Rain and Roads; More Dangerous than You Think
Studies done over the last decade show that rain causes more vehicle accidents than snow, ice or any other weather condition. Poor weather conditions result in approximately 22% of the accidents that occur each year. 10% of all accidents are the result of driving in the rain or in rainy conditions. And 16% of accidents are due to wet pavement. There are several reasons why rain causes more vehicle accidents than any other weather conditions. Some of the reasons are:
- Every state experiences some rain, not every state experiences snow or ice.
- Drivers tend to drive less cautiously when driving in the rain than when driving in the snow or driving on icy roads.
- Most people simply don't understand the risk of wet roads to their safety.
Most people are simply unaware of how slick wet roads can be, especially when it first starts raining after a period of dry weather. Oil builds up on a road during dry periods when driving conditions are good, when it begins to rain and the pavement gets wet, it brings the oil to the road surface making it slick resulting in less traction between your vehicles tires in the road.
In addition, heavy rain can result in standing water on roadways, which cause your car to lose contact with the road, this is called hydroplaning and cause you to lose control of your car. Combine those wet road conditions with reduced visibility and it is understandable how accident rates increase during rainy weather.
To make matters worse, while most drivers understand that snow and ice can result in poor driving conditions, they don't view driving in the rain with the same understanding causing them to drive less cautiously in rainy weather than they would under other weather conditions.
The truth is there are simple ways to increase your safety when driving in the rain. Here are a few simple tips that are easy to follow:
- Make sure that all equipment is working properly including your headlights, tail lights, windsheild wipers and your tires tread.
- Slow down and keep a safe distance between you and other vehicles on the road.
- Watch out for standing water in the road and if you can avoid driving through standing water slow way down and try and keep at least two wheels on drier pavement if possible.
- Avoid slamming on the brakes. Heavy braking on wet roads can cause your car to slid.
When making a long trip, knowing whether or not you will be driving through rain can help you to be more prepared for driving on those wet roads. Having the new weather app Drive Weather installed on your cell phone can help you keep apprised of the weather conditions all along your driving route. You can even use the special slider at the bottom of the app to determine the best day and time to leave to avoid the worst of the weather.

Norwich City A-Z: D is for debuts - they don't always go to plan
Debuts, there's been a few, but not many as memorable of that of Leon McKenzie.
As the Canaries travelled across the border just four days before Christmas in 2003, most of the focus was on whether Darren Huckerby would return after his loan had finished.
But a new £500,000 signing from Peterborough, striker Leon McKenzie, soon eased those worries with two goals at Portman Road to not only seal derby triumph in his first game but also send City top of Division One.
Not bad but McKenzie couldn't quite match the feats of Laurie Sheffield or Roy Hollis – who both scored hat-tricks on their debuts.
Sheffield managed his treble in a 4-1 home win over Derby in the Second Division in November 1966 and Hollis in a 5-2 victory over QPR in Division Three South at Carrow Road in April 1948.
No-one can match the electrifying impact of French forward Marc Libbra though.
Anyone who was at the second tier home game against Manchester City in August 2001 will never forget the style with which Libbra lashed home on his bow, timed at just 19 seconds after coming off the bench!
That strike fired the Canaries ahead in the 75th minute, with Paul McVeigh finishing the job late on. Just seven goals in 38 appearances followed but Libbra will always be remembered for that moment.
Of course, not all debuts go to plan, as goalkeeper Michael Theoklitos knows all too well.
The Australian was brought in by Bryan Gunn ahead of the 2009/10 season following relegation to League One and had looked solid enough.
A 7-1 opening-day loss to Colchester later however and his Canaries career was over.
Legend has it Theoklitos was carrying an injury that he failed to shake off that day. New manager Paul Lambert wasn't interested in hearing any excuses though.
He's far from the only player to endure a tough first game of course, Michael Turner needs no reminding of a 5-0 Premier League loss at Fulham in 2012, or how about Steve Bruce?
The Manchester United legend-in-waiting was credited with an own goal just a minute into his City bow, in a 3-3 draw at Liverpool in the top flight, with Tony Spearing also finding his own net on debut, in a 2-0 loss at Spurs just three months earlier in May 1984.

Our cars were serviced for many years by a great mechanic, but he retired. I was worried, but my husband's company has a fleet of cars serviced by Midas Fordham and he brought the car there. All my worries are gone! They are the ultimate in car repairs.
- Sheryl A.
Scott and his guys are great! They get you in and out in no time. Always very pleased with the service my car gets.

- Norberto A.
Scott and the guys are phenomenal!

Great work, great hospitality.
- Michael W.
For me, brakes are their calling. Their lifetime guarantee on brake shoe/pads is legit. I got this service on one of my other vehicles approximately 3 years ago and I am still riding on those same brakes to this day. And each time I have an inspection done or oil change I ask to have my brakes looked at also and the response is the same..."all good" and I'm like "WOW, still?!?!" And the customer service at the Fordham location is great also. They also are courteous and informative and let you know what's really good (or bad) with your auto. And their prices are competitive to the point where I cannot complain. All in all, a great place to have your auto serviced. Can't speak on my most recent as it is too soon but all seems well.....update to come if necessary.
- Anthony M.
Scott, the owner, and LaMar are like Batman and Robin. They are a great team! I have 3 cars and I trust them to keep all 3 safe and in good working condition. Scott and LaMar work with me on determining priorities as far as what needs to get fixed first, what is critical, and what system may impact another if not remediated. They also work with me financially as well because 3 cars are no financial picnic. I know my wife and daughter will be safe. They get me in and out when I need to be. It all keeps me coming back. Do yourself a favor and stop in.
- Darrick S.

