I made these cute little birdie pancakes earlier for Danny.
Things were going well with the blueberries, but he decided the first piece of pancake I gave him would have looked better on the floor
There was no way I was risking all of my creations being launched around my kitchen so I enjoyed these pancakes and Danny had boiled egg & avocado instead.
These really are delicious though!
Here's how I made them:
1 egg
1 small banana
Sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
Blitz the ingredients together. Get a hot pan with some coconut oil and pour half the batter in. Cook on one side then flip. Cook the remaining batter until your pancake is ready and they're done.
I spread some crunchy peanut butter on mine with some berries (and kept some banana slices for eyes)
Enjoy immediately.

Abu Dhabi: The Japanese Embassy in the UAE has commended the Urasenke Abu Dhabi Study group for its efforts to promote Japanese culture.
Akio Isomata, Ambassador of Japan to the UAE, awarded the Certificate of Commendation to the group in recognition of its outstanding contributions, which includes practicing the Way of Tea ritual to promote mutual understanding and friendship between Japan, the UAE, and other countries.
Established in Abu Dhabi in 2010, the group has been regularly conducting lessons for interested residents in the Japanese tea ritual known as Chadō. The ritual is carried out at Ryoku-Sui-An, the Japanese tea house which was gifted to His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE President, in 2009 by Dr Genshitsu Sen, the 15th–generation Grand Master of Urasenke
The Abu Dhabi group has also been actively participating in various cultural events throughout the UAE, introducing the charm of this Japanese tradition to wide audience through a variety of demonstrations.
The Urasenke tea tradition is one of the most prominent schools of the way of tea in Japan, with a history dating back to the 16th century. Its philosophy is based on the principles of harmony (wa), respect (kei), purity (sei), and tranquility (jaku), which are reflected in every aspect of the ceremony, from the preparation of a bowl of tea to the serving of it to the guests.

Hi, I am taking a intro to C++ course so my knowledge base only limits to areas such as if/else, functions, and recursions.
We are creating a program which will determine the probability of Poker Hands, such as Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind and such. However in order to complete this, I need to determine how many different poker hands there are. On pencil and paper, this is relatively easy as its a simple combination problem.
52! / 5! 47!
52 represents the deck, 5 represents the hand, and 47 represent the Deck-Hand. The total amount of poker hands are 2,598960.
The problem is that I cant seem to implement this into my program. I cannot simply pull a random number such as 2,598960 out of thin air. I must prove it within the confines of my program with the use of combinations. Thus far, I have attempted to use a recursion for the numerator and denominator. This is not successful as 50! well exceeds the any type of data type.
In real life, there is a cancellation for simplicity which results to 52x51x50x49x48/5x4x3x2x1. This would be much easier for the program to calculate. However I doubt there is a way for the program to perform cancellations.
In general, I am having a hard time initializing this program simply because I dont know how to force the program to perform such calculations. Any help is appreciated.

Recently with one defiant action, I deconstructed an idea so permeating, so ingrained by society that it touches virtually every aspect of our day to day lives, often unbeknownst to us.
An idea so virulent, so pervasive that it has altered countless lives in so many tragic, devastating ways. It's nefarious underpinnings surreptitiously able to enmesh and intertwine with our daily existence with minimal resistance, a toxic, clinging Hedera personified. Becoming part of our identities, defining us. Shaping us. Poisoning us.
Men and women.
No one has escaped its grasp. The secretion of those tiny globules from the unassuming social rootlets, microscopic in size, nanoparticles, able to seep into any crack, any crevice, finding purchase. Formed of myriad compounds with incredible ability to adhere to any surface, any person. Each particle by itself weak, but together a powerful superglue, securely bonding unwelcome guest to host. Altering it.
We have all been in the presence of its tenacious tendrils at some point in our lives, in some way. Causing us to question our worth. Our value. To ourselves. To those around us.
Those three words.
Each monosyllabic. Independently, benign. But together, razor sharp, as though meticulously worked on the whetstone by deviously skilled craftsmen over the generations. Honed and beveled for the perfect cutting edge. Penetrating.
Be A Man
I steeled myself, slipping confidently into my psychological hauberk, protected against the blades of judgement, shame, and guilt – its trifecta of Goondas, attempting the dirty work but unable to find fault in my armour, slashing with futility. Each stinging advance parried. Rebuffed.
Not that day. Not me. A lesser man would have failed. Fallen to the onslaught, a victim to all that the statement represents. Represented.
This is the story of my emancipation from those three words.
I made coffee. But soon realized I had no milk. Nor had I any sugar.
Black coffee.
I poured it down the drain. Untouched.

Things get a little weird in this week's episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star, "The ATX-Files" when the team discover a radioactive home and it's revealed Owen is quite the alien aficionado. Let's jump in.
Caleb Doesn't Deserve Briana
The episode kicks off with two familiar faces, Caleb and Briana (Caleb locked himself in his father's safe and nearly died), who are out on a romantic trip in the woods. Caleb wants to win her back, but before he can say much they spot two very creepy glowing blue figures deep in the woods. Caleb panics and jumps on the ATV, taking off without Briana (shocker) but accidentally launches himself straight into a barbed wire fence. Cue the 126 to extract him from the very painful situation!
To calm Caleb down, Owen tells him about his theory on the blue "aliens" in the woods and it's revealed, much to the shock of the team (and us) Owen is a firm believer in alien conspiracy theories.
The Ryders Host Wyatt
Judd and Grace decide to host Wyatt for the weekend, and things get off to a rough start when Wyatt reveals he can't eat the brisket or mac and cheese casserole. He's vegan. This puts a damper on Judd's weekend plans which included hunting and bass fishing. Wyatt is more of a skater and gamer, oh and an alien lover!
Judd asks Owen if he will take them on an alien hunting excursion as a way to bond. They return to the same spot that the 126 found Caleb and Briana. In a hilarious turn, Owen and Wyatt have more in common than Judd does, enjoying teriyaki veggie chips and discussing veganism and aliens. The next morning, Owen's Geiger counter jumps where Judd finds a dead hog's body.
After hours of debriefing, Judd returns home to Grace and Wyatt playing video games. He apologizes for missing his last day, but Wyatt tells him it's been the best weekend of his life. He's always wanted to go camping with father. Judd promises to take him to a family ranch on his next visit!
Things Get Toxic
Tommy and T.K. arrive in full suits to scan them for radiation but everyone is thankfully safe. Judd, Tommy, and Owen find a dead man and nearly dead woman at a house in the middle of the woods.
So what happened? Four days prior, the man raided an abandoned hospital for found objects and brought home a device filled with caesium chloride, a highly radioactive material. The woman made jewelry out of it and sold it to an unsuspecting customer. They also painted with it and basically slathered their bodies in the unknown substance (PSA: if something from a hospital glows don't open it and dowse yourself in it.)
Grace works her dispatcher magic to locate the buyer of the necklace. The 126 arrive and confiscate the necklace, and then rush the family into decontamination making this poor woman's birthday rather eventful.
A Haunting or A Mouse?
On what would have been their 15th year anniversary, Tommy attends a grief counseling meeting. She returns home to the sitter informing her the girls insisted on watching Ghostbusters. One of the girls now insists their house is haunted because the light in their room flickered in a 1, 4, 3 pattern. Later, Tommy begins to think it might be Charles trying to communicate with her.
While on a case, a psychic medium tells her someone is trying to reach her. Tommy decides to return for a consultation and reveals she and Charles used to use a code on her beeper 1 4 3 to mean "I love you." The medium advises her to cook a meal as a sort of offering, put on music and tell Charles how she feels. She decides to take the advice and has the babysitter take the girls, but she informs Tommy that her electrician son stopped by and discovered mice had chewed on the wires. The lights flickering where only that. Regardless she still cooks the meal and eats and talks as if Charles is there with her.
9-1-1: Lone Star airs on FOX on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Stay tuned for our continued coverage on the series, including episodic recaps and more!

