Workshop B1 - Approximation Theory
December 15, 16:00 ~ 16:25 - Room A12
Convolution operations in curve and surface modeling
Thomas Grandine
Boeing Computer Services, USA - firstname.lastname@example.com
Motivated by the need to develop empirical models of cured composite laminated parts, convolution-based techniques of smoothing curve and surface models have recently been investigated. These convolution operations for tensor product splines have been found to be very effective, not only for building the intended models, but also for modeling tooling and machining. The technique so far appears to be very promising, and it appears to offer the potential to solve some of the data complexity issues that arise in the practical modeling of real world manufactured parts. This talk will describe the investigations that have so far been performed and offer ideas for further development

Writing about Reading: The Confession
September 17, 2012 § 3 Comments
The second book in a five-book series by Olen Steinhauer, The Confession is an interesting move by the author. Most series stay with the same point-of-view character (or characters, if there is more than one), so I was expecting The Confession to continue with Emil Brod, the hero of The Bridge of Sighs. But Steinhauer not only departs from that tradition, but also changes the narrative voice; where The Bridge of Sighs was a third-person narrative, The Confession is told in first-person, from the point of view of Ferenc Kolyeszar — a character barely mentioned in the previous novel.
The Confession begins eight years after The Bridge of Sighs. Kolyeszar's marriage to his beautiful wife is in trouble, and he suspects her of infidelity. Distracted from his work as a homicide investigator for the People's Militia, he brushes off his partner's suggestion that an apparent suicide is something more sinister. Then another body turns up, and Kolyeszar finds himself splitting his time between murder, corrupt politicians, and his crumbling marriage.
While still a good book with a few twists and turns, The Confession nevertheless isn't quite as good as Bridge of Sighs, and pales in comparison to Steinhauer's newer books in the Milo Weaver series (The Tourist, The Nearest Exit, and An American Spy). I'm still eager to read the next book in the series, 36 Yalta Boulevard, which leaps another ten years and seems to focus on a new character. And even if this novel isn't quite as good as the author's other books, it's still better than most novels on the shelves these days.

University of Kansas
KU's Hudy, injured Marine share Warrior outlook
The workout will begin in minutes, and Michael Pride jokes that he's ready for some "Hudy muscles." He smiles as he says this, and the scar that covers the inside of his left arm comes into view.
It is long and thick, jagged in parts, and one of the reasons he is standing here, inside the Anderson Family Strength Center, ready to begin a session with Andrea Hudy, KU's strength and conditioning coordinator.
Pride, a sergeant in the Marine Corps, didn't set out to become a coach of the famed Wounded Warriors Project. He grew up near Swope Park in Kansas City, Mo., and his athletic career consisted of two years of track at Central High School.
But here he is, wearing a Jayhawk shirt and in the midst of a week of work to learn instruction and technique, part of a collaboration between the Marines and KU's Health and Exercise Science department. But Hudy says she's learned just as much from Pride.
Nearly five years ago, doctors told Pride that he'd probably lose his arm. But here is, reconstructed, sweating through a set of pull-ups. Pride says he never set out to be an American hero, or a Purple Heart recipient, or even a military track coach. But if there's anybody that's learned to ignore barriers, real or imagined, it might just be Hudy.
And this is where Pride begins his story.
The task was simple: Clear a road. Something Pride had been trained to do. It was September 2008, just more than a year after he'd joined the Marines, and Pride had arrived in Afghanistan on a mission to train local military police.
Pride was behind the wheel of a Humvee, with a Navy corpsman in the vehicle. When the ambush came, and two vehicles in their unit were hit by roadside bombs, Pride was given orders to transport the corpsman, a medical specialist, to the downed vehicles. But just a few moments later, Pride's Humvee rolled over another improvised explosive device — "a double-stacked anti-tank mine," Pride says — and the force from the blast rolled the vehicle onto the driver's side.
"The Humvee crushed my left arm," Pride says.
Just a year or two earlier, Pride had been working as a manager for a DHL Tracking branch in Kansas City. He'd graduated from Central in 1999, and his first daughter came a few years later. But when the economy went south, Pride was left looking for work.
"No one was hiring," Pride says. "And I had a couple of friends and family in the Marine Corps. And I reached out to them: How was the Marine Corps for them? And they kind of gave me positive feedback."
Pride had always been a leader, the kind of kid with a "go-get-it" attitude, so the Marines seemed like a solution, even if at 26, he was six to eight years older than many of the men who joined when he did. But just one year later, he was left with an injury that risked his left arm. And all he could think about, Pride says, was his newborn daughter, Alysa, who had been born while he was deployed.
"I wasn't really worried about the arm," Pride says. "It was just the fact, I probably wouldn't be able to hold my brand-new daughter that was born when I was out there. That was my only fear."
The rehab process was long and grinding, but slowly, Pride's arm began to heal. He competed in the inaugural Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, Colo., in 2010, and soon after, he began coaching. Last week, he arrived in Lawrence. He told his story to the men's and women's basketball teams, and then he headed to the weight room.
He was here to learn from Hudy, and she had her own story to tell.
Inside Kansas' sprawling weight-room, 42,000 square feet of squat racks and state-of-the art technology, Hudy can often find herself playing a range of different roles.
Sometimes she's a drill sergeant, like when former KU center Jeff Withey used to protest his way through a brutal workout during his first years on campus. Sometimes she's a mother, like when former Kansas point guard Sherron Collins texted last year and Hudy dropped everything to advise him on some offseason workouts. Mostly, though, Hudy appears to slide into the role of teacher, searching for the right way to motivate individuals, devouring new ideas and research in the field.
On Wednesday, before running through a workout with Pride, Hudy comfortably jumped from role to role, explaining a cutting-edge weight-room system that measures the ground-reaction force of every KU athlete, and theorizing on the differences of motivating male and female athletes.
"Women tend to be accountable to the group, which may be more deep-rooted with women raising a family," Hudy says. "Those are my thoughts on it. Guys usually tend to be motivated through the individual."
These are the types of things, Kansas coach Bill Self says, that separate Hudy from others in her field. In 10 years at Kansas, she has been a part of nine straight Big 12 titles and one NCAA title, turning mid-level recruits into sculpted NBA Draft picks.
"Andrea gets a lot of credit, and deservedly so," Self said earlier this year. "(But) what she does with the guys isn't just from a weight gain, or things like that. It's from a confidence, a flexibility (standpoint). It's from things you can't see."
Withey has called Hudy the Jayhawks' secret weapon. Self has used the "Hudy System" as a selling point in recruiting. And the plaudits have earned Hudy something of a cult following among Kansas fans.
It's a long way from 10 years ago, when Self was skeptical about hiring a woman to run his program's strength and conditioning program. Hudy had grown up in central Pennsylvania, the youngest of five children. She played volleyball at Maryland in the early '90s, took a crack at corporate fitness, and finally found a home helping young athletes at UConn.
More than a decade later, she is a trailblazer, a highly successful woman in a male-dominated world. And she is also in-demand. On July 10, she took a trip to Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., discussing coaching and leadership with a group of Marines.
"The same things we deal with (regarding) younger athletes are the same things they deal with, with younger Marines," Hudy said.
On Wednesday morning, Pride stood near a weight machine while Hudy prepared for another day of work. The open room was mostly empty, and Hudy approached with a plan.
"You ready to work out?" Hudy asked.
"I need some of those 'Hudy muscles,'" Pride answered.
For the past week, Hudy said, they'd talked coaching, leadership and motivation. And after a few discussions, they soon realized that the same lessons Hudy brought to her workouts were the same ones that Pride imparted on his Marines. The stories weren't so different.
"The leadership skills are parallel; they're just significantly different," Hudy said. "Either lead, follow or get out of the way."