Scottie manages this location and does a great job. He honored my appointment time and within 45 minutes my oil was changed, brakes checked, tires rotated, and all fluids replaced. The location is convenient, clean, and right next door to a Dunkin Donuts if you want to grab some food while you wait. Not only did they honor every coupon I brought in, he didn't try to sell me anything extra which is a common practice at every other place I've gone to before, including Valvoline and the Dealership. I'll never take my car anywhere else!
- Joanna G.
Car was done when i was told it would be done. They did not try to sell me anything I didn't need. Text me results and got me on my way when I arrived to pick up my car. Thanks!

I jumped to conclusions and thought that something was stolen from me while my car was being serviced. I was wrong, and I am sincerely sorry, and want to retract the complaint that I made on line of the facility that which is located on Fordham Rd. in the Bronx.

We're Dirk and Susannah Auferoth. We moved to the Pioneer Valley from Brooklyn, N.Y. in 2001 and are very happy to be here.
We bought 532 Main Street in 2012 and named it the Baustein Building. The word baustein means 'building block' in German, and that's exactly how we see 532 Main Street — as a building block and part of the framework of Hoyoke's exciting renaissance and revitalization. Originally built in 1898 as a textile factory, the building will continue to be a place where all kinds of people create all kinds of things.
Dirk owns an architectural interior woodwork, cabinetry and furniture studio which he moved to Holyoke from NYC in 2005: www.dirkauferoth.com

Tasmanian businesses have paid almost a quarter of a million dollars in the past month to cyber fraudsters who police allege are running an Australia-wide racket.
In one instance a company in northern Tasmania paid nearly $100,000 when the office manager received emails, claiming to be from the holidaying boss, asking for money, Sergeant Gen Hickman said on Thursday.
"The requests often relate to actual work or services that the company has contracted but the payment details are fraudulent," she said, adding that the scam has targeted businesses including voluntary organisations.

On Replication and Wire LengthSeptember 12, 2008
It is for some reason a common view, that when using replication you also have to pay in increased wire length. It looks reasonable isn't it? After all, you now have more blocks to wire into and out of and therefore total wire length should increase, right? Well, not really…
In some cases this might be true, but in most cases wire length should decrease. Wiring in a chip obeys taxicab geometry laws, so it is a bit less intuitive than usual.
Here is a simple example showing how wire length can decrease after replication. Sure, I chose the block placements and the replicated block (R) size to be in my favor, but this is not a rigorous math proof.
Before replication
After replication
Notice how blocks (A) and (B) are now actually farther apart. This leaves more room for other critical logic to be placed in the precious place near the center. On the other hand, after replication we now have one really long wire going out of block (C).
Bottom line: don't be afraid to use replication when you can, it has many advantages and not only for improving timing.

It has been busy week for announcements. At the start of the week Google introduced its latest Nexus smartphones, one of which was made by LG. Now today, LG has introduced another new smartphone known as the LG V10. In fact, the V10 was officially announced last night, but today saw its more traditional launch event take place. Part of which was the confirmation that the V10 would be coming to AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile.
Interestingly, LG also took the same event (and last night's pre-announcing) to also introduce their new smartwatch which is a refreshed LG Watch Urbane. The LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition comes with a few notable hardware improvements, although, the big selling point is certainly that it is a standalone device and offers its own cellular connection. Effectively, making it the first Android Wear device to do so. However, for the Watch Urbane 2, this was only a preview with no information coming through about availability or pricing. Although, some limited information was provided in last night's pre-announcement regarding the Watch Urbane 2 roll out plans.
Well, AT&T has now came out and released a statement confirming that they will be carrying the LG V10 on their network. As part of the statement, LG has also made it clear that they will be carrying the Watch Urbane 2 as well. Making AT&T the first carrier to officially announce they will be offering the smartwatch on their network. Unfortunately though, the announcement was rather short and sweet and the carrier did not provide any information on the pricing of the Watch Urbane 2, which still remains a mystery.
In terms of the specs. the Watch Urbane 2 comes equipped with a 1.38-inch P-OLED display and sports a 480 x 480 resolution. Inside, we are looking at 768 MB RAM, 4GB internal storage and the smartwatch is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor (clocking at 1.2 GHz). Other notable features include a 570 mAh battery, IP67 water and dust resistance rating and your typical smartwatch sensors. The LG Watch Urbane will be available in Space Black, Opal Blue, Luxe White and Signature Brown color options, although, once again, AT&T has not confirmed if they will be carrying all the options available.

In 2017, I received funding via the American Society of Transplantation/Transplant Immunology Research Network/Wood MacMillan Charitable Fund Allied Health Science Research Grant. Kidney transplant recipients have to take many different medications for life to keep the kidney transplant working. When kidney transplant recipients leave the hospital after their transplant, they can be taking anywhere from 11-14 medications!
Not understanding how to take these medications can cause lots of problems with the kidney transplant, and can sometimes cause the person to lose the kidney transplant. We wanted to look at health literacy (the ability to read, understand and act upon health information) and cognitive function (brain skills needed to complete or perform simple to complex tasks) in our kidney transplant recipients during the first 2 months after transplant. We also wanted to have a better idea of how well kidney transplant recipients understood the education they got about their medications to prevent rejection (the body's immune system not accepting the kidney transplant) and medications to fight infection. We were then able to identify and help kidney transplant recipients from all different backgrounds learn more about their medications when they needed help. This work would not have been possible without funding from the American Society of Transplantation, and the kidney transplant recipients who were willing to take part in this study.

My research focuses on the unrecognized burden of patient travel. Lung transplant patients travel varying distances to get from home to their transplant center, which sometimes is hundreds of miles. This involves travel for the transplant evaluation, checkups while on the waitlist, travel for the actual transplant, and travel for the many years of post-transplant appointments. We are learning what impact this constant travel has on patients, their transplant, and medical outcomes. What we learn will help us find ways to ease the burden of travel and improve access to lung transplant, and can be applied to other types of organ transplants.

