It's my favorite time of the month: unboxing Beauty Box subscriptions!!! If you are unfamiliar with these boxes they are $10 each month. I love sharing these reviews with everyone! I hope you enjoy reading them 🙂 Let's jump right in!
Sephora Play
Sephora Eye Makeup Remover This is so oily. I used this on my eyes to remove mascara and immediately regretted it. There was this layer of film like substance left around my eyes after trying this out. This is definitely not my type of skin product. I much prefer my Simple MiCellar Wipes to remove makeup. I will say this does contain vitamins which help your lashes grow, so if you don't mind the texture it might be a good product for you.
Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream
This is hydrating, for sure! I love the way my skin felt after applying this. Super smooth, creamy and not oily at all. I don't think this is something I would repurchase, because the price tag is a little nuts, coming in at $52. But if you don't mind spending a little extra for skin care, this is a really nice product.
Makeup Forever Aqua XL Eyeliner &Philosophy Made Simple 3 in 1 Cleanser
I grouped these two together because I haven't used either of these products. I have a ton of stick eyeliners and face washes so I'll save these for a giveaway. Good brands, not a bad products at all.
This product I have used in the past. I don't use primers daily as I prefer moisturizer but I do remember liking this in the past…. however, I am so stuck on the Urban Decay Deslick Complexion Primer that I probably won't dig into this any time soon. (Check out my previous blog post for more on the Urban Decay Primers!)
This cosmetic bag is the cutest thing Ive ever freaking seen. Definitely up my alley, since Im a huge movie buff. I do think they were going for a Coachella vibe, being that everything is about festivals this time of year. The material is soft, almost rubber-y. It vibrant and cutesy, so perfect for summer!
Lexie Beauty Luxie Dreamcatcher Orecision Foundation BrushBrushThis is the PERFECT size/shape. I've been using this to set my under-eye concealer and couldn't be happier. I love getting brushes in my bags! This is listed on luxiebeauty.com for $23. Thats an amazing deal being that the entire Ipsy bag was only $10!
Elizabeth Show Me Your Glow Shimmer Shadow and Highlight
These samples are so tiny! Not complaining, just mentioning its not an ample amount of product. I haven't used this, although the color is gorgeous. I just have a ton of highlights so I figured I would save this for a give away.
EM Cosmetics Illustrative Eyeliner Brush Tip
No thank you, not my time of eyeliner. I am not easy to please with eyeliners, at all. I've been so stuck on Almay's Liquid Eyeliner, nothing compares to how matte and bold it is. One thing I do not play around with in my eyeliners, I need the darkest wings ever! This is $15 on EMcosmetics.com, but go to CVS instead and try Almay, its only $9 and last all day.
Theorie Marula Oil Transforming Hair Serum
Sounds fancy. Haven't used this yet, but I think Ill give a whirl. Doesn't seem to be unreasonably priced, I found this on walmart.com for $24.80.
PS Cosmeceuticals Infused Nail Lacquer in Southern Sand
This is a very pretty nude color. I haven't used it yet, but I definitely will! I have a huge nail polish collection, so this will go right in with the rest and hopefully be used soon.
Winner: The winner this month is…… IPSY!!!! This Ipsy bag had 3 full sized products. The bag and brush are what I'm most excited about. Good job Ipsy, you're killing it lately!
Sorry I didn't list all the pricing this month, is that something you want to see? I made sure to included in the products I thought were great deals. What did you guys and gals get in your subscription box this month? Tell me in the comments, I'm so curious!
Thanks for reading. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram (@bewitchingmakeup) and my blog WordPress.bewitchingmakeup.com

The original travel ban, which triggered widespread chaos and protests at airports when first implemented, was rescinded after the state of Washington received a nationwide federal court order blocking further enforcement of the policy.
Nonetheless fairly unknown to many travelers, preferring the sunny beaches of Thailand's southern islands, Chiang Mai has a lot to supply and it appears to draw people who prefer to avoid the excessive finish tourism of Southern Thailand, along with many solo travelers on their private journey of discovery. CSA is a company that can weigh out the risks of the insurance and balance it with the price of the insurance.
Travel works best if used alongside online best practices to maximize your net presence. Such discounts will be availed whereas flight bookings are performed through calling up the travel managers of Skylux Travel. For travel agency specifically, an online B2B travel portal has grow to be very vital because it gets built-in & distributes content to an enormous network of global travel businesses.
To be an online travel agent facilitates you making arrangements for all of the traveling requirements of your prospects without bodily getting your skates on.

I dread the broad eyes, clean stares and infinite questions that I encounter when I first inform somebody that I'm traveling with out my husband.

The Cartier Juste un Clou Bracelets are particularly trendy right now, but there isn???t any particular style in favor. The long history of the bracelet is remembered, however, and one popular look gives a modern slant to an historical theme. Designs that are intricate and bring in a feeling of culture, like the Tribal Gold replica Cartier bracelet from Finders Keepers Jewelry are a particular trend nowadays. Look there for another popular favorite; Cartier Juste un Clou Bracelet with geometric shapes are hot today, and so are Christian Cartier Juste un Clou Bracelet, like the gold crosses that adorn the ends of the Gold replica Cartier??Bracelet
Good girl, bad girl, rich girl, poor girl, movie star, soccer mom. Cartier Juste un Clou Bracelet are in fashion. Wear them with anything, pair them with anything. Try to keep the rest of the jewelry to a minimum and make the cuff your statement piece, but if you don???t, the bracelet will still look fantastic. The only rule is, don???t wear one on each wrist. If you do, your cuffs will start to look like shackles!

