Untitled, 2008
from the series Reconstructions 3
This image was made in the ravine that surrounds the house I grew up in, a house that my mother still lives in. At the time of creating the image I was on a visit to Toronto from Montreal where I was in the process of completing my MFA. A lot of my work up to this point had been circling around ideas of childhood and narrative, but having the opportunity to work in and around my childhood home really influenced and pushed this work towards issues of nostalgia and familial relations. Here I was traipsing through the same ravine that had been my childhood stomping ground, trying to make images that spoke to larger issues, and all I kept thinking about was that these were the same trees, the same dips and stumps, the same winding paths that I had spent so much of my own childhood amongst. In the end, the process of making this image became a very strange and wonderful experience where time and space collapsed and expanded over and over again for me, as I attempted to turn a place with such meaningful memories into a canvas on which to make work.

I wish there were a way to transport all of you to our house. There is just no way to give you a picture of Katy's energy, you would just have to see for yourselves. She is surprising us daily as the Remicade continues to do a great work in her body. Yesterday I was fixing my breakfast and I heard her hippity-hopping downstairs at 8:30 a.m. all bright eyed. She joined me in the kitchen and we both started laughing with joy and jumping up and down with our arms in the air. Not being out of bed before noon or not getting down the stairs by herself were two things that we had become accustomed to. Yesterday we went through our day cleaning, shopping, talking, and decorating, all without several naps. She has been able to do things around the house and think clearly. She has been getting her computer files cleaned up in preparation for finishing college and made a plan to finish her constitutional law class within a month. We don't even stop what we are doing to pray these days. We can be in the middle of something Katy hasn't been able to do for nine months and suddenly one of us is saying, "Lord, look at Katy going all the way up the stairs without help! Thank you Lord!" We get excited about every little thing that is evidence of returning strength. Her pain medication does not have the side effects that the others have had. Instead of waking up lethargic, she wakes up perky. The past few days have been such a tremendous boost for our feeble faith. We thank God all the time for these good days. We are appreciating them to the fullest. Thank you, Lord, that this posting is filled with evidence of your healing power. Strengthen our friends in their challenges today as you have strengthened us. In Jesus' name, AMEN!Comments:

Can't Send Mail in Snow Leopard? Try this
Upgraded my Macbook from Leopard to Snow Leopard on Saturday, and all seemed to be well until I couldn't send emails from Mail.app this evening. A google search revealed that others seemed to be having the same problem, but one of the fixes outlined on the Apple forums seems to have done the trick.

On January 22, 2019, Ambassador Liu Xiaoming held talks with Allister Heath, Editior of The Sunday Telegraph, Ian MacGregor, Editor Emeritus of Telegraph Media Group, Jane Bruton and Lucy Denyer, Deputy Editor of Lifestyle and Deputy Comment Editor of The Daily Telegraph at the Chinese Embassy and gave an interview.
Ambassador Liu noted that The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph of Telegraph Media Group are mainstream newspapers with global influence. In recent years, the two newspapers have increased their coverage on China-related stories, playing a positive role in enhancing the mutual understanding between China and western countries. The year 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Ambassador hoped that the two newspapers would continue to report on China in a comprehensive and objective way, so as to show a real picture of a developing China to the UK and the world.
Heath said that The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph attach great importance to China-related reports and stay committed to covering China's development comprehensively to contribute to the understanding and cooperation between China and the UK.
The Ambassador also gave an interview on China's economy, China's investment in the UK, Huawei, China-UK cooperation on nuclear energy and technology, China-US trade negotiation and North Korea nuclear issue.

Native Ad Publishers Fail in Transparency
Despite the hype, native advertisements seem to fail when it comes to providing adequate consumer transparency and disclosure.
An analysis by the Online Trust Alliance of native advertisements on the top 100 news websites found that 71 percent earned failing scores for disclosures, delineation and discover-ability (essentially, consumers were't able to discern editorial from ads).
SUBSCRIBE to Website Magazine & Accelerate 'Net Success
Of the 100 sites OTA audited, 69 percent had one or more native ad on their respective homepage. Of the native ads observed, 9 percent earned what OTA deemed top trust scores, meeting or exceeding clear transparency requirements, 20 percent of the native ads were classified as in need of improvement, and 71 percent received failing grades.
"While native ads without proper disclosures may yield short term monetary goals, they risk marginalizing the long-term value of advertising and the reputation of sites where they are served," said the Online Trust Alliance's Executive Director Craig Spiezle. "Consumers who experience annoyance, confusion and misinterpretation in native advertising, combined with increasing security and privacy issues will likely turn to using ad blockers. The result is nobody wins since sites and ad networks will lose revenue and consumers will miss out on content that is relevant to them."
These failures in transparency could definitely become a real problem for both advertisers and publishers from the standpoint of the Federal Trade Commission. Fortunately, the OTA has provided a checklist to help websites serve native ads that won't confuse consumers.
The following the OTA's recommendations in their own words and based on interviews with key stakeholders, publishers and industry trade groups (as well as with the FTC itself):
1. Use OTA recommended disclosure terminology, refraining from creating unique and proprietary terms (see Appendix A in the report).
2. If the disclosure term is pre-populated by third parties, require they comply with recommended terminology and site branding requirements.
3. Make disclosures clear and conspicuous, maximizing discoverability and readability.
4. Be consistent. Use the same disclosures in the same positions on the same site over time.
5. Address readability across screens. Use/adapt disclosures for different devices, including mobile.
6. Keep disclosure size readable for all ages. It is recommended that the disclosure text be no more than 2 points smaller than surrounding copy.
7. Use recognized design standards, type styles, colors and adequate contrast for visibility. Use of all bold type and compressed letter spacing decreases readability.
8. Identify consumer-facing sponsoring brands, not just the content service in the disclosure.
9. Use color brand logos as applicable.
10. Review the use of supplemental co-branding of content providers and the impact on the user experience. Data suggests the inclusion of added co-branding may distract from providing consumers clear and intuitive disclosures.
11. Delineate native units from page content through the use of rules (a horizontal line or border) and/or shading.
12. Review compliance with accessibility requirements, including but not limited to adding alternative text descriptors for all images served.

