Cassini's heliometer
|Cassini's heliometer
|Date Created
|The church of San Petronio in Bologna was the site of a solar observatory as early as 1576 when Egnazio Danti, cosmographer to Cosimo I de' Medici, installed the first meridian line there. Unfortunately it did not fulfill its purpose, which was to provide an accurate date for the spring equinox, thence Easter. In spite of uncertainties about the precise length of the solar year, the Gregorian calendar was promulgated anyway, in 1582. We still use it today. Almost 75 years later, the opportunity arose to reconstruct the meridian. Enter a 29-year-old astronomy professor named Giovanni Domenico Cassini. Cassini increased the height of Danti's solar peephole—or gnomon hole—to 1000 inches (based on the French foot) or 27.07 meters above the church floor. The length of the meridian line was increased by x2.5 to 66.71 meters, or 1/600,000 of the Earth's circumference, per Cassini's calculation. The line had to run on the floor between the aisles and columns of the church on a north-south axis without obstruction. The instrument was tested with great fanfare at the summer solstice of 1655 and proved fully successful. Cassini's illustrated account of his heliometer was published 40 years later in 1695 with the title La Meridiana del tempio di S. Petronio. The image shown here is taken from a large foldout plate depicting the design and details of installation.

UL can assist at different stages of your compliance, quality and performance growth.
Life Sciences companies can reduce the likelihood of product approval delays by becoming more knowledgeable about regulatory requirements and the impact to their operations. UL partners with clients to ensure that their quality management systems, technology platforms, people readiness and product submission will meet the rigor of the regulators.
Preparation is essential for any audit because of the escalating complexity and overlap of global quality regulations. Failure to meet audit requirements can severely impact the company, causing delays in product launch. UL partners with companies to develop an inspection infrastructure, processes for hosting and responding to inspections, and education for individuals on how to respond to an inspection.
Companies need to educate their GxP workforce on the latest regulations, so they can apply these requirements into their daily processes and procedures. UL provides educational solutions that enables companies to deliver GxP knowledge across multiple regions consistently and efficiently.
Maintain a high level of quality as you scale up your operations and expand your product strategy globally
Many companies struggle to validate installed and cloud-based GxP applications (ERP, DMS, LMS, SCMS, QMS, etc). Our experienced team helps make your validation activities more efficient, as we help with planning, documentation, change management, governance, test scripts, user requirements specifications and more.
Many companies are seeking proven systems governance models, as well as IT validation best practices, for their GxP applications. Trust UL expertise to help build a governance model and validate your critical systems.
Regulators globally have recognized the quality and compliance risks that are caused by a lack of data integrity. UL experts can assess your organization's current data integrity practices and processes, identify risks, deliver targeted education, and help you build improved, sustainable data integrity processes.
UL partners with clients to provide dedicated resources to support periodic quality audits for manufacturers and their suppliers globally.

UL's QMS Audit solution helps companies establish a sustainable audit process that delivers a measurable impact on quality and compliance.
Companies partner with UL to add risk management principles so that high quality is assured consistently. Taking a risk-based approach also helps companies conduct a more accurate root cause analysis and prioritize resources appropriately. Our experts also help companies establish risk management offices within their organizations.
Achieve and sustain compliance as you expand product lines and build your workforce
For many global Life Sciences companies, fast growth has resulted in an expansion of learning management processes and systems, impacting new product lines and new teams of employees. As companies grow, there is an impetus to create a systematic approach to learning and development that includes strategy & governance models, and a holistic perspective of the learning management infrastructure. UL works with clients to optimize their learning management processes, practices, content and systems.
As companies mature, they can be challenged by collecting and sharing critical data in multiple systems. UL helps companies harmonize multiple systems so that companies can better automate their processes, reduce system overlap, conveniently share data across the enterprise and achieve better results from their big data efforts.
Many companies struggle to build a role-based training matrix that ensures the right knowledge is being targeted to the right job functions. UL partners with companies to align job qualifications and knowledge assets, to ensure this matrix meets regulatory expectations. We refine role-based plans right down to specific SOPs, classroom events and other learning activities, which improves worker productivity and eliminates qualification redundancies.
Many Life Sciences companies organizations are taking extra steps to define and assess the skills of those working in the aseptic manufacturing area. Our hands-on consulting experts work alongside your QA, Training, HR and Operations teams to build a sustainable operational excellence program that is grounded in real-world success.
Sponsors and even CROs struggle to capture capture certification and qualification from clinical site personnel. UL's Clinical Site Qualification Solution ensures higher quality during the trial, and also reduces the time spent on site initiation and site certification, by delivering and capturing both protocol and non-protocol activities based on each person's role in the study.