Northstar® Candle Lantern is rated out of 5 by 19.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Buckeye from Very well made! Primary use is for emergency lighting..... with battery lighting that can sit for months and months, you should store the lights without the batteries installed to prevent damage from leaky batteries. With the Northstar candle lantern and it's Coleman replacement candles I can store them for years and years without any problems. I have tested the lantern for 2 to 3 hrs and their is no soot in the chimney, or wax drips inside the lantern on a level surface. The top of the lantern is the only hot place, the rest of the lantern remains cool. The Northstar is compact and lightweight with a wide base, and would be great for camping trips.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MidnightManiac from Power went out the day I gave it to my daughter This was a gift to my daughter. Thought it would be a nice gift for her and her husband to use outside on their patio. The day I gave it to her, that evening the power was out at their home for about an hour, after dark. She grabbed the lantern, took it out of the packaging and lit it up. It worked perfect until the power came back on. What timing!!!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Peter from Much as I expected Basically a small campground accent piece that gives off just enough light to act as a nightlight. Arrived with the included candle melted to the side. Otherwise I'm happy. Need something to Mark your tent when returning from the bathroom after the moon has set? This is your ticket I would recommend, but don't get your expectations to high.

Today: John Stull, interim executive director, Northfield Area Chamber of Commerce (Estenson).
Birthdays: Missy Arens (1/24)
Next Week: Beth Kallestad, Classification
Last Week:
Gunho Park describes his hometown of Seoul, South Korea as "nice, but busy," charitable for a city of 11 million people. His parents migrated to the metropolitan center of the country from a southern province. His father works for the Seoul subway system and his mother is a homemaker. Gunho has one younger sister.
His high school is a 50-minute subway ride, one way, so he stays in a dormitory. He said his studies are demanding. Even the non-residential students stay at school until 9 p.m. each night for study. The goal is to be admitted to a good college.
Gunho said he is a better soccer fan than soccer player. He is known to his soccer teammates as the "homerun king." He has a tendency to kick the ball over the crossbar. He's played the piano since he was seven, and we have all benefited from this training and dynamic musical style.
South Korea has gone through a great transformation in the last 40 years, he said. His grandparents had a difficult time finding enough to eat. His parents did not grow up with many material comforts. Gunho's life has been very different.
Travel is not new to Gunho, but he always dreamed of immersing himself in a different culture. The Rotary Exchange Program has allowed him to do that. He was impressed by our verdant landscape and his learned a lot about cultures beyond ours from his time with our other exchange students.
Mini Classification:
These mini-classifications are becoming almost therapeutic. In what bordered on a personal confession, Judy Westcott-Brown boldly stated that she is afraid of ghosts and considers herself a closet Italian.
She grew up in Bloomington, Minn., attended Coe College and then graduated from the University of Minnesota with a BA in English and group work. She raised two boys and then worked in the nonprofit sector — a YWCA and hospital — in the areas of volunteer recruitment and training and development. She moved to Cray Research for 10 years before going out on her own in 1989. Since then she has worked with small businesses on organizational development issues.
Her hyphenated last name was a second choice, when on the steps of the Ramsey County Courthouse just minutes before they were to be married, her husband balked at Judy's suggestion of Wescotti. She thought it had an Italian ring.
Good Neighbor Award: Margit Johnson, a longtime Northfield community-builder, received the Rotary Service Above Self Good Neighbor Award. Over the years, Margit has contributed to local efforts to improve literacy, sustainability and civic engagement. Among her many community activities, Margit is a long-time member of the Northfield League of Women Voters, a member of the Friends of the Library, a member of WINGS, a member of the Northfield Roundtable, and a past member of the Northfield Planning Commission. Margit received an honorary Paul Harris Fellowship and a stipend to help her continue her work in the Northfield community.

01 Dec Coding Standards: What Are CPT Codes, ICD Codes, LOINC Codes, and SNOMED CT Codes?
Everyone encounters medical coding standards at some point. This is true for medical professionals, medical billers, and patients. Whether you are a physician or a patient, understanding the answer to such questions as "What are CPT codes?" and "How do they differ from ICD codes?" is vital to ensure proper health care. Here's everything there is to know about medical coding standards.
ICD Codes: International Classification of Disease
The International Classification of Disease (ICD) is a database of recorded diagnoses used across medical practices. The World Health Organization (WHO) founded, monitors, and owns this database. The database uses codes to identify symptoms, causes of death, and diagnoses. Medical professionals across the U.S. use the same codes to identify and interpret medical records.
CPT Coding: Current Procedural Terminology
The American Medical Association (AMA) maintains and owns the CPT code database. This database contains all the codes used for medical procedures. Just like the ICD database, this database allows medical professionals across the U.S. to communicate with each other and the medical records. Because of the similarities between ICD codes and CPT codes, many confuse the two. CPT codes identify the services a medical professional provides, and ICD codes identify the diagnosis of a patient. Insurance providers use CPT codes to determine how many medical professionals get paid for their care.
CPT 99499 is an example of a CPT code. This code falls under "other evaluations and management services." With this code in a medical record, the insurance provider understands what services a patient received and what kind of payment the medical professional who provided the car should receive.
CPT codes consist of five characters, which can be numeric or alphanumeric. With ICD codes, each character in the code corresponds to something specific. This is not true of CPT codes. Instead, it is the entire code (all five characters combined) that identify what the code means. CPT codes within the database are flexible, so they can change over time.
LOINC: Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes
Regenstrief Institute created LOINC codes back in 1994 as a universal code database for clinical and laboratory observation. This database made transferring health records across different systems a lot easier. These codes identify patient test observations. This type of code is more specific than CPT codes. For example, a CPT code can include several LOINC codes. Statistically, this type of coding database is not as common as CPT and ICD codes.
The purpose of medical codes, such as CPT and ICD, is to organize medical records and keep information concise. The codes offer a uniformity that is necessary to keep medical practices running smoothly. Medical practice owners should take the time to train and retrain staff members to use codes properly to ensure the smooth operation of the practice. Not using the codes properly can not only create a medical billing error but also put the life of a patient at risk.

"Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon, whose all over the Web today because of the currently trending video where "The Voice" judge/country superstar/country boy Blake Shelton tries to teach him the basics of cow milking, is no stranger to South Florida. In 2002, he was a pop-in commentator at the Chris Evert Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic in Delray Beach. And later, he popped in to an interview I was doing with "The Nanny" star and cancer advocate Fran Drescher, up in the VIP area (I saw Alan Thicke! Jon Lovitz walked by and looked at me weird!) For a few moments, we wound up sort of being Fran's wingman (wingmen?)
Here's what happened – Fallon had been in town to play some shows with his band, and was walking around in the VIP section with his bass player, whose name I never got. In the middle of the conversation, Drescher pointed the guy out as cute. As they walked by the table, she flashed a wide smile and said hello, and the guy, because Fran Drescher is awesome, smiled back and stopped to chat. This left Jimmy Fallon and I in an awkward but familiar position – being suddenly left standing without anyone to talk to when you friends starts chatting up someone at a bar, leaving you no choice but to talk to his friend.
Fortunately, Jimmy Fallon is super gracious, and I am a reporter, so I got an impromptu interview with him about his music, about how he wound up at the tournament (I think someone just called him and said famous people were doing stuff nearby and he should go) and something something Florida. It was very brief and very pleasant, and I got to confirm that someone who always seemed cool actually was. It sucks when they're not.

EDD Blog Ride the Lightning points out that the copy machine is a favorite, and usually overlooked, source of data:
Most of the law firms we see haven't a clue that their digital copier (typically configured as a network printer too) may contain recoverable data. The majority of currently available digital copiers contain a hard drive. It is prudent to buy or lease a digital copier that can perform a secure wipe, thereby ensuring confidentiality. Our own copier is set to do a secure wipe after each job, probably a good practice for most lawyers to implement.
Probably a good practice for most businesses to implement, too.
They also link to a funny advertisement featuring a photocopier and an office worker discovered in, shall we say, a compromising position. Good stuff.

If you're looking for a great way to kick off the holiday season, think about visiting the 40th Annual Festival of Trees at the Pearl S. Buck House. The event showcases beautiful trees and vignettes designed by Bucks County's best artists, decorators, and by local community groups to convey the spirit of Pearl S. Buck's legacy as an author, humanitarian, and activist. Visitors have the opportunity to vote for their favorite display.
Ivy Hill Therapeutic Equestrian Center is one of the organizations invited to participate in decorating a room in the house. This year, Ivy Hill's display is set in Ms. Buck's study and the theme of the room is "diversity". The room is where many of Ms. Buck's famed writings took form.
In her memoir, "The Child Who Never Grew", Pearl addressed the trials of raising a special needs daughter during an era of misinformation and prejudice. She stated, "It was my child who taught me to understand so clearly that all people are equal in their humanity and that all have the same human rights." In the same memoir, she uses the phrase "Hope brings comfort".
At Ivy Hill, we often use the phrase "Horses + Love = Hope". As our theme this year was to honor diversity, the message of hope was evident throughout our design. Quotes from Ms. Buck's writings, which speak to diversity, were added to ornaments on the tree and flags of various countries remind us of the many cultures we find worldwide.
A special connection for Ivy Hill and Pearl Buck's family is their shared love of horses. This is featured in our display through the story of one of our riders, Lucy. She is part of the therapeutic equestrian program at Ivy Hill and was adopted through Pearl S. Buck International.
Until the age of 42, Pearl Buck lived in China and when she returned to America, much of her time was spent writing about the Chinese and Asian cultures and promoting the rights of women and minorities. She became particularly well known for her efforts on behalf of Asian and mixed-race adoption.

Dear Reader,
Being a student and an editor of a newspaper is weirdly cool.
I'm the editor of The Wheaton Record, Wheaton College's campus newspaper, and I'm also a political science/journalism student. So why is it weird? It's weird because you're learning about journalism in class for a few hours, and then you go to the office and DO journalism. You learn about bureaucracy in class, and then an hour later you're writing about the school administration.
I tell the editors on staff: It's the closest you can get to an actual job without working part time in college. You make your own decisions, you manage your own workforce, you deal and argue with humans — and you end up with a beautiful product at the end of each week.
And, if we're being honest, some of the editors on staff are working more than 30 hours a week. It's basically a job.
So being a student-editor is weird, but it also gives you some real world experience that you won't find anywhere else.

After watching Clothes To Die For on BBC Two this week and interviewing the documentary's director Zara Hayes about the programme, CSF hosted a Tweetchat on the issues raised by the film and the wider problems within the fashion industry. @sustfash, @DilysWilliams and @LCF London discussed trust, politics, values, education, change, and even Marx with a variety of participants.
The documentary made us think about the very human side of fashion production – hearing the voices of makers was powerful and moving yet, unfortunately these important voices are all too often drowned out in the rush of consumption. We wondered how hearing these voices might have impacted those watching.
#ClothesToDieFor really highlighted the human aspect of fashion supply chains and their impact – garment workers are like me and you.

