The Lumia 730/735 is one of the last Lumia devices with the Nokia branding. And during the time I spent with the device, I concluded, that this device is absolutely a worthy farewell of the Nokia brand on Windows Phone devices. Nevertheless, let us start from the beginning…
Design & Build Quality
Once again I got the orange version with its glossy plastic back. The flashy color is very attractive in my opinion and the smooth cover makes it feel very comfortable in the hand. Moreover it feels absolutely premium – of course not as premium as the Lumia 830 – due to the very sturdy construction. At first sight, it actually seems like the device would be build out of one piece. However, it is possible to remove the back cover to get access to the battery, the Micro SD card slot as well as the slot for the Nano Sim card (Lumia 735) or Micros Sim card (Lumia 730). As you maybe know I really praised how well this works on the Lumia 640 XL in my review. By contrast, on the Lumia 735 this process is really a torture – at least for me. After several attempts, I finally got the back off and I have to say I don't want to do that very often. This is the downside of the nearly out-of-one-piece-build, however if you don't change your SD card very often you won't really be annoyed by it. To get back to the glossy back: As said it feels quite premium and actually more premium than the one found on the Lumia 640. There the plastic feels slightly more cheap. As far as fingerprints are concerned let me just say: you will notice them!
The Lumia 735's design can be described as almost perfect. Not only is it unique but it also makes the device as comfortable to use as no other phone I've used so far. The left and right side are perfectly rounded to fit into your palm, while the top and bottom of the device are totally plan – which even let's you put the device on a table standing on the bottom. Ok, there's probably no use case for this position but still it's worth pointing out. The whole back is slightly curved too. This curve and the rounded edges and the compact size (134,7 mm x 68,5 mm) make the Lumia 735 give the device the perfect feeling in the hand. The Lumia 640 felt even blockier next to the 735 than it already is.
Adding to the overall good impression, the Lumia 735 is very light at 130,4 g.
Pros and Cons – Design & Build Quality
+ Extremely comfortable to hold
+ Feels premium
+ Well-conceived design with curves
+ Light
– Back cover hard to remove
– Fingerprints are noticeable
Before we get to my opinion about the display, first all the important specifications:
- Resolution: 1280 x 720 (316 ppi)
- Double tap supported
- Glance Screen is missing
With a resolution of 1280 x 720 the Lumia 735 doesn't have the highest resolution out there. Still 720p is more than enough for a 4.7" screen – I was pleased with the same resolution on the Lumia 640 XL as well, even though it has a much bigger screen. With 316 ppi the sharpness is actually higher than on the more expensive Lumia 830 (296 ppi), but of course this is not noticeable. If you're really looking for individual pixels than you will notice them, however overall the screen is very sharp. Really nothing to complain about here.
Overall, I am also pleased with the brightness. As with the Lumia 640 XL I've set the brightness on automatic most of the time. Despite being often slightly too dark in my opinion, there's nothing I could complain about. The highest brightness level is good, sometimes I wished it would be a bit higher though. But during my usage time it also was extremely sunny, which wasn't the case when I tested the Lumia 640 XL which I praised for its great brightness handling. On the other side the lowest level isn't as low as you would wish for it to be in the night – the Lumia 830's brightness can get lower and the Lumia 640's one even lower. So the Lumia 735 is good for usage in brighter environment (maybe not in direct sunlight), but if you often use your phone at night you might find the display to bright.
Thanks to the AMOLED screen colors are very strong and vivid. Since we've got color profiles you can even get more vivid colors by turning on "vivid mode". Of course this might be too oversaturated for some of you but personally I really like those vibrant colors. Especially for viewing photos, AMOLED for me wins. Another advantage of this display technology are the blacks, which just are black and nothing else: no greyish black, no light black. Just very deep, extremely nice-looking blacks. Even the Lumia 830's blacks, which are quite nice, just look to greyish when having both phones laying next to each other – especially on high brightness. But there are also disadvantages, aren't there? For sure! As for the whites, you have to except to never really see a true, pure white. There's always a yellow touch to them. Coming from an LCD display this really annoyed me at first, but you'll get used to it very quickly. At the end of the day, I'm really impressed by the color reproduction of the Lumia 735's display and I actually prefer it over the one of the Lumia 830.
Viewing angle
One word would actually be enough: satisfied! The viewing angles are pretty good and all in all I'm really happy with it. Ok, colors get slightly washed out and if you compare it with my iPod Touch 5. Gen, which has – let's be honest! – a great display, the viewing angles aren't that good. Anyway, most of the time I face my smartphone more or less directly and then colors and so on look really good.
I already mentioned under Design & Build Quality that the compact size of the device make it very easy to hold in the hands. But what about the 4.7" screen? I have to say after using the extremely big Lumia 640 XL it was a pleasure to have a noticeably smaller display again – even though I really got to appreciate the bigger screen. Having said this, the relatively small display on the Lumia 735 has its advantages in some cases (one-handed usage and typing), still after all the 4.7" form factor is too small for me personally. Watching videos or browsing the web just wasn't as enjoyable as on a phone with a bigger screen. But I just want to mentioned this again: This is a very subjective topic!
Double tap & missing Glance Screen
Like on many other Lumia phones, the 735 does have double tap to wake up the device. Furthermore it also supports double tap to turn off the display due to Update 2 and the on-screen navigation bar. As already mentioned so many times, I'm a huge fan of this gestures since they make turning on/off the display just much more convenient. That's also the case on the Lumia 735 – but sadly not completely. Whereas the latter works absolutely reliable, double tap to turn on the display is – surprisingly – not a great experience. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I have to say, I'm disappointed here. Because if this doesn't work 90 %< of the time, it's not useful anymore. I don't get anything out of it if I have to double tap three times and finally still need to press the power button to get the device turned on.
Something I missed a lot is Glance Screen. Hope to see this feature being a part of the device's successor (if there will be one)!
Pros and Cons – Display:
+ Brightness
+ Resolution
+ AMOLED screen (Gorgeous looking colors, deep blacks)
+ Overall good viewing angles
+ Double tap to turn OFF the display
– Double tap to turn ON the display
– AMOLED screen (Whites)
– Glance Screen is missing
Battery Life
The Lumia 735 has a battery capacity of 2200 mAh, which is exactly the same as on the Lumia 830. Given that fact it isn't that surprising that I got about the same usage values out of the Lumia 735 as with the 830. You will definitely get through one day with one charge, while some of you will even get through 1.5-2 days.
I'm sorry but I somehow can't find my usage data anymore! Sorry!
Still, here's how long it takes to charge the Lumia 735:
|Charging level
|0 min
|0 %
|60 min
|40 %
|Total: 2 h 55 min
Pros and Cons – Battery Life:
+ Good battery life
+ Replaceable battery
Like on most (or actually every?) Lumia, the speaker found on the Lumia 735 is backfiring. This for sure isn't an ideal placing and furthermore being at the bottom is a disadvantage too in my opinion since you block it more easily. I think Microsoft did a better job here with the Lumia 640 XL, where the speaker is right next to the camera. Still, I think you can't really blame Microsoft for the positioning as even many high-end smartphones from other companies have their speaker on the back. Anyway, let's move on the the quality which I would describe as "good enough". You don't really want to listen to music that often with the speaker but for podcasts, YouTube videos, games and so on the speaker's quality is acceptably good.
Pros and Cons Speaker:
+ Quality good enough
– Placement on the back
This topic is actually a very interesting one as I wasn't really expecting too much from the Lumia 735's camera since it just has 6.7 megapixels. The device showed me once again, that you cannot simply determine the camera quality by the amount of pixels. Of course the camera can't compete with one found on the Lumia 830, still if you compare the output with the one of the 8 megapixel shooter on the Lumia 640, the differences in sharpness are very minor. Pictures taken with the Lumia 735 not only look nice in terms of sharpness but also in terms of details and colors. If you zoom in, the pictures could be a little bit more detailed but that's complaining on very high level (in this price point). Viewing pictures right on the display is also a pleasure – again the AMOLED screen just gives the picture this "Wow-effect" at first sight. Colors also look quite natural. Of course you can get better cameras – but since I wasn't expecting that much and I found a great camera on the 735 I'm really satisfied.
As for the camera application one thing has to be mentioned: Unlike the Lumia 640 (XL), which is ranged below the 735, the device doesn't come with the Lumia Camera 5. Since I knew this already before, this wasn't a huge disappointment. At the beginning I had to get used to the old interface again, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I could get used to it. Launching the app takes noticeable longer than what I'm used to with Lumia Camera 5. With the Microsoft Camera there's also a second camera app preloaded, although not listed in the app list.
So all in all a great camera experience with some very nice pictures, while the camera app isn't the fastest one.
Oh, before I forget about it: The Lumia 735 features a 5 megapixel front-facing selfie cam, which produces some pretty nice shots. Still, have to say also the Lumia 735 didn't made me using the front camera more often…
Here are some pictures taken with the main camera:
Pros and Cons – Camera:
+ Surprisingly good picture quality (sharpness, details, colors)
+ 5 megapixel "selfie" cam (although I don't really need it)
– Lumia Camera 5 is missing
Nothing special here – or at least after I did the update to Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2. Before this update I once again was faced with the terribly unorganized settings app and double tap to turn of the display was missing. Anyway, now that I'm running Update 2 I'm perfectly happy. Using the on-screen navigation bar is (especially with the double tap gesture) a great experience. Using the Wiko Highway Star with Android at the moment (review following) learned me that the Windows Phone navigation bar is better than the one found on Android. You might ask you how on-screen buttons can be better but there's just one aspect to the WP navigation bar, which makes it far more usable: You can swipe it away! This annoys me really when using the Android phone – even more since I always launch Google Now when swiping up. Being able to test out an Android phone also pointed up what I really like about Windows Phone: You're getting pretty much the same experience on every devices. But of course there are also many things of which I have to say: Android gets the job done better. More about that in the Wiko Highway Star review…
Pros and Cons – Software:
+ Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 (new settings app)
+ On-Screen navigation bar
The Lumia 735 is equipped with a Snapdragon 400 and 1 Gb of ram – the same hardware as on the Lumia 640 (XL) and the Lumia 830. With that being said, it should be clear that there aren't huge differences in terms of performance. Daily usage is very fluid and I very rarely noticed a stutter. Gaming performance is also acceptable with games like SBK 15 (a great game by the way) running very fluid and providing nice graphics. Also app switching was surprisingly quick. Nevertheless you will have to deal with resuming screens now and then.
Pros and Cons – Performance:
+ Very fluid and smooth daily usage
+ Good gaming Performance
+ App switching surprisingly fast
– Resuming
The Lumia 735 is a great phone! It offers pretty much everything you need for your daily usage! If we summarize the whole review, we get to this list:
– Premium and comfortable feeling
– Extremely compact, well-conceived design makes it easy to hold the phone
– Overall really good display, especially great colors
– Double tap doesn't work as reliable as it should
– Glance Screen is missing, which is disappointing
– Good battery life
– Speaker: Not the best placement while quality is good enough
– Surprisingly good camera (Lumia Camera 5 is missing though), good selfie cam
– Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2: Finally, a great settings app
– Fluid daily usage, app switching could be better
If you don't need Glance screen and if you don't need the best Speaker out there, the Lumia 735 is the perfect phone for you! And after you once held it in your hands, you don't won't to give it back again! I promise, you will feel it!

