Friday, October 22, 2010
When she mentioned last spring that her boys were part of a Writing Club that creates the school newspaper, I got really excited. You see, as much as I enjoy writing, my graphic design work is what helps pay the bills. But a school newspaper combines so many of the things that I love: writing, design and working with kids.
I put together a proposal for the school where my kids attend and I substitute teach. The principal thought it was a great idea and starting next month, I'll be leading a Writing Club for 3rd through 6th grade. I've been making my lesson plans, figuring out what topics we need to cover and looking for fun ways to get kids excited about writing. Best of all, they're actually paying me to do this! Woo-hoo!!
That's what I'm thankful for today. What about you? Got any good news to share?

I used to be in media, now mum to two boys 5 and 7, run a bookshop in a little community, and do some freelance online work. Just read your post above - two weeks ago, I started running an online magazine club at the local primary school - unpaid though ;)
We're doing a mix of media and the kids are really enthusiastic. Will keep you posted. Bernadine

The Student Ticket Subsidy (STS) grant program provides funds for Tennessee public schools to experience a broad variety of artistic disciplines, cultural opportunities, and artists. Teachers and Principals are encouraged to apply for up to $3,000 per Title 1 school. As an approved arts organization, the following Art 120 programs are available:
• ArtCarAVan Art 120 brings two artists to work in your school for a day. Artists discuss the mediums used, and share what motivated them to create art. Students see the artwork up close, ask questions, learn about the process, and are encouraged to value their own creativity. Teachers have the opportunity to integrate the activity in with their own curriculum.
• Urban Art Bike Program Design and build a fully functional kinetic sculpture with your class, (aka: "Art Car"). Students will broaden their artistic access, deepen learning as they integrate other educational disciplines into their art such as engineering and math. Art 120 will provide a bicycle for your class, create a gameplan with you after the first brainstorming session, and organize on-site workshops tailored to your students' design. All work completed in time will have the opportunity to exhibit in the Scenic City Art Car Weekend.
Please Note: Funds are available on a first come, first serve basis. Teachers applying for funding need to be ready to register August 13th. Please make sure you have your login information ready, or register with the Tennessee Arts Commission if you are a first-time applicant. For details, visit the Tennessee Arts Commission main page at http://tnartseducation.org/ .
We are thrilled to announce that our recent cultural program has shared this international art form and the culture of Pakistan at seven events to date, reaching over 7,200 children and adults in the past six weeks. Be sure to look for us at the Mainx24 Parade on December 1st. A huge thanks to our friends in the Pakistan Community along with the Tennessee Arts Commission, Tennessee Valley Credit Union, The Creative Discovery Museum, ArtsBuild and The Chattanooga Children's Clinic for their support.
When children have the chance to learn about other cultures it deepens their understanding of the world, emboldens their sense of self and introduces them to the beauty of other cultures. Thirty-two schools in Hamilton County do not have a full time art program and until now, children in Hamilton County had to drive to Atlanta to view visual art from another country. Now, we have that opportunity and are poised to reach up to six schools this year but we need your help.
Every $150.00 tax deductible donation brings this interactive art and literacy program to a classroom in Hamilton County. Every $500 covers an entire grade level.
Select an option from the drop down list, click "Donate" below your selection, and you will be directed to our secure online Paypal account. Thank you for helping us reach more children in Hamilton County
How It Began
In September 2018, Art 120 and Creative Discovery Museum (CDM) partnered on a community art project with Haider Ali, CEO of Phool Patti, an art collective designed to bring the message of peace, love, harmony and respect across the globe through the traditional art of Pakistani Truck Painting. Mr. Ali is most known for his commissioned work with the Smithsonian Institute where he created an authentic Jingle Truck for their collection. While in Chattanooga, Mr. Ali transformed our school outreach truck into a traveling piece of art.
A huge thanks to our friends at The Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga, Maker Ed, and Red Bank Elementary for helping us test and develop this curriculum and buyer's advice for educators. Please feel free to download a pdf here: http://art120.org/steam-curriculum-and-buying-guide
Ever see a robot paint? Now you can! Thanks to support from The Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga, Art 120 has some exciting new programs coming to schools this fall. Art 120, Red Bank Elementary Librarian, Cristol Kapp and Maker Ed worked together to test a variety of STEM equipment and develop arts-based curriculum to foster learning by utilizing the elementary school students' creative side. In a county where thirty elementary schools do not have an art program, it is necessary to provide curriculum that addresses this need while preparing students for the future. Art 120's mission is to use art as a catalyst to, "Engage, Teach and Inspire".
At the conclusion of our project with The Communnity Foundation, we served 685 students, trained 11 teachers to use this curriculum and introduced these educational tools through hands-on learning to 250 Hamilton County teachers at the HCDE Engage event
As part of this program, our curriculum will be made available to ALL Hamilton County teachers on this website, beginning August 6th. We will also include the cost of materials and our experiences from the equipment we tested to help schools make smart choices about the STEM materials they choose to purchase for their schools.
If your school does not have a makerspace, Art 120 can bring these programs into your school. Art 120's SMAC truck (STEAM Mobile Art Car), has programs on board that allow students to: draw electrical art that blinks, create clay creatures that light up, build twelve foot tall structures, and teach robots to paint. Cost varies depending on the activity and are scalable to meet your schools' needs. To learn more, contact Kate Warren directly at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks to a grant from The Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga, Art 120 and The Howard School are expanding their partnership to provide real world learning experiences for eighty Howard students. This spring, twenty students from each grade will learn and execute a part of the Scenic City Art Car Weekend based on their career track. We are looking for businesses that are interested in meeting these youth and helping them as they grow their work experiences into a future career.
The Ten Career Tracks are:
STEM / VW eLab
Media Broadcasting
Work-Based Learning
Students will benefit from:
1) Talking and working with professionals from local businesses that help executethe event.
2) Obtaining real world experiences for their resume.
3) Receiving positive recognition for their work and their school.
4) Creating a project that will last after they graduate.
Students will learn:
1) How to talk with professionals in the career fields they are interested in.
2) How to apply the skills they are learning in their career track to an actual working event.
3) How to write an online resume, adding their skills and references as they complete the project.
What Does this Involve?
Your involvement can be as simple as talking about your career or company's job openings, taking a student's phone call about the art car weekend, or assist with hands-on learning at the school. Sponsors will be asked to provide their logo for students to print on marketing materials, or may have their business included in a video. If you are able to host an activity, during the event, the hands-on learning can occur onsite while the activity draws foot traffic into your business. For details, email: email@example.com.
Our Southside Maker Arts Center (SMAC) has evolved from a brick and mortar on the southside into a fleet of vehicles that can bring programs to any events, classrooms, recreation centers, or other groups where learning and fun go hand in hand. Introducing the new SMAC (STEM Mobile Arts Classroom). Programs include:
Childrens' Sculpture Park - Make and create on a large scale with these giant blocks, chutes, balls and objects. The full garden can handle twenty-five children at a time and provides creative play for hours. This is available for a daily rental fee and teachers are available for an additional charge. Perfect for primary grades (and adults too).
Sphero Paint Party - Spheros are sphere-shaped robots that roll on the floor to a user's commands. Art 120 takes this one step further by adding textures, paint, and a dozen Spheros for students to create and make their own artwork with. This program is great for groups ranging from 12-24 in size. All supplies are provided and an Art120 teacher will be on hand to assist. Primary to junior high.
Chibitronic Art - Create murals, cards or pictures that light up while learning about electronic circuitry. Our curriculum is customizable to accommodate up to twenty students and engage learners from 3rd grade through high school.
Squishy Circuit Light up Figures - First through third graders learn how to create conductive and non-conductive materials to create figures that can light up, blink and turn off or on. This is a great precursor to Chibitronic Art and can accommodate a large group of students.
Urban Art Bike Program - Our mobile classroom allows us to setup a three bay welding class anywhere. Learn to weld, use power tools and make fully rideable sculptures in this immersive class for ages 10 and up. This is a great add on for a workshop, class project or summer program.
Attention principals and teachers: Funding available through the Tennessee Arts Commission for Title 1 schools.

