Why Giving Tuesday Matters
When I was a teenager, my mom and I used to go shopping on Black Friday. Well … she would shop. I would usually end up sprawled on the sidewalk in front of the mall, reading a book and waiting for her to finish buying gifts for our family. It should be noted, though, that my mom didn't necessarily enjoy these dawn excursions with a whiny teen. She did it because she loved us, and she wanted Christmas to be special. Our family wasn't wealthy, and she saved all year to buy those gifts — to demonstrate in a tangible way that she knew us, knew what we liked. And that she loved us. And even the malls couldn't interfere with that mother's heart.

Like a good monster truck show, the Byron (Illinois) Dragway's annual World Power Wheel Standing Championships is one event in which carnage often comes with the price of admission.
A one-of-a-kind exhibition event that its most staunch competitors plan for all year — and in some cases, spend all rebuilding their car after the wild ride of the previous edition — the WPWSC is a no-holds-barred contest where only one thing matters: impressing the crowd with the flight altitude and attitude of your machine. During many of its early years, height alone was often enough to get the job done as racers went skyward right at the hit and, on occasion, simply flipped their vehicles over backward to the delight of the crowd. But in recent years, the top competitors have set their aim on distance, trying to mimic purpose-built wheelstanders by covering the entire quarter-mile on their back tires (and bumpers). Because hey, length matters.
At this year's just-completed WPWSC, competitor Jason Schubert, driving his '87 Oldsmobile Cutlass, attempt to do precisely that and collect his second WPWSC title (hr won it in 2015 and has been a runner-up twice) ; however, as he went barreling down the racetrack, nose hung in the air as if held in place with puppet strings by the heavens, the Olds began tracking to the left, and as it drew ever-closer to its own shadow on the guardrail, it became increasingly clear this wast't going to end well.
To the applause and subsequently the shock of the large crowd assembled at Byron, Schubert's machine, still high in the air, hooked the guardrail near the eighth-mile mark and quickly exited stage left, barrel-rolling several times in the grass as the many cell phone cameras in the crowd fired away. According to Schubert , he was utilizing a radio headset to communicate with his crew to alert him of any imminent danger, but did not hear any radio transmissions as he went down-track, unaware of his situation from high in the air until he struck the wall and became a passenger.
Thankfully, Schubert was able to climb out unharmed, knowing he'd sacrificed life, limb, and machinery to give the crowd the show they wanted, and probably just fine with that. Unfortunately, however, his wheelstand was not deemed best overall, as that honor went to many-time champion Brian Ambrosini in his pumpkin-orange Gremlin. Schubert instead had to settle for Most Violent Wheel Stand and the overall runner-up.

Disneyland has unveiled its latest culinary invention in the form of bread shaped to look like the head of Baby Groot, the childlike plant superhero from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 film. The new park snack comes on the heels of Disneyland's recently opened Guardians-themed ride -- Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout, in which park attendees team with Rocket Raccoon to save the spacefaring hero team from the villainous Collector.
The Groot bread comes in two varieties: sourdough and version with jalapeno cheddar hair and black olive eyes. The sourdough variation can be purchased at the park's Fairfax market, while the jalapeno version can be bought at the Cosmic Canteen. Both versions of the Groot bread are available exclusively at Disneyland.
RELATED: Next Two Avengers Films Will Impact Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Ever since the Groot bread debuted, social media sites like Instagram and Twitter have been flooded with pictures of the snack.
okay they have baby groot heads of bread in Disneyland i NEED to go immediately pic.twitter.com/u2ZO203nNg— p sawyer (@sydneyybeee) May 26, 2017
Baby Groot first debuted in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 after a version of the character was hinted at in the conclusion of the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. The design of Baby Groot proved popular enough to warrant various dancing Groot statues and figurines, but his claim to fame was cemented when a more mobile version of the character debuted in Guardians 2, providing an electrifying dance number for the film's opening sequence.