Rebuild Credit With a U.S. Bank Secured Visa Credit Card
The U.S. Bank Secured Visa Card, which is from a large bank, usually have the best credit card terms. Your security deposit can range from $300 to $5,000 and you earn interest on it, which is excellent. The fine print notes that your application could be denied if you've had a bankruptcy, are less than 18 years old, or if your security deposit is less than $300 to start.
This bank reports your payment history to the three major credit bureaus, so if you use the card responsibly, you can rebuild your credit with this secured card. There aren't any rewards associated with the U.S. Bank Secured Visa Card, so we'll dive right into the numbers.
Rates and Fees
These rates and fees aren't too bad. The cash advance transaction fees are a little screwy, but I have a solution for that. You'll see what I mean when you get there.
APR: You get a variable rate of 20.99 percent.
Balance Transfers: There isn't a zero percent intro offer. Unless you're offered a promotional rate, the balance transfer APR is a variable 20.99 percent. The transfer fee is 3 percent if you transfer a balance with this application. But it's 4 percent if you transfer a balance at a later date.
APR for Cash Advances: You get a variable 23.99 percent. The transaction fee is 3 percent for a convenience check cash advance; it's 4 percent for a cash advance from an ATM, cash advance, or a cash equivalent cash advance. Let me make this easy for you. Don't spend the time trying to figure out which transaction fee applies. Just don't get a cash advance because interest on a cash advance starts ticking right away.
Annual Fee: You pay $35 per year.
Foreign Transaction Fees: It's 2 percent or 3 percent, depending on whether the transaction is in foreign currency or U.S. dollars.
Credit Limit: Your limit will be equal to your deposit amount.
The Bottom Line
This is a better-than-average card and finding a good secured card is tough and this is a decent option. Here's another thing I like that's stated on the card's website: When you've managed all of your credit obligations responsibly consistently for 12 months, you'll be well on your way to a strong credit standing, and we may be able to move you to an unsecured credit card product.
It's nice that U.S. Bank will come out and say this. Many issuers don't want to go on record with that type of encouragement, especially since 12 months is pretty fast.