Giving a voice to the survivors of Rana Plaza was something that the director Zara Hayes was keen to do.
@dilyswilliams @BBCTwo I think it's important to open up a form of communication between labour and consumers if possible
— Zara Hayes (@zarhayes) July 22, 2014
We were also interested in exploring ideas around value, it was clear from the programme that the workers respected and valued their jobs and the garments that they made. Just like the young women on the programme we can all remember spending our first pay packet on a much coveted item – how then do consumers value these same garments once they own them? (This is something that the Local Wisdom project explores in more detail).
Value is more than the money something costs to buy, real pride goes into the work, does the system respect these values? #ClothesToDieFor

Find the Best Accommodation Deals
Many travellers are searching for What Khao Lak Like, Average people take average vacations and you do not seem to be the type of person who wants an average vacation. If you wanted an average vacation, you would not Google things to do in Khao Lak. Khao Lak is a vacation spot for people who love adventure, who love excitement, who love luxury and who love the great outdoors. If this describes the kind of person you are, the Khao Lak is the perfect city for you. If you are a boring person who wants to do the same routine things that you've done every vacation, then this is not the city for you. Only adventurers need apply. You can find What Khao Lak Like travel information.
Looking for What Khao Lak Like. mo chit bus terminal One Wan Resort Sarabu Guest House mo chit bus terminal Dewa Phuket Hotel Paanpuanplace Resort
What Khao Lak Like, The thing in regards to a great city and just what it gives you being a vacationer is it permits you to truly name your adventure. By naming your adventure we imply that there are plenty of activities, a range of experiences available that you can create their ideal visit to the city. Not everybody wants the same whenever they continue vacation. We all have different vacation styles like everybody has different personalities. There is no wrong approach to vacation and there's no-one-size-fits-all experience. If you name your adventure you choose the sort of vacation that matches your personality which even taps in the aspirational aspects of who you need to be. Thus it isn't just about who you come to vacation as but that you could become while you're on a break, and how that transforms your life. A holiday are often very transformative and may leave an impression upon you for the remainder of your daily life. For a lot of us, this is the reason we travel. We travel to become new, to refresh us, to get rid of the anxiety in our daily lives, to acquire out in the world and get physical, to discover things that we cannot see within our local environment.
So a vacation represents a variety of things to a number of sets of people. Whenever you come to a town such as this one there's no shortage of things you can do. You'll find that you can do very cultural such things as go to a museum intake in the arts, you are able to go head to the beach if you wish to, you are able to rent a scooter and travel around the city and all in to the backward places at the same time, you can participate in several types of sports, you will discover all kinds of outdoor activities to accomplish. You can even visit a spy and relax every single day that you will be here. Regardless of what you're looking for in a vacation there are actually it inside the city.
So the purpose of an article such as this really should not be to simply lay out a long list of things or places you need to go. Instead you should give attention to what you're truly seeking. I notice you within all honesty that the standard places of interest you will discover, all the type of luxury travel things that you could search for you will find, you can find spots, you'll find Temple, you'll find ways to be spiritual, you'll find methods to exercise outside and ingest outside air, that can be done water-based activities, it is possible to swing coming from a tree, that you can do just about anything that you would like to do with a vacation here. And then we don't care about giving you a long list of activities to do because after you get here you are going to determine the sort of vacation you want to get. You find all the statues and all the things that you would like to take a picture before the show to your friends and relations. But you also find more. You might wind up finding who you really are and you might end up with a truly transformative experience but it's all up to you to have that and to find out what it truly way to you. In order to us a vacation this is simply not about jumping on a plane and go to somewhere distinct from where you're from it is around more than this. It is actually about carry it each of the spirit in the traveler. You will find a saying that you could travel without having to be well traveled. And you will find a major distinction between the two. There's something to mention about visiting a area in using a superficial experience versus going to area in becoming truly immersed in a different culture. If there's anything that we could direct you to do while on vacation that may be to adopt and everything and to become one with all the environment. Which is how there is the ultimate time on a vacation in a town such as this one.
So name your adventure and be it. What Khao Lak Like