Loren has just graduated from Chattanooga High Center for Creative Arts and will soon be a student of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago this fall. She has always had a passion for art and mainly paints and draws, but is hoping to experiment with other mediums in college. She has also had the privilege to take art classes in Los Angeles during the Summer of 2016 and meet successful artists. Loren hopes her experience with Art 120 will help her choose what career path she wants to take when finished with college. Learn more about Loren on Art 120's About page!
"I know I want to pursue a career in the arts, maybe go into the fine arts, or become an illustrator, I'm not exactly sure about which specific pathway I want to go on, but I want it to involve art. After this experience though, I think I've come closer to making a decision about which career path I want to take, which is probably art education. I've always been doing traditional art such as 2 dimensional paintings and drawings, but my experience with Art 120 pushed me out of my comfort zone when I worked learned new skills such as welding, and turned around and taught it to middle school aged kids.
I've been interested in art since I can remember, but I only thought of pursuing it as a career when I was probably fifteen after touring some art schools with my grandma. I went to Center for Creative Arts since sixth grade as an art major, and finally graduated last May. But throughout seven years of going to an art school learning how to paint and draw was just not enough for me. I never felt like I was given the resources at that school to bring out my full potential. I really wanted something that would push and guide me into the direction I wanted to go in. Although CCA was a good school and taught me well, I couldn't help but feel like I was restricted. I needed something to expand my horizons. After my junior year in high school I decided to take summer classes at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. With the amazing teachers who pushed me and also took into consideration of what kind of art I wanted to make, I really felt like I blossomed as an artist. I still wanted to push myself even further, so I decided that working for Art 120 this summer would give me this challenge.
I discovered Art 120 through Step-up Chattanooga. I joined step-up because I needed something to occupy my time this summer and save up some money for myself when I go to college. Art 120 seemed like the perfect match that would also give me a challenge. Looking at the things Art 120 accomplished such as the art bikes and art cars really peaked my interest. The way how I saw that the artists could make something so strange out of an ordinary object.
I hoped to experience new ways or gain a new perspective of making art, and maybe teach some classes or help with a few projects, which I did. I was excited at the opportunity to teach for the urban art bike program since art education is one of the careers I've been looking into. I was hoping this program would help me decide which direction I want my art career to go to, and after this experience I'm leaning more towards art education. It was so much fun and interesting to see kids take on new skills that could help them in their future and how they enjoyed what they learned. The program seemed like one that would challenge me, because not only did I have to learn how to weld, I had to turn around and teach it. I couldn't wait to see something good come out of it.
When I was teaching for the urban art bike program, watching the kids come up with designs from the top of their head reminded me that when coming up with an idea to make a work of art, that the idea doesn't have to be perfect at first. The way that the kids would work freely from the heart without overthinking the project was something I latched onto and is something I'll take to my solo projects. Collaborating with the kids has given me a new way of looking at creating something new. I got the opportunity to meet other artists in the community when working in the Painted Story gallery, allowing me to see dozens of new perspectives of art from all different walks of life. I loved that the paintings were hung low enough for a child's eye-level so the children could learn to appreciate art a young age. I know that the purpose of this gallery worked because I saw so many wide eyed kids come in and really look at the artwork. I remember one kid loved the art so much he wanted to buy some prints and hang them in his room. I could tell that programs like these left a positive impact on the community because of how much people enjoyed it and the knowledge and skills younger people have gotten out of these things.
I'm grateful that I learned skills that I probably wouldn't have learned anywhere else. I got hands on experience on teaching kids who are passionate about art. I only wish I got to spend more time on projects like these with Art 120. Overall, it was a good experience!"
We are SO grateful for the support from the community since the devastating fire on Thanksgiving Day to our shop. Thanks to the support of the community, OCI, and the Edney Innovation Center, and The Bethlehem Center, we have been very fortunate to continue our programs uninterrupted through the school year. This allowed us to provide mentorship and curriculum development for Howard's Career Technical Education classes, partner with Red Bank Elementary School to develop Hamilton County's first K-5th grade maker space, and bring art programming to primary grade students at Woodmore, Bess T. Shepherd, Barger, and Red Bank as well as the art program at The Howard School.
Now that the school is over, we have a HUGE need to get the Urban Art Bike Program back on its feet. Our friends at Glass House Collective want us back in the community to give twelve amazing kids the chance to design, create, weld, and make something amazing for their community. We are outfitting our enclosed trailer to become our mobile welding classroom. This will eliminate location as a barrier to our kids and help us grow this program year round. Our welders have been fixed and are ready to go but we need supplies and funds to cover costs to get our program ready for teachers!
Haider Ali, founder of Phool Patti (pronounced P-ool pah-tea), visited Chattanooga for two weeks this July. Ali did many things during this time, including painting a new hood on the original Jingle Truck, and completely making over one of Art120's work trucks. Among other things, this is what the Pakistani artist specializes in. For thirty years he has been a Jingle Truck Artist, traveling the world to paint trailers, trucks, park benches, and more. He is famous for his work with the Smithsonian, and has exhibited at museums and institutions globally. You could say he is the "Bob Ross" of Pakistan.
As Kofi Annan said, "We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race." We at Art 120 strongly believe that when a child has access to art, they not only learn to appreciate their self-identity but nurture the curiosity and self-confidence necessary to understand other cultures. Thanks to the Doris Duke Building Bridges Program, Art120 will be able to reach more children this school year.
Art120's Jingle Truck is available to visit any elementary school in Chattanooga, or within a 120 mile radius during the 2019-2020 school year. Students will meet an artist from Pakistan, learn about the culture, and create artwork relevant to the child's community. We will provide teachers with a curriculum plan (approved by the Tennessee Academic Standards for Fine Arts), that is tailored to each grade level. There are opportunities to receive a Jingle Truck art experience at your school for free. To learn more, please contact Kate Warren at (423) 708-2120.
Art 120 is partnering with The Bethlehem Center, and local artist Christina Thongnopnua, to bring an ALL NEW traveling art exhibition for children to Chattanooga, TN! Painted Story Children's Gallery will be an unique experience for the community and for local artists that want to be a featured artist in the Gallery, or work with us in other ways like teaching workshops or hosting the gallery in their studio space. If you would like to host Painted Story at your organization, at an event, or become involved as an artist or volunteer, please email email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com!
The deadline for submission of the application, Art120PaintedStoryArtistApplication.pdf, is March 20th, 2017! We launch in June 2017! CallToArtists_PaintedStoryChildrensGallery.pdf
We look forward to working with you, Chattanooga, on bringing a truly child-centric program to you! Email Hannah Hahn at email@example.com or email@example.com if you're interested in applying to volunteer with or hosting the exhibition!
**We are on the lookout for month-long hosts for the Gallery! Inquire with firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com!**
Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter! The website is coming soon!

