On this day in 2001, the devil incited fear, chaos and tragedy by prompting 19 men associated with a terrorist organization known as Al-Qaeda to undertake a plot against the citizens of the United States. In all, three planes were used as guided missiles, killing innocent civilians within the borders of out country. A fourth plane was also hijacked to be flown to Washington DC to inflict more damage. Several brave souls on board overtook their captors and this fourth plan crashed in a field in Pennsylvania, killing all on board but likely saving many others.

With the Isuzu D-Max getting a facelift late last year, it's now the Mu-X's turn for a refresh. For this minor model change, the Mu-X gets a host of exterior upgrades, as well as a few tweaks to the interior.
The 2017 Mu-X receives a new front bumper with new lower accents. More chrome detailing can also be seen by the foglight housings. The grill is also new for 2017, getting more creases near the headlights. Speaking of headlights, the units have been upgraded to integrate daytime running lights, as well as a light signature.
On to its side, it is largely a carryover from the current model. More changes can be seen at the rear. The bumper has been redesigned with more cladding at the lower half. Also, the tail light element has been rearranged and now boasts an LED strip. Capping off the changes to the Mu-X are 18-inch alloy wheels, an upgrade from the current 17-inch wheels.
Inside, the design has been lifted from the current Mu-X but now features more soft-touch materials to boost cabin ambiance. The 2017 Mu-X can also be specified with faux wood trim and the seats have been redesigned as well. In Thailand, the Mu-X is also available with an eight-inch iConnect smartphone-capable infotainment system. Like the D-Max, the Mu-X gets a new instrument cluster.
Thai-spec Isuzu Mu-X models are available in two engine specifications. First is the 1.9-liter Blue Power turbodiesel engine. The second is a 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine carried over from the present Mu-X. The 1.9-liter mill produces 150 PS at 3,600 rpm and 350 Nm of torque while the 3.0-liter diesel puts out 177 PS and 380 Nm of torque. In the Philippines, the 3.0-liter engine in the current model produces 163 PS but torque remains at 380 Nm.
Transmissions are also new for 2017 and now shift via a six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual with Genius Sport Shift. It remains to be seen if the Philippine-spec models will come with the new transmissions.

We've reached the halfway point of the 2015 NFL season and the Dallas Cowboys are nowhere near where they were last year.
Thanks to injuries suffered by Tony Romo and Dez Bryant, the Cowboys find themselves currently sitting on a 2-5 record that probably means they can only lose two more times this season in order to have any chance of winning the NFC East and reach the post-season.
Correct Decision
However, despite those injuries to key men and Joseph Randle being cut, the Cowboys still made the right move in letting DeMarco Murray walk out of the franchise in free agency.

With Dallas hosting Murray and the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend in a divisional matchup, a lot is going to be made of the fact that the running back is returning to the team that let him go after having one of the best RB seasons of the past decade.
But, the Cowboys still made the right deal and will benefit from not having Murray on the roster more than they would if he was still there in Blue and White.
Murray Floundering
Murray has struggled badly in Philadelphia, being exposed by an offensive line that is nowhere near as good as the one on show at AT&T Stadium.
With 88 carries for just 307 yards and three touchdowns this season, DeMarco has been a massive letdown in Philly, struggling to even cement his starting spot in Chip Kelly's offense, with Ryan Mathews currently breathing down his neck.
The Cowboys, meanwhile, managed to snap up Dez Bryant for the long-term with the money they saved from letting Murray go.
And after Joseph Randle spectacularly flamed out of the organization, they have Darren McFadden in - who showed what he can do with 152 yards and a touchdown against the Giants - while costing a fraction of DeMarco Murray's asking price.

Look Ma, I'm an editor!
Tony Stavish, whose palette consisted of cool greys accented by warm yellows and reds.
Sarah Back.
gilded antlers from Branca, a linen sofa from Jayson Home and Garden, and a velvet Jonathan Adler bed... mmm mmm good.
Deb Reinhart. She used fun, young colors - lime, fuschia, and teal - and transformed them into a sophisticated bedroom haven for the Glencoe Show House this past season. It was definitely a challenge pulling product in these colors that had a more traditional yet rustic style, but I'm really pleased with how it came out.
So that's that. Three and a half years of journalism school and two years of blogging, and I can officially add Editor to my LinkedIn profile. : )
But in all seriousness, I've said it once and I'll say it again, I am so grateful to have had this wonderful opportunity and all the other experiences that have come my way since starting Live Creating Yourself. I couldn't have done it without all of your support. Thank you for coming back day after day and making LCY a part of your world. I hope I continue to improve and inspire.

Hull's Bruce excited by 'great' FA Cup draw
Hull City manager Steve Bruce hailed a "great draw" in the FA Cup semi-finals after seeing his side paired with Sheffield United.
Bruce's side beat Sunderland 3-0 at the KC Stadium on Sunday to seal just Hull's second ever appearance in the cup's final four.
Goals from Curtis Davies, David Meyler and Matt Fryatt did the damage for Hull - whose fans marked the final whistle with a pitch invasion.
With Arsenal and Manchester City also lurking in the semi-final draw, Bruce could hardly hide his excitement at drawing League One outfit United - who booked their Wembley date with a 2-0 home win over second-tier Charlton Athletic earlier in the day.
"It's a great draw," he told ITV.
"Sheffield United are on a perfect run, they've beat everyone in front of them.
"But we've got to be honest, Sheffield United will say same as us, you want to avoid the big boys.
"That's the magic of the cup, it won't disappear. You get to the big quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals and fans and managers alike enjoy the occasion."
Davies capped a magnificent performance with a thumping header for the first goal and Bruce reiterated his opinion that the former Birmingham City man would be deserving of a place at the FIFA World Cup with England later this year.
Bruce added: "For me, he's been outstanding all year and he's a proper defender.
"He gets you an odd goal, there's always a shock and we're short at centre-back so why can't it be him, because he's a fabulous defender."
Davies himself was delighted with the result, but firmly stated his sights were set on securing another win at Wembley against their fellow Yorkshire club.
He said: "The club never been to this level in the FA Cup and I've never been there personally so it's a good day but we want to go the final.
"(I) can't say I was expecting that (pitch invasion), it was interesting!
"But we've got to a semi and we're delighted to go to Wembley but you want to go to finals and you want to win the cup."