If Fran Lebowitz had her way when it comes to her opinion of men's shorts, she'd be right in line with government officials from the first half of the 20th century. Believe it or not, shorts were once a controversial garment spawning bans in towns and colleges from Pennsylvania to California. The arrival of shorts in America ignited the debate about good taste and behavior among both genders. But where did shorts come from?
Here's a quick rundown. In the 1890s, parents started purchasing short knee pants for their young boys. In the 1900s, men began to wear an altered version of these called knickerbockers and paired them with long stockings. These are what most people refer to as simply knickers these days. In the 1930s, both servicemen and women alike started wearing shorts. From here, the cultural backlash and fight for the fashion right began.
A cultural debate has seemed to simmer for the last few years on whether men should wear shorts or not. As evidenced by their start in popular culture, shorts were associated with boys, and many believed that adult men had no business wearing them past a certain age. From 1929 to 1937, the Men's Dress Reform Party sought out to add some excitement and beauty back into menswear. Among the many updates to the acceptable public men's dress code, they championed shorts. Though the US didn't have an equivalent group, restless college students across the nation took up the battle.
Shorts have now evolved into so many different styles: bermuda shorts, cargo shorts, boxer shorts, board shorts, gym shorts, etc. The list goes on! And as the inseams get shorter and fits get more refined, shorts are a staple of both mass market and designer spring/summer collections. Though their existence is still divisive, shorts are undoubtedly an important part of our culture and national dress code.

The double-edged circle sets up a regular beat and still the image holds.
The paint is put on evenly to avoid any sense of movement or volume. This gives a particular sensation, a fixed experience of non-reference. But such a break in the chain of imagery provides a back door to pleasure, and marks a subtle shift in Robertson's work. Earlier paintings would have had an unconscious, sublime set of associations about them with even the most simple geometric shape carrying its own parallel hint; for example, to a commonplace object or to an architectural plan or detail of some kind.
Now the relation between the edge of the circle for instance and the edge of the canvas is crucial in a different way. The paintings are not process driven equivalents of a fabric sample, they replace the arbitary 'all over' sense with a symbolism existing within. The imagery functions almost graphically showing how closely Robertson works with printing and drawing in transplanting and translating her repertoire. She works adamantly, 'underlining' the edge of the circle, forcing it to function in a direct and visual manner. Nor is this about any notion of pure shape or the paring down of components; the work is still more about the experience of looking rather than any dry representation of thought.
The basic elements placed within the margins provide both the place and the atmosphere in which they can appear. The 'place' is architectural as well as open. It is important to repeat here that nothing moves and yet a strange leap outwards towards heaven from a circle within its edge shows how one element can so quickly, easily and miraculously conjure another. The leap is without instruction or direction, however. While these paintings deal so emphatically with the here and now they remain separate from rigid distinctions between abstraction and figuration, from the duality of earlier arguments and positions.
The paintings have markers in this world and appear, in their retinal intensity, to harvest the kind of energy and tension that comes either with the build-up before a storm or the subsequent blanket of violet light once the storm has broken.
Although occasionally envisaged in pairs, the relationships set up within each painting provides a highly unfashionable level of independence. Perhaps the strength of the simple single image is that it is able to glow, in the mind's eye, long after it has been seen. The particular direct relation to drawing guarantees that Red Night, Isis, and Dalliance In The Garden are consciously and effectively perceived and understood all at once. The drawing is nonetheless vulnerable, it reminds that even the most basic shape is the same and yet different each time.
Each painting functions as a lightening conductor that flashes on the eye to establish an initial spark of mental place or space. In charting the relationship between the maker's intention and the observer's eye, leaving out perhaps artificially, the maker's continual presence, it is possible if a little simplistic, to draw a triangle with a sawn-off third point. That flat point is the picture plane itself. The artist here feeds in so much that an accumulation of intention over time, extends out at a diffuse angle to the viewer, just as head lights expand and extend their glow into the night.
Although it is always difficult and sometimes facetious to write about colour it is nonetheless possible to grasp at associations thrown out by it. As the eye passes through the pink centre in Neon Door, the atmosphere is really quite luxurious and shows that despite spare and simple reference, the subsequent pay-off carries the richness of an 18th century interior. Robertson states that despite a great attraction to minimal art she cannot consider herself a minimal artist. Neon Door carries all the architectural and cultural reference of centuries, an atmosphere that is a million miles away from spare singularity. It is instead as if the painting represents a still of a moving picture; a sequence of slides illustrating movement held forever.
Reverberating aesthetic intentions allow an even glow and the artist is light with her titles, in recognition, it seems, of that moment of looking. Grey Light suggests the movements in between the edge and beyond. The reds of Red Night and Iota carry the weight and depth of paint placed over and across, and the colour takes many layers of change to establish itself, echoing from within the surface and producing the strange effect of the moon on a very cold night. Obviously any combination of mental and visual play resides, as well, in the ready-made collective consciousness of past painting and place.
Layers build up to make a convincing and intelligent base with the opaque authority of genuine Japanese lacquer. To carry a simplistic Oriental theme further it is good to think of the painting as the artist's working skin. Robertson works with drawing and with paint inside the contained edge until certain points become pressure points. This touching intensity, very sharp and almost painful at moments, takes the experience way past entertainment to a heightened pitch. Some points are more tender and sensitive than others. The very place at which one colour meets another is never passive but worked to a pitch by the artist to release or increase tension
The relationship between words and painting will always be problematic. Titles vary in function: these titles recognise a variety of functions, some descriptive and some not. The eye recognises the edge, the 'all over'; the moment is distilled and yet extended. The paintings insist on providing a strange sense of promise; there is an inevitable equality in looking, a basic democracy in the search for emotional space.

