Exotic and esoteric barcode scanners
Homer Simpson as a bar code reader? The barcode design contest sponsored by Barcode.com is yielding some exotic and interesting results for barcode scanners.
Designers are coming up with sci-fi and entertainment themes among others. The contest is located on the 99 Designs website and is open to people of all ages and locations.
The Bar Code News (www.barcode.com) has been championing innovation in the design and implementation of barcode scanners. This contest was created to give talented and creative people a chance to think outside the box. People both inside and outside the industry have been invited to participate.
The Homer version was designed by freelance graphic artist Stanislav Sestić of the firm Sele from Serbia (Sombor, Rastina).
Here are some other designs that caught our eye!
This tube design offers the option of easy to change covers - and could easily be themed for various holidays like Halloween or President's Day, or for promotions of vendors (maybe an Old Navy version for their stores, or American Eagle or even a Lady Gaga version for music stores.) Space on the interchangable covers could be sold to advertisers. This model was designed by Bender, of Finland.
The design below is perfect for a gaming store/movie theatre/ sci-fi themed venue.
This was created by Kame Graphics, run by Mufti Akbar Kurniawan from the city of Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia ( www.facebook.com/kame.surabaya)
The contest will run for about another week or more. Actually producing a working model is not needed. Just a sense of imagination or whimsy is important.
Have an idea? Make a sketch or picture, sign up at 99designs.com and submit it here.
There is a $299 prize for the winner!

Aug 6, 2008: New version! Deals with the immediate problems related to the Delicious 2.0 release, but no interface changes have been made yet to bring it more in line with the revamped Delicious Blog Posting settings page.
If you use the del.icio.us daily blog post feature, you may have noticed that sometimes it doesn't work. Maybe your blog server was down at the crucial time, maybe del.icio.us was down. Whatever the cause, a day's worth of your del.icio.us links never made it to your blog. What to do?
Enter the Delicious Blog Rescue Tool (or Super-d, as I affectionately call it).
New Intructions: Open it from the Firefox Tools menu and fill in your del.icio.us account name and password as well as the date of the missing blog post. Then go to your del.icio.us settings and navigate to the Blog Posting settings page. Copy over your job's settings into the Delicious Blog Rescue Tool window.
- Time: Enter the time, in GMT, when the post should have been made. Usually, you can use the Next run at time and round it up to the closest hour, then convert it to GMT time and pick that time from the drop down box. For example, if the next run is scheduled for [08/06/08 09:48:18 AM -0700] then you round up to 10 and then add 7 hours to get 17 GMT.
- Blog Account: The login name of the blog you would like the Delicious Blog Rescue Tool to post to.

Once the settings are filled in, click Make Blog Post. The tool will fetch all your links for the specified date and post them to your blog, just like del.icio.us should have done.
You must be running Firefox 3.0 or later to install this extension.

The group was born on February 3, 2016, and is inspired by Wasteland Weekend (USA) and fantasy festivals in The Netherlands. The objective of LUNA NEGRA is to organise post-apocalyptic events throughout Spain.
The name LUNA NEGRA was created a little later during a concert on the beach, after a few beers and the arrival of the wiching hour, the name was decided, thanks to the magic of the moment.

The plan would replace nearly half of poor Americans' monthly cash benefits with a box of food
Think of it as Blue Apron for food stamp recipients.
That's how Budget Director Mick Mulvaney described the Trump administration's proposal to replace nearly half of poor Americans' monthly cash benefits with a box of food. It would affect households that receive at least $ 90 a month in food stamps, or roughly 38 million people.

"USDA America's Harvest Box is a bold, innovative approach to providing nutritious food to people who need assistance feeding themselves and their families — and all of it is homegrown by American farmers and producers," said Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue in a statement. "It maintains the same level of food value as SNAP [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program] participants currently receive, provides states flexibility in administering the program, and is responsible to the taxpayers."
Part of the president's fiscal 2019 budget blueprint, the idea immediately sparked concerns and questions among consumer advocates and food retailers. They feared it would upend a much-needed benefit for more than 80% of those in the program.
Related: Why Trump's budget proposal is too optimistic on deficits
Here's how it would work:
Instead of receiving all their food stamp funds, households would get a box of food that the government describes as nutritious and 100% grown and produced in the U.S. The so-called USDA America's Harvest Box would contain items such as shelf-stable milk, juice, grains, cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans, canned meat, poultry or fish, and canned fruits and vegetables. The box would be valued at about half of the SNAP recipient's monthly benefit. The remainder of their benefits would be given to them on electronic benefit cards, as before.
The administration didn't detail exactly how families would receive the food boxes, saying states could distribute them through existing infrastructure, partnerships or directly to residences through delivery services.
The proposal would save nearly $ 130 billion over 10 years, as well as improve the nutritional value of the program and reduce the potential for fraud, according to the administration.
Related: How Trump plans to cut prescription drug prices
Consumer advocates, however, questioned whether the federal government could save that much money by purchasing and distributing food on its own. Also, they were concerned that families would not know what food they would get in advance nor have any choice regarding what they receive. Plus, it could be difficult for families to pick up the box, especially if they don't have a car.
"It's a risky scheme that threatens families' ability to put food on the table," said Stacy Dean, vice president for food assistance policy at the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

