GOLD STAR AWARDS – celebrating good quality developments
We think it's important to celebrate good quality developments in our area and Gold Star awards are presented at our AGM each year. They are given for projects completed in the past year which can be clearly seen by the general public, so most rear extensions are excluded!
Each year we collect nominations – from proud property owners, from architects and from Society members. We arrive at a short list and conduct a formal site inspection in September (on a Sunday morning).
There have been one or two years when nothing has reached a high enough standard but most years we have sufficient nominations and we are able to celebrate with Gold Star awards.
The AGM in November 2017 saw the presentation of the much sought after Gold Star Awards. These are given to development projects in Redland & Cotham, completed since the previous AGM, which make a positive contribution to the appearance of our area and which are visible from public vantage points. So no interiors and very few rear extensions!
This year we were fortunate to have four excellent projects selected as recipients of Gold Star Awards:
WHITELADIES CINEMA – Quentin Alder Architects
The return of this prominent building to cinema use after some 15 years of closure is greatly welcomed. The Listed Art Deco structure had been the subject of various proposals for unsuitable uses such as a fitness centre. The building had previously been damaged internally by conversion to three screens, and was in poor condition when Everyman took over. They have fully repaired the structure, including its distinctive tower, and reinstated the elaborate period plasterwork.
REDLAND PARISH HALLS – O'Leary Goss Architects
The Parish Halls have been a valued amenity for our area since opening in 1994. The need for additional and more flexible space, together with upgrading of the existing services and structure has been imaginatively and skilfully met. The new complex considerably enhances the appearance of the halls from Redland Green.
KENSINGTON COTTAGE – Quentin Alder Architects
This house, built on the site of two lock-up garages, and sandwiched between the road and railway embankment, shows what can be achieved by good design on a very small site. The house has a natural stone elevation to Kensington Road. No windows were allowed to the railway boundary. The design provides small outdoor living spaces, including a balcony to the open plan first floor. It is hoped that if further garage sites are developed here they will be to the same standard.
ELM LODGE – Richard Pedlar Architects
This small and unusually shaped cottage on its corner site has been subject to much alteration in the past, as the slight variety of natural stone shows. The latest extension, which was refused planning permission by Bristol but allowed on Appeal, is a skilful design that respects the historic structure and materials.
In 2016 Gold Star awards were made to the following developments:
Colstons' Primary School, Elmgrove Road
The different levels on this site have been successfully exploited to create separate and well landscaped outdoor spaces for different age groups. From the street the timber clad buildings go well with the restored stone boundary wall.
The Downs Haven
This unobtrusive building at the very top of Blackboy Hill was built in 1917 by public subscription for the benefit of service personnel who were convalescing from their wounds at the nearby Queen Victoria Hospital. Council owned, it has been carefully restored by volunteers.
The Pissoir (gentlemans public lavatory), Blackboy Hill
This early example of the public convenience was erected in the 1880's by Bristol Corporation and is one of only three remaining in Bristol. The cast iron structure, made in Glasgow, has been carefully restored and the glass roof renewed.
158 Redland Road
This large 1930's semi-detached house has been much improved by its renovation, with period details retained and emphasised. The landscaping is particularly successful.
8 Kersteman Road
The substantial former electricity sub-station space has been reused as living space with new floors over creating a 3 level house. A welcome new use of a redundant building. It adjoins a church converted to residential use – a former RCAS Gold Star winner.

Recently, one of my friends, who is nowadays busy promoting his newly launched restaurant business, contacted me (quiet shocked), after discovering the high prices graphic designers were asking for their creative skills. Undoubtedly, paying a graphic designer for his creativity, is an extremely crucial and conflict – ridden issue. Some designers devalue their wealth of knowledge and experience while other overrate their aptitude.
However, I have listed few aspects one should ponder before making a deal with graphic designer. Hopefully, my study won't only help the customers who are looking for affordable creative artists but also favor the designers who really deserve a good price.
A creative director with an experience of 30 years certainly asks for a higher fee compared to an aspiring graphic designer. Just remember, the more experience you have, more you are paid.
Type of Service:
Designing services require a lot of expertise and a designer is compensated for it. Projects for full-blown corporate websites and strategies are expensive as compared to the designing services provided for annual reports, magazines and billboards.
Demand For Design:
If demand for design is high in an area and supply is low then you can charge more. If supply is high, (many non- employed designers) and demand is low, then a designer might agree to lower his prices.
Prints and Extra Cost:
The designers have to add their costs of other expenses as well, such as photography, picture research, travel and so on. Somehow, the designers bill these costs in many different ways and make the customer pay them.
Charges of a graphic designer drastically vary, depending on the location of his workplace. Designers who work remotely and maintain clients in bigger cities have a reputable market and they can ask for high fee from their clients.
Graphic designing is an extremely creative industry and a graphic designer is an incredibly specialized person wearing different hats to cater all kinds of clients. To me, as a client, the above features would sound reasonable checklist for determining the price I should be paying to a creative artist but I want the designers to let me know if I have skipped any initial aspect of the pricing structure of the profession.
Your comments will be more than welcome:)

