ellmal replied to ellmal's topic in Firewood forumHi again, thanks for so many responses, didn't expect so many of you will answer my questions, many thanks! Now I know more. My question about measurements was because I started from ebay and first few and most popular auctions are in kg and for ash I saw 12ish £ per 10kg (expensive!), later on after more deeper search I found cubic metres from 100£ to 120£ but not in ebay. Again with quality: how to differentiate high and low quality. Are there any certificates or something? or just trials and luck at first ? My friend mentioned about firewood from eastern europe, cheaper and high quality. I've checked it briefly with him and it is really cheap, he tells me that it is also high quality (they have a lot of forests that's why). I'm asking about certificates etc. because I'm not entirely sure if I should trust him in that case cuz he is not an expert. I can always import more at once and even sell the rest that I don't need, or keep it for next years. Here is my next question: how to store it properly? I have small garage size shed near my house where I planned to store it, but I also have big warehouse where I currently store car parts and electronics(I mean it is dry place etc), I can make separate area and store wood there if I will make one big purchase. Is that good idea? One more: I see kiln dried and seasoned wood, both of them can be under 20% moisture? What are the differences for customer? That is all for now, I'm glad we have this small discussion. Again many thanks for responses. Regards
Firewood general
ellmal posted a topic in Firewood forumAfternoon all, I've been wondering about firewood recently, and I have few questions for specialists like you. I have read something about it but sometimes I'm finding contradictory informations. Let's start from easy one: What is the best/most popular type of firewood? Ash? As I understood moisture content should be under 20% to be considered as good? When I get really confused is measurement, sometimes I see 1m3, sometimes cubic metre and sometimes kg. Can someone explain me how it works, because I see different prices. I've checked few local suppliers, gumtree and ebay/amazon and prices there vary. what is a good price for 1m3, cubic metre and lets say 100kg of Ash(moisture content 18%). Where is the best place to buy firewood because I see on gumtree muuch more lower costs of firewood than compared to ebay for example, why ? I'm placed in Greater Manchester area. Regards Edit: Hope I will start some nice discussion in order to summarize and set in order basic knowledge about firewood because this topic interested me.

It isn't the size that matters; it's what you deliver that really counts.
During the Inception phase Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) teams explore the initial requirements to arrive at a common understanding as to the scope of what they're trying to accomplish. This is an important aspect of your overall project vision (see Chapter 7, "Identifying a Project Vision") and is a key input into release planning (see Chapter 10, "Initial Release Planning"). Furthermore it is necessary to prime the Construction phase with work to do—without at least an understanding of the goals to accomplish your delivery team will flounder.
Some people will tell you that you don't need to do any initial requirements modeling ...

Sometimes I can whip these mood boards out in a couple of hours and sometimes they take me forever. This one took forever, and I'm still not sure I'm 100% happy with it, but deadlines be calling, yo. Part of the reason I think I've agonized over this one so much is that I'm using it as inspiration for our own bedroom. I've already purchased the West Elm duvet and have been trying to figure out which way I want to go with the rest of the bedding. I don't know if we'll pull off this whole mood board, but I think we'll go for some of the pieces to freshen and cozy up our bedroom for the winter months. I've got to say, those Moroccan fur pillows made my heart do a little skippity skip when I first saw them. They are a little bit of a splurge, but I'm thinking they just might be worth it. What do you think?

|Builders of Quality Custom Homes since 1976
Ronnie's father was a carpenter in the area and one of Ronnie's brothers, Ricky, has been working with Ronnie on-site since 1984. Ronnie also has another brother and two sisters.
Ronnie grew up in Cumberland County, on Plateau Road, where his mother still lives today. He married Sheila Blaylock in 1981 and they have two wonderful children.
At the age of 20 Ronnie built a home for himself. After having lived in the house for eight months, he sold it and immediately began another one. And so began Wyatt Builders. Now, some thirty odd years and a hundred and sixty or so homes later, their tradition of quality that began in 1976 is still alive and well.
Some years after their humble beginnings, Ronnie and Shiela built a new home for themselves in Holiday Hills. They later sold it to Ken and Barbara Daugherty who had moved to the area from San Diego, CA. Mrs. Daugherty had this to say about her new 'Wyatt Built' home: "It's a wonderfully built, most elegant home. Ronnie uses all the best materials and makes good use of the space. There are many points of interest in the home, but I really like the way he built the ceilings. We have five different trey ceilings - all impressive. He really takes pains to make every aspect of the home perfect."
One of the keys to Wyatt's consistent quality is a full time, high quality, dedicated crew. "They work for us and draw a regular paycheck every Friday." Ronnie said, "I will always believe that having a full-time crew makes a huge difference. I am a general contractor, but all the credit for our outstanding record for quality should go to the men who have worked for me down through the years." Note: many of the people who have worked for Wyatt Builders have gone on to become contractors for their own building business.
Ronnie is a down to earth Christian gentlman who is easy to talk to and pleasant in manner. In speaking with him personally; his pride in his work is obvious and his passion for what he does makes it hard not to get excited with him. Sheila also, is always pleasant and friendly. All of these things fit together to make a top-notch customer experience that you will find hard to beat.
If you are interested in building a home in the area, be sure and talk to Ronnie before you make your decisions. He will be glad to show you his company's work and no one from Wyatt Builders will ever try to pressure you into anything. We don't need to. Our quality speaks for itself.

Rhyyan's Salve has been loved since she started making it over 7 years ago.
All the herbs (Comfrey, Plantain, and Chickweed) are either grown or wildcrafted by Rhyyan herself.
And the beeswax is from local Old Order Mennonite beekeepers and her Beekeeping Grandpa Tom's hives. The only thing not local to our area is her coconut oil.Guess that is expected here in the Ozarks.
We can't tell you much about it's greatness. We would like to just stay so far away from claiming anything and getting in trouble as we possibly can. 😉
So we put it on things like cracked skin, skinned knees, cuts, bruises and more. If you want, I highly recommend you look into the herbs that are in the salve and see what you find they can do topically.
I think you'll enjoy the research! And I hope after it convinces you to give this salve a try!
We love it so much we always are sure to keep several back up jars around. We have several sizes available. And except for taxes directly for the salve sales, Rhyyan fully runs this end of the business.
She is required to put profits back into supplies if she wants to keep it going. All supplies were bought by her. She started this salve when we gifted a small salve making supplies for her 6th Birthday. It truly was a gift that kept giving until she quits putting in work and love into it. So far at 13, She has kept it alive on her own.
She would love if you continued to support her efforts in this!\

Here is the video from the panel I was on at the Religion News Association conference in Columbus, Ohio, exploring the intersection of religion and science fiction:
PANEL: Close Encounters of the God Kind: Religion in Science Fiction
Religion is everywhere these days. Even Outer Space. Both sci-fi and religion deal with big ideas and imaginary worlds and portray the conflicts between good and evil on an epic scale. Mash-ups of science fiction and faith are found in hit TV shows like "The Expanse," the "Handmaid's Tale," and the "Leftovers" — along with countless books and films. This panel explores what happens when sci-fi and religion meet. No nerd credentials required.
Posted by Religion News Association on Thursday, September 13, 2018
John Scalzi also blogged about it. It was a pleasure meeting him and David Williams (fellow panelists) and disappointing to only get to interact with panelist Farah Rishi via Skype! Kimberly Winston did a great job of moderating the panel and Q&A.
Of related interest:
It is another upcoming event here in Indianapolis that I should highlight. So many of my Butler University colleagues are presenting!