Well hello there. I see you're still alive. Made it through both the apocalypse AND Christmas, then? Well done!
Surviving the apocalypse is not that big a deal, I guess – we've had several in the past few years and each one of them has been very unsatisfactory, from a destructive point of view, of course. I myself wasn't really looking forward to the end of the world as we know it anyway, so I cant say I was very bothered by the disappointing outcome.
I believe Christmas will actually have posed more of a challenge to most people, as I understand that for most of the population the holidays are a bit of an ordeal. I enjoy the holidays, but I'm just lucky to have fun relatives, plus I'm way too excited about eating.
But it's the 26th today and there's a fair chance that you're fed up with food by now. You'll have had 2 nights of getting stuffed with too much food at Gran's (first your own, then your spouse's), and now you can't imagine ever being hungry again. Like when you get dumped and you can't imagine ever being in love again, or when you get soaking wet in a blizzard and you can't imagine ever being dry and warm again, the most recent impression is always the strongest.
Take it from me though, when all of this Christmas is over (today or tomorrow, depending on which country you're in), it'll only take about a day (or rather, a night's sleep) and you'll get peckish again. If you're having trouble, I suggest you skip breakfast and lunch. By dinner I'm pretty sure you'll want to eat. The only problem is that you'll feel guilty.
That's why you could have this! Stuffed butternut squash. You can whip it up from left-overs you'll probably still have in the fridge (or is that just me, having these things in the fridge?), and it's vegetarian so fewer calories. Kinda. Except the creamy goat's cheese. But relax. You survived yet another apocalypse. You deserve this.
For about 2 people, you will need:
- The bottom half of one squash
- half a red onion
- less than half a courgette
- some goat's cheese, probably between 50 and 100 gr
- a clove of garlic
- two tbsp pine nuts
- some olive oil
Clean the squash on the outside, then cut it in quarters, remove the seeds. Save them, wipe them off with some kitchen tissue or a towel and cover them with oil and salt. They'll make a tasty snack if you bake them in the oven for about 10 minutes on a sheet of baking parchment.
Use a small knife to carve a tartan pattern (or something) into the squash, it'll soak up the cheese that way. Now mash the goat's cheese with a tsp of olive oil so that it becomes easy to spread, and cover the squash quarters with the mixture.
Slice the courgette into smallish chunks, chop the onion and the garlic and mix all the vegetable chunks with the pine nuts. Put this mixture into the squash quarters and bake them for about 40 minutes. You can eat the skin, but better avoid the dark bottom bits, they're a bit hard.

I've got Coachella on the brain, and I'm taking a little trip back to one of my creations from jacq's Spring '16 lookbook. Coachella is a time for men & women to not only chillax and listen to some great artists, but it's also an incredible time for fashion. This is an event that has every brand and every designer wanting top models, musicians, actors, vloggers, bloggers, etc. They want them in their looks for the Coachella events. And so with that being said keep your eyes open for so many great looks online. Because not only will they be pushing their lines to all of these people but they'll be pushing them to you too! They want their Coachella looks going viral. It's a month where us Californians find it very difficult not to eat, sleep, or think about anything else. LOL.
So let's talk a little more about fashion. I'm not typically one for the whole "boho/hippie chic" look which is what 90% of the "Coachella" birds flock too. I'm more of a laid back tomboy-ish girl who loves a good pair of heels, but when it comes to creating art. Well, that's another story. I'll create and play all day. This is a time to make your outfit a piece of art. So step outside your comfort zone whether it's boho, tomboy, tomgirl, preppy, hipster, mom-ish whatever it is that you're wearing seven days a week. Step outside that and be playful. This is a perfect time. This is what it's all about. Being free & feeling free.
Hope you enjoyed my second issue on FRI-NALLY! In case you missed my first post, you can read more about FRI-NALLY here

I received this book last Christmas and must confess I was not familiar with this author. How could I have been unaware of Wallace Stegner? In 1972 he won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction for Angle of Repose, and in 1977 he won the National Book Award for Spectator Bird. He was often called "The Dean of Wester Writers," and maybe that's a clue as to why I didn't know him. A staunch environmentalist, he served as a special assistant to Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall.
Stegner was a proud product of the West and much of his fiction is set there. With the glorious wealth of Southern writers we have, we Southerners may get caught up in that heritage and overlook other regional writers.
But onward to Crossing to Safety, which I'm finding to be a thought-provoking, elegantly-written novel. It's hard to explain what is meant by elegantly-written, but when you read something written by a true master, it makes all the difference in the world. It's the difference between Eudora Welty and John Grisham — you can tell the master writer from the person who just writes stories. With Stegner the sentences flow with richness and meaning that make you want to go back and read them again.
Crossing to Safety may be somewhat autobiographical. It's about the friendship of two couples, beginning in 1937. Both husbands are university English professors. The novel follows their friendship through 40 years of career ups and downs, health problems, children, successes and failures. The two couples come from totally different backgrounds: Sally and Larry Morgan come from the West and have no money and no family; Sid and Charity Lang are from the East and have all that the Morgans do not have.
When they meet, the couples are new to the University of Wisconsin. The Langs take the Morgans under their wing, providing them with luxuries they otherwise wouldn't have. When faculty cuts are made, the couples must part, but their binding friendship brings them back together. There are serious illnesses and other travails of life. Stegner's prose gives pause to ponder what friendship means and why some friendships endure the test of time.
Stegner taught at the University of Wisconsin, Harvard and Stanford where he founded the creative writing program. The list of students he taught reads like a Who's Who of successful Americans.