People struggle in the modern world to spend precious minutes with each other. It is nearly unimaginable for some people to believe anyone would have a partner with enough time or energy to control their every move, but it does happen. Isolating a partner within a relationship is a way to control their thoughts and feelings. It is generally initiated accidentally, and a good partner will help alleviate the loneliness. A partner that finds they enjoy control tends to work harder at keeping their partner isolated.
When someone is in an isolating relationship, friends and family do not always know how to help them. This is a difficult situation because the controlling partner will claim these people are only trying to ruin their relationship. The isolated person does not know who to trust, and they generally turn to their partner for support. This type of relationship often breaks up once the controlling partner gets bored with their dominance games or finds a new partner to control.

Multiplying corporate giving - from the top
CORPORATE giving activities positively impact corporate culture, which improves business services. This is one of the many values OCBC Bank sees in its giving programmes.
Today, one in four OCBC employees volunteers - a desire fuelled both by the bank's increasing efforts to encourage volunteerism and a growing personal willingness to give back to society. This in turn has made an indelible impact on the bank's corporate culture.
According to Koh Ching Ching, head, group corporate communications, OCBC: "By helping others, the attitudes of compassion, empathy, humanity and care for others are imbued throughout the organisation. Corporate silos are broken, productivity is increased and the spirit of serving is instilled."
OCBC's corporate giving programmes have not only helped to shape the corporate culture, they have also enhanced employee engagement and presented opportunities for building management and leadership skills. "OCBC values the care and empathy their employees are able to show during their corporate giving programmes, which they bring back to the workplace," Ms Koh added.
As Singapore's longest-established bank and one of the world's five strongest banks according to Bloom-berg Markets, OCBC's spirit of volunteerism is practised not only by its employees, but also by its leadership. On July 26, 2016, senior executives at OCBC invited 12 of its small and medium enterprise (SME) customers and Melissa Kwee from the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) to an informal lunch event, with the aim to encourage these companies to promote staff volunteering. For a start, these companies can be paired with the organisations which OCBC currently supports.
Lim Eng Heng, CEO of Cast Laboratories, found the event useful. "As an SME, there are limited opportunities for staff volunteering as we have finite resources. Working with other SMEs and partners like NVPC and OCBC will enable us to develop a more sustainable and impactful corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme."
As a founding member of the Company of Good movement, OCBC is also committed to working with these SME clients to develop their own CSR initiatives - drawing on the bank's expertise and knowledge from its own employee-based corporate giving programmes.

Joining the likes of Topshop, Zara and River Island, H&M has landed on Cape Town shores. The much anticipated (and long anticipated) arrival of H&M has been welcomed by a glitzy double storey flagship store in the Waterfront. The Waterfront has been bustling with unusually high volumes of human traffic since the official opening on 17 October, so I've steered away from all the commotion until today. The store boasts an upstairs and downstairs floor, the one ladieswear and other menswear, including an activewear, kids and accessories department amongst others. Just in time for summer, H&M is yet another addition to the Waterfront's choice of A list stores.

Fringes and Tassels have an amazing way of adding texture and movement to an outfit. My recent purchase of a Country Road tassel bag (pictured on my moodboard) is one of my best purchases yet, adding texture and interest to minimal outfits. On the catwalk for Spring/Summer 2015 Etro and Fendi stood out, with amazing surface texture and surface design, using laser cutting, applique' and Native American/ethnic surface detailing to add interest and a free spirited bohemian feel to their collections.

Heatons 2015 Kids Campaign
Season in Cape Town flies by at warp speed, with hardly any time to reflect on what's gone on from one job to the next. As a stylist you get booked on a multitude of different genre jobs from fashion campaigns, commercials and catalogues to prop styling. The Spring Summer 2015 kids campaign was one where I did the props styling, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now in winter, with time to reflect and grey skies outside, it's inspiring to see how bright pops of colour and pantone swatches turned into electric painted beach huts, colourful bunting and bright surfboards for the beach shoot, whilst a more pastel country palate combined with fabric tee pees, large windmills, flowers and carts featured in the country version of the campaign. I even got to work with my goddaughter Maia (in the blue jumpsuit) for the country shoot. Doing kids props is really fun and whimsical and takes one back to the playful thought process of being a child. I really had fun with this one.