Short Film, 2009–ongoing
Made at Auckland's Media Design School, these CGI short films combine the expertise of lecturer James Cunningham (director of award-winners Poppy and Infection) with the raw smarts and hard work of his 3D animation students. With established industry talents (e.g. writer Nick Ward and cameraman Simon Riera) helping guide the students, the results have won awards and selection to impressive international festivals, including SIGGRAPH. 2011's effort saw the screen debut of alien hunter Dr. Grordbort, originally created by Weta Workshop's Greg Broadmore.
This morbidly funny short, made by students of Auckland's Media Design School, depicts the demise of 26 alphabetical and animated animals at the hands of nature's greatest enemy — the human. Framed as a father possum (Phil Greeves) reading his children their favourite bedtime story, the alliterative animal deaths are undercut with cheerful giggling from the two young possums. The film won acclaim at festivals worldwide —screening at South by Southwest in 2016, and taking out Best Animated film in the Comic-Con Film Festival later that year.
Das Tub kickstarted an award-winning run of CGI short films for Media Design School students working under their 3D animation tutor, director James Cunningham. Part live-action, part CGI, its tale of a German U-boat crew facing danger under the ocean pays homage to submarine classic Das Boot — before a Pythonesque twist which features a cameo from writer Nick Ward. Short, sharp and lovingly rendered, the film won 'best short short' at the 2011 Aspen Shortsfest, while Cunningham (Poppy, Infection) took Best Director at the Honolulu Film Awards.
Armed with his trusty ray gun and protected by his pith helmet Lord Broadforce's exotic species search on an alien planet is going swimmingly — until the dame gets colonial angst. The short is based on the sci-fi world of Dr Grordbort created by Weta Workshop's Greg Broadmore (designer on District 9), in which Victorian steampunk meets alien trophy hunting. The live action-CGI film was created over 22 weeks by 11 students of the Media Design School's 3D animation programme, under the direction of James Cunningham. Broadmore followed with a Grordbort video game in 2018.
The kitchen might seem an ordinary place to most, but if you're a snail like the ones in this short film, untold horrors await. When five snails accidentally find themselves in a salad, they must embark on a great escape, and race — as quick as is realistically possible — toward the relative safety of the outside world. Fate, it seems, has other plans. Escargore features the work of 22 third-year students at Auckland's Media Design School, and was directed and co-written by lecturer Oliver Hilbert. The short won Best Character at the 2015 Animago Awards in Germany.
This live-action CGI short attempts to find the answer as to why UFO sightings have been in decline recently. The truth is indeed out there, but in this sci-fi spoof, it turns out to be the result of alien bureaucratic cover-ups, outsourcing and an unorthodox use of space probes. The film was made by students in the 3D Productions course that director James Cunningham teaches at Media Design School — a one day green screen shoot, 14 weeks of post-production. Written by Nick Ward, First Contact won selection to computer graphics conference SIGGRAPH 2011.
This gleefully violent "zombie romcom" is another offering from Auckland's Media Design School, where 3D CGI students collaborate with their tutor, director James Cunningham, and industry veterans. Based on an idea from course grad Philip Magnussen, Rotting Hill sees two lovers — played by Anna Hutchison (Go Girls, The Cabin in the Woods) and Australian actor Jason Smith (Home and Away) — finding that "true love never dies" in a post-human future. The short has netted over one million views on Vimeo. Keep tissues handy: you may shed a tear ... or maybe an eyeball.
The adage that in a long-term relationship things can get a little like clockwork is given a twist in Time for Change. A simmering spousal feud between two wooden figurines on the town clock of an Austrian village, comes to a head with unexpected results. Lederhosen, accordions, and desire for a young blonde are oiled with a keen sense of black humour. Made by students in the 3D course that director James Cunningham teaches at Media Design School, the film won viewers online, selection for SIGGRAPH, and a Big Kahuna (best animation) at the Honolulu Film Awards.

Why we love our imported Malbec…
Our love of deep purple is just one reason we adore our marvelous imported Malbec. As part of a select group of Bordeaux varietals, this prestigious club of grapes is an important part of France's wine history. While most think of the French wine regions of Bordeaux when its name is mentioned, and rightfully so, imported Malbec has since made a name for itself in Argentina. The altitude and terroir of the region make for perfect Malbec conditions. The Mendoza wine region for instance, is home to the magical Caligiore Ecological Vineyards, producer of a phenomenal line of organic imported Malbec vintages that are truly special. Well we assume you'll be having a glass of imported Malbec with dinner tonight, so cheers to you and this marvelous wine!

Halloween is an escape from troubled times, and as Oct. 31 has rolled around in recent years, Americans have spent several simoleons on the spooky holiday. But as the economy has turned a corner this year, Americans are projected to spend 13.9 percent less on costumes, candy, and decorations this year.
According to this story in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the National Retail Federation's Halloween Spending Survey shows 25.2 percent of Americans plan to spend less this Halloween than last year, and projections show a 13.9 percent dip in overall spending from a year ago ($8 billion to $6.9 billion). Still, that's more than twice what America spent on ghoulish goods in 2005 ($3.2 billion).
That's good news for Realtors who often anticipate fall as a seasonal slowing of the Real Estate Market. This post on the Ebby Halliday Realtors Blog breaks down the numbers from NTREIS, showing that while temperatures are cooling in North Texas, the real estate market is still very hot.
A few of the highlights from the NTREIS numbers for September 2013 vs. September 2012 include:
* Days on Market were down 26.6% to 59 days on average.
* Percent of original list price received was up 1.2% to 94.7% of asking price.
* Closed sales were up 10.2%.
* Finally, the median sales price was up 8.5%.
Amazing news, and it's incredible how well our market is performing with single-family homes in such short supply. What are you seeing in your neighborhood this fall?