In atopic dermatitis, the skin becomes extremely itchy and inflamed, causing redness, swelling, vesicle formation (minute blisters), cracking, weeping, crusting, and scaling. This type of eruption is termed eczematous. In addition, dry skin is a very common complaint in almost all those afflicted with atopic dermatitis.
Psoriasis is a long-lasting autoimmune disease which is characterized by well-defined erythematous plaques with silvery scales. Thepsoriatic skin patches are typically red, itchy, and scaly. They may vary in severity from small and localized to complete body coverage. Injury to the skin can trigger psoriatic skin changes at that spot. Symptoms worsen during winter and with certain medications. Infections and psychological stress may also play a role .Psoriasis is a non-contiguous skin condition. Psoriasis appears as red or pink areas of thickened, raised, and scaling skin. It classically affects skin over the elbows, knees, and scalp. Although anybody area may be involved, it tends to be more common in areas of trauma, scratching, or abrasions.
Psoriasis may vary in appearance. It most often is small flattened scaly bumps and larger thick plaques of raised red patches of skin.Psoriatic arthritis is a form of chronic inflammatory arthritis that has a highly variable clinical presentation and frequently occurs in association with skin and nail psoriasis. It typically involves painful inflammation of the joints and surrounding connective tissue and can occur in any joint, but most commonly affects the joints of the fingers and toes
Hives (medically known as urticaria) appear on the skin as wheals that are red, very itchy, smoothly elevated areas of skin often with a blanched center. They appear in varying shapes and sizes, from a few millimeters to several inches in diameter anywhere on the body. Ordinary hives flare up suddenly and usually for no specific reason. Welts appear, often in several places. They flare, itch, swell, and go away in a matter of minutes to hours, only to appear elsewhere.
Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a long-term skin disease that occurs when hair follicles are clogged with dead skin cellsand oil from the skin.It is characterized by blackheads or whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and possible scarring. It primarily affects areas of the skin with a relatively high number of oil glands, including the face, upper part of the chest, and back. The resulting appearance can lead to anxiety, reduced self-esteem and, in extreme cases, depression or thoughts of suicide.
Seborrheic dermatitis, is a chronic, relapsing and usually mild dermatitis. It's a skin disorder affecting the scalp, face, torso. Typically, it presents with scaly, flaky, itchy, and red skin. It particularly affects the sebaceous-gland-rich areas of the skin. In adolescents and adults, it usually presents as scalp scaling or as redness of the nasolabial fold. Dandruff is a type of seborrheic dermatitis where inflammation is not present.Seborrheic dermatitis' symptoms appear gradually, and usually the first signs are flaky skin and scalp. Symptoms occur most commonly anywhere on the skin of the scalp, behind the ears, on the face, and in areas where the skin folds. Redness and flaking may also occur on
1. The skin
2. Near the eyelashes,
3. On the forehead,
4. Around the sides of the nose,
5. On the chest,
6. On the upper back.
Commonly, patients experience mild redness, scaly skin lesions and in some cases hair loss. Other symptoms include patchy scaling or thick crusts on the scalp, red, greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales, itching, soreness and yellow or white scales that may attach to the hair shaft.
Lichen planus is a common inflammatory disorder of the skin characterized by a dense band like infiltrate on the skin with intense itching. It is a disease characterized by itchy reddish-purple polygon-shaped skin lesions on the lower back, wrists, and ankles. It may also present with a burning sensation in the mouth.The main causes for Lichen Planus are
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection involving the inner layers of the skin. It specifically affects the dermis and subcutaneous fat. Signs and symptoms include an area of redness which increases in size over a few days. The borders of the area of redness are generally not sharp and the skin may be swollen. While the redness often turns white when pressure is applied, this is not always the case. The area of infection is usually painful. Lymphatic vessels may occasionally be involved, and the person may have a fever and feel tired.
The legs and face are the most common sites involved, though cellulitis can occur on any part of the body. The leg is typically affected following a break in the skin.
Heel fissures, also known as cracked heels can be a simple cosmetic problem and a nuisance, but can also lead to serious medical problems. Heel fissures occur when the skin on the bottom, outer edge of the heel becomes hard, dry and flaky, sometimes causing deep fissures that can be painful or bleed. Heel fissures can affect anyone, but risk factors include:
1. Dry climate
2. Obesity
3. Consistently walking barefoot or wearing sandals or open-backed shoes
4. Inactive sweat glands.
Like many foot conditions, heel fissures can become more dangerous if they go untreated and become deep or infected. This is especially dangerous for people with diabetes or compromised immune systems.
Lichen simplex chronicusalso known as Neurodermitis is a skin disorder characterized by chronic itching and scratching. The constant scratching causes thick, leathery, darkened skin. This condition is associated with many factors, including the scratch-itch cycle, psychological stressors, etc. People burdened with LSC have severe itching, followed by uncontrollable scratching of the same body region, excessively. Most common sites of LSC are the sides of the neck, the scalp, ankles, vulva, pubis, scrotum, and extensor sides of the forearms. The skin may become thickened and hyperpigmented as a direct result of chronic scratching. Typically, this period of increased scratching is associated with stressors.

