I would like you all to meet the most perfect tartan shirt fromTopshop.
I love the 'glunge' look and it is easy to create. There really is an obsession with joining words together, for example, a lob (long bob) or brunch (breakfast, lunch). If you don't know what glunge means it basically means glam grunge. This can be created through layering, mixing a glam item with something that would be considered 'grunge'. You might even have been creating this look without even knowing it!
My 3 top tips to get this look:
01. Less isn't more.
You know all those chunky necklaces you own, wear them. Especially the ones that you would consider to be 'glam'. Layering is key.
02. Think 90's.
Band t-shirt? Check. Faux fur jacket? Check. Chunky heels? Check.
03. Can't be bothered doing your hair?
Would you take the plunge and rock a glunge look? (I'm too cool)

The Toshiba Canvio AeroCast Wireless HDD is a portable external hard drive for everyday consumers. The device is geared for users that have a large media library that they would like to take with them, say on a vacation, but don't want to load the entire library onto their mobile devices.

Patriot Supersonic Rage 2 USB Flash Drive Review
Patriot's new Supersonic Rage 2 is a high capacity (up to 256GB) and high-performance flash drive packed into durable rubberized housing for secure on-the-go transfers. With reported transfer speeds of 400MB/s read and 300 MB/s write, Rage 2 not only surpasses the speeds of its predecessor (the Supersonic Rage XT, 180MB/s and 50MB/s, respectively), it is also one of the fastest high-capacity flash drives we have reviewed to date. The Rage 2 leverages MLC NAND and a state of the art IC controller, as well as an LED light indicator for transfers. This flash drive would be ideal for any use case, but especially those in which a sturdy large capacity drive is desired (such as traveling media professionals or extremists).Read more

Seagate Wireless Mobile Storage Review
Seagate's newest addition to their signature line of wireless storage devices includes 500GB of storage and is geared more towards the everyday consumer than the previously reviewed Wireless Plus. Like their other wireless hard drives, Wireless Mobile Storage aims to ease the strain of large data libraries on mobile devices. Given the limited capacity of most smartphones and tablets, users end up streaming desired content. This can result in unnecessary data usage if the user is out of reach of Wi-Fi (often accompanied by usage fees). Offloading media libraries to Seagate's battery powered Wireless Mobile Storage (which creates its own local Wi-Fi signal) allows users to avoid usage fees while maintaining remote access to their content.Read more

The Seagate Seven is the company's newest addition to their external drive portfolio and is catered towards style-savvy users. This USB 3.0 portable drive is something very different than what we normally expect from Seagate. The Seven leverages an ultra-thin 7mm form factor and slick, premium design. Though not obvious when you first look at the Seagate Seven, this extremely thin device is very tough and durable for its size.Read more

Samsung Portable SSD T1 Review
The Samsung Portable SSD T1 is a storage device specifically designed for both enthusiasts and travelling professionals looking for both high performance and ultra-mobility. At a glance, it certainly looks like a unique portable storage solution, as this sleek looking device is incredibly small and built slightly larger than a business card (71mm long by 53.2mm wide). If you have some space in your wallet, it could likely fit there. And, with its use of the most modern V-NAND technology, this SSD device also packs a serious punch in the performance category.Read more

Lexar JumpDrive M20 Flash Drive Review
The new M20 flash drives by Lexar were designed to handle mobile storage and transfer needs for On-The-Go (OTG)-enabled Android users. Up to 64GB can be leveraged through its retractable (and capless) micro-USB and USB 3.0 connectors to alleviate mobile data drain and congestion; M20 drives perform offline cordless transfers (at 120MB/s read and 55MB/s write, which is faster than WiFi-mediated transfers) and could also be used alongside the mobile device's internal storage (or kept separate as a backup hub). They also function as normal USB drives, so Lexar has simply added a few meaningful incentives for Android users.Read more

Patriot Supersonic Bolt XT USB 3.0 Flash Drive Review
The Patriot Supersonic Bolt XT is a rugged USB 3.0 flash drive that focuses on both performance and data security. To back up this claim, the Bolt XT uses built-in FIPS 197 compliant hardware-based 256-bit AES security and the drive locks and reformats itself when 10 consecutive failed password attempts have been made. In addition, the flash drive is designed with heavy rubber housing to ensure that the integrity of user data is protected physically as well. Patriot is known for their rugged USB drives, and the Supersonic Bolt XT is no exception.Read more