Iranian Revolutionary Guard Sanctioned
United States Sets Sanctions Against Iranian Revolutionary Guard
Revolutionary Guard, Quds Force targeted for proliferation, terrorist support
By David McKeeby
USINFO Staff Writer
25 October 2007
Washington -- Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is the target of a new set of U.S. sanctions against its support for international terrorism and role in proliferating weapons of mass destruction.
"These actions will help to protect the international financial system from the illicit activities of the Iranian government and they will provide a powerful deterrent to every international bank and company that thinks of doing business with the Iranian government," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said October 25.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who accompanied Rice, said the Iranian regime's ability to develop nuclear and ballistic missile programs relies on access to money from international commercial and financial systems.
"Iran also funnels hundreds of millions of dollars each year through the international financial system to terrorists. Iran's banks aid this conduct using a range of deceptive financial practices intended to evade even the most stringent risk management controls," Paulson said.
The sanctions represent the first time the United States has used financial pressure against another country's military. The action is regarded as the strongest set of sanctions the United States has implemented against the Iranian regime since sanctions were first applied almost 30 years ago.
Under presidential orders developed after September 11, 2001, the United States is freezing Revolutionary Guard Corps assets due to its role as a weapons proliferator, and assets of the corps' foreign operations arm, the Quds Force, for its support of terrorist attacks in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories and elsewhere.
Iran's Ministry of Defense and three of Iran's largest banks -- Bank Melli, Bank Mellat, and Bank Saderat -- also are subject to sanctions, as are individuals engaged in the regime's proliferation and terrorist support activities, Rice and Paulson said.
"The IRGC is so deeply entrenched in Iran's economy and commercial enterprises, it is increasingly likely that if you are doing business with Iran, you are doing business with the IRGC," Paulson said. "We call on responsible banks and companies around the world to terminate any business with Bank Melli, Bank Mellat, Bank Saderat, and all companies and entities of the IRGC."
The announcement comes as the U.N. Security Council deliberated a third set of sanctions against Iran. The United Kingdom, France and Japan are considering additional measures to convince the Iranian regime to accept a May 26 offer for improved relations with the United States and support for an internationally supervised civil nuclear energy program in exchange for its abandonment of its current enrichment program.
"If the Iranian government fulfills its international obligation to suspend its uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities, I will join my British, French, Russian, Chinese, and German colleagues and I will meet with my Iranian counterpart anytime, anywhere," Rice said.
"If Iran's rulers choose to continue down a path of confrontation, the United States will act with the international community to resist these threats of the Iranian regime," she added.
A transcript of remarks by Rice and Paulson is available on the State Department Web site.

What was previously known as the Santa Fe Sport is now just the Santa Fe, with its three row brother becoming the XL. Two engines are available to start, a 2.4-liter 4 cylinder offering 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, or a boosted 2.0-liter with 235hp and 82 lb-ft extra twist. A 2.2-liter diesel engine offering 190 hp will also be arriving at a later date. Both initial engine options drive the front wheels as standard through an 8-speed automatic, though all-wheel drive is available on both (and will also be an option on the diesel). The 2.4 is offered in SE, SEL, SEL Plus, Limited, and Ultimate trims, with the turbo model only available in Limited and Ultimate. Priced from $24,750 up to $35,600 for the Ultimate 2.0T, the Santa Fe is now a fully viable alternative to the likes of Jeep's Cherokee and Mazda CX-5.