Heart Conditions and Heart Health
Stress, an unhealthy weight, smoking, poor nutrition, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, lack of physical activity, and congenital defects can all cause heart conditions or poor heart health. Many patients are told to simply lose weight and exercise, but aren't provided additional details by their doctors as to which ways are the best to do that.
If there is a family history of heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, or other cardiovascular conditions, there is no reason to follow down the family path. With a naturopathic approach to heart health, there are plenty of ways to approach heart conditions from a holistic viewpoint. The therapies we use are safe, gentle, and take your lifestyle into consideration.
In addition, there are many simple, highly sensitive tests which can now uncover hidden cardiac disease risks that other standard tests may miss. These tests include genetic markers, inflammatory markers, cardiac and metabolic imbalances. This insight is a valuable tool that facilitates early diagnosis and allows for natural therapies to be used to allow for heart health.
Even if you are currently on medication, there are many specific nutritional supplements or herbal medicines that can be beneficial for heart health. Oftentimes, the side effects of the medications you are taking for your blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other conditions make it difficult to live the active life you desire. While understanding prevention is the key, RejuveNature Medical treats your heart condition – and you – with the utmost respect, dignity, and professionalism you deserve.
Oftentimes patients will combine holistic and traditional care. If this is your desired approach, we will work in tandem with your doctors to provide a complete plan for your heart health.
Common heart diseases and related conditions include:
- Hypertension
- Arrhythmia
- Cardiomyopathy
- Atherosclerosis (plaque)
- Childhood cardiovascular conditions
- Heart attack
- Heart failure
- Heart valve problems and disease
- Metabolic syndrome
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
- Stroke
- Angina (chest pain)
Preventing these heart conditions is a major focus of both traditional medicine and naturopathic medicine. If you are concerned about your overall heart health or wish to reduce the risk factors for developing heart conditions, contact us for an initial appointment.

ChangeTip's mission was to enable person-to-person micropayments for any cause or creative endeavor. They knew that to make the product successful, the experience would have to be fun, simple, and engaging for the user.
The client had a basic framework and wireframe laid out for its mobile app, but needed refinement to get it to the next level. With multiple teams in different locations, communication and coordination was key to make sure design and development worked cohesively.
Setting up clear communication, feature prioritization, and sprint timelines was required to make sure distributed teams could deliver on time with quality results. We could then focus on improving the UX/UI and developing a modern and clean design language.
ChangeTip needed help refining and simplifying use cases. Starting with their existing product, we went back to the whiteboard to help us visualize a better way to guide the user through the app.
We believed that it was important to limit the number of steps to send a micropayment. Using a simple card flip metaphor, we focused on keeping the options visually contained. As a result, transactions are easy to complete.
We modernized ChangeTip's brand and color palette. Each tab was designed to have a distinctly different experience, making navigation through the app easier.

If you recall, Milton has worked in construction over 20 years, up until a few years ago he did it full time and farmed part time. Well those switched, which made him very happy, especially after burning the midnight oil of building our home!
Our house sits in the corner of a field, not to far from my in laws home that they have lived in for over 50 years. ( On a sidenote, my father in law was born in that house, he's 84, and so were his siblings!) Cool huh? I hope our home is still in the family when we are long gone. It's just another part of our legacy.
It took alittle over 1.5 years to build our home. To some that may seem a long time, but when you are literally building it yourself (he did have some help from his brothers on occasion, and we are THANKFUL), that's a SHORT time. But when we moved in, the only thing left to finish, was the back deck, and it was finished soon after. My husband begins a project, he will finish it! Nothing is usually left undone! I like that about him!
When we started building the house, PV looked like this.
|The bottom photo is one of my all-time favorites of her!
I didn't know much about building things, hence, my constant question "when will it be done?" If I could go back, I would ask that a lot less! :)
I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and honestly, I enjoy working with my husband on many different types of things. Since PV was only about 6 months old when we began and we lived about 25 minutes from where we were building, I didn't get to be as hands on as I would have liked. But we did spend most of our weekends there!
I really enjoyed watching PV help us around the place and seeing the true patience of her father! He never really got impatient with our baby girl. And there was more than once, he would be explaining things to her that were way over her head. I just giggled at those moments! That's another thing I love about him, his patience.
One of my favorite places in this house is my kitchen, as you could have probably guessed. Milton did a wonderful job with designing and creating it for us. Oh sure, there were "discussions" about where certain things should be and what type of countertop to have, but it all worked out and I love it. Especially the craftsmanship of my husband's kitchen cabinets.
I do wish someone would find decorative "stuff" to put on the tops of my kitchen cabinets. I think the open space up there is not "warm and inviting". Feel free to share ideas! We have been here over 2 years and I still don't have but a couple items up there!
|Milton designed and made the kitchen cabinets.
Milton loved it when my sister suggested this for our bathroom! :) It slides out and holds my blow dryer, straightener, hairspray,and has an electrical plug in in the back! Cords hidden and so are the items one uses daily! :) Honestly, he gave my sister a funny look when she first suggested it, I obviously fell in love with the idea! :)
The second photo is the accent wall in our living / dining room area. Yea, he wasn't really happy about painting that. Have any of you ever painted a dark color? If you have, you know why he wasn't thrilled. But I love it!
My favorite photo.
Honest this was not a posed shot. I just happen to have my camera in my hand at the right moment.
We love our home. It's simple, it's open, it's a reflection of us.
Thanks for stopping by!

Now there is a new dive computer on the market: the Garmin Descent MK1. This innovative computer is a smart watch, dive computer and sports watch all-in-one. As I work at Lucas Divestore I have immediately treated myself to one. I would like to tell you more about the unique functions of the Garmin Descent MK1, which also has a really cool look. Will you join me?
The Garmin Descent MK1 is a smart watch, a dive computer and a sports watch all-in-one. It is great to use for recreational diving, free diving and technical diving. It has many functions including an incorporated compass, a barometer, an altitude meter and a heart rate monitor.
Before you go diving you can set the GPS coordinates. After the dive you can see exactly where you have been. It is easy to set up as the operation is in Dutch. The Garmin Descent MK1 beeps and vibrates to send signals. This is unique because it is one of the only ones with an incorporated vibration function. Ideal for people whose hearing is impaired. When diving you can operate the Garmin Descent MK1 by tapping on the outer ring (bezel ring). When in diving mode the battery has a lifespan of 40 diving hours. You can charge the watch via a cradle.
Would you also like to use the watch for other activities? No problem, with the 'multi-sports' options you can select different sports. It has many options such as golfing, forest walks, walking, walking on a treadmill, hiking, mountain biking, swimming, skiing, snowboarding, surfing, rowing, cardio and weight training.
Probably the coolest feature of the Garmin Descent MK1: it has all the functions of a Smart Watch. It is connected to your mobile phone and monitors what you do for the rest of the day, such as your physical activities. You can even set the activities that you want to monitor. It also has functions like e-mail, navigation and WhatsApp. You can completely customise the watch. For example, you can select the design of the dial and you can upload pictures from your mobile phone.
I find the replaceable straps very handy. All straps are available separately in various colours, so you can simply switch between a metal or a silicone strap. The watch comes standard with a silicone strap and an extra long strap, so it fits easily over your diving suit.
The Garmin computer has two variants, the standard Descent MK1 and the Descent MK1 Titanium. The standard Descent MK1 has silicone straps and a metal-coloured bezel ring. The Descent MK1 Titanium has a black outer ring with a blue accent and is designed with a titanium strap. This straps is also available separately.
Would you like to know more about the Garmin Descent MK1? Why not visit our showroom. I gladly tell you more about it. Want to read more about the differences between dive computers? The blog by my colleague Marco will tell you all about it.
The Netherlands is a beautiful country for diving, nevertheless many people look for the more beautiful waters outside the Netherlands. Our underwater world has a lot to offer: from beautiful colourful coral reefs to polar bears in the ice-cold waters at the North Pole. When you go on a diving trip you must properly prepare yourself. What is your destination and how much weight can you take with you? Tessa from Eigen Wijze Duikreizen gives you tips on how you can prepare yourself for a diving trip!Read more