We couldn't stage the Trail Challenge without the support of fantastic local businesses like Canine & Co - in this blog they introduce themselves, outline the prizes they are donating, and what they'll have available for you on race day. Thank you to Canine & Co from all at Trail Betws.
Since the first Betws-y-coed Trail Challenge in 2013 we have worked with our charity partner Help for Heroes. In this blog post Jon, who volunteers as an event organiser with us, tells us why he supports Help for Heroes.
A lovely surprise email for our race director, Jayne.
Some runners are wondering why we close entries 2-3 weeks before race day, and won't be accepting entries on the day. In this post Jon, one of our behind the scenes volunteers, explains why.
A short piece I have written about my recent run up to Llyn Elsi as part of my training for this year's Betws-y-coed Trail Challenge. - Lora

DeAndrea Salvador, RETI's founder and Executive Director, spoke at the TED Conference in April. She took the stage in Vancouver, Canada and spoke about the origin of her drive, why she began RETI, and the importance of their work to alleviate High Energy Burdens.
She shared with the audience that,
"Growing up, stories of next door neighbors having to set up fake energy accounts or to "steal" energy seemed normal to me. During the winters, struggling to get warm, my neighbors would have no choice but to bypass the meter after their heat was shut off just to keep their family comfortable for one more day [...] These kinds of dangerous incidents can take root when people are faced with impossible choices".
High Energy Burdens are a chronic issue, and must be counteracted with more than the temporary solutions available, such as Energy Assistance. RETI hopes to coordinate with communities and uplift them through:
Education: hosting workshops and events
Home Improvements: better insulation
Smart-home research programs: Smart technology to lower energy bills
Shared Solar grids: participants can offset their energy bill
Cooperation: promoting more equitable pricing by working directly with utility companies
The end of DeAndrea's TED talk was met with enthusiastic applause both in Vancouver, and her home city of Charlotte, where we live streamed the conference for her supporters.

The iPad. In 2010 (and later 2011 for the iPad 2) the iPad was the revelation that educational technology sort of needed at the time - think about the devices we had at our disposal. It was the book-sized iPhone/iPod Touch that allowed us as teachers to allow students to document learning in a way that laptops could not. The rear-facing camera alone was the gateway to many apps that allowed students to create, edit, produce and share learning to a stream (social or otherwise) of choice. The speed of this process was astounding to many who had been using PCs or Macs to record learning. Remember, the device of this size at the time that would come close to similar portability was the dieing and quickly defunkt netbook (intel celeron, 2Gb RAM, 180Gb HDD in a 10" form factor).
Since then, the iPad has gone through various iterations increasing to the Air 2 and now the Pro. We know the benefits of the Pro: Pen enabled, four Speaker setup and a keyboard dock. The Air 2 is no more as of March 2017. In its place there is the remaining iPad Mini 4 (who in hell uses a Mini or even iPod touches any more?), the Pro and the 'iPad'. It stands alone as an amalgamation of the original Air and the innards of the Air 2 - it's a step backwards in terms of what I would expect Apple to offer in terms of choice for Schools considering their constant marketing.
If you look at what this newer version of the iPad is though in terms of the education market, what the iPad has actually turned into and how we are using them, the price point makes a little more sense. However, if you are a teacher or a tech leader in your school/district then you know that this iPad makes actual little difference unless you have a BYOD/BYOAD (bring your own advised device)/school-owned programme.
The problem I have with this iteration is the lack of keyboard dock and lower grade screen. Why have Apple not put a dock connector on it? Well, they want you to have the perception that the lower cost is a bargain at $110 per year (we run on a 3 year life span or planned obsolescence 3x$110=$329 MSRP). This time Apple, this is not a plan I want to engage with for several reasons.
That downgraded screen. The original Retina screen became a laminated and glare resistant beauty. This allowed students to read text for prolonged times under classroom strip lighting with ease. The resolution is the same as any retina however we all know that not all screens are born equal - that coating made a difference.
Keyboard. Want to secure a place at the wider education market Apple? Then offer the keyboard dock. We can't continue to use on-screen keyboards that take up half the screen while menus take up a top third. That 9.7" screen is almost obliterated. And yes, Logitech et al may make a fantastic few Bluetooth keyboards but this adds another cost. And bundle the goddam thing with it. I mean the iPad keyaboard is no great shakes to type on but it is far better than an on-screen version taking up half the screen.
iPads are fast becoming single use devices and Apple knows it. This is why they are try force us to buy into the Pro lines of iPads.
Apple classroom is a maelstrom of protocols that shared devices don't need to go through. Offer multiple logins from the 'swipe to unlock' screen that offers access to apps each user/students/teachers need without the need for a teacher's device to control this or to jail break them.
Apps. There are 1.1Million apps in the App Store that are iPad optimised. Let's be honest here and say that maybe 20 or so are 'Core' apps for school and the rest are niche for specialist learning.
Apps 2. The other side to this coin is the basic apps list that families with children have or older parents need to remain in contact with their grand children's development: Mail/Gmail, browser, iPhoto (maybe Flickr), Google Photos, Netflix permanently on Kid mode and possibly a shopping/A.N.other app. Thesa
The death of multi-use iPads. This is where the iPad comes to see out its time as a computer: the single-use appliance. The iPad, as you may have seen in many an outlet (mine was at the hospital two weeks back) where an iPad has taken the place of an everyday item: Kiosk, A/V outlet or controller, menu and ordering device, voting device such as toilet cleanliness voter or other convenience where paper or a resistive screen was once being used. A terminal neither intelligent nor dumb.
So a rethink of the use of the iPad has prompted me to really question and evaluate the actual use within school of the iPad and is it really the actual device we need for us to be 1:1? We also need to evaluate the effectiveness of the apps being used and can they be supplied by another OS?
The reason I am questioning the iPad is that we see that it's not going to evolve much more than it is right now in any short timeframe. After seven years the thing has only just acquired a stylus/Pencil, a few speakers, fingerprint reader and you still can't use it like a regular desktop, no matter what the marketing will have you believe, it's certainly time to look at a much broader more innovative picture beyond a solely mobile device. The move by Apple and Logitech to produce a travesty of design that is the 'Approved Case' for education. I can't help but think this reminds me of something...
What are the pros and cons of the iPad as a 1:1 device? Well, portability is one massive plus. The camera is the single best attribute. AirDrop is a Godsend when we need to transfer masses of video during film projects. The App Store is another bonus especially if you're after a creative outlet to maximise the camera or quickly document something. Art and music are a fantastic combination on the iPad and there are a slew of apps that can facilitate this. However, that's about it as far as I can see and, in a primary school, we need a see-all do-all device due to six specialist and four core curriculum areas. And, with the exception of iMovie and GarageBand I'm stuck as for what else we really need it for. Hence this huge rethink.
Let's take a look at the things that we need the iPad for that are unique to the iPad: iMovie, GarageBand, Airdrop and few iOS only apps like Paper53. However, for every Paper53 there's Wacom Bamboo, Adobe or an AutoDesk thing. So that's about it. The Pencil has its competitors in the Surface/Wacom line and now the Chromebooks from Samsung and the functionally these new styluses offer wipe the floor with Apple's single use stylus. The App Store argument hits a wall because, well, the Windows Store isn't going to get busy with mobile/ touch- friendly apps any time soon (just dig two layers down into Windows 10 and you soon hit Win XP menus) and with Android Nougat making its updated guidelines for App developers to focus on larger screens for Chromebooks, I'm afraid it scrutinises Apple's pertinence for the education market even further. The new NAN (Neighbourhood Access Network) protocol (a sleeping giant of an update) means that the AirDrop argument is no longer strong enough. Even Windows is struggling with this one even though pairing is kind of working for anything other than Windows Phone OS.
iPads, much like Apple's laptops/desktops in schools, prestige only pays for prospective parents' eyeballs as they walk around school. They see the logo glowing or gleaming from the backs of them and it shows that the school must put technology high on the agenda. This is no longer the case - it only means in the current climate that money is being willingly being thrown away where, it once had a strong argument due to ease of use and processes such as AirDrop. The iPad (Macbooks too) now have serious competition and I think that the once scoffed at Android/ Chromebook combo is making a lot of ground.

