuesday, Dec. 16.
1) 2015 Town of Rye Budget Passed. The 2015 Town of Rye budget passed unanimously 5-0, but buried in the budget and touched on in the public discussions are issues which will be the subject of ongoing public and private debate and the campaign for Rye Town offices in 2015.
2) A Small Step Toward Government Downsizing. The Town Board was apprised by Assessor Denise Knauer that the Village of Mamaroneck had eliminated its property assessing function and would in the future rely on the Rye Town Assessment Office's numbers for Rye Neck. Because the Village of Mamaroneck and Rye Town have different property rolls, a fair amount of work will need to be conducted to reconcile those properties where the records differ. The expectation is that about 10 percent of the 2,300 properties will need to be reconciled.
3) Proceeds Of Sale Of Rye Town Hall. Now that the Rye Town Hall has been sold, and the proceeds banked, Supervisor Joe Carvin suggested that some of the money ($900,000) be used for capital improvements at Rye Town Park and at Crawford Park. He asked Councilman Bob Nioras if he (Nioras) could revisit the study he did some years ago showing the extent of capital improvements needed.
4) Odds and Ends 1) Town Attorney Paul Noto reported that enough property owners, faced with foreclosure, have paid their back taxes that the number of "problem" properties has been reduced to four or five. 2) Supervisor of Highways John DeCrescenzo told the board that he was having difficulty finding contractors who would paint the Otter Creek Bridge. If he could not find a vendor at a reasonable cost, DeCrescenzo postulated that he might recruit volunteers to paint the bridge. 3) Deputy Supervisor Bill Villanova reported that 12 extra burial plots for town veterans, prepaid, had been discovered in the records of the Greenwood Cemetery. This news, he said, would be greeted gratefully by the Town's aging military veterans.

Department or Program
Recently, it appears that the international community has felt compelled to intervene in situations of humanitarian crises. However, such collective action, despite its noble purpose, is in clear violation of the principle of sovereignty. This thesis argues that the meaning of sovereignty has changed from being seen as an inherent, inalienable right of international state system membership to a version that incorporates the responsibility to protect, thus adding an element of accountability and better standards of behavior into sovereignty's definition. By looking at Kosovo, East Timor, and South Ossetia, this thesis tracks the construction of the revised meaning of sovereignty as it observes the way the international community attempts to integrate clashing notions of sovereignty (the principles of nonintervention and territorial integrity) as the existing governing principle of the international system and emerging trends of human rights and humanitarian intervention.

Action Comics #887
- Story by
- Eric Trautmann, Greg Rucka, and James Robinson
- Art by
- Cafu and Pere Perez
- Colors by
- Javier Mena and Santiago Arcas
- Letters by
- Rob Leigh
- Cover by
- Kalman Andrasofszky
- Publisher
- DC Comics
Cafu's "Captain Atom" artwork is nice on the co-feature, but after not having read this series for a few months, I don't really know what's going on in the James Robinson-penned tale. There's dinosaurs, so that's something. And the final page has a dude with a spear mounted atop a giant flying green squid creature. So it can't be all bad.
And as brief as it is, the co-feature is much better than the Nightwing and Flamebird main story. It's so much better that I'm baffled about how "Action Comics" has kept any readers at all over the past year.
In this issue, which is capably drawn by Pere Perez but doesn't look much different from any other mediocre DC comic of recent vintage, Nightwing and Flamebird (who have been the lead characters in this book for the past twelve months, as Superman has been off doing his not-very-interesting thing on New Krypton), the protagonists fight God. Well, their god at least, the god Rao. "A mad god, rampaging across the Middle East."
Remember the recent "Justice Society of America" arc by Geoff Johns, in which Gog marched across the landscape, raising questions of divinity and humanity and the role of the superhero? This is a much weaker version of that story, with Rao (or "Rao," since he's not exactly acting like the real deal) lacking the personality of Gog, who wasn't all that interesting himself.
And, perhaps worst of all, the story is mostly narrated through the form of a story filed by Lois Lane. Lois, a war correspondent of a sort in this tale, reports back with what she sees, and her posts are insipid, poorly written, and thin on journalistic detail. They read like blog posts from an amateur, not examples of professional reportage. Lois Lane, in the DCU, is an award-winning journalist. You wouldn't know it from her weak writing skills here.
The Nightwing and Flamebird story hinges on the reader caring about what happens to the characters. And it's just difficult to do so. Greg Rucka and Eric Trautmann haven't made their protagonists interesting. Not in this issue. And not in any previous issues I've read. But, as I said in the beginning, I haven't stayed with this series all year. I drifted away from it last fall, because it wasn't very good back then.
Checking in this week, it seems that it hasn't gotten any better at all. And with Lois' clumsy "journalistic" narration, it's possibly worse than ever.

Spotted on RABid this morning:
Greed is not a dirty word
Really? From the Houghton-Mifflin Thesaurus:
greed, noun
Excessive desire for more than one needs or deserves: acquisitiveness, avarice, avariciousness, avidity, covetousness, cupidity, graspingness.
I know it's a right-wing specialty to "newspeak" the English language to their benefit, but this is pretty ridiculous. I seem to remember some bit of advice in the Bible about not coveting your neighbor's stuff. Hell, greed was explicitly listed as one of Christianity's seven deadly sins.