Do you still have questions after reading this blog? Then contact me. I would like to help you!Read more
If you are used to diving with a wet suit, diving in a dry suit can be quite a change at first. A dry suit can be recommended in cold water (water below 13℃). Would you like to dive in wrecks and caves? Then you really need a dry suit. Today, I will tell you everything about the accessories that are important if you want to go dry diving. Do you want to know more about dry suits first? Then read this blog.Read more
In cold water (water below 13℃) we always advise divers to go diving with a dry suit. A dry suit is completely waterproof and provides insulation via the air space in the dry suit. This air space, combined with the under suit ensures that you stay warm and can dive comfortably. It is important that you adjust your under suit to the temperature during and the depth of your dive. In this blog you can read everything about dry suits.Read more

Interfaith Peace Initiative
Interfaith Peace Initiative:
History, Accomplishments and Goals
The Interfaith Peace Initiative (IPI) was established in Providence, RI in August, 2002, by citizens concerned about the escalating violence in the Middle East. Its goal was to bring together people of different faiths and backgrounds in learning about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Initial members included Jewish rabbis, Christian ministers, a Hindu Swami, and a Palestinian Muslim refugee, in addition to a number of laypeople who shared concern for all the region's people.
Discussions have been candid and have provided an opportunity for exchange of ideas and perceptions in a safe, supportive environment. The group heard presentations from a rabbi in defense of Zionism, and a Jewish speaker who said Zionism was incompatible with Judaism. We were addressed by a Palestinian Christian who lives in Jerusalem, and by Palestinians who had been evicted from their homes in 1948 and 1967 and could not return. One of our Jewish participants left during the year to exercise her "aliya" or "right of return" and move to Israel. Many of our other members have visited the region to see the situation first-hand.
As members returned from spending time with families affected by the conflict, the group's focus expanded from dialog to include education of Americans about what is happening in the region, and humanitarian efforts to provide hope to people living in desperate circumstances under occupation. Many educational events were sponsored. The group also focused on America's role in the conflict.
While there were differing views within the group about solutions to the conflict, a unanimous decision was taken in 2003 to join the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation. The US Campaign supports a resolution based on international law and human rights for all the region's people, and these are two precepts the Interfaith Peace Initiative felt it could easily embrace.
Friendships formed in our diverse group have resulted in opportunities to visit each other's places of worship. Jewish and Christian members of the group travelled to Washington to attend a conference of Tikkun and to visit members of Congress. We were invited to take part in the 75th Anniversary of the Vedanta Society in Providence and the Eid Ceremony ending Ramadan.
The Interfaith Peace Initiative is unique in that it affirms the humanity of all the parties involved in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and the equality of all the faith communities represented in the region and in our membership. It provides respectful opportunities for dialog and exchange of ideas. It offers a well informed core group representing different religions and committed to human rights and international law.
During its first four years, IPI members sponsored or helped to sponsor fifteen educational events for the larger community:
These educational efforts extended to members of Congress and newspaper editors. IPI members called on these opinion leaders as individuals and in groups.
A series of ten educational fold-out display boards were prepared on topics ranging from the impact of the separation wall and the destruction of homes to the activities of Palestinian Boy Scouts. Binders with information and color photographs about the wall were presented to the Rhode Island Congressional delegation and other decision-makers. Videos of life in the region were prepared by members who have spent time in the West Bank, and more are under way. These members have made dozens of presentations to religious and community groups. A bibliography of reading materials was prepared, and the group would like to get this to book stores and public libraries, encouraging them to present more comprehensive information for readers on this topic.
Educational goals can be summarized as follows:
Among the humanitarian projects engaged in by individual members of the group are:
We would like to extend and expand these humanitarian initiatives in the coming year.