Almond Raspberry Braid
Okay, this is the final of my birthday posts (yeah, I may have overdone it a bit) and the first time I've shared a complete recipe on this blog!
I've shared before that I'm fructose intolerant so many recipes that I make are altered to keep me from getting a tummy ache. The braid recipe was altered quite a bit so I wanted to share my version here.
Let's start with the jam. I love fruit, unfortunately most fruit gives me a stomach ache. Solution: make my own jam. I use glucose sugar instead of regular old table sugar to help counteract the fructose in the fruit and it's great. One of the best things I've learned to do on this journey. I often have a jam making day during the summer when berries are in season (though I learned this year that I really don't like blueberry jam…waaaaaay too sweet).
For this recipe, I altered this raspberry jam recipe. Surprisingly, I ended up having four cups of raspberries so I used the amounts in the recipe instead of just a 1:1 ratio as I often do. The tip to warm the sugar first is fantastic, I'd never done it before but it is very helpful. Here's my version:
- Warm 2 cups of glucose and 2 cups of sugar (I used turbinado sugar) in the oven at 250 for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, my raspberries weren't ready so I turned the oven off and left the sugar in there.
- Smash 4 cups of raspberries over high heat on the stove. Bring to a boil for about one minute.
- Add the sugar. It really is amazing how quickly it all dissolved!
- Return to a strong boil until it gets sorta of gel-y. This actually took me closer to 10 minutes than 5 minutes.
Next, make the almond cream. Actually, I did this a few days before the jam but oh well. This was fun. Despite thinking Dutch letters are awesome, I've never used almond paste before so that was fun, too. It's also super easy. Here you go:
Cream together 4 Tbsp room-temp butter, 1/2 cup almond paste, 1/4 all purpose flour, 1 large egg, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (I used vanilla because I didn't have almond like I thought). I just threw all these things in the food processor and voila! So easy. The recipe also includes the option of adding 1/4 tsp of orange-flour water.
Make the bread. One of my favorite things about Artisan Bread in Five is that almost everything can be done ahead of time. The dough just takes a few minutes to mix up, let it rise a couple hours and then you can throw it in the fridge until you're ready to bake. I also like that the recipes are all BIG but can easily be doubled or halved. I made half of the brioche recipe for this braid (the authors recommend using either the brioche or the challah).
The only thing I altered for the brioche is the honey. I can't have honey. Eating honey is pretty much a guaranteed several day long stomach ache for me. I had a hard time coming up with a substitute here. I've used golden syrup in the past but it has a pretty strong flavor and I didn't think it would be right for this recipe (plus, it's sort of expensive) and many of the other suggestions online are also very fructose heavy (agave, maple syrup, even apple sauce). Eventually I settled on making a sugar syrup by melting equal parts water and sugar (the same turbinado sugar I used in the jam).
So, here's the recipe as I did it:
- Mix 1/2 tablespoon yeast, 1/2 tablespoon salt, 4 lightly beaten large eggs, 1/4 sugar syrup, 3/4 cup melted butter in a big bowl.
- Mix in 3 3/4 cups all purpose flour. Don't knead!
- Cover (not airtight) for 2 hours.
- Refrigerate overnight (or a few hours up to a week!).
- Roll out some parchment paper (or grease a cookie sheet/baking stone). Generously flour whatever surface you're using. Use half of the brioche dough and roll out a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. You'll probably need to add more flour so it doesn't stick!
- Put the almond cream, jam, and some more raspberries on the center third of the rectangle.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut slices about half an inch wide on either side of the jam, then "braid" them over the center.
- This is where the recipe says to let this rest for about 40 minutes and to preheat the oven to 350. This is where I put the braid in the fridge and went to the gym. When I returned, I took it from the fridge and turned the oven on.
- Brush the top of the pastry with an egg wash (one beaten egg with about a tablespoon of water).
- Bake 35-45 minutes.
- Impress everyone with your awesome pastry making skills.
The fun thing about this recipe is that you could use whatever you are in the mood for as filling. The book has a savory idea, but I'm imagining cream cheese and strawberries next time or something like that. Yummmm…now I'm getting hungry again.

H is for House Fire
Today's Word is…
house fire!
I'm pretty sure this isn't what is meant when the recipe calls to preheat the oven.
It seems that the pie BW baked me spilled over a little bit and so the drippings were burning off.
For those who are wondering: I do know where the fire extinguisher is, and our pizza for lunch turned out just fine.
Thankfully it's freakishly warm today so I could open the windows to let the smoke out for an hour or so.
We have the oven self-cleaning now as I write this so that this won't happen again for a little while at least.

A pervasive culture of confession, combined with the revolution in Internet-based communication, has crowded bookstores with autobiographies and biographies and generated an unprecedented amount of personal exposure. As columnists and reviewers tell us that we live in an age of memoir, life histories are commanding attention in many academic and professional disciplines, including anthropology, history, journalism, medicine, and psychology, as well as literary studies.
Our lives are increasingly on display in public, but the ethical issues involved in presenting such revelations remain largely unexamined. How can life writing do good, and how can it cause harm? The eleven essays in The Ethics of Life Writing explore such questions. They focus chiefly on autobiography and biography, but their findings apply to all "life writing"—the entire class of literature in which people tell life stories. Their forms include case studies, diaries, ethnographies, interviews, and profiles. The essays are enhanced by an introduction that provides an overview of the volume, including a section on life writing vis-à-vis privacy and the law, and an afterword that looks at the essays in relation to one another.

Stretch of Ely Avenue renamed for NYPD Sgt. Keith A. Ferguson, suffered fatal heart attack 10 years agoPosted: Updated:
A Bronx street has been renamed after an NYPD officer who died in the line of duty 10 years ago.
Ely Avenue, between Adee and Hammersley avenues, will now be called Sgt. Keith A. Ferguson Way. The street is where he grew up.
Ferguson's parents unveiled the new street name as friends and colleagues looked on. He was a 17-year veteran of the force and those who knew him say he loved being a police officer and was passionate about his job.
Ferguson suffered a fatal heart attack while running to assist another officer.
Ferguson's loved ones gathered at the Brooklyn Bridge for the annual Sgt. Keith A. Ferguson Memorial Run and Walk. Money raised from the event will go to a scholarship in his name that helps students studying criminal justice.

Hot Take: If you loved This Is The End, you'll enjoy but probably not love The Night Before.
If I ever get back to ranking 2013 movies, I'm pretty sure This Is The End will come in at the top of my list. It was one of the funniest movies of the last decade. Fortunately (and unfortunately), The Night Before has a similar feel. While it was a very funny holiday movie, the comparisons and the way too revealing trailers for the film stole away some of the better moments and made it feel like a regifted tale.
The good news about The Night Before is there's plenty of reference material to draw from to determine if you're going to like this movie. This isn't any different than any other comedy Seth Rogen has ever done. Anthony Mackie has been in almost every movie in 2015. If you've seen Joseph Gordon-Levitt on a talk show appearance and enjoyed it, you're safe here. Feeling good about twisted classic holiday stories? How about countless celebrity cameos? If none of that turns you off, The Night Before might even make your must-see holiday films in the future.
"Spoiler Free" Pros
- More Comedy Hits Than Misses and Lots of Swings
The humor in The Night Before is rapid fire for the first 2/3 of the film. The first half is much funnier than the second half and delivers mostly goodies with very little coal to your viewing stocking. (Look, it's a review of a holiday comedy. If you didn't expect some bad Christmas puns, you haven't been paying much attention to previous reviews.)
- Michael Shannon
If Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol was a drug dealer, he'd be Michael Shannon in The Night Before. Shannon is consistently a bright spot of everything he is in and it shows no signs of slowing down.
- A Genre That Doesn't Get Stale
Somehow there's always room for funny holiday films. While this isn't as funny as Elf, it has plenty of moments of hilarity to keep you laughing all the way until Christmas.
"Spoiler Free" Cons
- Repackaged Laughs
Some of the writing felt a bit lazy as we've seen writer Evan Goldberg do better party jokes, better jokes involving blood and better cameos. These moments were funny in The Night Before but funnier in the movie before.
- Too Many Storylines
The movie veers off into too many directions and the neatly wrapped bow it tries to put on the final package looks more like a knot.
- What's With the Way Films Portray Guys Playing Video Games?
Sorry but these scenes are almost as bad as poker scenes in movies.

