Improving IFE Target Fabrication with a Droplet Microfluidics Method
Caty Fairclough September 29, 2017
Fusion energy is 30 years away — and always will be. The joke certainly rings true for inertial fusion energy (IFE), which must overcome a number of obstacles before it can become a reality. For example, the current methods for creating IFE targets cannot meet the predicted demand and cost requirements. To solve this problem, researchers designed a new microfluidics method that could address these production bottleneck issues while complying with the strict geometrical requirements of IFE target design.Read More

Generating complex emulsion droplets that can be used to fabricate highly compartmentalized microconstructs is difficult to achieve with classic droplet-forming fluidic junctions. These junctions have simple geometries, which can result in a narrow range of flow rate control. To address this issue, one research group designed an oscillatory microfluidic junction with a more complicated geometry. This junction, called the bat-wing junction, can consistently produce uniform and complex double-emulsion droplets, with bespoke components and encapsulated reagents.Read More

Research shows that microgravity exposure has an effect on the human body, such as by suppressing immune cell activity. This phenomenon also affects cancer cell migration. Making use of this fact can lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets for metastatic cancer cells. In this blog post, we'll discuss how a research team used the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to design a culturing system to study cancer cell migration in microgravity.Read More

For those designing process equipment with conventional centrifugal pumps, rotating conical (or cone) micropumps may provide a simpler alternative. However, the performance of rotating cone micropumps needs further analysis, which can be difficult to achieve with only trial-and-error empirical studies. To solve this issue, researchers used the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to develop a realistic model for analyzing the fluid dynamics and performance of a rotating cone micropump. Here, we discuss their research and results.Read More

The viscous catenary problem has generated a lot of theoretical and experimental interest in recent years. This is due to the industrial importance of the rich phenomena that occur within it. Using the flexibility of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, we can gain fundamental insights into complex problems like the viscous catenary problem and determine the validity of the assumptions made in previous analyses.Read More

If bubbles in a microfluidic device become stuck, it can cause the device to malfunction. Bubble entrapment depends on several factors, including the geometry and flow characteristics of the microchannel, as well as the surface properties of its walls. To study these aspects, Veryst Engineering modeled a bubble in a microchannel using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Today, we look at their results, which shed light on the device geometries and contact angles that lead to bubble entrapment.Read More

For those looking to solve complex transport process problems involving photonics and microfluidics, it can be challenging to account for all of the elements involved, including multiple physics phenomena. However, this is necessary for accurate results. By using multiphysics simulation, Carl Meinhart from the University of California, Santa Barbara and Numerical Design, Inc. accurately modeled transport processes in two application areas: high-frequency acoustics and microfluidic valves. Watch his keynote talk from the COMSOL Conference 2016 Boston to get the details.Read More

If an inkjet printhead nozzle is poorly designed, it will lead to a low-quality end product — whether it's used in a 2D or 3D printer, the fabrication of an integrated circuit, or even DNA synthesis. With simulation, you can determine the ideal printhead nozzle dimensions to achieve precise material deposition. And with the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software, you can save time by turning your model into an app for use by other project stakeholders.Read More

Transdermal drug delivery (TDD) patches continuously deliver drugs into the body for a certain amount of time. However, the skin is designed to keep out foreign substances, like drugs. To create a TDD patch that successfully bypasses this barrier, simulation can be used to study drug release and absorption into the skin. To analyze this process, Veryst Engineering created a TDD patch model with the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and compared the results to experimental data.Read More

In any form of treatment, it is always desirable to minimize the level of discomfort that the treatment process causes patients, while ensuring overall safety and effectiveness. For diabetes patients, insulin injections remain an important form of treatment, but the process itself can be painful. With the help of multiphysics simulation, a team of researchers from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology sought to develop a MEMS-based micropump that could administer insulin injections in a safe and painless way.Read More

When you think of a stout beer, one type that may come to mind is Guinness® beer. This stout is very special, noticeable by its dark body and famous white head. The dynamics of the foam alone are interesting enough to write a series of blog posts about. Although I don't drink Guinness® beer (I'm a fan of IPA), I found the longstanding debate about whether its bubbles are rising or sinking while the beer settles makes an interesting simulation.Read More