And Just Like That, Eloise Is Potty Trained!
I know, I know. I should be a pro at this by now. But potty training is one of my least favourite things to do. But now, at 3 yrs and 3 months Eloise is now potty trained. Yay. She took her time!
Her nursery pointed out she kept saying she was a little girl, like Piper. Not a big girl. A common thing at that age, I suppose, when another little sibling appears in the family. So we started emphasising the big girl things she was doing. At that point whilst she had been to the toilet on her own, mostly it was adults reminding her. But within a few days of calling her a 'big girl' she started taking herself.
All in, it just took a couple of days to make it happen.
And the rest is history!
Thank god, from my perspective. Her nappies were getting harder and not so nice to deal with. It now feels like such a relief to only have to deal with Piper's nappies.

/abc123_alanjones poem 11/02/2014 15:18:24 link
I can see him standing there in front of me;
With arms opened wide ready to receive;
A worthless sinner to him I must be;
But still he bids come unto me;
I can see in his eyes the compassion he has for me;
Tears are running down my face;
Because of my guilt,and shame;
The way I have lived brought agony,and agony, pain;
Still he bids me to come;
I feel so small standing there in front of him;
Because I have nothing to offer to give him;
I know that he owns all;
What more does he need?
Then he says come unto me;
I can offer you eternal life;
Can take away your sins;
Wipe those tears from your eyes;
Show you love;
Give you. Peace;
And fill your heart with joy;
Accept me and believe;
Then you can live with me through all eternity;
I got down,and prayed;
His spirit took all of my sins away!
Filled me with joy on that day;
The day that I gave myself away to him;
Is the day that I started living my friend!

Introduction to what paragliding is about
Have you ever wondered about the basics of paragliding? Just how is a paraglider constructed? Or how do you actually fly one? Find out now, finishing with a flight of fancy down at the dunes!
Besides reading articles such as this one, you can learn a lot more about the sport by checking out the relevant books and DVDs from the Amazon online store. OK, on with the article...
One of the first things you might notice about paragliders is that they look somewhat like sports parachutes. You know, when skydivers jump out of a plane at some big public event, pull their rip-cord to deploy the 'chute and then glide to earth. Sometimes with a colored smoke flare burning away the whole time, just to make it more spectacular.
While flying, a paraglider looks very much like a sports parachute and is even categorized as one of the 'extreme sports'. But paragliders are always inflated before the pilot leaves the ground, unlike sports parachutes.
A Bit Of History
When mountaineers first descended from their climbs by gliding off the hillside, decades ago, it was just a steerable parachute they were using. But getting off the mountain was tricky and not particularly safe. So began a process of development to make the steerable parachutes lighter, safer and better gliders. They became known as para-gliders, or paragliders.
Modern paragliders are wonders of aeronautical engineering in fabric and lines, and are remarkably safe and easy to fly. Even so, the basics of paragliding have remained much the same over many years. How paragliders work has barely changed at all.
Modern Paragliders
Modern paragliders consist of 30 or more cells between an upper and a lower sail surface. Altogether, this is called the canopy. These cells are open at the front, so air rams in and keeps the wing inflated during flight. Connected to the underside of the canopy are a number of lines leading down to two or more risers which in turn are connected to the harness, above each shoulder of the pilot. A couple of brake toggles are connected to special steering lines as well. The pilot pulls on these to deform the wing a little so it steers left or right, as it glides down.
The lines supporting the pilot underneath the wing have received a lot of attention from designers. Modern materials are used which allow really thin and lightweight, but strong, lines. The lines are organized and connected together in such a way that there are many attachment points to the wing. This helps hold the shape of the wing and allows precise control. But there are only a few really long lines, which helps the paraglider slip through the air more easily.
That brightly colored paraglider you saw on TV the other night might have an L/D (lift to drag ratio) of 9 to 1, or 9:1. This means that if there was no wind and the pilot flew the wing at its best flying speed, it would gently glide down, travelling 9 meters across the ground for every 1 meter of height it lost. Or 9 feet to every foot of height lost, same thing.
Here's a comparison. If you make a little paper plane and toss it carefully across your living room carpet, it might manage 3:1 or so. The best I ever managed as a teenager was a paper plane design that got just over 5:1.
Imaginary First Flight
Now, how do you actually go about getting off the ground in one of these things? Quite easily, first comes the inflation phase. After you lay out your wing on the hillside, you face your wing with the wind on your back and pull on your A-risers. A-risers? They are connected to the lines that attach nearest the front edge of the wing.
So, after some guidance from an instructor, you get your wing filling with air and billowing up in the breeze.
Now what? Ok, you just start kiting your wing up and up. At this point it's behaving exactly as a kite. A huge, steerable one. Now it's overhead, in all its pressurized glory. You turn around, facing the breeze, a brake toggle in each hand, leaning into the wind and taking 1, 2, 3, wow, no more steps, you're off the ground!
Drifting a little to the left, so you pull down the right hand toggle just a tad.. that's better, gliding straight down onto the beach now. As the sand gets really close, you pull down firmly on both toggles to slow the forward speed and descent rate of the paraglider, allowing a gentle drop at walking pace onto the sand.
Behind you, your wing deflates and flutters down in a heap. Time to pull it into a bundle and walk back up the sand dune for another ride! It was all quite easy, although getting the landings perfect can take a bit of practice. And this is just the start, a one-way 'sled ride' down to the sand. Paragliders can stay up in the air for a long time, in the right conditions, but that will have to be the subject of another article!