William Furno contains canon Hero Factory information.
This article contains canon information but has fanon information added to it. The canon version of this page can be viewed here.
|William Furno
Dual Fire Shooter, Multi-Tool Ice Shield
- "Ah, but Furno is not just another Rookie. He could be another Alpha Leader.""
- ―Akiyama Makuro, Trials of Furno
William Furno is a Hero working for the Hero Factory.
Similar to all other Heroes, William Furno came into being in the Assembly Tower in Makuhero City, shortly after the creation of Mark Surge and Natalie Breez. Following his activation he was integrated into the Alpha Team, where he would receive training from the Elite members of the group. While Breez and Surge would come to prove themselves as worthwhile additions to the team, Preston Stormer took a particular interest in Furno, deeming him the most reckless and impulsive of the three rookies under his watch.
Trials of FurnoActing as part of an armed escort for a shipment of C-4000 on Merak 9 several months later, Furno and the Alpha Team veterans were ambushed by XPlode and Rotor, two notorious galactic bandits. Ordered to remain in the Hero Craft for the duration of the battle, Furno watched as Jimi Stringer and Dunkan Bulk contained Rotor. Offering Furno the opportunity to apply the Hero Cuffs, Stormer then ordered the rookie to descend from the Hero Craft and apply the Hero Cuffs. However, carrying a concealed projectile weapon, Rotor was able to make an escape before the young hero could apprehend him.
Honing his combat abilities tirelessly in the hours after his failed mission trial, Furno pulled several consecutive shifts in the Assembly Tower Holo-Training Sphere, exhausting his power cells and failing to report for roll call the following day. Recovered by his teammates, Stormer notably escorted the young Hero to the Core Recharge Chamber.
Accompanying the Alpha Leader on a training exercise alongside Surge and Breez, Furno's unit was dispatched to the neighboring system of Lemus 2 several hours later, responding to another raid on an explosive munitions factory by Rotor and XPlode. Drawing the fire away from the rookies, Stormer took a direct hit and was incapacitated, leaving Furno to lead a successful recovery operation and ultimately recapture Rotor, earning him the praise of Stormer.
The following day, Alpha Team was assaulted by Corroder whilst overseeing the construction of Penitentiary 1331. With the criminal pinning Bulk down beneath a pile of girders and with Surge tending to his teammate, Stringer was forced to draw Corroder's fire for some time until Mission Control could dispatch reinforcements. With Alpha Team's resources drawn thin, and with Stormer grounded in the Command Center, Furno was refitted with acid-resistant armor and dispatched in a Hero Pod to combat Corroder. After a brief battle, the rookie was reinforced by Breez's Dropship. Notably bluffing that his teammate had arrived with a full Hero Team aboard, Furno managed to successfully repel Corroder and rescue Bulk from beneath the girders.
An unclear number of solar cycles later, Stormer accompanied Furno, Breez, and Surge on a training exercise under his instruction. Allowing Furno to pilot his Dropship, Stormer expressed his displeasure over a recent advertising campaign that had used his likeness to endorse an energy drink. Receiving a distress beacon originating from the Mekronite Planetary Belt, Stormer resumed control and landed the Dropship outside the Mekron City police station, noting that the planetoid had gone into lockdown mode following a red alert. Flanking Stormer as he scouted ahead, Furno and his teammates were eventually summoned to the Alpha Leader's position, encountering Chief Drax of the Mekron City police department. With the chief growing uncharacteristically confrontational and increasingly unwilling to cooperate, the Heroes detained him only for Meltdown and a legion of attack drones to ambush the precinct. Firing a burst of degraded nuclear waste at Furno only for Stormer to jump in the line of fire, Meltdown breached the Hero's armor plating and infected the Alpha Leader with a potent swarm of microscopic nanobots. Returning to the Assembly Tower for a diagnostic report, the nanobots swiftly began to affect the chemistry of Stormer's central processor, heightening his aggression. Resorting to a more primal nature, Stormer engaged Bulk, Stringer, and Furno, escaping out into Makuhero City.
With Bulk and Stringer leading Alpha Team on a mission to retrieve the chemical antidote from Lunar Tratix, Furno trailed Stormer through Makuhero City, acting off his earlier hunch that the Alpha Leader might tear down the oversized billboard with his likeness. Engaging Stormer whilst wearing a jet booster, Furno tussled with his mentor onto to be swiftly overpowered. Pleading desperately, the rookie evoked powerful memories of Von Ness, which in turn gave Stormer the will to fight off the nanobots and be carried back to the Assembly Tower by Furno. With the rest of Alpha Team successfully retrieving the chemical antidote, Hero Factory scientists were able to synthesize a cure that purged the nanobots for Stormer's system and remedied the Hero of Meltdown's infection.
Several days later, Stormer responded to a distress call in New Stellac City alongside Bulk and Stringer. Discerning that they had walked into an ambush, the three veteran Heroes were ambushed by Corroder and Thunder. With the visual link to Mission Control disrupted, the remaining members of Alpha Team launched a rescue operation to recover their superiors. Arriving on the scene with Breez and Surge as reinforcements, Furno and his cohorts were soon assaulted by the combined might of XPlode, Meltdown, Corroder, and Thunder. With Stormer, Bulk, and Stringer emerging from their shelter to cover the rookies, Alpha Team stood assembled to fend off the criminals.
However, the Heroes were soon confronted by a swirling, nebulous vortex in the sky above New Stellac City. With their weapons magnetically attracted to the gravitational anomaly, Furno reluctantly relinquished his Dual Fire Shooter as Stormer stubbornly dived into the dimensional breach to confront Von Ness. Defying orders and following him, Furno left his teammates to combat the villains in order to cover the Alpha Leader. While he was initially irritated by Furno's disobedience, he soon conceded that he was in fact grateful, allowing the pair to progress deeper into the anomaly. Venturing further, Furno was confronted by Stormer's former teammate, Von Ness, who had undergone significant upgrades since their last encounter and now operated under the title of Von Nebula. Having smuggled in a set of boot-jet thrusters, Furno and Stormer tricked Von Nebula into revealing himself within the swirling gravitational mass, only for Furno to throw the gadgets into the center of the black hole while Stormer snatched up Von Nebula's Black Hole Orb Staff and trapped his former teammate within it. Escaping the collapsing nebula, Stormer and Furno returned to New Stellac City to find that their teammates had successfully apprehended the rest of Von Nebula's cohorts without their weapons.
Upon their return to Makuhero City, the Elite heroes presented Furno, Breez, and Surge to Daniella Capricorn, announcing them as the latest additions to Alpha Team. Escorting the Black Hole Orb Staff to Villain Storage, Furno was approached by Stormer and congratulated on his leadership capabilities, suggesting that one day the young Hero might replace him as Alpha Leader.
Ordeal of Fire
Several weeks later, Furno would accompany Stormer, Surge, and Breez on an emergency response to an assault on Tanker Station 22. Whilst escorting civilian workers to their Hero Factory Dropship, the Heroes received heavy fire from Drilldozer, Nitroblast and Jetbug. While Furno scouted ahead to provide reconnaissance, his teammates were overpowered by Drilldozer and forced to order a tactical retreat, realizing too late that their weaponry was ineffective against the heat-resistant upgrades their adversaries were equipped with. Once Fire Lord had siphoned electrical energy from the tanker station, the criminals attempted to surround the Heroes and take them captive. However, slipping away and damaging several of the fuel cells, Surge created an opening for his fellow Heroes to exploit, distracting the Fire Villains long enough for the rest of Alpha Team to stage a tactical retreat with the civilians, having been dealt a crushing defeat and lost control of the Tanker Station. With Furno pleading to return and rescue Surge, Stormer was forced to make a hard call and leave his teammate behind.
Returning to Makuhero City shortly after Akiyama Makuro announcing a prospective Upgrade, Furno approached Hero Factory's founder and backed Stormer's request that Alpha Team immediately be suited with the Upgrade. Met initially with resistance, the Heroes ultimately managed to convince Mr. Makuero to authorize their upgrade, making the members of Alpha Team the first Heroes to be augmented into the new system.
After a brief training interlude with their new forms, Stormer led Breez and Furno back to Tanker Station 22 on a tactical assault, though Furno would swiftly blow their cover upon arrival. Taking the mistake in their stride, Alpha Team eagerly launched a counter-attack under the cover of darkness. Having been refitted with heat-resistant armor, the Heroes managed to severely diminishing the impact of the Fire Villains' Lava Sphere Shooters, successfully holding their own against the criminals. However, struck by an energy pulse from a charged beam weapon, Furno's arm because magnetized to Breez's. Caught off-guard and ambushed by Drilldozer, the two Heroes were able to beat a hurried retreat when the explosive entrance of a Hero Pod into the lower atmosphere distracted their adversary, transporting rookie Heroes Julius Nex and Nathan Evo onto the scene. With Evo and Stormer bombarding the villains with energy blasts, Nex swiftly uncoupled Breez and Furno, reversing the magnetic attraction and enabling them each to return to the battle. Working together, the members of Alpha Team were able to gradually neutralize each of the henchbots before giving chase after Fire Lord.
With Fire Lord siphoning more electrical energy from a nearby power conduit, Furno and his teammates engaged the leader of the Fire Villains on one, unified front only for Surge to intervene and debilitate their adversary. Restraining the villain shortly after, the Heroes were re-united with Surge.
With all four members of Fire Lord's gang neutralized, Furno personally oversaw their transportation to Makuhero City for advanced containment and rehabilitation. Having successfully recovered their teammate, Furno later stood with Alpha Team as one of the first Heroes to have been upgraded, this marking the dawn of a new age in the proud legacy of Hero Factory.
Over the course of the following months, Furno would return to active patrol duty and interact sparingly with his teammates. During this time, Furno would witness the incorporation of Evo and Nex into Alpha Team, as well as the creation of a new rookie named Rocka.
Savage Planet
Several months later, the Hero Factory received an urgent distress signal from Rocka, who had countermanded instructions while on a patrol mission and journeyed to the planet Quatros. Refitted with hawk-themed armor, Furno accompanied a team consisting of Stormer, Bulk, Nex, and Stringer to recover their teammate, quelling several instances of in-fighting and excessive showmanship amongst the Heroes. Landing the Dropship on the quarantined jungle planet, Furno listened as Stormer reiterated the mission parameters and recounted the tale of Professor Aldeous Witch's exile, a former Hero Factory scientist who had sent out the initial distress beacon.