Young The Giant Tickets
Young the Giant is a uniquely entertaining alternative rock musical group that has gathered much popularity especially among older teens and twenty and thirty-something crowds with their smash hit 2011 singles My Body, Cough Syrup and Apartment, all three of which have received peak positions on US and Canadian charts. Their album by the same name released through Roadrunner label, climbed up to prominently high places in the US and UK charts. The band consists of front man Sameer Gadhia doing the lead vocals, Eric Cannata and Jacob Tilley strumming the guitar, Payam Doostzadeh on the bass guitar and Francois Comtois beating the drums. The band was previously known as The Jakes, and was signed by their current label Roadrunner only recently in 2009, releasing their EP album the following year. Young the Giant tickets are now considered to be quite a flavorful treat among the indie rock loving crowds.
Tickets for Young The Giant are currently unavailable.

The initial members of Young the Giant came together in 2004 while still living in California in Irvine. At the time in 2008, when they released their EP titled Shake My Hand, the members consisted of the current lineup with two of the musicians still making their way through their high school phase while the rest were busy getting hold of college degrees. Their EP was recorded in assistance from Kikpatrick, the band's then producer, right after which the group artists decided to immediately pursue their musical career and putting their education on hold. Jason Burger, who was originally working with the band, quite in order to develop a freelance style solo music career in the city of New York. In the absence of Burger, current drummer Francois Comtois, came in to fill the gap. Soon afterwards the group's good friend Payam Doostzadeh, who had been involved in the band's collaborative activities, also stepped in as the bassist. The group still called itself the Jakes at this stage of their career.
By 2009, the Giants were all ready to take over the rock front and began this noble endeavor by performing four successful shows in Austin where the music festival of South by Southwest was scheduled to take place. Young the Giant received further encouragement when their hot track called Texas Tea was featured on an episode of one of MTV's high profile shows called The Real World: Brooklyn. Another one of their exciting high tempo tunes Paid the Piper was played on A&E channel's show The Beast. Alongside all this sudden popularity, the band took few steps further into the league of main stage bands when their track Cough Syrup was put on much airplay on the KROQ radio station that is based in Los Angeles. All these events culminated strategically into getting the band signed with Roadrunner Records in the month of August, right after which, Ehson Hashemian who was their keyboardist left the group. A few months later they finally renamed themselves Young the Giant.
Young the Giant have established themselves as a tremendously energetic, wildly touring band that naturally has the knack for playing hot live shows. They spent 2010 heavily touring with Steel Train and Minus the Bear while still working on their courageously innovative opening act album with Joe Chicarelli taking care of the production side. The group performed extra shows with other upcoming and hit bands such as Neon Trees, New Politics, The Futureheads and Marina and the Diamonds. Their popularity had already streamed its way into rock fans before the release of their album, when their already loved tracks titled I Got, Strings, and My Body leaked to appear online.
The band has made it big in no time with its potentially explosive artistic disposition to go on growing musically to the heights of legendary bands that were the very pioneers of rock. In fact, the band's abilities became obvious with the official release of their very first single called My Body that climbed up to the number five spot immediately on the US Billboard charts of Alternative Songs. If you are fond of those alternative rock tunes that scream gently into a fully packed arena then those Young the Giant tickets are the game for you.

I hope that you are having an awesome Saturday! Time for me to go get some not so fun, but needed stuff done. I think we should treat ourselves to lattes since we are going shopping on a crazy weekend day. Just might do that!
Until later,
ETA- I just had to add this because I just took it. I knew this was one of my favorite colors for a reason! :) Let me know what color it says you are if you take the quiz!
Your dominant hues are cyan and green. Although you definately strive to be logical you care about people and know there's a time and place for thinking emotionally. Your head rules most things but your heart rules others, and getting them to meet in the middle takes a lot of your energy some days.
Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it.
Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