Chapter 13, Part Fifty-Three: Interesting reversalson August 10, 2015 at 12:01 am
Screen 1
New angle, revealing BURLEY and CALLOW, each dripping with river-water, behind FARROW, each with their GUNS pointed at him.
FARROW is raising his hands. He's screwed and he knows it.
PAYNE taking the PISTOL from FARROW'S hand. He's a winner, and he knows it.
BURLEY and CALLOW still covering FARROW.
1. PAYNE: You remember my friends, Sergeant Burley and Mister Callow, don't you?
2. PAYNE: More stalwart help you would be hard-pressed to employ.
PAYNE looking at FARROW'S PISTOL in his hand. FARROW is not unreasonably becoming quite nervous.
3. PAYNE: Now, this is an interesting turn, would you not agree?
4. PAYNE: And were I to end you here and report to the Smoke that it was you who let the map slip away…
PAYNE levels the PISTOL at FARROW.
5. PAYNE: …well, there would be no one to tell it otherwise.
6. PAYNE: I must say, this has been a day of interesting reversals.
7. SFX/off: clk
8. SFX/off: k-chak
Screen 2
Reveal DRAKE and DRUM and WEST. West has a big and mean looking PISTOL of his own, while DRUM has, of course, his rifle, and DRAKE his PISTOL. They're behind CALLOW and BURLEY, now reacting with surprise.
1. DRAKE: One way to put it, I suppose.
Wide shot. A moment's hesitation — will this be a fight or not?
DRAKE, DRUM, and WEST all covering CALLOW, BURLEY, FARROW, and PAYNE.
PAYNE looks right-pissed. FARROW looks relieved. Because he's an idiot.
2. DRAKE: That's an awful lot of iron y'all are carrying.
DRAKE. Not nearly as amused as his words would suggest.
3. DRAKE: I imagine it'll be a pretty splash when they hit the water.

God is grieved by this amendment.
–The Rev. Mark Asman of Trinity Episcopal Church of Santa Barbara, California, revealing that God opposes either the Nelson or Stupak anti-abortion funding amendments to the health care bills (it's not clear which, but probably both); he didn't reveal how he discerned the divine will on these pieces of legislation, though it's fair to assume that he told the Almighty what to think and obtained agreement by virtue of his superior understanding of legislative language

Good Naked vs. Bad Naked: The Bottom Line on "Top of Mind"
In a 1997 episode of the Seinfeld sitcom, Jerry and the gang wrestled with the notion of "good naked" vs. "bad naked". What does that have to do with business? Well, that same critical eye might be applied to marketing exposure, specifically to the concept of "top of mind" awareness.
If you're the marketer, of course, being "top of mind" is a good thing, right? If you're the marketer's target, however, too much information is, well, TMI. So where's the middle ground? How can a marketer — and that should include all business professionals — create awareness that's generally respected and positions the sender as a trusted product or service provider?
Provide Inherently Valuable Content
The emperor may have no clothes, but content is still king. In fact, in today's barrage of information, the thoughtful crafting of content is more vital than ever. Think of it this way: with so many information channels — from print to electronic media, from visual to auditory, from experiential to subliminal — each of us must turn on filters. We must weed out anything that doesn't seem important, relevant and timely. The marketer, of course, would love for every email to be opened, every direct mail piece to generate a response, every ad to be viewed and every word of every article to be read. Reality, of course, demands more reasonable expectations. Industry standards for email "opens" are generally between 15 and 20 percent. Successful direct mail response rates typically run in the one to two percent range. Your print ad's success depends on many factors: design, placement, frequency, etc. Want to improve your chances of making strong connections? Be relevant, timely and interesting.
Here's how to make that happen:
Respect Your Audience
Especially for a service-oriented business, while it's certainly appropriate to remind people of the business you're in, what often works better than the hard sell is providing information, tips, and relevant guidance based on your experience and expertise. Remember, you're asking your audience to grant you little corners of their lives, if even for just a minute or two with each message. Make sure your content respects them, values their time, and rewards them for that privilege.
Know Your Audience
To craft successful messages you must first understand your targets. By segmenting your overall contact list of friends, family, acquaintances and associates into meaningful sub-groups, you can enhance relevance by sending different messages per segment. For example, you could classify your contacts as Suspects, Prospects, Key Prospects, Allies, or Clients. A "Suspect" might be an acquaintance, friend or someone who could benefit from, but has not demonstrated a near-term interest in your product or service; while a "Prospect" could be someone who has either expressed some interest or could be perceived as potentially needing your product or service in the not-too-distant future. A "Key Prospect", on the other hand, would be someone who has both express interest AND has a near-term need. "Allies" would be those persons who could influence others to utilize your product or service (Allies can, naturally, also be called "Influencers"). "Clients," of course, are just that, but can fall into one of two camps: current and former. Obviously, as interactions, interest and relationships change, your targets can move into different segments over time. It's great to be able to move your targets from Suspects to Clients, but recognize that not all of your contacts will — or even should — make that journey.
Choose Your Media
What's the best way to connect with your targets? In person? By phone or texting? Via email or Facebook? On the printed page? Some or all of the above? Knowing yourself and your audience — and most importantly, understanding their media preferences — should give you a sense of which platforms are most appropriate. Keep in mind that as your media platform changes, so should the scope and tone of your message; whereas in a print article like this I might have roughly 800 words to play with, Twitter will limit me to 140 characters. Choose your media and your messages wisely.
The Bare Bottom Line: A Ten-Step Action Plan
So…in the context of the information above, here's how you can best expose yourself (think good naked "top of mind") to your targets:
1. Know yourself (what you're good at and why targets should contact you when they need your product or service)
2. Determine your key branding messages
3. Identify and regularly contact your targets by segment
4. Determine the right frequency of these contacts by segment
5. Determine your best communications vehicles
6. Plan and carefully craft your messages
7. Work your plan
8. Get help if needed (it can save you time and money)
9. Follow through
10. Believe in yourself
Easy? Of course not. But if you need help or advice, contact me. And stay tuned as we continue to strip away the mysteries of branding, marketing communications, and… success undressed.