Last night I put on Palestrina's Mass for Papae Marcelli as a quiet and inadequate token of the loss I feel. Tavener has never been my go to composer - Mozart and Bach vie for that dubious honour - but his works ( particularly the Protecting Veil ) impact on me in a way that only he and Messiaen can do. It is something about the imminence of transcendence - a phrase that I remember reading way back in the days that I read theology on the banks of the Cam.

What follows is a pretty serious, vaguely sarcastic, and hopefully helpful list of pointers for baking. These should be mostly useful for novice bakers.
1. It's not a law
I am not a baking goddess. I'm not even a baking demigod, or prophet, or satyr. I'm just a baker, and I have my own kitchen that has it's particular quirks. Your kitchen might be different, and you know it better than I do (presumably). Therefore, remember that what I say isn't law; if you think a different way will work better for you, go for it! (Of course, don't blame me if you do your own thing. Only blame me if you followed all my rules and something still didn't work). Remember that my ingredients aren't rules, especially for the few non-baking recipes. Feel free to cut down or amp up the herbs to create something you think is delicious, and get creative!
2. Watch the bowl, not the clock.
Most of the recipes I write up use descriptions of what's inside a bowl instead of a timestamp. Remember (again) that every kitchen is different, and therefore room temperatures, mixer speeds, and oven heats may be different. If you're confused about what something is supposed to look like, email me!
3. Weigh things.
If you're lucky enough to have a scale, remember that volume is often faulty. Substances such as flour, brown and powdered sugar, and cocoa powder may all have differing volumes depending on the brand and the handling. Whenever possible, I will include weight measurements (mostly because I use them.) Another plus side to using a scale? Cutting out lots of measuring cups.
4. Scrape the sides
I will forget to write this in recipes. Remember to use a spatula to make sure all the ingredients are included. Make a habit of it.
5. Leaveners.
Email me if you're still confused about the difference between baking soda and baking powder. I am not a chemistry whiz by any means, but I do know a lot about leaveners.
6. Quality, quality, quality.
Chocolate is one of the biggest draws on my baking supplies budget (which is my whole budget). This is because I will only get good quality chocolate. The chocolate not only tastes better, but changes in fat content and sugar content can drastically effect a recipe like the salted chocolate rye cookies, which are mostly chocolate. This goes for most other ingredients, especially when used prominently in a recipe. Use the best tasting cream for vanilla ice cream; in cake batter it doesn't really matter. Use great butter for croissants and buttercream frosting; in cookies regular old unsalted is fine. Using the best ingredients where they matter will make your recipes shine.

In the fast paced competitive arena of today it is essential to be always on the lookout for ways to outfox your competition. Try ignoring it and you are doomed. Gone are the days when you can sit back and relax on the laurels of a conventional business methodology. There is a serious need to adopt a 'Game Changer' for your business, one that can take your business to newer heights and help your business catapult to success.
One such business model which has gained popularity in recent times is embracement of Virtual Assistant Services. Post the recessionary era, the popularity of virtual assistant services has surged to an unprecedented level. Industry experts see the emergence of such services as a welcome change and feel companies must embrace similar processes which can help them stay lean, mean and cost-effective all the time.
A business by outsourcing some part of its operations to a company expertising in delivering quality virtual administrative services only gains in the process. With such an arrangement the benefits are manifold for an organization. Let us explore a few of these:
- Cost Reduction – With the burden of hiring, training and investment into an employee vanishing all together with a single stroke, your business is set to gain when it comes to cutting down costs.
- Expertise – Many of the professionally managed service providers in the Virtual Assistant Services space offer a talent pool of highly skilled professionals who are adept at handling your specific business needs.
- Timely Execution – There are times when the criticality of a project such as meeting a deadline goes for a toss in the wake of personal exigencies. These are unavoidable when it comes to a real-time employee. However, an outsourcing arrangement ensures all tasks are completed keeping a strict adherence to deadlines.
- No Burden On Infrastructure – In the wake of ramp-up needs, a company can save on the overheads related to investment on office space, equipments, stationery, etc. A virtual assistant operates out of their own workspace.
- Win-back Focus on Core Competency – In the light of having outsourced some of its routine administrative and personal functions, a business can now have 100% focus on its core areas of operation, thereby helping it reach glorious heights.
So are you all set to embrace the change? The above benefits of having virtual assistant services in your scheme of things should help you make up that decision.
Contact an expert Virtual Assistant Services company now and get wowed in the process.