It's tough being the underdog. Just ask Rocky before the Apollo Creed fight or Toyota before the mid 60s. It's a time in a person's or company's career when inertia and the dissenting forces of resistance make each step forward a grueling one. Where working harder and smarter, habitually staying in the office past closing time and optimizing every training mechanism or production procedure for perfection, is never enough. And then one day it all pays off. Removing the blinders of white-knuckled focus, that person or corporate entity finds itself somewhere near the summit of success and can afford a small celebration. Hyundai's invitation to Park City, Utah, to drive (previously called the Santa Fe Sport), could have been construed as just another first drive event.
But one could almost feel the celebration in the air, radiating from the corner where the Hyundai team sat, over the fact that the Santa Fe proves that Hyundai has survived a multi-generational onslaught from competition and become a respected automaker—no longer just the barrel's bottom budget pick. Before we got a chance to drive the redesigned Santa Fe, Hyundai sent a short video clip to every journalist in attendance, highlighting the crossover's technical features.
The video mentioned nothing out of the ordinary. It touched on the standard eight-speed automatic, the engine options—a 2.0-liter turbo-four making 235 ponies and a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder pushing out 185 horsepower as well as a —and an optional predictive torque-vectoring AWD system called HTRAC that can be had on all trims regardless of the chosen engine. It also and made a brief mention of the 8 safety features installed as standard including a forward collision assist system that applies the brakes in emergencies, blind spot collision avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, rear cross-traffic avoidance assist, safe exit assist to stop occupants from opening doors when parked against a curb with oncoming cars in the next lane, high beam assist, smart cruise control with stop and go, and a driver attention warning.
Nothing in this list is something the world hasn't seen before, but among the many things the Santa Fe does well is to prove that a car is much more than the sum of its parts and features. They are the sum of the care, passion, a lust for quality, proclivity for value, and the spirit of competition behind them.
It doesn't take a video to prove the 2019 Santa Fe has all that, you can tell just by looking at the thing. The cascading grille and those thin LED slits sandwiched between front fenders and a flattened hammerhead hood are proof that Hyundai is approaching the game with the eyes of an underdog who's quickly becoming the incumbent.
Replacing the third-generation Santa Fe Sport that debuted in 2013 (the larger 7-seat SUV that used to be called the Santa Fe is ), the 2019 Santa Fe guns for the hearts and minds of customers who viewed the previous crossover's aesthetic as too soft and too plain. Designers emboldened the 2019 model by pushing the headlights sitting below the thin daytime running lights apart, allowing the grille to grow to intimidating proportions. With a lower and flatter belt line providing greater visibility for cabin occupants while squaring off the greenhouse's side profile, the Santa Fe's frame appears to sit over the wheels as if it were on the prowl—like a jockey waiting for the starter gun to go off rather than a minivan with bad posture.
Bulged wheel arches and abrupt right angles at the front and rear help the Santa Fe ditch the gradual slopes that made the pervious model look timid. All the design team had to do at the rear was slim the taillights, tie them together with a strip of chrome similar to how the daytime running lights up front are joined, and add chrome accents to the body.
The changes aren't just visual. Wheelbase has been widened by 2.6-inches and total length is up 2.8-inches while height and width have increased by 0.6-inches and 0.4-inches, respectively. Having hydrated ourselves with the copious amounts of water it takes to keep a body functioning at 8,100 feet above sea level, we stepped outside to a windy Park City morning and into one of the dozen Santa Fes that Hyundai let us choose from.
Inside, the cabin greets with the glamour of fine materials and the fresh breath of a clean ergonomic layout. Though our hands could hardly stop touching the soft and expensive-feeling beige headliner, they eventually found their way to the starter button of our Quartz White Santa Fe Ultimate. The engine came to life, an event we only learned about by watching for the tachometer blip.
The first thing to notice about the Santa Fe, aside from the h, feature-laden interior that feels like it broke out of the Genesis department's design studio and hitched a ride on one of the Santa Fes in the parking lot, is the noise level inside the cabin. Or rather, the lack of it. Bounding around Utah's dirt-covered backroads and passing through small towns where residents buy RVs as room additions to their houses rather than as transportation for their golden years, the Santa Fe keeps passengers from getting jostled by the hostilities of the outside world. Credit for making the Santa Fe feel like a luxury car should go to the engineering team. By sealing holes, utilizing acoustic glass, and adding extra sound-absorbing material, they managed to give the Santa Fe an eerily quiet cabin.
The ride is smooth too, an attribute brought about by stiffening the chassis and reducing weight through the use of high-strength steel. Rounding out the package is a thoroughly reworked suspension that increases comfort through new bushings and a taller shock absorbers (a trick enabled by mounting them upright as opposed to having them sit at an angle like in the Santa Fe Sport).
Trying to break grip was near impossible on the road and a challenge in the dirt because of HTRAC's ability to prevent slipping wheels rather than just react to them. The system is versatile as it is, reserving the right to shift power around to each of the four wheels and sending as much as 50% of the engine's torque to the rear if necessary. But rather than wait for a wheel to slip, HTRAC tries to predict when it will happen by plugging over 50 signal inputs into an algorithm that then returns its best guess as to when and where a loss of traction will occur.
At that point, HTRAC adjusts torque so the Santa Fe keep clawing the road with assurance. The drive route Hyundai selected for us involved crossing mountain ranges, both paved and unpaved. When going up a steep road, we found it best to get out of Comfort mode and into Sport (or just wait for Hyundai's Smart mode to determine that aggression is what you want out of the powertrain). Off-road climbing is different, requiring the rear differential to be locked, which turnis the Santa Fe into a willing and capable conquer of bad lands.
Trips back down the mountain proved to be just as fun thanks to a revised steering rack. Turning off the automatic steering assist and taking a more liberal approach to speed limits reveals a chassis that enjoys play and would be more engaging if the suspension weren't geared towards lulling infants to sleep. Speaking of infants, Hyundai thought of them during the Santa Fe's redesign, too.
Available for SEL Plus trims and up is a new form of rear-seat alert system that could save lives, both human and animal. A watchful ultrasonic sensor mounted over the rear seats scans for movement and if it detects some once the driver has left the vehicle, it'll sound the alarm and send a Blue Link alert to a connected driver's smartphone.
As with the rest of the Hyundai lineup, choosing options for the Santa Fe involves picking a trim level that includes the desired features rather than ticking off boxes on a list. Though the base SE starts at $26,480 including destination, the Santa Fe can be had in four other trim levels including SEL, SEL Plus, Limited, and the range-topping Ultimate trim that goes for $36,430 including destination.
The price ceiling comes in at $39,780 including destination for those who opt for a Santa Fe Ultimate and equip it with the $1,650 2.0-liter turbo (only available for Limited and Ultimate trims) and $1,700 HTRAC system.
This, of course, means you get the whole enchilada: a panoramic sunroof, two-tone leather seating surfaces, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a navigation system (though Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard across the entire lineup if you'd rather just use your favorite mapping app), rain-sensing wipers, a heads-up display, surround view monitor system, a wireless charging pad, LED fog lights, dual zone climate control, ventilated front seats (seat heat comes standard on all trims except SL), an 8-way adjustable driver's seat, four USB ports, and quite a bit more. The array of extras loaded onto the Santa Fe is truly dizzying.
In the past, bloated standard feature lists and unbeatable warranty policies were how Hyundai stood out from the competition and made headway into the US market, but that kind of knockout value proposition is no longer necessary, as the 2019 Santa Fe goes to show. Hyundai has been in the big leagues for some time now, putting up a good fight across many segments but always giving the W to Toyota or Honda.
The 2019 Santa Fe is something else entirely—cut from the same cloth but stitched to such high standards of refinement that reverse sticker shock threatens to become a real thing. The fact that Hyundai made it luxury car good and still kept the same focus on building a machine with a high value proposition doesn't necessarily spell out Japan's death knell, if such a thing will ever it happen. It does, however, prove that Korea has what it takes to challenge its island neighbor with the equal amounts of ferocity and intensity and possibly even win.
Unfortunately, the crown tends to go to the best seller, and public perception will likely prevent the Santa Fe from unseating Honda and Nissan as the segment's leaders. But like just like drivers of the Mazda CX-5, those smart enough to shop around will soon encounter the Hyundai dealership, where they will realize that the opinions of sheeple aren't always correct.