Dean Baker
The Hankyoreh, April 1, 2018
That wasn't the reporting in most news outlets, but that is the most likely outcome from his new contract to head Tesla for the next decade. As explained in press accounts, Musk stands to earn $2.6 billion if he increases the valuation of Tesla stock from its current $55.8 billion level to $650 billion over the next decade. If he doesn't hit this target, he gets zero. That sure looks like a commitment to spend the next decade working for free.
To be clear, the target of $650 billion is slightly less daunting if we adjust for inflation. It comes to about $530 billion, if we assume 2.0 percent average inflation over the next decade. That still implies a real return averaging just over 25.0 percent a year. That's pretty good in anyone's book.
Musk's target is even more impressive when we consider where Tesla is at present. It is a company that has never made a profit or even come close to making a profit. Its main trait is consistently falling behind in its production dates and targets.
If we assume that in ten years Tesla will have a price-to-earnings ratio around 20-to-1; a reasonable level for what will be a relatively mature company in 2028. Musk's target valuation implies profits of just under $32 billion for the year. That comes to around 1.5 percent of projected profits for US corporations in that year.
By comparison, Apple currently accounts for a bit more than 2.5 percent of all after-tax corporate profits, but few other companies have crossed the 1.0 percent threshold. In effect, Musk is betting that Tesla will turn around from big money loser to one of the most profitable companies in the history of the country.
While this may seem an unlikely story, Elon Musk is taking the risk. If Tesla doesn't have a remarkable turnaround he takes home nothing. If he does manage to make the company immensely profitable, then shareholders will have no basis for complaining about his $2.6 billion pay for the decade.
Unfortunately, this scenario is uncommon for most corporate CEOs. Of course, they do well when the company prospers, but they usually can count on big paychecks even when the company flounders. The history of American business is littered with examples of CEOs who walked away with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in pay after driving a company into a ditch.
The latest poster boy is former Wells Fargo CEO, John Stumpf. He walked away with more than $130 million in back pay and benefits even though he left the bank mired in scandal. In fact, former Federal Reserve Board Chair, Janet Yellen, sanctioned Wells Fargo as one of her last acts as Fed chair.
Typically, CEOs can largely set their own pay because of a corrupt corporate governance structure. The boards of directors, who have the most direct control over CEO pay, typically owe their seats on the board to the CEO and other top management. Since being a board member is a very lucrative position (typically providing hundreds of thousands in pay annually for maybe three hours a week of work), directors have little incentive to ever rock the boat by suggesting a reduction in CEO pay.
I recently did an analysis of CEO pay with Jessica Schieder of the Economic Policy Institute. We tested if a change in the tax treatment of CEO pay for health care insurers affected the pay for CEOs in the industry. Since the change unambiguously raised the cost of CEO pay to the companies by more than 50 percent, we would expect to see some reduction in compensation if CEO pay was closely related to their value to their company.
We beat up the data every way we could, but still found no evidence of any reduction in the pay of CEOs in the health insurance industry. It is difficult to see these results and still believe that high CEO pay reflects their value to companies, as opposed to just being the result of a broken corporate governance structure.
For this reason, the Musk pay package is a really great model. While we might not expect other CEOs to have such ambitious targets for themselves, pay packages in the tens of millions of dollars should depend on producing extraordinary returns for shareholders, not just filling the time and letting the company's profits and stock price rise with the economy.
Forty years ago CEOs earned 20 to 30 times as much as ordinary workers. That would put their pay in the $1 to $2 million range today. This seems like a good starting point for corporate boards to target. If CEOs think they are worth 10 or 20 times this amount, then let them sign contracts under which their pay is contingent on returns that hugely outpace their competitors.
My guess is that few CEOs would go the Elon Musk route because they don't believe they can produce outsized returns for shareholders. But if they don't believe in their own abilities, why should the shareholders? It's time to bring CEO pay back down to earth.