Catastrophic Injuries Are Often Severe and Life-Altering
"Severe injuries can have life-long consequences for you and your family. Our attorneys will fight to ensure you are appropriately compensated for your injuries."
There is a wide range of different types of catastrophic injuries our attorneys can handle at Saunders Law Group in Bartow, FL. Thomas C. Saunders and K.C. Bouchillon can provide you with professional representation and ensure that you receive fair and just compensation for your injuries. Severe injuries can have life-long consequences for you and your family. Our attorneys will fight to ensure you are appropriately compensated for your injuries. Contact our law firm today to schedule a consultation and discuss the legal options available to you.
Types of Injuries
There are a variety of injuries a person may sustain in a personal injury case. In addition to the extensive medical treatment that these injuries require, most victims also require counseling to learn to cope with the permanent damage they have suffered. Some of the most common injuries we see include:
Burn Injuries
A burn injury can range from mild to severe. Moderate to severe cases typically include burns that are second or third degree. These burns often cover large areas of the body and will require multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and physical therapy to recover. Even with skin grafts and plastic surgery, severe burns are likely to result in significant scarring. This can have a negative impact on your confidence, self-image, and, ultimately, your quality of life.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Mild spinal cord injuries may result in muscle weakness, and strength can often be regained through extensive physical therapy. In more severe cases, however, a spinal cord injury can result in partial or total paralysis. Paralysis may include just the lower portion of the body, known as paraplegia, or it may include everything below the neck, known as quadriplegia. In either case, a spinal cord injury will likely require multiple surgeries, extended hospital stays, and physical therapy. If paralyzed, you will need either a standard or motorized wheel chair. Most people have to make modifications to their homes and vehicles, and some victims may also require long-term care.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
No two brain injuries are alike, so they can be difficult to accurately diagnose. In some cases, symptoms may not appear for days or even several weeks, making diagnosis that much more difficult. Symptoms to look for in potential brain injury victims include:
- Changes in mood, behaviors, and sleep patterns
- Frequent nausea or vomiting
- Problems with coordination, walking or speaking
- Confusion
- Drainage from the nose or ears
A TBI can cause permanent damage, including lasting changes in personality, motor skills, and more.
Wrongful Death
When the negligence or misconduct of another party results in fatal injury, we will ensure that party is held responsible. We will also seek compensation for outstanding medical bills associated with the injury, in addition to loss of income for your family, and compensation for funeral expenses. Some common accidents that result in wrongful death may include motor vehicle accidents, defective products, slip and fall accidents, and workplace accidents.

Slider Fixed Height
fpcas9431, in DMS & Legacy Products
Recommended Posts
This topic is now closed to further replies.

By wyo22ski+
I'm basically a designer and understand a little on how to change CSS, etc., so please excuse my ignorance... I recently upgraded to the newest platform from the DMS and my old DMS theme no longer functions. I'm trying to replace the image slider that my Horizon Photography Theme (Nick Haskins) had created. The Impulse image slider seemed the closest to what I need, but there are problems.
It seems the the Impulse section for sliding images defaults to the image width, no the height. I can change the Impulse stage height and width, but this does nothing to the internal content. For instance, if I change the height to 200 pixels, the image remains the full width and only shows a cropped section. I would like the ability to change the Impulse height, and have the image height fit space.
I've put this custom CSS in, but again, this only controls the stage height of Impulse:
.pl-sn-impulse .pl-impulse-cell .cell-wrap, .pl-impulse-container, .owl-stage-outer {
width: 100%;
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

Hello there,
We are still using DMS 2 and were wondering if it was at all compatible with slider revolution. (https://codecanyon.net/item/slider-revolution-responsive-wordpress-plugin/2751380). Our issue is that the default revslider for DMS clips the top and sides of videos when made responsive. As the video is made smaller or larger the bottom of it tends to be cut off, or the sides are. We noticed slider revolution was 100% responsive, but have had numerous issues even getting it to display in DMS 2. We have tried using the shortcode, and various php scripts to no avail. Our last attempt was to try and load it with header scripts, but at this point we seem to be further away than ever.
This leads me to a few questions:
1. Is Slider Revolution even compatible with DMS2?
2. Is there a way we can get 100% responsive video in DMS 2 with zero clipping? (tonyrobbins.com is another good example of the effect we are trying to achieve.)
3. If Slider Revolution is compatible, how do we go about adding it in?
Thank you for any help.

Hi. I made this site: www.arvoredacidadania.org.br. In the part Quem Somos and Serviços I used different configurations (1 container and 2 texts side by side; 2 containers: each one with text; or just two texts side by side).
The problem is the height. I tried CSS, etc, but when i change the width, change the height also.
Any ideas?
This picture is the example how i need to do.
I need both textboxs with the same height.

Hi Developers, I wasn't sure what the best way to get feedback was but didn't really want to put this in the facebook group, I did put this in the slack developers group but trying to figure out the fastest way to get feedback. I am starting a new site for a client and was looking through the showcase to see if there were any samples for slider modifications like I am trying to do for our build and couldn't find them. Basically I want to have a blue section at the bottom of each slide that has text in it. The text will change with each slide along with the image. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how this modification could be made? Here is a sample of the slider from the design.
By paoloimperiale+
I was wondering if there's a way to modify the slider container size? My client would like it skinner- not as tall. How would you suggest doing that?
Thank you.