Most of the population has either been immunized against Covid-19 in the last few years or has recovered from the infection. Many are asking the question: When can vaccinations, active infection, or both trigger the immune system to attack? The pandemic began in late 2021 when the omicron version of SARS-CoV-2 started to spread.
Many people were not sure if they were at risk of contracting the virus despite having been vaccinated. As of February 20, 2022, approximately 4.9 billion people had only received one dose. This is 63.9 percent. Over 430,000,000 cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed.
This is a difficult question to answer as the virus is still relatively new. There are always new viruses. It is difficult to answer.
We are immunologists who study infectious and inflammatory diseases, including COVID-19. Our goal is to understand the mechanisms of protective immunity.
Table of Contents
Antibodies and Killer T Cells: What Are Their Roles?
Your body will make two types of immune defenses after being infected with COVID-19 or vaccinated. B cells produce antibodies.
Antibodies, Y-shaped proteins, are the first line of defense against infection. Once the virus has infected a cell, it can spread easily to other cells.
This is when your immune system activates a different type of immune cell called the killer T cell. These cells are your second line of defense.
Cells cannot be detected by killer cells. Viral replication can be stopped by cells.
The public believes that antibodies are the main source of protective immunity during the COVID-19 outbreak. They didn't recognize the crucial role of killer cells.
You can also purchase immunity booster pills from reliable companies to fight diseases such as Covid 19.
Long-Term Protective Immunity Is Reliant on Memory
The immune system's true veterans are those with a lot of experience who can provide long-lasting immunity as well as protection against infection.
Clear evidence has been found that the spike protein or virus is present. These cells quickly recognize the virus and release antibodies. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which is an infectious disease, can be caused by the SARS/CoV-2 viruses.
Infections will usually cause mild to moderate symptoms that resolve quickly. Some people may become seriously ill and require medical attention. More people are at risk of developing serious illnesses if they're over 65 or have chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and chronic respiratory disease. COVID-19 can make anyone seriously ill and even cause death. You can reduce COVID-19's effects by using Ivercor 6.
To avoid or slow down the spread of the disease, it is essential to fully understand how it spreads. You can keep your family and yourself safe by wearing a mask that is well-fitted and regularly washing your hands with alcohol-based rub. Get vaccinated as soon as possible according to local advice.
Infected people can contract the virus by coughing, sneezing, speaking, singing, and breathing. The virus can also spread through their noses or mouths as small liquid particles.
These particles can be small or large and range from small droplets to aerosols. It is important to practice good respiratory hygiene. You can either cough into your elbow, or you can stay home until you feel better.
Multiple COVID-19 vaccinations are better than one. A similar increase in the number of memory-killing T cells can prevent serious illness or hospitalization.
The immune system can keep memory cells in place for long periods of time.
However, memory cells are very specific. Memory cells might not function as well if new viruses or strains are discovered.
This begs the question: "When and for how long?"
Long-Term Resistance to Covid-19
After infection with COVID-19, or vaccination, antibodies begin to mobilize. These antibodies can last up to three months.
Complexity and nuance are key to immunity. This section provides information on COVID-19 in Vermont. While antibodies are only detectable after infection,
It is well-known vaccines can trigger immune memory that is similar to natural infections. However, a new study that has not been peer-reviewed found vaccines increase B-cell diversity. This protects against variants such as omicron.
However, detection and confirmation do not guarantee immunity against COVID-19.
It is not possible to determine whether the Covid-19 dose provided protection to killer cells or antibodies. This is because of the time and research involved.
Although the virus may be able to produce an immune response, it is not enough to stop reinfection.
Infection Prevention From Vaccination
Recent U.K. Health Security Agency research has shown that two doses of mRNA vaccines can protect against infection for up to six weeks. Another study revealed that mRNA vaccines have a protective effect of up to two months. Due to the increase and decrease in infection, their effectiveness was reduced to seven months.
There are conflicting reports on whether active infection triggers protective immunity. This could be because of the many virus strains discovered in the study.
COVID-19 may provide protection comparable to that provided by vaccines. However, this was not peer-reviewed.
Hybrid Immunity
Researchers found that hybrid immunity (coviD-19 and vaccination) can offer strong protection against infection. This protection remains active for over a year after infection by COVID-19.
Hybrid immunity is a unique form of hybrid immunity that triggers an immune response that lasts a long time.
Researchers are working to develop vaccines that trigger the same immune response in people who have been reinfected. This is an increasing fact.
COVID-19, which is a disease partly caused by the SARS/CoV-2 viruses was first discovered in 2019. Inhaling droplets of virus-laden particles or drops can spread the disease. These droplets and particles can be inhaled or land on the eyes, noses, and mouths of others. In certain situations, they can cause contamination of surfaces they touch.
This section contains information about COVID-19 in Vermont. This section will provide information about how to prevent getting sick, symptoms and treatment, and how to get tested for and vaccinated.

The Housemaid
Oriental cinema has often suffered from a martial arts image but it has made an important contribution to world cinema. This has much to do with the work of Ang Lee, who won multiple cinema awards for Brokeback Mountain and is one of the world's most esteemed directors. Though born in Taiwan he has long lived in the States and was educated there, so he is more in the tradition of legendary cineastes like Billy Wilder, Ernst Lubitsch and Feed Zinnemann (all from Vienna) who emigrated to the States.
My favourite Lee film is Lust, Caution an espionage thriller set in Shanghai at the time of the Second World War. It stars Tony Leung as a senior politician whose home is infiltrated by a young maid who is part of a team to assassinate him. She is seduced by him and both are compromised.
A similar theme, if not period, dominates The Housemaid. Here a young housemaid comes to work in the house of a very rich indulgent young man whose wife is pregnant with twins. She is seduced too and becomes pregnant. The girl finds herself victimised by the wife and mother, but helped by a housekeeper. All this leads to a ghoulish finale.
The film has both erotic and thriller tension. The opulence of the house is well contrasted to the bare emotions of jealousy and vengeance. Almost all the action takes place in the house, except for some hospital scenes, but this adds to the oppressive mood of the film.
The acting is uniformly good, though as the names of the South Korean cast were unknown to me, I expect they will be to you too. Tony Leung, the best known oriental actor, made a clever move by adopting a westernised name. It made me think that the servant would make a good topic for my next list (Remains of the Day; The Servant; Rebecca; The Admirable Crichton; Driving Miss Daisy) and this film merits inclusion in it.