A children's TV show has come under fire over what appears to be a very rude drawing.
Mother Chey Robinson shared a clip from the first season of Netflix show Maya the Bee, which sees Maya fly into a log to hide after spotting something amiss on the bark.
Chey was horrified to discover that the log featured what looked like a drawing of a penis, which she says "disgusted" her, The Daily Mail reports.
The clip has since been viewed more than a million times on Facebook, with fellow parents sharing in Chey's shock at the inappropriate clip.
Taking to Facebook last week, Chey shared the video with the caption: "Disgusted!!! Please be mindful of what your kids are watching!!"
She said the scene she filmed was from the 35th episode of the first season of Maya The Bee, which is available on Netflix in the US, and has now been turned in a feature length film.
Chey said: "I wanted to do this video, I'm actually pretty disgusted at the moment. There was a post I saw on Facebook about an episode of Maya the Bee. Those of you who have kids that watch it I just really encourage you guys to be mindful and be careful of what your kids are watching
"On the post on Facebook it was about something inappropriate on the show on a log so I have it paused so you can see what i'm talking about. It's Maya the Bee season one episode 35. I've paused it just so you guys can see that i'm not lying or editing anything whatsoever, this is right on Netflix."
Chey filmed the relevant scene, and zoomed in to show what looks like a drawing of a penis.
She continued: "I know i'm not going crazy and i know that something like this shouldn't be in a kids' show whatsoever. I'm extremely disgusted by it, there should be no reason my kids have to see something like this.
"I don't know if they're gonna do something about this or what but there's no reasons why this should be in this show. So I'm just giving you guys a heads up just be careful what your kids are watching seriously be mindful and hope that helps."
The studio behind Maya The Bee is yet to respond to requests for comment.
The video has been viewed more than a million times, and despite since being removed from Facebook, it prompted a flood of comments from alarmed parents.
One commented: "What the f*** people saying is a mushroom? If it's a mushroom how come it disappears on the close up scene?"
"... This is scandalous. This is how they implant subliminal thoughts," another said.
A third said: "Everyone saying no young kid will see it? It's not the point of them taking notice the brain takes notice of everything this is a subliminal message."
However, others saw the funny side and said children wouldn't even notice the crude drawing.
"I didn't even notice that at first. I sincerely doubt your kid's gonna notice it, much less understand what it is," one posted.
Another commented: "Kids wouldn't even notice this. Most adults wouldn't even notice it unless it was pointed out to them."
"If it were more obvious then yes I'd think it's disgraceful. Fact is, that drawing in there is barely noticeable and I agree with others that it's probably there for the adults that are forced to watch these programs all the time," a third agreed.

The following essay is by SCAD student Allison Westerfield, 2015.
St. Simons Island is one of the many coastal areas in Georgia that was first inhabited by Native Americans. Before they settled in permanent villages, American Indians came to the coast for shellfish, hunting, and a wide variety of edible plants. [i] The Native Americans would then head back inland towards their villages. Moving between the coast and inland began to change, and the indigenous people moved towards the coastal areas permanently. The Guale settled around the year 1500 in St. Simon's with almost 200 people, establishing a village called Guadalquini. [ii] This tribe most likely who took up a permanent residence on the coast to better trade an abundance of spoils off the rich coastal lands. By settling permanently on the coast, the Guale would no longer have to move back and forth.
The Mocama and Guale are the best-known tribes that inhabited most of the Georgia coast, though there are others about whom less is known. The cultures of all the inhabiting tribes had such extreme similarities that the European settlers could not differentiate between them. [iii] It is said that in 1568 Spanish missions inhabited Georgia coastal villages. [iv] The Mocama are the first known to have interacted with the Spanish, who erected missions to help convert the pagans to Christianity. [v] For 100 years the Spanish missions controlled the coast. The missions would go on to run Native American provinces and change the native societies. The area was no longer purely aboriginal. [vi] The four main Mocama provinces spread from north of St. Simons to the south of the St Johns River. The two known missions on St Simons were San Buenaventura de Guadalquini and Santa Domingo De Asjo. In 1655 the provinces consisted of ten villages, eight had Spanish friars, four villages were Mocama tribes, and six were known to be Guale. [vii] However long the Spanish missions were in place, it was difficult to hold. Records show priests endured martyrdom while working beside Native Americans, but with effort, the Europeans converted most tribal members. [viii] There were many Native American uprisings and challenges from France and Great Britain. In 1661 the Guale and Mocama provinces were attacked from "mainland" tribes. Some 500 to 2000 mainland Native Americans carrying firearms were documented as attacking from north. A Guale village, that was located in modern day Darien, was the first to be attacked. The Northern warriors then proceeded south, continuing attacks on the Guale and Mocama provinces. [ix] In 1686 the Spanish had to abandon the Mocama coastal missions. [x] The Native American rebellions and pirate raids became too much to handle. [xi] Focusing on French and British invaders, the Spanish had to protect their settlements in Florida.
In 1736 James Oglethorpe established Fort Frederica. The British began to move out of Ft Frederica, and until the 1780s, the region was almost uninhabited. [xii] After the American Revolution ended, the island turned to agricultural production and fourteen cotton plantations developed. Plantation life did well for St. Simons and continued into the Civil War. However, by August of 1862 Union troops were using the island as a safe harbor for freed slaves. [xiii] The economy would not recover until the 1880s, when the island became a resort getaway. Even today, the island is filled with beach homes and is a popular place for people to vacation.
In the 1930s an airport was planned to be built on St Simons Island. In 1936 when construction was underway, Native American burial grounds were discovered on what is now the Mckinnon Airport. Smithsonian archeologists were brought in to conduct a dig on-site. Archeologists found that before 1500 natives were living in villages in this area, some 3,000 post "moulds" were found displaying evidence of houses with clay floors. [xiv] Workers uncovered around 80 burial grounds with some 150 individuals. The bodies were buried in two ways. The first being on tree platforms or in burial huts bundled together until decomposed. The second and most popular way was a single burial where the body was fully extended, facing artifacts such as pottery urn. Approximately 21,000 artifacts were found on this dig, and the findings can be found in the Museum of Ft. Frederica or the Smithsonian. [xv] On the site of the St. Simons Park marker, a skeleton of six and a half feet was found in the burial mounds. He was buried with important offerings and is thought to be an important member of the tribe, even though he was most likely no older then a teenager. [xvi]
Today the St Simons Park historical marker resides in a residential area. The oak covered Native American burial grounds are surrounded by homes, ballparks, and playgrounds. Only two blocks away from the main beach road, the park is used for town events. The McKinnon airport, where the archeological dig took place, is about a three-minute drive from the marker. Residential areas and golf courses surround the airport, just like the park. St. Simons Island remains a resort beach town today.