The parents of Ethan Couch, the 16-year-old Fort Worth-area kid sentenced to probation after killing four people while driving drunk in 2013, will only pay for a fraction of his stay at a state rehab center in Vernon, MyFoxDFW.com reports.
Couch drew headlines and ire after a defense expert testified the teen suffered from "affluenza," because his wealthy parents never gave him any sense of responsibility or consequences.
At a hearing April 11, officials from the North Texas State Hospital in Vernon "said that Couch's care will cost $715 per day. [They] recommended his parents be ordered to pay a maximum of $1,170 per month -- less than two days per month of treatment," according to MyFoxDFW.
Like many other people, we're a little confused by this decision: If extraordinary wealth was ostensibly a factor in Couch's deadly actions, why are his parents allowed to pay on a sliding scale?
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Well, we just hope Couch gets the treatment and help he needs. It's hard out there for affluenza sufferers. Sometimes they get slapped on the wrist quite hard, and it can hurt for a few minutes.

With the majority of existing buildings still to be in use by 2050, the potential for improving their energy efficiency is vast, and easier than you think, says Ian Orme
The release of the Synthesis report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlighted the need to reduce carbon usage, and with non-domestic buildings in the UK being responsible for about a fifth of the country's total carbon emissions, the potential for carbon reduction is significant.
Furthermore, gaining real-world results for your organisation does not necessarily mean making huge adjustments – in fact, some efficiency improvements require a minimal of change.
As the majority of existing buildings will still be in use by 2050, improving energy performance of existing buildings is important to help the country to meet its emission reduction targets.
Energy can be saved by better control and management of the systems with large energy consumption associated with them to eliminate the waste. In non-domestic buildings, the installed heating, ventilation and cooling system (HVAC) is normally the highest energy consumer, with lighting the second biggest load and a major source of internal heat.
Small power loads are not only a considerable energy consumer but it also contributes significantly to internal heat gains.
To enhance energy performance of buildings in operation, operators and occupants have vital roles to play. Below is a list of simple low/no cost energy efficiency measures that the operators can implement in their buildings. Some of these measures require occupants' cooperation and can even lead to desired behaviour change.
Practical measures
Energy can be saved by:
- Conducting regular energy audits to determine where and how energy is used in the building;
- Measuring HVAC weather-dependent energy consumption, using degree days, regularly (eg quarterly) to ensure the system is correctly adjusted based on the outdoor temperature;
- Increasing operating efficiency of chillers, boilers and cooling equipment via proactive service and planned maintenance;
- Calibrating thermostats and sensors and increase the operating set-points to allow a larger temperature difference that reflects the outside conditions (eg raising the set-point in the summer to 24 deg C and reducing it in the winter to 19 deg C);
- Reminding occupants, via emails, posters, etc to dress appropriately to the time of year;
- Modification of controls to prevent heating and cooling systems from operating simultaneously;
- Implementing setback plans to reduce or eliminate HVAC use during unoccupied hours;
- Ensure radiators (if any) are working to their full capacity (eg no blockages internally or externally) so that portable heaters can be removed;
- Ensuring that heating/cooling doesn't escape the building via windows left open, and checking for drafts through leaky windows and doors;
- Using energy-efficient lamps (eg compact fluorescents or LEDs) that not only can help cut lighting operational costs but also enhance lighting qualit
- Ensuring the workstation allocation is aligned with the artificial lighting requirements of the work to remove the need for extra task lamps;
- Improve lighting control by labelling manual light switches (if any) to remind and encourage occupants to turn lights off when they are not in use, installing occupancy sensors especially in rooms that are frequently unoccupied, check whether the daylight sensors (if any) are working correctly , reminding occupants to adjust the window blinds (if any), when there is no glare issue, to make the most of daylight and also by checking the default time delay for the lights with PIRs sensors (if any) to ensure it is not too long for different areas;
- Measuring light levels in different zones regularly (eg very month) to ensure not too high wattage lighting is in use;
- Using energy efficient (Energy Star-rated) equipment throughout the building;
- Raising occupants' energy awareness and encouraging/reminding them to switch off their appliances when they are not in use.