Apple Mac Store – review
I have been playing around with the Apple Mac Store over the last weekend and found it absolutely enthralling and easy to use.
I wanted Keynote which I had been using on my MacBook White from quite a while. However, the iWork 09 website gives me the Keynote as part of the total package to buy and install or ship to.
I then tried to goto the Keynote website and it connected me to the Mac Store where I could purchase a licensed copy of Keynote for just $19.99 without Numbers and Pages (part of the bundle with iWork 09). Read the rest of this entry »

LOVING DAY is coming!
On Monday, June 12th, Bib & Tucker Sew-Op will unveil its LOVING QUILT as part of the national celebration of the 50th anniversary of the supreme court ruling, Loving Vs. Virginia, which knocked down the ban on interracial marriage. The LOVING QUILT is part of The March Quilts project and Loving Vs. Virginia is the third theme the project has tackled.
More than 100 blocks were made in 11 sewing sessions around Birmingham. Bib & Tucker facilitated sessions at UAB Hospital, Homewood Library, Birmingham's Central Public Library, the Birmingham Museum of Art among others. Come see the work of hundreds of Birmingham citizens - all celebrating love being color blind.
Quilts from all three years of the project will be on view from 9AM to 5PM on Monday, June 12th along the walkway between UAB Hospital's North Pavilion and UAB's Women and Infants Center (2nd floor). This event is free and open to the public.
Birmingham certainly is a small town, but people will tell you that it is bizarre just how interconnected lives seem to be...six degrees of separation usually becomes two to four degrees especially in the case of this Sew-Op customer. Marnie brought a quilt top made by her grandmother to the shop late last summer and as tends to happen with projects that require some thought and care, the top sat by patiently as I searched for a member to quilt it.
Lucky for all of us, "Mama Glo" is a speed demon when it comes to hand-quilting and she took the project on earlier this year. When the quilt was finished and we were admiring her work, Gloria said, "Now Lillis, I think I know this young lady. There aren't that many 'Marnie's in the world. I think I worked with her father some time ago". She went on to tell me all about the family - and indeed, it sounded as though she had become an honorary member of it herself by the time everyone parted ways.
When I wrote to let Marnie know that her quilt was finished, I told her who had quilted it and she replied that YES! She remembered Gloria well! When Marnie and her daughter came to pick up the quilt yesterday, the two caught up on family members and Gloria remembered attending the funeral of the woman who had made the quilt top that she had finished quilting.
All in a day's work, folks! If you come to Bib & Tucker Sew-Op, we just might reconnect you with friends from your past!
Bib & Tucker Sew-Op is a sewing co-op located at the convergence of Woodlawn, Crestwood North and Avondale.