True Story.
I was recently reminded of a fascinating tale involving Quincy Jones, the legendary record producer. The story starts with Quincy attending a high society dinner party. It reached the time in the evening where he had to excuse himself to use the host's lavatory. After some time had passed — without a word to the host or any other guests — Quincy left the lavatory and walked straight out of the front door and down the driveway.
Five or ten minutes later the doorbell rang and the host opened the door to find Quincy's butler standing in front of him with a toilet plunger in one hand. The butler introduced himself and explained that he had arrived to unblock the toilet. He made his way to the lavatory and went about his business before leaving the party. Neither the butler nor Quincy were to return.
From this day onwards, when you block a toilet with a huge poo, please be informed that this is called a 'Quincy'. I recently did a 'Quincy' myself. I really wish I had a butler with a plunger though.
Much Love,

The Retailers Association of Massachusetts recently recognized One Eleven Chophouse as the "Restaurant of the Year" with its distinguished Awards of Excellence (REAMAE). The award is given to a restaurant that continuously provides its patrons with exceptional service, menu selection and a pleasurable overall experience. Previous restaurant award winners have successfully combined extraordinary cuisine, service, and atmosphere and there is no doubt that One Eleven Chop House does just that.
"We're truly grateful for the loyal customer support that we've received here in Worcester," says Robb Ahlquist, founder of the Worcester Restaurant Group and owner of One Eleven Chophouse.
"We are extremely proud of all three of our restaurants (including The Sole Proprietor and VIA). As with children, we have no favorites," continues Ahlquist. "However, we are especially proud of the amazing team at One Eleven. So nice to see their hard work and dedication being recognized."
The award to the One Eleven Chophouse comes at a time when Worcester has been recognized for its dining scene renaissance, including recent articles in the New York Times, Boston Globe, and the Providence Journal. Recognition by the Retailers Association of Massachusetts is further proof that something special is happening in Worcester with its many great restaurants. There is little debate that the One Eleven Chophouse is a Central Massachusetts icon, but what's telling is that it has evolved and continues to be a standard of excellence.
"The Awards of Excellence was created 19 years ago as a way to shine a light on the hidden jewels of the retail industry here throughout the state. It is vital to recognize those innovators that are doing it the right way for their customers, and to also use them as beacons for others to follow," says Jon Hurst, President of the Retailer's Association of Massachusetts.
Historically, most REAMAE recipients have been Boston-based businesses. In the past ten years, only two other award recipients have emerged from Central Massachusetts: Crompton Collective was recognized for Best Creative Concept in 2014 and Vaillancourt Folk Art was recognized for Community Service in 2007.
"We hope the recognition will encourage guests from around the state and region to come visit us and sample all that Worcester has to offer," enthuses Ahlquist.

I have made a few of these teeny beaded post boxes now. They are so fun and quick to make.
The pattern is by thread a bead www.threadabead.com as part of their beaded village collection.