Credit Agencies - Information on credit scoring
Lenders use a system called credit scoring to determine whether they will accept a loan application.
Generally speaking, an application for a secured loan is more likely to be successful than an unsecured loan application, especially if the applicant has had previous credit problems.
Please note that ADM Online does not make the decision on whether your application is successful - this is done by the lending company.
Should the lender not accept your loan application, ADM Online will not be told the reason why. We are only told whether not your application has been successful or not.
What is credit scoring?
Credit scoring is not an exact science, different lenders have different systems. Generally, lenders will look for the following:
Different lenders may take some or all of these questions into account when deciding whether to accept your loan application.

The conservation site is composed of remnant semi-arid woodlands, with an understorey largely made up of native shrubs and grasses, along with a rich diversity of birds, reptiles and other animals. In May 2011, Birds Australia confirmed the sighting of a flock of endangered Black Throated Finch on Bimblebox, marking the site's importance.

So today I was sitting down eating an apple and Jax was staring at me so I figured I'd give him a little taste. Well he of course loved it, so I proceeded to share with him. I would take a bite then give him a taste and so on and so on. This went on peacefully for about 2 minutes. Then he decided he was done sharing. He wanted his own. I took the apple away from him to take a bite and he started crying/yelling at me! I was not happy that this sweet little moment was ruined cause little man got greedy! I called my dad a few minutes later and told him the story and he then gave me the biggest mommy guilt trip about how could I tease Jax like that and not give him his own to eat, and how mean that was. So the next thing you know I'm in the kitchen peeling and cutting another apple just for my child. And here is the result
I'd say he looks happy. And perhaps just a little bit smug.

Last year, I did not participate in the Goodreads reading challenge. However, I did keep up with my reading. In 2016, I read 14 books. They are:
- Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison – 4 stars out of 5 – audio book
- The Martian by Andy Weir – 5/5 – audio book
- The Irresistible Inheritance of Wilberforce by Paul Torday – 5/5- paperback
- We Were Liars by E. Lockhart – 2/5 – hardback/library
- Vengeance Road by Erin Bowman – 5/5 – hardback
- Soundless by Richelle Mead – 3/5 – hardback – review
- Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel – 5/5 – hardback/library
- The Humans by Matt Haig – 5/5 – hardback/library – review
- A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness – 3/5 – hardback/library
- The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker – 4/5 – hardback/library – review
- Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan – 3/5 – hardback/library
- Kindred by Octavia Bulter – 5/5 – paperback
- The Girl With All the Gifts by M.R. Carey – 3/5 – paperback
- Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon – 5/5 – paperback
The favorite book of the year was "The Humans" by Matt Haig. There were so many quotable phrases. It was refreshing and comical to get a look at humans from an alien's point of view. I love it. I can't stop thinking about it. I ended up buying my own copy. The worst book of the year was "We Were Liars" by E. Lockhart. I hate this book with a passion. This book attempted to be suspenseful and did a horrible job. I just wanted it to be over. I hated every single person in this book. It was painful to read. The only reason why I finished it was because it was a short read.
There is a big no reading gap in 2016 from June to December. TV took over my life during that time. I DNF (did not finish) "The Bone Clocks" by David Mitchell. It was entirely too slow for me. I own this book. So, I plan to go back to finish it in 2017. I also DNF "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman. I just wasn't in the mood for this kind of book at the time. I plan to check this out from the library again this year to give it another try. I put down "Jane Eyre" and "the long way to a small angry planet" as well. I really don't know why I put them down because I was enjoying them. I definitely plan on finishing them in 2017.
In 2017:
- I want to continue to utilize my local library.
- I want to dedicate one month to reading Toni Morrison's books.
- As stated above, I want to finish books I DNF.
- I want to start reading trilogies.
- I want to give Harry Potter another chance.
- I want to read some memoirs and/or nonfiction books.

I'm finally getting things back to normal after the holidays. Add to that having internet troubles and a minor car accident last week, 2013 has started off with a bang, lol. So on a positive note, I have a wonderful project that looks ahead to Valentine's Day. It's definitely not the traditional red/pink themed project, but the sentiment rings true, always trust your heart. So let's see how I put everything together.
Step One: Start by tearing up an old book into small pieces. I love books and had a hard time ripping one into pieces, so I went to the dollar store and bought a dictionary. I didn't feel so bad about destroying that, plus it only cost $1 and I only used 3 pages out of 200. I'll get plenty more use from that one. Then just adhere the pieces down in random directions until the base is covered.
Step Two: Clean up around the edges of the heart if you have any paper that overhangs. Make sure to apply a thin layer of gel medium over the paper. Then just set is aside to dry, preferably overnight.
Step Three: Using your Zig Brushable markers, scribble a bit of ink onto your craft sheet. Then, using a waterbrush, start picking up the ink and applying it to the paper. The water will help to spread the ink around and give a nice watercolor look.
Step Four: Continue adding ink in different colors until the heart is fully colored.
Step Five: Using your desired template, outline the entire template using a Zig Writer. Then simply color in the image.
Step Six: Highlight parts of the image with you Zig Wink of Stella pens. Love, love, love the sparkle!
Thanks for stopping in today!