Tomorrow will be our two year wedding anniversary. I think it's pretty safe to say, like many infertiles, our first couple of years of marriage haven't exactly worked out the way we thought they would. We had about 6 months of wedded bliss before we started TTC, and it's been a reproductive roller coaster ever since then. But on the plus side, we're still talking to each other and no one has filed for a restraining order just yet.
This weekend we went for an early anniversary dinner at one of my favourite restaurants. If you're ever in Toronto and looking for a recommendation, you should definitely try to get a reservation at Ruby Watchco. It's run by former Food Network celebrity chef Lynn Crawford, and the concept is that they source local, seasonal ingredients to make a different set four-course menu every night. They do of course make allowances for food allergies and legitimate dietary restrictions, but otherwise there's no choice and what's on the menu for that day is what you get. Everything I've ever had there has been fantastic, and at $50 for four courses cooked by a celebrity chef (who is actually there every night, working the kitchen and cleaning your table like a regular joe), it's a pretty sweet deal.
The first time we went there for dinner last year, M demonstrated both why I married him and why I can't take him anywhere nice. I had filled him in on the concept for the restaurant ahead of time, so he knew damn well there was no choice involved. That didn't stop him from starting, a couple of days before our reservation, from talking about how much he was looking forward to going out because he had a hankering for chicken fingers. This from a man who without fail orders either steak or ribs no matter where we go. I wryly reminded him (several times) that chicken fingers were unlikely to be what Chef Crawford would be cooking for us that evening.
The night of the actual dinner, the real comedy routine began. First, there was his overstated childlike anticipation of being able to order chicken fingers no matter what I said to the contrary.
M: I can't wait to order me some chicken fingers!
Me: Yeah, well, like I said, you can't order there.
M: I've had a real craving for chicken fingers all week.
Me: That's unfortunate, because like I told you, we won't be having chicken fing...
M: They're gonna be the best chicken fingers ever!!
Then, there was his feigned disappointment when we arrived at the restaurant and the evening's menu inevitably did not include chicken fingers. This quickly degenerated into overly dramatic belligerence at the fact that he couldn't order any Jesus chicken fingers.
M: What?? This place calls itself a restaurant?? They don't even have chicken fingers on the menu!!
Me: No? Shocker. Well, too bad.
M: This is outrageous! I demand to speak to the manager! I want to see Ruby Watchco! Someone bring me Ruby!
Me: You mean Chef Crawford?
M: No, I mean Ruby Watchco, the owner! The one the restaurant is named after. I want to talk to her. Where is she? Where's Ruby?
Me: There's no Ruby. And there's no fucking chicken fingers!
The best part was when, at some point during his diatribe, Lynn Crawford actually ended up coming out into the main dining area to put some clean glasses onto a waiter's station less than three feet from us. I was quite enjoying his performance and was tempted to let him keep going, but eventually shushed him lest she overhear and wind up thinking that we actually were some pair of unsophisticated chicken-finger-demanding rubes as opposed to the sophisticated foodies I like to pretend we are. Of course as soon as I told him where I wanted to go for our anniversary dinner this year, the everloving chicken finger bullshit started again. Honestly, I think I would have been disappointed if it hadn't.
I play the part of the exasperated wife pretty well, but the reality is that his shenanigans make life worth living and I couldn't imagine things any other way. While I still hope at some point we can welcome a child into our life, I know that even if we can't, we'll be OK. As long as there's chicken fingers.

Rolling You Own Drum Sounds Part 4: Kicking it With Sine Waves
There's certainly no shortage of great drum sample libraries on the market today. Even a quick search of The Google will turn up tons of free ones. But there really is nothing like making your own. For one thing, it's uniquely yours and there's something cool about knowing there aren't 10,000 other musicians using the same sound. But even better, it lets you custom tailor and tune the sound to fit specifically into the song you're working on. Kick drums are probably the easiest type of sound to make, so that's what we'll look at today. I'm going to be using Sonic Charge's excellent MicroTonic, but you can do this on any synth that offers a sine wave and the ability to modulate pitch with an envelope (which these days should be most of them...), the process will just be a little different.
1. Fire up MicroTonic and go ahead and program a note trigger in the sequencer every fourth note. Hit 'play' on the sequencer. I find it's helpful to have a little sequence playing a sound while I'm programming it. What you'll hear right now is a sort of noisey beep. (If you're on a different synth, just make sure you have only one oscillator sounding, and that it's playing a sine wave).
2. We won't need the noise portion for our kick drum, so go ahead and slide the MIX slider all the way to the left towards OSC. This ensures we're just hearing the oscillator and none of the noise we don't need.
3. Now you should hear a sort of boring beep sound. The first thing we need to do is to get the sine wave in the right frequency range. One of the nice things about MicroTonic is that you can set this by Hz. This can be useful when building an arrangement because you can make sure your kick lives in a frequency range that won't interfere with your bass sound. For purposes of this excercise, let's set the OSC FREQ slider to about 60Hz for some nice sub frequencies. (If you're using another synth, simply set the octave tuning of the oscillator to a low octave).
4. We still have a boring beep sound, it's just lower now. That's where modulation comes in. Essentially, we're going to sweep the pitch of the sine wave to simulate the effect of a kick drum being struck. This is what will take us from boring beep, to percussive and deep. Right below the OSC FREQ slider, you'll see two knobs. One labelled AMOUNT and one labelled RATE. Let's play with amount first, since you won't hear any effect without it. Slowly rotate the AMOUNT knob to the right (towards the plus sign). As you do so, you'll notice a bit of a percussive 'snap' being added to the sound. Taken all the way to the right and you'll enter the territory of Kraftwerkian laser zaps. For now, though, let's set it just under half of the way to the right. (If you're using another synth, assign an envelope to modulate the pitch of your sine wave oscillator. The attack, sustain, and releases values should be set to zero, and the decay should be set long enough that you have the snap I'm talking about. Make sure your amplitude envelope is set similarly, although you might want to set the decay slightly longer on it. If your synth allows you to select a modulation level, that is precisely what the AMOUNT knob does in MicroTonic).
5. So if AMOUNT sets the frequency range between the start and stop of the pitch sweep, RATE simply determines how long it takes to sweep between those two values. For right now, we're going to leave this right in the middle. But play around with it and see what effects you can get from changing it. Higher values give more artificial, 'synth kiss' type sounds, and towards the lower end, you can emulate the famous 808 kick sound or big jungle sub drops.
6. As it is now, our kick drum lacks a little power, so we're going to let it boom a bit more. We do this by upping the DECAY level of the oscillator envelope. Let's set it to about 800 ms. If you've done everything right, you should have something not unlike the famous Roland TR-909 kick drum. If not, keep playing with the RATE and AMOUNT until you do. (On another synth, you can increase the length of the kick sound by adjusting the decay level of the amplitude envelope).
That's just one example. Playing with just this handful of parameters can yield everything from chirpy psytrance kicks to thippy Kraftwerk pings to thunderous sub drops. And that's just the start of your drum sound. Mess around with EQ settings, distort it, compress it... the sky's the limit. Go nuts and layer sound, and try using waveforms besides just the sine for weirder, synthier sounds. It quickly becomes very addictive. In the meantime, here are a couple of other good articles/tutorials on synthesizing your own kick drums you might enjoy:

The Mother of All Kick Drum Threads on the Israeli Trance Forum

I found it ironic that Magnus made that plugin and worked on stuff for Reason which is kinda anti-VST these days... but!
I found that Infected Mushroom tutorial months ago when I got huge into Psytrance, and gained a lot of insight there. I just prefer the synth way so I use an R3.
If your drum machine/sampler/loop maker whatever you use allows you to control the attack and decay then you may want to leave all your kicks 'long' on purpose. You can actually circumvent the need for a lot of dynamic compression on some kicks since this is effectively doing the same thing and easier to fine tune control. It also allows you to take kick drums that might not sound right at first, become more 'perfect'.
A lot to be said for layering kicks then compressing them together like this as well

N° 16–1993: Environment, Telecommunications and Crewed Spaceflight
26 March 1993
ESA Council takes positive decisions
The European Space Agency's Council, meeting in Paris on 24 and 25 March 1993, unanimously approved a Resolution that will allow the start-up of programmes decided on by the Council meeting at ministerial level at Granada in November 1992. These are the environmental programme, with the Envisat missions (for observation of the Earth and its environment) and Metop missions (in meteorology and climatology) and the telecommunications programme, which includes the data relay and technology mission (DRTM); this has two elements 1/2 the Artemis technology mission and the DRS data relay system, together with work on the Hermes programme.
Where crewed space stations are concerned, it was agreed to look again at the content of these programmes between now and the end of the year, so as to adapt if necessary to what happens with the international space station Freedom.
Additional contract authority was however unblocked, to safeguard the work needed for continuing, in 1993, the programmes for the Columbus attached laboratory, the polar platform and the Mir flights that are part of the precursor flights.
The participating States were asked to confirm their level of contribution to the various programmes, by 20 June this year. Following the meeting, ESA's Director General Jean-Marie Luton said he was optimistic about the future of the European space programmes: The ESA member countries have clearly shown their will to carry on with the development of ambitious programmes, while taking account of the political changes going on in Europe and round the world", he said.

So you have received your pink enlistment letter, the one that you have been dreading for the past few months. It's going to be 2 years of hell, where they claim that you will emerge stronger.
But first, you need to survive BMT. It's time for your role in "Ah Boys to Men", which actually accurately describes your ill-fated life.
I'm sure, as kiasu Singaporeans, you would have asked your seniors on how the training is like, how the food tastes, and more importantly, what you need to bring.
I can't say too much about personal essentials, but here are some things that you, as a 3G soldier-to-be, must not forget.
With effect from September 2014, BMTC has allowed all smartphones with camera. However, no photos are to be taken in all SAF premises, and phones are subjected to spot checks (no explicit images please).
Contrary to popular belief, there is no longer any screen size limitation. That said, think of the consequences before you bring in a tablet and claim that you make calls with it.
For those who are too poor to afford the 128GB iPhone 6S, MicroSD cards are also allowed provided they are installed in your phones and not removed. Oh wait, the iPhone has no MicroSD slot.
Finally, I would recommend that you do not bring a phone that is too expensive, since they would likely be spoilt more easily or even stolen (in rare cases).
Portable Chargers
For safety reasons, most, if not all, companies prohibit the usage of wall chargers. Only portable power banks are allowed. Considering that your first confinement period can last up to 3 weeks (2 weekends), we would definitely recommend that you obtain a charger that can charge your phone about 3-5 times. Kiasu Singaporeans can bring more than one Powerbank. Bringing additional power may save the lives of your bunkmates and you'll become the star of your company.
For a quick and cheap deal, head over to XiaoMi Singapore's website and pick up a 16000 mAh powerbank, and another for your friends. (Now, can we get some commission from the recommendation?)
On a side note, USB cables are allowed for charging.
Mobile Plan
We know. You will miss your girlfriend, your friends and your family. You will want to snapchat with them, whatsapp them, and call them. So you need a one-size-fit-all plan.
One option, if you bought your own phone, is to consider the SIM only plans from the local telcos. Coming in as low as $20 for 3GB of data + 2GB Singtel WiFi, or $30 for 5GB of pure data + 300 mins calls + 1000 SMS/MMS, these plans are more than sufficient for the occasional user.
NSFs also get additional 1GB data, unlimited SMS/MMS and free campus / camp calls, but that is if you sign up for a regular plan that I would forsee setting you back by at least $40 for the light user.
If you are a Starhub user, the Youth Perk gives you extra 2GB of data for the 4G 3 plan and 3GB of extra data for the 4G 4 plan which gives you a total of 4GB and 6GB of mobile data respectively.
Finally, you can choose to go the Easy Mobile route, and by relying on WhatsApp for both calls and texts, you can end up saving a lot of "units" in exchange for data.
One more thing: Snapchat is not allowed, because no photos are to be taken in camp. Oops.
If you would like some private time to relax in army, why not pop a pair of earphones and listen to some music? We would recommend the portable earbuds as compared to a pair of audiophile headphones, for obvious reasons.
While a pair of Apple Earpods or the Samsung counterpart would work well enough, if you are an audiophile, you might consider the Sennheiser CX 300 II.
In case you are waiting for me to recommend a gold plated Apple Watch, no. A Casio F-91W is the one you should head for, with its always-on display, smart features like an alarm clock and a stopwatch, as well as an LED back light. It is also water resistant and dust proof. Most importantly, if you ever manage to break it, it wouldn't be as painful as breaking your Apple Watch.
Lifestyle devices
All other lifestyle devices (eg Amazon Kindle) are not allowed unless its screen size is less than 4.3 inches. Well, I guess PSP is fine. But do you really have the energy to continue playing after a tough training? I doubt so.
Here's wishing you all the best in protecting the nation with your life.
ORD loh!