A description of the asceticism of yeshiva bochurim at the Pressburg Yeshiva in a Protestant journal from New York in 1842
13 comments:
פת במלח תאכל ואל הארץ תישן...ReplyDelete
The rumor was that the דברי חיים nailed his Peyos to the wall behind him so when he drifted off, he would be harshly awakened. Don't know whether this is true, but they don't make these things up about anyone living today.Replies
Some rumor that is. Doesn't sound that much his type. The classic version of that story - mentioned in MANY seforim - is about the Maharsha who grew his hair long (there's a portrait of him in the beg. of R' R. Margulies' bio on the Maharsha) to be able to tie the hair to some pegs in a wall to keep him from dowsing off.Delete
However, the only place I've seen a similar story (actually like the one you quote) is of the Maharsham told over by his grandson in the beg. of the Techeiles Mordechai (newer ed.) who tied his peyos instead.
Did you ever see this rumor in writing or only heard it?
Totally fascinating. I love the description of the "strength of character" needed "to break away from the the trammels and fetters of his Rabbinic education; from that nightmare of Talmudic absurdity... and learn to move freely and rejoicingly in the fields of free inquiry and scientific investigation". Classy.ReplyDelete
And the biography of Gesenius is equally fascinating! Especially the part on Robinson's view of Gesenius' rationalism:
"Still more deeply to be regretted, both as it regards himself personally and also his wide-spread influence as an interpreter of the Scriptures, were the defects of his character in a religious respect. In his early years he was thrown by circumstances into the ranks of those who then bore the name of rationalists; and he appears never to have felt a sufficient personal interest in the subject, to give it a subsequent examination, or attempt to disabuse his mind from its early bias".

While natural light is an essential part of a working environment, excessive sun exposure can have a negative impact on your employees, customers and the building itself. Whether you operate your business from a permanent or mobile location, it is important that you have adequate sun protection.
Save On Maintenance
As any building owner will know buildings have a continued maintenance cost. Continued sun exposure can wear exterior paint, discolour timber and damage exposed plastic. To prevent the building materials from wearing due to sun exposure it is a great idea to install shading. There are many different kinds of shading options available including: umbrellas, awnings, shade sails and patio roofs, although one of the most effective is fabric shading. Fabric shading structures are lightweight easy to install and can either be permanent or temporary. If you do not have any shade for your business and are looking for a quick and easy solution it might be a good idea to consider fabric shade structures. Visit Fabric Solutions Australia to see a range of option of architectural fabric shading structures.
Save On Air-Conditioning
Sustainability and energy saving are important considerations for every business. All buildings have to cope with solar heat gain. Solar heat gain is how hot the walls and consequently the building gets when it is exposed to the sun. As a result, the building needs air-conditioning to keep the occupants cool. Air-conditioning is a huge expense for any business and the easiest way to cut down on this cost is to shade the walls of your buildings. Shade drastically lowers indoor temperatures and reduces the need for air-conditioning.
Employee And Customer Comfort
Building occupant comfort is vital to maintaining a productive and health work place. Natural light is important for the health of the occupants of the building however thermal heat gain can make a building extremely uncomfortable. To adjust for the excess heat air-conditioning is necessary to keep it comfortable. Although shading will not remove the need for air-conditioning it will decrease how much air conditioning is required to keep your building comfortable.
Outdoor Business Essential
If you have an outdoor business, shading is of extreme importance. If you are working or serving customers outdoors, shading will keep your customers both cool and comfortable. Customers will seek out shade on a hot day and therefore if you cannot provide shade it is likely that you will lose customers. On a hot day, shade for your customers is about more than just comfort, without adequate shading people unfamiliar with sun safety might receive too much sun exposure. Excess sun exposure can cause health risks ranging from sunburn, to sunstroke, and in some cases skin cancer.
It is best practice for buildings that are in hot environments to be designed with some sort of shading, but unfortunately shading is often compromised on because of the added construction cost. If your business is looking to cut down on energy cost, keep your customers comfortable or provide undercover areas, shading is your answer. While it might cost you in the short term, it will save you in the long run.