So the special days tend to come by, whether it be a birthday for a loved on or your tenth anniversary of being a wedded couple – whatever it is, this call for a little celebration and a little heart-felt gift. The fact that you have reached and surpassed yet another milestone in your life is quite astounding, which is why this would deserve a little celebration, maybe a glass of wine and a little cheese on cracker. Anything would be appropriate as long as you and the others involved are content and happy. The choice of which gift to get would be a little more difficult, as their preferences are different to yours in certain departments of life as well as the fact that what they like could change.
Your choices lay out
Something that everyone in this day and age will always appreciate regardless of any other factor that comes into the question would be the gift of an electronic device. For instance with the new invocations, there has been the introduction of Lg G4 Wireless charger concept, which makes life a little easier and this phone is brilliant – when considering all and every aspect. It is all so wonderful and the choice of electronics and the parts that allow them to run smoothly would also be in the list of appropriate gifts.
Another option to consider
Well, it is not just the basic new additions; there is also the new wireless receiver case for iphone, which seemed only like the unattainable dream just a decade back. Times are changing, and with how things are now, the best fit would be to find something that fits with the time so as your loved one could feel quite up-to-date with technology and allow them a convenient lifestyle that you have contributed to by being the thoughtful gift giver you are. As what really matters in a gift is the understanding that you have taken your time to get to know the person that you are gifting to and the present you bought them was not something you randomly chose off a website.
Things will go well
Everything will fall into place as you work on them with time, from the event you are organizing to the presents you plan on buying. It must be remembered that this is about you and the ones involved and what makes all of you happy needs to be done. And you will most certainly see the best of results in a matter of time when the results come.

An Academic Reflection.
TopTenTeacher has been quiet recently but has now returned. It is great to see plenty of visitors making the most of what is on offer while I have been away. It has been months since I have posted anything and it is about time to get back in the saddle, and get on with it. The reason it has been quiet is because I have been doing some studying which should mean that come November I will be awarded the title of MSc. It has been a long journey beginning in 2010, studying part time but as of yesterday my final assignment was submitted. Now I have time to focus on the website.
Should you do it?
For anyone thinking of doing some additional study, I would highly recommend taking the leap. It can be done at the same time as a full time job but don't expect an easy ride. Balancing work and study is tricky but at least, as a teacher holidays can be used for catchup. If you are not a teacher, make the most journeys to work and any free time that comes your way. Having said that, working part-time for the last 6 months has helped me maintain my sanity.
Why do it?
You know all that stuff you read on the internet? What about the things SLT says which just don't seem quite right? Well it is likely that you are not getting the full picture. Study at a higher levels will help to know who to believe and who is talking out their **se. This is particularly a problem in education which seems to be full of fads and false promises. Next time Neil from SLT asks you to incorporate Pose, Pause, Pounce and Bounce questioning into your lessons, take a moment. Do some research, start here. Continue until you find out where Neil got his facts from; ask him why he thinks this approach is appropriate if needs be. Use google scholar; its free, and reading the abstracts of academic literature should be enough to discover if Neil is talking edubabble. Just be aware the more you read the better informed you will be. Of course not many teachers have that much free time so there are a few short cuts. The Education Endowment Foundation's toolkit is a great place to start. It takes into account, cost, evidence and impact of various interventions. Research Ed provides some influential opinions with easy to absorb videos. However, remember they are opinions and it is better to do your own research to be certain of how you want to approach the next 'big thing' in eduction.
My message.
To be clear studying an MSc has lead me to appreciate how difficult it is to be certain about anything in eduction. Questions about how to improve learning outcomes should be used alongside questions about what do we want students to learn. Also, is the curriculum relevant? Are students being taught to pass exams? Will students use anything they have learnt in school when they leave? What I am certain about is that most teachers have had enough of the next 'big thing'. Classrooms should not be places where school leaders experiment with random pedagogy. Also teachers should not be expected to deliver the curriculum in a manner that has no proven effect on learning outcomes. Teachers teach the way they think works best and for them and actually it usually does. Only when 'experts' get involved that everything goes t*ts up. Nothing is worse for a teacher than going into a classroom and feeling like a content delivery robot. Teachers should be the ones deciding what is best for their students, Neil should focus on what is best for his teachers.
Going forward.
Neil should not be pushing to get his performance management targets are met with school wide adoption of PPPB. However, he should be allowed a place to experiment with new pedagogies. This place should be somewhere academics are allowed to visit, take out a pen and paper and take measurements. Measurements do not involve sitting and recording if students were engaged in learning activities. Measurements involve recording the effects of an intervention on learning outcomes. Anyone who has tried to measure learning outcomes will know it is not a simple process (I know) but must be done to provide any meaningful evidence. Then, and only then, should teachers decide if the next big thing in education is worth paying attention to.

Yasmin Elayat (18 Days in Egypt): You are reaching out or building instead of just broadcasting or showcasing something. You're actually making the public become immersed, influencing them, how they interact with the world itself. 'I'm sitting at the table with you having a conversation': this is how I see interactivity.
Jonathan Harris (Number 27): Call and response, input-output, you do something and you receive some feedback. I like the example of kids and how they interact physically with the world.
Mike Robbins (Helios Design Labs): To interact involves a transaction or transmission, it can happen in any format: around the fire, reading a book or watching an interactive documentary.
Katie Edgerton (MIT Open Documentary Lab Alumni): It's a different way of engagement. It gives people a different kind of focus. Interaction allows people to take action, see how they can navigate through the world.
Robert K. Logan (University of Toronto): For me it is the possibility for two minds to exchange ideas. If I have an apple and you have an apple and we exchange the apples, each of us still has one apple. But if we exchange two ideas, each of us has two ideas. Interactivity makes us richer. Reading and poetry are very interactive: And remember what Marshall Mcluhan said: 'the user is the content'.
Bjarke Myrthu (Blind Spot): Interactivity is this umbrella term which spans to the structure, which is non-linear, of the narrative. Another component is user engagement, and the collaboration stuff has to be taken into account as well.
Paulina Tervo (writethisdown): Interactivity can happen on several levels: you interact with other people, with the content, with modes of navigation, etc.
Richard Lachman (Ryerson University): There are a lot of definitions depending on the different fields. My favourite definition involves the idea that interactivity is a conversation: the most interactive object is another human being. I really like the way how we interact with books as well.
Paul Levinson (Fordham University): It's me talking to you. Senders can become receivers and vice versa. Two people talking in person.
Jeremy Mendes (National Film Board of Canada): It's anywhere between activating a scroll bar, deciding where you will go, etc.