The CT scanner was developed and demonstrated by Godfrey Hounsfield, a British physicist working for EMI, Ltd. Originally developing the idea in 1967, the first working prototype was unveiled in 1972. Atkinson Morley's Hospital in Wimbledon, England was the first institution to use a CT scanner to scan a patient. The first CT scanner sold in the US was to Massachusetts General Hospital and George Washington University for $390,000.
CT Technology
The first CT scanners were very limited in their applications compared to those used today. Primarily used to scan the brain, the earliest scanners could only form axial (horizontal) images of the human body; that is, a slice from side-to-side, similar to a slice of bread (see picture below). Thus the name Computed Axial Tomography, or CAT scan, was used to describe a scan from this machine. However, this name is no longer accurate, as today's versions make it possible to see almost every structure in the body in a coronal, sagittal or axial plane, often in a clear 3-D view. Therefore, the term Computed Tomography, or CT imaging, has been adopted.
Axial, Coronal and Sagittal planes of the body
CT - Axial View
CT - Coronal View
CT - Sagittal View
The CT scanner is a complex machine that relies on electronic/digital as well as mechanical equipment to make an image. The patient is placed on a movable platform that is raised and "inserted" into a short tube that looks something like a large donut. Within this tube is a revolving x-ray tube and image receptor (IR), or sensor. As the scan begins the x-ray tube begins to spiral around the patient emitting a thin curtain of x-rays as it moves. Directly across from the tube (on the other side of the patient) is a sensor that picks up the x-rays after they have passed through the patient, collects the data and transfers it to a computer. The computer then uses complex algorithms to form a visual image from the data and projects it onto a computer screen.
View of inner workings of a CT scanner; tube revolves around patient.
With conventional x-ray, different anatomical structures are superimposed on top of each other and often cannot be clearly seen on the x-ray image. However, with CT, because the x-ray tube and IR rotate around the patient's body scanning it from all angles, it is able to combine all the data it receives from the scan into a comprehensible image for the doctor to evaluate. This is one of the reasons CT imaging is often considered "superior" to conventional x-ray imaging. However, there are some considerations to keep in mind.
A patient generally receives a higher dose of radiation when receiving a CT scan than a conventional x-ray. This is because the patient is being exposed to radiation during the entire time the CT is making its scan, which can last up to several minutes. However, with conventional x-ray the patient is exposed to just a brief emission of x-rays, often measured in just fractions of a second. This is why conventional x-ray is still used for simple imaging procedures such as a broken arm or finger or chest x-rays. Also, CT machines are not portable, so the patient must come to the machine, where as mobile x-ray units allow the machine to come to the patient's room to make the image.
Overall, the computed tomography has proved to be an invaluable asset to medical imaging and has saved countless lives, whether from helping a doctor diagnose a brain tumor or allowing a surgeon to identify a brain bleed in a car accident victim. As technology advances it is likely that CT scanners will become faster, more precise and more compact, and will continue to allow medical professionals to save lives.

Does your pup lick you incessantly? My little boy, Shiu Mai, does. [Yes, he is named after the pork and shrimp dumpling you find at Dim Sum restaurants. My other pup's name is Cha Shiu Bao. They're small, white, and so cute just like the Dim Sum treats.] He sits on the bed, and waits for me to come out from my shower so that he can lick the lotion off my arms and hands. In fact, he has spent the last 10 minutes licking off the lotion from my left arm as I type this post. It's as if I didn't put on any lotion. Why bother, I wonder sometimes. But how can I get mad at him? Just look at him. Isn't he a cutest little guy ever? I'd like to think that this helps soothe any anxiety he has. But who am I kidding? I think it's because he really likes the taste of lotion. Animals and their idiosyncrasies. I just love it.
He usually follows me to the kitchen as I get ready to cook. He hovers around (im)patiently waiting for something to drop onto the floor. He looks up and begs with his sweet brown eyes for me to "accidentally" drop something onto the floor. And when he realizes that maybe there are no treats this time around, he traverses his way back to the couch and hunkers down on my pillow heartbroken.

THE war graves of Botley Cemetery have, for many years, provided a simple and solemn act of memorial.
But now the hidden stories of those buried can be unlocked with smartphone as it has become the first in the UK to boast an interactive information panel.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission installed the new board yesterday, kickstarting a four-year programme to put hundreds more in cemeteries and memorials around the world.
It enlisted Iffley historian Julie Summers, 51, to write the stories on all 100 of the UK boards.
She said she was honoured and proud that the first to be installed in the UK was in her home city.
Each panel features a quick response (QR) code which can be scanned with a suitable phone to provide information about the cemetery and some of the soldiers who are buried there.
Ms Summers said: "We want to show what makes this cemetery special, why it is where it is, and we are trying to show that behind every single headstone here in Botley there is an individual.
"It's to remember people, the individuals. They were fathers, sons, brothers, lovers, friends.
"Over the next few months the QR codes will reveal more about those who are buried here."
The first tale told at Botley is of RAF wireless operator Ralph Wingrove, buried in the grounds.
The board also reveals facts about Oxford's role in the world wars.
It is hoped that by 2014, users can access the history of 500 sites and see the stories pulled from diaries and letters, photographs and audio.
The system allows researchers to add stories and information as the project deveops, and gives visitors the chance to leave comments in an interactive guestbook.
Commonwealth War Graves Commission spokesman Peter Francis said historial boundaries over the amount of information held on panels could be easily overcome with new technology.
He said: "This is the first of a massive project and we hope that it will make lots more people aware of what is held here.
"We are using the QR codes to help provide a historical context to the graves and to break it down to a more personal level. We want to tell the personal stores and give people a little more background on what happened in Oxford."
If you have any information about the soldiers buried in Botley cemetery or would like to contribute to the project, log on to www.cwgc.org
A SMARTPHONE is all it takes for the immaculately tended Botley war grave of Ralph Charles Wingrove to spill its secrets.
The QR code on the cemetery panel reveals that Mr Wingrove enlisted in 1937 and was a pilot and RAF wireless operator.
His early service years took him to the Middle East, where he flew 18 missions, but eventually he and his crew found their way to North Luffenham in Rutland where he trained airmen for flying bombers such as the Avro Lancaster and Bristol Blenheims.
It was during one of these training flights in 1945 that Mr Wingrove, and the rest of his crew, were killed.
At the time Botley was the recognised cemetery for RAF personnel and Mr Wingrove was buried there, aged 24.
TODAY an elegant venue for academic and corporate events, the Oxford Examination Schools once teemed with wounded and dying soldiers.
During both the First and Second world wars it housed part of the 3rd Southern General Hospital, along with a number of other notable local buildings.
The injured were ferried in from miles around, and for some buried in Botley cemetery their only links to the county are that they died nearby.
According to the British Official History of the Medical Services, the hospital also occupied two civil hospitals, Oxford Town Hall, three college buildings – Durham, Radcliffe and Somerville Ladies' College – and had its largest makeshift operation in Cowley Workhouse.
The Examination Schools hospital was the second largest with 346 beds, including 94 for orthopaedic cases and 25 for 'nerve cases'.
It served tens of thousands of troops.
Thanks to the new interactive board at Botley Cemetery, smartphone users can download historical data and photos.