It's a Boy! If you are planning a baby shower for someone who is having a boy, there are many different themes that you can use. Always keep in mind the hobbies and passions of the mother when coming up with a theme.
For example, maybe if the mother has a passion for reading, you ask all of the guests to bring a new book for the baby in lieu of a card. The Baby Shower Ideas for Boys can be a bit endless, so you definitely need a plan before you try to choose!
It is always nice to tie in the theme of a baby shower to the theme of the nursery. That way some of the decorations used can possibly be taken home and used in the nursery. If an animal theme, stuffed animals placed on the tables can easily be incorporated into the nursery decor. If airplane themed nursery, some over-sized airplane decals will look great on the nursery walls.
Mustaches are HUGE these days. Host a "little man" shower filled with chocolate mustaches and bow tie garland.
The baby blue robin's egg is a popular theme for a baby shower for a boy. Some of the decorations can be little nests.
Other baby animals are popular for baby showers, such as baby ducks, which could be made into a bath-time themed party. Find some cute Rubber Ducky Centerpieces that are easy to make.
Lions and tigers and bears – oh my! If you like the animal theme, how about a jungle theme? Great idea for the boys. Some of the decorations can be little stuffed animals of monkeys, elephants, zebras and more, that the mother to be can take home and add to the nursery.
A nautical themed shower is a popular one for a boy. Decorate with lots of sailing and anchors. You can serve doughnuts as life preservers among your other party food.
One fun way to decide the theme of a baby shower is if you already know the name of the baby. If Jonah, you can have a whale theme. If the boy's name will be Noah, Noah's Ark is always such a cute theme. A great idea for a baby shower even when the baby's name is not Noah.
Sports themed showers are popular for boys. Especially if it is a shower in which the men are invited or are planning a party close to a large sports event like the super bowl. What about a Roll Tide Shower?
A baseball themed party can include decorations like foam fingers and banners. The cake can be in the shape of a ball diamond and you can serve hot dogs, peanuts and cracker jacks for fun foods.
Also, golf themed baby showers can be lots of fun, especially if the mother or father loves the game. Have white cake balls instead of a cake. Planters will with grass make easy, cute centerpieces.

In the fast-expanding enterprise application market, Slack grew faster than all of its peers this year, according to data released Monday.
The workplace messaging app grew more than 600 percent in 2015 within Okta, a single logon service for thousands of apps. Okta said it beat out other top platforms, including Microsoft's Azure cloud service.
"We are calling them the Usain Bolt of cloud apps. We think it's a trend. End users are loving the app and bringing their IT departments on board with them," said Cathy Tanimura, director of analytics and big data at Okta.

I'm getting ready to head out to a fancy dinner at Vista 18 with my friends, so I'm going to make this snappy. I still need to do my hair and put on a face!
Lunch was leftovers. Veggie stirfry 😀
Vegetable gyoza with dipping sauce.
Snacks – dried apricots & rice cracker/nut mix.
A cookie I engulfed when I rode in the door after work.
You may wonder why I'm posting if I have little time? Well, I have to wait for my hair to dry a bit before I put stying products in it.
So, as I said, I'm off to Vista 18, a pretty fancy restaurant & martini bar located at the top of one of the hotels in downtown Victoria. There are great views out over the city up there. Their menu is great – they heavily feature local products, which I'm all for. And their martini selection is second to none. Check out the menu – what would you order? I can't make up my mind!
Well, reservations are at 6:30. Gotta jet!

Batteries Are the Next Target in China's Clean-Energy Conquest
Clean-energy promoters hailed Tesla's announcement of plans for a Nevada "gigafactory"–a reference to the unit for measuring energy storage–back in 2014 as the dawn of a new American industry. The $5 billion facility would eventually produce millions of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles as well as energy storage on the grid.
But behind the headlines, leading battery researchers and entrepreneurs say the gigafactory represents an exception to the rule in the fast-growing global industry for lithium-ion batteries. No matter what Tesla has planned, the U.S. is set to lag China in the battery race if current trends continue.

Anyone interested to Slam on that night should register before 7:00pm on the 25th. Early Birds can register via FaceBook.
The Slam is free to both watch and participate in but a small donation to go back into the prize fund will be much appreciated!
• Poetry Slam™ is the competitive art of performance poetry. It puts a dual emphasis on writing and performance, encouraging poets to focus on what they're saying and how they're saying it
• Poetry Slam™ is a three round poetry contest in which poets perform, recite, or read
their works before an audience under a time limit (usually three minutes each)
• The poems are judged immediately afterward by five people picked randomly from the audience who award numerical values (from zero to ten) to each poem. Individual or group that scores the highest points, wins the competition.
What are the rules?
Though rules vary from slam to slam, the basic rules are:
• Each poem must be of the poet's own construction.
• Each poet gets three minutes (plus a ten second grace period) to read one poem, if the poet goes over, points will be deducted from the total score.
• The poet may or may not use props, costumes, or musical instruments (this depends on the slam master).
• Of the scores the poet received from the five judges, the highest and lowest scores are dropped, and the middle three are added together, giving the poet a total score of 0-30.
• There are many other kinds of specialised slams – following themes e.g. Dead Poet Slams (classic poets, presented by performers); poetical form slams like sonnet, haiku or pantoum slams; or thematic slams e.g. romantic, environmental slams etc.
• Solo or team competition (up to 4 members).
• Group competition has become one of the hallmarks of international slam culture and it helps to develop a sense of community and team spirit, adding a great deal of artistic excitement to any slam event.
How does Poetry Slam™ differ from an open Mike reading?
• Poetry Slam™ is engineered for the audience, whereas a number of open mike readings
are engineered as a support network for poets.
• Poetry Slam™ is designed for the audience to react vocally and openly to all aspects of
the show, including the poet's performance, the judges' scores, and the host's banter
What kind of poetry is read at Poetry Slams™?
• You'll find a diverse range of work within slam, including heartfelt love poetry, searing social
commentary, uproarious comic routines, and bittersweet personal confessional pieces.
• Poets are free to do work in any style on any subject if it is not a specialised (thematic)
Poetry Slam.
How do I win a Poetry Slam™?
• Winning a poetry slam requires some measure of skill and a huge dose of luck. The judges' tastes, the audience's reactions, and the poets' performances all shape a slam event.
• There's no formula for winning a slam, although you become a stronger poet and performer the same way you get to Carnegie Hall — practice, practice, practice.
So to sum it all up... You have to check this out. Probably one of the coolest event to ever hit the Malaysia shores.
Date/Day: 25th March 2009 / Saturday
Venue: Lepaq Cafe, Sri Hartamas
Time: 7.00 p.m.
And its free Y'all!!
p.s. I just found out that Fynn Jamal and Hazlan are in the Slam! More reasons to go check out the Poetry Slam eh.