D'Girl (aka Dosha Harris) has emerged as a compelling new force to be reckoned with in the mostly male-dominated local scene. But it goes way beyond the fact that she's a lady MC. The twenty-year-old, who's been rhyming since age thirteen, carries herself with the poise of a veteran and has a magnetic delivery that merges the elements of lyrical flavor with the style of MCs like Drake and Nicki Minaj.
We first stumbled upon D'Girl at DJ Ktone's "Denver's Got Next" talent showcase, where she rocked the stage with friend and frequent collaborator Landy. D'Girl moved through the crowd with such ease, it wasn't clear that she was one of the performers until she took the stage. The Denver native says this easy energy is how she keeps her creative spirits high during the recording process.
"Essentially, when I get in the studio, it's the feel of the track and who I'm with," she reveals. "With my artistry, I always put a girly touch to everything. My lyrics are kind of hardcore, but I'm more of an in-between kind of person. I make sure that when I'm at shows I can bring sexy as well as the hard element to the stage, because no one just wants a hard girl or a super-prissy kind of person. I make sure I keep a balance and give them what they want."
After the 5280 Urban Music Awards last year, D'Girl blew the crowd away at an after-party, adding cred to her already-burgeoning rep and catching the eye of fellow rapper Mr. Midas.
"After he saw me rock at the after-party, he approached me to join his team," she recalls. "I've been rapping since I was thirteen, and when I lived in Nebraska, I got down with the music scene out there. I'm from here, though, and when I moved back at eighteen, my ex-boyfriend was a rapper, and I thought, you know, I can rap a little bit.
"Once they heard me," she continues, "they told me I had that voice and that power. I didn't think I could go anywhere with it until my mom heard me and told me she knew I could make it. I love music, and it's something that's in me, so when she encouraged me, I figured, 'Why not?'"

A self-proclaimed perfectionist, D'Girl is working on releasing tons of old material: "I have so much stuff from last year that hasn't been released, so I'd like to drop a double disc," she says, as well as put the finishing pieces together for a multi-volume series of mixtapes all patterned after a choice makeup item.
"I'm going to call it Mascara Music Volume One," she explains, "and with the volumes, I want to do a 'waterproof' edition and a 'lengthening' edition, as a three-part series. It's going to be crazy."
While she is definitely a part of the Gang Green imprint, D'Girl maintains her independence by having a hand in all marketing and branding components to her work, allowing for official autonomy.
"No one can push you like yourself," she points out. "I have a lot to do with my marketing and all of the ideas I come up with. I have a manager now, and he's doing his thing to make sure I can get a lot of exposure, and I'm trying to make sure that I do my part.
"I love hip-hop," she adds. "It's not just something I do for my hobby. It's artistry. We create concepts for songs, and we write together, everything. We don't just hop on a beat and go at it. If you listen to our words, we're actually saying a lot."
Although a far cry from the old-school purist example of female rap of artists like MC Lyte, D'Girl is a descendant of Lyte's descendants. Citing Young Jeezy as the rapper who inspired her to write more, she hails Nicki Minaj as the MC who truly motivates her the most.

"Nicki Minaj put that fire in my heart that it could actually happen for me," D'Girl declares. "She came from the bottom like I came from the bottom, and you've always got to have your motivators, and now she's one of the best to ever do it."
There are some of the obvious comparisons to other rappers in the game, particularly Diamond from Crime Mobb, and other artists from the South who personify "swag" rap, but D'Girl brings her unique styling and artistic perception.
"One thing about Colorado rap -- or my rap, at least -- people always try to mix other people's swag," she concludes. "We have a lot of California and Southern stuff, but my music and other people's music from Colorado sounds a particular way. Even though I swag it out on a track, you can always hear all of my words.
"The song 'No Stopping Me' is really close to me because it tells of my struggles in hip-hop as a female. Sometimes people try to play you like a minor when you're really a major person. To be able to have my voice heard and tell my experience means a lot to me."

Subtle slate look for modern outdoor living
The design of GATEWAY OUTDOOR20 is inspired by coloured slate, with its countless, interesting patterns, textures, grains and plays of colour. The outdoor tiles freely interpret the characteristic, rough texture of slate and transpose it to a subtle relief Here, the strata typical for slate are presented in gentler form than that found in natural stone. The result is a very fine slate look in expressive colours that develop their full look over the expanse of the tiling area. Equipped with vilbostoneplus surface sealing, this porcelain stoneware is not only very easy-care; it is also completely impervious to moisture and UV light and very durable.
The 2-cm-thick tiles offer R11/B slip resistance, ensuring safety underfoot, even when the surface is wet. Their design is coordinated with the 10 mm thick porcelain stoneware, allowing floors to be produced with a seamless appearance extending from inside the building to the outside. Particular advantage GATEWAY OUTDOOR20 can be laid not only firmly in a mortar bed but also loosely in a gravel and grit bed or on raised supports and grout bags. As such, the tiles offer planners individual design options for virtually any building scenario – both in up-market private homes and in the commercial sector.