The House today approved Sen. Paul Ryan's GOP budget plan, with Texans voting along strict party lines.
Still, Texas lawmakers' votes earlier this week indicated that most of them preferred other budget solutions.
Bottom line: An overwhelming majority of Texas Republicans wanted a budget that was far more conservative — cutting spending more deeply and balancing the budget in five (rather than ten) years.
Most Texas Democrats backed the failed House Democratic alternative, but a minority of the state's Democratic lawmakers backed more-liberal versions presented by the Congressional Black Caucus and the Progressive Caucus.
Here's a review of the various alternatives and a rundown of how Texans voted:
The Congressional Black Caucus put forth their own budget plan. It promised to…
- Reduce the deficit by $2.8 trillion over the next decade
- Enhance Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, TANF and other safety net programs
- Raise tax rates on household incomes above $250,000
- Fully fund Obamacare
It failed in a vote of 105-305. Texans who voted in favor of the budget were Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, Al Green, D-Houston, Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Houston, and Marc Veasey, D- Fort Worth. (That's four of the state's 12 Democrats.)
The Congressional Progressive Caucus set forth "the people's budget", which would…
- Eliminate the deficit in 10 years
- Increase income taxes on millionaires and billionaires
- Cuts defense spending
The plan lost in a vote of 84-327. Al Green, Jackson Lee and Veasey supported. (Three of the 12 Texas Democrats.)
The Republican Study Committee's "Path to Prosperity" plan, the proposed Republican alternative, would…
- Balances the budget in 5 years
- Cuts discretionary spending to $931 billion
- Transitions Medicare to a solvent premium-support system
The plan split the House GOP in a vote of 132 to 104. Most Democrats voted "present" to bring attention to internal GOP divisions.
Texas Republicans were less divided, with 22 of the state's 24 GOP House members supporting what was widely called the "Tea Party Budget."
The only Texas Republicans to vote against the plan were Reps. John Carter, R-Round Rock, and Kay Granger, R-Fort Worth.
The list of Texas GOP supporters, in alphabetical order: Reps. Joe Barton R-Ennis, Kevin Brady, R-The Woodlands, Michael Burgess R-Lewisville, Michael Conaway, R-Midland, John Culberson, R-Houston, Blake Farenthold R-Corpus Christi, Bill Flores R-Bryan, Louie Gohmert, R-Tyler, Ralph Hall R-Rockwall, Jeb Hensarling R-Dallas, Sam Johnson R-Plano, Kenny Marchant, R-Coppell, Michael McCaul R-Austin, Randy Neugebauer R-Lubbock, Pete Olson R-Sugar Land, Ted Poe R-Humble, Pete Sessions R-Dallas, Lamar Smith R-San Antonio, Steve Stockman R-Friendswood, Mac Thornberry, R-Clarendon, Randy Weber R-Pearland, and Roger Williams R-Weatherford.
The House Democratic alternative, doomed from the beginning, proposed to…
- Invest $200 billion in creating jobs
- Builds on Obamacare and strengthens Medicare
- Ends tax breaks for the wealthy while providing tax relief to the working class
Rep. Pete Gallego, D-Alpine, was the only Texas Democrat to oppose the House Democratic plan. In the GOP-dominated House, the budget failed 165 to 235. Every Texas Republican opposed it.

Your cell phone is disgusting.
Dr. Simon Park from the University of Surrey in the U.K. had his students imprint their cell phones onto petri dishes containing bacteria-growing nutrients. Then, they let the bacteria bloom. After a couple of days, the plates were filled with all different kinds of bacteria and fungi.
Most of the bacteria was harmless, according to the Daily Mail, just like the bacteria that constantly covers our bodies, but some may be able to cause disease.
You can see the outline of where the phone touched the bacteria food in many of the pictures, but most of the device's imprint is coated in yellow-ish splotches — bacteria that was transferred from the phone and grew and divided into colonies of millions of cells.
"From these results, it seems that the mobile phone doesn't just remember telephone numbers, but also harbors a history of our personal and physical contacts such as other people, soil, etc," Park writes on his blog.
Our phones aren't the only things we come in contact with every day that's bathed in bacteria. Your pillowcase and toilet seat are also teeming with tiny organisms.