A few months ago (I'm not so good at getting round to posting my creations) I made this beaded house for a friend's birthday.
For the house shape, I used the gingerbread house from the Threadabead company (I love this company, they have some amazing beading patterns and kits that you can buy – check them out). I transferred the house pattern to paper and designed each side of the house, so that my pal had her own unique mini home. That's her and her puppa going out for a walk.
I certainly learned somethings from this. I need to use beads with more contrast next time, so that the picture stands out more. You can see a video clip of this house on my Instagram.
I found this adorable little fae at Nottingham's Pagan Pride festival at the weekend.
It was made with love by Sapphire of the Stars http://www.saphireofthestars.co.uk based in Clay Cross.
She now hangs in my lounge, spreading her fae love and spirit. 🙂
Chloe's disco bead workshop was the first time I had worked with superduo beads. I hadn't considered using them before but they were really fun to play with and the workshop gave me the push I needed to design some of my own beads using superduo/twin beads.
In the first instance I tried making variations of Chloe's disco beads. I had had the idea at the workshop and sat down when I got home with a supply of 2 hole beads and had a go. Yeah…they didn't work, a definite reinforcement of the phrase "it ain't broke, don't fix it".
So it was time to try something of my own. I played around with various beads and threads until I saw the start of something I liked. I added to this design and tweaked until it worked and I made this lantern bead.
Now to work on variations of the design and see what can be done with them:)
When you know you should tidy up but crafting is so much more fun!

Dennis Lee Xiong – Coaching
PROTECT YOUR DREAMS: Don't let negative talks bring you down I couldn't help but sit here today and reflect on my journey that I've been to and where my life is at today. Being a coach at this level is never an easy task, and sometimes you have to take the stress that comes with it. But I wouldn't have it any other way. This is what I do and what I love to do. But if I were to tell you three years ago that I would be in this position today, I be lying to you. It has not been easy though and will only get tougher as I continue to climb higher in this profession. Aside from my own inner motivations, there has been countless of things I have heard before that has created a strong inner drive within myself to prove the naysayers wrong. I have heard it ALL BEFORE:
You're not good enough.
It's a waste of your time.
Asians can't coach football.
It's too hard to do.
Nobody will hire a Hmong guy.
The list goes on and on. It is easy to give in to negative talks and allow it to bring you down. It's easy to believe naysayers who will say what you can and can't do. Sometimes the biggest dreams we have in life go unprotected because we our influence by the negative things that people will say towards it. Chris Gardner once said "If you have a dream, you've got to protect it". I truly believe in this quote and believe how important it is that our generation continues to dream high but most importantly, protect your dreams at all cost. I was once a young Hmong kid from Saint Paul, MN, who had no connections to being given an opportunity to coach college football. Through persistence and a strong desire to protect my dreams, it has allowed me to be standing where I am at today. For the younger generation and now, dream high. Be bold, be fearless and NEVER GIVE UP.
Dennis Lee Xiong is currently an NCAA Division 1 assistant coach for Abilene Christian University Wildcats Football Team in Texas.

General News of Wednesday, 8 November 2017
Source: primenewsghana.com
The Ghana National Fire Service says it has concluded investigations into the cause of the Atomic junction gas explosion but the report cannot be made public yet.
Public Relations Officer, Prince Billy Anaglatey in a radio interview said he is not in a position to make the findings public and no amount of pressure can compel him to do so.
This is in sharp contrast to assurances by his outfit that the public will be duly informed about the progress of investigations and be furnished with the results when it is done.
Speculations have been rife about the possible source of the fire which ignited gas that escaped from the filling station. An earlier assertion by some journalists that fire from a kebab seller nearby ignited the gas was discounted.
Mr Anaglatey says the report has been forwarded to the Ministry of the Interior and it will be up to the sector Minister to determine whether it would be made public or not.
The Atomic Junction gas explosion killed seven people and injured over 200 people in October.

