Cyanogen partners with Qualcomm, introduces fresh new look at Mobile World CongressBy Shawn Knight
Cyanogen, the company behind the Android-based open source mobile OS, is having quite a productive showing at this year's Mobile World Congress thanks largely in part to a new collaboration with chip maker Qualcomm.
The partnership will see Cynaogen provide its mobile OS for the upcoming Qualcomm Reference Design (QRD) that'll be used with Qualcomm 200, 400 and 600 series processors. QRD devices are basically templates that smaller smartphone makers often use to expedite the process of getting their handsets to market.
Up to this point, Cyanogen has only come preinstalled on three devices - the OnePlus One, the Oppo N1 and the Micromax Yureka. The deal should see that number increase in the coming months although don't expect it to arrive on your next high-end handset anytime soon.
One of the first devices to arrive in the US under the partnership will be the Alcatel Hero 2+. Compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile networks, it'll be sold online without a contract for $299.
Cyanogen is also sprucing itself up with a new look that the company hopes will capture its commitment to openness. They've also refreshed their website to reflect the new logo. Visitors will find increased whitespace, a vibrant color scheme and typography that has been updated for readability.
All of this is part of a larger effort to shed its modder roots and transition into a legitimate OS that anyone will feel comfortable with.

The lycopodium, scientific name Lycopodium clavatum, also known as ground pines or creeping cedar, is an evergreen plant belonging to the Lycopodyaceae family, it can be found in forests and mountainous areas. This remedy, used in herbal teas, has diuretic and laxative properties, useful in case of gout, rheumatism but also constipation and hemorrhoids, urinary tract infections and renal colic. Lycopodium herbal tea purifies the body from the toxins but protects also the liver and can be used in case of hepatitis or other diseases affecting this gland. As reported by the well known herbalist Maria Treben, for external use a compress of dried lycopodium can be applied at night to the area affected by cramps such as calves, neck and back. Again according to the famous herbalist, applying the lycopodium powder on sores, dermatitis, skin irritations caused by frictions gives immediate relief and helps heal in a short time.
Herbal tea
The lycopodium should not boil, for this reason prepare a herbal tea in this way, bring to boil a cup of water, then remove it from heat and pour the water on a teaspoon of lycopodium, leave to brew briefly, then filter and drink a cup once a day before breakfast, in case of liver problems you can drink two cups. Do not exceed with the amount and avoid drinking the herbal tea for prolonged periods because the plant contains alkaloids with an irritating action and excessive use may cause intestinal colic.
According to herbalist Maria Treben, the licopodium, once dry, is put in a pillow and applied on the part affected by cramps. Depending on the size of the area, you can use 100 grams of plant or more.

Welcome to a new Wildcard Wednesday! As we prepare for coverage on the best of The Andy Griffith Show, I have — for subscribers who comment below to alert me of their interest — access to digital copies of Dell's two-issue comic based on the series, from 1961 and 1962.
And then, for all of us here, I'm preparing a post where I answer reader questions. Although I've always done this in the comments section, I thought I'd try it out for an entry tentatively scheduled at the end of this month. I probably won't reveal future coverage plans — that's what the Coming Attractions page is for — but otherwise, you can ask me ANYTHING: questions about the material covered here, material not covered here, whatever you choose. I can't promise that everything will be answered, but I'll do my best, and I hope this is something that will allow us to discuss things that otherwise wouldn't get covered! So, craft your questions and visit this link to submit them for consideration: https://jacksonupperco.com/question-form/
Come back next week for another Wildcard! And stay tuned Tuesday for more Andy Griffith!

SongVault Artist Profile
steve wills
Indiana, United States
Christian Pop / Rock / Modern Rock
I dont have many memories of age 5, but what I do remember involves Beatles. Who knows how or why, but somehow a 5 year old was affected for the rest of his life. Thats who I was. Thats what I wanted to be. As I got older, music became the center of everything. I picked up a guitar when I was 8, taught myself some chords and hung out with my dad and uncle when they played. When I was 13, I heard John Denver. Suddenly, this became real. Here was a guy with goofy looking hair and glasses, playing guitar, writing songs and singing by himself. I thought, hey I could do that!
After years of playing in bands, talent shows, and living the rock and roll lifestyle, I realized something was missing. This wasnt what I thought it would be. The closer I got to the business, the less satisfying it became. Even finding a wife and starting a family wasnt enough. It was better, but not quite enough. I met a guy named Eric Brown, a songwriter who was forming a band. He was well organized, dedicated, and had some really good songs. I didnt realize they were Christian songs right away. But that didnt matter, it was a good band with good music. I was learning more about songwriting while being witnessed to at the same time. Before long I began to realize there was something more to this than Id seen before. God was with this band, taking me places I had never been, mentally, musically, and spiritually. I became a believer. One of my first prayers was OK, now what? Where do I go? What would you have me do?. Bands, of course, come and go. I drifted from band to band, gig to gig, until my path crossed with Jon Porter. He sat in one night at a gig in Greensburg. The connection was instantaneous, like we were supposed to meet. A few days later, he called to see if I was interested in playing in the church Praise Band he was leading. That was somewhere around 1995 and I have yet to leave. All these years I have been listening, learning, praying, and growing in my faith - Finding what was missing all those bands ago. My favorite lyric from John Lennon is Life is what happens to you when youre busy making other plans. That is exactly right. Im living day to day, enjoying my family, my church, and my life. Ive never stopped writings songs. And the fever hits me from time to time to share them with people with the hope that maybe, someone might see or hear something that makes sense in their life. Maybe they too will find that what theyre missing in life is Jesus. Im not chasing charts or glory anymore. That doesnt really matter in the grand
scheme of things anyway. I try to please God, my family, and myself. Thats all I can ever really hope for.