I have several things on my mind to write about, but the thoughts filling my heart are the house we currently have an offer on. This is a short sale, which means we are waiting for the bank to decide if our counter to their counter is acceptable. While I really do love this house and while it is the first house I really felt at home in, I know that whatever the Lord has is best. The past two houses, I could not imagine finding one better suited for us and each time, God always led us to a better one. This journey, as many of you know, as been long for us, and I am so looking forward to the end of the road and pulling into my driveway in the home God provided for us for the first time. I have written many posts about this journey and I have used many Scriptures that really caught what I was dealing with at that time. There is one verse on my mind today and I am not sure how exactly it applies as I begin to write this post, but I hope we learn together as I write. It is one of my favorite verses and I think it is one we all should keep on our hearts.
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, "[Are] You for us or for our adversaries?" So He said, "No, but [as] Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?" Joshua 5:13-14 NKJV
Dealing with a short sale can be daunting. You basically submit an offer that your realtor enters into a computer system, which gets forwarded to the bank that holds the mortgage on the house. That bank assigns a negotiator who you may or may not even communicate with other than contracts and counters. If you agree on a price that price is then submitted to "investors" who have the final say. You are dealing with unseen and unknown professionals at a large bank deciding how much money they are willing to lose to get rid of a property that is losing money. It is a battle to find the lowest they will allow you to pay while they try to mitigate their losses and it is a battle where they hold the experience, resources, expertise, and ultimately the advantage. It is in cases like this where Christians like to think of God being on their side. The verse many take comfort in is:
What then shall we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [can be] against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:31-32 NKJV
While I would love to take that passage exactly as it was written and apply it to everything I want in life, I have to take that Scripture in the context of other Scripture. One of those Scripture is Joshua 5:13-14, which I quoted to begin this post. While God promises to "freely" give us "all things," it is not as open-ended as it sounds. God certainly would not "give" us a mistress when we are married. If God is for us, no one can come against us. If God is for us, He will freely give us all things, but the question I have to ask is God for me? I believe that question is answered in Joshua and affirmed by the teachings of Jesus.
Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you [are] the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw [them] into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. John 15:4-7 NKJV
Please note I am not saying that God's love for us is premised on our love for Him. God sent His Son to die for us while we were still sinners. The plan of salvation was planned, initiated, and performed by God alone. We had no part in it except for our inability to live a righteous enough to earn salvation. In that, God is for everyone as God wants everyone to be saved. After we are saved, God is still always for us in that God wants us to grow in Him. That said, God is not going to live our lives for us. Yes, Jesus led the righteous life that we could not so that His death could be counted as payment for our sins, but we still live our lives. God wants us to make the right choices, God wants us to live a life pleasing to Him, God wants us to act as the light and salt that we are, but ultimately it is our free will to live that life. God gives us the ability, but we must choose to use it.
It is in that day-to-day life and the choices we face and make each day that I am talking about. God is not going to be for you when you are not walking with Him. It is not for us to make decisions based on our own wisdom and then expect God to bless that plan and our lives through it. God is also not going to be for us in our sin. I refer you back to my previous example, if you are having an affair, God is not going to be for you in that relationship. He is not going to bless it or condone it, but He does have a history of exposing it. When faced with choices, temptations, and other decisions, our question should not be if God is for us or against us, our question should be is if we are with God.
This brings me back to Joshua. Joshua was poised to attack Jericho on their road to taking possession of the Promised Land. He approached Jericho and saw a man dressed for battle. I imagine this Man did not appear as any normal man is it would not have accounted for Joshua's reaction once He revealed who He was. Joshua asks this Man if it was for Israel or for their adversaries and I love the answer. His answer was "No." While I normally hate yes/no answer when I ask someone to choose between several things, this was absolutely the perfect answer. You see, this Man was no man, but this Man was none other than Jesus Christ. This is one of the several Old Testament encounters with our Lord. Joshua was asking the wrong question. The right question was not whether or not He was with Joshua or His enemies, but the right question was to examine his own heart to see if he was with God. God was always for Israel taking the land, but Joshua witnessed forty years of the generation that was not with God in that plan die off. Jesus revealed who He was in the rest of His answer "but [as] Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." You see, the army of the Lord was ready, willing, and able with overtake their adversaries forty years prior, but Israel was not ready to follow God.
Let's review what happened then. Joshua, Caleb, and the team sent to spy out the land returned and gave a scary account of giants, strong armies, and an impossible task. The people bemoaned the predicament and completely rejected the idea of the seemingly impossible odds of overtaking the land. Hearing this response, Joshua spoke up.
But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [who were] among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: "The land we passed through to spy out [is] an exceedingly good land. If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, 'a land which flows with milk and honey.' Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they [are] our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD [is] with us. Do not fear them." And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel. Numbers 14:6-10 NKJV
I can not say for sure, but I believe Joshua was reminded of what happened way back then. Joshua began this exchange incorrectly wondering if God was going to be with them, but ended the conversation knowing that the real question was if Israel was now ready to follow God.
And that brings me to where I am. My wife and I love this house we have an offer on, and while our prayers have been about favor with the bank, there is always the caveat of whatever the Lord wills. We do not want this house if it is not the house God wants for us. We may think we want it, but I was ready to give up two houses ago thinking I would never find a house I liked as much as that one in our price range. Little did I know I would find at least two others. If God was just "for" me in that first house I would never have found this one and if this one is not the one God has for us then the next one. We made the decision a long time ago to make this about surrender. Anyone (and many do) can make demands of God and expect God give them whatever toys they ask for and to bless them if they do receive them. That was Joshua's approach. He made a demand of Jesus asking "Are you for us or against us?" That is always our approach when we expect God to do our bidding and give us what we think we want. However, what we should be doing is surrendering ourselves to His will. That is what we do when we ask not for some specific thing but ask for His will in our lives. That is what we did when we did not ask to give us this specific house but to ask God to find us the house He has for us. It is never about God following us in our will. but us finally realizing that it is our place to follow God. In other words, it is not about God being for us, but about us being with God, abiding in Him, and in His plan for our lives.
Sometimes that requires patience. This is probably especially true with me as God has been trying to teach me patience for years. It is also about trust and knowing that even when things seem to not be working out, things are working out perfectly according to His plan. I refer you back to Numbers for a great example of that. To the Israelites, God's plan had a major wrench thrown into it as they came to a promised land they thought was impossible to conquer. The lost all faith in the God that has shown them miracle after miracle and paid a dear price for their rejection of His plan. I think I needed to be reminded of this today. I think I needed to be reminded that though I am in an unsure position in a situation (dealing with a bank on a short sale) that I have absolutely zero power to affect, that God does have a plan and has everything under His control. I need to trust that though this road has been very long, that God has taken me through, each step, leading me to where He has for me. If you abide in God, you never have to wonder whether God is for you or against you because you are with God. Sometimes that means following Him in obedience and sometimes that means waiting on Him in patience and trust. Right now I am in the latter place and that is another lesson I am learning from this. I closed many of these postings with Proverbs 3:5-6, but I am not going to today. Not that is not just as applicable this time than any other time but because I looking at it from a different perspective. As we trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding, sometimes we walk on the path God made for us and sometimes we have to sit back and wait for Him to clear it first.
Be still, and know that I [am] God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!The LORD of hosts [is] with us; The God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah Psalm 46:10-11 NKJV