Gamble is trying to save is Cedarwood, built in 1818 by New Englander Joseph Blogett Stickney and now sitting deteriorating on land owned by Buck Whatley near his residence off Alabama Highway 69 South near Moundville in Hale County.
HAVANA JUNCTION | Bob Gamble of the Alabama Historical Commission calls them �buffalo houses.�
�That�s because they are going the way of the buffalo,� he says of the handful of structures that pre-date Alabama�s statehood in 1819. �There are probably not more than around a dozen of them left in the whole state.�
One such buffalo that Gamble is trying to save is Cedarwood, built in 1818 by New Englander Joseph Blogett Stickney and now sitting deteriorating on land owned by Buck Whatley near his residence off Alabama Highway 69 South near Moundville in Hale County.
Gamble, the architectural historian for the commission, is working with the Alabama Trust for Historic Preservation and Whatley.
The Endangered Properties Trust, administered by the
Livingston-based Alabama Trust, has acquired a $25,000 option to buy Cedarwood from Whatley and is looking for someone to buy it from the trust and restore it along historical guidelines.
�Not only is this house one of the last of its kind, it is also the oldest house in Alabama to still be in the family of the original builder,� Whatley said during a tour of the house last week. �My great-great-great-grandfather built it and from the research I have done, it is the only house this old still in one family.�
Whatley said Stickney was one of the first plantation owners in the Black Belt when he built Cedarwood, with its unique and large loft on the second floor.
�He had 13 children and I have gone to the family Bible and my great-great-great grandfather�s records and you can just about match the additions as the children come along,� he said. �The first part was built in 1818 and he kept adding on until 1846.�
The house was moved from its original location west of Greensboro on Alabama Highway 14 in the early 1970s, and Whatley says he had hoped to restore the house for his two sons. One of his sons died last year, while the other has settled in Tuscaloosa.
�So that looks like it�s not going to happen, and I am at an age now that I can�t do much with it,� he said. �Which is why we are hoping to find a buyer who will either move it to a location of his choice or down the highway a little bit.�
The interior of the 3,000-square-foot, two-story, eight-room house is pretty much in shambles, its plaster having fallen as the house was moved. But David Schneider, the executive director of the private, nonprofit Alabama Trust for Historic Preservation, said it is structurally sound.
�It has its original heart pine flooring as well as very good woodwork, including Federal period mantelpieces, doors, trim and chair rails,� he said. �The original chimneys at either end are gone, but the nucleus of the house is still in fine shape.�
Whatley said he plans to clean out nearly 200 years of accumulated rubble, �just as soon as the weather turns cold and the snakes get out.�
While the house pre-dates the grand columned mansions that were built when cotton became king in Alabama in the 1840s and 1850s, �it is more refined than what you would expect on the frontier, but it certainly isn�t as refined as what we got with the Greek Revival antebellum mansions,� Schneider said.
�Stickney was a New Englander so he built what he knew, and it has a lot of features you would have found on the East Coast at the time,� he said.
Gamble said most people in Alabama at the time lived in log cabins. �So this house would have stood out as one of the best in this part of the state that soon after the turn of the century,� he said. �It was very upscale for its time � this would have been a mansion on the cotton frontier. Houses like Cedarwood are some of our forgotten historic landmarks because they don�t stand out like some of the later mansions.�
Gamble said the oldest documented house in the state dates back to 1814. That house is in Huntsville, near where the first settlers came down the Tennessee River on flatboats.
�There are a handful of other brick houses in Huntsville that were built around 1818, but the oldest house in Tuscaloosa is from 1823,� he said. �So Cedarwood is remarkable not only for its age but for the part of the state it is in.�

What happens when you try to paint your carefully built Styrofoam city model with a spray paint that contains solvents? Actually, a lot! - one example being, unfortunately, that the solvent will eat out large craters in your foam. In order to avoid such an eventuality you have to be particularly careful when choosing your paint (see: MARABU SPRAY PAINT) and maintain the proper distance when spraying or, alternatively, you can employ a polystyrene primer beforehand. This will provide the Styrofoam (which was cut by means of a hot wire!) with a once again smoothed out and matte surface. After applying between 2 and 3 coats of this primer you can then use most synthetic resin and acrylic paints for colouring purposes without having to worry about compatibility issues. We have tested MARABU SPRAY PAINTs, AERODECOR SPRAY PAINTs and Dupli-Color paints in this regard and found that they work wonderfully – if you are using other types of paint we recommend a preliminary test.
The surface of the rigid foam you want to paint should be closed-pore and as smooth as possible; like, for example, the way the surface turns out when being worked on with a POLYSTYRENE CUTTER. This is highly recommended because this primer when applied is very thin and not able to correct for unevenness or fill holes. This primer is therefore not suitable for use on an untreated and porous polystyrene surface with the deep "craters" between the cut foam granules that often result from cutting work on such material. Priming courser rigid foam surfaces does indeed lead to a much better acceptance of paint but will not produce a satisfactory result.
One can (150 ml) of primer is enough to cover an area of about 0.2 to 0.3 m².