University of Detroit Mercy earns top ten graduate school ranking in 2018 U.S. News survey
University of Detroit Mercy's Nurse Anesthesia program ranked the 10th best and the MBA program ranked among the top 20 graduate Management programs in the nation in U.S. News & World Report's "2018 Best Graduate Schools." The list was released today in the magazine's "2018 Best Graduate Schools" magazine. This is the College of Business Administration's third consecutive year for this high honor.
Additionally, the University was awarded top-tier rankings for Best Nursing Schools: Master's, Physician Assistant, Clinical Psychology and Doctor of Nurse Practice.
Graduate schools are evaluated on criteria such as grade point averages of incoming students, acceptance rates and employment outcomes of graduates. The rankings methodology varies across disciplines to account for differences in each graduate program. The nursing school rankings, for example, include the percentage of faculty members still actively working in hospitals and other medical settings, while business schools are evaluated by how corporate recruiters rate MBA program.
"These high recognitions of our graduate programs again by U.S. News confirm our reputation as one of America's leading Midwest universities," said University President Antoine M. Garibaldi, Ph.D., "and it is a special tribute to the faculty who teach in these programs."
"This award is a strong affirmation of the quality and value of the Detroit Mercy experience for current students and a significant factor for prospective students to consider when choosing a university," he added.
Since 1877, the University has offered students a value-centered and student-focused approach to learning, empowering them to develop themselves intellectually, professionally, personally, spiritually, ethically and socially. As a University firmly grounded in the Catholic traditions of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits) and the Sisters of Mercy, Detroit Mercy's commitment to a holistic approach to teaching, learning and serving student' needs is constantly evident, inside and outside the classroom.

text: BUSINESS sharper picture 4:00 AM PST 2/6/2007 by Steve Brennan , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty Producer Harry Friedman made like an open-mouthed audience member in "The Producers" when he first saw the Turkish version of his pride and joy, "Wheel of Fortune." It was probably the gyrating belly dancer that popped his jaw the widest."That particular international version (of 'Wheel') was an hourlong variety show with a belly dancer and some animal acts and every once in a while a puzzle. The audience was screaming like a section out of the film 'Gladiator,'" the veteran producer recalls.As executive producer of both "Wheel" and "Jeopardy!" one might have expected him to be furious at how his show had been so bent out of shape. Not so. "We loved it because it shows how resilient the game is. So we didn't put a stop to it, even though nobody seemed to have a clue what anybody was saying, because everyone was having a ball." The Turkish take on "Wheel" — which is no longer on the air — was probably the most bizarre re-creation of the format during a quarter of a century in the international marketplace.And even though "Wheel" is one of the oldest game show formats, it is again making news in Spain and France, where new versions of the show have been relaunched, Friedman says. It's top of its slot as "La Roue de la Fortune" on TF1 in France, where it has averaged a 36% audience share and 4.8 million viewers since its January bow. And as "La Ruleta de la Suerte," it has returned to Antenna 3 in Spain, where it is winning its early-afternoon slot with an impressive 1.3 million viewers.Local versions also air in Argentina, Brazil, Malaysia and Vietnam. Friedman reckons that the venerable gamer has played in virtually every country that has a TV set. How does it feel to sit back and watch these localized international versions of his show? "It's like seeing your furniture in someone else's living room," Friedman says. He credits Armando Nunez (president of CBS Paramount International Television) and Steve Friedman (vp programming and production at the division) for the new bumper crop of "Wheel" formats. Nunez returns the compliment. "Thanks to Harry Friedman's creative vision, 'Wheel of Fortune' continues to be a format with ratings success and staying power all around the world."Steve Brennan can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Here are some of the cool web pages and online stuff that I've found whilst roaming around the Internet recently and decided to add them to my online Delicious bookmarks between 30th September 2010 and 25th October 2010:
- Masters of Media » Your City, My City, Our Crowdsourced Social Cities – A well researched article on how the growth of the various location-based social networks is creating an increasing importance on your geographic location when using the Internet – it will be interesting to see how the web that was once very global orientated in terms of connections, is now also connecting people and services on a local level.
- 7 Colossal Monuments Around the World – How is that I've never heard of any of these amazing huge monuments/statues located around the world…well obviously I'd heard of the giant Gundam statue in Japan, but not any of the others – it would be great to visit any or preferably all of these don't you think?
- The LaCie XtremKey Destructathon – Bring it on! – LaCie Xtremkey USB memory stick says it can survive 200 degrees Celcius? Best test it out by baking a cake then!
- Why is Teleportation EVIL – How exactly do they ever get past the fact that people are being disintegrated in Star Trek? Once you start thinking about it, surely it can't be good?
- BBC – Jake Humphrey: What it's like being an F1 presenter and producer – A great insight into how the BBC team actually work together to produce the live F1 coverage – you definitely realise just how complicated a job this must be to present on TV and keep with what's going on!

D.J. Williams won't be with Broncos' No. 1 defense during training camp
The biggest news to come out of the Broncos' press gathering on the eve of training camp is the revelation that for the time in nine seasons, D.J. Williams will not occupy one of the linebacker positions with the No. 1 defense during the team's first practice Thursday.
"I don't know that he'll get many (starter) reps in this camp," said coach John Fox.
Wesley Woodyard will get the first chance to fill Williams' spot at the weakside linebacker position. Nate Irving, a second-year player who was the Broncos' third-round draft pick in 2010, will compete with Woodyard, as will sixth-round rookie Danny Trevathan.
Fox added Williams understands. The veteran linebacker will begin the season serving a six-game suspension for violating the league's performance enhancement policy.