It's not my board but the PU you are inserting can also be poured, polyurethane is available in a bigger range than epoxy is. Anyway, I've used kwila wood for rails on my last one!downunder wrote: ↑Tue Mar 27, 2018 2:42 amGood stuff man!
So, what are the benefits of pouring it in the wood channels? Probably bonding. But than, I've never had one single board delininated on rails which were not poured, and not talking about a few boards either:)
Here, it's that simple and more important - clean with nothing to go wrong like spilling the resin everywhere (done that

Downunder,downunder wrote: ↑Tue Mar 27, 2018 7:59 amWhich issues?
How many bubbles you've got in the rails? That's probably more near wood line simply because this is where air is trapped and degassing (epoxy produces heat, heat will expand air bubbles). There is no way to control this. The air void can be trapped inside no matter what.
The premade PU rails eliminate this, as you see, it's very tight channel. For sure I'm using similar for inserts and fins.
And, it is highly repeatable, which diy pouring is simply not. Forget about the abs, it's too expensive and too much work.

Last month my husband and I took a trip to Yosemite National Park. I shared a photo of Bridalveil Fall in my previous post.
It was a gorgeous day. The weather was perfect - not too hot and not too cold.
While we were there, I took photos and even some short videos too. I uploaded the videos to my YouTube Channel. I'd like to share three of those videos with you today.
This first one is Bridalveil Fall.
These two are Bridalveil Creek.
There's just something so wonderful about listening to the sounds of rushing water. I hope you enjoyed the videos.
Thanks for stopping by!

How does one express grief?
Yesterday, Cheri, her cousins from Connecticut, and I toured Cantor's Art Center at the Stanford University campus. We visited also the grave of Henry Clay Lathrop, the brother of Jane Lathrop Stanford. 25 years ago I visited the grave for the first time while attending a conference in Stanford University.

The University of Hull's new sports centre is set to be the largest sports facility in the region.
With a development budget of £16m the University of Hull, appointed Space Architects to conduct a comprehensive options study and then in conjunction with Project Managers Gardiner & Theobald, to develop the concept design for the new sports centre within an affordable cost envelope.
The importance of the development has attracted attention from two notable bodies who have granted funding to the tune of £750k. This is made up of £500k from the FA and Premier Leagues Facilities Fund, and £250k from the Rugby Football Union (RFU).
The project, led by Mike Varlow of Space Architects came into being following the University's Strategy for Sport, released in 2016.
This strategy shaped the University's vision and mission going forward to 2020, but it ultimately determined that the existing sports centre was no longer fit for purpose and couldn't deliver to meet the standards of their future plans.
The strategy confirms the University's commitment to sport and active recreation at all levels, with a focus on participation, well-being, sustainability, competition and performance.
The new sports facility will incorporate a 12 court, competition standard sports hall with bleacher seating for 750 spectators, a 30 station strength and conditioning gym, and changing and support facilities in a separate pavilion. The new sports centre will open in the summer of 2018 before work begins to refurbish the existing listed sports building, ensuring continuity of the sporting facilities.
Plus there will be a new 3G pitch, complying to International Rugby standards – the only one in the region.
The existing sports hall will be refurbished to provide a 120 station fitness gym, two aerobics/spin studios, a martial arts combat gym and revamped changing facilities. This forms Phase 2 of the development and will be completed in July 2019.
The new sports hall will be a first class sports facility offering the full range of Sport England court sports, generating student appeal and attracting commercial interest as an event space and host venue for elite or international sport events. An important aspect of the development was that it be designed to meet International level netball standards.
The client outlined their desire for a facility that was functional yet inviting and stressed the importance of it not feeling like a 'run-of-the-mill' sports hall.
Initially, Space Architects carried out an in-depth feasibility study to generate the required assessments in a structured way. After gaining client approval, the design and project team began work on the refurbishment and remodelling of the sports centre to transform it into a 21st Century sports development.
The design team also had to adhere to Sport England Guidelines and ensure they followed government guidelines on training facilities.
The existing sports hall building was awarded a Grade II listing during the design process which meant that the development had to preserve its historical significance and context.
Space Architects have a wealth of experience of developing listed buildings and adapted the original design to create the new facilities. The new sports hall is now a modern homage to the existing building that is fit for purpose and meets the University's sports strategy vision.
Steve Curtis, Partnership & Project Manager at the University of Hull said that:
"Space Architects deserve a great deal of praise for the design, contribution and commitment to the project which has delivered on our vision. We love the design they have created."
Space Architects devised a sophisticated assisted natural ventilation system in the sports hall, to capture unwanted solar gain that can be exhausted in the summer but used in winter to heat the hall space. This was designed in conjunction with rooftop wind catchers, removing the need for mechanical cooling. Including these measures into the design of the hall provides a cost-effective and sustainable solution to moderate internal temperatures and humidity, in addition to improved comfort for all occupants.
Work is progressing well, and the changing pavilion and sports pitches that formed an early phase of the development are in the final stages of hand over to the client.
There are more than 50 sporting teams representing the University, and this investment is a commitment to supporting their development and a step towards realising the vision for a top-level sporting University.
The new facilities will boost the quality and size of facilities on offer at the University to meet a rising level of demand among students, as well as offering a high-quality sporting provision for visiting teams and the wider community.