A new social science master's program aims to help students develop an interdisciplinary approach to solving social problems.
The Master of Social Science Program, which launched in September, teaches its 20 students how to address complex social issues such as environmental degradation and economic inequality by collaborating with various social science departments, said Juliet Williams, chair of the Social Science Interdepartmental Program and a professor of gender studies.
"Our emphasis in the program is on training students who come to us with an interest in a certain social problem, and we give them the tools to identify and assess research from various fields like political science, economics and gender studies," Williams said.
The program differs from other social science master's programs on campus, such as the history master's program or the economics master's program, by offering courses from different departments, Williams said. MaSS incorporates courses and professors from multiple departments, including political science and sociology, to help students analyze current social issues.
Ashley Williams, a graduate student in the program, said the MaSS program has helped her develop professional skills, such as analyzing and writing about research in multiple disciplines.
"I really appreciate the ability to engage multiple disciplines when approaching social problems so that we are not just solely looking at an issue from a psychological or sociological perspective," Ashley Williams said. "I liked the clear interest the program has in developing us as scholars."
Students in the MaSS program take nine courses total, seven of which are core requirements to the program taught by professors from various social science departments, according to the program's website. Some of these core courses teach students how to approach and analyze the quantitative and qualitative data they obtain from their research.
Students also take two elective graduate courses from social science departments of their choice to help specialize their studies.
Victoria Luckenbaugh, a graduate student in the program, said she thinks students have to carefully plan their two elective courses if they want to specialize in a social science field.
"It would be great if we could get more specialization into our field of interest," Luckenbaugh said. "We can take two electives in the fall and spring quarter, but it can be difficult to fit them in our schedule with the MaSS classes we have to take."
Students in the program also work with faculty on research projects throughout the year and produce a final paper summarizing their findings, according to the program's website.
Tamar Kremer-Sadlik, the academic director of SSIDP and an assistant adjunct professor of anthropology, said another goal for the program is to help students prepare for doctoral programs.
"We hope to see our students flourish," Kremer-Sadlik said. "We believe our training is very strong and will prepare them extremely well for … graduate schools."
Kremer-Sadlik said the program plans to enroll five to 10 more students in future years. She added the program plans to inform more students of MaSS by holding information sessions this quarter, where interested undergraduate students can meet students and faculty currently in the program.

An irresistable invitation to re-evaluate punk's origins.
Bacca Gamma Tea | Sunna, New Jersey USA | 09/22/1998
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Originally issued as "SPunk", a legitimate release that claimed to be a bootleg, "The Mini Album" is alternative versions of Pistols classics. While the performances may be perferable to some, the sheen of "Never Mind The Bullocks" is left off. This leaves the Sex Pistols exposed as they really were: an incredible, experimental rock band. Progrockers like Yes tend to be credited with widening Rock's boundries; the Pistols ignored the limits entirely. It sounds as though it never even occured to them that they would be changing rock and roll forever."
Dirty, dirty rock n' roll
M. Aranda | planet earth, dimension 4 | 03/08/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"First thing's first: The Tracks...1. Submission: I think a lot of Pistols fans will be surprised by this one, and it's a great opener for that reason. As any educated fan knows, Lydon/Rotten went on to form the post-punk band Public Image Ltd and this song sounds like an early formulation of his ideas. I once heard him say that he and Sid went into the studio to remix this song; as he told it the end result was less musical that what appeared on the album so I can't help but wonder if this is it. The song is much spacier; Lydon's tounge rolls are all over the place, the guitar playing is looser and, well, not as developed. Very enjoyable, my second favorite track.2. Seventeen: About the same as other versions I've heard.3. Satellite: You may disagree, but I've never like this song in any version. It's a cover, I think. Anyway, if you like the song I'm sure you'll like this version. I usually skip the song on the album so I can't really say how different it is.4. I Wanna Be Me: The same version can be found on the "Pretty Vacant" disc. A great song with heavily distorted Ramones-ish guitar tones, strong beat, and great Lydon ranting. One of their best songs.5. Anarchy In The UK: Ah, another great addition to your Pistols collection. Lydon couldn't sound snottier and the band couldn't sound more punk than on this recording, which sounds like it was recorded in a basement rather than a studio. Vocals are way up front, guitar is rather tinny but great...oh but that's not all. This version features alternate lyrics. This is a great drinking song.6. No Feeling: Snottier than the album version with that same tinny greatness. About the same as what appeared on "Nevermind the Bollocks".With so many compilations and bootlegs out there, this is a Pistols release that actually matters. And for the price, you can't really argue. Although, my girlfriend stole this CD for me, so I can't really say THAT much about the price. Enjoy!"
Interesting collection of demos
K. Bentley | Stratford, CT United States | 08/06/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
"The Sex Pistols' Mini Album is a pretty good collection of demos, recorded in July 1976. Most of these songs appear on Nevermind the Bollocks, but the versions of the songs here are different from the ones on the album in terms of sound: the guitars are cleaner, and Johnny Rotten's vocals aren't nearly as snotty or as abrasive as they were on Nevermind the Bollocks. "Submission," "Seventeen," "Anarchy in the UK," and "No Feelings" are the songs from Bollocks included here. The other two songs are rare songs that are just as good: "Satellite," with rather romantic (for punk) lyrics and more of a hard rock feel to it, while "I Wanna Be Me" has the attitude of the stuff they were legendary for, and gives a big middle finger to conformity and whatever was going on in music at the time. This is for diehard fans of the band, and punk rock worshippers essentially, but for a casual fan, it might not be as interesting as Bollocks was."