How To Make Chocolate
People right across the globe love chocolate, because of its naturally smooth, silky texture and its deliciously distinct sweet and rich flavour. The quality of chocolate largely depends on the method used to make it. Ready-made chocolate can be bought in retail supermarkets across the globe, and there are many types available, from rich, dark chocolate to milky white chocolate. Quality also ranges widely; therefore, the price varies from brand to brand.
There are many recipes, but chocolate is made essentially from cocoa beans, and can be made into different forms of food or beverage, such as chocolate cookies (learn how to make chocolate cookies) or biscuits, chocolate milk (learn how to make chocolate milk), hot chocolate, chocolate candy, chocolate brownies, chocolate chips, chocolate bars, chocolate mousse, and the list goes on.
The good news is; store-bought chocolate is very easy to work with when attempting to make homemade chocolate, and can be easily melted using an ordinary household microwave oven, or by putting it into a glass or ceramic bowl and heating over a pot of boiling water. If using the boiling water method, never let your bowl touch the boiling water, only use the steam to heat the bowl.

Health Benefits
Chocolate is made from plants, which means it contains many of the health benefits of dark vegetables. These benefits are from flavonoids, which act as antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body from aging caused by free radicals, which can cause damage that leads to heart disease. Dark chocolate contains a large number of antioxidants (nearly 8 times the number found in strawberries). Flavonoids also help relax blood pressure through the production of nitric oxide, and balance certain hormones in the body.
Chocolate also holds benefits apart from protecting your heart:
- it tastes good
- it stimulates endorphin production, which gives a feeling of pleasure
- it contains serotonin, which acts as an anti-depressant
- it contains theobromine, caffeine and other substances which are stimulants
Does Chocolate Have a lot of Fat?
Here is some more good news -- some of the fats in chocolate do not impact your cholesterol. The fats in chocolate are 1/3 oleic acid, 1/3 stearic acid and 1/3 palmitic acid:
- Oleic Acid is a healthy monounsaturated fat that is also found in olive oil.
- tearic Acid is a saturated fat but one which research is shows has a neutral effect on cholesterol.
- Palmitic Acid is also a saturated fat, one which raises cholesterol and heart disease risk.
That means only 1/3 of the fat in dark chocolate is bad for you.

A confusing subject! Broccoletti are usually just a name for cima di rapa (the leaves, stems, and buds of a variety of turnip). But they can also be: young broccoli, or else broccolini (a hybrid, slender-stalked broccoli).
Around Italy you'll also hear cima di rapa called friarielli (Campania), rapini, rape, rappi or broccoli di rape.

The Hauptstadt has plenty to offer even the tiniest of travellers. Have you ever seen a real panda, and an ice cream truck? In Berlin, you can.
Though many travellers associate Berlin with history museums, thundering techno clubs, über-cool speakeasy bars, and other decidedly adult-friendly pleasures, the fact of the matter is you'd be hard-pressed to find a city that loves the little ones more than this one. The German capital boasts a vast network of public parks, not to mention educational attractions for the mini-jet-set.
Dating all the way back to 1844, Germany's oldest and best-loved zoo is a must for families with children and teenagers of all ages. It also happens to rank among the most biodiverse in the entire world. Kids should be sure to pay a visit to the Nocturnal House, where bug-eyed bush babies, slow lorises and other cuddly critters of the night reside, then swing by the World of Birds, one of the finest aviaries in all of Europe, before observing gorillas, orangutans and other primates at play. Feeding times are staggered throughout the day, so it's possible to watch both the giant panda and the playful penguins at their most active.
When it comes to kid-friendly crowd-pleasers, it's all but impossible to top an old-fashioned petting zoo. Although this isn't the only "children's farm" in Berlin, it's by far one of the most popular. For a larger selection of exotic beasts, families should pay a visit to the Berlin Zoological Garden. For a lazy Saturday afternoon, however, this free attraction in the middle of Kreuzberg is just right. Little ones can coo over all their favourite barnyard friends, including goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, pigs and donkeys.
After you've given your kids their requisite dose of culture for the day, reward them with a sweet treat at one of Berlin's best ice cream shops. Owner Gabrielle Jones had the brilliant idea of placing her scoops on top of giant, super-soft cookies and making her own cones with pronounceable ingredients—butter, eggs, sugar, milk, flour and nothing else—that earn a parental stamp of approval. Kids can keep it simple with classic combos like a triple-chocolate cookie with fudge-caramel-peanut ice cream, while parents may opt for less conventional combinations such as a matcha-white chocolate or peanut butter-bacon cookie with whiskey-pecan ice cream.
Of all of Berlin's many museums, the natural history one is a sure-fire hit with kids of all ages. The biggest highlight here is the imposing 12-metre-long skeleton of Tristan Otto, a ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex unearthed in the Hell Creek Formation in Montana in 2010. It took four years of painstaking work to restore the remains to their current condition, but the results are truly impressive. A full 170 out of roughly 300 bones are real, making this the third best-preserved T-rex specimen anywhere in the world.