Have you ever seen an animated GIF on a service like Imgur or Gfycat and inspected it in DevTools, only to find out that GIF was really a video? There's a good reason for that. Animated GIFs can be downright huge. It's not uncommon for GIFs to tip the scales at several megabytes, depending on quality, frame rate, and length. If you're trying to improve loading performance for your site and help users reduce data usage, animated GIF just isn't compatible with that goal.
Thankfully, this is one of those areas of loading performance where you can do relatively little work to realize huge gains without sacrificing content quality. In this article, you're going to learn how to do what the GIF hosting sites do to keep their bandwidth bills from going through the roof, and convert those giant GIFs into lean and fast video files! You'll then learn how to properly embed these videos in web pages so they behave just like GIFs. Finally, we'll talk a little bit about decoding performance for both GIF and video. Before you know it, you'll be well on your way to shaving megabytes off your GIF-heavy web pages in no time at all!
Converting animated GIFs to video
There are a number of ways you can convert GIFs to video, but
ffmpeg is the tool we'll use in this guide. You may
already have
ffmpeg installed. To check, open a terminal and run the
command. If it's installed, you'll see some diagnostic information. If you
receive a "command not found" or similar error, you'll need to install it. How
you install
ffmpeg depends on the
- For macOS, you can install via Homebrew or compile it yourself.
- For Windows, use Chocolatey.
- For Linux, check if your preferred distro's package manager (e.g., apt-get or yum) has a package available.
ffmpeg is installed, pick a GIF, and you'll be ready to roll. For the
purposes of this guide, I picked this
GIF, which is just shy of 14 MB. To
start off, let's try our hand at converting a GIF to MPEG-4!
Converting GIF to MPEG-4
Whenever you embed videos on a page, you'll always want to have an MPEG-4 version as MPEG-4 enjoys the broadest support of all video formats across browsers. To get started, open a terminal window, go to the directory containing your test GIF, and try this command:
ffmpeg -i input.gif output.mp4
This is the most straightforward syntax for converting a GIF to MPEG-4. The
flag specifies the input, and we specify an output file thereafter. This command
takes our test GIF of 14,024 KB and reduces it to a reasonably high quality
MPEG-4 video weighing in 867 KB. That's a reduction of 93.8%. Not bad,
but maybe you're curious to see if we can go a little further. If so, keep
It turns out ffmpeg is super configurable, and we can use this to our advantage to fine-tune the video output further by employing an encoding mode called Constant Rate Factor (or CRF). CRF is great when video quality is a high priority.
ffmpeg -i input.gif -b:v 0 -crf 25 output.mp4
This command is largely similar to the one before it, but with two key
differences: The
-b:v flag normally would limit the output
bitrate, but
when we want to use CRF mode, it must be set to
0. The
-crf flag accepts a
value between
0 and
51. Lower values yield higher quality (but larger)
videos, whereas higher values do the opposite.
Using our test GIF, this command outputs an MPEG-4 video 687 KB in size. That's an improvement of roughly 20%! If you want even smaller file sizes, you could specify a higher CRF value. Just be aware that higher values will yield lower quality videos, so always check the encoder's output to ensure you're cool with the results!
In any event, both these commands yield a massive reduction in file size over GIF, which in turn will substantially improve initial page load time and reduce data usage. While the visual quality of the video is somewhat lower than source GIF, the reduction in file size is a reasonable trade-off to make:
While the figure above is no substitute for a comprehensive visual comparison, the MPEG-4 is certainly sufficient as an animated GIF replacement. It also pays to remember that your users likely won't have a reference to the GIF source like you will. Always adhere to your project's standards for media quality, but be willing to make trade-offs for performance where appropriate.
If the resulting .mp4 won't open in Quicktime, Safari will not load it. Instead, try the command below to generate an mp4 that should load in Safari:
ffmpeg -i input.gif -b:v 0 -crf 25 -f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4
This additional config
-f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p should set the
correct codec for Quicktime player so Safari browser will recognize the .mp4 file.
While MPEG-4 is broadly compatible and certainly suitable as an animated GIF replacement, we can go just a bit further by generating an additional WebM source. Read on to learn more!
Converting GIF to WebM
While MPEG-4 has been in around in some form since at least
1999 and continues to see
development, WebM is a relative newcomer having been initially released in
2010. While browser
support for WebM isn't as wide as MPEG-4, it's
still very good. Because the
element allows
you to specify multiple
you can state a preference for a WebM source that many browsers can use while
falling back to an MPEG-4 source that all other browsers can understand.
Try converting your test GIF to WebM with
ffmpeg with this command:
ffmpeg -i input.gif -c vp9 -b:v 0 -crf 41 output.webm
You'll notice this method is mostly similar to the previous GIF to MPEG-4 conversion command using CRF mode, but there are two key differences:
- The codec we specify in the
-cflag is
vp9, which is the successor to the VP8 codec used by the WebM format. If this fails for you, replace
- Because CRF values don't yield equivalent results across formats, we need to
adjust it so our WebM output is visually similar to the MPEG-4 output. A
-crfvalue of
41is used in this example to achieve reasonably comparable quality to the MPEG-4 version while still outputting a smaller file.
In this example, the WebM version was roughly 66 KB smaller than the MPEG-4 at 611 KB. Its visual quality is reasonably similar to the MPEG-4 version, too.
Due to how the VP8 and VP9 codecs encode video, compression artifacts in WebM may affect the quality of the result in ways different than in MPEG-4. As always, inspect the encoder output and experiment with flags (time permitting) to find the best result for your application.
Now that we know how to convert GIFs to both MPEG-4 and WebM, let's learn how to
replace those animated GIF
<img> elements with
Replacing animated GIF
<img> elements with
Unfortunately, using a video as an animated GIF replacement is not quite as
straightforward as dropping an image URL into an
<img> element. Using
<video> is a bit more complex, but not onerously so. We'll walk through how to
do this step by step and explain everything, but if you just want to see the
code, check out this CodePen demo.
Getting the behaviors right
Animated GIFs have three key traits:
- They play automatically.
- They loop continuously (usually, but it is possible to prevent looping).
- They're silent.
The only true advantage of using animated GIF over video is convenience. We
don't have to be explicit in defining these traits when we embed GIFs. They just
behave the way we expect them to. When we want to use video in place of GIFs,
however, we have to explicitly tell the
<video> element to autoplay, loop
continuously, and be silent. Let's start by writing a
<video> element like so:
<video autoplay loop muted playsinline></video>
The attributes in this example are pretty self-explanatory. A
<video> element
using these attributes will play automatically, loop endlessly, play no audio,
and play inline (i.e., not fullscreen). In other words, all the hallmark
behaviors we expect of animated GIFs.
There's more to this than simply emulating GIF behavior, though. Some of these
attributes are required for autoplay to even work. For example, the
attribute must be present for videos to
autoplay, even if they don't contain an audio track. On iOS, the
attribute is required for autoplay to
work as well.
Specify your
All that's left to do is specify your video sources. The
<video> element
requires one or more
<source> child elements pointing to different video files
the browser can choose from, depending on format support:
<video autoplay loop muted playsinline>
<source src="oneDoesNotSimply.webm" type="video/webm">
<source src="oneDoesNotSimply.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Now that we know how to convert GIFs to video and how to use those videos as GIF replacements, let's see how each of these solutions performs in the browser.
Performance of video versus animated GIF
Though smaller resources are preferable, file size isn't everything. We also need to be cognizant of how a media resource performs after it has been downloaded, because media assets must be decoded before playback.
GIFs (and other animated image formats) are suboptimal because an image decode
is incurred for every frame in the image, which can contribute to jank. This
makes sense, because each frame in a GIF is simply another image. Let's see how
this looks in the Performance panel in Chrome's developer tools for a page where
the only content is an
<img> element pointing to an animated GIF:
As you can see in the above figure, image decodes occurs on the rasterizer threads as each new frame of the GIF is decoded. Now let's look at a comparison table of total CPU time for GIF versus MPEG-4 and WebM videos:
|CPU time
|2,668 ms
|1,994 ms
|2,330 ms
These figures were gathered in Chrome's tracing utility (record your own Chrome
traces at
chrome://tracing) over a period of ~6.5 seconds for each format. As
you can see, GIF takes the most CPU time, and less CPU time occurs for both
videos, particularly MPEG-4. This is good stuff! It means that videos generally
use less CPU time than animated GIF, which is a welcome performance enhancement
beyond simply reducing file size.
It should be mentioned, however, that some CPUs and GPUs offer hardware-accelerated encoding/decoding of video (e.g., Quick Sync Video on Intel CPUs). Many processors can handle encoding and decoding for MPEG-4, but WebM codecs such as VP8 and VP9 have only recently started to benefit from hardware-accelerated encoding/decoding on newer CPUs. A Kaby Lake Intel processor was used in these tests, meaning that video decoding was hardware assisted.
Potential pitfalls
You've heard enough about the advantages of using video instead of animated GIF, but I would be remiss in my responsibility if I didn't also point out some of the potential pitfalls. Here's a couple for your consideration.
Embedding video is not as convenient as embedding a GIF
Nothing is more convenient than slapping a GIF in an
<img> element and moving
on with your life. It's a simple one liner that just works, and that's huge for
the developer experience.
However, your experience as a developer isn't the only one that matters. Users
matter, too. On the bright side, using video in the
element is
possible in Safari, so an easier solution for using videos as GIF replacements
may be on the way. It's just not an approach you can currently depend on in
all browsers.
Encoding your own videos can take time
As developers, we want to save time. When it comes to something as subjective as the notion of media quality, however, it can be difficult to come up with an automated process that provides the best results for all scenarios.
The safest thing to do is to analyze the encoder output for each video, and ensure the results are up to snuff. This may only be a reasonable solution for projects with few video resources. For larger projects with many videos, however, you may want to go with a conservative encoding strategy that emphasizes quality over file size. The good news is that this strategy will still yield great results, substantially improve loading performance, and reduce data usage for all users over relying on animated GIFs.
Additionally, converting all your GIFs to video takes time. Time you might not have. In this case, you might consider a cloud-based media hosting service such as Cloudinary or Uploadcare, which does the work for you. Check out this resource from Cloudinary's blog, which explains how their service can transcode GIF to video for you.
Data saver mode
On Chrome for Android, autoplaying video can be disallowed when Data Saver is enabled, even if you follow this guide's instructions to the letter. If you're a web developer, and you're struggling to figure out why videos aren't autoplaying on your Android device, disable Data Saver to see if that fixes the issue for you.
To cover edge cases such as these, you should consider setting the
attribute so the
<video> element's space is populated with some meaningful
content in the event Data Saver is on (or really any possible scenario where
autoplay could be disallowed). Another possible approach could be to set the
controls attribute conditionally based on the presence of the
which is a header Data Saver sends when it's active.
When you use video in lieu of animated GIF, you're doing your users a big favor by reducing the amount of data you send to them, as well as potentially reducing system resource usage. Ditching animated GIFs is worth serious consideration, especially if they feature prominently in your content. In a time where performance is more important than ever, yet many performance improvement strategies require a significant investment of time, transitioning your GIFs to video is a proportionally small effort when compared to the massive improvement it can have on loading performance.