The Globe and Mail has picked up on Heather Reisman's plans to add more toy offerings to Indigo's product mix. This is old news to industry folk, but the piece does highlight one intriguing stat: "Last year, about 70 million people visited Indigo's superstores, but only about 20 million of them actually made a purchase, [Reisman] said. If Indigo can convert one more browser into a buyer — out of every 100 visitors — it would add $20-million to sales, she said."

i saw somewhere a couple of years ago a research pointing that older parents have kids with higher iq.
i guess it can be for several reasons like
- smart people tend to be interested in other things than dating
- people like that are often not socially adapted and have troubles establishing relationships for a long time
but the most important, probably is that older people tend to choose reasonable partners, and reasonable partners probably have higher iq's (which does not mean that unreasonable people should necessarily have low iq).

The Rwanda of today is experiencing miraculous renewal and
reconciliation. Our people have proven resilient and the willingness to
forgive has moved us towards unity. Rwanda is being rebuilt from the
ground up, stronger and more resourceful than ever. While great
strides have been made in these rebuilding efforts, there is still a large
number of under-educated and impoverished people; children as well
as adults.
Our vision for a nurturing and allied Kanazi (Nyamata) community that
cares for and invests in the potential of every citizen from birth to
adulthood is realized at Nibakure Community Village (NCV). The
people in our community contribute to a vibrant and prosperous
Rwanda and will for generations to come.
To reach our goal of 100% Sustainable Income Sources NCV is investing heavily in farming infrastructure and education
Livestock and Husbandry
Cows and Rabbits at NVC provide Vital Nutrition today and tangible assets for the future
Future opportunities
One of our pressing goals is to bring safe water to the village people who will no longer have to hike steep hills to fetch their daily water supply.
Nibakure "Community" Village (NCV) will strengthen community capacity, serving as a bridge for empowering vulnerable youth and illiterate adults (parents) in Kanazi, Nyamata, Bugesera District, Rwanda.
We envision a Nurturing and Allied Kanazi (Nyamata) community that sustainably cares for and invests in its youth and uneducated adults (residents), contributing to a vibrant and prosperous Rwanda.
We work hard to incorporate as much local "man-power" as possible. We have partnered with a local women's co-op to complete some of our sustainability projects! and men to do some of the tasks like night work (guards).
The vision for Nibakure Community Village (formerly Nibakure Children's Village (NCV) began in the heart of Floriane Nibakure, a native of Rwanda. Her difficult childhood, including separation from her biological mother at just a few months old and abuse by stepmothers, often left her feeling like an abandoned child. Although she immigrated to the United States in 1988 and raised a family here, Floriane continued to feel a connection to–and compassion for–the children of Rwanda.Learn More

Study Abroad Programs – Myths Surrounding
You will learn numerous associated with misguided philosophy surrounding the thinking behind study in order to foreign places programs. Here we may be hanging around busting these parables on a detailed method. In present-day visionary epochs around advanced contemporary advances, the World-wide-web has emerged to be the much regarded medium to build up resourceful besides precise place elevators concoction facades regarding study right out the country plans.
The almost all profound manufacturing surrounding in order to foreign places programs is without question that chiefly those intellectuals enthralled for Words and phrases majors can make understand out of the country courses in various abroad schools and educational facilities. The simple actually that despite your penchant within your specialization as well as discipline out of your major, you probably would not find software program daunting to choose go by way of program by using their helpful requirements. In the last days, sole nations together with Us, Use Empire along with Questions had been thought seeing that prepared review places.
One will also not think that language is in reality a barrier whenever one tries admission to alternatives intended for studying in another place. There is a really multiplicity during nations, where English certainly not the to start with language, still your medium along with teaching might be English to help you out facilitate pursue a career process throughout foreign enrollees. Yet other myth and that's exactly based whilst in the minds of numerous analyze abroad aspirant could be that writing about abroad is for all your rich children. One have to aptly are convinced even at your residence universities and also colleges, an excessive plethora with courses which could prove pricey than pursuing a distinctive course through abroad informative institutions.
The range of Study With foreign places Scholarships accessible in the important universities as well as colleges worldwide also obtains preeminent offer for ever intellectuals who won't have necessary credit card debt stamina that you should pursue courses on the penchant in study overseas universities in addition to colleges. You might gather some know exactly how and acquaintance about of Study For foreign nations around the world Scholarships with a great amount of intricate investigate about the ether.

Existing WPMU plugins provide for site limits to be set on space and bandwidth– as I plan to use a CDN for the images/videos (ie the content that uses up most of space+bandwidth)– I wish to approach the issue of limiting usage of a single site within a WPMU install in a different way– by counting the number of page views for that site in a single month.
Kindly let me know exactly what I have to do to count the page views for a site– is this (access to all pages within a site) stored somewhere? Or is there some way to create a plugin that logs each such page view (or 'hit':wink: to a website?
I have no problem programming the solution- the question is how to count the number of page views for a single site.
Another issue- I would like that site to be automatically suspended once the number of hits reaches a certain level– for eg if a blog is only allowed 10,000 page views in a month- then after the 10,000th view, when the next viewer attempts to view that blog he should get a generic "Site Suspended because it has reached its usage limits" (or some such) message. What I want to know is, what is the quickest way to display such a message (irrespective of any page being accessed- as long as the max number of page views for that site have been used up and the page being accessed belongs to that site-that page can be a blog post/a marketpress page//a page belonging to any WordPress module/plugin that is installed on that specific site). I wish to 'suspend' a single site in the easiest manner possible programmatically( I would prefer not to do this manually by logging in as WPMU Superadmin)– is such functionality already there in ProSites (but used when the space/bandwidth limits of a user are reached)? Please let me know if this is so (as it would be easiest to use such working and tested code- only now it would work to limit number of page views).