Over the last few days, I've had conversations with a number of people about Monday's WNBA Draft and a few themes seemed to emerge as prominent.
Jessica has already looked at the team-by-team results, but the following is a summary of some of the major themes.
- Shenise Johnson might end up being the steal of the draft: I didn't think Johnson would fall past the Tulsa Shock at #4, a team that had a clear need for a wing. Glory Johnson was clearly among the most talented prospects in the draft, so it wasn't a costly mistake. But Shenise Johnson was among the most versatile playmakers - as in distributing and scoring - to come out in a few years.
- Rebounders were a hot commodity: 6 of the 10 first round picks that played in the NCAA were very strong rebounders - including Stanford's Nneka Ogwumike, who the L.A. Sparks made the first selection overall - which makes a lot of sense in a "weak" draft as college offensive rebounding tends to transfer well as an indicator of potential at the pro level, even if not a dominant pro rebounder. Courtney Hurt (#34) is obviously undersized, but on an Indiana Fever team that needs rebounding she was well worth a chance as a third round pick.
- Was Devereaux Peters drafted too high? I'm not sure there's any consensus on how good Peters might become. The question, and I'm not sure anyone has a definitive answer, is how much of what she has done in college will transfer to the pros and how close is she to her ceiling?
- Kelley Cain wasn't a bad pickup in terms of WNBA potential, but drafting her at #7 was questionable: Included in that six above was Kelley Cain, who was a strong offensive rebounder in her last season at Tennessee before announcing her retirement from basketball. The nagging question, given said retirement announcement, is whether spending a first round pick on Cain was the best draft strategy - was she even on anyone else's radar? Could they have traded down to make that pick and added more talent? She is healthy and put up solid numbers in Turkey while overseas. At 6'6", she has as good a chance as any player available at that point in this year's draft to succeed, which is not a bad standard for drafting someone.
- Could this be a good year for second round picks? Tiffany Hayes is not likely to be a star, but she was a value pick by the Atlanta Dream at #14 in this draft - with Angel McCoughtry on the perimeter efficient, complementary scorers could be as valuable as inefficient, volume shooters. The Sparks need a ball handler with Ticha Penicheiro departed to the Chicago Sky, so Khadijah Rushdan (#15) has a good chance to make their roster and could help improve their defense. Tyra White's (#16) defensive ability might help give her a chance at making the roster. Tulsa needed scoring so Riquna Williams (#17) will have as good a chance as anyone in this draft to make a roster. C'eira Ricketts (#24) is a fit for the Phoenix Mercury in that there were few players faster with the ball in the nation this year although she's not a particularly efficient college 3-point shooter.
- Riquna Williams' suspension probably did hurt her draft stock, but so did being an inefficient 5'7" volume shooter. Given the track record of players with similar profiles in the past and the number of international players drafted, going #17 is a value pick but not much of a snub. Certainly the details of her suspension being reported didn't help her any, but her college numbers suggest she'd have to make adjustments to be an efficient rotation player in the WNBA even with all of her athleticism.
- Julie Wojta is a great fit for the Lynx in theory, but their roster situation makes that selection somewhat unfortunate: On almost any other team in the league, Wojta would be the early favorite for steal of this draft at #18. She would be a great fit for the Lynx in that she's got an ideal skill set as a complementary pro player who can do a little bit of everything and she shot 40.8% from the 3-point line in her senior year. It would be difficult for her to make the roster this season, but there's little question that she offers as much or more than some other players currently on WNBA rosters, athletically if nothing else.
- Are the Tulsa Shock willing or looking to trade one of their power forwards? Even if they arguably took the best player available with each of their four draft picks, the selections of Glory Johnson, Vicki Baugh, and Lynetta Kizer have made people wonder if they'd be willing to part ways with one of their bigs previously on the roster. Tiffany Jackson's trade value would seem to be higher than ever right now after putting up much-improved numbers last season. Or they could just decide not to keep those third round picks, which is probably more likely, given the track record of third rounders.
- Our preseason selections didn't fare well: Two of our preseason top 10 (Briana Gilbreath, Lynetta Kizer) went in the third round and two others (Cierra Bravard, Lykendra Johnson) went undrafted. There are easy explanations for that - some of which might not have been predictable - but we've also identified a few ways we can improve upon that for 2013.
- Damiris Dantas might be expected to come to the states next season: According to a report by the Brazilian Basketball Confederation, Minnesota's second first round pick (#12) might be ready to come to the states in 2013. Translated (via Google Translate): "This year is very important for the Brazilian National Team and I am very focused on the Olympics, but from next season I will defend Minnesota."

Oh Apple, I've made such a fool of myself. Why? Why did I fall for the lure of the slim lines? the promise of the wearables? I was sure that Android was going to make me happy, to fill the gaps that had grown between us. I cannot believe I fell for it.
After a month of trying to fit in with the new crowd I just knew it was a hopeless task. Yes it was nice to parade around with wrist notifications and changeable faces, but that pretty much sums it up, a facade. Too many variables, too many inconsistencies. I miss our time together Apple, I even find I'm missing the 'problems' we had, the fights, the 'Siri' irriate moments. Please can we go back to the way things were, please can you give me another chance. I'll wait patiently for iWatch, I'll even stop complaining about the quality of the beta, I know it won't be easy to start with, but I'm sure together we can make it work.
Yours hopefully.
Paul x.

Welll crap...
On to Target. I stumbled across the new Star Wars Transformer I had been waiting for. Obi Wan's Jedi star fighter with the cool hyper drive ring around the front but I had to put it back. About that time I hear a huge gasp from the other end of the isle. When I look down, Alastria is franticlly grabbing at things... They just happened to stock one case of the new TF:Animated wave 3 deluxe figures. So we got one of each. Jazz, Snarl, Soundwave, and Oilslick. Very cool. Jazz has always been one of my favorite characters and this new toy is just amazing.
Anyway, on to Walmart. Of course... they also have a Wii in stock. Damnit! On to the toy isle. They had one row of the older TF:Animated deluxe figure and while I was browsing through them I am interrupted with yet another gasp followed shortly by a "Holy crap!".
This time I turn to look and she is hauling this huge ass box from the lower shelf. I had actually forgotten about this guy. Yep, Supreme class Optimus Prime. He is almost 2 feet tall with lots of lights and sound.
So now I think the onl TF:Animated toys that have been spotted in the wild that I don't have are the Leader class Megatron and Bulkhead.
Oh and this walmart didn't have that Batmobile that she brought me out to see in stock... Oh well.. maybe next time. ;)