Zoe' in Gold Original Pastel
Pastels are a rare thing these days. Paul has found it difficult to find good paper to use. This saddens me as his original pastels are some of my favourite pieces of his work. I love the softness, the way you can see the gentleness of the strokes. The way the colors glitter in the light, but still hold a humble power. Enjoy this Original Pastel, you will be seeing less and less, as Paul can not find what he needs to give a final presentation to his satisfaction. KatiJane M.

Hold on to your wallets, Medicare drug plan participants. With Medicare open enrollment running through Dec. 7, seniors are in for a financial shock.
Current enrollees who have a stand-alone Medicare Part D plan are facing an average 9 percent increase in premiums if they stay with their plan, according to an analysis released by the Kaiser Family Foundation. That's bad news for older adults who will be getting a measly 0.3 percent cost-of-living raise in Social Security benefits.
Kaiser projects the average monthly premium to rise to $42.17 in 2017, from $38.57 this year. Of course, average premiums are expected to vary across plans and states. They range from $16.81 to $71.66 per month for 2017 plans. And monthly premiums across states go from a low of $31.27 in New Mexico to a high of $50.95 in New Jersey, on average.
Stand-alone prescription plans, known as PDPs, are offered as a supplement to Traditional Medicare. Of the 41 million Americans enrolled in Medicare drug coverage plans, 60 percent are in these stand-alones. Beneficiaries usually have a choice of 22 PDPs, on average, which is fewer than in any year since 2006.
Yet, the the variety of choices can be substantial, prompting experts to urge enrollees to carefully study their choices.
"With rising prescription drug costs looking like a near-certainty moving forward," writes one advocate in The Motley Fool, "seniors need to be diligent in their efforts to pick out a PDP that suits their needs best."
- Shop around and don't limit yourself to PDPs. Depending on your circumstances, Medicare Advantage plans might be the better deal. Visit Medicare.gov's Plan Finder for guidance.
- Make sure to research what tier your prescription drugs fall into. A five-tier system is used by most PDPs, and the higher tier for more specialized and costly drugs costs more out of pocket.
- Always ask your doctor for generics. They can be considerably cheaper and as effective.
- Pay attention to co-pay and co-insurance provisions in your drug plan. Co-payments are flat fees per prescription, while co-pays are a percentage of the total prescription cost. If you tend to take prescription drugs in the upper-cost tiers, you could be on the hook for a lot more money. And there are no annual out-of-pocket limits with Medicare.

White tea's Tea
Chinese emperors drink "metal"
White tea is very capricious in their storage conditions. Even a small increase or decrease in temperature can cause the leaves do not unfold in the right measure, and hence the taste will be lost. In traditional Chinese medicine it corresponds to the fifth element-the element — "metal" which is associated with white color. In Russia it is an infrequent visitor, find luxury real white tea varieties in the free market is very difficult, because it is quite picky for transportation.

Zagreb: The trial of former Croatian prime minister Ivo Sanader on charges that he received kickbacks from an Austrian bank has resumed.
The start of the trial was adjourned a week ago when Sanader complained of heart problems. He is the highest ranking former Croat official to face corruption charges.
Sanader is charged with abuse of power for allegedly taking some USD 695,000 (EUR 503,000) for a multimillion credit deal with Hypo Alpe Adria Group in 1994-95 that allowed the Austrian bank entry into the Croatian market.
He was extradited to Croatia from Austria in July to face several separate charges of corruption.
The trial is seen as Croatia`s test on whether it can carry its pledge to the EU that it will fight corruption before it joins the bloc in 2013.

Storm Water Management
Storm Water Management is the idea of managing storm water and creating a level of awareness that promotes and enforces the overall protection of water resources as it relates to storm water bound pollutants. Storm Water Management is a policy of regulations enacted and enforced by RI Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM). The RI Pollution Discharge Elimination System (RIPDES) section is responsible for the overall enforcement of the Rules and Regulations pertinent to EPA Guidelines.
Under the RIPDES program all municipal governmental agencies, such as Burrillville, must have a five year plan in place to address storm water related concerns, issues and promote an educational program to make residents of the community aware of the impacts on water quality to our local rivers, streams, ponds and lakes that storm water has. This section of the Town of Burrillville's web page discusses and provides information on RIPDES regulations as they affect our community and discuss some programs and projects you can expect to see as a result of these regulations.
Basically RIPDES regulations state that all municipalities that own and operate a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4), which in simple terms is basically the many drainage conveyance systems throughout the town that convey storm water from the town owned buildings, parking lots and roads to the local tributaries that ultimately drain to the Blackstone River, that the community provide a plan to address the following Best Management Practice (BMP) criteria:
- Public Education and Outreach
- Public Participation/Involvement
- Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination
- Construction Site Runoff
- Post-Construction Site Runoff
- Pollution Prevention & Good Housekeeping
- DRAFT Phase II Storm Water Annual Report
Over the course of the last two years the Town of Burrillville Planning and Public Works Departments along with the help of the local fire departments, schools and Conservation Commission has developed a five year action plan that specifically addresses RIDEM's requirements under the EPA Phase II Storm Water Management Rules.
Burrillville's Storm Water Management Plan is available at both the Department of Public Works and the Planning Office for public review. If you would like to learn more about storm water management and what you can do to help right in your own home (click here). The downloadable brochures in the EPA's webpage are available at the Burrillville Town Hall and at the Department of Public Works.