Anyone that knows me that when it comes to slings, I love my wraps, but I like the convenience of the soft structured carriers (ssc) otherwise known as buckles. There are plenty of good, wide based carriers such as Ergo, Lillebaby and Manduca. But my favourite two I have come across are Boba and Tula.
Since I began back carrying I have found I prefer a carrier over a wrap for the ease and safety. I have struggled over several months to nail a simple ruck, but even though I am now confident in that I find I still love my buckles.
My first buckle is a Boba 3G in Tweet. This carrier retails at £80.
I originally hired this from a postal rental service as we didn't have a local library, which gave us the inspiration to set up our own. The Boba 3G is a very easy buckle to not only start with, but to use for your entire babywearing journey. They claim that the carrier will fit a child from 7lb all the way upto 45lb.
They do this by starting with a rolled waist, and a top adustmet which helps to support the baby's head. The baby can be placed in without an extra insert which other carriers insist on which can add extra expense to the carrier. I found that rolling up a muslin under the babies bum helps to lift the baby and means a better position is achieved. The newborn baby can also be breast fed in the carrier, as there is an extra adjuster at the side of the carrier to loses it so positioning is better. (I still do this now, with my 20lb little girl who has just turned one!)
As the baby gets older and larger the waist can be flipped (at about 12lb I found), and the top can be widened.
As the baby becomes a toddler, the knee-2-knee position is no longer likely to be happening with this carrier, but they that thought of this. They include stirrups in the box which fit easily onto the sliding attachment so it will fit a much larger child.
I'm yet to try the stirrups as my little girl isn 't big enough yet, but I like the idea, and it is a very easy to use, well made, and well priced carrier.
Next I tried the Boba 4G supplied by Slumber-Roo. This carrier retails for £95.
This is an updated version of the 3G, so it looks and performs in the same way as the other. the updates are purely for the newborn baby. Rather then flipping the waist band and turning the buckles, you simply attach a small cushion to the bottom of the pouch which boosts the baby up. This would be useful if you were using it for two children, but I feel a rolled muslin does a very similar job.
This carrier is in the "Dusk" colour, which is very smart and would e a good colour for people who likes simplicity.
The Tula which has found its way to me recently is a rather beautiful wrap convertion Tula, made with an Oscha Ladybirds glow wrap. These are like gold dust, and usually resell at over the £200 mark. It is stunning, and I was very lucky to win it in a Goodcause Dip on Facebook. But Tula sell standard and Toddler carriers in canvas in very attractive designs, and these cost between £95-£125.
When I first tried the tula, I found the straps a bit thick and the clips s bit clunky. The waist band is recommended to be worn lower, and whole ing felt strange after the Boba. But after a half hour stroll with my little girl on my front, I was sold. There was little weigh on my shoulders at all, all weight distributed in to my hips and my baby felt weightless!
As for the back carries, one I got her in the right position, and got used to the fact that all the. Adjustments are on one side ( rather then in the middle like the Boba) and I found that seems neater over all, as although there is a lot if strap left over there is a handy price of elastic on the end of each piece of webbing so that when you roll the strap up it keeps it as a neat little parcel.
One place that I feel the Boba wins, is the hood, which is attached in a pocket at the top of the carrier with fabric reach straps, were as the tula is a removable hood which I find fiddelly.
Another area the Boba wins, is the versatility, as the Tula is one that needs an infant insert, (£20) for newborns, and toddlers either need the bigger sized carrier (£105-£125) or knee extrenders (£20) to keep the carrier knee-to-knee as recommended. Seems more faffy to be honest!
So although I would say how much I love the comfort and style of the Tula, I think over all for versatility and value for money, The Boba 3G has to win!