I am trying to teach you something here!
We all know life is a challenge. We wouldn't have it any other way. How boring would life be if we knew everything that was coming or could easily overcome obstacles? The key is to acknowledge the challenges for what they are... co-creations of our lives. I know it is hard to see suffering and believe on some level that person created it for themselves. Of course they didn't do it on purpose, but there is a part of their divine intellegence that wants them to have this suffering experience. Something to learn from. This same thing comes to you. Some things in life, you can't do without suffering. Not because you WANT to suffer, but because you struggle with seeing life any other way unless something drastic comes along to change it. If we knew how, we could easily learn all things without suffering. But for what ever reason, we have set ourselves up to "learn the hard way" most of the time. How differnt would your life be if you viewed these challenges and suffering in your life as gifts rather than punishments? How would you recieve your challenges? What if you looked at it as an opportunity with an intention behind it? There is no random order of things. All things happen in perfect timing. The best way to cope with the challenging times is to say "what is the universe trying to bring me here?" "What gift am I to have that I could have no other way?"
Let me give you an example. Several years ago, my husband and I hit a "bump" in the road if you will. He did things, that at the time, I would have thought were unforgiveable. He didn't do anything TO me, but I surely felt like it was done TO me. I struggled with the victim role I was suddenly feeling in. I fought with it and struggled with it and begged the universe to explain itself to me. You know what... IT DID! I soon discovered that I was out of balance with my life. I was devoting my every waking hour to my kids, home and husband. Not a very balanced approach to life, because I left out a key ingredient... ME. Because I felt so victimized from my situation, I gave myself permission to focus on me. I found time to exercise, take classes, meditate more. I did all of things thing, at first, to spite my husband for not taking my gift of self sacrifice fully. Guess what, he didn't want it! He wanted me to be this well rounded person who first took care of me. I wouldn't have been able to do it, if at first, I hadn't felt justified in some way other than, I just need time for me. Now I have time for me, and it is great and everyone is happier. But it took this experience to show me "how" to give to me.
Insightful Inspiration for the week
What are you struggling with right now? Big or small... pick something you want to focus on learning from. Send it love an gratitude for trying to break through to you. Even if it is a struggle to send it gratitude, do what you can here. Then ask it, what are you trying to teach me? What am I suppose to be getting out of this experience. Then, just wait. You will find the answer in your life if you pay attention. It may not come to you in a meditation or as a "sign" but you will start to get hints. You only have to listen and don't doubt the coincidences.
The universe responds to us, we just don't always speak the same language. It is kind of like you are a baby, screaming for something. You don't even know what it is, all you know is you are uncomfortable. The universe has changed you, fed you and burped you and you are still screaming. You need to send clearer, better signals that the universe can understand. This means first, you have to check in with yourself and KNOW what you want to ask for. You are still going to be put down in a place you don't like sometimes. You may protest, but maybe the universe wants you to learn something from it first and then you will be moved again. I am getting the baby metaphore a lot lately, so honor yourselves with that newness that you once had see how it works in your life.
Happy exploring! Email me or comment here if you have questions or comments. I love the converstations with all of you!

In the analysis of plate and shell bending problems using an isogeometric Reissner‐Mindlin approach, transversal shear locking effects may occur especially for thin structures. One possibility to overcome locking effects is to increase the polynomial order of the NURBS basis functions. However, there are certain examples where this method shows some deficiencies, like oscillations. For low polynomial degrees, there exist only a few effective concepts for the elimination of locking effects. One is the enhanced assumed strain (EAS) method which is used in finite element formulations and which is sensitive to distorted element geometries. Beirão da Veiga et al. [1] introduced a new approach for a Reissner‐Mindlin plate formulation where the displacements and rotations of the mesh are approximated using different control meshes. The physical space of the structure always remains the same. Hence, the method is in accordance to the isoparametric paradigm. However, the shape functions for the approximation of the displacements and the rotations may have different polynomial degrees and number of control points. In this way, the compatibility requirement for pure bending is fulfilled and shear locking is avoided. The method is tested for an isogeometric Reissner‐Mindlin plate formulation, which is based on a degenerated shell formulation [2]. Basic examples are chosen and the results are compared to the unaltered isogeometric Reissner‐Mindlin plate and the finite element Method using MITC elements. The results show that the method has similar accuracy and efficiency as the MITC element and is also applicable for skew element geometries. (© 2017 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Unquestionably, Australia is one of the most exciting and distinctive wildlife safari locations on this planet. Sasakwa Lodge, the company's flagship property, is an Edwardian manor situated on a Tanzanian hilltop; Faru Faru Lodge is set in an enchanted forest beside the Grumeti river; and Sabora Tented Camp, with its air-conditioned Bedouin tents, is down on the plains where the motion is.
In three days we added to our checklist of animals we might seen: mountain zebra, back wildebeest, giraffe, buzzard, pale chanting goshawk, southern boubou, wattled starling, baboons, glossy starling, tortoise, rock kestrel, brown hooded kingfisher, spring hare, steenbok, eland, hartebeest, blessbok, mountain reedbuck, gemsbok, terrapin, boubou, pink-winged starling, drongo, mouse fowl, fiscal shrike, black eagle nest, grey wing franklin, bokmakierie, ostrich, rhino, cheetah, nightjar, jackal I fed child meerkats with shongololos, had a scary stand-off with the buffalo and recorded two tortoises having it off.
Led by Alex Walker, a fourth-technology Kenyan with impeccable bush credentials, this brand-new holiday takes the fun of safari to a different level as your loved ones, including children of all ages, will learn to guide like an expert, drive your individual 4WD throughout the Serengeti and simply fall in love with Tanzania.
At Natural World Safaris, we're former wildlife safari guides and specialists in the Natural World, ensuring you rise up shut and personal with the wildlife in query whilst promoting responsible journey and supporting native conservation tasks.
The Luangwa Valley is where the idea of strolling safaris was reinvented, and at Tafika, an idyllic camp on the banks of the Luangwa River, it has been advantageous-tuned to perfection by John Coppinger, certainly one of Zambia's most respected guides.