The Behemoth's co-op-slash-competitive platforming arena brawl mad-o-rama… thing has crawled up out of the dankest, darkest pit of development hell, and declared it's coming to the world next month. Really, really, really and for truly.
BattleBlock Theater was first announced about forever ago and subsequently vanished off the internet, only turning up once or twice over the next four years to tease players with brief glimpses of this wonderful thing they could not have. Until now, anyway, although it's still another two weeks or so to go. Set your clocks, people – the game's out on the Xbox LIVE Arcade on 3 April, although no pricetag has been confirmed yet.

Three Cities
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Three Cities of Malta
|Cospicua - Vittoriosa - Senglea
The Three Cities is a collective description of the three fortified cities of Birgu, Senglea and Cospicua in Malta. The oldest of the Three Cities is Birgu, which has existed since the Middle Ages. The other two cities, Senglea and Cospicua, were both founded by the Order of Saint John in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Three Cities are enclosed by the Cottonera Lines, along with several other fortifications. The term Cottonera is synonymous with the Three Cities, although it is sometimes taken to also include the nearby town of Kalkara.
Together, the Three Cities have a total population of 10,808 people as of March 2014.[1]
Birgu has been settled since the time of the Phoenicians, but the current city dates back from the time of the Order of Saint John. Birgu was chosen as the capital city of Malta instead of Mdina upon the arrival of the Order in 1530. After the 1551 attack, Senglea was built on the peninsula known as L'Isola. In Birgu, Fort Saint Angelo was built on the site of the ancient Castrum Maris, and Fort Saint Michael was built on Senglea.
The cities were besieged during the Great Siege of Malta of 1565, and after the siege was lifted Birgu was given the title of Città Vittoriosa and Senglea the title of Città Invicta. In the aftermath of the siege, the city of Valletta was built, and in 1571 the new city became the capital instead of Birgu. The cities' fortifications were strengthened during the reign of Grandmaster Nicolas Cotoner, and in 1722, Grandmaster Marc'Antonio Zondadari gave the town of Bormla the title of Città Cospicua.
The Cottonera lines or rather Civitas Cotonera was intended as a city surrounded by fortifications. These impressive fortifications were built according to the plan of Antonio Maurizio Valperga on four of the five hills of Bormla. Originally intended as a much larger defense system which would encompass the Corradino hill and extend over Kalkara to Ricasoli, the final plan intended for the Citta Cottonera to be a city with the fort St. Margerita as a citadel at its centre. The beginning to construction began on 28 August 1670 with great solemnity as follows: 'On that day a general procession of all the regular orders walked from the Parish Church of Burmula, led by the prior of the convent church, who held the famous relic of St. John, glorious protector of the Holy Religion followed by the Grand Master, all the knights and a lot of citizens walked towards the hill, where the bastion of S. Niccolo was planned; here and there, with the usual ceremonies, and blessings, the Grand Master Fra Nicola Cotoner cast various coins bearing his and the city's mark within the foundations of the wall, as also did the Knights of the Grand Cross while they invoked the Divine help. The foundation stone was laid with the firing of the guns of all the fortresses.' The six kilometre fortification encircles Bormla with a series of bastions and triumphal baroque gateways.
A detail from the cartouche by Albert Clouet of the Civitas Cotonera, shows a central castle or fort; the Fort Santa Margerita surrounded by the present day Cottonera lines with new buildings, palaces and gardens with the Dockyard Creek and most importantly, it shows Bormla forming an essential part of Civitas Cotonera. These areas in Bormla within Clouet's cartouche were and are still spread over 3 areas in present-day Bormla; the lower Santa Margerita area, the Verdala/St. Helen's area and the Dock No. 1/St.Paul's area. Albert Clouet's cartouche excludes the peninsulas of the two neighbouring cities, so it is quite evident that neither Birgu (Vittoriosa) nor Isla (Senglea) were ever intended to form part of Civitas Cotonera. With the death of Grand Master Cotoner critics of the design discontinued work claiming that it would not withstand a siege. Numerous people of note have affirmed this claim and have even gone as far as to say that the Cottonera lines are not siege proven. The blockade by the British and the Maltese uprising against the French who had to defend their position by locking themselves within the Cottonera lines for well over a year should be sufficient proof that these claims are spurious. With the discontinuation of work on the Civitas Cotonera, the Fort St. Margarita continued with different redesigns by various Grand Masters to its present appearance as a line of bastions.
It is safe to say that by the 1670, the fortifications of Birgu(Vittoriosa) and Isla(Senglea) were grossly outdated so the building of the Cottonera fortifications during the reign of Grandmaster Nicolas Cotoner were intended to protect the harbour and Valletta from the landward side against possible attacks by the Ottomans landing at Marsaxlokk.
Bormla's ancient name of Burmula has been defined as Phoenician or Punic which indicates this city's ancient origins. In his book Notizie Storiche Sull' Etimologia Dei Nomi, Achille Ferris explains that 'Burmula' is made up of the words 'Bur' and 'Mula'; 'Bur' for 'place' and 'Mula' for 'high'; an eminent place. Bormla's domination in height over the surrounding areas tends to corroborate this version. In the book Della lingua punica presentemente usata da maltesi &c, Giovanni Pietro Francesco Agius de Soldanis refers to the t'Ghuxa area in Bormla and the ancient name of Burmula itself as proof that these have Punic origins. The meaning of these words in themselves indicate that Burmula was regarded as an eminent place that stands out - a conspicuous place hence the term 'Cospicua' is as ancient as the name 'Burmula' because it is a direct translation of the site's Phoenician name. It is said that in 1722 on seeing the Bormla's eminence and double line of fortifications that surround it, Grand Master Marc'Antonio Zondadari, honoured the town by proclaiming it as a city, hence the term: Città Cospicua - The Conspicuous City.
During World War II, the Three Cities were heavily bombed by the Italians and Germans, and they were rebuilt in the 1950s and 1960s.