1370.0 - Measuring Australia's Progress, 2002
ARCHIVED ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 19/06/2002
|Page tools: Print Page Print All
People aged 25-64 years with a vocational or higher education qualification
Education and training help people to develop knowledge and skills that may be used to enhance their own living standards and those of the broader community. For an individual, educational attainment is widely seen as a key factor to a rewarding career. For the nation as a whole, having a skilled workforce is vital to supporting ongoing economic development and improvements in living conditions.
People can obtain knowledge and skills in many different fields, and in many different ways (both formal and informal). Schools, providers of vocational education and training, and universities, offer many courses. Much formal learning also takes place in the workplace (either on the job or in work-related training courses). In addition, people may gain knowledge and skills by simply pursuing their own interests. An indicator that recognised the sum of all knowledge and skills held by people would be desirable, but such an indicator is not available.
The indicators of educational progress used here measure the attainment of formal non-school qualifications, and the levels of participation in education and training. The main indicator is the proportion of the population aged 25-64 years with a vocational or higher education qualification (see box). The age range selected identifies an age group where most people have completed any initial non-school qualifications. The indicator shows that there has been a slight upward trend in the level of educational attainment. Between 1990 and 2000, the proportion of those aged 25-64 years with a vocational or higher education qualification increased from 46% to 50%. This increase marks the continuation of a trend seen for many decades. (SEE FOOTNOTE 2)
The relatively small increase over the last decade in the proportion of people with either a vocational or higher education qualification masks a more substantial increase in the proportion of people with higher education qualifications (i.e. a Bachelor degree or above). Between 1990 and 2000, the proportion of people aged 25-64 years with higher education qualifications increased from 10% to 18%. The proportion of people whose highest qualification was a vocational qualification declined from 36% in 1990 to 31% in 2000. This decline may be due in part to increases in the number of people with both a vocational and a higher education qualification. (SEE FOOTNOTE 4) Some part of the decline may also have been associated with changes to the ABS survey from which these data come. (SEE FOOTNOTE 3)
Other indicators show that the increase in overall levels of educational attainment continues to be supported by increasing levels of participation in education and training. For example, the proportion of 15-19 year olds who were students (either in school or studying for a non-school qualification) increased steadily between 1985 and 2000, from 61% to 78%.
Despite the general increase in education participation rates, the increasing levels of retention of secondary school students through to the uppermost level of secondary school seen during the 1980s through to 1992 have not continued. The Year 7/8 to Year 12 apparent retention rate (which estimates the retention of full-time students from the first year to the final year of secondary schooling) (SEE FOOTNOTE 1) has remained stable over recent years (at about 72% between 1994 and 2000) after falling from the 1992 peak (77%). (The peak in 1992 occurred in a year of particularly high levels of unemployment - see the commentary Work.)
Educational outcomes for females have continued to improve through the 1990s. Between 1990 and 2000 the proportion of females (aged 25-64 years) with a vocational or higher education qualification increased from 37% to 44%. For males the proportion increased slightly, from 54% to 55%.
Immigration has helped to build the skill levels of the population. Taken as a whole, migrant groups tend to have higher levels of educational attainment than the Australia-born population, particularly as a result of Australia's skilled migration policies. (SEE FOOTNOTE 5)
While there has been progress in levels of educational attainment among Indigenous Australians, both their levels of participation in education and training and their levels of attainment remain well below that of the total population. The trends for these and other population groups are explored further in the commentary Education and training: Looking more closely.
Education participation rate(a) for those aged 15-19 years and Year 7/8 to Year 12 apparent retention rate
The pace at which knowledge and skills are further developed within the population is influenced by many factors. Increasing requirements of high level skills and qualifications in the work force due to the changing nature of work (including technological change within industries and their changing structure) are important drivers of change. (SEE FOOTNOTE 6) The policies of governments and industry groups in providing opportunities for people (especially young people) to develop their knowledge and skills also play an important role in educational participation and attainment. Australia's continued interest in attracting skilled migrants from other countries may also help to increase the attainment levels of Australia's population. (SEE FOOTNOTE 5)
The ongoing development of people's knowledge and skills influences many dimensions of progress. Increased education and training may support economic development by providing people with specialised skills capable of increasing levels of productivity and of extending the range and quality of goods and services produced. Education and training may also serve to improve our capability to address a wide range of public health and welfare issues, as well as various environmental problems. From an individual's perspective, educational participation and attainment can help to improve outcomes in areas such as employment, income and health.
The opportunity to participate in education and training in turn depends on a broad range of social, economic, and individual factors including health, economic circumstances, established support mechanisms, and access to education and training.

1 The 'Year 7/8 to Year 12 apparent retention rate' is the number of full-time students in Year 12 divided by the number of full-time students in the first year of secondary school (Year 7 in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and Tasmania; Year 8 in Queensland, South Australia, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia) when the Year 12 cohort began secondary school. Care should be taken in interpreting apparent retention rates as they do not account for students repeating a year or migrating into or out of the Australian school student population.
2 Data for 1969 and 1982 show that the proportion of people aged 20-64 years (a slightly larger age group than that used as the main indicator in this report) who had a non-school qualification increased from 20% to 42%. See Australian Bureau of Statistics 1984, Social Indicators, Australia, No. 4, Cat. no. 4101.0, ABS, Canberra.
3 There have been three major breaks in the series between 1990 to 2000. The breaks listed below are considered to have impacted mainly on the comparability of data relating to vocational education and training qualifications.
(a) In 1993 the ABS introduced a new method of classifying data relating to educational qualifications and level of course. More information can be found in Australian Bureau of Statistics 1993, Classification of Qualifications (ABSCQ), Cat. no. 1262.0, ABS, Canberra.
(b) In 1994 qualifications of nurses were treated separately, which resulted in some movement of data relating to level of qualification.
(c) In 1997 prompt cards were no longer used and computer assisted coding methodology was adopted, resulting in changes in the relative distribution within vocational education qualifications.
Further information can be found in the Explanatory Notes from Australian Bureau of Statistics 2000, Transition from Education to Work, Australia, 2000, Cat. no. 6227.0, ABS, Canberra.
4 Analysis of the 1997 Survey of Education and Training (which collected information about more than one non-school qualification) showed that almost 6% of persons aged 25-64 years in or marginally attached to the labour force, or in full-time or part-time education, or who had a wage or salary job in the 12 months prior to the survey, had both a Bachelor degree or higher level qualification and an Undergraduate or Associate Diploma or lower level non-school qualification.