How to shrink C drive and data volume in Windows 7
Some people forget to create and edit partition when installing Windows 7 on a new disk, so all disk space except the system reserved partition is occupied by C drive. In this situation, you can shrink C drive to create more drives. Some people want to shrink volume D to extend C drive, because it is running out of space. In this article I'll introduce how to shrink volume in Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit) Disk Management. If you cannot shrink C drive with this native utility, run professional disk partition software.
Shrink C drive in Windows 7 Disk Management
To shrink partition C in Windows 7, you can accomplish with built-in Disk Management without 3rd-party partition software. The advantages include:
- Shrink volume without reboot.
- Safe in most conditions.
- Fast, it can be done within several minutes.
However, there are some inherent limitations and I'll show you later.
How to shrink C drive in Windows 7 step by step:
Step 1: Press and on keyboard, type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter to open Disk Management.
Step 2: Right click C drive and click Shrink Volume.
Step 3: Enter the amount of space and click Shrink to execute.
C drive will be shrank in a while.
Limitation of Disk Management to shrink volume:
As you see, my Windows 7 test computer C drive has 146.43GB free space, but I can only shrink 78.65GB free space. Why I cannot shrink volume to smaller size?
Have you noticed the tip in Step 3? "You cannot shrink a volume beyond the point where any unmovable files are located." What does it mean?
For example: C drive is made up of 4 blocks 1, 2, 3 and 4 as below. If the unmovable files are located in block 3, you cannot shrink C drive to block 2 or 1 even though there is free space.
Then what are the unmovable files? It could be Page File, Hibernation file or other large files.
Can only generate Unallocate on right side
This is another obvious limitation of Windows 7 Disk Management, which cause you unable to extend C drive by shrinking D. When shrinking partition D with Shrink Volume functionality, Unallocated space is generated on the right side of D, but to expand C drive with Extend Volume, the Unallocated space should be on the left side of D.
That means, you can only decrease a partition to create new drive with Shrink Volume. If you want to shrink a drive to extend another one, it is impossible.
FAT32 partition cannot be shrank
Shrink Volume only supports NTFS partition, FAT32 and other types of partitions cannot be shrank.
Luckily, no matter you want to shrink C drive or any data volume in Windows 7, you can accomplish with professional disk partition software such as NIUBI Partition Editor.
Shrink volume in Windows 7 with software
As I said above, some people want to shrink C drive and some want to shrink data volume to extend C drive, here I'll introduce one by one.
1. How to shrink C drive with NIUBI
Step 1: Download NIUBI Partition Editor and you'll see the main window, disks and partitions are displayed on the right side, which is similar with Disk Management, right click C drive and select "Resize/Move Volume" feature.
Step 2: In the pop-up window, you'll see disk map on the bottom and single C drive on the top.
Drag the right border leftwards and then C drive will be shrank.
Step 3: As you see, C drive is shrank to 30GB, but in fact, this software works in virtual mode to avoid mistake. To shrink real C drive, you need to click Apply on top left to confirm.
NIUBI Partition Editor can move the "unmovable" files when shrinking volume on Windows 7, so it can shrink C drive to minimum size.
2. How to shrink volume D with NIUBI
It is similar with shrinking C drive, but NIUBI Partition Editor can shrink drive D and produce Unallocated space on the left side to expand C drive. For example, I created several new drives and D is 50GB.
Right click D and select "Resize/Move Volume", drag left border rightwards to shrink D in the pop-up window.
20GB Unallocated space is generated on the left side of D (behind C drive).
To extend C drive: right click it and select "Resize/Move Volume" again, drag right border rightwards to combine the Unallocated space.
C drive is extended with the Unallocated space.
If you want to shrink and extend other drives, it is similar with steps above.
In Summary
If you want to shrink partition in Windows 7, the built-in Shrink Volume in Disk Management can help you, but it can only produce Unallocated space on the right side. In addition, you cannot shrink C drive to smaller size if there are unmovable files. To shrink either system partition or data volumes, NIUBI Partition Editor is better choice. Comparing with Disk Management, NIUBI has advantages such as:
- Both NTFS and FAT32 partitions are supported to shrink and extend.
- Unallocated space can be generated on either side when shrinking a drive.
- Both system and data partitions can be extended with Unallocated space on either side.
- Nonadjacent partitions can be shrank to extend other drives.
Besides shrinking and extending volume to optimize disk space, NIUBI Partition Editor can help you do many other disk and partition management operations.

Community Health Center receives grant; Chester seeks donations for memorial repair; zero energy home open to the public May 19; Middlefield joins Solarize Connecticut, workshop is Thursday; Bushnell Farm open to the public May 19
MIDDLETOWN — Community Health Center, Inc.'s domestic violence services, New Horizons, is pleased to announce the receipt of a $5,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Middlesex County for food and personal supplies for shelter residents.
New Horizons residents and families often come to the shelter without basic necessities like clothes and toiletries due to the urgency of their situation. With this grant New Horizons will be better able to support the needs of victims of domestic violence and their children.
The grant is funded by the Community Foundation of Middlesex County/Sari A. Rosenbaum Fund for Women and Girls, Mary Klaaren Fund for Women & Girls, and the Bee & Missionary Society Fund for Women & Girls.
Chester War Memorial repairs needed
CHESTER — On Route 154 entering Chester are Chester's War Memorials. Dedicated in 1939, the World War I memorial features a granite doughboy figure atop a monument listing local veterans. In 2004, American Legion Post #97 unveiled an elegant granite monument honoring Chester residents who served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and post-Vietnam conflicts.
Over the years maintenance and minor repairs have been funded by the Town of Chester, volunteers and American Legion Post #97. But 14 years have taken their toll on the memorial. Post #97 members have identified some issues that need to be addressed, most importantly is the fence on the front perimeter of the memorial. The pressure treated wooden fence is rotting away and needs to be replaced. Plans are to use granite posts and black chain which will be less susceptible to the weather.
Members are asking residents and friends to donate towards the replacement of the fence and ensure the memorial remain a proud focal point. Any contribution, however small, will be welcome. Donors may request to be added to a donor list that will be published in the local paper at the conclusion of our project. The goal is $6,000 for the new fence at the Chester's War Memorial. If more funds are donated then what covers the price of supplies and installation of the fence, members will use those funds to repair the flagpoles. Donations may be made out to American Legion Post #97 and mailed to PO Box 122, Chester, CT 06412. All donations are tax deductible.
Open House for Net Zero Energy House set
HIGGANUM — Jamie Wolf of Avon-based Wolfworks, award-winning designers and builders of a number of net zero new homes and deep energy retrofits, will lead an Open Walls Open House workshop on Saturday, May 19 at a net zero home being built in Higganum, where tours and a talk will take place at both 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. This workshop offers a way to see and learn about what makes this possible and what is needed to make homes like this more common. It will highlight how Wolfworks constructs a super-insulated and air-sealed building envelope; the high-performance "net gain" triple-glazed European windows they use; their small but efficient heating and cooling system; and a constant fresh air system with heat recovery.