Actor Aditya Roy Kapur admits he has been caught making out as well as urinating in public in the past.
The Malang actor's confession came when he was asked what he would prefer — getting caught making out in public or relieving in public.
Aditya Roy Kapur said urinating "in public will just be wrong for me to choose. It's just a wrong message to give out. So, I would take a hit of being caught for making out in public".
Aditya Roy Kapur then added: "Both have happened in life."
As an actor, Aditya shared that auditions make him feel uncomfortable.
"I think every audition has been nerve-racking. I have never really loved (auditions). It's something you have to do but it's always been really uncomfortable. Because, you have to create this reality looking at an imaginary girl and wink at an imaginary person or whatever, So, it's all really weird," Aditya said, adding: "I think a lot of people that are taking auditions don't make it any easier. There's not very much compassion over there. I think you just have to suck it up and just do it."
Talking about how he felt working after lockdown, Aditya said: "It actually felt good. You feel nervous because you don't know if you're going to get corona or not but other than that, it felt really, really good to just work.
"I was enjoying my dubbing. I was like, I have done something legit constructive after months and it felt good. But yes, you have to take all your precautions but it just felt good to work, honestly," Aditya said during a conversation with actress Neha Dhupia in a podcast of "JioSaavn #NoFilterNeha".

Walking Control for Humanoid Robot Based on ZMP Error Correction
摘要: 步行环境不理想、外力扰动等因素导致仿人机器人步行时ZMP出现误差,从而影响机器人的步行稳定性.由于机器人的各关节角度都对ZMP有影响,若只校正支撑腿的踝关节或髋关节等单个关节角度,则难以达到理想的步行控制效果,因此,本文综合考虑各关节角度对ZMP的影响,先通过模糊控制器基于ZMP误差给出机器人的质心位置增量,再利用二次规划方法和质心的雅可比矩阵求解出满足该质心位置增量的各关节角度校正量.仿真实验表明,本文方法较好地跟踪了期望ZMP,提高了步行稳定裕度,使仿人机器人实现了稳定的步行.Abstract: Both undesirable walking environment and external perturbations will cause the ZMP (zero moment point) error and affect the walking stability of the humanoid robot. Since ZMP is affected by angles of all robot joints, it is difficult to achieve good walking-control performance if only correcting the ankle or hip angles of the support leg. Therefore, considering the influence of all joint angles on ZMP, the way to calculate the CoM (center of mass) position displacement of robot is studied by fuzzy controller based on ZMP error. Then angle corrections of all joints to match the CoM position displacement are computed by using quadratic programming and CoM Jacobian matrix. The simulation results show that by this method, the desired ZMP trajectory can be tracked very well, and the walking stability margin is improved, which helps the humanoid robot walk stably.

FOR SALE: Sonny
Type: 54' Sparkman & Stephens Classic Sloop
Year: 1935
Current Price: $945,000
Location: Newport, RI
Hull Material: Wood
Engine/Fuel Type: Single diesel
Sailing Through History and Beyond
If you're looking for a genuine classic with a long and rich history, Sonny, a 54' Sparkman & Stephens, is just the boat. Sonny was originally commissioned in 1935 by Connecticut resident Albert D. Phelps, and built in Jacob's Shipyard on City Island New York, but thanks to the meticulous care of her eight previous owners, she has maintained the beauty of her original condition.
Sonny's superior craftmanship slices effortlessly through the waves.
Sonny's hull is filled with stories, from her stint in World War II to her many victories in the Mediterranean, winning in Argentario, Antibes, Cannes and St. Tropez. Along the way she has been constantly updated, maintained and
repaired, ensuring that she is in pristine condition today. However, the integrity of Sonny's original design has not been lost, as she has undergone repairs rather than replacements anywhere possible, and any removed original equipment has been marked and stored.
The gimbaled saloon table has foldable leaves and is removable for sailing.
Sonny has an exquisite interior that sleeps six, four in the main saloon and two more in aft stateroom. An additional storage area, converted from the original crew's quarters could easily be reconverted to an additional cabin.
The main saloon is outfitted in gorgeous butternut panels.
Primetime Condition
The interior of the ship was beautifully updated, with the butternut paneled bulkheads, deck beams and mahogany owner's cabin have all been stripped, repaired and refinished. The result is an immaculate time capsule to the ship's original 1935 appearance.
Just two of the beds housed in the boat, which sleeps six.
Sonny's current owner brought her back from the Mediterranean in 2007 and has made considerable improvements, in addition to keeping up with fastidious maintenance over the years. She has had a successful racing history, especially as of late, starting strong for the 2015 season with a win in the New York Yacht Annual Regatta in Newport, RI. Now she's ready to make history for you!

Far Cry Boats owner Rick Brown has given new meaning to the phrase "launching a business." He has spent the past summer building a floating workshop for his wooden-boat construction and repair service and as you can see in the photo above, the business has officially been launched.
Brown has been working with wooden boats for more than 40 years, most recently at the nearby Maciel Marine. He specializes in boats up to 22' and has built or repaired peapods, dorys and skiffs.
Far Cry Boats, which is about a half mile away from the more well-known builder Gannon & Benjamin, adds further evidence to the realization that Martha's Vineyard is becoming a center for wooden boats.

Type: 47' Nautor Short Handed Cruiser
Year: 1981
Current Price: $195,000
Location: Padanaram, MA
Hull Material: Fiberglass
Engine/Fuel Type: Single diesel
Aristea, a 47' Nautor Short Handed Cruiser, is now for sale via Sparkman & Stephens. The owner, who is anxious for a quick sale, has reduced the price to $195,000.
Under her attentive owner, Aristea has been expertly prepared, maintained, and sailed for several thousand miles of ocean cruising, according to the sales team at S&S. The result, they say, is an attractive yacht that is ready for serious global a cruising or expeditions under sail.
An S&S Swan 47, she has evolved into something much more valuable. Her knowledgeable and experienced owner had her modified for improved offshore performance under the expertise of Sparkman & Stephens's design department and with the guidance of Mitch Neff.

FOR SALE: "Prana," 39' Beneteau 40
Available: Now
Year Built: 2008
Current Price: US $199,000
Location: Stamford, CT
Hull Material: Fiberglass
Engine/Fuel Type: Single
"PRANA" a 2008 Beneteau 40 was designed by naval architects Berret/Racoupeau with Nauta Design responsible for the interior stylizing. The winner of Cruising World's "Best Midsize Cruiser" award in 2007, it is one of the most popular models that Beneteau has sold.
What makes these boats so popular are features such as an expansive cockpit with walk-through transom, dual steering stations, in-mast furling for ease of handling and the great styling.
At rest with mainsail peeking out from inside the mast.
"Prana" is a two cabin model and has been very well maintained by her owners.