The New York Times has an article today (Tuesday, 5 June) on the other white grape of Burgundy. That would not be Chardonnay...
That would be aligoté, a grape struggling to shake its bad reputation — pervasively believed to be thin, acidic and good for little else beyond serving as a base for kir, an aperitif in which white wine is blended with crème de cassis. This month, I hope, we will instead see the greater potential of the grape is by drinking some very good aligotés.
Wine School: Your Next Lesson: Aligote
Ha! Get on board, New York Times! We have long offered an Aligote: that would be from Jed Steele, his Shooting Star variation from Washington State, a wine akin in style to a Pinot Gris, but with a bit brighter fruit than most of those.
We recently picked up another Aligote, this one from Michel Sarrazin of Burgundy. Here's what their website has to say about the wine:
Hand-harvested. Fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. Aged 80% in tank and 20% in new, 500L oak barrels. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Aromas of red apples, fresh lemon zest, wild owers. Fresh and light, and flavorful; lemons and limes and sea salt.
Domaine Sarrazin: Bourgogne AligoteThis is not a heavy wine, so it will pair nicely with almost all seafood. We recently had some Ahi Tuna with a yogurt sauce laced with lime, the would have been a perfect accompaniment. Even better: scallops ceviche!

With its large open world that players can explore, Crimson Useless Redemption makes for an important sport. In case you are in search of something completely different, then SimCity Societies offers a unique model of gameplay in comparison with the other instalments.
The game was initially focused on online gameplay and interaction but has since been moved to a single player focused experience. I like to recommend beginning with quantity 2 or 3 and taking part in onwards from there if you wish to expertise the sequence. Gamers will really feel like they're part of an motion film, with over-the-prime motion scenes and many explosions.
The second recreation within the Cinema Tycoon franchise follows the same gameplay fashion of the original and has you accountable for a growing cinema business. Skyrim is the fifth version in the Elder Scrolls franchise and incorporates a large open game world together with many deep function-taking part in mechanics.
Unlike other assortment video games, the sport does not end after you tame them all although, with many options to keep gamers involved equivalent to Digi-Farms and many different Wi-Fi supported options. The sport play is strong and very pleasant and gives loads of interesting issues to do, allowing gamers to construct and blend issues together to seek out the perfect steadiness for customers.
If you would like a superb challenging gameplay, you should crank it up all the best way to the very best problem. Gamers can normally accomplish quests in different methods and customise their character in many ways that D&D ruleset provides. In every Anno sport, the participant starts as a small unknown country that must develop and expand within the world while protecting itself from numerous rivals.
Whereas mods for the sooner games are quite uncommon the rise of mod instruments and mod communities has made altering your favorite recreation a standard previous time. The game's unique features embrace a morale system that impacts individual unit statistics and a hero system that lets you create heroes to buff your troops, demoralize the enemy, or gain a robust tactical benefit in the discipline.

Mathew Kumar and I face off in the desert. Mathew sure has an intense gaze.
This past October, right before IndieCade 2011, I went on a short camping trip around California. I was joined by fellow game developers Mathew Kumar, Ed Key, and David Kanaga, and my friends Rolf and Matt Broach.
Starting from San Francisco, our original plan was to climb Clouds Rest in Yosemite National Park – one of my very favorite hikes. Actually, I had planned a whole film shoot, such that we would film ourselves playing J.S. Joust at the top!
Early October is usually a prime time to camp in the Sierras. But as our (bad) luck would have it, a giant storm system descended upon California, shredding our carefully laid plans to pieces. Undeterred, we realized one place we could go to escape the rain: the desert. So we headed southeast and ended up playing J.S. Joust right in the middle of Death Valley.
That's where we played. It's all still pretty surreal to me.
Yup, it was pretty epic.
Matt is putting together the final video. It will be done soon! Meanwhile, I wanted to "tease" some delectable stills from the footage.
Huge thanks to Matt for bringing the camera and taking all the footage. Matt has joined me on a number of my game-related escapades, so it was only fitting that he'd be there for this adventure too.
Now, onto the teaser photos…
Mathew and Ed face off against each other. Ed is the designer behind Proteus, so he was totally in his element out in nature.
These shots don't convey how goddamn windy it was. Sand was blowing everywhere around our feet. Actually, the sand even got behind the buttons, into the controllers themselves! The next day we had to open up all the controllers to empty out the sand.
Rolf and Ed try to diagnosis an unstable Bluetooth connection.
At first, we ran into some issues with the Bluetooth connectivity. Given all the sand that kept blowing into my computer and into my face, it was a little difficult to address the problem. Eventually, we just had one person hold the computer and the speakers, above the sand blowing at our feet. That seemed to do the trick!
To begin the round, we raise our controllers up to the desert sky!
The sun is the biggest Move controller of them all! (bad joke)
Ed, channeling a little bit of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, really rocked those shades!
David tries a new grip… or is he praying?!
J.S. Joust, by desert starlight!
Ed, creeping around by the green glow of his controller.
Some of these grainy, out-of-focus stills are simply gorgeous. Here's one of Mathew.
And here's another grainy shot of me.
A final, abstract shot of the Move controllers. Boy those things are pretty at night!
And stay tuned for the full video…