Middlefield launches solar program
MIDDLEFIELD — The Town of Middlefield is participating in the award-winning residential solar program that makes going solar easy and affordable. Solarize Connecticut has helped thousands of Connecticut residents save money on energy bills by going solar. Solarize Middlefield also offers residents access to financing options that make going solar affordable with no upfront costs.
Solarize Middlefield is a coordinated effort across the community, supported by the Town of Middlefield and managed by the non-profit organization, SmartPower. Through a competitive selection process, Middlefield has selected Ross Solar as their solar installer. Ross Solar will provide the solar installations in Middlefield at special discount pricing in exchange for outreach and education from the Town.
The Solarize Middlefield program will kick off with a workshop on Thursday from 7 - 8:30 pm, at the Middlefield Community Center Auditorium, 405 Main Street, Middlefield. Residents can learn about the program, meet their solar installer, learn about financing options, and see if their house is good for solar.
Homeowners who want to find out if their home is good for solar can go directly to Solarizect.com/Middlefield. Durham residents are welcome to participate in the Solarize Middlefield program. In Connecticut Solarize is managed by SmartPower (www.smartpower.org).
"Follow the Fibers" to Bushnell Farm
OLD SAYBROOK — The family that occupied the 1678 Bushnell House in Old Saybrook were weavers as well as farmers. Each spring Bushnell Farm hosts activities that that allow visitors to step back to a time when hand-woven cloth was derived from the family's own plants and animals.
On Saturday, visitors to this privately-owned 22 acre farm site can witness Warner Lord demonstrate the difficult, multi-step process that turned the flax plan into a thread that could then be woven into linen on the family loom. The Loom House, with weaver Bev Lewis, is one of the six original buildings on the property that will be open to the public.
Sheep owned by Herb and Sherry Clark of Essex, who own the property, will be shorn of their winter wool by Lara Sullivan of East Haddam, who has a busy shearing schedule and she hopes to be at Bushnell Farm around 11:30 a.m. Westbrook's Gary Noth, a life-long archaeologist and primitive technologist, will be at the wigwam in the Grove at the Farm talking about Indian tool technology and their preparations for spring. In the Bushnell Farm House, one of the five oldest houses in Connecticut, they'll be turning out the bedbugs from the mattresses; ironing without electricity; and taking advantage of the early fish run. In the barn, we'll be sharpening the tools for haying and looking over the seeds saved from last year's crops and getting ready to plant.
Bushnell Farm is an educational site that provides school and public programs devoted to preserving the agricultural and enterprising past in Connecticut through seasonal events and hands-on activities. For information, call 860-767-0674.

Elton John / Friends
To my ears, they are equal to Sir Paul and Richard Starkey MBE, Wrecking Crew, Stax, and Muscle Shoals, as the most charismatic and elite rhythm sections in the realm of pop rock.
Sir Reggie and Bernie's brilliant soundtrack to the flop of a film Friends (1971) featured four fantastic John / Taupin gems interspersed with background music composed with orchestrator Paul Buckmaster.
EJ's iconic rhythm section of bassist Dee Murray and drummer Nigel Olsson was further enhanced by way of John's frequent collaborator / guitarist Caleb Quaye, along with virtuoso vocalists Madeline Bell, Lesley Duncan, and Kay Garner.
"Friends," "Honey Roll," "Michelle's Song," and "Can I Put You On" would have made a terrific Elton John Band EP as the lads all flex their rhythm and blues chops. Dee and Nigel are masterful as usual, working pocket grooves with their signature rhythmic dialog.

Year 10 are continuing to explore different foods from around the world. This is part of our topic looking at how food plays an important role in helping to form cultures. We have been looking at the ways in which different countries use food to help create a social setting, as well as the obvious taste differences from region to region.
A recent Food Technology session involved the students designing, preparing and then cooking a chicken tikka masala meal. We wanted to add a slight twist to this theme and so came up with the idea of the Lansdowne School veggie sausage tikka masala!
The pupils were asked to follow a set of instructions to make sure that we prepared our meal in the correct sequence. These included cooking the rice and sausages, preparing the onions and garlic and then making a masala sauce to bind our meal together.
We set different target levels for each pupil during these sessions depending on their ability. Adult help is always at hand, but we encourage our class members to work independently and try and overcome any challenges on their own.
After the Lansdowne veggie sausage tikka masala had been eaten, we invited the pupils to assess their work. Each class member was asked to rate the enjoyment of the meal, and to provide a description of the food in relation to the other cultural meals that we have created. We also looked for improvement – how would each Year 10 pupils change the meal to make it satisfy their own taste preferences? You can watch a video of the Lansdowne veggie tikka masala being cooked above.

President Trump will embark on a whirlwind series of meetings this week at the United Nations General Assembly to make two big asks of the world: Stand with us against North Korea, and hold the line against Iran's nuclear program.
Over the course of four days beginning Monday, Trump will engage in a speed round of diplomacy that may test his patience for the notoriously factionalized, lethargic institution as well as his preference for one-on-one dealmaking in which the U.S. always holds the strongest hand.
"Next week is not going to be short on topics," the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, told reporters at the White House on Friday.
Haley acknowledged that foreign leaders are curious about how the unpredictable U.S. president will maneuver.
"They are all very anxious to hear what he has to say," Haley said. "And I think that he will make quite an impact."
Trump's appearance at the U.N. – highlighted by an address Tuesday before the world body – is his biggest moment on the world stage since taking office. There is far more at stake than at the two economic summits in Europe he attended earlier this year.
As he welcomes leaders from nearly 200 nations to his hometown of New York, he'll press them to join U.S. efforts to constrain missile and nuclear programs in both North Korea and Iran.
Tensions have risen sharply with both nations since Trump took office and assumed a more confrontational posture than his predecessor, Barack Obama.
"The world is still trying to take the measure of this president," said Jon Alterman, senior vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
"For a number of leaders, this is going to be their first chance to see him, to judge him, to try to get on his good side."

Risk Factors for PTSD in People With Cancer
Related MultimediaClick on an icon to view.
As many as one-third of people who experience an extremely upsetting event, including cancer, develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The event alone, however, does not explain why some people get PTSD and others do not. Although there is no clear answer as to which cancer survivors are at increased risk of developing PTSD, certain mental, physical, or social factors may make some people more likely to experience it.
Individual and Social Factors
Individual and social factors that have been associated with a higher incidence of PTSD include:
- Younger age
- Fewer years of formal education
- Lower income.
Disease-Related Factors
Certain disease-related factors are also associated with PTSD, such as:
- In patients who received a bone marrow transplant, PTSD occurs more often when there is advanced disease and a longer hospital stay
- In adult survivors of bone cancer and Hodgkin's lymphoma, people for whom more time has passed since diagnosis and treatment tended to show fewer symptoms of PTSD
- In survivors of childhood cancer, symptoms of PTSD occur more often when there was a longer treatment time
- Interfering thoughts occur more often in patients who experienced pain and other physical symptoms
- Cancer that has returned has been shown to increase stress symptoms in patients.
Mental Factors
Mental factors may also affect the development of PTSD in some patients. Examples of mental factors include:
- Previous trauma
- Previous psychological problems
- High levels of general stress
- Genetic factors and biological factors (such as a hormone disorder) that affect memory and learning
- The amount of social support available
- Threat to life and body
- Having PTSD before being diagnosed with cancer
- The use of avoidance to cope with stress.
Protective Factors
Certain factors may decrease a person's chances of developing PTSD. These include:
- Increased social support
- Accurate information about the stage of the cancer
- A satisfactory relationship with the medical staff.