To say I'm over it, is a horrible understatement. I've been working full-time since I was 21. I've been trying to transition into working from home and being an entrepreneur since 2014. My 28th birthday I knew I didn't want to work for other people for the rest of my life. In the back of my mind I know I am destined for so much more. Plus, I'm so full of ideas!
But like ideas for the many books I dream about, everything falls to the way side. You have to spend money in order to make money, and it's difficult to stay afloat plus save a little more to make the full transition.
One day, I am just going to do it!
It boggles my mind when I read bloggers that are feeling the way I am feeling about the corporate world about blogging! I mean, I guess we are on opposite sides of the spectrum, but I'm excited. I'm eager. I'm ready to delve head first into this blogging game. I'm still curating my voice, my content, literally my life!
I can't believe this blog is 8 years old, but I've never really done anything with it. Shame on me. I feel like I really only have one chance to get you interested, and I don't wanna mess up. I'm a perfectionist, but on the other side of the coin, IDGAF. I know, I'm complicated. So magically uncharming!
I've been sitting at a small desk in a very small dark room with my finger hovering over a glowing 'RESTART' button. I haven't been able to hit the damn button yet, and it's driving me crazy. I can't begin anew until I leave this miserable state (yup! I hate NYC!) and move back home. The only thing holding me back? Everything has to be perfect, or almost near perfect. *Sigh* I miss the days when I could just pick up and leave at a whim. Those carefree days are over. Life after dirty thirty gobbled those days right up!

Important Note
The new version 2.x contains significant code changes since the last official release (1.5.1).
It is possible that the results of a scene made with an older version of the plug-in are different from the deformations
produced by version 2.x. It is recommended to finish older scenes with the previous version of the plug-in and use the updated version only with new projects.
iDeform is a collection of three deformers for Maya:
A displacement deformer with the ability to use locators or curves to define the area of influence as a dropoff control. The dropoff function is furthermore defined through a curve ramp in the attribute editor.
With the 2015 release Maya comes with it's own texture deformer and iDisplace almost becomes obsolete. However, iDisplace still features dropoff points and curves, which makes it the more versatile choice if better control is needed. On the other hand, the default Maya texture deformer supports vector displacement and better deformation speed.
A collision deformer which provides simple collision effects without the need for simulations. It has been inspired by the StretchMesh Deformer made by Kickstand. With their deformer being OpenSource since 2012 it has been a great learning resource for writing plug-ins for Maya.
iCollide offers simple ground collisions as well as with other mesh objects. The deformation can be shaped with a number of attributes and regular curve controls via the attribute editor. The deformation can be either flexible or even kept after the collision for permanent deformation effects. Color controls optionally apply vertex coloring based on the various deformation attributes.
This deformer allows to add skin sliding as well as skin attraction effects to a mesh. Skin sliding can be controlled through a control object and keeps the original mesh shape while deforming the vertices over the existing surface. Skin attraction can be useful for applying sticky effects to the mesh and can be used for lips of a character.
iSkinDeform is deformer-based version of the slide components tool if the Maya Bonus Tools and has also been influenced by the the reel at Chad Vernons site (which is a great source for getting started with the maya API).
iCollide, iDisplace and iSkinDeform are under the terms of the MIT License.
Maya versions 2016.5, 2017, 2018, 2019 on macOS, Windows 64 bit, Linux 64 bit.
All files of the deformer suite are combined as a module. This allows for an easy installation and keeps all necessary files in one location.
To install run the installer for your platform and follow the instructions.
- Linux: install_linux.desktop
- macOS: install_macOS.command
- Windows: install_win.bat
Depending on the type of chosen installation all files will be created and placed automatically. Also a log file will be created documenting the installation.
After the installation restart Maya. Find the iDeform menu in the main menu bar at the top of the interface.
Select a mesh to use as a collider surface and your mesh to deform and create the deformer.
For simple ground collisions only the mesh to deform needs to be selected.
Select an object as a controller, such as a locator, and your mesh object to deform and create the deformer.
Only mesh objects are supported up to this point.
Even if it's possible to connect several objects as colliders performance may drop with lots of objects or detailed meshes. Also the quality of the deformation effect might be below expectations whenever some colliders affect the same region of the mesh.
For more complex collision effects other solutions might work better but please keep in mind that iCollide was built to serve as a quick collision deformation solution.
Collision objects have to be volume objects. Using a plane as a collision object does not work.
- Bulge: Controls the amount of bulging when the collision happens.
- Radius: Defines the distance the bulging effect affects the mesh from the point of collision.
- Offset: Offsets the collision surface.
- MaxRange: The maximum distance the deformer searches for collision surfaces.
- IntersectionRange: The distance in world units for the maximum allowed intersection. Keep small if the mesh is in enclosed spaces.
- Use Ground: Adds a simple ground collision to the mesh. The ground collision effect is calculated before the collision with other collider objects.
- Ground Height: Defines the height of the virtual ground plane for the ground collision.
- Mode: With mode set to 'Relax' the mesh will go back to it's original shape after the collision. When set to 'Trace' the deformation will be kept even the surface doesn't collide anymore.
- Use Start Frame: Defines if the deformation is reset in 'Trace' mode when the current time equals the 'Start Frame' attribute.
- Start Frame: The frame on which the deformation is reset in 'Trace' mode.
- Bulge Shape: Defines the shape of the deformed mesh in the bulging areas.
- Collision Noise: Optionally adds a simple randomness to the deformed vertices of the mesh. Different 'Seed' values produce a different offset to the vertices.
- Use Colors: Applies vertex coloring to the vertices of the deformed mesh.
- Result: Defines if the mesh is deformed and colored or only gets the color applied based on the deformation attributes.
- Color Mode: Defines the source for the color effect. The options are 'Displacement', 'Bulge' and 'Radius'.
- Max Displacement: Defines the upper boundary when mapping the displacement to the color gradient. This controls how the color from the color ramp is distributed amongst the displaced vertices.
- Scale Factor: This is a multiplier for the for the 'Max Displacement' reference value. This can be useful when working with deformations at a small scale.
- Smooth: Averages the color of neighbouring vertices.
- Default Color: Defines the color for all vertices that are not affected be any collision.
- Color Gain: A multiplier for the color effect.
This video demonstrates how to use vertex colors produced by the iCollide deformer as a masking effect for mesh displacement created by the iDisplace deformer.
- Texture: Links your file texture or procedural texture to the deformer.
- Use UV: Uses the UVs of the object when working with 2d texture nodes.
- Local: Useful when working with 3d texture nodes. Only the placement of the 3d texture is calculated and the position of the object is ignored.
- Scale: Define the amount of displacement applied to the geometry.
- Offset: Moves the affected vertices along their normals to produce an offset effect.
- Type: Defines the direction of the displacement. 'Normal' uses the vertex normals for the direction, 'Placement' uses the first placement node found in the connected shading graph to modify the 'Direction' vector, 'User' takes a connected matrix plugged into the directionMatrix attribute of the deformer to modify the 'Direction' vector.
- AverageColors: If active, the texture colors from all channels get averaged. When inactive the color channels directly modify the displacement vector (RGB > XYZ).
- Use Dropoff: Enables the use of either dropoff locators or dropoff curves.
- Dropoff Type: Defines the type of dropoff, which can be 'Point' (dropoff locator), 'Curve' or 'Vertex Color' (connected iCollide mesh).
- Radius: The radius of influence when using the dropoff function.
- Color Set Name: The name of the color set to use from the connected iCollide mesh.
- Color Channel: Defines which color channel is used as the source for the vertex color based dropoff.
- Color Gain: Multiplier for the vertex colors.
- Color Gamma: Gamma adjustment for the vertex colors.
- Dropoff Curve: Defines the amount of displacement originating from the dropoff object within the dropoff 'Radius'.
- Curve Falloff: Defines the amount of displacement along the U value of the used curve when using dropoff curves or a locator chain.
- Strength: General multiplier for the deformation effect.
- Radius: Defines the distance to the control object in which vertices are effected by the deformer.
- Falloff: Controls the strength of the deformation within the deformer radius.
- Attractor: Let's you choose between the type of attractor. Choices are 'Point' (transforms) or 'Curve'.
- Pinch: Controls if the affected vertices are moved along their normals or towards the influence object.
- Negative Clamp: This option disables any movement of vertices opposite their normal direction. This feature is beta only as it can lead to unexpected results dependent on the affected area. Must only be used with care.
- Curve Falloff: Controls the amount of influence in U direction when using a curve as a control object.
- Sliding: Switches from the 'Attraction' mode of the deformer to 'Slide' mode.
- Method: Defines how the position of the moved vertices is calculated. 'Raycast' is more accurate but can lead to more overlapping effects when using more extreme positions of the influence object, 'ClosestPoint' has less overlapping effects but can be less accurate.
Version 2.0.0, updated 2018-11-10