Venturing out onto the planet's surface, the Heroes tracked their fallen teammate's unique Quaza signature, eventually finding him unconscious with depleted energy reserves. While escorting the weakened rookie back to the Dropship, Furno became separated from the group and was approached by Aldeous Witch, who had now adopted the title of Witch Doctor. Surviving the encounter, Furno returned to report that the Witch Doctor was controlling Quatros' wildlife for his own sinister purposes, correlating with Rocka's testimony. With Rocka refitted with his own set of jungle armor, the Heroes set off once more in search of Witch Doctor, eventually reaching an abandoned teleportation device. However, with Rocka and Furno constantly bickering hindering Alpha Team's progress, Stormer furiously proposed that they each head up a smaller team of three to once and for all decide who was the better tactician. Leading his own team consisting of Stringer and Nex, Furno and his compatriots traveled through the jungle on foot. Venturing closer to Witch Doctor's mining operation, the three heroes were ambushed by a Waspix and Scorpio specimen, both corrupted by the influence of Witch Doctor's Quaza Spikes. While Furno engaged the Waspix in the air, Stringer and Nex defended their position in the treetops. While the Waspix was eventually overpowered, the Scorpio would trail Furno and his allies as they centered in on Witch Doctor's base of operations.
Reunited with the rest of the team, Furno soon discovered that the teleportation system had reconstituted Stormer, Rocka, and Bulk at a quarter of their original size. While Furno drew the attention of the site's Fangz hounds, Stringer and Nex carried their allies back to the teleportation access tunnel and reactivated it, returning the three shrunken Heroes to their original size. Now at full strength, Stormer returned to the helm and led the charge against the Witch Doctor. Working alongside Nex, Furno was able to successfully lure a corrupted Raw-Jaw into a trap, where Stringer was ultimately able to remove the corrupted Quaza Spike from the creature, thus releasing it from Witch Doctor's control.
With Rocka refitting himself in ancient armor found beneath the temple grounds, the Heroes were finally able to overwhelm Witch Doctor and destroy his Skull Staff, ceasing his influence over the planet's wildlife. However, with the drilling probe still in operation, Witch Doctor was able to extract the last deposit of Quaza mineral from Quatros' surface, thus debilitating the delicate ecosystem of the planet. Working to bring down the probe, Bulk and Furno were able to damage the thrusters and return the Quaza to the temple grounds from which they had been extracted, thus restoring Quatros to its original state of floral abundance.
With the rescue mission complete and the exiled professor apprehended, Furno helped detain Witch Doctor and transported him back to the Hero Craft, ready for transport to the Villain Storage Facility beneath the Assembly Tower.
Some time after the Quatros mission and notably coinciding with Black Phantom's assault on the Assembly Tower, a villain named Voltix was known to have smuggled the essence of Von Nebula into Villain Storage. Evading the security measures, Von Nebula's gaseous form was able to trigger the Black Hole Orb Staff and conjure a localized black hole portal in the central chamber. With the cells deactivated in the ensuring power surge, Furno and his teammates attempted to subdue the criminals before they reached the dimensional gateway and escaped. Unable to contain a single villain, however, the Heroes watched the dimensional gate collapse then reported the solemn news back to the Command Center.
With Hero Factory resources spread thin, Mission Control assigned each Hero an individual mission to capture and subdue an escaped criminal. Assigned the task of subduing Jawblade, Furno was refitted with an Aquajet Pack and a Plasma Harpoon Shooter. Adjusting to his new frame, Furno was dispatched to Scylla and issued an upgraded set of Hero Cuffs with which to apprehend Jawblade. Locating the escaped convict, Furno swiftly attempted to out-maneuver the criminal, though Jawblade proved too agile in the aquatic terrain, exposing Furno to pure Oxidium and rusting his mechanical components. Supercharging his Hero Core, Furno was fortunately able to counteract the effects of the catalyst and adopted a different set of tactics. Adjusting to his disadvantage, Furno successfully used his Plasma Harpoon Shooter and Hero Cuffs to restrain Jawblade. Successfully completing his mission, Furno returned to Makuhero City with Jawblade in tow.
Finding that the Assembly Tower's Fail-Safe Protocol had been initiated, Furno was reunited with Stormer, Surge and Evo only to find that a holographic forcefield now surrounded the Assembly Tower. With Rocka operating on the inside and with a villain named Black Phantom now in control of the building, Furno and his cohorts were forced to utilize more underhanded tactics. Convincing Daniella Capricorn to report that no Heroes had returned, Alpha Team accelerated Black Phantom's plans and gave Rocka the opportunity to deactivate the Fail-Safe forcefield. Making their way back inside the Command Center, Furno and his teammates confronted Rocka about his clandestine activities, only for the Hero to reveal that he had been operating under instruction of the Hero Recon Team and that he had been investigating Black Phantom for some time. Discovering that the villain had refitted the Assembly Tower with Anti-Quaza and that he planned to generate an army of Heroes to serve his purpose, Furno accompanied Alpha Team in the charge against Black Phantom's Arachnix Spiders while Rocka directly engaged him. Ultimately defeating the villain by connecting him directly to the Assembly Tower's Quaza supply, Furno witnessed the defeat and capture of the Black Phantom, as well as the successful reactivation of the Mission Control center and the return of Stringer from his mission.
However, once the Hero Factory systems had been restored, Alpha Team would later discover that Black Phantom had acquired the blueprints of the entire Assembly Tower and distributed them to an unknown recipient.
Following several failed attempts to recapture the escaped villain known as Core Hunter, Furno would later participate in an Alpha Team recovery operation to track down the mercenary. Partnered with Stormer, Furno soon discovered that Core Hunter was searching for the three components of the Doom Box, a doomsday device of galactic proportions. Reconvening with Alpha Team on the planet the Doom Box was forged on, Furno and his teammates were overpowered by their adversary until Surge dealt a decisive blow that presumably disrupted Core Hunter's molecular constitution.
Brain Attack
Several months after the mass-breakout event, Alpha Team was recalled to the Assembly Tower and informed of an impending attack on Makuhero City. With the planet's local wildlife growing increasingly volatile and banding together around the Hero Factory headquarters, Stormer temporarily delegated leadership responsibilities to Furno and was refitted in the Assembly Tower. Adorned with a locking clamp around his Hero Core and a Visor, Furno was refitted with a set of XL armor and charged with coordinating several Hero Teams into forming a defensive perimeter around the Assembly Tower. Leading Alpha Team into the central quadrant of Makuhero City to fend off the army of mutated invaders, Furno and his teammates would later note that their attackers were possessed by parasitic Brains.
Engaging a number of mutated Pyrox creatures, Furno enjoyed considerable success in repelling the creatures, keeping the damage to a minimum and ensuring as few civilian casualties as possible. Once Bulk announced his discovery that the artificial Brains could be removed from their hosts by a blow to the cranium over the shared radio feed, the Heroes were able to more effectively combat the creatures.
Responding to a perimeter breach in the Assembly Tower, Furno accompanied Alpha Team back to Mission Control, where he was faced with a platoon of corrupted Blank Heroes and his missing teammate, Mark Surge, who had been taken over by one of the Brains. Fending off the Blank Heroes, Furno established an opening for Breez to free Surge and deactivate the Blank Heroes. With the origins of the Brains continuing to elude the Heroes despite their victory, Furno would aid in the recovery effort and take on greater responsibility from this point onward.
Several weeks later, after Rocka and Breez were dispatched to intercept the Valiant star-cruiser on a collision course with Makuhero City, Furno was present for an ethical confrontation between Bulk and Stormer, who had personal ties to the star-cruiser's captain. Reinforcing Bulk, Furno convinced Stormer that Breez and Rocka would be unable to deter the craft from its trajectory, prompting Stormer to launch off after the two Heroes and place Bulk in temporary command of Alpha Team. With the spacecraft entering the inner solar system, Furno witnessed the acting Alpha Leader make a hard call and regretfully authorized a platoon of Dropships to intercept the Valiant with destructive force. With Stormer, Rocka, and Breez managing to commandeer the vessel before it entered the planet's atmosphere, Bulk was forced to hurriedly cancel the order to save the lives of his teammates.
Abilities and Traits
As one of Alpha Team's youngest members, Furno was designed with all the latest advances in Hero speed and maneuverability, with his synchronicity stabilizers proving a technological marvel. Programmed for agility and tactical prowess, Furno possesses a strong sense of right and wrong. He is willing to admonish even his authorities when he recognized an obstruction of justice. Often displaying impulsive or stubborn behavior, however, Furno often came into conflict with other leader figures and possessed a competitive streak.
Building off the leadership model of Alpha Leader Preston Stormer, Furno tries to exercise a more cautious leadership style than his contemporaries. He maintains the dutiful, loyal attitude he bore as a rookie, and tries hard to heed the opinions of his teammates as well. Nevertheless, Furno initially grew irritated when Rocka began to compete with him, though the two would eventually resolve their differences.
In his original form, Furno was equipped with a Dual Fire Shooter, a bladed weapon designed for melee combat as well as firing long-ranged bursts of flame. Upon impact with a solid surface, a shot from this weapon would scorch a target, disrupting projectile weaponry and delivering non-lethal injuries. However, one set of these blades was notably stolen and re-purposed by Jawblade on a failed mission in Furno's early career.
Following the Upgrade, Furno was temporarily equipped with a Multi-Tool Ice Shield, a weapon that was capable of both firing energy bursts and deploying a rotating blade.
Some time after being refitted with the Upgrade, Furno was temporarily equipped with jungle-compatible armor channeling the abilities of an eagle. In this form, he notably wielded a Plasma Bow and a set of shoulder-mounted wings, which offered aerial jet propulsion.
Refitted to combat the mass BREAKOUT event, Furno was refitted with an Aquajet Pack and aquatic armor, enabling him to chase Jawblade to his home planet, Scylla. Wielding a Plasma Harpoon Shooter modified for use underwater, Furno was equipped for both long-ranged and melee combat.
During the events of the BRAIN ATTACK, Furno was refitted with an XL Hero frame, this time wielding both a Flaming Fire Sword and a Fire Shield, making a notable departure from his classic arsenal. Additionally, Furno was refitted with a Locking Clamp around his Hero Core, a specialized Visor, and equipped with a cape made from a metallic alloy thin enough to bend and cut but unbreakable..
- Furno was initially voiced by Eric Christian Olsen in the Hero Factory Television Show. However, owing to unspecified scheduling and budgetary conflicts, Josh Keaton would replace Olsen for Episode 10: Brain Attack, the final installment in the television series.