Sparkman & Stephens and Morris Yachts, which are celebrating their successful 10-year partnership of the M-Series this year, has announced an addition to the fleet. Called the M46, this latest version is "akin to the existing models in many ways, but takes performance, range, and outfit to a new level," say the partners with pride.
Look for the Morris fleet--and the new M46--at the Vineyard Cup on Martha's Vineyard this summer on July 12th, 13th and 14th. (If you'd like to investigate buying or renting a home on the island during the event, or at any time during the summer, contact Elise Ryan at Coldwell Banker Landmarks (410) 258-8237.)
The current line of M-Series yachts includes 4 models from 29 to 52 feet overall. For the new M46, Sparkman & Stephens was tasked with incorporating the line's same great looks into the new design while enhancing nearly every other aspect from speed to accommodation. The outcome is a stunning new design suited to any yachtsman.
The most noticeable departure from the existing line of M-series is displayed in the M46 hull design. Sparkman & Stephens has stretched out the waterline to gain maximum performance without compromising on looks.
Slenderness has been maintained for effective upwind work and maximum comfort while sailing. Gentle tumblehome in the topsides ensures symmetric waterlines while sailing at heel to make exceptional headway to weather. The draft is ample but not excessive, resulting in optimal balance between sailing performance and shallow inlet cruising.
The M46 layout achieves more than any other classically styled yacht in her size range. The accommodation and systems onboard rival designs that are 25% larger in her class.
Double cabins, double heads, separate shower, navigation station, generous salon seating, and a spacious galley have all been included with full standing headroom throughout.
In line with all Sparkman & Stephens designs, the layout is designed to provide safety at sea as well as the best utilization of space.
On deck, the ergonomically-perfect cockpit incorporated on the other M-series has been worked into the new M46 design as well. The cabin house is characteristic M-series with some additional sculpting and shaping. A slightly raised foredeck is introduced with a liberal use of glass and hatches to create airy and light-filled interior spaces throughout.
Sparkman & Stephens took a hard look at the rig design on the M46. The standard M-series rig setup with self-tacking jib has been a triumph, as it provides safe, shorthanded, and worry-free sailing. On the new design, an optional soft outer stay for a large G0 sail has been added to maximize performance on light wind days.
Additionally, a retractable deck sprit for the asymmetrical spinnaker will be offered to enhance sailing off the wind.