Muppet Maestros: Madeline Kahn
She was born Madeline Wolfson in Boston on September 29, 1942. Following in the footsteps of her actress mother, Madeline was involved in theater in school and got a drama scholarship to go to Hofstra University. As a summer job, Madeline worked as a singing waitress. One customer requested that she learn the aria "Un Bel Di" from Madame Butterfly. "I just learned that one aria and a few others and then one thing led to another and I studied that, and I discovered that I could sing that, sort of, that way." Eventually she would sing "Glitter and Be Gay" from Candide for Leonard Bernstein's 50th birthday party, and the role of Musetta in La Boheme. Sadly there is no recording of Madeline as Musetta, but there is one of her in Candide which is included on our playlist.
Once she started performing professionally, Madeline changed her last name from Wolfson to Kahn, her mother's maiden name. Her first major role was as Ryan O'Neal's fiancée in What's Up Doc? She'd work again with O'Neal the following year as Trixie in the Oscar-winning Paper Moon.
We really didn't get to see Kahn's comedic genius until she started working with Mel Brooks. Her first role was parodying Marlene Dietrich when she played Lili von Shtupp in Blazing Saddles. Madeline could pull off being totally gorgeous, and hysterically funny, without playing dumb. She was also a good team player. Mel Brooks initially wanted Madeline to play Inga in Young Frankenstein, a role that eventually went to Teri Garr. Madeline insisted she'd be much funnier in the smaller role of the fiancée.
Madeline Kahn's path crossed (possibly for the first time) with Jim Henson and the Muppets in 1976. Madeline was host of Saturday Night Live during the first (and only) season when the Muppets were featured regularly on the show.
Madeline hosted Episode 209 of The Muppet Show. Her unique brand of silliness and ability to relate well to the Muppets, made her a great fit. My favorite Madeline Kahn scene in the show is when she performed the "Happy Girl Meets a Monster" sketch with the Muppet named Doglion. The Happy Girl character is relentlessly cheerful and positive no matter how destructive and horrible the monster is, ultimately making the monster feel bad and making him shrink. The sketch had been done before on The Today Show, The Tonight Show, and The Ed Sullivan Show with two Muppets.
However, probably Madeline's most memorable Muppet moments were in a series of inserts she recorded for Sesame Street in 1978. Most were really brief such as saying the word "me" as it appears over her head and counting to 20 with her "twin." The highlight was when she sang "Sing After Me" with Grover. One thing I didn't notice when I was a child is that Grover is flirting with Madeline! The song also gave Miss Kahn the opportunity to show off her operatic soprano.
In 1979 Madeline made a cameo in The Muppet Movie as Telly Savalas' lisping girlfriend during the El Sleezo scene. In 1981 Madeline returned to Sesame Street in a scene where she and Richard Hunt (in a rare Muppet-less onscreen role) appear as birdwatchers who are seeking out Big Bird. In 1986 she appeared in the celebrity version of "Put Down the Duckie"while balancing a rubber duckie on top of her head. Her final appearance on Sesame Street was in 1994 as the Commissioner of Fun and Games.
Madeline Kahn continued to make movies throughout the 80s and 90s. Mostly comedic roles, but occasionally she'd do a dramatic role such as Martha Mitchell in Oliver Stone's Nixon. Her final role was as Bill Cosby's neighbor on his TV series Cosby. Madeline Kahn was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1999, and died in December of that year.
Madeline Kahn was an incredibly talented actress and singer. The Muppets gave her the opportunity to shine. Enjoy most of Madeline's Muppet Show and Sesame Street performances here on our Muppet Mindset playlist.

I love madeline kahn. I know and own a lot of her appearances with the muppets. But my copy of the mupper movie doesn't have her as a lisping girlfriend. Why's that I wonder? Can anyone give me a link or something? Please. Thank you for this cute,adorable segment update! Thank you hilarie!ReplyDelete
Hugs and giggles~maria gayle
She's the one in the El Sleezo Cafe who says "Hey sailor, buy me a dwink?" Does that ring a bell?ReplyDelete
Always good to see another aficionado of the divine Ms. Kahn. :)
Oh thanks! I feel stupid now that picture just confused me I'm sorry. I love that line! And the one with tellyReplyDelete
'Uh...go wash you'll get warts' to kermit saying 'no that's a myth t: 'well she's my myth' and then the gag begins and I laugh until forever. Thank you hilarie! My brain was being stupid today,that's all.