Assam's, Glasgow, Scotland
I'm thinking the relaxed style of the service in Assam's is the way forward for curry houses. British people, after all, don't really do "receiving service" very well. False, American-type "have a nice day" service makes us cringe, Snooty "I need to give you a look that makes you feel that we don't want you here" service irritates us, while bowing and scraping "I'll do anything for you sir and madam" makes us feel decidedly uncomfortable.
The latter two, of course, are peas from the same pod as we search for egalitarianism as we sit down to eat. We don't want people to treat us as if we are not good enough for anywhere (our grandfathers told us about this sort of thing), and we don't want anyone else to act subservient just because they are serving us (as our grandfathers wouldn't accept that either). We are not "under" anyone and we are not "above" anyone either. Ah, the dilemmas of a class system.
And so the poor old people that serve us have to walk a tightrope of being efficient but not too attentive, friendly but not too friendly, fast but not too fast and on the list goes. An impossible job. Yet the two young lads at Assam's seem to have got it just right, mixing up banter with efficiency. A job in training awaits you.
Assam's, situated in an elegant building in West Regent Street, in the centre of Glasgow, has been operating since 2009. The high ceilings, large windows and gold picture frames sit comfortably alongside the clean, contemporary lines of the modern furniture and smart bar. It's a pretty cool place.
The menu is not huge (although the chef will cook other curries if you ask) so presumably they stick to what they know best. The Garlic Chilli Chicken (£9.95) was full of soft, whole garlic cloves, peppers and chilli, with the thick, sweet sauce coating the tender small chunks of chicken. The Tandoori Chapati (£1.20) was the size of London naan and the wafer-thin bread had been popped and singed by the searing oven heat in all the right places. It was ideal (after a quick chat with our waiters about how it was cooked) for scooping up the curry topped with a dab of homemade pickle (65p).
Sadly the Vegetable Curry (£8.50) did not receive such high praise from The Vegetarian despite the large chunks of fresh broccoli and cauliflower. The vegetables were declared too soft and the dish itself described as "more lightly spiced veg than veg curry."
Elsewhere on the menu Spiced Haddock (£5.95) and Aubergine Fritters (£3.20) from the starters stood out, while the Karahi Garlic Lemon (£6.95 for lamb) has my mouth watering for a return visit.

Subject to receiving regulatory approval, Singapore Airlines plans to introduce Airbus A380s on half of its flights to New Delhi and Mumbai in late May.
Singapore Airlines plans to operate A380s daily to both Mumbai and New Delhi from May 30, replacing daily flights that currently serve each city using Boeing 777-200s.
The airline will continue to operate a second daily flight on each of the routes with Boeing 777-200s. In total, 14 flights will serve each city each week.
"We have been keen to operate the Airbus A380 to India and are glad that the Air Services Agreement between Singapore and India now allows us to do so," says Lee Wen Fen, Singapore Airlines' senior vice president marketing planning.
"India is a particularly important market for Singapore Airlines and we are very pleased that more of our customers will soon be able to experience the spaciousness and comfort of the world's largest aircraft," adds Lee.
Singapore Airlines' A380 schedule for the Singapore-Mumbai route calls for flight SQ424 to depart Singapore Changi International Airport (IATA code SIN) at 7:15 p.m. daily from May 30 and land at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (BOM) at 9:55 p.m. local time.
In the other direction, flight SQ423 will leave BOM at 12:25 a.m. daily from May 31 and reach SIN at 8:20 a.m. local time.
The carrier's schedule for its Singapore-New Delhi A380 service will see flight SQ406 pushing back from the gate at SIN at 5:25 p.m. from May 30 and arriving at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) at 8:05 p.m. local time.
In the other direction, flight SQ403 will depart DEL at 10:05 p.m. from May 30 and touch down at SIN at 6:10 a.m. the following day, local time.
Singapore Airlines was the first airline in the world to operate the Airbus A380, when the carrier put its first A380 into service in October 2007 between Singapore and Sydney.
The airline now also uses A380s to serve Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, New York, Paris, Shanghai, Tokyo Narita and Zurich.

(The Center Square) – Mortgage applications increased for the first time in over a month after a decrease in mortgage rates last week.
According to a weekly survey by the Mortgage Bankers Association, mortgage applications increased by 1.2% from last week, the first increase seen in five weeks.
This increase comes a week after the Federal Reserve announced another 0.75% interest rate hike.
"Mortgage rates declined last week following another announcement of tighter monetary policy from the Federal Reserve, with the likelihood of more rate hikes to come," said Joel Kan, MBA's Associate Vice President of Economic and Industry Forecasting. "Treasury yields dropped as a result, as investors continue to expect a weaker macroeconomic environment in the coming months."
This announcement comes after The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported last week that the U.S. Gross Domestic Product fell for a second consecutive quarter, a general indicator of an economy in recession.
The average contract interest rate for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages decreased 0.21 percentage points to 4.74%, alongside a dramatic decrease in the 30-year-fixed-rate.
"The 30-year fixed rate saw the largest weekly decline since 2020, falling 31 basis points to 5.43 percent," Kan said.
As a result, the refinance index rose from last week, increasing by 2%, but is still 82% lower than the same week one year ago.
"The drop in rates led to increases in both refinance and purchase applications, but compared to a year ago, activity is still depressed," Kan said. "Lower mortgage rates, combined with signs of more inventory coming to the market, could lead to a rebound in purchase activity."