Bangladesh's new Test opener Jahurul Islam should have been lauded for his patience in the Colombo Test and for bringing that aspect of batsmanship back into the team. Instead, his untimely dismissal in the second innings in Colombo has cast him in a negative light.
With less than an hour left to play on the third day and Bangladesh seemingly heading towards safety in the second Test, Jahurul tried to loft Rangana Herath straight down the ground. But the ball gripped, spun and beat the batsman who was stranded well short of the crease. It opened up the game for the hosts, allowing them to jam their foot in the door and they did it too. Mahmudullah was dismissed next ball, and Bangladesh were never in the game on the fourth day as Herath ran through the batting order, picking up seven wickets.
However, Jahurul's team-mates appreciated his work, and his intent to bat long has not been shaken: "Everybody is supportive because I tried to bat with patience. As long as I keep batting there will be someone else at the other end and if we can build a partnership, the opponent will always feel the pressure and runs will come. We are not Australia, that we need to score at four runs an over. We must kill time and runs will come automatically."
"I was at the wicket for a long time, faced every one of their bowlers, which gave me confidence. Test cricket tells you to work hard to build your innings. Then it gets easier. I was out in that easy period."
The dismissal was crucial because it gave Sri Lanka the breathing space they were looking for all through Jahurul's partnerships with Tamim Iqbal and then Mominul Haque. He could be blamed, but he couldn't have directly prevented the others from getting out. Jahurul's nearly four-hour stay at the crease was impressive given that this was his comeback into the Test team after almost three years. He has improved greatly as an opener in recent times, scoring heavily in domestic cricket at that position. What has also caught the eye is his ability to change his approach to meet the needs of the game, a point that often goes unnoticed.
These attributes make him a potential candidate to finally solve one of Bangladesh's big issues: Tamim Iqbal has been without a regular opening partner in Test cricket after Imrul Kayes lost his place due to poor form. Nazimuddin and Junaed Siddique have been given chances but failed miserably. While this is the first time he has opened the innings in international cricket, Jahurul has been an opener for Rajshahi Division in first-class cricket.
He missed out on a maiden international batting milestone when he fell to Herath for 48. He hopes to convert such starts into a big innings soon, not just because that will give him a cushion in terms of his place in the side, but also since that would free up his mind. "You need some big innings, which I haven't had in my career so far. I got out after scoring 40-odd in many innings, though I have scored big in domestic cricket. This is why I won't say I am mentally settled like someone like Nasir [Hossain].
"He scored a hundred against Pakistan and got his place cemented. I won't say there is a big gap between his and my ability. But he achieved something and found belief in international cricket. I am yet to achieve anything significant. Once I get it, I will be settled."

Credit for this sleight of hand must go out to Hana Kaaki, Ibtissam Rifai and Joseph Honein, whose works have been gathered together for an exhibition the SV has imaginatively entitled "Ceramic Exhibition".Each of these three Lebanese artists has cultivated their own distinct approach to the medium. One of Honein's untitled works depicts a figure made out of colorful wires, lying down on a ceramic bench.Only one of Honein works, an untitled mixed-media piece, is hung on the wall. A large Plexiglas panel is covered with ceramic feet. The gallery has given no information as to what the artist might be getting at with this work, but it is quite nice to look at. It assembles the work of three artists with three different ceramic practices.

Museum information and knowledge is persistently understood and communicated according to Eurocentric concepts and provides only a limited account of the experience of the museum environment as place. In this paper we develop a conceptual framework to guide how Digital Imaging Technology (DIT) can change the situation to an inclusive, less hegemonic approach.
Decolonising digital media design education requires an investigation of possible techniques that can be taught to designers as a way of approaching interactive design with an emancipatory agenda. Traditionally, interactive-media studies have been taught from a positivist or psychological stance focusing predominantly on theories of human activity and cognition. In this paper I argue that the humanities offer an additional social and ethnographic lens with which to focus on the socio-historic, political and economic context of interactive media artefacts.
This paper probes two areas relating to transcoding culture in a website interface development context. Firstly, culture is interrogated through the lens of current anthropological models of dimensions (traits/tendencies) of national culture. Secondly, transcoding anthropological models of dimensions of national culture into culturally adaptive website interfaces through the graphic design process.
This paper attempts to look at digital media and design education at a university level exploring the question of teaching software and medium specific technical skills over broader theoretical and conceptual ideas of contemporary technologies. In the past, the focus of digital media programs has been conceptual experimentation and innovation, it seems pedagogy is now being driven purely by technical concern. The university system demands the technical aspect of "digital media" to be taught, but the field demands the creative and conceptual.

These piano accompaniments have been recorded as practice tools and for use in early grade AMEB examinations. They feature performances of the accompaniment part for pieces in the corresponding AMEB grade books and we hope that they prove to be a valuable resource for students and teachers around the country. AMEB encourages candidates and teachers to rehearse and perform with accompanists wherever this is possible.
Recorded Accompaniments are available in hardcopy CDs from AMEB's Online Shop and AMEB Preferred Retailers OR as individual or album downloads from major digital music outlets like iTunes, Google Play and Spotify.
The first release of Recorded Accompaniments includes Flute Series 3 (Preliminary - Third Grade), Violin Series 9 (Preliminary - Third Grade) and Percussion Series 1 (Preliminary - Fourth Grade) with technical exercises. AMEB will continue to release Recorded Accompaniments for all relevant instrument syllabuses.
AMEB's new practice app MyTempo corresponds to the release of the Recorded Accompaniments, allowing users to speed up, slow down and loop any Recorded Accompaniment, backing track or recording through their smartphone or tablet at any speed they choose.
You may choose to use the Recorded Accompaniments as a practice tool and use your own accompanist in the exam room. AMEB strongly encourages playing with an accompanist whenever this is possible, however, we are aware that not everyone has immediate access to an accompanist. Availability of accompanists has become more and more of an issue - particularly in regional areas in recent years - and the overall cost of music education and exams has become an economic issue for many families. These are among the reasons AMEB has allowed for this alternative from 2015.
Bernard Depasquale, General Manager (AMEB) answers common questions regarding the AMEB's Recorded Accompaniments project in The Case for Recorded Accompaniments.
The Recorded Accompaniments can be used as a practice tool and in the examination room as an alternative to an accompanist. If you choose to use the Recorded Accompaniment in the examination room then you must use the '100% tempo' or 'performance' tempo. If you intend to use the Recorded Accompaniments in your exam in WA, it is important to read the Recorded Accompaniments Policy. This details the expectations associated with the provision and operation of your own equipment.
For practice purposes, the Recorded Accompaniments may be used in conjunction with the AMEB MyTempo app, available for Apple and Android devices.
There are certain practical considerations when working with a pre-recorded accompaniment, which have been addressed in the following ways:
We have included a longer silence than usual at the beginning of each track so that students have time to prepare themselves at their instrument after starting the track. If there is no piano introduction for the work, or if the tempo is unclear by the time the student is to come in, there is a two-bar click count-in to bring the player in.
In general, fermatas (pauses) are held for one-and-a-half to two times the duration of the note to which they apply. There are exceptions to this where it would be impractical or musically inappropriate. AMEB recommends that students and teachers familiarise themselves with these moments in the recordings so that there is absolutely no doubt as to how long a particular fermata will be held. In some instances, a click count-in has been included to assist in this regard. Similarly, where brief cadenza-like figures occur, there has been a reasonable amount of time allowed for the figure and then a click count-in to indicate when the accompaniment will go on. Students and teachers should familiarise themselves with these moments so that the cadenza figure can be played comfortably and naturally in the time allowed.
A click count-through may be included where necessary to allow secure navigation of unaccompanied passages.
AMEB is proud to announce the launch of its very first practice app, MyTempo, with the release of the Recorded Accompaniments.
MyTempo allows students to speed up, slow down and loop any recording through their smartphone or tablet. MyTempo corresponds to the release of the Recorded Accompaniments, allowing users to practise with the Recorded Accompaniment at any speed they choose. MyTempo is available for both Apple and Android smartphones.
The MyTempo app will allow you to purchase individual tracks from within the app. Alternatively, if you buy a hardcopy CD, you can transfer the tracks onto your device in order to play them through the app. While the app's main feature is to speed up and slow down the recording, it has some other features such as a 'loop function' that will allow you to practise the same passage time after time and a metronome function that will allow you to check the speed you are playing the recording.