In several previous blogs, I have mentioned the work of my Aunt Betty Daniells in gathering genealogical information on our ancestors. Betty spent her retirement years traveling in the U.S. and Europe, gathering data. She did her work before the age of the computer, so everything was collected and recorded by hand. Starting with her parents, she followed each line as far as she could. One line, through Juliana Coleman, wife of Peter Plowman, was traced back to around 1400 where it was linked to the royalty of England. The English have historically kept detailed ancestral records so that once a link is established, it is possible to connect dozens of generations. Her research shows that the ancestors of the Daniells/Plowman/Coleman line includes Kings of England, France, Italy, Germany and Poland. Our ancestors include Charlemagne, William the Conqueror, Alfred the Great, and numerous Counts, Dukes, Viscounts, and Earls. Several of our ancestors signed the Magna Carta. Lady Godiva is my 34th great-grandmother.
It is one thing to gather all of the data on European royalty; it is another matter entirely to display it. Betty traced one line 76 generations to Mark Antony and at least six more lines 40 or more generations. It was common practice in the Middle Ages for treaties between nations to include the marriage of one king's daughter to the king's new ally. Lines crisscross and kings have children by multiple wives. No standard genealogy chart handles all of this data. One of Betty's major accomplishments was to organize all of her data into a chart. I have several rough drafts she made on long white window shades. Eventually, she created a copy where each couple's names were typed on tabs which were attached to poster board and then laminated. A picture of this chart, made in two pieces, is shown here. Actually, there is a third piece which connects as an overlay. I don't know if anyone else has been able to create a chart displaying this information, but I think this was a major accomplishment. I think that Betty made a copy of this chart for each of her 11 nieces and nephews.
I was recently able to have the chart scanned and anyone who would like a PDF copy can reach me through the comments section of this blog.

Three-Bread Weekend
Potato-Onion-Rosemary Pizza
I still had four pieces of pizza dough in the freezer.
I had made one soggy pizza and one perfect one (no photos of the perfect one, alas--it's like the one that got away). After baking two pizzas, it was clear to me that I should not use a pizza pan if I wanted a crispy bottom crust. And yet, when I made this third one, I foolishly put it on the pan again. Why? Well, I'd run out of parchment paper, and the topping was so lush with olive oil that I was afraid to put it on the baking stone. I knew what was likely to happen, but I convinced myself that soggy pizza bottoms were a thing of the past.
This pizza is so simple--one new potato, sliced as thinly as possible, about half an onion, also sliced very thinly, some fresh rosemary, and olive oil, all tossed together. Spread on the pizza dough and sprinkle with sea salt. No cheese, no sauce, no tomatoes. And it would have been perfect, too, if I had not ignored my inner voice saying, "Don't use the pan! Don't use the pan!" The edge was so perfect, so crisp, so crusty. Limp in the middle, however.
Remember, BAN THE PAN!

Segale con Pancetta (Rye Bread with Pancetta)
I've grown to be very fond of Carol Field's The Italian Baker. It's probably my favorite, except for The Bread Bible, of course, which is, after all, a bible. But Field's breads are all very hearty and flavorful. This rye bread, studded with bits of pancetta, is no exception. It's about half-rye, half-white flour, which makes it very dense--really more like a whole-wheat bread than a rye. When I tasted this bread, I realized how much I associated caraway seeds with rye--this has no seeds, and, hence, it doesn't taste much like traditional rye bread.
I used my bread steamer, and, since I had two loaves to bake, I experimented. On the first loaf, I steamed for only five seconds and kept the lid on for 20 minutes. On the second, I steamed longer (15 seconds) but kept the lid on for only 10 minutes. They look quite different--the second one (to the right) got browner and the flour pattern from the banetton doesn't show as much, although I put equal amounts of flour in both. I put the second loaf in the freezer, so, as Jim pointed out to me, it wasn't much of a taste test, but there was no way I was going to cut up two loaves of bread for two people. I do have some sense of propriety.
This bread is excellent with gouda, goat cheese and Zinfandel, which is what we happened to have on hand.
I wasn't sure how it would toast, which is always my second criterion for bread, but I had some this morning with an egg. Very nice! It was like having a bacon and egg breakfast without the bother of cooking the bacon.

Multigrain Bread Extraordinaire
Monday's bread is from The Bread Baker's Apprentice, by Peter Reinhart. This "extraordinaire" bread is supposed to be the new, improved version of his struan bread, which seems to be a favorite bread with everyone. Rose's version of struan bread, which she has on her blog, caused her to write to Reinhart that this bread made her proud to be a bread-baker. It's not a complicated bread at all--it just has a little cornmeal, rolled oats, and wheat bran mixed in with a basic white bread recipe. I think the "improved" part just involves mixing the grains the night before with enough water to moisten them. This is supposed to make excellent toast, but, as of Monday night, I haven't tried that version. Because the tomatoes are plentiful, and because of the promised splendid toast, BLT's seem to be in my future.
Here is what I learned about a three-day weekend. I can never retire! I baked (and ate) an insane amount of bread this weekend. Where I usually make one thing per weekend (manageable), I made three (messy and gluttonous). Work saves me from myself.