Guangzhou, formerly known as Canton is the capital of Guangdong Province in southern China. It takes less than three hours to travel by train from Guangzhou city center to Hong Kong.
For centuries, Guangzhou has been an important port city and gateway to China. Arab traders were among the first group of traders that came through Guangzhou during the Tang dynasty. And later followed by traders from India, the Middle East, and Europe including the British merchants.
This same port enabled the Chinese from the southern region of China to emigrate to the West, other Asian countries, and the Pacific Islands. That's the reason why in Chinatowns around the world you will find Cantonese food being served. In fact, Cantonese cuisine has been the only Chinese food that most westerners are exposed to.
Guangzhou is the birthplace of the world famous Cantonese cuisine. They are stir-fried, stewed, slow-cooked and steamed cooking methods with ingredients like garlic, onion, vinegar, ginger and or sugar. A variety of meat, vegetables, and fruits are used in Cantonese cuisine. Because of its warmer climate and proximity to the sea, Guangzhou's food uses a vast variety of seafood, fresh meat, and vegetables. Freshness and variety are the keys to making Cantonese cuisine. Even the fish they cook are kept alive until it is time to cook. I'm sure you have seen fish swimming in tanks in authentic Chinese restaurants in a Chinatown near you.
My recent trip to Guangzhou gave me a chance to compare the authenticity of Cantonese cuisine in Chinatowns with Cantonese cuisine's motherland - Guangzhou.
Dim Sum
When in Guangzhou you must try dim sum. Most people think dim sum originated in Hong Kong. Dim sum is a Cantonese cuisine, and it originated in Guangzhou. Without a doubt, Hong Kong has perfected the art of making and eating dim sum. These little delicacies served in small portions are steamed, fried or slow cooked. They served with a pot of tea in the morning till noon. Yum cha (drinking tea) is the process of eating these delicacies along with a choice of hot tea and shared among family and friends.
The locals recommended Guangzhou Restaurant on 2 Wencheng South Road dim sum. It has been operating continuously at the same location since 1935. You won't regret it if you like freshly made dim sum. The restaurant did not have an English menu, and the servers spoke only Mandarin and Cantonese.
Our dim sum consisted of-
Congee with pork and century egg
Steamed shrimp rice rolls (cheong fun)
Slowed cooked chicken feet
Steamed pork buns Cantonese-style
Radish cake
Shrimp dumpling (har gow)
Steamed water chestnut cake
For yum cha, you need to pair the food with a hot pot of freshly brewed tea. We chose chrysanthemum tea. Chrysanthemum tea helps cool the body (the yin and yang of eating), boosts the immune system and helps with digestion, said the locals.
Roasted suckling pig and stir-fried flat noodles with beef for dinner
Guangzhou is filled with thousands of restaurants that fit any budget. Eating with the locals was our preferred method of travel. So for dinner, we ordered at YES Cuisine on Tianhe South, an 8-minute walk from Fraser Suites. Our apartment came equipped with a kitchen and fridge. Instead of eating at the crowded restaurant, we decided to pack the food and had dinner at the comfort of our apartment.
Cantonese cuisine is usually served with rice. We had the famous roasted suckling pig, soy sauce chicken, stir-fried vegetables and stir-fried flat noodles with beef.
Fusion breakfast
Buffet breakfast was included with our stay at the Fraser Suites. At least 30 items were on the buffet tables from cereals, bacon, and eggs to congee and fried noodles.
Economical takeout lunch
Rice noodle rolls are served all day throughout Guangzhou. You can find them in upscale restaurants, hole-in-the-wall restaurants, and food stalls. We found this variety (shown below) served with slow-cooked beef and radish for lunch.
The Cantonese steamed buns are different from those in Beijing and Shanghai. The Cantonese use barbecued pork instead of minced pork. In my opinion, the Cantonese steamed buns are tastier. The sweetened red bean steamed buns are also famous in Guangzhou. They are made smaller than the barbecued pork buns.
Another favorite Cantonese cuisine is the sweet red bean soup dessert (tong sui), usually served hot after a meal.
Wonton noodles soup
Some people prefer the dry version of wonton noodles. They serve it with clear soup in Guangzhou. A bowl of hot wonton noodle soup comes with seven to 10 minced meat wrapped in thin wonton skins, a few strands of vegetables and a choice of broad or thin egg noodles. Here was one I had with thin egg noodles.
Pig trotter and pan-fried flat noodles
We went to a small street where the locals sat on stools by the side of the alley eating pig trotter made with vinegar, sugar, and ginger. Cantonese believed this dish helps women during postpartum to recover quickly from childbirth. Pork trotters are served in Chinatown, but not as authentic as these in Guangzhou. If so they would be out of business because of the unwashed pot.
The owner said they have been cooking with the same pot for over 20 years. Look at the burnt molasses on the outside of the black pot. I believe the pot was never washed. How can they wash it? They use the same sauce every time a new batch of clean cooked pig trotters and hard-boiled eggs are added along with more vinegar, sugar, and ginger. I like the pig trotter and hard-boiled egg soaked in the vinegar, sugar and ginger sauce.
Pan-fried flat noodles with beef are sold in Chinatown's restaurants throughout the United States. I realized pan fried noodles with beef served in New York City and San Francisco's Chinatown were just as good as the ones I had in Guangzhou.
Freshly made steamed rice rolls and pulled noodles
These steamed vegetables and meat rice rolls were freshly made in the restaurant on Tianhe Street. They practically had the system in place at the restaurant for fast and efficient delivery of the food from "scratch" to table in less than 10 minutes.
The first lady filled the metal containers with the flour mixture. The next lady in line poured the flour mixture to a white cloth on the steamer. In about a minute she scooped up the paper thin crepe, one at the time to a plate for the next lady. The third lady filled the paper thin crepe with vegetables and cooked meat and rolled it. Then placed it on the plate to be served immediately.
Likewise, the noodles were freshly pulled and cooked in the restaurant.
Roast duck and Stir-fried vegetables with chicken head
Cantonese style roast duck is different from Peking duck. Cantonese roast ducks are usually found hanging in Chinatown's restaurants. They are chopped with a cleaver in big pieces. It's an excellent dish for takeout purposes because you don't need to reheat roast duck and it is usually served at room temperature.
Take a look at the vegetable stir-fry dish that came with a chicken head. It didn't mention in the menu that we were getting chicken head.
Guangdong province is suitable for planting tropical fruits like bananas. You can easily get a bunch of bananas for snacking from the vendors throughout the city for $1. Notice a vendor with her Chinese banana leaf and bamboo lattice hat?
Or visit a traditional pastry from Lian Xiang Lou Bakery on Shipu Road. Get the famous "wife cake" or lotus seed paste cake.
Another snack or dessert to try is the sweet almond tofu served with almond and jelly. Throughout Guangzhou, you will find snack bars selling Chinese desserts like the sweet red bean soup and puddings like the almond tofu.
Guangzhou, just like Beijing and Shanghai, offers plenty of street foods at great variety and prices.
Afternoon tea
When you are done feasting on Cantonese cuisine and need a place to relax and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, I suggest having afternoon tea at the Four Seasons Guangzhou. Afternoon tea at The Atrium Four Seasons Guangzhou offers a bird's eye view of foggy Guangzhou. For more information about an afternoon tea experience at The Atrium check out Bethany Looi's Afternoon Tea at the Four Seasons Guangzhou.
The food in Guangzhou was all the same as Chinese food in Chinatown New York City and San Francisco. That's because most earlier immigrant Chinese were from the Guangdong region in Southern China. Eating out in Guangzhou is relatively cheap if you dine where the locals dine. I did not hesitate to eat where the locals eat in Guangzhou because most Cantonese foods were freshly made.

Linking surveys to the world
UMSI Assistant Professor of Information Eytan Adar is serving as a co-principal investigator on this project that will undertake research that responds to the specific analytic and operational requirements of the Census Bureau and other federal statistical agencies to improve their estimates while reducing costs and respondent burden. This project is funded by a National Science Foundation grant awarded to principal investigator Matthew Shapiro from the U-M Department of Economics.
Start date: 9/1/2011
End date: 8/31/2016

Federal statistical agencies have pressing needs to innovate their practices in light of rapidly changing economic structure and how this changing structure interacts with the fundamental ways in which households and businesses produce and use information. This project will combine expertise in social science, survey research, and information science to address the scientific and practical problems that the statistical system must confront. It will advance the science of measurement and serve to renew the statistical system both by bringing frontier methodology to measurement problems faced by the statistical agencies. This study will also nurture a new generation of scholars, both within the statistical agencies and academia, who will collaboratively address these issues.
This project will utilize administrative data and data generated by households and businesses in the course of their normal activities to produce economic and demographic measurements that currently rely on surveys. This will allow researchers to develop and evaluate methodologies that use the vast constellation of data generated by ordinary activity in a modern society and that protect the privacy of individuals and businesses.
Researchers will examine administrative records created by businesses, individuals, and governments, streams of data from social media sites on the World Wide Web, and detailed geospatial data. They will analyze these multiple sources of data and relate them to data collected on surveys. It aims to improve survey measurements of economic and demographic data and potentially supplement or replace surveys with statistics based on administrative, Web-based, and geospatial data. Applications of these approaches include the following: using linked survey-administrative data to assess attrition, selective non-response, and measurement error in surveys; using Web-based social media to measure job loss, job creation, small business creation, and informal economic activity; using administrative geo-spatial data to enhance small-area estimates; and training in the use and creation of linked survey-administrative datasets.
Other collaborators from U-M include John Bound and Charles Brown from the College of Literature, Sciences, and the Arts, and Margaret Levenstein from the Ross School of Business.