SAIL Best Boats Nominees 2013
SAIL Magazine has issued its 2013 nominees for its annual Best Boats list. They include new boats from domestic and foreign builders and were on display at the Newport International Boat show in September and the U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis in October. Check out the editors' comments and links to the company websites for more information.
Cruiser 50
It's been on the water for a year or so in
Europe, and now the Cruiser 50—big sister to the Cruiser 45 that won a 2012
Best Boats award—has made it to this side of the Pond. It's a powerful offshore
boat with a choice of interior layouts to suit just about any cruising plans or
styles. The roomy hull is from Farr Yacht Design and performance should live up
to the name. bavariayachts.com
Vision 46
The first of a new line of cruisers from
German yard Bavaria, the Vision 46 embodies some fresh thinking in design and
layout. It's aimed at couples who cruise with occasional guests and is more
opulently fitted out than the company's Cruiser line. Comfort is a key
criterion: hence the padded recliners for the helmsman, and cockpit seats that
convert to a double berth. bavariayachts.com
Not content with having cranked out new cruising
boats at a ferocious pace for the last two years, Bavaria has diversified into
the realm of sport boats. The B/One is a zippy-looking 23-footer from Farr
Yacht Design. It's intended to be both a potent one-design racing weapon and a
functional weekend cruiser. The keel and rudder retract for trailering, and all
interior furniture can be removed to minimize racing weight. bavariayachts.com
A new C&C is always a welcome sight, and
the 101 looks set to build on the marque's reputation for fast sailing.
Designed by Tom McNeill, the 33-footer displaces less than 4 tons and carries a
carbon-fiber rig. She's tiller-steered and has a huge cockpit that should prove
popular with both racing crew and daysailing guests. c-cyachts.com
European builders have been pushing the
performance cruiser concept hard over the last decade, and Dufour's 36P is as
fine an example of the state of the art as you'll find. Aggressive lines, a
retracting sprit and a tall rig promise excellent speed, while the deck and
cockpit layout are optimized for easy handling; belowdecks there's a
comfortable cruising interior. dufour-yachts.com
Tartan Fantail
Tim Jackett's latest design for Ohio's Tartan Yachts is a 26ft daysailer that, in the best traditions of the breed, combines traditional good looks with up-to-the-minute thinking in hull design and sail-handling systems. A fractional rig with self-tacking jib and an extending sprit for an A-sail provides the motive power, and there's room for six or more people to sit comfortably in the long cockpit. tartanyachts.com
This lively 38-footer quickly shot to the top
of Hanse's bestseller list upon its introduction in Europe last year. All the
ingredients that mark the German builder's range of boats are present here:
twin wheels, plumb bow, a powerful yet easily handled sailplan and a
voluminous, bright interior. hanseyachts.com
Like the other boats in Hanse's new 5 series,
the 415 has more volume and better performance than its predecessor, the
immensely popular Hanse 400. It's nearly 2ft longer on the waterline and with
increased beam aft there's more interior space to play with. A long list of
options and alternatives allow owners to semi-customize the boat to suit
individual tastes. hanseyachts.com
Distinctive styling and sweet sailing
performance are two of the Moody line's signature traits. This 41-footer
is the smallest in the Bill Dixon-designed range now being built at the Hanse
plant in Germany. White paneling and glossy wood trim feature strongly
belowdecks, and there's a large choice of layouts, with up to three cabins and
two head compartments. moodyboats.com
Oceanis 48
The reasons for the popularity of Beneteau's
revamped Oceanis line are plain to see in this roomy cruiser—user-friendliness
chief among them. The large cockpit is transformed into a play area by the
full-width drop-down transom. The accommodations plans are well thought out,
and sailing performance is pretty good too. beneteauusa.com
This innovative cruiser was designed to be
right at home in the shoal waters of the U.S. East Coast. With the keel and
rudder retracted she'll sail or motor in two feet of water; with her foils down
she's capable of crossing an ocean. There's plenty of fresh thinking in the
deck and interior layout too.
Already looking like a big hit, this boat was
introduced in the spring to widespread acclaim. It's simple to handle,
trailerable, fast, rock-steady at speed and you can sleep aboard—what more
could you ask of a 23ft sport boat? jboats.com
Nautitech 441
This good-looking cat from France comes with
steering wheels located aft on each hull, in which case it's called the 442, or
with a single helm station in the cockpit (441). It has all the hallmarks of a
comfortable, quicker-than-average production cat. Finish quality is good, and
the boat has excellent manners under sail. nautitech.fr
Sense 55
The Sense 55 supercedes the 50 as the new
flagship in Beneteau's Sense line of monohulls with catamaran-style
accommodations. A super-wide cockpit leading straight into a spacious saloon
with sightlines running the length of the boat make this a great craft for
socializing and family cruising. A powerful rig and a 75hp Yanmar engine
(Beneteau's joystick-controlled Dock & Go system is optional) provide lots
of motive force, and twin rudders will keep her on track. beneteauusa.com
Sense 46
Here's a brand new mid-size addition to
Beneteau's ever-growing fleet of super-wide "monomaran" cruising machines. Like
her other Sense sisters, the 46 has a very horizontal layout and a nearly
uni-level cockpit and saloon. Two spacious staterooms forward and two separate
heads round out her light, airy interior. The open stern and fold-down transom
provide easy access to the water. Twin helms and twin rudders provide
unparalleled control. beneteauusa.com
Pajot Sanya 57
This French cruising catamaran offers an
abundance of space and comfort with a choice of a five- or six-cabin
accommodations plan (not counting crew's quarters!) and scads of lounging space
on deck. The efficient raised helm layout offers maximum visibility while
maintaining an attractive low profile. A balanced sailplan featuring a large
square-headed mainsail provides lots of get up and go. fountaine-pajot.com
Pajot Helia 44
Cruisers who prefer to do their sailing on
board cats will find plenty to like in this latest offering from the renowned
French builder. Designer Berret Racoupeau has managed to fit split-level
lounging and social spaces into a low-slung hull-and-cabin profile that is both
sleek and comfortable. Belowdecks there's room enough for both a family and
guests in a layout that features four staterooms and four heads. fountaine-pajot.com
Catalina has successfully downsized its
award-winning "5" series family-cruising concept without sacrificing any of its
practical functionality. The new 315 combines good sailing manners with
comfortable accommodations and a number of intelligent design features, like a
watertight collision bulkhead up forward, superior rig support and excellent
systems access. This boat should enhance Catalina's reputation as a leading
builder of domestic cruising boats. catalinayachts.com
Sun Odyssey 41DS
Fans of Jeanneau's successful contemporary
deck-saloon designs can now look forward to slipping into something a bit
smaller if they like. This new Sun Odyssey 41DS wears its distinctive
blister-shaped coachroof well and offers comfortable cruising accommodations.
Owners should appreciate the surprisingly large aft master stateroom, as well
as the generous aft head. Guests will revel in the forward cabin with its
ensuite head. Crew will appreciate the wide cockpit and twin wheels. jeanneau.com
Sun Odyssey 509
This new flagship in Jeanneau's
well-respected Sun Odyssey line has a traditional three-stateroom layout with
an especially well thought out galley and saloon. The versatile sailplan allows
you to fly your choice of a big genoa, a small overlapping jib or a straight
self-tacking jib. The hard-chined hull and tall rig should make for some stiff,
spirited performance. The double-ended German mainsheet makes the boat easy to
sail shorthanded. jeanneau.com
Sun Odyssey 469
Jeanneau is going from strength to strength
with yet another user-friendly family cruiser in its successful Sun Odyssey
line. Slotting neatly in the middle of the model range, the 469 boasts an
efficient deck layout, a versatile rig and a voluminous interior with clean
Euro-styling. As with all new Sun Odyssey boats, the 469 can be ordered with
360 Docking, which combines a pivoting saildrive leg and a bowthruster with an
integrated joystick control to make close-quarters maneuvering a snap. jeanneau.com
Here's an intriguing trimaran that manages to
fit catamaran-sized living accommodations into a three-hull format. With two
full-size double staterooms in the solid bridgedeck, plus a small one forward,
plus four single berths in the amas, the Neel 45 can sleep up to 10 people. And
thanks to the super-fine bows and big roachy mainsail, she sails like a witch.
The saloon offers wraparound views of the world outside, and the systems space
below the cabin sole is both large and easily accessed. neel-trimarans.com
This high-performance cat is both a souped-up
racing machine, with a carbon/epoxy hull and a rotating carbon rig, and a
stylish family cruiser. The narrow hulls, canted daggerboards and open
bridgedeck layout speak of speed; the simple, but well-appointed interior looks
both attractive and comfortable. One-design class rules (not to mention a
gorgeous teak deck) promise to make this a unique racer-cruiser multihull. lebreton-yachts.com
There are still plenty of sailors who want
small, simple cruising boats, and they're the Harbor 30's target audience. The
Steve Schock design is moderate in all respects, and should therefore be a
fine, well-rounded sailing boat that has no surprises in store for its crew.
Four can sleep below in comfort, enjoying such essential conveniences as an
enclosed head and full galley. wdschock.co
New pocket cruisers are few and far between
these days, so it's always good to see designs like the Sage 17 cropping up.
From the pen of trailer-sailer guru Jerry Montgomery, the Sage 17 is built in
the hills of Colorado. It's a pretty, seamanlike little thing that's sure to
draw admiring looks way out of proportion to its size. sagemarine.us
You couldn't look at this carbon-fiber
trimaran and not think "I want one!" Designed by Wurmfeld and Persak and built
in Massachusetts, the Motive 25R will be equally at home blasting around a
racecourse or taking a group of family and friends out for a daysail. It's a
tribute to the big ocean-crossing trimarans that have been breaking records
these past few years and shares many of the same design features. motivetrimarans.com
Here's a big little cat from Australia with
plenty of cruising potential. The 30ft Seawind 950 packs a lot of accommodation
into a small footprint, and looks like a great option for a couple or young
family. It can be ordered with fixed keels or daggerboards for better windward
performance. seawindcats.com
The biggest boat yet from this South African
builder makes its world debut this fall. It offers all the accommodations a
cruising family could conceivably need, with three levels of living space. A
plethora of options includes a six-cabin charter layout, and there are three
distinct outdoor living spaces. The sailplan features a self-tacking jib, a
rarity on a catamaran but one that makes sense on a boat of these proportions. leopardcatamarans.com
The SeaRail 19 is an affordable, lightweight,
trailerable trimaran built to accommodate to a wide range of sailors and uses,
including day sailing, sail camping and racing. The boat can be quickly folded
and unfolded for trailering and launching, and offers blistering speed afloat
with the help of an optional furling spinnaker. searail19.com
Vintage 43
Don't let the Rivolta Vintage 43's
traditional lines fool you. With its square-top main, furling A-sail,
retractable bulb keel and infused/cored E-glass hull, the boat is very much a
product of the 21st century,
providing a combination of performance under sail and shoal draft for thin-water
cruising. rivoltayachts.com
Designed by naval architects Joubert and
Nivelt, the Tofinou 8 combines classic lines topsides with a modern rig and a
high-aspect rudder and bulb keel below, making it both nimble and easy to
handle under sail. Oh, and it's also drop-dead gorgeous. classic-boats.com
The new XP 38 from X-Yachts follows in the
footsteps of the XP 44. A high ballast ratio and generous sailplan promise
excellent performance, while multiple rig and keel options allow owners to
tailor the boat to their particular sailing needs. x-yachts.com
Based on one of the late, great Olin
Stephens's favorite designs, the S&S30 is a thoroughbred daysailer that
just oozes class. There's a large cockpit and adequate accommodation for
a weekend cruise for a couple. Classic lines above the waterline and finely
sculpted foils below promise a pleasing blend of form and function. bluenoseyachts.com
Beneteau's lively little First 211
trailer-sailer was a huge hit when it was launched in 1998, and it has remained
popular through several iterations. The latest is the First 20, with an
all-new rig boasting a square-topped mainsail that should give its already
sprightly performance some extra sizzle. beneteau.com
Morris Yachts Brokerage announces a new arrival--SEABEAR II--now for sale for $295,000. The the first of the Morris 38's to hit the water, Seabear II has turned heads since her launching. Lovingly maintained by her present owner she represents a boat in ready-to-go condition. She is well equipped with modern amenities and a carbon fiber mast, yet still embraces the aesthetics of tradition boat design. "Morris-built to stand the tests of time," says the brokerage agent, "she will reward her future owners with years of enjoyment." For more information, contact James Allen, Brokerage Director at 207.244.5509. |
The Artic Tern Project has come to a bittersweet end. Builder Peter Gron began his final entry thus:
"Alula's crowning glory this last year was winning the "Best Tabloid Cruiser" award at the Victoria Classic Boat Festival (their parlance for "Best Small Cruiser – Sail"). I hadn't even planned on entering, but the positive response to Alula from the general public attending the show was so overwhelming that I thought, "Why Not?"
But even more glorious than her award was her astounding journey from Gabriola Island to Victoria to attend the show. She made it in only two days, all under sail.
The final leg of which was reaching down the Strait of Juan de Fuca in 25+ knots of wind, bounding across the ocean swells, before turning down-wind and surfing into Victoria harbour wing-on-wing. She sailed like a true champion on that trip."
Read on for Gron's final words and the difficult decision he had to make to put Alula up for sale. How true that on the Artic Tern Project, it was indeed about the journey and not the destination. I hope you enjoyed reading about it, I certainly did.