All your breads look fabulous. I especially like the Multi-Grain Extraodinaire because multi-grains are my favourite. I've been eyeing that recipe as one to try. Peter Reinhart may have professional photographers but it is your photos that make me want to get baking.
- jini said...
ah, but marie you CAN retire. you just go to the Y now and then, and buy bigger clothes. :) works for me!
if you have another 3 bread weekend, let me know....i am usually available for tasting.
- Susan said...
They all look great (you'd never know from the photo that the pizza was soggy) but I think my favorite is also the multigrain. BLT's - yes!
- breadbasketcase said...
The multi-grain recipe is one that you could easily play with, adding different grains and seeds. It does make fabulous toast, by the way.
But I'm trying to avoid going one size bigger! Are you saying just give in? That might happen.
I know, doesn't the pizza look crisp and crunchy? That's why it was such a disappointment to bite into the middle.
- breadbasketcase said...
Susan (again),
By the way, I just looked at your Overnight Ciabatta posting. What a magnificent looking loaf of bread--it just looks perfect in every way!
- Amy said...
I love your blog. And yes, that multi-grain extraordinaire makes excellent toast!
- breadbasketcase said...
Thanks Amy, I see you've made tortillas--that's on my list of things to try.
I've enjoyed your blog since the beginning. You've got a terrific sense of humor too. Anyway, I'm one of the struan lovers and want to encourage you (if you didn't do it already) to make the bread using the cooked brown rice. It adds a nice chewiness to the bread and is worth cooking some rice just because you want it for this bread. Then use it for some sort of grilled sandwich.... you won't be sorry.
- breadbasketcase said...
Susan in SF,
I didn't use the cooked brown rice because it didn't seem worth cooking just a few tablespoons for this recipe. It was nice and chewy without it, but I'll try it next time I make this recipe. I also think I'll just try the regular struan recipe next time, not the "extraordinaire," to compare. Sadly, we ate the entire loaf before I had a chance to try a grilled sandwich. Again--next time!
erm name three breads that use different flour
Can u plz reply 2 the previous question!

Kids? They don't have money. So thirteen bucks might not be much to working adults, but it is when you are a child—a MMORPG playing child, that is.
Dragon Quest X is, for the first time in the DQ series, a subscription-based MMORPG. To enable kids the ability to play for two hours at set times everyday free of charge, there is "Kid's Time". However, as one young player supposedly pointed out, that's not enough.
"I'm a kid," wrote, well, apparently a kid on the game's official boards. The child thought about getting a thirty day pass for ¥1,000 (US$13), but he said he didn't have enough pocket money. "Please either lower the subscription fee or extend the kid's time."
Taking the cause directly to Square Enix! This is one smart kid with no money or one cheap adult with no scruples.

Did you know that there are certain foods you can eat which help to clean your teeth? In dentistry we look at the impact of food in three ways: the kind of food, how often it is eaten, and when it is eaten. There are some cleansing foods that should be the last piece of food you consume during a meal for best results. Think of them as the closest you can get to brushing your teeth.
A healthy diet is important for oral health as well as overall health, but here are some foods that can help clean your teeth and mouth:
Celery sticks
As you can see, good cleaning foods are usually foods that are firm and crisp. They act like scrubbers on and around your teeth and gums and bring your mouth's ph back to 7.0, which is optimal.
Which foods are the worst for your teeth?
You guessed it, cookies, cakes, breads, chips, crackers, soft drinks, dried fruit, and candies (what many people's diets are full of) provide carbohydrates (sugar) to the bacteria in your mouth causing an acidic environment and increasing the chance of cavities and decay. These foods are sticky and don't rinse easily from your mouth. Avoid letting these foods sit on your teeth after eating them.
It also depends on how often you consume these foods throughout the day. For example, if you drink soft drinks, it's best to have it all in one sitting instead of sipping it all throughout the day. Doing so causes the perfect environment in your mouth for bacteria to flourish and your saliva never gets the chance to neutralize its ph.
This is where eating cleansing foods can come into play. When you're about to finish your meal, have an apple, celery stick, or carrot. It will act like a "natural toothbrush." Also, try to make these foods the basis for snacks you have throughout the day.
Always remember, these foods are not a replacement for brushing and flossing. You still need good dental hygiene regardless of what you're eating! For more tips and tricks for ideal oral health, ask Dr. Alina Bergan the next time you visit our Cedarhurst, NY office!
If you have questions about your oral health call us today at 800-223-0801 to schedule an appointment. You can also schedule online at http://www.alinabergandds.com/appointments/

Energy Journal: Iran Agrees to Talks
Iran will resume talks with global powers aimed at curbing its nuclear program, offering the Obama administration's new national-security team a shot at resolving one of the world's most intractable security challenges, while potentially removing some of the risk premium that has propped up the price of oil.
Talks scheduled to begin Feb. 26 in Almaty, Kazakhstan, will see the U.S. and its allies offer a revised package of economic incentives, The Wall Street Journal reports. In exchange, Tehran would have to agree to ship its growing stockpile of near weapons-grade nuclear fuel out of the country.
The talks come as splits emerge within the Islamic Republic. A very public spat between President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and parliament speaker Ari Larijani on Sunday was followed by the arrest, then release, of one of the president's allies.