Kitchen Cabinet Drawers Replacement
- Updated: May 9, 2018
Kitchen cabinet has important function in your kitchen. This furniture is used to store various kitchen items. Installing the kitchen cabinet will add functionality to your kitchen since all items are stored in organized manner. Your kitchen cabinet might come with kitchen cabinet drawers which need to be replaced if these are worn out or broken. In kitchen cabinet drawers replacement, you need to find the kitchen drawer which matches well with existing kitchen cabinetry. You are able to replace drawer slider and inner drawer box. However, the drawer face and drawer pull need to be matched to the kitchen design for the rest of the set. It is possible for you to find replacement drawer parts of the same style and size at home improvement centers or cabinet installation contractors.
If you are planning to perform kitchen cabinet drawers replacement by your own, there are some steps which you can follow. The first thing to do is preparing some items. These are including Phillips screwdriver, large slotted screwdriver, sandpaper, wood glue, measuring tape, and C-Clamps. You can start the process by removing the drawer face from the old drawer. If there is any screw present to attach the drawer box to the drawer's face, you need to remove it. You should use screwdriver with appropriate type to remove the screws. Some drawer pulls are attached by screws which pass through the face and box. You need to pry the drawer face off the drawer box. Use a large slotted screwdriver to break the glue seal. Do not forget to sand the back of the drawer face. It is done to get rid of hardened glue and splintered wood.
Next, you can remove the drawer sliders from drawer box. Use Phillips screwdriver to remove it. You are able to save the slides before screwing the new drawer if the drawers have proper sliding action. Remove the drawer slides from cabinet's inside if the drawer is not sliding in and out properly. Just discard these drawer slides. The next step to do in kitchen cabinet drawers replacement is attaching the drawer pull to the drawer face. Use attachment screw or screws which are provided. Take wood glue and spread it on the drawer face and the drawer box's side where the face attaches. Press the face of the drawer against the drawer box side. You need to align the face squarely with the box side. Do it by measuring two spots on every side with measuring tape. It helps you to see the top and bottom edges of drawer face are equally as far from the edge of drawer box at the top and bottom. The side edges of the face are equidistant from the box's sides. Take your C-clamps and secure the glued drawer face when it is squared properly. Let the glue to dry for four to six hours drying time.
Fix the salvaged drawer slides to the sides of drawer box. Install the new drawer slides to the slides if it is necessary. Align the bottom rails with the bottom edge of drawer box sides. Align the bottom rails to flush with the bottom edges of drawer box sides. Let the wheels on the slide to extend past the back of drawer box. You need to secure the slide by using screws. Replace the inner slides on the frame. Do it by aligning the front edge of the slides with the bottom of the opening for the drawer. The front will be marked on the slide. You need to secure the inner slide with attachment screws.
The last step of kitchen cabinet drawers replacement is slipping the wheels of the drawer slides protruding out from the back of the drawer box on the wheels on the inner slides and push the drawer into the opening. Make sure you to test the sliding action. Open and close the drawer to check it. If you are not used to DIY task, it is better for you to let professional to perform kitchen cabinet drawers replacement.

Halo 3: ODST opens door to addictive Firefights
Playing Games Christopher T. Fong
Halo 3: ODST: Action first-person shooter. Developer: Bungie. Publisher: Microsoft. $59.99 for the Xbox 360. ESRB Rating: Mature.
The details of the Master Chief and his outer space battle against the Covenant, a theological confederation of alien races, can easily overwhelm anyone just stepping into Microsoft's Halo, a space opera franchise that stretches across several games. Instead the recently released Halo 3: ODST sets aside its iconic super soldier and brings the series back to Earth where a highly trained force of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) infiltrates a Covenant-occupied city of New Mombasa while only offering glimpses of the greater events in the Halo universe. Though with a short campaign that finishes in a few hours, ODST has a lot to offer in something billed as merely an expansion title, thanks to the exciting cooperative mode, Firefight.
As the opening mission goes astray, you take the role of the faceless Rookie who awakens hours later from a hard crash-landing in a ruined and abandoned city. The Rookie becomes a device that drives the storytelling as you search for clues to your missing squad mates. With each discovered clue, you flash back into the role of one of your missing crew, who forged ahead hours before, surviving and seeking their next objective through a series of intense action sequences in New Mombasa. In contrast, the Rookie wanders through the quiet desolate night, driven by the game's moody jazz soundtrack reminiscent of the film "Blade Runner."
The solo campaign isn't reinventing the wheel, nor was it meant to be Halo 4. The previous titles were filled with open spaces of carnage while ODST is taking the Halo franchise into a tight urban environment. Without the genetic enhancements of the super soldier Master Chief, ODST members are simply humans who rely on their tactical skills rather than charging with guns blazing. ODST is really a new Halo game to push out the super- addictive cooperative multiplayer mode, Firefight, which is similar to Gears of War 2's Horde mode or Left 4 Dead's game play.
Firefight allows up to four players to stand their ground, blasting their way through waves of Covenant baddies. From the 10 different levels to choose from, there's an array of arsenal and vehicles at your disposal. With each new round, the game play changes difficulty with different combinations of seven modifiers known as skulls taking effect. Once, tiny witless Grunts with their pea-shooters become the aggressors, lobbing five too many grenades in your direction with deadly accuracy. The less favorite skull is the Black Eye, requiring you to melee an enemy to regenerate health. With a shared pool of lives, Firefight requires a strong sense of teamwork needing to cover each other's backside. If cooperation isn't in your vocabulary, along with ODST, a second stand-alone disc offers all the multiplayer maps from the original Halo 3 for player-vs.-player death match.
The Halo 3 in the title is a misnomer, and the game should have been named ODST: A Halo Saga so it wouldn't have to carry the weight of the franchise. Although it might not satisfy its hard-core fan base known as Halo Nation, Halo 3: ODST is a smartly produced spin-off with a solidly made solo campaign with a heart-pounding multiplayer that no gamer should miss out on.