St Olavsloppet
Have taken it very easy today, venturing out only to have a look around town, watch the stage finish of St Olavsloppet in the town square and to get food. Its been a rainy, cold day but with an upbeat atmosphere due to all the people in town for the race.
Second place
Snapped a few quick photos and then retreated out of the rain.
When I ventured out again later (without the camera) I found paramedics working hard to revive a man, just 30 or so meters from the finish line. They worked hard on him for what seemed a long time and finally loaded him into the ambulance. Definitely put a damper on the upbeat feeling and I treated myself to some ice-cream to cheer up.
Just heard on the news that the runner is in hospital in Östersund and alive, though still in poor condition. Hope he recovers completely and is able to come back and run again.
Not being outdoors for the majority of the day feels strange….

'Tinder for the Elite' app called The League launches in London – but are you pretty or rich enough for it?
More than 10,000 Brits on waiting list to use dating app aimed at people who are seeking partners 'with drive, not double D's'
YOU'RE confident, entitled, rich, beautiful and just a little bit annoying - so it's no wonder online dating has been going badly for you.
But now you can slam the door on the great unwashed following the British launch of an app that's being described as "Tinder for the elite".
A total of 2,000 Londoners have just been accepted onto a new dating service called The League, which is designed to appeal to "picky" people who believe they are simply too desirable to settle for plain, ordinary partners.
A further 10,000 people are on the waiting list for the app, although many of these sweaty civilians are likely to face disappointment.
It's designed to appeal to single women and is connected to LinkedIn so users can be sure their potential partner has as much dosh as they are claiming.
The website will also spy on your potential love matches' social media profiles to ensure "that hottie isn't too good to be true".
"We do the scouting and the vetting, you do the matching and the petting," The League wrote on its website.
It also features a "no shame" feature which will stop you from dating people you work with.
Yesterday, Business Insider published images taken inside the launch party, which was packed full of bright-eyed and beautiful people.
"I think London's a couple of years behind the States about dating apps from a mindset perspective," founder Amanda Bradford told the website.
"The League will help to get rid of that stigma, because it's hard to get into and something that very desirable people join.
"That stigma no longer exists in the US. Now even the most desirable or popular person in a bar is on an app in the states."
You're worth it: Amanda Bradford sets out her vision for The League
"My last two relationships were with people I met through college & work.
"It's clear that being part of a community full of ambitious, motivated people provides a common bond that allows two people to instantly connect.
"Our goal with The League is to replicate that same feeling and create a community of passionate and driven people who, while they may be working towards wildly different goals, feel that instant connection.
"We designed The League to cater to the needs of all of us crazy-busy, hard-working city peeps who want to date & meet new, awesome, compatible people without all the hassle that comes with other dating apps today.
"We believe dating is more than a game of "hot or not," which is why we give more context about each person right up front. We display info from both Facebook and LinkedIn alongside the pictures, so that when you match it's with someone you may actually want to meet in person!
"Imagine that."
This text originally appeared on The League's blog
Bradford started The League five years ago because she wanted to meet people who weren't intimidated (or annoyed) by her boundless self confidence and ambition.
She said the app was designed to appeal to people who value "ambition and intelligence above everything else".
"It's less about how beautiful you are or how much money you have, and more about how do we match the successful people who are having a hard time finding each other," she added.
People who have been rejected by The League have left scathing reviews on its page on the Apple App Store.
One woman raged: "How does a college educated, self-employed successful single woman not meet their criteria?
"I have been on the 'waitlist' for over two months now."
Here's how The League describes itself on its website:"So you want to date someone who shares your education level and ambition?
"And maybe, just maybe, you'd like them to be in your same neighbourhood, attractive enough to at least look good in black-and-white photos, with a height that meets your way-too-restrictive height preferences.
"Perhaps you also want them to share your religion as well. While your mother may call you picky, we call you self-aware."
Other people would probably call you something unprintable.
Tinder also has a secret member's only version of its app called Select that's aimed rich, famous and beautiful singletons.