State of the Town | Fuquay-Varina
The town of Fuquay-Varina came to us hoping for a way to get more people excited about and informed by the State of the Town each year. In the past, they would host a live event to update citizen's through powerpoint slides and stats, but they struggled to build an audience and grow their reach.
We worked with the town of Fuquay-Varina to develop a script that was fun, light-hearted and informative – keeping in mind their main objective is to update the citizens on town progress and accomplishments. We partnered with the very talented Bill Jordan for the voice-over.
For the style and design, we kept colors consistent with the town's recent rebrand and wanted to ensure the motion design also represented the brand with fun, bouncy movements. With a social video over 6 minutes in length, our team worked hard to ensure the voice-over was balanced with on-screen visuals, sound effects, and motion design in order to maintain audience attention.
With over 20,000 views and more than 120 shares, the motion graphics video we produced for Fuquay-Varina was not only informative, but fun to watch and has reached more people than any other method in the past!

2014 Martin Ray Dark Star Hill Pinot Noir
The Vineyards
Green Valley's proven record as one of the most highly acclaimed Pinot Noir AVA's in the state has garnished a reputation as revered as its Cabernet counterparts in our neighboring Napa Valley. Our 2014 Dark Star Hill is our homage to the breadth of style, and intricate complexities of the fruit that is grown within its narrow borders. With our Green Valley Reserve, our goal is to embody the bright red fruit and silky tannins that define its iconic style. Our Dark Star is intended to be the counterpart,showcasing the deeper, brooding facet of the AVA.
Vintage Notes
The 2014 vintage was challenging due to drought, but produced amazing fruit with smaller clusters and lower yields. An ideal harvest with consistently moderate temperatures and weather conditions, allowed the vines and fruit to stay healthy and maintain concentrated flavors and exceptional quality.
Winemaking Notes
The contributing Green Valley lots were harvested early in the cool mornings of September. The different clones are layered into small stainless-steel fermenters as they're crushed to ensure the distinct characteristics are well-integrated. The must is then gently basket pressed and put to barrel for 12 months in 50% new French oak, specifically chosen to provide a seamless integration by boosting the fruit's natural depth and beauty.
Tasting Notes
This rich, striking wine is meant to stretch the boundaries of the traditional perceptions of Green Valley Pinot. With darker tones of ripened raspberry, black cherry, and rich berry compote, earthy strawberry-rhubarb, and the spicy fragrance of cedar and cola, this wine delivers generously on all fronts. Despite its intensity, bright acids and silky tannins help anchor this wine to its roots.

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me; eleven happy Who's, ten types of candy, nine Christmas wishes, eight nightmare dogs, seven dancing snowmen, six Christmas parties, five holidays! Four homemade traps, three skellington reindeer, two bad-mouthed con men and a Gremlin who is a cutie!
Much to the disgust of my boyfriends family I had never seen How The Grinch Stole Christmas. So yesterday afternoon I sat down with them to watch their favourite Christmas film.
Inside a snowflake exists the magical land of Whoville where every Who knows that the best time of year is Christmas. Just outside of Whoville lives the Grinch, the most Christmas hating creature there ever was. He plans to steal Christmas from the super happy Who's with the help of his trusty dog Max. All the Who's are scared of the Grinch, all except one small Who called Cindy Lou, who decides to befriend the Grinch and see if she can make him realise what Christmas is really about.
I can't believe I have never seen this film before! It's one of the sweetest, funniest Christmas films I've ever seen. It's bright, colourful and clever and will turn even the smallest of hearts into large caring ones, bursting with Christmas excitement. Plus it tells you what Christmas is really about – spending time with a loving family and simply having a good time. So much like the Who's, go stuff yourself silly and enjoy good company!

Imagine you were hit with an unexpected medical bill for $400. Would you pay it off in cash? Put it on your credit card? When the Federal Reserve asked American consumers this question, a shocking 47% of respondents said they would not be able to cover an expense of that size.
The survey points to a troubling reality: many people across the country are living paycheck to paycheck. In Seattle, there are over 40,000 low-income households spending more than half of their income on housing, squeezed more and more as rents rise.
When most of your earnings go to keeping a roof over your head, the line between being stably housed and on the street can be very fine. Back in July of 2015, the Committee to End Homelessness in King County presented a study showing that an increase of only $100 in median rent corresponded to a 15% increase in the homeless population.
I am often asked what role CHH has in addressing the homelessness crisis. The answer? A large one. We don't run homeless shelters, or tent cities, or conduct outreach. But we do own or manage over 1,400 affordable units across the city, and for many of our residents, an affordable place to rent is the difference that keeps them off the street.
We also know that getting people into housing is often only the first step on their journey home. Our resident services staff works tirelessly to connect tenants to resources and opportunities in the community. And when folks fall on times of financial hardship, we provide emergency one-time rental assistance to those who complete a financial education class, to try and keep as many people in their homes as possible.
For families that are making just enough to scrape by, quality, affordable homes close to jobs and public transit can make a world of difference. Next year we are excited to break ground on the 115-unit Liberty Bank Building project, our largest yet. It represents our commitment to make sure that as Seattle grows and changes, we continue to offer housing for people at all income levels. When growth happens, it should help lift all residents, not push some out.
Chris Persons returned from his three-month sabbatical this week, so this will be my last time on the soapbox. We're all glad he had some time to recharge his batteries, but also excited to welcome him back. May his renewed energy be infectious as we rise to meet new challenges and opportunities in our ongoing fight to keep Seattle affordable for all.