Norman C. Bay
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
888 First Street, NE
Washington, DC 20426
Dear Chairman Bay,
We write again to address recent FERC scoping meetings in the Virginia counties of Nelson and Augusta, on the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Docket No. PF 15-6-000). As discussed, our offices received multiple accounts of discrepancies between these meetings' announced start times and the times at which people could sign up to speak. Some constituents commuted significant distances after full days of work arrived to discover that speaking slots had been claimed hours earlier.
While we appreciate your intent to review procedures for future scoping meetings, we must request that new scoping meetings be held in Nelson and Augusta counties. While we are aware that constituents may submit written comments as well, many in communities along proposed pipeline routes are learning about these complex issues in their spare time for the first time, in contrast to energy companies that have longstanding expertise in this process. In-person meetings provide invaluable access to FERC staff who can share their expertise and answer questions. Public meetings are only beneficial if they allow for maximum participation and airing of different viewpoitns, and we believe Nelson and Augusta County residents deserve the full opportunity for comment that was not provided at the previous meeting.
Thank you for your leadership in this area, as you begin your term as Chairman we look forward to working with you. If you have questions on this letter, please contact Ken Johnson or Ann Rust in Senator Warner's office or Nick Barbash in Seantor Kaine's office.
FERC Letter: Senator Warner and Senator Kaine

I'm working on The cincyopolis Guide to Building a Better City, a picture book that tries to explain the very complicated world of taxpayer-subsidized economic development in Cincinnati without giving everybody a giant headache. It's a collection of lists, charts and pictures.
Since there is no easy, central source to verify the information and I'm piecing together 50 years of history, I need to use the collective knowledge base of the community to crowd-source the fact-checking. We want this information to be of real value in helping us make better decisions about where we invest our development resources.
Does anybody see any factual errors or omissions in this list of taxpayer subsidized office towers?
As always, thanks for any and all help.
For the last 30 years a lot of our economic development has focused on "jobs" through abated property taxes on office towers.

HTC has announced two new handsets today, the HTC U Ultra, which we've already talked about, and the HTC U Play. The U Ultra is HTC's all-new flagship, while the U Play is the company's mid-range offering. The two devices are somewhat similar in terms of the design, as they're both sporting the so-called 'Liquid Surface' design, and are symmetrical. The HTC U Play comes with the HTC Sense Companion, just like its bigger brother, this is HTC's all-new AI assistant which is supposed to learn from you in order to help you be more productive.
The HTC U Play also comes with HTC U-Sonic, which is the company's new tech which analyses your inner ears with a sonar-like pulse and adapts sound to you specifically. The HTC U Play is slightly curved on both its front and back sides, and will be available in a number of color options, just like its sibling. This smartphone comes without the 3.5mm headphone jack, in case you were wondering. This smartphone is fueled by MediaTek's Helio P10 64-bit octa-core processor, and it features a 5.2-inch fullHD (1920 x 1080) Super LCD display which is protected by a layer of Corning's Gorilla Glass. The HTC U Ultra comes with Gorilla Glass 5 on top of its display, but the company did not mention if that's the case with the HTC U Play. The HTC U Play also packs in 3GB / 4GB of RAM and 32GB / 64GB of expandable internal storage.
On the back of this smartphone, you'll be able to find a 16-megapixel OIS camera (f/2.0 aperture), while it seems like the company included that very same sensor on the front side of this phone as well. The dual-LED, dual tone flash is placed on the back of the HTC U Play, and the phone comes with dual microphones with noise cancellation. The 2,500mAh battery is also a part of this package, and it is not removable, while you'll charge it through the Type-C USB 2.0 port. HTC Sense is placed on top of Android, and we do believe that this phone will ship with Android 7.0 Nougat just like the HTC U Ultra, even though HTC did not clarify if that will be the case. The HTC U Play will be available for purchase through Dixons Carphone in a number of color variants, the same goes for Brightstar and Data Select as well. As far as online purchases go, you'll be able to purchase this handset from HTC.com, Amazon, Very.co.uk, etc., just like it was the case with the HTC U Ultra, HTC will share more info about this phone's availability soon, and the device is expected to go on sale next month.
UPDATE: HTC did not reveal HTC U Play's availability info in their press release or during hte press conference, but HTC Taiwan just did. The 3GB RAM variant of the HTC U Play will cost $440 and will become available in Q1 2017, while we still don't know the pricing of the 4GB RAM model, but that variant will also go on sale in Q1 2017, probably February as HTC's presser said.

About this Research Topic
The incidence of congenital heart defects is about 10/1000 living births across the world, without major differences among the various geographical areas. Attempts have been made to identify the true incidence of congenital heart defects, with studies reporting that in emerging economies the incidence of congenital heart defects is higher than the average because of several factors.These include genetics, higher prevalence of consanguineous marriages, poor nutrition, poor sanitation and significantly higher fertility rates.
Across the globe child mortality due to communicable diseases has considerably decreased, however death and disability in children with congenital heart defects has dramatically increased in the last two decades. It has been estimated that congenital malformations, of which congenital heart defects represents nearly 50%, are the 4th leading cause of neonatal mortality.
Since the care of patients with congenital heart defects is complex and requires significant resources, the main global issue remains the fact that the access to care is not equal for all. As a result, every year about 90% of over one million of children born with a congenital heart defect around the world do not have access to care or only receive sub-optimal care. These children are predominantly born in low income countries. To compound the problem further, there is a very large number of patients in the pediatric age group with acquired heart diseases, such as rheumatic disease, imposing a huge additional burden on these impoverished populations.
Although the incidence of rheumatic disease has fallen, there are still 233,000 new cases every year, with 2,000 deaths annually reported.
This tragic situation has stimulated the creation of many non-profit humanitarian organizations, trying to reduce the imbalance in health care existing for children with congenital heart defects and rheumatic disease across the globe. All these organizations rely on volunteer teams donating their time and expertise to provide diagnostic investigations and surgical treatment for congenital and acquired heart defects in the pediatric age.
The purpose of this Research Topic is to highlight this serious global child issue and attract the interest of the people with experience in humanitarian activities in the emerging economies, to share their experiences of working in such resource constrained environments, and the requirements for a successful partnership with the local existing organizations.
The success should not be measured by the number of successful operations of any given mission, but by the successful operations that our colleagues perform after we leave. Or in other words, success can only be measured when the local team decides that we are going to be of more benefit elsewhere.
Considering that the children in need outnumber the people able to provide care in this humanitarian effort, there should be plenty of room for cooperation rather than competition.
The main goal should be to provide teaching to local staff and implementing methods and techniques to support the improvement of the care of the patients in the long run ultimately building capacity.
This Research Topic focuses on the organization of pediatric cardiac activities in the emerging economies, although "the less medical advanced" parts of the world can be anywhere, not necessarily limited by economic constraints.
Raising the awareness and non-governmental organizations working in partnership with local organizations and governments will form the building blocks of a strategy towards creating capacity in the low income countries over the long term, so that in the future the diagnosis of congenital heart defects and rheumatic heart diseases will no longer be the death sentence for the majority of children in the world that it currently is.
Keywords: congenital heart defects, genetics, consanguineous marriages, poor nutrition, sanitation, congenital malformations, rheumatic disease, humanitarian