On the way to dinner last night we walked past the shop and saw them in there so we ran in to say hi. There was a shirt that caught my eye in passing. It said, "We are... Pissed off." I talked to the nephew of the owner about it and he said that the shirt was causing a lot of controversy. Apparently it was on the shelf before the Freeh report was released and before the NCAA handed down the punishments. The intent was that as a community, the Penn Staters are pissed that those in power allowed something like this to occur (i.e. pissed at Sandusky, Curley, Schultz, Spanier and Paterno), but it has been taken by some that they're pissed about the punishment that has been handed down and the JoePa statue being taken down. I just found it interesting.
Quality operation, I order a fresh batch of t-shirts and sweats from them every couple years.

Great shots and a great layout. Love the Kermit shirt!ReplyDelete
I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I will keep her and her family in my prayers.
My children and I will pray for your friend and her family, breast cancer has taken many of our loved ones, friends and family, and I don't understand either :(ReplyDelete
Someday I will join that challenge...I just have to get more motivated...
Doing the tax isn´t funny!! You needed a brake and frozen yoghurt is great therefore.ReplyDelete
We love frozen yoghurt!
The salad looks so yummy and make me hungry.
I´ll pray for Barbara and her family
I am so sorry about your friend Barbara. I hate breast cancer--it is horrible. I will definitely be praying for her and the family over the next couple of days--I know that it will be very difficult for them to watch. What comfort to know that she is going where there will be no more pain!ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend Barbara...she's so young and will leave behind so many. I love Yogurt World -- especially when I remember to take a Lactaid ahead of time.ReplyDelete
Sorry for your friend and her family. I wish them all the strength and love they need!ReplyDelete
Great pictures! The taxes-thing does looks heavy. Here we get a paper home, and then we log into a web-page to confirm that the paper had the correct figures. It has become so easy over the last couple of years with the Internet and all.
Yogurt..looks great!
Your T-shirt..very cute!
I'm so sorry to hear about Barbara. I will be praying for her and her family.
Love that tax photo!! And your food looks YUMMY as usual!ReplyDelete
I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I will remember her and her family in my prayers as she finishes her battle and goes home to the Lord.
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend - I'll keep her family in my thoughts.ReplyDelete

I love your layout for the dares...and YUM for the froyo!ReplyDelete
I'll definitely be keeping your friend in my prayers!
This is hilarious! I just posted my Fro You day today!!!ReplyDelete
Taxes is how Rick spent the day yesterday, but he just had to get it all ready for the CPA. We need to call him tonight and set up an appointment.
I am SO with you on the email vs the phone thing. I have family who don't check their emails but once a month, and I have to text message one of them and tell her to check her email. The other one doesn't have texting on her phone, but she'll check her email every few days, so it's not as bad.
I'm so sorry to hear about Barbara. I will be praying for her husband and children.
Oh yes, the tax return, which is probably all over the world, unloved!ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry to hear about Barbara. I will be praying for her husband and children. All the Love!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The 2013 Lipscomb cross country season has high expectations. In order to meet those expectations, the season needs to begin.
The Purple and Gold begin their trek on Friday at the Belmont Opener at Percy Warner Park in Vaughn's Gap.
"It is a short, long season," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "This is a pretty low key meet, so it will be fun to see where we are. We host the Atlantic Sun Championships here, so it will be good to get our feet wet on our course. We get a couple of opportunities to race on our course these first couple of meets."
The preseason USTFCCCA regional polls have the Lady Bisons No. 7 in the South Region and the Bisons No. 10.
Gearing up for the opening meet, Taylor said the practices have been great.
"Training has been unbelievable," Taylor said. "We are at a level that we have never been before at any point during the season. We need to translate that to the race, of course.
"We are having the best practices on both sides that I have ever seen. And we are two weeks behind in our training. We went two weeks longer in our base training this year and delayed our quality work by two weeks."
The reason for delaying the quality work is because goals have changed for the entire season.
"We adjusted it because we expect our team to be at the NCAA Championships," Taylor said. "To do that, we planned our training accordingly. In the past, we wanted to be at our physical best at the A-Sun Championships and maybe the regional. We want to drive through that."
Not looking too far ahead, Taylor has specific goals in place for the first meet.
"We have some goals," Taylor said. "How our team interacts types of goals. For our freshmen we need to get their first college racing experience. It will be a great opportunity to see where we are, translating practices into competition.
"We want to get going and keep building from there."