Brussels, 16 February 2016. The Eurovent Association has co-signed the 'Joint Declaration for an ambitious EU industry strategy', in which 92 leading sectoral associations call for the European Union to implement a determined and coordinated strategy for Europe's manufacturing sector. In the sector heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR), Eurovent, the Association of the European Heating Industry (EHI), and the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) supported this wide-ranging initiative.
The Joint Declaration responds to the considerable challenges Europe's industry is facing, including the current shift of the US towards 'America first'. It, amongst others, calls on the European Commission to 'reaffirm its commitment to reaching the target of 20% of GDP from industry' and to 'adopt and Action Plan to tackle the challenges that the industrial sectors are facing'.
'The clear majority of the more than 1.000 manufacturers that we count as our members are SMEs from all corners of Europe. They constitute the core of our industry, drive research and innovation, contribute to a skilled workforce, and support regional developments.' States Felix Van Eyken, Secretary General of the Eurovent Association. 'It is them that should receive the full attention of our policy-makers. Strengthening our joint European industrial values and efforts is thus something that we fully support. An ambitious plan is necessary to ensure a sustainable development of our sector.'
Van Eyken also remarked that not all points Eurovent brought forward found its way into the Joint Declaration. Following a recent declaration of non-European associations to not support the development of ISO standards but to instead leave it to chosen multinational companies to decide, this included, for instance, a strong statement for a global-level playing field, global cooperation, and open markets.

Opt out of unwanted services
Posted by: Unknown
If your inbox is clogged with unasked-for mail and you're worried your data is being shared without your consent, Jonathan Parkyn shows you how to find out what you've been opted into and get opted out
Opt out of Google Ads
Why am I opted in?
Arguably the world's most successful advertising company, Google lets you use lots of services for free. The catch is that you're automatically opted into a bunch of ad-related arrangements that use data about you, your personal interests and browsing history to target you with online ads.
Track anything online in real time
Posted by: Unknown
Thanks to GPS and the web, it's possible to track virtually anything across the world. Rob Beattie rounds up some innovative tracking tools you can use for both practical and fun purposes
Track air traffic across the world
With its beautifully simple interface that superimposes thousands of planes on a world map, the mesmerising Flightradar24 (www.flightradar24.com) is every schoolboy's dream. Double click a plane's icon and the sidebar reveals its route, altitude, speed and landing time; and with Google Earth installed, you get a 3D view from the cockpit that enhances the illusion of flying the plane. Flightradar24 is searchable, too, so you can not only find a specific flight but also see planes being routed from a particular airport.
Speed-Clean Your PC For Free
Posted by: Unknown
Wayne Williams reveals the best free tools and quickest methods to take the hassle and tedium out of maintaining your PC without cutting corners
It's important to give your PC a regular spring clean to keep it running efficiently, and there are plenty of excellent free clean-up tools that you can download to perform the job. Unfortunately, system maintenance is time-consuming and we've all got better things to do than watch progress bars creep across the screen, so it's often a task that gets put off or skipped altogether.
In this feature, we show you how to spend less time and effort removing clutter, freeing up space, fixing errors and optimising your system, without compromising the thoroughness of the clean-up. We explain how to speed up your PC-optimising software; offer faster alternatives to built-in Windows tools; suggest new ways to clean your computer that you might not have tried before; and tell you what doesn't need to be cleaned because it won't benefit your system and may even have an adverse effect.

Why we need variable refresh rate technology, and how it works
Pradically every display today runs at a fixed refresh rate, typically 60Hz. However, LCD panels don't require a fixed refresh rate to function; this standard is simply a legacy that dates back to vacuum tube-based televisions and CRT monitors. For gamers, fixed refresh rates are a problem - while the panel updates its image at fixed intervals, GPUs deliver frames at varying intervals, as the work required per frame changes constantly. If a frame is delivered mid-refresh, you get screen tearing, a phenomenon caused by the monitor displaying part of the old frame and part of the new one. It's particularly evident in scenes with lots of motion, and it can be very distracting.
i-Rocks Golem Series K50
Posted by: Unknown
There are still plenty of PC users that use membrane keyboards, and for a variety of reasons. They're usually more affordable than keyboards with Cherry MX switches, plus they're much quieter as well. Several manufacturers have grappled with the latter point over the past couple of years, with some of them creating their own switch types. The Golem Series K50 is a case in point. It uses scissor switches, but i-Rocks has tweaked the switch design to make them more gaming-friendly.
Natec Genesis GX88
Posted by: Unknown
Natec's Genesis GX88 looks like it's bristling with features compared with similarly priced mice, and the same goes for its specs list too. The 8,200dpi Avago 9800 laser sensor offers adjustment between 200 and 8,200dpi in 200dpi steps, so fine-tuning the sensitivity is certainly a strong point. What's more, the resolution for both the X and Y axes can be tweaked independently.
MOD Scene Mayhem
Posted by: Unknown
Earlier this year, Valve introduced paid mods to its Steam Workshop pages, but it was removed a few days later after a massive online backlash. Rick Lane investigates the fallout
On 23 April, a new feature was launched on Steam that allowed modders -amateur creators of modifications for various games - to charge real money for their work. Starting with Bethesda's Nordic RPG Skyrim, the plan was to gradually roll out this scheme across a range of games with extensive modding communities, in cooperation with the developers of those games.


text: In the summer between high school and college I got a job doing social work in the inner city. The one bright spot in that devastated neighborhood was a corner restaurant that served delicious chili. I ate there often after work, sweaty and spattered with paint, and in keeping with the impoverished surroundings, I left lousy tips. The waitress there was my age, but I assumed that she and I had nothing in common. After all, I was college bound.