ORANGE – Motorists are expected to get a widened Garden Grove (22) Freeway on time – at an increased cost.
Orange County Transportation Authority officials intend to spend an extra $22.7 million to ensure that 28 freeway bridges are sufficiently strengthened to meet earthquake standards while still meeting a Nov. 30 deadline to complete a half-billion-dollar widening project.
The OCTA recently determined the cost for the seismic safeguards, and a committee Monday took the first step toward paying the bill.
Other localized improvements to the freeway, such as rubberized asphalt and improved signs, will increase the price of the project about $32 million, pushing the total cost up from $495 million to $549.6 million.
The OCTA has been determining the final cost of improving 28 of the freeway's 35 bridges to meet upgraded state seismic guidelines. The state Department of Transportation demanded in September 2004 that stronger bridges be built, just as construction was beginning.
"It's really irritating to have Caltrans come to us with this a week after we started," Carolyn Cavecche, an Orange councilwoman and OCTA board member, said Monday. "There's not much we can do. We fixed it."
Cavecche was on an OCTA committee that voted unanimously Monday to increase spending. The full board will consider the increased cost next Monday.
A Caltrans official said the agency worked as quickly as it could when it required the changes.
It was given a geotechnical report from the OCTA's construction firm on Sept. 9, 2004, according to Caltrans spokeswoman Pam Gorniak, then reviewed it and returned a report 18 days later saying that the bridges had to be built to withstand a magnitude-7.0 quake on the San Joaquin Hills fault. The previous standard had required building for a magnitude-6.6 quake.
Caltrans provided its answer "as expeditiously" as possible, Gorniak said.
When Caltrans informed OCTA in 2004 about the needed changes, the bridges were partially designed and construction crews were beginning a strict 800-day schedule to widen the 22.
Rick Grebner, overseeing the 22 project for the OCTA, said that $5 million of the additional cost is going toward materials; that expense would have been necessary even if the agency had known from the beginning to design for the higher standard, he said.
But $17.8 million of the quake-related improvements is for the extra labor costs and equipment it will take to get the bridges completed by Nov. 30.
Grebner said that slowing down the project wouldn't save money: The construction firm would have been due penalties if the project were delayed.
Said Supervisor Lou Correa, who is also an OCTA board member: "Public safety – you've got to go out and do it."

The Challenge
Underground Visionaries is a startup in the high-fashion clothing space. I was hired in 2013 to help create a website that can stand out, but at the same time blend in, with other popular high-end fashion brands.
My Role
My role involved researching the high fashion industry, creating the shopping experience, developing brand identity, and aligning the brand's visual appeal with its competitors. I drew inspiration for Underground Visionaries from luxury fashion labels such as Common Projects, Comme-de-Garsons, and Yves Saint Laurent.
Brand Development
Researching websites with similar products gave me some surprising insight: minimalism is heavy in the industry. The stakeholders and I decided that we wanted minimalism to be as much of a product as their clothing. The advantage was two-fold: create a brand identity that blends in, but use the white space to highlight the product.
Mental Mapping
To develop the key features of the website, I wanted to know what the users' needs were. I asked a few potential clients what their thought process would be if they were to go to shop for new clothing. This flowchart was the end result after taking the feedback into consideration:
Early Sketches and Wireframe
The clients had a vague idea of how they wanted the website to look. This allowed me to focus on product presentation and user experience. My goal was to create an experience that allows the user to be as comfortable using the website as they are using a magazine.
Too Much Minimalism
From early user feedback, we found that the issue with minimalism was that it made the website can seem skeletal and bland. I used font weight to my advantage to accentuate important details by making them larger, and used contrasting bold type and thin type to accentuate different objects. Then, I used motion to highlight user actions to create a layer of interactivity.
Ta da!
When the user goes on the main page their attention is guided to only 3 elements: the logo, the menu, and a preview of the clothing. The menu animates as the user hovers over it, providing an extra layer of interaction.
When designing the lookbook, I wanted it the user to. By creating a series of "peeking" images, the user knows if there are more images. The main photo will take up the majority of the screen space automatically.
The catalog page was created to reduce the amount of clicking and moving the user has to do. I used a never-ending scroll feature to make shopping seamless. There is also an animation for filtering categories. When a user adds an item, the cart is updated and the user can "peek" at what they added. The cart page has more options, and payment/shipping is done all on one page. I used a Woocommerce backend to set up the shop and customized the experience using CSS and minimal Javascript.
Lessons Learned
If I were to approach the project again using the knowledge I have now, I would innovate to create a more intuitive shop using swipe gesture controls for touch, drag-and-drop for laptops and desktops. I would also like to have seen some parallax integrated into the design, preferrably the lookbook, some sketches of which I drafted below. Throughout the project, I learned how to create better information architechture using minimal design, discovered how reliable and strong a user's mental map can be to the flow of a website.
Underground Visionaries has evolved into a gender-neutral clothing line called Openism.

The 2010 12U 50/70 Division Cal Ripken Tourney for Central Mass. is now wrapped up with the Littleton Tiger All-Stars being knocked out before the finals after several well-played games.
Friday's game vs. Groton was a 6-5 win for Littleton thanks to a walk-off home run by Cole A. Mikey P. pitched for 5 innings and collected the Win in a good defensive game against the local rivals. Saturday featured a double-header with games against Douglas and Sutton. Douglas won the first game in a 7-0 shut-out. Littleton came back vs. Sutton with a 6-5 nail-biter win in which Sutton held the lead into the 5th inning. This win put Littleton solidly in 2nd Place in the Tourney. Sunday offered another double-header with games against Uxbridge and Milford. The Uxbridge game was a heart-breaker, with Littleton losing 7-3 after holding a 3-2 lead into the 6th inning. This loss knocked Littleton to 3rd Place and out of contention for the Finals. The last pool play game was against the dominant 1st Place Milford team which summarily took command of the game and defeated Littleton 16-0 in 4 innings.
Overall a combination of inconsistent hitting and costly fielding errors (both physical and mental) served to hold the Tigers back in a couple of games, but the boys had fun and played well which is all that matters. As with AAU, it is clear that teams that can draw from a large talent pool either due to geography or town size will always have an advantage. The key is to play with heart and not take the outcome too seriously. While it is always more fun to win, playing ball well is the most important thing.
Stay tuned for the Western Mass. State Championship in two weeks when these teams will have one more shot at each other before all the boys say good-bye to junior baseball and face a new adventure growing into the full-sized diamond.

Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust still requires improvement and should remain in special measures, according to the Care Quality Commission's chief inspector of hospitals.
Professor Sir Mike Richards has recommended the trust should remain in special measures for a further six months.
It was placed into special measures by Sir Bruce Keogh, following an inspection by his team last year, after concerns were raised about mortality rates and standards of care.
The CQC's latest round of inspections took place from 24 to 25 April and 6 and 7 May.
"We are disappointed that Sir Mike Richards has recommended we stay in special measures"
Chris Wood
The trust's Samuel Johnson Community Hospital in Lichfield was rated as "good". But Sir Robert Peel Community Hospital in Tamworth and Queen's Hospital in Burton were rated as "requires improvement".
At Queen's Hospital medical care was rated as "inadequate", while accident and emergency, surgery, critical care, services for children and young people, end of life care and outpatients were all rated as "requires improvement".
Surgery at Robert Peel Community Hospital and medical care at Samuel Johnson Community Hospital were rated as "requires improvement".
Overall the trust was rated as "requires Improvement", according to the CQC's report published on Tuesday.
Improvements needed included ensuring all staff were appropriately trained and that staffing levels were reviewed in areas where standards were not being met. In addition, the CQC said the pathway for end of their life care needed review.
Inspectors noted some areas of very good practice at the trust including maternity services, which was recognised as providing excellent care.
Sir Mike said: "We saw that staff at Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust had been working over the last year to make improvements, but clearly the trust still has some way to go before it reaches the required standard.
"I hope that, in six-month's time, the trust will be able to demonstrate enough improvement to review this again," he said.
Trust chair Chris Wood said: "All our staff work exceptionally hard, consistently putting in extra effort to provide excellent patient care. We are disappointed that Sir Mike Richards has recommended we stay in special measures for a further six months.
"The board and I are do not believe that the CQC report fully reflects the hard work of our staff, their dedication to providing the best, safe, compassionate care for our patients and the culture of always improving and learning," he said.
Readers' comments (1)
I have to say that I have been a nurse for 25 years, and my dad was recently in Burton hospital following a cardiac arrest and hypoxic brain injury. I was distressed and dissapointed with the "care" he received. I was hugely relieved when he was transferred to Derby. I am sure there are some pockets of good practice in Burton as with most organisations, but sadly I didnt see that during his long period as an inpatient. I came across 2 maybe 3 people who showed compassion, and out of the numerous people involved in his care in 6 weeks this was appalling. I can certainly see why they are in special measures.

Late Breaking News! The presses are still cooling down following the news that the Government's Home & Communities Agency (HCA) has approved a £2 million boost to help the Brimscombe Port redevelopment get under way. The investment will be used to make the former port a viable development site for housing, shops and other recreational uses.
For a fuller story please go to http://goo.gl/E5ypde
Hello and welcome to ENews 2015-07. The headlines for this issue:
Updates on 1A show progress,
A problem at Wallbridge to fix.
You gotta be in it to win it,
Find out more with just a few clicks.
Stroud canals were honoured in London,
For the restoration to date.
Val is our Marathon Lady,
Please sponsor her, it's not too late.
Forty-five benches now installed,
Along the canals in our stretch.
The Logging Team's still very busy,
Could do with some more wood to fetch.
My thanks to SDC's Dave Marshall & to CCT's Les Morris (re Ham Mill Lock) for the following updates on progress with Phase 1A of the restoration.
Lodgemore Bridge: The contract for fabricating and installing a new lift bridge here has been awarded to ECS Engineering Services, based at Sutton-in-Ashfield, Notts. Unlike previous bridge contracts, the company will make the bridge and oversee the installation, rather than vice versa. Work should be starting almost immediately.
Wallbridge Lower Lock: First – the good news. With the help of visiting Waterway Recovery Group work camps, brickwork repairs are well underway. Around one third of the defective brickwork on the towpath side has been replaced already. Removal of defective brickwork on the offside has started, work has also begun on creating ladder recesses. A scheme has been prepared to shore up the failed wall at the bottom of the lock; this will permit removal of the old building. We are currently talking to contractors, as this is a fairly specialised job.
Second – the not-so-good news. Overnight on 18th August, water found its way under the concrete cill beneath the stop planks and emptied the pound above the lock. The sudden drop in level caused the bank on the towpath side to collapse into the canal. Fortunately, the area was already closed to the public. We are now working urgently with our engineer, the Environment Agency and contractors to find a robust permanent solution to this problem.
Bowbridge Lock: Lock gates were installed here on 18th August. Remaining work largely involves making good the surfaces either side of the lock, including the towpath. A major task is the rebuilding of the walls between the lock and the bridge; work on the towpath side is already underway.
Ham Mill Lock: Cotswold Canals Trust volunteers continue to make excellent progress with this lock. The chamber is complete and gated; remaining work is taking place above and below the lock. Above the lock, stop planks are in place and the old concrete dam is being removed, enabling stone/brickwork to be repaired. The spill weir, which controls the canal's level, has been repaired, thanks to the adjacent landowner allowing access. Below the lock, stop plank grooves are being installed and brickwork and coping stones repaired to enable reprofiling of the towpath under the bridge. A solution is still being sought for the problem of the bridge offside wing wall which has failed, with a high bank above it. On the offside, fencing has been installed, the retaining wall around the lower gate completed and the lockside levelled and topsoil spread to allow grass to be sown.
The 300 Club October Draw took place at the Saul Junction Visitor Centre recently with the winners selected by Maggie Taylor, a volunteer at the Centre with over 10 years' service.
The prize fund this time round totalled £1063 and the 1st prize of £636 went to Mr S Hake of Wootton-under-Edge; Mrs J Saitch of Stroud picked up the 2nd prize of £318 and the lucky winner of the 3rd prize of £109 was Mr D N Harvey of Llandrindod Wells.
The 300 Club is the Trust's lottery and draws take place every January, April, July and October. The Club is open to all members of the CCT who can join at any time during the year. Annual subscription is £15 per stake and a member may hold up to 4 stakes; further information can be found on the Three Hundred Club page of the CCT website at www.cotswoldcanals.com
The restored waterway between Stonehouse and Bowbridge came top of the Restoration and Historic Environment Category of the 2015 Living Waterways Awards.
This prestigious national competition is run by the Canal & River Trust and the ceremony was held in London at The Church House Conference Centre Westminster. Living Waterways Awards are intended to recognise the most inspiring and exciting waterway-based improvement projects across the UK. The judges come from the environmental, engineering, architecture and regeneration sectors.