Marincin traded to Regina Pats, Brule claimed off recall waivers by Phoenix.
The Phoenix Coyotes have claimed forward Gilbert Brule off recall waivers. This means that the Oilers will have a $925K cap hit (well, to simplify) on the year rather than $1.85M. When a player is claimed on recall waivers such as this, the original team is "on the hook" for half of the cap hit, while the new team is on the hook for half (the same goes for salary). I think this is a good thing. Gilbert Brule's oft injured/sick/whatever situation wasn't doing the Oilers any favors. Great guy, and I wish him well in Phoenix. I hope he can become a better NHLer there. My prediction though is the Coyotes eventually cut him loose too, and the Oilers take him back for Oklahoma City. Just a guess.
Martin Marincin was also traded today to the Regina Pats (from Prince George Cougars). This is great news for Marincin, as the Cougars are an AWFUL team, while the Pats are quite good. As a reminder, the Pats are Jordan Eberle's old team. They have a shot at the playoffs, whereas the Cougars are definitely mailing the season in.

Sigma Corporation announces reorganization of lens lineup, new products and quality control measures
Lens, camera and flash manufacturer shares plans for Sigma Global Vision at photokina 2012
COLOGNE, Germany, Sept. 17, 2012 – Sigma Corporation of America (www.sigmaphoto.com), a leading researcher, developer, manufacturer and service provider for some of the world's most impressive lines of lenses, cameras and flashes, today announced the family-owned and operated company's Sigma Global Vision from an invite-only event at photokina 2012 in Cologne, Germany.
This announcement explains the restructuring of the Sigma lens lineup into three new categories, the launch of a new lens in each of those categories, the development of a new quality control inspection and measurement system for the lenses, and the design of new software and a USB docking station that will enable photographers to update and adjust their lenses to suit thier personal preferences.
"We're moving in a new direction that simplifies the lens selection process for photographers and helps them realize the full potential of the DSLR system," said CEO Kazuto Yamaki. "In addition to making it easier for photographers to find the right lens, we're empowering them with more control over their equipment, while furthing our commitment to them by establishing a higher expectation for the quality of the lenses we produce."
New lens categories and new lenses
Starting immediately, all newly produced interchangeable lenses from Sigma will be designed for and organized into one of three product categories: Contemporary, Art and Sports. Each line has a clearly defined concept to guide shooters in the selection of the right lens for their photographic interests.
The concept of these categories are as follows:
- Contemporary – These lenses incorporate the very latest technology and keep size and weight to a minimum, without compromising their advanced optical performance or utility. High-performance, versatile, compact and superbly portable, these lenses will be largely comprised of standard zooms, telephoto zooms and high-magnification zooms for an array of photography, including landscape and travel photography, and casual portraiture.
- Art – These lenses are developed with an emphasis on artistic touch and are designed to meet the expectations of users who value a creative, dramatic outcome. Along with landscapes, portraits, still-life, close-up and casual snaps, these lenses are perfect for the kind of photography that unleashes the inner artist. Ideal for studio photography, they offer just as much of an expressive scope when capturing architecture, starry skies, underwater shots and many other scenes. This category will be comprised of many focal lengths and designs, such as large-aperture prime lenses, wide-angle lenses, ultra wide-angle lenses, and macro and fisheye lenses.
- Sports - With their high-level optical performance and expressive power, these lenses can capture fast-moving subjects, even at distance. This line also offers a variety of functions to aid the photographer in challenging conditions and scenarios. Besides sports photography, the lenses are also ideal for nature shots featuring birds, wild animals and other creatures, and for the capture of aircraft, trains, race cars and more. The Sports line is also unique in that users can adjust the lenses' focus speeds and the focus limiters via a button on the lens. The Sports category will be comprised of telephoto lenses, telephoto zoom lenses, super telephoto lenses, super telephoto zoom lenses, and more.
The creation of these new categories comes with the introduction of three new lenses:
- 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC OS MACRO – This new Contemporary lens is designed for cameras with an APS-c sensor and covers a range equivalent to 25.5 to 105mm on a 35mm camera. An upgrade to its predecessor, which was released in December 2009, this general purpose lens offers a new design and a more compact build.
- 35mm F1.4 DG HSM – This Art lens provides photographers with a state-of-the-art alternative to the more conventional 50mm. 1 FLD glass lens and four SLD glass lenses ensure exceptional correction of axial chromatic and lateral aberration. . At low apertures, it can perform like a wide-angle lens; when opened up to F1.4, it will provide background bokeh and make the subject pop like a mid-range telephoto lens.
- 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM – With redesigned mechanics and performance, this Sports lens is an update from its predecessor released in February 2011. This high-performance lens eases difficult shooting conditions by offering a maximum focal length of 300mm and a wide-open aperture of F2.8. This lens, like the other Sports category lenses to come, is dust and moisture resistant, and allows users to adjust the focus speed and the focus limiter via a button on the lens.
New user-control tools and software, and new quality control measures
The new Sigma Optimization Pro software and USB Dock are designed exclusively for these new product lines and will enable Sigma users to connect their lenses to their computers to update lens firmware and fine-tune focus parameters via easy-to-use, on-screen controls.
All of these new lenses will also be subject to Sigma's new, proprietary modulation transfer function (MTF) measuring system called "A1." Named in honor of the company's sole production base, the Aizu factory in Aizu, Japan, the A1 system will allow inspectors to verify previously undetectable high-frequency details in each lens before it is shipped.
"We used to measure lens performance with a MTF measuring system using conventional sensors, but this new A1 system uses our own 46-megapixel Foveon direct imaging sensors," said Yamaki. "We view this new method of performance evaluation as being incredibly important, not only because we owe it to our customers, but because we owe it to ourselves. We've spent more than 50 years perfecting our design and manufacturing processes, and now we deliver a complete package by closing the loop on that commitment to quality by adopting a more stringent verification process."