The mission of the Jewish Day School Collaborative is to move Jewish education forward through school-to-school and teacher-to-teacher collaboration.
Bringing like-minded educators together to share ideas around goal-oriented projects, rooted in the passions and priorities of their schools, will help to improve the learning experience for all Jewish day school students.
The Collaborative is an opportunity for creative collaboration, innovation and exchange of ideas across our different schools. As active and involved participants we are able to share resources and develop professional relationships that broaden our perspectives. The Collaborative is a supportive structure for growth, allowing for critical feedback and helping the Judaic Studies department lead the way in our schools by driving innovation across all subject areas.

Following on from the recent several blog posts on the subject, I'm hoping to continue the process of taking discussions about social investment beyond the world of politicians, intermediaries and support providers by holding a free event.
It's taking place next Thursday at The Mill in Walthamstow, the community space where we (Social Spider CIC) are based. Details are here. Please sign up if you're interested in attending.

The new 2017 Volkswagen Crossblue is supposed to have a V6 engine
The 2017 Volkswagen Crossblue was leaked on Auto Sina just after its development was completed by the company. It was seen by a car enthusiast while it was being tested on the roads. This new vehicle by Volkswagen is a seven seater and is actually based on the 2013 concept of crossblue.
The new designing and development of this concept has given it a new look. It has identical looks like that of a Tiguan and 2017 Touareg. If we look at the specs of this car then we will come to know that it's pretty different from the two.
It might resemble them but it has its own individuality as well. It has a muscular bonnet which is unique on its own. The car is adorned with squared off arches that has given it a more impressive and rugged look.
The car will be launched soon and it will sit between Tiguan and Touareg in the Volkswagen's SUV line up which is actually growing in a really fast pace, according to AutoCar.
The crossblue concept which was released in the year 2013 had a few distinct features that we are hoping to be present in2017 Volkswagen Crossblue too. It had a powertrain of 187bhp with a 2.0 liter diesel engine.
It also have electric motors that are 54bhp each sitting on front. Along with that it has another one mounted at rear with 114bhp. The three power sources will provide the vehicle a total of 320bhp.
The battery used in the motors was a 9.8kWh lithium ion battery. We are hoping to get a V6 turbo charged engine in the car as the leaked picture also have the V6 badge at the back of it.

New Magic Spells and Items
Clevadoran has a new spell or two that he uses to protect the secrecy of his den. These spells were developed with the help of more powerful casters, and in the case of greater trackless domain, the other caster developed this extension of the original spell. These spells all deal with covering one's presence or signs of one's presence. He also has an item that allows him to benefit from one of the new spells.
Cloak of the Servant: This somewhat worn cloak is drab brown in appearance. It confers the effects of a servant's guise spell on the wearer.
Caster Level: 1st; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, servant's guise; Market Price: 2,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.
Servant's Guise
Servant's guise allows you to subtly alter your clothing, weapons, and equipment, but not your form, features, or body type, in a manner that makes you unworthy of notice. You must choose the style of clothing and decide what your weapons and equipment look like or whether they appear at all. This spell does not alter the perceived tactile (touch) or audible (sound) properties of you or your equipment. A battleaxe made to look like a dagger or a sash still functions as a battleaxe. If you use this spell to create a disguise, you get a +5 bonus on the Disguise check.
Note: Creatures get Will saves to recognize the glamer as an illusion if they interact with it (such as by touching you and having that not match what they see, in the case of this spell.)
Greater Trackless Domain
This spell, an improved version of trackless domain, affects a larger area and allows the caster to select which beings leave tracks in the domain, and which do not. The caster can select one creature, or one subtype of creature (for example, bears as a subtype of animals), per caster level. The selected creatures do not leave any trace in the trackless domain, and all other creatures leave normal signs of their passage. Thus, the caster can set up a trackless domain that allows him to track certain creatures, and not others. For example, if a caster was investigating an area where a lot of one type of animal, say wolves, lived, but wanted to find the elf bounty hunter hiding among them, the caster could set the area so that the elf's tracks remain, and other normal tracks for the area are excluded. It is also useful for hiding the passage of selected people, say a group of adventurers, while not eradicating all tracks in the area.
Obliterate Tracks
This spell obliterates all tracks and signs of passage in the area of effect. Scents vanish, broken twigs are repaired, and the area looks as if no one has passed through it in at least a month. The effect is instantaneous, and subsequent signs of passage remain. The spell cannot eliminate the tracks of Huge or larger creatures. Further, it cannot repair anything more than tiny branches on plants; it is not a plant healing spell and does not cure wounds (hit points) suffered by plants.
Trackless Domain
This spell creates an area in which no creatures can be tracked. In effect, all creatures passing through the area are affected by a pass without trace spell. The trackless effect affects beings only within the area of effect of the spell; once subjects leave the area they can be tracked normally. For example, if a bear passed into the trackless domain, it would suddenly cease to leave tracks, scent, or any sign of passage. If the bear later left the area at a different point, tracks and scent would resume.
Bringing the Parts Together
Dungeon Masters may want to tie these spells into the campaign through Clevadoran, though it could be clever to allow a foe of Clevadoran's to utilize his own spells against him! Perhaps the PCs become involved in a territory dispute between Clevadoran and another druid. What side would the PCs take?