I went grocery shopping with a friend yesterday. It's been quite awhile since I've done so and even then, it was mostly snack runs in college so I'm not even sure that counts. It always breeds a sense of self-consciousness, especially when the friend, unlike you, seems to make wise eating choices.
I really shouldn't put this all on my friend. It happens regularly when I shop. Specifically, during that time of year when bathing suit season is approaching and I'm going to eat healthy food. The pressure of all the women walking down the aisle, with not only their hair and make-up done, but also alert eyes, makes me start grabbing the kale they're grabbing in a desperate attempt to do it right.
I feel the urge to be more, to be better about my eating habits than I have been. So I suddenly fall into zombie-like "Grocery Bailey" mode.
Grocery Bailey suddenly falls into a frenzy of healthy food choices. Sure I don't typically eat Paleo, but let's grocery shop so that I have no other choice. This is the thought that fills my head. I start frantically grabbing vast amounts of produce and bags of hemp and chia seeds. I didn't even know you could buy a bag of hemp but at Costco, apparently you can get it in bulk and it will make you healthy. Don't ask me how to use it. I have absolutely no idea but I'm pretty sure Pinterest can tell me.
The dream of my bathing suit body overwhelms me. I know my husband prefers hearty meals, but salads will be a fun, sexy alternative, right? Salads for every meal! Beautiful, hearty salads! (On a side note, are there actually people who eat salad for dinner? I don't buy it. Every time I do this, I end up eating an entire batch of cookies to compensate and I am becoming more and more convinced that I'm not alone.)
Despite my lack of enthusiasm for actually eating produce, yesterday, I zigzagged all around the produce departments and came home with lots of white meat and vegetables. I limited the fruit because, you know, sugar. Grocery Bailey walks around feeling superior to the woman grabbing the cereal and spaghetti that, just last week, was in my cupboard because she has an amazing plan to "get healthy."
Then I get home and collapse as I unload the mounds of greenery into my fridge. I want something to snack on (because all that healthy thinking is exhausting), but nothing is convenient. It all needs to be washed and cut and my counters are full of giant, oversized Costco products.
If you make salads for dinner, I applaud you. Not because you're making a healthy choice, but because it is more work than making a full dinner. I tried to make a salad once and after three hours of washing and cutting vegetables, I ended up with carpal tunnel and was unable to lift the fork. Is this actually how people get skinny? I'm starting to think their hands are just too worn out from cutting to actually eat.
My fridge is brimming with healthy food. We will now commence a desperate game of, "Let's Try to Eat All the Produce Before It Expires." Spoiler alert: We always lose and usually end up ordering a pizza.

Will changing the enrollment criteria unenroll those currently in the workflow?SOLVE
New Contributor
03-01-2018 04:02
If I change the enrollment criteria on an existing active workflow, will it automatically unenroll any contacts that now no longer meet the original criteria?
For example:
We have a workflow with about 6,000 contacts in it. We are now thinking we might want to refine that number and are thinking of adding an additional trigger criteria (a contact property value) for the start of the workflow. If I add that, will it remove anyone that no longer meets that criteria? Or will they stay because they've already been enrolled?
Further, if they stay, is there a way to remove them later in the workflow?

Let's try it
you'll now just need the simple receptive field script and issue
python SimpleReceptiveField.py
- the demo consists of three panels: the input image, the input to the neuron, the output. the receptive field is defined by the first frame that is grabbed. Therefore after first use, I recommend to quit the program, draw a simple stimulus (a line on a paper, a grating, ...) and restart the program by holding the drawing close to the camera.
It's easy to do! A simple installation setup, a short script is enough to demonstrate an essential neuroscience experiment. The simplicity of python is essential in leveraging the complexity of hooking together different pieces of hardware.
There's yet no API for real-time neural simulations to my knowledge. Non von-Neumann architectures (that is algorithms using a different substrate than sequential computers) are becoming a possibility in the near future. Building such applications with real-time demo will enable to study neural models in a different way that the present 1) set-up 2) run 3) analyze workflow that is used in most neural simulators. Yet, this demo is over-simplistic and do not use the computational power of parallelism yet.