Derynoski Elementary School has a new dragon mascot that will appear on all apparel and communications from the school.
Eight-year-old Ma-ckenzie Monahan desi-gned the new dragon, which she named Spotty. Mackenzie's dragon competed against 45 other submissions in the Design a Dragon contest.
"We didn't have a consistent dragon," said front office staff member Joy Cooney. Cooney said the school sends out a red dragon emblem with its correspondence, but not-ed that the staff has used whatever dragons they could find online.
Drawing dragons is nothing new for Mack-enzie. Mackenzie has been drawing since she was five and has a soft spot for reptiles, especially dragons.
Mackenzie used various parts from four dragons she had already desig-ned to create the new school mascot.
"I sort of decided to take parts from each and I got that one," she said of Spotty.
Mackenzie found out that her dragon had won over the morning announ-cements.
Mackenzie said she was surprised that she won.
The Design a Dragon Contest was run by Cooney and art teacher Michelle Ginand. The students worked on their submissions on their own time and had to follow certain criteria.
The dragon had to be friendly, mostly red (the Derynoski school color) and show good character, like the students at the school.
"The kids were very excited," said Ginand.

Weekend Baking Project: Raspberry Jalousies
Get the Recipe
In some places, the cool winds of fall are sweeping through, and in others, the last of summer is lingering on. I like to indulge those warm Indian summer mornings with breakfast outside. These jalousies are a great option because they're incredibly simple to put together, especially if you have frozen puff pastry and fresh fruit on hand. A layer of sweetened cream cheese adds a bit of tang and highlights the flavor of the fruit.

Why does self-publishing appeal to you?
Having full creative control is important, and I like to know that care and effort went into every release. Since they are small edition runs, I also know that my releases are going into the hands of people who appreciate what is being put out.
What is something you think people should know about DIY in Houston?
If people can take their minds off of how "creative" they think Austin is, and thinking that moving there will somehow make them that much more of an artist, then they could appreciate Houston and the things it has to offer. Houston's DIY has always stood out to me.
What other creative ventures do you have besides making zines?
I have started making films, which is something I have always been interested in. I have also started 2 bands: a hardcore project with members of some Houston noise bands, and a minimal project.
What new projects are you working on this year?
I will be working on a film installation, a few prints, a collective trade paperback, and many, many zines. I will also be working with other presses from abroad, including Zeitgeists from The Netherlands, and Dark Arts.
What will be on your table at this year's zine fest?
This year I will have zines from Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu, Luc Rioual, and Tom Ogden. I will also be showing a print with museum quality paper and inks by Ryan Lowry. There will be a few more I'm sure, but we'll have to see where the next month or so takes us.