A child's voice lingering,
screaming without making a sound.
Did you think about a lifetime of suffering,
about the lingering consequences,
that night?
Was it your anger and hatred surfacing,
or a different brand of depraved
that night?
The violated nights following…
don't know, can't remember
after that night.
A child's mind suppressing,
to survive, yet unable to thrive,
after that night.
And still that damaged voice is screaming
without making a sound.
January 2016, Christina Anne Hawthorne

(this was the only photo of the event I could find, via Rob Callahan's blog; I'm stealing it, but only so I can also direct people to his post on the event too)
Do we really need a recap? If you know anything about local hip hop and media, you probably know what the issues are. I want this piece to be more forward-looking, with practical, concrete things we can do to make things work better. But very briefly, a few points that stuck out for me:
- We have one of the biggest, most diverse, most talented hip hop scenes in the country, but there are a small amount of music writers in town and maybe one or two are hip hop-focused. The rest might cover the scene, but it tends to be a fairly shallow look at a small sliver of the scene.
- That leads to a kind of gatekeeper effect based largely on association: the acts that get the most quality coverage are very often associated with another famous act or a fashionable behind-the-scenes presence. In short, it's cliquey.
- That also leads to tokenism-- if media swoons over a particular Black male artist (or female artist), it allows them to not have to think about the other 50 out here making good music.
- Music journalists can always "do better" (and I think most are genuinely interested in that) but real progress has to be bigger than individuals "doing better." It's about representation; it's about the culture and especially the hiring practices at media institutions.
- And as much as we don't want to let local media off the hook, another common theme was artists building our own media, sharing resources, signal-boosting each other and understanding that getting local press or getting played on the radio isn't as powerful as we often make it out to be.
A few things to consider as we continue this conversation and make it more than just a conversation:
- As I mentioned, if we really want to fix these problems, it's about seeking out, hiring, and paying writers of color, writers who are hip hop heads, writers from underrepresented neighborhoods, and ideally intersections of those identities. Reed Fischer from the City Pages told me that if I knew of any writers to send them his way. So if you're interested, get at me or him.
- Writers who are already in position to cover hip hop can always do more outreach, expand the scope of their personal hip hop definitions, and strive to make the amount of hip hop coverage match the amount of hip hop here. Jack Spencer at City Pages is doing a great job. Rob Callahan from Vita.MN told me that he'd like to do more if we reach out to him.
- One really simple thing could be more regular hip hop features-- there will always be album reviews and concert announcements when they come up, but stuff like Jack Spencer's local mixtape roundups, or producer showcase playlists, or any recurring feature with a hook like that can be an easy way to institutionalize hip hop coverage.
- As for this May 10 event at the Fitzgerald, I think MPR can do a number of things to increase buy-in from the community:
- Make the planning meetings open to the public.
- Barring that, posting the meeting notes publicly so that the planning is transparent.
- Be super-wildly-mad-stupid intentional about the lineup. Let's get the other elements represented. Let's get the pioneers represented. Let's get the Northside represented. Etc.
- Work to secure a whole bunch of comp tickets that those of us who work with youth, particularly youth of color from underrepresented neighborhoods, can get those tickets out to anyone who might be interested.
- Make sure that this big event isn't the end of the relationship. As Tish Jones mentioned last night, let's get more hip hop acts on the Fitz stage (if the acts want to). If the Current really reps local music, let's get more than one hip hop show per week. Let's get a wider diversity of artists into the playlist.
CONCRETE THINGS ARTISTS CAN DOA common theme last night was "we can work harder." And that's true, but I don't want that to be a copout. This discussion was/is about holding media accountable, and so we shouldn't turn it back on ourselves and put all the burden on our shoulders. That being said, sure, there are a few things we can do better:
- I think more of an understanding of how media actually works can be helpful. We should push the media to do better, BUT that doesn't mean we should have a sense of entitlement. They don't come looking for your brilliance; you have to make your brilliance available to them. So how do you do that? The next point:
- Even when the game is BS, it can help to know the game. For anyone out there who doesn't know how to write a press release, or who to send it to, or how to effectively manage your presence on social media, and all the other practical things that go along with succeeding as an artist, I'm interested in sharing that knowledge. You can get in touch with me, but this is also about collaborating more in a general sense. When we crew up, when we pool resources, we all do better.
- Guante: Six Things I Wish I Knew When I Was Getting Started as an Artist
- Big Cats: How to Get Local Press
- Finally, we can build our own media, leveraging social media power while creating new outlets. Even more than that, we can understand that "media" isn't just newspapers and radio stations; it's how we transmit any ideas-- so word-of-mouth, flyers, however we promote. As Toki said last night, going directly to your people to spread the word about your work is going to be more effective than any write-up or radio play.
Here are a few concrete ideas that came up last night:
- Why isn't there a blog dedicated to MN hip hop? I mean, I'm sure there are a bunch out there somewhere, but I mean one that is intentional and well-trafficked and curated by people with an authentic relationship to the culture? I could see one with 3-4 posts per day (maybe a couple local features-- new songs, reviews, concert previews, etc., and one"from the vault" feature of an older song); with the right people involved, that could be really powerful.
- I know: "so why don't you do it Guante?" I think a project like this would have to be a crew of people's main project. I'd love to contribute, but to do this right would mean to do it with laser focus.
- Toki mentioned getting a room at McNally Smith once or twice per month to continue these kinds of conversations, plan for the future, and organize together. So look out for that.
- Toki also mentioned bringing back the TC Hip Hop Awards, and someone else mentioned bringing back the TC Celebration of Hip Hop. Personally, I'm all for big events, but I also think big events can be a time/energy/money drain. I'd rather see big events arise organically from new organizations, which relates to the previous point. Still, something to consider for anyone interested.
- Me and Big Cats, and me by myself, have run workshops on introducing media skills to any artists who want them-- so again, press releases, using social media effectively, getting your work reviewed, etc. Feel free to be in touch if you run a youth program or have access to a community space where that could be useful.
To wrap up, I keep thinking about the difference between a "scene" and a "community." We have both here, but I'd say that right now, the scene gets all the attention, and we could do a lot more to build the community. And part of that is the same old "hip hop is beautiful and brings people together" stuff, and part of it is practical too-- a more supportive, intentional, deeply-rooted community with respect for the elders, the youth, all the elements, etc., is a breeding ground for success. Media can't be the driving force for that, but it can play a role.
What else? This is just my take-away from last night, but it's absolutely not everything that needs to be said. Feel free to leave a comment.