Ben Player (@ben_player) is a professional bodyboarder from Sydney, Australia and a 3 time World Champion. For the past 20 years he's been travelling the world, surfing some of the most perfect and gnarly waves that our planet has to offer and although he's one of the most successful guys in the sport has remained a humble legend.
As one of our Loqules on the platform and a very well travelled dude that still loves to call Sydney home, we thought we'd catch up with him to get his take on some of his favourite things.
Fav wave in Sydney?
Shark Island down at Cronulla. It's a world class wave with a hint of danger and it's right on Sydney's doorstep.
Fav wave outside of Australia?
I love Pipeline in Hawaii, it seems that the more experienced you get out there, the more complicated it becomes. Even after 20 years of surfing it I still get challenged out there.
Fav place to eat in Sydney?
I really love Ms G's. Good food and good vibes. We're pretty lucky in Sydney to have the diversity of cultures we've got, creates so much variety of flavours.
Fav place to get a drink in Sydney?
I love just getting a take away beer and driving down to Palm Beach to watch the sunset out the back of my Defender.
Fav record of all time?
I'd say Radiohead In Rainbows at the moment, and by the moment I mean the past 3 years.
Want to surf with Ben Player? The 3 time world champion will take you bodyboarding with him and give you some tips on areas of your bodyboarding that you'd like to improve.

08.03.2018. Le Sirenuse
Parts of Italy may be emerging from a recent snowfall, but the first stirrings of spring are already evident in Positano. The ancient wisteria plant that drapes its florets above the lane leading down to the church and the beach is reliving its youth once more, scenting the air as it buds, flowers on the cusp of opening. The almond blossom has been out for a while, and now the plum trees are following suit, deep fuchsia buds disclosing cotton-wool puffs of the palest pink. Meanwhile, on steep terraces above the sea, lemons and oranges still glow like secret lanterns under green canopies of leaves and netting – there to protect the fruit against the frosts and winds that can still strike as winter lashes out one last time against the coming warmth.
Le Sirenuse, which reopens for the 2018 season on 24 March, is no stranger to earth's reawakening. From the bougainvillea that sends branches and tendrils across the vaulted ceiling of the main La Sponda restaurant dining room to the lemon tree on the lobby terrace, immortalised in so many Instagram posts, plants have been an integral part of this Pompeii-red palazzo's raison d'être ever since it became the Sersale family's seaside home in the 1940s. "Oh, and the plants!", as one appreciative guest wrote recently on a well-known online review site. "You won't find any better in a botanical garden!"
Though the results may seem effortless, those plants require constant attention. The overall design, botanical masterplan and colour coordination is the responsibility of landscape architect Isabella Casali di Monticelli, who first began working with the late Franco Sersale on the planting scheme at the end of the 1990s. "It's a family home that gradually became a hotel", she remarks, "so I wanted to evoke the charm of the garden and terraces of an old Positano house. It has the outline of a little positanese garden with its lemons, roses, agapanthus…"
Day to day care of the plants, and the many adjustments that each season brings, falls to a team of gardeners overseen by Giulia Sersale. March is the end of a busy period for Giulia and her main collaborators, Nello and Peppe, as the hotel's winter closure is when major tasks such as pruning and repotting take place, as well as mulching, where necessary, to protect outside plants against occasional winter frosts.
Le Sirenuse's garden 'dream team' has been even busier than usual this winter. All the lemon trees have been replaced, having suffered the cold, with the new arrivals being planted in handsome terracotta pots made by famed Neapolitan terracotta firm Fratelli Stingo. The Cavendish banana plants in the lobby have also been swapped for healthy new specimens, and two splendid Yucca rostrata palms are due to arrive any day now. Sirenuse guests are often surprised to learn that many of the hotel's guest rooms become indoor greenhouses during the hotel's annual closure, hosting plants that normally stand outside but need winter protection from the cold and wind.
Giulia points out that one of the real challenges of gardening at Le Sirenuse is the fact that "almost all of our beautiful plants are in pots… so during the very hot summer months, we are in the hotel every day checking the plants' health, making sure they get enough water (never too much nor too little), and balancing their soil with fertilisers". She and her team follow a regular weekly schedule: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are dedicated to the plants inside the guest rooms (the gardeners will often dart in while guests are at breakfast), while on Thursday and Friday are given up to the greenery on the hotel's communal terraces and Franco's Bar. Giulia herself takes personal charge of the orchids, which are changed around once a month.
Plants and masonry live in delicate symbiosis. A scented Stephanotis floribunda (Madagascar jasmine) climbs the south-facing wall of the Champagne and Oyster bar terrace, talking the heat it needs to thrive not only from the sun but from the stone it rests against, which stays warm to the touch well into the night. Sometimes the plants get the upper hand, and need to be reined in. A few years back, it was discovered that the venerable bougainvillea on the breakfast terrace had sent its roots right down into the walls. In the end, a metal shield was inserted to protect the fabric of the building without harming the plant – a major engineering job.
Certain plants hold associations, some of them to do with family history, others evoking Amalfi Coast folk traditions. The magnificent Nephrolepsis exaltata fern inside the Champagne Bar was placed there by Giulia's aunt, Anna Sersale, over thirty years ago; today, its green fronds, as thick and unruly as Jimi Hendrix's hair, are set off by one of the hotel's art installations - Martin Creed's neon ceiling work 'DON'T WORRY'. Giulia believes that one reason for the fern's longevity is because it "thrives on the classical and lounge music" played in the bar. Another splendid specimen, the Strelitzia nicolai or 'bird of paradise' plant at the foot of the stairs that lead onto the Champagne Bar terrace, was a Franco Sersale purchase. Much later, it would provide the inspiration for another Sirenuse Art Projects commission – LA-based artist Alex Israel's trompe l'oeil mural Amalfi Dr., 2017, which takes this lovely arching tropical plant for a painted walk up the stairs.
Meanwhile, the fragrant lemon verbena or Aloysia citriodora, which head barman Robert Wimmer gathers to garnish certain summer cocktails, has far older associations: called Erba luigina in parts of Italy, in homage to Maria Luisa of Parma, wife of King Charles IV of Spain, it was used by milkmaids as a quick way of removing the tang of the milking shed from their hands on the way to church – they would simply 'wash' their hands in clumps of the lemon-scented herb.
Guests interested in Le Sirenuse's green world can sign up for a Hotel Flower Tour with gardener Peppe: tours take place on Mondays and Thursdays at 9am.