Dun, dun duuunnnnnn....
**Contains spoilers for previous books**
Released date: 7th August, 2014
The country is at war. Beset by enemies within and without. And all because of the decisions changed by one boy – Scott Tyler.
In this ravaged alternative world, Scott hardly recognises himself. He's a war hero, a leader of a unit of Shifters and maybe the only one who can prevent the country's frail defences from crumbling.
But all Scott wants to do is find a way back to the reality he knew – without losing the girl he loves.
With every Shift he makes, Scott edges closer towards oblivion. With no one to trust – not even himself – how much is he willing to risk to get home?
It's such an awesome and kickass cover! I love it and can't wait to get my hands on it. The set are going to look AMAZING together on my shelf!

FDA enlists doctors to police misleading drug ads
In its latest push to keep drug makers honest, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will soon begin asking doctors to pay special attention to drug advertisements and report those that violate FDA rules. Such violations include sales pitches that tout drugs' benefits but understate their risks, exaggerate how well drugs work, or suggest off-label uses not approved by regulators.
"False or misleading promotion can have a negative public health impact for a variety of reasons," said Shelly Burgess, an FDA spokeswoman. "It can negatively impact prescribing decisions and safe use of the drug by failing to disclose key risks, or by representing that a drug is more effective or useful in a broader range of conditions than it has been shown to be."
By enlisting the support of health-care providers, the agency aims to curb abuses that occur beyond TV screens and the public eye, such as direct sales pitches at doctors' offices and medical conventions. Physicians will be able to report such violations anonymously.
Currently, the FDA relies on drug companies to voluntarily submit their ads, brochures and presentations for review, or on tips or industry complaints. The agency issues warning letters to companies that use misleading ads, but because of backlogs and the sheer volume of submissions, those letters often don't reach their destinations in a timely manner.
"We don't have the resources to review all of the tens of thousands of prescription drug promotional pieces that are produced each year," said Burgess, adding that regulators use a risk-based enforcement approach to act on the most serious violations first.
This year alone, the FDA has cited Novartis, Genentech, Sanofi-Aventis, GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Biogen, and a number of other pharmaceutical companies for marketing drugs in a misleading or untruthful manner.
Regulators have recently ratcheted up pressure on the pharmaceutical industry to steer clear of deceptive practices such as illegally promoting drugs for unapproved uses and continuing to sell defective medical devices that risk patient safety.

Also, I don't think it's possible to invert it explicitly, and get an expression for position as a function of time.
Also, I don't think it's possible to invert it explicitly, and get an expression for position as a function of time.
There, I think I like this one better.
Looks like it's here to stay. What a difference a few planets can make.During the flyby the comet lost a slight amount of orbital energy to the planets and ended up in a much less elongated ellipse with a period of some 75,000 years. That would be an aphelion of about 3,600 AU, or 0.06 light year.
We know time flies, we just can't see its wings.
But in any event, I began with F=m a. F comes from inverse square law, a is second derivative with respect to time.
Unable to solve this differential equation directly, considering time as the independent variable. However, rewriting it all with position as the independent variable, it works a lot better. Quickly got velocity, same as yours. From then on, derivation was similar, except that you used a change of variables and worked it that way, I asked Mathematica to solve it. I got a bizarre solution with complex numbers all over the place, but from the nature of the problem, we know there is a real solution. Focussed on the real part of the solution, ignoring the imaginary part and relearning how to take the logarithm of a complex number, simplified, and ultimately found something quite similar to my answer. However, my answer gave negative time as a function of distance, so it described an object moving away, not toward, the sun. Made the appropriate and very simple modification.
Verified solution satisfies F=Ma.
I think your method includes more physical constraints earlier than mine, and thus leads to the solution in a shorter path. So I think I recommend your method, unless one likes the scenic route.
v = u + at
s = ½(u+v)t
s = ut + ½at²
v² = u² + 2as
where u is initial velocity. Setting u to zero in the last formula gives v =√(2as), which is the equation I integrated with respect to distance, switching in r as my distance variable to reflect the fact that distance was being measured radially.