Jimmy Uso was injured and taken out of action. His brother Jey Uso was on SmackDown last week and he was more than ready to compete. Uce almost won the battle royal match, but Sheamus put him out to clinch the win. Is there more coming for Uce?
Some fans were hopeful that Jey Uso sticking around the battle royal match so long meant that WWE is preparing him for a singles push. That is not WWE's current plan.
Ringside News has learned that there is no singles push currently planned for Jey Uso. He will still likely be used while his brother is out of action.
We were told that Jey Uso was in the battle royal because "the roster is limited." It does appear that WWE will still use him which is different from how they usually act when a tag team wrestler is injured. The company generally benches the other tag team member until their partner returns.
Jimmy Uso will be back in several months. Fans should still expect to see Jey Uso wrestle on television and tell some stories. Plans can always change with Vince McMahon, but there is no big singles push presently in line for Jey Uso.

Options AI mobile is now available in the Apple app store! Go find it here.
Stocks opened higher this morning, potentially capping off a great week for stocks. With this morning's action, SPY is up nearly 3% on the week. With QQQ up nearly 5%. The week started with a cooler-than-expected CPI, had a bit of a news shock with a slightly more hawkish Fed, but quickly shook that off and headed higher into the three-day weekend. In fact, the shakeout post-Fed may have helped the rally as it likely put some traders offsides needing to then chase higher.
IV remains low, with the VIX 14.30, and SPY at the money vol on Monday just 9, the first time we've seen single digits in some time (that is also a reflection of traders not wanting to get plugged with long option premium for the long weekend). SPY vol for the rest of the week is 10-11 and just 12 a few weeks out.

By Andrew Chung and Brendan Pierson
(Reuters) -U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said on Thursday the Justice Department will ask the Supreme Court to intervene to stop restrictions set by a federal judge on the abortion pill mifepristone as President Joe Biden's administration moves to defend access to the drug.
The administration will seek emergency relief from the Supreme Court to defend the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's "scientific judgment and protect Americans' access to safe and effective reproductive care," Garland said in a statement.
Mifepristone, approved by the FDA in 2000, is used in combination with another drug called misoprostol to perform medication abortion, which accounts for more than half of all U.S. abortions. The FDA is the U.S. agency that signs off on the safety of food products, drugs and medical devices.
The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late on Wednesday put on hold part of last Friday's order by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo, Texas, that would have removed the drug from the market by suspending the FDA approval while he hears a lawsuit by anti-abortion groups seeking to ban it.
The 5th Circuit, however, declined to block portions of Kacsmaryk's order, reinstating restrictions on the pill's distribution that had been lifted since 2016. In addition to a requirement of three in-person doctor visits to prescribe and dispense the drug, those restrictions include limiting its use to the first seven weeks of pregnancy, down from the current 10.
Kacsmaryk's order was set to take effect at 12 a.m. CDT (0500 GMT) on Saturday, according to the Justice Department. Garland is seeking to have the Supreme Court block Kacsmaryk's order in its entirety.
"We are going to continue to fight in the courts," White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters traveling with Biden in Ireland. "We believe that the law is on our side, and we will prevail."
Kacsmaryk's ruling conflicts with a different federal judge's decision last Friday ordering the FDA to maintain access to mifepristone with no new restrictions in 17 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia, which had sued the Biden administration in an effort to loosen restrictions around the drug.
In response to a request for clarification from the administration, U.S. District Judge Thomas Rice in Spokane, Washington affirmed on Thursday that the FDA is forbidden from enforcing any new restrictions in those states, regardless of Kacsmaryk's order.
Anti-abortion groups led by the recently formed Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine and four anti-abortion doctors sued the FDA in November seeking to pull approval of misoprostol.
The Alliance Defending Freedom, the conservative legal group representing the plaintiffs, in a statement on Thursday called the 5th Circuit decision "a significant victory for the doctors we represent, women's health and every American who deserves an accountable federal government acting within the bounds of the law."
Removing mifepristone from the market would deal another major setback to U.S. abortion rights on the national level after the Supreme Court in June 2022 overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that had legalized the procedure nationwide.
The Supreme Court has a 6-3 conservative majority.
Kacsmaryk found that the FDA exceeded its authority by ignoring "legitimate safety concerns" about mifepristone and relying on "plainly unsound reasoning and studies" when approving it.
Health policy and legal experts have said Kacsmaryk's decision, if allowed to stand, would threaten the FDA's power to regulate all drugs nationwide and to act as the ultimate arbiter on drug safety.
The 5th Circuit found that the plaintiffs had waited too long to challenge the original 2000 regulatory approval of mifepristone but were likely to succeed in targeting the agency's decisions in recent years expanding access.
It said the government's arguments for an emergency stay of the ruling focused on the potential harm of pulling mifepristone from the market entirely but that it was "difficult to argue" that the 2016 changes "were so critical to the public given that the nation operated - and mifepristone was administered to millions of women - without them for 16 years."
Major U.S. medical groups, including the American Medical Association and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, have said the judge's ruling is unsupported by science, and that mifepristone's safety has been confirmed by hundreds of studies and more than two decades of experience.
The Justice Department has said the challengers have no basis for second-guessing the FDA's scientific judgment and that when used as directed, adverse effects of mifepristone are exceedingly rare "just as they are for many common drugs like ibuprofen."
The plaintiffs sought a sympathetic court by suing in Amarillo, where Kacsmaryk is the only federal district judge. Kacsmaryk is a conservative former Christian activist who was appointed to the bench by Republican former President Donald Trump, serving since 2019.
The lawsuit is part of an ongoing effort by anti-abortion activists and Republican officials to further limit abortion access following last year's Supreme Court ruling - one that freed states to outlaw the procedure. Since that decision, 12 U.S. states have outright bans in place while many others prohibit abortion after a certain length of pregnancy.