The Cotswold Canals Trust is now leading a £15 million bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund, which, if successful, will lead to the next stage – restoration of the canal between Stonehouse and Saul Junction. Stroud District Council is working closely with the Trust in support of the bid. In the light of this Cotswold Canals Trust Vice Chair Jim White commented "This nationally recognised award really could not have occurred at a better time coming, as it does, so near to the submission of the Heritage Lottery Fund bid being prepared by CCT's Val Kirby and her team."
Not only is Val involved in all the paperwork associated with the 1B bid as mentioned above – she's also taking part in the Bristol to Bath marathon that's being held on the 25th October, to raise funds for the restoration!
The Cotswold Canals Trust is committed to raising a further £5 million in its own right. We already know where some of that £5 million will come from, but quite a bit more will be needed to 'top up the pot' as it were. Every little helps, every pound will make a difference. If you would like to support Val in her endeavours then please visit her 'Just Giving' page at https://www.justgiving.com/Val-Kirby
There's more information about Val and the event itself at http://goo.gl/1vAYCA
The Bench Installation Team led by CCT Western Depot stalwart Mike Langford has recently installed another canalside bench, this latest one can be found adjacent to Wallbridge Upper Lock. That brings to 45 the number of benches that have been installe
d so far since Vice Chairman Jim White had the initial idea for this project back in 2012.
The benches are built using a recycled water resistant hardwood known as Greenheart. The timber is reclaimed from shipping wharves undergoing refurbishment around UK coastal installations. So far a total of 45 benches have been installed.
For further information about Mike's work and about the project itself, go to http://goo.gl/mxyeGF
Demand for the Log Delivery Service operating out of the Trust's Western Maintenance Depot continues unabated – and that's great news for the Trust's coffers.
The small but dedicated Team has achieved over 750 sales since the idea was first mooted back in November 2012 and will have raised the somewhat staggering sum of just under £83,000 once all the orders currently outstanding have been delivered. Running costs and other overheads have been minimal in comparison, thanks in the main to the raw material being sourced from a combination of members, tree surgeons and of course the restoration itself – at no cost to the CCT.
The Team is always on the lookout for new sources of supply, so if you are having a tree felled and would like to donate the wood to charity then please contact the Logman (i.e. me) via the website, by email at email@example.com or by phoning 07940 566758.
There is a Branch (ouch) Office at Eastern Maintenance Depot, Eisey that looks after customers in the east of our patch. Both divisions will deliver within an approximate 20-mile radius of their respective bases, route (ouch again) all enquiries through the website, please.
Further information about the service can be found on the Log Sales & Deliveries pages of the CCT website, see http://goo.gl/PYBdIL
The first edition of ENews went out over 9 years ago, way back in April 2006, and I have issued a total of 191 editions since then. (This is No. 192.) It was started with the express objective of trying to improve communication between the Cotswold Canals Trust and its members, volunteers and supporters.
ENews runs in tandem with the members' long-established quarterly magazine 'The Trow' and latterly with the Trust's social media channels via Twitter & Facebook. It has the potential to reach a wider audience and can be used as a conduit for promulgating exciting news and developments more or less as and when they occur. (Witness the 'Breaking News' at the top of this issue.) Each issue currently lands in something like 4,500 Inboxes.
This will be the last edition for a while as I have been advised that the Trust's governing body, Trust Council, has decided to undertake a review of the Trust's current communications strategy. This is potentially good news, because as I mentioned in the last issue it is proving increasingly difficult for me to research sufficient stories of interest for publication in the time I have available to devote, not only to ENews but to my volunteer activities within the Cotswold Canals Trust as a whole. It is also important to remember the old adage that, to be successful, any form of communication must be a two-way exercise!
A few thoughts that spring to mind for you to consider:
– What do you think of the current ENews format?
– What, if anything, needs changing?
– Is there anything you would like to see included on a regular basis, assuming the information is readily available?
– Has ENews outlived its usefulness because of the growth in popularity of social media?
– Should ENews continue in some shape or form because not all of us use (or in some cases even like, maybe) social media?
If you have views on these or any other considerations on the future of ENews please email me on firstname.lastname@example.com and I will see that your comments are passed on to Trust Council to hopefully assist them with their review process.
So it's goodbye from me………