Arg - think I'll skip the second one.
Not exactly the same. However, differentiating with respect to ,
Multiplying both sides by , and changing the independent variable to ,
Then integrating with respect to ,
So, works for me. (I realise now I used both for initial velocity, and as a variable of integration. I'm too lazy to go back and change it.)
But the reason I thought it was conservation of energy is, kinetic energy is
But a force needed to move the object up is (negative because the acceleration is in the opposite direction from the gravity). Then potential energy is force acting through a distance, so
Lower limit of integral left unspecified, because the choice of the "zero level" of potential energy is arbitrary. Total energy is conserved, so adding them up, the derivative with respect to should be zero,
This can be rewritten as
which is the same result as before. So it can be derived through conservation of energy.
Yes, potential energy per unit mass in an inverse-square field is -GM/r.
So the kinetic energy per unit mass gained in falling from distance D to distance d is GM(1/d - 1/D).
Multiply by two, take the square root, and you have the velocity at distance d, if velocity was zero at D.
Grant Hutchison
But the velocity formula I quoted provides the structure to go on and integrate acceleration with respect to displacement, which gives you a result that is half the difference in squared velocities (initial to final). So it's a way of calculating work from force times distance, and in this case all tied up with conservation of energy in an inverse-square gravitational field, as you point out, and I used it to get myself a final velocity from a stationary start.
I could certainly have been more explicit, and the argument from conservation of energy would have worked fine too, but those two pages were just intended to be a personal aide-memoire for the solution of a problem I'd found tricky, in terms of finding a good substitution to solve the integral. (I have a whole file of pages like that!)

7 Good Latching Tips To Help You Breastfeed
Latching is the fastening of your baby's mouth to your breast during breastfeeding. It is how your baby attaches properly to your breast in order for the milk to flow freely into his or her mouth. Good latching is one of the components of effective breastfeeding techniques and you need to learn it.
The commonest reason reported by women for stopping breastfeeding is perceived low milk supply, difficulty with latching and breastfeeding position and nipple discomfort. With good education on breastfeeding basics and support, a mother can achieve good latching. Skilled lactation support can empower women( especially those from rural areas ) to have successful breastfeeding. Good latching prevents nipple sore, cracked nipple, nipple pain and to ensure effective flow of breast milk.
Here are 7 latching tips to help you effectively breastfeed your baby.
1. Good Latching and Attachment for your baby is important
While mothers demonstrated knowledge and positive attitude towards breastfeeding in a study that assessed knowledge, attitude, and techniques of breastfeeding in a semi-urban community in south-west Nigeria [1], those from north-west region of the country, however, need additional counseling due to low literacy levels among women in northern Nigeria which has the lowest literacy levels of 26% among women in Nigeria [2].
The video below was produced by Global Health Media Project to show mothers how to achieve good latching and effectively breastfeed their babies.
video credit: www.globalhealthmedia.org
2. Make sure you are comfortable while breastfeeding
To have a good latch does not depend on baby's position-you can place your baby in any position as long as he can latch well and you are comfortable.
You may sit on a chair (with a pillow to support your back) or lie down, depending on what feels comfortable to you. If you sit down, you may use a stool to raise and support your legs and feet. This helps to support your back and neck and prevents you from straining and bad posture. You could also use pillows to support your baby.
3. Good Latching techniques should be demonstrated to mothers
All mothers need information about basics of milk production, how to manage milk supply, practical skills on how to breastfeed and the benefits and possible problems associated with breastfeeding. In addition, the information on breastfeeding and complementary feeding should be given to mothers at the appropriate time of breastfeeding, considering the fact that mothers' need for specific information evolves during their breastfeeding journey.
Mothers should not just be taught about latching during teaching demonstrations they need to have practical coaching sessions (hands-on approach) on latching to help them to latch while they are in the hospital. This boosts the mother's confidence to help her baby latch when they leave the hospital.
Mothers should be told educated on both the benefits and challenges of breastfeeding. They want to be reassured that the challenges are transient and they will get easier with time. In the absence of guidance and support, it is easy for moms to quit breastfeeding early especially new moms, who have no previous breastfeeding experience and are not prepared for setbacks of breastfeeding.

4. Wear Comfortable clothes when you breastfeed
The type of clothes you wear could affect the way you attach and breastfeed your baby. For example, Indian women who wore "sarees" found it difficult to support babies with their hands [3].
Tight fitted blouses or dress with no open access to your breast will interfere with your baby's feeding; the baby will struggle to locate your nipple and latch properly. You may not be able to also support your breast and maintain a good latch while your baby sucks.Also, you should get nursing bras and nursing pads for comfortable breastfeeding.
Use a blouse or dress that you could open on your chest around the breasts- preferably one with an opening, a zipper or buttons.
5. Express or pump breast milk when necessary
As much as it is best to teach mothers to achieve good latching and get adequate amount of breast milk for their babies, mothers need to told it is ok if breast milk doesn't start pouring in immediately after birth. The amount of breast milk needed by the baby changes at different stages of growth.
www.hunyzone.net www.amazon.ca
Many breastfeeding mothers use hand or pump to express breast milk, either because of latching problems and they need to produce milk for her baby, if they have nipple sores or need to return to work. Hand expressing can boost milk supply and reduce breast engorgement.
A mother may also need to express or pump breast milk if she is separated from her baby, for example, after Caesarian section. This is usually for a temporary and short time until the mother can attach her baby to breast. Expressing breast milk will ensure continuous milk production and supply before baby eventually attaches to the breast to suck. You can then practice good latching for maximum milk supply when you reunite with your baby.
Mothers feel they don't get adequate information on how to express or pump breast milk to keep a steady supply of breast milk [4]. They need to be taught how to hand-express or pump breast milk in breastfeeding classes during pregnancy. The midwife or lactation consultant should also practically demonstrate and coach the mother how to do this before she leaves the hospital after delivery. There is need to include the teaching of hand expression and pumping of breast milk in breastfeeding counseling.