Sherman Oaks 2018
Lights On Display 2018
This year's video is truly special to me. The show begins with a tribute and celebration of my parents, sung by my new animatronic "Snowy," the child snowman. My mom passed away early this year, and Snowy was something she wanted me to add after Crystal. She got to see the design, but never the finished product. Both my parents put the magic into Christmas for me, and the display is a result of the love and joy they gave to me!
After the open, the show kicks into high gear with some fun new songs, and a timely replay of a song from a few years back. The Pix-Z-Tree received a makeover, with new clear pixel strips, which allow more of the tree to show through. It's a great improvement. This year's show is one of the longest at 13 minutes, and took about a month and a half to program, with a ten day setup. I'm really happy with the way it turned out! I hope you enjoy it!

Solo travellers in London rejoice! There are plenty of delicious options for you to pull up a bar stool and watch the world go by. I've worked closely with Emma Brady to fine tune this perfect list of cozy people-watching spots.
The Good Life Eatery
A table for one at The Good Life Eatery is a pleasurable, relaxed experience and their down-to-earth philosophy enthuses a positive and imaginative outlook on healthy food. Dishes are wholesome and nutritious, but there is no compromise on flavour – the menu refreshes frequently, using the best quality and locally sourced ingredients. With no WiFi available, you'll also benefit from a little escapism from digital distraction and your visit will be all the more nourishing for it.

In the heart of Soho's slutty end, Spuntino was pretty much designed with solo diners in mind. All of the seats (with the exception of one separate booth), are bar stools, set around a long table that snakes around the bar. Aesthetically, you could be sitting in Williamsburg - exposed walls and American style bar stools (check out the original tiles on the walls, this used to be a Victorian butchers). Food wise, it's All-American comfort. The eggplant fries and truffle egg toast are my personal favourites.
Read customer reviews of Spuntino here
This was a word-of-mouth stalwart in the heart of Soho for many years and its successful formula of simple, fresh and colourful vegetarian and vegan food garnered enough worthy praise and footfall to warrant expansion across three other branches in Camden, Kings Cross and Dalston. Mildreds has a lovely, easy-going energy that caters for all preferences, even for those who usually love meat and eating here epitomises the pleasure of dining solo.

Bo Drake
This cosy spot on Soho's Greek Street is perfect for solo diners, with high stools set up around the long table that runs through the front room of this friendly restaurant, that offers a fusion of Korean dishes with an American soul food twist. The KFC (Korean friend chicken wings) are an absolute must.
Ottolenghi Islington
One of the busiest spots on Islington's Upper Street, Ottolenghi has a long central table at the back of this beautifully stark restaurant, with an unhurried vibe. It's veggie heaven with an ever-evolving menu, created by celebrated Isreali chef Yotam Ottolenghi. You can only reserve a table on weeknights, or it's first come, first served at the weekend (expect long brunch queues on a Sunday).
P.S. don't hold back on those cakes ;)

With its modern and airy interior, communal seating and swift counter service, Princi is the place for the solo diner who wants a scrumptious, fuss-free meal. Make your choice from a selection of Milanese-inspired pizza slices, salads and mains at the counter, pick your seat and settle in for an inconspicuous meal for one. It's nestled in thriving Soho, so you won't be short of people and watching-the-world-go-by opportunities to accompany those fine Italian flavours.

Pull up a stool at this tiny corner spot in Hackney and take your time over small plates of Jewish comfort food. This is a local favourite and the owners are so friendly that you'll instantly feel like a regular.

Le Pain Quotidien
With several branches of this popular French communal table and bakery dotted around London, Le Pain Quotidien is a haven for solo diners who can find solace amidst a bustling but relaxed atmosphere of chatter and comings and goings. Orders are centred around their expertly crafted breads and they serve excellent brunch and lunch plates. I'm particularly fond of their spelt and quinoa scone served with ricotta and the comforting almond milk matcha latte. The latter is served in a signature round bowl, ideal for cradling in your hands over something to read.

Deicide is a two-player-only game based on the common philosophical and
mythical notions of most modern religions with nearly all denominational
content removed. It is suitable to play over the internet and has
been proven to be relatively stable. It was not necessarily made
to be "user-friendly" however, so it may take a little work to get a
game started and get acquainted with the controls. Please read the
information after the screenshots below (which is also contained in the
game manual).

Drawings and Prints
Images are details, click to enlarge
Stripped of color and the technical aspects requisite in oil paint, a simple drawing can satisfy in ways that full blown portraits in oil cannot. Pencil drawings allow for amazingly subtle modeling of the form, often with parallel lines or "hatching". Charcoal as a medium has the unique distinction of having characteristics of both line and mass. Consequently, a fine charcoal drawing can exhibit either or both qualities in the same work. For more portrait drawings click here
Original oil paintings were usually a "one off" proposition. Once sold, those works were most often hidden away in private collections for years. With the development of newer, better and faster printing options, one can now own a print of a painting with surprising fidelity to the original.
Limited Edition Prints are available for the four paintings shown above.

Dear Marten: Cold Weather Plein Air with Cobra
Dear Marten,
Can you please advise a way or mixture I might use to keep my Cobra Solvent-Free Oil Colors from freezing when painting in plein air at cold temperatures (between 0'F to -15 or colder)?
Thank you for your consideration and assistance,
Dear Jim,
Thank you for your question and for your interest in Cobra Oils.
The precautions to prevent Cobra oils from freezing would be the same as with any traditional oil paint. The paint is a true oil paint, containing pigment and linseed oil, with the addition of a vegetable oil emulsifier, to allow for water mixing. The paint itself contains no water.
The freezing point for oils is around -4 degrees F. Painting in these conditions will be more challenging. I like to compare it to what happens to butter in room temp vs being refrigerated. Butter is easily spread from the table, but you need a knife to cut it when refrigerated. The same if true with oils. You can still spread the paint on in extreme cold temperatures, but it's more like painting with a solid stick of butter.
Unlike traditional oils where a mineral spirit solvent can be introduced to slow/prevent the effects of the cold weather on the paint, water doesn't help, and in fact, will have the opposite effect. In cold weather, I recommend using a medium and leaving the water at home.
Cobra has several great mediums to choose from. For more traditional techniques, I would recommend the Cobra Painting Medium 091. Since it makes the paints fatter it will give you more resistance to the cold. You can use it to clean brushes as well. Premixing the paint with more medium in advance of heading outside can be an option.
Another tip is to set up your palette in the studio (or in your vehicle) in advance so you can start painting more quickly, reducing your exposure. I've included a clip form one of our Cobra Ambassadors Lori McNee on how she approaches painting in the cold.
I hope this information helps, and keep warm :)
Met vriendelijke groet, With kind regards,
Marten Talens