"Concealed," by the British electronic-music duo Demdike Stare and the filmmaker and animator Michael England, is an audiovisual project, no more or less aural than visual, about dread and dreams, what happens in the world when the conscious mind isn't noticing.
Commissioned by the concert organization Unsound, it had its first United States performance on Friday night at the First Unitarian Church in Brooklyn Heights, in a program called "The Long Tone," as part of the Unsound Festival and co-produced by Issue Project Room. (The festival, which originated in Krakow, Poland, is staging its fourth New York edition.) "Concealed" was Friday's headlined event, after a short performance for electric guitar, made orchestral with digital effects, by the Polish musician Jakub Ziolek, in a project he calls Stara Rzeka, and a generous, resonant one by the composer Phill Niblock.
The fact that the music of "Concealed" — a bit dark-ambient, a bit post-techno, assisted by the live strings of the seven-piece Sinfonietta Cracovia, often guided by regular beats and arranged with ordinary harmonies, sometimes based in mysterious, decontextualized samples — finally wasn't that nourishing seemed beside the point. It had a function. That function was to implicate you into some kind of secret, and to creep you out.
Mr. England's film arrived in discrete chapters. One showed clouds streaking ominously in accelerated motion across a plain. One featured actors in military uniforms, goose-stepping around in shoes with curled toes, and arranging teaspoons bearing special insignia on some sort of dirt map. One featured a Butoh dancer in slow, elegant contortions. So, you know: ritual, nightmare, secret societies, good and evil, the freakiness of nature and the body.
The music was composed by Miles Whitaker and Sean Canty of Demdike Stare, with orchestration by Danny Norbury. It came with a frustrating anonymity: dense or spacious, with strings or without, these sketches often felt like semi-generic atmospheres. It was music once removed: concerned with how sound can conjure complicated emotion, but seldom settling in on the challenges and glories of sound itself.
Mr. Niblock's new work "Unipolar Dance" settled in on the thing itself. (Now 80, Mr. Niblock is a local hero: a composer and filmmaker and director of the Experimental Intermedia, in Chinatown, where he has been booking performances for 40 years.) To make the piece, in two movements, he had the husband-and-wife violinists Pauline Kim Harris and Conrad Harris record continuous tones, in multi-track long strokes; there was always a steady drone chord at the music's base, with layers of detail and dissonance on top.
And during the playback of it on Friday, as recorded sound boomed through the speakers — one gigantic chord, roaring and engulfing — the string players walked the side aisles of the church, further entangling with one another's sounds, adding more texture and harmony, and making sense of the title, which is an anagram of their first names.
Mr. Niblock showed an accompanying series of his own faded-color nature films: reflections of bright sunlight on the water of a shallow creek, close-ups of leaves rustled by wind or of water droplets on a rock, wobbling slightly but cohering through surface tension. Basically, the images expressed the same concern as the music. What was that concern? How to take in, and be astonished by, an ever-changing continuity.

We're Always Open 612.324.1004
In the Twin Cities, we are blessed to have such charming old homes fill our neighborhoods. Not only do they provide us with a sense of aesthetic beauty, they really define our area. But with older homes often comes heating and plumbing problems that can be a headache for homeowners.
Is your older Twin Cities home not getting warm enough to meet your needs? There might be a leak in your steam boiler. But don't worry, we're going to help you determine if there is in fact a leak, and how to locate it.
First, you'll want to set the thermostat at a high temperature so that the boiler kicks on. Leave it at that temperature for a while to make sure it doesn't turn off. Then inspect the floor and the area surrounding the boiler. If there is a leak, you should be able to notice water.
However, a leaky steam boiler may not be that easy to spot. Be sure to check all of the connected pipes and the main vent of the system. The joints where pipes are connected are common sources of leaks.
Still nothing? Then it might be your radiator that's leaking and not the boiler itself. Look for signs of water on the floors near your radiators and at the connection where the pipe meets the radiator.
If you're still having trouble, you should call in a plumber - that's where we come in! We'll be glad to help find the cause of the leak and put an end to the problem right away. Just Uptown a call at (612) 324-1004 to schedule an appointment.

3DBaz – Research from the FEM Research Institute for Precious Metals and Metals Chemistry in Germany demonstrates a method of selective laser melting (SLM) in gold. The method could give more design freedom to 3D printed jewelry, watches, and even electronics that use gold as a conductor.
Refined gold
Though SLM is a popular method for 3D printing titanium, aluminium or steel alloys, the authors explain that "Gold and silver alloys are very difficult to process by laser melting because of their high reflectivity and thermal conductivity."
In order to refine these qualities for 3D printing, the researchers combine gold with other metal alloys such iron (Fe) and germanium (Ge). The success of each additional alloy is measured for its hardness, and an ability to mix without creating notable changes to the color of the yellow gold.
Ge001 and Fe003 strains were found to be the most applicable for additive manufacturing. As the Fe and Ge powders are oxidised, these combinations result in less light being reflected by the gold alloy.
Research findings
The FEM Research Institute use an MLab R Laser CUSING machine from Concept Laser for the study. For each alloy combination, additive manufacturing settings are also changed. To this effect, the paper concludes with the optimal parameters for 3D printing gold alloy on the machine. These include:
- Optimal powder size: 5–30 μm.
- Ideal laser speed: 200–450 mm/s.
- Reduced porosity with heat treatment from 3-4% to 0.7%
- Additional porosity control with "Alloying additions of Fe and Ge"