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
By now, if you are a member of the best underground society known as Black Twitter, then you're high-key acquainted with Shiggy's #InMyFeelingsChallenge, courtesy of Drake's single and Cardi B's childhood throwback that has been rendering its own hilarious captions for weeks. Well now, thanks to one clever fan, the two memes live as one with a very special guest: the former love of Drake's life, Rihanna.
Generating over 208K likes and over 91K retweets, fans from everywhere clearly think the meme was next-level genius. Another fan replied with an even more comical Drake line.
Others couldn't help but to simply admire the greatness.
However, let us not forget this epic real-life swerve.
But, tbh, this is really what we're doing and thinking.

This looks like something Google would prank us with on April Fools... Fail...
I'll not buy a personal assistant unless its like big hero 6
This is one of the concept cool looking in commercial than in reality. Privacy may be an issue lots of intrusion if placed in living space with additional noise. Looks like tablet with big a speaker. Not bad but may not be too hot!
Haha interesting. What is really funny (if we can call it funny or better surrealism) in all these advertisements is, that everything always goes absolutely smooth and perfect and never and nothing ever goes wrong. Hopefully everything in the real life will be exactly like that. (and hey, compliments to the small girl, because it seems that among other things, she likes technology and astronomy like I do!) Haha.
If you want an inexpensive Assistant with a 7" display like this one. Then just buy an inexpensive Android tablet and install and setup Google Assistant. If you want a really inexpensive Assistant for less than $20 right now. Then pick up the latest addition of the magpi magazine. That magazine #57 gives you a complete Cardboard version of Google Assistant made with a Raspberry PI. You can even buy a Raspberry PI zero with Bluetooth and WiFi for just $10.

I stumbled across Cubify Draw app for iPad earlier today… Just had to download it!
My initial thoughts were that it is very simple… Perhaps too simple but maybe this will develop over time. I then went on to start thinking about how this could be used in schools. And my thoughts instantly went towards primary school age children. What a fantastic way to get them to doodle an idea and start 3D printing on a Cube or Cubex printer within minutes of getting started… And no complicated CAD to get involved with.
Being so simple it will be necessary to think carefully about what the kids can design but instantly I was drawn towards the idea of personalised bespoke biscuit (cookie) cutters and the like. (I must be hungry whist writing this for my mind to wander towards food again!)
Anyway, I've had an initial try out with the app and can't wait to try printing some objects.

In the Tall Grass
By: and
- Synopsis
- Mile 81 meets "N." in this eBook collaboration between Stephen King and Joe Hill. As USA TODAY said of Stephen King's Mile 81: "Park and scream. Could there be any better place to set a horror story than an abandoned rest stop?" In the Tall Grass begins with a sister and brother who pull off to the side of the road after hearing a young boy crying for help from beyond the tall grass. Within minutes they are disoriented, in deeper than seems possible, and they've lost one another. The boy's cries are more and more desperate. What follows is a terrifying, entertaining, and masterfully told tale, as only Stephen King and Joe Hill can deliver.