Moon Rise Wrap – FREE Crochet Pattern
Hey friends!
This post contains affiliate links. This means, should you make a purchase, I will receive a small portion of the sale, at no extra cost to you. All opinions are my own. You can view my privacy policy here.
I am super excited to be able to share with you the Moon Rise Wrap, a FREE crochet pattern using WeCrochet Galileo.
This post is sponsored by WeCrochet.
If you keep scrolling, you'll find the FREE pattern, but ad-free PDF versions are also available on Ravelry, Etsy and my website.
This wrap was designed to look a lot more complicated than it is. I wanted to create something that I could wrap around myself on warm summer nights without adding too much warmth. I wanted it to be big so I could drape it over my arms and have a pretty lace pattern that was easy to memorize. Once I got my hands on the Galelio yarn from WeCrochet I knew it was absolutely perfect for my vision! This yarn is a sport weight (2) and is 50% merino wool and 50% viscose from bamboo. The bamboo gives the yarn an incredible drape and a slight sheen that is really pretty. For my project I chose to use the colourway Lunar.
The lace pattern is actually only a 3 row repeat and once you memorize it you'll be flying through the pattern. I finished mine in 3 days working on it on and off, so I have no doubt you'll be able to whip this up really quickly!
All the information you need to complete the wrap can be found below! When making it please be sure to share your work on Instagram and tag me (@by.stephanie.erin) as well as tag your pics with #MoonRiseWrap so that I can check out your projects and you can see everyone else's Moon Rise Wraps!

We will now add a sc edging around the wrap to finish it and set up the edges to add fringe to if desired. The count does not need to be exact. If you wish to not count you can just sc evenly around.
When crocheting down the sides of the wrap place 3 sc in each dc and 1 sc in each ch and sc.
Row 1: Ch 1, sc 288 across top of wrap, 3 sc in last st. Sc 86 down side of wrap, 3 sc in last st. Sc 288 across bottom, 3 sc in last. Sc 86 up side of wrap, 3 sc in last st. Join with sl st to first sc made.
Fasten Off.
Block according to fibre.
I like to soak my wrap in lukewarm water with a non rinse soap like Soak for 20 minutes. Then lay flat to dry on blocking mats or a towel.
Weave in all ends!
Rock out in your new Moon Rise Wrap!
That's all there is to this pretty wrap! I hope you love your new wrap.

As any baseball fan can attest, a hot dog is more than a blend of meats stuffed inside a casing. It's a gastrointestinal institution, a staple of ballparks in Detroit and other cities since being introduced at New York's Polo Grounds in 1901.
The Tigers first started selling hot dogs at Bennett Park more than a century ago. The club used a number of food suppliers through the years, but by 1958 had become dissatisfied with its vendor. That year Gus Hauf, a sausage superintendent at Hygrade Food Corp., a Detroit-based meatpacking company, invented the company's famous Ballpark Franks. His special formula remains a secret.
In 1959, Ballpark Franks became the official Briggs Stadium hot dog. (A Hygrade employee named Mary Ann Kurk won $25 and a leather living room chair for coming up with the new product's winning name.) Later they went on sale commercially, rising to become the country's second-best-selling red hot. As Tigers general manger Jim Campbell once claimed, "They're not eating hot dogs; they're eating tube steaks."
It didn't take long for the humble Ballpark Franks to become a part of Tigers lore. One day in the 1960s, Gates Brown was on the bench, surreptitiously munching on a red hot, when he suddenly was called upon to pinch hit. He stuffed his hot dog under his shirt, hustled to the plate, and promptly slapped the ball to the outfield. As fate would have it, the Gator had to belly-slide into second base. He emerged from the swirling dust with a yellow mustard stain across his uniform shirt.
(By the way, the reason vendors slather only mustard on the dogs is because ketchup, which contains sugar, spoils quickly in the heat and attracts flies.)
In 1985, Cincinnati schoolteacher Bob Wood visited every major league park, grading each on, among other things, the quality of its hot dogs. He rated Tiger Stadium's dogs number one. "A Ballpark Frank with a little mustard on the side is a dream fulfilled," Wood wrote in his book, Dodger Dogs to Fenway Franks. "And proof that worthy experiences never die in the tradition of a fine baseball park."
Yummy, indeed.
Much to the dismay of fans who grew up on the flavorful franks, they were replaced in 1992 by Thorn Apple Valley's "sausage in a bun." A public backlash, however, forced the Mike Ilitch regime to reconsider its hasty dismissal of the famous dog. It was brought back a couple of years later.
Today, Tigers fans at Comerica Park enjoy a wide selection of tasty tubular products, including Chicago-style and coney dogs, brats, and kielbasa. They continue to consume a million or so Ballpark Franks each season, with obvious relish – or not.