Gail Gitcho, a political strategist who served as a top communications staffer for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, is now joining Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's possible run in 2016, CNN reports.
The pro-Jindal Believe Again super PAC's hiring of Gitcho is the latest in several steps toward Jindal seeking the GOP presidential nomination.
Gitcho, a former RNC press secretary, also previously served as communications director for the Republican Governors Association.
The move comes even as Jindal has been consistently trying to distance himself from "establishment" Republicans. But other potential Republican nominees also have been scooping up experienced campaign staffers in recent weeks.

Edgecam Workflow er en markedsledende CAM-programvare som er spesielt designet for produksjonsbedrifter for å redusere kostnader, øke kvalitet og oppnå kortere leveringstider.
Akslerert fremstilling av optimal CNC-kode
Workflow forstår CAD-modellens oppbygning og egenskaper, noe som gjør at programmeringsprosessen blir så optimal som mulig.
Med Workflow reduseres tidsforbruken til fremstilling av NC-kode betraktelig, samtidig som prosessen ivaretar sikkerheten, slik at muligheten til mennesklige feil reduseres så mye som mulig.
Les mer...
Workflow - I fem steg
- File: Adopting the common Microsoft Office 2010 theme, this allows users to efficiently manage files and folders.
- Set-Up: Dynamically sets up datum position, adds stock and fixtures through the interactive stock, fixture and machine manager functions.
- Features: Using Edgecam's powerful automatic feature recognition, all types of manufacturing features can be found.
- Machining: The Planning board applies a suggested order of manufacture, which can be manipulated easily by drag and drop techniques.
- NC Code: The toolpath is then simulated in the machine simulator, checking for collisions, gauges and limit over travel. The toolkit can be reviewed and edited before NC code is generated to complete the five-stage Workflow process.
Loading and positioning the component
Now fully automatic. In many CAM systems the user has to manually set the environment and use traditional commands to create a datum.
Manufacturing method and suitable machine tools
The user is presented with a list of suitable machine tools based on the component's geometry, ensuring machine limits are respected.
Adding user-defined stock, or stock from a database
Based on the components dimensions, a selection of defined stock materials are listed which allows a suitable stock to be easily applied.
Importing fixtures
User defined fixtures, including vices, chuck and clamps can be applied using the fixture manager.
Managing strategies to aid manufacture
Edgecam engineers have derived suggested methods of manufacture to machine the part on a feature-by-feature basis, with logical cutters path.
These processes are used as 'toolpath accelerators' allowing users, if required to add additional inputs to produce the exact toolpath required for their processes. However, it is also possible with the addition of Edgecam Strategy Manager module the user can update the manufacturing Strategies to match the companies' manufacturing processes, so that all manual intervention is removed.

HerStory Ensemble
HerStory Ensemble Newsletter Summer/Fall 2017
HerStory Ensemble's primary goal is to address the social and economic justice issues of homelessness. Our work provides an opportunity to bring focus to the issue of homelessness and advocacy efforts to end it.
Update on Senate Bill 49- Delaware's Homeless Bill of Rights
On June 14, 2017, the Judicial and Community Affairs Committee chaired by Senator Margaret Rose Henry of the Delaware State Senate heard testimony regarding Senate Bill 49 -AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO HOMELESS PERSONS also referred to as the Delaware Homeless Bill of Rights. The bill states that "An individual's housing status should not be a basis for discrimination. This bill establishes a 'Homeless Individual's Bill of Rights' that provides rights to protections for individuals experiencing homelessness, including protections from discrimination while in public and while seeking access to housing, employment, and temporary shelter. This bill vests important investigatory and enforcement authority with the State's Division of Human Relations and the State Human Relations Commission, simialr to their roles with Delaware's Equal Accommodations Law and Delaware's Fair Housing Act."
Both testimony supporting the bill and raising concerns about the bill were offered. A point was raised for the need in clarity regarding some of the bill's language and intent. Most of those signed in to testify did not get an opportunity to do so due to time limitations. Among them was Christina Showalter, Executive Director of the newly formed Housing Alliance Delaware. The bill remains in committee as Senator Bryan Townsend (sponsor of the bill) and others supporting this important legislation address the issues raised. It is our goal to have this legislation pass the Delaware Senate and House of Representatives in 2018.
Please contact HerStory Ensemble for our advocacy postcards to share in community. Help us spread the word that "Discrimination has No Place In Our Great State!"