Synopsis for "Full Throttle: Running out of Time"
After revealing himself to be the Flash to the two detectives interrogating him, Bart Allen races from the police station and to the Getty Center, which had been overtaken by Rogues. En route, he spots someone else tagging along.
The Rogues have surrounded the Getty Center in a forcefield and await the arrival of the Flash. Bart is unable to vibrate through the field, so instead he goes underground, through the bedrock.
Abra Kadabra, knowledgeable in temporal physics thanks to his 64th century education, approaches Inertia and announces that the machine being built will not stop time as claimed.
Valerie Perez walks through the airport, preparing to fly back to Keystone City. She is stopped by Iris Allen, who teleports in and asks for her help in stopping something horrible.
Inertia explains to Kadabra his true intentions, that he had only used the Rogues as bait for the Flash. Bart bursts in and attacks his clone. The rest of the Rogues arrive and they battle.
Iris and Val teleport to the Getty Center, and Iris asks Val, with her knowledge of the Speed Force to find a way to turn off Inertia's machine. However, it has already been activated.
The Speed Force leaves Bart's body and he sees the Black Flash, who always heralds the imminent death of a speedster. Val explains that the machine, which was designed to transfer the Speed Force from Bart to Inertia, will explode with the power of ten atomic bombs.

Learning Online
All about online education
Online learning has changed a great deal since it first became widely available in the late 1990s and early 2000s. During its early years, online education was mainly available through specialized institutions that operated primarily or exclusively on the Internet. However, the online learning landscape has changed a great deal since then. Today, online education for just about any academic discipline you can imagine is available, and the vast majority of traditional "brick and mortar" schools now offer online programs. Consequently, concerns about accreditation and the value of online education are largely a thing of the past.
About Online Education: Teaching Methods
Part of the reason that learning online has come such a long way is that technological improvements have made a wider range of teaching methods available to instructors. In addition to the digital distribution of course readings and instructional materials, students can participate in discussion forums and submit their assignments via email or by posting them to a school-supported web hosting service. These approaches formed the backbone of online learning when Internet-based education first came on the scene, and are still widely used today.
However, thanks to major advances in online streaming and digital video technology, it is now possible for instructors to post lectures online, or simulate a real classroom environment by holding interactive sessions with students in real time. During such sessions, all participating students sign in to a secure website and listen while the instructor delivers a lecture.
Just as in a regular classroom, students can submit questions and engage in discussions with their fellow learners. One major advantage of this approach is that lectures remain available and accessible to students for the duration of the course. If you miss a session or want to review an important concept, you can simply play back the digital audio or video content. Interactive web-based whiteboards can also be used to explain and demonstrate key concepts. These approaches are known as "synchronous learning," as they take place in real time.
Online courses also utilize a number of "asynchronous learning" approaches, which allow students to set their own schedules and work at their own pace. Examples of asynchronous learning tools include:
- Email and blog-based assignment submissions
- Course forums and discussion boards
- Digital and HTML textbooks
- Social networks
Many online courses use a combination of synchronous and asynchronous approaches, allowing the student to tailor his or her learning experience to a degree not possible in the traditional classroom. This is one reason online learning has become such a popular alternative to attending actual classes.
Online Learning's Rapid Expansion
A far cry from the niche position it occupied when it first appeared, online learning has become an indispensable part of modern education. Consider these statistics:
- In 2008, approximately 25 percent of all full-time postsecondary students in the United States took their courses exclusively online
- By 2014, over 80 percent of American postsecondary students will be taking at least some of their courses online
- The vast majority (more than two-thirds) of academics and instructors believe that online learning is crucial to the success of their students and the long-term viability of their educational institutions
If you have only participated in traditional classroom environments in the past, preparing for online learning will require a shift in your approach. It is a much more independent means of learning, and thus requires higher levels of self-motivation. While most online courses are designed to keep students engaged, the learning environment is far different than what you will experience in a regular classroom. If you are considering an online program and you aren't sure whether or not learning online is right for you, start out by taking one or two classes. Once you've adjusted to the online learning environment, you can then determine if and when you are ready to commit to it on a full-time basis.

Total absorption and emission coefficients of selective solar absorbers are measured under high vacuum conditions from room temperature up to stagnation temperature. The sample under investigation is illuminated under vacuum @1000W/m2 and the sample temperature is recorded during heat up, equilibrium and cool down. During stagnation, the absorber temperature exceeds 300°C without concentration. Data analysis allows evaluating the solar absorptance and thermal emittance at different temperatures. These in turn are useful to predict evacuated solar panel performances at operating conditions.

HONG KONG, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he plans to send humans to Mars by 2025.
Musk expressed his plans for the future of space travel at the StartmeupHK Festival in Hong Kong and said he plans to reach the International Space Station himself in four or five years.
"I don't think it's that hard, honestly," he said. "It's not that hard to float around."
He also said he hopes to describe the architecture of the spacecraft that will travel to Mars in late September at the International Astronautical Conference in Mexico.
Musk's efforts to reach Mars are part of a larger plan to establish a city on the planet with the hopes of preserving mankind from extinction while also advancing the human race.
"Mars is the next natural step. In fact, it's the only planet we have a shot at establishing a self-sustaining city on," he said. "Once we do establish such a city, there will be strong forcing function for the improvement of space flight technology that will then enable us to establish colonies elsewhere in the solar system and ultimately extend beyond our solar system."
In addition to the preservation of mankind, Musk also believes that the sense of adventure would provide the world with inspiration.
"This would be an incredible adventure," he said. "It would be exciting and inspiring, and there needs to be things that excite and inspire people."