text: Pushing the ATtiny85 to its Limits - decino.nl Projects Merch Submissions Projects Featured on Hackaday! After 12 years my trusty bedroom clock drew its last breath (R.I.P.) which left me with a small problem, how do I quickly check the time when in bed? Sure, I could just buy a new one or check my phone, but that's no fun. You know what's fun? Building your own from scratch. Hardware Development Initially I wasn't planning to turn it into a big project. Building a clock is relatively simple, just build something that can render digits and add a component like an RTC which ensures the time stays accurate. I made a plan which involved 4 prototype boards, WS2812s for the digits, a mini-USB connector for power, and a DS3231 to keep track of the time. Prototype board with wiring and components. The front when powered on. After 2 evenings of stripping wires and soldering them I finally finished the first digit. This took a lot longer than expected, and, honestly, I wasn't really looking forward to making the other 3, so I did what I should've done from the beginning -- I took out the sodium persulphate from my storage room and... PCBs! Much better and much, much faster to make. Now with the hardware done, I noticed a few problems. How will I handle daylight saving time? How will I fix the DS3231 when it lags behind? I don't want to manually fix the time by re-uploading the code every now and then. I needed a way to provide input. Luckily I had a spare Bluetooth module laying around and nonchalantly soldered it to one of the digit PCBs. Now I can use my phone to communicate with the clock. Digit Aesthetics Now I had LEDs which could render the time as seen on the image above (it shows 13:20 if you look closely), but it's hard to tell. With my 3D printer I made a digit with its segments cut out so the emitted light diffuses into its respective segment only. When overlaying it with a piece of paper you can clearly see the digits appearing as seen on the video below. Your browser does not support this video. Materialising the digits. I also needed something to encapsulate the PCBs, so I made a wooden casing in Inkscape and went to a local laser cutter company to manifest my design into the real world. Once done, I put it all together and I was quite happy with the result. Aesthetic as hell. I was incredibly hyped to power on the clock. Everything up to this point looked amazing. I quickly programmed a fancy rainbow pattern for the clock to see if all colours are nice and clear, and... Uhh... what time is it exactly? New problem: the material I used for the 3D-printed digits is slightly translucent causing the light to bleed to other segments. Man, what a bummer, but no despair. I thought of a solution and, with pain in my heart, disassembled the clock to spray paint the digits black to ensure the light bounces off the material. Back to square one, but now in black. Clock seen from above. All digits are now painted black. Light now stops bleeding to other segments with an incredible result. Up to this point the software did nothing but take the DS3231's time and render its hours and minutes. Now it was time to add Bluetooth communication to be able to sync the time when needed. Tackling the ATtiny85's Limitations I made a list of features I wanted for the clock: 1. Sync the time with your phone's; 2. Adjust the digit brightness for both day and night; 3. Set a time when the clock should dim its brightness (i.e. for during the night); 4. Set a different digit colour for each day of the week; 5. Ability to upload special days (like birthdays and holidays) where the clock will emit a rainbow pattern. While writing the clock's firmware I never really paid attention to the sketch size and RAM usage. Once I added serial communication and defined an array with some dynamic values I noticed that the clock would stop working. After a while I figured it was the RAM usage reaching its limit. The ATtiny85 has 256 bytes of dynamic memory. Some bytes are reserved for essential stuff, so in the end you end up with 239 bytes of available memory. I had to optimise my code step by step: using 16-bit RGB instead of a byte for each colour, using a byte for the year instead of 2, etc. All these tiny optimisations trimmed down the RAM usage a little bit. For the special dates I reserved 64 EEPROM addresses -- 2 bytes for each date, so enough for 32 dates. The sketch size also got dangerously close to its limit, but I managed to pull it off. One more line of code and it would've stopped working. Bluetooth Communication I started writing the Android app. Compared to the firmware, this was fairly easy to do. The app has a rather simple layout and sends a 5 byte "packet" to the clock which in return will attempt to decipher it. The format of this packet isn't too complicated: [command][metadata][value][value][value] For instance, a "brightness adjust" command would look like "10128". The first byte indicates the command ID (1 for adjusting brightness), the 2nd byte tells the clock if it's brightness for during the day (0) or night (1), and the remaining 3 bytes indicate the brightness value (from 0 to 255 in this case). For choosing the weekday's colour it'd look like "54088". The first byte (5) is the "weekday colour" command. The 2nd byte is the day of the week (4 is Wednesday). The remaining 3 bytes are the RGB values ranging each from 0-8 due to compression reasons. The most complex one is the "special date" command. Its command ID is 7, the metadata tells if it's a day or month, the 3rd byte is the EEPROM address (0-32), and the remaining 2 bytes are used for the day (1-31) or month (1-12) value. This means you need to send the command twice -- one for uploading the day, and the other one for the month. There's 9 commands in total. The App in Action Below are some clips of the app communicating with the clock. Your browser does not support this video. Adjusting the brightness. Your browser does not support this video. Setting the digit colour for Sundays. Your browser does not support this video. Today's a special day. Party time! It's been one hell of a month, but I can finally check the time in bed again. Not just that, it will also remind me when it's someone's birthday. Hopefully I'll be on time with birthday presents if I consider myself that forgetful. Back © 2015-2023 decino.

Reviewed by L.D.Y.
Hardcover (available in trade), 580 pages, 2001
Rating: 10/10
Reason for Reading: An interest in the law that led to an interest in Canada's justice system failing miserably, as in the case of Guy Paul Morin. The gripping title helped, too.
Synopsis: In 1959, fourteen-year-old Steven Truscott was accused of the brutal rape and murder of his twelve-year-old classmate, Lynne Harper. For over forty years, Truscott has protested that he was innocent. With this book, Sher produces a mountain of judicial bumblings, hidden testimony, exaggerations, and lies that led to Truscott's initial judge sentencing him to 'be hanged from the neck until you are dead.'
Why you should read this book: Obviously, Sher is on Truscott's side, but he remains unbiased enough to present facts against Truscott as well as in support of his story. The impact of this case on Canada's judicial system is broad, from helping to abolish the death penalty to Canadians being confronted with the fact that maybe the judge isn't always right. Truscott's story is horrifying and yet amazing for the unfaltering strength he displayed even as a young teenager. Well-researched, well-presented.
Why you should avoid this book: There's some graphic details about Lynne's death – nothing for the sake of sensationalism, just evidence, but it can still be hard to read about the murder of a twelve-year-old girl.
Opening paragraph:
Nine-year-old Karen Daum was uneasy. 'Be very quiet,' she remembers Miss Beacom warning the grade Four pupils as they pointed to the air force men and whispered nervously. 'One of the girls from school is missing and they are trying to find her.'
Fabulous quotes:
In the 1950s, social issues, like television, were black and white. There was little of the fiery passion that colourized the turmoil of the sixties or the shades of grey that have characterized debates in the more cynical decades since. It was Good versus Evil; justice always triumphed and justice was never wrong. Just ask Sergeant Joe Friday in Dragnet or Sheriff Matt Dillon in Gunsmoke. The sexual overtones of Lynne's murder made it all the more shocking. This was, after all, a time when parents on TV still slept in separate beds, when the panicky headline on the cover of the first issue of Maclean's magazine for 1959 asked: 'Going Steady: Is It Ruining Our Teenagers?' So it was little surprise, then, that the Ontario government's bold announcement of a hunt for Harper's killer 'dead or alive' should touch a popular chord.
The next day, on Friday June 12, the experts at the provincial laboratory confirmed that the food was in Lynne's stomach for 'not more than two hours.' Graham promptly had Steven picked up and arrested. In that scenario, Penistan took the initiative and his insightful findings on Thursday night were backed up by other experts on Friday. Medical science leads, the police follow. Hays surrounded his case with an aura of scientific objectivity. The story sounded plausible and the jury believed it. But there is strong evidence to suggest that Penistan doctored his evidence on both the time of death and the contents of the stomach to help the police and the prosecution. In other words, he made the time fit the crime.