For the model year 1988, BMW gave us their first estate car with the stylish and taut 3-series Touring. But long before that, various coachbuilders had similar aspirations on the Bavarians behalf.
Before every car manufacturer committed to having multiple estates based on various saloons on their program, these practical loadluggers were usually created by coachbuilders. Many were somewhat compromised in the looks department as an extended roof was grafted onto a saloon, often resulting in awkward angles around the C-pillar and newly created D-pillar. Even so, they're all endearing examples of a coachbuilt niche which with time evolved into a massive market segment. A wide variety of saloons were converted in this manner, and just like some Mercedes-Benz fintails, Ford Zodiacs and many others, BMWs were no exception.
In September 1961, BMW launched their life-saving Neue Klasse at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and approximately a year later the BMW 1500 entered production. The medium-sized saloon was an immediate success, and remained popular with the buying public through ever increasing engine sizes and not least a facelift for the 2-litre version introduced for the '66 model year. The Neue Klasse even spawned the smaller 02-series and not least the stylish 2000CS which itself later morphed into the popular 6-cylinder E9 coupé. But before all of that happened, a few Neue Klasse saloons were converted into estates by a few choice coachbuilders.
There is sadly very little readily available information on these early BMW estates – probably partially due to their scarcity and furthermore as a result of them being built by small coachbuilders which are now no longer. However, it seems widely acknowledged that the first was in fact commissioned to be built by Baur in Stuttgart by BMW themselves. It's believed that two examples were built based on the BMW 1500, and that they were both utilised by BMW as service support vehicles at various rallies and races in period such as the 1964 Tour Auto where the homologation special BMW 1800 TiSA took part.
The Baur conversion was quite a thorough one as they went to the trouble of removing the saloon's C-pillar and creating a new and very narrow one for the estate. A new window frame for the rear doors was fabricated, the roofline was rather resolved as well, and a new D-pillar followed the rake of the rear panel. The wide tailgate was also made to open all the way down to the rear bumper enabling easy access to the large loading area. However, when it came to finding a suitable rear window for the large tailgate, there's no denying that Baur let the whole design down miserably by using a window which is simply much too small. As such, it's really quite a handsome design as long as it isn't viewed from behind. Regardless of looks though, this is surely the ultimate accessory if you're lucky enough to have an original BMW 1800 TiSA parked in your garage! Good luck finding one though…
Next up was Belgian coachbuilder Jacques Coune, who is nowadays probably best known for his own rendition of a coupé MGB with his MGB Berlinette. He created much more than that though, and had even previously built another Bavarian estate using the little rear-engined BMW 700 Luxus. This time around though, he concentrated his creativity on a BMW 1800, and his Neue Klasse estate was presented in 1966. Coune decided to leave the saloons C-pillar in place for his estate and equally use the rear doors unchanged, and at least to my eyes, this really does the overall design no favours at all. The join in the roof where it was extended was rather clumsily executed too. To his credit though, he managed to find a rear window for the tailgate which looked much better integrated than that used by Baur. I have thus far been unable to determine how many were built by Coune, but it might very well have just been the one unique car. I wonder whether it might still be stowed away at the very back of some dusty Belgian barn?
The next and third Neue Klasse estate to see the light of day is arguably the best resolved of them all. It was a joint venture between the French BMW distributor and the well established French coachbuilder Pichon & Parat, who at this point in their history found themselves in some financial difficulty and were scrambling for business. A such, working with a company as reputable as BMW offered them some credibility.
Just like Baur in Stuttgart, the Frenchmen too were highly accomplished coachbuilders and didn't cut any corners. The BMW saloon's C-pillar was removed entirely and a new one created. New window frames were manufactured for the rear doors and the roofline didn't have any ungainly creases in it where it was extended backwards. And while the tailgate wasn't quite as tall as the one on the Baur, it did instead have a rear window which complimented the rest of the design, making the Pichon & Parat easily the most elegant of the Neue Klasse estates. BMW subsequently commissioned Pichon & Parat to build a limited series of estates based on either the BMW 1800 or BMW 2000, and to be available from 1967. Oddly, the 2000 variant compromised functionality by sticking with the larger horisontal rear lights rather than using the upright lights from the 1800. Both were however hugely expensive at approximately double the price of a Peugeot 404 Break and this would have no doubt limited their chances. It is unknown how many were manufactured, but one source seems to believe it might have been as many as 30 to 40 estates.
Last but not least, we can't talk of Neue Klasse estates without mentioning Monsieur Massot of Garage de la Victoire. Just to be clear, Massot is not a coachbuilder, but rather a French BMW specialist. His Neue Klasse estate also wasn't created as a new car, but instead from an accident damaged secondhand BMW 1800 which came through his workshop at some point. It's also not the prettiest of creations with rear side windows from a Peugeot 404 Break and a less than perfect roofline. In all honesty, it doesn't entirely deserve mention with the Baur, Coune and Pichon & Parat, but among enthusiasts of classic BMW's it's such a well-known car that I'll make an exception and grant it a bit of column space nonetheless.
When the Neue Klasse saloon bowed out in 1972, other Bavarians needed to step up to take its place as a worthy estate candidate. Initially it was the grand 6-cylinder BMW E3 saloon. History repeated itself as BMW commissioned Baur to build them a couple of cars for their works racing team, but others followed. Yet, that is of course another story which is worthy of its own article some other day…