TONY Mowbray is continuing to comb the transfer market for his next 'star of tomorrow'.
The Baggies boss signed Robert Koren on a free transfer from Lillestrom during the January window two years ago.
Koren remains the model signing for Mowbray, who also signed the likes of Jonas Olsson (£800,000) and Filipe Teixeira (£680,000) for relatively low fees.
Mowbray said: "Whether they cost £14 million or £4.50, in my mind it is whether you like them as footballers and I just want good players at my club.
"That is why amongst free transfers and loans you can find good players out there.
"The secret is to find them before they become stars.
"Koren joins us in January two years ago on a free transfer from Lillestrom and yet he has played just about every game in the Premier League for us and cost us absolutely nothing.
"There are decent players out there if you look hard enough and can find them.
"At Hibs we had a miniscule budget and the secret is to walk along a bunch of pebbles and find a diamond.
"Steve Bruce found a diamond when he picked Palacios up off the beach of Honduras. We've got to try and do the same. It can be done.
"We have got to find us some players who fit the chemistry of the team that they are playing in and their talent will grow, they will be easy on the eye of prospective buyers and their value rockets.
"I would rather our chairman say 'we've got £50 million, go and spend it son' next week, but in the real world that isn't happening.
"There are not many clubs out there who can do that, maybe Man City or Tottenham. You've just got to get on with it."
Mowbray is confident that his two most recent signings, loan strikers Jay Simpson and Marc-Antoine Fortuné, will prove to be successful during their periods at the club.
"It is a gamble and yet Jay Simpson looks bright and sharp and looks as if he can play at the level and yet an unknown quantity because he had never started a Premier League game," added Mowbray.
"The boy from France (Fortuné) again an unknown quantity and a gamble.
"I can see his talent and appreciation of the ball but will he adapt to the game? We are confident he will."


text: Share: Comments Print June 17, 2010 at 9:50 AM BP's $20 billion compensation fund: It ain't over 'til it's over Posted by Jon Talton At first glance, the $20 billion "escrow account" BP has agreed to fund to begin to cover damage from the Gulf oil spill would seem like a major victory for President Obama. It certainly goes far beyond the federal government's efforts after the Exxon Valdez. Still, unknowns and pitfalls abound. One of the least noticed developments is the report that BP has retained Goldman Sachs and Blackstone Group as "financial advisers." While in theory, these two Wall Street playerz perform a number of duties for clients, they are mostly known in these circumstances for their mergers and acquisitions work. As in, shopping BP to another oil company or trying to fend off a hostile bid (and how long before major BP institutional shareholders and the board rebel?). Who would want a company saddled with a $20 billion initial obligation to the United States, and, according to a Credit Suisse estimate early this month, facing a tab of $37 billion for the cleanup? Nobody. Unless, of course, the cleanup liabilities were quietly shifted into segregated corporate subsidiaries while the highly profitable ($14 billion in 2009) remainder of the company was sold off. This would put the government in a difficult legal situation, to put it mildly, depending on what exactly is put in that $20 billion compensation fund. The agreement states U.S. assets will be "set aside" as a guarantee that the company fulfills its obligations. But what if the company as we know it — the feared British Petroleum that for decades pushed around governments — no longer exists? (And are some of those "assets" derivatives, IOUs, etc.?). It puts us in the uncomfortable position of having to root for the continued viability of BP. Even worrying about its share price and cleanup costs. Otherwise, a successor company could tie settlements up for years in court leading up to an Exxon-like denouement, all the while making huge profits from BP's worldwide reserves and production. We live in Milton Friedman's world. That is, the popularizer of the "free market," rather than the brilliant economist who gave us key insights into the Great Depression. In that world, companies exist only to make profits and serve their shareholders. Effective regulation and corporate responsibility are either frowned upon or seen as frills. And the economic benefits of healthy oceans and "natural security" don't factor into the balance sheets, whatever popular sentimentality. As long as the world and America refuse to wean themselves off oil, expect more of this. It's been happening in the Third World for decades. Now it's hit home and we'll stew about it all day, driving in the car.