Tamoximed is an effective antiestrogenic drug, and also a drug that prevents the absorption of estrogen by receptors. Created by Balcan Pharmaceuticals this drug occupies the TOP places of many lists of best steroids nowadays. This medicament has achieved a world wide popularity because of its quick results and minimal possible side effects. The drug Tamoxifen is a sex hormone, the basic task of which is the normalization of testosterone production in the human body. One more very significant task is to block estrogen, since a significant level of estrogen concentration in the blood may be the primary reason of breast growth.
At the standard criteria, the estrogen level in human blood is rather low, and the use of steroids causes an increase in the concentrated level of estrogen. Due to all these factors changes in the human body, that are specific to woman body, occur. Also, the medication is used to avoid fluid retention in the epithelium. Tamoxifen only lowers the entire effect of estrogen without inhibiting the process of aromatization. Steroids are converted to estrogens, but the drug inhibits the estrogen receptors for similar molecules. Therefore, it is recommended to use Tamoximed together with Proviron. Medication is also during diets, because it has an auxiliary effect to the fat burning process. It is recommended to use the Tamoximed with preventive purposes for athletes, who are prone to the problem with breast glands and water accumulation, while taking a variety of steroid courses. It is also recommended to take the drug at the end of the course to improve testosterone production.
Nowadays the market of drugs that are related to athletic nutrition is completely filled with a variety of steroids and medicaments for fat burning. But among them there is a really special and unique one - tamoxifen. This drug is related to a group of so-called sexual hormones. Some years ago this drug was used to treat neoplasms in the mammary glands among women. Today, his effects are much broader. In bodybuilding and other sports, tamoxifen is used to minimize the growth of female hormones in the athletes' bodies. Combining its taking with steroids, you can achieve the desired result. Tamoxifen will provide you with:
·A significant increase of strength indicators;
·Build of excellent muscle mass;
·Fast weight loss.
The cost of such drugs at the market is not the lowest. Therefore, while buying such type drugs, it is highly recommended to contact only the trusted stores, which have proven themselves only from the positive side. We offer all customers only original products at an affordable price. Tamoxifen, purchased from us will be of high quality and will help you to achieve the desired results. The feedbacks from our regular customers speak for themselves. Our website directly cooperates with Balcan Pharmaceuticals for providing you with the top-notch medicaments at the reasonable prices. We recommend you not to economize on your health by purchasing low-cost drugs, because basing on hundreds reviews from users, in the majority of case such medicaments are fake. If you have decided to seriously lead a sport lifestyle and achieve high sport goals without causing harm to your health, be very attentive when purchasing such drugs. Also to avoid possible side effects and protect your organism from various negative influence of such medicament, it is also highly recommended to be stick to the dosage and not exceed it in any case.

It's about boys.
Read it here!
And enjoy.
Read it here!
And enjoy.
Don't be too eager to ask
what the gods have in mind for us,
What will become of you,
what will become of me,
What you can read in the cards,
or spell out on the ouija board,
It's better not to know.
Either Jupiter says
This coming winter is not
after all going to be
The last winter you have,
or else Jupiter says
This winter that's coming soon,
eating away the cliffs
Along the Tyrrhenian Sea,
is going to be the final
Winter of all. Be mindful.
Take good care of your vineyard.
The time we have is short.
Cut short your hopes for longer.
Now as I say these words,
the time has already fled
Backwards away--
Leuconoë-- Hold on to the day.
Also, I relish the times when it's super miserable, when I haven't slept or am hungover. If you can sit down and write when you're completely uninspired, completely miserable, hating everything you've ever written or thought, and just stay in the chair until something happens, then you know you're going to be OK.
DMT, ayahuasca ceremonies in the depth of the lush, leafy, Mayan ruins. A shaman waves his stick. Everything turns to liquid plastic and silk.
Burlesque atop a circus pony, a whip cracking, a stocking peeling back, silk scarves, champagne corks, crimson lipstick, and the midget ringleader in the top hat walks in circles, cackling at the big top.
The gods pick up the globe like a bowling ball and send it down the centre of lane. A crow is laughing from its belly. The birds flock round the skies on the surface; the birds form a patchwork blanket with the weft and warp of their wings.
Regret nothing. Not the cruel novels you read
to the end just to find out who killed the cook.
Not the insipid movies that made you cry in the dark,
in spite of your intelligence, your sophistication.
Not the lover you left quivering in a hotel parking lot,
the one you beat to the punchline, the door, or the one
who left you in your red dress and shoes, the ones
that crimped your toes, don't regret those.
Not the nights you called god names and cursed
your mother, sunk like a dog in the living room couch,
chewing your nails and crushed by loneliness.
You were meant to inhale those smoky nights
over a bottle of flat beer, to sweep stuck onion rings
across the dirty restaurant floor, to wear the frayed
coat with its loose buttons, its pockets full of struck matches.
You've walked those streets a thousand times and still
you end up here. Regret none of it, not one
of the wasted days you wanted to know nothing,
when the lights from the carnival rides
were the only stars you believed in, loving them
for their uselessness, not wanting to be saved.
You've traveled this far on the back of every mistake,
ridden in dark-eyed and morose but calm as a house
after the TV set has been pitched out the upstairs
window. Harmless as a broken ax. Emptied
of expectation. Relax. Don't bother remembering
any of it. Let's stop here, under the lit sign
on the corner, and watch all the people walk by.