BRS New Products
The value of the BRS license system provides endless returns for each of our licensees. Our Product Development team reacts to the market and feedback from our licensees to create new products that improve and enhance your roof system.
The next generation Back-up Plate, BP2-324, was completely redesigned with tighter tolerances and wings. This back-up plate does not rely on the purlin for support. The engineered pre-punched recessed holes are important to this redesign, minimizing strip outs and increasing clamping force. The BP2-324 is also easier to install and is available in different versions to place over rigid board.
BRS has also designed a groundbreaking ModuleClmp™ and Alignment bar, which will ensure that the panel and clips are installed properly on module. The clamp locks the panel corrugation into the design dimension, while the bar holds the clip and panel leading edge on module until clip fasteners are installed. You can also use the ModuleClmp™ while seaming a roof that has been installed out of module.
Our Product Development team tries to be budget conscience. The newly designed and patented Sealantless Clips, MPS 604 & 605, allow for savings of two cents per clip. These clips create a sealant channel, which allows the sealant from the panel to flow between the strategically designed and placed holes bridging together and creating a continuous bead of sealant. This clip maintains the same performance as the current clip and provides a better seal.
Another money saving clip we have designed is our WindClip™, BA 602 & 603. These clips are used in high wind zones and reduce the need to add purlins, clips or seam clamps. The WindClip™ series comes in three different lengths; 8", 12" and 16". No special installation is required, they install just like the standard clips, just more cost efficient. An additional benefit is they provide more expansion/contraction slide for long runs.
If you have questions about any of these products or would like samples, please contact us at (405) 607-8877. Orders can also be placed for these products with Logan Stampings.

Tech giants should take the rap for enabling fake news, boffins tell EU
Yes, yeesss, give us lots of new things to do, say academics
Giant US tech platforms are spreading misinformation and deliberately hiding their algorithms to evade scrutiny, according to a report for the European Commission.
The expert working group on fake news and disinformation headed by law professor Dr Madeleine de Cock Buning warned there's no quick fix to the problem – and avoided quantifying how big the problem is. She noted the phrase "fake news" has been "appropriated and used misleadingly by powerful actors to dismiss coverage that is simply found disagreeable" – whoever that may be.
The professor defined the problem – but avoided attempting to quantify how much of a problem it might be. The commission cited a pan-EU survey from last month where 83 per cent thought misinformation was a threat to democracy, although on closer inspection that revealed enormous differences in perception across the 27 member states (more below).
Having warned against censorship and internet fragmentation, the professor made recommendations for areas of further probing.
These include that the systems that circulate news should be more transparent; the professional European news industry should be diverse and sustainable; there should be more media literacy and more research; and finally there should be tools "for empowering users and journalists to tackle disinformation and foster a positive engagement with fast-evolving information technologies" – such as labelling and curation tools for news feeds and search results.
Platforms "have also enabled the production and circulation of disinformation, on a larger scale than previously, often in new ways that are still poorly mapped and understood". They should make retracting stories easier and work on "developing new online tools allowing users to exercise their right to reply and to correct false stories" – heralding a new battleground in online flame wars.
Graphic source: European Commission
Media literacy and research are two favourites of EU working groups, as they pave the way for more work. In 2013, before the phrase "fake news" had ever been uttered by a sitting US President, a similar call for greater media literacy went out. That working group called for EU-wide state regulation of the media, with "independent media councils" able to impose fines or "even remove journalistic status", the licence to print news. None of those calls are repeated in this report.
The working group recommended better labelling of sources and whether content is paid-for, and "information on payments to human influencers and use of robots" – obliging Macedonian troll farms to self-identify.
Media literacy "must be implanted on a massive scale in school curricula and in teacher training curricula, with clear methods of evaluation and cross-country comparison [why? – ed] and with reflection in educational rankings gauges". A pan-EU community of practice should be established.
As for revealing the algorithms, the working group floated the idea of open APIs "to monitor effects", as Twitter apparently does. But the report noted that fact-checking labels "can be counter-productive" and providing alternative links may be more effective. It envisaged a goal of "an open market for fact-checking" that avoids a "monopoly of truth" with a management board "composed of experts". That should do it.
Only 13 per cent of UK respondents think the EU should play a part in fixing the fake news problem. Most favour journalists and citizens sorting it out themselves. But as we've noted before, the idea that humans "can be engineered and corrected by instruction from their enlightened betters" (Daniel Bell) burns bright.
The Euro Barometer polling highlighted big differences across the EU. Trust in print varies from 33 per cent (Hungary) to 90 per cent (Finland); trust in online social networks and messaging apps isn't higher than 41 per cent (Portugal, Sweden) and 17 per cent in Germany (UK: 25 per cent).
More people are confident they can identify false news or misinformation than not, ranging from 98 per cent (Denmark) to 56 per cent and 55 per cent in Portugal and Spain respectively. ®

text: The shipment of 400,000 tonnes of rice to North Korea is conditional on an end to nuclear work [AFP] "We made clear that it would be difficult for us to proceed with the rice aid as scheduled [starting in late May] unless North Korea acts to fulfill the February 13 agreement," Chin Dong-Soo, chief South Korean delegate, told journalists in Pyongyang, North Korea's capital. 'The key' He said the North's compliance with the nuclear deal was "the key" for receiving the rice aid. The two sides were originally scheduled to wrap up the four days of talks in Pyongyang with a joint statement on Saturday, but the talks were extended until Sunday as the two sides haggled over food aid and nuclear disarmament. Seoul suspended its massive shipment of rice after the North's missile tests last July. Ties soured further after Pyongyang's October nuclear test, but improved when the North returned to six-nation nuclear disarmament talks. SOURCE: Agencies