Couples often have a hard time communicating about their sexual desires. Men aren't mind readers. Yep, turns out 99% of men have EPSN not ESP. And ladies, we have a bad habit of denial if we have a problem. I'm fine, everything is fine.
So how do we go about saying we want something more without hurting our man's ego? And if you're a man how do you talk about this stuff without seeming pushy? Plus, there is always the risk of judgement that makes talking about this stuff pretty uncomfortable. How do you get around the judgement?
I want to talk about a few fun ways to lighten the mood and create a no judgement, no expectations atmosphere that will get communications open between you and your loved one.
*Listening to a broadcast that talks about sex on podcast (free) or Spice Channel on Sirius XM (must subscribe) with your partner. In the car or at home. Pick the shows that are hosted by ex-porn stars and very liberal minded sex enthusiasts.
Don't take anything too seriously.
Do laugh with each other. I guarantee this will bring up sex topics you and your spouse have never talked about before.
My husband started listening to the Spice Channel last year on his own and it opened a flow of communication that I hadn't even realized was missing. I've always been been pretty open about my sexual everything. I can tell my husband fantasies I've masturbated to, secret desires, you name it. But my husband clammed up when it was his share time.
Hearing other people talk so openly about every aspect of their sex lives in such a casual way was what my husband needed to open the flood gates. When we listened to it together we had some of the best sex discussions we've ever had.
* Making a sex menu.
I'm sure some of you have done this. This is like the limit list for vanilla couples and it can be a hand written update to couples in a non-vanilla relationship. I know what would have been hard limits for me eleven years ago are long gone.
Hell, somethings that would have been a limit four years ago are now on the menu. It's also fun to write out some fantasies you've wanted to play out while you're at it.
Five years ago my husband and I exchanged our menus listing everything we wanted to try, everything we loved, and everything we were willing to try. My husband had about seven things on his menu. I had thirty-two.
Our communications really opened that night and it gave my husband a clear indication of exactly what I was into. It also gave him the green light to try new things.
-If you're not sure about what to put on a menu you both can fill out a BDSM checklist to email to each other. (Don't open at work) This makes everything clear and leaves nothing out!
Then after reading each others checklists, write out at least one fantasy you each want to act out.
*Take a silly sex quiz and show each other the results.
Don't take the results too seriously.
Do talk about what you think you scored accurate on and what you thing is way off and why. http://quizfarm.com/quizzes/Sex/poeticthinker/do-you-have-an-inclination-for-bdsm/
*Go on a second first date with your spouse or significant other as your selves. Let me be clear. You and your partner go out as if you don't know each other. This differs greatly from the 'picking each other up at a bar' role playing scenario.
The stranger role play is a fun idea to add to your fantasy list, but not what we're going for.
I know this one may sound strange, and the first time I brought this up to my husband he said, "So, you want to cheat on me with me?"
Well, no, that's no way to get reacquainted. Again, that would be in the role play for a different time. The point is to date your partner and get to know who they are in that moment.
This is a huge exercise in self awareness and opens up communication.
When was the last time you went out with someone you were trying to attract, for the first time? (hopefully you answer however long you've been with your partner) Chances are you're a much different person then you were then.
Your partner can ring the door bell like you're getting picked up or you can leave together after kissing the kids good bye. However once you get in the car, cab, or start walking to your destination you are strangers.
Make sure your date plan is conductive to talking. You both will talk about what you love to do in your spare time, your careers, your kids and how they have impacted your life, your hopes and dreams and skimming over the ugly stuff like you would on a first date.
Realize if you talk about your partner to your partner things may take a turn.
Saying, My kid's father is amazing and he's been a rock through the years, set's a much different tone then, I wish my kid's dad could spend more time with them. There were years when he just wasn't emotionally available.
Whoa, that could take the night down therapy lane. Try not to bring too much baggage on a first date, even an imaginary one.
Later in the night talk about the date, how you felt, any nervousness and awkwardness. Talk about your real first date and what you were thinking all those years ago. Then reminisce about a sexual encounter early in you and your partners relationship that stands out in your mind for positive reasons.
From there you can segue into new sex ideas.
Dont ask your partner, Are you happy with our sex life? That's a question in a minefield. Nothing will clamp up the flow of communication faster. Anyone who is asked this question has a moral obligation to answer, Why, yes of course.
Do say things like, If I asked you to spank me because I've been a bad girl in the middle of sex, will that throw off your stroke?
Or, I think it would be fun to experiment in the bedroom, then mention some things you'd like to try.
Saying you're curious and want to experiment in the bedroom is a lot less likely to hurt feelings or bruise egos than saying you need something new or different.
No matter what you do, make sure your partner knows you want to explore your sexuality with them. If your partner isn't into your budding sexual curiosity it wont be as fun for either of you.
Last but not least.....
Once communication has been opened, and you've established the types of things you want to try, delve into things that you or your partner may be unsure how to go about with instructional books and videos.
*Order a DVD from Adam & Eve and watch it together. You can even watch it yourself and have them watch the clips you want to try.
Tristan Taormino also has this particular guide in book form, but if you're sharing this with a man go visual. It's an instructional guide and I may order it just because it has two of my all time favorite BDSM porn Doms in it. (comparable to hot fictional book Doms) I'm not saying which two they are. ; ) I'll let you guess. I will say one of the guys did a video with a shibari scene with suspension that was one of the hottest things I've ever seen.
This week's recommended read is to remind us of why it's so important to do tune ups and oil changes in our relationships.
Love and Biology at the Center of the Universe by Jennie Shortridge.
After Mira Serafino discovers the love of her life, father of her college age daughter, the man she's been with over twenty years, has been seeing someone else, her world turns on it's axis.
Her husband's not who she thought he was, her daughter is a hippy that hates her, her Italian family has a code of conduct she needs to live up to and Mira is just starting to figure out who she is at forty five.
Love and Biology is a light and refreshing read despite the heavier very honest depiction of one woman's midlife crisis. I read this book five years ago when it first came out while in a strange place in my life and I just got sucked in all over again.
Reading about Mira going through the crap life dishes out, and so much self discovery at forty five, gave me clarity in my life and reminded me not to take life too seriously. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
This is a great read about what happens when life happens with a surprising HEA.
Warning : This book is a regular fiction, so there is sex and some mild drug use but nothing that will knock your knickers off.