Lt. Governor Bethany Hall-Long addressing the group regarding homelessness and Healthcare.
By Rhonda Celester
On Sunday afternoon, September 24, 2017, HerStory Ensemble's original first staging of "Peace Train: Next Stop- HOUSING" pulled into the Bear Library as a part of Peace Week Delaware 2017. The mission of "Peace Train" was to bring awareness to the pandemic rise of homelessness throughout the United States by bringing focus to various stories about its causes.
As Conductor Harriett T (DeBorah Gilbert White), made her way through the audience checking tickets and announced the upcoming stops; Hope Avenue, Prosper /Bank Street, Society Hill, and Housing. She transformed the theater into a commuter train and the audience its passengers. Two more riders were to board before journeys' end; Cecelia Wade (Theresa Randall) who boarded at Hope Avenue, and Nouveau Riche (Rhonda Celester) boarding at Prosper /Bank Street. During the commute from Hope Avenue to the last stop Housing, the three women shared their personal stories.
They spoke with passion about unforeseen cataclysmic events, devastating illness, ageism and stability made fragile due to stagnant incomes, and the ever increasing state of an out of control housing market. These issues bring focus to the changing well-worn face of homelessness. People experiencing homelessness are a larger and more diverse group than the most visible individuals who survive on the streets. The women on "Peace Train" were representative of some of them. This dramatization conjured up something powerful. The conversation initiated during and after the interactive performance was indicative of the safe space created by the characters, and allowed the other "passengers" to share their own stories.
Peace Train: Next Stop- Housing was the second event developed by the Community Empowerment Institute (CEI), the educational arm of HerStory Ensemble. For the past five years HerStory Ensemble has collaborated with, and been an ally to other organizations working to get Delaware's Homeless Bill of Rights (SB49) passed and to eradicate the stigma attached to poverty and loss of housing. Contact HerStory Ensemble to book a performance of "Peace Train: Next Stop- Housing".

Summary of National Homeless Awareness Month- November 2017
As we near the end of observing National Homeless Awareness Month 2017, be mindful that there are efforts across the country to pass legislation that supports the digniety and humanity of people experiencing homelessness. In Delaware Senate Bill 49 assures all people regardless of housing status equal access to live in decent, safe, secure, and affordable housing.
"An individual's housing status should not be a basis for discrimination. This bill establishes a 'Homeless Individual's Bill of Rights' that provides rights to protections from discrimination while in public and while seeking access to housing, employment, and temporary shelter." - Senate Bill 49, Delaware State Senate 149th General Assembly

Students claimed they needed the same rights as minorities who are 'often perceived as being subject to prejudice from society.'
This makes me think your claim is bullshit. Minorities are often perceived as being subject to prejudice because in some cases they are in fact subject to prejudice. Your assertion of oppression doesn't become more valid because you cast doubt on other "perceived" cases--oppression isn't a game of King of the Hill where the most oppressed person wins.
Third-year student Samuel Roberts, 21, had proposed a motion calling for more protection. He told the Sunday Times: 'It made an atmosphere in which I felt uncomfortable.'
|This is not an actual picture of Samuel Roberts.
'It is my strong belief that this poses a threat to the atmosphere of intellectual discussion as well as to the welfare of members who may feel victimised.'
Ways in which the Tories are oppressed:
- forced to feel uncomfortable sometimes
- occasionally openly disliked by other people
|Deal with it.
Asked about opponents of gay marriage being described as "bigots" – on one occasion by Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister – Carey said: "Let us remember the Jews in Nazi Germany. What started against them was when they started to be called names."
To clarify: Carey (who, incidentally, is the former archbishop of Canterbury) is saying that opponents of gay marriage are like the Jews in Nazi Germany, because supporters of gay marriage are calling them names. Maybe he misspoke?
[Carey continued,] "And that was the first stage towards that totalitarian state.
Name-calling: UNACCEPTABLE. Implying that your political opponents are attempting to institute a gay-marrying totalitarian state, citing Nazi Germany as a specific example: OKAY.
We have to resist them. We treasure democracy. We treasure our Christian inheritance and we want to debate this in a fair way."
"It's totally unfair for them to call us names and refer to us as bigots, and that's not democracy! Can anyone stop these Nazis?"
Anyway, I should note that Carey is just another Tory supporter, and not someone directly affiliated with the Oxford Tory group--that said, he's hardly an isolated example. The British Parliament is nearing a vote on allowing gay marriage, and it appears that over 100 Tory MPs are set to stage "the biggest Tory party rebellion in modern times" in an effort to stop it from passing. In the UK as in the United States, people have a right to whatever political views they want; that said, it seems to be the height of hypocrisy to protest an atmosphere that makes you feel uncomfortable while you support policies that create an atmosphere that makes other people uncomfortable.
Let's get back to the main article at hand here: Tories at Oxford are being made to feel uncomfortable. What kinds of things are they doing to improve the political discourse, given that they seem so upset about the current state of affairs?
Their cause was not helped when Joe Cooke, a recent president of the Oxford Conservative Association, reportedly upset students as he arrived in a Rolls Royce wearing a silver suit and carrying a silver-topped cane.
|This is an actual picture of Joe Cooke.
|This is not a picture of Joe Cooke. In fact, I don't know how this got here at all. Huh.
Look, guys, I get that it sucks when people call you names and all--it's just hard to feel bad when your political party does the same thing, not to mention that you seem to be making no effort to avoid being mocked. There sure do seem to be a lot of people eager to jump on the "Help! I'm being oppressed!" train at the slightest provocation, but it's tough to justify that when the ill treatment you're accusing people of is virtually identical to your party's treatment of other groups. An atmosphere where you feel uncomfortable? Policies that damage the welfare of some individuals? These are things that will absolutely exist for as long as there are political issues being debated, and to pretend like your own policies are somehow not causing these things to other people is unbelievable to me.
If you feel uncomfortable when people claim that your preferred policies damage them, you can do one of three things: stop talking about politics, change your political views so that people don't feel harmed by yours, or feel uncomfortable. I guarantee you that the gay rights advocates that your Tory party opposes feel uncomfortable a lot of the time, because a fair number of people are for some reason upset when they act like they should have the same rights as everyone else. People disagree about the best way to improve the welfare of all individuals in a country for a lot of reasons, and that will not end. If you want the right to tell someone else that your idea of equal rights isn't the same as theirs, you damn well better afford them that same courtesy. If someone calls you a bigot, there's a way to approach that rationally and have a reasonable discussion about why you feel your position is not bigoted, and there's a way to respond by yelling HELP HELP OPPRESSION which accomplishes nothing but to make you look thin-skinned (and, incidentally, makes me assume that your position is based on an argument you don't want to share). Political discussion gets heated, because it involves policies that affect millions of people for better or for worse, and shockingly not all of them agree on the best approaches. You're going to have to deal with that.