In September 2010, six TAMU students from the Nuclear Engineering department, including two NSSPI students, travelled to Moscow, Russia for a 2-week long internship at the National Research Nuclear University's Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI). The internship was part of the Joint U.S.-Russia Educational Program on Advanced Energy Technologies, a three-year-long collaboration with the University of Maryland funded by the U.S. Department of Education, which focuses on increasing interaction between U.S. universities and MEPhI through workshops, student exchanges and faculty visits, and collaborative research projects.
NSSPI students Braden Goddard and Matt Sternat represented Dr. William Charlton's nuclear nonproliferation research group, Megan Pritchard and Marie Cuvelier represented Dr. Pavel Tsvetkov's advanced energy systems development research group, and Damien Lebrun-Grandie and Bruno Turcksin represented Dr. Jean Ragusa's numerical methods research group. Dr. Alexander Solodov, NSSPI Research Engineer and Visiting Professor in the Nuclear Engineering Department, led the group of students.
During their internship, students visited the MEPhI Department of Theoretical and Experimental Reactor Physics and discussed their research projects with a group of students and faculty members from MEPhI. Each of the groups from TAMU gave briefings on their respective research areas and discussed further interactions and collaborations with MEPhI students and faculty. Students had an opportunity to visit the MEPhI research reactor, the Scientific Education Center, the Nanotechnology Center, and a number of other departments at MEPhI. The full cultural experience was rounded off with activities ranging from visiting Russian museums and landmarks to playing a friendly US versus Russia soccer match and an arm wrestling contest.

The Benicia Unified School District is already in the process of looking for a contractor for the fire alarm upgrade at Benicia High School. The school board will be voting Thursday to award the contract to the lowest bidder.
The fire alarm improvement is another item to be funded through Measure S, the initiative approved by Benicia voters in 2014 to provide $49.6 million in bond funding to enhance facilities at BUSD's seven schools. Much like the stadium renovation at Benicia High School and the fire alarm upgrade at Benicia Middle School, the project was taken to a public bidding process where contractors had to be pre-qualified in order to be eligible to bid. According to Measure S Bond Director Roxanne Egan, four contractors pre-qualified and three submitted a bid. The lowest was a $1.9 million bid submitted by Bockmon & Woody Electric Co. Inc. out of Stockton. District staff is recommending that the board award the contract to Bockmon & Woody, noting that the district's electrical engineer has successfully worked on projects with the company and is confident in their ability.

Making music is a fun, and rewarding experience, and have found out thru the years that it's even better when you're playing with guys, or girls that are all working towards the same goal.
If you go see some of your favorite bands, and they're great live it's probably because they're all on the same page, and not working against each other. These are my top 5 tips on how to achieve that. Hope it helps you in your endeavors.
1. The singer is the main instrument.
Meaning they're usually the one that people are there to see the most. As a guitarist, bassist you have to try to accommodate them as best you can so they sound the best they can. That usually means not playing too loud, not playing too busy, and playing things under them that make them shine. I can't tell you how many times I've played with guitarist that are on 10 because they think they should be, and you can't hear a thing the singer is singing.
Could you imagine going to see a Judas Priest concert and having Rob Halford's voice so buried in the mix that you didn't even know it was him? I see it all the time when I go to live shows. You can still play loud, but if the singer is having to fight against you to where they're over singing to try and hear themselves that's not good for anybody. Especially the people that are watching you.
2. Know your limitations.
Not everybody can be Steve Vai or Yngwie on the guitar and that's ok. It may surprise you, but your limitations may turn out to be to your advantage in the long run. Who knows maybe your true calling is songwriting, or coming up with riffs over playing sweep picking arpeggios all over the neck at warp speeds.
Regarding myself, for years I tried to play Eric Johnson stuff on the guitar, and for the life of
me could never really get there. I started focusing on songwriting, and singing, and couldn't be happier with my decision. I found out that those things were easier for me, and worked with my strengths, instead of my weaknesses.
In my opinion the song is the king anyway. As great as someone like Eddie Van Halen is, the thing that makes him greater are the amazing songs that he's been able to write thru his career. His virtuosity are just a added bonus.
3. Be a well oiled machine.
I mean that regarding all of the musicians gelling in the studio, and on stage. During rehearsals work out your guitar tones to were they compliment the other instruments sonically.
I have two guitarist in my band, and before we play a gig I make sure that both of them are sounding as best as possible together to were it's almost 3 Dimensional. Same goes for the bassist, and the drummer.
Learn the songs! Know how they end live, work on your background vocals etc,, Trust me singers appreciate that.
4. Everyone in the band should be networking
Let's face it, we all want to have successful gigs, and play in front of as many people as we can. Sell as many C.D's as we can to get our music out to the masses, and in order to do that everyone should
contribute in some way to make those goals happen.
It shouldn't just be up to the singer, or guitarist to get the word out. If there's anyone just sitting around that's not going to cut it. You don't all necessarily have to be doing the same thing either. Sending out invites on Facebook thru 4-5 different people can backfire on you. Maybe one or two guys can do that. One person can pass around flyers before hand at other gigs, maybe one guy could do the art work if they have talent in that department etc,,,
There's many, many different options out there so get busy. If you do everything you can that's all you can ask for. It usually pays off though with a full house.
5. Have fun, and forget about your troubles.
Isn't that why we got into music in a lot of ways? Work really hard at your craft. Practice that difficult solo, work thru that one section in the song were you play in 5/4 time, get thru the whole set during rehearsals with no mistakes etc,,
And once you hit the stage for the big moment just forget about all that and have fun. I'm sure a lot of people can relate, but if I'm up on stage thinking about messing something up, 9 times out of 10 I will. If you're relaxed and enjoying yourself I bet you'll be great. Hope to see your band one day, so you can inspire me into being the best I can be.