Some sound sense
Extracts from Appendix 8, 'External peer review – interpretation', of the recently published New Zealand research review –
The core conclusions, that CE is insufficiently supported by research evidence because of the negative findings of higher quality studies; the limited number of high quality studies, and the wide variation in the description of CE are well supported by the research evidence presented here. The consistency of finding of this and the previous ACC report, and the high quality published systematic reviews add weight to these conclusions. However, based on my wider clinical and research expertise, I would add a number of caveats to these conclusions in order to add context to them.
...while the evidence for CE is negative or untrustworthy in these studies, several of the studies describe components of best practice paediatric rehabilitation (or therapy), namely, child/parent education and tailored, context and task specific intervention as part of CE.... This description reflects what would be expected of any evidence-based rehabilitation service... I suggest that the studies on the effect of CE are interpreted in this context.
The greatest barrier in advancing research into CE is the absence of a clear description of it.
...If lack of generalisation [of CE studies] were a reason to not fund CE then this is equally true of any other intervention for this population I can think of.
... a criticism of a lack of follow up was made. I am not aware of any longitudinal study that evaluated the long term effects of a specific rehabilitation intervention... To not fund any intervention on the basis of the absence of this information is ethically questionable for a population that the information cannot be obtained for.
...the conclusion of this review that the lack of change in non-practiced tasks, is equally true of any paediatric rehabilitation intervention...
CE research has tended to target Impairments in motor functions, and discrete Activities rather than enhanced Participation in valued life roles, despite the dominant interest of consumers and families in the long term, being maximal participation in valued life roles...
It is the nature of such external peer reviews that they should be published anonymously. There is plenty for people in Conductive Education in general to consider here in making their eternal case against 'CE research' – and in wondering what studies of their own they might consider. As far specifically as those in New Zealand are concerned, it looks like they could find sound counsel close to home.

HMD Global held an event on October 4, where the new Nokia 7.1 with Android One was introduced. However, contrary to what would be expected, there was no information about Nokia 7.1 Plus.
It seems that the manufacturer decided to separate the attention, to try to push as much as possible both smartphones. Now it has been confirmed that a new event will be held in China on October 16th. Of course this will be the time when the new smartphone will be introduced.
Anticipating its launch, a unit of the new Android One smartphone was sighted in performance results on the Geekbench platform. As usual, the results should be viewed with a pinch of salt, as the unit could still be a prototype.
Still, some of its confirmed specs end up showing that this will be another exciting smartphone to be released by HMD Global.
The new Android One, Nokia 7.1 Plus, gives the views on performance test
According to the listing published in the Geekbench, the Nokia 7.1 Plus will arrive equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC processor at 1.71GHz. To support the already competent processor, there will be 6GB of RAM.
Regarding its operating system, in the tests was still presented with Android 8.1 Oreo. But, I'm reminded that this will be another Android One smartphone. So we expect an update for Android Pie to arrive very soon.
Although the listing of Geekbench does not confirm any further specification, we already have a good idea of what it will have to offer thanks to information of its certification in TENAA.
Therefore, the Nokia 7.1 Plus should come with a 6.18 "Full HD + screen and you should come up with two options with regard to your memories. It is believed that you will be able to choose between 4GB of RAM + 64GB of ROM, and 6GB of RAM + 128GB of ROM.
Top 7 Best Pixel 3 Features iPhone Required
In the photographic segment, surely it also will not let down the fans of the manufacturer. On the rear panel, you will be able to count on a double camera, composed by a main sensor of 13 megapixels and a secondary of 13 megapixels. In turn, dedicated to the selfies will be a front camera of 20 megapixels.
There are only 3 days left for your official presentation, so you will not have to wait much longer to know all the details about this new smartphone. As for its price, there is still no official confirmation. However, it is believed that it can reach the stores with a price of around 300 euros.

50 Photographs in London
How can you see 50 photographs at a gallery in London? In the day, the only way to see an exhibition, say, of 50 photographs by the celebrated British Photographer, David Farrell, was to go there. Thus, only a few number of people would have access to these works. This produced a sense of exclusiveness, but also, a sense of exclusion.
How to Counter the Sense of Exclusion in Art?
It may seem like a simple thing now, using the internet to make Art accessible to everyone. But, it is only a recent phenomenon by some of the world's most famous museums, and Google Art. But, gallery exhibitions remained exclusive. Now, though many leading galleries now leave their exhibitions up online beyond an exhibition's closing. All this is done technically by virtue of tools of the New Media.
However, the commitment to make Art accessible to anyone in the world is a conscious cultural decision which has opened the doors of the art world, so that works can be viewed anytime by anyone. Thus, it was a conscious decision to remove the barriers that prevented most people from viewing most of the world's Art. The idea of inclusiveness, not exclusiveness transformed who could see the world's Art. The London gallery, Osborne Samuel has done this with some of the most iconic images of photographer David Farrell.
David Farrell</
Celebrated British photographer David Farrell (1919-2013), [is] internationally renowned for his iconic images of many of the greatest musicians, actors, authors, dancers and artists of the 20th century. The exhibition, which will be the first survey of Farrell's work since his death earlier last year, will showcase images of many of his most famous sitters, from Louis Armstrong to Laurence Olivier, Margot Fonteyn and the Rolling Stones.
Through commissions from London Weekend Television and Thames TV, Farrell went on to photograph most of the pop stars of the period, including early performances by the Beatles, Cilla Black and Tom Jones. In the 1960s and 1970s he turned to theatre and film with an invitation to photograph the production of Peter Hall's A Midsummer Night's Dream (1968) starring Diana Rigg and Helen Mirren, and over subsequent years he worked on more than 100 films and TV dramas alongside directors including Michael Winner. and Ken Loach.
Fine Art in the New Media
OSBORNE SAMUEL GALLERY is one of London's leading gallery in London. The gallery specialises in Modern British Painting and Sculpture. It has 50 images of the work of David Farell on its website available to all.
Upon his death aged 93, Farrell left an extensive archive of images which together form a fascinating "hall of fame" of the 20th century's best-known stars of stage, screen and soundtrack.