I'm new to Python and am presumably making a basic error, but this has had me occupied all afternoon and evening trying to google an answer without success. Please help
I've copied a simple program from the web to put a window up on the screen. The first line is "Import pygtk". When I run it it returns "Import Error: No module named pygtk".
I've also tried this interactively in LXTerminal - same result. And the same thing happens with "Import gtk".
Do I need to do something first to install these modules ? I thought it was part of the standard Python install....?
Thanks for any help.

When award-winning Canadian writer Colleen Murphy's Pig Girl premiered at Theatre Network in Alberta, Canada, in November 2013, it sparked a huge reaction. Some people walked out, others were offended by what they saw as the title's derogatory aboriginal connotations and others accused it of exploiting among the most horrific murders in recent Canadian history.
In Pig Girl, a killer holds a dying woman captive in a secluded barn and tortures her. On either side are the dying woman's sister and a police officer. Their scenes span nine years as the sister grapples with a police force that is agonizingly slow to investigate the disappearance of marginalized sex workers.
Murphy's play – debuting in the UK as part of the Finborough Theatre's Winter Season of 20 Premieres – is inspired by murders committed by Robert Pickton, a pig farmer from British Columbia. In December 2007, he was sentenced to life in prison for killing six women, although it is likely that he murdered many more from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
Shortly before Pig Girl opened at the Finborough, I spoke with director Helen Donnelly about tackling such a challenging play – her belief in its importance, the power of Murphy's writing in giving a victim her voice back and why she feels it is a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
Pig Girl arrives heralded by much controversy. How aware of this were you and has it affected your approach?
Initially, because it was so controversial in Canada, for a number of reasons – because of the casting of the Dying Woman, because it was really close to the bone – I was just really aware of not trying to replicate anything of the serial killer's story that wasn't in the text. So although I did a lot of research into him, I tried not to feed that into the play. Colleen and I actually talked about maybe not even setting it in Canada, not having Canadian accents. But there's so much reference to the geography of Vancouver and the surrounding area, we thought it would be really confusing. I think I've just tried to distance the actual history, I guess, from the text itself.
Has the sheer act of bringing it overseas helped in that sense?
Yes, exactly. I had never heard of this serial killer or even that Vancouver Downtown Eastside existed. And neither had the majority of actors who came in to audition. I think this will be more of an education for audiences over here.
Shorn of the immediate historical recognition, then, what was your connection to the text? Why did you want to direct it?
I'd read two of Colleen's plays before, which were also staged at the Finborough, and absolutely loved them. Her writing is just so poetic and each of her plays is entirely different. I could set them all out before you and you'd think they'd each come from a different writer. Each has its own, distinctive style. So when I heard there was a new one, I had to read it. And I just like dark stuff. I remember seeing the synopsis about the DNA of 26 women being found at a pig farm in Vancouver and just going, 'Whoa, OK.' It's dark but also beautiful.
When I read it, what really drew me in was the character of the Dying Woman. We see so many images of women just being victimised or sexualised, and this is a woman who is working as a prostitute and is a drug user. But Colleen has written a very clever woman. Apart from the references to drugs, her speech isn't slurred. She has a routine, she has friends. She's really intelligent and articulate. OK, we have an image of a woman on stage with her hands bound, in a mini-skirt and one heel on. But she totally defies the stereotypical associations usually made with that image. She's feisty, she's brave and she doesn't shut up. That's initially what drew me to the play.
Some people also took offence at the title, didn't they? What was your take on that?
That really surprised me, because – to me – when I first heard 'Pig Girl', I thought, well, the killer is a pig farmer. And he butchers girls in the same way as pigs. It never occurred to me until I started reading up on the controversy that it was also a comment on race and on women. To me, it's always been about how this killer views women.
It's clearly a very harrowing play. As a director, how do you avoid turning the violent treatment of the Dying Woman on stage into a different kind of pornography?
It's about finding the line. OK, you can't avoid the physical parts of the script. But I think a lot of our violence isn't overtly physical; it's a lot more psychological. There are other, subtle ways in which the killer torments the Dying Woman than just beating her around the stage. You don't want it to be a gore fest. We have no blood. The fact that she dies at the end shouldn't be a Titus Andronicus moment. The fact is that she lives on in her spirit.
Nevertheless, the play encourages audiences to observe the Dying Woman throughout her torment, whether that is psychological or physical. How does this cease to be exploitative?
I wouldn't use the word 'exploitation'. Yes, she is on stage for 75 minutes and we do watch her torture. But speaking as someone watching it, I feel that it's less that she's being exploited and more that I'm bearing witness to someone's suffering.
So, do you see the play as presenting – quite deliberately – horrors from which we, as a society, too often turn away?
We either turn our heads away or we just get so used to hearing about horrible things happen that it just doesn't seize us. Here, you can't turn away. And where there is that engagement is people walking out, as happened in Canada, people being unable to watch what's happening before them or people bearing witness. People will have a reaction.
'To bear witness' in what sense?
I think, with the Dying Woman, I'd like to make people think twice about women who are drug users, or prostitutes, who live on the margin of society. To make them bear witness to one woman's struggle and that one woman is an individual. She is a daughter and a sister.
The killer, rather than the victim, is often the focus in TV, film and on stage, aren't they?
Yes, they are; but this really is the Dying Woman's story. It's evident in the text. Once she's on the hook, the killer becomes comfortable. But she doesn't die. This is a man who slaughters women like he slaughters pigs, but she's still talking. It flips over, then, and becomes totally her story. In the second half of the play, the killer is actually very quiet. He almost fades into the background.
And the socially peripheral woman becomes centre stage?
Yes, and we've reflected that in the production design. The play is a lot more stylised than I had imagined, so we've made the barn the central area, with mud that spills out into every other scene.
The play also focuses on the Dying Woman's sister and the policeman assigned to her case, doesn't it?
Yes. The sister feels incredibly guilty. She points out very early in the play that she kicked the Dying Woman out when she was 15. But at the same time, the Sister was pregnant and becoming a mother. The Police Officer, meanwhile, is an individual but he's also representative of the police force and their lack of consciousness of the killer.
So, does he symbolise the wider failings of law enforcement?
Yes, exactly. They were just blind. If they'd just followed up on the leads, they could have caught the guy and the murders would have been prevented. But, as he points out, there are so many problems on the downtown east side of Vancouver. It's really interesting in terms of the colours in which Colleen has painted these characters. You can see where they are responsible, to an extent, but you also get the other, complex side of it, where their hands are tied.
Given the controversy over the casting of a non-Aboriginal actor as the Dying Woman in the original production, how did you approach casting the role?
I was aware that it was an issue. Colleen said to me, 'look, you should be able to blind-cast the role, as long as she has black hair'. Because that's specifically in the script. I thought about that and thought, 'Well, I can't really blind cast the Dying Woman because part of the comment the sister makes to the Police Officer is that she isn't rich or white.'
If there were ten actresses lined up that were aboriginal women, of course, you're going to look to cast them. But when we were initially looking at actresses, there were as little as three or four even available. In a way, it freed me up, but it also shone a light on the lack of roles available for ethnic minority actresses and how many women from ethnic minorities actually go into acting, at all, when the roles aren't there for them.
Given the intense and harrowing nature of the material, how have you worked with the actors in the rehearsal room?
At the first read-through I said, let's just get it out of the way. The cast are all excellent and they have a really great sense of humour. They've been great at bringing forward ideas. We had a lot of fun in the early days, exploring things. And when I was casting for the play, I made it really clear that it was going to be a really hard job, so I think the cast were aware of how difficult it was going to be from the outset. So they came mentally and physically prepared. And Kirsty, who plays the Dying Woman, has been so incredibly up for trying anything and everything.
Earlier, you used the word 'beautiful' to describe Colleen's writing – in spite of Pig Girl's darkness. With that in mind, how do you hope audiences will approach the play?
I'd like them to walk away seeing the beauty of this one woman on stage, who is intelligent and fights for her life. Her strength and her spirit is really beautiful. I'd like them to walk away and think twice if they see a woman on the streets or in a newspaper headline – to think of them as individuals rather than part of a faceless group. There's also the reluctance of the Sister to fully give up on her and the fact that the Police Officer, who starts the play as a curt, impolite and narrow-visioned guy completely breaks down by the end of it. He becomes an individual. And the realisation that he comes to is, I hope, a sign that change is possible.