Quick Reference
A theorem first stated by E. C. Fieller in 1940. Suppose that the random variables X and Y have means μx and μy , respectively, and a bivariate normal distribution. The quantity of interest is γ, the ratio of the two means:. Let x̄ and x̄ be estimates of μx and μy, respectively, and let the respective estimates of the variances and covariance be denoted by sx2, sy2 and cxy, with ν degrees of freedom. Fieller's theorem states that has a t-distribution with ν degrees of freedom.

Cash. That's what the graduating youth in your life wants as a gift this year. I hate to be crude, but I speak the truth.
But if you're a romantic and would like to buy a physical gift for that special grad anyway, you can't go wrong with technology. Giving gadgets will make you look far cooler than you actually are -- trust me. So here are my gift suggestions if you'd like to impress the Internet Generation graduate you love so dearly.
Samsung Blu-ray BD-D6500
You might be thinking, "A Blu-ray player? Really?" I'm typically not impressed by them either -- but Samsung's newest Blu-ray is a real head-turner.
It plays 2D and 3D video in high definition, and has built-in Wi-Fi so you can get online and watch streaming video through Netflix and Hulu. You can also search for your favorite videos through Samsung's new Smart Hub, which is the great video search feature that Google TV never really was (not yet, anyway).
Cobra iRadar
If the graduate in question is college-bound, you'll want them to drive safely to their new university life. And Cobra iRadar is a great way to make sure that they do. It's a radar detector that pairs with an iPhone or Android phone to offer information about driving patterns.
You may think giving a young person a radar detector is like giving them an endorsement to speed. But that's not necessarily correct. The iRadar not only gives them a dashboard with their current speed and any potential speeding traps, it also occupies their phone by displaying this information, preventing them from doing other phone things while on the road -- like text messaging.
Logitech Keyboard Case by ZAGG and Bluetooth Speakers
We all know that the iPad and other tablet devices are great educational tools. If your favorite grad already has a tablet, why not get her some really useful accessories? The Logitech Keyboard Case by ZAGG doubles as a case and a keyboard. It pairs with a tablet over Bluetooth and lets you type out notes, emails, and more much faster than you could with an on-screen touchpad.
And if you want to watch movies or listen to music on your tablet, Logitech has made some great speakers that can play wirelessly from up to 50 feet away -- handy if you like to listen to Internet radio stations like Pandora.
Withings Body Scale (to keep the freshman 15 off)
This is great for the graduate who is heading to college or the workforce and would like to avoid the Freshman 15 or the office lunch-hour weight gain. The Withings Body Scale can track your weight and send it to you over your home Wi-Fi network.
Track your weight and body mass index (BMI) on Withings' smartphone app or online. You can even set up multiple accounts for others in your house whose weight goals you would like to track. My wife used it to track her pregnancy -- but that's a use most graduates will likely avoid while focusing on their education.
Toshiba Portege R830 Laptop
This laptop is a real looker. It's a high-end ultraportable Windows machine that is comparable to the MacBook Air. It weighs in at just over 3 pounds and is one of the thinnest and lightest systems that Toshiba has ever made. And as thin as it is, the Portege R830 still impressively makes room for a DVD drive.
And this is no netbook. It can function as a main PC since it comes with at least 500 gigabytes of storage. And it can stand up to the abuse of being carried from class to class with its durable anti-shock system. Which is good because, if you're not giving your favorite grad cash, they'll need a laptop that can last them through to their next graduation ceremony.

Dear Newman Community,
I hope you all had a pleasant Fourth of July celebration! While it was likely a time for fireworks and cookouts with family, I'd like to invite us to consider it also as an opportunity to reflect on what it means to be both American and Catholic. As we get closer and closer to the November elections, the news seems to be ever more filled with stories about the candidates, polls and political pundits. For some of us this may be interesting and spark excitement at the idea of voting in November, for others of us it may be discouraging and bring a feeling of discontentment or hesitation about the entire process. So why, as Catholics, should we care about any of it? What's the connection to our Catholic faith?
"We need to participate for the common good. Sometimes we hear: a good Catholic is not interested in politics. This is not true: good Catholics immerse themselves in politics by offering the best of themselves so that the leader can govern."
- Pope Francis, 9/16/13
Our U.S. Bishops highlight that it is very important for us to ask and explore this very question. They offer a resource for how to do this called, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship: A Call to Political Responsibility. In the coming months our parish will use Faithful Citizenship as a framework to reflect on our rights and duties in our democracy. Look for more info on how you can get involved in the bulletin and pulpit announcements at the end of Mass.
If you'd like to help plan learning and prayer opportunities related to Faithful Citizenship, email me at monastalbertnewmancenter.org.