Video: The Concert Corner - Summerfest, Harley-Davidson's 110th, Garbage and more
Lot to run through in the Concert Corner chat this week. A whopping 96 bands were announced last week to play Summerfest and the Harley-Davidson 110th Anniversary. And then there was Garbage's return to Milwaukee for the first time since 2005. Plus there's a lot to look forward to this week: the Joy Formidable, the Last Bison, the WAMI Awards.
So I tried to condense all this in my chat with CineStars' Brittany Umar, but of course couldn't get terribly deep. You can follow the links for more information on Summerfest 2013 headliners, the Harley-Davidson 110th anniversary lineup, the Garbage Eagles Ballroom show, Joy Formidable at Turner Hall Ballroom and the WAMI Awards.

I need to add some more code to correctly identify this board.. Temporarily you can try force it to use TS188 (DST_TYPE_HAS_NEWTUNE) or TS204 (without the NEWTUNE option) and see how it goes.. Possibility is that probably the Tuner type will be the other case what is exactly for you at the momemt and hence communication errors.. Let me know how this goes .. You will need some more patches, i will post it a while later in the night .. In the meantime you can check out which tuner type works appropriate for you .. (You should not see any i2c communication errors, except in the case of a very weak signal, if you gone through the right steps) Manu

Looking back, you might call Betty Ford the forthright First Lady. She had a lifetime of speaking about forbidden topics, and very personal ones. And in the eyes of many, it was her decision to speak openly about her breast cancer that made it clear she was a speaker of substance. From the Miller Center at the University of Virginia:
She wore a mood ring and pantsuits. She liked disco and danced the hustle. She was pro-choice, pro-ERA, and pro-women in general. She had been divorced, seen a psychiatrist, and been diagnosed with breast cancer. In many ways, Betty Ford was like a lot of other American women. But unlike many of her predecessors as First Lady, Betty Ford used her position to focus attention on the issues important to her, discussing them candidly in public. In so doing, she became one of the most outspoken First Ladies in American history.Ford's credibility stemmed from two approaches she took to her public speaking: She wasn't afraid to express an opinion different from her husband's views, even when he was President, and she made decisions to use her public role to speak in behalf of other women, even when the issues was extremely personal. After her 1974 diagnosis with breast cancer and a subsequent mastectomy, Ford gave many interviews about her cancer and in 1975, while she was First Lady, delivered a major address to the American Cancer Society that is remarkable in many respects. Here's what you can learn from this famous speech:
- Use plain, forthright language when you're addressing the unspeakable: Cancer of any kind was not openly discussed in the 1970s by anyone, let alone a First Lady. Yet this speech was one of the first to not only discuss it publicly, but do so in language anyone could understand. Here, she speaks about her mastectomy: "It isn't vanity to worry about disfigurement. It is an honest concern. I started wearing low-cut dresses as soon as the scar healed, and my worries about my appearance are now just the normal ones of staying slim and keeping my hair kempt and the make-up in order. When I asked myself whether I would rather lose a right arm or a breast, I decided I would rather have lost a breast."
- Simple language helps your speech work for the ages: I do a lot of communications consulting with cancer experts, and find this speech's simplicity a telling example of what clarity can bring to a complex topic. You could give this speech again this week, and it would still be clear and relevant, sticking as it does to universal themes and simple words.
- Don't shy from humor when addressing a tough topic: Ford opened with a wry twist on the tired speaker intro with "I'm very glad to be here tonight, and that is not a line borrowed from someone." And she followed up with the details of her prognosis, just what everyone likely wanted to know.
- Share the emotions to which we can all relate: Ford devoted almost as much space in this speech to the emotional aspects of a cancer diagnosis as the physical ones, including the shock and surprise her family felt: "The malignancy was something my husband never expected, and he couldn't believe it was happening to me. The whole family felt that way. I think their surprise was a very natural reaction, because one day I appeared to be fine and the next day I was in the hospital for a mastectomy." Professionals and patients alike could relate to her words.
Ford, who is now 93, turned out to be a long-term survivor of her cancer. Many think this speech set in motion a level of interest, activity and concern about cancer that continues today; in the wake of this speech, women worldwide sought out treatment and preventive mammograms, in some cases overwhelming local cancer centers with thousands of calls. More importantly, this speech demonstrated the power of speaking publicly, making cancer commonly discussed rather than taboo--a strong legacy for any speaker to claim.
Ford's habit of speaking frankly about her personal life led to many more disclosures and political statements. You can find more at the Ford presidential library and in this research by doctoral student Melody Lehn about Ford's public speaking on the Equal Rights Amendment. Here's later video of Ford talking about her family's intervention regarding her substance abuse, an episode that led her to found the Betty Ford Clinic:

It's been a very long weekend and I'm up late trying to recoup after a hellish night at work. I spent the day re-organizing all my CDs but I spent more time spinning the discs than actually getting them uploaded to my database! So here's a few albums I listened to before work and now after work…..good music relaxes the soul…..
Edguy – Tinnitus Sanctus (2009): I started out with this new record from Edguy and it is really good. Is it me or is Tobias Sammet everywhere lately? As long as he keeps putting out good material with Edguy and Avantasia, I'll still be picking the stuff up. I found some holes in my Edguy collection so I'll be trying to fill them ASAP.
SBS (Spicy Bits Of Scandal) – The Gambler (2009): SBS is a Heavy Metal band from Italy and they were nice enough to send their latest album along for a review. Very nice package with a DVD too, I've been enjoying this Traditional/Power Metal album all week. The full band name through me off (it sounds like a Glam band) but SBS is all Metal…..very good so far.
Buckcherry – Black Butterfly (2008): I have had this album since it came out but I just haven't been able to get into it, one day I like it and the next I think it's average. I've been a fan of the band since they first came out (before 'Lit Up' became a hit single) but I think they can be brilliant at times and dumb as stumps the other. The latest single ('Too Drunk Too Fuck') is good but it seems like Buckcherry always needs to have that danceable single that is blatantly explicit. It's like they are trying too hard. Not out of the playlist yet, I need more time.
Motley Crue – Saints Of Los Angeles (2008): I'm going to the show Friday at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut so I wanted to give this record some spins this week so its fresh. I know the rest of the Crue catalog by heart so SOLA gets the refresher.
Ratt – s/t (1999): I had to dig this out because Metal Mark had a Lesser Of Two Evils column with this album at Heavy Metal Time Machine, I had to give this a fresh listen to see if it was as bad as I remember. At the time, I was psyched to get new Ratt but it wasn't as good as the Great White album that came out at the same time.
Great White – Can't Get There From Here (1999): Awesome record! Great White toured with Poison, Ratt and LA Guns in the Summer of 1999 and a buddy and I drove the 8 hours to catch the show in the Pittsburgh area. The cool thing for me was that I knew all the new Great White tunes because I bought the Japanese import a couple weeks earlier. I saw that tour 3 times that summer……
Def Leppard – Euphoria (1999): Another great record from '99! People slag this album because it sounds too processed (like HYSTERIA) but I thought it was a great return to the classic Def Lep sound (depending on which era you think is classic). I thought 'Promises' was a great single the whole record had potential but it got buried by the record company. Even the band doesn't really recognize it. When Def Lep is live they have visuals on the big screen…..they show all the album artwork and they always skip EUPHORIA.
Snatch – If The Party Is In Your Mouth, We're Coming (1985): Another album from Metal Mark and the Heavy Metal Time Machine! He had a post about this album and I just had to find it because the title is just so bad! I actually became obsessed with finding it and I found a copy locally for a few dollars. I set up my USB turntable and decided to break the seal with this album…..definitely not a lost gem musically but certainly a timepiece of the bottom of the '80s barrel.

There are no reviews yet.
The mural, a spatula to install it and the instructions of placement.
Our wall paper does not contain PVC. It's printed by inks of latex so the impressions are odourless. Easy to place, it comes already stuck. To install it and to withdraw it only needs water.
Method of cleanliness: Clean softly with a dry cloth.
Suggested use: To apply in flat surfaces (walls, doors…).
Maximum width of a unit of paper: 100 cm. If the size is superior to the maximum width of the material, the whole printed product will consist of several units of equal size.
The wall must be clean, dry, in good structural conditions, as well as free of mildew, spots, and free of irregularities, in order to achieve the best installation.
To get the best results, apply on a surface of the wall, before painted with priming and latex painting latex. *
* NOTE: This is typical of new construction, a surface of the wall that has painted with a single priming or satin or sheen painting is acceptable.
The surface of the wall must be clean, soft and free of residues or pollutants.
The walls must be clean, soft and free of irregularities. Verify the surface of the wall to determine the condition of the adhesion of the painting. If the painting is old, it is damaged, or scales off, is very advisable to condition it before placing the paper.
Any paper of the old remaining wall must be withdrawn, as well as the old adhesive (to extract it by some specialized product). The priming is applied to the surface of the wall when it is clean, smooth and free of the ancient adhesive.
The grooves must be refilled to achieve a smooth surface. Once let's have the smooth wall, it will have cover with a priming that favors the adhesion.
This option is not recommended.
1. To cover the soil of in front of the wall with plastic to be able to place the rolls of paper before applying them on the wall. The soil has to be clean in order that the paper does not get dirty.
2. In the package there will be a document with the units of the printed paper, and in the non-printed face of every roll there will be the numeration of each one.
3. Develop the first roll with the printed face orientated down.
4. Use a spray with water to wet abundant the not printed side of the paper.
5. Once the paper is wet, fold the paper in two and leave it to rest for 1 minute in order that the glue reacts (avoid to wrinkle the paper, just fold it).
NOTE: This product expands lightly with the wet one; to obtain better results, dip and reserve every panel the same quantity of time.
6. Open the half top of the roll, leaving the low still folded half, and proceed to place the paper on the wall.
7. Once satisfied with the initial position, open the low part and place the rest.
8. Using the soft part of our spatula or a humid sponge, smooth down and towards out. Smooth gently, though not to spoil the paper, better strong alder-tree plantation and fewer times than soft alder-tree plantation and many.
Advice: If there appear smaller bubbles of 24mm of diameter apro., they will vanish when the paper dries off. You must allow that they should dry off alone.
9. To continue with the following roll, to repeat the process. The rolls are placed by one overlap of 1cm approximately. To smooth the union to press the zone of union lightly with a soft cloth without marking. Overlap it will help to align the print correctly.
Corners: If one proceeds, to apply before a cap of tail of dispersion in the zone of corner to guarantee a major adherence to the same one.

The Dream Team 20 Years Later: Reflecting On Their College CareersPosted by EJacoby on June 13th, 2012
On Wednesday night, NBA TV will air "The Dream Team," a brand new documentary that relives the 1992 Men's Basketball USA Olympic Team that's better known by that same name. This summer marks the 20th anniversary of the team, the inspiration behind documenting the players, and their legendary run through the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. The national team of 12 players included 11 future Hall of Famers and some of the greatest players in basketball history all in one locker room. The forgotten member of the team is Christian Laettner, the lone collegian at the time to make the squad, who was coming off of one of the greatest NCAA basketball careers of all-time as a two-time National Champion for Duke. Looking back, how did the other 11 players fare in their amateur careers? Was their collective NBA and international success predicated by dominance in college? On the day the documentary airs, we reflect on the Dream Team from a college perspective.
As it turns out, the team wasn't just a collection of all-time great professionals. Exactly half the players on the roster also qualify as some of the greatest collegiate players ever. Six players on the Dream Team were included on ESPN's list of the 25 greatest players in college basketball history, the highest of whom was Larry Bird at #9. Bird averaged 30.3 points per game in his career at Indiana State, and in his senior National Player of the Year season he led the Sycamores to a 33-1 record and a loss in the National Title game to Michigan State and Magic Johnson. Johnson is another one of the greatest collegians on the list (#15), averaging 17.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game in two seasons for the Spartans that became a preview of the stat-sheet stuffing machine he would become in the NBA.