What is WCAG 3.0?
In our agency, we try to do our part to help make the web more accessible. But there are aspects of the ADA dependent, litigation-fueled environment that shaped web accessibility in the United States that we disagree with. We tend to avoid public policy experts, so we generally don't write about it. That said, we're happy to see the first public working draft for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 3.0, which addresses some of the issues we noticed (as well as a few that we didn't. still considered), and we wanted to share some of our preliminary thoughts.
What is WCAG 3.0?
WCAGs have been the most widely accepted set of web accessibility standards for over 20 years. The most recent major version (2.1) has been adopted as authoritative by many other bodies and has been codified in law as the basic standard for accessibility requirements in many countries. While US federal law is silent on the need for web accessibility, many federal courts have interpreted the ADA as requiring web accessibility and have referenced WCAG 2.x AA as the governing rule.
WCAG 3.0 is an ambitious rewrite of digital accessibility standards that goes beyond the web. It aims to reorient itself to a wider audience and to better educate non-technical users on how different disabilities can impact the user experience and the methods that can be used to address them.
When will WCAG 3.0 be released?
WCAG 3.0 is expected to be completed in early 2023. It should be noted that the Web Consortium (W3C) has indicated that this new set of standards will not be backward compatible with 2.x, but it also does not replace earlier versions. It is not clear what this practically means to site owners, but it is safe to assume that WCAG 2.1 (or 2.2) compliance will be acceptable for some time, even after the release of version 3.0. While WCAG 3.0 will likely end up being adopted by legal bodies as an authoritative standard, it's not something you need to worry about anytime soon.
The Web is one of the many mediums on the Internet
When WCAG 2.0 was released in 2008, the first iPhone model was barely a year old and the mobile web was in its infancy. Since then, we've seen the rise of mobile apps, OTT TV apps, virtual reality, augmented reality, and other new media for content. WCAG 3.0 attempts to address the fact that the Internet is more than just websites and a significant portion of digital content is not consumed in a web browser.
Some of these mediums, like augmented reality, are still too niche to have generated a strong demand for accessibility compliance services, but as one of the few agencies offering ADA mobile app audits, Digital Marketing Lahore is fully aware that the current WCAG 2.1 guidelines are a bad fit. Many web-centric success criteria translate easily into applications, while others are not applicable or awkwardly translated.
WCAG 3.0 aims to consolidate the current disparate sets of standards for web, e-publishing, and PDFs into a single set of technology platform-independent standards. While the guidelines make room for technology-specific methods, there are also fallback methods that can generally describe how new technology should behave. This should encourage a more holistic approach to accessibility that allows developers and users of new technologies to implement these requirements.
Accessibility is not binary
In the United States, prosecutions alleging ADA violations have been a major driver of accessibility adoption. This encourages sticking to the bare minimum, but does not create any incentive to try to improve further. We have always believed that accessibility is a spectrum. Even for sites that can't yet meet minimum compliance thresholds, it's best to become more accessible. Our website accessibility audits attempt to measure the impact of particular accessibility violations on the user experience .; for example, it makes good sense that an accessibility issue that prevents a customer from making a purchase is worse than a mislabeled image in a blog post. A pass / fail standard cannot really measure the accessibility of 'a website.
WCAG 3.0 presents interesting updates that respond to this dynamic. There are three levels of compliance that can be claimed: bronze, silver and gold. And achieving the minimum compliance level (bronze) does not require perfection. Tests of various accessibility methods are scored on a rating scale; some are binary, others measured in percentages or even based on qualitative ratings. The "pass" thresholds have yet to be determined, but the consortium indicated that many methods will have some headroom (allowing scores below 100% to pass) as long as critical processes are not hampered and some critical errors. are avoided.

This more detailed scoring method should also provide language for sites to document their level of compliance (whether satisfactory or not). After all, if you can get it up from 30% to 70%, that's a huge improvement. And even among passing sites, wouldn't you want to show that you are 95% (rather than 80% passing)? It should also open up the possibility of claiming compliance with specific processes or even particular sections or pages of a site, even if full compliance has not yet been achieved.
Finally, the WCAG 3.0 editors announced that the next version of the guidelines will include much more non-prescriptive information. While those motivated solely by compliance pressures will likely ignore these sections of WCAG, we hope this will encourage more thinking on the part of organizations who wish to adopt an accessibility mindset.

Scaling up accessibility is difficult
Making a single page site accessible is relatively easy. When you start adding more pages and custom or complex features, it gets a little more difficult. But the larger a site, the more difficult it becomes to keep it accessible. Large sites depend on many writers and editors of content, each of which has the potential to introduce violations. And sites that update automatically and frequently (including those with non-static layouts) don't have a shared artifact to test. Even though no accessibility violation is ever introduced, it is difficult for the site owner to claim that this is the case for sure.
Scaled rating values should help solve this somewhat. But the writers of WCAG 3.0 also said they were exploring other testing modalities such as holistic testing or sampling that could be used for larger sites to claim and demonstrate accessibility compliance. Currently, many sites of an order of magnitude smaller are already relying on some form of sampling to intelligently check for accessibility issues. From a legal standpoint, the fact that WCAG explicitly gives its blessing to these modes of testing and verification would be a game-changer.
More scientific color standards
In our experience, minimum color contrast ratios are often the most difficult accessibility standard to adapt for many organizations. Completely updating a company's brand is rarely part of the brief when we are hired for an accessibility audit, but it often happens that long-standing brands have insufficient color contrast to pass WCAG 2.1.
We are intrigued by the consortium's announcement that the new visual contrast standards will introduce a paradigm shift from color evaluation to the adoption of new research on "light intensity perception". While many brands may still fail the new standards, we expect this model to open up more color combinations (at least in some circumstances) for designers.

This change is personal for us. We had to reduce our use of orange because (in combination with white) it technically violates WCAG 1.4.3. We have reason to believe that the color combinations we use are actually accessible, but in a focused compliance environment, it's hard to argue against the consensus standard.
Make accessibility more accessible
We can't help but notice that accessibility is often left to the experts. Most site owners, designers and we would dare say that even developers don't know or understand much about what makes a website accessible. This prevented accessibility mainstreaming from becoming an expected part and universal web.
For this reason, it is essential to point out that WCAG 3.0 is making great strides towards producing accessibility guidelines and documentation that non-specialists can use and understand. The drafters plan to include plain language procedures and a conceptual framework for accessibility that should serve as a more direct entry into the topic than a list of requirements. The guidelines will include the functional needs of users with disabilities (eg, "Visionless use") and categories of disabilities and only then will pivot to specific methods and outcomes that address those concerns.
What it all means
While many people will still want (and probably should) hire experts for help, it helps for W3C to make an effort to document accessibility universally. However, only time will tell if the digital community is more accepting of adaptation and if accessibility becomes a priority for a wider range of organizations.

Arts Hub Australia, Asian Art Report, 3 January 2007
Asian Oz
by Gina Fairley
The buzz this month comes from Brisvegas with the opening of GoMA and the long awaited APT5 (the 5th Asian Pacific Triennial).
As the region's art cogniscenti rubbed shoulders under the huge modernist canopy of the gallery, it was perhaps the wave from the general public that swelled and filled the new museum, making a lasting impact. I will report on the exhibition later in this column's Focal Point – a look at Asian Oz.
Similarly, Singapore's National Museum opened early December. After a succession of soft openings over the past six months, including the Singapore Biennale, one has to wonder what remained 'new' to be revealed as this opening – but we are assured the hors d'oeuvres would have been fantastic!
And in galleries around the region, December is always a quieter month mopping up the year and wacking up the group holiday show. There are a few exciting initiatives that need to be highlighted, such as Malaysia's Wei-Ling Gallery's gutsy move to debut work in Pakistan and the Oz / Jap new media collaboration "Re:search"; plus Bodhi Art's new spaces in New York and Singapore, and of course the Asian Art Archives move next month to a much-needed 4,300 square foot space; plus the exciting Singapore initiative pairing Sotheby's and LASALLE-SIA in developing a business/arts management post-graduate institute starting next year. It just keeps getting better!
Welcome to the Asian Art Report.
Malaysia to Pakistan
In December 2006, Wei-Ling Gallery will embark on one of its most ambitious exhibitions to date, taking the works of 18 of Malaysia's most progressive contemporary Malaysian artists to Pakistan to be exhibited at Amin Gulgee Gallery in Karachi. This is an terribly exciting initiative by KL dealer Wei-Ling, pushing for a fresh vitality for relationships within the region. Wei-Ling recently showed the work of Australian artist Stewart MacFarlane again challenging Malaysian audiences. This exhibition, '18@8, Kuala Lumpur-Karachi', will be held at the renowned Pakistani sculptor gallery, and is supported by HSBC.