I was recently sent something for review, that I couldn't wait to hook up. This was a dongle from EZCast. This dongle is a wireless interconnection, provides multimedia files, streaming, sync cast photo/video/music etc. etc
I wanted it mainly to watch things from my laptop on my television. My niece has Google Chromecast and I assumed this would be something like that.
It came in and I was ready to hook it up right away.
For someone that loves tech,but isn't great at hooking up complicated things, this one was self explanatory without even looking at the instruction book. All I had to do was stick the dongle in the HDMI port on my television. I then attached the cable to it and plugged it in the closest wall electric outlet.
All I had to do at this point was hit the input button on my television control and switch the tv to the HDMI channel that the dongle was plugged into. I had mine plugged in the 2nd one.
I knew I had it hooked up right when the word EZCast was on the screen. But was lost when I had no clue what to do next. Apparently I was supposed to find an app to add to my laptop, then I could pair the laptop up with the dongle. I have not been able to accomplish that part. I intend to keep working on it and will update this post when I manage to get it working properly.
Until then I wanted to share this item with you. It is available on Amazon. There is several reviews there and they are a lot of positive reviews at that. If you are looking for something such as this – you might want to check it out HERE
Here is more about it from the company:
Support EZCast, DLNA, Miracast, EZAir (Airpaly), multi-screen interactive by pushing only one button.
ATTENTION: The included manual is just a Quick Strat Guide. Different version of smart devices need different installation instructions, so please go to EZCast 5G dongle official website to download the right version.
The EZCast 5G dongle is a new product with IEEE, supports 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi networks with 2.4Ghz or 5GHz band, which will provide high speed with lower interference. The new EZChannel feature allows you to store / edit your favorite cloud channels, start to enjoy all the new features now!

How to be aware of the Sensitive Periods to aid Early Learning.
The phenomenon of children's Sensitive Periods is not widely known by parents and teachers. However, they strongly influence the direction of children's development.
Knowing about the presence of these tendencies in young children will help solve what is puzzling to most parents. Questions such as –
"Why is the child so upset?"
"Why does he do that over and over?"
In the early years, children experience successive periods of sensitivity. They are feelings or special tastes that help them make particular choices. Something lights up in the environment for the child and draws his attention.
His sensitivity to –
• Order.
• Language.
• Walking.
• Social aspects of life.
• Small objects.
• Learning through the senses.
• Analysis of movement.
• Focus of attention.
A child repeats an activity until he has grasped it. At this point, learning the activity becomes obsolete and he moves on to the next one.
Every mother or father has patiently, or impatiently watched their toddler going up and down stairs.
There is no sense in delaying his desire to do this, because he must learn this skill responding to the corresponding Sensitive Period.
This is the best time to allow it to happen,
His own choice is the best choice, as he is following his interest and working according to any Sensitive Period he may be experiencing.
It is the same with his other developments. It is easier for a child to learn a skill during the corresponding Sensitive Period than at any other period in his life.
As the child grows there are certain times in his young life when the calls from nature distract him. At that time, he may not follow your instructions; his influence is nature's strong command. He is naturally urged to act in a certain way and has a tremendous attraction to particular things. At these times, it is important to observe what fascinates him, and to allow him time to repeat that activity for as long as it interests him. It is important to not miss these opportunities because there may not be another time to embrace the tendency again in the same natural way.
There are periods when children have a special sensitivity to order, and at this time they expect events to follow a pattern. When things do not proceed as imagined, it tests his sensitivity to order. This is a common cause of tantrums. When we are aware of this influence working with young children, it explains their reactions. This sensitivity to order is also evident sometimes in older children.
An Example –
At my preschool we played a game called "Sea Shells". The children pretended to be seashells and remained quite still on the mat until I tapped them gently on the back. When they felt a tap they quietly got up and went outside.
On Open Day there were many parents and visitors at the preschool.
Jake 5yo, had been a pupil for one year and knew all the games, but for the new children I played the game with a slight difference. To everyone's surprise, Jake misbehaved and reacted loudly refusing to play. When his mother appealed to him, he shouted at her and shocked the parents with his outburst. He expected the game he knew, not the changed version.
By understanding the growth periods, and allowing children the freedom of choice, new, individual and unexpected outcomes can emerge.
The repetition of an activity gives parents a clue that the child is in a particular Sensitive Period. Observing the influence this phase has on the choices he makes explains his behaviour.
Recognising these Sensitive Periods can be a great aid in understanding the phases of development of young children. It prevents any misunderstanding that can cause annoyance and anxiety about their behaviour.
When you recognise a Sensitive Period it is a prompt to provide the learning materials corresponding to that intense interest.

Sarah + Bryan Engaged
Warm sunshine and true love… it doesn't get much better.
Bryan and Sarah met working at Macaroni Grill. They actually went to the same high school but never knew each other. (Shows you how big their school was!) Funny thing is, one of Sarah's best guy friends in college was roommates with Bryan's best friend, who is his best man. She would always go to her friend's apartment during classes and would even eat lunch with Bryan's friends, but they just never crossed paths. They started dating in April 2010 and 3 1/2 years later, Bryan proposed in Disney World in September 2013. He completely took her by surprise. It was their first night there and they went to eat in Downtown Disney. After dinner, they walked around looking at all the different little shops. They went into this one shop, called To Be Tren-D. While in there, Bryan said he wanted to ask someone where we could find merchandise with Daisy on it (she's Sarah's favorite Disney character.) He left her for a couple of minutes then came back. He was stalling for a bit in the store while she was wanting to move on to another. Then all of a sudden he was ready to leave and as they were walking out, a photographer stopped them and asked if she could take some pictures of them. Sarah really didn't want to because they were wet from being rained on that night. The photographer asked them to step inside and stand in the corner of the store, which was really weird to Sarah. Then other staff members were blocking people from passing in front of them. They asked them to do some kissy pics and then all of a sudden Bryan got down on one knee. He completely took her by surprise. When he said he went to ask someone about Daisy merchandise, he actually talked to a staff member and wanted a photographer to capture the moment of him proposing to Sarah. He was so sneaky!