Every Day New
Like many of you, I was thinking about this New Year as I woke up today. I have chosen Proverbs 31:25 as my verse to focus on for 2019. It says, "She is clothed in strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future." Here is the deal though; I didn't feel as though I rang in the new year with strength or dignity.
Of course, I was feeling a bit down about that… until I ran on the boardwalk. I watched the waves come one after the other along the shoreline without stopping. Again and again the sand was wiped clean.
I was struck again by God's creation and his message of grace in the patterns of nature. Each day the sun rises and sets without fail; the seasons follow their cycles; and the waves continue their movement.
In it all, we are reminded of God's faithfulness and the manner in which he has provided us opportunities for fresh starts. Your low moment is not the end of the story. Like salty water smoothing the sandy floor, a sunrise hitting the reset button on opportunity, or the first budding flower indicating a new season, God's grace makes every day new.
Here's to a year full of opportunities to live with strength, dignity, joy, and confidence that God holds my future.

Here, as promised, is our second glimpse into The Shushan Citadel, this time visiting an island abbey outside the citadel walls.
Chapter 10
Brother Joachim waited patiently at his workstation in the safe.talk room abutting the North Novitiate Cloister at Abbey Trádún [Thraw-doon]. It was 0859 on a Thursday morning, one minute before he would hear from the Citadel. His contact would be Meres, who had begun communicating with him through space.speak a month ago, and now continued this weekly. He seemed genuine enough, and had openly introduced himself as an anti-terrorism expert with the Omni Development and Protection Corps.
At the dot of 0900 hours, words formed on the monitor before him.
"Good morning, Brother Joachim. Meres here."
"Punctual as always, my friend," typed Brother Joachim. "How are things at Citadel?"
"Just fine. No doubt you've been up for hours already."
"Only since 0530. It's not like the old days when monks prayed every three hours around the clock."
"When did they sleep?"
"Whenever they could between prayer and work."
"How big a place do you have?" asked Meres.
"We're quite small actually. There's only a couple of hundred of us all told."
"Are people living there who aren't monks or nuns?"
"Oh, yes. Only forty-two of us are professed religious, plus we have ten postulants and nine novices studying our Rule in order to some day become professed. Then there are nineteen associates including a priest and his wife."
"Now I'm really confused," admitted Meres. "I guess I don't understand difference between professed religious and associates."
"Associates are people who follow our way of life without taking our sacred vows. Religious are monks and nuns who become professed by taking solemn vows after experiencing our lifestyle for a time and completing their studies and training. We follow a Rule, or way of life, and don't marry, preferring to serve God in our celibate state."
"I suppose that gives you more time for prayer," said Meres, trying to comprehend the strangeness of monastery living.
"It does. Also more focused energy to follow Jesus through service to humanity," said Brother Joachim, knowing that his correspondent could not begin to absorb the complexity of his words.
"Who makes up rest of your population?"
"There are a hundred students who were boarding at abbey school, and who now, of course, have no parents. And a group of priests who had just arrived for a ten-day retreat," explained Joachim.
"Just like our college students and tourists who are now stuck with us indefinitely," typed Meres. "How old are your students?"
"They range in age from ten to eighteen."
"I'm curious how you survived the Desolation," said Meres.
"Shushan is permanently underground, but I understand that the abbey was designed to go up and down depending on perceived risk of terrorist attack. Why did you go underground that particular night?"
"Why do you want to know about us?" asked the monk.
"It's my job."
"In the capacity of anti-terrorism expert with the Omni Development and Protection Corps?"
"Yes. But I also want to be your friend. We should be allies."
"Is Ahasuerus angry because we didn't have him over for tea?"
"He was disappointed."
"And if you could broker a visit for him it would add to your prestige," noted Joachim.
"Of course," admitted the ODPC man.
"We open our doors only to those who wish to enhance spirituality in our prayerful environment."
"I understand. As I asked you earlier, what saved you from the Desolation when you mostly live above ground?"
"Our patron saint. It was his feast day," said Joachim.
"October 22, the day of the Desolation happens to be the feast day of St. Peter of Alcantara to whom Abbey Trádún is dedicated."
"And that's what saved you?" asked an incredulous Meres.
"Yes. The evening before Peter's special day, we were in the basilica chanting Vespers. Suddenly, the novice on duty in the infirmary interrupted our prayer. She rushed into the basilica to tell us that Sister Scholastica had an urgent message. Since most of us present knew that Scholastica had neither moved nor spoken since being incapacitated by a cerebral haemorrhage three years earlier, we listened."
"And what did Sister Scholastica have to say?" inquired Meres.
"She said we had to get all the people and animals inside as quickly as possible and lower the abbey."
"And you did so."
"Yes. Thank God, Mother Abbess ordered us to proceed speedily. Then we finished our Evening Prayer underground, and went to bed. As you know, by 0200 hours on the 22 October, our planet was demolished. But we were all safely abed underground, including the hermit monks who would normally have returned to the hermitage for the night. It was the feast day of St. Peter of Alcantara," finished the monk.
"And Sister Scholastica?" asked Meres. "Did she speak again?"
"Indeed! But it was in heaven. She died that night while most of us slept. She would have been ninety-nine in another week."
There was a pause while the man from Shushan regained his composure. "By the way, how do you pronounce your abbey's name?" he finally asked.
"Thraw-doon," spelled out Joachim on his computer. "That's Irish for beach." To himself he added, Fort Beach, that is.
"May I talk with you again next Thursday?" asked Meres, concluding the conversation.
"I look forward to it," said the monk.
As Brother Joachim closed his workstation in the monks' cloisters on the north side of the basilica, Sister Thea hummed to herself while collecting herbs for the infirmary in the tranquility of the courtyard.
The cowl of Thea's brown summer habit was thrown back, revealing short black curls. Her dress had blue bands at the hems of sleeve and skirt, separating brown cotton from coffee-coloured skin. It fell to just above bare sandaled feet. Over this, the nun wore a sleeveless grey tunic embroidered in blue with a small cross forming the Latin words, Quod Minimus Mihi Fecisti, the words of Jesus Christ: Whatsoever you do for lowliest, you do unto me. In circle around the cross was the order's name, Order of the Brothers and Sisters of Compassion.
Each nun's basic wardrobe included three summer dresses, six tunics, and three long-sleeved winter dresses. On special occasions, she wore a dress habit of brown wool-silk banded at wrist and hem with blue velvet and adorned with a silver cross pendant. Thea also had two sweaters, a summer cape and a winter cloak, all in dark brown. She wasn't allowed leisurewear in various colours because these were not considered part of her habit.
Men in the order had grey denim pants and brown cotton shirts embroidered with the prescribed blue emblem. This basic under-habit could be worn with or without a cowled brown robe. Robes came in summer weight and winter weight. They were worn with a heavy silver cross and chain.
Monks and nuns wore plain silver bands on the ring fingers of their left hands signifying sacred oaths of poverty, chastity and obedience to God. Left index fingers were encircled with silver rosary rings, each with ten Hail Mary bumps and a flattened cross for the Our Father and Glory Be.
Associates dressed in denim skirts or pants with brown shirts or tunics. All members of the order wore sandals over bare feet, reserving socks and boots for traversing mud or snow.
While Sister Thea collected herbs, she reflected that it seemed almost sinful to feel so happy after all that had happened. Yet here she was on a lovely summer day out in the fresh air in the most beautiful place on earth. Mother Abbess called the abbey an oasis of serenity in a wilderness of fear and uncertainty. That it surely was.
Abbey Trádún was a double monastery, meaning it had both nuns and monks. The semicircular apse of the beautiful stone basilica faced east in the traditional way. Attached to the basilica's north side were four rectangular cloisters with enclosed gardens, three for monks and one for retreatants and guests. On the south side were two cloisters for nuns, one for families and one for students. All of this was designed to sink into the rock vaults blasted into the earth, leaving only its roofs flush with the surrounding terrain. A large courtyard on the abbey's west side was surrounded by a high stone wall which continued around the abbey forming a protective ring.
Built into the northeast section of the inner wall was a hermitage consisting of three separated huts fronted by private walled gardens. Any monk could apply for a period of seclusion and prayer in the hermitage. Hermitage huts were never vacant. Two turned over regularly with different monks welcoming sabbaticals of a few months or a year to silently communicate with God and their inner beings. The third hut had been occupied by Brother Tadhg for several years.
"I am a hermit," he informed the community when they inquired about his extended stay. They accepted that, and thereafter he was left undisturbed.
Hermits joined the community each morning at 0600 hours to chant Matins and participate in Mass. On the way back to the solitude of his hut, each hermit silently retrieved his daily food rations from the monastery kitchen. He remained alone throughout the day until communal Vespers at 1900 hours, after which he retired for night. Once a week, hermits visited the monastery library to select material for meditation and for scripture reflection known as Lectio Devina.
The courtyard also contained several small outbuildings along with benches and trellises dispersed along paths that wandered leisurely through the abbey gardens. Irrigation was automatically controlled by a system that drew water from Georgian Bay as soil conditions demanded.
Beneath the courtyard, eco-rooms housed animals and growing plants. A secret maze of tunnels, conference rooms and vehicle hangars led underground from the abbey to the waters of Georgian Bay lapping at the island's shores. Before the Desolation, government intelligence meetings were conducted here with personnel from the Canadian Military, the Ministry of First Nations, Abbey Trádún and DúndirkaNoka. The government arranged that both underground communities have sophisticated security systems and secret military forces in order to function jointly as a highly secretive Intelligence Mission. To outsiders, unaware of the covert activities, an alignment between the centres seemed innocuously natural because of their shared esteem for creation.
But there were no longer Ministries or Governments. The monastery and Noka had become islands in an inhospitable wilderness. Sister Thea shivered as she glanced to the southwest, where four hundred kilometres away the sinister towers of the Citadel cast long shadows across the land. She picked up her basket of herbs preparing to return to the infirmary.