6. Healthcare Providers Can Support Mothers to Achieve Good Latching
Healthcare Providers may provide inaccurate or inconsistent information about breastfeeding, thus confusing mothers, making them seek correct and reliable information. In a study carried out in Canada to assess the perceived breastfeeding information needs of mothers, only 18% of the mothers reported they have received all the support and information they needed form their healthcare providers. [4].
The role of Healthcare Providers (HCPs) in ensuring effective breastfeeding by mothers include giving support and encouragement to mothers, providing evidence-based and consistent advice and discussing common challenges and solutions of breastfeeding with mothers ahead of their breastfeeding experience. This will reduce the fears and uncertainties mothers face during breastfeeding.
Healthcare Providers caring for lactating mothers should be adequately trained with reliable knowledge to give advice and support on breastfeeding using clear training protocols that should be used consistently by all HCPs that communicate breastfeeding messages to mothers.

7. Get proper counseling before you leave the hospital
Hospitals and maternity clinics can do a lot to support mothers to easily breastfeed. Ask to discuss your breastfeeding plans with a healthcare provider before you leave the hospital.
Below is what healthcare providers can do to support mothers to breastfeed.
Are you still worried about having a good latch?
Don't be.
It is common for mothers, especially first-time moms to be apprehensive and feel overwhelmed about getting a good latch during breastfeeding. With proper education using practical demonstrations by trained healthcare providers and sharing common experiences with experienced moms, latching problems can be managed.

Whether you're getting prepared to install your pool or your searching for new products, I'm sure you have seen the boom in products claiming "energy efficiency." I'm sure you have also noticed then the increase in price of these products in comparison to the traditional equipment. So, is it worth it? Lets take a look....
The average cost of electricity per kilowatt hour in America is $0.10. During the summer months, it is best to let your pump run 24 hrs a day. According to Pentair, the ordinary pool owner can often spend more than $1000 a year on pump operation alone. A typical two speed model cost's $789 a year. These numbers translate as a savings of about $300 per year.
Most two speed or variable speed pumps cost 2-4 hundred dollars more than your traditional pump, so the savings alone pay the difference in the first year! Also, consider that some states such as California and Arizona already have laws in effect that require all newly installed pool pumps rated over 1 HP to be either two speed or variable speed. Some places even mandate the pump be connected to an automatic timer that will shut the pump off after it has run the necessary amount of time.
Many other states are also proposing enacting similar laws in an effort to conserve energy. Some cities and power companies are also offering cash incentives to pool owners who switch to more environmentally-conscious pumps, so be sure to check with your local government to see if such a program exists in your area.

Whenever you interact with our Services, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, geolocation data, device identification, "cookie" information, the type of browser and/or device you're using to access our Services, and the page or feature you requested. "Cookies" are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Services are visited and by how many people. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device's acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features. If you click on a link to a third-party website or service, such third party may also transmit cookies to you. Again, this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and we aren't responsible for their privacy policies and practices. Please be aware that cookies placed by third parties may continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Services, and those third parties may not honor "Do Not Track" requests you have set using your browser or device.
We may use this data to customize content for you that we think you might like, based on your usage patterns. We may also use it to improve the Services - for example, this data can tell us how often users use a particular feature of the Services, and we can use that knowledge to make the Services interesting to as many users as possible. For more information, please visit our Cookie Policy here: https://www.anomali.com/cookie-policy
We may share your Personal Information with third parties as described in this below:
Information that's been de-identified. We may de-identify your Personal Information so that you are not identified as an individual, and provide that information to our partners. We may also provide aggregate usage information to our partners (or allow partners to collect that information from you), who may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use our Services, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online experience. However, we never disclose aggregate usage or de-identified information to a partner (or allow a partner to collect such information) in a manner that would identify you as an individual.
We may deliver a file to you through the Services (known as a "web beacon") from an ad network. Web beacons allow ad networks to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for us and for advertisers. Web beacons also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit other websites. Because your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons from the ad network's servers, these companies can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. You may be able to opt-out of web beacon tracking conducted by third parties through our Services by adjusting the Do Not Track settings on your browser; please note that we don't control whether or how these third parties comply with Do Not Track requests.
Affiliated Businesses: In certain situations, businesses or third-party websites we're affiliated with may sell or provide products or services to you through or in connection with the Services (either alone or jointly with us). You can recognize when an affiliated business is associated with such a transaction or service, and we will share your Personal Information with that affiliated business only to the extent that it is related to such transaction or service. We have no control over the policies and practices of third party websites or businesses as to privacy or anything else, so if you choose to take part in any transaction or service relating to an affiliated website or business, please review all such business' or websites' policies.
Our Agents: We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you; for example, we may use a payment processing company to receive and process your credit card transactions for us. Unless we tell you differently, our agents do not have any right to use the Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
User Profiles and Submissions: Certain user profile information, including your name, location, and any video or image content that such user has uploaded to the Services, may be displayed to other users to facilitate user interaction within the Services or address your request for our services. Your account privacy settings may allow you to limit the other users who can see the Personal Information in your user profile and/or what information in your user profile is visible to others. Please remember that any content you upload to your public user profile, along with any Personal Information or content that you voluntarily disclose online in a manner other users can view (on discussion boards, in messages and chat areas, etc.) becomes publicly available, and can be collected and used by anyone. Your user name may also be displayed to other users if and when you send messages or comments or upload images or videos through the Services and other users can contact you through messages and comments.
Business Transfers: We may choose to buy or sell assets, and may share and/or transfer customer information in connection with the evaluation of and entry into such transactions. Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.
Protection of Company and Others: We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we believe is necessary to comply with law or court order; enforce or apply our Terms of Use https://www.anomali.com/terms-of-service and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Company, our employees, our users, or others.