For the past few days I've been working in Kiev. As instability and violence continues to grow in Donetsk, my employers and many of my friends have relocated – hence my change of location too. The circumstances are permeated with so much sadness and worry for those families fleeing and broken up by the violence in the East, and Ukrainians across the country anxiously forseeing an invasion by the Russian army.
The reasons for being in Kiev are far from ideal; however, it's been wonderful to have an excuse to visit this beautiful city so soon again. I've visited a few new places, discovered some incredible Ukrainian folk music and seen ballet and opera for the first time (and done some teaching too!).
A chance encounter at the Golden Gate led to a pretty magical evening sitting on the grass, drinking kvaas and listening to singing and kobza-playing by Taras Kompanichenko and fellow folk musicians. More to follow on their music! In the meantime, here's one of their songs – 'De Libertate' (On Liberty). Thanks to John Doe for the comment and additional info.

df [,OPTION/]... [,FILE/]...
This manual page documents the GNU version of df. df displays the amount of disk space available on the file system containing each file name argument. If no file name is given, the space available on all currently mounted file systems is shown. Disk space is shown in 1K blocks by default, unless the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, in which case 512-byte blocks are used.
If an argument is the absolute file name of a disk device node containing a mounted file system, df shows the space available on that file system rather than on the file system containing the device node. This version of df cannot show the space available on unmounted file systems, because on most kinds of systems doing so requires very nonportable intimate knowledge of file system structures.
Show information about the file system on which each FILE resides, or all file systems by default.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
Display values are in units of the first available SIZE from --block-size, and the DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE and BLOCKSIZE environment variables. Otherwise, units default to 1024 bytes (or 512 if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set).
The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (powers of 1000).
FIELD_LIST is a comma-separated list of columns to be included. Valid field names are: 'source', 'fstype', 'itotal', 'iused', 'iavail', 'ipcent', 'size', 'used', 'avail', 'pcent', 'file' and 'target' (see info page).

Individuals who have been internationally educated (not in the United States) may apply for the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology (CCC-A) or Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) by completing and submitting the application that is appropriate for their practice area, along with all additional required documents.
Individuals who hold speech-language pathology certification through any of the signatory associations under the Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) should use the MRA application process to apply for the CCC-SLP.
Applicants who received their qualifying degree (doctoral degree in audiology or master's degree in speech-language pathology) in Canada, who are not members of Speech-Language and Audiology Canada (SAC), must apply as an international applicant, even if their permanent residence is in the United States or their undergraduate degree was completed in the United States.
The Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) is a voluntary certification. It is an internationally recognized credential for speech-language pathologists and audiologists that shows you have received the highest quality preparation and training, and that you continue to learn advanced techniques through professional development. Because of the importance of the CCC, you must meet specific requirements (our "standards") as outlined within the current certification standards for audiology or speech-language pathology.
Certification is different from licensure. In order to practice audiology or speech-language pathology, it is required that you hold valid licensure in the state in which you wish to practice. ASHA certification (the CCC) is optional and voluntary, and is often desired in addition to licensure. Holding the CCC does not guarantee state licensure because each state has different licensure requirements.
ASHA certification alone is not a permit to work, but it can serve as the basis for applying for state licensure, which is a requirement for working in any state. If you are seeking to work in the U.S., you should contact the state regulatory agency or state licensing board in the state(s) you wish to be employed. In most cases, a letter from ASHA verifying your certification status is sufficient to allow you to meet state licensing requirements; however, some states require additional documentation (e.g., copies of exam results, clinical fellowship documents, etc.). Please make copies of your certification application materials before submitting them—ASHA does not provide copies of documents submitted for certification to licensing agencies.
Payment must be submitted in full with your application.
Applications will only be processed once all documents are received. Please allow approximately 6-8 weeks for the initial review once your application materials and payment have been received at the ASHA National Office. Each time that you submit additional documents after the initial review (due to corrections or incomplete or missing documents), additional review time will be required. Certification cannot be awarded until we have verified that all requirements of the standards have been met. Your application for the CCC does not guarantee that you will be awarded the CCC.
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is the national professional, scientific, and credentialing association for 204,000 members and affiliates who are audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; audiology and speech-language pathology support personnel; and students.
The ASHA Action Center welcomes questions and requests for information from members and non-members.