Elastic Analysis of Frameworks with Elastic Connectionsby Edgar Lightfoot, Lect. in Engrg. Sci.; Oxford Univ., Oxford, U.K., and Fellow of Pembroke Coll., Oxford, U.K.,
Andrew P. Le Messurier, Res. Student; Dept. of Engrg. Sci., Oxford Univ., Oxford, U.K.,
Serial Information: Journal of the Structural Division, 1974, Vol. 100, Issue 6, Pg. 1297-1309
Document Type: Journal Paper
Rectilinear plane and space frame with elastic connections occur in building frames; and with diagonal bracings, they also occur in scaffolding. The matrix stiffness analysis of the general space frame is developed for linear elastic connections related to every possible displacement at the end of each member. Correction matrices are also derived for modifying the usual rigid joint analysis. Examples are given of the elastic analysis of a plane framework and a simple space portal allowing for various elastic connections at the ends of some or all of the members.

Mobile phone carriers, desperate to keep growing, are obviously excited about mobile ads. But most ads on the mobile Web won't make them a penny -- any pennies earned will go to Web publishers. So carriers need to sell ads in places they do control.
One potential ad space: The display you see while you're waiting for calls to connect and disconnect, sending a text message or email, downloading a ringtone, etc.
That's what Digital Sidebar, a Santa Monica, Calif.-based startup, is hoping to offer carriers. The company's Sidebar platform launches today, and they've signed up a major U.S. carrier to trial it. (They won't say who it is yet.) Sidebar will show ads and other sponsored content while people are waiting for their phones to do stuff, and will be able to target content based on a user's age, gender, interests, use patterns, day and time, etc.
What Sidebar doesn't explain: Why anyone's going to put with the ads. If we're paying for Web access/data plans, we're going to need a pretty big enticement to put up with this stuff. The company's site does make a reference to "enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty through a personalized marketing channel," but we assume that Digital Sidebar's mystery carrier has some more specific scheme in mind.
Assuming they figure it out, how big is the market? Digital Sidebar guesstimates that by 2012, there will be 4 billion wireless subs worldwide and 1.28 trillion potential Sidebar impressions every month. That's an average 320 impressions per subscriber, per month. Assuming a $15-20 CPM, or cost per 1,000 impressions, that's about $4.80-6.40 per month, per subscriber. Or about 10%-13% on top of the roughly $50 per month that U.S. wireless subs spend on service. Not bad. (Update: We hear Digital Sidebar will be looking for CPMs about twice that amount.)
Digital Sidebar closed a $5 million Series A round last year from undisclosed private investors.