Standard English & Scientific Names of Ohio Amphibians & ReptilesThe need for this checklist arose when, after the seventh edition of the Scientific and Standard English Names of Amphibians and Reptiles of North America north of Mexico, with comments on our understanding (Crother 2012), the aforementioned "names committee" began posting the "most up to date list" as an electronic spreadsheet (now referred to as the SSAR North American Species Names Database). This electronic resource is undated and "dynamic," attributes that are most unwelcome for a resource that is portrayed as the standard. (For a more in-depth critique of the "official names" list, see Pauly et al. 2009.)
This checklist provides the standard names of amphibians and reptiles (species and subspecies) that reside in Ohio as developed by a committee sanctioned by the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles, the Association of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, and the Herpetologists' League.
I began updating this list yearly in 2014 using the SSAR North American Species Names Database. In 2017, SSAR resumed publication of the list, releasing the 8th edition (the left-most column in the spreadsheet below). Whenever a scientific or standard English name has changed from the previous version (or when I last accessed the electronic version) I have indicated this by highlighting the cell in yellow.
Names are provided exactly as they appear in the respective sources. In some cases, I have indicated what I believe to be errors [sic]. The two columns furthest to the left are the most updated scientific and standard English names as they appeared
[Given the problems encountered with the on-line database, I'll no longer be updating this spreadsheet with anything other than the most recent printed publication (currently the 8th edition). A review of changes in the 8th edition finds that many of these are not reflected in the on-line version, which only adds to the confusion. It is my hope that the "names committee" will abandon this on-line database, or re-purpose it as a place to track down the latest in taxonomic publications, but recognize that in its current form, it is failing to provide "the standard."]
There are a variety of reasons why tracking these changes is important, and the arguably arbitrary nature of some changes can be frustrating. As just one example of the real-world importance of names, consider that most wildlife laws and regulations include the names of species; and, laws don't change as quickly as the systematist's latest findings!
This spreadsheet is also available for download as an Excel file (or create a copy in your own Google Drive).

When it comes to red carpet wardrobe malfunctions there are definitely worst things that could happen, but last week in Cannes Julianne Moore drew attention for, horror of horrors, a toe slip.
She appeared at the premiere of The Great Gatsby wearing Dior Couture and a pair of silver platform sandals and by the time shed finished posing for photographers both of her little toes had escaped the shoes and were poking out over the edge of the soles.
The actress appeared on US talk show 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' this weekend to bravely talk about what she has dubbed toe-mageddon. I she revealed that she has taken drastic measures to prevent it from ever happening again. I did what any reasonable person would do, she announced. I needed to prevent this from happening again, so I cut my toes off.
Watch her talk about the experience below:

Welcome back to the combined Cornish Heritage Farms and Faber-Castell Blog Hop. Today I have used Gelatos and markers directly on my stamp image.
I spritzed my stamp with water, and applied to water color paper. It went through the cuttlebug with a nestie, is backed with some fun paper, and a ribbon finishes it off.
Don't forget to check out Faber-Castell, and all their wonderful products!
Please join us with your CHF images (I used Large Daisies), and link your card HERE. Come and see what the team has to offer tomorrow for our last day.

Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has said he expects his company to start turning a profit by 2020. By then, the American electric car manufacturer should have Model 3 in full production.
SUV for this summer
He divulged the news during the Automotive News World Congress in Detroit and added that several million electric cars should be produced on an annual basis by 2025. Just to put that number in perspective: only 40,000 electric cars were built last year.
Musk has also said that Chinese sales were lower than expected, which he feels is because of a lack of charging stations in China's largest cities. That still pushes people towards conventional cars.
Tesla aims to launch its Model X this summer, which is an America-focused SUV model. Model 3 should be in full production by 2017 and this particular model, which will be cheaper, should help boost sales exponentially. The company is also considering its options to collaborate with dealerships, as it currently only sells directly to the customer.

Meet the Team
We Are Passionate About Our Mission
Humanity is faced with an urgent need to respond to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and resulting global warming, however, a decade+ after the Kyoto Protocol we are no closer to a solution. In fact, for the first time in human history the Earth's atmospheric composition has reached 400+ ppm CO2 belying the astounding ineffectiveness of actions thus far. Planet Alpha Corp. is responding to this urgent problem with new patented technology and large scale applications not previously implemented. Our diverse and talented team is dedicated to the mission of Planet Alpha: direct quantification of emission reduction across diverse project sites and reduction of atmospheric GHG's. We are working to establish sustainable forest ecosystems for future generations.