The Story Behind the Hilarious Video of the Man Who May Be the Worst Skier Ever
Adrian Solano may be the worst skier. But that's okay.
Cross-country skiing is not easy. You would probably assume, however, that someone competing in the Nordic World Ski Championships would know how to, you know, ski.
But not Adrian Solano.
Solano is a former cyclist, but that doesn't mean it was an easy transition to gliding through the snow. In fact, he didn't even train for the race—but not because he didn't want to.
According to the BBC, the Venezuelan attempted to travel to Sweden to spend a month training on snow before the official competition. Solano told The Peninsula that he was deported from France after attempting to hop on a train to Sweden.
"They did not believe that I ski in Venezuela," he said. "I told them that we train on wheels. I only had 28 Euros with me and the police accused me of trying to immigrate because things were going badly in my country."
Solano said all of his travel documents were valid and up-to-date, and he was also carrying his invitation to travel to the competition by way of Sweden. He also had confirmation that his travel expenses were all taken care of.
So, you see, it wasn't Solano's fault at all. Since he lives in an area where practicing in real snow is near impossible and he was planning to get a whole month of snow time in before the race, it would've been great to see what he could've done.
Knowing what we do now, the video footage fo his incomplete run-in with the obstacle course is heartwarming. If only we could all be a little more like Solano.

A nightmare of ne'er-do-wells and the endless betrayals between them as supremacy over a blighted land is sought. A demon leads a rebellion with his sisters. Through a multitude of dimensions they hunt their father and together slay him. The demon turns his tricks upon his sisters next. He watches the hatred die in their eyes under his blade and spells.
The survivor rests, but not easy. His mind is full of the many different ways he may die if a family member somehow lives, or if a new challenger decides it is their time to come to the fore. His final dream within my dream is that of having his throat slowly cut, blood and breath gurgling out under pain that blots out the light. His last sight is the grimly victorious visage of this betrayer. But this is a dream he is used to, a fate he has imagined and escaped so many times it is a song whose words are uttered unconsciously.
He turns in his sleep as I wake and face the day.

Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci, who dressed Zoe Saldana in that frothy purple concoction at the Academy Awards, is pulling the label's couture line from the runways in favor of a more exclusive, not to mention smaller, couture collection.
In place of staging a catwalk extravaganza,Tisci will present the looks - and there will be just ten - in a luxe18th-century town house on the Place Vendôme, WWD reports. While it sounds like a cost-cutting measure, Tisci insists not. In fact, the couturier asserts that this new plan is 35 percent more expensive. The installation will showcase his sumptuous gowns on both mannequins and models. Photographer Willy Vanderperre will shoot a look book featuring top models Lara Stone and Mariacarla Boscon.
The collection will focus on sumptuous eveningwear, which is what Tisci's elite clientele, the likes of which apparently don't go to fashion shows anyway, in order to protect their privacy, expect from him. All the pieces will boast embroidery and there will be nary a black dress in the bunch.
In more design news, the house is also cooking up some high-level collaborations, including a high-end jewelry collection which will launch next season.

The S... Word
Beware: Hard-hitting questions ahead....
Have you ever thought about suicide?
Not about actually doing it (though perhaps you have?), but thought about it in terms of when someone else tells you they are feeling like ending it all?
What do you feel about someone taking that action for him/herself?
How might you even start to assess the risk factors for that person?
And what if the client in front of you tells you that it's the end for them?
What buttons does that press for you personally?
Many years ago I worked with Samaritans and we often commented that those who talk about it, rarely actually do it. It's the ones who don't talk about it, who go through with it.
Now I realise this is difficult territory, and particularly if you have been to that point yourself.
But if the thought of working with these elements feels too risky for you, then it will undoubtedly feel too risky for your client to talk to you about as well.
Take a moment to reflect on how you feel. What do you believe for yourself about suicide? How might you manage those feelings and your responses to your client? How you will work with the rest of the session? And how you will work through what is next in your client's process?
It's BIG stuff. But so is life. And death. And this is the stuff of therapy rooms.
Before Christmas I was reading an online article entitled "Breaking the Stigma" which focussed on enabling people to talk much more about suicidal thoughts and actions.
What would it feel like for you, to specifically ask your client if they feel suicidal?
I haven't ever considered taking my own life. But I have worked with those who have, both in thought and action.
It's part of life.
So how are you feeling right now, reading and thinking about this process?
What about the S word....?
For you? For your client? For your clinical work?
What do you need for yourself right now? How will you meet that need for yourself?
Take Care.

Lutheran Worship focuses on God offering us His gifts of forgiveness and love, and our responding to Him with offerings of thankfulness and praise.
Lutheran Worship focuses on encountering Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit in Word and Sacrament. We gather in worship to claim the promise of Jesus: "Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them". (Matthew 18:20)
Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth! (Psalms 96:1)
Martin Luther wrote hymns and introduced hymn singing as a regular part of Christian worship.
In prayer, we are connected to God. A Christian learns best to pray in the gathering of God's people. A believer's prayer is joined by the Holy Spirit with the prayer of all God's servants of every time and place.
Go in peace, serve the Lord. The Holy Spirit who has gathered the church also disperses God's people. Our faith deepens as we worship the Lord and are enabled to go out into the world to share our love of God and neighbor.