It's quite simply the most immersive, highest-resolution TV experience possible. Sony's premium 4K Ultra HD TV boasts four times the clarity of HD, more brilliant expanded color and up to two times the brightness range of standard LED HDTVs. Breathtaking detail is depicted with pinpoint accuracy for the most natural images. The TRILUMINOS display produces the widest color spectrum we've ever offered in a TV. Best of all, you'll enjoy Sony's exclusive X-tended Dynamic Range local dimming technology for up to 2x the brightness range with deeper blacks than before.
Four times clearer than HD - The 4K Ultra HD screen contains over 8 million individual pixels that transform everything you watch into a life-like experience. Advanced picture processing also ensures that every single pixel displays images with superb brightness and authentic detail.
Upscale everything you watch to 4K Ultra HD - Suddenly, everything looks better. All of your existing HD sports, TV shows and movies are upscaled to super clear 4K quality. Even YouTube clips and smartphone videos are enhanced with stunning results. The 4K X-Reality PRO picture engine analyzes and processes every image to refine color, clarity and detail for a beautifully natural picture.
Up to 2x brightness means contrast beyond comparison - Sony's exclusive X-tended Dynamic Range technology produces contrast beyond comparison. You'll get the peak brightness that LED TVs are known for as well as deeper blacks previously only associated with Plasma TVs. Keeping the light areas bright while keeping blacks truly black is called widening dynamic range. In the image shown, notice the difference in detail of the dark buildings combined with the brightness of the city lights. The difference certainly is dynamic.
More brilliant expanded color - Spoil yourself with the widest color spectrum we've ever offered on a television. Unique to Sony, TRILUMINOS Display technology creates incredibly true, natural shades of colors-just the way you want them. Hard-to-reproduce reds, aqua blues and emerald greens are displayed beautifully, so landscapes and seascapes look more vivid. Faces look better, too, with natural skin tones. It's all thanks to a TRILUMINOS display that uses more colors to produce a more vibrant picture.
Wedge Sound worthy of the picture - It begins with the physical shape of the TV. The Wedge creates extra space at the bottom of the TV for larger speakers and built-in subwoofers. And larger speakers mean richer sound, deeper bass, and louder volume, so you'll hear every hit in a football game and feel the pounding music in a chase scene.
The most feature films in 4K - Add a Sony 4K Ultra HD Media Player (FMP-X10, sold separately) for exclusive access to the Video Unlimited 4K service, which hosts the largest selection of feature films and TV episodes in 4K Ultra HD for the home. Choose to download new releases and classic films for rental or purchase, Or choose from a vast library of included 4K videos.
The future of 4K Entertainment is here - Sony's 2014 4K Ultra HD TVs are optimized to support new codecs that are needed for a variety of current and forthcoming 4K video services including Netflix and Video Unlimited 4K4. There's also 500px for viewing breathtaking professional photos in 4K and PlayMemories Online to share your personal photos. Lastly, they also support the latest HDMI to connect external media players (sold separately), and 4K/60p playback for viewing 4K sports in the future.
Stream PS3 games directly to your TV - Bring the immersive world of PlayStation directly to your TV with PlayStation Now. For the first time discover and play PlayStation 3 games ? all streamed directly to your TV and played by connecting a DUALSHOCK 3 controller to your TV. Choose from individual game rentals or subscribe to a variety channel of games and let epic adventures begin5.

Every movement-like seeing the football flip end to end on a kickoff-appears with true, fluid motion and minimal judder.

The fashion world is buzzing after the Spring/Summer 2014 collections were shown at New York Fashion Week this month, and there are so many things we are looking forward to next season! We saw many new and old trends come through in the new designs, but there is no denying that bold prints are going to be everywhere. Show after show contained neutrals mixed with bright colors and everything from floral prints to tribal prints. One particular print we are seeing time and time again is the animal print, whether it's on apparel, accessories, shoes or luxury designer swimwear pieces. Of course we will be featuring some great new animal prints in the new Lady Lux Clothingcollection that will be coming soon to our online boutique!
Designers from Roberto Cavalli to Rebecca Taylor and so many others featured many different animal prints in their collections, but we did see quite a bit of the oh so luxurious snake print. The snake print pieces are not only found in your typical neutral colors, you can expect to see some bright snake prints in the coming seasons. Animal prints have always been a hot trend, but now we are seeing more and more used in couture collections, and we hope they keep it coming! The Desert Rose a stunning new Lady Lux apparel piece from the 2014 collection that features a neutral brown snake print on a very sexy maxi cut. This style is the perfect cover up for your luxury swimwear and will coordinate with so many new bikini and monokini styles from the new collection.
We are loving the traditional use of animal prints as well as the new combinations we are seeing. For a bold and couture look, animal prints can be worn from head to toe (when done right!) for a couture look, or they can be paired with solids for a more classic look. We love the new Desert Rose Pant paired with your favorite designer swimwear and a solid top. You can even complete the look with bright colored accessories for a fun pop of color. Make sure to keep your eye out for the launch of the new collection of designer swimsuits and apparel.

One Direction - Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson - were discovered on the U.K.'s "The X Factor" in 2010. The band quickly gained a following to become one of the competition's all-time most popular acts, finishing in the final three and garnering a gigantic and loyal fanbase along the way. In March, One Direction's debut album, "Up All Night," made U.S. history, as it was the first time a U.K. group's debut album entered the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at No. 1. The band has sold more than 12 million records worldwide. In November, One Direction released its sophomore album, "Take Me Home," which includes the No. 1 single, "Live While We're Young."
Pitbull has risen to become a global superstar as both a recording and performing artist. The Miami native recently added to a long and growing list of hits with his first No. 1, "Give Me Everything." At the same time, his world tour sold out concerts in Latin America, Canada and Europe, before bringing the party to the U.S., Japan and Australia. Pitbull's new single, "Don't Stop The Party," is gaining heavy momentum on the radio and video charts and is featured on his new album, "Global Warming."