Friday market
Spring flowers were everywhere on my local market today. These narcissi smell ridiculously sweet, filling the car with their scent, and now the house, too.
I bought more flowers than usual, as I am doing a photo shoot for the local magazine on Sunday, and I want to add a flavour of spring to our pictures.
I do love this Friday market, especially when the sun shines and everybody is out and about. The little shops in the town centre are busy and bustling, just as they should be. The charity shops were bursting at the seams so I didn't expect to make any finds, but my foraging had surprisingly good results. These vintage bird books are beautiful:
Now, I know I am getting quite geeky about old children's books but I have noticed that some other bloggers appreciate them, too.
And does anyone remember Mary Plain?
Finally, I could not leave this old lace tablecloth behind. It was only a couple of pounds and there is so much work in it, it had to come with me.
I am using lots of pastel coloured, Easter themed vintage props in my photo session on Sunday, so I'll take plenty of snaps and will report back soon.

"Do I need counseling?"
Probably. Life is a journey and there are moments when we could all use a little help navigating the terrain.
So, is counseling for you? If you're in the middle of personal or relational struggle, YES. If you're confused and questioning, YES. If you're hurting or stuck, YES. If your family isn't familiar anymore, YES. If life seems unmanageable, YES.
If you're ready for your life to change, the answer is YES.

From the Chicago Sun Times
Philadelphia, PA.
'Philadelphia prosecutors have rested after five weeks of evidence against an abortion provider charged with killing a patient and seven babies. The move comes after a whistleblower said she saw more than 10 babies breathe before they were killed at Dr. Kermit Gosnell's Clinic. Witness Kareema Cross also saw three babies move limbs and fourth made a sound. "
In this writer's opinion, it stands the reason why of more proof that we have to over turn Roe V. Wade and how anyone who may really go along with this stuff and feel it is right makes me dumb struck!

Download CCleaner 2017 Setup.exe / .dmg (Offical Link)
Download CCleaner 2017 Setup.exe / .dmg (Offical Link) -There's no lack of tuneup utilities are made for Windows devices-- yet exactly what regarding Macs? Apple computers call for tightening up, also. The free CCleaner aims to clean your OS X system (version 10.5 and also better) by taking care of cookies (littles data made use of to track your Internet browsing activity), fixing approvals, and liberating hard disk room. CCleaner functioned as promoted in my examinations, boosting system performance, redeeming GB, and assisting shield on the internet privacy, yet it really did not enhance the total system efficiency as well as other applications we've examined.
Download CCleaner 2017 Setup.exe / .dmg (Offical Link)Starting
CCleaner 2017 showcases a straightforward grey as well as white user interface that presents the variation number as well as your Mac's system specifications (OS variation, CPU, RAM) across the top, in addition to three vertically-aligned icons in the left column: CCleaner 2017 for pc, Equipment, and also Options. Tapping any one of the symbols begins the cleaning encounter. "Alternatives" is where you dabble with cookies from the various Website that you have actually seen. A site's cookie is detailed in the left pillar ("Cookies To Remove") by default, but should you intend to maintain them, you could move them to the ideal pillar ("Cookies to Keep") by highlighting a cookie and clicking the suitable directional arrow secret. Getting rid of the cookies is as basic as clicking the erase button.
"Devices" is the method whereby you Uninstall programs. You do this by highlighting an app icon as well as clicking "Uninstall." You can also Repair Approvals (when access rights are damaged) and also Get rid of Freespace (which creates data over extra room, avoiding spying eyes from digging up removed files with data recovery software application). These alternatives typically aren't well defined; the function summaries utilize dense language which might create confusion amongst informal users.
The meat of CCleaner is "CCleaner 2017 offline installer," which allows you scrub the system and also eliminate scrap documents. Clicking "Evaluate" triggers the app to check your Mac's hard disk drive as well as return a record specificing the number of data located as well as their sizes. CCleaner returned almost 4,000 junk files when I ran the protocol, which the program gotten rid of after I clicked "Remove." It was super-simple.
Limited Efficiency Improvements
I tested CCleaner's ability to whip a Mac back right into shape by doing 3 examinations-- running the Geekbench (a set of benchmarks designed to gauge CPU as well as memory performance), gauging boot times, and also moving a 1.1 GB folder of mixed media to external storage-- before as well as after running the software application to contrast the computer system's strength. Each examination was run 3 times as well as balanced. Before CCleaner scrubbed the system, the 1.83-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Mini with 1GB of RAM, and also 80GB hard disk drive accomplished a 2,540 Geekbench score, started in 56.7 seconds, and also transferred the 1.1 GB folder in 1 min and 27 secs.
There wasn't much system performance improvement after running CCleaner in terms of GeekBench numbers. Actually, the GeekBench score didn't move-- it stayed specifically the exact same. That said, the boot time reduced to simply 49.2 seconds, the data transfer speed went down to 1 minute as well as 8 secs, and also the application recovered over 3GB of hard drive area.
Should You Utilize CCleaner?
If you're seeking to offer your OS X laptop or desktop a chance of new life, CCleaner is a solid option. It's totally free, easy to use, and also most significantly, effective. Its GeekBench performance was a bust, and 2 poorly-defined attributes could trigger you to speak with Google for descriptions, but do not let that quit you from downloading this OS X energy.