Chlordane Testing
Approximately 75% of U.S homes whose construction started before March of 1988 are suspected of indoor air chlordane contamination problems. Chlordane was used to treat termite prior to the "banning" of chlordane in 1988. The U.S. Air Force research shows 7% of homes are suspected of being above the "safety levels" of 5 micrograms per cubic meter of air, set by the National Academy of Sciences.
Professional Building Inspectors provides affordable, state-of-the-art air analysis for chlordane in homes and assists owners with reducing the health effects posed by breathing this insecticide. Over 30 million homes in the United States were treated with chlordane before this insecticide was banned. Unfortunately, due to the lack of obvious odor or easily administered test, most occupants are unaware this pesticide is in the indoor air they are breathing. If this insecticide was applied under your home, it will continue to degass into the indoor air at levels that can cause disease.
If you are buying a house built before 1990 and live in a termite infested area, or if your family is experiencing symptoms of upper respiratory infections, headaches, anxiety, or depression or neurological disorders, chemical sensitivity, or breast cancer, then consider taking preventive steps by having the house tested for chlordane.
When Should I Test?
If you are buying a home:
- If you know the house has been treated with chlordane/heptachlor.
- If the house was treated for termites between 1950 and 1990.
- If you see drill holds around the basement floor or in the sill plates. (This type of application results in the highest levels)
- If you suspect external treatment or that the house was pre-treated. (No drill holes will be visible)
- If you plan on refinishing the basement as a living space or if it is now a living space. (We have found that chlordane levels in basements can be up to 8 times higher than those in ground level rooms)
Documented Medical Problems Caused By Chlordane
- Headache (migraine)
- Anxiety
- Fatigue
- Confusion
- Chronic jerking movements
- Insomnia
- Learning disabilities in children
- Brain cancer
- Parkinson disease
- Early onset of menopause
- Breast cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Testicular cancer
- Diabetes
- Lung cancer
- High cholesterol levels
- Low testosterone
- Hair loss
- Upper respiratory infections
- Asthma
- History of Allergies