Sore Throat Causes
Viruses and bacteria are the two most common causes of an infectious sore throat. These infections may also lead to strep throat, sinus infections, or other respiratory infections. Other possible (noninfectious) causes of a sore throat include allergies, smoking, or dehydration.
What Causes a Sore Throat?A sore throat is a very common problem seen by healthcare providers. There are a variety of situations that can cause a sore throat. Oftentimes, these reasons are separated into infectious and noninfectious causes.
Infectious CausesHealthcare providers call a sore throat that is the result of an infection "acute infectious pharyngitis." All sorts of different organisms can cause a sore throat. The two most common are viruses and bacteria.
Viral Sore ThroatMore than half of all sore throats are caused by viruses (known medically as viral pharyngitis). They are often the same viruses that cause the common cold, flu, a sinus infection (sinusitis), or other upper respiratory tract infections.
Rhinovirus infections appear to be the most common reason for a sore throat. These viruses affect up to 20 percent of people. Other viruses that can cause a sore throat include:
- Coronaviruses
- Adenoviruses
- Herpes simplex virus (cold sore virus)
- Parainfluenza virus
- Influenza virus (the flu virus).
Specific symptoms can vary with each type of virus. Besides a sore throat, symptoms commonly seen with viral pharyngitis include fever, runny nose, nasal congestion, irritation or redness of the eyes (pink eye), cough, and/or hoarseness.
Less-common sore throat causes include Epstein-Barr virus (the virus that causes mononucleosis) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). These viruses cause sore throats in less than one percent of cases.

U.S. stock futures are trading lower as investors continue digesting yesterday's Federal Reserve announcement. As expected, the central bank held the benchmark funds rate steady at 2.25% to 2.5%, while suggesting additional rate hikes are officially off the table for 2019.
Additionally, the Fed lowered its GDP growth and inflation forecasts.
Against this backdrop, futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 are both down 0.34%. Nasdaq-100 futures have shed 0.39%.
In the options pits, the margin between call and put volume narrowed as uncertainty surrounding the Fed drummed up demand for protection. Specifically, about 18 million calls and 17 million puts changed hands on the session.
However, the put push didn't translate over to the CBOE, where the single-session equity put/call volume ratio held steady at 0.58. Meanwhile, the 10-day moving average fell to 0.62.
Options activity was a mixed bag on Wednesday. Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC) saw a surge in call trading while trying to break free of its six-week triangle pattern. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) suffered amid the post-Fed carnage in interest rates. Finally, Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) scored a high-volume breakout.
Let's take a closer look:
Canopy Growth (CGC)
Canopy Growth shares have been uncharacteristically sleepy of late. But the nap is about to end. So says Wednesday's high-volume breakout attempt, which ultimately failed in the aftermath of the Fed meeting. All eyes will be on the pot stock today to see if the second time is a charm.
The symmetrical triangle pattern forming in CGC over the past six weeks is ripped from a textbook. With the apex of the coiled spring pattern fast approaching, a big-league breakout is imminent. And if volume patterns have their way, the resolution should happen higher.
With implied volatility at the lower-end of its one-year range, long premium plays like buying calls or bull call spreads are an attractive way to game a potential rally.
Indeed, the mad dash for calls has already begun. Yesterday's activity roared to 235% of the average daily volume, with 107,380 total contracts traded. Put demand fell by the wayside as calls accounted for 84% of the day's total.
Bank of America (BAC)
Bank stocks took it on the chin following the Fed announcement. With Jerome Powell indicating zero additional rate hikes planned for 2019 and downgrading the Fed's growth expectations, bond prices ripped while bank stocks dipped. Bank of America led the way lower with a nasty 3.4% selloff.
Elevated volume accompanied the descent, suggesting this was an institutionally driven exodus. The groundswell in participation adds urgency to the bearish signal. With major resistance at $30 holding firm and the banking sector ousted to the doghouse, I suggest steering clear of BAC stock for now.
On the options trading front, calls won the day despite the beatdown. Activity ramped to 169% of the average daily volume, with 363,363 total contracts traded. 68% of the take came from call options.
The high uncertainty lifted implied volatility to 24% which, incidentally, places it at the 24th percentile of its one-year range. Premiums are now pricing in daily moves of 43 cents or 1.5%.
Netflix (NFLX)
Netflix scoffed at the post-Fed swoon and blasted to a new five-month high amid heavy accumulation. Only one more hurdle remains before the media giant returns to its 2019 peak and record high of $423.21 – the clear ceiling at $385.
With two months of sideways congestion, Netflix is well-rested and has plenty of gas in the tank to see follow-through after yesterday's pop.
On the options trading front, calls easily won the contest. Total activity jumped to 155% of the average daily volume, with 235,435 total contracts traded. 67% of the trading came from call options alone.
The increased demand drove implied volatility higher on the day to 50%, which also places it at the 50th percentile of its one-year range. That means premiums are officially pumped and short option strategies are now attractive. Bull put spreads are my strategy of choice here.