I've been reading Lou Adler's about the way we can abstract all the job roles in four and how one, in the position of hiring, should recognize them to be able to pick the right strengths for the right job. In particular, one thing that was interesting to me is the fact that we need to communicate with them in different language because each role needs different input. If you manage to do that you can get the desired results. Recognizing myself in the thinker + builder mix I've meditated about how I've handled different situations. Being one of the latest nice histories what I'm doing with my hairdresser.
Moving to a different city is hard, it involves not only changing strings to your family, friends, loved ones, etc, but also it changes your lifestyle. Every human bean has needs being superficial or just natural, such eating or sleeping. Being the hairdressing such a need, at least if you intend to follow your personal style or just society customs, one has to figure Who is going to do my hair now? So the search has to begin at some point.
For men searching for all the places we use to visit for doing our "stuff" is kind of hard in this new world crowded of fancy and stylish offerings for women beauty care. After quite some time, say around one year, I landed in such a nice place. Usually, once I feel comfortable with the service I'm a loyal customer and always return. It happens with restaurants, taxi, almost everything. I think we are very predictive in that sense. We don't want to trade a good service with the glows and lights of new things, no, until we figure it's better.
This year I wanted to change my hairstyle, every now and then I use to do that. I wanted to achieve a particular hairstyle that involved my hair being more large that what I had at that moment. So I needed to work on that with my hairdresser. He already know me for a while and knows the "traits" on my hair. The quest began and I explained what I wanted to achieve for this first "initiation". I didn't want to push for the whole picture or the final outcome. I explained the goal for the first step.
Every time I went back I've explained a bit more of my goal and at some point even showed a picture of the desired result. One of the sessions we were about to start and he tells me: "So, let's keep working on the process". I got the feeling that he's involved on what I wanted, meaning we are on the same page. He also could see things that I cannot and even told me: "Over the weeks you have managed to get rid of this particular tricky hair, you can be a good hairdresser!" I have this kind of swirls, so I feel flattered.
Meditating about such events in the light of Lou's article teaches me a lot about how we need people with different skills and strengths and how good is the outcome when all of them can understand what the other wants in order to achieve the goal. It also shows how communication on the particular aspects of the work being done is important. It's not solely related to transferring information but reaching the mindset of the other person, meaning involving yourself in their way of thinking. Good lesson for founders and business owners. Thanks Ernesto.

In terms of reading I tend to love reading books with weird, unusual characters. I find these not necessarily the most likable characters, but I like it when the character has flaws as it can lead to unexpected elements and make a story much more interesting to read. I've included some of my favorite books, some of my favorite characters and also characters in books that aren't exactly my favorite, but where there are a few characters that stand out.
Favorite book characters
So I have a few different categories that these characters fall into: main characters I like, cast of characters, the witty sidekick/ partner in crime, the kick ass female, and minor characters. In short, there is quite some variety here and I hope you enjoy the video.
What are your favorite characters?