Wafer level packaging and flip chip design are the most recent trends in LED manufacturing and packaging. These LED types are perfectly suited for producing COB modules. This combination already promises better thermal performance than standard SMD package based products. However, there is still room for improvements. Pao Chen, Director of Research and Development at Flip Chip Opto shows how a 3-pad flip chip LED further reduces thermal resistance, allows higher power and can help to reduce costs.

You've worked hard to build and protect your credit score. Don't undo all that effort by making one big credit-score mistake: submitting too many credit card applications over a short period of time.
To understand why, let's dig into how credit scores work, how credit card applications differ from other forms of credit, and how you can mitigate this risk to protect your credit score and get the credit you need.
Continue Reading Below
How credit scores work The exact algorithms used to calculate your credit score are not publicly known. We know the factors the credit reporting agencies consider, and we know the range of scores that the calculation outputs, but we just don't know the exact math used to get from point A to point B. The algorithms are proprietary for each agency and kept secret.
We know that your payment history plays a big role. The ratio of your available credit to outstanding balances -- the utilization rate -- is important, too. We also know that the number of times you apply for credit over a short period of time matters. It's that component that will drive down your credit score with too many credit card applications.
But the story is not quite that simple. Some credit inquiries don't ding your credit score, while others do. More complex still, some inquiries will hurt your score more severely than others.
For example, if a prospective employer checks your credit before offering you a job, that inquiry won't count against your credit score. Neither will an inquiry from a cable or utility company. These types of inquiries are called "soft inquiries," and the credit reporting agencies essentially ignore them when calculating your credit score.
Credit card applications and other loan applications are "hard inquiries""Hard inquiries," on the other hand, can influence an estimated 10% of your overall credit score. Hard inquiries include mortgages, auto loans, and, yes, credit card applications.
Among the various types of hard inquiries, credit card applications are the most dangerous threat to your credit score. The logic behind this fact has to do with how lenders assess the risks of each loan type.
For example, let's assume that you have good credit and are applying for three credit cards. You want a primary card for day-to-day use and two backup cards for emergencies. There is nothing wrong with this plan. However, if you were to apply for all three cards in quick succession, odds are your credit score would take a hit.
The reason is that banks view this pattern of behavior in terms of the worst-case scenario. To the banks, submitting a slew of credit card applications at once is viewed as trying to get access to a ton of cash at one time, cash that could easily land you in financial trouble if mismanaged. They don't know your reasonable plan, so they assume the worst.
Mortgage applications, auto applications, and other forms of installment loans are treated a bit differently. Banks and credit agencies expect you to apply for these loans at a few different places as you look for the best rate and terms. So instead of dinging your credit score for every inquiry, the credit agency will lump together all of these inquiries over a 45-day period and treat all of those inquiries as one in its calculation of your credit score.
Knowledge is power in credit card applications In that light, you shouldn't apply for your three credit cards all at one time. Instead, apply for your day-to-day card first, and then use it responsibly for 90 days. After 90 days, apply for the first emergency card, and then wait 90 more days. Only then should you apply for the final card. This conservative, slow approach spreads out the credit card applications sufficiently to protect your credit score and still allow you access to the emergency cards you want.
Knowing how credit card applications can affect your credit score is the first step in responsibly using your credit card. If you're planning to apply for a mortgage or auto loan in the next 90 days, you should consider waiting to submit any credit card applications until after your other loans are approved.
Likewise, if you want to shop around for the best credit card deal, do your homework before you apply using the many free tools available online. That way, you can apply to the right card for your needs without dinging your credit score in the process.