LeBron James and The Cleveland Cavaliers Move Forward In Style
LeBron James & The Cleveland Cavaliers
LeBron James only dropped in 15 points but pitched in 11 assists and 9 rebounds in Game 6. Nearly grabbing a triple double, he wasn't asked to score as the Cleveland Cavaliers zoomed past the Chicago Bulls once again. It looks like the Cavs will need the rest as the team is banged up.
James took the wheel without Kyrie, who re-aggravated his knee injury. Stunting on the floor, LeBron brought out the Nike LeBron 12 'Sprites'. Usually dressed in a blue, lime green, and white colorway, this time, the LeBron's Sprite editions featured a red upper and green outsole that resembles a GITD green.
These are more scarce than usual. There are only 100 pairs and it won't be available to the public. First dibs belongs to LeBron's friends and family as they were already sent these packages. The package includes the Sprite LeBron Mix flavors and a pair of Beats (a sponsor of James'). DJ Clark Kent took it to Instagram to flash his latest collection pieces.
While LeBron's close ones enjoy this, the Cavs will be preparing for their next competitor. The Atlanta Hawks are standing in the way of LeBron's fifth consecutive appearance in the Finals.

The pub trade magazine, The Morning Advertiser, has released its list of The Top 50 Gastropubs in England, Scotland and Wales for 2019. London secured eight spots on the list - not bad going - with the top slot countrywide going once again to the wonderful The Sportsman in Seasalter.
Here's the full list of London pubs that made the grade this year.
5. Harwood Arms
Walham Grove, Fulham, London SW6 1QP
Need to know: Owned by The Ledbury's Brett Graham and TV chef Mike Robinson of The Pot Kiln, this Fulham pub with Sally Abe at the helm is still the only Michelin-starred pub in London. Even the manager here, Laurens-Jan Peters is ex-Ledbury and Spring - that's the calibre we're talking about.
What to order? First seen at the Scotch Egg Challenge back in 2011, the Harwood Arms' venison scotch egg is still one of the best of its kind.
10. The Red Lion & Sun
25 North Rd, Highgate, London N6 4BE
Need to know: Tucked in a side street just minutes of the A1, this Highgate gastropub definitely comes into its own in the summer with a huge garden and we certainly spent a lot of time here this past summer. It's a local story too with even their meat coming from the local Highgate Butchers which may be why their Sunday Roasts look outstanding. The whole pub has just had a refurb so there's even more reason to come back if you haven't been here for a while.
What to order? The fish and chips are great - and you can get them to takeaway too. Although why would you when you can settle in here for one of the best wine lists in London.
12. The Marksman
254 Hackney Rd, London E2 7SJ
Need to know: Chef owners Tom Harris and Jon Rotheram reopened The Marksman in 2015, key to which was the opening of a wonderful, airy upstairs dining room. They've since expanded with their Bun Shop in Market Hall Victoria - but the pub is still a huge draw.
What to order? Menus change all the time, but you don't want to go home without having tried the brown butter and honey tart which is deservedly famous. And right now, the pheasant, leek and truffle pie for two sounds pretty fine too.
Book a table: call 0207 739 7393
15. The Drapers Arms
44 Barnsbury St, London N1 1ER
Need to know: Run by landlord Nick Gibson, the Drapers Arms has a reputation far wider than the usual neighbourhood pub. In the kitchen is Head Chef Luke Frankie who was previously Head Chef at Stevie Parle's Dock Kitchen. The pub runs a number of hugely popular annual events including Drink The List and their festival to all things offal, Glandstonbury.
What to order? From the current menu a starter of cuttlefish, braised chickpeas, tomato and breadcrumbs sounds great as does a main of Roast cauliflower, lentils, cavalo nero and walnut sauce.
23. Guinea Grill
30 Bruton Pl, Mayfair, London W1J 6NL
Need to know: This ancient pub (there's been a pub on this spot since the 15th century) has always been a London classic, but the arrival of uber-landlord Oisin Rogers in 2016 lifted it into a different level altogether. And he's recently been joined in his endeavours by food blogger turned front of house Dominic Rowntree.
What to order? Jay Rayner described the Guinea's mixed grill as "the sort of thing open-top tourist buses should stop in front of." Meat is what you're after here, and that mixed grill has plenty of it in. If you're after something a teeny bit less hearty - how about one of their award-winning steak and kidney pies?
31. The Anchor & Hope
36 The Cut, Waterloo, London SE1 8LP
Need to know: When this pub first opened it was A Big Deal, being one of the first modern gastropubs in London. Run by - as Matthew Fort described them "graduates of St John by way of the Eagle" - it was nigh on impossible to get a table here and - horrors - they didn't (and still don't) take bookings.
What to order? From the menu this week, glassblowers' herring with a shot of aquavit sounded mighty fine as did Suet crusted Highland steak pie for two.
Book a table: They only accept bookings for Sunday lunch - call on 020 7928 9898
34. Canton Arms
177 South Lambeth Road, London SW8 1XP
Need to know: Run by a team who started at the Anchor & Hope - and also own Stockwell Continental - the chef here is Trish Hilferty, who like owner Charlie Bousfield, trained up via the original London gastropub, The Eagle in Farringdon.
What to order? On the current menu, a starter of Salt cod brandade, black olives and a croute sounds just the ticket but you'll need to gather a group together for the best thing - seven hour Salt Marsh lamb shoulder comes with potato and olive oil gratin and serves five-ish.
49. Hero of Maida
55 Shirland Rd, London W9 2JD
Need to know: Henry Harris appears to be on a one-man mission to transform London's gastropub scene. This Maida Vale pub is just one of many he's taken over in his partnership with the Harcourt Inns group.
What to order? Easy - if it's on the menu, the roast grouse with Armagnac gravy, foie gras toast & bread sauce. Always the grouse.

"Probably caused by eating too many sweets which incidentally, explains why you are missing a leg."
Valentine's Day
So, I had so much fun coloring those Christmas Daily Doodles and turning them into greeting cards, I decided to do some Valentines Day one's too. As of writing this I've posted two in my shop, Cupid's Arrow and Hipster Mix Tape. Each in a greeting card and a postcard variation. I've got a whole list of comics that I want to turn into Valentines but I think I'll probably only get one more done before we get to close to the day.
Anyway, I hope you will go take a look and possibly buy some? maybe? or tell your friends? Please? Maybe? Thanks. Here's The LinkPosted 19:24

If you haven't been living under a rock, you've probably seen a cinemagraph or two floating around the Internet. You know the ones, those cool animated stills that you see on people's Facebook profiles and online ads. You may have even seen people making animated portraits for weddings or that one time a guy took a selfie. They can be quite challenging to do well, but can be a lot of fun to make and become a great marketing tool.
